John Lions Posted Tuesday at 10:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:47 PM New Wave & Human Arsenal [vs] Joshua Taylor, Masatochi Kamimura & Chris Flynn I think a loss from the vets here does more to drive the wedge that seems to be forming between Human Arsenal and the New Wave. If I recall correctly, Arsenal was formerly a member of the Syndicate with Brent Hill, right? He might be who Wolf sways back to his side to land a blow on Doc for his betrayal. ‘Dynamic’ Duke Freeman [vs] The Masked Mauler VII I think it's pretty clear that for the moment, Mauler is a jobber as he gets some reps under him, esp while Duke is involved in a storyline that gets weekly TV time AND has the blessed good chemistry with his partner. BATTLE ROYALE – Winner gets a shot at Mighty Mo’s Television Title: T-Bone Bright | Dazzling Dave Diamond | Flint Slater | Jaylon Martins | Nate Johnson | Eddie Chandler | Bradford Peverell Bart Biggins | Marc Speed | Seth Whitehead | Nick Booth | Benny Benson | Flying Jimmy Foxx | Chance Fortune | Darryl Devine Tough one. I think T-Bone is too obvious (could bite me on that). Flint has bad chem with Mo so I can't see that getting run back. Diamond could end up winning this battle royal and maybe even the title to get it back in your midcard where it belongs and have it be a fun setpiece for the story you're telling with the trio. TCW World Tag Team Title Match: The American Cobras [vs] The Main Event (c) w/ Laura Hocking The Cobras put in a good effort in their first title match but fall short - Remus and Hocking have been doing great and I can't see them losing on free TV without more personal build up. Greg Gauge [vs] Mighty Mo The TV champion takes the L but hopefully shows you enough that he's worth giving a bigger role than just TV champion in the coming months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lloyd Posted Wednesday at 07:19 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 07:19 PM TCW Presents: Tuesday, March 15th, 2022 Calling the action: Shawn Doakes, Kyle Rhodes and Jasmine Saunders Overall Rating: 78 Aaron ‘Ace’ Andrews headed to the ring to open the show, to a thunderous ovation… Aaron Andrews: “BATTLEGROUND is just around the corner…!! And on that night... we have Battleground, 4 on 4 Elimination Matches… aaaaand this year… I’m challenging Sammy Bach to choose a team… to take on MY team…!! HECK… If what you say is true, and you didn’t pay The Behemoths to take me out, then they probably won’t join you… if you’re lying… then you can just pay them again and bring ‘em along…” Andrews was interrupted by the music of Killer Shark and Titan, who stomped to the ring, with their squarky manager Floyd Goldworthy in tow… Floyd Goldworthy: “The Behemoths categorically reject the notion that they were PAID to take you out… We do WHAT we want… WHEN we want… BOYS…” Floyd pointed to the ring… and The Behemoths slowly slid in under the bottom rope… beginning to surround ‘Ace’, and obviously outnumber and outsize him… However… Ace had some help…!! The veteran Troy Tornado came running to the ring with a chair, and his presence alone was enough to make Shark and Titan think twice and slide back out under the ropes… Ace and Troy stood tall in the ring, with Troy then saying that he will JOIN Team Ace at Battleground!! One Man Army, Doc Hammond & Human Arsenal [vs] Joshua Taylor, Masatochi Kamimura & Chris Flynn Exceptional six-man tag match here, and it was great to see The New Wave make their entrance. They teamed with an old rival in Human Arsenal tonight, but all three seemed to be on the same page – right until the final moments of the match. A mis-communication saw Human Arsenal hit a big lariat on one of his partners: Doc Hammond, that sent him over the top rope and to the floor. Arsenal was aiming for Chris Flynn, who ducked the move, and then locked in his ‘Flynn Lock’ Single Boston Crab, and made Arsenal tap out! Winners: Joshua Taylor, Masatochi Kamimura & Chris Flynn Rating: 69 In a strange scene, Quentin ‘The Drama’ Queen, was backstage – showing us the video promo that Elliot Thomas cut from last week… Quentin Queen: “Oh no… Urgh… YUCK… What a DIVE new York is… what a horrible home town to be from… Not only that, I mean look at this over acting… Terrible… Stay at home Elliot… Your bad acting, and your stinky STENCH can stay in New York…” Queen continued to mock what Elliot was saying… which the young fan favourite won’t be happy about… ‘Dynamic’ Duke Freeman [vs] The Masked Mauler VII One-sided match here, with the strong young Texan able to dominate his big masked opponent. Freeman won it with a Back Suplex. Winner: Duke Freeman Rating: 39 We learned that NEXT WEEK… Duke Freeman, together with Dazzling Dave Diamond and Bradley Blaze, would be announcing their new ‘Business Venture’ together… The Trio of Texans certainly get along… but what company have they formed…!? Wolf Hawkins was backstage next, with the remaining members of The Syndicate: Jaylon Martins and Flint Slater… Wolf Hawkins: “You’re BOTH on my team for Battleground… But tonight… in that Battle Royale… I need you to make sure Tana The Mighty does NOT win…!! You hear me… and you better not let me dow… Well well well…” Wolf Hawkins: “Leave us…” Against their better judgement, and very reluctantly, Martins and Slater left the room… leaving their leader Wolf Hawkins and fan favourite Greg Gauge, stood eye to eye… Wolf Hawkins: “And what can I do for you…?” Greg Gauge: “My Father always spoke highly of you… Maybe, you could give me some advice…?” Wolf smiled a sadistic smile… and the scene ended before we could hear what advice Gauge needed, or what advice Wolf gave him… A late swap saw big Tana The Mighty replace Dazzling Dave Diamond due to travel restrictions for this Battle Royale... Apologies, I should have updated the pre-show prediction contest! 15-Man Battle Royale: Winner gets a shot at the TCW Television Title: T-Bone Bright | Flint Slater | Jaylon Martins | Nate Johnson | Eddie Chandler Tana The Mighty | Bradford Peverell | Bart Biggins | Marc Speed | Seth Whitehead Nick Booth | Benny Benson | Flying Jimmy Foxx | Darryl Devine | Chance Fortune Always fun to see a Battle Royale, and this one had some very talented youngsters, like Seth Whitehead, Jaylon Martins and Nick Booth, rubbing shoulders with veterans and legends like Tana The Mighty, Chance Fortune and The Elite. Nate Johnson and Eddie Chandler were actually responsible for the first elimination here, as they worked together to remove Benny Benson from the match! Soon after, his tag team partner Flying Jimmy Foxx met the same fate – this time at the hands of former MMA fighter Flint Slater. Slater was at it again moments later, as he tipped both Chance Fortune and Bart Biggins out before turning his attention to Tana The Mighty. The big Samoan needed four guys to try and take him down – and he proved his dominance with the elimination of Marc Speed, bringing us to 10 remaining. T-Bone Bright was in trouble at the hands of The Elite and Seth Whitehead, but the latter caught Tana The Mighty with a brutal elbow as he came in to try to help, and the pain of the eye shot angered the huge Samoan. Tana hit a lariat on Seth that spun him inside out, and then tipped Nate Johnson and Eddie Chandler over the ropes and onto the apron. Tana then scooped up Whitehead, and used him as a weapon to knock The Elite to the floor and out of the match, before dumping Whitehead out the same side. T-Bone thanked Tana, but their mutual respect was short lived. Jaylon Martins’ attack failed, as Tana flipped him over as he came running in. The 22 year old was then flipped out of the ring, but out of nowhere, Flint Slater came up behind Tana, and used all his power to eliminate one of the favourites for the entire match! The Final 5 contained a couple of shocks, with Darryl Devine somehow still in there. Devine had a great performance, but he didn’t make it to the Final 4, because Nick Booth began to come alive and start eliminating people. Bradford Peverell, bandaged hand and all, soon followed the fan favourite tag team specialist. Booth and Slater began teaming up next to try to take T-Bone Bright out, but they couldn’t handle the power and explosiveness of the former Television Champion, and current King of Kings Tournament holder. Bright was caught with a flying European Uppercut from Booth at one point, but as Booth came running over to try to eliminate the big man, Bright was able to use his momentum against him, and tip him over the top ropes. Bright and Slater were the final two here, and again, the former MMA star Slater controlled things by slowing them down, and using holds on T-Bone’s legs. One figure-four leg-lock actually made T-Bone tap out!! Slater was delighted, and got up to celebrate. However, the referee reminded him that the only way to win the match was by elimination via the top rope! Before Flint could say anymore, in came T-Bone Bright, for his ‘T-Bone Lariat’, where they cross in the middle of the ring! It served him well here, because he scooped Flint up off the matt, and threw him out. And now T-Bone Bright will take on Mighty Mo in a re-match from their War To Settle The Score battle! Winner: T-Bone Bright Rating: 62 The New Wave were backstage next, when legendary announcer Jason Azaria walked up for an interview… The legendary tag team were respectful of Azaria, who called their entire first run as a tag team… but he asked what it felt like to be BACK teaming as The New Wave… and if they were surprised by the cohesiveness of their opponents tonight – Joshua Taylor, Masatochi Kamimura and Chris Flynn… who beat the veterans, along with their friend and former rival, Human Arsenal… One Man Army: “If anybody thinks, at a combined age of 88 years old, that we’re just gonna waltz in here, announce we’re a tag team again, and then have everything our own way… they are sadly mistaken…!! There’s some great talent around this place… Younger talent, especially… We gotta work hard…” Doc Hammond: “Yeah, and we know we need to make some changes… change our focus… our diets… we gotta keep up with these younger guys… BUT… We also have to remind them… who the HELL we are…!!” One Man Army: “And that’s why… We have decided to revert back to our old names… As you know Jason… I… am GUIDE… and THIS… is SCOUT… THE NEW WAVE are BACK…!! And we’re coming for Gold…!!” w/ [PICS: American Cobras VS Main Event] The American Cobras [vs] The Main Event w/ Laura Hocking [c] Speaking of younger tag teams – The American Cobras got their Tag Team Title shot next, against the crafty and hateable Main Event! However, for much of the match, it looked as though Matt Hocking and Roderick Remus would be beaten by the fired-up Cobras! All four of these men can do it all, but in between the ropes is where Storm Spillane and Marvel Malloy excel. However, just as they were closing in on victory, using a variety of kicks and strikes – out came Jeremie Courtney and Vita! Vita climbed on the apron, but slipped, and seemed to injure her ankle! Spillane has won Championships all around the world, but he was naïve here, and checked on the gorgeous manager of Jeremie Courtney. So too did the referee, and with them both distracted, Courtney slid into the ring and dropped Marvel Malloy with one of the Championship Belts! As things settled down, Spillane was bundled out of the ring by Remus, as Hocking hit an elbow drop from the top rope to the out cold Malloy to win it! Winners: and STILL TCW World Tag Team Champions: The Main Event Rating: 66 Storm Spillane couldn’t believe it, but he just scooped up his partner, and helped him to the back… In the ring, The Main Event stable, that now seems to include Jeremie Courtney and Vita, stood in the ring and celebrated… It was all smiles, with the large group feeling pretty untouchable right now… However… Some mobile phone footage began to air on the big screen above the stage… Of Matt Hocking and Vita, out for their ‘Drinks’ this past weekend…!! Hocking was ALL OVER Vita…!! The slimy Tag Team Champion was flirting, touching her… and even leant in for a peck on the lips at one point… The camera kept panning to his WIFE Laura Hocking, who just stood stoic, but didn’t confront anyone… Matt Hocking was shouting for someone to turn the video off, and things got even more intense as he shared some food with her… before delivering the ‘gut punch’ to Laura… He KISSED Vita, passionately, and she reciprocated in a big way…!! The two left the scene hand in hand, and Matt was furious…!! Laura again, just stood there in shock… no anger from her… Greg Gauge [vs] Mighty Mo Incredible non-Title Main Event here, between two men whose paths will no doubt cross multiple times in the coming years. Both are on the top of their game right now, and both knew how big a win here would be for them. Gauge began brightly, but when Mighty Mo is able to create some space, few can stop him – he’s like dealing with a train coming on the tracks! Mo controlled the pace after a few fast-paced hits, and managed to score near fall after near fall. However, one thing we’ve learned about Gauge in recent months and years is that he can come back from most things, and can take an enormous amount of punishment. He needed to do exactly that here, but he did come back into it – eventually locking in the brutal and legendary ‘Proton Lock’ (Bridging Scorpion Deathlock) and making Mo finally tap out! Winner: Greg Gauge Rating: 85 Gauge had his hand raised, but the celebration was cut short when TCW World Heavyweight Champion Jay Chord came onto the stage… Jay Chord: “Gauge... I believe... That you have something for me...” Chord asked what the hold up was… and told Gauge to ‘show his hand’, and tell the Champion what collateral he’d be putting up in his quest for a Championship re-match at Battleground… Gauge was exhausted, and holding both his ribs and his head… but he stumbled across to grab a microphone… Greg Gauge: “Sorry for the delay… I was uhh… I was kinda busy…!! I was busy beatin’ a Champion… in the Main Event… Somethin’ I’m getting’ kinda used to…” Jay Chord: “Cut to the chase Gauge, we haven’t got all night…!!” Greg Gauge: “You’re right… you know… You're right… Time is runnin’ out… Time is runnin’ out on the show… and time is runnin’ out on your Title reign, and you… You know it don’t you…!!” Jay Chord: “ENOUGH… Just tell me what your collateral is…!! If I deem it good enough, I’ll defend this Title against you, again…!!” There was a deafening pause... Greg Gauge: “Yu know, my Father always said… Always have a back-up plan… an escape route in your mind… in case things go south… So at Battleground… YOUR TITLE… versus MY CAREER…!!!!!” Gauge’s words hung in the air, with Jay Chord in absolute shock… The fans were in shock… the announce team were in shock… Greg Gauge with everything to lose at Battleground, but will Jay Chord accept the challenge…?! Find out next week… 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I don't know about never winning a match, but they certainly won't have it ALL their own way. The Human Arsenal 'tension' story took another beat here, and they lost because of it. I promise I didn't steal the 'career on the line' idea from your brilliant PSW diary that everyone should read... I wrote it a while before I read it in your excellent work. Hope I can do it justice like you are!! On 9/22/2024 at 9:27 PM, AboardTheArk said: ‘Dynamic’ Duke Freeman [vs] The Masked Mauler VII The Mauler is such a good prospect but for some reason I'm not feeling him in TCW idk what it was when I even saw the data at first You've pretty much hit the nail on the head here. He's very good in some areas, and solid in most... he's young enough to improve also... I just don't see his gimmick / the Masked Mauler character, working in this product. I'm considering removing the mask and having a young prospect called Lawrence Miles (his real name) instead... we'll see... On 9/22/2024 at 11:20 PM, 619 said: Oh wow, the Sammy secret is out. I thought we might have to wait a while longer for the reveal, but it was a good call as I guess there's only so many credible ways to have it interrupted, and I can imagine if a crowd were kept waiting too long in a story like that, they might eventually turn on Troy for being an ineffective babyface. Instead, he's getting "and beyond" chants which I love. And the most intriguing phase of the story is arguably still to play out in how Bach's character evolves now he's exposed, and Aaron Andrews getting hold of him. Speaking of a story still having plenty of momentum after a major moment, The New Wave's next development was highly logical with Doc Hammond not just accepted as a mega babyface overnight and forgiven for his past misdemeanours, and the interesting story of Human Arsenal feeling deserted. I liked how this carried through to HA's match too with Hammond getting to tease a villainous act but showing he could be trusted, today at least. And in amongst all this development, Chris Flynn's streak builds too, so good business all round. Any disappointment fans would feel at being kept hanging on a week longer for the Gauge stipulation reveal is balanced by knowing they get Gauge v Mo too, which feels like a strong TV main event. I liked the Andrews v Bach cutback at the end of the episode too, paying off what we saw earlier and showing Ace's desperation to get his hands on him. Thanks man, just kind of leaning in to the 'Troy Story' reference with the 'And Beyond' chants Really appreciate all the positivity and feedback - it's always appreciated. You make me see things I didn't even realise sometimes, like how the crowd could have turned on Troy for being rubbish and not getting 'the truth' out. I guess if I was to sum up the Sammy reveal, it's a bit unfinished... I didn't want him to just come out and say "it was me Austin!! it was me all along..." or explain his actions... "I did it, for the Rock"... More that he gave them a body bag... so what...?! What does that actually prove...?? The next two PPVs are 'Survivor Series' (Battleground) and 'The Royal Rumble' (Where Angels Fear To Tread), so they don't have to pay off their singles match until Total Mayhem XXVI... At which point, Sammy may have spent some time convincing Ace he CAN be trusted, and he DIDN'T pay the Behemoths to do his bidding... Andrews is going to have to question everything! 20 hours ago, John Lions said: New Wave & Human Arsenal [vs] Joshua Taylor, Masatochi Kamimura & Chris Flynn I think a loss from the vets here does more to drive the wedge that seems to be forming between Human Arsenal and the New Wave.

The Lloyd Posted Wednesday at 08:15 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 08:15 PM Tuesday, March 15th, 2022 **Quotes taken directly from Vibert’s Podcast** Phil Vibert here, and… well… I guess you all heard Greg Gauge’s promo from the end of Total Wrestling…? He’s willing to put his TCW Career on the line, for another shot at the TCW World Heavyweight Title… Now… Unless he knows something I don’t, Greg just signed an extension to his contract with TCW… There were offers from other companies, but it was my understanding that he turned them all down for the offer presented by BriCo and Kyle Rhodes… I’ll have to do some digging here… Really enjoyable Quentin Queen segment tonight… He ‘critiqued’ Elliot Thomas’ promo video from last week… ‘The Drama’ in him couldn’t help himself I guess…? Thoughts are, these two under 30-year-olds will have a nice little lower card feud in the coming weeks and months… Speaking of videos… Matt Hocking you naughty little boy… Married… To his friend’s sister no less… and yet he does THAT, with Vita…?! I mean, I get it… She’s Swedish… She’s seductive… She’s gorgeous… but Matt, you’re MARRIED, my man… This ‘Main Event’ group is sure to implode now, with Laura witnessing that live in front of the fans… Jeremie Courtney tried to worm his way in, in Freddy Huggins’ absence, but he’s wormed… and seemingly brought along a SNAKE in Vita… Looks like the two Traditional 4 on 4 Battleground Matches have been confirmed… with lineups still to be decided… Tana The Mighty + 3 [vs] The Syndicate (Hawkins, Martins and Slater) + 1 And Aaron Andrews and Troy Tornado + 2 [vs] Sammy Bach + 3 No prizes for figuring out some of who else is going to be involved in these ones… And T-Bone Bright gets another chance at Mighty Mo and the Television Title at Battleground… CAN HE hit the ‘T-Bone Lariat’ this time…?! He missed his devastating finisher FOUR TIMES in their first battle… but can he hit it once this time, and score the win? Elsewhere in wrestling, former 21CW World Champion Edward Cornell has a new team in USPW – with Outlaw Wes Ravell… like a comedy / odd couple pairing. Not sure how happy Cornell is, but they won their debut – defeating Grandmaster Phunk and his protégé Jimmy Chipolata in a fun match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Machines. You then had a bunch of fun characters who were also in their prime (Peak, Ino, Law, Bach) and some with amazing potential (Minnesota/Morgan, Golden, Andrews, Chord). Great show again this week, interested where the Vita angle will go. And I feel bad for Elliot T... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alliegolem Posted yesterday at 04:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:55 AM Congratulations on re-signing Greg Gauge! Good to know he's gonna be a big piece for the foreseeable future. Unless he loses this upcoming match with Jay Chord. Assuming Chord accepts the stipulation. We'll see, won't we? It's interesting that Matt Hocking stepping out on Laura is the way you're going. because Freddy can't defend Laura's honor, he's injured, so I'm really curious to see what happens from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair's favourite diary writer Heck of a Syndicate line up that! Blimey! My current line up doesn't touch that does it. Wolf is great, but he's no Tommy... Then Martins and Slater aren't The Machines!! Got some work to do!! Thank you. I may have mentioned at the start that Jeremie Courtney and Elliot Thomas were two 'projects' of mine... where... they're both alright / decent, but not world beaters. I could have cut them both loose, but I thought I'd challenge myself to find them a bigger role. I've written the next 8 shows, including 2 ppvs, so I can confidently say they're both doing well so far I've got big plans for them too, so so far it's mission accomplished. 9 hours ago, alliegolem said: Congratulations on re-signing Greg Gauge!

Ape's PSW feud has BOTH guys' careers on the line, making it impossible to guess which way it'll go. Here I feel like everyone is going to think Gauge will win, because surely I didn't let him go to a rival... But that may also be what I wanted you to think... 👀 Freddy isn't around... Laura seems to not be doing a THING about it either... Hocking might get away with this...

The Lloyd Posted yesterday at 02:27 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:27 PM Monday, March 21st, 2022 Pro Wrestling Reporter – An Article by Greg Sluchinski Coming up this week, on TCW Total Wrestling… An interesting week for TCW… with Greg Gauge’s contract status seemingly unknown… We were all reliably informed that he, along with Jay Chord and Sammy Bach, were all tied down to long contracts earlier this year… But could that have been mis-information? Is Greg indeed heading elsewhere after Battleground…?! Or… the option not a lot of people are talking about, is that he just WINS the TCW World Heavyweight Title…!! We’re going to see Greg and Jay Chord in the ring together to open the show… thoughts are, Jay will ACCEPT Gauge’s career as collateral… Tana The Mighty, Sammy Bach, Wolf Hawkins and Aaron Andrews will ALL confirm their Battleground teams this week… and The Texan Connection (Duke Freeman, Dazzling Dave Diamond and Bradley Blaze) will reveal the plans they’ve been talking about for months – their new Business Venture…!! Elsewhere, T-Bone Bright versus Eddie Chandler is an interesting fight… and Chris Flynn’s undefeated streak could hit a bump in the road, the size of the ‘Hands of Stone’ Bradford Peverell, whose left hand is still bothering him, but could still be a test too far for ‘The Stud’… Predictions for: TCW Total Wrestling - Tuesday, March 22nd, 2022 Bart Biggins [vs] ‘The J-Train’ Jaylon Martins w/ The Syndicate Elliot Thomas [vs] Quentin ‘The Drama’ Queen Devine Fortune [vs] Can’t Catch This ‘Hands of Stone’ Bradford Peverell [vs] ‘The Stud’ Chris Flynn T-Bone Bright [vs] ‘Fabulous’ Eddie Chandler w/ Nate Johnson Aaron Andrews & Troy Tornado [vs] ??? Bonus: Who will be Andrews and Troy’s opponents in the Main Event…? __________________ *NOTE* Last week's show was out of 5, and was my lowest predicted on show of the diary... This week it's a 7-pointer, so a great chance to boost your score and be in with a chance to win a middling prize... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lions Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Bart Biggins [vs] ‘The J-Train’ Jaylon Martins w/ The Syndicate You said it yourself that the new version of the Syndicate needs some work to do to get to the levels of the old one. If Jaylon Martins can't beat Biggins with all of his boys at ringside, what value does he bring to the Syndicate. UNLESS this is a way to make Wolf realize he needs a veteran right hand under him and prompts him to bring in an unappreciated Mr. Anderson... Elliot Thomas [vs] Quentin ‘The Drama’ Queen Tough one because this could really go either way... Queen winning would be the typical chase for the babyface to get his win back especially if Quentin doesn't win cleanly... but given the dynamic where Queen was the guy who called his shot and ran his mouth about Thomas, him winning and then Queen chasing him for the rematch could make sense too. Devine Fortune [vs] Can’t Catch This I still don't have a good feel for the "power levels" of your tag teams yet with some exceptions. I am leaning on the new technical team to get the win. Excluding the veterans that would give you three heel teams with very different dynamics (them, The Behemoths, and The Main Event) to act as foils for your face teams. ‘Hands of Stone’ Bradford Peverell [vs] ‘The Stud’ Chris Flynn I don't see Flynn's streak coming to a head until he gets a title shot, it's been emphasized too much to be dropped to Bradford Peverell of all people. T-Bone Bright [vs] ‘Fabulous’ Eddie Chandler w/ Nate Johnson The Elite do their jobs of making the stars look good. Aaron Andrews & Troy Tornado [vs] ??? I have a feeling the ??? is the other competitors in the War Games match (Sammy Bach + X) but I can't for the life of me figure out who Bach's partner would be. Part of me thinks maybe Teddy Powell? But he might be too washed at this point and it might not be worth since I think the two still hate each other in-game. Going with the safer option that it's The Behemoths and they get a pin on Troy to give Bach's team a real threat to win it all. Bonus: Who will be Andrews and Troy’s opponents in the Main Event…?
