I usually don't posy results a lot, mostly because I've had a hard time concentrating on writing anything this past year. However, this ppv had so many interesting surprises that I decided to post it. The reason I did the tournament is is I have rather large indie roster, but I'm putting off more titles for the time being. Instead, I have tournaments from time to time, where wrestlers battle for trophies, pay raises, etc.
The Friends or Foes tournament combines several matches from wrestling such as Lethal Lottery and Survivor Series. Wrestlers are randomly assigned to teams to face opponents. At the end, the sole survivors battle in a battle royal for the trophy. As an added rule, since very few wrestlers actually got teamed with allies, I didn't allow tagging out on defense. for offense, wrestlers could tag out on Level 1 Offense if, after rolling 1d6, I rolled equal to or less than the number of tokens they had. In other words, wrestlers hurt more were more likely to tag out. Or their partners were more likely to let them tag out (I used that last in in a certain match, mentioned later).
1. Drew Gulak, Moose, Tony Neese, Jon Davis vs. Uhaa Nation, Mark Andrews, Biff Busic, Chuck Taylor
Gulak got DQ'ed when trying to save Neese. Davis pinned Taylor. Moose pinned Nation, his former partner, Busic pinned Neese. Davis pinned Busic. Moose pinned Andrews.
Sole Survivors: Moose and Davis.
2. Mark Haskins, Blake Christian, Rich Swann, Matt Justics vs. Alex Zayne, Johnny Gargano, DJZ, Ace Austin
Christian shocked everyone when he pinned Gargano. Haskins pinned Zayne. DJZ pinned Justice. Christian pinned Austin. DJZ upset Swann. Haskins pinned DJZ.
Sole Survivors: Haskins, Christian.
3. Flash Morgan Webster, Walter, Timothy Thatcher, Chris Sabin vs. Pete Dunne, Domminic Garrini, Ricochet, Matt Riddle
Dunne destroyed Webster. Walter pinned Dunne. Thatcher pinned Riddle after his partners refused to let him tag out. Sabin pinned Garrini. Ricochet pinned Sabin. Walter pinned Ricochet.
Sole Survivors: Walter, Thatcher.
4. Normal match: The Magic Castle (Donovan Dijak and Dalton Castle) defeated Gray Fox (AJ Gray and AR Fox) to regain the Tag Team Titles.
5. Normal Match: FIST World Champion Zack Sabre defeated Caleb Konley in an extremely close match. Konley scored several near falls, including one where Sabre just barely raised his shoulder. Sabre then locked Konley in an ground octopus submission and rolled it into a pin. The two shook hands afterward.
6. Battle Royal for Friends or Foes Trophy: Blake Christian vs. Walter vs. Timothy Thatcher vs. Jon Davis vs. Moose vs. Mark Haskins.
Christian eliminated Davis. Christian then reversed an Irish whip and eliminated Thatcher. After taking a beating, Christian came back and eliminated Haskins. Walter tossed out Moose. Christian eliminated Walter after 3 DDTs.
(The ending shocked me. While I like Blake because his first name is also the last name of my favorite writer, I didn't think he had a chance in the tournament. Making it to the BR was a surprise in itself, but eliminating nearly everyone was a welcome shock. I'll probably have Sabre give him a title shot in the future. He probably won't beat Sabre, but it'd be a fun match anyway).
