Day #10 - 09/14/2020!

This was one hell of a way to kick off Week 3, and the block matches hadn’t even started yet. Here were two teams that had proven they could mesh well together, facing off as a preview to tomorrow’s A Block. Teresa Duke and Jansen Myrrh used their combined chemistry, brute force and power to give Danni Anderson and Damon Cross a real run for their money. Danni Anderson was, especially, tossed and handled around like a little rag doll but once she got a head of steam built up, she put her speed and agility to work while Damon Cross reiterated his resiliency and brutal offense. It was a close one, overall, but in the end, Danni Anderson put the fork in it with A.D.H.D on Teresa Duke to score the pinfall.


This match was really one that looked as great in action as it did on paper. Runa Olsen’s technical wrestling, combined with River Chance’s old school knowledge and power going up against FM Young’s own power and technical, aerial mix and Super Tiger’s hard hitting Strong Style. ST and Olsen put on a fabulous preview for tomorrow but the fans really popped when FM and River were both in the ring for the first time. This showdown would surely be a sample of what people might wanna see down the line as the two female powerhouses went to town on one another, exchanging hard collisions and brutal suplexes to one another. In the climax of the match, however, Runa Olsen had FM Young seemingly dazed on her feet from repeated takedowns. As she hit the ropes, however, Young responded out of nowhere, and popped Runa into the air, bringing her down for Human Processor Error, sitting down into the powerbomb to score the pinfall.


Things were really heating up in today’s tag prelims with another pair off of two teams that showed promise. The Queen’s Guard were already established as a solid team while Graham Baker and Adrianna Salvatore were, despite more or less banging heads, somehow able to be effective. Once again, here was Baker and Salvatore trying to one up each other. A little amusing for the crowd but not so much for Lluvia Cane or Moe Renhuan when their rag tag team of opponents had a head of steam. This lead to Graham and Adrianna deciding to show who could pull off the prettier looking power moves. One instance in particular saw Moe Renhuan come springboarding off the ropes for a hurricanrana but Adrianna Salvatore powered her up for a powerbomb, she spun and went for the drop but Graham Baker was there to catch Moe around the waist, yanked her off Adrianna’s shoulders and spiked her with a sick German Suplex. This caused a bit of a verbal dispute between Salvatore and Baker which opened them up to being blindsided by Lluvia Cane who came in with superkicks and tornado ddts for all. Somehow, though, Baker and Salvatore’s violent competitive nature paid off and Adrianna managed to block out of Cane’s Empress of Thunder when she attempted the third suplex. Cane tried to throw her legs around Adrianna’s waist to drag her down into a DDT with all of her weight but this was where Salvatore’s power came into play. With a “no no no” wag of her finger, Adrianna popped Lluvia up into a flip, catching her out of the air for Ground Zero and the pinfall.


Jenn Drew and Bellamy Parteabon have been proving well together from the start of the event and their first match together but so have Layla Diaz and Jed Coffey. Both teams brought the fight to one another but it was Jed Coffey’s time to really shine on this one as he showed that whatever the hell Layla Diaz and Leah Aguero were doing to teach him the tricks of the trade, by god it was working. He put his technical training and impressive power to good use and picked up the win for himself and Layla Diaz as he lifted Bellamy Parteabon into the air and when Schmucks go Up, Schmucks must come Down. Bellamy was slammed into the mat hard as Jed Coffey hooked the leg with one arm and kissed his other bicep during the pinfall.


Griffin Hawkins and Leo Cook had been saying they needed to get their team hook up back into the winning side of things and they certainly did it here. This one was a rather short one as Hawkins and Cook more or less, absolutely dominated their opposition of Ronnie North and Akane Suzuki. Well...to be fair to their opponents, you could probably blame Ronnie North for not being on the apron at one point when Akane was looking for a tag because the dude was too busy chatting up a gorgeous blonde with a body that literally probably cost her around fifty grand, trying to get her number. Akane finally seemed to be able to get Ronnie’s attention by shouting to him but he simply turned and asked her for one more second just as the blonde was writing her number down. Meanwhile, Akane turned right around into The Leo Special, crumpling to the mat before Leo Cook made the cover. Ronnie heard the bell, spun around with the number in his hand and mouthed a crystal clear “Ah shit” while Cook and Hawkins celebrated.


Both women came out here tonight, hungry and wanting to stay on the impressive roll they have both been on . Sela though seemed to have a little extra behind her strikes, trying to erase the blemish suffered in her last match of the tournament. Both of these women battled back and forth throughout the entirety of this match. Sela was able to deliver Roughhouse onto Cass right onto the apron and send her crumbling down onto the floor. Sela rolled back into the ring and let the referee start their twenty count. Sela looked confident that she was going to win this match, but Cass somehow was able to get back in just in the knick of time. Sela looked angry and she was able to deliver Hurts so Good onto Cass and Sela was sure she had the match again, but Cass was able to kick out just before the three count. Sela looked frustrated and began to argue with the ref a little bit. As she was distracted by this, it gave Cass the chance she needed. Cass got up to her feet and turned Sela around, delivering the Fact Check and falling into the cover to get the three count.


To say this was another hard hitting match was definitely an understatement. Maki came out of the gates strong against Anton, trying to keep the former Undisputed Champion off balance. It worked for a good portion of this match too as Maki had control of Anton for a lot of it. Maki was able to get Anton up to her shoulders and deliver a Death Valley Driver before bringing him back up and delivering Superkick Party! Maki didn’t end things there on Anton though, she took him and tossed him onto the apron before she went to deliver the Brighton Bomb, but Anton was able to deliver a back drop onto Maki, dropping her out to the floor. From there, Anton sent Maki face first into the ring post before delivering the Fall to her right onto the steps! He took Maki and rolled her back into the ring and from there, he proceeded to work over the arm a little before he ultimately would lock in In ostium inferos! He had the move locked in and he looked like he could easily snap Maki’s arm and almost immediately, Maki wisely tapped out and Angel ran down to the ring as Anton broke the hold with a sadistic smile on his face.


These two women came out and despite having a rough go of it in the tournament, the two still came out and gave it everything they had. The two of them put on one hell of a match and it quite possibly was able to steal the show. The crowd was kind of split between the two athletes as both were out there giving it their all. Debby finally, after going back and for with Emevlas for the first several minutes of the match was able to take control of it. She delivered a tornado DDT before climbing to the top rope and delivering a big splash onto Emevlas and getting a two count out of it. She would pick the woman up and Debby would then deliver Disco Twist and once again get a two count out of it. Debby sent Emevlas into the corner and went for a corner splash, but Emevlas was able to avoid and roll Debby up, resulting in a two count of her own. Emevlas would take over the match from here though. Emevlas delivered a roundhouse kick that staggered Debby before delivering a swinging neckbreaker. She picks Debby up and she proceeds to deliver Whiplash and hooks the leg to pick up the win.


Before the bell could even ring and as Minoru was talking off his ring jacket, Angel came up from behind and attacked. Angel beat down on Minoru, trying to end this match as early as possible, but the beatdown seemed to have only fired Minoru up. Angel delivered a running knee lift, that staggered Minoru, but when Angel charged in to follow it up, she was met with a powerslam by Minoru. Angel would immediately roll out of the ring to get some reprieve. Minoru though followed her out, Angel run around the ring and Minoru gave chase. Angel slid back into the ring and as Minoru went to follow suit, Angel started putting the boots to him. Angel would pick Minoru up and deliver Buyout, but Minoru kicked out at one. Angel looked absolutely shocked. She would go for the move again, but this time, Minoru countered out of it and delivered a series of knife edge chops to the chest of Angel. He then took her and delivered Kabukicho Nights before picking Angel up and delivering the Black Lion Bomb and getting the pinfall.


Morgan came out of the gate with something to prove it felt like after suffering a loss to end last week. She brought the fight right to Remi, but Remi refused to give up easily. Morgan was hitting him with everything she had, but it wasn’t enough early on in the match. Remi was eventually able to low bridge Morgan as she charged him and sent her out to the floor. Remi followed behind her and took the fight right to her. He would take Morgan and slam her shoulder first into the steps before bouncing her head off the ring post. He’d then take Morgan and deliver a DDT to her right on the floor. Remi would roll Morgan back into the ring before delivering a brainbuster to her and going for a cover. Morgan was able to get the shoulder up at two and Remi kept up the pressure. Remi would go for another brainbuster, but Morgan countered out of it and as Remi turned around, out of nowhere, delivered a Liver shot to Remi, bringing him down to a knee. Morgan grabbed Remi and then delivered Dahntahn After Dahk and hooked the leg and picked up the win.
