Yoshi Tayaki: "This tournament, has been one of the more undignified moments of my career. Im a thousand times better than what ive shown. Im better than this roster, im better than that bastard Lefty!!! And i still cant fucking win!! This tournament has been a nightmare for me and my earning status, but ive woken up. I was asleep and im awaken from pain and embarassment. My eyes are wide open at every humiliation and degardation ive gone through in this company. But the best news is theres a light at the end of the tunnel: after this tournament Im done at WPW. I can leave with my head held fucking high!! And be done with this bullshit. Fuck all of the fans and losers who support this inferior company!! Consider this my decleration of resignation!!! #FreeAtLast

Week 3 Block B RESULTS The show opens with highlights from last night’s A block action…Yoshi Tayaki vs Johnny ThrowbackRecap: Brutal carnage, both men were bloodied- Yoshi seemed more interested in hurting Throwback than actually wrestling. That eventually became his undoing as a miss timed chair shot whiffed and gave Throwback the opening to hit a Smiths Special in the middle of the ring for the pin fall.
Winner: Johnny Throwback Rating: *** Suddenly, the crowd is startled by the sudden blaring of some sultry saxophone music and two absurdly muscular men, both glistening under generous applications of baby oil, come sauntering to the ring. One of the men grabs a microphone while the other strolls around the ring, climbing turnbuckles and flexing incessantly at the crowd while winking at any female fans he can find.Brick vs Doc WyattRecap: Brick came out on fire, hitting 2 Brick Walls- determined to end this quick and early. But Doc survived to storm- barely- and slowly started to wear down the big man. But nothing he did seemed to keep him down. Eventually it took his patented brass knuckles, which split Brick wide open, to finish the job.
Winner: Doc Wyatt Rating: ****
After the match, Doc celebrates on each ring post while Brick is checked by medics for a concussion. When Doc is finished, he comes over and offers to shake Bricks hand. Brick stares at the hand, then shoves Doc to the ground before exiting the ring, as a confused Doc looks on… Lobo Muerte vs Vic Baron
Recap: A hellova fight that saw both men kicking out of each others finishers, only to end in wild fashion as Lobo would again finish with a shocking roll up, both continuing his streak and officially eliminating Baron from the tournament.
Winner: Lobo Muerte Rating: **** Standings after tonight's matches...

Awwwwwwwwww shucky ducky let's go. Johnny vs. Yoshi was something, wasn't it? The crowd chanting "Boring!": buncha unrefined swine. The back switch into the release German to the outside only for Yoshi to no-sell and get a barbed wire bat was pretty awesome. Cool spot seeing Yoshi whiff on the Frog Splash and Throwback go for the chair rather than Yoshi. Nice little character moment there. Desperation Angle Slam to the outside was pretty awesome, too. Overall the match was alright. Johnny looks tough for bleeding like a stuffed pig, but he also didn't have to worry too much about pins, it seemed, so that really saved his ass probably. Yoshi looks good for enduring some solid opening limbwork and then a fuckton of throws all over the place. Of course I'm biased but yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Beef and Brad. Love Dan's characterization of Brad. Brick and Wyatt. LET'S GO! Loved the story of this match. Brick is underestimated, utilizes his strengths of trying to end the match early, and Doc stays true to his words of proving he's not all hype by withstanding the punishment. And Brick's lack of conditioning catches up to him as Wyatt is able to weather the initial storm. All really fun, solid storytelling in this match, which is the sign of great edits when you can get solid "storytelling"-style matches from a bunch of ones and zeroes and RNG. And to top it all off, Wyatt had to cheat with the brass knucks, making Brick look like a million bucks even in defeat. He bloodies him on top of it, too! Perfect. I DEFINITELY want to see these two go at it more, and quite obviously this is just the start of hopefully some big stuff between them. Really, really stoked to see where this all keeps going. Poor Vic, man. A god-damned MOTN machine and he's still fallen into a horrible hole in this tourney. Lobo's name is made from this tournament, though. Even if he loses out for the rest of the tourney, he is the god-damned star of the touney. Him, and even in his losing efforts, Winters are the MVPs of the tourney. This is why I love tourneys sometimes: you get a lot of really awesome interpersonal stories and it's a fantastic way to really solidify someone's name. This was a technical showcase and hella fun to watch. And it REALLY picked up the pace towards the end. Rad stuff. Not to mention Lobo just looks like a crafty, smart motherfucker whilst also arguably maybe getting a bit lucky, which adds some interesting and cool wrinkles to his story throughout the tournament. Meanwhile Vic's arc over this tournament is hella interesting, too. And he looks like a jobbed out bitch whilst simultaneously looking screwed over/unlucky . It's really fun stuff. This was my MOTN, but Brick and Wyatt was pretty damned fantastic stuff too.

G2 Week Four Preview Current Tournament Standings With only two weeks left to determine the bock winners, the Golden Gate Tournament enters a crucial round where at least half the field could be eliminated from contention, and in some cases a Block winner may be determined a week early. Outside the competition itself, there continues to be tension among the Jackson Hole Outlaws, where both Brick and Doc Wyatt seem to continue to show signs of strain trying to chase surprising block leader Lobo Muerte. Can the Mexican sensation continue his dominate streak? Will John Logan remain undefeated in his block? Tune in tomorrow to find out… Week Four action kicks off with A Block on Thursday, and B Block on Friday. Check back for full results…Match Previews: BLOCK ADirk van Oranje vs Salvador SosaBoth men, touted as potential block winners when the tournament was announced, sit in a do or die situation. With just two matches left and sitting at 1-2, a win will keep alive the slimmest of hopes while a loss will eliminate that man from the tournament. Because of that, expect this one to be an all-out war from start to finish, and could be MotN. John Logan vs Roy CarterA first-time meeting between these two, Roy will need a win to stay alive while Logan can eliminate everyone but Kevin Royce with a win. This one carries some history as John Logan has yet to beat anyone from the Jackson Hole Outlaws in a singles match, a streak Roy Carter would like to maintain. Kevin Royce vs Markus WinterIs this the week that Markus Winter finally breaks through for a victory? Seems unlikely, given how dominant Royce has looked in this tournament. Royce will need a win to keep pace with John Logan and set up a winner take all next week, while Winter could play spoiler and potentially gift Logan the entire block with the upset (and a Logan win). BLOCK BVic Baron vs BrickFor the second consecutive year Vic Baron has disappointed in the tournament- but there might be a silver lining this week. A Baron win would all but eliminate Brick from the block, and further strain the group given how Brick lost last week. But a Brick win would keep his chances alive, and he could even end up atop the standings if the other two matches play out just right… Doc Wyatt vs Yoshi TayakiA rematch of their championship fight from Badlands, expect buckets of blood in this one. Doc survived the onslaught in their first match, but the AAW vet has literally nothing to lose here, given he was eliminated last week and his declaration of quitting the company. This is a dangerous match for the champ- a win keeps him in contention for the top spot but a loss would all but eliminate him. Johnny Throwback vs Lobo MuerteA matchup of two outside talents that arguably are vying for MVP of the tournament. This match might end up determining the entire block- a win for Lobo and losses to Brick and Doc would seal the top spot for Lobo. A Throwback win would give him the inside track to sealing up B block next week. Who can impose their style of match could very well determine who’s getting their hand raised in the end. A promo was posted on WPW.com…Standing inside the Training Grounds facility, Brick and Roy Carter look like they’ve just completed a workout. Both men stand front of the camera, Brick with a menacing look and arms folded as Roy begins to talk

Week 4 Block A RESULTS The show opens with highlights from the last weeks block action, along with advertisement that Doc Wyatt will be challenging for the TIPWF Lone Star Heavyweight Championship against Cowboy Johnston tomorrow nightDirk van Oranje vs Salvador SosaRecap: With both of their tournaments on the line, neither man held anything back. The match had great back and forth with Sosa kicking out of two G2S, followed by Dirk kicking out of a Swanton- before Sosa was finally put down with a cutter.
Winner: Dirk van Oranje Rating: **** John Logan vs Roy CarterRecap: In their first ever meeting, Roy needed a win to stay alive in the tournament. Roy fought hard but Logan seemed to be in control of the match from bell to bell. After kicking out of the Logans Run, Carter did briefly trap Logan in the armbar- but Logan was able to get to the ropes, and another Logans Run was too much to overcome. This win eliminates everyone by Kevin Royce from the competition.
Winner: John Logan Rating: *** Kevin Royce vs Markus WinterRecap: Royce headed into the main event needing a win to force a block showdown next week. This one started off fast, as Kevin Royce wasted no time immediately tracking weapons into the ring, looking to put the rookie away early. But Winter was able to fend off the attack, and caught Royce off guard with a Winter is Coming out of nowhere that knocked Royce out cold just under 9 minutes into the match, giving the rookie a shocking upset victory. This win clinched the block for John Logan a week early…
Winner: Markus Winter Rating: ****
After the match doctors tended to Royce, who eventually came to and left the ring on his own power… Standings after tonight's matches...

Week 4 Block B RESULTS Before the show kicks off Wonderland appears and enters the ring- presumably to respond to Austin Baron's challenge from last week. The ring announcer offers him a microphone, which he curiously declines. Circling around the ring with a giant smile on his face, Wonderland instructs the cameraman to zoom in close as he settles in the middle of the ring. He then turns around, drops his pants to reveal a giant "O" painted on one cheek, and a "K" painted on the other. Stepping out of his pants Wonderland proceeds to walk to the back as the crowd looks on, confused...Vic Baron vs BrickRecap: Brick bloodied and brutalized Vic, rag dolling him around the ring including a chokeslam and grenade on the floor. Vic seemed to take the punishment in an attempt to grab an opening for his Killa Crossface, but the big man never gave him one. In the end though, Brick curiously attempted to take Vic up top, and a counter into a thunderous powerbomb from the top rope sealed the deal, allowing Vic to play spoiler and greatly reduce Bricks chance at the block. Winner: Vic Baron Rating: *** Doc Wyatt vs Yoshi TayakiRecap: A rematch from their title fight last month, this match went down much different from their first encounter. Yoshi brutalized Doc from the beginning, keeping the champ off guard and bloodying him early. Doc tried to fight back, but a code breaker in the middle of the ring was too much to overcome.
Winner: Yoshi Tayaki Rating: ***
After the match, as a shocked Doc was seen getting medical attention in the ring, Brick appeared at the entrance ramp, laughing as a confused Doc looked on… Johnny Throwback vs Lobo MuerteRecap: Easily the match of the night. This was a fast paced, back and forth match as Lobo looked to follow John Logan and finish off the block a week early. Problem is, no one told Johnny Throwback- who hung with the luchador the whole way, and turned the match in his favor with back to back Smith Specials on the outside, followed by a flying head butt inside the ring for the shocking win that not only gives Lobo Muerte his first loss, but also shoots Throwback to the top of the B block standings with one week to go…
Winner: Johnny Throwback Rating: **** Standings after tonight's matches...

G2 FINAL WEEK Preview Current Tournament Standings The last week of the second annual Golden Gate Tournament takes place this week, with tons of exciting action to finish off each block. Last week, John Logan finished off the A block- meaning these matches are purely for pride. However over in B block, the race is still wide open for half of the participants. Here is the breakdown of B block scenarios: If Johnny Throwback wins, he will win the block (due to his tiebreaker win over Lobo Muerte). If Throwback loses, and Lobo Muerte wins- Lobo will win the block outright. If Lobo loses and Doc beats Throwback, Doc Wyatt wins the block (due to tiebreaker wins over Brick and Throwback outnumbering anyone else’s tiebreaker wins) The Tournament Finals show has an official date. The show will be broadcast LIVE on Twitch Thursday June 6th at 5:50 PST. Official matches as of today:
Warrior Pro Tag Team Championship: Beef and Brad vs Jackson Hole Outlaws 6 Man Tag Match: Wonderland Dojo vs Baron Wrestling School G2 Finals: A Block Winner vs B Block Winner
More matches to be announced next week…The FINAL WEEK of action kicks off with A Block on Thursday, and B Block on Friday. Check back for full results.Match Previews: BLOCK ARoy Carter vs Dirk van OranjeAfter a slow start, Dirk has pieced together consecutive wins. Meanwhile Roy Carter’s performance has cooled after a hot start. The winner of this match will be forced to play the “what if” game, since a win over John Logan would have given them the block win… Markus Winter vs Salvador SosaBoth men have had arguably the most entertaining matches in the tournament, and this match could steal the night. Two wins over impressive outside talent would officially stamp Markus Winter as a rising star, while a win by Sosa would salvage what must be a disappointing tournament record. Kevin Royce vs John LoganLast week this looked like a potential 1:1 match for the whole Block, but a shocking upset means Kevin Royce is regulated to try and do the one thing no one has been able to do in this tournament- pin John Logan. A win for Logan will make it two straight years of undefeated block matches, and a ton of momentum heading into the finals. BLOCK BVic Baron vs Yoshi TayakiThe only B block match without any tournament implications, this one is all for pride. Both men will be fighting to stay out of last place in the block, as Vic tries to build momentum heading out of the tournament. Vic has handled himself well in the past with the hardcore style, but Yoshi- who has made public his plans to leave the company following this tournament- will surely be fighting with nothing to lose. Lobo Muerte vs BrickLobo will need a win to hang onto any hope of completing his improbable run as a block winner. But standing in his way is a very pissed off 7 foot monster in Brick. Ironically, a win by Brick could keep alive any chances Doc Wyatt has at the block, a fact that has to anger the big man even more. Expect the man that can dictate the pace of the match to have the best odds at claiming victory. Doc Wyatt vs Johnny ThrowbackDepending on how the above two matches play out, this match could be for the block, and it could be a classic. Throwback has been impressive this whole tournament, while last year’s tournament winner has again weaseled his way into a real shot at winning the block. This match should be a brawl- and should be a candidate for match of the tournament.

FINAL WEEK Block A RESULTS The show starts out with highlights from all of A block action- specifically John Logan matches- including the controvertial ending to his match with Dirk that included interference from Rampage- concluding with a graphic showing him as the A Block winner…Roy Carter vs Dirk van OranjeRecap: Tons of striking in this one, as both men turned this into something of a shoot style match, exchanging blows and working submissions. In the end, a devastating knee to the face finished off Roy Carter.
Winner: Dirk Rating: *** Markus Winter vs Salvador SosaRecap: Two of the hardest workers in the tournament put on a show for folks. Tons of near falls, and Winter looked to have it late, but the leader of the Rudo Army eventually hit an Emerald Fusion to finish the tournament with another win.
Winner: Sosa Rating **** Kevin Royce vs John LoganRecap: Royce started off looking like that drop on his head from last week was still bothering him, but after getting hit with back to back lariats from Logan, the deathmatch in him woke up. He busted Logan wide open and brutalized the A Block winner, to the point that it looked like Logan might pass out. But Logan, as he has all tournament, weathered the storm and a piledriver into a punching lariat finished off his perfect tournament.
Winner: Logan Rating: *** Standings after tonight's matches...

FINAL WEEK Block B RESULTS The show kicks off showing the standings and a recap of the scenarios for winning the block. Throwback wins and he’s in. He loses and Lobo wins, Lobo is in. Both lose and Doc wins, Doc is the winner. Vic Baron vs Yoshi TayakiRecap: Yoshi surprisingly looked to be trying to play this one straight up for once, but he chose the wrong opponent for this new strategy. For the second straight year Vic seemed to be finding his momentum in the tournament too late, pulling this one out after a small package caught Yoshi off guard.
Winner: Vic Baron Rating: ***
After the match, Yoshi rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair- and while Vic celebrates- Yoshi connects with a thunderous chair shot that immediately knocks Vic out cold. Yoshi proceeds the put the boots to Vic until security drags him off of Baron’s unconscious body. Medical personnel attend to Vic who does appear to regain consciousness, though he is eventually taken out on a stretcher… Lobo Muerte vs BrickRecap: Lobo threw absolutely everything at Brick, but as he’s done all tournament, the big man just kept. On. Coming. If anything, Brick seemed to be playing a bit of rope a dope with the young lucha, and a powerful Brick Wall not only cost Lobo the match, but also his chance at the Block.
Winner: Brick Rating: **** Johnny Throwback vs Doc WyattRecap: The closeout match may have arguably been its best. An old fashion slug fest to determine the B Block winner, Doc pulled out all his dirty tricks in this one, and it looked like Throwback had answer for all of them. Just when it seemed like Johnny just might pull off the upset, Doc pulled out the brass knuckles and BAM, for the second straight year Doc wins his Block via tie breaker, and again under questionable circumstances.
Winner: Doc Wyatt Rating: *****
After the match, John Logan comes out and the two block winners stare each other down…. Until Roy Carter sneaks into the ring from the crowd and attacks Logan from behind, as both he and Doc double team the A block winner. Suddenly Brick appears and gets in the ring….. and pulls Roy Carter off of Logan- standing face to face with a shocked and irritated Doc Wyatt.
Wyatt and Carter, looking confused, cautiously leave the ring with Brick never breaking his stare down with Doc. When they had finished leaving, Brick exits the ring never acknowledging Logan, who looks equally as confused as Doc Wyatt… Standings after tonight's matches...

Let's gooooooooooooooo. Thoughts: Overall a fantastic tournament. Seriously. It takes a lot of dedication to pull one off, and you haven't got enough feedback or credit to run this thing. The match quality was incredibly strong throughout. Dirk vs. Roy was fucking fantastic. Just a war right from the off. Hard-hitting, fast-paced fun. And Dirk looks like a total badass, whilst Roy still looks strong with all those grounding moves and gets his face caved in and just really fun stuff. Dirk was my original pick to win it all but he still ended up having a solid showing throughout. His match quality is so damned high. He's one of my favourite edits going at the moment. Sosa and Winter was also fire. A back-and-forth war indeed. Winter probably had lowkey the best tournament even if he lost A LOT. He looked competitive in every match. The ending was some fantastic puro shit of a big ol' head drop into a close 2.9999999 and then a big Emerald Fusion to end it. Really really really fun match here. Probably my favourite match of the night. God damn. Logan might be lowkey the best worker in WPW, and probably one of the best workers throughout the Alliance, for real. Guts out some shit, and looked like a million bucks in this match. He just couldn't be put down, and it's rad to see him winning the block, and going perfect. The final lariat with Royce trying for some kind of move only to get fucking stuffffffffffffffed by the lariat and have his head taken off was awesome. For Block B: Yoshi, ya done goofed. He very much felt out of his element all tournament. Stuck out like a sore thumb, really. Not in a wholly... bad way, but he almost felt like a free win . That said it was a cool little moment to see him switch things up in this last moment—as if he finally got over his stubborn streak and gave in to switching it up, though he still got thrown the fuck around by Vic. Vic really surprised me by not just cakewalking this tourney. Lobo vs. Brick: oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Heartbreaking. Absolutely gutted for that one. After his first match, beyond my obvious biases, I wanted Lobo to win this all. I really thought that Inverted 450 could have been it if not for the rope break. Especially sucks because if Brick would have gone for a conventional pinfall off that Choke Slam it maybe could have been pinfall, as well. Damn it all. And Wyatt vs. Throwback was indeed fun as shit. Throwback looked like a million damned bucks, throwing Wyatt about and just showing off his technical skills with all them back switches. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and really happy with Throwback's tourney. He's become one of my recent favourite edits I've made and I think he's also just like fundamentally good lol, so it's nice to see him put on really solid matches. Wyatt having to resort to the knuckles is, well, perfect for his character but oh so gutting. He's so much like CeO, I love it. Except more talented. He's undoubtedly the best character going in WPW. And just overall a really solid edit. A dude who, indeed, cheats, but has the skills to back up his brash words. I was absolutely heartbroken that Throwback didn't kick out. Again, not only because of personal biases, but I really wanted Throwback or Lobo to take the block. This does keep everything WPW-focused, though, which is, well, good. Obviously I know you aren't using the booking mod and I wouldn't even necessarily say to use it because as we've talked about often, it can become very obvious when used and it just makes things feel shitty. And Wyatt winning AGAIN makes him that much more detestable. And the added wrinkle of Brick showing up for the save, of course makes this whole fall-out really interesting. I love it, I really do. It's gonna make Logan vs. Wyatt very fun and Wyatt still deserves to be a huge focus. But I also won't sit around and say I'm not a LITTLE disappointed that Throwback, or just as equally, Lobo didn't get the shocking block win on the final day. Would have been a really awesome star-making moment. Lobo's stock obviously already rises just from doing so incredibly, but would have really, really loved to see that big babyface moment (even if in Throwback's case he is technically a heel, but eh.) Still, from a storyline perspective, Throwback and Logan will still be some hot shit, so I'm excited to see what comes next. Again, huge credit for pulling off this tourney, you deserve way more praise and feedback than you're getting, and thanks for including Throwback in it. :)

A REPORTER CATCHES UP TO DIRK VAN ORANJE IN AMSTERDAM*The scene opens to a shot of a quaint little cobblestone road running parallel to a charming brick-walled canal. The road is filled with bicyclists and the canal with small houseboats. The buildings hugging the side of the road look improbably narrow and some even seem to lean out over the street. In about half of the buildings, a scantily clad woman stands in a glass window with a red light burning behind her. Out in front of the buildings between those, people sit on terraces enveloped in clouds of smoke and giggling. This is Amsterdam.*
REPORTER: This is where he said to meet. Do you see him?
*The reporter looks around but doesn’t see the man they’re looking for. The cameraman sweeps up and down the street again, taking in the pleasant scene. Suddenly, a sharp ear-splitting whistle rings out behind them. They whirl around and spot Dirk, one of the many people sitting on one of the aforementioned terraces, enshrouded in smoke. He waves them over, a large conical joint dangling between two of his fingers.*
DIRK: Jongens! Come and have a seat.
*The reporter and his cameraman join him, looking a little wary about all the marijuana in there air.*
REPORTER: I thought you said we were meeting at a coffee shop.
DIRK: This IS a coffeeshop, you stomme eikel! In Holland, if it says ‘coffeeshop’ in English, that means it’s a weed store. I guess I should’ve expected an American to be utterly ignorant of our culture.
*The reporter shrinks into his seat a little bit. Dirk offers the joint to the cameraman who starts to reach for it, but the reporter stares daggers at him for doing so and he retracts his hand.*
REPORTER: You’re not… um…. concerned you might fail a drug test or something when you get back to the States?
DIRK: *scoffing and coughing* Are you kidding me? In the i.W.e., our drug test is simple and straightforward. David Harley asks “Do you smoke weed?” and the correct answer is yes. Any promotion with a different policy is a promotion I simply won’t work for.
*The cameraman laughs and the reporter scowls.*
REPORTER: So what made you decide to return to your home country of the Netherlands, Dirk? It seems like an odd time to take a vacation, seeing as though you have quite a few bookings stateside in the near future.
DIRK: Frankly, I just needed to get away for a little bit. I like the United States, but there’s one glaring problem with that place: it’s full to the brim with Americans. I can only take so much of them at a time. They have a very bad energy about them.
REPORTER: I’m sure your disappointing performance in the G2 Tournament also had something to do with you wanting to get away for a while.
*Dirk takes another tug off the joint and glares at the reporter, clearly annoyed by the statement.*
DIRK: It wasn’t MY performance that was a disappointment in the G2 Tournament, it was the cowardly, underhanded behavior of all those wretched Warrior Pro guys that was the real disappointment. I’ve never met people so devoid of dignity and honor in my life. I quite clearly kicked everyone’s ass all over the place, just like I always do, and the only two men to beat me both had to go to great lengths to cheat me out of victory. I guess that’s just the Warrior Pro way.
REPORTER: It seems that on top of your ongoing beef with Rampage Hunter, you now have a bit of a feud brewing with John Logan as well, after Rampage helped him steal a dubious victory over you in the second round. Do you anticipate meeting either of those men in the squared circle ever again?
DIRK: I don’t just anticipate it, I can go so far as to promise you right here and now, I will be meeting with both of them again. Soon. And those encounters will be quick ones, both ending with swift kicks to empty American skulls, and my wrist being raised in triumph. Guaranteed.
REPORTER: Those are two of the top names in Warrior Pro! That seems like a pretty bold promise to make.
DIRK: Does it? *shrugs* To me, it seems more a foregone conclusion than anything. The sun will rise again tomorrow, the sky will still be blue, water will always be wet to the touch, we’re all going to die one day, and any Warrior Pro wrestler you put in front of me is getting his ass kicked. These are just a few of life’s guarantees.
REPORTER: So if you could have it your way, who would you want to get your hands on first? Rampage or Logan?
*Dirk tugs thoughtfully on the joint and looks out over the canal.*
DIRK: I suppose Rampage has made enough of a nuisance of himself that it warrants my immediate attention. So I believe I’ll be paying him a visit first.

This Friday…. Finally… the lucha RETURNS! Lucha POWER is set to bring you all the exciting action you crave. All the best luchadores you have been asking for. Lucha. Is. BACK. The card for this month is stacked with the best talent from all over Mexico, and features a main event for the Lucha POWER Championship. The Legendary El Macho will also be on hand for a special announcement addressing rumors about the ownership of the company.
Check back right here THIS FRIDAY for Lucha POWER: Especial Dos!
Match Previews:
Pantero Negro Jr/Neon Knights vs Nightmare Clown/Loco Dixon/El Hijo Del 8-bitLast month Pantero Negro was brutally attacked by “Happy” Nightmare Clown. This month they’ve face off in a trios match featuring the Neon Knights of TIPWF, the unhinged Loco Dixon, and Intergalactic Wrestling Consortium’s own El Hijo Del 8-Bit. Pantero obviously has a score to settle with Nightmare, but expect universal chaos in this high octane opener.
Doctor Dorado vs Hexagon JrHexagon will be looking to make a statement after dropping the belt to Dungeon Dominguez last month, but that might be a tall order against the veteran Doctor Dorado, who has been looking to make a statement of his own calling out the ZDM brothers from rival promotion La Guerra any chance he can get.
Lucha POWER Championship: Dungeon Dominguez vs Lobo MuerteLobo Muerte earned a title shot through an impressive run in Warrior Pro Wrestling’s G2 Tournament, but he’ll have a daunting task when he faces off with the monster, Dungeon Dominguez. The man of few words is undefeated in Lucha POWER, and his dismantling of Hexagon Jr should give any hopes for upset pause. But Lobo Muerte has been making a habit of proving people wrong lately, and a shocking win would only serve to grow the legend…

The show kicks off with El Maco walking to the ring, microphone in hand. It is noticeable how small the crowd is, with nearly half the seats in the arena empty. El Macho addresses this crowd…Pantero Negro Jr/Neon Knights vs Nightmare Clown/Loco Dixon/El Hijo Del 8-bitRecap: A frantic brawl right from the jump, with all six men getting after it. In the end, it was Nightmare clown hitting Pantero Negro with a package piledriver for the shocking victory. After the match, all six men continued to brawl, as Nightmare Clown continued his assault on Pantero till security broke it up…
Winner: Nightmare Clown, Loco Dixon, El Hijo Del 8-Bit Rating: *** Doctor Dorado vs Hexagon JrRecap: A fantastic, fast paced match that saw both men push the pace from the jump. Hexagon seemed to have the match put away early after a succession of top rope moves, but Doctor Dorado just did get a leg on the ropes. The match proceeded back and forth, with neither man able to fully take advantage of the other. Eventually the wiley veteran would counter a whip into the corner and hit a foot stomp into a “Dia de Muertes” for the impressive victory.
Winner: Doctor Dorado Rating:****
After the match, Dorado grabs a mic and addresses the crowd…
Lucha POWER Championship: Dungeon vs Lobo MuerteRecap: Dungeon looked dominate early, controlling the pace and preventing Lobo from finding any kind of rhythm. But just when it seemed like Lobo might have an answer for the big man, Sal De La Roca showed up at ringside… and proceeded to help Dungeon, double teaming Lobo and devolving the match into chaos. When a bewildered El Macho finally restored order, Dungeon floored Lobo with a lariat and followed up with a stunning moonsault from the top rope for the decisive pin fall.
Winner: Dungeon Dominguez Rating:**** After the match, a still perplexed El Macho grabs a mic…Macho: Sal, amigo, what is the meaning of this? What are you doing? Just then Dungeon Dominguez comes up from behind and cheap shots El Macho. While he’s putting the boots to the owner, a voice rings in from the entrance to the ring…Walking to the ring is La Guerra owner Adalberto Bonilla alongside Sal De La Roca...Bonilla: Do you see El Macho? Do you see what happens to competition to La Guerra? Why do you think nobody showed up to this show? Because I told them not to. Sal De La Roca did not buy Lucha POWER amigo. No. I bought Lucha POWER. I now own this company. I own this company’s champion. I own this company’s roster. I own YOU. It is a new era in lucha. Bienvenido al futuro!
