The End``xnapw``xThe influence and power of the enigmatic ZOUAVE has led to poor attendance, low TV ratings and an overall loss of 'prestige' and goodwill in the wrestling community NAPW has built over the past five years. Two weeks ago, NAPW appeared to strike a huge blow at COMPLETE CONTROL III
But before NAPW could, like so many promotions before it, shut its doors unceremoniously with nothing but bad taste in the mouths of wrestlers and fans, the unthinkable occured.
New Alberta Pro Wrestling will continue on for seven shows to be released on DVD, taking the alumni, legends and young upstarts to England, Japan and back to Alberta to celebrate five years of memories --- by creating new ones. NAPW will end, but it will end in celebration, not mourning.

JT Whiplash Spotting``xbean``x- via "The Ring Post" columnist Jamie Brody
Sources report to me that, for the first time in over three months, the popular but troubled former REBEL Pro competitor "The Confederate Copperhead" J.T. Whiplash was spotted in the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area, fresh out of a rumored 90-day substance abuse treatment center to reportedly break his well-publicized problems with various types of substance abuse. When asked whether this meant J.T. was on his way back to REBEL Pro, he stated that in the immediate future, he's more concerned about getting sober, but to never say never. Reports are that the REBEL Pro staff are more than interested in J.T. coming back given his ability to draw fans and money into the company, but they want to see if J.T. can stay sober before offering him any kind of deal. An anonymous source inside the company reported the following statement: "Given the fact that during J.T.'s first run, we drew some of our best houses in recent history and his immense popularity in the Southern United States, of course we'd be more than happy to have him back. The only thing is J.T. has been rather infamous over the past 20 years or so of letting his demons get the better of him and in that aspect, we can't have J.T. showing up under the influence at REBEL Pro events as this led to his departure in the first place. However, we have heard J.T. just got out of a rehab center and so far, things have been going well. But we want to wait and see how he does sobriety-wise before investing time and money into him again.". We here at "The Ring Post" hope for the best for "The Confederate Copperhead" and hope to see him in a wrestling ring again in the near future. ``xEklkukAAEyOdXtMNpJ``x1282433516``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/news/breaking-news-exclusive/``xJT Whiplash Spotting``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xRP``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Genesis 52 Press Release``xmrparasyte``xFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Genesis tears the roof off the Hala Wielofunkcyjna in Lodz
Lodz, Poland - July 30th, 2010 - An American wrestling company known only as Genesis (based in Burlington, Massachusetts) made a stop in Lodz amidst their world tour.
This event was the 52nd weekly webcast and it appeared on the several local television stations that picked up a deal with the promotion to fill their schedules. The promotion is garnering a bit of attention due to their several successful pay per views and straight forward approach to wrestling. In addition Genesis fans can watch their favorite superstars throughout the week as they prepare for their upcoming matches.
On hand at Genesis 52 were some of the fastest rising names in the independent wrestling scene.
The evening started off with a segment teasing the possible return of the former Genesis Champion Charger X.
This was followed by Joe, formerly known as Jobber X going a little off the handle against the debuting AJ Olsen to earn himself a disqualification.
Michael Mason then made an impact as he took on Superfast Jellyfish. We then saw "The Wizard" Mike Evens take out Cash Money Jones and send him on his way out of Genesis.
Things faded to the back where there was an altercation between the Hero Champion Future and his opponent of the night Kintaru.
As the show continued Kara McKay proved that she could handle her own against the men of Genesis when she took out Matt Winslow. Similarly the mystical Hologram took out former GWA champion AJ Johnson with little effort.
Then things took a turn for the interesting as "The Preacher of Pain" Sam Hershey put his Television Championship on the line against "The Preacher of Pudding" Kyle Kendrick in a food court match. Things got pretty messy and these guys did a number on the food court but when all was said and done we had a new Television Champion. After the match however several druid looking characters came in to wheel Hershey off in a casket.
The show continued with Damion Xavior making Liam Lowe look like a bit of a joke in his second match here in Genesis. After this Olaf attempted to attack Stephen Messier but Messier was prepared with a lead pipe in tow.
After this Tom Carnage defeated Christian Seivers in a very hotly contested battle. Carnage's Exodus stablemate Ikaika Satele wasn't as lucky however. On his way to the ring Satele was ambushed by Joe and this made him an easy opponent for Stephen Messier to handle.
The stars aligned in the next match when Hero Champion Future went head to head with Kintaru for a shot at the Genesis championship. This match was an epic battle that kept the fans captivated. In the end Kintaru was able to get the win and finally earn a shot at the Genesis championship. There is a bit of controversy about this however because the word on the street is Exodus tampered with the Choose Your Own Adventure voting to rob Future of his opportunity at a shot.
Following this match was the main event. It wasn't much of an event though as the match really didn't take place. Olaf came down to the ring not prepared to fight and shook the champion's hand. After this however Stephen Messier ran down to the ring and offered his attempt at finishing the job with that lead pipe.

RumorMILL 07/8/10``xWFerraro``x First day on the job, and it's a scorcher. Literally- it's 100 degrees in New York and I'm sweating bullets as I type this. Where's Brandon Mueller with a cold one when you need it?
The rumor mill's heating up, so let's get down to it:
-JTP's gonna be at Reloaded 2 (you knew that), but there's gonna be big news concerning not only the NFW World Heavyweight Title, but also it's PURE counterpart (betcha didn't know that). OK, maybe not a shocker, but try this one on for size...
-Reports tell me that Castor Strife has a surprise opponent close (I said close!) to being lined up for Reloaded 3, and if my sources are correct, it's a familiar face. They tell me it's somebody who's stock has risen over the past year and will be Strife's first real test since winning the belt. Rumor also has it, he's got an axe to grind against the snuff film scion. Does that mean it's not Rich Mahogany? Sources within Castor V. Strife Productions seem to think the match has fallen through. NFW's front office has not confirmed this. Does that mean it's gonna be Rich vs. JTP at a later date? Also unknown, but I'm hearing it's a strong possibility. Speaking of surprises...
-...another one might be showing up at Reloaded 2. I don't know when, or how, but they tell me it's someone familiar. Lots of familiarity going around at Reloaded, eh?
-High Flyer vs. Brock Alyas is close to being signed for Reloaded 3. It'll be a Reel-to-Reel Strap match for the right to challenge the Television Champion (the presumption is it will be Castor Strife, but that could change on the very same night if aforementioned rumored challenger is indeed a lock).
-Months ago, rumors were swirling around that CSWA legend Hornet may be sticking around NFW for a tour or two. Obviously, this has not come to fruition. Today, my sources tell me NFW is still interested in the possibility, but negotiations have been stagnant for a while.
-Strong possibility of a new tag team entering the scene, and very soon.
-BIG NEWS for all you collectors out there. Word out of NFW films is that the company will be putting out DVD reissues of classic events that were, until now, only available on VHS. Previously, the inaugural Crash (that's Crash 1, kiddies) was the only classic era event made available on disc. The new reissues will include Crash 2-25, as well as Season 1 Wild Card matches. Also on tap are the very rare, highly sought episodes of NFW Impact, all three to be exact. While this may sadden a few eBay merchants peddling bootleg versions, the majority of fans will no doubt be pleased. The DVDs will feature chapters...CHAPTERS I SAY!
And to show you the RumorMILL isn't pulling your chain, I've gotten my hands on three classic events you can check out online...WITH CHAPTERS! This includes an episode of Impact, as well as Crash 3, aka Random Rumble 2000, where the inaugural NFW World Heavyweight Championship was won. Enjoy.

ALPHA Primer 7.8.10``xkongo``x[center][url=http://alpha.nearzone.com][img]http://alpha.nearzone.com/images/alpha_news.png[/img] alpha.nearzone.com[/url][/center]
Straight out of ALPHA! [list][*]Last Saturday was [b]ALPHA 12: Independence Fray[/b], but it was also [b]Stephen Mathers[/b]'s birthday! His brother [b]Jay[/b] did his best to wish him a happy birthday on that occasion, but the fans weren't having it, and they weren't the only ones put off by the display! A [url="http://alpha.nearzone.com/?p=826"]video of the altercation has been posted to the Red Mountain Casino YouTube account[/url]. VIDEO LINK: http://alpha.nearzone.com/?p=826 [*]Stemming from the fallout of Mathers vs. Maloka at ALPHA 12, another A~ qualifier has been set up, this time pitting [b]Stephen Mathers[/b] against [b]Brian Jackson[/b]! Jackson has thrown in with Maloka, which makes him a target as far as the Lancers are concerned. This match promises to be boiling hot! [*]Two weeks in a row, [b]Jake Landell[/b] has been unable to get the job done in the ring. He'll have a chance to change that Saturday night, but his opponent isn't someone that'll give him an easy W. [b]Nathan Rageous[/b] has been chomping at the bit to get back on track as well after losses at ALPHA 8, 9, and 10. It'll take every ounce of guts that Landell has to beat Rageous, and that might not even be enough! [*]The A~ tournaments have always been an uphill battle for [b]D.R. Kongo[/b]. Without the backing of [b]LIONS F.C.[/b] or a full ALPHA contract, Kongo's been forced to battle his way into every tournament, but he's managed to grab his spots. This time, he had to go through [b]Rodrigo De La Zed[/b] and [b]Josh Cameron[/b] in tag action just to get to the point he's at now, a qualifying match against [b]Javier Sikkan[/b]. This promises to be a war, and to top it all off, Kongo will have to have eyes in the back of his head as Cameron is undoubtedly gunning for him. Which of these two wrestlers will make it into their third A~? [*]Amidst all these qualifying matches, let us not forget that LFC captain [b]John Hurst[/b] still has a guaranteed pick in his pocket! He hasn't made his choice yet, but seeing as there are no LFC members in qualifying matches (Kongo excluded), it stands to reason it'll be someone from the club. Beyond that, we have no information. Expect the big reveal at [b]ALPHA 13[/b]! [*]If you ask WWR, he's number 25. If you ask PTC, he's number 10. And if you ask the man himself, well, [b]"Fashion" Dash Springfield[/b] is number 1! He's come up short in past A~s, but he's not about to let that stop him. This weekend he's got a chance to qualify for [b]A~4[/b] in a match against newcomer [b]Lex Fox[/b]! Fox scored a win last week and if he can repeat himself here, he will not only have a win over one of the top names in independent wrestling today, he'll be in the running to be crowned first [b]King of Savage[/b]! [*][b]A~3[/b] winner [b]Alexander Shaw[/b] has not been in a good mood lately, and understandably so. His dealings with [b]LIONS Fight Club[/b] captain [b]John Hurst[/b] have become increasingly violent. Just last Saturday, he barely kept LFC from brutally beating both himself and [b]D.R. Kongo[/b]. This week, he squares off against newcomer [b]Andre Miller[/b], but there's no doubt that Shaw's looking past Miller, straight onto [b]A~4[/b] and Hurst. "He made this personal," Shaw said. "So now, at A~4, I've only got one option: win the whole thing." [*]Things in ALPHA are heating up, and if you're an independent wrestler, you're looking for the hottest place possible! If you want to show the world that you're the best, [url="http://alpha.nearzone.com/?page_id=309"]send an application to ALPHA offices[/url] and we'll give you a chance to prove it! JOIN LINK: http://alpha.nearzone.com/?page_id=309 [*]Coming to you LIVE on pay-per-view, Saturday July 10th, it's [b]ALPHA 13: The Contenders' Circle[/b]! The final participants for [b]A~4: Coronation Chase[/b] will be decided. No spot is safe, no match is a gimme, and that means we're passing on the carnage straight to you, the customer!

Borash: Are you ready for your TNA Main Event?!?!
(The crowd goes insane as they have been please with the show thus far.)
( “I Came to Play” by Downsaint erupts over the speaker system in the Impact Zone. The Miz steps out of the tunnel to a roar of boo's. With his cocky smile he starts walking towards the ring.)
Borash: Introducing first in this Main Event contest. Weighting in at two hundred and thirty one pounds. The MIIIIZZZZ!
(The Miz steps into the ring at that moment and runs to the far left corner and raises his arms to a sea of boos. The Miz's music dies down and is replaced with "I Am" by Dale Oliver.)
Borash: And his opponent weighting in at two hundred and fifteen pounds. AJ STYLES!
(Styles comes through a shower of pyro with his arms out to his side. He looks up under his hood to pose for the crowd as they go wild. After a couple seconds Aj starts making his way down to the ring)
Taney: With the simullar styles of both Miz and Aj I think this match should be a great one.
Taz: Yes it should Taney!
(The ref calls for the bell as both Aj and Miz start to circle inside the ring. After a few moments they both go to the center of the ring and tie up. Aj gets the upper hand by a hip toss.

(Miz kicks out. Aj hurries and stands up. He grabs Miz's hair and pulls him up and throws him against the ropes Aj goes the other direction when they meet in the middle Aj jumps and turns in the mid air to do a cross body block. As they land Aj goes for the pin once again.)

Aj poses for the fans again and suddenly jumps off and does a Frog Splash on Miz. Aj pops back up and spins around with his arms out to his side. The crowd goes wild)
JR: I think Aj is going to try to end it right here!
Taney: I think so JR.
(Aj picks up Miz and signals for the end. Aj throws Miz into the ropes but this time he stays there. Miz comes running back as he does Aj picks up Miz and puts his legs over his shoulder and sets him up for the Styles Clash.)
Taz: Here it is.
(Aj slams himself face forward for the Styles Clash! Aj goes for the pin!)

Taney: Styles did it by domination!
Borash: Your winner, and moving on in the TNA World Championship Tournament, Aj Styles!
(The crowd erupts and Styles goes to the corner and lefts himself up and raises his arm and poses for the crowd as "I Am" by Dale Oliver starts to play in the Impact Zone!)
JR: I think we might be seeing our first ever TNA Champion in Aj Styles!
Taz: Very well could be JR! I can't wait till next week!
Taney: With that said, for Taz and Jr, My name is Mike Taney, thank you for tuning in to the very first TNA Impact! See you next week!
(The scene fades to black while we see Aj Styles posing for the crowd some more.)``xWhat a crazy first night inside the Impact Zone. Not only did we see the debuts of Mr. Anderson, Randy Orton and Mick Foley but we saw Rob Terry and Christopher Daniels get fired!
Thats right. During Impact last night Eric Bischoff debuted as the new TNA General Manager firing both Rob Terry and Christopher Daniels. Eric said they did not "produce" tonight during Impact!
To start out the show Dixie Carter came out and said tonight every match would be part of the TNA World Championship Tournament along with next weeks show. So we saw Aj Styles, The Worrier, and John Cena move on in the World Championship Tournament.

DEFIANCE Press Conference!``xSuperJustin``x[The Cowboys’ Stadium in Dallas. The press conference room was packed full of journalists. After Eric Dane’s forcible closing of the World Wrestling Alliance, pro wrestling journalism, financial journalism, and entertainment journalism were waiting for the next big bombshell.]
[Something had to come of this, right?]
[The podium with a blood-red DEFIANCE logo printed on it stood empty, with a number of chairs behind it. The amphitheater was elegantly dressed up, with fancy blue-and-gold curtains, pretty side decor, and multitudes of white plastic chairs. When the time was right, and the speaker was ready, people began to file out from the back.]
[Angus Skaaland.]
[Eric Dane.]
[Cito Conarri.]
[Dane walked to the podium and took ahold of the edge with one hand, laying his papers out before him. No cane, either, so no need for a hand being free just for that. After a moment of consideration, Dane looked up, to the audience. The Baws of DEFIANCE cleared his throat, before adjusting the mic.]
Dane: Thank you all for coming out, today. As you all could imagine, the decision to close the World Wrestling Alliance was a heavy one to make, but one that I can assure you wasn’t made lightly.
Matter-of-factly, it was a decision that had been weighing on my thoughts for most of the preceding six months. Many of those in my “inner circle” have said openly that I’ve been distracted, and it was true. If I spent forty hours in my office every week working on Defiance, I spent another forty if not more dealing with the WWA.
[He paused, took a calming breath, and continued.]
Dane: But none of that matters anymore. The World Wrestling Alliance is dead, in every possible meaning of the word. As such, we in Defiance have no choice but to move onward and upward...
Under the umbrella of the Alliance, we were limited in where and when we could produce television shows. We had to follow certain guidelines, rules that helped drive other, lesser promotions to the wayside, but we soldiered through. As a part of the Alliance we were allocated a certain funds to keep operations up without the increased intake that producing more, bigger, better shows would produce.
Without that allocation, and without the stifling nature of the by-laws that came with it, we are now faced with a major decision.
[Again he paused.]
Dane: Shit, or get off the pot.
[The statement was devised to break the tension, and it had worked. Journalists who’d been sitting on the edges of their seats and biting their nails relaxed, even chuckled.]
Dane: And, well, we all know me. So, faced with the knowledge of the Alliance’s impending doom, I took it on myself to start looking at my options for the post-WWA era of Defiance.
The first step was obvious. In order to prosper and grow, Defiance TV has to find it’s way off of the internet, and onto at least a semi-National television network.
[Reporter-types were scrawling furiously into their notepads.]
Dane: As you can imagine, with the saturation of bad wrestling television on cable, nobody but G4TV would even look at us, and even they wanted us to pay them.
So, just when things were looking grim, I get a phone call. On the other end is Quentin Sullivan. Word had gotten out that I was shopping DEF TV around, and he asked if I had any interest in bringing the Defiance product to the network that he’d only just returned to himself, ESEN TV.
As you know, ESEN is the premier wrestling and fighting network across the globe. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity. To be perfectly honest, the contracts were all but notarized two and a half weeks before Summer Games went live.
So, without further stalling, I can now publically state that Defiance TV will begin airing on ESEN TV immediately, We’ve secured a late-night timeslot for re-runs of the first season, and Season Two, Episode Four will be the first Live Television Broadcast for Defiance. To top it off, we’ve secured a primetime 8:00pm to 10:00pm slot in which to do so.
[Hands shot up, Eric politely asked for questions to be held as he was not yet done.]
Dane: Now, just to seal the deal and make it official, I’d like to bring the President of ESEN to the podium, please welcome Mr. Quentin Sullivan!
[Sullivan came around the stage unseen from the side. There was more furious writing of notes and raising of hands. Again, questions were asked to be held as Quentin stepped up to the podium, shook hands with Dane as well as Angus Skaaland and Cito Conarri, and finally took his place in front of the microphone.]
Sullivan: We'd like to welcome DEFIANCE WRESTLING to the ESEN Family. As one of the up and coming national promotions, we're looking forward to partnering with them for a long time.
DEFIANCE will make a fine addition to our network’s roster of talent... As long as that Victor Mandrake guy doesn’t keep trying to kill you, Eric.
[Sullivan chuckled, and stepped back aside.]
Dane: Yes, well, I know how to deal with Mr. Mandrake, Sully, and frankly his parlor tricks just don’t have the impact anymore that they did ten years ago.
[A nervous chuckle flares through the assembled press as Mr. Sullivan took his seat behind the podium.]
Dane: Now, with access to a Global television audience comes the opportunity to grow our brand name in areas outside of the South-Eastern US, where we’ve been so far confined. We will immediately be embarking on a tour of the continental United States.
Not only will we be bringing Defiance TV to new, untapped markets, but we will be bringing live, non-televised events as well. This is a first for Defiance, but it’s always been my hope to put the product in front of as many eyes as possible.
[Catching his stride, the Defiance boss continues.]
Dane: Along with National product expansion, of course, comes roster and staff expansion. As has been reported all over the internet, Defiance has absorbed quite a bit of former WWA talent after the events of Summer Games. To lay the fears to rest, this is good news.. There are spots for everyone in Defiance, and opportunities to not only thrive but to succeed in this wrestling business. No cuts shall be made on this account.
We’ve also taken on several new staff members, the most notable of which is sitting right here at my side, a Mr. Cito Conarri.
[Cito stands and makes his way over to the podium.]
Conarri: Well, let me start by saying, in case it wasn't already clear, that my decision to stand up for the Alliance in the end was not about starting some sort of 'feud' with Eric Dane. Obviously, or I wouldn't be here right now.
[Pause for a mild chuckle from the fans.]
Conarri: What I wanted to do working with the Alliance was to try and work with the talent, to try and get some organization in the backstage ranks, and to communicate directly with the wrestlers themselves. Of course any promotion, no matter how charismatic the lead is, depends on the individual wrestlers.
[Another pause.]
Conarri: And there's no reason that I can't do that same thing here in Defiance. So I'll be working with Mr. Dane as Head of Talent Relations, hopefully taking the stress off both the other wrestlers, and Eric himself. And in the future, there may be some sort of affiliation between my Wrestling Inferno training camp and Defiance, much like the one I had with the late great Old Line Wrestling. We're just trying to figure out what is needed and work out the details.
[Pause for applause.]
Conarri: Oh yeah, and I'll be sharing host duties for Defiance TV with Angus Skaaland, as you saw on Episode 3.
[He steps away from the podium to polite applause.]
Dane: Now, I believe we’re down to the last piece of news. Starting today, the Confederate Stock Exchange is no more. While it was an interesting concept, it was a numerical pain in the balls. We will be replacing it with a more traditional top ten list of singles wrestlers, and top five tag teams.
In these new Rankings, the top five ranking individuals will be able to challenge the Defiance Heavyweight Title at any given time, and the top two ranked tag teams will have the opportunity to challenge for the Defiance World Tag Team Titles.
The way to move up the ladder is simple. You beat a guy, you get his ranking.
Plain and Simple.
It is my hope, and our belief, that this will cause for some much more heated rivalries as it pertains to contention for the two top titles inside of Defiance.
The full list of contenders will be made public later this afternoon, but one thing I can tell you is that as loathe as I am to say it, Cancer Jiles will be named the Number One Contender, and as such will be recieving a shot at Aaron Vasquez on the next episode of Defiance TV.
[More hands shot up. Dane, having already hit all of his bullet-points, decided that now was as good a time as any to go ahead and get to the Q&A portion of the afternoon. A reporter rose, and as he waved for a question, Dane pointed, and called on him.]
Reporter #1: Jerry Franklin, WWAunderground.com. What will become of the men holding WWA Gold? Boston Bancroft, Joe Drago, and Jesse James all are now contracted with DEFIANCE. What will become of the WWA World Heavyweight Championship and the WWA World Tag Team Championships?
[Jerry sat, pen at the ready.]
Dane: You know, that’s a good question. As far as the World Tag Team Titles are concerned, I’m going to recognize them immediately. The Dragon Cowboys made a statement at Tag Wars, and then they came directly back home and they made a statement at the end of the last episode of Defiance TV.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of The Foreshadowing, that Sawyer kid alone makes me a wheelbarrow full of cash on merchandise alone, but they were upstaged and outclassed by the Cowboys.
As such, the DEF Tag Team Titles have been absorbed into the World Tag Team Titles and will henceforth be recognized as the Defiance World Tag Team Titles.
As for Boston Bancroft and his title, well, I guess you’ll just have to tune in to Defiance TV to find out the answer to that question!
[As Dane looked around for another reporter, he pointed to one he recognised.]
Reporter #2: Fred Meltzman, Pro Wrestling Reviewer. Do you have any news on Victor Mandrake, and his frightening threat towards you and your staff?
Dane: Mandrake is a twinkie. Next.
[Dane chose another reporter.]
Reporter #3: John Hitchcock, Yahoo Sports. How do you feel about the rumors that DEFIANCE is going to grow too big, too fast?
Dane: Somebody has been whispering rumors of Defiance’s demise since the day before anyone even knew I was going to open a promotion. And you know what, they’ll continue. But let me tell you one thing, my name is Eric Dane, not Benjamin Halkum, and I know a thing or two about pacing.
Defiance will grow at the pace that is best suited for Defiance, and it will continue to grow for as long as I am able and willing to continue on with it.
How about one more?
[Dane chose one final reporter.]
Reporter #4: Jun Hiyao, SPORT magazine. Will DEFIANCE ever go international, tourwise?
Dane: That’s another great question. As you know, Defiance has a healthy relationship with Pro-Wrestling FURY in Japan, and I’ve had many a late night chat with Kazuma Fujita on the subject of Defiance coming to Japan. That, in allocation with ESEN’s ties to Japanese television, I’d say that there is a definite possibility of seeing a Defiance show, hell, maybe even an entire season, emanating from Japan.
As for the rest of the World, you just never know, now do you?
[With his final words out, Dane stepped back, and bowed lightly, before turning on the morbidly expensive heel of his shoe, walking offstage to the right. Left in charge of closing this down, Angus Skaaland strode up to the podium.]
Angus: We’d like to thank you guys for coming out today, but for fuck’s sake we’ve had a hard couple of months, let us catch a break, eh? For any further questions, contact our public relations people. Until then, that was Eric Dane, I’m the Mouth of DEFIANCE, Angus Skaaland, and that over there is my new arch nemesis Cito Conarri! And we’re out of here, bitches.
[Dozens more hands shoot up.]

Dixie Carter Press Conferance``xtnaowner``x(The stage is set. The background in up and the podium is standing in the right place. The background has the TNA logo on it as a pattern. Out in front of the stage are chairs set up for the media and wrestlers of TNA wrestling. In the back sets Rob Terry, Aj Styles, Christopher Daniels, Velvet Sky among others. The camera flashes start to pop as Dixie Carter walks up the ramp to the podium. The whole time she has a smile on her face.)
Carter: Ladies and Gentleman I would like to thank you coming to the first TNA press conference. In the coming weeks there are going to be a lot of firsts. Next week we will be having our first TNA Impact live from the Impact Center here in Orlando Florida! Then after that we will be having our first Pay Per View, Champions, feuds, and so on.
But the reason why I called this press conference is to announce that next Thursday will be our very first Impact, and who ever joins before ten(10) pm central time tonight will be in the show. Who ever signs a contract after will be on the next. But we may still be able to use you next Thursday on Impact. You never know.
Also, I would like to say, the next wrestler to sign with TNA will automatically get a TNA Global title shot at our first Pay Per View Victory Road.
So in closing I would just like to say thank you to all that have signed a contract with us. Also tune in next Thursday as the very first Impact!

After a shocking ending to the Eric Herrera and Dave Brickheart match Mr. Hendrickson came out to make a blockbuster announcement. Since Frostbite obviously wants more competition for his UCW World Heavyweight Championship Mr. Hendrickson decided he would give it to him. He paired then competitors Eric Herrera and Dave Brickheart together to face off against the also interfering and UCW Hall of Famer Marty Donovan with the current UCW World Heavyweight Champion Frostbite. But that's not all If Herrera and Brickheart win they BOTH get a shot at the champion at Halfway 2 Hell in a Triple Threat match for the UCW World Heavyweight Championship. BUT if Frostbite and Marty wins Marty Donovan gets the chance to shine against the Champion for his Championship. Who would Frostbite rather face, and will Marty do everything he can to win or will he be yet another man Frostbite needs to look out for.

After coming to save Amy Miller from a beat down on Crisis the Wilds Side (Nikki Monroe & Selena Wilde) pair up with her to face Embassy members Brandy Danielle and The Sinclairs. Will the shocking loss of her championship cause Brandy Danielle to go off the deep end or will it light the fire under her.. Will the Wild Side and The Sinclairs pair off and battle as well.. This match is highly combustible and will be one hell of an opening match!
Cash Allan versus Herkules Singles Match
After their confrontation of Crisis III Cash Allan and Herkules have a chance to settle some unspoken business. Will the Zodiac be unleashed upon Herkules or will the power of the Hobo God's shine brighter than the Zodiac's darkness.
Thirteen and Trent James are two of the most successful in UCW history. They both have held the Television and World Championships, proving that absolutely anything is possible. They injected some much needed prestige into the Television Championship along with giving us several five star performances. But one thing they have managed to do is avoid facing each other. With Mr. Hendrickson hell bent on punishing Trent for his actions, there's plenty at stake. With a win, Trent can kill two birds with one stone. He can jump back into the World Title scene AND make Mr. Hendrickson realize the error of his ways. Will he succeed in his goal or will Thirteen force him back down two rungs?``xLake Charles Civic Center, Louisiana``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xUCW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x06.10.2010``xhttp://s7.zetaboards.com/The450/topic/8285595/1/``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Reloading, A Semi-Authorized Investigation of the Greatest Show on Earth (Part 2)``xNFW``x"Listen, are we freaking out about Erik Black ripping tubes in his living room while watching Avatar? No."
Fiona Love has been part of New Frontier Wrestling since the beginning and she’s barely turned 30. You look at her and you know she’s seen everything possible in this business, which is why President Mayfield has ingrained her into an Executive Producer role for television and Vice Presidential role in Marketing.
As the fabled right-hand woman of Craig Miles when he lifted the NFW out of a bar in Baltimore to it’s global popularity, she probably had no choice on seeing many things she’d never wish on someone else.
"Erik’s an entertainer, I’m not going to preach to the choir about weed for my own personal reasons, but he knows the rules and it’s our job to deal with them. He can either be smart about the rules and our office isn’t going to call him out for anything else except how he can help sell our tickets."
Fiona wryly smiles, "Or he’s not that smart and willing to lose the biggest paycheck opportunity of his life. It’s weird thinking that I’m starting my second decade here, but listen…" Fiona takes a deep inhale of air, sighing afterwards. "I partied with everyone Aidan Campbell to Nova to seeing one of Zane’s Circus celebrations…I’m not that girl anymore because it’s dangerous to my long-term health. A lot of the guys and girls who walked into New Frontier never thought like that, still don’t think like that…and let’s face it, the man who created New Frontier Wrestling never wanted and never will think like that."
Love’s smile fades away thinking about her mentor, "But he’s gone and to be honest, it’s a whole lot better to deal with a stoner taking bong hits and rocking on his Nintendo DS than Felix Red nodding out on heroin or damage controlling anything that Creed or Marcus Cameron committed on the road. I’ve bailed out plenty of people on some serious assault and battery charges for this fed at 3AM…and that’s not exactly how anyone should be spending their life."
NFW’s drug policy isn’t taboo, but it’s touchy. It’s new, it’s different for everyone and it may not be the worst thing to happen to anyone in their lives. I’ve felt like I’ve done acid after some NFW shows, and to my knowledge, I’ve never intentionally tried acid.
Live shows lasted more hours than you ever anticipated since Miles liked bringing in surprise bands to play for an hour or two. My first show…I thought the show had started from the crowd roars, only to find GWAR was playing in the ring. I had to ask someone if this was an NFW show and got offered pizza toppings, a flask of Jack and a fist in the air as they yelled "NOVUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Fiona laughs at this story of mine, "Did you figure out what the pizza toppings were? I heard that’s how Miles got him signed." Fiona quotes the air, "It’s not delivery it’s DiShroomo."
That was how I met the Hyperspace Kid as he like many other NFW fan favorites would be IN the crowd for any bands they liked.
"The Western Conference was a communal war zone. Disinformation was the information, so nobody trusted anything and knew where the battle lines were drawn. It was like living with 15-20 Vikings that wanted to get fucked up together and then try to kill each other. You crossed the lines when you had a hankering for fun…the Eastern Conference I wasn’t around for…but I can’t imagine that Michael Manson had any more rules than Craig Miles."
"Meaning there wasn’t any?" I ask rhetorically and Fiona nods.
"Wrestlestock I is all you need to watch to see how many rules there were in the West, that’s all I know." Fiona says with a small smile, I relate to her that I passed on it because I thought I might die after I heard about the weather.
"The derby was CGI, right?"
Fiona says nothing with a devious smile.
Joe the Plumber, Impulse, Rook Black and the Hollywood Wrecking Crew passed their drug tests, Fiona showing me the validity of the records and documents…which may or may not be a breach of employee confidentiality. Then again, what’s written on your NFW contract is usually a very, very difficult read.
"I was surprised that Eddie didn’t know about our ESEN contract expiration date, but Eddie’s just starting to care about our history so it can be forgiven." Fiona momentarily checks her blackberry for a message and continues, "Miles signed it as 9/9/09 ‘cause he figured if NFW made it that long, we flipped off the devil and lived to tell about it." Our discourse on contract renegotiations and how the drug policies, the newly structured wrestler contracts, production costs of agreement and general operations showed how much The Office of NFW has dramatically shifted since September of last year.
"Preexisting guaranteed contract are under Miles’ usual terms of agreements and we’re trying to hold onto any that we…" Fiona pauses and smiles, "…are legally allowed to proceed with according to our new legal analyst. I had to hire one," Fiona laughs adjusting her black-rimmed glasses with a disbelieving shake of her head, "Miles would kill us if he found out we really hired a lawyer." Fiona’s laugh and smile relax as she then looks me in the eye, "But that’s where Miles could cut costs and where Eddie’s…" Fiona smiles, "…focused on other things."
For any of us that had fault with Eddie Mayfield, you also have to understand that Craig Miles worked with an office staff of two since 2005. Before that, Quentin Sullivan still worked for New Frontier Wrestling as it’s President…and we all know how that went.
"It was me and Jimmy. I think Jimmy holds the Guinness record for how long he’s been an intern at one company and how many Guinnesses he’s been forced to chug while stamping documents as Miles goes through them on a combination of weed, whites," Love touches her nose, "and whiskey. Miles lived in a stream of consciousness that connected with NFW that was his job. Eddie’s job was to be it’s President after he’s gone and I think Eddie finally understands what he was BETTER than Craig at…and some things you can’t be unless you’re Craig. I mean, Miles’ mother…and this is just legend told to be by McGinnis after a couple of shots in New Mexico."
Love leans back and shakes her head, "Someone mothered by a big-time LA rock record industry legal consultant that cleaned up Zeppelin’s Riothouse and fathered by the promoter that conjured up the 1978 Crusher Cody vs. Carribean Kid feud should never have been allowed to be born into life."
President Dennis Edward Mayfield on the other hand, was born from the South, he was a latch-key kid and his only family is the single mother that brought him up on her own. He came from a different world than Miles, but they shared many of the same tastes and beliefs when it came to wrestling.
"Eddie’s heart is in that ring, I’m sure if he wasn’t our President he’d be itching to get back in an NFW ring in some way." Fiona smiles, "He’s Eddie Mayfield, he likes the spotlight. But he doesn’t have the demons down deep like Craig did and he took the full test from Craig. He didn’t have to keep standing in Dallas, he did. He went through with everything, he could’ve tapped and they would’ve played it off down the road…but Eddie’s a wrestling traditionalist first and foremost."
I’m glad I’m recording this, Fiona’s speaking gets faster as she thinks out loud. There’s no emotional overtones, a matter-of-factness in her observations.
"Craig got in that ring as the known owner, Eddie’s making sure the shows stay entertaining...but he knows that for NFW to flourish, he needs to cultivate or find the talent." Fiona pulls out seven plane tickets, "Eddie’s got to go to 3 NFW shows and 4 scouting trips in the next two weeks. That’s where he’s cutting costs, he wants to find his own pipelines. Miles did it by selling himself in the ring, Eddie’s doing it by what he wants to see in it."
We’re touring the newly renovated West Wing of New Frontier Wrestling Headquarters. They’ve increased their guest lounge to include a glass walled conference room should an interview request happen. "Miles only held interviews on the road, he came to the offices for two straight 20 hour days a week."
I get full disclosure on some failed drug tests…and not surprisingly, Shawn Hart’s entourage leads the league. "Black got caught for weed, but he’s had 60 days since his last test and we’re giving him a shot. Same thing for Flyer…I mean that’s not totally surprising, none of them were."
"Joe wasn’t surprising?"
"If Joe Plummer is huffing down canisters of Glade that’s his deal, he may talk about drugs…but until you start seeing it in the results, just remember we still are in the business of entertainment. We don’t want to completely abandon our audience."
The corporate office, "The West Wing" has been completely changed. Standard cubicle walls are gone and it literally looks as if they wanted to build the office version of a CIC in the middle. Complete with hanging flatscreens, projectors and monitor wall.
"We’re tuned to ESEN and ESEN classic at all times, we’re reviewing A LOT of scouting tapes every Wednesday morning. Eddie feels the need to randomly shout out ideas regardless of whether anyone’s around, so I got rid of the offices and cubicles. That spirit’s always been what’s important about NFW let alone what can make it awe-inspiringly entertaining and chilling to put together. It’s that weird core of ideals, we pretty much hang out in the middle…yell and cuss at each other and from there, we’re trying to shape the future."
Love smiles saying the next line, "the New Frontier. It was always about staying ahead of the curve, Miles got so far ahead in his own head that he was playing chicken with everyone. I think Eddie is more of a President, he’s just going to stay enough ahead to show everyone who’s in the lead."
It’s a big statement since the staff of the office has only increased from a trio to a dozen. Most everyone’s young, hungry and in some way connected to the beginning. Jimmy the Intern is now Jimmy the Tech. Responsible for figuring out how to archive every nook, cranny and detail into the internet, your phone and your television.
Natrone Rice has signed a contract to be the lead host and co-director for NFW Brawl, reshaped for today’s media and now being simulcast through satellite radio and television. Aside from Love, Rice and Jimmy, nobody on the staff is over 30 years old.
"I think all our position titles reflect the fact we multi-task so much. Even Eddie’s, whether anyone believes that."
I ask if Mayfield’s blatant partialism is a conflict of interest for the long-term development she seems to be speaking so strongly about.
"Joe the Plumber isn’t being tested every show because he passed his first drug test, even though we all think that Eddie would’ve used the propaganda’s hype to further any agenda he’s got on cameras. On the other hand, Castor Strife is being tested every show he’s at because he FAILED that test. He’s lost 20 pounds because he’s not on the juice. Castor Strife is supposedly one of the first wrestlers Eddie would support because he breaks the rules. Now, that’s all behind the scenes. In front of the cameras at Crash 50, Eddie Mayfield was in position to SCREWJOB Joe the Plumber..."
Love laughs and continues, "Instead, he raised his hand in victory."
For a moment, I’m convinced. No wonder she’s in charge of marketing, I just bought that Eddie Mayfield wasn’t the bad guy.
Maybe, there’s no bad guy in it. Just a new direction, a new mindset, a new beginning with many new faces.
Maybe, it’s just two words that still bring a smile to every legend in the industry.
Maybe, it’s just a…

Reloading NFW: A Semi-Authorized Investigation of the Greatest Show on Earth (Part 1)``xNFW``x
"A Tale of Two Presidents"
He was quiet, while the rain poured outside his new office overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Quentin Sullivan sat in the same office as a man that betrayed him personally and as a Professional, but he could only shake his head and smile.
“I look back at the early days and leading to the Ultratitle and I now understand that Craig Miles was never trying to be my friend, so there’s no reason I should have thought of him as one. And it’s not like he ever hid that, I just didn’t want to see it. I never could…nobody should see what that man sees. And there’s only one man that understood what the vision was…he didn’t want to see it, he didn’t agree with it, but he accepted it. I couldn’t.”
Sullivan turns back to look at me, the smile fading to a wearied sigh. “That’s why Craig chose Eddie to lead New Frontier Wrestling.” The man once known as “Sully” to so many New Frontier Wrestling, leans back in his chair, looking up in thought. “Craig wanted to see if I’d fight for ESEN, as much as he trusted Eddie…he either figured if I wanted this bad enough, a balance would be created for the future.” Sullivan’s eyes linger for a moment, any trace of enthusiasm removed from his face for the moment. “Or he’s testing Eddie, maybe I will get fooled again.”
*.*
Slipped into the dirtsheets, never mentioned on the website…on September 9, 2009, ESEN announced that New Frontier Wrestling had decided not to renew their contract and would be negotiating with outside vendors. Rumors swirled around Eddie Mayfield’s lack of staffing and increasing production expenses, while the announcement of Quentin Sullivan returning to ESEN even increased the media fervor.
How did Sullivan get back in?
Was he tearing everything down?
…and why? Ratings were off the charts, attendance was phenomenal on the road, Crash 50 was the highest rated Crash TV in history.
President Dennis Edward Mayfield declined to comment for this story, but it was two days before Crash 50 that Quentin Sullivan won back his name in court. A stock ownership recognized and wrongful termination suit settled shortly thereafter, Quentin Sullivan was recognized as President of ESEN.
Two presidents and two media entities that used each other to build each other. ESEN had grown exponentially on the international level during the Ultratitle, a big-time fed crossover marketing and promotion strategy allowing them to build a considerable cash foundation. It allowed them to gain the rights to CSWA Classic Programming, future start-up/indy Next Level Wrestling for a wise buy-in and tied them in as a secondary or tertiary provider for Empire Pro, fWo and many other big-time promotions.
“ESEN was big, I’ll always concede those things to the past regime.”
Just hearing those words from Quentin Sullivan was odd, seeing how much he recognized this was even stranger. He was supposed to be part of that regime, he was the one that was supposed to build the kingdom.
“But nothing was streamlined, nothing was off-limits. Sanctions, multiple lawsuits, we were forced to show certain programming only at certain times and that became restrictive. Eddie and I do see eye-to-eye on one thing, I hope…I really, really hope that we do.” Sullivan took of his glasses, wiping them and looking me straight in the eye.
“This whole thing was a freight train running out of control, there was going to be a point where something bad happened, where someone would do something too outrageous. ESEN is the only place willing to touch fWo at this point and that’s only because we have a lot of friends there. NFW wasn’t far from a bad overdose or accidental death, I truly believe this.”
On September 10, 2009, one day after the contract with ESEN expired, New Frontier Wrestling learned that things would have to change. DirecTV was tired of broadcasts going over the time limit, but had tolerated it due to the ratings and advertiser cashflow. Other networks were demanding stricter limits on obvious things like drug testing to actual input on the direction of broadcast shows as well (and shockingly) development of new talent.
Sullivan waited, but also held firm even as he literally sat in the East Wing of what’s address read “New Frontier Wrestling Headquarters.”
“We occupied 25% of the building with 75% of the employees in the building. I don’t even care if that was the case, we were both going to hold ourselves accountable.” Sullivan smiles, “I’m not trying to be the bad guy, but I’m not crazy. The crazy years, the anything and everything will happen attitude was the force that built the youth of New Frontier.”
I shake my head in agreement with that notion, which gets Sully to chuckle.
“Yeah, we passed one decade with a wild ride, but the second will take more planning…it will take more than one man doing everything. That’s not safe for the business, it’s not very efficient either.”
Around Thanksgiving, NFW was looking at offers from F/X with possible FOX SUPERCRASH agreements, a full-time partnership with TBS and TNT and even a rumored complete RETCON experiment debuting on HBO with voiceover narratives and off-camera fictional dramatic entertainment.
Once again, quietly through it’s promotional advertisement for the AFTERMATH DVD Edition for CRASH 50, ESEN and NFW announced with one line, “All-new LIVE PROGRAMMING coming SPRING 2010!” People were puzzled, but anticipation grew even as it’s own wrestling roster’s frustrations grew. There were no guaranteed contracts in place except for the champions and newer hires. Somewhere in the negotiations process, President Mayfield made his bold moves against the roster.
Immediate drug tests to anyone contracted, failure to comply without a guaranteed contract was grounds for termination. Several failed, Felix Red being one of them and after being presented with random drug testing, walked out and hasn’t been seen since.
“That was part of our agreement. Anyone that shows up on live television will have to submit a random drug test within 60 days of the event. Eddie never minded that in any of his negotiations, but when he’s seeing all types of suits only willing to make deals with creative control contractual agreements…” Sullivan smiled, “Like I said, I’m not a bad guy. As long as you follow some simple rules for my business, I will let you run the show.”
“So, you’re not going to be on the shows?” I make sure to emphasize the right word, with a wry smile to make Sullivan give me a respected nod.
“I’ve been on the show, but I’m not here to entertain anybody. I’ve got a business to grow, I don’t need to bump into Rich Garfield on Eddie Mayfield’s account. Craig split the office space for a reason and I’m pretty sure if I cross over into West Wing territory I’m not in good enough physical shape to handle it.”
“How much will you interact with Eddie Mayfield?” I ask the question, trying to pry any emotion or tell that Quentin may provide to his perceived role in NFW’s operations.
“I will interact with Eddie only as a representative of ESEN, I don’t even plan on attending many shows. Maybe five a year, I still have my family and I still have SLICE.” Sullivan smiles as I laugh, shaking my head at his newest production on what some American fans dub affectionately “Friday Night Hello Kitty Catfights!”
I ask Quentin with a few more redirections on his information of New Frontier Wrestling’s future and I find that’s he’s genuinely not sure. He expects a streamlined product, a more efficient structure, but you can’t change who you are.”
“Listen, maybe ten years ago I was willing to sit at a bar in Baltimore with five other people and be crazy enough to be part of NFW forever. It was me, Craig, Wildstar, an intern named Jimmy and the person you should be talking to about the future of NFW. She might be the only one left.”
“Who?” I ask after trying to stretch my brain for an answer…
“She took the notes back then, I imagine after her new promotion she’s finally not doing that…” Sullivan smiles and reaches into his desk, pulling out business card. “Here, I think she just interofficed me just to give her own little warning to me,” Sullivan flips the card onto the table. “I’m getting veiled threats in an office and people are expecting me to order hits against 265 pound freaks of nature.”
I look at the card.
Fiona Love, Executive Producer and Vice-President of Marketing.
I blink a couple of times in shock.
“That’s who sent me my Crash 50 tickets. I thought she was just a Production Assistant.”
Quentin laughs, “Well, yeah…she was the only one that could write down notes as fast as Craig Miles thought. Until recently, I didn’t understand that either until I started dealing with her during production meetings.”``xEkZkkFuylyIlTRigHG``x1272238286``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com/``xEWTorch's Ted Caldweller gives us a rare glimpse behind the renewed and RELOADED New Frontier Wrestling after nearly divorcing from ESEN upon Quentin Sullivan's return.

RA Palazzo Responds to Canyeta Challenge!``xWFerraro``xRA Palazzo Responds to Canyeta Challenge by Stan Jorgensen Headlock.com
NLW President RA Palazzo responded Sunday to a challenge issued at last week's Golden Boy Grand Prix by semi-retired pro-wrestler Carlos Canyeta.
In a taped commercial segment, Canyeta and ally Arcangel IV put out an open challenge to the NLW roster to fight Canyeta in a street fight outside the Manhattan Centre. The fight, presumably, would take place at the next two TV tapings for the bi-weekly Friday Night Vulgar.
When asked for his take on the challenge, Palazzo did not mince words.
"It's a [bleep] joke. He's out there trying to paint me as a racist, my company as racist, meanwhile he's the biggest con-man going," said the NLW President. "Did you know we actually offered him an eight month contract and an opportunity to compete in the tournament? So he rejects our offer out of hand, and that makes me a racist? [bleep] him."
Last week's challenge was not the first time Canyeta has interfered with NLW programming. At both the first and second televised shows, the former lucha libre champion entered the ring uninvited along with Arcangel IV, and lobbed accusations of racial favoritism at not only NLW, but other wrestling companies such as NFW and UWA, the league where Canyeta made his name as World Champion.
"We're not some hip indy circuit organization who's trying to push backyard wrestlers to the big leagues. We draw major interest all over the east coast, looking to do shows along the Potomac down the line, and just signed a major television deal with ESEN. You think we need this [bleep] right now?" Palazzo continued, "ESEN execs have already contacted me; they think we're in on it, and want the racial stuff toned down. His stunts are not only hurting us, but also his chances at working anywhere else. You think people want that baggage?"
During the late 90's, Canyeta was consistently ranked among PWI's top five wrestlers. After UWA folded in 1999, he went back to Mexico where injuries and rumored locker room incidents plagued a career that was ended abruptly in 2005. Canyeta has since claimed political blackballing and racism as the reason for his shortened career.
"He wants legend status, plain and simple. He wants me to kiss his ass and offer him a contract way above what I'm paying more relevant competitors. So like anything else, it's about the money," Palazzo said. "Look, if Eli Flair came to me tomorrow and said he wanted to wrestle, I'd put my house and future child up as collateral. That's a legend. I'm supposed to get down on my knees and beg for Canyeta, why? Because he was champion of some organization that's been dead for over a [bleep] decade? Get real. Compare this guy to his contemporaries. Guys who held the same titles as him went on to have truly legendary careers, but he pissed it all away and somehow that's my fault?"
Palazzo said he will address the situation with some finality at next week's Friday Night Vulgar in a special edition live show, to be aired after the regular program. Canyeta could not be reached for comment.``xEkZEylkuyldkgXDeAe``x1271686068``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/forumdisplay.php?466-NLW-Next-Level-Wrestling``xNLW President RA Palazzo responded Sunday to a challenge issued at last week's Golden Boy Grand Prix by semi-retired pro-wrestler Carlos Canyeta.``x``xNLW logo copy88.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x20881``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNLW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Gareth Kenneth will be taking on the ever-loving Santa Claus in our third match of the night... Gareth might end up on the naughty list this year, but who cares!? We want war, and let these stars clash!
The fourth match is going to be just as exciting, as the starstruck epic-loving O'Kato goes one on one with... a Chicken? NO! He is taking on MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ROOST in the final Race To Echelon I matches of the night!
Now... everyone please bow your heads and pray... as our main event of the night is a "Get Cruxified In A 3-Way Horror Match" which pits Jen Blackhart against Valerie Belmont and The hottest MVP in recent history...

xCW: Open Doors!``xxCoreW``xxCore Wrestling is owned by Davey Decay (or you can call him Double D); who recently just got lucky and won the Jackpot over at The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He has invested his newly found fortune into xCore Wrestling… and now with the recent announcement that xCW has finally opened it's doors, Davey can finally live his dream of running a successful Wrestling Federation.
"xCore Wrestling is a Wrestling company based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. We hold our weekly shows at the MGM Grand and hold our Pay Per Views at either the MGM Grand, or at the Orleans. The concept behind xCore Wrestling is provide a small-time Wrestling Company that will expand across the United States over the course of time, and then head across the seas. We will be starting from the ground up to become a successful company." Davey said to reporters during the opening ceremony, he also talked about the new concept behind xCW, such as Rankings playing a huge part in how the talent earns title shots.
Others, such as General Manager, Courtney Dodge, have been heard talking to the press as well, with thoughts of pure excitement!
"Everyone backstage is excited, we're new, we're fresh, and we're in need of talent, we're in talks with some hot stars, but we also know we're only regional right now, with shows at the MGM Grand and The Orleans out here in Las Vegas... but still, we're excited and looking forward to who we can get to the top!" says the new General Manager. "No doubt xCW is going to be big, but how fast it does depends on who has the stones to take the chance with signing with us. It takes real talent to give another company a shot, I've seen it done, but, we will have to wait and see who will actually do it."
With rumors flying of strong competitors joining alongside xCW, it shouldn't be long till they produce their first ever Card for their weekly syndicated show, Cult, which airs every Sunday Night on Fox Sports Net.
On a final note, Davey Decay stated "We're looking to change the way wrestling is viewed, how every process is done. We need support from the communities to bring this business to a whole new level. I know what I want, and I am confident that with this concept, nothing will ever be the same again!"

Main event of the Chicago supercard signed!``xRep``xNEWARK -- The main event of PWA's first worldwide television supercard has been announced. On February 28th, LIVE on The CW Network, the PWA World Heavyweight Champion Chris Williams will team up with "The Badger" Robert Garland, to take on the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Michael Smart, and his partner... the PWA World Television Champion Roc Anderson.
In what could possibly be the biggest match that PWA has ever promoted, topping the first ever World Heavyweight Championship match, it will be the very first match in PWA history where both Champions compete on opposing sides. It is the first PWA match to feature both Champions AND the number one contender. It is also the first tag team match in PWA history where one set of partners both have managers, and the other side do not (Williams has a valet, but she does not regularly come to the ring with him).
Along with major speculation as to what the match stipulation will be, PWAwrestling.com has issued a statement proclaiming that the match will go on under No Rules conditions. A No Rules match is best described as a match in which all of the traditional rules of wrestling do not apply. This simply means there are no disqualifications, which itself eliminates count outs, the barring of interference, and rope breaks.
PWA wishes to invite everyone who enjoys professional wrestling to bare witness to one of the wrestling events that the world will be talking about for a long time to come. CHICAGO STYLE airs on The CW Network on 2/28 at 10 PM.``xEkyyykVyEEZtXyNfHU``x1266629211``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://premierewrestling.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hotline&action=display&thread=300``xNEWARK -- The main event of PWA's first worldwide television supercard has been announced...``x``xpwabutton3.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xPWAlliance``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

When feds the world over, hold you by the balls and tell you that you're going to play by the antiquated rules and you're going to LIKE it, and that there is no place for you to express yourself fully, there is NOW a place for you. When feds refuse to change with the times and tune up their format, there is now a place for you to go where you are free to express yourself creatively and out-of-character. YOU shape and sculpt the fed in your OWN image. The fed will go where the MAJORITY leads it, not the minority. Everyone now has the opportunity to make a name for themselves and liberate their creativity in a territory where you will be REWARDED for your writing and not for your name.
In a world where the lazy are rewarded, and in a medium where creativity has gone down the drain... the PWA is here to christen ACTIVE and DEFENDING champions. To break the mold and make the future. The PWA is a place where TRULY anything can happen, and amazing things DO happen. We began in December 2007 as a subsidiary brand. We were thought of as the "jobber" show. In just one year, we climbed from featuring old wash upped hand-me-downs from the main brand, and nameless rookies that weren't ready... to a land of opportunity, where men became icons. Now, two years later, in December of 2009, we will be dead set on making sure that icons... become legends.``x``xRP-Angle Hybrid``xBiweekly``xDecember 2007``xAccepting applications ``x``x``xNot currently``xPWAlliance``xPremiere Wrestling Alliance``xRep``xnostrildamus101@gmail.com``x``xYes``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xpwabutton3.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x
Marx v. Price At One Shot at Glory``xSwift``xOne Shot at Glory.
The Championship match has been put in motion, Jonathan Marx, long time wrestling legend will face off with Landon Price in SWIFT MMA’s first ever championship showdown. Each man will ever The Cage with no title, but only one will leave as champion.
Jonathan Marx has been on a winning streak ever since he became the centerpiece for SWIFT: MMA. With a TKO victory of David Abby, submitting by rear naked choke Edward Rain, then going on to beat Eli Scheinberg by TKO victory, to his last fight nailing a rolling leg lock for another submission victory over Bobby Walker, Marx has shown he is the most dangerous competitor in MMA today.
Well…that’s until we met Landon Price.
The MMA fighter is now two and zero in The Cage and was able to neutralize the most intense stand up punch for punch fighter Liu Kuan.
Kuan who had two victories via knockout and holds SWIFT: MMA’s fastest knock out record was a sure winner for the bout.
The week prior, Price made SWIFT history by being the first fighter to ever win a decision victory, two men who have both made history in the main event at Retaliation Five was a sure seller. Most fans saw Kuan as a pure knockout king able to topple Price.
Price however won the bout in decision fashion twenty-nine to twenty eight on all three judges’ cards. So now Price, the only fighter to win in two decision matches will fight a man that has never had a fight enter the third round, and this is for the SWIFT Championship?
My mouth can’t be shut until we see these two men trade major shots. So far the betting lines for this fight are:

The Announcement Japan Has Been Waiting For``xThrobbinWood``xTOKYO, JAPAN – Today was the day the Japanese wrestling media got back on it's toes and flocked to the former Rising Sun Wrestling Headquarters, now with a new crest at the front and a new name. Isamu League first opened up shop last Wednesday, bringing a major wrestling product back to the Japanese market ever since the closing of RSW in September 2008. The man behind “The IL,” as they've been pushing to be known as, happens to be the mastermind behind RSW's consecutive SWA Promotion of the Year Award winning campaigns in 2004 and 2005.
American-born Joey Clerk shook up Japanese wrestling's tradition and shocked and appalled many, but he had an award winning product that stamped his way into the Shootclub Hall of Fame, only to find his way out after the SWA Board of Directors found his content to be too graphic. Being stubborn, Joey went forward regardless of warning, and that was to be his last days as RSW's behind-the-scenes Promoter.
“I sat around too long,” Clerk said at the press conference today. “I wanted to take time off from the business and charge back up. When you have something as great as RSW was, and then it's taken from you, you don't know what to do right away. You don't want to do anything too soon because you put yourself out there, everybody sees you're hurting, you want to be somewhere else... So it was best for me to just fall off the planet for a few years.”
“They ran a storyline about me being linked to some murder,” Joey laughed. “That's about as real as having my younger brother [Sam] promoting the league when I was promoter the first few months, years, however long it was... I forgot a lot of the RSW stuff, actually. You'd be surprised at how limited my memory of the place is.”
“I hope to continue the spirit,” he said proudly. “This is The IL, it's going to be the past meeting the present. My booking will be the same as it's always been. Technical masterpieces, insanely gory deathmatches, I'll let the inmates run the asylum as long as they don't screw with me, and we're going to create something special.”
With Japanese billionaire and notorious socialite Goro Yamashi financially backing the upstart promotion, Joey's resources are endless. The IL may only have one competitor officially signed to their roster, but it's a name everyone knows – former New Era World Heavyweight Champion and SWIFT-fighter-on-the-side “Gentleman” Jonathan Marx.
“Marx is an excellent talent, always has been and always will,” Clerk said of Princeton, New Jersey's very own. “He's tearing up the MMA world right now in SWIFT. His last fight ended in controversy but I won't get into that here. All I know is that he's going to be joined by some impressive talent. He's a legend of the game, but he's never seen anything like what we're going to do here.”
There have been plenty of names swirling around the rumour mill. It wouldn't be a Clerk-run league if former SWA World Heavyweight Champion and “Mr. RSW” himself, Riddick, wasn't in the mix. It's no secret that Joey and Riddick are great friends. Riddick was bitter for years after Clerk had been banned from the SWA, and eventually got the same punishment for the same offences. He didn't make friends with the Board of Directors when he accused them of fixing the results for “200 Proof” Adam Edwards, but he gained a lot of respect from people all over the wrestling world.
“Is Riddick coming?” He restated the journalist's question with that trademark Joey smirk. “You're going to have to find out. Hey, I have until our first show in March. I'm not giving away all of the secrets now! I have over a month until then. I gotta keep you fuckers guessing until then!”
Former SWA United States Champion Nate Narwin is on the payroll, but is said to be on as a colour commentator. Narwin, the highly graphic superstar who got the same ban as Joey and Riddick, was booted from the SWA when his sexist comments were followed by opening a beer bottle with a woman's private parts in the middle of the ring during an Empire State Wrestling pay-per-view. There have been questions on whether the beer drinking, cigarette smoking wildman can be contained at the announce table, and if he might end up in a match.
“I personally think Narwin could wrestle for the next decade,” Joey said. “He was United States Champion and in the World Top 10 two years back. He's in his early 30's. The man has recovered from a life-threatening car accident and achieved so much afterward. He'll finally be allowed to say whatever he wants, but for now – he's hired on as a commentator. We don't have any plans for him to wrestle at this moment.”
There is one more man that hangs on everyone's mind - Hiero Takeuie, one of the greatest faces Joey Clerk ever had. The Tokyo native carried a cult following, winning a host of titles in RSW and being one of the biggest opponents to Joey's reign of terror. Fans recall his reckless style, putting his body on the line every time. In the world of wrestling, many guys claim to never tap and say that they would rather pass out first. Those words are always proven wrong. Hiero is remembered fondly for not only staying true to those words, but for never bragging about it after. Should Hiero step foot in The IL, a very emotional ovation is to be expected from the Japanese wrestling public.
“I haven't talked to Hiero in years,” Joey's voice lowered. “But I've been calling him. He hasn't picked up. I've been trying everything to reach him, so hopefully he picks up a newspaper or watches the television and sees this.”
There have been plenty of other rumoured names, but Joey said he wasn't going to address all of those people. But he had one warning shot for the world.
“We have the ability to do something special,” Joey stated confidently. “When our first edition of Lessons In Bloodshed airs in March, you will see. If anybody in the world... I don't care if you're a former World Champion, I don't care if you're a janitor... If you think you can step into the madness and piss in the wind, feel free to join us. We are the people's promotion, and nobody can take that away from us.”``xEkyuuyyZkpaPWVlqfJ``x1264470320``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/forumdisplay.php?488-IL-Isamu-League``xTOKYO, JAPAN – Today was the day the Japanese wrestling media got back on it's toes and flocked to the former Rising Sun Wrestling Headquarters, now with a new crest at the front and a new name.

``xSWIFT: MMA brings the fights even bigger this time around as we invade beautiful San Diego, California on our second stop of our “Gold Rush” tour! This is the last stop before SWIFT makes its way over to San Francisco for its first Pay Per View and all the fights are on display as SWIFT moves away from our regular three fight card to a five fight showdown!
SWIFT will host a double debut fight as Don Gotti goes toe to toe against Ryoshi Hayatamei and Mike Konda steps in the cage with Akeem Winters. Which fighters will become undefeated.
The Crown Heights Assembly has shown the world how truly deadly it can be when Jimmy Luzzato snapped the arm of James Rollins at Retaliation Four. Now their team mate Tyrone Brand will get his chance to show his methods for victory against Heath Stone. Can Brand pull off the same feat as Luzzatto, or will Heath “Youngblood Stone” shut him down.
Two big fights are also under way as Liu Kuan faces against Landon Price to advance to One Shot at Glory for a chance to fight for the SWIFT: Championship at One Shot At Glory.
Will Landon Price end the Grim Reaper’s winning streak, or will Landon Price after a fantastic display at Retaliation Four send the Grim Reaper to his resting place?

Shiner Tries To Pull Plug On SWIFT``xSwift``xSWIFT: MMA almost was shut down by Shiner LLC on Friday when Shiner stated that Colin Corvitz’s SWIFT was under producing in merchandise and general ticket sales.
After many hours of deliberation, Shiner LLC pulled the plug on SWIFT MMA, stating, “It’s not working.” Colin Corvitz has decided that SWIFT: MMA will become a standalone company.
SWIFT: MMA is now a privately owned company!
Congratulations to Colin Corvitz and the SWIFT roster for this. After a few days delay, Colin Corvitz has announced Retaliation 4! Continuing with booking fighters in round robin fashion to find two of the top fighter to compete for the Championship at the first SWIFT Pay Per View Corvitz announced his displeasure for SHINER LLC.
“During the months before the launch of SWIFT and the piloting programming that we had Shiner has always been more concerned with revenue than delivering a sport.”
With that Corvitz will lead SWIFT with a “Gold Rush” tour of California making their way to five cities starting with Los Angeles then going to Sacramento, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco.
SWIFT still seeks more talent to its operations as the roster is slowly growing. ``xEkyFyyyEpFGoxpfGHS``x1263669703``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://swiftmma.fwrestling.com``x“During the months before the launch of SWIFT and the piloting programming that we had Shiner has always been more concerned with revenue than delivering a sport.”``x``xSwiftMMA.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xSWIFT``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

``xUUCW``x``xEkykZuyVFktQRYlEjB``x1262750132``xleague``x16381150604590``x``xhttp://uucw-online.co.cc/``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xHere's a little information about the UUCW and the world the UUCW exists in.
First, in this world Professional Wrestling is a legit sport. It's as real as football, hockey and the MMA. So there's no kayfabe as each wrestler is an athlete not a "sports entertainer". What you see in the UUCW ring, in terms of its wrestlers, is at face value. Heels are heels and faces are faces in and out of the ring. Gimmicks are merely extensions of the wrestlers real personality. If you see a heel in the ring, he's more then likely just as big of an asshole in everyday life.
With all that being said, a little about the UUCW itself.
As stated previously, profession wrestling is real in this world. Thusly, the action is just as real. Rather then wrestling simply being an exhibition as you know it now, it's an actual competition and the blows are real. Think of it as stiff, or shoot wrestling. Punches really connect, kicks really hurt. Now of course there are rules inside the UUCW just like in the wrestling you watch on tv. Eye gauges, biting and shots to the junk are illegal.
Now unlike most wrestling, the UUCW prides itself on it's unique take on the sport. Mixing wrestling styles from across the world into it's own. Combined with many wrestling styles, the UUCW has added some aspect's of MMA to create an exciting and continuous action filled matches. Gone are the day's of the slow, boring and dull matches.
The in ring guide lines are as follows.
No rope breaks. That's right. If you're stuck in a hold or being pinned, the ropes wont save you. If you can't get yourself free from the predicament you find yourself in, then you're screwed.
No ring out ten count. You want to fight outside the ring? Go for it! Just remember, you can still be disqualified for using weapons and you can't win outside the ring; Unless the match specifies otherwise.
You can win/lose your match by pin fall, submission, disqualification and knock out. I told you earlier, the UUCW added aspect's of MMA into professional wrestling.
Titles can change hands in the same manner you win/lose a match. Yes, even by disqualification. This prevents the champion(s) to intentionally get disqualified to save the title.
Tag Team matches will be wrestled under "Lucha" rules. If one member of a team exits or is tossed out of the ring, another member can enter the ring without a tag. This keeps the action moving and fluid.
All holds (submissions, chokes etc) must be broken by the end of a ten count. Perhaps the most controversial rule the UUCW has, but in retrospect, one that makes sense. If you cannot make your opponent quit within ten seconds of securing a hold, then you have to release it. Now, there's nothing stated that you can't immediately secure the hold again. This rule is put into place to keep the action moving. Nothing kills a great technical and fast paced match like a needlessly long hold. Anyone remember the days were it was common place to see a headlock for five minutes? ``x``xRoleplay-based``xBiweekly``x01/10``xAlways accepts applications``x``x``xYes``xUUCW``xUnited Underground Championship Wrestling``xAlexander Cross``xmurderis_chylde@yahoo.com``x``xYes``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Colin Corvitz CEO of SWIFT has announced that with the semi-success of the pilot Retaliation show featuring former NEW World Champion Jonathan Marx that the second show should be gain some momentum.
Problem is that SWIFT is carrying only one major name in the sport, Jonathan Marx.
With as much promotional power as SWIFT has and has been dishing out trying to get any other professional wrestler to join its ranks all negotiations have failed.
Mainly the professional have been stating that the have no interest in Mixed Martial Arts, Corvitz just believes they are in a potion of fear.
"They don't want to get hurt, end of story. They would rather throw fluff punches and kicks then actually take a spinning back fist to the face." said Corvitz when I asked about the lack of interest in SWIFT.
So far a lot of restructuring has been taking place just to keep Corvitz dream alive, and as Shinner LLC the overall company that financially backs SWIFT see's the applicants fall so will its money line.
All in all, some people have to leave the wood work and join SWIFT to get the ball rolling, hopes are that it actually happens.``xEkyEuAAypkjGZBzzpi``x1261503202``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://swiftmma.fwrestling.com``x``x``xSwiftMMA.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xSWIFT``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

A Dose of EPW``xChad``xIt's a quick shot of what's been going on in EPW, compiled by yours truly thanks to Mike Stanton. (Who ever thought I'd say those words?!)
The Champ
Everyone's favorite Blue-Eyed Bandit, Sean Stevens has managed to stay atop the Empire the entire year, since taking over the title at UNLEASHED in December 2008. At Wrestleverse III, "Triple X" retained the World Championship by fending off both JA and Rocko Daymon in a triple threat including two former champions. After that match, JA retired from the sport and Daymon has been stuck in a slump ever since.
The Contender
Marcus Westscott won the right to be called the #1 contender, defeating former champ Anarky with some help from Craig Miles and Ice Tre. While defending his top spot and defeating Jared Wells, the champ decided to make a house call, leaving Westscott laying in a brutal attack.
After once again proving he deserved to be the top contender by defeating Cameron Cruise, Westscott called in his chip, demanding a roofed steel cage match against Stevens at Russian Roulette. That match ended in yet another Stevens victory, and in retirement for the contender Westscott.
The Stable Wars
The heels have ganged up to try and take their 'rightful' spot at the top. Making it known that Empire Pro is their playground, the massive force of Cameron Cruise, Shawn Hart, Jared Wells and Larry Tact created a group known as Anthology, wreaking havoc and winning titles. Their momentum picked up as Cruise captured the Intercontinental Title with help from his newly-reveal stablemate Copycat.
The World Champion was targeted, leading to an unlikely tag match where Stevens joined The First against Copycat and Cruise. When Shawn Hart made a mistake and cost the Anthology team the match, he was hung out to dry in a match against the First. When he quit Anthology, he was brutally 'exited' from the group. But Sean Edmunds was on hand to take his spot.
Realizing that Anthology would take them out one by one, a new stable was formed. HOPE was created when the First, Layne Winters, Anarky and former Anthology member Shawn Hart joined up. Their first order of business was having Hart take the IC title from Cruise.
But the one missing player? The World Champion. Sean Stevens made his allegiance known recently, joining Anthology and kicking Cruise out of the group. After Anthology team members Tact and Edmunds lost to the First and Fusenhoff in a recent tag team main event, Stevens led Anthology in leaving First laying.
The Future
AGGRESSION 49, coming soon, gives The First a chance at revenge against Anthology member Jared Wells. John Doe takes on Aran Dishon. A five man Scramble for a shot at the IC Title gives Anthology a hope at a chance to take the title away from Hart. The stable war continues with HOPE's Anarky and Shawn Hart taking on Sean Stevens and Larry Tact in the Main Event.
All that leading up to the celebration that is AGGRESSION 50.

MMA Hits FWrestling.com``xChad``xPRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SWIFT MMA, subsidiary of Shiner LLC
As the sport of Mixed Martial Arts begins to grow in popularity worldwide a company has embarked on the footsteps of others to create an MMA experience like no other. Colin Corvitz CEO and Owner of Shiner LLC a company that promotes amateur MMA companies decided it was time for Shiner to make its beginning steps to creating it’s own MMA Company.
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you SWIFT: MMA.
The idea behind SWIFT was not to promote just MMA but to work in conjunction with professional wrestling companies to deliver a sharp edged knife. Hell, we all like when we see a guy get KOed via Superman Punch in MMA and we have to admit we do enjoy watching some Tag Team battles with some tables.
No, I am not suggesting SWIFT is going to have a T.L.C MMA match in the center of their cage, but with its open doors policy to professional wrestlers that want to prove they are legit fighters (or can be legit fighters), who can resist?
I mean honestly, I myself am a huge Empire Pro and Worlds Finest Wrestling: The New Era fan (second to MMA of course), so nothing would spark my interest more than seeing Shawn Jessica Hart go toe to toe against Cameron Cruise in a real fight!
Sorry kiddies, wrestling is staged, not saying that hitting that ring doesn’t hurt or getting hit with a chair is a jolly good time, but I am certain watching a guy like Rocko Daymon lock in a triangle choke on Copycat would raise a ton of tension while I spill my beer on my wife in excitement.
So what’s next for the newly established MMA company? I asked Mr. Cortviz the same question, his response:
“[SWIFT] just got on its toes a few weeks ago, just got our licensing and all our corporate paperwork in for gaming commissions. So, next on the agenda is recruit, recruit, recruit! I want to spark something new in Mixed Martial Arts, something rarely seen and that can be put on a level that it can even compete with the elite wrestling companies. Once we get enough fighters in at least one weight class we will begin to run our flag ship show Retaliation on MMA-HD TV Channel 238.”
“I find it great that people will be able to see their favorite fighters 24/7 on this channel we have secured”
You heard him right! 24 hours a day 7 days a week a fighter can go right on your TV set on SWIFT’s personal network channel 238 MMA-HD TV.
“I think people are ready for it, I think they want this and they need this. People are sick of the story lines, the gimmicks, the falsehoods, they want to feel like they are actually accomplishing something, so, here’s their chance to prove that, in my cage.”
SWIFT has began its open door policy almost immediately, from professional wrestlers to amateur MMA fighters. All I can say as a huge MMA fan is, someone better get ready because the gates of hell are about to open. ``xEkVAVulkZEwMBTePHa``x1259551871``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://fwrestling.com/fwc/forumdisplay.php?f=460``xAs the sport of Mixed Martial Arts begins to grow in popularity worldwide a company has embarked on the footsteps of others to create an MMA experience like no other.``x``xSwiftMMA.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xSWIFT``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

FWrestling/Child's Play: Jay's Story``xChad``xPlease take a minute to read a note from Jamar Short, a long-time handler in FWO, CSWA and EPW, about how his family has been affected by one of the hospitals Child's Play supports:
Brooklyn Kennedy Short was born prematurely on January 17, 2009, at 29 weeks, weighing two pounds, 8 ounces. As most people know, my second daughter, Joy was born at 24 weeks, and was one pound, five ounces, so the fact that my wife had another premature child didn't come as a shock or surprise to our family. What happened afterwards did. Joy – by the grace of God – grew up to be a perfectly normal little girl. Most of the issues that premature babies suffer from, through prayer, and good fortune, missed our baby girl, so naturally we expected the same recovery from Brooklyn, but we didn't.
Brooklyn was born at a small hospital in Milledgeville, Georgia and shipped to the Macon Medical Center in Macon, GA where they kept her for close to three months. One of the things that I noticed was that the staff there didn't seem to care, and always made us feel like we were a burden, whenever we would call or come to see our child. Another issue that I had, was that I'd see things – like her head growing extremely large in a short period of time – that didn't seem quite right, and would be told by doctors that it's a category one, something or another and that we need not to worry, however, whenever she would be transported to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to see the doctors who would perform her surgeries, they'd inform us that she was in desperate need of a blood transfusion, and that the issues that were so small and of zero importance in Macon, GA were severe and required immediate attention in Atlanta.
I thank God for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. They performed two successful surgeries on my daughter, one being a major heart surgery with three ailments that have never been seen at the same time, in one child. Brooklyn is on the recovery trail, and she's functioning like a normal baby girl, albeit a little behind, and I think a large part of it is prayer, love, more prayer, and the good ladies and gentlemen of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Thank you Chad for raising awareness, thank you for caring, and thank you for reaching out to me to tell my family's story. There are children that stay in these facilities for six to seven months out of a year, and every donation allows them the opportunity to participate in something that allows them to escape the sad, unfair and sometimes cruel reality of life.
God bless you.

FWrestling Gives Back: Child's Play Charity``xChad``xYour normally slightly boring front page at FWrestling has been taken over for a good cause!
Child's Play is a charity created by the webcomic gurus at Penny Arcade in 2003 that supports children's hospitals worldwide. Last year, this online gamer created charity raised $1.4 million.
Child's Play works directly with over 60 children's hospitals around the world, creating wishlists of video games, toys and movies. The gifts sent directly to the hospitals are used to help children in treatment while they're sick, away from home and often bored. In many cases, children must remain in isolation as part of their treatment. Even when they don't, very often there aren't enough toys in the hospital playrooms for all the patients.
Starting this year, I decided to try a little experiment. For years, the broader Fantasy Wrestling/e-wrestling community has talked about where to coalesce and put its energy -- usually focused on events, titles, debate, etc. This year, I thought we should put our money (literally) where our mouth is and support children in need. The CSWA was created when a 12- and 13-year old got bored over spring break one year. Rather than watching another set of reruns, we decided to create our own game based around wrestling. I can't imagine if that boredom had been compounded by chemo treatments, constant tests and being away from my home.
In the days ahead, I'll be posting more about Child's Play, including a story from one our own about how his family was directly impacted by one of the hospital supported by the charity.
On the front page of FWrestling.com you'll find a Chipin widget that directs you to Paypal where you can make a donation. At the end of the drive on December 25, I'll be submitting those donations directly to Child's Play in the name of our community (communities?). I'll post updates on the forum, as well as information and proof of the final donation so you can see the final tally.
If you have any concerns using Paypal, please let me know, or simply go to the Child's Play website where you can make a direct donation or select specific gifts through hospital wishlists on Amazon. We won't be able to track your gift specifically as part of the FWrestling donation, but that doesn't matter as much as making the donatino itself.
If anyone has ideas on how to add to this drive, please let me know. I'm certainly willing to promise to get a certain CSWA card done by a certain date if that spurs anyone to donate. I'm sure we can all come up with some ideas to encourage folks to get involved.
I know this is a long message -- but despite my general lack of time these days, I've enjoyed being a part of this community for so many years and being able to provide a site and place for you to connect. If you ever wanted to help "pay me back" for the costs in hosting, software, etc., simply say "thank you" by making a donation to this important cause.
Thanks all.

NEWSWIRE 11/08/09``xnapw``xNew Alberta Pro Wrestling has celebrated its fourth anniversary, and now enters YEAR FIVE.
*The Lethal Lottery event takes place November 10th in Calgary. Who will emerge from the event the 2009 BATTLEBOWL winner?
*Following his arrest at AAIV, Lloyd Rees has been committed to a local psychiatric hospital for evaluation and treatment. No word on when, if at all, Rees will be released --- much less wrestle again for NAPW.
*On November 24th, STYLE CLASH will have their work cut out for them. First, the team of TABOO and CHAD KURTIS will challenge BLOOD HARVEST for the NAPW Tag Team Championship. Then, in the MAIN EVENT, Kurtis will challenge Taboo for the NAPW World Championship!
*NAPW has signed newcomer The Kumquat Kid.
*Trent Daniels has gone MIA and will not be booked for the forseeable future
*With his Heritage Championship win over Bruce Richards, DONOVAN ASTROS is the latest individual to join the NAPW Triple Crown club. Astros has previously held both the Tag Team and World championships.
*Rumour has it a major name from NAPW's past will make his return in November.``xEkVZZpVEZAOSnyJjwW``x1257708779``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``xAll the news coming out of one of NAPW's biggest shows of the year!``x``xnapw88x31.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

SCCW NEWS:
THE TEAM OF PAUL CAIN AND RIFLEWILLY IS NO MORE!!! Paul Cain has let it be known the last two weeks that if Riflewilly keeps failing to garner victories, then he will become a liability. After their loss this week, Cain has eliminated any liability when this monstrous man, who we have been told is Damien Kahn, attacked Riflewilly, injuring him after the match. Word has it that Cain has some really evil things planned in the future for SCCW.
TFWF SUPERSTAR GEORGIE NICKLES IN SCCW FOR A SHOW!!! Georgie Nickles, top wrestler for TFWF, Roughkut 2009 Hall of Fame nominee, current semi-finalist in the Experts Extreme Tournament, perennial pain in Miss Lewis’s ass and now SCCW wrestler…for one night anyway. Georgie Nickles has signed a one off appearance to wrestle this week in SCCW (more on that below). What Miss Lewis will say about this is not yet known but you have to know she is not happy. These two have history going back a while in TFWF and now with Nickles teaming with the rival of “The Hellcat” in Scarlett Willis, that is just another way for Georgie to stick it to Kirsta.
PATRICK McCARTHY HAS STILL NOT SHOWN UP IN THE SCCW STUDIOS!!! McCarthy after his vicious match against Jay Jerzey for the BARBARIC title still has not shown up in the studios or the SCCW office. Rumor has it he might appear this week (August 17th) at MNA, but right now that is an unsubstantiated rumor.
UPCOMING CARD:
Darrel l Leon vs. Blade “Vamp” is new to SCCW and its rings with a hell of an opening match. Blade is a former champion in Roughkut Wrestling, still looking to make his mark in Simcoe County. This should be a match to watch.
BARBARIC Championship Jay Jerzey (champion) vs. Rex Masters (challenger) After winning the belt in what can only be called –the- most bloody and brutal in all of SCCW history, Jay Jerzey is going against doctor’s orders and defending against Rex Masters. After an alright showing in the BRAWL match itself, Rex is trying his hand at the BARBARIC division. Jay has been quoted as saying “the belt will not leave his possession until it is pried from his cold, dead fingers.” Rex has been quoted as saying “Hamma ton, innna soo mana da bel…. HAHAHAHA”. Not sure what it means, but I think it means the belt is his.
Scarlett Willis and TFWF's Georgie Nickles vs. J. Brooks/Paul Cain TFWF’s Georgie Nickles has been seen hanging around backstage for the last week. This week she has been contracted for one week, one match. SCCW’s sweetheart and TFWF superstar Vs Paul Cain and Justin Brooks. Why Brooks is teaming with Cain, we have no idea, but Cain has stated in private that Brooks’ world is about to be overturned, as is the rest of the SCCW.
Myke Adams and A. Steele vs. Sydney LaRoux and S. Hessingstock SCCW Heavyweight champion and All Barrie champion facing off on opposite teams with the number one contenders to their belts across the ring as well…. Should have very interesting implications in regards to the winner.
MAIN EVENT (non-title) BROS vs. War Machine This is the first match since War Machine has won the titles and it is against BROS (Dr. Ian & Greg Venom). BROS is known throughout the wrestling circles as a tough as nails team. Surely a win, even non-title Vs the champs will earn them a title shot.

Genesis Presents - Danger Zone Live On Pay Per View! ``xmrparasyte``x``xEkuAuppEFuDJLQXoEV``x1249403734``xevents``x33021091825623``x``x``x``x``x``x``xDangerZonePoster.jpg``x``x``xThunderdome Match for the Genesis Championship between Ryan James (c.) and "The Natural" Sean Tyler
``xGenesis took over the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Mississippi on Monday August 3rd for the Danger Zone Pay Per View.
The card started off with a Strap Match between Thunderosa Jr. and Xavier Byson. Though the match was fairly evenly fought Xavier Byson eventually got the upper hand when he hogtied Thunderosa Jr. and rolled him up for the pin. Adding insult to injury Byson then tore Thunderosa Jr.'s mask off and tossed it outside of the ring. The next match on the card was a Bloodletting Match where elimination is determined by bloodshed. In the end it was Jim Rooster who came out unscathed.
After this Dylan Forster came out on top in a Barbed-wire ring with light tube post match against Bill Liden. Next on the card was set to be recap footage of the finals of the 2009 G-Credit tournament however it was interrupted by a video showcasing a new star by the name of Kayden Daniels. Speculation is swirling as to whether or not Kayden is related to the former Genesis Champion Jack Daniels.
Once the footage of the tournament finals started to play we saw a fairly even match between Dylan Forster and Genesis owner Jayson Burr. As the footage was playing it was interrupted leaving us all clueless as to who was the victor. The scene then faded to backstage where "The Natural" Sean Tyler was visited by a female acquaintance by the name of Erin. Erin showed concern but Tyler seemed confident.
The next match was a hardcore double debut featuring Desy Extreme getting the win over Tyson Halloway. The feed then focused on our announcing team who announced that something happened to the tape of the G-Credit finals leaving us all in the dark with respect to the winner.
All hell broke loose in the next match when Dr. Baby and Jessica Pagan went head to head in an S&M Club Brawl. The match took an interesting turn when a bouncer from the club realized there was an underage person in the club who wasn't authorized. The bouncer hurled Dr. Baby out the side door into the side of the adjacent building. From here it was only a matter of time before Dr. Baby was curled into the fetal position crying.
Then Three Doors Down took the stage and performed their hit single "It's Not My Time." After the performance Jayson Burr made his way down to the ring and gave an explanation for the hardcore nature of the Pay Per View. His reasoning was because Genesis has secured a television deal and as part of the terms of that deal the violence level would be closely monitored. He then announced the new Television Championship which will be defended on a weekly basis.
Things were interesting in the next match when the schizophrenic Future and his alter-ego Will took on "Ace High" Cameron Sky and Yung-Holie. Future appeared to switch between his personalities several times throughout the match and he picked up the win even though he was outnumbered.d.
In the next match Wynter became the number one contender for the Rising Star Championship when he delivered the Cold Blast through a table. The next match was inadvertently controversial when a gay man, Vincent Kane defeated a black man James "BigTrouble" Kendrix by hanging in the Hangman's Horror match to retain the Rising Star Championship.
In the main event "The Natural" Sean Tyler and the Genesis Champion Ryan James stepped inside an electrified steel dome known as the Thunderdome. The match went back and forth several times before Tyler was able to put James away with a Down To Earth through a table making him the first ever two time Genesis champion. Be sure to tune in for Genesis 19 when James gets his rematch for the title.``xMississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Mississippi``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xGENESIS``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x08.03.2009``xhttp://www.gfedwrestling.com/GFed/events.py?league_id=219&event_id=10641``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Sharlene Berger v. Kirsta Lewis Winner: Miss Lewis has had a rocket fired under her in order to get as many wins and as much a mental advantage going in to BRAWL for the heavyweight belt. She has the momentum so far.
Emanuel Jackson v. Scarlett Winner: Scarlett Willis showed why she is a former SCCW tag champion by taking on the much bigger Jackson. They both go into BRAWL with a chip and a grudge.
Alexander Steele v. Justin Brooks (Brawl qualifier match) Winner: The match was declared a draw and both men made it into the BRAWL. While both guys fought to the hardest level they could, there is no doubt they are the dark horses in the BRAWL.

BRAWL IS IN 6 DAYS, NEW CHAMPION CROWNED MORE``xCory74``xSix days until Bunkhouse BRAWL where 15 people are facing off in a no holds barred, bring what you can, use what you must, barbed wire rope, battle royal to determine the new SCCW heavyweight champion. Fifteen wrestlers who list includes two former SCCW Heavyweight champions, 4 former tag team champions, are all ready for not only their shot at the gold, but the actual gold itself. On a card that only has four matches; every one of them is a title match, super card of SCCW gold. More on the card itself later.
NEW CHAMPION CROWNED In her title match, right before BRAWL, Sydney LaRoux upset inaugural All Barrie Champion Riflewilly to lay claim to the title. By this win, she right now is on top of the world and is the –only- champion crowned in SCCW. It was a hard fought battle that saw Riflewillys partner Paul Cain come down to the ring, surprisingly to crown the new champion and leave a very unnerving message for his partner in the All Barrie Tag Team Title match. All in all, LaRoux sits upon a lofty perch as Queen of SCCW.

Emanuel Jackson v. Scarlett Winner: Scarlett Willis showed why she is a former SCCW tag champion by taking on the much bigger Jackson. They both go into BRAWL with a chip and a grudge.
Alexander Steele v. Justin Brooks (Brawl qualifier match) Winner: The match was declared a draw and both men made it into the BRAWL. While both guys fought to the hardest level they could, there is no doubt they are the dark horses in the BRAWL.
Ladder Match for spot in Brawl: Myke Adams v. Grim Winner: “The Suicidal Superman” took what was needed and is in the BRAWL, taking down GRIM in a decisive fashion.
Main Event: Sydney Laroux v. Riflewilly (All Barrie Championship) Winner: Sydney LaRoux defeated Riflewilly and took the title in what could be match of the night.
SCCW NEWS There is some serious dissention in the ranks of Paul Cain & Riflewilly’s tag team. Paul expressed his severe lack of impression when his partner dropped the All Barrie title belt this week. Their tag team could explode without it even getting really started.
Patrick McCarthy has ended his two week losing streak by defeating Greg Venom who now is on a two week losing streak. However Venom, who in his team with Doc. Ian, has heat with both the participants in the BARBARIC championship match at BRAWL. Could there be a three way for the belt coming soon?
Two newcomers in SCCW are looking to make their mark. One is a former Roughkut Wrestling Tornado champion in Blade, and another has some ties to Myke Adams, and a long lasting “issue” of sorts with Patrick McCarthy, in Samuel Hessingstock. Both are participants in the BRAWL match itself and both are looking in making their mark in a major way, right from the get go.
Former SCCW Heavyweight, and tag team champion SPIKE is returning for one match only at BRAWL. Spike will be participating in the bunkhouse brawl itself. Could the man who has disappeared for over 3 years be able to take out 14 others? Is he hungry enough to do so? It has been done before.
In shocking developments, both Jackie Daniels and SCCW legend Guy Kadon were turned on by their mentor/protégé respectively and taken out of the SCCW. Both wrestlers were hurt and the extent of their injuries is unknown at this time. All that –is- known at this time, is neither will be participating in future SCCW events any time soon.
UPCOMING BRAWL CARD August 3rd 2009 Live at the Molson Arena
All Barrie Championship Sydney LaRoux (champion) Vs Modo WHOA! (challenger) The battle between these two have waged on for months. It started out with Riflewilly and the All Barrie Title and turned into a personal fight over who would be the one to take this belt into the next chapter. Modo WHOA! is a man people refuse to take seriously, LaRoux is a woman people see as Jay Jerzey's squeeze. Both have something to prove.
All Barrie Tag Team Championship War Machine Vs Cain & Willy The finals of the SCCW All Barrie Tag Team Tourney has come down to it all. Riflewilly, having been a disappointment to his partner last week in losing the All Barrie title, has been warned this week to not repeat. War Machine has stated -nothing- will stop them from tag team gold. Can Cain & Willy stay together throughout the match, or is it downhill from the first bell?
Barbaric Championship (Winner is 1st Barbaric champ) Patrick McCarthy Vs Jay Jerzey In 2006, the two started out as partners, best of friends until Jay Jerzey had to leave the SCCW. McCarthy went on to become one of SCCW's biggest fan favorites and superstars nearly holding every piece of gold we have. Fast forward to 2009. Jerzey returns to find there is no space in Patrick McCarthy's life for them and he was replaced with Scarlett Willis. The ego could not deal with it and it started to fester. Now two months later it comes to a head, not for the final time, but for the first time in a match for the most brutal title in SCCW history. One may not even make it out alive.
Main Event BUNKHOUSE BRAWL (winner is SCCW heavyweight champ) Participants ADAM - X, Alexander Steele, Blade, Dr. Ian, Emanuel Jackson, Greg Venom, Jen Blackheart, Justin Brooks, Kirsta Lewis, Myke Adams, Rex Masters, Samuel Hessingstock, Scarlett Willis, Sharlene Berger, Spike

BUNKHOUSE BRAWL IS ONE WEEK AWAY!!!``xCory74``xRecap dating back to Redemption…..2006
Commercial Advertisement……..
Jim Wilkins It seems that the tag team of Chris Champion and Jen Blackhart is a team that others had best take seriously…..
Image Blackhart and Champion defeating Dirk Bentley and Kirsta Lewis…..
Ryan Antonelli Everyone knows if you touch ‘The Squeeze’ you’re going to have to deal with Champion
Image Galactix touching Jen Blackhart……
Audio and video Chris Champion standing in the ring, then he begins talking….
Chris Champion I told you before, whatever you do, don’t put your hands on ‘The Squeeze’. Now, you’ll have to deal with me.
Image BunkHouse Brawl…..
Silvermane and Galactix work together to eliminate Chris Champion and Galactix goes on to capture the win. Champion walks back to the dressing room, repeatedly turning around, glaring at Galactix.
Jim Wilkins If looks could kill, they would be arresting Chris Champion tonight. That stare, that glare is one of bad intentions!
Image Champion , Max Money, Kadon and Jen Blackhart in the ring all talking….
Max Money She’s holding you back Champ. You need to cut her loose.
Guy Kadon He’s got a point Champ. I don’t want to be the one to say it but that bitch…has got to go!
The words ‘bitch has got to go’ echo and as they echo the audio distorts to make it sound horrifying. The camera zooms in on the face of Chris Champion, who has become livid with the remark. Champion moves in front of Blackhart and has clearly now taken sides as Max and Kadon stand across from him.
Chris Champion It’s like I said before, NO ONE puts their hands on ‘The Squeeze’!
The camera again zooms in on the eyes of Chris Champion. In an uncharacteristic fashion, he glares at Guy Kadon but this glare is more of a signal than anything else. Then it happens!
Chris Champion Unless……IT’S ME!
Champion turns and almost decapitates the head of Jen Blackhart with a vicious clothesline. Jen’s body crumbles down to the mat and Kadon and Champion put the boots to her for good measure.
Jim Wilkins What the hell is going on? That son of a bitch! How could he do that? If he’ll do that to Jen Blackhart, there’s no telling what he’d do to someone else. This man can’t be trusted at all!
This year….at the Bunkhouse Brawl……evil in its' worst form…..treachery personified….MAY return……and if so….Heaven and Earth can’t prepare us from what hell is sending this way……
With one week away until BRAWL and the crowning of the SCCW Heavyweight champion, tensions are running high. With 3 people already qualified and another this week, add to those already listed to go in (those names will be announced over the next week on the SCCW website), everyone is looking for the belt. We have spectacular card with many surprises coming up. BRAWL is shaping up to be the top card of the year, something that has been a top draw every year.
SCCW NEWS
RIFLEWILLY TO RETIRE!!!! There have been some rumblings throughout Barrie, Ontario that SCCW All-Barrie Champion Riflewilly would be retiring at tonights MNA. Seeing as he is not scheduled to wrestle this evening it seems somewhat plausible. If he does retire what could this mean for the All-Barrie Championship? What has turned out to be a shocking rumor turned out it was Willy wanting his shirt retired. He is amassing a great deal of enemies in the last 8 weeks and coming into BRAWL, he is a bigger target than I am sure he wanted.
JAY JERZEY GETS ANOTHER PERSON PISSED!!! With a sneaky win over newcomer Greg Venom this past week, Jay Jerzey is heading into the BRAWL and a match with Patrick McCarthy. Rumors abound about Jerzey and his demands for his match at BRAWL. They range from a “Battle for Respect” match where the loser must say he respect the winner over the microphone, to a “First Blood” match, to a “Dog Collar” match. This week on MNA, the match and stipulations will be announced.
LEGACY CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE DECIDED AT BRAWL!!! The Legacy championship, a title that only the legends of SCCW can hold, who is the true legend of SCCW? At BRAWL we will find out. The participants for the match will be disclosed on MNA this week.
SCCW ALL BARRIE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE DECIDED AT BRAWL!!! War Machine (Chris Champion & The Machine) have their match against Paul Cain & Riflewilly in the finals of the SCCW All Barrie Tag Title Tourney that went on for three weeks on MNA. The odds on favourites to win are War Machine, however people have started to rally behind the equally hated Cain & Willy. It is more of a match between two evils with the crowd cheering on the lesser of two in Willy & Cain.
Last Week’s Results
Justin Brooks vs. Josh Phoenix Justin Brooks takes out another SCCW legend in Josh Phoenix. He is on his way coming into BRAWL as someone to watch.
Alexander Steele vs. Emanuel Jackson vs. Patrick McCarthy Emanuel Jackson dominated this match taking the win from perennial face of SCCW, Patrick McCarthy and Alexander Steele. Steele being the son of SCCW legend Jason Steele and nephew of Dom Steele, has big shoes to fill, but is coming in on his own.
Myke Adams vs. Grim Myke Adams defeated but was in the end set up by Grim and SCCW owner Jim Diamond. Myke is on his own in this battle with the owner. No real good can come from it.
Jay Jerzey vs. Greg Venom Jay Jerzey sneaks the win from this newcomer Venom, solidifying his having momentum going into BRAWL.
Riflewilly (c) vs. Modo Whoa (All Barrie non-title) Modo WHOA! has scored the victory albeit a non-title one over All Barrie champion Riflewilly. With this win, he has the often used momentum going in to his title shot at BRAWL, August 3rd.
Main Event Sharlene Berger vs. Jen Blackhart vs. Scarlett Willis vs. Kirsta Lewis (Four Way Ladies Night Brawl) In a match between the women of SCCW, Miss Lewis has came above each and every one of them with a solid victory.
This week upcoming
Greg Venom v. Patrick McCarthy Patrick McCarthy is coming off a two week losing streak and his feud with Jay Jerzey looks like it has no end in site. Newcomewe Greg Venom has had his own run in with Jerzey just last week. With BRAWL a week away and both men occupied, what will happen here? Venom wants a spot in the BRAWL, and McCarthy wants his hands on Jerzey. Both lost last week. This week is a pivotal week in their SCCW career.
Modo Whoa v. Doctor Ian Modo is coming off a non-title victory over All Barrie Champion Riflewilly. He has a title match at BRAWL. Doctor Ian is relatively new in SCCW, having been here previously for less than a month. Their styles clash. Modo wants the momentum going into BRAWL, Ian wants that elusive first win.
Sharlene Berger v. Kirsta Lewis Two women wiith a lot of history with each other throughout the wrestling world. Berger is already in the BRAWL with Miss Lewis looking to make her mark and enter it. Miss Lewis is a former Heavyweight champion and is widely considered one of the very best female wrestlers in the world today. Sharlene is her perennial thorn, having thwarted her at numurous times in various wrestling companies. This one will be for the ages.
Emanuel Jackson v. Scarlett Emanuel Jackson is making his mark, calling out The Machine, getting a victory over Jace Steele's son Alexander and Patrick McCarthy last week. This week he is facing off against the Internet's Darling, Scarlett Willis. Willis is in the BRAWL already, Jackson wants in. Can he keep his streak against SCCW's longtime roster?
Alexander Steele v. Justin Brooks (Brawl qualifier match) Brooks is on a huge role with a winning streak. Steele has been doing very well, with him trying to fill his father's shoes, the BRAWL will be a good way to get that recognition he craves.
Ladder Match for spot in Brawl: Myke Adams v. Grim Last week the two did not solve anything and if it was not for SCCW owner Jim Diamond coming down, they would have continued to fight. This week it is for Myke Adam's shot at BRAWL. Grim wants to ruin Myke. The "Suicidal Superman" just wants to go into the BRAWL in peace. What will happen when a ladder is introduced?
Main Event: Sydney Laroux v. Riflewilly (All Barrie Championship) Willy lost the non-title last week against Modo WHOA! guarenteeing he gets his shot at BRAWL versus the winner of this week. Sydney has more than cemented her place as a contender to the All Barrie title and now she has her chance.

Ego Check---Episode Two``xcposhek``xYeah, long time since my last ego check and all those random niceties that make people want to stop reading. Why am I here? Well let’s put it this way, I’m tired, in a bad mood and generally feel like writing about my passion. For those interested, I decided to take some time out to focus on other aspects of my life. Don’t let this business eat away at you. Otherwise it will eat away at you.
And that’s what many of the rookies in the ECWA need to pay attention. Seize your spot, an opening and take it. At the moment the ECWA is very fortunate, with a whole host of talented wrestlers coming in but that makes it harder for talent to shine. There’s too many to keep a track on, so make sure you’re good enough to really grab the audiences attention. It seems hard, when you’re in a new place and you have to get used to the way things work around here, I know because I struggled too.
Just ask my old boss Poshek, he’ll tell you that there was a point back then when I thought of quitting because I felt I couldn’t fit in with the large amount of quality talent that was on the roster. If I had have done, I’d have missed all the fun. I’m not as good as the top quality guys and to be honest I know I probably never will be, but look at where I am now and where I was then. And I owe it all to the fact that when I called Poshek he persuaded me to continue and with the level of compettion seemingly springing up from everywhere I feel that lessons need to be taught again.
And on the other end of the spectrum, no matter how many compliments you get you aren’t a god. You aren’t the best. That’s another thing which new talent needs to learn, if you’re head swells up to the size of the Grand Canyon than pack your bags now. The ECWA is a friendly place, we have a lot of fun and I think everyone will agree with me when I say we don’t accept political bullshit, so leave that at the door. And if you still decide to bring that shit here, than a long term of comedy jobbing is ahead for you and I hope you enjoy it. I’m not a booker, I’m not one of the powers at be and to be fair I have the same amount of pull as an old Granny does in a tug of war with Rugby players. I’m at your level, I’m just a guy who’s here to compete and enjoy myself. Whether you think of me as a peer, an idiot or whatever else, this is some friendly advice and some general feelings.
Now onto the completely random bits.
Currently, the ECWA might be in a holding pattern when it comes to talent. We need to welcome the new additons and raise the playing field. There are many talented stars, many of whom simply blow me out of the water but they must know one important thing. Forget who’s making an impact and focus on being the best you can.
Remember, I was with names such as Zack T and Mike Vincent, and I had to watch as they raced in the lead and I was left last in the race. That really worried me and really hit my confidence, but now I look back at it I’m glad I didn’t try to force myself up. I might have caught up with those two, though I really doubt it, but it would have probably ended up killing my enthusiasm and then there’d never have been anymore races for me.
There’s a hell of a lot of talent amongst the additions but some are at a different level to others and are making more of an impact. It is important that others know not to try and compete, but to try and learn and have fun.
And just before I end this edition of the Ego Check, may I send out my congratulations to everyone who has made last week’s Anarchy and Fusion’s cards look truly fantastic.
And that’s all from me until next time…this has been your Ego Check!!!!

Genesis lands #3 spot on the IRS Rankings for June``xmrparasyte``xDue to the work of the roster Genesis has been a great success, making it back into the IRS Rankings this time at #3 with an A Grade!
Special props go out to Exile who made the wrestler rankings at #3 overall with his debut roleplay. Also making the list for Genesis were Sean Tyler (#9), Seth Iser (#15), and 8BALL (#30).
Also this was a special edition of the IRS rankings where Icemann gave the top ten feds since the conception of IRS where Genesis came in at #6 with the following footnotes:
Genesis started as a feeder system for GWF, but once GWF exploded (or imploded, depending on who you ask), Genesis established their own name. There may be no management system on G-Fed better than Genesis's, and the talent continues to grow and improve.
The IRS is an independent ranking service for the feds in the Gfedwrestling.com community.

``xBuilding towards Genesis's third Pay Per View "Play Dead" the Genesis Champion was conspicuously absent from this card.

Seth Iser ran the gauntlet when he delivered the Injection of Poison on each of his three opponents in short time. When Chris Rayge no showed Lance "Killer" Lewis defeated Justin Flare.
After this Genesis owner Jayson Burr came down to the ring. He announced that Seth Iser would go head to head with Ryan James for the Rising Star Championship at Play Dead. He also agreed to allow James "BigTrouble" Kendrix to go one on one with "The Natural" Sean Tyler in a steel cage match. He also upset the fans by announcing that Lance Lewis and JCP will be the TWO contenders for the Genesis championship in the main event at Play Dead.
After this James "BigTrouble" Kendrix got the win over Dean Williams.

EWTorch Crash 47 Report``xNFW``xMarch 15, 2009 From Chicago, Illinois
-After a video package recap, we join Craig Miles and Dennis Eddie Hussein Mayfield in a New York City penthouse office. Miles has the NFW World and Television titles. Miles and Mayfield briefly mention the "bling bling" that Michael Steele and his posse had to pay out over Joe the Plumber. You be da man, Craig Miles! Well, actually, Mayfield be da El Presidente now. Eddie offers Heel I Can Believe In! Apparently, the president has installed hidden cameras behind all his wrestler's mirrors. Yes, perverts, Teresa has clothes on -- for the good stuff, you'll have to join NFW's "adults only" section. And we've got bromance, as Miles and Mayfield share a manly hug. Miles: "I’m not coming back unless I have to avenge you." Mayfield: "Then it’s settled, you’re never coming back."
-An awesome 1812 overture video package follows. Winter vacation is over, bitches!
-We've got explosions, and we've reached "ground zero." I thought President Mayfield was supposed to keep us safe?
-Sign of the night: Rook Black Confuses Me!
-Kerry O'Connor and Lamont Hollywood will (mostly) be your hosts for the evening. Mostly. They hype debuts and the card, including The Sears Tower match (which, if they ever do a sequel to this match in Chi-Town will have to be called a Willis Tower match thanks to those British bastards) and a 30-minute tag team ironmen match. That's right, I wrote ironMEN, even though they call it an ironman match.
-Inauguration time! We've got special ring decorations. A huge banner of Mayfield's face in red/blue, parodying the Obama "Hope" poster, is lowered. But instead of "Hope," it reads "HEEL"! Awesome. Hollywood brings out overlord, master, and president-elect of NFW (and the universe), Eddie Mayfield. Huge heel heat as Mayfield enters via limo with secret service agents. Where's Aaron Pierce? The crowd is on fiah for this segment thus far! Hollywood produces a "Heel Bible" (only $49.95, order now!). The awesome continues for the swearing in: "I Dennis Edward Mayfield, do solemnly lie, to swerve, steal, and poke out the eyes of all those beneath me. I vow to heelfully execute the office of New Frontier Wrestling. And will to the best of my professional standards, preserve, protect, and defend the wrestling revolution, if it is in my best interests. So help me heel." Victory smoke time! Camels are the Heelpublican's symbol, ya know..."Hot Stuff" leads to a stereo presidential strut.
HUGE POP as Joe the Plumber's music hits. Joe bowls through secret service and Mayfield's goons to more monster pops. THIS is like a ***** segment right here. Mayfield's facials are priceless. Joe takes out Hollywood and delivers a garbage disposal press slam from hell! Crowd wants more. Mayfield's awesomeness continues. Mayfield yells at Joe before he can nail Hollywood with a Shit River Plunge powerbomb. Joe needs to fall in line, which apparently means spitting at Mayfield. Joe wants his title. Mayfield: "You can't be powerbombing the announce team. I mean, maybe O'Connor, but not this one." Crowd: "UNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHH." Mayfield says he'll give Joe a proper coronation in a special Hollywood's On Fire segment. This is NOT cool with Hollywood, needless to say. Joe yells at Mayfield to end this hot opener.
- Coming soon: Monsieur Fantastic IV and Notthemountie!
- Meanwhile, Mayfield enters a replica of President Lincoln's theater box from Ford's theater. Well, aside from the blood and brain bits. Oh, he's just ASKING for it, gun-toting lunatics! Mike McGee is out and has some moderately-loud complaints for El Presidente. Then he busts into a disturbing Marilyn Monroe rendition of "Happy Birthday, Mr. President." No, not really. But I'm bored. McGee tells him to kiss his ass and stands for what's right. Mayfield = slightly annoyed.
1 – Bold New Disaster (Problem Child & Castor V. Strife) w/Jimmy Mylde vs. The Sicilian Swat Team (Cousin Vinny & Leroy Brown)
Calvin Carlton fills in as color commentator as Lamont sells his injuries. BND's entrance and intro makes me nostalgic for the old Dudley Boyz Gertner intros from ECW. Not because this is anything at all like that, just because I wish it was half as entertaining for the length we've got here. Yowza. Castor with a clothesline. Leroy runs into a belly to belly suplex. Castor with a German suplex with a bridge for two. At this point, Jimmy Mylde helps a blind man over the guardrail. Get that man a referee shirt! No such luck, however. Actually, he's the new BND play-by-play man, Blink Rogers, who gets right in on the action by calling a powerbomb (even though it was a snap suplex). Pretty funny moment as Blink calls various "loud" moves while Vinny's in a headlock. Vinny gets nailed with a top rope face buster (a.k.a. South Asian Muff-Buster). Sickle-cell neckbreaker and this one's over as BND pick up a win in their Crash debut.
WINNERS: BND. Decent opener, but nothing earth-shattering. The focus definitely wasn't on the wrestling. (*1/2)
- Up next is Legion's "Memorial Service" for James Varga. Legion mocks Varga. Jon Collingwood was expecting something "tasteful" from Legion? OK, I can only suspend my belief sooo far people! He's taken care of. Legion rants some more. We move along.
- Meanwhile, Lamont Hollywood is walking. An interview with "Just" Mark is interrupted when a bloody High Flyer emerges from his locker room. Flyer: "Masked guy…broke…my brain." We need medics.
- Teresa Quaranta, along with her hourglass and scalpel, are out to discuss Legion and the Looking Glass Match. She desribes the cage of glass as being a half-inch thick, soundproof, and bulletproof. And it's full of weapons. Sounds like my ex-girlfriend's house. Hiyo!
2 – Teresa Quaranta vs. The Devil's Rejects (Looking Glass Cage Match)
Madonna Wayne Grossard and Kooter-Michaels Cruise are on commentary. We pick up the action at 9:30 as a bloody Quaranta stands over Legion and Luci (who are in pools of blood and broken glass) with barbed wire bat in each hand. Nice visual if Tarantino is your cup of tea. Aurora Special on Legion gets a two as Luci breaks up the cover. Kooter: "MY WEE WEE DOES NOT HURT OR ITCH BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANY ESS TEE DEES." Madonna: "My wee wee hurts all the time, because I have lots of Ess Tee Dees…" Luci avoids a Blue Thunder Driver and nails a leg lariat. Kooter lets us know that pretty girls covered in blood make him feel good. While Luci sets up a table, Legion hits a Diet Pepsi Plunge. Then an Ace Crusher. The table is covered with broken glass as Legion hits a leg drop. Teresa reverses and nails a Spanish Inquisition Kick. I wasn't expecting that. NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisistion Kick! Luci nails a DDT, then a springboard moonsault press. Superbomb? HOLY SHIT. Teresa nails a hurricanrana through the glass cage! Luci connects with a flying thunder tiger plancha on Teresa. Kooter on commentary is pretty damn funny, but it's undermining the insanity of this match. And damn, that cage isn't looking very good. Luci hits a running springboard Devil's Advocate. Teresa is set up on the table. OH HOLY SHIT again. Shooting star press countered into a Process of Illumination through the glass-covered table for the pin.
WINNER: Teresa Quaranta. Um, wow. That was some sick shit. Hard to rate because I missed the first nine minutes and they were dragging from whatever happened earlier in the match. The commentary was entertaining, but took away from the match. Good for the vampires in the crowd, but not for the rest of us. (*)
- Next up, Dr. Curiosity is out in a wheelchair, being pushed by his assistant Eegor. He's got a cast on one leg and a bandage on his head thanks to the Grand Prix match. As some security people try to air lift him into the ring, Curiosity gets dumped on his head and pinned under the wheelchair. Eegor gets Curiosity back in his chair and we get down to business. Bottom line: he's backing out of a tag match and inserts Eegor in his place.
3 – Cary Turkington & Rook Black vs. Kooter Michaels-Cruise & Eegor
Hollywood and O'Connor are back on commentary as we join this one at 11:52. Kooter nails a chokeslam on Black. Black escapes a DVD attempt to hit an inverted DDT. Funny spot as Black doesn't want to tag in his partner, so he makes Kooter tag in Eegor. Black goes to work on Eegor's legs with an elevated single leg crab. Kooter with a big boot to break up that submission. Kooter goes after Turkington on the apron. Black nails Eegor with a German suplex. As Black locks in a crossbow, Kooter rams Turkington into the steel post on the floor. Curiosity hops into the ring and nails Black with the EXPLODING CYBORG BOOK OF DOOM~! Meanwhile, Eegor is crying, but eventually makes the cover, but Black kicks out at two! Kooter hits a crossbody press on Black, getting a pop from the crowd. Elsewhere, Mayfield plays "GTA: Chinatown." Kooter hits Turkington with a sitout powerbomb. Black clotheslines Kooter in the back of the head. Off the ropes, but Curiosity pulls down the ropes. Black's out and Eegor collapses on Turkington for the three.
WINNERS: Kooter Michaels-Cruise & Eegor. What was shown was booked well, even if the wrestling wasn't all that hot. (*1/2)
- Meanwhile, Vic "The Bull" Tarano and Brock Alyas run into each other. Wackiness doesn't ensue as bad meets evil.
4 – Vic "The Bull Tarana vs. Felix Red
Joined in progress at 14:13. Red with a low blow and follows that up with a sloppy spinning heel kick. Red hits a top rope moonsault, causing Tarano to cough up blood. Red gets a long two count. Tarano unloads with some brass knuckles, busting him open. Implant DDT. Tarano hits a stiff clothesline for two. Then he hits a full nelson suplex. Red avoids a Bull Rush (shining wizard) and hits The Ecstasy of the Agony. After some fighting in the corner, Tarano connects with a tornado DDT for another long two count. Bull Rush misses again, giving Red a chance to hit a bridging Dragon suplex for the win. Mayfield applauds from his box.
WINNER: Felix Red. Once again, hard to rate accurately because only a few minutes was shown. Good finish anyhow. (*)
- Now it's time for Biff Busey's Show & Tell. Biff is "The Ultimate High School Jock" and tonight he has some friends: Zach Morris, AC Slater and Screech Powers. No Kelly Kapowski = EPIC FAIL. There's some discuss of Biff's sperm, which is "spiff" (the sperm of Biff) for the record. Biff than introduces David Jericho, who allegedly is Chris Jericho's brother. And amazingly, he has Chris's exact persona and speech pattern. Um, what's the point of this? Crowd boos, and I hope it's because of the ubersuckage and lack of creativity/originality. Then Biff brings out Shawn Coppolla. Hopefully, Biff won't put on lipstick and a fat suit and start making out with him. Michael "The Mind" Heenan joins the fun, along with Biff's younger brother, "The Ultimate Jock Preppy Douche" Trent Busey. Tune in next week as new recruits include David Cena, Pierre-Henri Levesque and Dan Bautista. This segment gets negative stars. Where are my hot pokers? Koopa Troopa and Dry Bones are out to eventually get beat up....Then they get beat up. And I need beer. Badly. Koopa goes through three flaming tables for no reason. This show is going downhill fast.
- Meanwhile, Impulse might take off his mask if he wins the Television Title tonight. Intrigue~! And seriously, fuck Biff Busey. I need a good match to stop me from putting my foot through my screen.
5 – Dos Equis vs. Phil Atken vs. Impulse vs. Brock Alyas vs. "Fakepulse" vs. Cameron Cruise (Sears Tower TV Title Match)
The rules are pretty simple. The TV title is hanging 12 feet in the air, and the winner must retrieve it without using a ladder. Fake Impulse, or Fakepulse, is replacing High Flyer, who was attacked earlier tonight. Everyone starts brawling at the bell. Atken grabs the first chair of the match and nails Cruise with it. We've got action all over the place. Fakepulse spin kicks the chair into Atken's head. Fakepulse tries to reach for the title with just a chair, but Impulse kicks the chair out from under him. Impulse with a backbreaker on Fakepulse into a dragon sleeper. Equis breaks it up with a chair shot. Cruise DDTs Equis. Atken grabs our first table. Atken takes a back body drop onto said table, which doesn't break. Ouch. Alyas gets on the table looking for the title, but gets dropkicked instead and gets crunchified with an assist from Equis. Cruise hits Impulse with table shards before Cruise nails Fakepulse with a chair. Equis and Atken are collecting tables at ringside like baseball cards. Alyas with an exploder on Impulse. As Cruise and Alyas brawl, Equis low blows Alyas and Cruise hits a DDT. ¡Consiga las tablas! Backdrop through a table doesn't quite work out, but Cruise eventually sends Alyas through his second table. Equis and Cruise make peace until Equis crotches him. Didn't Arafat do that to Rabin. The Middle East STILL hasn't recovered! Damn you! As Equis and Atken argue, Impulse nails a Sudden Impact on Atken and Fakepulse hits Equis with a full nelson slam. After Cruise dumps Fakepulse, Impulse just barely grabs the belt, but Cruise nails him with a chair. Alyas dumps Fakepulse on the rail on the floor. Alyas hits an exploder on Dos Equis and Atken before getting a Reality Check from Cruise.
[Break.]
Equis hits a ** frog splash (allegedly…I'd call it 3/4*) on Impulse as we return. For his sloppiness, Fakepulse lowblows Equis and bulldogs him on a chair. Impulse hits Atken with a baseball slide dropkick and then some hot Impulse on Fakepulse action on the floor. Alyas gets the better of a brawl with Cruise and sets him up for an Elevator Drop, but Atken chopblocks Alyas, causing Cruise to hit a table. Figure-four by Atken on Alyas is desribed thusly by Hollywood: "Its like watching Kate Moss have sex with a black man!" Equis with a running senton on Alyas. Then Cruise stomps Alyas. Then Fakepulse hits a double stomp from the top on Alyas. Sucks to be Brock! Cruise gets locked in a Tijuana Crab. Somehow (clipping?), Cruise gets free and goes to work on Alyas bad knee. Impulse with a missile dropkick to Cruise send him through the table. Match slows down a bit, and after some brawling, Cruise hits Atken piledrives him on a chair. Alyas grabs a table for some Brock-A-Copter action. Impulse hits a springboard dropkick into Alyas' back and Impulse with a Hornet Splash sends Alyas face-first through the table! Impulse gets up on the hook, and ends up with his legs around Cruise before Fakepulse dropkicks the table, sending everybody down!
Alyas hits a DDT on Cruise onto the table before Equis charges in with a bronco buster into Alyas's face and through the table. A wood sandwich, but two very different kinds of wood. Equis and Atken hit a double eye poke on top of another table, then both fall off and hit the turnbuckles simultaneously in a funny spot. Clotheslines From Oz by Alyas on Atken and then Equis before Impulse hits a springboard back elbow to Alyas and then a chair-aided springboard spinning leg clothesline. Fakepulse Yakuzas Impulse and heads for the title, but Cruise takes out the table, leaving Fakepulse hanging from the hook. Cruise gets him and HOLY SHIT! Equis hits a Doomsday Beersteiner through a table on Fakepulse! Alyas crabs Cruise and hits a psycho driver on a chair! Somehow, Cruise manages to fight off a superbomb and backdrops Alyas onto a table, but Equis dropkicks Cruise to the floor in another sick spot. Fakepulse manages to get Equis into an Atkentamer. Impulse unmasks Fakepulse…it's High Flyer in a brilliant swerve. Sudden Impact on Flyer takes him out. Impulse sets up a table, but Equis rams him into it and they brawl. Alyas and Cruise brawl and head back inside before Alyas hits a sick gore on Flyer through the table. Impulse unloads on Cruise with kicks, giving Atken an opening for a nut shot. Atken and Cruise fight on the table before Cruise hits a Shipwreck Cradle Piledriver through the table!!
As the crowd goes wild, Equis and Impulse head up on a table and brawl. Sunset flip powerbomb off the table by Impulse! Meanwhile, Alyas stomps on Cruise. Alyas gets heaved through the table and then Cruise walks right into a Sudden Impulse! Alyas recovers in time to get on the table to fight with Impulse. Alyas delivers a sick powerbomb through the table, but Impulse grabs the title as Alyas was lifting him up! No way! Impulse wins the title as the crowd pops huge. Post-match, Impulse unmasks to reveal his secret identity: Randall Knox. I'm sure if I knew who Randall Knox was/is, I'd be floored right now. But I don't, so I'm not.
WINNER: Impulse (Randall Knox). Excellent spotfest match. I worry about everyones health (and sanity) after some of those spots, but the booking was excellent, and the execution was flawless. Truly, a memorable match, and easily gets my highest rating. (*****)
-Meanwhile, Steve Knox brings us his awesome, and lets everyone know that he wants the NFW World Championship and he can't wait to suplex Joe the Plumber into oblivion.
6 – New Day Rising (Tsunami & Wildstar w/Rayne & DC Stratton) vs. Hollywood Wrecking Crew (Malik Anderson & Blaine Hollywood w/Calvin Chalmers Carlton Esq.) (30 Minute Iron Men Match for the Everette Memorial World Tag Titles)
Whoever wins the most pinfalls at the end of 30 minutes will win the titles. Pins, submissions, DQs, and countouts count. If tied after 30 minutes, there will be sudden death. Pre-match, Calvin repeats, "remember the strategy," Nice sequence by Tsunami and Hollywood to start. WildStar in and goes to work on Hollywood with a backbody drop and a gutwrench suplex. Tsunami with a springboard elbow drop, followed by a WildStar somersault for two. 'Star then becomes your face in peril as Anderson works him over with a couple belly-to-belly suplexes. 'Star avoids That's Entertainment and cradles Hollywood for three to put NDR up 1-0 with about 22 minutes remaining. We reboot as Tsunami and Anderson go at it. Anderson hits a Ruke Awakening before tagging in Hollywood, who hits a sitout powerbomb for a pin to tie up the match 1-1 with about 20 minutes left.
Rebooting again, Anderson prevents Tsunami from making the tag and clubs him. Powerbomb attempt by Anderson gets reversed into a back body drop, but Anderson nicely counters Tsunami's springboard attempt with a dropkick that sends him to the floor. Calvin looks to inflict some damage with his tennis racket, but DC Stratton grabs it, and DC hits Hollywood before tossing it toward the upper deck. It gets a pop from the crowd, but more importantly, causes a DQ. HWC goes up 2-1 with just over 17 minutes left. We've got tension now in the NDR corner. This is some great old school action so far. Hope it keeps up. Meanwhile, Hollywood nails Tsunami with a title belt while the ref is distracted by DC, who gets his hands on the title and stares at it. Anderson goes to work on Tsunami's freshly bladed forehead before nailing him with Michinoku Driver for the three. HWC up 3-1 with less than 14 minutes remaining. O'Connor points out nicely that WildStar has used a variation of that move as one of his finishers for years. The match resumes with Hollywood dragging Tsunami's forehead on the ropes. Careful! Rope burn might cauterize the wound. Tag to Anderson, who locks in Tsunami in a Boston crab, giving us a nice Wrestlemania 13ish visual as a bloody Tsunami screams out in pain in this submission hold. But Tsunami doesn't tap, so Hollywood tags in and drops a knee from the top rope as we enter the final 10 minutes.
After a Hollywood backbreaker, Anderson drives an elbow to the Tsunami's skull, as he desperately needs a tag. HWC continues to work on Tsunami's back with some double team action before Calvin screams out for act three, which apparently is titled, "The Lungs! The Lungs!" And on cue, Hollywood with a corner splash followed by chops. Hollywood with a big hiptoss followed by a sleeper with 8 minutes left. Crowd chants give Tsunami the magical power to not go to sleep and fight his way up. Stunner! Tsunami's been beaten on for 15 minutes and needs a red hot tag. But Calvin distracts the referee, who goes all Blink Rogers on us. Anderson drags Tsunami back to the heel corner. As Anderson holds, Hollywood tries for a splash, but Tsunami elbows his way free of Anderson's grip. Gold mist~! I hear gold mist is trading at an all-time high on the mist market these days. Oh, and Tsunami FINALLY makes the tag. WildStar is in and goes all chimpanzee on they asses before spiking Hollywood with a spinning Tiger Driver for the three to make it 3-2 HWC with about 5 minutes left. Once the match resumes, WildStar goes for another pin, but that jezebel Calvin puts Hollywood's foot on the bottom rope. WildStar heads up top for a 450 splash, but Anderson breaks up the pin with 4 minutes to go. Tsunami gets the tag, chops away on Hollywood and nails a suplex. A spinning leg drop leads to a tag to WildStar who hits a springboard moonsault for two with 3 minutes remaining. 'Star hits some rolling thunder, tags in Tsunami and whips him into Hollywood for a handspring elbow. Once again, Anderson breaks up the pin. WildStar re-enters with a hurricanrana pin, but somehow Hollywood kicks out as we hit the 2 minute warning, with Rayne calling for some hurry-up offense. Hollywood fights back but takes a Russian leg sweep, setting up Tsunami for a 450 splash. But Calvin distracts the referee again, so Rayne tackles Calvin. CATFIIIIIIIGHT! Tsunami gets a looooong two count, but Hollywood kicks out with 90 seconds to go! Drei deutsche suplexes by Tsunami follow. Five Star Frog Splash by you-know-who before Tsunami crescent kicks Anderson and we've got a tie game of 3-3 with just over 1 minute left! Tsunami hits a handspring backflip over the ropes onto Anderson on the floor! Yikes! Down to WildStar and Hollywood with time running out. Hollywood uses the referee for a shield in the ring as Rayne and Carlton and Tsunami and Anderson are all fighting on the floor with 45 seconds to go. WildStar backslides Hollywood, but the ref is still bumped, so he checks on him and gets a nut shot as thanks for his good deed. With 30 seconds, Calvin fights free of Rayne and tosses Hollywood a title belt. But Stratton gets in the ring and yoinks the belt with 15 seconds to go! Stratton's about to blast Hollywood, but no! Swerve! He blasts WildStar! Crowd is shocked, and so am I! With 10 seconds, Hollywood makes the pin with 5 seconds left for the final fall to win the tag titles. Stratton leaves, getting pelted with trash all the way. HWC are the champions, my friends.
WINNERS: Hollywood Wrecking Crew. Another excellent match. Great psychology, great booking, and a shocking ending to boot. (****1/2)
-Main event segment time. It's Hollywood On Fire, with special guest star Joe the Plumber. Good luck topping the last two matches. Hollywood's charging Joe an incineration fee to burn his clothes from when Joe touched him earlier. This causes Joe to snatch the mic. Only, "fuckin'" isn't bleeped the first time, but the censors wake up for some of the other swears. These NFW editors must be straight out of college or something. Fans throw their brooms in the air and wave 'em like they just don't care. Oops, nevermind. Censors gave up apparently as Joe cunts it up in the way only Joe can. Argh, these censors are having so much trouble during this segment it's distracting the bleep out of me! Eddie Mayfield eventually comes to Hollywood's rescue. He's got a haliburton case. Mayfield has made a new (and awesome looking) NFW World Title belt in his own image that resembles a Wimbledon tennis trophy plate. Mayfield calls for the Heel Bible, but Joe is pissed and lets Mayfield know with some more bleepage. Joe grabs the belt and puts it on, giving Mayfield the opportunity to blast Joe with the Heel Bible! Joe is busted hardway, as we discover the Heel Bible contained a brick! Hollywood celebrates as Mayfield stands over the champ. Man, more garbage is thrown. NFW needs Mike the Garbageman next to sweep up after all these dirty fans. Mayfield begins whipping Joe with Hollywood's belt. Another piece of clothing for the incinerator. Impulse runs out for the save. Joe pulls a "Star Trek II" scream as we fade out.
Final thoughts: Very entertaining show. Hell, any show that features a ***** match and a **** match gets two thumbs up from me. Perfect? No. But Joe/Mayfield, the good matches and booking far outweighed the badness that was the odd match editing and Biff's blackhole of entertainment. ``xEkuuulylykLBWmKBIm``x1244490462``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://ewtorch.blogspot.com/``xThe first-ever EW Torch Review done for NFW!``x``xrevolutionnews.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
EWTorch Crash 48 Report``xNFW``xApril 26, 2009 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Show opens with highlights of Crash 47, focusing on Joe the Plumber/President Eddie Mayfield and the Tag Team Championship switch.
- Outside, the presidential limo arrives. GOLD VAN! GOLD VAN! GOLD VAN IS HERE! And it smashes into the limo. Who's driving the gold van? Tune into Nitro, next week! Oh wait, it's Joe the Plumber, of course. Joe rushes over from his World Champions Plumbing van looking for Eddie Mayfield, but it's a ruse. After busting out the moon roof with a wrench, he pulls out a decoy. Ah, so Joe is one of the crazy guys in Pennsylvania who clings to his wrenches and religion (Joe is an Asskickodist, I believe). Meanwhile, The Real Eddie Mayfield sneaks into the building.
- Your hosts are Lamont Hollywood and Kerry O'Connor. Ringside, they hype up the show, which is dropping from three hours to two (smart move), and Hollywood wants Joe fired and stripped of the NFW World Title.
- Clips of Captain Conga defeating Bret Kelly via pinfall after Dios Mi (450 corkscrew leg drop). O'Connor notes that Kelly is on a 10-year losing streak and Conga has about 10-15 MOVES OF DOOM! Suck on that, Bret.
- Backstage, High Flyer tells us that we all wear masks. Does he have a hidden camera in my bedroom?
- Clips of Unicorn Mask defeating La Estrella 100% via Skullfucka Bustah. Funny bit as Unicorn Mask grabs the horn on his mask, screams like a banshee, and they cut to a silent and dumbfounded O'Connor and Hollywood. Post-match, High Flyer runs out with a baseball bat that's wearing a Fakepulse/Impulse mask and a Philadelphia Phillies baseball hat. Flyer goes psycho on both guys and rips off Estrella's mask. Unicorn eventually fights off Flyer.
- Meanwhile, High Flyer doesn't trust unicorns or men named after concepts of astrology.
- In-ring, Biff Busey and the Church of Jobbers incite a small riot in the crowd. I think. Ironic having the words "riot" and "Biff Busey" in the same sentence, ain't it? After cutting to "THE NFW ALPHA SQUADRON ZONE Z! RIDE!" we cut to O'Connor and Hollywood watching their monitors in front of a non-rioty crowd. Random.
3 – Normal Human Beings (David Jericho & Shawn Coppola) (w/Biff Busey and Michael "The Mind" Heenan) vs. Bold New Disaster (Castor V. Strife & Problem Child) (w/Jimmy Mylde & unconscious Lana Dremire)
Just a warning: anything involving Biff automatically starts at -**. Also, Problem Child killed your daughter's virginity. NFW: the F stands for fuck family entertainment! For helping destroy NFW, Mylde gives Biff a present: Gray's Sports Almanac, 1950-2000. This sets up the V. CASTORSTRIFER superkick into the almanac. After the match begins, Biff sniff's Lana's feet at ringside. I only hope those "Biff" chants are piped in, because this is epic stupidity. Later, Strife unleashes another V. Castorstrifer into a chair, nailing Coppola, then hits the Director's Cut (inverted neckbreaker thingee), but Lana's unconscious body makes the save, thanks to Biff throwing her at him. Enter "Marty" and "Doc" from "Back to the Future" in a DeLorean. Oh fuck me, this is just getting ridiculous, as the "Saved by the Bell" jackasses run out to fight them. Hold on. Ridiculous isn't even a strong enough word. Rifuckulous? I never thought I'd see the day where I had to write, "Doc hits Biff with a Liger Bomb." Strife demands toys. Namely, a flamethrower? Oh holy hell. He sets everyone on fire. I think this is the only time I'll ever condone flamethrowercide. Strike demands a count (would you DQ a man with a flamethrower?), and gets it. Post-match, we learn that this match happened in Intercourse, Pennsylvania (woohoo!) with the help of CGI.
WINNERS: Bold New Disaster via pinfall. Absolutely surreal. But it killed Biff Busey and crew dead, so, yay? (-***1/4)
- Backstage, Joe the Plumber visits Eddie Mayfield's office and takes care of Shamon. Joe gets on the intercom and tells Eddie he has some urgent business to attend to, and it isn't beating a mission on "Chinatown Wars." Joe breaks into the office, only to find an open window, a Nintendo DS, a lit cigarette, and the empty case that's been holding the NFW World Title. DS goes smashy smashy.
- In-ring, a sad Rayne heads out to confront her boyfriend D.C. Stratton about him turning evil at Crash 47. Stratton heads out and apologizes. They're interrupted by Stratton's new woman, Veronica Abrams Rumsfeld. CATFIIIIIIIIGHT! Stratton pulls Rayne off and punches her! Stratton welcomes Rayne to "Dumpsville... population YOU!" WildStar and Tsunami run out to try to save Rayne, but Malik Anderson (posing as a cameraman) and Blaine Hollywood (posing as a security guard) ambush them. Hollywood chairshots WildStar repeatedly, and he blades. Stratton blasts Tsunami with a chair and punts WildStar in the nose to solidify his heeldom. Lots of heel heat here. This feud is tremendous.
- Backstage, Eddie Mayfield rappels in with a counterterrorist escort. Meanwhile, Joe stalks him from a Dumpster.
4 – Felix Red (w/Gotho) vs. Rook Black (National Championship)
Red gets an early nearfall with a small package, but Black takes over after a trio of snap suplexes. Gotho annoys Black with a chair, so he goes out to the floor, but Red suicide dives onto both men. After some brawling, Red connects with a moonsault off the buckles. Back inside, Red hits a rana for two. Black gets back in control after a double arm DDT and Russian leg sweep, but Gotho throws the ring bell at Black's head. Black returns the favor to a big pop. Nice reversal sees Red turn an inverted atomic drop into a sunset flip for two. A fan hops the rail, causing a brief distraction. Black turns Red's corkscrew plancha into a cradle piledriver for two. Red avoids a German suplex by hitting a neckbreaker. Shattered Horizons (twisting swanton bomb) with a chair assist gets Red two. Black comes back with a Burning Hammer onto the chair, but Gotho (barely) pulls Black off. Black's Liger Bomb also only gets two, so he looks for a crossbow. Instead, he finds a chair to the nose courtesy of Gotho. Red hits a shooting star press for two. Head of Security Cojones Mercado heads down to ringside now. Red locks in a camel clutch, but Black stands up, so Red changes to a sleeper with body scissors. Cheers magically wake up Black, and he's able to break free. Mercado takes out Gotho after he trips Black, which brings out Kooter Michaels-Cruise. Red's dragon suplex gets two. Kooter takes out the ref and then turns on Red with a superchokeslam! Black grabs the pin.
WINNER: Rook Black via pinfall. Some nice work in here, but the constant outside interference definitely detracted from the wrestling part of the match. Not sure why the match continued after Kooter hit the ref. (**1/2)
Post-match, Kooter unmasks (to High Flyer's delight) and rebrands himself as Kooter Johnson. He no longer wants to contribute to the demise of American culture. Eddie thoughtfully looks on from his presidential box.
- Backstage, Cameron Cruise asks a mystery man: deal or no deal?
- On a yacht, it's time to rechristen D.C. Stratton as Dorchester Stratton. He runs down the reasons for his heel turn, which amounts to the wrestling world going on (Tsunami and Rayne replacing him with WildStar) while he was injured with a broken collarbone. But Calvin Carlton was there for him. He and the Hollywood Wrecking Crew respected D.C. As far as motivations go, it's an oldie but a goodie. He says the fans, Tsunami, WildStar and Rayne were all using him. Now D.C. has what he wanted all along…somewhere he belongs.
- Backstage, Felix Red goes nuts and gives himself at least seven years bad luck by breaking a mirror.
Cage is covered with barbed wire and filled with hanging weapons, plus we've got coal miner gloves. Cruise tries to wrestle early, but he also goes into the barbed wire a couple times. Alyas then unloads with a pair of chairshots on Cruise for two. Powerslam on the chair also gets Alyas two. Staples to the back? Yeah, we've got that. Well, Cruise specifically, and to the back. Yowza. Cruise blasts Alyas with an iron for two. After raking Alyas on the wire, Cruise has a hammer and tries to remove Alyas' skull from his face. Both guys are a mess as Cruise back suplexes Alyas for two. Alyas comes back with a head and arm suplex for two. Alyas flicks blood at the referee, who pulls a "Drag Me To Hell" and asks, "Did any get in my mouth?" Rollup by Cruise gets two, so Cruise naturally bulldogs him on the iron. This also only gets two. Cruise gets some chairs and targets Alyas' shoulder, leading to an armtrap crossface. He lets go, only to hit a double arm suplex into Cattle Mutilation! Alyas gets a foot to the ropes, but Cruise stays on the offense, with a la magistral cradle and DDT for two more nearfalls.
Cruise grabs a ladder and dumps it on Alyas' head. But Alyas then uses the ladder against Cruise, ramming him, and Cruise gets crotched on the barbed wire! Alyas unleashes more ladder violence, including some Brock-a-copter action and crushing Cruise with a spinning powerbomb onto the ladder. Elevator Drop on the ladder by Alyas gets only two. Now Alyas blasts Cruise with a charcoal chimney! Cruise fights back and catches Alyas with a Russian legsweep facebuster onto the ladder for two. Cruise goes back to work on the shoulder, hooking a barbed wire reverse chickenwing! Eventually, Alyas is able to push his way free, but lands badly.
The cage is unlocked, as medics check on Alyas. Cruise decides to help put his arm back together again with a screwdriver. They brawl, and Alyas back suplexes him, but gets totally screwdrivered as he hits it. Cruise is up first and drags Alyas to the door for an arm-in-the-cage-door slam. Alyas counters a crossface attempt into a scary head and arm suplex. Alyas rips off the door and sets it up on top of two chairs. DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ONTO THE CAGE DOOR! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Alyas finds some handcuffs and bashes Cruise with them before cuffing him to the barbed wire. Cruise takes three unprotected chair shots.
Unicorn Mask with a run in? He attacks Alyas, but here comes High Flyer with his bat. After two strikes, Unicorn catches him for a sitout powerbomb, but Alyas catches Unicorn with a running kick. Alyas tries to nail Cruise with a chair again, but Unicorn grabs the chair, only to take Flyer's Locomotive (Yakuza kick)! Now Vic "The Bull" Tarano joins the insanity, freeing Cruise from the wire. Cruise wraps some wire around the cuffs and grabs Alyas for a dragon sleeper into a suplex. ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Alyas comes back with a dragon suplex. Hollywood: "Crash 48’s Special Left 4 Dead Edition presented by Dennis Edward Mayfield! Stick around and you’ll find out what a Zombie Star Press involves!" Alyas covers, but Unicorn pulls him off at two. Flyer blasts Unicorn with a chairshot. Alyas hits the Extra Mile Exploder Suplex, but Tarano hits Alyas with the bolt cutters. Bull Rush (shining wizard) with barbed wire! Cruise wins.
WINNER: Cameron Cruise via pinfall at 20:33. That match was a bit too overbooked, and obviously very gory. Cruise should've picked up a clean win, and Unicorn and High Flyer's involvement really wasn't needed and may have hurt Cruise more than helped him. Cruise brought the psychology here, and Alyas brought the power offense, but both guys were pretty much spent at the halfway point and kicking out of murderdeathkill spots. Despite the over-the-top violence, they did tell a good, albeit incomplete, story. (***)
- Post-match, President Eddie Mayfield interrupts with a Presidential Emergency Service Announcement. He doesn't like all the run-ins, especially involving the National Championship, so if anybody gets involved, they'll have to answer to HIM. Meanwhile, behind Eddie, his minions are vanishing one by one. Eddie wants to light up, and a dirty hand offers him a light. JOE! HUGE POP as Joe attacks. Eddie flicks his cigarette at Joe and looks for an escape. Sahmon to the rescu–nah, Joe easily takes care of him. Joe sets the rail on fire! Eddie jumps onto the presidential drape, then jumps onto the heel banner, which rips into a neat visual as the "HEEL" banner now reads "HELL" and Mayfield's face is torn in half. Eddie hurts his ankle as the Secret Service comes to his aid. JOE WITH A PLANCHA~! HOLY SHIT! Eddie crawls away, the raises the NFW World Title. Fade out on pissed off Joe as the skybox burns near the "Hell" banner. Awesome visual to close a very hot segment.
Final Thoughts: Another very entertaining show, no surprise. Eddie/Joe remains HOT, and is reminiscent of the classic Austin vs. McMahon storyline, but not in a bad "they're ripping off the WWF" way. Oh, yeah, I said WWF! Lots of big developments this week, and I like what High Flyer's up to with the unmasking angle. Also, I definitely prefer the highlight videos of matches more than the joined in progress that was going on last time. Give me a world with the Biff parade, and there'll be nothing to complain about in NFW.``xEkuuulyZZAofkLOwOI``x1244490379``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://ewtorch.blogspot.com/``xTed Caldweller returns with another five-star review of NFW's latest Crash TV installment!``x``xrevolutionnews.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

ESENtv: BROCKED and LOADED``xNFW``xThe attorney for Brock Alyas has been in constant negotiations with the district attorney representing the state of North Carolina for the past few months so that New Frontier of Wrestling’s bad boy can get back in the ring without a lengthy trial that would inevitably become a distraction.
Back in November of 2008 Brock Alyas was charged with a felony account of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and was released after serving four months dead time in Scotland Correctional Insitute in Laurinburg, NC. Alyas was arrested in Raleigh on November 21, 2008 and the arresting officer reported that he was driving his Cadillac Eldorado recklessly and he issued Alyas a breathalyzer test, results coming back told officials that Alyas well over twice the legal limit for operating a motor vehicle.
Alyas was arrested on spot and sentenced to four months dead time at Scotland Correctional, a maximum security state prison because of the drunk driving charges.
Alyas is expected to appear in a North Carolina criminal court Friday morning for a pre-trial hearing. So far, no plea arrangement has been reached and sources say that Alyas plans to plead not guilty to the charge.
After apparently firing a gun off in public in Raleigh last November 21, Alyas was arraigned on one count of illegal possession of a loaded and unlicensed weapon, a Glock.40 semi-automatic pistol. Because his clip was fully-loaded when arrested, Alyas doesn’t appear to be up against charges for firing the hand-gun in public.
Criminal defense attorney Andrew Martinez, who represents Alyas, have been discussing possible outcomes for if the defense agrees to a plea. Martinez has stated that he along with his client are only interested in a plea that will not include jail time. Anything that’s been discussed has and will include jail time for the NFW competitor.
The district attorney intends to prosecute Alyas to the fullest extent of the law making an example out of the athlete and has state “the economy we live in today not only allows athletes the opportunity to break the law, but it’s become fashionable to do so and get away with it… any punishment besides jail time would be a mockery of the current criminal system and only lead to other cases in which high-paid athletes can buy their way out of jail time,”
Alyas wants to resolve the case without a trial so that he can get back to training and preparing for further endeavors in the NFW as he’s become quite the commodity in and around the NFW circle and fan base.
He has yet to receive any punishment from the NFW and no officials have agreed to speak on the terms although it’s without a doubt that the Eddie Mayfield owned NFW, frowns upon Brock’s actions.
ESENtv caught Brock and his representative leaving the court-room on Monday April 6th and his lawyer, Martinez had this to say as shown in the official TV transcript...
(FADE IN: BROCK ALYAS and ANDY MARTINEZ both dressed in suit and tie, clad from head to toe in Gucci leaving a court-room in Raleigh, North Carolina. Surrounded by mass amounts of camera men, local TV stations and dedicated NFW fans holding up signs in defence of Brock – it looked as if it was a red-carpet event.)
(CUTTO: MARTINEZ walking up with ALYAS standing slightly behind him, eyes narrowed obviously annoyed at the hundreds of cameras flashing in his face. MARTINEZ looks much more comfortable in this scenario, ALYAS looks like wants to straight dummy the next guy who takes his picture from point blank range.)
(ALYAS AND MARTINEZ continue their way through the crowd en route to the stretch limo waiting for them at the end of the sidewalk. BROCK just can’t help but resist giving the two-finger salute before getting into the limo.)``xEkuFAuyuuuhyZnkmuj``x1243950044``xfeature``x53481091834249``xNatrone Rice``x``xBack in November of 2008 Brock Alyas was charged with a felony account of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree...``x``x``xfeatures.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
World's Finest Wrestling and New ERA of Wrestling are announcing their intentions to join forces and re-emerge under one single banner.``xNFW``xWFW:NE will maintain two television shows: their flagship show RAUCOUS, and their secondary show Almost Live. In addition, the league will run five pay per view events: Destrucity, Merrython, BattleBRAWL, Enemy: UNKNOWN and Superbowl of Wrestling.
The WFW:NE will retain the re-christened WFW:NE Television Championship, currently held by Mr. Entertainment. The WFW BAD World Heavyweight championship, currently held by Steve Johnson and the New ERA PCX Championship, currently held by Jason Payne will be unified as the WFW:NE PRODIGY Classic Xtreme championship in the near future. Likewise, the New ERA World Heavyweight championships, held by both Daymon and Larry Tact, and the WFW World Heavyweight championship will remain independent, yet equal. The organization plans to unite those titles into the WFW:NE World Heavyweight championship down the line.
World's Finest Wrestling: the New ERA will be co-run by Sean Edmunds and Paul Miller. The forums (which are still under the "NEW" heading) will be renamed to reflect the merge. All old WFW archives can now (or will soon be) found under the WFW Archive section of the WFW:NE forums. The website (http://www.neweraofwrestling.net) has already begun the revision necessary to reflect the merge. Roster pages will begin to be filled in. WFW shows will be transcribed and posted on the archives page under the WFW Archived Shows section.
Paul and I both have been itching to get our leagues back in the swing of things. Merging New ERA and WFW seemed like the best way to do so. We've got a lot left to tell in this hobby of ours, and we hope you'll stay with us as we bring our wrestling identity back to the FWCentral forums.

Lexx Love III Released by ICWF!``xBlankman``xLOS ANGELES, CA --
Intense Championship Wrestling Federation (ICWF) has issued a statement today regarding surprising moves in the employment area of the league.
Lexx Love III, current ICWF Intercontinental Champion and considered the most recognizable face for ICWF in the past year, has been given his release as of the end of May.
Sources inside the organization have stated that Lexx supposedly tested positive for several banned substances, including HGH, anabolic steroids and also viagra. This compounds the problems rumbling through the business that Lexx was becoming more of a prima-donna backstage and going out of his way to hinder the development of newly signed ICWF talent.
Love will be losing the IC title at some point, but it is not a guarantee that Eraser will be the recipient. The same federation official stated that many other names have been thrown around as being the one to take Lexx out in his final match. The biggest two names being thrown around were Will Geddings and Dave Pietka, though both men are still contenders in the MOAT tournament at press time.
Love was not the only casualty on the chopping block.
Current ICWF CEO D. Samantha Montague was summarily fired the moment Lexx's walking papers were issued.
Montague stormed into the offices when Love was told of his notice and demanded to find out why someone with such talent was being treated this way. Montague was quickly told that she was found as the suspect behind the embezzlement issues and tax fraud by the investigating group, and that she was also video-surveiled dealing the banned substances to wrestlers, including Love and the formerly dismissed Hades.
The tapes were made accessible to police and Montague was arrested as her ICWF contract was torn apart. Montague was revealed to be the infamous Delilah that worked in ICWF many years ago. After some changes to her appearance and a new regime came to power, Delilah got a position within the company and began bilking it out of hundreds of thousands of dollars; while also dealing controlled substances on the side.
There are rumors that Lone Wolf is said to be part of this as well. No one is certain if the former champion returned as part of Delilah's plan, but nobody cares now. Officials said that Wolf can go out and do his business, or go back to being a vagrant somewhere in the gutter. The choice was his.
More to come as the story develops.``xEkukEAuyAlDURgewkz``x1242198298``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.intensewrestling.org``xIntense Championship Wrestling Federation (ICWF) has issued a statement today regarding surprising moves in the employment area of the league.

The Ego Check :Episode One``xacrowley``xHello ECWA Fans, and welcome to the first edition of the “Ego Check”. Brought to you by the best damn wrestler in this business “Mr. Showtime” Allister Crowley.
I, Allister Crowley, the next ECWA Pristine champion, a title that I will win at DOA will bring you this column every week. Reporting on all the ins and outs of the talent, as well as reporting on any injuries and giving my views on the latest rumors around the 'net.
I'll start with the major outgoings.
We saw a sad day last week at Anarchy when autumn had to vacate the Extreme Diva title. No talent likes top just forfeit a title. I anticipate her getting in the ring again real soon to compete for that title. That being said Oni and Niunia will be exciting. And with Steffi still getting here shot, the diva division is still red hot. My only thought is doesn’t Oni remind you of Nicole Bass? Or is it just me?
Mike Miracle also left the company recently. As always, it was under mysterious circumstances, as it always is with him. He told me that he was going back to wrestle where he can catch a break. Maybe the DWF can give him a shot. I hear they are starting up their ninth era. They are calling it Dead in the Water.
DDL disappeared last week and no one knows why but after the repeated headshots one wonders could we have seen the last of DDL? And the shocking news this time was that it could be for good.. No doubt he will pop up on our screens sometime soon, but for now we can consider him shelved.
Although not technically outgoings... yet, the booking team are talking of a bit of a cull to clear the dead weight on the roster. A lot of talent has been slacking off recently. Some of them don't even bother turning up. Not even a phone call. The bookers are going to release these wrestlers sooner rather than later. This gives us the opportunity to sign more talent, which will hopefully be able to perform a little better.
That’s it for the outgoings. Here are some of the major incomings we've had recently.
BP6 was a great event, and we'll get to that later. But the talent put on one heck of a show.. That Allister Crowley guy is one of the most popular guys backstage. Despite his on screen persona being a little arrogant, Crowley is well respected and brilliantly funny. It's good times on the road when he's around.
Ryan Justice too has made a mini comeback. Although not gone for long, he had other things on in his life and lost his focus. He is back and promises to make more of an impact. I hope he succeeds, as his efforts are second to none.
We have a promising batch of talent here right now. I've been watching them in the gym, and they all want it. We'll see what they are made of and if they have what it takes to push the established stars.
Oni continues to maintain she can go it alone against the longest reigning Tag Champs in history Roman and Vincent. Is it a suicide mission or has she no fear? The ECWA Tag Champs. I watched them in action, and you can see just why they are so good, and so well regarded in the ECWA. The competitions is fierce, but win or lose, they are putting forward their best efforts. The match takes place in the coming weeks.
Zack and Hellpunk are a ... Interesting team. Look fairly solid and would certainly add to the tag division.
Let me offer my thoughts on BP6.
BP6 was certainly a very solid event. Although some long-term storylines had to get rushed and compressed to fit in , I think it got pulled off relatively well and the ratings were one of the best ever for a ECWA PPV.
There were some great showings from some members. The obvious one being Zack. Clearly the breakout star of the night. The young man went home with it all. He has impressed EVERYONE. However, other organizations have pushed youngsters too fast too soon. Although I have no doubt Zack can take it, we need to keep him on a high.
Mike Vincent also performed fantastically. Despite losing his match, he has been really, really sharp in the ring. He is certainly on his way back to the very pinnacle, and I can certainly see him adding a World Title Reign in the next year.
All the other matches were solid, with no real threatening injuries that I can think of.
Other thoughts:
As you may or may not know, the booking team has been completely revamped. We have some additional staff and writers in a bid to streamline production and spread the load. I have been doing this for many years and seen many bookers, but I am already very impressed with their work so far. This could be the best era of the ECWA Yet.
One of the things I love is the Double Jeopardy idea. 3 of the best battling it out to determine who really is the best. It will give my Pristine title prestige and honor, and there can be no disputing that the winner doesn't deserve it. And Anthony I will pin Zack and become a five time Pristine champ. Book it…Dano…..
And finally a hearty congrats to 2 departments in the ECWA. The Web Development team, who have done a cracking job to produce the best Website we have ever had, and the Promotions department for working night and day to get everyone's promotional photographs done.
I'll see you next week

Zack to defend Hardcore and Pristien titles at PPV``xacrowley``xDue to Kaydin Taneau Kaydin Taneau defeating Rick Storm at the last ECWA PPV....Breaking Point 6 to have the exclusive naming rights to the next PPV of this great company. Well last week at Fusion Dante Magnum announced the naming rights. Junes ppv with be named Dead on Arrival and he named the main event. And what a main event. Michael Vincent vs Jip. But he didnt stop there. Its been confirmed that Zack T will be defending the ECWA Hardcore Championship against Jason Anthony.
But the ECWA Chairman Rick Storm has trumped that match with the backing of Sheila Spires and get this added former four time Pristine champion Mr. Showtime Allister Crowley to the mix. And the ECWA Pristine Championship will also be on the line! The rules are simple… Zack will defend both titles in one match, where, in that one match, to eliminate Jason Anthony’s challenge, Zack must score a fall on Jason, and to eliminate Allister’s threat, Zack must score a fall on him. But there’s a catch… if Zack gets pinned, then the match is over!
From what we are getting from the ECWA front office is if Jason pins Zack before Allister does, Jason wins the Hardcore Championship, and the match is over. If Allister pins Zack before Jason, then Allister wins the Pristine title, and the match is over. Basically, it works like this… Zack has to score a victory over each of his opponents to eliminate them from the match, and retain that specific title, however, Jason and Allister will both be working against one another, because the moment Zack is pinned, only one title changes hands!
Let me tell you Dead On Arrival just got a whole lot more intense!``xEkukEVllEAdgWYxxmR``x1242162419``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/ecwa/results/anarchy170.html``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xECWA``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

DWF APB- ASAP``xChairmanAndrews``xSAVANNAH - The Defiant Wrestling Federation (DWF) has put out an All Points Bulletin for Interested Talent to become part of the DWF. Male and Female Wrestlers, Managers, Referees, and Broadcasters are asked to forward their information to the DWF Offices in Savannah, GA...
"We're out to bring back to truest sense of the word - Wrestling," said Chairman Andrews via phone. "We're not Sports Entertainers and we're not looking for Hollywood-type talent. The DWF has prided itself in being a wrestling federation for the Everyman and We want that Everyman... or Everywoman, to showcase their talents in and out of the DWF Ring."
Andrews added, "You can visit the website or contact me directly at chairmandwf@yahoo.com for more info and details. I can't wait for the DWF to become Indistructible once again."
The Defiant Wrestling Federation is a hybrid Roleplay/Angle Based federation using original wrestlers. In business since 1998, The DWF has gone through changes and overhauls but one thing still remains, Quality. The DWF is returning back to the wrestling landscape so this is the perfect time to jump onboard. TNT (rated TV-PG or TV-14) is our Flagship Television Product (Currently in a Sunday Night Two Hour Time Slot on Versus) with 4 PPV's (rated TV-MA) scheduled through the year.``xEkupZlpZulaOyeXEKl``x1240784348``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://defiant.fwrestling.com``xDWF puts out APB for New and Veteran Talent``x``xd3.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xDWF``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
``xswalegend``x``xEkupVZypuyqeJPqHgs``x1240579646``xleague``x16381150604590``x``xhttp://www.shootclub,com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xShootclub - The Ultimate Fantasy Wrestling Experience - is one of the premier fantasy wrestling games on the internet. It is a text-based wrestling role playing game (RPG) in which hundreds of players from all over the globe create their own made-up professional wrestlers and compete with each other in our many fantasy leagues.
JOINING SHOOTCLUB To play, all you need is a valid email address. You can find the link to the sign-up page at the top right hand corner of this page and the home page.
Once you join, you will be given a password to enter the PlayerZone. From there you are able to create wrestlers, tag teams, and stables of your very own.
All new wrestlers must be original. We do not allow exact duplicate names in our game and we do not allow copycats of real wrestlers.
GETTING STARTED New wrestlers are placed into Shootcamp, the training facility for Shootclub. You will have to spend the remainder of the current month that you joined in Shootcamp but you will be able to transfer out to a real league for the next month of action.
Once you've cut your teeth in Shootcamp, your new wrestler can be moved into one of many groups, called leagues. Each league has its own titles, matches, and rankings. New leagues will open as new players join the game. To test out real league action, we suggest a move to Shootcamp Wrestling (SCW) in order to get your feet wet with wrestlers of equal experience. Then, you can decide if Shootclub is for you, order some cycles, and join a regular league.
ROLEPLAYING Over the course of the cycle (month), wrestlers are encouraged to submit promos to their league. A promo (flash or roleplay) is a written description of your wrestler's actions or comments. They can be as descriptive or non-descriptive as you like. Promos are the best way to get your wrestler 'over' with the other players in the league and also the best method for conducting feuds and alliances. They are also the easiest way to get you noticed by promoters and placed on the TV shows and pay-per-views.
Promos are voted on by fellow players (you cannot vote for your own promo) and scored. The scoring of promos contribute directly to your wrestler's role playing score, which helps your wrestler move up in the rankings and also gain experience, and your charisma score which is used directly in matches to help determine the damage caused by one's finisher or comeback specialty.
SHOWS & MATCHES While you contribute by submitting your promos, the software and the promoters complete the picture with the crux of the game, the matches. There are two types of matches in Shootclub: 'house show' and 'promoter booked' matches.
House show matches occur on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. On the weekday shows, your competitor faces one opponent in a three-match series. However, on 'Showdown Saturdays', you will face a specific wrestler with which you are 'feuding' in special grudge matches.
House show matches are simulated using the arsenals, attributes, and roleplaying scores of the competitors in order to keep things fair and unbiased. The matchups, who fights who, are determined by the software which uses rankings, fan alignment, tag teams and stables, all as measures as to who would be the best opponents for each wrestler.
'Promoter booked' matches are those that occur on promoter events, in the form of television shows and pay-per-views. These reports are written 'long-form', often with many segments and play-by-play commentary. A promoter can decide the results based on roleplaying ability, experience, arsenal strength, actual house show results, or simply work out a result that would most logically forward a storyline.
WINNING TITLES There are two types of championship titles in Shootclub: official (Heavyweight, TV, Tag Team) and promoter titles. The official belts are defended on the house shows using the simulation engine. The champion receives an advantage over the challenger so that titles do not change hands too often. Promoter titles are created and the winners are determined solely by the promoter and are only defended on the promoter events.
The governing body of all the leagues, the Shootclub Wrestling Alliance (SWA), has its own belts as well, all of which are 'official' titles that are defended on house shows using the Shootclub simulation engine. The SWA World Heavyweight and Tag Team titles are defended against the top league Heavyweight and Tag Team champions, respectively, in all of the SWA. The United States and International champions defend against the top TV champions from the territories that fit under their domain.
STATS & STRATEGY Shootclub has the most expansive collection of statistics offered in a wrestling game. We have rankings for everything from wrestlers to tag teams to stables to players to promos to even our out-of-character forums. The most important stat is 'ranking points' and this score is determined by adding up how you have done in the past with how you did this month at win and losses, quality of opposition and roleplaying.
The biggest intangible in Shootclub is the arsenal system which is basically like a lottery or stock market game. You first must define your wrestlers style using 3 categories (Power, Science, Dexterity) and then choose the best moves (point-wise) based on your style. The move values fluctuate each and every month and part of the game is to guess where the moves will go for the next cycle before it happens. There is quite a bit of luck involved but also some strategy, just enough so to make the results change from month to month.
SUCCESS IN SHOOTCLUB As you play Shootclub and your wrestler is successful, they gain experience points. These experience points are used to make your wrestler better through ability attributes. This system is designed to make it so players that are dedicated can acheive a cetain level of success and maintain that level through perseverence and dedication.
FREE TO TRY WITH NO OBLIGATION Due to the costs with running the site we need to charge a small monthly fee for Shootclub. However, new players can try the game for nearly 5 months without paying a thing. Our training facility, Shootcamp, is completely free and all wrestlers can stay there for up to 75 days. Also, new players can have their wrestlers join our training league, Shootcamp Wrestling, which is also free, and can compete there for the first 4 months of a player's Shotoclub career.
Also, signing up means zero obligation to Shootclub. You can try our game out for a day, a week, or 5 months and leave without any reason or paying a single dime. You don't even have to tell us you are leaving, you just have to stop using the site. By offerring this zero committment, long opportunity to try the game out we hope that you won't be afraid to give us a try.
HOW MUCH? A frequently asked question before people want to join is how much does it cost to play. Shootclub can cost as little as $2 per month to play if you buy a few months of action at a time. ``x``xOther``xWeekly``x2001``xAlways accepts applications``x``x``xYes``xSWA``xShootclub Wrestling Alliance``xJoel RJ Tennuchi``xjoelrjt@aol.co.uk``x``xYes``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xlogo3.jpg``x``x``x``x``x

Killing of the King: Part 6 and Epilogue``xChad``xI declare war on every government, war against all odds.
CSWA Gold Rush was conceived with two thoughts in mind from Commissioner Stephen Thomas: a punishment for Unified Champion Troy Windham for his refusal to face either his brother Mark Windham, or the former CSWA World Champion and perennial top contender Dan Ryan, and a way to bring the CSWA back to the forefront with a splash. In a nutshell, there would be five rings with battle – royal style matches happening simultaneously. Each outer ring would have a winner and a runner – up; the winner would win either one of the three secondary CSWA championships or an automatic Unified Title shot at any time, and the winner and runner – up would gain access to the center ring, where Troy would be defending the Unified Title itself against them.
To his continued credit, Troy dove into the Gold Rush with abandon, rapidly showing every other wrestler who was involved why he was called The Epitome. As an open challenge, wrestlers who would never have thought to have competed in the CSWA piled in against the Champion, in hopes of adding their names to the immortals who had worn the Unified World Championship.
Among the non – contracted wrestlers who threw their name in the ring, there was a man who last wrestled in the CSWA at CSWA17: Rebirth, the 2005 Anniversary celebration. ‘Total Elimination’ Eli Flair. When asked, Flair would say he didn’t think any of the other wrestlers in the contest knew what it was to go up against Troy Windham, and that he was entered solely to make sure Troy did not leave the Gold Rush event with the Unified Championship.
Both men appeared to take a wide berth of each other during the preliminary build up to the event, presumably because both knew, to take it to the level they had previously gone would have essentially negated both their presences in the Gold Rush. They barely interacted during the center ring itself, as Eli would be eliminated by the runner – up in the official match, Eron the Relentless, and Troy would defy all odds and fulfill his guarantee that he would attain victory in the Gold Rush.
Of course, mere moments after the Gold Rush ended, ‘Ego Buster’ Dan Ryan would cash in his title shot and fulfill Eli’s guarantee, that Troy would not leave CSWA18 with the Unified World Championship. Eli would subsequently walk out of the Merritt Auditorium, his CSWA career officially completed.
Epilogue: The cool remnant of a dream
It’s impossible to predict where each man’s career would have ended up if Troy had not defeated Eli for the CSWA Presidential Championship all the way back in 1997, or if Troy had not added insult to injury with his orchestrated Frat beatdown of the King of Extreme in the moments after the match. That incident and everything that spawned from it put a focus in Eli Flair that turned his never – say – die, shrug – off – all – injury tendancies to an obsession that propelled him to the top of the sport, and it gave Troy Windham the reputation as a man that could never be stopped.
It redefined what it meant for two wrestlers to be in a blood feud. Mike Randalls putting a wooden stake through GUNS’ knee, long the standard bearer for the farthest any man had gone to hurt another in the business, was almost universally shoved aside by the image of Eli standing on Troy’s broken hand, casually snapping his fingers one, two, three.
Professional wrestling, in general, and the CSWA in particular, had seen epic feuds and battles through its entire run – America’s Team, GUNS, Randalls, the Diamond Exchange, the Intruders, the CORPORATION, PLR, and every conceivable combination of opponents contained therein. In every other case, there was a hero and a villain and they were easily identified. Not here. In this case, the “hero” in the loosest possible terms, Eli Flair, inflicted the most grievous, most depraved acts of violence against his opponent, and the “villain” in the same loose terms, Troy Windham proved himself as one of the most resilient, stubborn, and talented men who had ever stepped between the ropes.
Both men were propelled into iconic status despite their best efforts. Troy’s pinup – good looks and Hollywood personality made him a natural spokesman for professional wrestling as legitimate entertainment, and remained on the elusive “A” list despite personal demons and public scandal. Eli, in contrast, was a loner, a private citizen, and an iconic anti – celebrity that made him a reluctant hero to the counterculture of society, the “cool factor in the music videos” that Sammy Benson coined, that gave any attempt at alternative entertainment the legitimacy it – often desperately – sought.
“Culture meets counterculture,” Ivy McGinnis was quoted as saying, in reference to Troy and Eli, “Wherever there’s culture there will be counterculture, and there will always be a natural friction between the two. Add in the professional wrestling – sized egos and it’s a recipe ripe for disaster.”
It’s impossible to measure exactly how this feud altered the course of professional wrestling in and of itself, but the sport, much like the two men involved, has been irrevocably changed from their presence. ``xEkFlAVZEkyAMMQtTGS``x1238960726``xfeature``x53481091834249``x``x``xThe ultimate feud between Eli Flair and Troy Windham comes to an end?``x``x``xfeatures.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x19342``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Killing of the King: Part Five``xChad``xKiss me, it’ll heal, but it won’t forget
At NFW Crashmas 2004, far from the lights and media of Greensboro, two mysteries were shockingly solved, as El Toro was unmasked to reveal the part – owner, the PROFESSIONAL, ‘Cocky’ Craig Miles, and the Highwayman unmasked himself to reveal Troy Windham. Conflict and strife that stretched as far back as 1992 were suddenly thrust to the forefront of the professional wrestling world as never before. Troy had apparently lost any sense of humility that he seemed to gain when he was wheeled out of the Cage, and he was as ready as ever to make yet another mark on the world of professional wrestling.
What he hadn’t counted on was the fact that, in the year prior, Craig Miles had renewed his friendship with ‘Poison’ Ivy McGinnis, and McGinnis had become one of his few confidants. Miles would invite McGinnis, Eli, and Eli’s wife, rock, goth, and blues singer Angel of Valerian’s Garden, to WRESTLEBOWL, the crowning night of the first Ultratitle season. It is still unknown what Miles hoped to achieve that night, but rumor is that he placed the responsibility for Troy’s actions on Eli’s head. Instead of teaching Troy humility, Miles would imply that the fact that Troy survived Eli’s onslaught had simply taught the Epitome that he could overcome anything, and he began to act accordingly.
Miles would lay an offer to Eli on the spot, against the advice of fellow legend Tom Adler and fellow former ClaimStaker Mike Randalls, to both be a part of NFW Ultratitle Season 2, and resolve the unfinished business with Troy. The details are still confidential, other than the brawl that took place in the ring just before the Ultratitle finals between Shane Southern and Michael Manson, and a single line that Ivy McGinnis spoke into her telephone during the backstage meeting.
“He knows what has to be done,” Ivy had said.
But Troy was distracted. His obligations as Unified World Champion left his time in the NFW Season 2 limited, and he was barely able to fulfill his part in the season. Indeed, the rapid build of the Wrestle Stock pay – per – view event that was scheduled to be headlined by “Eli vs. Troy, the Final Chapter” seemed lackluster until the final weeks.
Wrestle Stock was the NFW’s answer to the link other ‘Extreme’ sports had with nu – punk and speed metal. Miles’ intention was to have a full tour through California, with the crowning peak to be an outdoors pay – per – view event with a live band and the best wrestling anywhere in the world.
For music, Miles went to Valerian’s Garden. He knew the band through Eli and Ivy, and knew they could do what he wanted in the musical sense. Angel would later say that they were hired to play two dates, and ended up staying for a month, jamming on the beach at all hours of the day. Regardless, Wrestle Stock was all about the wrestling and the music, until the show before the pay – per – view. In the final moments of the main event that saw Eli Flair exact a measure of revenge on ‘Kodiak’ Vic Creed for Creed’s domination of their fWo World Championship match three years earlier, an explosion rocked the night sky.
Troy Windham had set the Valerian’s Garden bus on fire with two band members still inside.
It had been personal before, but now it was a family affair.
As if contrasted to the fire on the bus, the Wrestle Stock pay – per – view saw a torrential downpour that threatened the safety of the band and the wrestlers. Any other company would have cancelled, but NFW was always about pushing the envelope, and the show went off without a hitch.
In the main event, Eli Flair would finally gain the submission victory from Troy Windham that was denied him five years earlier, but it seemed a hollow victory, quickly overshadowed by Miles’ announcement regarding the Ultratitle playoffs. The match itself would quickly prove to mean nothing in the grand scheme of their feud, as Eli would reach the final match of the NFW West before losing another war to eventual Ultratitle 2.0 winner Nova, and Troy would return to the CSWA with his biggest challenge in his sights.``xEkFlFZElkpGXRaTrqW``x1238375420``xfeature``x53481091834249``x``x``xThe series continues as the feud moves into the NFW and Troy Windham attacks Eli's family.``x``x``xdefaultfw.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x19314``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
New Era Begins``xscw``xThe first Wildcard after Cancun Clash showed some new beginnings while at the same time, some things just wouldn't die.
In the main event of the evening, Andrew Clash retained his United Championship in a Cancun Clash rematch over J.T. Cash. The match had some controversy to it however as Jack Sharp was involved. Stu Who?, who successfully won his return to SCW match earlier, saved Cash from a 2 on 1 beating and found out he and Cash would be partners this coming week in the tag title tournament against Clash and Sharp.
In the other side of the tourney, the self proclaimed tag team champions Charles Max & Lizzette Morgan defeated Wolf & Miguel Soto when Soto walked out on Wolf. This duo is just one match away from winning what is rightfully theirs.
Doug E. Fresh officially challenged former partner Ryan Ruckus to a match at Original Sin. He hasn't yet offically accepted the challenge but it's very clear that he wants a piece of the owner.
And M.D.K. was making sure everyone knew he was the new Global Champion. After AC Thunder defeated Jack Sharp however, AC broke up M.D.K.'s championship address and tried to beat the hell out of him. That's when Mr. Chaos made this coming week's main event as AC & Ruckus take on Doug and M.D.K.!
The Black Rose signed her SCW contract and one thing was made clear...she wants a shot at the women's title. Larks Marks has something to say about that however as she won a triple threat match over Amber & Alexis Steele making her seem to be the number one contender to Foxy Fox.``xEkFlFuZZEVSGDCNPoK``x1238351315``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://scwonline.fwrestling.com/home.php``xThe first Wildcard after Cancun Clash showed some new beginnings while at the same time, some things just wouldn't die.``x``xscw-1.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xSCW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

2-4-09 NEWSWIRE``xSexy_Bo``x*Blood and the Bluegrass Mafia 2.0 have next week off, due to injuries sustained during the "Winter Blast II" show last night. Bubba J, will have to tough it out with his injuries, cause Rex has no intention of letting Bubba out of his matches. *MacCulloch is the number one contender for the Carolinas championship after winning the tournament final last night. His title match date has yet to be set, but rumors have it that it will be scheduled for "March Madness 2009".
*After making sure that Vincent Black got eliminated from the Six Man Tag, Junior Soprano secured his job in REBEL. He did however gain some enemies to do so, but might find some actual allies now as well.
*The announcement of Casino and Cartwright fighting for the REBEL World Tag Team belts in March made huge waves through the REBEL Locker Room. They wasn't well received back in the Fall when they competed in the "Best of the Best Tag Tournament." The REBEL roster has changed somewhat since then, so maybe the hostility won't be quite as high this go around.
*A new number one contender for the World Tag Titles will be determined over the next two weeks. Time Warp Duo does battle with allies Massacre and Everhardt this week. The winner goes on to the Underground to face the undefeated team of BGM 2.0.
*After competing in, but losing two straight match of the nights, one of which was voted match of the month, Bird of Prey is itching for a big win. He takes on REBEL veteran Cuzin Zeke this week, and the winner will be positioning himself really good in the rankings and will be considered for a future Carolinas title shot.
*Speaking of Bird of Prey, as news of the Seventh Supershow was officially announced, he has been trying to convince Rex Caliber to book him versus a NAPW superstar. Rex hasn't officially signed anything yet, but will be talking with Donovan Astros over the next few weeks, gathering match ideas for the huge event.
*Last night The Great Alaskan Ninjas tied the first REBEL Tag Champs for consecutive title defenses with four. A huge accomplishment to say the least.

POST UNDERGROUND NEWSWIRE``xSexy_Bo``x*As a result of property damage, resisting arrest and being drunk and disorderly, Bubba J was arrested last night in Durham, NC at the Underground show. He has yet to make bail.
*Rumors are flying concerning the reason Vincent Black has asked to tag with Junior Soprano and Ca$h this week. The most repeated one was that Black is looking for a replacement for the recently ousted Bubba J in the Extreme Elite. No one can confirm those rumors however.
*Speaking of Ca$h, Rex Caliber has signed him versus MacCulloch in an "I Quit" match at the Barroom Brawl show. MacCulloch had earlier in the week asked for a Submission match at the REBEL Underground in February. Rex didn't like the idea of a submission match, but does like hearing someone yell into a microphone that they indeed... QUIT!
*Rex has been questioned about the three matches he has signed Bubba J for at Barroom Brawl. A quote from Rex says: "Bubba wants me to hit him, he wants me to get physical. After last night, he has proved that he will stoop to any level to get me riled up so I'll slap his grin off his face. Cause he knows if I do, I'll get fired. No owner wants his picked supervisor hitting his other employees. It was a trap, but rest assured, that I have the support of the owner for the matches I've booked. Plus the tickets are selling quick."
*Chet Whettleson is hosting a special poll on the fan forums, trying to figure out who Mikey Massacre was talking about seeking help from, when he spoke last night at the Underground. The unstable Massacre has been nothing but a mystery for the last several weeks.
*The Great Alaskan Ninjas! are aiming to tie the first REBEL Tag Champs record for most successful title defenses. The Foundation made four successful defenses back in the Summer of 2007. On a side note, the only title to be defended successfully more than four times was the World title. Rex Caliber and Kyle Roberts, fellow REBEL Icons, defended it six times each. The Carolinas title has been defended successfully four times, on two occasions.The Great Alaskan Ninjas! face the Young Leons at "Winter Blast II". ``xEkFkAFkEuFJGqbmvSu``x1232935743``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/``xLast nights Underground show was full of twists and turns.

NEWSWIRE 1-14-09``xSexy_Bo``x*The Handicap match, and it's controversial ending has prompted Rex Caliber to change one of the schedule matches at "Winter Blast II". Blood versus Bubba J will now be a Three Way Grudge Match, as Mikey Massacre now joins the match. That match will have a whole butt load of hate in it!
*After his attack on MacCulloch, Ca$h has caught the attention of someone... The World Champ. "Sick" Billy Kryenik, a rumored relative of some sort to MacCulloch, asked Rex to sign a match between him and Ca$h at the Underground. With Rex's past, a victory over the champ would possibly be a one way ticket to a Spot on the List!
*The Semifinals of the Number One Contenders Tournament continues at the Underground. El Rey de Corazones will take on a meaner and totally more vicious Cuzin Zeke. The other tourney match sees two newcomers, Bird of Prey and "The Celtic Legend" MacCulloch doing battle. The finals will take place at "Winter Blast II".
*With "Sick" Billy fighting at the Underground, Rex found it only fair to have his "Winter Blast II" opponent wrestle too. So, Everhardt will take on "Sweet" Junior Soprano in what is being dubbed a "Tune Up" match. Don't think Junior will be happy being called a tune up opponent.
*Team P.H.A.T demanded a rematch with The Bluegrass Mafia and have been granted it. A Double Tables match will take place at the Underground, and these two teams will take their feud to a new violent level! This will be the first Tables match in REBEL since May 2008.
*A battle of the newer guys will also take place at the Underground. Riley Vegas and "Jimmy" James Porter will wrestle, hoping to move up the rankings, or in Vegas' case, get in the rankings! A great opportunity for both men to make a move for bigger and better things.
*Finally on a sad note, Warren, REBEL's beloved Circle K dweller has been hospitalized after a brutal match with Vincent Black. At this time, no one knows how long the former Tag Champ will be out of action. Due to the loss, REBEL will be having it's February 11th show at Hardcore Drinking, Vincent Black and Bubba J's bar. Rex has named the event, "Barroom Brawl", pun indeed intended! ``xEkFEAlkFEVojudXAQu``x1231985915``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/``xAfter the "Extreme Measures" show last night, tons of news came out.

NEWSWIRE``xSexy_Bo``x*Rex Caliber developed a Number One Contender's Tournament to settle who gets the shot at the Carolinas title in February. Six men will face off this week, going on to the Underground to fight in Semifinal matches. El Rey de Corazones received a bye in the tournament after a coin flip decided between him and MacCulloch. (They are the only contenders who won Tuesday.)
*Rex Caliber has determined that Nick Everhardt will receive his World title shot, versus New Champ Billy Kryenik at "Winter Blast II", on Wednesday, February Fourth.
*Also on that card, the first ever meeting between Blood and The Ragin' Redneck will take place. A lot of men are gunning for Bubba, and Rex has had his phone ringing off the hook with guys wanting a piece of the former champ.
*That "Winter Blast II" show will also feature the World Tag Team title match between The Young Leons and champions, The Great Alaskan Ninjas!
*REBEL has another tag team on it's roster, as Chris Sparx and MarK Kingston have officially joined the team roster. They will be known as the Soldiers of the Apocalypse.

XWE and TNA Contract``xnzane``xEarlier this morning, XWE owner N-Zane met with TNA Owner Jerry Jarrett. After long negotiations, they came to terms with a new contract. TNA wrestlers are allowed to participate in XWE events. With that contract signed, XWE Welcomed its newest superstar, Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle found a loophole in the contract which allowed him to sign with XWE if he was more satisfied with the new company, in which he was.
Kurt Angle then challenged N-Zane to a match at a houseshow. After N-Zane lost to Kurt Angle, Angle issued a challenge for Ravage. N-Zane accepted his challenge. Kurt Angle then took it a step further, attacking N-Zane from behind. Angle then added the stipulation that if N-Zane lost, he had to shave his head.

Taking home a whopping 56% of the voting with 18 votes, even those who hate him acknowledge the tremendous year Krusty Kid Paul has had. KKP started the year as one-half of the Tag Team champions along with Tommy Deathrow. After breaking off from his long-time friend, KKP established himself as a new force in singles competition, culminating in an NAPW World Title win. With wins over names like "LDK" Lloyd Rees, D!, Billy Kryenik, Tommy Deathrow, Mystic Exposition and Stone Zellor, KKP capped off a renaissance year by retaining the NAPW championship against "The Show" Chad Kurtis - ending Kurtis' NAPW career in the process. KKP is without a doubt the NAPW Wrestler of the Year.
TAG TEAM OF THE YEAR Chris Casino & Evan Cartwright (45%)
Faces of Death (24%) Mystic Exposition (15%) Sexy Adorable Drunks (12%) Chris Kamikaze & Stein (3%)
How can you deny the success? Chris Casino & Evan Cartwright returned to NAPW, supposedly for a four show "reunion tour." Instead, they won every match they had en route to becoming two-time NAPW tag team champions, and then broke the record for tag title defenses. They also broke into the top ten longest title reigns. Casino & Cartwright have only one loss in regular tag team action in 2008 with an astounding 7-3-1 record. It's no wonder 47% of fans voted them as tag team of the year! Not bad for a team returning "temporarily."
NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR Trent Daniels (42%)
Jer$ey (24%) Danny Chaos (21%) O'Connor Boys (6%) KBOND (6%)
Fans were split between three men for this vote, but by the end, Trent Daniels pulled away from the pack. Daniels spent most of 2008 embroiled in lengthy, heated feuds with three different men... three of the best NAPW has to offer. D!, "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan, and Jake Phoenix had all they could handle and more from the newcomer. Daniels spent much of the year wrestling through a series of rib injures, a gutsy performance that impressed fans and peers. Daniels was the man to unseat Stone Zellor as Heritage Champion, and made it to the final round of the 2008 Canada Cup (he lost to Dan Ryan). In the final months of the year, fans have seen a new side of Trent Daniels, as he seems willing to go to any lengths to win matches and is now on the receiving end of boos. Still, 40% of voters is enough to secure him the Newcomer of the Year award.
COMEBACK OF THE YEAR D! (36%)
Chris Casino & Evan Cartwright (27%) Billy Kryenik (15%) Ravager (12%) Bruce "The Beast" Richards (9%)
For much of the voting, it looked like Dirty Money were going to walk away with another award. Then the votes began pouring in for D!. When the dust cleared, it was D! taking the winner's share of the purse. That D! returned to NAPW at all after vanishing in late 2006 was a shocker. The malevolent D! returned at Sole Survivor and almost won the whole thing if it wasn't for Trent Daniels. Engaging in epic feuds with Daniels, "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan and even getting into it with Dirty Money, D! has kept himself busy - even if it means pounding on Joey Malone again and again. D! was unsuccessful in his only NAPW World Title shot in 2008, but fans have to wonder: How long before the former face of NAPW once again holds championship gold?
MOST POPULAR OF THE YEAR "LDK" Lloyd Rees (45%)
Billy Kryenik (21%) Bruce "The Beast" Richards (15%) "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan (9%) "WHITE CHOCOLATE~" Tiffany Macintyre (9%)
"Da Technical Terror"... and undeniably the most popular man in New Alberta Pro. Even if most fans can't understand what the hell he's talking about beneath an increasingly thick Newfie accent. The most decorated man in NAPW history spent 2008 doing what he does best: Win. And win big, taking home the Sole Survivor match, a second Tagstravaganza victory, and a top-notch World Title run. As Rees blew roof after roof off with potential MOTY candidates, the fans cheered louder and louder. With a commanding 45% of the vote, it's clear that the fans are behind the "East-Coast Sensation." The only thing that could put his popularity even higher... is dethroning the Faces of Death for the tag team titles with his partner Dan Ryan.
MOST HATED OF THE YEAR Krusty Kid Paul (36%) / Ravager (36%)
D! (15%) KRENSHOV (6%) Chris Casino (6%)
Krusty Kid Paul or Ravager? That was the question as the votes came in and almost every other vote was for either man. In the end, the fans agreed that they hated the current NAPW World Champ and one-half of the Tag Team champions equally.
Last year, Ravager was voted both Wrestler of the Year and Most Popular. How things have changed. In the summer, Ravager turned his back then-partner Dez Carter and the NAPW fans, aligning with KRENSHOV as the Faces of Death. The level of violence the FoD have brought to NAPW is unprecedented; they have injured and forced out of NAPW several wrestlers. Their most shocking act of violence put NAPW Commissioner Terry Brandon into a coma. Yet although virtually all of Ravager's despicable acts have been as unit with KRENSHOV, clearly the fans were almost willing and ready to hate Kenny Krenshov. But Ravager, at one-time the savior of NAPW and perhaps at one time the most popular man in history, betrayed them. And they may not ever forgive.
As far as the current World Champion goes, the fans hated Krusty Kid Paul the entire year. First he and Tommy Deathrow nearly put The Expositioner out of wrestling. Then KKP turned on Deathrow. But as much as the fans hated him then, they would come to hate him even more as NAPW World Champion. The title put KKP into a position to do what he loves most: crush the dreams of all around him. As one part of Dirty Money, KKP has kept all challengers out of his reach. But perhaps the act that makes fans hate him more than ever is the one he committed at the close of 2008: forcing "The Show" Chad Kurtis out of NAPW... for good. And as 2009 begins, the two most hated men in NAPW are still on top. What will the new year hold?
MOST IMPROVED OF THE YEAR Krusty Kid Paul (76%)
Trent Daniels (15%) Jer$ey (9%)
The year of the Showstoppa continues. KKP trounced his competition in vote-getting. Again, as with wrestler of the year, it seems that the fans of NAPW - despite their noted hatred for the man - have no choice but to recognize the banner year Paul has had. When KKP debuted in NAPW, he seemed to be destined for the mid-card, largely acting as Tommy Deathrow's lackey. After a prolonged absence, KKP returned and finally won tag gold with Tommy. It wasn't until after SAD broke up that the fans truly began to see how much KKP had altered. Slowly but surely, KKP began racking up wins in the singles division. KKP surprised everybody when he came just within a three-count of defeating "LDK" Lloyd Rees for the World title. It was a clear sign that Krusty Kid Paul was evolving into a top-level competitor.
Then he won the World Title and truly became a CHAMPION. From lowly curtain jerker, to tag team champion, to the most dominating NAPW champion since Ravager, KKP walks away with the Most Improved Wrestler award.
FEUD OF THE YEAR "The Show" Chad Kurtis vs Krusty Kid Paul (30%)
Chris Casino vs Faces of Death (15%) "LDK" Lloyd Rees vs Jake Phoenix (12%) "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan vs D! (12%) Mystic Exposition vs Sexy Adorable Drunks (3%)
There were any number of heated, intense feuds in NAPW over 2008. But when the dust settled, perhaps the feud with the biggest ramifications received the most votes. "The Show" Chad Kurtis and KKP began their feud by meeting in a #1 Contender's match to the World Title. The match ended in a draw and saw both men receiver a World Title match against then-champion "LDK" Lloyd Rees. In the title match, KKP pinned Rees. Then began "The Show's" pursuit of another title shot and KKP's refusal to give him one. KKP taunted "The Show" through-out the fall, but in a non-title encounter and tag encounters, KKP could beat "The Show" but never pin him. Finally, the two met at Black Thursday IV in a Last Man Standing encounter. With copious help from paramour Suzy Scum, KKP defeated the tenacious, heroic "The Show" Chad Kurtis. Kurtis, honoring his vow, would leave NAPW, being unable to win the World Title before 2008 ended. KKP not only won the feud, but has made it so that he will never have to face "The Show" again.

Tying in with the feud of the year, the fans have voted the final match of 2008 as the Match of The Year. "The Show" vs KKP in a Last Man Standing match tore the house down, as each man used every weapon in his arsenal and then some to put his opponent down for the ten count. "The Show" seemingly would not die, but one last K-Cutter through a steel chair finally put a bloody, unwavering Kurtis down for the count, and out of NAPW. It was one hell of a way to go out, even if the fans could wish for a different result.

12/3 NEWSWIRE``xSexy_Bo``x*After wrestling with a concussion that he suffered in late November, Duncan Aries suffered some disc displacement in his recent encounter last night. His time out is unknown at this time, but REBEL wishes him best in his recovery of both injuries.
*The Extreme Elite swept their matches and for the first time in REBEL history, one faction has EVERY SINGLE BELT REBEL has to offer. They will be Champions going into the New Year, with only the Supershow left on the REBEL schedule.
*Mikey Masscacre has no rematch for the Carolinas title but does have the promised World Tag Team Title shot for January. His partner is still unknown, but expect Mikey to announce him over the Holiday's.
*Nick Everhardt is the only name on the list so far. He will get his rematch in the New Year. Rex has stated that Everhardt vs Redneck III will be epic, but the two need a slight breather before tearing down the house one on one again.
*No one knows the condition of The Young Leons. Thunderbug was looking for them backstage, and even he couldn't find them. Chet hopes to have information as soon as possible.
*Blood has warned REBEL and now NAPW stars that if they show up for the Ultimate Hardcore Battle Royal, that he will not be held responsible for the injuries he inflicts. Anyone who saw his methodical, yet chaotic destruction of Duncan will be wise to listen to him.
*Cuzin' Zeke will not be going to Canada, this Tuesday. He has prior engagements already booked. He is looking forward to the New Year and hopes that 2009 will be the year he wins a singles title.
*Rex is planning a huge recruitment campaign in the next several weeks to add to the very strong core roster REBEL has already. ``xEkklFuVFZVRibRfMyt``x1228348975``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/``xThe Extreme Elite took all the gold at "Merrytime Massacre II".

Throwbacks Find GCW Tougher Than Ever``xgcw``xA three-time GCW World Heavyweight Champion, the only one in history. A Hall of Fame member. The original "greatest of all time."
Buried alive.
For Octavian, a return to GCW was meant to be a return to glory. Instead it was one set of setbacks after another, culminating with an unceremonious end. This week Octavian was put six feet under by fellow GCW original Bryan Mayhem, and he is not expected to surface.
Things have been easier for Mayhem, current GCW Tag Team Champion as part of Oblivion, but his size gives him considerable staying power. Mayhem has managed to elevate his game over the years, and his return to the company resulted in a World Title reign in 2007. Since then Mayhem has struggled to recapture the magic, but the fact remains that Mayhem has adapted to the new era of GCW better than some of his counterparts.
Wrestling fans have notoriously short memories, despite the fact that GCW is a company deeply committed to remembering its rich history. For a company that opened in 2001 and has roots going back a year earlier, history is a vital part of the present. And while the current generation of GCW wrestlers and fans may not be fully aware of it, they cannot escape the hints of the company's past.
And the company's past lingers because of the incredible commitment to the brand GCW seems to instill.
Nobody knows it better than Mr. Danger. Danger, whose attitude has certainly soured lately (with his self-titled "Mr. Danger Appreciation Day" on tap for this week), dates all the way back to 2000 when he served as Steven Caldera's first boss. Danger recruited Caldera out of the training circuit and made him a star, and eight months later GCW was born.
Caldera's meteoric rise to power certainly caused friction with his former employer. The tables quickly turned, and for the better part of the last decade it's been Danger working for Caldera. Danger is an incredibly proud individual who is still considered to be a top-notch promoter in some circles, but when he decided to return to the business he returned with GCW. It is impossible to decipher their complicated relationship, but it is clear that, despite their long rivalry, Danger feels a bond to GCW that cannot be broken.
Danger, who declined to comment for this story, is fond of telling anyone who listens of his role in the development of GCW. His guidance of Caldera no doubt aided in the creation of the company. But, while GCW has always been synonymous with Caldera's name, the pride in the company stems from the incredible talent that has graced its rings. The history is so rich, the list of alumni so deep and talented, that to step into a GCW ring is to brush elbows with some of the best of all time.
On that list is Jason Dread. The Hall of Famer returned at WorldWide 100 to challenge Jay Terror for the World Title, and very nearly left with the belt. Dread has shown that his skills have not diminished, and still make him a threat in the current era. Dread has spanned two generations of GCW, perhaps the only man to do so; he won his first World Title in 2002, and his second when the company reopened in 2005.
For his part, Dread resisted offers to return to GCW for nearly a year. The company pursued him hard for some time before he finally relented when offered the shot at Terror. What started as a one-night contract turned into a full time deal when Dread became hooked on the spotlight once again.
But Dread is one of the few wrestlers capable of being successful over the years. GCW has evolved at a torrid pace, to the point that this incarnation of the company is hardly comparable to the original. Current stars such as Andy Murray, Vivica J. Valentine, Chris Bagwell and Digital Mortality have replaced such legendary names as Octavian, Toxic, Luke Hanson and The Jhub. And long-tenured stars such as LeStatt Knight, Vivica J. Valentine and Lia Ambrosi are finding it increasingly difficult to keep pace. GCW has become a magnet for top-tier talent, and the result is the most competitive environment in wrestling.
That magnetism, however, is often attributed by those at Caldera Enterprises to the contributions of those hallowed names. Though current fans are unlikely to have seen the exploits of the first generation, their names remain an integral part of this company. And there have been those who have bridged the gap. Twizzy, World Champion in 2002, returned in 2005. Michael Stevens, United States Champion in 2002, won the World Title in 2005. Rich Rollins, two-time World Champion in 2001, returned to the company twice, and ultimately died hours after competing in a GCW ring. And, of course, LeStatt Knight, who debuted in 2001, just won Dangerous Games 2008.
Most of GCW is populated with the young stars of today, and they are the ones who will become the legends of tomorrow. But for now, though they may never fully appreciate the careers of those that came before them, and though they may see former stars try to return and fail, they owe their current success, in part, to those great names.
With the fifth edition of NC-17 approaching and GCW billing it as the biggest Pay-Per-View of all time, GCW is planning to dedicate much of the following month to the history of the company. Each week WorldWide will re-air classic NC-17 matches and moments, and cameos are expected from past stars.

REBEL NEWSWIRE``xSexy_Bo``xThe Man in Charge laid down the law last night. He made some very awesome matches and has threatened to fire any member of the Extreme Elite if they interfere in any match at "Merry Massacre II".
The main event of the festive event features the appearance of the Barbwire Cage Match. The last time we saw such a cage, Kyle Roberts and Chad Kurtis went toe to toe in a match of the year candidate. This time Nick Everhardt gets a one on one encounter with The Ragin' Redneck. These two wrestled a few weeks ago in Lenoir in a brutal Streetfight. The aftermath that followed was gruesome to say the least. That coupled with an attack on Nick Everhardt and Mikey Massacre has escalated the situation. Bubba J contends that he was never really beat. Footage shows otherwise but this match will have a decisive winner for sure, as Rex Caliber will be the ref.
Mikey Massacre will get to see three men beat each other up in hopes to get a shot at him and his Carolinas Championship later in the evening. Vincent Black tangles with a man he has been feuding with in a blood war, Billy Kryenik, and the man he screwed out of the World tag titles, Stone Zellor. And if he wins, he must face Mikey Massacre, a man he attacked just last night. Come December 2nd, Black will truly be a marked man.
Blood showed up in mysterious fashion, making Duncan Aries bleed from a shot from his staff. Now the two tangle at "Merrytime Massacre II" in a grudge match with World title implications. If Aries wins, it'll be his third in a row and a guaranteed title shot will be his in the New Year. No one knows what is going through the manic Blood's mind, but the world will get some insight December the 2nd.
"The Show" Chad Kurtis will get his rematch for the Carolinas Championship in the New Year. But before the year ends, he also gets his hands on Mark Kingston, a man who has been calling him out for months. Kingston could never earn a shot at then Carolinas Champ, Kurtis. But with no title matches in the way, Kurtis versus Kingston will happen at "Merrytime Massacre II".
The Young Leons will have their first shot at REBEL gold on December the 2nd, but will have to take on two of the craziest bastards around to become champions. Great Alaskan Ninjas!, super pumped after the hardcore encounter with fellow stablemates, Hardcore Entertainment, are ready to become the new dynasty in the Tag division. Can the Leons work as a team and stop the evil Ninjas!, or will they become just another mark on the proverbial head board.
Cuzin Zeke and El Rey de Corazones are former tag team partners. Not only that, they are former Tag Team Champions. They are two of the most popular wrestlers in the history of REBEL, and they will do battle on the second of December. What is being dubbed an "Old School Wrestling Classic", will no doubt be a throw back to hold for hold, southern style wrestling. Less hardcore, more in ring action. Both men respect the other a ton, and the REBEL Arena will love seeing these two great athletes go one on one for the first time ever.
Villain Mask 6, Elliot Landry and Mister Amazing have all been released from REBEL Pro Wrestling.
Former REBEL Carolinas Champion Murcielago, and tag team partner/manager, Enzo have both departed from the company on good terms. Both are welcome to come back in the future. ``xEkkZuVZEkEavvsvOIn``x1227460721``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/``xREBEL held it's final Underground show of the year last night.

Caldera Brewing Big Surprise``xgcw``xConspicuous by his absence at Devil's Night, President Steven Caldera is raising anxiety backstage. Caldera loves the cameras and the energy of the road, so seeing him spend his weeks sequestered in his high-rise office in New York is raising some eyebrows in the company.
Some say Caldera's big surprise won't really affect GCW. The offices in New York are set to open in the coming weeks, marking a major expansion for Caldera Enterprises. The company is also expanding to Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago and London, meaning GCW's parent company is also going global. The simultaneous launch of the new, bigger Caldera Enterprises is no doubt a major reason Caldera is away from the company for the moment.
There have been rumors, however, about a number of new projects Caldera may be working on under the table. Talk of adding another television broadcast to the weekly schedule has been going on for some time, and the possibility of another major addition to the roster is always looming.
There is no telling when or if Caldera will return. Some wonder if Caldera, seeing the Establishment losing influence, plans on simply withdrawing from the public eye completely to focus on other projects. Those who know him best, however, roll their eyes at this suggestion.
Caldera's original boss, Mr. Danger, was asked about it this week. "Caldera won't ever step away from this place. He needs it too much."
Caldera is being characteristically tight-lipped about it, and hasn't made any public appearances since his last stint on WorldWide. It's been reported from within that Caldera has been training very hard lately, giving rise to speculation that he might be preparing a return to the ring, but those same sources temper that notion by saying a strict training regimen isn't exactly out of the ordinary.
So for the time being it seems Christian Zenith has been entrusted with the authority to run the show. Jay Terror, with Caldera still backing him from afar, no doubt retains some power. But with Caldera gone there is certainly a void at the top, meaning the door might be open for the wrestlers of GCW to take advantage. ``xEkkZEkAFuAWpIpFtWZ``x1227132949``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.gcwonline.net``xConspicuous by his absence at Devil's Night, President Steven Caldera is raising anxiety backstage.

We here at GCW Reporting Headquarters have just learned that Mr. Danger himself has deemed that this week at WorldWide 101 to be "Mr. Danger Appreciation Night". Danger has been given a block of time on the show, and during his time we understand Danger has planned a big celebration honoring his accomplishments in the wrestling business.
Just a few weeks ago at Dangerous Games, an ongoing feud between Mr. Danger and Face was finally settled with Face getting the best of Danger. Mr. Danger had quite a turnaround last week at Devil's Night, as he blasted the GCW Superstars as well as the fans for not showing him the respect and appreciation he feels he rightfully deserves.
This week at "Mr. Danger Appreciation Night", Danger will finally have his moment in the spotlight as the celebration and festivities will commence live on X-TV.

Dangerous Games Back Stage Report``xgcw``xKevin Jacobs here with your Pay-Per-View backstage wrapup! A lot happened off camera in London, and there's a lot to reveal now that our overseas tour is complete.
LeStatt Knight was the big winner at Dangerous Games, adding a major win to his already legendary career. While it's tough to get actual injury information on Knight, since few are willing to get close enough to check, it's said that Knight was still hurting from his WorldWide 100 match with Andy Murray. For his part, Murray was also very banged up, but the two escaped without any major injuries. Murray's elimination looked particularly gruesome when the turnbuckle post failed, but it's nothing Murray couldn't shake off.
Neither man has commented since the event.
There was only one major injury for the night. Joaquin Pierre is said to have suffered an unspecified injury in his match with Samson and Delylah, though it is rumored the injury is to his knee. Pierre has reportedly already reached an injury settlement with GCW and is no longer with the company. Don't feel too bad for him, the company tends to be pretty generous in these situations.
Conspicuous by their absence in the Dangerous Games match were Phil Atken and Octavian. Atken lost to Dan Black earlier in the night, but sources say Atken's position with the company is in doubt. As for Octavian, he did not make the trip to London with the company. President Caldera has not commented on his status, though Octavian does have a lifetime contract with GCW.
GCW officially introduced 'The Prophet' John Adams and Alex Grey after Dangerous Games. The two made the trip to London by invitation of the company. Grey, making his return to GCW after six years, agreed to his deal eight days ago. Adams reportedly didn't sign his contract until just hours before the Dangerous Games match.
The mysterious Man in Black did not appear at Dangerous Games, but that hasn't stopped people in the backstage area from speculating about his identity. Since he was not removed from the building, it is clear that he must be a wrestler under contract. But whether he is one of the regular roster or someone else is still up for debate. President Caldera, who would seem to be in a position to know, has not commented.
There's some controversy brewing around Jacob McKail backstage. I can't go into many details, but he's becoming a bit of a pariah. He didn't help his case by standing outside Digital Mortality's locker room demanding he answer him. McKail had to be removed from the building after the show.
Former United States Champion Zachariah Taylor seemed to have cooled off after the show. I tried getting a quote from him, but he had little to say. "It's not over" is all he muttered before leaving the building. I'd suspect Taylor has every intention of regaining the US Title from the man who cashed in on the American Dream, Garbage Bag Johnny.
As a result of the hijinx of Banned and Exiled~! at Dangerous Games, President Caldera has informed them that they are banned from the Spanish Announce table permanently. Caldera reportedly tried to ban them from the English announce booth after last year's Dangerous Games, but received a suit about first amendment rights. Apparently the first amendment doesn't apply in Mexico.
Stay tuned for much, much more this week.``xEkkyZZuFyFtqXcIALl``x1226777963``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.gcwonline.net``xKevin Jacobs here with your Pay-Per-View backstage wrapup!

Winners Knight, White Have Date With Destiny``xgcw``xIt is annually the most difficult match to win. In the ring with 29 other wrestlers, the odds of survival are slim. And up until this week, Hall of Famer LeStatt Knight, a man who has done it all in this business, had never won it.
Add a Dangerous Games victory to his long (and still growing) list of accomplishments.
For Knight, the Dangerous Games victory puts him one step closer to regaining the GCW World Title he last held two years ago. Since then, Knight's critics have seen him as a watered-down version of his old self. Apparently Knight has heard, and in recent weeks it seems the LeStatt Knight of old is making a dramatic comeback.
Knight outlasted the competition and bested his latest rival, superstar-in-waiting Andy Murray, to emerge from the field as the number one contender. For Knight, the NC-17 main event will be familiar territory. He's been in the match twice: 2005 against Michael Stevens, and 2006 against Lia Ambrosi and Dawn MacFarlane.
But this will be the first time he's come into the match the challenger.
Knight's NC-17 record also doesn't bode well for him. In both prior main events, Knight has lost the GCW World Title. It's not all doom and gloom, however. As part of last year's billed triple main event, Knight defeated then-"Outlaw" Jay Terror in the 2007 Match of the Year.
For Jordan White, the NC-17 main event will be a first. It will also be his first Pay-Per-View title defense under what is expected to be the biggest spotlight in company history. But for the moment, Jordan White can bask in the redeeming glow of the GCW World Title.
White's struggles with the pressures of main event wrestling are well documented. He first came to the forefront by winning the 2007 Warpath tournament, earning him a shot at champion Lia Ambrosi (en route, he defeated Rich Rollins in an Iron Man match). But White, then a member of The Establishment, fell short in a moment of identity crisis. It took White 365 days to round into form, consistently passed over by fast-tracked wrestlers like Terror and Vivica J. Valentine.
In the end White got another shot at Dangerous Games, and this time he made good. White defeated Terror, the man who jumped past him way back in April by getting in bed with The Establishment, and did so in gruesome ACWF fashion.
There are a number of questions still surrounding White's mental state, but he's finally got the monkey off his back. Unfortunately for White, his time to revel will be short. He's already facing one of the biggest, most daunting challenges of his career.
Such is the life of the GCW World Champion in the current era. White has finally emerged victorious from a highly emotional war with Terror only to see LeStatt Knight now staring him down. Knight, veteran of the big matches and perhaps the most dominant wrestler in GCW history, has never been more focused. White will have only a few months to prepare for what is being billed as the headlining match of the biggest wrestling event in history.
Starting this week at Devil's Night, GCW plans to unleash its most potent hype campaign to date. That means Jordan White and LeStatt Knight will find themselves the focus of the highest level of media attention GCW can muster, which figures to be considerable. We know LeStatt Knight will be completely at home in the spotlight.
Now we'll find out if Jordan White can handle it.``xEkkyZElulpWDBaXUBy``x1226722080``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.gcwonline.net``xIt is annually the most difficult match to win.

REBEL NEWSWIRE``xSexy_Bo``xAfter breaking a fan's finger, Bubba J has been fined the total amount of the bill that fan had at the hospital (around 900 dollars). This is his second fine since entering REBEL. The next time will be a fine and a suspension!
In other news, Cuzin Zeke is one victory away from being the first man on "The List". He will have to beat newcomer Duncan Aries to qualify.
Mikey Massacre has technically qualified for "The List", but as he is Carolinas Champion, the qualification will become null and void. Per rules, no wrestler can hold both singles championships. But to reward Mikey anyways, Rex Caliber has offered him a World tag title shot in the new year, if he can find a willing partner.
Speaking of Mikey, he will do battle in a rematch from "NAPW/REBEL Supershow Five". He will take on current World Champion in a Non title contest. This is a match fans have been asking for since that show back in April! REBEL will deliver it at the REBEL Underground!
Called the "Greatest Gimmick Match Ever", the Pimptastic Attraction returns to the REBEL Underground. Stone Zellor defends his Pimp title versus Warren! This match should be just as memorable as the Match of the Year candidate back in the first part of the year. Stone won the first and only Pimptastic Attraction match. Can he win the second one?
The team of former Carolinas Champion, Murcielago and his partner Enzo will be wrestling for the first time in months. They are scheduled to fight the Time Warp Duo at the REBEL Underground!
Rex Caliber will book all underperforming stars in a match at "Merrytime Massacre". The winner gets to stay, the losers will all be released. Elliot Landry, Villain Mask 6, and Mister Amazing are all rumored to be apart of the match. Others could join them, as REBEL looks to trim some fat so to speak on the roster.
The Young Leons will get a chance at the World Tag Team titles at "Merrytime Massacre". This will be their first opportunity at gold in REBEL. They will face the winners of the Great Alaskan Ninja!/Hardcore Entertainment match at the REBEL Underground on the twenty second of November.
Rex Caliber has a huge announcement at the Underground show, and it will involve the announcement of the next contender for the REBEL World Championship.
Rex Caliber is also very aware of what a supergroup like Hardcore Ninja Entertainment will mean for REBEL. He will not let them ride roughshod over REBEL. He will also not let REBEL become a place of mass confusion like NAPW has become without Terry Brandon. Thug groups, which is something he was infamously involved in last year, are becoming an epidemic. Extra security will be at REBEL shows, and will protect wrestlers post match and also prematch. ``xEkkyVVylFuhtJegtoI``x1226560434``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/``xBubba J fined!

NAPW in disarray after Commissioner injured``xnapw``xNOVEMBER 8, 2008
Terry Brandon Status
NAPW Commissioner Terry Brandon was airlifted to the University of Alberta Hospital early this morning and remains comatose. Owner "Wahoo" Bobby Winchell is currently in the middle of a six-week trek through the Amazon Basin and is currently unable to be contacted.
With Brandon out and Wahoo unavailable, the NAPW administration has been taken hostage by the wrestlers themselves. Petrified secretaries are printing up contracts for hostile and demanding wrestlers. The 11/18 card in Calgary is still scheduled, but currently it seems that the wrestlers are making whatever matches they want. Several matches have already been signed including a Heritage Title match between champion Jake Phoenix and the newest member of Dirty Money, Jer$ey, who betrayed Billy Kryenik Friday night in Lloydminster.
With no authority figure in place, there have been no disciplinary actions given to the Faces of Death.

DEVELOPMENTS *Chris Casino attacked Jake Phoenix with a steel chair after the Heritage Title match. He was prevented from doing further damage by Tommy Deathrow. There is now respect between Phoenix and Deathrow. *Stylin' Kyle Roberts was inducted into the NAPW Ring of Prestige. *Unbeknownst to the O'Connor Boys, referee or partner Kryenik, Jer$ey used brass knuckles to help his team score the win. *On a live edition of FRIDAY NIGHT WHYTE, D! hosted guest Chris Casino. The long-time rivals were interrupted by the arrival of a furious Jake Phoenix, who Tombstoned Casino in retaliation for earlier in the night! *Following the induction of "LDK" Lloyd Rees into the Ring of Prestige, NAPW Commissioner Terry Brandon inducted NAPW commentator and 25-year-veteran Bill Hewson in a surprise RoP induction. Stone Zellor took exception to this and slapped Hewson. "The Show" made the save, and their match took place. *Former Heritage Champion "Outlaw" Patrick Kidd, now wheelchair-bound, came out to say hello to the fans and thank them for his time in NAPW. The Faces of Death interrupted and attacked him. They black-bagged Kidd and prepared to curbstomp him into a ringbell when THE BEAST made a surprise return, clearing the ring and putting NAPW on notice that anybody trying to beat somebody down and run in would have to answer to HIM now before helping Kidd WALK out of the building. *The Tag Title match went to a no contest after both teams beat up several referees and security before special referee Terry Brandon ruled it a no contest. *Dan Ryan bloodied and physically assaulted D!... only to lose the cage match when a Humility Bomb into the cage wall caused it to give way. D! "escaped" the cage and got the win, but was stretchered out of the Polish Hall.``xPolish Hall - Edmonton, AB``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x31.10.2008``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Post-AA3 newswire!``xnapw``xTONS OF NEWS OUT OF AA3!
*The card for the 11/7 card in Lloydminster AB has been posted. Stone Zellor will get his title shot against champion Krusty Kid Paul. The Heritage and Tag Team titles will be defended as well!
*The Beast returned at Anniversary Assault III, spoiling the Faces of Death attempt to annihilate NAPW veteran "Outlaw" Patrick Kidd. The Beast has proclaimed that there's a new sheriff in town, and that he will put a stop to some of the chaos that has taken over NAPW recently. The fans are just glad to have THE BEAST back in action! Ravager & KRENSHOV, not so much.
*Chris Casino, Evan Cartwright, Ravager and KRENSHOV have all been fined their entire Anniversary Assault pay-out as a FIRST disciplinary action as a result of all four men's abuse of referees and NAPW security. Terry Brandon had no choice but to call the match a no-contest, a fact which cannot sit will with the Faces of Death. C&C retained the titles as a result of the decision...
*Trent Daniels did not make any friends in his return at the Costume Battle Royale... particularly not with NAPW newcomer Danny Chaos, who was able to eliminate Daniels before Prince W. Darko stole the win from him. Chaos and Daniels will meet one-on-one in Lloydminster! The winner will no doubt be in line for a Heritage Title shot.
*Jake Phoenix and Tommy Deathrow will not be friends anytime soon, but there can be no denying that each man has a new respect for the other after they engaged in an utter war at AA3. Deathrow was not able to topple Jake Phoenix's now eight-defense long Heritage Title reign, but did prove to the world that whatever his past problems, the walking talking STD is back in FULL FORCE. Ladies beware, the Superstar is back! Jake Phoenix will attempt to make it defense #9 when he takes on the Battle Royale winner Prince W. Darko, his Heritage title on the line in Lloydminster.
*D! spent the evening at the UofA hospital and was released this morning, thanks to Dan Ryan. Will D! ever be the same? And what's next for "The Ego Buster" after destroying D! but losing the match thanks to the cage wall giving way?
*The O'Connor Boys will look for their first win against a new attitude Grade A team. Wayne Wright and The Moose are looking to get back into tag title contention. The OCB cannot afford to lose three straight here in NAPW.
*There are a lot of question marks as NAPW heads into November. What will year four hold for New Alberta Pro?

Press Conference Announced!``xforeverslackin``xtzw Owner Steve Campbell has announced today that tzw will hold it's very first press conference October 16th at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, NV. The event will not be highly publicized and only local press are expected to attend. Steve was quoted saying: "We don't have the money to commercialize this product just yet, however, we hope that with the announcement of our current roster, staff, and the unveiling of our World Championship will hopefully draw in the sponsors and the money." Wrestlers expected to attend the event are Chance Bojangles, Shawn Kutter, and Alekzander Midnight. With the unveiling of the title and the heat between Kutter and 'Jangles things could get heated up.``xEkkupVypklcSknQjcp``x1224059628``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://tzw.phrube.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xtzw``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Terror Agrees to Meet White``xgcw``xJordan White will be getting his title shot after all.
After the show-ending brawl that erupted at WorldWide 99, an irate Jay Terror reportedly stormed back to President Steven Caldera and demanded the match be set. Terror, who has spent the last several weeks trying to prove White unfit for the title shot, now appears set to prove it on his own.
While White has not made any public statements with regards to Terror's challenge, the company is confirming that the match will happen at Dangerous Games in two weeks.
White last received a GCW title shot at Warpath in a triple-threat match with Terror and then-champion Vivica J. Valentine, but White's history with the GCW Title goes back over a year. At Warpath 2007 White won a tournament to become number one contender, and received his shot at Lia Ambrosi at Dangerous Games. White, then a member of The Establishment, broke with the group during the match but failed to capture the gold.
Since then, White has struggled to get another opportunity. After being cheated by former friend Terror at Rampage this year, White has managed to receive a few title shots, but has yet to capture the title.
As a result, some critics believe that White might simply be the greatest wrestler in GCW history who will never win a World Title. White is commonly regarded as one of the most talented stars in company history, but seems to come up short in big-match situations. This has spawned The Establishment's campaign to hold him out of another Pay-Per-View main event, saying that White isn't capable of carrying such a huge spotlight.
But White's tenacity and recent winning streak has left Terror no choice but to attempt to stop him personally. The two former friends and bitter rivals are now on track to meet one on one at Dangerous Games, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Not only is there a wealth of personal issues on the line, but the winner will most likely go on to compete in the main event of the biggest show of the year, NC-17, in December.
The match is being confirmed by the company, but neither wrestler has spoken publicly yet. It is assumed that the company is keeping them quiet until WorldWide 100, where it is expected they will address it for the first time.

DEATHROW RETURNS? Tommy Deathrow, MIA for months including no-showing a Heritage Title shot recently, is scheduled for the 10/21 Calgary event. Sources tell NAPW-Online that STD is being given one last chance by management. He is going to have to start at the bottom and work his way back up the card, but another no-show like back at last month's Charity Show and it may be the end for the "Superstar" in NAPW.
Huge eight-man tag signed! Headlining the 10/21 Calgary Event will be an EIGHT-MAN TAG pitting "LDK" Lloyd Rees, Billy Kryenik, "The Show" Chad Kurtis and Jer$ey against an all-champion team of Krusty Kid Paul, Chris Casino, Evan Cartwright and... JAKE PHOENIX. Is it true? Is the Heritage Champion truly a member of "Dirty Money?" Any way you slice it, this is going to be an off-the-hook match-up!

TAG TITLE MATCH SIGNED Just signed for Anniversary Assault III: Chris Casino & Evan Cartwright will put their NAPW Tag Team titles on the line against another team hated by the fans, the FACES OF DEATH - Ravager and KRENSHOV! The history between these four men is well-documented, and now the rivalries will renew with tag gold on the line.
Injury Report -Prince W. Darko suffered lacerations, severe burns, and who knows what other injuries in REBEL Pro last tuesday. He is currently home in Zamunda along with his bodyguard KBOND. No doubt Darko is furious that he was unable to make good on his tag title shot... what will he be like when he returns? -Tohya Miho missed Barnhouse Brawl due to a severe stomach flu. Over the chilly weekend, Saadra Mehta slipped on ice and sprained her ankle badly. It must be frustrating but the Strong Style Angels will probably be out of action for the rest of October. -Dez Carter was okay after his match with KRENSHOV, but he didn't do his injured ribs any favors. Carter continues to demand he be booked in NAPW against doctor's orders, signing a waiver freeing NAPW from any responsibility if injured. Carter will get his wish... he will take on D! in Calgary!``xEkkFyykuAZIUzMAaOC``x1223666097``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``xInjury report, STD returns?, Tag Title match signed!``x``xnapw88x31.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Billy Kryenik *KKP retained the World Title in a HARDCORE RULES title match. Kryenik & Paul showed the fans in the Barn just why they have reputations as two of the most violent men in NAPW, as barbed wire, tables, thumbtacks and an unspeakable item were involved. KKP's "Dirty Money" allies Chris Casino and Evan Cartwright got involved, leading to a "Krusty Bomb" on the World Title belt for KKP to win.
Post-match, Dirty Money beat down Kryenik until Jer$ey came out for the save. The NAPW newcomer was soon overwhelmed, until "LDK" Lloyd Rees came out to even the odds! "LDK," Kryenik and Jer$ey seemed to gain the upper-hand until JAKE PHOENIX came out, still surly about earlier... Dirty Money bailed from the ring and watched gleefully as Phoenix assaulted anything that moved, dishing out chokeslams and Tombstones like candy.

They were replaced by Z-Force lackies Matt Focks and Deek, whom the champions made short work of.
NO HOLDS BARRED KRENSHOV d. Dez Carter *Pre-match, Krenshov and Ravager - the FACES OF DEATH - demanded they finally receive a Tag Team title shot by virtue of their recent success. NAPW Commissioner Terry Brandon acquiesced, but reminded Kenny he had to wrestle Dez Carter... right now! The courageous Carter gave it all, but a combination of his injuries and the repeated interference of Ravager in this no-DQ contest spelled doom for him.``xSaskatoon, SK - The Playhouse Barn``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x10.10.2008``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

NFW September Wrestler of the Month``xNFW``xDC Stratton entered New Frontier Wrestling in 2000 as a scrawny, backyard wrestler that was dubbed the "Inhuman Highlight Reel" by the marketing department just based on the grainy videos of his rooftop aerial theatrics.
For most of his first 4 years in the federation, Stratton clung to the bottom rung of the NFW ladder and exited along with manager Neil Riddick in the infamous All-Star War Games match, where he helped 'trigger' one of the most famous and brutal periods in NFW.
Returning alongside his idol Tsunami in 2007 and dubbing themselves "The Suicide Kings," Stratton's name has vaulted to the top of NFW and he now finds himself locked in a war with Blaine Hollywood.
At Crash 46, Stratton won the battle against Hollywood with an electrifying Swanton Senton Bomb 20 feet in distance off a shark cage to pin Blaine. With that victory, Stratton has earned his team a Everette Memorial Tag Team title shot at SUPERCrash II: Dawn of a Revolution as well as NFW's September Wrestler of the Month honors.
Only time will tell how far this fan-favorite can fly in the future.``xEkkFFEAVZkROwBFVNA``x1223323172``xfeature``x53481091834249``xNatrone Rice``x``xFrom the backyards to the front pages of ESEN and FWrestling.com, DC Stratton has earned himself NFW September Wrestler of the Month.``x``x``xfeatures.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x18627``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Best of the Best Preview``xSexy_Bo``xBest of the Best... a phrase that gets thrown around quite a bit in the sport of pro wrestling. Who really is the best? Hulk Hogan defined it as being the highest paid wrestler who traveled the fewest miles. That maybe true from a purely business standpoint, but how about the skill of it all? Hogan wouldn't know shit about that.
REBEL's "Best of the Best" event is the climax of a months worth of tag team wrestling, formatted in an eight team, single elimination tournament. Last year, eight teams entered the tournament. Of those men competing, several went on to win championships or high accolades in either REBEL or NAPW in the following 12 months.
KRENSHOV- NAPW World Champion Warren- REBEL World Tag Team Champion Celtic Assassins- Winners of the Extreme Alumni Battle Royal Chad Kurtis- Two REBEL World titles, and a REBEL Carolinas championship C.A.B.S- The first to win and hold belts in both promotions at the same time, holding both federations tag team titles Mike Trey- The winner of the tournament along with Dr. Tittylover is now a FOUR time REBEL World champion.
This years group consisted of Former NAPW Tag champions, former REBEL Tag champions, former NAPW and REBEL World champions, current NAPW tag Champions and the current REBEL World Tag Champs... and NONE OF THE MENTIONED ABOVE HAVE MADE IT TO THE FINALS!
The main event of the "Best of the Best" event will feature two teams with less mainstream press than any team in the tournament. The team of Hardcore Entertainment, (The Ragin Redneck & Vincent Black) originally forced to team together in the first place... versus a team who has wrestled together for years, but had little experience in this part of the country, The Great Alaskan Ninjas!
HARDCORE ENTERTAINMENT VS THE GREAT ALASKAN NINJAS!
This match is sure to be just as violent if not more violent than the Weapons match that takes place on the card as well. The tag team division is white hot right now, and these two teams are one win of way from a World Tag title shot. This maybe the finals of the tournament, but in reality, this is the equivalent to a Conference Championship game. The Super Bowl is the following week.
But these lesser known teams, are hardcore as can be, represent the very essence of what REBEL was built on... extreme characters, with hardcore attitudes, who don't mind bleeding or breaking bones to get the win. Just as the finals last year, no one would have guessed these two teams would make it this far... but you damn well better believe after this week, no one will ever second guess either team again. Expect a balls out, leave it all in the ring fight this Tuesday.
PAUL JARVIS DEFENDS THE WORLD TITLE VERSUS NICK EVERHARDT
Jarvis hand picked Everhardt. Everhardt knew before he entered the Extreme Battle Royal at "Prove Your Worth" that he didn't NEED to win it. But he went out, gave the fans 110 percent, and stole another show and this time a Number One Contenders Trophy. Two weeks after wrestling in what everyone has agreed is a Match of the Year Candidate, he went out and proved why REBEL fans love this man. Several title opportunities have come his way in six short months, and if you knock on the door long enough eventually you get let in, or you break the door down.
Paul Jarvis in the mean time has been fighting off protesters, out filming a movie, and has turned back the challenges of Jake Phoenix and Johnny the Mormon Love Machine. Paul is the most hated man in REBEL since the beginning days when the Crimes ran roughshod over the whole promotion. Jarvis is inciting riots, but despite it all, he is drawing crowds. The box office sells out and he is part of the huge success REBEL is seeing, even during an ownership change.
The two men are incredible athletes, as different as night and day personality wise, but deep down they respect one another. That respect will end as the bell sounds. This match has the makings of a classic, and regardless of who wins, you're almost guaranteed to see a round two at some point.
BROTHER VERSUS BROTHER... A TALE OF TWO KURTIS'
Chad... the cool, confident, fast, all American type.
Matthew... the snarly, big, mean, bully type.
Brothers.
What Matt lacks in speed, his brother was graced with. What Chad lacks in power, Matt has tenfold. What Matt lacks in singles success... Chad has been there, done that. Former tag champs who drifted a part, fighting in different circles. Then one day, Chad gets nailed by his brother. Jealousy? Or maybe Matt was tired of hearing about his brother. Maybe it was time that Matt got to headline shows. Who knows why it happened, but after a month and different things occuring, they fight for gold. They are polar opposites but they have one thing in common... a Kurtis Temper. You should see both men display those tempers with the Carolinas up for grabs this week.
But those two Kentuckians aren't the only ones going to be interested in who wins. Another Kentuckian will be on hand to watch the match. Cuzin Zeke has a title match the following week, and also has a beef with Matt Kurtis.
We shall finally see which Kurtis brother is truly.. BEST! And the following week we'll see which Kentuckian is.
A WEAPONED FILLED WAR!
Sick Billy Kryenik and "The Show" Chad Kurtis will take on The Foundation... former REBEL World tag champs. This match will take place AFTER Chad wages war with his on flesh and blood. That is the wild card in this match. The very first teaming between Billy and Chad will also be a big variable. How will they work as a unit? How will the chemistry be?
Their opponents are coming off a huge loss in the Best of the Best tag tournament. The Foundation, still trying to get back to the team who defended the REBEL tag titles for two months with a record successful four title defenses. They helped carve out the first era of REBEL as part of the notorious Crimes, but neither man has touched gold since then. The winner moves up the ranks of the very stacked tag team division.. the loser moves down, and thats a place neither team aspires to be.
MISFIT TOYS TWO?
Back last year, at the final Supershow of 2007, El Rey Corazones tagged with Stein and the Mystic Exposition to form one of the wackiest teams ever.
Well, since then I don't believe four more colorful personalities have been in the same ring. The Young Leons take on El Rey Corazones and JAGI! The countries of North Korea, Ireland and Mexico are all well represented in this match. So is four different styles. JAGI brings a MMA style to the ring, and his partner wrestles a big man Lucha style that has helped him become a two time REBEL World Tag champ. Flippy McHighspot is anything but a highspot machine, a very technical wrestler who will hit guys with suplexes and submissions. His partner is reckless and loves to go up top.
The contrast of these men will makes this match definitely a must see event. This is a match for the fans that will possibly steal the already stacked show.
A RETURN OF A KING... STON
Mark Kingston is known to REBEL Fans as the man who fell off a scaffold and damn near died. He is a former Carolinas champion and competed in the Feud of the Year last year with Dio Muerte. He is finally one hundred percent, and has to work his way back up to where he was last year. He also earned himself a lot of enemies with his heinous actions last week.
In his way is a muscular man who is just getting his REBEL career started. Wrestling in both REBEL and NAPW can be taxing, but the 'Prototype' hasn't slowed down yet. He is improving every week, and is looking for his first win in REBEL.
Will the returning former champ be victorious, or will Josh Markham get his first "W" in REBEL?
All of these matches are this Tuesday at the REBEL Arena. The World Tag Champions and Cuzin Zeke are all expected to be in the building as well. Undoubtedly Rex Caliber will also be on hand, trying to insure that everything runs smooth.
See ya at the matches. ``xEkkFEplZuyVuXLmRZe``x1223112346``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/index.shtml``xA preview of a stacked show this Tuesday, October 7th at the REBEL Arena in Raleigh!``x``xREBEL_whtline.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xREBEL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

* Rex Caliber has his hands full with complaints over the controversial Paul Jarvis and the promos he films. Rex will not back down in his new gig as Man In Charge. According to Rex, Paul Jarvis hasn't broken any rules in REBEL, or in society for that matter. Rex calls the protests ludicrous, but does expect even more this week at the highly advertised "Best of the Best 2008".

NEW WORLD CHAMPION With generous assistance from his running buddies Chris Casino and Evan Cartwright, Krusty Kid Paul pinned "LDK" Lloyd Rees to become the new NAPW World champion last night. The new champion will be in attendance at Lethal Lottery next Tuesday, will he have words for the stunned wrestling world?
CHAMPS RETAIN Not only did KKP gain the World Title, but Casino & Cartwright were able to successfully retain the Tag Team titles against The New & Improved D-X last night, again after a little help from their friend. KKP, Casino & Cartwright now hold 75% of the gold in NAPW. This gives them an awful lot of influence in the fed...
DANIELS INJURED, OUT After suffering a tremendous beating at the hands of D! last night, Trent Daniels will miss Lethal Lottery. There is no immediate timetable for his return as he was treated last night for his injuries at a local medical facility in Calgary.
SPARKS FLY Lady Sparks defeated her rival Asuka Katsuragi last night to earn her spot in the match to determine NAPW's first Women's Champion at Lethal Lottery. The victory was not without controversy, however, as Sparks provoked guest referee (and her opponent in the title match) White Chocolate~, a move that resulted in Tiffany inadvertantly decking Asuka, leading to Sparks' win. Sparks & White Chocolate have a long history against one another, and now their feud leads to the Women's Championship!
MORE "UNSANCTIONED" NEWS -Billy Kryenik and Jer$ey put on the sleeper match of the evening, the returning Kryenik (and the fans) surprised by the tenacity and fire of newcomer Jer$ey. Impressive outings from both men, but it was Kryenik who took him the "W."
-After the way he lost last night, Ricky Rocker wants another piece of "The Prototype" Josh Markham! Will these two encounter one another in Lethal Lottery, or will they have to wait for the rematch?
-The Faces of Death showcased even more sadism than we have yet to see from them in their win over The Crusher and Masafumi Satake. Before Ravager and KRENSHOV could finish the job on Satake, however, Dez Carter returned to make the save! There is no doubt that the FoD are the most dangerous force in wrestling today; who will be able to put them down?
-The Tag Championship rankings are muddled at the moment. Prince W. Darko & KBOND won a Tag Title shot last month. They cannot lose that, however, the Zamunda team (with Matt Focks subbing for KBOND) lost to newcomers Strong Style Angels. The FoD have also been scoring wins in tag team competition. Casino & Cartwright may have been able to retain against D-X last night, but there are no less than three teams that seemingly have rights to the next title shot.
-"Bluegrass Badass" Matthew Kurtis will return to NAPW competition at Lethal Lottery. Kurtis has been out healing from a litany of injuries. If Matt is back, can Lyndsey Valentine be far behind?``xEkkkkZEpFFLmfWPRqB``x1222274633``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``xA new World Champion, injury report, returns, Tag Ranking confusion, and more!``x``xnapw88x31.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

BURNING RIVER WRESTLING ANNOUNCES PRIDE I: GENESIS
CHAMPION VS CHAMPION JEFF ANDREWS VS. KHALID JAD
Cleveland, OH (USA) - On September 14th, a new ear begins in professional wrestling.
BRW Director of Talent Relations Stern Shamrock announced today that Jeff Andrews and Khalid Jad have been booked to as the Main Event match for the debut burning river wrestling event. This bout marking only the second time that a former WWA Heavyweight Champion will square off against a former CAL heavyweight champion headlines Pride 1: genesis, live from the Asylum in Cleveland, OH on Sunday September 14, 2008.
“I am happy to announce that burning river wrestling has inked a blockbuster Main Event to headline our debut card.” Said Stern Shamrock, BRW Director of Talent Relations. “Khalid Jad and Jeff Andrews are arguable two of the greatest former World Champions this sport has seen in recent years and they are squaring off for the first time inside the Hexagon.”
Pride I:Genesis will be live on internet-only pay-per view at 9:00 P.M. EST for a suggested retail price of 14.95.
In addition to the blockbuster Main Event, Pride I: Genesis will also feature an anything goes three way dance featuring Frank Dylan James, LAREDO and Ty Taylor. An “Anything Goes” match is burning river’s version of a street fight, where the referee is only there to declare a winner.
Rounding out the card will be singles matches pitting Leon Booth versus Bryce Silva. Silva a big name in the Mixed Martial Arts world is making his pro wrestling debut after a year of seclusion. As well as Stan Grub versus C. Bones. ``xEkkpVpZyypCJnwXTsr``x1220511260``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://burningriver.extroverthost.com``x``x``xburningriver_88x31.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xbrw``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Masafumi Satake vs The Crusher vs "The Moose" Mark Millar in a Four-Corners Match. Stone Zellor got involved, causing The Crusher to inadvertently spear Satake! Crusher and Stone fought to the back. Daniels used the opportunity to put Moose down for three with the System Crash.
Prince W. Darko & KBOND d. "Bad Boy" Joey Malone & Modo WHOA! by pinfall. Darko substituted his man Deek of the Z-Force into the match. Deek & KBOND made short work of the WGA contingent.
Lady Sparks d. Asuka Katsuragi via cutter. These two will meet one more time to determine who will challenge Tiffany Macintyre to become the first NAPW Women's Champion!
D! came out. After ranting and raving, Trent Daniels came out to confront him. D! FINALLY agreed to a rematch with Daniels, declaring a truce between the two men until then. Only problem? It started two minutes "from now." D! viciously assaulted Daniels, bloodying him, until Dan Ryan made the save, leading into...
D! d. "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan via totally cheap-roll-up and DONOVAN ASTROS interference. These two held war until a cameraman smashed Ryan over the head with the heavy camera, enabling D! to roll Ryan up for a trunk/weapon/tainted win that settled nothing between the two. The cameraman pulled his ball-cap off revealing fired NAPW superstar Donovan Astros. NAPW Commissioner Terry Brandon, shocked that Astros once again got past security, finally gave Dan Ryan what he wanted:
A match with Donovan Astros. And it will be UNSANCTIONED.
Chris Casino & Evan Cartwright d. Ravager & Dez Carter to retain the NAPW Tag Team Championship after a hard-fought contest.
"The Show" Chad Kurtis vs Krusty Kid Paul went to a draw after a German Suplex by The Show. However, Referee John Sharplin counted both men's shoulders to the canvas. Who is the #1 contender?
KRENSHOV came out to cut a promo. He was attacked by the Young Leons, who he handily destroyed. Dez Carter took exception to his violence, and the two allies came to blows. Ravager came out to mediate the situation.
"What the hell are doing Kenny? You were supposed to wait for me."
Ravager turned on Dez. He and Krenshov obliterated the fan-favorite to the horror of the fans. Ravager cut a promo expressing his disgust with NAPW management, the fans, his role since returning from sabbatical... and at having had to "carry" Dez Carter. By the end of the promo, no fan was cheering the NAPW legend or KRENSHOV. What kind of destruction do Ravager & KRENSHOV have in store for NAPW now?!

When asked about the signing of the hillbilly wild man, burning river director of talent relations Stern Shamrock had the following to say:
“I think Frank Dylan James will make a great addition to burning river. The fans inside the Asylum are going to love to see the Hillbilly Jesus step into the Hexagon. For that matter, when its an anything goes match, more often then not he’ll probably be all over the asylum rather then just inside the Hexagon.”
In addition to Frank Dylan James, burning river has also come to terms with Ty Taylor. Taylor is coming out of retirement after a decade away from the sport. He is best remembered as one of the top young stars of the Mid South Territory.

Steve Knox wins Elite Championship!``xNFW``xThe inaugural 8-man tournament for the Elite Championship has come to a close with NFW's own Steve Knox (http://nfw.fwrestling.com/) defeating GCW's Andy Murray (http://gcw.online.net) in the finals at PRIME's Colossus V. (http://prime.e-wrestling.org/)
Now, if that's not a load of acronyms and feds to swallow, I don't know what is! The Elite Championship is a coalition of wrestling federations affiliated with the former interfed Primetime Central. (http://community.primetimecentral.net/index.php)
Currently comprised of five different federations, the tournament saw one representative from each affiliate as well as 3 free agents including the runner-up, Murray.
In the end, Steve Knox used his patented Gold Standard finisher to wrap up the victory and take home the Elite Championship to New Frontier Wrestling. Industry insiders are already getting giddy over the upcoming Crash 46 'coronation' being promoted for Knox by NFW as well as the fact that the first defense will take place at SuperCrash 2 in September.
Knox may have to pull double-duty at the show as he awaits the winner of a five-man gauntlet match to determine the next #1 contender. That match will take place at SCCW, one of PTC's largest affiliates.

What's Hot in August?``xNFW``xAs previously seen right here in the Features section, we're covering two new feds in SCFW (http://scfw.fwrestling.com ) and LEGION http://legion.cornerstoneuniverse.com). Did you know that they're already pumping out results? SCFW held its first Thunder episode in just about a decade, while Legion opened up its doors with a very special surprise debut from none other than Hornet!
While those two new charter members are making their presence felt...be sure to check out NAPW's latest show entitled "Prelude to Honor." (http://www.napw-online.com/) Another five-star quality show from the Canadian indy darlings!
IWL (http://iwl.iwle.com/) entered two more Overdrives into the history books, check them out...
And what about what's on the horizon?
Well, two FW.com stalwarts in EPW and NFW are getting set for two sure-to-be HAWT TV telecasts. EPW's Aggression 38 not only keeps the Kings of the Cage Tag sparks flying, but their vacant World Championship will be decided by Sean Stevens and JA!
Meanwhile, NFW's meteroic 2008 braces for deep impact down in Daytona, Florida for an explosive Crash 46 Television that will feature a multitude of title scenarios being hashed out for September's SUPERCrash 2, as well as a landmark 5 on 5 Elimination Tag Match Main Event with all 10 Grand Prix combatants getting inside the ring.

alchemyPro Makes First Signing``xalchemypro``x21st August 2008 - NEW YORK, NY - It’s a sign of what is surely to come. alchemypro.fwrestling.com has learned that former mVw Hardcore Champion, Jonathan van der Sar, better known to the world as Delta 9, has put pen to paper and become the first officially contracted talent of aPw.
Know for his sadistic and masochistic style, Delta 9 spent only a short time in mVw, but left an impression that will stick with fans for a lifetime. After capturing his first (and only) title in mVw from The Demented One, Delta 9 quickly found himself on the wrong side of the law when mVw diva, Paulina, claimed the he had kidnapped and raped her. Delta 9 disappeared soon after.
Speaking on the condition on anonymity, a source within the NYPD claimed; “van der Sar’s arrest and subsequent incarceration were kept very quiet due to Paulina’s ties with Columbian cartels. We feared that, due to her father’s connections, retaliation would be sought.”
Following his release from prison earlier this month, it is claimed that Delta 9 was offered a spot in the witness protection program, which he adamantly refused.
Now back out on the streets and in alchemy Pro wrestling, Delta 9 is surely looking to vent his years of pent up frustrations on anyone who dares step into the ring with him.
It is suspected that Delta 9 suffers from multiple, undiagnosed, social diseases, although it has never been confirmed. One thing is for sure, may god help anyone who crosses paths with this Dutch maniac. ``xEkEAVVZlllVkGavJrO``x1219561488``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.alchemypro.fwrestling.com``xIt’s a sign of what is surely to come. alchemypro.fwrestling.com has learned that former mVw Hardcore Champion, Jonathan van der Sar, better known to the world as Delta 9, has put pen to paper and become the first officially contracted talent of aPw.``x``x88x31.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xaPw``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The Birth``xalchemypro``x20th August 2008 - NEW YORK, NY - It’s said that everything that has a beginning has an end. But sometimes, sometimes those ends open new doors. And almost five years after the closure of mVw, that door is being kicked open.
Welcome to alchemyPro. Wrestling.
alchemyPro. Wrestling is an independent wrestling promotion based in Brooklyn, New York. Founded by former COO of Velocity Entertainment (Maximum Velocity Wrestling’s parent company), Taj Escobar, aPw was created for the sole purpose of getting wrestling back to what it should be.
Exciting.
Since the closer of mVw in mid-2004 it seems like there has been a gaping hole in the business, void of anyone willing to take a chance, to show a boob, to scream f**k at the top of their lungs. So now, with no corporate board to hold him back Escobar has returned to the throne to fill that void.
alchemyPro. Wrestling has risen from the ashes of the empire to bring back to the wrestling business everything it has been missing for half a decade.
Sex, violence, controversy, and of course, the best in ring performers that the world has ever seen.
Picking up where Maximum Velocity Wrestling left off, aP.W is raising and reigniting the torch that was stamped out far before it’s time by corporate suits too scared of the FCC to take a chance. Escobar has dipped his hand into his own pockets to bring the world his uncompromised vision of what the business should look like. With no board to answer to, and a television station willing to take a chance, nothing is standing in the way.
alchemyPro. Wrestling will tape everyother Wednesday night from the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York, and will air on the MSG network Thursdays at 2 A.M., so kids, get your TiVo ready.
Escobar has stated that he will hold a full press conference later this week. Not much else is known at this time, however, one thing is known for sure;
Now would be a good time to start praying to whatever god it is you pray to, as the business will surely never be the same again.
Call it X-rated, call it crash TV, call it whatever you want to call it.
We just call it entertainment.

New Signing, and other news``xjoe``xIt has been reported that burning river wrestling, the new promotion based out of Cleveland, OH has signed MMA star Bryce Silva. Silva was a rising star fighting out of the Brazilian Top Team Gym in Las Vegas and compiled an impressive 12-3 record in MMA competition before mysteriously dropping out of the scene a little over a year ago.
BRW Director of Talent Relations Stern Shamrock had this to say,
Via burning-river.net:
"This is a great signing for burning river wrestling, while Silva is relatively young and is very raw in terms of experience in a traditional pro-wrestling environment; burning river is anything but traditional. Silva is just the kind of competitor that fits the burning river mold perfectly, a hard-hitting young stud with a Jiu-Jitsu background. We can't wait to watch Silva make the transition into the world of professional wrestling, and we are very pleased that he has decided to do so inside the Asylum with burning river.
In other burning river news, while speaking during a conference call earlier today, a reporter made mention of the recent announcement by Niccoli Burbank, co-owner of the WCWA about the promotions decision to suspend operation.
“It’s a shame to see WCWA close its doors, while it has seen some hard time as of late, losing the rights to its territorial location to Wrestlecoast:Cascadia, the WCWA was a great promotion and an integral part of the World Wrestling Alliance. I’ve said before that we have made no movements in attempting to acquire the services of WCWA talent, but seeing that, at least for the time being, WCWA is on hiatus, if any WCWA competitor would like a chance to step into the Asylum and trade the squared circle for the Hexagon, they are more then welcome to come. As a matter of fact I will go on to say that I hope they seriously consider joining the burning river family.”``xEkElZZylEFhfRpKVTz``x1218780413``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://burningriver.extroverthost.com/``x``x``xburningriver_88x31.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xbrw``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

LEGION may be the anti-hero of wrestling. Focused on sixteen wrestlers competing for the Dunn Cup, LEGION is underground and going viral. Beginning in the bowels of Brooklyn those sixteen wrestlers will be thrown into four teams before they're set loose on their quest for the Cup.
SCFW originally ran from 1996 to 1999 before falling apart.

After 10 years it returns``xjvencill``xPREVIEW FOR THE RETURN OF SCFW ON 9/1/08 By Draven George
For the first time in almost ten years, Soul City Fantasy Wrestling returns to sports entertainment world with a special two hour show on TNT.
The following is scheduled for the huge broadcast:
- There are two BIG questions coming into this blockbuster return show - Owner Andrew Woodhouse was last seen at the farewell show being thrown into the back of the SCFW World Champion, Tabu's car. What happened to the owner that night and is there still bad blood there. The second question, what will become of the SCFW World Title ten years later? Will Tabu still be the champion since he never actually lost the title? Will both questions be answered on TNT? Tune in and find out!
- Speaking of the roster, rumor has it that two major stars from SCFW's past have already resigned - Tabu and Rigor Mortis. How many more will return and will the new SCFW talent show this old timers the respect that they believe they deserve?
- Sources tell us that the Enforcer, a former OLWF and SCFW World Champion has something special planned for the new stars in the SCFW locker room. What sort of challenge could the sadistic Enforcer have up his sleeve and why is he refusing to sign a contract with the company? Could the challenge have something to do with his potential contract with SCFW?
- How could we forget about the lovely Jaded? She is planning to bring back her in-ring segment called 'You've Been Jaded'. Rumor has it that she is scouting the new SCFW talent and will be hand selecting her first guest from the new talent pool.
All this and much more September 1 on TNT on the huge night of SCFW's return broadcast! ``xEkElZpkpFpwXNlwWqp``x1218705630``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://scfw.fwrestling.com/``xFor the first time in almost ten years, Soul City Fantasy Wrestling returns to sports entertainment world with a special two hour show on TNT. ``x``xlogosmall.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xSCFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

news and notes``xjoe``xStern Shamrock, former play by play announcer for the Mid-South Wrestling Association and various CAL events, who is the current director of talent relations and the public face of burning river wrestling; the new promotion based out of Cleveland, OH was recently interviewed on the Wrestling World Weekly pod cast and talked about a number of topics.
Here are snippets from the recent interview,
When asked about burning river’s ownership situation, this is what he had to say:
“It’s not me. I am the play-by-play announcer and I am the director of talent relations, and the marketing guy, but I am not the owner. The ownership group of burning river has a vast history of experience in all facest of the sport, but for this venture they have decided to remain behind the scenes and keep the spot light on the competitors.”
On the prospects of burning river becoming part of an umbrella federation such as the WfWA or the NeWA:
“Short answer, no. Long answer, still no.”
When pressed further on the issue, he conceded:
“I will never say never, never. But the odds are very unlikely that burning river would seek to join a larger sanctioning body. That is not to say that we may not seek out close working relationships with such an organization, be it the NeWA or WfWA, the big player on the scene. But burning river at this point would rather keep its independence, to allow itself to do things that would otherwise be harder to do in the confines of a sanctioning body.”
On the rumors that burning river was attempting to sweep in and snatch up talent from WCWA, following the recent ownership shake-up of that promotion.:
“No, we have made no overtures of any kind to anybody affiliated with the WCWA. If any WCWA competitor would like to come to burning river and step into the Asylum, that would be great. If they are a great fit we would welcome them, we have a non-exclusive contract policy anyways. But we have not, nor will we try to steal any talent from the WCWA or any other promotion for that matter. We wish the new ownership group of Whiskey River nothing but the best.
On reports that burning river would seek legal action against Hudson River Wrestling for announcing an upcoming tour that would see it swing by Cleveland.:
“Well even though the Hudson River is a long way from the Cuyahoga, we welcome them to come down. The Gray’s Armory is a venue that has hosted independent shows with the burning river banner, most recently this past July with a card headlined by Summer Games finalist Joe Drago, but we do not have exclusivity with that venue. Circle of Pride, of the NeWA also makes its headquarters in Cleveland, so there is a lot of room for some great wrestling action. We are not concerned, we believe that the fans of Cleveland and the Great Lakes area in general know where the best action is and that’s burning river wrestling.”
On any possible concerns of problems stemming from the signing of controversial wrestler Jeff Andrews:
“While it’s true that Jeff Andrews has a history of being somewhat of a ‘loose cannon,’ its also true that the man is one enormously talented competitor, who puts asses in the seats. We don’t have any concerns or worry’s at all. After all, burning river contracts are open-ended and you know what they say, ‘controversy creates cash.’”``xEkElyEkylEOHyoWHTh``x1218616281``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://burningriver.extroverthost.com/``x``x``xburningriver_88x31.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xbrw``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
IWL Overdrive! 77``xretched``x``xEkElVApZpFCIpYvQiO``x1218594303``xevents``x33021091825623``x``x``x``x``x``x``xod_small.gif``x``x``xThe Juggernauts vs. "The San Francisco Treat" Michael Platt & ???``xThe hard-working referees of the IWL are getting the night off at Overdrive! 77 . . .
In a surprise announcement from Leon Holmes, it was announced that the next edition of Overdrive would feature special referees in every match. The refs were chosen from the IWL locker room and, needless to say, they were quite a few shake-ups present when the matches were announced.
The first bout pits the tough-as-nails Sammy J against Madam Jessi in the first women’s match the IWL has seen in recent memory. Jessi had snubbed Sammy during the previous edition of Overdrive, denying her the tag that she needed during their pairing. Sammy is looking to extract some revenge against a woman she views as nothing close to her equal in the ring. Can Madam Jessi prove her merits in the ring this week? That is the question on everyone’s mind, especially since the special referee for this match will be none other than Crazy Boy, a man Jessi has encountered and even threatened in the interim since Overdrive! 76.
Continuing to pair odd wrestlers in an attempt to bolster the tag team division, Holmes also announced that AJ Phoenix and The Blazing Salvo would be taking on the IWL Tag Team Champions, Jack Campbell and Sylvester Stone, in a non-title bout. Considering that Phoenix is still without a partner to challenge the champs, the door is wide open for auditions to continue for that spot, and Salvo is as good as they come right now. The Tag Champs will be looking to recover from their loss last week, though, so Phoenix and Salvo will have to bring themselves together as a team if they hope to overcome the duo. And Salvo particularly will have the deck stacked against him as Hellbender will be the special referee for this match.
For the first time since she won the title, T-Bird will be defending her Intercontinental Title against the man she defeated for it, Jose Ramon. It’s a King of the CyberRing rematch featuring two people who both lay claim to the title and who both refuse to give up the notion that the other doesn’t deserve it. But what happens when you add the title-hungry Chris Childs to the match as the referee? One word: pandemonium.
In a classic “what if” match, IWL Heavyweight Champion Crazy Boy will make his second appearance of the evening as he goes toe-to-toe with the longest reigning IWL Television Champion of all time, The Nightmare. This will be a non-title match to be sure, but there is a certain amount of pride on the line as both men have been on a hot streak lately, and Crazy Boy has definitely taken exception to The Nightmare surpassing his title reign with the Television Championship. But he may not be able to pull off the win as Madam Jessi will return the favor of his refereeing by putting on the stripes for this match. Crazy Boy just might think twice about treating her unfairly during the earlier match, as it is quite obvious that she will have the capability to make his life hell.
The main event will see the culmination of a challenge that was laid down months ago by Click: he wanted to face Laverle Emmanuel’s wrestler before he knew who he was. Now, he’ll face that man: “The San Francisco Treat” Michael Platt. But the intrigue does not end there because this will be a tag team match with Click’s partner, Hellbender, on one side and Platt’s partner on the other. The real mystery is who will fill that vacant spot; Platt has left the decision to Leon Holmes and we all know how he likes to shake things up. Could it be Hawk? Marcus Gratton? Triple X? Or maybe even someone else? The one person it won’t be, though, will be The Nightmare who will be the special referee for the match. Given the tension between the Television Champion and Click, SFT definitely has an edge despite his partner’s mystery status. Regardless, Platt will have his hands full and his undefeated streak to worry about this week. His fate lies squarely in the hands of Leon Holmes and whomever becomes his partner. ``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xIWL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x08.17.2008``xhttp://iwl.iwle.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Following last week’s Overdrive, the card for CyberSlam will begin to take shape as new rivalries are ignited and different opponents crawl out of the woodwork. This week will feature, among other things, the return to action of the IWL Heavyweight Champion Crazy Boy as he takes on Pitbull in a Non-Title match. The last time we saw Crazy Boy in action was against Rodney Phoenix in a Three Stages of Hell match, so it will be interesting to see if that match took the toll on him that everyone expected.
Continuing the budding competition between Marcus Gratton and Chris Childs, they will be facing each other in a tag team match, with Childs partner being A.J. Phoenix and Gratton’s partner being Jose Ramon. Gratton’s team may have the slight advantage as he has the former Intercontinental Champion on his side, but with the slump Gratton has been in recently, the outcome of this match is anyone’s guess. If Phoenix and Childs can pick up the win here, we may be seeing a future tag team in the making.
Two dark characters don’t make a right . . . or do they? That question shall be answered when the IWL Television Champion, The Nightmare pits his skills in the ring against the monster known as Hellbender. Hellbender’s luck in the singles arena has not been noteworthy, but his monstrous actions have surely caught the attention of the IWL veteran. Can The Nightmare overcome this huge obstacle in his way?
With his new attitude, it is no surprise that Leon Holmes has chosen The Blazing Salvo to participate in a Street Fight. What is surprising, however, is his opponent will be a newcomer to the IWL, Streets Wilson. As such, the match has been deemed a “Welcome to the IWL” Street Fight. “Welcome” indeed. With his newfound fire, The Blazing Salvo will most certainly be looking to make an impression (and a statement” against the rookie. Wilson will have to bring his every best to the table for this one.
And in the main event, Leon Holmes proves that puns are still alive and well in professional wrestling, where the term “Full House Match” takes an a quite literal meaning as two “Kings” will face three “Queens” in a handicap match. The “Kings” team will consist of the reigning IWL Tag Team Champions, “Screamer” Jack Campbell and Sylvester Stone. The tag champs may have their hands full with the other team, though, as the “Queens” side consists of Madam Jessi, Sammy J, and the self-proclaimed IWL Fabulous World Champion “The San Francisco Treat” Michael Platt. Will the tag team champions overcome the numbers and pick up the win against their feminine opponents? Or will the Queens show the Kings that there is no such thing as the weaker sex?
Tune in Sunday, August 10th for all this IWL action and much more!``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xIWL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x08.10.2008``xhttp://iwl.iwle.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Elite Championship Almost Decided!``xNFW``xThe two men are none other then Steve Knox (NFW) and Andy Murray (GCW). These two have both proven they have what it takes to reach this step, but now it's up to one of them to take that next step and prove they have what it takes to become... elite. At Colossus V, next weekend, one of these two men will be crowned the first ever Elite Champion, and these are the details on how everything will be taking place.
Roleplaying beings now, Saturday, August 2nd, and will wrap up Friday, August 8th at 12:01AM. From there, judging will take place, and then the match will be submitted where everyone will read the results the evening of August 9th. For both of the competitors, please send strats or ideas to me for your match. I'll also be in contact with you very soon.
What's there more to say? Nothing much. I'm proud of what these two have done, and I look forward to seeing what these two will produce.
What's to come? vBookie Threads. Predictions. Thoughts. The whole works.

New Face on FWrestling.com``xNFW``xThe California Wrestling Association is a new, territorial wrestling league based out of the greater Los Angeles area in California. It runs regular shows in the world-famous Grand Auditorium (renovated for 2,257 person capacity), former home of two Olympic Games and now home to the hottest new territorial wrestling league on the west coast.
CWA is privately held and backed by a mystery business consortium. The mouthpiece of the organization is Michael L. Castillo, former wrestler on various circuits from 1999 thru 2007. He was also an instrumental piece in the formation and launch of the Shootclub Wrestling Alliance. It’s with this experience that he hopes to help build the CWA from humble beginnings into a Global business.
CWA aims to showcase the finest rising talent in the wrestling world to a territorial, regional, national — and perhaps eventually global — audience. With regular cable TV broadcasts and deals being struck to hold regular supercard events, the profile of CWA is sure to rise.

IWL Overdrive! 75``xretched``x``xEkEZpFEVpABOGCVPoo``x1217035109``xevents``x33021091825623``x``x``x``x``x``x``xod_small.gif``x``x``xMarcus Gratton vs. Chris Childs
``xThe fallout from the King of the CyberRing will be witnessed at the IWL’s first Overdrive since the historic pay-per-view. In announcement that shocked IWL fans everywhere as well as the entire locker room, Leon Holmes revealed that Sammy J would be going head-to-head against the man that targeted her at the King of the CyberRing, Pitbull. He was able to get the better of their exchanges in the ladder match, but will history repeat itself?
The next match of the evening is also in direct response to the events in the aforementioned ladder match, in the form of a tag team outing. The Blazing Salvo and Hellbender will team up against the mentor-protégé antics of A.J. Phoenix and Hawk, leaving one to wonder who will be the team left standing. Hellbender and Salvo had an absolutely brutal exchange during the six-man ladder match, and Salvo’s own suicidal efforts left both men removed from the fray. Will they be able to coexist long enough to finish of Phoenix and Hawk, the latter being the man who sacrificed himself so that his mentor could win the match?
Certainly Leon Holmes must have tag teams on the brain as he announced that the number one contender for the IWL Television Title, Click, will team with the incredibly egotistical (yet tremendously talented) Jose Ramon. These two men share very little in common on the surface, but both have an equal interest in their opponents. The opposite team will feature IWL Intercontinental Champion T-Bird, the woman that was able to put Ramon down for the count at the KoCR and take his precious title away from him. And her partner will be the longest reigning IWL Television Champion of all time, The Nightmare; a man that will be forced to defend his title against Click in the very near future. With all of these egos and titles involve din one match, mayhem is sure to ensue!
And what Overdrive would be complete without a First Impressions match featuring IWL’s recent signees? This will be a triple threat match involving Kehrl Feren, Steven Eden, and Madam Jessi. Will the “Scourge of Romania” prove that he is just as dangerous as he claims? Will Steve Eden simply overpower his opponents with his unbelievable sex appeal? Will Madam Jessi dominate these two boys like she has every other man to cross her path? The possibilities are truly dizzying.
In a match straight out of the KoCR “What Ifs”, Marcus Gratton will go one-on-one with Chris Childs. Both men failed to make it past the first round in the King of the CyberRing tournament, so there is no doubt that they will be out with something to prove at Overdrive. To win this match, Gratton will have to refocus his efforts on the IWL, with his sights plainly focused on Childs. But Childs will not go gently into that good night following his loss. He claims to have learned from it and will no doubt struggle to regain his previous momentum.
Overdrive will culminate in a very special ceremony to coronate the new King of the CyberRing, “The San Francisco Treat” Michael Platt. Following his win in the tournament, he revealed his new manager to the entire world, Laverle Emmanuel. It is expected that his manager will be present for the ceremony as well and will most likely have some choice words for the IWL Heavyweight Champion, Crazy Boy. But Crazy Boy is not likely to take any criticism lying down, so this pair may want to curb their juvenile antics for the coronation.
This is going to be a jam-packed event on the road to CyberSlam and the IWL welcomes everyone to attend. As a special promotion, it will be distributing punch and pie to the first 500 people through the door.

July: Is the Dragon's Eye on You?``xNFW``xKarl Brown has participated in FW feds for the past several years including EPW, NFW and TEAM. He's also an A1E stalwart for longer as well. We're very excited to see what he has to say on three of FW.com's favorite feds to cover.
From the Dragon himself: "OK. So I kinda fell behind on updating this place. My bad. But here today is some more Dragonic goodness (and yes, Dragonic is a word).
Seems like a good time to do one of those "Half-year" review type things. But I'm gonna do it a bit differently. I'm gonna do three of these - one on NFW, one on A1E, and one on Empire Pro, which I do still read occasionally."
Karl starts it off with a bang-up job on his first review of A1E. Click on the Community tab or follow the link below to read up on Karl's thoughts.

2nd Quarter Round-Up``xNFW``xThree months of insanity, bloodshed and broken bones has altered NFW’s future dramatically, but the Wrestling Revolution grows stronger. At the half-year mark, Dan Ryan has retired while Nova sits atop the mountain…yet he knows in the shadows that dozens of current superstars and past legends will threaten him for the World Championship.
March 31 – June 30, 2008. It may not seem like a long time, but when you think about Crash 44 and 45…Wrestlestock Two…the New York City Brawl run and the just-started NFW 2008 Summer Grand Prix, it starts boggling the mind on how far New Frontier Wrestling has come since the close of 2005-2007’s Season 2 Ultratitle run. One year later to the date, they found themselves entertaining 60,000 in Indio, California for their Wrestlestock PPV which cemented legacies and its status as the Greatest Show on Earth and Beyond. The historic event marked the final chapter of Dan Ryan’s career, while Nova’s NFW career entered the echelon of Michael Manson’s.
Many pundits questioned whether NFW could keep the momentum going or if they had reached a relative peak that they would not top for a long period of time. The Wrestling Revolution in its stead has attracted top talent from around the world and the inaugural NFW Grand Prix possesses 10 Cruiserweight contestants that could be our next World Championship contender.
The Grand Prix devised for Cruiserweights only will be a summer-long journey that will award the winner a title shot at EACH belt associated with New Frontier Wrestling. That’s a possible 5 title shots including the newly associated Elite Championship. NFW newcomers SARS and Impulse join NFW incumbents in Felix Red, Professor Tremendous and Lord Coyner Pollard. They will compete against a world-class superstar cast including The Illustrious Face Eater, Doctor Curiosity, Digital Mortality, High Flyer, Simply Beautiful. 10 athletes sure to give NFW more than their money’s worth.
Meanwhile, heated rivalries are starting to blaze a trail that New Frontier Wrestling sure has never seen. Sars and Joe the Plumber, the Hollywood Wrecking Crew and the Suicide Kings, Nova and anyone that touches his belt, Rook Black and the Uber Judge, The Devil’s Rejects…and everyone. Blood is being spilt maybe moreso than the Ultratitle Years and NFW v.1 Years combined.
With Crash 46, SUPERCrash 2, the Grand Prix Finals, a returning Kin Hiroshi and so much more on the horizon…the Wrestling Revolution doesn’t just seem stronger…it’s also possibly scarier than ever before.

Kamikaze & Stein's tag titles were on the line (and retained) in this match, which must be seen to be believed!
"The Dynasty" Dan Miller destroyed Jonothan Kurtis. Miller and Hank Henderson attempted to cripple the youngest Kurtis brother, when "The Show" Chad Kurtis - whom Miller injured several months ago - finally returned, delivering his patented CK Finale! Chad Kurtis and Dan Miller will finally tie up next month in Tacoma.
Stone Zellor & Lady Sparks d. The Beast & WHITE CHOCOLATE in a mixed tag match when Stone pinned White Chocolate after a Stone's Throw. Post-match, The Beast went into a rage because of Stone hitting Tiffany, attacking referee after referee including pint-sized Morgan Smythe. What will the repercussions be for The Beast?
Ravager, Dez Carter & KRENSHOV d. Prince W. Darko, KBOND & The Screaming Falcon when Carter pinned Falcon. As expected, The Darko/KBOND and Falcon team was not quite on the same page. Ravager, Dez and KRENSHOV were a different story, working as a solid unit determined to hit their opponents as hard as they possibly could. KRENSHOV was, however, unable to truly get his hands on Prince Darko.
Trent Daniels d. "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan with an inside cradle, finally defeating the wrestling veteran on his third try! Daniels came into the match the ultimate underdog after suffering a vicious Headliner from Ryan earlier in the show. Somehow, he was able to counter a Humility Bomb attempt with a surprise inside cradle to score the one-two-three, earning the biggest win of his young career!
Krusty Kid Paul d. Tommy Deathrow in a sick Barbed Wire No Ropes IRON MAIDEN match. The former partners showed no regard for their bodies - much less their opponents. It was a violent, bloody and brutal affair, but to the shock of the fans, Krusty Kid Paul again proved the better man, stuffing STD into the Iron Maiden for the win.
Mystic Exposition vs The Decapitators vs Celtic Assassins d. Team Man in a tremendously fun match featuring three NAPW alumni teams and the fan-favorite Mystic Exposition! This was a match full of comedy and high-spots, with a finish that saw all three fan-favorite teams pin Team Man... making your winners MyEx, Decaps and Celtics! The crowd loved every minute of it, and it was a needed change of pace following the STD/KKP contest.
"LDK" Lloyd Rees d. Jake Phoenix with the Conception Bay Chinlock to retain the NAPW World Title. This was a brutal affair of a different sort. No weapons or barbed wire, but Phoenix used his bare fists to spatter Rees' blood over the canvas. Rees was able to lock on his Conception Bay Chinlock and though Phoenix struggled, he was forced to tap out. However, this finish was not without controversy, as Phoenix's foot was underneath the bottom rope when he tapped, a detail that escaped the attention of referee John Sharplin. How will NAPW address this situation?

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE:
The newest member of PTC, All-Star Wrestling, will officially kick off this month with the first ever Shooting Star Tournament live from the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, New York.
The promotion, meant to serve as an inter-promotion featuring top PTC, free agents, and other talent from around the wrestling world, will feature monthly events run by owner Angelo Frazetti.
Frazetti, a former professional wrestler and manager and the trainer of current PRIME, A1E, and EPW star Simply Beautiful, founded the company earlier this month.
"What can I say, the wrestling bug bit me again and I had to get involved. I've never run a promotion before, but I feel like the concept is fresh and exciting. Take the Shooting Star Tournament, for example - it's brilliant! All of the best wrestlers never to be world champions trying to stake their claim for a World Title shot at the same event! The competition is going to blow anything you've seen from wrestling lately out of the water!" said Frazetti.
The first event is scheduled to take place on the last weekend of June. For more information, contact Angelo Frazetti's office in Buffalo, New York (555) 555-1951 and visit the official website.

NFW June 2008: Steve Knox``xNFW``xThe iconoclastic legend of AWESOMENESS has set NFW afire since his debut at Wrestlestock 2. He's now merely one match away at Crash 45 from receiving a National Championship title shot.
Steve is the second son of Earl Knox, a professional wrestler turned actor who died in 2001 in an accident on the set of his third movie.
A mainstay of the Squared Circle since 2005, Steve has been wrestling around the independents since he was 16. A man who literally eats, sleeps, and drinks the business, Steve has put professional wrestling first at the cost of friends and family, and he's begun to feel the effects of such a lifestyle. He has few friends and nearly all of them are fellow wrestlers, among said friends are Alexandria Malone, Coral Avalon, Miranda O'Reily, and some others. He does not get along with his equally successful wrestling brothers, Simon and Soren, despite their status as wrestlers. He also does not particularly get along with his little sister, Siobahn.
Steve's success in the Squared Circle, in particular becoming the most decorated star in tSC's history, has caught the attention of other promoters like Craig Miles. Now he's in NFW and tSC at the same time, and lord knows which one will break him first.
Steve is a technical/power hybrid wrestler, focusing primarily on suplexes, throws, and brawling. His style is aggressive, but resourceful... he likes to pound an opponent into virtual submission with his techniques, and in matches that have few to no rules, he'll take advantage of his environment as much as possible.
Steve's size and strength allow him the benefit of being able to suplex opponents in the 300-400 lbs. range, and he can even lift opponents with great difficulty into a standing fireman's carry. He is also strong enough that his lariat (the Gold Rush) is potent even against much larger opponents.``xEkEFykFVylEXuoEucr``x1213627168``xfeature``x53481091834249``xNatrone Rice``x``xThe iconoclastic legend of AWESOMENESS has set NFW afire since his debut at Wrestlestock 2.

No doubt, the FWCircuit has alot going on for itself as EPW's Aggression 36 was a tectonic shift for the federation as Lindsay Troy (SHE'S BACK!) takes over for Dan Ryan as EPW head-honcho following the aftermath of A1E's legendary Vengeance PPV. Moreover, Aggression 37 looms large with the first-ever Kings of the Cage tag-team tournament to take place, where a special somebody to this website happens to be participating.
Meanwhile, Indy fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming NAPW Chaos in Cowtown event as many voters got to actually VOTE to determine the show's lineup! Along with REBEL PRO, these two feds have been shining stars on the affiliate circuit.
Finally, NFW has put Wrestlestock 2 behind, partied down in New York City and now is days away from going LIVE from Ground Zero in Hershey, PA for it's 45th episode of CRASH TV. A stellar, all-star lineup and the kickoff for the 2008 NFW Grand Prix.

Wrestlestock 2 Success & Fed Future``xNFW``xWhen the bell tolled on Dan Ryan's career in NFW, critics and fans could all agree that he went out with class, a 5-star match and in the main event of a PPV that will be talked about for decades.
For approximately five years, many fans of the FWrestling circuit have watched Dan Ryan's time in NFW as one of the most topsy-turvy roller coaster rides of his career. Winning wasn't something that came very easily over long stretches of time, he'd beat Michael Manson and Eddie Mayfield...but somehow lose to Yori Yakamo Junior.
At the beginning of '08, it all changed when Dan Ryan finally put some of those demons to rest and won the NFW World Championship. Unfortunately, not ALL were put to bed as the Season 2 Ultratitle Champion, Nova, a long-time thorn in Ryan's pride...was the eventual hurdle Ryan would have to clear at Wrestlestock 2.
People can claim that Ryan's extensive touring over the last three years wore him down, but there was no question on April 20, 2008 -- Nova did the one thing Ryan did not expect, but could be proud to leave knowing...Nova OUTWRESTLED the champion, making himself and Michael Manson the only two wrestlers that will ever have held the NFW World and Ultratitle Season Championships.
Nova's glory was the championship switch on the evening as the other two champions in Teresa Quaranta and Joe the Plumber faced their TOUGHEST challenges to date in NFW. Teresa squeaked out a submission victory over a slumping Sean Stevens, but was attacked viciously by XXX after the match. Similarly, Joe the Plumber somehow was STRETCHERED out of NFW TV Title 25-Man Royale...and STILL the Television Champion, withstanding the trio of Impulse (118 minutes!), Steve Knox (tSC vet) and Sars the Clown II (freak!) at the end. NFW officials and personnel have remained VERY quiet on the champions' medical situations.
While, Joe survived the return of Jason Payne (what a 15 minutes!), Felix Red is dealing with knowing the secret identity of the Uber Judge who helped him and Rook Black defeat Luci/Legion 4 in a classic extreme match...but then Felix watched his lawyer be banned from NFW...just mere moments before KIN HIROSHI RETURNED!
Brock Alyas was able to defeat the legendary Professor Tremendous, but still ran into a money problem after the match...and I'm sure you're wondering what happened to our tag team championship match, but if you didn't hear...Calvin Carlton and the HWC took out DC Stratton BEFORE the match, refused to wrestle in the environment and fled via Kobe Bryant's helicopter.
Alot of impact, alot of closure happened at this PPV, which critics have applauded. Nova moves atop the throne of the FWrestling circuit as Dan Ryan steps aside, the National and Television Champions have BARELY survived this event...only to be faced with a huge influx of talent. Nova has to wonder who will be coming after himself since he's been locked in a tango with Ryan for the better half of two years.
Felix Red, Sean Stevens, Rook Black, Steve Knox, Almasy...some great wrestling icons.
Brock Alyas, Impulse, Sars II...the future of wrestling.
And what about men like James Varga, Hunchblack, Legion? These freaks with nothing to lose that may be staying around against the Revolution Leader's wishes?
And in the background lurking are Jason Payne and Kin Hiroshi, two NFW former superstars perhaps plotting their rise to the pantheon which Nova stands.

Preview of American Anarchy 2008``xSexy_Bo``xAmerican Anarchy 2008...a night which will be remembered. The question is, what will it be remembered for? Will it be for another impressive showing by the number one contender, Derrick Steele? Maybe for the Ambulance Match pitting Mikey Massacre to defend the Carolinas Championship against Manny X? Or maybe it will be for the unbelievable main event where Lloyd Rees will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against the likes of Kurt Castle, Kyle Roberts, and Thomas Young. We'll find out on June 3rd. Taking a look at the current card, we're in for some great matches.
With that said, let's take a look at what's in store for us. Cuzin Zeke will take on Mr. Hollywood at American Anarchy. Cuzin Zeke has been impressive as of late. He had an amazing showing against the Carolinas Champion, but wasn't able to walk away with the victory. Look for Zeke to come in to this match with something to prove. He wants to be seen as a contender for the belt, and defeating Mr. Hollywood could propel him back to that stature. But it'll be easier said than done. Mr. Hollywood has shown his skills in the matches he has been in since becoming a REBEL. One of the matches actually featured his opponent, Cuzin Zeke in it. Although Zeke walked out the winner of the match, Mr. Hollywood was not the man that he pinned. Hollywood has suffered two straight losses in which he wasn't the person pinned. Look for him to be ready for this one on one match, and try to bring himself in to the title hunt. Cuzin Zeke and Mr. Hollywood should put on a great match for the fans at American Anarchy.
We'll also see Blood take on Jason. It's a battle of the two evils. Blood showed his dominance and his intestinal fortitude in his first match for REBEL when he chose to face Galactix and Chad Kurtis in a handicap match. Even though he lost the match, he still managed to knock out Galactix and to control most of the match against Kurtis. His second match was against a very hot Derrick Steele. Again, Blood showed that he means business in REBEL as he took the fight to Steele, but again he fell to defeat. We also saw a lighter side of Blood as he came to the aid of Chad Kurtis. A challenge was laid out by this powerhouse to Kurt Castle for a Last Man Standing match, and to show that he's ready, he dominated Warren at REBEL Underground, forcing the bloody Warren to eventually tap out to a modified crossface. Blood appears to be vicious in the ring, and he could very well walk out of American Anarchy with another victim added to his list. On the other hand, Jason has alot to prove in this match. He's had his problems with previous matches, and a win here will give him a start to a future in REBEL. Jason has the drive and determination to get this win. But blood has the viciousness and lack of caring for his opponent to get the win. Look for this to be a close match between two men who will stop at nothing to get the win.
In tag team action, we will see The Dark Market take on the Nation Of Innovation. The Dark Market took out Natural Destruction at REBEL Underground in a tables match. Now they will face a team who has been hot on the rise of the past few weeks. The Richest SOB and The Motivator have their work cut out for them, but the winner of this match could be the next in line for a shot at the World Tag Team Titles. Look for Williams and Thompson to bring all that they have to get the win. As for the Nation Of Innovation, they have had impressive matches in the past, and they have proven that they are one of the best tag teams in REBEL. Their competition may be The Dark Market, but the true test will be to not look past this match to an opportunity at the gold. The Dark Market taking on the Nation Of Innovation is going to be an excellent match to see on a blockbuster show.
The number one contender, Derrick Steele will take on Galactix at American Anarchy. And as much as I hate to say this, the opinions for this match may turn out to be a little one sided. Derrick Steele has been an unstoppable wrecking ball since coming to REBEL. He has defeated Kyle Roberts...he has defeated Blood...he won the Bunkhouse Stampede. I'm not sure that anyone can stop him. He has great technical skills and a high awareness level. He is a true superstar in the ring. He's going in to this match knowing that he'll face the champion at the next REBEL Underground. And for Galactix, this could be a bad thing. Galactix has had problems in his matches He was knocked out in his first match, and he just couldn't finish off his opponents in his second match. He needs to get this win to prove that he belongs here in REBEL. But he's up against Derrick Steele. If Galactix is going to win this match, he's going to have to play to Steele's weaknesses. And even with that strategy, defeating this man will be a difficult task. Galactix has fight in him, but everything Steele touches turns to gold. Galactix is in for one long night.
The Black Underground Railroad will defend the World Tag Team Championship against John X Core and Nick Everhardt. This could be a big highlight for American Anarchy as The Black Underground Railroad has recently shown that they are a nearly unstoppable tag team, most recently defeating Thomas Young and Jeff James. But the competition they will face at American Anarchy is a new formed team, and a team that was able to defeat the Nation Of Innovation. The Assman and Zellor are a favorite of the crowd, but Everhardt and Core as singles wrestlers both have proven their worth. And as a team, they have proven that they can work together as a cohesive unit. The Black Underground Railroad will be in for a battle at American Anarchy, and there's a possibility that we may see new Tag Team Champions. We'll just have to wait and see.
American Anarchy will also host an Ambulance Match with the Carolinas Championship on the line as Manny X once against squares off against the current champion, Mikey Massacre. These two had a tremendous match the first time around, and this match should be no different. Mikey Massacre has really shown how great of a wrestler he is over the past couple of weeks, but so has Manny. Both superstars have the skills to be great champions, but only one will walk out of American Anarchy as the champion. We will see someone take a ride in an ambulance, the question is...will the other one follow in an ambulance shortly thereafter? These two are going to rip each other apart at American Anarchy, and I guarantee that the crowd will be eating it up. Look for blood, chaos, and nothing short of pure hell in this match. Fans, get ready for a bloodbath!
Finally, the night will be capped off with a Four Way Dance for the World Heavyweight Championship. The competitors will be "The Technical Terror" Lloyd Rees, who is also currently the champion. "The Devastator" Kurt Castle. Stylin' Kyle Roberts. And finally, Derrick Steele's pick for this match, Thomas Young. Before we get in to the high points of this match, let's look at how each man got to this match.
It originally looked like Jake Phoenix would come to American Anarchy as the champion, but at Naval Attack, he defended his championship against Rees in a Steel Cage Submission match. It turned out to be one of the greatest matches that REBEL has seen, and in the end, Lloyd Rees was able to walk away as the new champion. Both men deserve the utmost respect after their show at Naval Attack., but in the end, only one man would advance to American Anarchy, and that man in Lloyd Rees. There were three qualifying matches signed to determine who would participate at American Anarchy.
We saw Kurt Castle take on Chad Kurtis as one of the qualifying matches. A week before this at Sands And Slams, Castle attacked Kurtis after his match. This gave Kurtis the incentive to rekindle a feud which the two had had in the past. But at Naval Attack, it just wasn't Kurtis' night. The two men had a brutal match, but in the end, The Devastator came out on top and was announced as one of the participants for American Anarchy.
REBEL Underground also hosted a qualifying match as Kyle Roberts squared off against El Rey de Corrizones. The two put on a spectacular show, both having close encounters of winning the match. But after an ending full of reversals, Kyle Roberts was able to hit the Emerald Fusion and solidify his entrance in to American Anarchy.
The other match took place at Naval Attack as Blood took on the number one contender, Derrick Steele. If Blood was to walk out victorious, he would be added to the match. If Steele was victorious, he would be allowed to choose the final participant. Again, another great match as both competitors gave the fans a great show. But in the end, Derrick Steele was able to put Blood away with the Blue Moon. At REBEL Underground, Derrick Steele announced that Thomas Young would be the final participant in the match at American Anarchy.
Now each of these men have a great chance of walking out of American Anarchy as the World Heavyweight Champion. Lloyd Rees is a very capable athlete. Very few saw this man walking in to American Anarchy as champion, but he did. Rees will have to rely more on his technical skills and his submissionist style in this match. He has three other competitors, and in my opinion, laying back and letting the others fight it out might actually fall against him. He has three other athletes that possess great skills, and laying back may allow one of these three to get a quick victory. He'll also need to isolate at least two of his opponents. If he can bring it back down to a one on one match, I feel that Rees will have the advantage.
Kurt Castle is an impressive smashmouth wrestler. His power game is almost unmatched in REBEL. He defeated a very capable Chad Kurtis in a brutal match to come to American Anarchy. Castle will have to rely on his power game to win this match. He has an arsenal of high impact moves that can devastate his opponents, which will make it easy for him to bring this down to a one on one match. One thing that may take away from his arsenal is if he's looking past this match at a possible Last Man Standing match with Blood. We expected to hear an answer regarding this challenge at REBEL Underground, but it was still left up in the air when the show ended. If Castle is looking past this match, he will lose. Young, Roberts, and Rees all three will see this weakness, and they will exploit it.
Kyle Roberts had a great match with El Rey to show why he deserves to be in this match. If he wants to succeed in this match, he'll have to use his technical skills to try and wear down his opponents. If he can wear them down, he'll take away from their arsenals. And when the time is right, like he does in most of his matches, Roberts will have to hit the quick impact move and get the three count on a worn down man. Roberts has a big advantage in this match as he is both powerful and agile. He had a string of bad luck, but he has his chance to shine again. He might be the most eager to win this match.
Finally we have Thomas Young. Young is the wildcard in this match. He's primarily seen as being a tag team wrestler, but he has the skills to win this match. His technical standpoint will help him alot, as will his submission skills. And as we've seen, Young is good at just straight up fighting. He can rely on all three of these attributes in this match. This is Young's opportunity to shine in the spotlight, and he won't take that lightly. He may be the underdog for this match, but this could be a match to prove to the world that he is capable of being the top dog in this industry. His abilities in the art of submission could secure a victory for him. His technical style will also come in useful to help wear his opponents down. The other three in this match have to be looking at Thomas Young as the underdog for this match, and that will definitely play to his favor.
The bottom line is, this main event could go to any of these four men. And whoever walks out as the champion, they'll definitely have deserved it. Four great competitors battling for the highest prize in the industry...could you ask for anything more? So whether you want to see an Ambulance match where there is sure to be blood. A battle between a red hot contender and a man looking to show that he deserves to be here. Two men that are a pure example of what evil really is clashing against each other. A great tag team battling with an up and coming team that is very capable of being the top of the division. Or maybe a match for the highest prize in the business with four of the world's best giving everything they have to show these fans just what it takes to be a REBEL. Whatever it is you're looking for, American Anarchy 2008 is sure to deliver.``xEkEEZZFVuusKXaUIGM``x1211777144``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/``xWith a block buster main event featuring four of the best wrestlers on the Indy scene, American Anarchy will be a super hot ticket.``x``xREBEL_whtline.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xREBEL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Steele Dojo website previews REBEL Underground show``xSexy_Bo``xREBEL Underground Prepare For Debut Show - Full Lineup Announced
MAY 13 - After the conclusion of REBEL's Naval Attack, the full card for the first ever REBEL Underground show on Saturday, May 24 was released, with five big matches highlighted by a Carolinas Championship defense and the final qualifying match for a spot in the Four Way Dance at American Anarchy II for the REBEL World Heavyweight Championship:
REBEL CAROLINAS CHAMPIONSHIP Mikey Massacre (C) vs Cuzin Zeke Mikey Massacre ended the lengthy reign of JJ Nickels last month. Since then, a war has begun to brew between Massacre and Manny X that will culminate in REBEL's first ever Ambulance Match at American Anarchy II. That match might not be for the Carolinas Championship, however, as Massacre defends his gold against the highly popular and highly successful Cuzin Zeke in the main event. Cuzin Zeke has tasted gold before in the form of the World Tag Team Titles, but this is his first shot at singles gold. Will Mikey Massacre overlook Kentucky's favorite son on the way to American Anarchy II, or will Cuzin Zeke be another notch on Massacre's growing belt?
AMERICAN ANARCHY FOUR WAY DANCE QUALIFIER El Rey de Corizones vs Stylin' Kyle Roberts At this point, we know two of the four participants in the Four Way Dance at American Anarchy II. "Da Technical Terror" Lloyd Rees will be defending his title against "The Devastator" Kurt Castle, a wrestler of "Diamond" Derrick Steele's choosing, and the winner of this contest. El Rey de Corizones is coming off of a pair of abbreviated World Tag Title reigns with Cuzin Zeke, and hasn't seen the winner's share of the purse since Birthday Bash. Stylin' Kyle Roberts hasn't been a bellwether of success either, with only one win in his last eight matchups, including a World Title loss and the loss of the Number One Contender's Trophy at Sand and Slams. Both men can put their recent lack of success behind them with one victory in the REBEL Underground, though, as a win here will propel them to the Four Way Dance for the REBEL World Heavyweight Championship!
THREE WAY DANCE Mr. Hollywood vs Manny X vs Galactix Three completely different personalities converge in a Three Way Dance in the REBEL Underground! The psychotic Manny X is looking to inflict some pain on anyone in his path to Mikey Massacre and the Ambulance Match at American Anarchy II. Galactix is just looking to stay upright for more than two minutes after the beating he took at the hands of Blood at Sand and Slams. And Mr. Hollywood is looking for redemption after a series of close but not quite results since his debut at Birthday Bash. There's no gold on the line here, but a victory not only gets you the winner's share of the purse, it'll move you into title contention with a title scene that's more wide open than ever before.
TABLES MATCH The Dark Market vs Natural Destruction Two teams looking to step up the ranks and move towards the World Tag Team Titles will get a chance to make a big impression, and leave their opponents in a pile of splinters! The unorthodox duo of Natural Destruction looks to offer up a sacrifice to their deities in the form of The Dark Market, two men who wheel anddeal the world away without a care. Someone's leaving with wood chips stuck in their back and someone's leaving with a big time win under their belts!
Blood vs. Warren Rock on! Warren managed to slay one monster at Naval Attack in the form of JASON, but in the REBEL Underground, he'll have to take on another angry monster in the form of the veteran Blood. The slacker extraordinaire will have to survive the onslaught of a man who's looked dominant in his two singles matches so far, but still hasn't managed to come out ahead with a victory. Blood's on the hunt for a win... is Warren going to be a sacrifice in that hunt?
ALSO APPEARING "The Devastator" Kurt Castle and "Diamond" Derrick Steele "Diamond" Derrick Steele will announce who will receive the fourth spot into the Four Way Dance at American Anarchy II for the REBEL World Heavyweight Championship and one of the other participants in that match, "The Devastator" Kurt Castle will have words for the REBEL audience as well.
Also, before the main show, some of the Steele Dojo trainees will be wrestling exhibition matches. This could be your first look at a future REBEL World Champ!

Two wrestlers BANNED from REBEL``xSexy_Bo``x*Shane Scarr suffered a broken neck, and initial reports say that he will never wrestle again.
As a result, Prince Darko and KBOND, both whom are not under contract with REBEL, are BANNED from any REBEL promoted event. We wish the best to Shane Scarr and his family.
*After the incident between Manny X and Mikey Massacre, Rick Garrett has told both men that they cannot lay a hand on the other man until the Ambulance match at American Anarchy. If they do attack or provoke the other, they will both be suspended and no match will take place.
*Jake Phoenix will invoke his rematch clause for the World Heavyweight title at Red, White and Bruised II. Who he will face? It could be ANYONE by then.
*Derrick Steele and Kurt Castle will be live at the REBEL Underground, Saturday May 24th. Steele will be there to announce the man who he will give the open contract to for the Four Way Dance at American Anarchy. ``xEkEplAAEplcCoCarVC``x1210902708``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/index.shtml``xAs a result of breaking Shane Scarr's neck, NAPW Wrestler and former REBEL Tag champ, Prince W.

Lloyd Rees wins REBEL World title!``xSexy_Bo``xLloyd Rees, who has held more titles in NAPW than anyone, won the REBEL World title at the May 12th Naval Attack show. He fought "The Murder City Devil" Jake Phoenix in a brutal Submission Cage Match.
Other matches on the card saw The Black Underground Railroad defend their World tag titles successfully against the brother tandem of Thomas Young and Jeff James.
Derrick Steele, head instructor at Steele Dojo Carolina, which serves as a training center for REBEL Pro, defeated Blood in a World Title Four Way Dance Qualifier. Since he already has an upcoming World title match, Derrick Steele must GIVE the contract away, to ANY wrestler in the World.
Kurt Castle defeated former rival Chad Kurtis in a Four Way Dance Qualifier as well. In what has been dubbed match of the night, and match of the year canidate, Castle and Kurtis went toe to toe, but Castle won after a Belly to Belly suplex landed Chad through a table outside the ring.
The final Qualifier, and the announcement of who Derrick Steele will choose, will take place at the first REBEL Underground show, as REBEL expands it's show format from two a month to three a month. That match will see former and perhaps Greatest REBEL World Champ, Kyle Roberts taking on Mexican Sensation El Rey de Corinzones.
John X Core and Nick Everhardt tagged for the first time ever and defeated the Nation of Innovation. The match gave match makers a huge impression, as Core and Everhardt will take on the Black Underground Railroad at American Anarchy 2008. The title belts WILL be on the line.``xEkEplAllEpQbYPuiNz``x1210902410``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com/results/33.shtml``xLloyd Rees defeats Jake Phoenix to become only the second man ever to be a former NAPW World champ and to hold the REBEL World title.

NEWS!``xMurcielago``x*Rick Garrett has bought a warehouse and has renovated it, somewhat, to become the new training facility for wannabe REBEL wrestlers. It's located in the college town of Durham, North Carolina. REBEL will hold a show once a month, in front of trainees and 200 plus fans, at the newly dubbed REBEL Underground.
Head instructor in charge of training is "Diamond" Derrick Steele, an accomplished trainer, and current REBEL Pro Superstar.
*REBEL has had to change venues for "Red, White and Bruised II", due to setbacks in the repair of the Tabernacle in Atlanta. REBEL will now hold the event at the Cobb County Civic Center in Marietta, Georgia.
*REBEL will present a two day tournament at the end of July, displaying the best of High Flyers in both REBEL and NAPW. "Aerial Assault" will take place July 28th and 29th, night one at the REBEL Underground, and night two at the REBEL Arena in Raleigh. Tickets on sale at the next REBEL Arena show in June. ``xEkEpyuVupVGQEgqqkp``x1210649005``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xREBEL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
NAPW-online's RYAN STEVENS previews REBEL's NAVAL ATTACK!``xMurcielago``xHello once again wrestling fans, this is Ryan Stevens, contributer to NAPW-online.com. Of course we are just over a week and a half away from NAPW's annual TAGSTRAVAGANZA event on the West Coast of Canada, but the buzz is all on REBEL Pro Wrestling after a wild and wooly event on the beautiful beaches of Virginia! Jake Phoenix retained his World Heavyweight championship against the young Nick Everhardt, but after the match the champ learned that he's not getting a break. The road to American Anarchy starts this Tuesday night in Norfolk Virginia, live from the Norfolk Naval Station, and what a card it is going to be!
Warren vs JASON We have only seen the silent monster known as JASON once in a REBEL Pro ring, and that was in the $10,000 Bunkhouse Stampede. Well fans, you saw what this writer saw, and that was DOMINANCE. JASON never left his feet and if it wasn't for a concerted effort by Ravager, Mr. Hollywood and Derrick Steele in the final four, he would have won the thing. It's time for this man to make his proper debut, and he will be squaring off against a man no stranger to monsters... the loveable slacker, Warren! The W-man wrestled Caliban on the very first REBEL Pro event, he wrestled with Mr. Berzerker. The kid is a former tag team champion and has a lot of guts, but he has also been bruised and abused. No offense to Warren, but somebody might want to get the burial plot ready after this one!
Nation of Innovation vs John X Core & Nick Everhardt What's up with the Nation of Innovation? They need to get on the same page, because last week their differing ideas of how to proceed as REBEL Pro superstars cost them the tag titles last week! Jeremy Daines succeeded in getting "New & Improved Censorship Rules" instituted, but it was Rodriguez who went "hardcore" and got his team disqualified, leaving the Nation arguing after the match. Daines has great dislike of the violent style that REBEL is known for.
On the other side is a team of up-and-coming fan favorites who are looking for their first major success. John X Core has shone in only a few matches. Nick Everhardt has come up just short in two different title matches. But you couldn't ask for a better pairing. Everhardt has the experience over X Core thanks to his time in Japan, but both are young, athletic, not yet in their prime, and above all hungry. If they can gel, and especially if Nation of Innovation cannot get on the same page. A win here would put either team into tag title contention, and both teams are desperate for wins. The only unknown is whether or not the "New & Improved Censorship Rules" will once again come into play.
AMERICAN ANARCHY FOUR WAY DANCE QUALIFIER Blood vs "Diamond" Derrick Steele Talk about an opportunity. Blood has been in REBEL Pro for two matches, and the dark enigma finds himself with a chance to earn a World title shot. Last week his cockiness perhaps got the better of him, as he chose to wrestle a handicap match. Which realistically was a singles match, since Galactix spent virtually the entire match on the apron. But Blood wanted a piece of "The Show" Chad Kurtis, REBEL's brightest star, and learned just why the people love The Show: he brings it every night.
Now Blood takes on another REBEL newcomer, but a man who has racked up the wins since arriving, winning both the $10,000 Bunkhouse Stampede AND defeating the legendary Stylin' Kyle Roberts to earn the #1 Contender's Trophy: Derrick Steele. The veteran immediately set the date for his title shot rather than risk losing his chance by losing the Cup (like Kyle did).
That all sets up a very intriguing match. Steele's title shot in late June at REBEL Underground is not in question. That one fact may give Blood, another veteran, an advantage. He has something to fight for - a spot in the Four Way Dance World Title match at American Anarchy 2008. However, Steele is a very proud man and isn't about to phone it in. And while Steele's title shot isn't on the line, should Steele win, he can pick any wrestler in the WORLD to compete in the Four Way Dance. Exactly who would Steele pick? One of his students? An NAPW wrestler? A former ally? This will be Blood's first legitimate singles match in REBEL. Steele is on a roll. They could not be more different. Blood wants his first win, and wants that shot at gold.
AMERICAN ANARCHY FOUR WAY DANCE QUALIFIER "The Devastator" Kurt Castle vs "The Show" Chad Kurtis Talk about history. In late 2007, Kurt Castle and Chad Kurtis had a bitter feud in New Alberta Pro Wrestling. Ever since Castle returned to wrestling in REBEL Pro, fans have wondered when he and Kurtis would tie up again. One post-match attack later...
"The Devastator" has an impressive record since coming to REBEL Pro, but he came up short in the biggest match he's been in, failing to defeat Stylin' Kyle Roberts in a #1 Contender's Trophy match. "The Show" is a two-time REBEL World Heavyweight Champion... but both reigns have been short. So when you factor in a shot at the World Title... each man's tremendous pride... and past history, this promises to be the most heated match on the card, with no holds barred! Castle has never forgotten Kurtis winning their feud over a year ago. He craves being top dog in REBEL Pro. The crowd will be firmly behind "The Show," will the support of the people propel him back into the World title picture?
REBEL WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Black Underground Railroad (C) vs James and Young After trading the tag titles back and forth to El Rey & Zeke, the BUR of Stone and Assman finally retained the belts last week. The crowd loves Assman - and by extension Stone - but do the champs have the ability to focus and continue to win? The fans also love Thomas Young & Jeff James, the former being one-half of the FIRST REBEL Pro Tag Team Champions. There is no bad blood between these two teams, it is all about the GOLD. Depending on which Assman shows up this week, the champs could have the advantage or they could be fighting an uphill battle. James & Young are talented, driven and dedicated... they are not going to let this shot pass them by.
STEEL CAGE SUBMISSION MATCH REBEL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP "Murder City Devil" Jake Phoenix (C) VS "The Technical Terror" Lloyd Rees A lot of REBEL Pro fans (and wrestlers) were not happy with the way Jake Phoenix walked in the door, was given a title shot, and won the thing. But over the past two months, something has changed. Phoenix has now defended the title three times against tough competition. What's more, some of the crowd have actually started cheering the champion.
Enter Lloyd Rees. The most decorated man in NAPW history. Rees came in, like Jake, for one match. And in that match, he defeated Stylin' Kyle Roberts to earn a shot at the REBEL World Heavyweight title. What's more, Rees was given the choice of stipulation. His choice? A steel cage with a roof on it... to keep both wrestlers in for a submission match. Rees is bringing some MMA to REBEL Pro.
For the first time EVER in either REBEL or NAPW, Jake Phoenix is the underdog. Phoenix has NO submissions in his arsenal. He cannot win simply by knocking Rees out, Rees must tap out or give up in a hold. Phoenix can't take it to the floor. And while Rees had the past two weeks to rest up, Jake had a hard title defense against Nick Everhardt just days ago. This will be the stiffest challenge of Jake Phoenix's entire NAPW/REBEL tenure, second only to his wars with Ravager. Can Jake Phoenix surprise the wrestling world and retain in a match clearly designed to favor the challenger? But let's not count the man out. Phoenix has the size, power and sheer dick-headness as advantages. If he can catch Rees with enough of his soupbones, LDK will be tenderized enough to apply a submission.
If Phoenix knows any.
The Future *Whether it's Rees or Phoenix, the champion will follow up this cage match with a Four Way Dance title defense at American Anarchy II, and should he get past that, he gets Derrick Steele at REBEL Underground in June. It is harder then ever to hold onto the REBEL World Heavyweight Title!
*What is next for Stylin' Kyle Roberts? Well, a Four Way Dance qualifier against El Rey de Corizones. Problem is, Roberts is on a tremendous losing streak, winning only one match in his last eight. Can he turn it around with a shot at the gold on the line? If he can't, how does that impact Roberts' state of mind?
*Manny X and Mikey Massacre are not done. They will compete in the first-ever in REBEL AMBULANCE MATCH next month! They both needed ambulances after the TaiPei Deathmatch! The Carolinas Title will be on the line if Massacre retains against Cuzin Zeke at REBEL Underground this May.
That's my take. I'm Ryan Stevens, and enjoy REBEL PRO WRESTLING!``xEkEpyuuyZuOuGwbnYl``x1210648274``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.rebel-pro.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xREBEL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

``xThe Regional Finals for the 2008 TEAM Invitational Tournament are set after rousing action in the Sweet Sixteen. The final eight competitors will do battle to decide who shall make it to the tournament semifinals at SuperShow VIII, which will be headlined by Nova defending his Championship of Champions against SCCW Universal Champion Jonathan Rhine.
In the match of the night, Mike Randalls, Orlando's top seed in search of his first major tournament or World Championship in ten years, scored a thrilling victory over PRIME Intense Champion Dusk. Randalls, in trouble near the end of the match, worked Dusk's left leg early, making him unable to use it as his plant leg for his Lights Out superkick. Randalls took advantage with his Santa Fe Cloverleaf, which caused Dusk to tap out to save his own leg.
Only one other number one seed made it out alive, and it was Los Angeles' "Triple X" Sean Stevens, who scored a relatively easy win over the lowest seed remaining, the twelfth seeded MDK. However, in two huge upsets, London's one seed Lindsay Troy, the current PTC Unified Champion, and Minneapolis' one, the defending Merritt Trophy Champion and current holder of no fewer than four World Championships Dan Ryan, fell in their matches. Troy bowed out against fourth-seeded Jonathan Marx at the O2 Arena after a piledriver, and Ryan lost to fourth-seeded Troy Douglas after an incident with the infamous American Idol Flying Squirrel (don't ask).
In other results, second-seeded Chip Friendly upended Bryan Storms in the Orlando region. Second-seeded Ravager scored a flash pinfall against third-seeded Larry Tact in London after reversing Tact's inside cradle into one of his own. Minneapolis' sixth seed Fusenshoff continued his TiT success, defeating the former NAPW Champion and second-seeded Donovan Astros, and in Los Angeles, the seventh-seeded Olvir Arsvinnar caved in Kyle Roberts' chest and moved onto a date with Sean Stevens.
The winners of each of these Regional Finals will face off at SuperShow VIII: Final Four '08 at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, GA. The winner of the London region will battle the Los Angeles Champion, and the winners of Minneapolis and Orlando will square off. The main event will see Nova defend his Championship of Champions against Jonathan Rhine of Sin City Championship Wrestling. Rhine is a multiple-time Universal Champion, and holds victories over Clinton Sage among others. The FREE FOR ALL~! and Lethal Lottery Championships will definitely be defended at the eighth supercard as well. As for the Challenge Championship, that is pending Ravager's performance against Marx in the London finals.``xMultiple Locations``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xTEAM``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x05.06.2008``xhttp://fwrestling.com/fwc/showthread.php?t=17717``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

After brawling around the building they took a nasty spill from the balcony!
Stone Zellor d. Modo WHOA! in a short, vicious squash with the Scar submission hold.
Chris Kamikaze & Stein d. Dez Carter & King Koji when Kamikaze got a surprise roll-up on Koji. After the match, King Koji attempted to attack his partner, only to eat a GO2SLEEP from Dez Carter! Carter shook hands with Stein and Kamikaze before leaving the ring.
"LDK" Lloyd Rees destroyed Teddy Davis and tapped him out with the Conception Bay Chinlock in a submission match. Post-match, Rees told the crowd he would take his World Title shot May 27th at "Fracas on 4th Ave."
"Bluegrass Badass" Matthew Kurtis pinned "Bad Boy" Joey Malone in a Bluegrass Strap match following a Bluegrass Bomb, ending the months long feud in decisive fashion. By virtue of the loss, Joey Malone is once again the NAPW Extreme Jobber champion!
Ravager beat Jake Phoenix and earning his way back into NAPW! If Ravager had lost, he would have been banned from NAPW events forever - even as a fan. Phoenix seemed to have Ravager's number once again, but The Last Resort was able to reverse the Tombstone into the Kata-Hajime. The referee called the match when Phoenix was unable to respond to his voice!
Mystic Exposition defeated Southern Destruction to FINALLY retain the NAPW Tag Team titles! SD laid out MyEx after the match, showing that this feud is not over.
D! pinned "The Falcon" Jacob Venar following a brutal Nyquil SPIKE. Venar's history of head injures worked against him. Post-match, D! tied Venar in the ropes and was set to assault the helpless man, when Trent Daniels came in for the save! Unfortunately, D! attacked Daniels' injured ribs and Spiked him as well, leaving two broken bodies in his wake.
"The Show" Chad Kurtis defeated Prince W. Darko in a FINISHER MATCH. Darko attempted to use Kurtis' own CK Finale (Canadian Destroyer) on him, and his arrogance cost him as Kurtis was able to reverse and hit his patented version of the move for the three-count.
"The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan defeated Bruce "The Beast" Richards with the Humility Bomb to retain the NAPW World Title.

TEAM Invitational Sweet Sixteen Set``xJ_A``xThe Sweet Sixteen for the 2008 TEAM Invitational Tournament is set after a rousing second round. The action moves from college campuses to the four regional final sites: London, Orlando, Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
All four number one seeds - Lindsay Troy, Faceless; who revealed himself as Mike Randalls, Dan Ryan and "Triple X" Sean Stevens - advanced, Troy being the only one that had to break a sweat in her second round affair against Ace Mason, a quarterfinalist from last year. Randalls, Ryan and Stevens all won laughers, Stevens especially whose opponent, heated rival Ice Tre, couldn't even show up to the arena.
The match of the night, however, was the affair in Burlington, Vermont, between London's second seed Ravager and the seventh seed Cameron Cruise. Cruise seized control of the match early, but the current TEAM Challenge Champion staged a furious comeback, culminating in his escape from Cruise's Emerald Fusion attempt into a vicious brainbuster.
Fusenshoff also made a return trip to the regional semifinals with a win over High Flyer. In a back-and-forth match, Flyer was about to deliver the finishing blow via a flying body press, but Fuse evaded the attack at the last possible second and scored a pinfall victory.
The full slate for the Sweet Sixteen is as follows:
London (1) Lindsay Troy vs. (4) Jonathan Marx (2) Ravager vs. (3) Larry Tact
Orlando (1) Mike Randalls vs. (4) Dusk (2) Chip Friendly vs. (6) Bryan Storms
Minneapolis (1) Dan Ryan vs. (4) Troy Douglas (2) Donovan Astros vs. (6) Fusenshoff
Los Angeles (1) Sean Stevens vs. (12) MDK (7) Olvir Arsvinnar vs. (3) Stylin' Kyle Roberts
In a related note, TEAM officials are investigating the appearance of a flying squirrel wearing an American Idol mini-tee that interfered after the finishes of both Tact/Frankie Scott and Astros/MaX-Files. Scott, also known as the American Idol, has denied involvement, and several leads have linked the squirrel to Ryan Seacrest. More on this as it develops.``xEkpluFyFZkiAUrysfs``x1208439972``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/fwc/showthread.php?t=17619``xMike Randalls, Lindsay Troy and Dan Ryan headline regional semifinal slate``x``xteam88x31.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x17629``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xTEAM``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

IWL Talent Initiative Pulls Through``xretched``xWhen it was announced on EWZine and several other news publications that IWL was launching a talent initiative, many in the industry sighed and moaned loudly. "Oh great they're pulling a WWE move," they said. Well that is the case here, BUT in many aspects it's not so much the same. IWL doesn't have a farm fed or a developmental territory to go to when it's needs talent. When the IWL roster needs some fresh blood, they go to the source... the wrestlers themselves. IWL scouts and talent agents went across the United States and even into some parts of other countries and universes to try and get people to complete the void in the IWL roster. After much work and struggle, and problems with translators of all kinds, the IWL talent relations department is proud to announce it's recent set of additions to the IWL roster, and backstage crew. (Editor's Note: Didn't see that last one coming did ya?)
Firstly there's Marcus Gratton, the son of professional wrestling legend Eddie LeClair. Marcus has worked up a name for himself in other organizations up to this point in his wrestling career. Will he be able to recover his hot streak after taking such an assault in his later promotion?
Next, there's 'The San Francisco Treat' Michael Platt. Michael Platt worked his way up through several different promotions out in the West (or so at least he hopes), he makes his way into the IWL trying to make a name for himself here.
Thirdly, welcome TBone Walls into the IWL. TBone is a former state trooper for Charlotte, North Carolina who got into wrestling for all the fame, fortune, and championship gold there.
Next, we welcome Jones O'Laughlin to the IWL. Jones had traveled from promotion to promotion under the training of IWL World Television Champ The Nightmare. After a brief hiatus, Jones follows his mentor and tutor for several years right into the IWL.
Next welcome 'The Iceman' Dean Jones, not to be confused with IWL Hall of Famer 'The Icemann' Luis Malave. Another who has worked for several promotions earning championship gold. This Australian born wrestler looks to gain a lot more, in the IWL.
And finally, on the roster side of things, welcome Chris Childs. After working for the big guys up in the northeast, Chris Childs takes things back to the basics when he signs up and wrestles, for the IWL.
Please welcome all six of these great athletes into the Internet Wrestling League and the IWL roster of wrestlers.
BUT WAIT, there's more! In addition to signing six potentially great talents to the Internet Wrestling League via the Talent Initiative, the Talent Initiative also scored one backstage interviewer for the IWL OverDrive and Pay-Per-View events in Britney Leigh. Britney worked for several promotions earning several world championships and various honors including GCW's "Woman of the Year" and "Manager of the Year". Bringing both attitude and sexiness to whatever she does, posing for FHM and Stuff magazines and several movie credits to her name, the question isn't is she ready for the IWL, the question is the IWL ready for Britney Leigh? Only time will tell.
Look for these wrestlers, and interviewer, to make their debut in the OverDrive's to come. The question now is with the IWL Talent Initiative in full swing, who will the IWL sign (or re-sign) next?``xEkpZVEFuyZSlDQdBrE``x1207517067``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://iwl.iwle.com``xLast week as announced on EWZine, the IWL planned on starting a Talent Initiative in the IWL's attempt to continue to bring you the most entertaining form of wrestling possible.

NAPW Post-SoleSur news & notes``xnapw``xMURDERER'S ROW
It has never been easy to be NAPW World Champion, but April will see the champion run the "MURDERER'S ROW." There are several men with claims to the title and NAPW management feels that not one of them should wait any longer than necessary to get their shot. The World Title will be defended THREE times in the month of may on consecutive shows! "The Show" Chad Kurtis has pinfall wins over both KRENSHOV and current champion "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan over the past several months. Finally, The Show gets his shot at the big picture because of those wins, when he will challenge Dan Ryan for the World Title at the 4/15 Supershow in Raleigh!
Next up... although Dan Ryan defeated KRENSHOV in clean fashion to win the title at Sole Survivor, some people feel that Eli Potts may have taken the victory and title retention away from Krenshov when he interefered earlier in the match. This minor controversy as well as the tremendous contest Ryan and Krenshov did indeed have get the "Untouchable" one more shot. KRENSHOV will challenge whomever is the World Champion at 4/22's "UNTOUCHABLE" event in Calgary!
And finally, at the end of this row of extreme challenges, is a man who has been owed a title rematch for months. Whether it is KRENSHOV, "The Show" Chad Kurtis or "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan wearing the World Title around their waists, on 4/28 at "BINGO TANGO!!" that man will defend the World Title against BRUCE "THE BEAST" RICHARDS!
There is no telling who will be wearing the NAPW World Title at the end of April. Kurtis. Ryan. KRENSHOV. Richards. Any one of these four men is a worthy NAPW World Champion. But they will have to get through... "MURDERER'S ROW" to be THE MAN at the end of April 2008!
NAPW SUPERSHOW MATCHES
Also signed for the NAPW/REBEL 4/15 Supershow... Southern Destruction will finally get their hands on Sexy Adorable Drunks in a SUPERSTAR RULES tag team match! In singles action, "Bad Boy" Joey Malone will square off against arch-rival "Bluegrass Badass" Matthew Kurtis. Finally, there will be a $10,000 OPEN INVITATIONAL BUNKHOUSE STAMPEDE held. This is open to any REBEL or NAPW wrestler... this is a come-as-you-are NO DQ over-the-top-rope Battle Royale. With $10,000 on the line, who knows who will show up? Tag Team Champs!
With their win at Sole Survivor, Mystic Exposition became FOUR-time tag team champions - only one title reign away from D-X's record of FIVE. However, MyEx have been dogged by the tag of "chokers," as in their past three reigns they lost the titles on their first defense, every time. No doubt fans and management will be watching to see if Mystic Exposition can break that curse when they defend their titles at 4/28 BINGO TANGO!! against the top contenders, who will be determined on the events leading up to that event. Post-Sole Survivor news & notes
-NAPW-online can confirm that D! has signed a new NAPW contract. We have no further details at this time. What does the return of D! mean for New Alberta Pro? In related news, Jacob Venar has demanded a match with D! in April. Will he receive it? -Sole Survivor winner "LDK" Lloyd Rees has not requested a date for his World Title shot, but many speculate that he will receive it in May. There is no telling who will be World Champion until after April at any rate!
-There were no serious injuries from Sole Survivor. Trent Daniels, Tommy Deathrow, Jacob Venar and Mystic Exposition were all banged up but nothing a couple weeks of ice and rest won't solve. And in STD's case, copious amounts of vodka.
-King Koji has also returned to NAPW rings. The man from Kyoto, Japan will make his singles re-debut at 4/22 against Dez Carter!``xEkpyyukuZyMZfYGBGF``x1206646076``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``xNews on the World & Tag Team titles.

KRENSHOV to win the NAPW World Title. The match was marked by Krenshov's former manager, Eli Potts, proving himself perfectly fit and not crippled as he has been portraying. Krenshov took Potts out at last. Ryan and Krenshov gave a show of respect before continuing to beat the hell out of one another. The champion seemed poised to retain, set to deliver Total Eclipse, but his injured knee gave out on him. A monsterous Humility Bomb gave Dan Ryan the title.
Mystic Exposition d. Sexy Adorable Drunks to win the NAPW Tag Team Championship for the fourth time. This was a 2/3 falls special stip match. The first fall was normal rules. KKP took one punch and allowed Expositioner to pin him, moving the match immediately to the No DQ no Count-out Superstar rules. Weapons and clowns were involved, SAD scoring the fall after the Hangover finisher. The third fall was a LADDER match full of breathtaking moves and all four men putting their bodies on the line for the tag titles. Deathrow was sent flying from the top of the ladder through four tables outside the ring, and KKP was unable to prevent Mystic Ninja from securing the titles. MyEx finally defeat SAD!
"LDK" Lloyd Rees vs Chris Casino went to a 30 minute draw. This could very well be the NAPW Match Of The Year! Two of the most decorated men in NAPW history and the only two Grand Slam champions went at it hold for hold, trick for trick in a tremendous contest. Their hatred for one another was palpable. Neither man could score a fall in the 30 minute time limit. The fans demanded five more minutes. Commissioner Terry Brandon said okay, but Casino refused to wrestle more, saying that he had been paid "for one match" and walked out. Brandon then decided that LDK's stipulation of receiving "five minutes with Ol' Salty," his former manager who brought Casino back to take out LDK, would stand! LDK threatened Ol' Salty, who wet himself, but ultimately decided he wasn't worth it, telling Salty to never come back to NAPW.
The 30 man Sole Survivor match was full of surprises, shocks and stories. Jacob Venar started #1 and lasted until just after #30 entered. The Beast cleaned house but was shocking eliminated by a returning KING KOJI. The WGA eliminated the big Matt Kurtis. Ravager returned to a tremendous ovation. Chris Casino attacked JC Cook on his way to the ring and stole his spot. Predator made an appearance.
But most shocking of all. #30 saw the return of D!, not seen or heard from in almost two years. D! broke Dez Carter's nose, eliminated Jacob Venar after the kid's gutsy performance, and shocked everybody in the ring including long-time rival Ravager.
The final eight was anybody's game. Ravager. Jake Phoenix. Chris Casino. Lloyd Rees. D!. Stone Zellor. Heritage Champion Trent Daniels. Tommy Deathrow. Ravager eliminated his hated enemy Phoenix, only to be dumped by D!. D! was then eliminated by Trent Daniels! An enraged D! returned to the ring with a chair and destroyed Trent, leaving him easy pickings for Stone Zellor to throw out.
Stone and Casino formed an alliance to eliminate Rees, but Casino turned on Stone, giving Rees an opportunity to dump the record-breaking former Heritage champion. In a redux of the amazing contest earlier in the evening, Casino and Rees squared off once again. This time, Rees was able to upend his arch-rival, eliminating Casino to cap off a legendary performance on this evening, becoming only the third man to win Sole Survivor ... and receive a World Title shot.

First Quarter Round-Up``xNFW``xThey've done it without the use of a fully functional central website. They've done it without spending millions out of their budget on advertisement and promotions.
Simply put, New Frontier Wrestling is once again redefined as the underground and global standard in the same breadth. A worldwide revolution with the heart of a young independent spirit.
Was it the FCC that cleaned up NFW?
No. NFW made deals with DirecTV and Sirius, while stepping into the Howard Stern shoes of sports entertainment. You won't see Crash LIVE at 5PM, but who has enough beer in them anyway?
Nova versus Yori closed the books on the decade in terms of INSANE matches. Out of the trippy haze of the Ultratitle Seasons, NFW took it upon themselves to walk out with a swagger in 2008.
The second leg of Wrestlestock 2 will be remembered as Dan Ryan's ascent to the hallowed halls of New Frontier Wrestling. At SUPERCrash I: Coronation, NFW crowned new champions and themselves the leaders of a revolution to wrestling fans.
Through two channels of communication, their own TV and Radio networks they released a schedule and two memorable house shows now lead us to the explosive Crash .44 Magnum Wrestling Revolution Summit.
The onus has been put on the locker room to live up to who they represent from around the world. Dan Ryan, Teresa Q, Joe the Plumber, The Hollywood Wrecking Crew. The champions crowned at SUPERCrash I show the diversity of the wrestling industry as well as its current state of excellence.
Wrestlestock 2 promises a hyped main event of Dan Ryan versus Nova. The greatest World Champion of more than even the New Frontier versus the man that ruled PRIME and the Sophomore Two Season of the Ultratitle in NFW. It will not be the first time they stand across the ring from each other, but it will be the most SIGNIFICANT.
But with wrestlers like Rook Black, Professor Tremendous, Brock Alyas, Cameron Cruise making headway against newcomers like The Dream Team, Impulse or Lord Coyner Pollard...even those coronated will have to be wary.
Especially, when certain letters are still burning randomly in the locker room...
Inside the NFW Locker Room
We caught up with various NFW wrestlers on the road and after shows during the Northwest jaunt of the Wrestlestock 2 Tour...
The Dream Team isn't satisfied with just beating down on the PowerGodz (ED Note: 3/17 NFW Brawl), however. After the match, we got a hold of Mike Gordey, still covered in glass, and he was P-I-S-S-E-D.
"I think we made it clear that the only contenders for the EMT are the Dream Team, even is it is total bull**** that we're not already champs. You can bet your ass that at Crash 44 the Dream Team's gonna make somebody else pay. Blaine Hollywood, Malik Anderson, I think it's officially time for you boys to be worried as hell!"
When asked about the "briefcase blowup" at the NFW St. Patrick's Day Great American Potato War, Impulse grinned and stated "That's just the way the game is played, right?"
Craig Miles has remained tight-lipped about how the masked wrestler came into getting a job, but Miles seemed to like the fact he made it to Missoula, Montana of all places.
"I'm not going to spend 700 grand on some flaky headcase that needs to sell a match with 15 minute short films about dealing with the mafia or vampire beasts opening portals of time. This kid likes to wrestle, he doesn't care who he faces...and sh*t, he showed up in f*cking Montana. That shows FAITH in the Revolution."
Impulse is 0-2 in NFW so far, but has a chance when taking on one of the best wrestlers of this decade in Rook Black, who came within inches of defeating Teresa Quaranta in the National Championship Finals at SUPERCrash I.
There have been rumors of Legion wanting to get Teresa to apologize for accusations towards Sickness, which have included getting a title shot at Wrestlestock 2. Instead, it seems like the regime has allowed them both access to Crash .44 Magnum. With Sean Stevens getting put on the Inactive list, the National Championship situation is almost as strange as the relationships its spawned.
Brock Alyas hasn't been the most pleasant person even with recent success in NFW. NFW Brawl interns were trying to get something for a Sirius Spot and he grabbed one of them, looking wild-eyed...
"The NFW is just beginning to meet who the **** Alyas is. Two morons tried stepping in his way and we both witnessed what happened to those idiots - THEY BECAME MORPHINE ADDICTS! The world of NFW has only seen the beginning of an era of destruction in which I am going to lead. Fans are guaranteed to see some broken necks in the NEAR future..."
Brock then smashed their recording equipment and stomped away. Alyas has looked impressive in the ring, but some insiders feel that he may be more trouble outside of the ring than he's worth inside it. Craig Miles assured us that he'd be the least issue with the characters running around NFW in the first place.

Killing of the King: Part Five``xChad``xKiss me, it’ll heal, but it won’t forget
At NFW Crashmas 2004, far from the lights and media of Greensboro, two mysteries were shockingly solved, as El Toro was unmasked to reveal the part – owner, the PROFESSIONAL, ‘Cocky’ Craig Miles, and the Highwayman unmasked himself to reveal Troy Windham. Conflict and strife that stretched as far back as 1992 were suddenly thrust to the forefront of the professional wrestling world as never before. Troy had apparently lost any sense of humility that he seemed to gain when he was wheeled out of the Cage, and he was as ready as ever to make yet another mark on the world of professional wrestling.
What he hadn’t counted on was the fact that, in the year prior, Craig Miles had renewed his friendship with ‘Poison’ Ivy McGinnis, and McGinnis had become one of his few confidants. Miles would invite McGinnis, Eli, and Eli’s wife, rock, goth, and blues singer Angel of Valerian’s Garden, to WRESTLEBOWL, the crowning night of the first Ultratitle season. It is still unknown what Miles hoped to achieve that night, but rumor is that he placed the responsibility for Troy’s actions on Eli’s head. Instead of teaching Troy humility, Miles would imply that the fact that Troy survived Eli’s onslaught had simply taught the Epitome that he could overcome anything, and he began to act accordingly.
Miles would lay an offer to Eli on the spot, against the advice of fellow legend Tom Adler and fellow former ClaimStaker Mike Randalls, to both be a part of NFW Ultratitle Season 2, and resolve the unfinished business with Troy. The details are still confidential, other than the brawl that took place in the ring just before the Ultratitle finals between Shane Southern and Michael Manson, and a single line that Ivy McGinnis spoke into her telephone during the backstage meeting.
“He knows what has to be done,” Ivy had said.
But Troy was distracted. His obligations as Unified World Champion left his time in the NFW Season 2 limited, and he was barely able to fulfill his part in the season. Indeed, the rapid build of the Wrestle Stock pay – per – view event that was scheduled to be headlined by “Eli vs. Troy, the Final Chapter” seemed lackluster until the final weeks.
WrestleStock was the NFW’s answer to the link other ‘Extreme’ sports had with nu – punk and speed metal. Miles’ intention was to have a full tour through California, with the crowning peak to be an outdoors pay – per – view event with a live band and the best wrestling anywhere in the world.
For music, Miles went to Valerian’s Garden. He knew the band through Eli and Ivy, and knew they could do what he wanted in the musical sense. Angel would later say that they were hired to play two dates, and ended up staying for a month, jamming on the beach at all hours of the day. Regardless, Wrestle Stock was all about the wrestling and the music, until the show before the pay – per – view. In the final moments of the main event that saw Eli Flair exact a measure of revenge on ‘Kodiak’ Vic Creed for Creed’s domination of their fWo World Championship match three years earlier, an explosion rocked the night sky.
Troy Windham had set the Valerian’s Garden bus on fire with two band members still inside.
It had been personal before, but now it was a family affair.
As if contrasted to the fire on the bus, the WrestleStock pay – per – view saw a torrential downpour that threatened the safety of the band and the wrestlers. Any other company would have cancelled, but NFW was always about pushing the envelope, and the show went off without a hitch.
In the main event, Eli Flair would finally gain the submission victory from Troy Windham that was denied him five years earlier, but it seemed a hollow victory, quickly overshadowed by Miles’ announcement regarding the Ultratitle playoffs. The match itself would quickly prove to mean nothing in the grand scheme of their feud, as Eli would reach the final match of the NFW West before losing another war to eventual Ultratitle 2.0 winner Nova, and Troy would return to the CSWA with his biggest challenge in his sights.``xEkpyEkuyppxSWYCHnH``x1206128200``xfeature``x53481091834249``x``x``x

Newswire 3.20.2008``xnapw``x-Last night at the PURE DYNAMITE event NAPW was rocked to its core! The two biggest pieces of news are a departure... and a return! -Donovan Astros has been released from his NAPW contract. Management had no choice after he ruined last nights main event, coupled with his recent behavior, to terminate him effective immediately. All moneys he was owed have been given to the Intern Pete College & Wellness Fund. Astros forfeited the remainded of his contract money to pay for his many fines as well as due to the nature of his termination.
-RAVAGER, who was retired from NAPW by Jake Phoenix last December, signed an open Sole Survivor contract. This does NOT mean Ravager is back in NAPW, but through the loophole, he will participate in Sole Survivor. That makes this a must-win for Ravager. If he wins the match and title shot, he will wrestle again in NAPW. If he does not, this may be a one-time only occurence. Jake Phoenix is reported as being... unhappy with even a one-night return. To say the least.
-Matthew Kurtis has been fined for laying his hands on the referee.
-The Workers Guild of Alberta are all alright. Bruised and in pain, but no serious injuries as a result of their beating at the hands of Matthew Kurtis and his new goons, the returning Grade "A" Alberta Attitude.
-Ian Smith, on behalf of his client "The Show" Chad Kurtis, has inundated NAPW offices with phone calls, text messages, e-mails and carrier pigeons demanding a title shot for "The Show." Kurtis has wins over current champion KRENSHOV and the #1 contender Dan Ryan in the past few months, he certainly has an argument...
-"LDK" Lloyd Rees and Chris Casino will tangle one more time, at Sole Survivor it will be the only two Grand Slam champions in NAPW history squaring off one-on-one! You don't want to miss this match, folks. It will be a classic between two very proud men who hate each other very much.
-If you have not already, read the results for "Pure Dynamite."

NAPW Sole Survivor Odds``xnapw``xSole Survivor Vegas Odds By Scotty Slammy
Sole Survivor has come to be known as the biggest event on the NAPW calendar. It is a unique match. A 30-man Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royale with staggered entrances, a new wrestler entering every two minutes. Two men enter and luck of the draw determines the next wrestler out. Order of entrance can have a huge impact on a wrestler's chances - an early entrance proves an uphill battle all night long, a late entrance means you come in fresh near the end of what is guaranteed to be a sixty-minute match.
This year, Sole Survivor appears to be wide open, and NAPW-online's very own Scotty Slammy brings you all the info you need to conduct your illegal gambling at Jack Attack's bookie emporium.
Ravager: 5 - 1 Ravager NEEDS this win. Bad. More over, he's a workhorse. He could come in early and still carry the match. He has the skill, the endurance, the drive AND the motivation. That makes Ravager the man to beat... but it also makes him a very tantalizing target.
"The Show" Chad Kurtis: 8 - 1 In the NAPW, The Show has been on a roll lately. Some huge wins over Dan Ryan and KRENSHOV have really put him on the fast track, and I wager he'll soon be in the title picture with or without a Sole Survivor win. That said, he could very well take this home as some collateral. In the ring, Chad's got raw talent and the versatility to handle multiple opponents. He might get overwhelmed if he comes in early, but if he comes in late, it could be The Show's night.
"Bluegrass Badass" Matthew Kurtis: 10 - 1 Matt Kurtis has one HUGE advantage over the competition. He's one of the biggest damn men in the NAPW, and in a competition where you have to be thrown over the top rope that one of the BIGGEST advantages. That said, Matt's got few friends in this match, and many enemies. If he gets isolated by the WGA... well, even gnats can kill you if there's enough of them.
Jake Phoenix: 2 - 1 Who hates Jake Phoenix, you ask. The answer, it turns out, is everyone. Jake has no friends going into this match, and everyone knows that he's a favourite to win. The problem, you see, is that he's a favourite for a REASON. Phoenix is a monster, a powerhouse. If he gets lucky and comes in late in the match, I daresay that he probably couldn't lose it. If he comes in earlier, he's going to be targeted again and again, and he'll find himself spread too thin.
Stone Zellor: 15 - 1 Stone is coming off a devastating loss. Though skillful, and armed with the kind of endurance to last in a long match, Stone's mind won't be in the game. He'll be on the lookout for Trent Daniels, and no one else. If he can get that elimination, he might just get back into things, but that's a long shot.
Thomas Deathrow: 20 - 1 SUPERSTAR Tommy Deathrow is a hard hitter, and a reckless wrestler. Does he have the stamina to last in a battle royal situation, though? Moreover, he's a tag team specialist. Deathrow has throughout his NAPW career, been almost exclusively in the tag team division. Unless you manage to get lucky, and have your partner in the ring with you, you're on your own in this kind of match. History sets a bad precedent for Tommy Deathrow in the Sole Survivor match. He'll definitely be fighting to overcome the odds.
Krusty Kid Paul: 15 - 1 KKP is in the same boat as his tag team partner. An almost dedicated tag team wrestler with a reckless streak, he's going to have an uphill battle through Sole Survivor. That said, KKP also holds a record for the most eliminations in a battle royal in the NAPW. That certainly shows he's got potential, but will it be enough to win the whole thing?
Teddy Davis: 12 - 1 A technician with a pretty big ego, Teddy Davis is going into this match with a lot to prove, and the potential to prove it. As an added bonus, he's got a friend in the match to watch his back. However he's just come off of a pretty terrible loss that tripped up the debut of his tag team. That may have killed some of his momentum going into this match up. Still, Teddy might surprise everyone and go the distance.
David Gage: 12 - 1 Another technician with a pretty big ego. Another wrestler with someone watching his back. Another person who just had his momentum shot by an unexpected loss. But that's a tag team match. David Gage is a solid wrestler, and had a very real chance of winning this if his head is in the game. He just has to be able to beat not only the odds-on favourites... but his brand new tag team partner.
Dez Carter: 8 - 1 Wow, Dez has some good odds! Why is that? Because he very nearly went the distance last year, and that kind of thing affects the odds! He's got a good head on his shoulders, and experience lasting in the Sole Survivor match. If he keeps his wits about him, he might just be able to surprise everyone this year, and take home the win.
Bruce "The Beast" Richards: 3 - 1 The Beast is in better shape right now than he has been in years, and with the monkey that is Donovan Astros off his back, he can focus on getting the NAPW World Title back. After two rather dismal showings in Sole Survivor in the past two years, Richards is in a prime spot to make an impact now. If he can overcome Phoenix and Ravager... no one will stop him from winning this match.
Stein: 6 - 1 There's something not quite right about Stein. But who knows? Unusual might be just the edge you need. Stein almost eliminated D! in the first Sole Survivor match, and in 2006, D! was the man to beat. This year, Jake Phoenix, Bruce Richards and Ravager are the men to beat. Maybe Stein can.
"The Falcon" Jacob Venar: 20 - 1 This morning, The Falcon had 10 - 1 odds. Then he asked for the #1 spot in the match. Coming off a concussion, angry about losing a shot at the Heritage Title, and known for being a risk-taker in a match where risks can spell defeat... Venar is really spreading himself thin. He has a long match ahead, and he's not in the best shape. But he's got a lot of guts, and the desire to prove himself. Who knows? The Falcon is definitely my Dark Horse pick to win it.
"LDK" Lloyd Rees: 18 - 1 I'd normally give LDK better odds, say 6 - 1, but he's got a gruelling match against Chris Casino before he ever sets foot into Sole Survivor. Every minute that his match against Casino lasts is a minute of stamina lost going into Sole Survivor. Rees is in for a long night. I CAN say that I see Rees winning a Sole Survivor match one day... but I don't think 2008 is his year.
Trent Daniels: 8 - 1 Hello brand new Heritage Champion! Daniels has all the momentum in the world coming into Sole Survivor, and just proved himself in a match filled to the brim with excellent wrestlers. If he can keep himself focused on the goal, he might just win a shot at putting a second belt around his waist this year.
The Expositioner: 25 - 1 Nothing against Expo, but he's a tag team specialist in a match where there can be only one. Coupled with a rough match against the SAD earlier in the night - a team that nearly ended his career - and Expositioner really doesn't seem to have much of a chance. Best of luck, though.
Mystic Ninja: 15 - 1 And yet, Mystic Ninja has better odds. He holds an impressive win over the former NAPW World Champion, and very nearly won himself the title in recent months. Ninja is on the road to success in the NAPW, and Sole Survivor might be the stepping stone into another World Title match. Still, a match against a rough team like SAD earlier in the night kills a LOT of Mystic Ninja's strength going into this thing.
"Hard Hittin'" Hank Henderson AND "The Dynasty" Dan Miller: 18 - 1 I keep saying it, but it's the truth. Tag team specialists have a disadvantage going into a battle royal situation. You can't guarantee that your partner will be there, and eventually you have to face the fact that you'll have to eliminate them. Southern Destruction has quite a hurdle to overcome if either of them wants to win it, but if they want it THAT BAD... maybe one of them can step up and claim the win.
"Bad Boy" Joey Malone: 30 - 1 If there's one thing Joey Malone is good at, it's blowing it. No miracle here folks.
Chris Kamikaze: 30 - 1 Will eliminate himself with a botch if he isn't lawn darted into the third row by Matt Kurtis.
Big Mitch: 28 - 1 Has only slightly better odds than the rest of the WGA because he's so damn FAT.
Esteban: 30 - 1 HA HA HA HA. Yeah.
"The Moose" Mark Millar: 22 - 1 Moose has some power, a mean streak, and a history with the NAPW that includes some impressive matches. He's been out of the ring for quite some time, but stranger things have happened. Having allies in Matt Kurtis and Wayne Wright definitely helps.
Wayne Wright: 28 - 1 I actually think Joey Malone has a better NAPW record than Wayne... but Wayne's new attitude and friends give him a little bit of an edge. Still... I don't think there's any miracle here. Wright's in over his head, and short of the Moose saving him again and again, he's petty much hopeless.
EXTRA SPECIAL GUESSING GAME! Who will be the five mystery entrants?
1. DONOVAN ASTROS Why quit the NAPW so abruptly? So that he can sign one of those juicy open contracts, enter the Sole Survivor match, and win a shot at the title he just lost from KRENSHOV, circumventing his suspension, of course! It's really quite brilliant, and kudos for Donovan Astros for coming up with it. Shame I figured it out.
2. CALIBAN This guy pops up year after year and never wins the damn thing. Still tends to wreck everyone up pretty bad, though. Be on the lookout.
3. THE PLAGUE What would a Sole Survivor match be without a huge and surprising come back? Ravager will die a little inside seeing Plague coming to the ring. Would certainly be the Holy Shit moment of the match.
4. CHRIS CASINO Is Casino planning on sticking around? If he is he'll likely sneak into the match somehow. My guess is he beats the shit out of Nightmare, who was the real 4th mystery entrant, and takes his spot. Because Casino's a jerk, duh.

Paul Williams addresses 'Masked Man'``xretched``xNEW YORK, NY. More than one week after the IWL aired it's return to pay-per-per view spectacle, Return to Glory, one main question was left open... Who's the champion?
"With regards to the IWL World Championship match at Return to Glory, since neither Rodney Phoenix nor Crazy Boy pulled the championship down and since the match was called to an end, the title remains Crazy Boy's," quoted Paul Williams in the press statement released to EWZine, RK News, and IWLe.com this afternoon.
This appears to be the result of a week's long deliberation between the IWL Championship Committee members as a result of what took place during the ending moments of the Return to Glory Pay-Per-View in which a masked man jumped the barricade and assaulted both Crazy Boy and Rodney Phoenix. Afterward he climbed the ladder to retrieve the world title belt and proceeded to drop it. Before officials and security were able to enter in the ring, the masked man jumped the guardrail and enters the general admission area.
"Naturally, with our next pay-per-view being scheduled for another two months away, I can only hope that this situation is settled by then," continued Williams in the press statement. "I cannot go into details about this matter further at this time. I should be able to answer any questions regarding the matter as of Saturday's OverDrive airing."
What will Paul Williams say? What effect on Rodney Phoenix and Crazy Boy will this attack have? For this and more... be sure to tune into OverDrive [67] live from the Conseco Fieldhouse! ``xEkpVAZlFFAbokqfMuL``x1205981939``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://iwl.iwle.com``xFor those still wondering about the recent events from IWL Return to Glory, Crazy Boy is still the IWL World Champion as it seems. Paul Williams released a press release earlier this afternoon regarding the IWL World Championship and what went down and it appears that Crazy Boy still holds the IWL Championship.``x``xIWL_88by31button.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xIWL``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Insomnia nose update ``xscw``xSCW has received a HUGE boost with the news that new Television Champion Insomnia WILL be fit to compete in his up and coming TV title defence against Sure Shot winner AC Thunder on Sin City Wrestling's up and coming Wild-Card programme.
Initial concerns had indicated he'd suffered a break to his nose after it had swelled up during his match with JT Cash at Cancun Clash, however following a medical Doctor Hans Schmidt has confirmed that Insomnia had taken a 'heavy blow' but there was 'No sign of a break' and would require a couple of days lighter training, but would be fit to compete at 100% none the less.
This will come as a major relief to SCW booking staff, considering this will be the companies first show under its 'SCW' guise, and had billed the show as a 'Night of Champions' where every belt would be defended.

OverDrive [67] Card Announced``xretched``xAfter Return To Glory we are now looking at May as the King of the CyberRing begins up again as Paul Williams is ready to announce those who will begin their journey of qualifying.
More importantly, Paul Williams will be on hand to address the situation regarding the IWL World Championship and the implications of what happened during the title match at Return to Glory. The controversy begins when a supposed fan jumped the guardrail, proceeded to climb the ladder and retrieve the belt, just to throw it down afterwards.
Also on hand will be the 'Greatest' IWL Intercontinental Champion in the seven year history of the IWL, 'The Biz' John Smith will be returning to OverDrive.
All this and much more when IWL OverDrive heads to the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis!

Remembering Chad``xChad``xI was working on some updates to the site when I saw the "Birthdays" on FW Central and saw "CDupree." It's hard to believe it's been over three years since Chad Dupree was taken from us.
The innovator of the "HORNET WINS~~!!" comment (and inside dig at me), Chad was a CSWA member, co-founder of GXW way back in 1997. He was a great handler and fedhead, but those who knew him best just cared that he was an even better friend. His legacy has been carried on in EPW and TEAM remembers him with a memorial tournament every year. I think he'd be thrilled about both.
There are plenty of people who could tell you about Chad better than I could. Zieba, Brunk, Bolich, Lindz, Mad Dog, etc. Everyone of them would tell you how kind Chad was -- how funny, how caring and concerned for others. A few of the thoughts that were posted on the board after we all learned of his passing are here if you'd like to see them.
I've got a smile on my face thinking about him. And I expect he probably does too, likely thinking how fitting it is that I make one more "return" on his birthday.
We miss you, Chad. Keep a table open for us all when we get there.

Killing of the King: Part Four``xChad``xYou want me? F***ing well come and find me, I’ll be waiting.
As the falling out between the ClaimStakers continued, and Eli and Hornet would wage a vicious war of words all through 2001, ultimately coming to fruition as Merritt exacted his revenge on each member as CSWA Anniversary 2001 came to pass. Before this revenge, however, Eli and Troy would meet one more time – with stakes so high it was impossible to predict that they would meet again – or even wrestle again.
CSWA Anniversary 2001 would see the RAGE in the CAGE.
Eli Flair entered the cage with a badly injured knee from Elvis Lives, and Troy Windham’s neck was sufficiently damaged enough that he was refused medical clearance that evening, only making his appearance after signing a waiver. The rules were simple: no pinfalls, no submissions in the classic sense, no countouts, no disqualifications. The only way to win was for one man to make the other say the words “I QUIT.”
It was apparent to everyone in the arena that night, and moreso, to the two men who entered the cage, that there was very little chance of a happy ending.
They were right.
As predicted, the cage was not able to contain the rage that these two men carried inside. Inevitably, the action spilled to the floor, with both men showing their strength. Troy’s already damaged neck was taking enough of a pounding for him to be the first to escape, but in doing so he not only drew first blood by slamming the cage door on Eli’s head, but did not return to the ring until he retrieved a heavy wrench from underneath.
The wrench traded hands several times, but so did wristlocks, takedowns, and leg dives. Eli Flair and Troy Windham effortlessly combined full frontal brutality with very effective, very basic amateur wrestling.
Eventually, as the damage to both men was sufficient enough to grab the microphone, Troy decided to remove referee Patrick Young from the match. It was a move that gained a mixture of applause and disbelief from the crowd, and also gained him a look of respect from the King of Extreme.
This was their fight – this was their war. All of the other baggage that had accumulated with the ClaimStakers and the Playboys and their revolving door partners was insignificant at that point. This fight was between the King of the Slackers and the King of Extreme, and injuries were about to pile up.
After the referee went down, all hell broke loose. The two men once again took the fight to the floor, using everything from the cage to the guardrail to the concrete floor against each other, but neither man would stay down. The two men too the fight into the crowd, knocking chairs out of the way, slamming each other around, over, and on top of fans, and, in an image that is still visible in the CSWA’s opening credits to this day, they fought over a chair while sprawled out on the concrete floor, all the while, Troy had Eli cinched in a Figure Four leglock. Eli would win the tug of war and break the hold – and Troy’s hand – with a wild swing. Even after that, neither man would give. Eli grabbed Troy’s hand for a test of strength and Troy immediately clipped Eli’s knee.
But it was enough to swing the match back in Eli’s favor. He would sandwich Troy’s damaged hand in the guardrail and bring a chair crashing down on it, before he dragged Troy back towards the ring. One of the stipulations of the match, curiously enough, was that the words “I QUIT” could only end the match if uttered inside the cage. Ironically, while this stipulation was put in place to limit the scope of their carnage to the ring, it was turned around on itself, used to give both men free reign to shred each other without fear of the match coming to an end.
Eli’s face was a crimson mask, and his knee was swollen and bruised, and Troy’s neck was further damaged by a Slacknife on the steps – and his left hand was a purplish hue, definitely fractured somewhere. But as the other playboy, Eddy Love, approached the ring with a towel to wipe the blood from Troy’s face, the King of the Slackers ignored his plea to end it, ignored the fans’ calling for the bell, and ignored the pain that ran through his body. The King of the Slackers entered the ring, one – armed and dizzy, armed with a chair, and the King of the Slackers was the aggressor when both men stood in the ring across from each other again.
Perhaps Sammy Benson said it best in the moment. “Who’s the good guy supposed to be?”
Tragically, the fight would come to an end in a disturbing, unforeseeable way. When Eli ducked a swing of the chair, he finally got a decent grip on Troy’s glaring weak spot – his broken hand. He caught the broken limb with both his own massive hands, and forced the King of the Slackers to his knees. Then, in a move that would prove to be one of the most disturbing in wrestling history; to the point where former CSWA World Champion Evan Aho himself would later say he had to turn from the monitor, Eli stood on Troy’s broken hand and threatened him with further injury if he didn’t quit.
Troy didn’t quit. Eli broke three of his fingers. He grabbed them, one at a time, and snapped them straight back.
It was that moment that Eddy Love tossed the bloody towel he held into the ring. Referee Patrick Young made a judgment call, and ended the match on the towel. Officially, he gave the victory to Eli Flair, but the subsequent attack on Young, and the off – the – cuff interview he gave to Rudy Seitzer after the fact confirmed his state of mind – since Troy never quit, he didn’t deserve to have his hand raised.
No sooner did Rudy let him pass, than Eli was blindsided by Sweet Melissa, a purse full of bricks, and a thirst for vengeance.
It ain’t braggin, motherfucker, if you back it up.
The fallout from the Rage in the Cage was immediate and intense. No two wrestlers from that point forward would ever take a fight to each other in such a fashion. There were extreme matches between wrestlers who didn’t know how to do anything else, to be sure, but none would come anywhere close to matching the Rage. One critic commented that the match was violent even when it wasn’t violent, which is a testament to the deep hatred they shared to that point.
It was also a testament to the fact that both men continued to wrestle a full time schedule for the next six years. They both took time off in order to heal – Eli had stitches in his face and had yet another surgery on his knee, and Troy had both hands in casts and a second, and then a third operation on his neck before he was to make a full time return to the ring.
In interviews, both men expressed their deep respect for the other. It was literally a case of that which does not kill only makes stronger, but they both respected the other for surviving what they had gone through. The old adage proved true again, that when these two men were not preoccupied with each other, the sky was the limit. Eli Flair branched out to other wrestling companies and gained worldwide success as both two – time fWo World Heavyweight Champion and the most unlikely Asylum Fighting champion of all time, while Troy Windham stayed in Greensboro, consolidated his fanbase, and became perhaps the greatest (certainly the most well – known) wrestler to ever step inside a CSWA ring. Eli Flair would marry and father a daughter, all the while headline the second – biggest show in professional wrestling history, fWo’s 2005 CYBERSLAM, against The Deacon for the World Title, and Troy Windham would make history by becoming the Unified World Champion in the beginning of the CSWA’s resurgence.
They seemed to be at peace with each other in a way that was unfathomable in the weeks leading up to the Rage in the Cage, but it was pure logistics. These two men had taken everything of the other and survived it. These two men had done everything in their power to each other and they both survived it. For four years, the silence between Eli Flair and Troy Windham would be a source of both relief from the rest of the professional wrestling world who feared what another round of broken bones and bloody towels would mean, and anticipation for what the next round would actually bring.
After all, nobody was convinced that the war was truly over. But it would take the most unlikely of circumstances and allies to lead to their final battles.``xEkpVkpVyulZQakxnhk``x1205209248``xfeature``x53481091834249``x``x``x

Slow Start, Not Quitting``xJordanger``xAs some of you may know from reading posts or recent news, the X-Zone has opened it's doors and is accepting any and all talent willing to take the step into X-Zone's Hollywood arena!
With the first event not yet scheduled, the X_Zone's slow start is questioning some what the owner Mr. Big's tactics are in getting superstars signed.
Mr. Big's scond hand man simply known as "Jordanger" left this response:
"Listen, we do not want to force anybody to sign with the X_Zone, as a matter of fact that is the last thing any of us want to do. The X_Zone is about entertainment, we are looking for any possible ways to keep people entertained.
Some have submitted new ideas already and we have done so to suit there needs for this federation. If superstars are not seeing the big picture, it's really no gain for us.
We are having a slow start, but we are not quitting. The X_Zone is new, and with new federations there are always questions just how great it is going to be. How will the fans react? What's in it for the guys that compete? What's the pay like?
Well come in, check it out, it's up to you whether or not you want to join us, but the least you can do is find out what we are offering our superstars in return for the action the X_Zone wants from you.
You've already made the first step if you are hearing this right now. the next step is to tell yourself, 'I have what it takes to be great, I'm a legend in the making, now I'm ready to send a new federation to a much higher level'. And that level we want to achieve is one of legendary status itself.
We want TEAM, CSWA, REBEL, the big dogs to hear us, the X_Zone want your attention. Let us entertain, it's what the X_Zone was built to do. Thank you for your time."
The response led to more and more questions, but the one question many asked was answered, that the X_Zone's slow start as of it's opening just last week, won't send it's employees into unemployment. Perhaps we should ask the same question in one more week.``xEkpuylkAkypKyJMKrG``x1204686526``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/Jordanger/xzone.html``x``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xX_Zone``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
News for 3/4/2008!``xnapw``xMatt Kurtis in action at Pure Dynamite
Matthew Kurtis defeated "Bad Boy" Joey Malone at our last event, but after the match he found himself upended by Joey's friends Esteban, Big Mitch, Mr. Slick's Double, and Chris Kamikaze! Now, an incensed Matthew Kurtis has told Terry Brandon that he wants a piece of them --- all of them at that! Well, Matt gets his wish. He will wrestle the team of Chris Kamikaze, 400 pound BIG MITCH and the latino sensation Esteban in a handicap match. It's almost a fair fight. Maybe if Gary was in the match too. One thing is for sure, Matt has been on a rampage since 2008 started. Will the lovable losers be able to hold their own or are they just prime candidates for a bluegrass ass-kicking?
Astros suspended, fined, more
Commissioner Terry Brandon has released details of Donovan Astros' punishment to the wrestling media. Astros is in serious hot water after a vicious, unprovoked locker room attack hospitalized Intern Pete (as a result of a vertebreaker on the concrete floor). It turns out that Intern Pete is very lucky, suffering no permanent or altogether serious injuries, and should be out of the hospital within a week or two. He will be out of reporting action for sometime, however. Astros is reportedly desperate to remain in NAPW and has agreed to the following terms. The terms of Astros' punishment are as follows.
-Donovan Astros is off Sole Survivor and the April NAPW/REBEL supershow. However, Astros WILL still compete at Pure Dynamite at the request of the man Astros injured, Intern Pete! Pete apparently begged NAPW management to let Astros competed in this contest, where he locked inside the Steel Cage against THE BEAST until one man says "I Quit."
-Astros' contractually obligated title rematch has been stripped of him. That, combined with his disqualification from entering Sole Survivor will keep Astros out of the world title picture for a long time.
-On top of heavy fines totally up to two months salary, Astros has been required to donate a percentage of all future earnings from NAPW to the "Intern Pete Health & Education Fund," a benefit to help Intern Pete as he continues his post-secondary education and help pay for any bills he may be otherwise unable to pay while he is out of work due to injury.
-Finally, Astros is under strict probation with regards to all NAPW employees. Astros will be summarily terminated from his contract if he touches any non-wrestling NAPW employees, without hesitation.
This is without a doubt one of the most severe set of reprecussions issued in NAPW history. It will be interesting to see how Donovan Astros reacts over the coming months.
NAPW-online wishes Intern Pete a speedy recovery. Any well-wishes can be directed to GetWellPete@napw-online.com.
Dogs of Evil
A message was posted on the NAPW-online.com forums today. We can confirm it is legitimate based on information coming out of the NAPW offices. Teddy Davis and David Gage are now known as the "Dogs of Evil," managed by somebody unfamiliar to us named Valentina Evans. You can read the message here In light of this official announcement, NAPW has booked the Dogs of Evil in a tag team match-up. They will make their tag debut ... against NAPW's hottest tag team, the #1 contenders to the tag titles, MYSTIC EXPOSITION!!!
Major news out of Canada Cup
The 2008 Canada Cup has come and gone. Last night's show was one of surprises, betrayals and perhaps controversies. It was also a night of emotion and happiness. NAPW fans are blown away that Krenshov is now NAPW World Champion, despite everything against him going into this contest. This serves as a reminder that truly, anything can happen in NAPW. -In perhaps the biggest piece of news, Donovan Astros is in serious trouble from NAPW management after his brutal attack hospitalized Intern Pete. Astros has snapped after losing his title. No word yet on just what his punishment will be, but rumour is that Astros will be suspended, even if that wrecks the scheduled Astros/Beast Steel Cage "I Quit" finale. Keep it locked on NAPW-online.com for the latest on this situation, and we hope Intern Pete has a speedy recovery. Get well letters can be sent to the Calgary General Hospital.
-The Heritage Title controversy may be cleared up at our next event, March 18th back in Calgary. It is official: Stone Zellor will defend the title against Dez Carter, Jacob Venar and Trent Daniels in a first-fall four-corners match! Stone has held onto that title by hook or by crook. Now, it comes back to haunt him as three men he screwed out of the title get their shots at him in one match. Can Stone find a way to hold onto his precious gold?
-We have received word that Teddy Davis and David Gage, who viciously attacked "LDK" Lloyd Rees last night, will be sending a video message into NAPW-online.com shortly. We do not know if Davis will explain his actions, only that it will "contain our message." We can confirm that they are NOT connected to Mr. John Salton's separate vendetta against LDK. Rees wants answers from both men. Will he get them? Rumour has it that Salton has a surprise for LDK at "Pure Dynamite."
-In huge news, NAPW officials have negotiated a title rematch between Sexy Adorable Drunks and Mystic Exposition! At Sole Survivor III, these teams will compete in a special 2/3 falls contest. The first fall will be contested under normal rules. The second fall will be SUPERSTAR rules. The third fall, if needed, will be a LADDER MATCH! This will be the final encounter between SAD and Mystic Exposition for the belts --- there will be NO REMATCH for the losers. Ian Smith is said to be very unhappy with the situation, but NAPW officials demanded a suitable close to this very personal issue.
-In related news, Ian Smith has finally wrangled a "main event" level match for his client "The Show" Chad Kurtis. At "Pure Dynamite" it will be Kurtis taking on the 2008 Canada Cup winner, "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan! A win over Ryan one week before he challenges Krenshov for the World Title would rocket Kurtis back into major title contention.
-NAPW-online has been unable to reach Matthew Kurtis for comment following his defeat of Joey Malone and embarrassment at the hands of Joey's friends.

NAPW Canada Cup, Part 2``xnapw``x``xEkpuyVEZkEhjAmhWff``x1204655321``xevents``x33021091825623``x``x``x``x``x``x``xnapw_event.jpg``x``x``xThe Canada Cup semi-finals and finals were the focus of this show, and Jake Phoenix and "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan kicked the show off with a bang. There was no quarter given, none taken when these two behemoths beat the living hell out of each other. Both men were bloody and bruised by the end, when Dan Ryan was able to score a Humility Bomb on the near seven-foot Phoenix for an exhausted three count.
In the other semi-final, underdog Trent Daniels overcame manager interference and Prince Darko's reckless style to score a major upset victory and move into the finals! This was another long match, leaving both finalists worn out, with only a little time to regain their energy before the main event!
Daniels and Ryan matched up in a rematch from several weeks ago, when the veteran Ryan put Daniels away despite the rookie's best efforts. Daniels showed a new determination, going after Ryan with his best moves. The two exchanged their biggest moves, Daniels kicking out of the Bluegrass Bomb to the shock of the crowd, Ryan surviving Systems Crash with a foot on the ropes. Dan Ryan hit Daniels with huge blows, but Daniels would not die! However, no matter how much his heart willed him to keep going, eventually his body could not. Dan Ryan scored the win with the Burning Hammer, once again beating Daniels, and becoming the 2008 Canada Cup winner!``x"The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan d. Jake Phoenix in a Canada Cup semi-final.
Heritage Champion Stone Zellor came out for a promo to celebrate his record-breaking title reign. He was confronted by Dez Carter, Jacob Venar, and Trent Daniels --- all men Stone had screwed out of the title in his recent defenses. Stone refused to give another shot to anybody, but commissioner Terry Brandon thought they all had valid cases... so signed a FOUR-CORNERS Heritage Title match for Pure Dynamite with all four men!
Southern Destruction d. Ian Smith's Mystery Massacre Team. SD demanded a shot at Sexy Adorable Drunks if they won. Smith agreed, but when SD DID win, he told them they'd get a match... but it would only be non-title (if SAD were still the champions). Dickweed.
Trent Daniels d. Prince W. Darko in a Canada Cup semi-final.
"The Show" Chad Kurtis d. "Inevitable" David Gage. This was supposed to be a triple-threat, but Stein did not appear when his music played. The Show took the NAPW newcomer out with the CK Finale, but Gage did make a good showing of himself, no doubt earning a roster spot. Gage was seconded by his mentor, the injured Teddy Davis.
NAPW World Champion Donovan Astros and The Beast had an in-ring confrontation. The Beast announced his chosen stipulation for their final encounter at PURE DYNAMITE. It would be an I QUIT match... inside of a steel cage!
"Bluegrass Badass" Matthew Kurtis d. "Bad Boy" Joey Malone. But after the match, Joey's friends stormed the ring to stop Matt from inflicting further damage on the man! Esteban gave Kurtis a bronco buster, Big Mitch dropped a fat guy splash on him, and in the end, Kurtis was embarrassed by the jobbers despite the win. No telling how angry he will be!
Sexy Adorable Drunks d. Mystic Exposition to retain the NAPW Tag Titles. This match was under NORMAL RULES per a Terry Brandon ruling, when he offered Mystic Expo any stip of their choice for this rematch. SAD looked out of sorts without their usual "Superstar Rules" no-dq, no count-out advantage. It was a back and forth contest, ending in yet more controversy when Tommy Deathrow smashed a vodka bottle over Mystic Ninja's head while Ian Smith had the referee distracted, leading to the win for SAD. Post-match, SAD planned to take Mystic Expo out PERMANENTLY, setting up a table and bringing in a ladder, but a bloody Mystic Ninja turned the tide! ME took out SAD and then Ninja hit a Shooting Star Senton (SHURIKEN PRESS) from the top of the ladder through Deathrow on the table! This feud has escalated even further!
"LDK" Lloyd Rees d. "The Falcon" Jacob Venar in a rematch from last November, which Venar won (the start of his popularity and momentum). The two partners and friends were competing in a "Toughen Up" match as each had a very bad Canada Cup Part 1. The match pitted Rees' technical acumen against Venar's speed and high-flying. They went back and forth in a long contest, which Rees was finally able to win after a series of pinfall reversals. The two men shook hands.
After the match, Rees stayed in the ring and called out his turncoat former manager Ol' Salty. Salty came out flanked by security and gave Rees no answers, slapping him on the face. Rees was subdued by security, but they could not hold him. Several young wrestlers came out to help, and in the melee David Gage was nailed by a flailing Rees. Gage and Rees almost got into it, but Teddy Davis calmed his protege down... THEN HIT REES WITH HIS NEW FINISHER! Davis threw the sling off, he's FINE, and Davis and Gage proceeded to beat down Rees! Venar came out to make the save, but Rees is left with even MORE questions now.
In a World Championship match, KRENSHOV defeated Donovan Astros to become the NAPW World Champion! Krenshov came in at a clear disadvantage thanks to the "Tonya Harding" style attack he suffered last week. Astros targeted the leg early and often, but in a shocking upset and incredible story, KRENSHOV was able to deliver Total Eclipse (on one leg!) and earn the NAPW gold that has long eluded him!

One Letter, Said Real Loud: The Legacy of D!``xnapw``x There is one name that resonates in the collective consciousness of New Alberta Pro Wrestling fans and competitors above all other.
Or rather, one letter. Said REAL loud.
D!.
In Year One, it is without argument that one wrestler put NAPW on the map. And that man was D!. His interaction with the fans, his talent, his charisma, his showmanship... to say that D! was integral to the growth and initial success of New Alberta Pro is absolutely not hyperbole. D! was NAPW for one year.
And then he was gone.
1. Cure For The Cancer
On October 31, 2005, Edmonton wrestling got their taste of D!. Coming to the ring in blue jeans, a black t-shirt and flame-detailed Harley-Davidson boots, the long-haired kid hardly looked the part of the pro wrestler. Few gave him the untested rookie much of a chance against the world-travelled Viking. Yet D! brought it all. His Rockettes Kick of Doom. The Nyquil Driver. The Stinger Splash. And finally, the BEAT-O-BARRAGE, a wild flurry of chops, punches and kicks designed to pummel an opponent into submission. One three count later and D!, for his second match EVER, would challenge NAPW Champion THE PLAGUE for the title.
Wrestling pundits wrote D!'s victory off as a rookie upset, a fluke. For the few that gave him a shot against Viking, even fewer gave him a chance against the battle-scarred Plague, one of the most decorated and ruthless competitors NAPW would ever see. The odds against D! were 100 to 1...
The Plague has D!, firing away, taking him into the corner! Right right right right! The Champion sends D! across the ring HARD and charges in! D! catapults over top of the champion though! The Plague rams sternum first into the turnbuckle and D! with a huge reverse thrust kick! There's another kick! Strike! Kick! AND! D! is revving up! THE BEAT-O-BARRAGE IS ON! The Plague trying to counter, counters a strike but D! nails with a huge kick! And again! And again! The Plague being peppered with lightning fast kicks until he drops to his knees! D! with a wide stance, looks at the crowd... AND BUZZ KICKS THE PLAGUE RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE HEADDDD! PLAGUE...flops forward to the canvas and D! hooks the leg! ONE! TWO.....THREEEEE!
D! shocked the wrestling world. And perhaps even more surpisingly, he captivated the hearts and imagination of wrestling fans. He was a dashing Han Solo whispering "Never tell me the odds!" and then beating them. He was "one of us," in the eyes of the fans, a wrestlling fan who said "me too!" and then actually did it.
There is no denying D!'s incredible charisma. Everywhere he went, with merely a glance and a grin, he turned the crowd on their heads. The reactions that followed him were heads and tails louder than any other NAPW wrestler. When D! beat Plague in a Career Match, the pop was deafening. NAPW's hero would not be a veteran deigning to compete in some new Alberta indy; it would not be some typical muscle-bound "superstar." It was the hometown boy, in his jeans and t-shirt, who would put NAPW on the map.
2. Luck of the Draw
Like most highs, the intoxicating glory of D!'s first few months in wrestling would not last.
Terry Brandon waves THE BEAST and STYLIN' KYLE through the curtain and they immediately rush the ring! Brandon follows and hands off his briefcase to KYLE, who tosses it waaaaay up and over into the cage! The Beast is scaling the one side! Kyle now scales the other! Terry Brandon just grabbed the timekeeper and DECKED HIM! He's searching his pockets for the cage door key! Meanwhile, D! has somehow in his anger noticed that D-X is climing the cage! D! climbs the cage and meets The Beast at the top! He's firing away on The Beast, but Kyle is over the top! D! jumps down, leaving The Beast recovering near the top of the cage, and then goes up to meet Kyle! BUT WAIT! CHRIS CASINO IS UP! AND HAS THE STEEL BRIEFCASE! WHAM! RIGHT TO THE BACK OF D! D! drops down and turns around INTO A BRIEFCASE TO THE FACE! Kyle drops down, The Beast drops down, Chris Casino COVERS D!... NOT LIKE THIS. NOT LIKE THIS. ONE! TWO! THREEEEE...EEEEEE!
2005 ended with perhaps one of the most tramautic events in the history. To this day fans remember the night "D! got screwed." Chris Casino was NAPW Champion. And D!, the fans hero...
Disappeared.
Questions and rumours spread like wildfire in the locker room. On the message boards. Some thought that in the wake of his first crushing defeat, D! had simply taken his ball and gone home. "One loss and he bails? Some hero!" Still others, many of them, held out hope that D! would return and right the wrongs of Chris Casino and The New & Improved D-X. But for weeks, there was no trace of D!. As his absence grew longer, worry gripped the fanbase. Was D! injured? Did he indeed quit the business rather than face adversity? His initial months in wrestling, after all, were ones of constant success. He suffered beatdowns, but came out on top every time. In Chris Casino, D! had faced the first challenge he could not surmount.
And then like lightning D! returned.
And he is, in street clothes and a green toque! Lobo gets nailed, rolls out of the ring, and now D! smacks Casino as Predator rolls out of the ring, freed of the chair! D! UNLOADS~! ON CHRIS CASINO, THE CROWD ROARING WITH EVERY PUNCH! Casino staggered, and D! sends him to the ROPES... PLAGUE-LIKE SPINEBUSTER! SPINE ON THE PINE! D! roars to the crowd, raises his arms in a complete adrenaline RUSH! He turns to Casino, preparing to KICK CASINO'S FREAKING HEAD OFF ... LOBO hauls Casino out of the ring! Lobo hauling Casino down the aisle, Casino...staring in mingled shock/awe/surprise/fear. They pause at the curtain, because D!...has the MIC! His voice is full of fire and he leans over the top rope, every word resounding!
D!: Y'see, it's like THIS, peanut. I'M NOT GONE. YOU don't retire people! *I* retire people! Because you've had THREE! WEEKS! to stack the deck in your favour. Now guess what? NOTHING'S CHANGED! You're still nothing without backup, your backup sucks, your ponytail makes you look like a girl, and best of all, D! IS ALIVE! AND! KICKING!
D! was scarred physically, but he showed no mental scares - excepting his need to gain revenge on Chris Casino. At Joker's Wild, in a match still considered one of the greatest, D! defeated Chris Casino inside the same steel cage he lost his title in weeks prior. In a picture-perfect moment, D! delivered the Nyquil Driver from the TOP of the cage to score the pinfall and regain his NAPW title.
But there was a shadow looming on the horizon.
3. Ravager
D!. Ravager.
The two most popular men in NAPW. Impossibly different - one, an everyman, the other, an aloof professional. Two sides of the same liquor bottle. Online, fans would compare them to Batman and the Joker. Could either one exist without the other?
Ravager and D! were easily the two most popular men in NAPW, but D!'s popularity outstripped Ravager's by a wide margin. It seemed inevitable that Ravager's next step after his Provincial title run would be gunning for the NAPW Championship. It was the most anticipated match in NAPW's short history. D! vs Ravager, NAPW title on the line. On February 6th, 2006, it finally happened. After a tremendous contest, it was D! who came out on top with a clean victory thanks to the BEAT-O-BARRAGE.
And then it got ugly.
Two title feuds were rolled up into one. It would be Ravager and the tag champion New & Improved D-X (Stylin' Kyle & The Beast) taking on NAPW champion D! and the Doomriders (Tommy Deathrow & Billy Kryenik) in the so-called "Put Up or Shut Up" match. The winning team would win a title shot for its respective challenger while the champions would get off without having to defend against their rivals again.
On 2/13, Ravager & D-X were victorious. Ravager earned his title shot against D!, and D-X would not have to defend against the Doomriders again. Except that Ravager had manipulated NAPW owner Wahoo Winchell into giving the Doomies another shot at D-X, whom he disliked, REGARDLESS. It seemed that Ravager had out-thought every man in that match. Would he out-think D! when the title was on the line? The hype for the rematch surpassed the first match.
And then Ravager dragon suplexed his manager Tiffany MacIntyre on the concrete. "No distractions." D! was incensed. The intensity of his rivalry with Ravager EXPLODED into unadulterated hatred. D! was filmed in an uncensored rage, screaming across Whyte Avenue at the residence of his opponent. "I AM GOING TO REMEMBER THIS, YOU BASTARD, YOU GIRL-BEATING PSYCHO, I AM GOING TO REMEMBER THIS WHEN I FLAT-OUT PUMMEL YOU!"
02/20/2006:
D! POPS OUT OF THE CURTAIN, rarin' to go --- and is met with a hail of BOOS?! The initial pop suddenly gives way to a mixture of cheers and voracious boos, causing D! to momentarily lose his bearings. He recovers and sprints to the ring, slapping hands with those fans extending their hands, slides in the ring and rips the belt off, holding it above his head. The boos intensify?! D!, clearly thrown, tries not to pay them any heed but hands off his belt to Referee Dick Kiebiech.
For whatever reason, right or wrong, the NAPW fans felt that it was D!'s words and actions which led to Tiffany McIntyre's injury. The fans, apparently, believed Ravager when he stated that he wasn't the monster D! needed him to be. Jack Jones put it best, saying "It's just business for Ravager. It's D! who's made this one personal! D! who's done everything he can to make Ravager a "monster" for him to fight, because D!...can't handle the fact that the fans don't seem to want to boo Ravager for doing things D! considers to be "wrong." I don't like the fans much, but you know what? They pay their money, they can cheer and boo whomever the hell they want!"
Bill Hewson disagreed. The match went on, a bizarro-world version of D! and Ravager's first encounter. Some fans never doubted their hero. But many, too many, hated D! that night. For the first time in his career, D! was not beloved, he was not the fan-favorite, he was not the conquering hero. And yet in the end, it was D!'s prediction which came true...
BILL HEWSON: TIFFANY MACINTYRE JUST LOW BLOWED D! FROM BEHIND! TIFFANY HAS LOW BLOWED THE CHAMPION! NO! DRAGON SUPLEX! NOT LIKE THIS! ONE! TWO! TH----D! KICKED OUT! D! KICKED OUT! And now the crowd is uncomfortable, still booing D!'s kick-out but clearly shocked and confused by Tiffany Macintyre! BUT D!! HAS! KICKED OUT OF THE DRAGON SUPLEX! THE CHAMPION STILL HAS GAS LEFT IN THE TANK! Ravager swears and yanks D! up roughly by the hair...WAITAMINUTE. TIFFANY HAS PUT THE NAPW TITLE BELT ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE. Ravager hoists D! up and follows, Tiffany holding the belt in place. Ravager---no nonsense---no TIME WASTED --- HITS THE SUPERBRAINBUSTER ON THE TITLE BELT! GOOD LORD! D! may have a broken neck! And now Ravager COVERS... THE CROWD COUNTING ALONG! ONE! TWOOOOOO! ... ... ... THREEEEEEEEEE!
4. Now What?
The title loss itself did not shake D!. What shook him was the reaction of the crowd. In one fell swoop, they turned on him. It was D!'s first exposure to the fickle nature of wrestling fans. The next week he came out and cut a promo, expressing his confusion, even apologizing for perhaps indeed crossing a line in his zealousness to defend the line against Ravager. The fans welcomed D! back with open arms and all was well.
D! wanted back into the NAPW title scene. The shortest route to that was the Sole Survivor match. D! chose to enter #1, to prove something to himself more than anybody else. He would last til the very end only to get eliminated by Devastation, who would go on to win the NAPW title. D! was still on the outside looking in.
The springtime of 2006 saw D! recover from an injury at the hands of Stein's deadly "Vitiator" maneuver while becoming involved in the ongoing war between Devastation's "Charitable Trust" group and the top faces in NAPW. Ironically, the threat of the Charitable Trust would lead to D! teaming with Static, Rex Caliber and his hated foe Ravager to engage the Trust in a War Games match at Complete Control. The team seemed to put aside all their various personal issues (Ravager/Rex, Ravager/Static, Ravager/D!... well Ravager and all his teammates, basically) and came out on top. D! and Static would form a loose tag team and battle Trust members, including Devastation and Pit Boss, throughout April and May. It seemed that perhaps D! was done as the top dog in NAPW, as Rex Caliber came onto the scene and defeated Devastation for the NAPW Title at Epic.
5. Back In The Saddle
The post-Epic period of NAPW, going into June, saw dramatic changes. Static betrayed his partner Rex Caliber in brutal fashion and then took the NAPW title from him. The Delivery Men upended D-X for the NAPW title. New talent swarmed into NAPW looking to make their names. And in this element of unpredictability and even chaos, D! would emerge once again as the leader of NAPW. He earned the #1 contendership and would challenge the demented Static on July 18th for the title at NAPW's first outdoor event, Get The Hell Off Our Lawn. While the event would be marred by a riot (caused, coincidentally, by Ravager) and D!'s match postponed one night, the result was nonetheless one he wanted...
The crowd is going BALLISTIC... and then in the ring, Static is legitimately UNCONSCIOUS. D!... D! is up, enough. He looks at Static, he looks at the steel chair, he looks in the aisle at The Man In Black hauling ass to the entrance way, looks at Joseph Winchell, looks at Dick Kiebiech shaking the cobwebs loose in his forehead... D! looks at the crowd... And covers Static, hooking the leg.
BILL HEWSON: Wait a minute, D! is covering Static --- I don't believe it --- Kiebiech is counting! ONE!
JACK JONES: NOT LIKE THIS!
BILL HEWSON: TWO!
A heartbeat.
CROWD: THREEEEEEEEE!
It was the Summer of D!.
In extra-curricular activities, D! would win a massive tournament in the TEAM promotion, becoming the first-ever Champion of Champions. On the homefront, D! would defeat Static in a rematch, and then move onto the man he wanted most of all. D! and Ravager renewed their rivalry and this time there was no question about who was the fan favorite. Ravager had become one of the most hated men in NAPW, and D! was back in his position as the hero. The beloved. He defeated Ravager with a WHAMMA-JAMMA ELBOW HAMMA in convincing fashion. If that wasn't enough, D! gained the ultimate victory over his nemesis one week later in a "Loser Leaves Whyte Avenue" match. Fans brought the weapons, and D! and Ravager went at it not for a title, but the right to live in their chosen area of Edmonton. Once again, D! emerged victorious, forcing his defeated rival to relocate.
By August, it seemed clear that this time, D! would engage on the epic title run so many had expected his second should have been. The kid had come into his own. Sure he still had less than a year of experience, but he seemed to learn exponentially - he was better than wrestlers with five years under their belt. That was a fact.
D! had experienced adversity; he had overcome it. He had spent time out of the spotlight; he came through it with humility and earned his way back to the top. He even was finding love outside of the ring. In these circumstances, even the red-hot Provincial Champion, "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees seemed like a longshot to upend him. And D! indeed fended the future "LDK" off...
The future was looking bright.
Which is why it was so shocking when Rees actually won the NAPW title in a 30-minute Iron Man match, three falls to two... with the aid of a steel chair. A shocked D! took his frustration out on Rees and his shenanigans by delivering a flying elbow drop to Rees through the announce table! But even though D! had seemingly gone nuts, the fans loved it. The hero had been robbed, Rees got his just desserts. Nothing was out of the ordinary.
6. With A Kiss
Anniversary Assault. October 31st, 2006. The one year anniversary of New Alberta Pro Wrestling. And to commemorate the occasion, the five men remaining in the promotion from the first show were placed into a single match. The "Hallowe'en House of Horrors" it was called, a cage match where the object was to handcuff each of your opponents to the side of the cage. The winner, no doubt, would be in line for an NAPW title shot.
Five men entered. D!. Ravager. "The Moose" Mark Millar. And both members of The New & Improved D-X, Stylin' Kyle Roberts and Bruce "The Beast" Richards. And from the get-go, D! was on a mission! He dominated his opponents, and seemed well on his way to victory when Ravager shattered his kneecap.
To the fans utter disappointment, D! was removed from the cage, seemingly unable to finish the match-up. Ravager would go on to win...
And then all hell would break loose.
The lights went out. When they came up, The Plague was in the ring, his first NAPW appearance since D! retired him in December 2005. He attacked Ravager. The Dudes, fan-favorites who earlier that night were inducted into the "Ring of Prestige," attacked D-X. The Moose was helpless, handcuffed to the cage.
But the fans knew there was one man who could save the day.
One man who could turn back The Plague and the turncoat Dudes.
One man.
One letter.
Said real loud.
This is the scene.
Tiffany Macintyre is prone. Bruce Richards is half-conscious, his free arm draped over Tiffany in an attempt to shield her. Plague has a steel chair raised high above his head. A glassy-eyed Ravager is on his knees, hands cuffed behind his back. The Celtic Assassins are down and out, The Moose choking and stomping them. Mike Johnston is trying to break Kyle Roberts in half, Cameron Scott jeering Kyle. Bill Fleming is down after bravely trying to help his team. Rod Hardway and Dutch Flanagan have made their way out to help, taking revenge on the Celtic Assassins with their comrade Moose. There is no hope. Little light.
Until D! comes out.
D! rushes the ring, adrenaline pumping his bad leg. He has a steel chair. Three hits. Three members of Stiff Competition crashing to the canvas. The Dudes scatter, exiting the ring in a hurry as D! bangs the chair off the top rope in an attempt to nail Johnston. D! smashes the cage with the chair. The crowd goes banana. Orange. Apple. Bonzo gonzo. Coconut. COCONUT, dammit.
Then.
It is The Plague staring across the ring at the man who put him out of NAPW one year ago. D!. D!. The Plague. D!. The Plague. The crowd is begging for D! to kill Plague, they want his blood. And then their whole world is destroyed.
And nobody was spared the fury D! rained down. Not Ravager. Not Wayne Wright. Not Bill Hewson. Not Frank Warburton.
This is how Anniversary Assault ends. The biggest night in NAPW history. The celebration of one full year of accomplishment.
With D!, it's very face, it's poster boy, it's franchise standing atop the announce table, laughing sickly, holding a blood-stained steel chair.
The savior of NAPW...
Has delivered us unto evil.
7. And Then, Silence
The world didn't make sense.
Nothing made sense.
And with that atmosphere permeating NAPW fandom, the crowd packed The Palace in Calgary Alberta in the hopes that they would be given an explanation. That it would all prove to be a bad dream. That D! would come out and say "SURPRISE! It's all a joke!"
Nobody really believed that. Rather, they feared what would happen to NAPW with a seemingly insane D! on the roster. Some even feared it would be the destruction of the promotion.
It didn't quite happen that way.
D!: And I knew that no matter what I'd ever do... you'd always be out there. Watching me. To love me. To cheer me.
Gingerly, he reaches up to his head and grabs hold of his toque, pulling it slowly back. The long, jagged scar running across his forehead screams out, a white centipede against a face slowly turning pinker.
D!:You sure as Hell would never PROTECT me when the going got rough, but Oh Lord, would you CHEER me. That is, unless... you'd rather HATE me. February Twentieth. The epic re-match between yours truly, and that low-down, worthless excuse of a man called RAVAGER.
With this, a "RAV-A-GER" chant starts up. D! screws his face up, rolls his eyes.
D!: Jesus, this never ends with you people. See, it's that damn match all over again. We watched--we ALL watched that sick mental patient attack Tiffany MacIntyre, Dragon Suplex her onto CONCRETE. That... that act... you know what? Violence against women... is NEVER. ACCEPTABLE. He injured Tiffany to get into MY head and I LOST IT. I know you wanted me to be the happy-go-lucky, burger-chompin' good guy, but he crossed a REAL (BLEEP) line and I did everything in my power to STICK it to him. And you all saw what I saw. You all knew what I knew. And YET.
AND YET.
YOU ALL TURNED ON ME.
You all saw something that you didn't LIKE, even if it was as real for me as anything else. You... you SAW that psychopath... and you CHEERED him. I'd been HONEST to you since DAY ONE... and you sided with a violent lunatic... because it was the COOL thing to do. Yeah, I lost to Ravager that day, lost my second Championship, too, and do you know what I did the VERY next week? I came out the VERY next show... I stood in this VERY spot... and I asked to be let back into your hearts.
It worked. And so I NEVER trusted you again. Hey, here's an idea--you all saw me nearly kill D-X and some announcers last Tuesday--why don't y'all forgive me? One more time! Come on, for D!
YOU CAN PROTEST ALL YOU GUYS WANT, BUT THE NAPW IS DEAD! AND I KILLED IT! DO YOU HEAR ME? I MADE--I CREATED THE NAPW! IT IS NOTHING WITHOUT ME! I MADE IT NATIONAL! I MADE IT THE NUMBER ONE PROMOTION IN CANADA! I BROUGHT INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION HERE! AND JUST LIKE I MADE IT, I CAN TAKE IT OUT, AND THERE'S NOT A (BLEEP) THING YOU OR ANYONE ELSE CAN--
D!'s mad rant was interrupted by a young upstart, one much like D!. The Pure Honor champion Simply Beautiful crashed the horror and told D! what was what. He made it clear that NAPW would survive without D!, that it was bigger than D!. The crowd cheered SB like they once cheered D!. With every word from SB's lips, they got louder and louder and louder. D!'s rage grew. Finally he snapped.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL: NEW ALBERTA PRO IS MY HOME, AND I'M GONNA DEFEND MY HOME NO MATTER WHAT! IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE, I'LL MAKE YOU, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!
The fans are chanting SB's name! THIS IS INSANITY!
D!: You wanna know what I think... peanut?
ROUNDHOUSE! D! just punched SB! The fans are booing like crazy, and D! is all over the Pure Honor Champion. Rights and lefts, and SB is dazed. D! smirks... SPINEBUSTER! The Pure Honor champion is down, and D! is just getting started. He waits for Simply Beautiful to get up, then wraps a sleeper ---NYQUIL DRIVER --- SB COUNTERS behind! EXPLOOOOODER BACK SUPLEX! This place has OFFICIALLY come unglued!
Simply Beautiful and D! both to their feet, SB is first... D! fires! BLOCKED! SB IS A HOUSE'A'FAR, tearing apart the Golden Boy! Rights, lefts, D!'s busted wide open! The former champion leaning against the top ropes, dazed, disbelieving... and here's SB with a clothesline to send D! right over the top rope! The man who has carried NAPW for a year has just been sent flying out on his ass! The crowd is ballistic, they're chanting SB's name as D! limps up the ramp, clutching his leg as he slinks out of the arena. Simply Beautiful wants more, he's begging for more, but D! looks at the fans --- he spits on the rampway! D! waves his hands, he doesn't want anything to do with Simply Beautiful... and with that, the face of NAPW for a year slinks through the curtain.
And that was the only "match" Simply Beautiful and D! would ever have. That was the last anybody would ever see of D! in an NAPW ring.
Days later, revelations came out. D!'s ex-lover revealed the truth about the "leaked" internet chat transcripts between D! and a mysterious correspondent known only as "Camus Had It Easy" (later changed to "I Of The Dragon"). Most speculation assumed the correspondent to be The Plague. The events of Anniversary Assault seemed to confirm that.
Jean revealed how wrong everybody was. About the correspondent. About everything.
JC: I step out of the bedroom, somehow don't make a sound, and there, in the middle of his darkened apartment, he's sitting there, writing at his computer, and talking to himself. And he's writing a script, it looks like. And then he highlights a sentence he'd write, and shade it red.
PWI: Uh...
JC: Yeah.
PWI: Wow.
JC: I know.
PWI: So he was faking chat transcripts?
JC: Because he was "Camus" or "Dragon" or whoever. And he probably sent in those document files himself, too.
PWI: That doesn't sound like something D! would do--
JC: Like hire an actress to play Ravager's daughter? Or fake his suicide off of the cruise ship? Or try to take off Frank Warburton's head? (Grimaces.) Why did people fail to understand that he was always crazy?
Days later, the final videotape of D! was found along with a badly beaten, but thankfully unharmed in any permanent way, NAPW cameraman.
And that was the last anybody has seen or heard of D!.
Epilogue
The subject of D! is a complex one, with no easy answers. For one year, he was the face of NAPW. The poster boy. The beloved hero and hometown boy. Yet a mere two weeks have soured even the best memories.
As a wrestling fan, watching old D! matches is a surreal experience. No matter how positive the crowd reacts, in the back of one's mind is the knowledge of how it ended. Of the revelations of D!'s seeming insanity well before his public "snapping."
D! had problems. Problems he shared with not a living soul. How could he have been helped? Who knew he even had such mental issues?
Yet at the same time, it is impossible to not recognize the contributions D! made to New Alberta Pro. Some wonder if the promotion would have survived more than a handful of shows if D! had not captivated the fans in Alberta and elsewhere. D! and NAPW, for one year, were inexorably linked. D! truly was the face of NAPW. He brought the promotion to world-wide attention when he won the Tournament of Champions in TEAM. He caused fans to check out an unknown independent from Alberta, Canada through whatever means they could. He sold DVDs. He sold tickets. He sold merchandise.
It is futile to speculate on what NAPW would have been like in 2007 if D! had remained in the promotion, whether as a beloved star or the most hated man in the promotion. For some, D!'s disappearance was a blessing. Simply Beautiful was catapulted into the stratosphere, adopted by the fans as their new hero, even doing what D! couldn't do - win Sole Survivor.
Perhaps most strikingly, it allowed Ravager to move out from the shadow of the man, to become more than just Joker to D!'s "Batman." Perhaps Ravager's epic title run over six months of 2007 would never have happened with D! present. If not because D! would beat him, but because Ravager and D! seemed obsessed with one another to no end.
Ironically, in the end, it would be Ravager the hero... and D! the villain.

In the end, D-X reminded the fans and showed the MCD exactly why they are legendary FIVE-TIME NAPW tag champs, taking the win in convincing fashion with the Down & Dirty combination. And now, Kyle did not turn on Bruce yet again. A great match and another bad show for the World Champion...``x"The Show" Chad Kurtis d. KRENSHOV. It took a Showtime DDT and two consecutive BMEs to do it, but The Show scored a pinfall on the colossal Krenshov. Dan Ryan came down to watch the match, but stayed out of the action... he sure had a lot to smirk about though.
"LDK" Lloyd Rees defeated Teddy Davis, "Bad Boy" Joey Malone and "Bluegrass Badass" Matthew Kurtis in a four-corner elimination match. The final two competitors gained spots in the 2008 Canada Cup. Joey eliminated Kurtis in the first fall with a schoolboy. An infuriated Kurtis Bluegrass Bombed Joey twice after that, leaving Rees and Davis to engage in essentially a solo match. After numerous reversals Rees submitted Davis to the Conception Bay Chinlock. Malone survived Rees' assault, even scoring some near falls, but in the end Da Technical Terror was too much for the "Bad Boy" and Malone also fell victim to the Chinlock. Rees wins the match and the right to choose his first-round opponent, but the big story is Malone earning a spot in the tournament himself!
Tommy Deathrow d. "The Dynasty" Dan Miller vs Chris Kamikaze when he pinned Kamikaze. Miller seemingly had the match won when Ian Smith pulled the referee out. In the melee that ensued, Deathrow draped an arm over an unconscious Kamikaze to score a cheap three-count and escape the wrath of Miller and the Southern Destruction team.
"The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan d. Trent Daniels in a near-classic. The veteran Ryan did not underestimate the rookie Daniels, taking it to him right away. But Daniels was able to make a huge comeback and at several points almost put "The Ego Buster" away. With one minute left in the match, Daniels attempted a last-ditch effort to put Ryan away... but one Humility Bomb spelled his doom. Nonetheless, Daniels took Dan Ryan nearly to the 20 minute time limit and impressed many, if not Dan Ryan himself.
Dez Carter & Asuka Katsuragi d. Stone Zellor & Lady Sparks in NAPW's first ever mixed tag! Carter & Katsuragi certainly had the edge in teamwork and skill. Asuka got caught by Stone & Sparks and worked over, but made the hot tag to Carter... and finally, Dez Carter got a pinfall over the sly Heritage Champion, the first time any wrestler has pinned Stone cleanly since September. This no doubt puts Dez in line for another shot at the Heritage belt...
"The Falcon" Jacob Venar d. Prince W. Darko in a wild contest that saw SAD, Ian Smith, Dextro, Lloyd Rees and Teddy Davis all get involved. Finally, Venar scored the SMW and picked up the huge win on the arrogant Darko.
Krusty Kid Paul d. Mystic Ninja after a stiff and hard-hitting contest. Ninja's injured partner Expositioner was in the front row, and it looked like the SAD were going to attack him once again. It turns out it was a trap designed to distract Ninja, allowing KKP to nail the Bottle Opener for the win. Post-match SAD then attempted to injure Ninja, prompting Expositioner - despite having no medical clearance to be in the ring - to jump the rail and save his partner.

-Sexy Adorable Drunks have injured yet another competitor. Teddy Davis will miss at least six weeks of action thanks to Deathrow and Krusty Kid Paul.
-Jacob Venar will challenge Stone Zellor for the Heritage Title at ONE NIGHT ONLY.
-The Beast's title rematch against Donovan Astros will take place at the "PURE DYNAMITE" event in March. If Astros is no longer the champion, Beast will still challenge for the title, but will not choose a stipulation. Beast/Astros would then be rescheduled for April or May with Beast choosing the stipulation then to finish their feud once and for all!
-Remember, Sexy Adorable Drunks will challenge for the REBEL World Tag Titles at WINTER BLAST next Tuesday in North Carolina. Could SAD become tag champs in both promotions? They'll have to get by the champions of Warren and NAPW's very own "Bad Boy" Joey Malone!

PWA continues to roll!!``xJWTKINS``xThe PWA continues to flourish with the crowning of its premier champions!
Mark McNasty, who lost a chance for a key the first week, found redemption by winning a key off Nick Mathews and would later be crowned the PWA IC Champion!
Kirlia, who beat McNasty in week one, walked away with one half of the tag team titles, paired now with Enika Engel who came in on week two to earn a shot at a key! However, Kirlia and her opponent Icetank tried to walk away from their match and President Sommers turned the tables.. Kirlia and Icetank now have to face Enika and her brother Matthew, with the winners becomming tag champs!
Gabe Shelly and Alex Wilkie, both undefeated so far, seemed to get the short end of the sticks.. winding up with the TV and GB titles respectively!
And Project X, the monster of a man, who held key #1, was shocked to find it belonged to the World Title! His response? To decimate everyone else in the ring and lay claim that the PWA was HIS, and no one would stand in his way!
And finally, Enika won her key off of Phoenix, who was DQd with a vicious chair attack on Enika, only to be confronted by his nemesis Raizzor! These two met only once before, in 2002 at Genesis 4!!
Rampage scored high, and now leads in to Genesis 8, where a rematch of the ages awaits between Raizzor and Phoenix... five title matches and a concept borrowed from WWE, the Money in the Bank ladder match! ``xEkpEuFkZkAtvBRiSbK``x1201436329``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://the-pwa.com/archives/rampage012508.htm``xThe Pioneer Wrestling Association crowns its premier champions!

Bruce "The Beast" Richards demolished Gregory Zade in under four minutes, unleashing his entire arsenal and sending a message to current champion Donovan Astros. The Beast is Unleashed!
Sexy Adorable Drunks d. "LDK" Lloyd Rees & "The Falcon" Jacob Venar in a wild "Superstar Rules" affair to retain the NAPW Tag Team Titles. This match was classic ECW with wild spots and worked the crowd into a lather. Rees & Venar seemed poised to take the titles when Prince W. Darko inserted himself (and a steel chair) into the match-up. Darko left with SAD and their manager Ian Smith!
Jake Phoenix defeated Stein in a punishing contest, remaining the #1 contender. Stein kicked out of enormous blows, enraging Phoenix. Finally two chokeslams and a Tombstone put Stein down for three.
Trent Daniels defeated Stone Zellor via count-out, which meant that the Heritage title did NOT change hands. Daniels was about to win the contest when Lady Sparks pulled her man out of the ring. The champion took a walk, dropping the decision but retaining the belt.
The Murder City Devils came out to cut a promo. The Beast came out. Astros and Beast agreed on stipulations for the ONE NIGHT ONLY tag match between New & Improved D-X and the MCD next week. If D-X wins, the Beast gets to choose any stipulation he wants for a title rematch against Astros. If the Devils win, The Beast does not get another title shot as long as Astros is champion.
Prince W. Darko d. Teddy Davis with a low blow/Zamunda Driver and timely distraction by new manager Ian Smith. Post-match Darko threatened to Zamunda Drive Davis again, but a bandaged Jacob Venar ran out to get some of Darko. Darko and Venar meet next week at ONE NIGHT ONLY.
KRENSHOV beat "The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan via DQ. "The Show" Chad Kurtis, sitting in on commentary, accidentally got nailed by a Krenshov big boot after Ryan dodged. The two behemoths looked to finish it in the ring when the Show leveled Krenshov with three chair shots. Dan Ryan didn't appreciate being cost the match, even if his rival was floored, and gave a Humility Bomb to The Show. Nothing was settled between the two titans, and now The Show is mixed up in the feud!
Stone Zellor came out to run down all the Heritage title challengers. His rival Dez Carter took exception to this and demanded another shot, after Stone got purposely DQed in their last contest. Lady Sparks lowblowed Dez and Stone attacked, but Dez's girlfriend Asuka Katsuragi ran out and got involved! Asuka and Lady Sparks went at it, but it was Stone yet again laying out Dez with a title belt shot that won the day. NAPW officials have signed the promotion's first ever mixed tag next week as a result: It will be Dez Carter & Asuka vs Stone Zellor & Lady Sparks!``xCalgary AB - Ogden Legion Hall``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x01.22.2008``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Starting off 2008 in SUPERstyle!``xNFW``xNew Frontier Wrestling kicked off 2008 in style with a much-hyped press conference that not only announced their new home in the Big Apple, but also an upcoming show entitled "SUPERCRASH I: CORONATION."
From the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel, ESEN and FWrestling.com got a first-hand look at New Frontier Wrestling's mantra of a Wrestling Revolution in 2008. As they're globally expanding, NFW has decided to relocate operations with ESEN to New York City in attempt to expand their product in a highly visible and lucrative multimedia market. The move will keep NFW very close to its east coast roots, but in line with the theme...they're living quite majestically.
"SUPERCRASH I: CORONATION" will be the first show since the ballyhooed and controversial CRASHMAS SIX. Craig Miles spoke predominantly at the press conference looking like Fidel Castro with a new mustache, even! Eddie Mayfield also attended in full EL PRESIDENTE gear. Miles ranted and raved about himself for a good five minutes, before striking a chord with the audience and further proving that this Wrestling Revolution will be the real deal in NFW.
Due to the highly contested finish between Dan Ryan vs. Felix Red vs. Kin Hiroshi for the World Championship at Crashmas 6, RYAN and RED have been given the opportunity to main event SUPERCRASH and have the opportunity to become at least the THIRD new champion crowned...hence "CORONATION," being the theme of the evening.
SUPERCrash will also mark the beginning of the second leg of NFW's West Coast Tour which will culminate in the Wrestlestock 2 Pay-Per-View event, where NOVA will face the World Champion due to his Season 2 Ultratitle Championship. Ironically, JOE THE PLUMBER, the NFW Television Champion has been sidled with a heavy grudge against the Rising Star and declared Nova the challeger to his title defense at SUPERCrash.
While, 'The Blue Eyed Badass' has badly missed his deadline given at Crashmas, it seems that Craig Miles suggested that SEAN STEVENS still has the opportunity to join ROOK BLACK and TERESA QUARANTA in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES final.
Rounding out the card at the Rose Garden in Portland will be the EVERETTE MEMORIAL TITLE tournament final between THE DREAM TEAM and the HOLLYWOOD WRECKING CREW, both teams upsetting the veteran favorites opposing them that evening.
If that didn't whet anyone's appetite, Mayfield and Miles have not only promised to SUSPEND any NFW employee if they interfere in these matches INDEFINITELY, but also hinted at the Cojones Mercado FIRING SQUAD making an appearance. Surely, LEGION wouldn't want to be the next Roland Priest.
Keep tuned into ESEN and FW.com for the latest promos and feature stories regarding all the superstars involved in this event as well as a small house show that Craig Miles has promised to announce this weekend.``xEkpEpuVZFpkUcVvbtI``x1201049330``xnewsfw``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com/``xNew Frontier Wrestling kicked off 2008 in style with a much-hyped press conference that not only announced their new home in the Big Apple, but also an upcoming show entitled "SUPERCRASH I: CORONATION."``x``xrevolutionnews.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x17104``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

ESEN Spotlight: The Killing of the King (Part Three)``xChad``xYou got some nerve to come back here, you’re not the only one who can smell fear.
The match itself was a back – and – forth contest between two wrestlers at the absolute peak of their ability, but their respective seconds and associated partners were destined to interfere. When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, Eli officially won the match via disqualification, but the image that remained in the minds of the people watching was Bandit and Junior Hornet holding Eli back while Troy strapped the World Title belt around his own waist.
As previously stated, title belts were almost never a part of the feud between Eli Flair and Troy Windham. Eli quickly showed why, as he practically demanded a match with Troy at the upcoming THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SPECTACULAR two – day event, despite the fact that he had a World Title defense on Night One against the seven foot tall Deacon, and was to lead his team in WAR GAMES in the main event of Night Two against The UnHoly. His fight with Troy, sandwiched in as the opener of the second night, would fall short, as he lost the championship to Deacon.
Still, in their match; the second and last that they would have in the old millennium, Eli managed to score the pinfall victory with a reversal of a submission hold; the last wrestling move between these two men for nearly seven years. Following the WAR GAMES main event, Eli would also not wrestle for several months, citing injuries and general fatigue, and was looking forward to an open – ended break.
His return would mark the night that he Staked a Claim on the CSWA.
The World Needs a Hero
CSWA Anniversary 2000 featured a main event that most of the professional wrestling world had been hoping for and anticipating for over two years. Ever since he made his CSWA debut, The Deacon had been a silent, efficient Hero, walking the line with dignity and poise. From a marketing standpoint, he was everything that the CSWA could have hoped for – his clean cut image was a throwback to the days when the good guys wore white and the bad guys wore black, every time, but despite the nature of the ‘character’ he was never the type to lecture or bore the people. From a wrestling standpoint, he was a heavyweight that could move like a cruiserweight, and his ability kept the fans coming back night after night.
The match that was a pipe dream quickly became a possibility following the Thanksgiving Weekend Spectacular 1999, as ‘Devastating’ Mike Randalls made his return to the CSWA. For the man formerly known as the King of Darkness to square off with The Deacon, at CSWA Anniversary 2000, the World Title was almost an afterthought. Indeed, the two men wrestled one of the most memorable matches in Anniversary history for more than sixty minutes, until the unthinkable happened.
Eli Flair, Poison Ivy, and Hornet joined forces with Mike Randalls, with their intent to ‘Stake a Claim’ on the CSWA. To this day there is little information on how much of their subsequent promo was part of the show and how much of it was an attempt at a power play, but the immediate after effect was that Eli Flair, Hornet, and Mike Randalls, dubbed the ‘ClaimStakers,’ were the new villains on the block. Further complicating things was the fact that the only real ‘Hero’ in the CSWA, Deacon, was forced to vacate the championship and leave the company due to complications from Multiple Sclerosis. The CSWA needed a trio of fearless heroes to combat this new threat, and the only men who stepped up were, ironically, The Playboys, Troy Windham and Eddy Love.
They would be joined for a spell by Cardigo Mysterian, who would prove the deciding factor in the first official meeting between the men as part of their respective stables. Mobile, Alabama would see a Sixty Minute Marathon match between Hornet and Eli of the ClaimStakers, and the Playboys, Troy and Eddy. Two sights dominated the night: first, as the time limit ran out and the teams were tied at four falls apiece, Cardigo Mysterian emerged from the crowd to tip the scales in favor of the Playboys in sudden death overtime. Second, more hauntingly, Eli Flair dragged Eddy Love’s valet Sweet Melissa from the floor to the ring apron, and viciously powerbombed her through a table on the outside. This action would have severe consequences for the King of Extreme in the months to come.
In a move just as polarizing as the formation of the ClaimStakers itself, CSWA Commissioner Chad Merritt pointedly included Mike Randalls in the Round Robin tournament, and discluded both Hornet and Eli Flair, despite the fact that the only other former champions included in the field were Randalls himself, and Eddy Love.
But it would be at Elvis Lives XII where, not only did the IRONMAN come to a close with Randalls and Love wrestling the deciding match, but the war between Eli and Troy would escalate in such a way that nobody would ever be the same.
You will know me from scars I bear! You will know me by the hate I swear!
As the ClaimStakers/Playboys feud continued to escalate, the Playboys shifted out Cardigo Mysterian as their unaffiliated third party and replaced him with ‘The English Gent’ Lawrence Stanley, and gradually broke down to their individual parts. Randalls and Love would meet in the final match of the IRONMAN, Hornet and Stanley would feud over Teri Melton, of all people, and Eli and Troy would reignite the hatred and ill will they had towards each other the previous year. The only difference between the three matches was the fact that Eli and Troy were to settle their differences – indeed, they had each won one of their two prior matches – inside a roofed steel cage.
Or so the plan was to go.
In reality, the moment the bell rang, the moment the cage began to lower around the ring, Eli tackled Troy and both men collapsed to the outside. For the next thirty minutes, there was no wrestling to be had at Elvis Lives XII. For the next thirty minutes, Eli and Troy beat each other to shreds with their fists, with chairs, with walls, with concrete floors and steel guardrails, and with the meaty goodness, boiling water, and warm broken glass of a hot dog vendor.
It was clear at that point that the original sins of Troy putting Eli out for a year, and Eli considering himself on the same level as Troy were far forgotten in the heat of the intense ultraviolence that the two men were inflicting on each other. Even after Troy dropped Eli from the lower tier to the floor, by way of the hot dog vendor, the King of Extreme refused to take the slightest back step.
When the two men finally returned to ringside, and there was no way for them to get back into the ring, Troy simply improvised. He climbed the side of the cage and dropped himself on Eli. Then he did it again.
But Eli was not to be outdone, and when Troy went up for a third go, Eli met him halfway up.
They struggled, they traded blows, and when Troy kicked him in the jaw, Eli fell twelve feet, square on his back.
Troy climbed to the top of the cage to survey the damage, and he saw something that would be forever burned into the psyche of every CSWA fan in attendance: he saw Eli Flair, mere seconds after taking the Nestea Plunge, pull himself to his feet. Unbelievably, as Troy attempted to climb even higher in order to deliver a more permanent finishing blow, Eli caught his ankle three quarters of the way up the cage, and held on tightly. Troy did his best to kick the King of Extreme away, but Eli held onto the cage, if not Troy’s ankle.
It left nowhere for Troy to go but the top of the cage. And in a moment that would both signal the moment of escalation for this feud, and the tremendous resilience of both men, Eli ducked Troy’s initial assault and drove the King of the Slackers to the mesh ceiling with a Slacknife of his very own, causing the top of the cage to break, and both men to fall to the ring below. This would have been Eli’s moment of triumph, if not for the fact that Troy was able to get a hand on his chest, and take home the pinfall victory.
Afterwards, as both men struggled to their feet and ignored the cheers of the fans, Eli Flair dropped Troy Windham with a right hand and a chokeslam before walking out to a stunned silence. Not only did this act mean the war would continue, but it was a clear sign to the masses that not even a mere fall through a cage would sate their lust for each others’ blood. Something had to – and would – give.``xEkppEyZEpZIPPZvZxK``x1200170707``xfeature``x53481091834249``xPete Russo``x``x

From The Peanut Gallery``xChad``xFrom the Peanut Gallery- Chairman Andrews' Retrospective on The Original Superstar... (especially in his own mind.)
"Back in the day, I used to write a column of news and views, rumors and such, called 'The Peanut Gallery'. I'm bringing it back, sort of, to get out more information on some of the key players in the DWF, not just the wrestlers, but the people behind the scenes, the announcers, backstage interviewers and people who really make the fed go... and hopefully not into the toilet..." - Chairman Andrews
'Wonderman' Waldo, from Pepper Pike, Ohio, began as a rookie wrestler, wanting to make a name for himself in the Defiant Wrestling Federation back in 1998. Waldo, not the best looking, most talented, or, quite honestly, athleticly gifted man, sought to break the mold. After one match, that mold broke... into pieces and Waldo became the benchmark for all DWF incoming wrestlers. Yes, virginia, Waldo was... and is THE Jobber in the DWF.
For the first 3 years in the DWF, Waldo made the best, and the worst, look like stars. Then in 2001, under the direction of myself and the Board Members, Waldo began to get more involved backstage, from running to get coffee, to delivering flowers to unsuspecting wrestlers, to even holding the mic for an interview. At the same time, Waldo became friends with another backstage member, 'Lighting Guy' Jimmy Floyd, another wrestler/jobber who has the heart of the lion but the size of a flea. Being cut from the same cloth, Waldo and Jimmy became inseparable, even winning the DWF Hardcore Title from each other under the 24/7 rule of 2002. Waldo and Jimmy have also taken more duties than just as backstage talent, even running the entire show for one fateful night, and have formed the 'Two-Man PowerTrip' tag team, grabbing every chance they can to get in the ring.
Waldo has come full circle in his quest to become a superstar... and to the DWF, he's one of the most important yet underappreciated superstars. He is 'The Original Superstar' Wonderman Waldo.``xEkppEyyuFZQOgAqjEE``x1200170037``xfeature``x53481091834249``xChairman Andrews``x``x

Nova took home the Ultratitle, which I feel was the granddaddy win of 2007 for anything FWrestling.com related. Rather than being accused of any bias, I'll say that Chris has done an exemplary job with the character's FW development. Furthermore, once you factor in the TEAM Champions of Champions victory over Dan Ryan, that's why I think he tops the list.
Ryan comes in a close 2nd through his A1E and CSWA title wins, and he's now positioning himself strongly in NFW and NAPW as well. I gave Hiroshi the nod over Sean Stevens because of his higher ranking in EPW than Stevens in CSWA or NFW. Both have been great World Champions for their respective feds through the last half of the year. YYJ rounded out my top 5 for finishing as the runner-up to Nova in the Ultratitle, but also making some very strong showings in TEAM.``x1``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Matthew has come close to being a tag champ in REBEL, but hasn't got the job done yet.

Thanks to all who were part of the 2007 rankings. That included several fedheads and other notables. Keep in mind that nominees were made in a post on FW Central along with their resumes for 2007. Voters had to use that list and choose their top 10.
The two standouts were clearly that. Ryan's resume for 2007 was unparalleled, while Nova was just a tick behind, literally.
A quick rundown of first place votes: it came down to a squeaker, Ryan with 5, Nova with 4 and Sean Stevens with the straggler.
In sheer points (which I couldn't include on the list to the left unfortunately), Ryan has 90 and Nova had 88 before a severe dropoff to third place. Points were calculated AP-style, with a first-place vote equal to 10 and a tenth-place vote equal to 1.
Felix Red and YYJ actually TIED with 35 points each -- unfortunately I haven't worrked out that glitch on the left either.
The list came out very diverse, with not only the FW Central leagues being included, but A1E, NAPW, PTC, etc.``x1``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

ESEN Spotlight: The Killing of the King (Part Two)``xChad``xThis is the end… my only friend, the end.
Most professional wrestling historians acknowledge FISH FUND XI: End of an Era as the biggest event in the history of the sport. Hornet would lose the Career Match to GUNS in the second night’s main event, but numerous wrestlers would cite that night as the night their careers took a sharp turn.
Certainly, Troy Windham would never be the same again.
Set to unify the EN World Tag Team Championship with the Unified Tag Team Championship, Generation X-Press, Troy Windham and his partner Shawn Matthews were set to square off against Japanese Assault, the Shotgun Shogun and the Kamikaze Kid.
There was just one problem: Shawn Matthews had quit the CSWA mere days before the event, tossing the EN World Tag Team title belts in the trash on live television. Nonplussed, Troy went to the ring, determined to defend the EN World Tag Team Championship all by himself. Truth be told, he nearly became Unified Tag Team Champion without a partner. In contrast, Eli would find more success at Fish Fund XI, retaining the Presidential Championship against ATTAXX.
The months that followed would show that, much as FISH FUND XI was the end of an era, it was also the beginning of the Troy Windham story. The King of the Slackers took the notoriety that his attack on his former tag team partner had given him and used it to build a stable around himself. This precursor to the Frat would see Troy become one of the most outspoken wrestlers on the CSWA’s roster, and, while he was still not considered one of the ‘money wrestlers’ by the major players in the sport, he was regarded highly enough to earn a shot at Eli’s CSWA Presidential Championship belt in January 1997.
The match would be the only time in history that Eli and Troy would wrestle each other with a championship on the line.
Troy came out on top in a heavy battle that saw multiple cases of interference – both on the side of the Frat and from Poison Ivy. The after – effects of the match saw the Frat lay Eli out on a table, stack another table on top of him, and drive him through both. This would put him out of action for more than a year, during which time everything that had not changed at FISH FUND XI would do so, rapidly.
Nobody knew it at the time, but the moment Eli went through the tables, war was declared.
Take my picture by the pool cause I'm the next big thing!
Shortly after Troy became the CSWA Presidential Champion, Co-Commissioners Chad Merritt and Stephen Thomas vacated every title and brought back the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship (previously supplanted by the Enterprise World Championship), and immediately began a single elimination tournament to crown the first Champion of the new era. While Troy would ultimately fall to GUNS in the semi – final round at ANNIVERSARY 1997, the King of the Slackers had taken the wrestling world by storm, not only ultimately taking the CSWA World Championship from GUNS in July of 1997, but becoming the biggest name in the UWA without wrestling a single match. Even as the CSWA shut down under the weight of the Red Midget’s apparent murder and Commissioner Merritt’s overbearing pride, Troy Windham remained in the spotlight, parlaying his status as the King of the Slackers into mainstream media exposure – one could approach the term overexposure – that turned him from a token ‘cool’ professional wrestler into a household name.
Even after the CSWA’s return in April 1998, Troy remained at the forefront of the Greensboro assault, first by defeating Mark Windham at ANNIVERSARY with the help of the newly re – formed Frat, then by insinuating himself in the World Title picture – a title he was never defeated for – by interfering in the Hornet/GUNS match designed to fill the vacancy, then by teaming with Mark in an unorthodox tag team match for the belt before a tournament was declared to settle the issue once and for all.
Unfortunately, Troy Windham’s personal demons and party habits would force him out of the CSWA as the weather started to heat up, and he would not be seen from again for nearly a year.
Or perhaps fortunately, all things considered.
I got my fist, I got my brain, I got survivalism.
Eli Flair made his return to the CSWA without a press conference, without a high profile match, and without a contract. In his absence, another wrestler had been hired under the name ‘The Eliminator,’ and Eli simply interrupted a match. In a move that would become something of a trademark, there was no fuss and no pageantry; just a course of action. Rapidly re-signed, Eli made no secret of the fact that he had returned to the CSWA for Troy Windham, though Troy’s departure and growing frustration with both the Eliminator and his trio of allies would cause the King of Extreme to radically realign his goals.
It wasn’t long before those goals found him across the ring from not only The Eliminator, but newcomer ‘Good God’ Kevin Powers, in a triangle match for the CSWA United States Championship at ELVIS LIVES XI. Eli and Powers had managed to start a relationship that wavered between enemies and rivals so closely that the only thing they hated more than each other was The Eliminator himself. Flair would come out on top in what would ultimately be the final pay per view that the Eliminator would wrestle on, with what seemed like a new set of enemies in Kevin Powers, former World Champion ‘Hurricane’ Eddy Love, and ‘Iceman’ Steve Radder, better known by the initials “PLR.”
He would soon be distracted, however, by a bigger name than he ever thought. As CSWA Anniversary 1999 approached, Eli Flair would gain access to a truly exclusive club – and he would get his hands on Hornet. In the closing moments of the final match of the IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS tournament, Eli, with a small assist from Poison Ivy, would defeat the former UNIFIED World Champion to become CSWA World Heavyweight Champion himself.
CSWA Anniversary 1999 also saw the return of Troy Windham.
If I’d listened to everything that they’d said to me I wouldn’t be here.
It should be noted that both Troy Windham and Eli Flair consistently reached the pinnacle of the sport when the other was not an active participant in whatever promotion they were in. Troy Windham won his first CSWA World Title while Eli was out with injury, and likewise, Eli’s road to the title took place while Troy was dealing with personal problems. Troy’s return at Anniversary 1999 was motivated by the escalating feud between his cousins Mark and Timmy, and the subsequent revelation that Timmy was not a Windham at all, and that Mark and Troy were actually brothers.
During the four year stretch between their most brutal matches and their final match, while Eli became a household name and multi – time World Champion in a number of promotions of varying status and global reach, and Troy cemented his status as perhaps the greatest overall wrestler to ever step into the CSWA, the silence stretched through the wrestling world and proved to even the most jaded fan that, when both men were under the same roof, other people held World Titles because they allowed it, and both men thrived on it. Even Troy’s massive ego could not cover the fact that he knew he was never as good as when Eli Flair was across the ring from him, and Eli knew, even with his reputation as one of the hardest workers in the ring, nobody was a harder fight than a man ironically nicknamed the King of the Slackers.
Fans the world over have debated endlessly over how far Eli and Troy could have gotten if they had focused the energy they used against each other on defeating World Champions, or, more unbelievably, if they had actually joined forces.
For the sake of the men and women who held championships during their greatest battles, it’s a good thing they didn’t.
Fortunately for Eli’s title reign, Troy’s return did not immediately send them against each other. The King of the Slackers insinuated himself into the breakup of tag team champions Eddy Love and Kevin Powers, forming the Playboys with Love, to combat Powers and Gabriel Poe, a team that would come to be known as the Dark Carnival. Love and Troy seemed a perfect fit, with their arrogance outmatched only by their ability. Added to the mix was Love’s manager and life partner ‘Sweet’ Melissa, and they would eventually round out with personal aide – turned – wrestler JJ DeVille, still a CSWA wrestler to this day.
But the war would find itself the night Eli defended his World Title against Eddy Love.``xEEAAuEAAlApHfETTCn``x1199423589``xfeature``x53481091834249``xPete Russo``x``x

The brand new Heavyweight Champion Aaron Shepherd isn't getting it easy since his win. After going through two gruelling matches with Kronik last month and even a match with Zak Phenom at the NeWA supercard, he now finds himself facing The Wraith where the title will be on the line. Will Shepherd be able to stand another huge gruelling match or will his body not be able to take anymore? The fact that these two men have never met one-on-one before should makes this match very interesting indeed.``xMatch One: Triple Threat Match Carnage vs Peter Lenex vs Zeon Mannix
The veteran and accomplished wrestler of Peter Lenex makes his debut in the XOW against Carnage and Zeon Mannix in a triple threat match this Cyberslam. Wherever Peter Lenex goes he makes an impact and that's exactly what he looks to do here. Carnage and Zeon both have a challenge on their hands against the veteran.
Match Two: Tag Team Match Human Revolution vs The Icon Scott Adams
The new team of Human Revolution looked mighty impressive at the last Cyberslam but this time they have an even bigger challenge on their hands. They find themselves against the Internet Champion The Icon and Scott Adams who are hungry for victory. It has also been rumoured that Scott Adams has a little message to give to The Big Shot at Cyberslam.
Match Three: Singles Match Kronik vs The Phoenix
The former Heavyweight Champion has already declared for a rematch for the title but management have announced that he has to wait. This did not go down too well with the big man who is now more angered then ever. He will look to take his frustrations out on The Phoenix who could well find himself in hell.
Match Four: Tag Team Match: Non-Title Match Samoan Island Tribe vs Sally Screw Zak Phenom
The Tag Team Champions are in action for the first time since winning the belts at Rage in a Cage. They find themselves against two of XOW's top stars Sally Screw and Zak Phenom. The champions have shown their domination, but whether they can use this against the fine skills of both of these competitors remains to be told.``xUnknown``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xXOW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x01.15.2008``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/xow``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

NAPW news to kick-off the New Year!``xnapw``x2007 ended with a bang for New Alberta Pro Wrestling. After a short holiday break, NAPW returns on 1/22 in Calgary and 1/29 in Edmonton!
ONE NIGHT ONLY
The biggest news to start 2008 is clearly the one-night reunion of THE NEW & IMPROVED D-X. It was one year ago that Stylin' Kyle Roberts turned his back on Bruce "The Beast" Richards. The two engaged in a bloody feud and then Kyle Roberts packed his bags and headed off to REBEL Pro Wrestling. Both Roberts and Richards attained top singles gold in their respective promotions over the year.
Interestingly enough, both members of D-X engaged in separate feuds with Donovan Astros. The issues between Richards, Roberts and Astros (and now Jake Phoenix) have led to the one-night reunion of D-X to take on the MURDER CITY DEVILS of Astros and Phoenix on the 1/29 card! This will be one of the biggest matches in NAPW history. The question is, what kind of teamwork will Roberts and Richards be able to display, especially with all the bad blood that still exists between them? After all... Never Trust The Beast.
END OF YEAR INJURY REPORT
-The Expositioner, thanks to a brutal attack from the Sexy Adorable Drunks, had to undergo an emergency tracheometry in the aftermath of Black Thursday III. NAPW-Online has learned that Expositioner was recently discharged from the hospital but is far from being medically cleared to wrestle.
-Andrew Rossi has returned to his home in New York to recuperate from the severe neck injury he suffered at the hands of Dan Ryan.
-Dez Carter is dealing with a sore shoulder, but will not miss any time.
-Bruce "The Beast" Richards is experiencing a flare-up in his old knee injury, but should be ready to go for the 1/22 card.
RUMOURS
-Ian Smith, new manager to tag champions Sexy Adorable Drunks, apparently isn't done recruiting NAPW wrestlers into his camp. NAPW-online can confirm that Smith has contacted several top talent and made offers to join his management company Smith, Inc. Ian's first act in NAPW gained the SAD the tag titles, no doubt several performers are interested in what Smith could do for their careers.
-Rumour has it that "The Show" Chad Kurtis will return to NAPW in the new year. The Show has been on a personal leave of absence. When and where will he make his impact?
-"American Nightmare" Matthew Kurtis has been negotiating with NAPW management to end his indefinite suspension, but so far no deal has been reached.
-A third Murder City Devil? Sources say that world champion Donovan Astros and Jake Phoenix have a hidden ally in the NAPW ranks.
-Chris Casino return? Not likely, but that doesn't stop fans from hoping.

NEW YEAR'S PREDICTIONS
-Mystic Ninja will turn the unfortunate loss of his partner to injury into a singles title run.
-A superstar from NAPW's past will return at Sole Survivor III.
-The New & Improved D-X will reunite for more than "one night only" and add a sixth tag title reign to their dynasty.
-Stone Zellor will continue to set NAPW records. But he will be beaten for the Heritage Title before May...
-The Canada Cup will be won by one of NAPW's newest wrestlers.
-Prince W. Darko will find a partner and finally win the NAPW tag titles that have eluded him his entire pro career.
-A new wrestler will join the Triple-Crown club by adding the World Title to his other title reigns...
-Odyssey Baldwin will bring in one of his famous "brothers" to support Coast 2 Coast. Hopefully not Stephen.
-Donovan Astros and Jake Phoenix will win the tag titles as the MURDER CITY DEVILS.
-Dan Ryan will be the man to beat in the Sole Survivor 30-man rumble match-up.
-NAPW will see more females wrestle in 2008 than ever. Which is to say, there has never been an actual women's wrestling match in NAPW. The only exception is Lyndsey Valentine competing in a couple battle royales and an eight-"man" tag.
-A new faction will form that will at one point, hold all the NAPW titles at once.

Welcome to the NEW FWrestling.com``xChad``xHappy 2008! And welcome to the NEW FWrestling.com! (The site still needs a few additional graphics and tweaks, but I think it’s safe enough to throw out for you to play with.)
I’ve had the chance to say that a few times over the last 10 years. Yes, I said TEN YEARS. More on that in a second. First of all, thanks to those who have played a role in getting this site done, most especially Jon Katz. Others of you, like Pete Russo, Jeremy Chaplin, Jarrett Aubry, have been involved in adding content, creating graphics on the fly and helping check over my concepts and giving your feedback.
My hope is that you’ll find the new site a complement to not only the FW Central boards, but also to the other sites that are out there. I also hope you’ll realize that the content depends on YOU and can be used to enhance your league, character and storylines. Please feel free to give your feedback (including comments on features and stories directly on the main page) as well as suggestions for what can be added or made better. To learn more about what you can do on the site, be sure to take a look at the new FAQ.
For those of you who may not be aware, the site’s roots reach all the way back to the PRODIGY online service and the community of leagues there in the early 1990s. The original FW Central started as a news digest for those league in 1994. In April 1998, FantasyWrestling.com was born as a stand-online site featuring the CSWA and as a complement site to 1Wrestling.com, for which Steve Thomas and I were the original webmasters. A server crash and domain name sale in 2001 led to the slight shift to FWrestling.com.
You are on the longest-running and most-visited site devoted to fantasy wrestling on the internet. Each month, FWrestling.com receives millions of page views, hosts hundreds of web accounts and plays proud host to incredible roleplay and angles as they play out in leagues like the NFW, NEW, EPW and TEAM. With all due respect to current and recent sites like EWZine, EWN and EWPlanet, old favorites like FWLnet/IWOonline, DWW and E-Wrestling Zone, plus other long-running behemoths like RoughKut (all tremendous sites in their own right), there simply is no site that provides more visibility, credibility and durability than FWrestling.com.
Still…. Even Better Than The Real Thing.

ESEN Spotlight: The Killing of the King``xChad``x“Eli Flair? He’s the Epitome’s footnote. He’s the also – ran to my name in lights. Don’t think I’m trippin’ - we fought wars in the ring, we changed the business more times than I own property. He’s a legend, he’s just not Troy. But is it really that bad, being second best to Mr. CSWA?” – Troy Windham
“I think there’s a Troy Windham somewhere in every walk of life – a ridiculously talented individual who makes it to the pinnacle without a shred of respect for the people who paved the way. Troy’s deserved every bit of fame he’s gotten, I just wish he could’ve realized that he didn’t do it all on his own.” – Eli Flair
They headlined only one show in professional wrestling history against each other, and were constantly overshadowed by other matches and feuds of the day. However, there was perhaps no other instance in the history of this sport where two men not only brutalized each other with this much intensity, but were so eager to step in the ring against each other one more time.
With CSWA GOLD RUSH officially in the books, the war that waged between ‘The Epitome’ Troy Windham and ‘Total Elimination’ Eli Flair has officially come to an end as Flair has retired from the sport. But this was no ordinary feud. This feud crossed promotional lines, like many others. This feud involved championships, like many others. This feud involved personal slights, backstabs and sneak attacks, like many others. This feud changed both men forever and scarred innocent bystanders forever, like many others.
And yet, this feud was unlike anything else professional wrestling has ever seen, and potentially will ever see. This feud was between two of the most evenly matched wrestlers in the history of the sport.
ESEN SPOTLIGHT THE KILLING OF THE KING EXTREME VS SLACKER ELI FLAIR VS TROY WINDHAM
Individually, Eli Flair and Troy Windham are two of the greatest wrestlers that the world has ever seen. They are both World Champions many times over. Both could cut a promo to cut right through anyone unfortunate enough to be their next opponent. Both could both dish out and take incredible amounts of punishment in any type of match, and both were revered at one time or another as the absolute best the business had to offer.
In a way, these two men were as similar as they were different. A staredown between them was like staring into a broken mirror.
First there was Troy…
Troy Windham started his career first, a skinny, nineteen year old rookie who was just the latest Windham to enter the sport of professional wrestling. The year was 1993, and Troy joined two men he knew of as his cousins in Greensboro’s finest export. He had a rough go of it at first, because, while he had all the skills necessary to prove he belonged in the CSWA, he was still considered a Windham, employed solely because of Mark Windham. By that time, Mark Windham was both a four – time CSWA United States Champion and former National Champion, and was part of America’s Team, at that time the most visible partnership in the company.
If there was any quit in Troy’s being, it would have manifested during that first year. He dealt with opponents who did what they could to bury him, fans that compared everything he did to his cousin Mark and, later, ‘The Muppet Kid’ Timmy Windham who would shock the world by defeating Mike Randalls for the Enterprise World Championship. He dealt with rumors of nepotism and favoritism and enjoyed almost zero respect from the rest of the company during this space of time.
All the while, he continued to wrestle as often as possible against as many unforgiving opponents as he could. The seeds for what would one day define Troy Windham were sown in that first year. Troy learned that the business was a cold, cruel place, and that any recognition he was to gain, he would have to fight for. So precious was that small bit of respect that, once he had won his first title a year later with his Greensboro Championship victory against Bonecrusher, he had already vowed to himself to never share that respect with anyone else.
Unfortunately, the man who was, very soon, to be known as the King of the Slackers, was once again overshadowed by the wars fought between and among Hornet, Mike Randalls, and his own cousin Mark. Troy would lose the Greensboro title to ‘Nine Inch Nail’ Kevin Dunlap, and ultimately find himself mired in the same limbo all competent, capable wrestlers find themselves when the company doesn’t know what to do with them: mired in tag teams. He would team with Junior Hornet in Crazy Like a Slacker, as well as ‘Showtime’ Shawn Matthews in Generation X-Press. It was in this second team that he would finally find his traction in the CSWA, as Generation X-Press found themselves the EN World Tag Team Champions headed into the biggest event in professional wrestling history, CSWA Fish Fund XI: End of an Era.
Then there was Eli…
The man who would come to be known as the Original Nobody had a slightly different path to the feud that would ultimately define him. Eli Flair began his career in less mainstream surroundings: a gym in the Bronx. He started in the winter of 1994 in the independent promotion headquartered two blocks from his meager apartment, and slowly worked his way to success in a string of regional promotions that dovetailed from New York to Arizona, with a few notable stops along the way. It was the Arizona based PYBA company that he first tasted gold, as the company’s United States champion for the final four months of its existence. While he managed to make a name for himself in the underground rumor mill as a consummate professional, Eli’s big break would come with the announcement of the 1995 ULTRATITLE tournament.
A far cry from New Frontier Wrestling’s innovative, groundbreaking Seasons format of the past few years, the 1995 ULTRATITLE was a two hundred and fifty six wrestler single elimination tournament, with the ultimate prize; aside from the Ultratitle itself; being a shot at the Unified World Championship that, at the time, was held by Hornet.
Yes, that Hornet.
At the time, the Unified Title was a championship recognized across promotional boundaries. The Unified Title was a belt that was even more revered than the most successful promotion’s World Championship. After all, a World Title meant you were the absolute best that that promotion had to offer at that time, but the Unified Title meant that you were the best over a span of wrestling companies. Hornet had built the title himself over the course of the CSWA’s rise from Greensboro’s best kept secret to the most successful wrestling company in recorded history, and was the most visible icon that the company had had through the course of its seven year history to date.
The man who would one day be known as the King of Extreme fought his way to the Sweet Sixteen, where he was eliminated by former five – time PYBA World Heavyweight Champion, and future Unified World Champion JT Tyler. But it was enough for him to get his foot in the door.
Eli, then known simply as The Eliminator, had a decent enough showing during the 1995 Ultratitle to be offered a CSWA contract which he snapped up in a hurry. He spent his first few months showing off his skills, until the CSWA decided to resurrect a defunct championship at ELVIS LIVES CELEBRATION IX: Disney Days.
His first taste of gold would nearly bring him to the history books in and of itself, as Eli would hold the CSWA IntraContinental championship for a near – record – setting eight months. Eli defended his belt against all comers in any type of match from the moment he won the belt through CSWA Anniversary 1996, where he voluntarily vacated the belt three weeks shy of Joey Melton’s record in hopes of moving up the card.
He would do so following that spring’s CSWA Battle of the Belts XIV, where he took the CSWA Presidential Championship from perennial top contender Jack ‘Summer’ Samson. With the not – yet – legendary Poison Ivy in his corner, The Eliminator looked to be unstoppable as he entered the fall of 1996 with his sights set on Fish Fund Park Arena, and old rival ATTAXX.

Eron Gets Closure``xChad``xWhen it came to E-Wrestling, there were three things that were more important to me than anything else.
The first, was that I became known. That was huge. I didn’t want to be one of those guys who writes and writes and gets absolutely no feedback or attention from it. That is why I always spent my time in well known e-feds. I went to Toronto Championship Wrestling (TCW) in 1998 because I knew it was a Farm League to the Fans Wrestling Organization (fWo). I knew if I was going to get noticed anywhere, it would be there. I also had a very short stint in the WWR, but when I seen my abilities would never be noticed, I quit very quickly. That was one of the last Roleplay feds I ever worked in, and that was 2001. I was in the fWo, and after the fWo, I was in jOlt Wrestling because I knew with the people around me we could *create* attention. Since 2000 I’ve been a household name in E-Wrestling, at least in the circle I participated in. In 2002 I even scratched the RSPWF Top 100 just out of notoriety. I accomplished being known.
Second, was my writing ability. I had to be a good writer. If my writing was not improving or I was not writing anything I was proud of, I had to stop and go do something else. Once E-Wrestling moved into being an exercise of creative writing, I wanted to ensure I wrote as fascinating or as interesting as I believed my own mind was. I think, at least in spurts, I accomplished that.
Finally, the third most important thing was to be happy and interested. When the fun stops, I stop. Even if I was angry about something, if it was an anger that kept me interested in everything, I stayed. I retired a few times, but it was always because the fun and interest stopped. Things have brought me back, but since 2006, I can safely say I have not been interested in anything, or had fun. The last time I had fun, and was interested, was the CSWA Gold Rush.
CSWA Gold Rush was an interesting thing for me. I never participated in CSWA before. Hell, as I said, I hadn’t roleplayed for a roleplay fed since 2001, and though I pulled off a good finish in a Battle Royale (Wow, what a coincidence), that was a long time ago. I knew a few people who came from the CSWA parts, but I never exactly had a positive relationship with them. The only person I ever had a good series of conversations with was Warren (Deacon), though I did once feud with Pete (Eli Flair) in the fWo. I considered it the first serious challenge I had faced in E-Wrestling in a long time. For starters, I didn’t belong. Second, I hadn’t roleplayed in a very long time. Finally, I didn’t have my reputation to fall back on anymore. These guys couldn’t give a rats ass who I was or what I had accomplished. These were people who had been participating in the CSWA since the early 90’s. If I was going to get anything, I had better earn it. It was a challenge. I wanted that challenge.
When I first started, my roleplays resembled someone who didn’t take things very serious. They were stock roleplays, the kind of thing you do without very much thought or creativity. Heel 101. A good friend of mine, John Carroll, was also in the Gold Rush as Voran Xias, and he too was doing stock roleplays. It wasn’t until I started seeing more material from those writing, especially Troy Windham, that I knew that just wasn’t going to f***ing cut it. I was relying on the fact that maybe I would get far just by being Eron the Relentless. Maybe I would stick around just because of my small footnote of history with Eli Flair.
After realizing the series I had back and forth with Windham was subpar, I wrote “Focused Explosions”. It was my proudest piece of EW writing to date, and I knew from then on, I had my A Game. Overall, once roleplaying was over, I honestly felt proud of myself. Proud of what I did. I knew, whatever happened, wherever I ended up in the Gold Rush, I would be satisfied. I proved what I could do.
Then… the wait.
F***. The wait was worse than waiting for Trent Reznor to release a new Nine Inch Nails album. And it wasn’t even near as long!
However, once it came, I was impressed, and once it was finally complete, the same feeling I had finishing “Focused Explosions” came to me, as I was the last person to be eliminated for Troy Windham to win the Gold Rush. I ruined Eli Flair’s final moment. I lasted longer than many CSWA Legends, people who developed great, illustrious careers in this federation. For one night, one event, CSWA knew who Eron the Relentless was and what he was capable of.
As I took a backseat to Dan Ryan vs. Troy Windham, a quick yet emotional main event to the Gold Rush to give it the happy ending it deserved, I felt good. I contributed to the CSWA. Even just for one night and a handful of RP’s, after a near two decade history, I was able to place my small paintstroke on their masterpiece.
In the end, I got my notoriety, my writing accomplishment and my enjoyment.
Even if I never come back to this E-Wrestling thing, it is okay. I got my closure. I hope that CSWA did too. Or maybe not. Maybe the story is not over for the both of us. ``xEEAAEZEupkZFuMqcsT``x1199175002``xfeature``x53481091834249``xAaron W.``x``x

What is ESEN?``xChad``xESEN TV was created in 2000 as part of the inception story for New Frontier Wrestling, which is a veteran federation of the FWrestling.com website. In story, Extreme Sports Entertainment Network was founded by Craig Miles and over the last seven years has grown into a multimedia conglomerate. The station focuses on broadcasting several FWrestling.com related federations such as NFW, CSWA and TEAM as well as the animated series "The Adventures of the Craig Miles Professional Heel Academy." Other programming includes classic feds from our Prodigy Internet roots such as the AAWC, UWA and the classic cartoon series, "Hornet's Heroes," including the 2-hour straight-to-video cassette movie featuring Mark Windham's only appearance on the early 1990's show.
Our current goal in 2008 will be to expand ESEN's involvement and interaction with feds currently using FWrestling.com's web site. We're currently accepting applications to join the network. Benefits of joining the ESEN TV team would be the availability of some special graphics, more feature articles on the front page, as well as various cross-promotional projects. The projects may include some small interfed events, or the larger scale idea of using the Ultratitle Trophy for an interfed tournament.

A1E Sale Update``xBeast``xNovember 6th, 2007
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (AP) - Update on the potential sale of wrestling organization A1 Entertainment (A1E).
The inside source on this breaking situation now reports that the sale of A1E is imminent. Last week, it was reported that half of the A1E Board of Directors had changed their stance regarding the sale of the wrestling company, causing an even split across executive lines, but we have just learned that another three Board members have apparently been persuaded to change their minds in favor of the sale, leaving only two members still opposed.
The only question that remains is exactly who is behind the sale.
A1E Commissioner Nathan Houston could not be reached for comment, but was said to be extremely disappointed. Expect to hear more from the Commissioner on Friday night's airing of Warfare, on the Ocho.
More updates as they become available.``xEEAuFyZVAyaMMYrFUS``x1194371196``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.a1e.ca``xSale Of A1E Complete?``x``xa1e88x31.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x16439``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xA1E``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xTrue``x``x``x``x

Rumored Return to TV?``xChad``xThe once-vaunted giant in the sport, the CSWA almost disappeared from public view earlier this year with the loss of their television deal with U-62. Rumors are surfacing that the nineteen-year old company may have a final deal in the works to return to television.
The CSWA's distribution deal with U-62 came to an end following the CSWA ANNIVERSARY: Coming of Age event last year which celebrated the league's eighteenth anniversary and featured the five-ring GOLD RUSH spectacle. Normally a pay-per-view, U-62 accepted the ANNIVERSARY event as payment for several missed deadlines for original content. Word within the CSWA at the time blamed the missed deadlines on the events held on the PRIMETIME POOLJAM tour held aboard a cruise liner -- instead of taping five shows for air, significant edits only allowed for two new shows.
The CSWA ran into considerable financial pressure following the Tour. In addition to the pressure from U-62, the CSWA was financially responsible for the apparent hijacking of the cruise liner itself, resulting in lawsuits and red ink. While the ANNIVERSARY event was a ratings success, much of the revenue went to pay back U-62 and sponsors. The CSWA scaled back its house shows, opting to tape more content at fewer dates.

Hostile Hangover weekend news wrap-up``xnapw``xWorld Title Defense?
Jason Cruise has a world title shot. How did this happen? It turns out that The Beast's first title defense was not scheduled until 10/31 at Anniversary Assault. When the new champion learned this, he demanded that he would defend on 10/23 and be a fighting champion. The Beast posted an open contract for a title shot in the locker room. Ever the opportunist, Jason Cruise was the first man on the scene and he signed his name for a World Title shot!
This is a huge opportunity for the returning Cruise, but can he take down the new world champion? Certainly Dez Carter wants a piece of Cruise... it could be Jason Cruise defending the world title against Dez Carter on 10/31! It could be The Beast defending against Andrew Rossi! So many possibilities. Stay tuned wrestling fans!
Tons of news!
Coming out of Hostile Hangover II weekend there is a great deal to report here in NAPW. Of course last night all three titles changed hands. The Beast is the new World Champion, Prince Darko the new Heritage Champion, and Mystic Exposition the new tag team champions. -Link Van Haggard has been fined heavily for putting his hands on an official.

The Ivy League: I WAS THERE``xhexedangel``xI was there in 99 when there were twelve men spread out amongst four cages and a big guy named Lucky broke through a wall to give his boy access to his enemy.
I was there in double-zero when the loud manager and the bodyguard were both bounced, and a respect match ended in a stalemate, won by technicality only.
I was there in oh-one, when a fight spread from the ring to the loading dock to the bar across the street to the buffet room and everything inbetween, and the end of the feud sparked the beginning of the family.
And you can bet your ass I was there just the other night, when he defeated a bonafide legend and a legend in the making to become World Champion.
It's no surprise to anyone that I'm a big 'Triple X' Sean Stevens fan. But I've always been a big 'Triple X' Sean Stevens fan.
Does that surprise you?
In my twelve years as an active participant in the sport of professional wrestling, it was next to impossible to impress me. It's not a slight on any of the boys who came of age in that span, but Greensboro, from 95 to 96, was one of the hottest places to be in the history of the sport and I was spoiled for impact fairly early on. Since then, not even the Craig Miles-esque run of whiskey I've been on has blurred the names of those who succeeded.
Eddy Love impressed me.
Deacon impressed me.
JJ DeVille impressed me.
Lance Knight impressed me.
Rana Venenosa impressed me.
Triple X impressed me.
Looking back, it's obvious, but at the time I couldn't figure it out. Here was a cocky, confident, blonde, blue - eyed badass who had all the signs of being a gasoline - soaked rag. Instant heat, gigantic flareup, but quick to burn out. I first encountered him in a promotion that's deceased to all but those of us who were there, Hardcore Extreme Wrestling. He was a tremendously skilled wrestler who had that elusive it going for him, that sense that he could turn the crowd on and off on command depending on what he wanted them to do. He had Big Lucky in his corner as his bodyguard, a move that always struck me as a little off - if he was so damned good why did he need someone bigger than him to protect him - but the juxtaposition worked. He never seemed to 'turn off' in the locker room, which really bothered a lot of the others. Who was this kid from Orlando who was so flippin' awesome he could afford to have such a huge ego around his peers? I assumed he just didn't know how to act around other wrestlers - very few people had a Terry Cooper in their past who really stressed the locker room equality that is so rare in the actual game itself. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and made an overture. I was partly right, he had been part of the cutthroat end of professional wrestling that didn't engender itself to dealing with locker rooms, but he was also convinced of his overwhelming greatness early on.
After his first match with Eli Flair, not so much.
My first real conversation with Sean Stevens - not Triple X - happened after that match. Eli and I had returned to the hotel for a few hours of sleep before shipping out to wherever else we were headed that week, and while Eli was the beaten - up one who needed icepacks and sleep, I was ready to join the rest of the boys in the hotel bar for a few rounds before making my way up the stairs myself. But I barely started on my drink when I saw that same blue - eyed badass sitting in the corner, sulking. So I sat down across from him and stared at him until he made eye contact. I knew exactly what was on his mind, too.
"I'm the fucking man, but I went out there and Flair took me to school."
So I talked to him for about ten minutes. Maybe it was egotistical of me, but I'd spent four years rubbing elbows with the Meltons, the Hornets, the Windhams, the Randalls, the PLRs and Billy Starrs, and I had the ear of the people who did matter at the time, and I thought I knew what I was talking about. I told him that the first humbling experience is always the worst, but that he should see what he can take from it to make the inevitable second time sting a lot less and spin it off into a character direction. I told him all about Eli's experience with a big, marginally talented rookie named Platoon who did something similar in the fall of 1994 and how he was able to get it going the other way.
It would take two additional promotions and over a year for he and I, Lucky and I, or he and Eli to really wade through all the bullshit and become friends, but the fact that I saw him go out and do exactly what I suggested he do - and do it a lot better than anyone gave him credit for - made me realize he was okay.
Of course, in one of those twists of irony, one of the first promos he ever cut on Eli and I involved him telling me how I'd bear his children someday. Fate is not without a sense of humor.
The rest of the story is pretty well documented. Trip and I reconnected in the legendary CWL and finally - obvious to everyone except us - we got together in 2002 on the fWo's European tour. It's funny, I spent seven years completely denying that part of myself, denying the relationships, denying the loneliness of the road, all in the name of establishing myself as a legitimate voice in this business. The isolated nights were the result of that loneliness boiling over, and my relationship with Hornet was always more of an on - camera thing that became a off - camera thing, as opposed to an actual relationship. Nothing against the time I spent with him, Paul and I have buried the past and I'm proud to consider him one of my close friends, but it was like day and night.
For the first time in my life, I was with someone who didn't give a flying monkey's butt that I was Poison Ivy, the Psycho Bitch. I was with someone who didn't care that I was in The Man's corner, had the booker's attention, and commanded an army of loyal Internet fanboys who read these columns like the fifth Gospel. Sean Stevens wanted to be with Ivy Lillian McGinnis. He met my mom before she died, he got to know my brother and his wife and kids, he listened to Coop talk shop without telling him he was rambling. He came to see Valerian's Garden play at FTN on an all - too - rare night off, solely because he was interested in what I was going to offer them.
He was my stabilizer, the man who made me whole. He was the only man I had ever known who could both coddle and spoil me and treat me like a princess and a lady, and at the same time never feel threatened by being the boyfriend of one of the most independent, opinionated, and vocal women that his industry had ever known.
My time with Eli has been the best time in my life. We had some serious heat in the spring and summer of 2004 when Disney had taken over the fWo and I was in the office, but other than that everything he and I did together, both with and against each other, was some of the most brilliant work that two people have ever put down in an arena, and I will defend that to my dying day. The time I spent with Sean and Lance Knight, as Team EQ, the Equalizers, was the most fun I've ever had in this sport. I talked, but I didn't have to talk. I did promo work, but I didn't have to do promo work. It wasn't like me and Eli where everyone expected both of us to go over the top - Sean and Alex didn't need me there at all. They asked me to be there because they trusted me and they wanted me at ringside with them.
I've never forgotten that, and in a lot of ways, I've never repaid them for that.
Officially, I'm retired from professional wrestling. Officially, Poison Ivy's last night in the business was NFW Wrestlebowl 2 night 2 when Dan Ryan pinned Eli Flair to close out Team Extreme's thirteen year run of terror. Officially, the last official act Poison Ivy performed was to write a column for the NFW titled 'Ninja Vanish' to close out Eli Flair's career. Poison Ivy has to be Ivy McGinnis, manager of Valerian's Garden these days. Poison Ivy has to be mommy to Shannon Joseph Stevens these days. She doesn't have time to be the Ol' Perfessor, the Psycho Bitch, the Manager of Champions, and all the other nicknames these days.
But the other night, when Triple X Sean Stevens defeated Joey Melton and Lindsay Troy to become Empire Pro World Heavyweight Champion, Poison Ivy was there. She didn't make much noise, and she watched a wrestling show from start to finish in the stands for the first time since 1993, but Poison Ivy was there.
And she remembered the Blue - Eyed Badass coming to the ring with or without that insufferable ego, determined to give the fans a show.
And she remembered the Blue - Eyed Badass defending her honor against Spyder and Eron and everyone inbetween.
And she remembered the Blue - Eyed Badass busting his ass to get to a little town in Wyoming so he could be there for the birth of their son.
And she remembered the most important thing about professional wrestling - you can never really tell who's going to make it until they do.
I don't honestly know if Miz McGinnis, mommy, booker, and analyst, or Poison Ivy, psycho bitch and pain in the ass is typing this out today. But both of us were there for Triple X's defining moments. Both of us were there for Triple X's coming of age in promotions both tall and small. And both of us are really, really proud of Sean Stevens.
This is Ivy.``xEEApZZEEkuKgWFeQHo``x1190774724``xnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/host/EmpirePro/``xThere's a new EPW World Champion, and it was significant enough to the retired Poison Ivy for her to write a new column.``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xEPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Yukon Gold & Link Van Haggard d. Phoenix & Deathrow -The tag champs Phoenix & Deathrow end up teaming in the random tag pairings. Yukon Gold and Link Van Haggard score an upset over the tag champs non-title. Billy Kryenik attacked Tommy Deathrow in the crowd, leading to Yukon and Link finally putting the big man Phoenix down with several chair shots. Post-match, Link Van Haggard and his new partner Odyssey Baldwin turned on Yukon Gold and Randy London.
Randy London & Al B. Damned d. Ravager & Kevin Kodiak -In the biggest upset of the evening, London and Damned were able to get by former world champ Ravager and the powerhouse Kevin Kodiak when "LDK" Lloyd Rees snuck in and decimated Ravager with a Nish J Drop, then putting Damned over top of the man!
Murcielago & Sebastien Martyr d. Billy Kryenik & Matthew Kurtis -Murcielago and Martyr were a successful unit, pinning Kryenik definitively. A disgusted Kurtis hit his bluegrass bomb on Kryenik after the loss.
Dez Carter and Chad Kurtis d. Simply Beautiful & Jeff Garvin (DQ) -On a night of shocks, this was perhaps the most shocking. Dez Carter seemingly had the match won when Simply Beautiful broke it up. Long-time enemies SB and Garvin began to argue, until SB blindsided Carter. SB and Garvin attempted to end Carter's career and got disqualified. They then took it out on the referees, slapping submissions on both Morgan Smythe and Dick Kiebiech!
Stone Zellor d. Jeff James to retain the Heritage title -After the match, former REBEL Pro tag champion PRINCE DARKO came out and announced he had signed a singles contract with NAPW, and that he was targetting Stone's Heritage title!
Battlebowl -Sebastien Martyr won the Battlebowl and world title shot by eliminating Yukon Gold with an assist from Al B Damned.

MCW: Let the revival begin!!!!!``xRatt2004``xHey there, MCW Owner Adams here. After a year-long sabattical, MCW has returned to the efed world. MCW started in 2001 among a group of my friends and quickly spread out to get more people. Late last year, I had to put it under control of another efedder who quickly shut the fed down. Now, I am ready to revive it for another run.
As of right now, there are only 4 memebers on the roster (I have yet to hear back from anybody else who might want to come back for the revival). We are always looking for members to join and help us out. Whether it is to bring a character in, to help out with cardwriting, or anything else, the door is always open.
Feel free to check the page out or even send me an email. LATER!

Donovan Astros ends Ravager's epic title reign!``xnapw``xIn a stunning match-up, Donovan Astros defeated Ravager tonight, July 31st, to become the new NAPW Champion. Ravager had held the title from February 5th, 2007 and had racked up a record 10 title defenses.
The champion entered the match-up with several broken ribs, a good-bye present from Jade and Karnage one week before this contest. Yet there was no quit in Ravager as he and Astros went toe to toe. Despite being bloodied both on the forehead and internally, evidenced by the blood coming from the mouth, Ravager kicked out of the Astrocide to the shock and delight of the Calgary fans. One Last Resort later, and the champion retained for the 11th time.
Or so the fans though.
Astros himself summoned up an incredible will to win. He caught Ravager going to the top rope with devastating shots to the injured ribs, and then was able to connect with a sickening top-rope Astrocide. And that was enough to finally put away Ravager and end his epic title reign. Fittingly, the Calgary fans chanted "Thank You, Ravager!" after the contest was concluded.
As NAPW Champion, Ravager came to define NAPW's hard-hitting, competitive style with tenacity, honor and integrity. What kind of champion will Donovan Astros be? Only time will tell, but the measuring stick for NAPW champion has been set forever high by Ravager.
Astros now takes the NAPW title overseas, where it will be defended as part of ECFW's world tour. Astros can make his mark early, by successfully defending the title around the world and making it the NAPW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. Stay tuned. ``xEElVAVEAkAgYYQNhsI``x1185955529``xoldnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``xIn a shocker, Donovan Astros ended the 25-week NAPW title reign of the seemingly unbeatable Ravager with a top-rope Astrocide in a tremendous match, a potential NAPW MOTY candidate.``x``xnapw_event.jpg``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Anarchy in the UK! Huge NFW Announcement!``xNFW``xThe wait is over, the buzzing beehive of questions still are awaiting answers and with a rumored roster expansion of 20 wrestlers, New Frontier Wrestling announced this morning that it has scheduled a trip to the United Kingdom to kick off what's been labeled as the v.3 era.
The BBC Sport reported that Craig Miles had been seen in London and Liverpool, schmoozing with local promoters and television affiliates late Monday evening. In complete contrast to superstar David Beckham's arrival in the USA, several venues and even Wembley Stadium have been contacted by thousands of fans inquiring about possible future dates for New Frontier Wrestling's first wrestling event in the United Kingdom since 2003. Rumors swirled throughout the week about Miles' party-crashing activities, as well as attending a local Joe Campbell and The Brock Estell Chocolate Thunder Destroyers punk rock rave. Miles was also seen headbutting Amy Winehouse in the face after she drunkenly kneed him in the balls, after accusing him of never calling her back.
...they were also seen leaving in the same cab that night...
This morning, ESEN Sports released a statement to BBC confirming that this Saturday, Craig Miles would hold a press conference announcing that New Frontier Wrestling will be holding at least three intimate house shows and possibly the first Crash Television of the v.3 era on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Furthermore, The Star, The Sun and The Guardian Sports sections all possessed full page ads for an impending "British Invasion," altering several famous British 60's and 70's era rock band album covers with their own legends as well as newcomers.
Currently, New Frontier Wrestling's talent and scouting department over clocking has resulted in a formidable cast of diversified newcomers, superstars and legends. What remains to be seen is WHO will be seen in the U.K., as all wrestlers are required to pass their medical examinations (not hard in NFW, obviously) as well as get an on-air promotional piece.
Tomorrow, the future comes, but for now. . . the wait is even more intensely speculated.``xEEluAukpyFLoKlIpHr``x1184945663``xoldnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com/``xThe wait is over, the buzzing beehive of questions await to be answered and with a rumored roster expansion of 20 wrestlers, New Frontier Wrestling announced this morning that it has scheduled a trip to the United Kingdom to kick off what's been labeled as the v.3 era.``x``xnfwnews.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

WCCW announces First events and New Commissioner.``xwccw_fed``xTORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA – Earlier this week, WCCW CEO/Owner James D. Vickers announced that the first major Supercard for World Cyber Championship Wrestling will be named 'Break The Barrier' to be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, NY. No confirmed date has been announced as of yet, however a few matches has already been announced.
Matches confirmed has been a Six-way 'Mayhem Match' to crown the 1st WCCW All-Pro Independent champion, one of two WCCW unique championships. This match is interesting due to the fact that it involves six wrestlers (two in the ring, four at the turnbuckles) and tags are not needed as when one wrestler leaves the ring, another can just come in. This match will also be conducted under rules similar to the in-famous Ring Of Honor 'Pure Wrestling Rules'. The Finals of a 8 Man tournament to crown WCCW's International Television champion has also been signed as well as a Three-way Tag-team 'Ultimate Endurance' match has also been added to determined the 1st World Grand Prix Tag-Team Champions. The 'Ultimate Endurance Match' is an unique elimination-style match that typically includes three or four tag teams. It starts off with a particular set of special stipulations (for instance, falls count anywhere). Every time one team is eliminated, the stipulations change. The stipulations are predetermined and are not limited to any specific type. And, Of course, The Main Event will be the finals of a 24 person 'Triple Crown' Tournament. This Match will be the in-famous' 'Three-Way Dance', an elimination Style Triple Threat Match with two Falls, in which the winner will be named the first ever WCCW World Triple Crown Champion.
WCCW's 1st weekly event, warzone has been confirmed as well. Although no date has yet been announced as well, however, this event will be held in the 'Golden Dome' in Monaca, Pennsylvania. Seven Matches has been slated for the Event, with the Main Event being a Six-way 'Ultimate X Match' To crown the 1st Xtreme Underground Champion, the second of WCCW's two unique championships. For those who are not familar with the 'Ultimate X Match' , it is A match that has an 'X' formed above the ring with wires from metal poles outside the ring in each corner. Similarly to the Ladder match, the Xtreme Underground championship belt will be placed in the center of the X. The winner is the first person to take possession of the Title. Due to the Chaotic nature of this title, this Main Event promises to be wild one.
JD Vickers and WCCW was Also Happy To Announce that WCCW Has Hired Part-Time Wrestler, Tommy Gunn as its 1st Commissioner. As Well as being an Accomplished wrestler, Gunn Has jointly ran a promotion called the 'UWF' for a year in the past, as well as performing "behind the scene duties as a staff member for about 3 various different feds for the 2 years before that.

Growing Fed Seeks New GM``xAdam_Michaels``xThe ICWA is on the verge of breaking out to become one of the hottest and fastest-growing e-feds in the industry. However, with great numbers comes the need to have a growing staff as well. And for this reason, we are putting out the call for a new GM.
The ideal candidate will be able to:
1. Act as a roleplay judge according to the system in place in ICWA.
2. Write at least one match per week (possibly two for PPV events)
3. Help to generate and build storyline ideas
4. Help to keep the peace in the forums (even though that's not really a problem- we have a pretty friendly OOC board and not one fight in its existence)
5. Willingness to recruit and help the fed grow even more, assisting in the promotion of the ICWA and getting us out to the millions of e-fedders out there today.
If this sounds like you, then please e-mail me at icwafed@mail.com and let's talk!
Sincerely, Adam Michaels CEO- ICWA ``xEEZlklAuFkChqvDjvA``x1178293032``xad``x9601151359088``x``xhttp://www.freewebs.com/icwalliance``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x15535``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xLooking For Members``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Conference Finales Posted!``xNFW``xNFW is back at it again. With a playoffs stretch run that's seen everything and anything, apparently they've been heavily underestimated. The East and West brought two houses down on two straight nights across the globe from each other with a total of 8 matches and 6 hours of spinetingling entertainment.
In the Eastern Conference, Felix Red and Dan Ryan started off in their Thunderdome Semifinals match, quickly followed by the other semifinal of Yori Yakamo Junior and Maggot with a last minute deathmatch stipulation change. Once the dust settled there, the two victors moved onto one of the most exciting and hyped up finals that Fwrestling buffs have ever seen.
Then, in the Western Conference...on the heels of a Demolition Derby Divisional Playoffs, somehow...someway, the violence and sheer lunacy is eclipsed exponentially. Eli Flair, Joey Melton, Nova, Lindsay Troy, Kodiak Vic Creed, Tom Adler and Guy Boudreaux go thru the final three matches to win the West, while Craig Miles, High Flyer and Mittens T. Cat battle for the tA Immortal Championship.
A tA invasion, 5 matches...and a Western Conference Championship that nearly kills its two finalists. From start to finish, its pure insanity...what more can you want?``xEEZVFVuEVkeacZrtNa``x1175357752``xoldnews``x63311170972810``x``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com/``xNFW is back at it again.

It was a wild match featuring a brutal heel turn by THE FOUNDATION on JEFF JAMES; tension between CHRIS CASINO and fellow Untouchable KRENSHOV; one hot sexxxy dance-off between STONE ZELLOR and the infamous DR. TITTYLOVER; the return at last of THEMONSTERCALIBAN; several REBEL superstar debuts; and a spectacularly lengthy run by the #3 entrant DEZ CARTER. ``xIn a Four-Corner Tag Title Elimination match, DOOMRIDERS Kryenik and Deathrow retained after Papa Z's interference for his boys MIDNIGHT COWBOYS backfired. It was the Cowboys who seemed to have the match in hand after first eliminating JAY O'BRIEN and KRENSHOV, then MIDNIGHT COWBOYS. Kryenik goes 1 for 1 on the night...
LDK LLOYD REES and SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL beat the living hell out of each other in an old school violence I QUIT match. However, the finish of the match was surrounded in controversy as SB's cornerman BRIAN BRUNO threw in the towel --- right when SB seemed to be making the ropes to free himself from Lloyd's Conception Bay Chinlock. Lloyd took the win despite not making SB say I Quit. After the match, Brian Bruno turned on his former friend, powerbombing him through the timekeeper's table and leaving the building.
The unthinkable at last happened. Stylin' Kyle Roberts and Bruce "The Beast" Richards met in the squared circle... the former five-time NAPW tag champions went at it tooth and nail, The Beast pounding Roberts from pillar to post. Kyle very nearly took the win at several occassions, but after a second CHART ATTACK The Beast put his treacherous former partner down for the three count. A delirious, bloody Roberts then announced his quitting of NAPW... and exclusive signing to REBEL Pro Wrestling!
Kryenik's second match of the night. NAPW title on the line as he took on the defending champion Ravager, who one year ago at Sole Survivor lost the very belt. It was perhaps the greatest match in NAPW history full of shocking moments, the partisan Ontario crowd firmly behind their hometown boy Kryenik. The two men exchanged vicious maneuvers, pulling out all the stops, culminating in near-fall after near-fall. Shockingly, Ravager kicked out of the DRY LAKE. Equally as shockingly, Kryenik kicked out of THE LAST RESORT. But in the end, Ravager was able to keep Kryenik down for the three following a devastating lariat off the ropes. Kryenik left SSII still a tag champion, but just short of becoming the Heavyweight Champion. Ravager's PATH continues. ``xToronto, Ontario``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x03.27.2007``xhttp://www.napw-online.com``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

It has never happened in NAPW before. Chris Casino will meet "SUPERSTAR" Tommy Deathrow one-on-one. Casino's Pure Honor title will not be on the line because it will be the RETURN OF SUPERSTAR RULES by order of Rex Caliber. This is a huge, first-time ever main event and both men will be looking to bring their A-games. Does Casino have it in him to once again enter the hardcore environment so familiar to the DOOMrider, especially now that Deathrow has finally earned NAPW gold?``xD-X EXPLODES Stylin' Kyle Roberts vs Bruce "The Beast" Richards
The dream was not dead. Rex Caliber revoked the stipulation that said D-X could never team again. With Stylin' Kyle watching his back, The Beast defeated Stone Zellor to settle that score. Then, the chair shot heard round the world.
Stylin' Kyle's vicious assault on The Beast left the man hospitalized. But it was THE BEAST who requested --- DEMANDED --- a match with Stylin' Kyle at the earliest opportunity. Rex Caliber reluctantly agreed to sign the match. The dynasty is dead as D-X will go at it one-on-one... and rumour is The Beast is very. Very. Angry.
NON-TITLE MATCH Ravager vs "The Chairman" David Banks
In a big return to Edmonton, NAPW Champion Ravager will take on "The Chairman of NAPW." Assuming Ravager is still NAPW Champion he will defend his title on 3/14 versus "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees. He should not look bast Lloyd's protege David Banks, who has returned to NAPW with a new focus. A win here over the champion would up The Chairman's stock considerably, and of course potentially soften up Ravager for Lemondrop next week.
TAG TEAM BATTLE ROYALE Untouchables vs The Foundation vs Famous Monsters of Hollyweird vs Midnight Cowboys vs TEAM Kurtis vs Jeff James & Dio Muerte
The competition in the NAPW tag team scene has become very, very stiff... very, very fast. The Untouchables believe they are owed a tag title shot, assaulting and injuring Next Generation last week to "make a statement". The Foundation were beaten back by The Untouchables last week; they are also seeking credibility. What about the Famous Monsters? They certainly want the shot at tag gold. Midnight Cowboys are no doubt going to be fired up to get their rematch for the tag titles they lost last week. TEAM Kurtis now contains the TV Champion. Chad & Matthew could go for tag gold to add to their collection. And finally, the dark horse team of the match: Jeff James & Dio Muerte, who scored an upset DQ win over The New & Improved D-X back in January. They were seconds away from becoming tag champions then; could tag team gold be in their future? Expect all hell to break loose when these six teams mix it up in Edmonton.
FOUR-CORNER ELIMINATION FOR AN NAPW TITLE SHOT Simply Beautiful vs Kevin Kodiak vs "The Devastator" Kurt Castle vs "Big Bad" Brian Bruno
With Evan Cartwright on the shelf and Ravager/Rees rescheduled for 2/27, there is an open title defense for the 3/13 show. Rex Caliber has made a Four-Corner Elimination match to determine the challenger to the title. Simply Beautiful has been granted the first spot in the match. Three big winners from the 2/27 show have now been added to the match. Kevin Kodiak forced Legion to submit, ending their long-standing feud. Kurt Castle retained his Provincial Title; can Castle win the match and bring the NAPW Championship to the Untouchables? Rounding out the four is "Big Bad" Brian Bruno. Bruno as of late has been unstable and dangerous. He beat Dez Carter last week and then laid the man out with a cheap shot. Where is Bruno's head at? How will he interact in a match with his good friend Simply Beautiful and old rival Kurt Castle? And how will the wildcard Kevin Kodiak fit into the picture?
"Sick" Billy Kryenik vs Nightmare
A new champion squares off with a former champion. Kryenik relishes any competition; rumour has it that he will shortly announce the time and place for his CANADA CUP title shot. Nightmare comes off losing the TV Title to Chad Kurtis and will be looking to re-establish momentum. An upset here would be big for his career.
Sebastien Martyr vs Dez Carter
For weeks, Sebastien Martry has haunted NAPW events and television. He has threatened to take out his considerable wrath on a newcomer to NAPW. He debuts against Dez Carter, a man who seems to have no direction since losing his tag partner North T. Gunderson. Will he get his head back in the game to take on the intimidating Martyr?
Lyndsey Valentine vs Lex Vain
It's true! Lex Vain will get his ass kicked by a girl next week! One tough as nails girl. Or will there be a surprise for Ms. Valentine from the founder of Vain-ity?

Roleplaying 102``xChad``xLet me begin by saying that I, in no way, claim to be a "great" roleplayer. I do, however, have years of experience in a multitude of leagues, and although this may not qualify me to write a "Guide to Better Roleplaying," I felt that it was, perhaps, time for SOMEONE to write one.
I am going to assume that you understand the basics of roleplaying in the sense that you, in essense, cut an interview with your wrestler or wrestlers in an effort to tell a story, and, hopefully, win a match. The absolute KEY to good roleplaying is that you cannot consider your character a one-dimensional gimmick. You must create a living, breathing, personality. Of course, this can be difficult, but this Guide is meant to help you with this process.
Below are a few tips to get you started on what will hopefully be a successful roleplaying career. Remember, nobody said it would be easy. Success takes hard work, and it usually comes down to who wants it more. So, the real question is... How bad do you want it?
Tip One: Presentation Matters!
People say that substance matters more than style, which is true. The only problem is that if your roleplays are difficult to read due to poor grammar, spelling, and formatting, then it does not bode well for you as a roleplayer. Use a spellchecker if you have to, and always think about what you're trying to say before you do so. A well thought out sentence is usually much better than one just written on the fly.
Always use uniform formatting. If all of your actions are in parentheses, such as (Master Blaster gets on his knees and prays to God.) then they should ALL be in parentheses. If you refer to your wrestler in the third person during actions, continue to do so throughout your roleplays. Don't begin with something such as (Dick Bruiser flexes for the camera.) and two paragraphs down, have (Flexes). Try to use the same spacing, capitalizing, and style throughout your entire roleplay. Also, Tip Two can help in this.
Tip Two: Always Proof-read Your Roleplay!
I cannot stress this enough. Too often I have read a roleplay that could have been saved if only somebody had proofread it. Honestly, how many times have you read a roleplay in which a sentence or two, or perhaps, even the entire thing, didn't seem to make a lot of sense? Proofreading may seem like a lot of work, but I can almost guarantee you that if you proofread through a roleplay, you will, nine times out of ten, find a mistake that you didn't realize you made when you wrote it.
When proofreading, check your spelling, grammar, and formatting. Is the roleplay easy to read? More importantly, do the sentences read correctly and make sense throughout? If not, obviously, a change must be made. Always read through your roleplay after you've read it. It can save you a lot of time down the road.
Tip Three: Don't Roleplay Generically!
I can't count the number of times I've seen Joe Blow come out and tell me that he's going to hit me with the Devastator, his ultimate finishing move, and that I don't stand a chance against it. You should really avoid this kind of a thing. After all, why bother to roleplay at all if you have nothing interesting or original to say? Avoid real wrestler gimmicks (like Rock Cold or The Caretaker).
Originality is really a key part of roleplaying. After all, we've seen the bad guy who is an egomaniac and always cheats to win. When creating a character, do your best to not only come up with an original gimmick, but to develop it beyond that gimmick into a fully blown character with a personality and traits.
Tip Four: Develop Your Character
Catchphrases are nice for real wrestling, and have their place in fantasy wrestling, too, but don't get too carried away. If you are saying the same thing every time your roleplay, you will lose more often than not. Think of your character as a real wrestler. Gimmicks can help, but you can't allow your character to be one dimensional. The cocky stud muffin can only take you so far before you're stuck with the same stupid interview over and over again.
One way to develop a character is to think how he would react to a certain situation. If his best friend betrays him, is he going to go right after him? Is he going to enlist help? Is he going to ignore the friend? Things like this make up the fundamental part of your character, and transfer him or her from a simple gimmick wrestler to a champion.
Tip Five: Rip Off Everyone!
This may sound somewhat ridiculous, but ripping people off is an absolute must in fantasy wrestling. The exact format I use, from parentheses to capitalizing my characters' names was ripped off from other people. The idea behind this is that if you see someone, and you like how they do it, why not do it the same way?
I'm not suggesting ripping off other people's characters or gimmicks. I frown upon such behavior. When you see something you like, however, why not attempt to duplicate it? Notice that a certain roleplayer seems to have a cool style to his role plays? Incorporate it into your character. It is through other people that we can grow.
Tip Six: Winning Isn't Everything!
Everyone likes to win. Fantasy Wrestling should be, primarily, about having fun, however. You have to understand that you ARE going to lose, no matter how good you are. There's always going to be somebody who's better at least one time. When you lose, don't complain to the President. They hate that. Instead, why not ask him what he thinks you could do better? Not only will this help YOU in that you can understand better what your President expects out of you, but he will respect you more for being man enough not to complain and understand that everyone could stand to improve.
Tip Seven: Desire Is Everything!
As I said before, it usually comes down to who wants it more. If you find roleplaying for your matches to be a chore, it reflects your roleplays. People will see that you don't enjoy what you're doing, and that your roleplays will be rushed and generic. Don't be too quick to quit, however. We all feel burned out at one time or another. Obviously, writing a roleplay upon demand can be a pain at times.
Take your time. Think about what you want to say. Wait until you have time to say it. Read what your opponent has said (I usually read it twice, just so I can address everything) and then think about what you would like to say in response. Just saying that you're going to beat his ass isn't going to help much. If you take your time and do what you think to be a really good job, you will enjoy roleplaying more and probably do better.
Tip Eight: Have Fun!
Remember... this is about fun. Don't let fantasy wrestling ruin relationships between you and your online buddies. This is just a game, and in the end, it doesn't really matter who wins or loses. I hope I've been able to help you, and if not, at least interest you. I never claimed to be "good" at what I do. I'm just experienced. And experience, in fantasy wrestling, helps. Just keep truckin'.

Angles, Angles, Angles``xChad``xThere’s more to fantasy wrestling than just gimmicks and roleplay. You’ve got to know how to run an angle. For newbies, angles are generally in-card actions that advance a storyline, which may take place during a match, ‘backstage’ or almost anywhere else. Angles can affect out-of-card stories as well, although those actions are generally advanced through roleplay, etc.
I’ve received thousands of angles through the years. Some are as simple as a run-in that results in a disqualification; others are so advanced that they can be extremely difficult to keep up with. The key is to know who you’re writing for and what your ultimate goal is. Know how your league’s owner and staff like to receive angles: figure out which e-mail address to send it to, when it should be sent and if there is any specific format or form you need to use. Be as concise as you can while including all the pertinent information.
Figure out what your goal is. Are you trying to set up a long-term feud, or is this just a one-shot to help build your character? Are you trying to win the match at hand, or will a disqualification (or even a loss) help set up what you want to do? Is this the beginning of a larger story, or the middle, or the end?
Don't be afraid to work with other handlers. If you're in the midst of a starting a big feud, you may want to come up with some 'pieces' of the feud with your opponent's handler. I'm not a huge fan of setting up every single detail of a feud with an opposing handler, but some people do it that way as well. (I'm not a fan of it, because I believe in the element of surprise...fedheads should use it, and so should handlers.) In the CSWA, usually the only way I'll do an injury angle, etc. where a character gets seriously injured or 'put out' for an amount of time, is if both handlers have agreed in advance, and if it furthers the storyline.
Don't get too far out...time-wise... with your angle. It's good to have a general plan of what you'd like to happen over a series of cards, but be flexible, as well. You don't know what the fedhead or other handlers may have in mind... so you need to be able to adapt your plan for other considerations.
Also, don't get too ticked off if your angle is changed or isn't used. That's a fedhead's prerogative. I've written/edited cards where I received tons of angles, maybe 5-6 for the same match or involving the same sets of characters. Obviously, they can't all be used. In those cases, a fedhead has to try and use as much of what he receives as he can, while keeping the storyline tight and easy-to-understand. In some cases, that may mean that your angle, the one you thought would put you over the top for the sure-fire win, gets combined with an opponent's angle...and your angle ends up backfiring somehow. It happens. If you're going to whine incessantly about it, then that league probably isn't the place for you.
Finally, remember that the story takes precedence, not just your character. One the main points I try and get across to CSWA handlers is the fact that while the CSWA concentrates heavily on roleplay, there are times that the storyline dictates a match result. I also tell handlers that roleplay always pays off in the end... characters may lose a match now that's setting them up for the 'big win' later.``xEEZplApuZyGNEOBgSP``x1170894076``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xChad Merritt``x``xRoleplaying is great, matchwriting is huge, but knowing how to run a wrestling angle is paramount.``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x10``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Matchwriting 102``xChad``xNow, I’m going to take a match I wrote and try and show how I incorporated the basic storytelling techniques into writing it.
A few months back, I wrote a match between “The English Gent” Lawrence Stanley and “The Wolf” Mike Randalls. (Ed. Note: The match is located on CSWA PRIMETIME in Phoenix http://www.fwrestling.com/archives/2000/pt8-14/phoenix5.htm if you’d care to peruse.) For those of you who don’t know the background of the characters, let me explain. Stanley can be compared to William Regal-- a pompous, uppitty, snobbish Brit. But through the course of time, more depth was revealed about the character (through Ross McConnell’s awesome RP). Stanley is indeed snobbish and a jerk, but at the same time he’s fiercely independent, driven and has an incomparable will to not only be the next star of the CSWA (he’s a newer character), but to also overcome his poor, rough-and-tumble upbringing.
Mike Randalls is, in my eyes, the greatest character in the history of FW, and that’s because Jon Katz is one of the best RPers of all-time. To try and capture what Randalls is in a few words is like trying to do the same of Willy Loman from The Death of a Salesman-- almost impossible. Randalls is fearless, quite possibly the best wrestler in the world, comparable to a Chris Benoit or Bret Hart as a wrestler. He’s had epic match after epic match, and has always proven himself to be the top of the world. But he’s also dangerous and warped, and has no qualms about doing anything to win a match, such as driving a wooden stake through a man’s knee in a legendary “I Quit” match. So not only is he good, but he’s also lethal-- he walks the line between “face” and “heel” and is both respectable and disgusting all at once.
So, the two of them had a match to determine the #1 ranking for the CSWA World Title, then held by Deacon.. And I was assigned the match to write.
The initial conflict is, of course, Stanley vs. Randalls. But I also thought that I should put in a bigger theme, a greater conflict. The theme of the match became this: could Lawrence Stanley, the brash youngster, defeat the greatest wrestler of all-time despite his flaws? And could Mike Randalls withstand the rookie’s charge without going over the deep end yet again?
Since Stanley isn’t as developed as Randalls character-wise (only because Ross is newer and Katz has been around even longer than I have been), I thought that he could use something to get over his other character traits-- his independence and will. So, I decided to use the ring introductions and the beginning of the match to try and get this point across.
Stanley was accompanied to the ring by his manager, Lord Alfred, and his lackey, Serf. In many matches before, Stanley used the two to his advantage, to have them interfere and win. But to get the respect he desperately craved, Stanley told them to return to the back.
Randalls came to the ring after this, with his typical focus and determination. And since Randalls is the veteran, I tried to have him set the pace to start the match. But Stanley, who in Ross’ roleplay always notes how much he studies his opponents, was prepared for this. As such, Stanley took control of the match early and came close to almost scoring a number of pinfalls. The young wrestler was showing the master that he was on the same level.
Stanley backdropped Randalls over the top rope, which gave me the first chance to turn the tide. That move was not typical of Stanley, who felt that he needed to do something above and beyond what he normally did (traditional power-based mat wrestling) to win. And Randalls was not used to being at the lower hand of a match so early in it, and realized that he had to step up his intensity to win.
After taking Stanley to the floor and getting control of the match, Randalls showed his aggressiveness by bulldogging Stanley onto the ring steps from the apron and breaking the youngster’s nose.
Soon, the match turned into a brawl between the two, with both men trying to put the other out (Stanley using a chair to bust open Randalls, Randalls dropkicking the chair back into Stanley’s face). What I was trying to show was that this wasn’t just a wrestling match between two men, this was a struggle and both men had to dig down deep.
Soon, Randalls took control of the match back in the ring. This caused me to try and show one aspect of the match I wanted to get across-- Lawrence Stanley proving that he was as good as Mike Randalls. The match built and progressed, and soon Randalls injured Stanley enough to be able to procure The Devastator-- his finisher that has ended many matches. What better way to show that a younger guy was on the same level as the best ever by having him struggle in the most gruesome submission hold of all-time, until he was able to drag himself to the ropes and free himself?
After Stanley reached the ropes, he again dug down deep, and this time managed to get the better of Randalls. This time, he had Randalls on the ropes (chops, forearms built into powerslams and powerbombs) and then finally hit him with the Guillotine, his TR DDT secondary finisher. Surely after all this, Randalls would stay down.
But the veteran can’t lose just like that. He’s the best ever, and he always finds a way-- so he got the shoulder up.
Stanley then attempted to hit FaceDown, his other finisher (inverted powerbomb), but Randalls, the cagey vet, reversed it into a Diamond Cutter-- a quick “out of nowhere” move that can always be used as an equalizer.
Both men were down, and both men had spent everything they had. The referee started to make the ten count, and both men barely beat the count at 9. Mike Randalls and Lawrence Stanley were again toe-to-toe, despite both giving and taking their best shot. Lawrence Stanley had proven his point. He belonged with Mike Randalls, he belonged with the elite. Although he was a rookie, he was one of the best wrestlers in the world, and he proved that.
But alas, he wasn’t Mike Randalls’ superior yet. After rising to his feet, Stanley collapsed and Randalls somehow managed to maintain his balance. He then hooked the Devastator again, and won the match.
The pinfall/submission/end is the easiest way to write a climax for a FW match. It’s where the match builds. So, Randalls winning was the peak of the plot structure.
But that wasn’t the conclusion. There should always be something afterwards.
True to his character, Randalls wanted to take Stanley-- now perceived as a potential threat to the legacy of The Wolf-- out. So, after the match, he again hooked The Devastator, and wouldn’t let go until Randalls was run off.
Then, Stanley rose to his feet and was met with applause from the fans. Randalls showed he still would do whatever it took to remain the best, and he would. But Stanley won the respect of everyone around him, and showed that someday, he could be the top guy.
Hey, I know it’s not Hemingway or Fitzgerald. But I did try to adopt it to stuff I was taught in English class.
So, when you’re writing a match, keep that in mind. FW matches are nothing more than stories. Use what you can and what you already know to try and tell the best story you can.``xEEZplApukEaIkMDWhc``x1170894021``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xGregg Gethard``x``xGethard's second article of a two-part series on how to write a match that tells a story.``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x8``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Matchwriting 101``xChad``xThe key to any good and successful FW league is to have the perfect balance between great roleplay and great match and cardwriting... turning everything that gets put into FW into one great story.
The art of good roleplay writing is something that is hard to accomplish... but over time, anyone can get good. Your imagination and creative impulses will eventually work their way through, and you can find the voice of any character you create, and from there you can take off. Good roleplaying comes from experience and from looking at other good RPers. It takes time, but it can be done.
Cardwriting, to me, is much more of a challenge. Think about what it takes to write a card-- you have a league that has, say, 20 characters in it. You have to try and balance all the angles and requests and what-not of your league members without causing any hardship, while keeping your league forward. Ask anyone who has ever run a league, and they’ll tell you how incredibly hard that is.
I’ve never been able to do that. Any league I’ve ever run, I’ve had to shut down because of my inability to keep things organized. Any card I’ve had to write, it’s been bogged down with delays and what-not. After almost 10 years of being involved in fantasy wrestling (next to 7th Heaven and mainlining PCP, my biggest addiction), I’ve come to appreciate how much hard work and dedication league presidents have to this hobby.
But I know in the CSWA, a huge league, veteran guys gotta help out when we can. So, I write a few matches here and there to get the cards out .
Since I started, for the first time in my FW career, to really write matches for the first time, I sat down and tried to think to myself how I would write a match. Before, in my younger days, I would write matches but never end up liking the finished product.
I looked at my stuff and looked at the stuff of good card and match writers (Jon Katz, Pete Russo, the NFW’s Jamar Nicholas and CSWA’s Chad Merritt all come to mind) and saw where I went wrong. My matches fell into what I’ve noticed is a bad (but understandable) habit that a lot of matchwriters get into-- the matches become simply a list of moves. The better matches have a lot more nuance, more depth to them. Good matches start slow and then build-- finishing moves and big stunts are at the end of the match, where the drama is at its greatest.
So, I sat down and asked myself how I would write a good match. Matches, even in “real” pro wrestling, should tell a story. And what makes a good story?
Good stories in any medium-- literature, film, tv-- have several items that make them good stories. The most important ingredient to good storytelling is to have good, interesting characters. That’s where the RP comes in. RP, in essence, is nothing more than character development. The RPer provides the details, descriptions and motivations of the character that has been created.
Another aspect in good storytelling is plot. If you’re in school and have studied English at all, you’ve all heard about plot structure. You have an introduction, then the plot rises until it reaches it’s climax, and then you have a resolution or denouement, if you’re a pretentious jackass like myself.
Good stories also should have some sort of conflict and theme to them. In literature, the conflicts are simple-- man vs. man, man vs. nature, man vs. self, or a combination of the two. In FW, the most basic conflict is, of course, man vs. man... wrestler vs. wrestler. And there can be several themes to back up the conflict-- one guy wants to be the best, the other does also; some bastard stole a girl, the other guy wants revenge; etc.
So that’s the essence of how to write a good match. By simply telling a good story.``xEEZplApFZyXlsWYZBk``x1170893976``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xGregg Gethard``x``xFW legend Gregg Gethard gives you the first rule of matchwriting -- tell a good story.``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x7``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

What would you rather read? As a league president, which character would you rather put your title on? Exactly.
The key to the heart of FW is good roleplay. Good RP is consistent, intriguing, and compelling. Good RP should not be cursing for the sake of it. It shouldn't be non-sensical, and most importantly, it should further a storyline.
THE FOUNDATION OF RP
By no means is this the final word on constructing RP, but this is how I've done it for the past damn-near 10 years. (Ugh. What's wrong with us?)
Like I said earlier, all RP should have a purpose, but this section will deal with how to construct a RP note. A lot of this can be used for writing cards as well, so take what you can from this.
I've always written my RP as if it was in hollywood 'script' form - Like what you'd see used for writing a screenplay for a movie, play or TV show. There are rules to it, and some people have tried to do this, and screwed it up :) I say this because the style I write in has been emulated by a lot of handlers over the years. You can't break the rules until you know how they work.
Throughout my notes, I prefer to use 'stage terms' to explain actions and such. The main thing is the use of the CAPS key to emphasize the commands/actions. IE: FADEIN, CUT-TO, MUSIC-UP, FADE TO BLACK, etc. are in CAPS. Also, when 'narrating' a character, their name is in CAPS as well, preferably the last name.
IE: (HORNET enters the ring, and throws a fist up as the crowd cheers!)
This, I assume, when these rules were made, breaks the text up easier for the cast/crew to read, and to understand direction, or a character that is about to speak or do an action. I'll do a summary below:
(FADEIN: To MASKED MATHEMATICIAN, standing at the front of the school, dressed in his wrestling togs.)
I will always give credit where it is due - I was taught this style by one of the best roleplayers ever, John Gilson. He, as far as I'm concerned, 'invented' descriptive, intriguing roleplaying. Before him, people were just typing in arguments. Props given.
DESCRIPTION FOR DUMMIES
One of my biggest pet-peeves is the new wave of 'deep' Roleplayers. If I'm talking to you, oh well :) The RP is intriguing and all, but it breaks a million rules of 'FW reality'. Example:
(Johnny Goth stands on top of the mountain, eyes fixed on the setting sun disappearing over the ocean. The air is crisp, and smells of salt, as the wind is blowing his hair past his chiseled face, as he ponders what has transpired before this moment:
Yes, he was able to defeat King Chicken-head at the PPV. But at what cost?
His dream wanders back to when he was a child, nuzzled in the bosom of his mother ... )
Ok - what's the problem with this?
I view all of this fantasy-wrestling stuff as if I were watching it on TV. That's the whole reason there are 'announcers' on the cards - to explain the action to the viewers at home and give emotion, drama and suspense to the wrestlers and their actions. Unless there is a narrator speaking in voice-over to the viewer, (which I doubt) I don't think we would know what Johnny Goth is thinking, would we? Also, TV does not afford the sensation of smell. How could we know what the air smelled like? If we're going to cut to a dream sequence, then it should be a CUT scene.
I understand what the RPer is trying to do - be descriptive in the sense of english-class writing - but this is not a novel, nor a book report. The main rule is - if it can be shown on TV, then it can be done in RP.
Description is a tricky thing to do, but if done correctly, can enhance a card or RP immensely. Don't over-describe things to the point of ridiculousness - I'm sure that the viewer doesn't care that the wrestler has a nose hair out of place. Include descriptions to set the scene, and move on, we'll assume the rest. Ergo:
(FADEIN: The MATHEMATICIAN, who's in a gym, working out with free weights. He puts the weights down, grabs a towel and wipes his face.)
In that example, we don't care what he's wearing, nor does it matter, so I left it out. Let's see how that would've looked if I over-cooked the description:
(FADEIN: The MATHEMATICIAN, who's in a gym, working out with free weights, wearing loose Umbro shorts, Adidas crosstrainers and no shirt, which shows off his chiseled tanned chest. He's glistening with sweat as he blows air out of his mouth, pumping the dumbbells. He finishes his last rep, puts the weights down, and grabs a blue terrycloth towel and puts it to his face slowly, wiping his face with slower, sweeping motions.)
We didn't really need all of that, did we? Plus it reeks of 'hamming it up'. It feels like the RPer is trying too hard, and trying to be dramatic. It's a dance you need to learn to be effective.
I've been cued into RPing so much over the years, that I could tell you who wrote an RP without there being a name on it. Jon Katz doesn't write the way Gregg Gethard writes, and he doesn't write the way Erik Zieba writes. You can develop a personal style, as long as you stick to the rules.
This is just a start, and there are many more things to learn, but hopefully this will put you on the right track. Be original as well - meaning that this style isn't the end-all, or is it the 'correct way' just A way.

The Join Form``xChad``xWhat is this thing called a “Join Form” and how does it affect my life?
The first thing you have to do when joining a fed is fill out the o- so- wonderful Join Form. Now, a lot of people have a wrestler in mind when they apply for a fed, or they have one that they use EVERYWHERE so it’s not really much of a hassle other than typing everything in over and over again.
But there are some players who haven’t gotten that far. Maybe they just started. Maybe they’re still trying to figure out who that character is that will suit their writing style and personal preferences. In any case, I’m here to help. And since most join forms are basically the same, you can apply these rules to just about all of them.
YOUR NAME: Self- explanatory. If you don’t know what your name is, chances are you broke out of your cell to read this.
YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS: In some feds, you’re going to be the recipient of a lot of E-Mail regarding the status of cards, status of feds, and other members who want to plan things with you. If you don’t want your mailbox to get cluttered with Fantasy Wrestling mail, you can easily get a Hotmail, Yahoo, or just about any other type of free mail specifically for fantasy wrestling.
WRESTLER’S NAME: Aside from the sample RP (which we’ll get to in a second), this is probably one of the most important things about the character you’re coming up with. Mick Foley said it best in his book – if everything about Stone Cold was the same, but he was announced as “Baron von Ruthless,” stick a fork in him, he’s done.
As a rule, most of the decent feds aren’t big fans of “gimmick” wrestlers like a garbageman or a plumber. That’s fine, most players aren’t into them either. But you should really have a concept.
Do you want an over- the- top babyface? A reclusive loner? A classic heel? The name can really make the wrestler. With names like “Daredevil” Mark Vizzack, Cardigo Mysterian, and “Devastating” Mike Randalls, it’s a no- brainer to really figure out what sort of wrestler these men are.
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT: Please, for the sanity of the commissioner…. Keep these numbers reasonable. How many men in the sport are really taller than seven feet? How many men are 5’11 and weigh over 400 pounds? 7’4” and weigh under 300? There are the usual exceptions, but a fed with giants and Yokozunas is hardly going to produce cards worth their salt – big men are notoriously slow and limited as far as what they can do in a wrestling match. Chris Benoit, Triple H, and even Steve Austin, when he’s able to show it, are all incredibly adept at wrestling just about any style of match because their size isn’t exaggerated, and is PROPORTIONAL.
AGE: Not all sites require this. In fact, most don’t. But on the off chance you need to fill this in, it’s good to keep the age consistent. A good rule of thumb is to figure that most *wrestlers break into the “business” between the age of 21 and 26. This is, of course, completely subjective, and age should be a nonfactor in the character of your wrestler.
ENTRANCE MUSIC: Here is one of the biggest mistakes that new players make. Even before KoRn’s “Issues” was released, some of the web’s feds were overrun with people who were using “Falling Away From Me” as their entrance music.
Music should SAY SOMETHING about the character – and it’s hard to do that when you pick the “song of the moment.” And while I’m sure a lot of the people who chose “Falling Away from Me” are still using it, the fact remains that it became popular solely because it was popular at the moment.
Your wrestler’s music should be chosen to fit the personality you want to give him, not the other way around. If you like a song, you shouldn’t change his personality just so it’ll make sense. On the other side, if your current music is something by the Backstreet Boys and the personality of the wrestler fits, you won’t be able to make a case for using something by Cannibal Corpse and NOT have shown a marked change in personality.
In other words…. There’s a big difference between whatever it is that the Backstreet Boys put out onto the market, and, say…. “Blood Drenched Execution” by Cannibal Corpse.
APPEARANCE/GIMMICK: The real meat- and- potatoes of fantasy wrestling. This will be the most important thing about your wrestler. This will determine what he looks like and how he thinks.
Simple as that. Or not.
After all, what sort of ‘gimmick’ is Bill Goldberg? Cactus Jack? Stone Cold? Even The Rock is a different sort of gimmick that doesn’t have a general classification. Historically, the best gimmicks in Fantasy Wrestling have been those sorts that don’t require the use of a specific catchphrase or setting to get over. A nickname that portrays a general attitude, rather than some sort of prior occupation, is always more creative.
Appearance should suit the attitude/gimmick. You wouldn’t nickname a midget wrestler “The Giant” unless it was intended to be a slapstick character. But a name like “Devastating” tells something about the character. “The Strongest Arms in the World” is a testament to the strength of the character. “Daredevil” implies a high- flying risk taker. “Total Elimination” likewise, implies a tough- guy type.``xEEZplApklVJASOtQOT``x1170893885``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xPete Russo``x``xFW vet Pete Russo walks you through how to fill out a join form that will get accepted.``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x5``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
How Do I Get Started?``xChad``xIt all depends on the type of league you’re interested in. For more information on various types of leagues, read previous entries in the “What Is FW?” area?
First, you’ve got to join. Most leagues are open for applications, while others may announce spots available as handlers leave or owners decide to add to their roster. By the time you make the decision to try and join, you should have done your homework. You need to look at various league webpages or message boards; read their cards and roleplay to get a feel for league. Make sure that the league’s operation matches what you’re looking for: if weekly cards are important to you, look at the card frequency; if storylines and character development are your top want, then make sure you read enough cards to get a feel for the history. The same holds true for all sorts of other league characteristics: it’s your job to make sure that if you want Poser images of your character created, that the league offers those; or if you’re interested in a league with a large staff, that the league has it.
Also, check out the characters. If a league already has three ‘dark and brooding’ characters, and the character you have in mind just happens to be the same, odds are likely that the staff isn’t going to be interested in adding another. If a league seems to be face-heavy, try to join with a heel. If there are 15 ‘extreme’ characters in the league, you might want to consider a more technical, less ‘flashy’ character. In many leagues, it’s all about creating a good balance, while having some unique characters with strong personalities and distinct characteristics.
Once you’ve done your research, find out how to join. Generally, leagues will have information posted on their site, explaining how to join or if spots are currently available. If you’re still unclear on how to join, either send an e-mail to a staff member, or post a note in the ‘out-of-roleplay’ section of the message board (if they have one). Also be sure to ask any questions you may have about the league’s operation in general. Remember, it is not the owner’s or staff’s responsibility to tailor the league to your wants… you can’t expect a league that’s been open three years or even three months to change everybody to suit you…no matter how good you think you may be.
If a league has a join form set up on their site… fill it out, even if you have a more extensive profile of your character written up already. Be sure to fill in all the blanks, and include a sample roleplay if necessary. Even if a league doesn’t specifically request a sample roleplay, you may consider e-mailing one to a staff member, along with any other pertinent information about the character you’d like to include. Don’t beg, don’t plead, but do stress the fact that you’ve been following the roleplay and the cards, and that you feel like you would fit well in the league.
If a league turns you down, don’t get too discouraged. Some ‘major’ leagues receive hundreds of applications in a given month and may only have one or two spots to fill. Otehrs may only be looking for ‘big names,’ (in which case they shouldn’t have ‘open’ applications in the first place) so it may have nothing to do with you and your character, but the ‘ego’ of the league. If a staff member writes you back, feel free to ask them why you didn’t get in. Do it politely and honestly; it may simply be that they filled the open spots, or that they felt the specific character you applied with just wasn’t the fit they were looking for. The league may even be looking for tag teams exclusively…. There are all sorts of reasons, most of which have less to do with your ability than with the league’s circumstances. By no means should you write a league owner and complain about why you didn’t get in… that’s the quickest way to make sure you’ll never get in…and the quickest way to become known as a ‘problem handler.’
If at first you don’t get accepted, try, try again. Continue looking at up-and-coming leagues and find out where you can fit in. There are always leagues starting up that need new blood and new characters. Not every league wants characters that are ‘names’ in other leagues…some want to start fresh and build their own history. Use search engines to look for leagues off the beaten path… if you didn’t make it into a specific league, check the links from that site to other leagues, some of which may be run by member of the original league. Use resource sites and their forums… look on designated ‘advertising’ boards, and even think about posting information about your character and what type of league you’re looking for on those boards…. owners are always on the lookout for good characters.
Once you get accepted, be ready to work. Don’t expect to get put in a major program against one of the league’s top characters right away. Most leagues are going to expect you to earn your stripes… and that can take weeks and months. Concentrate on being productive, even if you lose a match early in your league career that you feel you should have won. Fantasy wrestling is like anything else in life… it’s not always fair; but that doesn’t mean your time won’t come.
Most importantly, have fun. If you feel like you’re being taken advantage of, then leave with the minimum of hassle and find another league you’re interested in. Remember that half of the game is what you put into it.``xEEZplApkkZXEZZBJlc``x1170893827``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xChad Merritt``x``xFiguring out the whole FW world can be hard -- diving in can be even more difficult.

Succeeding In "Real" Leagues``xChad``xThere are many of you out there, who are fans of professional wrestling (aka Sports Entertainment), and in turn you are also fans of Fantasy Wrestling. Why else would you be here otherwise, right? For those “in the know”, there are three options for fantasy wrestling leagues. You can open a league for generated wrestlers (those you create), real wrestlers (using real-life characters), or a “mixed” league, featuring a combination of generated and real wrestlers.
Some people say that it is easier to use real wrestlers than generated, because you have the wrestlers on television to pattern your roleplay, angles, promos after. Whereas generated wrestlers need a history built, some back story, as well as a compelling current story, in order to generate (no pun intended) interest in where your character is going and how believable your character is.
Well, I am here to inform you that it is harder to use real wrestlers. At least, in part, because there is something to go by, and there will be people who can tell if you are using your character in the correct manner. When you use a generated character, there isn’t any character for comparison, no television promos to gauge by. So, therefore you can’t really “make a mistake”.
In order to succeed in a real wrestler league, the entire goal, is to make your promos as close to the promos of the character(s) you see on television. This is the gauge by which those who judge roleplay go by, in order to determine (in part) who won a match. It is very important when you are in a real wrestling league, or a mixed league, using a real wrestler, that you know of what your wrestler speaks. You need to be aware of any catchphrases used, mannerisms, and whether or not they speak in the first-person or third-person. For example, if you are roleplaying The Rock, you would never use “I” or “me”, unless you were cutting a “shoot-style” promo, and you were talking as Duane Johnson.
As a former co-president of a real wrestler league on FW Central, I can tell you that one of the biggest parts to roleplay that we look at is definitely realism. Some presidents or league owners won’t make this a priority. However, it is the basis of great roleplay. It separates the “men” from the “boys”. There is an old saying in the world of Fantasy Wrestling: “If it feels like I’m watching the wrestler on television, then it’s good roleplay.” This is a good way to tell if your roleplay is up to par. Now, granted, we don’t expect this of everyone, but it does help.
Another way to succeed in a real wrestler league, other than good roleplay, is angles and promos that you send in. Now, this is the same in generated leagues, but in real wrestler leagues, it is just a bit different. When you submit angles and promos for cards, it helps your chances of winning your match. However, there are other times where sending in something will help the “push” of your wrestler(s). Your chances of being recognized for title shots and/or main event status would be greatly improved if you sent in angles, promos, etc. that would help further storylines AND are “outside” of a posted show. In other words, you don’t always have to wait for a card to be up for roleplay to send something in. It is what’s known as “out-of-card roleplay”. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, but every little bit helps, and it shows your commitment to making your character the best it can be, and your also showing your activeness in the league.
Following these suggestions can make your participation in FW leagues fun, and more successful. I hope this little column has helped, and as they always say “practice makes perfect”. So, relax, enjoy and have fun. After all, this isn’t life.. It’s just a game!

What Is FW? (The Basics)``xChad``xIt's not your typical fantasy sport. It's not strictly based on professional wrestling or on some sort of statistics pulled from ‘sports entertainment.’
It's your version of professional wrestling. You decide on your character, and you book the angles and the 'promos.' Events are put on by the owner of the league and (if applicable) his or her staff. In most leagues, you create a character from scratch and become the “handler.” These leagues are called “generated” feds. While the character may be based on various wrestlers you like, it should not be too much like any one of them. In “real” leagues, you may select characters from professional wrestling. In these leagues, many handlers take existing characters in new directions. Generated leagues presently vastly outnumber real leagues.
There are many different 'types' of leagues. Just like the difference in what types of characters are used between 'real' and 'generated' leagues, many leagues are differentiated by how results are decided, or where that roleplay is done.
Some leagues base their roleplay through your online inbox. Handlers send their roleplay to a designated e-mail address, and the president or staff put the roleplay (also called 'flashes') into a group (often called a 'packet') and e-mails the group to all handlers in the league. Some leagues even send out their cards via e-mail, while many post cards on a league website. Other leagues base their roleplay on a league message board, either on a free message board site or a league website equipped with one. In most cases (unless the board is 'hidden' from view), this allows non-members to take part by keeping up with roleplay.
Results can be decided in many ways. Statistic-based leagues are probably the least prominent, although they had more favor in the past. In these leagues, a handler designates specific statistics for a character, usually moves or characteristics with point values. These statistics may be worked into a manual or computer-based system that generates a winner. Programs like ZEUS and sites like GeekSoft have taken stat-leagues to a new level, working in more and more statistics and variables, and even allowing owners to ‘create’ full matches using characters.
Angle- and roleplay-based feds dominate the current FW landscape. “Roleplay” leagues are based on exactly that, roleplay. League owners and staff read roleplay posted by handlers, then base the winner on who they feel provided the best roleplay and/or storyline. In general, angles are also used, with the cardwriters and president deciding what angles are used and how. Angle-based feds also use roleplay to advance storylines, but match decisions are predetermined, usually between handlers, with some input from staff members. In some cases, one of the handlers involved in the match will actually do the write-up. The line between “angle” and “roleplay” feds can become blurred, with many leagues making little distinction. The CSWA, for example, is a hybrid fed. While roleplay plays the major factor in decisions, angles can also play a role in decisions; long-term angles can often 'string' matches together, creating a storyline in card writeups, as well as roleplay.
Other leagues are based on brand new ideas or even other sports. These “concept” feds cover the board and beyond: boxing, ultimate fighting feds, futuristic leagues, ‘team’ sports competitions and more. Roleplay still plays an integral part in most of these leagues, as do angles and storytelling.
As professional wrestling ventures into the world of “sports entertainment,” attempting to push the envelope of the sport, Fantasy Wrestling fans find that the sport has yet to catch up with its online counterpart. Sometimes angles on television seem so close to those that have taken place online that FWers swear they must be reading and 'stealing' our material. Who can say for sure? As pro wrestling progresses, so does the fantasy realm, using new ideas and capitalizing on old ones to continue to keep the game interesting.``xEEZplApplFdiABmJrX``x1170893683``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xChad Merritt``x``xWhat Is Fantasy Wrestling?

Where Did FW Come From?``xChad``xFantasy Wrestling’s roots lie in the ‘play-by-mail’ wrestling games that became prominent in the 1980s during wrestling’s “Golden Age.” Wrestling fans would sign up and create a wrestling character, usually choosing a series of moves or ‘scoring’ a wrestler’s abilities in various categories, much like creating a character in a roleplaying game like Dungeons & Dragons. “Handlers” (the wrestling fans) generally paid per match to compete. Along with their cash, they sent in strategies for their upcoming match or series of matches.
In the early 1990s, fantasy wrestling enthusiasts began to find more and more people involved in their hobby by going on-line to major bulletin board services like PRODIGY, AOL, Compuserve, etc. As the ‘sport’ progressed, various ‘factions’ emerged. Some simply took the play-by-mail game online, using e-mail in place of snail mail. Others expanded on the ‘strategy’ system, expanding to include actual roleplay from handlers. Many, like the CSWA, continued to use a ‘system’ to designate winners based on points and strategy, then began to incorporate roleplay into decisions. The separation between e-mail and roleplay leagues continues today. While roleplay leagues appear to receive more attention because of their websites, etc., e-mail leagues still amass significant popularity as well.
As “e-mail” and “roleplay” leagues progressed, players had to get used to a more basic distinction. The phraseology was simple: “real” leagues were those using real pro wrestlers as characters. These leagues operated similar to the regional feds of old: in one, Hunter Hearst Helmsley might be the top babyface, in another the snotty Frenchman, while in another a misguided Goth; whatever the handler decided. “Generated” leagues were those featuring brand new characters thought up by handlers. Originally, characters like Hornet or Mark Windham may have been based around the handler’s favorite real wrestlers; but the characters quickly took on a life of their own as they interacted with other generated characters in various leagues. Still a third type of league made no distinction, allowing both ‘real’ and ‘generated’ characters. These “mixed” leagues were the least numerous, followed by the “real” leagues, then the “generated.” Generated leagues have become the norm in most circles, but some major real leagues are still popular.
In the mid-1990s, the first websites featuring fantasy wrestling began to pop up as the World Wide Web started to grow. The first websites, like “FW Central” based off of PRODIGY, were relatively basic, but offered another place for players to interact. As the major online portals began changing their services, raising rates and charging per-hour of usage before finally settling into one price for ‘unlimited’ usage, websites began to become the obvious place to migrate. In the late 1990s, as website operators became familiar with HTML, CGI and other coding, websites started to add more features, including their own message boards. By 1998, sites like FWLNet/IWO-Online, EMWC, NWC and FantasyWrestling.com had shifted users from AOL, PRODIGY and other services to the Web proper. Since then, the trend to progress has continued, including Flash animation and websites, Poser pictures and even animated videos, led by sites like the fWo and CWL, and designers like Travis Beaven. Even “resource” sites have begun to dominate the landscape, featuring columns, tutorials and ‘news’, as well as a place for discussion. Sites like EWStrike, EWzine, Wrestlecell, EWUncensored, EWNWeb are just a few of the sites that have covered the ‘resource’ side of Fantasy Wrestling over the last couple of years.
The WWW is a big place, and various ‘circles’ of fantasy wrestling have sprung up with their own leagues and idiosyncrasies. Some feature e-mail leagues, others prefer “interfed” leagues. Some value design almost, if not more, than content; while some are almost spartan. Others focus on resource sites even more than federations themselves. Many ‘shootfighting’ feds have sprung up, along with those centered around boxing or more ‘extreme’ styles. Leagues like the fWo have even incorporated major pop culture phenomena like Survivor.
If anything has become even more apparent, it is that there’s a place for every type of fed, every type of handler and every type of angle. Fantasy wrestling continues to evolve: in some circles there’s an almost Luddite sense of keeping to ‘tradition’ and harkening back to the days of regional feds in ‘real’ wrestling; in others, wrestling has almost been pushed out of the way entirely in favor of new avenues of storytelling. ``xEEZpllAkyEyeKBAJjH``x1170892861``xwhatis``x48981170889022``xChad Merritt``x``xOriginally written several years ago, this article follows the history of the phenomenon called "fantasy wrestling" starting in the 1980s!``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x2``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

This is it. The fate of Evan Cartwright will be decided. He has carried the NAPW Title with pride, even with honor, but also with a troubled mind and heavy heart. The pressures of being the man on top of the mountain have twisted the perfect psyche. For Evan Cartwright, tonight is about mastering his inner being and truly becoming... a champion.
Ravager. A man who has perennially contended for the top prize in New Alberta Pro. He has held the richest prize, once. All too briefly. And then in a flash of gold it was gone. For nearly one year Ravager has failed in his quest to truly become the franchise player in western Canada. Never has he been so focused. Never has he been so close. For Ravager, tonight is about the final chance at the coveted gold, a chance he is approaching with a focus and intensity never before seen...
Two men. Two fates.
One championship.``xTAG TITLE MATCH TITLES WILL CHANGE HANDS ON A DQ OR COUNT-OUT The New & Improved D-X (c) vs Midnight Cowboys II
If D-X lose, they must BREAK UP!
They are the most decorated tag team in NAPW history. The #1 ranked tag team in all of professional wrestling for 2006. The wrestling media has showered them with accolades. Now, riding a career-defining win in the Hegstrand Memorial Tournament against the best tag teams the world had to offer, The New & Improved D-X have no plans for their dynasty to end, or to part with their cherished NAPW Tag Titles ever again.
There are dark riders on the horizon. Undefeated until they stepped into the ring with D-X several weeks ago, The Midnight Cowboys will once again challenge for the NAPW Tag Team titles. In that time, older brother Clint has pinned one-half of the champions, Stylin' Kyle Roberts, in singles competition. With the backing of NAPW Owner R. Joseph Winchell III, The Midnight Cowboys stand poised to make history, dethroning the greatest tag team of perhaps this past decade.
Yet the stakes in this contest are greater than even the NAPW Tag Team Titles. The odds are against D-X not only in the rules, but because of a stipulation. The mad Winchell has written into the match contract that if Stylin' Kyle and The Beast lose the match, they not only lose the tag team titles... but they will never again team up. The New & Improved D-X will die. The dynasty. The titles. The greatest team in wrestling. And perhaps the men who will declare... that they killed the greatest team in wrestling.
NO HOLDS BARRED FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE The Untouchables (Chris Casino & Krenshov) vs The Doomriders (Billy Kryenik & Deathrow)
One year ago. The Doomriders destroy The Delivery Men in a Falls Count Anywhere tag match. NAPW takes notice... Kryenik & Deathrow have arrived. Just one month later, Billy Kryenik pins Chris Casino in the second round of the 2006 Chris Casino Canada Cup tournament. Eliminating the very man who invented the tournament.
Just a few months ago, Kenny Krenshov - at the behest of owner R. Joseph Winchell III - destroys Tommy Deathrow in singles competition. Then at Black Thursday II, the Action! Battle Royale comes down to two men: Krenshov... and Kryenik. Kryenik upsets the giant...
In 2007, there is a new power in NAPW. The Untouchables. Chris Casino, Krenshov and Kurt Castle have dominated and are poised to take control. However, standing in their path to ultimate power is a violent, unpredictable, and resurgent obstacle: THE DOOMRIDERS. A renewed Tommy Deathrow and the phoenix Billy Kryenik have reunited. At Cold Snap, Chris Casino & Krenshov will meet The Doomriders in the hell that is NO HOLDS BARRED - FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE. Expect the unexpected. The only guarantee is that indeed, before the night is through, one or all of these men...
Will bleed.
TEAM GAUNTLET MATCH The Foundation vs Team Kurtis & Nightmare
Two men in the ring at a time. When a man is pinned, the next member of his team enters the match until all three members of a team have been eliminated.
It started with a small spark.
Jeff James, the little brother. The over-matched challenger. Jeff James, the man who evolved and adapted and became something entirely different from what he once was. He is the greatest TV Champion in NAPW history, and yet still, blood ties never stop mattering. Always Jeff James was there to back up brother Thomas Young, despite the growing conflict between himself and his brother's partner, the arrogant Prince Darko. The tension within The Foundation grew daily...
Brothers til the end. Two Kurtis boys, good ol' Kentucky boys. Chad. Matthew. Respectively "The Show" and "The Angry American." When The Foundation gang-assaulted Chad, it was Matthew who stepped up to defend his injured brother's honor. When The Foundation assaulted Matthew, it was Chad who sought revenge. And when Chad was out with an injury, Matthew found a man who had as much reason to hate The Foundation as he did. He found Nightmare.
The Foundation vs Team Kurtis & Nightmare. Yet the battle lines once drawn so clearly have blurred. His inability to win the TV Title from Jeff James saw something snap inside of Nightmare. Something ugly was released. Nightmare is not merely an island unto himself: He is a fortress assaulting any and all who come near. The Foundation is cracked and crumbling. And yet Prince Darko, in taking the TV Title from Jeff James, may have begun the sealing process.
It will be a Team Gauntlet match with huge reprecussions on the NAPW rankings. Neither side is unified or cohesive. The minds of Thomas Young and Nightmare are in question. The physical condition of Chad Kurtis is unknown. The situation is volatile. And now, that one small spark of Jeff James has grown.
And one spark is all that it will take for the fire of ages to erupt.
-PROVINCIAL TITLE MATCH- "The Devastator" Kurt Castle (c) vs "Big Bad" Brian Bruno
He is "The Devastator." And yet, he has not had the success he hoped for thus far in NAPW. The Provincial Champion, a finalist in the Canada Cup, a man with many wins under his belt. But Kurt Castle is a proud man. To him, it is unacceptable that at Black Thursday II he lost to Chad Kurtis. It is unacceptable that Billy Kryenik was able to pin him. It is absolutely, utterly unfathomable that Tommy Deathrow was - however briefly - named the Provincial Champion after pinning Castle with the help of a steel chair. Commissioner Winchell overturned the result of that match, and Castle retained the Provincial Title.
But that is unacceptable for Kurt Castle. He wants to be - he MUST be - the best. Undisputed. Turning back all challengers. And at Cold Snap, he will face a man who has beaten the biggest man on the NAPW roster...
Few men in NAPW are as tough as "Big Bad" Brian Bruno. Yet it was not toughness that led Bruno to earning the fastest win in NAPW history over the monster Krenshov, it was intelligence. Brian Bruno has shown an uncanny ability to think on the fly and adapt to any situation in the ring. He has come close to gold before, just coming up short in two TV Title attempts. But he is today exuding confidence and at the peak of his physical condition.
NAPW gold on the line. Pride on the line. Kurt Castle must have redemption. He wears the belt, but only when he defeats Brian Bruno at Cold Snap in definitive fashion will he truly feel he has proved to the world at large that he is indeed a champion. Unfortunately, Brian Bruno is intent on proving the exact same thing. Two of NAPW's toughest bulls will meet head to head, smashmouth and full steam ahead. Only one walks out the Provincial Champion.
SPECIAL TAG MATCH Patrick Bickle & Simply Beautiful vs "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees & David Banks
Patrick Bickle is man who did not see his career take off when he became NAPW champion. Rather - the stress of being the target crippled him mentally. Bickle has fallen onto hard times in the standings, and has been targeted by his nemesis "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees.
But Bickle has one friend left in NAPW, the hottest young wrestler to hit the squared circle in some time. Simply Beautiful has been waging war with "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees... and so Rees brought in a man who hates Simply Beautiful with everything he is. David Banks has returned to NAPW with a new attitude and new arsenal... but the same loathing for Simply Beautiful.
With "The Lemondrop Kid" riding high after pinning the NAPW Champion in a Four-Corners match just one week prior, the rankings will take a back seat. All four men will meet in the ring. There will be no sneak attacks from outside. There will be no attacks from the crowd. Bickle and SB. Rees and Banks. Step up.
Kevin Kodiak & Legion vs Next Generation
Two teams have been quietly tearing up the NAPW tag scene since the new year. The powerhouse team of Kevin Kodiak and Legion will look to stake their claim as #1 contenders to the tag belts with a win over the "worldwid" team of Next Generation. One week ago Next Generation were handed their first loss against the team of Castle and Krenshov - two giants of men in their own rights. And yet despite the size discrepancy, the incredible HEART of Sakai and Santiago shone through in that contest. They did not win the match that night, but they won respect in the eyes of the fans.
The size and strength advantage for Kodiak & Legion is obvious, and the big men have been dominant in their matches since setting aside their differences to team up. But now, with one loss on their records, Sakai and Santiago are more determined than ever to prove that they are indeed the "next generation" of tag team wrestling.
Jay O'Brien vs Johnny Rotten
The undefeated rookies of NAPW will square off. Jay O'Brien, the englishmen, the younger brother of wrestling veteran "Awesome" Andy O'Brien: 3-0. Johnny Rotten, the young punk upstart who is directly responsible for the end to NAPW alumni Don Travelli's career: 2-0. Unfortunately for Rotten, he got on Commissioner Winchell's bad side... and the opportunistic Jay O'Brien saw his opening. One man's streak will come to an end in a match that will have huge ranking implications. This could be the show-stealer, folks.
SIX-MAN SCRAMBLE MATCH Marcus Chamberlain vs Dio Muerte vs Krusty Kid Paul vs Jack "Grey Knight" Saffire vs Dez Carter vs Maxx Xtreme
Six men with different goals, different styles, different careers. At Cold Snap they will wrestle in a match that can only have one winner. A winner who will certainly rocket into title contention. NAPW newcomers Marcus Chamberlain, Maxx Extreme and Jack Saffire have this platform to truly breakout. Veterans Dez Carter, Krusty Kid Paul would each like to get their career back on track with a huge win on Pay-Per-View. The wildcard Dio Muerte, as of late on a winning streak, has to be considered the favorite. But when you get six bodies flying in and out of the ring, first pinfall or submission finishes... anything can happen!
OWNERSHIP vs MASK R. Joseph Winchell III vs MR. CANADA
Who is Mr. Canada? For most wrestling fans, the answer is simply: "He's Mr. Canada!"
That answer is not good enough for NAPW owner R. Joseph Winchell III. He is obsessed with proving that Mr. Canada is, in fact, former NAPW Champion "The Nexus One" Rex Caliber. The past few months have not been kind to Winchell's sanity. The Men In Black, the stress of running a successful wrestling promotion, his overwhelming hatred for The New & Improved D-X...
And the return of Mr. Canada. It is safe to say that Winchell has snapped. And yet he still - somewhere inside his twisted black heart - retains the desire to prove to his father that he could indeed run NAPW better than anyone. That when fans read about NAPW years down the road, it would be his name that was synonymous with the rise of New Alberta Pro on the wrestling scene.
The truth, however, is that Winchell's partisan politics have been destroying NAPW from inside out. On the surface attendance is up. The company has expanded into Pay-Per-View. Merchandise sales are higher than they have ever been. And yet the company is losing money. Winchell's desire to become the best over-rode common sense. It was Mr. Canada who came bearing the horrible truth - NAPW is almost bankrupt.
The demise of NAPW, however, is not something either Mr. Canada or Joseph Winchell want to see. Yet still Winchell's maniacal obsession with Mr. Canada's true identity continues, to the extent that he challenged Mr. Canada to a match with insane stipulations. He wanted Mr. Canada's mask. Mr. Canada agreed, on one condition: Winchell would put up ownership of NAPW, legitimately, in exchange. Winchell refused... until Mr. Canada revealed that he knew of the financial issues.
Mr. Canada upped the ante: He would put his mask on the line versus Joseph's ownership... but if Joey did indeed win, not only would the Canada mask come off? But Mr. Canada would personally bankroll NAPW with private money to ensure it continues on into the future. However if Mr. Canada wins the contest, R. Joseph Winchell III will transfer all ownership of NAPW to Mr. Canada.
It is not the main event. It is not for a title. It is not for rankings. But no match in NAPW history has had such direct reprecussions on the very existence of the promotion such as this. It will be Mr. Canada vs R. Joseph Winchell III, the former "Bad Boy" Joey Malone, one-on-one. Mask vs Ownership! One way or another, one of these two men will be FINISHED after Cold Snap!

Four of NAPW's hottest wrestlers collide one week prior to Cold Snap. Evan Cartwright and Ravager, of course, have an uneasy respect towards one another. Lloyd Rees wants nothing more than to get another shot at the NAPW Title he has held twice. And "Sick" Billy Kryenik has this opportunity to prove he can hang with the main eventers. He is the only man in the match-up not to have held the NAPW Title. Though the title is not at stake, so much pride and momentum is. Who will survive?``x-PURE HONOR TITLE MATCH- Chris Casino (c) vs Patrick Bickle
Will the most renowned Pure Honor champion be the man to take the Kiniski Cup from the hands of Chris Casino? Patrick Bickle certainly would like to once again hold the pure gold, but there is no way he can be at 100% after Kenny Krenshov essentially mauled him last week. The Untouchables certainly would not want to lose gold heading into the PPV, either.
Kevin Kodiak & Legion vs North T. Gunderson & Dez Carter
The unlikely team of Kodiak and Legion seeks to add another tag team win to their record against the fair-play team of Gunderson & Carter. The question is, will North Gunderson actually show up for this match, or will Dez once again team with Johnston Rawk? Kodiak & Legion won't care either way.
-INTERPROMOTIONAL MATCH- The New & Improved D-X (NAPW Tag Team Champions) vs The Expositioner & Mystic Ninja (Gastown Wrestling Alliance Tag Team Champions)
Neither title is on the line in this interpromotional match-up. Commissioner Winchell has seen fit to match D-X up against the champions of a promotion featured heavily in the history of Roberts & Richards. The Midnight Cowboys will be watching this one with interest.
Simply Beautiful vs David Banks
Last week "The Chairman of the NAPW" laid Simply Beautiful out with his steel chair after SB defeated The Plague. It seems that an alliance exists between David Banks and "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees. This match is one to watch, folks.
The Untouchables (Krenshov/Castle) vs Next Generation
Next Generation have been quietly racking up tag team victories since debuting in NAPW, rising as far as #2 in the tag rankings. Unfortunately for them, on their first Tuesday Night Fights appearance Santiago & Sakai must step into the ring against over 600 pounds of undulterated anger and violence. Kenny Krenshov has injured and eliminated men from NAPW. Kurt Castle is looking to prove that he is worthy of the Provincial title after a controversial retention last week. NAPW's "Next dream team" Next Generation may simply be the next victims on The Untouchables hitlist.

Last week in a brutal submission match, Lloyd Rees regained the NAPW Title from the suicidal submission machine Patrick Bickle... with an assist to Evan Cartwright, who's Toasty! Uppercut left Bickle vulnerable to the Conception Bay Chinlock. This Tuesday night, Rees & Bickle meet one more time, this time in the confines of a 15 foot high steel cage! No one gets in, and no one gets out. It's pinfall or submission inside the steel, NAPW title on the line!``x-#1 CONTENDER'S MATCH- Ravager vs "Perfection" Evan Cartwright
After a huge singles loss to The Plague last week, Ravager finds his #1 Contender status in jeopardy. That spot and a title shot at Black Thursday II is on the line when Ravager meets "Perfection" Evan Cartwright. Cartwright came so close to winning the NAPW Title at Hostile Hangover's fatal-fourway title match. He wants another shot to prove he is the best choice ... no... the perfect choice to be Champion.
Pride and a chance at the top gold in New Alberta Pro on the line in this one, folks.
-KINISKI CUP- Simply Beautiful (c) vs Chris Casino For weeks now, NAPW fans have heard whisperings about a man returning to NAPW to "restore honor" to the Pure division, targeting super-hot Pure champion Simply Beautiful. Last week the fans were introduced to... the RETURNING Chris Casino! Fans thought they saw his last match ever at Anniversary Assault, but he is back, and he wants a piece of Simply Beautiful. Can the most hated man in NAPW history, Casino, even wrestle a pure honor match? How will Simply Beautiful handle the biggest challenge yet to his title reign?
-NO DQ, NO COUNT-OUT- "The Show" Chad Kurtis vs Kisei Mashiin
"The Show" Chad Kurtis vs "The Devastator" Kurt Castle
In a tag match last week, Kurt Castle walked out on his partner Legion, allowing Chad Kurtis & Brian Bruno to get the win. After the match, Castle once again laid out "The Show." An irate Show demanded a match from Comissioner Joseph Winchell. The ever-cranky commish decided that Kurtis would get his match, but for his "insolence" he would also make a rematch between Kurtis and Kisei Mashiin... on the same night! Chad Kurtis has an uphill road to climb on Tuesday Night... will he be up to the challenge?
-TAG TEAM TITLE SHOT TOURNAMENT- Dez Carter & North T. Gunderson vs The Royal Foundation
In a semi-final match, The Royal Foundation will take on the surprising team of Dez Carter & North T. Gunderson. Dez & North scored a big tag team win last week in their first match as a team... can they translate their combined skills and mutual respect into a tag team title shot? They'll have to get past the hungry Foundation first.
And Commissioner R. Joseph Winchell III has demanded that S.A.D. meet him in the ring for an interrogation! Winchell is convinced that Thomas Deathrow and Krusty Kid Paul --- the SAD --- are behind the Man In Black that has interefered in quite a few matches, always against the man Winchell favors. Winchell has ordered that SAD meet him in the ring for an "interrogation" on Tuesday Night Fights. Will he get to the bottom of the mystery? ``xSaskatoon, Saskatchewan``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xNAPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Now, this Thursday night, the Prelude series concludes with Prelude 4, and opponents from last Thursday will have to find a way to get along as partners in the first-ever tag team contest in Revolution Pro history!
Lance Titan and Xias are both coming off their first defeats in RevPro competition, and now they'll both be teaming with the men who handed them those very losses! It will be Xias & longtime nemesis Eron in one corner, and the Wind Walker Lance Titan & Shawn Arrows in the other. Both sides have their fair share of issues to work through.
We've never seen Lance Titan as a loser before last week. The question now is, how will the uber-confident Man of Tomorrow deal with his first defeat? Will he come back next week stronger than ever, or is this the start of a slump for Titan? Arrows, meanwhile, will be out to prove his first win over Titan wasn't a fluke. He's going up against a man who pretty much destroyed him on Prelude 1, Xias, and a man who he went to a double DQ with in Eron. Will Arrows be able to hold up his end of the baragin?
Meanwhile, the other side of the ring will have even more issues to work through. Last week, things got ugly between Xias & Eron. After a ref bump, Eron went for a low blow, only for Xias to avoid it and hit one of his own. Eron responded by going to the floor for a steel chair, but in retrospect it all appears to be a ruse now. Eron took his sweet time going to hit Xias with the chair, giving Xias plenty of time to cut him off and grab the chair for himself. However, when Xias bashed his hated rival over the head with that very chair, the recovered referee saw it and called for the bell, awarding Eron the win via disqualification.
Now, just a week after all that chaos, these two men have to find a way to work together against Shawn Arrows and Lance Titan. Xias & Eron are both many things, but neither man has a particular love for losing. Will the desire to win be enough to bring them together against Titan & Arrows, or will it be a long night for the Lone Rogue and the Undeniable One?
Let's not forget that this week's event is the final Revolution Pro event in its current timeslot. On Thanksgiving we will kick off a new, as-yet-unnamed series an hour earlier on FX, and the new show will be expanded from Prelude's half-hour events to a full hour every week! Along with the new hour-long program will come new wrestlers, the four members of the 2nd Class. We were introduced to all four men on Prelude 3 in a series of four short vignettes. Now, this week on Prelude 4, Thanatos, Carson Nash, Capital Punishment, and Sway will all appear together in a special promotional video to end the event! What will the 2nd Class have to say just a week out from their arrival?
There's certainly a lot of questions heading into the final Prelude event, and the only way to find out all the answers is to tune in live this Thursday night at 11 p.m. EST, only on FX!``xManhattan, New York at Webster Hall``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xRevPro``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The final two singles matches of the 1st Class will take place at Webster Hall, not to mention a HUGE announcement will kick off the show! What does Prelude 3 have in store?
Yes, you just read that right. The very moment Prelude 3 kicks off, we will have by far the biggest announcement in Revolution Pro's short history. RevPro head announcer Clint Connor will already be in the ring when Prelude 3 comes on the air to make the announcement. The obvious question now is, just what will this announcement be? Well, we've heard our fair share of speculation here, but even we don't know for sure, so you'll just have to tune in to FX this Thursday night at the very start of the show to find out!
Meanwhile, one could definitely argue that the first two weeks of Revolution Pro have been building up to Thursday night's matches. The last singles matches of the 1st Class, the only matches that have yet to happen amongst the four, will happen on Prelude 3! The main event is a match that hasn't happened since 2004, a match between two men with a lot of history. Xias admitted publicly the main reason he brought the infamous Eron the Relentless into Revolution Pro is so he could get his re-match with him, and now on Prelude 3 at Webster Hall, that match will finally take place. Eron vs. Xias, one-on-one, is your main event! The biggest main event in Revolution Pro history! Will Xias finally pin Eron for the first time, or will Eron finally taste victory for the first time in RevPro?
A match almost as big puts the two fan favorites of the 1st Class head-to-head for the first time in either of their careers! Last week Shawn Arrows came out to help Lance Titan when he was sneak attacked by Eron & Xias, and now this week they'll be opponents in the ring! Titan is riding a gigantic wave of momentum, coming off a pinfall victory over Eron on Prelude 1 and coming half a second away from another pin over Xias on Prelude 2. Shawn Arrows, meanwhile, started off a bit slower with a somewhat-tainted loss to Xias on Prelude 1, but rebounding to nearly beat Eron last week. It's undeniable, however, that Titan has more momentum than his opponent from Greensboro, as he's yet to taste defeat here in Revolution Pro while Arrows has yet to pick up a victory. Will Titan continue his incredible momentum by defeating the veteran, or will Arrows be the man who discovers a chunk in Titan's so far impenetrable armor? All these questions and much more will be answered live this tonight at 11 P.M eastern, only on FX!``xManhattan, New York at Webster Hall``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xRevPro``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

If you're confused, the 1st Class are the initial four wrestlers who debuted in Rev-Pro (30 minute shows). Not too long from now, another four will be brought in (2nd Class). Following the first Pay Per View, the 3rd Class (eight wrestlers) will arrive. Both tag teams and singles wrestlers are wanted for the 3rd Class. There are only about four spots left.

What's on tap for Prelude 2? Two more huge matches as the 1st Class continues to do battle!
Prelude 1 saw the 1st Class of Revolution Pro introduce themselves to the American public in grand fashion, and two match-ups resulted. One had a somewhat predictable result, but the other was far less predictable. Xias defeated Greensboro native Shawn Arrows in relatively short order, and he has sent word to this website that he is the "Ace of RevPro".
One man who may beg to differ with that statement is Lance Titan. The Wind Walker picked up a stunning upset victory over the infamous Eron the Relentless in Prelude 1's main event. Now, these two men who are both riding high will come face-to-face in the middle of the ring. One of these two men will go home 2-0 and may be able to make a real case for themself as the Ace of RevPro, while the other will take their first loss in Revolution Pro competition. Will Xias do what his longtime nemesis Eron failed to do and defeat the young upstart, or will Titan make it two veterans he's put down in just two weeks of Revolution Pro competition? You'll find out live this Thursday night in our Prelude 2 main event!
Meanwhile, the two men who both came out of Prelude 1 as losers will face off in a match of their own. For Eron, it's a chance to prove his shocking loss to Titan last week was simply a chance fluke that won't be repeated anytime soon. For Shawn Arrows, it's a chance to turn around almost four years of disappointing results in overwhelming fashion- by defeating a bonafide legend. We'll find out which will be successful live on Thursday night!
Many fans were quite surprised at how Prelude 1 ended. After Eron's shocking loss to Lance Titan, none other than longtime nemesis Xias came out to taunt Eron over it. Eron attacked him, and Titan himself flew out of the ring onto both men! Now, with emotions running high, rumor has it that Eron is going to make his presence felt at the beginning of this week's show! What will Eron have to say to both Xias & Titan following the end of last week's show? You'll have to tune in to find out!
Finally, we heard some brief rumblings from the announce team last week over the 2nd Class, but we still don't really know anything about them. Will we find out any more details on just who these four wrestlers are and when we can expect them to debut in Revolution Pro?
Don't miss all the action when Prelude 2 comes LIVE this Thursday night at 11 P.M. eastern time, 10 central, 8 pacific on FX. Clint Connor & Riley Simms will once again be there to call all the action, and we hope you'll join us again too!

-RAVAGER'S HOUSE OF HORRORS- All five remaining wrestlers from NAPW's first show one year ago will compete!
Ravager vs D! vs "The Moose" Mark Millar vs Stylin' Kyle Roberts vs Bruce "The Beast" Richards
A steel cage filled with weapons will be the battleground. The unique way to win is to handcuff your opponents, as there will be four sets of handcuffs, one on each wall of the cage. So the last man NOT handcuffed is the winner. The winner will get five minutes alone with the men and the keys to the handcuffs.
-FATAL FOURWAY FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE- "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees (c) vs Patrick Bickle vs "Perfection" Evan Cartwright vs "Outlaw" Patrick Kidd
First pinfall or submission ends the match... With his new "Winner's Circle" stable behind him, "The Lemondrop Kid" may not have the odds stacked against him that much after all. Kidd, Patrick Bickle and Evan Cartwright are all looking for their first NAPW title victory, however... all three men have momentum coming into this match. It will be wild and uncontrolled, but when the smoke clears, a definitive NAPW champion will be crowned. ``x-TELEVISION TITLE MATCH- -NO TIME LIMIT, MUST BE A WINNER- The Yellow Chicken (c) vs Jeff James
This is it, the final match between The Yellow Chicken and Jeff James. One month ago the two fought to a the TV Title time limit. There's no time limit this time... there must be a winner.
-NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH FOR THE NAPW TAG TITLES- -SUPERSTAR RULES- S.A.D. vs Celtic Assassins vs Stiff Competition

-KINISKI CUP MATCH- -PURE HONOR RULES- Simply Beautiful (c) vs Round-Robin Winner
The Pure Honor champion scored a DQ victory over "The Lemondrop Kid" this past TNF. Now, he must await the winner of the Action! round-robin... will SB defend his cup against David Banks?

-TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH- The Royal Foundation vs "Big Bad" Brian Bruno & a partner of his choosing
The feud between Brian Bruno and Royal Foundation members Thomas Young and Prince Darko has only escalated in recent weeks. After suffering a vicious 2 on 1 beating this past TNF, Brian Bruno has the chance to even the odds. Trouble is, after nobody came to his aid, who will be his partner?
-ALUMNI MATCH- -TRIPLE-CROWN WINNERS TANGLE- Chris Casino vs Static
The first two Triple-Crown winners in NAPW history have never met in a singles contest. For One Night Only, they return to do battle for pride and the right to be called "the most hated man in NAPW history." It could be a mat classic, it could be a violent brawl... one thing's for certain, it will be awesome.
-ALUMNI MATCH- -ONE NIGHT ONLY- J.C. Cook vs The Crusher
And in another alumni match, the fan-favorite JC Cook returns to NAPW rings. His opponent? The first TV Champion, The Crusher! These two wrestlers have never crossed paths before. Will The Crusher be able to survive the "Pressure Cooker," or will JC Cook "kill... or be crushed?" It'll be a barn burner.

They won't get the opportunity to wrestle for the Pure Honor title on the biggest show in NAPW's history, but those two men - whoever they may be - will get a chance for redemption, wrestling for the #1 contendership to the Pure Honor title!

Mr. Adam Gnosis is shown sitting in his office looking on his computer. He seems distracted like something important is going on. Maybe he received some type of important bulletin, or it could be something as simple as his girlfriend seeing if he wants chicken for dinner.
In any regard, the camera guy coughs and off camera, points to the red light to signify that this shot is live. Mr. Gnosis gives the kid a smart look, like he's saying "You don't want a job anymore, do you?", without actually saying it.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this video is to be issued to all talent joining for the first time or returning from the past. My name is Adam Gnosis, but for all of you, I will be addressed only as Mr. Adam Gnosis or Mr. Gnosis.
I am the owner, lead booker, promoter, your boss, the guy who signs your paychecks, gives you title shots, and makes you the star. But before you start off here in nSm, I want to make sure we get off to the right track by letting you know -- I am your boss.
If I am to say jump you ask how high, if I say job you ask how many times, if I say to go down to the ring in a clown suit, then you better get your ass down to the ring in a clown suit.
In return for your never ending loyalty I will allow you to lace up your boots and compete in my ring. For some of the most valued gold in the industry. Sometimes the odds may be stacked up against you, other times they could be rolling in your favor. But rest assured, you're in one of the biggest sport entertainment businesses there is today. We are broad casted into twenty different countries and translated into four languages.
With that being said, if you need anything from me, you would be wise not to ask me. I have placed people in certain positions and those are the people you should ask for help. But do not take this as a sign of weakness because I am not afraid to get my hands dirty.
In closing, I would like to say welcome to nSm, I'm sure you'll make my stay here just as enjoyable as I'll make yours.
Adam Gnosis pauses for a second and then starts writing on some paper. After a few more seconds he looks up and tells the camera guy that he is dismissed, which leads to the scene fading to black.``xVacant``xRP-Angle Hybrid``xWeekly``xJan. 2000``xAccepting applications ``xnsmnetwork.com``xnsm.jpg``xYes``xnSm``xNon-Stop Matches``xarewhyfor``xarewhyfor@nsmnetwork.com``x``xYes``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Lord Thog; World Title Tournament ``xOne week removed from one of the most 'intense' editions of Intensity we've had in quite some time Mr. Gnosis is wasting no time to get things kicked off right.
Last week Crisis defeated The Genius Jun to inadvertently become the new nSm World Cruiserweight Champion, thanks to Mr. Gnosis. This week he will take on the valet and manager of “Iron Man” Scott Douglas, Lacey Steele, and it will be for the nSm World Cruiserweight Championship. But what about The Genius Jun? It's hard to believe that he will sit idly by after such a hard fought battle last week.
Also Scott Styles advanced last week to earn the right to battle for the Transcontinental Championship, who will advance this week to meet him at the Pay-Per-View, Tournament of Champions?
Plus last week we saw Aero Ace defeat three other opponents in a fatal four way talent exhibition match. Mr. Gnosis was so impressed in Ace's match he booked him against a debuting Van “The Man” McNeal in a nSm World Heavyweight Championship qualifying match.
Speaking of nSm World Heavyweight Championship qualifying matches, last week it was announced that “The Warlock” Tres Rios will get one more chance to advance in the tournament as he takes on Lord Thog. Mr. Adam Gnosis will be sitting at ring side once again to ensure the integrity of the match.

Prior to the show's beginning, a short question-and-answer session was held with Jimothy Ostrander and fan-favorite referee Kevin Arson, with Arson signing autographs afterwards.
The night began with King X and Oushiza taking on the tag team the Red Scare in an all-newcomers match. The Red Scare established themselves as a very solid tag team in the match as the first really united unit in KINGPro, giving the fans a strong match to start the evening.
Maldito and Kerry Ritter squared off in the night's second match-up, a contest that ended short but decisively. Did Maldito cement himself once again as a force to be reckoned with, or did Ritter make a quick name for himself?

Warlock ``xThursday, August 31st live on FX. nSm Intensity makes it's re-debut where it all started. That's right we will be broadcasting live from the nSm Arena in Atlanta, Ga and is there ever an action packed show planned.
It's been two years since we've seen Mr. Adam Gnosis and he isn't wasting any time as he plans to open up the show with a huge announcement. It's been speculated that Gnosis will finally announce who he's picked as the acting manager and will review the details of his job description. We already know that the acting manager will have the power to book matches for Intensity and Pay-Per-Views, but what else will this person bring to the the table?
What has been disclosed is the huge main event that has been signed for Intensity where Kevin "K-9" Watson will take on Warlock in a no disqualification match. Senior official Miles Armstrong will be in charge of this match, and Mr. Adam Gnosis will be at ring side as the special guest enforcer. Mr. Gnosis is doing everything he can to protect his investment, where we will see the winner advance one step closer to the nSm World Championship.
Also we will see Scott Styles take on Lawless in a title qualifying match, along with "The Human Predator", T.J. Holmes taking on Lex Stone.
In addition Mr. Gnosis has also guaranteed that the status of the Transcontinental and Cruiserweight Championships will be addressed.
All this and more at the debuting Intensity.

In the aftermath, one of these men became a points leader.``xANDERS DURAN vs. SHAWN DIAMOND Anders Duran opened the night with Shawn Diamond, squaring off in an intense battle that saw both men going to the limit. In the match, however, Duran accidentally knocked into Diamond's valet and manager Nikki during the match. Diamond had this to say: "I thought the match was a hard-fought match that could have went either way. Things became really personal when he took out Nikki." Diamond continued on, stating that this was far from over and that Duran would pay for his actions. Duran has made no comment as of yet.
PAUL CASHAW vs. FUSION Paul Cashaw and Fusion locked up in a memorable match-up that saw both men seeking to beat each other and prove that their side was right; Fusion defended the side of entertainment while Cashaw upheld the cause of purer wrestling. Harsh words from both sides were exchanged at the show.
Other Notes: - Keith Dylan James gave an interview that was released on the webcast and future DVD extra. - Kratos! Magazine has conducted an interview with Daniel Stann that touches on many issues WfWA and PTC related. - KINGPro's Dupree Cup status is still up in the air, but Stann and the Board are reportedly leaning heavily in the direction of fielding a team.``xShowplace Arena, Memphis, Tennessee``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``xKINGPro``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Fusion took on PTC hyperstar Seymour Almasy in a titanic bout. Those who thought Fusion would lay down for Almasy were proven wrong, but does that mean that the Fuse brought enough to the table to earn the win?``xThe opening match was a tag team bout pitting the team of Anders Duran and Alex Knight against Maldito and Paul Cashaw. The match turned out to be a solid tag encounter and a good opener for the show.
The next match featured the refined and cocky Hoju battling against the stiff-as-god's-balls brawler Keith Dylan James in a match that might be talked about for ages. Both men had a difficult time gaining any sort of advantage in the match and, despite not using any weapons of any sort, they were both dangerously near to drawing blood.

GOLD RUSH Changes Announced``xChad``xANNIVERSARY's ULTIMATE GOLD RUSH match already has 35 participants signed up for their chance to win the UNIFIED World Title or one of the CSWA's three other championships. The match is still open to all-comers to sign up through the end of the weekend.
The CSWA's owner, Stephen Thomas, made an additional announcement about the GOLD RUSH available today via press release. Instead of the winner from each battle royal in the four outer rings advancing to the center ring to face Troy Windham for the UNIFIED Title, he has doubled the number of participants available to advance.
The final TWO battle royal participants in each of the four rings will advance to the center ring, meaning that UNIFIED Champion Troy Windham could potentially face an 8-on-1 encounter to try and retain his title. However, with the other titles on the line, there must be an acknowledged winner in each ring before the two can move on to the center ring.

Ivy League: The Most Painful Column``xChad``xTHE IVY LEAGUE: THE MOST PAINFUL COLUMN I'VE EVER WRITTEN
I would avoid it if I could.
I would go on strike, boycott the CSWA website, and drop the reins back between Teri's Melons, if I could. I would do anything in my power and anything out of its reach to avoid saying these six words about the Gold Rush match. But, despite the fact that my columns are slanted to my opinions, and I don't make any secret of that, I am also a firm believer in facts and truth.
Goddamn, this is painful.
Troy Windham is going to win.
There, it's done. Put a bullet in the back of my head before I get the chance.
I hate Troy Windham. I wish excruciating death on this man for the hell he spent a decade putting myself, Eli Flair, Eli's pretty wife and daughter through. Troy Windham is the only wrestler that I've wished career - ending injury on.
But Troy Windham is currently proving, with very little effort on his part, that his UNIFIED Championship belongs right where it is, around his waist. You self - righteous, self - serving, egotistical little fuckwit, I will never forgive you for being such a damn fine wrestler.
It's not all Troy, however. This GOLD RUSH match (that Thomas owes me a nickel for every time someone says the name) hasn't exactly brought out the cream of the crop. On one hand, this is a good thing, because a lot of the established names over the past few years - PARTICULARLY the wrestlers who were active and household names the last time the UNIFIED title was in its prime - have either retired or are indifferent. This is going to force those unknowns to really dig down and show what they're made of.
On the other hand... Xias? Eron the Relentless Suckfest?
Troy was right, Xias - you'll never become Unified Champion doing a poor man's impression of the Unified champion seven years ago. Damn you, Xias, to the pits of hell for making me agree with Troy. And Eron, as he was so fond of pointing out, hasn't done anything of value in seven years now.
Nine years ago, Troy Windham was the CSWA World Champion. Seven years ago he was still wrestling for that very same belt. Eron screwed the Frenchie, which is a few hundred steps below the Poopman being Greensboro Champion.
But let me break it down for you. The UNIFIED Championship is something akin to a legend in the world of professional wrestling. This was the belt that defined an entire industry for a period of two years back in the mid 1990s, and the champions who held that belt are household names everywhere.
Hornet.
Mark Windham.
Mike Randalls.
Steven Flair.
These were men who defined the industry - and are still defining that industry. These are the men that the UNIFIED champion has to measure up to.
How many of the Gold Rush participants will still be relevant in a year? In five? In eighteen? Make the jokes about the CSWA while you can - the company has been struggling in the past few years but the impact is still second to none. And if it's not, why is everyone here fighting for the CSWA's gold?
And if it's not, why did the former Eastern Hemisphere Champion spend at least forty percent of his talking time during Week Eight referencing the CSWA? Why did the former Eastern Hemisphere Champion privately beg for another shot?
I've gotta go with the odds, however, and that unless someone shows me something beyond a two - dimensional caricature of what a professional wrestler is expected to be, none of you have what it takes to hold the UNIFIED Championship. There's been a lot of talk, and a lot of wrestlers either blending in with each other or square-peg fitting into one of a dozen character types, but there's been not a single glimpse of anyone who can hold a candle to the King of the Slackers.
Except for Dan Ryan. Please don't let me down.
Because if you don't, I don't think these kids have near the skills to save the CSWA from the King of the Slackers. And I don't think I can deal with a reality where Troy Windham comes out on top.
I feel dirty just saying it.

D-X responded with "We've always been able to cheat on our own, kiddo." Will D-X feel reprecussions for saying no to Winchell?``xDextro vs Dez Carter: Over the past two weeks, Dextro won four straight contests, taking him all the way to the Pure Honor championship - dethroning the phenomenal Patrick Bickle in an upset. Now, a rematch from the finals of the Pure Honor tournament. It's Dez Carter's first NAPW title shot, can he make good or will Dextro continue his winning ways?
Patrick Bickle vs North T. Gunderson: Suprise is the order of the day regarding both Pure Honor wrestlers. Bickle lost his Kiniski Cup at LAWN, and is looking to get back into Pure title contention. North Gunderson wants to ride the momentum following his huge win over Stylin' Kyle Roberts to the top of the division. Both men may still be injured going into this match... so the question is, can North gut through the pain? NAPW fans know Patrick Bickle can.
Static vs Wayne Wright: Announced today: On TNF for August 1st, Static WILL challenge D! for the NAPW Title in a rematch. The decree came down from Commish Joseph Winchell earlier this morning. But before that, Static will get a chance to take his anger out on Winchell's most hated rival: poor, poor Wayne Wright. As a reward for trying to do the right thing at LAWN (helping Rex Caliber...), Wright now gets to wrestle the One Man Crimes Spree, the sickest son of a bitch in NAPW history.
Evan Cartwright & Ravager vs Dream Come True Two of the most deadly wrestlers in NAPW, each scoring a career win at LAWN. Now, the #2 and #1 contenders to the NAPW Title have been given a so-called 'warm up' match by Commish Joseph Malone against the upstarts in Dream Come True. The commish would love nothing more than to see such a popular new team get turned into paste by VIOLENCE INTERNATIONAL's head honcho and NAPW's Hired Gun... especially after Ainsley Lake defeated Evan's ally Thomas Deathrow, forcing the SUPERSTAR to wear a dress. Can Dream Come True step up to the plate, or will they strike out facing such a challenge?
Lloyd Rees vs Nightmare: In a strange turn of events, new Provincial Champion Lloyd Rees requested a title defense against the man who's been haunting him since returning to NAPW. Now that Lloyd Rees has faced his fear of ketchup, will he be able to face his nightmares?
Promo vs Krusty Kid Paul: The extreme masked man has made quite an impact on NAPW, but he looks for his first win against one half of the SEXY, ADORABLE DRUNKS when he takes on Krusty Kid Paul - Hardcore Rules.``xEdmonton AB``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The show was stacked from top to bottom as New ERA pulled out all the stops. Matthew took on the returning Chris McMillan. In another bout Alex Borden finally made his in ring return as he took on the increasingly odd Jason Payne.. or did he? Steve Johnson looked to go 2-0 in New ERA as he faced the man who shocked the world at RAUCOUS, 'the Phenom' Shawn Hart who made his return to in-ring action ... Foxx and Victoria Hawke locked horns once more in a rematch of their heated battle from last RAUCOUS .. but this time, Women's Champion Karla Starr had a surprise special stipulation in store for them! The Masked Man overcame the odds last week by defeating Jonathan Marx, John Doe, and New ERA's World Champion the Phantom Republican ... but was he be able to defeat Juliet Marceau's latest hitman, LoC superstar Turk? Mr. Entertainment won his shot at the Television title ... but did he defeat MWG the second time around? Jonathan Marx faced Rocko Daymon in what looked to be a clear match of the night contender .. and with the Phantom Republican having the night off, one has to wonder if was still in the arena. Finally, in the main event, three men .. one title ... Trevor Cane cost Chaos the PRODIGY Classic Xtreme title with a fireball to his face .. John Doe had his hands full with both men gunning for him ... as they did battle on a SCAFFOLD ... all this .. as New ERA turned two years old .... make sure to tune in on 02.03.06 for New ERA RAUCOUS!

"Pure Honor" Division Announced``xChad``xEDMONTON, AB
New Alberta Pro Wrestling recently announced the formation of a new "Pure Honor" division within NAPW. The division will be based around a "Code of Honor" to stifle cheating and promote sportsmanship.
While the honor system harkens back to a different, more noble era, the wrestling action is in all ways progressive: Showcasing a variety of styles including Lucha Libre, American high-flying, submission wrestling, traditional mat and more.
The competitors in the "Pure Honor" division will compete for the Kiniski Cup, so named for Edmonton-born professional wrestling Hall of Famer Gene Kiniski. "Canada's Greatest Athlete" held dozens of championships all over the world and was an ambassador for Canadian wrestling as a whole. It is with pride NAPW pays tribute to a wrestling legend.
DETAILS:
-Pure Honor matches will end and finish with a handshake between competitors. -Each competitor will receive three rope breaks. When they have used the rope breaks up, they cannot make the ropes to break a hold or submission. -The division operates on a challenge/ranking basis. Wrestlers should challenge wrestlers that are ranked above them. Open challenges are allowed, but the Champion may refuse a challenge from all but the number one contender.
To ensure the Code Of Honor is adhered to, NAPW has taken several steps.
-Any wrestler that cheats in a Pure Honor match will be thrown out of the division and lose their ranking. To return to the Pure Honor division, a wrestler must wrestle a qualifying match according to the Code, proving worthy of returning. -Video replay will be conducted immediately following every match to ensure no cheating occurs 'behind the referee's back.' -Should the Pure Honor champion cheat in a match, the challenger wins the Cup and the erring wrestler will be tossed out of the division as above.
The Pure Honor Division will open up with a small round-robin tournament to determine the first Kiniski Cup champion. NAPW is pleased to showcase the pure wrestling skills of involved wrestlers in this division.
============================
COMPLETE CONTROL takes place May 1 in Seattle, WA. In the main event, The Charitable Trust & The New Found Alliance take on Static, Ravager and two more men yet to be named in WAR GAMES.
============================
NAPW is currently accepting applications for face/fan-favorite wrestlers (we have a mild glut of heels), particularly looking for a couple face tag teams.

The Ivy League: Hemispheres``xhexedangel``xThis particular part of my gig can be hard sometimes. By nature, I'm supposed to let the Psycho Bitch run wild in the Ivy League. By nature, I'm supposed to take this opportunity to rant about everything that angers me about this business and sport and let it fly here. You've seen it - with columns titled 'Fuck you, Erik Kelly' and 'Relentless,' my rant against Teri Fucking Melton, and my untitled commentary on when the OCW split from the fWo. Behind the anger and the Psycho Bitchery, I've tried to keep an objective nature. It's been easiest, of course, when I haven't had a personal stake in the situation at hand. That being said, in the past year and a half or so there have been drastically fewer columns coming out, because I haven't been angry.
I know, it's hard to believe, but I haven't been angry. Besides that, I've been doing a lot less in-front-of-camera Poison Ivy things since 2003, and a lot more behind-the-scenes Ivy McGinnis things. And I genuinely like just about all the boys, and just about all the girls. It's really hard for me to get angry enough to write one of these anymore.
Of course, sometimes it's damned easy. And if this offends you then you're probably part of the problem, you egotistical son of a bitch.
The Survivor Series match that the East sponsored was, by all accounts, a raging success. The ten wrestlers involved put on a clinic of how this business can be at its best. Both sides were going at it with pride for their particular division, with the individual stories highlighted in the context of the whole. Everyone in the West hates Troy. Michael Manson is a drug-free fruitcake. Joey Melton owns him. Eli Flair and Troy Windham are gearing up for Numbah Five, and Felix Red and Dr. Silver are scheduled to meet up for the NFW World Heavyweight Championship, so how does Doc deal with the fact that he's gotta team with his top contender, and how does Eli deal with the fact that he's gotta team with his greatest enemy?
I thought the match was incredible. I thought everyone did their part to a T. And I thought that, especially in light of the fact that Troy has already sent in his two weeks' notice, it was more important to get the Doc/Felix confrontation to the forefront, rather than the Eli/Troy confrontation. And it worked, splendidly.
Then I read the comments that someone leaked to the dirtsheets. And by someone, I mean someone affiliated with NFW East who couldn't deal with the fact that it wasn't gonna be a five-to-one sweep in favor of their boys. You arrogant, immature, fucking children. You self - important, egomaniacal, pricks.
But the reason... the reason was the priceless thing. Let me explain to you, O Denziens of the East, why the very idea of an NFW World Championship is such a bad one.
Ultratitle.
The wrestlers are fighting for the Ultratitle, remember? Two divisions, the East and the West, wrestle for a twelve - week season and then meet in the playoffs, where the best of one division meets up with the best of the other, and they wrestle to see who the Ultratitle champion is. Then it's over, and the only remnant besides the paydays and the memories is the bragging rights, assuming the winner comes back the next season. Michael Manson should've told them what the script is. And sure, Michael Manson was around from the get-go, he won the first Ultratitle by beating the other guy that was around from the get-go, if he wants to wander about with a belt around his waist to show that he won the first Ultratitle, more power to him.
But now that it's apparently considered a title to be fought for and over... the question has to be asked - what is the East fighting for? The Ultratitle, or the NFW World Title belt? And what's worth more? And - I don't know that the numbers are official yet, but I'm pretty sure my unofficial count has Felix Red either five or ten points in front of Dr. Silver in the East standings. Who's the East target? The guy with the belt, or the guy on top of the standings?
And to wit... the word 'World' implies that Dr. Silver represents the whole of New Frontier Wrestling. When's the last time the West saw a title defense? Exactly. You can't represent a promotion if you're not willing to represent that promotion. And not only does Dr. Silver not represent the West, not only does the West not want to be represented by him... but he doesn't want it either. Therefore, Dr. Silver is not the New Frontier Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion, he's the NFW Eastern Hemisphere Champion.
That's fine, and I'm sure he's done a great job, but let's call a spade a spade. If he's going to declare himself important for reasons other than his recently-vacated stranglehold on top of the NFW East, he should be honest with himself first.
I'm serious, I'd be saying the same thing if the NFW West decided to have their own Hemisphere Champion. The Champion is supposed to be the one with the target on his back. The one that has what everyone else in the wrestling promotion aspires to. The one who fights to his last breath to keep that title. In this case, Dr. Silver is the champion because he hasn't been pinned or made to submit... in matches where the belt was on the line... even though he's no longer in first place. Semantics? Maybe. But they're important semantics. If the Ultratitle Champion doesn't happen to have the NFW Title belt when he or she wins, are they going to give a crap? I wouldn't. The West's only real comparison point to the NFW Eastern Hemisphere belt is Eddie Mayfield's UWA Championship belt... and trust me, Eli doesn't respect that one either. Eli didn't want the belt, he wanted the ten points - and I believe he offered to lay down for Mayfield immediately after the match was over, should he have won, to give him back the belt but keep the points.
Eli Flair didn't disrespect the NFW World Title - he just called it what it is. A Hemisphere belt worth ten points in the standings. And in the case of the Survivor Series match, Rook Black got shortchanged with a mere five.
But that's not what pissed me off.
Don't believe what you read, guys 'n gals... Felix Red survived that match for one reason - because he was the only one everyone with a hand in things could agree on. It's the same principle behind why Mike Randalls was always either wearing or fighting for the UNIFIED Championship back in the days of the UCC - because he was charismatic and capable, and because he was the one person everyone could agree on deserving it. I'm not putting Felix or Mikey down... they're both incredible talents. But a spade's still a spade, even at Wrestlestock. I managed to see video of every single promo released by the NFW East, and... well... despite the results and the dirtsheets, the West owned the East. More completely than Joey Melton owned Michael Manson. More completely than Beef and El Janito own Steve. Based on every measurable aspect except for pride, there's no way in hell Dr. Silver and Felix Red were both 'supposed to' survive. And there's no way in hell Doc would've volunteered to put Eli Flair over. The fact that Silver has multiple victories over Eli Flair is one of the only selling points he's got left outside of the NFW Eastern Hemisphere belt.
This business breeds fear, paranoia, and in very rare instances, an athlete with enough confidence in their own ability to accept victories and setbacks in stride. It wasn't enough for the East to claim Survivor Series victory - they had to run to the sheets to declare 'Well---well we should have won by more but we're such nice guys we did this for the poor hapless West.' You got schooled, gentlemen... the best thing you can do is accept it for what it is and prepare. Because I'm willing to put money on the Ultratitle Finals being Dr. Silver, Felix Red, Dan Ryan or Yori Yakamo Jr. against Eli Flair, Joey Melton, Seymour Almasy or Rook Black. And if the East doesn't get their shit together, then none of 'em have a chance. And when both sides are on equal footing... then... you'll see what a massacre is all about.
Am I biased? Possibly.
But I'm also right.

Your Dose for the Week of January 30``xChad``xSo I started this one almost two weeks ago at this point, right after the big weekend that saw fWo Countdown, ACW Legends and EPW Aggression 22 posted, among others. Since then, the NFW has posted their three Christmas/New Year’s shows, and LoC has posted it’s PPV-setting-up-edition of Violence, among others.
So if you’ve think I’ve had a chance to read all that – then you’re insane. Especially given the evil streptococcus bacteria that has roamed freely in my system giving me some evil strep throat/flu tandem that the doctor seemed a little stunned by. I did, however, make it through Countdown and the majority of Aggression, so I’ll include the notes that I had there pre-evilness – in case anyone cares.
With Countdown One in the books, the Fans’ Wrestling Organization becomes the Numbers Wrestling Organization has the insidious “black shirts” take over, apparently on orders from one John Smith aka Chameleon aka Green Guy with a major assist from Neo aka I used to be a dead guy. If there’s one thing that the fWo has always done well (and there’s certainly more than one), it’s the way they use the fans as another character in the story. While I think the ‘mob’ mentality has possibly been used one too many times, this one certainly had a different feel, as it was an organized movement – a direct assault against the fWo, as opposed to the others (that I remember) where the riots had more diffuse direction.
So a couple of overall thoughts, with some directed ones along the way:
You should all know that I’ve been a huge Ivy fan for a number of years (what, almost 12 since Pete joined the CSWA in 1994?). I still am – anything Ivy in the fWo is top-notch, and Travis obviously agrees. The only ‘neutral’ comment – this felt a little too much like when Ivy figured out the Miles/Horsemen of the Apocalypse stuff – just too late to do anything about it. I understand the thought behind it – use Ivy to get the backstory that fills in the gaps between the historical segments and the new action – it’d just be nice once to see Ivy figure it out and do something about it.
The danger with fed-wide angles is always that the matches can become secondary. To some extent, that’s okay, because the nature of the angle may demand it. In this case, I think the only one that was really affected was the main event. I need to read through it again – but it almost seems a little contracted, but that may have been only a feel based on the magnitude of what happened next.
One stylistic thing: in the past, the fWo ran play-by-play for their major PPV events. More recently, that seems to have started to go by the wayside. I’m a huge PBP fan, but I think the change has been a good one – the rest of the fWo shows are in a more prosaic format. I think the Flying Frenchie/Brand Frontier (which was in PBP) actually stuck out as a sore thumb in this case. Good match, but the PBP didn’t work and wasn’t necessary to tell the story. And since the commentator characters of Finn, Armstrong and Roberts aren’t used enough to be developed, they just came across as bland.
Overall, I think the show does what it needs to do – it lets you know that a new chapter of the story, maybe a whole new volume, is coming. Who plays a major role in that is up for grabs. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next and how traditional fWo fans (and the haters, of course) react.
Oh, one other thought – Don, you’re one sick puppy. Truly, truly sick. See the New Year’s Desolation segment on the show for more.
With Aggression 22 Empire Pro Wrestling continues its pattern of hugely solid shows with a lot to keep folks interested.
Because I love them, I’ll forgive their blatant stealing of the CSWA’s video montage openings… considering I’m pretty sure it wasn’t an original idea of ours. Although, who knows… I’m old… I forget things.
So a couple of general comments that I hope ‘translate’ well: EPW has a great knack for making sure the amount of segments and matches mesh well, for making sure that the “pre-card” intros help set up the storylines for the rest of the card, and they’re one of a few who have stuck primarily to “on-camera” segments that are believable. “Phenomenal” Frankie Scott’s ‘search’ for the boss is funny while not crossing over into slapstick. Even Joey Melton’s over-the-top humor is tempered by Lindsay Troy and has a purpose – to show the ever-deepening interplay between the two characters.
In addition, the matches are long enough to be interesting, short enough to be readable, and almost to a T, tell more of the story of the characters involved without having to result to complete Dusty finishes or schmozzes.
I haven’t had a chance to read all the way through ACW Legends yet, so my apologies.
Impressive, wot?
Couple of other quick notes:
LoC’s preview site for their “Self Destruction” PPV is a great way to rundown the card, and the Promo Showcase is a great catch-up as well – very similar to the “roleplay card” idea that I’m hoping will help rejump the CSWA.
I mentioned that NFW 3-card thing before, didn’t I? If not, Katz may come after me with a stake. You can find links to the latest three NFW cards at that lovely link right there, including the UWA’s “Pirate TV” return featuring Eli Flair vs. Eddie Mayfield, Crashmas V, and Midnight Madness Week 6.

Your Dose for the Week of January 9``xChad``xThere are big doses, and there are small ones. This is a small one. Side effects may include increased interest in fantasy wrestling, heart palpitations at the thought of a new CSWA card, and nausea at the sight of Jon Katz.
Christmas and New Year’s is always an interesting time for fantasy wrestling (yes, FW blast it, not “e-wrestling”…gayest name ever!...sorry, I digress). Some leagues go for the major show, presumably trying to capitalize on members having some time off; while others go on break entirely, letting everyone have a well needed rest. Of course, if you’re in the CSWA, you get a nice four-month long nap.
So I’ll give you a very, very brief rundown of some of the holiday happenings in the circuit, but first, I thought I’d mention some individual “real” news that’s going on.
When Real Life Attacks
Congrats to John Rivera (John Doe on FWrestling) who is about to compete in his first pro wrestling match now that he’s all trained up. John enters his indy fed’s version of the Royal Rumble at #2, so it’ll either be a really long night for him, or a really short one. Keep an eye on FW Central as John continues to update his training, and hopefully will post some pictures of the Rumble.
Our resident author (well, not really resident since he ignores us like the pompous ass that he is! (j/k, of course)) Chris Gethard (formerly Cardigo of CSWA) is finally in print with Weird New York, making him the true triple-threat – author, actor, and fantasy wrestler. I’ve posted a picture of the book cover below, along with Chris’s author bio in the book, which I think is great, even if it doesn’t mention his time in the CSWA.
I bought my copy of the book at a bricks-and-mortar B&N, and even though I’m not an NY resident, it’s an incredibly well done book that pulls together some great ghost stories/weird occurrences and put great pictures with them.
Author Info:Chris Gethard served as the associate editor of Weird NJ magazine for over four years. While there he helped write and edit the book, Weird NJ, and co-authored its follow-up, Weird U.S. Chris is also an actor and comedian, has contributed writing to shows on Comedy Central, and has acted on a number of TV programs, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He is a performer and teacher at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Manhattan.
Chris grew up in West Orange, New Jersey, a few short blocks from the laboratory where Thomas Edison once put on public electrocutions of a variety of animals. Now he lives in Astoria, Queens, just a stone's throw from the Hell Gate section of the East River where over one thousand people perished in the General Slocum steamboat fire of 1904.
And as if Chris’s book release wasn’t big enough news for the Gethard family, older brother Gregg (and more importantly, handler of UNIFIED World Champion Troy Windham) decided to try and trump Chris’s news by proposing to his fiancé. And shock of shocks, she accepted. I wouldn’t normally triumph such personal news here, but considering Gregg has used it as fodder for his tremendously funny blog, I figure it’s fair game.
So congrats to all of them, even John, who isn’t a Gethard.
Overdose
The Fantasy World Wrestling Federation (FWWF) ceased full-time operations in August 2004 after a lengthy run that began in April of 1996. At a press conference in Midtown Manhattan on New Year's morning, President Jason Solomon announced a one-time only event titled "Resurrection" to be held on 4/15/06 from the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. -- ten years to the day of the FWWF's inception. The event will feature a 10-man "War Games" match in which the superstars (to be announced over a 2-3 month period) will be divided into two teams of five. More information is available at the official event blog at http://fwwfnet.blogspot.com.
A few big shows that went down over the holidays:
LoC Violence 15 saw Savoy get tar-and-feathered despite a match with Ray Chavez; Turk vs. Ryan Billows, and even bigger than a cameo by Jon Katz Jr., the LEGION of DAIRY!
ACW Courage 86 featured the lead-up to the ACW LEGENDS pay-per-view that promises to see some major talent leave and some new huge talent added due to some “Loser Leaves ACW” stipulations. The “Spirit of ACW” angle promises to come to a head as well.
fWo Countdown 2 saw Poison Ivy instituted as the new fWo Commissioner. And if you know Ivy, you know that when she gets authority, somebody’s gettin’ fired.
In addition to ACW LEGENDS, also coming up in the next couple of weeks: WFW holds its “Superbowl of Wrestling” NFW’s Week 6 features not only shows from the East and West Divisions, but also a UWA-themed “Fight Before Christmas” between Eddie Mayfield and Eli Flair. The TEAM Invitational Tournament Division Finals bring us down to the Final Four. Las Vegas Wrestling makes it to its third week on KCLV Ch. 2!
Need Help…
I need your ideas for “The Hype” (topics for me to rant on) and “Under Review” (where I review a fed’s card). Under Review seems to be pretty popular, at least for the fed’s I’ve reviewed. I hear that LoC and A1E have had some pretty interesting conversations, and I think in both cases, any “negative” parts of the review were taken as they were meant – as constructive criticism with some sarcasm and laughs on top.
I’ve also put out an offer to have some of you do some “offweek” Doses of your own. I got several possible takers, so I’ll be contacting you all soon. We’ll either make them “Weekly Doses”, or we’ll revive the “Weekly Wire” so that all of FW-dom (how’s that for a created word) and FW-kind (even better!!!) can see the ranting of lunatics like Jon Katz, Tom Holzerman, Paul Miller, Tom Ford and our dearest favorite Lindz (whose last name I’m scare to try and spell).
So click that little “Comments” button on the main page and give me some ideas if you have even an inkling of appreciation for this marvel of the written word.

Black Thursday``xChad``xEDMONTON, AB
Fledging indie promotion New Alberta Pro Wrestling hosted its first Supercard this past Thursday. By all accounts, Black Thursday was a huge success for the company, scoring high ratings on local television and selling out the University of Alberta's venerable Butterdome.
RESULTS:
-The New & Improved D-X retained the tag titles against The Decapitators after a chairshot while the referee's attention was distracted.
-In a bloodbath, Misery pinned J.C. Cook after not one but TWO 'Misery Loves Company' piledrivers. Cook was stretchered out of the arena post-match.
-Provincial Champion Static was the first man eliminated in the Provincial Title Three-way Dance, passing out to Lobo's Dragon Sleeper. In the end, Ravager was able to reverse the Lobo Driver and score a pinfall to regain the title.
-A wild Action! Battle Royale saw The Immortal eliminate a half-dozen guys, newcomers Storm, Rex Caliber & The Minstrel make names for themselves. Rex Caliber scored the win, eliminating The Minstrel in the final seconds.
-And in the Career vs Title main event, it was the end of a career as The Plague came up short in his quest to regain the NAPW Title from D!. Plague took the first fall with The Black Death, but D! came back and evened the score with a MURDERDEATHKILL sunset flip powerbomb off the top. The third fall was decided with a brutal Buzz Kick to the back of Plague's head. Post-match, the two men shook hands and Plague left with dignity, and D! celebrated the retention of his title with the fans.
Black Thursday is online now via the link below.
================================
INJURY REPORT
-J.C. Cook suffered a severe concussion as well as heavy blood loss in his match with Misery. It is uncertain as to when Cook will make his return to NAPW rings.
-Technique suffered a neck injury after being eliminated by The Minstrel. He is expected to return to action shortly, however.
================================
NAPW is hiring. With Black Thursday in the books, it's a fantastic time to join up. An active roleplay board, creative and unique wrestlers to compete against, and a strong sense of community are the highlights of the traditional, roleplay-based fed.

Changes Indeed``xChad``xMANHATTAN, NY – Changes is in the books and this iPPV more then lived up to its name. A metamorphosis has occurred changing the caterpillar into the butterfly if you will, this iPPV has broken the WeWA out of it’s cocoon and sent it flying into the stratosphere. The Greatness TV tournament kicked off the show with two first round matches as Todd Knight lost to Orge Lambart and Billy Ray, drunk and dangerous as always toppled Sam Goddamn Natas in two matches that were the epitome of hardcore, the epitome of old school BACW style brawling.
The TV title then remained the focus as Mike Johnson, Ulfric, Matt McClain and Joel Saunders battled it out in a 4 way elimination match. This match was as important for the extreme action as it was for the forming of the Angels of Misery, two wayward souls hell bent on destroying Darrel Besolve, united as one with a common purpose. Matt McClain came out of this match victorious and with the opportunity to meet Todd Knight, one of Darrel Besolve’s oldest friends for the TV title.
That’s right folks I said Todd Knight and you’re all thinking, but he was eliminated from the tournament by Orge Lambart, how he won the TV title, well folks the iPPV is called Changes and a big change was made as Todd Knight was substituted for a beaten down Billy Ray. Who beat down Billy Ray? Well the psychotic Sam Natas of course, and that’s why they’re in a barbed wire cage in a few weeks. Well being the SOB that I am I already spoiled the outcome of the Lambart/Knight rematch, Knight won and is the new TV champion and he will meet McClain at Superstars in a few weeks. A new champion crowned, a new alliance formed and we’re only halfway through the show. But I skipped over what was one of the most shocking and in this writer’s opinion the biggest occurrence at the iPPV, the creation of a New Dynasty of Wrestling. And that IS their name and they intend to prove that they are the new most dominant force in professional wrestling today.
For weeks Morrison and Parks have went back and forth verbally sparring, physically beating each other, and for months they have traded the TV title back and forth so it should come as no surprise that they are now teaming. This is pro wrestling of course and you never know what will happen. Both men tired of being relegated to swapping the TV title between each other got fed up and with a common hatred for the establishment and the established stars have decided to embark on a crusade to make themselves known, to make an impact and to rise to the top where they belong. It started with the burial or perennial thorn in the side, Chris Ross and it continued with the dismantling of Lee Riel after his title win in the main event. Both men delivered their finishers to the newly crowned champion while he was distracted by WeWA newcomer, The Spectre and proceeded to tape his hands together and obliterate him with blows, taking out Homeless Bob in the process and then setting their sights on the recently out of coma and returning Madison who had just moments before walked out of the back and into the ring to congratulate her man. Rubbing their hands together with sickening grins on their face nothing was going to stop them except for the familiar chords of Ironman by Black Sabbath and the arrival of “The Future” Darrel Besolve, fresh off a victory over Mr. Batee that sent him packing and a match that sent both men to the depths of hell, almost literally as they crashed through the ring canvas. Besolve stormed the ring wrapping his leather belt around his fist and chasing the New Dynasty off. He pulled the beaten down Riel to his feet as Black Sabbath played us to a close. The WeWA underwent the most drastic of changes in one night as just when we thought we had everything figured out, just when we thought we knew where everyone stood that all changed. Mr. Batee, no longer in charge, Darrell Besolve at the side of his friend’s greatest enemy, Bitter Rivals aligned with a common purpose and the fans cheering their most hated of villains and booing a man whose initials they chanted with glee mere minutes before. A New Dynasty, a New Beginning a New Era. WeWA brace yourselves because the aftershocks of this event will shake the foundation to its very core.
We guess all is now fair in love and war. ``xEEFVEEVEZyZPPtfgcu``x1135118776``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xD Farmer``xhttp://www.ewrestling.org``xMANHATTAN, NY – Changes is in the books and this iPPV more then lived up to its name.

Fires 18, Looking For New Talent``xChad``xRWC announces firing of 18 wrestlers; Seeking serious workers to replace them.
After being open for three months and having several shows bomb due to many roster members not appearing at events RWC owner William Trevouledes announced tonight that he is releasing eighteen members of the roster. He then immediately announced that he will be holding interviews over the RWC Holiday Vacation to find suitable replacements.
"We just have to reevaluate our position in the wrestling world. Our company is not as stable as when we entered the scene," says William. He also went on to state that a qualified candidate will need to be serious about their jobs and will need to be able to keep a clear mind when approached with difficult obstacles.
RWC is looking for members who strive to make a name for themselves and want a chance to show off what they are capable of. Below is a list of all of the released talent.
Chris Cadence Casanova Logan Blyze Hurley Hurricane Black Ice Jeremy Sterling White Dragon Devon Reaper Big Heat El Mexico Mesterio The Anarchist Justin Marsten Matt Treyan Billy Gnosis Big Heat Ray Green Prymetyme Nightkiller

Your Dose for the Week of December 18``xChad``xIt's more Dosage-goodness for you. As you can see there to the right, I'm looking for other folks who might be interested in posting their prescription to help fill in for my weeks off.
In this edition: it's another "Under Review" that pulls no punches, this one focused on a league you may not have checked out, A1E; plus that overdue list of World Champions that you've never seen compiled in one place before. And a few other tidbits as well.
Remember -- I've opened up the ability for any league to post their event updates (card reports) and Top 10 lists on the main FWrestling.com. To sign up and get immediate access, go here. And I always need more news for the "Overdose" section -- you can send that by e-mailing news@fwrestling.com. I'm also looking for upcoming major events to highlight in "The Hype" section.
Under Review: A1E
So given my last attempt at a review, let’s see how this one goes. I will warn that it’ll be less detailed – since the volume of detail given to LoC Violence 11 led to me not finishing reviewing the whole show! So this time, I’m throwing down with the latest edition of A1E’s Thursday Night Warfare.
For those who may have been under a rock, or who are content to play in their own sandbox, A1E operates off the message boards at A1Wrestling.com and on their own website at http://www.a1e.ca. The league is roleplay-based and decisions on winners are actually made based on votes by the “Booking Committee” and the members-and-fans-at-large. In the latest update, the vote from the BC and the “at-large” vote count the same toward the overall result.
I’ve been a fan of the A1E folks since the inception on A1Wrestling. If memory serves, they are actually a branch off the MBE tree, a league called “Message Board Entertainment” that started on the 1Wrestlingtalk forums when I was a webmaster there oh so long ago. The original gimmicks were similar to the ancient “be your own wrestler” leagues – the message board denizens themselves became wrestling characters. So when you see names like “BobbyR,” you’ll know why. MBE shut down in late 2003, although the “MBE Cup” was run earlier this year. That information is important for the rest of the review, of course.
As usual, keep in mind that I’m neither completely up to date on the fed’s current angles or characters (although I certainly know of many of them from over time), so I’m coming in pretty fresh.
TNW opens with a 10-bell salute to Eddie Guerrero, led by commish Nathan Houston devoting the show to his memory. Nicely done, although after reading it, I’m wondering if it shouldn’t have been devoted to the memories of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
The big screen brings the fans into a warehouse where we find out that a “shadow syndicate” is organizing for the night. The “MBE army” is mobilizing – and despite being held down by the evil “A1E production crew” (huh?), they’re ready to strike… and mangle Psalm 23 at the same time.
Mr. Amazing defeats Damon Blackburn before the A1Etron heads back to the warehouse. We begin to see some faces, but not that of the “ORGANIZER.” For a newb like me, the segment is a bit confusing, but it looks like the MBErs are ready to go after Anarchy Inc. and to set up the main event for the evening.
You wouldn’t necessarily think it from the names, but I’m possibly giving my vote for match of the night to Slambo the Clown vs. Eddie Weston. The setup explained, even to a rookie like me, that Eddie Weston was worked over with barbed wire at the latest PPV, and that dear ol’ Slambo is a member, albeit a joke one, of the HPSC (the Highland Park Social Club). We also find out that Sal Scantlin is apparently paid by the number of times he says “fairy” in his color commentary.
This match shows one of the ways A1E shines – while a mix of play-by-play and “event” writing (paragraphs giving the action), matches certainly tend toward the “old school” – where the action in the ring is paramount and momentum is the key. While there could be more commentary, it’s clearly used to get the characters across and to give some insight into where they’ve been and where they’re going. Slambo wins this one in an upset.
It’s the first attack of the night as the new A1E Champion, Richard Farnswirth, is attacked by the MBE Syndicate’s Professor Tremendous as he steps out of a limo.
And then back to the ring for the A1E Triple Star Championship match. HSBC member Duchess takes on champ James Irish – in a ”Tennis Shoe Search Match…
Wha?!?!
We eventually find out what the match is, and more importantly, why it’s happening. Apparently Irish gets to choose his own stipulations, and obviously does so in a way that tips the match in his favor. But don’t you just feel the backfire coming?
The match is set up so that four shoe boxes are attached to the turnbuckles – three with weapons and one with a pair of tennis shoes. If you get the shoes, you have to hold them and pin your opponent at the same time to win. I’m giving this one the benefit of the doubt and assuming that I missed something in the roleplay for the match. Surely… right?
One comment on the matchwriting itself – this was one of the more blatant places on the card where the mix of narrative and play-by-play just didn’t work, IMHO. Lots of narrative, and then two lines of PBP, wash, rinse and repeat. The PBP didn’t add anything until the end, other than allowing Scantlin to yell “FAIRY” a few more times.
We get the requisite backfire on Irish where he ends up with the shoes, while Duchess has weapons. Thankfully Slambo gets involved and messes everything up, doing the spot we all know and love where he holds Irish in place to be walloped by Duchess, only to get smacked himself. Irish hits his finisher, grabs the tennis shoes, and makes the cover to keep the title.
In contrast to some of the other MBE “invasion” stuff, we get a true segment following the match between Irish and Kanna Kirishima, who is on the MBE wagon. Kanna sets up a pitch to bring her old friend over to the dark side, but Jimmy Shamrock (James Irish, of course) lists the historic reasons that he’s got no desire to jump on the MBE gravy train. Kanna fires back, accusing Irish of being “A1E’s court jester,” before heading out. Good segment, great character development. Much more effective than an attack. Might have been even more effective as a warning shot “fired” before the attacks.
But then, just to show that Kanna Kirishima can not only talk a good game but is faster than a speeding bullet, the next segment has her nailing Beast with a chair in another “Syndicate” strike.
But it’s a double strike as MBE’s Star Rider and Bobby R then take down Chip Friendly and Duchess of the HPSC. I could only wonder where Slambo was, personally. (Note that a Chip Friendly vs. Jack Gilkison match is scheduled after this attack, but it wasn’t posted as of the time I read it – I imagine that Gilkison wins by countout or over a beaten-up Friendly.)
And just because three’s a crowd, we get the man with one of the best names ever, Maggot, attacking one with the worst, Big Dog, who is left laying in the locker room, although his hands are still marvelously taped for action.
JA hits the ring for an interview spot, which Sal assures us is so that the fairy can announce his retirement. Sadly for the color commentator, JA says he’s not done, and warms my heart by referencing the CSWA Greensboro Championship, although not by name, which is respectful at the same time. His response to Gilkison is a bit meaningless, but I gather it’s a segue so that he can move on to his real announcement – which ends up being his participation in A1E’s “Pier Six Brawl” (cool name, btw) at the New Year’s show. Presumably he wants into the Brawl because the winner gets a title shot – and then we’re given one more “FAIRY” yell by Sal, just for good measure of course.
Housefly vs. Dan Ryan gives us a dream match of the night. Fly was the A1E champ just before Farnswirth, and if you don’t know of Ryan’s exploits, then I can’t help you. Very good technical match and very well written. The PBP is used more effectively here, though still true to the league’s PBP/narrative mix. We get some nice false finishes followed by a finisher reversal that leads to Ryan getting the win.
And then, we get an MBE run-in as Hida Yakamo drop Fly with a cricket bat of all things. And wonder of wonders, Dan Ryan doesn’t help him out. And because karma is a you-know-what, Ryan gets dropped with a steel chair as he steps backstage. Count victims six and seven if my fingers are correct.
It’s tag action for the rest of the night, starting with the A1E Champ teaming up with Gilkison again Beast and Big Dog. Sal reminds us that Farnswirth and Gilkison are the top two men in the company, but fails to remind us that Beast, Big Dog and Farnswirth have all been laid out by the Syndicate at various points tonight. We do, however, get some backstory to let us know that Beast and Big Dog don’t necessarily trust each other. As we get more “fairy” shoutouts by Sal, Dog takes the bulk of the beating early until a hot tag. Beast jumps in hot and nails Farnswirth with a GORE…or not, as the champ takes his head off with a boot.
Beast redeems himself with a Guerrero-homage frog splash before a double hot tag leads to a Big Dog “Dog Pound” finisher moment, broken up by the Champ. Gilkison gets his moment to nail his finisher, only to have the ref pulled out of the ring by Beast. Things break loose outside as our beloved Slambo the Clown makes an appearance, only to be countered by Dan Ryan. It’s Katie-bar-the-door in the ring (actually our sweet commentator Kayla goes with “donnybrook”) while the ref gives up and throws the whole thing out.
And so we get to the Main Event… can you guess what’s coming? Red and black for life baby!
The tag titles are on the line in a TLC match, as Anarchy Inc. (Torment and Haven) defend against the Midwest Mafia (Irish Red and Tha Eliminat0r). Now I know what you’re thinking… no, it’s not Eli Flair in a 1994 throwback jersey… and it’s not that “other” Eliminator who was a jobber… it’s the Eliminat0r, who shall henceforth be referred to as T0r, just so I don’t have to type as much.
We get some good setup advising us that this is a longstanding feud of violence and blood, and that both teams are claiming this is the blowoff to the feud. First good intros of the night lead to a cute spot where the Mafia charges Anarchy as they enter, only to be held back by security. There’s even a point – the ref won’t let the match start until he has control and gets the titles to hang them above the ring. Well done and logical. Who would’ve thunk it in today’s wrestling, right?
The Mulkeys… excuse me, I forgot it’s not 1986, the Mafia and Anarchy Inc. finally get hold of each other. All you really need to know about the match is that it’s a hardcore spotfest, as a TLC match should be. The commentators even let us know that the bloodlust is so high that the teams are bent on destroying the other rather than going for the titles.
But that “logical” thing? That goes out the window at the end, as we get some spots that are reminiscent of the time that New Jack almost killed that fat rookie wrestler kid. Irish Red pulls out a switchblade and I quote, “drags the blade of the knife across Torment’s forehead.” Well good for him, other than the fact that I’m just assuming those security guards that separated them to begin with must be developmental wrestlers from the local promotion and not real security, right? Cause why else would they let the man not only “slash” Torment, but then “position the knife near Torment’s right eye.”
Thankfully the commentary lets us know that the crowd is horrified. Haven makes the save and we eventually get our first climb-the-ladder-for-the-belts spot, which Torment breaks up, ignoring the fact that he’s bleeding like a stuck pig and may be dying in front of our eyes. He does manage, however, to be the next one up the ladder for the belts, at least until Irish Red stops him, and in doing so, drops a convenient bag of thumbtacks across the ring.
And so we know what spot must come next, as Red hits a move dropping the now stabbed and stuck Torment onto the tacks along with himself. And the crowd, once horrified, is now “going nuts.” We get another top-of-the-ladder spot from Haven and Red, which leaves everyone laying. Torment eventually grabs the titles from the top, presumably his last act as he dies from blood loss, well, other than standing in the middle of the thumbtack strewn ring celebrating.
And then… duhn duhn duhn….
Our MBE friend Whitenoise is back…and if it’s not enough that Torment may be dead from having his forehead skinned (or at the very least have that nasty Dusty Rhodes forehead for the rest of his life), Whitenoise does his best Eddie Gilbert (or in fantasy, Craig Miles) impression by shooting a fireball out of his mouth courtesy of some grain alcohol and a lighter. Thankfully, however, the ringcrew is ready for all emergencies and “douses him with water” that is apparently on hand. Perhaps a fan’s soda was used, but the commentary says water.
Torment gets tossed out of the ring to fall asleep and die, while Irish Red and Tha Eliminator are left docile. Then the MBE Syndicate is on its way to the ring. They surround Red and Eliminator… only to shake hands and high five the two of them. What could this possibly mean? Well, other than the fact that they’re in on it, right?
Irish Red lets us know that he’s the recruiter that has put the Syndicate together. He was tired of all the backstage whining and decided to bring in “the originators.” He says MBE is the foundation and in GUNS-fashion, they’re not accepting any more excuses.
Not done yet…but just a sidenote – wouldn’t this have made more sense if Red hadn’t just lost a grueling match that left him with thumbtacks in his rear end?
And because this must all apparently be done in one show… we get a response!! Kayafaber (who presumably has been AWOL for a long time) appears in A1E colors, clearly ready to take on all 8 members of the Syndicate by him… oh wait, he’s with them too. We even get the T-shirt-under-the-T-shirt, although no spraypaint.
But the Syndicate is kind… they take a moment to begin throwing MBE merchandise to the crowd. Then our dear play-by-play commentator Kayla gets in the ring, takes a cheap whore comment, slaps Kayafaber, then asks him how he could possibly, POSSIBLY be such a turncoat.
Kaya walks us through his recruitment, how he hates this business and the sport itself, but he loves the people in the ring with him. He guarantees us that this is a shoot, which I’m assuming means that the A1E production staff is just too stupid to stop broadcasting.
He dares Houston and the A1E to prove him wrong… and we find out that Torment is not only apparently not dead, but has recovered enough from losing two liters of blood to jump in the ring along with Haven and attack the entire Syndicate. We get some run-ins from the back as A1E apparently realizes that after seven attacks, they might want to fight back. And so we leave the site of the enormous brawl as security finally realizes that they need to do something… cause I can only imagine what Red’s gonna do with that knife now.
The Wrapup: Needs more Slambo! I’d much rather have seen more about how Slambo responds to being the “joke member” of the HPSC and less of “How to Fillet a Wrestler.” Nothing wrong with the MBE “invasion” in principle (see the “GXW invasion” of years ago in the CSWA), but it was just too much at once. And the fact that no one seems to figure out that after three…four…five…six attacks that they shouldn’t be on guard. Because so much of it was built on the “invasion,” I’m not sure what else to focus on – Duchess/Irish didn’t quite work as a comedic match. Slambo/Eddie was well done, as was Housefly/Ryan. The other tag match needed more buildup around the Beast/Big Dog trust angle. I would’ve paid to see more moments like Kanna/Irish, rather than the nWo-like swerve—swerve—we gotcha—now-look-at-us stuff at the end. Again, made little sense to have the “reveal” after Red/Eliminator had just lost a huge match. I understand that it might not be “good business” internally to have them win the titles as part of the swerve, but it certainly didn’t make for a good spot for them to announce that no one in A1E is ‘worthy’ after they just lost a bloodbath.
It’ll be interesting to see what comes next. I’ve seen some folks say that the “MBE Syndicate” was a one-night thing to get the characters re-introduced. If so, it was a shoddy way to do it. If, on the other hand, it’s really an MBE vs. A1E angle, then it’ll be a doozy to see how they get out of it and ‘back to normal’. That would require that some characters, especially on the MBE side, are ‘expendable’ and not planning to continue.
Overdose
News and notes time. I haven't had time to scour the earth (and I'm still waiting for many of you to learn to use that news@fwrestling.com mailbox), so here's what we've got...
RWC announces firing of 18 wrestlers; Seeking serious workers to replace them.
eWrestling.org/WeWA's latest iPPV "Changes" is in the books, featuring an ownership change and the "Greatness" TV Tournament. The full story is available in "Take Two" on the main page.
NAPW Black Thursday marked the Alberta-based company's first "supercard," featuring a "Career vs. Title" match in the main event. Full report on the main page under "Take Two."
CSWA is looking for one to two more wrestlers to fit in its PROTEGE event, which kicks off as part of its restart over the next couple of weeks. PROTEGE is an "Apprentice"-like competition that allows young wrestlers to compete to become the protege of UNIFIED world Champion Troy Windham. More information is available at this link. The final selections will be made very soon, so please e-mail Chad or fill out the join form soon.
When Champs Collide
While by no means a comprehensive list, I’ve compiled a list of some of the “top” champions (meaning the highest ranking champ in the league) from around the various “circuits” (circles/communities/whatever you like to call them). The first group includes those found on FWrestling, which tend to be more loosely connected than the next set, which are from PTC. The final set is a list of ‘unaffiliated’ feds, many of which have made names of their own.
So with the “What?” taken care of, you might ask “Why?” I don’t know. I thought it would be an interesting lesson in how many “active” feds would respond. There are obviously other communities out there that I haven’t collected from.
So what’s next? I’d hope you’d peruse some of the links below, but I’m not a dolt, I know that most of you have only read this far because you were tricked somehow. Seriously, what would you like to see next? A more comprehensive list? A “fantasy” tournament of champs below where you vote on who would win the ‘dream match?’
Click that little “comments” button on the main page, or e-mail me at news@fwrestling.com to give me your thoughts or changes/corrections/additions to this list. I’ll ponder until next time and then have more for you.
That's all for now. Please feel free to give suggestions and feedback by clicking the "Comments" link on the main page. You do not have to have a username to be able to post comments.
I hope everyone has a great Christmas and Hanukkah over the next week or so. Stay tuned for more editions of the Dose -- especially if you give me ideas of what to write on.
Take care, be safe and have fun.

And if it weren't for Eddie Mayfield, orange juice MIGHT be Craig Miles' natural enemy.
New Frontier Wrestling -- the only federation on the internet to decide, "**** it! We need to settle this who's better than who regardless of age, color, RP style and shoe size..." brings a card of a e-wrestling fan's wet dream.
Its a good thing too...we're almost halfway through Season 2...and you might not even be paying attention.

Are You The PROTEGE?``xChad``xFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: http://cswawrestling.com
Greensboro, NC December 2, 2005
Are you ready to become wrestling’s next great superstar?
It’s the question that one CSWA main eventer asked himself over a decade ago. And the answer? Troy Windham is at the pinnacle, as the Unified World Heavyweight Champion.
Beginning on the CSWA’s PRIMETIME Cruise through the Caribbean, Troy Windham will select one young wrestler from among six to become his PROTÉGÉ, and the CSWA’s next big thing.
Battling in the ring and outside, Protégé wannabes will be asked to demonstrate the same characteristics that have made Troy Windham a star, from his days as “The Slacker” to the “King of All Media” to his current moniker, “The Epitome.” It will take the right person to make it through the obstacles the Unified Champion will set, someone with the drive and desire to be molded into a true champion.
The CSWA is now taking applications for contestants. Applicants should be between 18 and 25, have a brief resume in wrestling and/or acting, and should be ready to demonstrate how confident and brash they can be, even in the face of hardship and humiliation. Accepted contestants will receive a short CSWA developmental deal for the length of the Protégé contest. The winner of Protégé will be signed to a six-figure CSWA contract and will receive a match for a CSWA title following the contest.
And thus, a gimmick is born. Just to bring you up to speed, when we left the CSWA at the end of its last “season,” it had belatedly celebrated its ANNIVERSARY by crowning a new Unified Champion, none other than Troy Windham, who barely defeated Dan Ryan in the final match. Hornet beat Eli Flair in his (Eli’s) CSWA send-off, only to be viciously attacked by a masked man revealed as Ruben Ross. Stephen Thomas had cemented his ownership of a financially-struggling CSWA, only to find out that there’s a mysterious hacker bent on humiliating him in anyway possible.
So with the next major event set as FISH FUND, the CSWA returns to the high seas on its semi-annual cruise. Thomas is thrilled with the response from CSWA17 and brings the Parsons Cruise Liner II out of mothballs, packing his wrestlers, crew and a bunch of fans on a ship.
Ever heard the saying “He who forgets history is doomed to repeat it?” Well, Thomas isn’t known for his long-term memory, except when it comes to his hatred for his co-founder Chad Merritt. The original “Cruise” ended with the ship going down, literally. While others since have been more tranquil, this one proves to be a throwback. Thomas may be in the Presidential Suite, but the Hacker is the one at the wheel.
So in fine Real World-question fashion, what exactly does happen when you take dozens of wrestlers and ringcrew, and hundreds of fans, and hold them hostage on a gigantic floating sideshow?
What happens when:
--Thomas gets locked in the Presidential Suite with his “wife” Hortense, who he only married to get just enough shares to retake control of the company? --Hornet, Poison Ivy and Teri Melton are locked in a room together with no way out? --The wrestlers know they’re held hostage, but still have to perform? --The fans begin to understand that a normal cruise doesn’t keep them stuck aboard ship? --Cameron Cruise searches for his manager and friend, twelve-year-old “Make A Wish” cancer patient Billy Cundiff. --JA forms a “Scooby Gang” of fans to find and take down the Hacker. --The Hacker’s plans begin to emerge, with the help of his friends.
I make no promises about the vat of acid thing, but hey, who knows?
CSWA: CRUISE of DECEPTION
Under Review: LoC
So, as you’ll see below, I made it just over halfway through Legacy of Champions’ eleventh edition of Violence before breaking off. I thought I’d try going through a card segment by segment much like I would as if I were editing a CSWA card together. During that process, I’m usually looking for what doesn’t make sense or what doesn’t fit together, so you’ll probably see, on the whole, what looks like more negative comments than positive. I’ll recap at the bottom and give some overall thoughts.
I’m not totally convinced that kicking off your show with a homosexual handjob joke is the way to go, but hey, I got the point – Brandon Thomas is ticked off at losing the Legacy Title to Ninja K, and he’s gonna make sure everybody knows it. In Bischoffesque style, even. Yawn.
Before we get to in-ring action, it’s time to see somebody arrive at the arena sans partner, and then an interesting segment where Mystique Darkheart (isn’t that the chick from X-Men?) introduces some sad pathetic submissive creature she has on a chain to the Williams family. How very kinky of her. Nice segment with just one technical annoyance – a “ravenous” woman would be one that’s hungry. Perhaps the author was going for “rapturous” or simply “hot.”
Cordova vs. Phoenix Riktor started with the requisite tributes to Eddie Guerrero which are appreciated, and turned into a great lucha-style match. At least until the end. The cutesie “we’re buddies” aftermath would’ve been fine, had the finish itself not been taken directly out of Guerrero’s playbook and used at least twice by the WWE since his death. It’s one thing for Chavo Guerrero to do it against JBL, or for Rey to pull the “Eddie tribute” against Big Show, but somehow here it just fell a little flat. I completely understand what they were going for, and appreciate it. A tribute is great – direct paint-by-numbers copy, not so much for me, although maybe completely different for others.
Riktor offers to let Ninja K even up the handicap match that Bisch… Thomas set up for him, followed by the continuation of the shortest segments in history as we find out that Corey Thompson is still sans partner and confused.
More segment goodness as we get the set up for Now’s tag title shot later in the show. We find out that the wrestlers are smarter than their “agent” as they ruin the ‘surprise’ he has in store for them – the title shot. Followed by the conclusion of Corey Thompson’s continuing “where’s my brother and tag partner?” saga which ends with the tag champs throwing out enough profanity that on TV their comment would have looked like: “This….is probably scared…to go up against…the.” Throw in a racial slur and you’ve quickly got the CHEAP HEAT~! Yay. Thompson uses all his pent-up rage to then destroy a jobber tag team.
We get plenty of insight into Ryan Billows, the former A&F-model cum boy-next-door-with-more-muscles, as he finishes a photo shoot to talk to Riktor, who recruits him to stand with Ninja K for the main event.
Derecho gives us a history lesson explaining why his dead wife is actually alive and at his side. If I’ve learned anything in this game, it’s to keep dead wives dead, right Pete? Derecho quickly changes the subject to tell us about his Underground Title match with Sylo, who he completely ignores to talk about Tyke. Then he tells Tyke and all of us ‘retards’ listening about why he is, indeed, the greatest wrestler in the history of the business. And apparently he doesn’t like Brits. If only it had been Canadians he despised, this would’ve been a good heel promo. Oh, and if the wife had stayed dead, of course.
Good segment with Tyke’s backstage response to Derecho, which focuses more on why Tyke may have lost his edge, and with it, his fan support. Plus, anybody who uses Brit lingo like “mucker” just has to be cool, right?
And then it’s Savoy time. You truly do have to love any guy who can turn muff-diving into a gimmick and an entertaining, yet not too raunchy segment. Who am I kidding? Raunchy and funny.
The Equalizer shines up his new Relentless title and lets the Williams know that he’s always thinking ahead, followed by a quick trip inside the mind of Turk, who pulls off the best segment of the night to the point.
The ubiquitous Laurie Williams shows up yet again, this time with Lance Hawkins, who quickly intimates that our dear Laurie may have a hygiene issue. With that out of the way, Laurie calls Hawkins injury on the carpet, booking him in an arm wrestling match. Where’s Hacksaw when you need him!?
Hopper and Metz defeat Ehren the King and Creig in a match that continues to show how strong LoC’s tag division is. Straightforward match with some well-written miscommunication at the end by the winning tag team that could be the beginning for something down the line. Well, after they get back from DisneyWorld I guess.
See, now I’m confused. Is Billows the all-American boy, or just a hick? Or both? Because when a segment starts out with “’Dagnabbit,’ Billows hollered,” I begin to think that this whole Murdoch resurgence has gone too far. Despite the hick beginning, the segment stays strong, as we not only follow Billows triumphs and travails with his new cell phone, but get a quick one-sided conversation between Billows and Ninja K.
The Legion of Dairy, everyone’s favorite lactose-based tag team, has a tet-a-tet with the tag champs, marking the second team of the night that Malik and Duzza have ticked off. And then it’s time for an “Over the Top” moment via Lance Hawkins, his son, and his arm wrestling match. Great parody.
Halfway through, and my fingers are getting tired. Derecho and Ninja K have a run in with a good segment cementing Derecho as an over-the-top (not in an armwrestling way!) know-it-all-yet-clueless heel. Frost vs. Fanatic is used as a vehicle to expand Turk’s return against Fanatic. Well-written in showing Turk’s distress, his change, and his hatred.
So, keeping in mind that I haven’t had a chance to read many cards recently, and so I’m not up on all the ongoing angles, you just saw my initial take segment by segment. Now some overall thoughts…
The match-to-segment ratio seemed off at first, but as I look at the credits, it’s about 3 or 4-to-1 which isn’t bad. One reason I think the Turk segment and interference came off so well is that is didn’t try to be “cute,” like so many of the other segments, which seem to try and be smarky at themselves. Derecho and Ryan Billows seem to be almost exact opposites, which would make for an interesting angle – the clueless know-it-all and the babyface who knows more than he shows.
Speaking of Billows, I cheated and skimmed ahead – the phone’s in the peanut butter? I think Ryan’s been smoking peanut butter again while writing Savoy segments.
Anyway, this was entirely more work than I hoped for. Over time, I’ll check back in on LoC angles. I’m open for suggestions, critiques on my critiques, or other shows that I need to check in on. Just e-mail me at news@fwrestling.com.
How’s that for getting out of finishing something? Huh? Impressive, I know.
Overdose
The new name for all that “circuit news” that you guys are supposed to be blowing my e-mail box up with. I (sniff) guess you just didn’t believe I’d be back, did you?
How’s this for timely, though? New Alberta Pro Wrestling is set to release its Black Thursday supercard today. And I must say, I miss the days when “supercard” was more used than PPV. The full news item is in that lovely “Take Two” section on the main page (just below where you clicked on this lovely item).
Some additional info on NAPW since they were gracious enough to send stuff in:
NAPW is on the look-out for talented performers to challenge the upper-card and main event. D!, The Beast, Stylin' Kyle, Static, Ravager, The Plague, J.C. Cook, Misery... fantastic roleplayers looking for more challengers!
NAPW particularly is seeking TAG TEAMS - face and heel.
Rookie e-wrestler? NAPW features Action!, a second show each week designed to give rookies a place to learn the ropes of e-wrestling, including an Action! specific title - the television title. The focus is, of course, on fun, and NAPW feels that rookies need a place to learn and hone their skills. NAPW Action! is the place to do that, and a ticket to Monday Night Fights is there for anybody who shows growth and skill.
NAPW is a roleplay fed based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada - regional but accepting wrestlers from anywhere in the world.
Cheap Plug: “Constructive” Hype
I promised that “constructive hype” thing, right? Remember that you can post your favorite leagues’ event information on the main FWrestling.com page, including the lineup and a link, and then have folks rate the event.
I’ve now made this open to all. Rather than waiting for log-in info, you can create your own by going here.
As more folks (hopefully) use the option to link up their cards, I hope to set up a card archive listing – so get to work! Remember, this doesn’t have to be done by a league fedhead: take the initiative and make sure your favorite league’s cards get some press.
It’s also a good way to get me to take an interest and plug ya on here. ;)
Next Dose
Rather than hold off any longer on posting this, I’m going to go ahead and belay the information I’ve got on World Champions until next time.
What information, you ask? As you may have seen on various boards, I’m trying to collect a list of World Champions and links to their profiles. For what purpose, who knows… I’ll probably start out with the list and some questions to you guys and see if anyone actually reads this thing.
After that, I’m thinking about some fan voting on fantasy matchups. You know – instead of Ric Flair vs. Bruno Sammartino, we’ll do our own version: Lindsay Troy vs. Richard Farnswirth or Rich Rollins vs. Vince Jacobs.
Right now, I have a list of about 25 current “World” Champs (or whatever the lead title in the league is called).
To add to the list, give me ideas on what to do with it, pan the column, or generally annoy folks, click the “Comments” link on the main page. You’ll be taken to a thread on FW Central where you can immediately post – and you don’t need a log-in to do it.
Thanks folks. Since I now have some fodder for next time, the next Dose should be up this weekend or early next week. Again, if you’ve got suggestions, something you want me to babble about, etc. let me know.``xEEFFuAppVArtXXqkJG``x1133493659``xdose``x46231129755181``x``x``xSee! I’ve gone from “monthly” doses to bi-weekly. This can only mean good things. In this edition: some hype near and dear to my heart, a look at LoC, a couple of ways to constructively hype your favorite league, and a call for World Champions everywhere.``x``xfw85x85.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x12571``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Black Thursday``xChad``xIn the mid-eighties, Edmonton Alberta was ravaged by a Tornado so severe, the day was named "Black Friday."
Twenty years later...
On December 1st, New Alberta Pro e-Wrestling will present a Supercard so intense it can only be named BLACK THURSDAY.
-NAPW CHAMPIONSHIP- -TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS- -CAREER vs TITLE- D! (c) vs The Plague
It has come to this. The Plague was one BLACK DEATH away from regaining the NAPW Championship when D! shocked the world and retained the title. The bad blood between the two is poisonous. For one last shot at the title, Plague has put up his CAREER in the NAPW. Once and for all to determine who is the better man. The Plague vs D! III. Two out of three falls. Career vs Title.
-TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP- The Beast & Stylin' Kyle vs The Decapitators
Although The New & Improved D-X retained their titles in a title defense against The Decapitators a short while ago, Decapitator Axe earned his team another shot at the belts with a victory over The Beast in a hardcore match. Tag team gold on the line when The Decapitators challenge D-X once again!
-PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE-THREAT- Static (c) vs Ravager vs Lobo
Since day one in the NAPW, Ravager, Static & Lobo have been embroiled in a three-way feud for the coveted Provincial Championship. Chair shots, interference, out-of-ring attacks have been par for the course, including when Static defeated Ravager for the Provincial Title. The NAPW Commissioner has decided that the only way for these three men to settle their issue is to have a TRIPLE-THREAT at Black Thursday...with the Provincial Title on the line! Will Static retain, will Ravager regain, or will Lobo take the belt for the first time?
J.C. Cook vs Misery
In the fatal fourway where both men debuted, J.C. Cook & Misery wrestled to a draw. Misery didn't take that very well, attacking Cook on the very next show. It's the self-professed Lord Of The Rats versus The Beautiful People when Misery & J.C. Cook meet to settle the score!
-ACTION! BATTLE ROYALE- Khaos Nightmare The Immortal Viking Death Don Marintino Mirage The Crusher The Dragon Technique DJ Wigger
Featuring the junior and rookie wrestlers of NAPW Action!, the winner of the battle royale will receive a bye through the first round of the Action! Television Title tournament to begin after Black Thursday! With all the entrants looking to get promoted to the big show (Monday Night Fights), we may see some surprises in this one!
December 1. NAPW's first supercard. Black Thursday. Don't miss it.``xEEFFullEVZsKxMtwFS``x1133491757``xoldnews``x11691091823717``x``xhttp://www.connexionsmusic.com/napw/``xIn the mid-eighties, Edmonton Alberta was ravaged by a Tornado so severe, the day was named "Black Friday."

Your Dose for the Week of November 14``xChad``xSo maybe this should be the “Monthly Dose,” huh? The good news is that I’m back from over two weeks of training and traveling. The bad news is that I’M BACK!
A limited little blog this time, since what news I did receive in my news@fwrestling.com mailbox is just about outdated. I’ll reference it below, though.
The Hype: TEAM
So Tom Holzerman has figured out that the easiest way to get me to hype something is to name the trophy after me. I encourage the rest of you to follow his example: trophies, awards, cash prizes, children… whatever has meaning for you.
TEAM originally started as a concept for a new league based on team wrestling, featuring wrestlers thrown together randomly or brought in as a league ‘team.’ Now, instead, it has become a 32-man invitational tournament, featuring a number of wrestlers from FW Central, Primetime Central and A1Wrestling (A1E/MBE). Keep in mind that all three of those communities have traditionally been havens for roleplay leaguers – those who like the tet-a-tet of the back-and-forth, the competitive aspect of the promo. That’s not to say there isn’t storyline, but in a tournament like this, the characters have to get to know each other first as they create feuds and stories throughout the run. Some angle fedders could learn from this – sometimes it pays just to throw some guys against each other and see what chemistry develops, as opposed to angling out a year’s worth of a feud that may not work from day one.
So a quick sidenote – exactly how much is Holzerman paying me for the use of the CSWA Auditorium that he’s holding the “Greensboro Regional” in? I mean… it must be something, right? Tom, you can use that little Paypal button on the main page.
While freely admitting that I don’t know all the names involved, and that I’m not up on the roleplay (given my latest trek into wilderness that is New York City), I thought I’d give a couple of early favorites for you. But first, one more sidenote…
SJ: I disagree though. Merritt is under a federal investigation for fraud, has killed midgets, hell, he's even cut off someone's arm with a lightsaber.
SM: That was a fantasy sequence. Gregg Gethard still has both arms intact.
SJ: Well, my point stands. I actually think that it takes away from the prestige of the tournament to have his name attached to it.
So a very brief look at the brackets and my comments:
Philadelphia Regional Hida Yakamo vs. Saint Irish Red vs. Timmy Windham Karl Brown vs. Trevor Hawke Steven Shane vs. Steve Johnson
Most interesting match in this bracket just from the title has to be Irish Red vs. Timmy Windham. Having had a significant role in developing Timmy over the years (though I don’t run him now and haven’t for years), my heart goes with everyone’s favorite Muppet Kid, even if we do now know that he is only a Windham by marriage and that he’s in thrall to the evil Mickey Benedict. Everybody should be allowed some mistakes, huh?
I think the sleeper match in this one is a toss-up between Yakamo/Saint and Brown/Hawke, with my edge going to the latter (for what it’s worth).
Calgary Regional Wildstar vs. Logan Caine Cameron Cruise vs. Beau Michaels Promo vs. Mr. Entertainment Larry Tact vs. Phenomenal Frankie Scott
Again, Wildstar brings back fond memories of the early 90s. Hornet’s original protégé who turned on him to escape his shadow. Since then he’s become the Five-Star Wonder, in the ring and on the stick. But I think his run through this tournament is pretty limited.
Most intriguing match here should be Cruise/Michaels, but I’m better it turns into the year’s biggest “Match That We Are All Worse Off For Having Seen.”
Larry Tact and Promo are fun names that have made their limited runs at various times. It would be interesting to see who wins if they both reach the second round.
Greensboro Regional Dan Ryan vs. "The Prophet" John Adams Rocko Daymon vs. "Yours Truly" Adam Benjamin Andrew Gilkison vs. Shiek Nasty James Irish vs. The Sargeant
Ah…Greensboro.
Dan Ryan and James Irish certainly have the names in this one. Ryan has proved he can work as a character in both the FW leagues and A1 – and if it means anything, he’s got “home field” advantage. Gilkison is another strong A1E name.
But the match of interest in my mind is Rocko Daymon vs. Adam Benjamin. Why? Hopefully you’ll see.
St. Louis Regional Boogie Smallz vs. WildChild Victor Molotov vs. The Mighty Impala Ken Cloverleaf vs. Joe Average Beast vs. Alcaeus
And last but not least, St. Louis. Home of the mighty UNC Tar Heels NCAA Basketball Tournament victory last year. Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices…
Whoops, I think that was sidenote #12 already. I haven’t done my research to find out if this WildChild is Aidan Campbell’s or another. My guess is it’s another, which gives me the chance to lean towards one of the most underrated characters of the last several years, Boogie Smallz.
The Mighty Impala should probably be gone in round 1, and the other two matches seem straightforward, assuming Ken Cloverleaf and Beast show up. But I’ve noticed a bit of hype behind PTC’s Joe Average, and I know nothing about Alcaeus.
So there you have it – a thinly-veiled hypefest for the TEAM Invitational Tournament. You too can have hype – you just either have to name something after me or pay me… it’s really quite simple.
Circuit News and Want Ads
As I said, not much in the mailbox considering the delay, but here’s what I’ve got. Remember, more info can be found on the main page under “Take Two: News From The Dose.”
NWF Blackout went up recently… and don’t you have to love any event that features a “Sadist Match?” I mean, really… how much over-the-top can you get then a domed cage and an electrified cage with not only scaffolds and weapons inside, but lined with C-4 explosives. I’m assuming the lower seats in the arena were blocked off – I hope the view from the Georgia Dome’s upper deck row YY was good.
XWF opened up as of last week and is looking for signees. The first card has been booked and is available on their website.
The show included a main event that pitted Dan Ryan going up against The First and Irishred for the very first UCW Championship crowning. Others on the show included Cameron Cruise, Johnathan Marx, and Cross.
fWo announced their Wrestler of the Year Tournament participants. Full list is available in the “Take Two” news items.

Empire Pro’s Black Dawn PPV is in the middle of being posted as this goes up. If you’ve never seen Beast or the trainwreck that is a Joey Melton vs. Cameron Cruise match, then you need to take a look. And in a cheap personal aside and homage… HORNET WINZ!!!!~ Not only does he win, of course, but he makes an out-of-CSWA appearance thanks to Dan Ryan.
The Closer
So the goal from here on out is to make this the WEEKLY Dose, in hopes that since my travel schedule is clear for at least a month or so, that I’ll actually be able to keep to it. But to do that, I need your help with news and info. So if there’s something you want to hype, something you want me to read and discuss, or something that I’m missing (which is a lot), e-mail me at news@fwrestling.com and I promise to take a look.

Blackout PPV``xChad``xNote: NWF Blackout has now been posted. Sorry for my delay on getting the news up.
The National Wrestling Federation is set to put on it's second edition of Blackout on Pay-Per-View. Last year's event was at the Memorial Stadium in Bakersfield, California. This year, Blackout comes from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. It's presented by X-NET, and features what should be one of the most memorable matches of all time.
With the unfortunate closing of Lights Out Wrestling, one of it's biggest upcoming matches was doomed to never take place... until, "Superstar" Eric Russo, the LOW Extreme Champion, made an appearance at NWF Anarchy on Pay-Per-View, calling out former NWF World Heavyweight Champion, The Demond. These two were engaged in a bitter rivalry in LOW, and now, Russo has brought it to the NWF. The Demond made a shocking appearance at a recent edition of Breakdown, and he accepted the challenge. To top it off, NWF Commissioner BoneCrusher then contacted the former LOW Executives, and with their permission, the match that was set to take place in LOW will now be held in an NWF ring. The Demond vs. Russo, for the LOW Extreme Championship... in a Sadist Match!
Picture this. A domed cage AND an electrified cell. Inside the cage, scaffolds. Weapons everywhere. The outside lined with demolition compound C-4. Not to mention, the cocky but extremely talented Eric Russo, and the 7' 8" monster, The Demond. The NWF has been known to have some very over-the-top extreme matches, but this one is set to blow them all away.
Also on the card, the NWF World Tag-Team Championship, as the Hellfire Club (Blizz and "The Natural" Adam Killing) defend against the New World Revoultion's team of Avalanche and the NWF National Heavyweight Champion, Michael Brian Killion.
The Clash of the Ego Trip, as the New World Revolution's Slim takes on his former Ego Trip Tag-Team Partner, former NWF World Heavyweight Champion "Big D" Daniel Mulholland.
The NWF World Television Championship will be on the line, as the New World Revolution's Ivy defends against Jacob Kavanagh.
And, in the main event, The leader of the New World Revolution, NWF World Heavyweight Champion Oni defends his title against his former mentor, the man without fear, NFM!
It all happens this Sunday Night at the Georgia Dome, live and only on Pay-Per-View. ``xEEFkkVkEkFSwWffxsn``x1132255723``xoldnews``x11691091823717``x``xhttp://www.nwf.online.com``xNote: NWF Blackout has now been posted. Sorry for my delay on getting the news up.

Fright Night 2005 Preview``xChad``xMCW gears up for its third annual Fright Night event with a lineup of major feuds, including:
Madness" Daniel Lane vs. Pete Falco/The Green Enigma: Lane is a newcomer to the MCW ring, making it to the Quarterfinals of the MCW Universal Title Tournament in our revival period. Ever since he made his MCW debut, he has been after Pete Falco, who i! s considered a legend to MCW fans, winning most belts in the fed, some of which are no longer used. However, Falco has made a new image that the fans are finding hard to swallow. And on top of that, he has the help of a longtime nemesis of Lane's, The Green Enigma, to put him down a notch.
-MCW Owner Adams vs. MCW VP Nate Spoons: Adams returned to MCW in September after not only vowing never to return again, and watching Kenny Gaffney, MCW's 3rd different Owner, bring the fed down to its last breath. Adams has helped the revival go well, but VP Spoons brought the idea of reviving another legendary fed back to life, the WFWF, for a one nght only PPV in November. Although Adams has agreed to do so, Spoons is rebelling against Adams.
-Roadpig vs. Orange Bullet: These two men have been friends and rivals on and off for the past 6 years. At Fright Night, their feud will reach new heights as both men are fighting for a spot in the MCW Universal Title Tournament Finals. The one who wins, will have a shot at becoming the 1st 3-time Universal Champion in MCW history.``xEEkAZyEEyEEVFMDkcu``x1129764761``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xMCWOwnerAdams``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/host/ratt2004 ``xMCW gears up for its third annual Fright Night event with a lineup of major feuds, including:``x``xfw85x85.gif``x``x``xMCW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Your Dose for Wednesday, 10/19/05``xChad``xWelcome to what has become known as the FW Daily Dose (updated name thanks to John Rivera). You’ll see more below about what it’s all about – but I thought I’d forewarn you. This ‘episode’ is probably about twice as long as it will be normally, unless, of course, you folks get off your duff and submit some more news, views, reviews, want ads, questions and comments. How’s that for everything but the kitchen sink?
I’m open to input – the ‘sections’ below are my first attempt at putting some decent content together. Others will follow in future editions. Feel free to let me know what you like (and what you don’t), and what suggestions you might have for alternatives.
The Rant: One Ring
For as long as fantasy wrestling has been around, there have been different communities. In the beginning, you had a segment on every bulletin board provider – PRODIGY, AOL, Juno, RSPW (then RSPWF), etc. Each group did things differently and had a slightly different focus. With the advent of the broader Web – the ability to have chat rooms, to build web pages, etc., you began to have even more splinter groups – the Summit, NWC, etc. Now you have federations identified by where the majority of their community has discussion: FWrestling, PTC, EWN, X-Net, etc.
No, this isn’t one of my infamous history lessons. It’s simply quick background to put this in perspective – from the beginning of the game, there has been a desire to “unify” things under one banner. We went through it on PRODIGY, which was more of a homogenous community anyway. Various folks have tried to do it through forums or resource websites. Look through any set of forums (with FW Central being the possible exception) and you’ll see a post pop up every few months asking about having a ‘unified’ event or talking about more collaboration, or an attempt at an ‘interfed,’ and on and on.
It’s time to kill the myth of e-fed “unity.” Collaboration? Absolutely. Interfed events? Sure. One fed/site/person to rule them all? Definitely not.
There are too many differences. In the way feds are set up (their basis), the way they’re run, the frequency of cards, the ages of the handlers, the way they like to communicate, the time they have to spend on the hobby – there’s just simply not one way to do things.
And we like it like that, don’t we? We certainly don’t want to be ‘told what to do.’ Any attempt at reining in ‘disruptive elements’ turns into a discussion on censorship. Any suggestion that another way of doing… anything… turns into a flame war. Discussions on angle vs. roleplay turn into personal attacks on feds or handlers.
So then what’s the point of something like the Daily Dose? It’s not an attempt to ‘unify’ communities. It is, however, an attempt to highlight what’s going on in them. There will always be multiple places to play the game, but a little crosspollination can’t be bad, can it?
I’ve been around long enough to know that to keep you guys reading, there will have to be some controversy to keep it interesting. I’ll be sure to take care of that. But I’m hopeful that that won’t be the only reason to read. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to hit some of the big stuff, but also to pull out some of the gems in the rough that you haven’t seen. I also plan to give folks a relatively open forum in which to highlight the writing they’re doing, plus the help or feedback that they’re asking for.
That being said – I hope to do this about three times a week. If there’s a positive response and the e-mail keeps coming in, then hopefully I’ll add some special guests who can fill up the rest of the days. So, if you’re interested in submitting, simply send your comments/feedback and news/want ads/reviews and discussion to me at news@fwrestling.com.
Remember When?
In April 1998 – when CSWA ANNIVERSARY 1998 marked the beginning of the CSWA’s foray onto its own site and fWo Cyberslam debuted and began the history of the most consistent league of all time?
In 2000 – When Steelramp was supposed to be “a revolutionary Online Wrestling Game” called “In The Ring” and not just Gavin Bannerman’s own personal smiley-faced playground?
From 1994 to 1997 – when the UNIFIED Title History was actually available and not hidden on the current CSWA site? (Coming soon!)
Out Of The Box The winner of the “Match Most Likely To Make Your Head Spin Just From The Stipulations” appears to be the main event for PTC’s Super Series. Let me try to set the stage as best I can from what I’ve read… (I know you guys will correct me if I get this wrong.)
Super Series is a new PTC special event that serves as a precursor to GTT5 (PTC’s fifth annual Golden Turnbuckle Tournament). Highlighting a number of top matches from its member leagues, SS also has some major interfed matches. The Main Event is setup to fill the vacant PTC interfed championships – the Global and Extreme Titles.
So get this – as far as I’m aware, it’s the first “Scavenger Hunt” match. Held on the campus of Harvard University, the goal is for competitors to find and take one of the titles to a PTC official. Once they do, they win. Can you imagine the possible carnage? Wrestlers battling in the bell tower of Eliot Hall Tower… fighting down Cambridge Street… knocking each other through the racks of clothes at the campus bookstore?
And as if that weren’t enough – listen to some of these stipulations: -- The Uber Judge enters the match with the Extreme Title in his possession. -- Karina Wolfenden and Seymour Almasy are tethered together to start the match. They can only be untethered by finding the participant who holds the key to their bonds. -- Rich Rollins is in the match – but if he is knocked out or pinned, that person ‘steals’ his GTT “pick your opponent prize” won during Infinite Gauntlet. (Think “Money In The Bank” but with the power to choose your tournament opponent.)
I haven’t seen anything so confusing, and yet so possibly entertaining, since the days of the WHEEL of DEATH. Then again, it could go the way of that one match, whose name escapes me, that was built around some mammoth, ridiculously-sized cage and featured every wrestler in the promotion – I honestly don’t remember if that was a PTC match, or PCW, or just which league it was in… I just remember that it was more about the scenario then it was the characters. I think this one has the chance to show some great action by using the scenery as a tool to drive the character action.
If I had to handicap this one (which would be a bad idea since I haven’t read all the roleplay, I’d certainly focus on:
-- Shadow’s neo-gothic dilemma -- Hoyt Williams’ cultic documentary -- Brandon Youngblood’s broken-hearted singlemindedness -- Seymour Almasy’s fantastic quest to recover his identity -- Uber Judge’s hilarious quest for Absolute World Domination
… out of those folks I’d have trouble picking my favorites without diving in some more and understanding the backstory. But I certainly was drawn to the Uber Judge immediately. And Youngblood’s battle against trying to balance his personal life and his wrestling pulled me in as well, although that might be because of the similar stories I’ve run with Hornet over the years.
Apologies to anyone I left out by virtue of time. I believe that the Super Series card is currently about half-written and in the final stretches before being posted.
You Made It This Far…
So you’re doing well. A little more to go… but remember:
You can answer the poll question and give feedback here (even without signing up for the boards).
What poll question, you ask? This one, of course: What should future Daily Dose “Rant” topics be?.
Once the answers are given in the feedback thread, I’ll compile them and put them up for a vote – then I’ll answer them in order of the most popular.
I also need your suggestions for cards/events to review, as well as any diabolical questions you’d like me to have to answer (remember…controversy!).
Just post them at the thread above, or if you like to keep secrets, e-mail me at news@fwrestling.com.
Circuit News and Want Ads
Not much in the mailbox as of yet, but here’s what we’ve got. As you submit things, please remember to include your website link. Also, as you’ll see below, I’ve condensed some things since one news item was three pages long – brevity is the soul of wit. Of course, that doesn’t apply to me. It’s my column…I can blather on for days. You can find news items in full on a section of the main FWrestling.com page called “Take Two: News From The Dose” which will include news from the last week that’s highlighted in the Double-D.
ESW is approaching year 3 as 2005 closes out. John Q writes with an update of the ESW haps and a preview of the Ultimate Mayhem card featuring Rob “Slipstream” Richards trying to hold onto the ESW World Title long enough to set a new record. Slipstream fended off Widowmaker recently, taking his reign past 100 days. Another record of note: Rayne noted her ESW-record 63rd victory by defeated Sick Nick as the “Whispers of Immortality” PPV.
ESW is a roleplay-based league that is currently open to new members and features a card a week and a monthly PPV. Click the link above for more info.
An FW.com hosted league, Camp MCW sent in some information on their top feuds and a want ad for a cardwriter as they gear up for their 3rd “Fright Night” event coming up.
We are currently looking for a new cardwriter for MCW, as well as somebody who can update the site due to my little HTML knowledge. If anybody is interested, email the Owner/Webmaster at MCWOwnerAdams@excite.com
MCW seems to have some decent feuds brewing as well…
The hot feuds in MCW for our PPV are the following:
-"Madness" Daniel Lane vs. Pete Falco/The Green Enigma: Lane is a newcomer to the MCW ring, making it to the Quarterfinals of the MCW Universal Title Tournament in our revival period.

Gold Stars
From time to time, recognitions and celebrations are necessary. I mentioned John Rivera earlier as the man who suggested adding “Dose” to the Daily. I can also tell you that he signed a pro wrestling contract today with PCW, an independent based out of Chicago. John can be found trolling the FW Central boards as “John Doe” in WFW, NFW and EUWC.

Ultimate Mayhem Preview``xChad``xAs December’s nears it can only mean one thing for the ESW. (www.ESWONLINE.com) The mark of our 3rd year! Yes for 3 glorious years the ESW has quietly slogged it’s way through the virtually junkyard of 1 million failed e-feds only to have some new and up coming crap fed be proclaimed as the best of the best ever…..So what has our small tight knit group have been up to you ask?
Well simply they have been busy rewriting the history books of course.
Current ESW World champion Rob Slipstream Richards set a milestone in his second tenure as Champ. He past the 100 day mark. Slipstream won the World title way back in July and hasn’t even come close to losing it since.
Although his biggest match and biggest threat stood ahead of him this past Monday on pay per view, Whispers of Immortality. Widowmaker a former two time ESW World champion in his own right was rewarded by co owner Steve Sinclair to face Slipstream for the ESW World title. Widowmaker was up to the challenge and looked to be destined to win as the match started and even thou in the very end Widowmaker did win, he did not however pick up the ESW World title.
ESW legend Kid Krazy added his very own two cents by attacking just about everyone and it was head referee Jusin best judgment to throw the match out.
In the end Slipstream gets to keep his streak alive and he looks to reel in the ultimate record of 156 days as a champion currently held by Griffin.
In other news the first b**** of the ESW Rayne with her victory over the hateable Sick Nick at WOM, picked up her 63rd victory in the ESW, which as you can tell is also a record.
Speaking of Sick Nick, he was named September’s Superstar of the month, the first time he has done so. In other Sick Nick news, His girlfriend and former ESW TV Champion Angel finally returned after mystery disappearing some 4 months ago and while Nick was happy to see her, he wasn’t so trilled to learned she was pregnant.
If you watched WOM you learned that wrestling icon and ESW commissioner JT Blackout had to return to Japan to take care of some pressing family issues and while some are thrilled that he is gone, (Sick Nick, Nanook to name a few) Blackout’s departure does leave a hole in the ESW, namely who will be the next ESW Commissioner. I have it from a good source that starting Monday at Ultimate Mayhem Steve Sinclair will start a new search to name a replacement as ESW’s Commissioner.
Coming up on the 24th when Ultimate Mayhem returns, three time ESW Survivor champion will defend his title against new comer The Hardcore Kid. While it’s nothing new for new faces to the ESW to get title shots so quickly in their careers, one has to think if Soul Reaver is up to the challenge to get all hardcore in the ESW’s version of the hardcore title.
TV Champion Exodus who’s knee is doing better returns to action to face ESW World champion Slipstream, in a match that was originally scheduled for WOM.
Also Kid “freaking” Krazy will meet Widowmaker in a match that no doubt was booked due to last week’s mayhem in the World title match.``xEEkAyAkupuZdNlHKiC``x1129696004``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xJohn Q``xhttp://eswonline.com``xAs December’s nears it can only mean one thing for the ESW.

Look Over to the Left... No, Your Other Left``xChad``xAnnouncement made.
For FW DAILY submissions, questions, etc., e-mail news@fwrestling.com.``x``xfw85x85.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
The Announcement``xChad``xIt’s certainly not as earth-shattering as say, a new Supreme Court justice, or even as mind-blowing as Tom Cruise actually allegedly fathering a child, but here it is.
Beginning shortly (see more below), I’ll begin posting what I’m currently referring to as the “FW Daily.” (If you’ve got a better name, e-mail me and I’ll give you the prize of my undying gratitude.) Just to make things confusing, I don’t plan on posting it daily, although the intent is to eventually get there with your help.
So what is it? Well, first, realize that unless there’s public outcry (which I don’t expect), I’m removing the “Latest Circuit Headlines” from the front page. They may make a return down the line in some other form, but considering few folks were putting in the effort to use them anyway, I don’t think it’s a great lost. In their stead, FW Daily will serve as part-blog and part-news-hype-machine. Think of the old “Daily Lariat” on that site Steve and I once helped start.
So why should you care? Well, for one, FWrestling.com, despite needing a content update, is still, by far, the number one visited fantasy wrestling site on the web – meaning that what’s posted here is seen by an average of just under 200,000 visitors per month accessing over 3,000,000 pages on the site. For two (like that?), because you love me deeply. I know… you can finally admit it. Even you, McNichols.
So what I am asking of you? To get in the habit of e-mailing news@fwrestling.com with any or all of the following:
-- in-character news about your league or your character that you’d like to highlight -- out-of-character news (new leagues, accepting apps, want-ads, etc.) -- basic spotlights on hot characters or feuds that you’re following in your favorite leagues -- info on upcoming league events (cards, tournaments, special events, etc.) -- questions (inane, evil, or otherwise to put me on the spot) that you would like to have me answer or give an opinion on (or that I might poll other folks with). -- commentary on just about any FW-related subject (that might even get you a request to be a regular contributor)
Note, of course, that I maintain editorial control, which means that there’s a chance that not everything will make it in, but I’ll try and let you know if that happens and why.
If and when I start receiving some responses, I’ll kick things off (hopefully beginning next week).
On a personal note, as life gets busier and busier for me (as it has and does for many of you), I find that it’s too easy to shove things that seem ‘less important’ (like this hobby) to the wayside. But I also realize, through experience and through the company that I work for, that it’s important to maintain balance – meaning that there’s a time to work and a time to play, and that one can’t completely overtake the other. All that said, this is an attempt to keep myself involved on a more regular, scheduled level – to do that, I need your help. I need your input on what you’d like to see, I need your news/questions/commentary/reviews to keep my interest level up…and honestly, to keep me feeling accountable to you guys to post your content.
I’m hopeful that this will make is easier to send content in, since you don’t have to log-in or be given access to a posting system, all you have to do is e-mail news@fwrestling.com. Katz also has access to that e-mail, so be sure that I’ll be enlisting his help (as available), just to annoy him.``xEEkAFEkkVFiSljpniN``x1129315853``xdose``x11691091823717``xChad``x``xIt’s certainly not as earth-shattering as say, a new Supreme Court justice, or even as mind-blowing as Tom Cruise actually allegedly fathering a child, but here it is.

KnockOut! 4 - Preview``xTKO``xWith KnockOut set to emulate from the shores of Detroit, TKO’s return event seems set to shake the world of wrestling.
Despite causing an outbreak of chaos at KnockOut 3, El Payaso will resume his work in Total Knockout Wrestling. TKO Chairman Christian Montiero has announced that Payaso is on his final warning with the company, following his interference at KnockOut 1 and his unprofessional actions at KnockOut 3.
The main event will contain a rematch from KnockOut 1, where James Derrick will face off against Mason Hawk. The tension between both Derrick and Mason remains at an all-time high. If Derrick walks away the winner, he will automatically qualify for a World Title shot at TKO Unleashed alongside Mason. If Mason Hawk wins, then Aussie will be defending his High Octane Championship against a roster member of Mason’s choosing. Mason will also be given the privilege of selecting a competitor for the TKO Unleashed main event.
Fenix Nigma will continue to prove himself as he takes on Scotty Adams this week. Both men have competed against each other in the ranks of the AWA, so this match should be an explosive bout.
With Montiero already proving his worth in the ring against Johnny Vivacious several weeks ago, the TKO Chairman will take to the ring once more as he faces newcomer Tommy Stone. Stone has followed the career of Montiero for some time, and requested the match prior to his contract signing.
Although the planned World Title contendership bout of KnockOut 3 was cancelled due to the events which unfolded, Montiero has scheduled a bout to determine the empty place. Payaso will be given a second chance to challenge for the World Title as he takes on renowned Project Xero competitor Yoshi Yawakuzi. The winner of this match will head to the main event of Unleashed.
World Title contender Mortiis Magnus will take to singles competition against newcomer Supernova. Although the main event for TKO Unleashed has been set in stone, a win against contender Mortiis could set Supernova up as a possible contender for the belt.
Also schedualed for the event, TKO Hall Of Fame entrant Chris Johnson will be present at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Morris Johnson will give a speech from his hometown of Newcaslte, England. ``xEEkuZkylupRKHYikVX``x1124730440``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xJesse Southern``xhttp://www.tkowrestling.net``xWith KnockOut set to emulate from the shores of Detroit, TKO’s return event seems set to shake the world of wrestling.``x``xtko2.jpg``x``x``xTKO``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

An Anonymous Interview``xtholzerman``xAlright, the second interview in my series will be with none other than the Anglo Luchador himself, Jericoholic Anonymous, or to those who know of him from his work in Empire Pro or the CSWA, just plain JA.
TS: Alright, my name is Thomas Smith, and I'm sitting here with the Number One Contender to the A1E World Heavyweight Championship, the CSWA Greensboro Champion and all around goofball, Jericoholic Anonymous. JA it's good to have you here.
JA: It's a pleasure to be here, Tom.
TS: Alright, the first question on my mind and on a lot of people's minds is... well, I thought you said you'd never step back into an A1E ring?
JA: (laughs) Yeah, no one's ever going to let me live that down. I've had Dan [Ryan] and Lindsay [Troy] call me a sellout for the last couple of months or so, and the funny part was, they came back just shortly after I did.
TS: Yeah, but that doesn't explain why you came back.
JA: Oh, I see how it is. (chuckles) Seriously, never is too long of a time to stay away, and no matter where I went, the A1E World Heavyweight Championship still was the one thing in my career that I desired the most. That and A1E always was my home, and no matter what anyone else says, you CAN go home again, Tom.
TS: Well, you're certainly proving that, having plowed your way through the Golden Dreams Tournament and earning your shot at the World Title at the flagship event for A1E. How does that feel?
JA: It feels great Tom. I mean, the opportunity comes but once in a lifetime sometimes to be able to main event the biggest event on the A1 circuit and one of the biggest events in all of wrestling. I just feel like I'm *that* much closer to attaining the dream. Plus, unlike last time, I've got some support in my corner.
TS: Well, speaking of that support, I'm guessing your re-entry into the locker room has been warmer than it was when you left?
JA: Yeah, it has been. It's good to have friends in the industry.
TS: One of those friends has been Dan Ryan. Are there any plans to work with him in A1E at all?
JA: Eh, who knows. If I win the title, there could be something in line, seeing that he's one of the best in the business, bar none, but if I don't, there are other programs, scores to settle that I'd actually like to pursue in place of that.
TS: Like who?
JA: Well the obvious answer is Beast. I don't think the complete JA/Beast story has been told yet, and A1E's the perfect ground to tell it. When I left A1E, there was an awfully bad taste in both our mouths, but I think we can definitely forget that and move on.
TS: Beast and Ryan are both integral parts of Empire Pro Wrestling, which was your first company of employment when you came back. How are things there?
JA: Eh, they could be going a little better for me. I mean, I had a big program with Steve Savoy that kinda just fizzled out. I was really bummed because I liked working with him. That and the A1E invasion.
TS: Yeah, AJ Cirrus, Ken Cloverleaf and Steven Shane all coming over.
JA: It's not that I have a problem with those guys, it's just a little frustrating that I sign with A1E and half the roster also jumps over to Empire. But it's cool, because really, I've never worked with Shane before, and plus there are some other guys in Empire that you can't find anywhere else on the FW or A1 circuits. Christian Sands, Jack Owyns, Karl Brown, Foxx, Tariq Ismail. I'm still very much looking forward to Black Dawn and beyond in Empire.
TS: Looking beyond Empire, you also signed a contract with the CSWA, and you recently won the Greensboro Championship at Anniversary. What are your impressions of the Granddaddy?
JA: Heh, well, it's a well-run ship, even if the cards are a little sparse at times. I'm lucky to be there and to be one of their ambassadors after such a short time on the roster. Hopefully, I can run with the ball they handed me.
TS: Alright, now it's time for some word association. JA, you ready?
JA: Of course I am.
TS: Alright, Lindsay Troy.
JA: A very deserving World Champion and great all-around performer.
TS: MBE
JA: Wish it never had to go away in the first place.
TS: Big Dog
JA: One of the all-time greats on any circuit
TS: Troy Windham
JA: Whooo, dream match right there
TS: Euclid
JA: No comment
TS: The Dis angle
JA: Sheer brilliance. Dan and Lindz even worked me there.
TS: Maggot
JA: My best friend in the business
TS: Miles/Mayfield
JA: Oh man, match of the year
TS: And finally, Golden Dreams
JA: JA finally realizing the dream
TS: Alright, that will wrap it up. Thanks for your time JA.
JA: Anytime, man.``xEEkuEkkZlEdazCijhQ``x1124126381``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Informer``xhttp://angloluchador.blogspot.com``x``x``x``xmondaywire.gif``x``xA1E, CSWA, EPW``xThe Informer``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
LIVE! Rocks and Shocks``xJoe``xCincinnati (Event News) ~ Superior Championship Wrestling's inaugural event, LIVE!, was not only sold-out, but rocked and chock full of surprises! The brand new Paramount Arena was rocked by kidneythieves and No Leaf Clover while the SCW action blew the roof off of the venue. Throughout the week the net buzzed with rumors of a tournament, rumors of sleepers and big names to appear at the premiere event which sold out the Paramount Arena is just three days!
The 24,398 in attendance were far from disappointed as SCW CEO, Joseph Luciano, booked four matches on the fly in quarterfinals of a three week single-elimination tournament to culminate at August 28ths supercard event, The Main Event, for the SCW Global Championship! The six publicly announced names were all in attendance as well as two silent entries that ended up drawing names against each other. Four advanced into next week's semi-final matches to determine the main event at the supercard.
Luciano and his twin sister, Maria, had a power dispute as to who would be appointed the promotion's General Manager. The dispute was far bigger than the Luciano twins as marital turmoil exploded LIVE! in front of the red-hot crowd. By the events close it was very clear who held the power in the palm of their hand? or was it?
A former IAWF World's Champion and two-time CORE Classic Champion made an appearance and accepted a match at the upcoming supercard against SCW's in-house trainer, Johnny Vivacious! The match at The Main Event will be non-sanctioned, no holds barred and falls count anywhere. Vivacious was barred from the Paramount Arena next week to protect what has been dubbed, the greatest match of all time.
As for those eliminated, including one man that didn't even compete, Luciano awarded them a second chance. What? In what is being joked as the Loser's Bracket, the four men that didn't advance will face off next week to decide the contenders for the SCW Television Championship which will also be decided on August 28th.
SCW has definitely made an impact on the industry putting their first event in the books and their second on the horizon. With a supercard building in the background it looks as if SCW is the new locomotive leading the way to superior entertainment.``xEEkFApAEVAnxahIFEw``x1123912759``xoldnews``x``xCody Touchstone``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/superiorefed/``xSuperior Championship Wrestling's inaugural event, LIVE!, was not only sold-out, but rocked and chock full of surprises!

Four key members of the company released``xTKO``xThe recent two week hiatus for Total Knockout Wrestling has left the company in shambles.
Speaking from TKO’s headquarters in Philadelphia, Montiero addressed the situation to the national press.
“With a series of shock events unfolding at the recent KnockOut taping in Portland, the company has been left without key roster members” said Christian Montiero. “But nonetheless, expect to see TKO becoming much stronger in the coming weeks.”
The night in question started with an encounter between El Payaso and Staci, valet of Johnny Vivacious. Vivacious and Payaso have both rivalled each other since the first KnockOut broadcast in Toronto, where the pair fought to the backstage area after Payaso made a run-in during Vivacious’ match. Payaso made a series of inappropriate statements before being interrupted by Montiero. Once Vivcious heard of these events, he made himself scarce.
As the night progressed, Payaso met with both fellow roster member Morris Johnson and CEO David Nitro about the security of his up-coming match. The match was scheduled for Payaso and Vivacious to meet for a shot at the TKO World Title at Unleashed. It was agreed that extra security would be provided for the match, should things get out of hand.
As the fans prepared themselves for the main event however, nobody expected what was to happen.
During the High Octane Championship between Morris Johnson and James Derrick, Vivacious made his way to the ring through the crowd. Johnson, the partner of El Payaso, took no notice. As the match continued, Vivacious entered the ring bearing a claw hammer. He proceeded to assault Johnson to the point where Derrick, himself a rival of Johnson, had to intervene.
Vivacious was immediately arrested by local police. Johnson was taken to hospital, with news of his injuries released two days ago. He sustained damage to his right calf which doctors stated could not be repaired.
Through this, Montiero has been forced to release Vivacious over the incident. Vivacious remained in custody for just over a week and was acquitted from all charges. It has been rumoured that the star has been in talks with Superior Championship Wrestling with an appearance deal, although nothing has of yet been confirmed.
Montiero has also granted the release request of Morris Johnson, who is thought to be out of in-ring competition indefinitely. Another major announcement this week was the release of TKO Chief Executive Officer David Nitro, who was thought to have instigated the situation, with evidence that a conversation between him and Vivacious occurred earlier in the evening. The status of El Payaso is unknown, with no planned appearances up until TKO Unleashed.
“Although it was apparent that Vivacious was enraged over Payaso’s actions that night, his actions towards Morris Johnson were inexcusable,” Montiero continued. “Regardless of his status in TKO, to keep a man who could partake in such a sadistic act on the TKO roster would be inexcusable.”
“We are sad that Morris’ run with TKO has ended in this way. Many thought Johnson had the potential to make an impact in the company. Total Knockout Wrestling wishes him a speedy recovery, and we hope to see Morris again soon.”``xEEkFZpVyVZURlqNiHB``x1123709257``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xChristian Montiero``xhttp://www.tkowrestling.net``xThe recent two week hiatus for Total Knockout Wrestling has left the company in shambles.

Paramount Arena Opens``xJoe``xCincinnati (Business Wire) ~ The Paramount Arena in Cincinnati, home of Superior Championship Wrestling, opened it's doors Friday morning allowing the press to get the first look at the magnificent sports venue.
They were herded into the pressroom and greeted by Maria Luciano, SCW's Chief Operations Officer, who announced the names of the talent signed with the promotion. The names included Bourne of CWR fame and Mark Landers, the son of IWE promoter, Zane Landers. Lisa Lopez, the agent of the recently signed Shane Johnson, also addressed the group.
Dean Naylor, another IWE superstar known more so for his experience in the mixed martial arts, was present at the conference. He and his agent, Ian Sammonds, went into negotiations shortly after the meet-and-greet. In a shocking turn of events, Naylor has made it well known that the negotiations did not go well claiming, "At this moment I am not apart of SCW and the way things are going, I will not be apart of this company."
Jack Griffith, the first superstar on the mainstream roster to step into the arena, awed the fans later in the evening at a live house show. He made it a point to address the entire mainstream roster, challenging them all to a match at the first event.
The snake in the grass may prove to be a man who has kept to himself since signing is Robert Williamson. Ms. Luciano announced that Williamson will make his presence known when he is ready calling him her number one pick to bring SCW instant success.
What does Ms. Luciano's twin brother, Joseph Luciano, have in store for these signings? Rumor has it that it's some kind of tournament to be announced at the inaugural LIVE! Event on Thursday, August 11! Stay tuned as details progress.``xEEkFFZulVFLYqSZCIR``x1123378453``xoldnews``x``xDustin Evan Allan``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/host/superiorefed/``xThe Paramount Arena in Cincinnati, home of Superior Championship Wrestling, opened it's doors Friday morning allowing the press to get the first look at the magnificent sports venue.``x65.24.49.50;;Joe;;superiorefed@yahoo.com``xfw85x85.gif``x``x``xSCW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Now, the feeling out process is over for 36 wrestlers who have 10 more weeks to make their push towards the Ultratitle Playoffs. With no front-runners and many champions already humbled (Troy Windham, Michael Manson, Deacon) critics are applauding NFW's achievment of roster parity at such a high level.
Amongst, the Eastern Conference -- Doc Silver will defend the crown against Kevin Powers, Dan Ryan and Felix Red will battle in a Falls Count Anywhere Match, while a Final Four rematch from last season will go down when Michael Manson takes on Jonathan Marx.
Meanwhile, The Western Conference will 'roll' into Las Vegas, Nevada where they will make a TWO-SHOW STOP at the Hard Rock Casino. Some of the marquee matches will feature some interesting battles: Miles/Windham, Mayfield/Deacon, Randalls/Adler, Flair/Christ, Winters/Alias.

SummerShock 2005!``xJoseph Duncan``xThis past Sunday night, the National Wrestling Federation put on it's first Pay-Per-View of it's second operational year, NWf SummerShock 2005, live from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario! Two titles returned, while the Tag-Team and World Heavyweight titles were defended. Hidden forces were revealed, and rising stars emerged!
The NWF World Television Championship returned, as Starla defeated Johnny Scarecrow and Spawn in a Triple-Threat Ladder Match to become the new TV Champion!
Also, in the first of several cage matches, "The Master of Mikeatude" Michael Brian Killion and Nemesis brought an "explosive" end to their long-running, bitter rivalry. In the end, MBK took the victory after a Holy Diver off the top rope through a table on into a bag filled with C-4.
Plus, "The Franchise" John Bane did battle with "The Main Event" David Strajk in the single most violent match in the history of the National Wrestling Federation. Bane was able to defeat Strajk, but both men were badly injured and carted away.
The National Heavyweight title also returned, as six men battled inside the "Terror Cage" (Elimination Chamber). In the end, The Dark Rider's Rohan defeated "Big D" Daniel Mulholland, Pete "POz" Osbourne, "The Dragon" Koden Farber, "Da Hood" James Maclin, and Slim, to become the new National Heavyweight Champion!
Slim defeated Knightmare by Disqualification. At the end of the match, Koden came out to confront Knightmare for his attack on NFM. However, the shock of the night was when Knightmare was revealed to be none other than... NFM himself!
The Dark Riders (Rohan & Ultraforce) defended the NWF World Tag-Team titles against Starla & Siarlis, The Offspring (Colin Ray and "Chronic" Chris Collission), and The Ego Trip (Slim and "Big D" Daniel Mulholland). While Rohan was able to defeat both members of The Ego Trip earlier on for the National Heavyweight title, this time, it was the Ego Trip taking the victory to become the new NWF World Tag-Team Champions.
In the main event, The Eagle defended the NWF Heavyweight Championship of the World against Big EVIL. This match, like all others on the card, was a classic. In the end, The Eagle took the victory to successfully defend the NWF title!
What a night it was at SummerShock 2005!

Luciano to Open Applications``xJoe``xCincinnati (Business Wire) ~ It has been confirmed that the Superior Wrestling Entertainment (SWe) Executive Committee has elected the man to forefront the company's brand of sports entertainment, Superior Championship Wrestling (SCW)!
Wrestling tycoon and media mogul, Joseph Luciano, took the reigns of the company Monday afternoon promising great success in the brand.
Luciano recently toured the Cincinnati area, where SCW will call home, including the $375M Paramount Sports Arena. The Paramount, the first major venue of its kind, was built with SCW and professional wrestling in the core of the design. The Paramount is also the home of SCW's development and training facility, Ring Ropes.
Talent scouts have been sent to scour the globe and pull the business' top stars to the Queen City as SCW is expected to announce an opening date in the next few days! Luciano will remain in Cincinnati to personally interview talent and staff.``xEEkkuVuFAuHGtWEqeV``x1122457994``xoldnews``x``xDustin Evan Allan``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/superiorefed/index.html``xTalent scouts have been sent to scour the globe and pull the business' top stars to the Queen City as SCW is expected to announce an opening date in the next few days!

Stipulation Added to Grudge Match!``xhexedangel``xWith the weeks soon turning to days until the CSWA presents its biggest event to date, CSWA17, all eyes are riveted to the Final Four of the UNIFIED Championship tournament, the Champion's Challenge, and of course, the final match for Eli Flair in his decade - long CSWA career, against the legendary Hornet.
But there is another match scheduled for this event, perhaps the longest running sustained feud in recent memory, as Poison Ivy, longtime manager and social commentator, will take to the ring against manager - turned - commentator - turned CSWA Vice President Teri Melton. This match was signed after a backstage altercation that ended with a broken nose for Melton, and is scheduled to be an "I QUIT" match, certainly robbing either party of their dignity against their arch-nemesis.
FW.Com has recently learned of an extra added stipulation to this grudge match, as the two women have put their money where their mouth is and wagered something even more precious than bragging rights.
Should Teri Melton make Ivy McGinnis say 'I QUIT,' than McGinnis will become Melton's personal assistant, no task too menial, no job too humiliating.
Should Ivy McGinnis make Teri Melton say 'I QUIT,' than Teri Melton will have to give up her position as CSWA Vice President to McGinnis, along with the office, the salary, the kickbacks, the midget manservants, etc.

But there comes a time when history is not enough – it’s just history. There comes a time when looking back at “golden years” is nothing but wishful thinking, nothing but dreams of days-gone-by. There comes a time when we all stand at a crossroads, deciding whether to stay on the path of the comfortably known, or stepping out onto the unbeaten path of the unknown, filled with anxiety and questions, but also with hope for the future.
Years ago, the CSWA was called the pinnacle of the sport, the best in the business, one of the greatest of all-time. In recent years, the ‘legend’ of the CSWA has shown up in small spurts, moments of greatness gone too quickly.
July 24. The CSWA stakes its claim to greatness again.

Russel David's The Mark: Issue #002``xdillon``xRussel David’s The Mark: Issue #002 Issue:002 Spring 2005 Edition OOC Notes: Again, thanks to everyone who made the Mark possible. Mat, Russo, Renner, etc. Especially you members of the eWAP out there. ;)
He’s still alive!
Yes, I am and so is The Mark. Of course it is. Why wouldn’t it be? Huh? HUH?!
Sorry, just a little edgy after going through the rush roaring positive reaction from the first issue (honestly, quite nice to hear from so many people on it; thanks alot for general thumbs up across the board, and of course I still remember it smarty)… followed by the massive heart attack that was the 2004 MARK AWARDS~!!! (and you where wondering why it took a few extra days to put this puppy together J) I’ll get to them in a bit though, as issue #002 has proven to be very introspective… and not just on the first quarter of ’05. First off though, let me throw everything else that’s NEW, your way, before the word on that extra-double special feature. Now if you have any questions about the content in general, that you don’t see me cover in this One Man Rant, please feel free to check out the first issue of Russel David’s The Mark (especially if you haven’t already!). I run through each one of the regular features.
Speaking of the regular features...
Actually, before I go into those regular features, I’d like to talk about the In Memory Of… Harvard Avalon feature. It’s known that wrestling isn’t the kindest sport when it comes to the longevity of people’s life spans, those who put there body on the line in the right, and those who put there life on the line with what they put in there body. Harvard wasn’t a performer though, he was a promoter. One HELL of a promoter. So I’ve gathered some words from his close friends and confidants, those who worked with him and for him, and I’d love to put it forward and let it speak for itself, about the creator of the short-lived but forever-remember Squared Circle promotion. Now if you’d rather skip the nice words said about such a wonderful man, just remind me to punch you in the nuts later.
I’d look for a segway from the nuts punching comment to wanting to get into the fun of the regular features now… but hey, I’d have to chat with Craig Miles to come up with the best connection… and I tend to do that sporadically for my health. Anywho, one thing you’ll notice about the FWSX is that the last quarter wasn’t entirely all that kind to half of the first listing. What with tSC closing it’s doors, CSWA and NFW going on a hiatus of sorts, and PRIME (and a few breakout stars in ACW and the reopened Jolt) rising to a more prominent place in the sports entertainment world… things ended up getting quite shock up. Six of the Top Ten and twelve of the entire list of twenty said good-bye. Meaning that not only do we have a NEW number one, but EIGHT new faces in the Top Ten alone.
Though she isn’t a new face, she’s still one of the youngest competitors since Lesnar to be make like waves, while being, I’d guess, half the size. Atleast. For Last (Wo)Man Standing I had the pleasure of interviewing Karina Wolfenden, and let me say I’d certainly be up for another interview any time. Even got to hang out in a hell of a joint, by the name of Hell’s Belle. If you where able to find it, and survive within it, I’d highly suggest it. I’m just lucky I had directions and then a chaperone. Hopefully you’re NOW looking forward to the interview with the much heralded Negasonic Lupine.
If you’re looking for Roleplay in issue #002, you’ll be missing it. Sorry to those who got a kick out of the misadventures of my ten minutes of insanity with Mr. Miles… but fear not, it’ll be back with a slightly different format and possibly, and all-new co-panelist!
You’ll also get you’re second look at Reel Wrestling, next issue. With the possibilities of it being a current superstar, and a Reel Wrestling for the vault, more or less equal. So yep, wait and see.
So that’s you’re update on what you where and weren’t expecting within this issue of The Mark. This One Man Rant ceeertainly isn’t over yet though, because please allow me to now introduce the concept that is this issue’s BIG ol’ special feature, and a fitting year in review in and of itself! The 2004 Mark Awards came to mind as a simple column based awards ‘ceremony’, with the added bonus of making it as WORLD spanning as possible. Now to make them as world-spanning as I want this column to allow itself to be, I needed some help… and that’s where the formation of the eWrestling Associated Press (eWAP) comes in, while also doubling as a funny sound. Which was certainly a nice unexpected bonus. With the great people that make up eWAP, the Award deciding is taken out of my hands of considerably low all-encompassing knowledge and is put in the hands of a collection of individuals. I’ll stop ranting about it here though, and save some descriptive set-up for the feature itself. Speaking of eWAP though, do enjoy a look at the Mark Awards ballot of senior member Poison Ivy, in a special edition of The Ivy League within The Mark. Otherwise look forward to cheering on possible winners of awards, who’s vote getters range from PRIME to tSC to fWo to ACW to NFW, and much more.
And with that rant put to bed, let’s get this sequel started!
There is not much that I can say that won’t be wonderfully summed up by those who knew the great man that was Harvard Avalon, in the sound-bytes ahead. I honestly never personally knew the man, and only met him on occasion while covering tSC for the Pro Wrestling Magazine. What I’ve been able to ascertain though, through the stories of his friends, was that he was a man that was a natural storyteller. Though surprisingly, some might say, with this deft handle on storytelling, he never wanted to put himself over his brainchild in the tSC… and would never think of even appearing on Tuesday Night Wrestling. He only wanted to help others, help there careers. He gave many a man a second chance, a true home away from home… and a true platform for the world. All of this in twenty-five years of life. Harvard McCarthy Avalon would succumb to cancer several weeks before his twenty-sixth birthday, changing lives as only he could, as leaving a widow in Rosemary Woods-Avalon. You know, from what I’ve heard… Rosemary was honestly and truly Harvard’s soulmate, being the daughter of a wrestling promoter, she was that final key in helping realize Harvard’s dreams in life, both professional and personal.
In doing so, changing the landscape of professional wrestling and what it could be, and in his short time… making the most of what was revealed as a sadly finite life in the Squared Circle.
Harvard Avalon 1979 – 2004
"He had no selfish memorandums, no will to deceive." – Mike Randalls; 20-time World Champion, former member of the Squared Circle
"I regret to say that I can't really comment too much on the person he was away from the business. It's at times like this that you regret simply being someone who sat across a desk from the man, or talked mainly in phone calls. What I can say is that Harvard was a great businessman. One of the best. Not because he was ruthless, or always managed to negotiate things in his favor. It was because he was honest, always looking to give those around him a leg-up in the name of competition. To be someone in this business with no enemies is a greater achievement than having the largest balance sheet at the year end. It was a pleasure to work with him as owner of RUSH Pro Wrestling, to try and realize his dream of revitalizing the US Indy scene, and he'll be missed by all in this industry. For every promotion owner struggling to break even, looking with envy at the pyro exploding on their TV sets every week, drop one of those Squared Circle tapes in your VCR, and be reminded of what this is all about. Thank you, Harvard. May your memory live on with every ring bell that chimes around the US Indy scene." -- Christian Alexander Kannon; former owner of Rush Pro Wrestling
"He was decent. Yeah, that's a horrible thing to say about someone, but for an owner in this business, it's unheard of. From my limited experience with him, he was honest and fair with the boys, he never had an unkind word for anyone, and I've never heard one about him. Give us a half dozen owners like Harvard Avalon and we'll turn this sport into a utopia." – Eli Flair; Two-time fWo World Champion, noted appearance in the Squared Circle vs. Rook Black
“I’d like to say something about Harvard that has style and class sprinkled throughout, you know, in a way that ‘won't resemble his molotov cocktail-wielding Uncle Yuri in a barn full of hobos’. And yeah, just so you know you where just treated to a Harvard-ism. He was the best damn bossman that one could hope for. A man that trusted me to be that flagship guy, the first Champion, the first out the door and to the public. Harvard trusted me with such a weight, during those important days of a fed, the all or nothing days. Though the great thing is, he was right there beside me shouldering the weight, shouldering the weight of his federation… and loving every second of it. Like he was born to live and breathe the business. I’ve only know one other man like him, who had such a respect for this business and those who worked within it… and that other man may as well have been family. What can I say… same goes for Harvard, because as an owner, he could have been my brother. There’ll never be anyone like him again, that’s for damn sure. My… my heart goes out to Rosemary.” -- Alias; Current ACW superstar and the first and longest reigning tSC Champion
"Now...a lot of people have actually commented on my goings-on in the back as it pertains to Harvard. Some genuinely bought into the character that didn't get along with him. Some never saw him. But through the thick of things, this guy gave me my opportunity. My very FIRST opportunity in fifteen years. I've been all about other people, but he saw how much these people hated Sonny Gabriel Silver and he said, 'Hey, Sonny. We're giving you the title in Madison Square Garden.' That was the crowning point of my career. Nothing else has touched that." -- Sonny Silver; Current fWo Superstar and second tSC Champion
"Without a doubt, Harvard Avolon had something in common with every wrestler he hired. He loved this business, loved it like a mark, and loved everything that could be accomplished with it. It was Harvard's goal to make something good, with no real desire to dominate the industry, no desire to increase his stock portfolio and make a fortune. He wanted his show, his tSC to be about us, not himself. So I can only say that he gave to us, the wrestlers on his team, the best thing anyone ever could: limitless opportunity to do what we loved the most, the best way we knew how. Harvard never once made a member of the Squared Circle do anything they didn't want to do. Harvard never once tried to humiliate, control, manipulate anyone. If it were in my power, I would've loved for Harvard to have lived forever, so that tSC could've continued to give the generation after generation of wrestlers the beautiful opportunity that I have had. Instead, since he's gone, I'll just have to cherish my memories of this great man, and each time I look upon the tSC championship, I'll remember the guy who provided this dream-like opportunity for me." -- Rook Black; final tSC Champion
"What can I say? I didn't know him all that well, but from what I did know he seemed like he really loved the business. Too many people are all about money these days and not enough about purity. Purity is what this sport was built on back in the day -- two men competing out of respect, not a big, fat paycheck. Right around when tSC was set to begin, I was going through a tough period in my life, and unfortunately, I had to drop out last minute. When I came back in August and started talking to some the boys again, Harvard was the first to call me up and offer me a job. I wouldn't have asked -- in my mind, I'd burnt that bridge, whether I'd wanted to or not -- but I'm glad he did. So many of the promoters I've known hold grudges over missed dates, but Harvard wasn't like that. He understood that people make mistakes, and that sometimes second chances are warranted. Like I said, I didn't really know him on a personal level, but I knew enough to know that he was a man I'd willingly go and beat myself up again for. RIP, Harvard." -- 'The Original' Jeff Garvin; the ORIGINAL Action! Champion and a former tSC superstar
"Harvard was a good man, truly one of the good people in the business. I still remember meeting him for the first time when RPW and tSC started our crossover, the night they came to Adrenaline as guests. A class act with so much wisdom and knowledge to share. So many guys in our business have lost their lives too prematurely, and Harvard is certainly one of them." -- Violence Jack; the King of Indies
"Despite my limitations, I tried each and every night to put on the best possible show I could. There was no a single night that I did not go all out. Never did I half-ass it. And I did all that because of Harvard. Because he took a chance on me. He didn't, not even once, look down on me or show disappointment in his decision to hire me. Him taking that risk -- that meant a lot. He'll never know how much that helped me. Harvard... you'll be missed." – Max Danger; current ACW superstar and former tSC superstar
"Harvard Avalon was a good man, maybe even a great man. But as great a man he was, he was an even better wrestling promoter. He raised the standards of honesty and decency in a business populated by greedy sleazeballs who don't give a good rat's ass about you besides how many tickets you'll sell for them. I worked for many people in 14 years in this business, and Harvard Avalon was the greatest. And that, perhaps, is the best compliment I can give him. That, and not firing my wife two weeks in. Ow. What? [smirk]” -- Rob T; one half of the Square Circle tag team Thunderstruck
"There are those who said I was a huge risk, a liability, too fragile and emotional to make it as a wrestler. Harvard Avalon believed in me. He gave me my first chance. My first real run as a wrestler. He was very proud of my progress as a wrestler. These are debts I can never have hoped to repay, even if he had lived. I loved him, he was very beloved, and Harvard will be greatly missed. God rest his soul." -- Michelle Masters; the other half of the Square Circle tag team Thunderstruck and current fWo superstar
"This is a very emotional subject to talk on. I owe so much of what I am to Harvard Avalon. He took a shot on a down and out guy who was just starting in this business and not only gave me a job, but allowed me to prove myself. He pushed me to places I had never dreamed about. He put me in programs with guys like Chris and Mike, and they taught me so much. But without Harvard...without him...I wouldn't be half the man I am today. God...I...I...miss him. Everything I am I owe to Harvard. He gave us a platform...I mean...my god. Just...I can't say anything else." -- Brandon Youngblood
Rosemary/Coral Avalon
Incase you’re wondering… Must Read TV is by no means a way that I pick out the top of the crop, in the four categories given. It’s the events that have grabbed me and given me a damn enjoyable time. It’s something that I, as a critic of things wrestling (with limited time and thus a limited scope of the landscape, naturally), want YOU as a reader of this column to go out and take a look at. That is, if you’ve not caught onto things and witnessed said event already. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy these pieces of wrestling goodness as much as I have… and with that said… my picks of prime viewing.
● Must Read RP What Could Have Been... A Life for A Life? - Killean Sirrajin – PRIME (http://prime.e-wrestling.org/roleplays/messages/193.shtml) I could say that these are the moments that led to the demise of the K-Wolf’s record streak and Universal Title reign, just as it started, but that would be cheating ol’ Killean. So go read this RP before the man that now represents what some doubted him to be able to, but others knew was inevitable. Plus hey, because half of it is before the print date and the other half is after, I’ll let it slide as a first quarter RP. ;)
● Must Read Match Duel Halo 2005 – Culture Shock – PRIME (http://prime.e-wrestling.org/PPV/cultureshock05.html) I could run through every insane spot and moment in this mammoth son-of-a-gun, but then we’d be here all day. So suffice to say, by the end, let’s just say that the awesome structure that they built for this mother, is about as dead as the superstars within it. Even more so. Well not entirely… but even AFTER all of this, there’s still a touch of controversy and a ton of reasoning on why K-Wolf is other places in this column.
● Must Read Show breakOUT – ACW (http://www.theacw.net/television/breakout.shtml) Wrestling truly kicks itself into high gear, come April, May, June… when the insanity of the spring turning into summer brings out the BIG cards of the year. So for January, February, March, you find yourself waiting and watchig the quite riot which is the build up. Culture Shock was certainly in the running for the Must Read Show, as a whole, but I didn’t want to have a PRIME sweep… I’d like people to see a little something else, get there daily intake of different places. The build-up might also include another great battle royal-centric card like Bodycount from the fWo. Though if you haven’t read that, you’ve lost yourself already. ;) So what I want to bring your way is the start of what can only be something big, from the boys of All-Star Championship Wrestling. It’s not the end that you’ll find here, but quite the exciting beginning. Enjoy!
For the 1st Quarter [January, February, March] 2005 [1st Quarter Rank] Name (Fed); /-# (from 4th Quarter Rank); Highest Ranking; QOL – Quarters on List; Note/”Quote” [01] Karina Wolfenden (PRIME) NEW;#1;1Q The Negasonic Lupine tore up the Primetime Central circuit and specifically PRIME wrestling, her new home, defeating 30 others in the monstrous Dual Halo match (with a bit of controversy of course) on the way to a Universal title shot and the inevitable victory over then champion Boda. All of this, to cap off a record-tying TEN consecutive victories spanning from the moment she debuting within a PRIME ring to her eventual Universal Title victory. As we go to press she has lost the Universal Title to Killean Sirrajin BUT to counter influence any negative effects this may have in the long run, she has also recently walked out victorious in PTC’s Seven of the Best tournament. Which is… what it sounds like, a group of seven of the best wrestling has to offer, fighting for a shot at PTC’s Global Title. ”Um... okay. So, yeah. Stoked. I guess you could say it's been a kinda 'wow' start to 2005. But, hey, I do this to entertain, so I guess this means I'm doing a pretty good job, huh?” [02] Eli Flair (fWo) 1(3);#2,2Q [03] Seymour Almasy (ACW & IIRC) NEW;#3;1Q ”Wow. I'd like to thank all of my fans, Andy Sharp for putting up with my stories of memorable boss battles on the road, and most importantly, SquareEnix for making video games. FF12 WILL RULE!” [04] Brandon Youngblood (Jolt & PRIME) NEW;#4;1Q - Brandon Youngblood took part in PRIME's Dual Halo match at Culture Shock. While he did finish forth, echoes of conversy can be heard as he was not pin and did not submit, instead passing out to the Soprano. Just weeks later, Youngblood took down Chris Mezz and then Jeff Garvin at Wrestle Sault to become the company's first Triple Crown Champion. The main event to Wrestle Sault between Garvin and Youngblood is considered by many experts to be the current favorite for 2005 Match of the Year honors. [05] Deacon (fWo) NEW;#5;1Q [06] Emilio Rage (PRIME) NEW;#6;1Q [07] Kenjiro Ito (Jolt) NEW;#7;1Q [08] ”Superstar” Vince Jacobs (ACW & fWo) -3(5);#5,2Q [09] Munson (Core) NEW;#9;1Q [10] Killean Sirrajin (PRIME) NEW;#10;1Q [11] Lindsay Troy (fWo & EPW) NEW;#11;1Q [12] The Flying Frenchie (fWo)-6(6);#6,2Q [13] Rana Venenosa (fWo) EVEN; #13;2Q [14]Alias (ACW) -2(12);#12,2Q [15] Keith Scott Zimmerman (fWo)-4(11);#11,2Q [16] ”Cocky” Craig Miles (fWo) 4(20);#16,2Q [17] Kelly Flawless (ACW) NEW;#17;1Q [18] Sonny Silver (fWo) -14(4);#4,2Q [19] High Flyer (fWo) -4(15);#15,2Q [20] Latch Key Kid (XUW) NEW;#20;1Q So Close, But Further Then I Could Throw You (The Next 10; in no particular order): Nick Worrell (Core), Khristian Keller (ACW), Alex Creed (fWo), Angello Deville (PRIME), Sars the Clown (ACW), “XXXstasy” Sean Stevens (fWo), Andy Sharp (ACW), Lowell Dot Com (ACW), Hoyt Williams (PRIME), Jack Owyns (nbW) So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish (Off the list from last Quarter): Rook Black (1), Joey Melton (2), Jason Hughes (7), Shane Southern (8), Brand Frontier (9), Michael Manson (10), Beast (14), Dave Morey (16), Nick Worrell (17), Quinton May (18), Dan Ryan (19)
The 2004 Mark Awards
Welcome to the first annual Mark Awards!
What can I say, I’ve always been a sucker for the awards show. So much so, that I’m only the second issue in and I’ve already created my own insane brainchild of awards for eWrestling (and admittedly the last is out of character, shhhh). 2004 is behind us, and with the MTV Movie Awards having just aired, award season is ahead of us. Let me settle some points of interest though before you all get that sneak at Ivy’s Ballot in a special edition of The Ivy League. Yes, it’s June, but that makes the moments of 2004 sink in that much easier for all those involved, so shush. Oh, and speaking of all those involved, besides Ivy and I, there where six other backstage, management and superstar affiliated people involved in the voting for eWrestling’s Mark Awards… spread through FW, PTC and the major angle set. Otherwise known as the first get together of the eW Associated Press.
You’ll find out most of the awards through Ivy’s own commentaries plus those big pick-ems of hers, and then be ready to hop, leap and jump into not only the winners of all thirteen awards. Not only will the winners be revealed, but also the top two runners-up (think of ‘em as the silver and bronze bouys of there respective categories), and even most of the vote getters, for most of the awards.
That’s the fun of this world wide ‘web’ of connections that we hold within the business, every place that caught attention this last year, caught a nod. Though without much further-ado, let’s get to the mother of all openers for this awards ceremony of text… Miss Ivy.
… And of course I’m one of those sportswriters.
The Ivy League
Please don't tell me I'm one of those sportswriters now. You know the type – the ones who sit around and talk about the sport that they report on because they're too scared, too talentless, too down and out to do it yourself. Please don't tell me that I'm the same kind of writer who votes for the Hall of Fame candidates, criticizing the athletes for perceived imperfections when you, yourself, don't know what it's like to be in the spotlight.
No, don't tell me that. I'm contributing my voice to this piece because I was told my opinions in this sport still mattered. Besides, years from now when the perspective hits, 2004 will be considered as pivotal a year as 1996 had been. How else could you describe it, seriously? The year began with we in the fWo losing some dear, dear friends... and ended with my brother in arms winning the big one at last. If that's not a year that includes everything, I don't know what is.
But before I continue, I'd like to remember Samuel Smooth, Twitch, John Willis, Temerario, and Neo. Five men we lost at Countdown to Oblivion 2003, a void that I think is still felt in the company. But the human spirit is strong, and the family that Silver Fox, Samuel Smooth, Ted Tallison and Twitch put together have survived just fine... with a little help from Craig Miles, Phil Haggan, and yours truly.
I digress, as I'm wont to do. The good people who sent this to me have put together a list of categories they'd like me (and I would assume, the others that have been asked) to comment on. This is probably from a different point of view than the others - as opposed to a 'real' sport that has a penchant for flare-ups and singular moments, professional wrestling is built on history and perspective. Remember, David Cone pitched a perfect game and then went four and twelve the following year. Professional wrestling, on the other hand, is still being affected today by a promotion called the Universal Wrestling Alliance that has not been an active company in the classic sense for seven or ten years, depending on what 'version' you think matters the most.
That being said...
The Award of All That Is Good And Frickin' Holy - Best Face: 1. Deacon 2. Rana Venenosa 3. Brand Frontier
I couldn't care less who's cheering and who's booing, because in 2004, there was no greater hero than the Deacon, and I've felt the same since I first laid eyes on him in 1998. Deacon is a larger than life entity - I hesitate to call him a mere man - who subscribes to a set of beliefs and morals that demand excellance. Sure, his detractors say that it's only wrestling, or that such a stark white presence has no business being in the industry in the twenty first century, the Era of the Anti - Hero still in full force, but I disagree. There is always room in the world for heroes, no matter what you believe. Deacon appeals to the religious demographic that has gone largely ignored in favor of sex, death, and violence, but there's something else there.
Deacon appeals to everyone. Deacon is the ideal, a glimpse, perhaps, of what we could be if we weren't held back by our faults. Call him names, chant that ridiculous "Faith is Dead" chant at him all you want - I'm not a religious woman, but Deacon makes me believe in myself. Yeah, it's corny. Deal with it.
Of course, Deacon is the unattainable. I pick Deacon as the greatest hero of 2004, possibly the greatest hero in the history of professional wrestling, because of the intangible, unattainable qualities he possesses. I pick Brand Frontier because unlike Deacon, where you only have the abstract idea of what humanity is capable of at its peak, Brand Frontier is a man, with as many flaws as any of us watching the shows. Yet despite his flaws and his shortcomings, Brand Frontier is what very few of us can ever hope to achieve - a man without measure.
But why is Rana Venenosa on my list? He's twenty, he won Survivor, and he chose loyalty over history. In retrospect, he made the best decision he could have when Meltdown went and happened. Rana Venenosa is on my list, I'll admit – due more to future potential than past actions. But just look at the man - he's going to live up to the hype.
You Damn Dirty Bastard! - Best Heel: 1. Eddie Mayfield 2. Craig Miles 3. Stephen Thomas
Entertaining As All Get Out - Best Character: 1. Craig Miles 2. Eddie Mayfield 3. The Phoenix/Mike Randalls
I've combined these two for a reason: the Professionals are the single greatest tag team in the history of the sport. Forget about Splink, forget about Mega Job, forget about Fatal Attraction or WTF~! or Ultra Cool or CS Express or America's Team or NC-17 or the Legion of Dairy or Pretty Fly or the International Workrate Commission or anyone else you're about to throw at me: you're wrong. Craig Miles and Eddie Mayfield, the PROFESSIONALS of the sport of Professional Wrestling, are the undisputed kings. Entertaining? No question. Hated? Take a look at what Craig did to Deacon in early 2004 and what he and the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal did to the fWo in the later months of 2004. Look at the blood he's spilled and the people he's sacrificed and you'll see why Miles belongs where he is. Look at NFW Crashmas 2004, and you'll see why Mayfield belongs where he is. Yeah, it was that powerful - one night in December made Mayfield, in my opinion, the most hated man in the industry. Anyone who disagrees, I think, only does so because they don't know what they're talking about.
Stephen Thomas? The Co-Founder and Sole Owner of the CSWA? The man who stripped 'The Ego Buster' Dan Ryan of the CSWA World Championship for reasoning more complicated and mysterious than the wrestling company named after a soft drink. Not only did Thomas strip a deserving champion, but he handed the belt to an aging (though still competent) Joey Melton, who proceeded to drop it on his first official defense.
Screw you, Tard.
And anyone who knows the story would have to agree with my assessment of "The Phoenix-Turned-Wolf" Mike Randalls. While I still don't completely understand the reasons myself, Randalls felt an overwhelming need to "make amends" for past transgressions, and thought it best to do so as a masked wrestler who refused to fight back. Maybe he was trying to take as much punishment as he's historically given out, or maybe he was trying to understand what it meant to be Mike Randalls' opponent. Or maybe he really is crazy, like everyone accused. Whatever the reason, he finally realized that he couldn't hide behind a mask forever. And maybe I'm biased because of our friendship, but those few weeks, where I first recognized his tattoo, recognized the scars he carries – physical and emotional - and helped him in whatever way reach the decision to unmask... were the most enjoyable few weeks as a pure fan of his career than anything else I'd seen in 2004.
Maaad In-Ring Skills - Best Wrestler: 1. Shane Southern 2. Deacon 3. The Phoenix/Mike Randalls
Sticking with Randalls, realize that he's been wrestling that same style for twelve years now. He's been bleeding against Tsunami for as many years - and as frequently - as he's been taking it to Deacon in a pure wrestling match for sixty plus minutes at a time. There is nobody anywhere that can outwrestle, outpower, or out-extreme the Wolf, and any who would disagree would be too scared to try.
Big men in wrestling have always been a blessing and a curse, but the seven foot tall Deacon does not wrestle like a man his size. If Faith is the Evidence, Deacon's faith lies in his full frontal; never half-assed assault. How many other men do you know who are seven feet tall, three hundred plus pounds, and is as comfortable on the mat as he is on the top rope, as he is on the floor, as his with a microphone in his hand? And he never, ever used a foreign object? And his match in the spring of 2003 against Eli Flair, where they switched 'character' for the night showed off this capable wrestler's sense of humor, to boot. There is no such thing, in my opinion, as a bad Deacon match.
However, I would have to give the year, as far as the overall best wrestler is concerned, to Shane Southern. The party ain't over yet for this kid and the momentum he's built. As I write this, Shane Southern is the CSWA World Heavyweight Champion, and is set to wrestle Michael Manson for the ULTRATITLE championship at NFW Wrestlebowl. Through the turmoil of NFW in the past year plus, Southern has managed - despite a few personality conflicts - to keep his focus on the wrestling aspect of the competition as opposed to the various political undercurrent that started with All Star Week and continued up to, including, and straight on through Crashmas.
Can Southern keep his streak alive in the NFW? I think he will.
If I Could, I'd Kill You. Seriously. - Feud of the Year: 1. Deacon vs. Craig Miles 2. Jon Crisp vs. Black Quicksilver 3. Deacon vs. Eli Flair
From Lost and Found to Cyberslam and the Cage Drop heard 'round the world, from Extreme Faith to a broken friendship, from tag team glory to singular accomplishment, the three feuds that I think were the most significant of 2004 all had one thing in common: the two men involved were former Tag Team Partners. I chose Lost and Found over the other two because of how different Miles and Deacon are. I chose them over WTF~! because of the way in which Miles played Deacon like a violin. WTF~! and their breakdown was a natural evolution of their singles ambitions. I chose them over Extreme Faith because while Extreme Faith's problems arose from a natural breakdown of two friends with very different points of view on the role of the hero, Craig Miles was using Deacon for reasons that I still don't understand. The complexities to their feud had complexities unto themselves. And the scene at Cyberslam, more poignant than any other I've seen this year, deserves to be remembered for all time.
Finally... the next legend... and the legend nobody saw finally wants to be noticed. I don't think you can truly understand how Jon Crisp felt about his role in the company unless you've lived it: being told time and time again that you're the future, that you've got a big part to play in the evolution of the next generation... but it keeps getting shoved back and aborted. I don't think you can understand how Black Quicksilver felt: being the most consistent member of the roster since the promotion opened but never being looked at as anyone significant. It was a logical step for Crisp and Quicksilver to team up to begin with, both men were far more talented than they were given due for and justifiably frustrated over their lack of progress in the fWo hierarchy. It came to nobody's surprise in the fWo lockerroom when WTF~! won the World Tag Team championship, it came to nobody's surprise that Crisp won the Wrestler of the Year, and it came to nobody's surprise that Cyberslam was building to the two mens' showdown.
Much like what Eli Flair and myself do, say, and believe - Crisp and BQ showed a true definition of work hard and you will succeed. And they never worked any harder than they did to try and top each other.
Holy SHIT! - Biggest Moment: 1. Black Quicksilver wins the fWo World Title 2. Eli Flair wins the fWo World Title 3. (tie) The Phoenix unmasks, revealed as The Wolf/ El Toro unmasks, revealed as Craig Miles
Despite how hard he worked, and how much he deserved it, Black Quicksilver was the ultimate underdog headed into Cyberslam against Crisp. He was smaller. He was lighter. He was wearing a mask. When's the last time a masked wrestler outside Mexico won a World Championship? Never mind the interference near the end, did anyone truly expect Black Quicksilver to pin the people he pinned in the Body Count match? Did anyone expect him to survive every single one of those tests he put himself through between the two events? Black Quicksilver earned the title in every way that a man can earn it, and nobody realized it until it had already happened.
Of course, that's not always the case. Eli Flair was a large, muscled brick shithouse with a look that appealed to the freak contingent and a work ethic that rivaled the most ardent puro freak. But it was the freak contingent that both raised him to the peak of popularity and integrity, and made the powers that be afraid of putting any kind of long term push behind him. This is a case where being good in the ring, good on the stick, well - liked by the boys, and well - liked by the fans doesn't necessarily translate into a push for the belt. It's a reality that Eli and I both lived with and accepted as gospel truth for years, and it never bothered him. It bothered me, just enough to jump at the chance to put him against Crisp at Twilight when it was offered up. I agreed with Eli's assessment, that he didn't need a big gold belt to validate the impact he's had on the sport, but I can't think of anything that makes it more real.
Of course, the masked men of 2004 also had a surprising impact. I spoke several paragraphs up about Mike Randalls under the guise of the Phoenix, and the shock of the moment. Remember, I was there when Randalls upset the world and won the EN Title. I was there when Randalls put the stake in GUNS' knee, I was there when Adler had the gun to his head. To see the man who terrorized the sport with second - to - none brutality and straight up ability... being there in a new company taking all the abuse he could possibly find was a surprise at the least and a shock at the most. Much like El Toro in the NFW, I respected the hell out of Craig Miles when he put together the paperwork after NFW's All Star Week that put him out of the promotion; even moreso when you take his ability to speak legalese and he asked me to help him with it and witness the documents. I admit, I didn't know who was under the El Toro mask this time until Crashmas came to be; I just heard rumors about an old UWA associate and the collected stories since.
I won't get into the Legend of El Toro for the newcomers to the name, as there's too much ground to cover, but the moment he spoke, the moment I realized who it was... it all made sense.
The Moment Was Like A Moving Picture - Best Segment: 1. The Mass Beatdown of Craig Miles - NFW Crashmas 2. The Poison Ivy Protest - fWo Monday Night Ruahh~!! 2/9/2004 3. "The Priory: Writing On the Wall" - from fWo Body Count 2004
I don't know what was more surprising - the fact that Craig Miles was beaten down the way he was at Crashmas, or the fact that he appeared to be expecting it. But it was one of those moments - I hesitate to call it 'great' - but you could just tell something was going to happen after the fact. Will it? Who knows. But the very fact that Mayfield, Windham, and Prosser all did what they did and said what they said... and the potential repurcussions of those actions are enough for me to consider it the biggest non - wrestling moment of 2004.
Oddly enough, another of what I would consider in the top three moments of the year also included Craig Miles - this time at Meltdown, when he was on the cusp of forming the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal. He, or some of his cohorts, had just beaten down Brand Frontier following Brandon's elimination from the World Title match, and he had written the verses on the wall. I consider this a more significant moment than the official coming out party for the Soldiers, because once they were there, they had names and faces and motivation that could be battled.
A pool of blood and writing on the wall, although I knew who it was from... put everyone on edge.
And for once, I'm going to be selfish and self - serving, pointing out the significance of the Poison Ivy Protest back in February of 2004, after Disney turfed me out. This was significant for several reasons. First of all, look at me and what I do. I never assume that I've made friends in this business, because up to that point, my fWo stint of the moment had involved dealing with the creative direction of other people. Which would eventually deal with how much those people would get paid. Not just that, but ten years of general bitchery and uncompromising ambition to succeed had really taken its toll. Not only that, but professional wrestlers doing something contrary to the best interest of the promoter, doing something contrary to specific instructions against the point historically equalled firing and blacklisting. Neither of those happened, and it was the actions of yet another professional wrestler that allowed me to sneak back in through the out door and come back to the company. It said to me, "Guess what? Not only does Poison Ivy matter to this company, but Ivy McGinnis matters to us." Maybe I'm overblowing the perceived importance of the moment because of my personal attachment to it, but I was asked for my opinions on the matter.
****** - Best Match: 1. Deacon vs. Craig Miles - fWo Cyberslam VII 2. Deacon vs. Eli Flair - fWo Unleashed 5.28.04 3. Duel vs. The Phoenix - tSC Dawning
Can't... Sit.... Down - Best Show (TV/PPV); Single Show: 1. NFW CRASHMAS 2004 2. fWo Cyberslam VII 3. tSC Dawning
I'm not even going to bother elaborating on these choices - they're not as subjective as the others. You all who are reading this have the means to check it out for yourself. What I look for in a memorable match, or in a memorable single show are immediate entertainment, historical perspective, and knowledge of the people involved. What I look for in this business are men and women who are willing to bust their asses to give the fans their moneys' worth. What I look for in this business are people who don't complain about the time, effort, lack of food or sleep that something worth doing will take. A wrestler in Texas, who has to make a match in New York in two days, when flying is not an option, is given the perfect opportunity to show what he's made of. The wrestler worth seeing will bust their ass to get there; the wrestler not worth seeing will go home. Last summer, Eli Flair and I were in a fairly severe car accident and missed a show for the fWo, but we spent two and a half days walking thru the desert to make it to a town, and did everything we could to even make it to the show. And from what I've seen in the past few years, we're a dying breed.
Don't get me wrong - there are plenty of athletes who feel the same way as I do, and we're keeping the sport alive.
All in all, 2004 was - as I said at the beginning of this column - a year that will undoubtedly be one of the more historically significant once we gain more perspective on it. Craig Miles truly came into his own as a singular personality and not just as part of a team in 2004. Dan Ryan and Shane Southern took their local fame and parlayed it into something on the cusp of worldwide recognition.
World, meet Rana Venenosa.
More to the point, the year 2004 was one that saw established veterans and hungry rookies alike do their best to entertain. There were no overbearing veterans with their balding old heads who got the maximum exposure for the minimum of effort. There were no rookies with a ton of promise getting swelled egos before they had any real right to one.
You want the real story? The real scoop on the world of Professional Wrestling 2004?
I'm proud of all of us. And I know that the business will be in good hands when the kids come around.
This is Ivy too.
As you can tell, Ivy takes the unspoken responsibility of being the consummate professional within this good ol’ Awards situation. So I thank her for that, and I’m happy that I don’t have to be at all classy or lyrical with this thing anymore. The quota is full! Though, of course, this doesn’t mean I’ll go completely insane and go Zimmerman, so let’s just say I’ll be looking for a happy medium. Minimalistic, if you will! Enough about me and my awkward segway between Ivy and the Awards presentation though, let us HIT the ground running, wiiiith…
Best Face - The Award of all that is Good and Frickin’ Holy
Four different people ended up garnering a first place vote in this category, actually. From Saij and Shane Southern, to our first runner-up in the category and eventual winner. Others who received votes where tSC’s Rook Black and Quinton May, UWF’s Latch Key Kid and Tsunami Oni and the fWo’s Rana Venenosa and Eli Flair. The fWo’s Brand Frontier was the only non-runner-up to gain multiple votes, with two third place votes. One of those, as seen, coming from Poison Ivy. When all was said and done though, the eventual winner of this award pulled away from the two-runner ups by five and eleven points, respectively.
With 8 points, the second runner-up is the Squared Circle’s Coral Avalon
With 14 points, the first runner-up is the Squared Circle’s and All-Star Championship Wrestling’s Alias
The Best Face of 2004, as voted by eWAP, and winner of the first Mark Award IS… with 19 points… Deacon
Best Heel - The Damn Dirty Bastard! Award
Voting for the Best Heel proved to be a lot more distinctive then in the Best Face category. Not to mention, we garnered our first tie. Eight different people garnered only ONE second or third place vote, including Kodiak Vic Creed and Death of the fWo, Joey Melton and Stephen Thomas of CSWA, KSZ of tSC and Magnum Wolf, Ignatius Lisieux and Angello Deville within the PTC community. Only five points was the difference between the winners and the second runner-up.
With 12 points, the second runner-up is the fans Wrestling Organization’s and All-Star Championship Wrestling’s ”Superstar” Vince Jacobs
With 15 points, the first runner-up is New Frontier Wrestling’s Eddy Mayfield
The winner of the Mark Award for Best Heel of 2004, as voted by eWAP IS… actually yeah, the first and only tie of this kind, this year. Suffice to say though, that they still proved to be Damn Dirty Bastards when the time arose. One with himself in mind, and you could say, the other with everyone else in mind. With 17 points… Sonny Silver and ”Cocky” Craig Miles
Best Feud - If I Could, I’d Kill You. For Serious.
With 8 points, the second-up the feud that rocked New Frontier Wrestling and the ULTRAtitle in the process, Shane Southern vs Michael Manson
With 8 points also, though given the edge thanks to the first place vote they received, the two first runners-up (that’s right, another tie!) are the fan’s Wrestling organization’s biggest blow-out, culminating at Cyberslam VII, Deacon vs “Cocky” Craig Miles and the ever present but seemingly never ending grudge within All-Star Championship Wrestling, Alias vs “Superstar” Vince Jacobs
The Best Feud of 2004, as voted by eWAP, and overall bad memory for all involved, except for those involved with the moneys, and good memory for all those watching… with 9 points… the feud that seemingly shaped what was the Squared Circle Sonny Silver vs Alias
Though we might as well give the award to Mark Shields, as well. You know what I mean!
Biggest Moment - Holy SHIT! Award
When it came to the big moments that rocked ’04, suffice to say that they where very much ever present. Only once was the naming of a big moment repeated on multiple ballots… and THAT moment, my friends, was the winner of the Biggest Moment in 2004. Still, before that’s gotten to, there’s still the recognition of all the moments that could be seen as runners-up, but without a doubt where all equally insane, if not entirely memorable in there own way. Whether it was a return of a superstar like Eddy Love, Timmy Windham or Silver Fox (but *gasp* Fox is the Chameleon). Or the return of a superstar… who had been there all along. Whether it was the Phoenix unmasking, revealing himself to be Mike Randalls or El Toro unmasking and revealing himself to be Craig Miles.
A momentous surprise that came out of left field and CHANGED FEDS like Miles returning to the fWo post-Cyberslam VII and declaring war, and to the larger part of that, the formation of the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal. Villam Ender nearly killing Joe Campbell after Asylum’s D-Day. Big moments both material and outside the scope of storylines, whether it be Sonny Silver screwing his way to tSC gold at Clash… or the owner of the Squared Circle, Harvard Avalon, being diagnosed and then soon after dieing of cancer (for more on this, please check the ‘In Memory Of…’ feature).
The biggest spots of the year, the Altar Call heard around the world, off the top of the platform at the end of the Craig Miles and Deacon match at Cyberslam VII.
Victories of storied titles or storied feats with titles, that immerged to recognize some of the best in the business… whether it involved Black Quicksilver or Eli Flair winning the fWo World Title or Alias holding both the ACW and tSC Championships, at one moment, winning both on the same weekend. However, some storied feats did not even involve titles, in creating there wide scope… like Violence Jack winning the King of the Indies, defeating Karina Wolfenden, Jeff Garvin, Coral Avalon and then tSC Champ Sonny Silver in the process, or Ian English winning the first Dual Halo match in PRIME.
It is on that vein of thought that the Biggest Moment of ’04, the HOLY SHIT! Award if you will, to an incredibly impressive feet and the man responsible for it. The winner of an impressively sized and impressively stocked event.
The Biggest Moment of 2004, as voted by eWAP, and winner of the first Mark Award IS… Doctor Curiosity winning GTT4
Match of the Year - ****** Style
The greatest thing about wrestling, in itself, is that every week gives the same potential for a match of the year candidate. Some weeks even more potential, adding in the right factors. All you need is two people, atleast, and a single place. No matter the place, and some would say no matter the people. However, honestly, five-star potential comes to some a lot easier then to others. For the match of the year nominations, any variety of a royal rumble clusterfuck wasn’t allowed in the candidates… just because it’s obvious that with enough time, the right number of people, and the right gimmick match, something can be created that is unequaled when it comes to any other competition of that year. It’s still not a match though, it’s more of a constructive mess with your inevitable big moment ending (as long as all the right things are there ;)).
Three different matches where inevitably ranked first place, the one with the most first place votes inevitably running away with the win, and another fist-placer not even placing in a runner-up spot. The latter being Alias vs. KSZ at tSC’s Dawning PPV, the match that crowned the first tSC Champ. Speaking of Alias, he was also in the most matches voted in as possible MOTY’s, three of the top nine. Another of his matches, not becoming a runner-up or an evitable winner, was the Vince Jacobs vs. Alias match at King of Ages ’04, where SVJ won the ACW World Championship for the first time. Keeping the three theme, the Squared Circle put forward the most noted nominations for a fed, with three. Other matches of note where Mark Windham vs. Eli Flair in an “I Quit” match at CSWA17, Joey Melton vs. Shane Southern for the CSWA World Title on the 500th edition of Primetime, Deacon vs. Eli Flair at the May 28th Unleashed and Chris Messiah vs. Phil Atken double retirement match at ACW’s Glory PPV.
With 8 points, the second runner-up took place at the Squared Circle’s Unprovoked PPV, also standing as the introduction of the Evolutionary Title, the Expect the Unexpected Match – Keith Scott Zimmerman vs. Russa vs. the School Girl
With 10 points, the first runner-up took place at the Squared Circle’s Clash PPV, a tSC Championship match Alias vs. Sonny Silver
The winner of the 2004 Mark Award for Match of the Year, as voted by eWAP, IS… with 15 points, the Internet Championship match at Cyberslam VII and sooo much more… Deacon vs. Craig Miles
Show Of The Year - Can’t… Sit… Down Award
And now… taking it that extra notch, from a classic and unforgettable match, to the monumental unforgettable show.
All those recognized either received a first place vote (six of those in total, only one of those receiving anything other then the first place vote) or enough second place votes to set itself to set itself apart as they only runner-up in this category, seeing as the next step was the five way tie for second runner-up. I say nuts to that! A little recognition though, for the moments epic enough to be worthy enough as three hours of recognized work.
Two New Frontier Wrestling shows, or events as they where, garnered first place votes… both the NFW All-Star Week and NFW CRASHMAS 2004. No doubt in part, because of the shocking climax of the show, the Asylum’s D-Day also received a first place vote. The two other first place vote getters where in part, what this writer believes was the show of the year, in tSC Clash and joint show of the year RPW & tSC present King of the Indies (who’s follow-up, as an homage to Harvard Avalon, is rumored to be in the works… something to keep an eye on).
With 8 points, the runner-up for the Mark’s first Show of the Year was on of the most readily recognizable premiere events in the business, fWo Cyberslam VII
The winner of the 2004 Mark Award for Show of the Year, as voted by eWAP, IS… with 15 points, the ‘to good to be true’ darling fed of the year’s debut PPV tSC Dawning
Best Weekly Show - Evidently, Nielsen Is There Bitch
With mass media, the millions of channels available, it is almost as if there’s a wrestling show on every day of the week. Even if they aren’t all national shows, you can usually find them somewhere on satellite, or even on there own channels, set up by there own set of financial backers. STILL money isn’t what we’re talking about now, it’s the weekly show. The program you tune in each and every week for. Buying the back tapes, or the highlights packages on DVD and, of course, *cough* downloading material and matches off of internet about stuff seen on these shows. Shows like NFW’s Crash TV or NEW’s Raucous, with names the settle any notion about what you’re about to witness. As a name like RPW’s Adrenaline would attest to.
With 11 points, the second runner-up is All-Star Championship Wrestling’s Courage
With 19 points, the first runner-up is the Squared Circle’s Tuesday Night Wrestling
The winner of the Mark Award for Best Weekly of 2004, as voted by eWAP IS… with 24 points, the most points so far… fans Wrestling organization’s Monday Night RUAHH~ !
Wrestler of the Year - Maaaad In-Ring Skills Award
And now, the first of the Final Three awards. THIS is the one that recognizes those with the sweet science. Not unlike great boxers, great wrestlers don’t just prove themselves with what they win in the ring, but how exactly they go along doing so. It’s the story they tell with there brains and there brawn, as quick and brutal as it may be sometimes. This point is evidently brought across, with the likes of such vote getters as the King of Submissions Max Danger, the King of the Indies Violence Jack, and the King of All Shapes and Sizes of Rotten Bastards Sonny Silver. Great in-ring skills aren’t hindered by ones mouth, like Craig Miles, ones cuuurious techniques, like Doctor Curiosity or ones SIZE like in the case of Eli Flair or Deacon… in-ring skills can be enhanced and made ever more dangerous with additional weapons. Michael Manson can be called a great wrestler after his championship season in NFW and Mike Randalls can be called a great wrestler, with what could only be described as is still unfinished epic journey, or questionable losses, self-inflicted martyr-dom and a little bit of big game chasing splashed in there.
With 8 points, the second runner-up is actually a tie between two short yet soon to become dominant forces, thanks to there tenacity… the Squared Circle’s Keith Scott Zimmerman and All-Star Championship Wrestling’s and XUW’s Seymour Almasy
With 13 points, the first runner-up is New Frontier Wrestling’s and CSWA’s Shane Southern
The winner of the Mark Award for Best Wrestler of 2004, as voted by eWAP IS… with 15 points… the Squared Circle’s and All-Star Championship Wrestling’s (yes, he even spent some time in the fWo), Alias
Character of the Year - Entertaining As All Get Out~! Award
The second of the Final Three recognizes not so much those with the mastery of the sweet science, but more those who excel within the sports entertainment, big draw on the mic and in the book, side of things. The living, breathing creatures that just grab you and make it so you almost NEED to keep watching because these are the men and woman that draw you in. Whether it be management like Webster Jr. or the incomparable Poison Ivy or inexplicable talent like Ian English, Roderick Mc Patrick. Mouth pieces like Sonny Silver and Keith Scott Zimmerman, enigmas like Fallen and Angelo Deville. Some guy named… John Smith (he’s said to have something to do with fWo. All of it.) or The Phoenix, I mean Mike Randalls.
The best of characters can display balls to the wall attitude like Felix Red, insanely Curious Time Machines like Doctor Curiosity or just flat out insanity mixed with dazzling moments of comprehension and immortality like High Flyer. All three of the last three gaining first place votes.
With 6 points, the second runner-up is the most recently named Wrestler of the Year 2004, the Squared Circle’s and All-Star Championship Wrestling’s Alias
With 19 points, the first runner-up is New Frontier Wrestling’s and CSWA’s Eddie Mayfield
The winner of the Mark Award for Best Character of 2004, as voted by eWAP IS… with 19 points, the largest margin of the evening… the other half of the infamous Professionals, co-owner of New Frontier Wrestling and superstar in the fans Wrestling organization, ”Cocky” Craig Miles
Top Federation of 2004
And now it’s time for the big money award. Where every that has gone into every award of this column, is smashed into it’s own single entity, whether it be management, backstage personalities, readily available excitement or a slew of grand shows and epic encounters. This is the award that needs no sub-title, Top Fed, end all to be proud of, the big tomato, the over-sized fruit that you think is a vegetable… any other large and intensely meaningful sounding clichéd lines. It represents not only all that has happened within a single fed during 2004, but also all those who have passed through its doors and made it the recognizable household name that it is, for smarks and fanboys alike (even though it’s an award that’ll be on the owners mantel, ahem). This years top fed award eventually panned out into something of an upset win, to me, which was both exciting to see unfold… and disheartening due to the circumstances.
Those who have received votes are the yardstick of sophomore slumping feds, the 17-year-old CSWA and, garnering a first place vote (the only other first place vote not to go to our first runner-up and eventual winner), a federation unlike any other in New Frontier Wrestling. Multiple vote getters included the now defunct Rush Pro Wrestling, who had a stellar year in ’04, and the always entertaining and never unexciting (well, except for that ONE time…) Xtreme Ultimo Wrestling.
With 8 points, the second runner-up battled against financial problems to come back during ’04, establishing itself as, if not a national threat, then an incredibly strong indy favorite once again, the comeback story of the year All-Star Championship Wrestling
With 15 points, the first runner-up might be the fed that some view as the pinnacle, but who obviously had some strong and stringent competition in the minds of our voters, this fed is now heading into its eighth year as strong as ever. Even in the face of the tragedy earlier in ’04, something that Ivy has already touched on so well, this place proved it could still truly be the force it proved to be by the last Countdown series of shows to cap off the year… the fans Wrestling organization
Winning the award for the Mark’s Top Federation of 2004, as voted by eWAP IS… with 22 points… the Squared Circle.
I couldn’t think of a better way to end the first annual Mark Awards, huzzah, with the little niche-fed that could showing the true power of showcasing wrestling in it’s purest form, and letting the power of first-time entertainers and workrate machines at the top of there game, be known. It was a federation, for the year of 2004 that it thrived and survived in, that created and continue to uplift the next ‘generation’ of box office names, on the philosophy of rules and regulations not seen in wrestling since. With championships and champions not entirely expected and never forgotten. The Squared Circles had names like Alias, Coral Avalon, Max Danger, Rook Black, Keith Scott Zimmerman and Mike Randalls… but gave names like Sonny Silver, Brandon Youngblood, Longshot and Dave Morey to the WORLD as alumni of the school of the Squared Circle. The dream of one man, given to the world.
And as it’s said, it’s a dream that will not die.
http://circle.incomprehensibility.com/Russ/TheMARKtitlebartemplate.jpg > w/ ex-Global Champion and Best of Seven Winner Karina Wolfenden of PRIME This interview is pre-dated “yesterday” and no nothing else in this column is outdated, this is just up to date (for May). The last piece. Natch.
Russel David: Some people might call you one of the premiere female wrestlers, in the business today. If not at the top of that list. How much weight do you play into a statement like that, especially in something as testosterone driven as professional wrestling?
Karina Wolfenden: I wasn’t even aware some people called me a wrestler. Anyway, I can’t say I really care too much about the whole female ranking thing… being considered better than Tempest, Lindsay or Aimz doesn’t really figure into my head much when I’m trying to kick through a 7 foot guy’s defenses. Wrestling doesn’t really play a big enough role in my life to get competitive about those things.
RD: Competitiveness is a good thing to bring up, actually. Because, aside from the personal lists of anyone, you've been able to gather a number of concrete titles and awards to your name. You've accomplished A LOT at your age, meaning you've had to do all of it in a considerably short span of time. What else do you want to accomplish in 2005?
K-Wolf: I don't really set that many aims, since I tend to just deal with things as they pop up... keeps me on my toes more. But if I had to aim for some things, I'd take a few more wins over Aimz, and to try and keep my PRIME hot-streak going. RD: What if you did have that ability to know what things had to be dealt with before they popped up? I mean, let's say that you've got all the power in the universe, what do you do with it?
K-Wolf: Geez, I forgot to feed my cats yesterday morning, can't even look after potplants, and left the windows open when I took I 5 day trip to Europe a couple of weeks ago... and you want to trust me with the Universe?
RD: Hey yeah, sure. That's why it's a 'what if' question. I mean, of course no one would be crazy enough to give you actual control. But, what if you've got all the power in the universe?
K-Wolf: I'd banish everyone else from my apartment block so I didn't have to listen to their screaming kids of awful music. Then I’d ban anyone from doing anything noisy before midday, so I don't get woken up. And... eh, what the hell, I could do with the power of flight. Would save me a tonne in plane tickets, and hurt a lot less when I crash land. RD: Plus who doesn't want to just fly around, every once in a while. So where exactly do you get the nickname 'Negasonic Lupine'? It sounds like it mixes in the flight side of you with the wolf side of you, but did anyone in specific end up giving it to you or did it come from a certain moment?
K-Wolf: Most of the names that require effort or imagination come from someone else. Negasonic Lupine Warhead was from some 'net review of an RPW show... they'd already used Megasonic, so had to add an extra letter. The K-Wolf name pretty much came around the same way, the C4 was named by Justin Williamson, the Dual Halo was coined by some fans when I did a 720 a few weeks after winning the event. I usually just call the moves what they look like, or come up with some weird emo name I end up hating. RD: [laughter] Alright, nice. Ten count, word association, time. First up. Gideon Poe.
K-Wolf: Miss him since he took his band on the road. RD: Magnum Wolf.
K-Wolf: Pass. RD: Killean Sirrajin.
K-Wolf: Shrugged off all I threw at him.
RD: PRIME’s Universal Title.
K-Wolf: Heavier than it looks... RD: PTC’s Global Title.
K-Wolf: Means less to me than the above. RD: PRIME.
K-Wolf: Home... without the bills. RD: Dual Halo.
K-Wolf: A grown-up’s house of fun. RD: Lindsay Troy.
K-Wolf: Heard good things about her. RD: Aimz.
K-Wolf: Eye-pokingly, nerve gratingly annoying. RD: Your legacy.
K-Wolf: For people to worry about way after I'm gone. RD: Do you remember the moment that made you think ‘Hey, I want to be a professional wrestler.’?
K-Wolf: I'd always been competitive, and could pretty much handle myself. One night I was stuck waiting for a friend to shower at the gym he was training in, was bored, so hopped into the ring when nobody was looking. Made myself at home there, learned the ropes... so to speak, hit a few flips off the top, the owner saw, and asked me to come back the next week. He never really bothered teaching me the basics, since they pretty much bored me, so just set the bar higher for the leapy flippy stuff. Things kinda went, well, wayyy quick from there. One night I was doing walk-through routines on the Pro Wrestling Circuit, next thing I know, Old School Wrestling give me a call and want me to be on national TV.
RD: So almost, literally, over night. Woah. I mean, you've obviously got natural ability, but how much of the those early days, from making yourself at home inside a ring, to the semi-training, to the PW circuit to a national level would you chock up to straight-out luck and being in the right place at the right time?
K-Wolf: Oh, everything that got me on the circuit to begin with was pretty much down to luck. From how I was first spotted, to getting the last place on the Circuit after 2 or 3 dropped out. After I got started, I was pretty much doing it for my own entertainment, and that managed to catch a few eyes, then was heard about in a few ears, and it kinda went mad from there. RD: And the rest is history, yeah. Though now for something completely different. Favorite snack at 2 o’clock?
K-Wolf: Has to be Ice Cream, if there isn't any Pizza left around.
RD: Okay, now for something new, that came with added bonus of putting out a second issue… a few questions from the readers of the column, to yourself. So with that said, you’ve been warned. I’ll call it the “Best of Five”, because I’ve picked my five favorite questions. The first of five questions is from Randy Shapiro. Dear Karina, on a scale of 1 -10 (10 being close to death on a daily basis), how much did it pain you to know that your Golden Touch tag team partner in RPW, Gideon Poe, constantly had better hair than you?
K-Wolf: 5. He used to steal my conditioner, so I can take some of the credit for his hair. RD: Now that’s a true team. [laughter] The next group of concurrent questions comes from Gloria Burnbaum of the Daily Jibber-Jabber. Are you comfortable with the level of fame you've achieved? And, as a follow up, with your constantly changing image, do you worry that the young, impressionable girls that look up to you as sort of a role model will do the same, thinking this is something they need to do to survive in a male dominated field?
K-Wolf: I can't say fame has really hit me yet. Out of costume, I can pretty much go about my business without being noticed. Change hair colours, and people couldn't spot me. As for the second bit? I think anyone looking for rolemodels in wrestling needs a head-check. Image wise? Well, it's only colours that change, I'm still me. If someone wants to dye their hair every week, and get a new image every month, go them... as long as they remain themselves under it. Pink hair, blue hair, streaked hair, no hair... I'm still Karina Wolfenden.
RD: You mean you wouldn't want anyone to follow the lead of, say, Angello Deville? Wait right, the artist formally know as HIT, bad example.
K-Wolf: I try my hardest to stop him from following his own example.
RD: Aaaand now for the first celebrity question, from Seymour Almasy of all people.
K-Wolf: Oh, joy. RD: Miss Wolfenden, why do you feel the need to have more finishers than me?
K-Wolf: Umm... because I win more matches than you? RD: Ouch. I'd bring up the Cruiserweight Tournament, but I'll let the Squaresoft fellow do that whenever there is a next time. Ahem. Wait, how did he [crackle, the phone connection switches over for a moment]
Sonny Silver: Die, you spotfest bitch. You're a blight on professional wrestling and you're one neon cum face wash away from being PRIME's version of Jeff Hardy. KTHNXDI! Answer S. Silver! The GOOD S. Silver. Of the Sonny variety. Steven's a homo. [crackle]
RD: Um, so yeah. Was that even a question?
K-Wolf: Steven has a brother? What does he do?
RD: Sounds like he's made "angry" a viable profession, evidently. LAST Best-of-Five question. Speedy the, uh, paraplegic turtle asks "Karina, you once showed up on fWo's Monday Night Ruahh~! in a match against Aimz. Ever think of showing your face there again and if so, what people there would you like to compete against? Also, what other promotions are you interested in working in?"
K-Wolf: Well, my PRIME contract leaves me open for any bookings that don't interfere with TV or promotional appearances, but right now I'm cutting back on them a fair bit. One wrestling booking a week is working pretty well for me right now, with just the odd extra date added. Too much other stuff I need to fit in.
RD: You’ve gained the reputation of being quite the daredevil, live by the seat of your pants, kind of girl. Life isn’t always agreeable with people that take so many chances, some times. Is there anything in this last twenty-three years that you would do differently if you had the opportunity?
K-Wolf: If it's important enough to me to want to change it, change what I am, then it's not something I'll be commenting on in a wrestling column.
RD: Hey, understood completely. Though even with that said, thanks alot for your time today. It's been both fun and informative at times. Both wheren't surprising, actually, because I admittedly didn't know as much about you as I could have, coming into today... so I welcomed the chance. Any last words?
K-Wolf: I got my phone bill today... so buy my merchandise.

The Ivy League: Teri F'king Melton``xhexedangel``xTen years ago, I showed up in the CSWA for the first time, in the professional wrestling business itself, for the first time. I was a twenty year old college student with a chip on my shoulder and a big wooden stick in my hand. First and foremost, I was there to make sure my sister's husband was okay, but beyond that, I had a job to do. Beyond that, I had a job to learn. What I knew about the wrestling business could fit inside a shotglass, and much as I loved Coop, he didn't prepare me very well. Eli was one thing - he was a talented wrestler but he was also six foot nine, and it would be difficult to really mess with him. Plus, he didn't care. Coop's gym was run like a family, and he didn't prepare either of us for just how bloodless and cold the real sport was.
Fortunately, I'm as stubborn as Daddy was on his worst days. My mother said I was the worst of the three McGinnis children when it came to arguments, because I would never let go, not even when I was wrong. It's a good thing Daddy and I never really got into it, because it would still be going on today.
But I digress. With no real model of what I was supposed to do, I had to improvise. Ray S. Cornette was invaluble to me that first year. I knew it was uncharted territory, I knew the history of women in the CSWA. I knew the epic tale of Hortense and the LOVE sisters. I knew the tragedy of Melba Parsons. And I knew the story of a young woman named Miss Hooters. So where did I fit in this madcap landscape? I was too athletic to be the type of woman that Hortense was. I didn't have a fish face or a slack jaw. I wasn't from the backwoods of Parsonsburg. There were no muppets or Midgets in my family tree. That wing of the CSWA Woman wouldn't fit.
Exit out all the FISH FUND poster children, and the only other woman that remained in the CSWA was Miss Hooters. To her credit, she's a beautiful woman, with or without the silicon upgrades. But her style just left a bad taste in my mouth, no pun intended. I first saw her in a tuxedo match against President Poop and stripped most of her own clothes off to win. I watched this display in the locker rooms and the boys were all going crazy, but I didn't. I couldn't. Teri's actions that night told me that she considered her body to be her most valuble asset, that nothing physical or sexual, in public or private, was beneath her to get what she wanted. I was more right than I knew at the time, but that's neither here nor there. The only thing I knew, at the time, was that I couldn't do it. Momma and Poppa McGinnis raised us a bit better than that. The summer before, I practically ran the diner solo while they were in Europe on their twenty fifth anniversary. Alicia and Eli were supposed to help but they ran off to go wrestle, so it was just me and Brian and his pregnant wife and their romantic nights off... and days off... and I'm not going to keep this up because I'll call him and bitch him out. The point, amidst my Angelesque rambling, is that I knew how business worked and knew that if I learned a little about professional wrestling, I'd have something to offer beyond a pretty face.
I think we can agree, without a shred of ego, that I learned a hell of a lot, and I contributed more to the sport in the past decade than any other woman, Melons included.
But Teri was Joey's sister, right? Teri had slept with, and therefore had under her thumb, most of the decision makers, right? Right. Her spot was never in jeopardy. She would never have to worry that someday I'd be escorting Steven Flair to the ring. She would never have to worry that someday I'd be facing off with President Poop in a tuxedo match. Even if these things were offered, I had no interest in them. My primary concern was Eli, and he was a full time job.
It seemed that, woman-wise, the CSWA was a head and shoulders above every other promotion in the world. Miss Hooters and Poison Ivy, two attractive women, were the crown jewels. Hooters was the T and A factor, Ivy was the business predator factor. We stayed out of each others' way for the most part, she was involved with main eventers and I was involved with the midcard, the nutcases, and Hornet. It was no real secret that I didn't like her very much, but I also tried to not let it get in the way of the job we had to do. It was a hard fact to learn, that you're not going to like everyone in the locker room, and point of order, you'll grow to hate a few. But we were on the road three hundred days a year including personal appearances, and you had to be able to pass each other in the hallway without killing each other.
Teri didn't seem to think of it that way. Or maybe I did something to upset her that I don't remember. Whatever the reason, we started to tangle just before Anniversary 1996 with some out-of-the-ring confrontations when Eli wrestled someone she was managing. She knocked me down one night, I caned her and popped her implants another. I see you snicker, but go to the videotaped evidence... it's true.
It was around this time that Hornet and I got together and drifted apart, a trend that would continue until three years ago. Remember that, because it's important.
Eli and I left the business in the spring of 1997, supposedly for good at the time. He had what we thought was a career ending knee injury that seemed to correct itself, albeit temporarily, eight months later. While waiting for a diagnosis, I tried my hand at wrestling myself, had one match against the incomparable Holly Volley to win the EFW World Ladies' Championship, but in doing so, screwed my own knee beyond repair.
Unlike Eli's, the seven inch long scar on my right knee means 'You can walk, but you can't wrestle.' And aside from an occasional gimmick deal, I haven't.
When we returned, Teri was still hanging around. She was part of the announce crew, and was an integral part of the last gasp of Ray S. Cornette's CORPORATION. It's hard to argue with the success that PLR brought. I was happy, because she's a very well educated woman and very intelligent, and it seemed like she was finally showing the world that there was more to her than big blonde hair, silicon boobs, and a little tiny nose. I could've been friends with that Teri, given enough time.
On the other hand, my time away from the sport seemed to perpetuate the Legend of the Psycho Bitch. Mock me, but the kids at Coop's during that time kept asking me how they could improve. The CSWA brass kept in touch with me, asking me cursory but in-depth questions about the direction of the product, up to that night in July when everything folded in on itself. And when Eli and I came back in style, the mob of people surrounding us was flattering, to say the least.
I also started to talk to Hornet again, and old feelings came back in spades. He went out after the explosion at Fish Fund Park Arena, the only time in my life I ever wanted to hug Teri - when she was legitimately concerned about Timmy's wellbeing. In the weeks to follow, I think Hornet got visits from half the roster, most of whom wanted to talk about themselves and where they wanted to go. I went in there practically every day I could, and filled him up with gossip. Gave him the rumors that I knew were true. Actually gave a crap about him. And when he told me his heroism was buried under a ton of bricks at Fish Fund Park Arena, so to speak, and he wanted me with him, I said yes. The only thing I regret from that point on was that for the first and only time in our lives, Eli and I were on opposite sides of the fence.
As far as Teri goes during this time, the CORPORATION slowly fell apart as Billy Starr left the company, Joey and Peyton fell into a bit of a slump, Ray's health problems worsened, and Love, Powers, and Radder swallowed their spotlight. They deserved it, but with Sweet Melissa taking the 'pretty face in the corner' role that Teri revolutionized, there was no real need for her as a manager. And with Buckley's revolving door of color commentators, there was no need to have her at the table. I don't know where she was or what she was doing for those few months, but somewhere along the way she slept with Hornet.
Stop right there.
I don't know what kind of relationship they might have had before I came along, and I don't care. Hornet claims that things were always only professional between them until that first night in Greensboro, and he may be lying, but I don't care. You look the way Teri does, and you can have any man you want. You put out the way Teri does, you can have any man you want. Teri didn't love Hornet. She may not have even liked him. All that mattered to her was that she and I never got along, and she saw an opportunity to hurt me.
Newsflash, men: You mean nothing to Teri Melton. You're nothing but an opportunity and a bankroll.
It was back on, but I didn't care. Eli had won the World Championship at Anniversary 1999, and all eyes were on us. I think it's safe to say we rewrote the rules of what a CSWA champion is supposed to do to get cheers. Teri disappeared again following Anniversary, and wouldn't show up again until much later in the year, as the 'American Woman.' She made a lot of noise but very little impact, which was fine by me. I made a sort of professional peace with Hornet, but vowed to keep things on that professional level. It worked until the week before Anniversary 2000.
In retrospect, the ClaimStakers was the wrong thing to do. In retrospect, particularly after the time I spent in the front office of the fWo, I know what it means to run a wrestling promotion and what sacrifices have to be made. And I'm convinced that Merritt (That's right - censor me HERE, Tard) felt the money he paid Hornet was worth the various stresses and situations he found himself dropped into. I'll always be grateful for forming that alliance, not just for kicking Eli and I out of our vicious cycle of mediocrity, not just for bringing Hornet and I back together, but for reintroducing me to Mike Randalls. Mikey is one of the closest friends I've made in this business, up there with Craig, Rudy, Deac, Lindz, Tempest... and Eli. The big regret was punking out Deacon to make our point, and throwing the 'pity party' in the middle of the ring. That sort of thing is best left to closed-door meetings where you don't embarrass yourself or the company.
Somehow, Teri found herself on Troy Windham's arm during this time, and since Troy and Eddy were the two schmucks intent on thwarting the CSers, we clashed... yet again. Kind of. The match was on for about seven seconds when she dropped the bomb.
Pregnant... with Hornet's kid.
Yeah, the dreaded P word, and I don't mean Paul. The ClaimStakers fell apart because I couldn't be around Hornet and Eli wouldn't leave my side. The year culminated with Eli and Troy nearly killing each other, Evan Aho defeating Hornet to retain the belt, and Teri standing there next to Merritt himself, announcing that she wasn't pregnant, she swerved us all so Merritt could get the psychological high ground on the already - splintered ClaimStakers, and she was now a part owner in the company, an Executive Vice President, and therefore technically my boss.
Do you wonder why I started spending less time writing these for the CSWA and more time writing these for the fWo? I didn't like the thought that Teri F'king Melton had a say in what I wrote. She'd already done her best to take my dignity by taking my man, and now she could take away the one thing that meant more to me than anything else next to my family - my voice? I don't think so.
On a personal note, three months after Teri became my boss in the CSWA, Sean and I finally got together after a year and a half of nervous flirting. So it all worked out in the end.
Merritt also gradually removed Teri from any and all active control over anything I deigned to do in the CSWA. I'd like to think it was because he knew why I stopped showing up for work, and he admitted to being impressed with some things in the fWo that he'd traced back to me. Maybe that's why Teri has turned her verbal venom up so high in the past two years. She had the upper hand in the CSWA - she was my boss. She was a high powered executive, a position she no doubt earned on her back, and she had direct control over a loudmouthed worker bee that she already hated. When Silver Fox started to seriously collaborate with me to run the fWo, maybe she saw that I was working my way up with sleepless nights, bad coffee, and egomania. Maybe she felt threatened, at long last, by the fact that any woman worth her salt in this business learned her craft by watching and listening to me. Maybe she knows she's getting older, and she won't be able to get her way with a body that's deteriorating holding onto a pair of big-ass honkin' implants that don't. Maybe she's finally realized that the age of the vapid blonde with little to offer the business but bare skin is long since over and she's looking at an entire generation who can replace her in seconds.
Maybe all of the above, maybe none of the above. The only thing I know for sure is that when I broke Teri's nose in Denver, it was ten years of rage, anger, and frustration coming out. It was techincally the first official blow in the longest sustained feud in recent history in this sport. And if Teri is serious, that she wants a match with me at CSWA17, then this one's for all the marbles.
And you thought I was just a bitch.

EUWC International Title Tournament This Sunday!!!``xKMAJackson``xAfter a long hiatus, the EUWC is back and LIVE on Pay Per View this Sunday with EUWC Superiority II. Although the event is headlined by the World Heavyweight Championship Match with defending Champ Sean Taylor defending against current co-holder of the EUWC World Tag Team Titles Stephen Greer, all eyes are on the 16 man single elimination tournament to crown the new Undisputed EUWC International Champion.
The last Champion; Sean Taylor; won the title on June 11, 2004, has been forced to vacate the title due to his recent EUWC World Title accomplishments. However now the field is wide open now with 16 young and hungry superstars vying for the title belt.
Rocko Daymon, Paul Doom, Evol, Tyrone Walker and "Classy" Mike C are just a few of the incredible names entered into the 16 man free-for-all. One thing is for certain; with a title as prestigious as the EUWC International Title (dating back to 1996) this Sunday's tournament will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time, and surely the winner will be one of the brightest EUWC stars to come along in some time....

Wrestling Midwest parts ways with Primetime Central``xwmw``xCleveland - In what can only be seen as ‘the next step,’ Primetime Central has pulled the plug on it’s business deal with WMW.
PTC Owner Argyle said, “Lets be realistic. [They] clearly don’t want to stay here.” Argyle, who helped WMW in numerous ways in the past said he wanted to save himself from the headaches. “I recommend[ed] a clean break … and run solo. Everybody wins.”
The problems that arose because of the outspokeness of members such as Guy Kinski, Noah Hanson, and Juvian Ramorez, caused more rifts then what was originally expected.
“We aren’t happy with the decision,” said Brad Johnson. “We would have really liked to end the relationship on a more positive note. Argyle has been a good friend to WMW, and it’s disapointing to both of us to see this happen.”
Johnson said that he had been investigating the banning of Kinski when he got the call.
“Last night,” said Johnson, “I had talked to Chris Zenith, hoping that we could put our problems [with GW] behind us. I talked to members of PTC, hoping that we could fix that situation. And, now it’s almost all for naught. But, overall, I think it was the best decision, and maybe should of happened earlier.”
WMW Spokesperson Benny Tyler met with the media earlier today.
In the press conference, Tyler said, “We can bring in whomever we want, and don’t have to feel like we need to trap down our roster to long term contracts. I think it will give us a bit more of a relaxed atmosphere. As far as the future. We can only go up. Now, we have nothing stopping us. … WMW has always been a regional fed. Our fans are in Cleveland. We’ll still be on TV as our contract with FSN does not expire for another year. Our ratings won’t change. Quite likely, more people will tune in to see what happens.”

TEAM Wrestling announced at press conference``xtholzerman``xJess Chapel, former A1E booking assistant and owner of the now-defunct Underground X-Treme Wrestling, has announced the formation of a new team-based wrestling promotion.
This promotion, simply enough, will be named TEAM Wrestling. The press conference, held at The Storage Facility, UXW's home base of operations in Northeast Philadelphia, was held Tuesday, July 5 and started at 4 pm.
Basically, Chapel quelled rumors of a UXW revival and laid out the plans for TEAM, which will have at least eight teams of six wrestlers apiece competing for the Chad Dupree Memorial Cup. The Dupree Cup was donated from an anonymous benefactor.
Not much else was laid out at the conference. TEAM does not have a TV deal yet, but they are in heavy negotations with ESEN, FX and possibly even a spot on one of ESPN's family of networks.
One interesting aspect of TEAM is that it will not work in direct competition with existing feds and will work in cooperation, giving feds the option of fielding teams for the season.
In the wake of the announcement, there have been several signings to the new promotion. Before the press conference, the Iron Duke was signed to a multi-year deal to be the lead color announcer for weekly programming. Chapel himself will handle play-by-play duties.
SEveral wrestlers have been signed to the league so far, but no teams have been registered for. However, it's strongly rumored that the CSWA, MBE and Legacy of Champions will all field teams. Also, sources report that Teri Melton has been meeting with Chapel and she may have interest in owning a team as well.
On the wrestling signing department, Chapel scored a major coup by registering the services of Dan Ryan and Hida Yakamo for the season. It's strongly rumored that they will enter on teams rather than as draftable wrestlers, but at this point, no one's sure of anything.``xEEkpykkEAZxrXkknjs``x1120625797``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xTom Holzerman``xhttp://team.fwrestling.com/pressconference.html``xJess Chapel, former A1E booking assistant and owner of the now-defunct Underground X-Treme Wrestling, has announced the formation of a new team-based wrestling promotion.``x``xfw85x85.gif``x``x``xTEAM``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
NFW West: Prepare the Buckets of Blood``xNFW``xWell, if the Michael Manson vs. Dan Ryan main event last night didn't set the tone for the sophomore season in New Frontier Wrestling, viewers that love their old-school, mid-south, Von-Erich/Freebirds style violence will happy to know that this weekend in Cheyenne, Wyoming -- the NFW West will cater to your dreams.
Reports out of Cheyenne have confirmed contractors getting paid a healthy sum to construct some interesting items in preparation for the Week 2 show. Wrestlers themselves have even slipped some hints to the media that they might not walk out of the show alive, this week.
Considering some of the matches slated for the card - Windham vs. Winters, Mayfield vs. Miles, Randalls vs. Cameron, Alias vs. Garvin...you could say this was to be expected. However, trying to play up the 'Western' theme along with wrestling in a rodeo arena -- the NFW Board of Directors decided to push the whole conference forward in a similar direction.
To me, it seems that Sullivan, Mystic, Miles and Mayfield are intent on not backing down on whatever bad blood exists between them...and now, the wrestlers who came to the West in search of the Ultratitle now have fully comprehend how dangerous a decision it was to walk through the West to do it.``xEEkpVAlpykSPlzfiQy``x1120601662``xwire``x56481091824871``xNatrone Rice``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com/``x``x``x``xtuesdaywire.gif``x``xNFW``xConference announces barbaric Week 2 theme``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Eddy Love resigned!?!?!?``xNFW``xAs New Frontier Wrestling readies itself for the barbaric night ahead in Cheyenne, Wyoming -- word last night hit the wires announcing that 'The Eddy Love' show had been scheduled for appearance on this week's Western Conference show.
Officials have remained tight-lipped today concerning the slated appearance, even calls to Calvin Carlton (Love's former manager) seemed to be met with shock...then even appallment.
Insiders are preparing for any number of motives in Love's return, which may include reforming the Playboys with NFW West superstar Troy Windham who now has 'The Fallen Angel' Donaven Winters to contend with, and possibly a lost ally in 'Hot Property' Eddie Mayfield.``xEEkpVAZyEpELdqyQPH``x1120601210``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xCumdeana Jones``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com/``xAs New Frontier Wrestling readies itself for the barbaric night ahead in Cheyenne, Wyoming -- word last night hit the wires announcing that 'The Eddy Love' show had been scheduled for appearance on this week's Western Conference show.``x``xnfwnews.gif``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

An Interview with the Queen``xtholzerman``xI recently sat down with NFW East, fWo, A1E superstar and EPW Champion Lindsay Troy for an interview. Here's how it went.
TS: Hello, my name is Thomas Smith, the FW Informer, and today my guest is Empire Pro World Heavyweight Champion, the Queen of the Ring, Lindsay Troy. How are you doing today, Ms. Troy?
LT: I'm doing alright, Tom. Thanks again for the invite.
TS: The pleasure is all mine. Let's get to the questions right away. Now, you won the Empire Pro World Championship at Russian Roulette at the end of a fantastic swerve, which we'll get to later. You are widely regarded as the first female Champion on the FW/A1 circle. How does it feel to break down gender barriers?
LT: It feels even better now that I have twenty pounds of gold around my waist. (laughs) In all seriousness, I think that something of this magnitude was a long-time coming and it turned the business right on its head and opened a lot of eyes in many different companies.
TS Indeed it has, some positively, some negatively. Have you met much resistance backstage, being a woman Champion in a man's business?
LT: Like anything else, there's good press and bad press. I've met resistance since I got my start nine years ago, so the idea of one of the boys not wanting to be booked against me is nothing new. I take it in stride. But since I'm representing Empire Pro as its World Champ, I can say that yeah...there's been some talk floating around about hether Ryan's off his rocker or if I can even handle the responsibility. I think my track record as a champion in other companies speaks for itself, that when the spotlight's on me I deliver. It's about being a leader, in the lockerroom, in the board room, in front of and behind the cameras. It's about sacrifice, and the business giveth and taketh away. It's not just a man's world anymore, Tom. Women like Ivy, who I respect more than any other woman I know in the business, can attest to that.
TS: It surely isn't just a man's world, as you've proven over the last few months with the Dis angle. Tell me, how did that come about?
LT: A lady doesn't kiss and tell, but I will say that Dan is one of the smartest and shrewdest businessmen that I know.
TS: Interesting. Well, if I can't get the origin of Dis out of you, I might as well ask you about the happenings during said angle. Now, in one of your tournament matches, you faced off against Clapper, who had some pretty controversial things to say about the Empire booking process as it pertained to A1E. Did you think at any time he was onto you being Dis?
LT: The only person, I think, who had any idea of my being Dis was Xandor. He's one of my oldest friends and knows me all too well. Regardless of my past history with A1E, I think there was a time and a place for the comments that Clapper made. In front of a camera during a TV promotional week, hyping a tournament match that had little to do with A1E, was not the time to do it. He enjoyed hearing the sound of his voice too much.
TS: I think that was the consensus among most people. But enough about him, now you've been around the wrestling world. Currently, you shocked the world by being the latest in a litany of returnees to A1E. You're currently competing in NFW East. You're an fWo veteran. Which is your favorite?
LT: You mean, besides Empire Pro?
TS: No, inclusive of Empire Pro as well.
LT: As far as A1E goes, some felt it was necessary for the chairwoman to call a meeting of the board. To answer your question though, Empire Pro is first and foremost. NFW and fWo are about tied.
TS: Well your board meeting on Tuesday Night Warfare raised a few brows. Why did you go back to A1E?
LT: In due time, all will be revealed. But as the saying goes, loose lips sink ships. I can tell you that my involvement there will be taking a different course than my first stint in the company.
TS: I could make a snarky comment here, but that's just not my style. (laughs)
LT: Wouldn't be the first time someone did. (smirks)
TS: Anyway, let's move on and do some word association. Are you ready?
LT: To take a line from Joe of Family Guy fame..."LET'S DO THIS!"
TS: (laughs) Alright, first up, Joey Melton
LT: The General of the Sexual Revolution
TS: Next up... Michael Manson
LT: Pez
TS: Next up, Jericoholic Anonymous
LT: Underrated
TS: Next up, the Squared Circle
LT: Wouldn't be the same without Harvard
TS: Next up, Shane Southern
LT: Driven
TS: Next up, Doc Silver
LT: Shootie
TS: Next one, Xandor Alvarez
LT: Eternally loved and missed
TS: Next up... MBE
LT: Dan Ryan's playground
TS: Two more... The Canadian Revolution
LT: Overrated and Overhyped
TS: And finally... Rabesquedor
LT: Borinating the Countryside
TS: That was rousing and inspirational, don't you think?
LT: I could keep going, Tom, but we'd be here forever.
TS: Yes, and they don't pay me by the hour. So anyway, last question, what can we expect from the Queen of the Ring in the last half of 2005?
LT: More lessons in Feminine Wiles and the Art of INTRIGUE~!, if I have anything to say about it.
TS: Alright Lindsay, thank you very much for your time.
LT: Anytime you need a sound-byte, you've got one from me.
TS: Thanks, and that's it from the Informer.``xEEEAZkypEyReEXYtZE``x1119729616``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Informer``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com``x``x``x``xweekendwire.gif``x``xa whole bunch``xThe Informer Interviews``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Greensboro, We Have a Problem``xChad``xYou would think that with the return and takeover by an old owner, a newly-signed television deal, and the return of the UNIFIED World Championship in a tournament featuring CSWA, fWo, ACW, A1E and EPW superstars, that the CSWA has enough on its plate at the moment.
But apparently someone doesn't think so. The CSWA appears to have a hacker problem.
The cameras are on, the music kicks in, but the screens are... rebooting? That can't be right. Monitors don't 'reboot,' they're on or they're off. But either way, something's up with the screens. It's not PRIMETIME, it's....

CSWA officials refuse to comment on the matter, and insiders appear to be stumped. So far, the "hacks" haven't caused any lasting damage to the CSWA other than some embarrassment, but with the league's life depending on the UNIFIED Tournament and the upcoming ANNIVERSARY pay-per-view, who knows what the ultimate design is.

PbPro officials announce one-night return of WNW``xtholzerman``xPbPro officials issued an official press release detailing the one-night-only of their landmark television show Wednesday Night Warriors.
According to the release, the success of the MBE Cup has spiked demand in several major television outlets for a full-time return of the fed, which closed its doors unceremoniously after the departure of World Champion Promo and Unified Champion A.J. Cirrus in 2003.
Also according to the release, it will be an "Open Arena Challenge," meaning that all matches will come from challenges.
"MBE was started as an outlaw promotion, and we want to return to the unpredicatable roots that made us a household name," said Mr. Amazing!, who is the American head of MBE.
So far, the only match signed has been Webweaver and Freakshow, but it's also rumored that Maggot has issued an open challenge to MBE Cup finalist and former CSWA World Champion Dan Ryan. No word yet on if that was accepted.
Speaking of the MBE Cup, Londonboy won the Last Chance Battle Royale and will join Irish Red and Ryan in the final match. The Cup Finals will take place at a later date sometime after this special edition of WNW runs.``xEEElukAZZpLdFfSzup``x1118433370``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xTHe MBE Informer``xhttp://www.a1wrestling.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=15&topic_id=1251&mesg_id=1251&page=``xPbPro officials issued an official press release detailing the one-night-only of their landmark television show Wednesday Night Warriors.``x``xdefault.jpg``x``x``xMBE``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
The MBE Cup Finals... A Preview``xtholzerman``xDan Ryan made it to the finals of the MBE Cup. No surprise there.
However, everyone who had Londonboy and Irish Red as his two opponents in your office pools, raise your hand.
That's what I thought.
LB and Red surprised everyone, including myself, with their run to the finals. Everyone thought that Maggot, Housefly Paco or Freakshow would have made it that far. Cross and Craig Miles were more likely choices. Andrew Gilkison certainly was one who a lot of pundits thought would be in the final three.
But here we are, on the threshold of the first ever MBE Cup, and Londonboy and Irish Red are there, toppling the giants and proving everyone wrong.
However, there's still one more mountain for them to climb, and it's in the form of the Ego Buster.
Dan Ryan swept through the tournament with relative ease up until he ran into Gilkison in the quarterfinals and then again in the semifinals due to a draw in the former and to Fly and Miles being doubly eliminated due to their draw in the quarters for reasons I care not to go into.
Still though, Ryan did what he had to do.
And so did Londonboy and Irish Red.
So who is the favorite? That question's easy to answer, it's Ryan. But who will actually come out of this thing and win? That's not so easy to answer.
Londonboy has had a history of standing toe-to-toe with the figurative giants in the industry, feuding with Fly in his early A1E days, and then later on, facing off against Paco and Freakfish, the latter whom he was victorious against on a non-tournament match in the card. With that in consideration, maybe it's not such a surprise that LB toppled Maggot, Freakshow, Paco and others to win the Last Chance Battle Royale.
Red has made an outstanding run through the tournament, defeating everyone they put in front of him against the odds. Coming out of prison and back into the ring, Red has taken full advantage of his second chance. Maybe being in the clink gave him some extra toughness. As if the founder of the MidWest Mafia wasn't tough enough.
But will LB's resolve or Red's heart be enough to topple the all-around talent that is Dan Ryan? You never know in this business, where upsets are a little less uncommon than sub-zero temperatures in Russian winter.
However, I do have to go with the facts. Ryan is bigger, is a better wrestler, has won more titles and may just be the best all-around superstar in any federation.
So that's my pick. Dan Ryan will win the inaugural MBE Cup. It's been my pick all along, so why go against it?
However, that's not to say this won't be an interesting match, because I guarantee that both Londonboy and Irish Red will make it such.``xEEElukFVAAAQnsOkzb``x1118427199``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe MBE Informer``xhttp://www.a1wrestling.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=15``x``x``x``xfridaywire.gif``x``xMBE``xThe Informer``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The fact that whether you bring HEAT to 'ol Craiggers, or lobbed softball pitches -- something just not quite right will be answered. In any case, this column hasn't been updated in awhile. The religious right have praised Chad Merritt's efforts in travelling the world, preaching to the poor of Jakarta that they should not worship the 'satanic beast' that I am.
I have to thank Chad as that's definitely cleared up the bulk folder of Indonesians that have 6 million dollars and just need my creditor information to deliver the goods.
Thomas may have stolen his fed, but as Ray Cornette is my witness -- this is definitely Merritt's web site. Updated about once a month, we can't complain. After all, the man's on a mission in Southeast Asia one week, Pakistan the next.
"IF YOU LOOK INTO HIS SUNGLASSES, HE WILL STEAL YOUR SOUL!"
Right on the cover the pamphlet I got in the mail.
Chad's hugging a little Bulgarian girl.
Quite amazing.
Craig,
I kno dats yous in a stable now wif da Frog and some otha peoples, but don'tcha kno dat deys wops and yas should join da Villani Connection
Translation: Join the Villani Connection, please, because the PAINMAKERS suck.
love, Joey V.
What's funny about this is the last I heard, Villani's brother was slinging dough in the South Bronx. How the hell Joey escaped the circus Simon Cowl sold him to in Africa is beyond my comprehension. I heard he went over real well with the Nigerians who thought he was the first talking Gorillia.
...Of course, the response in Zaire...
...well, 36 tribal villagers died of brain hemmorages in one of the world's strangest tragedies. Who knew an NYC Italian accent made their brains pop?
...I'm so sad, I'll just stop.
Now.

Season 2 Start Announced!``xNFW``x"The Long Wait" may finally be over.
In a live press conference in front of Network Associates Colesium in Oakland, California - Quentin Sullivan and Anne Mystic announced the approved plans for the Western Conference's inaugural season.
What does that mean?
A North American Tour.
A New Television Program titled "Midnight Madness."
And of course, Opening Day. May 30, 2005 - In conjunction with the fifth year anniversary of Craig Miles' legendary press conference announcing the birth of New Frontier Wrestling.
Mystic and Sullivan accepted no questions, but did announce that the tour cities and show concept would be explained in a press conference next week in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Naturally, Mystic a hardline supporter for Philadelphia held out on signing any Season 2 itinerary until the NFW Board of Directors promised Opening Day to the City of Brotherly Love.
On that show, the UWA World Title will be resurrected and filled as Troy Windham and Tom Adler will battle it out in the main event, a Lumberjack match. Mystic sold the Board on the premise that the UWA World Heavyweight Championship could be unified with the NFW World Heavyweight Championship. Why? Reviews from from last season showed that NFW needed help with frequent lulls the midseason produced in ratings.
With that in mind, Viking Arena was announced as the venue and 12:00 AM, May 30th -- Season Two will begin.
Historians will note that the UWA was a featured Philadelphia promotion in the mid-90's, and its where many legends such as Michael Manson, Shane Southern, Craig Miles, Tom Adler and Troy Windham first defined their niche in the sport.
NFW's website is still under redesign, but word has it that Bucky Talbot, legendary designer from media-savvy fWo is on board to help.``xEEEyuVlZEEmmycQtun``x1116462311``x(default)``x53481091834249``xKerry O'Connor``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``x"The Long Wait" may finally be over.

Vengeance strikes with a vengeance``xtholzerman``xThe top two A1E titles changed hands at Vengeance in Las Vegas this past week, and Big Dog's mystery partner was an old face returning to A1E after saying he'd never wrestle in an A1E ring again.
Housefly regained the A1E World Heavyweight Championship for a third time after defeating Ken Cloverleaf in a hotly contested match in the main event, a hybrid Ladder/Last Man Standing match where the winner had to knock his opponent out with the A1E World Championship belt. Fly won the return match after winning by disqualification at Sudden Death over Cloverleaf. After he won though, Cloverleaf spat on him and the refs needed to hold them back from each other. The issue between the two probably hasn't been settled yet. Stay tuned.
In other title change news, Andrew Gilkison defeated Steven Shane for the Cyber Title. Gilkison is now a two time Cyber Championship winner.
In what was perhaps the most brutal match of the night, AJ Cirrus triumphed over Duchess in a Hell-in-the-Cell match. The two destroyed both the Spanish and French announce tables, harkening back to the original Vengeance when JA and Canadian Hitman destroyed the Inuit announce table.
Speaking of the Anglo Luchador, Jericoholic Anonymous was Big Dog's mystery partner, returning to A1E to defeat the Tag Team Champions Torment and Haven in a non-title match. However, the Champs got the last laugh by assaulting the two after the match.
Sources say that JA's appearance is not a one-night deal and that JA signed a contract with his original home of the national companies two weeks ago. JA, who said in the Torch after his departure from A1E in early 2003 that he'd never step foot in an A1E ring again, and who hinted that fulltime A1E work wasn't on his agenda after this match with Euclid in the summer of 2004 in an interview with Dave Meltzer, will work fulltime schedules for three promotions (EPW and CSWA being the other two) for the time being.
In other title action, Beast staved off Prisoner 187 to retain his Survivor Championship, and Chip Friendly retained the Triple Star Championship after his valet, Juen Lee, pinned Canuck.
In the other match of the evening, Richard Farnswirth defeated Mr. Incredible. No word yet on whether Mr. Incredible will have to honor the stipulation that he leave A1E after Golden Dreams V because of the loss, since Farnswirth resisted it before the match.``xEEEVAVZppVdeJsMaZq``x1115960605``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe A1E Informer``xhttp://www.a1wrestling.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=10&topic_id=7320&mesg_id=7320&page=``xThe top two A1E titles changed hands at Vengeance in Las Vegas this past week, and Big Dog's mystery partner was an old face returning to A1E after saying he'd never wrestle in an A1E ring again.``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``xA1E``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Aggression 17 sees kidnapping, Third Dis``xtholzerman``xAggression 17 blew the roof off the New Orleans Arena, following a strong pay-per-view showing with Russian Roulette. Among the happenings on Empire's television show were the debuting of yet another Dis, Beast and Dan Ryan issuing ultimata to each other, the in-ring debut of Troy Windham's Entourage and the kidnapping of JA's girlfriend Lollipop.
The show kicked off with the new World's Heavyweight Champion Lindsay Troy coming down to the ring, ranting and raving about everything from Beast to the Second Dis masquerading around and tormenting Cross.
It was also revealed that #1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship Karl Brown would have to take some time off to rehabilitate his knee. Brown reluctantly took Dan Ryan's orders to take time off, and in his stead, Cameron Cruise will get a shot at the Intercontinental Championship at the next Aggression against Champion Sebastian Dodd, who had the week off.
Beast came out before the main event and demanded a rematch agaisnt Troy for the World Championship, to which owner Dan Ryan granted under one condition: that Beast wrestle a series of matches before he can get that rematch in order to "prove himself worthy" to the owner.
And in one of the weirdest developments of the night, Steve Savoy, Ron Artest and Ricky Williams orchestrated a kidnapping of JA's girlfriend Lollipop, revealing to him that they had her bound and gagged during an interview segment. JA went back to Savoy's locker room and instigated a brawl which turned into an impromptu start to their match for the evening, which ended in double disqualification after Artest and Bill Laimbeer interfered.
In other match action, Vladimir Vlachinko's first and last match in Empire Pro ended in defeat at the hands of Priest. Notable during the match was the appearance of a dark character who seemed to have cost Vlachinko the match. Also, Karl Brown defeated Isaac Byrne in Byrne's last Empire match for the time being, and the Cameron Cruise Project eked out a victory over the debuting Entourage of Troy Windham.
In the main event, Cross took on Dis 2. During the match, yet another combatant dressed in the Dis garb came out and interfered, luring Lindsay Troy out from the back as well. The third Dis scored the pinfall over Cross much to the ref's ignorance.``xEEEulpyEAFhyfxzmUj``x1114809793``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xthe Empire Informer``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/host/EmpirePro/aggression17.html``xAggression 17 blew the roof off the New Orleans Arena, following a strong pay-per-view showing with Russian Roulette.``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``xEPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Announces double inaugural tournaments``xHSThompson``x[New York] Amidst a flash of cameras, AJWA President S. Thompson announced plans for two inaugural tournaments today for his new pro-wrestling federation.
"The idea is to get things started with a bang," Thompson said, "the first eight wrestlers I sign will automatically be placed in the heavyweight tournament. From there I'll begin adding names for our deathmatch tournament...not to be missed."
Details of the latter tourney are heavily under wraps, but a long-time associate of President Thompson's had just one clue for us to contemplate:

Two More Matches For Aftershock``xJames Greene``x(Vernon, NJ) -- Two more matches have been announced for FCW Aftershock, coming up next Sunday from the newly renamed TD BankNorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Hometown boy and former FCW Heavyweight Champion Billy Bishop will be taking on perhaps his greatest rival to date, the Texas Terror Jesse Rollen. The feud between these two men has boiled over during the last few weeks, and FCW officials finally decided this match absolutely HAS to happen!
The second match announced is actually an offshoot of the Rollen/Bishop feud. Rollen's Trilogy tag team partner (and also one half of the FCW Tag Team Champions) Toetagger Tony Eriole takes on Bishop ally Crimson Spider.
These two matches are in addition to the three others already signed for the show. Those include Night Stalker taking on the Tie-Dyed Scorpion for the FCW North American Championship; FCW Intercontinental Champion (and UWA World Heavyweight Champion) Mean Mr. Fist defending his IC strap against either Typhoid Mary or Blaze; and FCW Heavyweight Champion Brian Clothier putting up the gold in his second defense, against the winner of tomorrow's #1 Contendership bout between Jesse Rollen and Pain Master.
Yes, Jesse Rollen may actually wrestle TWICE at Aftershock! Rollen has assured FCW officials he will gladly take on that responsibility, as he wants to take out Bishop AND capture the league's heavyweight title in the same show!

The Ivy League: You Can't Go Home Again``xhexedangel``xA long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a Little Wrestling Company That Could, and they did. The company that hosted every Unified Heavyweight Champion that ever was, back when the idea of a Unified Title meant something bigger than any one promotion. The company that redefined what it meant to have a "major event" with an arena that seated over one hundred thousand fans, two nights in a row, and a Main Event that set the standard for years to come.
I think it's safe to say that more people have entered the business since 2002 than have for possibly the entire two decades before. That's the only explanation I can think of for the snickers and stifled laughter that I hear when I dare say that the CSWA is the most influential promotion that's been around in my lifetime.
Look closer.
Eli Flair is the current two - time fWo World Heavyweight Champion. In two weeks' time, Deacon may very well be. 'Cocky' Craig Miles is a household name, not just as the Dean of Thermodynamics in the Professional Heel Academy but as the owner and founder of New Frontier Wrestling. 'Devastating' Mike Randalls reinvented himself and revolutionized first, Action Wrestling, and then, the Squared Circle. Even the most unlikely of success stories, fortysomething Joey Melton made it to the Final Four of the Ultratitle, eventually won by Michael Manson, who defeated Shane Southern... who was, at the time, the reigning CSWA World Champion.
Look closer.
Detractors will say that in the CSWA's heyday, there were only three places that Merritt and Thomas focused. Hornet, Mark Windham, and the people they were wrestling. Well, so what? Hornet and Windham comprise the first three Unified Championship reigns in the history of the title, and Hornet is one of two men who have held the title three times. Not just that, but both men won a version of the CSWA World Championship on multiple occasions, the most recent was ten years or close to it after the prior.
Besides, despite the focus on Hornet, Windham, and the dearly departed and very much missed Ray S. Cornette, the people in charge of the CSWA on any given night did the absolute best thing possible for the rest of us: they left us alone. It was because of this freedom that Mike Randalls became perhaps the most dominating force in the industry during the mid - to - late 1990s. It was because of this freedom that Troy Windham became the measuring stick of 'cool' for the MTV generation. It was because of this freedom that Team Extreme was conceived of, and became the counterculture tribe that it has.
Look closer.
This is the only company that could have held the Unified Championship Committee together for as long as it did. From the Ultratitle tournaments to the IRONMAN of Champions tournaments, the CSWA did just as much for the business as a whole as it did for its own borders. The measure of a company's impact on the sport as a whole is not only based on the success of the individuals contained therein, but on the way that success made them a target for everyone thereout. The Standard Wrestling Federation frequently took shots at the CSWA due to the owner's failure to find success. Other than these three sentances, no representative of the CSWA has ever even acknowledged their existence. That should tell you how much each company placed on the name of the other.
Look closer.
When the words "Extreme" and "Attitude" permeated the sport, the CSWA was affected, just like any other company. You can see how it happened through such matches as the Firehouse match, or the Wheel of Death, or the myriad of Barbed Wire matches that Eli competed in. Or, the ultimate hardcore fanboy's wet dream feud, Mike Randalls and GUNS. But the core of the attention was always on the people who could make you listen. Hornet. Mark Windham. Troy Windham. GUNS. Mike Randalls. Tom Adler. Joey Melton. These men were technical wizards. Submission wizards. Brawling specialists. Psychology specialists. The only thing they all had in common was the fact that they could work any style put in their path. The CSWA was famous for giving anyone under the sun a shot, during the days where nearly all the fresh fish were speaking and wrestling the same. But if you look at the main events of the time; with the exception of the times Merritt and Thomas experimented, it was always the ones who could tell a story in their match, or give you goosebumps with their promos. There was no People's Champion and Bottom Lines (other than Merritt's), but there was the JobTour, there was the King of Darkness, there was the Greatest American Hero. There was Ray's family and Mickey's vengeance, there was the saga of the Windham clan and twenty midgets who put on a better match than the fWo's entire hardcore division from 2003 on.
Look closer.
Merritt and Thomas were big on family values and keeping the product suitable for all ages, but they allowed the Wolf and the Psycho Bitch to be who we were with minimal censors to our actions and words, and zero censors to our ideas. Believe it or not, I was fairly quiet and withdrawn growing up, because I knew how outspoken I could be and thought it would make people angry. Merritt said no, McGinnis, unlike most people you actually have something to say, so you say it. Maybe some people consider Merritt the antichrist for convincing me to unleash the Psycho Bitch on the world, but if I hadn't, from a purely selfish standpoint, I wouldn't be here with you today. Granted, I'd have two functioning kidneys, three less bullet wounds, five less tattoos, and who the crap knows how many less general scars, but I'd be missing something much more valuble.
And look even closer.
The CSWA is a family. Twenty years from now, when all of us are long retired, we'll run into each other on some random street and have a thousand and one stories to reminisce about. The CSWA is the only company where we could call one founder a 'Tard' and the other an avid fan of gloves and nobody who knows the stories bats an eye. The CSWA is the place where, even now, ten years after the fact, the simple word 'Poop' still elicits a laugh from mature, sophisticated adults who just happen to know the story. From Merritt and Thomas to Gethard and Lambfry, Sammy, Rudy, and even Manny Jay, there's no member of the CSWA support staff that's going to be able to escape my life. There's a reason why Sean, even though he spent precious little time in the CSWA, is considered one of us "CSWA"ers by the rest of the fWo roster. There's a reason why those four letters can practically guarantee employment with any other company currently running shows.
Most of all, there's a reason why, even after every halt of business, those of us who know are always there and will always be there to start things up once more. There's a reason why, despite all the conflicts they've gone through in the past half decade, Hornet can always be found somewhere on the show even if Merritt has fired him recently (again). There's a reason why Sammy, despite all the abuse he's taken and given over the years, is both the most enthusiastic to return to work and the most welcome face at the pre- tour meetings.
Sorry to destroy your gimmick, Sammy, but Ivy loves ya!
I've only had three homes in this life. There have only been three places where I've felt completely comfortable and not self - conscious, where I know that my insecure neurotic nature does not have to be surpressed in favor of the cool - as - ice business predator Poison Ivy. The first place is the city, county, and state of New York, home of Ivy Lillian McGinnis, born and bred, and will hopefully someday die in Queens. The second is Sean Stevens' home in Orlando, Florida, where I can get away from it all. The third is Greensboro, North Carolina. Home of the CSWA, home of Hornet, the best announce team in the history of professional wrestling, home of CS Enterprises, home of 92% of the Parsons family... home of the Psycho Bitch, Poison Ivy.
I've heard the rumors, how this may be the last gasp of life for a once - mighty wrestling company. Well, let me state, for the record, that CSWA17 could be Cameron Cruise wrestling a chicken in the main event, a bottle of cherry 7-up against Ken War in a marathon match, and a forty five minute intermission where Jason Bateman performs a striptease in front of six fans who got lost on their way to the bathroom.
If it says CSWA on the banner, then I'm going to be there. Period.

NFW West Loses Youngblood, Signs Three``xNFW``xIn a shocking move announced this week, Brandon Youngblood returned his signing bonus and announced that he will not be participating under the NFW West Banner in Season 2.
Speculation has run rampant since Jolt's PPV "The Retort," where a post-match storyline shift with Youngblood and Jeff Garvin confirmed suspicions that Garvin was unhappy with his tenure in the fed. Garvin, now out of Jolt, still plans to compete in the NFW West.
However, Brandon Youngblood confirmed rumours that he was indeed cutting back his schedule severely in anticipation of an early retirement. Youngblood dissuaded any hard feedling between himself and Jeff Garvin, as well as his Jolt relationship. He also maintained that nagging injuries from 2004 along with the prospects of starting a family led him to his decision.
NFW didn't take too long to jump on the ball as that left them with five openings in the NFW West Roster to fill before the big Preseason show. Quickly, they've found three wrestlers that should figure prominently in the mix of insanity, War and old-school styled wrestling.
Gabriel Brown, a former RPW Champion as "Invincible Gabe," signed a 1-year $500,000 contract. Brown was tutored by tSC legend/fWo mainstay Sonny Silver and looks to be quickly following in the footsteps with his media relations, as he lashed out at any reporters questioning his RPW period.
Signing another contract was a man only identified by management as URIEL, a complete unknown to anyone in the business. The first look at this man will be at the Preseason show, when the NFW West serves as lumberjacks for the highly-anticipated Troy Windham vs. Tom Adler match in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Finally, rounding out the trio of signings this week was a complete surprise to everyone as the owner of the Heimdal Halfway House For Wayward Wrestlers will be taking off the apron, to fight in one. That's right, Frank Heimdal, a former Action! Wrestling legend has signed a 1-year contract to return to the sport.``xEEEFVFkAupiGaXDXaV``x1113536540``xwire``x56481091824871``xKerry O'Connor``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``x``x``x``xthursdaywire.gif``x``xNFW``xBrandon Youngblood calls it quits, early``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

7 and 17``xChad``xIt's the double birthday everybody loves. If you can believe it, FWrestling.com turns seven years old this month. And the CSWA turned 17, although in typical fashion, won't celebrate is until May or June.
FWrestling.com started as FantasyWrestling.com in April 1998 and has been running ever since. Originally designed to host the CSWA and leagues moving off the PRODIGY service, the site has continued to grow, hosting over 7.5 million visits and 70 million hits (and that's just since the move to the new server about 2.5 years ago).
The CSWA started in 1988 as a "home league" between friends, eventually moving to the PRODIGY service in April 1992 and creating many of the trends that are 'normal' today as far as the use of roleplay and card writing. Over the last couple of years, the CSWA has been less active than we hoped, but expect some major announcements about that soon.
Thanks to all of you who contribute to the site, whether through news, posting on FW Central, running leagues on the free hosting sites, etc. Seven years in 'web time' is a long, long time -- and it's even longer in "fantasy wrestling/e-wrestling" time.
Here's to another 7. Look for some additional changes coming in the next few months, as well as some surprises.

Inks TV Deal on U-62``xChad``xThe CSWA announced Monday that it has inked a deal to return to the U-62 airwaves after an absence of several years. The move comes after the CSWA was dropped by the National Cable Network (NCN) following the January airing of CSWA SHOWTIME in Houston.
Following the event, NCN notified the CSWA of its intention not to renew the final year of the four-year contract, due to the content, which included challenger Eddie Mayfield being injured by a pyrotechnics misfire. The 'misfire' was quickly found to be the doing of World Champion Shane Southern and Craig Miles.
While specifics of the U-62/CSWA deal were not released, sources advised that the deal is short-term, dependent upon the CSWA's ability to deliver promised content and ratings.``xEEEFEAZyApCxJOmJlo``x1113201290``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xFWrestling.com``xhttp://cswawrestling.com``xThe CSWA announced Monday that it has inked a deal to return to the U-62 airwaves after an absence of several years.

Note From Your AWOL Owner``xChad``xUPDATE (4/2): The free hosting signup problem has been fixed. Please try registering your account again.
A quick note from Chad:
I don't usually post personally things publicly, except to CSWA members, etc. But based on my recent absence and some apparent site issues, I wanted to make sure everyone who visits know at least part of what has been going on recently.
First, my apologies for those of you that have had trouble either reaching me by e-mail or with your own FWrestling e-mail accounts, as well as to those who have been bothered by lag on the FW Central boards. The server was experiencing significant lag, although the specific culprit wasn't found -- my guess is that duplicates of several processes had been running in the background and eventually used up all the available RAM, leading to the lag. (Note: It *could* have been an inadvertent by-product of a fix I tried to put into place for the FW Central reply count issue, but I don't know that for sure yet). I'm still working on chasing down the load issue, as well as working to make sure that it is more closely monitored by myself (and others when I'm away).
Second, my apologies for not letting you know about my recent absence. As some of you who know me more personally than others know, my family (like many of you) is my paramount concern. A little over a month ago, we found out that my nephew and nieces would be moving across the country -- for a number of reason, the surprise, the situation with ex-in-laws, etc., this was a bit more stressful than it might otherwise be. In addition, I've been traveling more for work, as well as working more, as we came down the old fiscal fourth-quarter stretch (which ended today).
That said, I haven't had the time or inclination to indulge my hobbies, especially this one. However, that doesn't mean that anyone should have been left in the lurch -- my apologies to those of you that feel like you were.
My plan is to get back on the boards and get caught up over the next day or two. As far as I can tell, my chad@fwrestling.com e-mail is working again, and I'll be catching up on outstanding messages there. If you have any question whether your message was received, or if you have an outstanding issue, please post a quick note on FW Central, or send me a private message. CSWA folks, you'll be getting a separate e-mail in the next couple of days.
A couple of issues that I know are still outstanding: -- the "free hosting" option is showing a 'banned IP' error for new signups. -- some posts on FW Central are not registering some replies in the reply count.
Thanks again for your continued patience and understanding. Over the weeks ahead, I'll be working with those who are interested in revamping some portions of the site and implementing some ideas we've had in place for a while.

Nate Rollins Makes Risky Return``xJason``xNine years ago Nate Rollins laid in the ring unable to feel anything from his waist down. He felt no physical pain at that moment only mental anguish and fear. "I heard my opponents music playing and heard the announcer say 'NEW WORLD CHAMPION' - but all that was going through my mind was 'Why can't I feel my legs - please someone help me'.
After years of physical and mental rehabilitation Nate Rollins is ready to return to the place where he almost lost he ability to live a normal life - the wrestling ring. What would make a man risk his own well being to simply wrestle again? In Nate's own words, "It's a part me, it's what makes me want to get up in the morning. Without wrestling, I don't know if life is worth living, it's all I've ever known.""
Will Nate Rollins be the same superstar he was a decade ago before the tragic injury? Is it really safe for this man to back inside the squared circle? April 25th 2005 will be an important day for the GZW, but an even more important date for Nate Rollins and his fans.``xEEEkkAyEEEpPgtEWbx``x1112299711``xoldnews``x``xWilliam Turner``xhttp://www.swg-rolepayers.com``xAfter a 9 year absence from the sport Nate Rollins we be making his triumphant return to the ring on April 25th.

GZW = A billionaires gift to his daughter``xjasonv``xMost girls ask for a new car when they turn eighteen, others are simply excited about the prospect of leaving the watchful eyes of their parents and heading down the path of college life. Robin Taylor, however, has never lived the life of a normal teenager before – so why would she start now? When her multi-billionaire asked her what she wanted for her eighteenth birthday present, she stated she wanted to own a professional wrestling promotion – and from there the GZW was born.
The benefits of this business deal for Robin’s father is there – whether his daughter succeeds or not. With success he gets to see his baby girl leave the nest and follow in the steps of her father and become a successful business owner – with failure he gets a nice tax write off. However, the affects that this business venture could have on the sport of professional wrestling is anything but minimal. Robin, while being a very attractive lady, has always been known as a spoiled brat who always gets her way. The decisions she makes is to benefit her and no one else. Will the wrestler’s of the world take a risk of working for a young lady who knows little about the sport? Will money be enough to attract the sport’s most decorated stars? How long will Robin’s attention be on the sport, will she quickly grow tired of her new toy “The GZW”?
All these questions will soon be addressed and I’m sure more questions will be raised in the coming weeks. The details about the operation of the league has raised some exciting opportunities to the sports stars, but is Robin really motivated to make this league a success or does she have a hidden motive? No matter what the future brings for the GZW, one thing is for sure, it will certainly be interesting! ``xEEEkEFEVuprAUfwzfX``x1112135140``xoldnews``x``xWayne Simmons``xhttp://www.swg-rolepayers.com``xWhen you are the daughter of a multi-billionaire, you get what you want - when you want it... and today Robin Taylor wants her own wrestling promotion.

The early years of NFW at the turn of the new millenia was all about developing a roster that you couldn't see anywhere else on the planet. With Quentin Sullivan's past in the UWA tying to Craig Miles' vision of an NFW future, the New Frontier put the emphasis on the 'New,' especially.
As years went by with Manson and Southern expanding their horizons and becoming superstars all over the (f)wrestling circuit, New Frontier watched the 'homegrowns' develop into national icons.
Last year, in the inaugural Ultratitle season, New Frontier focused more on an already proven roster with only Jonathan Marx and Kazuo Shizaki being the relative unknowns on the national level.
It could be argued that both Marx and Shizaki had achieved some prior early success, but neither would disagree that it was this past season that shaped their careers more than anywhere else.
Currently for Season Two, there are 28 wrestlers signed to the dotted line and all of them are known around the circuit for their widespread successes. So it seems that not only has the format of New Frontier Wrestling changed, but so has the ideals when searching for talent.
Quentin Sullivan remarked after the Eastern Conference announcements yesterday that NFW has stopped looking for established talent, as the Board of Directors are very satisfied with the cross-section they've acquired. Instead, look for the last remaining contracts to be filled by "Unknowns, Raw Talent," as Sullivan described it.
It'll be interesting not only WHERE they find the talent, but what kind of personalities they'll have. To say the least, the tensions are extremely high in both conferences without even one battle fought.``xEEEEFEkpZpsgNCIGyP``x1111315670``xwire``x56481091824871``x'Just' Mark``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``x``x``x``xweekendwire.gif``x``xNFW``xWith a star-studded cast now signed, NFW looking for raw talent``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

East Resigns Semifinalists, EPW World Champion``xNFW``xAfter several weeks on tenuous negotiations, three NFW personalities will return for the second season and compete in the Eastern Conference. EPW World Champion Lindsay Troy, former CSWA World Champion Dan Ryan and last year's NFW North Random Rumble winner, Kazuo Shizaki join a cast of (f)wrestling's elite in their own quests to capture the sport's greatest prize - The Ultratitle.
As we all know, Kazuo Shizaki is no stranger to the FZM Council of Elders, however, it was widely known following the season that Kazuo Shizaki wasn't jumping at the bit to re-sign with New Frontier Wrestling. Shizaki had been quoted in disgust with his match against Michael Manson in the Conference Semifinals, as well as the immoral, hardly honorable season he had to endure.
Yet, the competitor in Shizaki as well as his high-standing with the Council of Elders lured him back into a web he hopes to break through upon his return to New Frontier Wrestling. 'The Black Rose' did not comment at the press conference, but many observers watched him make a face of disgust during Dan Ryan's announcment. Furthermore, its no secret that Shizaki will have no qualms about challenging last season's Ultratitle Champion, Michael Manson.
Shizaki struck a hefty deal that will pay him more money tham a good portion of the league if he can advance far in the playoffs. A $900,000 pro-reated regular season contract could garner upwards of $750,000 in bonuses if he represents the Eastern Conference in the Ultratitle Championship.
Meanwhile, on the heels of a landmark (yet controversial) victory at EPW's Russian Roulette over Beast to win the World Championship, Lindsay Troy quite possibly upped her bargaining chips making negotiations tougher.
'The Queen of the Ring' is one of the premier female athletes in the world, as well as a highly successful and popular wrestling in the fWo. Also, a veteran of A1E, Troy had spent most her time on the (f)wrestling circuit as a manager to Joey Melton and Dan Ryan.
However, all that changed once she removed the mask of 'Dis,' after winning the EPW World Championship. What that did change into was a $850,000 pro-rated regular season contract with a roster bonus of $350,000 if Ms. Troy reaches the playoffs. Interestingly, Troy will only earn $100,000 in playoff bonuses if she does not advance to the Ultratitle Championship. However, if she does win the Ultratitle, she stands to make upwards of $1M in bonus money.
One gigantic roadblock that looks to stand in her way is none other than 'The Ego Buster' Dan Ryan. One of the most successful wrestlers on the (f)wreslting circuit of 2004, the world watched as Dan Ryan reshaped the CSWA World Championship picture, built Empire Pro Wrestling (EPW) and recently shocked America when he joined World's Finest Wrestling.
Not to mention that if it weren't for Dan Ryan's hatred of Joey Melton, one could say he might've challenged Michael Manson instead of Shane Southern in the finals, due to the fact that Ryan has a proven track record against Southern.
However, Dan Ryan was disqualified after Powerbombing Joey Melton on the floor, but not finished as he also cost Kazuo Shizaki a chance at the Ultratitle.
Ryan landed one of the highest contracts for the season, a lower bracket than the $2M contracts of Shane Southern and Michael Manson, but the first $1.5M regular season contract signed. If 'The Ego Buster' can claim the Ultratitle, he stands the chance of netting another $750,000 in bonus money.
Whatever the case may be, all three should play prominent roles in the Eastern Conference and also know the Japenese wrestling environment very well. Obviously, Shizaki being a native, but Troy and Ryan have also trained extensively in Japan. The deceased child of Dan Ryan actually beared by a Japanese woman.``xEEEEkluupyDDfbBVQV``x1111288006``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xAdam Nimo``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xAfter several weeks on tenuous negotiations, three NFW personalities will return for the second season and compete in the Eastern Conference.

Russel David’s The Mark: Issue #001``xNFW``xIssue:001 Winter 2004 Edition OOC Notes: Thanks to Katz, Ford and Chad (among many others) for there general in-put and huge help with the various sections of the column, helping make The Mark possible.
You’re probably wondering who I am and what I’m all about, aren’t you?
For that matter, why fwrestling.com has given a column to a man you’ve probably never heard of.
Well my name is Russel David and this, if you haven’t realized yet, is The Mark! Initially a big thank you goes out to the webmasters of this very site, who decided that it was a good decision to take a wide open chance on an old friend. As you’ll realize as you read on, yeah that was a good decision. I’m a twenty-five year old Calgary-native, canuckle head born and raised… and a journalism major from York University in the greater Toronto area. So growing up both in the east and west of Canada, where did I parlay my journalism degree? Rochester, New York of all places. Hey, nobodies perfect. What I found in Rochester though was a Staff Writing job with Pro Wrestling Magazine or PWM. That job has only helped the fruition of this concept, it’s not only given me the ability to write… but thankfully it’s opened up a number of contacts and friendships within this industry of pro wrestling.
So what do I do with those two great things, oddly enough brought up by a staff writing job on a wrestling magazine?
I take that chance given to me by the fine people at fwrestling.com and I write myself a column, a mini-magazine of sorts. For those of you, yeah all two of you, who remember my old column on the web-site of Terry Nodar’s Championship Wrestling League, that I also ran through The News wrestling web-site during my college years, called The BookMark… yep, this is very much it’s matured next step. Any fans of the old column would also be happy to know that the two main features (Casting Call, though with a new name, and Last Man Standing) are back in full force and with a host of all new attention grabbing features with ‘em.
Speaking of which, you’re probably wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into, aren’t you?
Let’s start with the start, this One Man Rant is my introduction to you the reader each and everyone month, bi-month, quarter of the year, heh, that this column comes out. Not only will I rant about the things that have grabbed my attention since the last issue, but I’ll also be telling you what’s what with each of the FIVE other regular features (plus gush about any special feature that is running for the issue, like this first issues “VS” section). The OMR will be me with my heart on my sleeve, pulling as good as an Ivy as I can muster (which isn’t all that good, don’t worry), telling you what’s what from my point of view and what’s up in this, the latest issue of The Mark. One thing that I’ll be bound to complain about will be my lack of ability to be topical. Then again, you’ll pick up on that one in a hurry. Sure I’ll talk about those big events… but don’t expect me to be the first one. Just so you know, news for this edition hit the wall on December 31st, 2004. Be that Champions, general accomplishments or general happenings overall. You want to hear about what January 1st, 2005 did for the world of wrestling, you’ll have to wait for my next rant. Hey sorry, it’s what I do. (That last bit doesn’t pertain to the Roleplay (mid-April) or LMS (mid-March) features… just ‘cause. Yeah.)
The squared circle gets the silver screen touch with Reel Wrestling. In the only part of this column that’s taken completely out of my hands, well except for my deciding of whom does it of course. I give the people who know your favorite superstars the best (OOC:*cough*said character’s writer/handler) the chance to cast a movie around that personality. They get the chance to cast every last supporting character, and even other superstars important to the story, all the way up to the superstar themselves (sorry, no ‘as Himself’ roles this time around). The budget is in no way an option when it comes to putting Hollywood’s finest and the best of the indy scene in roles you’ve learned to love. So pop some popped corn, sit back because for this first issue you get the great fun of looking at the cast list of the Original Pulp Hero movie!
After that it’s a bit of Roleplay. This is the part of the column where I’m actually crazy enough to allot the time for some columnist-on-columnist arguing. I was thinking, hey because it’s been so popular over the last couple months of ’04 anyway on FW… then why not take advantage of the out-spoken. The fun with Roleplay is that it’s all about putting words in another person’s mouth. How’s this you ask? Well, with 60 seconds to spare each time, my co-panelist and I speak as two different notable faces in the news, each. Say I start as Deacon. Wait, bad example, but yes say I did. Then my co-panelist will ask me questions, and I give the answers as I assume Deacon would. Kinda. Cause of course the believability of any answer, and all other jibber-jabber can and will be stretched. To show you, and possibly me, how it’s done for the first run around… my co-panelist will be the one and only ‘Cocky’ Craig Miles.
Must Read TV gives me the chance to spotlight my personal choice for the RP, segment, match, moment and show of the last three/two/one month(s). Take what has caught my eye and whore it out to the masses! Huzzah! For this issue, anything that’s happened within October, November or December is open season for pickings. All in all, that’s Must Read TV to a tee.
The Fantasy Wrestling Stock Exchange (FWSX) is officially the showcase of my wide knowledge of a handful of federations out there in a world full of federations. ;) Honestly though, these are the Top 20 men and women in the world of wrestling of the 4th Quarter of the year (last three months, natch)… from my POV. Everyone has a different opinion I’m sure, and in no way is this a list that’s been figured out by a mathematic formula, but here’s hoping that if nothing else you atleast enjoy it for what you think it’s worth. To me it was a hell of a lot of fun to put together and every last person on that list is deserving. What I might even be most proud of is the number of communities involved, and the future possibilities that that gives this list. The only rule I gave myself is that to be on the list the person had to be active over these last three months of the year… after that, what they’ve done has determined where they are.
I still haven’t even touched on two of the features I’m most proud of, the two features that close out this column. The first of which being none other then this first issue’s special feature. VS, which will no doubt return down the line, is when dream matches are given a very visual reality. Not only are you given a tale of the tape, and not only is a rundown given on what could happen… but a snapshot of the colossal meeting that would never happen is hand drawn especially drawn out in clean lines for this very special occasion. They say a picture is worse a thousand words as it is, anyway. This month’s ‘What If…’ clash of the titans was even chosen by a 32-man tournament, open to all those who have ever competed in this sport… and as the fans at the EWN Forumns (www.ewnweb.net) voted, the field was whittled down to two men. Keith Scott Zimmerman vs Kodiak Vic Creed. ‘Nuff said.
An old favorite feature of mine is the last word of each issue, and thus it’s only fitting that the one-on-one interview is called Last Man Standing. Now it’s nothing in-depth, don’t fool yourself… this won’t be Larry King Live, a Barbara Wawa Special or even Bitch With Mitch. It’s me taking those last ten minutes of the day and shooting the shit with the latest and greatest wrestlers out there. Whether the questions asked are completely asinine or actually have something to do with what’s currently happening in the career of the man or woman on the hot seat, well that’s to be seen. It’s just the fun of seeing where a handful of predetermined questions will take a conversation. Who’s first up to bat? None other then the Immortal Champion High Flyer. He might be without that I-net title, but after trying to bash one Rana Venenosa in the head with a sledgehammer at Countdown this past New Years Eve, you just know the Neighborhood Lunatic will prove to be no less entertaining.
With that said… enjoy the show. As it is, it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before and certainly nothing you ever expected.
Russel Harder casts the Alias Movie! !!OOC ZONE!!
Casting a character you have created, breathed life into week-in and week-out and have pushed to evolve into something more three-dimensional, with a certain actor/actress… is a very imperfect science. If not impossible, that is. :P Still, with that said, it’s quite fun to put yourself into such a position. Where you can imagine what you’ve written as a living and breathing, and have everybody else imagine what that might look like, too. Enough gushing though, before I start naming off picks of those cast as Alias, Alias’s family, friends… enemies… let me just say that I see the movie as more of a nationwide release with a nationwide budget. As opposed to either an indy or a blockbuster, that is.
Unless people took pay cuts… an indy sized budget wouldn’t keep the film afloat, buuut the story isn’t flashy enough for some exorbitant budget either. Now the movie wouldn’t be based around any one particular story or moment, but more the story of the character told in a diced vignette fashion… starting from the end and explaining how he got there. That sort of idea. Of course, seeing the characters that I’ll cast will also give more of an idea where that story would go, as long as you’ve followed Alias as a character ;), in the movie’s heavy noir style. Speaking of style, the movie in itself would have a rough feel to it, effects feeling more dirty and organic, if they are to appear along the way. Alias being Alias, and the world of professional wrestling being what it is… if you want to think of an all encompassing style of this movie about the Original Pulp Hero’s life and times, look towards Collateral or Fight Club, and that dirty night flim with a neon glare, kind of feel. Props to Dillon on that last idea. ;) Without further ado… let the casting begin…
Billy Crudup as ‘Flyboy’ Brian Sheffield
It could be said that Alias’s father is the most pivotal person of his story, aside from Alias himself. He’s the pivotal moment in a character absolutely built on his past, that sets that past in motion. And because of that impact on Chris, plus the effect it’s had on him being who he is and acting how he does even now… I would need someone who not only looks the period of the past (1960’s going into the 70’s) but also give the impression of how this talented man unraveled his life, thanks to his own problems. Not to mention this would all happen within a shorter introductory time in the film. I don’t want to stunt cast the part, but I don’t know of any indie actors really… sooo I’m going for the first man who comes to mind that I could honestly see as the ‘Flyboy’. That would be Billy Crudup (Almost Famous, Big Fish).
Naomi Watts as Rebecca Sheffield
The actress cast as Rebecca would have to follow that same criteria as Brian Sheffield. She needs to have a believable appearance for the 60’s and 70’s, though still feel timeless in the role. For all intents and purposes, Rebecca is the positive focus of Alias’s life, the ying to Brian’s yang… or vice versa, you know, however that works out. Watts (The Ring, Mullholland Dr.) seems to fit all of this, and still leave room for the unanswered strength within the character.
Vinge Rhames as ‘Eightball’ Tanner
Where Eightball comes into the story of the Original Pulp, is at a very rough and tumble part of his life. Probably the very pit of the rough and tumble, and what Rufus Tanner does is save Chris’s ass from the fire and gives him a second chance. Vinge Rhames (Pulp Fiction) is an elder statesman baaaadass, so he’d slip right into this role. He has the age and size to pull off the role, and is really at this best playing the crystal cool supporting type. Plus it doesn’t hurt that this character has evolved with the voice of Vinge in every word. heh
Vinnie Jones as SilverHAWK
Where Eightball was more of a hard as nails father figure, and partner in crime, SilverHAWK has always been the unapologetic big brother and no apologies kind of adversary for Alias. As you’ll also see (if you haven’t already skimmed ;)) Hawk is the first of a handful of characters that AREN’T mine, but who I’ll be casting for this Alias movie anyway, because damnnit they’re just that important to the story. I’m not in the market of casting wrestlers as wrestlers, that’d be cheating. Hopefully everyone will fit the part though, and speaking of which… save for the fact that he’d have to pull off an American accent, Vinnie Jones (Snatch, Gone in Sixty Seconds) has always been the man that I’ve seen, when I think of a live-action SilverHAWK. And I mean why not, Jones has made a career (after soccer) played tough as all fuck kind of guys… who might not be perfect, but are sometimes not that bad at all.
Mekhi Phifer as Osyrus
Though Mekhi (Clockers, Pain in Full) might not have the height (giving up *cough* 9 inches*cough* to Osyrus), he certainly has the style, the attitude and the overall feel of an enigmatic bulldog like O. Osyrus is in some ways the man that Alias could have been, if he hadn’t have grown a conscious. For all the antagonists that Alias has had, Osyrus is the antithesis, not always at the forefront of the picture… but most usually on a linear course. From there days in fEar, to Legends, to the King of Ages… never the on the same side, though not necessarily against one another.
Seth Green as Keith Scott Zimmerman
Of course, none of this could be said about everyone’s favorite smark. Okay, and once you stop laughing… I’ll give you the reasoning why I picked Seth Green (Buffy, Austin Powers series) for the role. *pause* You good? Right, who would be more perfect for this role? After a quick prophetic nose work, and a good fitting wig, you’ve GOT KSZ. Not only would Green give the size of Zimmerman, without the need for camera tricks, but lord knows he could pull any assortment of voices for Keith’s often off-target fanboy screaming, though most usually a variation of Stewie Griffin as the voice of KSZ. If you need anymore proof of Seth Green as KSZ… well he pulled off Scott Evil quite well, right? Right?! Well there you go.
Willem Dafoe as Sonny Silver
And while on the subject of evil… we’re brought to the casting of Sonny Silver. Also know as that jackarse, or the devil, to some. Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man, Shadow of the Vampire) would do a foreseeable spot on job of embodying the voice, mannerisms and otherwise insane actions of one Mr. Silver. The importance that Silver, in all his inscrutable ways, has had on Alias’s story… is both the Squared Circle months, and the characters current mind set and how he found himself in that position. Really, thanks can go to the unyielding evil that is Sonny Silver, in some ways. Now really, if you’ve seen Dafoe work, he can prove that he’s no less unendingly sane yet insane… evil yet… evil but damn manipulative.
Vigo Mortison as Mike Randalls
Of course there are those within the realm of pro wrestling that have had a positive impact on Alias. Even in the least intrusive or directly meant ways, at times. One of them being the masked man who fell into Alias’s direction by way of Rook Black, who at the time seemed like nothing but the mysterious jobber that he had made himself out to be, when for all intents and purposes he was one actually one of the most accomplished and revered pro wrestlers out there. Legendary and inheritably feared in his own right. A man who has an inherent knowledge of life through hard and down right bloody lessons. Go figure that he’d be one of three unintentional team players, in Invictus. I do believe Vigo Mortison (Lord of the Rings trilogy) has played that role before. You know, just saying.
Henry Rollins as Rook Black
Rook Black has proven on many occasions to be two things, heavy on the philosophy and heavy with the fists. The mans always got something on his mind, and it isn’t necessarily nice, but it’s never intrusive. He’s the gentleman’s goon, and always a choice conversation away when Alias is hanging out in the area and either of them is in the mood for conversation. From politics to pratfalls, and in-ring technique in-between. When you think of intimidating yet educated, where does that lead you? For me, and Pants too actually, that leads to Henry Rollins (the band Black Flag, Heat). Rollins, though cast in thug roles some of times, after he diverged from the punk rock scene, has proven to have quite the thoughtful head on his shoulders, no bullshit included, with his show on the Independent Movie Channel.
Carla Gugino as Monet Samuel
Now Carla Gugino (Spy Kids) has been know as the mom on Spy Kids, and probably seem a bit out of place with this eclectic cast, but honestly I need people who can be both loving and tough, ready to fight but not really wanting too. See, Monet Samuel plays a part in Alias’s younger days. It was around the time, in the mid 90’s, that Chris Sheffield both met and fell in puppy dog love with the young woman that would become his manager. And because of that relationship, and the tawdry things that kids of that age and occupation get into, that she seems to play a some what quieter, though no less important role in the present. As the mother of there child, Isabella, and the only parent that that child has really had since she was born. I do be Ms. Gugino could handle her own as things where brought more and more to the surface… and really, you know they will be.
Clive Owens as ‘Superstar’ Vince Jacobs
It’s been said that Clive Owens (Closer, King Arthur) is the 21st century Sean Connery. Only tougher. Really, that’s how I view the personality of Alias’s antagonist, at his core. SVJ and Alias go back to the start of each others careers in ACW, and honestly it only continues to boil between them because Alias almost ended SVJ’s career in ’96. Men who where once close friends, with the world as there’s to taken, bonded by hatred of all things because jealousy was stronger then any promise of admiration. SVJ is at times both charismatic and intense, an arsehole and uncaring about the process that unfolds in front of him. His obsession with the destruction of one man is buried under an apparent shield of self-promotion. Now Clive Owens would be the second Brit that I have picked, that would have to bring across an American accent, but I don’t think that’d be a problem for this Golden Glode winner when it comes to portraying the multi-time World Champion.
Berry Pepper as Alias
And possibly the casting choice you have all been waiting for… and it’s Barry Pepper as the title role. Why? You might ask. Well physically Pepper (25th Hour, Saving Private Ryan) nails the Alias look to a T, though honestly that’s just the tip… as a fantastic character actor, since his role in Private Ryan as the bible quoting sniper, Pepper has found himself in roles that he’s inevitably made himself nothing short of interesting to watch. He can play both subtle points and focal points with the blink of an eye, it seems, and really what he’s done so far has been understated, only because he hasn’t gotten that huge of a chance to really stretch his wings… though in this movie, it would be where he shines still, an ensemble environment. Bringing out all the quirks, and the ever growing nuances of a man built on a past where all the important decisions he’s had to make are wrong… but at least it’s seemed to have eventually lead to something right. Until the next war that is… be it an addiction, a ghost, or something so completely literal, it’s an anarchy’s lullaby.
But yep, those are my choices for the cast and characters of an Alias movie… which like every good adaptation, couldn’t hope to house every relationship Alias has had along the way, but atleast development one fine picture. And some of the characters might not be mine, but with a little help from most of the handlers of said characters, they’re atleast true to form of how the characters comes across for me. Enjoy the film, and please be sure to tip the annoying kid with the flashlight.
… with Russel David and ‘Cocky’ Craig Miles
David: Welcome to the first go around of Roleplay, the feature were my editors where crazy enough to agree to such an idea. What’s the idea? Well if you didn’t catch the One Man Rant explanation, my co-panelist and going to go down a list of current newsmakers, ones more or less unbeknownst to us. We’ll go back and forth, one of us asking the questions to the news making personality, and the other one actually pretending to be said personality. A lot of you know my fellow columnist here at Fwrestling.com and resident fWo, well…
Miles: Human Plague.
David: Well put. Let’s go to the first go around.
Miles: That’s slander and you know it!
● Craig Miles IS the fWo’s The Flying Frenchie
Miles: Oh zis is wonderful, I haven't showered in months. Ze women who don't shave zere pits? Magnifique!
David: Question time though, Flying Stereo-typical Frenchie. The fWo World Championship was changed hands 5 times in the last 3 months. Can you buck the trend and hold back your challengers for any longer then the previous four champions?
Miles: He's got a new finisher! Putting his arms over his head! ITS A KNOCKOUT! NOBODY GETS UP!
David: Craig! Stay in character!
Miles: YOUR MOM'S PUSSY SMELLS LIKE OLD CHEESE! That's better!
David: Way to answer the question... next up...
Miles: How much longer is zis? Oh don't worry; your chocolate snails aren't going anywhere!
● Russel David IS former tSCer, the fWo’s Keith Scott Zimmerman
David: Hey, it’s Craig’s boy! Well, aside from Rana I suppose. But yes… another one of Mile’s Boys of Brazil. [clears throat and snarls; most likely to get into character] Is it just me or is this idea going down faster then Gunn on Pulumbo, circa. 2002?!
Miles: Who the fuck are they?
David: They are those without the capacity to make it out of the midcard no matter how they're pushed. [pause] Imagine Sonny Silver... with gimmicks that where slightly less gay and you know what I'm talking about.
Miles: So you're telling me the Internet Title is mid-card?
[interrupts answer]
Miles: You're telling me Brand Frontier -> Vic Creed is the mid-card?
[interrupts answer]
Miles: I"m sorry -- what was the question?
David: What was the question?! What was my answer? Actually, let's just say 'When Frontier holds the World title as long as Creed did... is when Creed quits being such a pussy these days and the Internet title is won by a hack like Qui- I mean, Silver.' [pause] Okay, I think I lost my train of thought there somewhere.
● Craig Miles IS the CSWA’s and NFW’s Shane Southern
Miles: Ah just don't understand why y'all gotta be puttin' people down lahk t'at.
David: Uh, could you repeat that?
Miles: Lissen boy, ahm Shane Southern, I only repeat mahself when ah want.
David: Kay. Ahem, so people have come to call you the best pure wrestler in the business... and your CSWA World title win and showing in NFW don't hurt that accolade. Are you comfortable being put in that sort of light though? Having that much pressure put on ya?
Miles: Well lessee, I lost mah wife, lost mah girlfriend, had Hornet tryin' to blackmail mah ass. If its comfortable to sit on a (BLEEP!)in' pitchfork, then yeah -- its been fine out there for me.
David: Didn't realize that... then again, that didn't quite answer the question. Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you so you don't have to be liable to answer me?
Miles: Ah don't know, are y'all tryin' to get yer ass kicked?
David: You know, oddly enough... it always ends up being that second option. Hmmmm... On that note though, next up, the closer in this first of possibly many questionable to true to life portrails.
● Russel David IS former tSC, the fWo’s Sonny Silver
Miles: F(BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!) YOUR (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!) THIS MAKES ME SO (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!) COOL! I ALSO HAVE (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!)IN' TOURETTES!
David: Right. Nevermind then… I’m thinking Craig just nailed it with that one. I mean that right there is the width he’s shown so far in the fWo… which is hey, disappointing to see after watching him grow within the Squared Circle. Sigh. I think I’ve more or less ended the first Roleplay on that note.
Incase you’re wondering… Must Read TV is by no means a way that I pick out the top of the crop, in the four categories given. It’s the events that have grabbed me and given me a damn enjoyable time. It’s something that I, as a critic of things wrestling (with limited time and thus a limited scope of the landscape, naturally), want YOU as a reader of this column to go out and take a look at. That is, if you’ve not caught onto things and witnessed said event already. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy these pieces of wrestling goodness as much as I have… and with that said… my picks of prime viewing.
● Must Read RP Three Steps To Salvation – Karina Wolfenden – PRIME (http://www.theewe.net/community/showthread.php?t=3446) Style in the moment, it is. As is stated, wrestling is the supplier of the world’s finest adrenaline addicts. An unexpected and appreciated look at the ‘why they do what they do’ side of the business. Hey, PLUS, Peter Gabriel kicks things off with some nice introductory lyrics within quite an interesting layout. It’s original, fluid and it works. It’s the introduction of how a former RPWer found her way into her current federation, and then some. The ‘then some’ part explaining the getting inside the head of the daredevil’s most daredevilish moments. No wonder so many people pointed me the way of K-Wolf, when I asked which RP was a must read… so you, yes you, should read it too. Fine way to start this segment of the column, I gotta say. Oh, and speaking of segments.
● Must Read Segment Something Like A War – Eli Flair, Poison Ivy and Jim Dudley – fWo (http://www.fwowrestling.com/history/cgi/chapters.cgi?ruahh_112904&2004&&2) This might seem like a slightly odd choice to some… not for who’s in it, but what seems like an out of date moment it entails, but really, my reasoning is three fold. You can’t help but enjoy the relationship of Flair and Ivy, especially in this moment, where he’s given what seems like his last fleeting chance at the World Championship, something he had yet to win at that time… but something he had fought so hard for. Dudley is forced to act like slightly less of a dick at that moment, and if that didn’t catch people off guard, then his news did. And last but not least, it’s a fun little moment of explaining the continuity of the title situation at that time… and how they found themselves there. All in all, a good read that sets you running into the World title picture of 2005.
● Must Read Match Mike Randalls vs ‘The Original’ Jeff Garvin – Tuesday Night Wrestling 35 – tSC (http://circle.incomprehensibility.com/events/2004/1130/tnw-ch02.shtml) When it was all said and done, the crowd was chanting “Thank You!”, what more do you want to know? Go read. Now, I say!
● Must Read Show Primetime 500 – CSWA (http://www.cswawrestling.com/archives/2004/12/primetime500/) Of course there are a lot of shows, in the last quarter of 2004, that you should read. This is the ONE though. The 500th and the last? No, not really. What more could be said about it? Melton vs Southern? Branding Iron Match? Puuure insanity. Even if you don’t know the history the leads to this show, you’ll admire what transpires. That’s the CSWA though, so nuff said. Go. Read. Enjoy.
For the 4th Quarter [October, November, December] 2004 [4th Quarter Rank] Name (Fed); /-# (from 3rd Quarter Rank n/a); Highest Ranking; QOL – Quarters on List; Note/”Quote” [01] Rook Black (tSC) The fourth quarter of 2004 where career months for the man also known as The Life of the Mind. It could be said that Rook Black was the heart and soul of the Squared Circle throughout it’s nine month run… that connecting force between all the main players of the federation. Don’t be fooled about the fact that this makes Black sound like a warm and fuzzy kind of guy though. He road a progressively violent streak into October and a confrontation with Keith Scott Zimmerman, for his Evolutionary Championship. Black garnered victories over the likes of the School Girl, a closely contested tSC Championship title match loss against Sonny Silver and a time limit draw against Keith Scott Zimmerman at Sinners and Saints. During the month of November Black picked up an easy win over tSC newcomer Eric Lynn Moore, and alongside Alias, lost to the #1 contenders for the tSC Tag Titles, Thunderstruck after Alias was pinned. The reason Black is number one? On November 30th, Rook ended Sonny Silver’s three month reign, winning the tSC Championship on Tuesday Night Wrestling 36. “To be considered first among equals is the greatest honor that any individual can hope for. I am not better than these men just as I am not better than any man or woman or child in any life, in any struggle. But, every fan is essential. Every point of view of our attempts at entertainment is pivotal. To be considered among the best, let along be considered the best among them, is an event of such immense proportion that it threatens to make my heart stop, teasing me with ideas of apotheosis. While this award is for me, I must insist that it is not about me, but about the fans. Those who witness and watch, those who react and boo or applaud or cheer. To be considered to be among your favorites humbles me. I have never thought that I was worthy of your fame, your adoration, foolishly believing that cheers resulted from nuance or coincidence. I do not deserve this, and because I do not deserve it, I appreciate it all the more. As my role, my purpose ultimately is for your entertainment, I will continue to strive to provide as best I can for you and your interest. I know that I cannot help but be who I am, and though I thought this a weakness, a flaw, the fact that you've embraced me as the greatest inspires me to continue to strive, to continue to be myself in this confusing and twisted world/business, so that I might one day continue to be worthy in your eyes. Thank you so much. Expect more from me, as I plan to provide it in abundance.”
[02] Joey Melton (CSWA & NFW) - Not only was the one and only Melton the CSWA Champion, since before the beginning of 2004’s fourth quarter all the way up to the last day of the year, when he lost the title to Shane Southern, but Melton was also a semi-finalist in NFW’s Ultratitle playoffs, and has a shot to win the title as of the time these rankings are going to press. [03] Eli Flair (CSWA & fWo) [04] Sonny Silver (tSC) - “What? Only 4? What the S[BEEP!] is the matter with you people? I DESTROYED everybody in The Squared Circle and THIS is the thanks I get? Some retard has the AUDACITY to call me only #4? This is outrageous...I hope you all get hit in the face with red-hot pieces of sheet metal! I swear to Sonny if Max Danger or Keith Scott Zimmerman are higher than me on this list, I'll travel to both their homes and smash their faces in with a brick when they answer the door.” (Editor’s note: Max Danger was not eligible to be apart of the list due to his severe back injury that caused him to be inactive for most of the last quarter of 2004… and KSZ, as seen below, is 11th.) “YEAH, that's what I thought...bi[BEEP!]s!" [05] “Superstar” Vince Jacobs (ACW & fWo) [06] The Flying Frenchie (tSC & fWo) [07] Jason Hughes (Core) – It could be said that ‘Old School’ Jason Hughes has been one of the more underrated stars in the world of wrestling, up to this point. In terms of impact, that man has done a whole lot for Core Wrestling. Winning the Core Championship, for the third time, shortly before the beginning of 2004’s fourth quarter… he has done nothing short of making Core one of the more competitive federations out there. <[08] Shane Southern (NFW & CSWA) [09] Brand Frontier (fWo) – The last quarter of 2004, began and ended with Craig Miles… and what seemed like the fWo’s future in the balance. Though he continued to be that grand hero that people have come to expect him as, there was still no real end to the problem between he and Miles in sight, by the last day of the year. However, what Brand did gain was a renewed legacy and place in the halls of fWo lore, by winning the Wrestler of the Year tournament. [10] Michael Manson (NFW & WFW) [11] Keith Scott Zimmerman (tSC) [12] Alias (tSC & ACW) [13] Rana Venenosa (fWo) - “It's a privilege to be even considered for this sort of thing. It has everything to do with everyone's expectations and my potential. I am not in these guys league who I share this list with. I know this. It's true. I am young, and driven, but I recognize that I have so much to learn. I think that this is because so many people are putting faith in me, faith in regard to how I'll continue to improve, how I strive to learn more and more each day. I will do everything in my power not to disappoint. Thank you.” [14]Beast (EPW & A1E) [15] High Flyer (fWo) - Your Neighborhood Lunatic was another unlucky ex-champion, who held his title from before the start of the fourth quarter all the way until almost the last day of the year. The title was the fWo’s Internet Championship… and he lost it to the number thirteen spot on our list, Rana Venenosa at fWo’s Twilight PPV just two weeks short of New Years. Before that though he was an important part in the fight the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal. Garnering victories over Nick Brandish, Black Quicksilver, and Lance Knight among a flurry of S5S driven no contests. Finally battling to a no contest against Craig Miles before ending the year against Rana the night after, unable to regain the Internet title on New Year’s Eve. [16] “the Devil’s Advocate” Dave Morey (tSC) [17] Nick Worrell (Core) [18] Quinton May (ACW & tSC) [19] Dan Ryan (NFW & CSWA) [20] “Cocky” Craig Miles (fWo) – “I blame Mega Job.”
Keith Scott Zimmerman [tSC] vs Kodiak Vic Creed [fWo]
Giving up five inches, and 150 pounds, not to mention a countless amount of strength… one would have to say that Keith Scott Zimmerman would have to be insane if he thought he could face and defeat KVC in a fare fight. Well, hell, maybe he would have actually gone insane before the fight… and maybe, just maybe you don’t know who the Dean of the Digital Mafia is, because especially against a man like Creed, he wouldn’t be fighting fare.
Nevertheless this was set to be an otherwise classic battle between the two. With all the archetypes to play off of, too.
Big vs Small
Size vs Speed
Power vs Technique
Status quo vs Smarkdom
Measuring stick vs... Magic stick?
KSZ looked to wear Creedzilla down early, avoiding any real direct contact, and all locking up, and instead going for his larger opponents legs. The plan was to make him as mobile as possible, and take away his push. Otherwise keeping his distance or running like hell when necessary. Even the best laid plans can be over turned though, because before long KVC did indeed get a hold of Zimmerman. Using his size advantage The Juggernaut tore into the Patron Saint of Work Rate… keeping a hold of him, to refrain much movement from the usually quick on his feet Zimmerman. An over the head belly-to-belly suplex garnered a long two count.
You had to give Zimmer credit, if nothing else; he was a persistent son of an itch.
Creed looked to follow things up with his own selection of harsh triple powerbombs called the Shockwave, only for KSZ to sneak in a not so subtle low blow, followed by a quick as possible cradle piledriver to keep the Main Man down. From there the Pride of Berkley did his best to use the ring to his advantage over Creed, which of course meant Allison inserted herself into play whenever possible as well. When KVC stood to his feet, on his own power, Zimmerman was quick to take him back down with a flying clothline off the second rope. Soon enough he parlayed a straight-jacket neckbreaker into a very groggy and worn KVC, and he thought he could press his advantage. The big roid monkey was out on his feet after all. Best Brainbuster in the Business? Miles had proved it could work on…
Thing is, Miles gave up much less of a size advantage, and even though Zimmerman was a motherfunkin’ bulldog of a pro, he wasn’t Superman. Well… only to the online community…
The Kodiak’s eyes glistened with the fire of an awakened beast. He stayed on the ground… and instead pushed Zimmerman up into the air, ripping KSZ’s grasp of his neck cleanly away. Then brought the Messiah of Message Boards down from the Gorilla Press into a high angle DDT. The sight was to be seen, the over confidence had set in for Keith Scott, only to be dispersed. Maybe next time, maybe, but not today.
The three count was elementary.
Victor: Kodiak Vic Creed via pinfall
w/ Immortal Champion High Flyer of the fans Wrestling organization This interview is pre-dated “yesterday” and no nothing else in this column is outdated, this is just up to date. The last piece. Natch.
Russel David: I’m thinking I might as well get this out of the way, if you don’t mind. You’re infamous for being crazy and insane, a lunatic some might say, and yet… you seem to be pretty sane to me, right now.
High Flyer: We'll get back to the who's calling me a lunatic question later so I may punish them, but let's just say the moon isn't full right now. Or it could be the tranquilizers. Or the Sedatives. Or Zoloft. Wait, I don't take any of those. Hmmmmm....
RD: heh, Point taken. Though while on the subject, of the lunatic stuff, not the Zoloft... though we'll get back to that later, what's the craziest fan experience you've ever had?
HF: I don't think I can name just one. I mean, look at my career. Sure, it started off normally, but then I started selling snow and traveling through time and people thought I accidentally killed Abraham Lincoln and THEN I went crazy. I'd say people sending me snow in the mail was a bit insane, but it's a common thing. In fact, I still get the occasional package from Alaska. People in Honolulu send me Invoices for Snow deliveries, things like that. There was this one guy who just stayed out on my lawn for like, an entire year inside a shopping cart. I thought he was my biggest fan so I let him tag along with me in my IWO career for a while. Turns out he was just homeless. You might know him as Eddie Cheno, or not. Depends if you know the underground seedier elements of society.
RD: Eddie Cheno, yeah I know the name, he was one of those Asylum types of recent memory. And you're telling me he got his first chance in the business by staying on your lawn in a shopping cart for a year? Wow, the way some people find there way into professional wrestling. So okay, I was going to save this for later on in the interview but since it was brought up, I just have to say it. Got snow?
HF: Of course. How much do you want? Fifty bucks per foot for a suburban city. Urban cities cost a bit more, they're typically larger.
RD: Makes sense... I suppose... but I'll talk to you once the interview is done, about that. Yep, off the topic of craziness though… maybe. You've got all the power in the universe… what do you do with it?
HF: First, all reality television would be banned. Second, I would take control of Fox so Arrested Development wouldn't be cancelled. Third, I'd give President Bush an unlimited supply of salty pretzels. Fourth, Simple Plan and Anthony Lloyd Webber would be killed. Fifth, create my own religion. Sixth, commit mass suicide to return to our home planet Blaterino where we would live forever in bliss with my religious fanatics. Seventh, come back to life and laugh at those that believed me. Eighth, eat lots of ice cream and never get fat. Ninth, combine golf and Ozzfest. Tenth, feed Gizmo after midnight. Eleventh, laugh in victory at Superman's grave. Twelfth, do away with the number thirteen. Fourteenth, eat lots of ice cream. Fifteenth, win all the world heavyweight championships in the world, melt them down, and create a golden robotic body to house myself in. Sixteenth, donate my body to charity when I grew too old to compete. Seventeenth, continue competing anyway. And eighteenth, wrestle an alligator on the Sun.
RD: Kaaaay. Um, I wouldn’t have thought of that… any… of the that … uh, speaking of power, you’re only the second Immortal Champion… third if you count Ender’s possible, if not questionable win and subsequent loss of the title. What do plan on doing with a title that has a history like that, or has it currently taken a backseat to what you want to accomplish within other ventures?
HF: Honestly, when I won it, it was simply to spite Kinkade, so I didn't have a long term plan. I lost sight of the title shortly after winning the Internet Championship, and no one's called me out on it. I mean, I'm ready, willing, and able to defend it against anyone and everyone who wants a crack, but I can't defend the belt without a challenger. It's also hard to get the fWo to sign off on such a thing, since it's a belt held from two defunct federations. Two federations that directly competed and, in the case of the Asylum, vandalized and attempted to destroy the fWo. But with Kinkade recently returning, Token Weed and Cheno all in fWo territory, I could see a few interested parties in the future. And who knows, maybe they'll be a time I show up in CSWA, or NFW, or Jolt, or PRIME to defend this title, but once again, that's another thing that has to go through my employer, due to my contract.
RD: Understood yeah, certainly. Do you remember the moment that made you think ‘Hey, I want to be a professional wrestler.’?
HF: Not originally. I grew up in a wrestling family so I was always on the road, well, until the age of six. The idea musta implanted itself at a young age. I do remember shunning wrestling for a time during my late youth/early adolescence, but that ended gradually in the early 90's before I saw the 1992 Royal Rumble. Not only did Ric Flair last through 29 other guys to win the World Heavyweight Championship, but I saw the highlights of Shawn Michaels superkicking Marty Jannetty through the barbershop window. It was right about then that the ol' childhood dream re-kicked in, and I headed to Mexico shortly after that.
RD:Ten count, word association, time. Rana Venenosa.
HF: My Internet Title.
RD: Internet Title.
HF: My property.
RD: World Title.
HF: Ultimate goal.
RD: Brand Frontier.
HF: Eats paint chips.
RD: Joey Malone.
HF: Good friend, scary competitor.
RD: Jim Dudley.
HF: An enigma to me.
RD: Craig Miles.
HF: Cool antichrist.
RD: Kellen Kinkade.
HF: Hot sister.
RD: Team V.I.A.G.R.A.
HF: Family.
RD: Your legacy.
HF: Still being carved.
RD: You where a big indy hero for years, with your stints of varying length in IWO, Jolt, Action and aWc. They where feds with varying audiences nation-wide, though still indy at heart. Now you’ve been in fWo for a while, and it’s global. You’re big time…
HF: It's not the first time. IWO used to be global for a while before financial problems and executive bickering and the talent departures killed us. But with the fWo, it's a whole new monster. While IWO had shows in Germany and Japan and Austraila, we never had full tours where we'd go months without stepping onto American soil. It's amazing, learning the cultures of the world and experiencing the experience of all different kinds of life. Not to mention that everyone thought my career was over after the WWR/IWO/jOlt folded. I had that nagging knee injury that desperately needed surgery and people thought I'd never return. So it was really fulfilling when I came back to aWc, and even more fulfilling when fWo flew me into Africa to wrestle Great Dragon. I musta impressed someone because, well, here I am. I honestly couldn't imagine what it'd be like, because while the first time with IWO was semi-global, we basically stayed near the continental United States. Not to mention the fact that I wasn't married with a family. It's been difficult, the traveling is strenuous and if I never see another airport again in my life, it'd be too soon. It's not all sunshine and raspberries.
RD: I definately hear what you're saying, and my question actually pertanes to that sunshine and raspberries vein of pro wrestling, you could say. Popular pro wrestlers going Hollywood, is at least trying to make itself all the rage these days. Not to mention it seems like the fWo, in its own way connected to the Disney corp, is really enjoying a boom in popularity these days. KVC is on his way to sealing a production deal, among others. Would you ever want to be involved in the movie or TV industry, yourself?
HF: I have a love/hate relationship with the entertainment business, but there's much more love than there is hate. I doubt I would ever be a center piece, I'm not that confident of my acting ability to display the range of emotion needed for a main character, but I'd love to guest star on something like Scrubs or Arrested Devleopment or even a show like the Shield, get my feet wet if you will. I've also kicked around ideas for television shows, but most of them haven't gotten past that idea stage. I could see myself running some sort of animated Adult Swim-esque show, providing voice over work and using a few of the celebrities I've met to my advantage. But right now I'm focusing on my career, so any sort of Entertainment career has taken a backseat. I may just wait myself outta my opportunity though, which is something I'm fearful of. But then again, I'm a control freak, so I'd want to have full control over my product, something very few networks are willing to give to an unproven talent. So, to answer your question, Yes, but not at the moment, unless a perfect opportunity falls into my lap.
RD: And who knows, that could be just around the corner. I already watch enough Adult Swim and Arrested Development, so hell I'd look forward. I'm finally going to let you go though. Been a pleasure talking with you, nothing short of good ol' time. Any last words before we put the first edition of 'The Mark' on the out and out?
HF: If you like me, send me five dollars. Otherwise, I hope I don't bore you too much.
RD: Oooo yeah, ditto on that.

Russian Roulette wraps up...``xtholzerman``x"The Queen of the Ring" Lindsay Troy, who battled for about three months as Dis, shocked the world and ended Beast's epic Empire Pro World Championship reign.
Dis wrestled Beast to one of the all-time epic matches in any promotion, and dispite the not-so-honorable ending, the masked wrestler claimed the title.
What happened next shocked everyone in attendance. Dis disrobed to reveal that it was the Queen, it was the Queen all along, dammit. Despite many rumors that it was another Troy, Hornet or maybe even the erstwhile Dark Angel, Lindsay Troy was the one who played Empire Pro like a violin. Who knows where this is going to go, but I can't think Cross or Beast will be too happy about it. The second Dis made his appearance, but he (or she?) was not unmasked.
In other results, Cross survived two grueling matches on a bum knee to gain the number one contendership to Troy's newly won title. He defeated Steve Savoy in a cage and then took out the Anglo Luchador, JA, afterwards with a seemingly impossible moonsault. After the match, when JA was congratulating Cross, Savoy attacked both, resulting in a pull apart brawl between the former A1E Cyber Champion and the man previously known as Shawn Hart.
In other matches, Blitz won Tag Team Turmoil and the Empire Tag Titles, and they were summarily attacked by Troy Windham's Entourage, August De La Rossi and the Mysterious Zoltan. Sebastian Dodd eked out an Intercontinental Championship victory over former Champ, the returning Jonathan Marx. John Doe, or Isaac Byrne, whatever you want to call him, defeated Troy Douglas in a brutal inferno match. Karl "The Dragon" Brown earned teh right to the Dragon nickname when he defeated Eric Davis. And Jason Payne defeated Adam Benjamin.
Also making his return at the event was Vladimir Vlachinko. With his past history with Lindsay Troy, who knows what kind of impact this will have on the title picture.``xEEEpllyZlyGCOqgQNA``x1110890386``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe Informer``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/host/EmpirePro``x...and you'll never believe who Dis turns out to be.``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``xEmpire Pro``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
West Ready for Primetime?``xNFW``xIf the NFW Western Conference wasn't starting to feel like the War of the Worlds, the two landmark contracts signed today certainly could justify it. Today, Seymour Almasy and Angelo Deville inked their names to compete in NFW's Season Two under the West banner.
For those unfamiliar with the wildly popular Primetime Central (PTC), 'The Final Fantasy' Seymour Almasy and 'The Crimson Angel' Angelo Deville are widely considered the two top superstars on that wrestling circuit.
Almasy, most recently named 2004 Co-PTC wrestler of the year, and Deville, the GTT3(256 man tounament) winner in 2002 signifies New Frontier's push to expand its boundaries over any circuit platform in the sport.
Known as "The Devil's Don," Deville has competed in such landmark federations as PRIME, RPW, OSE, as well as dominated the now defunct WEEF. Deville also held several World Titles around the circuit, just recently overcame fellow newly signed Brandon Youngblood in PRIME, and earned the honor of becoming the inaugural WO/PTC Universal Champion a couple of years ago.
Quentin Sullivan disclosed the contract for Deville, which will net him $850,000 prorated over the regular season. Furthermore, Deville can add $500,000 to that, if he advances to the finals.
Meanwhile, Seymour Almasy may be one of the smallest wrestlers (175 lbs.) competing today, but that doesn't mean the West Conference isn't dealing with another championship calibre athlete.
As mentioned, Almasy secured co-winner's honors on the PTC WOTY vote for the 2004, he's also a former PTC Global Champion, as well as the winner of their inaugural Cruiserweight Tournament Champion. He's looking to add to that collection plate in the newly formed PTC Tag Division.
Currently, Almasy competes in the ACW, where he holds two titles: The Television Championship and Scorpion Fighting Championship.
Many fans will primarily know Almasy from his success in the UWF, where he still competes. A dozen title reigns, one of them the longest as World Champion. Obviously, what Almasy doesn't have in size, he can make up in the skills department.
Almasy signed a $1M regular season contract that will be pro-rated accordingly, while he'll have an opportunity to make $500,000 in bonuses if he qualifies and advances during the Ultratitle Playoffs.
Furthermore, rumour has it that ESEN TV officials are hoping to secure a television programming deal with 'The Final Fantasy,' in hopes of producing either a show geared towards the gaming nation, or a Diary/Reality type show that can be marketed to Almasy's huge popularity in Asia.
With these two signings, only four contracts are left open for business in the Western Conference. Quentin Sullivan promised that there will be at least three more press conferences this week. Two dedicated to any further contract signings, and one outlining the Preseason and Regular Season Western Conference Schedule.``xEEEplupFEujGgwCLKf``x1110843914``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xNatrone Rice``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xIf the NFW Western Conference wasn't starting to feel like the War of the Worlds, the two landmark contracts signed today certainly could justify it.

Apocalypse Now? West Signs Antichrist Asylum Legend``xNFW``xIts become apparent that the men walking into the Western Frontier aren't just here for glory, or winning the Ultratitle. There's an amalgam of brutality, honor, hatred, vengeance, power, and physical hazards waiting to explode constantly for possibly the next year.
As Anne Mystic announced the contract signing of Steve Christ with a slick grin and twinkle in her eye, it completed a dangerous trio of recruits for the co-Chairwoman of the conference, and outspoken opponent of Quentin Sullivan, and New Frontier Wrestling in general.
Steve Christ is known for many things, but there's no hiding that Anne Mystic persuaded him to a contract enabling her to have an enforcer out there each show that is every bit crazy as he's dangerously skilled.
Christ primarily known for his Asylum stay in the United Kingdom, also competed in FMW for a short time. However, it was in the Asylum where he not only captured their top title, but also won their Extreme and UK championships.
Furthermore, if anyone was wondering how Eddie Mayfield and Anne Mystic would react to Deacon's inclusion into the West, I don't think anyone's looking past the man that bills himself "The Antichrist Superstar."
Should be interesting if Michael Manson (our own AntiChrist Superstar) and him ever cross paths, if they do.
The Steve of Fight signed to a $500,000 pro-rated regular season contract. However, the possible incentive money for the "Fourth Coming" of Christ equals that same amount.
$250,000 will kick into his contract if Christ can qualify for playoffs competition. Moreover, another $500,000 can pile up in Christ's bank account if he advances to the Ultratitle Championship at Wrestlebowl 2.
The contract certainly proves Anne Mystic knows that with the opportunity to make a large income, Steve Christ won't pull any Asylum stunts or attacks on referees that could get him booted from competition.
"I don't know who the fuck these people are. Regardless, I enjoy the opportunity to beat the shit out of them under the auspices of whoever the fuck's signing the checks."
We couldn't have said it any better, Steve.
...and things look like they can't get much worse.``xEEEpVlyuVypdgGRWAB``x1110590056``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xKerry O'Connor``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xApparently, The Power Of Steve is healthy, living and compelling the NFW West. As of this afternoon the former Asylum Champion Steve Christ is back and signed up for Season Two, only leaving six more open contracts to fill for the West Conference.``x``xnfwnews.gif``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
East Cruising for some Payne!``xNFW``xNeither are strangers to each other, neither are strangers to the New Frontier, and if history has showed us one thing with Cameron Cruise and Jason Payne - it's that alot of wrestlers will be needing bruises and pills.
The "Crippler" and 1/2 of the iconic "Dogs of War" were signed to NFW East contracts, ironically the first time the two had been in the same building ever since Jason Payne showed up late last year with an attack on Cameron Cruise for no apparent reason.
Jason Payne is best remembered for his courage against ex-tag team partner Chris McMillan as he overcame a serious in-ring neck injury to secure a win in a Dog Collar match. Soon after, Payne went on the proverbial IR - only to return near the end of his rehab with attacks on the aforementioned Cruise and Steel Viper.
The Basham-Schultz Wrestling Academy legend has agreed to a $500,000 pro-rated contract with the East Conference, as well as a potential $250,000 in bonus money should Payne prove he's back from his injury and be able to compete in the playoffs.
Payne issued a heartfel acceptance and embrace with President Quentin Sullivan, overjoyed to be given this kind of opportunity after nearly losing the ability to wrestle ever again, just one year ago.
Certainly, we all know that might be the only good side we see in Jason Payne for the rest of the year as now everything will turn to business for him...and a focus on the Ultratitle Trophy.
Meanwhile, Cameron Cruise inked his name on a $750,000 contract to be pro-rated over the season, as well as the same potential bonus money of Payne. However, Cruise probably had ulterior motives for the signing as there's no question there's more than a few scores for Cruise to settle with the East Conference now that his wife isn't under any "contractual obligations" as he sarcastically remarked during his acceptance speech.
Cruise advanced past the Wild Card round last season losing to Jonathan Marx in the Divisional Round. Cruise noted that besides settling a few scores with the likes of Michael Manson and Beau Michaels "if he has the tits to show up," the namesake of the Cameron Cruise Project also stated that his primary goals are to "improve my performance in the playoffs and hopefully walk away with the trophy."
Cruise remarked that he was really looking forward to competing for the FZM in Tokyo, as well as "all the great fans of Japan who know the real thing when they see it. I hope I can prove that, if anything, I'm the real deal."
Cruise and Payne are the seventh and eighth competitors to sign under the NFW East banner, Quentin Sullivan hinted the maximum roster during the season would probably be 16, but most likely will be around 12 or 13 to start.``xEEEpVpkkVlwrtFFaMn``x1110505858``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xAdam Nimoy``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xOne may be coming for Vengeance, another may be back to prove something...either way, the atmosphere in Tokyo looks to get alot tougher as Cameron Cruise and Jason Payne will be back in the NFW Fold under the East Conference banner for Season Two.``x``xnfwnews.gif``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Sinners Searching for the Devil?``xNFW``xCraig Miles-Eddie Mayfield.
Mike Randalls-Marcus Cameron.
Eli Flair-Troy Windham.
Tom Adler-Avery Prosser.
Rook Black-Jeff Garvin.
Alias-Brandon Youngblood.
Deacon...?
So far, the masterminds behind the Seven Deadly Sins of Season One have taken their time finding the right response to the surprise of Deacon showing up at Wrestlebowl in Craig Miles' corner of all places.
Seven Feet of God's Vengeance baring their eyes down upon Eddie Mayfield and Anne Mystic for the mental games they threw Deacon into with Craig Miles last year. A legendary feud, which turned into a horrifying moment...only admitted at Crashmas...ironically for the Christian superstar.
After the Brandon Youngblood/Jeff Garvin signing announcement earlier this week, Anne Mystic (co-Chairwoman of the West Conference) reacted to reporter's questions about her plans to try and "even the odds" in terms of the current roster.
"Oh I don't think we're worried, as of last night, Eddie still thought Miles signed Jennifer Garner. We've already been working on the Deacon situation and if we have to pull another ghost out of the asylum," Mystic said with a wink before entering her limousine, "then we'll find the best one money can buy."
Its caused a loud buzz in the wrestling community over what the cryptic threat could mean...
Is Nixon's (Craig Miles' wife) father coming back? After all, Mayfield and Mystic are responsible for his escape from an asylum. He's also responsible for blackmailing Craig Miles into his crusade against Deacon, achieved by kidnapping his own daughter.
What about Damien Xeno? A historic archnemesis of Deacon.
Or what about The Asylum itself? With Joe Campbell presumed dead, nobody would be shocked if Mayfield or Mystic recently learned of the organization and the possible guns they could hire.
Without a doubt, we'll have our answer soon as Anne Mystic has scheduled a Press Conference for tomorrow. Lord knows, Deacon better be watching.``xEEEpVppZEkVoHmrGOz``x1110504312``xwire``x56481091824871``xNatrone Rice``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``x``x``x``xthursdaywire.gif``x``xNFW``xIn the War that Will Win the West, who will fight Faith?``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
West Hits For the Triple Crown``xNFW``xIn what's turning out to be a high stakes recruiting week for the West Conference, a significant amount of chips were pushed into the middle of the table this morning as NFW West Co-Conference Chairwoman Anne Mystic confirmed that two of the most dynamic rulebreaking wrestlers of the past two years were now on the NFW West roster.
For fans hiding under a rock on the (f)wrestling circuit, not only have Garvin and Youngblood recently battled each other for the Jolt Triple Crown Championship on their last PPV, but also had tour stops in the Squared Circle where both men have a brutal history with 'The Wolf' Mike Randalls, Alias and Rook Black. They've even formed a tenuous tag team partnership in PRIME Wrestling.
Garvin may be remembered by fwrestling.com enthusiasts for his brief stay in the NFW South which was marred by a nagging back injury, which looks to be completely healed judging by his performance on the last tSC show vs. Randalls, as well as his recent string of success in Jolt. An important note is that Garvin was the last reigning Action! Wrestling World Champion by most hardcore fans of that promotion due to a failed rebirth in 2004.
Yet, more importantly in terms of how big the Ultratitle has become may be the Brandon Youngblood signing at this particular moment. With a dynamic starting Jolt roster to begin with, Youngblood outlasted the competition on his way to becoming the restarted fed's inaugual Triple Crown Champion with his victory over (ironically) Jeff Garvin.
Currently, not only does NFW have the returning Ultratitle Champion in Michael Manson, but the other finalist in Shane Southern - who currently holds the CSWA World Championship, no less. "Total Elimination" Eli Flair is the current fWo World Champion with a pending Cyberslam date against Deacon.
Therefore, signing the Triple Crown champion from Jolt, in a strange sense is truly a Triple Crown moment in the industry as many fed's current champions are going to be fighting for the Ultratitle in the New Frontier.
Even by signing Garvin, NFW is acknowledging the history of Action! Wrestling, then include Mike Randalls being the last (f)wrestling Unified Champion and there's more diversified talent from different promotions than ever seen before in the sport.
Meanwhile, with Rook Black and Alias' contracts somewhat setting a market for incoming West Conference wrestlers, there were a few surprises in today's contracts.
Brandon Youngblood has seemingly cashed in with his Jolt Triple Crown Championship, receiving a $25,000 signing bonus, $1.25M pro-rated regular season contract with a $50,000 per playoff win bonus. Consider the possible merchandising sales, and well, Youngblood stands to make a lot of money if he lasts the whole season.
Jeff Garvin's contract was definitely more unique, but may provide a foretelling of how NFW's television network, ESEN plans to expand its programming over Season Two.
Garvin didn't receive a signing bonus, but will get paid a hefty sum of $750,000 pro-rated over the regular season. However, if Garvin finishes the regular season without injury a $250,000 roster bonus will kick in making it an exact $1M for the regular season. Moreover, if Garvin holds up the Ultratitle Trophy at the end of the season, he's due to make at least $250,000 in bonus money.
Not only that, but Garvin is slated to host TWO hourly television programs on ESEN. First, "Jeff Garvin's Classics" a program dedicated to Garvin's own legendary ring experiences as well as some special ones that he's watched over the years. Second, "Garvin's Picks from the Vault," a program in which Garvin will review matches from NFW's classic days at The Vault nightclub in Baltimore, Maryland.
With Youngblood and Garvin signed, only seven contracts remain unsigned. However, judging by the roster so far and who NFW has already signed, filling those contracts should be no problem, but figuring out who gets them...
...might be impossible.``xEEEpFAyVykiSsDlqQb``x1110400162``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xKerry O'Connor``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xWithin 48 hours of the landmark Invictus signings, it didn't take long for Anne Mystic and Eddie Mayfield to recruit two of Invictus' greatest nemesis as 'The Original' Jeff Garvin and Jolt Triple Crown Champion Brandon Youngblood both were inked to Season Two deals early this morning.``x``xnfwnews.gif``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
West Under an Invictus Invasion?``xNFW``xOn the eve of another round of Monday Night Wars in the sport of wrestling, a silent deadly stroke cut through the industry as NFW's West Conference announced that former tSC 'the Championship' holders, Rook Black and Alias (Chris Sheffield) had reached deals to compete under their banner for Season Two.
Considered two of the best wrestlers of 2004, both at one time holding top honors in the Squared Circle, it came as little surprise that New Frontier would attempt to sign the unrestricted Free Agent in Black, as well as the current All-Star Championship Wrestling superstar/legend.
Black and Sheffield had competed with 'The Wolf' Mike Randalls (one of the West's initial signings) as the alliance 'Invictus' for a good portion of 2004, until Randalls broke off from the group. Its been reported that Randalls was a big influence on both men coming to the Frontier, but the glory of the Ultratitle probably isn't lost on two top champions of 2004.
President Quentin Sullivan disclosed that Black's contract for the season is an $850,000 base contract with a ceiling of $1.5M if Black is holding up the Ultratitle Trophy in victory at Wrestlebowl II.
Apparently, Chris Sheffield's contract was worked much differently as Sheffield is due to make $470,000 every three months (plus added payment incentives if he makes it into the play-offs and/or wins the Ultratitle), and came with a $5000 signing bonus. With the contract set for the entire season, NFW has the right to sever the contract after any three month payment period if it looks as if Alias cannot compete at a competitive level due to work exhausion.
With Sheffield's short stay in the fWo, Sheffield's history dictates that added pressures outside of ACW may render him unable to finish the season.
The short-lived Squared Circle was considered the premier technical wrestling federation in the world before Harvard Avalon's untimely passing. By securing the rights of two out of the three Championship holders during its existence, the West has proven that amidst all the violence that there may be a committment to wrestling excellence, yet.``xEEEpkVZulENreuFdFX``x1110261081``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xKerry O'Connor``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xOn the eve of another round of Monday Night Wars in the sport of wrestling, a silent, deadly stroke cut through the industry as NFW's West Conference announced that former tSC World Champions, Rook Black and Alias (Chris Sheffield) had reached deals to compete under their banner for Season 2.``x``xnfwnews.gif``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

East Conference Announces Initial Season 2 Signings``xNFW``xThe Council of Elders from FZM didn't waste time in showing not only the world, but some of NFW's neighbors in the states that they don't intend to let anyone down in their inaugural season.
Quentin Sullivan is logging more miles than usual, but by the way the President smiled Saturday evening in Tokyo, you wouldn't have noticed it. Sullivan confirmed the returns of Michael Manson and Jonathan Marx to the ring of the Eastern Conference, then formally announced what had been rumoured in the last few weeks -- Shane Southern would be landing in the Land of the Rising Sun on the heels of Calvin Carlton folding the South amidst Joey Melton's decision not to return to the NFW South.
Southern wasted no time penning the contract once Michael Manson had formally signed to compete, but as usual these days, left the country without talking to the press.
With 3 of the 4 Season One Final 4 locked up, the Elders looked nearby as well as the (f)wrestling circuit to find 3 more well-known, and certainly heralded names.
With an honorable showing at Wrestlebowl, Maggot was given an offer to join the NFW East - his past successes in Japan probably a clincher in the deal. Maggot, primarily known in the states for his MBE glory days, actually began his career in Japan and could be a strong crowd favorite once the season begins.
After this announcement, the next two signings announced by Quentin Sullivan surely had the press estimating that Susano-O-No-Mikoto, head of the Tokyo Partnership, had not in the least resolved his legendary rivalry with Michael Manson.
'The Boy Who Destroyed the World' Felix Red was announced first, one of Manson's many rivals from World's Finest Wrestling, where Red currently is a finalist in the Presidential race. Red deemed one of 2004's breakout stars, has never competed under the NFW banner, but certainly is not a stranger to who will be his division rivals. Certainly, not Marx nor Manson.
Someone that has competed under the NFW banner did return, and frankly, the loud buzz in the press room didn't stop for minutes after the announcement.
A former Ultratitle champion, AAWC World Heavyweight Champion and quite possibly one of the most evil minds in wrestling will make his return to the ring.
That's right, the master of the White Trash Wipeout - Doctor Silver. The legendary superstar, ironically, has been linked romantically to Ryoko O-No-Mikoto...that's right, the GRANDAUGHTER of the head of the Council of Elders.
Manson and Silver are also no stranger from their rivalry in World's Finest Wrestling as well. Time will only tell if the Eastern Conference can handle all these personalities and egos without backlash.
Quentin Sullivan closed the proceedings with a few hints towards what else was in the works with the East, including a statement that there will still more returning NFW wrestlers that would be announced this coming week once the contracts were worked out.

The Frontier's Horizon``xNFW``xWell, we're a couple of weeks removed from New Frontier's highest rated telecast since its inception in 2000 and from what I'm hearing, this only has further catapulted the league past the stratosphere of longtime rivals.
Why?
Rumour has it that the FZM buy-in was located somewhere between 100 - 150 million dollars, which included any rights to NFW's archives and future in the industry. The biggest winners from this deal?
Miles, Sullivan, Manson and Castor Strife -- each getting their designated percentage from the deal struck by Sullivan and Manson after Anne Mystic became a legal Board of Directos member.
Now, keep in mind -- that was just the buy-in, which is also rumoured to be nearly twenty times NFW's current deal with former CSWA CEO Chad Merritt to rent the Ultratitle.
So with more income pouring in, a new market in Japan which has been projected to break their top 3 by the end of the first year...New Frontier Wrestling has more than enough money in the bank for ESEN Television to rival the NFL Network as the top rated one-sport focused network on cable and satellite television.
How to make this work?
Sources have said that NFW is actively purusing what are considered to be the top 45 wrestlers over the past 3 years. Leaving no stone unturned from CSWA, fWo, jOLT, ACW, PRIME, WFW, EPW, theAsylum, as well as a few exceptional young talents that can be groomed in a homegrown environment.
With a roster unparalleled, New Frontier feels that it can truly say that the Ultratitle is the most dynamic trophy/accolade that a wrestler can accomplish in the sport, which in turn would certainly magnify media coverage and merchandising sales astronomically.
Inside sources have also stated that one of those feds in particular has become so interested in the rags to riches to global prominence story of the federation that's its trying to hop on the train with a co-sponsorship deal.
With eleven contracts remaining to be signed in the West, a press conference scheduled for later in Tokyo concerning the East...the next week should provide one of the most exciting breaking story periods for this sport to come in a long time.

West Conference Officially Announced``xNFW``xYou throw Eddie Mayfield and Craig Miles into the same room and you'd expect it to implode. Yet, March 3, 2005 -- seated on opposite sides of a room, the former tag team partners turned archnemesis attended a press conference that unveiled quite possibly the plans to their own destruction.
It was haunting, stark, but easily news that may propel New Frontier Wrestling into the top global wrestling organization for 2005. Orated by Quentin Sullivan, but designed by the former Professionals themselves, Fwrestling.com was proud to learn that in NFW's Season 2, a newly created West Conference will indeed contain some of the deepest, long-seeded rivalries known to the circuit.
Twenty contracts were drawn up and now apparently Eleven remain as Miles, Mayfield, "Mr. Magnificent" Tom Adler, "Total Elimination" Eli Flair (fWo World Champion), Troy Windham, Deacon (2005 fWo Bodycount winner), "The Last Angry Man" Marcus Cameron, Avery Prosser and "The Wolf" Mike Randalls have all penned their names to be apart of the inaugural West roster.
Quentin Sullivan elaborated that Craig Miles and Eddie Mayfield will be in charge of recruiting, but that all participants still have to be approved by NFW's Board of Directors.
President Sullivan also stated that perhaps once this "War" settles, the aftermath will have produced a legacy that attracts the best wrestlers to the New Frontier for more than just this season.
Its too early to tell what kind of wrestlers the remaining eleven contracts will entail, but many pundits are looking at the initial signings and drooling over the possibilities of not only who would be crazy enough to jump into this vendetta-filled conference, but also...who's good enough to get approval to compete?

NFW Season I Complete!``xNFW``xWell, we went 9 months past schedule, but on a night hailed by critics as a legendary event, Michael Manson defeated Shane Southern in an epic 2 out of 3 pinfalls match, 2-1. We'd stop at the most important match to hit the circuit in 7 years, but when six or seven veritable legends also show up to spawn a new conference...you might have a little to say about that too.
The scene was WRESTLEBOWL ONE, live from North Charleston Colesium in South Carolina, where on the heels of an explosive CRASHMAS, New Frontier Wrestling was poised to make history one way or another.
In the main event, it was the match the world had been waiting for since 2000. Michael Manson and Shane Southern, considered the top two athletes on the (f)wrestling circuit for the last several years stepped into the ring for the first time against each other since 7 years ago.
Longtime fans made analogies to the infamous 1998 Unified Title Tournament Ironman Finals, where Mike Randalls defeated Hornet. In a match that seemed to build on that note and evolve even more, Manson and Southern battled like warriors through 3 different stipulations, including a Ladder Match and 30 minute Ironman.
In the end, Manson was able to procure the victory in a somewhat controversial finish, which was explained by Quentin Sullivan as such:
"At the end of the thirty minute limit, Shane Southern was in position for a pinfall, but due to Referee Greg Herpin take a vicious shot to his head -- he couldn't in full conscience determine whether or not he made the 3 count in time. With that knowledge, we couldn't cede the pinfall to Southern and awarded the Ultratitle to Michael Manson."
The ending has spawned some internal debates among the NFW's newly created Board of Directors as to whether an Instant Replay system should be employed in next year's playoffs.
The ceremony was cut short, however, as Shane Southern in an act of disgust, defiance and disrespect attacked Michael Manson from behind -- delivering a Triple Powerbomb through the 8 tiered trophy that will have to be rebuilt for next season.
Southern was not available for comment, but one has to figure that his feud with Manson will only grow now that rumours are swirling that both men will complete in the newly renovated NFW East Conference, which will be located in the heart of Tokyo.
Other matches included Lindsay Troy vs. Maggot, Beau Michaels vs. Cameron Cruise, as well as the final 12 minutes of the 2004 All Star War Games.
In a fitting continuation from Crashmas, where Eddie Mayfield and Troy Windham orchestrated an attack on Craig Miles, also revealing their alliance with Avery Prosser...
...well, to say the least, Miles exacted revenge in a shocking moment as Tom Adler, Eli Flair, Deacon and Mike Randalls crashed a mock UWA World Title ceremony for Troy Windham.
Details are sketchy, but contract negotiations are in the works to create an NFW West Conference, where Craig Miles, Mike Randalls, Deacon, Eli Flair, Avery Prosser, Tom Adler, Troy Windham, Eddie Mayfield, Marcus Cameron will all be under the same roof for 20 weeks -- pretty much guaranteeing one of the nastiest, brutal, bloody wars to hit the (f)wrestling circuit since its first inception in the early 90's.
Look for Circuit News in regards to any contract signings that are made official for both conferences in the future, as well as check out the Wire section for any columns, or rumours regarding the upcoming Season -- which experts are slating to exceed anything inside and OUTSIDE this circuit as the Road to the Ultratitle begins anew shortly.``xEEpAAkypZpaLJmyPsy``x1109929670``x(default)``x53481091834249``xNatrone Rice``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xWell, we went 9 months past schedule, but on a night hailed by critics as a legendary event, Michael Manson defeated Shane Southern in an epic 2 out of 3 pinfalls match, 2-1.

A wild Crossover invites a WILDER MASSACRE!``xAnthony Gundacker``xThis past Wednesday Night, The Hardcore Wrestling Association layed host to its Wednesday Night Classic- CROSSOVER, live from Mobile, Alabama..
A three match card, that absolutely tore down the Mobile Civic Center, I know- I was sittin' at the announcers booth.
To begin the show- Chris Knight defeated Asylum X after a series of SICKENING spots (including a leap from the top turnbuckle to the third row, resulting in a chairshot).. After a strenuous battle, Chris Knight came out victorious..
But that wasn't all, Next up.. President McCauleys pick to be HANDED the World Championship this Sunday Night.. Josh Generation, debuted against Steve Sanders!
Folks- When Mr. McCauley proclaimed that Josh Generation is an unstoppable beast, He was not kidding.. Generation immediately turned this hardcore rules contest into a war scene, finally resulting in a top rope powerbomb to Steve Sanders through a gasoline drenched, inferno table. That segment ended with Josh Generation looking into the crowd with the fresh, warm blood of Steve Sanders wiped across his chest.
And FINALLY!! The Main Event.. The first ever, TEN CHAIRSHOT MATCH.. Chris Benoit .vs. The Rose, The rules were simple.. Hit your opponent 10 times with a steel chair.. Folks, this match was absolutely brutal, no other way of putting it..
At one point, the tally was tied, 9 chair shots to 9 chair shots.. Both men were up, both men had a chair, swung at eachother- But the LIGHTS WENT OUT!
C.E.O Kyle Smith demanded that the contest continue.. And boy did it ever.. An intense staredown between the two bloody combatants was interrupted by John Cena, the man who faces Chris Benoit this Sunday Night at Massacre..
Catching Benoits attention, Rose see's his opportunity to get his tenth chairshot in.. Rose swings the metal seat, Benoit moves- Rose hits the top rope, and rebounds SMACKING himself in the face, and 'causing the referee to declare Chris Benoit the victor!
But were more questions created than questions answered? I'd wager so..
The first question is.. After such STRENUOUS HARDSHIP suffered at the hands of the devastating 10 STEEL CHAIRSHOT MATCH, how will The Rose and Chris Benoit perform in their matches..
Also, After Josh Generations unbelievable debut, Will Owner Anthony Gundacker actually hand him the belt? Will he hand the belt to someone else? Announce a tournament? A Battle Royal? WHAT?!?
Noone will know for sure until SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH.. When HWA comes to you live from the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California..

This Just In: YOU SUCK!``xNFW``x(orignally posted at http://fwowrestling.com, Authored by fWo Superstar, Sonny Silver.)
In The interest of keeping things clean, we here at the fWo website in conjunction with Disney have decided to take steps in order to provide a more fan-friendly atmosphere. With a little bit of creative editing, we have approved Mr. Silver’s column for posting upon the website. Thank you.
It has come to my attention that the Fans Wrestling Organization is indeed unlike any other crowd I’ve had the displeasure of performing for in the past sixteen years of my wrestling career. When I ruled The Squared Circle with my mighty Iron Fist, the fans knew their place. Sure, some of them were lousy sheepf(HERDERS) and they licked c(AKE FROSTING) but they knew their place.
But the fWo?
My name has been blasphemized only two weeks into my tenure!
And to say that this is one mother f(UDGE) of a fiasco is an understatement. I am so f(UNNY AND) p(LEASED) right now, it’s unbelievable. I bust my b(ACK) to perform for you people from everything to house to indy to BIG-TIME shows and what do I get for it? “BORING!”? You Mickey Mouse-loving f(ANS) need to straighten up and fly right before I come out there and pull an Artest on your a(PPLESAUCE)!
I mean, sure. When you people start chanting that Sonny-forsaken word at the likes of Brand Frontier and Kodiak Vic Creed’s Scott Steiner-looking (F)a(CE), it’s cool, but at ME?! ME?!
The REAL Reason There’s A Show?!
The ONLY Wrestling Deity?!
The 21st, 22nd, 23rd, AND 24th Century Ratings Draws?!?!
Stop the chants, now.
I’m not asking you as a fellow human being, because let’s face it. None of you are worthy of licking the sweat off my (HE)a(D) let alone being in the same arena as me, but I AM asking you as a wrestler who has given half his life to a sport that still continues to be less than kind to him to this day.
And if you can’t even give me that, I only have one thing to say.

NWF Live! sets the card for Genesis``xJoseph Duncan``xThe NWF has just put on it's monthly Live! event! NWF Live! comes ten days prior to each Pay-Per-View SuperCard, and this one leads us into NWF Genesis!
It was supposed to host the Semi-Finals of the "#2 Contender" Tournament for the vacant National Heavyweight Championship, but when the first Semi-Final match between Desiree and Ronin BlackKnight ended in a "no-contest" due to outside interference, the second Semi-Final match became the tournament final. It saw Chushy defeat Nemesis to earn the right to face The Eagle at Genesis for the vacant National Heavyweight Championship. NWF Owner Danny Williams announced that following Genesis, Ronin BlackKnight and Desiree would battle in a match to become the #1 Contender to the National Championship. Confusing, isn't it?
Also, Pete "POz" Osbourne defended his World Heavyweight title for the first time against "The Franchise" John Bane. While Bane has had some tough battles over the last couple of weeks, nobody thought that Osbourne would completely dominate the hardcore maniac. Osbourne took the victory by countout. He will defend his title at Genesis against former World Champion NFM.
Plus, the new Commissioner of the National Wrestling Federation, Syco, has announced that the match between Ronin BlackKnight and NEO Titan at Genesis will be a Hardcore match, and he also booked John Bane to take on Johnny Scarecrow, in what he calls the "Because Syco Said So Match."
Former IWZ World Heavyweight Champion Nerezzo will make his NWF debut at Genesis, as he takes on Trex Razz, the next generation in the Razbousky tradition of greatness.
Four Tag-Teams will compete in a Four Corners match. This could be huge, as Syco has announced that he is activating the Tag-Team Championship soon after Genesis.
So, here's what we have for Genesis:
-A former World Champion debuts -Four Tag-Teams will battle it out -Scarecrow and Bane will battle because Syco says so -A new National Heavyweight Champion will be crowned -And the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line!

Open Title Tournament Announced``xChad``xThe CSWA announced Thursday an open invitation tournament to determine a new CSWA Presidential Champion. At PRIMETIME 500, former champion Eddie Mayfield handed the title over to commissioner Stephen Thomas in return for a CSWA World Title shot against champion Shane Southern.
The tournament is open to professional wrestlers who are not currently signed by the CSWA. Potential participants can sign up by going to this form and can find additional information on the CSWA’s website at http://cswawrestling.com.
The Presidential Championship has long been one of Thomas’s favorites, even going so far to try and strap himself in 2001. Instead, it became a pivotal piece in the ownership battle between co-founders Thomas and Chad Merritt. Merritt eventually won control of the company, forcing Thomas out. Eventually, Thomas was thought dead in a plane crash. Instead, he reappeared in late 2004, creating a coup by suing Merritt and eventually having criminal charges brought against him as well.
The announced tournament is the first open invitation event held by the CSWA since the last ULTRATITLE Tournament in 1995. ``xEEpVyVyuyyMFOTOjaj``x1105660066``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xBill Buckley``xhttp://www.cswawrestling.com``xThe CSWA announced Thursday an open invitation tournament to determine a new CSWA Presidential Champion.

Ruahh Review...1/10/04``xdillon``xSPOILERS WITHIN! TAKE NOTE!
First true show of the new year, and it comes off a strong finish to 2004. Now, I know people are up in arms about the World Title picture, and I don't blame you. This many changes in a short period of time plays off instability. Currently, the organization does not have a clear cut number one guy. This isn't like when there was a Ruben Ross or a Kodiak Vic Creed around in the title picture, who you basically depended on giving you whatever you thought necessary from your World Champion. In wrestling, sometimes that happens to your main event scene. However, it is not all bad. Just the fact that there might have been a way to do a lot of stories without the title getting involved.
That is my opinion. I think that storylines could have been without a good portion of these title changes in such a matter of time. I like Frenchie and I like Flair when he isn't the DQ king. And Frenchie as champ? Don't really bother me some. I mean, after all, how many wrestling fans were creaming their pants when Benoit got the gold? Well, for many of us, the Frenchie is the shit.
Anyway...if you don't like that opinion, fine. But I can explain my stands on those things if need be, and I assure you, when the 2004 FWO review comes out, my thoughts will be explained in perfect clarity.
Again, this shouldn't take away from this show. Unless of course we get another title change. And that would be EXTREMELY unnecessary.
Monday Night Ruahh~! Aired on: January 10, 2005 Located at: Minneapolis, MN
For those familiar, three strike rules in place. If the third strike happens, I stop reading the card and try to burn the experience out of my skull.
"The Start Of It All" -I will have to say...impressed here. It is interesting to see that the FWO is finally not 'in the gutter' or 'in a position where they are totally in peril'. That got so old after the history. You can only do some many storylines involving the self destruction and fall. See, if you stretch this out, and then you hit it with a downfall, then it has more meaning I think. But anyway, I like the feeling from this. Makes me kinda giddy, actually. And they even talked about the new blood coming in from tSC. I am actually excited to how this will all play out. Bonus points for the fans perspectives. Pretty decent stuff.
"The head that wears the crown? Not so heavy." -The shock of 2004 (yes...Frenchie winning the FWO Title is shocking as hell to me, even though he was on the fringes after WotY and his match with Spyder was high profile) goes on. Frenchie gets the night off. Good, no title change then. I'd say it was run of the mill promo cutting, however, the fact that a dirty player like the Frenchie would be not only willing to honor a return match with Flair, let alone decree it will be a fair fight is a shock. However, I'm not taking that at face value. Fifty bucks says that Frenchie screws Flair in the return.
""Cocky" Craig Miles v. Brand Frontier" --Thanks to Flyer idiocy, we get the Street Fight ten or so days late. THANKS JACKASS~!*Flips off Flyer* Strong opener, as I take it this was supposed to be one of the showcase pieces from the past Countdown. Anyway, to the match. This shit needs Fight Club rules...no belts...no shoes...you know...the works. And the fact that Frontier does not use the weapons to his advantage might prove him to be a good guy, but against Miles, it is suicide. This fight had a lot of build up, and had a lot of psychological elements in it. However, I expected more. I wanted one man to prove his point. I wanted either Miles to prove that Frontier played the hero not actually act like one or for Frontier to prove that Miles was not as strong as he made himself out to be. The ending was a huge let down, but allows for a continuation. If this was the finale, then it leaves a lot to be desired. If it is another chapter, then great. Also, not a big fan of the Creed and Deacon run in at the end. Rating: ***3/4 Somewhat disappointing finish, but consider this WAS. A. FIGHT. They told a great story here up to the ending juncture in my mind. Strong story telling, not much in the way of wrestling, but everything lined up and was pretty wicked action wise.
"January 1st, 2005. (New Years Day) Flashback" -Probably a little misplaced, as this was more the introducing of a manager in a somewhat quirky way. For a manager, she seemed real quick to already have copies of a contract. Unless, of course, she bluffed. But then again, I don't know that. Hooch is the guy with the answer there. Nothing bad, but nothing I would consider earth shattering. She has to do something of more worth than sleep with someone to make an impact to me.
"Better Late than Never" -Quirky segment, with the door slamming and all. Felt like a good televised segment. I would like to see just exactly how they are going to get Stevens into the crowded title picture, but I am not going to detract. Good segment.
"Conditions" -Flyer gets a date with the resident FWO psychiatrist. Shockingly, with a place full of nut jobs, you'd think she'd get more use. Anyway, Flyer is basically given the go ahead to be a wacko, because apparently that'll draw ratings. He wasn't even reprimanded for the attack on the truck. No problem. Flyer becomes interesting here as he actually seems scared about what he is capable of. Great segment, and could be an initial building block to when he finally really blows his gasket.
"There's Something About Dudley" -Continuing with the flashback segment, Milo seems a little disenchanted with Lara as his manager. He wants out of the deal. Just so you know, not everyone would be upset in the situation. ;-). Anyway, it is progression, and it isn't bad progression. However, again, it was basic. And for clarification, just because something is simple or basic, or not earth shattering does not make it bad. As long as your segment serves a purpose, then fine. However, from now on, if you have multiple segments that serve the same purpose, then use one a show. Using multiple when not really necessary gets somewhat repetitive.
"Rat v. Milo Samus" -Do I smell squash? YES I DOES! Like Rat stands a chance. Rating: * Sports entertainment style squash, with little build up to the submission. Hey, not every match is XXX vs. AMW in a cage. Nothing wrong here, served it's purpose, but it would have been better to have a pin in my opinion.
"The Beginning" -Continuity rears its ugly head. However, I am not going to fault Brock here. Travis gets the blame. A very cool segment in my mind. Allows you to look into Sean and see that the guy has changed from the guy we saw in the Asylum. He and Miles really worked nicely together, and the segment had some flare to it, especially when Token ripped on Rana. Great stuff here. Hope it is an omen and Brock can do a lot of positive in the FWO with a character I would write off as being a simple crude heel.
"There's a picture of the Virgin Mary on page twenty-three." -Never was a big fan of the new Pretty Fly, but there was an interesting point made by the lovable losers. Should they go after the belts again? Didn't they prove a point by winning them in the first place? Anyway, where this leads, I have no idea. Nothing bad here, so it was a good segment. My preference since this does not happen in the area of the show, that it would be better as an rp, but that is me.
""The Mecca" Alex Creed v. "Dangerous" Dave Brown" -Another squash? Quite possibly. Again, making kid jokes, but the kid burns Brown horribly. Silly antics leading up to what should be a Creed go over. Maybe if he lost, the shine would be gone. That would be something... Rating: * It was a match basically dominated by Brown. Of course, Creed won late with a pair of devestating moves, but yeah. It would be interesting to see the Mecca, with all these great things expected of him, to come up against an opponent he SHOULD beat and fail. That's throwing shit out there. Really unnecessary blade, but other than that, it was a match.
"The Angel Factor" -Marketing ideas in place of Eli. That makes me sad, as basically the top two guys in the title picture took the night off. If anything, this show needs a little more Frenchie and Eli at this juncture. But besides that, I like how through and through Ivy and Flair haven't sold out to their true fans as of yet. However, this is the days of sports entertainment and the WWE, and marketting has taken the place of wrestling ability, so you wonder just how much longer that can logically last. Oh well. Good segment through and through.
"is it real?" -Token and Rana. Now, the second I see these two, I think that we are having one man get defensive. However, instead, you kind of get a heart to heart. Token, you can detect disgust at what he was, and that he is trying to really act as an example for the young Rana. Rana seems to be receptive, taking the Weed story and actually putting some thought into it. Good character interaction and good segment overall. Everyone is considering Miles to be completely insane though. That's the problem. Nobody can really understand his motives. Can you say Tyler Durden everybody?
"Sphere (c) v. Ichabod Michaels" -I just can't think of Sphere as more than a funny man. I mean, you do it for so many years...oh well. I can actually see him in the hardcore division in my minds eye, and it works. If we get a title change, then that would be a real shock. Rating: *** Though it felt one sided (especially in the early going), the action was fluid, and Michaels had trouble adapting to the way the match worked. I think Bort conveyed that Sphere used all that to his advantage. It was a high octane match, and I am a sucker for matches that use a lot of simple holds and such. There was actual grappling here, so kudos to Bort.
"Horror Business" -Post match beatdown with sinister heels looking to put Kodane out of action. Karma 2.0 makes the save. Not a fan of Karma, but the segment fits in and makes me happy to see someone else thinks that not every segment has to be outside the ring. Alright segment.
"Flash and Fury" -Good father and son interaction here. I do like the fact that Vic is angry because Alex basically is allowing wrestling to be more preverted from the great sport it once was. Alex obviously wants to carry on the legacy, and he sees this as the only way how. Vic doesn't see it that way. I stand by the thought that the glitz and glamour should led to Alex's downfall, as someone out of nowhere just tags the kid. But that's me.
"Old Friends" -The should be building blocks to a Jacobs/XXXstacy feud. Lots of animosity, lots of barbs exchanged, and a couple of low blows to boot. These two hate each other. I do think that this is a mere precursor, as the real meat is later in the show. Alright segment, basic to a fault.
"Legion of Dairy v. High Flyer & Brand Frontier" -So we go full circle. The guy who destroyed the truck that stopped the match from airing now gets to tag with the guy who's match was not aired thanks to his outburst. You'd think Frontier would be all "Hey man, you've got no love". This might be the case, but how many times do thrown together teams beat the teams that have been together a while? Ask the 04 US Men's Basketball team. Rating: **1/2 Hey, at least it wasn't a bloody formula match. LoD winning isn't that big of a shock, especially over a team of Flyer and Frontier, who is coming off a brutal fight with Miles. Alright action through and through, nothing I can complain about. The Divine Right spot was pretty nifty. It was a match, not much else I can say as it wasn't god awful or genre changing.
"Revenge" -And the crazy ass surfaces. I loved this. Flyer jacks up his own teammate because the 'lazy ass' should've tagged him in. The funny thing is that LoD was too stupid to simply get the hell out of there. Is this revenge against LoD? Probably. Should it be the start of a Flyer/Frontier war? Most definately. Great segment, especially if there is a program between Frontier/Flyer.
"A Whole New World...Get It? Because Disney Has Power Over The fWo And It's A Song From Aladdin...Shut up, It's Funny." -Welcome Sonny Silver into your arms ladies and gentlemen. Being from the tSC circle and knowing it is one show away from the dirt nap, I am glad to see Silver end up someplace this quick. Good play off the fact that he is infact a new jack in the place, but the audience would have an atleast nominal idea of who he is. Some good quotes here, but Sonny will always give you one shot that'll make you go 'damn'. However, as much as I love Sonny and love what he did in tSC, it is time for the character to evolve. It looks like he will have to, thanks to the crowd reaction, but still. One thing I dislike is whenever the usage of God is there. I mean, through the dialogue, most of the audience can piece together the thought that Sonny believes himself to BE the grand creator, no need to be self repeating. But good stuff, for a debut. Hopefully the boring chants lead somewhere.
"Kodiak Vic Creed v. Mystery Opponent" -Mystery opponent is Token Weed. And with the history these two have, this match shoul be good. At least it should be a good TV match, if you catch my drift. Rating: 3/4* COME ON! I know Token is new to the FWO, but the guy had beaten Creed in the Asylum. Hell, a lot of the match WAS a flashback to that very match. Disappointment as that was just a one sided Creed squash. Sorry kids, but this results in strike one, as any match below a * is totally unneccesary.
"And the Lord said: "Let there be HEAT!"" -HEAT!!!! Looks like Creed gets the chance to dance with the devil. Though, the point to prove to Creed, I am not really sure. Great interaction, and any segment that includes Dragonfire gets an A plus in my book. Great rebuttal from the Street Fight attack.
"Terms of Concealment" -Interesting. Maybe Bernard can rebuild a tag division that has been weak for a while now. Or maybe he won't and this storyline he is going after will fail miserably and the titles will be passed to the next person and the same thing will happen. I'm rooting for Bernard, as I'd like to see at least one place have a decent tag team division instead of the complete focus on singles action. Alright segment, I do have to say.
"Some things never change" -And the situation blows. We get served to a heartfelt speech from Sean, and then Vince comes on out to break up to deal. We get a look at the Legends match these two had, where SVJ won the Internet Title. Also, more barbs are thrown from Jacobs. As if you people thought that this program wasn't going to happen. I think this will be great. We have two upper carders fighting it out, and the winner will probably be thrown into the World Title scene. And seeing Jacobs or Triple X there isn't a bad thing in my estimation, as both men work their gimmicks very well and have a great pedigree when it comes to wrestling.
"Same Sh*t, Different Day..." -Again, Craig plays Durden and Token's past life comes back to haunt him. Great contrast to the earlier segment in the show, where the two were actually very civil towards each other. Good segment, but with the current KVC/Miles program looking to be where the money is as far as Miles is concerned, what does this mean to Token? Is it just a brief experience where Miles exposes him and the thought lingers, or what. Don't know. Good segment.
"Challenge Met" -I will say, I have enjoyed the way that the Deacon character has been approached. I love how the crowd turned against him. And then you get Spyder. Again, atypical barbs being flung from Spyder, basic heel kind of stuff. And even in the mist of the rude interruption, Deacon still tries to be the level head. Oh well. Now we get our main event. Alright segment to build up into the main event.
"Deacon v. Spyder" -Big mismatch in terms of size and strength. Travis is writing, so I want to see how he conveys it. The match can go either way, but if Deacon manhandles him, the only acceptable victory for Spyder is a cheap one with tight grabbing or whatever. Rating: *1/2 Felt sloppy, to me. No way a guy like Spyder could spear someone as big and powerful as Deacon. Seemed to lack some good tranisitions, as it was just moves as it seemed, and did not come together to tell a story. Spyder seemed to have more offense, but I did like the brass knucks, even if there SHOULD have been a DQ once the ref found them. A flawed match, that is how I see it. Could use some improvement in the storytelling elements. Again, not every match has to be Austin/Rock circa WMXVII, but the should be more evident structure.
"Uncertain Terms" -A build up segment towards some storyline, of course. An interesting segment as it involves a pair of people you usually would not see together. Pretty good segment, but then again, I like it when a match ends the show. But hey, the Miles the better, and Lindsay Troy is a bonus. :-)
Overall Grade: B- -Three squashes out of seven matches, and an open that should have been on Countdown. So, you get six live matches, and only one really stood out. Match quality wise, this is below par in my eyes, and the thing that makes the show good is the segment content. Again, a squash is alright, BUT THREE? Come on guys. Overall, a good show with only one strike against it, so it gets a thumbs up in my book. If this was a PPV, it would be as Kane would say "DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD" but it works for live television.
I liked the stuff from Flyer, Miles, and Token the best. Outside that one match...
Again, it at least keeps momentum going, and towards the rest of the year and sets the building blocks for what should be feuds over the next arc. Nothing outworldly great. Solid with some lacking elements.``xEEpVVZkAFEMCtFVCtI``x1105576531``xwire``x56481091824871``xAaron Dillon``xhttp://www.fwowrestling.com/cgi/events/location.cgi?ruahh_011005&2005``x``x``x``xwednesdaywire.gif``x``xFWO``xA new year...will the momentum carry?``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Crashmas 2004 -- And then there were two...``xNFW``xIt might have possessed only two matches on the night, but the 2 hour affair of 2004's Crashmas brought out the best and the worst of New Frontier Wrestling's history.
In winning their respective conference final matches, Michael Manson and Shane Southern will FINALLY meet in the same ring for an epic encounter at Wrestlebowl.
Yet, in the shadows waiting for Season II -- are possible plot twists, threats and new, but familiar faces that will impact the future of New Frontier Wrestling forever.
The night had started innocently enough with Calvin Carlton and Joey Melton putting on their best rendition of "Brian's Song," but when that song and dance finished -- the pain and anguish was only beginning.
Two stipulations, outside interference -- you name it, Michael Manson vs. Jonathan Marx had it as the North Conference Champion squared off against the East Conference Champion and current NFW Heavyweight Champion. Manson defended the crown under his chosen stipulation of a falls count anywhere Steel Cage Match.
...
It's Manson, wait 'till you read Melton.
Early on, Arthur Marx, Jonathan's father (formerly Werewolf of NGEN in the 90's) as well as Brandon Jacobs caught Manson by surprise on his cage descent -- leading to a nasty fall and back injury that Jonathan exploited to win the match.
Yet, Michael Manson didn't rise above any odds and overcome this obstacle -- in a shocker, Shane Southern chairshotted Jonathan Marx leading to the victory for Manson.
...and then things just got started.
Kazuo Shizaki and FZM officials walked to ringside accompanied by 'The Wolf' Mike Randalls and Wildstar -- two former FZM athletes, ironically a federation that Michael Manson opposes due to his Ultimo Japan alliance. In a twist of fate, Quentin Sullivan walked out announcing FZM's buyout of the NFW East, along with a new board of director vote -- allowing NFW as a whole to expel Avery Prosser's NFW North from the federation.
...of course, Avery didn't like that. What we weren't expecting was the bombshell of Anne Mystic arriving and claiming her 25% ownership of the federation (obtained from Avery Everette, an original owner of NFW) gave her the right to nullify the sale.
Strangely, the masked man known as El Toro walked out, but he revealed himself to be none other than the original Majority Owner and Commissioner of NFW -- Craig Miles. In a response we can only hopes the courts will verify, Miles proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Mystic couldn't stop Sullivan's plans.
And so the pirates fully revealed themselves. In a nrutal attack, WASP and Highwayman revealed themselves as 'Hot Property' Eddie Mayfield and Troy Windham. 'The Last Angry Man' Marcus Cameron also was present and on their team, so to speak.
After a humiliating speech from Troy Windham that no husband should suffer, Eddie Mayfield detailed a 5 year plot of revenge stretching from the NFW to the CSWA to the fWo that accentuated the 9 on 1 attack, Craig Miles was suffering. It took the cage 'MAGNIFICENT'ly lighting on fire for the attack to stop.
Even in the aftermath, things didn't slow down -- Shane Southern attacked Michael Manson with a chair just before he and Joey Melton faced off in the main event. With Melton claiming to be paralyzed, the night continued down a path that can only described as...
...
...well something Joey Melton would do with an audience this large.
A 'Wheelchair Match,' got broken up by a Shane Southern and Lindsay Troy liplock...which miraculously healed Joey Melton to the fullest extent, where he wrestled Southern in a twenty minute classic.
It took karma and a broken hearted Lindsay Troy to pull the proverbial rug out from under Melton's legs, leading to a Party's Over Superkick and pinfall for Southern.
Shortly thereafter, in an ominous scene -- Dan Ryan attacked the newly crowed South Conference Champion and gave him the Humility Bomb onto the entrance ramp, where Michael Manson just happened to be smiling.
So, the night ended and all fans in North Charleston, South Carolina shared tales of wonder, confusion, questions and excitement as New Frontier Wrestling heads towards its first ever Wrestlebowl PPV, where Michael Manson and Shane Southern meet under the most epic of situations -- rightly so, with the history between the duo.
Reports in response to the Eddie Mayfield, Craig Miles and Troy Windham situation are few and far between -- but we all can be certain...there's certain to be one.``xEEpVuFVEVVwdUnUuMA``x1105438755``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xNatrone Rice``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xIt might have possessed only two matches on the night, but the 2 hour affair of 2004's Crashmas brought out the best and the worst of New Frontier Wrestling's history.

The first Breakdown of the year, and a new Lt. Commish?``xJoseph Duncan``xThe National Wrestling Federation has put on it's first edition of Breakdown for 2005! This special Sunday night edition of Breakdown saw the beginning of the National Championship Tournament, being dubbed the "#2 Contender Tournament", since the winner will face off against The Eagle for the vacant NWF National Heavyweight Championship. As you may recall, The Eagle won his #1 Contendership at Season's Beatings. However, the Executive Committee made the decision to have a tournament, rather than crown The Eagle as the new Champion because of the fact that The Eagle still has only a handful of NWF matches. Six spots were filled in the tournament by the match winners at Season's Beatings, while two spots were left open. The first qualifier was an 8-Person Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royal, while the second open spot would be filled by a Four Corners match between two former National Champions (Nicholas Siarlis and Johnny Scarecrow) and two former Television Champions (Nemesis and Mikeatude BK). NWF newcomer "Firestorm" Johnathan Mills won the Battle Royal to take one spot, while former Carnage member Nemesis won the right to the other open spot.
Also on the card, a Hardcore Grudge Match was held between "The Franchise" John Bane and Spawn. The match was added late in the week, but it lived up to the great hardcore matches of all-time, you really need to tune in for this one.
Plus, the team of The Eagle and NWF World Heavyweight Champion Pete "POz" Osbourne took on the team of "The Rogue Warrior" Ronin BlackKnight and NFM. Eagle and BlackKnight have had heated words, as BlackKnight is a former Navy SEAL, while The Eagle is an Anti-American Brit. NFM and POz also have a thing going, as NFM is the #1 Contender to Osbourne's World Heavyweight title. You'll have to tune in to see what happened in this one.
Plus, a major development, as former NWF Commissioner Joseph Duncan had apparently left a successor in the event that his team lost at Season's Beatings (which they did)... who is it? You'll have to see for yourself!

The MBE Cup: Handicapping the Field``xtholzerman``xThe MBE Cup Tournament is rapidly approaching. So far, 21 wrestlers have signed up, with a few more rumored to be on their way. Here's a list, broken down into categories based on their odds of winning.
Favorites
Paco The Wetback: Paco was the last MBE Champion before the fabled Message Board Entertainment merged with Jess Chapel's Underground X-Treme Wrestling, and he was showing signs of domination before he lost the unification match to Promo and disappeared. He has resurfaced, and he looks to be the odds-on favorite to win. However, there's always the chance for another AWOL development, but I think he's here for the haul this time.
Maggot: Maggs is one link to MBE's golden era, although it can be argued that the ship started sinking somewhere during his title reign. Regardless, Maggs was a dominant Champion and still has a lot of fuel in his tank, as referenced by New Frontier Wrestling's willingness to give the One Man Mafia a good, hard look for their second season. Look for him to go far.
"The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan: The man is legendary no matter where he goes, and he has extensive experience on the A1 circuit, something that none of the other FW implants other than Cross (who really isn't an FW implant anymore) can claim. He has a dominating presence, a throwback to the days of The Spoiler, and it wouldn't be suprising if Ryan is groomed as being "The Next Spoiler."
The Next Level Down
Andrew Gilkison: While Andy F'n G has been inactive for quite some time, he's still the embodiment of MBE, its very heart and soul, much like Sting or Arn Anderson was for WCW, or Tommy Dreamer for ECW. As shown by his first promo for A1E's Pier Six Brawl, it seems that he doesn't have a lot of rust on the mic, and that may translate to not having a bunch of rust in the ring too. Don't be surprised to see Gilkison in the final three-way dance for the Cup.
Joey Melton: The wily old fox would be one of the odds on favorites to win this thing if it weren't for some inconsistency as of late. As he's shown in Empire Pro, he can light it up one week and barely show up the next. If he does turn his jets on, he may waltz away with the Cup.
Freakshow: Freakshow was always dwelling on MBE's "Next Big Thing" list in his time there. He was always waiting to break out, but when he'd get the chance, he'd either falter under the pressure, or he'd disappear. Well, there's no better time for the man known as James Thompson to break out than now.
Housefly: Fly is the only competitor to have held both the MBE and A1E World Heavyweight Championships (and he held them concurrently at a point). His career has hit a bit of a rut, but with the overbearing Empire saga now over in A1E, he seems to have a rasa tabula in front of him.
Cross: Cross is a threat to win anything he enters, and this is no exception. However, his rap in A1E is that he was a "right place, right time" Champion and a mere placeholder Champion until Euclid came along and began his dominant reign. Cross will want to prove to the A1 circuit that he is indeed for real, but it will be tough. If he does win given the competition, he will make a huge statement to the A1 circuit and the wrestling world on the whole.
Torment: Torment's another guy who has something to prove. Since he was more of a placeholder Champion than Cross was, he will no doubt come out firing on all cylinders for the Cup, especially since he used to call MBE his home. If Torment comes away with the A1E title at Bloody New Year and the Cup, he will prove all his naysayers wrong, but the burning question is, does he have it in him to do either one, let alone both? We'll soon find out.
Could Go Either Way
Promo: Promo was the last MBE World Heavyweight Champion, but he's had some out-of-the ring troubles keeping him from staying active in the wrestling world. Much like the man he beat for the title, Paco, he's prone to disappearing, but he does have the raw talent to take the Cup home. That can be said for many competitors in the field though.
Webweaver: Web has always been one of MBE's most colorful heel characters. At times, he's been effective in the ring, but he has a penchant for failing in big spots. However, he's always dangerous, but there are too many big guns for him win without some inspired grappling.
Steve Savoy: The man formerly known as Shawn Hart has some experience in A1E, and his successes in the FW circuit speak for themselves. However, he has been away from the game for a few months, and he doesn't have the recent A1E successes that his FW counterparts Dan Ryan and Cross have. The potential is there, but Savoy's chances could go either way.
Londonboy: Londonboy fancies himself as the most hated man in wrestling. That may be true, but does being hated equal having the talent enough to win four matches in a row in a stacked field such as this? Stranger things have ahppened, and Londonboy has shown flashes in World Title programs in both A1E and MBE.
Dark Horses
Tillrules: Till's made some waves in MBE in the past, but I have to question his ring rust here. He's been away for longer than most people pegged ahead of him has, and he's always had a penchant for not living up to potential.
FATSEXY: Ye Gyat Yne is known for his theatrics and total entertainment value, but he's also known for flaming out and disappearing. If he sticks around, he could make a major run, but somehow, I doubt he will.
Mindkiller: Mindkiller's been around, but once again, he has major ring rust. He's always had potential, and a pretty good mentor, but it may take awhile for him to realize that. Awhile isn't a good time frame in a tournament setting.
Irish Red: The legendary founder of the Midwest Mafia is back, but once again, the question of ring rust is in place. He may have a better chance than the other dark horses I mentioned, but it's still an uphill battle for him.
Not Much of a Chance
Captain Suleimon: Suleimon has always been a heat magnet, but he's also always been a jobber. He'll make for an interesting first round opponent for whomever, but that's about it.
W. Clark: The kid looks impressive and he's got great wrestling stock, but he's a project. I don't foresee him winning the Cup, but he will also make life hard for whoever he faces in the first round and for people in the Second Chance Battle Royale as well.
"The Hawk" Josh Haywood: Another rookie, but as of yet, we don't have a profile on him. He could surprise, but I figure he's in the same category as W. Clark.
Kayafaber: Yeah, right. So there you have it, the field for the MBE Cup. As of press time, former A1E Champion Snake, NFW honcho and fWo superstar Craig Miles, current A1E Cyber Champion James Irish and former A1E, MBE and UXW superstar Kanna Kirishima have been rumored to have been contacted, but weren't confirmed or denied for participation. We'll leave those guys for when/if they sign in.
As for my pick, well, I think it's still too early to tell, but I'd put my money on Dan Ryan, with a small side wager on Andrew Gilkison.``xEEpVkAlVupGECeuwUH``x1105302140``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Informer``xhttp://www.a1wrestling.com/dc/dcboard.php``x``x``x``xspot.gif``x``xMBE``xThe Informer's Take``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Writing and EW``xpants``xAt some point, something about professional wrestling captured our attention. Something made it interesting and fun and particularly, something in it sparked our imagination on what might be possible.
Somehow, we started existing in the same place, trying to do the same thing: make something possible.
So we became writers.
To many people, this is a game. It’s a diversion and an amusement. “Playing” ew fits as something next to playing a videogame. Or rolling dice and marching your half elf through a dungeon. Or even putting fangs in your mouth and running around playing rock paper scissors. As a game, it’s frameless; there are no effective rules to shortcut around making decisions. There are no means to get our results for free.
Anything you want to have happen in this game, you have to make it happen yourself, which calls upon you to be a writer. Even if you consider your work the most frivolous means to an end, you’ve still become a writer.
According to Damon Knight, there’s a strong temptation for any writer to play into wish fulfillment. In ew it’s particularly strong. You’ve invested the time and energy into your character, you’ve made him as best you can, and you want your character to succeed. Since this is a game for so many of us, we’re in this to have a good time. We’re in this to enjoy ourselves. Our enjoyment often depends on our success with this character, for our goals and dreams and hopes to play out, something near what we had envisioned as a plan. So often this is what we want, and further, it’s why we do this.
What I want to tell everyone, particularly the handlers of characters in ew, is to let that go.
I strongly believe that writing your character for a primary audience of just one person, yourself, is a really sticky trap. This prioritization of what you want for your character creates problems. It means that you’re automatically excluding people who would read your work.
How is this so bad? Isn’t everybody already involved and participating because they want to write for themselves, so each person looks after their own work? But what does this lead to? It leads for a strong tendency for work to go unread, or skimmed, or briefly looked at. It leads to work being inaccessible to people outside of ew, and barley worth notice among those inside.
The creative impulse is a good thing. It’s a good place to start, a good driving force. But as a reader of many works inside and outside ew, work that’s motivated by self-indulgence all starts to look the same. It’s contained within the text, and read between the lines. And once you learn to recognize it, it gets very loud, screaming out across our hobby, “My characters matter because I matter!”
Damon Knight tells us about a contract. It’s an agreement with your readers. It’s the writer saying, this is what I’ve made, and this is what’s in it for you. When there is nothing in your story for your readers, you’ve taken away the reasons for them to be interested. Sometimes that’s okay. In our hobby of ew, there are many people who are interested in self indulgent things. It might even be the same goal among readers. It’s a coincidental congruency, and unfortunately, it’s not such a good thing.
Why? Because the positive reinforcement of creating work that’s can only be appreciated by a few people, means that work in ew will remain inaccessible to anybody else. It means that writing continues to go unread, and critical, important, and significant events are glossed over to get a glance at what the bottom line says at the end.
Let go of self-indulgence. Let go of wish fulfillment. How though?
I don’t know. It’s not easy. It could be as simple as letting the characters exist as something apart from yourself, focusing on their goals as opposed to yours. It could be as simple as looking at your story like an outsider would: thinking about what they are seeing happen as opposed to what kind of plan is forming from your point of view. It could be as simple as evaluating choices for the character, thinking of four options that are obvious, and throwing them away to find a fifth one that hopefully hasn’t been seen before. It could be a matter of looking at what everyone else is doing, and then looking for things that haven’t been seen or done.
Why?
I think people are drawn into ew because of their ideas of ew, rather than what ew actually is. I think the magic in this, what catches us up, and takes us for a ride, is the possibility of it all. I think people who are exposed to it by looking at what we actually make take no interest in it. I wish that it wasn’t like that.
What I’d like to see is people under simply curiosity having a look at what we do and be amazed by it. I’d like them to read what it is written, and find what’s in it for them, what will bring them enjoyment and provide reason for them to keep reading.
As a community of writers, I think we’ve gone too far in only writing for ourselves and perhaps each other. I think that what we make here needs to have something more, something for anybody who would take a look, whether they have a love for wrestling or just good writing.
When we write for our own enjoyment, we can’t lose. We’ve won ourselves over and it’s guaranteed success. When we offer something for the reader, we take a risk. It’s a difficult thing. But the reward of making something that reaches out like that provides so much more joy then just satisfying ourselves. And that kind of reward serves as the best inspiration to take our entire community further than it’s ever been.

Year-End Awards and More!``xJoseph Duncan``xThe National Wrestling Federation held it's first annual NWF Year-End Awards on Monday night at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center in Houma, Louisiana!
NFM (No Fear Man) was named the 2004 NWF Wrestler of the Year.
Another important development was the decision about the status of the NWF National Heavyweight Championship. Since Pete "POz" Osbourne defeated Billy West to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, he's held both NWF titles. It has been announced that the National title has once again been declared vacant, and that a month-long tournament will be held, ending at the NWF Genesis PPV from the FleetCenter in Boston, MA on January 30. The tournament winner will face off against The Eagle, who won his right at a National title shot back at Season's Beatings.
Other award winners are:
Best NWF World Heavyweight Champion: NFM Best NWF National Heavyweight Champion: Desiree Best Newcomer of 2004: The Eagle Best Feud of 2004: Joseph D. and Danny Williams Best Match of 2004: Rage in a Double Cage at Season's Beatings Most Shocking Event of 2004: Chushy's debut Best Female of 2004: Desiree Which Newcomer will make waves in 2004: Chushy Best Promos in 2004: Pete "POz" Osbourne 2004 NWF Wrestler of the Year: NFM

Clap-off: Why the A1E Argument Doesn't Work in Empire``xtholzerman``x*NOTE:* This is the opinion of The Informer alone.
So, if you were watching Empire Pro Television over the weekend, you saw a New Year's Day surprise from one Clapper. Basically, with no provocation, he sounded off on Empire Pro management, about how they only push A1E talent, using World Champion Beast and newcomer and FW mainstay Cross as his primary targets.
Well, excuse me if I don't buy into that argument one bit. Methinks it's just because he got his rear end handed to him by a man in a mask known as Dis.
I mean, if former A1E talent is the only talent getting pushed, how does Clapper explain his own push? His first two matches in the fed were wins in a World Championship Contendership Tournament. One of those wins was over the aforementioned Cross and the other was against perennial World Title contender Troy Douglas.
Troy Douglas... hmm, there's a name. What's his A1E record? Zero and zero? Yeah, thought so. And what about Beast's challenger this week, Joey Melton? The closest he's sniffed of an A1E ring is Lindsay Troy's panties. Christian Sands? No A1E record either.
And don't even get me started on his inclusion of Cross in that list. Yes, Cross won the A1E World Heavyweight Championship, but I guess Clapper forgot or just was too lazy to look up that Cross was also an FW mainstay for years before he even knew A1E existed.
But I guess that's not enough. As much as two weeks ago, former A1E talent held the top two titles. Beast was (and still is) the Empire Pro World Heavyweight Champion. JA was the Intercontinental Champion. But if you think these two guys are on top only because they have association with A1E, you are sadly mistaken.
Since each of their respective day ones, Beast and JA have busted their humps to earn their positions. They're both talented workers who are well-respected by management and the locker room. In any other fed or if they were never a part of A1E, they'd have their positions there. Why should they be penalized because they're not FW homegrown?
I swear, I thought I heard Clapper mention the term 'A1E' more times in his promo than I hear on a weekly episode of A1E Tuesday Night Warfare. Why is this the case, and especially against someone with no known ties to A1E? Well, maybe Clapper is just showing his true colors, showing that he's not deserving of the push he got and that he's petty and jealous of success others have had.
What Clapper needs to realize is that no one gets a free ride in Empire based on what they did in other feds.
So there's no use bitching about it.``xEEpuZEVpVlLrEZMpsC``x1104718658``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Informer``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/fwc``x``x``x``xspot.gif``x``xEmpire Pro``xThe Informer sounds off about Clapper``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Shane Southern wins first CSWA World Title``xJMartin``xGreensboro, NC - In a stunning turn of events, long time CSWA and NFW superstar Shane Southern pinned Joey Melton at CSWA's PRIMETIME 500 event to win his first CSWA World Title.
But the pin did not come as usual for Southern as instead of his devastating superkick finisher, Southern pulled out a pair of brass knuckles from his tights and leveled the World Champion, knocking him out for the pin.
Southern had no comment after the match as he simply walked to his car with the belt, showed the camera an obscene gesture, and sped away. It was a surreal moment as most CSWA fans were stunned that Southern did not show any more emotion as he won the belt, a belt that he's been chasing for more almost four years.
Could this be the next step in a new attitude for Shane Southern? Or is he torn because of how he won the title?``xEEpuylkAluLyncIdWi``x1104686584``xoldnews``x``x``xhttp://cswawrestling.com``xGreensboro, NC - In a stunning turn of events, long time CSWA and NFW superstar Shane Southern pinned Joey Melton at CSWA's PRIMETIME 500 event to win his first CSWA World Title.``x68.112.213.97;;JMartin;;jasonvmartin@yahoo.com``xcswa.jpg``x``x``xCSWA``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

New Shows' Eve!``xChad``xNew Year's Eve brings a myriad of shows on the wrestling circuit. Two national promotions wrap up their year with respective cards: the fWo with its Countdown season, the CSWA with its 500th edition of PRIMETIME.
The fWo looks to put an end to a year that has seen the promotion taken over by Disney and rattled by Craig Miles and the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal. The CSWA looks to do the same, with a year that saw a legal battle over ownership and suspended the league for four months in the middle of the year.
Both promotions feature huge title matches and grudge matches. Newly crowned fWo World Champion Eli Flair will take on three opponents on successive nights and attempt to enter 2005 with the strap still around his waist. CSWA World Champion Joey Melton, who was gifted with the strap after Dan Ryan was stripped by Commissioner Thomas, faces off against Shane Southern, the top contender, who finally gets his rightful shot at the title.
The fWo's resident hero, Brand Frontier, faces recent nemesis Craig Miles in a Muay Thay Street Fight match, as he attempts to rid the fWo of the S5S leader once and for all. In the CSWA, former champs Dan Ryan and Hornet not only face each other, but "Muppet Kid" Timmy Windham in a Branding Iron match -- first one to recover the weapon and use it will win the grudge match.
Two national promotions put 2004 to rest with a bang and set the stage for what promises to be an explosive 2005. ``xEEpuFykpFuhvpvfgVd``x1104365634``x(default)``x53481091834249``xFWrestling.com``x``xNew Year's Eve brings a myriad of shows on the wrestling circuit.

New NWF Champion! Osbourne holds both titles!``xJoseph Duncan``xThe NWF put on it's final event of 2004 at the NWF Season's Beatings PPV SuperCard, and one of the major developments coming out of it is that NWF National Heavyweight Champ, Pete 'POz' Osbourne, has defeated 'The K.O. Kid' Billy West to become the new NWF World Heavyweight Champion!
Because of this, POz is now a Dual-Champion. It is expected that the Executive Committee will make a decision as to the status of the National Heavyweight title and announce it at the 2004 NWF Year-End Awards.
POz won the National title in a Fatal Four-Way Match against three of the top contenders when former champ Johnny Scarecrow was assaulted by his brother Milenko, and put out of commission. Then NWF Commissioner Joseph Duncan stripped the National title from Scarecrow, but there was a dispute as to who was the true #1 Contender for the vacant title. Therefore, it was settled, and POz became the new National Champion.
Now that POz has become World Heavyweight Champion, the Executive Committee is hesitant about once again vacating the National title, but word is that they will announce the status of the title by the awards show.``xEEpupVFuZysrCnZeHP``x1104057076``xoldnews``x``xJoseph Duncan``xhttp://nwf.ewrestle.net``xThe NWF put on it's final event of 2004 at the NWF Season's Beatings PPV SuperCard, and one of the major developments coming out of it is that NWF National Heavyweight Champ, Pete 'POz' Osbourne, has defeated 'The K.O.

Superstar Injured In Auto Accident``xPinger``xPort Jurvis, N.Y.
Although the jury is still out on whether or not professional wrestling is fake or not, one pro-wrestler is probably wishing the last few days were part of some extravagant pro-wrestling storyline. New Era of Wrestling superstar Jason Payne was admitted to a Port Jurvis hospital on December 21 for injuries sustained in an automobile accident near Milton, P.A.
According to an accident report obtained by the A.P, Payne, along with his wife and two children were traveling westbound on Interstate 84, when Payne's 2001 Ford Ranger hit a patch of ice, causing to vehicle to slide off the highway, and down an embankment. According to the report, the truck flipped over once.
Payne's wife suffered multiple injuries and was rushed to Port Jurvis Hospital. The two children onboard suffered no injuries and Payne had minor injuries to his head and neck.
All persons in the vehicle were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident. The weather at the time of the accident is said to have played a factor as a heavy snow was falling in the area at the time. Interstate 84 at the site of the crash, was covered in snow, making it difficult to get emergency crews to the accident.
Payne could not be reached for comment. The extent of his injuries is still not known. Payne had surgery to repair an injured neck a year ago from injuries sustained during a match. Payne is scheduled to compete in a NEW event, RAUCOUS on December 28th. As of press time, Payne's name is still on the card. NEW officials did not speculate on whether Payne would still appear on the card.
"It's completely up to the doctors as to whether or not he can compete.", a NEW spokesperson told reporters.``xEEpupuFEElZomehDuT``x1104046718``xoldnews``x``xAssociated Press``x``xAlthough the jury is still out on whether or not professional wrestling is fake or not, one pro-wrestler is probably wishing the last few days were part of some extravagant pro-wrestling storyline.

Is It 500 and Out?``xChad``xThe CSWA has scheduled it's 500 edition of CSWA PRIMETIME for New Year's Eve. The CSWA's premiere show began in 1992, but could #500 be its last?
Rumors are swirling that CSWA PRIMETIME 500 could be the beginning of the end for the storied sixteen-year old league.
Following Thomas's 'hostile takeover' of the league by using the courts, which resulted in three months of lost revenue and hefty arena cancellation fees, the CSWA is apparently feeling the fiscal crunch. Former commissioner and suspended co-owner Chad Merritt is scheduled to appear in court early next year on charges of fraud and embezzlement.
One significant rumor that currently has traction is that current commissioner Thomas has been unable to find or gain access to several accounts containing CSWA capital. If Thomas is forced to wait for a court order to force Merritt to reveal the alleged accounts, it's possible that the CSWA could be forced to take drastic measures to survive.``xEEpFVEykpkjacjMhab``x1103519802``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xFWrestling.com``xhttp://cswawrestling.com``xThe CSWA has scheduled it's 500 edition of CSWA PRIMETIME for New Year's Eve.

"PbPro Senior Vice-President Yori Yakamo, Sr. today announced PbPro would run a series of shows in America under the PbProUSA banner beginning in the new year. The feature piece of these shows would be a single elimination tournament to crown the first ever MBE Cup champion.
"For four years Message Board Entertainment was the gold standard for professional wrestling in America, so it is only right that we honor that standard by putting the best possible talent on display for our fans in the United States."
PbPro did not announce any specific dates, but said they would run five Wednesday shows starting in Los Angeles, and ending with the finals in the hallowed halls of the MBE Arena. All shows would be taped for Fuji TV and an American DVD release through Pioneer.
Mr. Yakamo stated that no members of the PbPro Japan roster would be involved in the tournament, but that he wanted to recruit the best possible wrestlers to compete to do honor to the PbPro and MBE names.
"My office will read applications from any and all interested wrestlers over the next few weeks. We are dedicated to finding the absolute best from America and around the world to compete in this prestigious event."
PbPro has placed senior board member Hiromasa "Hida" Yakamo and site foreman Yoshihiro Yamada in charge of organizing the events, due to their familiarity with the American wrestling landscape
All interested parties should include a short resume, including height and weight, a photo in wrestling gear and a tape containing whole matches not totaling more than one half hour. It should be sent to:
PbPro USA Re: MBE Cup 6A PbPro International Complex Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 163-0570, Japan"
No word yet has been announced of who will compete, but sources say that Maggot, former MBE World Heavyweight Champion and current prospective participant in NFW's Season Two (he's still under the tryour process) will participate. There hasn't been any official confirmation of that or any other participant though.``xEEpkZuuFlVekBlbETj``x1102747985``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe MBE Informer``xhttp://www.a1wrestling.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=15&topic_id=1004&mesg_id=1004#1004``xA blast from the past...

Happy Hour``xChad``x“Daniel my brother you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won’t heal Your eyes have died but you see more than i Daniel you’re a star in the face of the sky”
Ivy, I haven’t a clue what makes you tick. Gave up on understanding women when the ugly Wembley sister grew breasts in the 8th grade.
I was mortified then, and continuously am now. But, I was off on your response by one minute.
For perspective my dear, ask yourself: Are you what you love, or what loves you?
Rome is burning McGinnis, and it pleases me that you’ve looked back before blending into the sunset.
“If this is going to be the end of the CSWA, then God help me, I'd rather not be there for it.”
With one statement you’ve played all your cards. The CSWA is High School to you, ten years later. Some of the memories still hold, but you’ve grown, and the embarrassment of what the experience became needs to be buried. The loves of your life are here, and you’d rather walk the other way to avoid becoming a mistake.
Only Ivy, what you graduated from was the real world. Instead of staying to steer you left what wasn’t bolted down behind. You settled for Dallas, when you could have had the World.
Going through the motions until pay time? Is that what I’m doing here? I’m the one whose love anchors the ship. When it’s down and rusting, I’ll be there with it. Not because I have to be, but because it’s where I belong. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I know this for fact.
I’ve worked in other federations: Most notably the AAWC for dear ol’ President Poop. And you know I’ve had discussions with a league dear to your heart. The money’s always good, the wine list long, but I’m made to feel like the mathematical genius the military wants to lock in a basement for it’s own gain. Every investor, creative mind, fluffer, they ask the same questions, over and over again.
“How’d they do it?”
“Who here’s worth selling?”
“Can you pull anyone else out?”
They want the blueprint, Ivy. They don’t want me.
And I tell them you’ve gotta be family. You’ve gotta care, and work for the man beside you 24/7. And they look at me like I’ve gone crazy.
Have I?
The people I’ve worked with for the last seventeen years have been essentially the only family I’ve ever had. And when it’s over I’ll survive, but I refuse to miss one gathering; because until it’s truly dead I know I’m wanted. And these people know I want them in my life as well.
I haven’t paid for a meal on the road in years. Anywhere, be it Atlanta, Seattle, L.A., Jersey, there’s an old-timer with a story to tell, and a heartfelt thanks. Ed, Don, and Larry up in Detroit, or Luke Gordon aka Degadeath in Georgia. They’ll stop me in airports, and we’ll head to a bar, or their family’s home.
The list goes on. How many hundreds have walked through the door?
Steven...
Monte...
Ray...
McG...
Past years of my life return, and I find myself genuinely caring how they’re holding up. I never thought I would. I wish you could see the smile on my face. The stories. Poppy caught with his pants down, Hornet’s first year, the honest fear of a young mad pup named Michael Randalls. And, how much of a prick Windham was for much of his tenure.
And Mark even now, calling to chide me for taking shots at his girl in my last column.
I don’t know what you did to that boy, Ivy.
Hell, what’d you do to me?
I remember the first show: A blonde-haired livewire who berated Patrick over the tempo of the Eliminator’s match. The fresh faced kid who couldn’t get enough of the tour. Who always saw a better way to do things, even if she never let on. Who returned after the last bell to sign for fans, and thank the growing legions who traveled to see her.
The green-eyed girl who insisted on hiding her beauty: despite my protests.
Poison Ivy. The sponge. Nothing escaped your sight, and I don’t believe there’s ever been a question unasked.
I always thought one day I’d be run out of the booth by you. Either, in my place, or as the woman in the office on the top floor making creative decisions, and running the show. If there was anyone better, I knew you’d find them. And I was okay with that, Ivy, because when there’s a spark in someone you have to let it grow. You have to encourage it. I hope I did. And if it meant the fire came back around to nip me, I was prepared.
F*** Teri, F*** 90% of the women in this business.
And outside.
It’s easy to see why they tripped over themselves falling for you.
For every clip about your tits, or firm ass, you know what I meant. I hope you know why I sold you harder than most of the company.
Because you deserved it McGinnis.
Because you’re a rarity in life: someone quite easy to like. You were the one who should have left the wrestling business, got married, and lived in a castle on top of a hill.
I knew you’d grow into more responsibility. I just never expected it to happen elsewhere.
You can’t return.
You’re a part of Coop’s after the old man died. For the kids, I understand. But you came back to a company that’s been living off of what we did right ten years prior.
Don’t blame Melton for the status of the World belt, when you and Eli choose to do nothing a year go. Merritt offered Eli a World title shot. We both know exactly what he offered, but Eli couldn’t find a ‘reason’ to suit up. Lacked the ‘motivation’ to chase the belt.
When did Flair become a freakin’ method actor?
Eli’s a t-shirt now. The cool quota in a music video. Look at why your surroundings are falling apart. Too many people selling themselves to the masses, and not the whole.
Before you call anyone, or thing a mockery of itself, look in the mirror. Both of you.
What do you see Ivy?
I said all the questions have been asked...but one.
Would you come back for me?
If you’re allergic to shambles, the job’s not for you. And I won’t be throwing out a red carpet. You come willing, or don’t come at all.
The promotion doesn’t sell itself anymore. Thomas has the money for one more show on New Year’s Eve. PRIMETIME 500. Most of the riches this company made, it’s pissed away. We lived right, didn’t we? For two years, Hornet traveled to each stop on jetpack. Ninety-thousand seat stadiums were built, and a Park in Texas. And hundreds of people never have to work again.
But home as of December 9, 2004 is a shell. The only sell I have Ivy, are the people. In three weeks, the CSWA celebrates the 500th edition of PRIMETIME in the Merritt Auditorium in Greensboro, NC.
Can you be moved enough to come back for a LAST CALL?
It’s okay to come back home and feel no shame. It’s okay to see the people you only want to see.
This may be the end, but you’re right. It doesn’t have to be.
Will you meet me at the front gate to walk in and meet our fate?
Will you move back home for a NEW BEGINNING?
The CSWA needs the bitch to apply volume control.

Mailto: Miles``xNFW``xJoey Melton is World Champion defending against Hornet...
Timmy Windham bungees back into our hearts...
Poison Ivy and Sammy Benson are at each other’s throats again...
This is the Miles mailbag, can you guess which year of the 90’s I’m talking about?
Oh wait...I’m sorry, apparently my editors are correcting me on this one. You can’t.
Why?
The nightmare isn’t over, the ticket gates are still just as bad. Stephen Thomas, I’d like to give you a round of applause by once again showing us all how to party like it’s 1999!
Up next, Lyle Tallman is found guilty of withholding shareholder secrets as Judge Hornet levies a decision more cataclysmic than Roe v. Wade!
Y’know, every time Disney and the fWo make me want to vomit, the CSWA reminds me exactly how bad things could get in this sport. Its a tough choice, but I’d take a paper trail of champions before a 41 year old Vegan Green Party pacifist any day of the week.
Craig,
I am currently in the middle of redesigning my e-fed page, which fwrestling.com hosts, and was wanting to incorporate CGI and Perl scripts into my web design. Are those able to be used on pages which are hosted on your site?
Thanks, James Cornett
Either this is a cruel joke I don’t want to discuss, or Calvin’s momma is rolling over in her grave...pending the copyright acquisition, of course.
Hey, I was wondering if you know how to do graphics and was willing to work with EwHQ, Inc new project. Please get back to me on AIM/MSN at CGame2004 or email me back.
Cgame,
I can’t tell you how much I wish you would’ve contacted me before Silver Fox did last year.
Craig-
Round 2...name the date.

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. I’m married and let’s face it, if Melton actually reads this thing – it might emasculate him further than what the NFW promo department is titling his recent foray in ‘method acting.’
However, I’m not one to end this without giving you some advice.
Play hard to get.
As you can see in Melton, if you’ve got something the male wants, but can’t get...it’ll go a long way into attracting them into these continuing offers of yours.

Either Beau Michaels got drunk, or Hornet did. Either way, someone hide the poles. To answer #2, I’d have to describe Mike as your everyday, average, simple crackhead anti-christ saviour from the state of Illinois that knows where to find fine Chinese Heroin and goat milk in the same corner stores of Chicago. And seriously, once you get past that pasty, white, Pez powdered nose of his – you really find someone that takes his craft very seriously.
I swear, the man knits like nobody’s business.
Dear “Cocky” Craig Miles, L’Chayim! What is the secret to your success in the wrestling business?
-Marty
From Manson to Judaism references, we spread diversity here. Now Marty, there’s no real secret to the success I’ve found in the wrestling business. Some would reference my sardonic wit, or lunacy like behavior as the cornerstones. Others would look to my veteran status, hard work and dedication. You have those that simply think I’m the devil. You’ve got men that think I’ve backstabbed my way to the top. I will say that the combination of drugs, alcohol, nicotine and coffee certainly help with the hours necessary to maintain my schedule of idiocy...
...but in the end...
Most likely, its just the smoke rings.
So, that about does it folks. Bring me the hate, bring me the love. All I can promise is that unlike Chad and Steve's factory, I’ll give you some rub.

The Ivy League: Happy Hour``xhexedangel``xYou think I don't care, Sammy? Do you really think that? I'm crossing between shocked, hurt, angry, and not surprised. You never understood me or what I was about, but we've always both been honest with each other. You really think I don't care, you'd best take a second and think about what you're saying - maybe gain some of that all - encompassing perspective I'm always talking about.
This is my home, Sammy. The CSWA is where I always want to return to. I think it's unfair to say, after ten years, that I've abandoned the place - that Eli has abandoned the place. Merritt, I can't speak for. I don't know what's going on inside that man's head, and anyone who does is just... scary. But to say I don't care... f**k you, Sammy - I care too f**king much, so much I can't even explain it.
Do you know what it's like to see a place you love slowly reduced to a mockery of itself? To see the days of Hornet and GUNS going at it, to see Mark Windham tearing shit up, to see Eddy and Randalls destroy each other every night turned into the Joey Melton show, all over again? I know he's your boy, I know he's my boy, and I know what he's meant to the business in general and the CSWA specifically over the years, but to be handed the belt for no concrete reason? I'm ashamed that he accepted it, knowing what kind of man he is.
Is it becoming clear, Sammy? The promotion that Eli Flair and Troy Windham nearly killed each other over is gone. It's really as simple as that. The CSWA can no longer support the type of war that these two men waged on each other.
Maybe that's the reason, in and of itself. The CSWA I loved and would've gladly died for is gone, and it's just too goddamn hard to stick around and watch Rome burn. I can't even begin to tell you what this company has meant to me. What this company has meant to the professional wrestling business. I can't even pretend to tell you, Sammy, what you, Buckley, and Rudy have meant to me, professionally and personally, in the past ten years.
I came to this company because I felt an obligation to Eli, to keep his head on straight while we both dealt with my sister's death. I never expected to find a home, or to find friends like I've got. Sammy, every time you were fired from this company, my heart sank. To a lot of us - to the people who know... the draw of the CSWA was Sammy Benson. Not Hornet, not Windham, not Randalls... the CSWA lived and breathed because of the wit and whimsey of Sammy Benson, and if you think I'm saying that out of some mealymouthed obligation to throw something from your column back at you, you really don't know me.
It's too damn hard to do either, Sammy. To work for a company wearing the mask of something dear to me, or to watch that same company go down in flames. Call me a coward, call me a turncoat - but I can't be there to watch it die. If this is going to be the end of the CSWA, then God help me, I'd rather not be there for it.
But you forget who I am, Sammy. I don't have your point of view. I'm not lucky enough to have a singular view of the world. The things I do, the decisions I make don't just affect me. They affect myself, Eli, Mariella, Angel, and the rest of Valerian's Garden. I have to have a perspective on things beyond the CSWA. I have to have a view of the big picture, or I won't be of use to anyone, least of all, myself.
How dare you mistake my reluctance to watch the ship go down, for indifference. How dare you try to tell me that I'm being selfish for staying out of the way.
You don't know me at all, Sammy.
You never figured out what makes me tick, did you?
Are you sticking around until the last curtain goes down, Sammy? Really? Do you swear to me, that you'll never stop fighting?
Because if you're going to stay until the end... the bitter end... then regardless of when that is, I'll stand there with you until such time comes. If the end never comes, then so much the better.
But when I'm sticking with the business, trying to stay visible during downtimes in the CSWA and you and Buckley are off doing whatever it is that you do when you're not on the air, remember which of us truly loves the business and which of us is just going through the motions for the paycheck and the TV time.
The company forgot me, Sammy... long before I ever forgot the company. Because I never forgot.
The bottom line, ironically enough... is simple. Don't you ever assume you know me, and don't you ever assume that my love for the CSWA is less than all-encompassing.
You know how to get in touch with me, Sammy - and if it's truly last call, than I'll be happy to buy the round. Just remember that I never gave up on the CSWA, not truly.
If there's still one other person that truly believes in the name... then they're not standing alone.
This is Ivy.``xEEpkVVllklOGquOFgW``x1102562428``xwire``x56481091824871``xPoison Ivy``xhttp://www.cswawrestling.com``x``x``x``xivywire.gif``x``xCSWA``xDon't think you know me, Sammy... you never did.``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Happy Hour``xChad``xGreetings Internet dwellers, I’m Sammy Benson. Your new master, the man that’s paid with the last sixteen years of my life just to be able to lead you away from money shots, and single Asian women looking to marry!
Alas, I’ve failed. More of you are ******* at terminals across the country than ever before, and for my failure, in place of shame Merritt’s found a loophole in my last signed CSWA contract that states essentially, he’s my Daddy. It’s amazing what you’ll overlook in writing when abusing prescription medication. Really. Kids, do try this at home.
Mister Merritt’s sent me to hell. Or the ‘net equivalent: Fwrestling.com. My writings for the last two decades have failed to inspire much of you, and as Chad sinks deeper into self-hatred the bitterness that having a company once masked, has wormed from the cracks of his black heart to repay those (read: me) who fought him at every turn when the Sun still rose and darkness had not complete control over his heart. But I fear young ones that our Dear Father has gone the way of Jim J. Bullock, and Bill Fagerbakke who so effortlessly gave radiant life to Michael “Dauber” Dybinksi from the late ‘80s sit-com “Coach”.
Chad’s moved into self-parody.
Oh sure, with chin held high he’s spun his ouster from CS Enterprises. Whoring himself through the dark alleyways in Hollywood known as auditions, taking PA jobs with Oprah’s production company just to poison the staff against a hailed overweight do-gooder. This Christmas, while Thomas leads the CSWA to another milestone, Merritt if he has his way will be staging a coup, and replacing Dr. Phil.
How the mighty have fallen, indeed.
I expected Chad to have regained control over CS Enterprises, or as we who attempt to cash checks from the company call it, “Titanic in wrestling form.”
But he’s pulled off a move far more surprising to this sobering old man.
Merritt’s turned his back on us.
And he’s not the only one.
Is he, Ivy?
Let me preface my comments by saying it’s entirely possible I’m just jealous because Merritt, Ivy, and Eli have done what I’ve wanted to do for sixteen years.
Move on.
Maybe I’m hopelessly bitter, fresh off a three-month tour that had us all straddling that thin line between death, and the reopening of the wet bar.
Maybe.
Maybe I see the end coming, and I sure as hell never thought I’d be the one left to bury the body, and comfort the loved ones who never saw the Reaper paying a visit.
Despite my best intentions, the dreams I set aside to be a part of the greatest wrestling organization the world’s ever seen. I’m the one left in the empty arena, softly asking, “Is it over?” Denying that it played to fruition like this.
On the surface, maybe I don’t begrudge Merritt, McGinnis, and Flair for reading the writing on the wall and filing for separation early; the latter having made their home elsewhere for four years now.
But, my heart says, “F*** you all.”
F*** you for leaving Buckley and I to identify the body, and lead the service that’s irrefutably coming. If you’ve never taken me serious before, please do so now when I say, “Don’t you dare come back.”
I know it’s the smart move.
But it hurts nonetheless, and I never thought you three people were capable of hurting the very thing that gave birth to you. But, I’ve been proven wrong. Have before, but there’s a difference in being discredited when Hornet won a 4th CSWA title, or when Love and Melton couldn’t stay friends. Three of the people who laid the foundation, brick by brick, cashed in and are now content to let us sink.
I won’t say Ivy, that you sold out, because I know this company has let you down. It’s let Eli down; it’s let all of us down. And if I’m the one that’s been tabbed to issue last rites, then McGinnis, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you had to go elsewhere to find fulfillment. I’m sorry that in the end the CSWA couldn’t be everything to you it needed to be.
I respect you for making a hard decision, but may you still rot in hell.
I remember where I was when I heard you’d be shot. I know we’d bickered, and took nasty shots at each other behind the other’s backs....but I lived for that. You made the CSWA for me. You took the ball I rolled up the hill, and you found a bigger one and over the last five years have conquered more mountains than I ever have. And I’ve loved watching every minute of it. You bitch.
I remember being in a rental driving East on I-40, when my cell rang. My heart stopped, kid. Not you. Not in a dump that you had no right being in. I cried. I’m not ashamed to say this drunken old fool broke down.
But then, the phone rang again.
And it kept ringing, ringing, until an angel gave me the word, “She’s pulled through.”
I’ll be dead soon enough I’m afraid, but I don’t know yet how that feels. You were close. Maybe you saw a light, and the light told you to stop wasting time.
Whatever the case may be; your office in CS Towers hasn’t been visited in months. You have a job, but seem to be begging to be fired. To have the cord pulled, because that last step is the hardest and you can’t take it yourself.
I’ve seen you fight for one federation, but not the CSWA.
Perhaps, the fight’s too big for you to win. That very well may be true, but I can’t forgive you for not trying. And I won’t ever.
Just as I can’t forgive Merritt.
Windham’s gone.
Hornet’s not even booked for PRIMETIME 500.
Eli stopped off on the PCL long enough to pee.
Randalls is off beating some mountain trail for new breeds of mushrooms with Joseph Melton.
It’s the LAST CALL, and it’s just Buckley and I.
If I have to say she’s dead, then, ladies and gentlemen, she’s passed on.
But, not before I told you how I really felt. Not before Ivy, I let you know you could go **** yourself.
It’s the FINAL CHAPTER, and I’ve been left alone.
Damn you all for leaving me.
Damn you all for forgetting the company that put your name in lights, and the man who sold your asses better than you ever have yourself.
You know I’m right, and maybe...that’s what hurts worst of all.``xEEpkZFpZuEEnlohUHD``x1102523940``xwire``x56481091824871``xSammy Benson``xhttp://cswawrestling.com``x``x``x``xhappyhour.gif``x``x``xAlone``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

No WWE Superstars signed to A1E, NEW or Empire``xtholzerman``xA1E
A1E returned from their tour of Japan with a resounding success in the box office; however, unless your name is Ken Cloverleaf and you held a championship, you were greeted to less than successful results at Cyber Brutality. Chip Friendly, the Weston Outlaws, Duchess and Roderick McRatrick all lost their titles (Survivor, Tag, Cyber and Triple Star respectively) to Mr. Incredible, the Canadian Revolution, James Irish and Damon Blackburn, respectively. Cloverleaf held onto his title only by virtue of a double disqualification against Torment.
Upon coming back to the states, there was a HUGE shock as Beast joined the Canadian Revolution at the close of the first stateside Tuesday Night Wrestling in almost two months. It was a move that stunned the entire locker room and wrestling community. The last time something of this magnitude took place in this reporters opinion was when Hulk Hogan joined the New World Order. Beast made his intentions known when he came down and attacked Big Dog while he was aiding Duchess from an attack on the Revolution, whcih is also comprised of AJ Cirrus and BC Steele. Empire Pro Speaking of Beast, he got the week off in the ring at the last Aggression in Tulsa, but he shot his mouth off at the top of the show, directing his venom at "Your Hero" Sebastian Dodd. Dodd and Beast have been trading barbs week after week, and Beast felt he had something to say. For his troubles, Dodd was rewarded with an Intercontinental Title shot against JA.
That title shot will take place on the first of three Texas-sized shows leading up to EPW's fourth pay-per-view event, Russian Roulette in Houston. The tournament to crown a new number one contender heats up with impressive newcomer Dis taking on Adam Benjamin and Clapper, fresh of a cheap win over Cross, taking on Troy Douglas.
In the other big news of the week, Boogie Smallz was fired for failing a drug test on the air. The last standing GXW Champion was blindsided by the announcement, and no word yet on what actions he'll be taking, if any. New ERA New ERA's second pay-per-view event, BattleBRAWL, is nearly upon us, and there is a lot of friction heading into the big battle royale to decide the Television Champion. As of yet, the main players in the match look to be Jason Payne, Cameron Cruise, The Phantom Republican, John Doe and Madonna Wayne Gossard, whose contraversial promo featuring Ashlee Simpson tossing Krist Blue's salad turned some heads. It looks to be a hot match, even if no one else decides to show up.
The other two matches are for gold as well, as Jean Rabesque, with DREDD lookign over his shoulder, will take on Chaos and ANTEUS in a steel cage brawl for his NEW World Championship. Will we find out who the masked ANTEUS is? The world may never know. The woman's Spin-a-Wheel, Make a Deal match ought to be hot as well. NEW hopes to bring Women's wrestling back to the forefront, something that hasn't been done on the FW circuit for awhile.``xEEpEVkluyukRPgUyaq``x1101532064``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe Informer``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com``xBut there sure was some action going on!``x``xnews.jpg``x``x``xA1E/EPW/NEW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Last Man Standing - Three days to go``xChris``xHCWF has endured a tough past month, with numerous events unfolding before our very eyes.
The "Rising Star" Chris Ramus will finally recieve his shot at the HCWF World Heavyweight Championship after performing well in the company over the past two years, taking on champion Aussie Crippler.
Aussie has always been seen as the indefinate World Champion of the promotion, being at the peak of his success at the official debut of Chris Ramus two years ago. With the pair meeting in competition twice in the past couple of weeks, both men hold wins over each other.
To add insult to injury, a returning GhOsTDre will act as the match official. GhOsTDre was forced to retire as HCWF World Champion due to personal problems, but has now returned. With Aussie causing him many grievences during GhOsTDre's span as champion, it is uncertain how this match will go.
"The Thunder From Down Under" Barra will defend his commissionership against GhOsTDre at Last Man Standing. Barra was also forced to retire due to neck problems, wrestling his last match as one half of the "Global Assualt" tag team. With GhOsTDre's reappearance proving a potential threat to Barra's power, Barra has realised that it is a 'now or never' situation.
The newly established HCWF Australian Championship will also be on the line, as the vacant belt will be put on the line for eight debuting competitors.

More Former WWE Stars Being Signed``xWill Towns``xSeveral wrestlers and employees of the RFoW questioned whether A-Train, Rodney Mack, and Jazz should be signed following their sudden release from the WWE. Most of those that questioned the decision, felt like the RFoW was better suited for homegrown talent or indy stars. However, in the two weeks they've been signed, most of those that questioned the decision have accepted the three as their own.
A-Train was accepted almost immediately as he was apparantely "hazed" the night he arrived at the show, as all of his clothes were "hidden" by several wrestlers, and he took the joke and ran with it, finding it as funny as those that did it.
Rodney Mack and Jazz, who have been married for under a year, have been accepted a little less, because, for the most part, they keep to themselves, wanting to spend their spare moments with each other, rather than with the rest of the roster. Most people cannot blame them, as the travel schedule of wrestlers does not allow for much alone time. However, nobody has found either wrestler as standoffish. Quite the opposite, both have been thought of as friendly.
With the acceptance in the lockerroom of these former WWE stars, Jordan Caldwell, right hand woman of owner Evan Reddick, has been in talks with several former WWE wrestlers, but none that have been confirmed signed. One such talent that she has talked to is Jamie Noble, however, he was released from the WWE due to testing positive for steroid use and he has, as of yet, not undergone treatment. Much like the WWE, the RFoW hopes to stay clear of steroid or drug related news stories, so he will most likely not be hired.
Other names have not been released as of yet, but as they are, we will keep you posted on the outcome of the talks.``xEEpEpEkVVlFnUyEVPQ``x1101016158``xoldnews``x``xWill Towns``xhttp://www.phoenix13designs.com/rfow``xJust a week after signing recently fired WWE superstars, A-Train, Rodney Mack, and Jazz, the RFoW considers hiring more non-homegrown talent for the RFoW.``x66.156.32.100;;Will Towns;;cphoenix77@hotmail.com``x``x``x``xRFoW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Priest injured at Aggression, walks out``xtholzerman``xEmpire Pro Wrestling star Priest injured his triceps against his Russian Roulette opponent Dis at this past Aggression in Tulsa, Okla., and he has reportedly walked out on his contract with EPW.
Sources say that Priest was visibly upset after the match and refused medical attention from Empire trainers. He walked out of the arena before the event was over. Sources also say just as cameras went off the air, Empire Pro chairman Dan Ryan received a phone call from a payphone at a Tulsa area hospital from Priest saying that he wished to be released from his Empire contract.
"His heart was never in wrestling," close friend and Empire Pro Intercontinental Champion JA said. "He wanted to be The Rock, but he didn't want to work the way The Rock did."
Priest was notorious for being unhappy and haphazard everywhere he went. Sources say Priest was never unhappy with the people around him, but with the business himself.
"I never had any problems with any of the guys in the locker room," the former Empire star said. "It's just wrestling was never for me."
Priest was fined half of his guaranteed earnings for breaching his Empire contract despite his injury. A spokesman from Empire said that the company would have gladly paid for his medical fees had he gone about things the right way.
Hans "Eisenkreuz" Gluck, who had an on-screen role as Priest's bodyguard, has not left the company, but will not continue as an on-air personality. He has accepted a job on the training staff and on security.``xEEpEpEkEkktmAPvXws``x1101015722``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xEPW Informer``xhttp://www.fwrestling.com/host/EmpirePro/main.htm``xEmpire Pro Wrestling star Priest injured his triceps against his Russian Roulette opponent Dis at this past Aggression in Tulsa, Okla., and he has reportedly walked out on his contract with EPW.``x``xfw85x85.gif``x``x``xEPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
The Rise of UWC Wrestling!!!!``xMatthew Haas``xUWC is finally on the rise and has opened it's doors to the world of professional Wrestling!!!! We heard rumors and talks of this new and exciting company on the rise in rescent months. Now the time has come and it's official! the press room of New York City's newspapers has been very busy lately trying to catch a glimpse of the excitement and put the rumors to the test. I jim Burrows had taken the liberty of purchasing a ticket to a UWC event. A non-televised event coined UWC 'Rampage Tour'
It was held at the ESL Sports Center in Rochester New York. Not a huge arena but it filled up quickly in the first hour at the start of the show. I was front row and let me tell you UWC might only have a small band of Wrestlers on their roster but very talented ones might I add. They put on a hell of a debut show! It was awesome, a stellar debut by UWC and Tom Clark, the UWC owner. clark came out and introduced himself with much oblidged hospitality. What a great bunch of guys to meet.
I was invited backstage to do a small report for our Newspaper and they welcomed me with oepn arms and I got a bunch of autographs from the wrestlers who performed that night without any harassment from the security that was there.I give this company props! Two thumbs up from Jim Burrows via from the New York Post! they also asked of me to announce that UWC is now accepting applications from any free agents out there looking for work or young talent that are looking to get their chance! If I were you, I would get in on the action... It would be a night you will never forget!

Update on FWrestling``xChad``xMy apologies to those of you who had trouble with the site while I was away. Unfortunately, I've been traveling for work for the last month solid, some of which was planned in advance, some of which was last-minute. At the same time, one of our admins (who shall remain nameless) lost his log-in info and thus was unable to do some updates as well.
We've also had two hackings which, thankfully, I was able to correct while I was on the road. Unfortunately, I had to use an old backup which left the right side of the pages partly non-functional. I'll be working to correct that by the Thanksgiving break. The Top 10s and Latest FW Central Posts will be fixed, and I'm hopeful that we'll get the Weekly Wire back underway as well.
As always, if you have any suggestions or ways that you could help, please let me know at chad@fwrestling.com.

Payne signs with EPW``xJason Payne``xLOUSIVILLE, KENTUCKY - This morning at a press conference, Jason Payne announced that he had signed a contract with Empire Pro Wrestling ending months of speculation as to where the former "Dog of War" was going to next. Dressed in a dark business suit, Payne spoke to a group of about 20 reporters and a crowd of 150 about recent events, and his future in the world of professional wrestling.
"I feel really good about the relationship between myself and Empire Pro. We both end up as winners in this deal."
Payne, a 12 year veteran of the ring, was last seen in a wrestling ring late last year participating in New Frontier Wrestling's (NFW) tournament to crown a new Ultra Champion. During week 5 of that tournament, Payne was seriously injured at the hands of Chris "The Wolf" McMillan. Wrestling in a "Dog Collar Match", McMillan pulled Payne from the top turnbuckle to the concrete floor as Payne was attempting a high risk move. Payne's neck was severely injured during the match. Remarkably, he was able to not only finish the match, he came out on the winning end. Doctors gave Payne a grim prognosis on a possible return to the ring.
"The doctors all told me that I should prepare myself for the possibility that I might never wrestle again. I never prepared for that. My plan was just to get back to wrestling as fast as I could. This is my life. Without this, I have nothing."
That statement couldn't be more true for Payne. A former member of the U.S. Navy, he was dishonorably discharged after striking an officer. Payne has never denied that occured and admits it adds to his in-ring persona as a roughousing tough guy. "This is probablly the only business in the world where something like that can happen to you, yet it works to your advantage."
Payne teased a return in NFW over the summer as he resurfaced after almost a year of being absent. However, with NFW's Ultratitle tournament winding down, Payne decided against actively participating on the active roster and instead opted to appear in a few gimmick matches. When asked about NFW's thoughts on his signing with EPW, Payne did not flinch.
"Like I said before. It's a good relationship. NFW is finishing up their Ultratitle tournament over there, so there isn't really any reason for me to wrestle over there until the next season starts. I have no intentions of leaving NFW. But I'm a competitor. If I want to have a chance at winning the Ultratitle next season, I need to start working towards it now. NFW understands this, and Empire Pro is fully aware of my contractual obligations with NFW."
Payne was quick to note however that this did not mean he would leave EPW at the drop of a hat.
"I'm in this thing for the long haul. Like I said, this is a chance for me to get back to doing what I do best. And this is a chance for EPW to be able to push itself even further by adding someone like me to their roster."
Payne's wrestling career started in 1992. In that time he has wrestled throughout the South and the Northeast. He has held several titles including the NWA, ACF/NAWA Hardcore Titles, and the MSWF and ACF/NAWA Tag-Team titles.``xEpAAZlEEEybPVMYMMm``x1099784716``xoldnews``x``xBill Baxter``x``xThis morning at a press conference, Jason Payne announced that he had signed a contract with Empire Pro Wrestling ending months of speculation as to where the former "Dog of War" was going to next. ``x68.10.185.15;;Jason Payne;;pingsteal@hotmail.com``xnews.jpg``x``x``xEPW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

10/12 Tuesday Night Warfare Report``xtholzerman``xA1E's TNW almost tore down Osaka, Japan, as Ken Cloverleaf successfully defended his A1E World Heavyweight Championship on the second leg of the fed's Japanese tour.
Cloverleaf's victory over former tag partner "Sensational" Stephen Shane wasn't squeaky clean though, as he needed the help of his Highland Park Social Club comrades to come away with the submission victory. At the end of the night though, an outgunned and outmanned Shane received help in the form of Mr. Incredible, and Cross as Torment looked on, not showing what side he would take.
Incredible's beef with the HPSC escalated as he lost his Survivor Championship to Chip Friendly via the Smiley Face. Friendly didnt' stop there, as he beat down Incredible after the match. This is an issue that is far from resolved.
Cross and Slambo the Clown also did battle, and battle was the opportune word. In a match many hailed as being the best on the card, the two warriors duked it out to a double count out draw.
Torment maybe didn't get involved in the fracas at the end because he has interests on both sides. Everyone knows there's no love lost between Torment and Cloverleaf as referenced by Torment's brutal chair attack on Cloverleaf to earn himself a disqualification loss in Yokohama. However, Torment may have earned the HPSC's begrudging respect after seamlessly tagging with Richard Farnswirth in their contest with Beast and Big Dog. Torment also has no love lost for Stephen Shane either.
Speaking of that tag match, Beast and Big Dog pulled out a win after Beast blind-tagged Big Dog, who was in control, to gain the pinfall victory. There were tensions before the match as to why Beast didn't help former tag partner Kanna Kirishima after she was beaten down by AJ Cirrus and Kid Canada after she lost a non-title match to Triple Star Champion Roderick McRatrick. Beast claimed to have tried to be the hero in the tag match despite Big Dog's control on teh match. Stay tuned here.
Speaking of Kirishima, her savage attack might ahve been prevented had AJ Cirrus and Kid Canada not locked James Irish in a cage beforehand. Expect severe ramifications from the former Fredonia DJ against the Canadians.
In the Cyber Title match, Duchess and Damon Blackburn also fought to a draw. After the match, Damon and his valet Kira Kai viciously attacked Duchess until James Irish came onto the scene to ward them off. Thankfully for Kanna though, the Weston Outlaws surprisingly made the save. Speaking of the Outlaws, they scored a non-title victory over BC Steele and AJ Cirrus.
In the continuing saga of Haven and Gladiator, Gladiator sneak-attacked Haven before their match to open the show. Haven absorbed massive punishment, and dished some out on his own, before falling to Gladiator. However, after the match, Haven nailed Gladiator with an RTD after Gladiator tried to get Housefly to come out of the stands and fight him. However, Haven got some revenge exacted on him by Justin Evitable, who repayed Haven's attack on him last week with one this week.
Speaking of Mr. Evitable, he and James Irish scored an impressive tag team victory over Jack Blade and Micheal James. Blade and James both will miss time due to personal matters. The Informer and the A1E Staff wish them the best and a speedy return.
The Oct. 25 edition of TNW will come to you from Hiroshima. The card features Duchess battling Ken CLoverleaf in a dual non-title match, James Irish battling Damon Blackburn for Number One Contendership of the Cyber Title and a handicap match with Gladiator and Drifter taking on Haven.``xEpAZlykAkpwkgvNEBF``x1097866520``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe A1E Informer``xhttp://www.a1e.ca``xA1E's TNW almost tore down Osaka, Japan, as Ken Cloverleaf successfully defended his A1E World Heavyweight Championship on the second leg of the fed's Japanese tour.``x``xdefault.jpg``x``x``xA1E``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

While their intentions are yet to be known, most fans are speculating that this most certainly means trouble for L.O.V.E. and President Sean Edmunds.
Maelstrom and Dan Ryan are set to make their debuts at WFW's first live show in Mexico, Guerra Interminable. Maelstrom will face the current BAD World Heavyweight Champion Jared Wells in a non title match while Dan Ryan will tag with the man who he faced at the Superbowl of Wrestling and current number #1 contender, Copycat against the WFW North American Champion Psycho and Scotty Michaels.

20 Man Blood Bath Match Approaches``xKMAJackson``xFor years it has been a tradition in the EUWC! Every October, 20 men climb into a steel cage with one thing in mind. A shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. This year is no different as the 20 Man Blood Bath Match will make it's fifth appearance at EUWC Blood Bath.
The idea; which is similar to the Royal Rumble match; is commonly referred to as one of the most brutal matches in professional wrestling. A steel cage surrounds the ring. Twenty men draw numbers between one and twenty and then enter the cage according to the number they drew, at equally timed intervals. Elimination occurs by pinfall, submission or failure to continue. The last man remaining in the cage receives the all important chance at the World Heavyweight Title.
In previous years, the Blood Bath match has seen new stars arise and many memorable moments. In 1996; the Blood Bath Match debut year; Don "Heart Throb" Hall shocked the world and earned the moniker of "Human Highlight Reel" when he ascended to the top of the cage and exceuted a moonsault back into the ring onto a standing RAGE. In that year, STEALTH would be the man to survive all the odds and win the match, last eliminating Hall. In 1996, the prize would also crown the EUWC's very first North American Champion.
In 1997, the world witnessed a truly titanic struggle in the final four. Don "Heart Throb" Hall, HICAL, YAHOO and "The Russian Bear" Dan Sokolov battled it out for the number one spot. HICAL would take care of Sokolov while Hall eliminated YAHOO. And in the end, the world witnessed HICAL and Hall in a double pin, crowning co-winners to the ultimate annual Blood Bath. Both men would go on to receive a shot at the World Heavyweight Title, but HICAL would make the most of it, by defeating STEALTH for the title in January of 1998.
Fast forward to the year 2000 and we arive at the first time the Blood Bath match was contested with only sixteen men. The year's event saw the young up and coming superstar, Kritical Kondition emerge as the winner after having to take on former World Tag Team Champions Joe "The Hardcore Event" Johnson and "The Hitman" Tony DeLucci in the end of the match. After single-handedly eliminating the Tag team specialists, Kritical Kondition would ascend to the World Heavyweight title shot; which he would never receive due to contract negotiations failing to re-sign the superstar.
2003 marks the most controversial finish to the Blood Bath match in the history of the event. With five men remaining in the match, fans anticipation grew to a fever pitch as they awaited a winner to be declared. Sean taylor, HICAL and Angel of Death were all brawling at the top of the cage wall. Meanwhile, down below, Lynch Garrisson picked up the gigantic Paul Doom and hurled him into that same cage wall. In a moment that will never be forgotten, the force of the blow and the weight on the cage wall, forced the wall to break free of the rest of the ring and fall over, crashing to the ground. Garrisson would leave the ring and sort through the rubble, pinning all four of the remaining opponents. However due to the controversial nature of the finish, Garrisson wasn't awarded the World Title shot. Instead, all five men were awarded the shot at the title in an Elimination Chamber match with Lord Alucard the following month.
This year, with a new field of twenty men, anything can happen. Certainly any man could walk into Blood Bath as a lower contender and leave the event as the number one contender. With the list of superstars like Damian Stone, Paul Doom, Holocaust, Lord Alucard, Ray Santana and others, this year's Blood Bath match could be one of the most highly contested matches in EUWC history. With all the uncertainties that the Blood Bath match holds, several things are certain. Blood will be shed, bodies will be battered, and twenty men will never be the same again after entering the most dangerous match in the EUWC.
EUWC Blood Bath 2004 takes place on October 31, 2004; LIVE from the Tokyo Egg Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The event is available only on Pay Per View.``xEpAZlVpFFkkvxosItt``x1097853932``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xKeith Jackson``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/euwc``xFor years it has been a tradition in the EUWC!

Introducing... The Informer``xtholzerman``xSo here I am. Yet another wire reporter, shoving his opinion in places where it might not noticed, recognized or even wanted in some cases. Whoopdy-doo, right?
Well, you can say whatever, but really as I liken myself, I am an informer. And informers inform. This place seems to be a little disinformed when it comes to Empire Pro or New ERA, and especially when it comes to A1E.
Oooh, A1E. A bad word (acronym?) in some parts around here. Yeah, some folks around here don't like the way things are done in A1E. Some people have a bad taste in their mouths from experiences there. The fact is though, in this reporter's opinion, A1E is one of the best. Even if you don't agree with the way things are done, you have to admit, the guys who run the place make the trains run on time. Of course, Mussolini could claim the same thing, but then again, blind squirrels find a nut from time to time. The folks over at A1E aren't exactly blind, nor are they squirrels.
A lot of the backlash against A1E is that a lot of times, it seems secretive and cliquish. No one seems to want to give a public opinion, because when that happens, bad things tend to happen.
Still, there needs to be public opinion on A1E. And I'm the guy to give it. Maybe I'll be the guy who brings detente between the majorities here at FW and those over at A1E. Or maybe I'll just be ignored. Either way, you can't say I didn't try.
Anyway, probably the biggest deal that happened on A1E TV this week was that longtime color commentator Iron Duke was replaced by Sal Scantlin. I know there was some backlash on the sites, especially at hearing the word "fairy" every other sentence, but the guy is at the very least attention grabbing. By the way, what's the over/under on when Kayla Wilson is going to slap this guy in the face for making a sexist remark? I'm gonna go with three weeks.
Of course, there's going to be disappointment when an old mainstay leaves. Imagine how the WWF felt when they had to replace Bobby Heenan, or if they ever have to replace Jerry Lawler for good? I know him shouting "Puppies" isn't exactly riveting TV to us, but to the mouf-breavers, it's classic stuff. Wait, my snob is showing. Gotta tuck it back in.
I'd say give Wilson and Scantlin some time to gel. Who knows, maybe they'll develop a charisma all their own. And maybe Damon Blackburn will develop a personality all his own now that Scantlin's not in his corner anymore.
As I said previously, I'll be covering Empire Pro and New ERA as well, seeing as though they're both feds I watch and know. And the first rule of journalism is to comment only on what you know.
So expect more from me. Especially with DREDD on the horizon and with the EPW tag division heating up.``xEpAyZZkFlVSXDrxPDK``x1096775985``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Informer``xhttp://www.a1e.ca``x``x``x``xweekendwire.gif``x``xA1E/EPW/NEW``xLike the title says, an introduction``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Wrestler of the year status as of this show.
Last week we got:
Ric Chronos The Flying Frenchie Vince Jacobs Deacon
This week we got:
Gianni Flair High Flyer Brand
This kind of says something about the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal-- the supposedly dominant stable right now-- having just one member in there.
What? That’s It?
And that’s really about it for new developments (if you can call anything we see on tv anymore “new”) as we’re looking at a holding pattern around the wrestler of the year stuff, with all the match action being an aborted tag team match, and Brand working for the man keeping Milo down in his place.
Without a doubt the most interesting stuff at the moment is the saga of poor ole Milo Samus. Everyone on the roster is supposedly struggling with the current fWo management, but we’re really only seeing Milo actually struggling here, which gives his particular story a lot of life.
The S5S are protected under the heel academy thing supposedly. The Mighty Heroes are being somewhat cooperative with alleged reluctance. (Outraged at a stable trying to get over I guess) Everyone else is kind of swept under a bit. Perhaps a flow chart would be helpful.
Another odd little tidbit is that we didn’t see the World Champ in action, and yet Brand had to double up tonight. Though I suppose if BQ crushed Milo’s dreams instead of the Mighty Hero it wouldn’t be as tastefully ironic.
That’s all the lies you need for this we-
Oh, I suppose I should address all the anger.
Paul Heyman’s Feminine Side Has Words For Me
If Ivy says she tried as hard as she could, and that she’s given up from now on trying to help lead her company away from the influence of its corporate fiends, she’s justified. If she couldn’t do it, we can trust the fact that she’s given it her best, and there’s nothing to be done about it. If she’s too tired and exhausted to be the only person left that’s willing to stand up to them, then we should let her off the hook and allow her to focus her energy on managing someone who is already over and coasting through the next few months until she gets her second wind and tries to care again.
;)
This is Joe Black, and you’ve been reading lies.
And with one note of truth, I’ll conclude.
Who the hell is “Poison Ivy” to rip on me for having a name that was appropriated by a movie company?
And I know I’ve heard of Poison Ivy someplace else…
Uma Thurman Versus Family Values With Latex Fetish Now I’ll be first to admit that my stupid movie sucked ass, as I haven’t been able to sit through watching it. But I have learned something. Movies with bad acting do well in foreign markets. It’s a simple process. If people are reading subtitles, they’re not listening to someone’s lousy delivery rendering actors and actresses as important as clothing store mannequins. Meet Joe Black DVD sales continue to do well in South Korea, which gives me hope for the end of the year check from the foreign markets, as opposed to the monthly check from US rentals that sometimes rise as high as thirty cents.

WrestleVerse rocks Denver; EPW Tag Division blows up``xtholzerman``xBig things happened at Empire's latest pay-per-view event, WrestleVerse I, which took place in Denver, Colo. Beast and JA retained their titles, while the Tag Team division took on a whole new dynamic with new champions and new and familiar faces breaking into the forefront.
In the main event, Beast retained his World Championship in a hard fought match against Boogie Smallz and Adam Benjamin. Smallz wasn't much of a factor, as the last claimant of the GXW World Championship was savagely attacked by the Dark Carnival. Beast and Benjamin reprised their war from a few weeks ago on Aggression in front of the PPV stage though. It's safe to say they tore down the house.
The Dark Carnival wasn't the only tag team that made a shocking debut or return to Empire Pro. Blitz and the first ever EPW Tag Champs Crimson Calling returned, making their marks with attacks on various wrestlers during the night. Add them to an already deep tag team pool of The Cameron Cruise Project, Sands and Troy, Second Coming and Golem and Executioner, and EPW's tag division looks the strongest it's ever been.
Speaking of the tag division, new Tag Champions were crowned as Christian Sands and Lindsay Troy defeated the Cruise Project (Joey Melton and Cruise) to capture the belts.
In what might have been the match of the night, JA legitimized his claim to the Intercontinental Championship when he pinned Jonathan Marx cleanly in the middle of the ring in a three way match also featuring Sebastian Dodd.
In other results, Pulsar dismantled X in record time. Second Coming defeated Golem and Executioner, but after that match, both teams were assailed by Crimson Calling and Blitz.
Cross, making his Empire debut, battled former number one contender Troy Douglas to a draw. Douglas went from former number one contender to current number one contender after Dan Ryan took up his ultimatum to make him the number one contender to Beast or else face litgation. Douglas will face Beast at Aggression 13.
Karl Brown defeated John Doe with the Dragon's Bite. In other Doe happenings, his relationship with Troy Douglas might be hitting the rocks sooner than expected, seeing that he think eh doesn't need Douglas anymore. Doe is trying to get his memory back, and he thinks he will be able to.
Also, things might have heated up between Sebastian Dodd and Adam Benjamin. Both men taunted each other after each's failed attempts at winning EPW gold. WrestleVerse concluded with Benjamin and Dodd staring each other down. What could this mean? We shall see in the coming days.``xEpAyZVlkkptWVlLVSy``x1096761820``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe Empire Informer``xhttp://fwrestling.com/content/coranto.cgi?session=caokdjdutdsIevSDnW&x=449&profname=11691091823717&action=xms-submit``xBig things happened at Empire's latest pay-per-view event, WrestleVerse I, which took place in Denver, Colo.

9/28/04 Tuesday Night Warfare Results from Yokohama``xtholzerman``xA1E's Tuesday Night Warfare stepped into Asia for the first time in the show's almost four year history with a landmark broadcast from Yokohama, Japan.
In the main event, Torment challenged newly crowned A1E World Champion Ken Cloverleaf in a non-title match and lost it. Cloverleaf won by disqualification, but he paid a big price when Torment leveled him with a steel chair to cause that DQ.
In other happenings, former XWF superstar Haven made his debut, viciously attacking Gladiator and aligning himself with ousted Empire leader Housefly. Another notable return was Justin Evitable, former MBE Extreme Champion. Evitable's comeback is impressive since he suffered career-threatening injuries from a car accident a few months back.
Also, Sal Scantlin made a big splash, replacing the Iron Duke as TNW's color commentator alongside Kayla Wilson. Scantlin retired as Damon Blackburn's manager to take the position.
In the results of the other matches, El Pantera and X-Rated battled to a draw. El Pantera also has injured his left patella tendon and will miss substantial time. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Cross defeated Suicidal Killer in a First Blood match. It was both men's first match back after extended hiatuses.
Mr. Incredible's mystery partner turned out to be two mystery partners, as Sensational Stephen Shane and Cross, who pulled double duty, helped the new Survivor Champion pull off a victory over the Highland Park Social Club team of Chip Friendly and Slambo the Clown.
Roderick McRatrick fended off the fiesty B.C. Steele in a match where a snapmare had to be executed before you could pin your opponent to retain his Triple Star Championship.
The Weston Outlaws retained their Tag Team Championships over Micheal James and JAck Blade, while AJ Cirrus defeated Gladiator and Kanna Kirishima in a three way match. The paths of thsoe winners would cross, as AJ Cirrus viciously attacked the Tag Champs later on in the show.
James Irish and Duchess defeated Damon Blackburn and Drifter in a tag team match, which was the second match from the end.
The next edition of Tuesday Night Warfare comes to you from Osaka, where Cloverleaf will defend the World Championship against his former tag team partner, Shane.``xEpAyZVyVZENcXMxEke``x1096760171``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe A1E Informer``xhttp://www.a1e.ca``xA1E's Tuesday Night Warfare stepped into Asia for the first time in the show's almost four year history with a landmark broadcast from Yokohama, Japan.``x``xdefault.jpg``x``x``xA1E``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
FWA Phenomenon I to premier Sunday night.``xRobbie Styles ``xFWA enters a new era under Robbie Styles, starting this Sunday with Phenomenon I. The last time anyone viewed a FWA event was back in August at Quest for Glory where FWA’s money problems were supposed to end. But even after a record setting PPV, FWA was forced to file for bankruptcy.
The future of the FWA looked bad, but then good things began to happen. After less than a week, Robbie Styles (CEO of Zxstudios) purchased the FWA and named himself President a few days later. The first card for the new weekly show, Sunday Night Phenomenon was announced on the eighteenth and just last week FWA superstars got television time at the WWA PPV, Rise to Fame, on September twenty-sixth. At the PPV, Jay-Dee defended his North American title against World Xtreme Champion, Bluewolf, unsuccessfully.
Phenomenon I will be live at 8pm at the Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Starting off the festivities will be Five versus Trent Black. Five has been rising up the ranks, at a moderate pace, but Trent Black has been on a skid. Second match of the night will be Kash taking on Bloodsik. So far Kash has put out one promo to Bloodsik's zero. If Bloodsik doesn’t step up, then Kash will be taking home a win.
Match number three will be North American and Xtreme Champion, Bluewolf, taking on Jay-Dee and Ken Wild in a unification match. just last week Bluewolf defeated Jay-Dee to capture his North American title in a brutal match the ended in confusion. Ken Wild the 'wildcard' of the match gets a chance to take one or both of Bluewolf's titles.
And finally what everyone has been waiting for, FWA World Heavyweight Champion, The Dealer, taking on number on contender, Kevin Johnson in a one-on-one match up with the title on the line. The Dealer won the Championship on twenty-ninth of August at Quest for Glory, before Kevin Johnson was even in the FWA.
Will The Dealer cruise to victory, or will Kevin Johnson defy the odds and become the new FWA champion? Tune in Sunday night to find out.``xEpAyZuypElEnszQJQK``x1096749618``xoldnews``x``xRobbie Styles``xhttp://fwa.uni.cc``xFWA enters a new era under Robbie Styles, starting this Sunday with Phenomenon I.

The Ivy League: Meet Joe Black``xhexedangel``xLive and let live has served me well through most of my life. If someone doesn't like what I'm doing, that's their right. That's the beauty of this country, the freedom to choose. In that same feeling, I'm not one to comment on things that the other writers throw up on here.
That's such a lie.
But still, I have to ask Joe Black what he meant, when he said that I went with Eli and dodged my responsibility to the rest of the promotion as a check against Disney and Dudley. I have to wonder just how horrible it was that I decided it was no longer worth it to be a martyr for free speech for the fWo, that I'm betraying some imagined sense of duty by going back to basics. I have to wonder what Joe Black - what anyone else would've done, what they would've thought.
Let me remind you that I was never supposed to be in charge, and never wanted to be in charge. Let me remind you that the scope of my job was supposed to be helping Silver Fox plan creative directions for the fWo. Let me remind you, that the first thing I ever did as a 'mother figure' to the fWo was to let the roster know what the memorial arrangements would be for six of our brothers. The second, was to begin one of the most condescending working relationships of my life with Teri F'king Melton's clone.
How willing are you, Joe Black, to continue to fight for a cause that nobody else cares about? Oh, sure, it's a noble sentiment, the Psycho Bitch trying to do the right thing amidst a hostile front office, a sudden loss of her best friend, her lover, her closest family, and her mentor. It's so amusing to see every attempt to make things a little better for the fWo roster is shoved back in her face. No, don't dare try to stand up and help her out - you don't want to risk your job by standing next to someone you claim is doing the right thing, because then it's not someone else putting their ass on the line.
I'm used to it, though. I'm the matriarch of Team Extreme, the Family, the Alliance of Defiance, whatever. The red - headed stepchildren of the professional wrestling world, always counted on to do what nobody else wants. Eli and I were part of the Hardcore Revolution a decade ago and managed to survive its birth, life, and death without losing a step, but there always seemed to be someone doing it not quite as well, making a hell of a lot more money. Eli and I have made a career out of making someone else look like a million bucks, be it Eli in the ring or myself writing a glowing column about them.
Wait, someone did stand by me once, albeit a week too late. And what exactly happened to Craig Miles and the rest of the fWo? He's apparently so horrible and bad for the fWo that his mere presence and plans are sufficient enough to make Brand Frontier and Vic Creed team up. I mean, what the fuck? Creed and Brand? Am I the only one who remembers the last six months of 2003?
Yes, two lines from a second rate writer is enough to send me into this spiral. Ain't it cool?
I'm tired of this same old slop every few months. I'm tired of having to listen to people talk about how they're sick of seeing me all over the arena. Sick of seeing me on television. Overexposure, time is passed me by, whatever whatever. There's a one hundred and three thousand seat arena in sweetwater Texas that only about thirty people in history have sold out, and none of them are saying shit about me and what I do.
Eli referred to the two of us as 'human sacrifices' during one of our late night bull sessions. I wrote it off as him trying to be poetic like his wife, but he's right. No matter how much we give to the wrestling business, no matter how much we give to the fans or to the boys, it's never enough. How do I know this? Columns are censored, creative input is slagged off, and everything I've tried to accomplish from a physical or verbal standpoint is stopped in its tracks. Ivy's ego? Everything I've done in this business in the past decade has made money, most have benefitted multiple people.
Politics, politics, politics. Almost none of the things I've been responsible for have been designed for my benefit. Why would they? I'm not a wrestler, I'm not a politician. My entire purpose as a manager is to get the match currently happening over with the fans. And, pardon my ego, but I'm pretty fucking good at it.
Two lines prompted all this. Two fucking lines from a guy that a bad Brad Pitt movie was named after. There's only so much abuse and venom that I can be expected to swallow with a smile before I vomit up some bile. I think the whole deal is that the wrestling world has never quite forgiven me for staying relevant this long. The wrestling world has never forgiven Eli Flair for kicking the ass out of all these newfangled Disposable Heroes. Kind of like the way all these Emo bands must feel toward Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Deep Purple.
Fuck.
I can't believe y'all have gotten so much venom outta me. All from two goddamn lines. But the patience I've got for people that thrive on taking shots at me and Eli is rapidly coming to an end. It's been years now, since the Psycho Bitch was truly unleashed on the wrestling world.
Anyone else feeling nostalgic?

"I love the WSW, I was part of the roster when the WSW was really in it's prime and now that it's back I can't wait to see it reach the same level of success it had. Don't miss the boat and join this fed quick because you won't find a better place to let your creativity flow."
"This is one class act federation. Professionally put together with awesome results and some top notch RPers, a fun environment to play in. I love the classic simplistic feel of the website and everything runs so smoothly. A "10" in my books and the first fed I would recommend to anyone who's looking for a really great place to start or test their skills."
"I've been through a lot of feds in my time and I must say that the WSW is one of those must join feds with a great roster of guys, great administration who are fair and just. One of the best atmospheres all around in any fed. I can't reccomend this promotion enough and the guys who run it."

The Informer: Wrestleverse-EPW``xThe Informer``xWith the times closing, the promotions comming to an end, all we have to do is sit and wait for our good 'ol wrestlers at EPW to put us up a wonderful show, well, my job as usual is to throw in my unneeded two cents. So as the unoffical writter of EPw, or any fed I plan on doing here is....
THE INFORMERS PICKS OF EPW WRESTLEVERSE!
Nothing better than big print to state it all.
So first we call attention to the two morons who were so narrowminded on themselves taht NEITHER had anything to say, it was one of those silent wars. It truly was one of the best promoting jobs I EVER saw.
-C4 vs Paolo the giant-
So just cause I have seen waht C-4 does to opponents in the ring, and I think Paolo is a quite odd name, I give the match to C-4
So we move on down to a man that has a long nail, with a partner that I don't even want to start ranting on. And their opponents the infamous team the Second Coming!
-Golem & X-Ecutioner vs. Second Coming-
Ok, so I don't like short midgets, and honestly, when ever Second Coming is on I just have this thing for cheering for them. So I pick The Second Coming!
Well, this was quite ammusing to see these two promote against each other
-Pulsar vs. X-
After all X doesn'y always mark the spot now does it? Pulsar dominates X
Now, this is the match I wanted to type all about! This my friends is going to be a great match, and honestly I see everything going into play. Joey Melton, a CSWA superstar with Cameron Cruise vs. Former EPW Heavyweight Champ...and Lindsay Troy.
The first of two triple threats for a title. This one a bit more intense. But hell JA has been on a roll lately steam rolling opponents left and right.
-JA vs. Sebastian Dodd vs. Jonathan Marx-
BUT....Jonathan Marx has been hitting high, and as an ex champ I have total faith that he can pull it all together and come out with that six pounds of gold aroudn his waist.
-Cameron Cruise Project vs. Sands and Troy-
Sorry Cameron Cruise project, but when you got a dominating force liek Christian Sands in the ring well, that about says it all. Troy and Sands take it all the way for the win.
So, we move on to a match that was one week in the making, the promotional jobs that went back and forth were top of the line, honestly I haven't seen a lot of work like that since Beast and Sands faced off for the championship.
-Brown vs Doe-
Well, I have to handed it over to the Protégé of Troy Douglas, after he picked up the win on Adam Benjamin, well that about explains it all!
I am just going to hope to this one because I have to go nappy poo in a bit. So hat's off to these men, cause honestly, Cross...hold on to your butt. If I was Troy and got screwed froma title shot, well the next man in teh ring would just be my squshy anger ball, and Cross may God help you.
-Troy Douglas vs. Cross-
Troy Douglas picks the win, lots of anger, lots of aggression, and if I was in his shoes, well, I would be on a rampage.
OH HERE IT GOES!!!!! The match we have all been waiting for me to preach on, the match with El title on the line. So ready for my ensight....
-Beast vs Boogie Smallz vs. Adam Benjamin-
Benjamin takes the win! One, cause I think Beast has been slowing down his dominating pace. Boogie Smallz, well he has not been going above and beyond, finally adam Benjamin. First he goes into a Falls Count Anywhere match BEFORE Wrestleverse got beat by Doe, but all in all he is coming out the new champ.

the friggin fWo report``xpants``xLies Joe Black Told You
It’s time for some fWo reporting I guess.
We’ll be looking at Unleashed here in a moment.
I said I am the one, but the kid is not my son.
Right off the bat, the programming directors at fWo have hit upon a fundamental truth in the business.
No one remembers shit from one moment to the next.
The basic spill from this brilliant concept is that in order to present us with Temerio/Nameless’s story, they flashed back to the previous information. Smart smart move. It comes to a head on this show as Temerio dodges public humiliation by getting a paternity test on the down low, and revealing that he’s not the father of Yukio’s baby.
SCORE ONE FOR THE DEADBEATS~! RUAHH~!
Tired of helping everybody, from now on I’m just supporting my friends… friend.
Ivy has returned to fWo as Flair’s manager. Effectively dodging the overall responsibility of being a check against Disney suits and Jim Dudley and decided to exclusively take care of the people she cares about which would be Eli and no one else.
Hmmmph.
Who’s the man?
The Wrestler of the Year Tournament proceeds as follows.
Ric Chronos goes over Nameless and Wippit Guud. The Flying Frenchie (my close personal friend (lie)) advances over Lance Knight and some other guy who isn’t Lance Knight. Chelsea Vice and Alias are put away by Vince Jacobs Deacon advances over Miles and Dynamo.
Weird, I’d have chosen Miles to take it all. Shows what I know.
The easiest way to stop a revolutionary movement is to give into their demands on the surface, and undermine their success as soon as the wind’s no longer in their sails.
Milo Samus campaign and protests have had the rug cut out from underneath Milo by Disney and Dudley giving him what he thinks he wants. Poor Milo. Poor Dunce. He never knew what hit him.
I have a feeling the tag division might be returning… according the magic 8 ball anyway.
The Legion of Dairy returns to the fWo roster with a victory over Fatal Attraction and Kodane Otaku pull off a similar deal. I could be wrong but this might potentially mean an attempt to return the tag division to something that it was before it sucked ass.
If it does start, I’ll devote some time to looking at the division.
Titles Shmitles, where the hell is Eternity AT?
Lindsay Troy, whose HC title had been kidnapped by Sphere/Balaam, was reunited with her lost love through a successful defense.
High Flyer retains the I-net strap against Flair.
This could be the beginning of the ugliest friendship I’ve ever seen. One of you stab the other please.
Brand Frontier and Vic Creed tag against… heh. Look at that. Those two. Anyway, they take on Gianni, who’s been a lot of fun to watch the crazy kook, and Brandish who gives me nightmares. The winner is who’d expect.
“The Bitch Stays In The Match,” says BQ, while smacking undercard workers around demanding to be called “stinky”
Rana and Death face BQ and Aimz, the girly wins by cheating.
I’ll have a rant about Venenosa in a few weeks or so, as it’s something I feel qualified to bitch about since my school was responsible for training the kid. But since that’s close to home and throws any of my objectivity out the window (I do have a little bit of it, which is why it’s so precious (lie)), I’ll save it for a filler edition of this crap.
This edition of lies has been rather light in the lying (true) and heavy with the smartassery, but that would also make me a liar about it being all lies so nyeah nyeah nyeah. Bleepity bleepity boo boo, whatcha gonna do when the crabbiest old fart in the business makes smartass remarks ON YOU!?

The Huge Report``xdillon``xThe Huge Report First Times For All 9/23/04
I love professional wrestling. I can't rationalize my love for the business, but I'm there. I'm hooked for life. Been that way since I was watching WM III and was watching Hogan body slam Andre and Steamboat upsetting Savage in perhaps the single most idolized (and, IMO, overrated) match since the days of Prodigy servers. Hell, back then, IWC was just a baby thorn in Vince's ass. I was about five back then and I don't know what it was that just took my attention.
Might have been the marketing ploy, because at that age you really can't rationalize the gripping stories of feuds and that sort of stuff.
But I'm not still hear because of the cartoonish "Sportz Entertainment". No, I was one of the first kid on my block back in North Carolina to turn away from the hype machine that was the WWF and turn my attention towards the NWA. Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Arn Anderson, Ron Garvin, the Midnight Express, and Tully Blanchard were the kinds of guys I really liked. They were different. Flair wasn't the larger than life steroid boy that Hogan was, but Flair had a better ability to keep me on the edge of my seat. You see, NWA didn't need to be cartoony to get me to watch.
I started going to the Greensboro Coliseum every other week watching wrestling shows, even if it wasn't Crockett's NWA promotion. And then, sometime between 1988 and 1992, I started getting into this new promotion. NWA had become WCW, and WCW sucked. It was like WWF Lite, with even less believable stunts and such pulled off to asses in seats. And people wonder why they closed down. The only time I remember WCW being any color but red was the time NWO was around, before Austin Attitude took over. It's called bad management.
But, as I was writing, this other place grabbed my attention. And you kids know it today as CSWA. For the span of a while, I got more into the technical aspects of wrestling before I really took a liking to Bret Hart. This would be when I started rooting for the guys like Mike Randalls, Hornet, Mark Windham, Joey Melton. And I still like some CSWA guys after. Mickey Benedict could be thrown in there even with a little early Eli Flair. But meh, whatever. That's me mixing up time periods and me not giving a crap. It was about the in ring action, even more than the spectacle. You kids would call it Old School. I call it "the way it outta be".
After then, my love affair for wrestling found other avenues until now. I've got a rather large tape collection. I dug up as much footage of "Golden" Glen Miller as I could. And even after that, we are talking about some earlier CWL stuff, even the stuff in the early 90's when the underground hardcore movement started. Damn Douglas and Funk. Stuff was somewhat addicting. It was a lot better than what those mutants in Philly were doing, let me tell you that. Until Malenko, Guerrero, and Benoit saved the day...I tell ya.
I've got plenty of FWO, though I highlighted most of the stuff involving the guy they've ever had, Ruben Ross. And Chronos is pretty bitchin' too. But, most of the stuff in FWO, WWF, WCW, CSWA, and even IWO left me a bit disenchanted. I watched some people, and went with what the Torch and other smarks said. But I was waiting for something to capture my attention beyond one guy.
My love affair for Action rekindled my love for wrestling. I love watching Joey Malone, and some of the earlier stuff with LLB wasn't that bad. Fission was on his last legs, as his knees were obviously catching up to him, but he somewhat reinvented himself before his unexpected death. Wow, almost been a year. Anyway, they were great and all, but there was a great undercard there, high lighted by the likes of Jeff Garvin, Coral Avalon, Max Danger, even Airborn Tyler. But when KSZ came into town, BAM, everything changed. Workrate went through the roof, and Action started really pushing wrestling out into the forefront. And those guys rose up the cards, with KSZ, with Frank Heimdal, with Daniel Phillips. It was like the old school ways of wrestling we coming back. Then, BAM! It died.
That's my wrestling love affair.
But I cover wrestling events, and now, I get paid a little to do it. HOORAY! I'm going be covering the Squared Circle and Orlando Championship Wrestling (aka, OCW) for this here site.
Now, the Squared Circle is somewhat like Action, but not. See, while politics killed Action, while a lot of the guys fired by Action went to tSC, it's a totally different ball game. New ownership, some new staff members were brought in, and some really raw talent was also brought in, like Sonny Silver and David Morey. The Squared Circle is completely about wrestling, with it's style impacted by what you do in the ring. Rules such as the two referees, three rope breaks, and other such things were put in place to remove elements of Sports Entertainment. Now, on the heels of a rather nice profit margin, this young promotion seems to be rising steadly. It's doing it with some unknowns. Sonny Silver has a reputation of being a cancer, but he's been one of the elite heels in wrestling since the inception of tSC. Alias, while being known, really made a huge impact in tSC. And the list goes on and on.
You can catch tSC every Tuesday night, on FX. I think it's on at 8. Then again, I just TiVo it anyway.
Then, there is the OCW. While I don't know much about OCW, I do know it's basically a renegade organization from the remnants of the FWO and its Survivor 4 contest. Most of the organization is raw, but has some talent. Guys like Kellen Kinkade and Rush come from FWO. And while I think it's all just a work anyway, the group is pretty tight lipped about it's role as it pretains to FWO and all else. Hey, don't want us dirt sheeters ripping it apart like we've been doing to FWO for a good while.
My only problem with OCW is that it's an organization that is trying to do it old school, but doesn't seem to have the talent to do it. But, I guess with guys this raw, they can mold them into something.
I'll be covering the organizations shows, and then do a weekly round up of my HUGE OPINIONS and the future of the organizations, even their pasts. At least, that's the plan. Don't ride me if I don't get something out on time. I'm still finishing up degree at NC State along with working forty hours a week.
Anyway, that's it. Just keep watching. Because, hey, I'm the only guy who can tell it like it is.
This is Robert Gibson.

Dear Craig,
Ah, dude, I did mushrooms on saturday night, i swear, it felt like my cock would melt in my hands when I'd touch it.
-Deft
This is why I don’t return your messages.
Dear Craig,
When using the character Capt. Britanica, did you obtain the creative rights to this personality? Where did you come up with this BRILLIANT! idea?
Is Big Bobby Bowman gay?
Why does Rana Venensoa;sdifos's look so retarded when he smokes?
How come you always smile or put a cigarette in your mouth when talking to somebody? Is it a nervous tick?
Sincerely,
Bantam Dia -- er, Gloomy Tuesday
Well, Mister Diaper…
The story of Captain Britannica actually stretches back to a time when men were men, women were women and you could get a double cheeseburger for a dollar. 2003 wasn’t special, but on one of my escapades around the world – I actually got blitzed this one time in London and got lost at night.
Walking in a back alley, I spotted some of Scotland Yard’s finest having an issue with some insane homeless bum. The wild red hair, the beard, the screaming and ranting about how David Beckham came from the sperm of the Devil and his child with the hot Spice Girl was proof the apocalypse was 16 years away.
Naturally, the police didn’t know what to do. I told him I’d take care of the guy. Now he’s making millions, which is genius…but I’ll be damned if he hasn’t started some underground organization plotting to kill Anthony Hopkins.
As for Bobby, I actually asked. Scotty told me HELL NO! Venensoa;sdifos's might know the truth, he’s a rookie smoker. Give him time.
And concerning the last two questions…
Just asking those means you should be considering a course at the Craig Miles Professional Heel Academy.
Dear Craig,
We all know about the brand-spankin’ new, state-of-the art Academy campus in Oakland, California but for the uninformed – maybe you should let them know where all FIVE locations are.
-Brother in Arms, KSZ
Ah yes, I love convenience. Well, Keith it looks like you’re helping out the bedwetter. Each campus of the Heel Academy really has its own special niche.
Key West, Florida – the original. Not used as much since Disney went on tour. And well, Chronos doesn’t exactly lend out credit cards to me either, anymore.
Oakland, California – the high-tech, state-of-the art advanced campus where you can become a web designer, rant columnist, or be taught by Keith over here on how not to suck like Max Danger. That’s in the bedroom and out folks. We’re also building an arena complex in the projects.
Seattle, Washington – D&D Campus. Depressing and Dark. Dean Death is doing a great fall lecture series on “How to Light Someone on Fire” Very informative…and yes, we are making fun of the fact that most of these students like Dungeons and Dragons.
Huntsville, Alabama – Our tag team training facilty, where you don’t get out alive until you break Bobby Eaton’s record for wife beatings and whiskey shots. Currently, Calvin Carlton oversees the financials, while Frankie Fargo instructs a “how to spot jailbait’ freshman course that I recommend for every student.
The Jungle – You’re gonna die! Well, only 3 students so far. Only two people know the location. Myself and the lone instructor, the Dean of our Wrestling program - Mike Randalls. All seniors must last 5 days in this place to graduate. We figure if you can last in his house of torture, you’re probably better than myself.
Hey Mr. C,
You might not remember me but I was the bellhop at Hilton in Frisco, where I think you stayed at a few days/almost a week before Ruaah, the dude you tipped fifty bucks after I got you four monkeys, a shit load a smokes and those two really ugly women. Thanks for the fifty man, but what where you up to that night, anywho? I mean it's gotta be a funny story... cause it looked like Mitch Wilson (Such a Mitch Mark. WOOO!) was teaching you the Headliner. I could have sworn I saw a few flasks of whiskey lying around. There where like a dozen hookers, Nick Brandish, Matthew Wakeman there too. Plus what a couple broken balloons, those monkeys and smokes I gotcha, a bitchin' smell of weed in the air, a Yugo, a donkey, those two ugly women and Scotty Bowman... if my memory serves me right. Then again, it was all a blur being in your presence man.
Anyway, and I don't want to be all poking around... but what did happen in that hotel room, anyway?
Later days man, Rusty Knuckles aka Rick the bellhop
Ummm…Rusty, your boss called.
He wants you to stay off the drugs.
Ok, first of all – there’s an end to this that may make you take the man’s advice..
We had four flasks of whiskey for off the night. We made Mitch drink two since he didn’t really teach the Headliner as much as let all of us take turns doing the move ourselves off the bed onto a full length mirror that as the night went on…turned into a puddle of blood and glass. The 11 hookers were mainly for Nick and Scotty to keep their energy going. Things got interesting when Scotty got offered head, but just pissed in their mouths instead. Nick is the first man I’ve ever seen puncture a cervix and abdomen at the same time from trying to attain drainage.
Matthew Wakeman bought the balloons at the convenience store…cause well, that’s Matthew.
The 4 monkeys were actually part of the hooker package, I finished the other two flasks with them as well as 232 cigarettes and an 1/8 of weed. I didn’t actually have money for the weed, so Nick beat up some crazy Mexican, ripping him out of his Yugo, us not knowing it possessed a donkey and 2 tranvestites en route to the gay district.
We also met some weird bellhop with an afro that kept wanting to try this acid Nick got back home. 4 hours later and all of a sudden, the donkey and transvestites were gone…
…and so was little Ricky the bellhop.``xEpAVlkkZEEQgGgyyyj``x1095826311``xwire``x56481091824871``xCraig Miles``x``x``x``x``xmileswire.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The Year's Biggest Main Frame This Friday``xKMAJackson``xAfter what was the most hellacious Pay Per View Event of 2004 thus far, the EUWC has gone even farther to blow the roof off of General Motor's Place in Vancouver, British Columbia for Main Frame. What is being dubbed as the Celebration of Champions will witness each and every EUWC Championship on the line...
No match is bigger than the Main Event for the EUWC World Heavyweight Championship. The new Champion Holocaust will make his very first title defense since regaining his title at Ultra Brawl VI. However, "The Definitive" Danny Collins has his sights set on winning the one title that has eluded him for so long. And these two have more history than one would think.
At EUWC eXile on May 25 2004, Holocaust was able to turn away the challenge of Danny Collins in a triple threat match! However Holocaust needed the help of STEALTH in order to retain his title. However just one month later, Collins received his rematch with Holocaust on an edition of Main Frame. On this night, Collins was screwed once again as Sean Taylor acted as the special referee and turned on Collins to join the Dominion. This allowed Holocaust to once again retain his World Heavyweight Championship.
Now as this week's Main Frame gets closer, the story is very different. Holocaust no longer has the Dominion to back him up. Meanwhile Danny Collins has just scored the biggest win of his career at Ultra Brawl, when he forced STEALTH to resign after winning their Hell in a Cell Match. This Friday's match will not be for the weak of heart as these two men will battle to settle the score once and for all; and with the EUWC's biggest prize at stake.
Also on this Friday's show, the Undisputed Greatest EUWC International Champion of All Time, Sean Taylor will put his lwinning streak and title up for grabs when he battles his old nemesis Damian Stone. These two men have a lot of history that dates back to the Summer of 2003 and will explode this Friday night.
Last May at EUWC eXile 2003, Sean Taylor was supposed to challenge for the EUWC International Title against then-Champion Nick Marshall. However due to injury, Nick Marshall was forced to forfeit the title and a tournament took place. At Onslaught Damian Stone defeated Cole Justice in the finals of the tournament to be crowned the new International Champion. Later in the evening, Sean Taylor received his title shot. The first meeting between Taylor and Damian Stone went in Stone's favor as he pinned Taylor with the Judge, Jury, Execution.
However, after the match was over, Sean Taylor tried to attack Stone, but inadvertantly knocked out Stone's wife and manager Echo. This prompted Stone to challenge Taylor to what would turn out to be the most horrific match of last year. At Summer Sizzler 2003, Stone and Taylor battled in the very first House of Horrors Match! The winner of the match would become the new International Champion. After a long and bloody battle, Sean Taylor miraculously emerged with the victory and the Championship.
Over one year later, these two will cross paths once again inside the Main Frame ring. DDS has vowed to end Taylor's reign as Champion. While Sean Taylor seems so focussed on a victory that he has vowed to leave his rulebook with EUWC Official Kandi Reed until the match is finished. These two men will have their rubber match for the International Title this Friday, and neither man will be the same after it is over.
All this and much more action will take place this Friday on Main Frame...``xEpAVlElFEVGgFXcvVI``x1095821915``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xKeith Jackson``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/euwc``xAfter what was the most hellacious Pay Per View Event of 2004 thus far, the EUWC has gone even farther to blow the roof off of General Motor's Place in Vancouver, British Columbia for Main Frame.

New Talent Rumours``xZezu``xWith the recent closure of LoC, and the demise of most of ACWs roster, it is widely rumoured that many new faces will be appearing on the newest edition of Courage due out the end of the this week.
Rumoured names that are due to appear range from tag teams such as The Normans, singles stars such as Broken, Token Weed and former LoC Champion Donnie Daze, along with rumours that both Kasper Sky and Seymour Almasy will be in attendance.
Add that to the fact that Pandora will be making an appearance, along with the brand new ACW Champion Vince Jacobs...it's going to be quite an interesting show. ``xEpAVZlZpuyWShtCRHt``x1095790646``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xThe Z Man``xhttp://www.theacw.net``xACW is rumoured to be full of roster changes this week, but just who is going to be part of the new ACW?``x``xacwnews.jpg``x``x``xACW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The Friggin RPW Report``xpants``xThe Friggin RPW report.
Jebus Scheebus. You look away for thirty seconds and a promotion vanishes.
Xavier Kannon isn’t returning my phone calls. Well, that’s a lie, my phone call to a number that might’ve been his. In 1994.
Anyway. Rush Pro Wrestling has closed. The details remain elusive. I’m not really sure what happened, and the only thing that I’ve gathered from the RPW superstars are grumblings and resumes.
It’s disappointing to me for a number of reasons. I felt a nice compare contrast with the fWo would work nicely. As I got more familiar with the shows and what was happening all over the place, I’d be able to make comparisons and on different company philosophies, who would get pushed where and why, that sort of good stuff.
Which has led me to a significant conclusion.
The evil powers behind the fWo must have heard of my column plans over here and made a decision. To close RPW at whatever the cost. With OCW now threatening fWo with prejudice and spite, the Disney goons decided to make an example of someone.
So they bought off that lousy dork Xavier Kannon. Oh, excuse me, “Christian Alexander Poopoohead” Kannon. Set him a nice check, and that was that. The bottom had been ripped out from under their superstars.
Though maybe it wasn’t my column. Maybe it was Aimz. She went to work on the side for RPW apart from her fWo obligations, and perhaps they couldn’t or didn’t want to discipline her. So they closed RPW. Superstars lining the highways in West Virginia with signs that say, “Will Wrestle For Food” with Food striked out and replaced by “Sex”.
It’s miserable. How many dreams have been destroyed? How many people have been buried, all because of a greedy corporation?
Why the hell couldn’t they have tried to bribe me?
I’m an evil person. I’m a notorious liar. I probably wouldn’t have haggled too much either. I could’ve been bought, but no. They went for the shut down, ruining so many talented people’s shot at a decent career.
Were they a real wrestling company, the fWo would have followed up by at least hiring the homeless wrestlers. And of course they’d job them to death until they all quit and/or were fired. Now someone else will do it. But still. Boooooo.
Boooooo!
Boooooo! I say.
Shame on you Disney fiends behind fWo. You’ve ruined everything. Again.
This is Joe Black.
You’ve been reading a bunch of lies. ``xEpAVylFVllWWlZLjxu``x1095687188``xwire``x56481091824871``xJoe Black``xhttp://www.rushpro.net/``x``x``x``xmondaywire.gif``x``xRPW``xand some finger pointing too``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Golden Dreams Recap and Some Iron Duke News``xtholzerman``xA1E's Golden Dreams almost tore down Lambeau Field. Here's the results recap:
-Captain Suleimon b. Prisoner 187 -BC Steele b. El Pantera and Micheal James -Chip Friendly b. Kid Canada and Freakshow -Mr. Incredible b. Damon Blackburn (c) to win the A1E Survivor Championship -Richard Farnswirth and Slambo the Clown b. Drifter and Gladiator -Roderick McRatrick (c) b. Promo to retain A1E Triple Star Championship -Big Dog b. Lindsay Troy -The Weston Outlaws b. Beast and Kanna Kirishima (c) to win the A1E Tag Team Championships -Beast b.

Steven Shane (1st elimination), Torment (c, 2nd elimination), and James Irish (final elimination) to win the A1E World Heavyweight Championship
Also, some notes: -X-Rated made his first A1E appearance with a rap on top of the Golden Dreams stage -Former A1E Champion Cross made his return, attacking Eddie Weston while he was making an apology for attacking a fan. Cross went on to make the ultimatum that he wants a shot at the World Champion or else his reign of terror will continue. -Housefly was apparently booted out of the Empire by Gladiator, who assumed control, and Drifter for losing his match against Beast. -The Highland Park Social Club ruled the day, winning all three of their matches.
Finally, in some less upbeat news, Iron Duke has not renewed his contract with A1E and Golden Dreams was his last event. There will be a new color commentator debuting at the next Tuesday Night Warfare in Yokohama, Japan, but that announcement has been under tight wraps and will be announced at the show.``xEpAVuklEpEEYYAfuGD``x1095431701``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xTom Holzerman``xhttp://www.a1wrestling.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=10&topic_id=5888&mesg_id=5888&page=``xLatest news from the world of A1E!``x``xdefault.jpg``x``x``xA1E``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
The TNW #25 Quick Hit``xNFW``xMatch results:
Chiaki Kuriyama over S.D. Chambers (laws of physics): So you mean to say Deft's never going to get to hold the Mexican Championship? That ain't right...
Santos Salvatore over Psychosis (pinfall, wtf): Did that loser just use the Bossman slam into a back suplex elbow driver for the win? Jeez, next you'll tell me Sonny's...oh, right.
the Premier of France over Russa (pinfall, Loire/Guillotine): And thus all is right in the universe. You know, every time the announcers use Loire Valley Driver I make $3.43 thanks to Pierre? True story. Lean back.
Son of Daniel's Bitch over How Coldplay Got Famous (submission, triangle choke): Face v. face? You KNOW how I feel about thse things! Did that masked little bastard steal my Perfectplex? I am so going to destroy him for that.
{non-title} the Joy of Silence over the Upper Midcard Express (submission, cross-armbreaker): Wow, you losers just got your asses all the way kicked, didn't you? Shame.
1986 Called, It Wants Its Monster Back over Oh, Suck This (pinfall, Tommyhawk): Ir's great we did this match in Philadelphia because I'm sure everyone else gave a rat's ass about this. The ending sequence was nice, but other than that...
{non-title} the Pride of Memphis over Your Humble Scribe (pinfall, super Original Slam): So, there you go: everyone on the roster has now hit me during the course of 10 days.
[MY TITLE] X-Pac '04 over the Hamburglar (submission, dragon sleeper STF): That's it, I'm outta here.
Angle developments:
I Always Used To Think Nothing Mattered, Now I Know For Sure: I hope the irony of Sonny deriding Chiaki for winning a rumble to contendership wasn't lost on anyone, as he beat two rookies (cheating to do so in one instance) and fucking Rook. But, you know, having the most pinfall victories in the federation is a ludicrous way to judge who should be #1 contender. LUDICROUS.
He's Hardcore! No, HE'S Hardc...ah, who cares...: Osyrus vs. Razor Blade. And the fast-forward button was complaining I wasn't giving it enough sweet loving lately.
Philly Cream Cheese: Who taught you idiots how to do a promo, Sonny? And you two barely survived Team Ruben Ross. You can flash tin all you want, but the nickname stays.
New Orleans Jazz: You know, only an idiot like Morey would think an idiot like Coral would just roll over. He's Steamboat without the genius baggage, that one.
Got Some Dirt Off My Shoulder, Would You Brush It Off For Me?: And now, you are forgiven for showing up to the rematch. Heh. In-jokes RULE.
Red Alert: There's some has-been spot fest on Line 1, Michelle. Billy somebody?

NFW North Wire: Playoffs Begin``xNFW``xWith Michael Manson winning the sole playoff bid for the NFW East, therefore becoming the #6 seeded wrestler in the NFW North Roster due to Christian Sands' departure, Quentin Sullivan announced the official Wild Card Round matches.
Kin Hiroshi captured the 3 seed and will take on Manson, while 4th seed Cameron Cruise will face off against mortal enemy, Steel Viper who got the fifth seed.
So far, the common thread in both playoff matches are whether injuries will affect the outcome. Kin Hiroshi has been diagnosed with a sprained knee suffered at the hands of Jonathan Marx.
Meanwhile, reports are vague, but it doesn't look like Cameron Cruise survived his own shipwreck of a Random Rumble. Possibly putting on the guttiest performance of the night, but with a trail of blood left on the mat plus several punishing moves (including an Elevator Drop off the cage) - one can only wonder if Cruise's body will be ready to go at 100% against Steel Viper.
And let's not kid ourselves, Manson and Viper are known for spotting a weakness and exploiting it. Certainly considering the battles Viper and Cruise have fought during the regular season, the man of Steel must be licking his chops right now.
Kazuo Shizaki and Jonathan Marx have to be smiling to themselves, as Manson, Cruise and Hiroshi all have had a gutting week and won't be nearly as rested or healed.``xEpAVkZuFZyBnddGbTq``x1095277976``xwire``x56481091824871``xFiona Love``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``x``x``x``xwednesdaywire.gif``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

From The Informer``xThe Informer``xEPW Aggression 12 came with a load of great matches, thus we are all in a bit of wondering why Dan Ryan has denied Troy Douglas his chance at the gold.
Douglas, who has fought hard since Empire opened it's doors was denied his shoot at the title. The question is could he defeat Beast even if he was given the shot.
Now, my idea on the whole situation is that, Douglas would be able to beat Beast. There are many reasons for this.
First, look at his performance in the ring. Troy's ring presance is always on A-game. But we know Douglas is good due to his training style.
Troy took John Doe under his wing to learn the "Way's of the Path". Now, let us seriously put this in perspective. Doe is not a...how can we put it...grand wrestler. He doesn't think in the ring.
Now, we all heard of Yours Truly Adam Benjamin, came within inches....seconds...of of beating EPW World Champ Beast.
Douglas trains Doe, and Doe defeats Benjamin in a falls count anywhere match? Dear God almighty Troy Douglas must be doing something right!
So, if we think hard about it, Douglas in the near future WILL be the EPW Champ, Time and Date undecided, all I can say is, watch out Beast that name plate will be changing soon. ``xEpAVpAAFEAyoblipvW``x1095102919``xoldnews``x``xThe Informer``x``xEPW Aggression 12 came with a load of great matches, thus we are all in a bit of wondering why Dan Ryan has denied Troy Douglas his chance at the gold.

Livin' La Vida LoC'a with the Man of War``xShawnHartXXX``xIn this business, the word “champion” gets tossed around like Joey Melton’s baby mama. At every corner of the globe, some third-rate promotion or another has their greasy, sniveling horse-thief of a promoter shilling their top dog as the future of the industry.
In the case of “Black” Tom Williams and the Legacy of Champions, they just may be right.
Alexander Jerusalem is no greenback in the wrestling business. He burst onto the national scene in 2001 with promotions like the WWL and the CWWF, going so far as to capture the Thompson clan’s tag team titles twice. Still only 29 years old, the “Man of War” has since been focusing solely on his singles career, snarling and spitting and carving his way straight to LoC’s highest honor, the Legacy Championship. Now, this may be a biased opinion, seeing as how AJ and I have gone to the same synagogue since before the Phenom felt his first booty, but his dimensions are undeniable. 7 feet tall. 368 lbs. Long, HARD, throbbing.... left hook.
Armed with his cannon arms and a cuss mouth, Alexander’s road to glory in LoC had but one speed bump. One man who could potentially derail the Man of War locomotive. The Legacy’s last defense against Jerusalem in his pursuit of ass-kicking supremacy was the man formerly known as Rage, five-time RMWF champion Scott Riktor. Riktor was the people’s choice, the choice of Black Tom’s other half, Mr. Franklin Pierce, and by far the toughest, most enduring superstar on the Legacy’s roster.
Or so we thought.
Not only did AJ take Mr. 5-time down, but he punked his woman and dropped like 137 F-Bombs along the way. Then, quite miraculously, he worked up more of a sweat in a post-match party at the LANDING STRIP with our girl Trixie than he had earlier that night in the actual title bout! I dare not mention where he put the championship belt during our private show. Funny thing that female anatomy, but I digress. The bottom line of this whole sordid tale is that Alexander Jerusalem is in a class all his own, and you can catch him each week on VIOLENCE, the Legacy’s flagship program.
Check it out, and maybe you’ll see what a TRUE champion actually looks like.
Next week, we pull ourselves from the muck of introductory pieces and get down to the nitty gritty. Be prepared for plenty of jiggy, some incoherent ramblings, and nude locker room photos of Dan Ryan. I am the Phenom... and you are not.

NFW North Finishes Regular Season!``xNFW``xIn a wild and certainly crazy night, NFW's North Conference finished off its regular season with a number of surprises as well as a significant departure with Christian Sands announcing his resignation from the federation only minutes before the Random Rumble match took place.
Not to be outdone, Avery Prosser - the hated conference commissioner used the already opened forum by Sands to not only respond to some accusations from the departing Canadian, but also inform the infamous Tsongas crowd that this would be their last NFW televised event under the North Conference banner.
Fans nearly revolted, but a heartfelt speech from one of Boston's own as well as a 40 minute epic Random Rumble drove back the outrage, everything culminating with Kazuo Shizaki outlasting Cameron Cruise - with a little unexpected and somewhat unidentified help late in the match against the Seven Deadly Sins lumberjacks.
Shizaki managed to secure 30 points in the evening, but Jonathan Marx's elimination of Kin Hiroshi ended up being enough for the 'Gentleman' to clinch the North Conference Regular Season Championship.
With Sands' departure, New Frontier has decided to waive the play-in match of the NFW East conference - instead announcing right away in a press release that the winner of the East Conference Random Rumble will receive the #6 position in the North Playoffs.
Here are the current playoff contenders in the North:
This means that the heated feud between Cameron Cruise and Steel Viper will take on a whole new context, while Kin Hiroshi must recover from a knee injury tonight to possibly ward off NFW World Champion, Michael Manson if he makes it passed his NFW East rivals.``xEpAulAkyZZUWUXGUQM``x1094896277``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xKerry O'Connor``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xIn a wild and certainly crazy night, NFW's North Conference finished off its regular season with a number of surprises as well as a significant departure...``x``xrandomrumble04.gif``x``x``xNFW``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

The fWo RPW report``xpants``xZoobity doo wab bah doo, it’s JOE BLACK here with lots of wonderful LIES to tell making you all feel really good about yourselves! Hoooooray~!
First up, we’re going to see what’s happening in that fine fine institution of RPW.
The latest developments that I can access are RPW’s Adrenaline 36.
I like the numbering of events for an easy idea of sequence. Not like the fWo.
“Hey, did you see that one Ruahh~!?”
“Which one?”
“The one where the guy in the mask and the other guy without a mask fought?”
Dates are too complicated for the average wrestling fan to understand. But the numbers make it pretty easy to keep track of.
The 36th Adrenaline show featured Magnum Wolf declaring stipulations that leaned towards his friends, and against his enemies. It’s a perfect example of your government at work. Just imagine yourself and anybody that doesn’t buy off the president with campaign contributions to be the enemy. Tah-dah. Political satire, and I’m sexier than both Maureen Dowd and Ann Coultier, but not sexier than the both of them having sex with each other. Though perhaps they would require muzzles. Anyway, it’s the gist of the Wolf invitational. It’s not necessarily RPW sanctioned, but it’s Wolf making a mini tournament, awarding the winner with a shot for the title or something.
In other events, Clyde, who was/is a demon from hell is now aping Spider-Man with calling himself Clyder-Man. I meant, I guess one thing aint more ridiculous than the other really. But still.
The Eclipse title, not named after fabled scientologist and fWo behemoth Total Eclipse, is the RPW secondary title held by Gideon Poe. Aimz of fWo is apparently in RPW now, which came as some surprise to me. I guess I should pay better attention and drink less. Anyway, Aimz and …
Hold on here. This one is difficult.
Vengellus Oxius.
WTF?
That name is just too hard.
Anyway, difficult name battled both Aimz and Poe and managed to come out ahead and won the eclipse title. So booyaka for him.
Angelo Deville apparently presents some kind of threat to Magz with regard to Magnum’s master plan. No details are revealed, but you could perhaps guess that Angelo is playing wild card in Magnum’s deck.
Lord Skywolf won the RPW mid-south title from Dawn McFarlane.
Invincible Gabe apparently stole Ken War’s gimmick.
And some other nonsense goes on that I can’t understand, like Skywolf, and Steven Silver and the like.
There’s some good wrestling following that but the real storyline point of the night is that Angelo Deville has actually been the Dread Pirate Roberts all along. His on the RPW payroll and contracted, which gives him a big ole “neener neener” in Kannon’s face.
And that monkeys, is the end of that. The man for the night has to be Angelo Deville who in spite of not having a match puts one over on Kannon. The runner up would be Oxius as he captured the Eclipse title.
Next we take a look at Ruahh~! of the unnumbered wrestling company.
It opens with some nonsense and Brand Frontier popping on the scene to hassle Craig Miles. Brand Frontier is apparently driven by lunacy as he’s confident in himself and his vision to the point of negating anything that defies it.
You Christians freak me out like that.
Black Quicksilver the current champ, and Death, the current … guy named Death have a bit of a spat in front of the commish. Jim Dudley, said commish, is a certifiable ass, and that means a lot coming from me.
Eli Flair has a title shot against High Flyer, but can lose it against any opponent who whups him apparently.
In a bit of a shocking upset, Brand loses to newcomer Gianni. Heh. Lunatics don’t wrestle well when their ideals are trampled on.
And in the only title defense on the card, the New and Improved Pretty Fly apparently retain their titles in spite of their own desires to lose them.
In storyline mode, KVC’s son Alex is hassled at the hospital by Dr. John Gianni.
The man for the night definitely is Dr. Gianni having pinned Frontier. No runner up, he holds the stage solo.
Reviewing.
RPW is in a nebulous state as we’re still trying to figure out precisely what Magnum Wolf’s reign means for the fed as a whole. He’s devoid of contenders which explains the invitational thing to keep interest. One of his strongest rivals is probably El Spiffy so in the coming weeks we’ll keep an eye on that guy.
fWo is also in a weird state, with the post meltdown lines being drawn between the Soldiers of the Fifth Seal and the opposition. Something hopefully soon will come of this, as I want to see more Rana Venenosa as his meltdown victory has made him the single most money generating individual in the Black and Black school’s history.
Lies:
Magnum Wolf is exactly what you think he is.
Lord Skywolf’s ability is precisely what you see.
Aimz is a whore.
Craig Miles is all talk.
Black Quicksilver is to blame for waning interest.
The snowboarder has no future.
Jim Dudley is not a bitter son of a bitch.
Alias is not sleepy.
Clyde isn’t helping his own future by engaging in this particular “gimmick”.
Xavier Kannon is a beaten and broken man.
Simon Cowl isn’t that bad of a guy once you get to know him.
You like reading my columns.
Enough~!
I’m done with this for now.

Should Jean Rabesque Fear DREDD?``xThe Informer``xWell, with a cool promotion, and a threat to "Destroy the enemy", Should Jean Rabesque fear the stable DREDD (Directors of Radical Evil Doers Destruction). DREDD consits of two members [so far], John Doe and FWI Rookie of the Year Jonathan Marx. the two seem to embark on elminating the New Era World Heavyweight Champion Jean Rabesque. Jean, who won the title in a brutal ladder match against Larry Tact in New Era's first Pay Per View Destrucity had nothing to say about the warnings. Since the promotion hit New Era waves the talk has been going around, Should Jean fear DREDD?
Informer's Opinion on John Doe:
Jean Rabesque defeated John Doe, twice, both for the New Era TV Title, honestly John Doe is a hit or miss athlete, one day he is over the top and is perfect on every move he makes. The we have the egotistcal "I am Greatness...I Am God" John Doe, who seems to be sloppy and not think before each move.
Informer's Opinion on Jonathan Marx:
Although Jean Rabesuq never faced off with Jonathan Marx, it does raise a bit of a fear that the FWI Rookie of the Year want's Rabesque's head on a stick. But The Informer has faith in the CSWA Greensboro Champ, but can he take on Jonatahn Marx, especially with the mentally distressed John Doe is in Marx's corner? Only time will tell.
Informer's Overall Thoughts:
You never know what will happen when DREDD is lurking in New Era's locker rooms, the French Activist certinally want to elminate the [Quote]"Virus that infects the New Era World Heavyweight Championship." [End quote] So godo luck to you Jean Rabesque. ``xEpAuyllllEBJOPPYvd``x1094692481``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Informer``x``x``x66.2.46.76;;The Informer;;deadman_walking15_2002@yahoo.com``x``xwednesdaywire.gif``x``xNew Era``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x

Keith Scott Zimmerman's This Is Review Clash``xNFW``xThe king is dead.
Long live the fuckface.
In an evening that saw makeovers, upsets and another pair of great performances from yours truly, the big news is the title change: Sonny Silver overcame 15 years of professional wrestling and 5,000 of evolution to win the Championship. Of course, that should be MY title, but he paid off Mark to double countout instead of letting me roll over for the academic pin. I'd ask how many more of my sloppy seconds the Shill-O-Matic could take, but Liz is dating Deft.
Sort of.
Oh, yes, I went there.
Anyway, this is what happened from the city so nice they named it twice and the whores charged quadruple...
Russa beat the School Girl. tSG jumped him from behind and immediately made with the violence via superkick and super Santana. But when she missed a tornillo to the floor, Russa jumped on her and worked over her ribs and back due to the Silver assault Tuesday. The match went to the floor, though, and she proceeded to kick him. A LOT. In painful places, too. She locked on a guillotine choke but he finagled a rope. Russa then went back on offense but hurt his leg on a pescado and that gave the momentum back to the Girl, who in short order locked in a hizajujigatame. When she followed up and hit a super flying tornado DDT, she thought she'd ended it but Russa got his foot on the ropes. Russa used her offense to get nearfalls off of flash pins, then stepped up to a bridging German, fishbuster, and Sharpshooter. She caught him with a DDT out of nowhere and Sliced Bread #2 followed in short order by the Sky Twister Press. Nope. Again showing her impatience, she walked into a Exploder '98 and Russa locked in the Plum Stretch. To the surprise of most, she tapped out. [Probably the biggest win of Russa's career, though he's pulled off big wins before and sucked the heat out of any momentum he'd get with mispushes and whatnot. You'd think this would be the start of a downward slide of the School Girl, and yet...] the Silent Bunny Assassins beat DragOn. Funny stuff as Akage pulled the fake ¡FOUUUUUUUUL TERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE! against Leigh and Monet actually bought it. Leigh then quickly played Ricky Morton, as she is wont to do. The Drags took turns having their way with her and got rid of the Jolly Green Jobber with a spike piledriver to the floor. They even busted out the assissted abdominal stretch. However, Hiro ignored Heel Rule #5: Don't ever, EVER pull the face up after you hit your finisher if they're not a jobber. Sure enough, Duncan got the hot tag shortly thereafter and they killed the new Orient Express DED with a legsweep/lariat combination that was named despite me never having seen it before, so you know it was lights out guerilla radio. [Decent match; the heels showed their evil heel tactics, and with evil tag champions you have a face team waiting in the wings to get after them. Easy.]
Brandon Youngblood beat Longshot. Youngblood came out aping Mr. Stephanie in lieu of Orton and had a new female manager, thus tipping off those of us in the know he would be victorious. Brandon controlled early with mat work, and Longshot countered with some lucha libre goodness. Once he got control Longshot beat him down, took out BY & the manager (Michelle something) with a baseball slide, and pogoed him on the outside culminating in a overhead belly to belly on the floor. He went back into the ring to seal the deal but Youngblood backdropped him over and out onto--but not through--the announce table. OW. Remarkably, Longshot rallied from this to lock the triangle choke and hit the Neil Hart Attack. Youngblood got a foot on the ropes, and you knew 'Shot was screwed: sure enough, Youngblood reeled off a Wild Bomb, superplex, and Arnbuster in short order to take the match. [A well-paced match that leaves Shot looking strong while Youngblood 2.0 shows a more calculated viciousness--shades of Malenko at times. No Greatness Slam, though. Hmmm...]
Deft beat David Morey to go ahead 2-1 in their series. Deft got a good pop early for busting Caleb in the face when Davey sent him to the floor. The normal big man-little man battle broke out as expected, and Deft ended up taking Caleb out wholly with a tornillo to the floor. tSG could learn something from him. Eddy hit an EstradaNamedMoveGoesHere, went to the Lucha Chinlock of Doom, and Dave tapped almost before it got on. [Obviously just a tease considering this has to go to five. Short and energetic, what bit of it there was.]
Quinton May, version 1 beat Quinton May, version 2. Rather than reach for the stupid Q button all the livelong day, 2 is the evil, 1 is the good. S'all right? 2 gets in my good side right off the bat with an early Inciter III. Outside of a missed missile dropkick it was all 2 in the opening moments; he worked over the arm with a series of manuevers and hit the Savage elbow onto it for an obstenible but not literal 3. The next few minutes was all 1, who eventually TC of the B with an not-quite TD '91 for the win. 2 pretty much coup d'etated the whole angle by saying 1 was real and everything had been a lie. But he was a part of QM's life, from somewhere. POOF! [Look! I've gone crosseyed! Hopefully this just becomes a sidebar to Quin-Ton vs. Security Guy...Osyrus? That's his name, Ally? OK, Osyrus in the next arc to come.]
Sabotage beat Thunderstruck to retain the Squared Circle Tag Team Championships. Tim started off with the Steamboat goodness. With Michelle starting off she drew the heat, and the Upper Midcard Express hit the double backbreaker in the opening moments. Mrs. T responded with some offense, allowing the challengers to bust out the Midnight Express in retaliation. The theme firmly established, they traded tandem moves: Vegomatic from the faces, Defuser from the champs. Champs with a double suplex, faces with a Hart Attack, champs with a souped-up Problem Solver, etc. Rob took some more punishment in the extended R'n'R formula, as Logan/Pulaski hit a wannabe La Deluge at one point and a Harlem Hangover for nearfalls. Tim cut off a near fall and hit the running version of the AJ Death Drop, but went up again and of course died died died. Rob hit the super spinning Michinoku Driver and tagged out to the Missus who floored Logan with another consecutive f'n Ruben Ross tribute via shooting star frog splash. (Did I mention I avoided that move? Me > Tim. But you knew that.) NEW CHAMPS! Except the part where his leg was on the ropes and he quickly schoolboyed her. To paraphase a wise cartoon, YOINK! [Sabotage retains. I like the suddenness of the ending, as it played into Michelle's relative inexperience. I also like the fact it was clean: if Thunderstruck wants to press the issue, they can point to the dubious nature of the pinfall; the champs can say "Hey, we beat you clean. Piss off. Next." Good match with a bonus check for the endgame...]
Yours Truly beat Mike Randalls to retain the Evolutionary Title. Here's what happened: I almost died. Then after that, the story became Randalls' semi-controlled psychotic outbursts vs. my move strings, which stepped up in nature as the match went on, .8 Eddie and everything. Mike tried to close out, but I got out of the way of the 450°. Communication Breakdown, markOUT, and markOUT 2½ was the final insult, as even the Wolf got run down by the Purple & Black Express. [Everybody wins: I bleed profusely--what IS it with me and PPVs and me having to blade like this is the Bingo Hall?--the opponent looks s p e c t a c u l a r, and I win. It's a celebration, bitches! But I won't be there, everything's hurt. Plus you're out living it up today, and I still got dues to pay...]
the Flying Frenchie of course beat Rook Black. Rook wrestled viciously right out of the gate like someone had just told him his win-loss record right before the match or something. Pierre got off the Time Bomb but Rook wouldn't be deterred from serving him a free pass to the headbutt buffet. Rook was finally talked into being calm by Hart--and then Pierre proceeded to reveal his clever rope-a-dope, Because, After All, Rook's A Dope. Loire Valley Driver, Guillotine, garcon, le cheque. [Heh. Rook's a dope. I really wish they would've said something on commentary about this being the building where Pierre injured the leg Rook was working on early, but alas. Remember, kids: evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb.]
David Morey squashed Deft to tie their series at 2 and force a fifth and final match. Powerbomb. The End. No, really. [What in the name of Kamala was THAT!?]
Razor Blade beat Jesse Ramey. Immediate quasi-brawl, which I like and wonder why the Clones match didn't start this way if it's all blood fued. Ramey rolled through a Razor superplex for 2. Ramey couldn't buy any offense early on, new girlfriend or not. Eventually he had the presence of mind to slip a DDT and in short order hit the Rolling Midcarder. It set up the Rameysault but Razor got the knees up. Blade disposed of Nicky temporarily and then they fought over a figure 4. Razor got the best of Ramey again but whiffed on the Savage elbow, allowing a split-legged moonsault to come out of the Jesse arsenal. Razor then went after Santiago again and in the brief Pier 4 chaos locked in a ringpost figure 4. When both men hit the floor off of another brawl, Neil Hart kicked out both of the seconds. Razor then took control of the match, hitting pretty much every signature move in his arsenal but Ramey kicking out. Finally, Razor put him away with the Tommyhawk for 3. [Perfectly acceptable midcard wrestling. I would've thought Ramey going over with all the kickouts and new girlfriend but obviously that did not come to pass.]
Coral Avalon and Max Danger went to a no-contest. Nothing much really happened: they started with the normal face/face tactics and Mandatory ECW Standoff. Max foolishly tried to skin the cat, hit the apron, and went down quicker than you can say "Kellen Kinkade's push". Trish called for the X, and that was that. [Can't review an incomplete. Worse things could happen than Max coming back and turning heel to beat down the Hamburglar, though. I's just saying.]
the School Girl won the Clash Royale, finally beating Rook Black (of course) to earn a shot at the Championship come Players & Pawns. So it started off with of course me at #1, and Coral at #2. One of us almost wrestled a has-been cripple and the other one of us faced Mike Randalls. No conspiraces my big Oklahoma behind. Yellow got #3 but Avalon got rid of him in short order, and then bring forth the Frenchie at #4. IWC shows you why we're the best tag team in the world as Hamburglar quickly falls prey to the STIWC and Internet Star Press. Deft's in at #5, surely not angered by me having made him tap out Tuesday. Leigh's #6, and Rook's #7. Rook of course cheap shots me from behind with the Italian Legitimate Businessman's Kick from behind, and Pierre drops the Zoloft Princess out mid-Icky Shuffle. Good for him! Charlie Vi--Charlie Victory's still alive at 8? MURDERDEATHKEITH THAT SHIT DOWN! Now he's not. Bye! Rob in at #9 to Pearl Harbor me with a Blue Thunder, and then Coral cheats so that I MDK Frenchie out of it. But no conspiracies! Chiaki comes down at the midpoint and bounces Rob & Deft before Michelle comes in at 11. Chain spot where she 619s tSG, I hit her with the Shoryuken, and Coral hits me with the Diamond Dust. Lester Gatts comes off the milk box at 12 while I get double teamed for about the sixth time. Nicky Santiago in at 13, he cleans house. Jesse Ramey at 14 but SG eliminates any boyfriend v. girlfriend possibilites by eliminating the girlfriend. Michelle & Coral hit Poetry In Motion on her. I hit Mrs. T with the BEST GODDAMN FUCK YOU JASON CROSS BRAINBUSTER IN THE BUSINESS while SG dives and takes out Avalon on the floor, not eliminating either. 15? Russa. Who jumps me. And then Rook goes after me. Another double-team on my wrecked body as Lester gets sent to the back to realign his cojones. I fall victim to one last double team and in my FOURTYSIXTH minute of wrestling ¾ of the fucking roster, get eliminated. So fuck the rest of this shit, except for the returning Jeff Garvin! (So I guess the spinebuster's Brandon's finisher again.) SG bounces Avalon, leading to part 2: School Girl v. Rook. He hit the fishbuster, Blackplex, and the counterbomb, but SG came through with a hard kick to his face whilst he was on his ass. GP went nuts yelling "Strike Of Death!", and with a name like that it's here to end the match and chew gum. We have no more gum. The School Girl gets the title shot for the October PPV, Sinners & Saints. [The REAL Winner: Russa, who just tapped out the #1 contender to the championship. Didn't I beat her? Didn't she lose to start the show? Didn't she get 9 spots of me and NOT get the Tarantino beat out of her by Mike f'n Randalls? The whole fucking world's against me, dude, I swear to god...]
Deft beat David Morey by knockout to win the series 3-2. It started off as a brawl. Then there was more brawling. The commentary and audio guys didn't quite catch everything but apparently at some point David either slept with Liz or decided that's how he wanted to go down Taunt Road in game 5. (Probably the first one. Just saying.) Anyway, it eventually got back in the ring, where Deft no-sold the Orange Terror Alert he'd suffered to unmask. That being done, he went on offense but quickly got derailed. Triple powerbomb but a lax cover. Outside of the occassional chop flurry Morey went on offense for what seemed like 48 years but I am informed was closer to six to eight minutes. Either/or, Deft kept showing the Resilient Persistence, mask or not. Finally, he got the CFCW to stop the offensive flow, then started doing all sorts of flying with Frenchie legdrops and Lionsaults, lastly hitting the MURDERDEATHKILL powerbomb but having Morey kick out of that. All the Morey offense had made him the defacto face so there was even a small BS chant when that happened. After throwing siggies at each other for a couple of minutes, the match seemed to end with the Chokeslam From Hell, but Mark restarted the match. Deft seemed to be going back on offense, but Dave crotched Trish and hit the UberVindication. Dave didn't recover, Deft did (barely). [So Dave wins the match twice but doesn't win the match. The hell? It'll be interesting to see if they try using this audience as a fulcrum to spring a Deft face turn on us a la Orton or if this is going to have to be written off as the usual New York smarts going away from the "expected" that the company puts out. Anyway, considering the Royale it now makes sense in retrospect to have 3 & 4 be as fast as they were. 3 was average, 4 was a dud, and 5 was slightly above average. So it delivered, and seeing Morey lose is never a bad thing.]
Sonny Silver beat Alias by pinfall/Hebner job to win the Squared Circle Championship. Alias worked the arm to start, and the requisite Main Event Brawling took place. Sonny got the upper hand by working the leg and locking in the Meltzer Clutch. He then hits the triple verts and the Garvin Will Now Be Taking His Stomp Back before locking on a Boston crab. 1986 called, S2, it wants it's hold back. Alias came back with his own Street Fighter move and the Pulped, but Sonny hit the Loire Valley Driver, thus now ripping off 2 101 members in this match. Alias came back by hitting the Electric Chair Driver into the corner and the Hooligan Lipsmacker (THREE 101 members in the match, and whoever jobs will be Chambers, so that's it.) for near falls. Sonny hit the fucking Mark Of Excellence and a cobra clutch suplex, Alias came back with a Diamond Dust. Then it moved into the finish: Sonny hit the inverted brainbuster. Nope. Desperate, Alias almost immediately countered via Hiroshima Bitchslap. That ain't doing it. Sonny went for the belt, Alias locked in the Sharpshooter. Sonny, who was out of rope breaks, made the ropes, but Mark made Alias break it. This brought Monet to the apron, but she was quasi-accidentally taken out. Alias dropped Sonny and went to finish with the SSP, but Sonny put the belt in the way in full sight of Shields and hit a second inverted brainbuster to win the title. [So it wraps up the one evil referee angle, and the match was all right if you're into these losers. Watch things go from bad to worse. X-Pac '04 with the title? Hell, if you wanted to make me nauseous, let's put one on Bradsh--oh, right.]
I think this is probably leading to a School Girl/Alias/Silver match at SnS: a straight heel-on-heel thing isn't going to fly, and sacrificing one of the better built heels for a short-term face run isn't going to do anybody any favors. Plus, you got to figure she's got to get Russa off her back at some point before going onto her Championship match. It of course, is pointless, as I have defeated all 3 of them in some form or another.
The SBA & Thunderstruck are in a race for the top contendership, and that's got to be settled once and for all as well.
With Max injuring himself, I think I see another round of Avalon/Garvin on the horizon.
What's left for me? I beat the most highly decorated wrestler in the place. What the hell's could be next or compare to such a moment? YAWN.
Anyway, despite the horrible ending, **** from me.``xEpAuuVuFpuOZmouiWc``x1094457904``xwire``x56481091824871``xKeith Scott Zimmerman``xhttp://keithscottzimmerman.blogspot.com/``x``x``x``xKSZwire.gif``x``xtSC``x(reprinted with permission from keithscottzimmerman.blogspot.com)``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
A CS Renaissance?``xShawnHartXXX``xI was a tuba player in the high school marching band.
I know, it’s hard to believe... but there was a time before the Phenom. A time when the pinnacle of my existence was the latest episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Heck, a time when the only romantic experience I had to speak of involved a Carpenters record, some laundry of my sister’s that had somehow become intermingled with mine, and a tube of Colgate toothpaste.
All of that changed at the hands of a man named Merritt.
One day, about 10 years ago, and at the behest of Momma and Mother, I put my weekly dose of Jean-Luc Picard on hold in order to attend my first ever ‘rasslin show. Mr. Chad Merritt and the CSWA were in town and apparently I needed to “have a social life.” So, not wanting to brave the torrent that inevitably comes when refuting an all-estrogen parental unit, I hunkered down and emerged from the basement. Little did I know that my life thereafter would never quite carry the same tune again.
Simply put, I was awe-struck. The artistry, the athleticism, the downright audacious personas... it was the grandest form of sports or theatre I had ever seen. I was mesmerized by the way guys like Mike Randalls or Hornet could take total control of an arena just by uttering a few words or slapping each other’s chests a bit. Needless to say, I was inspired to get out and take charge of my situation. Those men had a power over all the people they performed before. I think it goes without saying that I wasn’t the only one who was affected.
Fast forward to the present. The CSWA is still here, but Mr. Merritt is not. Years of mismanagement and bad bookkeeping have finally caught up to the CS juggernaut in the form of insurance fraud. With nary a hope of sanctuary in sight, the Phenom and his Fun Bus feared the worst for the company that motivated him to become a B-level SUPAH-STAH in a cutthroat industry.
Enter Stephen Thomas.
This blast from the past is apparently back from the dead and, along with his recently betrothed, one Hortense McRae, is the one ultimately responsible for the undoing of Chad Merritt. That being said, it has become painfully obvious to yours truly that Stephen Thomas is a cranky old bastard from Hell. In other words, he’s just the man the CSWA needs.
Well-intentioned as he may have been, Merritt has allowed a once mighty establishment to hit its lowest low. The CSWA hasn’t run a show in months and a once exuberant talent roster has surrendered itself to apathy. Thomas, on the other hand, is already exerting his authority. "Alleged" doper Dan Ryan has been given the boot, Joey Melton once again holds the company’s top title, the tag division is kaput, and we’re all set and ready to go for a Labor Day re-launch of EPIC proportions! Glory, glory hallelujah.
While one can only hope that Thomas maintains this momentum and carries the CSWA back to prominence, the end result has yet to be seen. For the sake of grease-faced Trekkies everywhere, I hope he succeeds.
Next week, an intro into the terrible and zany world of LoC. I'm Shawn Hart... and I’m not wearing any underwear. ``xEpAuuFpFuVEoRQCPgl``x1094433945``xwire``x56481091824871``xThe Phenom``xhttp://www.cswawrestling.com/index.shtml``x``x``x``xweekendwire.gif``x``xCSWA``xDr. Hart Thinks It Possible.``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Rush Pro To Hit The Road?``xguestfw``xTaking a look at Rush Pro Wrestling, there are certain things that aren't adding up. For instance, each show has been sold out a few days in advance, securing a large gate revenue. The average buy rate for Adrenaline in the markets it airs is somewhere near .2, which means nearly fifty thousand homes across fifteen markets are purchasing Adrenaline each Sunday Night.
Why then, has Christian Kannon enacted a hiring freeze in Rush Pro Wrestling? 'I can tell you that Kannon is upset that a few of the members of the roster seem to take 'open booking' for granted, instead thinking of it as 'show up, and get paid'.' said RPW Public Relations Dictator Matt Jay. 'There are still a few people that were hired before this current freeze, a former OSW and fWo wrestler that's a friend of Eclipse Title Challenger Aimz, as well as a former fWo Tag Team. But, beyond that, there's really no place in the organization for anyone.'
Christian Kannon was less than kind with his words. 'I'm tired of being taken advantage of. I inherited a monsterous pay scale, as well as quite a few horrendous contracts, thanks to Rush Mason and Little Al. Not only that, but UNCC needs to be paid for it's time and arena space, and security. We nearly hired a private security firm, but the owner decided not to show up the week that Angelo Deville started poking his head around.
'I'm really not happy with the current situation. You look at Rush Pro Wrestling and think we're making money hand over fist. The truth is, people around us are getting rich, and we're sitting here, barely able to pay our referees, and production people, thanks to the fat contract UNCC 'negotiated', and I use that term VERY loosely. While I thank UNCC for it's use of the Halton Arena these past few weeks, there's a HUGE market through the Carolinas for RPW. Eventually, we'll go on tour. Right now, we don't even have the means to negotiate with other arenas for a deposit. We're against the wall.'
UNCC Dean of the College of Communications and RPW Vice President of Media Relations, William J. St. Clair offered the following to RPW viewers. 'It's true that RPW isn't exactly a cash cow for both sides. With increased security, as well as most of the wrestlers living within 20 minutes of UNCC, it's been difficult to provide a safe environment for all members involved. Eventually, we'll have that. RPW's only a baby in terms of longevity. Soon enough, there'll be a structure in place to provide RPW not only time to visit other markets, but also ensure that UNCC is safe and secure.'
The question is, when will RPW start touring? One wrestler, speaking anonomously to this reporter offered the following: 'I've got a friend in town that does truck rental. Rumor has it that each weekend in October, there's been a fleet of trucks rented to the name 'K.A. Non.' I dunno if it's real or not, but, they've rented some of the big ones. Ones that could fit ring stuff and equipment.'

The K-Wolf In The Dog House?``xguestfw``xDespite her immense popularity with the RPW fans, it appears that Karina Wolfenden has found herself in the management's bad books. Since finding out that her successful shot for the RPW Championship at The Kannon Effect was rigged to rile Magnum Wolf, the young superstar has had few good things to say about the RUSH Pro figurehead, and her approach to the federation is drawing her even more heat.
"Since losing the belt to Magnum Wolf, she's dropped off the radar," Kannon addressed the situation with. "She's dropped out of the singles divisions, forming the Golden Touch with Poe, despite not asking prior permission. We've received reports that she's being even more curt than usual with other wrestlers, and she appears to just be clocking in, doing her minimal bit, then clocking back out again."
When RPW was formed, part of it's backstage etiquette was for all the wrestlers to stay until the last bell... something which Karina has violated 2 weeks straight, one either-side of her impromptu week off.
"In RPW, we're meant to respect the efforts of others," Kannon hit out. "When a former RPW, and former 2 time Eclipse Champion rides off into the night with matches still to go, it sets a bad example... and one I don't want others to follow. If she starts infecting Poe with her increasingly selfish ways, then I might not be able to avoid taking action."
After The Kannon Effect, there was a noticeable change in Karina. During her war with Magnum Wolf, she was focussed for every minute of every show, always waiting to react to his next move. Now, it appears that with the weight off her shoulders, she refuses to be held down by rules and etiquette.
"To be fair, she's done just about everything that's been asked of her," Matt Jay chipped in with, offering a balancing view. "Her style helped found the Eclipse division, she's wrestled injured, stood up to Magnum Wolf, helped out on the tag scene... she's just... well, Karina. She's never going to be friendly and talkative with people she barely knows, and she's not a fan of hanging around backstage when she's finished for the night. That, and she's as good as told her boss she'll kick his head off of his shoulders if he comes anywhere near her."
In a short and sweet answer to some of the criticisms levelled at her, Karina simply said, "I've been busy."
Knowing that Karina Wolfenden has every reason in the world to hate him, will Christian Alexander Kannon have to take action against his stubborn star? Or with Angelo Deville and Magnum Wolf to worry about, will he have to leave the K-Wolf to her own devises?

Return Event Card Announced``xChad``xComing off a three-month long hiatus due to legal problems and a change in ownership that saw former co-founder Stephen Thomas return to power, the CSWA announced the card for its Labor Day Layout event to be offered free on NCN.
The ninety-minute card features Joey Melton making his first defense of his current reign as CSWA World Champion, a title which was given to him in the boardroom after it was taken away from Dan Ryan. Former four-time champion Hornet was announced as Melton's opponent for the special event, setting up a rematch for the title between two men who know each other well.
Timmy Windham, who has claimed responsibility for his 'brother' Mark's retirement will face off against former Unified Champion and the "Posterboy of Hardcore" Tsunami in a match that could just as easily feature flaming goo from the head of a small muppet as it could a shooting star press through a table.
In a match to determine the top contender to the CSWA World Championship, former US Champion Shane Southern faces off against current Presidential Champion Eddie Mayfield. Southern was formerly named the top contender via a win over Hornet at the last CSWA SHOWTIME event, but with the change in ownership apparently came a change in how the championship committee viewed the standings.

Ultra Brawl Returns To Sky Dome!``xKMAJackson``xThe EUWC has many homes... Over the years, several arenas have been called the EUWC's Home... The EUWC Extreme Arena in New York City... The EUWC Brawl Arena in Toronto, and Madison Square Garden in New York City. But the arena that will always feel like home to the EUWC Superstars is the Sky Dome in Toronto Ontario Canada! On September 12 the EUWC will be returning to Sky Dome for the annual Pay Per View Event, Ultra Brawl...
This will be the sixth installment of the EUWC's main Pay Per View event, and the first time the EUWC will be in Sky Dome since October 24, 1999 when EUWC Ultra Brawl III was held there... And this year's Ultra Brawl will not dissappoint.
The Main Event will see two of the biggest EUWC Superstars battle it out for the EUWC World Heavyweight Championship. The Champion, Damian Stone will defend the title against Holocaust in a match for the ages. These two men have been feuding since April and will bring their feud to a culmination at EUWC Ultra Brawl VI in Toronto.
It all began whenHolocaust was crowned the World Heavyweight Champion at EUWC Aftershock on April 25, 2004. The following week on Main Frame, Damian Stone (DDS) made it known that the EUW World Heavyweight title was his next goal. Over the next few weeks, Holocaust would attack DDS and his wife, Echo; fuelling thetemper of DDS. At EUWC eXile on May 30, Holocaust was able to defeat both DDS and Danny Collins in a triple threat match to retain the title.
However, DDS was not finished with the leader of the Dominion... DDS went on a rampage attacking Holocaust and challenging him to a title match at EUWC Summer Sizzler. Holocaust accepted, but soon found out that this match would not be any normal encounter. This match would be a House of Horrors Match and if DDS lost he would retire. Over the following weeks, Holocaust did the unthinkable and drove his car into DDS' car which held Echo. Echo was horribly injured and Holocaust was subsequently suspended.
At Summer Sizzler, DDS fulfilled his dream and defeated Holocaust in the House of Horrors Match to win the EUWC World Heavyweight Championship. That match is being label;ed as the Match of the Year by many critics. However, DDS and Holocaust were not finished. On the Main Frame following Sizzler, Holocaust won a triple threat match over Danny Collins and DDS to earn a shot at DDS and the World Heavyweight Title at Ultra Brawl VI.
Since then, these two have been at each other's throats trying to one-up each other. Holocaust has attacked DDS on several occasions and most recently, DDS attacked Holocaust and sent Holocaust and himself crashing through the Main Frame Stage.
On September 12, these two will hook it up one more time to try and settle the score once and for all. DDS looks to retain his World Heavyweight Title, while Holocaust looks to put the Dominion back on top of the EUWC... At Ultra Brawl all these questions will be answered...
Who will win in this final clash of two titans?!

Sean Taylor Poised To Break Record``xKMAJackson``xIn the past year, the EUWC has seen many great Superstars do battle in the ring. However, many critics would argue that one man stands out above the rest. That man is current EUWC International Champion Sean Taylor. What Sean Taylor is most known for is the fact that wherever he goes, he is always carrying a copy of the EUWC Rulebook. Some sources claim that this is the secret to Sean's success. Some of the accolades Taylor has earned: 2 Time EUWC International Champion & Co-Winner 2003 Superstar of the Year.
In his short career (spanning just around 18 months) Sean Taylor is ready to break the record for longest reigning International Champion in EUWC History. The current record holding reign is 96 days. Who holds the record you ask?! Sean Taylor!
On July 27 2003, Sean Taylor defeated Damian Stone in a House of Horrors Match at Summer Sizzler to be crowned the new EUWC International Champion. After several successful feuds against the likes of Samuel Roundtree and Cole Justice, Sean Taylor broke the record for longest reigning International Champion before losing the title on the 96th day.
Just one year later, Sean Taylor is poised and ready to break that record once again. On June 11 2004, Sean Taylor defeated long-time nemesis Lynch Garrisson to recapture the International Title! Since that time the 2003 Superstar of the Year has been back in the saddle again, blowing by opponents like Texas Lightning, Marcus Slayton and once again Lynch Garrisson.
On September 16 2004 Sean Taylor will officially surpass his previous reign as International Champion, and cement his spot as the Undisputed Greatest EUWC International Champion of All Time.
Only one thing stands in Sean's way... That being the challenge of former EUWC World Heavyweight Champion and the man that Sean Taylor shared the 2003 Superstar of the Year award with - Lord Alucard. On September 12 at EUWC Ultra Brawl VI these two men will square off in what will be Taylor's last title defense before surpassing his goal. However if Taylor is unsuccessful at Ultra Brawl, his run at the record will be destroyed.
However, a victory isn't the only thing on Taylor's mind at Ultra Brawl. He and Lord Alucard have had quite a history over the past 18 months. Despite being named Co-Winners of the Superstar of the Year award, these two men have ruled the EUWC, having only met one on one twice before. In both of those encounters, a clear winner was never determined.
At EUWC Ultra Brawl VI, these two will finally battle it out to prove who is the best in the EUWC! If Alucard gets the victory, Sean Taylor could fade into obscurity. Howevr if Taylor manages to gain the victory, it would be the biggest win of his short career; and could sky-rocket him towards the one prize he has never held...
The EUWC World Heavyweight Championship.
On September 12, all eyes will be on Sean Taylor vs Lord Alucard for the EUWC International Championship.``xEpAupupkFVWwmTFkrm``x1094043835``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xMark Stratford``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/euwc``xIn the past year, the EUWC has seen many great Superstars do battle in the ring.

Flagship PPV Looks To Tear Down Frozen Tundra``xChad``xGolden Dreams, A1E's centerpiece pay-per-view event, will be coming live from legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc.
This year's event has two big main-event caliber matches, including a four-way match over the World Championship. The World title has been mired in contraversy the last few weeks. The former champ, Euclid, had to retire suddenly from competition, but he still defended and lost the title to Torment on a recent edition of Tuesday Night Warfare. There was some outcry over this, but the solution was to have a four-way double elimination match featuring the new champion Torment, co-number one contenders James Irish and Ken Cloverleaf and the most recent PPV challenger to the title, "Sensational" Steven Shane.
The rules of the double elimination match are simple. Two men wrestle in the ring at all times, while the other two watch the action on the outside. Once there is a fall in hte ring, the loser exits and another wrestler steps in. This continues until three men have been eliminated twice. The winner of this match will claim the A1E Championship with pride beyond any shadow of a doubt.
In another huge match, Housefly and Beast will finally settle their long running issue in a best two of three falls match. For anyone who hasn't followed A1E for the last two or three years, their feud has dominated the fed, and this match ought to bring closure to the enmity between the former friends.
Also on the card is a match between former World Champion Big Dog and "The Queen of the Ring" Lindsay Troy. This match has been brewing for quite awhile, ever since Troy joined the Empire and Big Dog returned to active competition at Vengeance in the War Games match between Beast's faction and the Empire.
It's also rumored that this could be Troy's final A1E match, since her contract has run out. If htat is the case, look for this to be a barnburner.
Other matches include the Empire team of Gladiator and Drifter taking on Richard Farnswirth and Slambo the Clown from the Highland Park Social Club, Duchess defending her Cyber Championship against AJ Cirrus, the man she beat to claim the title, Roderick McRatrick defending the Triple Star Championship against Promo, Chip Friendly, Freakshow and Kid Canada tangling in a three-way match, Damon Blackburn defending the Survivor Championship against Mr. Incredible, BC Steele, El Pantera and "Main Event" Micheal James battling in another three way, and in a special feature match, Prisoner 187 taking on Captain Suleimon in a "Hardcore, Falls Count Anywhere, Loser Gets Ten Lashes with a Whip" match.

Bids Farewell To One Of Their Own``xKeith Jackson``xYesterday morning (August 27, 2004) former EUWC World Heavyweight Champion "Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson passed away. Sampson (whose real name is Chad Dupree) suffered a heart attack following complications during a surgery he underwent earlier in the week. The EUWC and all of it's superstars are saddened by this news, and wish to express our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of such an incredible person and talent.
"Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson made his EUWC debut in November of 2001. In his short career with the EUWC, Rob Sampson made incredible waves. In just a few short weeks, on November 30, 2001, Rob Sampson was able to defeat Larry Serson to win his first title; the EUWC United States Championship. Sampson wasn't finished there... On December 18, 2001 "Mr. Main Event" won an eight man one night tournament to be crowned the EUWC's King of the Ring.
On January 20, 2002 Rob Sampson continued his ascension to the top by defeating 29 other men to win the EUWC Royal Rumble Match at Maximum Carnage 2002. On March 24, 2002 Rob Sampson achieved his greatest goal by defeating Crimson and Buck Naked to become the EUWC World Heavyweight Champion at EUWC Battle of the Weights IV. Just one month later, Rob Sampson added another great victory to his resume by pinning STEALTH at EUWC Aftershock.
In 2003, Rob Sampson made a brief return to the EUWC to feud with long time friend Jordan Lockhart.
While Chad Dupree's (Rob Sampson) time in the EUWC was short, his impact will be remembered forever as a good friend and one of the greatest competitors to ever enter an EUWC ring. Chad will be sorely missed...

Possible Return For Dragon?``xJames Cornett``xCairo Championship Wrestling has recently learned that CEO Jecht Cronqvist and Neona Dragon have been meeting in C2W's Egypt offices for a possible contract negotiation.
According to rumor sites, Dragon, upon seeing that someone was imitating her in Hellcore Wrestling Federation, wanted to get back in the game to prove who the REAL Neona Dragon is. Noticing that Cronqvist was IN that federation, Dragon contacted him first to see if he knew any federations that were accepting applications.
As it turned out, Cronqvist had just restarted his old fed, High-Impact Wrestling Entertainment. Talks have been going on since before the legal battle that took place in mid-July, forcing Cronqvist to chance HWE's name to C2W. If accepted, Dragon will likely recruit her partner Luke as well.
This would be the first wrestler signed to C2W since the legal battle began, as well as a huge deal for Cronqvist--Dragon has not wrestled in a major federation since early 1999.``xEpAFllpkVAjuuhUYCD``x1093883859``xoldnews``x``xC2W Legal Representative Drake Askari``xhttp://fwrestling.com/host/highimpact``xNeona Dragon, a top wrestler back in the late 1990s, is planning a return to the ring.

Random Rumble Finale Approaches``xNFW``xThis weekend, New Frontier Wrestling will close out their regular season with 3 Random Rumbles in 3 different cities.
Not to mention with points a-plenty to be doled out, its still anybody's ballgame.
The conference looking the most stable at the top right now is the NFW North, where its all but a sure thing that Jonathan Marx will clinch the #1 seed with a decent showing in the Rumble.
The only cause for concern for himself and Kazuo Shizaki, the other North Division leader - would be the chance of injury as Conference Commissioner, Avery Prosser has instituted quite an anomaly of a stipulation on the North Event.
The Rumble will be held in a double cage with Prosser hired lumberjacks, at the top - where the final two combatants will have to climb out and escape. Prosser's push to expedite his whole roster and destroy NFW from within has been quite successful, but look for Cameron Cruise, Marx, Shizaki and Shawn Douglas to do their best in fighting against their oppressors.
The 'wild' card definitely will be Steel Viper, as last week - the Las Vegas native attacked his OWN parents in an effort to prove just how far off the deep end he's gone.
And that's just where, the chaos starts. I could go into the NFW East and how Castor Strife has basically announced that the winner of the East Rumble garners EVERYONE's points in an Ultimate Jeopardy/Sudden Death environment that could prevent Michael Manson from making the playoffs, now that his one-time compatriots have turned on him; led by NOT Jonathan Marx.
But the real questions loom in the NFW South, where in one division - only 10 points separate Jean Rabesque, Joey Melton and Dan Ryan. While in the other division, Hornet and Shane Southern are a mere 5 points apart. One indication so far for this Bunkhouse Brawl Rumble has come from the Shane Southern camp in a recent promo, where he basically promises a whole lotta hell; which isn't like the fan-favorite. With Eddy Love and Deacon out of the contest from their draw; the Highwayman and Lone Wolf (no doubt Calvin Carlton hires) will take their place.
The rules as explained for the North and South Rumbles will be that every pinfall/submission will be worth 5 points, while the winner receives 20. Therefore, the standings as we know them may change in a hurry if a wrestler catches a hot streak.
...after all, stranger things have happened here...
...I'll point to the Beau Michaels/Cameron and Mercedes Cruise partnership as my lead example this week.``xEpAFlVyAZlsuCOWYkT``x1093860578``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xNatrone Rice``xhttp://nfw.fwrestling.com``xThis weekend, New Frontier Wrestling will close out their regular season with 3 Random Rumbles in 3 different cities.

CSWA: Merritt OUT!``xChad``xIn a shocking press conference held Sunday evening, the CSWA announced that owner Chad Merritt has been stripped of his legal authority of the company by a District Court judge, apparently in the midst of a corporate scandal that has rocked CS Enterprises. A lawsuit brought against Merritt and the company in June was kept under wraps by virtue of a gag order, until now.
In a decision released Friday and announced by the company today, the judge rules that enough preliminary evidence had been brought against Merritt to substantiate the charges of insurance fraud. He immediately signed the order stripping Merritt of his authority as requested by a group representing 38% of the company’s stakeholders, an amount equal to Merritt’s own stock holdings in the company.
Reporters were ready to dig in with questions as CSWA spokeswoman Teri Melton relayed the news, but she was removed from the podium as the acting chairman was introduced, and the questions were replaced by gasps when former CSWA co-owner Stephen Thomas stepped up, with long-time CSWA employee (and apparently his new wife) Hortense McRae at his side.
Thomas was reported lost and presumed dead when his private jet went down in the Pacific over four years ago. Along with him, Lyle Tallman (aka the Red Midget) and the pilot were also reported missing.
In papers released at the press conference, Thomas was revealed behind the lawsuit against Merritt and the company. He was appointed as the interim chairman by the stockholder group requesting Merritt’s ouster. A new chairman will be elected by a full stockholders’ meeting held in November.
Thomas wasted no time making major announcements regarding his immediate plans for the CSWA. He announced that he and the CSWA Board of Directors met with CSWA World Champion Dan Ryan earlier in the day and stripped him of the title, citing ‘morality clause’ issues.
“From what I’ve reviewed, I believe that under my predecessor’s tenure, drug testing had become so lax that it is obvious to me he just didn’t care. Come on, all you have to do is look at Ryan’s promo shot to know that there have been some needles where the sun don’t shine. It’s time that we crack down, just like the President has asked us to,” said Thomas.
Thomas also announced that he had stripped the Diamond Cutters of the Unified World Tag Team Championships and, in fact, disbanded the entire CSWA tag division, stating that Merritt “had ignored tag team wrestling for so long that the division has become a joke.” He continued: “We might as well scrap it and start again. But first things first.”
Thomas immediately moved into what was obviously set as his cornerstone of the conference, announcing that he had decided to forego a tournament for the vacated CSWA World Championship. Instead, he introduced long time Thomas-supporter and the first CSWA World Champion, Joey Melton, and presented him with the big gold belt.
“I always knew this day would come again,” Melton said, close to tears. “All the hard work, all the determination, all the wrestling on cruise ships and in ports of call, it’s all paid off. It’s even better than the Olympics.”
“Joey represents the best in this sport, a global superstar who can launch us back onto the international scene again,” Thomas said as Melton cradled the title belt. “In fact, from the catching up I’ve done, it looks to me like this company started going downhill when Chad Merritt decided to try and keep Joey down by making him some sort of sideshow.”
Thomas made it clear that there were other “injustices” he wanted to correct as he announced that the card for Labor Day Layout, the CSWA’s return to live TV, would be released on Tuesday. He strongly hinted that the CSWA's top three championships would be defended in the special ninety-minute live broadcast.``xEpAFlFluyESnTlFqNd``x1093842061``x(default)``x53481091834249``xRudy Seitzer``xhttp://www.cswawrestling.com``xIn a shocking press conference held Sunday evening, the CSWA announced that owner Chad Merritt has been stripped of his legal authority of the company by a District Court judge, apparently in the midst of a corporate scandal that has rocked CS Enterprises.

The Ivy League``xhexedangel``xI just reread a book that I purchased earlier this year, by one of my favorite authors: 'Liquor' by Poppy Z. Brite. It was a strange followup to her third book, 'Exquisite Corpse.' That one was a graphic depiction of two sociopathic mass murderers and their attempts to seduce, decapitate, and murder a young, naive Asian named Tran. The only person who could save Tran was his former lover, an HIV Positive author/DJ/heroin addict. Poppy was not really known for her happy endings. But this book, 'Liquor' was different. There was no mass murderer, no essence of the supernatural. Almost no mention of death, destruction, or the corruption of humanity. It was about two chefs from New Orleans who, after working for a number of different restaurants through the years, luck into a situation where a wealthy owner is willing to finance their original idea - a theme restaurant where they use alcohol in every recipe.
If I may quote a passage near the beginning...
'Liquor: his thoughts seized on that idea and would not leave it alone. A restaurant based on liquor, but not too gimmicky. A really good menu, so people would keep coming back after the novelty wore off. Rickey had spent nearly half his life observing the New Orleans restaurant scene, and he felt certain that the place would be a hit.'
The book itself details that character - Rickey - and his partner Gary putting everything together, getting a crew set up, getting the location set up, and dealing with Rickey's former boss who has a personal stake in seeing the business fail. It's an interesting look at the ins and outs of cooking, of working in a fairly unique setting, and about how important it is to love what you do. I thought about this for a long time, and realized that this is true of any type of job where the nightly goal is the entertainment or enjoyment of a paying populace. The best people to run such a venture are the people who have worked for years in the field. A cook knows how to handle a cook, an athlete knows how to handle an athlete, and a wrestler or wrestling type knows how to handle a wrestler.
That was the crux of the problem with Disney and the fWo, and I finally figured it out. Travis Beaven started the fWo on a lark and somehow, his business decisions were solid. A man like that comes along once, maybe twice in a lifetime, where a combination of sense, luck, and patience makes a wrestling promotion work. By the time I had come to the fWo, Chris Universal was running things. Another wrestler, he knew how to run a wrestling company and did it well - because it was his money tied up in it. From the business sense, he wanted things to go well because when things went well, he made money, we all made money. From the locker room sense, he knew what he liked and disliked in promoters, as an athlete, and he adjusted his management style to match.
Things shut down. Jim Dudley and company took over, and they didn't give a flying crap about the fWo - that's been established. They wanted to destroy the legacy and run the company into the ground. Beaven and Terry brought things back and sold the company to a small group of investors who swore they'd keep their hands off - and they did. As long as we turned a profit, the Board of Directors would be content to let us on our way - one of the smartest decisions they made. One of, and not the smartest, for the simple reason that to help us shape the product, they brought in four trainers from the fWo's developmental territories to act as product managers. You know these men as well as I do. Silver Fox, Samuel Smooth, Thumper, and Twitch.
It was the most utopian that a wrestling promotion has ever been. The company was paid for, and all the cooks had to do was keep things simmerin' perfectly.
Since January, when Disney started to run things, they ran the company like a business, like a tourist attraction. The only people who have ever been able to successfully run a wrestling promition like a business and a tourist attraction has been CS Enterprises, because with the collection of misfits that've somehow kept our roster afloat, and Fish Fund Park... the CSWA really is a tourist attraction.
I digress. Disney threw a bunch of people at the fWo for lack of anything constructive that they could think to do with us, and the product suffered. There was nobody in a decision - making position that knew what it took to run a wrestling promotion, and anyone who knew how to run one was never listened to. I don't blame them specifically for that, they had no way of knowing that the prima donnas in the locker room weren't actually prima donnas, they just needed simple - albeit specific - handling. Do you all want to know why I clashed so much with F'king Melton and Simon Cowl? Why none of the roster cared what any of them tried to do? They didn't know how to run a wrestling promotion, simple as that. The half - assed main events that went hand in hand with the shoddy TV production were the fault of a company that didn't know what it had. Every decent program that's come down the pike has been the result of the roster taking matters into its own hands. Even now, with this apparent interest that Disney has in putting a wrestling mind in charge of the day to days, it's doomed to failure.
A company that has been embarassed by one of its sponsored projects is an irrational, overreaching one. And in their mad rush to find that mind, they found the man that nearly destroyed the company two years ago. Jim Dudley. Pardon me while I jump for joy.
There are only about a dozen others in this company who have firsthand experience with what happened the last time Dudley ran the fWo. And while I don't expect Disney executives to take my warning seriously or even read it, trust me when I say, Jim Dudley is not the solution. I don't know what kind of agenda he has in his head, but I can tell you he does not have the best interest of the fWo or Disney at heart.
Maybe Disney - the Mouse still pays the bills. But the Mouse can't sell out a twenty thousand seat arena.
This is Ivy.
-------------
He told me, but I didn't believe him. He told me and I stood there and laughed. But Jim Dudley has taken away my most powerful weapon - my mind.
I've posted this column to the fWo website twice now, and twice, it's been deleted on the spot. The bastard really has me gagged. It's just as likely to have been a directive from Cowl as it is a piece of vindictive ruling by Dudley himself. But whoever it was who made the call to take away my keyboard forgot one very important detail.
I'm Poison Ivy McGinnis. And I have a lot of friends in the wrestling business. And Chad Merritt, entertainment mogul, knows better than to censor or edit me. An unrestrained Poison Ivy makes him money. An unrestrained Poison Ivy has historically made the fWo money, but if that's not in the 'best interest' of the company anymore, then screw 'em. From this moment on, Ivy writes for Merritt and that's all. And there's no subject I can broach that he'll tell me to quiet down on.
You didn't listen to me when I tried to tell you about Miles, Dudley... well guess what? You made y'self another enemy.

Meet Joe Black``xChad``xMy name is Joe Black.
I am the owner and operator of the Black and Black School of Technical Wrestling which has been in operation since 1991.
Of course, my brother Ron does all the real work at the school. But that’s what little brothers do. Get back to work, Ron.
I serve as a road agent for tSC in an official capacity. Mostly I yell and scream at Harvard Avalon or Rosemary Avalon and they occasionally laugh at me.
But they pay well enough I guess. Generally, I make business contacts though tSC and create opportunities for Ron and I to make money.
Rana Venenosa the Survivor IV Champion is a product of the Black and Black school. Since his victory, which can be attributed to his technical prowess, came around, we’ve received a great deal of interest from everybody whose anybody regarding using our fascilities and techniques.
Which makes me laugh really long and hard.
Anyway, I’m going to write stuff, which you may or may not care to read, which I don’t really give a crap about since well, I get paid anyway. So, bleah.
Fuckity fuckity boo boo.
How you like that?
Anyway, what I’ll be covering here is the fWo and RPW.
But not today.
Well, okay, maybe a little bit.
The fWo is a company with a lot of weight and sway. Which is part of its trouble. It produces successful competition to the WWE, and is said to share the top of the mountain in terms of successful promotions.
The trouble is that fWo is now property of Walt Disney. And it’s this uncomfortable pattern that really has that promotion by the balls. They’ve been successful for a number of years now, and fWo has a significant amount of easily perceived value. Whether or not fWo belongs to Disney forever, it’ll only ever belong to millionaires or corporations that want a part of it. No one in the fWo is going to own it. Which is why Vince sits so pretty in New York. His promotion belongs to him. It’s his from the beginning, and will be his until he’s dead.
The fWo is other people’s playthings. And there’s no sign of that situation ever stopping, until every hand that takes a turn at driving that particular federation brings it a little closer to its grave, to the point where there’s nothing left of value anymore.
Except perhaps memories. But y’all don’t remember much of the AWA do you? And what can you tell me about Kurt Hennig except for the fact that he’s dead?
So the fWo is in a desperate mad scramble, trying not to kill itself accidentally as new “genius” after new “genius” tries to “save it”. You know the drill. It’s a drama type of place.
Anyway, Rush Pro Wrestling is named after the first operator Rush Mason. At the time, and this might have been a secret I guess, but I really don’t care, the monetary power behind RPW was actually Xavier Kannon back then. Then the time came where Rush Mason was murdered by some … oh wait, that’s a lie. I lie a lot. You’ll have to forgive me about that, since I don’t care much. But for the first column from me, I’ll try and refrain from lying too much. Anyway, Rush Mason made a series of poor decisions, including an unauthorized sale of the promotion while it was still technically Kannon’s. So it was a confusing time I guess. Kannon reluctantly assumed more and more of a role in it’s direction once he took the promotion back from the hands of a sixteen year old, who is probably at least seventeen by now.
Anyway, Kannon’s nemesis is that funny guy and fantastic wrestler, Magnum Wolf, who through multiple attempts of Kannon to prevent his success, decimated his figurehead of a champion in Karina Wolfendorf, or something like that. Wolf now reigns as the champion, and apparently seems to have catalys… cata… whatever that word is … the roster into a new level of activity. Wolf’s success has only continued to break Kannon’s spirit, even though he still retains all administrative power. Without the confidence necessary to carry through on your decisions, you’re powerless. Wolf has acted on that vacuum and things are going places. Of course, someone named Angelo showed up, and apparently that’s opening up a whole new can of worms.
I figure that’s plenty of stuff to get everyone started on the places that I’m covering. Also from this point forward, I refuse to take responsibility for any information that I have poorly researched, simply got wrong, or just plain made up.

Well known for co-founding the GXW (turned GWE) in 1997 for years, Chad was also a member of a number of leagues. More importantly, he was a friend to many, known for his easy-going attitude, his sense of humor, and his willingness to listen.

Press Conference Scheduled``xChad``xA major press conference has been scheduled by CSWA officials for 10:00 pm EDT Sunday evening. Rumors have swirled about the CSWA's apparent legal woes that have completely stopped production and tours for the past two months.
The storied league has been famous for its share of legal woes over its sixteen-year history, most notably when CSWA owner Chad Merritt was accused of murdering Lyle Tallman, aka the Red Midget, in 1997. He later pled no-contest to a lesser charge when no body could be found, apparently because Tallman wasn't dead at all. The conviction was later overturned.
Word on the street is that the CSWA has taken a major financial hit, especially after cancelling three months worth of tour stops and practically all future on-sale events. More importantly, the stock price of the public company has fallen dramatically since there has been no public word about what is behind the work stoppage.
Rumors are flying that the press conference will announce those reasons and address them in one of two ways: either with a plan to move forward, or in the final closing of the Greensboro, NC based league.
The CSWA is owned by CS Enterprises, also based in Greensboro, NC.``xEpAFlElEppAVjvLSOu``x1093821700``xoldnews``x11691091823717``xRudy Seitzer``xhttp://cswawrestling.com``xA major press conference has been scheduled by CSWA officials for 10:00 pm EDT Sunday evening.

[01] Karina Wolfenden (PRIME) 
[01] Rook Black (tSC) 
Despite her immense popularity with the RPW fans, it appears that Karina Wolfenden has found herself in the management's bad books. Since finding out that her successful shot for the RPW Championship at The Kannon Effect was rigged to rile Magnum Wolf, the young superstar has had few good things to say about the RUSH Pro figurehead, and her approach to the federation is drawing her even more heat.
After The Kannon Effect, there was a noticeable change in Karina. During her war with Magnum Wolf, she was focussed for every minute of every show, always waiting to react to his next move. Now, it appears that with the weight off her shoulders, she refuses to be held down by rules and etiquette.``x53481091834249``x``xhttp://cswawrestling.com``xAre you ready to become wrestling’s next great superstar?<br /><br />It’s the question that one CSWA main eventer asked himself over a decade ago. And the answer? Troy Windham is at the pinnacle, as the Unified World Heavyweight Champion.``x``xprotege.gif``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x12575``xvbulletin``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x``x
Your Dose for the Week of November 28``xChad``xSee! I’ve gone from “monthly” doses to bi-weekly. This can only mean good things. In this edition: some hype near and dear to my heart, a look at LoC, a couple of ways to <i>constructively</i> hype your favorite league, and a call for World Champions everywhere.<br /><br /><b><u>The Hype: <font color=”red”>CRUISE of DECEPTION</font></b></u><br /><br />There are those (namely Steve) who think I should once again run down the litany of offenses – where major wrestling companies have stolen from the CSWA (among others). He believes the recent Dhavari ref angle is a mite too close to the old Manuel Juarez “NO ENGLISH” ref angle in the CSWA. He also thinks the “bleeping” of the “You Suck” chants for Angle is a ripoff of the CSWA’s Thomas declaring Chad Merritt’s name censored on all CSWA shows.<br /> <br />Myself, I believe that these recent coincidences are just that, coincidental. So instead, I’d rather take the time to turn the tables. With the CSWA’s latest “hiatus” coming to an end, why not start hyping what has the potential to be one of the most drastic comedy angles in the CSWA since the “Disney Days” era where Sammy Benson got in a drunken fight with the animatronic bears in DisneyWorld’s “Country Bear Jamboree”, and then got knocked off Splash Mountain by the Mighty Morphin Power Midgets.<br /><br />Yes, you heard that correctly.<br /><br />So where do you go when you’ve run all the angles you can think of? When you’ve recycled history until the Windham saga is all but unintelligible? Where do you find inspiration? From decades-old “Days of Our Lives” soap opera angles, of course.<br /><br />Again, you heard me correctly.<br /><br />And so, the CSWA’s movie/television parodies go to another level. They used to be just for pre-PPV introductions, or for comedy blowoffs to ownership angles. But now, a whole series of cards dedicated to what may truly be one of the most shocking, heart-wrenching stories in the history of Daytime – the CRUISE of DECEPTION.<br /><br />How can you ignore this tagline? <I>“A network television premiere mini-series. A voyage of love and revenge, that you'll never forget. Journey into the unknown...){kind=link}
