The Senatorial Office: Open for Business!!

[Senator Phillips]

RESULTS

Golden Touch Promotions #3: Giant vs. Colossus
Friday, December 27th at 8:00 PM (CT) at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington DC

Main Event
Giant The Cement(Desert Pro) vs. Colossus Rhodes with Morgan "Midas" Matthews, Irkalla and Persephone

The top featured bout of the night was seen as a highly anticipated dream match by fans and pundits alike, and fully lived up to the tall expectations placed upon it. Both Giant the Cement and Colossus Rhodes hit each other with their best shots, Rhodes landing the Colossal Bomb after multiple attempts, but it was an enormous cross powerbomb from GTC that would eventually close out a standout match between two of the most dominant big men in the game.

Royce vs. Gracie
Kevin Royce(Phoenix Rising) vs. Thiago Gracie(UCSS)

Nobody was sure what would happen in this meeting of two stylistically opposed competitors, and it ended up working in the favor of Kevin Royce, who trampled Thiago Gracie with little resistence, finishing with an iron claw hold.

Old Guard Challenge
Jim Tarler(Siera Wrestling All-Stars) vs. Johnny Sixname(TIPWF)

Jim Tarler stepped out from Sierra's public relations department for the first time in three years, and endured multiple piledrivers on the floor, a fork attack, kicks to the ribs and sucker punches on his way towards hitting the Blast Bomb sheer drop powerbomb to win a hard earned victory.

Port City Pro Gridiron Grudge Match
Big Bama Ray(PCP) vs. Freight Train McMichaelson(Wacker Drive Revival) w. Astrid Johannson(WDR)

Carrying over a feud from Port City, Freight Train McMichaelson called out Big Bama Ray, and with his girlfriend Astrid Johannson at his side, battled with Ray in a match full of vicious exchanges and hard bitten tough nosed brawling. In the end, though, Freight Train hit his signature tackle to walk away victorious, this time.

Featured Talent
-Dag Boomer(SWA) vs. Neil

The Yellow Devil of the Spike Wrestling Association reportedly cost Morgan Matthews a large hunk of cash, but the money was well worth it, as Dag Boomer crushed Neil in comfortable fashion, finishing with a Boomer Bomb KO.
-The New Humanity vs. Robbie Roberts

The two time Crossfit champion Estaban Vargas, better known as The New Humanity looked nearly invincible against Robbie Roberts, despite missing a shooting star press. A pop up bomb followed by a standing moonsault finished this one.
-Della Dwight w. "Textbook" Tim Dwight vs. Betty Black Boots

The daughter of the well-esteemed Senatorial Office head trainer, "Textbook" Tim Dwight, Della Dwight made her televised wrestling debut against Betty Black Trunks and quite simply had full control of the match en route to a Skyscraper Suplex, her two stage Dragon style suplex.
-Otto "Brick" Casey(Warrior Pro) vs. Jeff

While Jeff seemed to be somewhat stubborn, Brick Casey powered through his defenses in the end with a torture rack.
BattlestarGalacticat(Blackrose) vs. Leslie B.

An easy victory for Galacticat who impressed the crowd with a running knee strike into an elbow drop pin.

---

Injury Report

Neil: Unspecified Neck and Back Trauma (Reportedly out for a minimum of one month)
-While Golden Touch does not allow us the same degree of access to medical reports as the Office does, the word was that Dag Boomer's Boomer Bomb may have jarred something in Neil's neck or back, forcing him out of action for at least a month.

Enjoyed the show, Senator. These Golden Touch shows are a fun watch and full of surprises. Do you plan on uploading Dag Boomer to the workshop?  I'd be interested in seeing your take on the SWA roster. 


Big Bama Ray after his match Freight Train:

SPOILER: Click to show

Well, god dang Freight Train, you wasn't kiddin' about holdin' a grudge. Ya know, when I was growin' up, I loved football more than anythang. I studied the history, and 'member reading about your amazin' first season in the NFL, then your downfall. My dream for my entire life was to play football for Alabama, then play in the NFL. I always had your story in my head. I didn't want to make the same mistakes and fade out too soon. Thing is, I didn't make it to the NFL, and I was bitter for a long time. I thought about guys like you, who had it all, but pissed it all away. That bitterness didn't go away 'til I found pro wrasslin.

When you showed up in PCP,  I didn't think much of it. I thought you was broken down and didn't have it anymore. Ya know, I'm stubborn, but even I can admit I was wrong about you Freight Train. You're still a dangerous man. We went out there tonight, and beat the tar out of each other. I came out on the losing end, that's just how it goes sometimes, but you earned my respect with that win. I know when we team up next week, the other team is in for a long night. But, as far I know we're 1-1 against each other, so whenever that day comes that we meet again, you can bet I'm gonna be ready.

I can certainly confirm that I'll be uploading my SWA reworks, with Dag coming out sooner than later, and plans to redo the entire roster are going to carry through the next few months or so without a doubt.

A long awaited title match, a big time kickboxing match and much more awaits for Universal Combat Shoot Style as it opens up the new year with a kick!


UCSS: Fighting in the New Year
Friday, January 3rd, 2020, following All Time Boxing in our time at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC

Main Event: UCSS Openweight Title Bout
Thiago Gracie(C) vs. Francine Francis
Having earned this chance following a long run of being a reliable hand in the midcard, Francine Francis will seek to thwart Thiago Gracie's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with her own skill on the mats. Gracie, having recently regained his belt, will have to be at his best to overcome the challenge of the former police officer.

Aoife Daley vs. Leona Sterling(Phoenix Rising)
Two fierce, competitive redheaded destroyers meet in this one, with Leona Sterling's steady rise from the Blackwood Academy continuing, and Aoife Daley again looking to build enough momentum for another title shot. While Daley might be the superior striker by a small margin, Sterling's ground skills could be the actual difference maker.

Kickboxing Rules Bout
Andronicus Turner vs. Thunder Fist(ZIP Japan)
Making his return to the UCSS ring following an injury that put him on the sideline for the latter part of 2019, Andronicus Turner will take on a massive challenge as he takes on ZIP Japan's Botswanan Assassin, Thunder Fist in a kickboxing match. While Turner's well-schooled boxing has been amply documented, Thunder Fist's one hit power could potentially turn the tide if Turner slips up at any point.

Battle for Berlin
Sanem Becker with "Big Banter Rory Banner vs. Marcel Muller(SHTCWA)
The Big Banter Brand continues on, with Sanem Becker taking on fellow German, SHTCWA's Marcel Muller. Rory Banner has promised that Becker is on a fast track to the Openweight title, and a win over the dangerous, versatile Muller would make a strong case for such an opportunity.

Gang Wong vs. Ricky "Violence" Valdez
After losing his UCSS Openweight title to Thiago Gracie, Gang Wong has not taken a sabbatical as Gracie did following his initial loss to Wong. Instead, he now looks to build right back up to the top, with a tough fight against one of the most brutal competitors in UCSS. Ricky Valdez should not be overlooked, with his blindingly fast combinations and bag of dirty tricks, Valdez may well earn an upset here.

[Senator Phillips]

The State of the Office, 2020

Senator Steve Phillips: Greetings and salutations to all wrestling fans. Another year has passed and twenty nineteen was a tumultuous, eventful trip around the sun for the Senatorial Office. We nearly tore ourselves in twain as Morgan Matthews and I fought for control. We witnessed the conclusion of the second decade of a Philadelphia institution. We joined in the second, successful tour across the African continent. And all in all, I can confidently say here today that the state of the Office is positive. During the course of this address, I will now turn the podium over to representatives from each of the Affiliate Partners before I speak on the major changes the Office will be undertaking as this year begins.

Philadelphia Extreme Wrestling Alliance

SPOILER: Click to show

Biff Taylor: Hey yo, dudes and dudettes! The Biffmeister is here and happy to say the PEWA is in a good way! We reconnected with basically all of our past and our roster's never, ever been more stacked! We got a problem with our title and our champ, but that's something we can look to be fixin' here. But what I want to talk about here is a few things about the future.

Biff: First off, I'm announcin' the PEWA's joinin' up with Highway Outlaw Wrestling in an official partnership! And we're sendin' some of our roster over to join theirs, since two thirds of their roster recently got arrested...yeah, that ain't cool. But yeah, we figure we got enough folks on our side of things to help them out some. And they might get some time on our brand, too, so it's all cool.

Biff: Next, you saw the Biffmeister kick ass and take names at PEWA 20. That's the last time I do that! So as of now, consider me kaput, finito, done with the wrestling side of things! Also, Bodybreaker Brown an' Hobo Harry are going to help out over at the Dwight Gym as added trainers, but they ain't stoppin' here, so don't worry about that! Yeah, I think that's about it for me here.

Santana Family Wrestling

SPOILER: Click to show

Felix Santana Senior:(Translated from Spanish) <Hello, this is Felix Santana Sr. here and I want to talk about the big time growth of Santana Family Wrestling. We've had a good year. But this next year, we're looking up.>  

Felix Senior: <First off, I forced myself to talk to Midas Matthews and we hammered out a deal. The New Humanity is coming to Santana Family Wrestling. He had an open offer from the Office years ago, well, we're picking up on that, even though he's still contracted to Golden Touch, too, just like Colossus Rhodes. He is considered the best athlete in professional wrestling, and we want to see how he stacks up against our champion, a great athlete in his own right, Salvador Sosa.>

Felix Senior: <Next, we've talked to Wacker Drive Revival, and we're bringing over Gorilla Power, Lila Gila and Super Komodo, the Animal Farm. These three will be major additions to our roster as well. And finally, I want to announce my intention to make a try for signing Della Dwight, who I think will be at home here. While we lose El Experto's backstabbing ways to injury and retirement, we are confident we have more than replaced him on our roster with fresh, interesting talent.>

Texas Independent Pro Wrestling Federation

SPOILER: Click to show

Walt Callahan: I don't have much to say here. We've done well this last year. Lil' Lariato will continue to seek another match with Doc Wyatt of Warrior Pro. The Johnstons will return soon enough, and when they do, Cowboy gets his title shot he earned. We signed Lutadora Festiva, and I know she will entertain the fans. The Exotico World Order will get another shot at the trios belts. And we will probably host an Old Guard tournament at some point. Past that, we're happy with where the TIPWF stands. That's about all I have to say.

Lightning Pro

SPOILER: Click to show

Dean Bardo: While Shima Ito couldn't make it over here, as Lightning Pro's American liasson, I'm happy to be able to do so. L-Pro is excited for the new year, with our champion, GPC seeking opportunities around the world, with the Destructive Duo representing us in other promotions, and the popularity of Rei Hasegawa and Naoka Takemura on social media cannot be denied. We also have what I think is the best crop of contenders any fed has to offer. ALEXANDER will take his shot, Tarkhan will take his, Endo is in line, Hashi, Sato, Hall, we have enough challenges for an entire tour. And as such, we want to petition the Office for our own month of televised broadcasts, much as Pan African Wrestling has, to give the fans a first hand view of what the full L-Pro experience is. We're ready to step up, if the Office is ready to stand with us.

Wacker Drive Revival

SPOILER: Click to show

Big Robert Montgomery: We keep seeming to lose as much as we gain here. Frank Van Sloan left the Action Pack, the Animal Farm's off to the Dominican, it's enough to sing me some blues. But Wacker Drive Revival ain't doin' bad. Speakin' of blue, our champs, Blue Destiny overcame the Internationale, and I couldn't be more proud of either team. Blue Destiny might be ZIP's people, but they're welcome champs here in Chicago. We got a legit star here in Miss Bauhaus, and from what I know, stars attract other stars, so don't be surprised if you get some more big time names showing up from outside our little wrestling world. And last, but not least, we're announcing here that we signed one of the best tag teams of all time, the Goodfellas, Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod to multi year contracts with Wacker Drive. They'll be announcing their complete WDR team in due time. Wacker Drive's still the place to be in 2020.

Universal Combat Shoot Style

SPOILER: Click to show

Dangerous Nicholas Alger: Uh, the UCSS is rolling along. We got Thiago Gracie defending this Friday against Francine Francis, we got a redheaded super fight between Aoife Daley and Leona Sterling of Phoenix Rising. Andronicus Turner's back, trading blows with ZIP's Thunder Fist. And past that, we're just doing what we're doing. Shoot style action. Tag matches. Fans know what they get with UCSS. And I heard Felix Sr. say he wanted Della Dwight. We're going to try to sign her, too. Ok, that's about it for the Dangerous One.

Pan African Wrestling

SPOILER: Click to show

Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi: A happy new year to all of our fans from around the world and back on the Continent! It is I, the Nigerian Ambassador, Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi, and I am excited about what Pan African Wrestling has in store! We always do our month long tour around August to October, but this year, there will be more Pan African action during the rest of the year! Our roster works well fitting into other shows, with Renate Barlowe in UCSS, Anwar Omar in PEWA, King Bemba and Jean-Pierre anywhere they want! We had great success with our London show, and want to do another single event in America, or maybe Canada next! Pan Africa is not just about wrestling, like Jean-Pierre always says, it's about bringing all the people together!

Senator: And thank you all very much for your reports. I cannot delay the inevitable any longer, no matter how much I wish to do so. Over this last year, I have found that maintaining my career in politics combined with the strain of managing the Office have taken their toll on my well-being. Add to that the accumulation of many years in combat sports, and my injuries have not healed as they once did, my workouts have not been as productive, my restless schedule has become unmanageable.

Senator: It is with a heavy heart that I now announce my impending retirement, both from competing within the ring, and from my promotional position with the Senatorial Office.

Senator: At Lariats and Legislators #10, an event that is tentatively scheduled for the middle of February, I will fight for the last time, with an opponent to be announced at a later date. Between then and now, if anyone wishes to stake their claim for a match, I will consider their offers.

Senator: As far as the Office itself goes, I may be stepping away, but as I do, I do so in full confidence. There will be a restructuring in the management upon my departure, and this is something that was long overdue. Instead of a single or two promoters making unilateral decisions, I am now creating a Board of Directors to manage the Office, voting on important decisions and deciding the rankings. At the head of this board, Anthony Kalb will serve as the Chairman with the day to day decisions at his hands and the tie breaking vote in his control. He has been my right hand man for over a decade and will carry out my vision for years to come. Beneath him, twelve Directors will take a seat at the table. These include the lead figures from each of the Affiliates along with a number of other veteran names. A list will be provided at the conclusion of this address.

Senator: In addition to the Office's management taking new shape, the Dwight Gym, our main training institution will do so as well. The venerable "Textbook" Tim Dwight will be managing his daughter, Della Dwight's career in this year, and will pass the head trainer's position to his current assistant, Daniel Ness.

Senator: Finally, the most respected referee in the business, Raymond Allen Fleming will step away from the head referee role. He will become our Director of Rules, sitting on the Board of Directors, and taking responsibility for any necessary development in our rulebook. Replacing him as our chief referee will be a man well known to the Office, Kevin Fitsharris. With the chaos that often follows when his children, Art and Peggy are around the Office, I somewhat wonder if this is a proper decision, but I yet have confidence in Mr. Fitsharris!

Senator: It has been my pleasure and honor to have founded this fine institution and to have competed within it. But it is the time to make these decisions. I will not compete if I cannot do so at my very best. I will do what it takes to ensure both the survival and prosperity of this organiation, of all the Affiliates, and that, my friends, is nothing...but the truth.

[Senator Phillips]

A special thanks to everyone who made this doubleheader come alive with a lively chat scene, that absolutely makes these shows 100x more rewarding to run, without a doubt.

RESULTS

UCSS: Fighting in the New Year
Friday, January 3rd, 2020, following All Time Boxing in our time at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC

Main Event: UCSS Openweight Title Bout
Thiago Gracie(C) vs. Francine Francis

With mutual respect between Gracie and Francis, the main event was simply a solid competitive display. Francis attempted the tactic of working Gracie over with her hammerlock facelock combination hold, and for the first few rounds, it seemed that her survival skills were going to keep her in the match. Gracie, though, is always progressively more dangerous as the match goes along, his armwork taking effect in the late rounds, allowing him the score the victory with his trusty armbar inside the first minute of the fourth round.

Bonus Match: Della Dwight with "Textbook" Tim Dwight vs. Anaba Camacho

A tremendous showing for the hottest free agent in the Office, as she took on the Navajo Suplex Machine, Anaba Camacho. Camacho's suplexes were in full effect, and while Dwight's undeniable athleticism was on display, it seemed that Camacho could well have taken the match, if she didn't go for a superplex attempt that allowed Della to score a three count with a diving splash off the counter. This was absolutely a match that raised the stock of both contestants.

Aoife Daley vs. Leona Sterling(Phoenix Rising)

With Leona Sterling having graduated from the Blackwood Academy, she set her sights high against the Irish Firecracker, Aoife Daley. And despite the difference in experience, Sterling held her own through the first round and stood even into the second. However, Aoife Daley's nickname has been well earned, as she rocked Sterling out of the clinch with a series of short uppers. And yet, Leona Sterling did not give into the void, not immediately, instead, mustering everything she had left into one last kamikaze frenzy, throwing repeated shots with reckless abandon until a back elbow strike put her on the mat near the end of the second round.

Kickboxing Rules Bout
Andronicus Turner vs. Thunder Fist(ZIP Japan)

For a pro wrestler known for having powerful punches, Thunder Fist acquitted himself remarkably well, tactically against the most respected pure boxer on the UCSS roster. Turner found himself cornered and smothered by Fist, who refused to allow any space for the Kronk Gym representative to put his skilled footwork into action. The Botswanan Assassin's gameplan seemed to pay off in the mid rounds as he pummeled the body and struck on the break, but Turner managed to adapt in time by landing his punches out of a headlock. Halfway into the fifth and final round, Andronicus Turner finally scored the TKO finish off the old Thomas Hearns specialty: a stiff straight right.

Battle for Berlin
Sanem Becker with "Big Banter" Rory Banner vs. Marcel Muller(SHTCWA)

Thirty eight seconds. That's all this one took, as Becker snapped Muller down into a double armlock stretch for a flash submission as Rory Banner bantered away at ringside. Utterly startling, especially considering Muller's record and reputation.

Gang Wong vs. Ricky "Violence" Valdez

Forget the high level technique on display, this was more akin to a hate filled bar brawl or a prison fight than a sporting competition, with Wong mimicking Valdez's signature punch flurry at one point, and while Valdez would answer back with one of his own, and with numerous cheap shots, it was the Shaolin Superstar who finished the bout, an explosive kangaroo kick counter that flatted Valdez in the third round for a ten count.

---

Match of the Night: Gang Wong vs. Ricky Valdez
-A heated, vicious meeting between the former champ and the dirtiest fighter in the fed, with obvious contempt mirrored between the two. Don't expect this to be their last meeting. Dwight vs. Camacho and the main event were both respectable bouts, but this one was the clear favorite.

Performer of the Night: Sanem Becker
-A startlingly fast submission victory over one of the most respected ground technicians in the game earned this for Becker. Della Dwight's impressive Office debut and Leona Sterling's bravery in defeat also deserve mention, though.

---

Thiago Gracie: Is good, is normal, victory by armbar. Francis try hard, I have much hespect for her, but in end, all tap to armbar.

---

"Big Banter" Rory Banner: You all witnessed greatness progressing through mediocre surroundings. And now you must all bow down to your superior, Sanem Becker. Nobody in this organization can dare to hope to stand in her way. I told you all this was the truth! And now you see exactly why I am correct, once again. My perfect prognostications are only ignored to your own detriment! You see, my intellect is a cut above the rest, just as Sanem Becker is levels above everyone else in the game. Dangerous Nicholas Alger, it is imperative that you now make the match. Give Sanem her shot, or you merely expose your champion and your organization for the farce that they are!

---

Andronicus Turner: Yeah, that's right. I threw in a little shot at Thunder Fist for thinking he could box with me. No offence, but I don't think I could walk into ZIP and pin him, so why should he think he could box with me? Let's be real, he can punch, and he's stupid strong. But he's playing checkers, while I played chess. Checkmate, Fist.

---

Aoife Daley: I have to hand it to Leona, I don't particularly like her, but I just have to respect her. She's tough as hell and mean as it, too. Thought I had her on the ropes, and she just about takes my head off. So, you want another match again when you're ready, just ask for it, I'll give it to you.

Aoife: I took a shot at the Openweight before, the first time Thiago held it. Maybe the same thing will happen again, and I fall short. But I know I have to earn another shot, I need to earn it, I want to earn it! So, Dangerous Guy, why not give me and that Becker girl a fight, and between the two of us, let's see who's worthy of a shot! I don't care if she taps people out in thirty seconds, twenty seconds, five seconds, three seconds! I have just as good a chance to knock her German ass out cold! So, Dangerous One, you want to see an Irish Firecracker explode? Make me that match, or that's just what you see!

---

Della Dwight: Well...that was pretty fun. Hello, everyone! My name's Della Dwight! I want to make my career here in the Senatorial Office, and it amazes me how many opportunities that I have to start with. I want to thank Nicholas Alger.

"Textbook" Tim Dwight: Dangerous Nicholas Alger, he hates if you leave that off.

Della: Uh, I want to thank Dangerous Nicholas Alger for giving me this match, Anaba Camacho for giving me a great fight, and I hope to see you all here again soon!

[Senator Phillips]

A stacked card opens up the year for Santana Family Wrestling, with a #1 contenders bout between two debuting superstars, a stop on the Senator Phillips retirement tour, a Della Dwight showing, La Familia and much more!


Santana Touring Festival, January '20
8:00 PM (CT), Friday, January 10th at the Auditorio de Pedro Santana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Main Event: Dominican Golden Championship #1 Contender Bout
The New Humanity with El Experto vs. Gorilla Power
The main event will pit two hype driven newcomers to SFW against each other, with the New Humanity announcing his membership into the Rudo EX ranks and Gorilla Power leading the Animal Farm into the fed. The winner fights here for the chance to take on Salvador Sosa at Lariats and Legislators #10 for the Dominican Golden Championship.

Senator Steve Phillips Retirement Tour
Senator Steve Phillips vs. Felix Santana Jr.
Following his retirement announcement at the State of the Office speech, Senator Steve Phillips will look to make one more run across the wrestling world. As such, it only makes sense for Phillips to take on the most respected in ring performer in SFW, and perhaps the Office itself, Felix Santana Jr, with the two sharing common history for over a decade in multiple feds.

Della Dwight with "Textbook" Tim Dwight vs. Felice Santana
The hottest free agent in the Office now looks to try out Santana Family Wrestling, taking on the high flying dynamo of the family, Felice Santana in a trial match. Dwight has already done well to introduce herself to the Office with a hard fought victory over Anaba Camacho in UCSS, and will look to continue the momentum here.

Rudo EX vs. Animal Farm
Diego Santana and Senora Conquistadora vs. Lila Gila and Super Komodo
The "first couple" of Rudo EX will take on the debuting duo of Lila Gila and Super Komodo, giving them what promises to be a rude welcome to the Dominican Republic. The Animal Farm duo, in turn, seek to live up to the hype their signing has created for SFW.

Caribbean Cage Match
El Hijo de Macchiato vs. Poison Froggy Mask
A match that's been a long time coming, with Macchiato finally getting his match with the Rudo Army's Benedict Arnold, Poison Froggy Mask, who shockingly betrayed his stable to help found Rudo EX. The two will meet inside the confines of a steel cage to keep their respective teams out and the carnage inside.

El Froggy Mask, Moonman and Luchador Sorpresa vs. La Familia(Rey de la Carne, Chico Con Carne and Mega Meat with Besos)(Wrestle Parade)
Two popular trios face off here with Wrestle Parade's La Familia stable hitting the ring against the ever-popular El Froggy Mask, the fast rising sensation, Moonman and the always-opportunistic Luchador Sorpresa.

Canadian Grizzly vs. Felix Santana III
An opening match that should set a high standard for the rest of the show, with two mat capable technicians unafraid of mixing it up. Felix III's fusion of lucha and amateur wrestling should keep him competitive against the Grizzly's vaunted Canadian catch submission tactics, with the winner making a good case for a future title opportunity.

[faulknasty]

Hell yeah Macchiatto gonna tear PFM up in that cage!

[Senator Phillips]

Promo Roundup for Santana Touring Festival - January '20

Translation from Spanish in <brackets>

---


El Hijo de Macchiato: <WAAAAAAKE UP! Poison Froggy Mask is a dirty rotten traitor and he's going to get a quintuple shot of what he has coming to him for what he did to the Rudo Army! I wanted this match for a long, long, long, long, long, long, longlonglong time! And now I got it! Poison Froggy, I will squish you like the toad you are, and inside the cage, there's nowhere for you to RUUUUUUN!>

---

Poison Froggy Mask: <I left the Rudo Army because it became a pathetic joke! It lost the ruthlessness we need to succeed! Salvador Sosa gets all buddy buddy with the Santanas, kissing up to the people who held us down, it made me sick. So Macchiato, for once in your life, shut the hell up and take a long nap. And when you wake up, just remember how worthless you are, and that your loss here is one step closer to the demise of the Rudo Army. Cause of death: a slow acting dose of poison.>

---

Della Dwight: Hola! <I'm thrilled to try out Santana Family Wrestling! I can use the Spanish my mother taught me, I can use the wrestling my father taught me, and I can show the Dominican people what I can do! I've seen Felice's matches before, both from here and from Phoenix Rising, and she, to me, is clearly the best high flyer in the world. So to get to wrestle her, is going to be a challenge, and one I look forward to. I can't wait to see you all in Santo Domingo!>

---

Felix Santana Junior: Senator Steve Phillips. I've known you for more than a decade. I remember being around when you became a multi time champion back then in ACW, while I was still working down on the card. Both of us, through our careers, we've seen things, we've done things, we've held belts, been the face of companies. So to get to have this match on your retirement tour, it's an honor. Just make sure you brought your working boots down here to the Republic, because I promise you mine are laced and polished and ready to go.

---

Senator Steve Phillips: Since founding the Senatorial Office, I knew there were a few select individuals I had to pursue. One of the most obvious choices was to gain a working contract with the wrestler whom I believed to be the single most impressive performer in the industry. That, of course, happened to be Felix Santana Jr. No matter where he traveled, wherever he found himself on the card, Felix Jr. always found a way to put on a show, and to win more often than not. No fans ever could say they went home disappointed by a match from the man. And that is why I prioritized the opportunity to ensure that Felix would be one of the people I faced on my last tour around the Office. Felix Santana Jr. is a name that has represented pride, honor and excellence, a man who named his finish the Pueba de Grandeza, or Proof of Greatness without irony, a man who I am honored to compete against on this Friday, and that, my friends, is nothing...but the truth.

---

Gorilla Power: Gorilla Power! Gorilla Smash! Gorilla Drop! Gorilla Splash!

---

El Experto: <You thought you were done with the Worldwide Luchador. But you were wrong. My career in the ring...it is over. Colossus Rhodes dropped me on my head, injured my neck. That is the way of the game. I do not hold it against him. Rudo EX does not show mercy, not even towards our own. But what we do show, is dominance. And someone with my experience, with my years wrestling around the world, I am more than qualified to make the statement that the New Humanity is the best athlete in the history of professional wrestling. And he is Rudo EX, as he should be.>

Experto: <As an expert prognosticator, I see the probabilities. And what I see is that it is highly probable that the New Humanity takes this idiot gorilla man and makes him look like the stupid ape that he is! And then I see it is almost inevitable that the New Humanity steps up to the pretender that is Salvador Sosa, and humiliates him in front of the world to bring the Dominican Golden Championship back to Rudo EX where it belongs! And I will be at ringside to provide my leadership, my insight, my expertise, every single step of the way. And when we do win, I cannot wait to see the look on Salvador's face, on all the Santanas, when they realize they simply didn't have what it takes to deal with Rudo EX.>

[Senator Phillips]

The usual quick reminder that the Office is on the air at 8:00 PM CT on the Senatorial Streaming Service.

www.twitch.tv/senatorphillips

There'll be grudge matches, trial bouts, a #1 contenders match, a Familia cameo, expert Rudos, Mooooooooon, overly caffeinated luchadors, a dream match on the way out the door, an Animal Farm on the way in the door, and the New Humanity, who will be publicly available following the show!

[Senator Phillips]

As early as it is, a show of the year contender has already taken place, with Santana Family Wrestling delivering with a show that started strong and didn't let up from start to finish!

RESULTS

Santana Touring Festival, January '20
8:00 PM (CT), Friday, January 10th at the Auditorio de Pedro Santana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Main Event: Dominican Golden Championship #1 Contender Bout
The New Humanity with El Experto vs. Gorilla Power

With all the buzz surrounding The New Humanity and his revolutionary athletc edge, it was hard to remember that Gorilla Power could be considered an athletic marvel in his own right. And as such, the Animal Farm's leader quite simply had too much for Esteban Vargas to deal with, and even the efforts of El Experto at ringside were not enough to prevent the Gorilla from landing his backflipping fireman carry drop, the Gorilla Drop into a standing splash for the victory, and the title shot.

Senator Steve Phillips Retirement Tour
Senator Steve Phillips vs. Felix Santana Jr.

The Senator was in vintage form through the entire match, chopping Felix Jr. from corner to corner and utilizing a good portion of his expansive moveset. El Primero, however, was not to be denied, staying in the match, just barely at times, but a running DDT was enough to take the win twenty minutes into the bout.

Della Dwight with "Textbook" Tim Dwight vs. Felice Santana

Felice Santana pushed Della Dwight up against her limit with a fast paced attack throughout this match, landing a double lotation moonsault and going for repeated flash pin techniques. But even so, the super rookie managed to take the win, after landing a Skyscraper elevated Dragon Suplex into the ropes and a quick backslide directly after for the three count. Della Dwight has proven multiple times now that the hype might not be wrong concerning her.

Diego Santana and Senora Conquistadora vs. Lila Gila and Super Komodo

A solid bout between two well matched teams, but the Animal Farm's debut was spoiled when Conquistadora grew tired of her opponents' antics, repeatedly driving Gila and Komodo into the mat, and winning with her leg hooking driver, the Dominion Driver to pin Komodo.

Caribbean Cage Match
El Hijo de Macchiato vs. Poison Froggy Mask

A standout battle between two hated foes, as PFM took the fight to Macchiato, stretching him out early on, delivering brutal stomps later, including a corner hanging stomp onto a sledgehammer. But in the end, El Hijo de Macchiato stood victorious after landing a springboard elbow drop to finish his traitorous opponent.

El Froggy Mask, Moonman and Luchador Sorpresa vs. La Familia(Rey de la Carne, Chico Con Carne and Mega Meat with Besos)(Wrestle Parade)

A match that felt like it took half the time that it actually did, with both teams using the showcase rules to effectively demonstrate their skills. Chico Con Carne was undoubtedly the MVP for La Familia, constantly being the one to tag back in for Mega Meat, and the one who defeated a solidly performing Moonman with a 450 splash.

Canadian Grizzly vs. Felix Santana III

A solid opening to the show, as expected, with Grizzly working his mat based techniques against the athleticism and suplexes of Felix III. As things developed, the latter overcame the former with Felix III delivering a flying lariat off the top rope for a three count.

---

Match of the Night: Team Froggy vs. La Familia
-SFW events often approximate workrate paradise, and this was no exception. With Phillips-Felix Jr, Macchiato-PFM and Dwight-Felice all on the card, this was a difficult call, but a clear winner here was the six person showcase tag, as La Familia and Froggy's makeshift team thrilled and entertained for two thirds of an hour.

Performer of the Night: Gorilla Power
-An exponentially easier decision, with Gorilla Power dominating one of the biggest prospects in all of the Senatorial Office and even overcoming ringside interference to take a clear victory.

---

Gorilla Power: Gorilla see! Gorilla smash! Salvador Sosa? Gorilla bash!

---

Felix Santana Junior: That was an honor and a pleasure! So many people retire after they lose everything, and the last thing people remember is how embarrassing they were. But you, Senator Steve Phillips, have not taken that route! It took everything I had to gain that win! Every last trick, every bit of energy, that took it all! And even then, I still feel like I walk away a little lucky with that result! This is a match I will not forget, even into my own years of comfortable retirement!

---

Senator Steve Phillips: Respect. That is the one word I want everyone to remember after tonight. I hit Felix with everything I had to offer. He kept getting up. I locked him into the Victory Lock II, and yet, he persevered. He had an answer every time he was tested. This is why he himself should be considered to be an indispensible legend in his own right and why I walk away tonight without shame, even as I fell in defeat. For, even as victory eluded my grasp, the greater quantity did not, and the respect I had for Felix was echoed in the splendid performance he delivered. Such a match can only elevate all who participate, and that, my friends, is nothing...but the truth.

---

El Experto: <I tell the people that you were going to win, that it was the highest probability! And what do you do? You make me look like I knew nothing about what I spoke of! Me! El Experto!>

The New Humanity: <I'm not happy either! But where were you when he pinned me?>

Experto: <You dare question me? Me? I saved your ass already in that match! Domingo Santana is a jealous man, he hates my guts, he was not going to pay attention to me again!>

Poison Froggy Mask: <Rudo EX looked like shit tonight!>

Experto: <You were a part of it too! You lost to the coffee man!>

PFM: <I hate him even more now, if that's possible!>

Senora Conquistadora: <Oh, don't be so angry, not everything was so bad!>

Diego Santana: <You know what, how bout we go do something, anywhere else but here, 'Quista.>

Senora: <Yeah, go figure out your problems...me and my boyfriend are celebrating. But just remember this. We won. You all lost. Colossus is who knows where. You want that shot at Sosa? Let us know when you're ready. Later, then!>

Experto: <Santana Senior isn't letting Colossus anywhere near the title again. No, we need to put Plan B into effect. We do that...the Santanas and Sosa's crew don't know what hit them. And that's an Expert Guarantee.>

[Senator Phillips]

Big debuts, pop stars, moonsaults and one more stop on the Senatorial Retirement Tour, what more could you ask for?


Wacker Drive Revival: Senatorial Farewell
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, January 17 at Wacker Drive Revival in Chicago, IL

Main Event: Senator Steve Phillips Retirement Tour, The Senator vs. The Marxist
Senator Steve Phillips vs. The Marxist, Joesph Harpo
With a long history of animosity, it only made sense for Phillips to call out Harpo on his retirement tour. While Phillips looked to be back in fighting form against Felix Santana Jr. on the previous week, Harpo should not be overlooked, with the Internationale leader's classic brawling tactics serving a real threat.

The Syndicate Debut Match
The Syndicate(Lucretia DeCavalcante, Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod) vs. Blue Destiny (Jin Matsuda, Maki Yoshida and Yumi Yamaguchi)(ZIP Japan)
With the Goodfellas transferring over from the PEWA and Lucretia DeCavalcante bringing her own Chicago connections and lethal kicks to the mix, the Syndicate looks to make an immediate splash by taking on the current holders of The Loop in a non-title match. A win here will promise the Syndicate a shot at Lariats and Legislators #10.

JT Bosco Debut Match
Mr. Moonsault vs. JT Bosco
The heavy handed old friend of Ross Malone, JT Bosco replaces Frank Van Sloan for the Action Pack and faces a tough challenge in his debut up against the ace of Wacker Drive, Mr. Moonsault, Marcus Xavier.

NBNF(X-Treme Kid and DUDE Smith) vs. D-Train(Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson)
Two dominant teams look to increase their presence in Wacker Drive, with the D-Train of D-Team, Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson continuing the Train's recent successes and NBNF heading back from an unsuccessful match with Mr. and Mrs. Brown at PEWA 20. The winning team here could well earn a title opportunity if the Syndicate doesn't defeat Blue Destiny later on the program.

Astro Traveler vs. Elle Barrett
A no-frills, no-nonsense match between two of the top technicians of Wacker Drive, with the enigmatic Astro Traveler representing the Blue Notes against the Action Pack's ever-tricky Elle Barrett in what should be an entertaining match from bell to bell.

The Sensations(Kn!p Amoranth(OASIS) and Miss Bauhaus) vs. Queen's Rangers(Valerie May and Phil Mercury)
The show opens with some of the biggest names on the card, with the famous popstar duo of Bauhaus and Kn!p up against the always popular team of May and Mercury. Whichever way this match goes, this one should rock you.

---

Senator Phillips and Joseph Harpo met at a brief press conference announcing their match, and with nobody to stop them, the two took to the microphone.

Senator Steve Phillips: You are unlike the rest of my opposition from this tour. Whereas the other opponents were selected out of friendship and admiration, you were picked to settle old grudges. I do not expect an enjoyable sportsmanlike contest against you, but a ruthless fight is nigh on as inevitable as it is necessary.

"The Marxist" Joseph Harpo: Enough already! For so long, I have waited, and waited for the day you would inevitably leave! So many times, I've heard you, the voice of the entrenched establishment, speaking out on behalf of the corrupt, exploitative power structure, and so many times I wanted to shut your damn mouth! Finally, I get the chance to do that!

Senator: I am certain you are familiar with the old phrase, "better dead than red."

Harpo: Oh! You're going to say that? You're saying that? I'm not the one who's one step away from the dustbin of history!

Senator: And yet, I shall remain more relevant than you in the public eye, by an exponential degree.

Harpo: My voice is the voice of the people, in due time, I will win, you can't fight the tides of history!

Senator: You proclaim yourself the "voice of the people" and yet not a single person elected you to that role. Quarrel with my policies all you wish, but you cannot truthfully state that you speak for anyone but yourself.

Harpo: At least you know what my policies are up front! I stand for what I believe in! You hide behind the big "I" and carry water for your corporate masters while you avoid any consequences for doing so! You're a fraud!

Senator: You allow ideology to dictate your thoughts, when you open your mouth, your doctrine speaks through it. My way is one of pragmatism, in the belief that nothing is, was, or can be perfect, that idealism cannot exist untempered by compromise within a pluralistic society. And yet, while the logistical approach of our solutions may well be diametrically opposed, we might yet share more common concerns than not.

Harpo: Your way condemns the marginalized to subjugation, I'm not so heartless that I can condone that!

Senator: If my way does not go far enough to hasten the solutions, your methods end up creating more problems, and worse ones at that. The more radical the path, the more you deal with unintended consequences.

Harpo: You have to break the egg to make the omelet.

Senator: But if tended to for long enough, does the egg not hatch into something more valuable than a simple omelet? But I shall not torture the analogy any longer. This Friday, you and I shall do battle within the confines of the squared circle. We have found ourselves at odds for over a decade, in various promotions and settings. But this will be our last battlefield. As such, I make one final proposal. Should we each make it through this match intact, let us then bring forth our allies, Mr. Kalb, Mr. Fitsharris, Mrs. Fitsharris, Ms. Daley on my behalf, your Internationale on yours, and let us find a soup kitchen and serve the people, and perhaps raise some funds in the process.

Harpo: What, you want me to help your PR work?

Senator: No cameras, no pictures, just a set of good deeds to recognize that no matter how far apart we stand, there are yet common goals we can work towards, that politics should not create insurmountable chasms between well-meaning individuals.

Harpo: You want to throw pennies at the feet of the poor, feel good, is that right?

Senator: I will not restate my rationale. What I will say, however, is that you would do well not to mistake my olive branch following the match for any respite during it. I yet fully intend to do my very best to unleash utter obliteration during our contest, to end our longstanding feud without any questions left to ask, and that, Mr. Harpo, is nothing...but the truth.

[Senator Phillips]

Yes, we're on for tonight at 8:00 PM (CT) on the Senatorial Streaming Service! www.twitch.tv/senatorphillips

The Syndicate and JT Bosco debut, Senator Steve Phillips takes on the Marxist, Joseph Harpo, one last time and the Sensations sweep into Chicago!

---

JT Bosco: I've been sittin' on the sidelines too long! So I gave Ross Malone the call, and he told me I'm in! But you know what my real problem is? I see this guy, tall as a tower, flipping around like he don't care! And this is the guy they say is the man around here! But me, I'm from the old school. I don't do things like that! Moonsault, you can flip and fly all you want, I'm gonna smash you in the mouth! That's all that matters in the end! You got yours, now gimmie mine!

---

Mr. Moonsault: It's a new year, and the D-Team's doing ok. But we're not where we want to be. Sure, Freight Train's been cool, D-Man's getting some burn, Astrid's alright, but I'm not happy with where the Team stands. When we're at our best, we run this show. But that hasn't been the case for much of the last year. This time around, I'm setting my goal at getting The Loop back in our hands before the summer hits. But before that, I get this challenge. JT Bosco, I'm sure you've been around the block enough times. But before you start thinking all you have to do is hit me with one of those big meathooks, just remember, lots of bad dudes tried that before. Just don't forget to look up before I come crashing down.

---

Lucretia DeCavalcante: For those of you who don't hail from Cook County, my name is Lucretia DeCavalcante. They call me the Cornerstone around here because I'm a community organizer, and I know exactly how to get things done. And while I've watched this organization carry on for the last few years, I couldn't do that any longer. So now, say hello to the Syndicate, my answer for the problems of Wacker Drive Revival. Too long, I've seen Wacker Drive represent Chi-town to the wrestling community, and for too long, I let these lackluster teams act as if they were the best that my community had to offer. Enough of that. Starting out here tonight, we're changing the game. I contacted the most professional tag team in the world to get this done. Eddie the Wire, Tony the Rod, the Goodfellas.

Eddie the Wire: That's right. Tony and I, we've done this for over twenty years. We've made our names in New York, in Jersey, in Philadelphia, across the nation. We're not the Made Men for nothing. And having seen things through in the PEWA, we're ready to right some wrongs and show Chicago just why the Goodfellas are a household name in precision tag team execution and why the Syndicate is the new name in squad dominance. Ain't that right, Tony?

Tony the Rod: Never wrong, Eddie. Blue Destiny, you've done well here, traveling over from Japan and capturing the crown, but however nice that is, it cannot last for long, because once the Syndicate came into being, your days on top became numbered. Don't take it personally, though, it's strictly business.

[Senator Phillips]

A rather brutal event, with multiple injuries, including one that could have long term ramifications and a top notch main event.

RESULTS

Wacker Drive Revival: Senatorial Farewell
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, January 17 at Wacker Drive Revival in Chicago, IL

Bonus Match: "Textbook" Tim Dwight with Della Dwight vs. Big Robert Montgomery

Tim Dwight decided to make a surprise showing against Big Robert Montgomery, with daughter Della at ringside. Dwight never was able to fully implement his usual offence, a cardinal mistake against Montgomery who drove him into the mat with the Smokestack Lightning brainbuster chokeslam, with a hard enough impact to silence the crowd and leave the well regarded trainer motionless on the mat, with an emotional Della accompanying the medics as they checked on him.

Main Event: The Senator vs. The Marxist
Senator Steve Phillips with the Capitalists(Anthony Kalb and Kevin Fitsharris) and Aoife Daley(UCSS) vs. The Marxist, Joesph Harpo with the Internationale(Humberto Ortega, Stakhonovite Warrior and Sarita Jean Watkins)

One more fight between the old rivals for old time's sake, and Phillips managed to turn back the clock against Harpo, battering him across the ring with Washington Lariats, Polarizer over the shoulder drivers and the Filibuster. But Harpo himself rose to the occasion, constantly lecturing Phillips at every spare moment, and hit several big Soviet Leg Drops, with the last one earning one of the biggest moments in the Marxist's entire career.

The Syndicate Debut Match
The Syndicate(Lucretia DeCavalcante, Eddie the Wire and Tony the Rod) vs. Blue Destiny (Jin Matsuda, Maki Yoshida and Yumi Yamaguchi)(ZIP Japan)

The Syndicate came dressed to impress in their debut for Wacker Drive Revival and did just that in this bout, weathering the worst of Blue Destiny's attack, bloodying Yumi Yamaguchi and pinning her for the three count following a vicious jumping front kick from Lucretia DeCavalcante. The Syndicate have now earned a shot at The Loop against Blue Destiny for Lariats #10, and have done so with style.

JT Bosco Debut Match
Mr. Moonsault vs. JT Bosco

As much a showing of Mr. Moonsault's unique athletic capabilities as it was for JT Bosco's debut in Wacker Drive. Moonsault found ways to catch Bosco from every angle with his signature attacks, including a double backflip in the ring leading into an asai moonsault to the outside. Bosco held his own in response, landing clubbing blows and even the Bosco Blaster fire thunder driver, but it was a quick standing moonsault that netted the victory for Marcus Xavier.

NBNF(X-Treme Kid and DUDE Smith) vs. D-Train(Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson)

A servicable match until the end stretch, when the XTK started hitting his big moves including a Sweet Chin Music, Emerald Santiago got involved and DUDE Smith destroyed the Freight Train with a DUDE-isher fireman carry brainbuster. If DUDE had any individual ambitions, he could well make a run in the Office rankings.

Astro Traveler vs. Elle Barrett

This was every bit the technical competition that it was expected to be, with Traveler and Barrett both demonstrating the strong points of their approach to the game, but it was the Astro Traveler that took a page out of Barrett's book by rolling her up with a flash counter pin.

The Sensations(Kn!p Amoranth(OASIS) and Miss Bauhaus) vs. Queen's Rangers(Valerie May and Phil Mercury)

Both the Sensations and the Rangers showed up in solid form, but it was the two popstars that shined the brightest, leading to a knockout victory in favor of Miss Bauhaus, after she hit her Cutting Edge bridging fisherman neckbreaker on Valerie May.

---

Match of the Night: Senator Steve Phillips vs. Joseph Harpo
-The two old rivals brought it one last time in what ended up being an old fashioned slugfest, with Phillips throwing constant lariats and impact moves, and the Marxist playing to the crowd before earning a well-deserved victory. Barrett vs. Traveler and the Moonsault vs Bosco matches both competed for the award, too.

Performer of the Night: Mr. Moonsault
-Moonsault earns the Performer award for putting on an absolute showcase of his unreal agility against the debuting JT Bosco. Want to know why he earned his nickname? Watch this.

---

Injury Report

Valerie May: Strained Shoulder (Two week medical suspension)
-Valerie May took a swinging fisherman neckbreaker from Miss Bauhaus which looked to re-aggravate old injuries, but fortunately for Ms. May, she should be back in action sooner than later.

Freight Train McMichaelson: Herneated Disc (One month medical suspension)
-DUDE Smith dropped the Train with a DUDE-isher fireman carry buster, which left him sprawled on the mat following the match. While the doctors have advised a month off, McMichaelson has reportedly claimed that the injuries were pre-existing and has stated that even if told to rest by the Office, he will not miss any of his future bookings for Port City Pro.

Tim Dwight: Grade Three Concussion, Fractured Collarbone (Three month minimum medical suspension)
The legendary trainer took on Big Robert Montgomery in a surprise match, and was driven into the mat with the Wacker Drive owner's Smokestack Lightning brainbuster chokeslam. Dwight suffered a severe concussion and a fractured collarbone as a result and has been told by the Office to take at least three months off before stepping back into the ring.

---

The crowded hallways of the backstage area in the Wacker Drive Revival club miraculously parted as a six foot seven personification of the Goddess Nemesis stormed through the narrow corridors, making a beeline directly for the office of Big Robert Montgomery. With a quick twist of the handle, Della Dwight flung the door open, furiously approaching the Wacker Drive promoter, who was sitting at his desk, talking to a bandaged up Junior Ellis, the referee looking worse for wear after his multiple collisions.

Della Dwight: You! Do you know what you did to my father?

Big Robert Montgomery: Junior, go hit the bricks. I got this.

Della: Answer me!

Montgomery: Now listen up, young lady. You best slow your role and back yourself down. I don't take that talk from anyone around here.

Della: I don't work for you, and if you thought you had a chance, you just lost it tonight!

Montgomery: You're going to have to learn some lessons real quick. Things happen. We're in the hurt game, and people get hurt out there. Don't come at me like that unless you want a taste of that.

Della: Maybe I do. Maybe I want to send that right back at you! Not here, not tonight!

Montgomery: Don't be chewing off more than you can bite, lady.

Della: Don't tell me what I can't handle. I'll tell you what I want. You and me, Lariats and Legislators #10. You didn't have to hurt my dad like that. But you better believe I'll be looking to do that and worse to you!

Montgomery: You got a touch of the crazy in you. Just be careful you make that work for you, and not against you. Want that match? I'm good with that. But talk to your old man first. You do that, and you still want this? Then we're on.

Della's eyes burned with a fiery intensity as she stared at Robert Montgomery, the grizzled old bluesman looking back up with an unwavering focus. The two stared each other down for a long, tense moment, before Montgomery turned away, waving Dwight away.

Montgomery: Now move along, get out of my office.

Della shook her head, nearly speaking again, but instead turned around, slamming the door shut as she stomped back out down the hallway.

---

Following the event, the Senator's contingent, including Anthony Kalb, Kevin Fitsharris, Aofie Daley and Mina Fitsharris all met with the Internationale in the back of the Wacker Drive Revival club, at the loading dock, where a large van awaited. Handshakes were exchanged between the two groups, with Phillips and Harpo both enthused with the match.

Senator Steve Phillips: It has never been a joy to lose a match, ever. But what preceded the conclusion was very much a reminder of why I entered into this sport to begin with.

Joseph Harpo: The results are all that matter to me, and the results were worthwhile!

Senator: Do not deceive yourself, you gained no small satisfaction from the journey as well as the destination.

Harpo: The ends justify the means!

Aoife Daley: Shut up, you're a fighter, you enjoy the fight, don't lie!

Harpo: I don't lie to the people!

Aoife: Hah! You lie to yourself, then!

Harpo: I do not...

Stakhonovite Warrior: It is good to have vigor for the struggle! The good Soviet man does not work without enjoyment! And you are a good Soviet man!

Harpo: Hmph, so I have been corrected, I suppose.

Humberto Ortega: Yo mang, it's all cool. Everything's cool, you won, it's a good time. It's all good. Hey Phillps, been hearing there's a cool place out there, West Coast. Like, that Evergreen fed, they got a cool logo now. Real cool. My kinda logo, if you know what I mean. So if you could hook me up...I'd be cool.

Sarita Jean Watkins: Their logo isn't a bong! Stop embarrassing me in public all the time!

Senator: I truly shall miss this. All of this. Knowing that the end draws nigh for this phase of my life heightens the senses, lends a weight to even the most seemingly mundane moments. Standing here, surrounded by old friends and rivals united in the determination to unite in charity, seeing the snow fall down out of the cold Chicago sky, there is a certain beauty in this scene that I believe I will always remember. The purity of competition, the camaraderie of a shared experience, this is why I have always wished to maintain this as long as I could possibly have done so.

Harpo: And now you're done, consigned to the ash heap! I still hate everything you represent, but now that it's over, maybe I will miss having such a perfect foe to contrast my righteous cause.

Senator: Now you shall be the thorn in Mr. Kalb's side, as he shall be for yours. Speaking of, I believe the Fitsharris's and Mr. Kalb are already prepared to depart.

Aoife: Yep! They're ready to go, let's go serve some soup!
