When KSWA World Tag Team Champions—and former VIPs—Edric Everhart and Tyler Cross issued an Open Challenge to the locker room, they couldn’t have guessed that they would have riled the largest hornet’s nest in the promotion’s history. But they did.

KSWA Owner Bobby O couldn’t have guessed that former Owner Shawn Blanchard would have had a trick up his sleeve moving forward into the New Era of the KSWA. But he did.

And with a lineup of former KSWA Golden Triangle Champions in the tournament to crown a new champion, you couldn’t have guessed that half of the field moving forward would be without Single’s Gold. But they are.

Without warning, J-Ru comes out of nowhere and says that he—and not Shane Starr—is the true shining light for the KSWA. He waves his Battle Bowl contract for a shot at the KSWA World Title.

KSWA Owner Bobby O makes his way to the ring to give his own welcoming words to the crowd. He also laments that now-former owner Shawn Blanchard has been ducking him all day. This leads to Blanchard’s entrance music being played. Blanchard comes to the ring and says that where he is, the “beer is cold and she (he points to a random female Krazies) dreams of me.” Shawn Blanchard drops the announcement that he sold 50-percent of the KSWA shares to KSWA Hall of Famer “Mr. Tenacity” Tommy Faime. Faime comes to the ring, takes the microphone from the Owner and immediately starts to insult the Krazies. Faime says that Bobby O has to “stay out of my way.” Faime leaves just like that. Bobby O is left without words.
