KFL: Friday Night Fights (April 25, 2014)

- It just hasn't come together for hankypanky1 the way anyone hoped. His affiliation with Zmoke was seen as a way to get him into higher profile matches from the get-go, but Zmoke's sudden retirement put the kibosh on any planned storylines. Good win for tghuhyg19 all the same; he came to compete and defeated the opponent placed in front of him.

- With the calendar turning to May next week, it may be time for a new batch of contenders to surface. I'm not saying that irulegames1234 will be one of them in the coming month, but taking care of business against a similarly-skilled foe never hurts! DarknessDragon appeared to be in control at some points but just couldn't seal the deal; it's back to the drawing board for him!

- This being only his third match of 2014, SK9608 hasn't been afforded many opportunities on the big stage of the KFL. Tonight's match against kenti290 was one where he took full advantage of the spotlight! Fighting with purpose and drive, SK9608 secured a narrow victory! Early backstage reports have indicated that the win impressed bookers and that he will take on a more prominent role in the KFL!

- Business as usual for Unknown265 & mwgrant0 after having last week off! They were tasked with taking on upstarts hydraslash & Methuselah6463 after the latter duo's close loss to redman & MINION, and the veteran pair delivered a solid win! hydraslash & Methuselah6463 may be better served going their separate ways for a bit. It could help to establish them as singles competitors before returning them to the Duo ranks.

- Ahead of his ominous clash with VenoMark this weekend, Onimike bought himself precious little insurance with his +1 impact against subzero776! The win improves Onimike's record to 3-1 this year, indicating a strong start for him in the 2014 season. Provided he survives the encounter with VenoMark, a move up the card might be warranted.

- NovaStarr's recent success continues! Facing a stiff challenge from United's Murdoink, she triumphed in a match that many thought had ended in a draw! When all was said and done, NovaStarr had slightly more left in the tank and she was able to add another impressive win to her 2014 KFL résumé! There might be rematch potential here, though Murdoink has struggled mightily this season with a 2-5 record. We'll see what comes of next week's action!

- Philip94 had been quietly building his own championship contender case with wins in his first three contests this year, but he was halted this time by the might of Chryo_Spyder! The former champion nearly escaped with the win but came up just short. Though he's fared well in 3-way matches so far, success in singles competition has been fleeting. This victory gives C_S the confidence to shoot for bigger targets down the road!

- The Duo Division headliner for the evening was a rubber match between two established threats in the KFL. Jerrod & Killswitch had been on a nice run recently and that includes wins against MKR & blacksaibot; but as we've learned throughout 2014, you can throw away the book when these two teams get together! Jerrod's bid for his 10th win of the year was denied by the combined strength of MKR & blacksaibot! Truly an entertaining bout that made up for the absence of BMK & Onryo from the card.

- I don't want to say that it's occurred yet, but Sekktor's last two results are very reminiscent of what happened to legoslayer10 earlier this season. Don't take anything away from Scott-Howell, though; this match was a challenging prospect after last week's close victory over DeathScepter and he simply would not be denied this time out! A solid win for Howell and he is already being discussed for a title opportunity backstage!

- The sting of coming so close in last week's championship opportunity still fresh in his mind, Ghostdragon left no doubts this week against Nephrite. It became crystal clear that the "Silent Assassin" will not rest until he claims gold! Nephrite is humbled by the loss, to be sure, but I think this was more a case of "wrong place, wrong time" than anything else. He'll recover.

- After last week's close call, Y2K was told by officials that he'd have this week off, and that a triple threat match to determine his next opponent would take place. Forgoing Ghostdragon after his chance last week, bookers chose the three men who tried and failed before him to square off in this encounter! The Great Arena was on the edge of its collective seat throughout the match, and it was the cagey veteran, jack4813, who stood tall on this night! He picked his spots with precision and handled 4avenger5 after the latter had eliminated coltess! This is familiar territory for jack, but will he reach the top of the mountain next week?

- With rumors swirling for weeks about who wanted LordSkarlet dealt with leading up to his title match with Y2K, Shoe offered a final answer to the revenge-driven heavyweight, but had to make sure that he was worthy of knowing his attacker first! The result was slightly surprising - not necessarily the winner, but the size of the finishing strike! LordSkarlet made short work of Shoe, sending the shockwaves of a +5 impact throughout The Great Arena!

- After the match, Shoe made the announcement that everyone had been waiting over a month to hear! Keeping to his word, he divulged the identity of LordSkarlet's attacker - none other than Genku! Shoe said that it was the lust for gold and the rage that resulted from not being featured in KFL events that drove him to commit the heinous act! In a surprise moment, Y2K emerged from the shadows, belt in hand! He assured LordSkarlet that he had no prior knowledge of the assault, a statement that Shoe backed up! The champion told the former #1 contender that he would have his main event moment, but that they first had business to take care of... together! Will Y2K help LS exact revenge, or is there another motive in play? Stay tuned!
