Welcome to part one of Beach Brawl Revisited as Abrams provides PPV-quality matches for FREE. Also, exclusive interviews help to make this stuff truly entertaining, right? Let’s find out!

We then revisit Beach Brawl and the match between the Blackhearts and FireCat/Jim Cooper:

For those unaware, Fire Cat was portrayed by Brady Boone. In case you forgot, Cooper was the wrestler who took the superplex in the opening montage for Fury Hour. Is that as bad as being the skier in Wide World of Sports? You decide!

When the Blackhearts made their entrance, Luna wore a boa constrictor around her neck. Scary!
Fire Cat jumped into the ring and distracted referee Scott Dickinson.
Meanwhile, the Blackhearts delivered their patented double somersault shoulder block to Cooper.
Speaking of Cooper, he supplied Apocalypse with a swinging neckbreaker and gave him a cross corner whip.
Apocalypse leaped to the second turnbuckle and launched a flying back elbow to Cooper.
As Destruction tagged in, he landed a lariat.
Cooper reversed an Irish whip and backdropped Destruction.
After Cooper hip-tossed Destruction, Fire Cat tagged in, and they scored with a Hart Attack for 2.
Fire Cat then leapfrogged Destruction and followed with a huracanrana. Wow!
While the Blackhearts might have switched illegally on the concrete floor, Apocalypse hoisted Cooper atop the top turnbuckle.
He then provided Cooper with a gutwrench superplex, mounted the second turnbuckle, but missed a big elbow.

Fire Cat then moonsaulted over him and scored with a superkick.
As he hooked a cradle for 1, Fire Cat snap-suplexed Apocalypse for another 1.
Apocalypse rebounded with a spinning heel kick, but Fire Cat hooked a crucifix for 2.
After Destruction tagged in, the Blackhearts exploded with a double lariat to Fire Cat for 1.
Destruction then hooked a Northern Lights suplex for 1.
While Destruction hit a flying back elbow, Apocalypse tagged in and secured a belly-to-back suplex.
Fire Cat rebounded with his own flying back elbow and followed with a DDT.
When tags were exchanged on both sides, the Blackhearts double-guillotined Cooper with the top rope.
Destruction tossed Fire Cat over the top rope to the concrete floor, and the Blackhearts disposed of Cooper with a Veg-o-matic at 6:50.

Summary: Showcase match for the Blackhearts with solid workrate, teamwork, and high-flying.

After the match, Luna mugs Fire Cat on the concrete floor before Dickinson stops her. Maniacal!

We then revisit Beach Brawl and the match between the Power Twins and Mass Confusion:

When the Power Twins removed their pre-match garb, they tossed it at DeGeorge who was PISSED.

Unbeknownst to referee Scott Dickinson, David put a knee into Brunzell’s back from the heel corner. SNEAKY!
David tagged in, and the Power Twins clobbered Brunzell in their corner.
As Brunzell escaped, Blair tagged in, but David reversed an Irish whip and trapped him in a bear hug.
Blair escaped by ringing David’s bell, nailed both Power Twins, and catapulted David into Larry.
After Larry illegally switched with David on the concrete floor, Brunzell tagged in, and Mass Confusion tied up Larry in a double spinning toe hold.
Blair tagged in, and Mass Confusion punished Larry’s hamstrings.
While Blair slammed him, Brunzell tagged in, and Mass Confusion split Larry’s uprights.
Brunzell hooked a somersault rollup on Larry for 2.
When tags were exchanged on both sides, Mass Confusion split David’s uprights. At this point, we can refer to the heels as Power Outage, right?
Larry tagged in, and the Power Twins double-clotheslined Blair.
As Larry secured a bear hug, he sandwiched Blair in the heel corner.
He then mounted the second turnbuckle and lowered the boom on Blair.
After David tagged in, he supplied Blair with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
Larry tagged in, and the Power Twins double-backdropped Blair.
While Blair attempted a slam, his back gave out due to the punishment inflicted by the Power Twins.

When Larry continued to distract Dickinson, David took liberties with Blair in the heel corner.
David tagged in and dealt Blair an elbow drop.
As Larry distracted Dickinson, a false tag occurred.

As Brunzell attempted a sunset flip, Larry grabbed the second rope to block it.
David distracted Dickinson again, so Blair hooked a sunset flip on Larry.
1-2-3.
Mass Confusion won at 13:04.

Summary: Great bit of turning the tables on the Power Twins with the double switcheroo. Both the psychology by Mass Confusion combined with the tag formula made this an entertaining match.

Ricco and DeGeorge interview the Power Twins who believe they didn’t lose at the PPV. They then cut a promo on the Blackhearts along with Wet’n’Wild and vow to win the tag team tournament. Is THAT what Abrams promised them?

Conclusion: Well, the matches were definitely better than what was being shown at the other TV tapings. The interviews were long, but both Luna and the Power Twins remained in character. Let’s hope part 2 is at least as good as this one is.
