No problem, BFX. Thank you for entering DokoMask.
Give credit to Hana/Officer Brightly for the ring, she totally deserves it.

Dude, I swear I updated Bulen to comply with the rules. My bad. I'll update him on the workshop tonight, I might've forgotten to do that.

I love that screenshot of the Nana suplex. It's so good. Looking forward to the rest of the results!

This is awesome NSL, thanks (or whatever the proper term for appreciation that fits this scenario is) for doing it. Fist bump and a butt pinch. Don't metoo me.

Second Round results: Illium Levantarse def. Baby Peregrine (16:23) El Menton def. La Brujaja (11:28) The Maiden of the Evil Eye La Brujaja and the Master of the chinlock El Menton faced off to see who was the baddest in the ring in this Elite Eight match. And unlike his slow start in the first round with Nana Yoon, Menton fired off to a hot start on Brujaja, with elbows, clubbed shots and even numerous stomps to the netherregion in an attempt to break Brujaja's spirit. Brujaja would be rattled by the larger Menton's onslaught and even cycled back, using agile moves to chop away at Menton and even making him bleed with some brutal headbutts to the back of Menton's large cranium. Menton would put away the wicked maiden in 11:28 with a Nagata Lock II, for a ticket to the Final Four and Illium Levantarse. Bulen Peterson def. Luke Casey (17:51) The 11th seed Bulen Peterson wanted to continue his momentum against 3rd-seeded Luke Casey, the Warrior Pro product whose powerful moves have garnered him some well-earned attention. Bulen and Luke had a slight contrast of skillsets, but it was Luke that wanted to push the initiative a little further, and Bulen took a page from Luke's playbook. Luke attempted to beat Bulen at his own game by brawling with him to the outside, and even showing off his impressive power by nailing a One Winged Angel, but Bulen was more content with beating Luke in the ring once he knew Luke had him beat outside, and went with several Tenryu-style 53Sai brainbusters and elbows. A frantic scramble at the end would see Bulen miss his first Super Knee Drop, but shortly nail his second to cap off a wild match in 17:51. Keith Classic def. Clem (23:06) In the marquee match of the round, the 2nd-seed Clem and 7th-seed Keith Classic faced off with a chance to face Bulen Peterson in the Final Four Friday. Classic wasn't impressed with Clem's headbutt-centric offense, chopping his chest often and sucking the wind out of Clem's sails. Clem responded with chokes to soften up Keith, building up to the headbutts. Classic used his textbook techniques to stymie the favored Clem, leading up to a Death Valley Driver early, but Clem kicked out. Perhaps it was the impatience of Clem to go for the WHAT THE CLUCK?!? super diving headbutt to slow him down, but Keith's steady build would grant him victory after an exasperated Clem did hit the diving headbutt, but couldn't capitalize pinning him, leading to Classic hitting an emphatic jumping piledriver for the second time this match, and advancing.

Been a great tournament so far. I'm looking forward to the final four. I'm honestly suprised Keith Classic is there, whatever happens now is a bonus I think.
Your write-ups have been superb NSL.

Looking good, we're down to the nitty gritty by now! And I think I have Illium winning it all at this point.

Another great round... Glad Casey put on another good outing. Good luck to Keith Classic the rest of the way out...

To everyone who has submitted an edit and participated in this tournament and thread, I sincerely thank you all. After all, this is a Community effort, and without a community like this, I wouldn't be able to pull this off and bring back something like the Star of the Jar. I know a couple hiccups were made, but I'm sure we can iron them out for later events. I intend to run this tournament annually every December for the foreseeable future. Semifinals & Finals results: El Menton def. Illium Levantarse (20:57) The opening semifinal match was a fiery, spirited encounter between Illium Levantarse and El Menton. Illium's dynamic offense and Menton's roughhouse style were on display, with Illium pacing out well in front and looked to even rub it in to Menton, using the chinlock to the Master of the chinlock. Illium even took it a step further and nailed a moonsault to Menton to the outside, and even brought back the PK to Sliding D combination twice. Menton struggled with Illium's rapid offense in the opening third, and started to get back into the match by using his own chinlock as an equalizer. Menton caught up with Illium, but Illium resisted and fought back from the ground when it seemed Menton would take it with his chinlock. The match seemed over when Illium nailed Menton with the Destino, but Menton popped back up, and nailed him with a Dodon's Throne to seal a place in the Grand Final. A match which told the story of the chinlock ends with a never before seen move for the finish. Bulen Peterson def. Keith Classic (12:52) Bulen Peterson faced Keith Classic in the second semifinal, in a definite contrast of wrestling. It's often said that styles make fights in combat sports, however in this match it was motivation that drove Bulen Peterson to the final, as his brawling style was displayed early and often to a Keith Classic ill-prepared to even trade shots in stand up. Bulen's desire to face Menton in the final led him to the top rope several times to strike a downed Classic, winning with his fourth Super Knee Drop in 12:52. Grand Final: El Menton def. Bulen Peterson (13:57) The Grand Final of the 2018 Star of the Jar was settled sooner than expected, as one man's stubborn defiance as he bled would only delay the inevitable. Bulen's Peterson's face was cut inside the first minute by El Menton's large fist in the clinch, but his spirit and anger wouldn't allow him to simply let Menton crush him. Bulen, bleeding profusely, choked, stomped, and fought with fervent passion against Menton, who would only get more and more frustrated in his failed attempts to intimidate this mere car wash nerd, even with a steel chair. The last couple minutes of the match was a fantastic last stand, as Bulen pelted Menton with staggering elbows, flipped him off, runs full force with a jumping elbow that felled the giant for enough time for a diving elbow from the top rope. But, an exhausted Bulen could not continue, as Menton would call time on Bulen's run, with a chin lock, emerging as the 2018 Star of the Jar.

Thank you for running this NSL, and accepting entrants from PS4 players like myself should be applauded as well.
Before World I was apart of the community, but I did not do much. Within a few months I've put my edits forward to two tournaments and started publishing Fire Pro content on Youtube I actually now feel like an actual community member.
Long live this community!

Congrats to the winner! Official Press Release from The Office: "Congratulations to 2018 Star Of The Jar, El Menton! As a result of winning Star Of The Jar 2018, El Menton has earned himself a Grand-Prix Championship match at the as-yet-unnamed 2019 Supershow against whoever emerges from the upcoming Grand-Prix Gauntlet as the CRITICAL! Club Grand-Prix Champion. The 1st Runner-Up, Bulen Peterson, will be named #2 Contender and will receive the first championship match following the Supershow, and the runner-ups from the Semifinals, Illium Levantarse and Keith Classic, will face off on the Pre-Show for the Supershow to determine the #3 and #4 Contenders after that. Once again, congratulations to the winner and to all the participants in the return of the Star Of The Jar! We look forward to many successful Rookie Jar events in the following years!"
It wasn't an originally included incentive, but I figured it would be a nice little bonus for the winner in addition to their trophy. :)
