Drebin huh, that name sound familiar to me. Could Drebin be teamed up with Knight and become some sort of State Patrol tag team? El Hilo de Pilgrim was spouting off about some sort of “manager” type being in his corner coming soon. Could this be Oscar? Bernard is the clear favorite in my mind and the only way I see him losing is with Pilgrim getting a fluke win with Oscar at ringside

Friday, Week 4 December, 2019

Live from the Centerpiece Bridge, SC

Golden Graduate Six Person Elimination match

Featuring:

"Killer" Carl Bernard vs El Hijo de Pilgrim vs "The Sandman" Jules Knight vs Kenneth Drebin vs "The Goth" Nancy Hollands vs Nicole Pyle

Opposite to his recent promo, El Hijo de Pilgrim comes out on his own and looks a bit baffled at the absence of his manager. Bernard also lacks Sheik Ali Al-Avatar, who was recently taken out by Annihilus and the match is off with no outside presence at all. After a fun little comedy spot with Pilgrim, simpleton Kenneth Drebin is rolled up by Pyle and becomes the first elimination of the match, with Hollands following soon after Bernard demolishes her with a spear. This earns him the attention of Knight, who attempts to "arrest" him only to get chokeslammed and eliminated himself after a short exchange. With now half the starting participants in, Pilgrim and Pyle realize they need to team up in order to take down Bernard and through a series of quick hit-and-run moves bring him down to one knee. Pilgrim charges for whatever he had in mind, but Bernard explodes back up to a standing position, sending Pilgrim up and over the ropes to the outside floor. Pyle retreats to check on him (and avoid a one on one confrontation with Bernard) and this gives the big man enough time to regroup. Once Pilgrim is back up and in the ring again, he tries his charge once more, this time getting caught into a spinebuster that leads to the pin. Pyle comes in flying from the top turnbuckle for a crossbody next, with Bernard catching her and slamming her on top of Pilgrim, scoring the final elimination to win the match.

Piledriver United States title match

w

Nate "The Great" DeMarcus vs "The Monster" Annihilus © (with Reaper)

Caught between a rock and a hard place, or in this case, two of the biggest, nastiest men on the roster, DeMarcus is in for a rough match. His athleticism is of little good against the super heavyweight champion but still he manages to pull off a decent performance and last a full ten minutes before ending up in the dreaded Choke Grip. Reaper barely needs to do anything to help his new disciple and just like that, Annihilus manages to retain.

Winner: Annihilus, via submission

Annihilus makes defence number 2 of his Piledriver United States title

Once the match is over though, Reaper gets in the ring to raise the champion's hand, then the two monsters turn their attention towards the reeling DeMarcus. Gasping for air still, DeMarcus can barely roll through to protect himself from the 2 on 1 beatdown when...

James Diaz rushes down to the ring and cleans house, forcing the heels to a retreat! Offering a hand to DeMarcus, Diaz helps him stand back up and supports him on the walk back to the locker room, as fans applaud.

Backstage, frustrated by what happened in the opening match, El Hijo de Pilgrim is in the middle of a heated discussion with his manager...

El Masked Sheik, who totally is NOT Sheik Ali Al-Avatar under a mask, he just happens to have a heavy accent that's a shady mix between Spanish and Middle Eastern. As El Masked Sheik points out, he may hail from the same place as El Hijo de Pilgrim (yep, seeing them next to each other that actually makes absolute sense) but he is not here to help him. After slapping the young competitor, he turns to the camera and explains he is here representing El Network de TV Carolinas and his job is to evaluate whether Piledriver Wrestling should be offered a broadcast deal. It will all depend on what he writes in his report and he can tell whatever... story... he likes... [heavily practiced maniacal evil laughter]

Texas Deathmatch

Loser Leaves Piledriver Wrestling

Buck Winchester vs George Wolfe

Wolfe comes out wearing a shirt that reads "Clutch Player" as a nod to having put the pressure on himself in order to perform best now that the stakes are high, while Winchester is his usual self in jeans, cowboy boots and hat. There's no two ways about it, this is going to be a nasty brawl. Wolfe has the early advantage and even slams Winchester with a couple of big suplexes, forcing the Texas native to regroup outside the ring. After a brief pause to stand confidently in the middle of the ring, Wolfe gives chase but gets caught when Winchester lures him into a charge he dodges to send Wolfe crashing onto the barricade. From that point on the cowboy is in control and he proceeds to punish his 28 year old second generation opponent, the highlight of which is delivering the Texas Backbreaker onto a folding chair he'd set up earlier. Wolfe shows tenacity and fights back as best as he can, trying to take the fight back between the ropes where he's strongest, but as soon as he goes for a big vertical suplex, his damaged back gives way and Buck hits him with another Texas Backbreaker, this time doing enough damage to keep him down for the full count.

Winner: Buck Winchester

Still breathing hard from the fight, Winchester calls for a mic and in his usual laconic style simply says that "Buck... is back!" before dropping the mic and returning to the locker room, leaving Wolfe to the realization that he was just kicked out of the company.

The Heartbreak Express

w

The Boys from the Yukon (with Lisa Bowen)

While it starts as a wrestling match, this quickly devolves into a hardcore brawl once the first ladder is introduced. Though the two big man heel teams go all out in using the ladders as weapons against each other, the Express isn't far behind and Needham especially hits a few high flying moves off the ladders, his highlight being when he stops halfway up to the belts in order to dive outside onto Bowen instead, taking out his traitorous ex manager but also giving up his chance to reclaim the titles. With Needham out after his crazy stunt and Whittaker checking on Bowen, the Good Ol' Boys team up to hit the Iowa Harvest on Mort, slamming him down onto a ladder. Liotta gets thrown over the top rope onto Whittaker outside and with the ring clear as everyone else is reeling, Wooton Fitpaine has the time to retrieve the titles for his team.

Winners: The Good Ol' Boys

The Good Ol' Boys make defence number 1 of their Piledriver Tag Team titles

w

"The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera vs Riley McManus (with Quentrel Garner)

Though not as heated or personal as Ferrera's feud with Logan Diaz, there is a long history between him and McManus since both are PDW originals and former champions way before Diaz ever claimed the top prize in the company. With Riley's protege watching from the sidelines, the two competitors deliver a straightforward wrestling match, a welcome change of pace after the spot-heavy ladder match and the Winchester-Wolfe brawl that preceded it. However, the entire thing is brought down a bit by its shady finish when...

...Jerry Lee Williams comes out to harass Garner at ringside, distracting McManus for a precious moment that allows Ferrera to take him down with a Samoan Drop and deliver the High Impact Frog Splash for the pin.

Winner: Xavi Ferrera, by pinfall following interference from Jerry Lee Williams

Piledriver Women's title match

ww

"American Woman" Lora Washington © (with Miss Atlantic Wrestling) vs Melanie Trigg (with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer)

With title victories over former champion "Poison Ivy" Mariana Torres and "Payback" Emma Bitch, Washington now looks to vanquish the final member of Sawyer Sports Services in Melanie Trigg. The challenger's sheer power and aggression makes for an explosive start, but as Washington struggles to make a comeback, it becomes apparent these two will never really gel as opponents. Miss Atlantic Wrestling and Sawyer do their best to contribute to the match and draw attention away from its shortcomings, including a part where they get into a little ringside brawl, while Washington takes a beating for over twelve minutes before she can finally hit the July 4th Jam to score the pin and retain.

Winner: Lora Washington, by pinfall

Lora Washington makes defence number 3 of her Piledriver Womens title

Miss Atlantic Wrestling gets in the ring to celebrate the victory with Lora Washington, when an aggressive guitar riff hits the speakers...

...and out comes none other than Brooke Tyler! The second generation wrestler and daughter of DaVE legend "The Traditionalist" Eric Tyler, Brooke gets a loud reaction from the fans and gets on the mic to announce her arrival, so Washington better watch out because she's coming for that title of hers...

ww

Jebediah vs Masked Patriot (with Miss Atlantic Wrestling) vs Reaper (with Annihilus)

Jebediah is the only man in the match to not have someone on his corner, Masked Patriot is by far the smaller man and Miss Atlantic Wrestling is both too small and too honorable to contribute much besides cheering him on, so Reaper looks like the favorite going into this match. Indeed, Jebediah immediatey recognized the threat Annihilus poses at ringside and quickly turns his attention that way, hitting the big man with a surprise avalanche before leaving the ring to continue his attack outside it. This leaves Patriot and Reaper with some space to fight each other before Jebediah decides to rejoin the bout. Patriot smartly retreats to a corner so he can catch his breath and let the two behemoths butt heads, which leads to Jebediah eventually superplexing Reaper and almost breaking the ring. Before the amish wrestler can finish things off with the Sunset Splash, Patriot gets back into the match though still coming head-on instead of jumping Jebediah from behind. It's a straightforward athletic contest and given what Jeb's been through so far, a pretty even one too. The recovered Reaper isn't above slamming Jebediah from behind though and the blow brings him to one knee before Reaper shifts his attention to Patriot. A charging spear is dodged and Reaper crashes onto Annihilus just as he' climbing back into the apron, leaving the field open for Patriot to apply a guillotine choke on Jebediah and after much struggle, force him to submit.

Winner: Masked Patriot, by submission

Piledriver Championship title match

ww

"Glorious" Logan Diaz © (with James Diaz) vs "Class Act" Syd Collier (with The Architect)

A match several months in the making, this one is made extra tense by the presence of James Diaz and the Architect at ringside, a reminder of the ongoing feud between the Mid Atlantic Express and basically every rookie they deem as not having paid their dues. The start of the match is pretty old school, with Collier talking trash before Diaz chops him to a corner; from there, Collier switches into cowardly heel mode, avoiding conflict until James Diaz shoves him towards his cousin for a suplex that ends in a two count. Collier complains to the ref for the interference but it's all a trick to catch the champion unaware and shoot for his legs, taking him to the mat where Collier is most comfortable. After a couple of holds, Diaz manages to power out and hit a big headbutt to create some space, but the subsequent dizzyness has him head towards the corner where the Architect is lying in wait to sneak in a few blows before raising his hands and playing innocent to the ref. Collier pounces to deliver some strikes and take down Diaz to apply the Texas Cloverleaf, but he does so too quick and being close to the ropes still, Logan manages to crawl there and force a break. Frustrated, Collier drags his opponent to the middle of the ring and tries again, but this time he gets blocked and in a slow, dramatic reversal, Diaz actually turns things around to get on top and put Collier in a Boston Crab, right in the center of the ring! Collier struggles and the Architect gets in the ring to help, but before he can break it up, James Diaz gets in the way to deny it. James and the Architect get into a shoving contest but that ends with an Asian Thumb Spike that flattens the veteran and with no other options left now, Collier finally taps out.

Winner: Logan Diaz, by submission

Rosters Accurate as of Friday, Week 1, January 2020

MEN'S ROSTER

The Monster</td>

<td>Annihilus

Age: 25 [4 years pro]

Size: Muscular Super Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Choke Grip [Thumb Spike Choke Hold]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

The giant Finnish bruiser Annihilus is a powerhouse seven-footer who came to the US from Europe in order to learn at the Piledriver School Of Wrestling (from where he graduated in 2015) and has chosen to remain in the country to find work. Very limited in his mobility, the big man has been mostly used in a tag team with George Wolfe as "The Death Squad".

Career Highlights:

COTT World Tag Team Championship

Piledriver Tag Team Championship

Piledriver United States Championship

</div>

Cowboy</td>

<td>Buck Winchester

Age: 31 [8 years pro]

Size: Light Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Texas Backbreaker [Over Shoulder Backbreaker Hold]

Swinging Neckbreaker<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Cowboy" Buck Winchester is a bar room brawler from Dallas, Texas. There's very little refinement in Buck's work; from the moment he comes out in his usual attire of jeans, cowboy boots and a stetson, you know exactly what you're going to get, and that's fisticuffs. Although his ring work is limited, what does work in his favour is that he plays his character well, and although he rarely mumbles more than a few words, his charisma makes him a popular figure. Making his pro debut in 2011, he had found his way onto the RIPW roster within a year and had a good two and a half year run with them before being released in December 2014. Buck is a member of Piledriver Wrestling's starting roster and is known for having sent off several former members of the roster in "Loser Leaves Town" matches.

Career Highlights:

2x Piledriver United States Championship

Piledriver Tag Team Championship

Killer</td>

<td>Carl Bernard

Age: 21 [2 years pro]

Size: Big Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Kill Switch [Double Underhook Powerbomb]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Killer" Carl Bernard is a Entertainer, trained at the Piledriver School Of Wrestling from where he graduated in August of 2017. A native of Maine with a menacing aura about him, he is 6'7 tall, 299lbs and a born heel, which he uses to portray a demented, bloodthirsty killer.

Career Highlights:

2019 Golden Graduate Cup

</div>

<td>Howlin' Mad Mort

Age: 33 [12 years pro]

Size: Bulky Big Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Tree-Feller [sidewalk Slam]

Tiiiiiiiiiiimber [Tag Choke Slam]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Howlin' Mad Mort is the Canadian wrestler formerly known as Yukon Eric. Spotted by NYCW owner Larry Vessey on a small-time independent show while working against Whitehorse Whittaker, both men were impressive enough to be hired. Repackaged together as a lumberjack tag team called The Boys From The Yukon, Eric became Howlin' Mad Mort, the crazy powerhouse wildman of the team.

Career Highlights:

NYCW Tag Team Championship

</div>

Return of the Monster</td>

<td>James Diaz

Age: 18 [Rookie year]

Size: Muscular Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Ray Gun [Double Underhook Piledriver]

Asian Thumb Spike [Running Thumb Spike]

Powerbomb<td></tr></table>

Overview:

James Diaz is the son of "The Monster" Raymond Diaz, one of the most famous foreign workers in PGHW history, a fact that has led to him being dubbed "The Return Of The Monster" by Japanese journalists who have seen his early matches. The 6'6, 290lb wrestler is very similar in style to the way his father was in his prime, using very unforgiving, brutal attacks, and simply battering his way through opponents with impressive tenacity, violence, and power.

Career Highlights:

None

</div>

<td>Jebediah

Age: 31 [11 years pro]

Size: Flabby Big Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Sundown Splash [Pump Splash]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Jebediah is a big brawler who works an Amish gimmick. Standing at 6'11 and weighing over 300lbs, Jebediah is not somebody you'd want to get into a fist-fight with, but what his size (and gimmick) obscures is the fact that he's actually a very good athlete who has some great high flying moves in his arsenal when he wants to use them. His five year run with RIPW has been his most notable work thus far, with his 2013 USA title win being his career highlight, before joining Piledriver Wrestling in 2018 and winning the US title shortly after.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver United States Championship

RIPW USA Championship

RIPW Tag Team Championship

<td>Jerry Lee Williams

Age: 30 [9 years pro]

Size: Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Devil's Crossroad [Falling Face Plant]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Tennessee William is a brawler who Larry Vessey discovered working the independent scene in the southern states under his real name, Jerry Lee Perkins. Liking the youngster's fire, Vessey hired him to come and work for New York City Wrestling. He debuted in July 2012, using the name Tennessee William and working a blues musician gimmick, and soon went on to form an excellent tag team with fellow southerner Animal Harker. William looks like he has a very bright future ahead of him and he also spent a year with PSW, before also joining Piledriver Wrestling as Jerry Lee Williams, a mix of the two names he usually employs and a nod to Jerry Lee Lewis.

Career Highlights:

3x NYCW Tag Team Championship

</div>

Jumpin'</td>

<td>Johnny Needham

Age: 22 [4 years pro]

Size: Lightweight

Finishing moves:

Moonsault

Heartbreak Kick [stereo Superkicks]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Jumpin' Johnny Needham is from Washington DC and was trained in the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp, graduating in 2015. He is best known as one half of The Heartbreak Express tag team alongside Ralph Liotta.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver Tag Team Championship

</div>

The Sandman</td>

<td>Jules Knight

Age: 22 [3 years pro]

Size: Muscular Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Time for Bed [Cobra Clutch Legsweep]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"The Sandman" Jules Knight is a technical wrestler from Oklahoma. He is a 2016 graduate of the Piledriver School Of Wrestling. A fine worker who has a strong grasp of technique, Knight's big weakness is that he is very bland both in the ring and in interviews. In an attempt to overcome that, he was given a corrupt policeman gimmick and put under a mask.

Career Highlights:

None

</div>

<td>Kenneth Drebin

Age: 19 [1 year pro]

Size: Lightweight

Finishing moves:

Rear Savate Kick<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Kenneth Drebin is a Regular Wrestler, trained at the Piledriver School Of Wrestling, who turned pro in April 2018. From Rhode Island, he is 5'7 and 203lbs and naturally plays the heel. He is well suited to doing comedy and uses the 'Rear Savate Kick' as his regular finisher.

Glorious</td>

<td>Logan Diaz

Age: 24 [4 years pro]

Size: Muscular Light Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Belly to Belly Suplex

Boston Crab<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Glorious" Logan Diaz is a promising young talent from Florida who is of German descent. A high school athletic stand-out, excelling in multiple sports, he is a former two-time state champion in freestyle wrestling. Turning pro in late 2015, it is clear that he possesses all the tools to be a major player if handled right; looks, skill, athleticism and drive. He also has some pedigree in the business - he is the nephew of Raymond Diaz, a legendary figure from PGHW in Japan. His uncle's name value was enough to get the interest of several companies, but it was PSW who signed him up almost immediately upon him turning pro, before quickly releasing him for Piledriver Wrestling to sign. Although his real last name is Wolfsbaine and he wrestled under it in Pittsburgh, he has since reverted to "Diaz" as a nod and tribute to his family's legacy.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver Championship

Piledriver United States Championship

</div>

<td>Masked Patriot

Age: 32 [9 years pro]

Size: Ripped Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Patriot Slam [Fireman's Carry Whiplash Slam]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

The Masked Patriot is a gimmick that has been around for decades and is reckoned by some historians to hold the distinction of not only being the longest continuously running character in wrestling, but also the gimmick to have had the most wrestlers use it. This Masked Patriot - by some accounts the twenty-first man to have donned the red, white and blue - is a youngster called Eric Lee from Boston. Patriot joined the SWF under a development deal upon turning pro and was sent to RIPW to gain experience and learn to work the "SWF style" and after a rushed run in the main roster, was released in July of 2017. Piledriver Wrestling signed him in April of 2018 and he has since been one of the company's top babyface wrestlers.

Career Highlights:

COTT World Heavyweight Championship

2019 Rip Chord Invitational winner

The Great</td>

<td>Nate DeMarcus

Age: 25 [6 years pro]

Size: Muscular Light Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Snap Tackle [Flying Shoulder Tackle]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Nate "The Great" DeMarcus is an athletic young competitor from Rhode Island who graduated from the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp to the main MAW roster in 2013. Boasting an impressive build - he is 6'5 and over 280lbs of muscle - DeMarcus certainly looks the part, and thanks to his intensive training he has solid basics too. He hasn't shown much in the way of personality yet, but that is something that may come with age.

Career Highlights:

None

</div>

<td>Oscar Tufnel

Age: 21 [2 years pro]

Size: Toned Lightweight

Finishing moves:

Disco Clothesline [Discus Clothesline]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Oscar Tufnel is a Regular Wrestler, trained at the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp, who turned pro in April 2017. A native of Wisconsin, he is 5'8 and 203lbs and naturally plays the fan-favourite. He is adept at playing comedic roles and extremely charismatic whether on the mic or in the ring. He is currently working a Disco Dancing Fool comedy gimmick, complete with his 'Disco Clothesline' finisher.

<td>Quentrel Garner

Age: 20 [1 year pro]

Size: Ripped Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Canadian Backdrop [A fast, high-altitude Flapjack]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Quentrell Garner is a promising Regular Wrestler, trained at the WWA: Canada who joined the world of pro wrestling in January 2018. Born and raised in Vancouver, he is 6'2 and 259lbs and is naturally a babyface. He is adept at playing powerful no-nonsense characters. He usually finishes opponents with the 'Canadian Backdrop' and has been portraying the on-screen protege of Riley McManus, with which he shares a similar style and attitude.

Career Highlights:

None

</div>

Whole Lotta Lovin'</td>

<td>Ralph Liotta

Age: 25 [4 years pro]

Size: Toned Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Swinging Neckbreaker

Heartbreak Kick [stereo Superkicks]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Whole Lotta Lovin'" Ralph Liotta is a rookie from Canada who came through the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp, graduating in 2015. An all-rounder, Liotta can brawl and wrestle, and has the benefit of a seemingly inexhaustable gas tank on him. Since debuting on the main MAW roster he has been used exclusively in the tag team ranks, working alongside Jumpin' Johnny Needham as The Heartbreak Express.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver Tag Team Championship

</div>

The Disciple of Darkness</td>

<td>Reaper

Age: 25 [6 years pro]

Size: Toned Big Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Two Handed Choke Bomb

Death Bomb [Over Shoulder Backbreaker Rush]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"The Disciple of Darkness" Reaper, is a 360lb all-muscle powerhouse with a memorable freakish look. Graduating from the Piledriver School Of Wrestling in 2013, the mohawked-madman likes to use his strength to crush opponents, but it is his other antics - jawing with the front row fans, turning up to fights in bizarre leather outfits, etc - that threatened to make him into the weirdest star wrestling has seen in a long time. He showed up in FCW in 2013 for his first run with a 'name' company as "The Warrior of the Wasteland" Mutant, making his debut at the final show of the year - One Night Of FREEDOM - with an impressive win over Joffy Laine in under five minutes. He has gone on to become one of the fastest rising stars in the company until his release in May of 2018. He returned to Piledriver Wrestling as the disciple of Scythe, before turning on his master to oust him from the promotion and later take Annihilus as his own acolyte.

Career Highlights:

2018 Golden Graduate Cup

FCW Tag Team Championship

</div>

<td>Riley McManus

Age: 33 [13 years pro]

Size: Toned Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Slingshot Suplex [Rope bounce-back suplex]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Riley McManus is a wrestler from Georgia. A good athlete, he broke into wrestling at the tail end of 2006 when he began working the local independent scene. He soon began to gain a repuation for being a solid technical wrestler, not the spotty high flier that so many independent workers were, and that reputation reached the ears of Rip Chord who soon invited McManus down to MAW to have a try out; clearly he did well, as in the summer of 2007 he made his full debut for the promotion. McManus lasted four years with the promotion, and undoubtedly improved as a worker over that time, but ultimately he failed to make much of a mark until Piledriver Wrestling signed him for their opening roster. He has since won the promotion's top title and is a solid member of their shows.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver Championship

</div>

Class Act</td>

<td>Syd Collier

Age: 30 [9 years pro]

Size: Muscular Middleweight

Finishing moves:

Texas Cloverleaf<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Class Act" Syd Collier is a 2010 graduate of the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp. The young Bostonian is a technical wrestler in the old school mould, a definite throwback to an earlier era. Displaying a natural grasp of psychology, Collier could end up going places if a promoter really gets behind him. He joined MAW's main roster upon turning pro, and has become a very accomplished tag team wrestler alongside Cameron Jones as "The Dynamite Express" before the team's breakup and subsequent feud that carried on from MAW to Piledriver Wrestling. After Jones' departure, Collier christened himself the defender of everything MAW used to stand for and has since formed a successful team with the Architect as "The Mid Atlantic Express".

Career Highlights:

2018 Rip Chord Invitational winner

Mid Atlantic Championship

3x MAW Tag Team Championship

</div>

<td>The Architect

Age: 27 [7 years pro]

Size: Lightweight

Finishing moves:

The Blueprint [Arm Triangle]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

The Architect Of Your Destruction, usually shortened to just The Architect, is a 2012 graduate of the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp. A technician, he likes to take his opponents to the mat and work them over with painful submission holds and stretches, a lot of which were taught to him directly by the legendary Sam Keith who oversaw a lot of his training. He will likely need to add some more exciting elements to his game before he can get anywhere, but he certainly has a good foundation for success. He joined MAW's main roster after turning pro and has made a solid start to his career. Since the promotion was bought out by Piledriver Wrestling, he's portrayed a more "purist" aspect and teamed up with fellow MAW alumni Syd Collier.

Career Highlights:

None

</div>

<td>Thimbeby Langton

Age: 35 [14 years pro]

Size: Big Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Gutwrench Flapjack

Iowa Harvest<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Thimbleby Langton is a big, hard-hitting, ultra-tough country boy from Iowa who is the regular tag team partner of Wooton Fitzpaine as The Good Ol' Boys. They had been gaining a reputation for their wild brawling ways on the local independent scene when they somehow came to the attention of Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling head booker Alex Braun. He saw their potential, commenting that they were like "an American version of the McWade brothers", and quickly signed them up. They won their first major championship, the PSW Tag Team titles, in 2008, but ultimately that was the highlight of an otherwise poor run with the company and they left quietly in late 2010. They joined Piledriver Wrestling in 2019 to provide some veteran experience and depth to the tag team division in light of the upcoming Sam Keith Classic, which they won before also winning the Piledriver Tag Team titles.

Career Highlights:

2019 Sam Keith Classic winner

Piledriver Tag Team Championship

PSW Tag Team Championship

<td>Whitehorse Whittaker

Age: 32 [11 years pro]

Size: Obese Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Canadian Stun Gun [strong Gut Buster]

Tiiiiiiiiiiimber [Tag Choke Slam]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Whitehorse Whittaker is a burly Canadian brawler who spent his entire career working the low-level independent scene up north prior to being signed by NYCW in early 2012. In a strange twist of fate, Whittaker would be teamed up with Howlin' Mad Mort to form a new tag team, The Boys From The Yukon - Mort was the wrestler formerly known as Yukon Eric, against whom Whittaker had been competing when Vessey first saw him. Whittaker was released from NYCW in May of 2019 but soon resurfaced in Piledriver Wrestling alongside long time partner Howlin' Mad Mort.

Career Highlights:

NYCW Tri-State Regional Championship

NYCW Tag Team Championship

</div>

<td>Wooton Fitzpaine

Age: 35 [14 years pro]

Size: Big Heavyweight

Finishing moves:

Running Big Boot

Iowa Harvest<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Wooton Fitzpaine is one half of The Good Ol' Boys alongside Thimbleby Langton, a viciously physical tag team from Iowa. The two big fist-fighters came to the attention of Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling booker Alex Braun in 2007 and he quickly brought them into the company, seeing their wild brawling ways as something that would appeal to the hostile Tri-State crowds. Although they started their mainstream careers brightly, winning the PSW Tag Team titles toward the end of 2008, The Good Ol' Boys faded fairly quickly when it became clear that they simply weren't that good in the ring nor entertaining enough to cover that fact. They quietly left the promotion in late 2010 and joined Piledriver Wrestling in 2019 to provide some veteran experience and depth to the tag team division in light of the upcoming Sam Keith Classic, which they won before also winning the Piledriver Tag Team titles.

The Athlete</td>

<td>Xavi Ferrera

Age: 25 [5 years pro]

Size: Muscular Middleweight

Finishing moves:

High Impact Frog Splash

Ferrerarana [Headscissor Takedown]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Xavi Ferrera is a talented youngster from Puerto Rico whose family were originally from Portugal. A track star at college where he was a nationally ranked hurdler, he is a top class athlete who can effortlessly master physical tasks that take some people years. Trained by Thom "Guide" Barrowman, his style is a blend of raw athleticism and fine technique, and even at a very young age he already seems blessed with an instinctive ability to modify his style to bring out the best in opponents. After spending a few months on the independent scene his obvious potential was enough to convince PSW to sign him onto their roster but didn't last long. Piledriver Wrestling signed him together with fellow PSW alumni Logan Diaz and they two have had an ongoing rivalry since as they attempt to prove who's better.

Career Highlights:

2x Piledriver Championship

Piledriver United States Championship

WOMEN's ROSTER

The Second Generation Superstar</td>

<td>Brooke Tyler

Age: 26 [6 years pro]

Size: Toned Lightweight

Finishing moves:

Brooke Breaker [Full Nelson Clutch]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"The Franchise" Brooke Tyler is the daughter of Eric Tyler, the DAVE legend. Trained by her father, Brooke has impeccable pedigree and even at a young age already has magnificent technical skills. Matching that technique with her natural speed and athleticism has resulted in a dangerous fighter, one who specialises in the setting up and executing of painful submission moves. In particular she is noted for her deadly Brooke Breaker, a full nelson applied while sitting on the opponent's lower back. She got her first big break when she joined NOTBPW in August 2013 and quickly got over on the back of some excellent technical matches with Amber Allen, but was released in March of 2019 before resurfacing at Piledriver Wrestling's final show of that year.

Career Highlights:

2x NOTBPW Women's Championship

</div>

Ice Cold</td>

<td>Claire Winters

Age: 26 [5 years pro]

Size: Toned Small

Finishing moves:

Flying Knee Strike

Heel Kick<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Ice Cold" Claire Winters is a young women's wrestler who is just beginning her career. Her good looks are deceptive, as you'd never guess that she has a strong fighting background, particularly in kick boxing. She uses those skills in her in-ring style, attacking with a variety of strong kicks and punches. It is also reflected in her usual attire, as she wears MMA-style gloves and ring gear. This all helps her stand out from the crowd, and could be beneficial to her career in the long run.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver Women's Championship

</div>

Payback</td>

<td>Emma Bitch

Age: 33 [15 years pro]

Size: Lightweight

Finishing moves:

The Payback [Falling Face Plant]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"Payback" Emma Bitch is a vicious brawler from Toronto who is noted for her aggressive in-ring nature. She was originally trained in the NOTBPW youth system, particularly by Victoria Stone, and she made the transition to the main roster in 2006 at the age of 20. By 2008 she was women's champion of the promotion, but a failed drug test saw her bounced from NOTBPW in January 2009 and sidelined for an entire decade before Piledriver Wrestling signed her in 2019.

Career Highlights:

NOTBPW Women's Championship

</div>

Strong Style</td>

<td>Eri Sato

Age: 28 [8 years pro]

Size: Toned Lightweight

Finishing moves:

Buzzsaw Kick<td></tr></table>

Overview:

Eri Sato is a young Japanese wrestler who is particularly noted for her aggressive kick-based attacks. She has been trained extensively in many martial arts, and that is clear in her performances as her strikes are clearly those of a trained fighter rather than an untrained grappler. In particular, the move she has dubbed The Sato Tornado, a wicked spin kick to an opponent trapped in the corner, shows off her flawless technique, speed, and agility.

Career Highlights:

None

</div>

American Woman</td>

<td>Lora Washington

Age: 33 [13 years pro]

Size: Lightweight

Finishing moves:

July 4th Jam [seated Face Plant]<td></tr></table>

Overview:

"American Woman" Lora Washington is a Florida wrestler who was trained by AAA but never made it to the full roster. Surprisingly she eventually turned up on the BSC roster, using the gimmicky name "Miss American Pie", as part of the promotion's attempt to add more actual wrestling to their shows. She managed to teach some of the girls some decent skills, but ultimately it was a futile attempt as the promotion went out of business in November 2012. Her efforts had got her noticed by USPW however, and she joined them a few months later, again as Miss American Pie, and has been a solid member of the roster ever since until her release in 2019. Unphased, Washington moved to Piledriver Wrestling and debuted with a big title win over "Poison Ivy" Mariana Torres.

Career Highlights:

Piledriver Women's Championship

Age: 31 [12 years pro]

Size: Skinny Small

Finishing moves:

Overview:

Mariana Torres is a Mexican luchadora who is noted for her slick chain wrestling abilities. She was one of the founding members of CILL's women's division under a mask as Poison Ivy, appearing on their very first show in January 2011, and has become one of the key members of the roster until her release while on maternity leave. Bitter and looking to prove she never lost a beat, Torres signed with Piledriver Wrestling, appearing under her real name and without her mask under the guidance of "Playboy" Jake Sawyer.

Miss Atlantic Wrestling is a character played by Rosemary Dooey of Wyoming. As a Tecnician and protege of Sam Keith who's trained at the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp and turned pro in June 2018, her character is a patriotic one whose background, name and style tap into that MAW nostalgia.

Much like the COTT Women's title was made to showcase the female talent of not just OLLIE and Piledriver Wrestling but also AAA and QAW, the COTT Junior Heavyweight championship seeks to shine a spotlight on the smaller, faster but equally talented workers that fill the roster of member promotions such as CZCW, 4C and OLLIE. The decision has been made to crown the inaugural champion in the upcoming War for Territory event, the main event of which will feature Piledriver Wrestling's The Architect competing against CZCW's Jackpot Jordan over the belt. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="y23bc3D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/y23bc3D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> With the Rip Chord Invitational XV scheduled for the end of January, Piledriver Wrestling officials have decided to put participation up for grabs at their upcoming War for Territory event.

Riley McManus & Quentrel Garner vs Jerry Lee Williams & Xavi Ferrera

Members of the winning team will both participate in the Rip Chord Invitational XV</div>

Following the actions of Jerry Lee Williams at Night of the Champions, he is teamed up with Xavi Ferrera for this opening tag match against McManus and Garner with tickets to the Rip Chord Invitational XV on the line. Unike the clean cut, non-nonesense babyfaces, the heel team of Williams and Ferrera were not on the same page that night and they certainly aren't on this night, their egos clashing as bad as their wrestling styles. Still, a stroke of luck allows Williams to hit the Devil's Crossroad on Garner out of nowhere and score the pin, the result leaving a somewhat foul mouth on fans and losers alike.

The Diaz cousins and Nate DeMarcus are backstage, cutting a promo about their upcoming match. Logan Diaz says he'll be seconding the other two, while James and DeMarcus focus on paying back Annihilus and Reaper for their antics at Night of the Champions.

Annihilus & Reaper

Members of the winning team will both participate in the Rip Chord Invitational XV</div>

Probably a case of too many moving parts in this match and one of the glaring issues is seeing Logan on the corner of James. Whether because James is the bigger of two or because he's Ray's closer relative, the combination is somewhat off-putting. That and a cringe-worthy shoulder breaker from Fitzpaine that seems to take DeMarcus out of the match for good are bad news for the babyface team, but at least they're not the first ones eliminated. Instead, Reaper sees a chance and attacks the "celebrating" Fitzpaine to take him out and score the pin. This basically makes it a 2 on 1 situation and James Diaz is now the one all alone against two monsters. Though maimed, DeMarcus still does his part and lures Reaper into roughing him up, which in turn allows Diaz to catch Annihilus in a guillotine choke and get the submission for the win.

Backstage, Brooke Tyler is preparing for her upcoming match when "Playboy" Jake Sawyer walks in and tries to sell himself to her as the manager of champions in order to get her to join Sawyer Sports Services.

"The Second Generation Star" Brooke Tyler vs Eri "Strong Style" Sato (with "Ice Cold" Claire Winters)</div>

For all her martial arts background, Sato has an underappreciated technical game and being in the ring with Brooke Tyler helps her highlight that aspect of her wrestling. Though featuring the occasional stiff strike to spice things up, the match is mostly a technical bout and Sato seems to be outclassed by both Tyler's skill and her own shortcomings. Winters has to jump in for the save more than once to the point where she risks disqualification, but once Sato ends up in the Brooke Breaker in the middle of the ring, the tap follows soon after and she's left to argue/blame Winters while Tyler has her hand raised.

COTT Junior Heavyweight title match

Jackpot Jordan (CZCW) vs The Architect (with "Class Act" Syd Collier)</div>

Not seen in Piledriver Wrestling for almost a full year since he lost to Xavi Ferrera in the opening round of the Rip Chord Invitational XIV, Jackpot Jordan returns to wrestle a title match in the main event this time. His opponent is The Architect and he uses every ounce of his mat magic to keep Jordan grounded, denying him most of his offence while working the arm to set up his Blueprint finisher. To make matters worse for Jordan, Collier is at ringside and every time he tries to get some offense going, if the Architect doesn't manage to shut it down fast, Collier is there for the assist. What the two of them did not account for though is that focusing on the arm still means Jordan can move around and kick pretty well, as evidenced by a surprize enzuguiri that takes out Collier, before Jordan finally hits an offensive sequence on the Architect that ends with the Cash In [Leaping Neckbreaker] and the pin to make him the inaugural COTT Junior Heavyweight champion.

<div style="text-align:center;">Winner: Jackpot Jordan, by pinfall

Given his close relationship with Chord, it surprised nobody when he became a regular on the MAW roster toward the end of 2007. He became a major part of the promotion, particularly as part of the great tag team C-V-2 which he formed with Cameron Vessey. After a successful five year run with MAW Casey signed with USPW where he was quickly aligned with his uncle Peter for a short while before Peter retired. Casey continued to work for USPW until the tail end of 2019, when his contract was not renewed and former partner Cameron Vessey secured him a deal with his father's NYCW.

He debuted in 2004 and was quick to learn how to incorporate his excellent martial arts skills into his ring work. By the end of 2006, feeling he now had the experience to express himself fully, he reinvented himself; dying his hair white and displaying several prominent (fake) tattoos, he began calling himself the "White Angel", and carrying himself as an ultra-serious and honourable fighter. Just a few months later he was signed by 4C.

Debuting in 2011, he quickly impressed people on the independent circuit with his power, poise, and general aura - very few people who saw him didn't come away with the impression that he was a potential major star in the making. SOTBPW clearly went along with that opinion as they signed him up in 2015 but apparently lost faith, releasing him in mid-2018. After a brief stint with Quema de las Libelulas until the promotion's bankruptcy in 2019, he signed with EMLL and OLLIE, which he will be representing in this year's tournament.

He made his debut for the promotion in 2007; originally nothing more than a glorified jobber, his performances soon proved to management that he was ready for something more and by the end of the year he was working regularly alongside fellow rookie "Hollywood" Jake Idol as the tag team Rich And Famous. Since then, the team has been paying its dues and slowly working its way up the rankings, impressing many with the improvements they both have shown, and are now pretty well established as one of the best teams in the company, though Jordan recently proved he can also blaze a path as a singles competitor when he became the first ever COTT Junior Heavyweight champion.

The 6'6, 290lb wrestler is very similar in style to the way his father was in his prime, using very unforgiving, brutal attacks, and simply battering his way through opponents with impressive tenacity, violence, and power. Despite his young age and inexperience, Diaz has proven himself to be a capable competitor and did so again when he and Nate DeMarcus won a three way tag elimination match to qualify for the tournament.

Liking the youngster's fire, Vessey hired him to come and work for New York City Wrestling. He debuted in July 2012, using the name Tennessee William and working a blues musician gimmick, and soon went on to form an excellent tag team with fellow southerner Animal Harker. William looks like he has a very bright future ahead of him and he also spent a year with PSW, before also joining Piledriver Wrestling as Jerry Lee Williams, a mix of the two names he usually employs and a nod to Jerry Lee Lewis.

This Masked Patriot - by some accounts the twenty-first man to have donned the red, white and blue - is a youngster called Eric Lee from Boston. Patriot joined the SWF under a development deal upon turning pro and was sent to RIPW to gain experience and learn to work the "SWF style" and after a rushed run in the main roster, was released in July of 2017. Piledriver Wrestling signed him in April of 2018 and he has since been one of the company's top babyface wrestlers, including his 2019 Rip Chord Invitational victory that makes him this year's defending champion.

A track star at college where he was a nationally ranked hurdler, he is a top class athlete who can effortlessly master physical tasks that take some people years. Trained by Thom "Guide" Barrowman, his style is a blend of raw athleticism and fine technique, and even at a very young age he already seems blessed with an instinctive ability to modify his style to bring out the best in opponents. After spending a few months on the independent scene his obvious potential was enough to convince PSW to sign him onto their roster but didn't last long. Piledriver Wrestling signed him together with fellow PSW alumni Logan Diaz and they two have had an ongoing rivalry since as they attempt to prove who's better.

Piledriver Wrestling presents:

The Rip Chord Invitational XV

Saturday, Week 4 January, 2020

Live from the Centerpiece Bridge, SC

Main Event

Tournament final

Masked Patriot vs Casey Valentine

This should be a great match up between two premier talents -- the only reason I'm not calling this to be better than Valentine/Diaz is the fatigue. With Patriot having won the 2019 RCI and Valentine having won it in 2010, I think here Valentine scores a victory over Patriot in what will be the end of perhaps the best RCI in history.

Semi-main Event

Patriot Power (Lora Washington & Miss Atlantic Wrestling) vs Brooke Tyler & ??

I don't know who the ??? is, but I imagine there will be a tainted finish.

Tournament Semifinal

Valentine vs Ferrera

This should be a barn burner right here. If this match happens, I'm calling this as MOTN/MOTT.

Tournament Semifinal

Patriot vs Dee

This should be a good match up.

Special Women's Tag match

Kick City Connection (Winters & Sato) vs Sawyer Sports Services (Bitch & Trigg)

Tournament Quarterfinal

Jackpot Jordan vs Xavi Ferrera

Despite Jordan having just won the newly minted COTT World Junior Heavyweight Championship, I think that he's going to do a tainted job.

Tournament Quarterfinal

Itzamna vs Frankie Dee

Very interesting match up here with two guys who aren't PDW guys at all. Since discovering Itzamna, I've been very interested him; however I think there is more life in Frankie Dee.

Tournament Quarterfinal

Masked Patriot vs Jerry Lee Williams

Tournament Quarterfinal

Casey Valentine vs James Diaz

Why did you do this to me, DR? Casey Valentine against a Diaz. How could you make me have to pick such a thing.

Representing NYCW, "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine, son of Peter Valentine and trained by Rip Chord himself, the former 2 time USPW Television champion is back with a point to prove, hoping a repeat win will re-launch his career like winning the 2010 Invitational did. Representing 4C, their recently 4 time champion and former COTT World Heavyweight champion, Frankie Dee, who Piledriver fans remember thanks to his clashes with Scythe over the COTT title. "The Mighty Mayan" Itzamna will represent OLLIE, though he's also making appearances for EMLL and is a former SOTBPW standout prospect. Much like Valentine, he has a chance to prove his former big league employers wrong to let him go. Finally, for CZCW, the recently crowned COTT Junior Heavyweight champion Jackpot Jordan, hot off winning the title and looking to fare better than he did last year, when he was eliminated in the first round of the tournament. The four representatives for Piledriver Wrestling will be hotshot rookie James Diaz, veteran Jerry Lee Williams who'll be especially interesting to see if he ends up against the representative of his former NYCW employers, the decorated champion and last year's winner Masked Patriot and finally, two time Piledriver champion but never Rip Chord Invitational winner, Xavi Ferrera. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Quarterfinals match <img alt="LOGkgwU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LOGkgwU.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="oSBICFE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oSBICFE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Cool Hand" Casey Valentive vs "Return of the Monster" James Diaz</div> The fifteenth ever Rip Chord Invitational kicks off with a great contest between two extremely talented second generation competitors and seeing them go is magical: Valentine and Diaz feel like they were meant to fight each other and it isn't long before a "fight forever" chant is heard, even if the match itself is pretty short at just under ten minutes, with the 12 year veteran Valentine exploiting the inexperience of Diaz to hit him with a Deep Impact and score the pin. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: "Cool Hand" Casey Valentive, by pinfall <img alt="IqChfad.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IqChfad.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Quarterfinals match <img alt="FHUEpiU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FHUEpiU.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="INrQQdr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/INrQQdr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Masked Patriot vs Jerry Lee Williams</div> Masked Patriot has a history of facing monsters much bigger than him in Piledriver Wrestling, wrestlers like Scythe and Reaper, so being up against a man more or less his size frees him up to perform a lot more moves from his arsenal. On the opposite side, the rugged brawling of Williams and smug way he can get under people's skins to garner heat help draw fans into the match and in support of Patriot, who finally picks up the win after narrowly escaping the Devil's Crossroad to hit his own Patriot Slam finisher for the pin. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: Masked Patriot <img alt="IqChfad.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IqChfad.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Quarterfinals match <img alt="2PRxgqp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2PRxgqp.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="yJa1QGX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yJa1QGX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "The Mighty Mayan" Itzamna vs "White Angel" Frankie Dee</div> The only quarterfinals match to not involve any Piledriver Wrestling talent, this still keeps fans alive thanks to them being familiar with Dee as well as Itzamna's impressive ring gear. Despite his Aztec look and lucha mask, Itzamna never leaves his feet for any high flying moves, instead he's an old school rudo, keeping the match slow as he works over his opponent with big blows and punishing slams. However, Frankie Dee is not the kind of smaller opponent Itzamna is used to bullying around and he responds in kind with stiff martial arts strikes that make this a pretty physical match. Things look pretty even as the two men go back and forth but Itzamna ends up advancing and in true villain fashion, he does so by putting a foot on the ropes for extra leverage to keep his opponent down for the count. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: "The Mighty Mayan" Itzamna, by pinfall while illegally using the ropes for leverage <img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Quarterfinals match <img alt="M3JEwrW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M3JEwrW.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="uN4bdE9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uN4bdE9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "High Roller" Jackpot Jordan vs "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera</div> The first round of matches wraps up with a rematch from last year's opening round, where Ferrera knocked Jordan out of the tournament. This time Jordan is out for vengeance and he's also hot off his victory over the Architect two weeks ago for the COTT Junior Heavyweight title. Of course, Ferrera is no junior and that poses a different kind of challenge, but Jordan looks hellbent on revenge, something he finally gets when he rolls through a Ferrerarana to catch his opponent in a small package. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: Jackpot Jordan, by pinfall with a small package <img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.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" /><img alt="MzjfHKV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MzjfHKV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Backstage, James Diaz is removing the tape from his wrists when Logan walks up to him and congratulates him. James says there's nothing to congratulate him about as he lost his opening round match, but Logan puts things in perspective for him by reminding him he's barely a full year pro wrestler; even being in the Invitational is a huge success and he should consider it an honor. James nods after Logan's done with his pep talk and the two cousins share a hug. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="n1i1cZU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/n1i1cZU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><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="NuLYzbD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NuLYzbD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="uwfOQSm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uwfOQSm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />w<img alt="aMXABmX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aMXABmX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Kick City Connection (Winters & Sato) vs Sawyer Sports Services (Bitch & Trigg, with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer)</div> For all their natural understanding of each other in the ring, Winters and Sato seem to have a significant amount of tension between them that's been escalating with each appearance, to the point where it hinders their performance in this match against two of Sawyer's clients. Though not as fluid a team, Bitch and Trigg are every bit as rough, rugged and hard hitting as their opponents, making this a smashmouth contest that ends with Bitch knocking Winters off the apron before she catches Sato with the Payback for the pin. <div style="text-align:center;">Winners: Sawyer Sports Services, by pinfall <img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="n1i1cZU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/n1i1cZU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="8sEkkAa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8sEkkAa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> With the winners gone, Winters climbs back into the ring as Sato is getting on her feet again. The tension between the two teammates seems to be reaching a climax as they argue over who's to blame for the loss until Sato finally snaps when she hits Winters with a Buzzsaw Kick! Winters stumbles back and collapses onto a turnbuckle, but that only sets her up for the Sato Tornado, leaving her broken in the ring as Sato yells at her before leaving the ring herself. <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" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Semifinals match <img alt="FHUEpiU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FHUEpiU.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="2PRxgqp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2PRxgqp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Masked Patriot vs "The Mighty Mayan" Itzamna</div> This is the kind of setup Patriot thrives in, facing bullies and brutes. On top of that, Itzamna is roughly equal in size and power while fans don't take long before they fly into ye goode olde "U-S-A!" chant. Yet again, Itzamna proves that the hype surrounding his name is very real by delivering another great performance in the same night, but he's ultimately doomed to fall victim to a Patriot Slam that sends last year's winner to the finals in hopes of a back to back win. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: Masked Patriot, by pinfall <img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Semifinals match <img alt="LOGkgwU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LOGkgwU.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="M3JEwrW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M3JEwrW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine vs "High Roller" Jackpot Jordan</div> A big moment for both men as Valentine is a step closer to repeating his 2010 Invitational win while Jordan looks to main event another Piledriver Wrestling show after War for Territory #25 two weeks ago where he won the COTT Junior Heavyweight title. On top of that, the winner of this goes on to face last year's winner in Masked Patriot, so the stakes are high and the drama adds to the match between two already great competitors. True to his monicker and the CZCW style, Jordan goes high risk from pretty early in the match and keeps things exciting with his daredevil moves while Valentine shows a more well-rounded style that keeps things from turning into a spotfest. It's this calculating, well paced approach that eventually allows Valentine to use Jordan's risky style against him and dodge a big moonsault only to kip up and catch his opponent with a Deep Impact for the pin. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine, by pinfall <img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="h9A0Crp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h9A0Crp.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="gG04bRj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gG04bRj.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" /> "American Woman" Lora Washington & Miss Atlantic Wrestling vs "The Second Generation Star" Brooke Tyler & "The Goth" Nancy Hollands</div> Hollands is revealed as Tyler's teammate and as the announcing duo points out, this most likely has to do with the Second Generation Star turning down Sawyer's offer two weeks ago: Hollands was the only one available who isn't a member of Sawyer Sports Services. This of course translates into the match as well, with Patriot Power working well together while Tyler and Hollands are nothing greater than the sum of their invididual parts. The discord becomes even more apparent as the match goes on and Tyler looks disinterested, up to the point where she refuses a tag and leaves Hollands on her own to end up in the Kentucky Fried Chickenwing. <div style="text-align:center;">Winners: Patriot Power, by submission <img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> <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;"><img alt="LOGkgwU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LOGkgwU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Ten years ago, I stood in this very ring. Back then, people referred to me through others. I was the son of Peter Valentine. The protege of Rip Chord. The parter of Cameron Vessey. All big names in this industry, casting long shadows and great expectations on me. Ten years ago, I became my own man when I won three matches in one night to win the 2010 Rip Chord Invitational. I moved on to the big leagues and proved myself again, winning the USPW Television title twice, but there was one thing that still wouldn't leave me and that was my last name. You see, I always wanted to prove myself in the ring, forge my own legacy without the taint of backstage politics. What I wouldn't do, others did and got ahead of me in the game. So I left, retraced my steps and here I am again, ten years later. I'm more experienced, better prepared and I've already won two of my matches. Masked Patriot, you are a great competitor and last year's winner, but this year, you stand in my way." <img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="QlFf6Za.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QlFf6Za.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rip Chord Invitational XV Final match <img alt="LOGkgwU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LOGkgwU.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" /> "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine vs Masked Patriot</div> By this point, everyone's familiar with the background story of the main event: Valentine's career and 2010 win on one hand, a decorated defending champion on the other. Also, two extremely talented, charismatic and popular workers, so much that neither looks like they've already fought two matches earlier in the night. Instead, they deliver an instant classic and by far Piledriver Wrestling's best match to date, a potent mix of technical prowess, physicality, drama, in-ring psychology and masterful crowd manipulation, a fitting finish to the best Rip Chord Invitational to date. By the time things climax to big sequences, false finishes and kick outs around the 15th minute mark, it not only feels like either man could win, but also that no matter who wins, both men's stock has risen after this classic. Patriot kicks out of a Deep Impact, then moments after Valentine gets a shoulder up before three after he's hit with a Patriot Slam. It takes a modified version of the Deep Impact, an elevated execution off the second rope, to finally put Patriot away for the three and Valentine joins "Mainstream" James Hernandez, Findlay O'Farraday and long time teammate Cameron Vessey in the books as a two time winner of the most prestigious tournament in the U.S. independent circuit. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine, by pinfall <img alt="At6zmyr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/At6zmyr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Show Rating: <img alt="IqChfad.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IqChfad.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div>

Holt is a legendary figure in the independent scene of the United States, mainly known for his L.A. based dojo that provided CZCW, OLLIE and his own RPW promotion with talented high flyers. We all thank him for his contributions and are certain he shall be fondly remembered. - In the aftermath of California's Grimm SoCal Wrestling going out of business, Piledriver Wrestling has offered two of the now-defunct promotion's top wrestlers an opportunity. Hard hitters Cali Slick and Hustle Muvva will be facing each other at War for Territory #26 in an I Quit match, the winner of which will be receiving a contract with Piledriver Wrestling. <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;">War for Territory #26 Saturday, Week 2 February, 2020 Live from the Centerpiece Bridge, SC Main Event COTT Women's title match "The Iron Lady" Jillian Jarvis © vs "American Woman" Lora Washington Semi-main event Fatal Four Way match to determine the #1 contender for the Piledriver Championship Jebediah vs Jerry Lee Williams vs Riley McManus vs Syd Collier I Quit match for a Piledriver Wrestling contract Cali Slick vs Hustle Muvva Grudge Tag Team match Double Diaz vs Annihilus & Reaper Opening Six Man Tag match Buck Winchester & The Boys from the Yukon vs Oscar Tufnel & The Heartbreak Express</div></div></blockquote>
