The Senatorial Office: Open for Business!!

RESULTS

Lightning Pro - Homecoming Tour Finale 11-1-19
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, November 1st, at the Kyoto Central Gymnasium in Kyoto, Japan

Bonus Match
Naoka Takemura vs. Cutie Booties(ZIP Japan)

Quickly becoming one of L-Pro's most recognizable talents, Naoka Takemura threw a GPC/Sam Hall-esque fit at not being booked. Lightning Pro management put her on in a bonus match as such, against ZIP Japan's big headed German-Anime-ese kickboxer. Takemura's sadistic style kept her in the game with constant submission work and rough followups, but Cutie's ZIP heritage saw her through, a big triple spin kick combination sealing the deal.

Main Event: Victorious Tag Medal Bout
The Apocayptic Warriors(Masa Tokugawa and Ai Tanaka)(C) vs. The Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto)

The Warriors put on a fine effort in their attempt to defend their belts, but it seemed as if there was a slight disconnect in their ring awareness, multiple Apocalyptic Knees landing in the wrong corner and eventually, Crusher Honda gained a modicum of revenge on Masa Tokugawa by planting him with a Pole Shift Flowsion for the win.

X-Kira(PEWA) vs. The Outlaw, Sam Hall

Sam Hall wanted to be booked, but it's doubtful he wanted his particular match. X-KIRA made his first L-Pro showing ever in his return to Japan from the PEWA, and utterly obliterated Hall, slamming him with light tubes(hello, Tomas) and blasted him with urakens and other hard strikes before a Final Powerbomb finished the match.

UCSS Rules
Ayako Miyamoto with Mr. Nobunaga vs. Sanem Becker(UCSS) with Rory Banner(UCSS)

Inexplicably reordered on the card, and with Mr. Nobunaga showing up in Miyamoto's corner to counter the founder of the Big Banter Brand, Rory Banner showing up in his charge's corner, this match had much to live up to on an already action-packed card. It more than exceeded those expectations, with Miyamoto and Becker waging an intense, yet intricately technical grappling battle, the Turkish-German newcomer showing a slight advantage early on. As Miyamoto started fighting back into the match, Banner started interfering, which seemed to set her off, leading to multiple German suplexes out of the ring. Becker held on through the onslaught and landed an exploder suplex with Miyamoto just barely missing the ten count to recover. Outstanding showing by both sides.

Keiko Maeda(Phoenix Rising), Rei Hasegawa, Saburo Aoki Jr. and Yuki Okamura vs. The Blue Notes(Miss Bauhaus, Astro Traveler, Josie J. Jett(Wacker Drive Revival) and Eiji "Jay" Sato)

Team Hasegawa held their own in this one, with Keiko Maeda especially standing out for the team, but the experience and skill level of the Blue Notes was on another level, an it showed, with the Astro Traveler landing his Astro Fly flipping arm slam on Aoki Jr. to net the victory.

Michael Ito(Independent) vs. Kosuke "Choppu" Arai

These two veterans slugged it out in one of the best matches of the card, with Ito's crushing lariats and jackhammers matching well against Arai's thunderous chops. In the end, it was Arai who came out ahead, landing a forceful power chop to take a hard earned win, but Ito certainly made an impressive showing.

Preliminary Main Event: Victorious Medal Bout
The Black Dragon(C)(Phoenix Rising) vs. G.P. Christopher

GPC took on the highest profile challenge in his career in this match against the fearsome Victorious Medal holder. He not only held his own, but fought like a man utterly possessed, missing no opportunities to continue his relentless attack, managing to counter his way out of the Dragon's most dangerous attacks, and stunningly, finished the match by stoppage following a Destiny Driver that left the most decorated wrestler in the Critical Alliance sprawled out at the end in a shocking, incredible conclusion.

Match of the Night: Ayako Miyamoto vs Sanem Becker
-The UCSS Rules bout was the best match out of a solid show, both women coming away looking stronger after a very competitive, heated contest.
Performer of the Night: George Paul Christopher
-Arguably the biggest upset ever to take place in an Office ring, with the title changing hands, GPC earned this one, with ease.

Injury Report

(While the Office does not release specific injury reports on non-contracted talent, word has it that the Black Dragon will be missing shows in at least the following week, thanks to her injury at the hands of GPC's Destiny Driver.)

---

Following his win, G.P. Christopher was tracked down by Dean Bardo for a backstage interview.

Dean Bardo: So, how does it feel? Was that everything you wanted?

GP Christopher: Everything and more! Nobody thought I could get a title match in the Preliminary Main Event! Nobody thought I could even survive a match with the Black Dragon! Hell, nobody thought I'd ever make it as a pro wrestler back in the PEWA, and nobody certainly thought this poor scrawny kid from the Philly hood would be a star in Nihon!

Bardo: You had a gameplan against the Dragon, and carried it out flawlessly, explain your approach, if you will.

GPC: Man, I just figured Dragon eats people alive if they take a breath. I thought, either I keep taking my best shot until she drops or I drop, and you saw what happened!

Bardo: The condition of the Black Dragon is unknown at this time, do you have any words for her?

GPC: Yeah, we all do this thing here looking to win the match. I'm not one of those people who enjoys hurting opponents, injuring them, that's not me. If it happens, it's part of the game, but it's not something I try to do. So yeah, Dragon, hope you're good back there, and when you're ready, meet me again in the Preliminary Main Event, here in Kyoto, or back there in the Northwest, and we'll roll this again. I'll be a fighting champion with this Victorious Medal. But if I'm gonna defend this thing, I want a definitive victory next time, no stoppages, a three count or a tapout. That way, nobody questions that I'm worthy of this Medal. And after that, ALEXANDER, you get yourself ready! Tarkhan, Honda, anyone wants to follow him, the King of the Openers is ready for you all!

A gaggle of women peek through the door, pushing around each other to get a look at the new champion.

GPC: Sorry, Dean, but the GP Club is here and ready to make Kyoto the New Party Capital of the world. Duty calls...

---

Directly after Sanem Becker's win, Becker and her manager, "Big Banter" Rory Banner are seen backstage at the press table.

Rory Banner: I made my promise that the Big Banter Brand was in the process of changing the landscape, and as you all witnessed tonight, my words once again were verified. Andronicus Turner will continue to recover, and will assuredly dominate when he does, but for now, all eyes will focus on Sanem Becker. Tonight, she proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is everything I promised, and now I make a simple demand. Miss Becker, Thiago Gracie, UCSS Openweight Title. You heard my words, Nicholas Alger. I expect you to properly respond in due measure.


---

Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto did not leave the ring after their Victorious Tag Medal victory. Instead, Honda called for the microphone.

Crusher Honda: (Translated from Japanese) <How does that feel now, Masa Tokugawa? Did you think I would forget the time you knocked me out with that knee? Did you think you could do that again? You thought wrong! I have always hated you! And next time we meet, maybe the "end times" will be for your career! But for now, I took your little medals! I put you down! And now you can watch while we break everything in this place!>

Wrecker Yamamoto: <Little Ai Tanaka thinks she can be a champion, does she? How cute! How pathetic!>

Honda: <We are the Victorious Champions! Nobody will stop us now!>

At this moment, two sizable individuals appear on the entrance ramp. Although obscured by the bright spotlight behind them, the thirty seconds of flexing gives them away.

Adonis Avery Alexander: Hey, I don't understand a word you two are saying, but what I came out here to say is that the Muscle Machines are sick and tired of sitting around here, waiting for our shot! And we're certainly not going to let two overweight, chunky women hold onto our titles for long.

Gary Gear: Uh, really? Yeah, he said that, not me! But what I will say is that we want a shot at your Medals on the next tour! We'll do whatever we have to do to get them!

AAA: We'll run you two over like a train plowing over a big fat bloated cow on the tracks. We'll take your best shot and smash you through the mat, isn't that right, Gary?

Gary: Yeah, Fear Gary Gear!

Honda: Oh, you talk English in my ring? You talk about trains? Little man, I am the Murder Train, and you are the cow! When we're done, we'll smear your guts all over Kyoto! You wanted it, you'll get it!

Wrecker: <We'll break you into tiny little pieces!>

AAA: Yeah, whatever you said, whatever.

Senatorial Office Rankings for November ‘19



1. King Bemba [Last Month: N/A]
An incredible run during the span of the Pan African Tour secured a promised #1 spot for the Destroyer. Bemba's PWR Internet title victory over Brayden Sutton, win over Evergreen's Kantar and dominance over the Pan African Championship make him the Office's most powerful presence.

2. G.P. Christopher [Last Month: N/A]
The King of the Openers scored one of the biggest upset victories in wrestling history with his Victorious Medal win over Phoenix Rising's Black Dragon.

3. Lil' Lariato [Last Month: 2]
Continuing his rise to stardom, Lariato has gone 1-1 with the nearly unbeatable Doc Wyatt and has been a proud TIPWF Lone Star champ.

4. Colossus Rhodes[Last Month: 4]
Is anyone more intimidating in all of pro wrestling? Rhodes's victory over the Galastream's Hyper Earth in Golden Touch and a string of improbably strong wins on the independents keep the giant in the top five.

5. Mina Fitsharris [Last Month: N/A]
Based largely on her run in OASIS, Mina has regained her form in singles competition, and is easily one of the hardest opponents in all of pro wrestling to defeat.

6. Thiago Gracie [Last Month: N/A]
Winning the UCSS Openweight title back from Gang Wong, Thiago Gracie's return from his sabbatical was a triumphant one.

7. Salvador Sosa [Last Month: N/A]
Sosa's Dominican Golden Championship victory over primary rival, Colossus Rhodes and many of SFW's top stars put him back on the rankings in a big way.

8. Downtown Lucy Brown [Last Month: 11]
A PEWA Extreme Title victory and an impressive defense over the great Jack Fury put Brown in the top ten, even if she did lose the belt in a surprise challenge against Young Blood.

9. Tomas the Tiny Giant [Last Month: N/A]
Tomas may not hold any gold at the moment, but his consistently powerful victories and popular status in the wrestling world keep him hanging onto the top ten.

10. Crusher Honda [Last Month: 10]
Having returned to action and regaining her presence around the Critical Alliance, Honda could well retake a spot in the top five if she maximizes her current opportunities.

11: Sir Vladimir Henry [Last Month: N/A]
Solid wins in the PEWA, including a truly impressive win over the legendary OG-FPD vampire, Jakob of Furis, have catapulted Henry into the top fifteen.

12. Cowboy Johnston [Last Month: 7]
Johnston has been slightly inconsistent, but arguably better than he was at the time of the last rankings release. His upcoming marriage to Hailey Comet might keep him busy enough to finally miss out on the next rankings.

13. Young Blood [Last Month: 3]
Perhaps a controversial pick, as Young Blood spent a large part of the time period since the last rankings with a severe injury issued from a jobber, but his triumphant return and reclamation of the PEWA Extreme title keeps him in the top fifteen.

14. Jean-Pierre Mutombo [Last Month: 1]
Massive drop for JPM, who lost his top spot and Pan African Championship but still put on some impressive showings on the Pan African Tour.

15. Wesley Rakoto [Last Month: N/A]
A debut for the Madagascar native, who impressed on the Pan African Tour and Pro Wrestling Revival alike.



Bumped Off

5. El Froggy Mask
6. Gang Wong
8. Masa Tokugawa
9. Aoife Daley
12. Rodeo Angel
13. Princesa Torbellina
14. Gorilla Power
15. Sam Hall

A veritable list of stars missed out this time around, with Rodeo Angel and Masa Tokugawa falling in spite of active, successful recent runs.



Close Calls
Roland Chang III, ALEXANDER, Valentina Verda, Wrecker Yamamoto, Felice Santana, Johnny Sixname, Humberto Ortega, Joseph Harpo, Mr. Moonsault, Freight Train McMichaelson, The Everyman, Miss Bauhaus


Not Ever Happening
Stanford Bradley
'Nuff said.


Team Rankings

1. The Wild Women [Mina Fitsharris, Juliette Erving, Annie Chang] [Last Month: 3]
Having branched out into OASIS with their friend CiCi Reno and having won the PEWA Extreme titles, the Wild Women are sitting pretty on top of the rankings.

2. The Bingo Hall Mutants [Rampage Rage and Skullface Killah] [Last Month: 1]
Total dominance in Evergreen before meeting the nuclear option team of Kantar and Tasharun, solid showings back home and serving as the heart and soul of PEWA all kept the Mutants high up.

3. The Internationale [Joseph Harpo, Stakhonovite Warrior, Humberto Ortega and Sarita Jean Watkins] [Last Month: N/A]
The current Wacker Drive holders of The Loop have been solid champions and have had a notable presence in Pro Wrestling Revival.

4. The Neon Knights [Supernaut, Holy Diver and Hija de Holy Diver] [Last Month: 5]
The Knights may not be the unstoppable dynamos that they were early on, but the trio still remain in the upper echelon, especially considering their showings in the Galastream.

5. The Destructive Duo [Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto] [Last Month: N/A]
As much a pick given for reputation as for concrete accomplishments, the Duo regained their Victorious Tag Medals in L-Pro and look to once again take the world by storm.


Bumped Off


The Roland Chang Trio [Roland Chang Senior, Roland Chang Junior and Roland Chang III] [3]
The Egyptian Dynasty [Mohammad Ramses and Nefertiri] [4]

The Changs dropped off the list mostly due to RC III focusing on singles action and the Dynasty simply didn't work very often as a team.

[LankyLefty17]

During a press call discussing the upcoming Warrior Pro Wrestling shows for November, a reporter mentioned the release of the Office Rankings to current World Heavyweight Champion Doc Wyatt.  The reporter asked Doc if he had seen them, when he said no the reporter passed along a copy...

What... this is ridiculous.  I have a question for you all.  How is Doc Wyatt not on this list?  I held the Lone Star title.  I beat Cowboy Johnston.  I beat Lariato.  I beat Johnny Sevennames.  How am I not on this list?  What would it have to take?  Do I need to beat Mamba #5?  And what in the world is that midget doing so high up on that list.  He lost his last match.  How is he ahead of Colossus?  That man held up half a Texas promotion in a locker room by himself while I beat up Cogburn's favorite boys.  That's way more impressive than Captain Opening Act beating Poop Dragon.  Midas was right, this place is run by numbskulls.  I can't wait to see Roy Carter ruin old ass Cowboy's wedding by beating Lariat... again.  Next question.

[Senator Phillips]

Santana Family Wrestling roars into November with an exciting card, featuring talent from Wrestle Parade, A.X.E., the return of the brother-sister rivalry between Felix III and Felice, and a killer six man tag match in the main event!



Santana Touring Festival, November, '19
Friday, November 15th at 8:00 PM (CT) at the Auditorio de Pedro Santana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Main Event
Colossus Rhodes, Izcoatl Hernandez, Poison Froggy Mask and Julio Rivera vs. Felix Santana Jr., Salvador Sosa, El Froggy Mask and Diego Guerrero(Lucha POWER)
Once again, the ties between the Dominican Golden Champion, Salvador Sosa and the Santana Family remain strong, with Sosa teaming up with Felix Junior, long time Santana ally El Froggy Mask and Lucha POWER's dynamic Diego Guerrero, going up against the overbearing Rudo EX team of Colossus Rhodes, the vicious Itzcoatl Hernandez, Poison Froggy Mask and the unpredictable Julio Rivera

Felix Santana Sr. vs. Rey de la Carne(Wrestle Parade)
A match teased on the independent scene, El Padrino and the son of the legendary Mega Meat will do battle in the penultimate match on the card. Word has it that Felix Senior was irritated at Rey's antics, and is looking to teach his younger opponent a lesson, while de la Carne will be sure to entertain the crowd in Santo Domingo.

Date Night in the Dominican
Very Canadian(Canadian Grizzly and Megan Chabot) vs. Senora Conquistadora and Diego Santana
The Canadian duo of the Rudo Army team up against Rudo EX's top couple, with both sides bringing ample technicality and athleticism to bear.

Battlestar Galacticat(Blackrose/A.X.E.) vs. Princesa Torbellina
The amusingly named Galacticat made a solid debut on A.X.E. on Tuesday night, scoring a massive upset over Gran Dorado Dios Jr. She will look for another win against the Princesa in this bout, but Torbellina's fast, agile attack might present more problems than expected.

Moonman vs. Luchador Sorpresa
The only thing more mysterious than Moonman is his unknown opponent in this match, Luchador Sorpresa, the actual ring name of his scheduled foe.

Felix Santana III vs. Felice Santana
Once again, Felix III and Felice match up to determine who Felix Santana Junior's superior offspring is at this point in time. Felice may have a bit of frustration to take out, after being the first elimination in a Proving Ground battle royale on Monday, while Felix III might just be looking to make a strong impression again on a televised match.

[Senator Phillips]

A quick reminder that SFW runs tonight at 8:00 PM CT on the Senatorial Streaming Service: www.twitch.tv/senatorphillips

[LankyLefty17]

SPOILER: Click to show

Awesome show.  SFW is probably my favorite Office promotion outside of TIPWF (for selfish reasons, cue Doc Wyatt's music).  Moonman was his typical over self, the Senior vs Rey match and that finish was excellent, and the main event was as lucha as it gets.  Glad Diego held his ground, and if we're not headed to another Rhodes vs Sosa match I'm going to have a bone to pick with someone....

[Senator Phillips]

Well, that was just plain fun, all together. Many thanks for everyone who showed up, who contributed edits, and who helped make this one of my favorite shows I've run all year.

RESULTS

Santana Touring Festival, November, '19
Friday, November 15th at 8:00 PM (CT) at the Auditorio de Pedro Santana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Bonus Match
Texas Rose(Highway Outlaw Wrestling) vs. Margarita Morales

A surprise match was broadcast after the main event, with the Sturgis based Highway Outlaw Wrestling sending in its star, Texas Rose to do battle with the Sultry Assassin, Margarita Morales. Both women took a similar methodical approach, putting on what was easily the most technical, mat based match of the night. In the end, Rose was able to score the pinfall with a modified crucifix pin to conclude an impressive night of wrestling.

Main Event
Colossus Rhodes, Izcoatl Hernandez, Poison Froggy Mask and Julio Rivera vs. Felix Santana Jr., Salvador Sosa, El Froggy Mask and Diego Guerrero(Lucha POWER)

The main event did not disappoint, even with an outstanding card underneath it, and enough star power for a whole show on the two teams. As expected, Colossus Rhodes was the focal point, changing the complexion of the match every time he tagged in, while the Santana Coalition did everything in its power just to keep him at bay, including El Froggy's approach to whip him to the ropes and leapfrog as much as possible. In the end, it was Salvador Sosa who made the real difference, suplexing Rhodes to the outside at one point, and surprising the big man with a rollup for a standout victory

Felix Santana Sr. vs. Rey de la Carne(Wrestle Parade)

Felix Senior, legend that he is, invited Rey de la Carne into his company's ring to teach a lesson. The result was one of the best matches on the card, with Senior turning back the clock twenty years to demonstrate the classical Santana style of Lucha Libre. Alas, for El Jefe, the lesson here was not to be taught by Senior, but to be learned, as de la Carne went move for move with his opponent, and after proving his skills, decided to spice the match up with his trademark antics. Senior, prideful as he can be, did not endure Rey's more, well, entertaining side with dignity, and would end up smothered by the Carne de Res Especial, aka, a face squat, a finish that would resound in the Auditorio de Pedro Santana with equal degrees of laughter and cheers. Felix Senior left the ring without a word, but would later post a gracious congratulatory video on social media.

Very Canadian(Canadian Grizzly and Megan Chabot) vs. Senora Conquistadora and Diego Santana

One of the best matches of the night, with both teams leaving it all in the ring. All four competitors had their chance to shine, and did so, several times over. With nearfalls and brawls all over the ring, it was Canadian Grizzly who scored the win over Diego Santana with a nearly perfectly executed German(Canadian) Suplex. Word has it that Digital Dave Doolittle is considering this a likely candidate for his Match of the Year honors.

Battlestar Galacticat(Blackrose/AXE) vs. Princesa Torbellina

A quality week for the newcomer from A.X.E. with BattlestarGalacticat winning in style in her new home, and traveling to the Dominican and putting on a solid match with the Princesa. While the Cat eventually lost to a Fire Star Splash from Torbellina, she showed a well rounded skillset and charisma to boot.

Moonman vs. Luchador Sorpresa

A match that entertained the crowd from bell to bell, Moonman's star continues to rise in SFW, carrying the match, surviving a top rope Spanish Fly from the debuting Luchador Sorpresa before finally finishing with a Moon Valley Driver into a moon drop pin. A solid debut from Sorpresa, but this was Moonman's showcase, and he delivered.

Felix Santana III vs. Felice Santana

The sibling rivalry delivered once again, and while Felice was far from unimpressive, even taking her foe to the outside with a frankensteiner, it was Felix III's focus and tenacity that defined the match, eventually leading to a Santana Slam fireman carry slam finish.

---

Match of the Night: Felix Santana Senior vs. Rey de la Carne / Very Canadian vs. Rudo EX
-One of the toughest shows in Office history to pick a definitive winner for this award, and a rare tie has been issued. Even so, almost every match on the card could have made a case for this award, it just so happened that Felix Senior and Rey de la Carne had one of the better matches in the entire year for the Office, and the tag match was possibly the best tag bout of the year.

Performer of the Night: Moonman
-Despite working on the undercard, the Man from the Moon may well have had the most significant showing on the entire show, dazzling with his unique brand of charisma, and will almost certainly be seen in a higher profile setting the next time around.

Injury Report

Felix Santana Senior: Injured Pride (No Medical Suspension)

TIPWF - The Wedding of Hailey Cogburn and Stanley Johnston
Friday, November 22, 8:00 PM (CT) at the Stockade in Amarillo, TX

Main Event: Wrapping up the Loose End
Cowboy Johnston and Hailey Comet vs. Colossus Rhodes(Santana Family Wrestling)
Commissioner Callahan's wedding present to the couple: a match with Colossus Rhodes. Amazingly, this was not just accepted, but welcomed with open arms, following Rhodes's role in assisting the Jackson Hole Outlaws on a recent TIPWF show in ambushing Johnston, Lariato and Duke Cogburn by blocking off the locker room. This included an infuriated Hailey Comet, and the two will look to find some retribution before heading back to the reception hall for their ceremonies...hopefully, fully intact.

The Match for the Rubber Match
Lil' Lariato vs. Roy Carter(Warrior Pro)
After losing to Doc Wyatt in Warrior Pro on a title shot, setting their record at 1-1, Lariato demanded a rematch. Instead, Wyatt proclaimed that the TIPWF Lone Star Champion will have to earn his chance by beating Roy Carter, one of his fellow Jackson Hole Outlaws. Lariato has claimed that he wants his match regardless of the outcome here, but will still look to deliver a beating to Carter.

Brayden Sutton(PWR) and Lance Marshall(Phoenix Rising) vs. The Jackson Hole Outlaws(Red Masterson and Byron Worthy)(Warrior Pro)
Both outraged by the Jackson Hole invasion into the TIPWF, Pro Wrestling Revival's star, Brayden Sutton and Phoenix Rising's ever-popular Lance Marshall looked to strike back, each proclaiming their support for Johnston and decided to team up. Red Masterson and Byron Worthy have shown their quality as of late, and despite the high profile and proven ability of their foes, the two will almost certainly hold their own.

Holy Diver vs. Wataru Nakajima(ZIP Japan)
The Neon Knights decided for a change of pace for this show, with Diver taking on fellow veteran of the ring, the former Old Guard Champion, ZIP Japan's legendary Patriarch, Wataru Nakajima.

The Roland Chang Trio(Roland Chang Sr, Roland Chang Jr, Roland Chang III) vs. The EWO(Vice Versa, Valentina Verda and Martina Martinez)
A longstanding feud in the TIPWF, with the Chang Trio promising a shot at their Lone Star Trios belts should the Exotico World Order pull off a win here.

Misterio Guerrero vs. Supernaut
A battle of two mysterious dynamos, with Supernaut's high flying up against Guerrero's mix of power and speed.

LSA(Carolina Anole(OASIS) and La Axoltl) vs. Hija de Holy Diver and Rodeo Angel
The team of LSA has been one of the most promising stories of the OASIS roster in past months, and the two will get to demonstrate their cohesive quality here against a makeshift team of Hija de Holy Diver, taking a break from the Neon Knights to team up with typical rival, Rodeo Angel in what should be a fast paced tag match to open the show.

A relevant World Wrestling Daily Digest report from 10-16-17

-Fans spotted Cowboy Johnston driving away in his pickup truck with fellow Office member Hailey Comet at the end of his match. Usually a team player, Johnston was recently heard to voice his infatuation with an unknown woman. Perhaps we've found her identity. In any case, Johnston's dominant performance bought him some extra leeway with the Office.

And while I'm digging up old things connected to Hailey:

Senatorial Office News Roundup

UCSS
-Thiago Gracie will take on Francine Francis in defending his UCSS Openweight Title at the next televised event. Word has it that Rory Banner is pushing for his newest Big Banter Brand protege, Sanem Becker to receive a shot at the title against the winner. There has also been talk about a potential UCSS Grand Prix one night tournament to take place on a future event.

Wacker Drive Revival
-ZIP Japan's Blue Destiny team will be the next challengers for The Loop. WDR promoter, Big Robert Montgomery has recently stated that he has been pleased with the Internationale's run with the championship, in spite of the relative difficulty the group presents at times, citing their profile outside WDR, including a popular run in Pro Wrestling Revival. Montgomery also stated a desire to continue to feature pop star Miss Bauhaus on future shows, and congratulated Freight Train McMichaelson for his improbable career revival, including a match of the year candidate victory on Port City Pro.

Pan African Wrestling
-There is talk of a Pan African Wrestling show to take place sometime in the next few months, likely to be held in London, England. The reports stem from a series of contractual agreements with OASIS confirming the participation of Kairi Practer and Jemila Kali for an event.

Lightning Pro
-G.P. Christopher has said in a recent interview with Japanese publication, Weekly Pro Wrestling that he wants to be the busiest man in pro wrestling, and wants to defend his Victorious Medal against the Black Dragon at the earliest opportunity. He also revealed that he was contacted by the PEWA to appear at the PEWA 20 event, and confirmed that he accepted the offer. In other news, ALEXANDER has stated that he is tired of waiting for his opportunity, and has set a truce with his long time rival Tarkhan the Mangler, with the two setting their sights on winning both the Medal and the Victorious Tag Medals.

Santana Family Wrestling
-Despite losing to his debut against Moonman, Luchador Sorpresa has issued a challenge for Salvador Sosa's Dominican Golden Championship. Sosa downplayed the challenge on a recent Rudo Dispatch podcast, stating that he would only accept if Sorpresa defeated El Hijo de Macchiato, and that his preferred opponents would be Felix Santana III or Princesa Torbellina based off their recent wins.

PEWA
-The list of names contacted by the PEWA for the December 20th anniversary show has become gargantuan. With names throughout the PEWA's history signed for the celebratory event, including every living wrestler who participated in the original PEWA event in 1999, it's been said that the card is looking to be the biggest in scale and profile in the organization's history and will be treated as equal to a Lariats and Legislators event by the Senatorial Office, potentially extending to a two day broadcast.

The Cogburn Ranch released a statement, with TIPWF Lone Star Champion, Lil' Lariato, Cowboy Johnston, Hailey Comet and Duke Cogburn all present.

Lil' Lariato: First, let me be the one to congratulate these two stupid happy lovers here, and let me say that their wedding's gonna be the real deal, a heartfelt reveal, something we can all feel. You guys are family to me, straight up, and nobody's dividing that, got that! So I'm holdin' down the fort here, you two have yourselves the best time you can.

Duke Cogburn: I'd be happier for this knucklehead and my daughter over here if they weren't so stubborn that they had to fight that jackass Rhodes right before they walk down the aisle.

Hailey Comet: Daddy, don't say you don't understand, because there was no way I was going off on my honeymoon before we settled that score! Watching all y'all get pummeled in that ring while I couldn't even get outta that backstage, I couldn't let that stand!

Cowboy Johnston: Ah, come on, Duke, no way ah'm lettin' Colossus Rhodes do anythin' to mah Hailey out there! 'Sides, Hailey wouldn't shuddup 'bout it 'til ah agreed t' do this! You know how stubborn she can be!

Duke: I get it. But that doesn't mean I like it.

Lariato: Anyway, just got a few more words here. Doc Wyatt, you best not be putting all these roadblocks between the rubber match. Because it doesn't matter if I beat Roy Carter or not, I'm still comin' back over there for your belt, to settle things for once and for all. But don't think for a second, I'm planning on anything but putting the hurt on Mr. Carter. Thing is, I'm not looking to win, lose or draw. That's not what I'm playing, Friday. I'm not playing the wrestling game. I'm playing the pain game. And we're gonna hear a spinal crack, I'm turning the knob up to infinity, that's what you're gonna see, 'cause you can't handle this intensity. This is my world here, this is my turf, but all you'll know is fear, when they lay you in the Earth. Meet me right here, 125 Wayne Drive, it'll be the last place they see you alive!

RESULTS

TIPWF - The Wedding of Hailey Cogburn and Stanley Johnston
Friday, November 22, 8:00 PM (CT) at the Stockade in Amarillo, TX

Main Event: Wrapping up the Loose End
Cowboy Johnston and Hailey Comet with Duke Cogburn vs. Colossus Rhodes(Santana Family Wrestling)

Johnston and Comet came dressed for their wedding, as they sought a last-minute retribution against the mighty Colossus. While the two on one handicap would generally guarantee the advantage, Rhodes struck fear into the crowd, and the couple as he powerbombed Cowboy on the outside, and more than held his own against both through much of the match. But even a giant can only do so much, and as his stamina fell off, Johnston put everything he had into an Amarillo Sunset, and seeing Rhodes stand right back up, would then catch him in the Borderline Breaker standing arm trapping wristlock to end the match and head to the reception hall for the wedding.

Lil' Lariato with Duke Cogburn vs. Roy Carter(Warrior Pro)

True to his word, Lariato seemed much more intent on trying to remove Carter's head with a lariat than he did in seeking the pinfall. This tactic backfired in the end, as Carter's patient technicality would eventually lead to a flying armbar win, managing to outlast the Lone Star champ.

Brayden Sutton(PWR) and Lance Marshall(Phoenix Rising) vs. The Jackson Hole Outlaws(Doc Wyatt and Byron Worthy)(Warrior Pro)

Sutton and Marshall arrived ready to deal out punishment, and did just that for much of this bout, Sutton opening Doc up and Marshall trying to drive him through the mat. The Outlaws found some difficulty in building momentum, despite an impressive piledriver and spear combination between Wyatt and Worthy. When it seemed that they were on the verge of defeat, Doc Wyatt did what he's done so many times in the past, and caught Sutton in a figure four to run away with the victory.

Holy Diver vs. Wataru Nakajima(ZIP Japan)

The two veterans kept up a solid pace, but it was clearly the time proven power of Nakajima that allowed him to get the best of Diver, finishing with an emphatic head hold lariat.

The Roland Chang Trio(Roland Chang Sr, Roland Chang Jr, Roland Chang III) vs. The EWO(Vice Versa, Valentina Verda and Martina Martinez)

The crowd was highly invested here, largely cheering on the EWO and their colorful antics. Roland Chang III was a standout in the match, and while Roland Senior was subjected to the indignity of a Valentina Verda liplock, he would also be the one to gain the victory, using a classical Wrangler Clutch(known as the Gedo Clutch elsewhere) on Martina Martinez, a result that was less than favorably recieved by many in attendence.

Misterio Guerrero vs. Supernaut

A fast paced shot of adrenaline, Guerrero and Supernaut turned on the afterburners from the start, trading kicks and high impact moves until Supernaut's second Spiral Architect cannonball senton put his opponent away.

LSA(Carolina Anole(OASIS) and La Axoltl) vs. Hija de Holy Diver and Rodeo Angel

A fine competitive bout, with the team of LSA showing superior tag skills through much of the duration, but Rodeo Angel has always proven herself adept at finding a way to win, and did so here, rolling up Carolina Anole.

---

Match of the Night: Roland Chang Trio vs. EWO
-While there weren't any outright duds, there were few standout matches on the card, and as such, the Changs and the Exoticos gain this award by means of putting on a consistently entertaining contest.

Performer of the Night: Cowboy Johnston and Hailey Comet
-Perhaps somewhat unfair to give the two an award for winning a two on one handicap bout, but this award will be considered a wedding gift of a sort. And even in these circumstances, a win over Colossus Rhodes is always an accomplishment to some degree.

While the Johnston-Cogburn wedding ceremony reportedly went smoothly for the most part, the reception was another story all together. As so often happens, the wait for the food took entirely too long, with the catering service having met with a delay. Even worse, the DJ was arrested in the parking lot during a smoke break, leading Lil' Lariato to take over on the wheels of steel. This is when things went somewhat upside down.

Lil' Lariato: (On the PA system)
Doc, you dressed for the occasion, but nobody invited you back here,
Sure you pulled off a win, but you got your ass kicked, it's clear
Nobody wants you around here no more
Not us, not your mom, not your five dollar whore!

Lily-Anne Cogburn, a bandage on her face from multiple collisions during her referee duties, walked over to Lariato.

Lily-Anne Cogburn: Dear, much as I appreciate you helping, and as much as we *all* agree with what you're saying...

Lariato: Yeah, Mrs. Cogburn, I get it, got carried away, won't happen again.

At this point the Jackson Hole Outlaws all stood up in unison, flashed middle fingers to all who watched, and walked out of the reception room. Holy Diver, somewhat inebriated, shouted out from his seat.

Holy Diver: Play War Pigs!

Lariato: Nah, man, don't think so, the lady doesn't want that.

Big Bubba Bob, wearing his infamous oversized(and with his size, that's saying something) yellow t-shirt, "Big Lemon" started pounding on his table.

Big Bubba Bob: I'm gettin' hungry, where's the food? Did they forget to feed us or something? Because I'm hungry!

The Everyman: You didn't even work tonight, shut up!

At this point, Valentina Verda walked over from the EWO's table, and tapped Roland Chang Junior on the shoulder.

Valentina Verda: Hey there, that was such a good time, but you heard the people, they love us! And because they, and you love us so much, you're giving us that title match, right?

Roland Chang Junior: Hey, what? You think you earned a shot at our precious trios belts by losing? That just proved you're a bunch of Froot Loop colored losers! See these belts? These belts are for winners, not a bunch of damn sorry losers!

Valentina: Don't lie, you want an excuse to lock lips with me again, just give us the shot!

Roland Chang Senior: I'll have you know my wife received a great deal of amusement out of that.

Bonnie Chang, Roland Senior's wife, merely giggled as she gave Valentina a goofy wave from her seat.

Roland Senior: But I'll also remind you I suffered that so I could win the match, which I did. I respect your team and your skills, but trust me, I do not need to hear my wife laughing at me again anytime soon.

Chang Junior: So go run along and do what you do, lose at life!

Valentina: Maybe I just need to give you a taste of what's to come...

And with those words, Valentina grabbed Roland Junior's head, turning it around into a gigantic kiss, Chang falling back out of his chair as Valentina took him to the floor.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Jack Walker and Misterio Guerrero both jumped up on top of the bar, both clutching several beer bottles.

Jimmy Jack Walker: It's time to get drunk, peoples!

"Long Haul" Lenny Broadway: You're always drunk, you idiot.

Jimmy Jack: It's, uh, time to get even more durnk, peoples!

And while everyone's attention was distracted, Supernaut cued up his phone, and covertly plugged it into the soundsystem, and flipped a few switches and turned a knob, all the way up.

"GENERALS GATHERED IN THEIR MASSES
JUST LIKE WITCHES AT BLACK MASSES
EVIL MINDS THAT PLOT DESTRUCTION
SORCERERS OF DEATH'S CONSTRUCTION"
IN THE FIELDS, THE BODIES BURNING
AS THE WAR MACHINE KEEPS TU-"

An infuriated Duke Cogburn was seen, power cord in hand, while Walt Callahan stood in front of the soundsystem. He started to speak, but instead, shook his head, and gestured for Gunny Lee Hart to walk over. Children in the room were crying and several families had already vacated the premises.

Gunny Lee Hart: Attenhut, you filthy maggots! Everyone here who is here from the TIPWF can kindly stand up right now and reconvene immediately around the ring in the Stockade! Commissioner Callahan will have a word with you all! That is all, at ease, carry on!

In the midst of the entire mess, Cowboy Johnston finally gathered the attention of the people who were left, tapping his glass with a fork.

Cowboy Johnston: Uh, ah gotta say, that was...

Hailey Comet: That was a hellova fun time! There ain't no weddin' like a wrasslin' weddin, right, Stanley?

Cowboy: All ah' wanna say now is that ah'm thankful ah know so many people like you all, 'cause ah can't remember any of mah words from mah speech, after Colossus done dropped me on mah head so many times...

Hailey: Aw, poor darlin.

Cowboy: Ah just remember ah love ya, an, that there's mah speech.

Hailey: That's all?

Cowboy: That's all!

Hailey: That's not much!

Cowboy: Ah got a concussion, from that crazy match you wanted! what more'd ya' want?

Hailey: Hah! Just wanted to see you get fired up, that's all!

Cowboy: An ya got just that! Let's get outta here an enjoy this night fer real!

Hailey: Ain't arguin' with that! Thanks everyone for showing up! See y'all in several months!

And with that, Cowboy and Hailey strolled out of the room, arm in arm. With the TIPWF contingent mostly gone, Duke Cogburn shrugged his shoulders and motioned for everyone to move along.

Duke: Party's over, I guess, move along, we're shutting down.

And thus ended the reception. That is, but for one individual, still sitting alone at his table...

Big Bubba Bob: But, but...the food?

[gambler]

Super fun show! Nice to see the happy couple made it down the aisle. The reception write up was awesome. I can relate with the Neon Knights in that scenario, glad they got to hear some War Pigs.

[Firehawk]

Once the festivities had come to a close, and Lance Marshall (along with Cassandra, who of course had also been in attendance) had returned to his home over in Houston (a two-hour flight at best!) he eventually had some words.

"Before I go gettin' to business... Cowboy and Hailey already heard it in person, but I'm gonna offer up my congratulations for ya' again, anyway. Given how our careers have aligned the past couple years, it's damn good t' see ya' both happy and ready to keep at it together. So ya' enjoy yourselves, for however long ya' decide to be away. God knows I'll be lookin' forward to that return sooner rather than later, but you take your time... enjoy what ya' got goin'.

Now, we turn t' the other half of what I'm lookin' to say, and it ain't quite so pleasant. Lord knows Doc Wyatt's gonna have plenty to say about that win. Slippin' through our fingers once again like the slippery fuckin' devil he's always been. And believe me, Doc... I've been keepin' an eye on ya' for a good while now. Ever since ya' came up our way for that first 49th Parallel, I've been watchin'... seein' that rise to the top in Warrior Pro. Can't rightly call it the rise and fall of Doc Wyatt yet... 'cause for all I know, you got somethin' else hidin' up your sleeve. Championships come and go... the best of us are able t' keep standin' tall even without one.

What I'm tryin' to get to, Doc, is that ya' scored a win that I ain't gonna try and downplay. I had my chances to put you or Byron Worthy down and out, and it didn't happen. And somethin' in the back of my mind knows damn well what the answer's gonna be here... but I'm gonna take the damn shot anyway.

Ya' beat Brayden Sutton. Ya' haven't beaten me. I wanna give ya' a chance to fix that. One-on-one at your leisure, y'know... whenever ya' feel like ya' got the guts to try. Don't matter where it happens. I'll come on down t' San Jose anytime ya' want... you can come runnin' up to the Northwest. We can roll on neutral ground. It don't matter one bit. But one way or another, I intend to settle this. You got plenty of options... at least one I'm suspectin' you'll want to take, because I know how men like you think. But the offer's on the table, Doc.

It's up t' you."

[Senator Phillips]

A rare non-tour L-Pro event featuring two title bouts, a #1 contender's match and a load of notable guests!



Lightning Strikes Once in Nagoya
Friday, November 29 at 8:00 in the North Star Palace Conference Center in Nagoya, Japan

Main Event - Victorious Tag Medal Bout
The Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto)(C) vs. The Muscle Machines(Adonis Avery Alexander and Gary Gear)
The Machines asked for it, and they got it - a direct shot at the Destructive Duo and their freshly won Victorious Tag Medals. Can they bring their power and athleticism to bear, or will Honda and Wrecker run through another team?

Twilight KYUBI(Typhoon Pro) vs. Naoka Takemura
The energetic Kyubi brings her high flying spectacle to the L-Pro ring up against the woman who erroniously believes herself to be the star of the show, Naoka Takemura. Whoever dictates the pace should dominate the matchup, whether it be KYUBI's blinding speed or Takemura's methodical roughhousing.

Western Warfare
"Wild" Wes Wrangler(Wrestle Parade) vs. The Outlaw, Sam Hall
Wes Wrangler was actually contracted to a match in the TIPWF that fell through, but the Office was more than happy to change the terms to give L-Pro a western showdown and a solid matchup for the perpetually complaining Sam Hall.

Victorious Tag Medal #1 Contender Bout
Worldwide Conquest(ALEXANDER and Tarkhan the Mangler) vs. Eiji "Jay" Sato and Kaede Kinshita
Rivals that they might be, ALEXANDER and Tarkhan have declared a temporary truce to form Worldwide Conquest, a team dedicated to the accumulation of gold, and have stated that once they take the Victorious Tag Medals, that they will attempt to follow suit in other organizations. However, they will first deal with the makeshift team of the Bebop Tiger and the Stardust Angel, and while they might be clear underdogs, the two certainly stand a chance between Sato's suplexes and Kinshita's agility.

Satoshi Iguchi(ZIP Japan) vs. Rumika Hashi
The Soaring Sparrow was dissatisfied with Iguchi's typical social media boasts, and invited him to a match in Lightning Pro. The Cutter King may be one of the most innovative offensive wrestlers in Japan, but Hashi's well rounded attack will ensure a competitive bout.

Preliminary Main Event - Victorious Medal Bout
G.P. Christopher(C) vs. The Black Dragon(Phoenix Rising)
In a shocking victory in their last meeting, GPC left the Dragon sprawled on the mat following a Destiny Driver. Dissatisfied with the upset title win of the year, the King of the Openers demanded a rematch upon Dragon's recovery. This match will either lead to a quick, painful end to Christopher's reign, or will catapult him into lasting stardom.
