In Ring Segment
-Prior to the beginning of the first ever Championship Soul tournament match, Kimmi runs down the rules one last time to explain points system.
-Winning a match by any means (pinfall, submission, DQ, or count out) will earn 2 points, while a loser gains 0 points.
-In the event of a time limit draw, double DQ, double CO, no contest, or any other conceivable draw result, each wrestler is awarded 1 point.
-At the end of the matches, when each competitor has faced each other competitor, the wrestler who has the most points will advance from his or her block to face the winner of the other block.
-Ties are broken based on win/loss records. If Wrestler A and Wrestler C are tied at the end of the tournament, but Wrestler A defeated Wrestler C, then Wrestler A is awarded the tie.
-The winner of the tournament will earn the right to face the FFA World Champion in two months at FFA RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, but may have to defend their #1 Contendership against one or more wrestlers who beat them in the tournament.
-Champions taking part in the tournament, similarly, may find their losses during the tournament coming back to bite them in the future.
-Without further ado, let the first ever Championship Soul commence.

Championship Soul Round Matches
A BLOCK

Kelly King 2.0 [0] vs Mike Landry [0]
-Kelly King 2.0 comes into the match with the advantage of having beaten Mike Landry in many high stress situations before. Landry, conversely, comes into the match with ample tournament experience, having won the FFA match a record 3 times.
-King and Landry know each other like the backs of their heads, and the first five minutes of the match is them posturing and chain wrestling back and forth, swapping advantage.
-Landry catches King off one of his springboard moves with a stunning Heartbreaker, but King wisely thrashes and rolls his a** out of the ring to prevent losing the first ever Championship Soul match.
-When Landry rolls King back into the ring, King rolls up to his feet and catches the returning Landry with a Downgrader. King then tightly pins Landry to the mat with a cradle.
-Kelly King 2.0 [2] def. Mike Landry [0] via pinfall with the Downgrader.

Vince Caputo [0] vs Raj Delrey [0]
-Raj Delrey comes into the match with the experience of competing in similar tournament formats in Japan, having won the premier tournament in J.A.P.A.N. Vince Caputo, a former world champion in his own right, is an underdog in all things, but underestimating him is a mistake.
-Raj finds himself out maneuvered early on in the match as Vince runs circles around him and continually puts him on his back with his cruiserweight style.
-Vince gets out of control with his hype and goes for his swanton finisher early, but Raj moves out of the way. Both roll to their feet and Raj catches Vince with THE KNEE.
-Raj Delrey [2] def Vince Caputo [0] via pinfall with THE KNEE.

Domino Ando [0] vs Jonathan Leves [0]
-Domino and Jonathan seem to be on equal footing coming into the tournament. Domino has a high amount of momentum thanks to his ending the reign of terror of Josh Madwall. It seems impossible to stop the young rookie right now, and he too has experience in this tournament format.
-Jonathan, underhanded as always, takes as many liberties as he can with the Infernoweight Champion. Early in the match, Jonathan raked Domino's eyes behind the refbot's back, and also crotched him on the top rope.
-Vash the Stampede tried to interfere on Jon's behalf, and caught a high kick to the face for his troubles, but Jonathan got a near fall off a brainbuster from it.
-Domino Ando [2] def. Jonathan Leves [0] via pin with the Sunfall. The end came when Domino caught Jon's buzzsaw kick with his arm and landed a solid right hand on the vampire's jaw to set up the finish.

Kelsey Warden [0] vs J-Money [0]
-Kelsey Warden, a former world champion and FFA winner. J-Money, a former FFA CO-winner and faction leader. The edge seems to be with J-Money as his Mob seems very focused on helping him win his matches, with the exception of Revy who is absent from ringside.
-Zerotonin gets thrown out from ringside by the new FFA Referee Kai, an actual human which is out of the norm for FFA. Zero was caught tripping Kelsey on rope run. While Kai was throwing Zero out, Crestwood got in the ring and clotheslined Kelsey.
-J-Money locked Kelsey in the Padlock, but Kelsey managed to get to the ropes to break it off
-Crestwood's second interference backfired, as he and J-Money collided on the apron, sending J-Money backwards into the Whiplash DDT.
-Kelsey Warden [2] def. J-Money [0] via pinfall

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [0] vs Serenno [0]
-"The Storm" is a threat to any wrestler in any situation in any company. A legend in the business versus an animal of a champion in the prime of his life.
-Shanahan and Serenno's lock ups find them stalemating, leading to them attempting to shoulder block each other, also to no avail. They cannot knock each other over.
-Both run the ropes going for lariats, except Serenno turns his into a german suplex at the last second, getting the early edge.
-The slugfest between the two wrestlers gets more and more brutal, as they begin to take off extremely latent aggression towards each other ON each other.
-Matt Shanahan [2] def. Serenno [0] via pinfall with the Chapter Four

In Ring Segment
Matt Shanahan gets on the mic as the winner of the main event of night one. Shanahan's promo, about the inevitability of him claiming the tournament, has been a long time coming. He claims that he did not hold the FFA United States Championship for as long as he did before it's deactivation out of some fluke, he did not defeat King in the greatest rivalry of their time out of sheer luck, and he did not return to FFA for this tournament to be an afterthought. The Storm washes everything away, and soon he will be the winner of the Championship Soul and the FFA World Champion. Serenno lay on the mat for the vast majority of the promo, but eventually was drug out of the ring by his girlfriend Jada.

Championship Soul 2018
Night Three - A Block

Marx & Myles Shaw vs Railery & Kayla King
-Myles def. Kayla via pinfall with a Shawshank

Dallas Cruz & Grif vs Jayce Myraj & Proto
-Due to Jayce and Proto teaming together and being in the same block, they are forcing their opponents to team as well, which is likely to create some awkward pairings like tonight, as Dallas and Grif literally went to war the night before.
-Dallas turned on Grif late in the match and laid him out with Chaos Magick, allowing Jayce to pick up the win.
-Jayce def. Grif via pinfall with the 8th Evil Ex

Sephiroth & Legato Bluesummers vs The Monitor and Tanuki
-Sephiroth def. Tanuki via pinfall with a Meteor Drop

Kurast & Orca vs Nate Navarro & Curio
-Curio def. Orca via pinfall with the Raze Machine

Championship Soul Round 2 Matches
A BLOCK

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [2] vs Mike Landry [0]
-Landry and Shanahan are both legendary rivals of Kelly King 2.0, so tonight they will battle to determine which of the rivals is superior (It's Matt and it's not even close)
-Landry has a lot of experience dealing with weird assholes in FFA, and is clearly the superior technical wrestler, as Shanahan discovered many times during the match, leading him to get frustrated
-Shanahan however, the outpaced Landry in all aspects of power and brawling, constantly throwing Landry around by his neck and hitting him with hard strikes
-Shanahan brought Landry up to the top rope, beaten and bloodied, going for the Last Corner, but Landry was prepared, having studied King vs Shanahan 1, and used a victory roll counter
-Landry [2] def. Shanahan [2] via pinfall with a victory roll up from the top rope
-After the match, Landry fled from ringside rather than celebrate, as the livid Shanahan went right after him with a baseball bat, incensed beyond belief at the upset

Jonathan Leves [0] w/ Vash the Stampede vs Vince Caputo [0] w/ James Caputo
-A chance for both wrestlers to get on the board points wise, neither are forgetful of the opportunity. Both also had their seconds out at ringside
-Vash and James became nonfactors after Vash got on the apron to interfere, and James pulled him off and threw him into the crowd, following him to brawl
-Jonathan deliberately tossed Vince's foot into the refbot, causing it to fall down, and then sprayed Vince in the face with Red Mist, before hitting him with an Aneurysm and covering his face to hide the evidence
-Jonathan [2] def. Vince [0] via pinfall with the Aneurysm

J-Money [0] vs Domino Ando [2]
-J-Money made a show of sending Zero and Crestwood to the back for his one on one match against Domino, which no one believes for a second is legitimate sportsmanship
-Domino unwisely DID believe that J-Money's cohorts would stay out of their business, and thus was not expecting it when J-Money held the referee's gaze and Zerotonin caught Domino with a hurricanrana off the top rope, throwing him into the ropes and a solid right hand to the face by Crestwood. Both then disappeared under the ring
-J-Money [2] def. Domino [2] via pinfall with a Cash-Out after interference

Kelly King 2.0 [2] vs Kelsey Warden [2]
-Long time friends, enemies, and rivals, two of the original FFA six. For all of their accolades, Kelsey has the distinct advantage of having formerly been the FFA Champion
-King, the a*****e, offers Kelsey the chance to just laydown and save herself the embarrassment of being outwrestled again by him. King is decisively the better technical wrestler between the two of them. Kelsey declines and thumbs King in the eye
-2.0 managed to catch Kelsey with a AA spinebuster, basically pulling her off the top rope to do it, but when he went for the Downgrader, Kelsey kicked his head off and then wrapped him up tightly in the Literomancy. Kelsey cinched it on tight and made King pass out almost instantly.
-Kelsey [4] def. King [2] via submission with the Literomancy

Raj Delrey [2] vs Serenno [0] w/ Jada
-Serenno, the young champion with a chip on his shoulder, facing off against Raj who is widely considered to be one of the best wrestlers in the world outside FFA. One generation versus another making for a great contest
-Reno was on the run from Raj mid-match, using his fiance at ringside as a human shield in order to level Raj with a clothesline
-Serenno connected on Raj with a Crown Breaker while Raj was on the top rope, but Raj mystified everyone by kicking out just before three, making the world champion livid.
-Serenno hit a Trebuchet on Raj, basically hurling the Panther from one corner to another, but Raj rolled through it back to his feet with Fighting Spirit, and when Serenno turned around he was met with THE KNEE
-Raj Delrey [4] def. Serenno [0] via pinfall with THE KNEE

In Ring Segment
For the second week in a row, the FFA World Champion finds himself laying on the mat, staring up at the lights, while his opponent cuts a post-main event promo. Raj gets on the microphone and thanks all the fans for coming, and especially thanks his own fans who followed him when he came to FFA from outside, and his new FFA fans who adopted him so soon. Raj says they call him the Panther of Zenith Mountain, a mythical place from which he reigns from up on high. Raj never really bought into the moniker all that much, it was given to him, but every once in a while, when he manages to accomplish something magical like tonight, he feels like the predator that his fans say he is. He's coming for the FFA World Championship, and he will do it with Soul.

Championship Soul Round 3 Matches
A BLOCK

Vince Caputo [0] vs J-Money [2]
-Vince must have been watching J-Money's match in the last round because every time Crestwood and Zero tried to interfere, they got punched in the face
-J-Money had to resort to more classic tactics, using a steel chair on Vince's back when the Referee, Kai, was not looking. He then played dead on the mat when Kai turned to look, and Kai could not call for the bell as both wrestlers appeared hurt
-When J-Money went for the Cash Out, Vince forced him to land on his feet, and then quickly hit J-Money with the ASAI DDT
-Vince [2] def. J-Money [2] via pinfall with the ASAI DDT

Domino Ando [2] vs Kelly King 2.0 [2]
-King looked at Domino's championship belt and made a few comments about how he might come for that after he's done winning the World title again. Domino laughed at him which made King very mad
-King was surprised several times by Domino's wrestling ability, finding himself losing a few mat exchanges, but winning more.
-Domino continued to surprise King however with strikes that King was not used to dealing with on such a high level. The match came down to a fore-arm brawl on the apron, which ended with King taking a hard roundhouse to the face, and then Domino hit the Sunfall on him on the apron (which is the hardest part of the ring dunno if you knew that)
-Domino [4] def. King [2] via pinfall after a second Sunfall in the ring

Raj Delrey [4] vs Jonathan Leves [2]
-The fastest match of the tournament so far, the whole thing was a couple of minutes long. Jonathan tried to use the Red Mist on Raj after a quick exchange, but Raj dodged it and Jonathan ended up misting Vash who was standing on the apron at the time. When the referee turned to look at the screaming Vash, Raj then used his own Japanese mist, green, on Jonathan!
-Raj [6] def. Jonathan [2] via pinfall with THE KNEE after green mist
-Raj was seen shrugging as he went to the back after his easy win while the Bloody Stampede were both left wailing with mist on their faces

-Kelsey tried using the same tactic on Matt that she had used on King by locking him in her tazmission Literomancy, but Matt did not pass out and refused to tap
-Shanahan set up Kelsey for The Toss after his anger reached a certain point, but Kelsey turned it into a DDT, and then hit him with a Whiplash DDT, which Shanahan kicked out of at two, drawing a huge gasp from the crowd
-Kelsey went up to the top for the Medusa's Hammer, a move that no one has ever kicked out of (many don't even survive it), but Matt caught her on the top and connected with The Seventh Act, a dangerous move that FFA is not used to seeing
-Shanahan [4] def. Kelsey [4] via pinfall after The Seventh Act

Serenno [0] vs Mike Landry [2]
-Serenno exploded right out of the gate, as he was the only person with 0 points by the time of his match. He did not let Landry get a word in edge wise for a good ten minutes, trying to hit power move after power move and pin Mike after each one, but Landry kept kicking out
-Landry eventually had the chance to wrap Serenno up in a guillotine choke, which Reno survived by getting to the ropes, but it leveled the playing field for a while
-When Landry went for the Heartbreaker on Reno, Reno caught him in mid air and turned the move into a Cr0wned, which he then followed up with a second one rather than going for the pin
-Serenno [2] def. Landry [2] via pinfall after a third Cr0wned

In Ring Segment
Jada got into the ring and cut a promo on behalf of her fiance while he stood there looking pretty with the FFA Championship draped over his shoulder. Jada reminded everyone that Serenno was the man who destroyed The House Our Father Built single handedly, first by handily destroying Kelly King 2.0, then by winning the World Title from Railery. The competition in FFA means that everyone is going to eventually have a bad night, but that Reno's bad nights are over with. Serenno's blood runs cold, his veins are filled with Death, and Serenno, her man, her future husband, will win the tournament and take the next few months off, as is deserving of a true champion of champions.

-Curio def. Terran via pinfall with the Raze Machine

Championship Soul Round 4 Matches
A BLOCK

Kelly King 2.0 [2] vs Vince Caputo [2]
-King and Vince have magical chemistry as a former tag team and constant rivals and it shows in a very Edge vs Rey Mysterio way.
-Vince countered the Twisted Flow by wriggling out from under it and then doing a crunch mid air to slap King in the face
-King hit the Downgrader on Vince through the ring ropes and out of the ring
-Vince managed to hit the ASAI DDT onto the Announce Table, folding King up on it but not breaking the table. He then climbed up to the top rope and hit King with the Swanton Bomb to the outside through the announce table!

Serenno [2] vs Jonathan Leves [2]
-Serenno rolled out of the ring before the match began and attacked Vash the Stampede at ringside, throwing Jonathan over the barricade when he tried to help. Serenno crushed Vash with the steel steps and then hit him with the Cr0wned onto them so he had to be taken to the back by medics
-Jonathan, late in the match, had Serenno on the ropes after hitting him with an Impaler, but then Jada got on the apron and distracted Jonathan by looking very very very hot. Unfortunately, it gave Serenno the time he needed to recover.
-Serenno [4] def. Jonathan [2] via pinfall with the Crown Breaker
-Serenno and Jada made out in the ring after the victory

J-Money [2] vs Raj Delrey [6]
-J-Money looks like he hasn't slept prior to the match starting, and takes every advantage he can, bending fingers, holding ropes for leverage, holding counts until he has to break them
-Raj is mostly patient in his defense, looking for J-Money to make a mistake, which comes in the form of J-Money going for the Cash Out, which Raj avoids and then catches J-Money with a spinning kick, bycicle knee, and finally THE KNEE
-Raj [8] def. J-Money [2] via pinfall following THE KNEE

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [4] vs Domino Ando [4]
-Matt makes a comment about Domino ending the longest FFA title reign in history, making Matt the current longest reigning champion (although the US belt is no longer recognized by FFA)
-Domino does not take any of Matt's s**t and surprises the crowd by beating Matt several times in strong-style strike exchanges, leaving Matt rocked and reeling each time he tries to match Domino strike for strike. Matt switches tactics to interrupting the exhanges with brutal power attacks and big boots
-Domino gets Matt up for the Sunfall, but can't follow through. When Matt lands on his feet, he turns it on Domino and hits him with the Around The Corner
-Matt [6] def. Domino [4] via pinfall by Chapter Four

Mike Landry [2] vs Kelsey Warden [4]
-Landry is much more disrespectful to Kelsey while mat wrestling her than King was, rubbing her face on the mat or slapping her on the back of the head
-Kelsey turns this around on Mike when he goes for the Figure of Perfection when he finds himself in a knee bar instead
-Mike tries to goad Kelsey into going for Medusa's Hammer, and then tries to catch her on the top rope, but Kelsey saw it coming and jumped off the top, rolling to her feet. Mike charged right into a Whiplash DDT, and then to add insult to injury, Kelsey locked him in the Literomancy and made him pass out just as fast as King had.
-Kelsey [6] def. Landry [2] via submission with the Literomancy

In Ring Segment
Kelsey, laboring for breath, picks up the mic and sits on Mike's back while he lay on the mat unconcious. She thanks everyone for her support and expresses how important these past few weeks have been for her, beating both King and Landry, who had amazing careers outside FFA and are widely considered as two of the all time greats, while she sat in FFA and was never recognized on a global scale for her ability. She knew she could beat them and handily, and now that she has the only thing left she has to prove is winning this tournament for everyone who has stood by her from day one.

-After the match, Landry put Domino in the Figure of Perfection until security had to pry him off. Domino did not tap.

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [6] vs Vince Caputo [3]
-Vince got in several really good hits on Matt, who was much much bigger and stronger than him, but inevitably when Matt chokeslammed Vince onto his knee, Vince never really recovered
-It became very clear that Vince's injury from his draw round with King was having a very bad effect on his body and stamina
-Shanahan [8] def. Vince [3] via pinfall with the Chapter Four

-The antics in the match got off to an insane start when Leves wasted his red mist on Crestwood to neutralize him at ringside early
-J-Money purposefully knocked out the refbot for the match so that Zero could run in and hit Jonathan with a Zero Sum
-The referee counting the pin after the interference was pulled out of the ring by Vash, and knocked out by him. Then Vash and Zero brawled with Vash getting the upper hand. Vash got in the ring and locked J-Money in the Sharpshooter, allowing Jonathan to kick his head off with the Buzzsaw
-Jon [4] def. J-Money [2] via pinfall with the Buzzsaw, a third referee counted the pin

Serenno [4] vs Kelsey Warden [6]
-Kelsey was feeling out Serenno with several wrestling techniques, but Reno quickly decided he didn't want to deal with that from someoen who had beaten Landry and King both, and quickly used his strength to his advantage
-Jada had her bump card cherry popped when she got on the apron to distract Kelsey, as has worked in the past, but Kelsey pulled Jada into the ring and hit her with the Whiplash DDT. Serenno was so distracted by tending to her that Kelsey easily locked him up in the Literomancy. Serenno passed out in the hold right next to his knocked out fiance
-Kelsey [8] def. Serenno [4] via submission with the Literomancy

Raj Delrey [8] vs Kelly King 2.0 [3]
-Two of the greatest of all time in most peoples circles, many were expecting it to start out with classic wrestling holds, but for some reason the match started with Raj and King locking up and throwing punches wildly at each other, and then tumbling out to the floor
-King locked up Raj tight in a Koji Clutch but Raj made it to the ropes and made a comeback with chops and kicks that had King reeling
-Raj went for The KNEE but King blocked it with his arms and then thumbed Raj in the eye, gouging him very badly

In Ring Segment
King slammed his hand on the microphone several times to check its volume before ranting about how he just beat allegedly the best in the world. King reminds everyone that he is the BEST of the BEST and that's why Raj couldn't beat him and that's why King just ended Raj's undefeated streak in the tournament. King then insisted that he was going to keep winning to win the entire event, because no one can outlast the Timeless Kelly King 2.0. ALL MUST SERVE the ONE. TRUE. KING.

Mike Landry [4] vs Vince Caputo [3]

-Landry [6] def. Vince [3] by submission with a Figure of Perfection

Domino Ando [4] vs Kelsey Warden [8]

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [8] vs Raj Delrey [8]

In Ring Segment
Matt watched on as referees and officials rushed out to ringside as soon as the match was over, checking on Raj and his physical condition.

Matt rolled out of the ring and grabbed Raj by the neck, throwing him into the ring and picking him up, holding him for a chokeslam. Instead, Matt put him down on his feet and brushed Raj off, holding up his arm before leaving.

Kelly King 2.0 [7] vs J-Money [2]
-King, once again guessing J-Money's strategy before the match even started, was accompanied by Dylan and Dyne, Team D&D, to counter Crestwood and Zero.

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [10] vs Jonathan Leves [4]
-Jonathan got the early advantage in this one, when he misted Matt in the eyes with his red mist. Matt had picked up Jon for a chokeslam onto his knee, but as Jon was thrashing on his way up, Jon kicked the refbot, knocking it over, and then Jon sprayed Matt in the mist while being held midair
-Matt was on the backfoot, fighting blind and taking hits from Jonathan, who got several near falls (more than anyone else in a match against Matt so far in the tournament) off his signature moves
-Finally, Jonathan went for the Buzzsaw kick, but Matt caught it and then started to choke the life out of Jonathan until his body went limp. Only then did he drag Jon up to the top rope and absolutely unnecessarily hit Jon with the Last Corner, the move that beat King at Mania
-Matt [12] def. Jonathan [4] via pinfall with The Last Corner

Kelsey Warden [10] vs Vince Caputo [3]
-Kelsey, unlike Vince's most recent opponents, tried not to make a thing out of Vince's injury, but even she had to take advantage of it when Vince tried to over reach and hit a hurricanrana off the top on Kelsey. Kelsey stopped it and countered it with a top rope Styles Clash, doing massive damage to Vince, but Vince refused to be pinned
-Kelsey [12] def. Vince [3] via submission with the Literomancy. Kelsey made him pass out out of mercy.

Raj Delrey [8] vs Mike Landry [6] Part II
-Mike comes down to the ring and demands to be named the winner of the tournament match by forfeit, which the referee is about to grant when Raj's music hits and he comes out to the ring, limping in pain, but ready to wrestle
-The match starts and Mike is not taking Raj seriously at all, as every strike sends the veteran wrestler to his knees in pain
-Mike starts to lock in the Figure of Perfection again, but Raj slips out of it and puts Mike into the corner with a drop toe hold

Serenno [6] vs Domino Ando [4]
-Serenno starts the match by overpowering Domino and throwing him out of collar and elbow tie ups with ease over and over again, stopping only to give his fiance a kiss when she asks for one.
-Domino kicks the soul out of Serenno, planting one high across his chest when Serenno goes for another lock up, and then Domino keeps kicking Serenno until his chest is bleeding
-Domino tries to hit the Sunfall, but Serenno drops out onto his feet and then goes for the Cr0wned, but Domino does the same thing, landing behind Serenno and hitting him with an inverted Sunfall, and then a second, regular, Sunfall, picking up the win in the champion vs champion match
-Domino [6] def. Serenno [6] via pinfall with the Sunfall

In Ring Segment
Domino gets on the microphone with the Infernoweight belt in hand and talks about how hard he had to work to beat Josh for the championship, compared to how awful he was doing in the tournament. He has, technically, been eliminated mathmatically by now, as it is not possible for him to beat the points that Matt and Kelsey have, and that Raj and King can get to. But by eliminating the World Champion, he has proven that the Infernoweight belt, and Domino himself, are back and here to stay and that they are legitimate.

Championship Soul Round 8 Matches
A BLOCK

"The Storm" Matt Shanahan [12] vs J-Money [2]
-Once the match started, Crestwood at ringside simply backed away as soon as Matt looked at him, and while the match was not technically the shortest of the tournament matches, it only took Shanahan a single move to finish the morale broken J-Money

Mike Landry [6] vs Jonathan Leves [4]
-Mike Landry [8] is awarded the match via forfeit when it is announced that Jonathan [4] still cannot physically compete

Kelsey Warden [12] vs Raj Delrey [10]
-Raj knows that if he doesn't win this match, he is eliminated by numbers, so he starts the match off explosively against the FFA Original. Kelsey, exhausted, seems overwhelmed by Raj's strikes early on
-Raj fights his way out of a tight Literomancy choke, pulling himself to the ropes when other wrestlers had passed out easily in the hold
-Kelsey seeing her chances at winning the tournament slipping away if she loses to Raj here, pulls out a move that Raj is not expecting when she hits her old tag partner Katie's finisher, the springboard flying clothesline
-Kelsey [14] def. Raj [10] via pinfall with a Flying Clothesline Tribute
-After the match Kelsey celebrates in tears and Raj comes over and congratulates her, shaking her hand and bowing gently, eliminated gracefully

Kelly King 2.0 [9] vs Serenno [6]
-An anticipated match for both competitors, now officially eliminated by numbers thanks to Kelsey and Matt's wins. Serenno stares down King who can barely look him in the eye without his backup
-The match is far more competitive than their last one, each exchanging vicious power strikes and throws, King planting his step-son with a scratched disc and a King-size clothesline, but Reno replying with a Longsword and a Cracked disc, as they remember exactly how influential King was on Reno
-Reno counters King's new finish, the Atma Weapon, by kneeing him in the head while upside down and casts down the King viciously with a sit-out Cr0wned
-Reno [8] def. King [9] via pinfall with the Cr0wned

Domino Ando [6] vs Vince Caputo [3]
-Domino's kicks to Vince's ribs do not do Vince any favors with injuries at all, as each kick basically throws Vince out of the ring in pain
-Vince at one point has Domino on the mat and goes up for the Swanton Bomb, but thinks better of it and hops down from the mat, instead catching Domino with an ASAI DDT
-Vince [5] def. Domino [6] via pinfall with the ASAI DDT

In Ring Segment
Vince thanks the fans for their support as he talks about his rib injury which has obviously held him back in the tournament. He says he wouldn't change a thing about how his tournament win if he had to relive it again, because putting King through that table was the highlight of his year. That being said he can't wait for the last round of the tournament to begin so that he can take several months off to heal.
