Before we begin… Happy 73rd Birthday Harrison Ford!

Back in April we had our "Matt Hardy's Not Getting Draft" Fantasy Draft. We went ten rounds on the air, and picked 30 of the best and brightest talents in the WWE, TNA, ROH, NJPW, and beyond. We each picked a ring announcer, a broadcast team, and a senior official, so as to give our rosters added depth. Well today Matt S and I are picking up where we left off, to see who has the strongest team three months later. Here's a quick look at our rosters—let us know who you think is doing the best.

Warning: Gary did not understand the assignment.

"PG" Matt S wanted a roster comprised of wrestlers doing what they do best—wrestle. But he also wanted to cast some of the best talkers in the business as well! We were all given the chance to pick our home venue, and Matt S picked one of the largest, most recognizable stadiums in the world. Not only that, but he's the only person who picked an actual referee instead of a one-time guest referee.

Curtain Call Wrestling
Owned and Operated by "PG" Matt S
Based at AT&T Stadium
Broadcast Team: JBL and Matt Striker
Ring Announcer: Justin Roberts
Senior Official: Mike Chioda

1 ^st Round – Shawn Michaels
2 ^nd Round – Daniel Bryan
3 ^rd Round – Paige
4 ^th Round – Brock Lesnar
5 ^th Round – Dolph Ziggler
6 ^th Round – Enzo Amore & Big Cass
7 ^th Round – Charlotte
8 ^th Round – CM Punk
9 ^th Round – Bray Wyatt
10 ^th Round – The Miz

I named my company S.C.R.E.W., because goofy names seem to be all the rage on the indie scene. My promotion is based in Southern California, and features the most non- WWE Superstars out of the three rosters. I feel like I took this shit too seriously.

SoCal Rumble: Entertainment & Wrestling
Owned and Operated by Mark Adam Haggerty
Based at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay and Jerry Lawler
Ring Announcer: Tony Chimel
Senior Official: Val Venis [All referees must wear striped towels]

1 ^st Round – AJ Styles
2 ^nd Round – Shinsuke Nakamura
3 ^rd Round – Finn Balor
4 ^th Round – reDRagon
5 ^th Round – Angelina Love
6 ^th Round – Bayley
7 ^th Round – Ethan Carter III
8 ^th Round – Austin Aries
9 ^th Round – Sami Zayn
10 ^th Round – Kurt Angle

Okay so Gary went a different direction than everybody else. Instead of assembling a roster of wrestlers, he decided to cast a G.I. Joe style Saturday Morning cartoon. It features the ongoing battles between the heroic FACE FORCE , and the diabolical H.E.E.L. I'm not sure how he plans to implement his broadcast team, or ring announcer, but his referee is on point. In addition to Gary's picks, I've added a brief description of how he plans to cast them on his show.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
"American Wrestling Entertainment Stars OR Military Experts"
Owned and Operated by Gary Mastriano

The world of professional wrestling is littered with gimmick matches—some of them are amazingly awesome, and others are terribly tragic. Then there are those that lie somewhere in the middle, on an almost Limbo-like plain, where they remain completely dependent on the wrestlers in the match. Casket Matches, TLC's, Royal Rumbles—all enjoyable contests when the right participants are involved. The Hell in a Cell is one example of a gimmick that works with Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, Triple H—but not so much with Ryback, Vince McMahon, or the Big Show. In 2004, Jeff Jarrett introduced a concept to Total Nonstop Action that would turn the standard ladder match on its head—quite literally. It was called the "King of the Mountain," which just so happened to be Jeff's self-bestowed moniker as champion and promotor of TNA Wrestling.

The King of the Mountain features a total of five individuals, all vying for a championship—or chance for a championship. The title belt or token object is readily available at ringside; the first man to climb the ladder and hang the object in question is the "King of the Mountain," and wins the match. But there's more to it than that. In order to qualify to climb the ladder, each wrestler must secure a fall over one of his opponents. This is most commonly accomplished via pinfall, but a submission works just the same. Once "Wrestler A" pins "Wrestler B," Wrestler A is allowed to climb the ladder, while Wrestler B must spend a predetermined amount of time in the penalty box. The box can fill up pretty quickly, too. On more than one occasion, the penalty box has been nearly as dangerous—if not more so—than the six-sided ring.

There have been EIGHT King of the Mountain Matches since the debut of the original concept in 2004, and tonight's Slammiversary XIII will be the ninth. In fact, with the exception of just two �Mountain Matches, each one of this eclectic contests have been featured at TNA Slammiversary. My name is Mark Adam Haggerty, and I'm here to take you through a brief rundown of King of the Mountain Matches. Enjoy videos of each and every King of the Mountain Match, courtesy of YouTube, DailyMotion, and the fine people at TNA Wrestling.

If Jeff Jarrett wins tonight's King of the Mountain match, he will break his tie with Kurt Angle and hold the official record for most victories atop the TNA ladder. Will TNA allow an outside entity capture an inaugural championship in their company? TNA Slammiversary XIII is only three hours away, so we will know in just a few hours.

Welcome back everybody to the once-weekly recap of Ring of Honor wrestling, now available on Destination America! This was the first time I was afforded the chance to watch Ring of Honor in crystal clear HD, as I finally live somewhere in which Destination America is available! This was an absolutely incredible show, complete with darn-near five star matches from some of the best performers in the world. If you've been down on the debut of ROH on Destination America, then this is a must-see show.

The opening contest tonight features the number one contender to Jay Lethal's ROH World Title, Roderick Strong, as he goes into action against another STRONG— the "King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura. One of my absolute best friends in the world is a dude by the name of Matt Sloyan. For those of you that listen to my podcast, he's a dude you might better know as "PG" Matt S. This was the first time Matt ever had the chance to check out Ring of Honor, and this is his first match. Does it get any better? Roddy is the first to enter the arena, followed by the insanely flamboyant Nakamura. The fans chant for the former IWGP Intercontinental Champion and adorn him with colored streamers. This match kicks off with a stiff tie-up and Roddy Strong takes advantage from the early going. Roderick's ground game is on point, as he manipulates the Japanese star's arm, leading him around the ring. Nakamura is just about four inches taller than Strong, and outweighs him by just about fifteen pounds. Roddy continues to work his ground-game, keeping Shinsuke stranded on the canvas, and unable to achieve any offense. Things take a turn however as this bout is taken to the arena floor. Nakamura uses a litany of high knees and aggressive kicks to knock the former ROH champion off his balance. It's time for a quick commercial break and once we return, Shinsuke Nakamura is proving why he is the undisputed "King of Strong Style." Hard forearms and elbows drill into Strong's face, but the 15-year veteran Roddy won't give up without a fight. Strong hits him with a combination of running knees and clotheslines, and finishing the combination with a modified backstabber. Roderick tries for his patented "Strong Hold," but Nakamura counters with a sleeper hold. Roddy hits Shinsuke with a high knee on the top rope and Nakamura is crotched on the top rope. Roddy climbs to the second rope and hits his opponent with a sidewalk slam on the top turnbuckle. Back and forth, this match is absolutely bonkers with both individuals gaining the advantage, and then losing it moments later. Shinsuke hits a hard knee, but Roddy comes back with another double-knee attack of his own. Strong locks Nakamura in the "Strong Hold," but can only maintain it for a mere moment until Nakamura reached the ropes. They begin to exchange hard right hands in the center of the ring; both men are groggy and struggling to stand. Roddy ducks beneath Nakamura's attack and hits a vicious "Sick Kick," for a near fall. The fans at the Tedreeve Arena chant for both the former IWGP IC Champion and the ROH Triple Crown Winner. "This is awesome," rains down from the rooftop as Nakamura hits Roddy Strong with an incredibly stiff superkick that extended across Roddy's face. Your winner is the FUTURE IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, the "King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura!

Up next is another cross-promotional battle between NJPW's head booker, Gedo, and the former ROH champion, "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin. Elgin is wearing a very cool robe comprised of red, black and silver. This is a quick contest featuring two somewhat unknown entities to the mainstream wrestling audience. I revert to my buddy who saw ROH for the first time tonight, and his reaction to Michael Elgin was: "His music is boring." But it's hard to fault Elgin for his in-ring style. Elgin is giving up quite an experience edge to the wily Gedo, but it's not enough to silence the psychotic Elgin. He hits Gedo with a big brainbuster and maintains control for the majority of the bout from there. He sends Gedo spiraling into the corner with the "Buckle Bomb," and finishes the sequence with a sit-down powerbomb. Michael Elgin is your winner.

Tonight's main event is a trios contest between two warring factions. On one side is the boisterous Bullet Club, made up of The Young Bucks and the current IWGP World Champion AJ Styles. Their opponents are the former IWGP champion Kazuchika Okada, and the tag team tandem of Berretta and Rocky Romero. The numbers definitely favor the Bullet Club, as they enter the arena with the former IWGP tag team champions, and fellow "Bullet Brothers," Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. This is a fun match right out of the gate with an enormity of high spots, without sacrificing selling or psychology. I feel as though the word "polarizing" is used far too often in professional wrestling. Yes, we get it—not everybody likes John Cena. But the Young Bucks are one such team who can be called polarizing, without any additional hyperbole. Newcomers such as "PG" Matt S see the Bucks, and immediately think: "Wait—so are they just a Shawn Michaels rip off?" Well, short answer: "Yes with an if"; long answer: "No, with a but." I stole that line from Reverend Lovejoy on the Simpsons. The Bucks and other members of the Bullet Club most certainly use mannerisms otherwise associated with HBK and his Kliq, but more so as an homage than anything else. It's really hard to keep track of the action in this bout, as five of the six participants are among the most lightning quick performers in the world. Even Okada—the odd man out in terms of speed—is a rapid fire type individual who comes within a Frog's Hair of the "Rainmaker" within seconds of the bell. Rocky Romero is perhaps the most underrated wrestler in this match, but that's not to say he isn't a highly respected "Sports Entertainer." Rocky might not have the international name recognition as his contemporaries, but he has no issue in hanging with them throughout the match. Trent Beretta is also a very talented individual, who I remember loving as part of the "Dude Busters" during his WWE run. An absolutely incredible match from start to finish, ending with a series of amazing spots! The Young Bucks hit Trent Beretta with not one, but two Meltzer Drivers, followed by a Styles Clash con Superkick from the combined forces of The Young Bucks and AJ Styles. Following the match, AJ and the Bucks posed for the fans, while Okada stood by in defeat.

The B+ Players Podcast – April 20th 2015

This week the B+ Players are joined by "Outsider's Edge" host Dario Rivera for the FIRST ANNUAL "Matt Hardy's Not Getting Drafted" FANTASY DRAFT. All four individuals have a chance to build their own promotions complete with broadcasters, referees, title belts, and TEN rounds of Superstar Selections.

Host Mark Adam Haggerty's Southern California �Rasslin' Federation known as S.C.R.E.W. went with AJ Styles in the first round. "PG" Matt Sloyan opted for a promo-heavy promotion called Curtain Call Wrestling, and went with Shawn Michaels as his first draft pick. Dario Rivera's New Age Wrestling is an action-packed, youth-oriented company—Dario received the very first draft pick and went with the 15-time WWE Champion, John Cena. And lastly, Gary Mastriano abandoned all semblance of sanity and created A.W.E.S.O.M.E., which is more of a Saturday Morning cartoon than a wrestling promotion, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

What other 36 Superstars did the guys select, and more importantly—who went unchosen altogether? Join the "B+ Players" for another fun-filled program that doesn't take anything too seriously. Please like us on Facebook at "The B+ Players," and share our show with your friends in Social Media. We post two shows a week including the Sunday news program the "Outsider's Edge with Dario Rivera," and look forward to adding new content to our Network as time goes on.

B+ Player Podcast "Matt Hardys Not Getting Drafted" Draft

Next week will be our Extreme Rules reaction show featuring very special guests from Cheap-Heat.com, and the following week will be a no holds barred discussion about pro wrestling in 1997 with the very funny comedian Patrick Bean.

Honorable Mention
ROH TV 2/14/15
Written by Mark Adam Haggerty

Love is in the air, everywhere you look around! It's Valentine's Day at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia and Ring of Honor is back in action with another star-studded hour of power, just two weeks away from the Thirteenth Anniversary Show in Las Vegas. I'll be heading out to Sin City, as it's just a quick car ride out of Southern California, and I'll be looking forward to shooting some dice with the Young Bucks and perhaps having an appletini or two if Chris Daniels is around. This week's episode of ROH TV helped further establish the rivalries going into their biggest show of the year so far. What was the match of the night and what could we have done without seeing? Let's waste no time and get right into the thick of things with our commentators Kevin Kelly, Steve Corino, and very special guest ROH world heavyweight champion Jay Briscoe.

The show begins as Ring of Honor world champion Jay Briscoe makes his way to ringside, getting set to join the usual duo of Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino on commentary. Tonight's episode of Ring of Honor TV will include four bouts, three of which feature participants in the upcoming four-way championship match in Las Vegas. Jimmy Jacobs is set to go one-on-one with the "Sicilian Psychopath" Tommaso Ciampa. Jacobs has been making waves in recent weeks, scouting the Top Prospect Tournament in search of the Decade's newest "young boy." The match is off to a rough start for the "Zombie Princess," as Ciampa quickly resorts to his signature blend of striking offense. Announcers at ringside made mention that Jacobs has just as much fight as anyone, despite weighing-in at just 185 pounds. The onslaught of lariats and running knee-strikes took its toll on both Jacobs and the Philadelphia audience; the fans inside the 2300 Arena were silent during the unnecessary roughness of Ciampa, except for one man who yelled, "What a maneuver!" Ciampa obliterated Jimmy Jacobs in less than five minutes, leaving the Decade member broken on the outside of the ring. The official opted to forgo a count, and declared Ciampa the winner. This breathtaking display by the �Psychopath left the champion speechless. He stood to face Ciampa, sizing up what could be his most violent competition at the Anniversary Show in two weeks.

Before ROH hit the air I knew we'd be getting a dose of The Romantic Touch—it is Valentine's Day, after all! �Touch enters the arena with a heart-shaped box of chocolates and two beautiful ladies hanging on each of his arms. As he struts to the ring, Kelly and Corino question whether the champ has enough time for romance when preparing to defend his title in two weeks. Jay Briscoe says, "Well, we've been married for seven years…" Steve Corino immediately cuts him off, "Oh don't tell me the romance is all gone!" But Jay was quick on his feet, joking back, "Oh shoot no, I'm just tryin' not to have another kid!" The Romantic Touch has a prerecorded promo wherein he warns viewers at home to treat their ladies well, otherwise he's prepared to do so. His opponent tonight however, is a little less loving than �Touch might have hoped. This is the second exhibition featuring the three number one contenders to Jay Briscoe's world title, and this time it's "Warbeard" Hanson. The impressive Hanson stands at 6'2" and weighs in at 275 pounds—not a massive individual by "New York" standards, but a menacing force inside the Ring of Honor locker room. The Romantic Touch and "Warbeard" Hanson meet to engage in the "Code of Conduct," where �Touch offers Hanson a chocolate. Hanson responds with a disastrous kick, dubbed the "Spin Kick of Doom." Hanson defeated the Romantic Touch in less than thirty seconds, and even ate one of the chocolates when he was through. After the match, Hanson met eye-to-eye with Briscoe, just the same as Ciampa before him. Hanson shouted, "Look what I did," in reference to laying out his opponent. Jay responded in kind, letting Hanson know that he "ain't no Romantic Touch."

The third and final bout featuring challengers for Jay Briscoes coveted belt pits the undefeated Moose against the former Ring of Honor world heavyweight champion Michael Elgin. Moose is escorted to the ring, per usual, by Veda Scott and Stokley Hathaway. Since defeating R.D. Evans at Final Battle in December, Moose has established the "New Streak" in Ring of Honor, and will put it on the line tonight in his greatest test to-date. Elgin enters to a chorus of boos, but doesn't allow the Philadelphia fans to breach his skin as he prepares to dismantle Moose. Both men adhere to the code of conduct before quickly engaging in battle. Elgin takes advantage of the former Atlanta Falcon within the opening seconds, lifting him into a brain buster position, and holding him there for over 10-seconds before driving him into the mat. But Moose was back up just as quick as Elgin, ready to continue with a dropkick, sending the former champion barreling to the outside. This match is already more competitive than both previous bouts on the card, which makes sense; aside from Jay Briscoe, Michael Elgin is certainly the odds-on-favorite heading into Las Vegas. Michael Elgin returns to the ring and dodges a clothesline, returning with a big boot of his own. Elgin pumped his arm, mocking the choreographed way in which Moose and his entourage enter the arena. The former champion climbed the ropes, but was distracted by Veda Scott. Elgin fought her away and cartwheeled off the turnbuckle and away from and imposing Moose. He proceeded to deliver a devastating powerbomb, and then lifted the 300 pound athlete from the canvas, into the air, for another grueling power bomb. A near-three count and the contest continues with both men reeling against the ropes. Moose then shoved Elgin through the ropes and to the outside where he was face-to-face with Jay Briscoe. Just the same as Ciampa and Hanson, Elgin stared into the eyes of the champion, but unlike the �Psychopath and "Warbeard, Michael Elgin pushed Jay Briscoe back and over his chair. Briscoe wasn't going to stand for such disrespect and immediately charged the ring where he was caught in the line of fire between Elgin and a Spear by Moose. The referee called for the bell and before long all four combatants in the Thirteenth Anniversary main event were warring inside the squared-circle, with a great deal of focus placed on the reigning world champion. Luckily Jay Briscoe was saved by his brother Mark who engaged all-comers before being put down by Moose's spine-shattering Spear.

It's time for the main event at the 2300 Arena—a trios match with Ring of Honor babyfaces squaring off against Bullet Club villains. ACH, Matt Sydal and Cedric Alexander are the first team introduced, and although all three men are among the most-over in ROH, their popularity pales in comparison to their opponents. The Bullet Club coming to America and performing on Ring of Honor TV is akin to British rock bands touring America or the Harlem Globe Trotters playing in North Korea. The Young Bucks enter first wearing black pants with fringe complete with a Bullet Club logo on the side. Just before they make it to the ringside area, the lights go down and the music slowly begins. It's as if a spiritual leader of some sort has just entered this holiest of hallowed halls; the audience is almost completely silent until AJ Styles makes his dramatic appearance. They chant, "AJ, AJ, AJ," as both Styles and the Bucks cruise into the ring amidst a sea of colored streamers. All six wrestlers shake hands before returning to their respective corners and this match is underway. It's interesting to note, as this was filmed several weeks ago, AJ is without the IWGP championship title belt. AJ, of course, won the IWGP world heavyweight championship from Hiroshi Tanahashi just this past week in Japan. The �Bucks begin by each taking turns on Matt Sydal who soon trades out to his former tag team partner ACH. The Bucks work like a well-oiled machine, working their opponents down to the mat in whatever way possible. When AJ tags into the contest he is met with immediate praise from the live audience, and sets to work attacking ACH just the same as his fellow Bullet Club members. The show goes to a commercial and when we return ACH and AJ Styles are standing in the center of the ring trading knife-edge chops with deadly precision. Nick Jackson tagged back in, hitting ACH with his patented blend of Young Bucks chicanery, poking the decorated superstar in the eyes and "too sweeting" his tag team partners in the corner.

The action heats up with all six combatants seeking to get involved at the same time. Sydal finds himself alone inside the ring with the Bullet Club, who triple team the former WWE tag team champion, before Matt Jackson takes the lead, continuing to take the fight to "Reborn" Matt Sydal. The quick tags from the Bullet Club work to their advantage as one-by-one AJ and the Bucks trade shots on their opponent, isolating him from his partners. After managing to reach his corner, the contest works toward the favor of the ROH wrestlers. Cedric Alexander takes to the skies, performing an exhilarating splash, followed by "two-out-of-three Amigos." Nick Jackson countered and proceeded to superkick ACH, who was standing on the outside, from the apron. He spring-boarded into the ring where he face-busted Cedric Alexander, only to slide back out of the ring and hit ACH once more, this time with a Tornado-DDT. Not to be outdone by his brother, Matt Jackson joined the action with a misguided Swanton bomb, crash-landing on the knees of Cedric Alexander. Cedric lifted Matt Jackson up into a powerbomb predicament, complimented by a jumping knee smash courtesy of Matt Sydal. Sydal then went toe-to-toe with AJ Styles in a battle of rights-and-lefts until he was taken off his feet by a superkick from Matt Jackson. Nick and Matt Jackson were ready to deliver superkicks to whomever may ask for one, but were caught off guard with the equally-quick superkick-game of ACH. AJ attempted a 450-splash but to no avail, once again countered by the educated knees of Cedric Alexander. This time ACH would be the one going for a 450, landing expertly on Styles. Matt Sydal would hope to follow-up with his own high-risk maneuver, the Shooting Star Press. As Sydal leapt from the top turnbuckle, he was forced to make an emergency landing on his feet, met almost immediately by duel superkicks. Nick and Matt then proceeded to superkick ACH and Cedric Alexander out of contention. The end would come for Matt Sydal as the trio put him through a combination of the "Meltzer-Driver," a hanging upside down double superkick, followed by a "Styles Clash" for the 1-2-3. Your winners are the Bullet Club.

This was an excellent edition of ROH TV, which believe it or not, I'm almost getting sick of saying each week! Ring of Honor delivers at least three—in some cases FOUR highly athletic wrestling contests every time it airs. In addition, ROH isn't bogged down by heavily scripted talking segments, instead allowing for the story to be told inside the squared-circle. That might sound like a cliché, but that's only because I've said it before. Just two more episodes of ROH TV to go until Sunday March 1st and the Thirteenth Anniversary Show in Las Vegas. Next week will feature two main-event caliber bouts—Alberto El Patron will go head-to-head with ACH, and the world television champion Jay Lethal will battle Roderick Strong. Until then, my name is Mark Adam Haggerty and this has been "Honorable Mention."

Ring Of Honor Wrestling sent out the following:

ALBERTO EL PATRГ"N CHALLENGES JAY LETHAL FOR THE ROH WORLD TV TITLE LIVE ON PAY PER VIEW SUNDAY, MARCH 1ST at 8:00PM ET/ 5:00PM PT

Sunday, March 1st at 8:00PM ET/ 5:00PM PT Live on Pay Per View, Jay Lethal puts his World Television championship on the line.

Rumors of a dream match have swirled on social media but now it is official. The legendary, 2nd generation Mexican wrestling star, Alberto El PatrГіn, will challenge Jay Lethal for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship live on Pay Per View at our 13th Anniversary event.

Upon his arrival in ROH, Alberto El PatrГіn wanted an opportunity to speak with his fans on ROH Television. Alberto proclaimed that he was finally among the best wrestlers on the planet and he wanted a shot at the most important title in professional wrestling, the ROH World Championship. Lethal and his manager, Truth Martini took major offense to this and Lethal interrupted Alberto, telling him he should have done his homework before coming to class. Lethal made it known that he is the measuring stick for the best professional wrestler on the planet and that his championship was the most important.

This meeting of two very different athletes in the prime of their careers is something that does not happen very often. This rivalry has taken on a personal twist as Lethal feels Alberto overlooked him as a champion. El PatrГіn believes Lethal has challenged his manhood, something for which Alberto will not stand.

Can Lethal add Alberto El PatrГіn to the record list of contenders he has defeated? Can Alberto El PatrГіn make history by ending the historic reign of Lethal? To find out you will either need to be live in Las Vegas or on Pay per View!
