It's difference.
But that's power. That is exactly raw power exhibited by Russ Jones. Imagine the heat in that ring.
What would you estimate the heat at right now? Imagine the heat in that ring. I can feel the heat over
here. I'd say it's got to be at least 99 degrees somewhere in the middle. Almost took him out of the
ring with a chop. This is almost becoming one of those matches where you just
Jones to finish it quickly and let this kid go home. Oh my goodness. Spinning sidewalk slam. Oh he's
the academic right here. Oh he's just wanting to play with him that's it. Jones wants the punishment
to continue I suppose. Oh goalie and shots. He's like
He's like a cat that just found himself a chewy toy. He wants to continue playing with it. That is a
big kitty. Boots in the corner. That's very smart on the part of Bueller. Go up to where you know best.
Up to no man's land. Take to the air where he can't grab a hold of you. Started to get a second wind.
And this is why Adam Buehler belongs here in Infinity Pro. Russ is down, I think for the first time
in his life he's down. Oh, double these. Just crushes Russ Jones in the corner. You think this is going
to be enough? I hope this is enough. If not, I don't know what he can do to stop this man. Got it too. Oh, gosh.
Both men now trying to get to their feet. Russ Jones the first one up. Not sure who's beating Stiffen
with the forearm.
And trust me, ladies and gentlemen, when I say this, hold on a second. Nice bicycle kick! Made famous
by Pele in soccer, but Adam Buehler is using Russ Jones' head as the soccer ball. Trust me when I say
this, your TV does not need adjusting. Adam Buehler really is that skinny.
This should be over. He's advanced. Oh, he has not. What more does Adam Hewler have to give to Russ
Jones? On the ball there. I just think this is only the first match. This is ridiculous. Hewler getting
fans behind him here.
up to the top don't know if it's a smart decision but we're gonna find out this man is just a powerhouse
you okay there I'm sorry Wow
He's standing right now. I guarantee you. That's a possibility. He does look like a fried egg on the
canvas right now. Oh, goodness. Kenta Kobashi, Larry. And this one is done. Who? Kenta Kobashi.
You're gonna have to bring this by me before you start throwing out names that I've never heard of before,
okay? Speaking of Japanese wrestling, Adam Buehler, as well as an accomplished wrestler, also makes
fine pro wrestling DVDs, many of them featuring matches from Japan.
carry straight to a front slam. If he wasn't out before, I think he's out now. I'm pretty sure his head.
Oh, that's it. That's it. And with that, Big Russ Jones advances in the Grand Tournament.
You can walk right now. No, he's going to have to have some serious medical team come and look at him.
Well, Zero's in the ring, so I feel better. That's Big Bad Zero. What? He's not a doctor, but he did
stay at a Holiday Inn Express. Wow. You just went there. Yes. I'm here all night. And he's moving. You
can tell he's barely moving, but he is moving.
for sharing.
by case basis. Keith cream's looking to make an impact here in his return match. He's been away from
infinity pro for a while. Now he's back here looking to gain himself the title of grand tournament champion.
But yet he's got to go through Jack Thriller in order to do that.
that Keith Cream has been out of action here of recent, and that's because in another promotion, which
will go unnamed at this time, he actually suffered a concussion due to a maneuver known as a snap mere
drive. Interestingly enough, that is actually Jack Thriller's finishing maneuver. So that's not a good
sign at all, now is it? This may be
This may be a touchy match for Keith Cream. Although if he's smart, he may have learned some counters
to that maneuver on his time off. We can only hope. I mean, wrestlers are always hard at work on their
careers trying to add new moves to the repertoire. So let's see what Keith Cream brings to the table
tonight. Oh, stomping on the hand. Tough to get a grip whenever you can't use your fingers.
You got to remember, fans, it is very hot in this arena. It is very, very hot. So these guys, they sweat
just like the rest of us, so accidents can happen due to too much sweat. Reverse wrist lock takes him
straight to the mat.
a little payback. And I tell you, Johnny, don't forget they stated earlier the winner of this match
will go on later tonight to face off against the TNA X division champion himself, Mr. Austin Aries,
who is here tonight in the building. So exciting.
his forearm right across the bridge of the nose of Keith Cream. Referee reprimanding Jack Thriller for
those dirty tactics. Well, you know, you got to reprimand him for the dirty tactics, but at the same
time, this is Infinity Pro. This is the grand tournament. Everybody's going to do anything they can
just to be named tournament champion. That's right. Putting that up and over to a knee strike. Oh my goodness.
connects. Person with the Irish whip. Oh, big counter of the cross body with a Yakuza kick. I think
he may have caught him in the face. Man, oh man, that's why I'm glad to have you out here with me, Johnny,
because these guys tonight are going to do some things that I guarantee you I have never heard of in
my entire life. So I'm going to be relying on you for that. Stick root in the corner.
That's what I'm here for, brother. Oh, bending elbow strike. Keith Frieden measuring Jack Thriller.
What's he going to hit him with? Oh, look. Manager getting involved. What are you talking about? He's
not getting involved. He's just trying to show him his nice light up belt. Oh, European uppercut. Followed
by a back fist.
straight on to Jack Thriller's manager. I don't think that was part of the plan. Hope he gets Hazard
Pay. Keith Kree maybe looking to dive. Oh! A twisting sting shot dive. That's a house show in the face.
tossing him back in the ring. Oh, a leg trip right into a back breaker. Innovative offense by Keith
Green. Very close. That maneuver, that sliding forearm smash actually made famous by Masato Tanaka in
Japan. He calls it
I did not know that. And now you do. Oh, a buffalo sleeper. Made famous by Hiroshi Tenzan. This is actually
a camouflage variation. He may tap. Oh, never mind. Able to make his way to the ropes. Keith Cream showcasing
that that concussion he sustained didn't do much to damage the repertoire
that he currently holds. Missed the corner splash. Oh, repeat it, please. Oh, did I mention that every
time you have a concussion? Oh, it's easier to have another one. He doesn't air, he threw it at two.
Oh, what a kick out at two. If he doesn't air, then his head must be made of steel surrounded by eggshells.
After that spinning reverse STO, what more does Jack Thriller have to do to put away Keith Cream? That's
the thing about the Infinity Pro roster when you look at it. These guys, none of them are pushovers.
You're gonna have to use everything you've got in order to take each guy out. Think maybe the ref might
be getting on to Jack Thriller.
having Keith Creeham hung up on the ropes like that. Oh, now just grabbing the ears. I don't think that's
a legal maneuver. No manipulation of small joints, no groin shots, no eye rakes, no fish hooks. I believe
pulling the ears falls under. You know, referee Ollie Thorpe, the man in the ring right now, you know,
he currently holds a record. Oh, look, look, what's going on in the corner. What? What were you saying?
Ollie Thorpe, he currently is the only
pro referee to hold a record in the referee hot dog eating contest. I have it on good authority. Big
sidewalk slam. You know, if there's one thing you can't count Jack Thriller out on, it's the amount
of charisma to
The amount of charisma and the huge ego this guy brings to the table. That might not have been a smart
move on the part of Thriller. He should have went right back on Keith Cream instead of jaw-jacking with the fans.
is known for being very vocal in his matches. Oh, a big chop. Keith King's starting to fire back. Oh!
Spinning head kick and a jumping knee. This Bloomington crowd is going crazy. Oh, and cut off with that
lifting knee strike.
I've never seen something like that before. Just pulling him outside the ring and slingshotting him
on that second rope. Keith Green's going up top. What are we going to see? Is this going to be a smart
move? Oh, and a diving double knee strike. Oh, he's hit. Smashing the back of the head of Thriller against
the Canvas 2.
Three quarters. Referee announcing there is one minute left in this match. These two men have one minute
to try and find a winner. Somebody's got to pull out a quick pin. Setting him up. Could be going for
a Frankensteiner. Interference on the outside. Jack's almost there. Trying to get involved.
first. A lifting reverse. Oh. The referee being pulled out of the ring. Pulls the referee out. That's
not a legal move to do. And the referee ejecting the manager from ringside. Rightfully so. You are out
of here mister. And the audience seems to agree.
Jack Thriller's plan just backfired on him, it looks like. Oh, going straight back for that buffalo
sleeper. And with that, Keith Cream advances to later tonight where he will face off against a double
himself, Austin Aries.
Do you respect Keith Green? Very much, as well everyone should. That's two matches down, two men advancing
in the tournament, and we've still got more action to go.
The tournament was won. I know that it was only the first round, Max, but I felt it. I felt it, Max!
And I can't believe that no good piece of crap Ali threw you. What was the spark for, Max? Jack, Jack,
calm down. Calm down. It was never about winning the tournament. It was never about winning the trophy.
the title. It was about getting the platform. It was about telling the people about Project Max.
You know, you fell a little short, but I'm okay with that. You want to know why, Jack? Why are you okay
with it, Max? I fell short. I feel like I let you down, Max. I feel like I let you down, Max. Jack,
I'm ready now to take you to the next level. Let's do that. We got to hit
Sugar Dunkerton, a newcomer here to Infinity Pro Wrestling. I spoke to this man earlier today and he
told me he was very excited to be here, to debut for this company and actually have a shot in his first
night here to be named Grand Tournament Champion. Yeah, Sugar Dunkerton is a newcomer here to Infinity Pro,
He's been a lot of places in the wrestling business already in his short career. That he has been and
now he is here. Infinity Pro welcomes Sugar Duncan.
Dungerton unfamiliar with Isaiah's unorthodox martial arts based style but now he's drug him into a
good old-fashioned wrestling match. Side headlock applied. Well you look at a guy like Isaiah and you're
gonna realize they don't call him the Hood Ninja just because it's a cool name.
Isaiah showing that he's well versed in wrestling as well. Reversing the headlock with a top wrist lock
right into an arm drag. Sugar is going out to the outside to do some calisthenics. Obviously, he wasn't
warmed up quite enough before this match. Oh, he's back in the ring. He's going to give it one more
shot. I'm surprised because he did some suicides right there in the ring. I saw him warm up. But he's
still alive.
Deep arm drag. I said when this match began that Isaiah might not know what he's got in the form of
Sugar Dunkerton, but I think I may have to take my words back and say that Sugar Dunkerton might not
know what he's got in Isaiah. Indeed, no pushover. Either of these men, either one could go on and win
the entire tournament. That's the cool thing about all Infinity Pro shows. Every single match is a potential
main event in
the other company. Exactly. And let's not forget. Oh, and a Hadouken. Made famous by Katie Omega. And
also right from the Street Fighter games. Let us not forget fans. The winner of this contest will advance
to the second round and face off against the Hebrew hammer himself, Joseph Schwartz. Could you imagine
Sugar Dunkerton and Joseph Schwartz in a ring together? You know what?
able to pull out the victory we won't have to imagine it it'll actually become a reality but the same
thing goes for Isaiah. Sugar Duncan just taking a breather right now. Oh don't do the flare flop. So
far this match
been all Isaiah when it comes to offense. Kick right to the shin and then a deep arm drag of his own.
Finally, Dunkerton gets some offense.
using Isaiah's head as the basketball. He lost his dribble. Oh, what a roundhouse. Two. Almost a spinning
cross body. Good friction count. He barely kicked out on that one. You saw that.
ahead and pass a note here. Your referee for this contest is John Gray. And John Gray asked me earlier
to go ahead and give him a little plug for his radio show. So I'm going to go ahead his internet radio
show. It's called The Real Side of Wrestling. Host with John Gray. You could find it on realsidemedia.com.
That's Real Side of Wrestling with your host John Gray on realsidemedia.com. Oh, hi Isaiah.
corner splash, but only two. I've said it all night, Johnny, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it again.
They're not just battling themselves, but they're also battling the heat in this building right now.
You fans at home, you're not able to really feel what we're feeling right now, but I guarantee you,
it's hot, sweltering.
The heat index has to be just over 110. It's ridiculous. Oh, counter with a schoolboy roll up. This
might be it. Oh, and a two.
straight to the face. Sugar getting the crowd behind him. The chocolate ice cream dream as he likes
to call himself. Showcasing just why he's been all over the scene in professional wrestling. Here it comes.
built up a tremendous head of steam, and then a sliding Japanese drop kick, but only two. I tell you,
this is a great crowd to be in front of. Bloomington, Indiana, they're just fantastic people. This place
has been the place that Infinity Pro has called home for a long time now. Yeah, indeed. Always the best
fans. Oh, and a front jawbreaker.
Almost a variation of a stone cold stunner. Double knees in the corner. Follows up with a big leg lariat.
Good lord. Well, somebody might want to tell him where he's at right now. Isaiah saying finish him.
He hits this, then that's it. It's over. Big Swanton. Oh, and the Lariat turns him inside out. Two minutes
remaining. Hit him hard enough, it knocked the basketball out. And there it is! And with that,
Hickerton advances into the second round later tonight where he will do battle with the Hebrew hammer
Joseph Schwartz. And that is going to be a great match. That is going to be too much ridiculousness in one.
Nice show of respect there between Isaiah and Sugar Dunkerton. Tremendous sportsmanship. And just think
of it. Think of it like this, Johnny. This is Sugar Dunkerton's first ever night in Infinity Pro. And
already he's advanced into the second round of the Grand Tournament Championship. He can win this whole
thing! He's already gained the support of a lot of fans here in Infinity Pro.
He could not only face X Division champion Austin Aries in his opening night of Infinity Pro Action,
but he could also go on to become the first ever grand tournament champion. Unbelievable. Seems like
my first time out in the singles tournament. All anybody wants to do is play games. Well, look at my
face. Does it look like I play all the time? I don't think so.
I'm not here to play with you, I'm not here to play with anybody else, and Infinity Pro. Me, I'm mad
enough to take my losses as such. I take my scars, I take my stripes, and I take them like a man. So
there is no excuses. But failure? Failure I did not. You did catch me slippin', and that was my one
and only mistake as I went to finish you sugar dunkin'. Oh yes, you heard her write sugar dunkin', because as far as
you're too worried about being sweet, than wearing the gold and being the first tournament winner for
Infinity Pro Wrestling. But that's okay, I'm on to other things. And I'm focused, more than I ever have
before. I might be high, but I ain't gettin' high. And I'll tell you one thing, I'm gonna stay fly.
And when I come, Ninja Strike, Ninja's gonna win, and then Ninja Vantage. But until that time, this
is not the last time you've seen a big ninja.
No matter what size, no matter what person, no matter what fed you come from. If you don't know me,
you will get to know me. Go Ninja, go. First round knockout, first out of the playoffs, Isaiah.
Good match, not good enough for the grand tournament champion. You went down and out to the shot clock.
To be back, to get a playoff win, and be the marquee guy in Infinity Pro on my first night. And it started
off the right way. So Schwartz, I hear I got you next. You're gonna need all six points to that star,
David. And hope, hope and pray that whatever it is you pray to gives you enough power to be able to
get past the chocolate ice cream dream. Because I promise you, you will go to sleep. And when the finals
are over, and when they get ready to name that champion for
Sugar Dunkerton makes his debut a winning one. I'd be worried about the competition, but I'm just too
busy being delicious.
telling me that.
not forget all the hype he got when he joined forces with Darius Willis from Indiana University.
tournament match. It's Jake Omen, leader of the Life Power Church against Vet Guide PJB.
Might be right. Going for the half and half. Turns over and only a two count. PJB's got to try to mount
some kind of offense. Trust me, he may not be getting any offense in right now, but hold on. Do not
count PJB out. This man has the heart of a fighter, and he will showcase that at some point.
as if chops in the corner. Oh, but he turns him around. And there it is. Just what I was telling you.
Showing him how it's done. Oh, just raking the laces of the boots right across the face. I can tell
you from experience, that move hurts. And he's choking him on the second rope. Cross faces to boot.
Right in front of the referee.
He's got to the count of five to break that hole, otherwise it will be a disqualification. Oh,
standing STO. Followed up with another double stomp. Two. Blake Omen is firmly in control of this match
right now.
Almost no offense by PJB. Got a chant of life-powered church here coming from the crowd. These must
be Jake Omen's followers out here. Couple shots to the gun. Oh, and he takes a stiff Yakuza kick right
to the face.
Oh, a variation of a neck break. Could be it. Seems like every time PJ thinks he's going to get a little
bit of offense in, Jake Omen is there to cut him off at the pass. And you got to know that's that is
the strategic factor
for Jake Omen, who's been in the wrestling business just a little bit longer than that guy, PJ B. Some
up with a front face lock, trying to take him over with a suplex, but he applies the counter. Stiff
kicks in the corner. This may be his one shot to try and put Jake Omen away. Nails a stiff back elbow.
Oh, here's one of his trademarks. Oh, misses the drop kick off the second rope. Can PJ be capitalized?
Very well scouted by that guy. Oh, going for that's all she wrote. He counters. There's the drop kick.
Oh, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Are you as shocked as I am by that quick counter crucifix roll up? Can you believe that?
That's why in the Infinity Pro Dojo we always stress fundamentals. That means basic pin maneuvers like
that crucifix pin. They can come out of nowhere at any time. And the shock factor of professional wrestling
is in full effect here tonight. PJB advances in the Grand Tournament. A shocking upset if I do say so
myself. Jake Omen was firmly in control.
Alright, I'm not gonna make excuses for what happened tonight. I've never been one to make excuses my
whole life.
And everyone knows I've overcome a lot bigger obstacles than PJB. PJB, this isn't over. Tonight you
got lucky and you know it. The other nine out of 10 times when we step in that ring, we know that I'm
the one that's gonna end with his hand rixed. You know what? I've heard him say in Bloomington about
me getting soft, about me showing respect for my opponents. And you know what? Maybe, maybe I have gotten
a little soft. So I'm making you a promise tonight.
And it's not a promise to win matches. It's not a promise to win titles. It's a promise to destroy everybody
that steps in my way.
you think about it, before Brett Havoc went on his sabbatical, Brett Havoc himself was a member
of Revelation, but now here tonight, he finds himself standing on the opposite side of the ring of two
men who he once called his friends. Funny how things work out because Brett Havoc was actually one of
the original members of Revelation along with Kenneth James. Drew Lykos brought in later on to actually
take the part of Brett Havik because Brett Havik, well, he had to step away from the ring for a little
while. As I was starting to say earlier, ladies and gentlemen, this is a duos match. It's not just a
regular tag team match. In duos action, all matches in duos action will be competed under elimination rules.
If your partner is pinned, then you will survive to fight and try and earn the victory for your team.
That's right. Every member of a certain team must be eliminated. Very unique to Infinity Pro.
Here we go with the start of this non-tournament duos match. Looks like it's going to be Kenneth James
starting off with Brett Havin. Oh, this is very interesting. This is a stare down between two former
tag team partners. They know each other very well. Both have a background in amateur wrestling. Oh,
and Kenneth James makes the quick tag. He's not ready to face his former friend already.
Brett Havoc playing a little bit of mind games with Drew Lykos. Brett Havoc is the veteran in the ring
right now. Drew Lykos has only been wrestling for a short time as compared to Brett Havoc who has been
all over the state of Indiana as well as surrounding states, wrestling for years now. Look at this,
a show of respect or something. No, he's sucking him in. Test of strength right to a wrist lock.
Let's make mention of Brett Havik's partner here tonight, Tolerant Zero. That's a guy that, quite honestly,
you would not want to find in a dark alley somewhere. I guarantee it. This man is vicious. Although,
coincidentally, you would probably be more likely to find him in a dark alley than you would, say, at
a theme park. So, therefore, learn your lesson, kids. Stay out of dark alleys.
Oh, Brett Havoc just basically kicking the crap out of Drew Lykos right now. On hot days like this,
you can actually see the sweat come off whenever people land those stiff shots like that. I thought
that was Sprite. I don't know, whatever they use. Sure it's not cooking oil? I'm not sure of anything anymore.
shot to the gut. Brett Havoc just firmly in control. Brett Havoc has been all off since his match began.
Oh, just a stiff slap. I guess I spoke too soon. Oh, and a jumping into Gary right to the side of the head.
I don't know what you called that, but I call it an instant headache. Yep. Trying to get in the head
of Kenneth James. You got to wonder right now, does Brett actually want Kenneth James in there instead
of Lycos? And here comes the big man.
Tolerant Zero showcasing those fighting skills that he learned in his native homeland of Russia. A big
stalling vertical suplex straight into a jackhammer. Remember fans, the match does not end with one
pinfall. Both members of a team have to be eliminated in the Infinity Pro duo matches.
dropping clothesline only good for two but man I felt that one over here zero measuring him zero just
the type of guy that you don't really have to ask him if he's a bad man
He's bad because he spells his name with an X instead of a Z. Kenneth James with a stiff kick to the
back of zero. Now dropping the knees straight to the center of the spine. One of the most vulnerable
areas of the body.
actually illegal in many martial arts competitions to strike directly to the spine. Fortunately, our
referee is lenient with that rule. Brett Havoc trying to get these fans into it.
professional wrestling shows, we always love it when we have a ton of people come in because they feed
off the energy of the crowd. And on a hot day like this, these wrestlers really have to have some energy
to feed off of. Only gets a two count. Double stomp, senton combination. Very nice by Drew Lyko. Staying
on top of a tolerance zero and that's exactly what you have to do. If you're a smaller man and you get
a chance to get the bigger man down, you have to stay on them.
You know, I'm gonna say this right now, Johnny Tsunami, you yourself are a competitor in the duo's action,
in the duo's rankings, you and your brother Donnie. So I gotta ask you this, what's the mindset when
you know you're heading into a match like this? Well, basically, it depends on if you're able to scout
your opponents. If you are, great, because a lot of times you can form counters to their various maneuvers
ahead of time.
And you can be looking for those maneuvers. But a lot of times, you'll be wrestling guys you've never
even met before. And so you just have to trust in your abilities. And in our case, just a well-placed
tsunami bomb, one and done. And usually, that's all it takes. Saw some cheap tactics there, some double
team moves behind the referee's back. I tell you what, revelation. A team that Donnie and I have faced
in the past
They are well-versed in those dirty tactics. They can cheat with the best of them. Oh, distracting a
referee so that his partner can... Oh, but there's Brett Havoc to break it up. Referee John Gray didn't
see any tag. Referee's only one man. He can only do so much. But I think he's concentrating on the wrong
team at this point. Oh.
Trying to counter that front face lock and get to his partner. Zero desperately needs a tag right now.
Look at the power of Zero. Let's be honest, Kenneth James is no small man. Zero is just showcasing his
power. Oh, and there's a tag. Oh, but the referee didn't see it. Oh, no. Oh, no. That's smart. That's
smart on the part of Revelation. Oh, you know that they did that on purpose, too. See, that's that veteran
status that Kenneth James has.
An attempt. Drew Lykos almost picking up a big win by trying to pin tolerance zero there.
of stiff strikes. Oh, double knees to the face and then double knees to the upper back. Too big an attempt.
I think Brett Havoc is the only thing that stopped that from being the finish of the match.
That is one of the problems when you got four men competing in one match. There's only one referee.
He can't be everywhere at once. The referee is right where he needs to be. Right at this moment, as
Kenneth James was applying basically a bow and arrow stretch, trying to get tolerance zero to submit,
but no dice. Still firmly in control.
Tolerant Zero, starting to fire back. He needs to get a tag. Lifts him up with a chokeslam. Sick chokeslam.
Just drilled him through the canvas. Another example of just a pure raw power put forth by Tolerant
Zero. Oh, is he gonna get the tag? There, he's got it.
Well, here it comes. Here's the face off of former tag team partners. This is what they've been waiting
on, I guarantee it. Oh, wait a second. What is this? He suckered him in. Super kick right to Tolerant
Zero's chin. And that's it.
his partner turning his back on him, showcasing he's still with Revelation. That's all I can assume.
That was just a dirty double cross. He suckered us. He suckered us all in. But you know, maybe that's
what he wanted all along, just to pick up another victory for his real team, Revelation.
Look at that, he's got his revelation outfit. His own revelation outfit he just brought out here. We
should have known, we should have thought about this. He's got a t-shirt, but it looks like James also
has something else in his hands. What is that? Oh no. That looks like a set of handcuffs. Is that handcuffs?
I don't know what they've got in mind.
It's three on one right now. There's three guys in the ring and Ciro's all by himself, but he's going
to fight anyway. Oh, T-bone suplex. Oh, come on. This just isn't right. Come on, the match is over.
Leave him alone.
Bring Zero to the bottom rope. He's fighting out of it. He's not going to let him do this easily. Tolerant
Zero, just a beast of a man. Taking a face kick. There's no way he can fight off two men. They have
officially handcuffed Tolerant Zero to the bottom rope. He's not going anywhere.
This is not good. This is not good. What is, is that a chair? They're bringing a chair into this. Oh,
come on, put the chair down. Don't do that to him. Don't do this.
This is a mulling. Hey, I'll be right back. Where are you going? Johnny Tsunami just taking off from
the broadcast position. Join it with his brother.
tonight, Johnny Tsunami and his brother Donnie in the ring coming to the aid of Tolerant Zero. It's
about time somebody did. Get the handcuffs off of him. They got the keys. I think they got him free.
But the damage has already been done with that steel chair.
The six-man tag team challenge for September 29th just laid out on the table.
is bigger than Adam Bueller, who Russ Jones faced earlier on. So he's presenting much more of a fight
that Russ Jones is going to have to somehow find a way to overcome. Trying to whip the man on the outside.
Not sure it's a good idea. Oh. Reversal right into that ring post. Those things do not give. I hope
these fans are quick on their feet when these wrestlers are outside. There's no guardrails protecting them. Oh.
targeting that left arm of Austin Mannix. Well, that's a smart move. You know, target a person's limb,
try to wear it down, you might be able to get a submission victory out of it. Also, you'll notice Russ
Jones specifically going after the left arm of Austin Mannix. Traditionally, that's a tactic used by
many people because the left arm specifically
on the body. Oh, chop right to the throat. Just applying a hammer lock right over the ropes. That is
an illegal move, which is why referee Jack Maverick started the count. Boy, Russ Jones just going right
after that arm, like a pit bull.
Russ Jones is just a dominant force. There is not very many things in this earth that can stand up to
the power of the destroyer of worlds himself. And a rake to the eyes. He was just wiping some of the
sweat out of his face.
You don't see it real well, do you? I see just fine. 20-40. Cranking on that shoulder. Almost a top
wrist lock. I think he's going to dislocate Mannix's arm. Austin Mannix, maybe we'll just call this,
try it again next year.
Spinning sidewalk slam. This is academic here. Still had enough energy left to kick out at two. Oh,
and a one arm jaw breaker. A shining warlock.
the tournament. Russ Jones is out of the tournament. What did I tell you? Those quick roll up bins.
It can come out of nowhere. Quick victory for Austin Mannix, but what kind of damage has been done to
that shoulder? It's hard to tell. He might have to be looked at by a specialist in the back. He still
is going to have to compete tonight. He advances, but you know, for his opponent,
This might be like there's sharks in the water smelling blood. This might not be a good thing. With
dangerous competitors such as Keith Cream and Austin Aries still in the tournament. And Russ Jones is
just beside himself. And I'm with him. I can't believe I just saw that.
All I can say is thank you for coming. Better luck next time.
Austin Aries, he's got a lot on his plate coming up. Everybody knows about his upcoming shot at Bobby
Rude for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, but he told us all before the start of the night that
his focus is not on that night. It's gonna be on tonight and becoming the grand tournament champion.
Quick headlock takeover. Austin Aries on top right now. And Johnny looks like we're being joined here
on commentary
Mr. James Altraz himself and, you know, Mr. Altraz, I got to ask you, he kind of, kind of reamed you
out there a little bit. He kind of read you the riot act. I mean, that's the way it looked to us. Look,
all I know is the flight was 10 minutes late. I have no control over the airlines. This is how Austin
Aries wants to do business. If you're all I've done for him, after bringing him here to this hick town,
then that's fine. Austin Aries can play all the games he wants.
See, I've got enough of a bankroll for the agency, but I don't need Austin Aries. There's an entire
locker room back there that can do exactly what I need them to do. Nice chain wrestling displayed by
Austin Aries and Keith Cream. Trading wrist locks and now back to a side headlock.
If there is one man who's more talked about than anybody in the wrestling world right now, it is a double
Austin Aries. The man who just recently received praise from the guy known as Hulk Hogan himself. Reversal
hip toss. And Austin Aries.
showing why he is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world today. Looks like a show of respect on
the part of Keith Cream. Well, he always wants everyone to respect him.
Altrez here next to me seems to be, he's on his phone, he's snickering, he's laughing, and he's texting.
I'm not exactly sure what that means. Will Austin Aries want to play his games? I'm about to checkmate.
What do you mean? There he goes. James Altrez, cryptic word, says he's about to checkmate when it pertains
to Austin Aries. I don't know what he means, he just left the commentary booth.
Honestly, the smell has gotten a little bit better. I'll tell you that right now. And a incidental thumb
to the eye. Dream up and over, running for Marys. I think he went to the well once too often with that
one. Oh, not a back rake, but a chest rake.
Nice cartwheel evasion. Paintbrushed him. What did the five fingers say to the face? I don't know what.
Slap. Running back elbow. Quick snap there. Could be his trademark.
This is it. As we said before this match even began, this is one of the biggest challenges of Keith
Cream's career here. A slingshot double chop right to the back. And right now, Austin Aries showcasing
just why. You can see him every Thursday night on Spike TV on Impact Wrestling.
Little fan interaction going on. Oh! That fan just laid the boots to Keith Cream. Oh. And set.
Sling shot, Tope Atomico. Got that bottom rope just in time. Oh. A jumping face stretch.
Great to see Austin Aries back here in Infinity Pro. For those of you who don't know, the last time
Aries was here, he was victorious in a match against GT Vega. It was actually a 30-minute time limit
draw, if you'll remember correctly, followed by an impromptu extra five minutes, which did not happen
fully. It was more of a
of a stoppage by Austin Aries decided the GT Vega was not deserving of an extra five minutes of action.
You see that's why I keep you around. I knew there was a reason. Oh and a big double axe handle from
the top to the floor. Austin Aries showing some of his vintage offense
more boots from the fans. Keith cream has got to do something here. He's got to do something to try
and get momentum back in his favor. How about that? I like that. Using the ring to his advantage. That
is the mark of a veteran wrestler. Kick out at one.
and tried to have a conversation with Mr. Aries before the show tonight. You know what he told me? I
don't know who you are. Please get away from me. Yeah, he's a real social butterfly, that guy. Deserving
of the praise that he receives, though. He is one of the top wrestlers on the independent scene and
now on television every week. Every Thursday night on Spike TV.
And now we have him here in Infinity Pro. Going after the ribs of Austin Aries. Hard whip into the corner,
and Keith Cream is known for a martial arts-based style. Stiff kicks and submissions. Well, if Keith
Cream is smart, he would stay on top right now. He's going to have to do something. He can't let Aries get any
offense back in because once Aries starts going, he really starts going. Oh, and a throat thrust. Keep
in mind that one of Austin Aries main finishers is a brain buster. And with that weakened
brain that Keith Creme has from that prior concussion. You just know it. You know Aries is looking to
hit the brain buster at any point here. But if Keith Creme can slap on that buffalo sleeper that he
applied earlier in the night, that could be all she wrote for Austin Aries. A series of one-bounce.
It's going to take a little bit more to put down a wrestler the caliber of Aries. It's matches like
this, Johnny, that showcase why there is still wrestling in this great country. Back to that slingshot
counter. No matter what those boys up north want to tell you, wrestling is still alive and well in the
good old US of A, and you're witnessing it right now.
Sort of a dance move, I think. You can just see the perspiration fly off the chest of Keith Cream. A
rolling elbow. This could be it. Austin Aries getting fired up. Fans seem to be behind Aries here.
Up and over, straight to the apron. Shoulder block. Looks like he almost slipped off his back there.
Knee breaker. Oh, straight to a side slam. Angelam elbow, and that's one of his trademarks.
This is it. He's got, oh, and somehow he has the ability to kick out at two. Surprising with his weakened brain.
going for a cutthroat spun down into a backbreaker. Oh, and he's going. He's going for that Buffalo
sleeper. This could be it. This could be it. All series could be tapping out. One of the most feared
submission maneuvers. Oh, and look just how he gets out of it. That was close. That was very close in
Aries eyes. What's he setting up for now?
He's putting them in no man's land. Top rope. Things like this never end good. Never end well. Sure,
that either. Going for that face first maneuver he tried earlier. Oh, spinning kick. Wait, did you just
correct me? Grammatically, yes, I am a grammar Nazi.
Slingshot. Oh, nobody there. Smart on the part of Aries. Going up, coming down. Slingshot splash. Aries
now in control. Bring him back in. Tell you right now, he's got that second wind. You can see it in
his eyes. Gonna be that big missile drop kick. Oh, yes! He is feeling it.
Austin Aries able to gain the victory making him one step closer to ultimate glory here
the grand tournament champ.
before this match starts going. What is a shekel? I believe it's a form of currency over in Israel of
which Joseph Schwartz is used to, you know, give himself a weight.
can see the slapstick elements. I think both men tend to use a comedy-based style basically to get into
the heads of their opponents. That is very much the truth. They both use comedy styles to get into the
heads of their opponents. However, now we're going to find out what happens when comedy style matches
up against comedy style.
Referee getting involved here. Schwartz just took Sugar's headband. Oh, no, he didn't. I remember somebody
once saying, you do not soil the yarmulke.
You can hear Sugar saying, he's saying it's on now. After both men took turns, Rick flaring each other's
garments. Now it looks like we're going to have a test of strength. Gingerly at first. Joseph Schwartz
coming out on top here.
Sugar bridging so as not to have his shoulders pinned to the mat with that test of strength. That Greco-Rome
knuckle lock. Starting to reverse it. Out of these two men, Joseph Schwartz is a little bit bigger.
Does have a little more size advantage. Sugar now imploring Joseph Schwartz to abide by the rules.
think referee Jack Maverick knows what's going on right now. I think he's just there for the fun of
it. Very few pinfalls in this match so far. Very few wrestling maneuvers also. Quick reversal. Joseph
Schwartz on top.
stomping at the fingers. We said it before and we'll say it again, don't count Sugar Dunkerton out.
This man can pull moves out of places that I didn't even know there were places, all right?
to the Greco-Roman knuckle lock again. Every time the Hebrew hammer comes out on top. Uh-oh, going for
that patented hammer drop. And he hits it. Pin attempt. You know, he always looks so surprised, but
I've never seen him pin anyone with that maneuver.
Yes, but that doesn't mean you can't stop trying. That is true. Each time is a little bit more experienced.
Are we going for? Fans are calling for a dance off.
Only in Infinity Pro. I guess this is really happening. Sugar better be careful. It looks like one of
his boots is untied.
sure that's kosher. Dancing's fun and all, but remember, this is a wrestling match. This is the grand
tournament. Only one man can emerge victorious. Trading slaps.
Attempt. Kicks out at two. After a big right hand. Not sure all those shots from Sugar are legal, because
you're not supposed to have a closed fist. Sugar's starting to become a little bit more aggressive in
this match. Slapping on her chin lock. You know what I can't get over, Johnny?
I cannot get over the fact that we've seen some great action here tonight, and it's still incredibly
hot in this building. Yeah. Never a night off here at Infinity Pro. Everybody has to work hard. Double
axe handle.
Heber Hammer still has fight left inside him. Asking for some energy from the crowd. They're willing
to oblige. Remember fans, this is only Sugar Dunkerton's second ever match here in Infinity Pro.
First and second match have all taken place in the same night. Firing back with right hands. Oh, and
a thumb to the eye. Oh, and a spinning neck breaker right across the knee.
Referee checking on Sugar Duncan, making sure he's okay. Oh, he's going up. This usually ends badly.
Oh, Joseph Schwartz, not a natural high-plyer. Took a little too much time on that second rope. All
I've got to say is that if you're not used to it, if you don't do it on a regular basis, then why attempt it now?
little desperation showed on the part by Joseph Schwartz. He wants to win this tournament as much as
anyone else. Uh-oh. Going for that electric chair. This can't be good. See where he takes him. He's
got him up.
trying to find a way out of it. And he's down. Elevator drop. Two. Fantier starting to get into it.
This fantastic Bloomington crowd.
to the midsection. There's that lariat that he finished Isaiah with early. And that's it! I'm not sure
if that's a lariat or a running elbow smash to the face. Whatever it is, it's effective. I just think
it's something that hurts. Taking out two opponents so far with that maneuver.
And Sugar Dunkerton moves on. Oh, look at this. We saw this earlier after his defeat of Isaiah. Very
good show of respect. Show of respect and sportsmanship. You don't see this that much anymore. There
needs to be more of this.
makes Infinity Pro one of the best independent wrestling companies in the world. A tremendous show of
support and respect between all of the competitors, as well as the fans rallying behind good wrestling.
And we are one step closer to crowning the first ever Infinity Pro Grand Tournament Champion. I'm almost
shocked myself.
Like, ordinarily you hear the Sugar Dunkerton promos and I'm real braggadocious. You know, I got my
hair all picked out. I'm flaring up with excitement because I'm ready for the next thing. But I gotta
tell you, I feel like a man with a GPS that just quit on him. And I'm not sure where I'm at because
I've never been in a tournament where I've gone this far.
I've gotten through Schwartz, I've gotten through Isaiah, but now I'm going against one of the top prospects
here in Infinity, bro, Austin Mannix. Austin Mannix has done a few things, he's seen a few places. And
I'm not gonna lie, it's a few places that I wish I could've seen. But I can't worry about that right
now. Do I feel like I got a little twinge of power? Do I feel like maybe this is my opportunity to get
knocked out of the tournament? Yeah, I do. I fear it. I fear it the same way I feared that, when it broke.
Over two months ago, but let me tell you something, the same way things broke, they get put back together.
Seven screws, one plate, I'm here. I didn't come here on my debut night to get sent back 11 plus hours
with no trophy. So Manix, you need to ask yourself a question. For how good you say you are, for how
good people say you are, can you prove it in one match and get to the finals? Because let me tell you
something, you better be willing
everything you've got in your body if you wanna get to the finals past me. I want something I've never
had, and to get something I've never had, I'm gonna have to do something I've never done. And that's
put you down. No more games, no more jokes. If you want this, you're gonna have to take this. I'll see
you out there. Game time.
looking to make Mr. Belding proud here tonight by trying to walk away as the first ever grand tournament
champion. So is that saved by the bell reference or? Yes, I believe it is. Okay. Hey, speaking of the bell.
in this match. PJ is a hometown boy, born and raised right here in Bloomington. Scottie Young showing
why he is not appreciated by these fans, but he is one of the better wrestlers here in Infinity Pro,
showing that intensity that he's known for.
He's been involved in some classic matches here with the likes of Ryan Epic and GT Vega. And you know
that he wants this grand tournament championship, not only for the prestige that comes with it, but
also for the fact and the notoriety, go for Penn, the notoriety, the stamp of approval to showcase that
yes, he is as good as he says he is.
bump in pay doesn't hurt. Yes, that is pretty good. Uh-oh, picking him up for his finish. Could be that
fireman carry to a spine buster. Oh, slingshot on the ropes. Just like that, Scottie Young back in control.
This is our final second round tournament match. Whoever the winner is here will join the likes of Austin
Aries, Sugar Dunkerton, and Austin Mannix in the final four of the tournament. Oh, stepping on the hair of PJB.
the boot right over the face of PJB. Not to take away from this match, but Johnny, you've got this paper
sitting here right in front of you like I do. You see what's coming up next, right? If you're talking
about the street fight. Oh yes. Then I'm as excited as everyone else. That is coming up next, ladies
and gentlemen, the street fight that everyone's been talking about immediately following this final
second round tournament match. Call your friends, call your neighbors, call your high school sweetheart
and tell her to turn the channel on because she is definitely going to want to see this. Quick snap
there. Scottie Young's just been all offense here.
kick. What would you call that? Field goal kick. I'm shocked. Everything else always has a Japanese
name to it anymore. Actually, if you want to go there. I knew it. I knew it. A wrestler from Japan who
was once a professional soccer player actually uses that maneuver as his finishing
move and he calls it the penalty kick. Well, penalty kick, that's not really a Japanese name.
That is true. See, you set me up there and then you didn't deliver. I'm sure he actually calls it something
in Japanese, though. Scottie Young is just vicious here. You got to remember too, Scottie Young, he's
a fresh man here. This is actually his first match tonight. That is true. PJB has already competed once
tonight, so he's already had a lot of his energy spent.
And PJB had a rough match with Jacob. Absorbing a lot of punishment in that match earlier. PJB's firing
up though. Wait a second. Oh, he's that guy.
He'd be going for his big splash. Oh, there it is. This usually sets up his finishing maneuver. Big
splash that made waves. Oh, and a big back body drop. Up and over. You can see the pain on Scottie Young's
face right now. P.J. is feeling it. Going for that fish in the suplex with a cradle. Two. Oh, he barely
got out at two. Not quite a perfect flex.
He wasn't perfect, but it'll get by. Good for a two. Here he goes for that fireman carry again. Could
we be seeing? Not all she wrote yet. Good of Scott Young to find a way out of it. Oh, here we go. Here
he's going for the move. And the spine buster. Oh, look how smart it is. Scott Young immediately rolling
to the outside. Wisely rolling to the outside. That's almost veteran style thinking. I believe if BJ
could have hooked a leg,
Before Scottie Young started to roll to the outside, he would be the winner of this match right now.
Did Scottie Young buy himself enough time to recover from that's all she wrote? P.J.'s looking to hit
something here. He's in the corner. Another splash maybe? Oh, stiff kick to the jaw. P.J., I don't think
he knows where he is. That was great scouting on the part of Scottie Young. P.J.'s in trouble now.
Going for the rude awakening. A sit-out neck breaker. Part of me thinks he should have gone for the
pin right there, but... Scottie Young setting him up. Ouch! Big forearm drop right from the second rope.
Has he got it here?
These two are throwing everything they've got at each other. Oliver Tharp imploring Scott Young to get
off the top rope. Wait a minute. Oh, and PJ reverses. He rolled right through him. Oh, look at the strength. Oh, PJ.
for PJ to hit his finishing maneuver again, but then snagging the head on the way down, driving PJ's
head right into the canvas. Picks up the quick victory. And now, ladies and gentlemen, your final four
of the Grand Tournament looks like this. Scottie Young, Austin Mannix, Sugar Dunkerton, and A-Double himself
One of these four men will be the first ever Infinity Pro Grand Tournament champion. But you know what's
coming up before that. Oh yes, it's next baby. It's next. I'm telling you folks right now. Wait a second.
Scottie Young still in the ring.
injury. Where's the sportsmanship? Usually a lot of respect shown. Not here. We expected, we should
have expected this. I mean, it's Scottie Young. Driving him face first. Oh, PJ's out. PJ's hurt. Somebody
get Scottie out of the ring. The match is over and PJ is out. I'm not even sure he needed to expend
that extra energy.
hitting his finishing maneuver against PJB who is already just spent. Infinity pro officials now and
Donnie Tsunami in the ring checking on PJ. He is down and he is out. This is not good. PJ may actually
have a hurt neck. I really hope that Scottie Young is proud of himself for this. I really do.
Just ridiculous. I can see PJ is moving his arms so he's
He's safe as far as that goes, but he keeps pointing to his neck. Officials checking on him now, making
sure that everything is okay. Like we say all the time, don't try this at home, folks. These maneuvers
are real. No, don't try this at home, but what Scottie Young just did is the act of a coward. And it's
just ridiculous. PJ be able to walk out of here on his own two feet.
firmly behind PJB who will have to wait until next season to get another shot at the grand championship title.
So you might have to help me out here. Dude, I almost lost my voice in that match. Yeah. It was crazy.
But we got to regroup here because we have the last legs of the tournament. That we do. Sugar Dunkerton
in the ring right now awaiting his opponent. And if you can look on his face and from comments I heard
it made earlier tonight,
Sugar Dunkerton is ready. He knows he's just one step away from doing what no one thought possible.
And in order to get to where he needs to be, he's got to go through this man, Austin Mannix. Austin
Mannix earning his shot here
in the final four when he defeated Russ Jones earlier tonight. And a shocking upset. I still can't believe
that happened. Here's he first.
As I said, one of these two men will be competing in the tournament finals for the right to be called
Grand Tournament Champion. Looks like Austin Mannix is still favoring that shoulder.
applying a side headlock with that injured arm. Oh, see how easily Sugar was able to break that side
headlock? That shows that arm is not 100% right now. Yes, and that arm was injured earlier tonight at
the hands of Russ Jones. How could you not get injured wrestling Russ Jones? Very true, very true. He
is the destroyer of worlds. Nice cartwheel counter to the wrist lock by Sugar Dunkerton.
Sugar Dunkerton, you can see, is taking this a little more seriously than earlier when he faced off
against Joseph Schwartz. That's right. Quick drop toe hold right into a front face lock. He's showing
his wrestling ability in this match. And remember, this is his first night in Infinity Pro, Sugar Dunkerton's
first night in, and his third ever match in this company. He's adjusting very well to the
The quick pace. Oh yes, I'd say that. This is very impressive for a man like Sugar Dunkerton. Austin
Mannix has no push over. He's been in Infinity Pro for a while now, showcasing his tremendous athletic ability.
Yeah, I had a match with Austin Mannix and Tommy Tresnik at one of the early Infinity Pro Shows. And
let me tell you, Austin Mannix, that man's no slouch. Takes a shoulder block right there, right to that
injured shoulder. Having to take some time on the outside right now. I'm not sure this is wise for Austin
Mannix. He may actually have an injury.
It may be unwise for him to continue. But you gotta remember, just like yourself, these are professional
wrestlers. They deal with injuries on a daily basis.
Finally attending to the boot laces, which I commented on earlier in the night. Oh, interesting. Rear
waist lock counter dropping down almost into the splits to do that go behind. Going for that reverse
wrist lock.
over that arm. This knee drop right to the arm. Firing back with that good right arm. I just want to
go ahead real quick and divorce court. I want to go ahead and point out my great admiration for
Sugar Dunkerton's afro. That is a nice afro. That is a masterful job. Well done you, sir. Only missing
the pick. Oh, whipping him off for that calf kick with his right arm. Normally employing his left arm
to throw the Irish whip. I think he's unable to even whip a guy into the ropes.
Wait a minute, Johnny, do you feel that? It's actually starting to cool down finally. Oh yeah, it's
down to like 90. Yes, 90, 91. This is amazing. It's refreshing really. Sugar Dunkerton normally utilizes
a quick pace in his matches.
But you can see right now he's already competed twice here tonight in the brutal heat that we've had
in this building. So you can really understand why he's decided to slow things down here and lock on
submission. Wisely slowing things down and applying a Fujiwara arm bar right in the center of the ring,
too. I see no problem with this strategy. Fujiwara. Quick roll up. Only a two count. Oh, headbutt right
to the gut.
Yoshiaki Fujiwara, yeah, famously known for creating that reverse arm bar and just being an all-around
meme-spirited person in the ring. He also produces good apples. Fuji apples. I believe that credit must
go to our good friend Tsunami Brown.
to be on a count of seven. They've got to the count of 10 to get back in the ring, otherwise both men
will be counted out. Manic's starting to fire back. Crowd's getting behind him. Nice snap there.
Liding clothesline. Only two can. Oh, Sugar now applying a double chicken wing. Oh, lays back and applies
the body scissors.
This is a rarely seen submission maneuver. Sugar just has to worry about his shoulder blades being down
on the mat. The referee may count him. But he's applying a lot of pressure to the front of that injured
shoulder. But he got that bottom rope. He has to break the hold. So tell me something, Mr. Tsunami.
How come you weren't chosen to compete in this year's tournament?
I'm actually not eligible to compete in the grand championship tournament because in infinity pro every
wrestler has the option of choosing two of our three divisions. Austin Manix starting to fire back.
We have the duo's division, the arrow division, and the grand division. And of course being a tag team
specialist,
Oh, nice back elbow in the corner. I chose to enter into the duo's division as well as the arrow's division,
which is known more for the technical and high-flying style of wrestling, which I'm actually known for.
Very nice pin attempt. Austin Mann is starting to find some energy now. Could there be an announcer's
division? I don't know.
Cuz I got a few things I'd like to share with Chris Nunn. I'm just putting it out there. Live your dream.
Austin Mannix. There's his finisher. He caught several men. But the smartness of Austin Mannix to roll
right out of the ring. I believe he picked up that trick from Scotty Young earlier in the night.
That he did, that he did.
That's a good man. That's a good technique. Good technique to follow. Speaking of Scottie Young, we're
going to see him coming up next. All right. I am all right with this. I'm not really sure. I want to
see him remembering what he did earlier tonight to PJB, but hopefully he'll get his. I mean, Scottie
Young's not a nice guy in the ring. I have also had matches with Scottie Young and he is a dirty player,
but I just enjoy watching good wrestling.
And I have to admit, he's a good ref. Referee on the count of eight. Austin Mannix may just want to
hang out on the outside and let himself be counted out. There's nine. Oh, he just barely gets back in
the ring in enough time. And the match continues. Crowd getting behind Austin Mannix. Can I just go
ahead and take a moment to say how wonderful Bloomington has been tonight? The National Guard armor
here in Bloomington, Indiana.
Just a fantastic crowd. If you guys ever get an opportunity to come to an Infinity Pro event, make it
September 29th for the beginning of season three, you want to be here at the National Guard Armory in
Bloomington to see all of this action and all these superstars up close and personal. Ends a gurry counter,
and then a running shoulder that's a palm strike. You're right, Johnstone. There really is no substitute for just
seeing an Infinity Pro event live. It's one thing to watch all the action on DVD, but it's something
completely different. Oh, to see a big superplex like that done live, it is something to experience.
You're gonna see tons of moves like that as this match progresses because these both men know.
In a tent. Both these men know.
This is their last opportunity to get to that championship. Their last opportunity to be named Grand
Tournament winner. You'll notice that Austin Mannix kicked out with his right arm. I'm not sure he even
has the strength to lift that left arm up anymore. Wait a second. He's using that arm there. Back slide,
too. Oh, quick two count. Watch him. Dunkerton fighting out of it. Oh, counter going for that Fujiwara again.
Very smart, looking for the submission of Vettigarri here. That's right. Austin Mannix was about to
go for that TKO finisher of his. Sugar Duncan just screaming for Mannix to tap. Austin Mannix firing
back. Fireman's carry. TKO right on that injured shoulder though. If he could just get the pinfall here,
he may have his shot at victory.
Oh, rolling him up with the right arm. Foot is on the ropes. Very good ring awareness by Sugar Dunkerton.
Only a two count. And just remember here, Johnny, whoever wins this match still has to compete again
in just a little bit. These tournament style matches are brutal.
but I tell you what, it's what Infinity Pro is known for. Watch out. May have been going for that swinging
reverse STO. Oh, quick, small package. Look! Variation! Only a two count. Oh, a spare! Cuts him in half!
Two. Three.
And would you believe, with an injured arm and all, Austin Mannix is going to the finals. Wow. I can't
believe he survived that match with that hurt of an arm. And like I say, Johnstone, I have wrestled
Austin Mannix before. That spear literally takes you out for at least a seven count. All he has to use
is three seconds. And it's a real true finish.
After three matches, Sugar Dunkerton's debut night in Infinity Pro comes to a close. Words in the middle
of the ring. Sugar Dunkerton imploring Austin Mannix to win the entire tournament. Very fantastic show
of respect between these two men.
And even though he didn't come out the victor, you've got to respect Sugar Dunkerton. His debut night
here in Infinity Pro, and he had three different matches against three different styles of opponent.
That's right. Two victories on an Infinity Pro card, that's a big deal. Sugar Dunkerton will be back.
Take me to the limit. You better win, kid. It's not gonna be a problem at all.
Hey, Mike, let me call you back. Sugar Dunkerton, man. Aren't you the guy that blows up my Twitter with
all the negativity stuff, negativity? This is an honor for me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mr.
James I. Trance. I'm the president of town relations for the agency. Cool, what's up? I follow you.
I know you. And I've seen what you can do.
And tonight, tonight was phenomenal. I mean, honestly, I can't wait for the next show. I cannot wait
to see what you have up here next time. So hey, good tournament. It's a shame you came up short. But
you know what? We'll see you next show, right? That's nice. I think it went really well, too. But I
heard that from the office. I don't know if I'll have a man. Whoa.
Let me get this straight. You got second runner up in this tournament. You wrestled some serious matches
tonight. You entertained these fans like they haven't been entertained in this building yet. And you
still haven't heard from management on coming back. That's what I told you. Well, fans want you back.
Boys in that locker room want you back. And more importantly, I want you back. Because when I see you,
I see a star. I see the star that you deserve to be. And right here is a place you can do it. So look,
I've got a plane to catch, but this is what we're going to do. Here's my card. If you haven't heard
anything from management yet, hit me up. Because here's what's going to happen. They may not say you're
going to be on the show yet, but I'm going to guarantee that you're on our next show. Just think about
it. Hit me up.
You are. You know the putter hand.
What are the chances of for Scottie Young to make it to the finals? I think Scottie Young always has
a good chance of defeating his opponent, because he is not only an impressive athlete, he is crap.
Oh my. I think Scottie Young is gonna be
Oh, yeah, in this match. I just realized who he's facing right now. It's gonna be a long night. And
here comes the self-proclaimed greatest man who ever lived, Austin Aries.
ready to compete in his second match tonight. And I've got to ask you this. How big of a week do you
think it would be for Austin Aries if in the span of one week, he not only wins the Infinity Pro Grand
Tournament, but he also takes home the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Unbelievable. It would be
the biggest thing to happen in his career thus far.
In the Grand Tournament, we are going to the finals to face Austin Banks. This time to have a 20-minute
battle. Hero 3, Miss Jack.
put himself over. And here we go, ladies and gentlemen, one of these two men will advance to face off
against Austin Mannix in the finals of the tournament. Could it possibly be the Battle of the Austin's?
There is a definite possibility if somehow Aries is able to achieve victory here. Almost a 50-50 chance,
you might say.
See, this is what I was talking about. Scotty Young already using mind games, trying to get into the
head of Aries. Aries is no slouch in the mind game department though. It takes a lot though to get into
the mind of Austin Aries. We're talking about a man who just was granted the approval from Hulk Hogan
a few weeks ago on Impact. Yeah, he's definitely
He's a veteran of the sport already and he's still on his way up. Scottie Young now just paint brushing
the back of the greatest man who ever lived. Maybe not the brightest of ideas. Nice pick up and a drop down.
as wrestling circles around Scottie Young. Scottie Young, of course, coming from Bayside High. He's
known for that impressive amateur background that he has. But it looks like Austin Aries just showed
him up down on the mat. You know, I think I found out just why Scottie Young has such an attitude. I
heard someone tell me one time that he's still upset he wasn't able to be as popular as Zach Morris. Yeah.
Yeah, that's gotta be rough. Working over the arm. Quick knee drops. Right to the biceps muscle.
Fitting over right to a cross face. Very nice, smooth, fluid movement. Scottie Young wisely getting
to the ropes, because that's a legitimate finishing hold. Oh, and now he's got his nose. Got your nose.
That's adorable and also effective, it looks like. Very true, very true. Referee Jack Maddrick checking
on Scottie Young.
Making sure his nose is still there. Oh, switching straight to a hammer lock. Nicely done by Austin
Aries. Straight to a side headlock. There's a reason why Austin Aries is the longest reigning X Division
champion in the history of TNA. And he's showing you that right now. Nice top wrist lock take down.
Bridges up to avoid the pinfall. Scottie Young just applying the pressure to the top wrist lock. Oh,
and there's the counter straight into an arm bar. A flying head scissors, rarely seen maneuver.
This is very nice technical wrestling actually happening here. Completely different than what we saw
earlier tonight. I guess you can just say that in Infinity Pro, it's the land of everything. It's a
good representation of most styles of professional wrestling.
Now going for a double wrist lock. Transitioning to an arm wringer. And now a wrist lock. Quick kip
up. Right to a front face lock. Very nice. Face lock takeover. Transitions right into an arm bar.
This is some really impressive chain wrestling we're seeing right now. All right, I've got to ask you,
Jimmy, I've got to put you on the spot right now. Go on. Out of these two men, who do you think should
be the one to advance and face against Austin Manix? Honestly, I mean, you know, that's so difficult
because obviously you want to see Austin Aries wrestle as many times as you can. But I'll be honest.
You were talking about Sugar Dunkerton. Nice reversal into the side headlock takeover. You were talking
about Sugar Dunkerton being impressive because this is his first time being an Infinity Pro. Scottie
Young has been on most of the Infinity Pro shows. He knows this style and this crowd, this venue,
this ring. He knows this ring better than almost anyone. I'm going to have to give it to Scottie Young.
Uh-oh. And I think Austin Aries just gave it to him too.
Two feet right to the face. Again proving why Austin Aries belongs in Infinity Pro. Nicely done. Escaping
straight to the outside. Putting a stop to the offense. Nice back break. A double follows him right
to the outside. Uh oh. And a chest break.
Overhand chop. You know, I'm pretty sure that if he has a handprint there later, he might be able to
get an autograph for Mary's. Oh, look at this. A seated rear chinlock. Those guys are lucky. Oh, again,
using the boots of the fans. Normally those are expensive seats.
Following him back in. Oh, runs right into a knee. Just suckered Aries right back into it. Quickly takes
over on the offense. Look at the scratch marks down the back of Scottie Young. When he turns around,
you'll be able to see. Austin Aries doesn't play around with those raking maneuvers. And speaking of
Scottie Young being out here, I do want to go ahead and say we do not yet have an update on the condition
of that guy, PJB.
but pay attention to Facebook. You can find Infinity Pro on Facebook or find us on Twitter at realinfinitypro
where we'll give you all the information on the condition of PJB. Speaking of checking on the condition,
I got word that the trainers are actually looking at Austin Mannix's shoulder in the back and I haven't
heard any updates.
So, it's yet to be determined what exactly the trainers think is wrong with the shoulder. Of course,
Austin Mandick's a competitor that he is going for. He's not going to want to stop, but like I'm saying,
you've got to take care of your body in this business. Scottie Young still on top of Austin Aries here.
One of these men will advance to the tournament finals later on tonight. Swearing down areas in the
corner. Resorting to devious tactics, choking him in the corner. Reminding the referee that he has still
five. Stiff forearms.
Very smart of Scottie Young to get that boot right up. Straight to a one count. Now just choking him
blatantly in front of the ref. He's got to watch that. He has still a count of five, otherwise there'll
be a disqualification. Now just raking at the face.
Aries firing back from his knees. Straight to that lower back and pulling him down by his hair. I believe
Austin Aries may be experiencing a little more of a fight than he expected. Uh-oh. Could he be going
for Aries' own pendulum elbow?
one of the ultimate forms of disrespect, but Aries was able to roll out of the way, had it well scouted.
Those are some of the stiffest forearms I've heard all night. Aries is going to work here. Uh-oh. Standing STO.
He may be feeling Brain Buster time. Very nice. Irish whip countered into that Russian leg sweep and
only two. I've been on the receiving end of that move and let me tell you, it hurts. Scott Young on
that second rope. Nobody home.
landing. Misses the forearm drop this time. Oh, and a stomach chop. Those are rarely seen because it's
a really mean thing to do. Over the top catches himself on the apron.
Shoulder block to the gut. Right to an O'Connor roll. Oh, a big counter. Oh, fall into the outside.
A neck breaker right on the second rope. Fans getting back into it now. Watch out. Austin Aries may
be flying with this heat seeker. There it is! Straight through the bottom and middle rope. A human torpedo.
You almost never see Austin Aries miss that maneuver. Referee Jack Laver getting these men back in the ring.
Here we go. Austin Aries going to the top. Could he be thinking that missile drop kick again? And indeed.
Right on target. Aries has got his second win. I'm thinking drop kick. Oh. You thought correctly. Wait
a second. Hey, James Altraz. That's Altraz. What is he doing? What is he doing?
He's still upset, still upset over the words that Austin Aries said to him earlier tonight. I'm not
sure this is the best idea. Just tossing that briefcase. Referee Jack Maverick ministering the 10 count.
Austin Aries has chased James Altrez all the way to the back. James Altrez, no reason to be out here.
They just ran straight to the back, and I'm sure Altraz ran straight for the back door. Is this what
he was talking about earlier when he said Austin Aries was about to get checkmated? Oh, Aries had better
get back to the ring. He's got to get back to the ring. There it is. Austin Aries was unable to make
it back in time before the 10 count. He slid in right at the 10 count. Can't they give him a little leeway?
Austin Aries unable to enter the 10th count and therefore that means tonight in your tournament championship
match you will witness Scotty Young versus Austin Mannix. And Scotty Young he didn't even have to absorb
any of Austin Aries' finishing maneuvers. He's relatively fresh right now. Austin Aries thrown off of
his game by the appearance of James Altraz who's still upset over getting reamed out earlier
in front of this live audience. Let's hear what Aries has to say.
face off against whoever wins the Grand Tournament? Did I just hear that correctly? I think you did.
My goodness, only in Infinity Pro, ladies and gentlemen. The following contest is a duels contest,
That's one. Team member has been pinned. They must leave the ring. Last team standing. They're going
to sing first. Well, if it were willing to be number one, then I'd not do that, please. If it were willing
to be number one, then I'd not do that, please. If it were willing to be number one, then I'd not do
that, please. If it were willing to be number one, then I'd not do that, please. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.
You.
Elimination rules. Once your partner is pinned, you are left standing to fight for your team.
Double flapjack. Remy Wilkins and Trevor Court, the alpha breed, making their debut here tonight in
Infinity Pro Wrestling. Jumping knee in the corner. And what a team they have to debut against. They
are your duo's tournament champions. The painkillers, Jacob and Donnie Hollow.
These guys are no pushovers. That's right. I'm not very familiar with the alpha breed, but so far they
look impressive. Dumping the painkillers out to the outside. It's very rare you see both painkillers
down on the outside. Oh, and a jumping knee strike.
Oh my goodness. Now moonsault off of the partner. Very nice double team move showcasing why they won
the duo's tourney. Oh, and a double knee. And Trevor Court answers back. Some interesting offense seen
in this match so far. I think this is going to be a good one.
Going for a pin attempt. Just a tossing suplex. Stiff kick to the chest. Jacob Hollows is experiencing
pain right now on behalf of Trevor Court. Quick tag.
their takeover and laying those kicks in. Pin attempt. Nice height on that leg drop. I kind of like
this team, the Alpha Breed. I think they'll be a good addition to the Infinity Pro roster. I'm seeing
possible future opponents.
Nice quick tags on the part of Alpha Breed. Trevor Court, now the legal man. Drop down to a drop kick.
Nice distraction maneuver. Only a two count. You can see there at ringside, Donnie is just itching to
get in there.
Looking for the tag, but was cut off. Belly to back suplex. Stops any thought of getting that tag. Dolly
Hollows, he's an excitable guy anyway. And he is just all fired up about getting his tag. I gotta tell
you, the Alpha Breed, they're wrestling a smart match here. They're wrestling smart.
Jacob away from his partner. Isolate him in their corner and work him over. Don't even let Donnie in
the match. Oh, slingshot to almost a headbutt it looked like. Crowd's starting to get behind Jacob Hollows.
trying to get him back up to his feet. These guys, the painkillers, where exactly do they come from?
I mean, I've never really found out. Arkham Asylum is where they're built from. I'm thinking that's
probably parts unknown. Arkham Asylum, so they're just out right now on a case-by-case basis or a sabbatical,
I believe you call it. Quick tag to Trevor.
Double team moves there on the part of Alphabrie. That's smart right there. Take a quick shot to Donnie.
Get him in there. Get the referee distracted. Jacob is starting to fire back in the corner.
very far, folks, because directly after this match, coming up next, we will bring you our main event.
It's the Grand Tournament Championship match between Scottie Young and Austin Mannix, immediately following
this match. Lifting backbreaker. And a huge back body drop. This could be it. This could be the opening
he needs to make the tag to his partner. He just has to sprint. There it is. Between those two members.
Very agile.
Face kick. Sends him into his partner. This isn't good. Oh! Running face kick. Oh, and a running knee
strike to the face.
Very innovative drop kick. This is going to be it. We knew whenever Donnie Hollows got in the ring,
it's going to be all excitement. Oh, he wiped out there. Smart on the part of Trevor Court.
Look at that. Nice. Oh, my goodness. Slingshot ace crusher right into the apron. Oh, I think Donnie
Hollows may have a broken neck.
Bro, that's Jacob Hollows. Yes, that's Jacob Hollows on the outside now. Watch out. Donnie's all on
his own. Sitting. Donnie has no partner. This has got to be it. Remember, fans, this match is not over
with one pinfall. Both members of a team have to be pinned in order for the match to end. That is right.
In Infinity Pro, we want to show who the true best tag team is. Body scissors. Pick up.
What a combination move. And Jake Apollo, somehow he's walking. Somehow, he is back up on his feet.
Very last second. Toss him over the top rope. Tilt-a-whirl. Tilt-a-whirl to a gut buster. Kick out.
Kick out, but watch out for Johnny! Oh, and a 450 split!
Broken up by Remy. Oh, he was just seconds away. This match continues. Beautiful 450 splash. No elimination
so far. All four men still in the match. Jake Apollo's calling for it. Watch out. There's two members
of Alpha Breed and one member of the Painkillers. Nice back flip counter.
So a lung blower, Taliban backpack, if you will. Fantastic debut night here for the new wrestlers on
the Infinity Pro roster. I mean, Sugar Dunkerton, now the alpha breed. Into the corner.
He caught a little bit of that drop kick. Uh-oh. Electric chair. Oh, this isn't going to be good. Doomsday
device? No way.
Picks him up, this is their move. Whoa, there it is. Good night. Showing why they are the duo's champions
right now. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Infinity Pro equals infinite innovation.
That was a variation of their finishing maneuver. I've never seen them hit. That double stomp to a face
crusher. Also, I've been on the receiving end of, not pleasant. There are your duo's tournament champions,
the painkillers, Jacob and Donnie Hollow, ladies and gentlemen. Skittles! He has Skittles.
impressive tag team match. But those boys ain't right. Coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, it's our
main event. It's the Grand Tournament Championship match between Scottie Young and Austin Mannix. I
hate to sound like a broken record, but
I really don't like Austin Mannix's chances in this match. Well, he still has that injured arm. He's
competed in two matches tonight. Two hard matches. Two hard matches. He has an injured shoulder, an
injured arm. He's going into this like a dog that's wearing a cast on one leg. What about, like, the
little funnel-shaped, like, collar thing? Is it kind of like he's wearing one of those? Kind of like
that, yes, but only if the funnel was on his leg.
like a scratch of the stitches and whatnot. They try to make sure he doesn't do that. I think it's really
annoying for the dog. There's the trophy in the ring. You see it. The winner of this main event will
be receiving that trophy and be named the Infinity Pro Grand Tournament Champion, the first ever Grand
Tournament Champion. I wonder how much that trophy is worth. Looks expensive. It does. It looks fantastic.
Basically made out of solid gold.
This is the third time we're seeing Scottie Young tonight. He made it to this match by earning victories
over that guy, PJ B, and earning a countout victory over Austin Aries, which is still argued by a lot
of people here tonight. But he earned the countout victory, and now he has his shot at becoming grand champion.
Well, wait a second.
That's what Scott Young was getting at. He must have got word that the trainers weren't going to let
Austin Manish compete. Austin Manish has got something to say. Let's listen.
Championship match. Scotty Young spoke too soon. Austin Mannix defying doctor's orders. He's going into
this match. Again, Austin Mannix hit that spear with that injured shoulder. That arm was injured earlier
tonight when he first faced off against Big Russ Jones, the destroyer of worlds. And the injury was
further later on when he faced off against Sugar Dunkerton.
And right now, this is his opportunity at ultimate glory here in Infinity Pro. Scottie Young tossing
Mannix back into the ring. Neither man is what you would call fresh at this point. Both men have competed
in two matches apiece just to get here.
Scott Young, he's got his sights set on that injured arm. And I mean, this is a big disadvantage for
Austin Mannix right now. Well, Scott Young is like a shark that's in the water and smells blood. It's
smart of him to go after that arm. Very smart. Austin Mannix just saying no, he will not quit. Oh, a
code breaker right to the arm.
I just hope that by the end of this match, Austin Mannix doesn't regret this decision and doesn't further
that injury to a serious proportion. I mean, for all we know, he may already need surgery on that arm.
If the trainers didn't clear him, there's a good reason for that. Going after the arm and running the
forearm right across the face. Scottie Young, we'll say, has very little sympathy for Austin Mannix
in his condition.
Well, let's face it, Scottie Young has very little sympathy for anybody in any condition. Break into
the eyes. Going straight after that arm. That arm bar. Yeah, yeah.
Scottie Young showcasing his egotistical arrogance. Oh, nice counter. Sky high, sit out, short arm powerbomb.
Yeah, but was that all that he had in the tank?
starting to rally behind Austin Mannix. Forearms on the knees. Series of forearms. Austin Mannix still
showing he does have one good arm left.
This has just been a fantastic night to be capped off here by Scottie Young versus Austin Mannix for
the Grand Tournament Championship. Man, I'm beat. Just imagine what it's like for both of those men
in the ring right now. All that heat. Oh, just a kick right to the face. We got a winner here. Oh, Scottie
Young belongs in Infinity Pro. You can tell because of the face kick. Oh, going for a cross arm breaker.
Juji Katami arm bar. Ooh, just cranking on that arm. If that injury, if that injury is in the elbow
joint, that maneuver is designed to dislocate the elbow. Oh, look at the power of Austin Manich. The
strength with that injured arm.
Lance here starting to get back into it. Nice kick to the face. Oh, could he be going for that TKO?
This could be it. Oh, there it is. Lance face first. But he didn't go straight for the pinfall. He still
had a few seconds in between.
Austin Manix! Out of nowhere. After three victories, injured arm and everything, Austin Manix is the
first ever Infinity Pro.
for a man like Austin Mannix to fight through all the injury tonight in that injured shoulder. To compete
in three matches and walk away with the trophy. The first ever grand tournament champion. And the locker
room is starting to fill out. The Infinity Pro roster making their way out to ringside in celebration
of the first ever
grand tournament champion, Austin Mannix. There you see Sugar Dunkerton, Joseph Schwartz, Adam Bueller,
the painkillers, Austin Aries, Isaiah Jake Omen, Jack Thriller, Russ Jones, Keith Cream. The locker
room is just filling out in support of Austin Mannix.
A lot of respect shown right now. They understand what a physical feat it was for Austin Mannix to go
all the way and become the first ever Grand Tournament champion. And Scottie Young just starting to
get his bearings on the outside, just starting to realize what's going on, realizing he has lost this
match. Let me tell you, that fireman carry ace crusher, that move could put you out. Completely unconscious.
Thank you.
podcast colleague, Mr. Johnny Tsunami. We want to thank you guys for taking time out to watch this with
us, to be with us. Thank you very much for joining us for the first ever grand tournament. We hope to
see you here September 29th for the start of season three.
That title was mine. That title, that title was mine. Damn it, damn it. Do you know who I am? Hey, do
you know who you call you back? Who the hell are you? Scotty Donnelly. Do you recognize me? I'm the
Nationalist for the French James Altruists. President of the Italian Relations for the Agency.
You know what? You're right. You should have won this tournament. I mean, think about it. You took out
PJB. You took out that guy. You beat Austin Aries. And then here comes Austin Manix. It wasn't clear
to Russell. Doctor said he shouldn't even have been through that curve. And yet there he goes, and he
takes your glory. That championship belt should be around your waist right now. Yeah, tell me something
I already know.
You see, here's the thing with that. If anything, you deserve a rematch. No, no. You deserve the first
rematch. Damn right I do. And I'm the guy that can make that happen. Here's my card. You get a hold
of me, we'll talk business. Take care, champ.
