MAIN EVENT TIME BABAAYYY

:banderas

 

[Warlock]

Mascara de la Muerte is double booked... intended?

Edit... so is ravi and islami... i guess nevermind

 

[Jaxx]

Expected to stay in the ring straight after enduring a Hell in a Cell match to then face Dreamer, obvious racism is obvious.

Yes.

 

[Firass]

No tag team match for the bent family? :/

A real man could handle it.

 

[Jaxx]

Which is why Islami will handle it and whoop your ass ac

 

[Leon Knuckles]

I got diamonds on my blocka.

 

[LFC_Styles]

Nice, stacked card and everyone gets a title shot. Night of Champs v2.

 

[FunkeehDK]

No tag team match for the bent family? :/

Agree. We're done with this hardcore division

 

[Daiko]

Agree. We're done with this hardcore division

No you're not. Jobbers fight for the jobbers title.

(You're nowhere near ready for a Tag Title shot and even if you were, you wouldn't be getting it on this PPV.)

 

[Firass]

No you're not. Jobbers fight for the jobbers title.

(You're nowhere near ready for a Tag Title shot and even if you were, you wouldn't be getting it on this PPV.)

I know that we're not ready for a title shot, but atleast put us in something somewhat tag team related, instead of singles stuff!

Edit: And just for the record we're at 64 and 67 in overness, so a few more matches and we're at +70, which is, afaik, regarded as main eventers! So just watch it!

 

[Warlock]

I will say that the biggest issue I had with the hardcore division were all those multiman matches. Where if you didn't beat 5+ other guys in the same match, you lost overness. Hard to climb the ladder that way.

Part of the reason why I started challenging people to singles matches instead of being thrown into those multiman matches during that stretch.

Little Jiminy Cricket's Picks:

Antonio "GOAT, King of Swing, Swiss Superman, GOAT" Cesaro
Bray Wyatt
Paige
Wade Barrett
Daniel Bryan
Rusev
Randy Orton
Batista

Roman Reigns
John Cena


Little Jiminy Cricket's Promo:

"Quite a diverse match for the US championship. The championship that represents America. The championship that is the Red, White, and Blue. The championship that bleeds stars and stripes. The championship that has no business being in the hands of some Indian! Some Mexican! Or some Italian! This might e the land of the free and the home of the brave, but tomorrow bravery and freedom will do you three no good.

Cricket is here to bring back the legitimacy of a US title! Only a Real American should rightfully hold the US championship title. This sunday at PWA Proving Grounds a Real American will take the title back to the land where my fathers died, the land of the Pilgrim's pride. Let the Crickets chirp from the mighty mountains of New York, let the Crickets chirp from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let the Crickets chirp from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado, let the crickets chirp from the curvaceous slopes of California! From Memphis Tennessee, let the crickets Chirp allowed 'We have Little Jiminy Cricket at last...as your United States Champion!'"

As the cameras go into the interview area backstage, we see no interviewer and instead see Dustin Dreamer standing there wearing red, white and blue facepaint as the camera comes in close to him. We can also see a 2 x 4 plank and an american flag on either side of him.

I know exactly how you feel about me Muhammed Islami brother, you think I'm some racist but that's not true jack I've fought all over the world dude! Tonight it's a battle of the countries and since I fight for what's right I will lead the USA to victory brother!

Dreamer walks out of camera view now carrying a 2 x 4 plank in one hand and an american flag in the other as he heads towards the ring for the main event of the evening.
