For months now, evidence has grown that the Adrenaline Championship is cursed and events at DOA 100 did nothing to dispell those rumours.

Of the last three champions, AJ Benjamin lost the title without getting pinned, Cali Gray lost the title on his first defence, and Ty Hazard lost the title back to Benjamin, also without getting pinned. 

Yet it was still a shock when Boogie took the microphone following his tag match earlier in the show to announce that he was vacating the title. As a result, the five-way Adrenaline Rush scheduled for later in the show between Dillon Slade, Ty Hazard, Sam Santari, Furio and Josh Spicer was given the added grandeur of crowning a new Adrenaline Champion.

The match was a thrilling affair with adrenaline running high throughout both the conpetitors and the crowd. High flying maneuvers, death-defying thrills and spills, and fast-paced exchanges kept the crowd on the edge of their seats. It was Furio who picked up the win and was crowned the new champion.

When asked post-match what he thought about the curse, Furio said nothing - though he said nothing to any of the questions he was asked. In fact, his interview raised more questions than answers. First and foremost amongst these is whether the curse of the Adrenaline Championship has finally been broken. To answer that, make sure you tune into or attend our next show.

Marc Lloyd has always been up front about his main mission in DOA of late: to save Jack E. Hyde from the path he is on. And the Banker must have been feeling that the chance to save Hyde was now or never following Hyde turning on long-time ally Hex at the end of October in Ipswich.

So when Lloyd took on Jack E. Hyde at the DOA 100 show, he knew that the situation was a desperate one and called for desperate measures. 

The match started with the Banker launching his briefcase into Hyde's face. Though Banker's intention was surely to unsettle, to shock Hyde, the result was undoubtedly not what Lloyd was expecting. Hyde was visibly furious and seemed, if anything, to have snapped. He stormed round the ring shouting incoherently, then proceeded to deflect much of Banker's subsequent offence and striking Banker with lethal blows before picking up the win.

Jack E. Hyde would walk his own path for the remainder of the show but Lloyd was notably shaken. In fact, in a postmatch interview, he acknowledged that his mission had failed, that he felt there was no saving Hyde from the path he was on. However, that didn't mean Lloyd is purposeless in DOA. The Farrell Family still casts its long shadow over DOA and Marc Lloyd will do everything he can to stop them.
