Phoenix Rising: Grand Ascension VI Finals Night Results

Felice Santana: This is the sort of match that I love to wrestle in! Two super special wrestlers on the other side of the ring, somebody I like and trust in my corner, it's great! And we all like to go double speed fast! Nobody's slow in this match! Rin and Fresh are both really good, and they showed us why in the big tag team tournament! They almost won it! But I think that Vivian and I can give you a challenge here, and we might even win this ourselves! So I can't wait to get going and start flipping!

Ruthless Nicole Alger: Yeah, time for us to get serious. Because if we're not serious, we're getting eviscerated. Thrown around. Stomped on. Slammed. And between me and Candace, we aren't much a fan of those things when they happen to us. I know we're the underdogs, everyone knows it. But if we've proven anything here on Proving Ground, we've proven that we're proven tough. We may lose, but we get back up. We lost last time out there, but do you see us crying? We may be looked past, but we'll make sure you regret it. And we've shown some people just how dangerous it is to do that! So, Team Gold, come get some!

Gary Gear: We're stepping up now! We're facing some big shots here!

Adonis Avery Alexander: Of course, they give me the bigger name, because I am more than worthy of facing the superior opponent.

Gear: Yeah, so? Kellaron ain't no joke! He's like a dumbbell incline press, it's not the lift everyone cares the most about, but that doesn't mean that it's any easier!

AAA: Whatever. That didn't even make any sense. Blake Dynamite's a real big deal. He is heralded by the fans and the critics. Management thinks he is one of their top stars. And I have a chance to show that no matter how good he is, and he is very good, but the All Natural Adonis is just a step above.

Gear: Har, har! Since when?

AAA: I was born superior.

Gear: A superior jackass!

AAA: Shut your mouth, you de-evolved neanderthal. I am higher on the card. I face the better foe. And I will reap the benefits.

Gear: Sorry, but I don't fear the reaper! But Kellaron might just learn what it feels like to Fear Gary Gear!

AAA: Yeah, sure...

Ruthless Nicole Alger: Guess...guess I wanted that too much. Dad told me there were times like this. Times where you try so hard that it backfires. This was one of them. And the worst part, Candace had to pay a price for it too. Damnit. But if those Golden Jerks think this is the last they saw of the Limbtakers, they're as stupid as they look!

Gary Gear: We need to do something different.

Adonis Avery Alexander: Speak for yourself, roidhead. I put on a top notch match with a top notch opponent. I pushed Blake Dynamite past his limits. If that means that I did not emerge victorious, it was no less glorious.

Gear: Aw, shuddup, you lost, I lost. Nobody cares about the rest.

AAA: Actually, they certainly do. You looked like a nincompoop who didn't belong in the organization. Kellaron Sentarl just gained a bit of momentum for his career jumping off your oversized, non functional shoulders. And considering how bad he has been, you did him a massive favor.

Gear: Yeah, yeah, pile on. But you sure seem happy for someone who lost his match.

AAA: Maybe you could stick around here...as my manager. It's the only way you'll sniff the main event.

Gear: All I sniff from you is your bullshit!

AAA: Look at who's getting all worked up!

Gear: Screw you! I'll break you in two, skinny man!

AAA: Whatever, you couldn't break a pencil in half right now.

Gary Gear, at a boiling point, lunges after his tag team partner, who deftly avoids the uncoordinated attack.

AAA: Hold up! Seriously. Hold up. Look, we keep losing our matches, and I don't like it either. We're not just plateauing, we're losing ground now. And I got the solution. You know, the Senatorial Office just signed a deal under the table with a group in Japan. Lightning Pro. They need, as they call it, gaijin. We're going to be gaijin now. And we're going to train over there and maybe you could learn how not to lose!

Gear: Seriously? You signed me up to go to Japan? You didn't even ask! We got a contract here!

AAA: Frequent flier miles...we'll be earning them...

A solid match for Emma, who looked good in defeat. She gave Nobel a few scares with her quick flash pins, but ultimately didn't have quite enough kick to put this one away properly.


A good showing by both sides here, but Cassie once again found herself coming up short... though not through fault of her own, as Rachel went wild down the home stretch with sharp kicks, capped off by a crushing Kamigoye that left the Texan cowgirl down and out.


As bold as Anahera has been lately, boldness isn't everything: and Dragon showed her that much tonight. The two brawled hard in this one, Anahera refusing to give in for some time, but ultimately Dragon would force the Maori to admit defeat with her vicious submission.


This was the last image we saw in this matchup. Besos seemed primed to pick up a big win over the beloved superstar, and cap off the opening match of the main card with a crowd-pleasing moment. And then... the lights went out. Staying off for some time, the crowd heard two loud "THWACK" noises... as if someone had been struck with a chair. And finally, the lights came back on... Besos laid outside the ring by the ramp, out cold, the referee, Millicent Shine, laid near her, and Eri was alone in the ring with the mysterious luchadora, Fenix Oscuro. The images that had appeared after Eri's last two matches had been a warning... a warning for this moment.


Already exhausted from what was a grueling match with Besos, Eri was no match for Oscuro. The masked invader capped off her assault with a brutal Shining Wizard, and only then was anyone able to restore order, Oscuro slipping out of the ring as security rushed to the aid of the fallen referee, the unconscious Besos, and an unmoving Eri. Oscuro has made her statement... what does it mean for the rest of Phoenix Rising?


A triumphant return to the ring for the veteran, the giant, a legend in Phoenix Rising: Binak Tonorian took one of the toughest men on the roster and laid him low. It seems that Binak is here to stay once again, and the rest of Phoenix Rising had better take notice.


Far more of a struggle than perhaps either team was expecting, this one was full of brilliant teamwork by both sides... but where Firehawk and Ril looked like a well-oiled machine, the Syndicate had more than a few miscommunications that hurt their chances. Ril would ultimately catch Haruka in the middle of the ring, Sophia hesitating to step in... and by the time she did, Firehawk stepped in to cut her off, and gave the veterans another major victory, and the Syndicate yet another loss.


A hard fight by Kaelara against the veteran here, but youth didn't seem to be quite enough tonight, as Winifred simply overpowered her at every turn. A hard lariat seemed to knock Kae's lights out and sent Winifred into the 8-woman battle royal to decide a #1 contender.


Perhaps one of the big shockers of the night: Angel Leblanc takes down the first Women's Champion in near-dominant fashion. The Frenchwoman had Lae's number tonight, never letting her get off the ground, and soars into the battle royal alongside Mercy, Winifred and Allison.


Urani Whitemist was in no mood tonight. Perhaps Victor badmouthed his sister before the match, perhaps he said something about the recent controversy surrounding the World Champion, but whatever the case, the two rolling lariats followed by a CRUSHING Whitemist Bomb silenced the brash young man and gave Urani another major victory.


Unusually for the Thief, this match turned into a brawl up and down the ring, and Telan seemed determined to keep him down. But just like so many times before, the Phantom Thief bounced back in a roaring comeback that culminated in a big-time Fire Star Splash, and once again, steals the match and the shot at Urani's title... can he perform better against the powerhouse this time?


From the bell, Shiana looked like she was in trouble. Managing to score a few good strikes, Alex slowly began to take control, wrenching the champion back in her familiar cross-arm camel clutch more than once, landing a pair of Stunners that seemed destined to put Shiana down... but it was the piledriver that spelled the end, laying Shiana out for the finish and giving Alex the chance she wanted: skipping the battle royal and getting a shot at the champion directly. Could Alex be the one that dethrones the Queen?

It's unclear where Oscuro is now. There's only a faint light, not enough to see her face... though her mask sits on a nearby table, perhaps clarifying the reason she's sitting in the dark. <My name is Fenix Oscuro. It is the only name you will know. And as you now have found out... I consider Eri Sentarl my greatest enemy. But you don't understand why... because you don't know her like I do.> She takes a long, deep breath... and when she speaks again, it's in English, rather than Spanish.

"Eri should hear this for herself... and as I know your Spanish is worse than a child's, I will humor you.

Why do I hate you, Eri Sentarl? Why do I choose to come after you, of all people? Because the Eri Sentarl I know is not the same woman these people have come to love. The Eri I met... is a much, much different sort. You came to Mexico, a few years ago, to continue your training. And I knew... the moment I laid eyes on you, that you were going to cause problems. Not only for me. For everyone. For all the students... you came in with an attitude from day one. An attitude that told me you thought you were better than everyone around you. You tried to sabotage every other student at least once... but no one, NO ONE more than me.

You were arrogant. You ensured that I got no opportunities of my own. You tried to end my career because you were jealous of what I could become. And now it's come back to haunt you. I'm here to make sure you never have a moment's peace for what you did to me. For what you tried to do. I will put an end to all of this and force you to face your past. This image you've crafted for yourself... I'll shatter it in front of all of your adoring fans. And then... I will rise to the heights you tried to keep from me.

From this day forward, Eri, you will never know peace. I will crush you. I will hurt you, I will make you plead, cry, beg for mercy... and even then, I will DENY it, because you deserve none. I know the real Eri Sentarl. I know who you are. I know what you've done. And nothing can change that... nothing you do will ever forgive it.



I am Fenix Oscuro. And your life as you know it is over."

Allison Avery def. Mercy Devine
Todd Colton def. Blake Dynamite

Layla looked better here than she did at the 49th, but she couldn't seal the deal against Anna here, the Cairo Cyclone falling to a Styles Clash that gave Anna a much-needed victory.


It was Elbow City from Argent tonight as he sported a new look, donning the Proving Ground blue much like Blake Dynamite before him, and absolutely crushed Telan with so many elbows you'd think Misawa was in the ring.


An absolutely stunning result from one of Proving Ground's fastest-rising stars... but how long is he going to stay on Proving Ground after this win? He beat the #1 contender for the World Championship... and management has seen fit to add him to next week's World Championship match, making it a 3-way between Urani Whitemist, Silver Hawk, and the Phantom Thief!

Listalva was on a mission tonight. Disgraced when she lost the Inspire Championship to Natasha, and sinking even lower in a losing effort against Juliette Erving, Listalva made her return in a big way and absolutely stuffed Cassie Rose, making her presence felt... could Queen Anne be setting herself up for a run at the top, looking past Proving Ground entirely?


A match that most thought Anari had in the bag turned into a disappointing night for the younger Heyward sister. Rachel simply had her scouted, it seemed, and introducing a chair into the ring only hurt the big girl's chances in the end... while Anari still has a shot at Natasha's Inspire Championship, she has to be disappointed that she won't be joining her sister in the battle royal.


Mallory Spaulding cannot catch a break when it comes to the Muscle Machines. Desperately trying to keep them down, she tried everything in her arsenal, as did Kanjirin... but Gary Gear, barely able to keep himself upright from lack of air, would send this match to a crushing conclusion by planting the young powerhouse with a huge Iron Claw Slam... and the Muscle Machines earn a shot at the tag team champions.


A hard-hitting matchup that saw both wrestlers trying to wrench the other's arm off. But Elly clearly seemed the more practiced of the two... and she reminded everyone that she is still Invincible, forcing Kellaron to submit and ending a disappointing night for his crew.


Rin Ryusaki strikes again. Proving she doesn't need Rachel's backup, the Winter Kunoichi stepped up big against the Inspire Champion, and reminded her once again that despite Rachel's interference those months ago, it was Rin's kick that did her in. This time, however, all it took was a Shooting Star Press, and Rin earned herself a shot at Natasha alongside Anari... will Natasha's reign as Inspire Champion be cut short in a 3-way?


The Limbtakers are back in the driver's seat. Felice and Vivian did what they could to slow the young team down, but Candace seemed bound and determined to finally pick up another win... and win she did, nearly taking Felice's head off with a Stunner, then putting the young woman away with a Gotch-style piledriver. Could this be the turning point, finally?


Pure, overwhelming dominance. Allison Avery might've cemented herself as a favorite not only in the upcoming battle royal, but in her 49th Parallel appearance on Wednesday. She absolutely crushed Mercy Devine with her hard-hitting lariats... will Mayday Malone suffer the same fate in the first round?


Are you kidding me? All three champions fall tonight, Blake looking nowhere near the man he's been in recent weeks, handed his first convincing loss in a VERY long time, and it came at the hands of a WILDLY motivated Todd Colton. A changing of the guard could be coming in two weeks... with all three championships planned to be on the line, will ANYONE escape with their titles still around their waists?

"How long is it going to take for people to figure it out? How many wins do I have to pile up, how many arms do I have to ruin, how many people do I have to leave down and out before you realize what I'm saying to you? Blake Dynamite has been on thin ice for a damn long while, now... he's been sitting on a powder keg, and I'm the match that's gonna blow his whole damn Top Prospect reign straight to hell. Two weeks, Blake... you got two weeks to figure your shit out before I come to take it from you, and stand at the top of Proving Ground like I was ALWAYS meant to."

"That's more like it! Everything clicked tonight, everything felt right. I haven't felt that comfortable in the ring in a while, I'm gonna be honest... maybe stepping up against Katie Coons on Wednesday was the warmup I needed. Maybe I should keep having matches ahead of Proving Ground, huh? Seemed to help us out a bit. No hard feelings, Felice... but I know how tough you are, and I know I had to do something to keep you down, especially after you kicked outta that Stunner. You ever want to avenge it, I'd be happy to take you one-on-one sometime."

"ARROGANT PIECE OF SHIT!" The cameras are, perhaps wisely, keeping their distance from a downright LIVID Mallory, who already seems to have put a dent in one of the nearby lockers. She's got an ice pack wrapped around her neck and another on her back, and she's clearly shaking in rage, a fist slamming into another locker. "Muscle Machines... this isn't fucking over. 'Adonis', I'm gonna knock that smirk off your face sooner or later... and Gear, don't think you get off easy! I nearly broke your goddamn neck, if you even still have one, and next time I won't hesitate to finish the damn job! Both of you are gonna regret EVER meeting me!" Mallory gives another roar of frustration... another hard SLAM into a locker, before she sinks down onto a bench, panting heavily, her face a grimace of pain.
