Thursday 3/22 - Men's Upper Bracket
John Pesek D. Ed Strangler Lewis at 5:07 with the Body Triangle and Crossface Dan Severn overcame an early power attack by Giant Azuma and picked up the victory via WAKIGATAME at 3:35 Bobby Eaton was nearly dominant in his match against Frank Dalton and scored the countout victory at 8:43 after a flying bodypress to the floor from which Dalton could not recover from In the first major upset of the tournament, SD Jones made great use of a Sleeper to set up a cross body block off the top rope and score the pin on Angelo Poffo at 2:40 Thantos takes it to Adam Pearce and, although he was game, Pearce was unable to mount any offense. Thantos gets the win via MASTERLOCK at 4:42 Kyle O'Reilly was all offense, not letting Tommy Gilbert get into a groove, and getting the win after multiple applications of ARMAGEDDON at 2:36 A great back and forth battle between Kenny Omega and Lou Thesz ends outside the ring when Omega is disqualified for ignoring referee's instructions at 5:52 Bruiser Costa and Skinhead engage in a brutal brawl, and Skinhead outlasts Costa with BAD ATTITUDE at 10:57
The talk of the locker room was SD Jones and how well he wrestled against Angelo Poffo. Could SD be turning over a new leaf, perhaps? Thantos and Kyle O'Reilly both looking dominant as well

Brute's brutal knife edges left Michael Bennett with bleeding wounds on his chest The crowd booed loud and long when Wolf's DQ was announced, nonetheless, Masada VS Fist should be the marquee matchup in the next round

Sunday 3/25 - Women's Lower Bracket In somewhat of an upset, Simply Luscious D. SuperNova via DQ at 6:23 MsChif D. Madison Eagles at 14:29 with the DESECRATER Shann-Ra D. Hudson Envy at 13:22 with PITFALL Amazonia D. Penny Banner at 4:24 with AMAZON ATTACK Angelus Lane and Leilani Kai fought to a Double DQ at 3:36 and were both eliminated AJ Lee D. Shazza McKenzie at 1:48 with BLACK WIDOW Taylor Made D. Davina Rose at 1:42 with the ACE CRUSHER Dangerous Denise Storm D. Mary Elizabeth Monroe at 6:45 with a Knee Lift
This completes the Women's First Round – Due to a Draw and a Double DQ, Sassy Stephie and AJ Lee both automatically advance to the Third Round – Women's Second Round matches are as follows..
Ida Mae Martinez VS Madusa Miceli Rhiannon VS Amber O'Neal Penelope Ford VS Allison Danger Simply Luscious VS MsChif Shann-Ra VS Amazonia Taylor Made VS Denise Storm
Now that the first round is completed, the second round matchups that have the most buzz are... Dan "The Beast" Severn VS "Tiger Man" John Pesek - This is expected to be a technical showcase Bryan Danielson VS Brute - A highly-skilled David against a brutal Goliath. Bryan Danielson is giving up a foot or more and 200 pounds to his opponent Masada VS Fist - A matchup of two brutal fighters who will stop at nothing to win Shann-Ra VS Amazonia may steal the show
Any predictions for the Second Round?

Monday 3/26 – Men's Savage Sixteen
In a wrestling clinic, John Pesek D. Dan Severn at 12:30 with the TIGER MAN TOEHOLD Bobby Eaton came back to defeat SD Jones at 4:36 with the ALABAMA JAM – In the first 30 seconds, SD nearly stole one with the KO Punch and was game up until the end In what was termed as a stunning upset, Kyle O'Reilly shocks Thantos at 1:49 with a Triangle Choke that knocked out Thantos Lou Thesz D. Skinhead at 3:12 with a GRECO ROMAN BACKDROP Quasar D. Will Ospreay at 9:29 with a Gravity Ball Tackle
In another shocker, Bryan Danielson outsmarts and outwrestles Brute, taking the match via CATTLE MUTILATION at 1:40. After staggering Brute with European Uppercuts and YES kicks, Bryan sent Brute outside, and as an enraged Brute came thru the ropes, Bryan brought him down and cinched in CATTLE MUTILATION. Brute struggled mightily but was forced to tap
Johnny Kobra makes quick work of Jake Manning with the LEG SWEEP at 2:09 In a one-sided match, Fist D. Masada with WEAPONS at 4:14
The crowd was abuzz about Bryan Danielson's quick win, and Brute was said to be enraged backstage after the match Lou Thesz not messing around tonight after his tougher than expected match against Kenny Omega in the first round Crowd was on their feet for Pesek/Severn as they exchanged holds and counters beautifully
The Men's Extreme Eight will be as follows.... "Tiger Man" John Pesek VS "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton Kyle O'Reilly VS Lou Thesz Quasar VS Bryan Danielson Johnny Kobra VS Fist
Johnny Kobra the most efficient fighter so far, only spending a total of 3:46 in the ring during his two wins so far

Interesting mix of wrestlers going here. Indeed! I have collected cards from GWF, LOW, and the Indies. I tend to subscribe to the Jim Cornette theory on booking, "Two guys/girls are gonna fight, who's gonna win?". I love doing random matchups just to see what happens. It keeps things interesting. Have you been following the WSLM tournaments?
