MCW Arena
To start the night, Drew Adler attempted to use his tremendous height advantage over Kekoa Mana, pummeling Kekoa from the bell. But in the end, the agility and speed of Kekoa led to a pinfall victory over Adler.
In a display of strength, Army veteran and former University of Maryland football star Tehuti Miles and Dirty Money squared off in an impressive display of strength. As the veteran Dirty Money seemed to have the advantage, Miles connected with a spinning back kick to take down Money for the 1-2-3.
As The Hell Cats (Sexy Steve and Jimmy Starz) attempted to use dirty tactics and manipulate their way into a victory, the combined power of Bishop Khan and Malcolm Moses was able to take down The Hell Cats.
#1 contendership for the MCW Womens Title, Rosa Mendes defeated Robyn Reid. After the match, MCW Women's champion Brittany Blake made her presence known, walking to the ring, but didn't attempt Mendes' handshake.
For the MCW Tag Team Title Match, champions The Cartel (Dante Caballero, Joe Keys) were joined by Diego Cruz and their personal bartender, The Bull, to face former champions Robby and Bobby w/ Summer Rae. When the bell rung, General Manager Phil Stamper changed the match to a one-fall to have a decisive winner and since The Cartel, and their numbers, would often find victory through some kind of shenanigans, GM Stamper introduced special guest enforcer, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry!
As Robby and Bobby went to finish off The Cartel, Cruz and Bull jumped on the ring apron, but were stopped by Mark Henry. With the referee distracted, Dante attempted to use a title belt to hit Robby and Bobby from behind, until slapped by Summer Rae. Robby and Bobby then took down Dante together to gain a victory and become the NEW MCW Tag team champions!
Before the MCW Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Title Match, ring announcer Danny Mays announced MCW owner Dan McDevitt (aka Corporal Punishment) had made the match a Joppa Street Fight. After a brawl around the arena, champion Bruiser retained over Christian York by tapping out York.
Corporal Punishment then addressed the crowd, saying that Bruiser was a stooge and now he was going to take a student and give them an opportunity. He called out ring attendant Ryan to take on Bruiser. Bruiser asked the crowd who they wanted to see him take on - Ryan or Dan McDevitt?
But, from under the ring, Dante Caballero sprayed Bruiser in the eyes with some kind of aerosol. Dan then announced Bruiser's real opponent was Dante Caballero. Caballero rushed the ring, but Bruiser fought him off initially. But Dante was able to connect with The Rainmaker lariat and pin Bruiser to become the NEW MCW Pro Wrestling Heavyweight champion!
After number proved too much on Friday night, Greg Excellent and Momma Excellent teamed to defeat MCW Rage TV champion King Ryan McBride and Andy Vineberg.
In a tremendously hard fought three-way, Joe Gacy defeated fellow former Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup qualifiers James Drake and Rayo.
From the start of the match, Ken Dixon and Drolix challenged each other, each trying to overpower the other, going hold-for-hold. In the end, after each dishing out tremendous punishment to the other, it was Ken Dixon with a roll-up, and a hand full of tights, to gain the pinfall victory over Drolix.
For the Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup finals, Larry Kennedy Phillips was introduced as special guest ring announcer. As the match started, each man displayed their prowess and how far they were willing to go to be named the winner of Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup XVIII!
