The show begins with the athletes standing in the center of the TRADITION ring. A video is shown chronicling the history of the promotion which was established back in 2009. It begins showing Crunchy's Bar and ANOTHER NAUGHTY THREESOME (SoCal Val & Traci Brooks & Angelina Love) It also highlights the veryfirst Tradition Champion; Takeshi Morishima and his feud with Steve Corino. It continues with the very first major angle and series of matches between Kurt Angle & Bison Smith. It highlights the tag team battles between the British Bulldogs against RVD & SABU as well as OI4K vs The Young Bucks and the Kings of Wrestling. It gives tribute to the only 3 time Tradition Champion; Chris Hero as well as former Champions Brian Kendrick, Ultramantus Black, and Mark Sterling. It highlights what some "promoters" on other boards might dub controversial fantasy wrestling championship reigns by CM Punk and Mitsuharu Misawa respectfully. It highlights the most recent tag team WAR between the Forever Hooligans and #TheMovement (Kimber Lee & Drew Gulak) and the historic YOSHI AMERICA Ladies championship LADDER Match.

The 450 fans in attendance chant TRADITION is FREE as the talent in the ring clap in appreciation. TRADITION officials come from the back to the isle way and unroll the TRADITION banner and raise it up over the entrance to the ring. Wrestlers then leave the ring and as they head backstage they tap the banner in a show of respect.

BRACKET A
FIRST ROUND RESULTS

AJ STYLES vs KYLE O' REILLY
"A standing ovation from the crowd to both men as they enter the ring. The to shake hands and both bow to the TRADITION banner in a great show of respect as the bell rings to start the match that begins TRADITION'S rebirth. Kyle tries a quick snap suplex that was blocked by Styles who delivers a nasty spine breaker followed by a discuss lariat turning Kyle inside out. Styles the veteran went for and applied his Calf Killer submission.

O'Reilly was able to get to the ropes for the break, Styles came off the ropes with a wicked knee strike to the head, and then attempts a star maker suplex which was blocked by Kyle who connects with a big boot. Styles jumped over an attempted spin kick by his opponent showing tremendous height and goes into the ropes and comes off with another discuss lariat again into his Calf Killer.

Once again O'Reilly makes the ropes, Styles almost did not break the hold before the 5 count finally releases the hold after a referee warning which perturbed the member of the Bullet Club who began arguing with the official! This gave Kyle time to recover and out of nowhere hit a Regal-plex dropping Styles leading to an ankle lock submission! AJ was able to turn over the hold but Kyle breaks the hold and goes for another Regal-plex but this time AJ lands on his feet and connects with a picture perfect Pele' kick!

Kyle is out on his feet and stumbles out of the ring, Styles delivers a nasty forearm shot to O'Reilly then tosses him back in the ring and quickly gets to the top rope and comes down from the heavens, Kyle raises his knees just before AJ connects with a splash! Kyle then goes and applies his GULLOTINE CHOKE Finisher! Style reaches the corner and the ropes for the break and as Styles wasgetting himself up to his feet in the corner, O'Reilly connects with a vicious dropkick in the corner right to his opponent's face!

GULLOTINE CHOKE Finisher once again by Kyle but once again Styles makes it to the ropes, after the break O'Reilly connects with his triple butterfly suplexes dumbing Styles on the back of his head! Ankle lock applied, Styles again escapes but Kyle quickly applies for the 3rd time in the match his GULLOTINE CHOKE Finisher!

The fans are standing in anticipation half screaming PLEASE DON'T TAP the other TAP...Kyle is screaming at his opponent to TAP! Styles continues to crawl closer to the ropes as he stretches out just inches away from the bottom rope...suddenly he TAPS OUT! giving the victory to Kyle O' Reilly!

*THE CROWD GIVES BOTH MEN A STANDING OVATION AS THEY SLOWLY BOTH GET TO THEIR FEET IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AFTER A STAREDOWN FOR A FEW INTENSE MOMENTS STYLES EXTENDS HIS HAND AND O'REILLY ACCEPTS IT AND BOTH EMBRACE. STYLES APPLUADES AS KYLE GETS HIS HAND RAISED BY THE OFFICIAL IN VICTORY. AS BOTH MEN HEAD TO THE BACK THE BOTH TAP THE TRADITION BANNER IN RESPECT.*

"THE FALLEN ANGEL" CHRISTOPHER DANIELS vs. RODERICK STRONG

"What many believe would be the match of the first round, both men were introduced to equal cheers by the fans as the both bowed to the TRADITION banner in respect as the bell rang to begin the match.

For several minutes the two traded haymakers and vicious chops in the center of the ring with the ringside fans keeping count. Suddenly Daniels delivered a nasty low blow to Strong and came off the ropes which looked like a botched running neck breaker! Strong grabbed his neck screaming in pain!

The match stopped for a moment as the referee checked on Strong who screamed "DO NOT stop the match" Daniels did not hesitate as he went back on the attack with his Fall from Grace and two consecutive Death Valley Drivers dropping Strong right on his head! as he set up for his Koji Clutch Finisher fans that were their said Daniels had a smirk on his face as he applied the hold!

Strong in serious pain showed how tough he is by reaching the ropes for the break, Strong then just fell out of the ring just to try and get some separation from his opponent for a moment. Strong tried to get to his feet but could barely stand as Daniels come out after him. Strong delivered a knife edge chop with little or no effect.

Daniels slapped Strong then took him by the neck and slammed Strong head first 3 consecutive times into the steel post busting him wide open!! The fallen Angel rolled Roderick back in the ring as Strong continued pouring blood from his head to the point of  small pools of the red crimson covered part of the ring!

 Again with seemingly no remorse Daniels dropped Strong right on his head again with another Death Valley Driver! The official called for the bell to stop the match. Daniels left with Strong's blood on his arm and chest with his hand raised in victory...as he left he tapped the Tradition banner with his blood soaked hand.

*THE OFFICIAL QUICKLY CALLED FOR THE MEDICAL STAFF TO THE RING, FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS THEY ATTENDED TO STRONG AND A STRETCHER WAS BEING BROUGHT OUT TO THE RING. STRONG SAW IT AND DEMANDED "NO F*CKING STRETCHER!

WITH THE HELP OF THE OFFICIAL HOLDING HIM STRONG MADE IT TO HIS FEET, AND WITH HELP WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MAKE IT TO THE BACK AND WITH AGAIN HELP FROM THE OFFICIAL RAISE HIS HAND AND TAP THE TRADITION BANNER.

YUJI NAGATA vs. HAWAIIN LION

"The fans were still in shock over what they just witnessed and watch a ring attendant mop up the pools off blood left over on the mat. After a few moments both Hawaiin Lion and Yuji Nagata both got tremendous ovations entering the ring and as customary in his homeland streamers covered inside of the ring during Yuji Nagata's introduction.

Both men shook hands and bowed to the Tradition banner as the opening bell rang to begin the match. Nagata quickly tried an enzugiri which was ducked by Lion who then delivered a vicious knife edge Lion chop and quickly followed up with a beautiful snap belly to belly suplex!

Nagata was no question caught off guard and Lion kept the pressure on connecting with a lariat and dropping the legend from Japan right on the back of his head with a Saito suplex!!

Lion applies his ANKLE LOCK Finisher but Nagata quickly escapes the hold but again gets sent down to the canvas with another Saito suplex! Lion looked to the crowd for approval, which gave Nagata time to recover and catch his opponent coming off the ropes with a back body drop which was quickly followed by a sheer drop brain buster dropping Lion right on his head!

Yuji then applied his Nagata Lock IV and despite hanging on for several minutes in the center of the ring Lion eventually tapped!

*AFTER THE MATCH, STREAMERS ONCE AGAIN FLOODED THE RING IN GREAT RESPECT TO NAGATA WHO HELPED LION UP AND APLLAUDED HIS EFFORTS IN THE MATCH, ANOTHER GREAT SHOW OF RESPECT. BOTH MEN LEFT THE RING TAPPING THE TRADITION BANNER.*

RYAN TAYLOR vs. SAMMI CALLIHAN
"These two you could tell wanted to attack each other from the get go as they both paced back and fourth in their respected corners during their introduction, the only time either stayed still was when they both bowed to the TRADITION Banner as the opening bell rang to begin the final first round match in Bracket A.

Sammi went for broke right off the bat with a flying tackle ATTEMPT but instead got caught in mid flight by a vicious round house kick to the head by Taylor and it looked as though Callihan was out cold as Ryan Taylor applied his Muta Lock!! which Taylor chain wrestled right into his Omoplata cross face!

No question Callihan was in trouble, however he was able to reach the ropes for just a moment until Taylor pulled him back away from the ropes before the ref called for the break. Taylor had it cinched in tight! Sammi some how was able to get a grip on the ropes and the referee eventually broke the hold but Sammi ate a Pendulum elbow square in the mouth busting his lip and maybe losing a tooth in the process. Sammi then got whipped into the turn buckle but out of nowhere came roaring out of the corner with a Forearm 2 Remember knocking Taylor for a loop!

With Taylor down, Sammi looked down at him with a smile you can see the blood from his busted lip staining his teeth with a Joker like grin. Taylor slowly got to his feet and ducked a haymaker right hand by Sami, came off the ropes into a running bicycle kick by his opponent almost taking his head off! Sammi went for an exploder suplex but got blocked with hard elbows to the face by Taylor who then got Callihan up and connected with his GTS!!!

Sammi again was down and Taylor could sense victory as he again applied his Muta Lock! After several minutes in the hold Sami somehow was able to escape to the utter shock of Taylor who came off the ropes full steam but got caught right into a nasty exploder suplex right against the turnbuckle. Taylor was out as Sammi applied his STRETCH MUFFLER Finisher and after several moments Taylor finally tapped!

*AFTER THE MATCH SAMMI SLAPPED THE HEAD OF TAYLOR GIVING HIM WHAT PEOPLE THINK ANYWAY RESPECT AND STORMED OUT OF THE RING AS HE PUNCHED THE BANNER AS HE HEADED TO THE BACK. TAYLOR GOT A NICE OVATION FROM THE CROWD AS HE LEFT THE RING AND ALSO TAPPED THE BANNER BEFOR HEADING TO THE BACK.*

NIGHT TWO
JENISON FIELD HOUSE
CAMPUS OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
EAST LANSING, MI
JULY 11TH 2015

The show begins with the four men that advanced to the second round of this tournament from BRACKET A last night Kyle O'Reilly faces Christopher Daniels in a stare down as does Sammi Callihan and Yuji Nagata. After a few tense moments all four turn and bow to the TRADITION banner, leave the ring to a standing ovation from the 450-500 people in attendance they each tap the same banner in a show of respect.

BRACKET B
FIRST ROUND RESULTS

ZACH SABRE JR vs. MICHEAL ELGIN

"A true contrast in styles here as the pure power & strength of the former ROH World Champion; Micheal Elgin to Zach Sabre Jr. pure speed and agility.

Both men shook hands and bowed to the TRADITION Banner and as the bell sounded Elgin got caught right off the get go by a kick to the mid section followed immediately by a penalty kick to the side of the head! Elgin was out as he rolled to the corner to get some separation but instead he ate a corner European uppercut rocking the jaw of Elgin.

Jr. followed that up with a tremendous show of strength with a Sabre Driver! Elgin withstood and was able to get a clubbing blow to the back of his opponent's head which lead to a impressive standing vertical suplex by Elgin BUT he could not capitailize as he was still shaking his head and feeling the effects of the penalty kick earlier. The official kept asking Elgin questions as he kept a close eye on his condition as he could have suffered a major concussion.

The official allowed the match to continue and Sabre did not waste anytime dropping Elgin on the back of his h ead with a text book Dragon Suplex, quickly followed up with his CROSS ARMBREAKER Finisher!

Elgin however not only did not tap but was able to slowly get to his feet, dead lift Sabre up with the arm applied to Sabre's finisher and deliver a buckle bomb! To the amazement of the crowd. With still trying to shake the cob webs loose Elgin took a moment to regroup and he attempted to deliver a fall away slam but Sabre Jr adjusted in mid air and landed on his feet!

Sabre then caught Elgin who had no idea his opponent landed on his feet with a roaring elbow right to the back of his head!

Leading to another CROSS ARMBREAKER Finisher which to some was a shock that Micheal Elgin eventually tapped out to!

*AFTER THE MATCH, THE OFFICIAL CONTINUED TO CHECK ON ELGIN WHO SLOWLY GOT TO HIS FEET AND WALKED OVER TO THE CELEBRATING SABRE, TURNED THE BRIT AROUND STARED AT HIM FOR A MOMENT AND SHOOK HIS HAND, AND TOLD HIM HE BETTER WIN THIS WHOLE F'N TOURNAMENT*

GREEN ANT vs. CHARLIE HAAS

*Haas reluctantly went ahead and shook the hand of his opponent, as they both turned and bowed to the tradition banner as the bell rang to begin the match*

"These two have really made their mark in the sport as tag team competitors, tonight they have a great opportunity to showcase that they are more. Haas seemed like he was pissed that he even was in the ring with the masked green ant, as he took him down by his waist, Ant quickly escaped but got a vicious clothesline for his troubles which was followed by a German Suplex.

HAAS OF PAIN Finisher applied but Green Ant was able to reach the ropes and pull away but both fall out of the ring! Charlie grabs Ant and slams him head first into the Steel Post! you can see a little stain of crimson red soak threw the green mask of Ant!

Haas throws him back into the ring and once again applies his HAAS of PAIN Finisher BUT once again Ant escapes before it is fully applied! Charlie is pissed! He starts screaming at the fans at ringside who were heckling him as well as the official!

Which gave time for Ant to recover and as Haas turned around, Green Ant connected with a picture perfect dropkick! followed by a top rope splash and his CLOVERLEAF Finisher! Charlie eventually reaches the ropes to break the hold..he tries a stiff forearm shot but Ant ducks and gets him up in a rack submission then takes him down on his shoulder to the mat and once again applies his CLOVERLEAF Finisher in a great show of chain wrestling! The All American from Seton Hall could not escape the hold and was forced to tap out!!

*HAAS IS PISSED AFTER THE MATCH AND STORMS OFF PUNCHING THE TRADITION BANNER HEADING TO THE BACK AS ANT CELEBRATED HIS WIN BY APPLUADING THE FANS*

TIM DONST vs. ROCKY ROMERO
"A huge reaction for both of these athletes as they shook hands and bowed to the TRADITION banner. These two went right at each other after Donst decided to talk trash to Romero and out of nowhere connected with belly to belly suplex which tossed Romero over the top rope to the concrete! Dosst followed his opponent out of the ring and slammed the Forever Hooligan head first into the steel post.

Donst plants Romero back in the ring and delivers a Gator Roll, he attempts another belly to belly over the top rope which Romero lands on his feet on the outside! Drags Donst outside and returns the favor by slamming his head into the steel post!!. Romero takes Donst back in the ring and applies his Diablo arm bar....Donst reaches the ropes but before he can grab the bottom rope, Romero pulls him away! That scenario happens in consession 3 more times before Donst finally taps out!"

*ROMERO HELPS DONST BACK TO HIS FEET, WHICH DONST JUST SMIRKS AND RIPS HIS ARM AWAY AND GETS UP ON HIS OWN, THE TWO HAVE A STARE DOWN...DOST SAYS THIS ISNT OVER THEN LEAVES TOUCHING THE TRADITION BANNER ON THE WAY TO THE BACK*

CHUCK TAYLOR  vs. TIMOTHY THATCHER

THE FINAL MATCH OF THE FIRST ROUND OF THE SWEET SCIENCE 16 TOURNAMENT, BOTH MEN STARE A HOLE AT EACH OTHER AND FINALLY SHAKE HANDS AND BOW TO THE TRADITION BANNER AS THE BELL RINGS TO BEGIN THE MATCH.

"Taylor catches Thatcher right in the face with a big boot, right as the bell rang, Taylor was pretty proud of himself and played to the crowd BUT Thatcher took the hit and responded in kind with a nasty European uppercut, followed by a snap suplex!

Taylor got up and for some strange reason slapped Thatcher in the face!!

Thatcher was in shock but Taylor and his antics worked because he connected with SOLE FOOD and applied his Cross Crab submission smack dab in the middle of the ring!!!!

Thatcher was in real trouble but slowly reverses the move and breaks the hold in an unbelievable so of determination. Taylor throws him into the ropes and Timothy comes of with a nasty shoulder tackle that sends Chuck flying down hard to the mat and before he knew what him, 2 consecutive London Bridge Falling Down!!! right into the Fujiwara arm bar Taylor taps after several minutes!!!

*AFTER THE MATCH, THATCHER LOOKS DOWN AT TAYLOR, CHUCK GETS UP QUICKLY AND EXTENDS HIS HAND, THATCHER ACCEPTS THE TWO LEAVE TAPPING THE TRADITION BANNER

the FIRST ROUND OF THE SWEET SCIENCE 16 IS IN THE HISTORY BOOKS STAY TUNED FOR ROUND 2 RESULTS...

[Pariah]

Holy snap! What a fantastic start to what is shaping up to be an incredible tournament... And hopefully, a fed that we'll see plenty of action from in the future...

Was quite surprised that O'Reilly got past Styles in the first round, but certainly not disappointed... Sometimes it makes things more exciting to have the favorites knocked out early...

Brutal display by Christopher Daniels... Will be try to repeat that savage performance against his next opponent? And I was truly happy to set Sami Callihan advance to the next round...

Still expecting Thatcher to go skill the easy to the final, but anything could happen... Cannot wait!

I'm certainly hoping this fed becomes a 'TRADITION' on the FG boards (sorry, could not help myself)... Loving it so far!

BRACKET A
SECOND ROUND RESULTS

KYLE O'REILLY vs. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS
"The second round begins, with Christopher Daniels coming to the ring still with the blood stains of Roderick Strong on his chest, from his brutal assault on the messiah of the backbreaker during Night One of this tournament. Daniels refused to comment on his actions when media confronted him after the fact. His opponent, what a tremendous victory over AJ Styles that had the fantasy wrestling boards a buzz.

O'Reilly extends his hand before the match begins, Daniels with what looks to be just a blank stare on his face, no emotion what so ever after a few tense moments slowly raises his hand and indeed shakes the hand of his opponent in respect. The two then turn to the TRADITION Banner and bow to it as well, as the opening bell rings and we are underway.

With sudden impact, Daniels connects with nasty punches to the face, followed by a sit down power bomb. Daniels then picks Kyle up by the hair and connects with a nasty knee to the head, which leads quickly to a Death Valley Driver!!!....fans start cheering for Roderick Strong and Daniels just smirks at the 450 or so fans in attendance and looks down on the blood on him that is as said earlier from Strong.

Daniels turns his attention back to Kyle who rolled outside the ring, the two go at it with vicious knife edge chops back and fourth almost into the front row. O'Reilly actually gets stronger with his chops the longer the duel goes and gets the upper hand to the delight of the fans. Kyle then grabs Daniels from the back of his head tells him "You like having blood on you so much why don't you have some of your own!" and with that slams Daniels face first into the steel post!!!!!

Daniels takes it, then turns to Kyle and laughs at him! Kyle responds with a Regal-plex on the concrete floor!! You could hear the sickening SPLAT sound of the back of Daniels head hit the concrete! Kyle throws Daniels back in the ring, The fallen Angel responds coming off the ropes and connecting with his Last Rights! and as he goes for his Koji Clutch submission before he has it applied Kyle connects with a very stiff elbow strike to the face of his opponent busting his nose wide open! O'Reilly then quickly applies his GULLOTINE CHOKE Finisher!!!

Daniels was trapped in the middle of the ring with blood pouring from his head and nose, he struggled trying to make the ropes and eventually despite inching closer to a break The Fallen Angel taps out!!!

*THE UNBELIEVABLE RUN IN THIS TOURNAMENT FOR KYLE O' REILLY CONTINUES...MEDICAL ATTENTION COMES DOWN TO THE RING FOR DANIELS AFTER THE MATCH WHICH HE REFUSES AND AS HE LEAVES THE RING WITH BLOOD STILL STREMING DOWN HIS FACE HE TAPS THE TRADITION BANNER AND SAYS TO HIMSELF "IT'S MORE ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS"*

YUJI NAGATA vs. SAMMI CALLIHAN

"Streamers once again flood the ring in respect for the great Yuji Nagats as introductions were being made, Sami was pacing like a caged lion in his corner, both men shook hands and bowed to the TRADITION Banner and this classic match was underway.

Right after the bell sounded Sami came off the ropes with a forearm 2 remember catching Nagata flush on the side of the head, but that was NOT the beginning of the end for Nagata, this match continued and went for over 30 minutes REAL TIME with these two not backing down an inch to one another, they brawled in the crowd and they escaped their opponents finishing holds several times as well as not willing to give the other the satisfaction of submitting to the other UNTIL for the 4th time in the match Sami applied his STRETCH MUFFLER Finisher and Nagata did NOT tap out but did pass out to the pain..the official in the match decided to call for the bell to end this war, and give Callihan perhaps the biggest victory in his career."

*AFTER THE MATCH, BOTH THE OFFICIAL AND CALLIHAN CHECKED ON NAGATA..OFFICIALS FROM THE BACK BROUGHT ICE PACKS AND BOTTLED WATER TO THE RING FOR THE JAPAN LEGEND. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS NAGATA CAME TO HIS FEET AND HE AND SAMI EMBRACED IN A GREAT SHOW OF RESPECT AS ONCE AGAIN STREAMERS COVERED THE RING. BOTH MEN TAPPED THE TRADITION BANNER AS THEY HEADED TO THE BACK*

BRACKET B
FIRST ROUND RESULTS

ZACH SABRE JR. vs. GREEN ANT
"Both men shake hands and bow to the TRADITION Banner, as this match is off and running right off the get go, Sabre hits his suicide dive as both men go crashing in between the middle ropes and to the concrete floor!!!! Green Ant cracked his head hard against the cement. Sabre dragged him back in the ring and dropped him with his Sabre Driver right into his CROSS ARM BREAKER Finisher. The official quickly signals to end the match as Green Ant was not responding"

*AFTER THE MATCH, SABRE AND THE OFFICIAL HELPED GREEN ANT TO HIS FEET AS THE FANS APPLAUDED AND BOTH MEN TAPPED THE TRADITION BANNER HEADING TO THE BACK*

ROCKY ROMERO vs. TIMOTHY THATCHER
"A great ovation for both men, as they shook hands and bowed to the TRADITION Banner as the bell rang to begin the last match of the Second Round of the tournament.

A tremendous first 10 minutes of the match of mat wrestling as well as counter wrestling as neither really got the advantage as these two are truly submission specialists. Once the new EVOLVE/DGUSA Champion: Timothy Thatcher got Romero into rocking chair surfboard it was the beginning of the end for the Forever Hooligan who to his credit was able to survive not only that but 2 Towers of McGuiness and 2 Thatcher Stretcher Finisher attempts!

The offense for Romero just was not there for this match as he seemed to be on the defense the whole time and when Thatcher put on a cross arm breaker in the center of the ring with no where to go Romero tapped!!!

*AFTER THE MATCH, YOU GUESSED IT THE TWO EMBRACED AND TOUCHED THE TRADITION BANNER AS THEY HEADED TO THE BACK TO END NIGHT 3 OF THE SWEET SCIENCE 16 TOURNAMENT*
