Day #15 - 09/21/2020!

Debby Haze and Azurine seemed to have an instant chemistry, even doing a little synchronized dance during their entrance. Remi and Layla continued to show growing chemistry, but were clearly thrown off by the chance in Debby’s partner. That allowed Debby and Azurine to really control the pace, Azurine utilizing her technical skills to keep Layla in their corner while Debby tags in and out, hitting some fast strikes and moves before Azurine brings Layla back down and towards their corner. A slight miscue caused Azurine to hit Debby with her signature springboard double axe handle, letting Remi tag himself in. He comes in and hits Azurine with the Big Bang Attack!, taking her out of the ring. Remi delivers a few hard kicks to the calf and thigh of Debby Haze, then levels her with Rebel Without a Cause. He covers, but his Day 16 opponent just manages to kick out. Remi hits Debby with a few more kicks, then delivers a big tornado DDT. Remi goes up top and flies off with #GetWrecked!, but Layla makes the tag right as he does. Debby manages to just get her knees up and Remi crashes down hard. Layla comes in and pulls Debby up, but catches a surprising headbutt from the disco Diva. With Layla dazed, Debby pulls her in and hits the Disco Twist. On the outside, Remi slowly gets up, only for Azurine to drop down and connect with the Sweetheart Sock Hop, taking him out as Debby goes to the top rope, and now she flies, hitting Layla with Saturday Night Fever. Debby goes right into the pin and secures the win for The Dancing Queens.


Carter Slade started the match as usual, with Anton starting for his team. Slade didn’t back down, but he didn’t rush into the fight either. Anton finally had enough circling and lashed out with a hard chop, which got a small smile from Carter and a forearm in return. The demon and the goliath traded shots for a while, throwing everything they had at each other. Carter started to get the upper hand and began his forearm flurry, but when he went for th3e discus forearm, Anton blocked it and leveled Carter with a clothesline from hell. Carter rolled back towards his corner and Angel made the blind tag. She came in, put a thumb into the eye of Anton and hit the Kash Flow out of nowhere. Angel quickly covered, and might have stolen the win if not for Kate coming in to break up the pin. Angel got up and started screaming at Kate, which led to her eating a Geek Chic Kick. Both Anton and Angel moved to make the tag with Anton getting to Kate a bit quicker. Kate used a flurry of quick strikes to take Carter down and keep him down. As Kate sets Carter up for the Starstruck, both her and Anton are distracted by Steele Matthews yelling at Anton. Anton jumps off the ramp, grabs Steele Matthews by the collar of his shirt, and pulls him in for The Fall, only for Angel Kash to slip in and hit Anton with a chop block. Angel follows with a big bulldog and then puts him in the Priceless Clutch. With Kate distracted, Slade hits a big snap dragon suplex, then follows with The Killing Blow right in the middle of the ring. Carter covers as Anton is fighting out of the submission, but the ref counts the three before Anton can completely break free. Angel makes a quick escape with Steele Matthews as Carter rips the Undisputed Title out of the ref’s hands, holds it up, then places it on his shoulder as Kate slowly gets to her feet. Carter smirks and poses with the title before he mockingly offers it back to Kate.


This was a really back and forth match as both teams had clear game plans and showed off fantastic teamwork and chemistry. In the early going, Sativa used her speed to the Milisandre off a bit and neutralized her technical style, allowing The Regulators to deliver some big double team moves and get a couple near falls. Milisandre blocked Order 66, when Sativa played to the crowd, spinning out of it and hitting her with a Ranhei. Both women moved to make the tag and when Sela and Morgan got in, the fight was on. The B block competitors threw heavy strikes right from the get as each wanted to wear down the other before their singles match. Sela’s willingness to break the rules made the difference as she raked the eyes of Morgan, hit a big Enziguri and whipped Payne into the corner. Sela and Milisandre kept Morgan in their half of the ring with frequent tags and combination moves, mostly Milisandre trapping Morgan, Sela hitting a big strike and then Milisandre following through with a suplex. Morgan did manage to counter a double arm twist, sending Sela and Milisandre crashing into each other, which allowed her to tag in Sativa. Sativa came in with a big springboard dropkick and took both women down. Sela rolled outside and as soon as Milisandre was up, Sativa hit Blitzed, getting an incredibly close near fall. Sativa motioned to Morgan, made the tag and Morgan quickly came in and set Milisandre up in the wheelbarrow position. Sativa hit the ropes for some added momentum, charging in to hit Got ‘Em, when Sela nearly took Sativa out of her boots with a spear. The momentary distraction allowed Milisandre to transition into the Grasp of Cthulhu. Milisandre had Morgan right in the middle of the ring, but Payne was not giving up. Sativa started to slowly get to her feet on the outside when Sela grabbed her from behind. Sela started on some Pain For Pleasure as Milisandre transitioned into the Grip of Cthulhu. With Sativa getting repeatedly headbutted, Morgan had no escape and started slowly fading, slumping down onto the mat, but still refusing to tap. The ref finally called for the bell as Morgan had passed out. Sela hits one more vicious headbutt to the neck of Sativa, then drops her to slide into the ring and celebrate with her partner as she stares down at her next opponent.



As usual, Minoru Tanahashi comes out not even dressed to compete, opting for a fairly simple light grey suit, white shirt, a bright green tie, and green tinted sunglasses he heads over to the announce desk. As his partner comes out, Minoru applauds and puts him over on commentary talking about how he’s an unstoppable force. As the fire from Tren’s entrance fades out, Asian Persuasion comes running out with chairs. They use them to hit chop blocks to the back of Tren’s knees, then they toss the big man off the stage. Minoru is losing his mind at the commentary booth as Maki and Angel run down. Angel grab’s Minoru’s tie and slams him head first into the desk, shattering his glasses in the process. Maki pulls Minoru up on the announce desk, and Asian Persuasion drops him with a double draping DDT. The dup scoop up the Black Lion and roll him into the ring. With all four competitors out, the ref calls for the bell and Angel looks for 50 Shades of Pain early. She applies the inverted STF, gets one fish hook in and Minoru starts immediately tapping. Angel and Maki look at the ref in shock as the bell rings. Minoru quickly rolls out of the ring as Angel and Maki’s hands are raised. Minoru looks up at them, holding his neck in pain, then smirks slightly, cracks his neck and stands up straight. He gives a little shrug, and then does the universal “I outsmarted you” symbol, drawing some boos, some laughs, and a little bit of applause.


This one was a fight from start to finish as all four women were out to prove something, especially Emevlas. She might have been mathematically eliminated, but she could still spoil the tournament for Cass. Emevlas didn’t even let Cass and Dona discuss who would start, charging at her next block match opponent with a Thesz press. Emevlas took Cass down and started raining haymakers until Dona Rotten came in and blasted her with a low boot. Cass got to her feet and shook the cobwebs, then hit a big running DDT and made the first cover. Emvlas kicked out at 2, but all that meant was more abuse from Cass and Dona as Cass whipped her into the corner and the surprising team worked well together, hitting a few double team moves and cutting off the ring. A thumb to the eye, a jumping knee strike and a swinging neckbreaker to Cass turned things back in Emevlas favor and she tagged in her partner. HEIDI hit Cass with a big sling blade, tagged Emevlas back in, and she connected with a shining wizard before tagging HEIDI right back in. HEIDI connected with the Kill Star and got a very close 2 count on the Silver Mountain Champion. HEIDI pulled Cass back, and quickly ate a few stiff forearms. Cass went to tag Dona back in, but Heidi grabbed her waistband, pulled Cass back and looked for a belly to back suplex, but Cass landed on her feet, only to have Emevlas hit her in the back of the head. Dona was furious and tried to get in, drawing the ref over to her which allowed HEIDI to rake the eyes of Cass and hit her with a pair of brass knuckles. Emevlas came inside, ran across the ring and took Dona out with a drive by style boot as HEIDI made the cover and got the three count as Cass was knocked out.


This match is much closer than the respective point totals would suggest, mainly because Jansen used her dirty brawling style to keep Lluvia Cane down and away from the ropes. The Cherokee Rose started fast with a single leg dropkick and a running tornado DDT that took Myrrh by surprise and allowed Cane to hit a springboard moonsault and get a big near fall. Myrrh wasn’t safe outside though as rolling there only got her a suicide dive, tossed back into the ring and hit with a diving headbutt for another near fall. That was where the flurry came to an end though as Cane pulled Jansen up for a DDT, but instead caught a thumb to the eye and a series of chops before being driven down to the mat by her hair. Jansen noticed Cane grab her neck and zeroed in on it with a hangman’s neckbreaker and a leg drop right to the back of the neck before she covered. Lluvia defiantly kicked out at 1, but that just pissed Jansen off. Myrrh stayed on the neck of Luvia Cane, hitting strikes to the neck, shoulder and back, switching between neckbreakers and backbreakers as she showed off some real wrestling acumen. Lluvia continued to kick out of every pin attempt, but each one got a bit less defiant. It looked over after a lariat from hell, but Cane just managed to roll her shoulder off the mat at 2.9. Myrrh looked set to end it and went to lock on The Confessional, but Lluvia drove a few elbows backwards, broke free, spun around and caught Jansen with a standing dropkick that sent the larger woman backwards into the ropes. Lluvia hit a big front dropkick to Jansen and as Myrrh came back off the ropes, Lluvia connected with a jumping DDT. Both women were slow to get to their feet, and surprisingly, it was Jansen that was up first. She looked for another Lariat From Hell, but no calls of LARIATOOOO would be hear this time as it was ducked and she turned back around into Angelic Rebellion. Lluvia Cane quickly covered and got the 3 count.


This was a decidedly one sided affair as the undefeated Cross looked to stay that way. He fired out of the corner and caught Runa Olsen with a massive Yakuza kick before the sound of the bell ringing had even dissipated. He covered and got a close fall, nearly earning the fastest win in the tournament. Cross pulled Runa up and then put her right back down with a snap suplex and a float over, but again she kicked out. Damon brought Runa up again, delivered a big swinging neckbreaker, then hit a swinging DDT. Another cover, and another very close kick out. Damon brought Runa back up and looked for a German suplex, but she managed to block it, slip behind him and hit the House Call out of nowhere. She slowly crawled into the cover, but it took a bit too long and Cross was able to kick out. Runa fired off a few chops, then hit a big running knee that rocked Damon a bit. Runa looked to end it with The Checkup, but Damon caught it, pulled Runa in, tossed her up and drove her down into the mat with the White Thunder Bomb. From there, Damon locked in Father's Sin right in the middle of the ring. Runa tried to fight for a bit, but she was in the very middle of the ring, Damon had the hooks in and she had no choice but to tap.


A match with serious implications for the top of Block A as Layla Diaz looked to play the role of spoiler. Both women looked to use their speed and both countered the other. Layla Diaz landed on her feet out a Super Tiger hurricanrana, only for Tiger to cartwheel out of a headscissors attempt. The two women countered each other for a while, then gave each other a nod and Tiger offered a handshake. Layla accepted, but then pulled Tiger into a knee right to the midsection and followed with a step up hurricanrana. Layla slipped into the pin and got a close one, but Tiger wasn’t giving up. Tiger came back with a hard forearm and the striking battle was on. Forearms, chops, stiff kicks, elbows, these two women threw everything at each other and kept at it, with neither one getting a clear upper hand, and both showing signs of fatigue. Despite her size advantage, it was Super Tiger who took control with a massive European uppercut and a head rocker of an enziguri. Tiger hit a big German suplex and got a very close 2 count. Layla slowly pulls herself up into the corner, but Tiger charges in and hits a hard chop. Tiger tosses Layla down, runs across the ring and looks for Yoi Yoi Double Yoi, but Layla lays back, kips up, hits the ropes and comes back with a satellite DDT. Layla covers, but Tiger manages to kick out. Now it’s Tiger pulling herself into the corner and Layla charges in with the double knees. Tiger rolls out of the way and Layla crashes into the corner hard. Tiger springboards up as Layla rolls out of the corner and up to her feet. Tiger takes Layla down with the Tiger Snare, then hooks her and delivers Starlight Express, Tiger bridges into the pin and scores the three count, keeping her and Damon Cross tied in the tournament.


This was a fairly quick match as Graham Baker looked to send a message through Ronnie North as he hits a big single leg knee strike and followed with a German suplex that dumped Ronnie right on the back of his head. Ronnie was slow to get to his feet and he probably wishes he wouldn’t have as he got caught with a chopping block. Baker didn’t even go for the cover, instead he waited for a dazed Ronnie to get to his feet and connected with 1789. Still there was no pin attempt as Graham allowed Ronnie to get up, though it didn’t look like he even knew where he was as he turned around and had his head almost taken off by CLEAN THE BLADE. Baker finally covered and got the three count in a completely one sided two minute match.


Both competitors were eager for a win as it would push them closer to the middle of the pack and maybe future opportunities. Jenn looked to use her speed and quickness early on, hitting Griffin quick and sudden, trying to force the rock star to keep up in the hopes of tiring him. Griff did keep up though and showed off some great athleticism, countering a hurricanrana by shoving Jenn off hitting an enziguri and then delivering one of his own. Griff used his size advantage and slowed things down a bit, adapting his usual strategy as he was considerably larger than his opponent, allowing him to use a bit more power moves. Griffin showed off a variety of suplexes, regularly bridging or floating over into pins, but Jenn showed her resolve as she continued to kick out and would fight back, getting a few quick strikes before she would have a big move countered and Griff would hit one of his own. After countering a tornado DDT, Griff hit a massive spear and went up top. Griff flew off with the Stage Dive, but Jenn rolled out of the way and was able to take control back. Jenn connected with the tornado DDT this time, then hits a big springboard moonsault for a near fall. Jenn went up top for the Curtain Call, but now it was Griff’s turn to move. Jenn managed to land on her knees a bit and rolled through, but it was obviously not the best landing. Griff delivered a big Sling Blade as soon as Jenn turned around and he made the cover for an incredibly close near fall. Griff went up top again and this time he flew off with Holy Diver. Jenn managed to get her knees up at the last second and Griff crashed down hard. Both were slow to get to their feet as Griff clutched his back and Jenn rubbed at her knee trying to get rid of some of the pain. Griff looks for a clothesline, but it’s ducked and Jenn is able to hit The Final Act and put Griff down. Jenn slowly goes back up, looks for the Curtain Call one more time, and this time she connects. Jenn quickly covers and gets the 1, 2, 3.
