I've been considering finding some sort of medium to continue the FLPW cannon outside of recording/streaming episodes ever since I launched the now non-existant N64 version of the promotion. I first started out with making a Wikia page, but good lord that's not an easy thing to start from scratch. I'm pretty sure you can find the shattered remains of it somewhere on the internet.
So for the time being, I'm going to be posting news items and editorials here! Hope that this turns out better than the Wikia page did did.
Well, another FLPW A.I. Single Elimination Tournament is done and over with after a long 7 hour stream (if you include the pre-tournament non-cannon 6-man battle royals).
First off, this means that the FLPW has been streaming on my Twitch channel for over a month now. The first stream was the previous August 8th tournament, and things since then have changed since then. Johnny Talladega has had a Canadian title reign start, stop, then start up again, Salty still has not lost a single match on stream since the first tournament (spoilers!), and Chris Furious continues to make as ass out of his title reign by still holding onto the damn thing while losing every single non-title match he's in.
Second off, what the hell was up with at least half of this tournament. Another poor showing by Maximillian Wolf, the previous world champions came up short, and the blatant cheating throughout the night was getting completely out of hand.
Beyond the cheating however, the most egregious thing about the tournament was the referee. There was (at the very least) three different instances of the ref not seeing a rope break. It first happened when Johnny Talladega held the rope during El Koog's pin, a second time when face Adam Roggeveen pinned Marcus Gravy despite the giant's hand on the ropes, but it would not be until the grand final match between Jacob Drummond and Salty Marceluus when it would happen again to seal the tournament win for Salty. JFC.
As usual, if a wrestler is able to eliminate the belt holder from their division in the tourney, they instantly get a title shot at the following stream. Newcomer Joshua Ferguson was able to eliminate the World's Bestest World Champion of the World title holder Chris Furious and will be facing him in the main event of the Monday 12th stream, and Jelrin the Operator will face Anthony "Milbro" Brown for the Hardcore Championship. Cool!
The highlight of the night was the blood feud that erupted between Jacob Drummond and Tyler "Straight Savage" T-Man. Just watch the highlight of the final match. It's 100% worth it. After the stream the two of them decided to upgrade settling their differences in a sigles match, to a doubles match for T-Man and Trevor Warren's titles. It's possibly the match I'm looking most forward to.
Anyways, stay tuned for more news as to what's going down at next Monday's stream!
