The card for this week’s first Warrior Grounds is set for THIS Friday. On tap is a mini tournament, with the winner getting a shot at Doc Wyatt at High Noon for the heavyweight title. Also, we get a first look at newly signed Gears of War, who will face off against a tag team of Young Guns:
I’ve had two weeks to think about what happened at Call to Arms. Two weeks to figure out what went wrong, the mistakes I made, the things I should have done differently. I was right there, ready to realize my dreams… and then just like that it was over. Congrats Doc Wyatt- you beat me fair, in the middle of the ring.
But after the bell… you couldn’t leave well enough alone. You had to rub it in, you had to go the extra mile. Well you have my full and undivided fucking attention now. But what you failed to do, was finish the fucking job. So here we go again. I’m going to walk through another tournament, beat whoever the hell this mystery guy is, beat whoever the hell wins the other match, earn my rematch, and beat your arrogant ass the way I should have the first time. Enjoy that title while you can, because it’s not staying around your waste for very long.
And Brick. My dear friend Brick. Do not think that I have forgotten how you decided to saddle up to that weasel and abandon your friends. I don’t know what is going on in your head, but trust me- you and I have some shit to settle. Your ass whopping isn’t far behind. Friday is the start of a new story, and this time I’m writing my own ending.
Friday-cannot come soon enough. Ever since the Golden Gate Tournament. Ever since I had my first shot at the heavyweight belt snatched away from me. I’ve been training. I’ve been focused. And now, after the names started piling up. Jimmy Hawkins. John Logan. Brick. All of them, on their backs, looking up at the lights. Now, just two more men gotta be put on their backs. Two more men choked out- and I get my shot.
Jack Gold- you are a means to an end. Yeah- you have a couple wins. But I can guarantee, you aint seen anything like me. I’m takin you to school, and by the time I’m done you won’t have any idea why you lost. Congrats on your wins, welcome to the big leagues kid.
Two matches, two victories. Both had something to prove, but realized that you cannot mess with perfection. My ability, my charisma, my presence- are the complete package. The logical next step on that journey is a shot at the Heavyweight title. Standing in my way is a flawed never has been that can’t get out of daddy’s shadow. Vic, you may have more experience than me, but most of it involves losing. There is nothing you can teach me. You are another stepping stone on my walk to greatness. Don’t worry, when all is said and done- I’ll get you an autograph so you have something of value when your middling career is over.
Bobby Clash: Warrior Pro- you are all now officially on notice. Riot- what do we do when we get into the ring? Riot: SMASH Clash: We see the other guy across the ring, pissin his pants at the thought of having to face us, what comes next? Riot: SMASH Clash: What are we about? What is our goal? Riot: SMAAAAASH Clash: Fuck right, we SMASH. Hope this arena is close to a hospital, because we’re sending a couple of rooks out on stretchers
Warrior Pro will act as a nice pre-taped primer presenting a mini one night tournament of its own, with the winner earning a World Title opportunity against Doc Wyatt at High Noon on Sept. 17th. The scheduled card for tomorrow’s Warrior Grounds #1:
Gears of War vs Young Guns The newly signed tag team kicks off the show with their debut against two of Warrior Pro’s rookies. This should be a brutal showcase of what the tag team division is in for, but don’t sleep on the rookie pairing. Castillo put on an impressive display at Call To Arms and GoW will need to make sure they put this to bed early or risk an upset.
World Heavyweight Contender Qualifier: Vic Baron vs Jack Gold The Technician vs Perfection. This will be the first time these two meet, and it stands to be a potential classic. Both wrestlers enter on a winning streak- Baron hasn’t lost since the second week of the Golden Gate Tournament, and Gold stands undefeated so far in his Warrior Pro career. Both men have something to prove, and both have been quick to verbally attack the other.
World Heavyweight Contender Qualifier: John Logan vs ?? Logan will face off against a mystery opponent in the second qualifier match. Logan looked destined to be champ until he was caught by Doc’s punishing right hand at Call To Arms. A rematch seems inevitable, but the real question is who he will be facing- and can Logan get by this person to get back into title contention?
World Heavyweight Contender Match: Winner vs Winner The winner of both matches will face off to determine the number one contender- and earn a shot at Doc Wyatt at High Noon!
Also, the champ himself will be in attendance, coming off his victory in the first round of the 49th Parallel tournament. He will address the crowd for the first time since winning the belt.
Warrior Grounds #1 is officially in the books. There was a wild tournament that concluded with an exciting main event that crowned our #1 contender. Scroll on down for full matches, recaps and promos- both during and after the event.
The official High Noon press conference will be next week, and then it is on to Warrior Grounds #2 September 7th!
Bobby Clash and Miller start, feeling each other out before tags are made and Castillo and Riot start pounding on each other. Clash and Miller tag back in, and Miller tosses Clash outside and the rookies double team and start mounting an offensive- seemingly taking the veterans off guard. Riot gets the tag and dishes out a vicious powerbomb and a muscle press for a near fall. GoW seem to take over control of the match until Castillo gets the tag, and the impressive rookie makes a comeback and hits his finisher for a near fall. Both teams trade advantage, hitting big moves for near falls back and forth before Miller runs right into his second chokeslam from Riot that completely knocks him unconscious. Winner: Gears of War Match Rating***
Doc pauses in the middle of the ring and soaks in the crowd. Brick stands next to him stone faced, arms crossed.
Thank you! Please- please hold your admiration and applause. I am honored and grateful for the warm reception. I have to admit, after winning my match at the 49th Parallel tournament, I was a bit spent. But I wanted you people- my people- to know that this is my first home. And that I, as your champion, will prioritize this shitty fucking company for as long as it takes for me to get a better offer somewhere else. Listen, it isn’t not my fault Tank is going to run this place into the ground. If anything- It’s all of you ignorant fans that cheer for shitty wrestlers like John Logan or Vic Baron. That’s fine. I’m honestly fine with it. I get paid either way.
Some of you, both in the crowd and in the back, might be wondering “Hey, why did Brick turn on his friend? Why is he doing this? Why align himself with Doc Wyatt?” That-is a stupid fucking question. He’s doing it because I’m the top of the mountain. And if you want to get to the top, what quicker way than to hitch your wagon to a winner. Brick teamed with his buddy Logan- and lost. He teamed with his pupil Kevin Hunter- and lost. Now he wants to win. It is as easy as that.
Finally- this dumb tournament. John Logan, Jack Gold, Vic Baron, Mystery Box- I don’t care. See I am a fighting champion, and I plan to sit in the back, and try not to get too bored while I find out who gets to lose in September. Goodnight dirtbags, you all smell like shit!”
Doc Drops mic and both he and Brick walk to the back, Doc mocking the crowd the whole way.
Vic “The Technician” Baron vs “Perfection” Jack Gold
Early back and forth with Vic going for a couple of quick falls, then starting to mount offense. Gold struggles to mount a comeback, seeing his attempts cut off as Vic continuously takes the fight to the ground. Gold finally breaks free and is able to hit a running turnbuckle moonsault for a 2 count. Vic regains a quick advantage by tossing Gold out of the ring, but Gold slips back in and counters with a dives to the outside, and is now finding some room to operate. Gold hits a 24k for a nearfall. Vic counters with an Olympic Slam for a nearfall of his own. Gold manages to throw Vic outside and hits another dive. Action moves back into the ring, where Gold goes for a hurricanrana- but is countered into a powerbomb for the pin. Winner: Vic Baron Match Rating ****
John Logan vs ?? The mystery wrestler walks to the ring and reveals himself to be….
The match never gets started. Immediately Doc Wyatt and Brick jump Lefty and beat him down, handing out two double powerbombs and a “Black Gold” cutter before officials came into the ring to chase off the champ and his enforcer. Logan quickly follows to check on his opponent, but the officials have no choice but to DQ Logan for interference. Winner (via DQ): Lefty McDaniel Match Rating N/A
Despite the vicious beat down, Lefty comes out of the gates with early offense. The run is short lived, and stamina becomes a factor as the match wears on, with Vic taking over. Similar to the match with Jack Gold, as Lefty starts to mount offense, Vic brings it to the mat with wear downs. Lefty mounts a comeback with a vicious DDT into a Russian leg sweep before Vic answers with a suplex into a bulldog. Vic locks in the Killa Crossface but Lefty gets to ropes. Lefty mounts another offensive run but is getting gassed, and gets caught in a flash rollup for a near fall. Action really picks up as both wrestlers- tired and trying to end it- pull out the big guns. Vic hits a top rope DDT but gets countered for a near fall. Lanky hits an elbow drop from the top rope into a near fall. Vic hits a moonsault but cannot cover. Lefty hits a super kick in the middle of the ring for another near fall. Both men look spent. Lanky hits a spear, runs the ropes to hit a second but misses. Vic hits an Olympic Slam for another near fall. Vic picks him up looking for another but Lefty breaks free and hits the Left Handed Scissors (cutter) for the pin. Winner: Lefty McDaniel Match Rating*****
Both men lay in the center of the ring, completely gassed from the match. They both seem to exchange words and Lefty pats Vic on the head as he starts to get up.
Doc Wyatt and Brick both appear on the edge of the crowd. Brick again stoned faced and arms crossed. Doc pointing at Lefty and then pointing at the belt. Lefty stands up and points at Doc, then makes a belt motion around his waist as Doc and Brick leave the arena…
After the event, reporters caught up with some of the wrestlers:
This shit is ridiculous. Doc Wyatt is a conniving little weasel- I’ve always known that. But Brick? I don’t know what’s going on with him, and at this point I don’t give a fuck. Tank! Make the match- I want Brick vs Logan at High Noon. I’m done trying to figure out what’s what- let’s settle this with fists.
Sitting on a chair in the press room, Vic looks exhausted.
This was supposed to be my moment. My time to shine, and again I fell short. Fine. If I gotta climb the mountain again, that’s what I’ll do. Back to work- this aint stopping me. Good luck Lanky. Get that title, and I’ll beat everyone I have to so we can do this again.
The rookie was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a severe concussion. He is expected to be out until at least October, but will be re-evaluated in a couple weeks.
When reporters entered the locker room, Gold was found unconscious and bleeding- with a note pinned to his chest that simply read “YOU ARE NOT PERFECT”
No update was given on his condition…

Tank McDaniel is seated in the middle of the press table, Lefty McDaniel to his right, Warrior Pro World Champion Doc Wyatt to his Left, with the belt propped up on the table in front of Doc.
Tank: Welcome everyone to the official press conference for HIGH NOON, our next big PPV event. HIGH NOON will be LIVE on Twitch Thursday September 13th and will run out of the San Jose Arena. We have our two top matches signed: John Logan will face Brick in singles action, and Doc Wyatt will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against #1 contender “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel. We intend to have the rest of the card announced by the end of next week.
Also, our next “Warrior Grounds” house show will be September 7th at Pioneer Hall, and will feature a main event tag match of Doc Wyatt and Brick vs Lefty McDaniel and John Logan. The entire card for the show is:
“Gentleman” Doc Wyatt & Brick vs “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel and John Logan
Kevin Hunter vs Jimmy Hawkins
Roy Carter vs “Young Gun” Mathews
Injury updates: “Young Gun” Miller suffered a pretty nasty concussion in his tag match last week. While we expect a full recovery, we’re going to be cautious and hold him out of action for a few weeks, and he will be re-evaluated at the end of September. Jack Gold, despite getting jumped in the locker room, did not suffer any serious injuries and has been cleared to wrestle. Jack has also issued an open challenge to the assailant- who we believe to be a Warrior Pro wrestler- to a match at HIGH NOON. He has prepared a statement that we will post after this news conference.
I have with me both participants for our World Championship match- “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel and “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt. We can now open it up for questions.
Doc: Announce me properly
Tank: Excuse me?
Doc: Announce me properly Tank. I am your World Champion. Might be time to start showing some fucking respect.
Lefty: You can hold off on doing that, not sure that title is going to be there for that long.
Doc:(glares across the table) Your World Champion will now answer questions.
Reporter: Doc, how do you feel going into your first title defense, and do you think your commitments to the 49th Parallel Tournament will have any impact on your ability to prepare?
Doc: I feel amazing- I’m in peak physical condition, and I’m alone, atop this sport. The 49th Parallel and this fight will not impact each other, I’m winning them both. The reality is I don’t lose. I didn’t lose in the Golden Gate Tournament. I didn’t lose in my title match. I didn’t lose in the first round of the 49th Parallel. I don’t see why that would change anytime soon. My real issue is my opponent, and this hand-picked nepotism that screams of collusion and unfair favoritism. How Tank has chosen to run this company is a joke, and has been since the doors opened. That’s fine, if he wants to serve me up his family I will gladly beat each and every one of them. I’ll beat is weak ass nephew over there. Then I can beat Lefty’s old ass father. Hell, we can dig up Tank’s dead mom if you want and I’ll pin her in a ring too if that’s what he fancy’s.
Tank: That’s enough
Doc: Sure thing Tank, whatever you say.
Reporter: Lefty, how are you feeling heading into your first World Title match of your career?
Lefty: Right now? Sore. You know, Doc wants to talk about nepotism and favoritism. Tank didn’t give me this title shot- Doc did. It was Doc, too afraid of a rematch with John Logan, who decided to jump me before a match and DQ Logan. Doc decided he wanted to face either me or Vic. Now guess what Doc, you got your fucking wish. At HIGH NOON you get to face a guy you know nothing about. I’ve been wrestling in Japan for the last year. My style, my moves- you don’t have a clue. You could have rolled the dice with Logan, a guy you already beat, but no- you get me.
Next Friday, Logan and I both get to work out our payback on you and Doc. But September 13th? Oh, that’s a whole different playground. High Noon, I get to do what everyone has been wanting to do since day one of this company. I get to shut you the fuck up. So get all that talking out of your system. Annoy everyone you want in the 49th Parallel. Come HIGH NOON, your words won’t mean shit when I’m beating the crap out of you.
Reporter: Tank- your nephew is not under contract with Warrior Pro correct? How will that work if he wins the title?
Tank: Lefty is under a “freelance” contract, which means that he is free to work dates with whoever he wants, but if he holds a title belt Warrior Pro gets first rights on his dates for as long as he holds it.
Doc: That’s a non-issue in this case- this belt is in no danger of leaving its current owner. Certainly not to a fucking McDaniel.
Lanky: Keep yapping Wyatt, I want to remember the sound of your voice before I break you’re fucking jaw.
Doc: Fuck you!
Both men leap over the table and jaw at each other nose to nose before Tank and security break them up, causing an impromptu end to the press conference….
After the press conference, a couple of promos appeared on WPW.com
To Whom It May Concern- you have my attention. I am aaaaaall ears. Step on up, and show yourself. I get why you felt you had to attack me from behind. You knew. You knew that attacking me face to face would have ended poorly for you. I was focused on the fluke loss to Vic Baron, but now I have a new goal. So come on out, take your beating honorably and I can move on to bigger and better things.
Lurking in the shadows, a voice is heard but no face is made out
Jack Gold. I’ve been watching you, listening to you. You claim PERFECTION. You claim ABSOLUTION. But those are lies. Those are fallacies that you tell to convince us, and to convince yourself. But last Friday you proved to all of us, that you- are not- perfect. But do not worry. I accept your challenge. At High Noon, I will teach you. I will show you what you lack. On September 13th, I will MAKE you PERFECT.
This Friday acts as the “go home” show before the second major show for Warrior Pro Wrestling "High Noon" next Thursday LIVE on Twitch- highlighted by a huge tag team grudge match, plus a show case of young talent trying to climb the latter. The card for Warrior Grounds #2:
Roy Carter vs “Young Gun” Mathews Roy Carter makes his first appearance in Warrior Pro since returning from the ZIP Japan tourney. He looks to reshape the last image fans have of him, getting walked out of the ring by medical at Call to Arms after a bloody match with Machine Gun Mayhem. He’ll take on the debuting rookie who will try and make a name for himself.
Kevin Hunter vs “Flyin” Jimmy Hawkins Both promising youngsters, both working through growing pains. After a stellar Golden Gate tournament, Hunter has struggled to find his footing, culminating in a loss at Call to Arms. Hawkins likewise has struggled to string wins together despite some highly entertaining matches. This will be a classic speed vs power matchup, and the winner could see themselves getting a match at High Noon.
“Lanky” Lefty McDaniel & John Logan vs “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt & Brick A grudge match worthy of PPV. Logan and Wyatt have been at each other since the promotion opened its doors, and Doc’s recent alliance with Brick has only escalated tensions. Caught in the cross fire is Lefty McDaniel, who received a beat down to prevent Logan from a rematch, only to earn the title shot himself. At High Noon, all four men will settle scores, but Friday should act as the ultimate primer for what’s to come…
Ever since Call To Arms, Kevin Hunter has been waiting. Been trainin. Gettin that fire in the belly. Man nothing Kevin Hunter wanted more than for the phone to ring with my opponent. Flyin Jimmy? You drew the short straw. You gotta deal with my frustration. You gotta deal with my anger. My RAMPAGE. Friday is a new day. Its time everyone remembers who Kevin Hunter is.
Gotta admit man, I’ve had a tough stretch of matches. Some I shoulda won, some I coulda won. But shit, that’s fine. It only takes one. One win to forget the losses, and get me back on track. Kevin Hunter is a big dude. I respect that. But if he wants to beat me, he’s gonna have to catch me. And that’s not gonna happen. You know it, I know it, and come Friday- poor, angry Kevin Hunter is gonna know it.

The last stop before Warrior Pro Wrestling’s next big event, High Noon (Thursday Live on Twitch) served as the perfect primer for the event ahead. All three matches were entertaining, and we got full clarity on the card for next week. Scroll down for results, recaps, and promos for the house show…
Roy Carter looked like his head was still in Japan when this match started. Lacking energy and assertion, Carter let the Young Gun into the fight, and it almost cost him. The match went back and forth, with Mathews largely dictating the pace. Eventually the rookie made a mistake and walked into a “Game Over” Gotch piledriver… but Carter failed to cover. His next move was countered by Mathews into a German suplex for a close two count. Carter landed a neckbreaker into a running kick for a near fall. Now the pace really started to pick up, exchanges back and forth. Mathews hits a bulldog, into a running knee, into a back drop- but the sequence seemed to gas him. It was all the opening Roy Carter needed, throwing the rooking into the corner before locking in the flying arm bar for the submission.
Winner: Roy Carter Match Rating: **
As the ring clears, suddenly the lights go out in the arena. A dim spotlight appears with a figure underneath. It’s hard to make out exactly who it is, but when he begins to speak, it becomes clear who that figure is...
“Ladies and Gentleman. I would like a minute to introduce myself to you. I am Machine Gun Mayhem, and I am here to save you all. From what you ask? From the tyranny and evil that is presented to you time and time again in your life. Even in this very ring, you are presented with evils that must be conquered and destroyed. Two weeks ago you witnessed a man that claimed perfection. That man is a FALSE PROFIT, and I am here to strike down his fallacies. I too, was a believer- but his performance against the Baron known as Vic was proof that his truth stand as lies. I cannot let that stand. I will not let HIM stand. In one week, I will do what I have always done. I will save, you- the people. I will be your hero, your champion… in MAYHEM….”
The spotlight goes out and the arena is again covered in darkness. When the lights come back on, the ring is empty…
Easily the match of the night and regardless of the winner, both men put on a show for the crowd. If Jimmy Hawkins was looking for a different outcome from the first time these two met at the Golden Gate Tournament, it wasn’t coming at the start of this match. A refocused, more determined Kevin Hunter picked up right where he left of the last time these two met- rag dolling Hawkins around the ring, dictating pace, and looking like an unbeatable monster. Multiple times in this match, Hawkins would try to mount offense of his own, only to see it cut off by Hunter, and the tossing around the ring would begin again. As the match wore on however, Hunter began to show some signs of fatigue, and the exchanges became a little more even. Hawkins followed up a dive to the corner with a superkick into a slingblade for a very close nearfall. Hunter responded with a suplex to the outside. After brawling in the crowd, the two went back into the ring and went back and forth before Hunter suplexed Hawkins out of the ring again. More brawling outside, with Hunter getting the advantage before working back into the ring. Both men look exhausted, before an insane ending sequence:
Hunter whips Hawkins into the corner, and goes for a running splash- but Hawkins ducks and Hunter eats the turnbuckle. Dazed on the ground, Hawkins takes advantage- going up top and hitting his twisted senton before going back up to finish things off with a Hawk Splash… except Hunter gets out of the way- and finishes Hawkins off with a Lights Out powerbomb for the win.
If there was any doubt that bad blood exists between these four men, this match put those doubts to bed. Hard hitting right from the jump, the match started off with Doc and Logan facing off for the first time since their championship bought at Call To Arms, but quickly moved to away as early tags from both sides saw multiple matchups. The early story of the match seemed to center around the chemistry between the various teammates. Brick and Logan looked well oiled, isolating their opponent and double teaming whenever possible, while Lanky and Logan seemed more interested in trying to take turns going at it alone. The cooperation from the champ and his associate paid dividends, and it seemed like they may have the inside track- until it appeared Brick- as imposing a presence as there is, seemed visibly gassed giving the opening Logan and Lanky needed. But it didn’t come easy- Lanky would hit back to back Left Handed Scissors on the giant, only to see him kick out both times. After strike exchanges and a tag to Doc- momentum switch back as the champ sunk in a figure 4 deeeeep that Lanky barely got to the ropes for the break, and then a sneaky brass knuckles punch produced a very near fall pin. The action moved outside the ring as all four men brawled, eventually settling back down with Logan and Doc exchanging in the ring before Doc hit the same piledriver to superman punch that won him the title… but this time he didn’t cover. More back and forth before tags are made on both sides. Brick- after Logan tagged out, took a cheap shot before powerbombing Logan off the apron, and suddenly our co-main events for High Noon are brawling with each other, resulting in Lanky landing a Left Handed Scissors cutter to the champ, who rolls out the ring. Lanky turns his attention to Brick, who he doles out another cutter to, this time for the three count and the victory.
Winner: “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel and John Logan Match Rating: ***
Both Doc and Brick roll out of the ring clutching their necks- Doc grabbing his belt and raising it up in the air. In the ring both Lanky and Logan point to their respective match-ups, Lanky making the title belt motion on his waist and mouthing “One week” while pointing at Doc as the show goes off the air…
After the show, the full lineup for High Noon (Next Thursday Live on Twitch) was announced:
World Heavyweight Title: Doc Wyatt vs “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel Brick vs John Logan Machine Gun Mayhem vs Jack Gold Kevin Hunter vs Roy Carter Gears of War vs Massholes
Kevin Hunter is back. Been sayin it- you people gotta start listenin. Those loses? Blips on the radar man. I’m gonna keep doin what I do. Gonna keep rampaging- wrecking havoc. Nobody safe right now. You wanna put Roy Carter in front of me? Fine. Roy Carter gonna need good medical insurance.
Doc- you scared yet? I just chopped down your stupid 7 foot boulder of a body guard. You have 6 days man. Then you have no one to hide behind. Sleep long and hard with that belt you have, because 6 days. That’s how long you have left with it.
We are all set for a barn burner of a show tonight, with heavy implications up and down the roster. Main show starts at 6:30pm PT on Twitch, with potentially 1-2 preshow matches going live early.
Show will be LIVE on Twitch!
After the show, a full recap with post match promo’s will be posted here. For now, here is a rundown of what to expect tonight…
Gears of War vs Massholes Tag team action to kick off the show, where powerhouse team Gears of War will look to follow up their devastating win over the Young Guns by taking on the resident obnoxious drunks, the Massholes. This one should be hard hitting and an entertaining glimpse at the emerging tag team division.
Kevin Hunter vs Roy Carter Is Kevin Hunter ready to make the leap? After a strong showing in the Golden Gate Tournament, Hunter brushed off a disappointing string of losses to put up a big win against Jimmy Hawkins at Warrior Grounds #2. Now he faces another impressive, budding star in Roy Carter. This should be a physical match, one that could rocket the winner into the World Title conversation.
Machine Gun Mayhem vs “Perfection” Jack Gold The motives of Machine Gun are never fully understood, and this isn’t an exception. Miffed by Jack Gold’s claims of perfection, Machine Gun has set out to show the world that he is a liar. The match itself should be a speed vs power dynamic, where Gold will have to avoid damage long enough to tire his much larger opponent. Machine Gun will probably be favored, but don’t count out Gold, who is always a “24 Karat” finish away from stealing this win.
Brick vs John Logan A good old fashion grudge match, that goes back to last month’s big show, Call To Arms, where Brick attacked Logan after his championship match. Brick and Doc Wyatt followed that up by getting Logan disqualified in his match to receive a rematch, effectively derailing Logan’s championship aspirations. Brick has yet to discuss his actions or their reasons other than its “jus biznus”- but it seems obvious he has decided to hitch his wagon to Doc Wyatt. Needless to say, there are issues to work through. A win for Logan puts him back in the title picture, a win for Brick effectively ends the John Logan threat in the near future…
Heavyweight Championship: “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt vs “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel The match that wasn’t supposed to happen. Lefty, nephew to owner Tank and only contracted as a part time wrestler to Warrior Pro, was beaten down by Doc and Brick before his opening tournament match in order to disqualify John Logan. Immediately after that, he squared off against a white hot Vic Baron for the rights to a title shot. Despite the beatdown, and the best efforts from Vic, Lefty pulled off the stunning victory. Now he stands as a legit threat to the first ever World Champ, and that Left Handed Scissors has the ability to end any match at any time. Will the Doc Wyatt era continue? Or will his short reign give way to the McDaniel family?
Since I signed here at Warrior Pro, I’ve had one goal. Be the World Heavyweight Champion. It’s all I’ve ever wanted. It’s all I’ve ever thought about. My life has revolved around what I need to do to get that belt around my waist. It has been my obsession.
Now? Now I have a new goal. I have a new purpose. Beating the ever living crap out of that 400 pound sack of shit. You did it Brick- you’ve succeeded in getting my attention, and you get to reap all the rewards that come with that victory. Tonight, my life revolves around destroying you. Now this is all I want. You know, I come from a family of loggers. My grandfather was a logger, my father was a logger. Tonight Brick? I’m chopping your big ass to the ground.
Doc Wyatt and I are not that different when you really think about it. We both grew up in this business, we’ve both been all over the world. We both know the sacrifice, the dedication required to be at the top of this game. And yet? He has the title, and I don’t. He knows what it feels like to stand at the top- I don’t. I’m here to change that. This company is my family’s company. It’s in my blood. That title might as well be my birthright. In a few short hours, the talk ends- and the only thing standing in the way of my ultimate achievement, is Doc Wyatt. I told Doc that he better appreciate his time with that belt, because the clock was ticking. We’re approaching zero hour- time to collect on my promise.
Doc and Brick stand next to each other, Doc doing all the talking with the championship belt over his shoulder while Brick stands, arms folded staring stone faced into the camera.
It is amazing, the balls on everyone around here, am I right Brick? Everyone swinging their dick around like they’re the big man on campus. Like they’re the top dog. Like I should be fucking scared of them. John Logan couldn’t pin me, and he can’t pin this human wall. Logan is a pretender. He can bark all he wants about chopping down trees- but the reality is he’d be better off pulling weeds.
And Lanky Lefty…er…Lefty Lanky… whatever your stupid name is- I got a message for you… I’m the big dick around here. This is my turf. Who in that locker room has pinned me? What? Brick- who has pinned me?
(silence)
That’s right. No one. Not John Logan, not Vic Baron, not even that boogeyman Machine Gun Mayhem. This belt sits on my shoulder because I took it, and it will stay around my waist because I’m better than everyone else. Tonight sounds important to you Lefty. Sounds like you wanna make your uncle proud- your family proud. For me? Tonight is just another night. Walk in, win, walk out champ.

Preshow featured two Young Gun matches from two of Warrior Pro’s more promising rookies. Both Castillo and Simmons put up a good fight, but in the end the veterans prevailed. The first pre-show match also marked the debut of Loco Dixon, who will be taking part in AAW’s deathmatch tournament later in the month. Winners: Loco Dixon and Austin Baron Match Rating: N/A
As expected, this match was physical and hard hitting from the jump. Massholes came out early with Joey O’Shea tossing Bobby Clash to the outside, until Riot was tagged and cut him off. Then it became a war of attrition, both sides exchanging the advantage. Eventually - a “Go Joe” from Joey OShea brings a nearfall. GoW start isolating the smaller Masshole, but Joey gets a tag and we see Riot and Tommy OMalley go at it. Riot lands a powerslam for a nearfall, then Clash hits a triple fisherman or another. Tommy fights back and gets a tag. Joey and Clash go back and forth, but the Massholes can’t mount any consistent offense. Riot is tagged in, and Joey’s running offense attempt is countered into a gorilla press. While still recovering, Joey walks right into a chokeslam for the pin. Winners: Gears of War Rating: ***
Massholes roll out of the ring and head to the back. While Gears of War are celebrating, suddenly the lights go out and Jay Zero and Matt Hadad, AAW’s Starboys make their way to the ring. A brawl breaks out as both teams go at it. Eventually security comes to break up the two teams without a clear winner. As they were escorted out, Zero and Hadad could be seen laughing and pointing at the Warrior Pro Logo before making a throat cutting gesture…
Both men came into this match trying to make a name for themselves, Kevin Hunter did just that. The match started off with a lot of back and forth, with both guys asserting themselves on offense. Like most Kevin Hunter matches, eventually he tossed his opponent outside. Brawling ensued, before it got back into the ring. Hunter starts to assert himself, catching Carter in the corner, then going for a rare elbow from the top. Carter trying to get something going offensively but keeps getting cut off. Carter tries the flying arm bar but its countered with an avalanche slam. Hunter tries to follow up but Carter swarms him with strikes, then hits the kick to the face for a veeery close nearfall. Carter seems to be getting some momentum- a neck drop into another kick to the face but this time Hunter gets right back up and suplexes Roy out of his shows and out of the ring. Brawling on the outside before both men get back in the ring. Carter, with corner head butts into a back drop, seems to be taking control until Hunter comes back with a Lights Out powerbomb… for a very close nearfall. Carter fights back- another neck drop into ANOTHER kick to the face…for another nearfall. Both men look exhausted. Carter tries what looks like another flying arm bar that Hunter shrugs off into another Lights Out- this time Carter can’t get up. Winner: Kevin Hunter Match Rating: ****
Could Jack Gold chop down another giant? Machine Gun seemed to be toying with Gold the entire match. Gold would get some offense in, and then Machin Gun would just tear him down. Gold hit a hurricanrana into a moonsault- MGM kicks out at one and closelines him. Gold dropkicks into a standing sunset flip- MGM immediately gets up and nails Gold with a fallaway slam. Gold locks in the Gold Lock and then tosses MGM outside to grab a breather. It doesn’t seem to help, Machine Gun comes right back with strikes. Finally, Gold seems to get a clear advantage, following up a machine gun knee strike with a flying bulldog into another standing sunset flip… but MGM kicks out at 2. Gold tries to press for more offense but MGM cuts him off, and starts to unload on Gold with strikes from the knees and brutal elbows on the ground. Offense is all MGM, who hits the Bone Crusher that’s only saved because of the ropes. Gold- going for broke goes for a running hurricanrana that MGM rolls out of the ring for, and gets back in in time to nail Gold with the double “Missile Kicks” for the pin. Winner: Machine Gun Mayhem Rating: ***
Machine Gun rolls out of the ring and goes underneath pulling out something. He comes back and wraps ribbon around Gold’s unconscious head, then places a bow on top. He then grabs a microphone.
MGM: “Now. NOW. Jack Gold, NOW you are PERFECT!”
He then starts laughing hysterically before exiting the ring.
To say this match was hard hitting would be an understatement. Both men started out with a very small period of feeling each other out, before just unloading on each other. Both sides seemed to be trying to put it away early. And then a wild sequence occurred. Logan hit his jumping piledriver into a running dropkick for a 2 count. Brick got up and hit a huge chokeslam for a nearfall. Logan tossed Brick into the corner, and then hit a Logan’s Run DDT but couldn’t cover. Brick got up and hit ANOTHER chokeslam for ANOTHER nearfall. Logan- still dazed, counters a closeline into the sleeper drop, but cant hit the dropkick and instead runs right into a rolling chop into a bonzi drop for the pinfall.
Winner: Brick Rating: ***
Heavyweight Championship: “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt vs “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel
This was pretty much worst case scenario for the McDaniel family. The match started off fairly evenly- with both men exchanging moves and trying to feel each other out. No one was really able to gain an advantage- every time either man would start to go for more offense it was countered. Eventually, Lanky would seemingly take control of the match- hitting a top rope turnbuckle drop and follow it up with a rainmaker into a running spear for a very close nearfall. The offense was now all Lanky, with Doc reeling. A stomach crusher would turn into a modified sharpshooter that Doc would barely get to the ropes for. Out of what seemed like desperation, Doc hits a dragon screw and goes for the figure four- but its right by the ropes. As Lanky is getting up though, Doc hits the Black Gold and CRITICAL’s Lanky Lefty. Winner: “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt Rating: ***
Lanky is laying on the mat as medical tend to him. He seems to be clutching his shoulder. Doc celebrates in the ring, as KEVIN HUNTER comes out and stands on the ramp- pointing at Doc and motioning at the title belt. Doc points at him, and Hunters starts down the ramp before BRICK comes out and attacks him from behind, laying boots into him. Doc exits the ring and grabs a chair, and starts laying chair shots into the back of Hunter before spitting on him as both he and Brick celebrate at the top of the ramp as the show closes.
No- we did not know the Starboys would show up tonight. This…invasion was something that happened without my knowledge and I can guarantee- there will be consequences.
I also do not have an update on Lefty. He hurt his shoulder, he will be evaluated next week.
If Kevin Hunter wants to get his ass kicked, he should check with Lefty McDaniel and John Logan first. He might be winning matches against nobodies, but I am NOT a nobody. Congrats shitmeat- you have my attention now. Biggest mistake of your life.
A day after what happened, The Starboyz (Maat Hadad and Jay Zero) are lying on some pool tables and lounging. They're both soaking in the sun and content with what they did. Zero begins to talk...
Zero: You know Maat, we were growing a bit bored with AAW.
Hadad: That's damn right Jay, we were dabbling in the under-card when we should've had a shot to become kings.
Zero: So to all of those pundits that said: we're nothing without Adrien, I laugh at you, and I laugh at the notion. Most people have forgotten the decades I've put in this business, I was the one who trained Adrien into the megastar he is. And now, these people won't forget tonight. Once the chips are down and the cards are stacked me and Maat are going to destroy and conquer Warrior Pro.
Hadad: And Mr. Lawton did tell us to have fun while he recovers...
