Day #8 - 09/10/2020!

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

Prelim Tag Match #1.

Griffin Hawkins & Leo Cook v. Layla Diaz & Jed Coffey

This opening tag team match was a great back and forth battle between two teams that have been working quite well together this whole tournament. The two teams constantly were jockeying for position and momentum throughout it, but the team of Layla and Jed ended up proving to be a little too much for Leo and Griffin as Jed delivered Schmuck's Up, Schmuck's Down onto Leo and picked up the win for his team.

Winners: Layla Diaz and Jed Coffey

Result: Pinfall

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

Prelim Tag Match #2.

Damon Cross & Danni Anderson v. Ronnie North & Akane Suzuki

This was more domination than it was even a match between these two teams. Damon came out of the gate like a man possessed as he just ran through Ronnie and Akane. Damon dominated this match, practically by himself, but at the end, he tagged Danni in and allowed her to deliver A.D.H.D. on Akane and she covered her to pick up the win.

Result: Pinfall

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

Prelim Tag Match #3.

Jenn Drew & Bellamy Parteabon v. The Queen's Guard

Early on in this match, Jenn and Bellamy were showing great teamwork. They were firing on all cylinders against one of the top teams here in NFW. Eventually though, Moe was able to turn things around for her team and her and Lluvia began taking over the match. Eventually, the duo was able to land GANTZ Horizon on Jenn and Lluvia was able to hook the leg and pick up the win.

Winners:Queen’s Guard

Result: Pinfall

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

Prelim Tag Match #4.

Graham Baker & Adrianna Salvatore v. Runa Olsen & River Chance

To say Runa had it bad in this match was definitely an understatement. Graham and Adrianna used her as a personal punching bag and kicking dummy. One point in the match, we saw Adrianna and Graham alternating kicks to the back and chest of Runa, seemingly trying to see who could deliver harder kicks to the woman. River tried getting involved and helping her partner multiple times, but she was always cut off at the pass by either Graham or Adrianna. Finally though, Adrianna was able to deliver a MOAB Launcher to Runa, but Graham tagged himself into the match and he delivered The Big One and pinned Runa to pick up the win.

Result: Pinfall

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

Prelim Tag Match #5.

Super Tiger & FM Young v. Jansen Myrrh & Teresa Duke

Both of these teams have been working great together throughout this tournament. Both teams came out and both were showing amazing teamwork. The two teams fought for any sort of advantage, but neither one throughout most of this match was able to get it for more than a couple of minutes before the other would turn things around. In the end though, Jansen was able to counter There and Back Again from Super Tiger and she was able to lift Tiger up and deliver the Myrrh-driver on Tiger and hook the leg and pick up the win.

Result: Pinfall

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

B Block

Match #1.

Angel Kash v. Emevlas Stastias

The match begins as many Angel Kash matches do, with the Trillion Dollar Princess talking garbage to her opponent as Stastias comes out of the corner to meet her. What Kash does NOT expect is Stastias to fire right back with the trash talk. The blonde huffs, crossing her arms over her chest and turning her nose up at her opponent as if to say ‘she’s not worth my time’, and Emevlas cocks an eyebrow before shrugging her shoulders and throwing a HARD forearm into Angel’s jaw, muttering under her breath as she continues to throw strikes. Angel finally pushes the brunette backwards, flipping her hair before responding to the barrage with a brutal backbreaker, assisted by a handful of hair. Stastias cries out in pain before hitting the mat. The Natural Born Goddess hauls Emevlas to her feet, blowing a sarcastic kiss before leaping up to nail the KASH FLOW. Angel rolls Emevlas up, securing the victory.

Result: Pinfall

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

Match #2.

Remi Fontaine v. Minoru Tanahashi

This match is a hotly contested affair, Tanahashi and Fontaine throwing strikes in quick combination, mixing things up with various blocks, and escapes. The crowd cheers both men as they show off their athleticism, but eventually it looks like Remi has the upperhand, and Minoru looks absolutely confused by this situation. Remi slips behind, looking for a suplex of some variety, but Tanahashi throws a hard back elbow, staggering Fontaine. Minoru turns around, throwing a hard European uppercut into Remi’s chin before stepping forward with a hard boot to the stomach, which allows him to set up and execute the BLACK LION BOMB. A pinfall and a victory for Minoru Tanahashi.

Result: Pinfall

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

Match #3.

Anton Crowley vs Morgan Payne

The match begins and it is immediately apparent that neither of these competitors will settle for a loss here tonight. Hard, brutal punches are exchanged between the two, blood starting to flow from a cut under Morgan’s eye. She returns the favor, hitting a European uppercut that rocks Crowley, causing him to bleed from the nose. Anton shoots in, looking for a lariat, but Payne ducks underneath, hitting the ropes on the opposite side. Both competitors come in, full speed, and level each other with a pair of lariats. The referee begins his count, and it takes until six before both begin to move. They’re on their feet by the eight count, and both are wobbly on their feet. Crowley makes the first move, but Payne counters, throwing him into the corner. She hits him with a couple of stiff shots before setting him up on the turnbuckle, but as she goes to lift him into the fireman’s position, he throws a hard elbow, rocking Morgan enough to allow him to slip free and land on his feet. Anton spins on his heel, blasting Payne with another elbow that drops her to a knee before he follows up with a vicious AD STELLAM MATUTINAM! Crowley collapses on top of Morgan, barely hooking a leg as the referee counts three and awards him the victory.

Result: Pinfall

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

Match #4.

Debby Haze v. Cass Baumer

This match begins with a friendly handshake, and the two women begin to circle one another, Cass staring daggers into Debby. Haze’s feet are in constant movement, so when she fakes to the right, Baumer falls for the bait, which opens her up for Debby to nail a hard kick to the temple. Cass stumbles, dropping to a knee, and Haze throws a particularly hard spinning heel kick that puts Baumer on the mat. Debby dives in for the cover, but Baumer kicks out at two. The Disco Diva plays it up to the fans, doing a little dance before looking for an elbow drop, but Cass rolls out of the way. Debby is back on her feet quickly, but not quite fast enough as Baumer is already there, slipping behind the Disco Diva and delivering an explosive German Suplex. Debby practically bounces on impact, and Cass has her on her feet in a flash, striking a Disco pose of her own before executing the FACT CHECK to put Haze down and pick up the victory via pinfall.

Result: Pinfall

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

Match #5.

Sela Rica-Lark v. Maki

To absolutely no one's surprise, this match is an absolute barnburner. Both women are completely fired up, and it’s hard hitting and heavy as hell between the two of them. Elbows, knees, palms, and fists fly as the Brit and and the American engage in a bitter clash. The crowd roars, for it’s size, and it’s apparent that this is the show they’ve been waiting to see. Maki fires out first, looking for a MAKIHOUSE KICK but Sela ducks the dangerous move, slipping behind Maki to dive forward and hit a chop block. Lark drops, clutching her leg. Maki moves in, but Sela quickly silences her own cries, rolling the Brit up and looking for the pin, but Maki kicks out at two. Both women are on their feet now, and Sela moves in again. Maki is more weary this time, and when Sela makes her move, the Brit blocks before stomping down on Lark’s foot. Sela cries out, but manages to duck another attempted MAKIHOUSE KICK. Clark had her scouted before spinning to the side, kicking Maki in the leg. She comes in, but Maki screams, unloading a headbutt, directly into a Death Valley Driver. Maki dives in for a cover, but Sela kicks out at two. Maki pulls her opponent to her feet, when suddenly Lark hits JUST FOR FUN, causing the Brit to crumple. Sela gets the cover, and picks up the victory.

Winner: Sela-Rica Lark
