It has taken me more than a week to even begin wrapping my head around everything that transpired at Locked and Loaded 2017.  Before the dust even settles 3 Count Pro Wrestling will return to the Liberty Rec Center for Emma KAPPS night on April 22, 2017.

1.  JC Harper is now the Next Level Champion.  Are there words to fully describe the transformation of this young man over the past few months?  Not only is he a wrestler coming into his own, but he has tapped into something dark and other worldly that makes him an even more dangerous competitor than before.  He won’t have much time to celebrate as he defends his title in a ladder match at Emma KAPPS night.
2. Anthony Jannazzo debuts.  Here’s a man who has won titles everywhere he has been.  His victory over Zuka King and declaration that he is here for titles has put everyone on notice.
3. James Drake wants the whole world to know he’s the best big man in wrestling.  With a victory over Steven Hunter and his impressive 2016 James Drake has put himself in title contention.  He is someone to keep your eye wherever he wrestles in 2017.
4. The Sons of Steel and Team Y2x are not playing games.  What started out as simply 2 teams trying to stake their claim as the #1 team in 3 Count has become nothing short of a blood feud.  The post-match attack on an already injured Brandon Paradise with Nick Kismet zip-tied to the ropes set a tone that the crowd in Liberty was not ready for.  Neither was I.  Now, we have a Steel City Street Fight to try and settle things once and for all on April 22.  Will Paradise be recovered?  Can Liberty contain the violence?
5. Ken Magnum and Ace Armstrong wrote a final chapter to their rivalry that will not soon be forgotten.  Now, a newly focused Ken Magnum enters his second title reign with a long list of challengers that does not include Ace Armstrong.  Ace must start from the bottom and who knows when we will see him in the title picture again.  Will Ace even be able to compete in April after taking 4 Full Clip DDT’s from Magnum?  Who will Ken’s first challenger be?
6. Tim Smith shocked the world.  While Ace Armstrong struggled to get to his feet, his father returned to 3 Count and, in a surprising move, helped his son to the back.  Everyone in Liberty was left speechless.  After seeing that Ken Magnum and the Sons of Steel weren’t on the same page during the title match and watching Tim turn his back on Ken to help Ace who knows what will happen next?  On April 22, Tim Smith will address all of 3 Count and we will finally get some answers as to where he’s been, what he’s been doing, and what’s next for he and Ace?
