This was the first time that F1RST Wrestling held an event at the Uptown VFW. The event sold out at the door.

The opening match was a 4 man 2 animal scramble match. In that match were Ryan Cruz, Scott Story, Giant Griffin, "Filth King" Brubaker, Wild Cat and Super Thunder Frog.

Ryan Cruz was the winner of the match.

After the match Ryan Cruz was attacked by his estranged tag team champion partner Darin Corbin. The fate of the F1RST Wrestling tag team titles will be decided on January 6, 2018 at Wrestlepalooza XI.

FEST champion Su Young defeated Rain to retain the title. Rain made her return to F1RST Wrestling after 10 years. She was on the very first F1RST Wrestling event back in April 2007. Hope it's not another 10 years before Rain is back in a F1RST Wrestling ring.

"All Ego" Ethan Page defeated Jimmy Jacobs and Air Wolf in a 3 way match. Page pinned Air Wolf for the 3 count. It's nice to see Jacobs back on the independent scene. 

The Wrestling Revolver tag team champions Besties in the World ( Davey Vega & Mat Fitchett) took on Zero Gravity (Brett Gakiya & CJ Esparza).

Zero Gravity defeated Besties in the World to win the Wrestling Revolver tag team titles.

Chaos 300 defeated Officer Rob Justice. Look close at Chaos 300's trunks. It says "300" not "BOO".

In the main event Arik Cannon & Tommy Dreamer defeated Darin Corbin & Abyss. This was a hardcore match. Items used included toilet seat, cheese grater and thumb tacks. Dreamer got the 3 count on Corbin for the win after a DVD on chairs.

F1RST Wrestling returns to the Uptown VFW on Thursday March 22, 2018. Get your tickets before they sell out.
