INCOMING!: Breaking Point 11.9.13 (Buffalo, NY)

AND 190 YEARS LATER, THAT'S STILL THE BEST THING THEY HAVE GOING FOR THEM

So the world tour ends, we're all happy to be back in America... and the second show back is in Buffalo.  I mean, it could be worse, like Cleveland or Detroit, but seriously, can't we go someplace nice?  LIke Miami?  Or Denver? 

And no, this isn't going to get me hated in Buffalo.  Trust me, they're well aware that their city is shit and they're probably losing their NFL team to Toronto within five years.  At least they'll get FFW to brighten up their drab, miserable existances. So, you know, should be a good crowd.  Because there is literally nothing else to do, other than throwing yourself off a waterfall. 

Here's what they get to enjoy: 

CANDI vs. VALENTINA LOZANO

Lozano is like taking Crystal Hilton during her "Rose Witch" phase, and turning the bitch-o-meter up to 11.  Which probably doesn't spell good for the naive, not terribly bright Candi. 

WINNER: Candi's due for one of those 'wait, what?' wins she's known for, but I just don't see it happening here.  Valentina looks pretty solid from what I've seen so far, so I'll predict her. 

FREYA KANE vs. DESTINY CAMPBELL

Kane's still searching for her first win in FFW,  although to be fair, Campbell might be her easiest opponent to date.  That's not saying much, as Destiny's been pretty damn brutal during what few matches she's had.  

WINNER: Campbell.  Kane has pretty much zero confidence at this point, and while FFW is not a mollycoddling company, Destiny is particularly unsympathetic.  Kane seriously needs to get her head on straight. 

GIGANTE vs. SOPHIA BLACK

WE haven't seen Gia since the Scramble match back in July, and I had no idea she was injured badly enough to knock her out for three months.  Unfortuntely, Sophia isn't exactly the best person you'd want after just coming off the mend.  

WINNER: Sophia's been slumping pretty hard of late, so she really needs to step up and show something here.  But Gia's size has worked very well for her, and she's only taken one fall since entering the roster.  I think Gigante takes this. 

LAURA STEELE vs. NATALYA DEMIDOV 

The other Demidov makes her FFW Debut.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I've seen a lot of masked wrestlers lose the mask, and then lose their confidence in the ring, so the vote is very much out on her.  Still better on where the vote came in on Laura though. 

WINNER: Cousin Steele's proven time after time in the ring that she's completely inept unless she's cheating.  That's not a good thing when you're facing the runner up of the Ultraviolence season of Future Shock.  The only question is how much of Steele is left for Becky Hate. 

KELLY MCGUFFIN vs. MISTY WHITMORE

Alright, Misty.  You want the TV title?  It starts here, when you show what you can do against a perennial title contender. 

WINNER: Misty's entering this match on a two match losing streak, Kelly's won four in a row.  That makes the choice a bit obvious, although I think you're going to see a heck of a fight out of Whitmore. 

UNITY CHAMPIONSHIPS

OF POETS & PROPHETS [C] (Aimee Easter & Lightning) vs. WITCHES BREW (Stephanie Dallins & Sunny Kyoun)

Just two weeks ago, Sunny stunned the world by pinning Aimee in the middle of the ring in Tokyo.  Now they have to do it again, if they want the four months they've spent chasing the titles to come to fruition. 

WINNER: Tough call here, as I'm not sure whether Sunny's pinning of Aimee is a turning of the corner, or a fluke.  Either way... P&P have been SO damn good at wriggling out when it matters the most.  I'm picking them to retain, but don't be shocked if it goes the other way.
