Story developments of note-- * The Battleborn have left Snowflake/Condron. He showed up and called them out for their failures thus far this year (namely, losing their shot at the tag titles), and claimed they'd been nothing before they met him, and were nothing without him. Calhoun said they'd done just fine without him and they don't need him anymore, and walked out on him. Missile was about to do the same, but Snowflake said he still had his journal, and reminded him of the what he did. (Missile Assault Ant Blew Up A Busload Of Children.) He mockingly sang "The Wheels on the Bus," and even brought up Orbit Adventure Ant, while MAM had flashbacks in the ring, until he finally snapped, his PTSD triggered, and destroyed Snowflake with uppercuts, stomps and three separate Missile Launchers. * UltraMantis Black was possessed by Nazmaldun last month when Hallowicked used the Eye of Tyr on him, and now he apparently has hypnotic powers absorbed from the Eye. He turned up after the Batiri's match and enthralled them, then ordered them to "Take me home." Then later, after Icarus was eliminated from the Gauntlet, he turned up again and hypnotized Icarus as well, and again ordered him to "Take me home." Mantis is still in the wheelchair.

Had a fun time at the two shows, though the first one's extremely short. Here are the results: Whisper House - Silver Ant defeated Frightmare via roll-up. Pretty good match, though not nearly as good as their match at the finale. After the match, Frightmare attacked Silver Ant and pinned him down while counting to three. He left in a huff, swearing that he wasn't a disappointment to Nazmaldun, but the crowd chanted, "DISAPPOINTMENT!" at him regardless. - Wani squashed a jobber. - Jakob cut a promo, demanding Kimber Lee come out. He ranted about how the queen should be subservient to the king. Jaka appeared and laid out Kimber Lee while Jakob stole the tiara for himself. - The Batiri beat Mr. Azerbaijan/Boar of Moldova via reversing the Boar Goar into that drop-toe-hold/knee-to-head team-up attack. After the match, UltraMantis Black (Nazmaldun himself) appeared in his wheelchair and when Batiri came closer, he put his hands up and put them in a trance. They then left with him. - Hallowicked beat Soldier Ant with the Never Wake Up DDT. Great match. - NRG beat Juan Francisco de Coronado/Prakash Sabar via DQ. This is the first time I've seen NRG compete in a while and Race Jackson's shredded as hell these days. In the end, Hype accidentally knocked down the ref while doing his Blackhole Slam backbreaker thing on Sabar. Mr. Touchdown came out with a chair and handed it to Juan. Juan was pleased until Touchdown wouldn't let it go. They did tug of war for a second until Touchdown finally let go as the ref was coming to. The ref disqualified the United Nations as Touchdown was all, "I can't believe you were going to use a chair! That's crazy!" - Kimber Lee pinned Jaka with the Alligator Clutch. Really good match that played up Jaka as a monster against Kimber Lee's plucky babyface. Kids freaking LOVE Kimber Lee. Afterwards, she got her tiara back. The Distant Future - Sea Stars defeated Orange Cassidy and Swamp Monster. This one was a total comedy match and barely even two-on-two, since Swamp Monster barely took on the Sea Stars and instead got antagonized by Orange. Orange was very, very insistent that nobody chop him, all while chopping everyone else, including Swamp Monster and Bryce. Both Sea Stars and Bryce ended up giving him repeated chops, then they went around the crowd, letting people chop him. I got in on that. It ended with the Sea Stars double-teaming Orange while Swampy just sat outside the ring, crying and not helping. - Snowflake and Snow Troll appeared. He called out Juke Joint and Missile Assault Man, calling them losers without him around because they recently lost a title shot. Juke Joint told him off and stormed off. MAM was about to follow, but Snowflake started mocking him, saying that he still has his journal. He started singing "The Wheels on the Bus" to piss him off, then stomped around while repeating, "ORBIT! ADVENTURE! ANT!" Finally, MAM snapped and took down both Snowflake and Snow Troll (who was a real pushover). He hit his corner throw finisher on Snowflake, but he kept mocking him, saying, "Your friend is dead because of you." He angrily hit his finisher again, but Snowflake still weakly told him that he has his journal and knows he sold his soul. A third finisher knocked him out, but finally officials dragged Snowflake away. Even though the fans were chanting for Missile Assault Man, he looked incensed and grabbed his head while walking away. Snow Troll sadly crawled under the ring and was never seen again. - Officer Barksdale beat Argus with a running powerslam. Decent face vs. face match between two young guys. Argus has a new look these days. Barksdale did briefly glare into the crowd when someone shouted, "He's a dirty cop!" - Osirian Portal defeated TDT. Awesome match. Afterwards, the crowd chanted "PLEASE COME BACK!" at TDT and to play up being heels, they acted like they didn't understand English and walked away. - The Infinite Gauntlet happened. 33 people coming out every 88 seconds using Wrestlefest Royal Rumble rules (over the top rope or pinfall, including dogpile pins). In no order, the wrestlers were Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace, Icarus, Dasher Hatfield, Mr. Touchdown, Juan Francisco de Coronado, Prakash Sabar, Wani, Arctic Rescue Ant, Missile Assault Man, Juke Joint, Oleg the Usurper, Snitsky, Brian Meyers, Sidney Bakabella's new client, Hallowicked, Frightmare, Blind Rage, Cheech, Jigsaw (who was unannounced going into the show), Shane Storm, Hermit Crab, Thunderfrog, Jervis Cottonbelly, Ice Cream Jr., El Hijo del Ice Cream, Kobald, Worker Ant, Fire Ant, Touch Phillips (Chuck Taylor), Jakob Hammermeier, Pinkie Sanchez and Steve "The Turtle" Weiner. They had a really nice setup for it where the monitors would show what looks like a speedometer, constantly counting 88 seconds. Oleg and Frightmare started with Arctic Rescue Ant as #3. Arctic was the iron man of the match with Wani and Missile Assault Man in second and third. They went a long time without any elimination until Juke Joint, Missile Assault Man and Wani started working together to get some pins. Arctic Rescue Ant and Worker Ant befriended each other a bit and worked together to help stop them. Snitsky appeared with a baby doll in his hand and started dealing out eliminations. All 9 or 10 people in the ring teamed up to throw him out, but he was able to hold on and power out. Then Bakabella's "Ultimate Paywindow" showed up, dressed up as the Giant Machine/WCW Master. As mentioned, he's even taller than Snitsky. He pinned him with a chokeslam (I think, I was paying more attention to Jervis' entrance). Afterwards, Bakabella pointed out Oleg as the man who hurt him. The giant guy destroyed Oleg and eliminated him. Then everyone teamed up on him and got him out. Bakabella was fine with it, saying he took out Oleg and that's what was important. Ice Cream Jr. spent over half of the match hiding and coiled up in the corner with nobody paying him any mind. Juan Francisco came out at #33 and spent several minutes walking to the ring. Icarus, Dasher and Heidi worked as a unit for the most part, but Heidi refused to have anything to do with Touchdown. Dasher tried to eliminate Touchdown, but got thrown out himself. When Icarus was eliminated, UltraMantis appeared again in his wheelchair. UltraMantis magically put Icarus in a daze and although Heidi tried to stop it, Hallowicked grabbed her from behind and threw her back into the ring. Speaking of dazes, there was this one weird moment where Pinkie Sanchez was kneeling in the center of the ring, muttering to himself before breaking out some martial arts offense to anyone who attacked him. Don't know what that was about. The final six were Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace, Mr. Touchdown, Hallowicked, Juan Francisco and Jigsaw. Kimber Lee and Heidi had an awesome spot where one would run the ropes and the other would run with them and nail a clothesline before switching. After a couple of these, Kimber Lee ran towards the ropes, ducked down, pulled the rope down and Heidi flew out of the ring. Soon after, Kimber Lee and Jigsaw tried to eliminate someone and Juan Francisco threw both of them out at the same time. That left three and they played up the Juan Francisco/Touchdown rivalry. Touchdown pressed him over his head and threw him out of the ring. Hallowicked attacked from behind and threw him over the top rope, but Touchdown landed on the apron. The two duked it out with Touchdown getting the better. He jumped up to reenter the ring, but Juan Francisco grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him to the floor. Hallowicked won and now has his own golden opportunity, meaning he can get his revenge by Money in the Banking Kimber Lee. - There was an encore match between Race Jackson and Boar of Moldova. Race won within a couple minutes.

For anyone that cares, Hallowicked posted a blog on ChikaraPro.com, suggesting that Nazmaldun's army (aka "The Eight Pillars of Woe") will get larger, after UltraMantis Black/Nazmaldun hypnotized the Batiri and Icarus into joining his army.quote:Tomorrow Never Dies. December 14th 2014. This was the day I cast off the bonds of my slavery and turned to serve a true cause. It was the day Delirious pressed the Eye of Tyr against my head and whispered into my ear the very key to unlocking my shackles. I lived a lifetime in what was only experienced as a moment to the rest of the world. I saw visions that would shatter the minds of most beings like a piece of glass being dropped from the top of the world. Perhaps that was Delirious' intention, to make me into what he is, a raving lunatic. Regardless of what he wished, the images he showed me placed me on the path I walk this day. Given Wicked's talking about there being eight Pillars of Woe, it seems a given that the Torneo Cibernetico at the season finale will feature the Pillars of Woe against some team of heroes trying to stop Nazmaldun's spread.

All right, so who are the three future victims?quote:First, I saw The Wanderer. The painted man. He attempted to serve two masters and was ripped asunder for it. The only "painted" guys left after the Batiri are DevCorp and Snowflake. Though I imagine it's Oleg the Usurper, who wore facepaint as part of King of Trios and was "ripped asunder" for trying to serve UltraMantis and Bakabella at the same time. Plus he needs something to do. quote:Next I was shown The Worm. The one that should not be. He possessed a weapon of his own and my master beckoned for it. Thunderfrog notably possesses a weapon and considering he's been brought back from the dead, he "should not be." quote:Last I saw the betrayer. His blood was colder than the driven snow and he made corpses of his friends and allies of their foes. Sounds like he means Eddie Kingston, but Snowflake and Missile Assault Man work too. Arctic Rescue Ant if it's something completely out of left field.
