Match 2 semi FInal of Glasgow Cup Leon Slater vs Frankie Kazarian


What a match to follow but they showed they can do it. Again we didn’t know we where going to see these men. The crowd interaction was amazing and both men gave it their all and wanted to advance. Both men shared the upper hands with Kaz showing he still has a lot in him and Leon Slater showing his quickness, he also did his trademark dive out the turnbuckles the corner. Leon Slater showing he has what it takes to be the next big superstar and be a member of the impact roaster. Kaz managed to get his finisher and he both men showed respect at the end of the match. I think Kaz was surprised with how good Leon is.


Frankie won and advanced to the final


Match 3 Moose Brian Myers Virtusoa Donna Purrazzo vs Sub Culture


This match was back and forth for both teams. Both teams shared upper hands with both teams taking more charge than others at points. Both teams showed how much they wanted the win with heavy hits and big moves. At one point it was like the ref had lost control as every member of each team took a part of getting in the ring to hit a move on another person it felt like it was to get the upper hand For there team. I’m the end Moose managed to hit his finisher.

The men also took on the women which surprised us as we don't usually set that in wrestling shows.


Moose, Myers and Purrazzo won


Match 4 Eddie Edwards vs Rhino


Rhino got the pop that we thought he would get when he come out. The crowed where behind Rhino the whole match. Both men showed they had what it took. They strolled to the outside and Rhino dropped Eddie on the top of his back on the edge or the ring apron Then he went to close line Eddie against the ring post but Eddie moved and Rhino went arm first in to the ring post. That got Eddie back in the match and he got the upper hand and managed to get his finisher.


Eddie Edwards wins


Match 5 Gisele Shaw vs Jordynne Grace


This match started off slow with both women showcasing their talent, the match started to gathered pace with both woman talking trash and telling the story that they needed to. Both woman shared the upper hand with the crowd being behind Jordynn the whole match. Gisele was making her UK return. Jordynn got the best of the upper hand and got her finisher.

Match 6 Trey Miguel vs Grado


We have both seen Grado's entrance before but wow wow wow that was something else he totally played on it with the crowd.


Miguel allowed gardo to take it in with the crowd. This was a back and forth match both men wanting the win. The match did strey out the ring, Miguel put Grado against the ring post and went to chop Grado but Grado moved and Miguel managed to stop himself from chopping the ring post but turned round into a chop from Grado, he then held Miguel so fans could chop him. Before they got back in the ring. Grado gets the better of the upper hands and gets his finisher.


A few it's yerself chants and Trey then gives it back to the crowd this was an awesome match and they both told the story that they needed to.


Grado wins


Grado put up the x that makes us think he is going after the x division championship and breaking news he said in the words of Scott Damore He's Back Baby



Match 7 Emersyn Jayne vs Trinty



Well, we didn't expect to see Trinity or Emerson tonight this was a very quick match with a few chants saying that Jayne was just a cheap Natalya. Both women gave it their all with sharing the upper hands with hard hits and big moves. It was Trinity that got the best of the upper hands.


Trinity wins


Match 8 finals Glasgow Cup Joe Hendry vs Frankie Kazarian


This was an awesome match back and forth and the crowd was mixed at one point there was a we will rock you chant for Joe. Kaz played up to the crowd really well when he got called wanker which goes on into the match with both men taking what the fans were chanting. Both men showed how much they wanted to win the Glasgow cup as both men but there all into it. Both men shared the upper hands and heavy hits and big moves. It was Joe that came our best getting his finisher.

Match 9 Motorcity Machine Gunns vs Josh Alexander & Eric Young


What a main event both teams were taking on the chants from the crowd and this played into the storytelling of the match. At one point during the match, there was a fan shouting walking weapon on his own, then the crowd started chanting for Motor City this went back and forth for a few minutes which happened at least twice and afterwards the loan fan was congratulated for keeping it going.


Both teams showed what they can do in the ring with the moves they were hitting. Both teams shared the upper hand on each other and at one point both men from Motor City looked as they where away to jump out the ring on to Eric but they landed on the apron and did a double kick. Both teams kept going back and forth for a while but it was Motor City Machine Guns who got the upper hand and hit there finisher.


The match it's self was awesome and both teams delivered the story that they needed to make the fans happy.


Motorcity Machine guns win


At the end of the match, Eric Young got on the mic and thanked the fans, and said this was like a second home to him. And loves how the British talent has developed.


Overall this was an amazing show and I’m glad we experienced it. You can’t pick a match of the night as they were all good. If you where there let us know your thoughts?
