Ripley was dominant. Brookside did her best to use her speed and agility, but she was caught and tossed at almost every turn. Brookside is fun to watch though, and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing her grow in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRadzi welcomes James Drake and Zack Gibson.

I can&#8217;t say that I&#8217;m a fan of Dennis right now. He does a lot of walking around, hitting one move, then walking around some more. He seems more concerned with twisting his face in a grimace than putting on a great performance. And he&#8217;s constantly positioning so he can look into the main camera. Like, all the time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nLast week, Tyson T-Bone and Dave Mastiff had to be separated by Johnny Saint backstage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Mark Andrews vs &#8220;Wild Boar&#8221; Mike Hitchman<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Chris Sharpe)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523cddeba','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523cddeba\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523cddeba\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Mark Andrews wins via pinfall after a shooting star press<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 5:27<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Hitchman had a surprising amount of offense. He&#8217;s short and wide, and a lot of his moves look strong and tough to defend against. Andrews absorbed a lot of punishment, but he seems to always be just a few quick moves away from a victory. That was the case here, and it was entertaining to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRadzi welcomes Eddie Dennis.

Isla Dawn started quickly and surprised Storm with a barrage of offense. Dawn dominated most of the match, but it went on long enough for Storm to mount a comeback. Storm hit a few strong moves to dash Dawn&#8217;s hopes of moving on in the tournament. It was no real surprise, but it was a fine (although brief) quarter final match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Ligero vs Jordan Devlin<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Chris Sharpe)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523cddf20','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523cddf20\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523cddf20\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Jordan Devlin wins via pinfall after a fireman&#8217;s carry into a modified emerald flowsion<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:45<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match.

I hope the next few women&#8217;s tournament matches will be a bit longer and more involved, but these were fine to close out the quarter finals.
