Series Finale

The feud between Los Chivos and La Ola Del Mal has heated up in recent months. They have faced each other in multiple tag matches, shedding blood, sweat, and tears trying to prove to one another who the better luchador tag team is in the EWF. This time they would take a different approach in competition, putting La Ola Del Mal's Black Metal with his manager, Suavecito, and Los Chivos' Kayam, with brother Enigma De Oro in his corner, in a one on one match. The match started at a slow pace with Metal showing his brute strength against Kayam. Kayam would come back with multiple arm drags to wear the big luchador down. At one point, Black Metal goes to take a breather, Kayam follows with an impressive springboard headscissor to the outside. The match heated up more on the outside when Black Metal grabbed a chair. Seconds later, Enigma grabbed the chair from Metal's hands giving the ref a good oppurtunity to question Enigma for having a chair in his hands. Meanwhile Suavecito tosses Black Metal another chair which his swung right into Kayam's skull, laying him out on the floor. Metal gets back in the ring and allows the ref to count out Kayam for the win.

Winner: Black Metal

EWF's super heavyweight rookie, Country Bear, has been easily embraced by the audience by effortlessly putting smiles on each and every one of their faces with his heart-warming charisma. On this night, there were no smiles, but all business, when he went against Dave The Bruiser. Dave attacked the country boy before he was even announced. He stayed on top of him with clubbing blows to the back and a devastating spear. Country got back on the offense by applying a bear hug which was quickly countered by Dave with an ear clap. When Dave thought he had this match in the bag, he climbed up the turnbuckle. Country caught him off guard by placing big Dave on his shoulders and delivering a monstrous samoan drop for the three-count

Winner: Country Bear

Sonny Samson has been desperately trying to gain an oppurtunity against Ryan Taylor for a Cruiserweight Title match. Even though this was a non-title match, this was indeed a step in the right direction for Starr Inc's self proclaimed cruiserweight sensation. It was shocking to see how well Samson adapted to the cruiserweight style by keeping up with Taylor at such a quick pace. Taylor got the best of Samson in the early going but with the help from Starr Inc. on the outside, they would provide enough distractions for Sonny Samson to steal a victory over the cruiserweight champion. Samson celebrated his win holding Taylor's championship. Taylor didn't hesitate to remind Samson and the rest of Starr Inc. that it was a non-title match and that he is still the champion. Johnny Starr grabbed the mic and made a challenge to Taylor to put his Cruiserweight Championship on the line at the next show against "Sexy" Sonny Samson. Ryan Taylor accepted the challenge on the condition that Sonny Samson puts his contract with Starr Inc. on the line as well. After a little bit of hesitation on the part of Samson, he accepted and then delivered a cheap shot to Taylor with his own championship belt.

Winner: "Sexy" Sonny Samson

Midnight Dynamite's Johnny Paradise went to discuss his reasoning for putting Jason King on the shelf, but before he could do so, Jesse Hernandez came out and fined him 500 dollars for his actions. From out of no where comes former EWF announcer J. Biggs who tells Jesse that he has more say so than him when it comes to the EWF and presents Midnight Dynamite a check for 750 dollars to take Jesse out. Paradise and Mercury brutally stomp the owner of EWF as J. Biggs looks on in approval. T.N.T. rushes to Jesse's aid and starts the match. It was back and forth action between the two teams. Paradise and Mercury appeared to be the most dominant, using quick tags and double team moves to ground Brandon Nitro. Nitro finally makes the tag to Johnny Dynamite, who cleared the ring with hard hitting clotheslines that send both men running for the hills. Nitro follows both men with an amazing backflip dive to the outside. Back in the ring are Johnny Dynamite and Charles Mercury. Dynamtie scores with his finishing maneuver thats sets him up perfectly for Nitro to hit a 450 splash for the win.

Winners: Brandon Nitro & Johnny Dynamite

TJ Perkins vs Joey Harder

It was finally here. The final match in the Inland Title Series between finalists Joey Harder and TJ Perkins. The two started off with a hand shake, surprisingly initiated by Joey. The two battled it out on the mat where Perkins kept getting the upper hand on Harder. It seemed at times Perkins was just toying with Harder by making every counter look simple and letting the fans know it. A frustrated Harder questioned TJ's respect for the match by asking him if he was a clown or a wrestler and at that point it was all business from there. The two go to the mat yet again but this time Joey is on the offense and stays there for quite some time. As Joey was moments away from taking this match Perkins cam back with unbelievable speed and gained a ton of momentum with fierce kicks to the leg and back. It seemed like it was TJ's match until Joey applied his signature Lion Tamer. On this night, Perkins heart was too big to tap out so quickly. After suffering and suffering, he manged to grab the ropes to break the hold. Joey sent him to the ropes and Perkins shocked fans with a hurricanrana that was quickly countered into another Lion Tamer from Harder, this time in the middle of the ring forcing TJ to submit.

Winner: Joey Harder

Bino Gambino (C) vs Joey Harder

The two men went right at it. It started out as a brawl, both men have just gone through grueling matches earlier that night. The crowd seemed to be behind Harder. His new attitude won the fans over. Harder is as intense as you can get, but now that he is feeding off the energy from the crowed, he is deadly. Joey took Bino to the limit but Bino finally managed to grab the upper hand and work Joey over. Bino stayed on Joey hoping to retain his title for the second time of the night. Gambino had Harder down and gave him a Springboard Moonsault but was kicked out of. Bino gave him another one, but Harder still kicked out. Bino attempts a third and Joey was able to get the knees up and get back on the offense. Harder may have had the match one with his modified Brainbuster, but Bino kicked out of that making Harder question what he needed to do to beat the champ here, tonight. All of the sudden, Joey's tag team partner, Hook Bomberry, ran out and started throwing any chair he could find into the ring. As the ref attempts to clean up the violent mess the challenger's partner made, Hook slides in the ring with the title belt. At this point Bino has his back turned to Hook while having Harder in a waist lock but as Hook goes to swing the belt to hit Gambino, Bino turns around only to have Joey recieve the shot from his own partner. After that happened, a look of apathy showed on the face of Hook. He didn't seem to care at all that he almost cost his partner the championship. No one knew what to make of it. After realizing what had almost happened, Bino chases Hook out of the ring and out of the building. Bino slides back in the ring and deliovers a Binomite to Harder. Joey Harder then kicks out of Bino's finisher. A frustrated Gambino looks to apply it again, but is countered to a Lion Tamer from Joey. Bino shakes the challenger off and both men go to collide but Harder quickly applies the hold again! Bino shakes the deadly submission off once more. Both men make it to their feet and Bino charges at Joey a third time. Harder double legs Gambino and applies the Lion Tamer but this time he has it cinched in and in dead center of the ring. The champ did all he could to stay in the fight but had no choice but to tap out.

Winner and new EWF Champion: Joey Harder
