Monday Night Combat (1/21/08): Tying Up Loose Ends
LIEUTENANT
1. Debut Match
Justin Swanson v. Typhoon (Cage-docs)
Winner: Typhoon
Match Hype: A new storm has arrived in GHW, and it's name is Typhoon. Typhoon, the newest Lieutenant Superstar, will debut tonight against Justin Swanson in a cage match. It's always exciting to see what new Superstars can bring to the table, and this match will be no different.
2. ForSakeN v. Truco (LMS-docs)
Winner: ForSakeN
Match Hype: Truco defeated his last opponent, The Killer Animal, to win Gauntlet #1 last week on Mayhem. Now he gets to face a Superstars that he eliminated earlier in the Gauntlet, ForSakeN. FSN has no love lost for Truco, and he will try to get his revenge tonight.
3. JH777 v. Sergei Kravinoff (Single-docs)
Winner: Sergei Kravinoff
Match Hype: Superstars don't often get the chance to get payback as quickly as Sergei will. Tonight, he faces the man who eliminated him from Gauntlet #2 just last week after he entered last on the Fan vote. The only different from their last match is that this one is a singles match. Can Sergei exact his revenge and soften up JH for Sunday, or will JH beat the Fan Favorite twice in a row?
CAPTAIN
1. Debut Match
Ben Wallace v. Billy Styles (Single-docs)
Winner: Ben Wallace
Match Hype: Billy Styles has already qualified for the Money in the Bank Rumble this Sunday at From The Ashes, but tonight he'll face a rookie who's hungry. Ben Wallace will debut tonight, and he'll get a huge opportunity as well. If he can defeat Billy Styles, then he will earn a berth in the MITB Rumble along side Billy. There might not be a bigger debut that Ben's in the history of this company.
2. Money in the Bank Qualifier
Terremoto v. Duece (Cage-docs)
Winner: Terremoto
Match Hype: Terremoto gets a 2nd chance to enter the MITB match at the PPV with a cage match against Duece tonight. Duece knows how to win big matches though, so anything can happen. With stakes high, who will be the Superstar to emerge with the chance to fight on Sunday?
3. Money in the Bank Qualifier
Untamed Beast v. Luther (Ladder-docs)
Winner: Untamed Beast
Match Hype: Untamed Beast lost to Billy Styles last week in his MITB quest, but tonight he gets a second chance, and so does his opponent. Luther lost to Will Powers a few weeks ago, but can redeem himself tonight. Which Superstar is going to cash in on his second opportunity?
COLONEL
1. CHARISMATIC HARDY v. Big Closet (Single-docs)
Winner: CHARISMATIC HARDY
Match Hype: Two Latino Heat! stablemates are going to battle in a classic singles match tonight on Combat. Colonel Raju proved to be too much for CH on Mayhem, but can CH defeat his very own friend? Big C has been smashing Superstars left and right this month, but didn't fair too well in the Last Laugh Tournament. A win tonight could get him moving in the right direction for next month.
2. Bigguns88 v. Big Daddy (Table-docs)
Winner: Big Daddy
Match Hype: The main event for the Colonel Division is Big, and that's because it involved Bigguns88 and Big Daddy. Both of these Superstars lost at the very end of the Last Laugh Tournament this month, but Big Daddy still believes that he's the man to beat. Bigguns interrupted an interview by Big Daddy, which led to this match. These guys are two Superstars you don't want to mess with, so expect multiple tables being broken to shreds.
GENERAL
1. Gnarfflinger v. I Always Lose (Cage-docs)
Winner: I Always Lose
Match Hype: Gnarff and I Always Lose are two veterans who will clash in a cage tonight. Though both didn't win their Champions Tournament matches this month, they are still the future of the General Division. Any month now, either of them could jump on top and take over. Until then, let's enjoy them battle like brutes in a cage.
2. StrikerLT v. Ermac (Table-docs)
Winner: Ermac
Match Hype: StrikerLT has a date to vie for the General Championship this Sunday, but he must first defeat Ermac. The match on Sunday will be a Triple threat under hardcore rules, and there's no better way to get prepared than to fight in a table match.
3. Non-Title Match
Zantazm v. The Overtaker (Ladder-docs)
Winner: Zantazm
Match Hype: Zantazm and everyone else thought he'd be defending his Title against The Overtaker on Mayhem last week, but YOUNG GANGSTA came out of nowhere to earn the shot. Zantazm defeated YG, but now he will face the man that he had prepared for, OT. The title won't be on the line, but OT could get some huge confidence if he can take out the champ in a ladder match.
TAG TEAM
1. From The Ashes Medley
Skull and HawkEye v. Matthew Oliveira and Raju_The_Bomber (docs)
Winner: Skull and HawkEye
Match Hype: Skull will be defending his Captain Title against the man the fans voted in, Matthew Oliveira, at From The Ashes. Likewise, Raju will be defending his Colonel Championship against HawkEye on Sunday. Tonight we will see a medley of sorts as the champions tag with the contenders. What pair of Superstars will get the early mental and physical advantage going into the PPV?
2. Devils with Attitude v. Wild Demons (docs)
Winner: Devils with Attitude
Match Hype: Devils with Attitude will be fighting for the Bronze Tag Titles on Sunday, but first they must get through Wild Demons on their way to the PPV. Wild Demons have yet to notch a victory on their record, but if they could beat a title contender, that might do the trick to turn their situation around.
3. Collateral Damage v. Killer Maniacs (docs)
Winner: Killer Maniacs
Match Hype: Killer Maniacs return to tag action tonight after heavily dominating the Bronze Round Robin Tag Team Tournament a month ago. They currently sport a 6-0 undefeated record, and put it on the line against an up-and-coming Collateral Damage team. Will the ring rust be too much to shake off for KM?
4. Silver Tag Team Tournament Finale
Domination v. 85th Vertical (docs)
Winner: 85th Vertical
Match Hype: The Silver Tag Team Tournament comes to an end tonight when two strong teams battle it out for a Title shot against NSA at From The Ashes. No one expected 85th Vertical to make such a smooth transition into the Silver Division, but that just goes to show what a great team they really are. Domination will stand in their way, and they're not too shabby either. This is a dream match of two great tag teams. One of these teams will be the Silver Tag Champs eventually, if not at the PPV.
