GS122 Leaderboard Update

[The scene fades in to show John Squires standing infront of the Leaderboard. He's got an empty ordered list on it, with 10 spots, but the names are hidden.]

John Squires – John Squires here with your Wrestling Midwest Leaderboard Update. With just one week left until Party in the Plaza, we saw a lot of great things at Graveyard Shift 122. And… some not so great things. But, that’s what we’re here for. We’re here to give you the Leaderboard Update.

[He takes a look at the Leaderboard, and then back at the monitor with a smile.]

John Squires – This is the Leaderboard Top 10.

[The camera focuses in to show the 10th spot. Squires starts to pull the first strip of paper out to reveal the first name. He turns back to the camera.]

John Squires – For weeks, we’ve been talking about what Sault St. Marie has been doing to some people. We saw the likes of Kronin and Valora pushed off of the Leaderboard. Well, this week, we started to see who was really benefiting from this. At #10, it’s Ryven. He knocked both Kronin and Father Nathan from the top 10. All though he competed in a dark match this week, we saw that his plans are much bigger than a title match. And, wow, the match that is now booked for PitP10? Valora vs. Ryven, loser goes home. Crazy stipulations for a real crazy situation.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – Coming in at number 9, we find Shawn Cortez. Shawn Cortez has put himself on the map these last two weeks, putting himself, a rookie, in the Top 10 list. That isn’t something that happens every day, especially going into the last week of the Supercard session. Unfortunately for Cortez, though, he could not keep the momentum going. Lost a shot at the Shoot Champion. But, maybe that’s a good thing. He also dropped a spot in the Leaderboard.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – And, we see another big name at number 8. And that’s Eric Dillinger. He dropped 2 spots from last week, but really, you’ve got to look at him as someone who seems to be both hurting and helped by Sault St. Marie’s new kick. He’s had a lot of mic time this week and is slowly, but surely, making a real name for himself in that ring. He faces Umbrage, and a plate case match? This has epic written all over it.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – At number 7, it’s Amariie. She has been MIA ever since she won the Heartlands title shot. But, hey, why compete when you can rest up. She already earned the shot, so why risk it to injury. Smart move. Let’s see how she does against Gras-Dawg. No more waiting.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – At number 6, and just shot out of nowhere, is the Great Lakes Champion, Druscilla. With the help of her partner AWS Man at GS122, she cruised right into the middle of the pack. But, that’s why she’s our Champion. When she needs to, she’ll make herself noticed.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – At number 5, we have Black Friar. Friar, who seems to be looking over his shoulders the last few weeks, ever since he was attacked by Arick Wills. But, he answered the challenge, and another one, in fact, as we will see Friar take on Thomas Kilik and Arick Wills. Should be a good one.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – Coming in at number 4, it’s AWS Man (also known as Bill). As we talked about before, he and Druscilla defeated Kronin and Adam Pyre. And, really set the tone going into Party in the Plaza. AWS Man (also known as Bill) did what he needed to to make sure he was right at Druscilla’s side. And each one of these guys has a lot on the line. Whoo.

[He looks back at the board, then back to the camera. A drumroll sounder begins.]

John Squires – And now, for your top 3.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – In 3rd place, he is your Heartlands Champion, Gras-Dawg! Gras-Dawg, has been hanging around the top 3 for the last few weeks. Really keeping the spotlight on him, even when he doesn’t compete. He’ll make his first Supercard title defense this week against Amariie.

[He turns back to the board and reveals another name.]

John Squires – And for the top 2, probably the surprise story of June, Hecate jumped 5 spots up to almost overtake the top spot. To date, that’s probably one of the biggest jumps we’ve seen here on the Leaderboard. You can assume that Sault St. Marie is getting a bit uneasy about how big of a threat Hecate is turning up to be for him.

[He turns back to the board and reveals the final name.]

John Squires – But, that leads us to your Fighter of the Month, your #1 on the Leaderboard, for two weeks in a row no less, your Shoot Champion. Jade. After Jade lost the Great Lakes Championship, many looked at her as down and out. But she has bounced back in a strong way. She’s your Leaderboard Update Fighter of the Month. Congratulations. But now, it’s time for Party in the Plaza 2010. We begin our new session next week.

[He takes a look at the board and nods. He turns back to the camera with a smile.]

John Squires – This has been your Leaderboard Update. I’m John Squires. We’ll see you next week.
