After one round the action is as tight as a drum! The GWF Team leads with 33 points after sending 9 wrestlers to the next round. In second place, the aCe Team is not far behind with 28 points also sending 9 wrestlers to the next round. In third place, the POW Team had a rough first half of brackets, but bounced back in the later, managing to score 26 points and are in the thick of things sending 8 wrestlers to the next round. In last place, but certainly not out of it yet, the GWFZ Team has 20 points sending 6 wrestlers to the next round.
Team GWFZ is on the outside looking in as they sent the least amount of wrestlers to the next round. They need some big wins from them in order to stay alive and get back into this thing. They managed to get some huge wins in the first round, coming from behind to get it. But a wins a win and they’re points for the team!
Team POW stumbled out of the gates, dropping some matches that they were expected to win. However, in the second bracket, they came back winning some solid matches and scoring some big points.
Team aCe had a good first round. This appears to be the best showing the aCe has put forth in all the Invitational’s they have been in before! They could very well win this tournament as they are toe to toe with the GWF in points and wrestlers in the next round!
Team GWF is showing why they are considered the best promotion in the galaxy! They have romped and stomped their way through the first round where everyone on the GWF Team wrestled great. They are in solid control in first place and they can really only beat themselves at this point. If they lose this tournament, this could really be a black eye for them! Believe me, the other three teams here would love nothing more than to knock off the GWF here today!
Stay tuned, Round two action is coming up!
