From Jeremy "The Impact" York:

Premier All-Star’s “Surge” event kicked off from their “homebase” of the Callaway Livestock Pavillion in Buchanan with a BANG and the hits just kept coming all night long! (Editor's note: attendance reported to be around 180)

Ring Announcer/General Manager—Jason Boyd Officials: Stan Robinson, Al Berry, Butterbean

Match 1: AJ Black Vs. Mad Man Mayson (Match Not Sanctioned By PASW)—This one started before Jason Boyd could even get all the welcoming and early announcements out! AJ comes out and demands the microphone to say to Mayson he is ready for this NOW! You do not have to invite Mad Man to a fight so he happily charges out and our opening contest is under way! AJ gets some good shots in on Mayson then it’s the big man’s turn to beat down his foe. Unleashing thundering blows to the back of Black, Mad Man is in control on the outside of the ring. He hoists up AJ for a shattering suplex on the floor. Finally in the ring, Mad Man sends AJ into the corner while following up with side hip splash. AJ falls across the second rope afterwards and Mayson builds up speed off the ropes for a flying back elbow to the back of Black’s neck. When Mad Man puts Black in an excruciating submission, it’s fan-favorite the “Southern Outlaw” Sean Nelson who approaches the ring. He looks at his friend AJ in distress and chucks a white towel into the ring. When the referee sees it and looks at him, he motions to Black and the official calls for the bell! This only seems to enrage Mayson. As AJ slowly gets to his feet, Mad Man charges at him with a lariat to take him off his feet once more. 

Winner: Mad Man Mayson via referee stoppage 

Match 2: Ayden Andrews Vs. Justin McKenzie—A highly anticipated match up pitting two fairly newcomers to Premier both looking to get their first win in the company. We start off with a headlock from McKenzie with Andrews trying to back suplex him to break the hold. Justin hangs on though preventing the hold from being broken. Finally, it’s McKenzie who takes Andrews over to the ground, keeping his grip tight on the cranium of his opponent. Once Ayden does break free he is met with multiple arm drags that send him scrambling to the outside. Justin wastes no time in following him out via a tope’ suicida! He slides back in the ring to deliver a second dive only to be met by a jumping kick from Andrews. Back outside AA throws Justin powerbomb style into the ring post back first. McKenzie tries to battle back, but it’s Ayden with some knife-edge chops then he stifles McKenzie with a forearm smash. Ayden goes for an Attitude Adjuster, Justin counters with a step-up enziguri. Andrews sends McKenzie hard into the buckle, followed by a powerbomb. Then AA gets ran into the buckle hard by Justin who then slides to the apron. It’s up and over for JM grabbing AA for the DDT on the way into the ring! He yells out “Sliced Bread” while grabbing Ayden to set it up. He drags Andres towards the corner while running up the turnbuckles for the Sliced Bread #2 maneuver, but Ayden rolls through and gets the pin instead! 

Winner: Ayden Andrews via pinfall 

Match 3: Michael Stevens Vs. Ashton Martin—Wristlock from Stevens to begin the contest. Ashton reverses it only to have Stevens try to get an errant eye lash out from the retina of Ashton. Then a foot stomp from Michael. Martin gathers himself and drops Stevens with a shoulder tackle then takes him on a tour of the buckles to smash Michael’s face into each one to the delight of the crowd. Ashton gets a one count on Stevens. Stevens finds his bearings and takes over control of the match. He crosses Martin’s arms across his chest for a submission attempt. Martin recovers then attempts a splash in the corner that misses, two count for Stevens. Michael with a picture-perfect knee drop. Martin again regains his feet, executes a handful of clotheslines to Stevens then a splash in the corner while finishing the flurry of moves with a blue thunder bomb for a two and a half count. As they get back up Martin tries a roll up for another two count. Stevens runs at Ashton who is leaned on the ropes but rolls away at the last second sending Stevens into the ropes in a not so great way. As Michael rolls off the ropes, Martin leaps from the top with a frog splash for the 1-2-3. 

Winner: Ashton Martin via pinfall. 

Match 4: Alexander Lev Vs. Jacob Ashworth (c—Georgia Heritage Championship)—Two popular juggernauts squaring off for the Georgia Heritage Title! They shake hands and the action commences as it’s Ashworth with the quick wristlock that leads to a shoulder tackle from Jacob. Lev answers with a jumping shoulder tackle of his own. Ashworth with another headlock then shoulder tackle. Lev catches Jacob with a devastating backbreaker then a suplex. Ten punches while mounted in the corner for Lev, Jacob recovers with a clothesline in the corner on Alexander. Lev gets a clothesline on Jacob in return. Ashworth delivers some shoulders to the midsection of Lev while jeering at some fans at ringside. Lev really taking some damage from the champ. Massive powerslam from Jacob garners a two count. Big slam and a swinging elbow drop result in another two count for Ashworth. Lev mounts a comeback with a running clothesline, then a handful more clotheslines that do not take Jacob off his feet and seem to power him up. Then both hit opposite ropes and it’s Lev with the step- through STO to take down Ashworth! Two count for the challenger. Alexander puts Jacob in a fireman’s carry, then drops him onto his knee with a crushing neckbreaker for a two and forty-seven sixty-fourths count. Jacob gets a big slam and another close fall on his opponent. Ashworth gains bigger momentum to put Lev in a STF submission, where the challenger almost tapped…but found the ropes instead for the break. Jacob does not wait for Alexander to get up. Instead pulls him up for a short-arm clothesline. Just as Ashworth thinks he has the win in hand, Lev lands a running DDT for the win! 

Winner: (and NEW Georgia Heritage Champion) Alexander Lev via pinfall 

Match 5: The Wonderboyz (Aaron & Ethan Dallas), Simon Sermon Vs. Lethal
Gainz (Lamar Phillips, Chris Gainz w/Richard Page), Mystery Partner (c-6 Man Tag Team Chmapionships)—Fans and especially GM Jason Boyd realize the obvious simultaneously: Ryan Marx is missing from ringside. As Richard Page and Boyd exchange verbal jabs it’s Jason who has the solution: the titles WILL be on the line and since Lethal Gainz need a partner he has one ready for them. As he looks towards the entranceway we hear the familiar music of….Zander Whoric?! Lamar Phillips is beside himself to see his new “partner” for the night is his LEAST favorite referee ever! It takes all Gainz can do to calm his stablemate down so they can begin the match. We get down to business with Simon Sermon and Chris Gainz. Sermon with the BIG back body drop on Gainz followed by the trademark pie-face in the corner! Phillips charges in and gets dropped in the adjacent corner and gets a Simon pie-face for his efforts as well! Zander tags in and looks to even his teams standings in the match. He looks at Simon…and hit the deck! Simon covers him quickly for a 1-2…Gainz breaks up the pin. Phillips, Gainz and Page ask Whoric what that was about to which he says “my bad” and the match continues. This time Sermon pokes Zander in the chest and he hits the deck again! Simon on top for the 1-2-…almost fall as Phillips breaks it up. He’s had enough! He picks up Whoric and deposits him over the ropes to the apron while instructing him to “stay there”. Aaron Dallas and Gainz enter the ring. Headlock by Aaron, Gainz breaks free and eats a couple shoulder tackles then some hip tosses. Chris finds his feet and slams the elder Dallas brother into the rock hard bicep of tag partner Phillips. Lamar now in to crush A-Aron with bigtime pummeling including a headbutt to the lower lumbar region of Dallas. Gainz tags in so he and Phillips can perform the high five ear pop on Aaron for a two count. Aaron battles back however and gets the upperhand on Phillips. Ethan Dallas gets the tag from his brother as Lamar finds Chris for the same. Ethan flies around the ring with slingblades and more to take down his foes. Tilt-a-whirl DDT on Gainz by Ethan and the crowd roars in approval. He follows that with a dropkick and flatliner for a two count on Gainz. The pin is broken up with Zander enters the ring and stops the referees arm from hitting the mat a third time. He says something to the ref who calls for the bell. After the bell, it is explained that Lethal Gainz was disqualified so the team of Simon Sermon and the Wonderboyz are the victors! Whoric says he wants a piece of Richard Page who says the only way that happens is if he goes through ALL members of his faction. Zander says he’ll do what he has to so he gets Page in the ring alone. 

Winners: The Wonderboyz (Aaron & Ethan Dallas), Simon Sermon via DQ 

Match 6: Sal Rinauro Vs. Eddie Hindrixx—Sal starts off getting in and out of the ring to play mind games with Eddie. Rinauro sits cross-legged in the ring just smiling at Hindrxix which vastly confuses the big man. They eventually tangle with a test of strength where Sal grabs a headlock. Eddie picks him off the ground and lightly tosses across the ring, then grabs a wristlock on the veteran grappler. Rinauro reverses into a behind the back hammerlock armbar. He catches Hendrix with a back elbow then some chops. Those only wake up the bear as Hendrix unleashes quite possibly the loudest, most directly damaging chop on Rinauro that had every fan feeling the effects! Eddie throws a few more crushing chops before utilizing a double underhook suplex and a gut- wrench suplex for good measure. Delayed suplex held up for a second by Sal, then Eddie regroups and hoists him up once more before following through for the smashing slam. He gets a one count. Sal blocks a German suplex and stomps the back of Eddie. He then dropkicks the back of Hendrix and hits a running knee to the small of the back of him to further the damage inflicted. Rinauro goes for a pedigree and countered into a back body drop. They each trade strikes then a back splash in the corner by Eddie followed by a clothesline. A side-walk slam by Hendrix. As Sal gets to his feet Hindrixx hits a pop-up powerbomb for a very near fall. Sal knocks Eddie down and climbs the ropes where he’s met by Eddie who tries a superplex that is blocked by Rinauro. Sal goes for the sunset flip bomb but cannot quite get his opponent off the rope. Instead he tucks Eddie’s head to deliver a superkick to his face. He covers for a two and seven eighths count. They fight to the apron. Rinauro sweeps the feet of Hendrix who crashes onto the apron then rolls onto the floor. Sal rushes back in the ring and encourages the official (along with many fans) to count Eddie out. After a very slow count to nine, Hendrix finds his way back inside the square circle. Sal stomps his foot in the corner to signal the ensuing super kick. As Eddie rises to his feet, Sal goes for the kick and Eddie catches his foot. We get a succession of overhead release suplexes from Hindrixx, each slightly more impressive to witness…and more shattering to Rinauro. The final suplex being a standing falcon arrow over-head release suplex for the victory. 

Winner: Eddie Hendrixx via pinfall 

Match 7: Main Event—“Southern Outlaw” Sean Nelson Vs. Stevie Ray Frost (c- Heavyweight Championship: “Prince Of Darkness Match”)—For this ultimate grudge match, Frost made Nelson agree to a “Prince of Darkness” rules match. The rules are basically this: There are four druids around the ring. When the lights go out, a druid presents a weapon into the match that is legal to use from that point on. These are the only weapons legal in the match. Now the match begins the Nelson is laying it on Frost. Punches, kicks, flying attacks and more to just lay the wood to the heavyweight champ. Light go out, when they come back on Druid #1 presents a bull rope! The two combatants tangle for control of it then Nelson smashes the cowbell into Frost. Then he whips him with the rope multiple times. Sean is really getting the best of Stevie Ray and is cruising to hoisting the belt once again! The lights go down. When they rise, Druid #2 brandishes…a tennis racket! They jockey for possession of the newest addition to the match then they trade blows on each other with it. Frost starts to get his footing and gets in some damage to Nelson. Nelson with a decapitating clothesline using the bull rope on Frost. Stevie Ray lands a back elbow, then takes a tour around his fallen foe dishing out stomps to different parts of the “Southern Outlaw”. Frost glares around ringside and grins. The lights go out a third time. When they are back on we see Druid #3 produce a bat with something wrapped around the barrel. The onlookers are wondering aloud what has been added to the weapon, however do not have to wonder much longer. Sean Nelson grabs it, lifts it high in the air, then lowers it quickly onto Frost. BOOM! An explosion of shrapnel and sparks echo throughout the building as the stunned audience tries to wrap their minds around what they just saw! Frost is rolling in pain and Nelson tries to cover him. Only a two count. As the smell of explosives fills the air, the lights go out for the final time. Druid #4 has something in his hand, but instead of showing it he slowly glides into the ring. He then reveals weapon four: the trademark antlers of Stevie Ray Frost! He shows them to Nelson, then places them in the middle of the ring before giving Sean a “thumbs up”. Before Nelson can grab them, Druid #4 dropkicks him to the ground. As the fans wonder what that was about, Druid #4 removes his hood and robe….it’s Xander Seabolt! Seabolt smiles at Frost then exits to the floor. Stevie Ray grabs his antlers and crunches them into the top of Sean’s head. Frost covers and the official counts the 1-2-3. 

After the match, Jason Boyd tells Frost that he may have outwitted him this night, but on October 4th in this same building Frost will be a part of a 10-Man Tag Match where whoever pins Frost would be the new #1 Contender. Frost and Seabolt saunter to the back. 

Winner: (and STILL Heavyweight Champion) Stevie Ray Frost via pinfall 

 Next Show: October 4th 

Takeaways: 

-That bat was loaded up and produced such a book it might have shook the walls. Post match Frost has quite the mark across his back where it landed. Might have been one of the best uses and presentations of such a weapon as I have seen in a long time. 

-AJ called out Mayson and paid for it by getting beaten from pillar to post. How will he rebound and have we seen the last of these two brawling all over the property? What did he think of Nelson throwing in the towel on his behalf? 

-Mayson is racking up wins across the state. Is there someone out there that can truly best him or will he run roughshod where he likes? 

 -Ayden Andrews got his first Premier win whereas Justin McKenzie is still looking for his. These two tore is up and were a great change of pace to the Mayson/Black match just before it. 

-Ashton Martin used his high energy to pick up a solid win over Stevens. Stevens had some other verbal battles throughout the match with fans at ringside. It seemed to distract him from the flying attacks of Martin just enough to where he was not victorious. Can the veteran find new focus and best his opponent next time? 

-Alexander Lev picks up more hardware for his career total with an incredible victory over the ever dangerous Jacob Ashworth. Not often you see two fan- favorites go toe to toe for a championship. In this case, each showcased almost their entire arsenal to win, but it was Lev who found the extra gear late when he needed it. Is there a direct rematch building or what new foe wants a shot at Lev’s new prize? 

-The Wonderboyz & Simon Sermon are just fun to watch work. The Dallas brothers work so well together and Sermon is a living legend with so much still to give to the sport. -Lethal Gainz have a Whoric problem. Plus, where was Ryan Marx? It definitely affected Gainz and Phillips not have the big man in tow. Richard Page is doing a good job of navigating the litigation pitfalls, however not being a full three piece can create new issues for the veteran faction. 

-Eddie Hindrixx is a powerful suplex machine. He threw Sal around like a sack of potatoes. There are not many out there that can match his power at the moment. -Sal Rinauro is a cerebral institution. He keeps everyone guessing and that makes him dangerous if you see him across the ring. 

-Sean Nelson cannot get a fair shake at the top title. He thought in calling out Frost like he did that it would be a straight up fight. Then had to agree to this match. If he ever gets a match in his favor, could he be the one to dethrone “Prince” Frost? 

-Stevie Ray Frost has been champion for over a year now (I believe). He finds new ways each time to come out victorious and does it in ways that are masterful. Now he seems to be building a new group of monsters with Seabolt being the first recruit. As if defeating him was not hard enough, Seabolt will make sure you have to go through him to get to Frost every time. Best wishes to any challenger.
