THE OPERATION NEW WAVE TOURNAMENT

One Night, Single Elimination Tourney For The New Wave Cup

 

FIRST ROUND MATCHES

 

Match 1: Scientific vs Speed

Tom O’Malley vs 2Hot Steve Scott

 

This matchup will open the Operation New Wave Tournament. O’Malley and Scott both trained under the tutelage of independent wrestling legend Jay Lethal. However, the comparisons stop there. O’Malley, a man with a strong amateur wrestling base from South River, NJ, really identifies with the grappling nature of scientific and technical wrestling. Scott, a master of the Selfie from Roselle Park, NJ, lives and dies by his Speed in between the ropes. These two men know each other extremely. Will O’Malley dominate on the mat? Or will 2Hot show that his need for Speed can garner him a victory?

 

Match 2: Violence vs Old School

Ricky Richards vs Tough Tim Hughes

 

For Ricky Richards, Operation New Wave is a break-out opportunity. The silent but violent fighter from Long Island, NY lives and embodies the hockey toughness that lays out in the wrestling ring. On the other end is Tough Tim Hughes, a man who has truly learned the ways of Old School from his mentor Brutal Bob Evans. At Operation New Wave, will Violence overcome the tricky ways of Old School? Or will the little nuances Tough Tim has learned over the years help him garner a W over the cerebral Richards?

 

Match 3: Entertainment vs Powerhouse

Sizzling Stan Stylez vs Vince Steele

 

This is a battle of “David Vs Goliath”. Sizzling Stan Stylez is quite possibly the most charismatic individual inside of the Operation New Wave tournament, but not even the Sizzling One can be sure on how to prepare for the 6’4, 435 lb “Jurassic Juggernaut” from the Bronx, NY. Vince Steele is big, strong, and agile. Does size matter in this battle? April 21, we find out.

 

Match 4: Striking vs Hybrid

“The Magnificent” Giovanni Marranca vs Darius Carter

 

Giovanni Marranca is on a crusade. He has made a self-imposed mandate, stating that if he does not win the Operation New Wave tournament, he will leave wrestling forever. On the other end, Darius Carter is looking to showcase his abilities and win on his terms. Both men are driven and both men have fire to succeed. This contest might be the most intriguing on April 21st. “Wrestling’s Richest Prize” and “the Magnificent” are definitely looking to steal the show.

 

PLUS, THE SEMI-FINALS AND FINALS TO DETERMINE THE WINNER OF THE NEW WAVE CUP!

MC MONTY MAX PRESENTS THE STYLES CLASH

A Four Way Elimination Match

Prince Akkanatan (Entertainment) vs Mike Del (Hybrid) vs WildMan Kongo (Old School) vs Gabby Ortiz (Speed)

 

On February 23, 2018, on an edition of the Purge of Diverge, Jon Harder’s Hypeman, MC Monty Max, announced that he had a vision for Operation New Wave. A multi-man match. Elimination rules. He planned on a match that would blow Jon’s socks off. On March 30, 2018, he succeeded.

 

MC Monty Max announced the Styles Clash, with four different styles inside of one match. In an elimination concept, the last person standing would be the winner and sole survivor of the Styles Clash.

 

HYBRID - Darius Carter selected Mike Del

ENTERTAINMENT - Stan Stylez selected Prince Akkanatan

OLD SCHOOL - Tough Tim Hughes selected Wildman Kongo

SPEED - 2Hot Steve Scott selected Gabby Ortiz

 

WHO WILL WIN THIS BATTLE AND OVERCOME THREE DIFFERENT STYLES? Welcome to the Styles Clash!
