The Senatorial Office: Open for Business!!

[gambler]

Just finishing up the show.

SPOILER: Click to show

Wow! That Lariato/Masterson match was great, and Sosa/EFM was great before the unfortunate ending. Awesome show.

[Senator Phillips]

Yes, these are some really late results. No excuses, but here they are now, finally.

RESULTS


Santana Family Wrestling x TIPWF: Crossover Hurricane
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 1st at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC

Bonus Match
El Hijo de Macchiato vs. The Everyman

A hard hitting bonus match between the Rudo Army's resident human alarm clock and the leader of the Blue Collar Brawlers. The Everyman was fired up even more than usual, looking to get a May Day victory in tribute to his local labor unions, and for a good while, it seemed that he was en route to a win, hitting multiple Workman's Compensation running boots, but Macchiato stayed in the match, kicking out and hitting his dead lift arm slam, the infamous Wake Up and Smell the Coffee to score the knockout victory.

Main Event
Lil' Lariato with Generalissimo Kool Q and Duke Cogburn vs. Red Masterson(Warrior Pro)

Before Masterson was to face a mystery opponent, a familiar voice was heard over the PA system:
"We're back in the neighborhood
Back before they knew we could
We're back in the neighborhood Making it understood
We're back."

Yes, Lil' Lariato had returned, with a new look and a renewed determination, with his two mentors by his side. And Lariato took the fight to a lone standing Red Masterson, with the two putting on a MotY contender, neither backing down an inch, despite Lariato giving up size, and Masterson fighting without the Jackson Hole Outlaws in his corner. Both men repeatedly had close calls down the stretch with their lariats, each one striking with fearsome force, with Masterson kicking out of Lariato's trademark brainbuster into standing moonsault combination, and Lariato escaping a Jackhammer pin. In the end, however, it would be Red Masterson who would land one last emphatic lariat to come out away victorious, bruised and hurting, but victorious nonetheless.

Non-Title Prove It Match
Salvador Sosa vs. El Froggy Mask

The Notorious EFM pushed the pace here, going move for move with the Dominican Golden Champion, and seemed on the verge of setting up his match ending offence when Salvador Sosa hit his trademark vertebreaker, the Road to Salvation, which left Froggy sprawled out on the mat, leading to a referee stoppage. Sosa seemed anything but happy with the result, and stayed with El Froggy Mask as the medics showed up, accompanying him to the back.

Felix Santana Jr. and Pantero Negro Jr.(Lucha POWER) with Felix Santana Sr. vs. El Macho(Lucha POWER) and The New Humanity with El Experto

On any other night, this would have been a clear lock for Match of the Night. Instead, this simply was a standout match that more than lived up to the hopes and expectations of the fans. The New Humanity finally got a chance to show off his otherworldly athleticism and stunningly dynamic offence, El Macho moved like a man a third of his age as he took the fight to Felix Jr, Felix Santana Jr. for his own part, was sheer class in the ring, and Pantero Negro Jr. was the man of the moment, catching El Macho with a liontamer style boston crab to force the tap from El Macho in securing the win for his team. One might wonder if this could lead to some issues for the Lucha POWER champ in the near future...

Calista Vargas(Phoenix Rising) vs. Felice Santana

Just as these two fought in Phoenix Rising, the Office got a near replay of their previous match, this time in the Beltway Hippodrome, with Calista Vargas matching Felice Santana's speed, escaping a Double Lotation Moonsault and hitting her destructive Storm Breaker to score another win over the Santana Family's high grade prospect. Vargas's skill and ability continue to shine in her performances.

Valentina Verda vs. Itzcoatl Hernandez

It was well known that this could have either been a bloody mess or an amusing humiliation, and to little surprise, the latter ended up as the result, with Valentina Verda thwarting Hernandez's attempt to spill blood and instead hit several Gardenia Bridge floatover backslides, the first of which seemed to have tweaked a muscle for the Aztec Executioner, the second of which scored an obscenely easy three count, and a thankfully faster match than the first two.

La Axolotl vs. Margarita Morales

While this was much faster and more fluidly paced than the plodding opener, Axolotl and Morales nearly went a full half hour in this intricate, technical bout, with both women exhausting their impressive submission arsenals, and showed a mutual toughness in refusing to tap, even after the twenty minute mark with fully locked in holds. In the end, it was Margarita Morales who dug deep and managed to finish Axolotl with a Triangle Lancer to end the marathon match.

TIPWF Lone Star Trios Title Bout
The Roland Chang Trio(Roland Chang Sr, Roland Chang Jr. and Roland Chang III) vs. High Plains Drifters(Marcos Angulo(UCSS), Walt Callahan and Johnny Sixname)

The opener was a long, drawn out brawl between the two veteran teams, and while the Roland Changs put up a spirited fight in defense of their titles, it would be the High Plains Drifters that would walk away as the new TIPWF Lone Star Trios champs, after the Tijuana Wreckin' Ball, Marcos Angulo caught Roland Chang III with an arm triangle choke for the finish, with the time approaching the 45 minute time limit.

---

Match of the Night: Red Masterson vs. Lil' Lariato
-Zero questions here, Lariato and Red put on one of the very best matches of the whole year, with enough heart and grit to satisfy any old school blood and guts fan of the sport, and enough athleticism and skill to impress anyone. The SFW/Lucha POWER combined tag was exceptional, but this was as good as it gets.

Performer of the Night: Lil' Lariato
-Even in defeat, Lariato's courage, tenacity and aggression were not in doubt, and he can still hold his head high for such an effort.

---

Injury Report

Itzcoatl Hernandez: Severe Lumbar Strain (Three Month Medical Suspension)
-Several Gardenia Bridge rolling backslides caught Hernandez, and the Aztec Executioner never seems to catch a break, suffering a severe back strain, with a three month suspension giving him a lengthy time to get himself back into shape, and hopefully, to find a way to build some momentum when he does return.

El Froggy Mask: Minor Concussion (Two Month Medical Suspension)
-While EFM's knockout loss to Salvador Sosa looked bad enough for the Rudo Army leader to avoid a celebration to stay by the fallen luchador all the way to the back, but fortunately, while Froggy did suffer a concussion, and will miss two months, it was said that he was fully responsive during his diagnosis and will make a full recovery.

The Everyman: Bruised Ribs (One Month Medical Suspension)
-Macchiato's Wake Up And Smell the Coffee slammed the Union Stalwart into the mat with enough force to bruise ribs, but with the Everyman's dedication and work ethic, he should be back in time for the next combined show. Taking such a loss on May Day, however, might be tougher for him to get over.

---

Lil' Lariato: Hey, cameraman, bring that over here. Thanks. Alright, let me just lay this out there. No bull, no wastin' words, Red Masterson kicked my ass, and kicked it good. No excuses, I lost that damn match, straight up. Everyone told me, this ain't the time to come back, but screw it, I was sick of waiting around, way I do things, is doing them. Duke says a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I ain't the finished product just yet, but I'm through sitting on my ass, if I'm moving forward, I'm doing it through the crucible, the school of hard knocks, I came up the hard way, in the ring, and as a MC. But yeah, what tipped the scales was when I see this fool that pissed off my man Cowboy and went at Hailey, and all I could think was that once Cowboy stepped out, I was ready to step in. That's when I knew I couldn't stay away from this match. I wanted to launch his head off his shoulders, like Hakeem rejecting a ball into the stands, and I think you all saw me do my best to do that.

Lariato: Look, I don't like Red, he's still an asshole, I wouldn't party with him, but damn, I gotta respect his skill and his will. He took my best shot and threw it back to me just as hard. So then, all I see is that his boys left him high and dry, headed here by himself, and he brings the fight to me like a friggin hurricane, except there's no calm in that storm. Honestly, don't know how I beat a guy like that, but don't let nobody tell you Lil' Lariato backed down from a challenge, no matter how bad the odds. They told me I couldn't do rap like I've done, that boom bappin' in the age of trap don't work. They told me I was too small to wrestle like I do, that a guy my height can't beat big men with lariats, that a Houston rapper like me got nothing in common with guys like Duke Cogburn or Cowboy Johnston. I proved all those doubters wrong, and I don't care what anyone says now, I'm just going to get better after this, and next time I face Red, maybe this time, I've got what it takes.

Lariato: Which just leaves me thinking this: why the hell is a guy like this living in the shadow of a piece of shit like Doc Wyatt? Red Masterson, you know after that, you don't gotta listen to a word I have to say, but if you're hearing me, just ask yourself, you better off following Doc around while he uses you to soften up anyone who takes a shot at him? Looking where you stand, you got a lot more to gain than to lose in being your own man. Just sayin...

---

Salvador Sosa:(Translated from Spanish) <Look, I'm not in the mood to say a lot. Just want to say, the Froggy Man is gonna be back, and when he is, I'll give him a title match on principle, I know all too well what it's like to end up spiked and scrambled. Yeah, it's part of the game, but I got too much respect to want to see him hurt like that. So, yeah, not only am I offering him a title shot, but I want Froggy Man to know that the Rudo Army's got his back. Get better, get back, and let's do this again.>

---

Valentina Verda: Oh, did I injure the bloody macho hardcore man? Whatever will I do with myself? I've been winning matches here and there and everywhere, with nothing to show for it but the most fabulous wardrobe in Texas, and that just won't do. So, looking at how things are looking, maybe if Doc Wyatt fends off the big rugged Cowboy, maybe I'll see if I can do what nobody else around here can do, and take that nice pretty gold belt for myself!

[Senator Phillips]

The Loop is on the line once again on this Friday, with a big #1 contender's match for L-Pro and a star studded Preliminary Main Event featuring GPC, the Nigerian Prince of Pan African Wrestling and the Destructive Duo taking on a standout team of ZIP's most nefarious grapplers!

Wacker Drive Revival x Lightning Pro: A ZIPtacular Showdown
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 8th at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC

Main Event: The Loop Championship Bout
Blue Destiny(Jin Matsuda, Maki Yoshida and Yumi Yamaguchi)(ZIP Japan)(C) vs. The D-Team(Mr. Moonsault, D-Man Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson)
The standout ZIP trio of Blue Destiny have refused to relinquish their control of The Loop, thwarting attempt after attempt on the Wacker Drive championship. This time, however, the D-Team will bring their three heaviest hitters to bear, with Mr. Moonsault, the D-Man and the Freight Train all hoping to overthrow the current champs. McMichaelson and Thomas recently had one of the best wins of their career in defeating Lightning Pro's Destructive Duo, and have not been quiet in their belief that they can return The Loop back to the Wacker Drive roster.

Lightning Pro Title Eliminator
Rumika Hashi vs. Nishimura Endo
Following an astonishing, one sided loss to Masahiro Suzuki in his Dragon Fire debut, questions were raised concerning Endo's ability to take on GPC for the Victorious Medal. At the same time, Rumika Hashi has been nothing but outstanding in her own recent performances, and has reportedly been asking for a chance to earn herself a title opportunity. This will be that chance. Hashi's sharp kicks and agility will be sorely tested, however, especially if Endo can return to the form he was in when he put teammate, Tarkhan the Mangler on the bench, following their own #1 contender's match.

Total MDK Debut Match
"Total MDK", Taylor Nguyen vs. Astro Traveler
Making her debut for X-Treme Kid's NBNF team, after graduating from his backyard wrestling fed, the woman known in XTK's X-Treme Hardcore Wrestling only as "Total MDK" will take her brash, high energy approach into the ring against one of Wacker Drive's best, Astro Traveler. Traveler enters this match fresh off an astounding victory over Mr. Moonsault, and will guarantee a harsh welcome to Nguyen as she arrives.

Queen's Rangers(Phil Mercury and Valerie May) vs. Apocalypse Now(Masa Tokugawa and Ai Tanaka)
A tantalyzing crossover bout between Wacker Drive and L-Pro, with the Rangers seeking to postpone the end of their times, as they face the Apocalyptic Warrior Masa Tokugawa and his fast learning student, Ai Tanaka. The crux of this match will be centered around Tokugawa's Apocalypse Knee, and whether he can hit it properly, or if Mercury and May can keep him from landing what might be the single most dangerous striking attack in all of professional wrestling.

Keiko Maeda(Phoenix Rising) vs. Kaede Kinoshita
A tough challenge and a possible assessment for the current form of Keiko Maeda, as she goes up against the Stardust Angel, Kaede Kinoshita, one of L-Pro's top rising prospects. Maeda will have to dig deep and utilize all of her formidable submission skills to come out ahead against Kinoshita and her well rounded attack.

Rei Hasegawa vs. Naoka Takemura
A feud that has been building some heat as of late, with L-Pro's two most egotistical beauties once again clashing, this time, in singles competition. Rei Hasegawa may have made serious progress, both in and out of the ring as she progresses in the Blackwood Academy, but Naoka Takemura believes that she, and only she, can be the true Star of the Show, and seeks to diminish Hasegawa in the process.

Preliminary Main Event
Strong Style Royalty(Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi(Pan African Wrestling) and G.P. Christopher) and the Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto) vs. HEEL Club(GORO, Satoshi Iguchi, and Pure HEEL(Kenzo Kobayashi and Kenji Sawada))(ZIP Japan)
A proper extravaganza will open up the show for GPC's Preliminary Main Event, as he waits on the results of the Endo-Hashi match for his next challenge for the Victorious Medal. Christopher will team with an old friend, in Pan African Ambassador, Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi as well as the fearsome Destructive Duo of Honda and Yamamoto up against some of the most nefarious members of ZIP Japan's roster, with the former Gorobei Jr, GORO leading the way, bringing along the Cutter King, Satoshi Iguchi and the well oiled machine of Pure HEEL, Kobayashi and Sawada.

[Senator Phillips]

[Senator Phillips]

Mr. Moonsault: This is what it all comes down to, you guys did the dirty work, now we're going to reap the rewards.

Freight Train McMichaelson: Hell yeah we are! Blue Destiny's, you know, super tough! But we're gonna be super tougher!

Daunte Thomas: Super tougher? Methinks thou hast lost the last of your brain cells.

Moonsault: Let's stay on track here. We need to be on the same page tonight. Blue Destiny have been strong champions, they've beaten a list of who's who around here. But that ends now! We draw the line here. Chicago's watching us! The eyes of the Senatorial Office are on us here! We have a lot of pressure on our shoulders. But we can handle that, we're built to handle that. It's time we do what we do best. We're getting The Loop back for the D-Team, where it belongs!

Freight Train: We'll hit them like a pack of Midway Monsters!

Daunte: We'll hit them like a Brooklyn special, served up fast and hard.

Moonsault: We'll hit them from above, before they knew what hit them. Let's get this, D-Team!

---

Nishimura Endo:(Translated from Japanese) <I did not honor Worldwide Conquest's aims and goals when I traveled over and debuted for Dragon Fire wrestling. I fought a man smaller than myself, and I will be honest, I was utterly destroyed. I still am not sure what happened, but it reflected shame on myself, and on Lightning Pro that I was so easily defeated. As such, I told Shima Ito that if I was to remain the number one contender, I should have to re-earn that status. And that is why I am facing Rumika Hashi. To see if I do deserve the honor to take on George Paul Christopher. If I cannot defeat Rumika, then I willfully pass along my challenge for the Victorious Medal. But she should be warned. I intend to use this match to make the point that I am not yet done. My uncontrollable temper of years past has been quelled. But my pride is not dead. This, I will demonstrate. And then I will have cast off all doubts.>

---

Rumika Hashi: <Nishimura Endo is a big tough man. He thinks he must pay amends for his loss in Dragon Fire. This is why he has offered this match to me. While I respect Nishimura as a competitor, I say that he is a fool! Winning and losing is part of this sport! You sometimes lose to people you should not have lost to. That is not dishonorable, that is life! He had the chance to reclaim the Victorious Medal, but now, I will do everything in my power to see that he does not! Foolishness! Why would you put something like that in doubt! You never know what happens from week to week! You have to grasp every opportunity and hold onto it with everything you have! When Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto nearly ended my career, beating me mercilessly in that locker room after I beat Honda, I spent over a year in kickboxing to toughen myself back up! Every day I trained, my shins aching, my ribs hurting, all I wanted to do was to return to professional wrestling, and to be strong enough to fight off any threat! I swore that I would make the best of my career as soon as I could make that return, and I have done just that! I have lost matches since then, but I have won many of them too, and I promise, I will not relinquish this opportunity for anything! Nishimura, you have made a terrible mistake, and when our match is over, I hope that even an old dog like you can still learn a lesson like that!>

The X-Treme Kid: So, I just have one more question for you now, Total MDK...

Emerald Santiago: Here we go again...

DUDE Smith: I know what it is!

XTK: Taylor Nguyen...

"Total MDK" Taylor Ngyuen: That's my name.

XTK: I said, TAYLOR NGYUEN!

Taylor: WHAT?

XTK: TAYLOR NGYUEN, ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE YOU REAAAAAAAADY?

Taylor: Yeah, I'm ready.

DUDE: Haha, she's said she's ready to...

XTK: I SAID, ARE YOU READY?

Taylor: That's what I said, I'm ready.

DUDE: Hah's she's totally ready to...

XTK: I SAID, ARE YOU READY?

Taylor: Hey, dipshit, if you yell in my face again, I'm going to kick you in the dick so hard that your great grandfather's pelvis is going to explode in his grave, you got that, asshole?

XTK: Aw yeah, you're ready for that debut match tonight! Don't forget my training out there, you're a backyard badass, now it's time to show them that you're a world class badass, go out there and wreck Astro Traveler's cosmic world, and make sure to tell him that once you beat him up and beat him down, and he's groaning and moaning on that mat, that you've got two words for him.

DUDE: SUCK IT!

Emerald: DUDE, would you please stop doing that?

XTK: Yeah, really, you just ruined it for all of us, DUDE, come on, man!

---

GP Christopher: This is gonna be something else. Two of the baddest teams in all the lands, teaming up together to take on some of ZIP Japan's legends in the one and only Preliminary Main Event. Can't beat that.

Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi: I entirely agree! When the unbeatable connection of Strong Style Royalty reunite, when the unfathomable power of the Destructive Duo are joined, with the combined might of Nigeria, Philadelphia and Kyoto, we will be invincible!

Crusher Honda: Little man, there is no way you are invincible! You should be happy you are on my team! Because if you were not, I would break you into bloody pieces and stomp those pieces into smaller, bloodier pieces!

Wrecker Yamamoto: Hah! She would! And I would, too!

Ali: Now that is not very kind to say to someone who has gone out of his way to join forces with you!

Crusher: We are not kind!

Wrecker: We hate kindness!

Crusher: But we love destruction!

GPC: That's not wrong. But like you said, we are happy you're on our team for once.

Crusher: Don't let us down, or you'll pay a price!

GPC: Yeah, yeah, you want a shot at my Victorious Medal down the road, just talk to Super Grey Shima. I'm not scared.

Crusher: You should be!

GPC: Probably, but when you get the holy hell beaten out of you by the Bingo Hall Mutants and your flesh ripped by barbed wire on a regular basis as a rookie, then you kinda don't get scared...by anything. Besides, why not let Wrecker take her shot first, I'm sure she wants one, too. I gotta get past either Hashi or Endo here, but once I do that, then I'll be more than happy to give both of you a match. Not at the same time, aw no, I'm fearless, but not that foolish!

Wrecker: Hahaha! We would enjoy that very much! Both of us against you! That would be murder!

GPC: Yeah, well, it probably would be...but for now, let's just talk about murderizing those ZIP guys, alright?

Honda: Let's crack their skulls like eggs on a skillet and watch their brain fluids soak into the mat while everyone fills the arena with the cry of their despair!

Ali: Um, let's not go that far? Really, I do not find that idea to be very pleasant at all! Not at all!

[LankyLefty17]

Awesome show Sen.  My random thoughts...

SPOILER: Click to show

The prelim main event lived up to its usual high expectations- I have missed seeing GORO in a ring, but holy shit seeing GPC of all people getting pinned was a shocker.  Queens Rangers losing made me way more upset than I had any right to be.  CM Freddie needs a singles push in my humble opinion.  As excited as I was to see MDK debut, I'm a huge Astro Traveler mark and I was happy to see a win there.  What is up with Endo?  Did that upset to Suzuki break him?  He never looked himself in that match, though props to Hashi on the victory.  The Loop may need to be renamed "The Blue Destiny" because I dont see a path to anyone taking that title (although there is a well dressed Warrior Pro Chicagoan with a couple friends who is actively recruiting a female member so he can take a shot at them).

Just a really fun show, as usual apologies for missing it live but I've really enjoyed the cross promotional format that the Office has been using lately.

Wacker Drive Revival x Lightning Pro: A ZIPtacular Showdown
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 8th at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington, DC

Main Event: The Loop Championship Bout
Blue Destiny(Jin Matsuda, Maki Yoshida and Yumi Yamaguchi)(ZIP Japan)(C) vs. The D-Team(Mr. Moonsault, D-Man Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson)

Blue Destiny is nigh on invincible. Save for one non-title loss to the Syndicate, the trio, in any of their permutations, have managed to defend The Loop with a dominant tenacity worthy of Jordan's Bulls or Russell's Celtics. The D-Team, save for a moonsault from Marcus Xavier, were simply outclassed to an almost embarrasing degree, with Maki Yoshida obliterating the D-Man with his Blue Crush brainbuster powerbomb. Can anyone dethrone these three? This question still remains open...

Bonus Match
Miss Bauhaus vs. Lucretia DeCavalcante

A match thrown on the card at the last minute, with the Syndicate boss, DeCavalcante having a surprising degree of trouble with the world renowned pop star, and Miss Bauhaus made her pay, landing a brutal Lightning Spiral near the ropes, resulting in a knockout win. It appears that Bauhaus's hard work is paying off, in a big way, and this win could answer a lot of questions surrounding her capability.

Lightning Pro Title Eliminator
Rumika Hashi vs. Nishimura Endo

Something is wrong with Nishimura Endo. The former Victorious Medal holder and respected veteran has found it more and more difficult to pull the trigger in his recent matches, and a determined Rumika Hashi took full advantage of this issue, slowly working Endo over with her kicks and quick takedowns, before hitting a blistering extended combination ending with back to back Sparrowhawk Kicks to seal the deal. Even a surprising question mark kick from Endo couldn't slow Hashi down or set up his vaunted match ending series.

TOTAL MDK Debut Match
"TOTAL MDK", Taylor Nguyen vs. Astro Traveler

Surprisingly, one of the best matches of the night, as "Total MDK" and Astro Traveler fought at a breakneck pace through much of the run time. Nguyen caught an especially hard spin back kick to the solar plexus at one point for repeated crotch chops, and did manage to land a usual NBNF approved bronco buster, along with some of her lightspeed backflip kicks, but it would be the Traveler who held on, biding his time near the end of the match, all the better to catch Nguyen off guard with a flash pin rollup counter.

Queen's Rangers(Phil Mercury and Valerie May) vs. Apocalypse Now(Masa Tokugawa and Ai Tanaka)

It seemed as if the Queen's Rangers were en route to victory, with Phil Mercury landing his trademark diving elbows and Valerie May bashing both of her foes with a variety of powerbombs, but Masa Tokugawa should always be feared, especially past the twenty minute mark, and a crushing Apocalypse Knee would put May down for the count, yet another knockout to Tokugawa's name.

Keiko Maeda(Phoenix Rising) vs. Kaede Kinoshita

Keiko Maeda waged a spirited battle against Kaede Kinoshita, her ferocious chops taking a toll on L-Pro's fast rising prospect, especially down the stretch. However, the Stardust Angel managed to hold on, landing a poison rana to take a tough earned victory, undoubtedly relieved to hit the move when she managed to do so.

Rei Hasegawa vs. Naoka Takemura

A better than solid match with both women on a near even standing through most of this one, but Rei Hasegawa was the one standing at the end following a Gory Special Facebuster.

Preliminary Main Event
Strong Style Royalty(Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi(Pan African Wrestling) and G.P. Christopher) and the Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto) vs. HEEL Club(GORO, Satoshi Iguchi, and Pure HEEL(Kenzo Kobayashi and Kenji Sawada))(ZIP Japan)

A hard hitting match that seemed to demonstrate separate dynamics between Strong Style Royalty and the Destructive Duo. The ZIP crew were in good form, with GORO as annoyingly dominant as ever, Pure HEEL showing some of their usual tag intelligence and Satoshi Iguchi picked up one of the biggest wins of his career when, following an extended series with GP Christopher, he hit an avalanche cutter on the Victorious Medal holder.

---

Match of the Night: Queen's Rangers vs. Apocaylpse Now
-In a night full of solid, but not overwhelmingly impressive matches, this one takes the prize, as the Rangers and the Apocalyptic Warriors both left everything in the ring, everyone performing at a high level until the brutal finish.

Performer of the Night: Rumika Hashi
-A determined, focused showing from Hashi, doing exactly what she set out to do against Nishimura Endo, and despite Endo's recent dip in form, any win over the former champ is still highly valued.

---

Injury Report

Valerie May: Mild Concussion (Two Month Medical Suspension)
-Following an Apocalypse Knee, May was rendered unconscious, but had a quick recovery following the match, with the usual two month minimum suspension policy coming into play for a knockout loss.

Lucretia DeCavalcante: Moderate Concussion, Whiplash, Dislocated Shoulder (Four Month Medical Suspension)
-With her shocking knockout loss to Miss Bauhaus's lightning spiral, the Cutting Edge, DeCavalcante did not just suffer injury to her pride, but also will have to spend the next four months on the shelf, recuperating not just from a concussion, but also healing neck and shoulder issues. One can imagine this will not sit well with her going forward.

[Senator Phillips]

Following the Preliminary Main Event, GP Christopher approached a camera in the backstage area, a smile crossing the lower part of his face, while his eyes told another story.

GP Christopher: Ok, let me just get this done right off. Iguchi's a hell of a guy, I made the mistake of mixing it up with him, and learned the hard way what happens when you do that with the Cutter King. But let me say this; I know I let my team down, no excuses, I know I did. And...

At this point, Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto stomped over, with Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi shuffling close behind.

Crusher Honda: We should drag you in that locker room and teach you a lesson!

Wrecker Yamamoto: A lesson of pain!

GPC: Hey, look, the GP Club is closed for until we're back in Kyoto, ok?

Wrecker: What?

GPC: Just a joke, just a joke, but seriously, Iguchi might think he just punched his ticket to a title shot, but he's got a long line ahead of him, hell, he has a long line just to jump in the shark tank they call the Lightning Pro top card. Now, I know I let you both down, but you'll still get your shots after Endo or Hashi get theirs. My money's on Endo, though, old man's still got game...

Crusher: You better win. Because if you don't, we're still coming for you!

GPC: Hey, you know where and when to find me. Right here in my Preliminary Main Event.

Honda stared Christopher down for a moment, but turned away with a sneer on her face, grabbing Wrecker by the elbow and dragging her along as she headed along. For his part, Mehrmohammdi cautiously edged over and gestured to GPC.

Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi: You are very crazy, do you know this?

GPC: Buddy, you know better. I let them scare me, and I'm toast. You don't become the King of the Openers by turning down challenges...and those two, they're a pair of challenges that could cement my legacy.

---

Big Robert Montgomery: Alright, it's clear now that Wacker Drive's got a big problem with the blues. And I ain't talkin' about the stuff my band plays. I'm talking about three bad operators who rolled in here from ZIP Japan and snatched up The Loop like it belonged to them. And the way they've fought since then, it might as well belong to them. So, since none of our usual teams seem to have the chops, I'm taking it upon myself to put together something big for next time around. What I'm talking about here, is that Blue Destiny is picking one member, and we'll get a member from the Action Pack, from the Syndicate, from NBNF, the Internationale, the Three Lions and one of my Blue Notes. I'll even let Astrid Johannson represent the D-Team, since the rest of her teammates just failed in their try. So then, you got an eight person royale, last person out wins The Loop for their team. Blue Destiny's had a great run, but they better be ready to beat the odds from here on out, 'cause at this point, they proved everything else they could prove.

---

The X-Treme Kid: Welcome to the bigs, that's what it's like!

"Total MDK" Taylor Nguyen: Sure thing, dad.

XTK: But yeah, you play with the big boys, you gotta step that game up!

Emerald Santiago: Come on, it's her first match out here, Taylor did just fine for that, can't we all agree?

Taylor: Shut up, Emerald, I don't need some pity party here! I got my ass kicked by some funky karate lucha guy, that pisses me off.

DUDE Smith: You told him to suck it, though! That's what I call a win, haha!

Taylor: Only thing worse than losing to him is having to listen to your stupid tunnel vision one track dumbass verbal diarrhea, screw that, all-caps DUDE, why don't you cut off your tongue and suck on that?

XTK: Aw, calm down, Taylor, we're a team here, we don't need this. Hey, DUDE's a dipshit, Em's just being Em, but we all need you here! So what, you lost a match? HHH used to be Terra Ryzin, then he got squashed by the Ultimate Warrior! He only came back to start the group that changed the business and became the best wrestler of all time! Come on, you just stepped up to be part of NBNF, we're changing the world! We need you here to bring about a motherfreakin' revolution in professional wrestling! Don't walk out on us now, unless you're just a pansy quitter, in which case, there's the door!

Taylor: You calling me a quitter? I'll show you a pansy when I kick your teeth down your throat! Wait, you trying to piss me off even more? Because if you are...

XTK: Yeah! Remember that and next time, introduce Wacker Drive Revival to the real Total MDK! Go kick Sarita Jean Watkins's teeth down her throat! Go find Big Bob Montgomery's office and kick his ass, everybody hates the boss, right? Maybe we have you go fight one of the pretty girls or old farts from Lightning Pro, but whatever it is, don't get even, get mad! Because I know what you're capable of when you're mad and all I have to do then, is to get outta the way!

Taylor: Far as I'm concerned, any of them end up facing me next time, they can...

DUDE: SUCK IT!

Taylor: That.

Lucretia DeCavalcante is seen in the medical room following her evaluation, and has a cell phone to her ear as the camera listens in.

Lucretia DeCavalcante: Sure...no, can't do that. Yes, she hurt me bad. Yes, it was the pop star. Yes, that pop star. No, it is going to be months before I can do that again. It is out of the question. So...are you kidding me? You want me to bring him over? Is he even able to wrestle for the Office? No, I am not questioning that choice. I will roll out the red carpet. Bloody red carpet, right? Thank you for understanding...

Nishimura Endo: <It is what it is. Something is missing. I do not understand how I defeat the likes of Tarkhan, and then it is all wrong every time I wrestle. But if this the end of my journey in professional wrestling, I must return to Dragon Fire one more time, to see if this is the case. And if I can no longer perform at the level I expect when I do that, I will help ALEXANDER defend the Victorious Tag Medals until we lose the belts, or Tarkhan is ready once again to compete. And if he is, I want one more match with him, and following that, I will continue on a new path in my life. That is all I have to say.>

[Senator Phillips]

UCSS and Pan African Wrestling meet again for a consequential card, with the Congolese Connection facing two potential challengers for JPM's Number One, and a massive eight person UCSS Openweight Grand Prix tournament with Dangerous Nicholas Alger entering the fray to put his title on the line!



Pan African Wrestling x UCSS: The Road to the Top
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday May 15th at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington DC

Main Event: UCSS Grand Prix Finals
This is it, the concluding match in the UCSS Grand Prix, whoever comes out ahead here will be the new UCSS Openweight Champion...unless Dangerous Nicholas Alger can overcome the odds.

Congolese Connection(Jean-Pierre Mutombo and Professor Mark Gizenga) vs. Young Blood(PEWA) and King Bemba
A titanic tussle of gargantuan proportions, with the Office #1 Ranked Jean-Pierre Mutombo and Professor Gizenga facing two men who have their sights set on Mutombo's status. The PEWA Extreme champion, Young Blood has been outspoken in his desire to dethrone Mutombo, while the former #1, and former Pan African Champion, King Bemba has been silent since losing his titles. Word has it that Senatorial Office Chairman, Anthony Kalb will be eyeing this match with the intention of determining the future challenger for Mutombo's Number One.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament Semi Finals
Winner of Alger-Van Sloan vs. Winner of Markovic-Banner

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament Semi Finals
Winner of Wong-Angulo vs. Winner of Becker-Butt

Mercenaries in Exile(Renate Barlowe and the Warbringer), Ibrahim Rahman and Anwar Omar vs. The Egyptian Dynasty(Mohammad Ramses and Nefertiri) and the Black Star Cyclones(Layla Al-Amin(Phoenix Rising) and Esi Dogboe)
A massive eight person tag with three of Pan Africa's top teams and a potential new contender in the mix firing away. The Egyptian Dynasty and the Black Star Cyclones have a long history, with a friendly rivalry between Dogboe, Nefertiri and Al-Amin only interrupted by their frequent teamups. The Mercenaries in Exile came close to winning the inaugural Pan African Tag Championship, and have found powerful allies for this match in Ibrahim Rahman and Anwar Omar, a duo combining the relentless technical approach of Rahman with the Somalian Survivor's simple, determined style.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Dangerous Nicholas Alger(C) vs. Frank Van Sloan
The champ will take on one of the most recent additions to UCSS in the opening round of the Grand Prix, pitting his hybrid approach against the flashy kickboxing and signature Uberkick jump spinning crescent of Frank Van Sloan. FVS has had a spotted record in the Office, but has been competitive even in his losses, and should provide a legitimate threat to Alger if he is not at his best.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Minerva Markovic vs. "Big Banter" Rory Banner
The Croatian Axe will have a difficult start to her time in the Grand Prix, as she goes up against the currently-muzzled trash talking specialist of UCSS in Rory Banner. While "Big Banter" has not been able to run his mouth since losing to Dangerous Nicholas Alger in a recent match, he should not be underestimated between the ropes, with his intricate submission skills and heavy knee strikes. Markovic, for her part, has had a strong run as of late, handing Della Dwight her first loss in the Office and her focused kickboxing skills and underrated suplexes may well take her far in the GP.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Gang Wong vs. "Tijuana Wreckin' Ball" Marcos Angulo
A big matchup in the first round between two of the most popular and accomplished members of the UCSS roster. Marcos Angulo is currently the standout member of the TIPWF Lone Star Trios champions in the High Plains Drifters and has had success in outside competition as well. His effective bar fighting techniques ensure that few opponents can survive for long if he can establish his clinch game. Gang Wong, on the other hand, is a former UCSS Openweight champion, with a spectacular, athletic style and superb defensive grappling, and the Shaolin Superstar has no lack of confidence.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Sanem Becker vs. Jumbo Joseph Butt
A battle of technique versus power, as top contender, Sanem Becker will seek to neutralize the big overhand right and the deadly powerbombs of Newcastle upon Tyne's Joseph Butt. The former heavyweight boxer packs a big punch, and can destroy opponents in close, but sometimes suffers from a lack of focus, while Becker has looked entirely unstoppable at times, but also has had less than optimal showings in big time matchups. Even so, Becker should be considered a favorite in the tournament, should she be able to win in the opening stanza.

[importANT]

Damn, that is a massive card. Can't wait ^^

[Senator Phillips]

Dangerous Nicholas Alger: Lots of people called me up lately. Told me I'm nuts. You see, this isn't what people do. Champs don't book themselves in a big Grand Prix tournament to defend their belts. It's stacking the odds, against me. I fight so long for a big time title, and I do this? Well, if there's one thing the Dangerous One isn't afraid of, it's a challenge. And I don't plan on holding the Openweight belt forever. Or for all that long. Longer I hold this, the longer I hold back the rest of the roster. And as the boss, I can't do that. So, I'm giving everyone their shot. Seven top contenders, all on one night, climb up that ladder, make your dream come true. But if you think I'm looking to roll over and play dead, you've got another thing coming! I'm still gonna uncork some Dangerous Kicks! I'm still gonna slap on some Bermuda Triangles! I ain't giving this belt away, you're gonna have to come get it! So, think you got what it takes? Come get some!

---

Young Blood: I don't fuckin' care what anyone says about Mutombo! He's shit outta luck now! The bitch ass shitbags who run this Office thought they could just hold on and make me go away, but I'm right here! And because I'm too fuckin' stubborn to die, I'm going to take your big headliner, your corporate figurehead, and I'm gonna fuck him up so bad that he's not even gonna be able to have another match! I see I'm in this with King Bemba. The guy they call the Destroyer. After beating the shit out of all the worthless nobodies in the PEWA, I'm actually not pissed about that. Bemba, unlike all that Philly trash, is legit. But he's not standing in my fuckin' way after this match is done. Just remember that, Anthony Kalb. Go call up your board right now, and tell them, when this is done, either I get what I deserve, or I'm wagin' a mothafuckin' war on everything you got going here!

---

King Bemba: I have not spoken since I lost. There was nothing to say. I was the Pan African Champion. I was the Number One. And then, I was a king without a crown. One night changed everything. Nothing made sense. And it was not only that I lost, but that I lost to Senator Steve Phillips, a man who no longer wrestles anymore! I could not even plan a path of revenge against him! I thought about retiring as well. There was nothing left for me in this game. I conquered the world! What point is it to claw back into things after that? But then I was told by one of my royal associates to watch the television. I watch a program about the most famous athlete since Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan. I watch how he left at his best, and returned once again to reclaim his true place. And I realize that I cannot rest. I am still King Bemba! A king without his crown must reclaim what is rightfully his by birthright! And it is my birthright to again reign in this realm of professional wrestling!

Bemba: So it was just and right that I made my royal proclamation to Anthony Kalb, and I demanded that I face the man who holds what was once, and will once again be mine! But Kalb told me that before he gives me the match I so desire, I must team with a reprehensible cretin to take on Mutombo and his Congolese ally. Young Blood is a man without honor, he does not have royal blood running through his veins. He believes his reign is inevitable, even so. I will team with him for this one time. But know this, Young Blood, should you be arrogant enough to put yourself between me and what belongs to me, I will not hesitate to break your body! I will end your career without hesitation! Do not cross me! This fight is between Jean-Pierre Mutumbo and I, and it will remain as such! Thus it is said, thus it shall be!

---

Jean-Pierre Mutombo: Greetings and salutations to all the wonderful fans of wrestling who hear my words right now! It has been too long since I, Jean-Pierre have defended either one of the wondrous championship honors that have been placed upon me back at Lariats and Legislators #10! But soon, this will change! Not this Friday, for on Friday, it will be the glorious return of the Congolese Connection, of Jean-Pierre and the Professor Mark to face a terrifyingly imposing duo of destroyers and rebels! And make no mistake, this match will be very much dangerous for us both!

Professor Mark Gizenga: That is very much correct, Jean-Pierre! Young Blood is, by the estimations of my mind, the most dangerous man in all of the Senatorial Office! He does not show any of the mercy that normal wrestlers show, he does not ever hold back, he faces great risk in every match but does not care even for his own health! And King Bemba is strong as a mountain and he is tough as...a mountain as well! He has beaten you before! Do you remember this?

JPM: I know that they are both great threats to my belt and to my Number One! But I cannot be the top man of the Senatorial Office if I am not willing to face the best, every time I wrestle! I cannot make all of my fans happy if I do not inspire them by taking on the toughest challenges! I must dare to be the best I can be! We together, must show everyone that we know the danger, but we are not scared!

Professor: Speak for yourself, Jean-Pierre! I am very scared of this match because I have a more rational mind, a more analytical mind than yours! But we can survive this, if we are intelligent to approach this with a proper plan!

JPM: My plan is to give the people the match that will make them the happiest by giving them the action and the thrills they deserve!

Professor: And mine is to make them less happy by not letting the big fearsome opponents kill me in the ring!

JPM: It is ok, Professor Mark, we can both make our ways work for us here! I will test myself against them both, and you can earn us the win if I do not beat them first!

Professor: I will be very happy to let you do the most of the work!

JPM: And I will be good in doing it! Let us show them all that we are not outmatched! We are the Congolese Connection!

[importANT]

Before the next show happens, let's "review" (or rather, take a look at some unfocused thoughts I had :P) the last one, shall we? Good thing about this coming late is that I'm gonna be able to include my thoughts on the promos that followed. So, here we go:

Preliminary Main Event
Strong Style Royalty(Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi(Pan African Wrestling) and G.P. Christopher) and the Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto) vs. HEEL Club(GORO, Satoshi Iguchi, and Pure HEEL(Kenzo Kobayashi and Kenji Sawada))(ZIP Japan)

ZIP Japan is on a roll in the Office as of late. Not only does Blue Destiny retain the Loop yet again (more to that later), but now one of their own defeat the King of the Openers/Victorious Medal owner! Like I said in the stream, it was cool to see GORO and Satoshi Iguchi after watching the ZIP Japan X Lightning Pro Shows not so long ago. Also, this was my first time seeing Pure HEEL in action, and it was an alright first impression. Also also, awesome to see Mehrmohammdi back with GPC. Love me some Strong Style Royalty. The match itself was a lot of fun to watch. Everyone got their chance to shine. Although what won't be fun is the mood that the Destructive Duo will be in. I'll wonder if they'll get the chance to vent some frustrations at the next show.

Rei Hasegawa vs. Naoka Takemura

Battle of the Egos, finally concluded (?). Both of them fought the good fight, but in the end, Rei was victorious. Oh man, I'm actually glad that we won't be able to follow Naoka's social media feed. She'll probably complain day in and out :P I'll have to follow Blackwood Academy some more, to see what's next for Rei and her White Hot tag team partner, Keiko Maeda. Speaking of ...

Keiko Maeda(Phoenix Rising) vs. Kaede Kinoshita

I love Kaede Kinoshita. Her matches are almost always fun to watch when I sim her against other edits. Her match here was proof of that. The match was good, and the right girl won ^^ At least White Hot got one win that night. Keiko's time will come :)

Queen's Rangers(Phil Mercury and Valerie May) vs. Apocalypse Now(Masa Tokugawa and Ai Tanaka)

Phil is always a highlight when he competes, but maaaaan ... Masa is a beast! Like I said before, I'm currently watching a lot of old Office shows, and I believe he is the one with the most Critical wins in the Office. That Knee is devastating. Poor Valerie.

TOTAL MDK Debut Match
"TOTAL MDK", Taylor Nguyen vs. Astro Traveler

Good showing for Taylor here. Sure, she lost the match, but giving Astro Traveler that much trouble is something to be proud of. It's almost sad to see her with XTK and DUDE (Emerald is cool ^^), but hey, NBNF does now have their Chyna :P

Lightning Pro Title Eliminator
Rumika Hashi vs. Nishimura Endo

Oh Endo. You were on a roll, and now? Man, that loss in Dragon Fire really must have shaken him. I hope he can rebound when he gets a rematch in Dragon Fire. But let's not take anything away from Hashi. She definitely earned her shot at the Victorious Medal in this match. Now, let's see if she can use her deadly kicks will be enough to dethrone Philly Strong Style. If his loss on this show is any indication, then her chances are good. But I'll never bet against my man ^^

Bonus Match
Miss Bauhaus vs. Lucretia DeCavalcante

Oh sweet, first time seeing Lucreatia in action for me. The match was alright, nothing to special to be honest. I'm actually more interested in who it is she has to bring in, according to the promo. My first guess would be that it might be Mr. Cobra, but perhaps it is someone completely different? Intriguing stuff indeed.

Main Event: The Loop Championship Bout
Blue Destiny(Jin Matsuda, Maki Yoshida and Yumi Yamaguchi)(ZIP Japan)(C) vs. The D-Team(Mr. Moonsault, D-Man Daunte Thomas and Freight Train McMichaelson)

Well, there we have it. The second ZIP Japan win on this night. The D-Team gave it their all, but Blue Destiny is just unstoppable. But I'm curious if their reign will survive the 8 Person Battle royal at the next event. That's gonna be a blast ^^


Alright, got my thoughts in before the next event. Now, I hope I'll be able to catch the next show live. But even if I don't, I'll still continue to write my thoughts right here :)

[Senator Phillips]

(Thanks for that awesome review, that was quite the entertaining read!)

Anthony Kalb: Thank you all for listening, I'll make this short and to the point. Tonight at 8:00 PM, Central Time, the Senatorial Office will air Pan African Wrestling and UCSS: Road to the Top, live on the Senatorial Streaming Service.

www.twitch.tv/senatorphillips

Kalb: Tonight, we'll see the Dangerous One, UCSS Commissioner Nicholas Alger defend his UCSS Openweight title against seven other dangerous opponents in a UCSS Grand Prix tournament. Winner of that will be the next champ, that is, unless Alger somehow wins out. Pan African Wrestling will also have a featured match with some important ramifications for the Office as a whole. Pan African Champion and Office Number One Ranked Jean-Pierre Mutombo will bring the Congolese Connection alongside Professor Mark Gizenga to take on the nightmarish team of King Bemba and PEWA Extreme champ, Young Blood. What's notable about this match, and what I want to announce now, is that there are a number of possible results here. Should either Bemba or Young Blood render Mutombo unable to continue, they will face each other for the new Number One Ranking, on a show soon to be set. Should either defeat either member of the Connection, there will be a triple threat match in the near future, with Mutombo, Bemba and Young Blood competing for the prize. If the Connection wins, Mutombo will have the privilege of naming which of the two he prefers to face first. Yes, that's a convoluted set of rules, but I want to spell things out now. Good luck to all the competitors, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the Beltway.

[Senator Phillips]

And here's the results of a fast moving night of hard hitting action!

RESULTS

---

Pan African Wrestling x UCSS: The Road to the Top
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday May 15th at the Beltway Hippodrome in Washington DC

Main Event: UCSS Openweight Championship Bout - UCSS Grand Prix Finals
Jumbo Jospeh Butt vs. "Big Banter" Rory Banner

This was it, the culmination of the UCSS GP, and it did not dissapoint. Rory Banner's skill was on full display, but it was not the determining factor. Instead, near the end of the second round, a quickly fading Jumbo Joseph Butt dug deep and uncorked the trusty overhand one more time, blasting Banner, right in front of referee Raymond Allen Fleming, all the better for Butt to drop down and gain the three count for the biggest win of his professional wrestling career, claiming the UCSS Grand Prix trophy and the UCSS Openweight title!

Congolese Connection(Jean-Pierre Mutombo and Professor Mark Gizenga) vs. Young Blood(PEWA) and King Bemba

A violent, hard hitting affair that quickly turned into a bloodbath with Bemba opened up early on. Professor Gizenga more than held his own, despite his perception as the weak link of the four, neatly neutralizing the bulk of his opponent's power offence and even managed to inflict significant damage on Young Blood at one point, apparently tweaking the PEWA champ's shoulder on a pin attempt. From that point, the match dove directly into a sea of chaos, Young Blood turning up the violence, busting out the fork attacks, Bemba landing big shots, Gizenga repeatedly going for the Dissertation of Doom, and JPM managing to plant Young Blood with the Unifier brainbuster side slam into the Sensational Drop pinning elbow to take the win. Following the match, it was announced that JPM would face both Bemba and Young Blood in a triple threat with the Number One Ranking on the line in the future.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament Semi Finals
Dangerous Nicholas Alger vs. "Big Banter" Rory Banner

A rematch from their previous confrontation, but this time, "Big Banter" Banner was better prepared, doing his best to neturalize the big kicks and submission attacks of Alger, eventually putting the UCSS Commissioner away with a series of elbow strikes from back mount as Swingin' Suzie called for the stoppage. Banner's mutual disdain of and from the fanbase could not have been stronger than at this moment.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament Semi Finals
Marcos Angulo vs. Jumbo Joseph Butt

Angulo's strength was almost unreal in this match, hitting deadlift germans and backdrops on his girthy foe, but Jumbo held on, slamming him late in the match with an elbow to the face and another to the back before gaining a pinfall win to go to the finals, with the support of the fans.

Mercenaries in Exile(Renate Barlowe and the Warbringer), Ibrahim Rahman and Anwar Omar vs. The Egyptian Dynasty(Mohammad Ramses and Nefertiri) and the Black Star Cyclones(Layla Al-Amin(Phoenix Rising) and Esi Dogboe)

A shockingly fast matchup between the two Pan African teams, both sides were barely able to become acquanted with each other when Esi Dogboe landed her Black Star Cannonball twisting 630 senton on Renate Barlowe to end the match with a statement.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Dangerous Nicholas Alger(C) vs. Frank Van Sloan

Frank Van Sloan gave a decent effort, but it was clear that the Uberkicker was outmatched by the Dangerous One, with the champ dropping him on his head with Karelin Lifts and landing increasingly more powerful kicks before his signature high power roundhouse, the Dangerous Kick would turn out the lights for the Belgian.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Minerva Markovic vs. "Big Banter" Rory Banner

The Croatian Axe controlled the pace of this match for three rounds straight, landing her signature kick to the collarbone of her taller opponent, and managing to keep in rhythm, both in striking and the clinch. Rory Banner, for all his talk, is yet a phenomenally talented, tough fighter, and held on long enough to allow Markovic to tire later in the fight, and when he saw the opening, he managed to catch her in the Banner Effect, his triangle lancer variation to gain the win.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Gang Wong vs. Marcos Angulo

Easily one of the best matches of the tournament, with Wong and Angulo going back and forth with their best techniques, Wong able to use his movement and remarkably fast combinations to his advantage, while Angulo tanked the attacks and hit his own suplexes. However, it would be a simple body punch combination that would allow the Tijuana Wreckin' Ball to proceed in the tournament, with Wong unable to make it back up at ten.

UCSS Grand Prix Tournament
Sanem Becker vs. Jumbo Joseph Butt

A match that started out with Jumbo landing the bigger moves, slowly seemed to shift into Becker's favor as she spiked the Geordie Giant on his head with successive suplexes, and came close to landing more if his bulk didn't get in the way. Butt was falling back further behind when he reached deep and blasted the Turkish-German grappler with his signature overhand for a knockout win.

---

Match of the Night: Congolese Connection vs. Young Blood and Bemba
-As good as some of the tournament matches, Wong-Angulo in particular were, this was the clear cut winner of the award, with high stakes, drama, back and forth action and a proper showing from all four competitors.

Performance of the Night: Jumbo Joseph Butt
-An easy call, given that the Geordie Giant cut through the entire UCSS GP tournament, and emerged as the champion, and also soldified his status as a clear fan favorite in UCSS.

---

Injury Report

Sanem Becker: Minor Concussion (Three month medical suspension)
-Becker was dropped by a Jumbo overhand, and did not get back up under her own power. The diagnosis was clear as was the resulting medical suspension.

Frank Van Sloan: Minor Concussion (Three month medical suspension)
-Demolished by an Alger Dangerous Kick, Van Sloan, like Becker, has been suspended for the customary three months as a consequence of his concussion.

---

Jumbo Joseph Butt: Howay, man, that was geet bonnie time out there! All of 'em tried, but none of 'em 'ad what it took like I did, haha! Not that wee bonnie hinny, aye, this gadgie varmant showed 'er what's best, hahaha! Not that belta hard squat un' he's a propa radge 'un, but aye showed 'im, too, haha! Then aye 'ad ta face that charva doylem prig, an' aye showed 'im too just like tha' rest of 'em! Now look 'et who's t' champ, 'ere! Aye'm the Superweight Openweight fella in UCSS, hahahaha!

---

Jean-Pierre Mutombo: Thank you one and all for listening to me right now! My message was already sent along, but I must speak it for myself! Yes, I want the challenge of both Bemba and Blood! Let them both face me, both at the same time! I do not wish to wait for one or for the other one! Let us get this over with at the same time, so that the fans that support Mr. King Bemba can be happy, the fans that support Mr. Young Blood can be happy and all the fans that have supported Jean-Pierre can also be happy when I defeat both of them! Also do not let me leave this microphone before I also thank my good friend, the Professor Mark! Thank you for showing everyone that the Congolese Connection is not to be underestimated! We do not show any fear, we do not show any problem! I have no worry because I know that I can trust Professor Mark! Just as I will trust the support of all of my fans when I do have my match to defend my Number One! Thank you all once again for your wonderful support, it means so very much to me!

---

King Bemba: This was unacceptable! This was to be my match! I could have won this!

Young Blood: Shitheaded dumbfuck! I was the only one who did anything worth a shit out there! You just leaked your blood out all over the mat!

Bemba: I was not the one who lost! That was you! You were pinned by Mutombo!

Blood: Only because I was too tired from carrying your worthless ass from bell to bell.

Bemba: You speak of carrying the King? You are the one who complained that the tiny little Professor hurt you! You are the one who showed no dignity! You carried nothing but your own tears and failure!

Blood: I'll rip off your face and shit on your skull, fuckface!

Bemba: I grow tired of your pitiful impudence, fool! Mutombo challenged the both of us...but maybe I am only interested now in ending your career.

Blood: Go screw yourself, bitchtits.

Bemba: I will be happy to eradicate your presence from all of wrestling! And I promise, I will do my best to ensure that will be the result, when we meet again! Now, begone!

Bemba roughly placed his palm on Young Blood's face, and shoved him back into the wall.   Predictably, the PEWA Extreme champion returned with a punch delivered right to Bemba's head.   The two traded blows back and forth until security managed to show up, but were overly hesitant to jump in. Soon, Kevin Fitsharris and Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi ran onto the scene, trying to physically separate the clashing titans, but were both manhandled aside as they returned to the brawl, Bemba blocking a Young Blood chair shot with a section of guardrail, and then slammed the metal into his rival's midsection, before slamming it over his back.   Before Bemba could trudge over and stomp away, Young Blood rolled back over from under the rail, revealing a fire extinguisher, spraying it wildly, forcing the Destroyer to back away a step.  Just as he was about to return, this time, with a massive pipe wrench in hand, Senatorial Office Chairman, Anthony Kalb made himself heard.

Anthony Kalb: Enough!  You two keep going and I'll give your match to Salvador Sosa! Don't think I don't want to do that already!  Good!   Seriously, guys, did you really need to cause this sort of trouble tonight?   You had your match, you'll have your chance to get violent, why make this more dangerous for my security team? Or for Fitsy and Ali over here?  Anyway, go shower off and get the hell out of here.   You'll get your chance to try to kill each other again, sooner than you think...

---

"Big Banter" Rory Banner: I believe that I did more than enough to have earned my right to speak once again.  After all, this is America, you peasants worship your right to unleash calamitous discord, do you not?   I defeated you now, therefore, I shall no longer suffer this unnatural vow of silence.

Dangerous Nicholas Alger: Deal's a deal.

Banner: Excellent, I knew that even a simpleton as yourself would see the...

DNA: I said, deal's a deal.  Meaning, you made the deal, our match, you won, you got my office. I won, you shut up for good concerning my management! That didn't say nothing about a rematch! Not the results of a rematch! Just that one match!  You want your contract voided...keep on talkin...I'm beggin' you.

Banner: Hmph.  I cannot properly manage my Big Banter Brand under these conditions, you know.

DNA: Shoulda thought about that before you signed that contract!  Now get outta here!

Banner: Hmph...this is not the end of this, you hear! Not the end!   I have lawyers, you know!

DNA: Yeah, so do I, now get moving!

[Senator Phillips]

The SWA returns to action on the Senatorial Streaming Service this Friday, with a Heavyweight title match, a big six person tag and several Prestige Rules bouts with many of the SWA favorites in action.


SWA: Fleming vs. Johnson
8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, May 22nd at the Doors of Perception in Los Angeles, CA

SWA Heavyweight Title
Blan Fleming(C) vs. Steel Johnson
With his fellow All-American Athlete, Max Bertrand on the shelf, Blan Fleming will now defend his SWA Heavyweight title against the man who is arguably the single most recognizable individual on the SWA roster, Steel Johnson. Johnson scored a recent win over Trevor Darius to prove himself ready for this bout, and will need to dig deep into his bag of techniques and experience if he hopes to stand a chance against the power of the Howling Beast.

Nature Strange, "Mr. Women" Jamie Wilson and "The Hentai" Baron Charles vs. Sam Blocks, Frog Buster and "The Wall" Alex Thompson
A team of giants will face a team of off kilter sorts, with Nature Strange taking Jamie Wilson and Baron Charles into action against three of the biggest, bulkiest bruisers in the entire SWA circuit. While many might expect this to be a one sided drubbing in favor of the giants, their unorthodox opposition could well find a different way to approach this one.

SWA Prestige Rules
Cherry Blossom Ikki with Mikazuki vs. Victor Bosch
While Cherry Blossom Ikki's debut with the SWA was less than successful, the Vale Tudo legend will now serve as the gatekeeper for another long awaited debut for the Prestige division in former Spetsnaz combat instructor, Victor Bosch. Bosch's celebrated grappling skills will be on full display, but a motivated Ikki will be looking to counter with his own powerful kimura lock.

Karts Rowdy vs. Bobby Bobby
Two top fan favorites will face off here, in a match that, while not billed as a #1 contender bout, could potentially serve as one. Both Bobby Bobby and Karts Rowdy are known for their ability to keep up a relentless pace and fight through moves that would finish a lesser wrestler. One thing's for sure, whoever wins this one, the fans should be good, whether the Madman from the Bayou or the Vulture come out ahead.

Lindsey Stewart and Caroline Collins vs. Canadian Dream Team(Canadian Grizzly(Santana Family Wrestling) and Allen Hawkins)
The two high flying women of the SWA will join forces against the two Canadian technical machines. Expect Stewart and Collins to push the pace and keep the Canadian duo on their back heels for the bulk of this match, while Grizzly and Hawkins will be best served slowing things down and isolating one of the ladies.

John "Newface" Smith vs. Keichiro Asakawa
The Strong Heart of the SWA has not been heavily featured as of late, but a win over Newface Smith will quickly build momentum for Asakawa. Smith, for his part, has done nothing but outperform expectations. Asakawa cannot take this match lightly, but if he's on the top of his game, this should be a straight forward victory for the former View Japan Pro Wrestling Heavyweight champ.

SWA Prestige Rules
Abbie Jones vs. Sophia Rodrigues
This opening match will pit the submission style of Abbie Jones against the fast hands and knockout power of Sophia Rodrigues. Jones, with a recent win over Jamie Wilson, has built up a good amount of momentum lately, but Rodrigues could bring that to a rapid halt if she connects with one of her trademark combinations.
