Debut Match: Renegades of Funk vs. Sights and Sounds
Dai Gensui thoughts: Impressive debut the the roughneck Renegades of Funk. I love wrestlers who fight with a purpose, political or not. They will be a tough team to look out for. As for Sights and Sounds, a slight setback as it seems Hyobe Honami may be concussed. We’ll have to see.
Tryout Match: Battle Monkey vs. Titus Clearwater
Dai Gensui Thoughts: Obviously, Battle Monkey was an intriguing tryout. Opogogo in particular was really interested to see him in action. Titus Clearwater was a recommendation of AMBITION partner and current SUPER NOVA roster member Cornbread. I must say both seem pretty sound in their craft. I like what I see.
Verdict: Both wrestlers are signed
Verdict: Both wrestlers are signed
Canadian Lynx vs. Fudo Murata
Dai Gensui Thoughts: Canadian Lynx continues to impress with his in-ring ability. Fudo on the flipside seems to really be in a funk. I mean after this match, he just went…berserk and was…incoherent. Screaming even. Like a banshee. This is strange.
Tryout Match: Volar Alto vs. Solaris
Dai Gensui Thoughts: WOW! Very exciting and fast-paced action from both individuals. It really could have gone either way, but it looks like the veteran pulled it off in the end with a nice enziguiri to springboard rana combo. I look forward to seeing more of them.
Verdict: Both wrestlers are signed

Debut Match: Brick and Mortar vs. The Lunch Bunch
Dai Gensui thoughts: The debuting Brickhouse along with newly acquired partner Iwao Inoguchi have formed a big, formidable team of strong men in Brick and Mortar. Pretty much made the Lunch Bunch lose their lunch in the process.
Ogden Meadows vs. Ulysses Monson
Dai Gensui thoughts: When you compare this match to both wrestlers' performances in the recent Star Carnival, this was a total reversal of expectations. Ulysses, though very green, debuted very nicely and managed to advance out of his group. Ogden on the other hand was in the toughest group and got plagued with a few draws that hurt his score. Nature's wrath was in full effect here as Ogden took out his frustration on Ulysses and subdued him quite quickly. It seems Ulysses finally got his "Welcome to wrestling" moment here. Watch out for that tree!
