FIRST ROUND TOURNAMENT RESULTS

LARRY ZBYSZKO defeated DELIRIOUS
"Two men who have had great success in the HEARTLAND area, both former champions, looking to add another championship to thier collection. Zbyszko began the match grabbing the microphone and stated that his opening match has to be a joke, a "rib" from the boys in the back...he looks at Delirious and laughs..."The guy first off wears a mask, an ugly one at that, not to mention he can barely speak english, he is a blabbering idiot!!!"

With that Larry Legend was cut off by a stiff right hand by his opponent ...followed by the BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...then without warning Zbyszko gets hit with the panic attack quickly followed up by a Praying Mantis Bomb!
Delirious nearly had the victory but Larry Legend just kicked out and sucked his masked opponent into the corner and caught him flush with a knee smash, the former OLD SCHOOL Tag Team Champion then went to work removing the turnbuckle pad and slamming Delirious head first into the exposed steel not once but twice!
Which was followed by the Larry Land sleeper...Delirious fought out of the hold and got Zbyszko in a submission hold of his own the Cobra stretch...Larry was able to get to the ropes to break the hold and catch his masked opponent with a vicious spinning heel kick which led to a picture perfect piledriver to get the hard fought victory and advance in the tournament!
*AFTER THE MATCH, LARRY STOOD OVER HIS OPPONENT AND MOCKED HIM WITH THE BLAH BLAH BLAH...ZBYSZKO THEN FLIPPED HIM AND THE CROWD OFF!

JACK SWAGGER defeated CHRIS CANDIDO w/ TAMMY LYNN STYCH
*BEFORE THE MATCH BEGAN, CANDIDO GRABBED THE MICROPHONE AND STATED, WHEN YOU TALK AN ALL AMERICAN-AMERICAN DONT LOOK AT THIS GOOF WITH A LISP IN THE RING (POINTING AT SWAGGER) YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.....
WITH THAT.....

TAMMY STYCH COMES DOWN TO THE RING, SHOWING SOME OF HER ASSETS TO THE DELIGHT OF THE MALE PORTION OF THE CROWD AND WHO KNOWS MAYBE SOME FEMALES TO....
"The bell rings to start the match, and Swagger is furious, he starts off like a house on fire hitting Candido with an array of suplexes; including a vicious blue thunder bomb which nearly gave him the win.
Give Candido a ton of credit for surviving that early onslaught. It came to the point in the match Candido had several chances much like Swagger to put each other away but could not seem to put the final nail in the coffin
Frustration was setting in for both athletes as we were nearing 20 minutes of tremendous wrestling but no victor...Candido finally was able to hit his BLONDE BOMB finisher but Swagger just barely kicked out before the 3 count came down....Tammy who was realitivly quite outside up until that point stormed up on the apron and began arguing with the official!
Candido seeing the opening went for a steel chair...Swagger stopped him and delivered a violent shot with the chair to Candido's head busting him open and knocking him out cold
Swagger then threw the chair out of the ring blew a kiss to Tammy who was not pleased by it...then delivered another Blue Thunder Bomb right in the center of the ring for the three count!"
*AFTER THE MATCH, CANDIDO NEEDED HELP BACK TO THE LOCKER ROOM AS HE WAS GETTING CHECKED OUT BY THE MEDICAL STAFF*

RODERICK STRONG defeated "BULLET" BOB ARMSTRONG
"Tremendous pure wrestling contest to start off with between these two evenly matched athletes. Back and fourth  it went a great game of human chess, Armstrong seemed to have gotten the best of the bout about 10 minutes in, when he caught Strong with a thunderous knee lift...but Strong muscled out of the pin before the 3 count was given.
Armstrong stayed on the attack for another good 5 to 7 minutes, just wearing down the ROH star and after hitting a third knee lift in the match, it looked as though Roddy was out cold...Armstrong sensing victory was at hand went for the quick cover.
It looked to many in the building that the referee did in fact counted three...to the point were the fans along with Armstrong began to celebrate BUT the official said and motioned it was only a two count!!!!!
Armstrong was in shock along with many and he politely question the official to make sure it was the correct call...Strong in the meantime recovered and at first thought he lost the match..but realized it was still going on..Strong seeing the opening spun Armstrong around and hit him square in the jaw with a YAKUZA kick..knocking him out cold..there was no doubt about this 3 count as Roderick Strong advances!"

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS and CURT HENNING BATTLE TO A 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW
"What a way to end the 1st round of the tournament with this dream match between two of the most successful wrestlers ever to step foot in HEARTLAND and the Mid West..what an absolute gem of a contest.
Both men shook hands to begin the match in a great show of respect, there was quite the feeling out process to begin the match as neither man could get a real good offensive advantage.
That is until Henning hit his running knee lift followed up quickly with his rolling neck snap...which led to a sleeper hold. As Henning was looking for the submission victory, Daniels was able to push off the turnbuckle and break the hold and deliver a few vicious chops to the chest knocking his opponent to the mat, giving him a little bit of space to re group.
It did not take the Fallen Angel long to start moving in for the kill, as he delivered his last rites for a near fall. Henning went to the out side to escape the onslaught..were his dad LARRY HENNING was sitting at ringside shouting encouragement..Daniels came out and told the elder Henning to shut his mouth and proceeded to ram Curt's head right into the steel post, opening up a huge gash on the forehead!
Blood poured down the face of Curt with the AX looking on,,,Daniels continued his attack with more and more confidence, knowing that Henning was in a world of hurt...last rites after last rites..3 to be exact but Henning despite the obvious would NOT stay down...Larry Henning looked as though he was going to hop the rail and storm into the ring to help his son as Daniels continued with the punishment and taunting..but as security came over to make sure nothing was going to happen he stayed cool
Meanwhile despite having his way in this match, You can see frustration begin to build for Daniels as he just could not put the bloody and battered Henning away.
Daniels feeling the pressure, went for broke with a missile dropkick off the top rope..BUT...missed as Henning moved out of the way!...Henning stumbling around  for a moment..grabbed Daniels and threw him violently over the top rope and to the concrete floor...Daniels quickly got to his feet right in frong of Larry...Daniels turned and shoved the AX out of his seat!...seeing this Curt dove over the top rope with a cross body block onto Daniels hitting the concrete floor!
Curt then proceeded to deliver stiff right hands to the face of Daniels...then tossing him back in the ring ..and with one forearm hammer shot to the face Daniels was out cold!...BUT was able to just kick out before the three count to the amazement of the crowd. Henning with blood still streaming down his face went for The Axe but Daniels moved out of the way and hit Henning with his BLUE THUNDER BOMB for yet another near fall!
Daniels despite being in shock that Curt kicked out yet again, went right in with his Koji Clutch..and for several minutes had the hold applied but Henning would not tap out....the crowd was cheering like crazy in anticipation when suddenly the bell rang, signifying the time limit had expired!
Daniels perhaps not hearing the bell do to the ruckus crowd did not release the hold despite the referee screaming for him to do so...this led to Larry Henning seeing enough, he jumped the railing and stormed the ring and began smashing Daniels with vicious forearms!
The referee tried stopping the Ax as well, but could not as Larry shoved the official out of the ring and continued his attack!
UNTIL.....

AJ STYLES
stormed from the back into the ring...he pulled Larry Henning off of Daniels leading to a stare down between the two. after a few tense moments cooler heads prevailed and they both helped there respected athletes to the back.


SECOND ROUND TOURNAMENT RESULTS
LARRY ZBYSZKO defeated JACK SWAGGER
"Both men went right after each other, knowing full well what was at stake; a trip to the finals, just one step closer to a championship. With that in mind Swagger really controled the offensive flow of the contest, once again using his amatuer back ground to ground and pound Larry into the mat.
Larry to his credit and his toughness refused to stay down and thanks to his martial arts back ground fought back in a big way..with kicks and karate thrusts

In saying that no one could but the other away and the war raged on, when Swagger went for a huge splash in the corner but missed as Larry moved out of the way! Swagger actually sailed over the turnbuckle slamming his head flush against the ring post!
Zbyszko being the cagey vetrean he is quickly capitalized and hit the All American, American with a picture perfect pile driver for the victory and a trip to the championship final match!
*Enraged after his loss Swagger attacked Zbyszko from behind and applied his ankle lock..and despite the order from the referee, and the screams of pain coming from Larry Legend he would not release the hold...security stormed the ring but could not pry Swagger off of his opponent..when Chris Candido came storming to the ring, head bandaged and a steel chair in hand!
Candido smashed Swagger in the skull...and told Jack "an eye for an eye b*tch!"...Candido slammed the dented chair down on the mat and left the ring..A bloody Swagger was out cold..and needed help back to the locker room to get examined
Meanwhile officials were also attending in the ring to Zbyszko who was grabbing his ankle screaming in pain.

Roderick Strong then came down to the ring, and asked one of the officials if there was going to be a Finals match considering the condition Larry is in....hearing Strong; Larry struggled back to his feet..hopped over to Strong...who told Larry we do not have to have the match now get checked out by the doctors make sure you are cleared to be in the ring!
Zbyszko hearing that..smirked then spit right in the face of Strong, and demanded that the referee ring the bell to start the match!

RANDOM 8 CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT FINAL
RODERICK STRONG defeated LARRY ZBYSZKO
"Ater the spit in the face, a rage seemed to come over Roderick who attacked the leg of Larry that was  already seriously injured and did not led up.
Larry Legend stood in as long as he could showing again the true heart and pure toughness of a champion..but in the end it was Roderick Strong thanks to a power bomb back breaker that gives him the victory and the championship!
*AFTER THE MATCH...STRONG KICKS THE DOWNED ZBYSZKO OUT OF HIS RING..WHEN SUDDENLY; FROM HEARTLAND FAME...ROBBIE ICE COMES DOWN TO THE RING AND PRESENTS THE NEW CHAMPION HIS TITLE....</sup>

FIRST ROUND RESULTS

THE KILLER BEE'S defeated THE STEINERS
"In what many to believe a big upset, as the hometown Steiners were considered the heavy favorites going into this tournament will not even get out of the first round.
Blair and Brunzell were just a little more quicker then the brothers from Michigan and that is what it really came down to it in the end, Scott Stiener went for a splash in the corner but Brunzell moved out of the way as Scotty smashed his head on the ring post and as Blair was taking a beating outside of the ring by Rick...Brunzell rolled up Scott in the middle of the ring for the three count!

*AFTER THE MATCH, SCOTT WAS FURIOUS, HE TOLD THE OFFICIAL THAT BRUNZELL HAD A HAND FULL OF TIGHTS!...BRUNZELL AND BLAIR WERE IN SHOCK THAT THEY WOULD BE ACCUSED OF SUCH AND ACT.
THETWO TEAMS ARGUED FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES IN THE RING..SECURITY CAME DOWN TO SEPARATE THE FOUR BEFORE IT GOT ANY WORSE*

AJ STYLES/CHRISTOPHER DANIELS and CURT/LARRY HENNING battled to a double DQ
"Because of what transpired at the RANDOM 8 TOURNAMENT between these four men not a big surprise of this out come...it actually is a real shame because despite the outcome they all put on a tremendous tag match, but in the end the pure emotion got the best of them all and a wild brawl erupted and the official had no choice but to call for the bell for the double disqualification!"

*THAT HOWEVER DID NOT STOP THE CHAOS AS THE BRAWL CONTINUED OUTSIDE THE BUILDING!..SECURITY HAD THERE HANDS FULL BUT EVENTUALLY GOT THE TWO TEAMS APART*

MIKE QUACKENBUSH/DELIRIOUS defeated OX BAKER/LARRY ZBYSZKO
    "The crowd gave Larry a nice round of applause, knowing he was coming into this match still deaking with his injury suffered at the hands of Jack Swagger during the RANDOM 8 TOURNAMENT
Ox really tried to take up most of the match, knowing that his partner was not 100%..and he took the blunt of a ton of punishment as the team of Quak and Delirious were very good...as the match moved forward Larry did get in the ring and did give some offensive spark but thanks to a Quackendriver II the heroic run came to a end."

*AFTER THE MATCH, LARRY WAS VERY UPSET WITH HIM SELF KNOWING THAT HE COST HIS TEAM THE CHANCE AT CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD, BAKER TRIED TO COME HIM DOWN...BUT LARRY JUST COULD NOT STOP HIS EMOTIONS GETTING THE BEST OF HIM...BAKER AGAIN TRIED TO HELP HIS LONG TIME HEARTLAND TAG TEAM PARTNER TO CALM DOWN...ZBYSZKO JUST LIMPED AWAY BACK TO THE DRESSING ROOM ON HIS OWN*

THE YOUNG BUCKS defeated PHIL SHATTER/ERICK STEVENS
"The make shift team that competed in HEARTLAND for a time, tried again to make one more go at it, but to no avail as the Bucks were just to much and eventually put there opponents with MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, to get the three count on Shatter.

*AFTER THE MATCH, ERICK STEVENS WENT CRAZY, AS HE ATTACKED SHATTER, FIRST GIVING HIM A DDT! RIGHT ON A STEEL CHAIR AND DELIVERING HIS DOCTOR BOMB RIGHT THREW A TABLE..THEN ANOTHER; SLAMMING SHATTER'S HEAD RIGHT ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR!*

SECOND ROUND RESULTS

THE YOUNG BUCKS defeated MIKE QUACKENBUSH/DELIRIOUS
"What a match up this was, back and fourth tremendous tag team action, both teams with several near falls, and give Quack a ton of credit in this match as he was able to kick out of the MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK finisher once, but not twice as he could not recover..both teams shook hands and the end of the match in a great show of respect.

FINALS OF THE NIGHT OF THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

THE KILLER BEE'S defeated THE YOUNG BUCKS
"A instant tag team classic turned in by these two tag team specialists, these athlete's went for nearly 30 minutes in what is being called the best match period in this promotions very young history...it was the bee's that finally prevailed thanks to Blair first kicking out of MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK which everyone was in complete shock over..then Brunzell out of nowhere connected with a missile dropkick from the top rope onto Nick Jackson for the pin fall and victory!

*AFTER THE MATCH AS THE KILLER BEE'S WERE CELEBRATING...THE ONE AND ONLY ROBBIE ICE CAME DOWN TO THE RING..AND GAVE CONGRATS TO BLAIR AND BRUNZELL FOR A TREMENDOUS TOURNAMENT WIN..HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE HAS BEEN IN TALKS WITH HEARTLAND OFFICIALS...AND BECAUSE THE BEE'S WON THIS TOURNAMENT THEY ARE NOW THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDERS FOR THE H.O.T TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!

THE KILLER BEE'S WILL BE HEADING BACK TO HEARTLAND TO HAVE THAT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AS OF RIGHT NOW SCHEDULED TO BE AGAINST THE CURRENT CHAMPIONS THE DUDLEY BOYS!

ROBBIE ICE THEN LEFT THE RING AND AS HE WAS LEAVING THE STEINER BROTHERS CAME BACK DOWN TO RINGSIDE AND A WILD BRAWL ERUPTED ONCE AGAIN BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS TO END THE SHOW!
