From Larry Goodman:

The Halloween season is upon us. Wicked Havoc is two weeks away and the man himself is in peak form. 

The nearly award winning Wlcked Nemesis and Mathias Darkthorne manned the commentation station. Darkthorne was the ring announcer. Your referees: T-Bird and Joseph Void. The incomparable Katie Lindsey was the ringside videographer. 

The All-Out Championship changed hands twice. Cameron Keast's fourth All-Out title reign lasted less than 15 minutes. Christian Garrett is tasting Gold for the first time in his ProSouth career.

(1) Ayden Andrews defeated Caeden Ooten (with Harley Haven) in 8:15. Ooten got a close near fall with Eric Silva's finisher and another with Andrews' Nail In The Coffin. Andrews rolled out. Ooten rolled Andrews back in and got nailed. 

One hell of a way to open the  show, hard-hitting and the best Ooten match in a minute. No accident Andrews was his opponent. C was letting that lethal right hand go. Harley tried glasses for something different. 

Karmageddon (Bubba Cagle, DRP and "The Almighty" Scott Adams) jumped Andrews. Joe Wood tried to help and was overwhelmed by the numbers. Chosen Ones (Ace Haven, Cameron Keast and Justin McKenzie) hit the ring and Karmageddon said Sayonara.

Keast admitted it was his fault McKenzie was stuck in an All-Out title match this week. Mckenzie finished the sentence -- due to a game of musical chairs. Keast said he had friends in high places and would get himself added to the match to help Justin out. Wicked wasn't buying it for an instant. Never trust anyone associated with the Havens. 

Keast fast talked his way into an All-Out title match. Tremendous. McKenzie showed presence on the mic. 

(2) Trey Jordan defeated Vougan in 3:20. Jordan over with the Air Jordan F5.

Four stars for perverse wrestling entertainment.. Vougan is a trip. A vicious version of the Emo King has potential. 

(3) Bubba Cagle (with Scott Adams) defeated Joe Wood in 10:10. Cagle worked over Wood's shoulder. Wicked said Cagle was high as a kite and smokin'. Wood got Cagle in a precarious predicament. Karmegeddon interfered and Adams got his extra-bald fat ass dumped into the ring. Cagle gave Wood a low blow while T-Bird was screwing around with Adams and picked up the win with the Fear Street 85 (hammerlock DDT).

Ten minutes of this was asking too much. Wood looked blown up. Bonus points for Cagle's stellar work on the body part.

(4) Brother Azriel defeated Steven Calozzi in 8:17. Calozzi took a pit stop with Wicked. 

Calozzi grabbed Darkthorne's chain from commentary and brought it into the ring. Referee Void objected. Calozzi thtrew the chain out and told Void to go play fetch. Calozzi got the brass knucks out of his corner and got spiked with the Woodgrain. 

Calozzi totally gets it as a larger than life character. As an in-ring wrestler, he's work in progress.

Postmatch -- Calozzi was delirious. Azriel had Calozzi upside down for another Woodgrain. Christian Pierce appeared and said allow me to beat Calozzi's ass. The he would take care of Ooten and get his ProSouth Championship back. Az gave Pierce the honor. Not so fast..........................................................

C  attacked from behind. He and Calozzi gave Pierce the beatdown. Lights out.......

Lights on and "The Ghost" persona of Eric Silva was in the ring squaring off with Pierce. Pierce and Silva had each other's back and laid out Ooten and Calozzi. 

The shot of Az holding Calozzi upside down was fantastic. Something to note: Az yielding to Pierce after Pierce said he was coming for HIS championship.

AJ Black video.  AJ's good friend "The Southern Outlaw" Sean Nelson was going to ruin Pryor's plans. Wicked said AJ was a horrible visual effects artist and he was not wrong.

(5) Julius Pryor defeated Sean Nelson in 5:37.  Nelson relentlessly targeted Pryor's left shoulder. Pryor got the victory with a roll up but immediately clutched his shoulder in agony. 

Nelson demolished Pryor's shoulder after the match.

Nelson was pretty great in the role of AJ's old style hit man for hire. The excessiveness of his attack was appropriately appalling. Pryor's selling made my arm hurt. 

Ace Haven promo. Ace said this was time in the show when he buries Lev until he he grows a pair and showed up to fight him. Ace said it was all in the spirt of selling tickets.

We want to see you spend your hard earned money to see two men put on their magic underwear and fight.

Ace said he had dropped bomb after bomb after bomb and Lev's only response was a measly video. If Ace as a stale piece of bread, Lev was a breadcrumb. Lev was a baby. Ace had been wrestling for 18 years and walked away unscathed. Tow years ago, Lev won the inaugural GWH rookie of the year award, while ProSouth walked away with seven trophies. Georgia picked Alabama as the best pro wrestling in Georgia. Lev got beat up by Hakeem Young at that awards show. But Hakeem couldn't finish what he started. He was going to kick Lev's ass all over the ProSouth Palace. It was going to be fight without honor. He no respect for Lev or the work he put out. Ace said pro wrestling had become a landfill of trash and Lev sat on top of the garbage pile. He was going to give Lev the ass the whipping he and Georgia wrestling had coming.

In light  of Lev's performance at NWA Samhain 3 and Ace's skewed view of Georgia wrestling, Ace has some hyperbolic words to eat. and may have been better off as the heel in this deal. 

(6) Cameron Keast defeated Champion Justin McKenzie and DRP (with Scott Adams & Bubba Cagle) to win the All-Out Championship in 10:47. The commentary took a potshot at Georgia wrestling's lack of appreciation for entertainment. Referee T-Bird got knocked down.  Cagle joined Adams for a low down attack Keast and McKenzie. Adams caused a calamity between Keast and McKenzie and Keast fell on top of DRP for a three count.

Adams and Cagle attacked Keast. Garrett made the save with a steel chair. Garrett said it would be his honor to be the first to wrestle Keast for the title. Keast told McKenzie he owed him a title match but in a nod to his their history, Garrett could have title match any time. 

Garrett  kneed Keast in the balls. Karmageddon joined with Garrett in beating  Keast  to a pulp. Garrett started to leave with Karmegeddon. Keast was in pitiful shape: 

I don't expect this is the point where you turn around and start to feel bad for me. I told you you could have a match any time. Get your ass in here. Let's get weird.

(7) Christian Garrett (with Scott Adams) defeated Cameron Keast to win the All-Out Championship in 5:14. Adams stopped Keast mid-slap to  halt the activation of Psycho Cam.  Garrett took it to Keast. Cam slapped Garrett and spit in his face. Garrett slapped Keast, just what the doctor ordered to bring forth Cam's other worldly powers. Garrett threw referee Void in the path of Keast's fireball. Karmageddon attacked Keast en masse. McKenzie and Ace came ran in to defend Cam. Wood tried to help  and bungled it. Adams was choking Amy Haven on the stage. Andrews grabbed Adams. The three of them careened off the stage and out of view.  Keast dragged Adams into the ring. Garrett blasted Keast in the back with the belt and gave him his pumphandle suplex finisher. Adams threw T-Bird in the ring to make the count. New champion.

Weird it was, crazily overbooked, chock full of awkward moments, they threw everything at the wall and most of it stuck. With the tag team championship already devalued, ProSouth is playing it fast and loose with another title.  I will say this, Garrett hit his finisher perfectly.
