The League, Redux: Seasons 8 and Beyond Game Thread

[ShadowedFlames]

Fun (?) facts:

With all 15 matches now run, the combined play-by-play length for this show is 111 pages in MS Word.

Only two matches are shorter than 20 minutes, if memory serves (I’m currently away from the computer at the moment). There might be a third but I doubt it. One match is sub-10 minutes.

The final is the third TTT final to earn a 5* MOTY rating from Maven Deltzer. It is also the second final to be decided by only a two-fall margin; the last time both of these conditions were true was in Season Eight.

Season Eleven Midpoint Review, Commentary, & Predictions

 

Alpha Division

Predicted Top Two: George Mastachas, Nuclear Templeton

Predicted Middle Four: Brandy McDonald, Brian Blackfield, Mel O’Hallister, The Mastodon

Predicted Bottom Two: De’siree Mitchell, Jean-Paul Ouilette

 

Actual Top Two: Nuclear Templeton, George Mastachas

Actual Middle Four: Jean-Paul Ouilette, Brandy McDonald, Brian Blackfield, Mel O’Hallister

Actual Bottom Two: The Mastodon, De’siree Mitchell

 

You know, the only big surprise here is the swap between Mastodon and JPO. Completely unexpected, based on last season. Another, not so big surprise is Blackfield at 3-4. A losing record for the first time in his League career, and the loss to Nuke caused his total losses in Alpha to exceed his total losses in the other three divisions combined. He has definitely hit the wall, albeit a bit sooner than I expected. Alpha really is the top dawg of the divisions, ain’t it? Aside from that, Alpha continues as it did last season. Nuke and Mastachas battling it out at the top, Brandy and Mel in the middle, and De’siree near the bottom. Though it appears that she will not escape relegation this time. Fear for Beta if this is the case. Huh. If Kichi Hida is promoted and De’siree is relegated, that’ll be must see action. Interesting, yes? Now, to the character breakdowns.

Brandy McDonald is about as steady as she goes. A threat to anyone in the division, as being the 1 in Nuke’s 6-1 shows, but not a threat to the championship itself. Honestly, I think she’s found her permanent spot in the division, barring having to take some time off and thus falling to Beta. Seriously, there’s not a lot to be said here. It’s very clear that she’s become Alpha’s gatekeeper. The one who needs to be consistently overcome if they want the strap. That’s it.

 

Brian Blackfield has hit that Alpha wall. More losses in half a season than in the three full ones beforehand. I’d like to think that anyone who saw the differences between divisions could have seen this coming, especially after how hard Gross and Simmons bounced off the place last season. Can’t do that, though, and even I’m surprised at the fourth loss happening before the second half of the season. So he finds himself in an interesting position. The underdog. Can Blackfield rally to a respectable finish or even threaten for the title? Or will these struggles in the first have break him and have him wash out like Gross and Simmons? Gonna be interesting to see, I think.

 

De’siree Mitchell, on the other hand, is finally washing out of Alpha. 1-6 at the halfway mark, historically, means the wrestler is getting relegated by season’s end. I don’t expect her to prove the exception. It’s been a long time coming, honestly. Despite a few bright spots, she’s consistently been at the bottom of Alpha’s rankings for three friggin’ seasons. It makes perfect sense that inevitably she’d fail to avoid the axe. And yet…whoever’s in Beta will need to watch their backs. To be clear, De’siree is a jobber in Alpha only. In any other division she’s a serious threat to dominate the place, and I think we’ll see that next season.

 

George Mastachas is still doing his thing. The problem is that Nuke stepped his game up just a bit, and so the defending champ finds himself on the backfoot. He can’t afford any mistakes like that loss to Mel, and if he wants to retain his title he has to both remain dominant and beat Nuke in the rematch faster that Nuke beat him. At just under 15 minutes, it’s not an impossible task. Merely a challenging one. Good luck to him.

 

Jean-Paul Ouilette is Alpha’s big surprise of the season. Just about everyone expected him to be the whipping boy like Gross and Simmons were last season. Instead, he’s 4-3 and ranked third in the division behind Mastachas and Nuke. It’s wild stuff. Who knew, after how he’d struggled at times in Beta, that he had this in him? Not me, that’s for sure. Now, he’s not a threat to win the title. Getting squished by both Nuke and Mastachas shows that. He may well, however, be here to stay in Alpha.

 

Mel O’Hallister is still doing Mel O’Hallister things. Namely, being tough as hell to predict logically. He’s got wins against people who should’ve beat him, and losses against people he ought to be able to beat. And somehow being kind of midtable after all that. He’s a gatekeeper, too, but not as much of one as Brandy. He also needs to watch his back. He got a little lucky last season in that there were three obvious candidates for relegation at this point. This season, there’s just one. Mastodon could always step it up a level, after all. So last season’s 6-8 effort may get him relegated this time. Let’s go, Mel. Get scrappier.

 

I mean, what I can say about Nuclear Templeton? He’s 6-1. A threat to run the table in the second half. He’s very likely the champ this year, you know? Just a dominant performance all around. He’s not showing any signs of weakness aside from coming out extra flat against Brandy that time. As long as that doesn’t repeat more than once or twice in the second half, he’s golden. Literally. There’s nothing else to be said.

 

The Mastodon is having a rough one. My opinion of him drastically improved last season, but the more he struggles in this one, the louder the voices whispering “fluke” get. I think he can do better than 2-5, but he’s gonna have his work cut out for him avoiding relegation now. Those who’ve dodged it after such a woeful start are a short list, and they had help from other wrestlers tanking harder. He’s very likely not going to get that type of help from any of the middle quartet. So he’s got to rediscover what on earth made him so  good last season, and in a hurry.

 

End of Season Predictions

Champion: Nuclear Templeton

Staying in Alpha: George Mastachas, Jean-Paul Ouilette, Brandy McDonald, Brian Blackfield

Questionable: Mel O’Hallister, The Mastodon

Relegated to Beta: De’siree Mitchell

Basically I can’t see anyone tanking hard enough to alter the current rankings much. Which leaves Mel and Mastodon fighting over the second relegation slot. Bummer.

Beta Division

Predicted Top Two: Christian Priest, Reverend Johnny Gross

Predicted Middle Four: Billy Norris, Blood River, Lucas Molina, Yoshii Nakamatsu

Predicted Bottom Two: Angela Wasserman, Pulsar

 

Actual Top Two: Lucas Molina, Yoshii Nakamatsu

Actual Middle Four: Billy Norris, Reverend Johnny Gross, Christian Priest, Pulsar

Actual Bottom Four: Blood River, Angela Wasserman

 

Beta has proven to be quite surprising through half of the season. The two expected front runners struggling to reach that level, especially Gross early on. Molina and Nakamatsu taking advantage to take their places. Blood River tanking hard and Pulsar surprisingly not. But y’know, some things are constant. Like Billy Norris being a threat but not enough to lead the standings and Wasserman merrily jobbing away.

…yeah, that’s all I’ve got. Let’s move on to the character breakdowns.

 

Angela Wasserman L vs. Blood River (0-1 Season, 1-4 Career) L vs. Christian Priest (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Pulsar (1-0 Season, 3-0 Career) L vs. Lucas Molina (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Billy Norris (0-1 Season, 1-6 Career) L vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (0-1 Season, 0-3 Career) L vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (0-1 Season, 0-3 Career)	Billy Norris L vs. Pulsar (0-1 Season, 1-2 Career) L vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (0-1 Season, 2-1 Career) W vs. Lucas Molina (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (0-1 Season, 2-1 Career) W vs. Angela Wasserman (1-0 Season, 6-1 Career) L vs. Christian Priest (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Blood River (1-0 Season, 3-2 Career)
Blood River W vs. Angela Wasserman (1-0 Season, 4-1 Career) L vs. Lucas Molina (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Christian Priest (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (0-1 Season, 3-2 Career) L vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (0-1 Season, 1-2 Career) L vs. Pulsar (0-1 Season, 0-3 Career) L vs. Billy Norris (0-1 Season, 2-3 Career)	Christian Priest L vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Angela Wasserman (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Blood River (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Pulsar (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Lucas Molina (0-1 Season, 3-2 Career) W vs. Billy Norris (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career)
Lucas Molina W vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Blood River (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Billy Norris (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Angela Wasserman (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Christian Priest (1-0 Season, 2-3 Career) W vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Pulsar (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career)	Pulsar W vs. Billy Norris (1-0 Season, 2-1 Career) W vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (1-0 Season, 1-2 Career) L vs. Angela Wasserman (0-1 Season, 0-3 Career) L vs. Christian Priest (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (0-1 Season, 0-3 Career) W vs. Blood River (1-0 Season, 3-0 Career) L vs. Lucas Molina (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career)
Reverend Johnny Gross L vs. Lucas Molina (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Pulsar (0-1 Season, 2-1 Career) W vs. Yoshii Nakamatsu (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Billy Norris (1-0 Season, 1-2 Career) W vs. Blood River (1-0 Season, 2-1 Career) W vs. Angela Wasserman (1-0 Season, 3-0 Career) W vs. Christian Priest (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career)	Yoshii Nakamatsu W vs. Christian Priest (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Billy Norris (1-0 Season, 1-2 Career) L vs. Reverend Johnny Gross (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Blood River (1-0 Season, 2-3 Career) W vs. Pulsar (1-0 Season, 3-0 Career) L vs. Lucas Molina (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Angela Wasserman (1-0 Season, 3-0 Career)

 

Angela Wasserman I referred to as Beta’s gatekeeper a season ago. Considering her performance in the second half of Season Ten and the first half of this one, that can no longer be true. If it’s anyone, it’s Norris now. 1-6 speaks for itself, honestly. As I said above, she’s merrily jobbing away, most likely on her way down to Gamma. Her core problem is, as usual, her absolutely shoddy conditioning. We’ve seen her dominate the opening minutes of match after match, only to fade away and get beat. At this point she is who she is, and she’ll be doing it some more down in Gamma.

 

Billy Norris, by contrast, seems to actually have it together this season. Last season appears to have been a blip on the radar and he’s back to his threatening ways. Though as in Season Nine, he’s just a step back from the leaders. We will carefully note, however, that he’s the 1 in Molina’s 6-1 and one of Gross’s 3 losses. As I said just above, he does appear to be playing the role Beta’s gatekeeper this season. It’s up to him whether or not he achieves more or slips down lower.

 

Blood River is in total freefall. He hasn’t won since the first week of the season, and that was Wasserman. Hardly anything to brag about. The problem is pretty basic. Beta’s evolved since he first came up to it, and he hasn’t. He’s the same guy who was midtable in Season 9 and struggled some in Season 10. It was simply a matter o ftime before the jobbers below him were replaced with quality and those above him (because they’re Alpha Originals or promoted from Beta) to come down. Molina, Nakamatsu, Gross, and Priest are decidedly not Simmons, Ouilette, Clay, T. Stevens, or Weathers. He’s got to step up his game and evolve in some way or he’s simply cooked. That’s all there is to it.

 

Christian Priest is not doing Christian Priest things so far, and it’s weird. 4-3 is a perfectly respectable record for the first half, but this is Priest we’re talking about. He’s better than respectable. Or at least that’s what he’s been for the past three seasons. Is this the same guy that when 13-1 in Season Ten and 11-3 in Season Nine? I dunno man, it’s damn odd. Then again, maybe it’s a testament to the skills of Nakamatsu, Molina, and Gross that they’ve been able to beat him this season. At any rate, if he wants to promote for the third time in three seasons, he’s got to step it up a level. Right now he’s not quite making the cut.

 

Lucas Molina, on the other hand, absolutely is. He’s doing to Beta what Nuke is doing to Alpha, which is entirely unexpected given his struggles last season. He’s beaten everyone but Billy Norris and is in prime position to not just promote for the third time in three seasons, but win the division title outright. He’s apparently back in Season Nine form somehow, and he’s routinely popping out banger matches instead of the usual 1 or 2* snoozefests he used to do. Honestly I’m loving it. There’s nothing else to be said.

 

Pulsar is also surprising, though in his case it’s because not quite tanking. After three seasons of non stop jobbing, he’s managed to find something resembling footing. He beat Norris, Gross, and River, and had Nakamatsu cold if he didn’t miss with Zodiac Implosion. For Pulsar, that’s riding high. Will he fall back to Earth? I dunno. But with two wins above River and Wasserman, it’s gonna take one hell of a collapse for him to get relegated.

 

You’d be forgiven, I think, for thinking that Reverend Johnny Gross was finished after four weeks. 1-3, clearly struggling. Just not the same guy he was two seasons ago. And then Weeks 5 through 7 happened. 3 straight wins, including choking out Priest of all people. He’s surged most of the way back from that awful start. What remains to be seen is if he can sustain this. Rematches with the three who beat him (Molina, Pulsar, and Norris) loom, as does round 2 with Priest. It’s not gonna get any easier for him, but he’s not the kind of man who backs down for any reason.

 

Yoshii Nakamatsu is doing great. 5-2, bay bee. Only losses to Gross (sad at the time, acceptable in retrospect) and Molina (completely understandable). There’s really not a lot to say here. He’s been quite consistent from season to season, and that hasn’t changed. If anything, he’s getting better. He’ll be in the promotion mix at the end of the season, guaranteed.

 

End of Season Predictions

Promoted to Alpha: Lucas Molina

Probable: Christian Priest, Yoshii Nakamatsu

Staying in Beta: Reverend Johnny Gross, Billy Norris, Pulsar

Relegated to Gamma: Blood River, Angela Wasserman

I still believe Priest can pick it up a notch. A fast, dominant win over Nakamatsu can put him in the driver’s seat, as well as beating Gross in the rematch. River is too far behind Pulsar to come back, especially with a loss to him. Wasserman may have a shot…except everyone who beat her the first time is high likely to do it again. So oh, well.

Gamma Division

Predicted Top Three: Monty Dhillon, Diego Rodriguez, Indigo Rose

Predicted Middle Two: Lance Heartilly, Kichi Hida

Predicted Bottom Three: Big Scott Weathers, Markus Clay, Terrance Stevens

 

Actual Top Three: Monty Dhillon, Kichi Hida, Diego Rodriguez

Actual Middle Two: Markus Clay, Big Scott Weathers

Actual Bottom Three: Lance Heartilly, Indigo Rose, Terrance Stevens

 

Gamma is exploding with surprises. Yes, Monty is at the top and T. Stevens is at the bottom, but everything else is different. Rose has tanked. Heartilly has tanked. Kichi is dominating. Weathers and Clay are holding on in the middle somehow. Honestly, it looks like Delta last season. Three on top, and then everyone else scrabbling for what they can get underneath. Only instead of Heartilly, it’s Diego in the technician role and he’s in the spot Kichi was in after being soundly beaten by 1 and 2. Well, let’s get to the character breakdowns.

 

Big Scott Weathers W vs. Indigo Rose (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Terrance Stevens (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Diego Rodriguez (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Markus Clay (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Kichi Hida (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Lance Heartilly (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career)	Diego Rodriguez L vs. Kichi Hida (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Indigo Rose (1-0 Season, 3-2 Career) W vs. Markus Clay (1-0 Season, 3-0 Career) W vs. Big Scott Weathers (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Lance Heartilly (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Terrance Stevens (1-0 Season, 2-1 Career)
Indigo Rose L vs. Big Scott Weathers (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Diego Rodriguez (0-1 Season, 2-3 Career) L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Terrance Stevens (1-0 Season, 3-2 Career) L vs. Kichi Hida (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Lance Heartilly (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Markus Clay (1-0 Season, 3-2 Career)	Kichi Hida W vs. Diego Rodriguez (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Terrance Stevens (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Lance Heartilly (1-0 Season, 1-2 Career) L vs. Markus Clay (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Indigo Rose (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Big Scott Weathers (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 2-3 Career)
Lance Heartilly W vs. Terrance Stevens (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Markus Clay (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Kichi Hida (0-1 Season, 2-1 Career) L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 1-2 Career) L vs. Diego Rodriguez (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Indigo Rose (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Big Scott Weathers (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career)	Markus Clay L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Lance Heartilly (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Diego Rodriguez (0-1 Season, 0-3 Career) W vs. Kichi Hida (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Big Scott Weathers (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) L vs. Terrance Stevens (0-1 Season, 5-2 Career) L vs. Indigo Rose (0-1 Season, 2-3 Career)
Monty Dhillon W vs. Markus Clay (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Big Scott Weathers (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Indigo Rose (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Lance Heartilly (1-0 Season, 3-2 Career) W vs. Terrance Stevens (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Diego Rodriguez (1-0 Season, 1-0 Career) W vs. Kichi Hida (1-0 Season, 3-2 Career)	Terrance Stevens  L vs. Lance Heartilly (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Kichi Hida (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Big Scott Weathers (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) L vs. Indigo Rose (0-1 Season, 2-3 Career) L vs. Monty Dhillon (0-1 Season, 0-1 Career) W vs. Markus Clay (1-0 Season, 2-5 Career) L vs. Diego Rodriguez (0-1 Season, 1-2 Career)

 

Big Scott Weathers is…basically the same as usual. His 3 wins are against people having worse seasons than he is. Maybe he’ll skate and avoid relegation. And maybe he won’t. But he’s still pretty jobber-tastic.

 

Diego Rodriguez, on the other hand, is probably looking at a third straight season of being on the outside looking in. Monty and Kichi have both stomped holes in his ass soundly enough that it’s a safe bet that they’ll do it again in the rematch. So promotion is very likely out of his reach. Again. Well. At least he can pick up some more wins and thus OVR and XP, right? There’s always next season where (checks notes) most likely another technician in Nocturne and a big beefy buttkicker in Rock Sheridan will be coming up and most likely River and Wasserman will be falling down. Man, he might need to evolve his game a little. Work on his conditioning, maybe. Heh.

 

Indigo Rose has managed to completely fall apart. From 6-8 in Season Nine to 8-6 in Season Ten to now 2-5 halfway through Season Eleven. It’s gonna take a hell of a turnaround to get her to Season Nine’s final result. Said turnaround will also likely be required to avoid relegation. Like Diego, it seems she needs to evolve her game a little. 4 of her 5 losses are to people who weren’t in the division last year. Well, good luck to her.

 

Kichi Hida is a bullshit call away from being 6-1. This is shocking, considering the Kichi Hida of Seasons Nine and Ten got owned by technicians. And as there’s three technicians in Gamma this season, I was expecting at best 6-8 (because of course she was getting swept by Monty). Instead she’s looking like she’s going to take the second promotion slot behind Monty. Yeah. Sure. Okay. Man, this game’s weird huh?

 

Lance Heartilly, however, has turned out to be totally out of his depth out of Gamma. His 2 wins are against Rose and T. Stevens, who are about as hapless as he is this season. It’s strange, as he was so dominant last Season in Delta. At this rate he’s going right back. I can’t even say he needs to evolve his game. He’s barely established it. The best I can say is that he just wasn’t ready, I guess. He is, of course, welcome to attempt to prove me wrong in the second half.

 

Don’t be fooled by Markus Clay’s 3-4 record. It would be 2-5 except for pure bullshit. He’s still jobber-tastic. He’s still the guy who got lucky with Gibson stepping away. The second half of the season ought to show this. Still, that win (bullshit as it was), may prove crucial in avoiding relegation this time. We’ll see.

 

I don’t know what to say about Monty Dhillon. He’s undefeated. The only one that was even close was Kichi. Everyone else got squished. He’s probably going to go undefeated and win the division. That’s it.

 

Terrance Stevens is in the opposite situation. It took him six weeks to get his first win, and that was against Clay of all people. Nothing worth bragging about. It seems like he’s just merrily jobbing his way down to Delta.

 

End of Season Predictions

Promoted to Beta: Monty Dhillion, Kichi Hida

Staying in Gamma: Diego Rodriguez, Big Scott Weathers

Questionable: Markus Clay, Lance Heartilly, Indigo Rose

Relegated to Delta: Terrance Stevens

It’s pretty obvious that Monty and Kichi are running away with the division. Diego, being right behind them, will stick around. Big Scotty will find a way to hang around, even if that’s by being a shade better than the division’s jobbers. And yes, I do have it as a three way brawl for the second relegation spot.

Delta Division

Predicted Top Two: Nocturne, Sterling Silver

Predicted Middle Three: Leon de Ramos, Mickey Steele, Rock Sheridan

Predicted Bottom Three: Diamond, George Stevens, Scott Stevens

 

Actual Top Two: Nocturne, Rock Sheridan

Actual Middle Three: Diamond, Sterling Silver, Leon de Ramos

Actual Bottom Three: Scott Stevens, Mickey Steele, George Stevens

 

The only changes here are Rock for Silver and Steele for Diamond. They’re not HUGE surprises. Rock’s archetype has been pretty damn successful here (see Nuke, Mastodon, Priest, & Monty), and Diamond had to recover at some point. No better place to do it than the one where she’s got 50+ OVR more than anyone everyone. I joke, but I do think that it’s great that she’s doing well. I mean, I don’t have a lot to say here. Nocturne’s making her promotion case week by week. So is Rock. Silver’s made a great comeback. Leon is faltering a little after a hot start. Scott is doing better than lasts season. Steele is…well, allegedly he’s not made to be all that good. So…good job making him, I guess? And George is…well, I’ll just let his record speak for him. To the character breakdowns we go.

Like I was saying. I don’t expect a lot from Diamond anymore. 4-3 at the halfway mark is fine. It’s fine. I’m glad she’s doing well. I don’t trust it, but I’m glad she’s doing well. She’s picked up a mostly deserved rep as an erratic jobber, and if she can shed it down here in Delta, more power to her. The losses to Nocturne and Rock show that lol no, she’s not promoting. But as a primary PC, she can’t be relegated to Omega either, and she may well win just enough to escape that fate legitimately. We’ll just have to see.

 

George Stevens…man…look, 1-6 ought to speak for itself, all right? I’ve been kind of harsh of Scott in the past compared with NPCs, I think. And even George got it a little in my season preview thing. So y’know I’ll just say he’s not doing so well. Jobbed to everybody but Rock, which ain’t a dig but just the facts. Maybe he can do a little better in the second half. I dunno. I also don’t know if secondary PCs can be relegated or not, so I can’t comment on that other than to say he’ll probably be in the frame by season’s end.

 

Leon de Ramos looked like a major player with his hot start. In Week 5, you’d be forgiven for thinking he was going to be one of the top promotion candidates by the end of the season. And then he lost twice in a row, and well…4-3’s not a bad start, man. Honestly, for a rookie he’s doing pretty great. The form he’s in ought to see him stay out of the relegation frame, and it’s not like all hope for promotion is lost. He’s only a win behind the tied leaders. One of which (Nocturne) he’s even beaten. So y’know. Let’s see how the kid does in the second half.

 

Mickey Steele, by contrast, can only be called a disappointment. A dominant Omega performance turns into 2-5 at the season break. Unfortunate. At this rate, he’ll be in the relegation frame as much as George is likely to be. In fairness, he’s a pretty one dimensional striker with only a valet to add spice to his ring work, and I don’t believe he’s done any training he arrived in the League. So skills wise he’s falling behind more and more every week.

 

Nocturne is who I believed the division champion would be at the end of the season, and she’s performing like she’ll pull it off. She stumbled for a couple of weeks but recovered and is definitely on the shortlist to promote at season’s end. She’s doing just about everything right. Though with how Heartilly’s doing up in Gamma, promotion may not go as well for her as she’d like. But let’s not count chickens before their hatched. For now she’s in the division lead and going strong. She’s even got a win over Rock for said lead via tiebreaker. Nice.

 

Speaking of Rock Sheridan, he’s just a bit of a surprise. I thought I’d made him well, but this is going better than I thought it would. Though there’s a fun bit of synergy. Everyone Steele’s lost to, Rock’s beaten. And everyone Rock’s lost to, Steele’s beaten. I dunno, I just find that fun. Anyway, I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised. His archetype tends to do well here in the League. Just look at Nuke, Mastodon, Priest, and Dhillon. I just thought that it’d take him a season to warm up first. Apparently not, heh.

 

Scott Stevens is basically guaranteed to do better this season than he did last season. 4-10 then, 3-4 now. Barring a back half as bad as his brother’s first (which I don’t believe will happen) he’ll exceed last season’s win total. I don’t see him as a threat to promote, but this is absolutely progress. It is a good thing. As a primary PC he can’t be relegated. Since Delta’s relegation frame is so wide (at four), he may well be in it at the end of the season. If it was any other division’s size (two), however, he wouldn’t be. Again, quality progress. We love to see it. Next season we may see him challenging for promotion at last. Dunno, really, and we’re not countin’ chickens.

 

Sterling Silver is a tale of perseverance. A preseason favorite, she immediately lost three straight matches and looked completely hapless. She hasn’t’ lost since. It’s a heck of a comeback, comparable to that of Gross in Beta. From dead in the water to contention in four weeks. Well done. But she’s still got those early losses to Rock and Nocturne on her record, and they may be what keeps her from promoting this season. Assuming she can’t avenge them with haste. I don’t think, however, that she’ll be sent right back to Omega.

 

End of Season Predictions

Promoted to Gamma: Nocturne, Rock Sheridan

Staying in Delta: Sterling Silver, Leon de Ramos

Staying in Delta because Primary PC: Diamond, Scott Stevens

Relegated to Omega if possible: Mickey Steele, George Stevens

I mean, I’ve been pretty correct so far, why mess with success? Nocturne hasn’t looked like she’s about to collapse. Neither has Rock. Silver’s on a roll. Leon’s got enough in the tank. Diamon and Scott are still proving themselves to me. And the other two, well…their records speak for themselves thus far.

DAY 3: FINALS

(5) The First Church

vs

(7) Rampage Carnival

Bob Sinclair: Over six hours of in-ring action—which you viewers at home have had condensed into just over an hour—have led us to this point. We’re guaranteed new Tag Team Turmoil champions this season, Frankie. Who do you have in this one-hour matchup?

Frankie Garnett: Us, the people watching. This is going to be an hour full of violence and I am all here for it!

Bob Sinclair: I meant the winner of the match.

Frankie Garnett: I stand by my statement! But if you mean which team? Hida and Mastodon. I’m not about to get on Hida’s bad side with her out here for a full hour yet!

Bob Sinclair: Folks, it’s time to get the finals of Tag Team Turmoil underway. Everyone looks ready, and senior League official Jacob Smalls calls for the bell. Who will be the winners one hour from now?

Bob Sinclair: Not to mention, Frankie, that one of Mastodon’s major defenses has already been used and we’re not twenty minutes into the contest.

Frankie Garnett: That alone has the makings of a long rest of the night for Mastodon and Kichi, Bob….

Bob Sinclair: The First Church seems content to win the first fall by countout, Frankie, but they’re not going about it in a smart manner.

Frankie Garnett: No, Bob, it seems to me that they’re just looking to make Mastodon use some extra energy to get back into the ring to beat the count. They know he’s not in danger of being counted out for certain. It’s a delaying and wear-down tactic, simple as that.

Frankie Garnett: Bob, Mastodon’s been dealing with a lot of targeting to his head over the first half of this season. It appears Dhillon and Priest are going to do the same thing here and look to isolate the big man from the walking embodiment of violence pacing out on the apron.

Frankie Garnett: If this lead gets to four, it’s over, Bob. I do not see Mastodon and Hida coming back from four falls down.

Bob Sinclair: Remember, though…one of those two is Kichi Hida. The current record-holder for fastest League match on the main roster. She may be able to make up four falls almost in a minute by herself!

Frankie Garnett: I’m sorry, Bob, but even Kichi can’t do four in a minute. Three, I might buy. Four? No chance.

Frankie Garnett: I wasn’t aware Mastodon had a submission finisher in him, Bob. That’s going to be an interesting wrinkle to the second half of the Alpha Division schedule…

Bob Sinclair: That's not to mention...it's been rumored, though we have yet to see it this season, that Kichi has an adrenaline rush of her own.

Frankie Garnett: Then why haven't we already seen it in this match, Bob? Priest alone should have triggered it twice now!

Bob Sinclair: Honestly, Frankie, I'm not sure. Regardless, twenty minutes remain, and we are back to even. Who will gain the advantage with the next fall?

Bob Sinclair: To our Japanese-speaking viewers, I wish to apologize for the crude language Kichi Hida was just using.

Frankie Garnett: Wait, you know Japanese?

Bob Sinclair: Enough, Frankie. And let’s just say you do not want to hear a translated version of what Hida was just saying to referee Jacob Smalls….

Bob Sinclair: Be that as it may, Frankie, the record books will show that in Season Eleven, Christian Priest and Monty Dhillon have walked through hell and emerged as Tag Team Turmoil champions!

TRAINING AND PREDICTION DEADLINE: FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 2024 AT 11:59 PM EASTERN US!

[Croquemitaine]

 

 

The League is changing.

Who now has the strength to stand against the Violence of the Church and the Hammer?

To stand against the might of Priest and Dhillon, and the union of the Two Towers?

Priest had to kick out of not one but two finishers, plus how many times did Pastor Richards interfere, again? The First Church may have won the match, but they got pushed beyond the limit. Both were left bloodied and beaten to the limits of their endurance, as were both members of Rampage Carnival. The Carnival of Violence has been well represented this week. Kichi is, well, let's just say she's a very happy young lady right now. Rampage Carnival will return next season.

 

On the other hand, Grappling Geniuses was only ever going to be a one season deal, assuming neither them nor Emerald & Silver won it all. Since this didn't happen, the Irish Canadian Connection is highly likely to return...probably with a new and improved team name, to boot.

Regarding predictions...

	Eternal Phoenix	Croquemitaine	Derek B
Opening Round	7 correct	7 correct	7 correct

A winner is me. But I'm ineligible for my own prize, obviously, so Cro if you wanna talk I'm available via PM. If you don't that's also super cool. That's all until I do match predictions. No Quick Thoughts for Tag Team Turmoil.

[Derek B]

On a personal note, I can't believe that Brandy let Nuclear down like this!  Why oh why can't Nuclear find a deccent tag team partner **studiously ignores own attributes**  We all know that Nuclear can't be wrong, so it must be the children! **ignorance intensifies** If only there was someone in The League as good as Nuclear is so that we could form a good team! **ignoring other people reaches max level**  Oh well, time to take out the trash.....

[ShadowedFlames]

For the sake of full transparency, a rules/traits clarification that I’ll be adding to the errata on the first page of this thread this evening when I get home:

Due to the nature of Adrenaline Rushes being hard-coded in the WS3 engine to apply to Faces only, players are advised that purchasing an Adrenaline Rush for 2 TP as a Heel with no intention to change to a Face is strongly discouraged.

This was a wrinkle I didn’t know about until yesterday afternoon when trying to determine why Kichi Hida’s Hulk Up never triggered during the TTT finals. While I suppose it makes sense in the context of pro wrestling, I’d argue that nWo Hogan also used this at some point during the seventeen years (/sarcasm) that the nWo angle ran in WCW, and so it should be open to both sides: faces for the comeback sequence, heels as a “second wind” sort of thing.

However, that’s not the reality we live in so players are advised to be mindful of their alignment when selecting this Trait for their character!

[Croquemitaine]

Wait... Mastodon is a Face?!?

As I explained it to EP, who had the same reaction upon this discovery: “Mastodon was injury-prone pre-League. He kind of got used to welcome back babyface pops.”

Besides, you ever see him go to the eyes or below the belt in his MOTN writeups?

Edit to add: he was meant in my head to be a young Big Van Vader in terms of in-ring skills.

Just a quick one this week. Gotta catch up on two weeks of league results (TTT I swore was this upcoming weekend.. That said great to see Monty & Priest take it out).

[Derek B]

While Nuclear is clearly and obviously a babyface due to his heroic actions in tackling League corruption / bias and being the winningest person ever.... is he set as a heel or face because I don't remember what he's been up to with his adrenaline in a while 😛

Nuclear doesn’t even have an adrenaline rush. I went back through all the correspondence to be sure. And he’s a heel to boot.

 

EDIT: If things hold, this week’s MOTN is a 3*, roughly 20 minute contest. There are a handful of PCs not accounted for with training, so something may overtake that yet. But right now that’s the baseline for the write up this week.

THE LEAGUE: SEASON ELEVEN, WEEK EIGHT

 

DELTA DIVISION

(7) Mickey Steele (2-5, OVR 411)* (Favorite, 51.67%)

vs.

(8) George Stevens (1-6, OVR 406)

Bob Sinclair: Good evening, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone outside the binary! Welcome to the start of the second half of Season Eleven! As usual, sixteen matches on the card tonight, and also as usual we start in the Delta Division, with a match featuring two men who are desperate to get a win. Frankie Garnett, your thoughts?

Frankie Garnett: Bob, you know I’m usually a “size beats everything” guy. But from what I’ve seen of George Stevens so far this season, I’m not entirely sold on the concept in this one. Steele’s legs are dangerous in their own right and since he can use them to strike from outside George’s reach, I think that’s going to be the deciding factor here. Probably ten or eleven minutes, tops.

Bob Sinclair: All valid points, Frankie. Both men are already in the ring, with their seconds at ringside…here’s the bell and Week Eight is officially underway!

Bob Sinclair: …All right. I’m going to ask anyway. Why would shorter matches overall be a benefit?

Frankie Garnett: The attention span of the modern audience. We’re living in a world of TikTok and Twitter, where everything comes in bite-sized portions. No one really has the attention span for forty-minute epic matches.

Bob Sinclair: Some of the better-known matches in The League say otherwise, Frankie. Especially the Tag Team Turmoil finals.

Frankie Garnett: The exceptions that prove the rule, Bob.

Bob Sinclair: Wait…you’re just saying that so you can work less and get paid the same amount, aren’t you?

Frankie Garnett: …how did you--?

Bob Sinclair: I’ve known you too long, Frankie.

Bob Sinclair: Flush on the jaw, here’s the cover…one, two, three! A very competitive match to open the show, and Mickey Steele scores a crucial win!

Frankie Garnett: Stevens has nothing to be ashamed of, Bob. It’s rough coming right into Delta, and the fact that George is managing to make things competitive is a credit to him and his family!

Bob Sinclair: I’m not entirely sure that Cary would agree with you, Frankie. A family accustomed to success running into issues just getting a winning record? I have a feeling that the Stevens patriarch has had a few choice words for his sons in the last weeks….

Changes for Mickey Steele:  OVR + 5.92, XP + 666.21, minor damage to head

This was the Match of the Night (2 [2 this season] for Mickey Steele, 1 [1 this season] for George Stevens)

 

DELTA DIVISION

(5) Leon de Ramos (4-3, OVR 419)* (Favorite, 56.53%)

vs.

 (6) Scott Stevens (3-4, OVR 432)

To the credit of these two men, they did not act like the Match of the Night had opened the show, as they put on a match worthy of contention. Stevens controlled the opening three minutes, Leon the next four, and then it was back-and-forth for the remainder. Stevens at one point landed the Toxic Sting, but only got a one count as Leon was quick to pop a shoulder up. That seemed to incense Scott, and in hindsight would cost him the victory. Stevens got too aggressive, continually trying to go low against de Ramos, and one attempt too many missed that opened the door for de Ramos to wrap up Stevens in a cradle for the sudden pin. Despite the arguments of a fast count from Cary Stevens, Leon’s Lisbon Prayer is answered as he emerges from Week Eight with a win!

Leon de Ramos (5-3) def. Scott Stevens (3-5) via Pinfall (Lisbon Prayer) in 12:57.  Rating: ***

Changes for Leon de Ramos:  OVR + 4.86, XP + 526.73, minor damage to head

Changes for Scott Stevens:  OVR + 1.23, XP + 131.68, no notable damage

 

DELTA DIVISION

(2) Rock Sheridan (5-2, OVR 423)

vs.

(Favorite, 50.02%) (1) Nocturne (5-2, OVR 449)*

This match would determine the outright leader in the Delta Division. Additional pressure was on Sheridan here—a win slower than 11:38, and he’d still lose the tiebreaker to Nocturne going forward. Nocturne was aware of this, and came into the contest staying mainly on the defensive, taking what openings she could from Sheridan without exposing herself to additional offense. She seemed determined to land a flying forearm, and it took three separate misses before finally connecting, but in the interim she had opened herself up to a Tacoma Choke Slam. Sheridan would miss the follow-up lariat, and Nocturne went to the ropes to land a running bulldog. She then went right to the legs, locked in the ankle lock, and hung on tight as Sheridan was finally forced to tap. Nocturne earns the sweep, and finds herself in prime position with six matches remaining on the season!

DELTA DIVISION

(3) Diamond (4-3, OVR 496)*

vs.

 (Favorite, 53.68%) (4) Sterling Silver (4-3, OVR 462)

This was a fast-paced match, as one would expect from the two speediest wrestlers in the Delta Division. While not terribly exciting—after all, this was the fastest match of the night so far, it didn’t have time to get exciting—it was still a definitive finish as Silver went for a knee drop, missed it, and then ate a Jawjacker immediately afterward. Diamond finishes the sweep and now has her eyes set on the top of the division, and her goal of a return to the Gamma Division as she finds herself one match behind Nocturne for the division lead.

GAMMA DIVISION

(6) Lance Heartilly (2-5, OVR 454)

vs.

 (Favorite, 62.36%) (3) Diego Rodriguez (5-2, OVR 527)*

A good showing from both men, in a match that was a little too short for Match of the Night contention. Heartilly seemed to be well in control for a good portion of the contest, applying his trademark Arm Breaker a couple times on Rodriguez. The second time, Diego nearly tapped out before managing to find a way free of the hold…and from there, Rodriguez would not look back. Twice he would hit the Prelude to Dissonance, but instead of going for either of his signature submissions he utilized the stump puller—which seems to be a move a lot of technical grapplers are relying on these days—to force the submission and earn his sixth victory of the season, and League-best twenty-second in total via submission. Heartilly looked good in a losing effort—perhaps the best he’s looked in a while—but the threat of relegation is rapidly closing in.

GAMMA DIVISION

(2) Kichi Hida (5-2, OVR 482)* (Favorite, 51.90%)

vs.

 (7) Indigo Rose (2-5, OVR 500)

After the finals of Tag Team Turmoil, and how close Rampage Carnival came to making a comeback in the final minutes of the match, the crowd seemed to have thrown its support behind Hida. This seemed to confuse Hida a time or two during the contest, as she seemed a bit hesitant in her offense against Rose. The Italian grappler had no such issues, sticking to her usual offensive plan and letting Hida exhaust her opening surge of offense before wearing down her opponent considerably. At one point the referee was laid out following a reversed whip, and Rose managed to lock in the Vite d’Indaco, to no effect except to soften Hida up. Hida would attempt to fight back, and hit a couple of her trademarks, but the damage was too much. A second application of the Vite d’Indaco would do it, and Rose emerges with a minor upset in the Gamma Division!

GAMMA DIVISION SUBMISSION MATCH

(5) Big Scott Weathers (3-4, OVR 504) (Favorite, 54.93%)

vs.

(4) Markus Clay (3-4, OVR 491)*

This was ugly. No question about it. Sure, the match was okay for the first ten or eleven minutes. Then Weathers sent Clay to the floor and went out after him. After that it was like Weathers forgot that he had a sleeper hold finisher as he was content to use the environment at ringside to attempt to force a submission. Clay would take a shot at a submission as well, but the size of Weathers proved to be the difference. Wrapping a camera cable around the neck of Clay and then hoisting him onto Weather’s back like a sack of potatoes was enough as Clay tapped before he could be fully choked out.

BETA DIVISION

(8) Angela Wassermann (1-6, OVR 483)

vs.

 (Favorite, 73.58%) (1) Lucas Molina (6-1, OVR 503)*

Yeesh. Less said about this one, the better. A squash, plain and simple, with Wassermann getting next to no offense under the withering assault of Molina. A Molina Bodylock eventually, mercifully, put an end to the proceedings here tonight as Molina maintains his pace in the Beta Division.

BETA DIVISION

(7) Blood River (1-6, OVR 507) (Favorite, 54.83%)

vs.

 (2) Yoshii Nakamatsu (5-2, OVR 529)*

This was only marginally better than the previous match. Almost as nearly one-sided, River at least got some offense in to force Yoshii to fight from the defensive for a few seconds. In the end it was far too much for River to handle, and Nakamatsu maintains the gap between himself and Molina atop the Beta Division. For what it’s worth, the author is also surprised that despite their fortunes this season, River came in as the mathematical favorite based on historical data.

GAMMA DIVISION

(1) Monty Dhillon (7-0, OVR 549)* (Favorite, 75.79%)

vs.

 (8) Terrance Stevens (1-6, OVR 492)

This was never in doubt, and was never even close. Monty’s perfect season continues as Terrance was not even a speed bump in Monty’s path. It took less than six minutes for a Livewire Lariat to seal the deal in this one, and Dhillon rolls on to week nine with the streak intact. Yet despite a sub-six minute finish, this does not rank in the top ten fastest normal matches in League history, which shows you just how insanely high the bar has been set.

BETA DIVISION

(4) Reverend Johnny Gross (4-3, OVR 522)

vs.

 (Favorite, 53.18%) (3) Billy Norris (4-3, OVR 526)*

Aside from a five-minute span of offense from Norris, this was all Gross. Some would argue that even that five minutes was by Gross’ design, as he let Norris get enough momentum to attempt a top rope flying clothesline, only to walk away while Norris was in mid-flight. Norris landed hard on the mat, and Gross immediately pounced, locking in the dragon sleeper for the submission victory. The Right Reverend still has some ground to make up on the top two in the division, but he cannot be counted out of the hunt for promotion into Alpha quite yet!

ALPHA DIVISION SUBMISSION MATCH

(8) De'siree Mitchell (1-6, OVR 509)

vs.

 (Favorite, 81.62%) (5) Brian Blackfield (3-4, OVR 578)*

Many expected this encounter to go like the first one had. After all, Blackfield has a submission finisher. Mitchell does not. So naturally, the complete opposite happened, as Mitchell absolutely dominated this match, barely allowing Blackfield to get out of the gates. In the end, she would use a roughly-executed STF to force a submission out of Blackfield, who seemed bewildered by the furious onslaught from the former nose tackle. An overwhelming upset in the Alpha Division to kick off proceedings in the top division this week, which doesn’t matter to De’siree despite her form of match ratings this season. A win trumps a Match of the Night every time!

BETA DIVISION

(6) Pulsar (3-4, OVR 494)

vs.

 (Favorite, 71.94%) (5) Christian Priest (4-3, OVR 589)*

A good match, and mentioned as one of the better contests of the evening. Pulsar was at a distinct disadvantage in this one, having lost the first match earlier this season and giving up the size and a lot of popularity to one-half of the Tag Team Turmoil champions. Pulsar stuck to his speed, and found a modicum of success with it, but the problem was that in order to wear down Priest he’d have to get in close somehow, whether with strikes or through the air. That was when Priest was at his most dangerous, using his size and his power to batter Pulsar until the luchador could create more space to attempt to disorient the larger opponent. Pulsar’s attempts at high-risk offense would backfire, as a top rope missile dropkick missed, and later a top rope diving headbutt also missed, with the latter being turned immediately into a Martyrdom for the submission. Priest keeps his promotion hopes alive, moving up a spot to fourth in the rankings after losing the tiebreaker to Rev. Gross.

ALPHA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH

(6) Mel O'Hallister (3-4, OVR 541)

vs.

 (Favorite, 59.82%) (3) Jean-Paul Ouilette (4-3, OVR 536)*

O’Hallister seemed more determined this week to make up for his loss in their previous matchup. Ouilette made certain to make Mel pay for this, as he countered a fair bit of the Irishman’s offense. Sure, O’Hallister got his fair share of shots in, but not nearly as many of quality as JPO managed. Mel would never even get a chance to attempt an Irish Clover, much less the Dream, as Ouilette chained a Fleur de Lis into a new wrinkle in his arsenal, a crossface submission takedown he calls Se Soumettre. O’Hallister wasn’t ready for this, and tapped shortly after the hold was locked in. Ouilette continues his surprising run in Alpha, picking up a fifth win and moving ever-closer to clinching a second season in the Alpha Division.

ALPHA DIVISION

(2) George Mastachas (5-2, OVR 546)* (Favorite, 72.22%)

vs.

 (7) The Mastodon (2-5, OVR 535)

Not quite a squash, not quite a competitive match. Mastodon was still feeling the effects of the Tag Team Turmoil finals here, and the reigning League Champion made him pay. A hammerlock powerbomb preceded a Wrath of Zeus, and that was held for a full three count as Mastachas continues to mount a challenge to Nuclear Templeton atop the Alpha Division standings!

ALPHA DIVISION

(4) Brandy McDonald (4-3, OVR 535)*

vs.

 (Favorite, 74.23%) (1) Nuclear Templeton (6-1, OVR 556)

The main event of the evening proved to be the runner-up to the Match of the Night, as McDonald looked to prove why she was the lone blemish in Nuclear’s record this season. The two former champions traded offense for a good nine minutes before McDonald started to string two minutes’ worth of offense together, putting Templeton against the figurative ropes. When Brandy slipped out of a Power Surge, she went to the ropes looking to take out the knees of Templeton…

…only to be tripped up by “Rigor” Tony Mortis, who had until this point been silently pacing back and forth at ringside. One angle seemed to indicate that the trip was an honest mistake, a second made it look intentional, and neither one managed to get a face shot (much to the consternation of Will Prydor in the production area). Regardless of the intent, the referee ejected Mortis from the ringside area, and Nuclear took full advantage of the opening he had been given to bust open Brandy with some seated knuckle punches. Not even twenty seconds later, the Armageddon Lariat ended things, and Templeton emerges the winner after the most unlikely manager interference in League history!

(Author’s Note: remember that Tony Mortis has a 0 Manager Overall. Zero. And yet he still found a way to interfere. That makes the occurrence even more surprising than The Acolyte’s first interference a few seasons back.)

Week 8 Quick Thoughts (Man, Tag Team Turmoil was fun! I hope you guys enjoyed it too!)

 

Delta

Mickey Steele def. George Stevens

Leon de Ramos def. Scott Stevens

Nocturne def. Rock Sheridan

Diamond def. Sterling Silver

Nocturne takes sole possession of first place and second becomes a tiebreaker logjam. Silver’s hopes of winning the division are fading, but promotion is not yet out of reach. To say nothing of avoiding relegation.

 

Gamma

Diego Rodriguez def. Lance Heartilly

Indigo Rose def. Kichi Hida

Big Scott Weathers def. Markus Clay

Monty Dhillon def. Terrance Stevens

Kichi finally shows signs of weakness that have nothing to do with the unstoppable Monty. Diego takes care of business to slide into an unfamiliar position: Second place. And Rose may have finally found her form.

 

Beta

Lucas Molina def. Angela Wasserman

Yoshii Nakamatsu def. Blood River

Reverend Johnny Gross def. Billy Norris

Christian Priest def. Pulsar

The top dogs take care of business. I mean, you want something insightful from an upset free week in which (with respect to Norris who’s loss dropped him down) the top four beat up the bottom four? Uh…Gross must be happy he avenged his earlier loss? That’s all I got.

 

Alpha

De’siree Mitchell def. Brian Blackfield

Jean-Paul Ouilette def. Mel O’Hallister

George Mastachas def. The Mastodon

Nuclear Templeton def. Brandy McDonald

Blackfield in very unfamiliar territory now. JPO continues to pace the top two in Mastachas and Nuke. His losses to them must be on his mind. Meanwhile, the Greek champ and the League’s male walking incarnation of violence do what needs doing. And now all eyes turn to this week’s main event, where the two clash for the second and final time this season. A Nuke win means he might as well be crowned on the spot. A Mastachas win, however, turns the top of Alpha into chaos.

A Mastachas win, however, turns the top of Alpha into chaos.

As the guy who runs this thing, I’m all for chaos. Makes for a better narrative.

Besides, Nuclear must like chaos too given a 0 OVR Manager successfully interfering. Just sayin’, the recipe is right there.

This is another week where a division's big match vastly overshadows the rest. Nuke/Mastachas VIII is fundamentally the championship match. everybody else is fighting for third or lower.

 

CAGE MATCH: (1) Nuclear Templeton (7-1, OVR 561)* vs. (2) George Mastachas (6-2, OVR 550) [Career: Nuclear Templeton, 4 - 3]

As such, like hell I'll bet against Nuke again. Except for Molina next season, of course. Gotta support your dudes, right?

 

(5) Brian Blackfield (3-5, OVR 577) vs. (4) Brandy McDonald (4-4, OVR 536)* [Career: Brandy McDonald, 1 - 0]

I want to believe Blackfield has enough to stay above Brandy, at least.

JPO won this last time, in a much more violent match type, with a proper finisher. Not his, but a finisher. He's even got a submission finisher now. Boy, he's been a surprise this season.

De'siree has had Mel's number in the past. He overcame that last time, but he's flailing a bit and her rattling off impressive performances just netted her a win. So I think she's in better form overall.

 

BETA DIVISION

Implications up and down the card in Beta. Yoshii wants to keep pacing Molina, who wants to keep his lead. But they're both up against opponents they lost to the first time around. Priest probably has an easy night with River. And Wasserman/Pulsar is also here, with a strong chance for Wasserman to get a lead on River in the relegation race.

 

(4) Christian Priest (5-3, OVR 594)* vs. (7) Blood River (1-7, OVR 508) [Career: Christian Priest, 1 - 0]

Do I need to spell it out? River can't handle Priest on a good day, and he's been in freefall for weeks.

 

TABLES MATCH: (2) Yoshii Nakamatsu (6-2, OVR 533) vs. (3) Reverend Johnny Gross (5-3, OVR 526)* [Career: Reverend Johnny Gross, 1 - 0]

So here's the thing. I don't think Gross has very many moves that can break tables. I do think Yoshii has several. That's it.

 

(1) Lucas Molina (7-1, OVR 506) vs. (5) Billy Norris (4-4, OVR 527)* [Career: Billy Norris, 1 - 0]

In Round 1, Molina had only just introduced 2 of his new trio of signature moves. Plus he wasn't beaten with a finisher. The full trio is in, they've been significantly improved, and he's over 500 OVR so those more flukey wins won't be happening this time.

 

LAST ONE STANDING MATCH: (6) Pulsar (3-5, OVR 495) vs. (8) Angela Wassermann (1-7, OVR 482)* [Career: Angela Wassermann, 3 - 0]

Do I need to keep explaining how Wasserman has Pulsar's number? I don't know how, exactly, or why. But she does. That's just how it is.

 

GAMMA DIVISION

I dunno. Gamma feels a little dull this week? Monty's got a beatdown scheduled. Hida/Rodriguez is a rematch with deep promotion implications. Heartilly/Stevens has their team breakup storyline and deep relegation implications. And Rose/Weathers is just kinda there. I dunno, I'm just not feeling it.

 

(1) Monty Dhillon (8-0, OVR 551)* vs. (6) Markus Clay (3-5, OVR 491) [Career: Monty Dhillon, 1 - 0]

Barring a fluke, I don't see Monty losing to, well, anybody. Undefeated season, here he comes.

 

(3) Kichi Hida (5-3, OVR 482)* vs. (2) Diego Rodriguez (6-2, OVR 532) [Career: Kichi Hida, 1 - 0]

Let's see if the loss to Rose was a fluke or if her weakness to technicians has caught up to her hot start.

 

(5) Indigo Rose (3-5, OVR 504) vs. (4) Big Scott Weathers (4-4, OVR 507)* [Career: Big Scott Weathers, 1 - 0]

By the same token, Rose ought to be able to beat Weathers, and she needs to if she wants to escape the relegation frame.

 

(7) Lance Heartilly (2-6, OVR 455)* vs. (8) Terrance Stevens (1-7, OVR 491) [Career: Lance Heartilly, 1 - 0]

Two jobbers scrappin' at the bottom. At least the team breakup storyline buoys it from "who the hell cares?" territory.

 

DELTA DIVISION

Week 9 in Delta is a rerun of Week 7. Not that much has changed, except a couple of match types making things interesting.

 

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: (7) Mickey Steele (3-5, OVR 417) vs. (3) Diamond (5-3, OVR 499)* [Career: Diamond, 1 - 0]

I dunno, man. I just got a feeling.

 

TABLES MATCH: (6) Scott Stevens (3-5, OVR 433) vs. (1) Nocturne (6-2, OVR 452)* [Career: Nocturne, 2 - 1]

Nocturne doesn't really have any moves to put someone through a table. Scott here does.

 

(5) Sterling Silver (4-4, OVR 462)* vs. (4) Leon de Ramos (5-3, OVR 424) [Career: Sterling Silver, 1 - 0]

One week's difference is not enough to change my opinion on how this ought to go.

 

(8) George Stevens (1-7, OVR 408)* vs. (2) Rock Sheridan (5-3, OVR 423) [Career: George Stevens, 1 - 0]

Gotta bet on my guy, right? Last time it was a low blow, not a beatdown and a finisher. So let's see, I guess?
