This was the PHW Holiday Special. It would feature PHW's first intergender species match, as well as the final semi-final matches in the Champion of the Multiverse tournament.
R3 vs Beerzerker Alex Rudolph
R3 and the Beerzerker engaged in some smack talk and big man tactics early on.
I wasnt expecting R3 to be tossed outside, followed up with a Beerzerker dive to the floor. They made their way back into the ring, and took turns striking each other in the face until they both tired themselves out. To recoup, they each took a seat in the ring and played a game of take a shot, take a punch.
In the end, R3 got the win off a running Death Valley Driver.
Neil Diamond Cutter And Big Jake Garvin vs Johnny Saovi And Adan Reyes W/ Jeff Orcut
Saovi and NDC started things off pugilist style. NDC had some great offense including a senton while standing on the prone body of Reyes. Big Jake then powerbombed NDC onto reyes immediately after. The action ended up spilling to the floor as Big Jake threw NDC to the outside.
Jake then followed up with a dive to the outside.
Even with Neil and Jake's impressive offense, The Game Sharks got the win.
Allie Kat vs Tank Engine Thomas
PHW's first intergender species match kicked off with Allie Kat coming to the ring, followed by Tank Engine Thomas in the best Harambe themed gear.
Kat used her nails to her advantage by clawing TET's back, Kat Scratch Fever? She also taunted TET by saying, "He's gonna sleep like Harambe did!" Too soon Kat, too soon.
Kat was able to get the win via a heel pin w/ her foot on the ropes, which the ref didn't see.
The Milf Hunters vs The Hooligans
Jack Jameson and Steve'O Reno advised The Hooligans once both teams were in the ring. They need to do their pre-match dance ritual.
The Hooligans jumped The Milf Hunters and the match took place in and out of the ring.
It was take-home-a-wrestler night at Party Hard Wrestling.
The Milf Hunters secured their win via a tandem blockbuster.
Intermission
Joe Vernola announced he was raising money for charity. $1 for a chop to the chest, $5 for a slap to the face. Several fans donated.
He didnt expect wrestlers to get in on the action as well.
Ray Basura vs Shane Marvel
Basura initiated some "Trash" talking with Marvel.
There was some great action including a Marvel dive from the top rope, to Basura on the arena floor....sorry no pics of that. Marvel locked in a crossface for the win.
The Josh Carey vs Exciting Evan Daniels
This was the first semi-final of the Party Hard Champion Of The Multiverse Tournament. Carey was getting under the skin of Daniels while preparing for his bout.
And preparing.
And preparing.
Preparation!
Carey used the turnbuckles to wound Daniel's hand, he tried exposing the turnbuckle however Daniel's reversed it and Carey was hoisted by his own petard. Daniels pinned using the ropes and got a 2 count once Referee "Not Scott Johnson" saw the heelish tactic. Carey followed up with his own rope assited pin to which Referee "Not Scott Johnson" exclaimed "You too?!?"
R3 made a return to the ring and laid out The Josh Carey. Giving Carey the win by DQ, meaning he moves on to the Party Hard Champion Of The Multiverse Tournament finals.
Super Nick Tendo vs Daniel Sanchise
This was the final semi-final of the Party Hard Champion Of The Multiverse Tournament. The winner would face The Josh Carey at next months Party Hard show, Partymania. Tendo entered the ring.
Sanchise was announced....but wasn't there. By way of forfeit, Tendo was awarded the win and would be advancing to the finals.
However, in an emotional show of determination. Tendo announed his recent life tragedy. His 6 year old son recently lost his mother in a motorcyle accident. In spite of this, Tendo traveled 6 hours to wrestle, and wouldn't accept a win by default, and demanded he face an opponent.
Enter EJ Sparks.
EJ came out to answer the call. After a shake of hands, they faced off.

There was a lot of counters on counters, some great action between Tendo and Sparks.
After Tendo's code breaker variant, Tendo got the win and was shown respect from Sparks and the rest of the PHW crowd.
Jack Jameson was announced as the Main Event for Partymania against Joey Ryan!
Mason and Jax vs Pete Petriselli and Jay Garland
This was billed as a Tensil Town Street Fight and boy was it ever. I will follow up for the ending, for now enjoy what I was able to document.
Sweet Pete was bleeding something fierce. Mason and Jax had Garland set up for a tandem move, Pete superkicked, Garland was able to counter the power bomb into a Hurricanrana for the win. Both teams gave it their all, this was one of the craziest matches i have seen in person.
The Charity
Joe Vernola returned to the ring and raised a few more dollars, as well as welts on his chest. He then stated, he was going to announce the charity he was collecting for.
He asked Super Nick Tendo to please come to the ring.
Vernola explained he, and everyone else wanted to do what they could to help with providing Christmas to his son. I didnt get any pics during this time, but I was so glad to be party to this very unselfish act. Vernola literally suffered for Nick Tendo tonight. He was almost in tear's after a savage chop from R3.
Nick Tendo admitted to the crowd, his son was a huge motivator in him wrestling. It was a very tearful and heartfelt exchange.
All in all it was one of the best wrestling shows I have been to. I am looking forward to Partymania and hope to see you there as well.
