January 22, 2013 - PCW Wrestling - Tachuano, Chile

Commentators: Alfred Pressley & James Westerfield
Attendance: 2,400

A clip of Chris Hero accepting James Storm’s open invitation for a title match at Full Throttle is shown, with the added stipulation that both title belts will be on the line. The clip ends as an outside shot of the arena is shown. Alfred Pressley welcomes everyone to lovely South America, and his joined by James Westerfield.

James Storm’s music begins to play as he walks to the ring, drinking from a bottle of beer, wearing the Heavyweight Title around his waist. Inside the ring, Storm says that it’s an honor to be in Chile, and he couldn’t think of a better way to start things off, then to come out and talk about Chris Hero. Storm says that Hero manned up and accepted his open challenge last week. But he had to tweak it a little. Storm says that he’s fine with Hero putting his neck – and Television Title – on the line because, at Full Throttle, Hero’s damn luck is going to run out.

Storm is interrupted as the Tag Team Champions, JAY BRISCOE and THE ESPERANZA come on-stage. Briscoe says that he’s cutting Storm off before he repeats the same, dated lines he’s always said. Briscoe tells Storm that he’ll have his time to say whatever he wants to Chris Hero, but it’s not going to be tonight. Briscoe says, instead of Storm being worried about Chris Hero at Full Throttle, he should be worried about The Esperanza later tonight. Storm tells Briscoe that he doesn’t worry about a damn thing because he’s been in enough fights to know how to take an ass-kicking. But, he tells Briscoe to translate to The Esperanza that tonight, he’s sorry about his damn luck, too because it’s about to run out.

Bad Bones vs. David Otunga
Last week, Bad Bones was able to put an end to Justin Gabriel’s three-week winning streak, albeit with some help from his tag team partner, Carnage. Nonetheless, Bad Bones was looking to get his own streak started against David Otunga, who was coming off a victory two weeks ago. Otunga didn’t look at strong as he did in his last outing, as Bad Bones dominated most of the match – even without outside interference – eventually hitting the Shadow Driver for the 1-2-3.

Bad Bones pinned David Otunga with the Shadow Driver in 10:15.

Returning from the break, Brooke Barlow is seen with BAYLEY. Bayley says that, after her loss last week, she found herself doing a lot of thinking. She says she’s only been in this business for a short time but coming out to the ring every time she had the chance only to lose was taking its toll on her. She said she started to wonder if she was cut out to be a wrestler. But then she remembered the night she won the Women’s Title in front of her friends and family, and how great that felt. Bayley says that was the moment she knew her decision was made. She tells Brooke that, no matter how long it takes, she’s going to be Women’s Champion once again.

Nikki Bella vs. Brie Bella
Before the match got started, NATALYA came down to the ring, joining the broadcast team. She placed the Women’s Title on the table in front of her and said, without hesitation, that she was going to accept Brie’s challenge and defend the title at Full Throttle. When Brie made her way to the ring, she stopped in front of the broadcast table and shared words with Natalya before entering the ring. This would be a common theme throughout the match as, whenever Brie had some breathing room, she would toss insults towards the Women’s Champion. Having enough of Brie’s antics, Natalya took her headset off and stood up behind the booth. This prompted Brie to leave the ring and the two women shared more words, which ended when Brie slapped Natalya across the face! Enraged, Natalya grabbed Brie as she re-entered the ring, and the two women began brawling at ringside. The referee had no option but to disqualify Nikki and award the match to Brie. Afterward, HWL officials rushed to the ring and separated the two women.

Brie Bella defeated Nikki Bella by DQ in 8:05.

Luke Gallows & Gabriel Fuerza vs. Shinya Ishikawa & Sheamus
Gallows and Fuerza are still trying to get into the groove as a team since the newcomer’s arrival. They scored a big victory last week against former Tag Team Champions. Tonight, their opponents were two men that have been on a hot streak since joining the PCW. A hard fought match for Gallows and Fuerza was ultimately undone by a rookie mistake, which led to Ishikawa hitting Fuerza with the Roaring Elbow for the victory.

After the match, Sheamus gets a microphone and issues a challenge to Jay Briscoe and The Esperanza for the Tag Team Titles at Full Throttle. He says they’ve dominated every other team in the PCW, and now it’s time to take the gold to prove it. He and Ishikawa leave the ring as the show goes to commercials.

Returning from the break, Commissioner Rex Butler announces that, due to the result of their match last week, Jack Swagger will face The Big Show in a Falls-Count-Anywhere Match at Full Throttle.

Carnage vs. The Big Show
Just minutes after hearing the announcement that he would be facing Jack Swagger at Full Throttle The Big Show came out to the ring and wasted no time sending a message. Unfortunately, Carnage was the recipient of that message, as he got clocked by a right hook from The Big Show, knocking him out on the concrete floor. The Big Show rolled Carnage back into the ring, making the pinfall, before saying that Swagger won’t be so lucky next time.

The Big Show defeated Carnage via pinfall in 9:19.

Returning from the break, PCW Tag Team Champion Jay Briscoe makes his way out to the ring. Briscoe says that he’s scheduled to have a match tonight, but there’s he doesn’t have an opponent. He says that no one in their right mind would come out here and face him. But he wants a fight and he isn’t leaving the ring until he gets one. Briscoe says he’ll find anyone in the back if they have the guts to come out here and face him. After waiting for a few minutes, four-time PCW Heavyweight Champion DANIEL BRYAN makes his way on-stage in full ring gear.

Daniel Bryan vs. Jay Briscoe
The crowd was still coming down from their shock as Bryan joined Briscoe in the ring. A referee ran down from the back, and as soon as he called for the bell, Briscoe jumped Bryan from behind. Bryan, one of the original members of the PCW roster, fought back and had Briscoe locked in an armbar submission before he was able to reach the ropes. Briscoe looked like he had finally met his match until THE ESPERANZA made his way to ringside. He stood calmly near the apron, waiting for his chance to strike. And, when it came, The Esperanza cracked his tag team title belt over the head of Bryan. Briscoe took advantage, hitting a Frankensteiner for the 1-2-3. After the match, Briscoe escaped the ring, and celebrated with his partner, having stolen the match from the former champion.

Jay Briscoe pinned Daniel Bryan after a Frankensteiner in 5:05.

Non-Title Match
The Esperanza vs. © James Storm

At the start of the show, The Esperanza and Jay Briscoe interrupted Storm’s comments on Chris Hero, setting the tone for tonight’s main event. Briscoe made a point to accompany his partner to the ring in an attempt to intimidate the Heavyweight Champion. Briscoe’s appearance at ringside seemed not to phase Storm, who was able to focus on the task at hand. That is until CHRIS HERO ran down to the ring started taunting Storm. Hero’s presence took Storm’s attention off of The Esperanza, which was all he needed to take over the match. However, The Esperanza was not able to put Storm away. Storm was able to fight back, even hitting the Last Call. As Storm made the cover, Hero entered the ring and attacked the champion from behind. After the match, Hero assaulted Storm before PCW officials rushed down to the ring. Hero was escorted out of the ring, leaving Storm laying on the canvas, as the show goes off the air.

[Non-Title Match]:
James Storm defeated The Esperanza by DQ in 13:07.
