Also, one issue I just realized that may have fucked up some of this--I looked back at previous polls to cobble a card, and I have previously listed La Pareja Nueva Atomica (El Hijo del Santo/Gory Guerrero) as "Los Guerreros del Infierno," a team name which properly belongs to Ultimo/Rey (who Dev had) and I accidentally used because of the Guerrero name.

So yeah. If that confused and then persuaded anyone, this should possibly be redone as Eric v. Dash. Let me know?

I've been a fan of Eco's all the way through, gotta go with him here.

I'm not one to sit here and argue my card vs. his card, etc. But I posted results earlier in the UWC thread, so here they are. I'm happy with my fed/cards regardless, so enjoy!

WINNER – Justin Gabriel via pinfall on Adam Pearce following the 450 Splash
The match was full of fast paced action from the start with everyone taking turns. Hero attempts to slow things down by locking Pearce in a cravate, but Brown immediately enters and decks both men. Williams and Gabriel enter but are met with backdrop drivers from Morishima. Brown then says something to Morishima in English, then repeats it in Japanese. Morishima says something back in Japanese, Brown responds, Morishima nods and they both LEAVE! The action then continues with the four remaining competitors until Gabriel scores the pin.

Who is the Baddest Man on the Planet?
Brock Lesnar vs. Taz
WINNER – Brock Lesnar via referee’s decision when Taz was not responsive in a front choke.
This match saw Brock dominate early with a power based offense, followed by a Taz comeback. The crowd was solidly behind both men, cheering for whoever was on the offensive. Once Brock cut off Taz’s offense, the final few minute were full of back and forth action, with each men kicking out of the other’s finisher. Taz went for the Tazmission, leading to a series of reversals that ended when Brock caught Taz in a front arm & head choke. Taz refused to tap, and was eventually choked out. During the post match interview, Brock said he wants a world title shot, and he wants to dominate the roster on his way up to it. He called out to Dashbee: “Set them all up, and I’ll knock them all down!’

UWC World Heavyweight Championship
The Great Muta (champion) vs. AJ Styles
WINNER – The Great Muta via submission with the Muta Lock
This match was everything you’d expect it to be. Non-stop action, crisp & fluid. There are high spots, submission exchanges, great counter wrestling and stiff shots throughout. A workrate dream match from two guys who can also tell a great story in the ring. After 30 minutes, AJ had Muta reeling, but couldn’t put him away. Muta did resort to the mist, but missed and took out a ref. That didn’t factor in the finish though, as Muta’s pinfalls were the ones missed due to the ref being out. Muta shook AJ’s hand after the match in a sign of respect.
