Team MNF:

No Card Submitted

[Doug]

Are you sure they just didn't announce their card in podcast form sharky?

That said, Serge had some fun storytelling anyways, so I don't feel so bad with him getting the easy vote for this one.

[Deleted]

And now you guys are seeing the other reason I was okay trading away Punk & Muta. I knew they wouldn't even likely be used.

Serge:

Like:

Great story telling. Will make me watch some matches I usually couldn't care less about.

Lane/Zenk v Gagne/brunzell

Don't Like:

Almost too much ginnickery going on. Modified Wargames. A brass Ring Strap Match. The Minneapolis cup. I don't see a simple X vs Y match. against someone else, that would hurt you IMO.

But, No card for MNF despite a LOADED Lineup? Voting Serge, easy.

[DevSop]

I think I mentioned it last draft...I'm voting against Wargames matches in these on principle. They're so overused for votes.

[Road Warrior Shark]

Forgot to mention the lack of Super P Cup in the card. not bothering me enough to vote for a no Card, but against a real opponent.....

Don't they have 3 people or their "team"? One of 'em couldn't spend 10 minutes putting a card together? What a waste...

I reminded Andy on Friday and again yesterday evening. He said that he notified James & Bartow yesterday.

Agreed with everything Shark said

I like some of Serge's card. Some, not so much. But voting it over no-card.

[Mr. Dashbee]

Card over no-card is always going to win for me. Even with the first card Wargames...

[Batman]

Results:

#1-- Brass Ring Strap match
Ladd defeats LT after a bloody battle to win the Brass Ring. Ladd's dirty tactics help him come out on top and head to the World Title match.

#2 -- Open Challenge Last Man Standing match
Sheik, Spike, and surprise entrant Mickie Knuckles all have their moments when they seem dominant, but in the end, Lesnar finally keeps everyone else down for ten. The brutality seems to exhilirate Lesnar.

#3-- Minneapolis Cup 1st round, Corner-man match
Sharkey's savvy interference helps his boys make it 1-0.

#4-- Standard one-fall match
Bruiser takes Reese apart and pins him pretty handily. Afterward, Corddrey is livid-- he gestures to the back and Giant Gonzales comes down to help Reese get the better of a post-match beatdown.

[Batman]

#5-- Makeover Match (Standard one-fall match. Loser must obey winner in matters of fashion until the next super-show in one month.)
This is a technical showcase, as advertised. Street's flirtatiousness fails to rattle Grey. But he still manages to come out on top, with the cheap roll-up with a handful of tights. Because it's funnier that way....

#6-- Armageddon Crown match -- best of three.
Lawler catches George with the piledriver for the first fall. Many teases of a quick shutout while George is still groggy. But then George catches Lawler with the roll-up with his feet on the ropes to even it up.... Then it's back and forth for a while. Finally, George hits his finisher, the flying rolling hip-lock to win the match. Lawler can no longer call himself "the King"!

#7-- Batman World Championship
Lesnar dominates Ladd, hitting the F5 and instead of going for the pin applying the Kimura and getting a quick tap-out.

[Batman]

#8-- Standard one-fall tag-team match
Terror Rockers control at first. RVD gets the hot tag, but the tide turns against him with clockwork teamwork. Terror Rockers hit the double-team finish-- superplex then frog splash-- but Hakushi makes the save. Then Silent & Violent take control when the Terror Rockers have miscommunication that takes Jannetty out of the equation. RVD hits the Van Terminator followed by the Five Star and gets the pin on Barr.

#9-- Beyond Wargames
It starts out fast and furious with Bourne and Kendrick. After 5 minutes of high-flying action, Abdullah comes out to give Hulkamania the man advantage. Bourne tries to stay out of reach, but Abby corners him and starts to bring the violence. But then Jacobs and Sandman come to the rescue giving For Mankind the man advantage. The three put a beatdown on Bourne and Abby for 5. Then Tiger Mask and Mistico enter-- high flying happens. After 5, Canek and Mankind enter to complete their team.

[Batman]

The Hulkamaniacs are getting destroyed. Then Hogan comes out last and cleans house as the cage descends.
From here on out it's--
1 pt: to pin a wrestler in your ring.
2 pts: to pin a wrestler in his ring.
3 pts: to pin the captain in his ring.
4 pts: to submit a wrestler anywhere. 5 pts: to pin the captain in your ring.

7 points for the win. Winning team's captain AND the MVP (based on points gained minus points lost) are BOTH #1 contenders at next month's Triple Trouble.
Mankind and Sandman go on offense for team "For Mankind" while Bourne, Tiger Mask, and Mistico take offense for Hulkamania.
Hogan pins Mankind (1 pt Hulkamania, 1 pt Hogan, -1 Mankind) Kendrick pins Bourne-- (1 pt "For Mankind", 1 Kendrick, -1 Bourne) Canek pins Mistico (3 For Mankind, 2 Canek, -2 Mistico) Bourne knocks Canek into Hulkamania ring with that flying kneedrop move and pins him (6 Hulkamania, 4 Bourne, -3 Canek), everyone charges the Hulkamania ring. Simultaneously, Bourne pins Kendrick and

[Batman]

Mankind makes Abby submit to the mandible claw! (Hulkamania 7, For Mankind 7, Bourne 5, Kendrick 0, Mankind 3, Abdullah -4) Sudden Death! Canek pins Hogan for 3 points and the win!

As captain of the winning team, Canek is #1 contender. As MVP Bourne is also #1 contender. EXCEPT. Then Lesnar comes down and brutalizes the exhausted wrestlers, especially the new #1 contenders. He puts Bourne into the Kimura Lock and...

...breaks his arm!

What will happen next?

[Batman]

LESNAR: I'd like to address some... things I've been hearing. Grumblings... Carping... DOUBTS!... Doubts about ME!! Your World Champion!?

People are actually saying that I-- of ALL people --am ducking challenges! I don't duck ANYBODY, they duck ME!!

First off, there's this Bourne kid. Just cause I broke his arm, doesn't mean I'm ducking him! I did him a favor-- saved him the embarrassment of losing to me at Triple Trouble!

But if he's a glutton for punishment, let him heal up and come challenge me! Don't worry-- I'll still be champ!

Others claim that I took him out cause I'm scared of taking on two men at once. That's NUTS-- I took on three wild brawlers with weapons of their choosing last night, and kept them all down for ten!

And it was fun!

And there are those (Mister Shark!) who wonder when I'm gonna defend this... gestures toward beautifully ornate trophy...

[Batman]

LESNAR (cont): LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU!! This is my championship... (holds up Batman World Championship)... I will defend it whenever I'm asked to, against anybody you throw at me. If you can beat me, you can have it... I don't think you can beat me!

THIS, on the other hand, is MY TROPHY! It means that I won the 2013 PWA Cup Battle Royale. It doesn't mean anything else! So even if you COULD beat me, you'd need a time machine to beat me FOR THIS!

If you want one so badly, win it NEXT year! (Though I've got my eye on that one, too!)

So, quit buggin' me about it!

[Eric O'Mac]

Not doing a fullcard breakdown. I voted Serg, but it's possible that if MNF had put anything up, I may have went with them. Serg's card is too heavy on the stipulations.
