The match started in chaos as Knox took down Cross with a plancha before Daniel Burnell’s monster had a chance to enter the ring. Knox would use this advantage and hold control for the early part of the match.
However, Cross would regain control later on with a series of powerful moves including his devastating Organ Grinder. Burnell would take the opportunity to taunt Knox as Cross continued to decimate The Deal.
It was about this time the fans began to lay into the IPW Champion – none more so than James Shaw’s mother, who happened to be sitting ringside. Not taking kindly to her words, Cross left the ring to confront her. Then everything went south fast.
James Shaw’s father, also ringside, stood before the monster to make sure he didn’t get any ideas. That simply provoked Cross, who dragged Mr Shaw over the rails and began to pummel him.
Not willing to stay backstage and watch, James Shaw stormed through the curtain to defend his father. The entire locker room then had to pile out to keep Cross and Shaw separated and Burnell was forced to call an abrupt end to the event.
