The Black Dragon

SPOILER: Click to show

"Crusher Honda has always been held up as this... monster, among the Office, among Lightning Pro, all over the damn world. That she is the single most destructive force that's ever existed, to ever set foot in a ring. That she should be feared, that she's still the best and most dangerous woman alive.

Times change, Honda... and if you think that the team you've assembled is going to turn me away, you're a fool. I am the Phoenix Rising World Champion. I hold the Victorious Medal. This is MY time, Honda... and no matter who you have standing at your side, you'll never... NEVER be at my level again."

[LankyLefty17]

Apologies for missing the show last night, had a last minute thing come up... and man did I miss some action.

SPOILER: Click to show

Lighting Pro:
The opener was such a war, one of my favorite Office matches of the year.  A bloodied Masa taking it too GPC, that dude turned heads.  I want more Sam Hall.  The six man match was a lot of fun, though I'm bummed at the recent performance of both Wrecker and Crusher.  And the main event was a really fun back and forth, given I was less familiar with both women.  Overall a really fun show as usual.

ATB:
It bummed me out Ruiz lost.  It bummed me out even more when Ward lost (though that was my personal fight of the night).  Ali winning made me happier.  These boxing shows are always a good time...

[Senator Phillips]

A special thanks to everyone who showed up(or watched afterwards), and made this an enjoyable event to stream.

RESULTS

Lightning Across Japan Tour (6-7-19)
Friday, June 7th, following All Time Boxing in our timeline, in Hiroshima, Japan at the Hiroshima Sun Plaza

Bonus Match
Esther Musambi(Pan African Wrestling) vs. Rumika Hashi

A surprise bonus match featuring the new Pan African signee and Hashi, who was obviously wanting a match when she appeared earlier in the show. As it was, Esther Musambi impressed with her kicks and power, but Hashi's veteran presence and deadly Sparrowhawk Kick were too much for her to overcome in her first Office appearance.

Main Event
The Black Dragon(Phoenix Rising), Nishimura Endo and ALEXANDER vs. The Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto) and Tarkhan the Mangler

Carnage broke out, as predicted, with Wrecker Yamamoto having it in for ALEXANDER, Crusher Honda doing her usual thing, the Dragon breathing fire when Tarkhan wasn't attepting to break her neck, Endo absorbing damage, and eventually, ALEXANDER caught Wrecker with a guillotine choke to take the win.

Dean Bardo vs. Eiji "Jay" Sato

This match was everything it was expected to be, with many suplexes traded, Sato flying at times, and eventually, a ticked off Bebop Tiger dropped a harsh knee drop on the back of Bardo's head to take the win.

Sam Hall vs. Yoshirozuna

Before the match, Hall addressed the arena, and received a message from Rumika Hashi before his real target, Yoshirozuna showed up.

Sam Hall: Alright now, I'm here wearing my damn Ribera jacket, waiting for my opponent, so show up already, got that!

Rumika Hashi: You want opponent! I could be that person! But it is not me!

As it was, the Supreme Sumo came to fight, taking the match to Hall before he could even take off his jacket. But the Outlaw had overcome his bizarre gutwrench fixation(mostly) and ended up giving Yoshirozuna the fight of his life, eventually landing an Outlaw Boot for the well-deserved victory.

Kosuke Arai, Yuriko Masamune and Super Grey Machine vs. The Muscle Machines(Gary Gear and Adonis Avery Alexander) and Kyle Anderson(Phoenix Rising)

The Five Star Machines did not show any mercy to their elders in this bout, with Avery Alexander dealing the final blow after landing More Muscular and a diving splash on Masamune.

Preliminary Main Event
G.P. Christopher vs. Masa Tokugawa

GPC always defends his spot on the card, and here, he took Masa Tokugawa to the limit, busting him open with a knee drop and landing suplexes all match long. But Masa was not going to back down an inch, and fired back with the Apocalypse Knee and eventually a hard series of elbows finished Christopher.

---

Match of the Night: GPC vs. Tokugawa
-A brutal striking contest that demonstrated Christopher's unyielding fighting spirit, as well as the Apocalyptic Warrior's incredible will. Tokugawa likely won a title shot based off this match.

Performer of the Night: Sam Hall
-The Outlaw called out Yoshirozuna yet again, and amazingly, this time, managed to emerge as the winner, despite never taking off his beloved Ribera jacket.

[Senator Phillips]

Office News and Upcoming Events

-The Senatorial Office will present the long awaited post Lariats and Legislators #8 ranking update next week, with one confirmation that Jean-Pierre Mutombo will still be in the top spot.

-The Pan African Tour will return this year with a target date of late June to early August, and will welcome freelance talent along with a number of new additions to the main roster.

-Around Halloween, the PEWA is planning on holding a Horror of Hardcore event with a focus on horror based wrestlers, opening invitations to the rest of the Critical Alliance in doing so.

-Lil Lariato addressed the crowd after his landmark win over Doc Wyatt, offering the Warrior Pro main eventer a possible rematch and thanking his fans and friends in attendance, but Commissioner Walt Callahan interjected:

Lil' Lariato: Come on up here, Commish, you gave me this shot, you get mad cred for that, when people said I wasn't ready for this, when I got my ass kicked by Cowboy who got ethered by Doc, they said I was hopeless, but you threw me in there, when you knew you wanted his loud mouth shut up ASAP. And I delivered.

Walt Callahan: Don't thank me too quick, Lariato. You might not like what I have to say.

Lariato: Aw, Walt, don't kill my vibe.

Callahan: You earned this, and you're the man now. But you don't get to call your shots just yet. Doc Wyatt isn't getting a rematch. Not without going through hell to get there. And I have just the sort of hell for him to jump through. Doc Wyatt, Adrien Lawton, Valentina Verda, the Everyman, they're all in the mix. And they're all going to fight for the right to face you next. It's only fair.

Lariato: You know, for an old bastard, you're perfectly reasonable, you know that, Walt?

---

-Masa Tokugawa has called out the Black Dragon after his definitive win over G.P. Christopher at the last Lightning Pro show, and L-Pro Chairman Shima Ito has confirmed that the match will be penciled in for the tour concluding event for Lightning Across Japan.

A big meeting of Wacker Drive Revival and Pan African Wrestling takes place this Friday in Chicago.



African Dreams and the Electric Blues: Wacker Drive Revival x Pan African Wrestling
Friday, June 14 following ZIP Japan at Wacker Drive Revival in Chicago, IL

Main Event
Jean-Pierre Mutombo(Pan African Wrestling) vs. Mr. Moonsault
Two of the most popular members of the Office square off properly in this main event. While Mr. Moonsault's stock has fallen a bit in recent months, a win over the #1 ranked Mutombo could place him right back up on the chart.

England and Egypt
The Egyptian Dynasty(Layla Al-Amin(Phoenix Rising), Mohammad Ramses(Pan African Wrestling) and Nefertiri(Pan African Wrestling)) vs. Three Lions(Phil Mercury, Valerie May and Fred the Red)
Three Lions have been making a case for a future shot at The Loop, and a victory here would guarantee it. However, that may not be likely, with the Dynasty and Phoenix Rising's former Inspire champion, Al-Amin presenting a formidable threat.

Powerhouse Confrontation
Gorilla Power vs. King Bemba(Pan African Wrestling)
Two of the most intimidating, physical members of their respective rosters, Gorilla and Bemba will see this match as a potential guarantee to place a spot on the upcoming rankings, as either one would count as a top notch victory for the other.

Frank Van Sloan vs. Wesley Rakoto(Pan African Wrestling)
The Uberkicker, Van Sloan is one of the best pure martial artists in the Office, even at his age, but the speed and unorthodox martial arts approach of Rakoto could give him trouble. One thing's for sure here, they'll be fast as lightning...and it could be kind of frightening...

The D-Team(D-Man Daunte Thomas, Freight Train McMichaelson and Astrid Johannson vs. FENYANG(Pan African Wrestling), Anwar Omar(Pan African Wrestling) and Esi Dogboe(Pan African Wrestling)
A grab bag of PAW talent will team up to take on three fourths of the D-Team, and the varying styles here should give a variety of matchups in this showcase bout.

Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi(Pan African Wrestling) vs. Humberto Ortega
Mehrmohammdi apparently requested this match in the opening slot, taking to the spot like his fellow Strong Style Royalty tag team member, GPC. Expect this match to potentially steal the show, with Ortega's effortless laid back skill and Mehrmohammdi's pace making a quality combination for the fans.

[Senator Phillips]

[Senator Phillips]

A special thanks to Denizen for graciously letting me run Wacker Drive during his usual ZIP timeslot while he figured out his technical difficulties, and for everyone who showed up for the Friday Night Fights, and for putting up with my own streaming issues.

RESULTS

African Dreams and the Electric Blues: Wacker Drive Revival x Pan African Wrestling
Friday, June 14 following ZIP Japan at Wacker Drive Revival in Chicago, IL

Main Event
Jean-Pierre Mutombo(Pan African Wrestling) vs. Mr. Moonsault

It is a common cliche in combat sports to state that "there's levels to this." This match proved the cliche, as Jean-Pierre Mutombo utterly outclassed his seven foot foe, planting him with The Unifier brainbuster side slam, and put him down for good with a running Congolese Uppercut. Total domination from the #1 Ranked Mutombo.

England and Egypt
The Egyptian Dynasty(Layla Al-Amin(Phoenix Rising), Mohammad Ramses(Pan African Wrestling) and Nefertiri(Pan African Wrestling)) vs. Three Lions(Phil Mercury, Valerie May and Fred the Red)

Pure pandemonium ruled the night in this match, as both teams seemed more interested in unleashing the maelstrom, above putting on an orderly competition. Layla Al-Amin demolished Phil Mercury later into the match, laying him out with a sunset flip bomb after he had tagged out and gave the Egyptian Dynasty the advantage from there, with Nefertiri countering Fred the Red into a pin to take the win.

Powerhouse Confrontation
Gorilla Power vs. King Bemba(Pan African Wrestling)

Demonstrating his comtempt for his opponent's "uncouth nature," King Bemba wore his regal Ugandan attire, and dominated the early proceedings against Gorilla Power. However, the man in the ape mask did not break under the pressure, hitting a Gorilla Pop and eventually the Gorilla Fall to take a well earned victory in a thriling match.

Frank Van Sloan vs. Wesley Rakoto(Pan African Wrestling)

Madagascar's Wesley Rakoto made a solid debut in this match, but Frank Van Sloan's signature Uberkick was the deciding factor, and won the match for the Belgian veteran.

The D-Team(D-Man Daunte Thomas, Freight Train McMichaelson and Astrid Johannson vs. FENYANG(Pan African Wrestling), Anwar Omar(Pan African Wrestling) and Esi Dogboe(Pan African Wrestling)

A heated matchup that saw Astrid Johannson deliver several huge tackles, FENYANG hit the Aces High diving headbutt, and Esi Dogboe bring a spirited fight to the proceedings. However, that was not enough, as Daunte Thomas planted her with a Daunte's Inferno Sternness Dust for the victory.

Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi(Pan African Wrestling) vs. Humberto Ortega

A well paced opening bout between the Pan African Wrestling promoter and the Internationale's laid back Revolutionary. While Mehrmohammdi kept the pace up, dropping several Air Nigeria diving elbows, Ortega's smooth skills came through in the end with a Mysteriorana pin.

---

Match of the Night: Gorilla Power vs. King Bemba
-An easy call, even with the Dynasty vs. Three Lions match on the card, as the two powerhouses displayed agility, strength and aggression in a back and forth battle that stole the show.

Performer of the Night: Jean-Pierre Mutombo
-Mr. Moonsault is typically a dominant main eventer, but looked like a complete jobber against Mutombo's relentless attack. This could well be one of the most impressive wins in Office history.

---

Injury Report:

Phil Mercury: Wind Knocked Out (No Medical Suspension)
-A brutal sunset flip bomb on Mercury left him sprawled out for the last five minutes of his six person tag, but an evaluation cleared him shortly afterwards, and thankfully so, as he had to catch a flight to make it over to Pro Wrestling Revival directly after that.

[Senator Phillips]

One of the biggest events in recent memory for SFW, with multiple high profile guests, a big eight person tag main event and Senator Steve Phillips in action!


Santana Touring Festival, June 2019
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, June 19 at the Auditorio de Pedro Santana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Main Event
Salvador Sosa, Canadian Grizzly, Felix Santana Jr. and El Froggy Mask vs. Colossus Rhodes, Julio Rivera, El Experto and Itzcoatl Hernandez
The Rudo Army teams up with the Santana Family Home Team against a murderer's row of foes from Rudo EX, who have convinced the Immovable Object and the Irresistible Force to ally with their cause. The Home Team Army will have an uphill battle in this one, despite the list of bankable names on their side.

Battle for the Bear Mantle
Senator Steve Phillips vs. Shaka Corbin(Blackrose Wrestling)
Shaka Corbin still has possession over Canadian Grizzly's beloved bear mantle, but this time around, Senator Steve Phillips makes a return to the ring as a favor to Grizzly, who had joined his team at Lariats and Legislators #8. Will the American defeat the South African in the Dominican Republic to restore the honor of a great Canadian? Only one way to find out how this international conflict is resolved.

Wasp vs. Frog
Mascara Avispa(Independent) vs. Poison Froggy Mask
Poison Froggy Mask is as bitter as any venom, and reportedly demanded this match to demonstrate why "Avispa is no legend." For his part, Mascara Avispa has looked to be in his usual solid form as of late, and should present a formidable challenge to his Rudo EX foe.

Tocapelotas(La Guerra de Sangre) vs. Moonman
Exiled from La Guerra, the ultra popular Toca has found a temporary home in the Senatorial Office, and Santana Family Wrestling. He looks to take on a fellow eccentric in the Moonman, a battle that may as much be about "Toca Toca Toca" vs. "Mooooon" than anything else.

Senora Conquistadora and Diego Santana vs. Felix Santana III and Felice Santana
Diego Santana recently joined Rudo EX thanks to his relationship with Conquistadora. This did not sit well with the Santana family, and siblings Felix III and Felice look to take the fight to their cousin and his girlfriend.

Hailey Comet(TIPWF) vs. Margarita Morales
As often happens, the TIPWF sends talent over for SFW tours, and in this case, the popular high flyer, Hailey Comet steps up to take on the submission specialist Morales in a clash of styles.

[OrochiGeese]

Sam Hall vs. Yoshirozuna

SPOILER: Click to show

Before the match, Hall addressed the arena, and received a message from Rumika Hashi before his real target, Yoshirozuna showed up.

Sam Hall: Alright now, I'm here wearing my damn Ribera jacket, waiting for my opponent, so show up already, got that!

Rumika Hashi: You want opponent! I could be that person! But it is not me!

As it was, the Supreme Sumo came to fight, taking the match to Hall before he could even take off his jacket. But the Outlaw had overcome his bizarre gutwrench fixation(mostly) and ended up giving Yoshirozuna the fight of his life, eventually landing an Outlaw Boot for the well-deserved victory.

SPOILER: Click to show

Very glad to see Sam Hall learning from the previous gutwrench mistakes and evolving to win the rematch. Sounds like it was a very hard hitting victory!  I like the finish too. Yoshirozuna isn't great against kickers, he can't really get his hands up quickly enough to block or deflect some of the impact. That being said, due to his Samoan roots (he's half-Samoan, half-Japanese), he has a hard enough head to take a lot of punishment. So that shows just how strong Sam Hall's kick really is!

Match of the Night: GPC vs. Tokugawa
-A brutal striking contest that demonstrated Christopher's unyielding fighting spirit, as well as the Apocalyptic Warrior's incredible will. Tokugawa likely won a title shot based off this match.

Performer of the Night: Sam Hall
-The Outlaw called out Yoshirozuna yet again, and amazingly, this time, managed to emerge as the winner, despite never taking off his beloved Ribera jacket.

LOL, I hope the jacket didn't get sumo sweat all over it 😁

GPC vs. Tokugawa sounded awesome, by the way!

In the meantime, here's a quick promo roundup, <brackets are translated from Spanish> -

Felix Santana Junior: <Midas Matthews is gone, and it was long past due! We won that battle. But a war's still left to fight. The enemies just changed a little bit.>

Salvador Sosa: <And if you're fighting a war, you need allies. Hell, you need an Army of allies, if you catch my drift.>

Felix Junior: <I get it, the Rudo Army and the Santana Family have their own goals, and when we get through this, it's back to going hand to hand again. But we teamed well against Midas. And we'll team well against his remnants. Colossus Rhodes, you hold my family's title! You can't hold onto it forever! Either one of mine will get you some day, or Salvador might take it, but either way, you can forget getting comfortable with that belt!>

Salvador: <It's all good. One of ours will get that belt at some point. But we take this one fight at a time. And the Rudo Army is ready for Colossus, Julio, Experto, all of them. They drew first blood, but we'll take their last drop.>

---

Ex Experto: <Santanas! Rudo Army! Your days are numbered! Because now that Morgan Matthews has withdrawn from this island, I have the most destructive tool in all of professional wrestling at MY disposal! Colossus Rhodes has joined Rudo EX, and you can all quiver in fear with his might paired with my expertise! The Dominican Golden Championship is the possession of Rudo EX, and it will never, ever touch the hand of a Santana ever again! And Salvador Sosa, you and your pathetic losers can continue to dwindle in obscurity! Your Canadian lackey even lost his head, I mean, should I call him Canadian Ginger now? Because he's no Grizzly anymore! Completely irrelevant. Just like anyone who opposes Rudo EX.>

---

Senator Steve Phillips: Canadian Grizzly put his pride on the line to assist me at Lariats and Legislators #8. He volunteered to help me take on Morgan Matthews and his recruits. The fact that he did not succeed in his match is of no concern. In a strange way, I could even say that his defeat helped foster my eventual victory. So I feel obligated to do something in return to demonstrate my gratitude for the Grizzly's contribution. As such, I am here in Santo Domingo, ready to take on a formidable opponent to make things right for once and for all. I am here to return the Mantle back to its rightful owner. And while I understand Shaka Corbin is as powerful and explosive as anyone in wrestling, Mr. Corbin must also comprehend that when he steps into the ring tonight, he does so with someone who is every bit as determined as he is, with a headline maker, office taker, world shaker, the roughest, toughest, most intelligent son of a gun he will ever face within the squared circle! Shaka Corbin, you have carried this farce on long enough, and by hook, by crook, or by any means necessary, I promise you that I will take that Mantle off your hands and return it where it needs to go, and that, good sir, is nothing...but the truth.

---

Poison Froggy Mask: <Mascara Avispa, Mascara Avispa, Mascara Avispa, all I ever hear about is this so-called "junior heavy legend." All I ever hear is how great this wasp mask bastard is, how he puts on the best matches of all time, how he beats everyone he ever faces, how he does things nobody ever did before in the ring! And I'm sick and tired of hearing this! Avispa, listen to me, frogs eat wasps. Frogs eat wasps. Frogs...eat...wasps. FROGS EAT WASPS!>


---

Senora Conquistadora: <Felice, not only did Rudo EX rip your title away and beat your father, but we have your cousin, too! He belongs to me!>

Diego Santana: <Senora, please. I am not here to hurt them, just to be with you, babe.>

Felice Santana: <You two make me so, so, so, angry! I want to dive from the lighting rig onto you both! I don't care if it breaks me into pieces if it sends you to the hospital!>

Felix Santana III: <Diego, I've been there. I've gotten tired of walking in the tired footsteps of the past. It gets old. And I know you like her but you gotta realize you team with her, you're with Experto's crowd. And if you're with them, you're against us. So pick your side. Either throw your cards with them or with us.>

Felice: <I'll hit you both with the biggest Santana Sky I can do, I'll flip so high that I'll catch a seagull and stab you with its beak!>

Felix III: If you can piss Felice off this bad, you know you're in for it. Don't think I'll take it easy on you. And Senora, you think I'm not gonna suplex your spine into dust because you're a woman...you better be ready, got that?>

Senora: Rudo EX isn't afraid of you. Don't warn me to be ready, you better have your insurance paid up, real well. Because if you think you can stand between me and darling Diego, I'll make you pay a price you can't fathom. I'll see you two tonight!>

[TheDenizen]

looking forward to this show, might miss the first match or so, but I'll be there.

[Senator Phillips]

RESULTS

Santana Touring Festival, June 2019
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, June 19 at the Auditorio de Pedro Santana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Main Event
Salvador Sosa, Canadian Grizzly, Felix Santana Jr. and El Froggy Mask vs. Colossus Rhodes, Julio Rivera, El Experto and Itzcoatl Hernandez

And with Grizzly back in full Grizzly form, the combined forces of the Rudo Army and the Santana Family's Home Team...came up short against the utter might of Colossus Rhodes. The Dominican Golden Champion looked entirely unstoppable, wrestling for the bulk of the match and steamrolling everyone in front of him, eventually beating Salvador Sosa, yet again, planting him with a big chokeslam.

Battle for the Bear Mantle
Senator Steve Phillips with Very Canadian(Canadian Grizzly and Megan Chabot) vs. Shaka Corbin(Blackrose Wrestling)

For all the technique and skill of the preceeding match, Senator Phillips and Shaka Corbin came into their match looking for a full on fight. Corbin's power gave him the early edge, but Phillips was determined to pay back his allies at ringside, and, surviving everything the South African threw at him, landed a thunderous Washington Lariat to return the Bear Mantle back to Canadian Grizzly, who wasted not a second placing it back over his head.

Wasp vs. Frog
Mascara Avispa(Independent) vs. Poison Froggy Mask

For wrestling purists, this could well be one of the best matches of the entire year. For over twenty minutes, Poison Froggy Mask and Mascara Avispa went hold for hold, engaging in a methodical technical showcase that slowly but consistently proceeded along, neither masked man willing to unleash their full arsenal until the end stretch, with PFM landing the Dart Drop but his eventual aggression and frustration finally gave Avispa the window of opportunity he had been looking for to counter into a flash rollup for the well-earned win.

Toca vs.the Moon II
Tocapelotas(La Guerra de Sangre) vs. Moonman

These two goofoffs seemed more intent on messing around than getting to the finish, but Toca eventually got there with a classic low blow and a folding pin that he absolutely refused to let go of after the three count.

Senora Conquistadora and Diego Santana vs. Felix Santana III and Felice Santana

Back and forth with constant tags, suplexes over the ropes, brawling on the outside and general chaos, these two teams did not let up for a second until Diego Santana defeated Felix III with a quick rana finish.

Hailey Comet(TIPWF) vs. Margarita Morales

Margarita Morales dominated her TIPWF counterpart on the mat for most of this match, but Hailey Comet has never been known for giving up without a fight, and after a Southern Star Press in the ropes, a Super Southern Star Press put Morales away for a big comeback.


---

Match of the Night: Avispa vs. Poison Froggy Mask
-No question here, although the opener, the Rudo EX vs. Santana Siblings and Senator vs. Shaka matches all delivered as well. This was easily one of the best Office matches of the year, flat out.

Performer of the Night: Colossus Rhodes
-While Goliath rarely gets the credit for his dominance over the Davids of the world, nobody can deny that Rhodes essentially flattened his top four challengers with ease, almost singlehandedly.

[Senator Phillips]

Senatorial Office Rankings for June ‘19

1. Jean-Pierre Mutombo [Last Month: 1]
The only winner out of the War Series for Team Senator, and undefeated since the time of the last rankings, JPM has proven that he is far and away the top face of the Senatorial Office.
2. Lil' Lariato [Last Month: 10]
An amazing jump up the ranks for Lariato, but a victory over OG-FPD's legendary king of the Echo Lariat, RYOMA and a TIPWF Lone Star Championship victory over Warrior Pro's Doc Wyatt proved that Lariato's fight has well exceeded his height.
3. Young Blood [Last Month: N/A]
Defeating a dominant champ in Tomas for the PEWA Extreme Title, defeating Kantar, who had rolled over almost the entire PEWA roster, and beating Tasharun in an absurdly brutal battle cemented Young Blood in the upper echelon.
4. Colossus Rhodes[Last Month: 6]
Rhodes is still one of the most dangerous men in the world, even managing to drag Julio Rivera to a win over Senator Steve Phillips, Salvador Sosa and Felix Santana Jr. in a two on three handicap tap. He’s also made waves in Warrior Pro as of late, under the command of Doc Wyatt.
5. El Froggy Mask [Last Month: 3]
A small fall for Froggy, but his popularity has kept him in good standing across the Critical Alliance, consistently in the running for the Internet title in Pro Wrestling Revival and working in or around the main event for Santana Family Wrestling.
6. Gang Wong [Last Month: 8]
A short step up the ranks for Gang Wong, who successfully defended his UCSS Openweight belt against HONOO's classically trained boxer, Andronicus Turner and continues to stand out as a fighting champion.
7. Cowboy Johnston [Last Month: 2]
A tough call, as Johnston looked strong up until the worst showing of his entire career at Lariats #8, utterly obliterated by Doc Wyatt. But following that result, he turned out a classic performance, upsetting AAW's trash talking Money Maniac, Adrien Lawton, one of the best wins of any Office member in the same time frame.
8. Masa Tokugawa [Last Month: N/A]
The Apocalyptic Warrior has been superb as of late, with a standout victory over G.P. Christopher in a de facto title eliminator setting him up for a bout against the Black Dragon. While this may well send Tokugawa to his own doom, his showings have well placed him in the rankings.
9. Aoife Daley [Last Month: 9]
Daley stagnated due to relative inaction, but still stands as the top contender for the UCSS Openweight title, and got some sweet revenge on Midas and Stanford at Lariats #8.
10. Crusher Honda [Last Month: 11]
Honda stabilized due to her showings in Sakura Pro, demonstrating that she still wields enough power to break anyone in the right situation.
11: Downtown Lucy Brown [Last Month: N/A]
Incredible showings in Pro Wrestling Revival have placed Lucy Brown on the rankings, along with a solid win over Opaque in the PEWA.
12. Rodeo Angel [Last Month: N/A]
An excellent run in the Arooper Junior Tournament and frequent spots around the Critical Alliance have given Rodeo Angel a higher profile than ever.
13. Princesa Torbellina [Last Month: 6]
A great start in OASIS has given Torbellina some momentum, with her victory over Doc Crystal standing out the most.
14. Gorilla Power [Last Month: N/A]
A statement victory over King Bemba placed Gorilla Power back on the map in a big way.
15. Sam Hall [Last Month: N/A]
The Outlaw redeemed himself and then some with an astounding win over OG-FPD's Yoshirozuna in Lightning Pro action, and may well actually get booked regularly going forward.

Bumped Off

Nishimura Endo [4]
Tomas the Tiny Giant [5]
The X-Treme Kid [7]
G.P. Christopher [12]
Tarkhan the Mangler [13]
Mr. Moonsault [14]
Freight Train McMichaelson [15]

Many of the top names of their respective feds couldn't make it this time around, Endo, Tomas and XTK having lost their championships.

Close Calls
ALEXANDER, Valentina Verda, Wrecker Yamamoto, Felice Santana, Phil Mercury, Johnny Sixname, Eiji "Jay" Sato, Sarita Jean Watkins, Canadian Grizzly

Not Ever Happening
Stanford Bradley
'Nuff said.

(NOTE: Tag Team rankings now include trios, considering the TIPWF's Trios division)
Tag Team Rankings
1. The Bingo Hall Mutants [Rampage Rage and Skullface Killah] [Last Month: 3]
Finally a new team on the top of the rankings! The Mutants may not have defeated the Knights directly for this honor, but their consistent success in Evergreen Wrestling has proven that the two BBQ loving hardcore originals are the best team in the Office at this point.
2. The Wild Women [Mina Fitsharris and Juliette Erving] [Last Month: 5]
With their victory over 2 Junkies at Lariats #8, the Wild Women now place themselves into elite territory, their seemingly antagonistic ways masking a deeper bond and while their teamwork will never be described as fluid, it's undeniably effective.
3. The Roland Chang Trio [Roland Chang Sr., Roland Chang Jr. and Roland Chang III] [Last Month: 3]
Defeating the Neon Knights and taking the TIPWF Trios belts back gave the Changs a huge shot in the arm, and could well set themselves up for a shot at the top.
4. The Egyptian Dynasty [Mohammad Ramses and Nefertiri] [Last Month: N/A]
The Egyptian team of husband and wife made a triumphant return to Office competition, teaming with Phoenix Rising's Layla Al-Amin to defeat the Three Lions team from Wacker Drive. Expect them to run strong through the upcoming Pan African Tour '19.
5. The Neon Knights [Supernaut, Holy Diver and Hija de Holy Diver] [Last Month: 1]
The former top ranked team since the debut of the tag rankings, the Knights are still formidable, still competitive, but will have to fight hard to get back to the top.

Bumped Off

2 Junkies [Florida Man and Bath Salts Zombie] [2]

The Junkies were bound to crash and burn eventually, and it happened, against the Wild Women, a team almost as unhinged as them.

Close Calls

Injury Report
Nishimura Endo: Fractured Orbital [Two months, minimum]
-Endo lost his Victorious Medal in a terrifying way, being slammed face first into the mat with the Black Dragon's infamous reverse chokeslam. The veteran competitor has stated that he is not interested in retirement or the low card, and will return to action when medically cleared again.

And a quick addition to the injury report, spoilered for those who haven't seen Sakura Pro this week:

SPOILER: Click to show

Crusher Honda: Dislocated Shoulder [Three Month Medical Suspension]
-Honda took a gigantic Whitemist Bomb from Urani Whitemist in the main event for Sakura Pro Episode 2. Honda was reportedly furious in the locker room, and threw a medic into the wall with her good arm before calming down and receiving care. It appears that Honda's shoulder took the worst of the fall, and will require three months minimum to fully heal before doctors will clear her again.

UCSS shoot style action returns this Friday to the Senatorial Office with an Openweight title defense!



UCSS: Combat Horizon - Wong vs. Daley
Friday, June 28 following ZIP Japan at the Hippodrome at the Beltway Full Contact Martial Arts Center in Washington D.C.

Main Event: UCSS Openweight Title Bout
Gang Wong(C) vs. Aoife Daley
Originally scheduled for Lariats and Legislators #8, but postponed due to the Andronicus Turner debut and Daley's involvement in Team Senator. Gang Wong has been a standout champion since dethroning Thiago Gracie to become the second ever UCSS Openweight Champion. Wong's striking is undoubted after his performance against Turner, but Daley's recent victories over Renate Barlowe have done nothing but impress. Will her one shot power defeat Wong's speed?

Standard Tag Rules
The Limbtakers (Ruthless Nicole Alger and Candace Monroe(Phoenix Rising)) vs. Bemba's Court (Renate Barlowe and Esther Musambi)(Pan African Wrestling)
A tough challenge for both teams, with Phoenix Rising's Limbtakers looking to take on the two members of King Bemba's newly assembled "Royal Court," picking up Renate Barlowe from the remnants of Golden Touch Promotions and adding Kenya's Esther Musambi, a promising new prospect.

Kickboxing Rules
Dangerous Nicholas Alger vs. Andronicus Turner
This one came about, once again, due to "Big Banter" Rory Banner engaging in his usual talk, stating that Alger was "past a prime he never possessed" and that "no washed up geriatric desk jockey could ever last a single round with Turner in his natural environment." Alger, never one to let his better judgement override his temper, accepted the bout against the HONOO standout.

Roy Carter(Warrior Pro) vs. Anwar Omar(Pan African Wrestling)
Roy Carter was apparently looking for a challenge in UCSS when he sent Commissioner Alger a simple message: "Give me some arms to break."  DNA promptly called up Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi, Pan African Promoter, and got him to send the Somailan Survivor, Anwar Omar over to answer the call.

Mackenzie Bergeron vs. Daniel Ness
An interesting matchup between Bergeron, a Canadian catch wrestler specializing in leg locks and Ness, a trainer from the Dwight Gym and a former NCAA top level freestyle competitor. Ness has been plagued by injuries for the past decade, but can still work on the mat, while Bergeron's seemingly lax training mentality masks his old school dedication.

"Big Banter" Rory Banner vs. Jamie Tomasi
Banner, as is well known at this point, talks his way into multiple fights in the course of a day. This one came about with Banner repeatedly posting derogatory comments about Thiago Gracie on social media, calling him a "quitter who took his ball and went home the moment he was exposed." Gracie has not competed since losing his UCSS Openweight title to Gang Wong, but his top student, Jamie Tomasi answered Banner, and released a harsh statement, saying that "Banner is all talk, he thinks he's entitled to everything because everyone hands him what he wants when he asks for it. But the only thing I'm handing him is his own arm after I break it off, the way Thiago taught me!"

Standard Showcase Tag Rules
Marcos Angulo, Johnny Sixname(TIPWF), Ong Daengsri and Swingin' Suzie vs. Ricky "Violence" Valdez, Anaba Camacho, Francine Francis and Minerva Markovic
Another consequence of a gym argument, with UCSS lead trainer and referee Swingin' Suzie having stepped in to break up yet another expansive melee, and having instead taken a sucker punch from Ricky Valdez as a result. Typical rivals Markovic and Daengsri were blamed again for the initial hostilities, and Marcos Angulo has called upon old ally, Johnny Sixname for some extra assistance.

Count Savage vs. Jumbo Joseph Butt
Count Savage's latest claim is that his secret style can nullify being at a size disadvantage, and even turn it against a larger foe. Joseph Butt, having heard this, decided to challenge Savage on his statement, saying "size DOES matter, an' I got plenty of it!"
