CARD OVERVIEW:
Another great card,another successful title defenses by Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles.

All of you fans have witnessed three qualifying matches for the upcoming tournament to determine a new NWA Universal Champion. The three wrestlers that advanced are:
1)Lance Storm
2)Elix Skipper
3)Jushin Liger

Due to another circuit having the same name to two of my titles. The NWA World Title in my circuit has been renamed to NWA Universal Title & the NWA World Tag Team Titles are now renamed to NWA Universal Tag Team Titles, so that lacks all confusion.

Match of the Week:
Jushin Liger vs CM Punk
Rating: *****

Man, is it me or is Benoit sucking at the moment? Losing loads up till now, now another one in under five minutes to Lance Storm. Poor guy.

On a plus side, that "match of the week" contest must have been one sided... wow. Those two, Liger and Punk, really gutted it out.

That's because the Chris Benoit export is a bit on the weak side.  And by that I mean that it's accurate but doesn't do well in TNM.  Benoit's got a fairly large moveset, but a relatively small proportion of his moves are high damage, high impact.  If you want to increase his chances of victory slightly, add a couple more German Suplexes to his moveset.

Alternately, you could make the Crossface happen out of the ropes - this would make him go for his finisher a lot more often.

If you want to make him much more effective, you could do both.

Just as a side note for future reference, we kind of pulled a fast one on you in the voting for NWA All-Stars. Curry Man is the gimmick Chris Daniels portrays in Japan, so they are the same person.

I knew that all along. I just wanted to see who would've been the better wrestler of the two, now I'll never know.

Ah, just checking, lol. Since they faced each other on the first card and all.
