BTLN UPDATE - WINTERSLAM 12

 

 

Congrats to Dylan! Dylan Warwaruk is the Winterslam 12 Champion! Dylan is the second Winterslam Champion to win in back to back years! (Steven Feenstra was the Winterslam Champion in 2008 and 2009.) Can Dylan complete the Winterslam hat trick next year and win three in a row? Can't wait to find out!

There were 28 guys at Winterslam 12! We had 12 Lightweights and 16 Heavyweights. There were three bouts in the first round of the Lightweight Division. In the second round we put the three winners from the first round back in the ring to find our winner! The last two left in the ring in the Lightweight Division were Max Becker and Uzzie Cochran. For the first time ever we went "Ropes Down" for the Lightweight final. Ropes down gives everyone a chance to see what is happening and gets everyone involved. Without the support of the ropes, the final never lasts long. Both guys wanted it bad, but in the end it was Uzzie forcing Max to the ground for the win! Congrats Uzzie!

In the Heavyweight Division we had four bouts in the first round. In the past, there has almost always been the dreaded group of death. (Think World Cup of Soccer.) The group that has more than one of the favourites to win Winterslam. This year the groups were very even, there was not an easy route to the Winterslam Heavyweight Final. In the Heavyweight Final, three of the four finalists were also in the Heavyweight Final last year! Jakob, Dylan and Phoenix were all in last years final! Keegan joined them in his first Heavyweight final. The final two were an instant replay from last year. Jakob and Dylan were battling it out again for the Belt! These two are creating quite the rivalry! When we got down to the final two, we went ropes down so that all the guys could watch. The final battle lasted longer than expected and the result could have gone either way, but in the end it was Dylan pushing Jakob to the ground for the win! Congrats to both Dylan and Jakob! Both can be very proud!
