  Lightning Pro x Wacker Drive Revival: The PAC is Back 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, April 8th at Wacker Drive Revival in Chicago, IL Main Event: The Loop Championship Bout The Syndicate(Lucretia DeCavalcante and the Goodfellas(Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod)(C) with Mr. Cobra(SWA)) vs. Bemba's Royal Court(Mr. Moonsault, Yetunde Oya and Esther Musambi with Lord Senton(Blue Thunder)) Victorious Medal #1 Contender Bout Steve Phillips vs. Kosuke "Choppu" Arai Kojiro Burai(Phoenix Rising) vs. ALEXANDER Ayako Miyamaoto with Kaede Kinoshita vs. Kengo Tamura with Koji Sawada Return of Iceberg Fitness Test Gauntlet Iceberg vs. String Bean, Robbie Roberts, Jeff and Neil ARENA(Arisa Hashimoto and Rena LeBlanc) vs. House of Nakajima(Kaori Nakajima and Hinari)(Rose Garden) Takayuki Ueda vs. Blair Taylor Rimi Kondo Debut Match Rimi Kondo with Rumika Hashi vs. Josie J. Jett Preliminary Main Event G.P. Christopher, Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi and Yuriko Masamune vs. The PAC(Anthony Kalb, Kevin Fitsharris and "Showtime" Byron Worthy(Warrior Pro) with Monica Tesfaye) --- Senator Emeritus Steve Phillips: I offer my welcome to my esteemed constituents across the wrestling world on this wonderful day. This is truly a day for celebration, a moment to reflect on the effort and sacrifice that so many put into this unique sporting endeavor. Some may wonder just why I am addressing you at this moment, and fear not, I shall address your queries! Phillips: Today is the culmination of a number of converging factors. I have cashed in some well-stored capital and secured some important favors in my dealings with Lightning Pro management to do so. It was essential to do so, for this is the time the PAC is finally intact once more. The ever-popular duo of Arisa Hashimoto and Rena LeBlanc, collectively known as ARENA are both healthy and ready to take on the House of Nakajima. My longtime ally Kevin Fitsharris is recovered, teaming with one of the most exciting stars in the game, Showtime Byron Worthy, and the final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place, as Anthony Kalb can finally return from his ill-advised escapade in challenging the ZIP Strikebot to team with the aformentioned Fitsharris and Worthy to go up against a team captained by the King of the Openers, George Paul Christopher in the Preliminary Main Event. Phillips: And yet, that is not all that the PAC has to offer for this evening. Some may say that a match between the legendary Kosuke Arai and myself may be better suited to an encounter in the Old Guard division. While I mean no disrespect to the talented competitors that ply their trade in the seasoned veteran department, I believe that Mr. Arai has proven that he is not just able to keep pace with the younger talent in the industry, but has experienced an unparalled late career renaissance, matching quality with quantity as he has maintained an impossible schedule across multiple promotions. As such, I believe that he is more than deserving of an opportunity to reach for the top prize of Lightning Pro, the vaunted Victorious Medal. But nothing is worth having that is not properly earned. And it may well betray my own personal ego that I believe that my resume of work across my own storied career well suits me to provide the crucible for Mr. Arai. Phillips: This is the case I made to Chairman Shima Ito and the Lightning Pro board. And it was a successful one, as you see, for I intend not just to pit myself against the blistering chops and iron fortitude of Mr. Arai, but to serve as the next challenger for the winner of the impending contest between the Stardust Angel, Kaede Kinoshita and her forthcoming foe, the Rookie Killer, Koji Sawada, two of the brightest young stars in the entirety of combat sports. Kosuke, I do not doubt that you will leave me with the indelible memories of a tremendous struggle, but I forewarn you that when you step into the ring with me, you enter into battle with the newsmaker, the headline breaker, the office taker, the world shaker, the roughest, toughest, most intelligent son of a gun ever to set foot inside the squared circle, you will compete with the Senator Emeritus, Steve Phillips! Phillips: Now, let me not monopolize my time here merely addressing my own alliance and my own match, for this program is much more than what we have to provide. In the main event, Bemba's Royal Court has proven time and time again that even with the absence of their powerful captain, they remain a squad as dangerous and relevant as ever, with the statuesque Kenyan, Esther Musambi accomplishing that which even I could not, as she eradicated the imposing Mr. Cobra. They will take on the holders of The Loop trophy in the Syndicate, and I do not fear that I reveal my bias in stating that I will be offering my support to the Court in their endeavors. Phillips: This, of course, is only the icing on the cake, and to delve into the core of the offering, I will speak of a match that I may boldly predict to be one of the very best, not just of the night, but of the entire year, with the surging Kojiro Burai going up against the ambitious general of Worldwide Conquest, ALEXANDER. The massive force of Charles Berg will be seen once more in the Office as Iceberg returns from his victory at the Fullbug Memorial Tournament in Pro Wrestling Revival to face a four pronged set of obstacles in a fitness and endurance gauntlet, one which I have full confidence he will surpass with ease. Phillips: I have mentioned the Victorious Medal bout scheduled between our champion, Kaede Kinoshita and Koji Sawada, and tonight, their closest allies, Kinoshita's good friend and rival from her time in the Lightning Pro Dojo, the judo perfectionist, Ayako Miyamoto will go up against PEWA Original, the Ronin from Yokohama, Kengo Tamura. The Orange Surge, Takayuki Ueda now joins the Lightning Pro roster full time following his graduation from the Dojo, and will face his first match on the main roster against the pacifist flash pin phenom, Blair Taylor. Finally, replacing Ueda as the Dojo representative on the main roster, Rimi Kondo will make her official debut on Office programming, accompanied by her mentor, Rumika Hashi as she goes up against the retro soul sensation of the Blue Notes, Josie J. Jett. Phillips: This is a night of wrestling that could rival any offering presented this year and I invite one and all to spend their time here on the Senatorial Streaming Service with us. I make no promises that I do not intend to keep, and as such, I promise you that if you consider yourself a fan of professional wrestling, this will be an event that you will not regret experiencing. |

The best match of the year thus far in the Office graced a quality card for Lightning Pro as the PAC returned in force and The Loop saw a heated challenge. RESULTS Lightning Pro x Wacker Drive Revival: The PAC is Back 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, April 8th at Wacker Drive Revival in Chicago, IL Bonus Match Lord Senton(Blue Thunder) vs. Phil Mercury  Quality high energy showing from both men, but the Superstar Showman came through in the later phases of the bout, eventually hitting a Go 2 Sleep on Lord Senton for the pinfall. Main Event: The Loop Championship Bout The Syndicate(Lucretia DeCavalcante and the Goodfellas(Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod)(C) with Mr. Cobra(SWA)) vs. Bemba's Royal Court(Mr. Moonsault, Yetunde Oya and Esther Musambi with Lord Senton(Blue Thunder))  A wild fracas of a match that saw a fairly early elimination of Lucretia DeCavalcante by Mr. Moonsault with his trademark finisher. The Goodfellas would have to fight a holding effort for the rest of the match, with Eddie the Wire snapping Esther Musambi down with a Wire Cutter to even things up, only for Yetunde Oya to catch Tony the Rod with a fish hook submission, and with fifteen minutes to go, Eddie the Wire would have to survive. And yet, survival has always been a key skill of the Made Men, and thanks to some timely assistance from his allies at ringside, the Wire would hold on long enough to reach the time limit, allowing the Syndicate to retain The Loop...but just barely. Victorious Medal #1 Contender Bout Steve Phillips vs. Kosuke "Choppu" Arai  Surprisingly one-sided win for the former Senator as he worked over Kosuke Arai, even out chopping him at several points. While Arai showed some toughness, a Victory Driver inverted brainbuster lift death valley bomb would conclude the match with emphasis. Steve Phillips has set himself up for a blockbuster showdown for the Victorious Medal with this win. Kojiro Burai(Phoenix Rising) vs. ALEXANDER  The best match of 2022 for L-Pro? The Office? All of pro wrestling? It remains to be seen if this is the case, but without a doubt, this was above and beyond the best of the show with ALEXANDER and Kojiro Burai both bringing their absolute best. Both men utterly pummeled each other with their best moves, showing a force of will and determination beyond expectation. When it seemed that nothing at all could have finished this match off, Burai would plant his foe down with a running high angle stomp to finally net the three count. One thing is for sure; Kojiro Burai has finally arrived in full force, and all of Lightning Pro is on notice with this win. Ayako Miyamaoto with Kaede Kinoshita vs. Kengo Tamura with Koji Sawada  Only a little over four minutes with Ayako Miyamoto absolutely planting Kengo Tamura with a ferocious seoi nage shoulder throw, forcing the early stoppage as the champion, Kinoshita and her upcoming challenger, Sawada watched on. Return of Iceberg Fitness Test Gauntlet Iceberg vs. String Bean, Robbie Roberts, Jeff and Neil  Iceberg started slowly in this one, not gaining an elimination until he speared Robbie Roberts at fourteen minutes in. Neil would be the next out, knocked out by an Icehammer. Jeff fell next with a spear, and while String Bean held on for a bit, one more Icehammer would knock him out as well to give Charles Berg the dominant win. ARENA(Arisa Hashimoto and Rena LeBlanc) vs. House of Nakajima(Kaori Nakajima and Hinari)(Rose Garden)  A glorious return to action for the long legged beauties of ARENA, who more than held their own against "Mamajima" and Hinari, fending off former's impressive technical skills with Rena LeBlanc hitting her high angle Cajun Moon moonsault on Kaori Nakajima for the pin. The House and ARENA will almost certainly match up again, with their feud continuing as both the PAC and the House of Nakajima declare for a shot at The Loop, or perhaps other L-Pro titles. Takayuki Ueda Main Roster Promotion Match Takayuki Ueda vs. Blair Taylor  The Orange Surge justified a good deal of his hype on his full main roster debut, with the super prospect managing to avoid Blair Taylor's dangerous flash pins, showcasing his impressive ground game and landing a brilliant, impactful twisting splash off the top for the win. Ueda has been slated as one of the pillars of L-Pro's future, and a win like this demonstrates a measure of the potential that many have seen in him. Rimi Kondo Debut Match Rimi Kondo with Rumika Hashi vs. Josie J. Jett  A competent debut for Rumika Hashi's protege, but it's clear that Rimi Kondo will have a long route to reach the top as Josie Jett clearly outclassed her, eventually winning with a corner boot to the face, one of her Jukebox Jolt variations. Preliminary Main Event G.P. Christopher, Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi and Yuriko Masamune vs. The PAC(Anthony Kalb, Kevin Fitsharris and "Showtime" Byron Worthy(Warrior Pro) with Monica Tesfaye)  Solid showing for all participants, with the returning Capitalists both looking sharp, Byron Worthy working his mat game, Yuriko Masamune using her veteran experience and GPC keeping things moving. The star of this one, though, was the Pan African Ambassador, Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi, with the Nigerian showcasing some of the most spectacular moves of the match including his Air Nigeria diving elbow and eventually tapping out the durable Anthony Kalb with an omoplata crossface. --- Match of the Night: ALEXANDER vs. Burai -There was no way anything else could possibly have competed here against this top tier struggle of a match that could well rank as one of the very best in the entire history of the Senatorial Office. Performer of the Night: Steve Phillips -A dominating showing by Phillips demonstrating that the Office's founder still has a lot left in the tank, all the more impressive considering the quality of Kosuke Arai's recent showings before and after this match. --- Injury Report Neil: Unspecified Back Injury (One Month Medical Suspension) Thanks to a thunderous Icehammer fireman carry jackhammer from Iceberg, Neil was taken out of his match, and will miss a month of action in the Office as a result. String Bean: Unspecified Back Injury (One Month Medical Suspension) Just like Neil, String Bean was injured by an Icehammer and like his fellow ENHANCE member, will take a month off. Kengo Tamura: Dislocated Shoulder (Two Month Medical Suspension) A seoi nage from Ayako Miyamoto quickly finished the PEWA Original's night, and the harsh shoulder throw ended up dislocating his joint in the process. --- Kevin Anderson: This is World Wrestling Daily Digest Editor in Chief, Kevin "The Internet" Anderson here backstage at Wacker Drive Revival with Steve Phillips following tonight's Lightning Pro event and Phillips's own number one contender victory over Kosuke Arai. Steve, how does it feel to be back in line for a title opportunity? Steve Phillips: This was a splendid night and I feel not unlike Odysseus as he revealed his true identity and reclaimed his estate upon the conclusion of the Odyssey. After so many doubts, so many losses, once again I write a most unexpected chapter to my career. If only I could maintain this feeling for all eternity... Anderson: Now, I always have my finger on the pulse of the IWC, and one thing I keep seeing is that a lot of people think you might not really have deserved this chance, that you jumped back into the spotlight and... Phillips: Forgive my abrupt interjection, but please do allow me to issue a clarification and an update. I have no intention to displace anyone from their rightful path to the Victorious Medal, that is, unless I can prove in the ring that I have earned the right to do so. I am not without my own sources, and I keep my ear to the ground. I have witnessed the resurgence of Charles Berg, winning the Pro Wrestling Revival Fullbug Challenge. And I have also seen the breathtaking performances of Kojiro Burai as he has exceeded even the most outlandish of predictions to prove his own worth. Both of these magnificient competitors have the momentum that could carry them to a championship. As such, I spoke with Lightning Pro Chairman Shima Ito and I requested that a month from now, in the main event of the next event in Kyoto, that I face both Charles Berg and Kojiro Burai in a triple threat match to determine the next true challenger. It is only fair that with the shortcut I took that I beat the very best on my route towards the Medal. Anderson: So, you are going to give... ???: Phillips! Listen up. Anderson: Hold on here, Mr. Moonsault, Marcus Xavier has just walked over to confront Steve Phillips here. Mr. Moonsault: Step back, Anderson, this is between the former Senator and me. Phillips, you and me both know you're back calling some shots around here. You got the clout to make things happen. And I know you saw what happened tonight. The Royal Court should be holding onto The Loop right now. Only reason we aren't is because the time ran out. Phillips: Mr. Xavier, I believe you may have arrived at an erroneous conclusion here, for I merely petitioned for the PAC and myself to... Moonsault: I'm not asking, I'm telling you. Get Ito to give us a rematch as soon as possible. Golden Touch, L-Pro, doesn't matter. We are the best team in this promotion. We're going to take what's rightfully ours. Only question is if you're going to do what you need to do. Phillips: Do you truly believe threatening me will assist in your goals? Moonsault: I'm just telling you what needs to be done. Tell Ito that if he doesn't give us what we need, we're going to do whatever we have to do to get it. That's all. Just pass that message along next time you talk to the Chairman. Anderson: Well, that was intense! Mr. Moonsault, Marcus Xavier looking to get a rematch for the Royal Court, Steve Phillips gambling with his contender chance against two of the most dangerous foes in the world, what else will we see around here? |

 UCSS: Aftermath 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, April 15th at the Doors of Perception in Los Angeles, CA Main Event Hakim Fields, Walid Alizadeh and Zin Win Aye vs. Minerva Markovic, "Big Banter" Rory Banner and Virgil de Boer Churchill vs. Gladstone II Sebastian Churchill(Rose Garden) vs. "Gentleman" Jem Gladstone Red Alert(Leona Sterling(Phoenix Rising) and Aoife Daley) vs. Luta Livre Legacy(Jose Santos and Sophia Rodrigues)(SWA) Lexie Barrett(Butterfloor) vs. Seong Jung Hwan Virigina Caldwell(Phoenix Rising) vs. Dangerous Nicholas Alger American Apex(Keith Van Horne and Lamont Aldren) vs. Aline Richilieu and Della Dwight Chun Zheng(Neutral Grounds) vs. Francine Francis Thiago Gracie vs. "The Enforcer" Damon Smith with Ewan Jacobs(SWA) Jamie Tomasi vs. "Death Prince" Ernest Miller with Ewan Jacobs(SWA) --- Walid Alizadeh: Tonight I am free! Free from the Golden Touch! Free from the VIP! I have had enough of Midas! Tonight is the new night for the Persian Powerhouse! I lost to Hakim Fields fair and square! Midas wanted me to attack him after I lose! I told him I am not his running dog! I am the Persian Powerhouse! I am my own man! Walid will be number one again! But right now, Hakim, number one! Hakim Fields: You said it, man. You and I, we had a real fight out there. You ain't lying when you talk about how strong you are, I felt that out there...but I got my belt back. But here's the thing, you and me, we can see eye to eye. We got that mutual respect that comes from a big battle like that. So you, me, and the new guy, Zin Win Aye, we got to make this work. Let's do this. --- "Big Banter" Rory Banner: Ahem, do pay attention here. For tonight, the Big Banter Brand begins its path back to relevance. As much as it pains me to say it, we had slipped. We failed time and time again. We lost our champion, we lost our chances to regain our status, we were pathetic. But the sign of true class is found over time. And with Minerva Markovic, the Croatian Axe joining our ranks, we will once again regain our elite standing in Universal Combat Shoot Style. We will regain our Openweight title. And we will prove to everyone, including Commissioner Alger and Chairman Midas that the Big Banter Brand is the only brand that truly matters. --- Dangerous Nicholas Alger: So yeah, I got a little challenge here. I'm calling out Virgina Caldwell. I see potential there. I see potential like I saw potential in Candace Monroe. And you see where she is now? So yeah, Virginia, you had a rough go last time. But you're just gettin' started. So you think you can survive the Bermuda Triangle? You think you can deal with the Dangerous Kick? Then come get some! --- Thiago Gracie: Damon Smith, Ernest Miller, they think best way for win is knockout. They no think right! Jamie Tomasi: Yeah, Ewan Jacobs's big bodyguards think they're gonna run in and take our belts now. But Thiago and I aren't going to let that happen. Man, I grew up watching you guys kick ass in BLADE MMA. Looks like you still hit real hard, too. But we're not scared. Miller, you may be the Death Prince, but let's see if you can kick my head off when I got your arm caught! Thiago: Enforcer Smith, punch very hard. But punch means nothing when arm is done. Victory by armbar, is ok, is normal. Thiago Gracie BJJ win matches tonight, keep belts next time. |

Decapitator B: But we never lost the taste of blood and flesh.
Decapitator A: Our master has been resting and licking his wounds from recent excursions and he's been hearing your call outs and cries.
Decapitator B: He knows you've been saying his name and invoking his title. And he agrees with you, there can only be one.
*The camera pans up to the sound of rustling chains which reveals Shrieking Shiek sitting on a throne*

A solid, if somewhat uneventful UCSS show that saw some long term developments begin to play out rather than any abrupt shocks to the system. RESULTS UCSS: Aftermath 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, April 15th at the Doors of Perception in Los Angeles, CA Bonus Match Andronicus Turner with Jumbo Joseph Butt vs. Landon Balls with Tom Balls(Butterfloor)  With rumors of an impending return to full time boxing, Andronicus Turner showed up in top form against Landon Balls, and dispatched the social media star with a five punch combination in the second round for a hard knockout. Bonus Match Gang Wong vs. Ricky "Violence" Valdez  Gang Wong comfortably cruised to a win here, eventually blasting Valdez out with a backflip kick into a pinfall in the third round. Main Event Hakim Fields, Walid Alizadeh and Zin Win Aye vs. Minerva Markovic, "Big Banter" Rory Banner and Virgil de Boer  With Walid Alizadeh having left the VIP Club and Minerva Markovic joining the Big Banter Brand in anticipation of her challenge for Hakim Fields's UCSS Openweight belt, the stage was set for an absolutely brutal encounter between the Brand and three of UCSS's highest profile newcomers over the last year. Fields would end up bleeding, and some heated exchanges were found between Virgil and Zin Win Aye as well as Banner and Alizadeh, with some bad blood boiling between the Banter Brand and their former member in the Persian Powerhouse. In the end, Zin and de Boer would nearly massacre each other in strike exchanges, with Fields entering to finish the match with a stoppage win thanks to his Hapa Elbows to the Muay Thai Machine's head. Fields and Markovic each make it through this match ready for their future encounter for the Openweight title. Churchill vs. Gladstone II Sebastian Churchill(Rose Garden) vs. "Gentleman" Jem Gladstone  Just like the first time around, an absolute master class in vintage English style grappling. Churchill and Gladstone traded back and forth for three rounds of wonderful pure wrestling, but this time around, it would be the Gentleman who came out ahead, wrapping Churchill up in intricate submissions down the stretch and eventually catching him with a counter rollup for the pin. The count is one and one now between the two Englishmen, paving the path to an eventual rubber match on a grand stage. Red Alert(Leona Sterling(Phoenix Rising) and Aoife Daley) vs. Luta Livre Legacy(Jose Santos and Sophia Rodrigues)(SWA)  Tremendous showing for Red Alert, who may have displayed their best team effort to date here, nullifying the ground game of Luta Livre Legacy throughout, and neither allowing Sophia Rodrigues to unleash her lightning flurries. Eventally, Aoife Daley would blast Rodrigues with a Firecracker Punch to the midsection, flooring her for the finish. Red Alert have their moments in the past, but this win could well be what propels them to a legitimate title challenge. Lexie Barrett(Butterfloor) vs. Seong Jung Hwan  Lexie Barrett seemed a bit more serious than usual, and while she had the size and the grappling advantage over her opponent, Seong Jung Hwan's speed and precision striking gave her the edge, eventually landing a running shooting star press to the back in the second round, leading to the pinfall. Virigina Caldwell(Phoenix Rising) vs. Dangerous Nicholas Alger  Virgina Caldwell gave this a solid effort, picking up valuable experience against her legendary opponent, but Alger would prove to be too crafty in the end, securing a third round Bermuda Triangle off a counter sequence on the mat. Caldwell continues to impress, even in defeat, and the future is bright for the Blackwood Academy prospect. American Apex(Keith Van Horne and Lamont Aldren) vs. Aline Richilieu and Della Dwight  American Apex were at their absolute best in this match, soundly outgrappling their taller foes, neutralizing the lenghty kicks of Richelieu. Keith Van Horne would dominate a two on one situation on the outside with his suplexes, and Aldren knocked Richelieu out with a Judgement Slam that sent the Savate queen tumbling out of the ring. Della Dwight, seeking vengeance, demanded a Senatorial Special be put into effect, and the match went on. Dwight even managed to eliminate Van Horne with a two stage dragon style Skyscraper Suplex, but would soon fall to a constricting rear naked choke from Aldren. A great win for American Apex, in spite of the impromptu rules change. Chun Zheng(Neutral Grounds) vs. Francine Francis  Excellent, competitive match that saw the well-balanced striking and grappling of Chun Zheng push Francine Francis to her absolute limit. However, Francis was able to hold on into the fourth round, managing to gain a ten count win off an STO out of the clinch. Thiago Gracie vs. "The Enforcer" Damon Smith with Ewan Jacobs(SWA)  Gracie seemed mostly in control for this match, but it only took a few thunderous punch combinations for the Enforcer to take back the match, with an overhand flurry leading to a third round pinfall win and the sweep for Infamous. Jamie Tomasi vs. "Death Prince" Ernest Miller with Ewan Jacobs(SWA)  Tomasi may have just about wrecked Ernest Miller's arms, but the Death Prince did not need them to unleash two consecutive running pump kicks, the second of which resulted in a ten count loss for the BJJ black belt in the third round. Mr. Judgement as the third man in the ring, replacing Swingin' Suzie for the night as she continued to rest from her knockout loss to Minerva Markovic last month. --- Match of the Night: Churchill vs. Gladstone, American Apex vs. Tall Ladies -A double award issued for the grappling master class between the two elite technicians and the superb, dramatic tag contest, both matches demonstrating some of the best UCSS has to offer. Performer of the Night: Red Alert -Aoife Daley and Leona Sterling may have had their best showing to date against a supremely dangerous pair of foes in Luta Livre Legacy. --- Aline Richelieu: No Diagnosis (No Medical Suspension) -As usual, the towering French Savate queen refused medical attention after Lamont Aldren dropped her out of the ring with a Judgement Slam. Somehow, Richelieu seems immune to the Office's medical protocols. Sophia Rodrigues: Liver Punch (Two Week Medical Suspension) -A Firecracker Punch from Aoife Daley dropped Rodrigues, who merely received a two week medical suspenion, able to appear again in time for next month's UCSS event. Landon Balls: N/A -Butterfloor's social media sensation was floored by a ferocious five punch combo from Andronicus Turner and was obviously knocked out cold. However, the Office cannot provide any medical information on his condition. |

 Golden Touch #20 8:00 PM(CT) on Friday, April 22nd at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC Main Event: Victorious Medal Championship Bout Kaede Kinoshita(C) with Ayako Miyamoto vs. "Rookie Killer" Koji Sawada with Kengo Tamura Landmine Deathmatch: Sheik vs. Sheik The Hindu Sheik vs. Shreiking Sheik(AAW) Settling the Grudge Hana Brightly(Wrestle Parade) vs. Nakajima Sama(Rose Garden) Swamp Racers(Karts Rowdy and Bobby Bobby)(SWA) vs. Blake Dynamite and Jessika Boom(Phoenix Rising) SWA World Heavyweight Title #1 Contender Bout Alex Thompson vs. Mask Legend vs. Dai Fugo vs. Red Dragon Jennie Medici with La Belleza vs. Kaye Fabian(Typhoon Pro) with WHIP Nanae(Typhoon Pro) and Stanford Bradley "Buttered Toast Man" Rory Burton(Butterfloor) vs. Daniel Ness Canadian Dream Team(Allen Hawkins(SWA) and Canadian Grizzly) vs. Shaka Zulu(Shaka Corbin(Rose Garden) and Zulu Lionheart) Boss Ross Foreman Open Challenge Boss Ross Foreman vs. ??? --- Morgan "Midas" Matthews: I have two things to say, and two things only. First, my VIP Club has been enormously disappointing as of late. Second, I understand some were expecting this event to feature the matchup between Colossus Rhodes, the one remaining shining star in my entourage, and Jean-Pierre Mutombo. They assumed things and this match will not take place this week, I will not give you the gift of Colossus on a regular basis any longer, and the TIPWF can stop complaining about the belts they lost to him, as he is not relinquishing them any time soon. Anthony Kalb: Now that Midas said what he was going to say, let me tell you why this week's event is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory! Lightning Pro's most exciting young stars are facing off in a Victorious Medal bout in the main event, with Kaede Kinoshita defending against the Rookie Killer, Koji Sawada. In the co-main, two of the most legendary hardcore warriors of all time will enter into the barbed wire as Jersey's own Shreiking Sheik of AAW goes up against our own PEWA Extreme champ, the Hindu Sheik in a Battle of the Sheiks. Kalb: But if you thought that Golden Touch was just serving you two headline matches with nothing else, then you can think again. You want a big long awaited dream match? Come watch Hana Brightly take on Nakajima Sama. We have the explosive duo of Blake Dynamite and Jessika Boom going up against the Swamp Racers of the SWA. The SWA also presents a four person royale for a shot at Laurence Holland and his Heavyweight title. Looking for some fun? ENHANCE's bombshell, Jennie Medici's going up against the on the spot reporter, Kaye Fabian. The Buttered Toast Man's in the house, up against our head trainer, Daniel Ness, expect some quality ground work there. And before that, you can witness a clash between South Africa and Canada with the teams of Shaka Zulu and the Canadian Dream Team facing off. Kalb: Midas might not want to say much about this, but I know I'm as proud of this card as any I've helped put together in my time as the Head of Operations, or even from when I was the Chairman of the Board. It's got something that I think just about any wrestling fan can appreciate and I know I'm going to have a great time seeing this one in person. |

Some exceptional matches, including a vicious encounter between Hana Brightly and Nakajima Sama and the first meeting of the Hindu Sheik and Shrieking Sheik made for an enjoyable twentieth installment of Golden Touch. RESULTS Golden Touch #20 8:00 PM(CT) on Friday, April 22nd at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC Bonus Match: Evergreen Rules Shrieking Sheik(AAW) and Hindu Sheik vs. The Sheridan Brothers(Vincent Sheridan and Zach Sheridan)(Phoenix Rising)  Dissatisfied with the brevity of their initial encounter, the two Sheiks found a mutual respect...and a shared desire to carve up and batter the Sheridan Brothers, whom they encountered backstage. This match was fought under Evergreen rules by request of the Sheridans, with disqualifications, rope breaks and tagging all thrown out the window for some tornado brutality. And while the Sheridans had their moments, this was clearly a match that favored the Sheiks, who ran roughshod over their foes and the Shrieking Sheik would pin Zach Sheridan with a trademark elbow drop pin after much bloodletting and some distracted pinfall attempts. Bonus Match Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. Kevin Royce(Phoenix Rising)  With JPM demanding to be booked, the challenger for the Senatorial Office #1 decided to go through Head of Operations Anthony Kalb to find the toughest challenge possible heading into his bout against Colossus Rhodes. In Kevin Royce, Mutombo found a challenge, with the Evergreen legend quickly taking charge of the match. Mutombo would never recover from an early chokebomb, and indeed, ten minutes in, Royce would knock his foe out with another application of his deadly finisher. Main Event: Victorious Medal Championship Bout Kaede Kinoshita(C) with Ayako Miyamoto vs. "Rookie Killer" Koji Sawada with Kengo Tamura  Utterly tremendous match that demonstrated the bright future that two of the pillars of Lightning Pro's future have to offer. Koji Sawada used his size and aggression, doing his absolute best to put Kaede Kinoshita away, fighting in and out of the ring. The Stardust Angel, though, showed her absolute class as she responded move for move, eventually landing several Stardust Presses late in the match to score the pinfall victory, defending her Victorious Medal. Kinoshita has already secured her reign with this victory, even with some of the most formidable foes in wrestling looming on the horizon. Landmine Deathmatch: Sheik vs. Sheik The Hindu Sheik vs. Shreiking Sheik(AAW)  The long awaited deathmatch dream match did not disappoint with both men sprinting to the finish in a wonderful flurry of violence that culminated in the Shrieking Sheik dropping his Shrieking Elbow down on the Hindu Sheik's face, pinning the PEWA Extreme champion for a three count. Settling the Grudge Hana Brightly(Wrestle Parade) vs. Nakajima Sama(Rose Garden)  A simple description on page cannot describe the pure spiteful energy that both ladies carried into this match and poured into every exchange. One of the most intensely nasty matches seen in the Office for some time, with both Hana and Nakajima finding various ways to disrespect each other and up the intensity as the match went along, Nakajima stealing Brightly's signature Rainbow Bridge bridging exploder suplex, Brightly responding with several Victory Star Drop style throws out of the corner to land her signature running double knee press, with the second time leading to the win. A match that absolutely managed not just to live up to its high level of hype and anticipation but exceeded it in the end. Swamp Racers(Karts Rowdy and Bobby Bobby)(SWA) vs. Blake Dynamite and Jessika Boom(Phoenix Rising)  Blake Dynamite seems to have found some trouble as of late in tag matches, and despite a quality match against the Swamp Racers, Dynamite and Boom seemed a step behind from the start, Boom especially being taken out of the match in several exchanges. Dynamite would fight his way back in, eventually landing a double lotation moonsault, but did so directly in the Racers's corner, allowing Karts Rowdy to return fire with his Vulture Dive 450 splash for the three. SWA World Heavyweight Title #1 Contender Bout Alex Thompson vs. Mask Legend vs. Dai Fugo vs. Red Dragon  A quality four way contest with Alex Thompson looking like the clear favorite until a diving Yalpagan's Conquest splash from Red Dragon, knocking the giant out. The remaining three engaged in a relentless brawl afterwards until Dragon managed to throw Dai Fugo out of the ring right before delivering a second splash to Mask Legend for the three, but Dai Fugo was determined to earn a challenge against his fellow tag standout in Laurence Holland and caught Dragon with an inverted brainbuster michinoku driver II for the pin and the win. Jennie Medici with La Belleza vs. Kaye Fabian(Typhoon Pro) with WHIP Nanae(Typhoon Pro)  Less of a match and more of a highlight package for Kaye Fabian who utterly demolished Jennie, in spite of the ENHANCE standout's reported improvements, landing a startling array of impressive moves culminating in a brutal rolling manji hold for the submission. It should be noticed that Team Stanford Bradley told their namesake to stay in the back for this one, perhaps knowing that it wouldn't be worth his time to make his way to the ring. "Buttered Toast Man" Rory Burton(Butterfloor) vs. Daniel Ness  Rory Burton mostly kept this standing for two-thirds of this one, and found a good deal of success with his chops and superkicks, but decided to go to the mat more later on, and would regret it as Daniel Ness used his grappling wizardry to take control and clamp on a Peruvian Necktie for the win. Canadian Dream Team(Allen Hawkins(SWA) and Canadian Grizzly) vs. Shaka Zulu(Shaka Corbin(Rose Garden) and Zulu Lionheart)  A solidly competitive match with both teams fighting in and out of the ring, but the Dream Team was a step ahead when it mattered, with Canadian Grizzly reversing Zulu Lionheart on the mat with a cradle pin for the three. Boss Ross Foreman Open Challenge Boss Ross Foreman vs. Rimi Kondo with Rumika Hashi  L-Pro Dojo rookie Rimi Kondo answered the call for the Boss's challenge, and while she seemed mostly outmatched early on, Kondo performed her gameplan to perfection, surviving a brutal lariat into the corner post on the outside and kicking out of multiple lariat combos in the ring before returning fire with her own kicks and heel hooks before managing to pin the big man with a leg scissors rollup. A career forging win for the rookie, who nearly went half an hour with one of the biggest powerhouses in the Office and came out ahead. --- |

So, you know what? It's just another night of hardcore violence here in Philadelphia, PA! Bodybreaker: Now I know I said we were getting younger and fresher around this joint, but when you get a chance to sign up someone like the Shrieking Sheik...you take it, no questions asked. Me and both of the Sheiks are in our main event, because Young Blood can't stop his bitching and whining. So he wants another beatdown, he and his obnoxious buddies can get it!

I see lots of good stuff from the GREAT Toba, and he's gonna get the first ever OG champ here, in P-Dogg. Jayne Payne and Da Outsider've been looking strong the last few months, so they get to take each other on for size. And finally, going back to what I was saying about the youth project here, I got someone that Hobo Harry and I've been bringing up the last few years, we got the Tongan Deathmatch Princess in the making, Melino Tuopu making her PEWA debut, and trust me, you'll want to see what she's bringing tonight.

Check us out tonight at eight central on the Senatorial Streaming Service, and you'll be right where it's at. www.twitch/tv/senatorphillips |

Superb entry in the PEWA library with a wide array of quality matchups living up to their potential and a big developing feud in the main event. RESULTS PEWA: A Serving of Violence (4-29-2022) 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, April 29th at the Halcyon Ballroom in Philadelphia, PA Bonus Match Texas Rose with Fat Burner vs. Eternamente Verde with El Evergringo(Evergreen)  A fast moving match between two standouts in their respective feds, with Verde showing her superiority by catching the technically proficient Rose with the Lucha Libre classic staple, the La Magistral pin. Bonus Match Oak Man(Butterfloor) vs. Skurai  The win for Skurai here was that he was not sent to the hospital by Oak Man. For the Butterfloor import, this was a simple win over an older foe, hitting a destructive ganso bomb for only the three count, thankfully. Main Event: Crew Carnage The Hindu Sheik, Shrieking Sheik, and Bodybreaker Brown vs. PEWA's Most Hated(Young Blood, Jeffrey Janson and "Party Animal" Jeremy Wylde and Zanca)  On a night full of strong matches, this was a stand out. Initially booked as a three on three standard tag encounter, this became a lopsided Crew Carnage affair as Zanca surprisingly joined the PEWA's Most Hated, forcing a three on four tornado elimination bout to happen. This time, the Bodybreaker ended up the first man out, with the PEWA President first out, thanks to a deadly back to back dive combo from Wylde and Young Blood, with the latter pinning him. The Hindu Sheik and Shrieking Sheik fought valiantly, but the Hindu Sheik was next, with a running splash from Jeffrey Janson pinning him following a beatdown from the rest. This left the Shrieking Sheik as the last man standing with over fifteen minutes left to go. And somehow, the AAW Icon held on, not just fending off a vicious onslaught, but landing moves of his own, surviving all the way to the final bell at the forty-five mintue mark. Not the victory that either side hoped for, but certainly a thrilling battle. PEWA Ruler of the Road Title Bout Demarcus Browning(Rose Garden)(C) vs. Freya O'Malley(Phoenix Rising)  A show stealing battle with O'Malley taking the fight to Browning, and while it seemed at points as if the Giant Killer was on the verge of capturing gold, the Warbringer held on to hit the Browning Buster to net the three count. PEWA Extreme Championship #1 Contender Test Bout Moustapha Ndour with Renate Barlowe vs. Sylvain "Pay Day" Mint with Elise Pichon  Moustapha Ndour didn't just pass the test of Sylvain Mint, but absolutely aced it, proving his worth to face the Hindu Sheik as he ran Mint down and finished him with the Obliteration Machine pump handle side slam for the pin. The Bingo Hall Mutants(Rampage Rage and Skullface Killah) vs. Powers and Fury(Luke Powers and Jack Fury)  Powers and Fury were as dangerous as ever, with Luke Powers in particular dealing out tons of damage with his various signature Powers Bomb varitions. The Mutants, however, showed just why they are still the top team in the Office, with Rampage Rage pulling out the win with a Splash of Rage on Jack Fury. Landmine Barbed Wire Deathmatch GREAT Toba(Neutral Ground Pro Wrestling) vs. P-Dogg  A bloody back and forth sprint of a match between the original PEWA champion and one of the top rising stars on the scene, with GREAT Toba pulling out a narrow win with a low blow into a cradle. Entirely legal and entirely valid tactic that demonstrated Toba's resourcefullness. Jayne Payne vs. Da Outsider  A promising start for Da Outsider as he looked to push forward on an extended run in the PEWA, but Jayne Payne turned out the lights with her Payne Train axe bomber to wrap this one up early by knockout. Outsider's knees and back were considered the primary impediments to his continued career, but the Payne Train ended up being the real roadblock. Monochrome(Yamikuro and Opaque) vs. Wild Women(Mina Fitsharris and Juliette Erving)  A fairly uneven matchup with the Wild Women clearly a step above their opponents. Opaque seemed all to eager to tag out during this one, and seemingly for good reason as Juliette Erving pinned her after the Conclusion, her lifting snap neckbreaker. Melino Tupou Debut Match Melino Tuopu with Hobo Harry vs. Masked Maniac IV  Stupendous debut for the Tongan Deathmatch Princess who utterly wiped the mat with the fourth Masked Maniac in front of her mentor, Hobo Harry, giving her foe almost no offence before hitting a brutal inverted pendulum bomb for the three count. Melino Tuopu was already thought to be one of the best young prospects in the whole Office, and this match will absolutely raise her expectations sky high going forward. Shaka Zulu(Shaka Corbin(Rose Garden) and Zulu Lionheart) and Diamond Records(Running Diamond Cutter Man and Floyd Zeppelin) vs. Hounds of Abaddon(Big Clay Hurst and Garrison "Death" Rowe)(Wrestle Parade) and Tough Guys(The Equalizer and Anwar Omar)  Solid opener with a strong showing from Big Clay Hurst and Floyd Zeppelin in particular. In the end, though, it was Shaka Corbin who came out ahead, landing a South African Slam pendulum bomb on Hurst to earn the three count in this showcase tag match. --- Match of the Night: Browning vs. O'Malley -While the main event brought the drama and the violence, it also went to a draw and was by no means competitive. This Ruler of the Road challenge, on the other hand, had all the action that one could handle and was extremely closely fought. Performer of the Night: The Shrieking Sheik -The AAW legend lived up to his reputation, fending off four foes on his own as the sole survivor of his team in the main event. He may be Old Guard eligible, but the Sheik still looks very much capable of doing some damage against today's best opposition. --- Injury Report Da Outsider: Moderate Concussion (Three Month Medical Suspension) -Outsider's knockout loss by means of an axe bomber should keep him off the shows for the next three months at the very least. |

 TIPWF: New Times in Old Texas (5-6-2022) 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 6th at the Stockade in Amarillo, TX Main Event: TIPWF Old Guard Championship Bout Felix Santana Sr.(C) vs. Leander Grey(Phoenix Rising) TIPWF Lone Star Trios Championship #1 Contender Bout La Familia(Besos, Rey De La Carne and Chico Con Carne)(Wrestle Parade) vs. Amphibian Association(Kero Kero(Rose Garden, Ribbit(Wrestle Parade) and Notorious EFM) A Debut and a Return ??? vs. ??? Ricky Scott vs. Felix Santana Jr. Boss Ross Foreman and Marcos Angulo with Walt Callahan vs. Lil Lariato and Generalissimo Kool Q Laura Tate(Phoenix Rising) vs. Roland Chang Jr. with Roland Chang III and Roland Chang Sr. Zdzislawa Brzeczyszczykiewicz(Neutral Grounds) vs. Hija de holy Diver Luchador Sorpresa vs. Martina Martinez Team Hard Work(Rin Jokusato, Fuyuki Takenaka(Typhoon Pro) and The Everyman) vs. The Trio(The Mallard(MWWC), Rodeo Angel and El Froggy Mask) --- Daily Programming Notes: 5-6-2022 [TIPWF] [New Times in Old Texas] -Felix Santana Sr. remains a double champion going into his next title defense against former Old Guard champion, Phoenix Rising's Leander Grey. Santana is part of the Trios champions and has held the Old Guard title since beating Mega Meat. Grey looked to be in top form in his qualifying match for this match and is the slight favorite going in. -The Santana family will defend in the future against the winner of the co-main event. La Familia won an important victory over Hard Work on the previous broadcast, while the Amphibian Association look to take their first step towards the Trios belts with this match. -There are rumors of a major Mexican Lucha star showing up as one of the mystery competitors, but the returning wrestler's identity remains a full secret. -Felix Santana Jr. will make his first in-ring appearance in the Office since losing a Lucha de Apuestas match and his hair on the Rose Garden's recent supershow against El Hijo Del Dorado. Ricky Scott continues his momentum since dropping the Stanford Bradley connection here, and could be headed towards an Interim title shot with a win here. -With Boss Ross Foreman's humiliating loss to Rimi Kondo at the prior Golden Touch, the Supervisor of the Ring will team up with the current TIPWF Lone Star Interim champion, Marcos Angulo as they go up against the Cogburn Ranch's Lil' Lariato and Generalissimo Kool Q. These teams could be considered somewhat mismatched with Kool Q's primary managerial status, and this will theoretically be an uphill battle for Lariato. -Many sources connected with the TIPWF believe Cowboy Johnston is seriously considering retirement at this point in time, and the former Senatorial Office Number One Ranked star has been on an extended hiatus as he reportedly ponders his options. Johnston has been unable to rekindle his prior success in the ring in recent years and has seemingly taken a step back in the TIPWF since the birth of his son. -Laura Tate may have a major challenge on her hands as she goes up against Roland Chang Jr. The middle Roland was even more irate than usual after Tate won a match on last month's broadcast using a full nelson hold, the same move as Chang's Wrangler Lock. With his tendency to start violent feuds at the slightest of provocations, Chang will likely be extra motivated for this. --- Felix Santana Junior: Before I say anything here, I know, I know, I took far too long to speak to all of you! I assure you all that Dorado did not pull out my tongue, and that I am not afraid to be in public! I lost my hair, not my pride! And let me say one more thing here; I hear so many of the fans out there saying that Dorado cheated, that Dorado won cheaply, that Dorado should not have won like he did. I am sorry to say, my fans, my amigos, that you are all wrong. I despise El Hijo del Dorado. Truly, I do! But he beat me, and he beat me, fair and square, and as legit of a way that you can win. He was the winner, I was the loser...for a night. Felix: Dorado, do not think this is over! I just needed to take a few weeks to get a little stuff back on my head, I don't want to blind all my fans with that shiny baldness! Now I am back, and I will show you starting tonight that no matter what, a Santana always comes back to finish the fight! But my fight is not only with the Dorado family. My fight is also with Morgan Matthews and his big stupid giant. Yes, Colossus Rhodes, you have defeated me, destroyed me, humiliated me in the ring. But I will keep returning until I take back what my family founded, the Dominican Golden Championship! Felix: But yes, once again, before I can settle that business, I have to get past another person, and another person, and another person...the TIPWF is such a busy place anymore! It's not like the good old days in Santana Family Wrestling where I could clean out all my challengers in a year! So today, I have Ricky Scott, Stanford Bradley's son of the ring! Let me tell you something, Ricky, I respect that you are moving forward, taking that next step. But if you think you can just get your hands on all the gold...you have to get through me. And I'm not letting that happen easily! Felix: So if I beat Ricky tonight, then maybe I can get a shot at Marcos Angulo, and get that belt that Commissioner Callahan got him. Marcos, I know you're one tough hombre, I get that. You scare a lot of people. But you do not scare me. I don't care that you have real man strength from working on big heavy cars all your life. I don't care that you kicked the asses of some of the toughest, baddest dudes in the dark back alleys of Mexico! I don't care if you're buddies with the booker who can make things easier for you and tougher for your opponents! Ok, maybe I'm just a little wary of facing Marcos...but that is a bridge I will cross when I get to it, if I get to it! Felix: Tonight is the night to turn things around! I remember when I was just a young lion, bouncing around the world, I remember when EFM and I jobbed out on other promotions D-shows. I was seen for years as nothing more than my father's son, that I would never be as good as he was...and still is, my papi is a double champion right now this day in 2022, another reminder that I'm not too old to come back! But I always knew I had to work hard to earn my place in this world of wrestling, and I always knew I had to earn my fans the hard way, that my family name was not enough! I know how to scrape and scrap and climb my way up, and that is exactly what I am going to do again! I don't need long hair to win a match! Watch me, my fans, my amigos, and join me on more more beautiful trip back to remind everyone why I am El Primero, why Felix Santana Junior is a name to be respected! |

Solid card with some entertaining, quick moving tag matches and a number of matches that will set up future title challenges. RESULTS TIPWF: New Times in Old Texas (5-6-2022) 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 6th at the Stockade in Amarillo, TX Bonus Match Misterio Guerrero vs. Valentina Verda  A surprisingly strong showing for Guerrero who pushed the pace and survived flash pin attempts time and time again, but eventually was the second person of the night to succumb to a lip lock submission from an EWO member. Main Event: TIPWF Old Guard Championship Bout Felix Santana Sr.(C) vs. Leander Grey(Phoenix Rising)  Solid twenty minute match between two of the most storied veterans still active on the scene. Felix Santana Senior put up a credible effort in his attempt to defend the Old Guard belt, but Leander Grey was not to be denied, pulling out an impressive array of attacks down the stretch including his signature crossface and a brtual fire thunder driver to gain the three count and begin his second reign with the belt. TIPWF Lone Star Trios Championship #1 Contender Bout La Familia(Besos, Rey De La Carne and Chico Con Carne)(Wrestle Parade) vs. Amphibian Association(Kero Kero(Rose Garden, Ribbit(Wrestle Parade) and Notorious EFM)  An unsurprisingly competitive matchup, with La Familia coming out ahead as Besos caught Kero Kero with a seated armlock for the submission. La Familia will now be in line to challenge the Santana Family for the trios titles, and look fully equipped for the occasion. A Debut and a Return Florencia Espinoza with Salvador Sosa vs. Leslie B.  With Salvador Sosa appearing, it looks like the return was the Rudo Army Commander making his way back to the TIPWF as a manager, debuting a former pupil of his in the ring, Mexico's Lady in Red, Florencia Espinoza. Espinoza showed a spectacular set of skills against ENHANCE's Leslie B, eventually winning with her primary finisher taught to her by Sosa, a swanton off the top entitled the Estrella Fugaz, the Falling Star. An impressive first showing from the newest member of the Rudo Army, and Sosa's return was welcome as well, even in a non-wrestling capacity. Ricky Scott vs. Felix Santana Jr.  Zero surprise to anyone that a match between these two ended up being as entertaining and intense as it was. Felix Junior was as good as ever and Ricky Scott was motivated and active for the duration, but in the end, it would be Santana taking the win with a running DDT for the pinfall. Felix Santana Junior will now be looking to take on Marcos Angulo for the Interim title at the next TIPWF event, and it Boss Ross Foreman and Marcos Angulo with Walt Callahan vs. Lil Lariato and Generalissimo Kool Q  This match was all Marcos Angulo, with the TIPWF Interim Lone Star Heavyweight Champion carrying his team and finishing off Kool Q with an aggressive arm triangle choke. Laura Tate(Phoenix Rising) vs. Roland Chang Jr. with Roland Chang III and Roland Chang Sr.  A hard hitting match with Roland Jr. bringing his typical rocksteady classic style to bear against Laura Tate, looking to punish the AFW guest for finishing with a full nelson hold on the previous TIPWF event. Chang and Tate would progress into trading heavy attacks, but in the end, Laura Tate would land an enormous chokeslam to get the three count. Zdzislawa Brzeczyszczykiewicz(Neutral Grounds) vs. Hija de Holy Diver  The Polish Astronaut marked down another quality showing in the TIPWF with this solid win over Hija de Holy Diver, connecting with a beautiful high altitude moonsault for the three. Luchador Sorpresa vs. Martina Martinez  Sorpresa showed off some solid lucha libre offense, but Martina Martinez was able to take the match to the mat and prevail with a liplock from top guard. Team Hard Work(Rin Jokusato, Fuyuki Takenaka(Typhoon Pro) and The Everyman) vs. The Trio(The Mallard(MWWC), Rodeo Angel and El Froggy Mask)  Team Hard Work started off strong, but the Trio's experience as a group came through in the end with Rodeo Angel hitting a Rodeo Stretch Bomb on the Everyman for a big pinfall win, and the most significant one of her career at that. --- Match of the Night: Ricky Scott vs. Felix Santana Jr -A great high energy match between two of the steadiest workers in the TIPWF. Performer of the Night: Leander Grey -Little doubt here, as Grey managed to reclaim the Old Guard Championship with a win over the great Felix Senior. --- "Fast" Eddie Edison: This is Eddie Edison backstage here with Salvador Sosa after he made a surprise return to the ITPWF tonight. Salvador, I know you have something to say here, so let's hear it. Salvador Sosa: Damn straight I do. For months, doctors told me that I needed to rest and recover and stay as far away from a wrestling ring as I could. And at the same time, I wanted Esteban to have his chance to shine as the Rudo Army Commander. Now, he took his shot. But if I'm being honest, the Rudo Army's seen better days. Eddie: So you're back running the show for the Army? Does this mean you're thinking of wrestling again, too? And if so, when can we expect you back between the ropes? Sosa: Let me make it real clear. When Midas's big dumbass dropped me on my head again, that was it as far as my in-ring career went. Done, finished, kaput, finito. But I can't stay away, not from the game, and not from the Rudo Army. So yeah, I'm running this thing again. Because I want Esteban, Grizz, Macchiato, Megan, Gunny, Jones when he's healed, and now Florencia to be able to focus on doing what they do best. I'll call the shots, I'll give my support at ringside, and they'll get the job done. So that brings me to what I really wanted to talk about tonight. Eddie: The Lady in Red, right? Sosa: You're a genius, you know that, don't you? Eddie: Good to be recognized, now if only you could convince Doolittle... Sosa: My friend, you need a better sarcasm detector. But yes, Florencia Espinoza. I knew her for a bit, a number of years back, when I was climbing up the ranks, I heard someone in Mexico City was looking for some wrestling lessons, so I jumped on over. Turns out, daughter of a famous actor got fed up with her big shot dad and got cut off from the family, big deal for all the gossip sites and stuff. She wanted to do something that'd make her a star on her own. So she decided to go into wrestling, and guess who got her trained up? Eddie: I'm going out on a limb and guessing it's you... Sosa: So then, I jump on over to Santana Family Wrestling, and La Dama en Rojo makes her masked debut. Has a good run in the indys, conducts herself like a star, gets hired up by a big time promotion. La Dama en Rojo gets super popular, enough so that it makes the top star in the promotion jealous. We get a bet match, and La Dama loses her mask...and everyone loses it when they find out who she is. Florencia gets legit mainstream coverage, and she's maybe the biggest star in Mexico. And then her contract runs up. Eddie: So how'd you get her in the Office, I mean, there's no way they didn't offer her a big time deal down in Mexico. Sosa: Well, Eddie, you see, Florencia beccame a wrestler because she wanted to do her own thing, get out of her father's shadow, and the moment that mask came off, she went from being the Lady to being the actor's daughter again in the tabloids. So she had a choice, stick around, be the top star, make big money, but deal with all the baggage, or leave it behind, start right over again away from her family and that whole mess. And there's no better place to start a new chapter than in the Rudo Army. Moment I heard there was a chance, I called her up, told her I'd be there at ringside no matter what. And I think you saw tonight just what Florencia can do. Rudo Army's back on the march again, and we'll not stop until we take back over here in the TIPWF. Don't blink, or you'll miss it. |

Lightning Pro x Wacker Drive Revival: Iceberg vs. Burai vs. Phillips (5-13-2022) 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 13th at the Kyoto Central Gymnasium in Kyoto, Japan Main Event: Victorious Medal #1 Contender Bout Kojiro Burai(Phoenix Rising) vs. Iceberg vs. Steve Phillips Looping Back Double Dive(Lord Senton(Blue Thunder) and Mr. Moonsault) vs. The Goodfellas(Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod) Takayuki Ueda vs. Ayako Miyamoto ARENA(Arisa Hashimoto and Rena LeBlanc) vs. D-Train(Freight Train McMichaelson and D-Man Daunte Thomas) Rimi Kondo with Rumika Hashi vs. Kaori Nakajima with Hinari(Rose Garden) GORO(ZIP Japan) vs. "Buttered Toast Man" Rory Burton(Butterfloor) Super Grey Machine, Eiji "Jay" Sato, Big Robert Montgomery and Yuriko Masamune vs. NBNF(X-Treme Kid, Emerald Santiago, "Total MDK" Taylor Ngyuen and DUDE Smith) Jasper Rhys(Neutral Ground) vs. Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi Preliminary Main Event G.P. Christopher vs. "Showtime" Byron Worthy(Warrior Pro) vs. Phil Mercury --- Programming Notes for Lightning Pro: Iceberg vs. Burai vs. Phillips -The main event will lead to a future L-Pro Victorious Medal challenge against Kaede Kinoshita. Burai could become a multi-promotional champion if he can win here and defeat Kinoshita. -The Looping Back match between Double Dive and the Goodfellas will restore a shot at The Loop for the Royal Court if Moonsault and Senton can prevail. With the Syndicate keeping the trophy after a time limit draw against the Court last month, the faction did not entirely answer the question against their opponents, but a win here could do just that. -Ueda and Miyamoto are considered two of the home grown pillars of L-Pro's future along with the champion, Kinoshita and Koji Sawada and this match presents a chance to see the progress each has made as of late. Ayako Miyamoto destroyed the veteran Kengo Tamura on the last event, and Takayuki Ueda's promotion from the Dojo has not disappointed, so this could easily be a show stealer. =There are rumors that ARENA will challenge the Destructive Duo for the Victorious Tag Medals if they can beat the veteran duo of the D-Train. Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson on the other hand, seem more likely to be content as gatekeepers for the forseeable future. -Rimi Kondo's spectacular upset win over Boss Ross Foreman at Golden Touch was an incredible improvment over her middling debut on L-Pro, and she will look to solidify her potential by taking on the matriarch of the Nakajima family in Kaori Nakajima in a match that could either catapult Kondo into instant relevance on a crowded roster, or bring the Dojo rookie back into a more reasonable set of expectations. -A persistent set of rumors have swirled around GP Christopher, with many believing that the new PEWA President, Bodybreaker Brown is preparing to present the Ronin of Destiny with a massive contract offer to return to his original promotion. However, there are no signs from the previous long-reigning Medal holder that he has any desire to leave L-Pro at this point in time. |

The top of the card courted controversy, but the opener and the midcard brought some top notch competition on this L-Pro event. RESULTS Lightning Pro x Wacker Drive Revival: Iceberg vs. Burai vs. Phillips (5-13-2022) 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 13th at the Kyoto Central Gymnasium in Kyoto, Japan Bonus Match Nishimura Endo with ALEXANDER vs. Ibrahim Rahman  This was not Endo's night, as Rahman would apparently inflict an injury on the former Victorious Medal holder with a dragon screw before finishing him with the Nomadic Retribution neck snap for the pin. Main Event: Victorious Medal #1 Contender Bout Kojiro Burai(Phoenix Rising) vs. Iceberg vs. Steve Phillips  A heavily hyped bout that delivered on high level, hard hitting action with Kojiro Burai especially seeking out a submission win over Steve Phillips for the first stage of the match. As the action heated up, Iceberg would strike, landing an Icehammer fireman carry jackhammer on Burai with Phillips out of the ring, pinning the Phoenix Rising future ace. The match seemed to be a done deal as Berg hit Phillips with a subsequent jackhammer for a two count, only for the former Senator to counter another Icehammer attempt into a rollup, retaliating with a Victory Driver inverted brainbuster death valley bomb and the Victory Lock III crossface crossarm hold. Neither would keep Berg down, however, and Phillips would hold on long enough to take his foe off the top rope with a dragon screw right into the Victory Lock II rolling figure four deathlock to secure the win and a shot at the Victorious Medal. The fans, already irate with Burai's elimination surprisingly seemed somewhat sour on Phillips's win, the first time in his Office tenure to receive what appeared to be a scattering of outright boos. Looping Back Double Dive(Lord Senton(Blue Thunder) and Mr. Moonsault) with Yetunde Oya and Esther Musambi vs. The Goodfellas(Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod) with Mr. Cobra(SWA) and Lucretia DeCavalcante  Try as they did to regain a shot at The Loop, Double Dive ended up falling to the Goodfellas as Eddie the Wire hit Mr. Moonsault with a classic Mafia Kick. The Syndicate can now move on from the challenge of the Royal Court thanks to the timeless teamwork of the Made Men. Bonus Match Astrid Johansson vs. Georgia Eagles(Wrestle Parade)  A shootout between two hard hitters with Astrid Johansson putting up a spirited effort, but the power of Georgia Eagles was simply too much to overcome, and the Wrestle Parade star would land an overhead suplex off the top into her spear for the three count. Takayuki Ueda with Kosuke "Choppu" Arai vs. Ayako Miyamoto with Mr. Nobunaga  Great showdown with both L-Pro future pillars showing a high level of skill and spirit, and while Miyamoto's suplexes and throws threatened at multiple points, Ueda would pull off the win with his own Ueda Plex bridging scoop suplex. ARENA(Arisa Hashimoto and Rena LeBlanc) vs. D-Train(Freight Train McMichaelson and D-Man Daunte Thomas)  A great showing from the D-Man, who unleashed fury with some terrifyingly strong punches and merciless head drops, but ARENA were in phenomenal form, holding on against their veteran opponents as Rena LeBlanc pinned Thomas after a big pump side kick. Rimi Kondo with Rumika Hashi vs. Kaori Nakajima with Hinari(Rose Garden)  Rimi Kondo was gritty but clearly outclassed against the matriarch of the House of Nakajima, and Kaori would endure through Kondo's kicks to land a ferocious boot to the face to take the pin and the win. GORO(ZIP Japan) vs. "Buttered Toast Man" Rory Burton(Butterfloor)  A surprisingly credible fight from Rory Burton who showed no intimidation against his legendary foe, busting him open, throwing hard chops and taking the fight to the mat. Even so, GORO held on, putting the Buttered Toast Man away with his fireman carry side drop driver, Just Another Victim. Easily one of the best matches on the card in spite of its sub-fifteen minute duration. Super Grey Machine, Eiji "Jay" Sato, Big Robert Montgomery and Yuriko Masamune vs. NBNF(X-Treme Kid, Emerald Santiago, "Total MDK" Taylor Ngyuen and DUDE Smith)  NBNF were in fine form here, with the X-Treme Kid scoring the win for his side by pinning the Super Grey Machine after the Triple XXX-Treme Stunner. Jasper Rhys(Neutral Ground) vs. Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi  Great showing for Rhys, who kept pace with the Pan African Ambassador for twenty minutes, going hold for hold and surviving a variety of big moves, but Mehrmohammdi would eventually score the pinfall after his Air Nigeria high angle diving elbow drop. Preliminary Main Event G.P. Christopher vs. "Showtime" Byron Worthy(Warrior Pro) vs. Phil Mercury  Once again, the King of the Openers took part in an absolute classic in the Preliminary Main Event with a match that refused to take a moment's rest for half an hour. At one point, both Worthy and Christopher lined up in opposite corners, with Showtime landing a spear on Phil Mercury only for GPC to immediately shoot over and hit a Shining Wizard on the Warrior Pro star. Worthy would be the first man eliminated as Christopher locked on the Tribute to Nagata leglock, but Phil Mercury would step up afterwards, hitting his Sheer Heart Attack corkscrew moonsault to score the three count. For pure action, there may be few matches this year that will come close to this one. --- Match of the Night: GPC vs Worthy vs Mercury -The opener ended up stealing the show, on a night with a number of quality midcard matches and a solid main event, but few should be surprised by these three setting the example. Performer of the Night: Steve Phillips -A win over Kojiro Burai and Iceberg would be enough to give anyone this award, and in spite of the questionable entry into the match, Phillips well earned the award. --- Injury Report Nishimura Endo: Strained Quad (Three month medical suspension) -A dragon screw from Ibrahim Rahman hobbled Endo and it looks as if the veteran will miss more time, unfortunately, as he finds it tougher and tougher to continue his career between the ropes. --- Kevin Anderson: This is World Wrestling Daily Digest Editor in Chief, Kevin "The Internet" Anderson backstage here with Steve Phillips, directly after the former United States Senator from Illinois defeated two of the highest ranking stars on today's scene, Kojiro Burai and Iceberg. Steve, I'm sure you have quite a bit to say about this. Steve Phillips: Indeed I do, Mr. Anderson. There is a part of me that would prefer to unapologetically celebrate a victory that came against overwhelming odds, an accomplishment that may well go down as one of the greatest of my long career, demonstrating that in the twilight of the athletically competitive stage of my life that amazing things can yet be done. But this is not the time, nor the place to bask in such self-congratulatory plaudits. Anderson: The people really weren't very pleased with your win, were they? Phillips: Nay. They most certainly were not. There were supporters of Charles Berg who were cheering on the return of the Iceberg, thrilling at his overwhelming power and placing their hope on his renewed momentum. Kojiro Burai has been gaining fans at an exponential rate as of yet, and it is hard not to see why this is the case, as Mr. Burai has all the tools to be the foremost representative of our sport in a short time. These were the fresh, new faces on the scene, and yet, they each found themselves thwarted by the man who founded this very organization. On top of that, you may note that I only joined this match after I defeated Kosuke Arai to claim his contendership. I did not scrape and claw to the top this time around, I cashed in my chips, I played the game, and I used my political knowledge to take a direct path to the Victorious Medal. Noting all of these facts, yes, I can understand why the fans may not have been entirely fond of tonight's result. Anderson: Do you have any plans to win the people back, then? Phillips: Why should I? Answer me this, Mr. Anderson? Why should I push against the ever-shifting tide of public opinion? What have I to gain in doing so? If the people have chosen to favor my opponents, then that is their unrestricted perogative! I have spent the lion's share of my life chasing the approval of the people. Whether I sought their votes or their support as I stood between the ropes, I took every effort to ensure that I balanced my opinions and endeavors with their whims and desires. But now? Why should I potentially sacrifice my best chance at a long shot back to the top, why should I cater to the people at the cost of my own health, precariously balanced as it is in this sport? Can you give me an answer here, Mr. Anderson? Anderson: Um, sir, I think I'm the one asking the questions here. Phillips: Then ask away, Mr. Anderson, ask away. Do you have any more questions for tonight? Is there anything you believe my consitutents need to hear? Anderson: As a matter of fact, I do have one more question for you here, and that's concerning your upcoming opponent, the Stardust Angel, Kaede Kinoshita. What do you think about this upcoming title match? I do know that this will be scheduled to take place at Golden Touch in a few weeks. Phillips: While I have some research to do at this point, and I would absolutely not share the entirety of my tactics with the general public, I can state that Ms. Kinoshita is an exceptional competitor who has proven her worth at an age that few have realized such potential. Her abilities are as well-rounded as anyone in all of Lightning Pro, or even the Office as a whole. Make no doubt about it, I do not believe that this match will be easy by any means. But I do not do things because they are easy, I do them because they are hard. As you well understand, I would not set my sights on this Medal if I did not believe it attainable. And I certainly see that there will be an avenue to victory if I carry out my tactics sufficiently. As good as Kaede is on the mat, I believe I am better in that regard. She can strike, but I do not fear her in that regard. And in the clinch, in spite of her core strength, my skill may well win the day. She may have the overall athletic edge, and she may be able to run circles around me, but the experience edge is plainly, drastically in my favor. Phillips: Ms. Kinoshita has indeed proven herself, and she will stand in the hall of champions along with the myriad greats that have reached the heights of Lightning Pro's hallowed ring, but I daresay that she has yet to face someone such as myself. She may have defeated the Rookie Killer, she may have beaten the King of the Openers, but that is merely the preliminary to our main event, for she has yet to face off with the newsmaker, the headline breaker, the office taker, the worldshaker, the roughest toughest son of a gun ever to set foot into the squared circle, and in two weeks, Kaede Kinoshita will learn just what it is like to go one on one with the founder of this house, and that, my friend, is nothing....but the truth. |

UCSS: The Two Step Challenge Returns - 5-20-2022 Main Event: Step 2 - UCSS Openweight Title #1 Contender Royale Winner of Team 1 vs. Team 2 vs. Winner of Team 3 vs. Team 4 UCSS Tag Team Championship Bout Thiago Gracie BJJ(Thiago Gracie and Jamie Tomasi)(C) vs. Red Alert(Leona Sterling(Phoenix Rising) and Aoife Daley) Walid Alizadeh vs. Frog Buster Giulia Sanfilippo(Neutral Ground) vs. Oleg Makos Two Step Challenge: Step 1 - Eight Person Tag Block B Team 3: The Veterans(Gang Wong, "Big Banter" Rory Banner, Andronicus Turner and "The Warning" Soji Kanda) vs. Team 4: Queens of the Kick(Aline Richelieu, Seong Jung Hwan, Onika Santos and Lanna Ndi) Two Step Challenge: Step 1 - Eight Person Tag Block A Team 1: The Guests(Sebastian Churchill(Rose Garden), Lexie Barrett(Butterfloor), Virginia Caldwell(Phoenix Rising) and the winner of the Beat the Clock Challenge) vs. Team 2: The Upstarts(Ruthless Nicole Alger, Gentleman Jem Gladstone, Zin Win Aye and ???) Two Step Qualifying Match: Beat the Clock Challenge Keith Van Horne(Wrestle Parade) vs. String Bean Two Step Qualifying Match: Beat the Clock Challenge Lamont Aldren(Wrestle Parade) vs. Jeff --- Programming Notes -The Two Step Challenge will actually consist of five matches, two Beat the Clock qualifiers for the members of the American Apex tag team as they indirectly compete with each other for a spot in the team stage, and then two eight person showcase tags with the winning teams each facing off in the main event royale. -The winner of the main event will go on to challenge Hakim Fields at Golden Touch in a week. -Cameroonian Kyokushin Karate expert Lanna Ndi will make her debut on Team 4 in the Two Step Challenge, expect a hard nosed, relentless hard kicking style from Ndi, who overcame personal tragedy to develop herself into an elite martial artist before becoming a member of the UCSS roster thanks to Pan African Ambassador, Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi and Dangerous Nicholas Alger. -Thiago Gracie BJJ have been superb tag champions in a somewhat shallow division, and will be facing a rematch against Red Alert, who had trouble the last time due to Aoife Daley suffering an early armbar related injury. If both redheads can avoid an early fluke injury, this could be an extremely competitive bout, however. -Andronicus Turner and Rory Banner on the same team may well be a formulation for disaster, but if the two extremely former teammates can prevail in the team stage, there could be some major fireworks in the royale. -Walid Alizadeh has seemed in good spirits since leaving the Golden Touch VIP Club, and will take on one of the only men in UCSS larger than himself in the SWA's Frog Buster. Can the Persian Powerhouse take advantage of his renewed spirit or will Buster score the win of his career upon his return to the ring? -Rumors have it that the mystery entry in the Two Step Challenge hails from another Office promotion, was entered at the request of one of the other promoters and reportedly is as far from a usual UCSS style entry as it gets. -Nobody is cheering for Oleg Makos in Giulia Sanfilippo's Office debut. |

With the return of the Two Step Challenge came a new challenger and some superb shoot style action along the way. RESULTS UCSS: The Two Step Challenge Returns - 5-20-2022 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 20th at the Doors of Perception in Los Angeles, CA Bonus Match Lanna Ndi vs. Frank Van Sloan ![]() steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1807644254427088241/A648047FC1EE9D9C0C4D8786F0E725FFB4520C20/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false![]() A rookie on her first night in UCSS, Lanna Ndi had a rough go against the veteran, Van Sloan, but her fighting spirit impressed all as she got up from an endless string of knockdowns from the Belgian Uberkicker, refusing to stay down for ten, and it was only a counter on the mat into a kimura that would secure the ref stoppage for FVS's fourth round victory. Main Event: Step 2 - UCSS Openweight Title #1 Contender Royale Team 2: The Upstarts(Ruthless Nicole Alger, Gentleman Jem Gladstone, Zin Win Aye and Backyard Pyro) vs. Team 3: The Veterans(Gang Wong, "Big Banter" Rory Banner, Andronicus Turner and "The Warning" Soji Kanda)  This was largely a two person match, with Andronicus Turner and Ruthless Nicole Alger going back and forth to see who could do the most damage and eliminate the most foes. Turner's punches certainly took a toll, but RNA would score the superior number of eliminations, taking Rory Banner, Zin Win Aye and, yes, Turner himself to secure her shot at the UCSS Openweight title and Hakim Fields. UCSS Tag Team Championship Bout Thiago Gracie BJJ(Thiago Gracie and Jamie Tomasi)(C) vs. Red Alert(Leona Sterling(Phoenix Rising) and Aoife Daley)  Leona Sterling really can't catch a break in a title match, can she? Once again, the Scottish shooter ended up on the wrong side of a decision, with Jamie Tomasi submitting her with (what else) a jujigatame armbar. Red Alert just didn't seem to get into the next gear here, unfortunately. Walid Alizadeh vs. Frog Buster  Every bit the absolute slugfest that this could possibly have been, with both men keeping up an absurd pace, trying to slam each other through the mat, but it would be Frog Buster who would be the last man standing, finishing Alizadeh with a ferocious rear waistlock throw in the third round for the ten count win. Giulia Sanfilippo(Neutral Ground) vs. Oleg Makos  A surprisingly excellent match between the Italian sensation and everyone's (least) favorite spammer, with Sanfilippo fighting off a determined Oleg Makos en route to a third round submission win thanks to a katahajime. Two Step Challenge: Step 1 - Eight Person Tag Block B Team 3: The Veterans(Gang Wong, "Big Banter" Rory Banner, Andronicus Turner and "The Warning" Soji Kanda) vs. Team 4: Queens of the Kick(Aline Richelieu, Seong Jung Hwan, Onika Santos and Lanna Ndi)  The vets seemed to have the edge here, with Gang Wong leading his quartet to victory, pinning Seong Jung Hwan after a backflip kick. Two Step Challenge: Step 1 - Eight Person Tag Block A Team 1: The Guests(Sebastian Churchill(Rose Garden), Lexie Barrett(Butterfloor), Virginia Caldwell(Phoenix Rising) and Keith Van Horne(Wrestle Parade)) vs. Team 2: The Upstarts(Ruthless Nicole Alger, Gentleman Jem Gladstone, Zin Win Aye and Backyard Pyro)  With Keith Van Horne completing Team 1, none other than Backyard Pyro showed up, thanks to the PEWA to finish Team 2, and after a back and forth struggle, it would be Pyro who would claim the win, after belching fire onto Lexie Barrett and covering for the pin. Two Step Qualifying Match: Beat the Clock Challenge Keith Van Horne(Wrestle Parade) vs. String Bean  It only took 12:51 for Van Horne to finish String Bean with one of his patented "diagonal power" bridging german suplexes to score the pinfall win and earn his spot in the Two Step Challenge. Two Step Qualifying Match: Beat the Clock Challenge Lamont Aldren(Wrestle Parade) vs. Jeff  Aldren went a bit long in this otherwise dominant showing against Jeff, finishing his opponent in 17:56 with a rear naked choke. --- Match of the Night: Sanfilippo vs. Makos, Alizadeh vs. Buster -Both midcard singles bouts overachieved beyond expectations and both deserved honors here. Performer of the Night: Ruthless Nicole Alger -Easy choice, considering her dominant win in the main event. --- Injury Report Gang Wong - Moderate Concussion (Two month medical suspension) -A flashy combo from Andronicus Turner put the Shaolin Superstar down for the count in the main event, but he should be back sooner than not. Gentleman Jem Gladstone - Mild Concussion (One month medical suspension) -It seems that Gladstone was only stunned from his knockdown in the main event, but will still sit out a month for mandatory precautions. |
