DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo Semester 4 Class 3
The midway point of the semester begaan with Kerry Barnes managing to once again impress against Gal Friday, picking up a win with a lariat. Two of the original Undergrads would battle as Richard Lyon battled Guy Jordan, but Jordan would manage a win with a flying elbow. Alexandra Stava tried to use her power to her advantage but Bryan escaped the press slam and countered with a rollup pin.
In the Head of Class series, Ryan 0 started strong against Harland Sanders IV but Sanders' dirty tricks opened up the rookie to "Extra Crispy Stunner" for the three count. Florida Man would try to spoil Sergio Kontos' week, but the technician managed to outwrestle the wild man with a rollup pin. Lastly Frank Huxley battled Matthew Turtle in a classic brawler vs technician bout but Matthew ducked Huxley's Roughneck Lariat to counter with "Turtle Power Bomb" (Blue Thunder)
Last Alena Sturmbjorn, the newly crowned holder of the LOL Crown would battle the Head of Class David Atwood. Atwood seemed confident that he would win a power battle but in a shocking turn of events Alena utterly dominated the match, delivering a shortarm knee strike to follow up with "Warhammer" (Kamigoye) for the knockout in just over six minutes! With two stunning losses in a row for David Atwood his guest series is doing a damper for the momentum he gained by winning back the Head of Class title. With two heavyweight monsters ahead of him, can he get back into the dominant form we're used to seeing from Heavy Artillery?

DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo Semester 4 Class 4
The fourth fixture of Final Exam was Exam veterans against relative newcomers, Kerry Barnes looking to get a win at the expense of Alexandra Stava but the World's Strongest Woman would get the pin with a lariat. Bryan Storm was looking for his six points in his first outing too but fell to Richard Lyon's "Cat's Meow" Superkick. Guy Jordan had an opportunity to put himself in a strong position once more but in a back and forth encounter fell to Gal Friday's small package. It's almost all level going into the finale with nobody out of the running!
In the Head of Class series, Matthew Turtle would struggle against the underhanded tactics of Harland Sanders IV, falling to an "Extra Crispy Stunner". Florida Man and Ryan 0 battled in an intense back and forth contest, 0 hitting "Divide By 0" (Storm Breaker) on the floor but when he went back in the ring to hit another Florida Man escaped, looking for "Meth Grip" (Anaconda Vice) but Ryan got to the ropes. Florida Man hit "OUTTA NOWHERE" (No Touch Cutter) and looked to follow up with "Tampa Bay Plunge" (Tiger Driver) but Ryan reversed with an Octopus Hold and got the submission and a standing ovation! FInally Huxley and Kontos would battle in a hard fought encounter but the Roughneck survived the "OPA! Lock" (LeBell Lock) and delivered the "High Noon Piledriver" for his first win in the tournament, too little too late unfortunately as Ryan 0 is firmly in the lead.
Last but not least was the long-anticipated rematch between Johnny Morbid and David Atwood, their last encounter ending in a controversial countout. Atwood came out of the gate strong but the veteran Morbid was able to match Atwood's intensity with dirty tactics and capitalizing on mistakes. Atwood seemed to have it with "SALT I" (Fireman's Carry Brainbuster) but Morbid kicked out, Atwood going for another but Morbid countered with a DDT and a spear for the three count! Atwood is in poor form and has the Bone Collection Wrestling champion next to go as the tournament phase of the semester is drawing to an exciting climax.

DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo Semester 4 Class 5
Final Exam started out as anyone's tournament to win, Kerry Barnes looking to make it from alternate to graduate but Guy Jordan would not be denied, getting a small package to put Barnes and Stava out of the running. Richard Lyon was in a good position but he too would be denied when Stava managed to catch him with a rollup as well. It was down to the wire, and after fifteen minutes of action Gal Friday would avoid the flying elbow for a sleeper hold and a submission! Gal Friday celebrated as her backers made heart signs, returned by the newest graduate of the DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo!
In Head of Class action, Frank Huxley made an exclamation point to an otherwise disappointing semester for the Roughneck, knocking out the infamous Florida Man with his High Noon Piledriver. Sergio Kontos would look to cement a chance to finally become Head of Class but Harland Sanders IV came to play with one of the best matches the boss of CHICKEN CLUB XC has ever had, even getting a "YOU *CAN* WRESTLE" chant before Sanders got the win with Extra Crispy Stunner. Which lead down to Matthew Turtle looking to share a spot with Ryan 0 for the title match, but Ryan 0 wasn't keen on sharing the spotlight, taking advantage of a missed "Thicc Air" (Diving Senton) to catch him with "Newton's Cradle" (Mi Amor de mi Novia) for the theee count.
Finally David Atwood was in action against the reigning Bone Collection Wrestling champion Rallaster, the Head of Class looking to get a win after a string of losses. For nearly thirty minutes the two would battle in hard hitting fashion with neither giving an inch and both coming close to being counted out due to prolonged moments at ringside. Rallaster seemed to have control after a series of his trademark powerbombs, looking for "Dead Spike" (Rampage Slam) but Atwood managed to fall back on the fundamentals, escaping and taking Rallaster's back and applying a rear naked choke for the submission win!

DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo Semester 4 Finale
The night began with a showcase from Bone Collection Wrestling, as the alleged Hong Kong Butcher, "Torture Killer" Robert Garavito battled "The Primal Lust God" and 2019 Crown of Bones winner Gohthoar. This was a rematch of their Crown of Bones opening round match where Garavito was ambushed by his rival Mark Brocas beforehand leading to a decisive Gohthoar win; Garavito managed to make this a more competitive bout despite the imposing beast dominating early on. Gohthoar got a nearfall with "Fertility Ritual Sacrifice" (Deadlift Doctor Bomb) but when the Primal Lust God went for another Garavito managed to shift his body on Gohthoar's shoulders, countering with a Victory Roll and the three count! Robert Garavito with a huge upset win!
Next was the match for the Magic City Wrestling Ladies title as Alena Sturmbjorn battled Holly Houghton, whose reign has been controversial due to Holly's penchant of ambushing opponents before the bell to get the match thrown out. No such ambush took place tonight as the powerful Warrior Queen controlled the early going until Holly resorted to the "Luis Suarez Special" (Forehead Bite). Holly dominated the rest of the match but it wasn't easy... it took "Stoppage Time" (Sleeper), a PK, "Red Card Special" (Baseball Slide) and two more PKs to finally put Sturmbjorn away.
The six-person tag between Psycho Killer, Guy Jordan and Kerry Barnes vs Bryan Storm, Alexandra Stava, and Richard Lyon would prove to be a back and forth contest. Psycho Killer impressed with his return to the Undergrads, but when he tried to pin Alexandra Stava with a Dragon Suplex, the trouble he had lifting the World's Strongest Woman kept him from beating the clock and the match went to time limit draw.
Spider Jack and Xander Starr would compete next in a high flying clash between one of the top-ranked junior heavyweights of the modern era and one of the most skilled high fliers of all time. Xander Starr even broke out some old gear for the match as he donned the attire of his rookie persona Kid Arachnid for the occassion. The action was fast and furious but it was not speed but skil that decided the match, Spider Jack went for "Spiderweb Clutch" (Flying Octopus Hold) but Starr caught him in a chancery, hooked the arm, "Sacred River Suplex" (Devil Windmill) for the three count. Xander Starr would raise Spider Jack's arm after the match showing respect for the competitor many call the next Xander Starr as we went to intermission.
Back from break and Andi Harms would make a homecoming appearance to the Dojo to face the newest graduate, Gal Friday, who already has quite a following. "The Punisher" would test Friday's mat wrestling skills but as the match went on Friday was able to get some distance and deliver some junior heavyweight style offense. Friday got a nearfall with "Holiday Press" (Stardust Press). Harms would recover and look for "Harms Way" (Rolling Kneebar) but Gal Friday with a brilliant reversal caught Andi with a backslide for a pinfall victory!
Next was more six-man tag action as Johnny Morbid and The Aristocrats battled Sergio Kontos, Matthew Turtle and Frank Huxley. The action got chaotic several times, but the raw talent of the Dojo Graduates couldn't match the experience of the trio and Morbid's ring generalship. Eventually The Aristocrats would distract referee Matt Weston while Morbid used a low blow to counter Huxley's High Noon Piledriver, Weston turning around to see Morbid applying an STF for the submission.
Next Harland Sanders IV would do battle with Corey O'Brian, Sanders looking to cap off his tour with the Dojo with a win over the legend. The CHICKEN CLUB XC boss threw every dirty trick he had against O'Brian, a cheap punch during a break catching Corey above the eye cutting him open and dripping blood into the eye, allowing Sanders to gain a heavy advantage, but Corey would rely on his technical skills to reverse the momentum. Sanders would catch Corey with the Extra Crispy Stunner for a two count, delivering more punches to the head. Corey tried to answer with a rolling elbow but Sanders would duck, low blow with the ref out of position, eye gouge, and a rollup... but Corey managed to get out of it at two. At this point Corey just had enough of Sanders' dirty tactics and hammered the Heir to the KFC Fortune with a series of punishing Shoteis, then going for another Rolling Elbow... but when Sanders ducked it was revealed that this was a feint, Corey immediately grabbing waist control and hoisting Sanders... "Core Meltdown" (Ganso Bomb) leads once more to the three count.
Last but not least was the Head of Class title match as Ryan 0 looked to bring his white hot momentum to the top at the expense of David Atwood. 0 started strong with his unpredictable tactics but Atwood's power lead to a comeback, the action back and forth despite Ryan 0 kicking out of "SALT I" (Fireman's Carry Brainbuster) not once but twice Atwood wouldn't be denied, reversing "Divide By 0" (Storm Breaker) into the Enzui Shotei for the three count. David Atwood remains the face of DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo, but with the likes of Ryan 0 and Gal Friday, how long can this go on?
1. Robert Garavito d. Gohthoar 16:14 via Victory Roll
2. MCW Ladies Title v4: Holly Houghton d. Alena Sturmbjorn 12:48 via Penalty Kick to retain the title.
3. Killer/Jordan/Barnes and Storm/Stava/Lyon compete to 20:00 Time Limit Draw
-Psycho Killer had Alexandra Stava in a Dragon Suplex just before the bell.
4. Xander Starr d. Spider Jack 17:26 "Sacred River Suplex" (Devil Windmill)
5. Gal Friday d. Andi Harms 17:03 via Backslide Pin
6. Johnny Morbid and The Aristocrats d. Kontos/Turtle/Huxley 27:37 when Morbid submits Huxley with an STF
7. Corey O'Brian d. Harland Sanders IV 14:45 via "Core Meltdown"
8. Head of Class v1: David Atwood d. Ryan 0 16:35 via Enzui Shotei to retain the Head of Class title

South Florida United: #FREEHONGKONG Press Conference
Corey O'Brian held a press conference running down the show announced earlier this week, raising proceeds for Hong Kong Free Press, an independently run Hong Kong newsletter. When asked why he chose this particular publication, Corey expressed a belief that independant, unbiased journalism is one of the most important things for a free state to have. "Information is power, and the restriction of information by authoritarian governments takes power away from the people. DRAGONSUPLEX LLC and DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo stand with Hong Kong and want to keep those fighting in the streets for their independence armed with something more potent than any weapon; a voice to speak truth to power no matter how hard that power tries to supress it." Corey noted that he wanted to do a supershow with Miami-Based Magic City Wrestling and Ft Lauderdale-Based Proving Ground Pro Wrestling and Amazon-1 Women's Wrestling for a while now, and "Now we have a good cause to do it for."
Running down the card Corey noted that almost all titles except those held by Steven O'Brian, his cousin and opponent, and DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo's Head of Class title will be defended at the show. When explaining why the main event is non-title, Corey noted; "The championships I'm focusing on are the UBL ones. I cannot commit to my current duties with UBL and DRAGONSUPLEX as well as maintain appearances at three other promotions, even if two of those are within driving distance of me." The three promotions referring to PGCW, MCW, and New Orleans-based Louisiana Pro Wrestling, all main titles of which are held by Steven O'Brian, who did not attend the conference.
When asked about any kind of special stipulations or rulings, Corey noted that each promotion's title match will be held by their own ruleset, with the exception of the MCW Ladies Championship. O'Brian elborated that MCW has champions advantage (Which PGCW and Amazon-1 do not) but that is being suspended for the Ladies Title due to Holly Houghton's constant abuse of the rule.
"Cindi Slam has had a lengthy time as a wrestler and Matt Weston is the best referee in all of sports," Corey claimed. "I trust them both to keep things fair and to know how to juggle the rulesets."
When asked what match other than his own he was looking most forward to, O'Brian answered with the eight-man All Star Match.
Concluding the interview Corey O'Brian would announce the show would be broadcast on YouTube in it's entirity.

DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo Semester 5 Opener
The semester kicked off with the traditional Final Exam Prelude Battle Royale for a half-point advantage. Richard Lyon would start off strong bundling Kerry Barnes over then using the "Cat's Meow" Superkick on Alexandra Stava who would get bundled out by Guy Jordan. Guy Jordan would end up being thrown over by Bryan Storm and Lyon's run would be ended when Psycho Killer turned the tables on him. There was a bit of a hush in the air as the last time these two faced off it ended with Psycho Killer being removed from Final Exam for unsportsmanlike conduct. Psycho Killer would try to go immediately for the lariat but Bryan Storm would duck, and then bundle Killer over for the win! Bryan Storm gets the advantage and as we saw in Semester 4, that advantage can be the deciding factor that gets Bryan Storm into graduation.
Next Robert Garavito made his return to the Dojo having impressed Corey O'Brian with his performance last semester, and looked to face off against Dojo graduate Ken Archer of PGCW. Garavito was able to dictate the pace early on, but his attempts to apply "Geneva Convention" (Crossface) were stopped when Archer managed to get to the ropes before it was fully looked. Ken made a comeback, delivering "Archer's Arrow" (Michinoku Driver) and "Crossbow" (Schwein) for nearfalls, but Garavito hung on. The Torture Killer delivered a Backstabber to try to set up Geneva Convention again but Archer rolled through, catching Garavito's back and getting an O'Connor Roll for the three count, and a standing ovation for both men.
Buzzy Bluedog would represent Johnny Morbid and The Artistrocrats against Xander Starr next, Bluedog attacking the surgically repaired shoulder of Xander Starr throughout the match, Starr answering with sharp kicks and pinning combinations. Xander looked like he had things in control after getting a nearfall with "Einstein-Rosen Bridge" (Five Star Clutch) but before he could follow up Buzzy threw him into the corner shoulder first. Buzzy kept attacking the arm delivering an armbreaker takedown but when trying to finish off Xander with a jujigatame he overcommitted, allowing Xander to take wrist control and reverse into a modified prawn hold for the pinfall!
Next was a showcase of the Head of Class contenders as Ryan 0 and Matthew Turtle did battle Frank Huxley and Sergio Kontos. All four men got to show their skills in an over half-hour bout, but in the end it was The Roughneck who would get the glory, delivering a spear to Matthew Turtle before following up with "Cow Catcher" (Elevated Cloverleaf), shades of one of Huxley's influences The East Coast Cowboy for the submission win.
Next up Gal Friday got a rare chance to go one-on-one with Amazon-1 Grand Champion Kathy Queen in a non-title encounter. Queen seemed to underestimate Friday and found herself on the back heel, finding herself in trouble early when Gal Friday caught her with her signature "Red Letter Day" (Huricanrana into Triangle Choke) but Friday abruptly let go, complaining to the referee while Kathy made a lewd gesture to Friday. The mindgames of the Grand Champion led to a comeback, "Mind Flayer" (Complete Shot) seemed to be the end but Friday got a foot on the rope. Queen hit her version of "Loser's Lunch" (X-Factor) to set up "Eat At Kate's" (Shining Triangle) and seemed to have it in hand but Friday managed to pick her up and deliver a slam to stun the champ, following up with "Holiday Press" (Stardust Press) for the three count!
Next up was the Six-Person Tag from the guests that will be appearing in the semester as Marie St. Dumas, Oakland's Most Wanted and Andi Harms battled Mikey Poncho, Camarilla, and Mortebella. It was a nearly 40 minute chess match between the three units, but Andi Harms would show the technical skill she learned at the DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo catching the veteran Mikey Poncho with a side backdrop for the three count.
Next was legend vs legend as the two minds behind the old Demolition Pro Wrestling promotion did battle, October Raven vs Corey O'Brian. It was one of the most physical bouts the Dojo has seen as both men laid into each other with an array of Strong-Style strikes, Corey getting a Fisherman's Buster following up with an attempt at "Honnouji" (Orienteering With Napalm Death) but the Hardcore Legend had it scouted and got to the ropes in time. October Raven would use his familiarity with O'Brian to attack a body part that has been surgically repaired more than once in Corey's career... the neck. He delivered a series of German Suplexes into the turnbuckle but Corey refused to stay down for the three count even after eating a "Head Lariat" (Running No Touch Headbutt). The Death Metal Warrior went for another Head Lariat but Corey evaded, seemingly looking for Honnouji again, but this was a feint to get Raven into the gutwrench waistlock position, "Core Meltdown" (Ganso Bomb) for the knockout!
Last but not least was the 2/3 falls match to conclude the rivalry David Atwood has had with frequent guest Johnny Morbid. The Aristocrats were at ringside but so was the entirity of the Dojo as this was a lumberjack rules match to avoid the countout hijinks that Johnny Morbid and The Aristrocrats have been known for. It was a hard fought brawl and it looked like Morbid had the first fall in control with "Coat Hanger" (Dodon's Throne) and multiple "Plan B Knee"s (Top Rope King Kong Kneedrop) but Atwood recovered, working over Johnny Morbid with a Kimura before delivering a shoulder powerbomb and following up with the Shotei Lariat for the first fall.
In the second fall Atwood kept up the pressure, delivering multiple hiptosses and hitting "SALT I" (Fireman's Carry Brainbuster) for a two count. He looked for "SALT II" (Oshigoroshi) but Morbid escaped, trying to hook for the Coat Hanger but Atwood managed a standing switch... and Morbid grabbed senior official Matt Weston's shirt to distract from a low kick, following up with an STF for the submission.
Both men consulted their corners (The Aristocrats for Morbid, Matthew Turtle and Sergio Kontos for Atwood) before the third fall. Morbid tried to immediately throw Atwood into the official but Atwood countered with a standing Shotei. Atwood made a rookie mistake in checking to make sure Weston was okay allowing Morbid to sucker punch him and lay into him with elbows before throwing him into the ropes... but Atwood reversed the whip, setting up another Shotei Lariat, scoring a surprise sudden pinfall!
The night ended with Atwood raising the Head of Class title belt in the air, Morbid and the Aristocrats looking as if they were going to rush Atwood but with the whole Dojo ready to intervene they thought better of it. The six graduates would pose together as the cameras stopped rolling.

Semester 5 Class 1
We began with Psycho Killer continuing his momentum from the Semester Opener, getting a dominant win over Alexandra Stava with a Falcon Arrow. Guy Jordan would face a very game Kerry Barnes but would manage to eke out a win with a well-executed DDT. Lastly Richard Lyon would look to score points at the expense of Bryan Storm, but a missed Cat's Meow superkick lead to a Bryan Storm Dragon Suplex for the three count.
In Final Exam action, Andi Harms faced off Ryan 0 but could do little against the unorthodox Ryan, eventually falling to a Reverse Tiger Suplex followed up with a Shooting Star Press. Frank Huxley and Sergio Kontos had a back and forth brawler vs technician battle and in the end Huxley got the win with a choke sleeper. Matthew Turtle would look to stop the momentum of Gal Friday but despite getting near falls with "Thicc Air" (Diving Senton) and "Down With The Thiccness" (Standing SSP), Gal Friday answered with a devastating superkick.
Finally Mortebella would face off against Head of Class champion David Atwood. It seemed like Atwood has fallen out of form after his huge win over Johnny Morbid and Mortebella kept strong throughout the match, eventually felling Heavy Artillery with a moonsault. Will this be a sign of David Atwood falling back into a slump?

Semester 5 Week 2
The night began with Alexandra Stava getting her first points over Kerry Barnes with a sleeper hold. Despite fears that it would get ugly (including David Atwood being in the neutral corner) the bout between Psycho Killer and Bryan Storm would be surprisingly professional and clean, ending with Killer hitting a lariat for the pin. Richard Lyon would catch Guy Jordan by surprise with the "Cat's Meow" Superkick to get points on the board to round out the Final Exam fixtures.
Frank Huxley managed to survive the submissions of Andi Harms and answered with the Roughneck Lariat to get another two points. In a fast paced duel Matthew Turtle would flatte Ryan 0 with "Thicc Air" (Diving Senton) for a knockout. Gal Friday did her best against the mat stylings of Sergio Kontos, managing to prevent falling to the "Cretian Suplex" (Smith Special) but falling to the Dragon Suplex instead.
Lastly David Atwood would battle Camarilla, starting slow but his powerhouse style lead to more sustained offense as the match went on. Camarilla's compatriot Isaac LaCroix would distract senior official Matt Weston so Camarilla would bite Atwood to drain his blood, but this wasn't enough to stop Heavy Artillery who would get the win with the Shotei Lariat.
1. Alexandra Stava d. Kerry Barnes 13:47 via Sleeper Hold
2. Psycho Killer d. Bryan Storm 13:36 via Lariat

Semester 5 Week 4
Final Exam fired up as Alexandra Stava dominated Richard Lyon before pinning him with a schoolperson, putting her in prime position to take it all next week; Guy Jordan would counter a Bryan Storm lariat with a small package to get six points once more. Kerry Barnes played spoiler, taking out Psycho Killer with a lariat two make it a two-person race. Andi Harms looked to avenge her loss at last semester's finale show but ended up being pinned by Gal Friday a second time, this time by a Dragon Suplex. Matthew Turtle and Sergio Kontos had a technical duel that ended when Turtle hit "Thicc Air" (Diving Senton) for the KO. Ryan 0 and Frank Huxley battled in a prolonged technique vs power match that ended with Ryan putting Huxley in "Newton's Cradle" (Mi Amor De Mi Novia) for the three count. In our main event David Atwood went toe to toe with veteran Mikey Poncho in a back and forth duel, but Poncho ducked a Shotei Lariat and countered with "Mist Finer" (Michinoku Driver) smooth as silk for the three count. 1.

DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo Semester 5 Finale
The Semester 5 Finale began with a qualifying match between two DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo standouts, physical brawler Billy Gruff and former Hollywood stuntman John Carlton. It was a back and forth encounter but Gruff managed to get the win with a schoolboy pin.
Next up was an Undergrad showcase six-man tag, with trainee Irwin Rayne making up the numbers teaming with Richard Lyon and Kerry Barnes against Guy Jordan, Psycho Killer, and Bryan Storm. It was a competitive bout and even Irwin Rayne showed some resilience surving a flurry of offense from the opposing team, but in the end it was Richard Lyon ending the semester on a high note, eliminating the underperforming Bryan Storm.
MCW Heavyweight Champion Ripper Reno would make her entrance next in a non-title match with Xander Starr. Reno would try to test Xander's mat wrestling and found that Xander was up to the challenge. Reno switched up her tactics, adopting her brawling offense earlier than normal and focusing attacks to Xander's shoulder, meanwhile Xander was able to make a comeback but unable to capitalize. Reno went to the floor to get a chair but Xander immediately dropkicked her back out, then got to the top rope and delivered a huricanrana to the floor! Both Xander and Reno were laid out as the official made the count, Xander making it back on the count of 18 but Reno was unable to make it in herself, Xander gets the countout win!
Next Ryan 0 and Frank Huxley went up against Sergio Kontos and Gal Friday in tag team competition, a back and forth duel between the four graduates, culminating in a win for Sergio Kontos pinning Frank Huxley with a Crossbody a hair under the 30 minute mark.
Next was Alexandra Stava's official debut against women's legend Ruth Sampson, competiting with cracked ribs sustained at a taping of Hollywood Knights' weekly show in California. Sampson kept it to the mat but was just unable to match the unrelenting power of the World's Strongest Woman, a flapjack ribs first leading to a Deadlift German for the massive upset!
No DQ match was next as newly crowned BCW World Champion Gohthoar challenged Psycho Santa. While it wasn't a deathmatch it was hard to tell at times with how vicious and bloody the match quickly got as the two battled in and out of the ring with weapons aplomb. Psycho Santa looked for "Slay Ride" (Last Ride) but Gohthoar escaped, kendo stick to the ribs before putting the stick over Santa's back, Double Stomp off the top rope onto the stick BREAKING it, then "Fertility Ritual Sacrifice" (Hammer Throw Powerbomb) for the pin.
Robert Garavito would challenge Corey O'Brian next and Garavito would impress with his technical skill, having a surprisingly competitive bout with the legend. Garavito would deliver a "Core Meltdown" (Ganso Bomb), O'Brian's own signature finisher, against him but Corey would kick out. Garavito tried to grab a weapon, Irwin Rayne would grab it from him and Garavito would deck him before throwing him into the pole. Corey would be INCENSED by this, the crowd chanting "YA DONE GOOFED" at Garavito, and when Garavito got back in the ring he ate a runing Shotei, Core Meltdown followed... Garavito would kick out but Corey O'Brian would not relent, immediately deliverig the Kinniku Buster for the three count.
Last but not least we had the Head of Class Title Match as Matthew Turtle looked to challenge David Atwood once again. The last time these two faced off Matthew Turtle came out on top and early on it seemed like history would repeat itself but Atwood capitalized on a missed "Thicc Air" (Diving Senton) and hit "SALT II" (Ushigoroshi) for the pin. Will David Atwood continue to dominate the Dojo in 2020? We'll find out next semester but for now, Heavy Artillery wins the day.
