CORE Pro #113 Thanksgiving Tussle '22 11/24/22 Kingston Armory - Kingston, Pennsylvania Attendance: 1,902

- The show opened with an announcement at ringside by new CORE head of longterm creative John Williams. John explained that on Christmas Day, CORE would be celebrating their traditional Pro-Wrestling Yankee Swap. John Williams told the crowd the rules are "really quite simple." The survivors of the final two matches on tonight's card will have their names placed in gift boxes, depending on the number of survivors there will be between three and five Yankee Swap matches on the Christmas Day live event in Bethlehem. Three outside wrestlers have been retained on an "at large" basis if needed depending on the number of survivors. For example, if there are three survivors there will be three "at large" entrants to make a total of three matches. If there are four survivors there will be only two "at large" entrants to make three matches. And so on up to ten survivors with no "at large" entrants to make five matches. The Yankee Swap will take place immediately after the main event of tonight's card.

Miami Sweet Heat have been eliminated. - Tandem offense from VXT as Chelsea Green and Deonna Purrazzo hit the Due Collector on Chelsea Durden followed by a cover from Deonna. The Coven have been eliminated. - Lady Flammer connected with the double underhook facebuster on Rache Chanel to put her side up four teams to three.

VXT have been eliminated. - Billie Starkz hooked Queen Aminata for a fisherman’s suplex, but Aminata freed her leg and countered with a running Air Raid Crash and got the three count. Billie Starkz and Kenzie Paige have been eliminated. - Starkz and Kenzie Paige were furious after their elimination and attacked Queen Aminata. Skye Blue was first in to help her partner, but was double teamed by Starkz and Kenzie. Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering tried to come to their aid but were held off and outnumbered by Athena, Raychell Rose, Masha Slamovich, and Janai Kai. CORE officials finally got Starkz and Kenzie out of the ring, and Athena shamelessly took full advantage of the opportunity when she covered Skye Blue and eliminated her team. Skye Blue and Queen Aminata have been eliminated. - Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering strived to survive with frequent tags, but they were outmatched and Ellering soon found herself isolated. A spear from Raychell Rose into a lungblower from Athena was the beginning of the end, as Athena then locked the crossface on Ellering who was made to tap out. Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering have been eliminated. Survivors: Athena and Raychell Rose & Masha Slamovich and Janai Kai

Match #3 5-on-5 Strive To Survive

Ricky Morton, PCO, Rob Van Dam, Dustin Rhodes, and Christopher Daniels vs. Kerry Morton, Nick Wayne, Starboy Charlie, Marcus Mathers, and Brogan Finlay - Christopher Daniels went for the Best Moonsault Ever on Starboy Charlie, but Nick Wayne followed him up and countered with a release dragon suplex off the top rope. Starboy Charlie made the cover to give his team the early advantage. Christopher Daniels has been eliminated. - Dustin Rhodes went for the running bulldog headlock on Kerry Morton, but Kerry pushed Dustin toward Morton’s corner where Rhodes was met with step up kicks to the face. Kerry Morton rolled Rhodes up with a handful of pleather. Dustin Rhodes has been eliminated. - Ricky Morton tagged in to the match and at every opportunity the opposing team would take Ricky to his own corner so he could tag out. Their strategy appeared to be leaving Ricky Morton until last so it could be five on one. There was a slight wrinkle to that plan when PCO tagged in and Brogan Finlay overestimated his power when he charged at PCO with a lariat. PCO shrugged off the blow and chokeslammed Finlay before pinning him. Brogan Finlay has been eliminated. - Starboy Charlie went for the reverse rana on PCO, but PCO held on, lifted Charlie back on his shoulders, and planted Starboy with an electric chair drop. PCO climbed to the top and hit the moonsault press on Starboy to even things up at 3 vs. 3. Starboy Charlie has been eliminated.

- With the tide beginning to turn, Billie Starkz ran to ringside and attempted to pass a chain to Kerry Morton but was intercepted by referee Melissa Stripes. However on the opposite side of the ring Kenzie Paige had made her way through the crowd and passed two chains to Nick Wayne and Marcus Mathers. Mathers and Wayne double teamed PCO with the chains until RVD and Ricky Morton made the save. This unfortunately left PCO open to be covered by Kerry Morton. PCO has been eliminated. - Marcus Mathers went for the 450 Splash on Rob Van Dam, but RVD got the knees up. RVD hit the Five Star Frogsplash to make this two vs. two. Marcus Mathers has been eliminated. - With the help of their chains from earlier, Nick Wayne and Kerry Morton had gotten the better of RVD and isolated him in their corner. But RVD broke free and made the rolling hot tag to Ricky Morton…only to have his opponents bail to the outside. When Wayne and Kerry got an advantage on Ricky Morton, rather than isolate him they again tossed him toward his own corner so he’d tag out and they could save Ricky for last. RVD connected with a big diving kick to Kerry Morton but turned around right into a springboard cutter from Nick Wayne. Rob Van Dam has been eliminated. - Kerry Morton and Nick Wayne pummeled Ricky Morton; they showed little interest in ending the match and instead inflicted as much punishment as possible. Kerry Morton lifted his bloodied father up into position for a piledriver as Nick Wayne climbed to the top rope to spike Ricky Morton. But Ricky Morton slipped free and back body dropped his son into the corner which caused Nick Wayne to get crotched on the top turn buckle. Nick Wayne crumbled to the mat and Ricky Morton covered him for the three count. Nick Wayne has been eliminated. - His son charged at him with a clothesline, but Ricky ducked under and countered with a backslide. Kerry got his shoulder up and this would be the last offense Ricky Morton could mount. Kerry Morton applied the sleeper hold to his bloody and battered father, who quickly faded. The crowd rallied behind Ricky Morton, who began to show some signs of life. So Kerry Morton transitioned to a rear naked choke and choked his father unconscious in the middle of the ring. Kerry refused to let go of the choke, his teammates held CORE officials off as Ricky Morton began to turn blue. Finally the locker room emptied and Kerry Morton relinquished the choke and left the ringside area with his stablemates. Ricky Morton has been eliminated. Sole Survivor: Kerry Morton

- As Ricky Morton was tended to Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission physician Dr. Frank Romascavage, “Wrestling Goddess” Athena was filmed by the merch tables as she complimented “Queen” Raychell Rose on the job she has done serving under her since April. Raychell seemed to bristle slightly at this characterization, but Athena said that she decided to reward Rose by finding a new queen to take over some of Raychell’s duties. Athena said that earlier tonight, this person scored one of the biggest wins of her career only to have her partner immediately squander it by getting pinned. Athena brought over Queen Aminata and a new alliance was apparently formed.

Match #4 5-on-5 Strive To Survive

The Last Wave (Josh Alexander, Titus Alexander, Mr. Takeshita) & Ethan Page and "Speedball" Mike Bailey vs. Mysterious Q, FOR, JJ, White Rabbit, and Naptown Dragon - JJ tried for the top rope falcon arrow on Mr. Takeshita, but Takeshita pushed JJ off and connected with a flying Baba chop to the top of JJ’s head. JJ got back to his feet and was met with a jumping knee strike from Mr. Takeshita and pinned. JJ has been eliminated. - Ethan Page tried for the Twist Of Fate on Mysterious Q, but Q blocked it and lifted Page up into torture rack position before spinning Ethan Page out into a powerbomb for the move he now calls The Q Drop. Ethan Page has been eliminated. - White Rabbit tried for a Saito suplex on Titus Alexander, but Alexander landed on his feet. White Rabbit turned around into a Michinoku Driver from Titus and was pinned. White Rabbit has been eliminated. - “Speedball” Mike Bailey had Mysterious Q in position for his shooting star knee drop, but FOR yanked on Bailey’s leg and crotched him on the top turnbuckle. Q got back to his feet and connected with a cutter off the top rope and evened things up at 3 vs. 3. "Speedball" Mike Bailey has been eliminated. - The Naptown Dragon went for the Kudo Driver on Josh Alexander, but Alexander countered into the Tomikaze. Josh Alexander rolled through into a deadlift German suplex and the bridging pin. Naptown Dragon has been eliminated. - FOR charged at Titus Alexander in the corner with a running European uppercut, but Alexander moved out of the way and FOR drove himself sternum first into the top turnbuckle. Titus Alexander hit the Chaos Theory on FOR and made it 3 on 1. FOR has been eliminated. - As The Last Wave picked apart Mysterious Q, JJ and FOR returned to ringside and pulled Titus Alexander and Josh Alexander off the ring apron. Titus and Josh soon gained the upperhand and began to tear away at the masks of JJ and FOR. Titus Alexander tore open the eye portal on JJ’s mask to reveal Bobby Fish. Following a tombstone on the arena floor, Josh Alexander ripped off FOR’s mask to reveal Biff Busick.

- Naptown Dragon ran out to apparently make the save, but when Josh and Titus turned their attention to him, his true intentions became clear as White Rabbit slid into the ring and went for a running forearm to the back of Mr. Takeshita’s head. The devious Mr. Takeshita anticipated this tactic and White Rabbit was instead met with a savate kick. When Titus and Josh turned their attention back to the ring they were met with a sneak attack from DJ Karl Fredericks and Colby Corino who had hopped the railing. Mr. Takeshita tore away at the mask of The White Rabbit but he was low blowed from behind by Chelsea Green. Mysterious Q picked Takeshita up in torture rack position, but Takeshita elbowed his way out. Mr. Takeshita threw salt in the eyes of Chelsea Green and connected with a big Jumbo knee lift on Mysterious Q before making the cover. Mysterious Q has been eliminated.

Survivors: Josh Alexander, Titus Alexander, and Mr. Takeshita

- A helicopter could be heard landing on the baseball diamond behind the Kingston Armory. The camera followed as Biff Busick, DJ Karl Fredericks, The White Rabbit, Chelsea Green, Colby Corino, and The Naptown Dragon climbed inside. Before they could close the helicopter door, Bobby Fish tried to get in too. Those inside held Fish off, finally being pushed to the infield grass by The Naptown Dragon as the helicopter began to take flight with the door still open. The helicopter ascended into the night sky with the door hanging open and what appeared to be the Naptown Dragon struggling to close it. Somewhere over the Susquehanna River a figure could be seen falling from the helicopter and into the water below.

- Bob Dylan’s version of “Here Comes Santa Claus” played over the PA as The Man With The Bag himself, Santa Claus made his way to the ring accompanied by CORE owner Jawad Yatim for the Pro-Wrestling Yankee Swap. Santa Claus pulled six gifts from his bag and invited three young CORE fans into the ring. The first young fan opened their present containing the name Josh Alexander. The second fan selected their present which contained the name of KENTA, one of the at-large participants. KENTA then joined the festivities via ZOOM. The third fan picked their gift and it contained the name Titus Alexander. It was now time for Josh Alexander to make his selection, and his gift held the name Kerry Morton. Via ZOOM, KENTA selected one of the two remaining presents and it was unwrapped to reveal Abdullah Kobayashi. KENTA swapped his choice to Josh Alexander for Kerry Morton. Titus Alexander unwrapped the final gift and got Mr. Takeshita, and after some deliberation decided to keep him.

- CORE owner Jawad Yatim thanked everyone for a successful 2022, but announced that he had made the difficult decision to sell CORE. Yatim said that his original plan when he purchased CORE was to ultimately relocate the promotion to his native Massachusetts. But after seeing the passion of the Coal Region fans, he has decided to sell CORE to a native, dyed in the wool Pennsylvanian. The new owner will introduce themselves to the fans on Christmas night in Bethlehem, and 2023 could be the biggest year in CORE history. Artificial snow began to fall inside the Kingston Armory.
