<em>Surely this feud is here to promote Chord in the end.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Tana The Mighty vs <strong>Eddie Peak</strong></p><p>

<em>With Allen and Mo forming a team, looks like Tana got the short end of a stick and becomes bit of a third wheel. I´d assume Peak wins here and then either Mo or Allen gets their chance to defeat Peak in next PPV.</em></p><p> </p><p>

MAIN SHOW

One Man Army vs Greg Gauge

We kick off our second PPV of the year with Greg Gauge going one on one with the veteran One Man Army.

Gauge has been on a hot streak for a few months now, and he'll be looking to add another feather to his cap.

OMA is quite the step up from Benny Benson, though, and Gauge has to be careful if he hopes to keep his streak alive.

The match starts out pretty slow, with both men being quite cautious and trying to get a feel for their opponent.

OMA is the first to go on the offense, and he's the one finding success early with his fists. Gauge is trying to defend the best he can.

Brawling with OMA is clearly not working for Gauge, and, after a while, he manages to slow the action down to a game of technical chess.

Now, Gauge is in his element. He's getting stronger and stronger and manages to keep OMA on the back foot, having to focus on not getting submitted.

OMA isn't able to defend Gauge's technical prowess for too long, though, and has to tap out to Gauge's Proton Lock.

Gauge keeps his streak alive and is continuing to rise up the ranks.

Winner:

Greg Gauge via submission in 18:18

81

</div>

"Dr. Love" Danny Fonzarelli, Dazzling Dave Diamond and Human Arsenal vs The Syndicate (Doc Hammond and The Elite)

We continue with a match between the team of Danny Fonzarelli, Dazzling Dave Diamond and Human Arsenal and the team of Doc Hammond and The Elite.

The match was a last minute addition to the card and it will provide The Elite with a chance to avenge their loss against Fonzarelli and Arsenal earlier this week.

There's more than a century of experience facing off in the ring, with all six competitors having passed their fortieth birthdays.

The only one in the ring seemingly unaffected by his age is Hammond, who looks like the most dominant participant from the opening bell.

The match is solid, yet unspectacular, with the men in the ring clearly trying to tell a story, rather than going all out.

After some back and forth action, Hammond manages to submit Arsenal with the Texas Cloverleaf.

Winner:

The Syndicate via submission in 15:19 with Hammond submitting Arsenal for the win

63

</div>

EDDIE PROMISES A PEAK PERFORMANCE

We go backstage where Eddie Peak is preparing for his bout later in the evening.

Peak:

Tana! Mo! You can bring in all the outside help you want, but you won't stand a chance against the Sinner Society. Mo, you and your new buddy Allen will have your work cut out for you when you go up against The truly mighty Behemoths. And Tana, later tonight you'll figure out why I'm called the Hardcore Assassin. Later tonight, you'll face off against the past and current peak performer of this company.

64

</div>

The Mighty vs The Behemoths © for the TCW World Tag Team titles

It's time for the first title match of the evening. The Mighty, Mo and Allen, will get the chance to take the TCW World Tag Team titles from The Behemoths.

Killer Shark and Titan have been terrorizing the division for more than half a year, and they haven't looked vulnerable during their reign.

At Malice in Wonderland, Mo found some early success against the pair, but Tana's declining physical abilities, and Peak's interference, meant that the titles were never really in danger.

Tonight, things look different from the get go. Allen and Mo may be a bit smaller than their opponents, but they're every bit as mighty, and many times as athletic.

For the first time in a long time, Killer Shark and Titan look almost physically inferior, as they struggle against their opponents explosiveness.

The match is still pretty open, with both teams getting in some great offense, but the upset becomes a reality when Mo hits Titan with a Plunging Spinebuster.

The Mighty win the Tag Team titles

Winner:

The Mighty via pinfall in 16:15 with Mo pinning Titan for the win

74

</div>

Chance Fortune vs "Mighty Fine" Darryl Devine

Next up is the grudge match between former friends and partners Chance Fortune and Darryl Devine.

The breaenkup of Devine Fortune was an ugly affair, as Devine, who now goes by his old moniker of "Mighty Fine", has chosen a rather questionable path to end things with Fortune.

Devine will have to prove tonight that his partner was indeed the weaker link; meanwhile, Fortune will surely hope to get some revenge.

The match is pretty intense, with both men forgoing using their skill set in favor of a wild brawl.

It's definitely not the prettiest match, but Devine looks like a star as he's able to finish off his partner with relative ease.

Winner:

Darryl Devine via pinfall in 13:51

56

</div>

JAY WILL SILENCE BACH

Jay Chord is walking backstage, ready for his rematch with Sammy Bach, when he gets asked for any final words before his shot at redemption.

Chord:

I said it once, and I'll say it again: You didn't beat me at Malice in Wonderland, you merely got lucky. You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into when you accepted tonight's rematch. When I'm done with you, you'll wish to never have stepped in the ring with me. The time for words is over, Sammy, now you'll suffer.

82

</div>

"The Elation Sensation" Sammy Bach vs Jay Chord

The crowd is buzzing as it is time for the highly anticipated rematch between bitter rivals Jay Chord and Sammy Bach.

First to the ring is Chord, who walks down the ramp to a deafening roar of jeers and boos. He doesn't seem to mind the animosity from the crowd. In fact, he seems to bask in it.

Next up is Bach's big entrance through the crowd. Bach is greeted by his fans, the Bach movement, like the biggest rock star on Earth.

Bach is a little hesitant before entering the ring. It was never his plan to get in the ring with Chord a second time, and he doesn't seem like his usual exuberant self.

Bach has won the first match between the two by roll up, and Chord has spent the last month hazing Bach for his rematch, only getting his wish after viciously attacking Bach.

The match is a true treat, with both men pulling out all the stops. Chord's offense is especially crisp tonight, and he has a lot of success early on.

Bach finds his rhythm though, and – backed by his huge following – he is able to push through the early adversity.

As we push through the 20-minute barrier, things start to get really crazy, with many near falls, and Chord even getting out of a Bach on Your Back.

Bach is swiftly punished for failing to seal the deal as Chord hits him with a Cradle Piledriver for the win.

Winner:

Jay Chord via pinfall in 22:20

82

</div>

Tana The Mighty vs "The Hardcore Assassin" Eddie Peak

It's time for our co-main event, as Tana The Mighty will try to make it a clean sweep in his stable's feud with Eddie Peak's Sinner Society.

The crowd is still noticeably exhausted from the match between Chord and Bach, and many fans are still upset with Bach's loss.

The match gives the crowd a little breather, as Tana and Peak start off slow, with both men trying not to make a mistake early.

The match is captivating as a continuation of their factions' feud, but the action in the ring is somewhat lacking.

In the end, Peak manages to hit the Peak of Perfection without too much resistance, and he's able to salvage the honor of the Sinner Society.

Winner:

Eddie Peak via pinfall in 15:41

59

ANDREWS IS CONFIDENT

Before the main event, we see Andrews backstage in the last stages of his warm up. He looks ready and confident as always.

75

</div>

"The Ace" Aaron Andrews © vs Joshua Taylor for the TCW World Heavyweight title

Time for the final match of the evening, as Joshua Taylor makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Next up is the "Ace" Aaron Andrews, who is welcomed by the fans with a huge ovation, and the biggest pop of the night.

The referee, Charles Hapstander, goes over the rules again, and moments later we're underway.

We start off slow, with both men testing the waters, neither of whom willing to engage first.

After the two finally lock up, Taylor manages to strike first. However, it is Andrews who quickly takes over the match.

Taylor gets stronger as the match continues and he even manages to entangle Andrews in a Butterfly Lock. But not for long.

Andrews breaks free and manages to hit Taylor with a Standing Hot Show followed by a Flying Body Press. This match is over.

Andrews makes defense number six of his title.

Winner:

Aaron Andrews via pinfall in 21:57

86

</div>

HAWKINS IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

Aaron Andrews is in the ring, celebrating with the fans, when, suddenly, the lights go out.

When the lights come back we see Wolf Hawkins standing right behind the champ.

Andrews looks confused as the fans yell at him to turn around. But when he finally realizes what's going on it's too late.

Hawkins clocks Andrews from behind and swarms him as he falls to the ground. He continues his assault even after Andrews stops moving.

Even after the security personnel arrive, they hardly manage to get Hawkins off of Andrews. One has to wonder what RDJ has to say about this, given that Hawkins is still suspended.

We'll hopefully get some answers soon. That's our show, everybody.

The Pro Wrestling Reporter Monthly Review (FEBRUARY)

February has been an interesting month, with two titles changing hands (the USPW Women's title and the TCW World Tag Team titles), and with the big story being the debut of Mighty Allen in TCW. TCW have, again, been outperforming their rivals, with USPW especially struggling with meeting expectations. The overall wrestling landscape looks decent, with the wrestling industry being pretty strong, albeit with signs of getting weaker. The economy is pretty average, but there are more and more signs that there might be a recession pretty soon.

COMPANY UPDATES

¦ ¦ ¦

Rich Money ¦ Jett & Moor ¦ Roger Cage ¦ Faith McGee

USPW had a pretty disappointing month, with their monthly PPV, Red, White and Blue!, getting mixed reviews. In the main event, we saw Rich Money defend his belt against Andre Jones, Tyson Baine and Rick Law.

NEW TEAMS

––––––––––

Showtime (Greg Black and Morgan Malone)

The Good Squad (Melody and Sara Marie)

The Ultimate Warriors (Trent Shaffer and Joss Thompson)

Wrecking Krew (Paria and Wendy Anderson)

LAST MONTH'S FEUDS

Nicky Champion vs Steve Frehley

Running Wolf vs Rick Law</div>

¦ ¦

Rocky Golden ¦ Fame & Money ¦ Des Davids

SWF had a pretty average month, with their monthly PPV, Nothing To Lose, being the noticeable exception, garnering some very good reviews. The match between Remo and ZWB was singled out as being an early candidate for match of the year. In the main event, Rocky Golden defended his belt against Scythe.

However, the departure of Primus Allen was a big blow to the company.

TCW, again, had the most consistently strong shows out of the big three, and ended the month with another very strong PPV. In the main event, we saw Aaron Andrews defend his belt against Joshua Taylor. We also saw The Mighty win the World Tag Team titles from The Behemoths.

The biggest story of the month was the arrival of Mighty Allen. The signing is a very strong statement by newly crowned Co-CEO Ricky Dale Johnson, who has made all the right moves so far.

WORKER SPOTLIGHT

(As chosen by this month's pick'em winner, Zergon)

MATT HOCKING

Matt Hocking was never meant to become a wrestler. Born and raised in a little town outside Tallahassee, Florida, his exposure to latin music awakened his dream of becoming a professional dancer at an early age. In his youth, Hocking spent most of his free time in one of Tallahassee's premier dance schools, quickly turning into a very gifted salsa dancer. There, he also fell in love with a visiting dancer from Puerto Rico, and, with his parents' blessing, he followed her back to Puerto Rico when he was only sixteen. After a nasty breakup one year later, Hocking was about to head back to Florida – realizing that he wasn't good enough to break through the local dance scene's glass ceiling – when he stumbled upon a flyer for FCW's FREEDOM of Expression show. Intrigued by the branding, he made the fateful decision to attend his first wrestling show.

That night was a turning point for Hocking, as he met his future trainer Shawn Gonzales after the show. Gonzales quickly realized that the good-looking and athletic young man in front of him had the potential to become a great wrestler, and – realizing that he may have stumbled upon an opportunity to stay in Puerto Rico and earn a living – Hocking was quickly convinced to start training to become a wrestler. With his flashy, dance-influenced ring style and his suave, "metrosexual" mannerisms, Hocking soon rose up the ranks, and it was no surprise when TCW swooped in and signed him in 2014. He debuted as a flamboyant heel, and soon adopted the moniker "Shocking" Matt Hocking, playing up the preconceived notion of many newer fans that a "pretty boy" like him shouldn't be able to pull off the flashy aerial moves that he regularly does.

The start of 2020 couldn't have been any more successful for Hocking, after his real-life girlfriend Laura Catherine Huggins convinced the higher ups to team him up with her brother Freddy to form The Hybrid Two.</div>
