KFL: Friday Night Fights (March 28, 2014)

- Nice to see JAT pick up his first win this week. He's been a hard luck story so far this year and was in dire need of a victory. While it doesn't make him a title contender by any means, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

- It was clear that hankypanky was affected by the backstage nonsense that occurred just prior to this week's card. He was a sitting duck for nightbreed, who still only narrowly picked up the win with an unconvincing +1 impact. Perhaps there's rematch potential to be had here, under more level circumstances.

- I count this as a big win for Chryo_Spyder. Taking on a seasoned competitor such as MINION is no easy task for all but the best in the KFL, but Chryo_Spyder stood tall and emerged victorious. Now over the .500 mark at 3-2, I like where he's headed. Another step up the ladder is warranted.

- The first duo match on this week's card was my way of rewarding Unknown265 & mwgrant0 for their win last time out, by giving them an opportunity to make a name for themselves against one of the better teams in the KFL. While they came up short against Jerrod and Killswitch, they were very game in the loss and were not intimidated. That could go a long way towards future success.

- Asesino returned to action this week and took care of business against Methuselah6463. He made no doubts about his skill in The Great Arena this week, evening his record at 4-4. A rough loss for Methuselah to be sure, but he'll bounce back.

- Success is fleeting in the KFL, and nobody knows that better than legoslayer10. Beginning the year as one of the contenders to the championship, he has since suffered a precipitous fall from grace and I'm not sure there's much left for him at this point. The time might be now for him to disappear for a bit and lick his wounds. A win is a win, but redman should not feel too mighty after this contest.

- If the KFL had a duo championship, BMK & Onryo would hold the belts for sure. They've beaten everyone in their path and have looked great doing it. MKRocket & blacksaibot are probably the #2 team at the moment, which for now is something to hang their hats on. They've gelled nicely as a unit and have enjoyed moderate success, but sooner or later they'll want to claim the spotlight.

- NovaStarr presented herself as the next obstacle for the undefeated 4avenger5, and he passed the test with flying colors! He has now run his mark to 7-0 and is garnering serious title considerations. The loss doesn't look good for NovaStarr in the here and now, but should avenger go on to capture the KFL gold she will surely be wanting a rematch!

- Originally, this match was supposed to be a 3-way. However, Zmoke's sudden retirement from the KFL left it as a singles contest, and Ghostdragon was the better man tonight. He has all the tools to be the KFL champ, but hasn't displayed that wow factor on a consistent basis that would immediately give him #1 contender status. DeathScepter will continue to hang around the second tier of competitors, I'm sure.

- Nephrite was angling in on a third meeting with KFL Champion TNR, but he did not account for the ferocity and will to win that is coltess! By the narrowest of margins, coltess secured a win that has many people clamoring for him to get a title shot... and why not? He's 8-2 so far this year, has wins against some big-time names, and his only blemishes are against Ghostdragon and the undefeated 4avenger5. He may indeed be ready for his chance, and potentially sooner than you think.

- LordSkarlet entered The Great Arena tonight demanding answers regarding who was behind the heinous attack that took him out of his scheduled championship encounter with TNR. The champ claimed no responsibility for the assault, and so this match was made as a way to perhaps shed light on the matter. With the bookers promising clues in return for a victory over VenoMark, LordSkarlet approached the fight with renewed tenacity and fire. However, VenoMark's desires to defend himself and win the match for the sake of being triumphant were too strong on this day. This saga is far from over, folks. Next week's card will be more revealing, regardless of the result.

- As a championship contest, this was a match made in heaven. TNR and jack competed in the first ever KFL Championship match back in 2012, won by TNR, with jack defeating him for the belt in a return match a week later. Since then, TNR has tacked on three more title reigns and has rolled up many wins in KFL competition while jack hasn't enjoyed the same success. The champ appeared ripe for the picking this week, with a couple of cruise control wins over Nephrite to his credit in his current reign; it was obvious that he had yet to be truly tested. The result was clear, though, as TNR retained the title with a +2 impact.

Early dirt sheets coming out of tonight's show claim that TNR will not defend next week and that the main events will feature a #1 contender's match of some sort, the next installment of LordSkarlet's quest to get revenge, and that we may see a teaser for the return of a former KFL champ to The Great Arena. All of this, of course, is subject to change.
