A monumental result in the main event headlined a fairly solid card overall in Kinshasa, albeit one with a singular disasterous moment and few outright standout matches. RESULTS Pan African Tour '22 and TIPWF: Kinshasa, DR Congo - 9-16-2022 8:00 PM(CT) on Friday, September 16th in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo Bonus Match Eliza Faulkner(MCCW) with Mackenzie Bergeron(UCSS) vs. Renate Barlowe(UCSS) with Moustapha Ndour(PEWA) Tagging along for the ride on her way to UCSS's stop on the Tour, MCCW's Eliza Faulkner had an impressive showing, going leglock for leglock with the Mercenary in Exile, but trading leglocks with Renate Barlow often comes at a severe cost, and the South African expatriate would gain the submission win with a flying cross legbreaker. Main Event: TIPWF Lone Star Heavyweight Championship Bout Titas Butkus(C) vs. Jean-Pierre Mutombo Some of the nattering nabobs of the wrestling punditry have tried to make the case that Jean-Pierre Mutombo has lost a step as of late, with the prevailing conventional wisdom stating that the Congolese great has carried on past his prime in 2022. And yet, when faced against one of the strongest forces the Office has seen in recent memory, in front of his hometown crowd, Jean-Pierre Mutombo once again rose to the occasion, utterly demolishing Titas Butkus in a one sided demolition job, hitting his brainbuster side slam, the Unifier into the Supersensational Drop to score the three count in just over ten minutes to once again become the TIPWF Lone Star Heavyweight Champion. While Butkus remains the Senatorial Office Number One Ranked competitor, it seems that a rematch between the two is inevitable to settle the top spot in the Office. TIPWF Lone Star Trios Number One Contender Bout The Trio(The Mallard(MWWC), Rodeo Angel and El Froggy Mask) vs. The New Roland Chang Trio(Roland Chang Junior, Roland Chang III and Annie Chang with Roland Chang Sr.) While this was Annie Chang's first match taking over for her grandfather in the Roland Chang Trio, the true story here was that of Roland Chang III, who utterly destroyed the Mallard with a Wrangler Bomb that sent the MWWC star bouncing off the apron to the outside, knocked out cold. A horrifically brutal finish by any means, and a terrifying statement made towards La Familia, who have quite the task on their hands in their upcoming title defense now. TIPWF Roundup Rumble Hailey Comet vs. Lil' Lariato vs. Vice Versa vs. FENYANG(Freelance) vs. Markos Angulo vs. Misterio Guerrero vs. El Hijo de Macchiato vs. Luchador Sorpresa Hailey Comet was the first to fall here, knocked out by Hijo de Macchiato's high crotch arm slam, aka Wake Up And Smell The Coffee. The Caffienated Luchador would then go on to last the entire duration, eventually rana bombing Vice Versa to win the Rumble and claim a shot at the Dominican Golden Championship in the future. Pan African Cup Block B Quarterfinal Match King Bemba vs. Lanna Ndi Vicious fight with Lanna Ndi doing her best to pour the pressure on against King Bemba. Unfortunately for her, the Ugandan Destroyer was not in the mood to entertain her challenge, and would eventually powerbomb her into the mat for a three count, moving on to face Wesley Rakoto in the next round. Pan African Cup Block B Quarterfinal Match Esi Dogboe vs. Wesley Rakoto Great showing for the Moraingy Maniac, with Wesley Rakoto matching speed for speed with the blazingly fast Esi Dogboe, and winning after a big shotei uppercut and a pinfall. Lightning Cyclones(Layla El-Amin and La Relampaga)(Phoenix Rising) vs. Anti-Phibian Alliance(El Hijo del Sapo(Rose Garden) and Poison Froggy Mask) It should come as no surprise that the Cyclones were able to fend off a credible challenge from the Alliance, with Layla Al-Amin again proving her top level intellect by catching Poison Froggy at just the right time for a leg roll clutch flash pin. Pan African Cup Block B Quarterfinal Match Ibrahim Rahman vs. Nefertiri This was not Nefertiri's year to make a run in the Cup, as Ibrahim Rahman caught her with a Sahara Roll rolling pinfall. Rahaman will find himself up against a fellow technican in Professor Gizenga in the next round of the tournament. Pan African Cup Block B Quarterfinal Match Moustapha Ndour vs. Professor Mark Gizenga A masterful performance by Professor Mark Gizenga in front of his native Kinshasa crowd, managing to wear down the imposing Moustapha Ndour before submitting him with a modified manjigatame variation. A major upset win for Gizenga, whom few gave a chance ahead of this matchup, and a potential opportunity for the instructor to truly make a name for himself in the Office as more than just Jean-Pierre Mutombo's tag partner in the Congolese Connection. Team Hard Work(Rin Jokusato and Fuyuki Takenaka(Typhoon Pro) and The Everyman) vs. The Santana Family(Felice Santana, Felix Santana III and Ana Maria Santana) A fun, chaotic opener that saw Fuyuki Takenaka throw the Santana Family around at will, before Felix III caught her with a Rolling Wave Suplex hold for the three count. --- Match of the Night: Lightning Cyclones vs. Anti-Phibian Alliance -Not a great night for overall match quality, but this tag bout was competitive and action packed enough to win the award. Performer of the Night: Jean-Pierre Mutombo -Beating Titas Butkus for a championship and making it look easy wins this with comparable ease for JPM. --- Injury Report Hailey Comet: Bruised Ribs (Two month medical suspension) -A high crotch arm slam from Hijo de Macchiato knocked Comet down for the count, and the high flying star will take a seat for a few months to get back to full strength. The Mallard: No Disclosed Info -A throwing powerbomb sent the Mallard bouncing off the apron to the floor, and word has it that he will take some time to recover, even if the Office cannot release his medical information to confirm.

A good showing for the Office and L-Pro on the South African leg of the Pan African Tour, on a show that may have done more to set up future events than anything else, but also featured a number of solidly competitive bouts. RESULTS Pan African Tour 2022 and L-Pro - Johannesburg, South Africa - 9-23-2022 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, September 23rd in Johannesburg, South Africa Bonus Match Sam Horne(Butterfloor) vs. Nishimura Endo Butterfloor's fire breathing cowboy, Sam Horne has famously feuded with the Outlaw, Sam Hall, and now seems to have targeted another of Hall's Worldwide Conquest teammates in former Victorious Medal holder, Nishimura Endo. Horne absolutely took the fight to Endo from the start, but found that the veteran could unleash every bit of fury that he could bring, throwing back with flurries of chops. In the end, Endo chokeslammed Horne down and earned the pinfall, but there is no doubt that he will be feeling the effects of this match for days to come. Main Event Kojiro Burai(Phoenix Rising) and Fresh Fuji(Sakura Pro) vs. "Showtime" Byron Worthy(Warrior Pro) and Steve Phillips with Monica Tesfaye Solid main event match with the upcoming challenger for the Victorious Medal, Fresh Fuji teaming well with the current champion, Kojiro Burai as they turned back a PAC team of Steve Phillips and Showtime Byron Worthy. The two future opponents teamed up remarkably well, coordinating well throughout the match, with Fuji eventually pinning Worthy after a tilt a whirl stunner for the win. Fuji and Burai had a brief showdown after the match, but their mutual respect overcame any animosity, with the two shaking hands and exchanging a few words before going their separate ways, promising to save the violence for their match. Pan African Cup A Block Semi-Finals Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi As one-sided as it gets, JPM simply outworked and worked over Mehrmohammdi before closing out with a relentless sequence of a Congolese Crab, the Unifier and several Supersensational Drops before Kemo Diouf counted to three. Mutombo continues to look entirely revitalized, and is the clear favorite to win out in the Pan African Cup, slated to take on Zulu Lionheart in the A Block finals after this easy win. Pan African Cup A Block Semi-Finals Zulu Lionheart vs. Mohammad Ramses A strong showing for Zulu Lionheart, who worked over Mohammad Ramses in multiple match phases, surviving an early Final Pyramid Driver before submitting his foe with a triangle spine lock for the win. Lionheart proudly celebrated his victory in front of his hometown crowd and now looks to stand strong in the A Block finals. Storm of the Century(Thunder Fist and Wataru Nakajima)(ZIP Japan) vs. The Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto) Unsurprisingly, a quality, violent bout bewtween two teams of fearsome titans. Storm of the Century brought their ususal blend of power striking and classic King's Road techniques, but the Destructive Duo were in an especially agitated, focused mood following the loss of their Victorious Tag Medals to ARENA, showing superior cohesion and teamwork, hitting multiple double teams out of the corner and winning out with Crusher Honda pinning Thunder Fist with a pole shift flowsion in the Duo's corner for the three. Pan African Cup B Block Semi-Finals King Bemba vs. Wesley Rakoto Wesley Rakoto demonstrated incredible grit and fortitude as he outfought King Bemba for long stretches of this match, even coming close to victory on a handful of occasions. The Ugandan Destroyer, though, was not to be thwarted, and yet managed to close out strong in the end, hitting a big running splash to take the three count. King Bemba barely managed to pull off the win here, but as such, will meet Ibrahim Rahman in the finals of Block B. Pan African Cup B Block Semi-Finals Ibrahim Rahman vs. Professor Mark Gizenga An utter delight for students of the intrcacies of the grappling arts, and perhaps less so for the general fan base, and especially referee Kemo Diouf, who had to count pinfall attempt after pinfall attempt for nearly twenty five long minutes. Eventually, Ibrahim Rahman managed to catch Professor Giznega with a jackknife pin out of top guard, finally closing out an incredibly competitive bout to carry on to the Block B finals in the Pan African Cup. Leilani Auerbach Debut Match Leilani Auerbach with Mr. Moonsault vs. Saburo Aoki Jr. with Yuki Okamura A spirted debut from the Chicago-based protege of Marcus Xavier, with Leilani Auerbach managing to overcome the speed and experience of Saburo Aoki Jr, who had even managed to swipe her own Skyline Bomb finisher before she ever managed to use it(an incident heatedly debated in the IWC, with many wondering just how Aoki Jr managed to figure out her move before she's ever used it against a live foe), and catching him with a classic counter rollup finish. Auerbach's top tier athleticism and determination has carried her far in the basketball world, and in spite of her obvious lack of experience, should do the same for her in wrestling if she sticks with it. Dhani Faizan(Wrestle Parade) vs. Rei Hasegawa Fun, fast paced match that saw both Hasegawa and Wrestle Parade's Egyptian import, Dhani Faizan going move for move for the duration, ramping things up impressively down the stretch before Faizan eventually landed an Arabian Press for the three count. Dhani's first-ever Office showing exceeded expectations and provided one of the best matches of the night. "Rookie Killer" Koji Sawada vs Innocent Mugisha Innocent Mugisha fought bravely, but was simply unable to withstand the brutal bullying of Koji Sawada, who wore his foe down with a methodical approach before locking in the Rookie Killer boston crab to finish the match by referee stoppage. Mugisha was clearly hurt after this, with Sawada once again taking things too far against a younger compettior in his quest to make the younger generation pay their dues. --- Match of the Night: King Bemba vs. Wesley Rakoto, Dhani Faizan vs. Rei Hasegawa - Bemba vs. Rakoto was a toughly fought match with Rakoto raising his level to give Bemba a spirited challenge. The Faizan-Hasegawa match was equally competitive and entertaining, and both mutally earn the MOTN award. Gizenga-Rahman was also a closely fought bout, but was a bit too slowly paced to overcome the other two. Performer of the Night: Leilani Auerbach -Auerbach made an impressive debut showing, managing to work through her lack of experience to defeat a more experienced opponent in Saburo Aoki Jr. --- Injury Report Innocent Mugisha: Lower Back Strain (One Month Medical Suspension) -With his back wrenched out of place by Koji Sawada's Rookie Killer crab, Innocent Mugisah's temporary excursion out of the L-Pro Dojo comes to an unfortunate end. Still, for his age and at this early point in his career, one can hope to expect far better from the Rwandan in the future.

The Block finals for the Pan African Cup take place here on the penultimate match of the Tour, with a big confrontation between the Sweet Science Society and UCSS Openweight Champion, Andronicus Turner up against the Big Banter Brand, a potential squash match for the ages with Frog Buster and some more tantalizing tag matches. Pan African Tour and UCSS - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - 9-30-2022 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, September 30th in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Main Event Sweet Science Society(Andronicus Turner and Jumbo Joseph Butt with Ricky "Violence" Valdez) vs. Big Banter Brand(Virgil de Boer and ??? with "Big Banter" Rory Banner and Sanem Becker) Pan African Cup Block A Finals Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. Zulu Lionheart Pan African Cup Block B Finals King Bemba vs. Ibrahim Rahman Ribbit's Punishment Ribbit(Wrestle Parade) vs. Frog Buster Annika Hofmanis(Neutral Ground) and Lanna Ndi vs. Thiago Gracie BJJ(Jamie Tomasi and Angie Armstrong with Thiago Gracie) Bradley "Bradley Carr" Carr(Butterfloor) vs. Yetunde Oya(L-Pro) The Limbtakers(Candace Monroe(Phoenix Rising) and Ruthless Nicole Alger) vs. Onika Santos and Anatoly Shkuro Renate Barlowe vs. Walid Alizadeh Eliza Faulkner(MCCW) and Mackenzie Bergeron vs. Team Technical(Sebastian Churchill and Johnny Warning)(Rose Garden)

Heavy on tag matches, this was a good UCSS event that brought the Pan African Cup close to its finals and demonstrated the newfound depth of the promotion's tag division. Pan African Tour and UCSS - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - 9-30-2022 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, September 30th in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Bonus Match AJ Mohammad(Realm of Wrestling) vs. Christine DeWalt Christine DeWalt made a surprise showing here, announcing her status as the newest member of the UCSS roster. Unfortunately for DeWalt, she found herself up against the dangerous speed of AJ Mohammad who was one step ahead this entire match before landing a cannonball senton for the three count. Main Event Sweet Science Society(Andronicus Turner and Jumbo Joseph Butt with Ricky "Violence" Valdez) vs. Big Banter Brand(Virgil de Boer and Zin Win Aye with "Big Banter" Rory Banner and Sanem Becker) Rory Banner revealed his secret weapon prior to this match: none other than the Burmese Lethwei Deathmatch Machine, Zin Win Aye. In response, Andronicus Turner targeted the Big Banter Brand's new acquisition, and with a furious flurry, dispatched Zin Win Aye onto medical suspension. Turner is undoubtedly back on top of his game at this point, and anyone wishing to claim the Openweight title will have to overcome his knockout punches. Pan African Cup Block A Finals Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. Zulu Lionheart A depleted, clearly injured Zulu Lionheart disregarded medical advice after taking a terrible knockout at the feet of Aline Richelieu earlier in the week, deciding to bravely step into the ring against the best wrestler in the entire Office. It did not go well. Jean-Pierre Mutombo promptly dispatched Zulu with little trouble, finishing with a Supersensational Drop to go on to face King Bemba in the Pan African Cup finals. Pan African Cup Block B Finals King Bemba vs. Ibrahim Rahman A spirited, gutsy showing for Ibrahim Rahman, who endured King Bemba's onslaught and came close on multiple occasions in pulling off the win, but in the end, Bemba held on, unleashing fury on the outside and landing a big running splash to get the three count to go onto the finals of the Pan African Cup. Ribbit's Punishment Ribbit(Wrestle Parade) vs. Frog Buster with El Hjio del Sapo(Rose Garden) and Poison Froggy Mask For an intended squash match at the request of Wrestle Parade, punishing Ribbit for her sabotage of Megan Van Horne's chances in the Sakura Pro Grand Prix, this was far more of an even match than it had a right to be, as the amphibious luchadora kept a step ahead of Frog Buster for several rounds, even with the Anti-Phibian Alliance at ringside. Near the end of the third, though, Buster finally caught up, slamming Ribbit down with a waistlock throw for the ten count win. Annika Hofmanis(Neutral Ground) and Lanna Ndi vs. Thiago Gracie BJJ(Jamie Tomasi and Angie Armstrong with Thiago Gracie) Solid aggression from the karatekas, but Thiago Gracie BJJ's top level submission game and strong teamwork kept them a step ahead, allowing Jamie Tomasi to armbar Lanna Ndi for the win. Bradley "Bradley Carr" Carr(Butterfloor) vs. Yetunde Oya(L-Pro) For reasons unknown to anyone other than Bradley Carr, the imposing Butterfloor technician simply never shifted out of neutral in this match, allowing Yetunde Oya to work him over for three full rounds before submitting him with the Gates of No Return fish hook sleeper. The Limbtakers(Candace Monroe(Phoenix Rising) and Ruthless Nicole Alger) vs. Onika Santos and Anatoly Shkuro The Limbtakers reminded the UCSS audience why they've been such dominant forces individually over the last year, outworking their agile foes before Candace Monroe submitted Onika Santos with a heel hook. Renate Barlowe with Moustapha Ndour(PEWA) vs. Walid Alizadeh A one sided demolition job that barely made it to the third round before Walid Alizadeh landed a half nelson slam into the pin. Barlowe simply didn't stand a chance against a motivated, beardlesss Walid. Eliza Faulkner(MCCW) and Mackenzie Bergeron vs. Team Technical(Sebastian Churchill and Johnny Warning)(Rose Garden) Superb match overall to open up the show and an outstanding performance from Eliza Faulkner who looked lightyears better than she did in her eariler stop on the Tour, anchoring her team here and giving fits to both of her uber-skilled foes, allowing Mackenzie Bergeron to score a cross heel hook submission on Johnny Warning. --- Match of the Night: Bemba vs. Rahman, Bergeron and Faulkner vs. Churchill and Warning -The opening tag match set the pace for the rest of the night and featured some excellent action, as did the Pan African Cup match between King Bemba and Ibrahim Rahman. Ribbit vs. Frog Buster was a close omission here as it far surpassed expectations. Performer of the Night: Andronicus Turner -Almost effortlessly dispatching Zin Win Aye and thwarting Rory Banner's obvious plans to set up his next challenger, Andronicus Turner continues to forge his own path through UCSS. --- Injury Report Zin Win Aye: Moderate Concussion (Three Month Medical Suspension) -A three piece combination put Aye on the mat, and as such, the Burmese violence merchant will take an extended break to recover.

This is it, the last stop on the Pan African Tour, with the explosive finish to the Pan African Cup and a four match Pan African Tag Cup headlining the event.

A slightly underwhelming conclusion to the Pan African Tour that included some unfortunate mishaps and a dominanting set of showings from the undisputed top star in the organization. Pan African Finale: Cairo, Egypt - 10-7-1022 8:00 PM(CT) on Friday, October 7th in Cairo, Egypt Bonus Match: Senatorial Office Number One Ranking Bout Titas Butkus(C) vs. Jean-Pierre Mutombo Following his Pan African Cup win, Mutombo immediately claimed his match with Titas Butkus for the Number One Ranking, and the two went head to head in an intensely fought matchup, with Mutombo fighting through Butkus's brute force to land several Supersensational Drops, the last of which would put him down for the three, crowning the Man of Unity with not just the Pan African Cup, but the Senatorial Office Number One Ranking to conclude the Pan African Tour for 2022. Pan African Cup Finals: Pan African Cup Championship Bout Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. King Bemba JPM didn't just beat his old rival to claim the Pan African Cup, but made it look absolutely easy before pinning him with the Supersenational Drop. There is no question at this point that Jean-Pierre Mutombo is the best competitor in Office history, and may well be stronger than ever, with only the Number One Ranking eluding him at this point...but... Pan African Tag Cup Finals: Pan African Tag Cup Championship Bout Botswanan Bombers(Thunder Fist(ZIP Japan) and FENYANG vs. Lightning Cyclones(Layla Al-Amin and La Relampaga)(Phoenix Rising) With Esi Dogboe injured, Layla Al-Amin was given her choice of a teammate for the finals of the Pan African Cup. Her backstage guest, La Relampaga was prepared for this situation and stepped in. The match itself was fairly fast paced and chaotic, with a strange set of circumstances leading to FENYANG catching Relampaga with a flash pin down the stretch after a brawl outside took place, giving the Botswanan Bombers a controversial win for the Pan African Tag Cup. Battle of the Bosses Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi with G.P. Christopher vs. Anthony Kalb with Monica Tesfaye Ali stood strong in this match, going move for move with his larger foe before pinning Anthony Kalb after the Air Nigeria diving elbow landed. AJ Mohammad(Realm of Wrestling) vs. Annika Hofmanis(Neutral Grounds) vs. Dhani Faizan(Wrestle Parade) vs. Anwar Omar vs. Esther Musambi vs. Lanna Ndi vs. Killer King Jones vs. Professor Mark Gizenga This royale went fifteen before the eliminations started coming along quickly. AJ Mohammad and Anwar Omar made it to the final three, with Professor Gizenga tapping Omar out with the Dissertation of Doom scissored dragon sleeper for the win. Wesley Rakoto vs. Onika Santos with Anatoly Shkuro Strong win for Rakoto who managed to keep pace with Santos before landing a headscissors into a standing moonsault for the pin. Pan African Tag Cup Semi-Final Bout Botswanan Bombers(Thunder Fist(ZIP Japan) and FENYANG) vs. Mercenaries in Exile(Moustapha Ndour and Renate Barlowe) A good match that found the Bombers winning after Thunder Fist pinned Renate Barlowe with a ripcord lariat. Pan African Tag Cup Semi-Final Bout Black Star Cyclones(Layla Al-Amin(Phoenix Rising) and Esi Dogboe) vs. The Dynasty(Mohammad Ramses and Nefertiri) The first major mishap of this show took place with Mohammad Ramses demolishing Esi Dogboe with a Final Pyramid Driver, but Layla Al-Amin was the legal competitor at that point in time, and would go on to win with a sunset bomb on Nefertiri in a stunning two on one win to advance her suddenly depleted team to the finals. Moonman vs. Mask Legend(SWA) Superb contest that saw Moonman walk away with the win after a classic counter rollup. Leilani Auerbach with Mr. Moonsault vs. "Tongan Deathmatch Princess" Melino Tuopu with Hobo Harry Tupou's experience and aggression gave her a clear edge here, and while Auerbach's athleticism was notable, the Tongan Deathmatch Princess made short work of her before finishing with a moonsault. --- Match of the Night: Mutombo vs. Butkus -Intense, closely competed, high stakes on the line, all the checkboxes were marked in this quality bout. Performer of the Night: Jean-Pierre Mutombo -This doesn't even need to be explained. --- Injury Report Esi Dogboe: Mild Concussion (Two Month Medical Suspension) -Powerbombed on her head, Dogboe will miss several months as a result. --- (JPM earned his top spot fair and square with a tournament win and a ranking win over Butkus, who despite two recent losses to Mutombo, remains near the top. Tarkhan contnues to impress around the world and Turner is clearly far above the competition in UCSS at the moment, while Bemba's Pan African Cup performances were strong, other than his forgivable blowout loss against Mutombo. The New Mutants remain on top of the tag division, while the Bombers get the second spot after their Pan African Tag Cup win, and the Bingo Hall Mutants remain the top veteran team on the circuit.)

A solid, if unspectacular show with few outright standout matches or duds, aside from the excellent Victorious Tag Medal match. Lightning Pro x Wacker Drive Revival: Lightning Strikes in Kyoto - 10-14-2022 8:00 PM(CT) on Friday, October 14th at the Kyoto Central Gymnasium in Kyoto, Japan Bonus Match King Bemba vs. The X-Treme Kid Shockingly abrupt defeat for King Bemba, who had otherwise dominated this match until the X-Treme Kid hit one significant move, an X-Cape Plan Diamond Dust out of the corner for the three count. Main Event: The Deadly Draft Team Kojiro Burai(Mallory Spaulding(Phoenix Rising), Kaede Kinoshita and String Bean) with Kojiro Burai(Phoenix Rising) vs. Team Fresh Fuji(Yukiko Harada(Rose Garden), Ibrahim Rahman and Jennie Medici) with Fresh Fuji The fearsome focus of Team Kojiro was not enough to overcome the technical skill of Team Fuji, with Ibrahim Rahman pinning Mallory Spaulding with a rolling counter pin for the three in an otherwise competitive main event. Burai and Fuji's confrontation looms near at the next Golden Touch, and there is no doubt that the fans are ready for this one, as are the competitors. Lightning Pro Victorious Tag Medal Championship Bout ARENA(Rena LeBlanc and Arisa Hashimoto)(C) vs. Botswanan Bombers(Thunder Fist(ZIP Japan) and FENYANG) After his standout run on the Pan African Tour, FENYANG made his way back to a full time roster, teaming up with the power punching legend, Thunder Fist as the Botswanan Bombers challenged ARENA. The crowd were firmly behind the long legged ladies, but the Bombers, having recently won the Pan African Tag Cup for the year, were not to be denied and Thunder Fist came away with the win after landing his dreaded KTFO Punch on Arisa Hashimoto for the three count. The Botswanan Bombers are now the Victorious Tag Medal holders and could well be a difficult team to dislodge from their prize. Steve Phillips vs. Sophie Sapphic(Blue Thunder Pro) Travel issues kept Raven Brighid from making it to Kyoto, but Sophie Sapphic was able to take her place in this match, likely looking to seek out ARENA following the match. Sophie gave Steve Phillips a solid match, but in the end, the former Senator was able to come away with the win after a Partisan Kick connected for the pinfall. Leilani Auerbach with Mr. Moonsault vs. "Showtime" Byron Worthy(Warrior Pro) with Monica Tesfaye A stunning upset with Leilani Auerbach enduring Byron Worthy's superior ground and clinch game and landing a standing arm slam to set up a moonsault press. Auerbach may be rather green as a rookie, but her potential is off the charts with performances such as this. Drake Elliot IV(Wrestle Parade) vs. Blair Taylor Every bit the technician's match that it was expected to be, with Drake Elliot IV escaping Blair Taylor's flash pin onslaught and making his legwork count with a spinning ankle lock submission victory. "Rookie Killer" Koji Sawada and Kengo Tamura vs. Takayuki Ueda and Kosuke "Choppu" Arai Irked at Koji Sawada's rough treatment of Dojo member Innocent Mugisha on the Pan African Tour, Choppu Arai and Takayuki Ueda were on a mission and mostly accomplished it with a win, even if Ueda locked in his rolling keylock combination submission on Kengo Tamura instead of Sawada. Aishwarya Dhawan vs. Jordan "Longguy" Wright(Butterfloor) Solid win for Dhawan, who easily handled the Long Guy en route to a Tiger Flowsion finish for the pin. Preliminary Main Event Strong Style Royalty(G.P. Christopher and Ali Ahmed Mehrmohammdi) and the Destructive Duo(Crusher Honda and Wrecker Yamamoto) vs. Worldwide Conquest(ALEXANDER, Tarkhan the Mangler, Stakhonovite Warrior and The Outlaw, Sam Hall) Solid showing from both teams to open the show, but the Outlaw, Sam Hall was the one to bring this to a close with his Damn Your Eyes diving DDT on Crusher Honda for a surprising pinfall win to put Worldwide Conquest ahead. --- Match of the Night: ARENA vs. Botswanan Bombers -A hard fought, competitive, dramatic match that fired up the fans and the wrestlers alike. Perfomer of the Night: Leilani Auerbach -Auerbach's stunning win over Byron Worthy netted this award.

An entertaining show that delivered the goods, with a big title change and an absurd bonus match that far surpassed expectations. TIPWF: Return to Texas - 10-21-2022 8:00 PM (CT) on Friday, October 21st at the Stockade in Amarillo, TX Bonus Match Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. Digital Dave Doolittle As he walked out of the ring, JPM heard a fan shout out that Digital Dave Doolittle had only given his match a measley 76%. As Doolittle was working live in attendence, JPM called out the journalist, and asked him to do better in the ring. Amazingly, Digital Dave did just that. Perhaps JPM was simply less motivated to finish here, or maybe he simply decided to toy around with his opponent, but Doolitle was able to surpass Lariato in terms of compettive value, even landing the Digital DDT on Mutombo. That said, JPM was not going to lose this one, and finished strong with the Supersensational Drop once again. A match that was far, far better than it had any right to be, and one that Doolittle himself rated at an 89% after he returned to his laptop. Main Event: The Champ's Return Jean-Pierre Mutombo vs. Lil' Lariato with Generalissimo Kool Q and the Celebrated(Maxine Blaster and Toni Bolton) In spite of Generalissimo Kool Q bringing fellow hip-hop to wrestling converts and all-around beloved stars, Maxine Blaster and Toni Bolton, the Celebrated to ringside, this was all too short a night for Lil' Lariato, who simply could not dent the armor of Jean-Pierre Mutombo before falling in just over ten to a Supersensational Drop. JPM has ascended once more to near-mythic levels at this point, and this match against a fellow top name shows just how far above he has reached by now. Dominican Golden Championship Bout Doctor Dorado(Lucha POWER)(C) with El Macho(Lucha POWER) vs. El Hijo de Macchiato with Salvador Sosa Doctor Dorado fought bravely, but this was El Hijo de Macchiato's night, finally, after so many years toiling in the midcard as the hype man and heart and soul of the Rudo Army. Macchiato overcame a late rally from his veteran opponent to land a flying back elbow drop to earn the pinfall victory and the Dominican Golden Championship. This was truly a career defining moment, and with Salvador Sosa's enthusiastic support, Macchiato truly woke up and smelled the coffee on this night. Marcos Angulo vs. Esteban Vargas vs. Boss Ross Foreman vs. Felice Santana Utterling dominant display from the New Humanity, Esteban Vargas as he overcame three top opponents in this four person royale. Felice Santana was the first to fall, thanks to an Izuna Drop from Vargas, with Marcos Angulo then succumbing to a pop up powerbomb into a standing moonsault press, and the New Humanity finished the sweep with a Dangerous Go Around powerbomb on Boss Ross Foreman. Jean-Pierre Mutombo may have a potential threat ahead in Vargas if this match was any indication. Egyptian Grudge Match Layla Al-Amin(Phoenix Rising) vs. Mohammad Ramses Seeking this match out after Ramses spiked Esi Dogboe with a Final Pyramid Driver to take her out of the Pan African Tag Cup, Layla Al-Amin was in tip top form in this match, meeting her foe head on, surviving many of his best moves and eventually turning the tide with her spectacular cannonball senton to score the pinfall win. It appears that the Dynasty Cyclones have made their amends following this one, but it did take a tough match to do so...and this could well give Al-Amin a chance to shoot for some singles gold in the TIPWF, too. Anaka Nava(Wrestle Parade) and Florencia Espinoza with Salvador Sosa vs. Maragarita Morales and Lutadora Festiva Superb debut for the Swanton Sisters of Anaka Nava and Florencia Espinoza, with Espinoza overcoming her recent underwhelming form in the Phoenix Rising Grand Ascension and Nava scoring the win off the quintessential tag finish; rolling Margarita Morales up for the three count. Tristan Pacheco(Butterfloor) vs. Itzcoatl Hernandez As violent as expected, with Pacheco unable to overwhelm the Aztec Executioner on the mat, instead paying a price when Hernandez hit the Blood Tribute turnbuckle brainbuster to take the win. Very Canadian(Canadian Grizzly and Megan Chabot) vs. Team Work(Rin Jokusato and Fuyuki Takenaka)(Typhoon Pro) Fuyuki Takenaka sent the Canadians for a ride for long stretches of this entertaining bout, but it would be the Canadian Grizzly submitting the hard hat powerhouse with a Dungeon Sharpshooter in the end. Blue Puma Jr.(Rose Garden) vs. Diego Santana with Senora Conquistadora BPJ put on a a show here, fighting through the potent attacks of Diego Santana to finish with the classic Lucha hold, a La Magistral cradle. Exotico World Order(Valentina Verda, Martina Martinez and Vice Versa) vs. The Cruisers(Cruiser Khan, Cruiser Jacobs and Biff Taylor with Cruiser Khan) While the Cruisers did their best to turn this into their brand of no holds barred old school brawling, the EWO were just a step faster, and better, overcoming frequent interruptions from the ever-recalcitrant Cruiser Khan at ringside as Valentina Verda submitted Cruiser Jacobs with a grounded lip lock. The EWO may well be looking at a future shot at their old rivals, the Roland Chang Trio following this solid win. --- Match of the Night: Al-Amin vs. Ramses -A properly competitive confrontation between two talented opponents who fought cleanly and fiercely. Performer of the Night: El Hijo de Macchiato and Esteban Vargas -Macchiato's Dominican Golden Championship win over a great foe in Doctor Dorado and the New Humanity's three part sweep in his royale each deserved the nod here.

The true horror experienced here was the dreadful lack of quality that progressively permeated the majority of the show, with an all-time disaster of a match in the Insanitarium and only the main event salvaging the otherwise dreadful proceedings. PEWA Horror of Hardcore 2022 - 10-28-2022 8:00 PM(CT) on Friday, October 28th at the Halcyon Ballroom in Philadelphia, PA PEWA Extreme Tag Title Championship Bout The New Mutants(PM Carnage and the EMP)(C) vs. The Sheridan Bros.(Vincent Sheridan and Zach Sheridan)(Phoenix Rising) After an abysmal run of matches as the show went along, the Sheridans arrived to save the night, and that is exactly what they did as they took on one of the most dominant teams in the Office. Vincent and Zach dazzled the PEWA faithful with their high flying attacks and fluid teamwork, managing to overcome their size disadvantage in the process, with Zach eventually pinning PM Carnage with a somersault La Silla off the top rope. The Sheridans, after years of being a punch line for their dysfunctional habits, have not just won over the audience, but have proven to everyone in the business that they are one of the best duos active today. PEWA Ruler of the Road Championship Bout Backyard Pyro(C) vs. Melino Tuopu Once again, Backyard Pyro defeated a far preferable foe to retain his Ruler of the Road belt, pinning Melino Tuopu after a fire belch to his grounded foe, but directly afterwards, Demarcus Browning made his return to the PEWA ring, demanding a rematch for the belt that Pyro had beaten him for. Crimson Romance(Luci and Chasity)(Wrestle Parade) vs. Ghost of a Chance(Seiko Kankyako(Typhoon Pro) and Yamikuro(Free Agent)) A promising match with Seiko Kankyako stealing the show for large portions of the bout, and things ending all too quickly with a stomach clow from Yamikuro on Chasity. The Last Will and Testament vs. The Ass of the Dragon Sewer Dragon(Super NOVA) vs. Young Blood) In under ten minutes, Young Blood demonstrated the depths of his insane contempt for Sewer Dragon and their mutual use of the same finisher, using his Last Will and Testament to knock out the odiferous Super NOVA import. One can only wonder what will happen when Sewer Dragon does return to action... Insanitarium Encounter Victor Van Banning vs. The Headhunter After the tag match, the lights went out in the arena as the Insanitarium cage descended. Shockingly, a truly bizarre figure appeared in the cage across from Victor Van Banning, as the mythical swamp dwelling cretin of the ring, the Headhunter made his PEWA debut. This was easily one of, if not the worst match in Office history. A forty five minute draw would ensue, with Headhunter's bizarre antics dominating the match and Banning's offense looking hapless in response. Nothing of value would happen. Directly afterwards, it was announced that Victor Van Banning would be banished to free agency for the immediate future and word has it that the Headhunter was subjected to a series of arcane rituals from Sir Vladimir Henry in the days following the show, and may even have been sent to the Dwight Gym to learn how to wrestle... Hell Butchers(Cleaver(Rose Garden) and Demon Otsu(ZIP Japan) vs. House of Hammer(Sir Vladimir Henry and Heidi Karnstein with Bath Salts Zombie) Not the best night for the House of Hammer up through this match, as the Hell Butchers obliterated Karnstein and Henry, with Cleaver planting Sir Vladimir down with his First Victim iron claw slam for the knockout finish. Things, incredibly, would get worse, soon. Furis vs. Cremator II Jakob of Furis(OG-FPD) vs. The Cremator A rematch a year in the making, and one that did not disappoint with both fearsome veterans looking in good shape and in ill-temper. In spite of Cremator trying to burn his foe to a crisp, the legendary Furis was able to fight back, drawing blood before he landing a lifting throat spike into an iron claw hold. OG-FPD's knight of the night continues to remind fans that decades into the game, he remains as dangerous as ever. Bonus Match Nightmare Clown(Lucha POWER) vs. Odin Brockhouse(Butterfloor) A quick, violent match with Odin Brockhouse stealing Nightmare Clown's package piledriver, only for the Clown to retaliate later on, knocking the Butterfloor menace out in the process. The Horror of Fashion Venus Couture(Blue Thunder Pro) vs. Jeffrey Janson with "Party Animal" Jeremy Wylde and Zanca Sensational showing for Blue Thunder Pro/QTWA fashionista, Venus Couture, who not just held her own against a former PEWA Extreme champ in Jeffrey Janson, but would pin him after a size fifteen boot to his face. A quality, tightly contested bout that unquestionably elevated Couture. Kid Dracula(Independent) vs. Ninja Smith Highly regarded independent grappler, Kid Dracula made a strong first impression in the Senatorial Office with this showing, up against one of the rising stars in the PEWA in Ninja Smith, dressed in her Mortal Kombat inspired Jade attire. The match was fast and competitive, with both mixing in a horrendous amount of cheap shots into their fast paced flurries, and Smith would walk away with the win after landing a spectacular counter superkick into a standing corkscrew press for the win. A great showing for Dracula, even in defeat, and this will certainly be far from his last match in the Office as a result. --- Match of the Night: Furis vs. Cremator -Before the show fell to pieces, this was a fun bit of the ol' ultraviolence between two men who fought far more of an intense match than one would have expected, given their ages. Performer of the Night: Vincent and Zach Sheridan -No doubt about it, the Sheridans earned this one by bringing the impressive title run of the New Mutants to an end, and doing so in fashion. --- Injury Report Odin Brockhouse - No Medical Info Available Sir Vladimir Henry - Moderate Concussion - Three Month Medical Suspension (Planted by Cleaver's iron claw, Sir Vlad was told to avoid the ring for the next three months.) Sewer Dragon - No Medican Info Available --- Kevin Anderson: This is Kevin "The Internet" Anderson, World Wrestling Daily Digest Editor in Chief here with PEWA President, Bodybreaker Brown following what, based off the reactions I'm reading from across the IWC, I can only describe as a disaster of a show here at the Halcyon Ballroom. Bodybreaker Brown: Yeah, I'm gonna stop you right there. Look, I'm pissed. I just sent a guy I respect, Victor Van Banning, packing from the PEWA. I can't accept that match, not on my show. Headhunter's gonna have to prove he's ready to actually wrestle, too, before I let him back in my ring. Lots of other stuff I wasn't happy with. But look, we just crowned new tag champs in our main event. We got a legit big time match coming up with Backyard Pyro rematching Demarcus Browning. Furis and Cremator delivered. Venus Couture was awesome. Kid Dracula impressed me. There was good stuff here. So don't tell me this was a disaster all together just because a few matches took a big dump in the ring. Anderson: That's one way to put it. I'm reading Bill Wade's notes from the show, and he said that Banning-Headhunter may have been the worst match he's seen in the last decade. Bodybreaker: Funny, 'cause I'm lookin' at your site and I see your man Doolittle gave it a 98%, and said it was an entertaining train wreck of a match. I think we both know he was on some good shit there when he wrote that, but don't quote me the usual names, just call things as you see them. So, yeah, going forward, I'm thinking we got some matches to make. We gotta figure out who the Sheridans take on first, we got Browning-Pyro II, and it's damn past time we get the Hindu Sheik his next challenger...let's just say we got someone heading in from out of town for that...

MoTN!? I swear - every day is bizarro world in 2022!! 🤪 So my "confused retro booking" (definitely my new booker gimmick!) somehow paid off?! 😲 I'm just going to assume the Cremator carried Furis because I can't believe ole Jakey tussled himself up a MoTN on such a loaded, talented card! I mean - if that's true and the RNG is strong with Furis, maybe it's a sign to play the lottery or something 💸 #JakobOfFuri$ Furis vs. Cremator II Jakob of Furis(OG-FPD) vs. The Cremator A rematch a year in the making, and one that did not disappoint with both fearsome veterans looking in good shape and in ill-temper. In spite of Cremator trying to burn his foe to a crisp, the legendary Furis was able to fight back, drawing blood before he landing a lifting throat spike into an iron claw hold. OG-FPD's knight of the night continues to remind fans that decades into the game, he remains as dangerous as ever. Wow - absolutely love that "Knight of the Night" moniker for him!! (Still loving the "Emblem of Excellence" moniker you gave Geese!) This sounded like a really fun and violent match. So glad that Furis has managed to stay competitive and relevant in matches. Loving how he contributed to a MoTN near Halloween! 🎃 I don't know what happened there but it sounded hilarious to read and excruciating to watch 😲 At least the matches with the quick CRITICALS! were merciful!
