Extra Butter Results
Quick Results
Cannonball Duvall (Blackrose) and Sam Horne defeated Titania (Phoenix Rising) and Bradley Carr
Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising) and Sonny Urquidez (USW-F) defeated Ziggy Rockefeller (Phoenix Rising/Wrestle Parade) and Hannes Lefeuvre
Shaka Corbin (Blackrose) and Oleg Makos (UCSS) defeated Dr.Hypnodra (Wrestle Parade) and Zhenka Streltsov
Arthur Evans and Tristan Pacheco defeated Scorpio Noche (Sakura Pro) and Zulu Lionheart (PEWA)
Write Ups After a long and drawn out struggle, Titania had Sam Horne pinned down in her corner, and it looked like Titania would finally get her first win. But as Titania went for a tag, Horne managed to slip out, and as Carr chased, the incoming Duvall found a suplex for the three.  Despite Hannes and Ziggy working well together, they were unable to control the pace of the match, and eventually Ziggy would get caught in the enemy corner and pinned after Urquidez’s rolling kick.  Oleg started the match off with some power moves, and even managed to outdo Zhenka in a striking contest. Combined with the many, many tag double powerbombs from the side of Shaka and Corbin, and all it took was two rolling stomps from Oleg to close out the match on Zhenka.  After Tristan opened up a cut on Zulu early on in the match, it was a race to see if Zulu and Noche could put the match away bfore the bleeding took its toll. Unfortunately for them, Arthur’s signature meat tenderizing gloves only exacerbated the issue, enough so that Arthur would get the tap from Zulu with a simple stretch. As we go into Round 5, the final round, these are the standings. These standings are ordered by tiebreaker, so people listed higher up on the list are (generally) ahead even if they are tied by scoreline. Arthur Evans (4-0) Shaka Corbin (3-1) Zulu Lionheart (3-1) Sanya Markov (3-1) Ziggy Rockefeller (2-2) Dr. Hypnodra (2-2) Zhenka Streltsov (2-2) Tristan Pacheco (2-2) Scorpio Noche (2-2) Oleg Makos (2-2) Sonny Urquidez (2-2) Sam Horne (2-2) Hannes Lefeuvre (1-3) Cannonball Duvall (1-3) Bradley Carr (1-3) Titania (0-4) Since the issue came up, management has deliberated and confirmed that top cut members will be allowed to choose each other as their tag partner going into the bracket. If this happens, the next highest competitor will be chosen to select a teammate for the bracket. |

Despite the extreme procrastination of our writing staff, here's the card for Butterfloor Episode #13! Although the main show is back to normal, tonight's show is still going to air at 10:15 PM EST.
Riley Montgomery (AFW) versus The Headless Holdsman Refusing to be outdone by her rival Freya, Riley now takes her own shot at the headless one, trying to get into the Headless Hall of Fame first. But will her brawling style be enough to overpower the holdsman?
Cody Sheppard versus Edhem Yavas With the next tag title contenders being decided by the Mystery Tag Tournament, Cody and Zak have been taking a backseat in booking. But as the tournament winds down, Cody and Edhem will be returning in what is sure to be an oily matwork spectacle.
Virginia Caldwell (Blackwood Academy) versus Elizabeth "Liz" McKenna Despite having a disastrous debut with their first lent-out talent, the Blackwood Academy continues to partner with Butterfloor for some reason. (For which we are extremely grateful.)
First in what is a mini field trip of sorts for the Academy, Virginia Caldwell will face Liz McKenna. A big stylistic clash, with Caldwell’s strikes and submissions going up against McKenna’s dangerous suplex game. Another match expected to have a lot of matwork and good ol’ wrestling.
Helena Lundgren (Blackwood Academy) versus Lamont Aldren (Wrestle Parade) Up next is Helena Lundgren, returning with the intention of avenging her loss in her previous Butterfloor appearance. Her opponent will be The American Apex’s Lamont Aldren. Like his partner, Aldren is better known for his tag work, but with Keith van Horne focused on singles contention in Butterfloor, Lamont seems to be exploring his own singles options.
Leona Sterling (Phoenix Rising) versus Bradley Carr Alright, the less said about Leona’s recent record, the better. Forget bridesmaid, the poor woman isn’t even getting invited to weddings at this point. That said, the rumor mill says Leona has (once again) worked overtime to improve herself even more, and this match just might show the fruits of her labor. Her opponent, Bradley Carr, is also down on his recent luck, at a disappointing 1-3 in the Mystery Tag Tournament. Can this match be the turning point for either of them?
Trinity Knight (Blackwood Academy) versus Rory Burton I know we brought it up earlier in the card, but given Trinity’s performance in Butterfloor, people would likely have forgotten about it by now… if she didn’t keep calling back to it over and over.
Anyway, Trinity will be facing hometown favorite (and unofficial official Butterfloor representative) Rory Burton. Arguably the highest profile opponent Trinity has faced thus far in Butterfloor, and on an oiled-up mat for the first time, this will be her biggest test yet on the floor of butter.
The B.E.C. (Skidmark and Mega Meat from Wrestle Parade and Big Bubba Bob from TIPWF)
versus
Lexie Barrett and Priya Mallaya (Valkyrie Pro) and Abbie Jones (SWA) While most of Butterfloor’s action has been limited to singles and doubles tag matches, some larger factions have started forming. Two of those factions will now meet, as three out of the four B.E.C. members take on Lexie’s growing number of… friends? Partners?
Anyway, in what is probably a very unwise move, the booking staff taking cues from the rash of zombie attacks, and so this match will be under tornado elimination rules. They tried billing it as “zombie outbreak rules,” but marketing squashed that idea, and I think we all know that’s for the best.
Harrison Howard versus Oak Man In something of a beef match, Harrison Howard is looking to avenge his tag partner’s set loss to Oak Man. Given Harrison’s loss streak leading up to this match, though, that might be a tall order, but everyone knows loss streaks and vengeance are two very powerful motivators to overturn the odds.
We also know tomorrow's card for the minishow, for the fifth and final round of the group stage of the Mystery Tag Tournament.
Titania (Phoenix Rising) and Scorpio Noche (Sakura Pro) versus Hannes Lefeuvre and Bradley Carr
Zulu Lionheart (PEWA) and Zhenka Streltsov versus Sam Horne and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising)
Shaka Corbin (Blackrose) and Cannonball Duvall (A.X.E.) versus Tristan Pacheco and Sonny Urquidez (USW-F)
Arthur Evans and Oleg Makos (UCSS) versus Dr.Hypnodra (Wrestle Parade) and Ziggy Rockefeller (Phoenix Rising/Wrestle Parade)

Harrison Howard defeated Oak Man
The Necrolord defeated Harrison Howard
Write-Ups Riley gave it her best shot, and she seemed to be close to a breakthrough, scoring a very narrow two count on the headless specter. But she couldn’t take it all the way, and tapped soon after to a chickenwing facelock.  As expected, both competitors spent most of their efforts vying for position on the mat. Both managed to get spots where they wrestled their way into advantage, but ultimately Edhem would get the win with a stretch muffler.  At the start, it seemed as if the stylistic differences favored Virginia, as they took the early momentum. But as the match wore on, Liz started finding openings for her suplexes and more ways for her to take advantage on the mat. It wasn’t a knockout, but Liz took the win with a lifting suplex into a pin.  Don’t let the official rating or outcome fool you. Helena went out and put on a show in the ring, going for everything in her arsenal, including a running dive — and on an oiled up mat, no less! Despite Lamont’s experience and multiple triple-suplexes winning out in the end, Helena had a very impressive showing.  It’s a small step, but Leona’s continued training is starting to show fruit. She showcased a new guillotine variant in the later portions of the match, and after a few applications, got the tap.  Trinity’s relationship with biting really is on a pendulum. Some weeks it seems like she’s deliberately trying to not use it (usually unsuccessfully, succumbing to the urge late into the match, but still), and other weeks it’s the first thing she goes for. This match was one of the former, with the two having a competitive back-and-forth for much of the match. Then, just shy of fifteen minutes into the match, Trinity tried to bite Rory no less than three times. Perhaps thrown off, Rory tried to start something on the mat, but Trinity reversed the situation into a double arm bar for the submission.  Outside of a few missteps, the B.E.C. have looked incredibly dominant in Butterfloor. Not until Lexie’s coalition has another stable been in a position to challenge them. In the match, while it was a chaotic mess in the ring (as anyone could have predicted), slowly but surely Lexie’s friends wore down the big boys until they won, without having any of their own team eliminated.  For their grudge match, Harrison and Oak Man had a competitive back and forth series. The match started out rather slow, but it built up, before Howard finally got the win with a decisive powerbomb. The victory might have been cause for celebration, but…  Seemingly out of nowhere, a hooded figure appeared on the ramp. He announced his intentions to unlock the powers of undeath sealed beneath the Butterfloor ring. While Harrison tried to make the match competitive, the hooded man — the Necrolord — and his otherworldly powers proved far, far too much.
“Ah ha ha ha! That was just a taste of my supreme power. Now I have Harrison Howard’s soul in my possession. With every soul I collect, my already immense power grows further. Not to mention the addition of more useful thralls in my army.
“Now, hypothetically, were someone to defeat me, I suppose it might be possible for someone to free a stolen soul and return the person to their normal alive mode of existence. But of course, that is a ridiculous notion.
"But that was merely the first step on my inevitable path to my ultimate goal. I shall return soon...."

Quick Results
Hannes Lefeuvre and Bradley Carr defeated Titania (Phoenix Rising) and Scorpio Noche (Sakura Pro)
Zulu Lionheart (PEWA) and Zhenka Streltsov defeated Sam Horne and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising)
Shaka Corbin (Blackrose) and Cannonball Duvall (A.X.E.) defeated Tristan Pacheco and Sonny Urquidez (USW-F)
Arthur Evans and Oleg Makos (UCSS) defeated Dr.Hypnodra (Wrestle Parade) and Ziggy Rockefeller (Phoenix Rising/Wrestle Parade)
Write-Ups A match mostly for pride than anything, Scorpio Noche and Titania had the most to gain. Noche for potentially making it into top cut, Titania for not going home winless. Unfortunately for them, Hannes and Bradley managed to get a pin on Titania deep in their corner for the win. Stubbornly, Scorpio Noche fought on (and the ref allowed it instead of ending the match), but the writing was on the wall and he too was pinned moments after.  A messy slugfest, both teams traded blows throughout the match. Late into the bout, Horne managed to draw blood from Zhenka on the mat, and the match spilled outside soon after as Horne shoved Zhenka out. That would ultimately prove to be his team’s undoing, as Zulu hit Horne with one last snapmare as the count out ticked down, buying enough time for Horne to get counted out.  For someone who many thought was “cursed” before the MTT, Shaka has really succeeded in the Mystery Tag Tournament. Although Tristan and Sonny did many tag team kicking combinations, Duvall’s speed and Corbin’s power came together as Corbin went for a post-cutter pin in the infamous “Windex corner” while Duvall was still able to make the cutoff despite the distance.  While Evans and Makos took momentum early on, Dr. Hypnodra and Ziggy Rockefeller fought on. At some point in the match, Arthur in particular seemed to be dragging on the match to spend more time shilling his products. To their credit. Dr. Hypnodra and Ziggy took advantage, working the extra time for all they had. Alas, it wasn’t enough, and Arthur eventually got the pin deep in his team’s corner after some corner chops. With the last match of the group stage done, the top cut (in order) were Arthur Evans, Shaka Corbin, Zulu Lionheart, and Zhenka Streltsov. However, with top cut members being allowed to pick each other for their bracket teams, top cut effectively extended all the way down to seventh place. Although some wrestlers may make their own personal announcements about their team, we have here the final teams for the Mystery Tag Tournament. Arthur Evans and Oleg Makos (UCSS) Shaka Corbin (Blackrose) and Zulu Lionheart (PEWA) Zhenka Streltsov and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising) Ziggy Rockefeller (Phoenix Rising/Wrestle Parade) and Cannonball Duvall (A.X.E.) |

Our writing and webmaster staff have been extremely busy playing too much League of Legends sorting out various behind-the-scenes matters, but they've finally managed to pull it all together, just in time to bring you the card for Butterfloor Episode #14! Anita Silva versus Zak Hayes As the end of this title cycle approaches, some attempt to get a head start on the next one. Anita Silva is here to right the ship after her debut loss, while Zak is here to get an appearance after a hiatus. Bradley Carr versus Anaba Camacho (UCSS) Speaking of time between appearances, while Bradley has had regular appearances due to the Mystery Tag Tournament, Anaba has not been seen on the Butterfloor since her debut. Bradley is still trying to bounce back after a losing streak, while Anaba is looking for a better showing than her being knocked out. Rory Burton versus The Necrolord True to his word, the Necrolord has returned, intent on advancing towards a title shot. In his way will be Rory Burton, looking to avenge his soul-stolen teammate. Landon Balls versus ??? Somehow perhaps an even less pleasant return to Butterfloor than the Necrolord, Landon Balls is here after a less-than-statement win against String Bean in his last appearance. This time, Landon has promised an opponent of even higher caliber… not that anyone can judge, since his opponent remains a secret. Zhenka Streltsov and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising) versus Cannonball Duvall (A.X.E.) versus Ziggy Rockefeller (Phoenix Rising/Wrestle Parade)
Keith Van Horne (Wrestle Parade) versus Elizabeth "Liz" McKenna Over the course of this title cycle, the field has been narrowed, and now the last two on the short list look to fight to be the last one standing. The winner of this match will go on to face Lexie Barrett next week for the singles title. Arthur Evans and Oleg Makos (UCSS) versus Shaka Corbin (Blackrose) and Zulu Lionheart (PEWA) Excerpt from a recent Landon Balls video
“Okay, people are trying to start shit because of who I picked as my opponent for my ‘re-debut.’ I told you all this would happen, I knew this would happen, Ballers. That’s why I had already made arrangements for another opponent. I can guarantee you, this person is extremely well-known in the pro wrestling community. That’s undeniable, and you’ll all see it when you see who my opponent is.”
For our last minishow for the month, we'll have the last two matches for the Mystery Tag Tournament, as well as a couple of showcase matches. Cody Sheppard versus Zak Hayes
Mystery Tag Tournament Third Place Match
Concrete Pete (Evergreen) versus Big Bubba Bob (TIPWF) Mystery Tag Tournament Grand Finals

Write-Ups  Butterfloor loves its matwork spectacles, and this match was no exception. Anita worked a lot more striking on the mat while Zak was more focused on vying for position for his chokeholds. Tonight, however, Zak really worked the neck, incorporating a fair few neckbreaker drops, and closing out with a collar lock for the tap.  For whatever reason, Anaba was in a mood for this match and refused to pin after her finisher, the Eagleplex. Despite landing many big suplexes, including multiple Eagleplexes, Anaba’s refusal to close out eventually lead to Bradley finding an opening, and he secured the win with back to back backslides.  Despite what we were lead to believe, it was not the Necrolord himself wrestling, though he was at ringside. Instead, he sent out a now soulless husk of Harrison Howard, forcing teammate to wrestle former teammate. Rory did his best to hold his own, but the power of undeath was too much, and the soulless Howard forced Rory to tap.  Well, Landon Balls said his mystery opponent was well known, and he was right about that. After two… drawn out entrances, the two put on a very competitive and back-and-forth match. At least, according to some online wrestling pundits. Crowd reception was… less positive, with the most cheers happening at hope of a double countout.  The first semifinal of the Mystery Tag Tournament had a clash between honed power and showy technique. Ziggy and Duvall definitely put on a show in the ring, working the crowd to great effect, as well as going toe-to-toe with the unoffically officially named Team Russia with great teamwork. Near the end of the match, Sanya went for a face claw hold deep in the enemy corner, much to the confusion of the audience. But, when some in-ring chaos kept Ziggy occupied, Sanya went for another deep pin on Duvall after a bomb and a dive in the enemy corner, and this time he got three count.  Another very Butterfloor-style match, with plenty of both suplexes and matwork from both sides. Both competitors had their own bouts of momentum. Keith got close to taking it with the family special lariat, Liberty’s Torch, but Liz fought on and kept the match going. Finally, Liz landed her own signature big suplex off the mat, and followed up for the three, securing her spot in next week’s singles title match against Lexie Barrett.  Arthur and Oleg took the early momentum in the other MTT semifinal, but Arthur seemed more focused on promoting his products than pushing their advantage. Despite the early disadvantage, Team Shaka Zulu fought on, slowly but surely clawing back into the match, all the while covering each other to keep either from being hit with Arthur’s wares. Late into the match, Zulu landed a surprise rollup on Oleg, and despite being very close to Team Salesforce’s (name pending) corner, Arthur was unable to land a breakup, and Team Shaka Zulu earned their spot in the MTT Grand Finals. |

Big Bubba Bob (TIPWF) defeated Concrete Pete (Evergreen)
Zhenka Streltsov and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising) defeated Shaka Corbin (Blackrose) and Zulu Lionheart (PEWA)
Write-Ups A rematch of Butterfloor’s first ever match, this one was spent almost entirely on the mat, as everyone expected. Cody took this one with a kneebreaker, tying up his record with his tag partner.  The third place match for the Mystery Tag Tournament, despite being for, well, only third place, still had the audience watching with rapt attention. Once again, Duvall and Ziggy showcased remarkable teamwork, covering each other very well throughout the match. While both were able to maneuver well to escape several potentially nasty spots, they couldn’t escape them all, and ultimately Oleg would take the win with a big powerbomb in his team’s corner.  Definitely a low-stakes match between the two Butterfloor teammates, the pair still put on quite the show. The obvious highlight was the climax, where Bubba “borrowed” Pete’s signature Cement Mixer, and won off it, to the amusement of the crowd… and what many suspect will be to Pete’s annoyance to the end of time.  Two teams that had both won over the crowd faced off in the Mystery Tag Tournament Grand Finals. It was a hard fought battle from both sides. In the end, Zulu was unable to wrestle his way into concrete advantage on the mat, and Shaka struggled to land his power moves in safe positions to pin. Sanya would win the match with a huge facebuster, and would also go on to successfully defend his Top Prospect Championship title in Phoenix Rising’s Grand Ascension later that night. With their victory, Team Russia secures their spot as the next contenders for Butterfloor’s doubles tag title.
“Of course we win. There was never any doubt. And of course we will win next week, too!
<”It might seem cliche or obvious that I would pick my countryman to be my tag partner, but I was already impressed with Sanya’s record going into the tournament. When we had the opportunity to work together during the group stage, that just cemented my decision. Seeing as we won the whole tournament, I’d say I made the right decision.
“Speaking of my tag partner, I had every confidence that Sanya could defend his title later on in the night, and I am very glad to see that confidence ring true. But of course, we will not be stopping here. We will be claiming Butterfloor’s tag titles next week. Of this, neither of us have any doubt.”>

Finally, a card preview with some time to breathe before the show itself. Once again, it's another title defense show, but there's a lot more at stake here on Butterfloor Episode #15! Relatedly, the shift to the 10:15 PM EST timeslot has worked out so well during the MTT that the network has decided to make it permanent. Stanford Bradley Jr. (The Office) versus the Headless Holdsman After winning the TIPWF Dominican Golden Championship and making a (relatively) valiant effort against Colossus Rhodes in defending it, Stanford Bradley Jr. is now looking to face another larger-than-life figure in the Headless Holdsman. But has his match against the Office’s title-sweeping terror gone to his head? Hannes Lefeuvre versus Tristan Pacheco With the Mystery Tag Tournament over, many of Butterfloor’s participants in the MTT are ready to get back into the swing of normal shows. Some may even be particularly eager to do so, if they had less-than-impressive showings. Despite having a statement debut win against Jamie Tomasi, Hannes would go on to end his tournament run at 2-3, and near the bottom of the standings after tiebreakers. Tristan Pacheco similarly also went 2-3 in the tournament. Both of these competitors are looking for a win to get back into the title conversation. Odin Brockhouse versus Walid Alizadeh (UCSS) Ever since Walid Alizadeh debuted in UCSS, there have been rumors and whispers about when, not if, he would make an appearance on the floor of butter. And it seems that time is now, hot off the heels of winning the UCSS Openweight title and his entrance into Morgan “Midas” Matthew’s VIP Club. His opponent will be the ever-belligerent Odin Brockhouse, fearless no matter the stature or prestige of the foe. Mallory Spaulding (Phoenix Rising) versus Sam Horne It’s been something of a mixed bag for Phoenix Rising’s Pure Gold. While they’ve recently picked up two new members who’ve had good showings, they also just lost the World Championship. On a personal note, Spaulding has struggled to pick up wins for herself, distant memory including two losses in Butterfloor. As she tries to get some fresh momentum, she’ll be facing Sam Horne, also looking for some steam after a disappointing 2-3 at the MTT. Abbie Jones (SWA) versus Leona Sterling (Phoenix Rising) People will start to accuse us of copy-pasting if we keep mentioning people trying to get head starts on the next title cycle, but if there’s one person that description would fit best, it just might be Leona Sterling. She’ll be facing Abbie Jones, who’s coming in with some wind in her sails following a singles win against fellow stablemate Priya, and a trios win over the B.E.C.. Zak Hayes versus Candace Monroe (Phoenix Rising) The bookers pinkie promised they’d get Candace a shoot opponent for her next appearance, and especially after her recent victory at the Grand Ascension for PR’s World Championship, it wouldn’t be right to book her against anyone else other than Zak Hayes, one of Butterfloor’s shoot-est wrestlers on the roster. The different style of match and smaller stage might be a welcome change of pace for the new world champion, but distant memory recalls that Zak was the one to force Candace to tap the last time the two met in a ring… Zhenka Streltsov and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising) versus Concrete Pete (Evergreen) and Big Bubba Bob (TIPWF) There is no other way to put it. The B.E.C. have been Butterfloor’s most dominant faction ever since the fed opened its doors. Only Lexie’s recent coalition has even seemed to pose a threat. But now, with the tag titles on the line, a challengers approach. Zhenka Streltsov and Sanya Markov, hot off their Mystery Tag Tournament victory and Sanya's successful Top Prospect title defense, are the first contenders to challenge Pete and Bob specifically in the realm of strength. They might not be as big as the big boys, but there’s no denying their strength is far more refined than just picking people up and sitting on them. Zhenka in his honed strikes and slaps, Sanya in his impressive various powerbombs. Will they be the first ones to cycle the tag titles? Or will the B.E.C. continue their reign? Elizabeth "Liz" McKenna versus Lexie Barrett Despite having a major tournament running throughout this title cycle, the fight for the next singles contender was no less intense. Liz’s win against Lexie some months ago seems so far away, with both women having seen a lot of action since then. Of course, on the line is Butterfloor’s singles title belt… but also, so much more. In truth, this has been in the works for a long while, but it simply wasn’t relevant to mention until now. Butterfloor’s singles title will now be known as the Butterfloor open singles title. Because now, there is a new reward for two successful consecutive title defenses. From now on, whenever a wrestler has two consecutive defenses of the open title, that title is named after that wrestler, or named whatever the two-time defender wants. (Within reason; we’re not going to have the Butterfloor Dickbutt Singles Title.) No matter how many times that title might then change hands, be defended, or even retired, that title will always be named after that champion. After that, a new open title is made, and so the cycle continues, with open title matches continuing to be every five shows, while the newly named title will be defended whenever relevant. (Butterfloor reserves the right to change the conditions for earning a named title. Every new title we make is more free butter we have to give away, you know.) And of course, on the line right now is Butterfloor’s first singles title. If Lexie Barrett wins, she not only continues her title reign, but cements herself in Butterfloor history forever. If Elizabeth McKenna wins, she will begin her own path towards posterity in Butterfloor’s annals. Zak Hayes
“People talking about how ‘Candy’ over here won Phoenix Rising’s World Cup, how she’s now the Phoenix Rising World Champion after their Grand Ascension. I’m not gonna say those aren’t impressive accomplishments. But what sticks out to me is how I was the one who got her to tap, last time we were in the ring together, the Bunch’a Amateurs against the Limbtakers. It's a whole different kind of show in this ring. And if I can win the two-on-two, I can for sure win the one-on-one on that mat.”
Lexie Barrett
“I haven’t made many appearances in Butterfloor lately. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve had more appearances in Office shows than in Butterfloor ones this past month. To be frank, upper management hasn’t been happy with my title reign ever since I won the thing.
“As it turns out, it’s hard to put a porn star front and center in your advertising. Bad enough their ‘officially’ sponsored wrestlers haven’t been winning, but their top ‘star’ is someone they can’t even leverage in their marketing. The second public opinion on me started to shift even a little after that draw with Nicole — even before then — they’ve been looking for reasons to shuffle me off into obscurity.
“Which is why I’m going to win this week. That title is going to be named after me. Butterfloor’s first title is going to be named after me. Then they won’t be able to deny it anymore. I’m Butterfloor’s first and best champion — forever.”
Elizabeth “Liz” McKenna
“People have asked me, of all the ways to promote women’s Greco-Roman wrestling, why go into professional wrestling? The simple truth is that professional wrestling has a reach that other combat sports don’t have, and given my YouTube channel was already focused on other forms of wrestling, it was a natural expansion of my brand.
“Many other people with similar backgrounds to me have diversified their style upon being a pro wrestler, but not me. I’m committed to the sport I love, and I’m committed to winning or losing like a traditional Greco-Romanist.
“Of course, when I win this week, the title isn’t going to be instantly named after me. But it’ll be a start. And when I finally get there, everyone will know where to look for where I got my success.”

Sanya Markov "For the most part... since I began my career, I have stood alone, fighting for only my own personal glory, never needing to stand beside someone else in order to be known as the best... the strongest. But there's been a steady flow since my arrival... seeing my fellow Russians as part of something more, dominant as they carve their paths.
Now I arrive after forcing everyone else in this tournament to recognize... there is nothing you can do to stand in my way, nor any Russian you can face. There's only one outcome when Team Russia steps into that ring in search of the championships... Victory." Concrete Pete "Y'know, from the moment I first got my name out there in Evergreen two years ago, people have had their thoughts about me. Thinking I can't be as tough or as dangerous as people are saying. That I couldn't have possibly been the absolute goddamn wrecking ball that you know I am two years later. You've damn well seen it in Evergreen, in PEWA, in Golden Touch, and of course... in Butterfloor.
Two years of tearing shit up and sometimes you still get someone thinkin' 'well damn, the big guy can't move, can't hold up to the guy across the ring'. So lemme set this straight right now.
I don't care what country you're from. I don't care how 'big and bad' you think you are. I don't care how hard you stomped through the tournament. This title right here? This represents the biggest damn achievement of my career to date. And you got no chance of takin' it off my shoulder. Not happening. Sanya Markov's a big fish in a small pond that is Proving Ground. Me? I've come through a firestorm in comparison by fightin' in Evergreen all the time... so I'll give ya' this much, Sanya...
You pull this off? You and Zhenka (speakin' of which, somethin' weird about that guy...) actually win this thing? Then you bring your ass over to Evergreen this month and I'll show you how it's fucking done." |

Write-Ups Four minutes and thirty-one seconds. That just about summarizes how the match went better than any comments could.  Perhaps Hannes just isn’t cut out for tag matches. Hannes was in control for the whole match, finally ending it with his signature arm throw technique.  Undoubtably the biggest upset of the night. The match was competitive, but Odin seemed to have an edge throughout the match. Of greatest note was Odin’s success in wrestling Walid on the mat, successfully wrestling his way into advantage multiple times. Despite Odin sometimes behaving like he belongs in a hardcore promotion, tonight’s performance showed why he’s a respected, if inconsistent, Butterfloor member.  Sam Horne made multiple attempts to brawl it out on the mat, but that might not have been the wisest idea against Mallory. And Horne paid the highest price possible for the risk, with Spaulding lifting him up and dropping him down hard for the knockout.  Although most of Butterfloor’s matches revolve around grappling, this one was very much a striking contest, with both competitors trading strikes and looking for multiple strike combinations. Late in the match, Abbie pivoted to a submission strategy targeting Leona’s leg, but Leona would take the match with one final combination for the pin.  While some might have expected a lot of extended grappling spots, this match was mostly defined by trading blows, with flashes of matwork quickly cashed out into damage. As the match drew towards the climax, Zak had the momentum and was pushing for the win. Finally, Zak attempted to seal the deal with Candace’s own signature knee lock, but Candace fought on, and would return the favor with her a legbreaker of her own for the win.  While not a squash by any means, the B.E.C. seemed to always be one step ahead of the Russians. Multiple times, Sanya and Zhenka would dump their opponents on the outside on their side of the ring and start brawling, but it didn’t seem to produce much of an advantage. After a slugfest of a match, Bubba would get the tap from Zhenka, continuing the B.E.C.’s dominance in tag matches. With every victory, the question only grows: Who can beat Butterfloor’s most dominant team?  The match might have been short, but it was definitely intense. Right from the start, Liz landed a big lifting drop on Lexie, and the match was on. The two women spent almost the whole match wrestling for position on the mat. Liz would try to position for big suplexes, while Lexie would try to counter out with her own leglocks. Finally, as the match reached a fever pitch, Lexie landed her Money Shot for the tap. Now and forevermore, Butterfloor’s first title will be named the Lexie Barrett Singles Title. With that, a new open title will be created, and will be contested in five weeks. |

And so begins another title cycle... but this time, with another title in play. Here's the card for Butterfloor Episode #16! Anita Silva versus Arthur Evans While Arthur Evans went through the group stage of the MTT undefeated, he ultimately finished third in the bracket. He now looks to get a foothold in his singles career, facing one Anita Silva who is looking to do much the same with her own first win in Butterfloor. Cody Sheppard versus Hannes Lefeuvre After a win over Tristan last week, Hannes now faces someone closer to his martial arts roots in Cody Sheppard. Cody himself is on a bit of a cold streak right now, and no doubt wants to get some more wins under his belt. Helena Lundgren (Blackwood Academy) versus Zhenka Streltsov While Helena has put on some very impressive performances in Butterfloor, she’s yet to have an actual win. Her next opponent, however, won’t be a freebie, facing MTT winner and (failed) title contender Zhenka Streltsov. Skidmark (Wrestle Parade) versus Oleg Makos (UCSS) The B.E.C. may continue to retain the tag titles, but that doesn’t mean they’re satisfied. Skidmark looks to enter contention for one of Butterfloor’s singles titles, while Oleg is here after being selected as Arthur’s tag partner for the MTT, and having beaten Lexie Barrett in her first appearance outside of Butterfloor. The Privileged (Michelle Rochefort and Revon Beauregard from Wrestle Parade) versus Lexie Barrett and Priya Mallaya (Valkyrie Pro) Speaking of the continuing Lexie Barrett Singles title holder, she and Priya are once again tagging together. Seeking to get into tag title contention after losing their first tag debut, they’ll be facing former title contenders in The Privileged. Landon Balls versus Rei Hasegawa (Lightning Pro) After… displeasure at Landon Balls’ surprise opponent, the influencer has made his next opponent of choice public ahead of time. The thematic connection is… tentative at best, but there’s no denying that Rei Hasegawa is regarded significantly more highly than Rex Burning. The Limbtakers (Candace Monroe from Phoenix Rising and Ruthless Nicole Alger from UCSS) versus Shaka Zulu (Shaka Corbin from Blackrose and Zulu Lionheart from PEWA) Individually, the Limbtakers are on top of the world right now, with Candace Monroe a world champion and RNA looking for her own singles gold in the near future. The team is looking to put their ambitions together to get their first shot at Butterfloor’s tag titles, but also vying for their spot is fan favorite and second place team at the MTT, Shaka Zulu.

Episode #16 Results Quick Results
Anita Silva defeated Arthur Evans
Cody Sheppard defeated Hannes Lefeuvre
Winifred Wright, Rilantha De Nav, Helena Lundgren, and Zhenka Streltsov defeated zombies
Skidmark (Wrestle Parade) defeated Oleg Makos (UCSS)
The Privileged (Michelle Rochefort and Revon Beauregard from Wrestle Parade) defeated Lexie Barrett and Priya Mallaya (Valkyrie Pro)
Landon Balls defeated Rei Hasegawa (Lightning Pro)
Shaka Zulu (Shaka Corbin from Blackrose and Zulu Lionheart from PEWA) defeated The Limbtakers (Candace Monroe from Phoenix Rising and Ruthless Nicole Alger from UCSS)
Write-Ups Arthur might have tried to put his infamous products to good use, but Anita’s proper MMA skill combined with her own dirty tricks got her her first Butterfloor win.  Hannes seemed to have all the momentum in the match, dealing noticeable damage to Cody’s arms. But Cody’s relentless aggression despite it all was rewarded, eventually getting him the win.  Ever since that first fateful zombie attack, the Blackwood Academy has made a point to send Academy trainers along. And their cautiousness was rewarded: Between neutralizing the numbers advantage of the zombies and Winifred and Rilantha’s veteran skill, the ordeal was dealt with relatively painlessly. Rilantha got three of the eliminations… not that anyone might have been counting for some feud or other.  The B.E.C. continue their dominance, as Skidmark remained in control for most of the match, landing several big bombs to get the win.  For all of Lexie and Priya’s antics, it wasn’t enough for them to get the win over Michelle and Revon. While the match was certainly competitive, The Privileged and their greater experience working as a tag team prevailed as Revon was able to get a tap even deep in the enemy corner.  A strange match, from start to finish. First, Landon Balls landed a harsh kick to Rei Hasegawa’s leg a mere two minutes into the match, and it seemed like the match would be over, but she insisted she could keep going. Then, referee Patrick Campbell made what can only be honestly called atrocious pin counts, counting when Landon was nowhere near Rei, let along attempting a pin. After a count to three on an obviously not pinned Rei Hasegawa, the arena erupted. Trash was hurled into the ring. Rei and Keiko themselves went to give the ref a piece of their mind. A few unruly spectators even jumped into the ring and started chaos. In the hullabaloo, Patrick Campbell slipped away, and eventually the ring was restored to order.  Thankfully, the night would end on a high note. Team Shaka Zulu came roaring out from the start, applying their high intensity offense combined with great teamwork. But the Limbtakers hung on, slowly mounting a comeback with their own teamwork, notably some interesting combinations where Candace went low and Nicole went high. But in the end, Candace went to start something on the mat with Zulu, but Zulu reversed the situation into a triangle choke for the win.
Ppl want to bitch about the win, but haters can’t deny her shoulders were on the mat when the ref counted to three. My bro is the real deal.

Controversy might be stirring in the shadows of last week's show, but the march of time goes on, and so does the show. This the card for Butterfloor Episode #17!
(Speaking of controversy, those keeping a finger on the pulse of the Balls-Hasegawa incident might notice Butterfloor's lack of a statement on the match and Patrick Campbell...)
Sam Horne versus Leona Sterling (Phoenix Rising) Horne’s roughhouse style meets Sterling’s trained technique in this show’s opener. Leona’s finally found some momentum on her path to what many suspect is contendership for the Open Title, but can she keep it against Horne’s simple but effective brawling? Blair Taylor (The Office) versus Bradley Carr Blair Taylor has faced both big guys and technical experts since her professional debut, but not both in one combination until now. Bradley Carr might have had a rough MTT, but his singles record remains impressive and is looking to prove his most recent win wasn’t just from Anaba Camacho’s funny mood. Blair’s developed a reputation for fast matches (win or lose), but can she flash pin Butterfloor’s resident big man? Ruthless Nicole Alger (UCSS) versus Elle Barrett (Wacker Drive Revival) Ever since Nicole and Lexie’s ill-ended title match, the Alger and Barrett families have been entangled in a strange feud. It might not be a particularly bad-blooded feud (Nicholas Alger’s papa bear issues aside), but the two families have definitely gotten more competitive. To that end, RNA will face Lexie’s aunt Elle, in what the rumor mill suspects is a lead-up to a title shot against Lexie next show… Mallory Spaulding (Phoenix Rising) versus Rory Burton As Pure Gold seeks to regain footing back home, Mallory herself is just finding wind in her sails in Butterfloor. Trying to keep moving forward, she’ll face one of Butterfloor’s “unofficial official” representatives, the ever-popular Rory Burton. Walid Alizadeh (UCSS) versus Cody Sheppard While some might have claimed to see the writing on the wall after Alizadeh’s narrow victory over Dangerous Nicholas Alger, few would have predicted his first public loss to be against the untamed goose of Butterfloor. Now Walid looks to bounce back, but to do so, he has to overcome one of Butterfloor’s most relentless grapplers in Cody Sheppard, who is coming off his own win last show. Zhenka Streltsov and Sanya Markov (Phoenix Rising) versus The Bingo Hall Mutants (Rampage Rage and Skullface Killah from PEWA) The popularly-named Team Russia might have failed to capture Butterfloor’s tag titles, and are unofficially locked out of another title shot for a cycle, but that won’t stop them from trying to gatekeep other teams. That said, they’ve got one hell of a team in front of them. The Bingo Hall Mutants’ reputation precedes them, but are their teething problems in Butterfloor completely behind them? Candace Monroe (Phoenix Rising) versus Lexie Barrett For the night’s main event, a cross-promotion champion showdown. Both women might feel like underdogs despite their champion status, but both of them have proven themselves time and time again. There might not be any titles on the line this time, with the rumor mill suggesting Candace is angling at Butterfloor’s open title, but there’s no doubt this match has the potential to be great. And hey, beating one of Butterfloor’s champions can only look good in making a case in being one of the next open title contenders… |

A message from Ruthless Nicole Alger
Ruthless Nicole Alger: So this is where I'm supposed to cut a promo. Talk, talk, talk. Tell everyone I'm winning. Run my mouth. But I've done enough of that. You all know what this is about. Me, and Lexie. Title on the line. Last time, nobody was satisfied. Not her, not me, nobody. It was frustrating. I wanted more. So now I'm getting more. I'm gonna make sure I take control. Work her over until she can't stand it anymore. And I'll lock things in so far that she'll have nowhere to go. That's what I do. That's what a Limbtaker does.
RNA: Candace got hers in Phoenix Rising. Now I'm getting mine in Butterfloor. I'm proud of Candace. She's the best. But I can't just watch her win hers. I gotta get my own gold. Have to have something to show for myself. And this is my best chance. Lexie, she's...Lexie. A lot tougher, more dangerous. Here and in UCSS. But she got the belt. That says a lot. Says she's more than a pretty face. That she isn't just talk. So if she can get the belt, I can beat her for the belt. I just haven't done it yet.

Hey where last week's results and this week's match descriptions Look everyone has off for the holidays and we are very short staffed at the moment so here are the matches for Butterfloor Episode #18! Virginia Caldwell (Blackwood Academy) versus Mega Meat (Wrestle Parade)
Tristan Pacheco versus Sam Horne
Blair Taylor (The Office) versus Odin Brockhouse
Hannes Lefeuvre versus Edhem Yavas
Bunch'a Amateurs (Cody Sheppard and Zak Hayes) versus The American Apex (Keith Van Horne and Lamont Aldren from Wrestle Parade)
Oak Man versus Concrete Pete (Evergreen)
Ruthless Nicole Alger (UCSS) versus Lexie Barrett Lexie Barrett
“So Nicole wants to go another round with me? Honey, you couldn’t even beat my aunt. I love Auntie Elle, but I’m the one with the title. The title, by the way, that’s named after me. It’s literally my title. If someone had been able to beat me the last time we tangled, we wouldn’t be here.
“And do you remember who I got tangled up with last week? Your little girlfriend and fellow Limbtaker Candy. Do you remember who was on top after all that? And don’t even think about coming at me with some revenge angle, because you and I both know she enjoyed that match.”
Lexie giggles.
“You couldn't take the title off me back when it was just the singles title, and you think you can take it off me now that it's named after me? But just for you, Nicki, there won’t be any countouts this time around. So we can go all night long on the floor if you like. I wouldn't want you to go home unsatisfied. I always aim to please. But just remember: Long nights are something I’m very, very experienced in.”
