★★★ FEATURED CONTEST ★★★
Terrence Tillman vs. Dooder3G
As the laughing intro to "Idiot" starts, the lights start to flash green. Moments later when the rift finally drops, Dooder3G emerges from the curtain full of energy. He starts screaming and hyping himself before pointing his trusty neon green vapepen in the air. Dooder3G takes a long drag and blows a cloud down the ramp in front of him before making his way to the ring.
Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, this contest match is scheduled for one fall and it is your main event of the evening! Introducing first, from Greenland, California! Weighing in at 203 pounds! He is the “Gang Green General”... DOODER3G!
Dooder3G leaps onto the apron before climbing the turnbuckle. He takes another drag of the vape before obnoxiously blowing it into the crowd. Dooder3G jumps down to the ring and begins stretching out his legs as the song fades out.
Geoff Penzer: The Gang Green General was one of the stars of the double shot weekend as he eliminated more wrestlers than anyone in the Red Carpet Rumble! Now Dooder3G finds himself in tonight’s featured contest against the other star of the Rumble, Terrence Tillman!
As the beginning horn sound that starts “Forever” blasts through the arena, Terrence Tillman runs out to the stage. Running back and forth shouting and waving his arms in the air motioning for the fans to get on their feet. He stops in the center and stretches his arms out to either side shouting “It’s Time” at the top of his lungs. Tillman starts his march to the ring with a smile on his face, slapping hands of the kids in the audience letting out an occasional “Wooo!” or “Yeah baby!”
Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, from Orlando, Florida! Weighing in at 230 pounds… “Terrific” TERRENCE TILLMAN!
Tillman rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and runs to each corner pointing to the fans, clapping his hands, and feeding off the crowd reaction.
Geoff Penzer: Triple T was the other big name in the Rumble as he lasted the longest out of anyone! You could even argue that if it wasn’t for the interference of Becker Gaines - who had already been eliminated - Tillman could have given Cyncity a run for her money, if not won the Rumble outright! We’ll never know what would have happened if Cyncity and Tillman fought that night. But what we do know is that Tillman, Dooder, Gaines, Shintaro Majima and Maritza Diaz will all be challenging Cyncity for her Paramount Championship at Showdown in the Sun. #CynDaGod was able to outlast 19 other competitors. Will she be able to overcome the numbers disadvantage again?
The match starts with both men circle the ring. Tillman can be seen raising his arms and clapping his hands, which quickly causes the fans - The T-Unit - to join in. The two men then size each other up before locking up. After jockeying for position, Dooder places Tillman in a side headlock. But Tillman is able to slip out and reverse into a hammerlock. The ref asks Dooder if he wants to give up. But Dooder refuses before leaning forward and reversing into a hammerlock of his own. The ref then asks Tillman if he wants to give up. But Tillman refuses. He then reaches back with his free arm, grabs Dooder, and brings him down with a jumping snapmare. After Dooder gets up and turns around, Tillman runs over and connects with a running shoulder block. The tackle sends Dooder stumbling back into the ropes. After bouncing off the ropes, Dooder comes back and blasts Tillman with a palm strike. After another palm strike, he takes Tillman and whips him into the ropes. When Tillman returns, Dooder throws Tillman down with an arm drag. Tillman gets back up. But he’s quickly brought back down by another arm drag from Dooder. Dooder then quickly transitions into an armbar.
The ref gets down and asks Tillman if he wants to give up. But again, Tillman refuses. After Tillman battles back to his feet, Dooder takes him by the wrist and delivers an arm wrench. He then delivers another arm wrench. The ref checks back in with Tillman and asks if he wants to give up. But once again, he refuses. Tillman then rolls forward, leans back, kips up and delivers a hard arm wrench that sends Dooder flipping down to the canvas. He drops down and makes the cover.
ONE!

After Doofer scrambles to get back up, he gets caught in a side headlock. But he doesn’t stay there for long as he’s able to shove Tillman off of him and into the ropes. When Tillman returns, Dooder knocks him down with a standing shoulder block. He then runs into another set of ropes. When Dooder returns, Tillman kips up and leapfrogs over him. When Dooder returns, Tillman (without turning around) leapfrogs over Dooder again. When Dooder returns, Tillman knocks him down with a dropsault. He makes the cover.

… Tillman lands safely on the apron! But he’s quickly caught by a gamengiri from Dooder, whcih garners boos from the crowd. The kick knocks him down to the floor.
Geoff Penzer: Tillman was able to avoid before dumped to the outside. But he wasn’t able to avoid that gamengiri from the Gang Green General.
Back in the ring, Dooder takes off into the far ropes as Tillman returns to his feet. When Dooder returns, the crowd cheers when Tillman slides back in and cuts him off with a clothesline.

One of those three men will head into Showdown in the Sun with the hope of becoming a double champion. But that’s much easier said than done.

Geoff Penzer: Just a tremendous display of athleticism right there from Dooder3G! I don’t think he’s all quite right in the head. But from what he’s shown thus far, he can handle himself against anyone he’s thrown into the ring with. Or would that be the cosmic battlefield? I guess we’ll have to ask him.
Dooder picks up Tillman and knocks him back into the corner after a palm strike. He then heads into the corner and paintbrushes Tillman with an overhand slap. Tillman comes back by rocking him with a right hand. Tillman then nails Dooder with another right hand.

Geoff Penzer: Terrence Tillman picks up the win after the unlikely assist from #CynDaGod. For the first time in a long time, it's not Triple T that's getting screwed. I don't want to say that Dooder3G had this match all wrapped it. But it looked like he was in very good position to finish this off. I'm sure that this will not sit well with the Gang Green General or even Tillman himself. But despite the unwanted assist, Tillman heads into the next episode of Thursday Night Challenge with momentum. Momentum which he will need when it takes on both Shintaro Majima and champion Becker Gaines for the 15 Championship. All three of them in the ring? I cannot wait for that one!
For everyone here at 3GW, this is Geoff Penzer signing off. 'Till next time...
