Tournament finals!
Toronto Ontario, Canada

The Sandman defeated the Missing Link (w/Danny Doring) after a DDT.
Doring was irrate that his hitman couldn't humiliate Sandman the way Sandman did to Doring. Doring started to verbally abuse Link after the match, but Link head butted him and left.

The Samoans (w/Humperdink) wrestled to a draw with SD Jones and Koko B. Ware (w/Albanoa).
Neither team had the amunition to put the other away before the 20-minute time limit expired. The only interesting thing about this bout was the interaction between the managers at ringside. In the end they got in the ring and started fighting before their men broke it up.

Bobby Heenan was interviewed by Bill Apter. Heenan had promised to debut a new tag team tonight, but he claimed the paperwork couldn't get done in time. The Armstrongs came out to confront him and tell him to man up to his challenge, but Heenan tried to back off. Suddenly, Ivan Koloff and Fritz Von Goering ran out and attacked the Armstrongs. Heenan said that he couldn't find a new team worthy of his managerial skills, but that didn't mean he didn't find a pair of paid hitmen to take care of the Armstrongs. As security broke up the brawl Heenan said The Armstrong's days are numbered and his men Bockwinkel and Stevens have bigger fish to fry, but Koloff and Fritz would gladly finish the Armstrong's off once and for all.

For the spot in the finals...
The Road Warriors beat The New Age Outlaws when Hawk pinned Road Dogg after the DOOMSDAY DEVICE.
Both teams fought with everything they had, but the LOD had a little bit more on this night. They avenged their only loss in the tournament by winning this one, but the NAO can still make the claim of going unbeaten in the tournament it's self.

The Sheik defeated Bobo Brazil.
Brazil dominated, but made one mistake and Sheik capitalized to gain the win.

The Valentines won by disqualification over Rikidozan and Giant Baba.
This was a brawl from bell to bell. Rikidozan would not give an inch and neither would Johnny Valentine. More wrestling was on display when Greg and Baba were in the ring, but the bad blood got to be too much to keep the match in the ring. It spilled outside where Rikidozan would not heed the referees warnings and drew the disqualification. The Japanese duo and The Valentines continued to brawl after the bell and fought all the way to the back yet again.

Jimmy Snuka, Mil Mascaras, and Tiger Mask defended the world six-man tag team championship with a win over Geto Mongol, Masked Superstar, and The Destroyer.
A classic bout that ended when Tiger Mask pinned Geto after a great moonsault press.

Tournament final!
The Road Warriros defeated Steve Williams and Ted DiBiase when Hawk pinned Williams.
The Road Warriors once again proved their dominance in the world of tag team wrestling by winning the tournament and becoming the ITLW world tag team champions.

You'll notice a four year gap between night 11 and everything I just posted today. I am going to do a seond International Tag League, but I forgot that I never posted the final nights of the last one here. They were all over on one of the unofficial boards. That's been rectified, so anyone who cares can see how the last one turned out before I announce the teams for ITL 2.

ITL2, NIGHT ONE
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Opening Bout
El Generico defeated Kevin Steen with the BRAINTBUSTAAAAAH!

Steen brutalized Generico for a good portion of the bout, but the generic luchadore was resiliant and bounced back. He hit a Spaceman moonsault to the floor, then followed up with his signature version of the brainbuster for the pin.

Block A matches

The Miracle Violence Connection of Steve Williams and Terry Gordy defeated The Colony via Gordy POWER BOMB on Fire Ant.

Williams started off strong on Solider, but the militant Ant made a comeback and The Colony gave the top seed in Block A some serious trouble. Fire Ant used a Beach Break on Williams, but the pin was broken up by Gordy. Gordy got the tag and shut the Colony down to stave off the upset.

The Briscoe Brothers and The Heavenly Bodies wrestled to a double countout, earning each team 1 point for the draw.

This was a great match, but it broke down at the end. All four men were fighting on the floor, Mark squaring off against Dr Tom and Jay brawling with Sweet Stan. None of them were paying attention to the referee's count and the result was a double countout.

Non tournament main event
Andre The Giant defeated Angelo Mosco with a bear hug.

Mosca attacked at the bell, but Andre fought him off. Mosca got tossed around for a little bit, but got in some more shots and managed to take the Giant off his feet once. However, Andre used a big head butt and followed up by locking in a powerful bear hug for the submission victory.

Block B matches

Bolo and Geto Mongol defeated The Double Axe Attack with the Mongolian Drop on Larry Hennig.

Cool Curt kept the bigger men off-balance with his speed and quick dropkicks, and Larry went toe-to-toe with them in the power department. IN the end Curt got dumped out of the ring and The Mogols put the double team to Larry to get the win.

The Road Warriors beat The Crusaders with the Doomsday Device.

[/center]The Crusaders were determined to get the upset, and one of the Crusaders went to work on Animal's leg every chance he could and eventually locked in the figure four. Hawk made the save, and the action continued. The Warriors kicked it into high gear eventually and used the Doomsday Device to get the decisive win.

ITL2, NIGHT TWO
Detroit, MI, USA

opening bout
Colt Cabana defeated Austin Aries via COLT .45

Colt tried a head scissors early, but Aries escaped and used a Huracanrana for the early advantage. The action went back and forth until Aries locked in Last Chancery. Colt got to the ropes for the break, but Aries immediately used the brainbuster for a near fall. Colt rallied back and used the Bionic Elbow to set up Colt 45 for the pin.

Block B matches

Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka beat The American Wolves when Snuka pinned Eddie Edwards after a flying head butt.

The American Wolves were essentially outmatched here. They got in some token offense, including a nice series by Davey ending with a vicious armlock on Brody, but for the most part Brody tossed them around and Snuka out brawled them en route to a solid 3 point victory.

John and Chris Tolos defeated Mr Fuji and Mr Saito when Chris pinned Fuji after a flying knee drop.

Siato got the early advantage on John, but the Tolos brothers brawled back into the match. After about ten minutes of hard hitting action Saito got dumped to the floor to end a 4-man brawl and John and Chris used the double team flying knee on Fuji for the win.

Block A matches

3 Live Kru got the mild upset over The Sheepherders when Konnan pinned Luke Williams.

The match was a roughly eight minute brawl with Konnan and Butch fighting violently out of the ring at one point and risking a double disqualification. BG James took control over Luke in the ring, then tagged out to Konnan who put the finishing touches on for the win.

RVD and Sabu beat Finlay and Dave Taylor when Sabu put the Camel Clutch on Finlay.

Finlay nearly got the win early with the Celtic Cross on Sabu, but Bill Alfonso made the timely distraction and the ref missed the pin. Sabu took a beating and finally tagged out to RVD. Taylor got a near pin with the British Suplex but in the end it was RVD with the Van Daminator on Finlay and Sabu with the follow-up Camel Clutch to take the win.

Non-tournament main event

The Sheik won by disqualification over Johnny Valentine in a quick but violent brawl.

Sheik attacked as Valentine was making his way to the ring and set off a brawl that finally made its way into the ring. Valentine rocked Sheik with a big chop to the chest, and Sheik bailed out of the ring. Valentine gave chase. Valentine rammed Sheik's head into a ringside table, Sheik pulled out the famous foreign object and jabbed at Valentine's skull, and both were a bloody mess before it was done. Valentine got control of the object and chased Sheik back into the ring with it. The ref warned him, but Johnny did not listen and used it to dig at Sheik's forehead to prompt the disqualification.

Great tourney are you using all of the sets in your fed ? I'm noticed you have Chikara wrestlers in there.

[marktaggart]

Thanks, Neil. I'm mixing it up with this one. The Colony cards I'm using are actually the black and white Legends of The Future: Trios versions. The Briscoe Brothers are the new special edition ROH cards. You'll notice some Chikara cards pop up in the non-tournament matches.

ITL2, NIGHT THREE
Minneapolis, MN

The Crusher won by countout over Ray Stevens.

Crusher and Stevens took the fight to the floor, where Stevens took a hard whip into the corner post. He was unable to make it back into the ring and Crusher won by countout.

Block A matches

The Briscoe Brothers defeated The Colony when Jay pinned Soldier Ant.

[/b]The Brisoce Brothers kicked it into high gear in this match, and the Ants never really got anything going. The Spiked Jay Driller set up the pin on Soldier Ant to end it in just under six minutes.

Miracle Violence Connection beat The Heavenly Bodies when Williams pinned Lane.

Timely interference from Cornette kept his men in the match. Pritchard used a foreign object to hammer Williams and nearly get the pin, but Williams kicked out strong at 2-and-a-half. Dr. Tom tagged out to Lane, who missed an elbow drop to set up a hard football tackle and the pin.

ITL 2, Night four
Tokyo, Japan

Block A matches

3 Live Kru defeated Finlay and Taylor when Konnan used Tequila Sunrise on Finlay.

Konnan and BG James were on a roll here, and Finlay and Taylor could not get it together as a team.

RVD and Sabu defeated The Sheepherders when Sabu used the Triple Jump Moonsault on Butch.

The Sheepherders jumped RVD and Sabu before the bell and things got heated quick. Bill Alfonso interjected a chair into the proceedings and RVD used it to deliver the Van Daminator on Butch. That softened him up for Sabu and the Triple Jump Moonsault.

non-tournament match

Don Leo Jonathan and Giant Baba wrestled to a double countout.

The giants traded heavy shots, with neither man able to come up with enough to keep the other down. The action went to the floor and both men were too concerned with fighting to pay attention to the referee.

Block B matches

American Wolves defeated Fuji and Saito when Davey Richards pinned Fuji.

The Wolves made up for a disappointing showing last time out with a great match against the former WWWF tag team champions. Some great teamwork set up the Davey BRAINBUSTER for the win.

Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka defeated The Tolos Brothers when Brody pinned Chris.

This was a match between two teams not afraid to brawl and break rules, which is exactly what they did. Brody got the pin after the running leg drop as Snuka ran interference to keep John from breaking the count.

Non-tournament main event

Antonio Inoki pinned Masked Superstar after the enzuigiri.

Inoki showed his "fighting spirit" by surviving the Cobra Hold and the Spinning Neckbreaker to come back and get the pin after his powerful back brain kick knocked Superstar out.
