SHTCW:a Season Two, Episode Five Resultsper dirtsheetdaily.comWell, that was quite the night of action here in Swansea for SHTCW:a. A night of some fantastic matches, especially the World Championship match and the main event for the 43/142 PURORESU World Championship. It wasn't the best night overall for matches, but it was arguably one of the most fun nights in SHTCW:a history. Not a huge crowd out here in Swansea, but most definitely a rowdy one. It was a great night, really.RESULTS:Pre-Show:
Surprise Match: Cadillac Callahan w/ Tommy Buick vs. Persephone Pollux w/ Crash Mezzanine and Tachyon:
Cadillac has the nerve TO WRESTLE WITH HIS SUNGLASSES ON. What a prick. Biggg strike exchanges from the two as we get settled into the match and Perseophone is trying to quicken the pace here. Bigggg rebound lariat and a junk punch from Cadillac gets a two-count. ANOTHER BIG LARIAT! 2.9! This is all Cadillac right now. Until a series of biggg kicks and run-up kicks from Perseophone! More strike exchanges! BIGGG BRAINBUSTER FROM CADILLAC! CAN'T CAPITALIZE! COOL DROP FOLLOWS IT UP!
1...
2...
3! Cadillac takes it and the Rude Dudes With 'Tude get a much-needed win after not being seen for quite some time.
Spooktacular Battle Royale Rematch: El Swampo vs. Shred Skullington the Shredding Skeleton: It's the Swamp Beast against THE SPOOKY SCARY SKELETON. EARLY SWAMP MAGIC FROM SWAMPO! RIGHT INTO A TORBELLINO! AND THE SWAMP CLAWWWWWWW! Swampo is taking it to Skullington! Early two-count and we're not even three minutes in. MOUNTS FROM SWAMPO! SWAMP MAGIC AGAIN! Bigggggg Karelin Lift from Swampo. She(?) is taking it to Skullington. BRAINBUSTER AT THE FIVE MINUTE MARK! SHE SITS RIGHT ON SKULLINGTON'S FACE WITH THE BARMIAN STOMP!
1...
2...
3! Welp, that was a squash and a half.Beth Excellent vs. Regan O'Reilly, Winner Gets Royal Destiny Entry:
The Atomic Blondes make a rare appearance in one-on-one competition for a Royal Destiny spot. Two mat specialists going at it here, though Regan favours strikes to finish off her competition while Beth is all about that ARMWORK. Regan is going to work early, though, on Beth's arms with the Shoulder Buster. But Beth comes right back with arm work of her own. Mounted punches from Beth! And a Single Leg Crab. She is just trying to wear down Regan and keep this match slow-paced. Niceee mount from Beth transitioning right into an armbar, but Regan withstands it and goes on the offense! SHINING TRIANGLE FROM BETH BUT REGAN WON'T TAP! REF BUMP! REGAN DUMPED TO THE OUTSIDE! BACK IN AND SHE HITS A HUGE BELLY-TO-BACK! UP TO THE TOP FOR A TOP ROPE CODEBREAKER! INTO THE O'REILLY LOCK! BUT NOW BETH WON'T TAP! AIR RAID SIREN FROM BETH! She's dumped to the outside and grabs a chair! FLASHBACK ONTO THE CHAIR FROM REGAN! ANOTHER SHOULDER BUSTER FROM REGAN! O'REILLY LOCK! Excellent tries to call off the match and extends her hand to her friend and semi-regular tag partner... INTO THE TRAP ARMBAR! BUT REGAN WON'T TAP! WHAT A SPOT!BIGGGG LIONTAMER FROM REGAN OUT OF NOWHERE AND BETH'S BACK AND SHOULDERS ARE MANGLED! SHE TAPS AND REGAN IS IN THE ROYAL DESTINY TOURNAMENT!
Milkshake Jones vs. Beef McHugeBulk: Winner Gets Royal Destiny Entry:
THE BOOGIEST DUDE VS. THE BUFFEST DUDE. And neither man has their tag partners out here. Bigggggggg manly strike exchanges from the two brawlers to start the match and Milkshake wants nothing to do with it, dumping Beef to the outside. He then tries to ground Beef with some headlocks and grinding the pace of the match down. HIP SWIVELS FROM MILKSHAKE SAYING HE'S NUMBER ONE! Manhattan Drop into a Bigggg Boot. Another Bigggg Boot and Milkshake is rolling as he dumps Beef to the outside. FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER DIVE! WORRRRRRRRRRM! OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO! 1... 2...2.9! Biggg Vertical Suplex and Beef is dumped to the outside again. ALABAAAAAAAMAAAAA SLAM! WORM AGAIN! ROPE BREAK! This is alllll Milkshake. HIP SWIVEL INTO ANOTHER BIG BOOT! HE SHOWS OFF THE MUSCLES AND HITS ANOTHER ONE!
ALABAMA SLAM AGAIN!
THE WORRRMMM GETS THE THREE COUNT!
Surprise Match: El Hijo del 8-Bit vs. Golazo: More lucha to end the pre-show as 8-Bit seems quite made he's not in the lucha battle royale later tonight. Golazo rocking a Barcelona kit isn't really getting much love either from the rowdy Swansea fans. And as is tradition in a lucha match we have hip tosses a-plenty in the opening minutes. Nice corner running dropkick from Golazo but 8-Bit's in the ropes. Bigggg diving headbutt from 8-Bit! ANOTHER HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING! Brainbuster from 8-Bit! Roll-up from 8-Bit! 2.9! Two biggg leg drops from the top from 8-Bit! La Magistrallllll and 8-Bit dominates Golazo to take the win.
Main Card:
SHTCW:a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Colossus Rhodes vs. Mayday Malone (C):
We're starting off with arguably the biggest match of the night and definitely the biggest test in Mayday Malone's career against Colossus Rhodes. Clubbbinggg blows from Rhodes starts us off and Malone tries to shoot Rhodes into the ropes but he's having none of it. She whips him this time, goes for a dropkick—stuffffed. And she's immediately clubbed to the mat. She's in for a grind tonight if she wants to get a win. Colossus is smartly just using his size advantage to club Mayday to the mat and not use any excessive energy if he doesn't have to. Simple physics, really: just put her down to the mat and make her do the work in trying to take you down. Biggggg shoulder claw as Rhodes just continues to work over Malone. And now he's just choking her! Headbutts and chokes from Rhodes! And another shoulder claw at the six minute mark. This is all Rhodes. Malone whips him into the corner! Stuffed again! Backbreaker into a big stomp and a cocky pin gets a one! Mayday defiantly kicks out. AIRPLANE SPIN FROM MALONE! SHE GOT THE BIG MAN UP FOR AN AIRPLANE SPIN AND THE CROWD ERUPTS! But her offense is short-lived as she's ground down into the mat again. To the outside they go! GANSO BOMB FROM RHODES! BUT MAYDAY IS UP! SHE NO-SELLS! Colossus taking it to Mayday! Bigggg Lariat! And another off a strike exchange. Bigggg elbows from Mayday. Into a backswitch but Colossus swings right back with wild elbows of his own. Fifteen minutes in and this is all Colossus but Mayday is still in this. She's lasted fifteen minutes already, which is a definite feat in and of itself. SHE LIFTS THE BIG MAN UP! BODYSLAM TO THE OUTSIDE! Back in they come. RHODES CATCHES MAYDAY OUT OF NOWHERE! GANSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 1...2...2.9! Neckbreaker into a top rope leg drop but Mayday whiffs! Clubbed down and she's back up! Slingblade but she can't capitalize! RUNNING BULLDOG INTO A TOP ROPE ELBOW RIGHT INTO RHODES' HEART! CHOKESLAM OUT OF NOWHERE FROM RHODES! TWISTING NECKBREAKER! GOING FOR ROUND THE BASES BUT COLOSSUS COUNTERS! TOP ROPE CHOP INTO A RUN-UP ELBOW SQUARE TO RHODES' BACK! RHODES IS BACK UP!GANSO BOMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB! 1... 2... 2.9! CHOKE SLAM OUT OF PURE FRUSTRATION! BODYSLAM FROM MAYDAY! SHE CALLS FOR THE SWING FOR THE FENCES ELBOW! BLOCKED BY RHODES! ROUND THE BASES SUBMISSION! BUT RHODES WON'T TAP! We're at the half-hour mark! Big strikes from both competitors. TWISTING NECKBREAKER OUT OF NOWHERE!
1...
2...
3! MAYDAY RETAINS VS. THE COLOSSUS IN HER TOUGHEST MATCH TO DATE!
George Eggman w/ John Pepper vs. Crusher Stevens:
We got a big ol' hossfight here following up one of SHTCW:a's best matches ever and definitely the highlight of Mayday Malone's career. Eggman goes for a spear not even twenty seconds into the match and whiffs badly. He eats a bigggg deadlift suplex and kicks out at one. Andddd Pepper has rolled a chair into the ring. SPEAR FROM EGGMAN! BUT IT'S NO-SOLD AND EGGMAN IS SUPLEXED TO THE OUTSIDE! Biggg brawl on the outside. Biggg Airplane Spin from Eggman! He then dumps Crusher onto the chair twice! Two-count for Eggman. BARMIAN STOMP FROM CRUSHER! TAKING A PAGE OUT OF SWAMPO'S BOOK! TWO-COUNT! CHOKE SLAM FROM STEVENS—NO BLOCKED! AND AGAIN! FLAPJACK FROM EGGMAN! STOMP INTO A CAMEL CLUTCH BUT STEVENS WON'T TAP! DUMPS EGGMAN TO THE OUTSIDE! Ten minute mark now! Deeeeeeeelayyyyeedd Vertical Suplex has Stevens in the air for ten seconds. BUT HE HITS A BIG LARIAT THAT TURNS EGGMAN INSIDE OUT! SPEAR NO-SOLD! ANOTHER BIGGGG LARIAT!
GREENADDDEE CHOKE SLAM FINALLY CONNECTS!
1...
2...
3! STEVENS WINS! He gets on the mic and tells Eggman to stick to the tag division. In comes Pepper to try to make the save but he eats a Grenade for his troubles too!
Minerva vs. Fergus Gray, Winner Gets Penultimate Royal Destiny Spot:
This starts off as a big back and forth brawl as you'd expect it to from these two. Biggg mounting knees from Fergus, who is really out to prove something here. MOUNTAIN BOMB FROM FERGUS NOT EVEN THREE MINUTES INTO THE MATCH! GOES UP TOP BUT WHIFFS! KARELIN LIFT FROM MINERVA! Some amazing power on display. These two are going at a million miles a minute and we're not even five minutes into the match. No feeling out period here. Just pure brute strength from both of them. To the outside and it's bedlam as Gray whips Minerva back and forth around ringside. Minerva stuffs an MMA mount from Gray and POWERBOMBS HIM! DOESN'T STUFF THIS ONE! KARELIN FROM GRAY! MINERVA'S GRACE (Guitarra de Angel) OUT OF NOWHERE! AND SHE SITS ON HIS FACE! 1... 2... 2.9! DIVING SHOULDER BLOCK FROM THE TOP BY MINERVA! IS THAT...
It's Ms. DDT! And Yōkai! MS. DDT MIGHT BE TRYING TO GET GRAY OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT BEFORE SHE HERSELF IS EVEN IN IT! But Yōkai is trying to even the odds! WHAT IS HAPPENING!
KARMA OUT OF NOWHERE FROM GRAY AS HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE DISTRACTIONS!
1...
2...
3! 4-Way Elimination Match for Final Royal Destiny Spot: Mr. Brainbuster vs. Mr. Piledriver vs. Señor Powerbomb vs. Ms. DDT:
Pins a-go-go from everyone here as they all want this done and over with fast. I'm not even going to try to call this. It's just bedlam! BLAZING TORNADO FROM BRAINBUSTER! 2.9999999999999 DDT KICKS OUT! Big Brainbuster dumps Powerbomb to the outside! BIG BRAWL ON THE OUTSIDE! DDT IS LOOPY! JUST GETS IN AT 19! BIGGGGGGG PILEDRIVER SPIKES POWERBOMB!
1...
2...
3! HE'S ELIMINATED! DDT CATCHES PILEDRIVER! DOWN TO THE FORMER LOVERS AND ONCE WIFE/HUSBAND, MR. BRAINBUSTER AND MS. DDT!
If you did not know, Mr. Brainbuster trained Ms. DDT and the two fell in love. But once he tried to persuade her Brainbusters were the best wrestling move she had enough. It was obviously the DDT.
Well, TONIGHT IT'S THE BRAINBUSTER! HE CATCHES HER WITH ONE AND GETS THE THREE-COUNT! MR. BRAINBUSTER IS IN THE ROYAL DESTINY TOURNAMENT!
LUCHA CROWN #1 CONTENDER'S BATTLE ROYALE: Alouette vs. Flash the Mighty vs. Harvey Wolfman vs. Jack Gold vs. Golden Horus vs. Haruka Matsura vs. "Livewire" Lauryn Lyndon vs. Misterio Guerrero:
MORE CHAOS! We have a big ol' lucha battle royale here. Pins galore in the early-goings but no one's out yet. Elbow whiff from Lyndon! Wolfman capitalizes with a Moonsault to her back! Three-count and the rookie is gone. RUN-UP MOONSAULT FROM HARVEY! TWISTING SENTON FROM HORUS! ON GUERRERO! HARUKA WITH THE MIST BUT SHE MISSES EVERYONE! DESTINO FROM ALOUETTE! STANDING MOONSAULT!
1...
2...
3! HARUKA IS GONE SECOND IN HER DEBUT! BIGGGGGGGGG CANNONBALL SENTON FROM JACK GOLD! HALFWAY ACROSS THE DAMNED RING HE HITS FLASH! RUN-UP MOONSAULT FROM WOLFMAN ON GOLD! THREE-COUNT!
WARRIOR SPLASH FROM GUERRERO ON FLASH! THREE-COUNT! WOLFMAN GETS ROLLED UP BY ALOUETTE! AND HE HITS A DEADLIFT GERMAN ON GUERRERO BEFORE HE LEAVES! SPINNING OWL KICK/S.O.S. BY ALOUETTE ON GUERRERO! GETS HIM! ALOUETTE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! 'RANA ON GOLDEN HORUS AND ALOUETTE TAKES IT! SHE FACES DYNAMO TIGRESS FOR THE LUCHA CROWN!
MAIN EVENT: 43/142 PURORESU WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT ELMINATION MATCH: Shou Saito vs. CJ Fresh vs. Denji Sonoda (C):
Here we go with the main event of the evening as CJ Fresh gets a chance at gold against Shou Saito and Denji Sonoda. The two men fought to a time limit draw for the 43/142 PURO Championship with Fresh destined to face the winner. So now we see a triple threat match. All three minute are getting in offense and trading off pairing up in the early going as the mat is still stained in blood from the earlier Battle Royale. Five minutes in and it's really anyone's match. Bigggggggggggg strike rush from Denji and CJ follows up with a running kick to the seated Saito. Sneaky roll-up attempt from Fresh gets a two-count on Saito. Another one on Sonoda and he kicks out before one! Slaps for everyone from CJ! Deadlift German from Saito to Fresh, and for some reason it's broken up by Denji! Maybe he wants the pin on Fresh. FRESH PILEDRIVEN BY SAITO! Saito knocks Fresh down, goes for a taunt and gets CHOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPED down by Sonoda. FRESH DROP ON SONODA! SAITO BREAKS IT UP! BOW & ARROW HOLD ON SONODA! MOONSAULT FOOT STOMP ON FRESH! FRESH IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION! SONODA CHOPS SAITO AND FRESH CRASHES TO THE MAT! KENTA RUSH INTO THE SUPERMAN PUNCH FROM FRESH! SONODA KICKS OUT AT TWO! ENDLESS GERMANS FROM SAITO! TWO! CJ BACK SWITCHES! AXE KICK FROM SONODA! SHINING WIZARD FROM SAITO! TOO GASSED! PILEDRIVER! NO-SOLD! DEATH MAGNETIC FROM SONODA ON SAITO! CJ HITS THE FRESH DROP ON SONODA! SAITO'S UP AND HITS THE SHINING WIZARD! EVERYONE GETS THEIR SPOT!
1...
2...
3! FRESH IS OUT! BIG STRIKES FROM BOTH MEN! CROYT'S WRATH FROM SAITO! KICK OUT AT TWO! BIG ROLLING ELBOW IN THE CORNER FOR SAITO! SONODA SHAKES IT OFF AND DUMPS SAITO! CALLS FOR THE APOCALYPSE KNEEEEEEEEEEE!
NAILS IT!
1...
2...
3! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! AND STILL YOUR 43/142 PURORESU WORLD CHAMP: DENJI SONODA!
Everyone gets a standing ovation for that match and the ravenous crowd demand they come back as we close out the night.
SHTCW:a Season Two, Episode Five Fallout, Royal Destiny and Episode Six Card Taking Shape We cut to the backstage area and find Milkshake Jones alongside Midnight Brown packing up their bags, ready to leave for the night.
From SHTCW:a's website:
Due to the attack on Milkshake Jones from an unseen force, unfortunately he cannot compete in the Royal Destiny tournament. Regardless of his motivations and his tactics, Jones won his qualifying match fair and square. So, he will get a shot at the World Championship later on down the line—not a guaranteed one-on-one match, but he will have a chance to earn #1 Contendership. As for who will replace Milkshake Jones: we are giving that opportunity to someone who thoroughly impressed us during last night's main event: Shou Saito.
MAYDAY MALONE:
REGAN O' REILLY:
In the medical area we see Beth Excellent being tended to when Regan O'Reilly comes up to her. She offers her hand out to her tag partner and Beth takes it. AND REGAN PULLS HER INTO AN ARMBAR! SHE REPEATS THE SPOT FROM THEIR MATCH AND TAKES BETH DOWN TO THE FLOOR, WRENCHING ON EXCELLENT'S ARM BEFORE OFFICIALS PULL HER AWAY FROM EXCELLENT.
O'REILLY: Nothing personal, Beth. As always.
Now, onto Royal Destiny: I had to QUALIFY for this tournament whilst others were just GIFTED their chance. Gifted their chance because they sleep with Will Craddock or gifted their chance because they trained him. Gifted their chance because they're former World Champions that squandered that chance and are nothing but failures; gifted those title shots in the first place by some arbitrary logic that makes no sense. And here I am, the baddest bitch, the blondest bitch—
She takes a chance to stomp on the downed Excellent's arm.
O'REILLY (CONT'D.): in the whole damned locker room and I had to EARN this tournament spot. I had to demand it and that wasn't even enough when Will Craddock knows I'm one of the best he's got. It's because he's scared. It's because they don't want a bad boss bitch to take over their company. That's what it is. They know I'm too damned good for this company so they keep me down. Well, now, I've had to put someone whom I truly care about in their place. And if that's what I had to do to a best friend, imagine what I'm going to do to my enemies. So, the rest of this Royal Destiny tournament better get ready: this boss-ass blonde bitch is coming for you.
EPISODE SIX MAIN CARD FINALIZED:We saw some very interesting developments last episode and as such the Episode Six Card is really taking shape, with the main card confirmed and the pre-show to be determined. Due to the interference during Fergus Gray and Minerva's match, Ms. DDT will be taking on Fergus Gray and Yōkai takes on Minerva. Meanwhile, Alouette and Harvey Wolfman continued their low-key rivalry throughout the lucha battle royale and the #1 Contender will face off against Wolfman in a 1-on-1 match. If Wolfman wins he will be entered in the LUCHA CROWN title match to make it a triple threat. No Name will get his chance at the NO LIMITS title at episode six, taking on surprise champ BLOOD DRAGON in a Barbed Wire Deathmatch, with explosions set for 15 minutes. We'll also see the surprise debut of two SHTCW:a students, Remy Rondelle and Frankie Free Throw against the Rude Dudes with 'Tude, who are back in the SHTCW:a scene and trying to maybe stake a claim for The Beat-Alls' tag titles. Episode Six Main Card, Pre-Show TBD:

Awesome show, sorry I missed it live (I acquired free Warrior tickets- only to watch the Bucks crush them, but I digress...) The championship match was epic- Mayday was great in chopping down Rhodes- who is still fucking terrifying. Also glad to see Jack Gold actually last more than 5 minutes without getting critical-ed, even if he did look a little lost in that battle royal hahaha.

A little scene back in the states with Colossus Rhodes and Midas Matthews. Morgan “Midas” Matthews is not a happy man at this moment. Pacing back and forth in his massive office, light reflecting off his signature gold suit, the tycoon finally stops, slamming both fists on his desk, as he stares up at a silent, motionless Colossus Rhodes.
Morgan “Midas” Matthews: That was intolerable!
Again, Midas paces the room, before turning back and pointing to the camera.
Midas: You see this? I’m broadcasting this to the world, so everyone out there knows exactly how much you disappointed me!
Shaking his head, Matthews turns back to Colossus, lifting a finger towards the giant’s masked head.
Midas: I went through a lot of trouble to find you! And I only pick the best of the best! And nobody can say that Morgan Matthews does not know how to find a winner! But lately, I have been displeased. Ibrahim Rahman went and got himself injured on that pointless African tour. Before that, Crusher Honda could not get the job done against that moron from Texas! And now! Now even my Immovable Object went off and what did you do? You lost to a little girl who plays dress-up in baseball uniforms! You lost to someone who should be a mascot! Who was one fourth of your size! How does that happen?
Colossus starts to raise one of his immense arms, only for Midas to again shout up at him.
Midas: And don’t you even think of responding to me! Your aura’s been shattered, and let me tell you this, if you didn’t already know. A giant who doesn’t look unstoppable? Nobody pays to see that! As long as you looked like you were completely invincible, you were my top acquisition. And I bet on that. You made me lose money, Colossus Rhodes. Nobody makes me lose money with impunity! You are a failure, a joke, a laughing stock of the wrestling world! You are a waste, a disgrace, a worthless oaf, and you shouldn’t even be able to get a job doing…
Rhodes reaches out, grasping his employer by the throat. Amazingly, it appears that Midas is completely unperturbed, and slowly, methodically pries each finger from his neck before viciously slapping and backfisting Rhodes across his face.
Midas: Do not ever do that again. Not if you value your life. Let me make this perfectly clear. You work for me. Do not forget this. Never forget this fact.
Matthews takes in a short breath, and his tone shifts back to normal.
Midas: Now, I do not believe you are entirely irredeemable. You want to look like a monster again? You want your stock to rise up again? Then go out there at Lariats #6, and break someone’s skull. Inflict fear. Inflict terror. Inflict permanent injury. And I promise that if you do this to Senator Steve Phillips, your reward will be beyond your limited range of comprehension. Remember this, and you can again be a member of good standing with Golden Touch Promotions.
A quick response from Senator Steve Phillips
Senator Steve Phillips: The words and actions of Morgan Matthews are not representative of the Senatorial Office, nor do they speak for me. Midas Matthews was indeed infuriated that his hand picked giant lost to Mayday Malone, but anyone who has ever witnessed Mayday in action knows that it would be the utmost folly to count her out of any contest. As such, I offer my own personal congratulations to Miss Malone, for an outstanding performance in one of the best matches of the year. Miss Malone, you were an example of how one can persevere against the odds, how to fight on and believe in oneself and to stand up when it matters, and that, my friends, is nothing...but the truth.

SHTCW:a NEWS: ROYAL DESTINY BLOCK ONE NIGHT ONE ROUNDUP, PROMOS, EPISODE SIX GETS A NAME AND VENUE, ETC.MR. BRAINBUSTER:IT IS, OF COURSE, THE DESTINY—THE ROYAL DESTINY OF MR. BRAINBUSTER TO BE INCLUDED IN SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS TOURNAMENT AS THIS. MR. PILEDRIVER CALLS HIMSELF ROYALTY—THE PILEDRIVER "KING"—KING? YES, KING OF GARBAGE, MAYBE. A KING WITH A CROWN MADE OUT OF GARBAGE AND SCAT. AND THIS FALSE KING, THIS KING OF BAD WRESTLING MOVES, HE WAS DEALT WITH HANDILY IN THE BATTLE ROYALE, AND HAS BEEN BESTED BY ME ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS. THE BLATHERING IDIOT KNOWN AS "POWERBOMB" HAS BEEN FELLED ONCE AGAIN, AND NOW, THE NEWEST CONQUEST OF MINE—BOTH IN THE RING AND OUT OF IT, MY FORMER LOVER, MS. DDT, HAS SEEN HER SHOULDERS PINNED DOWN BY ME ONCE AGAIN. OH, MS. DDT. THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN DIFFERENT FOR YOU HAD YOU JUST SEEN IT MY WAY—HAD YOU JUST FOLLOWED YOUR DUTIES AND SEEN THAT THE BRAINBUSTER IS THE TRUE, ULTIMATE WRESTLING MOVE. BUT KNOW I'VE HAD TO PUT YOU, ALONG WITH THE OTHER TWO PLEBES, IN YOUR PLACE. SO, IF ANYONE DESERVES TO BE KNOWN AS WRESTLING ROYALTY AROUND HERE, IT IS ME, MR. BRAINBUSTER. SO, FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD, I DUB MYSELF BARON VON BRAINBUSTER. AND EVERYONE IN BLOCK TWO HAD BETTER KNEEL BEFORE ME UNLESS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MEET THE SAME FATE AS THOSE WHO QUARRELED WITH ME IN THE BATTLE ROYALE: THEIR BRAINS BUSTED.RESULTS:
Fergus Gray (0 PTS) vs. Bronson Fury (0 PTS):
This was utter decimation by Fergus Gray, who evidently, is out to prove something in this tournament. Fury tried to ground Gray, but evidently didn't study his stronger opponent enough, as Gray utilized his own MMA training to stuff Fury at every attempt before he simply outpowered the Beast of Brighton and ended it with the Karma. This may be his new go-to move. Gray earns three points in an impressive way. Regan O' Reilly (0 PTS) vs. Fyfe Donnelly (0 PTS):This was a much more even bout than the last with both competitors going for plenty of limb damage and trying to break the other down. O'Reilly locked in the Liontamer and the O'Reilly Lock (Cattle Mutilation) whilst Donnelly wore down O'Reilly with plenty of armbars after destroying her shoulder. After that Donnelly went for a chair and attempted to seal the win with a wild shot aimed at O'Reilly's arm but missed. O'Reilly took advantage, grabbing the chair and blasting Donnelly. From there she took control, continued to work over Donnelly, and locked in a second O'Reilly lock for a shock win and three points. Nikki Knux (0 PTS) vs. El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS): This was all Fantastico in the early going, surprisingly, but eventually he gassed himself out and Knux took advantage. She looked to know EXACTLY what she was doing as she easily endured Fantastico's early onslaught then systematically tore him apart before locking in the deadly Strangle Hold Alpha and securing a tapout victory. Bobby Donnelly (0 PTS) vs. "Dastardly" Darrik Davies (0 PTS):A very early ref bump saw Davies take advantage when he grabbed a chair and blasted Donnelly but it wasn't to be as Davies and his hot streak as of late simply got torn apart by Donnelly. Donnelly, much like Knux, endured, and then simply started wrestling circles around Davies. He focused in particular on the neck of Davies and wore the WOAT down before locking in a standing chickenwing facelock and getting a surprise tapout. BLOCK ONE POINT TOTALS:Fergus Gray: 3 PTS Bronson Fury: 0 PTS Regan O'Reilly: 3 PTS Fyfe Donnelly: 0 PTS Nikki Knux: 3 PTS El Gringo Fantastico: 0 PTS Bobby Donnelly: 3 PTS "Dastardly" Darrik Davies: 0 PTS BLOCK TWO will be in action tomorrow whilst for block one, next time, Fergus Gray will face Darrik Davies, Bronson Fury takes on Bobby Donnelly, Regan O'Reilly is up against El Gringo Fantastico, and Fyfe Donnelly is in tough against Nikki Knux. Episode Six Gets a Title:SHTCW:a will be traveling to Pembrokeshire next week for episode six, titled "The Moon is a Harsh Wrestler" after the 1967 Hugo Award-winning novel The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. The time will be at 7:30 as always with a meet-and-greet for fans beforehand and a short pre-show before the main card. The card is as follows: Huge thanks to everyone who has been joining the streams recently, and for everyone who's been participating with promos, and submitting their work to be featured in SHTCW:a. This season hasn't been as story-focused as last and it's been kind of hectic but I've had a lot of fun running streams because you guys have been so awesome. Your participation and support goes a long way. :)

Royal Destiny Block Two Day One Results:CJ Fresh (0 PTS) vs. Baron von Brainbuster (0 PTS): This match was solid and the rating doesn't reflect that. The two traded some near falls in a fun, back-and-forth match before CJ took over and simply showed that he was a step above Brainbuster with his vicious kicks before putting away the vet with the Fresh Drop.
Will Craddock (0 PTS) vs. Marcel Müller (0 PTS): This match had everything and most definitely lived up to the hype. The Stuttgart Submission Machine was fast out of the gate with his armwork, focusing specifically on Craddock's deadly elbow. Müller had Craddock reeling early, getting some very close two-counts at about the 7:00 mark whilst Craddock was barely able to muster one-counts at the 10:00 mark. Roll-ups from Müller scored 2.9s and Craddock finally came back after he dumped Müller to the outside. Biggg run-up moonsault gets a 2.9, and the Death Star Destroyer obliterates Müller. But he kicks out at 2.9 at the 17:00 mark. The patented Cannonball Senton followed up by a Run-Up Moonsault from Craddock finally spells the end for Müller in a fantastic match.
Yōkai (0 PTS) vs. Kemper Tierney (0 PTS): This was a match all about Yōkai trying to work over Kemper's legs and lock in that deadly Figure Eight Leg Lock, but Kemper kept thwarting Yōkai at every opportunity. Yōkai was aggressive throughout but simply couldn't lock it in and Kemper, out of desperation, took down Yōkai and went for a jacknife hold that surprisingly got the pin. After the match Yōkai was furious, blasting Tierney with a stiff spinning kick that laid Tierney out.
Shou Saito (0 PTS) vs. Vic Baron (0 PTS): Take one of the hardest-hitting members of the SHTCW:a roster and an absolute suplex machine who impressed in his debut match for SHTCW:a and you've definitely got a recipe for an amazing match. Baron very smartly tried to wear down Saito, especially his legs and prevent the Shining Wizard. He scored close calls with a roll-up at 2.9 only to be followed up by a Bridging German for another 2.9 at the 13:00 mark. Saito shot back, though, with a devastating Croyt's Wrath, but luckily for Baron he was in the ropes. Another roll-up from Baron! 2.9! Running Liger Bomb from Saito! 2.9! Machine Suplex catches Saito and Baron picks up the shocking win!
BLOCK TWO POINTS AS OF DAY ONE: Baron von Brainbuster: 0 PTS Marcel Müller : 0 PTS Kemper Tierney : 3 PTS Vic Baron : 3 PTS Shou Saito: 0 PTS Yōkai : 0 PTS Will Craddock : 3 PTS CJ Fresh: 3 PTS
Up next for BLOCK TWO, Will Craddock faces off against Baron von Brainbuster, CJ Fresh takes on Marcel Müller, Yōkai takes on fellow countryman Shou Saito, and Vic Baron faces off against Kemper Tierney.

SHTCW:a News, Rumours, and Royal Destiny Roundup via dirtsheetdaily.comIt's been a quiet few days for SHTCW:a but everything exploded today with some VERY interesting rumours and news coming out of the Cardiff-based promotion. First, let's get to Royal Destiny results, and then we'll move onto the rumours.BLOCK ONE, NIGHT TWO & BLOCK TWO, NIGHT TWO RESULTS:
Fergus Gray (3 PTS) vs. "Dastardly" Darrik Davies (0 PTS): This was a classic big bruising hoss vs. an underhanded heel match and it was pretty even for the most part until Gray simply figured Davies out. Davies was constantly annoying the big man but couldn't really get out of the gate and his underhanded tactics could only get him so far until Gray's power was simply too much and a Flying Body Press spelled the end of Davies.Bronson Fury (0 PTS) vs. Bobby Donnelly (3 PTS): A former MMA brawler vs. catch-as-catch-can royalty in this one. These two have faced off before and Donnelly had Fury's number. In this match, the fortunes were reversed as Fury was able to simply wear down the vet. He then took it to the outside where he busted open Donnelly with a vicious (and legal) chair shot and that spelled the end for Donnelly. A Canadian Face Buster in the ring was really a formality and Fury got a much-needed three points.Regan O'Reilly (3 PTS) vs. El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS): In the early going this is surprisingly ALL Gringo but O'Reilly endures even after Gringo brings both a kendo stick and chair into the match. Honestly, this was probably Gringo's most competitive and best match in SHTCW:a, which may mean he's drastically improving or O'Reilly got lucky in qualifying and winning her last match. Regardless, Fantastico was close several times and even had the match seemingly won off the Rotten Piledriver but the ref was down after O'Reilly was Irish Whipped into her. Finally O'Reilly locked in the Torture Boston Crab and Fantastico simply had to tap out.Fyfe Donnelly (0 PTS) vs. Nikki Knux (3 PTS): What a war. You've got arguably the hardest striker going in SHTCW:a whose submission game has improved dramatically against an embittered Fyfe Donnelly trying to cast his family name aside and strike out on his own. It was all Donnelly to start, especially after he got a chair, and he had an incredible counter for every attempt at a takedown by Knux with slick stuffs and armbars from the ground that really impressed. Nikki endured a Donnnelly Deathgrip at about the 12:00 mark whilst Fyfe showed his own fortitude, gutting out a running Christo from the corner shortly after that. It was all Knux from there but even after she dumped Donelly onto the chair and locked in the Strangle Hold Alpha, Donnelly still wouldn't tap. And in a shocking result, Donnelly had Knux in trouble in the corner and she passed out, with Fyfe picking up the win to end the afternoon and take him to three points.BLOCK TWO RESULTS:
Will Craddock (3 PTS) vs. Baron von Brainbuster (0 PTS): Credit where credit is due. Brainbuster surprisingly took Craddock to the limit for a bit, getting a bunch of near falls and dominating the early match. But after a close 2.9 off a Brainbuster it seemed that something was awakened in Craddock and he was no longer playing around. The Welsh Wrecking Ball dumped Brianbuster to the outside and once he rolled back in caught Brainbuster with the Death Star Destroyer. Somehow, miraculously, Brainbuster slipped a shoulder out at 2.9 to save the match, but immediately Craddock caught him again and that spelled the end of Brainbuster with a HUGE CRITICAL!, leaving the Baron flat on his back, knocked out.Marcel Müller (0 PTS) vs. CJ Fresh (3 PTS): This was a hard-hitting affair with the match going to the outside early and a 19 count not even five minutes in. Both men were desperate to get the win and get it fast, with Marcel eschewing his usual build of armwork, instead matching Fresh's fast-paced style with hugeeee suplexes and strikes. But it wasn't to be for Marcel as a seemingly-out-of-nowhere Fresh Drop caught the Stuttgart Submission Machine by surprise and puts his chances of winning this thing in serious jeopardy.Yōkai (0 PTS) vs. Shou Saito (0 PTS): It's almost as if these two had a chip on their shoulder and something to prove in this hard-hitting match. Both competitors came out swinging with huge kicks. Shou had the early advantage and even seemed to have the match won with a Millenial Falcon only for the ref to be down after a bump. Yōkai managed to get her shoulder up and lock in the dreaded Figure Eight Leg Lock, but the ref was STILL down. She then hit a Mutasault but the ref was STILL down! The two went to the outside and Saito hit a nasty-looking piledriver on the mats before dragging Yōkai back into the ring and grabbing a chair. A bigggg running Liger Bomb got a 2.9 whilst a Top Rope Moonsault Stomp into a run-up Moonsault got another 2.9! Roll-up from Saito gets a 2.9 and Yōkai blasts him with the chair. Up top for the Mutasault and she steals it in a hard-fought victory!Kemper Tierney (3 PTS) vs. Vic Baron (3 PTS): We've arguably got two surprise winners of their last matches squaring off here and the two slow it down considerably compared to the rest of the matches with lots of limbwork and submissions. Both wrestlers utilize submission holds that target the neck and it shows. They're trading minutes of momentum and wearing each other down, followed by desperate attempts at roll-ups. They trade their signature submissions right in the middle of the ring but neither give up in this war until FINALLY a Screw Slam catches Kemper Tierney and Baron continues his Cinderella Run.BLOCK ONE AND TWO POINTS:Block One:Fergus Gray: 6 PTS Bronson Fury: 0 PTS Regan O'Reilly: 6 PTS Fyfe Donnelly: 3 PTS Nikki Knux: 3 PTS El Gringo Fantastico: 0 PTS Bobby Donnelly: 3 PTS "Dastardly" Darrik Davies: 0 PTSBlock Two:Baron von Brainbuster: 0 PTS Marcel Müller: 0 PTS Kemper Tierney: 3 PTS Vic Baron: 6 PTS Shou Saito: 0 PTS Yōkai: 3 PTS Will Craddock: 6 PTS CJ Fresh: 6 PTSFor Block One Fergus Gray will take on El Gringo Fantastico, Regan O'Reilly faces off against Bobby Donnelly, Fyfe Donnelly takes on "Dastardly" Darrik Davies, and Nikki Knux is against Bronson Fury.For Block Two, Baron Von Brainbuster takes on Yōkai, Marcel Müller is against Shou Saito, Kemper Tierney is against CJ Fresh, and Vic Varon looks to continue his run against Will Craddock. Nikki Knux Blasts "Archaic" Promotions, Specifically ZIP JAPAN
Nikki Knux appeared in a BBC Two Wales interview the other day and whilst it was pretty standard fair to hype up this Thursday's show in Pembrokeshire, one interesting thing did come out of the interview. When asked about SHTCW:a's Penchant for Open Divisions, she put the rest of the wrestling world on blast. What's interesting was the leading question by the interviewer, but Knux, when she got into it, didn't hesitate to keep speaking rather candidly.
Charles estlin Oswald, aka CeO, found guilty of money laundering; fallout from case may lead to huge ramifications for SHTCW:a.
There were rumblings both in the dirtsheets and reportedly in the business world that billionaire mogul Charles estlin Oswald was maybe not playing up his villainous role in SHTCW:a and other promotions as much as it was simply an extension of himself. The shady business deals being portrayed in SHTCW:a and other promotions? Seemingly those may have been a case, once again, of real life being the best source of wrestling storylines.
It came out today that not only was Oswald being investigated for money laundering, but he's already copped to the charges and begun the process of liquidating assets as a plea. Two of those assetts include Lone Star Wrestling in Texas and a stake in 43/142 PURORESU; both promotions that have been involved with SHTCW:a to varying degrees. Surprisingly SHTCW:a was nowhere to be found in this list of assetts and multiple sources have verified that reports circling a while ago about CeO's involvement in the company after Season One's finale was not just a storyline; he legitimately was gone from the company and no longer held any shares in SHTCW:a.
Things start to get rather interesting as Daisuke Sonoda, aka BLOOD DRAGON was seen backstage speaking to Will Craddock at the last SHTCW:a show. This isn't too much of a surprise, but what is a surprise is seeing Ella-Mae Carter and her father and owner of Lone Star Wrestling, Jefferson Carter. There's been speculation that the SHTCW:a may take on an approach similar to that of the Senatorial Office and have its talents spread out among a collection of promotions that span the globe. It's speculation at best right now but definitely something to keep an eye on.

Love this batch of promos/reports. There's a real effort here to place SHTCWa not just in a larger context within the wrestling community, but within the outside world as well. Knux's promo was fascinating in that she obviously takes pride in her ability to go toe to toe with all foes, female and male, and has The CeO stuff is great, too, because that rotten dirty scoundrel is finally getting what was coming to him! Relinquish those properties! But it's also great because it illuminates the duality of our wrestling world, the smoke and mirrors and between the shoot and the kayfabe, by validating the "reality" of much of what goes on within the programs, but also acknowledging the tendency of the fans to disbelieve at first glance. Yes, it's like looking through a glass onion. (sorry, couldn't resist!) And seeing a possiblity for some affiliate feds for SHTCWa is tantalizing. Of course, it must also be stated that the design aesthetics of SHTCWa are always top of the line, from the literate show titles to the stupendous ring designs(which I also benefit from), to the colorful cast, nobody could ever say that this fed isn't attractive to the eyes. Keep up the great work, and you know you'll have a crowd on Thursdays. Also You ran CJ Fresh vs Marcel Muller, and it wasn't televised?!??

Vic Baron This is why I signed up with SHTCW:a. An opportunity to compete with a legend like Will Craddock. An opportunity that I have every intention of taking full advantage of. If you want to make a name for yourself, take a shot at the man at the top. I’m aiming to do just that.
People around here might be thinking that this success is a surprise, but I’ve been doing this for a while now. I’m a third generation wrestler. My grandad, Baron von Baron was a legend. My dad, Austin Baron- was a legend. My path is clear. It’s time the people outside Warrior Pro Wrestling start to see what I’m capable of.
Will Craddock is getting a front row seat.

Big thanks to everyone for the support and joining the streams. Your kind words most definitely help this sustain itself. Big ups for the promo work and participation, too. Vic Baron in particular has been very fun to have around. Been really rad to see him putting on some fantastic matches. Baron von Baron is a god-damned hilarious name, too. Also: believe me, I definitely wanted to get Marcel vs. CJ capped, along with Shou vs. Yōkai . Just been crazy busy over the last few days and didn't have time to get those matches capped.In honesty I totally run these at 800% and write a story I want to tell for the matches lol. But when I get a free moment with these matches I'm definitely gonna try to get something capped. More Speculation on SHTCW:a's Future From Store Leaks viadirtsheetdaily.comSome interesting developments in only the last few hours for SHTCW:a after yesterday's story broke about Charles Oswald's money laundering charges that lead to him having to give up his stakes in Lone Star Wrestling and 43/142 PURORESU. Earlier today, some internet sleuths at R/SquaredCircle were able to get into SHTCW:a's store's back end and found listings for new products that aren't listed anywhere on the site itself. These products include an advertisement for a limited edition Remy Rondelle goalie mask (for VERY CHEAP considering how much real masks can go for, though quality isn't known as it's only available at events and hasn't been seen in-person), as well as a set of three pins and a listing for a tracksuit. The set of pins and tracksuit is where things get interesting: One of the three pins is for Lone Star Wrestling, and the tracksuit is a 43/142 PURORESU tracksuit made by SPLX. The latter listing is doubly interesting considering 43/142 currently has no deal with SPLX that we know of and, of course, like the Lone Star Wrestling pin, is the first time the promotion has been linked to the SHTCW:a website or store. Also, very interestingly, the ad copy says "More colours and promotions to come soon." There's a lot of speculation to come with this, obviously. Many people are convinced this is definitive proof that SHTCW:a is about to embark on some kind of purchasing spree or what SHTCW:a stands for will change, while others are more hesitant to call things definitively and suggest that the tracksuits in particular have more to do with a SPLX deal and SHTCW:a's shop may just carry any and all SPLX-affiliated clothing (including SHTCW:a tracksuits), and 43/142 PURORESU's tracksuits may just be the furthest along in production. Others simply suggest that maybe SHTCW:a's shop and website are run by the same people that run 43/142 PURORESU's (which is very likely considering their similar aesthetics and the business side of both promotions being closely tied together) and there was just a mistake in the copy and listing. That seems the least likely option to be honest, and something in-between the first two is most likely.
The SHTCW:a store has never featured products from other promotions, and beyond a few mentions of talent from those promotions, the SHTCW:a site has never made explicit mention of any kind of association with these two promotions, so this is really interesting. After some more digging around, people found that both Lone Star Wrestling and 43/142's websites had code to redirect to SHTCW:a's website.
About an hour after the post went up the goalie mask was on the store but the set of pins and tracksuit were nowhere to be found and seemed to be scrubbed from the back end of the site. The redirects are still in the code as of this posting, but that may change. We reached out to owners of all three promotions, as well as CeO yesterday but have not got any response yet from any sides

Royal Destiny Results
The day before S02E06 we've got more results from Royal Destiny as the favourites are really taking shape on day three.Block One
Fergus Gray (6 PTS) vs. El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS): This was all Fergus. Don't let the match length fool you. Fantastico had some early offence and seemed obsessed with sitting on Gray's face, but that was really it—he simply let his taunting and trash talk get the better of him and Gray outpowered him until he hit the big ol' squash for the win. That said, though, Fergus needs to be careful. He unnecessarily expended a lot of energy toying with Fantastico when he could have had this match wrapped up a lot quicker. Regan O'Reilly (6 PTS) vs. Bobby Donnelly (3 PTS): This is an interesting matchup here as O'Reilly is surging and Donnelly is trying to find his footing in the tournament. The two start off the match slow-paced, feeling each other out and trying to work each other's limbs, with both wrestlers favouring submission moves that mostly target the neck but other body parts as well. Donnelly has the Donnelly Deathgrip (Modified Camel Clutch) whilst O'Reilly has the O'Reilly Lock (Cattle Mutilation). These two are trading near-fall after near-fall and roll-ups in the middle of the ring as the match pushes on. Donnelly is catching O'Reilly with kneebars and armbars but she won't tap. Cattle Mutilation twice in the middle of the ring, but Donnelly won't give! Torture Boston Crab and he still won't give as we're pushing on. 25 minutes in and this is STILL going. Neither competitor is backing down as we're trading 2.9s and submission moves but neither will give. ... OUT OF NOWHERE IT'S FYFE DONNELLY! HE'S RUSHED THE RING AS HIS FATHER IS DOWN OUTSIDE! DEEP IMPACT FROM THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE ON BOBBY! JUST AS IT SEEMED THIS WOULD GO TO A DRAW! O'REILLY ROLLS DONNELLY BACK INTO THE RING AND LOCKS IN THE TORTURE BOSTON CRAB, WRENCHING ON DONNELLY'S NECK! HE HAS TO TAP! Fyfe and Regan not only embrace, but... THEY KISS?!?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Fyfe Donnelly (3 PTS) vs. "Dastardly" Darrik Davies (0 PTS): This is ALL the newly-invigorated Donnelly here as Davies has no answer for him other than desperation roll-ups as Donnelly systematically picks apart Davies, focusing on the neck. A biggggggggggggggg FFF right in the middle of the ring and Donnelly locks in the Double Arm Camel Clutch, aka the Donnelly Deathgrip, the move his dad taught him, and Davies is done. Nikki Knux (3 PTS) vs. Bronson Fury (0 PTS): Now this is an interesting match, as we've got two former MMA fighters who've transitioned to wrestling, and a distinct size advantage for Fury. Fury also has a lot more experience in MMA. Knux is first and foremost a boxer with some MMA experience, whilst Fury is an MMA grappler through and through. And we see that in the early going. Both competitors trade mounts and takedowns but it's Fury getting most of the offense, punctuating it all with some biggg gutwrench suplex. Knux sees her gameplan isn't working, though, and adjusts, using her speed advantage and taking to the sky with some impressive moonsaults for near-falls before she dials in some VICIOUS strikes. She has Fury in the clinch several times over and just works him with calculated knees to the head. She's taking him down, dealing out some vicious strikes from the mount. And JUST LIKE THAT, OUT OF NOWHERE, A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND! The move that brought her to the dance. She eschews her normal submission work and goes back to what works: that punch. Mama Said Knock You Out knocks Fury out, for sure. Block Two:Baron von Brainbuster (0 PTS) vs. Yōkai (3 PTS): The match starts out with Brainbuster, surprisingly, slowing the pace down and just working over the Demon Spirit. He's keeping it very slow, targetting Yōkai's head with strikes. But eventually that gives way to viiiiciiiousss kicks from Yōkai and all the legwork in the world. Brainbuster tries to mount a comeback after the two battle outside and he's hitting some solid Brainbusters and showing off his power, but he's not able to get a cover on Yōkai. Moreeee huggeee kicks and she's just toying with him. Head kick, leg work, stomp, repeat. Over and over until she finally locks in the Figure Eight Leg Lock and CRITS! Brainbuster. That's TWO CRITS IN A ROW against Brainbuster and he might just be done for the tournament. Marcel Müller (0 PTS) vs. Shou Saito (0 PTS): It is absolutely shocking to see these two at zero points. Marcel is a former SHTCW:a World Champ and Shou has constantly impressed since rising up the 43/142 PURORESU ranks. But something has to give in this match. These two are trading bombs in the early-goings with big strikes and suplexes. No one can really take advantage as it's just suplex after suplex after piledriver after suplex. OUT OF NOWHERE MARCEL LOCKS IN AN ARMBAR! CRITICAL! IT CRITS SAITO! BUT... THE REF DOESN'T CALL IT? SAITO'S ARM IS HANGING LIMP AND MARCEL ROLLS HIM UP! 1... 2... 3! This was such a strange finish. Could this have been some kind of freak accident, and the two had to improvise? Really hard to say. Kemper Tierney (3 PTS) vs. CJ Fresh (6 PTS): This match starts off surprisingly slow for a CJ Fresh match as he matches pace with Kemper. The two are feeling each other out, momentum pretty even until about the 10 minute mark when CJ is just going off. Biggg kicks. FRESH DROP? Noooo, he teases it and hits the Ushi Goroshi. But Kemper shoots back and gets a quick succession of flash pins for two counts. Fresh comes back with some roll-ups and twos of his own. This is now going a million miles a minute. It's like it's going 6 to 11 minutes faster than most matches do! Sickle Hold from Tierney! CJ won't tap! Run-up Moonsault! 2.9! Now the two trade outside dives at the 20:00 mark! FRESH DROP? NO! ANOTHER USHI GOROSHI! MORE BIG MOVES AND 2.9S! FRESSSHH DROOO—NO ANOTHER USHI GOROSHI! SICKLE HOLD! BUT CJ WON'T TAP! ONLY 30 SECONDS LEFT! STRIKE EXCHANGE! EGO DRIVER! FRESH NO-SELLS! FRESSSSSSSSSSSSHHH DROPPPP! BUT IT DUMPS KEMPER TO THE OUTSIDE! HE TRIES TO DRAG HER IN BUT TIME EXPIRES! IT'S A DRAW! Vic Baron (6 PTS) vs. Will Craddock (6 PTS):
Match of the tournament? Match of the tournament. Wow. What a match. Craddock came out here with something to prove, showing off his striking ability and counters, stuffing Baron in the early-going. But Baron turned on his ability to throw around the smaller man and just wore Craddock down with huuuuge throws and armwork. And he kicked out of the Death Star Destroyer! Both men had plenty of chances with amazing sequences only to get a rope break. Then Baron looked to have it won but Craddock kicked out at 2.9 twice. Biggg Ushi Goroshi blasts Baron's neck and out of desperation Craddock locks in the Cardiff City Special (Dragon Sleeper), signalling the end for Baron. What a match, though.

SHTCW:a S02E06 RESULTSIt's an unGodly cold night here in Pembrokeshire for SHTCW:a Season Two, Episode Six. Let's get right to the results. PRE-SHOW
Cane Toad vs. Lady Bird:
IT'S THE BIG BAD TOADIE DADDY, CANE TOAD and he faces off against our inaugural Lucha Crown champ, Lady Bird. Cane Toad uses his power to his advantage to start with mounts and headbutts but Lady Bird slips out. Cane Toad wants no part of this, rolling out and grabbing a chair. Lady Bird, surprisingly, slows down the match, though, working over Cane Toad with rest holds. But it's not really having much of an effect and Cane Toad hits a bigggg shoulder block from the top. Bigggg shoulder tackle from the corner drives Lady Bird into the mat. Dropkick attempt in the corner from Lady Bird! Whiff and she gets gutwrench suplexed from the mat! MIST FROM CANE TOAD! IT MISSES! THIS ONE HITS THOUGH! SPINNING KICK FROM CANE TOAD! FATMAN PRESS! RUN-UP SENTON FROM LADY BIRD! RUNNING TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS! RUNNING SHOULDER TACKLE FROM THE CORNER! CANE TOAD UP TOP? NOOOO HE SLIPS! WHOOPS! CANADIAN DESTROYER! 2.9! CANE TOAD KICKS OUT! ANOTHER RUNNING SHOULDER TACKLE! UP TOP? NO CANE TOAD SLIPS AGAIN! HE'S TOO WET AND SLIPPERY! TRIPLE FISHERMAN! LADY BIRD GETS IT! Enigmatica vs. Fantasma Azul:
More lucha action in the pre-show here. Early Azul goes for the dreaded Spell, but whiffs. Another spell attempt but Azul catches a stifffff elbow to the face for his troubles. 'Rana attempt! Blocked into a powerbomb, but Azul quickly gets the shoulders up before a one-count. Strike exchange to follow! SPIKE 'RANA FROM AZUL! GOES UP TOP FOR THE DIVING HEADBUTT BUT WHIFFS! CORNER KANGAROO KICK FROM ENIGMATICA! COUNTER 'RANA! TWO-COUNT! ANOTHER DIVING HEADBUTT AND IT CONNECTS! SPRINGBOARD 'RANA! TWO-COUNT! RUN UP BODY SPLASH FROM AZUL! 2.9!

1...
2...
3! MAIN CARDRegan O'Reilly vs. Vic Baron:
It's the Atomic Blonde, Regan O'Reilly vs. the Warrior Pro upstart who's been making huge waves in the Royal Destiny tournament, Vic Baron. O'Reilly, though smaller, is taking it to Baron to start with limb work. But Baron comes right back with limb work of his own. Biggg strike exchange as both competitors try to find an advantage here and Baron goes to town on the leg of O'Reilly. Smart, considering her vicious knee strikes. Moorree leg work as Baron starts to take control here. But O'Reilly hits a low dropkick. STRAIGHTJACKET! 2.9! BRIDGING GERMAN! 2.9! BIGGG BACKDROP FROM BARON! LOW-BLOW FROM O'REILLY! COVER! NOT EVEN ONE! OKITE YABURI! SKULL-CRUSHING FINALE STOLEN BY BARON! 1... 2... 2.9! ANOTHER DICK KICK FROM O'REILLY! SCREW SLAM OUT OF NOWHERE CATCHES O'REILLY! 1... 2...3! BARON TAKES IT!
Rude Dudes With 'Tude vs. SPORTS GO SPORTS (Remy Rondelle and Frankie Free Throw):
We've got the Rude Dudes With 'Tude making their comeback to SHTCW:a against the debuting SPORTS GO SPORTS. Early backbreaker from Tommy Buick to Remy Rondelle and he goes for a cocky pin. Rondelle is having none of it, though. FACE RAKES FOR DAYS TO FREE THROW! Buick tags in Callahan. Callahan wants none of this and rolls out, which allows Free Throw to get the tag. Not smart by Callahan, there. SPORTS GO SPORTS is being smart here with constant tags. FANCY PIN FROM FREE THROW! NOT EVEN ONE! In comes Buick. More pin attempts from Free Throw as Rondelle does the YEP chants in the corner. Bedlam on the outside! Buick with a chair and both men crash into it! Tags on both sides. Bodyslam into a splash from Rondelle! Two-count! BUICK CLUBBED ON THE APRON! TWO SPIRIT PUNCH RUSHES IN A ROW FROM RONDELLE! YEP YEP YEP CHANTS! SUPERMAN PUNCH! STRAIGHT RIGHT HOOK INTO A BIG SPLASH! 2.9! AGAIN! STRAIGHT RIGHT WHIFFS! MANHATTAN DROP! LARIAT! 2.9 ON RONDELLE! SLEDEGHAMMER! COOL DROP FROM CALLAHAN! 2.9! BUICK IN! THIS IS BAD FOR RONDELLE! DUCK, DUCK, LARIAT! RONDELLE IS DONE! BUT THERE'S NO TIME FOR DAMAGE TO BE DONE ON FRANKIE! We get a very anticlimactic draw here. The rookies looked—well, like rookies, and the Rude Dudes look like chumps being unable to put them away in this elimination match. A pretty huge dud of a match, to be honest. Alouette vs. Harvey Wolfman (if Wolfman wins, LUCHA CROWN match becomes a triple threat):
These two were all over each other in the lucha crown battle royale and we get to settle this tonight to see if Wolfman get a chance at the LUCHA CROWN and make Alouette's title shot a triple threat match. Alouette is smart to stick and move whilst Wolfman is trying to use his power advantage to his... advantage. Bigggg height on a corner dropkick from Alouette. 'Rana attempt blocked into a powerbomb! One-count! TORNADHOOOOOOOOT DDT! TWISTING SENTON WHIFFS! Biggg diving headbutt from Wolfman! And again! HEADSCISSORS FROM ALOUETTE! STEAL KNUCKLES OUT OF NOWHERE FROM WOLFMAN!
1...
2...
3! HE KNOCKED ALOUETTE OUT! THAT CHEATING SON OF A BITCH HAS MADE IT A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH!
Ms. DDT vs. Fergus Gray:
This is set up as Ms. DDT and Yōkai interfered in the Royal Destiny qualifying match last week and Ms. DDT failed to qualify. DDT is going for early roll-ups, wanting nothing to do with Gray. But Gray is coming back with bigggg suplexes. Dumps her down by grabbing her mask. Big splash! Not even a one. TOP ROPE GERMAN FROM GRAY! SPLASH TO FOLLOW IT UP! TWO-COUNT! BACK SWITCH INTO THE GLORIA! TWO-COUNT! REBOUND THRUST KICK! BLOCKED! ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP FROM GRAY! THRUST KICK! WHEEL KICK! BOTH MISS! GRAY DUMPED TO THE OUTSIDE! BIG SLINGSHOT CROSSBODY! DOUBLE-ARM DDT ON THE INSIDE! 2.9! BIGGG DIVE! SPLASH FROM THE TOP TO FOLLOW! ROPE BREAK! DEEP IMPACT FROM THE TOP! ROPE BREAK! Fallaway Slam from Gray as he wrestles momentum back into his favour. DIVING CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT! MISS! IMMEDIATE TIME BOMB FROM GRAY FOLLOWS IT UP! INTO THE CORNER! CORNER LARRIIAATTT! NO IT MISSES! OVERHEAD LARIAT CONNECTS! DESPERATE SEQUENCE FROM GRAY! 1...
2...
3! GRAY TAKES IT! Yōkai vs. Minerva:
This is another match as a result of the run-ons and we've got the loser of last week's qualifier vs. someone who's trying to get her career back on track in Yōkai. Biggg mounting takedown from Minerva but Yōkai blocks. Minerva has the definite power advantage, though, dragging Yōkai around. But the Evil Spirit has those lethal kicks. MMA takedown from Minerva into a bigggg powerbomb. She sits on Yōkai's face! Not even a one. Diving shoulder but Yōkai ducks! Another big mount from Minerva, though, and she clobbers Yōkai. Yōkai sticks to her plan of legwork, though, hitting a big ground dragon screw. Picture perfect Moonsault from Yōkai! More mount strikes from Minerva! ANOTHER GROUND DRAGON SCREW! EARLY FIGURE EIGHT! Maybe just to really damage Minerva's legs here and not to win it as Minerva gets out pretty easily. Springboard Missle Dropkick! MUTASAULT RIGHT TO THE SMALL OF THE BACK! DIVING CLOTHESLINE ON THE REBOUND FROM MINERVA! OH SNAP! SAYONARA SAYS THE EVIL SPIRIT! BUZZSAW/BLADE KICK! INTO A STANDING MOONSAULT!
1...
2...
3! Yōkai with the win in a match that was going a million miles a minute.
NO LIMITS CHAMPIONSHIP BARBED WIRE DEATHMATCH: No Name vs. BLOOD DRAGON (C):
Eye pokes a go-go from No Name to start off the match here. But Dragon THROWS NO NAME EARLY INTO THE BARBED WIRE ROPES! DRAGON DUMPED ONTO A LIGHT TUBE! TOMAS-APPROVED! TWO MINUTES IN AND DRAGON GETS THE SCYTHE OUT! There's rips all along No Name's back from being whipped into the barbed wire twice now! You can see blood trickling down his back. STRIKE EXCHANGE! BOTH MEN COLLAPSE ONTO THE WOODEN BOARDS! SCYTHE AGAIN AT THIS SIX MINUTE MARK! NO NAME WHIPPED INTO THE WIRE! ROLL-UP FROM DRAGON! TWO-COUNT! MORE SCYTHE! HE CHANGES IT UP WITH THE FORK! AND GOES BACK TO THE SCYTHE! SCYTHE AGAIN! CROSSFACE FROM BLOOD DRAGON! But No Name won't tap! Cover from No Name! Only a one-count! MANDIBLE CLAW! MIST MISSES! BLOOD DRAGON LOCKS IN THE DRAGON SLEEPER! NO NAME WON'T TAP! Dragon is losing so much blood it's caking his chest. It's probably safe to say the same for No Name. STRIKE EXCHANGE! ROLLING ELBOW! 2.9! ROLL-UP! 2.9! BARBED WIRE AGAIN FOR NO NAME! ANOTHER CROSSFACE BUT HE WON'T GIVE! ONE MINUTE UNTIL THE EXPLOSION! NO NAME JUST TRYING TO HOLD ON! DRAGON SCREW! BUT NO NAME CAN'T GET IT BEFORE THE EXPLOSION! BOTH MEN UP IMMEDIATELY AS REFTRON IS DOWN! COMEBACK FOR NO NAME BUT REFTRON IS STILL DOWN! A CHUNK OF WOOD BLASTS BLOOD DRAGON! HE'S OUT? HE'S OUT! NO NAME SOMEHOW SURVIVES, SCORES A CRIT, AND IS THE NEW NO LIMITS CHAMPION!
MAIN EVENT: Champion vs. Champion: Mayday Malone vs. Denji Sonoda III:
The GIANTSLAYER, as Mayday Malone has been dubbed by fans, takes on the 43/142 Puroresu champ, Denji Sonoda for their third match overall. The blood is still staining the mat in this match as Denji goes to work with vicious knees early. Kneebar trying to take out Mayday's base. More legwork as Mayday tries to fight it off with her elbow strikes. Irish whip from Mayday. Ducks twice right into a picture-perfect dropkick. Her technical skill is very much underappreciated. She gets some amazing height on that dropkick. Seven minutes in and we're only getting one counts. Mayday is getting back into this after weathering the early storm of legwork. More vicious knees from Denji, though. GIANT SWING! AIRPLANE SPIN FROM MAYDAY! AIRPLANE TAUNT! SLINGBLAAADDEEE! SCREW NECKBREAKER AS THIS IS GOING A MILLION MILES A MINUTE NOW! TWO-COUNT! KNEEBAR! IS THE DAMAGE DONE? NO! LATCH LOCK! Now trying to work those arms and negate the elbow from Mayday. LATCH LOCK AGAIN! SLINGBLADE! TWO KNEES FROM THE TOP MISS! LEG DROP FROM THE TOP FROM MAYDAY! KNEEBAR! ELBOWS INTO A RUN-UP MISSILE DROPKICK! ELBOWS AGAIN! FOLLOWED UP BY THE SWING FOR THE FENCES! 1... 2... 2.9! TOP ROPE LEG DROP! MAYDAY HAS THE MOMENTUM! TOP ROPE LEG DROP AGAIN! HEEL HOLD! DENJI WANTS THAT LEG! Two spin kicks in a row blocked! SWING FOR THE FENCES! NOT A FULL RUN-UP THOUGH! 2.9! TIME BOMB! TWO-COUNT! ROUND THE BASES BUT DENJI WON'T TAP! FINISHER FRENZY! CORNER KANGAROO KICK! STOMP INTO A KNEEBAR! TRYING TO STEAL IT WITH A BODYSLAM! NOPE! TIME BOMB AGAIN! TWO-COUNT! TOP ROPE RANA! TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP TO FOLLOW! SWINNGGG FOR THE FENCES!

Royal Destiny, Day Four, Five, Six, and Seven ResultsBLOCK ONE, DAY FOUR
Fergus Gray (9 PTS) vs. Nikki Knux (6 PTS): We've got two of the favourites in this tournament squaring off and boy is it a slugfest. Both competitors are going a million miles a minute, with Gray using his size to great advantage. Ten minutes in and it's anyone's match. Bigggg Time Bomb gets a 2.9! Brawl to the outside. Time Bomb on the outside! Knux battles back and goes for Gray's arms. Minoru Special II! He won't tap. Armbar! Won't tap! Head Pickup Lariat out of nowhere! 2.9! TORNADO REVERSE CHICKENWING HOLD FROM THE CORNER! GRAY TAPS AND KNUX HAS TIED HIM IN POINTS! SHE'S IN THIS NOW! Regan O'Reilly (9 PTS) vs. "Dastardly" Darrik Davies (0 PTS): At this point Davies isn't trying to win the tournament. He's mathematically eliminated, basically. He could still play spoiler, though. And surprise, surprise. Fyfe Donnelly has joined Regan at ringside. Plenty of early pin attempts from these two as they just want this over with fast, but it's only leading to one-counts. O'Reilly finds herself in a groove, though, nailing the Original Shining Wizard and locking in the O'Reilly Lock. Davies won't tap, though! Second time! He still won't tap! THIRD TIME'S A CHARM AFTER SHE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE! El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS) vs. Bronson Fury (0 PTS): This match is solely for pride as both of these men are eliminated mathematically from the tournament, basically. This is ALL Fury after an early flurry from Fantastico. He just ragdolls Fantastico with throws after a mount and punches that bust Fantastico open and wears him down until he locks in a Bow and Arrow Hold and gets the shocking, seemingly early win. Fyfe Donnelly (6 PTS) vs. Bobby Donnelly (3 PTS): Though Bobby isn't eliminated yet things aren't looking good for him. If he can beat Fyfe that may be able to turn things around. Not only that, he wants revenge against his son. And what a match it is! We've got some great counter, catch-as-catch-can style wrestling to start off the match mixed in with some hard, personal strikes from Bobby. Everything breaks down eventually as Bobby gets a mount in and just pummels his son, busting Fyfe open. This awakens some definite rage in Fyfe, though. Dodonce's Throne! 2.9! Another one and he seals the victory, getting up and giving his dad the middle finger and calling him a moron at the end of the match! This feud definitely isn't over, though. BLOCK TWO, DAY FOUR Baron Von Brainbuster (0 PTS) vs. Vic Baron (6 PTS): Brainbuster can't get into the finals here, really, but he can certainly play spoiler. It's all Brainbuster to start the match but one big suplex and Vic is on the prowl. He's trying to work Brainbuster's legs to start but once he starts dumping Brainbuster on his head, he's focusing on the crossface. He's locking it in over and over but Brainbuster just won't tap. So Baron has to improvise and catches Brainbuster with a roll-up for the three-count! Brainbuster's most competitive match for sure in what was a pretty damned close one. Marcel Müller (3 PTS) vs. Yōkai (6 PTS): We've got two submission specialists here with Marcel having an outside chance to make it and Yōkai can really claim a spot as her own. This is all Marcel to start as he's throwing around the Evil Spirit, getting close chances with Bridging Germans. He transitions into wearing down Yōkai's arms, but she fights back with stiff kicks. OKITE YABURI! MARCEL BREAKS OUT A TWISTING MOONSAULT! BUT IT'S IN THE ROPES! SAY-O-NARA! BUZZSAW KICK! 2.9! MIST INTO MARCEL'S EYES! RIGHT INTO THE FIGURE EIGHT LEG LOCK! BUT HE WON'T TAP! BUZZSAW KICK AGAAAIINNN! THREE-COUNT! SHE ENDURES THE EARLY PUNISHMENT FROM MARCEL, AND SECURES THREE POINTS! Kemper Tierney (4 PTS) vs. Will Craddock (9 PTS): Kemper is in desperation mode here, as she NEEDS this win, and she needs to hope CJ Fresh doesn't win after this. Meanwhile, Craddock has basically secured his spot in the quarters early on. DAMN! And Craddock is out to prove something tonight against a former SHTCW:a World Champ. It is all Welsh Wrecking Ball after an early flurry from Kemper. He is just breaking her down with well-placed kicks to her lower legs. He then switches focus to her neck, hitting a bigggg devastating Ushi Goroshi to a springboard knee into a Shadow over Innsmouth (Chickenwing Suplex). Brawl on the outside and they get back in at 16. DEATH STAR DESTROYER OUT OF NOWHERE! 2.9! It's still all Craddock's match, though. Another Shadow over Innsmouth into the Cardiff City Special! The Dragon Sleeper seals the victory for Craddock. Shou Saito (0 PTS) vs. CJ Fresh (7 PTS): Shou could play spoiler here as CJ needs this win. It's all Shou in the early going, just planting CJ with hard strikes and suplexes. A Moonsault Foot Stomp into a Coup de Grace combo gets a two-count! He goes for it again! 2.9! Brawl to the outside! Shou brings in a chair. They both roll back in... CJ CATCHES SHOU! FRESH DROP! TO THE OUTSIDE! ANOTHER FOOT STOMP TO COUP DE GRACE! 2.9! AGAIN! THIS TIME IT'S OVER! SHOU HAS BEAT CJ AND THINGS ARE WIDE OPEN NOW! BLOCK ONE, DAY FIVE
Fergus Gray (9 PTS) vs. Fyfe Donnelly (9 PTS): This is ALL Fergus to start as the Big Gray Guy is just bulldozing Donnelly. Donnelly tries to even it up with a chair, but he's getting the worst of it. Dumped on his head onto it. Head Pickup Lariat! 2.9! Dumped onto the chair again before the 10:00 mark. Another Head Pickup Lariat! 2.9! KARMA! 2.9! OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! 2.9! PICKUP LARIAT AGAIN! 2.9! WHAT IS FYFE MADE OUT OF! TIME BOMB BUT GRAY IS TOO GASSED TO CAPITALIZE! BRIDGING GERMAN FOR FYFE! ROPE BREAK! DRAGON WHIP INTO A ROLL-UP! 2.9! FFF INTO THE DONNELLY DEATHGRIP BUT GRAY WON'T TAP! TIME BOMB! 2.9! FFF INTO THE DEATHGRIP AGAIN! NO TAP! BACK PILEDRIVER! 3-COUNT! FYFE SURVIVES! Bronson Fury (3 PTS) vs. "Dastardly" Darrik Davies (0 PTS): A shocking result here, as Davies sticks and moves, and uses as many underhanded tactics as he possibly can before he finally locks up Fury like a pretzel and gets the tap via the Dastardly Lock. Regan O'Reilly (12 PTS) vs. Nikki Knux (9 PTS): Smartly, Regan is focusing on the arms and elbows of Nikki, whilst Nikki seems to just be patiently waiting for Regan to make a mistake. Regan's at ten minutes and still only getting one counts as she's getting increasingly frustrated that the limbwork doesn't really seem to be having much effect, especially after a O'Reilly Lock doesn't spell the end. And this is the opening Knux needs. She zeroes in on O'Reilly and mounts her, unleashing a flurry of punches. It's all Knux from there and she ends it with a bigggg springboard forearm to get her 12 points, making these next few days quite interesting. El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS) vs. Bobby Donnelly (3 PTS): This is pure class from Donnelly here. He endures a Nightmare from Fantastico, but other than that, it's all Donnelly with limbwork and plenty of strikes until he gets into some big ol' piledrivers for a 2.9. And then, he goes old school, bringing back the Bobby Donnelly of the '80s, finishing off the match with a throwback Super Diving Headbutt and securing the win. BLOCK TWO, DAY FIVE: Baron Von Brainbuster (0 PTS) vs. Kemper Tierney (4 PTS): A devastating result here for Kemper, as this may kill her chances at getting into the semis. It was ALL Brainbuster as he seemed to just get in Kemper's head and throw her off her game. Brainbusters a-plenty in this match as Kemper tried to come back with roll-ups and get her momentum going but it was squashed and she took the pinfall on a Delayed Brainbuster. Marcel Müller (3 PTS) vs. Vic Baron (9 PTS): Marcel NEEDS this and Vic needs it to just maintain his place in the tournament and virtually guarantee a spot in the quarters. It's a hard-hitting, desperate match, and Marcel is caught with an errant elbow, busted WIDE open. He's eating suplexes, now. Screw Slam gets a 2.9! He's coming back with armwork though! Bigggg German sends Baron halfway across the ring. Marcel shoots Vic into the corner... O'CONNOR ROLL GERMAN! 2.9! ROLL-UP RIGHT AFTER THAT! 2.9! TILT-A-WHIRL ARMBREAKER! ARMBAR! BUT HE WON'T TAP! HIGH FLY FLOW! AAARRRMBAAARR! MARCEL WINS AND MAYBE IT ISN'T OVER FOR HIM! Shou Saito (3 PTS) vs. Will Craddock (12 PTS): This was a god-damned WAR. Both men had something to prove. Saito needed to change things up considering his horrible showing so far and Craddock wanted to continue his run. Both men came out swinging with HUGE strikes and that carried on until about the 12 minute mark when Craddock looked to be done playing around, hitting the Death Star Destroyer. 2.9! Saito followed it up with a Moonsault Foot Stomp into Coup de Grace combo but it was a rope break. Action spilled to the outside and Craddock got nasty, dumping Saito on his head on the mats with ANOTHER Death Star Destroyer. The two continued trading strikes but that DSD on the outside throw Saito for a loop. He fell victim to a nasty set of elbows from the Final Rolling Elbow and Craddock locked in the Cardiff City Special for the win. CJ Fresh (7 PTS) vs. Yōkai (9 PTS): Speaking of wars! This was a doozee. Both competitors specialize in strikes and it showed as they just kicked the shit out of each other for ten minutes. Just trading huge blows back and forth until Yōkai spit mist into CJ's eyes. She followed up by biting his face and this really spelled the end for CJ. He fought on valiantly, dumping Yōkai to the outside and hitting a colossal Fresh Drop outside before Yōkai got back in at 18. She rolled right into another Fresh Drop, though! 2.9! From there Yōkai misted CJ again, worked over the legs, and finally secured the hard-fought victory with the Figure Eight Leg Lock. CJ's tournament could be slipping away here. BLOCK ONE, DAY SIX:Fergus Gray (9 PTS) vs. Regan O'Reilly (12 PTS): Of course Fyfe is out here for this match that could have big implications on the quarters. Regan is smartly working the legs of Gray whilst Gray is just being the battering ram he is. The match is pretty even, though, all things considered. Ref bump! O'Reilly has the Torture Boston Crab/Walls of Jericho locked in but the ref is still down! OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! REF IS STILL DOWN! O'REILLY LOCK! REF STILL DOWN! It spills to the outside! TIME BOMB ON O'REILLY! FYFE GETS INVOLVED, HITTING THE FFF ON GRAY! WALLS OF JERICHO! NO TAP! OKITE YABURI! SKULL-CRUSHING FINALE STOLEN! 2.9! CATTLE MUTILATION! IN THE ROPES! AGAIN, BUT TIME EXPIRES JUST BEFORE GRAY IS ABOUT TO TAP! Bronson Fury (3 PTS) vs. Fyfe Donnely (12 PTS): We've got a big bad MMA dude vs. a catch-as-catch-can specialist and it shows. Bronson is trying to dominate Fyfe, take him down, and beat down on him, but Fyfe is using his counter abilities to amazing effect. It's all Fyfe as he just overwhelms Fury with holds that tie the Brighton Beast up into knots and he ends it with the FFF into a Donnelly Deathgrip. Nikki Knux (12 PTS) vs. Bobby Donnelly (6 PTS): Limbwork a-go-go in this match! It's going a million miles a minute, but it's all amazing counters and limbwork. Knux has the slight advantage due to her conditioning but Donnelly is hanging in tough as both go for mounts and just clobber one another. Amazing sequence as Knux hits the corner Chickenwing, then clobbers Donnelly and hits the Strangle Hold Alpha, and an armbar, but Donnelly won't give in. Another Strangle Hold Alpha and Donnelly finally has to tap! The rating didn't do this match justice. It was very solid, but once the effects of the gruelling tournament caught up with Donnelly his stamina was shot and it was all Knux from there.
"Dastardly" Darrik Davies (3 PTS) vs. El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS): Constant roll-ups, constant low-blows, constant trolling. This had "comedy match" written all over it for the first bit, until Davies had enough playing around and hit the Facebuster into the Dastardly Lock. He surprisingly couldn't get the tap out, though. Fantastico missed with a burst of fire, and Davies planted him before locking in the Dastardly Lock again for the win. BLOCK TWO, DAY SIX:Baron Von Brainbuster (0 PTS) vs. Shou Saito (3 PTS): Saito had a point to prove here, again. He DESPERATELY needed these points. He clobbered Brainbuster from the start of the match with huge elbows and knees, getting a close count off a Shining Wizard barely seven minutes into the match. The punishment continued with, funny enough, Piledriver after Piledriver. The action spilled to the outside and Brainbuster got desperate with a chair, seeming to swing momentum back in his favour. He whipped Saito into the corner, setting up the Ultimate Brainbuster, but Saito reversed, whipping Brainbuster into the corner and setting up for a ginormous Avalanche Tombstone Piledriver that spelled the end for Brainbuster. Marcel Müller (3 PTS) vs. Kemper Tierney (4 PTS): This was a god-damned war. Kemper smartly worked Marcel's legs, trying to negate the DAS BOOT, whilst Marcel just ragdolled Kemper with Germans. It was a strikefest to boot, too. Kemper introduced a chair early and walloped the Stuttgart Submission Machine before she had to keep powering out of armbars. Marcel went for the Das Boot from the top rope, missing wildly and landing on his foot awkwardly as he came down. Kemper took advantage, locking in the Sickle Lock. It couldn't get the win, but it did the damage, as she then smartly locked in an Achilles Hold and took the win, bumping her up to be tied with CJ Fresh. Vic Baron (9 PTS) vs. Yōkai (9 PTS): Legwork vs. suplexes in this one and it is exactly what you expect. The Evil Spirit is taking it to Baron's legs but he's able to fight it off enough and keep a sturdy base to throw Yōkai around. They're to the outside and Yōkai gets a chair. She eats a bunch of suplexes until finally a Cross Arm Suplex plants her right on the chair and she can't get up from it. Baron gets a much-needed win. CJ Fresh (7 PTS) vs. Will Craddock (12 PTS): Desperation is DEFINITELY in the air tonight for Fresh. He comes out like a house on fire, just blasting Craddock and taking early control. He's all over Craddock with strikes and at the 7:00 mark he's OVER. He's done with it. FRESH DROP! TWO-COUNT! ANOTHER ONE RIGHT AFTER THAT! TWO-COUNT AGAIN! Ushi Goroshis from both men! Shadow Over Innsmouth into the Cardiff City Special, but Fresh won't tap! TRADING USHI GOROSHIS AGAIN! 630 SENTON INTO A MOONSAULT! ROPE BREAK! KENTA RUSH INTO THE SUPERMAN PUNCH! ROPE BREAK! 630 SENTON AGAIN! PIN! THREE-COUNT! This is catastrophic for Fresh. BLOCK ONE, FINAL DAY:Fergus Gray (10 PTS) vs. Bobby Donnelly (6 PTS): Power vs. intelligence here and Gray is out to hurt Donnelly. Donnelly, smartly, though, is countering everything, and that is, really, the crux of the match. Gray can't get a sustained bit of momentum going and he's just getting countered over and over until Donnelly finally locks in the Rolling Arm Lock, wrenching until Gray has to tap. Bronson Fury (3 PTS) vs. Regan O'Reilly (13 PTS): Fury is mathematically eliminated but he could try to play spoiler here and keep O'Reilly from winning the group. He's got the power advantage and knows how to use it, clobbering O'Reilly with mounts and punches, then ragdolling her around. She's trying to just find an opening with constant, but not too effective limbwork. She's busted open and Fyfe tries to get involved, but eats a straight right for it! Canadian Facebuster into the pin and Fury wins it, if only for pride! Fyfe Donnelly (15 PTS) vs. El Gringo Fantastico (0 PTS): DOMINATION! This was never even close. Fyfe was just toying with Fantastico, working over his limbs until he seemed to just get bored and decide to put away Fantastico. One Dodonce's Throne wasn't enough, but a second spelled the end for Fantastico, shutting him out in the tourney. Nikki Knux (15 PTS) vs. "Dastardly" Darrik Davies (6 PTS): STRIKES FOR DAYS! Not to be outdone by Fyfe Donnelly, Nikki Knux had a point to prove. Even if she won, she'd technically still be second place due to Fyfe beating her earlier in the tournament, but she wanted to go out on a win. She utilized her striking ability and MMA background to just meticulously pick Davies apart. She got Davies in a clinch and just obliterated his face with knees, busting him open right above the eye, and seemingly swelling it. RAINMAKER INTO THE STRANGLE HOLD ALPHA! DAVIES WON'T TAP! MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT! IN THE ROPES! RAINMAKER INTO THE STRANGLE HOLD ALPHA AGAIN! OVER! Davies is bleeding buckets, his eye practically swollen shut. BLOCK TWO, FINAL DAY:Baron Von Brainbuster (0 PTS) vs. Marcel Müller (3 PTS): Marcel needs this win for pride at this point. And he comes out with ARM WORK! Right from the go he is just grinding down Brainbuster, not letting him breathe before the Stuttgart Submission Machine transitions into, well, throws. Bigggg Germans get some close counts and he steps it up into overdrive, going a million miles a minute before hitting the spot he couldn't yesterday! Bigggg Top Rope DAS BOOT! It's over! Brainbuster is shut out for the tournament. Kemper Tierney (7 PTS) vs. Shou Saito (6 PTS): This is a huge match here as depending on who takes this and more matches down the line, the final quarter finals spot could belong to the winner of this match. Saito is on a tear! He's just beating up on Tierney with big strikes as she tries to counter, but can't get anything going. Dangerous low fierce kick into a Sickle Hold! Saito won't tap! Shining Wizard! 2.9! OKITE YABURI! SHINING WIZARD OF HER OWN FROM TIERNEY! 2.9! OKITE YABURI RIGHT BACK! WHAAAATTTT? SAITO STEALS THE PUMP HANDLE DRIVER AND GETS THE THREE-COUNT! HE'S IN IF BARON TAKES THE NEXT MATCH. Vic Baron (12 PTS) vs. CJ Fresh (7 PTS): Vic Baron is in already whilst CJ Fresh is on the bubble here. After a late tournament flurry, Shou Saito sits at 9 points, whilst Yōkai sits at 9 going into her match with Will Craddock. It's all on the line for Fresh, who comes out of the gate desperate and fighting hard. Biggg kicks have him with the early advantage but Baron is able to stay in it with well-timed, big throws and backdrops. FRESH DROP! ROPE BREAK! CROSS ARM SUPLEX! 2.9! AGAIN! 2.9! CROSSFACE OUT OF THE IRISH WHIP! ROPE BREAK! REF BUMP! CROSSFACE BUT CJ WON'T TAP! FRESH DROP BUT IT'S TO THE OUTSIDE! DRAGON SUPLEX INTO THE CROSSFACE! ROPE BREAK! SCREW SLAM! 2.9! CJ DANCES! RUN-UP MOONSAULT! ROPE BREAK! CROSS ARM SUPLEX! 2.9! WHOAAAAA! OKITE YABURI! BARON HITS THE FRESH DROP AND DUMPS CJ TO THE OUTSIDE! FRESH DROP OF HIS OWN FROM CJ! THREE-COUNT! CJ SAVES HIMSELF AND GETS IN! Due to her earlier win against Shou Saito, Yōkai is in as the fourth spot, but she wants to win the next match and finish third. Will Craddock (18 PTS) vs. Yōkai (9 PTS): It comes down to this. Both competitors are in but Yōkai wants to move up a spot. This is an absolute SLUGFEST early as Craddock blasts Yōkai with elbows and she hits back with kicks. She brings a chair into the mix and blasts Craddock with it. He's fighting back with elbows, with bigggg suplexes. Bite and Craddock is bleeding! Outside brawl! Yōkai grabs a wooden board now! Hits Craddock! Bite again! BUZZSAW KICK! TWO-COUNT! AGAIN! 2.9! MORE BITES! SHE LOCKS IN THE FIGURE EIGHT! CRADDOCK IS IN THE ROPES? NO! THE REF CALLS IT WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE HE DIDN'T TAP! BUT NONE THE LESS IT'S NOT A CLEAN SWEEP FOR CRADDOCK ON THAT BIT OF CONTROVERSY! Royal Destiny Final Standings:
BLOCK ONE: QUARTERFINALISTS Fyfe Donnelly: 18 PTS (holds the tiebreaker over Nikki Knux) Nikki Knux: 18 PTS Regan O'Reilly: 13 PTS Fergus Gray: 10 PTS ELIMINATED Bobby Donnelly: 9 PTS "Dastardly" Darrik Davies: 6 PTS (holds the tiebreaker over Bronson Fury) El Gringo Fantastico: 0 PTS

Man what a tournament. Would have loved to see more of these matches live, but the write-ups were fun to follow as well... In block A it seems like destiny (pun intended) that Fyfe and Nikki square off to claim the block. I figured Fergus would fair better so there is always a chance the big man could play spoiler as well...
In block B, a Baron/Craddock rematch is my selfish wish, but CJ Fresh cannot be counted out- and with 2 straight wins he obviously has Vic's number. And, really, we're all just playing in Will Craddock's world. It's gonna take a perfect effort to pull off an upset given how on fire he's looked.
