Winner: 
Why?: No Comment


Winner: Shaelin O'Hara
Why?: Vashta clobbered his way to victory on chapter two, but not dominate as that fact suggests. Nevertheless, Vashta reversed his top rope position in his favor for a double stomp crowd-pleaser surely a new calling card. Yet when I think of Shaelin's calling card from chapter one, I recall a simple dropkick backed with a level of ferocity most wrestlers can't achieve no matter how many hours spent in the gym. When you're young and hungry for glory and hitting that hard? Hard to deny. But I must admit Vashta is the odds-on favorite in this one for good reason. The finish of his previous bout speaks more to his general senses than an act of desperation, arguably similar to my own recent bout.


Winner: Pedro Gonzales
Why?: Critics never admit Pedro is way beyond his cashier background a year plus into a fast rising career, even in the face of evidence like his PWA Spirit Cup victory months ago, and quick ascension in the Pangaea rankings. Here Pedro is facing a heavy hitter who battered and bruised me, but Pedro has been through many wars alongside me and I know he too can overcome a difficult man such as Jake Mandell.


Winner: Cutter Driftwood
Why?: Shaelin sunset pinning Cutter last show is unquestionably the first big upset in Pangaea history. Especially after chapter one's devastating lariat finish to close the show which made Cutter the clear favorite in this 'world war'. So now Cutter must bounce back with a monstrous performance, and he should be able to against Keegan whose game I find self-defeating. Consider the faults of Armada's first performance on chapter one where 'running away' and 'slapping' and 'taunting' were his choice of action, and then he lost. On chapter two, Armada completely rethought his game and pulled off a wonderful spiral tap for the win. That's the difference I believe Keegan must make if he wants to rebound. And there's a man coming at Keegan knowing exactly what to do.


Winner: Armada
Why?: Both wrestlers are coming off solid victories, but Armada was the more impressive performance of the two. I believe after such a huge amount of improvement and attitude adjustment in a single week over a loss, Armada isn't just on the right track but jogging along confidently. Brooklyn may be distracted by the presence of Cutter Driftwood who I hope won't interfere but I saw the dropkick Brooklyn hit him with.


Winner: Trashcan Sam
Why?: His promo video alone reminded me of my archrival Deicide if not for his wretched look than the vulgar attitude suggesting a very experienced street fighter. And a lot depends on Giovanni's high flying which I cannot comment on due to his prior unrecorded dark match.


Winner: No Answer
Why?: The same case of Giovanni being unknown to me. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention at the last show during the dark matches. But I will make the effort to watch replays of this one. Best of luck to both wrestlers.

Winner: Jordan Taylor
Why?: The talk on twitter seems to be all about Jordan ready to release a lifetime of frustration over past bullying. I don't know what else to make of this, but the fans know best, don't they?
