Ota was off of his game, but, strangely, he has great chemistry with Grunt. Unfortunately, the chemistry couldn't make up for Grunt's lack of talent and Ota's lack of overness, and, well, the fact that it was a heel-heel match. Anyhow, Ota used his speed and striking skills to keep Grunt off guard, and picked up the win fairly easily, picking up the pinfall with a Ninja Strike.

Rip Chord, and a partner of his choice, will take on Liberty and a partner of his choice.

Of course, the match was kept slow, to account for Redwood's lack of athleticism and for the fact that Streets is quite a bit past his prime. Streets seemed to have things under control, when Redwood resorted to a low blow to save himself. The referee saw the attack and disqualified Redwood.

The ring announcer then calls out Liberty, to a large positive response from the crowd. Then, Sam Strong is called out, to an unbelievable response from the crowd. The match then started, and, as expected, was a short, typical tag team affair. The heels controlled Liberty, cutting off the ring, taking advantage of 5 counts, and using general heel tag tactics. This, eventually, lead to the hot tag which brought Sam Strong into the ring. Strong cleared house, but was eventually double teamed by Java and Tribal Warrior. Liberty recovered and clotheslined Tribal Warrior out of the ring, which freed up Strong to hit the Strong Arm Tactic on Java.

She's huge, taller than me in my heels and weights at least 100 pounds more than me. She pulls me down, as another punch hits me in the back of the neck. Another hits the side of my face, before Cowboy Ricky Dale steps and tries pull us apart. Separating two women is, of course, not a one man job. Fortunately...

Regardless, Cowboy Ricky Dale holds me back, although it's more of a hug than a restraint. [COLOR="Purple"]“[B]What's wrong with you?!?[/B]”[/COLOR], I ask, in a rather whiny voice. The woman lunges forward again, trying to reach for me. Romeo easily holds her back.

Hence, this match. Rockwell and Datsun have a ton of potential, and if we play our cards correctly, will easily match the feats of the Demons of Rage in the future. But, this is the present, and right now, the two rookie workers were simply no match for the crafty veterans. The tag champs dominated this match, using their size and power to tear apart their youthful challengers. After 5 minutes of a trouncing, the Demons picked up the win with the Demon Demon Down.

The reaction to Duane's appearance is solid, despite this not being Canada. Duane maintains an aloof manner, ignoring the fans and literally holding his chin up in the air, as he approaches the ring. [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Your cheers are not necessary. I'm not here for your pleasure. I do not need the approval of a bunch of mid-west hicks.[/B]” [/COLOR] The crowd boos, realizing that Stone is a bad guy. [COLOR="Red"]“[B]I'm here for one reason, and one reason only. The pay check. Pops decided to sign a deal with the virgin billionaire, and I'm looking to profit from it. If that means I have to face Bryan Vessey, no problem.

And suddenly, our next match was underway. The match went back and forth, and it was obvious, early on, that Duane and Lucha have pretty good chemistry. Stone wasn't prepared for someone of Lucha's caliber, and spent much of the match on the defensive. He turned things around, when he countered a spinning head scissors attempt a sitdown flapjack-like maneuver. Sensing opportunity, he quickly locked in the Alabaster Agony. Mr. Lucha held out for nearly a minute, before submitting to Duane's signature move.

We weren't really sure what to do for a main event this week, as we're hesitant to give away many of our big matches on free television. The company has to make money and all, ya' know? Anyhow, before the match began, Rip Chord grabbed a microphone. [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Now personally, I think it's pile of steaming crap that Liberty is guaranteed to be in the main event at the War to Settle the Score. Surfer-boy hasn't done a thing to deserve the shot against Strong. But it doesn't matter, because I'm going to be there as well. And I [I]will[/I] win the HGC World title.[/B]”[/COLOR] And immediately, Rip is met with the old “[B]Al-Key[/B]” chant. [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Keep chanting, plebeians. Won't change a thing. Now, I'm going to beat Teddy Flame tonight, and next week, I'll find a partner and beat Liberty.[/B]” [/COLOR] Thud says the microphone, as it hits the mat.

The pace that Teddy set was breakneck, and, despite Rip's age, it was maintained for the first 10 minutes of the match. Yes, I've said it before, and I'll hopefully say it many more times... Rip is the man. While Teddy looked good, he wasn't quite good enough. And as things progressed, Rip took control of the match. The end came when Teddy tried a flying dropkick, which Rip sidestepped. Rip collapsed on the ropes, selling the damage that he suffered. Teddy struggled to his feet and, upon seeing Rip still a bit weakened, tried to clothesline the veteran. Rip was playing a bit of possum however, and bent Teddy in half with a kick to the midsection. Leaning over, Teddy was in no position to block the Rip Chord DDT.

As the referee helped Teddy out of the ring, Rip grabbed a microphone. But, before he could start to talk, the crowd again started with the “[B]Al-Key[/B]” chant. Rip smirked, basking in his well-earned hatred. Eventually, Rip Chord spoke. [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Did that chant stop me from beating Teddy Flame?[/B]”[/COLOR] The crowd's response: “[B]Al-Key.[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]“[B]No, it didn't. Do you think it'll stop me from beating Liberty and his partner next week?[/B]”[/COLOR] The crowd's response: “[B]Al-Key.[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]“[B]No, it won't. And will it stop me from winning the HGC World title?[/B]”[/COLOR] The crowd's response: “[B]Al-Key.[/B]” And “thud”, the microphone once again said.

[INDENT][CENTER][B] [U]Romeo, Oh Romeo[/U][/B] [/CENTER] Another show, another incident. This time, a failed steroid test. The culprit: Romeo Heartthrob. Now, Romeo is a big star for us. His matches are solid, his gimmick is loved (well, hated...), his angles are fantastic, and he's currently the holder of the HGC International Title. Naturally, I was disappointed when Stallings told me that Romeo failed a random drug test. Disappointed, but not surprised. This was not exactly top secret information. I called Romeo the day after the show. [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Hello[/B]”[/COLOR], he said. [COLOR="Purple"]“[B]Hey Romeo, it's Kelsey.[/B]” [/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Oh.

[SIZE="1"] Predictions and comments always welcome. By the way... I've simmed through the end of this month (a bit ago, actually). And all I have to say is... blah! Not about the cards, but about an error that occured.[/SIZE]

[Midnightnick]

This is actually a hard card. I won't be surprised if I get few right. Robert Oxford vs. [B]Dusty Streets[/B] [I]Dusty made the challenge. Plus, I dig the Streets kids, even if I'm more a Sid man.[/I] The Demons of Rage & Fumihiro Ota vs. [B]The Blazin' Flames & Dark EAGLE[/B] [I]I like the Flames better. Ota will take the pin.[/I] [B]Romeo Hearthrob [/B]vs. Cowboy Ricky Dale for the HGC International Title [I]He may be in the doghouse over Roids, but he's your champion.[/I] [B]Dread and Duane Stone[/B] vs. The Vessey Brothers [I]Dread man. Dread.[/I] Rip Chord & ??? vs. [B]Liberty & ??? [/B] [I]I rarely if ever will bet against Alchy. But the ??? aspect is what puts me over the top.[/I]

[Tigerkinney]

[B]Robert Oxford[/B] vs. Dusty Streets [I]Streets made the challenge, but Oxford will win via some form of cheating.[/I] The Demons of Rage & Fumihiro Ota vs. [B]The Blazin' Flames & Dark EAGLE[/B] [I]Flames & Eagle to win, as it will help give the Flames some momentum going into their tag title re-match[/I] [B]Romeo Hearthrob[/B] vs. Cowboy Ricky Dale for the HGC International Title [I]Despite testing positive for the Roids, I see Romeo keeping hold of the title, as this feud has more legs if the face is chasing the heel[/I] [B]Dread and Duane Stone[/B] vs. The Vessey Brothers [I]Sorry Vessey Brothers you're a good team, but Dread & Duane Stone > Vessey Brothers.[/I] Rip Chord & ??? vs. [B]Liberty & ???[/B] [I]I really don't want to back against Rip Chord, but I see Liberty's partner being Sam Strong and I'm really not sure who would team up with Chord.[/I] [I]Giant Redwood doesn't seem to be doing anything.
