Show Highlights
-After a month-and-a-half of grueling competition befitting of Retro, the respective title tournaments concluded and new champions were crowned on this program. However, a controversial ending marred the Gilmore-Plinko Men’s World title match. The moment in question was shown as follows:
—
{ At the 15:00 mark, the match between Johnny Gilmore and Petey Plinko was at its zenith. Both men looked battered and exhausted as the crowd ate up the moments of offense from the pair. Eventually, as Plinko was about to set Johnny up for his patented "Double Showcase Winner" superkick, with referee Pink Loafers looking on... }
Donnie DeMuro: Wait a second here--!!
James Gilmore: That's...you gotta be KIDDIN' me!!
Donnie DeMuro: That's Stephen Terrella and Portia!
James Gilmore: Aww, what're they DOIN' here!?!
{ Terrella blindsides Plinko from behind, knocking him to the ground. As the bell sounds, Terrella starts raining down left hands on Plinko's head and neck. The King stands, shoving Pink Loafers onto his backside in order to get to Johnny. Dragging Johnny to his feet, Terrella puts him into position for a powerbomb, and then drives Johnny practically through the canvas! Hanging onto the hold, Terrella pulls Johnny up and bashes him into the canvas with another powerbomb! Not satisfied there, Terrella hoists Johnny up one more time, rushing into the corner and obliterating the elder brother with a bucklebomb! }
James Gilmore: That's my BROTHER, dammit!
Donnie DeMuro: Get Otto, get security, get SOMEBODY out here on the double!
{ The King asks Portia for a chair, and she screams at one of the Retro employees sitting at ringside to get up so she can fetch her man one. She slides the chair into the ring. Terrella positions Johnny's neck inside the chair, leaving him prone on the canvas. Looking up at James, Terrella gives him two middle fingers, then hops up on the middle turnbuckle, preparing to leap off and stomp down on the chair. Holding his arms wide, daring James Gilmore into the ring, Terrella lingers on the turnbuckle. Portia encourages Stephen to "break his neck" as Johnny lays battered, fatigued and helpless. }
Donnie DeMuro: JJ, what're you--!?!
James Gilmore: 'Scuse me!
{ James, taking up for his older brother Johnny, slams his headset down and rushes into towards ringside. He's able to grab Johnny and the chair, pulling both out safely to the arena floor. Dickies Arena is in full riot mode as Terrella and Portia are pelted with plastic cups, popcorn buckets, and other things! At that moment, a wave of blue-shirted Retro security officials storm out from backstage, lead by a visibly irate RCW co-owner Fiona McFly! Fiona spots Portia and darts towards her, grabbing Terrella's manager by the back of the hair! We pick this up on audio... }
Fiona McFly: I'm a trained fighter, Portia! Try anything stupid and I will END you! Right here, RIGHT NOW!! I WILL SNAP YOU!!!
Portia: Get off of my hair!
{ Portia tries to scratch and claw her way out of the predicament, but Fiona -- a former IWF Women's World Champion who regularly trains in the mixed martial arts -- places her in a deep hammerlock. Terrella, seeing what's happening to his manager-girlfriend, darts towards the angry Northern Irishwoman, easily dispatching three security officials in the process! Referees and more Blueshirts -- led by Otto, the ex-Marine Gunnery Sergeant who serves as security chief -- soon arrive and overwhelm Terrella! }
Donnie DeMuro: I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime!
{ Outside the ring, Johnny -- despite being a heel in the title match -- breaks his character and mouths something on the order of "this ain't right, JJ" as Petey nods in agreement, the match having been ruined. Meanwhile, security is quickly escorting Stephen Terrella out of the arena. The lead camera follows Fiona as she drags Portia by the back of her hair into the backstage area. Eventually, the Northern Irishwoman, her face beet red, leads Portia towards the outside parking lot! }
Fiona McFly: STAY OUT!!
{ Portia stumbles forward, breaking one of her heels in the process. She takes the broken shoe and throws it in Fiona's direction, screaming at the top of her lungs as she does. }
Portia: That shoe cost more than your entire outfit!
{ Having been thrown out himself by a sea of humanity, Terrella spins and points at Fiona McFly. }
Terrella: You think this fucking ends here!? I'm going to cripple Gilmore! When I'm done, mark my words, I'll see you again!
{ Terrella turns to check on Portia. She takes off her other shoe and tosses it at a nearby car, frustrated by her inability to walk with any balance on one heel. Seething, Terrella looks back at Fiona. He starts to storm back toward the door, but Portia grabs him by the waist and does her best to calm him down. She whispers something in his ear, and he nods. He casts one final piercing stare at Fiona, then puts an arm around Portia and starts to walk away with her toward their car. }

-Following the show, a visibly irate Fiona McFly tweeted that there will be a rematch between Johnny and Plinko on Slammin’ Saturday Nite in three weeks’ time. She has ordered the match to take place inside the BattleDome – Retro’s equivalent of a Cell match.
-Both Sunny Skye and Lizzie Yeoh received a standing ovation after the Women’s World title match, which was considered by wrestling observers at ringside as the best match of the night.
