Man, what an amazing Monday that was.
September 16th's stream left something to be desired. Sure, Salty Marcellus' streak was ended by Jacob Drummond, but that accomplishment was then minimized by the fact that Jacob lost in the incredibly mediocre triple threat main event against Joshua Ferguson and Trevor Warren. In fact the whole night was so mediocre that I didn't even write a wrap-up about it.
However, last Monday completely restored my faith that the FLPW can put out amazing matches with amazing endings, and we'll cover what happened as well as the future ramifications.
First match of the night was Sergei fighting Jelrin in a hardcore rankings match. Probably the most boring hardcore division match to date since the only weapon used in the whole match was a ladder. It seems that Sergei is in the race for the hardcore title now, so that's at least something I can maybe look forward to.
The second match was the debut of Velze Formadill, who teamed with Adam Roggeveen to form The Flying Dutchmen. This match was great, and Velze made a great showing with great technical defense and a nice repertoire of high-flying moves. They were up against The Hardcore Union, and it actually got to the point where Eddie Chumbo needed to cheat to pin Velze Formadill. With a 280 pound man using the ropes as pin leverage, I don't see a whole lot of people kicking out of that. It seems that Chumbo and Formadill are going to settle their differences in a singles bout Friday night, and I'm genuinely interested in seeing that match.
Geoffrey "TG" McCullough fought Ken Nakano. TG loses of course, but it was actually close in the first half of the match. Ken kicked out of a TG DDT, but then came back to pedigree for the win. Neat.
John Polak defeated Sammy Zaslanslamar and will go on to fight Johnny Talladega next Monday. John can't go after the belt immediately on Friday since he needs to face V-Nation (spoilers, they won their tag-team match!) for the Doubles Championship on Friday.
Since Johnny is not facing an opponent tomorrow, he's requested a non-title match in order to keep in it, and apparently the FLPW has arranged a special one-time guest to fight him. Nobody knows yet who it is.
After V-Nation won their tag-team match against The Executioners, probably the best match of the year happened. No surprise, it happened during a US title match between Maximilian Wolf and Thomas Warren. I can't think of two other people in the FLPW that consistently put out matches as good as Thomas Warren and Maximilian Wolf. The pair already took home a match of the night at August 15th's stream, and that was only for a rankings spot. This was for the bloody title. I'm pretty sure I've shared the video with the majority of the people who'd read this, but here's a link in case you have not seen it. It's so good.
The sequel to Joshua Ferguson versus Chris Furious was the main event, which Chris won pretty quickly. Joshua Ferguson put up a hell of a fight trying to reverse signatures and finisher, but it only took one Kicks of Fury to knock him out. Because Ferguson lost this match, he cannot have a title shot until Chris' current reign is over, and rumours are that he's going to peruse the Canadian title in the meantime.
That wraps up what happened last Monday. Stay tuned for the official fight card of Friday's stream later today!
