This card has a lot of tough ones to call and we're only two months out from Where it all begins again!Can't wait for that supercard!

MAW The Battle of The Mid Atlantic 2020

Deuce Deadline and Duke Freeman vs The Greatness

I rarely like picking thrown together teams and even though the tension in The Greatness is inriguing, I think that storyline might be on the slow burn a while longer. Poor old Deuce, he really doens't have much going for him

Jaylon Martins vs Joey Fili vs The Architect w/Jonah Pilgrim

Architect is far and away the best worker in this match. I could maybe see some outside interference stopping him from winning, but neither Jaylon or Joe is enough of a threat for me to pick against the main eventer

Ho Tinh and Kyle Diamond vs Jacobs & Nelson

In my opinion, this is the hardest match to call on the card. I like JJ as Ho Tinh's first big feud and though I don't think either of those two is taking the pin, a tag match means either could conceivably lose. Going for the young guns to win, only because Nelson is the one I can most easily picture getting pinned.

DeMarcus & Gray vs Copperhead and Trix Triumph

Nice and simple. Tag champs retain comfortably. Bonus prediction from me of a post match attack from The Wolf Pack

Chris Caulfield vs Guillotine

If this was a standard match, I might go for the veteran, but a retirement match should see the older guy go out on his back. Enjoying this mini push for Guillotine too so I'm going for him to continue his momentum

Cheetah Boy vs Miller Fforde

Another tough one to call, but I think Cheetah Boy will get the win, maybe to build to getting another crack at Blaze's title

Bonus Prediction: What will be the rating on the worst match of the night?:

Deadline & Freeman vs The Greatness - 29

Deuce Deadline and Duke Freeman vs The Greatness

The named team gets the win

Jaylon Martins vs Joey Fili vs The Architect w/Jonah Pilgrim

I'm assuming The Architect isn't done with the title scene for right now

Ho Tinh and Kyle Diamond vs Jacobs & Nelson

Josh is secretly hecka good and I don't really know Tinh and Diamond yet

DeMarcus & Gray vs Copperhead and Trix Triumph

They're a more experienced unit

Chris Caulfield vs Guillotine

Bit of a guess but I'm assuming Chris is willing to put the guy over

Cheetah Boy vs Miller Fforde

Total guess

Sco xY2Jx · May 24, 2020

Deuce Deadline and Duke Freeman vs The Greatness

Deadline and Duke seem to flounder but with good reason.

Jaylon Martins vs Joey Fili vs The Architect w/Jonah Pilgrim

The Architect is far and above both of these guys.

Ho Tinh and Kyle Diamond vs Jacobs & Nelson

You seem to be pushing Tinh so Nelson eats the pinfall here.

DeMarcus & Gray vs Copperhead and Trix Triumph

Don't know if you're building towards a split but they're better than Copperhead and Trix.

Chris Caulfield vs Guillotine

It's a farewell tour he's on so I'm guessing he's here for more than one match. Guillotine isn't ready yet.

Cheetah Boy vs Miller Fforde

Miller pushing for a title shot perhaps?

Rating for the worst match? 26.

There are very few moments in life that really, truly matter. Lisa Bowen understood that well. She was well aware of the futility of life. Of how little of it she controlled, and the extend to which she was at the mercy of others. Her father, Barry Bowen, was owed a favour, so she got a job in Mid Atlantic Wrestling. Days lead to weeks, lead to months where a person has no real say in their circumstances. On a warm night in August, Lisa Bowen reclaimed a little bit of her narrative.

The two had been friends for years, insofar as two people who never interacted outside of a work function could be friends. They saw each other, several times a month every month for seven years. Always on the periphery of the other’s vision, but never the centre of attention. Never close. So, it was much to her surprise when Nate texted her one night to see how she was. It was a surreal experience, Nate was an handsome man, a gifted athlete and was in the prime of his life having just turned 26-years-old. But he made the first move.

Lisa sent screenshots of every message to her best friend Kelly-Anne Stuart. She wanted – needed – a second opinion on every reply she sent to Nate. She hadn’t dated since she broke off her engagement to her fiancé in 2018. She was rusty, but she remembered the game. The careful dance performed by people in order to reveal those parts of themselves deemed lovable, while hiding those other parts. Those dark pieces of yourself that comes attached to the good stuff. Two sides of the same coin.

Lisa knew Nate well enough to know the game wasn’t even in his mind. He had probably never thought about it once in his life. Lisa would never consider him a stupid man, but he was a quiet man, who kept to himself and didn’t concern himself with the socio-cultural implications of his every interaction. At least Lisa hoped that was the case, and she hadn’t psychoanalysed the man accidentally. She needed to work on that desperately, getting to know people rather than observing them and deciding who they were. “I’m really observant and see the little things in people”, she says rather than “I make a psychosexual model of any potential boyfriend.”

Although she didn’t do it much outside of planning for matches and segments, Nate was easy to talk to. He never seemed interested in anything other than wrestling, in a good way. He dedicated all of his attention to the task at hand. And when Lisa checked the time and realised she had absentmindedly been texting until three o’clock in the morning, she decided to make an unauthorised move, an aggressive turn that she knew would see her scolded when Kelly-Anne woke up and heard what she had done. She held her breath and took her shot.

“Hey, do you want to grab a drink some time?”

Tag Team Match

• Deuce Deadline appeared to do much of the heavy lifting in this match as Duke Freeman and The Greatness seemed unwilling to put hands on each other to start.

• The mutual respect between the three soon dissolved however as Harvey Robbinfield shouted “You’ll never be as good as me” at Freeman from across the ring.

• Freeman tagged himself in which led to his team’s downfall as the beating Deadline had taken early in the match left Freeman to be picked apart by The Greatness until he was locked in Seth Whitehead’s Minnesota Stretch.

• In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Greatness defeated Deuce Deadline and Duke Freeman in 7:47 when Seth Whitehead submitted Duke Freeman with a Minnesota Stretch.

Rating: 32

Following the opening match, after Deuce Deadline had left his partner in the ring following their loss, Seth Whitehead and Harvey Robbinfield helped Duke Freeman to his feet and the trio shook hands before heading to the back together.

• The Architect challenged both TCW graduates to this match on Twitter, after claiming that he could beat any one of them with one hand behind his back.

• After delivering some comeuppance to Architect and Jonah Pilgrim, the realisation that they were competing with each other dawned on Jaylon Martins and Joey Fili.

• The TCW graduates teed off on each other, hitting many high impact moves in a strong showcase of their abilities while The Architect collected himself outside the ring.

• After Martins had dropped Fili, The Architect slid in behind him, smacked him in the back of the head with a big boot and then locked in The Blueprint in the middle of the ring.

• In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Architect defeated Joey Fili and Jaylon Martins in 10:30 when The Architect submitted Jaylon Martins with a Blueprint.

• The Architect carried the match in terms of in-ring performance.

The Past Masters came out to the staging area for an interview with DeAnna Desire, before she gets to ask her first question, The Historian stole the microphone from her hand to speak his mind.

“We did not lose last month!” he began, “I’ll hand it to you, we got a little overconfident, and it cost us the match, but we didn’t lose. No, no it was the fans who really lost.”

DeAnna Desire managed to wrestle the microphone from his hand and asked “Care to explain how you came to that conclusion?” She asked.

“Gladly miss Desire. Simon Ice denied these fans the opportunity to watch us in the final of the Sam Keith Classic. He denied them the opportunity to see a real tag team match. Instead Simon Ice made these paying fans sit through that abomination of a handicap match in the tournament finals. Simon Ice took advantage of the fact we had wrestled a match twice as long as his first round match, and next month I will personally prove his win was nothing but a fluke!”

With that The Past Masters stomped away from the stage leaving Desire alone and perplexed.

• Kyle Diamond was all smiles as he came down to the ring to make his in-ring debut alongside the enigmatic “Nine-Tailed Fox”.

• Ho Tinh stood on the apron from the opening bell and each time Diamond reached to tag him in Ho Tinh did not reciprocate, but he entered the ring illegally several times to intimidate Josh Jacobs.

• Ade Nelson took a cup of beer from a fan in the front row and threw it over Ho Tinh. Ho Tinh jumped down off the ring apron to attack Nelson, which allowed Josh Jacobs to nail Diamond with the Canadian Backdrop.

• In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Jacobs & Nelson defeated Ho Tinh and Kyle Diamond in 6:04 when Josh Jacobs pinned Kyle Diamond with a Canadian Backdrop.

Rating: 27

Following their match, Kyle Diamond offered a handshake to Ho Tinh, reminiscent of what happened following the first match on the show. Ho Tinh looked down at the hand, then back into the face of Diamond before the lights went out. When they came back on Ho Tinh had disappeared, leaving Diamond alone in the ring.

• The thrown together tandem of Copperhead and Trix Triumph were each looking to build some momentum going into Where It All Begins Again against the tag team champions.

• The duo took it to DeMarcus & Gray and worked hard to show their worth, and had a clear affinity as a team. The worked over Tyrone Gray after taking control, cutting off the ring and hitting some good double team offence.

• Gray fought out of the corner and made the hot tag to Nate DeMarcus who ran wild on his opponents, clobbering both with stiff forearms and a series of belly-to-belly suplexes, including throwing Copperhead clear over the top rope.

• The match was as good as over from that point on, with Tyrone Gray re-joining the match and helping DeMarcus hit the Rocket Launcher for the pin.

• In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, DeMarcus & Gray defeated Copperhead and Trix Triumph in 10:18 when Nate DeMarcus pinned Trix Triumph with a Rocket Launcher.

Chris Caulfield Retirement Match

Singles Match

30-Minute Time Limit

• Guillotine came out for what has been dubbed as Chris Caulfield’s retirement match wearing a DAVE t-shirt. When he stood across from “The Hardcore American” he pointed at the DAVE logo on the shirt and said “It’s dead, just like your career”.

• This fired up Caulfield who went right for his bigger opponent from the opening bell and the two quickly found themselves brawling on the outside.

• The referee threatened to disqualify Caulfield as he grabbed a chair from ringside, Caulfield grinned at him and said “What? You’re going to DQ me in my retirement match?” To this the referee threw his hands up and allowed Caulfield one chair shot on the big man.

• Unfortunately for him the brief distraction was enough for Guillotine to get his wits about him, and he booted the chair right into Caulfield’s face. The big man then threw Caulfield into the ringside barricade and booted him again in the face.

• Caulfield fought back into the match once more when Guillotine rolled him back into the ring, but he quickly found himself on the receiving end of a chokeslam and finally the big man’s Sideswipe Knee, to bring the match and his career to an end.

• In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Guillotine defeated Chris Caulfield in 7:50 by pinfall with a Sideswipe Knee.

Rating: 47

Following the match, rather than leaving and allowing Chris Caulfield the chance to say goodbye to the fans, Guillotine continued his assault on “The Hardcore American”. He threw Caulfield out of the ring, into the steps and chokeslammed him over the barricade and onto the front row of fans.

• Miller Fforde coming off his grudge match win with Josh Jacobs looked to insert himself into the title picture here with a win over the crafty veteran Cheetah Boy.

• This match was worked at a slow, methodical pace, with each man finding innovative ways of countering the other. Cheetah Boy reversed an arm wringer via a rope-assisted somersault while Fforde escaped a headscissors on the canvas through a handstand.

• Things picked up after a half dozen minutes and the match fell into a nice groove and benefitted greatly from a hot crowd after the brawl between Guillotine and Caulfield, and Miller Fforde received more support than usual from a crowd that were desperate for a good guy to win.

• Both men fell at one point after hitting each other with simultaneous superkicks, and neither rose to their feet until the referee reached a count of 9.

• With 10 seconds remaining in the match, Fforde nailed Cheetah Boy with the Fforde Flip Face Crusher, however he was unable to make the cover due to exhaustion and the match went to a time limit draw.

• In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Cheetah Boy drew with Miller Fforde in 20:00 when the time limit expired.

Sam Keith came out and thanked everybody for attending the show, and then announced that the main event of Where It All Begins Again will be Bradley Blaze vs Frankie-Boy Fernandes vs Cheetah Boy vs The Architect for the Mid Atlantic Championship.

Show Rating: 46

A/N: So some housekeeping, I was tempted to scrap the point for the bonus prediction this month, as it obviously wasn't clear what I was asking for since a few people answered with the wrong type of answer, a wording mistake on my behalf, but enough people made a good guess that I felt it would be unfair to not give the point. So this month the bonus doesn't effect the total predictions you could have gotten, as it has in previous months, so congratulations to Sco xY2Jx who was only one point off getting the rating for the worst match!

That means for this month our winner was 1PWfan with a score of 5/6, only missing the main event, as everybody did. Never bet on a draw, but both guys needed to look strong in this one. We then had lieon02, Kjarvs, Sco xY2Jx, Herrbear and Hitman74 scoring 4/6 and last but not least, the winner of our last half-year contest, Historian with a 3/6 score.

That means for this half-year (Counting only people who have predicted on at least 2 shows) Kjarvs and lieon02 sit on top of the pile with 62.5% correct predictions.

Expect MAW The Clash card some time tomorrow afternoon/evening GMT and thank you all for your support on the diary!

The Rough

In a video posted to the Mid Atlantic Wrestling twitter account, the camera fades in to reveal Kyle Diamond sitting in front of John Hopkins University. It is a bright day, but a light breeze carried autumn leaves across the background of the video.

“Hi there, Baltimore.” Diamond began. “We haven’t spoken much, you and me. You’re probably wondering what I’m all about. Where I come from, what I stand for. That sort of thing. Well, there’s a reason I’m here at John Hopkins University. That was a man who didn’t give up. Didn’t give in and fought for what he believed in. No doubt if you’re watching this you saw me lose my first ever match in Mid Atlantic Wrestling, Josh Jacobs was the better man and he got me. Do I wish Ho Tinh was there to help me out when I needed it? Sure, I am, but I know he had his own problems. He’s a good guy really.”

Diamond stood and began to jog, the camera following him through the streets of Baltimore while he continued to speak. “I won’t be at The Clash. I have some business to attend to, but don’t worry everyone I’ll be back and better than ever at Where It All Begins Again, and I’m laying down an open challenge right now to anybody out there who thinks they have what it takes to take me down at my best. Anybody in the Confederation can accept and I’ll beat them.”

The video ends as Diamond reaches his apartment block and goes in, fading to black as he enters the building.

I don't think you'd continue to promote the 4 way if one of those guys was leaving, so it's got to be one half of one of your tag teams for me. Could be any of the 4 of them, but I'm going for DeMarcus as the best performer and the longest tenured

<div style="text-align:center;">TopRopeElbow.com Quarterly Report: Q3 2020</div>

USPW made a few extra additions to their roster as Marc DuBois signed from CWA, and in a fairly shocking turn of events Edward Cornell, cousin on the legendary Tommy Cornell has signed with USPW and will be plying his trade in the Unites States for the foreseeable future. However in bad news for the promotion, they have found themselves slide down the Global Company Rankings and are now ranked at being Medium Size, following in the footsteps of the struggling SWF. In on screen news, Nicky Champion has once again won the USPW World title, and the massive Gods of Thunder (Titan & Atlas) have won the USPW World Tag Team titles.

No high-profile incoming workers to SWF this quarter as both James Prudence and Brandon James have found themselves unemployed following contract expiry. On top of that 7 people have graduated from SWF’s wrestling school and will be plying their trade in RIPW for the next year at least. And finally, SWF have begun airing a new ‘A’ level show SWF Breakdown which will likely lead to either a brand split or an influx of wrestlers between now and the end of the year.

It may be a bad time to be a fan of Total Championship Wrestling as the company has found itself totally stagnant this quarter with no incoming or outgoing wrestlers and no title changes as the company continues to thread water in this harsh climate for the wrestling industry.

Down in Mexico the only newcomer to EILL is Spanish Superfly while two stars left in the form of Campeon Jr. and Pharaoh King. Three of the companies changed hands this quarter as Magnifico won the Campeonato de México EILL title, Dutch Wilkes won the Campeonato del Mundo EILL title, and El Leon, Xtinction and Huracán Sandoval Jr. won the Campeonatos de Tríos EILL titles.

Canadian giants CWA may soon find themselves out of business as serious financial trouble has plagued the company for the entirety of 2020. The joint Stone-DeColt venture is currently over one million dollars in debt and the sharks are said to be circling as the ship of dreams does indeed appear to be sinking. The on-screen product remains strong however, with a handful of title changes taking place this month including Rivera winning the CWA Television title, Lauren Easter winning the CWA Women’s title, and The Montral Mafia (Marc Raisin & Dermott Ayres) winning the CWA World Tag Team titles.

For the third quarter in a row we are reporting a plethora of signings from Japanese giants BHOTWG who seem hell bent on killing any semblance of independent wrestling in the country which still has not fully recovered from the tsunami of 2016. Solar II, Blade Kimiyama, Tsuneyo and Toshimichi Tsurimi all signed from EX2010. They are joined by Akio, Ken Shimedzu, SATO, Findlay O’Farraday, Kokey Shoda, Avalanche Takano, Tosuke Narita and Haranobu Kobayashi. These signings were accompanied by a handful of older roster members being let go as Ninja Shunji, Optimus and Nissho Yuasa were allowed to leave the company. To top off a very strong corner from the promotion BHOTWG have also risen up the Global Company Rankings and now sit at Big size rather than their previous classification of Medium. In kayfabe news, Emerald Angel won Best of the Super Juniors, Munemitsu Senmatsu won the BHOTWG Japan title, Reijro Hiraki and Masakazu Kaima won the BHOTWG Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles, and Yasunobu Masuno won the BHOTWG World Championship,

In contrast to BHOTWG, Pride Glory have had a relatively quiet quarter as Doppo Ibu left the company after his contract expired, and Kazushige Matsuki won the PGHW Glory Crown title.

21CW continue their domination of the British and European wrestling scene with a handful of releases in the form of Grave Digger, Edison Silva and Colin Chalke. Meanwhile they have only made one signing this quarter, that being Leo Price. Otherwise the only news worth reporting is the fact that Absolutely Flawless (Kelly & Lance Martin) won the 21st Century Tag Team titles.

No new signings for the Australian powerhouse that is RAW while Brodie Lachlan and Manhunter now find themselves unemployed. Two titles changed hands as Nicky Gilbert won the RAW Quest title, and Maurice Jackson won the RAW Television title

In Confederation news Matt Sparrow won the newly minted COTT Junior Heavyweight title, while Pinky Perez won the COTT Women’s title, and the COTT Trios title remains vacant. Perhaps the Confederation were overeager in establishing a title with no real ideas on how to book it.

In other news, the industry said goodbye to Chief Two Eagles, El Águila Americana and Harley Principal. Principal’s death has been seen as particularly tragic as they were gunned down in the crossfire of a SWAT team.

In retirement news a number of high profile wrestlers retired this quarter, notably a number of AAA veterans who have been unable to find stable work since the closure of the company a few years ago. The list in full includes: Nate Johnson, Devil’s Daughter, Haru Kurofuji, Mary Beth Chase, Lady Liberty, Serena Star, Suzanne Brazzle, Candy Floss, Java, Jumbo Jackson, Yoko Ikina, Golden Delicious, Viper McKenna, Connie Morris, Melody, Tsuki Kawamata, Geena The Warrior Princess, Chris Caulfield, Nathan Coleman, Butcher Bartez, and Dallas McWade. On top of that Sanetomo Shirashi left the business. In promising news however Nathan Coleman has opened a wrestling school of his own to train the next generation of stars.

The list of injuries suffered this quarter with an expected length of one year or more reads: Naoji Azumi, Shiori Jippensha, Greg Black, Tanyu Toshusai, Hugh de Aske and Chance Fortune.

To finish up this quarterly report we are delighted to announce that WINNOW a joshi promotion dedicated to raising the next generation of Japanese women was founded by Saiko Hiroyuki.

Alone

“Ralph, you can’t be serious about this. What about the team?”

Johnny Needham, real name John Forsythe, was appealing to the sensibilities of his tag team partner - former tag team partner - Ralph Liotta, real name Ralph Grant, who at the end of August handed his notice in to Sam Keith and Jay Fair, informing them that he would not be working for Mid Atlantic Wrestling after the last Friday of September 2020.

“John, the team’s run its course. There isn’t anything left for us to do here except win the Classic and let’s face it, that isn’t happening.”

Tears welled up in the eyes of Johnny but he did his best to hold them back.

“But, what about me?” He asked.

Ralph laid a hand on his shoulder and smiled at his friend. “You’ll be okay John. You’ll still have Lisa to do the talking for you. You’ve got DeAnna. I know things are tough since she’s still in college in Texas, but once she graduates, she’ll probably move up here. Her job and her boyfriend are here y’know?”

“What are you going to do?” Johnny asked.

“Probably go back home.” Ralph answered. “Work my way around the indies, I’m sure you and I will end up teaming again. And hey the border isn’t too far away from here. It’s not like I’m going to Mars John. And you can always call me.”

The night after that conversation John couldn’t sleep. He had called DeAnna, but she hung up to get some sleep before her classes the next morning. She always tried to be in bed by midnight. She was dedicated and very in control. John couldn’t say the same for himself. It was an hour since he had heard from DeAnna, almost 2am in Baltimore, and John could not sleep. He missed his friend deeply and he hadn’t even left. The two made a perfect team. John was quiet and Ralph was lively. John could sell a beating and Ralph could throw punches for hours. The act worked. And now? It was going up in smoke.

John rose from his bed and washed his face in the sink. The tiny, dingy apartment he rented on the outskirts of Dover had water slightly cleaner than the cool sweat that made John’s face glisten in the moonlight as he moved past the window, from bedroom to bathroom. His eyes were red from a combination of sleep deprivation and tears, and John put down the lid of the toilet and sat with his head in his hands. He didn’t have the size or charisma to break out on his own. He knew that. Lisa was great, but she could only carry him so far and he knew sooner or later she would be moved on to somebody else, somebody with potential.

John stood up and walked to the kitchenette. He drank a glass of water and started to cry. He had held in the tears all day, from the moment Ralph told him what was happening. He couldn’t do it anymore. He could only be strong for so long.

He woke up the next morning with the cold tiles of the floor against his face. He sat up on the floor of the kitchenette disoriented. His eyes stung and his back was sore from the poor sleeping position. But he slept.

Another good show, frustrating to have called that half of a tag team would be leaving but guessing the wrong one! That Johnny Needham piece was heartbreaking and Josh Jacobs' "promo" made me laugh out loud! Great stuff, keep it going, I'm really looking forward to Where it all Begins Again!

TopRopeElbow.com: MAW Where It All Begins Again Card Rundown

Going into Mid Atlantic Wrestling’s biggest show of the year, we’ve decided to provide a primer for anybody who is new to the promotion and wants to watch this show without trying to find the tapes of the company’s shows prior to them streaming on WrestleWorld this July. It is also important to note that the event has been pulled forward by ten days and ticket prices have been slashed, which is rumoured to be due to a big star leaving the company before the original date for the show.

Match 1

vs

The first match on the card pits Sam Keith Classic Winners, The Wolf Pack against DeMarcus & Gray for the Mid Atlantic Tag Team titles. These two teams have been at each other’s throats since the end of last year and while DeMarcus & Gray have beaten The Wolf Pack once before, but the loss has seen The Wolf Pack come back more motivated and sadistic as ever, and it looks like they could be a real threat to the belts this time.

Match 2

vs

Next up sees two of the usual local talent MAW bring in to lose to established stars go one-on-one in a try-out match. While this match lacks the storyline draw, Kid Fantastic is one of the most exciting young workers on the independent scene today, while the natural heel Quentin Queen was said to have impressed none other than Sam Keith himself after his performance for the company earlier in the year.

Match 3

vs

The ascension of Simon Ice has been one of the shock stories in MAW through the second half of the year, as Devil May Care were not on anybody’s radar to enter the Sam Keith Classic, let alone get to the final with only one member. The Past Masters have likely learned that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer, and Sandman Winks will be looking to avenge the two pinfall losses his partner has suffered to Simon Ice. The numbers will be against him, but that hasn’t stopped “The Ice Man” yet.

Match 4

vs

Match four on the card sees Deuce Deadline and the newly formed Two Man Riot (Trix Triumph & Copperhead) taking on Kyle Diamond alongside Jaylon Martins and Joey Fili. The three TCW prospects have failed to really get off the mark in 2020 and it is possible their poor run of form continues, especially given the fact that Kyle Diamond is yet to win a match in his MAW career. This could be the perfect opportunity for Deadline to get bigger opportunities in 2021 while Two Man Riot may get their time teaming together off to the perfect start.

Match 5

vs

Speaking of Josh Jacobs, he is on the card taking on “The Nine-Tailed Fox” Ho Tinh. Ho Tinh has gone from strength-to-strength since his debut, and his heroic antics have caught the ire of many of the more nefarious members of the MAW roster. Ho Tinh’s Dam Lao backfist has dropped every man that’s been hit with it, and it could spend a quick end for Josh Jacobs. However, the Canadian veteran will be more than willing to cheat in order to come away with a win against the newcomer.

Match 6

vsvsvs

The main event of the show represents the culmination of the last ten months of storytelling from Sam Keith, Jay Fair and Tamara McFly. Bradley Blaze faces four men who could all realistically come away with the title, and the rumours that somebody may be leaving the company means Blaze’s title reign could be coming to an end. Cheetah Boy is seemingly very much in his “one last run” phase of his career as mounting injuries have seen his ring work take a major hit over the year. The Architect is likely the future of wrestling in America and it may be time for him to win the big one on the largest stage afforded to him by MAW. Frankie-Boy Fernandes has been the wildcard throughout this story and this year in MAW, his outstanding performances may well earn him a run with the top title in the company.

I think you finally switch the belts from DeMarcus & Gary onto the Wolf Pack here. The Pack are a good young heel team and DeMarcus & Gray have been booked strongly. This is the 'season finale' for MAW (as it technically is their anniversary show) so I think we start off with a title switch to build to whatever comes next.

Kid Fantastic vs Quentin Queen

Queen makes sense to be added to the roster. He's a graduate of the TCW school and makes sense to finally be coming in to MAW, TCW's feeder league, to get a chance to impress the TCW management.

I like Winks a lot, but I have the Tag titles going on to all heels tonight (and will have a heel winning the strap in the main event) so I need a babyface to take the belt, so I think you flip the title!

Ten months ago, the Architect of Your Destruction won the Rip Chord Invitational. He seems like he's been groomed all year for this moment. He wins the top title and we start some fresh programs with him being the dastardly heel people are trying to chase.

Bonus Prediction: Who Takes the fall in the four-way main event?: Frankie-Boy Fernandes

Kjarvs · May 27, 2020

The recent departure of Ralph Liotta makes me think twice about putting the tag titles on a heel team without many legitimate challengers but I think their win in the SKC was a signal of intent and I think they'll do enough to get the straps here, though I doubt it'll be a clean match

Kid Fantastic vs Quentin Queen

I think Queen makes the most sense here. As Historian said, he's a TCW academy graduate and I rate him higher as an in-ring worker than Kid Fantastic

Sandman hasn't held the belt for long and he has the numbers advantage with The Historian on the outside

Deuce Deadline & Two Man Riot vs Jaylon Martins, Joey Fili & Kyle Diamond

None of these folks have much going on at the moment, so I guess I'll call the win for the newly formed tag team

Ho Tinh vs Josh Jacobs

I was all in on Ho Tinh before he completely sh*t the bed at The Clash. Plus, Josh Jacobs did call his shot...

This is a toss up between FBF & The Architect for me. I think it's probably one of them that's leaving, but it's tough to call who

Bonus Prediction: Who Takes the fall in the four-way main event?:

The Architect

As I said in my Main Event prediction, I think FBF or The Architect is leaving, and whoever departs, they'll be doing it on their backs

SIDENOTE: I realise that I've backed the heels in all but the main event, so I'm not expecting full marks for my predictions, but I decided to pick each match on it's merits rather than try to balance my heel/face divide too much. Looking forward to the show, LET'S GO JJ!
