When DOA returned to Inspire Suffolk in Ipswich for Monster Mash, no one could have quite predicted what was about to happen.  In one of the featured main events, the home town duo of Ben Jones and 'Banker' Marc Lloyd formed Team Ipswich to take on Lord Steven Farrell and Sir Ryan Matthews of the Farrell Family.  This match stemmed from when DOA was in Ipswich back in the summer and local Councillor Ruman Muhith was in attendance with his family and offered his thoughts on the show in a post show interview.  Lord Steven Farrell interrupted him and ran down Ipswich which the Councillor did not take kindly too.  Ruman eventually promised Farrell that he would assemble Ipswich's finest to take him on at the October show.  An online war of words between the two followed before Ruman announced that Ben Jones and 'Banker' Marc Lloyd both from Ipswich would step up as Team Ipswich to take on the Farrell family. 

Ruman led Team Ipswich out for the big match and the crowd were firmly behind Jones and Lloyd as they wasted no time in going straight for the Farrell Family.  Team Ipswich certainly had the early momentum until Matthews and Farrell managed to get the upper hand and isolate Ben Jones.  Jones showed some signs of hope but the usual dirty tactics of the Family kept allowing them to gain control again.  Eventually Lord Farrell locked Jones in the figure four leg lock and whilst the referee was not looking, Sir Ryan grabbed Farrell's hands to add further leverage to the hold.  Ruman Muhith spotted what was going on and pushed Matthews on the outside which allowed Jones to reverse the hold and finally tag Lloyd in.  Marc Lloyd cleared house taking both Farrell and Matthews down with several moves.  With the Family members down, Ben Jones hit his trademark swanton bomb and Lloyd followed suit.  It looked like Team Ipswich were about to win but in a shocking moment, Ben Jones attacked Marc Lloyd and downed him with a full nelson slam.  Jones left and Farrell made the most of the situation and pinned Lloyd for the win.  

After the match, Ruman Muhith did not quite know what had just transpired and helped up Marc Lloyd who was also confused about what had just happened.  The man with the microphone AK wasted no time in catching Ben Jones backstage and asking him why he had just turned his back on Marc Lloyd and Ipswich.  Jones accused Lloyd of being selfish and referred to the show in September in Bury St Edmunds when the Banker appeared to forget all about Jones.  At the time Jones was in the ring after an attack by the Farrell family and Marc Lloyd made matches for everyone at the anniversary show except Jones, totally disregarding him.  It was clear from this that something had changed in Ben Jones and now he was going in to business for himself.  What is next for the former 'Lad'? and how will The Banker respond? 

Danny Darko and Dillon Slade surprised everyone earlier in the month when they defeated the Wylde Kings to become the DOA tag team champions.  They had the opportunity in Ipswich to prove that victory was no fluke as the belts were on the line in a rematch.  The Wylde Kings - Rexx Wylde and Sullivan King went into the match on a mission to prove themselves and earlier in the night had made that mission clear to the rest of the Farrell Family.  There did seem to be a bit of a draft as the Kings were almost ignored by Farrell and Matthews who were more interested in a game of chess until Rexx tipped the table over.  The match against Darko and Slade was A tornado tag with a ring full of Halloween theme weapons.  The fans were loving every moment of this match which was action packed from start to finish although it seemed it was lights out for the tag team champions after the Wylde Kings trapped Dillon Slade in body bag.  However, Slade complete with shark costume managed to later fight back and prove that the title win was not fluke as he and Darko won the match and retained the tag team championships.  

Jack E Hyde came out to announce that his scheduled defense of the pandemonium championship would not go ahead due to an injury to his opponent.  However, Jack was left suprised when his long time best friend and tag team partner Hex came out to confront him.  It seems fan favorite Hex was unhappy at Hyde's recent actions and change in attitude.  He stated that as he was the one who gave Hyde the title, and it was time he took it back.  The bell rang but before Hyde and Hex could go at it, a mystery man wearing a mask hit the ring and low blowed Hex as Hyde left.  The match went to a no contest and Jack E Hyde watched on as the mystery man beat down on Hex.  However, Hex battled back and choke slammed the mystery man who rolled out of the ring and stood side by side with Hyde.  AK attempted to get answers asking what was going on but Hyde refused to answer and instead handed AK a flyer which read out 'follow or repent'.  What is really going on with Jack E Hyde and who is his masked side kick?

Prior to defending his Social Media championship against Canadian guest Gabriel Fuerza, Brad O'Brien was asked by AK about his plans for the Go 4 Glory briefcase.  O'Brien was defensive and asked why he would tell anyone his plan for the briefcase and only he knows what is in store.  The beefcake of wrestling then turned his attention to Fuerza and the pair produced a fast paced entertaining match.  It looked at times like Fuerza could have been taking the Social Media title back to Canada but it was Brad O'Brien who prevailed in the end and made up for his loss to Marc Lloyd at the Anniversary show.  

The female Canadian guest at the show was Alexia Nicole who had the women's championship in her sights as she went one on one with Leia Elise.  Elise has been on quite a run and has almost seemed unstoppable since winning the title for a second time.  It appeared after the anniversary show that she had joined the Farrell Family and turned her back on her real family - especially her father Hot Stuff.  The fact she is dating Sir Ryan Matthews probably has some influence over her choice, but at Ipswich it was strictly business.  Despite Nicole's best efforts, she could not match the brute strength of Elise who once against retained the championship.  Can anyone stop her? 

Junior Benito had a better result than his two fellow Canadians and managed to score a victory over Mike Illingworth.  This was Benito's second time at DOA and the fans were firmly behind him as he set out to shut up the cocky Mike Illingworth.  It was a good result and it seemed that Benito enjoyed it when he spoke about it afterwards backstage.  

Meanwhile, Franklin - another hometown boy, was in action against Josh Holly who was making his first appearance in DOA.  The welshman was impressive but with the crowd behind him, Franklin was the one scoring the big victory to gain some momentum.

​After nearly two years away from the ring, 'The Banker' Marc Lloyd made a triumphant return with victory over Brad O'Brien in front of a packed Drill House in Great Yarmouth.  This big main event was personal as Lloyd wanted revenge on O'Brien after the attack a few months back in Ipswich when O'Brien returned from injury and nailed Lloyd with the Social Media Championship belt.  The Banker had personally signed this match prior to quitting as Director of Authority last month so that he could pursue getting even with O'Brien. 

At the start of the show Brad O'Brien entered the building and came face to face with Peter Nixon, the man who had been tasked with being the special guest referee.  Nixon had clearly not forgotten the sneak attack carried out by Brad at his retirement show back in March and O'Brien knew that.  After a brief stare down, O'Brien walked away but seemed full of confidence ahead of the main event match as he went face to face with the Banker in a pre match interview with AK.  In that interview, Banker vowed to bring an end to Brad's reign of terror, a reference to the antics over this year of Brad and the entire Farrell family.  

Once the talking had been done, Banker and O'Brien went one on one with Peter Nixon the special guest referee.  Banker wasted no time and immediately through his briefcase at the face of Brad O'Brien who rolled to the outside to be consoled by Lord Steven Farrell who was at ringside with him.  After the earlier actions of the Farrell Family, Nixon used his authority as referee to send Farrell to the back which made it an even playing field.  An entertaining match then followed and O'Brien looked to capitalise on the fact Banker had not been in the ring for nearly two years.  However, it did not go to plan despite there being a moment when Peter Nixon was taking out,  Lloyd hit back and overcame the odds and beat O'Brien after introducing him to his boot as previously promised.  It was the perfect come back for the Banker, but as for Brad O'Brien, he still has the Go 4 Glory briefcase which he can cash in for any championship at anytime.   

The Adrenaline championship has been subject to much change over the last couple of months.  First of all Cali Grey won the championship from AJ Boogie Benjamin in a mixed tag team match without pinning him, but then he lost it in his first title defense against Ty Hazard last month in Bury St Edmunds.  Therefore the triple threat match between the three at the anniversary was always going to get the fans excited.  Prior to the match Ty Hazard dismissed claims that the belt could be cursed when it was suggested by interviewer AK, however his mind may have been changed come the end of the match.  The three men put their body on the line to deliver a fast paced high flying match which enthralled the fans.  It looked like Cali Grey was about to take the championship back when he dumped Ty on his head, however Boogie had climbed to the top rope and hit his trademark splash to break up the pin.  He sent Grey packing and then quickly covered Ty and scored a three count.  The crowd erupted as Benjamin became the first ever two time Adrenaline champion!

In another match that was signed by 'Banker' Marc Lloyd in his final act as Director of Authority, The Wylde Kings defended the tag team championships against Danny Darko and Dillon Slade.  Slade was keen to proof himself to everyone after being rejected by the Farrell Family and Darko was the perfect person to have by his side.  The Wylde Kings used their brute force to beat down on Slade but the tables were turned when he managed to get the tag to Darko and run riot.  In a rather strange moment, Darko ended up wearing Slade's shark costume and hitting a big splash from off Slade's shoulders on to Rexx Wylde.  The Drill Hall erupted as Danny Darko and Dillon Slade became the new tag team champions - a team we did not ask for but we are sure happy we got!

Everything was on the line as Lord Steven Farrell defended Brad O'Brien's social media championship against Sunset Skip who was putting his DOA career on the line.  Despite Farrell starting the match with a sneak attack, Skip battled back for a chunk of the match until Farrell targeted his leg for the figure four.  When Sunset Skip was able to fight back, Farrell ended up pulling referee Cody in front of him on a splash meaning there was no referee.  First of all Brad O'Brien hit the ring and attempted to nail Skip with his Go 4 Glory briefcase but he was downed with a bionic elbow.  The Wylde Kings ran in and were about to double powerbomb Skip until Darko and Slade the new tag team champions ran out and chased them backstage.  Skip went up top but Brad O'Brien who had stayed ringside nailed him with the briefcase allowing Farrell to then hit him with the belt.  Referee Cody made a count but to everyone's surprise Skip managed to kick out before 3.  With Cody still only half with it, Farrell picked the belt back up and after a pause when Skip seemed to accept his fate, The Lord downed him again and this time got the three count.  

It was all over for Sunset Skip in DOA as he received a loud show of appreciation from the fans.  A bit later, AK caught up with Skip for a brief interview.  Skip's mood was somber as he thanked everyone for his time in DOA and stated he would now ride off into the sunset. 

DOA Women's champion Leia Elise has been unstoppable recently and Mia Cortez was the next challenger to try and knock her off her throne at the top of the division.  Cortez gave it her best shot and looked to take every available opportunity but yet again Elise was too powerful.  As we have seen on so many occasions, she found a way to lock Cortez into her girdle submission hold.  Despite Cortez trying to hang on for as long as possible, the pain was too much and she tapped out, as Elise again retained the championship. 

Before the match had started, AK grabbed a few words with British Legend Hot Stuff who is the father of Leia Elise and he said he was there supporting her.  Her entrance music cut him off and she started shouting at him claiming the spotlight was hers now and she was better than he ever was.  After winning the match, Elise snubbed Hot Stuff and walked right past him which left him feeling a bit rejected by his daughter.  

Since losing the DOA Heavyweight Championship, Brett Semtex has been on a mission to climb back up the ladder.  He had been scheduled to have his rematch with Big Joe at this event but due to Big Joe competing in the United States, it has been rescheduled.  Instead, Semtex had the chance to get further momentum after his victory over Mike Bird last month as he faced the powerhouse Blake.  Blake was making his first appearance in DOA after a couple of years away - in his previous appearance he defeated two former DOA heavyweight champions and was now looking to make Semtex a third.  He looked in a good position to do so when he lifted Semtex up high for a powerbomb, but Semtex managed to roll down his back and down him with a spear which was followed up by a three count.  It was another victory for Semtex going into his Heavyweight championship rematch.  Afterwards, he showed respect to Blake and offered a handshake which was accepted.  The pair embraced but then Blake suddenly kicked Semtex in the lower regions much to the dismay of the Yarmouth fans.  He walked out with his head held high leaving Semtex down in pain.  This surely must be a distraction for Brett as he goes into his heavyweight title rematch?

DOA founder Alec Burnitt who was the MC for the evening, took the opportunity to thank the DOA fans for the support over the past ten years.  As he was saying his thank you messages, he was interrupted by Sam Santari who has not been seen in DOA for over a year.  Sam complained to Burnitt about not being on DOA shows and then pushed Burnitt into the corner and started to throttle him.  He then started to order Burnitt to personally apologise to him. Burnitt took his jacket off and seemed keen to fight back against Santari but then told him that you dont go ten years without making any friends.  Fan favorite Hex then made his way out and downed Sam Santari with a big chokeslam as the crowd cheered on. 

After his out of character actions last month at Fury Road in Bury St Edmunds, Jack E Hyde was back to defend his pandemonium championship.  He went up against Villman in a match where one of the competitors had to remove the others mask in order to win.  There were some close calls in this one but eventually it was Hyde who was able to remove Villman's mask to retain his championship.  After so many years in wrestling, Villman's face was finally seen as he stood in the ring after the match almost in shock at what had just happened.  As for Hyde, he has now made two successful title defenses and will be waiting on what comes next.
