Wrestlers Show Holiday Spirt in St. Pete

​St. Petersburg, Fla - Several wrestlers from different promotions across the globe all gathered to bring holiday cheer to fans in the Tampa Bay Area as they hosted the fifth annual charity event, Hope for the Holidays, at Cage Brewing in St. Petersburg as part of The Christmas Toy Shop Project.


Braxton Jones vs TJ Brady vs Israel Reaper vs Damien Jemini vs Winston Bentley III vs *Dick Danger (Ugly Christmas Sweater Scramble for the Brawl Social Media Championship):


The show would open with Dick Danger defending the Brawl Social Media Championship. All six wrestlers wanted to prove a point as they all hit their signature moves and toppled on top of one another. In the end, Danger would come out on as he hit a diving splash on all five challengers to retain his championship.


Matt Sydal vs Ikii:

Both wrestlers showcased a significant amount of technical skill and speed. Ikii would try to mount a comeback against the former Ring of Honor, New Japan and WWE tag team champion, but Sydal would come out as the victor after he hit Ikii with a roundhouse kick for the pinfall.


Bad and Bougiee (Lexi Gomez and Katalina Perez) vs Dojo Hunters (Thor Borrensen and Ryan the Sensei) vs Vice and Violence (Ray Elliot and Yuni Vice)[Triple Threat Tag Team Match]

Gomez and Perez would put at a disadvantage being the only women’s tag team in the match and were not given a chance to make a tag in the match. 

Eventually,Gomez would make the tag and go on the offense before Perez stepped in. In the end, Gomez and Pete would hit a double powerbomb on Borrensen to win the match.

The Gifted (Logan Cruz and Leeroy Shogun) vs David Mercury and Jay Lethal:

Lethal and Mercury would get the crowd hype, but Shogun and Cruz would not have any of it and began to attack the team. At one point, Shogun would handcuff Lethal to the bottom rope, but then it would backfire as Lethal would turn the tables and handcuff Shogun. From there, Mercury and Lethal would get Cruz to admit he loves crepes as he tapped out to a Figure 4 Leg Lock/armbar combo.

Drennen vs Big Kon (Merry Mayhem Match):

Kon would start strong and continue to put the offense on Drennen not just in the ring, but outside the ring too.

Drennen would try to get some offense by landing a few shots with a kendo stick, but it would barely faze Kon. Eventually, Rocky Radley would intervene and lay out sleigh bells, but Kon would add to the fire by adding large Lego blocks before hitting Drenne with a choke slam on the both objects for the win.

Simon Sez vs The Cheese:

See and his team pandered to the crowd about his dislike for the holidays until The Cheese (dressed up as Santa Claus) would accept the challenge of playing Simon Says. After Sez told Cheese to lay down for the pin, Cheese would put the role in reverse with a roll up of his own to win the match while giving away presents to the fans.

Xander Maddox vs Baby Keef vs Chris Malachite vs Puma Johnson (Miami Boyz 4 Way):

All four members of the Miami Boyz would bring joy to the fans by singing Christmas carols before their match. Eventually they would hit their signature moves on each other, in the end Maddox would walk away with win after a roll up pin on Johnson.

Tyson Malrick vs Serpentico:

In the main event, Malrick and Serpentico would first entertain the crowd by doing the Macarena before Serpentico would turn his back to the fans with a flurry of offense. Malrick would return the favor of offense but it would not be enough as Serpentico would win the match before all the participants closed the show by doing a group Macarena dance.
