The 49th Parallel Tournament CONCLUDED

If we'd gotten this Nikki last Sunday, she might still be kicking in the tournament. Clearly, she wanted to prove that her performance against Selene Ciel was a fluke... and you may have to believe it, after this.


This is probably about as good as Kellaron could've hoped for. Going up against a legend, he looked solid in defeat, and this may represent a new beginning for the young man.


The constant counter to Bardo's mounts clearly took its toll on the suit-clad professional, and Ribbit's blistering-fast pace likely didn't help him much, either. Ribbit hops away with a major upset and a ticket to the third round.


Rex tried to repeat what he did last time against West Side Kid... but it seemed that referee Hana Brightly saw right through his game this time, or perhaps Georgia was far from fooled by the plot. Either way, Georgia Eagles was dominant here, and moves on to face the legend that is Geese.


A potential candidate for match of the night. A fast-paced match that showed a sharp contrast in styles: Dawn's quick strikes and submission work against Cecilia's high-flying, almost unpredictable offense. The same sequence that Cecilia won with in the first round, however, reared its head in this one as well, and Dawn was forced to Reach For The Stars... sending the Florida astronaut on to round three.


This tournament's had a way of making Blake Dynamite look vulnerable. Getting cut open by Samhain early, Blake never seemed to get another foothold after that, and the Puerto Rico representative would come away with a BIG win.


Texas International is showing its pride here, without a doubt. Morris continues to impress in the early rounds, and he seemed to tear through Camacho, setting him on a path towards the finals... but can he get through the whole way?


The AAW star, the man who scored the only CRITICAL thus far in the tournament, did everything he could to make sure Alan Wright stayed down. Wright, however, clearly didn't get the message... he kept standing back up, and would ultimately finish the job dead-center in the ring, scoring what felt like a major upset over Yoshi Tayaki.


Hypnosia continues to look frighteningly powerful in the tournament. Somehow managing to kick out of a Black Gold from Wyatt, she'd immediately fire back by jumping to the top rope and landing a huge Sky Twister, scoring what many may see as yet another upset victory.


Talk about a war. Neither man seemed willing to quit here, throwing nearly everything they had at each other... but a late diving lariat from Danger finally, finally brought this one to an end. Can Danger match his ZIP tag partner by winning the tournament?

Well, that was chaos and a half. These two Canadians threw everything they had at each other, but it was Grizzly that eventually pulled off the big win. A hot opener to what would be a wild card.


I don't know how Kalb keeps doing it, but here we are... an Adam Smith Driver carrying the DC native to another upset victory and a trip to the third round!


It was desperation, perhaps, that fueled Val Morgan at the end of this match... throwing nearly everything he had at George until a modified Sharpshooter finally scored a victory. Val got lucky here... but he may not feel so lucky come next Wednesday.


Dwight looked solid again here, but solid wasn't quite enough to put Kira away this time. This was a more... "normal" Kira, no wild fits of anger or psychotic breaks, so perhaps the Mississippi girl has steadied herself again.


This... dragged, a little bit. I'll admit that much. Lucien eventually managed to hit the White River Flood and put it away, but not before a lot of rolling about on the mat in King Cake's cradle hold. Still, Lucien has now punched his ticket to the third round.


The young Idaho rookie getting outplayed by the veteran in this case. Anna gave what she could, but the axe kicks added up and gave Hawkins the win.


Wouldn't you know it, McCoy does it again. Managing to get through Griner's technical skill, Jeremiah McCoy kept the pace hot and fast, and came away with a huge victory... but how far can he take it?


Selene Ciel looks like a world-beater right now. An absolutely dominant performance, though Kitty did her best to hold on for as long as she could.


HOW ON EARTH?! Allison Avery scores maybe the single biggest upset of the entire tournament with one CRUSHING lariat, stunning the world and absolutely ASTOUNDING the crowd. This could be one of the most shocking moments of the entire tournament, right here.


A ton of back and forth here to close out the card, both trying their hardest to put this thing to rest... but it'd be Summers that finally sealed it with that Reverse Figure Four, and set herself up for a meeting with Anthony Kalb.
