A triumphant return for Shoe this week! I dare say The United could definitely use a centering influence right now, and that's what he's back to provide! I get a real kick out of the VS United format. It'd be a real shocker for The Invasion pawns to be the first group to beat them, but the preview paints a pretty compelling picture for a possible upset!
Speaking of upsets, I really admire the tenacity Poasty is showing with his challenge for next month's All-Star Summer Showdown. Every feeling in my bones tells me it's just too early for Poasty to be going for the big prize, but I am 100% buying in to the story of the rematch. The simple fact is: Poasty has beaten Damo before, and there's no reason he can't do it again. The way he handled Genku during this week's Friday Night Fights certainly showed that! The Champion of Champions versus The Chosen One. That's a marquee I can't wait to see!
Genku is really skidding all over the map. Some of his recent bad luck is obviously self-inflicted, but I've been very surprised to see him losing where it counts: in matches. I thought he was a little hard done by missing out on Royal Roulette, but those twists of the screw are where drama comes from. I don't think he'll get a lot of love trying to call out Mick for a fight, but after the way things have been going, the challenge was inevitable. Dead Or Alive X would be the place to do it, with most of Mick's matches coming from ICWW. No word from The Chairman yet. I suppose stranger things have happened.
I noticed some impressive wins this Friday for Benjamin, J-Spit, and Miller. I think it's worth keeping an eye on those guys. I was also interested to see Killswitch & jack4813 team-up to take on rxvt & deadly. rxvt's return at Pre-Show 96 didn't get a lot of fanfare, but that's a valuable team to have together again. Even if it meant more problems for Killswitch over the past few weeks.
Don't miss VS United later today as we say goodbye to July, and hello to a big month of action in The Great Arena! August is when the Summer Season really kicks into gear! August 10 for the 15th Anniversary ICWW special Dead Or Alive X, August 20th for All-Star Summer Showdown, and then the wrap-up with the 2017 Summer Grand Slam. It's gonna be huge!
