A response to Kojiro Burai: "Nobody wanted to explain why I left 'cause it's obvious, isn't it? I'm a busy guy, and I got other commitments that I can't just back out of. Call me whatever you want, but more than anything, I'm loyal to the people who helped me make my way up. When my bosses in Japan come calling, I answer. I'm free to come back to America now, so I might as well come in and remind everyone of who I am.
You say things have changed around here in the last year? I dunno, some of the names are different but it looks like the same company it was when I had to leave. You were still out there acting like you're the next big thing then, and you're talking just as big now as you were then. But hey, great job on holding your belt for so long! Just... don't let that taste of gold get to your head, 'Junior Ace.' If you were really hot shit like you think you are, then maybe that strap would still be around your waist, wouldn't it? Seems to me that it's more like your luck ran out, and people figured out your winning formula.
You and me never crossed paths - you were an indie kid, and I was too big for that scene - but to me, you're sounding like a cocky little young boy who thinks he's paid his dues after scrubbing the dojo floors and taking bamboo canes to the back for long enough. You wanna stake your claim as a world title contender? Great, then I'll just show you that you're just a lucky kid who went on a hot streak, and then you can learn what it means to sweat and bleed for what you want by clawing your way back up from rock bottom."

A wild, wild night all around. Twitch: www.twitch.tv/videos/1665546210Youtube: youtu.be/hG5IJKAyKikQuick Results Haruka Matsura def. Priya Mallaya The E.T.C. def. Vindication Robin Nox def. Victoria Frey Angel Leblanc def. Shiana Sentarl The Malevolent Triad def. Kaelara Sentarl and Silver Hawk Kojiro Burai def. Jerome Harris Kanjirin Tonorian def. The Black Dragon Telan Kintelas def. Mallory Spaulding to retain the Pacific Northwest Championship The Midwest Initiative def. The E.T.C. to retain the Trios Championships Telan Kintelas"Nobody thinks this is a joke anymore, huh? Nobody wants to look at me like the fucking reject, the black sheep, the OUTCAST. See, there's a little something that the higher-ups are looking at, starting with my reign. A new dawn for the Pacific Northwest Championship. And I'm already well on my way to it. People don't have to go on runs like Kojiro did, anymore... if they want to, sure. But there's a nice little tidbit coming through.
Five defenses. That's all. Five straight defenses of the Pacific Northwest Championship, and boom... you get a shot at the Big One. The World Championship. The crown jewel, the ultimate prize that everyone's got their eye on.
And I'm already at three.
Next in line is the precious little Sentarl kid. The youngest of the bunch. Kaelara, kid, I've known you a long time through your dad, and I'm gonna make it real clear to you right now: you're not taking this from me. You don't have a chance. I want you to try, sure. But when the dust settles, you're gonna be defense number four, and I'm gonna be knocking on the FUCKING door.
And then, when I nail down number five, I'll be watching. Waiting. Veronika Armstrong, you got your crack at New Year's Bash, and if you win that title from Mascara Avispa, then you'll get ME to look forward to. If Avispa retains, then guess what, kid, knock knock.
Some people are gonna tell me I'm thinking too far ahead. Yeah, maybe, sure. But I'm going to fucking do it. I'm going to beat the next two in line. I'm going to challenge for the World Fucking Championship.
AND NOBODY, NOBODY, WILL EVER LOOK DOWN ON TELAN KINTELAS, EVER AGAIN."

Proving Ground comes in with some interesting plans: title matches through to the end of the year, for one, starting with tomorrow night's Inspire Championship main event, a tag team championship match at episode 108, and concluding with the hotly-anticipated HAYATO/Riccardo matchup at New Year's Bash for the Top Prospect Championship. Proving Ground Episode 107 Aria Kintelas vs. Mercedes Ortega
The Gallego Twins vs. The Yoshida Twins
Ziggy Rockefeller vs. Axel Halldorson
Leona Sterling vs. SATOMI
The Excellent Blades vs. Virginia Caldwell and Fiona Walsh
Riccardo De Luca vs. Mystery Opponent
HAYATO vs. Mystery Opponent
The Bryant Sisters vs. La Familia, #1 Contender's Match for the Proving Ground Tag Team Championships
Calista Vargas vs. Rin Ryusaki for the Inspire Championship Speaking of HAYATO and Riccardo, both have been asked to hand-pick an opponent for the other to face on this show... and both have come up with, no doubt, some blockbuster matchups. Expect both champion and challenger to be pushed to their limits, if they can even stand up to the opponent their rival has chosen for them... The Bryant Sisters are on the hot streak of their lives, but can they really keep it up in the face of one of Proving Ground's top teams? La Familia have been at the top before, and no doubt they want it back... a shot at Speed Dating in two weeks is a big deal, and both teams want their chance at the titles. Closing out the show, Calista Vargas is on a hot streak herself, and could be on the verge of a breakout here. The Inspire Championship has been hot-shotting around a fair bit, and Calista seems determined to make sure another champion goes down early in their reign... the Brazilian has her sights set on being the best of the best.

What's coming up tomorrow? Simple: a wild Showdown card. Phoenix Rising Showdown Episode 107 Priya Mallaya vs. Silver Hawk
Victoria Frey vs. Sayuri Date
Jerome Harris vs. Kanjirin Tonorian
Michelle Rochefort vs. Damian Shepherd
Kojiro Burai vs. Layla Al-Amin
Revon Beauregard vs. Hugo Dirksen
Elise Pichon vs. ???
The Malevolent Triad vs. Eri Sentarl and Chichi (and a third?)
Kaelara Sentarl vs. Telan Kintelas for the Pacific Northwest Championship The Triad seeks their rematch for the tag titles and will do whatever it takes to get it at New Year's Bash. Vindication again sets their sights on Victoria Frey, almost certainly preparing for a long-awaited rematch between Frey and Shiana Sentarl at the big show. Jerome Harris gets a match that, in all honesty, probably should have happened last year, but somehow never came to pass... all this, and more. Not to mention the European Technician's Consortium challenging Les Beautes Blondes in three separate singles matches... but who's taking Sophia Moretti's place after the Italian was taken out of action last episode? Kojiro Burai continues to set his sights on anyone and everyone that's been near the World Championship over the past year or so, and the Cairo Cyclone seems to be next on the list... And Telan Kintelas goes for defense number four of the Pacific Northwest Championship against Kaelara Sentarl. A win here would set the stage for a tremendous opportunity... five defenses, and Telan will trade the title for a shot at the big prize, the World Championship...

UPDATE
Desktop fucking died. Power supply probably crapped out.
end of the year shows are on hold until that's resolved, whether it's "new computer" or "salvage the old one somehow".
sad thing is the laptop would be a fine backup but it somehow manages to run Fire Pro like complete garbage so it is not an option
will update when the problem is resolved
(we may or may not still run Showdown, just not me being the one "running" it, again, will update when plans are set)

Good NewsRan a "house show" today, as a test stream. Six matches, one for each of the feds/shows I run. Verdict: Streaming on this laptop is doable, if not exactly a long-term solution. That said, it's workable enough that I should be able to run New Year's Bash properly here very soon, once I've gotten everything prepared for it. Show link: www.twitch.tv/videos/1698849336Won't put this one on Youtube, doesn't seem necessary. But there were a couple of very legitimate bangers on this one. Match card was as follows: Priya Mallaya vs. La Relampaga Aria Kintelas vs. Nicole Blade Mercy Devine and Trinity Knight vs. The Cuddley Sistaz Robin Nox vs. Andrea Hawke Todd Colton vs. Xiu Mei Li Angie Starr and Teighler Tisdale vs. Honey Popsicle I'll let everyone know soon when I decide to fire up the big show and finally close out 2022. Like, two weeks late. Oh well.

Further news: this is gonna take some doing because this thing does not like to let me do edit work. Or even entrance work. Lot of odd crashes that I wouldn't have experienced on the desktop. Thursday was my hope, but Saturday seems more likely, and it's even possible I wait until next Monday to do this. Hopefully I'll get a new desktop ordered here soon and we'll be up and running again.
