Time: 2.33 am

Press Conference

Press : So Another win and you have managed to get yourself of the bottom by beating your best friend Ben Stanton, how does it feel

Ian Carlisle: London, england, one of the best cities in the world and the place where as a 12 year old I sat down and saw Rip Chord and Sam strong wrestle and I was inspired.

Press: Are you worried that you may have Stopped Ben from making the playoffs

Ian: No, becuase he will make the playoffs

Press: So did you see the end of the show

Ian: Well, I was buying a Hotdog and it was over, like that , but what did I expect, the league once again pulling all the strings needed to pull to secure phoneix the league title, well let me just say , that if the championship match is Phoneix versus Trimuph , then the final will suck , but not as much as Scott Stevens, I mean you lost To FRANKIE , I mean dude , i lost some embrassing matches in my life, but you lost to a Commentator, I mean i knew you did not want to put the title on the line against me , but that is ridclous even for you.

Press: What is your stance on Social Media

Ian: Facebook not Twitter

ShadowedFlames · March 29, 2012

I have to admit...just wondering what that reaction to the Frankie becoming LPW champ spot would be made the six weeks of waiting worth it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Also, my plan was to run the match, and if Thor won, then to manually play the match, and make sure that spot happened. I didn't even have to resort to it, though; it's like the game knew what I had in mind. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I'm just proud that my "throw manager at opponent" move actually saw the light of day <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Likely gonna need a rename on that one after this season though; cashflow hasn't been enough to maintain a manager going forward. Got some options there, though.

Like he said though, that was first proposed what, six weeks ago? In that time, there are still at least three trademark moves that haven't happened once. Some from the beginning of the season, even. Sigh.

I know. I have one submission that has only come once and another that hasn't appeared yet either.

masterded · March 30, 2012

I would like to apologies for my absence most of this season. I use to do all my stuff for this on the weekend then work blocked GDS. Now I just get so easily distracted at home that I always forget. This being Triumph's best season ever with me only ever sending in one training pm this season is quite nice though.

I think Zeel won season one without sending a single PM in all season long?

ShadowedFlames · March 30, 2012

I think Zeel won season one without sending a single PM in all season long?

Between him and British Warrior, who he beat in the championship match that season, I received a total of one PM from the pair of them. I think Zeel sent in something early, like week 3 or something, but I'll have to consult my notes at home on the computer to be sure.

So...due to work keeping me busy all day (inventory), furniture assembly upon coming home, and Mafia/errands after that, I have no commentary written for the show as of yet. Will get started on it shortly. Hope to have show up tonight before I go to sleep.

Just FYI.

Season Five, Week Seventeen

THE LEAGUE: SEASON FIVE, WEEK SEVENTEEN

There is no wasted time this week, as the title sequence proceeds immediately to the ring for the first match of the night.

ALPHA DIVISION: Jack Lightning (6-10, 1%) vs. Pizza Mask III (7-9, 15%)

Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" hits the speakers as the first Canadian to enter The League emerges from the back, looking surprisingly at ease as he steps onto the ring apron and leaps over the top rope. Climbing onto the turnbuckles, he raises an arm in the air and drinks in the cheers of the crowd before dropping back to the mat and preparing for his match.

Amelia Williams: Our opening contest of the week is an Alpha Division contest scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from London, Ontario, weighing 233 pounds...Jack Lightning!

Bob Sinclair: Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's edition of The League! Bob Sinclair and Tori Montgomery at ringside, with Frankie Garnett hiding in Thor's locker room in fear of his life, and tonight could determine the second participant in this season's championship match!

Tori Montgomery: First, though, we have a match that is of importance to those in the playoff hunt, as Pizza Mask tries to solidify his chances at his first postseason appearance!

The theme to Samurai Pizza Cats plays as a van painted red with the words "Pizza Wagon" on the side comes down to ringside. Emerging from the van, the former backyard wrestler is seen in his trademark Pizza Hut uniform and new tights that resemble a cheese pizza on the left side, and a shot of PM3 bashing the Noid in the face with a chair. Reaching into the van to pull out a Pain Pizza, he hands it off to one lucky fan at ringside before hopping over the top rope and entering the ring to the cheers of the fans in attendance.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Your Friendly Neighborhood Pizzeria, weighing 199 pounds...Pizza Mask III!

Tori Montgomery: PM3 has been tweeting all sorts of cryptic things, saying this week that he will "bring an end to himself in the City of Lights." The heck is he talking about, Bob?

Bob Sinclair: I don’t know, Tori, and I am afraid to ask.

1!

2!

This Could Be It!

The referee's hand starts coming down...

3!

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of four minutes and fifty seconds...Pizza Mask III!

Tori Montgomery: Folks, I am at a loss here. Apropos of nothing, Pizza Mask has unmasked himself, and stands triumphant as he continues to aim for the playoffs!

Bob Sinclair: For those of you out of sight of your televisions, PM3 has this calm, almost wise look on his face. Light brown hair, maybe shoulder length, and...he almost reminds me of someone.

Tori Montgomery: Looks to me like an Evil Universe Jay Chord or something.

Bob Sinclair: You might be on to something there....

ALPHA DIVISION
CLINCHED PLAYOFF SPOT
1. The Phoenix (12-4, 1.750 AMR)
2. Maxx Skabb (10-6, 3.188 AMR)
3. Diamond (10-6, 3.125 AMR)
4. Nuclear Templeton (10-6, 2.375 AMR)

CURRENTLY IN PLAYOFFS
5. Pizza Mask III (8-9, 2.706 AMR)

IN THE HUNT
6. Eidenhoek Gaiaspade (7-9, 3.750 AMR)
7. Thor Hammerskald (7-9, 3.063 AMR)
8. Sebastian Moore (6-10, 3.438 AMR)

ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFFS
9. Jack Lightning (6-11, 3.471 AMR)
10. Scott Stevens (5-11, 3.375 AMR)

With PM3's win, Stevens and Lightning are officially knocked out of the playoffs. For the time being, PM3 sits in the final playoff spot, but with Thor and Gaius yet to wrestle tonight, a lot of uncertainty remains surrounding that coveted #5 spot.

ALPHA DIVISION: Maxx Skabb (10-6, 16%) vs. Scott Stevens (5-11, 12%)

The lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen, "Nothing survives my sting!" The crowd starts booing as Dave Mustaine's voice echoes throughout the arena, "I am the Scorpion, whoa!" The jeering intensifies as a mash-up of "I Stand Alone" and "Amazing" hits the speakers, drawing out the reigning Legacy Pro Wrestling champion. Walking down the aisle, he talks trash the entire way while raising a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers. As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares down the aisleway, an icy glare and the throat slash gesture his only actions as he drops to the mat.

Amelia Williams: This is an Alpha Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Houston, Texas, weighing 256 pounds...The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting, The Venomous One and Only, and the reigning Legacy Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion... he is "The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!

Bob Sinclair: Stevens comes in tonight without his LPW title, with it being taken by Frankie Garnett last week.

Tori Montgomery: Bob, we both might not care too much for Frankie, but let's not lie to the people. Thor Hammerskald was behind this act, as he took the belt from ringside and gave it to a half-unconscious Frankie as they left ringside last week.

Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare" blares throughout the arena as spotlights begin to pan over the audience, as if looking for someone. A dim red light shines on the entryway, revealing a hulking figure making his way to ringside, with two more men hiding just at the fringes of the spotlight, their eyes never leaving the form of the big man. As the refrain hits, the spotlights immediately focus on him as white strobe lights flash on the entrance stage. He slides under the bottom rope, his orange jumpsuit a stark contrast to most of the clothing in the audience as the song fades into silence.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 289 pounds...Maxx Skabb!

Tori Montgomery: Maxx has locked in a playoff spot, but could put pressure on the division leader tonight with a win.

Bob Sinclair: I also hear that the Board of Directors is watching this match closely, Tori. I've gotten word that they may be on the verge of suspending Maxx Skabb for both the playoffs and next season if he goes off the deep end again.

Tori Montgomery: I'm surprised it took them this long....

The referee's hand starts coming down...

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of fourteen and a half minutes...Maxx Skabb!

Bob Sinclair: Skabb moves to a match and a loss behind Phoenix for the Alpha Division lead, and your client has the pressure turned up again, Tori.

Tori Montgomery: He works best under pressure, Bob. The result will be the same, no matter what.

As the referee lowers Skabb's arm, the ex-con snarls at the official, forcing him to flee out of the ring. Skabb turns to the fallen Stevens, a sinister grin crossing his face as he closes in, looking perhaps to turn Scorpion's face into ground beef...but stops at the last minute, as if a stray thought of sanity has kicked in. Instead of the beatdown, Skabb simply spits on the fallen body of his foe, and storms out of the ring, talking animatedly to himself as he heads into the locker room.

Bob Sinclair: I think Skabb just saved himself from suspension there....

ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFFS
9. Jack Lightning (6-11, 3.471 AMR)
10. Scott Stevens (5-12, 3.471 AMR)

Skabb's win will ensure that two people end the week at 11 wins in the Alpha Division, meaning that should Phoenix lose, there will be a three-way race for the division title heading into the final week of the season. Stevens, who had nothing to fight for since being knocked out of the playoffs in the last match, finds himself still at the bottom of the standings heading into the regular season finale next week.

OMEGA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH: Rannulf von Krüshengberg (7-9, 16%) vs. Tarik Nolan (6-10, 13%)

"Regulate" hits the speakers, immediately drawing the ire of the crowd as a large figure stands in the entryway, backlit by a clear spotlight. Pyro explodes on the stage, causing the light to shut off as the figure finally emerges onto the stage proper. Laughing at the boos hurled in his direction, he takes his time walking to the ring and subsequently entering it for his next match.

Amelia Williams: This bout, scheduled for one fall in the Omega Division, is a hardcore rules match! Introducing first, from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan!

Tori Montgomery: Nolan's playoff hopes hinge on this match, Bob. A loss and he's out of it!

Bob Sinclair: If that's not motivation, I do not know what is.

The opening to Rammstein's "Mein Teil" hits the speakers as the largest member of The League emerges, causing everyone with something that could even remotely be considered food to get away from the entranceway as quickly as possible for fear of losing their food...and at least a body part or two.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from der Schwarzwald, Deutschland, weighing 421 pounds..."Der Panzer" Rannulf von Krüshengberg!

Bob Sinclair: Rannulf isn't in desperate need of a win, but could use one regardless to give himself a chance at a non-losing season.

Tori Montgomery: More than likely, Rannulf wants to play spoiler, and cost Tarik a shot at the playoffs. We'll find out right now!

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of ten minutes and forty seconds... Rannulf von Krüshengberg!

Bob Sinclair: Rannulf is a win away from avoiding a losing season, and he keeps his playoff hopes alive!

Tori Montgomery: Sadly, that loss does it for Nolan; there's no way he can recover enough to make the playoffs unless we suddenly expanded the field, Bob. His inconsistency has cost him yet again this season.

With the win, Rannulf gives himself a shot at sneaking in. A Sean win later makes it a three-way run for that spot. Also with Rannulf's win, Stanton has to assume that he must win to clinch a playoff spot.

On the flip side, the loss officially eliminates Nolan from playoff contention for the season.

OMEGA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (10-6, 13%) vs. Dante Lorenzo (5-11, 16%)

Three Days Grace's "Riot" hits the speakers to a chorus of jeers as the first Italian-born member of The League emerges from the back, ignoring the crowd in the arena as he mentally prepares for his upcoming match. Reaching the ring, he climbs up the steps and enters between the ropes, his face never losing a look of confident indifference.

Amelia Williams: This is an Omega Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Florence, Italy, weighing 291 pounds...Dante Lorenzo!

Bob Sinclair: Dante was knocked out of the playoffs last week, and tonight looks to mar the momentum of the reigning champion.

Tori Montgomery: I'm not sure how much good that will do, Bob, but at this point anything would be a boost to his morale after a dismal showing this season.

The opening riffs of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" hits the speakers, drawing a mixed reaction from the crowd as last season's champion emerges from the stage, bathed in a blue light shining beneath him. After pausing to mentally prepare himself, he walks to the ring, belt slung over his right shoulder and his eyes never leaving the squared circle as he climbs onto the apron and ducks between the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds, he is the reigning and defending League Champion...Robbie Maynard!

Bob Sinclair: Maynard will be unable to defend his League Championship, but can still make an impressive showing in the tournament in a few weeks.

Tori Montgomery: He won the title in a tournament, Bob, so I'm expecting great things from him regardless of being unable to repeat as champion.

In a match that was largely pointless, Maynard improves his chances at advancing in the playoffs with a win that, for the moment, makes him the top Omega Division seed and thus has the right to face whomever finishes fifth in the Alpha Division in the opening round.

Lorenzo, already eliminated from the playoffs, once again takes up residence at the bottom of the divisional rankings.

OMEGA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (13-3, 17%) vs. Benjamin T. Stanton, Jr. (9-7, 14%)

"Here Comes the Money" hits the speakers, as one of this season's surprises emerges from the back, with a beautiful woman hanging off his left arm. He pays no attention to the jeering fans, his attitude simply screaming "I'm better than you."

Amelia Williams: This Omega Division bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Missy Callistra, from Providence, Rhode Island, weighing 224 pounds...Benjamin T. Stanton, Jr.!

Bob Sinclair: Stanton has a lot riding on this contest, Tori. A win and he's assured a playoff spot!

Tori Montgomery: He may make it regardless, Bob. I'm not certain yet, but there's still a chance he can backdoor his way in.

A remixed version of "Ecstasy of Gold" hits the speakers, which is nearly drowned out in jeers as he emerges from the entryway. Instead of taking the steps closest to him, he walks around to the opposite side of the ring, drawing in more jeers as he finally climbs the steps and enters the ring.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds, he is the Omega Division Champion...Johnny Triumph!

Bob Sinclair: So what's stopping Triumph from pulling a Stevens and laying down for an opponent?

Tori Montgomery: Pride. Pride and momentum, Bob. He does not want to enter the championship match on a losing streak.

No changes in the standings after this one, though Stanton is unable to lock in a playoff berth with this match. He still has the advantage as of this moment, though a Century win looks to all but erase that edge heading into next week's finale.

For Triumph, this was simply a chance to show everyone that he means business and looks to take away the League Championship.

OMEGA DIVISION: Ian Carlisle (5-11, 15%) vs. Super Century (8-8, 16%)

Linkin Park's "What I've Done" blares through the arena as one of the League's youngest members steps into the arena. A moment later, he sprints towards the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope and heading to a corner to appeal to the fans.

Amelia Williams: This Omega Division contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Blackpool, England, weighing 222 pounds...Ian Carlisle!

Bob Sinclair: Despite a few surprises, Carlisle has been unable to secure a playoff berth, and looks to ruin Century's chances tonight.

Tori Montgomery: I wouldn't put it past the guy, either. Stranger things have happened, Bob.

Without warning, all of the lights go off in the arena, casting everything into pitch blackness. A few seconds pass before a spotlight shines on one of the turnbuckles, revealing no one there. This is repeated with all four corners, each revealing no one there. Finally, one last spotlight shines down onto the middle of the ring, which reveals the caped form of The League's resident superhero, who stands with arms folded and staring intently into the audience.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century!

Bob Sinclair: So, how will this work, Tori?

Tori Montgomery: Well, let's let the matches play out, Bob. Right now, a win means that next week's match between Century and Stanton has huge implications!

Tori Montgomery: That was certainly not the result Ben Stanton wanted to see!

Century's win makes for an interesting dynamic next week, as he and Stanton have their rematch. The winner of that bout is guaranteed at least the #4 spot, and the loser has to hope that Rannulf loses his match to avoid a tie-breaker scenario coming into play...and that's not taking into account the fact that Sean may still be in this thing after his match, which comes up next!

OMEGA DIVISION: Master Imoka (10-6, 14%) vs. Sean (7-9, 21%)

Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart" hits the arena speakers as a spotlight shines down on the top of the ramp. Emerging from the back, the former League Champion walks out as he throws a hand into the air, causing pyro to erupt from behind him in a manner of paparazzi photographing him. With a smirk, the champ heads to the ring, the spotlight remaining on him the whole time.

Amelia Williams: This contest is an Omega Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, now residing in Los Angeles, California, weighing 230 pounds..."Hollywood" Sean!

Bob Sinclair: Sean needs a win, and needs it badly, Tori.

Tori Montgomery: (muttering) That...might not make a difference, Bob. If my numbers are correct...

Bob Sinclair: What do you mean?

Tori Montgomery: I'll let you know after the match. I want to be sure first.

"You're the Best" blasts from the arena speakers as The League's lone Samoan emerges from the back, staring a hole through the ring as if by doing so, he can change it to his preferred medium of a martial arts mat. As he gets to ringside, he quickly lashes out and kicks the top half of the steel steps off the bottom half, snarling as he slides into the ring and stands motionless, waiting for the bell to sound.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the Isle of Samoa, weighing 214 pounds...Master Imoka!

Bob Sinclair: Imoka is in the playoffs, though a win would push him into a tie with Maynard for the top seed in the division.

Tori Montgomery: Both men have a lot to fight for; we'll see who wants it more as there's the bell to get us underway!

The final standings heading into Week Eighteen will be seen at the end of this post.

ALPHA DIVISION FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Nuclear Templeton (10-6, 18%) vs. Diamond (10-6, 19%)

Billy Idol's "Shock to the System" hits the speakers, bringing the crowd to their feet in ovation as one of the League's more recognizable faces emerges from backstage and across the green-tinted stage. As he hits the end of the entrance ramp, he throws his arms into the air, sending a pair of mushroom clouds into the air from the stage as he makes his way to the ring and through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: This contest is a First Blood match in the Alpha Division! Introducing first, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds, he is one-half of the reigning Tag Team Turmoil Champions...Nuclear Templeton!

Bob Sinclair: This should be a good one, Tori. There's bad blood between Diamond and both of the reigning TTT champs since she claims they never beat her and Skabb for the belts.

Tori Montgomery: No, instead they beat the team that beat them, so in the end it all works out.

"Don't Cha" hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

Bob Sinclair: Winner of this one ties Skabb at 11-6 and can threaten for the division title if Phoenix loses tonight!

Tori Montgomery: That's contingent on Phoenix actually losing, Bob.

With the win, Diamond makes things interesting, forcing Phoenix into a must-win scenario. If Phoenix loses in the main event, it becomes a three-way dash to the division championship between Phoenix, Diamond, and Skabb. Nuclear can no longer win the division title after the loss tonight, and is relegated to the tournament for his playoff appearance.

ALPHA DIVISION: Eidenhoek Gaiaspade (7-9, 20%) vs. Thor Hammerskald (7-9, 18%)

Amon Amarth's "Death in Fire" hits the speakers, to a decent ovation he emerges from backstage, looking every bit the part of a Viking warrior as he strides to the ring with a determined look on his face...and scattering some of the fans away from the entrance ramp as he turns to glare at them. Behind him, his manager/League color commentator can be seen looking positively nervous as he walks to ringside, limply holding a gold title belt..

Amelia Williams: This bout is an Alpha Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Frank—

At this, Thor leans over to Amelia and whispers something in her ear. Amelia steps back, looking inquisitively at Thor before cowering at his glare and resuming her interrupted introduction.

Amelia Williams: —being accompanied to the ring by the reigning Legacy Pro Wrestling heavyweight champion, Frankie Garnett, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald!

Tori Montgomery: Oh, man, I don't think Frankie wanted to hear that.

Bob Sinclair: Given that Thor's had him under guard for most of the past week, I think Frankie wants as little to do with that title belt as possible, Tori....

Disturbed's "Indestructible" hits the arena as one of this season's rookies emerges from the back, looking surprisingly at ease despite the hard beat of the song. Jumping onto the apron from the floor, he steps between the ropes and calmly waits for the bell to get the match underway.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the Island of Tria, weighing 205 pounds...Eidenhoek Gaiaspade!

Bob Sinclair: This has been a banner season for Gaius, and another win would be nothing short of huge for the youngster.

Tori Montgomery: You know he has to be feeling nervous, though he's doing a good job of hiding it on his face.

Thor's win catapults him into the #5 spot over PM3 by way of AMR tie-breaker. As both men at 8-9 have wrestled twice this season, the door is still theoretically open for Moore (as of right now, anyway) to sneak into the playoffs at 8-10.

*As Eidenhoek would lose a combined head-to-head tiebreaker against both Thor and PM3, he is officially eliminated from playoff contention.

ALPHA DIVISION: The Phoenix (12-4, 19%) vs. Sebastian Moore (6-10, 26%)

It is to Muse's "Assassin" that he emerges, an arrogant smirk crossing his face as he soaks in the jeers of the crowd. Looking up at the spotlight for a moment, his smirk seems to get even bigger as he walks down the ramp, ignoring the catcalls of the crowd as he ascends the steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and steps through the ropes, looking more at ease than the casual fan may think.

Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our main event of the evening, scheduled for one fall in the Alpha Division and could determine the Alpha Division championship! Introducing first, from Manchester, England, weighing 237 pounds...Sebastian Moore!

Bob Sinclair: With Gaius all but eliminated, how does Moore stand a chance of making the postseason?

Tori Montgomery: I'm not sure he can, in all honesty. I think Thor and PM3 have too much on him. But if you'll excuse me....

Within Temptation's "Stand My Ground" hits the arena speakers as a League Original emerges from the back, through a wall of flame pyro. His face gives no emotions away as he walks to the ring, shadowboxing as he stops at the ring steps. A moment later, he slams both fists into the top step before looking up the heavens with a cry of "For the Fallen" coming from his lips. With no further ado, he steps between the ropes, ready to go to war once again. At ringside, Tori drops her headset to the table and walks towards his corner, taking the spot his estranged wife should be manning as he nods in recognition to her.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, joined at ringside by Tori Montgomery, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds, he is one-half of the reigning Tag Team Turmoil champions and the current Alpha Division leader...this is The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: Remember, folks, it's simple. A win, and Phoenix is the division champion!

ALPHA DIVISION

CLINCHED PLAYOFF SPOT

1. The Phoenix (12-5, 1.882 AMR)

2. Maxx Skabb (11-6, 3.294 AMR)

3. Diamond (11-6, 3.529 AMR)

4. Nuclear Templeton (10-7, 2.824 AMR)

CURRENTLY IN PLAYOFFS

5. Thor Hammerskald (8-9, 3.176 AMR)

IN THE HUNT

6. Pizza Mask III (8-9, 2.706 AMR)

ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFFS

7. Eidenhoek Gaiaspade (7-10, 3.824 AMR)

8. Sebastian Moore (7-10, 3.471 AMR)

9. Jack Lightning (6-11, 3.471 AMR)

10. Scott Stevens (5-12, 3.471 AMR)

Week Eighteen will be huge for the Alpha Division. Three wrestlers in contention for the division title and the right to face Johnny Triumph in the championship, and two other wrestlers fighting for the #5 spot and the final berth in the playoffs. Despite the win, Sebastian Moore would lose combined head-to-head tiebreakers against PM3 and Thor, and so cannot advance to the playoffs even in a best case scenario.

With one week left in the regular season, here are your clinch scenarios:

ALPHA DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

The Phoenix: Clinches with a win vs. Thor Hammerskald.

Maxx Skabb: Clinches with win vs. Jack Lightning AND Phoenix loss to Thor.

Diamond: Clinches with win vs. Sebastian Moore AND Phoenix loss AND Skabb loss.

ALPHA DIVISION #5 SPOT

Thor Hammerskald: Clinches with win vs. Phoenix AND match rating is C- or better.

Pizza Mask III: Clinches with win vs. Nuclear Templeton AND Thor loss OR Thor win with AMR 8 grades below PM3's win.

OMEGA DIVISION

CLINCHED DIVISION TITLE

1. Johnny Triumph (14-3, 4.059 AMR)

CLINCHED PLAYOFF SPOT

2. Robbie Maynard (11-6, 4.059 AMR)

3. Master Imoka (10-7, 4.235 AMR)

4. Super Century (9-8, 6.235 AMR)

5. Benjamin T. Stanton, Jr. (9-8, 6.118 AMR)

ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFFS

6. Sean (8-9, 4.529 AMR)

7. Rannulf von Krüshengberg (8-9, 3.588 AMR)

8. Tarik Nolan (6-11, 4.118 AMR)

9. Ian Carlisle (5-12, 5.588 AMR)

10. Dante Lorenzo (5-12, 4.765 AMR)

Yes, I know that it appears that Sean and Rannulf can still get into the playoffs. Sadly, tiebreakers eliminate those possibilities. I'll explain below.

WINNER OF SUPER CENTURY/BEN STANTON CLINCHES AT LEAST #4 PLAYOFF SPOT

If Century wins the above match: Ben Stanton clinches #5 spot as he holds 2-0 head-to-head records against both Rannulf and Sean this season, and so would win the first tiebreaker outright.

If Stanton wins the above match: All potential 9-9 wrestlers have split the season series with each other, thus eliminating the head-to-head tiebreaker. Tiebreaker would go to AMR, which Century has the advantage. Sean cannot catch Century, and Rannulf is behind Sean in AMR, as you'll see below:

Worst Potential AMR for Century: 5.889 (F rating next week)

Best Potential AMR for Sean: 4.833 (A+ rating next week)

Best Potential AMR for Rannulf: 3.944 (A+ rating next week)

As such, Century would clinch the final playoff spot in the division based off of superior AMR. Sadly for Sean and Rannulf, their playoff dreams are dashed so close to season's end.

@PizzaMaskIII- For now I should be known as Pizza Mask III, for he has only been destroyed twice. #IIIFoldDeath #RuleOfIII

@PizzaMaskIII- When I am out of the season, either by the Viking winning out over me, or in the playoffs thereafter, the final end shall come. #IIIFoldDeath #RuleOfIII

@PizzaMaskIII- The Constellations are nearly aligned for my rebirth. And in the sixth season, the IIIrd season of my time in this league, I shall conquer. #RuleOfIII

@PizzaMaskIII- Why is this rebirth necessary for conquest? Because it is the result of following #OccamsRazor.

@PizzaMaskIII- From the beginning I've been treated like a joke, an afterthrought. Forgotten, like #ChekovsGun. Those who have done so will pay dearly. Ask @Frankiebeatsthespread if you do not believe. #RuleOfIII

@PizzaMaskIII- And in the end, all things end in III. #RuleOfIII

Going from memory, but shouldn't Diamond vs Nuclear have been match of the night? I might be wrong but I thought match length was the second criteria and Nukes/Diamond had that in our batch of A+ matches.

Also... DAMN YOU DIAMOND!!
