Sawtooth grin opened up the show to a chorus of boo's. A lot of heat as he bragged with the title. He talks about how everyone loves AM3 and his accomplishments here but no one ever talks about his. He mentions being one title win away from the grand slam and becoming the first ever successful Gods of War winner. Hewhocorrupts backs him up and announces his intentions for singles gold and challenges Roxi Johnson at chapter Once. AM3 came out to a monster reaction and announces a rematch at chapter Once in a Barbed Wire match!
Hammerstien *Lions Road* vs Corey *UKWF*
DING DING DING
TC: The following lucha is scheduled for one fall!
The lights dim, and lightning effects dart across the Hammerstein Ballroom as the opening riffs to Mastodon's 'Oblivion' echo through the venue.
TC: Making his way to the ring, from Duluth, Minnesota, weighing in at two hundred and ten pounds: Corey! Cruuuuelty!
Corey Cruelty emerges onto the entrance ramp, head bowed low and arms forming an X over his crotch. To say he’s receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd would be… accurate, but an understatement. Then, as the drums come in, he throws his arms out, 'opening' the X. He stalls in this position for a few seconds, then, as the drums kick back in and the tempo picks up again, he begins to make his way down to the ring.
Once in the ring, Corey takes to his corner, ignoring the sporadic boos from the Lions Road-savvy audience, staring down the ramp from which his opponent will emerge.
TC: And his opponent, from Whynot, Mississippi, weighing in at two hundred and fifty-four pounds: HAMMERSTEIN!
'The Rockafeller Skank' by Fatboy Slim begins, and the graphic "STRAIGHT OUTTA WHYNOT" flashes across the tron before slowing down. Smoke and fog begins billowing up from the stage as the Guerreros of Lucha fan-favorite Hammerstein barrels out, crashing onto the stage. The fans laugh as Hammerstein gets up, dusts himself off and smiles; there’s no denying that the Hammerstein Ballroom loves Hammerstein. He leans down to fist bump some fans and nearly falls off the ramp in the process. He rushes to the ring, baseball sliding under the bottom rope, and losing his shades in the process. He picks up his shades, wipes them off and puts them back on before trying to jump onto the second turnbuckle, but can't quite make it. Instead, he puts one foot up there and the other on the bottom before throwing both up to the cheers of the fans.
The disgust on Corey’s face as The Hammer works the crowd is palpable, his glare never wavering as it follows Jacob from one corner to the next. These two have history spanning from Lion’s Road, and it’s plain to see; even if they’d never met at all, to say this was a clash of styles would be the understatement of the century.
DING DING
The bell rings, and the two competitors are quick to spring to action – just not the same kind of action. Corey charges forward, headstrong and full of pent-up aggression, while Hammerstein was expecting something of a reprieve from the intense stare-down from before the bell. Corey is quick to trap him against the corner, laying in forearm after forearm, until the referee has to pry the two apart. As distance is created and Jacob catches his breath, he moves out from the corner… only to be forced back in again by another onslaught of stiff strikes by Cruelty, forearms, elbows and punches square in The Hammer’s prominent gut. Before the referee can begin a count, Corey moves to whip Jacob into the opposite corner, but he reverses the whip, holding onto Corey’s wrist and throwing him instead!
Corey hits the turnbuckle hard, but catches himself, turning on nimble feet—
—right into a Hammerstein Clothesline! Corey is floored, and Jacob goes for a quick cover.
ONE!
An incensed and insulted Corey is quick to shove Hammerstein off of him, springing back onto his feet and catching the larger, older man with a kick to the gut, followed by a forearm club to the back, sending Jacob to his knees. As every match in his young career, Corey refuses to be taken lightly, and it shows.
Corey wrenches back on Hammerstein’s shock of offensively blonde hair, glowering over him as he hisses to just make this easier on himself and lay down. When it’s clear by The Hammer’s resilience and the crowd’s reaction that this will not be the cast, Corey lets go… bounding off the ropes to catch Jacob by the throat with a Leg Lariat! With confidence, Corey makes a cover of his own.
ONE!
TW—Hammerstein kicks out!
Rather than give his opponent time to recover, Corey lays on more stomps and strikes to Jacob while he’s prone, dragging him to his feet and against the ropes, pressing his neck down against the top rope for an illegal choke. The referee is forced to pull Corey off once again, warning him sternly for his aggressive behavior while Hammerstein desperately pulls in air to his lungs. An indignant Corey shoulders past the ref, looking to Clothesline Hammerstein over the ropes—
—but Hammerstein thinks quickly, and ducks down to strike Corey back with a Hotshot! Corey doubles back, stunned from the reverberating ropes, and clutches at his throat, leaving him open for a surprisingly agile Dropkick from The Hammer!
The crowd roars with approval as Corey is knocked flat on his back against the ropes, Hammerstein picking himself up to hype his audience up some more. One thing is for sure: Hammerstein won’t make this an easy outing for Corey!
Corey, picking himself up with the help of the ropes, has staggered into the corner to get his bearings back… leaving him open for another Clothesline against the corner from Hammerstein, followed by several stomps working him back down against the turnbuckle! The Ballroom counts along to ten mudhole stomps, and Jacob dashes back to the opposite corner, sizing his young opponent up for his signature Cannonball Senton! The crowd rolls with a crescendo as The Hammer leaps for a somersault into the prone Cruelty—
—but he’s too slow, and no one’s home for the senton! Corey’s rolled out onto the apron as Hammerstein crashes against the turnbuckle hard, crumpling into a pile in the corner, taken by surprise! Corey is quick to roll back into the ring and catch a second wind, sizing up Jacob for his own strike, and as The Hammer picks himself up in the corner, he hits him with a vicious Running Knee strike against the turnbuckle!
The crowd audibly winces as Hammerstein’s face knocks against the second turnbuckle hard, his arms haplessly flailing against the ropes in hopes of catching himself. Corey refuses to relent now, dragging Hammerstein up by the hair and drilling him into the mat with an Inverted DDT! He covers, hooking the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
—NO! Hammerstein kicks out!
Hammerstien signals for the finish as the Hammerstein Ballroom roars up, but suddenly Sam Washington arrives to distract the fan favourite! Corey uses this to his advantage and nails his finisher for the w
Honey *Redemption* vs Matt Angel *KCW*
Really good back and forth match which saw Angel get the upper hand. Honey was the fan favourite here and the fans were on her side as she hit Angel with the Chica-Wing Lock to advance to the next round
Kenzie Rydall *FSociety* vs Kendall Conners *FAW*
Another good match that showcased both luchadoras. This was mainly dominated by Conners but Rydall would fight back. At one point it looked like Conners got the win but Rydall barely kicked out of two. From out of nowhere she hit the deadly Jackknife kick to advance to the next round.
Samantha Tolson *Honor* vs Chris Crippler *Skyfire*
When Tolson came out, Crippler attacked from behind and separated her shoulder right in the steel turnbuckle. Tolson insisted on carrying on but Crippler from the bell hit a perfect Crippler DDT to advance. Afterwards. Chris Crippler got the mic and declared himself the next Super Falcon Cup champion and vowed to do anything to win it.
James Edwards *Seattle Pro* vs Noah Reigner *So Cal*
Match never took place as just before the match began, Crippler came out and destroyed the pair of them with steel chair shots. Crippler hit the Crippler DDT on top of two chairs on Edwards before getting another chair in Noah's neck and slammed it down. This got real heat on Crippler. Medics came to the scene to check on both but both ruled out of the tournament.
Juliana Di Maria *West Coast Genesis* vs Coby Quik *DARC*
The story here was Quik got cocky and purposely delayed the start of the match. When he came in he tries to sarcastically waltz with Juliana who in turn countered it with the Di Maria Code to get the win. Quik was shocked as the fans all turned as soon as the 3 count was made.
Helena Noir *GOL* vs Maquino Negro *WWH*
Terri Castillo: The following lucha is set for one fall and is a first round match in the Super Falcon Cup. Introducing first...representing World Wrestling Headquarters...he weighs in at 203 pounds and is fighting out of Mexico City, Mexico….
LA MAQUINA NEGROOOO!
Lucha Libre by Dead Elvi plays as Negro walks down the ramp to the ring to a great reception, high-fiving the fans as he does. He enters the ring, does a little dancing, then salutes the fans before going to his corner to wait for his opponent.
EB: I’ve heard some good reviews of this guy from those who have seen him live. They say watching him online doesn’t do him justice.
S: We’ll get the chance shortly. I’m sure he’s out to make a statement, but will he do it against The Queen of Pain?
Terri Castillo: And his opponent…representing GUERREROS OF LUCHA…
*The crowd pops for the home team, starting a ‘GoL’ chant*
Terri Castillo: She weighs in at 130 pounds and is fighting out of Malmo, Sweden...this is The Queen of Pain….this is HELENAAAAA NOOOOIIIRRR!
"Noir" by Shandon starts playing softly in the Arena as the lights dim out. The tron is showing closeups of some of the tattoo covering Helena's body. The volume of the song starts growing louder as it approaches the chorus. As soon as it starts, the words "Never fear to suffer" pop up on the tron, while blinding lights pierce the darkness covering the entrance ramp. Helena walks out wearing a grey hoodie over her wrestling gear, pacing slowly to the ring keeping her head up, with the usual confident and almost challenging look on her face. The fans chant ‘QUEEN OF PAIN!’ as Noir climbs into the ring.
The crown begins to boo loudly as Carlos Diaz steps out onto the entrance ramp. Noir eyes him suspiciously while Negro runs the ropes.
The bell sounds and the two wrestlers circle each other. Just as they go to lock up, Diaz makes a throat cut gesture and the lights go out.
The crowd boos loudly.
EB: Well, we all know what that means.
S: Yeah, The boss is up to no good.
The lights come back up and Noir and Negro are both laid out on the mat, The Maniacz and Mr. Psycho standing over them. Diaz walks towards the ring, mic in hand
Carlos Diaz: As owner of GoL, I have to make decisions that are in the best interests of the company. Sometimes, these decisions are easy, sometimes the hard choices need to be made. (Diaz enters the ring.) Tonight, I had an easy decision. There was no way in hell that I was going to let a scrub like Helena Noir carry the GoL banner in this tournament. I mean this guy here (points at Negro) isn't great, but I know that EVEN HE would mop the floor with poor Helena.
So I made an executive decision, like President Trump, I signed an executive order. That order was to remove Helena Noir from the Super Falcon Cup!
The crowd boos loudly.
S: But he can't do that!
EB (chuckling): I kinda think he's doin that right now. Now hush while the boss is talking.
Carlos Diaz: Now the next decision was a real no brainer. Who do I replace Helena with? I obviously wanted to put in our best option for victory. So I chose HIM, (points to the giant clown.) MR. PSYCHO!
Helena gets to her knees and lunges at Diaz, but he jumps out of the way. Two of the clowns grab her by the arms. Diaz turns to Mr. Psycho and tells him to take her out. Psycho grabs Noir and shoves her head between his knees. He picks her up and powerbombs her to the mat, but doesn't release her. He picks her back up and gives her a second, then a third powerbomb, before picking her up a final time and hitting a devastating turnbuckle bomb. Noir crumples to the mat, motionless, as the referee calls for help. La Maquina Negro begins to stir and The Maniacz swarm him, throwing him through the ropes and into the barricade. Trainers and GoL officials are checking on Negro as EMT’s attend to the unconscious Helena Noir. Diaz walks over to her and smiles as the EMT’s fit her for a neck collar, then carefully put her on a backboard, and finally a gurney. He then walks over to the ropes, looks down on Negro, who is in obvious pain, and shakes his head. Diaz chuckles then lifts the mic to his mouth.
Carlos Diaz: Now, there's another decision to make. It looks like Mr. Negro won't be able to compete tonight. What a shame. So, Mr. Psycho is going to need an opponent. Now this choice I'm going to leave up to the guys and gals in the back. Who wants in the Super Falcon Cup? Before you answer, remember what your opponent just did to Helena. Anyone? Anyone?
S: Who's going to answer the call?
EB: I hope they know a good orthopedic surgeon because….
The Rockafeller Skank" by Fatboy Slim begins and almost strobelike, the graphic "STRAIGHT OUTTA WHYNOT" flashes across the tron before slowing down. Hammerstein steps out onto the stage, still the worse for wear after his match, but walking with purpose.
EB: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! FUCK NO! ANYBODY BUT HIM, DAMMIT! ANYBODY BUT HIM!
S: WILL YOU CALM DOWN!
EB: NO! NO, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! THIS DOOFUS IS GOING TO EMBARRASS GoL JUST LIKE HE EMBARRASSED LION’S ROAD! HEY! WAITASECOND! THE CLOWN’S GONNA KILL HIM! HEY, GOOD CHOICE, MAN! YOU GO IN THERE AND FIGHT, HAMMER!
S: Really?
EB: Hey, maybe my sister, Holly, can have her wedding gown dyed black so it can double as a funeral gown.
S: You really are a sick bastard, you know that?
EB: Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.
Carlos Diaz: Hammerstein? You? You want to face Mr. Psycho? You just lost the match you were just in. I've never heard of anyone wanting to pad their loss column, but, if that's what you want. I just hope your pretty little bride, Holly isn't watching. Oh, and just to be sure that this match is fair, the Maniacz and I will stay here at ringside. Now ring the bell!
The Maniacz and Diaz surround the ring as Mr. Psycho stands in the center. Hammerstein circles him, then lunges in trying to lock up with him. Psycho clubs him across the back of the head with a forearm that sends the fan favorite to his knees.
EB: WOOHOO! Mr. Psycho’s gonna destroy this dumbass. I LOVE IT!
Mr. Psycho pulls Hammerstein up, then drives him back down with another clubbing forearm. Psycho pulls Hammerstein up again, but the fan favorite pushes him back to gain distance, then lands a series of lefts and rights that barely faze the giant clown. Hammerstein grabs the clown by the ears and hits a hard headbutt. Mr. Psycho stands straight up and stares at Hammerstein, who staggers backwards.
EB: HAHAHAAAA! I LOVE IT! Hammerstein nearly knocked himself out, and Mr. Psycho’s gonna finish the job!
WHAT THE HELL?!
Eli’s aghast as he sees Hammerstein launch a dropkick that makes the clown take a half step back. Another dropkick sends the clown back another step. Hard knife edge chops back Psycho up. Hammerstein hits the ropes and flies off with a Tomahawk chop. Mr. Psycho is rocked. He backs into the ropes and staggers towards Hammerstein, who grabs him to pick him up for a bodyslam.
S: Hammerstein’s gonna bodyslam the giant!
EB: NO WAY! NO FUCKING WAY!
Hammerstein grunts and strains, and gets one of Mr. Psycho’s feet off the ground, but The Maniacz climb up onto the apron. Hammerstein let's go off Psycho and turns to charge the clowns, but Psycho clotheslines him in the back of the head.
The crowd boos the clowns loudly, but begins to cheer as The Everyday Heroes hit the ringside area. Diaz heads for higher ground as The Heroes pair off with The Maniacz and the fight is on. Mr. Psycho goes to pick Hammerstein up, then decides to leave the ring to help his companions, who have fought their way up the ramp. The referee looks down at Hammerstein, who hasn't moved, then at Mr. Psycho, who is walking towards the fight, and begins to count both men out.
1…

3…
EB: GET BACK TO THE RING, MR. PSYCHO! HAMMERSTEIN'S OUT! GO PIN HIS DUMB ASS!
4…
5…
S: Hammerstein’s beginning to stir!
EB: NO! STAY DOWN, DAMMIT! MR. DIAZ,! MANIACZ! PLEASE GET MR. PSYCHO IN THE RING!
6…
7…
Hammerstein is on his knees, trying to use the top rope to pull himself up. Mr. Psycho turns and runs towards the ring.
8…
9…
Hammerstein pulls himself to his feet. Psycho is almost to the ring, but not close enough as the ref counts…
10!
EB: NO! DAMMIT TO HELL! NOOOOOO!
S: DO YOU BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES, ELI? ELI?
EB: Please just leave me alone, ok?
Hammerstein is staggering around, holding onto the ropes when the referee raises his hand. Hammerstein looks at the ref as if to ask him if he's joking. The referee reassures him that he did, in fact win the match, and this causes the affable wrestler to jump for joy. The video feed switches to the commentary desk where Sabrina has a big smile on her face, while Eli sits, his head in his hands. He’s unaware that his brother in law has exited the ring and has run over to the announce position.
S: Uh, Eli?
EB (his head still in his hands): WHAT?!
S: You have a guest.
Eli pulls his head from his hands and looks to his left, where he finds himself face to face with Hammerstein.
Hammerstein: HEY BROTHER!
Hammerstein grabs his brother in law and gives him a big hug, holding Eli’s face to his sweat drenched t-shirt. After a kiss on the top of Eli’s head, Hammerstein releases him and goes to ringside fans to celebrate. Eli looks at Sabrina and it's difficult to tell if he's about to scream, cry, or throw up.
MAIN EVENT
Jack Tillman *EWC* vs Amy-Jo Smyth *LAW*
Excellent match and a perfect way to finish off the event. Very technical with lots of near falls. Both looked great in this match. Both kicked out of their finishers before Tillman hit a massive top suplex with both their shoulders down for the three count. Two referees argued over who won. Dragon came down and looked at replays and declared that both would advance to the next round!
At the end Jack Tillman, Hammerstien, Amy-Jo Smyth, Chris Crippler, Julianna Di-Maria, Kenzie Rydall, Corey and Honey all stare each other down as they become the quarter finalists of the 2017 Super Falcon Cup
