So yeah...
The HOF thread (and the fact the older SFF threads no longer exist on here) got me thinking that the widest audience never saw how the SFF concluded and it's been like 12 years since it was posted on here...might be the perfect time to hit the reset button. So the deal here is: I've created some new guys, taken some from the old SFF continuity and decided this is a new starting point. There's no real specific reasoning for it, we're in the middle of a pandemic and I need something to do. The SFF's been a lot of things to me over the years, mostly a window into what kind of wrestling I was watching heavily but also an outlet for me to express what I wanted wrestling to be which I guess is what the point of this board is as a whole.
So here we go, again. Completely new timeline, no baggage from any of the sh*t that happened in any of the previous threads. Going for a completely new approach to it, hope you decide to tag along. Not like there's much else to do on the board right now anyway! |

Thanks guys.
Can probably get 2-4 more signups in before I really feel like the roster is bloated. Kinda exciting to be on the cusp of starting something new!

PWInsider - DAZN Adds Second Pro Wrestling Promotion to Evolving Porfolio of Combat Sports:
July 19, 2020
Today, combat sports streaming powerhouse DAZN announced a partnership with the SFF, which is a new startup organization headed by Jake Busey, son of legendary actor and crazyman Gary Busey. The promotion features no national names, but both parties agreed to a "mutually beneficial, multi-year deal" that will see the SFF produce regular specials for the streaming platform. Exact money terms weren't discussed but it's believed to be for significantly less than DAZN is giving Major League Wrestling, but for a promotion of this size literally any sort of payout for this kind of exposure is a victory. Busey said the product would be "more sports oriented, with an emphasis on win/loss records and none of the hokey showmanship that is exhibited on television today." Busey said they scouted the world for the best talent that nobody had heard of and said they found talent comparable to that of the major organizations. It was also revealed, through DAZN's partnership with Bellator, that legendary MMA commentator Mike Goldberg would be this promotion's lead play-by-play announcer, with Tyler Volz from the Chicago-area AAW serving as the color commentator.
The first special will air August 8th, and the card we were told would be announced imminently. We were told in a conference call with Busey that the card would feature matches that will directly set up the championship bouts on the second or third event, saying their top title would be an Openweight Championship and they would also have a Tag Team Championship. |

Very cool. Looking forward to this. Especially how some of the guys from the original may differ. The MMA vibe / records seem like an interesting concept. I remember doing an Evolve diary as part of a joint indy diary and booking all the original shows with records. I wonder how it works long term though.

8/8/20, "SFF on DAZN 1: The Beginning"
SFF Studios; Atlanta, GA
Before the preliminary card began, we were shown the upcoming schedule for SFF events on DAZN:
9/12/20, "SFF on DAZN 2"
10/31/20, "SFF on DAZN 3: Crowning a Champion"
11/21/20, "SFF on DAZN 4"
12/25/20, "SFF on DAZN 5: Black Christmas"
Mike Goldberg welcomed the viewers to the first SFF live on DAZN from the SFF Studios in Atlanta and thanked the viewing audience for taking the time during this global pandemic to join a new pro wrestling organization on its maiden voyage. Goldberg ran down the time limits for the matches, the preliminary matches having a 10 minute, the main card having a 15 minute, co-main event having a 20 minute time limit and all non-title main events having a 30. Goldberg also announced that SFF Championship bouts will have a 60 minute time limit. He then threw us to the Rules of the SFF.
| METHODS OF VICTORY | Pinfall
Submission
Countout
Disqualification
Referee Stoppage
Judge's Decision | | JUDGING CRITERIA | Based on:
Overall Control of the Match
Overall Damage Dealt/Received
Advantage at the Final Bell | | ILLEGAL HOLDS | Closed fists
Fish hooking
Eye gouging
Low blows
Using the ropes to offensive advantage
Not breaking on the referee's five count |
Goldberg mentions that wrestlers who do not break immediately on the count of five will be disqualified and possibly suspended from title contention or overall competition pending an investigation from the SFF's Championship Committee. He then welcomed in his partner for tonight, Lenny Leonard, who will be filling in for Tyler Volz for the forseeable future. Leonard says he's excited to be on the ground floor of something like the SFF, a new and fresh perspective on the sport of wrestling. Goldberg said that tonight would be the beginning of a new era for pro wrestling as a sport and said that there would be no post-fight interviews on any of these studio events due to social distancing concerns.
PRELIMINARY BOUT: NICK JACOBS (0-0) vs. CADEN THOMAS (0-0)
One thing about having the ten minute limit on the prelim matches, it creates a sense of urgency from both competitors. Leonard said that from the footage he'd seen during his research for the show, Thomas usually wrestles a slower, more technical and reserved style, but here he was immediately attempting submissions and trying to put Jacobs away. Jacobs did a good job of fighting the submissions off but it was clear if he didn't land a bomb, he might be sunk. Luckily for Jacobs, he landed a knee strike on a takedown attempt by Thomas, was able to get to an advantageous position on the ground and finish Thomas with a Muta lock.
PRELIMINARY BOUT: LUCAS SILVA (0-0) vs. YUHI TAKEDA (0-0)
This was an excellent grappling match, with the commentators noting Takeda as being a black belt in both judo and jujitsu and Silva actively training at Tenth Planet with Eddie Bravo. In front of a live crowd, this might have been lost because they did very little other than working for holds and trying to escape but it made for a very compelling match because both commentators played up how easily either guy could end the match off of a submission, or in Takeda's case, a throw into a submission. The finish was unique as Takeda managed to get an octopus hold from back side control, which is something I don't think I've ever seen done before. Silva tapped almost immediately and the two shook hands after the match. Leonard remarked that on a show where first impressions mean everything and an impressive victory could get you slotted in a title match, Takeda really made the most of the opportunity he got.
PRELIMINARY BOUT: PETER AND THEO ALEXANDER (both 0-0) vs. WINSTON SYKES (0-0) AND BRODY KNIGHT (0-0)
The Alexanders are a good tag team, full of interesting double team moves and, as Leonard noted, they have the advantage of having been a team their whole life as opposed to two wrestlers put together for tonight's show. Sykes has a lot of potential, he went toe-to-toe with both Alexanders and was the one to carry the offense for his team, though the match was very brief. The Sykes/Knight team had a good run of offense going towards the end of the match before Peter snatched Knight with a school boy to pick up the victory.
MAIN CARD: "IRON MAN" MASON (0-0) vs. MIKE FURY (0-0)
Well, we learned that the time limits are kind of irrelevant for MASON. He tore through Fury, giving Fury no offense and just chucking him around the ring with various suplexes and smashing through him with lariats. Goldberg commented that he hasn't seen anyone like Mason in his other line of work and speculated about Mason's chances if he were to try crossing over to MMA. That would potentially have to wait, as MASON solidified himself as one of the premier competitors in the singles division by dropping Fury with Disdain in just over two minutes. It's clear that MASON is going to be a big deal for this company.
MAIN CARD: IGOR TURGENEV (0-0) AND VICTOR IVANOV (0-0) vs. TYLER CAGE (0-0) AND TROY XANDER (0-0)
This was a very competitive match as you saw the giant Russian grapplers trying to contain two smaller and faster opponents, but those opponents couldn't run forever. Ivanov in particular seems to have a lot of untapped talent. He has good suplexes and looks like a video game character, he's probably someone who'd get over in front of a live crowd. Xander tried standing toe-to-toe with them, but didn't have much success and while Cage did manage to get the monsters off-balance with some aerial offense, he still had to deal with them once he came back down to the mat. Cage did hit a double stomp on Turgenev for a near fall and Xander followed up with his Absolute Zero finisher, but Turgenev kicked out again. Ivanov wound up finishing Cage off with a liontamer-esque submission.
MAIN CARD: JAKE RICHARDS (0-0) vs. LENNOX ALI (0-0)
This will go down as the first SFF bout to go to the judge's scorecards. The bout ran the 15:00 time limit and looked like it could have gone another 5, or even 10 if they were in the position to have that kind of time. Richards wrestled a smart match early on, trying to work at the legs of Ali to somewhat negate Ali having a significant reach atdvantage. As the match wore on, Ali picked up on Richards' strategy and started putting together offense based around stopping Richards from getting in. Late in the match, this broke down into a battle of attrition with both guys winging hard shots with Richards seemingly totally abandoning his strategy in an attempt to throw one last hail mary to put the bigger man down. With seventeen seconds left, Ali hit a lariat and the uranage but was unable to pin Richards as the time ran out. The judges unanimously scored the bout for Ali, a decision that Richards was clearly unhappy with.
CO-MAIN EVENT: DAZ (0-0) AND KID CARNAGE (0-0) vs. BRENDAN BURROWS (0-0) AND JUSTIN LUCK (0-0)
Obviously, due to the extended time limit this was the longest bout on the card to this point. Very fun, uptempo, high-flying match from four guys who really had standout performances here. Daz and Carnage, for two guys who'd never worked together before, showed tremendous tag team chemistry, linking together strings of offense that would get to five, even six moves long. Luck did a good job of getting beat up early on and made an early hot tag to Burrows, who was able to have a lot of success against both Daz and Carnage and even late in the match got a very close, very questionable near fall on Carnage with his Sweet Dreams finisher, which is a package piledriver. When Luck tagged back in, Daz and Carnage easily took back over and Daz pinned Luck with the Dazaster, which is a spinning brainbuster. Leonard and Goldberg agreed that the Russian team and Daz and Carnage made strong cases for being the teams in the bout to crown the inaugural champions.
MAIN EVENT: CHAZ CLASSIC (0-0) vs. JORDAN DEVINE (0-0)
It's a funny thing when you get a wrestling event that goes by this quickly now, every match was relatively short and the main event felt like a condensed version of the bloated 30+ minute matches you see elsewhere. The commentary noted that these two were part of the same wrestling school class and graduated at the same time. Leonard noted that Devine was the one who broke out of England first and with a victory here, Chaz could prove definitively who the better man was. They started off slow, with commentary noting they had 30 minutes to work with. Devine took advantage early, isolating the arm of Classic and dropping knees onto it repeatedly and working the arm with different submssions like the arm scissors and straight armbars. Classic's first big burst of offense came when he was able to throw Devine to the outside and the two brawled a bit around the outside area. It was noted that the referee does reserve the right to disqualify wrestlers who abuse the outside count by rolling in and out of the ring, but oddly that didn't happen here. Classic whipped Devine into the guard rail and hit a DDT on the floor outside the ring. Devine got back in at the count of 13, so it wasn't really a close call. Devine took back over after hitting a really great high jump dropkick on Classic and Devine nearly put Classic away with a second rope Unprettier type move, but Classic got his foot on the rope at the last second. Devine tried another move, but Classic countered out and hit a twisting neckbreaker and a reverse DDT for a near fall. They traded strikes late, with Classic getting the advantage off of a series of European uppercuts followed by his brainbuster for the finish.
As Classic celebrated in the ring, we were taken back to the commentators who put the show over as being a great start for the SFF. They plugged the 9/12 special, saying the card for that would be determined by SFF match makers and posted soon, and speculated that we might see a Chaz Classic vs. MASON title match but also entertained the idea of MASON vs. Takeda or even Classic vs. Takeda. Goldberg says he had fun doing his inaugural pro wrestling broadcast and that he couldn't wait to come back on September 12th before signing off from the SFF Studio in Atlanta.

Great job. Really good read. Maybe at the first couple of matches came across more MMA than wrestling, the later matches seemed to get the balance right. I really like how the time limits add to the action just getting straight into it, great idea. Some big characters starting to develop already, I'm all board the MASON train. I'm looking forward to how this develops down the line with the records.

You don’t need to listen to me applaud your revival of the SFF. I must say as somebody that missed a bulk, if not all of the original tenure of the SFF (which may I add spanned close to a thirty year universe), I’m looking forward to seeing what the reboot may see. For a guy concerned about how it all looks, I am overjoyed with how the layout looks here. It looks professional, it reads like a fight analysis website, and you are a natural with explaining the rules and giving a pro-sports presentation. Hopefully we see less judges decisions than the UFC, and hopefully less controversial title stripping clusterf*cks. You don’t need to hear it from me, but I really hope this has grounds to go on for quite a while moving forward.

(as always, credit to AJ for the logo) 9/12/20, "SFF on DAZN 2" SFF Studios; Atlanta, GA Following a massive first event live on DAZN, the SFF returns with an explosive card featuring several potential title eliminator bouts! Chaz Classic takes on Japanese prodigy Yuji Takeda, "Iron Man" MASON takes on Lennox Ali in a battle of the titans and Jake Richards looks to redeem what he claims was a fluke decision when he takes on Nick Jacobs! In the tag team division, the Alexanders take on Daz and Kid Carnage, while the Russian duo of Turgenev and Ivanov face off with Brendan Burrows and Justin Luck. Each of these bouts could potentially lead the winner, or winners, to the title bouts on SFF 3: Crowning a Champion on Halloween Night.
Elsewhere on the card, Sykes and Knight take on Cage and Xander, Caden Thomas looks to pick up his first win against Jordan Devine and Mike Fury takes on the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu prodigy Lucas Silva when the SFF returns to DAZN on September 12th!

9/12/20, "SFF on DAZN 2"
SFF Studios; Atlanta, GA
After a video recap of the inaugural SFF event, Mike Goldberg welcomes fans back to DAZN for the second SFF special where each match on the main card carries significant title implications because on the next event, we crown the first two champions. Goldberg introduces his partner, Lenny Leonard, as the two begin to run down tonight's loaded card headlined by the men who captured the two most impressive, standout victories from the first event squaring off as Chaz Classic takes on Yuhi Takeda. Goldberg mentions that Chaz had the longer of the two bouts on the first show, but Takeda spent his match against a high level grappler and may have accumulated more wear from that match and notes Takeda's training has been elevated for the bout. Leonard brings up the tag team co-main event, saying both teams looked impressive on the first show and says the Alexanders can put together equally impressive tag team offense to Daz and Carnage, but they still have a tough task ahead of them. Also previewed is the battle of the monsters between MASON and Lennox Ali. Goldberg says he doesn't expect this to go to a decision like Ali's first bout did, citing MASON's insanely quick finish of Mike Fury. Leonard says it's going to be nothing but fireworks and we could very well see one of the two spots in the inaugural Openweight Championship bout taken by one of these two monsters. Goldberg then throws it to the SFF's rules.

PRELIMINARY MATCH: WINSTON SYKES (0-1) AND BRODY KNIGHT (0-1) vs. TYLER CAGE (0-1) AND TROY XANDER (0-1)
This was an interesting opener between teams that ultimately fell short on the first card. Cage and Xander worked a bit smoother together here than they did on the first card and the Sykes/Knight team shows a lot of potential with how their offense blends into one another. Knight wrestles a lot like Cage in that both guys have flashier, faster-paced offense so you got a couple of the usual indie respect type sequences that lead to standoffs until the partners tagged in and began throwing strikes. Goldberg seemed to be really into the faster, more acrobatic stuff from Cage and Knight, praising the athleticism of the guys involved but saying it needed to lead to moves and situations that could end the match otherwise you're just doing a routine. Fair point, probably not the best wording for a live broadcast. They did the "everyone comes in and hits their move" thing before Sykes locked in the Bear Tooth (Anaconda Vice) on Xander to give his team the win.
PRELIMINARY MATCH: CADEN THOMAS (0-1) vs. JORDAN DEVINE (0-1)
This was a very fun match that stayed on the mat for a lot of the duration. They did about seven minutes of Zack Sabre Jr-esque hold exchanges and the commentators noted that a match like this, especially with the shortened time limit, is a dangerous game to play because you risk the judges not thinking you did enough to control the match overall. Once Devine was able to successfully counter out of a hold by Thomas, the match picked up in tempo but unfortunately the time limit expired about a minute and a half later after Devine hit a cross body block from the top rope which, in the end, was enough to give Devine the win because he'd ended the bout in an advantageous position. You could see visible unhappiness on Thomas' face after the match which Leonard speculated might have been disappointment with his performance and not doing enough to actually finish the bout within the time limit.
PRELIMINARY MATCH: MIKE FURY (0-1) vs. LUCAS SILVA (0-1)
Mike Fury was not a guy I thought would blend well in a match with Lucas Silva based on what we saw from Silva on the first show, but alas, Fury actually went to the mat with him and held his own for a bit. This wasn't a long match, going just shy of six minutes, but they did show what they could do in terms of grappling and then they started going for their big moves. It was pointed out on commentary that neither guy wanted to leave the match in the hands of the judges after what had just happened in the previous match. Fury stuffed a takedown and transitioned that into the Playmaker to pick up his first win. Silva refused a post-match handshake.
MAIN CARD: IGOR TURGENEV (1-0) AND VICTOR IVANOV (1-0) VS. BRENDAN BURROWS (0-1) AND JUSTIN LUCK (0-1)
The main card opened with a mauling, lasting just about as long as MASON's match on the first card. Turenev and Ivanov didn't let Burrows in the ring, they just suplexed and stretched Luck for two minutes before Turgenev finished him off with an F5 like move. This was an impressive showing by the Russians and the commentators basically said Turgenev and Ivanov would be one of the two teams in the title match on Halloween night.
MAIN CARD: JAKE RICHARDS (0-1) vs. NICK JACOBS (1-0)
Jake Richards did not want to go to the judges again. That's what we learned this week as he opened up on Nick Jacobs from the opening bell and these two went to war. The match went just over 8 minutes, but they spent most of that time just trying to put each other away with big move after big move, including Jacobs doing a suplex off the apron to the floor on Richards. Richards did crawl back in just before the 20 count and Jacobs dropped him with a brainbuster for a near fall. The one big problem for Jacobs in this match was he couldn't apply the Muta lock, because Richards continually powered out of it. Richards fired up late in the match, hit a spin kick to the midsection, a lariat and the tiger driver to get into the win column.
MAIN CARD: "IRON MAN" MASON (1-0) vs. LENNOX ALI (1-0)
As far as very short monster movie type matches are concerned, this one delivered. The two exchanged shoulder tackles before moving on to lariats and then just smashing each other in the face until MASON landed a nasty headbutt and put Ali away with DISDAIN in roughly three and a half minutes. This was not a pretty match, but it was brutal and violent. Goldberg remarked that whoever meets MASON in the Openweight title match had better not pack a lunch.
CO-MAIN EVENT: DAZ (1-0) AND KID CARNAGE (1-0) vs. PETER AND THEO ALEXANDER (BOTH 1-0)
We got a really good, state-of-the-art high spot match here, which played to both team's strengths. Peter and Theo have an almost Midnight Express flow to their matches in terms of how they weave in and out of tandem offense and isolate the other team, they're a lot of fun to watch. Carnage hit a tope suicida on Theo while Daz took Peter out with a tope con hilo and they took over from there on offense for a bit before Theo cut Carnage off with a high jumping spinning wheel kick. Theo almost got a pinfall on Carnage with his moonsault senton, but Daz broke the pin attempt at the absolute last second. Daz hit a double underhook facebuster on Theo and Carnage hit a 450 splash for a near fall before putting Theo away with the Yoshi Tonic, or Code Red, whichever you prefer. After the match and before the main event, Lenny Leonard confirmed that the title match on SFF three would be Daz and Carnage vs. Turgenev and Ivanov.
MAIN EVENT: CHAZ CLASSIC (1-0) vs. YUHI TAKEDA (1-0)
This didn't go quite as long as the main event on the first show, but this still had a lot of action courtesy of Takeda, who turned this into a BattlARTS esque match by luring Chaz into grappling exchanges early before blasting him with hard palm strikes and kicks later in the match. Of everything we've seen across both the first two shows, this seemed the most like a real fight, with the referee separating the wrestlers two separate times to check on Chaz Classic to see if he could still continue. There was a little blood over the right eye of Classic which was, upon replay, determined to be from glancing palm strike a few minutes into the bout. Takeda kept peppering Chaz with body shots and knees until Chaz fired back with a European uppercut and took control of the offense, putting Takeda away with a snap brainbuster just short of the 13:00 mark. Takeda shook Chaz's hand and bowed after the match, knowing he'd come close to finishing Chaz. MASON made his way to ringside, but was held off by security.
We go back to Goldberg and Leonard in their respective broadcast positions and Goldberg comments that we have two very interesting title bouts for the next card, citing that MASON has went a combined five minutes and twenty seven seconds, while Chaz has wrestled 31. Obviously a month and a half off will negate that somewhat, but it tells the tale of how the title match might go, and Leonard agrees saying he doesn't think anyone can stop MASON. Leonard says MASON's opening onslaught might be too much and if you can survive it, how much will you even have left? Goldberg also talks up a similar situation in the tag title match and Leonard agrees to an extent but also says Daz and Carnage can probably make enough movement around the giant Russians to be able to create a sizeable advantage. Goldberg says those two matches and a lot more come your way on Halloween night and says so long from the SFF Studios in Atlanta!

The SFF returns to DAZN on Halloween Night with the deciding bouts to crown our inaugural champions! In the main event, Chaz Classic takes on the only other unbeaten singles competitor in the SFF when he faces "Iron Man" MASON. MASON has had a total of just under six-minutes of in ring competition, while Chaz has had just over 30. Both men have been training hard for this bout, both men want to be the first SFF Openweight Champion but unfortunately, there can only be one. Can Chaz Classic stop the seemingly invincible "Iron Man"?
The Tag Team Championship will be decided as well as the Russian duo of Turgenev and Ivanov take on Daz and Kid Carnage. Turgenev and Ivanov have shown impressive strength and grappling skills, as well as a diverse array of suplexes. Daz and Kid Carnage have shown excellent teamwork, blending their speed, agility and high-impact offense seamlessly. Both teams have looked impressive in their initial outings in the SFF but as with the Openweight Championship, there will only be one team leaving this event undefeated.
The card will also feature several SFF debuts. First, we have Bret Andrews and Seth Vinyard making their promotional debuts against Brendan Burrows and Justin Luck in the first preliminary bout. Andrews was highly scouted out of high school, standing 6'3" and weighing 275 pounds. Vinyard has trained all over the world and with just a year of experience under his belt, is a definite blue chip prospect. AJ Travis, who was originally scheduled for the first SFF event, will face Caden Thomas who is desperately looking to get into the win column. Moses Khan makes his SFF debut taking on Yuhi Takeda, who's looking to rebound after a loss to Chaz Classic in a thrilling bout at the last SFF event on DAZN. Chase Maxim and Preston Michaels team up to take on Brody Knight and Winston Sykes and in the final debut on the card, Donovan Kyle teams with a top level singles competitor in Jake Richards to take on the Alexanders. Elsewhere on the card, we have a battle of 1-1 talents as Nick Jacobs takes on Mike Fury.
Also on this card, an explanation of the rankings to determine future challengers will be explained as well as interviews with the participants in the title bouts!

Big fan of the simple colour change over these shows. Maybe I would have done a tournament to determine the champions, but those on winning streaks by the time of the third show makes most sense, and also diffuses the top six guys from remaining unbeaten. Glad to see my guy MASON being a wrecking ball in the SFF Openweight division, curious how he fares against veteran Chaz Classic though. I think the aftermath of SFF 3 will be the turning point of this diary’s revival, and how we go forward from there.

I think overall the second show sounded more like a wrestling show rather than an MMA event which the first one did. I think it was pretty clear from the first show who the title contender were going to be but I expect some twists from now on. It's interesting how you book some of the original SFF names like Daz and Carnage and you have more debuting on the next show so sounds good. Feel free to use any of my SFF characters in this too, I think most of the would suit this style - Ashdown, Sinclair, Franco, Starke. May want to hold off adding anymore whilst you establish this starting roster. MASON is such a good character booked so far so wondering where you go from here given he's up for the title already. Also love that ironically he's called the Iron Man but has only wrestled 6 minutes.

Mike Goldberg is shown in the SFF studio and welcomes everyone to the third SFF event live on DAZN where tonight, we'll crown the first champions in both the SFF Openweight and Tag Team Divisions. Goldberg introduces his partner for the evening, Lenny Leonard, and the two break down the main events. Goldberg says it's hard to cheer against someone like MASON, who has a combined 5:36 of ring time going into this title fight, while Chaz racked up 31 minutes and despite the fact both men have had time to recover, the war with Takeda might have taken a toll on Classic. Leonard agrees but says we've never seen what happens when MASON is brought deep into the match, he's never even heard the five minute time call. Leonard speculates that Classic could have some success if he weathers the early storm.
Goldberg then turns his attention to the Tag Team Championship bout, saying it's virtually identical to the Openweight Title match in that regard. Leonard says Daz and Kid Carnage are able to put together some of the most impressive strings of tandem offense that he's ever seen, but you're talking about high-level Russian grapplers who were not pro wrestlers before signing with the SFF. SFF management recruited them directly from Russian to compete here after seeing video highlights of them. It took them a little time to fully understand the rules of tag team wrestling but they're as devastating a force as Leonard's ever seen. Goldberg then asks Leonard what the course of victory is for Daz and Carnage and Leonard simply says "survive".
Goldberg then throws it to the rules of the SFF, which are as follows.
| METHODS OF VICTORY | Pinfall
Submission
Countout
Disqualification
Referee Stoppage
Judge's Decision | | JUDGING CRITERIA |
Overall Control of the Match
Overall Damage Dealt/Received
Advantage at the Final Bell | | ILLEGAL HOLDS | Closed fists
Fish hooking
Eye gouging
Low blows
Using the ropes to offensive advantage
Not breaking on the referee's five count |
Goldberg also notes that, due to some of the more striking-heavy contests within the SFF, that rulemakers and matchmakers in the SFF have been closely eyeing knockouts also being a viable method of victory but for now, those are left to the referee's discretion. Goldberg also mentions that the SFF matchmakers have come up with the criteria for determining title challengers, which is as follows:
| SFF Openweight Championship | Overall win/loss record
Quality of competition
Current win/loss streak | | SFF Tag Team Championship | Overall win/loss record
Quality of competition
Time as a team
Current win/loss streak as a unit |
Goldberg said that once the SFF has more shows under its belt, the company may look into formal Top 5 rankings for each championship. Leonard remarks on the uniqueness of the criteria for determining challengers and speculates that, in the case of the tag team titles in particular, it may take a while to see worthy challengers emerge for the titles. Goldberg agrees, but also cites the generally high level of competition in the SFF based on the first two events on DAZN before throwing it to the ring announcer for the opening bout.
PRELIMINARY BOUT: BRET ANDREWS (0-0) AND SETH VINYARD (0-0) VS. BRENDAN BURROWS (0-2) AND JUSTIN LUCK (0-2)
Justin Luck has, to this point, had very bad luck. Tonight was no different, as he was isolated by Vinyard and Andrews and, for lack of better term, victimized. They relentlessly threw the smaller Luck around, Vinyard also hitting him with hard knees and putting him in various submission holds. This match did not go long, in fact it lasted just shy of five minutes, but in that time Luck's partner could do nothing but stand on the apron and watch. Andrews nearly beheaded Luck with a lariat for the finish. After the match, Burrows attacked Luck, blaming him for Burrows' now 0-3 record and declaring himself a singles wrestler.
PRELIMINARY BOUT: CADEN THOMAS (0-2) VS. AJ TRAVIS (0-0)
As far as mat wrestling matches go, this wasn't as good as Silva vs. Takeda from SFF 1, but this was still pretty damn smooth. The commentators noted that Thomas wasn't as passive in this match as he was in his previous bout, which lead to a decision loss to Jordan Devine. Travis hung with Thomas on the mat, which surprised both commentators, but never really appeared to be in control on the mat. Travis would attempt to escape, only to be locked up some other way by Thomas, only to repeat that cycle. Thomas submitted Travis with a cloverleaf to secure his first SFF victory. After the match, he walked over to the camera and declared he wanted the winner of Fury vs. Jacobs later tonight.
PRELIMINARY BOUT: YUHI TAKEDA (1-1) VS. MOSES KHAN (0-0)
This was a very short, very violent, very one-sided beating. Takeda clearly wanted to send a message to Chaz Classic and MASON, and he did so by blasting Khan in the face hard with palm strikes, knees and kicks. This was a very brutal match, it felt like watching someone spar with an experienced kickboxer on their first day in the gym. Khan ate a nasty body kick, two knees to the face and a brutal upward palm strike before hitting the mat with his face pouring blood. The referee called the doctor into the ring to examine Khan and called the bout off due to excessive bleeding and injury. Leonard said the bout may officially have been ruled a ref stoppage, this was clearly a KO/TKO victory for Takeda.
MAIN CARD: WINSTON SYKES (1-1) AND BRODY KNIGHT (1-1) VS. CHASE MAXIM (0-0) AND PRESTON MICHAELS (0-0)
Sykes and Knight got themselves back into the win column, which isn't surprising given how much they're improving every time out. Chase Maxim had a standout performance and it's clear that he's going to be a star either in this team or on his own, but he didn't have what it took to overcome the more experienced tag wrestlers. Knight can do some very athletic springboard moves but as Leonard said, he's going to need to develop some high impact offense to be successful long term. Thankfully, Sykes supplied that for his team in spades, taking the fight to Maxim and Michaels. Maxim did get a near fall on Knight with a Low-Down type move and Michaels was setting up for what I believe commentary said was a Pedigree on Sykes when Knight leveled Michaels with a superkick for the finish.
MAIN CARD: NICK JACOBS (1-1) VS. MIKE FURY (1-1)
There's been at least one decision on every SFF card so far, but neither of the previous ones were as controversial as this one. This was a very even back-and-forth match, with Fury decidedly controlling the middle portion of the match with the first and last thirds of the bout being heavily back-and-forth with strike exchanges and big moves being landed. Goldberg noted at the 10:00 time call that he'd hate to be a judge for this particular contest because of how close it had been. With two minutes left, both men began exchanging suplexes and big moves until the very end of the match, where Nick Jacobs hit a package piledriver on Fury with 14 seconds left but could not secure a pinfall attempt. The judges scored the bout 2-1 for Fury, which lead to Leonard asking how much clearer of an advantage Jacobs could have had at the conclusion of the bout. Jacobs refused to shake Fury's hand and said he wanted a rematch.
MAIN CARD: PETER AND THEO ALEXANDER (BOTH 1-1) VS. DONOVAN KYLE (0-0) AND JAKE RICHARDS (1-1)
The story of this match was that the Alexanders had a leg up on the admittedly makeshift team of Richards and Kyle. Kyle seems like someone who has a lot of upside, he has good fundamentals but couldn't really get anything going against the Alexanders. Goldberg questioned on commentary why Jake Richards would agree to take a tag team match as opposed to resting up and taking a singles match on the November card and Leonard said Richards was likely attempting to get his feet wet in both contenders' pools. The Alexanders do a lot of flashy double team offense, reminiscent in some ways of the Rock 'n Roll Express. Richards wasn't in the ring much, as the Alexanders isolated the SFF debutant Kyle and Peter finished Kyle with the Olympic slam in 11 minutes, 20 seconds.
SFF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: DAZ (2-0) AND KID CARNAGE (2-0) VS. IGOR TURGENEV (2-0) AND VICTOR IVANOV (2-0)
As most might expect, this was a longer match at just under 19 minutes. The Russian team looked great here, dominating the first half of the match, providing minimal air or opportunity for Daz and Carnage to create an opening to start running through their tandem offense. The Russians made liberal use of the 5 count, breaking at four before reapplying whatever hold they had on Daz or Carnage. Leonard said some could argue this is dirty wrestling but it is well within the rules. The first burst of offense came from a Kid Carnage tag, which saw Daz fly in with a missile dropkick on Turnegev. Daz and Carnage ran through an impressive drop toe hold, knee drop, lionsault, standing shooting star, springboard double knee drop sequence for a near fall on Ivanov. Ivanov attempted a top rope double arm suplex late in the match, which Kid Carnage ended by dropkicking Ivanov's leg, allowing Daz to hit a tree of woe double stomp. Carnage followed up with the Yoshi Tonic to give his team the victory and crown them the first ever SFF Tag Team Champions. After the match, the champions were presented with the belts and two trophies which really gave this the feel of a big title match from Japan in the 90s and 2000s.
SFF OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: CHAZ CLASSIC (2-0) VS. "IRON MAN" MASON (2-0)
This match goes down as the longest bout in SFF history. It's apparent that Chaz heard what the commentators said earlier in the night about survivng the onslaught and dragging MASON into the deep water, because that's exactly what he did in this match. MASON bullrushed Classic early, trying to put the Englishman down, but Classic evaded and countered, opting to try to lock MASON into a hold and make the "Iron Man" expend energy. The strategy paid off almost immediately, as it was abundantly clear MASON was breathing heavier by the 5 and 6 minute mark of the match, which is when Chaz began to pick apart MASON's legs. Some credit, however, is due to the monstrous "Iron Man". MASON refused to give up early in the match when Chaz locked him in a figure four, struggling for nearly three minutes on the mat before reaching the ropes. MASON did mount some offense throughout the match, but due to exhaustion and the damage done to his legs, he wasn't able to properly capitalize on any of it. The commentators noted that MASON was hitting Classic hard but had to stop after every big strike thrown or big move attempted because of how much damage had been done. Chaz also implemented the ring post into his offense, slamming MASON's leg into the posts several times throughout the match. Chaz set up the finish with a missile dropkick before locking on the figure four to become the inaugural SFF Openweight Champion.
As with the tag team titles, they did a big presentation with Chaz getting a trophy in addition to the belt. This really felt like something you'd have seen in Japan 20 years ago. Chaz did a promo, saying he knew nobody thought he could last five minutes with the monster but technique and strategy will always beat brute force. Chaz says he doesn't know who his first challenger will be, or when that match will take place, but he doesn't want to go back into a training camp right away and he would be targeting early next year, if not Black Christmas, for his next bout. It was the kind of post-match promo you want from a guy they're clearly building to be the ace of the company.
We then went back to Goldberg and Leonard, who mentioned that Chaz had a brilliant strategy tonight, but not all challengers would be as cut and dry. Goldberg speculated that with another win or two, Takeda could easily become a top ranked challenger but also mentioned Mike Fury, who also improved to 2-1 tonight. Leonard said it might be ideal to run tournaments to determine the first contenders since right now, nobody is in position to be in a title eliminator bout. Leonard said Caden Thomas is 1-2 right now, but if he could string together a few wins and get to the main card, he could be a real threat to Classic. Goldberg agrees, and shifts focus to the Tag Team titles, saying that Sykes and Knight and the Alexanders have set themselves up well, but the Alexanders already have a loss to Daz and Carnage. Leonard says that it might not matter if they continue winning and also said it's wise to keep focus on the Russians, who could easily get back into contention with a win, or the Andrews/Vinyard team. Goldberg remarks that it is certainly an exciting time to be on the ground floor for the SFF and thanks everyone for tuning in and reminds them to tune back in on November 21st for SFF 4!
