Tiger Stripe Promotions

I keep having computer issues leading to about half a match being streamed before my computer and game froze. Going to try again tonight. Unless people want to watch it live, I will just record the show and post on youtube/forum soon after. Womens show might also still happen tonight, but will probably be moved back as well.

TSP Horn of Plenty Results! Finally!

Kakita and Great Oni vs. The Buddy Brothers

The quick and harsh turn of Super Kakita towards his former rival Great Oni has shocked TSP fans. Great Oni, once thought dead, has finally fully returned to TSP.  Great Oni returned to help Super Kakita defeat members of the Tennessee Mafia that had been plaguing Kakita for weeks. No one is quite sure how Oni was able to bring Kakita into his fold, but following this match no one questions Oni's power moving forward.

The Buddy Brothers have had a rough year in 2020. Earlier this year they achieved their dream of winning tag team glory only for it to be taken away by the Tennessee Mafia and a brutal neck injury to Ted Buddy. During Ted's long recovery, Chris Buddy had limited success in the ring, which seemed to cause resentment within Chris. Once Ted returned in late summer, it was Chris who abandoned his brother during a tag match in a losing effort. During the backstage fight post match, Hanshin Tiger and Super Kakita were able to separate the brothers and assist in repairing those bonds. 

That brings up to Horn of Plenty. No one expected what happened. Super Kakita is no more. Only KAKITA remains. 


The match started with nothing amiss. The crowd was a bit shocked at the change of Super Kakita, but otherwise supported the Buddy Brothers. At some point the Ted and Chris had words with each other leading to Chris to leave the match. Ted, deflated at the sudden departure of his brother, continued on despite the sadness in his eyes. Ted was able to stay competitive with the veteran Oni and KAKITA. Minutes later Chris Buddy returned, but not alone. Chris Buddy was joined by Chris Lunar, both of whom hit the ring and attacked Ted. Ted's fighting spirit allowed him to withstand the attack, but a KAKITA head drop which reinjured Ted's neck injury led to the pinfall. 

Post match Kakita, Great Oni, Chris Lunar and Chris Buddy stood together in the ring and bowed to the audience. A loud ring of boos answered their cruel taunt. Ted was examined by the TSP medical team and was sent to Baptist Hospital for further evaluation. More on all this in the new year.





Steven Kaiser vs. Mike Channels


This match was made following Kaiser and Channels interactions during the tag match on the 11/12 edition of Thursday Night Combat. Kaiser was added into that match following a parking lot attack on Montgomery Star before the match. Channels and Kaiser added an intensity and violence to the match many did not expect. Hanshin Tiger enjoying their interactions and looking for anyway to make the Tennessee Mafia suffer, made the match quickly following the 11/12 episode. 

Kaiser came into this match on a win streak and has been quickly becoming a fan favorite for his very violent and often bloody matches. Kaiser has gotten several write ups of late despite the criticism of his dangerous headbutts. Channels on the other hand has dived deeper into his madness. The once respected former Half Stripe champion has become a twisted version of his former self. Channels has found himself in the role of the wild eyed attack dog for the Tennessee Mafia often used to attack opponents in public, and suss out an opponents weakness. Channels being on Kaisers level means the Dr. Daniel Jones may have something in store for the young up and comer in the near future.

Despite Channels crazy but very controlled style, Kaiser was able to keep control most of the match and put Channels away in convincing fashion. Where this victory takes Kaiser is anyone's guess, but I can imagine a title shot in the near future is a big possibility.




Holiday Tide Battle Royale



It was recently announced that Hyper Dragon and Pole Star would be teaming with Tiger Trillions to start a new TSP umbrella company in Japan. Current information is limited but using connections from Hanshin Tiger and Astral Ark, the new promotion will be based out of Osaka, Japan and work closely with both Astral Ark and Blood Blossom Wrestling. Tiger Stripe Pro will certainly miss many of the wrestlers leaving for Japan in our home base of Alabama, this expansion will allow wrestlers not able to make tape for TSP a chance to shine and grow the TSP family. 

With this Battle Royale we tried to feature newer wrestlers (Sara Rosencratz, Markus Von Thorpe, UGRK Longbone) and wrestlers leaving to join the new group in Japan (Tiger Trillions, Prince Kitsune, Blue Jay Kid, El Hijo del Angulia, Julius Melnikov). I thought most everyone showed what they are best at and really impressed me a lot. I think this new fed will be fun and hopefully stylistically different from what I have been doing with TSP. Julius was able to defeat the younger, stronger and bigger Markus Von Thorpe. I found it fitting that Julius won since he was former known as just Rat back in MCW/LLCW-i days (FP Returns days) and this being the year of the rat.

Rampage Hunter (c)(Warrior Pro) vs. William Flippo 


William Flippo found himself in another match against Rampage Hunter by chance. Before Holiday Tide, no challenger had been found yet and no one was volunteering to face the buzzsaw that is Rampage Hunter. Minutes before the match Hunter still did not have an opponent. Hanshin was arguing with Hunter after Hunter claiming TSP was "full of **** cowards". William Fippo emerging from the bathroom and hearing this took offense to the statement and the match was made.

As we have seen in other Southeastern States Memorial Title Matches, Rampage Hunter controlled most of the match. William showed a bit more technical prowess than his previous match with Hunter, a testament to his training in Japan for Astral Ark. Hunter was able to withstand William's submission attempts and put him away following a vicious spear. Some fans argued that William kicked out at 2.9, but the refs call went unchanged. Hunter and Flippo had words post match. TSP officials, Gordon Flippo and  Steven Kaiser came out to separate the two and lead them backstage.

Who will face Rampage Hunter next and will anyone be able to take the title off of him?



Quad Crown World Title: Faaborg (c) vs. KK Ryu

These two were destined to fight again as soon as their first match ended. Faaborg had ended KK Ryu's first major title run in violent fashion, giving the former champion a broken nose and bruised spirit. Ryu left TSP and the country to find himself. According to a recent interview in Big Ring Magazine, Ryu went to his family home outside of Sapporo, Japan. He helped his farming family plant the new crop and tend to the cattle. Reconnecting with his family "made me strong in body but more importantly spirit. I lost to Faaborg because my spirit quit." During his time in Japan, Ryu traveled to Osaka and met with Astral Ark head coach Matsu Toki. Toki had a hand in training Faaborg and showed Ryu what he needed to defeat the Dutch titan. 

Faaborg on the other hand trained with independent wrestler Muscle Jones at his gym, Supreme Muscle, in Birmingham, Alabama. Faaborg made a minor social media viral sensation, by breaking several Alabama weight training records as well as puncturing a large heavy bag with a single kick. Many TSP fans noted Faaborg eyes looked unhinged in the video and worried he would do far more than break Ryu's nose in the rematch. 

The match itself was a surprise. It did not go as long as the original match. Faaborg showed off several new moves and despite the occasional cover seemed looked to be attempting to injury or outright kill Ryu. Despite the new and violent offense from the champ. Ryu did not relent either. Suplex, head drops, and chops took down Faaborg time after time. Ryu at times was able to push Faaborg down. Ryu at the end was able to get behind a visibly tired Faaborg and drop Faaborg using a devastating Murder Backdrop. 

Ryu has returned to the promise land. Will KK Ryu be able to lead TSP into 2021 and beyond?






 E. Fairview Street Fight: Tennessee Mafia vs. Goat Hill Heroes (Montgomery Star and Pat Lewis) and MUSCLE GAINS (PCP)


These two teams have been at each others throats for months now. Muscle Gains and the Tennessee Mafia have been fighting for the Dual Hearts tag titles for most of 2020, with Muscle Gains unable to secure the win. The Goat Hill Heroes were able to someone beat  Jones and Smithly in a big upset surprise at Fall Fright Night 3 in October. Since then the Tennessee Mafia and Dr. Daniel Jones have been attacking both Muscle Gains and The Goat Hill Heroes constantly. It was only a matter of time before these teams would meet. 

Hanshin Tiger looking to hopefully end this war, brought in deathmatch engineers from LCW to make this E. Fairview Street fight a violent, bloody affair. This match delievered. Maybe the most bloody match in the promotions long history. The mat was soaked, and audience members in the front row almost had a smash zone effect of blood once the explosions started going. The Tennessee Mafia team was able to control most of the match, taking out the makeshift Muscle Heroes team one by one. Jimmy Barrett was knocked out leaving the Muscle Heroes victim to the awesome more of Arizona Jackson and Tom Flikkema. Eventually Montgomery Star was left against three bruisers and despite his experience and heart, Arizona Jackson took him out with a vicious Brainbuster Choke Slam.

Post match the rest of the Tennessee Mafia hit the ring. A chorus of boos rang through the Montgomery Civic Center as Dr. Daniel Jones took the mic.

"Hanshin! Hanshin! Can you hear me son? We beat your little champs into Alabama trash! What are you gonna do about it? You gonna give my boys their title matches yet? We will gladly take both set of titles off your hands. <laughter from all the members of the TN Mafia> I wont even bring in my VERY EXPENSIVE NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA LAWWWYYYEEERRSSS to write up a contract for you to read. You make the match and we will do the rest."

Tennessee Mafia begin to leave but not before picking up Dr. Daniel Jones and tossing him up in the air in celebration. More boos from the audience ring out and trash is thrown into the blood drenched ring.

Sounds great, I like the bi-monthly schedule idea, generally, I've found the best way to keep feds running smoothly is to keep to a schedule, even if it means you have to cut corners now and then to keep that habit going. Holiday Tide sounds like a heckova event, too!

Great to see you back around!
