Coastal Championship Wrestling “Alive” Episode 184 debuted Tuesday on YouTube. This episode’s matches were pre-taped at Bash at the Brew 38 from Unbranded Brewing Company in Hialeah, Florida on March 2, 2024. Here is what happened:
MATCH #1
BRIAN KENDRICK vs. CHRIS FARROW
Brian Kendrick started this match with an arm submission which Chris Farrow escaped and applied on Kendrick himself. Kendrick escaped and powdered, only to return moments later. An impressive display of chain wrestling ensued until Farrow reversed a whip into the corner by going up and over to set up consecutive arm drags and a drop kick that sent Kendrick right back out to ringside.
When Kendrick returned, he hit two knees to the midsection and whipped Farrow into the ropes. Farrow rebounded with a hurricanrana and a drop kick in rapid succession, then charged Kendrick in the corner. Kendrick lifted Farrow up and onto the apron where Farrow stunned Brian with an ensiguri.
Farrow sprung up to the second rope, but Kendrick managed to knock Farrow off with a kick. From there, Kendrick began to focus on the leg of Chris Farrow, driving Farrow’s knee into the mat, punching the knee, and twisting the leg mercilessly. All of this was to set up a figure four in the center of the ring that Farrow seemed helpless to escape.
After quite a while stuck in the submission, Farrow finally escaped and tossed Kendrick outside the ring. Farrow followed with a basement drop kick through the ropes, tossed Kendrick back inside, and hit a springboard splash from the apron for a near fall. Kendrick connected with an elbow to Farrow’s knee then charged Farrow in the corner, but Farrow got a boot up in Kendrick’s face.
Farrow resumed his assault by driving Kendricks face into his knee, then following with a dropkick and an attempted Sliced Bread. Kendrick blocked Farrow, hit a savate kick and went for Sliced Bread himself. This time, Farrow blocked, but got locked into a cross face on the mat soon after. Farrow managed to escape with a snap mare, but Kendrick was waiting with a kick to the head that finally set up a successful Sliced Bread.
Shockingly, Farrow kicked out at two after taking Kendrick’s finisher. Kendrick tried to drop an elbow on Chris, but Farrow moved and leapt up with a series of chops and an upper cut. Farrow hit a springboard moonsault and a leg lariat, then climbed to the top rope. Kendrick evaded the 450 splash and locked Farrow back into the cross face until, in a flash, Farrow rolled him over for the quick one, two, three.
WINNER: CHRIS FARROW
MATCH #2
Q.T. MARSHALL (c) vs. JACKAL STEVENS vs. ALEX CHAMBERLAIN
CCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Former CCW Heavyweight Champion Jackal Stevens could not wait to get started and attacked Alex Chamberlain before Q.T. Marshall was even introduced. Marshall waited until the Stevens/Chamberlain brawl reached the ramp, then stormed through the curtain and punched Chamberlain in the face.
Stevens and Marshall ganged up on Chamberlain once the action returned to the ring. However, after a double back elbow from Stevens and Marshall, Chamberlain rolled outside the ring and waited for the other two to turn on each other. Stevens and Marshall battled into one corner with Stevens using a series of kicks to get the crowd involved.
Once Stevens turned to engage with the crowd, Marshall flew out of the corner with a lariat. Marshall whipped Stevens into the corner, but Stevens came back with a Thesz press. At that same moment, Chamberlain re-entered the ring, kicked Stevens in the head, and tossed Marshall outside the ring.
Chamberlain hit a series of punches in the corner, then whipped Stevens across to the other corner. Stevens got a boot up as Chamberlain charged, then leapt to the second rope for a lariat to Marshall who had just climbed back up to the apron. Chamberlain charged again, but Stevens side-stepped and sent Chamberlain to the outside, as well.
Stevens hit a basement drop kick through the ropes to Marshall and Chamberlain and followed with a springboard plancha onto both men. Stevens threw Chamberlain back into the ring, but Chamberlain hit a back breaker to Stevens before Jackal could get all the way back in. Chamberlain went on the attack in one corner against Stevens and also managed to see that Marshall had climbed onto the apron and punched him back to the floor.
Returning his focus to Stevens, Chamberlain hit a series of cross face strikes and a knee drop before Marshall returned and made a beeline for Chamberlain. Marshall whipped Chamberlain into the corner and hit a drop kick, then reversed an Irish Whip with a front handspring ensiguri and called for the cutter.
Chamberlain escaped and countered with a belly-to-back suplex that sent Marshall back to the outside, then waited for Stevens to return and tossed Jackal over the top rope, as well. When Marshall returned, Chamberlain attacked the champion with a series of punches and forearm strikes, then locked Marshall in a front headlock.
Seconds later, Stevens returned and hit Chamberlain with a springboard back kick as Marshall, again, escaped to ringside. Jackal and Alex exchanged blows and ended up in one corner. Chamberlain lifted Stevens onto the top turnbuckle and joined Jackal up top for what looked to be a superplex. Stevens fought back and pushed Chamberlain off once, then Marshall ran in and power bombed everybody down to the mat after Alex climbed back up.
With everyone down on the mat, Marshall tried covering Stevens. Two count. Marshall covered Chamberlain. Another two count. Soon, all three men reset and stood face to face in the center of the ring. They alternated blows in a triangle pattern until Marshall clotheslined Alex and went for another handspring ensiguri. This time, Chamberlain saw it coming and reversed Marshall with a spinebuster that seemed certain to end the match.
However, Jackal Stevens made the save by grabbing the referee’s arm before it could strike the mat a third time. Chamberlain jumped up and struck Stevens in the throat. Stevens countered with a clothesline off of a whip, followed by a back elbow and a scoop slam.
Chamberlain rolled outside the ring as Marshall returned. Stevens lifted Marshall up for an Olympic Slam, but Marshall escaped with a modified sunset flip reversal. Marshall hit Stevens with a pop-up upper cut, then called for the cutter a second time. Stevens reversed Marshall’s finisher with a cross face in the center of the ring until Chamberlain pulled Marshall out of the ring by his leg to stop any chance of a Marshall submission.
Chamberlain neutralized Marshall by flinging him into the steel ring steps, then returned to the ring to face off with Stevens. They exchanged strikes until Alex hit another, normally illegal, throat shot and Stevens tried to counter with an Olympic Slam. Chamberlain escaped and leveled Stevens with a boot to the face. Chamberlain went for a lariat, but Marshall intercepted and tried to hit Alex with a cutter.
Chamberlain escaped the cutter and pushed Marshall directly into the path of a Jackal Stevens superkick. Marshall was propelled into the path of a Chamberlain lariat, but managed to duck. Instead, Chamberlain hit the lariat on Jackal Stevens, turned back around, and was finished off by a cutter from the champion.
WINNER: Q.T. MARSHALL
