- Nice bounce back win for JUST_A_TARKATAN after his loss two weeks ago. A performance like this will be great for his confidence and it'll be interesting to see if he picks up momentum off of this. Hard luck for TheMetinPorta, who is still searching for that elusive first victory of 2014.
- The night's third contest kept with the theme of featuring guys who are still trying to find their way this season. DarknessDragon has struggled mightily thus far and that trend continued tonight against rick991. It's amazing how one win can vault you ten spots in the rankings, but that's exactly what we saw tonight. Some tougher opponents will be coming rick's way for sure.
- Has a new contender been born? It's far too soon to tell, but as two of the higher end guys in the lower tier of the KFL, irulegames1234 and SK9608's match had more anticipation than expected. Both men showed flashes of brilliance, and in the end it was irulegames1234 who came out on top. Now at 3-2 on the year, he can move into the top half of the rankings with another win.
- The only 3-way match on the card yielded a somewhat unexpected result! I fully believed that legoslayer10's experience would carry him through, but as it has been all year for him, he disappointed once again. It's still a good win for nightbreed_16, though. He's gaining steam and the bookers will take a long look at him when thinking about who to elevate. Poor performance for subzero776, but to be fair he was a bit out of his weight class in this one.
- Electing to fly solo this week, Killswitch impressed The Great Arena faithful with a win over a former KFL champion! The experience he's gained fighting alongside Jerrod has been paramount to his success this year, and he has now cracked the league's top ten! Philip94 has nothing to be ashamed of here, but it certainly is a setback in his quest to regain gold!
- NovaStarr's impressive run lives on! She's been downright dominant over the last few weeks, picking up her third straight win! Faced with an apparently equal opponent in Jironobou, she left no doubt with a +2 impact! It's got to be rough for Jironobou, beginning the year as a potential title contender and then watching as others have flown past him to greater heights. Back to the drawing board for him.
- It was a big ask this week, but Chryo_Spyder's record over the last month or so commanded respect. Officials felt he was ready for the next level of competition, and tasked him with facing Sekktor! Sekktor must have a short memory, because he was assertive in victory tonight! His short losing streak over, he can now focus on climbing back up the ladder.
- With the recent shakeup in The Service Krew, you could have easily forgiven BMK & Onryo for dropping this match. However, the KFL's top dogs in the Duo Division would not be denied! In yet another display of championship-caliber fighting, they took it to MKR & blacksaibot and their aggression paid off huge! There had been talk of possibly pushing one or both of them towards a singles championship, but they're too hot right now for that!
- In an impromptu match, there's always the possibility that one combatant shows up more prepared than the other, and that's exactly what we got here. Attempting to correct an error on the card, Jerrod and Nephrite were quickly thrown together by the bookers and the result was a squash. I'm not sure I expected Jerrod to be the one delivering the resounding victory, but the +6 impact got everyone's attention! This seems like a decent point for Nephrite to take a few weeks off. He's been one of the most active fighters this season and he could use a break.
- Our #1 Contender's Match this week had some great storylines fueling it! In one corner, Ghostdragon, who came so close to capturing the KFL Championship two weeks ago and has been itching for another crack at Y2K! Opposing him was Scott-Howell, boasting a sparkling 6-1 record in 2014 and looking to put himself in position to win the belt! These two battled at a frenzied pace, each aiming to end it quickly! Ghostdragon was able to outlast Howell this time, but I have a feeling that he'll be back with a vengeance soon!
- Five weeks can be a long time to wait for something, especially when it's a shot at glory! Suffering a defeat in his championship match on March 28th, jack4813 did exactly what he needed to do to put himself back in this position. He once again had the main event spotlight squarely on him! It was another opportunity to dethrone his rival, TNR, whose reign had reached 70 days! In a match worthy of the KFL Championship, the challenger and champion fought with all their might! In the end, TNR once again did enough to retain, but it's the next in a line of very close calls for him! Will Ghostdragon be the one to put an end to TNR's dominance? Stay tuned!
