KFL: Friday Night Fights (April 11, 2014)

- Onimike and bdog made their returns to FNF and had themselves a good opening contest. Fans were buzzing about last week's developments and this match only made them hungrier for more action! Onimike scored a solid victory and this may be just the thing for him to move up on the card!

- The difference in skill among the undercard is so slight that we've often seen high-quality matches early on in the night - and this one was no different! The story of this match was simple yet spirited; zebraska, ranked dead last in the KFL and in dire need of a victory, vs. hankypanky, the newcomer looking to make a strong impression! These two men fought with desperation, yet neither was able to win the fight! Proof positive that even the little guys can put on a big show!

- hydraslash ventured away from the Duo setting this week and was given all he could handle and then some from subzero776! Perhaps hydraslash fought too defensively because he stood alone tonight, but subzero776 took full advantage! The result was so close that the stylistic approaches of these two combatants made all the difference!

- I don't know where Unknown265 & mwgrant0 will rank among The Great Arena's teams when all is said and done, but I definitely like where they're headed. After engaging redman & MINION in separate singles matches last week, the partners took to the Duo setting and came away with another statement win over their rivals! Another rough loss for redman & MINION and it was apparent that they were not on the same page at times.

- As a former KFL Champion, albeit as a team with The_Purple_Bunny, Philip94 knows what it's like to taste the ultimate success in this league. Now, he's on a mission to climb the mountain all on his own! Maridany had enjoyed modest success since going 0-4 at the Winter Olympics, but he could not measure up to the caliber of Philip94! It's back to the drawing board for Maridany, while Philip moves on to perhaps greater challenges.

- Fresh off her dominance during the Battle Royal at UGP, collecting a staggering 23 eliminations before going down herself, NovaStarr returned to KFL action with an eye-opening win over CCShadow! Her overall record of 3-5-1 isn't exactly sparkling, but she's definitely trending in the right direction! CCShadow didn't have much on this night, suffering a +4 setback. He will surely look to regroup next week!

- The only 3-way match of the night provided opportunities for all involved! Jironobou had a chance to take the next step towards the top, legoslayer10 badly needed the win to regain his footing, and Chryo_Spyder earned this chance with solid performances this season. After eliminating Jironobou early on, legoslayer10 was unable to sustain the fury of the relentless Chryo_Spyder! The unexpected result is sure to resonate with the bookers in advance of next week's FNF!

- After an extended hiatus spent on the other side, Sekktor returned to action with a renewed vigor! Eager to show that he could still hang with the top dogs, he issued a challenge to none other than the Olympic Gold Medalist, Nephrite! This contest had everyone in The Great Arena on the edge of their seats, and in the end it was Sekktor pulling out a narrow victory! The loss doesn't hurt Nephrite much on its own, but this is the latest in a string of near misses for him. It'll be interesting to see who he faces next and if he can get back on the right side of the ledger.

- Jerrod & Killswitch entered this match having split a pair of encounters with MKRocket & blacksaibot and it would seem that a true rivalry is budding there. This week, they turned their attention to the best Duo in the KFL, BMK & Onryo! Oddsmakers would've given them a bit more than a puncher's chance in this fight, but a heroic effort allowed them to spring the upset in a comprehensive result! There may not be tangible title belts for teams in the KFL, but the win has to feel great for Jerrod & Killswitch nonetheless!

- It definitely wasn't the most impressive undefeated streak heading into this week's action, but Scott-Howell's 4-0 start to the year garnered praise from all over The Great Arena! Wanting to prove he belongs in the title picture, Ghostdragon challenged Howell to a match and scored big! Ghostdragon's aggression proved to be too much for Howell to handle, and the resulting +1 impact is sure to resonate with the entire KFL! This may have opened the door for a title match... stay tuned!

- The mysterious assailant threw yet another curveball at LordSkarlet last week, declaring that he needed to find a partner for tonight's festivities! When his efforts proved fruitless, it was none other than "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile who stepped up in his defense! They faced long odds against the powerful team of VenoMark and The_Purple_Bunny, but they didn't back down and I think that's what's important here. LordSkarlet will not rest until his attacker is brought to justice!

- After the match, a chill fell over The Great Arena! Combatants new and old were shocked when The United's Shoe appeared in the ring! Shoe promised everyone in The Great Arena that he was going to change the culture of the KFL and it starts next week!

- After picking up his eighth straight win to start 2014, 4avenger5 appeared ready as ever to claim the KFL's ultimate prize! The moment had finally arrived as he stepped into Y2K's yard in this week's championship confrontation! The Streak vs. Champion scenario had the standing room only crowd in a frenzy! 4avenger5 gave everything he had in this contest, but the champion was too strong and ended it with authority. A +6 impact ended the Cinderella run, but we haven't seen the last of 4avenger5, rest assured!
