ETCW GOLD RUSH — RESULTS
What a night at ETCW Gold Rush! 🔥 From championship chaos to unexpected returns, big wins, and controversy, Gold Rush definitely delivered.
MATCH 1 — THUNDERSTRUCK CHAMPIONSHIP
Caleb was set to challenge Daddy Mac for the Thunderstruck Championship, but the match barely got started before Jackson Black and J-Mac hit the ring and attacked Caleb.
Then came the unexpected save — Bob O Mac!
Donnie Oliver wasted no time making two HUGE announcements:
• Daddy Mac has been stripped of the Thunderstruck Championship
• The Thunderstruck Championship will now be decided through a tournament leading into Christmas Night
And with Kyle Brooks not in the building, Caleb and Bob O Mac were ordered into a handicap match against Jackson Black later that night!
MATCH 2 — KING REX VS EL GR**GO
What started as a taco celebration quickly turned into chaos. El Gr**go attempted to count out King Rex, but when the count reached 8, the King’s music hit.
J-Mac and Leerhoid provided the distraction, allowing King Rex to strike from behind.
Despite moments of the two working together and King Rex learning new moves from Gr**go’s book, the numbers game eventually became too much.
King Rex hit the cutter and picked up the victory.
Afterward, King Rex said he didn’t feel like he really needed his team at ringside — because he didn’t use them much during the match anyway.
MATCH 3 — BOB O MAC & BIG MONEY CALEB VS JACKSON BLACK
The new team of Bob O Mac and Big Money Caleb had Jackson Black in trouble early, but King Rex and J-Mac couldn’t stay out of the action.
Donnie Oliver had enough.
He restarted the match and banned Rex and J-Mac from ringside — unless J-Mac was willing to give up his championship match later that night.
Once the match restarted, Jackson was hit with German suplex after German suplex.
Finally, Jackson grabbed the microphone and counted himself out, allowing him to retain the championships.
Bob O Mac and Caleb still picked up the win.
Donnie Oliver later announced that there will be a rematch next month — and if Kyle Brooks can’t make it, Jackson will have to find another partner.
MATCH 4 — THE ENFORCER VS JACOB RAYNOR
A powerhouse showdown between the returning Enforcer and Jacob Raynor.
The two went back and forth, but when it mattered most, Jacob Raynor found the opening and scored a HUGE victory.
Could this be the beginning of a championship opportunity for Raynor?
MATCH 5 — BRUTUS VS WILDBILL
Two men looking to bounce back from losses in July left everything they had in the ring.
And then they took the fight OUT of the ring.
Neither man made it back before the 10-count, resulting in a double count-out and no winner.
But Donnie Oliver wasn’t done.
He announced that Brutus and Wildbill will be the FIRST MATCH in the tournament to crown a new Thunderstruck Champion!
On September 19th, these two will meet again — but this time, the stakes are MUCH higher.
MAIN EVENT — J-MAC VS ZEN FORTUNE
The Heavyweight Championship was on the line, but once again, the numbers game became a major factor.
King Rex, Leerhoid and Daddy Mac all came out for J-Mac, making it nearly impossible for the referee to keep control.
At one point, it appeared King Rex handed J-Mac powder to use on Zen Fortune while the referee was distracted.
But it BACKFIRED.
Wildbill hit the ring and took out King Rex, watching his partner’s back.
J-Mac accidentally got the powder in his own face, giving Zen Fortune the opening he needed.
Zen locked in the submission — and J-Mac tapped out.
After the show, the Dark Kingdom had plenty to say, claiming Zen cheated and that Wildbill should have never been allowed at ringside.
