Skully_B Screws Over Smash AGAIN
Sergeant Smash finally had a ruling in his favor. At Crossed Out on August 9, 2024, the initial decision in the Bloodline Rules main event went to Smash, with Skully_B’s Sacrificial World Heavyweight Championship at stake. Then came the reversal. Skully_B kept the belt, and the result Smash thought he had earned disappeared from the official record.
To understand why that reversal mattered, go back to the first year of 3CS. Before there was a champion to chase, there were two men making their case for why they should be the first. Promos gave Skully_B and Smash a chance to speak for themselves. Video packages carried the dispute from one appearance to the next, and a contract signing put both names on the match that would settle it. By Day One, their rivalry was the story 3CS had chosen to close its first show.
On February 1, 2023, the two met in a no-disqualification main event. The Day One record credits Skully_B with three Cross KOs before he secured the cross pin. The finish tells you how much it took to put Smash away. It also explains why the result mattered to both men long after the show. Skully_B became the inaugural champion by beating the same man who would keep finding his way back into the title picture.
At the first Crossed Out, Jacob Thomas beat Smash to earn a shot at Skully_B. Smash made himself part of the main event anyway. His attack interrupted the champion-versus-champion match and forced a disqualification before the bout restarted as a triple threat. Skully_B, bleeding by the finish, pinned both men to retain. Smash had gone from losing his chance at the title to standing in the title match, and Skully_B still found a way to leave with it.
By August 2024, Smash was able to win a triple threat against ADWS and Cad3t Corporal earlier on the same card. His night should have been remembered for what he did in that match and what he nearly did in the main event. Instead, fans entered the ring during the Bloodline Rules bout, and the result that first went his way was overturned. The original livestream did not save. The event record preserves the two results separately: Smash won his triple threat, and Skully_B retained the championship.
We caught up with Skully_B and asked what he made of the overturned decision. He answered before we could finish asking what it meant for Smash.
“Get out of my face. I didn’t screw him over. I beat him again. End of story.”
Asked whether Smash deserved another shot, Skully_B had one more thing to say. “He can tell people what he heard. I’ll show them what I’m wearing.”
Smash said he had aggravated an old knee injury and needed time away. He was disappointed about the result, but he didn’t ask for the championship to be handed to him or blame the fans who came to see him.
“I heard them say my name. For a second I thought about everybody who’d stuck with me since Day One, and I thought I finally had something to show them,” Smash said. “Then they took the decision back. My knee’s bad again. I need some time. When I can go, give me a match. I’ll earn it in front of the same people.”
Smash was also attacked after the show. When the conversation turned to what he’d do while his knee healed, he remembered something his brother used to tell him.
“He’d say, ‘If you can’t stand, I’ll stand for you.’ I used to tell him I could fight my own fights.” Smash paused. “I still can. I just need a little time.”
Skully_B left Crossed Out with the belt and called the story over. Smash left asking for a chance to finish it on his feet.
