Tryout Match: JJ Adams vs. Drace Strife
Dai Gensui Says: Drace dominated about 75% of this match while JJ slowly chipped away. Didn’t really turn until JJ frankensteinered Drace to the outside much to my concern!
From there, JJ turned it up, but Drace recovered enough to pull out a close win. We’ll keep both around to see where they go.
VERDICT: Both Drace Strife and JJ Adams are signed.

Tryout Match: Rei Tsuda vs. Gorgon
Dai Gensui Says: Gorgon is quite the scrappy fighter and attempted to really make Rei quit with a few armbars, but that was all erased when the suplexes happened. Rei dominated the last half of the match and really put an exclamation point on the whole thing. Very Kobashi/Dr. Death like.
VERDICT: Rei Tsuda is signed to the NEBULA Factory joshi division. Gorgon is not signed.

Tryout Match: Umbra vs. Tiger Dragon
Dai Gensui Says: Tiger Dragon rebounded nicely here after getting embarrassed between Hyper Earth and MAR during their oneupsmanship on the poor guy.
Very athletic and competitive here though. Umbra never really got going, but it was probably all the light getting to him.
VERDICT: Umbra is borderline. Decision to come later down the road.

Tryout Match: Skyler Storm vs. Chris Locke
Dai Gensui Says: Both of these guys put on a pretty technical clinic. Skyler was effective with his suplexes, but nearly fell victim to the grinding armwork of Locke. A nifty flash pin helped Storm win. Looking forward to seeing both guys down the road.
VERDICT: Both Skyler Storm and Chris Locke signed.
VERDICT: Both Skyler Storm and Chris Locke signed.
Tryout Match: Taryn Miller vs. Valencia Cruz
Dai Gensui Says: Well this one caught me by surprise. Taryn was extremely confident and energetic in this match while Valencia appeared gassed before this match got to halfway. A shocking upset featuring many dives and Karelin lifts by Miller. Cruz needs to check herself if she wishes to keep up with this influx of joshi competition.
VERDICT: Taryn Miller is signed to the NEBULA Factory joshi division.

Grudge Match: Matt "Blitz" Burke vs. Miami Machine
After the match, Matt Burke is blindsided by a mysterious figure.
Dai Gensui Says: An incredible match between Miami Machine and Matt Burke. While Machine kept suplexing and showboating, Burke would respond with brawling and dirty tactics. After 2 of MM’s Hurricane Slams ended up spilling Burke accidentally to the floor, he eventually got frustrated and tried to get dirty as well.
He tried to chop block Burke kind of like how Ben Roethlisberger got clipped on Sunday, but Burke made a Big Ben evasive maneuver which made MM fall on his face. From there, Burke busted him open with stomps and won with The Steel Curtain.
As for the post-match actions, it appears as though we got an influx of sports fanatics around here. A gameplan seems needed to solve this one.
