We cut backstage to Hardkore Camera Jackie Valentine Jr. shooting Purrman Melville, Hardkore Backstage reporter and cat. The cat walks over to Kilroy Evans and Disney’s Marty Donovan backstage, revealing another bombshell backstage story
Disney’s Marty Donovan: Kilroy you can’t just leave the door open. Anybody can just walk in!
Kilroy Evans: That’s what I’m hoping for!
Hardkore Backstage Reporter Kevin Valentine Jr. holds up his arms in disbelief that he missed out on this scoop. The show fades back to out to the ring, where Hardkore Jonnie Valentine standing with a championship belt and Hardkore World Television Champion “The Salford Squid” Callum Cornwall
Hardkore Jonnie Valentine: "Hello San Jose. You know, San Jose has been the home of some of the great Hardkore World matches, as is the rest of California. The Golden State has always played a huge part in Hardkore World, even having its own satellite Hardkore California in Fresno. Now we have decided to honor California’s rich wrestling history by introducing the Hardkore California Championship. It will be combined with the lineage and replace the Hardkore World Television Championship. I would now like to present ““The Salford Squid” Callum Cornwall with his new championship."
The San Jose crowd cheers as Hardkore Jonnie Valentine hands Callum Cornwall his new title belt. Cornwall shakes Jonnie’s hand and holds the Hardkore California title belt up high.
“The Salford Squid” Callum Cornwall: “Thank you, Jonnie. It is an honor to be the first Hardkore California Champion. You know, as a kid,I ordered the first and only Hardkore California PPV where Roscoe Law defended the Hardkore West Coast title against LARP G-Buzz. I will say this. Roscoe honored that appearance. But, if you had told me I was going to be Hardkore California Champion one day…”
Then “Born To Be Wild” by Steppenwolf played and Mickie Fury and Dirk “Glorious Wolf” van Thijmen walked out. Dirk grabbed the mic from Greg Jin
Dirk “Glorious Wolf” van Thijmen: You’re not going to be Hardkore California Champion for very long. Jonnie, how long do we know each other? It is fine you grant him a belt but why change the meaning? TV belt could defend around the globe. And California in the state self only…
Hardkore Jonnie Valentine tries to explain his reasoning but suddenly Dirk gets close to Cornwall’s face
Dirk “Glorious Wolf” van Thijmen: Kid, are you looking at my wife?
Callum Cornwall assures Dirk that he wasn’t looking at Mickie Fury, but an enraged Dirk van Thijmen hit Squid with a forearm, and then a european uppercut. Hardkore Security Larry Valentine, Tommy Milligan, and Richie Richardson tried to break them up, but Dirk landed a swinging elbow to Squid’s jaw. Dirk climbed to the top turnbuckle and jumped off with a flying dropkick, but Cornwall ducked underneath. The Salford Squid applied The Rage of Sadler kataha-jime to The Glorious Wolf’s injured ribs!! Mickie Fury kicked Cornwall to break it up, but the damage was done. Dirk van Thijmen had to be carried out on a stretcher under the care of Hardkore Medic David Valentine Jr. while a regretful Callum Cornwall looked on.

We came back to the Hardkore Submission Exhibition between Hardkore World Heavyweight Champion Cross Recoba and Wrestle: UK Television Champion Kalmin Watts. Each man had a set amount of time to get tap outs from the volunteers of Hardkore Jonnie Valentine’s offer to pay their trans.
