00:59better to kick off this Falcon would take to the skies event than with this
01:03man right here absolutely true grit Connor Mills UKPW veteran that has been
01:09here so long now as you can see in our highlights package who just absolutely
01:14destroying competitors Maverick Mayhew absolutely everyone the man is a legend
01:21here at UKPW and to have this shot at the UKPW intra-regional champion David
01:27Francisco it's one hell of a testament to that yes indeed but speaking of David
01:33Francisco we know what this music means we know what we're in for we know what
01:39excitement builds he likes to let it build
01:43here he is
01:48looks good on ya
02:08well they love him here in Falcon Woods and David Francisco has been on an
02:13absolute tear since winning that inter-regional championship in a street
02:17fight from Harry Sefton
02:25Gratwell fans please welcome my guests at this time your UKPW
02:29inter-regional champion David Francisco David welcome back to Falconwood this was
02:35obviously where you won that championship and where I presented you with that
02:38beautiful new belt today you're up against true grit Connor Mills he's coming for that
02:44championship like many others how are you feeling today listen uh I feel like every
02:50time we're standing in this room here and you got that microphone it is newsworthy right
02:55either I become the inter-regional champion or I get a brand new inter-regional championship
03:00look at that is that the best looking title in UKPW I'd say so and I kind of help make
03:04you look really good am I right and today is newsworthy as well Connor Mills is a great
03:11opponent and I understand that UKPW are doing exactly what I asked they are putting the best
03:15wrestlers not just in the country but in Europe the world to come and fight for this to help me
03:20build this division into becoming something that is worth talking about but personally there's
03:27something very special between myself and Connor Mills there is no one that I've been in the ring
03:31with the most I know him better than anybody he knows me better than anybody and we know that
03:36coming in I am expecting the unexpected I'm expecting to wrestle someone that can think the
03:42way I think even before I am thinking it and that that can can make my job really hard but
03:49it can also
03:50make it really interesting because what I want is challenges and everyone is lining up to be a
03:54challenge Connor Mills is doing it today and I know that everyone is coming and gunning for this
03:58because you've heard a lot of people talking to the microphone and saying that they want this
04:02I am happy for that I am running away from nobody because if they want this title it is normal
04:09that
04:09they do because I am the centerpiece and all these challengers are revolving around me today is defense
04:16number two I promise you I am defending this title I will be the champion and I'll take on all
04:22of you
04:22because I'm going to become the greatest interregional champion in history and it continues today
04:28are you ready I'm gonna go out there right now you better play my music right now let's go
04:36well I mean nobody puts it better than the man himself no the man is newsworthy David Francisco
04:44whoa whoa huge flying drop kick there from Connor Mills straight through that middle row
04:51taking out Francisco yeah Connor Mills obviously thinking that that title looks good on him
04:57as he rolls him into the ring
05:05cover in the middle of the ring this could do it
05:09oh it'd be a lot for that straight off the bat oh wow transitions that ankle lock very swiftly
05:15and David Francisco is in a bad place this is a 20-foot ring grapple fans it never looks bigger
05:20than
05:20in moments like this as David Francisco frantically trying to make his way to that middle rope and
05:27Connor Mills drags him out but a roll up one two oh very much a big boot from Connor Mills
05:36oh wow David Francisco very much so but Connor Mills going for that ankle lock is very interesting
05:43potentially taking away the other stone kick
05:45there's press
05:49let's just go measuring up
05:51big leg drop
05:53big leg drop
05:55cover
05:55one of his own
05:57two
05:59there's frenetic pace
06:01very early on this bodes well for this match I'm loving it
06:05absolutely
06:06that means it's
06:06oh what a slant
06:08no
06:10as he hoists him up
06:12oh Connor Mills telegraphs
06:14looking for that stalling uranagi
06:16yeah Connor Mills quite wisely taking the spill to the outside to recuperate
06:20but eats a big forearm from David Francisco for his trouble
06:24runs the score off the rope
06:26goes for the drop kick
06:27oh Mills caught him
06:28oh
06:30oh again targeting the leg
06:33wrenching that leg of David Francisco
06:39as Francisco
06:41alluded to in his pre-match interview
06:43these two know each other so well
06:46absolutely as Connor Mills a standing dragon screw
06:50without throwing him over
06:52just wrenching that leg
06:55we know a lot of Francisco's arsenal comes from that leg
06:59oh and again big kick
07:02absolutely
07:03David Francisco's already reeling
07:05he's already had the ankle lock applied in this match
07:09very much so
07:10crowd firmly behind Mr. Francisco
07:12what a kick
07:18cover
07:20a little bit lackluster there by Connor Mills but I generally don't think you believe he's going to win it
07:25with that cover
07:26well maybe not but if anybody's going to believe it it's Connor Mills
07:31yep very much so
07:32the man is incredibly self-assured
07:34there's no argument with that
07:40once again
07:40targeting that leg
07:42just a big kick to the underside
07:47take away that vertical base from the centerpiece
07:51he's certainly been in a lot more trouble than he is now
07:54well as you said Dave it's kicks
07:56it's uranages which require that launch from the legs
08:00he's all of his arsenal relies on him having two good legs
08:06and again like twisting leg on that one wow
08:12just a little extra stank on that one
08:14yeah very much as you can see like
08:16David Francisco like slightly to the side making sure his shoulders aren't down on the mat
08:21he can't have that left counting three to that
08:24he's but he's got to find a way out of this
08:27yeah he really does he's looking
08:29moving those arms around but Connor Mills just slacking
08:32that toe
08:34adding some extra pressure
08:36he's going for an Indian death lock
08:38it looks like it
08:39yes
08:40Connor Mills is in a really good position
08:41he's closer to the ropes than Francisco is
08:43very much so
08:49oh
08:49applying that pressure
08:51checking for the
08:52there he is
08:54shoulders were down
08:54yeah
08:55oh
08:56big kick
08:58and another two
08:59oh
09:00just catching him straight under the chin with his toe
09:03oh
09:03that time Francisco telegraphs
09:06shot him for his trouble
09:09that's Mills
09:10oh
09:11mount position just such a strong slap
09:14just the distance
09:15on the Mills
09:16these two know each other so well as David Francisco outlined in his pre-match promo
09:20but
09:20yep
09:21yeah they really uh
09:23it doesn't mean they like each other
09:29so this guy seems to be a little vexed
09:34almost inviting
09:36yeah he's trying to fire him up
09:38yeah he seems to be having the opposite effect of what Connor Mills intends
09:43unless he's trying to wind up the inter-regional champion
09:45in which case missing accomplished
09:48very much so
09:49but considering David Francisco has not lost a match
09:52since losing to Harry Sefton at Rampage 24
09:55he's gonna have to go a long way to pry that inter-regional championship from David Francisco's very firm grasp
10:01yes indeed
10:02yes indeed
10:03Francisco is announcing himself as open to take it on all corners
10:07and this is number two
10:10Connor Mills is a very
10:12very impressive
10:13second competitor to face against
10:16yep
10:17and if Francisco can get past Connor Mills
10:19we do know that
10:22break stuff winner Ashmore
10:24is waiting in the wings
10:26having announced his intentions to pursue the inter-regional championship
10:29yes indeed
10:30I mean arguably anybody in that match could have
10:33could have made the case for that
10:38oh Francisco ducks the clothesline
10:40one of his own
10:42ow
10:45you can see the grimace on Francisco's face
10:48as it came around on that leg
10:51it is causing him a
10:52a lot of problems
10:55Mills unsteadily on his feet
10:59block
11:01now just launching into a tirade of strikes
11:04for himself here Francisco is
11:05that's right
11:06oh
11:07big one
11:07sends Connor Mills screaming to the corner
11:10looks a little dazed
11:12not supposed
11:15Mills telegraphs

11:20nice roll from over
11:21oh
11:22beautiful drop kick by David Francisco
11:26again
11:28Mills looking a little wobbly on those legs right now

11:36momentum shift in his favour
11:40oh

13:44he's definitely feeling the effects of those double backhanders
13:48absolutely
13:49because he's holding his nose
13:50Connor Mills must be thinking
13:52what do I have to do to keep this guy down
13:55yep
14:04both men
14:05making their way gingerly to their feet
14:09well you have to consider at this point in time
14:11yeah
14:11if Connor Mills can keep his composure
14:13he really could be taking that international championship from David Francisco
14:17he's not lost a match here since July 22
14:21he's not lost a match here since July 22
14:22that's absolutely right
14:23as he dies for the hurricane rana but Francisco catches

20:06-one three-on-one i will always be a fighting champion

20:26wow wow wow wow well go on the trial strategy
20:30yeah let's see if it pays off
20:37hang on
20:40Oh, UKPW management is signalling to Cody.
20:50Crowd are not happy.
20:53I don't know what he said yet.
20:54No.
20:56Okay, so I have just been informed by UKPW management.
20:59Tony, you have to defend those tag team titles tonight.
21:04Tag team rules.
21:07That's not going to go damn well with this crowd here in Falconwood.
21:15You need partners.
21:18No partners, no titles.
21:20The titles go to CPF.
21:22You have to have partners.
21:23The management will slow down the gauntlet.
21:26If these titles are not defended in a three-on-three,
21:29CPF will win by default.
21:32We all love default.
21:37Oh, hang on a second.
21:40They're not with me.
21:41They're not with me.
21:42They're not with me.
21:42Wow, we know what this music means.
21:44They're saying they're not with me.
21:46Indeed.
21:48But if they're not with him, why are they here?
21:51Well, that's the thing.
21:53We have to at least acknowledge they may not be with Cody, but they have.
21:58They're always with themselves.
22:00Yes, indeed.
22:01Well, Grapple fans, for the uninitiated, this is the former UKPW tag team champions,
22:07Jay Alexander and Delphine, who won the belts from CPF in Maidstone,
22:12and then lost them to Prince Dean and Cody at Tables Ladders' Scares.
22:18Now, Prince Dean, to catch you up, has been injured in a match with Denzel Mack at Rampage,
22:23and is unable to compete, which means that Cody needs two partners.
22:29Now, what I don't understand is why Jay and Delphine are here.
22:33Can we help you?
22:36No.
22:37No.
22:40No.
22:40Hello, Percy.
22:41Hi, mate.
22:42Seems like you're a bit of a pickle.
22:44See, we've been back there, and I know there's no other tactics back there.
22:49But good news.
22:52Your good friends, Jay and Delphine, are here to back you up.
22:55No, no.
22:56Right?
22:56Right.
22:57Wow.
22:58Good friends.
23:02You don't have a choice.
23:03No, no, man.
23:04If you need Delphine, or if you're losing, that tag team title without even defending.
23:09No, this belt's going, look.
23:11This belt is going nowhere deeper.
23:14I think for today, if I ever have to be tagged from you, Lord.
23:17Ah, strong words again from Cody, but Jay Alexander's got a point.
23:20I don't understand.
23:21You, team with us, or you lose that belt.
23:27That is one hell of a situational descriptor there, by Joe.
23:31Yeah, Mr. Delphine.
23:32Yeah, I mean, he puts it better than me.
23:35Very succinctly.
23:36Yes, indeed.
23:36Well, you lose that belt today.
23:38What are you doing?
23:41What are you doing?
23:41Why are you just coming to?
23:43He's strong.
23:44He's strong.
23:45He's strong.
23:45He's strong.
23:46He's strong.
23:47He's strong.
23:48It's a very split crowd here in Falcon.
23:50But some are saying go with it.
23:51Okay, play a PC out of that.
23:53You really lost one of them.
23:54Where's the other...
24:07Oh, a little bit of Mickey taking there going on.
24:10Yeah, of course, as we know, Grapple fans, the other belt went with Denzel Mack and has not returned since.
24:15And it won't be the last.
24:16You're on.
24:17We tag.
24:19One time.
24:20And you think you want to get a shot at this?
24:22Bring it.
24:22Because you ain't getting this belt back.
24:24Oh.
24:25Oh, okay.
24:26There we go.
24:27Wow.
24:30So, the good friends of Cody are going to be facing the close personal friends.
24:37Yeah.
24:37Interesting.
24:38That seems to be what we're on for here.
24:42Wait a minute.
24:43And speaking of close personal friends, that's a very interesting development.
24:52Yes.
24:53Speaking of interesting developments, this is Denzel Mack.
24:56The man who has absconded with the other UKPW tag title belt that was formerly around the waist of Cody's
25:05dad, Prince Dean.
25:10Yeah.
25:18This man is built like a wall.
25:20I'm the UKP katnick one.
25:22I'm the UKPak title belt.
25:23Right!
25:25Again, oh, words.
25:27I'm not sure where he's getting that.
25:27Not sure that's quite right.
25:30Hold this again.
25:40Cody's got a choice to make
25:42Yeah, Cody's got a choice to make
25:43Oh, there we go
25:43Oh, yeah, there we go
25:44An uneasy alliance is formed
25:47Cody, Jay Alexander and Delphine
25:49Will defend the tag team championships
25:51Under Freebird rules against CPF
25:55And if Cody and Jay and Delphine win
25:58Jay and Delphine will effectively insert them
26:01Back into the UKPW tag team title picture
26:05Yes, indeed, well, grapple fans
26:07We'll see that later on in proceedings
26:09But for now
26:11The wrestlers you see on UKPW
26:14Are trained professionals
26:16And should not be copied
26:24UKPW is very dangerous
26:26The show you're watching
26:28Has been organised with great preparation
26:31And should not be attempted by anyone
26:34Oh, my goodness
26:36Oh, my goodness
26:39Wrestling may look fun
26:41But the hazards are real
26:48No matter who you are
26:50Whatever you do
26:51Please do not try this at home, school or anywhere
26:56Well, fans, please welcome my guest at this time
26:58The ultimate geezer, Tommy Tanner
27:01Tommy, welcome back to Falconwood
27:03Last time you was here
27:04You beat everyone on the card
27:06To hold that Invictus Cup high
27:09And today, because of that win
27:11You get to face your biggest challenge yet
27:14The UKPW Championship
27:15Your first chance at this championship
27:17What's going through your mind right now?
27:19Oi, oi, we're sat in people
27:21Kimmy, as you said last time
27:22I won the Invictus Cup
27:24Smashed seven other geezers
27:26To get to the top
27:27And now, I've got a shot
27:29At the UKPW Championship
27:30But not just a shot
27:32Because if you lot remember
27:33Last time, I laid out Basham
27:35Went up to the top
27:36Hit my 450
27:38And did he get up?
27:39No, of course he didn't
27:40I held that belt high
27:41And you saw what happened next
27:42So, stay tuned
27:44We're going to smash it today
27:45He ain't got a chance
27:47Let's have it
27:50Well, Grapple fans
27:51Strong words from Tommy Tanner
27:52As the challenger
27:53But of course
27:55There is a man in his way
27:57A man mounted
27:58Is in his way
28:01And we know how the crowd
28:03In Falconwood feels about this man
28:07Indeed so
28:08And already they're all over him
28:11Well, Grapple fans
28:16He did indeed win the Championship
28:17From the Wolf of Wall Street
28:19Alexander Roth
28:20And since then
28:20Has defended it
28:22Against a number
28:23Of different challengers
28:25Most notably recently
28:26TK Cooper
28:28And
28:29A second defence
28:31In the same weekend
28:34But of course
28:35This has been building
28:36Since Invictus Cup
28:37Where Tommy Tanner
28:38Picked up the victory
28:39In the Invictus Cup
28:40And hit that 450
28:41On Lewis Basham
28:44That 450
28:45Literally coming down
28:47Like literally
28:47Almost knees first
28:48On his chest
28:49Basham is saying
28:50The science
28:51Basham sucks
28:52Yep
28:53He's got a pair of
28:54Is that scissors?
28:56Yes
28:56Yes
28:57That will be scissors
28:58At this point
28:59Okay
28:59Look at the smile
29:00On his face
29:02Sick smile at Lewis Basham
29:04Disappointing
29:04Your children
29:05In this crowd
29:05And
29:06Appears to be having
29:07A bit of a struggle
29:08You know
29:09I think this might not be
29:10A plate
29:11This might not be
29:11I don't think it's a board
29:13Oh
29:13Oh
29:14I think it was a board
29:15It might have been wood
29:16Wow
29:17Well
29:17I mean
29:18You don't give something
29:19Breakable to
29:20The Lord Lewis Basham
29:21And expect it to come
29:22White in one piece
29:23No
29:24Indeed not
29:26But right now
29:28Lewis Basham
29:28Is head off this crowd
29:30And into this match
29:31Produced Tommy Tanner
29:33Is a dangerous man
29:35Absolutely
29:36Right
29:36He's been on somewhat
29:37Of a roll
29:38Since his arrival
29:39Here in UKPW
29:39Hard to believe
29:40He's not been with
29:41In UKPW rings
29:43That many times
29:44But what an athlete
29:45What an impressive
29:46Showing he's made
29:47In such a short time
29:50Look at the intense
29:51He has not taken his eyes
29:52Off Lewis Basham
29:53Since he came
29:54To start coming to the ring
29:55Indeed not
29:56But I will highlight this
29:57I am loving
29:58Basham's new coloured ring ring
30:00It's so good
30:01It's so good
30:07Some might argue
30:08Wasted on Lewis Basham
30:10But I
30:10I think you'd be
30:13A bold person
30:14To say that to his face
30:17That's why I'm doing it now
30:18Yeah
30:29Oh not Lewis Basham
30:30About the size of his gavel
30:31I need to come out
30:32I need to come out
30:33I need to come out
30:33I need to come out
30:34I need to come out
30:35Ladies and gentlemen
30:36I'm a fanful fans
30:37You need a fanful
30:38One more time
30:39The following match
30:41Is scheduled
30:42For one fall
30:44One fall
30:46There will be
30:47No time to fix
30:49No time to fix
30:51Thank you
30:52That's alright
30:54And it is for
30:55Your UKPW
30:57Champion
30:58Theo Shea
31:02Chelsea's leader
31:04Is the biggest
31:06Waiting at 14 stone
31:09From Isleyton
31:11He is the award
31:13Of these are
31:17Tottenham
31:18Town
31:22I love him here in fact
31:24I do indeed.
31:54The UKPW Champion, The Law, Lewis Basham!
32:03Clark Andrews doing a wonderful job there remaining composed because we all know his history, Lewis Basham.
32:09Yes indeed, that was the stone that started rolling down the hill that ended up where we are now.
32:14Indeed so.
32:18And the Invictus Cup winner challenging the UKPW Champion.
32:26Referee showing both men the belts just in case they hadn't seen it earlier.
32:32I wonder who the crowd is in favour of, Dave what's your guess?
32:36I would almost go 50-50 but we'll see as the match goes on.
32:44Absolutely right, it's both men sizing each other up.
32:47Neither man a particularly small specimen.
32:51No, but as we've seen before Tommy Tanner is digging up a little bit.
32:56But wow, what Tanner lacks in size he tends to make for up for in speed.
33:02But Lewis Basham has just such explosivity.
33:06Absolutely.
33:07It is insane.
33:08Lewis Basham taunting Tommy Tanner.
33:10Just slow clap there, what a geezer.
33:15Just taking that moment to refocus yourself.
33:19Absolutely.
33:19He gets in the head of his opponent.
33:21That's one of the many tricks he uses to pick up victories.
33:27Just the sheer brutality and force of Basham.
33:32Just holding Tommy Tanner's arm, stopping him from getting to that elbow.
33:35Oh yeah.
33:36Oh.
33:37Just driving the elbow into the shoulder and just wrenching it.
33:41Wrenching his arm multiple times.
33:43Absolutely right.
33:44Now of course, Lewis Basham has beaten many competitors he is on an unbeaten run.
33:48The likes of which we have scarcely seen in UKPW.
33:51Including, of course, beating the forever champion, Alexander Roth.
33:57Very much so.
34:00However long this holds for will be, honestly, some people will view it as the darkest cloud that's ever been
34:07over UKPW.
34:08Oh, wow.
34:09Oh, what a reversal.
34:10Acrobatic series of maneuvers, including a cartwheel.
34:14I think I saw a kip up.
34:15Yep.
34:16And then ends with the momentum being shifted and now Lewis Basham is a little bit rocked.
34:27Both men lock up.
34:28I think it's fair to say, Dave, that in the Battle of Ring Gear, both men are winners.
34:33Oh, very much so.
34:34I'll have you honest with you, in the Battle of Ring Gear, we're all winners at this point.
34:38Absolutely.
34:39I think the answer to the question of who wins in the match between Tommy Tanner and Lewis Basham is
34:44the grapple fans of UKPW.
34:46Very much so.
34:47And those who appreciate Ring Gear.
34:51Lewis Basham enjoying some momentum here.
34:55Tommy Tanner, to his credit, is not backing down.
34:58Very much so.
34:59But as you say about momentum, and that's one of the things that Lewis Basham is really good at.
35:04He's really good at sucking the momentum out of another person.
35:07Absolutely.
35:08And utilizing it himself.
35:09He wants to play it at his speed, his game, the entire way through.
35:13Tommy Tanner wants to speed this up.
35:15Lewis Basham quite happy with the explosive team, but will want to slow it right down and grind and pound.
35:21Well, that won't do it.
35:23Tommy Tanner with a beautiful drop kick.
35:25Wow.
35:25Big arm drag.
35:26Huge elevation.
35:28As he tries to capitalize Lewis Basham, just driving him over to that corner.
35:33Again, that power.
35:33One, two, three, four.
35:36Referee there with a four count.
35:38Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
35:41Heard that one from here.
35:46Tommy Tanner up and over.
35:47Tommy Tanner.
35:48Off the rope.
35:49Quickness to Tommy Tanner.
35:51Beautiful.
35:52Ho, ho, ho.
35:54Beautiful hurray.
35:55UK, B-Dub, you know.
35:57UK, B-Dub, let's go.
36:00UK, B-Dub, you know.
36:02UK, B-Dub, let's go.
36:05Sends Basham to the outside.
36:09And quite wise by Lewis Basham.
36:11Of course, the title cannot change hands when it counts out.
36:14So, worst case scenario, just spend some time outside and that's a nice rest.
36:18Yep.
36:19Although Tanner looks like he's not going to let that happen.
36:21Oh.
36:22Over the top rope and Tanner lands beautifully.
36:26Big cross body.
36:30Just such an incredible, incredible pair of competitors.
36:34We are, we are just blessed to do what we do.
36:41So lucky in Lewis Basham.
36:43Yep.
36:44Wow.
36:47Over elevation, but not the kind he wanted.
36:50No.
36:51Momentum reversed.
36:57Lewis Basham.
36:59I know his confidence is very much warranted, but he cannot take Tommy Tanner lightly.
37:05Yeah.
37:06Yes indeed.
37:08Oh.
37:09Wow.
37:10It's a back elbow off the ropes.
37:13It's a two count.
37:23The crowd here trying to get Tommy Tanner back into this one.
37:26Having the crowd on the side can make such a big difference, especially when they get
37:30into the heads of Lewis Basham.
37:32Very much so.
37:33All we're often referred to as the third man in a match.
37:37Absolutely right.
37:39The invisible tag partner.
37:42Oh.
37:42Come on dude.
37:51I think, I think honestly the tiny hammer is the second most chanted chant that we have
37:57in UKPW behind Willy Wonka.
37:59Behind, let's go ringside.
38:00Oh.
38:01Yeah, the other one.
38:02Sorry.
38:03That's alright.
38:03Tommy Tanner floats over.
38:05Going for that super kick.
38:06But caught.
38:07Oh, look at that.
38:08Athleticism from Tanner.
38:10From the second rope.
38:11Yes.
38:12Cross body.
38:14One.
38:15Two.
38:15Oh.
38:16Oh.
38:17I think Tommy Tanner thought that one was in the bag.
38:20Didn't have enough look and shock on his face.
38:23Nah.
38:23I think it was more hope than anything.
38:25Very much so.
38:27Driving knee there by Basham and just a huge clubbing blow.
38:32It's just, it just knocks you completely out of wind.
38:36Like you've got nothing left.
38:38You just start sucking air into your lungs to try and recover something.
38:41Yes, indeed.
38:42Tommy Tanner's trying to find a way back into this one.
38:50Basham measuring up with a big right hand.
38:52I'll tell you what, that's a hammer right there.
38:55Yes, indeed.
38:56Maybe you should call that the gavel.
38:58Yeah, that's the gavel.
39:00Basham's right hand is now just known as the gavel.
39:03Sorry, that one's more than medium size.
39:05Yes.
39:13Basham looking to hook in that full Nelson.
39:15Oh.
39:16That could do it.
39:17If you can get him up.
39:18Oh.
39:18Oh.
39:19Tanner dropping down there.
39:21Jawbreaker.
39:24Oh, oh no.
39:26That's not a good place to find yourself.
39:28No, indeed not.
39:29Tommy Tanner dropping and drop kicking that left leg.
39:33Lewis Basham.
39:33Yeah.
39:35I just ran right into his arm.
39:38As I'm literally running into a wall.
39:41Hoping the wall's going to move.
39:43Yeah, it is.
39:44But unfortunately for Tommy Tanner, no such luck.
39:48No.
39:56Basham.
39:57Yeah, it's getting in his head again.
39:59Yeah.
39:59Yeah, very much so.
40:01He needs to get on top of Tanner and get this match done.
40:04Get this victory in the bag.
40:06This is what he wants.
40:08As we know.
40:08All it takes is three seconds of losing your concentration and you lose the belt.
40:13Yep.
40:16And he's down.
40:17He's losing his boots.
40:19Very much so.
40:20The speed and ferocity of that suplex was just off the charts.
40:24Oh, you used the perfect word for it earlier, Dave.
40:27Explosivity.
40:27Yes.
40:28That is the word.
40:36Basham is the definition of efficient use of energy.
40:41Absolutely right.
40:42He's slowed.
40:42Like you said, he's taken the pace out of the match.
40:44He's slowed the momentum down to a level he's comfortable with.
40:47It's Tommy Tanner trying to fight his way.
40:49Basham will not have it.
40:50Look at that.
40:51Power.
40:52And we've seen this before.
40:54Moving him round like a handbag.
40:56Oh.
40:56Big.
40:57Fall away slam.
40:59Just throwing him across that 20 foot ring.
41:01That's 20 feet.
41:02Raffle fans.
41:03He just logged in most of it.
41:05And the position that Tanner landed in was just stopped.
41:09It looked like you could outline him in chalk.
41:12Yeah.
41:14Like that.
41:15Dreadful day that Squareman made his end.
41:20We don't talk about it, of course.
41:23Let's talk about the match.
41:24Let's bash him.
41:24Yes.
41:25Stringing Tommy Tanner up over that middle row.
41:33Tommy Tanner is a little bit rocked, it's fair to say.
41:38He slipped him over a little bit.
41:40Yeah.
41:40He's hooked in.
41:42Looking to hoist him up for Tommy Tanner.
41:44Oh.
41:44Powers out.
41:45Victory roll.
41:46Flexibility there.
41:47Tanner to be able to get in underneath that small gap.
41:50Powers took it out of nowhere.
41:51But Basham looks angry.
41:54Well.
41:55Tanner just.
41:56Ducks through.
41:57Off the middle.
41:57Oh.
41:59Discus clothesline.
42:00And Basham is.
42:02Incensed.
42:03Yeah.
42:03There's no other word for it.
42:05No.
42:06The rage.
42:08Oh.
42:08Unfortunately, when you get that angry, you make mistakes.
42:12And that was a mistake.
42:14Absolutely.
42:15That Tanner capitalized on it.
42:16Tommy Tanner.
42:17Look, he hasn't been in the UK VW ring many times, but he is a seasoned pro around the country.
42:22He knows what to do in that situation to take maximum advantage.
42:28Basham whips him into the corner.
42:30Nobody home.
42:33Tanner.
42:34Back elbow.
42:35But he can't quite get back into capitalizing to the fullest.
42:41No.
42:42He's just.
42:42He looks just dangerous to rock.
42:45Oh no.
42:46Deep to that.
42:47Fireman's carry.
42:48We know where that can end up.
42:50Oh.
42:51Oh.
42:51Oh.
42:52Just the strength there.
42:55Look at the height.
42:57Yep.
42:57Tommy Tanner goes flying to the outsides, but lands on his feet.
43:02Keeping Basham at bay.
43:03But he needs to really do something a bit like that.
43:07Yep.
43:08That'll do it.
43:09Cool.
43:09That was a dropkick straight into the midsection.
43:13There wasn't even the chest area.
43:14Tanner was a little low on that one.
43:15Just caught him right in the stomach.
43:17Just diaphragm.
43:18Drive all the air out.
43:19And the Basham will be breathless.
43:22Very much so.
43:27Referee's four counts.
43:29Both men trying to answer the count of ten.
43:31If it hits ten, it's just a no contest.
43:34Yep.
43:35And that will not favor Tanner in the slices at this point.
43:38As we said before, in title matches they can only change hands by a pinfall or a submission.
43:43Right you are, Dave.
43:44Oh, wait a minute.
43:45Tommy Tanner just running on.
43:47He must be running on whatever you've burnt fumes down to.
43:52He's running on this crowd if I'm honest with you.
43:54It has to be.
43:55The energy that these Germans are.
43:58Looking for that super kick.
44:00Basham catches.
44:01And look at that face.
44:04Basham.
44:04Forward Nelson.
44:04Oh, what reversed.
44:06Nobody home.
44:07Super kick.
44:09Oh, and Basham in prime position.
44:13That's a really bad position, but Tommy Tanner just going for the cover.
44:17Two.
44:18No leg hook.
44:19Maybe that could have done it.
44:29He's climbing that top rope.
44:31Basham trying to close some distance.
44:33A long way away, but he springs up.
44:38Oh, he's up in that fireman's carry hold.
44:42Oh.
44:43Driven to the mat.
44:45Center of the ring.
44:46Two.
44:48Oh.
44:49Wow.
44:50How did Tommy Tanner kick out of that one?
44:53Has anyone, with the exception of Roth, has anyone kicked out of it?
44:59It is not a common thing, Dave.
45:02I know that for sure.
45:03No.
45:03I mean, you can see it in the face of Louis Basham.
45:06Yeah.
45:08Yeah.
45:08There we go.
45:12Seems to have made eye contact with...
45:15Asked if it was Tommy Tanner's brother.
45:17I think it was Tommy Tanner's brother, indeed.
45:20Yeah.
45:21I'm not sure in the sibling sense, or just in the fraternal love sense.
45:28As he just...
45:29Tommy Tanner's just...
45:32Basham saying it's over.
45:34Trying to fight out that full Nelson.
45:38Oh!
45:40Big German suplex.
45:42Driving him to the floor.
45:44And out of nowhere, Basham is absolutely reeling.
45:47And Tommy Tanner can pick up the momentum.
45:49He's got to capitalize.
45:51He's got to be quick getting up there.
45:52I know that was a hard impact to the back end.
45:54Well, Basham's head.
45:55Oh, wait, Basham!
45:56Oh!
45:57Hang on a second.
45:59Push that referee into the ropes.
46:01Look at the smile on Basham's face.
46:09Basham is making all the...
46:11Basham bleeding innocence here.
46:12Yeah, absolutely.
46:13Bleeding innocence.
46:16Tommy Tanner is...
46:18We know for a fact that Lewis Basham knows every trick and every rule and every law in the book.
46:26That's right.
46:28Tommy Tanner doing his best to hold on.
46:31Oh!
46:31Reverse suplex!
46:34Flapjacks him onto the canvas.
46:37Big time away.
46:38Trying to go for a sunset flip but Basham...
46:41Hang on!
46:41Hang on!
46:42Hang on the ropes!
46:42No!
46:44What?
46:50I was shocked!
46:51I don't...
46:52I don't...
46:52I don't know what to say.
46:55Well...
46:55The referee's...
46:56The referee's called it.
46:57And...
46:58Still...
46:59You did...
47:00You did...
47:01You did...
47:01You did...
47:02The Lord...
47:05Lewis...
47:06Lewis Basham...
47:08Lewis Basham...
47:09By hook or crook.
47:11That's right.
47:12Tommy Tanner looked right down the camera as if to...
47:14With just bleeding eyes.
47:16And I don't blame him.
47:17He goes for the sunset flip.
47:18Here we go. We see it again.
47:19Basham kneels down.
47:20Hoists him up.
47:21And he grabs that rope for leverage.
47:23Clear as day.
47:24But it's enough to get the freak out.
47:26The referee's decision is fighting.
47:27That's how it goes.
47:28And genuinely, you'd be...
47:28But that's the thing.
47:29Like, literally, in the referee's eye line.
47:33What was going on?
47:36And this crowd are just voicing everyone's opinion at this point in time.
47:40Charming cheating.
47:41Now, over Apple fans, the referee's decision is what matters.
47:44And it's gone to Lewis Basham.
47:46His championship reign goes on.
47:56Thewoofer is no rotation to each other.
47:57He's no need.
47:57He's on the soccer on the front.
47:58Of him who is the Today's, he sat down on his country.
47:58He's on the ground.
47:59Inhmms,アーティング of the Ski- contrôle.
