Aftermath of the 6-Man Tag Match Last Saturday

It would be an understatement to say that Jordan Wassink was pissed off about the result of last Monday's three on three tag team match.

T.G. McCullough, Anthony "Milbro" Brown, and Jordan Wassink lost to the team of Velze Formadill, Adam Roggeveen, and Dominic Pelletier. Wassink wasn't tagged in once during the match, and he fully blames both members of Team True North for him losing precious ladder positions leading up to Return to Form.

The thee on three tag match doubled as both a Doubles division rankings match as well as a Canadian division rankings match, so both Wassink and Milbro lost positions in the rankings to Roggeveen and Pelletier. Jordan, a previous two-time Canadian champion, was gunning to get out of the lower half of the Canadian division. Wassink is planning on taking things into his own hands.

A match has been made for this Friday between Brown and Wassink upon Brown's acceptance of Wassink's challenge. By the sounds of it, it's going to be a bloody match.

Meanwhile, Dominic Pelletier's pin for the win in that match is another talking point on his recent rise to stardom. Widely considered one of the most underrated wrestlers on the roster, Pelletier had a very deep run in last year's 3rd FLPW Single Elimination Tournament, which contained huge upset victories against the likes of favourite Joshua Ferguson and current World's Bestest Champion of the World Adam Pubert. Key match victories since then have propelled him to the top of the Canadian rankings.

Pelletier has been without a title during his tenure in the FLPW, and people are looking forward to Friday 16th's main event where Pelletier takes on Roger Olson for Roger's title rematch contract. Also thanks to Pelletier, The Flying Dutchmen are moving on to fight Bulletproof P.M.C. this Friday for a spot in the Doubles division number one contender's match on the 16th. Will Pelletier defeat previous champion Roger Olson and move on to gain a title match against Talladega at Return to Form?

February 4th Wrap-Up

The first FLPW stream of 2018 happened last night, and everything felt like the 3rd FLPW Elimination Tournament only just happened a week ago. Time files, huh?

The biggest news of course is Adam Pubert pinning Laine Whitaker for Chris' World title in last night's triple threat main event. A big question going into the rebirth of FLPW in 2018 is if it was going to be dominated once again by Chris Furious.

Chris held on the the World championship all throughout the beginning of FLPW on Twitch in 2016 before losing it in the lead up to that year's WinterWar special. After Chris won the belt back at WinterWar, he's held it undefeated since.

With Adam Pubert set to defend his newly gained World title at Return to Form's main event, it's there we'll finally see if Chris' stranglehold as the company's top guy continues in 2018.

Johnny Talladega came out on top in his match against Roger Olson, beginning his 4th Canadian championship title reign. Everyone could tell that Olson was struggling to keep on top of Talledega, and despite heroic efforts to keep himself in the game, Olson could not get in enough offense to keep Talladega down.

Under normal circumstances, Olson would be going to Return to Form at the end of the month to try and win his title back. However, Dominic Pelletier gained massive momentum in the Canadian division after an excellent showing at the 3rd FLPW Single Elimination Tournament last year, on top of his big win in the 3v3 tag match last night. If it wasn't for the fact that Johnny Talladega eliminated him from the tournament in the semifinals, Pelletier would have just as much a claim a title match as Talladega would've had.

A number one contenders match has been made for the 16th between Pelletier and Olson to see who will go on to fight Talladega at Return to Form on the 24th.

One of the biggest unanswered questions being asked is who will challenge Saxxymus for his American title. Saxxymus has a complete lock down of the US division, not only defending the title numerous times against the likes of Tyler T-Man, Thomas Warren, and T the MC, but Saxxymus also ended up winning the 3rd FLPW Single Elimination Tournament. Thanks to poor performances from the rest of the American division during the tournament, nobody is close to being crowned a number one contender.

In the search for who's going to fight Saxxymus at Return to Form, look forward to next Friday when two different fatal 4-way matches completely shake the American rankings.

Also stay tuned to find out which two tag teams will fight for the Doubles division number one contenders match against The Beast Crew.

Let's Get Back Up To Speed

  Now that we've got the admin and scheduling details out of the way, let's catch everyone up to speed on what's going on the in FLPW.

  The last event held was the 3rd Single Elimination Tournament last August celebrating the one-year anniversary of FLPW on Twitch, which was won by current National US Champion of America Saxxymus. Although his position as US champion is secure, current Canadian title holder Roger Olson and current World title holder Chris Furious are in real danger of losing their titles.

  Roger Olson got eliminated round one by Johnny Talladega. Talladega would go on to win every match thereafter until reaching the grand finals against Saxxymus. A title match has been set for February 3rd between Talladega and Olson, and depending on the outcome of that match we may see this rivalry carry us into Return to Form at the end of February. There are also other wrestlers in the Canadian division to watch out for as well. Dominic Pelletier picked up shocking underdog victories against the likes of Joshua Ferguson and Adam Pubert to get him to a semi-final match against Talladega in the tournament, skyrocketing him up the Canadian division ladder rankings. Don't be surprised if somewhere down the line this month Pelletier gets a shot at the Canadian title.

  Current World's Bestest Champion of the World Chris Furious was eliminated in the sound round of the tournament by Executioner member Adam Pubert. Chirs' history in FLPW tournaments is extremly shaky. One of the biggest underdog stories was Laine Whitaker, who defeated both Eddie Chumbo and Marcus Gravy before having an extremely close match against Saxxymus. Both have more than enough leverage over Chris Furious for a title shot, so a triple threat title match has been made for February 3rd where Chris will be defending his World title against Pubert and Whitaker.

  There currently is no number one contender for the Doubles division title, currently held by V-Nation members El Koogs and Tom Mann, so it's full steam ahead for Doubles division rankings matches to see who they will defend their title against at Return to Form.

A full complete fight card will be posted cloer to February 3rd, but look forward to two extremely hype title matches, some good rankings match action, and a new addition to the FLPW roster debuting.

It’s 2018. Where are we going from here?

It's a new year, and once again I've found myself not keeping up with FLPW streams. I really want to do them, but they are a lot of effort for what seems like very little payoff. However, I'm going to try to not let that discourage me too much.

Fictional Live Pro Wrestling will resume streams over at my twitch channel starting February 3rd. Streams will be once a week starting at 7pmEST, and will go until all the scheduled matches are completed.

Previous FLPW streams have been seven-match long affairs the generally end up being two-and-a-half hours. In order to prevent myself from being burned out by keeping up with lengthy regular streams, FLPW will be focusing on shorter streams with less matches, but will attempt to make up for it with broadcasting matches that are easier to be invested in.

The last Saturday of each month will be a “special” that are longer streams, exactly like how Show of the Masters and Winter War were in 2016. Generally, almost every title will defended during these streams. The first of these specials, Return to Form is scheduled for February 24th. Also planned is the 4th Full-Roster Double Elimination Tournament, but I have a feeling it won’t be for some time.

Here's hoping for a more consistent direction for the FLPW!
