Posted on August 14, 2025 by Iron City Press in Category: Rumors
Who’s scorching, who’s simmering, and who’s begging for ice after the first weekly from The Foundry.

Birmingham, Alabama — August 14, 2025. With ICFC 1.1 in the books, here’s the temperature check on the people and programs shaping the weeks ahead. (Scale: πŸ”₯ to πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯)

Top 10 — This Week’s Heat

1) Trust Fund (TD3, Jacoby Jacobs, Darian Darrington) — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Closed the show with a choke on the champ and a money pose over the Iron Crown. Loud, undeniable, and instantly hateable. Stock: πŸš€

2) Graysie Parker (Iron Crown Champion) — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Won clean in the main, then ate a mugging and never wilted. The face of the brand and the building’s heartbeat. Stock: β†—

3) Brothers Gluck — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
No match, no problem. That swamp-grim vignette made the tag field feel dangerous. Big-men mystique dialed in. Stock: β†—

4) Top Notch Team (TNT) — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Crisp TV squash that screamed “assign us a real test.” Mechanical, mean, and ready for 8–10 next time. Stock: β†—

5) Night Riders (Neon Blaze & Steel Thunder) — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
High-velocity debut, clean finish, crowd-approved. Dark horse vibes entering the bracket. Stock: β†—

6) New Untouchables — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Commentary crash kept them omnipresent without hijacking the show. If they get a marquee dance partner, they could leap to five flames. Stock: ➑

7) Urban Ninjaz (Flip D & Junichiro) — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Five minutes, one wild pop, and a table souvenir. Cult heat that plays big on TV when kept tight. Stock: β†—

8) Astrid Reichert & Duchess Vaughn (Forced Pairing) — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Oil and water… and that’s the point. Volatility = ratings if the bell brings chemistry. Stock: β™ŸοΈ wild card

9) Jack Havok — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Brutality hit its mark, post-match carnage turned heads. Danger: office eyes on the chair count. Stock: β†— / ⚠️

10) Lowlife Larry Edwards — πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Stretchered but not softened. Sympathy heat is real; one promo and the roof comes off when he’s back. Stock: β†—

On the Bubble

  • Clovis Black — staredown heat with Havok; one pull-apart from a Top 10 jump.

  • Iron Kid (with Rich Mahogany sniffing around) — potential manager pairing = TV intrigue if it sticks.

  • Eric Dane Sr. — headset return at 1.2 would spike legacy heat at the desk instantly.

Biggest Images of the Night

  • “Money Where His Mouth Is.” TD3’s Million Dollar Dream on Graysie to close the broadcast.

  • “Welcome to the Swamp.” Brothers Gluck vignette establishing tone without a single suplex.

  • “Open the Gates.” Graysie standing tall post-win, daring the wolves to bite.

Stock Watch

  • Rising: Trust Fund, TNT, Night Riders

  • Stable: New Untouchables, Urban Ninjaz

  • Volatile: Astrid & Duchess, Jack Havok

  • In Recovery: Lowlife Larry
