SWF Supreme TV Results [Tues. Wk. 3, Feb 2020]

 

qeYGKnn.jpg

From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy

 

This week’s Supreme TV came live from The V. Thompson Arena in Los Angeles, California and presented as a sold out show, even if it was actually 9.345 fans who paid a ticket with the rest handed out for free to fill the venue. According to the ratings report, this one scored a 2.81 with 2.112.385, a slight climb from last week’s numbers but nothing dramatic enough to shift the ratings needle.

As expected, the episode began with the new SWF World Heavyweight champion making his way to the ring to address the fans. Remo took his time walking to the ring and letting the fans take it all in as they chanted, before he got on the mic to talk about his main event match at Nothing to Lose. I can’t say his promo was really going anywhere until he mentioned there’s no one left around with a legitimate claim to his title, which of course brought out one of the Supreme brand’s latest acquisitions in Valiant. His reception was grand and so was his promo, which made a valid point: he had just arrived and back at When Hell Freezes Over, it was Rogue, not him, that Remo pinned to move on to his title match. Put two and two together, Valiant wants a shot at gold. Nice way to set up Remo’s first challenger, introduce Valiant back on Supreme TV and touch upon their recent past, all in all an 85.

Backstage, Big Smack Scott and Kurt Laramee had somehow cornered Eric Eisen and were complaining to him about the opportunities they aren’t given and how they haven’t been featured lately. I use “complaining” quite loosely here, as this segment featured all the (unintentional?) comedic timing of two physically imposing musclemen, Scott especially. An unexpectedly fun skit which also led somewhere, as Eisen promised to give them a match next week. Something to look forward to then, some promotion of next week’s episode at long last, for now a 71 for this segment.

 

nxYkj8k.jpg25UZG0h.pnggvy0H2L.jpg4a1C8BJ.jpg

SWF and DeSousa himself had announced on social media that he would be facing a local indy star on this night since the show was taking place in his home town of Los Angeles. This was the first match of the night and CZCW's Frankie-Boy Fernandes showed up to a good pop from the fans. Unfortunately, their match wasn't quite stellar but Fernandes kept it somewhat exciting with his flashy high flying moves, pushing his opponent so bad that Joe Sexy had to provide the assist in order for DeSousa to hit the Widow Maker and get the three count. Just a 53 here, but I'm told this one may have landed Fernandes a contract after all.

 

gvy0H2L.jpg4a1C8BJ.jpg

Not satisfied with just the win, DeSousa got on the mic for some talking and despite his dirty win, still got a babyface reaction due to being the hometown kid. Joe Sexy had to jump in and heel it up a bit, pushing this one to a 58 from Mr. Eisen.

When we returned from commercial, Mainstream Hernandez was backstage and cutting his first ever promo after turning face. The Crippler walked into the scene and the two men had an intense staredown that didn't however come to blows. Instead, Crippler mentioned that tonight he'd be taking on Mikey Lau in the main event and warned Hernandez to mind his own business. Okay, match promotion, drama, a bit of unpredictability, not bad at all. Well deserving of a 65.

The apparent feud between Gilmore, Morgan, Bekowski and Allen continued in this trios match, the heels naturally teaming with the man who put the group together while the faces were joined by Hernandez. Lots of moving parts but they made it work for a breezy eighteen minutes before Dulce Moreno distracted the ref so that Spade could low blow Hernandez and flatten him with the Supreme Stunner. I expected more than a 63 but that's what Mr. Eisen said.

 

TvNbpxX.jpgW31esv4.jpgEylo95j.jpgcmXGyfa.jpghqz3ypv.jpg

The Rat Pack had a lot of points to hit next in a limited time frame, so this one felt a little rushed, but I digress. So the group officially welcomed Willy LaRoux, introducing the former RIPW star to viewers before mentioning how up next, Hollywood Bret Starr was supposed to be in a three way match with Rocky Golden and Brandon James. Supposed to, because apparently the group had pulled some strings and greased some palms to force a mental evaluation of James that had deemed him unsafe to wrestle, thus banning him from the show tonight and ensuring a one on one Starr versus Golden match. Given more time to develop, this could have done better than the 62 it got.

 

eKotkFL.jpg

But no, it was a bait and switch! See, Brandon James was banned, but Big Cat Brandon wasn't! Kinda nice surprise to see him revisit his old gimmick and I didn't mind the swerve since it meant we were getting the match originally promised. A well deserved 59 for this surprise entrance.

 

eKotkFL.jpg25UZG0h.pngqD6llvF.jpg25UZG0h.pngTvNbpxX.jpgW31esv4.jpg

The twist was enough to give James some shine for this match, allowing him to not be completely outshined by Rocky Golden. Fans really came to their feet for this one and I for one think it’s not just because of who was involved, but also because they were tense for any potential interference, either from Scythe or the Rat Pack. You could say this slightly shifted focus from the match itself, but I feel it was somewhat necessary given how many times we’ve seen James versus Starr already lately. When the ref bump spot happened, I knew this was the cue. James pinned Starr with no official to make the count and instead of a replacement ref, Fame & Money with LaRoux ran down to rain down the chair shots on him. Being the heroic babyface that he is, Rocky Golden chased the Rat Pack out of the ring even if this wasn’t his rivalry to begin with, then when Starr tried to tell him to back off, Rocky put him in The Rack and held him for all to see until the ref regained consciousness to hear Starr saying he quits. Match of the night at 76, probably should have been the main event in hindsight.

 

qD6llvF.jpgRSL6GBd.jpg

Son of a, they got me again! Just as I thought the match was over with Rocky standing tall, Scythe did make an appearance after all to attack him on his way back to the locker room. Clearly their feud isn’t over since neither won at Nothing to Lose and I’m thinking the title got moved to Remo so they could feud. Lot of excitement from the fans as they were brawling, so it’s going to be good, in fact it was good enough for Mr. Eisen to rate it as an 82.

 

WBnSRhJ.jpg25UZG0h.pnginYGk7m.jpg

So I’ve already spoiled that the main event got outshined by the triple threat match, but that’s not to say it was bad at all. Mikey Lau had his first match back on Supreme TV and Crippler had all the technical prowess to match him in a solid contest between the ropes. Not that a masterclass on the mat is what SWF fans are into, so Lau wisely broke it up with sharp karate kicks and Crippler broke character for a brief ringside brawl segment. Mainstream Hernandez never made an appearance as it was alluded to, which was probably for the best. The previous match already had a lot of interference and it’s not like Lau needed any help since he ended up beating his opponent with the Dragon Whip. It was only then I’d realized they’d been fighting for almost half an hour, on TV no less. Fantastic match, 70 out of a hundred.

 

 

A pretty solid episode of Supreme TV, presenting the fallout from the Pay Per View while advancing storylines and setting up matches for next week to hook viewers into returning. Valiant and Lau were immediately thrown into the fire, apparently the model is switching from two somewhat balanced brands/shows into bringing all the big names for Supreme TV while turning Uprising into a de facto B show. SWF continues to rebuild for a comeback as Faith is getting more comfortable in his role as booker, delivering another good episode that was rated as a 74.

Welcome to a few new names in the prediction game and as usual, thanks for your support and comments.

 

I love how Historian tries to fade the heat to Dark Raider. Would be fun to see Raider review a TCW show.

I'd never force myself to do that. I mean, let's be honest, it's a Historian show: cowboys & injuns, MAW talent, second or third generation wrestlers, blue collar babyfaces, we all know his tropes :p

This Wednesday night is episode 7 of USPW American Wrestling for the year 2020 and it comes to us live from Utah Park Reservation in the South West. We're 2 weeks out from the next Special Event of USPW Red, White & Blue! and the company continues to build towards the event with another interesting card.

 

Casey Valentine
takes on
Kirk Jameson
and
Charity Sweet
takes on
Raven Robinson
in matches two and three of the best of five series that was started by
Bulldozer Brandon Smith
and
Trent Shaffer
. The good guys took the first win last week and the series could come to and end Wednesday if they do again but the last time these two singles matches took place it was Valentine & Robinson who emerged victorious. Tune in to see if it'll be a repeat.

 

National Champion
'Smooth' Roger Cage
will be in action once again for his 4th title defence in 4 weeks. He'll be defending in another open challenge match. At this stage we don't know who the talent is but it's another excellent showcase opportunity for someone to cause an upset. After
Joss Thompson
came out and challenged Cage for the title he said on Social Media this week that he'll be on commentary for the title match.

 

#1 Contender to the Women's title
Sara Marie
will take on
'The Green Dragon' Tiffany Jade
. This could be an excellent encounter between two former champions and if Jade could pull off the victory it could insert her back into the title picture she's been absent from for a while. We also have scheduled tag team action as the challengers to the tag team titles
The Texas Express
take on
Shockwave
. Jumbo & Atlas appeared to have issues after they came up short in their title challenge at Stars, Stripes and Slams with Jackson nursing an injured knee. We're not sure how this one will play out.

 

The final confirmed match is a huge TV main event in which
Running Wolf
goes one-on-one with
'The Dark Destroyer' Steve Frehley
. The ongoing rivalry between Frehley and Champion has taken many twists and turns through the years and it continues to do so now. Although it's singles affair it's likely that Champion, Bubba & Blake will all be ringside to prevent shenanigans which can almost guarantee that there will be shenanigans.

 

Don't miss this. We'll see you Wednesday!

Last time it was Raven who took the win and this time round was no different. They're telling a fine story here of Charity being great but not quite great enough to put away the veteran but she is starting to catch fire with the younger female demographic for sure.

The challenger was former CZCW talent Remmy Skye. The two talents put together a very good match and what was comfortably Cage's best match of the year so far. Skye gave the champion some trouble but ultimately still looked good in making the champion look good as he retained his title via the Cage Rage. This appears to be a one-night only deal for Skye but this was a great showcase for the 35 year-old to potentially get one more shot for the big time.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(67)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 6:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Thompson</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> provided fun color for the match and didn't get involved until after the bell rang.

This was a solid match that continues to highlight the talent on display in the women's division. A good match but a scary moment occurred near the finish when Marie lost her footing and fell back first on the metal turnbuckle pole. She managed to finish the match and still pick up the win to build momentum to her showdown with Jaime Quine but was tightly clutching her back and shoulder blades upon leaving the ring. Could be a nasty one.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(67)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 9:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> We then cut to the corridors of the venue where </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Roger Cage</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> is walking and licking his wounds from his beatdown earlier.

They all share a few words before Cage asks if they'd be willing to partner him in the six-man vs Thompson next week. They agreed. It was a nice, fun little segment carried by Cage's charisma and it's a nice callback to Jones' and Black's recent altercations with Thompson last month so it makes sense from a story perspective but these 'random' meetings of people who could team up is a bit cliché and convenient even by 'Sports Entertainment' standards. RC can talk and has charisma off the charts though which shone through here thus the score.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(69)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 10:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The Texas Express vs Shockwave</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The young and talented duo mixed it up with the big guy duo of Atlas & Jumbo in what was a fine match with shenanigans. The Texas Express picked up the win. Jumbo was hobbling and tending to his knee throughout which kept offering The Texas boys an advantage to the chagrin of Atlas. Eventually Atlas lost his cool, again, with Jumbo, entered the ring and shocked the big man by planting him with a Kronus Bomb. The babyfaces hit their finish and got the win. It seemed like they were going to win anyway but it's overshadowed by the finish and with how USPW have almost overlooked the tag titles lately it's a shame that they're distracting them again with whatever could be going on for Atlas.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(58)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 11:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> After the match ends </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>The Texas Express</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> cut a promo claiming that they can clearly beat big, intimidating teams just like the champions can and so are deservedly asking for a title shot. </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Jett & Moor, Flight & Might</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">, appear and cut a promo themselves putting everyone over and accepting the challenge.

Howard had height and strength advantage and utilised it well putting a hurt on Jackson. JJ snuck in a rake to the eyes and a few cheap shots without the ref noticing to buy himself enough time to grab a steel chair from under the ring and begin smacking lumps out of Howard for the DQ.

The brawl went a shade over 13 minutes and it was an entertaining affair with the usual fare of shenanigans and hard-hitting offence. The duo's associates were ringside but everyone kept each other in check and the match was mostly a clean affair until Bubba attempted to interfere and Champion prevented it which resulted in a three man brawl outside the ring. This momentarily distracted both Wolf & Frehley but Frehley trusted the 2-on-1 and floored Wolf with a crushing Dark Destroyer Spear. He followed this up with a thunderous Frehley's comet and the match is over. An excellent main event.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(83)</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 17:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The second the bell rings </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Frehley </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">hops out to the floor and aids </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Big Bubba</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> and </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Tavon Blake</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> and begins slugging away at </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Champion</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> as Mr. USPW is clearly in rough shape.

The World Title story is good in that's it offering a 'non-typical' main event in Howard a shot but it doesn't appear to be quite capturing the imagination of fans as perhaps intended.

SWF Uprising Results [Fri. Wk. 3, Feb 2020]

From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy

 

SWF were back at the Evanovich Riverside, New Jersey, for this episode of Uprising and 8.207 fans showed up to attend. According to NetStream, 3.640.564 people watched the show streamed live on their platform, another drop from last week.

Randall Buckminster Bumfhole got us started by hitting the ring with the rest of Unleashed Awesomeness, complaining about his main event match against his brother last week being thrown by the ref. As a reminder, the two men fought up the ramp and all the way backstage; I'd said that should have been a double countout instead and so did Randall, the difference here being me criticizing the booking aspect while he was talking down the ref, hilariously ignoring that the end result in either case would still be a draw. Good comedic undertones by RBB in full heel mode, before ZWB cut him off to a loud pop. Sort of predictable from there with ZWB bringing the heat on the mic and Unleashed Awesomeness threatening a beatdown, but the twist was that ZWB was prepared and found two men to back him up: Cali Slick and Fro Sure. Standoff for tonight but a six man tag between them will headline next week's episode. Strong start featuring major names while elevating the two ex-GSW men, storyline progression and a setup for next week's episode. Well worth the 72.

Backstage, Emma Chase was standing by to interview the SWF World Tag Team champions, but only Adams was with her. As he explained, Ekuma hadn't yet arrived at the venue but he began talking solo before getting cut off by the 2 on 1 surprise attack and beatdown by The Mission, cementing their heel turn. This one's been brewing for a bit and fans reacted to the angle, making it a complete success and a 67 on the grading scale.

First match of the night, Deever Arnold versus Xavi Ferrera. This one took full advantage of the location, since Arnold's known in the Northeast via RIPW while Ferrera made his name in Pittsburgh with PSW, so fans in attendance had a clue and weren't completely turned off. Deever's TV debut was all flash, showcasing his athleticism and high flying dive arsenal, whereas Xavi stuck to quick and flashy grappling that was exciting but also fitting for a heel. Very much an indie style spotfest, the point here was to hook in the crowd quick, even though they didn't know the wrestlers and given their popularity at this point, a 43 is fine for Ferrera cheating to beat Arnold, especially since their match was cut in the middle for a commercial break.

The Domination were backstage with Duane Fry and Kristen Pearce delivered a pep talk, hyping up Avalanche’s match tonight alongside the SWF North American champion, Des Davids. She's a great talker and probably deserves better than trying to elevate these two black holes of charisma they've laden her with, she and Fry were leagues ahead of Chill and Avalanche. M. Eisen gave it a 63.

Tank Bradley? Really? I don't know what he did to land a TV appearance on SWF, but at least he got ran over by Siaki in just 6 minutes, which is as it should be. Nostalgia pop, monster squashes, in and out. A 36 feels generous for what could have been a dark match.

We then got a promo from "Platinum" James Prudence who was interviewed by Ana Garcia. Prudence mocked ZWB's partners of choice in Slick and Fro, saying he's beaten them both, before trash talking them about clinging to ZWB "in hopes of riding his coattails on the way up". Ouch, man can still cut a scathing one, though I'd rate it a 49 due to him only burying others instead of elevating them.

 

VO0swHV.jpg25UZG0h.pngZG3gG6w.jpg25UZG0h.pngx70kFLp.jpg

I'm not sure of the story here, but it feels like fighting for a spot. Jungle Lord is in decline trying to hold on, Justin Sensitive trying to plant his flag without the Rat Pack around and Robbie Wright is ascending the food chain. My expectations were low to begin with but this was surprisingly watchable to land a 51. Maybe it was due to following Bradley vs Siaki, anything'd feel like a masterpiece after that. For the record, Jungle Lord got the pin over Sensitive, which I guess keeps him relevant while protecting Wright.

ZWB hit the ring next for a promo, not to talk about his trios match next week, not for a response to Prudence but to address Xavi Ferrera. This was more ranting about the way Xavi won his match and how he has to cheat, yadda yadda. Second appearance of the night for ZWB and a prominent role for his storyline but it makes sense: he's one of the brand's big stars, he's over, he can talk and he can wrestle so this one still got a 73 despite the repetition.

Backstage, Rogue and Smasher were arguing over who’s to blame for their loss to Lenny Brown and Steven Parker last week. Rogue tried to direct the conversation elsewhere when he pointed out that Brown & Parker had a match next and they should avenge their loss or at least provoke them enough for a rematch, but planning fell through once again when these two just couldn’t get on the same page. Which is kind of hilarious when you consider how on point they were as a team in the ring. Not sure if it’s played for laughs or we’re headed for the ol’ uneasy partners story, but this segment per se was entertaining enough to warrant a 76.

The good thing about sports entertainment is you can get away with some sub-par actual wrestling, but there’s no denying here that with the exception of Lenny Brown here, this was one for the Botchamania highlight reel. Maybe Rogue and Smasher somehow mentally cursed everyone after all. Anyway, this went on for about fifteen minutes before Brown managed to pin Avalanche. Kirsten Pearce was fuming afterwards and left the ringside area without waiting for Avalanche to come to his senses, so I'm guessing they're getting split up. A 61 for this hot mess.

 

Uma1ExS.jpgb88Ke2i.jpgZqKAoE0.jpgWfm7oyM.jpg

Back to the backstage area, Ekuma arrived and Sylvester Weatherfield broke the news to him about Adams, as well as the fact that in the light of events, SWF officials had greenlight a one on one match between him and Ranger. That's when Southern Comfort showed up, with Dillon saying they've been looking for them everywhere; Ekuma shouldn't worry, he and Kobb have his back covered against Matty Faith interfering tonight. Somewhat formulaic sports entertainment, with all things happening "by accident" and "on the fly" but all too conveniently to fit the narrative. Oh well, Mr. Eisen liked it enough to give it a 63.

 

wO1UocA.jpg25UZG0h.pngUma1ExS.jpgb88Ke2i.jpg

Weatherfield accompanied Ekuma to the ring, while Faith was nowhere to be seen. Other than that, the focus was in the two competitors and they had a great singles match. This was everything that Uprising aspires to be, a showcase of two young stars on the rise, with Ekuma and Ranger proving they have the chops to also get singles pushes on top of being tag team competitors. What took a bit out of the overall experience was the finish of Ranger intentionally getting disqualified when he took a chair to Ekuma’s face, but given how he kept blasting him after the bell this was clearly done as the next step in the two teams’ rivalry leading up to their title match at Awesome Impact. Solid main event with a 60 out of a hundred.

 

 

All in all, this was a good episode with a couple of storylines that were revisited more than once throughout the night to advance them. Can’t say the ZWB stuff was quite consistent, but Hawaiian Crush versus The Mission ran throughout the show and was interesting to watch. Mr. Eisen rated the whole thing as a 64.

https://i.imgur.com/pAEq6gk.jpg" width="900" height="206" /></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;"><p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff; background-color: #333333;"><strong>Total Wrestling Results</strong></span><br /><span style="color: #ffffff;">TCW was back on air after the travesty that was last week's show. This was the go-home show for <em>The War to Settle the Score</em>, their upcoming February Pay Per View. It looks like it's going to be a big pay per view with a first time singles match up in Aaron Andrews and Jay Chord in the main event for the World Title. They left a lot to be desired last week with bad performances across the board, so let's see how this week's show shapes up.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The show started off with an in-ring promo with The Sinner Society. They were hyping the upcoming Tag Team Title match at the Pay Per View with Devine Fortune challenging The Behemoths. Eddie Peak and Floyd Goldworthy split most of the talking and they did a good job. It was a solid opening segment. It had purpose and vision. It got its point a cross. A solid <strong>64</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">We came right out of this into the first match -- which was Sinner Society representative Nick Booth taking on Danny Fonzarelli. This was a simple match with Nick Booth dominating the hippie Danny. Nick Booth could really be a good big monster heel. He's got the presence around him and I have it on good word that The Historian loves big bruising monsters so Nick could have a good future. The Sinner Society is starting to grow on me -- I still think they are an odd collection of people, but The Historian seems to be a fan of them and it showed with Nick Booth getting the win in a solid, but unspectacular, opening match. <strong>56</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">We went backstage after the commercial break where Devine Fortune were standing by for their own promo hyping their match with The Behemoths. They played on the fact that they've been underdogs their whole careers and that they've never been afraid of a fight and aren't going to stop now. They plan on being the new TCW World Tag Team Champions and they're willing to go through hell to get there. Solid babyface promo. Really felt like a classic Southern underdog babyface promo. <strong>61</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The Television Title match was up next. Kip Keenan challenging Greg Gauge. Gauge has looked unstoppable with the TV title -- his only time in "deep water" coming in the two draws with Mr. Lucha III and Edd Stone almost pulling a victory out. Kip Keenan had some good early shine and this was a technically minded match. The crowd is starting to get invested in Kip and it helped. Greg continues to look like a star and when he forced the submission to the <em>Proton Lock</em>, he notched his sixteenth straight defense of the TV Title. <strong>61</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Still out of breath from the match, Greg Gauge immediately cut a promo about how he wants Mr. Lucha III one more time. This time with no time limit. He'll wrestle the whole show if he has to. He wants Mr. Lucha III right here next week! They've had two solid matches that were clearly designed to get Mr. Lucha III over so this is a natural extension of that. <strong>57</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The Syndicate took on Mighty Mo, T-Bone Bright, and The Wild Ones next. The Wild Ones will be wrestling The Elite at War to Settle the Score and Wolf Hawkins is taking on Mighty Mo and T-Bone Bright in a three-way-dance so this is a good warm up match. It was wild. Not a lot of tags and a lot of brawling around the ring. Chris Flynn took a wicked powerslam off the ring apron that was definitely the spot of the match, but Wolf Hawkins managed to pin Animal Harker after hitting him with a low-blow to get the win. <strong>67.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">We went backstage to the World Champion, Aaron Andrews next. He was really on top of his game. He accused Jay Chord of riding his family name. He is a good athlete, a good wrestler, but he's gotten handed everything because he shares the name of an immortal. Aaron Andrews had to claw up the rankings. He didn't get fancy private training with his father. He had to outwork everyone. He had to be better than everyone. He earned his spot through blood and sweat and he's not giving it up to Jay Chord. It was a fiery, pissed off promo. This was the kind of promo the showed needed. <strong>85</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Foxxy LaRue won a match with Queen Amazon to advance to the finals. It wasn't a great match. The two women are both good wrestlers, both solid talents, but they're not over yet and the fans don't really care about them. I really hope TCW plans to get some big name women soon. I know a couple of contracts are coming up and they desperately need some starpower and name-identity for this division to work.  <strong>39</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">We went from this back to the backstage with Jay Chord. Jay Chord was just as fired up as Aaron Andrews. He said that Aaron is right. He has gotten where he's at because of his last name -- because it meant he was born and bred for this business. It's in his blood. It is who he is. He's a star. He can't help it. Aaron has had his moment in the sun and what has happened? TCW has barely stayed afloat. It's been presenting great wrestling but Jay Chord accused Aaron Andrews of not being a real difference maker where as Jay Chord is going to be the catalyst to TCW becoming the number one pro wrestling company in the world. A real good, inside baseball, personal feeling promo. Maybe Jay's best. <strong>86</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Electric Dreamer beat Danielle Sweetheart in a match to advance to the finals against Foxxy LaRue. This match suffered the same as the first women's match. They have talent but they don't have stars. They don't have people the audience knows. They need someone. <strong>36</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The main event tag match was next. Aaron Andrews and Sammy Bach against Jay Chord and Ernest Youngman. I like this Chord-Youngman pairing. They look good in the ring next to each other.. Hopefully we see this pairing more frequently. This was a good tag main event. They didn't go out to do every spot under the sun but they didn't phone it in either. They wrestled -- and how refreshing to see <em>wrestling</em> on a <em>wrestling</em> program. Not like what you'd get on the other network. We got to see all four men in the ring at different times but Jay definitely let Ernest do the lion's share for their team -- definitely designed to help get Ernest over. Ernest and Sammy had some really interactions and Wolf and Jay ended up fighting to the back which let Sammy hit the <em>Adrenline Shot</em> to get the win in the tag match. Really excellent main event. <strong>78</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Overall, this was a much better show than last week's disaster show. This show hit on all cylinders. It had a really good main event that was action packed. It had two sensational promos. It really got the pay per view set up. We know we're going to get some big matches. Jay Chord and Aaron Andrews, Wolf Hawkins and T-Bone Bright and Mighty Mo, Sammy Bach and Ernest Youngman, a couple of tag matches. The finals of the Women's Title tournament. A great show to go out on. <strong>76</strong>.</span></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 915px;"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/dCLnspm.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="26" /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>
