ULTIMATE HOUR
RECAP

The first Ultimate Hour of the year opened with the Director of PSA, Dru Parcher.  He thanked the PSA Faithful for their support during PSA 2.0, and he promised that this new era will be the best one yet!  As PSA looks towards the future, however, Parcher noted that sometimes it’s necessary to look back at the past.  That’s why he wanted to kick off Season 11 with a special announcement; the revival of the PSA Hardcore Championship!  Before he could announce who will serve as its next Champion, “The Shepherd of Fire,” Drew Pender, made his way down to the ring.  He told Parcher that bringing back the Hardcore Title is an excellent idea, and there was no one better suited to rebuild its prestige from its ashes than him.  Parcher seemed to agree with this sentiment, but they were both interrupted by Andrew Frankowski before any decision could be made.  Andrew argued that 2024 was the best year of his career, and he just beat Drew Pender in a tag team match; if anyone should be the next Hardcore Champion, it’s “The Donkowski.”  The two men argued, but Dru Parcher announced that at Plugged In, the two will compete for the Title in a Hardcore Classic match!  Who will serve PSA as the next Hardcore Champion?

Before Dave stepped in the ring with Lochlan, it was announced that “The Shellraiser” would get another shot at P-Money’s Ultimate Hour Championship if he won this match.  This served as a great motivator for Dave, and he hit Lochlan with the Bombshell to emerge victorious.  As the #1 Contender celebrated, P-Money came out on stage and revealed that he convinced Dru Parcher to make their Title bout a Steel Cage Match!  Can Dave accomplish his goal of becoming Champion, or will P-Money weasel his way out once again?

Backstage, Voltand was found battered, bloody, and bruised!  It is unclear who attacked him, and this put the PSA Tag Team Championship match at Plugged In in jeopardy.  Luckily, Corwin volunteered himself and Casual Adam to serve as the Champions.  As for who their challengers will be at Plugged In, this will be determined in tonight’s Main Event!

After losing at New Year’s Arrival, we heard what was next for one of PSA’s biggest stars, Brittany Blake.  She admitted that she was upset about losing the Roster Roulette Championship match, but she promised to do whatever it takes to become a Champion again.  Before she could elaborate any further, however, Marcia came out and taunted Blake, claiming that she can beat her anytime and anywhere, just like she did at New Year’s Arrival.  Blake, angered by these comments, slapped her rival across the face!  The two began to brawl, which forced PSA Officials to pull them apart.  As a result of this confrontation, Dru Parcher announced that the two women will face off in a Falls Count Anywhere match at Plugged In!

Goldielox looked to continue his momentum in his match against Anthony Justice.  The two had a competitive contest, but “The Gilded Greatness” walked out on top after hitting the former Debt Collector with The Shredder.  If he keeps this win streak up, Goldielox will undoubtedly be Championship material very soon!

Backstage, Dru Parcher was found apologizing to Johnny Warren.  Parcher admitted that he had to put Samuel Binglebottom in the Ball Drop Battle Royal due to Binglebottom Incorporated’s sponsorship, and that due to a reaggravated injury he sustained in the match, Binglebottom is not medically cleared to compete against Warren at Plugged In.  “The Lifeblood” is still convinced that these injuries are fake, but he was more curious as to why Parcher needed a sponsorship for a match in the first place.  The Director of PSA was not willing to discuss PSA’s financials live on air, but he agreed to meet with Warren about it after the show.  As for his match with Binglebottom, however, it’s not happening anytime soon.  At this time, Goldielox, who just won his match against Anthony Justice, walked over and stood toe-to-toe with Johnny Warren.  “The Gilded Greatness” previously had his sights set on the Ultimate Hour Championship, but he’s thinking about dreaming even bigger.  He volunteered to take Binglebottom’s place at Plugged In, and when he beats Warren fair and square, there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind that he should be next in line for the PSA World Championship.  Warren never backs down from a challenge, so Parcher made the match official!  Johnny Warren was obviously upset about this whole situation, but he held his emotions back to ensure that his meeting with Dru Parcher after the show takes place.  Could PSA be in trouble?

Janice Janet, Low-Key Eve, Silva Sista, and Grace Adonis competed in a First-Timer’s #1 Contendership match, with the winner challenging Heather N. Marcus at Plugged In.  In a chaotic contest, Janet hit Sista with the Scrambler to earn her match against HNM.

Next, Shawn Westin and Josh Grabowski met in the ring before their PSA World Championship match at Plugged In.  Westin congratulated Grabowski on his victory at Christmas Calamity, as he knows “The 10,000 Pound Gorilla” has been deserving of this Championship reign for a long time.  However, Westin has something far more important on the line in this match: his family’s love.  If he doesn’t win, Westin isn’t sure his family will ever give him another chance.  This opportunity means the world to him, and he’s going to take full advantage of it.  Grabowski commended Westin for his star-making performance in the Ball Drop Battle Royal, but he made it clear that his opponent’s life story will not change the outcome.  Grabowski fought for years to make this dream a reality, and it’s not getting snatched away from him in his first defense.  The two men shook hands out of respect, but it’s clear that they will both do whatever it takes to walk out as Champion next week!

The Main Event of Ultimate Hour was an action-packed PSA Tag Team Championship #1 Contendership match between JX2, The Beautiful Boys, and the Jonsun Culinary Academy.  In the contest, Cameron Curtis earned his team a match with The Hallowed Divine’s Corwin and Casual Adam when he pinned Jeff “The Chef” Jonsun with the Chain Breaker.
