War for Territory #19 Piledriver Wrestling Presents War for Territory #19 Saturday, Week 2 July, 2019 Live from the North Carolina Biker Museum, NC True to it's name, War for Territory kicks off with a tag team from another promotion who are out to protect their hard earned territory. Dean Waldorf and Marv Statler, collectively known as the Ring Generals and one of the finest tag teams in the independent circuit confirm they will be in this year's Sam Keith Classic and are hellbent on defending their last year's victory with back to back wins! Lisa Bowen also has a few words to say about the Heartbreak Express, who just so happen to be the Piledriver Tag Team champions. 2019 is their year and they'll prove they're the best team around when they win the Sam Keith Classic in two weeks! w Eri Sato, Nicole Pyle & Miss Atlantic Wrestling (with Masked Patriot) w Saywer Sports Sevices (Torres, Daniels & Trigg, with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer) In an unusual reversal of roles, this time it's Masked Patriot who accompanies Miss Atlantic Wrestling to the ring. Though not an actual manager, Patriot's presence is encouraging for the babyface team and the man is always vigilant to counter Sawyer's shenanigans, which leads to a pretty open ended match and Miss Atlantic Wrestling getting a submission from Daniels via her Kentucky Fried Chickenwing. After the bell, the heel team looks to be disappointed with Daniels and returns backstage without her while the faces celebrate. Winners: Eri Sato, Nicole Pyle & Miss Atlantic Wrestling, by submission Backstage, Vinny Cruz is surrounded by his big bad clients, a group he refers to as "Cruz Control". With both teams in the Classic there's double the chances of winning it, or so Cruz claims. California Love Machine and Frankie Boy Fernandes take to the ring next and get a good reaction from the live audience before they cut a promo to announce that they will be returning to Piledriver Wrestling in two weeks to be a part of this year's Sam Keith Classic! Going Coastal? They lost to the Death Squad just last month! The Heartbreak Express are Piledriver Tag Team champions? Pft, big deal, the Death Squad hold the tag titles of the entire alliance! Cruz Control? Yeah they're bad, but not as bad as the Death Squad! Or so does Sheik Ali Al-Avatar claim. If there's a takeaway from his mad ramblings, it's DEATH SQUAD WILL WIN THE TOURNAMENT OF CLASSIC SAM KEITH! Double Diaz vs The Mid Atlantic Express Unlike every other tag team presented so far, Double Diaz and the Mid Atlantic Express will not be participating in the upcoming Sam Keith Classic as the announcing team lets everyone know. Still, the two teams have an ongoing rivalry that began when James Diaz issued his open challenge shortly after joining Piledriver Wrestling. The Diaz cousins already hold a victory over the Mid Atlantic Express, but that was tainted by the interference of the debuting (or is it returning?) Hijo de Pilgrim, leading to this rematch. In-ring action takes a bit of a backseat so that the four men can tell the story of their rivalry and after exploiting the inexperience of James Diaz, the heels manage to isolate and wear him down before Collier applies his Texas Cloverleaf for the finish, bringing the score to one victory for each side. Winners: The Mid Atlantic Express, by submission Backstage, the Piledriver champion is watching the action on a TV screen and with James Diaz tapping out, he isn't shy about taunting the cousins for their overconfidence while comparing his career to what the both of them have achieved so far in another textbook cocky young heel promo. ww COTT Women's title match "The Iron Lady" Jillian Jarvis (with Vinny Cruz) © vs "Ice Cold" Claire Winters (with Gorgon) Led to the ring by her real-life mentor and Piledriver School of Wrestling head trainer Gorgon (albeit without her signature facepaint) "Ice Cold" Claire Winters looks ready to do battle in the main event. Her opponent is QAW and AAA's "Iron Lady", a rutheless striker who only recently defeated Foxxy LaRue to claim the title belt. In a nod to their real life romantic relationship as well as Cruz leading the Ronin 3 stable in Texas, the man joins Jillian Jarvisbut for all the promising setup, neither manager seems to be clicking with their respective competitors; instead, they seem to complicate things and detract from the action. Fortunately, Jarvis and Winters seem to really feed off each other's energy and their apparent chemistry is enough to counteract the ringside distractions as they trade blows back and forth. Both hard hitting brawlers, their match looks like something straight out of a 5SSW (or the recently created WINNOW) ring and goes well past the 15 minute mark before Jarvis nails her challenger with the second Tornado Elbow Smash of the match for the pin and her first successful title defense. Winner:"The Iron Lady" Jillian Jarvis, by pinfall Jillian Jarvis makes defence number 1 of her COTT Womens title Show Rating:

I kinda gave it away with the narrative, but Daniels deserved it. She's only a 1 year pro, has the DeMarcus relationship and is basically a Cherry Bomb regen, so with CB being the booker for AAA I thought I'd write her as being her hero. The real question is what role a third member would fill. Sawyer is the mouthpiece, Torres is the technician and Trigg is the powerhouse. With my product penalizing high flyers, I'm a bit bummed. Fortunately, tag team wrestling now takes front stage with the Classic around the corner so that buys me some time.

If seven year old her knew she'd bee talking to her hero before the age of 25, she would lose her marbles. And not just talking. She would meet her in person. Work for her. Because Cherry Bomb had just called to offer her a job in Washington with AAA. So why wasn't she happy?</p><p> </p><p> She got up and started pacing the room as she tried to process everything. The deal was non-exclusive, sure, but Piledriver Wrestling had a policy of cutting their talent loose once they'd managed to score a contract with a bigger organization. She'd be back, she tried telling herself; she'd be still under the COTT umbrella. Deep down inside, she knew that wasn't happening unless she'd somehow win the COTT Women's title. Laura Flame, Deborah Young, Talia Quinzel... none of them ever came back. Only Foxxy, to defend the belt.</p><p> </p><p> She had to tell Nate. She had to tell Sawyer and Lee and the Sheik.

Other than McManus and maybe Logan Diaz at times, there is little actual wrestling on display in this brawl. Double Diaz score the first elimination when big man James knocks Fitzpaine off the apron while Langton gets hit with a Belly to Belly Suplex by Logan for the pin. Immediately in response, Cruz sends the Boys from the Yukon to dump James out of the ring and hit their Tiiiimber! double team finisher to eliminate the Diaz cousins, bringing things down to themselves and the clean cut duo of McManus and Garner. Despite a great display of wrestling skill, Garner gets too cocky too soon and finds himself on the wrong corner of the ring before eating a powerslam from Whittaker that ends the match.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The Boys from the Yukon, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> The order of elimination was The Good Ol' Boys first, then Double Diaz, and finally McManus & Garner</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="w0AbW5G.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/w0AbW5G.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tkr72FT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Tkr72FT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> In a wacky, hilarious joint promo, El Hijo de Pilgrim and Oscar Tufnel make fun of the Mid Atlantic Express, essentially revealing Tufnel as Pilgrim's mystery partner for tonight.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="gDXGKOl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gDXGKOl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="R9KIBTS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/R9KIBTS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="w0AbW5G.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/w0AbW5G.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tkr72FT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Tkr72FT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> The Mid Atlantic Express (Collier & Architect) vs El Hijo de Pilgrim & Oscar Tufnel</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> True to his "Class Act" nickname, at least in appearance, Syd Collier debuts a new 'classy' ring outfit, a visual representation of how distant he considers himself to be from his comedy opponents tonight. His wrestling style however is the same traditionalist technical approach MAW was famous for, one that the Architect knows and utilizes himself as well, making the Mid Atlantic Express a very dangerous combination indeed. Pilgrim and Tufnel may have charisma in spades, but they certainly lack the in-ring skill to compete even if they took this match seriously; as a result, the Architect is able to put Tufnel in the Blueprint just six minutes into the match, an abrupt end to an otherwise entertaining performance.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The Mid Atlantic Express, by submission</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="M4SOg7D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M4SOg7D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ejbjbKm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ejbjbKm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="uN4bdE9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uN4bdE9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="k2Enuj8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/k2Enuj8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PSW6j5L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PSW6j5L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="orMSYPb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/orMSYPb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Buck Winchester & Xavi Ferrera vs The Heartbreak Express (with Lisa Bowen)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> No titles are on the line but the Piledriver Tag Team champions face some formidable opposition in the promotion's two singles champions, Ferrera and Winchester. The action is fast and more than once, it never seems like the four competitors are 30 years or younger; for all the heels' individual success, they do lack the teaming experience of the Express and that's before the clash of egos comes into effect, a deadly combination leads to the match finish when Needham catches an arguing Winchester from behind with a roll up and Ferrera never bothers to break up the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The Heartbreak Express, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="amsxoxV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/amsxoxV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Furious, Winchester gets back on his feet to attack Needham and despite his apparent apathy, Ferrera doesn't miss the opportunity to hop on the top rope and launch himself onto the incoming Liotta with a Ferrerarana. It's far from teamwork though, because Ferrera gloats and poses instead of pressing his advantage, until Jebediah makes his way to the ring, forcing the heels to a retreat as Lisa Bowen's clients regroup to return backstage.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="91n2QDt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/91n2QDt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="8sEkkAa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8sEkkAa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="cfAEiGT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfAEiGT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="aMXABmX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aMXABmX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Piledriver Women's title match</strong></p><p><strong> Eri Sato vs Mariana Torres © (with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Sato may have scored a pinfall on Torres at War for Territory #18 to earn herself this title match, but the situation here is very different: Sato lacks her talented teammate in "Ice Cold" Claire Winters and Torres lacks the 'distraction' of Dee Daniels. Even Sawyer seems to take a back seat to the match, letting the two women go at it an very competitive back and forth bout. Turns out it's all part of the plan though, because once Torres is thrown to the corner for the Sato Tornado [Corner Spin Kick] Sawyer rushes in to pull his client away just in time. Sato is caught with a leg on the top turnbuckle and Torres grabs hold of a free arm to pull her into the Venus Fly-Trap. Sato reaches for the ropes but once again, Sawyer is there to pull the ropes out of her reach and provide Torres with the time needed to drag Sato away, eventually forcing her to tap out.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Mariana Torres, by submission after interference from "Playboy" Jake Sawyer</strong></p><p><strong> Mariana Torres makes defence number 1 of her Piledriver Womens title</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="n1i1cZU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/n1i1cZU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> For all the mat slapping and bell ringing though, Torres just isn't looking like she wants to let go of the hold. Sato screams in pain and Sawyer urges his client (in Spanish) to break the challenger's arm, until Winters makes a run to the ring for the save. Sawyer sees her and warns Torres who gets out just in time and the two of them return backstage with the title belt as Winters checks on Sato.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><img alt="7nXiDsK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7nXiDsK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="2FjO0qV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2FjO0qV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FHUEpiU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FHUEpiU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="2rzwtJa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rzwtJa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Reaper vs Masked Patriot (with Miss Atlantic Wrestling)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Patriot walks into this match well aware he's in for a rough one, but this being just his second one on one match against Reaper, he seems to be forgetting the big man is nothing like his former master. Sure, Scythe was a big strong dude, but one who'd wrestle between the ropes. Reaper in comparison is a 'non negotiable' 360lb monster of a man who won't be moved around nor looks like he's willing to try and wrestle. Content throwing his weight around and taking Patriot's blows like they're nothing, Reaper spends most of the match on the offensive and never once goes for the pin. Even when it seems like he's going for his finisher, Reaper is just content to hold up Patriot high in the air with both hands around his throat but never slamming him down. Eventually, after several warnings from referee Alvin Lavin about applying a choke hold, none of which Reaper seems to care about, the bell is rung and he is disqualified. Not that the match end stops him, but once Miss Atlantic Wrestling defiantly slides into the ring to confront him, Reaper drops the former champion and walks away; whether because Miss Atlantic Wrestling didn't register as a challenge worth bothering with or because for some reason he wouldn't hit a female is anyone's guess though.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Masked Patriot, by disqualification</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p>

As expected, Frye seems way too sloppy trying to go hold for hold against the former judo competitor and somehow the match turns out to be pretty competitive despite Frye originally being the favorite by far. What Frye cannot tone down though is his resilience, a feature that keeps him in the match for over ten minutes until he finally manages to use Edison's frustration against him and slap on the Royal Armbar in the middle of the ring for the tap out.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Nelson Frye, by submission</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="sma3Die.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sma3Die.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="sma3Die.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sma3Die.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46461" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Confirmed matches for Starmageddon</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><ul><li>NGW Cruiserweight title match: Shiro Akuma © vs Christopher Lister<br /></li><li>20 man Starmageddon match.

Orson takes advantage of his slight size advantage to move Koller around and hit some impressive slams, but the Rock and Roller rolls out of the ring to recover, thus luring Orson to a ringside brawl. More comfortable in such an enviroment and with McKenna assisting him, Koller takes control of the match and even tops it off with a smooth slingshot senton after he's dragged Orson back into the ring but only gets a two count for his effort. The hardcore brawling has taken its toll on Koller and Orson goes for his kip up DDT finisher called the Bounce Back, but Koller barely wiggles his head loose in time to escape and counter with a kick to the gut. McKenna climbs to the apron and does her best to be annoying, eventually distracting the ref so that Koller can kick his opponent's groin and deliver the Hamburg Rock City for the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Sebastian Koller, by pinfall after Viper McKenna interfered</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="pyf9Pt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pyf9Pt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="wuo51A1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wuo51A1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="KRd8pBF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KRd8pBF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="LFcPDbz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LFcPDbz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> In the usual scenery of red velvet recliners and champagne chilling in the ice bucket, we're treated to another episode of "Lover's Lounge" where the NGW Heavyweight champion is interviewing The Gentleman and the Pitbull, NGW's decorated team consisting of Nelson Frye and Robert Howard.

Druss had managed to pull out Reaper's best ever performance to date and now I could see why Dread had made him assistant trainer at the Factory. My joy for that was nothing compared to my biggest problem though, as Patriot refused to lose to Xavi. Sure, he was our top babyface, but for now he had to play ball and help get Xavi over, which he didn't want to do, even when I promised to let him dominate the match like Lenny Brown did before leaving for New York; Patriot wouldn't hear it, so I wrote him out, made Reaper looks strong doing it and set up our main event for Seek and Destroy. Better than forcing the booking down his throat and deal with a poorly worked main event, plus his whining for who knows how long after that.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="uN4bdE9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uN4bdE9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BX7IQui.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BX7IQui.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MzjfHKV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MzjfHKV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="oSBICFE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oSBICFE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> I'll be honest though, Xavi wasn't getting the heel heat I expected him to. Reaper was our top heel but even with him being the monster, Xavi didn't even take second place. Fans were captivated by Syd Collier's MAW invader/nostalgia act. I wondered if I'd once again rushed Xavi's push, but I was pretty confident I'd taken careful steps after his heel turn. Taking the title off him so soon for a second time would be disastrous; best thing I could do was take even more time building up future talent like the Diaz cousins.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="3XM4dah.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3XM4dah.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WuYw4C6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WuYw4C6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6PMa28U.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6PMa28U.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="4E1fiQ6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4E1fiQ6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> Wolfe was turning out to be a pretty big deal too, even if he had to carry Annihilus through every Death Squad match. Having the COTT World Tag Team titles meant a heavier work schedule for them and I was hoping Annihilus would pick up a trick or two. Their defense in New York was good and working a show south of the border helped them get used to the lucha libre style. OLLIE was still in a bit of a mess following Joaquin Soler's retirement from the business. Phoenix was trying to keep everything together and Chess Maniac wasn't yet appointed as CEO until after that show. I was still sleepy from the flight back when I heard the news: Sam Keith took over as booker for USPW after Robbie Sanchez stepped down. I mean, it made sense given his skill and the money offered; we weren't even registering on USPW's radar as potential competition, but I still couldn't help feeling somewhat bitter. It felt like he spit on everything MAW and the COTT were supposedly created for. On the other hand, wouldn't I do the same in his shoes? Did I want us to stay with the COTT forever and rule the minor leagues? Probably not.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46150" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Piledriver Wrestling Presents</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Seek and Destroy 2019</span></strong></p><p><strong> Saturday, Week 2 June, 2019</strong></p><p><strong> Live from the North Carolina Biker Museum, NC</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> Main Event</strong></p><p><strong> Grudge Match</strong></p><p> Reaper vs Masked Patriot</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Semi Main Event</strong></p><p><strong> Piledriver Women's title match</strong></p><p> Eri Sato vs Mariana Torres ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Gold against Gold non title match</strong></p><p> Buck Winchester & Xavi Ferrera vs The Heartbreak Express</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Special Tag Team match</strong></p><p> The Mid Atlantic Express (Collier & Architect) vs El Hijo de Pilgrim & ??</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Opening Four Team Elimination Tag match</strong></p><p> Double Diaz vs McManus & Garner vs The Good Ol' Boys vs The Boys from the Yukon</p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Both men were pretty vocal in their taunts and shouts of 'nepotism' while in control of the match and working on the rookie. Despite his inexperience, James Diaz was able to use his power advantage to get himself out of a tight spot and tag in Logan, forcing the heels to a cowardly retreat. Even when they returned to the ring, the Express weren't shy about bending the rules to overcome the obstacle of Logan Diaz and for a while, it really looked like they were going to get away with a shady win over the popular fan favourite until...</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="w0AbW5G.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/w0AbW5G.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> ...El Hijo de Pilgrim ran down to the ring, causing Collier to shift his focus and leave the ring to confront the masked man.

With his signature oldschool style of hard hitting strikes and technical slams, Wolfe was in control until Fernandez somehow managed to reverse a spinebuster into a huge DDT! Crawling to his corner, he tagged in California Love Machine and off to the races it was from there as CLM flew around to hit Wolfe from all angles and turn the match around. Going Coastal showcased some excellent teamwork in their attempts to do some damage but a timely intervetion from the Sheik at ringside allowed Wolfe to tag in the Monster; California Love Machine didn't notice until it was too late and after slingshooting himself to a flying crossbody, he got caught by Annihilus who planted him with a Running Powerslam for the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The Death Squad, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> The Death Squad make defence number 2 of their COTT World Tag Team titles</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="7rS8uzo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7rS8uzo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="OMuDnHg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OMuDnHg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="4LTspFc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4LTspFc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Backstage, Vinny Cruz and the Good Ol' Boys were watching the action on a TV screen.

The smile froze on his face though as by the count of eight, the music of Riley McManus hit and the man himself came out as the ring announcer introduced him as Patriot's replacement. His shock turning to rage, Ferrera argued with the official, timekeeper and McManus himself about this being 'illegal' before Riley brought him crashing down to reality: a couple of shots and a bounce off the ropes, Ferrera was hit with the Slingshot Suplex and the match was off with McManus already ahead by one fall!</p><p> </p><p> The defending champion was now playing catch-up, a situation that further allowed McManus to lure him into a grappling contest. The exchanges that followed were rock solid, the two men putting up a technical clinic for the oldschool fans before Ferrera messed their fun with a roll-up Ferrerarana pin out of nowhere to level the playing field. Things quickly escalated from there, a sense of urgency as both men tried to overcome their exhaustion and score the winning fall. In a spectacular sequence, McManus went for the Slingshot Suplex again but Ferrera somehow landed on his feet and turned it into an inverted DDT, with Riley managing to get a shoulder up and break the follow-up pin attempt. Ferrera then went for the High Impact Frog Splash but McManus rolled to the side and the champion hit nothing but mat. With both men down, it was an opportunity for whoeve would manage to get back on his feet first. McManus did and he went to lock in a Sharpshooter, but Ferrera made it to the ropes. The challenger was tired and desperate, but Ferrera had a plan as he removed the protective padding from the bottom turnbuckle: quickly unscrewing the mechanism underneath, he grabbed a piece for that extra oomph and clogged McManus in the head with it, throwing it away before the ref could notice and stealing the third fall to win the main event.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: ""The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera, by pinfall after using a foreign object</strong></p><p><strong> "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera makes defence number 2 of his Piledriver Championship title</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p>

Black Canvas Updates No butterflies for the Bulldozer BCG's latest Rise show ended in the worst possible way for National title holder Bulldozer Brandon Smith. Not only did American Demolition Mk.II lose their main event match against superstars Funakoshi and Yoshinaka Taku but Smith was also pinned by Funakoshi, meaning the former World champion has a legitimate claim to a match for Smith's title. To make matters worse for him, after getting hit with Funakoshi's Butterfly Backbreaker finisher, Smith was later diagnosed with severe back damage and will be taking some months off to heal. According to doctors, he is expected to return in February or even later than that, which not only pushes the date of his title match against Funakoshi but also means there is a very real possibility that American Demolition Mk.II may not be competing in next year's TagMania V tournament if Smith isn't back soon enough. Young Lion no more Double K also had an excellent match in the semi main event, with Gidayu Katou catching Motoyuki Miyake with a decapitating lariat in the finish. His win did earn him a shot at Miyake's Challengers Series title but more important, it highlighted his status as no longer being another young lion in the pack. With Black Canvas Grappling's annual Anniversary show coming up this month, Katou will be wrestling Miyake for the title in the show's only title match. Quadruple debut The new three month tour season began with the debut of four new faces on the Black Canvas roster, all of which debuted in December's Rise show. Ray Snow's partner was introduced as Scott "Hammer" Hadley, an extremely muscular rookie from Florida who utilizes a similar 'strong style' approach to that of Snow. Less is known about Masao Takizawa, the youngster who joined Pavel Vanzycha, other than the fact that he is a graduate of the PGHW Dojo, as his textbook puroresu in-ring style would imply. Joining the current World Tag Team champions for the opening six man tag match was Tony "T-Bone" Bright, a heavyweight ex-football star turned wrestler who has already made an impression in his home country wrestling for California's IPW. Last but certainly not least was Logan Wolfsbaine, nephew of PGHW legend Raymond Diaz who also borrowed his uncle's last name for his appearances in Japan.

Kyuichi Matsumoto & Eikichi Itou vs Pavel Vanzycha & Masao Takizawa In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Kyuichi Matsumoto and Eikichi Itou defeated Pavel Vanzycha and Masao Takizawa in 9:39 when Kyuichi Matsumoto defeated Masao Takizawa by pinfall with a Matsumoto Murder Bomb. Masao Takizawa was visibly tired by the end Muscle Blasters vs Ray Snow & Hammer Hadley In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Muscle Blasters defeated Ray Snow and Hammer Hadley in 9:41 when MUSCLE Serizawa defeated Hammer Hadley by pinfall with a Backdrop Driver III. Double K vs Bunrakuken Torii & Motoyuki Miyake In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Double K defeated Bunrakuken Torii and Motoyuki Miyake in 16:07 when Gidayu Katou defeated Motoyuki Miyake by pinfall with a Lariat. American Demolition Mk.II vs Funakoshi & Yoshinaka Taku In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Funakoshi and Yoshinaka Taku defeated American Demolition Mk.II in 16:09 when Funakoshi defeated Bulldozer Brandon Smith by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker.

Yup, my bad. I remember saying I understand why you decided to drop the TV deal and not cater to the Japanese audience despite buying out BHotWG.

War for Territory #18 card and narrative So yeah, we now had a new Women's champion in "Poison Ivy" Mariana Torres. I didn't want to pull the trigger just yet, Claire had mileage with the gold in my eyes, especially after she turned face but the landscape was such that I had to do it. Unlike Perez who didn't live up to he hype, Torres got over with the fans real quick. For a woman who didn't even speak the language, never cut a promo and was fresh from giving birth and the break that came with a maternity leave, she had been a real hit out of left field. She was also the only veteran heel on my roster. Hollands had been kept in the dark after causing an injury in her first couple of matches, Trigg was the greenest and Daniels who was skilled and over for a rookie had already wasted her shot. With Torres as champion, I had a host of challengers to choose from; Winters, Sato, Miss Atlantic Wrestling, even Lee's protege Nicole Pyle if she could build up a bit of stamina. Jebediah was a similar story. He was out of challengers and I needed contenders for Xavi as well. Buck was now a two time US champion, a man who could carry the belt and carry his contenders to good matches while staying afloat. He was a good man, a good worker and there since day one. If he wasn't moving up to challenge for the big tite, he might as well be a secondary champion. The stipulation and booking allowed him and Jeb to play to their strengths while also taking me out of the tight spot of having to sell fans on someone scoring a pin on the big amish. I was surprised at how easy it was convincing the Good Ol' Boys to lose clean to the Express. Thimbleby and Wooton had it all: the experience, the fame, the size, the hype, they had every right to demand a win against the rookie champs but they didn't. They kept their head down and did what was expected of them, in the process setting a bright example for everyone else. They could live with the loss, what was important was establishing the champions and building up the next generation of talent. I knew it and they knew it too. What actually threw a wrench in my plans was Lee extending Jonah Pilgrim's contract behind my back. Kid had been in limbo for a while and I decided to write him out with that match against the Architect as his contract expired, but then Lee went ahead to renew it on his own so I had to manage that somehow. This whole repackaging under a mask is usually done to refresh a worker, I did it to cover up how my boss messed with my booking. Only bad shot on an otherwise great night was B-Panther. I'll admit I knew his reputation for getting too excited and injuring others, but two incidents in a couple of months was just too much. He came in hot, won his debut but injured Drebin, so I had him take the pin when the Good Ol' Boys debuted. Then he lost to Scythe in a dark match before the big man left for New York. I was hoping he'd learned his lesson, but Knight's broken fingers begged to differ. Panther was brought on a 3 month trial deal and what's funny, I'd decided to give him a chance. I'd made an offer to extend his contract prior to the show. Once he came up with an answer right after his match, I pulled my offer. He was shocked, but not as shocked as when I read him the riot act in my post show speech. I could have fired him right after, but I wanted to make it special. He would show up at War for Territory #18 and then I would kick him out. His contract was running out anyway.

Fatal Force 2019 Piledriver Wrestling Presents Fatal Force 2019 Saturday, Week 4 May, 2019 Live from the North Carolina Biker Museum, NC "Glorious" Logan Diaz comes out with his cousin, newcomer James Diaz to a good fan reaction. As James gets in the ring and hits all four corners to raise a fist in salute of the fans, Logan hypes him up and repeats the open challenge to anyone in the locker room to come out and face the son of the legendary Raymond Diaz. Lights go dim and brooding music hits the speakers as out comes... Uh oh... w Reaper vs James Diaz (with Logan Diaz) Young James sure is a big man with the intensity to stand his ground, but it's obvious here he's bitten off more than he can chew. While not tossing him around like he usually does with opponents, Reaper still is in control for the entire the match and Logan's directions from the sidelines seem to stress James and throw him off more than they help him, allowing Reaper to hit the Death Bomb and score the pin just before the clock reaches six minutes. Winner: Reaper, by pinfall B-Panther takes to the ring next for a scathing promo on racial equality and police brutality, before (predictably) calling out Piledriver Wrestling's resident crooked cop, Jules Knight. B-Panther vs Jules Knight Wrestling takes a back seat in favor of the story told between the ropes, a character study on the clash between polar opposites. Knight isn't shy about controling his opponent with his technical mastery and humiliating him while B-Panther is held in a submission hold, which in turn fires up the militant black man to strike back with his signature wild brawling style. The turning point in the match happens once Knight calls for a test of skill, only to have B-Panther tweak the wrist in the knuckle lock and apparently break one or more of his fingers. Furious, Knight screams in rage and takes hold of the "Knight stick", a police baton he carries with him to the ring. The finale is all Rodney King-ish, with Knight getting disqualified but not really looking like he cares as he leaves B-Panther bloodied on the mat to return backstage clutching his hand. Winner: B-Panther, by disqualification Backstage, the Piledriver champion can barely contain his laughter as he taunts the Diaz cousins for shooting themselves in the foot. According to Ferrera, Logan and James paid for their arrogance thinking they're better than everyone else due to being second generation talents. Logan should have learned his lesson by now, says the Athlete; Ferrera is a two time champion and will be forging his legacy while Logan will be busy babysitting his young cousin. Piledriver Tag Team titles match w The Heartbreak Express © (with Lisa Bowen) w The Good Ol' Boys (with Vinny Cruz) After Thimbleby Langton pinned Johnny Needham in the six man opening tag match of War for Territory #17, the Good Ol' Boys find themselves gunning for the Piledriver Tag Team titles already. As always, Vinny Cruz is calm and collected at ringside, letting his veteran big boys do what they do best, which is work together to trample the opposition. "Jumping" Johnny Needham finds himself in a tough spot as the hillbilly heavyweights bully him to their corner and cut the ring in half with textbook tag team tactics. Liotta and Bowen do their best to hype up their man and rile up the audience, which eventually has Needham create a bit of space with a desperate dropkick. Him and Fitzpaine are down and the ground is even, leading to the slow crawl for the tag. Liotta and Langton get the tag and clash in the middle of the ring to a stalemate. Using his power to control Liotta, Langton blows a creepy kiss towards Bowen's way but before he can tag in his partner for the Iowa Harvest, Liotta uses the opening to escape the big man's grip and hit him with a Swinging Neckbreaker for the pin as the champs retain out of nowhere. Winners: The Heartbreak Express, by pinfall The Heartbreak Express make defence number 2 of their Piledriver Tag Team titles w Strap match for the Piledriver United States title Buck Winchester vs Jebediah © (with Lisa Bowen) Bowen's clients already having scored a title defense in the previous match, she's looking for back-to-back wins as Jebediah takes to the ring, his frame indeed looking like he's dropped a significant amount of fat just like Winchester mentioned when he made his title challenge via social media. Leaner and meaner, Jebediah is off to a straightforward brawl with the cowboy and things quickly go out of control, a situation highlighting not just the tension between the two competitors but also how Jebediah's new physique has given him better conditioning. The thick leather strap connecting the two men is, of course, used as a weapon, whether wrapped around fists, swung as a lash or in choke attempts with the brawl even spilling outside the ring as Jebediah and Buck seem to forget the rules about having to touch all four corners, instead too caught up in trying to destroy each other. With much effort from referee Alvin Lavin, the brawl is gradually brought back between the ropes and goes from post to post. Once down to the final corner, Jebediah grabs the ropes, not turnbuckle pad, looking to hit the Sundown Splash and finish his opponent; while laid down on the corner, Buck smartly reaches up to touch the pad instead of rolling away to avoid the big man's finisher. The bell is rung, Jebediah brings his full weight down on Winchester with the Sundown Splash but as per the rules of the match, Winchester is the winner and new Piledriver US champion. Winner: Buck Winchester Buck Winchester wins the Piledriver United States title "Class Act" Syd Collier is congratulating The Architect for winning his match last month and ridding everyone from having to watch Jonah Pilgrim, when a previously unheard music theme hits the speakers to interrupt them. Rushing out to join them... ...is an all too familiar pudgy framed man who slides into the ring, grabs the mic off a shocked Collier and introduces himself as El Hijo de Pilgrim, before hitting both Collier and the Architect with a double clothesline! Why on earth an American man would put on a mask with Canada's maple leaf on while calling himself a Mexican name is anyone's guess, fact of the matter is El Hijo de Pilgrim has arrived! Or returned! Whatever... w Piledriver Women's title match "Ice Cold" Claire Winters © vs "Poison Ivy" Mariana Torres (with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer) The much awaited confrontation of Winters versus Torres is the show's main event and indeed it turns out to be a hotly contested match. Winters does her best to keep it a standing exchange of strikes but more than once, Torres is able to block, control a limb and take Winters to the mat, showcasing her skill when it comes to chain wrestling, reversals and submission mastery on the mat. Sliding between holds with serpentine grace, Torres remains in control but her offense is split between working her opponent's legs to take away the offense and working the arm to soften it up for her own finishing move. This lack of focus, coupled with the inner fire Sawyer's ringside taunting seems to rekindle lead to a big comeback from Winters leading up to her finisher. In a moment of desperation, Sawyer crawls into the ring and barely manages to put his own body in harm's way as he takes Winters' finisher himself in a shocking moment. While unusual, Alvin Lavin deems this does not constitute a disqualification per se and in all the uncertainty, Torres catches the champion with a decapitating enzuguiri. Winters falls, Torres makes the cover, one... two... three! Winner: Mariana Torres, by submission after "Playboy" Jake Sawyer interfered Mariana Torres wins the Piledriver Womens title Show Rating:

Kudos for the visual upgrade and shout out to southside_hitmen for his part in it. Gotta say I was a bit shocked to read about BHOTWG closing (don't think you've brought it up since the financial scandal) and Duane Stone being out-worked my Mort and Whittaker.

Great to see you back again willr0ck. Love the 80s/GLOW/Miami Vice vibe of the South Beach stuff. Exodus logo looks slick and modern, the detail on the title is insane and finally some alliance titles for the MJM!

From that point on, the Express used their experience to double team their opponent and turn things round. Although initially unwiling to work together with the Good Ol' Boys, Winchester was forced to retreat and tag in Fitzpaine, taking the match into a clash of established tag teams. After some back and forth, Winchester forcefully tagged himself back in and demanded to wrestle the man who took his Piledriver US title. Jebediah obliged, leading to a current versus former title holder exchange of blows until Langton returned the favor and blind tagged himself back in. Jebediah held his ground against the two hillbilly heavyweights but their teamwork was too much to handle so he handed the wheel back to the Express. Needham came in flying, but Langton caught him mid-air to reverse into the Gutwrench Flapjack and score the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: Buck Winchester & The Good Ol' Boys, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="MzjfHKV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MzjfHKV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="uN4bdE9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uN4bdE9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> "Glorious" Logan Diaz came to the ring next, calling out "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera to wrestle the tag match he challenged him to a month ago. The Piledriver Champion did arrive, but apparrently was in no mood for the proceedings. According to Xavi, he was too busy preparing for his title defense against Masked Patriot and then recovering from their 'epic bout' so he didn't have time to look for a teammate and told management he will team with anyone they give him. After all, he's the Piledriver Champion, he could even win a 2 on 1 handicap match if no one was found.

Wearing his best outfit for his 'big match' the ex-cop looked to be in the zone, but judging from Ferrera's reaction, the champion probably thought someone was trying to make a fool of him.

James made not only his PDW but his pro wrestling debut entirely, working his first match ever as he made good use of his size to give Knight a hard time. Ferrera was unwilling to call for the tag, but once Knight tagged him in, he was all too happy to put the young grasshopper in his place. Xavi used his skill and experience edge to trick James Diaz into wrestling the style that suited the champion better, disrespectfully slapping him around and talking trash before whipping him to the corner and daring Logan to come in. That he did, leading to some pretty exciting wrestling until Knight blind tagged himself in. This caused some discord on the heel team, but it also allowed Logan to tag his cousin back in. James took his time to lay the trap and as soon as Knight turned around, he hit him with his father's famous finisher, the Asian Thumb Spike to win his debut match!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: Double Diaz, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="HFJn08h.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HFJn08h.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="cfAEiGT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfAEiGT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="aMXABmX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aMXABmX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Teresa Perez vs "Poison Ivy" Mariana Torres (with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> After a shaky start in Piledriver Wrestling, Teresa Perez apparently thought she could get back on track if she scored a victory over Mariana Torres, which made her request this match against the Poison Ivy. Being a luchador herself, Perez theoretically knew how to deal with the former CILL grappler, yet the execution was widely different from theory. The high flying style of "T-Pez" looked completely at odds with the ground, if not mat based submission style of Torres and neither woman looked exceptionally good in this bout. As an adjustment on the fly, the competitors toned down the action to emphasize their clash of characters and build up drama, but there was little they could do to salvage the match before Torres slapped on the Venus Fly-Trap.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Mariana Torres, by submission</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="M4SOg7D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M4SOg7D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="n1i1cZU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/n1i1cZU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="cfAEiGT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfAEiGT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="aMXABmX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aMXABmX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Even after the bell, Torres refused to let go and for a split second, it felt like she'd snap another arm after Punnen's but "Ice Cold" Claire Winters' music hit and she came out with the title around her waist and a mic in hand. At the sight of the Piledriver Women's champion, Torres let go and got back on her feet as Sawyer slid into the ring to join her. In a solid promo, Winters said she's sick of Torres' games and the rest of the division shouldn't pay for her ambition with their bodies and their careers; she'll give Torres what she wants, a singles match for the Piledriver Women's title. Sawyer, who had been translating everything to Torres all along, immediately accepted and his client seemed to agree, as she did the universal 'title belt' gesture around her waist.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="oiCenqK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oiCenqK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Idx6BNr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Idx6BNr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7rS8uzo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7rS8uzo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Backstage, the grizzled tough lumberjacks known as The Boys from the Yukon were glaring menacingly at the camera when Vinny Cruz joined them to announce that they are not here tonight as a one-night deal to represent NYCW; Howlin' Mad Mort and Whitehorse Whittaker signed contracts with Piledriver Wrestling and he will be representing them in and out of the ring!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="SJYcxhu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SJYcxhu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="vunGiRs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vunGiRs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="oiCenqK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oiCenqK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Idx6BNr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Idx6BNr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="7rS8uzo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7rS8uzo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Riley McManus & Quentrel Garner vs The Boys from the Yukon (with Vinny Cruz)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> McManus and Garner may not be a regular team like their opponents, but their clinical wrestling style and clean cut attitude made them feel like they belong together or at least, given their age and experience gap, have a mentor-protege kind of relationship. Garner began the match against Whittaker, who looked like he was having trouble against the young prospect. With McManus guiding him from the apron, Garner pushed back the big man and the tag was made to Mort. Looking a bit better than his teammate, Howlin' Mad Mort punished the young rookie and McManus had to intervene. He and Mort wrestled the bulk of the remaininig match, both tagging in their teammates when they were starting to run out of stamina. Garner yet again sought to outwrestle Whittaker, but he made a rookie mistake when he fell for the yelling of Vinny Cruz that threw him off guard just long enough for the lumberjack team to grab him for their Tiiiiiiiiiiimber double team finisher to get the win.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The Boys from the Yukon, by pinfall after Vinny Cruz interfered</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="FHUEpiU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FHUEpiU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rzwtJa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rzwtJa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2FjO0qV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2FjO0qV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yNQekBM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yNQekBM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Patriot Power (Masked Patriot & Miss Atlantic Wrestling) vs Reaper & "The Goth" Nancy Hollands</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Harking back to when Patriot Power faced Scythe & Reaper in Piledriver Wrestling's first ever mixed gender match, this one was a true intergender match that had a male and a female wrestler in each team. Miss Atlantic Wrestling began fighting the debuting (in the main show, at least) Piledriver School graduate Nancy Hollands and although "the Goth" proved herself to be a decent all-arounder, there was no doubt that Sam Keith's protege was the better wrestler of the two. Sensing that herself, the masked technician tried to apply her Kentucky Fried Chickenwing finisher for a quick win, but Hollands hopped around until she was close enough to tag Reaper in. As the 360lb monster entered the ring, there was no doubt how the matchup would play out and so Miss Atlantic Wrestling retreated to tag her partner in. Once again, Masked Patriot and Reaper collided in the ring and for all the fan support, Patriot just couldn't cut it against the massive man. Just as Reaper was about to execute his finisher though, the lights flickered and his blood seemed to freeze. Everyone expected Scythe to show up in search of vengeance, but he never did. Still, Reaper let his opponent go and tagged Hollands back in, taking his place on the apron as he looked around cautiously. Hollands wasn't shy about doing some damage to her opponent, but when Patriot blocked a chop he proved to be a gentleman when he refused to hit back and instead tagged Miss Atlantic Wrestling back in, who applied the Kentucky Fried Chickenwing on her trapped opponent and with Reaper unwilling to break things up, Hollands finally tapped out.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: Patriot Power, by submission</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="N2uDJNN.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N2uDJNN.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="MTergdN.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MTergdN.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BX7IQui.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BX7IQui.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> COTT World Heavyweight title match</strong></p><p><strong> "American Patriot" Bulldozer Brandon Smith © vs "Class Act" Syd Collier</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Yet again, the COTT World Heavyweight champion returned to Delaware under the mask of American Patriot, a reference that seemed to enrage his challenger who wouldn't stop yelling about this being a disgrace to MAW's legacy and telling Smith that he was spitting on the legacy he built with that company. Collier ate a big boot for his words and fans exploded into cheers as the match kicked off (literally) with a bang. Smith backed the challenger into a corner and unloaded onto his chest with a flurry of chops, a spot he probably picked up wrestling in Japan, but the subsequent suplex wasn't enough to keep Collier down for the three count. After the exciting start, things slowed down as Collier tried to turn this into a grappling contest and Smith found himself on the defensive. "Class Act" was aiming for a submission, a style Smith is not really known for but more than once, the defending champion showed his technical prowess and strength when he powered out to slam Collier onto the mat. The repeated damage slowly took its toll on Collier who was struggling to continue and that allowed Smith to get back in the match, leading to a ring-shaking Backdrop Driver for the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: "American Patriot" Bulldozer Brandon Smith, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> "American Patriot" Bulldozer Brandon Smith makes defence number 5 of his COTT World Heavyweight title</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="King Bison" data-cite="King Bison" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46150" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Additionally, nothing you could do would make me like Xavi lmao</div></blockquote><p> He's a cocky heel, you're not supposed to like him <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
