Day #5 - 09/07/2020!

Remi Fontaine started off, wanting to mix it up with his block opponent right at the start. They went back and forth for a bit, but Heidi and Emevlas were the more cohesive unit, taking Remi off the apron after a tag out to Layla, before laying into the fortune teller with a variety of double team moves. Layla managed to land on her feet after a double hip toss attempt, she tags Remi who takes Heidi down with a Big Bang Attack! As Layla catches Emevlas with a superkick that sends her to the outside. With HEIDI down, Remi went up top, connected with #GetWrecked! and got the pin.

Both teams showed some fantastic teamwork, which was no surprise when it came to Asian Persuasion, but how quickly Hazy and Sunshine gelled was. Both pulled off some great double team moves, but the cheap tactics of Angel kept her and Maki in control for the most part. Haze and Sunshine kept coming back and caused a rare miscue between Maki and Angel, causing them to bump heads which allowed Debby to connect with the Purple Haze on Maki. Haze covered and Sunshine took Kusanagi off the apron with a spear through the ropes, allowing her partner to get the pin and some momentum heading into her block match with Maki.


Cass Baumer started this off against Carter Slade, using her quickness to strike hard and fast before he managed to catch her as she tried to show some power with a Samoan Drop. He drove a few hard elbows down, then hit a Samoan drop of his own. Carter used the size advantage to wear Cass down before she countered a straight jacket neckbreaker, rocked him with an enziguri and made the tag Rotten came in on fire, laying into Slade for a bit with hard strikes and a few different DDT’s. Slade was able to counter the Punk Plex and hit a snap dragon suplex. Rotten rolled to her corner and Cass tagged, but as soon as she came in, Carter hit a massive flying knee, then planted the Silver Mountain Champion with The Killing Blow, only to have Angel Kash finally tag in, make the cover, and get the win for her team.

Sela demanded Anton start the match and as soon as the bell rang, they began to trade strikes, punches, and chops and elbows and knees, Sela and Anton are throwing hard and heavy early on neither one really getting the upper hand. Sela almost connects with the No Saves, but Crowley blocks, and both end up getting tagged out. Kate and Millisandre seemed to counter or reverse anything the other could do, the high flying style of the champ contrasting with the methodical grounded approach The Antediluvian Queen. Millisandre went for Bow Down, but Kate shoved her backward into the corner, Sela tagged in and charged with a spear, but Kate leaped up at the last second,. Came down on Sela with her knees, then connected with Comic-Kaze as Anton knocked Millisandre off the apron with the Ad Stellam Matutinam. The champ covered Sela and got the pin.

This was quite an interesting match as Minoru didn’t even bother getting on the ring apron after his entrance, instead he grabbed a soda and some popcorn and took a seat out in the crowd, to watch the match. Sativa just gave a little laugh and shrug as Morgan looked at him and said “Watch real close what happens to your goon jagoff.” Unfortunately, that gave the “goon” time to level Morgan with a clothesline. He scooped her up and put her right back down, pressing the advantage and wailing on Morgan Payne. Morgan fought back, tagged Sativa in and they started working over the mad man, but he just could not be put down. Morgan ended up clotheslining him up and over the ropes, sending them out to the floor where they started brawling. Sativa went to help her, but as she came close, Tren shoved Morgan back and she collided with Sativa, sending her partner crashing into the stairs. Morgan was furious now and the two brawled all over and out into the crowd until the ref reached the 20 count and ruled the match a double count-out.


Jansen came out swinging in this one, taking it to Jenn with a big headbutt and neckbreaker before she began to choke Drew, with the ref almost calling for a DQ. Jansen screamed at the ref allowing Jenn to start coming back, hitting her with quick strikes and springboard attacks, utilizing the ropes to bring the thick brawler down. Drew started focusing on the legs of Myrrh, taking her down with a chop block, then a front dropkick before getting caught with a lariat from hell for a near fall. Jansen took control back for a bit, laying into Drew with heavy strikes before getting caught with a basement dropkick and a tornado DDT, which allowed Drew to apply the STF. Jansen fought, scratching and clawing towards the ropes, but Jenn Drew has Jansen Myrrh right in the middle of the ring, and Myrrh was left with no choice, but to tap out.

Ronnie forewent his usual antics and instead went right at Lluvia Cane with a clothesline. Ronnie looked to use his size advantage early on, and really took the fight to Lluvia, and had her set for Little Something for the Ladies, but as he went for the second squat, Lluvia drove a knee down into his head, then planted him with a big swinging inverted DDT. Ronnie slowly got to his feet only to get caught with a leaping DDT, then Angelic Rebellion out of nowhere, taking the prince of pleasure down and leading to a fairly quick win for Lluvia Cane.

Runa wanted to start off strong with a running knee, but it was dodged. Hawkins went for South Of Heaven early, but Olsen blocked that, slips behind Griff, then hit him with a big dropkick to back and a clothesline. Runa did her best to keep Griff down, hitting a simple strike and a DDT or a neckbreaker, even a snap suplex. The offense outburst ended when she went for a German suplex though. Hawkins spun her around, caught her with an enziguri, and then connected with a sling blade for a 2 count. Hawkins looked for the Shot In The Dark, but Runa countered, spun him around, and leaped up for the House Call, only for Griffin to grab the ropes. As Runa slowly got up, Hawkins connected with the Shot In The Dark and made the cover for the win.

Layla Diaz was looking to gain some more points quickly as she came out aggressive with a running single leg dropkick that staggered Cross and allowed her to hit a step up hurricanrana. She charged back in and connected with a satellite DDT, sending Cross to the outside, but that proved to be no safer as she flew through the bottom and middle ropes with the lowpe suicida. Diaz stayed on the attack, using speed and all out aggression to really throw Cross off his game, controlling the early portion of the match and connecting with the double knees in the corner for a close near fall about 6 minutes into the match. Layla wasn’t wasting time and got Cross set for the CT-Knee, but he managed to block it, kept control of her arm and pulled her into a swinging neckbreaker. Cross decided to slow the match down a bit with a series of suplexes, and a big tornado DDT. Cross looked to hit the Dragonfire DDT, but Layla managed to shove him backwards into the corner. She connected with an enziguri, went to the other corner and again went for the double running knees, but all she connected with was turnbuckles. She stumbled out of the corner, her knees almost buckling when he blasted her with a yakuza kick. Layla looked out on her feet as Damon pulled her in, hauled her up and connected with the Black Crucifixion. He quickly covered and got the 1, 2, 3, remaining undefeated so far.

This one was a definite clash of styles, with Baker looking to keep things slow and grounded while Super Tiger went to the quick high flying style she was known for after mistakenly trying to trade shots with the man who was nearly a foot taller and weighed over twice as much as her. Tiger did show a lot of heart with forearms and kicks, really peppering Graham Baker with a flurry of strong style strikes, but five of hers didn’t quite equal on of his and he spent the early portion of the match using his size to his advantage, bludgeoning her with clotheslines, headbutts, European uppercuts, and suplexes. The Big One got him a near fall about ten minutes in, and he looked set to end Super Tiger with CLEAN THE BLADE, but she ducked it, slipped behind him and hit a German suplex that surprised everyone. Tiger followed with a sling blade that sent Baker rolling out of the ring, only to be caught with a suicide tornado DDT. Tiger fought to pull Baker to his feet and into the ring, then used the ropes to her advantage, hitting a big springboard dropkick. Tiger showed off her resolve, stamina and heart as she started coming back, pin balling all over the ring, hitting Baker with running kicks and springboard knees, wearing The Guillotine down while keeping her distance. Tiger has the crowd solidly behind her as she baits Baker into charging in with CLEAN THE BLADE once more, only to get caught with a drop toe hold that leaves him hung up on the middle rope, in perfect position for There And Back Again. With Baker dazed, Tiger springboards up and then hits the Tiger Snare, bending Baker’s leg at an awkward angle and causing him to stumble, which gives her the perfect opening for the Tiger Tamer. Super Tiger has the dangerous submission locked on in the dead center of the ring, but Baker will not tap. He scratches and claws at the mat, pulling himself to the ropes with pure upper body strength. Baker manages to just barely grab the bottom rope and Tiger lets up. Baker slowly pulls himself to his feet, only to catch a step up enziguri as soon as he turns back towards Tiger. Baker is spun right back around and Tiger again shows off her power with Starlight Express. As Tiger plants Baker on the top of his skull, she bridges into the pin, and gets the win to stay undefeated in the tournament.
