Day #4 - 09/04/2020!

===============================================================

Prelim Tag Match #1.

Jenn Drew & Bellamy Parteabon v. Jansen Myrrh & Teresa Duke

This tag team match was another rough one for Jenn and Bellamy, but the two of them were starting to show some good teamwork, as were Jansen and Teresa. The two teams battled back and forth with one another, putting on a good show for the crowd to kick things off with the action for the day. In the end though, it was Teresa hitting Jenn with The Candy Wrapper and picking up the win for her team.

Winners: Jansen Myrrh and Teresa Duke

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Prelim Tag Match #2.

Ronnie North & Eleni Costa v. Queen's Guard

This match was a display in tag team work by The Queen’s Guard. Moe and Lluvia were in full control for pretty much all of this match. The two of them were simply putting on a clinic and they were showing everyone that they should still be considered a top tag team here in NFW and in consideration for another title opportunity. Eventually, they would deliver Neon Genesis: Evangelion on Ronnie and Lluvia would hook the leg and pick up the victory.

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Prelim Tag Match #3.

Griffin Hawkins & Leo Cook v. Runa Olsen and River Chance

This match was once again a tough one for Runa and River. Griffin and Leo took control early on and Runa and River were having a hard time turning things around for their team. Griffin and Leo focused on Runa for most of this match, but Runa was eventually able to find her way to her corner and she made the tag to River. Much like on Day two, River came in and started cleaning house. River would take control of the match, but even then, she couldn’t overcome the numbers. She would tag Runa back in, and Runa fought valiantly, but eventually, she fell to The Leo Special by Leo Cook.

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Prelim Tag Match #4.

Damon Cross & Danni Anderson v. Layla Diaz & Jed Coffey

If a preliminary tag team match was going to steal the show tonight, this was the one that would have done it. These two teams showed excellent team work as neither one was able to get a clear advantage over the other for most of this match. The crowd in attendance was loving every moment of it too. Eventually though, we would see Layla hit Damon with the Southside Cutta and pick up the win for her team.

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Prelim Tag Match #5.

Graham Baker & Adrianna Salvatore v. Super Tiger & FM Young

Once again, we saw Graham and Adrianna trying to one up each other in this match when either of them were in the ring. This time however, Adrianna specifically called out Super Tiger at one point. The two of them battled and the crowd was absolutely loving it. Eventually though, Graham would tag himself into the match much to the dismay of the crowd. You could see the look on Tiger’s face though as Graham stepped into the match. She went right after him, showing an anger that hasn’t ever truly been witnessed from her here in NFW. But Tiger let the anger get the best of her as Graham was able to deliver 1789 and hook the leg and pick up the win.

Result: Pinfall

B Block

Match #1.

Debby Haze v. Sela Rica-Lark

The first Block match of Day 4 started off with a bit of a bang as Haze and Sela locked up in the center of the ring. Haze tried to press the advantage but Sela reversed the direction and pressed her back into the corner where she started laying into her with some brutal forearms and kicks to the midsection. The referee made it to the count of 4 before Sela backed off but only so she could cross the ring and come running back at Debby, looking for an attack. Debby was ready, however, hopping up onto the middle turnbuckle and met Sela with a hurricanrana to the mat, followed by a basement dropkick right to the chest off the ropes. The Disco Queen was on fire and burning with desire for this match but the Underground Queen had come to play and didn’t exactly care about playing fair. After a couple minutes of Debby having control of the match, Sela raked the eyes and took the reins again. Debby Haze went for a springboard, back off the ropes into a crossbody block but Sela countered with a shocking No Saves, mule kicking her out of the air and quickly scoring the Shining Wizard portion afterwards. She topped things off with a brutal Just For Fun before making the cover and scoring the pinfall.

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Match #2.

Morgan Payne v. Emevlas Stastias

Fresh off a Day 2 loss from Cass Baumer, Morgan Payne wasn’t too in the mood for trickery or games. She showed this much when Emevlas Stastias tried to feign a lockup and went for a cheap kick to the midsection. Payne caught the foot, staring at Stastias with a look of murder in her eyes and twisted her opponent around, coming in with a short range lariat from hell right there. Payne wasted no time, throwing Stastias into the corner and unloading with knees from a Muay Thai Clinch, followed by an early attempt at Yoi Yoi Double Yoi but Stastias slipped out of the ring before Payne could make the dropkick and, instead, caught her by the feet and yanked her out of the ring where she turned the tables on the outside, running Payne off of the apron and barricades and bouncing her head off of the steps. She did some jawjacking after each maneuver which seemed to just piss the fans off more, even boasting a bit after throwing Morgan back into the ring before she, herself, climbed back in. She threw Payne into a corner and climbed up for a set of mounted punches, pausing to count each one of them. This got her about four shots in before she went for the fifth and Morgan Payne nailed her with Liver Shot right there, causing her to fall back to the mat and stumble away, clutching her midsection. As she got back to her feet, Morgan exploded out of the corner, delivering Faugh A Ballagh before lifting her up across her shoulders and hitting Dahntahn After Dahk for the pinfall.

===============================================================

Match #3.

Cass Baumer v. Remi Fontaine

Day 4 continued on a hot roll as Baumer and Fontaine kicked off the middle match with a technical display, chain wrestling back and forth across the mat until Fontaine got the advantage with a kick to the midsection and a DDT. He controlled much of the match for the first several minutes but Baumer persevered, using her ingenuity to keep Fontaine on his toes, outsmarting him around the ring where she could. Fontaine caught on, eventually, and kept the rest of the match in the ring when it was clear that Cass was trying to lure him outside. The Rebel Angel stayed on top of the Headliner when she came to get back into the ring. Cass fought Remi out onto the apron and attempted Fly By Night but ran right into a knee to the head, followed by a Sunset Flip Powerbomb for a near cover. Cass continued to show her resilience as the two fought on until she was able to deliver Miramira for the pinfall.

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Match #4.

Angel Kash v. Maki

Call it Karma, call it “what goes around, comes around.” Either way, Angel Kash was looking for a bit of payback from yesterday’s tag matches as she kicked things off a little early, running down the ramp during Maki’s entrance to attack her from behind. Steele Matthews was there to cheer the Golden Queen on as she held control in a brawl against Maki around the ring; the referee trying to get them in the ring to officially get the match underway. Easier said than done, however, as Angel Kash simply kept throwing her hand in the referee’s face and Steele Matthews was working to keep the referee from interfering. It wasn’t until Kash’s manager pulled a chair from under the ring, looking to give it to her that Angel Kusanagi, garbed in her camo pants and GHB cutoff tee came sprinting down to ringside and went right for Steele. Kusanagi launched herself off of the steps onto the man and started raining blows down, commentary screaming and debating about whether or not this would get her fined for attacking a manager or not. Kusanagi grabbed the chair and cocked it back to wallop Steele with it but Kash grabbed it from her, causing Kusanagi to turn around. The Trillion Dollar Princess threatened to hit Kusanagi with it but the Japanese hothead just grinned and backed off. Kash dropped the chair, snapping her fingers with her sass, telling Kusanagi to back off before turning around and MAKIHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD!!! Maki and Kusanagi cheered obnoxiously at the turn of events before Maki finally threw Kash into the ring and crawled in after her. The referee called for the match to finally start as Kash picked herself up onto her feet. She turned back to face Maki, catching a second Makihouse Kick that knocked her flat on the mat, allowing Maki to make the cover for the pinfall. Essentially, from bell to bell, the shortest recorded match of the tournament, thus far. Maki celebrated at ringside, leaning on her wife as Angel Kusanagi slapped her in the chest and yelled in Japanese to the camera. Kusanagi drew “GHB AP” in the air, Maki threw a “too sweet” at the camera and the two retreated up the ramp.

Result: Pinfall

===============================================================

Match #5.

Minoru Tanahashi v. Anton Crowley

In our final match of the night, we saw Anton Crowley taking on Minoru Tanahashi. These two couldn’t be more opposite in terms of presentation in the ring and it made for one heck of an interesting match up. The two of them went back and forth in the opening five minutes of the match, neither one being able to find the upper hand. Eventually though, Minoru would find an opening and he would take over in the match. He kept Anton on the ropes, delivering a German suplex and following it up with a running senton. He’d climb to the top rope and deliver the Osaka Bomb that got him a nearfall. Minoru would go for the Black Lion Bomb, but Anton would counter out of it and deliver Lingchi. This would stagger and stun Minoru enough for Anton to then deliver the Fall and go for a cover, only to get a two count. Anton didn’t waver though as he delivered Ad Stellam Matutinam and hooked the leg on Minoru and picked up the win.

Result: Pinfall
