Ain't that the truth 😂

Hopefully it’s Monty & Priest showcasing 48mins of various powerbombs 😂

Match 1 Brandy On The Rocks (Brandy McDonald and Diamond) vs. Beef Captains (George Mastachas and Jun Onoo) - Former Champs, last season's runner-ups - Can't see them dropping this early unless Mastachas-Mania is running wild. Match 2 Divine Juggernaut (Brian Blackfield and Reverend Johnny Gross) vs. Billy And The Cult (Billy Norris and Blood River) - Blackfield's a monster in singles competition and has a former runner up in Reverend Gross backing him in this time. Similar to above, unless River does something special here, I can't see the Divine dropping this. Match 3 The First Church (Monty Dhillon and Christian Priest) vs. Four Fists No Waiting (Big Scott Weathers and Jean-Paul Ouilette) - Rivals be damned, the Church is being represented in fine from - Violence from two meaty men. Best of luck to Weathers and JPO but this season's Delta finalist is going to be Monty. Match 4 Irish Canadian Connection (Lucas Molina and Mel O’Hallister) vs. Team Friendship (Terrance Stevens and Lance Heartilly) - A chance to back what's left of the reigning champions AND Molina, who is an absolute monster in his own right? Excellent. However this is a super spooky matchup. The Spoiler, Terrance Stevens lurks to strike again and Lance Heartilly with his leglock and skills is a danger to O'Hallister. Every chance for the upset here. Match 5 Sky High (Markus Clay and El Tornado) vs. Aria of Thorns (Indigo Rose and Nocturne) - Sky High will go all the way to the finals or crash out early, there's no in-between here. Sadly I rate the technical ability of Rose the Nocturne to turn this into a grind. Expecting a dull, 35+ minute 2-0 here. Match 6 Money And Power (The Mastodon and Erick Gibson) vs. Zodiac Blitz (De’siree Mitchell and Pulsar) - IT'S TIME, IT'S MASTODON TIME! Highly effective manager in McClure and a rampant Mastodon? Maaan that's going to be a hard team to stop. Match 7 Nuclear BBQ (Nuclear Templeton and Scott Stevens) vs. ARM. BAR. (Angela Wassermann and Devil’s Delight) - Unless Wassermann can pull something special here (or Devil's Angel can do something similar) then I'm expecting a wash. Too big and powerful here. Match 8 Made In Japan (Yoshii Nakamatsu and Kichi Hida) vs. Just Two Guys (Daniel Simmons and Diego Rodriguez) - I love the team of Nakamatsu & Hida, just hate their matchup. In a longer matchup, Rodriguez's grappling should reign supreme here. Match 9 Brandy On The Rocks (Brandy McDonald and Diamond) vs. Just Two Guys (Daniel Simmons and Diego Rodriguez) - Potentially MOTN here (outside of the main event of course). I really, really rate this combination of Simmons's all-round power and striking with Rodriguez's technical genius. That said, Diamond & Brandy compliment another equally as well and have the success they do for a reason. Flipped a coin here. Match 10 Team Friendship (Terrance Stevens and Lance Heartilly) vs. Aria of Thorns (Indigo Rose and Nocturne) - The Heartilly Grappling tour continues here, however there's a catch - Rose brought a counter in Nocturne. Do I think Stevens is going to run through Rose again in 6 minutes? Twice? No. This one comes now to the Delta competitors here. Match 11 Divine Juggernaut (Brian Blackfield and Reverend Johnny Gross) vs. Nuclear BBQ (Nuclear Templeton and Scott Stevens) - Phoenix touch on this just above; an preview for Blackfield next season facing the Champ & Gross. if Blackfield can tie up the radioactive fury of Nuclear, then Gross should outclass Stevens - should. Potential star making showing here for The Scorpion. Match 12 The First Church (Monty Dhillon and Christian Priest) vs. Money And Power (The Mastodon and Erick Gibson) - HOSS FIGHT and the math is simple, Two hosses > One. Match 13 Just Two Guys (Daniel Simmons and Diego Rodriguez) vs. Aria of Thorns (Indigo Rose and Nocturne) - Indulgent tipping part one gives us a runback of last week's classic between Rodriguez/Rose. Simmons should be too much here for Nocture, so unless Rose can get some manner of payback it'll be Just Two Guys into the final. Match 14 Divine Juggernaut (Brian Blackfield and Reverend Johnny Gross) vs. The First Church (Monty Dhillon and Christian Priest) - Selfishly? This is the match-up I'm hoping for 😛 . Priest/Gross clashing, Dhillon looking to prove his worth and the looming danger (and past beating) of the Juggernaut? Give me that drama! Tag Team Turmoil Championship Match Just Two Guys (Daniel Simmons and Diego Rodriguez) vs. The First Church (Monty Dhillon and Christian Priest) - Simmons is the wildcard here. Priest was able to handle Rodriguez earlier this season and I would expect Monty to do better with his grappling skills. Any cardio concerns for Dhillion/Diego are off-set by Priest & Simmons. I'll throw out a call and say The First Church get out to a strong three-four fall lead in the first half hour and doesn't get caught as the teams exchange falls.

Boy we called that one right, didn't have Nuclear developing into a submission wizard on the cards but here we are. Other notes: Alpha could come down to the Mastodon/Mastachas rematch in Week 9. Both look hard to stop at the moment Justice for Simmons, where was the referee when he had those ankle locks on? 😛 Blackfield showing cracks in the armour? Don't think that Nakamatsu's the one to stop him this week but that second undefeated season is looking shakey. Diamond continues to do Diamond things - reliably upsets in mismatches and drops matches she has no right dropping. Tipster's nightmare. Quick shoutout to Stevens also, classic spoiler beating 1st & 2nd but losing to 8th. Monty seems to have shaken off his past two losses with a demolition of Hida. Average match time of 6:16 is unreal, consider he's somehow in-front of Hida and her three lots of 4min or less matches. I've got Hida steamrolling Heartilly in Week 8 for those in the betting pool, don't think he'll escape the violence blitz twice. WEEK SEVEN SCHEDULE ALPHA DIVISION CAGE MATCH: (6) Mel O'Hallister (3-3, OVR 504) vs. (1) The Mastodon (5-1, OVR 499) [Career: Tied 1 – 1. Mastodon is 0 – 1 in Cage matches in The League.] (3) Nuclear Templeton (3-3, OVR 497) vs. (4) Brandy McDonald (3-3, OVR 502) [Career: Brandy McDonald, 3 - 1] - Brandy's just got the Champ's number, outside of last season's heroics (2) George Mastachas (5-1, OVR 494) vs. (7) Reverend Johnny Gross (2-4, OVR 488) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] (5) De'siree Mitchell (3-3, OVR 482) vs. (8) Daniel Simmons (0-6, OVR 491) [First Career Meeting] BETA DIVISION LAST ONE STANDING MATCH: (1) Brian Blackfield (6-0, OVR 545) vs. (3) Yoshii Nakamatsu (4-2, OVR 495) [Career: Brian Blackfield, 2 – 0. Both wrestlers are 1 – 0 in Last One Standing matches in The League.] (2) Blood River (4-2, OVR 492) vs. (5) Jean-Paul Ouilette (2-4, OVR 490) [Career: Jean-Paul Ouilette, 2 - 0] (8) Big Scott Weathers (1-5, OVR 466) vs. (7) Billy Norris (2-4, OVR 488) [First Career Meeting] (4) Angela Wassermann (3-3, OVR 458) vs. (6) Pulsar (2-4, OVR 460) [First Career Meeting] GAMMA DIVISION (2) Lucas Molina (4-2, OVR 458) vs. (1) Christian Priest (5-1, OVR 545) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] - Big time match, big match stakes. Priest has looked vulnerable to Molina in the two previous matches, could go either way but I'll back Priest's striking and strength to get it done. EUROPEAN RULES MATCH: (6) Indigo Rose (3-3, OVR 463) vs. (5) Diego Rodriguez (3-3, OVR 486) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] HARDCORE MATCH: (4) Diamond (3-3, OVR 469) vs. (3) Terrance Stevens (3-3, OVR 461) [First Career Meeting. Both wresters are 0 – 1 in Hardcore matches in The League.] - 50/50 matchup, I'll stick with Diamond because picking Steven's form is somehow harder. (8) Markus Clay (1-5, OVR 455) vs. (7) Erick Gibson (2-4, OVR 474) [First Career Meeting] DELTA DIVISION (5) Jun Onoo (3-3, OVR 463) vs. (3) Kichi Hida (4-2, OVR 442) [First Career Meeting] - Danger here for Hida, I'm actually picking the upset. Onoo's built for Delta were his stamina issues aren't as awful with the quicker matches. Fear he's too big and strong for Hida. (8) Devil's Delight (0-6, OVR 414) vs. (2) Monty Dhillon (4-2, OVR 500) [Career: Monty Dhillon, 2 - 0] - 8 minute Blockade Lock. All aboard the Dhillon Express to GAMMA. (1) Lance Heartilly (6-0, OVR 428) vs. (7) Nocturne (2-4, OVR 408) [First Career Meeting] (4) Scott Stevens (3-3, OVR 413) vs. (6) El Tornado (2-4, OVR 436) [First Career Meeting] - It's a weird Division for Scott Stevens where he's considerable bigger than most of the wrestlers here, but the two he's not just dwarf him in size and strength. Regardless, should be too much for Tornado here and rejoins the logjam for 3rd-4th.

The Gospel of Priest - Addressing Reverend Gross Reverend Gross, I stand here with a question for you - Who are you to cast the first stone and damn me? For over a year, we fought aside another. The good Pastor Richards convinced me that our faith would bind us and make us strong together. Admittedly he was right, for a while. As time went on, I grew stronger, greater - as you remained the same. What I didn't realise that this bond had blinded me. Too busy caught up with your failings, I had lost sight of my own success, unable see the forest from the trees. The longer we remained, the further I strayed from my destiny. But in this moment, a miracle - for now I see you clearly. You are a wrestling priest; I am wrestling’s priest – we are not the same. You preach to your flock with cheap words, behind closed doors; I dictate to the masses, through the universal language of violence at centre stage! LISTEN to those souls out there – I AM EXALTED! The uncrowned Paragon of Pain! And you believe that I bow to anyone?!? I am undeniable! Standing as their champion to the sound of rapturous applause! As for my new partner? Who better to stand beside me than Monty Dhillon? A mountain of a man I’ve fought. A man whom I consider my rival, my equal. Someone's who’s left me battered and bruised. A fellow survivor of the Delta Crucible. Whilst there’s no love lost between us – there is respect. As for what could The First Church have to offer for man like Monty? It’s simple, Immortality. He is still stuck fighting in those depths, caught in the raging Delta riptide. We extended a hand, a way out of purgatory. For him to stand with The First Church as its Hammer and together conquer the Tag Team Turmoil! As its Champion, he could no longer be ignored, nor would he be forgotten. But you? Turning Brian Blackfield? “The Juggernaut” himself. A reputation created, paved and maintained by corruption and honey coated lies? History will tell you, three times that man “bested” me but never once without controversy. That’s who you’ve turned to? Running with your tail between your legs – much like Blackfield has ran from me ever since. The world sees your true colours now, sheep in wolves clothing. There is no conspiracy, crooked officials nor the heavens will save you. Reverend, our alliance existed because The First Church allowed it, no more. You have been condemned for your crimes; your penance will be severe, because I demand it. Martyrdom awaits at the Tag Team Turmoil. So bring your faith, bring your juggernaut and your false promises. See how well they holds up against the Hammer and the might of the First Church.

WEEK SIX SCHEDULE ALPHA DIVISION (4) Mel O'Hallister (3-2, OVR 504) vs. (7) Brandy McDonald (2-3, OVR 498) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] HARDCORE MATCH: (2) George Mastachas (4-1, OVR 490) vs. (3) De'siree Mitchell (3-2, OVR 482) [Career: Tied 2 - 2] (6) Reverend Johnny Gross (2-3, OVR 489) vs. (5) Nuclear Templeton (2-3, OVR 494) [Career: Nuclear Templeton, 2 - 0] - Big fan of Gross but the numbers don't lie AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR THE REVEREND. (Side note, gonna go out on a limb and call a submission victory for the Jersery Jiu Jitsu master) (1) The Mastodon (4-1, OVR 492) vs. (8) Daniel Simmons (0-5, OVR 489) [First Career Meeting] BETA DIVISION (1) Brian Blackfield (5-0, OVR 539) vs. (7) Big Scott Weathers (1-4, OVR 465) [First Career Meeting] SUBMISSION MATCH: (6) Billy Norris (1-4, OVR 481) vs. (5) Jean-Paul Ouilette (2-3, OVR 489) [Career: Tied 2 - 2] (3) Angela Wassermann (3-2, OVR 458) vs. (4) Yoshii Nakamatsu (3-2, OVR 491) [First Career Meeting] (2) Blood River (4-1, OVR 492) vs. (8) Pulsar (1-4, OVR 456) [First Career Meeting] GAMMA DIVISION (1) Christian Priest (4-1, OVR 538) vs. (4) Indigo Rose (3-2, OVR 462) [First Career Meeting] - Danger match-up here for sure, hopefully Priest bullies his way through Rose. (2) Lucas Molina (4-1, OVR 458) vs. (5) Diamond (2-3, OVR 467) [First Career Meeting] - Diamond still struggles against technicians and Molina's up with the best of them. That said her win over Diego still comes to mind, tough one to call. (6) Diego Rodriguez (2-3, OVR 482) vs. (7) Markus Clay (1-4, OVR 455) [First Career Meeting] FIRST BLOOD MATCH: (3) Terrance Stevens (3-2, OVR 460) vs. (8) Erick Gibson (1-4, OVR 469) [First Career Meeting. Gibson is 1-0 lifetime in First Blood matches.] DELTA DIVISION (2) Kichi Hida (4-1, OVR 443) vs. (4) Monty Dhillon (3-2, OVR 498) [Career: Kichi Hida, 2 - 0] - 3rd time's the charm for Monty, surely..... (1) Lance Heartilly (5-0, OVR 424) vs. (3) Jun Onoo (3-2, OVR 463) [First Career Meeting] (8) Devil's Delight (0-5, OVR 414) vs. (7) El Tornado (1-4, OVR 431) [First Career Meeting] (5) Scott Stevens (2-3, OVR 409) vs. (6) Nocturne (2-3, OVR 408) [First Career Meeting] - Too big & strong for Nocturne here

100% late but what of it 😛 WEEK FIVE SCHEDULE ALPHA DIVISION (1) The Mastodon (3-1, OVR 487) vs. (5) Brandy McDonald (2-2, OVR 498) [Career: Tied 2 - 2] - Season 10's the year of the MASTODON (4) Nuclear Templeton (2-2, OVR 494) vs. (2) George Mastachas (3-1, OVR 486) [Career: Tied 2 - 2] - Feels early to say but season on the line here for Nuclear? At least in terms for his title defence (3) Mel O'Hallister (3-1, OVR 503) vs. (6) De'siree Mitchell (2-2, OVR 476) [Career: De'siree Mitchell, 2 - 0] (7) Reverend Johnny Gross (1-3, OVR 483) vs. (8) Daniel Simmons (0-4, OVR 489) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] BETA DIVISION (8) Pulsar (1-3, OVR 456) vs. (1) Brian Blackfield (4-0, OVR 535) [First Career Meeting] HARDCORE MATCH: (6) Billy Norris (1-3, OVR 482) vs. (2) Blood River (3-1, OVR 488) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] (7) Big Scott Weathers (1-3, OVR 465) vs. (4) Yoshii Nakamatsu (2-2, OVR 487) [First Career Meeting] (3) Jean-Paul Ouilette (2-2, OVR 490) vs. (5) Angela Wassermann (2-2, OVR 455) [Career: Jean-Paul Ouilette, 3 - 1] GAMMA DIVISION (3) Terrance Stevens (2-2, OVR 456) vs. (1) Christian Priest (4-0, OVR 539) [First Career Meeting] - Stevens the spoiler? Hope not, the First Church to roll on! (5) Diego Rodriguez (2-2, OVR 483) vs. (2) Lucas Molina (3-1, OVR 455) [First Career Meeting] - I made the mistake of betting against the Puerto Rican/Canadian submission machine earlier against Rose, so I'm not falling for that again. Even if it's betting against one of my favorites in Diego. Hoping for a mat classic, expecting a long slog of holds and counter holds - Molina's got more options and setup moves outside of Diego's superior grappling. Side note - the European Rules later this season is going to be glorious between Molina & Priest (8) Erick Gibson (0-4, OVR 465) vs. (4) Diamond (2-2, OVR 467) [Career: Tied 2 - 2] - Clutch time for Diamond. Submitting Diego was massive last week and could it spark a run with big matches against Stevens and Molina ahead? Gotta get through Gibson first. (6) Indigo Rose (2-2, OVR 456) vs. (7) Markus Clay (1-3, OVR 454) [Career: Tied 1 - 1] DELTA DIVISION (2) Monty Dhillon (3-1, OVR 498) vs. (5) Jun Onoo (2-2, OVR 459) [First Career Meeting] Love me a big hoss fight and Delta still delivers. Monty's got some underrated Grappling skills here, fully expecting him to grind and gas out Onoo here in under 8mins. That or Hammer Mill/Press goes into overtime after last week's loss and someone has to scrape Jun off the mat... (6) El Tornado (1-3, OVR 431) vs. (3) Kichi Hida (3-1, OVR 439) [First Career Meeting] - If I were a watcher of the League? Probably be a fan of Hida. Delta's pace/ruleset and her relentless striking means you're getting anything from 10min car crashes to last weeks demolition job over the Scorpion. That with El Tornado's slow starts? I'll be surprised if this goes 6mins (1) Lance Heartilly (4-0, OVR 420) vs. (4) Scott Stevens (2-2, OVR 409) [First Career Meeting] - Classic Striker vs Grappler, expecting Heartilty to pick apart Stevens's bad knee but I'll pick The Scorpion for the upset here (7) Nocturne (1-3, OVR 404) vs. (8) Devil's Delight (0-4, OVR 414) [First Career Meeting] REMINDER: THE LEAGUE IS OFF NEXT WEEK SO THAT THE AUTHOR CAN ATTEND THE MARYLAND RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL’S OPENING WEEKEND. PREDICTIONS AND TRAINING PMs ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 11:59 PM EASTERN US TIME ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1!

New Division, New Opponents, Same Bangers out of Priest. You can keep your chain wrestling and 60min classics, The First Church provides for the modern fan - Stiff strikes, powerbombs and lariats in 15 minutes or less! Also Monty in ominous form early, a sub three minute finisher even in Delta is nuts. WEEK TWO SCHEDULE ALPHA DIVISION (4) George Mastachas (1-0, OVR 477) vs. (2) Mel O'Hallister (1-0, OVR 495) [Career: Even 1-1] - Getting on the O'Hallister train early, my pick for the League Title in Season 10 (3) Brandy McDonald (1-0, OVR 493) vs. (6) Reverend Johnny Gross (0-1, OVR 479) [Career: Brandy 2-0] (6) Nuclear Templeton (0-1, OVR 486) vs. (5) Daniel Simmons (0-1, OVR 489) [First Career Meeting] - Nuclear should be too big and strong here.

(3) Lucas Molina (1-0, OVR 448) vs. (4) Indigo Rose (1-0, OVR 453) [First Career Meeting] - A proper test for both here. Molina facing a better quality submission-ist than himself for the first time and for Rose to see if she'll be a contender this season. I'll back the larger Molina (and their better cardio). DELTA DIVISION (1) Monty Dhillon (1-0, OVR 487) vs. (5) Nocturne (0-1, OVR 400) [First Career Meeting] - The Dhillion Express to keep on rolling. Too much size, too much power here, calling an Empire Bomb in 6 minutes.

WEEK TEN CARD A * denotes the winner of this matchup in the first half of the season. ALPHA DIVISION De'siree Mitchell (7-2, OVR 461) Nuclear Templeton (6-3, OVR 466)* Brandy McDonald (7-2, OVR 482)* Mel O'Hallister (3-6, OVR 465) BETA DIVISION Daniel Simmons (7-2, OVR 472)* Jean-Paul Ouilette (6-3, OVR 466)* Reverend Johnny Gross (7-2, OVR 458)* Markus Clay (4-5, OVR 447) GAMMA DIVISION Brian Blackfield (8-1, OVR 502)* Diamond (4-5, OVR 451) Indigo Rose (4-5, OVR 440) Jun Onoo (3-6, OVR 447)* DELTA DIVISION Christian Priest (7-2, OVR 495) - BIGMAN match against probably Priest's biggest rival. Hopefully a banger Lucas Molina (7-2, OVR 427)* Sterling Silver (4-5, OVR 456) Kichi Hida (6-3, OVR 428)*

As Dreltzer should! Who doesn't enjoy a vulgar display of power and wrestling brutality? The First Church provides! Honestly if it's not Silver/Priest throwing bombs for 10 Rounds? Rose/Diamond could be a marathon (though Diamond's apparently weak to submission grapplers) or one of the two 1st First Blood Matches.

Mel O’Hallister announcing himself and absolutely going on a tear is great to see, even at Priest's expense 😅. Plus Sterling Silver's flying clothesline is apparently lethal.
