At The Derby - Derby City Wrestling recap for April 9, 2023

David Marquez interviews Rocco Bellagio and "The Pope" Elijah Burke. Rocco says that Louisville, Kentucky is the mecca of professional wrestling, and while he is fro New Jersey, he calls Louisville home, and he is standing next to the man who needs no introduction in The Pope while he is the longest-reigning heavyweight champion in the city's history. He says that he is deserving of a shot at the United World Championship, and he wants everyone to witness it themselves. The Pope says there is not much more that needs to be said as history speaks for itself and that Rocco has made his accomplishments known and Louisville has generated great superstars and legacies which Derby City Wrestling will continue. He says there is no better person to go after the title than Rocco and that he will be rooting for him.

He has him look at the camera, then helps himself to Reeves' wrist tape and leaves. Reeves then checks his hair for the camera.

David Marquez interviews Dylan Bostic. Bostic says he is back in Louisville, Kentucky and that it sickens and absolutely disgusts him that he has to be back here in front of all these "disgusting, poor, in-bred, mouthbreathing hillbillies." He then says his issue is not with the fans, but with "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero, saying his "cheerleading" for Rocco Bellagio disgusts him and that he is the real #1 contender for the United World Championship. He then says that if The Pope has the balls, he will get in the ring with him one-on-one and they will find out who the next #1 contender is. He then asks "Who sucks now?"

He says it does not matter who gets sent his way, because he will put them down.

David Marquez interviews "Pretty" Peter Avalon. Avalon says that he is the United Wrestling Network and that he would make up all four faces of its Mount Rushmore while he represents the UWN everywhere, all while being booed by the crowd. He mentions that he has a match with Brian Myers in a few weeks, then tells everyone to disregard Brian Myers because he has beaten him before and that he will prove to him again that it is "PPA All Day."

Moose beats "Dead Ringer" Aaron Williams. After the match, David Marquez interviews Moose, who tells Danny Limelight that he does not have to tell him who he is or what he has done and that Danny Limelight has something around his waist that belongs to him.
