The match with Hatfield made him see that he was headed down the same path. He wanted to change that in the new year. He asked Hatfield to be his mentor, offering his hand to Hatfield.

Aftershock Recap
by Justin Plummer

Hello fans, welcome to the first edition of The Aftershock Recap for Year 8.  Let's get right to as Steelkara started the year off with a bang!


We saw Akuma continue his winning ways and enter the Top 5.  He can now make his way to a title shot. The man he defeated, Icarus, must now start from the beginning.  


3.0 and The Bravados defeated three other teams* a piece to battle each other to earn a Tag Team Challenge Match.  Thanks to poor timing by Chuck Taylor, 3.0 have earned the challenge match.  Taylor went for a super kick on Matthews, but instead hit Lancelot Bravado.  The two had a small skirmish before being separated.  


One team that could be a target for 3.0 is Da Soul Touchaz.  Even though they got the win over 2 Dark Souls, Acid Jaz did not agree with the way they won.  


Colt Cabana, ACH, El Generico and The Shard each had one win.  They collided to the second win and earn a Singles Challenge Match.  When the smoke settled, Cabana won his second match in a row and has earned the challenge match.


Dasher Hatfield returned to singles against Kobald and scored a impressive win.  Afterwards Mr Touchdown asked Hatfield to become a mentor to him.  There was no direct answer from Hatfield, but Touchdown seemed to agree to something before leaving.


*3.0 defeated Baltic Siege, Ants At Work and Devastation Corp.


*The Bravados defeated Los Ice Cream, The Steel City Degenerates and Wrecking Crew 2k

[seejayess]

Here is the full line up for our next show "Heart Of Black And Gold"


Eddie Kingston and Johnny Gargano will battle once again for The Iron Man Championship.  Kingston will look to make Gargano's reign a very short one.


Gran Akuma (5), Jigsaw (4) and Delirious (2) will compete in a three way elimination match to determined who will be the next challenger for The Iron Man Championship (should Kingston lose in the main event)


3.0 will be cashing in their challenge match against Da Soul Touchaz.  Jaz and Rockett will have to keep it together  if they want to maintain their spot in the Top 5.


Colt Cabana has challenged Ultramantis Black for his spot in the Top 5.  This will be a prelude as The Black Mambas are set to defend the tag team titles against The Brotherhood Of The Traveling Tights.


The Batiri (5) and The Colony (4) will battle for positioning in the Tag Team Top 5.  


Chuck Taylor wants to publicity set the record straight with Lancelot Bravado.  Drew Gulak and Harlem Bravado will also be keeping a eye on matters during this encounter.


El Generico will be in singles actions as he takes on Worker Ant.


Devastation Corp. and The Wrecking Crew will collide in the middle of the ring.  The medical staff will no doubt have to work on all four of these men after the match as they will not be afraid to put a hurt on each other.

[seejayess]

A video of Eddie Kingston aired on Steelkara.com


Kingston: Johnny Gargano.  I never thought you would be the one to defeat me for the Iron Man Title.  Remember this, I lost that title before and I can win it back again.  February, we have a rematch.  You managed to defeat me, I dare you to try it again.  Come next month, I'm getting my belt back.

Aftershock Recap
by Justin Plummer


Hello Fans, welcome to the Aftershock Recap for "A Heart Of Black and Gold".  A lot of action went down, so let's jump right in.


Johnny Gargano made his first defense as Iron Man Champion a successful one as he defeated former champion Eddie Kingston in four falls.  His next title defense has already been signed.  He will be facing Gran Akuma in April.


Akuma got the title shot when he defeated Jigsaw and Delirious in a Triple Threat Match.  Jigsaw, who was pinned in the match, fell to #3.  Delirious maintained his #2 rank.


Normally when someone loses their title shot, they dropped to #5.  Kingston only fell to #4 as a new wrestler entered The Top 5.  Colt Cabana cashed in his challenge match and defeated #3 Ultramantis Black.  Cabana entered at #5.  These two will meet next month in Tag Team action for the Tag Team Titles.


A new team entered  the Top 5.  3.0 was successful in their challenge and knocked off the struggling Soul Touchaz.  The match was a result of a disqualification when Rockett used brass knuckles on Matthews.  Jaz asked for the knuckles so he can hit Parker.  Instead he woke up the ref and admitted to using the knuckles on Matthews.  The ref rang the bell and rewarded the match to 3.0.


The Colony and The Batiri engaged in a battle that fans are calling the first entry for Match Of The Year.  The battle was so intense that Kodama and Soldier Ant were knocked out of the match.  Obariyon managed to outlast Fire Ant and get the win.  The two team flipped in the standings (Batiri #4, Colony #5)


Chuck Taylor took on Shynron in a impromptu match that was supposed to be Taylor vs Lancelot Bravado.  Shynron took advantage of the opportunity and recorded the win.  Taylor lost his mind afterwards.


El Generico was successful in his match against Worker Ant.  Generico could be on his way to joining his partner Colt Cabana in the Top 5.


In a battle of two hard hitting teams, The Devastation Corp outlasted Wrecking Crew 2k.  The battle ensued after the bell.  No doubt that these two teams will collide again.


Fans, we will have two shows next month.  Our 5th annual King of Flight tournament will take place.  Sixteen of the best high flyers will soar above the ring.  


The main event for our second show has been signed.  The Black Mambas will defend the Tag Team Titles against former champions Colt Cabana and El Generico


We will have more info on both cards once all the matches are officials.

[bookerbill]

Glad to see Kingston go down in his rematch.

[seejayess]

Here is the full card for Night one of our March double header.


Night 1 -  The King Of Flight Tournament


Sixteen wrestlers will soar above the ring to crown The King Of Flight.


AR Fox, Ricochet, ACH, Shynron, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Ophidian, El Generico, Scorpio Sky, Frightmare, Marshe Rockett, Rich Swann, Caleb Konley, Nick Madrid, Chuck Taylor and Fire Ant.


In addition:


Dasher Hatfield has one win under his belt.  He will look to get win number two as he faces against The Thunder Frog.


These four teams will battle for wins a elimination match:


Ants At Work vs Baltic Siege vs The steel City Generates vs The Southern Gentlemen


Jaka's team lost to Blaster's team at A Heart Of Black And Gold.  Jaka will look for payback as he faces against Blaster in single action.

[seejayess]

Here is the full card for Night 2 Of The March Double Shot


Night 2: Beware the green eyes of March


The Black Mambas will defend the tag team titles against The Brotherhood of the Traveling Tights.  Colt Cabana and El Generico will look to become the first full team to become two time champs.


With the Brotherhood going after the belts, new #1 contenders will be decided.  3.0, The Colony, The Batiri and Incoherent will face off in a elimination match.


Eddie Kingston will begins his climb back to the #1 contender spot as he faces off against Jigsaw.


Gran Akuma has declared he will challenge Johnny Gargano next month.  He must first deal with Delirious in a battle of Top 5 wrestlers.


Two of the most athletic and exciting young wrestlers will face off in the ring.  Shynron will lock up against ACH.  This will be one great contest.


Da Soul Touchaz start their climb back to contention as they face off against The Bravados.  Acid Jaz and Marshe Rockett must keep it together if they want to get back to the Top 5.


Pinkie Sanchez and Mr Touchdown will look to start their winnings ways as they square off in singles action.


Night One saw their partners go to war.  Night two will be Flex of Devastation Corp face off against Oleg of the Wrecking Crew.  This will definitely be a battle.
