When Croquemitaine said he took some liberties with River and his “living the cultist” gimmick, I absolutely was floored by the full render. The headshot reminds me of Ermac from the Mortal Kombat remakes (so 9 and up), too, which was another plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowedFlames Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 THE LEAGUE: SEASON TEN, WEEK THREE DELTA DIVISION (5) Kichi Hida (1-1, OVR 433) vs. (6) Devil's Delight (0-2, OVR 415) A bit of a slower opener to the show, this was competitive if not terribly exciting, with Delight managing to connect with Hellborne Rising once, but unable to follow that up any further. Hida would hit a trifecta of signatures, eventually hitting her spinning elbow that put Delight down for the count before seven minutes had elapsed in the contest. Kichi Hida (2-1) def. Devil's Delight (0-3) via Pinfall (UFO Spin Elbow) in 6:46. Rating: ** Changes for Kichi Hida: OVR + 3.78, XP + 483.25, no notable damage Changes for Devil's Delight: OVR -0.07, XP + 120.81, no notable damage DELTA DIVISION CAGE MATCH (8) El Tornado (0-2, OVR 428) vs. (3) Lance Heartilly (2-0, OVR 409) A decent, if not good, early card bout for week three, this one saw Heartilly get busted open 63 seconds into the contest. Tornado would worsen the laceration slightly, but not enough to be of any significant hindrance to Heartilly. Lance would fight back, eventually going low on Tornado and taking the opportunity that allowed him to exit the cage and remain undefeated on the season. Lance Heartilly (3-0) def. El Tornado (0-3) via Cage Escape (begging off low blow) in 9:42. Rating: ** Changes for Lance Heartilly: OVR + 3.95, XP + 484.66, no notable damage Changes for El Tornado: OVR + 0.63, XP + 121.16, minor damage to head DELTA DIVISION (4) Jun Onoo (1-1, OVR 456) vs. (6) Nocturne (0-2, OVR 400) An early Match of the Night contender, this one featured Onoo using his power early to get out to a sizable advantage. When a press powerslam and an over the shoulder backbreaker drop failed to net him the pinfall, he stopped his assault for a moment to glare at the ref as if to say that the ref was to blame. That was the opening Nocturne was looking for, and in a sequence rather similar to her teacher, she managed to wear the big man down with holds, a chop block, and finally applied her grapevined ankle lock finisher on the much larger opponent. Onoo tapped after a few seconds of struggle, and Nocturne finally nets her first official League victory in her third attempt at it. Nocturne (1-2) def. Jun Onoo (1-2) via Submission (Midnight Solstice) in 12:33. Rating: *** Changes for Nocturne: OVR + 5.32, XP + 526.53, no notable damage Changes for Jun Onoo: OVR + 0.74, XP + 131.63, minor damage to head GAMMA DIVISION (6) Indigo Rose (1-1, OVR 453) vs. (8) Terrance Stevens (0-2, OVR 449) This was a night Indigo Rose would like to forget. She never really got any sort of offense going, and Stevens needed only a spinning elbow blow to put Rose down just past the six-minute mark. This was a squash, plain and simple. Terrance Stevens (1-2) def. Indigo Rose (1-2) via Pinfall (spinning elbow blow) in 6:20. Rating: * Changes for Terrance Stevens: OVR + 2.65, XP + 509.20, no notable damage Changes for Indigo Rose: OVR -0.81, XP + 127.30, moderate damage to head BETA DIVISION (7) Big Scott Weathers (0-2, OVR 459) vs. (7) Pulsar (0-2, OVR 449) Someone would end up being the only winless wrestler in the Beta Division after this one. If you were to look after five minutes and take a guess, Pulsar seemed like the sure lock to remain winless, and with good reason. Weathers had Pulsar staggered almost from the opening bell. The luchador would pick and choose his spots to get back into things, and by a dozen minutes in it looked like he’d have the momentum instead. But a missed slingshot splash would doom Pulsar, as Weathers reasserted control and never relinquished it for the remainder of the bout. A Blackout ended things, and it’s Pulsar who drops to 0-3 in the Beta Division after a Match of the Night contender. Big Scott Weathers (1-2) def. Pulsar (0-3) via Pinfall (Blackout) in 14:26. Rating: *** Changes for Big Scott Weathers: OVR + 5.46, XP + 685.76, minor damage to head Changes for Pulsar: OVR + 0.76, XP + 171.44, moderate damage to ehad DELTA DIVISION FIRST BLOOD MATCH (1) Monty Dhillon (2-0, OVR 491) vs. (2) Scott Stevens (2-0, OVR 408) A short but highly entertaining match, this could have been in contention for Match of the Night if it had gone longer. Both men went at it from the opening bell, neither backing down an inch in the process. Stevens managed to connect with the Toxic Sting near the end of the match but Dhillon was too much on this night. The front-runner for promotion this season managed to bust Stevens open with a stump piledriver a shade before eight minutes into the contest to hand Stevens his first loss of the season. Monty Dhillon (3-0) def. Scott Stevens (2-1) via First Blood (stump piledriver) in 7:45. Rating: *** Changes for Monty Dhillon: OVR + 5.19, XP + 524.03, no notable damage Changes for Scott Stevens: OVR + 1.59, XP + 131.01, minor damage to head GAMMA DIVISION (2) Lucas Molina (2-0, OVR 453) vs. (3) Markus Clay (1-1, OVR 454) Do not let the results fool you—Molina controlled the bulk of this match. Sure, Clay got some offense in, but nowhere near enough. A missed springboard legdrop led immediately into the Molina Bodylock, and the almost instant submission as Molina solidifies his grasp on a promotion spot in the early going. Lucas Molina (3-0) def. Markus Clay (1-2) via Submission (Molina Bodylock) in 12:30. Rating: * Changes for Lucas Molina: OVR + 2.90, XP + 512.33, no notable damage Changes for Markus Clay: OVR -0.88, XP + 128.08, minor damage to legs GAMMA DIVISION (7) Erick Gibson (0-2, OVR 465) vs. (5) Diego Rodriguez (1-1, OVR 479) A painfully average bout, this one went about six minutes longer than most would have liked, and both men paid for their stubbornness in not staying down for the count. Gibson had the first shot, but missed his only chance at the Terminable Offense. Rodriguez would hit the Prelude to Dissonance twice, but eschewed either of his finishers in favor of a full nelson legsweep to score the pinfall and finally put an end to the bout. Diego Rodriguez (2-1) def. Erick Gibson (0-3) via Pinfall (full nelson legsweep) in 16:36. Rating: ** Changes for Diego Rodriguez: OVR + 4.34, XP + 561.16, moderate damage to head Changes for Erick Gibson: OVR -0.08, XP + 140.29, moderate damage to head BETA DIVISION SUBMISSION MATCH (3) Blood River (1-1, OVR 481) vs. (2) Angela Wassermann (2-0, OVR 456) For someone with a submission finisher against a wrestler not known at all for submissions, and being 2-0 lifetime against River, Wassermann had every advantage in this. And she still lost to a sloppy dragon sleeper from River. There’s simply no other way to put this: Wassermann choked away a sure win against River here. Blood River (2-1) def. Angela Wassermann (2-1) via Submission (force submission) in 10:30. Rating: * Changes for Blood River: OVR + 2.82, XP + 578.01, no notable damage Changes for Angela Wassermann: OVR -0.86, XP + 144.50, minor damage to head ALPHA DIVISION (7) De'siree Mitchell (1-1, OVR 472) vs. (6) Reverend Johnny Gross (1-1, OVR 484) A better match than the one previous, this was much closer in terms of competitiveness. Gross had an early lead, lost it to Mitchell, got it back later on, but could not get the former nose tackle primed for his submission finisher. In fact, his attempt to set up his finisher with a brainbuster went for naught as Mitchell slapped him on the chest as he went to lift her, and the impact loosened his grip enough that Mitchell immediately went to the ropes and delivered an All Out Blitz for the cover and the week three victory. De'siree Mitchell (2-1) def. Reverend Johnny Gross (1-2) via Pinfall (All Out Blitz) in 14:25. Rating: ** Changes for De'siree Mitchell: OVR + 4.22, XP + 730.38, minor damage to head Changes for Reverend Johnny Gross: OVR -0.07, XP + 182.60, minor damage to head BETA DIVISION (4) Jean-Paul Ouilette (1-1, OVR 485) vs. (5) Yoshii Nakamatsu (1-1, OVR 481) What many thought to be the actual Match of the Night turned out to be the top contender for the billing. This was a back-and-forth match, with Ouilette not backing down against the better all-around wrestler in Nakamatsu. Cecile Corinne even ran interference in this one, and that nearly led to Ouilette picking up the victory here except that he missed Le Petit Mort…twice. Off the second miss, Nakamatsu converted it into the rarely-seen Nakamatsu Driver to keep Ouilette down for three. It’s unclear why Maven Deltzer only rated this at three stars, though the author is beginning to have a sneaking suspicion as to why…. Yoshii Nakamatsu (2-1) def. Jean-Paul Ouilette (1-2) via Pinfall (Nakamatsu Driver) in 16:28. Rating: *** Changes for Yoshii Nakamatsu: OVR + 5.61, XP + 687.13, minor damage to head Changes for Jean-Paul Ouilette: OVR + 0.78, XP + 137.43, moderate damage to head, minor damage to body ALPHA DIVISION LAST ONE STANDING MATCH (1) George Mastachas (2-0, OVR 481) vs. (2) The Mastodon (1-1, OVR 479) Mastachas came in to the match as the clear leader in the Alpha Division after two weeks. He would leave it with a splitting headache and his first loss of the season. The Mastodon ran wild in this one, busting Mastachas open and using the blood as a target, by and large. A Rampage finally put an end to the proceedings, as Mastodon shows that he’s not the afterthought some made him out to be last season. The Mastodon (2-1) def. George Mastachas (2-1) via Last One Standing (Rampage) in 11:26. Rating: ** Changes for The Mastodon: OVR + 4.05, XP + 728.23, no notable damage Changes for George Mastachas: OVR -0.07, XP + 182.06, moderate damage to head ALPHA DIVISION (5) Brandy McDonald (1-1, OVR 493) vs. (8) Daniel Simmons (0-2, OVR 489) Simmons’ woes continue in the top flight. This was probably the closest he’s come to winning a match this season, but being interrupted four times running to hit the Working Man’s Dropkick is what did him in. After fending off Brandy rushing him twice and kicking her away on the third attempt, it was on the fourth that Simmons finally got thrown from the top rope…and immediately put into a bulldog choke for the tap out. Brandy moves to 2-1, and may again be proving to be an early contender for the League Championship. Brandy McDonald (2-1) def. Daniel Simmons (0-3) via Submission (Hair of the Dog) in 18:15. Rating: ** Changes for Brandy McDonald: OVR + 4.43, XP + 733.14, minor damage to head Changes for Daniel Simmons: OVR -0.08, XP + 183.29, minor damage to head GAMMA DIVISION (4) Diamond (1-1, OVR 463) vs. (1) Christian Priest (2-0, OVR 527) Bob Sinclair: We go back to the Gamma Division next, as— Frankie Garnett: Oh, brothers and sisters of the First Church of Wrestling, it is time for this week’s sermon to commence!

Folks, we’re just going to cut to commercial here while we get these fans wearing Priest’s merchandise out of the aisles and back into their seats for the remainder of the show, and maybe give Frankie some tranquilizers or something. We’ll be right back. As the show goes to commercial, an ad appears for “the top selling shirt of The League: the Christian Priest First Church of Wrestling” shirt. Next to the link for the e-shop appears to be a slogan: “not your ordinary fly by night t-shirt company!” Christian Priest (3-0) def. Diamond (1-2) via Submission (Martrydom) in 12:34.

He made O’Hallister pay for those thoughts of other people in the opening minutes, not giving Mel a chance to breathe. O;Hallister would fight back when he could, and where he was able to, and soon found himself with a prime opening. Nuclear had knocked O’Hallister to the ring apron, and moved in with a headbutt…only to come out worse on that exchange thanks to the “Samoan”-esque skull of O’Hallister. A spinning elbow blow immediately followed this, and Nuclear was stunned just long enough to remain down for three. O’Hallister pulls out yet another victory against the reigning League Champion, and has to be considered another favorite to win his first League Championship! Mel O'Hallister (2-1) def. Nuclear Templeton (1-2) via Pinfall (spinning elbow blow) in 15:54.

He damn near managed it, too. Norris kept Blackfield off-balance with his high-speed offense, but Blackfield got enough offense in to keep the match close. Norris could not land a Boomerang DDT, but did manage to hit the Down Under Disaster on the first try. We all know what that means. On the second move of the adrenaline rush, Blackfield landed a Scotland Destroyer…and Norris kicked out at 2.99. Blackfield was livid and nearly punched the official in frustration, but went back to the attack. A Tartan Effect also only netted two, but by then the adrenaline had faded. Norris attempted to mount a comeback but he’d taken too much punishment in a two-minute span. A second Destroyer finally put an end to the proceedings, and Blackfield escapes week three with his record still intact, in what truly felt like a main event bout! Brian Blackfield (3-0) def.

ShadowedFlames Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 I’m going to be starting matches after my doctor’s appointment/guilt trip session this afternoon, so… ALPHA: McDonald, Simmons, Nuclear, Gross. (If Simmons is ever going to break his losing streak, this is the week for it!) BETA: Wassermann, River, Weathers, Pulsar. (I smell an upset in the main, the others are coin flips to me.) GAMMA: Priest, Rodriguez, Molina, Gibson. (That last one is the only one I’m confident in. Priest and Molina only slightly less so.) DELTA: Heartilly, Delight, Hida, Tornado. (I know…WTF? Hear me out. This is Lance’s biggest test. If he can put Dhillon down, he may pull a Blackfield and go 14-0 in the division. Delight has a submission finisher and Onoo was found last week to be susceptible to them. Hida’s got more OVR than Stevens and in the sprints that are Delta Division bouts every single point helps. Finally, Nocturne doesn’t have as many moves to go through a table. Tornado does, plus he’s got the OVR advantage.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Somewhere in the dark gym the punchbags are finally getting a rest, with the heavy bag as worked over as it can be and Nuclear's radioactive hands being rested on ice to avoid melting down completely. Perhaps a change is necessary, perhaps some people are getting so used to being beaten down that they're toughening up instead of breaking down. Nuclear's friends in the shadows have high expectations and it's time Nuclear lived up to those or.....

ShadowedFlames Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Thanks to Christian Priest hogging all the MOTN awards this season to date, I’m thinking of doing something…a little different for week four at the minimum. Because these newer forums do not display a full quoted passage at once—it has the arrow to expand the window—I am thinking that this week, I will actually insert all sixteen matches into the card. No commentary save for the actual MOTN…yeah, likely another Priest match…but this way people can actually see their characters at work and can lambaste me for my choice of signature move commentary. I will still do summaries though in case that’s more to your mood, or just to see what liberties I take with the events that happened in the name of making a better story. Depending on reception and how much of a pain in the appropriate body parts this turns out to be, it may extend further down the line.

Croquemitaine Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 A video making the rounds on social media: The video opens on Monty Dhillon looking sombre, sitting alone in a dark stairwell. His voice, when he finally begins to speak, is quiet and introspective... I won't lie. Things didn't start well for me in The League. I didn't want to be in Delta Division. None of us did. It was the bottom. The basement. We were the designated curtain jerkers and bathroom breakers. We didn't like it, no, but that didn't mean we couldn't do something about it. We weren't friends. Hell, some of us hated each other, but there was a mutual understanding... We were going to MAKE people care about Delta Division. Monty looks up, his voice gaining intensity... And we did! We may not have put on the best matches, or the flashiest matches, but fans knew... if you watched a Delta Division match... you were gonna see a FIGHT! No holding back, no time-wasting, no mincing about. Just big moves and bigger hits! We were giants, or fought like giants... Monty briefly looks down at the image on his shirt... We put it all out there for the fans, and I think... I believe... they understood that. Representing Delta Division was a source of pride. We made it a home! Monty looks back down, lowering his voice again... But that was two seasons ago. People moved on, or out... new players came and went. Molina stopped by for a cup of coffee before moving on to better things. Anarchy did the same going the other way. Christian Priest... Monty pauses and shakes his head... my forever rival, ascended and left me behind. So now it's Season Ten, and I look around and realize... I'm the only one left! There's no one else here from the days when Delta Division meant something. And I realize... it's not a home. It was never a home. It's more like... a freakin' bus station! Everyone coming and going. No one sticking around. Except me. I'm stuck here. Trapped. Going nowhere. Like some poor sap selling cigarettes and lottery tickets at a dirty kiosk next to the toilets. Monty stands up, his voice rising and his intensity escalating... I can't take it anymore. I have to get out of here. I NEED to get out of here. Monty walks forward, the camera backing up... Delta Division? Hah! I don't even know who you people are. I just know one thing... you're standing between me and the way out. So understand this, punks. This season... I'm not just coming for you... Monty points straight at the camera as he shouts his final line... I'M GOING THROUGH YOU!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Phoenix Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) *We fade into the big canvas tent that houses Carnival of Violence. It’s a chaotic place. Fights between people obscured in shadow are off to each side and in the background. It’s recognizable as sparring/training…if one was a violent psychopath, anyway. But in the center ring, as always, is our Ringmaster. Kichi Hida. She speaks in Japanese, so the following is subtitled.* Good grief. Everyone’s so grumpy here in Delta division. Monty’s right. It’s lonely. Just me, him, and Armbar-chan from Season 9. But…that’s no reason to be so grumpy, everyone. We’ve got lots of new friends to fight. Lots of new people to hit and hit us back. *She giggles excitedly. It’s almost cute. Except for, you know, the psychosis infecting it. Then her mood turns on a dime. She’s quite displeased about something, and start pacing back and forth.* I don’t like it. Everyone’s so boring. What’s a Nocturne? Texas-san? Sad Angry Jun-chan? A Tornado? Scary, scary. Boring, boring, boring. You want to go to Gamma? You want to be League champion? You are boring. I want you to show me your best violence. But none of you want to do that. So, I’ll stand in your way. If everyone in Delta wants to be boring, maybe I’ll go to Gamma instead and leave you all here. *Yes, this is one displeased Ringmaster, but then she stops pacing and smiles. Her eyes give it away behind her bandana. She’s had a lovely idea.* Yes yes! Kichi Hida-san, gate guard, reporting for duty! You boring people have no choice. You want a promotion at work? No more salaryman? Hello, manager-san? You come to Kichi’s gate. If you impress her, maybe she will let you past. Be careful! If you fail too much, she’ll kill you. Rest in peace, Anarchy-boy. *Somebody off camera speaker to her. It is not subtitled from Japanese. She claps her hands vigorously. Once. Twice. Thrice.* Okay! I have to go now. Things to do, people to see, cute girls’ noses to break. Barbed wire won’t wrap itself around their necks. This is your Ringmaster, signing off. See you tomorrow, Texas-san. And Monty…see you in September. Maybe I hit you so hard you won’t forget me this time, eh? *Kichi’s psychotic laughter seems to fill the whole tent, and we fade out.* (Disclaimer: The thoughts and opinions of Kichi Hida are in no way representative of my own. She's a crazy chica, and I'm, uh, neither of those things. So you know.) Edited August 19, 2023 by Eternal Phoenix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowedFlames Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 THE LEAGUE: SEASON TEN, WEEK FOUR DELTA DIVISION TABLES MATCH (8) El Tornado (0-3, OVR 429) vs. (5) Nocturne (1-2, OVR 405) The show kicked off with the first of three consecutive single-star rated matches. Tornado would waste absolutely no time as he sets the mark for the fastest “gimmick” bout in League history with a sub-five-minute squash of Nocturne that ended with a DDT through a partially set-up table. El Tornado (1-3) def. Nocturne (1-3) via Table Break (DDT) in 4:59. Rating: * Changes for El Tornado: OVR + 2.60, XP + 442.19, no notable damage Changes for Nocturne: OVR -0.79, XP + 110.55, minor damage to head Quote (00:00) *** The match began (00:07) El Tornado hit a Running Clothesline (00:12) Nocturne fought back against being picked up from behind (00:16) El Tornado broke an Arm Wringer Smash (00:20) El Tornado hit a Kick To Knee (00:24) El Tornado hit a Headbutt (00:28) El Tornado hit a Stomp (00:37) Nocturne moved out of the way from a Slingshot Splash.

Well…Hida basically said “hold my sake and watch this.” The result was a three-and-a-half-minute beatdown of Scott Stevens that may well hold the League record for fastest single match for a very, very long time. Kichi Hida (3-1) def. Scott Stevens (2-2) via Pinfall (UFO Spin Elbow) in 3:33. Rating: * Changes for Kichi Hida: OVR + 2.54, XP + 441.56, no notable damage Changes for Scott Stevens: OVR -0.77, XP + 110.39, no notable damage Quote (00:00) *** The match began (00:03) Hida hit a Kick To Gut (00:07) Hida hit an Eye Poke (00:10) Hida hit a Punch (00:14) Hida hit a Face Rake (00:17) Hida hit a Punch (00:17) S.

Stevens DELTA DIVISION SUBMISSION MATCH (7) Devil's Delight (0-3, OVR 415) vs. (6) Jun Onoo (1-2, OVR 456) So we already know thanks to the opening of the first match that this one didn’t go over well either. But was it at least a respectable length? Yes…if you count eleven minutes of just barely above squash territory respectable. The size and popularity difference were far too much for Delight to overcome, as Onoo utilized his Lasting Agony bearhug to finally force the submission. Jun Onoo (2-2) def. Devil's Delight (0-4) via Submission (Lasting Agony) in 11:02. Rating: * Changes for Jun Onoo: OVR + 2.84, XP + 444.85, no notable damage Changes for Devil's Delight: OVR -0.86, XP + 111.21, minor damage to head and body There is no match transcript here because the author apparently thought he copied it over and then deleted it from his list without confirming. But you didn't miss much, trust me on this. GAMMA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH (8) Erick Gibson (0-3, OVR 465) vs. (7) Indigo Rose (1-2, OVR 452) The good news about this match is that it was received better than the first three matches were. The bad news is that average still beats out squashes and dull bouts. A competitive matchup at least, this had the benefit of going back and forth, with signatures hit by both competitors, and blood being spilled by both wrestlers. In the end though, Rose would hit her variated DDT one time too many, and Karen McClure’s shouts at ringside went in vain as Gibson remains winless on the season, putting himself in a hole in the Gamma Division at the end of the first quarter of the season.

It was just as competitive as the previous match, and a bit closer as both men got to attempt a finisher at least once. The difference is that Molina couldn’t get Stevens tied up properly for a submission. Stevens just needed to get lucky once with his foot in the right place, and one Maple Leaf Meltdown later, Terrance Stevens had pulled off the first minor upset of the evening.

The author makes a quip about Christian Priest getting another MOTN, and WS3 responds by saying “And I took that personally.” But enough from me, let’s go to ringside and our usual commentary crew… Bob Sinclair: Control of the Delta Division is at stake here as Monty Dhillon faces off against one of the hottest newcomers to the Delta Division in Lance Heartilly. Frankie Garnett: I’ve seen footage of Heartilly during the Omega Division tryouts, I think he’s got Monty’s number tonight! Bob Sinclair: If he does, Frankie, it’ll go down as a major upset. Dhillon’s been a contender to promote every season so far, and he’s the oddsmakers’ favorite to do it this time. Heartilly won the Omega Division competition via tiebreaker, but has shown to be just as effective in The League proper. We’ll see who moves to 4-0 in the division soon enough as the bell sounds, and this one is underway!

Some of the best technical wrestlers have come out of the House of Stone, though Lance himself never claimed to train there. Frankie Garnett: Yeah, I asked him about that, actually. Bob Sinclair: Wait, Frankie doing actual work or even acting like a rational human being?! Frankie Garnett: Yeah, yeah, I know. Back on the subject, Heartilly mentioned that training in the House of Stone was never on his agenda. He wanted to go through another trainer, and become someone who could rival the best to emerge from the House of Stone. Suffice it to say that he may have done just that.

Frankie Garnett: That’s what Lance wants you to think, Bob. I see it in his eyes, he’s trying to work Dhillon into the right spot at the right time.

Dhillon’s trying to turn the hold over…only for Heartilly to continue rolling with it and keep the pressure on! Dhillon’s still a couple of feet from the ropes, and there’s the tap out, he had no choice! Frankie Garnett: Now we see why Heartilly won the Omega Division, Bob. Makes me wonder why the other person to come up from there hasn’t done as well. Bob Sinclair: That’s a discussion for another night, Frankie. We’ll be back after a short break with some Beta Division action! Lance Heartilly (4-0) def. Monty Dhillon (3-1) via Submission (Hellacious Leglock) in 11:07.

This one featured a lot of action in the corners and turnbuckles, and pop-up arm drags blocked on several occasions before Pulsar managed to hit one of the more rarely-seen moves in The League: his spider superplex he dubs the Call of the Twelve. He went airborne immediately after that, and landed the Zodiac Implosion for the pinfall and another minor upset on the evening. Pulsar (1-3) def.

It’s hard to call this a minor upset given that these two each had two victories against the other, but when the non-technical wrestler earns a submission victory over a technical wizard, and it’s not a sloppy hold or desperation attempt, it’s worth noting. That’s what Diamond managed, as her sharpshooter hold was enough to force the tap out, and she evens her record on the season. Diamond (2-2) def.

Sustained stretches of offense on either side eventually led to Ouilette finding the momentum at the right time, and connecting with his fist drop to put Weathers down for three. A much needed win for Ouilette as he looks to remain in the hunt for at least the number two spot in the Beta Division. Jean-Paul Ouilette (2-2) def.

At least once, Gross thought he had the hold locked in but failed to account for Mastodon’s longer legs breaking the plane of the ropes. In the end, Gross’ inability to apply the finisher in the right setting would be his downfall, as Mastodon fought his way back and landed a Rampage to move to 3-1 and maintain a share of the best record in the top flight.

Priest would utilize his size advantage to wear down Clay over the next six minutes and change. A missed slingshot moonsault sealed Clay’s fate, as Priest immediately locked in Martrydom until Clay passed out from the pain. He wasn’t beating a ten count after that. Christian Priest (4-0) def. Markus Clay (1-3) via Last One Standing (Martyrdom) in 8:29.

After all, he was undefeated against O’Hallister in two attempts. O’Hallister promptly decided “that wont work for me, brother” and proceeded to hammer Simmons over the following minutes. There was about a two-minute span that Simmons controlled completely, otherwise it was the Irishman who asserted his will and connected with his reverse DDT to claim a share of the Alpha Division lead going into week five.

From the opening bell, McDonald looked to be off her game, and it showed as Mastachas took an early advantage and never really relinquished it throughout. Sure, McDonald got some offense in but on this night, the former League Champion was severely outclassed. It wouldn’t even take a finisher to put her away, just an explosion suplex as Mastachas moves to 3-1 and stakes an early claim for claiming the championship. George Mastachas (3-1) def.

For eight minutes, Wassermann controlled the bulk of the match, keeping Blackfield on the defensive. Alas, Blackfield is not The Juggernaut for no reason, and stormed back into the match by hitting a Tartan Effect as soon as he was capable of doing so. That rocked Wassermann, and it would only get worse from there for her. The eventual Scotland Destroyer would see Blackfield move to 4-0 on the season, 30-2 in his League Career, and end the show with folks questioning if he could actually replicate his Delta Division feat and go 14-0 in the Beta Division….

Eternal Phoenix Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm gonna put together a little something analytical for next Saturday, since we're not having any matches. It's roughly the quarter mark, so it'll be a cross between the big end of season thing I did last time and the predictions I did before week one. Please look forward to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croquemitaine Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 So it seems that loss was just too much for poor Monty to take. He's had a nervous breakdown... and emerged with a new personality! So everyone, please say hello to The League's newest superstar: MOUNTIE DHILLON!!! Dear God yes, I'm kidding! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed, Dhillon will only lose six more matches in Delta…against Kichi, Nocturne, and Delight. For the others, well we all know he’ll win those. Because the Mountie…always gets his man.

ShadowedFlames Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 COMPARING ACTUAL STANDINGS TO MY PREDICTED PRESEASON OUTCOMES ALPHA DIVISION 1. The Mastodon: 3-1, predicted 1-3. 2. George Mastachas: 3-1, predicted 2-2. 3. Mel O'Hallister: 3-1, predicted 3-1. 4. Nuclear Templeton: 2-2, predicted 3-1. 5. Brandy McDonald: 2-2, predicted 2-2. 6. De'siree Mitchell: 2-2, predicted 1-3. 7. Reverend Johnny Gross: 1-3, predicted 2-2. 8. Daniel Simmons: 0-4, predicted 2-2. I had the Alpha Division being a lot more competitive coming in to this season. While I only had two records correct at this point, I can only give myself partial credit for Brandy. She won matches I had her losing and vice versa. O'Hallister I had spot on though. Biggest early surprise: Mastodon going 3-1 after a dismal Season Nine. BETA DIVISION 1. Brian Blackfield: 4-0, predicted 3-1 2. Blood River: 3-1, predicted 0-4 3. Jean-Paul Ouilette: 2-2, predicted 2-2 4. Yoshii Nakamatsu: 2-2, predicted 4-0 5. Angela Wassermann: 2-2, predicted 3-1 6. Billy Norris: 1-3, predicted 1-3 7. Big Scott Weathers: 1-3, predicted 1-3 8. Pulsar: 1-3, predicted 2-2 Ouilette was fully accurate, less so for Norris and Weathers. Blood River has seemed revitalized following a wardrobe change, given that I had him winless in my predictions as his aerial offense started to catch up to him here. And also for the record, I had predicted Blackfield's loss at this point to be to Wassermann in week four via submission but The Juggernaut decided otherwise... Biggest early surprise: Blood River pushing for early promotion with a hot start. GAMMA DIVISION 1. Christian Priest: 4-0, predicted 4-0. 2. Lucas Molina: 3-1, predicted 2-2. 3. Terrance Stevens: 2-2, predicted 3-1. 4. Diamond: 2-2, predicted 2-2. 5. Diego Rodriguez: 2-2, predicted 1-3. 6. Indigo Rose: 2-2, predicted 2-2. 7. Markus Clay: 1-3, predicted 0-4. 8. Erick Gibson: 0-4, predicted 2-2. I am not surprised by Priest's record. I don't think he's got a Blackfield run in him, not with Molina lurking, but undefeated through four weeks sounded about on par. Diamond was also picked exactly right, while partial credit is given for the Indigo Rose standings. Biggest early surprise: Erick Gibson's struggles against anyone and everyone so far. DELTA DIVISION 1. Lance Heartilly: 4-0, predicted 3-1 2. Monty Dhillon: 3-1, predicted 2-2. 3. Kichi Hida: 3-1, predicted 1-3. 4. Scott Stevens: 2-2, predicted 3-1. 5. Jun Onoo: 2-2, predicted 2-2. 6. El Tornado: 1-3, predicted 1-3. 7. Nocturne: 1-3, predicted 2-2. 8. Devil's Delight: 0-4, predicted 2-2. So it turns out that I'm absolute garbage at predicting the Delta Division. Only two records I managed to get exactly right, and even then only one with perfect accuracy (Tornado). I had Monty struggling early with the new entrants, only to storm back in the second half, and I admit I was wildly optimistic on Delight; I had hoped she'd fare better by now. Biggest early surprise: Nocturne. With the way she tore through the Omega Division, I figured she'd do better in the big leagues (so to speak). Alas, a win against Jun Onoo is her only highlight of the season so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
