While I'm still working on procuring Regency Furniture results (and have posted what is pretty much a public callout of their "official" results blog on Tumblr to update with them), PWPonderings came through with results for yesterday.

John Francis taps Jakob out with an Ankle Lock. During the match he Hulked up and used the big boot. He also used a series of John Cena's moves as well before finally hitting the Angle Slam followed by the Ankle Lock. He had to fight off Der Wildebeest throughout as well.

"A bear can beat a bee in a fight if it stings him in the eyes." - Sidney Bakabella
Missile Assault Man taps out Kobald and Hallowicked and Frightmare attack him after the bell. Lucas Calhoun and Stray Kat are out to send the heels packing. The crowd chants "TRIOS" at them. Lucas tells Missile he can't fight the world alone. They shake hands.

Crawdad spent the whole match going after Fire Ant's antennae. Fire Ant finally had enough of it and went into overdrive before putting away Crawdad.

Blank wins with the Color Wheel in what's probably Penelope Ford's last Chikara match.
Blank says he's been scrubbing and cleaning and can't destroy the blights on his imagination. He's gotten rid of one vandalizer now. During the interview he manages to rub Scott's glasses off his face and puts them on himself. Blank says he must now scrub away Still Life With Apricots and Pears and put his masterpiece to rest at King of Trios.

Mark Haggerty says Dasher is making his 1st defense and is stopped by him and makes him say 8th and clarifies it's his 1st as Undisputed Champion. Dasher's had a towel covering his face since his entrance and even into the opening moments of the match. He finally takes it off after slapping Moretti. Levin points out that Moretti's pain resembles one of the Baseball Furies from the Warriors and perhaps he's using it to get into Dasher's head. Sidney claims that Dasher asked him to put the match on early so he would have time to go home and spend with his kids.....even though Boomer has a match later in the card. "Riley Alexandra" and "Baby Smiles" are tattooed on Dasher's leg but not Boomer. Good storytelling.

Dasher wins a hot back and forth match. They announce they're going to intermission but we're interrupted by a Crucible promo with Ophidian putting over Matt Makowski. I'm not sure if it was supposed to interrupt like that or if the guy running video jumped the gun but it kind of works.

We're back and the ropes have been taken down. Ophidian is in the ring with a microphone. He calls out the entire Crucible, this includes their referee.
Thief Ant is the first to answer the challenge of Matt Makowski. Makowski hits Chaos Theory into a Cross Armbreaker for a quick tapout.
Still Life is out next to a massive pop to take on E.M. Demorest. Demorest knocks out Still Life with his Power Bomb variation.
Ophidian asks who's gonna challenge next and someone from the crowd screams "I WILL" and it's Jawbreaker Josue to challenge Amir. Preston and Faraday are here too. Tunku Amir eventually taps to a rear naked choke. The "outsiders" run out the building and into a waiting car. Ophidian tells Amir he brings shame to the Crucible, smacks him in the face and tells everyone to leave.
Back to intermission

We're Back and we welcome Mike Quackenbush to address the crowd. He is injured and will not be able to wrestle today. He will refund anyone's ticket money personally. Joey is here though and he doesn't want to waste his talents. He calls him one of the only self-made talents in wrestling and announces Hallowicked as Joey's opponent.
Joey wins a surprising one here.

Princess Kimberlee beats Solo Darling with the Alligator Clutch. They shake hands after the match. Kim with the microphone. "This is just Kimber Lee here for a minute. I need to get real with you guys. Everybody has a past. Every single person here. And in Pittsburgh mine hit me smack in the face. It's something I've ran from for SO LONG and so far even to the point where I gave up my crown to keep this hidden from you. I was a different person in the past, everything you heard it wasn't wrong. I did use Lance Steel as a stepping stool to get where I am. But here's the thing: in life we all do things we regret but it's what you do afterwards that defines who you are. And I am a different person now. So this crown jewel is going to do whatever it takes to make things right."
Ophidian interrupts her. "I know how you can make peace with your past. You call yourself the Princess. The Crown Jewel. But you have no kingdom. You have no purpose. The way to make peace with Lance Steel and the Whisper is by becoming a resource of the Crucible." He tells the Whisper to get in the ring and pay his respect. He tells Kim to do the same. She does. "Your new purpose is to lead me and my team to victory at King of Trios. Leave!"

Boomer plays underdog the whole match and almost surprises Volgar with a bulldog off the top while Volgar was standing on the standing rope but Volgar puts Boomer away.

Main Event Time
Green Ant comes out wearing an Ophidian mask over his own. Ophidian just tapped out Green Ant quickly. He acted like it was a Crucible match and went at Green Ant hard and fast. Green Ant managed to lock in the Chikara Special but Ophidian rolled out of it. The Crucible pay their respects to Ophidian to end the show.

So Kim's "dark and terrible secret" was that she was a total bitch to KE4TPG years ago, something that everyone paying attention to WiF! already knew about? That's pretty lame.

Just got back from the Wrestle Factory, fun show.
Damned Shame that Quack was unable to face off against Janella.
I'm a dummy for not realizing Ophidian was the leader of the Crucible until the ring announcer said his name for the main event. That wardrobe change and actually talking (somewhat) normally threw me off.

Yeah, the Kimerlee storyline feels off. Let's pretend that the Lance Steel thing was a big deal. It's not, but whatever, let's run with it. Why does she have to serve Ophidian now? If anything, her outward goal should be to free Lance from Ophidian's grasp. Just turning that quickly, even if it's begrudgingly, feels so off. Yes, we know it'll end up that she helps break the Crucible, but this doesn't feel like an earned move.

They're trying a weak re-tread of "Eddie Kingston Joins the Flood for a hot minute" that they did in 2014, and yeah, I don't really get why.
