Match observations: 

       Tonight, an uneasy alliance was formed as Melissa DelArmeggio and Troy 
Black teamed up to face Gabriel Black and Moy Lazzario of the Inquisition, 
marking the first time that Troy and Gabriel Black have ever faced one another 
in a VCW ring. The match ended as expected, with Gabriel Black destroying 
Melissa, though she put up a good fight (at least, considering her extreme lack
of experience) going down. After the match, Moy Lazzario and Gabriel Black 
continued to attack Melissa DelArmeggio and Stormy Weathers, only being stopped
when Troy drove them away, though he would later attack Melissa DelArmeggio 
with a chair, presumably irritated by her constant attention.
       Though she escaped injury due to Troy Black's rescue of her in the first
half of the main event, Melissa DelArmeggio's wrestling career may not last 
much longer. James Lockman has given her five weeks to win a match by pinfall 
or submission, or she will be barred from wrestling in VCW. Considering her 
lack of wrestling skill, that's a pretty tall order at this point.
       Another key element in Troy Black's future, the Torturer, is not doing 
well in many of his matches, losing today to Devaccio Pola, who proved his 
inexperience by losing to Rex Richards not long ago. The Inquisition blames the
Torturer's recent losing streak on the fact that he is focusing all of his 
attention on preparing for the Iron Cage Axe Handle Death Match against Troy 
Black at Wrestlewar. If in fact this is true, Troy may have quite a bit to 
worry about; the Torturer is nearly twice his size, and obviously much 
stronger.
       While the Manhunters and the Wrecking Crew unsuccessfully battled for 
supremacy in the tag team ranks (the double-countout finish of their match 
resolved nothing), the Golden Society's team of Chris Champlain and Dean 
Sanders stepped up to the task and defeated the Ontario Color Show to win the 
VCW World Tag Team Titles. Next week, there will be a return match from this 
week's double-countout fiasco to decide who will receive the all-important tag 
team title shot at Wrestlewar.
       David Wright Hubbard, meanwhile, has rebounded from his loss to Johnny 
Smiles with a vengance, scoring a clean victory over VCW World Champion Falcon 
in a non-title match tonight, and definitely setting Falcon back in terms of 
momentum going into his big match against Gabriel Black at Wrestlewar. Next 
week, he will receive a title match against Johnny Smiles, in an attempt to get
the Intercontinental Title scene resolved before Wrestlewar. He's more than 
earned the rematch by virtue of his victory over Falcon.
