1) JACK SWAGGER versus ED LEWIS
(submission match)
versus 
Suplex/chain-wrestling seminar. Incredibly impactful and hard-hitting. BCCW “Know the Ledge” becomes the first PPV to lead off with an instant 5-Star Classic. In the immortal words of the IWC’s biggest BCCW fanboy:
quote:
Some slower mat-based stuff got us started, but before long, we were clicking along at a brisk clip. The final 10 minutes or so of this match was off-the-charts fantastic, too, with tons of reversals of submission moves. Swagger kicked out of an angle-slam while The Strangler was able to reverse or reach the ropes while in a couple of ankle locks. Swagger, for his part, escaped a number of crossfaces and an ankle lock, and also kicked out after a big time swandive headbutt. The final portion of the match had Lewis escape a regular ankle lock, only to have Swagger counter with a sort of super-duper ankle lock that was augmented with a sort of leg scissors to trap Lewis’ leg and make it harder to reverse or reach the ropes. Realizing there was no out, The Strangler finally tapped out (one time like Fedor Emelianenko) at about the 25 minute mark. Swagger celebrated and received a standing ovation from the crowd on his way out. “Five star" classic this was some damn fine TV. The last half of the match was spectacular. Seeing such wide-ranging arsenals executed at full speed was a special treat.

Winner: JACK SWAGGER (via Ankle Lock submission)
2) LIZZY BORDEN versus ALEXXIS NEVAEH versus SAMMI LANE (w/ “Adorable” Adrian Adonis)
World Women’s Wrestling Championship Match
versus
versus
The sleeper hit match of the night was a Triple Threat between World Women's Wrestling Champion ALEXXIS NEVAEH, porn magnate LIZZY BORDEN and the delicious SAMMI LANE (w/ “Adorable” Adrian Adonis). The 3 women amazed in a display of pin point synchronicity with “Adorable” Adrian Adonis adding another layer of panache to the proceedings. He even had LIZZY BORDEN getting briefly cheered when she took off the top rope with a flying body press to the fat man while he stood on the arena floor. Near the end of the match, a Stratusfaction attempt from LIZZY on SAMMI was prevented when SAMMI threw her into the corner and out of the ring. With Sammi Lane briefly exerted, ALEXXIS NEVAEH hit a thunderous tornado DDT for the victory. Alexxis retains the WWW championship.
Winner (and STILL World Women’s Wrestling champion): ALEXXIS NEVAEH

quote:
This is universally acknowledged as the greatest match ever, the third chapter of the holy trinity of wrestling matches, and of course no one is going to watch or not watch this based on my saying so. But here it is anyway.
Of course, the backstory here is well-known: they had their first match at “City of Champions” and Thesz won by DQ, but Wolfe & Lewis nearly crippled him with piledrivers on the cement floor. This is a Best 2 out of 3 Falls Match, and if the match goes to anything but a pinfall or submission, judges will determine the winner. MSD explains the judges will force both men to be more offensively minded. The match is being “scored” on ten-minute intervals, according to the commentary, and MSD gets periodic updates about how the match is being scored. So involved in this match, you have the best commentator, referee, babyface, and wrestler all involved.
Thesz and Wolfe exchange chops early on, and the crowd is cheering rabidly for both men. After the amazing match these two had previously it was really impossible for Wolfe to be the heel. Practically all of Wolfe’s offense revolves around weakening Thesz’ neck to set up a lariat - the move which won Wolfe his BCCW debut at “Respect the Shooters & Hookers”. Wolfe tries to control Thesz with a side headlock, but Thesz escapes with a wristlock, taking Wolfe down and working his arm. Wolfe escapes the hold, but Thesz catches him with a deep arm-drag and goes back to an armbar, which he turns that into a hammerlock. Wolfe counters that with a drop toe-hold, but Thesz reverses back into the hammerlock, dropping a knee on Wolfe’s arm. Thesz works Desmond into a near fall but eventually Wolfe gets to his feet and german suplexes Thesz. Just when it seems like Wolfe will have the advantage, Thesz takes him down again and goes back to the armbar.
Wolfe creates an opening with some right hands and chops. Desmond tees off on Thesz with punches to the midsection and forearms to the back. Thesz comes back with a series of chops, dropping Wolfe and he goes back to the armbar. Lou Thesz turns the armbar into a hammerlock, then flips over Wolfe, bridging back and pulling on his arm! Desmond Wolfe manages to maneuver Thesz with a fireman’s carry, placing him in the corner. Wolfe charges in, but Thesz jumps over him and dropkicks him to the floor at the ten-minute mark. At this point, the judges have all scored the match for Thesz, who wins the first fall with a keylock arm submission.
Wolfe takes his time getting back into the ring, then goes low with a kick to Thesz’s stomach. This doesn’t slow Thesz, as he catches Wolfe with another deep armdrag and goes back to the arm with an armbar, then an arm-ringer. Wolfe breaks free, gets floored with a Thesz press, but catches Lou with a hiptoss. Wolfe gets some LOUD boos for that, then misses an elbow, and guess what Thesz comes back with? A deep armdrag and an armbar. It’s called psychology and these two are the best at it.
Wolfe backs Thesz into the corner and chops away, which seems to slow Thesz down. Wolfe has literally chopped Thesz all the way around the ring. Thesz finally starts to comeback with some chops of his own, but Wolfe comes back with a tackle and tosses Thesz to the floor. Thesz just comes right back in after Wolfe, chopping his head in the corner. Thesz whips Wolfe into the other corner, and Wolfe gets hooked ass over teakettle in the corner. Wolfe gets free and dodges a charging Thesz, sending him over the top rope and to the floor. One of the marks in the front row is actually pushing Thesz back into the ring! Wolfe goes to the floor with Thesz and chops The Undisputed Champion over the barricade, then drops an elbow on the champion’s throat. Wolfe breaks the ref’s count up, but when Desmond goes back to Thesz, the champion comes back at him, pretty much like The Terminator. Thesz chases Wolfe back into the ring, nails him with a chop off the top rope, rams Desmond’s head into the mat, chops him down again and finally GOES BACK TO THE ARMBAR.
Wolfe gets free again, and Thesz tries a running crossbody, but Desmond ducks and Thesz flies out to the floor. Desmond Wolfe hasn’t been able to generate any offense of his own, unless Thesz makes a mistake. Wolfe drops a knee on Thesz. Lou & Desmond exchange some chops, but Wolfe is able to hold the advantage this time and drop Thesz with a back suplex (on his injured neck) for FOUR near falls before Wolfe gives up on trying to get the pin. Another picture-perfect kneedrop from Wolfe, and the crowd is BOOING Desmond again. We’re now past the 20-minute mark, and Wolfe gets another near fall from a double-underhook suplex. After an elbowdrop and another near fall, Wolfe argues with the referee. Thesz goes for a crossbody, but Wolfe catches him with a stun-gun. The crowd pops for Wolfe, but he can’t’ cover Thesz who is too close to the ropes. Wolfe takes the match to the floor and suplexes Thesz on the concrete for the count-out victory (winning the second fall).
They’ve collected the scorecards again, and now the judges have scored the second ten minutes for Wolfe. But according to MSD, Thesz will win the match 3-2 in the event of any kind of non-decision, like a double count-out. Wolfe tries to suplex Thesz back in the ring, but Lou slides out of that and rolls up Wolfe for a near fall. Wolfe & Thesz both go over the top. Thesz gets in first, and when Wolfe tries to enter from the top rope, Thesz catches him and slams him to the floor. More chops from Thesz and a high back-body drop. Thesz gets a near-fall off a cradle, then superplexes Wolfe. This sets Wolfe up for the STF, but Desmond gets to the ropes before he can lock it in. Thesz rams Wolfe’s head into the turnbuckle, then comes off the top with a chop. It looks like Thesz has this match won, but when he goes to the top again, Wolfe falls into the ropes and Thesz crashes from the top rope to the arena floor. Thesz comes up holding his left knee and neck, and now Wolfe has a target. We’re 28 minutes in and up to this point, Wolfe hasn’t touched Thesz’s leg, but now it might as well have a bullseye on it. Desmond kicks away at his leg, then uses a delayed vertical suplex to bring him back into the ring. Thesz is selling the leg and Wolfe locks on the figure-four. Wolfe gets a couple of near-falls off the figure-four as we pass the 30-minute mark.
Thesz gets the ropes to break the hold. He gets to his feet in the corner, but Wolfe just wails away on the leg with kicks and punches. Thesz counters with chops and an enziguri, popping the crowd. Thesz goes for a slam, but Wolfe shifts his weight and rolls Thesz into a cradle (a la Steamboat at WrestleMania III, actually, a fact nobody points out). Wolfe hooks Lou’s tights, since his left leg is useless and holds him down for the pinfall (Wolfe pins Thesz, ***** 31:30). There is so much to love about this match.
Winner (and NEW Undisputed Champion): DESMOND WOLFE

But the match isn’t over yet! Cue “Sell Out” by Reel Big Fish –
RYAN “WHITE FLASH” DANGERFIELD is out to cash in his Money-in-the-Bank briefcase! He challenges Desmond Wolfe to an impromptu title defense right now!!!
DESMOND WOLFE versus RYAN DANGERFIELD (Undisputed Championship Match)
A few brief “hope” spots to draw on the crowds energy and surprise, but Ryan Dangerfield quickly comes under fire from the English shooter and after a few crushing suplex/chair combinations, Ryan Dangerfield jobs out to the new (and now “reigning”) Undisputed champion. Desmond Wolfe soaks in the crowd’s venom and poses over the body of Dangerfield.
Winner (and STILL Undisputed Champion): DESMOND WOLFE
