Sorry for the delay my negro/negrisses! Without any grandstanding or whatnot, may I present to you:
KAZMONSTUH REACTS TO ASESINATO DE MAYO!!!
Rey de Mexico Tournament Finals
It's here. The finals of the Rey de Mexico Tourny. Kyle Steele announces it will be a Texas Deathmatch and out comes Gravedigger to officiate the match. The competitors - Taco, Betty Adams (escorted by her doting son, Spencer), and "Billy" (WILDCARD BABY!!!) - make their way to the ring and the match is off. The three trade some back and forth before the real Billy makes his way to the ring. Betty Adams unmasks "Billy" who turns out to be Joey Flash in disguise all along! They chase Joey out of the arena with whips before Betty picks up the win and becomes REINA DA MEXICO!!!
FIRE! WHIPS! CHUPACABRAS! GANGSTERS! RIOTS! TACOS!!! This whole series was phenomenal! A nice disruption from our usual week to week power plays and the what not. I was 100% thrilled with this throughout the duration of it and I want to take this moment to thank Gravedigger for all the effort he put into this for the sake of our entertainment! Thanks GD!
Also, Betty Adams you Bad Bitch. Sticks and stones may break her bones but chains and whips excite her. Congratulations to our new Reina de Mexico.

Snapz vs Raymond Hatcher vs Marcus Cain vs Jack Coston vs Joey Raid vs Teo Del Sol
The competitors start making their way to the ring, but abruptly stop when Hatcher cuts an interview with Hank Brown. Hatcher talks about how this isn't his first foray into the world of PPV's (the aptly named Being The Much Better You Because You Can Do Whatever You Want To Do By Doing The Best At What You Do Special being his first) and that he's excited to perform in front of the entire world tonight. He talks about winning before heading out to the ring as the rest of the competition files out. They get off to an explosive start, and the action remains that way through the rest of the bout, showing off each individuals specific skill set. The match comes to a dusty finish when Hatcher is about to pick up the win over Snapz, but Jack Coston sneaks up from behind and tosses Hatcher out of the ring. He drops Snapz with the Saint Pauls Blessing and pins Snapz for the victory. Hatcher didn't let Coston ruin his debut as Hatcher raises his hand in "victory".
This was an awesome match! The action started before the bell rang and didn't end even after the match was over. Match writer for this one deserves huge kudos because this was quite literally the longest clusterfuck match I've read outside of WAR. They took the time to get to know all the characters here and it came across in the writing. It all sets up an interesting feud - if they choose to pursue it - between Coston and Hatcher. Coston picks up the victory but Hatcher celebrates it. Maybe an odd paired Tag Team duo? Think about it guys!
Rating: 10/10
K.L. Henson vs John Michaels
The action kicks off and the two have a very knockdown dragout fight, suitable to John Michaels style of match. They trade a lot of brutal back and forth before Henson locks in Dead Value, Michaels submits, and Henson picks up his PPV debut victory.
This was a pretty great match. The only thing I really have an kind of issue with (and it's probably just me being nitpicky) but they seemed to be going for each others throats when the two don't really have any beef with each other. That could just be Michaels being Michaels and Henson being Henson, but there wasn't any spectacular build for what appeared to be a blood match. Other than that, spectacularly written match, and a great win for the up and coming Henson.
Rating: 7.5/10
Alex Richards Segment
Alex comes out and breaks his silence on Jayson Price being literally kicked out of Pantheon. He talks about his match at XIII and what drove him to join Pantheon, and then what drove him to doing what they did to Price. He says he didn't have much to say last week because the choice was obvious.
This.
This segment right here.
Alex showcased another side of himself, and also showed everyone what he can do on the stick. This was a serious break from Alex's usual comedy routine, but it didn't seem out of character for the big guy at all. He explained his reasoning for wanting to join Pantheon other than thr name. He had intention, and he delivered on the mic. He made you feel for him by talking about how he's been screwed by Price ever since joining Pantheon, but he's ready to right the ship. He just became one of Pantheon's most valuable members with this promo (not to say the others aren't. They just need a little more establishment and integration into Pantheon)
Great job Alex!
Segment: 10/10
Handicapped Match
Oblivion vs WickedBioWalker vs Zombie McMorris
McMorris and Oblivion take turns fucking WickedBioWalker up before turning towards each other. ZMAC hits Obi with a sick springboard hurricanrana before the three man team starts laying the boots to both men. They push ZMAC out of the ring before Obi hits BioWalker with the 5150 and picks up the victory.
What was shaping up to be a normal jobber kill for ZMAC turned into a pretty great match with the addition of Oblivion. Oblivion picking up the W here catapults him back into prominence after a rough couple of months for the Monster. The promos leading up to this one could possibly result in a feud between a newly FACE Z and Oblivion trying to get back yo his monstrous roots. Only time can tell what will happen though!
Rating: 8/10
Katherine Pheonix vs Celeste
Kat and Celeste tear each other to shreada in the ring. Blood is spilled on both sides before Celeste picks up the win by choking Katherine out with a piece of rope. Celeste takes the stick and says she hates Katherine Pheonix. She's not done with her and she won't rest until she's dead in the ground. Logan comes out for the save on Katherine...but it was all a ploy! Logan and Celeste make mouth love and feign sexual acts of sex and sex things which causes Katherine to flip the fuck out. She blindsides Gravedigger and a few fans before making her way to the back.
This match was a downright Assassination. ADM lived up to it's name off of the story these two built leading up to the event, and this match delivered in every way possible. Katherine has been raising her stock since her debut, and Celeste's definitely just went up tenfold. This feud has the potential to carry out over several PPV's. You two work great together!...that being said though, you should definitely consider throwing a wrench in the works and adding a third person into this feud. Who could it be? I don't know, but these things have a way of working themselves out.
Great job Kat and Celeste for an excellent build to an ever expanding story!
Rating: 10/10
Kat/K.L. Henson Segment
Katherine's backstage fumimg when K.L. comes up and they start talking. Katherine makes a call to Kari, Jeff Purse's boo thing, and threatens her life with a knife. KL says that's not how he would have gone about things, but he's glad Katherine is seeing things from his POV. KL talks about this is a wondeful moment for personal-social-anthropology and they part ways after Katherine talks about fucking shit up.
This segment was good, but my opinion is it could have waited until Slam. K.L and Katherine have a unique chemistry, and she needs a new person im her corner after Logan pumped the brakes on that shit. Lile I said though, good segment, bad timing. I liked to leave the Kat/Celeste story on Kat fuming mad. Imagine you see her two weeks later and she's still fuming until K.L. manages to calm her down if only for a moment? That would have been more inpactful. Just my two cents doe.
Rating: 6.5/10
People's Title Match
Scarecrow vs Vulgar
Scarecrow and Vulgar duke it out in one of the most hard fought matches for the People's Championship witnessed im an age. They trade the offense before Scarecrow drops Vulgar with the Murder of Crows and picks up the W, retaining his championship strap.
This match was great. The polls for the People's Championship matches have been hotly contested these passed few defenses, which is clearly great booking on Seth's part and a view into just how popular everybody on the roster is. When the polls are literally split, and you're winning by 1-2 votes, it just goes to show how much your vote counts.
Also, throwing a little of Bobby's insanity into the match writing made reading it that much more entertaining for the people who all had a stake in this match.
Rating: 10/10
Katherine Pheonix/Howard Black Segment
Katherine gets in Howards face talking some mess and threatening him. Howard says he doesnt have to stand for this shit and calls for security. It takes them a minute, but they get there and break up the ensuing brawl.
This is another great segment that suffered a little bit from bad timing. This all could have waited until Slam. PPV's arent so much for building on new story, but more so about bringing them to a collusion, or continuing them. Katherine has her fingers in too many cookie jars right now and needs to tone it back just a tad. You're in about a hundred storylines right now when your story with Celeste is Aces! Stick to one, plant seeds for another. Otherwise, this was a very well written segment so no complaints n that end.
Rating: 7.5/10
Internet Title Match
Alex Richards vs Kyle Kemp
Alex and Kyle have a very styles clash type of match, but in a good way. Kemp sets up for Back to the Minors...but he misses! Alex scoops him for the Zimquila Hangover for the three count. John Michaels cuts through the crowd to lay a post match beatdown on Kyle Kemp...what does this mysterious newcomer have against Kyle?
You know, I gotta say...Alex is utterly dominating the IT division. Is there anyone that can step up to this Keyboard Behemoth? I'm not too sure there is. There has to.be somebody out there who can give this guy a run for his money, but I'm hard pressed to say who.
This was a very entertaining match. Just enough action, and a lot of drama. Just a good old fashioned wrestling match.
Rating: 8.5/10
Howard Black vs Spencer Adams
Howard Black and Spencer Adams trade some great offense before Howard picks up the win with a Kimura Lock.
This wasn't exactly a make or break match for either men. It was great storyline progression for Howard, who's on track to facing TUB for that TV Title down the road. He may just be TUB's greatest challenge yet. Does he possess the scruples?
On the other side, you have Spencer Adams. I'm gonna go off on a little tangent here for a second and say that Spencer Adams kind of reminds me of me when I was using Colin Marshall. The talents there, the desires there, but there's an integral piece of the puzzle missing that will help Spencer Adams stand out from the crowd. It's not a knock at him in any way because the guys got talent for days. Maybe his program for the People's Championship will help him out? The one thing I can tell you is to find a way to get your guy involved in something. Any kind of feud, my man. Get Spencer out there. Expand his horizons. Don't let him get lost in the shuffle. Find somebody to collaborate with on a story and make it epic. You're passed the beginner phase in your career, and it's time for you to start banking those W's. I know you can do it!
This was a very well written match!
Rating: 7.5/10
Barbed Wire Cage Match
Winner Becomes #1 Contender to the United States Title
Danny Anderson vs Occulo
Danny and Occulo have a vile, bloody, sickening match inside the BWC that ends after Danny jumps off the top with an elbow drop and crashes down on top of Occulo, covering him for the pinfall.
This was an awesome match that lived up to the the hype the two built for it. These two mesh incredibly well together, and I couldn't have been more over the moon for these two guys facing off.
What's really awesome about it is it's helping bring more prominence to the US Title picture, something that it's been lacking for a while. Great storylines + great matches + great characters = more prestige for the title they're vying for. WCF can't function without a very strong upper midcard. (Well, I guess it could, but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.) These are guys thay are being groomed for WHC runs someday, and they're doing it just right!
GO DANNY AND OCCULO! GREAT JOB!
Rating: 10/10
United States Championship Match
Mikey Extreme vs Kaz Mazy
The two have a competitive bout before Mikey Extreme picks up the W after hitting X Marks The Spot, Explosion, and securing his first singles title.
*Kaz flips table again*
JK
Crowd: LETS GO MIKEY!!! LETS GO MIKEY!!!
Mikey picks up a huge victory and picks hp his first singles title victory. The US Title has had a lot of buzz around it this past month due to Danny and Occulo feuding over number one contendership and the title changing hands at the last few PPVs. Now it's in a favorable position because you have a new champion, and three guys with a legitimate reason to want to chase the US championship. I would expect to see a fatal four way match at Blast, and thd biggest test yet for all four competitors involved.
Great match writing from Oblivion!
Rating: 9/10
Hardcore Title Match
Torture In Marc Mayhem's Corner
Mod Deuce vs Marc Mayhem
Torture makes his way out to the ring. Marc next followed by Mod Deuce. Brutal hardcore action (not in a gay way) ensues before Marc Mayhem takes Mod Deuce for Cab Ride and snags that Hardcore Championship up. Torture gets in the ring to congratulate Marc on winning a belt he made famous. He tells Marc he's a future WHC before saying he wish Marc didn't say those things about him. TEAM OF TORTURE HITS THE RING AND DECIMATES THE NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!!! Torture hits the mic again and berates Maec for talking down to him. Oblivion with the save!...but the forces are overwhelming and the Monster gets pushed back. Mayhem slits in Tortures face before Tort humiliates Marc and drops him with a Tortures Device. Torture announces ToT is back in business, lbeot out of contract, and then leaves with Mayhem's Hardcore Championship.
This was every bit as epic as I was hoping it would be. It lived up to the hype they built leading in to ADM and was one of the best stories told in a while. I'm glad to see it continuing even further, and we're more than likely going to see Torture vs Mayhem for the Hardcore Championship in the very near future.
Also just wanted to use this public forum to say congratulations to Marc! Way to go man!
Also, where can I get that jetpack you riding on?

Trios Cup Tournament Finals
Trios Titles Match
Television Title on the Line
Winner Gets A World Title Shot
Two And A Half Black Guys vs The DRG
Jonny Fly/Steve Orbit/Corey Black vs Thomas Uriel Bates/Gemini Battle/Deuce Murdock
The six men make their way to the ring as Bates and Orbit kick off the match. Orbit quick tags out to Fly and Fly steps up to see if he can swat the beast. After taking punishment from Bates, Fly manages to gain control and spear the giant off his feet. He tags in Black - who still has an elbow injury - and starts chopping away at Bates with hard elbow strikes. Bates regains control and tags in Battle. Battle works down the injured elbow before both men take each other out with massive clotheslines. Before the ten count, both men manage to tag in partners and now Deuce and Orbit hit the ring. They trade offrnse before Gonzo nails Orbit with his own move - The Pimp Slap. Orbits quick to his feet (dat PIMP SLAP RESILIENCY) and shows Deuce how it's done with a Pimp Slap of his own. Orbit gains control and tags in Fly. Gemini tags himself in on an irish whip rebound and takes Fly out as he heads to his corner, knocking all three members of 2-1/2BM off the apron. Gemini climbs the turnbuckle and hits the three with a high risk plancha in a classic spot. Gemini goes for another suicide dive and eats an uppercut from Fly and Fly tags in Black. Black gains control and goes for the BURNING HAMMER!!! but Gemini escapes and tags in Gonzo and Black tags in Orbit. After some back and forth, Gonzo nails Orbit with the Chuck Norris Special. Orbit tags in Black, who eats a Bat Country from Deuce. Deuce pins Black and picks up the victory, securing the Trios Championship for his team and a WHC Match at Blast. DRG hits the ring and they all celebrate the big win for their stable.
WOW! WHAT A MATCH! The action was just spectacular in this one. All six men showed off their skills and we even got a little Orbit/Deuce action. Everyone came out of this match looking like a million bucks and new champions are born.
Deuce picks up a WHC match and now its time for him to step up to the plate and prove he can hold down that strap.
Trio Tag Team Championship belts are a great idea, but they're going to be a little difficult to book moving forward, IMO. There's going to have to be a special event for them somewhere. Maybe Wednesday Night show? It would be a good place to showcase them without having to jank a good portion of upper midcard to main event talent for an epic six man tag team (maybe more) every PPV. Just a thought there. It's going to need to be featured heavily to not feel like a one off thing and risk the belts feeling stagnant where guys just hold them for three months at a time without a defense. I'm not saying that IS goimg to happen, but it's a possibility and I'm sure Seth has a plan for them moving forward.
Otherwise, great job and effort from everybody involved in this match and creating an epic moment that will live in Trios history!

Dune Segment
We're in The Sentinels locker room where Occ and Howard are tendimg to.their wounds. They talk about Dune's upcoming title match and how they'll be ready this time if Imperium tries to interfere in the match at all. Howard tells Dune to go do right.
The match is about to start.
Enter Sandman.
I don't really feel the need to review this one. Badass intro into the:
World Title Match
Dune vs ICE Beckman
Special Guest Referee: Isaiah Chavis
Isaiah Chavis hits the ring first. The challenger Dune makes his way out first followed by the WHC ICE BECKMAN! The two start the match as the action quickly takes a turn to an imrpomptu No Holds Barred match! The two trade brutal offense, kicking out of signatures and finishers galore! The crowd is on their feet and loving the match! Beckman hits the Hangover DDT!
ONE
TWO
THREE
OH NO! DUNE KICKS OUT! HE WINDS UP A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES GIVEN TO HIM BY CHAVIS EARLIER IN THE MATCH AND NAILS BECKMAN!
ONE
TWO
THREE
NO! BECKMAN KICKS OUT BAH GAWD!
THEY BOTH SLOWLY GET TO THEIR FEET AS BECKMAN WINDS UP WITH A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES OF HIS OWN! DUNE DUCKS!
SANDSTORM!...BUT ICE ESCAPES! ICE TEARS AT DUNE'S MASK BEFORE DUNE DROPS BECKMAN...AND TEARS HIS VERY OWN MASK AWAY REVEALING THE SCARRED TISSUE UNDERNEATH. ICE HESITATES AND THAT'S ALL THE TIME DUNE NEEDS!
SANDSTORM TO ICE!!!
ONE
TWO
THREE!!!
AND WE HAVE A NEW WORLD CHAMPION!
ICE gets to his feet and argues with Chavis, who hits the former World Champion with a Jester Drop and goes for the Carnival of Carnage!...but Dune catches Isaiah and slams him to the mat.
The PPV comes to a close with Dune standing in the ring with his head and belt held high.
WOW! This main event was amazing, and an incredible moment for Dune! I knew Dune was a future World Champion, but if you told me he was going to do it so fast, man I honestly don't know what my answer would have been.
He came in, crushed the Trilogy Cup and took that opportunity at the World Title running. Posting all three of his promos in one day was an incredible tactic, and halfway through the week was no doubt a crushing blow to our previous champion ICE.
With ICE on hiatus for the unforeseeable future, the landscape of the World title picture is about to drastically change.
Deuce is Dune's first challenge as World Champion, and will be the perfect test to see if Dune has the mettle to carry a World title reign into Ultimate Showdown, which is an epic test of skill for whoever our World Champion may be when that time rolls around.
Congratulations Dune! You've earned this belt, but now you're also in a sink or swim position. The Sentinels just entered a sink or swim moment in their career, for sure.
Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
There were a few moments here and there that "hindered the flow" so to speak, but nothing too drastic.
This was an amazing PPV, and a good kick off of shaking things up heading into Ultimate Showdown season, and afterwards...ON TO WAR!!!
KazMonstuh's OF THE WEEK:
Match of the Week: Marc Mayhem w/Torture vs Mod Deuce.
- Incredible storytelling from Marc/Torture heading into this one, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Wrestler of the Week: NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DUNE!!!
- Beating ICE Beckman is no fucking joke, but Dune managed to pull it off with some style! Congratulations to the NEW WHC!!!

What's really awesome about it is it's helping bring more prominence to the US Title picture, something that it's been lacking for a while. Great storylines + great matches + great characters = more prestige for the title they're vying for. WCF can't function without a very strong upper midcard. (Well, I guess it could, but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.) These are guys thay are being groomed for WHC runs someday, and they're doing it just right!
GO DANNY AND OCCULO! GREAT JOB!

United States Championship Match
Mikey Extreme vs Kaz Mazy
The two have a competitive bout before Mikey Extreme picks up the W after hitting X Marks The Spot, Explosion, and securing his first singles title.
*Kaz flips table again*

Crowd: LETS GO MIKEY!!! LETS GO MIKEY!!!
Mikey picks up a huge victory and picks hp his first singles title victory. The US Title has had a lot of buzz around it this past month due to Danny and Occulo feuding over number one contendership and the title changing hands at the last few PPVs. Now it's in a favorable position because you have a new champion, and three guys with a legitimate reason to want to chase the US championship. I would expect to see a fatal four way match at Blast, and thd biggest test yet for all four competitors involved.
Great match writing from Oblivion!

Hardcore Title Match
Torture In Marc Mayhem's Corner
Mod Deuce vs Marc Mayhem
Torture makes his way out to the ring. Marc next followed by Mod Deuce. Brutal hardcore action (not in a gay way) ensues before Marc Mayhem takes Mod Deuce for Cab Ride and snags that Hardcore Championship up. Torture gets in the ring to congratulate Marc on winning a belt he made famous. He tells Marc he's a future WHC before saying he wish Marc didn't say those things about him. TEAM OF TORTURE HITS THE RING AND DECIMATES THE NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!!! Torture hits the mic again and berates Maec for talking down to him. Oblivion with the save!...but the forces are overwhelming and the Monster gets pushed back. Mayhem slits in Tortures face before Tort humiliates Marc and drops him with a Tortures Device. Torture announces ToT is back in business, lbeot out of contract, and then leaves with Mayhem's Hardcore Championship.
This was every bit as epic as I was hoping it would be. It lived up to the hype they built leading in to ADM and was one of the best stories told in a while. I'm glad to see it continuing even further, and we're more than likely going to see Torture vs Mayhem for the Hardcore Championship in the very near future.
Also just wanted to use this public forum to say congratulations to Marc! Way to go man!
Also, where can I get that jetpack you riding on?

Trios Cup Tournament Finals
Trios Titles Match
Television Title on the Line
Winner Gets A World Title Shot
Two And A Half Black Guys vs The DRG
Jonny Fly/Steve Orbit/Corey Black vs Thomas Uriel Bates/Gemini Battle/Deuce Murdock
The six men make their way to the ring as Bates and Orbit kick off the match. Orbit quick tags out to Fly and Fly steps up to see if he can swat the beast. After taking punishment from Bates, Fly manages to gain control and spear the giant off his feet. He tags in Black - who still has an elbow injury - and starts chopping away at Bates with hard elbow strikes. Bates regains control and tags in Battle. Battle works down the injured elbow before both men take each other out with massive clotheslines. Before the ten count, both men manage to tag in partners and now Deuce and Orbit hit the ring. They trade offrnse before Gonzo nails Orbit with his own move - The Pimp Slap. Orbits quick to his feet (dat PIMP SLAP RESILIENCY) and shows Deuce how it's done with a Pimp Slap of his own. Orbit gains control and tags in Fly. Gemini tags himself in on an irish whip rebound and takes Fly out as he heads to his corner, knocking all three members of 2-1/2BM off the apron. Gemini climbs the turnbuckle and hits the three with a high risk plancha in a classic spot. Gemini goes for another suicide dive and eats an uppercut from Fly and Fly tags in Black. Black gains control and goes for the BURNING HAMMER!!! but Gemini escapes and tags in Gonzo and Black tags in Orbit. After some back and forth, Gonzo nails Orbit with the Chuck Norris Special. Orbit tags in Black, who eats a Bat Country from Deuce. Deuce pins Black and picks up the victory, securing the Trios Championship for his team and a WHC Match at Blast. DRG hits the ring and they all celebrate the big win for their stable.
WOW! WHAT A MATCH! The action was just spectacular in this one. All six men showed off their skills and we even got a little Orbit/Deuce action. Everyone came out of this match looking like a million bucks and new champions are born.
Deuce picks up a WHC match and now its time for him to step up to the plate and prove he can hold down that strap.
Trio Tag Team Championship belts are a great idea, but they're going to be a little difficult to book moving forward, IMO. There's going to have to be a special event for them somewhere. Maybe Wednesday Night show? It would be a good place to showcase them without having to jank a good portion of upper midcard to main event talent for an epic six man tag team (maybe more) every PPV. Just a thought there. It's going to need to be featured heavily to not feel like a one off thing and risk the belts feeling stagnant where guys just hold them for three months at a time without a defense. I'm not saying that IS goimg to happen, but it's a possibility and I'm sure Seth has a plan for them moving forward.
Otherwise, great job and effort from everybody involved in this match and creating an epic moment that will live in Trios history!

Dune Segment
We're in The Sentinels locker room where Occ and Howard are tendimg to.their wounds. They talk about Dune's upcoming title match and how they'll be ready this time if Imperium tries to interfere in the match at all. Howard tells Dune to go do right.
The match is about to start.
Enter Sandman.
I don't really feel the need to review this one. Badass intro into the:
World Title Match
Dune vs ICE Beckman
Special Guest Referee: Isaiah Chavis
Isaiah Chavis hits the ring first. The challenger Dune makes his way out first followed by the WHC ICE BECKMAN! The two start the match as the action quickly takes a turn to an imrpomptu No Holds Barred match! The two trade brutal offense, kicking out of signatures and finishers galore! The crowd is on their feet and loving the match! Beckman hits the Hangover DDT!

OH NO! DUNE KICKS OUT! HE WINDS UP A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES GIVEN TO HIM BY CHAVIS EARLIER IN THE MATCH AND NAILS BECKMAN!

NO! BECKMAN KICKS OUT BAH GAWD!
THEY BOTH SLOWLY GET TO THEIR FEET AS BECKMAN WINDS UP WITH A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES OF HIS OWN! DUNE DUCKS!
SANDSTORM!...BUT ICE ESCAPES! ICE TEARS AT DUNE'S MASK BEFORE DUNE DROPS BECKMAN...AND TEARS HIS VERY OWN MASK AWAY REVEALING THE SCARRED TISSUE UNDERNEATH. ICE HESITATES AND THAT'S ALL THE TIME DUNE NEEDS!
SANDSTORM TO ICE!!!

AND WE HAVE A NEW WORLD CHAMPION!
ICE gets to his feet and argues with Chavis, who hits the former World Champion with a Jester Drop and goes for the Carnival of Carnage!...but Dune catches Isaiah and slams him to the mat.
The PPV comes to a close with Dune standing in the ring with his head and belt held high.
WOW! This main event was amazing, and an incredible moment for Dune! I knew Dune was a future World Champion, but if you told me he was going to do it so fast, man I honestly don't know what my answer would have been.
He came in, crushed the Trilogy Cup and took that opportunity at the World Title running. Posting all three of his promos in one day was an incredible tactic, and halfway through the week was no doubt a crushing blow to our previous champion ICE.
With ICE on hiatus for the unforeseeable future, the landscape of the World title picture is about to drastically change.
Deuce is Dune's first challenge as World Champion, and will be the perfect test to see if Dune has the mettle to carry a World title reign into Ultimate Showdown, which is an epic test of skill for whoever our World Champion may be when that time rolls around.
Congratulations Dune! You've earned this belt, but now you're also in a sink or swim position. The Sentinels just entered a sink or swim moment in their career, for sure.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10
There were a few moments here and there that "hindered the flow" so to speak, but nothing too drastic.
This was an amazing PPV, and a good kick off of shaking things up heading into Ultimate Showdown season, and afterwards...ON TO WAR!!!
