PRELUDE:
The Donald Davidson Memorial Center Arena is at a fever pitch as Maximum Queens enters Top 16! Four more folks will be eliminated tonight, and four folks will move on to Top 8!
The home stretch to the Maximum Queens Summit in Boston is at hand!
Winner: ---------Rio Misaki, via pinfall---------
Jason Hazard's Thoughts:
"Aife might have been running off the high of defeating MASAKO in the Losers' Bracket but you don't cross paths with an especially pissed off Rio Misaki and expect to come out on the other side with your luck intact. Fair play to Aife, but she'll have to give it another go next year."
Winner: -------Nikita DeGuarde, via pinfall-------
Jason Hazard's Thoughts:
"In all honesty, I'm not sure what went through Nikita's head this match. Somehow, she actuallym managed to abandon her usual 'piss the opponent off' tactics and take her opponent seriously. Seems like there's still the spark of that former long-running Double Trouble Champion hidden beneath her veins. Hopefully she can tap into that more as the Losers' Bracket goes on."
Winner: --------Hilda Volkmire, via pinfall--------
Power-25's Match of the Night!
Jason Hazard's Thoughts:
"I genuinely wasn't expecting these two to go so hard on each other! Saika still has a ways to go before they can really reach the top, but putting on a clinic against a long-time veteran like Hilda will certainly help them get there! Fair play to all involved!"
Winner: --------Juli J. Mason, via pinfall--------
Jason Hazard's Thoughts:
"It doesn't matter how angry you are or how much physical conditioning you go through, a steel chair is still a steel chair. My condolences to Falcon Thompson's back, and to whoever has to fight the increasingly terrifying Juli J. in the next round."
