Well fans, welcome to the 2005 Edition of the WWF Newsletter. We apologize for not having something out earlier but most of the staff took time off during the holidays and we are now getting down to the nitty gritty. In this issue, we will go over the show where the 2004 champions handed their titles over as well as the new lineups for the WWF and WCW. These notes took place at the first televised event of 2005.
Our first piece of important news is the return to the ring by none other than Ric Flair. Flair decided that what was going on with Evolution needed his return back to the ring. This announcement from Flair was welcomed by all of Evolution with the exception of one man.......Shawn Michaels. Michaels confronted Flair and asked how this affected his standing in the group. Flair told him that even though he was still "The Man", Orton was the leader of the group, seconded by Batista and then Flair. Michaels would be a contributing member of the group but would in no way be the center of attention. Flair, himself, was inclined to let Orton and Batista run the group. Michaels didn't take too well to this news and started getting into Flair's face. Orton and Batista then stepped up but surprisingly backed Michaels, and not Flair. Flair asked what was going on and Michaels stated that he doesn't take a back seat to anyone. Michaels then motioned to Batista and Orton who then got in Flair's face. Michaels then told them to take Flair out since he wasn't needed anymore. Orton and Batista then turned and attacked Michaels beating him to the ground. Flair stood laughing and clapping. After about a minute, Flair asked them to stop. Orton then said that Flair wasn't the leader of the group but he sure as hell is the heart of the group. Shawn was then told to pack his bags because his presence was no longer needed. Orton and Batista started to walk out and Flair kicked Michaels twice for good measure before following his teammates. Shawn was left on the floor busted up and moaning. A backstage worker heard this and called for an ambulance for Shawn.
WWF GM Mick Foley and WCW GM's Jeff Meyers and Terry Funk all walked out towards the ring. They then called down all the Champions. First to come down was the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit followed by WWF World Heavyweight Champ RVD. Next was the WWF IC Champ Bubba Ray Dudley, WWF Hardcore Champion William Regal and WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Classy Travis Massie. They were then followed out by the WCW Champs: WCW TV champ Super Warrior; WCW US Champ the Undertaker; WCW Cruiserweight Champion Negronomicon and WCW World Champion Eddie Guerrerro. Each man took turns addressing the crowd and soaking in the applause. Chris Benoit then left since his title can't change hands unless it is in a match. Every man then turned in his title with the exception of one.....the Super Warrior. The SW felt that since he had never been defeated, that he should have no reason to hand over his title. Funk explained to him that this was done every year so that everyone can start off with a clean slate. SW disagreed and and went eye to eye with GM Funk. By this time, everyone else had left the ring and GM's Foley and Meyers took the titles back to the locker room. Funk then stated that if SW wanted to lose his title so badly, he would have a match....right here and now. The first person out of the back, regardless of the federation they were in, would get a shot. Then, out of nowhere, a fan ran in from the audience and attacked the Super Warrior. We have never seen this person before. Super Warrior dominated the match until the challenger hit what looked like a modified Rock Bottom. The challenger started taking back to the champion until SW stopped that momentum by hitting a Super Powerslam. The lights then started to flicker a bit but then were ok. Super Warrior then took the challenger out of the ring and into the audience. He then proceeded to pound him up and down the stairs. The ref ran after them begging for them to get back in the ring. He found the challengers seat and proceeded to handcuff him to the seat. SW and the ref then went back to the ring and started the 10 count. The challenger, successfully handcuffed to his seat was not able to get himself loose before the ref counted to 10. Super Warrior was then declared the winner and then immediately, the lights went out for about 5 seconds and when they came back on, only the ref and the WCW TV title were left in the ring. There was a smoky cloud in the ring where SW previously stood. Terry Funk walked back down to ringside and looked for the SW. He was no where to be found. Funk then declared the title officially vacant and left the ring with the title. In the stands, security got the challenger un-cuffed and then was asked to accompany them backstage.
In the back, the challenger was then greeted by Mick Foley, Terry Funk and Jeff Meyers. Foley stated that he showed a lot of guts out there and offered the challenger the opportunity to wrestle for the WWF/WCW organization. The challenger agreed. They asked him his name and he said that his name is Jay Mack and he is known as "The Texas Hammer". Jay Mack was then signed to a contract and was told that we would be part of the draft. At this time, a few other wrestlers walked in; also having been signed to contracts. They were Tyson Tomko, Gene Sniksky and Muhammad Hassan. All three were welcomed into the organization and were also told that they too, would be part of the upcoming draft.
Suddenly, a voice sounded over the loudspeakers: "The Super Warrior acted with cowardice during the invasion of the N.W.O. Where others stepped up, he backed down. When the going got rough, this weakling ran away. Fleeing the scene only proves that he is not worthy. To someone bearing the monikers Super or Warrior, this reaction was totally unacceptable. This so-called Super Warrior is with me but don't expect to see him in the ring again for some time. It is TIME that will tell if he will EVER return. I will see to it that respect and honor will be restored. Until his return, I will send video clips of his hopeful transformation but do not look for his return as if here is no change, he will never REST IN PEACE. Once he is able to find peace within himself, he will then be allowed to join mankind once again. For only a true Warrior can handle what life will bring. So sayth I......so sayth... THE Ultimate Warrior." The Omega Tron then lit up with a sillouette of the Ultimate Warrior with lightning in the background. Spooky.
The Draft began with Mick Foley and The Original Big Daddy Donnie B (DB is only taking part in the assistance of the draft; all other GM duties continue to fall on Mick) being joined by Jeff Meyers and Terry Funk in the ring. At this time, all the wrestlers were asked to come down and stand around ringside. Once the wrestlers came down, each set of GM's would pick a name and that person would be drafted by that particular organization. A coin was tossed and WCW won the toss. Due to some of the trades that happened last year, those wrestlers will be automatically drafted without a pick being done. All of the wrestlers names are added to a rotating drum and will be picked at random. Here are how the picks went:
WCW WWF
Big Show Kurt Angle (Bye)
HHH Shawn Michaels (Bye)
Kane Bradshaw
Booker T Randy Orton
Eddie Guerrerro Rock
Chris Jericho The Undertaker
John Cena Chris Benoit
RVD Shelton Benjamin
Christian Batista
Bubba Ray Dudley Ric Flair
Devon Dudley Edge
Rey Mysterio Jr(Bye) Kenzo Suzuki
Charlie Haas Hardcore Holly
Rico Spike Dudley
Hurricane Classy Travis Massie
Tajiri Steven Richards
Tyson Tomko William Regal
Chavo Guerrerro MW3
Val Venis Rhyno
Billy Kidman Gene Snitsky
Jay "Texas Hammer" Mack Negronomicon
Muhammed Hassan Big Daddy Donnie B
Rosey Matt Hardy
The only one not drafted was the Super Warrior due to the fact that he is MIA. When and if he returns, we will determine where he will go.
That is all for now. Our next newsletter will have the updates on the tournaments and have our new champions. Until then, Good Night.
Clarkus Kentus (after being terrorized from interviewing the N.W.O.), Clarkus has accepted the position as the new writer of this newsletter.)
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 1.2
Hello fans, welcome to our second installment of the WWF Newsletter for the year 2005. In this issue, a tournament was held to determine the World and Intercontinental Champions and a battle royal was held to determine the Cruiserweight and TV champions. Mick Foley made his way down to the ring accompanied by two people carrying a bingo ball mixer. Mick said that all the names were added to the mixer and the way this would work is that a wrester, predetermined, would come down first and pick his opponent. This will determine who will wrestle who. The first name is announced at it is none other than Shawn Michaels. Michaels comes down and makes his pick. He picks Ric Flair. Flair is shown in the back with no care in the world. Orton and Batista ask him if he was ok with it and he said “Woooo. I’ve taken out bigger and better men. This one will be no problem.” Orton and Batista took a step back and looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Flair went down to the ring to pick the next person on the list. When he got down there, he pulled the name of Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin came down and pulled Chris Benoit. Benoit made his way down and pulled the name of Bradshaw who in turn pulled the Undertaker. ‘Taker got to the ring and pulled Randy Orton. Orton, cocky as ever, took his turn and his stomach just about hit the floor when Batista was named as his opponent. This left Kurt Angle and Edge as the last two men. The tournament looks like this:
Michaels vs. Flair
Benjamin vs. Benoit
Bradshaw vs. Undertaker
Randy Orton vs. Batista
Kurt Angle vs. Edge
The winner of the Kurt Angle/Edge match would draw a second round bye. The winner of the Michaels/Flair and Benoit/Benjamin bouts would draw a bye in the third round. The ring was cleared and our first match is ready to begin.
Round 1 / Match 1: Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair. Due to the fact that Shawn was kicked out of Evolution didn’t sit well with him. Shawn basically told Flair that “You will not hold the World Title again; not while I’m around.” The bell rang and Flair immediately started off with a chop block to Shawn’s leg. Flair came back and hit the chop block a second time. He pushed Shawn to the corner and when he charged Shawn, Shawn hit the Sweet Chin Music and missed the 3 count by millimeters. Shawn then took over turning the tide on Flair. After hitting his superkick for the second time, and locking on an armbar, he attempted the pin twice but was only able to get a two count. The one thing Shawn never learned was that to never charge a cornered animal as Flair was waiting for him and nailed him between the eyes with a foreign object. After only getting a two count on Shawn, Flair locked on the Figure 4. Shawn was able to reach the ropes and the hold was broken but the damage had been done. Flair hit another chopblock and then a massive chop to the chest of Michaels and rolled him up (and using the ropes) got the 3 count. Ric Flair advances. After the match, Flair stomped on Michaels leg a couple of times and then left the ring. Michaels had to be helped out of the ring.
Round 1 / Match 2: Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Benoit. Both men shook hands and as soon as the bell rang, they locked up but neither could get the advantage. They locked up again and Benjamin began outwrestling the Unified Heavyweight Champion. Benoit managed to keep up with Shelton but was definitely on the defensive. Things turned around after Benoit nailed the rolling german suplexes. He then went to the top rope and delivered the flying headbutt for a two count. Benjamin’s inexperience began to show through as the champ took the fight to his challenger. Benoit managed to hit the rolling germans again and rolled up Shelton and got the 1-2-3. Benoit helped Shelton to his feet and they left the ring. Benoit advances.
Round 1 / Match 3: Bradshaw vs. Undertaker. Undertaker has finally returned home to the WWF and he wasn’t about to let this upstart move into his territory so they immediately began brawling even before the bell rang. Undertaker controlled the first half of the match keeping Bradshaw on the defensive with moves such as the Tombstone Piledriver and the Last Ride. Bradshaw wouldn’t give up though. Bradshaw got tossed out of the ring but as soon as he got back in, he hit the Clothesline from Hell but by the time he made it over to cover the Undertaker, he barely got a 1 count. Taker then hit numerous chokeslams but Bradshaw countered with the big foot to face. Bradshaw started making his comeback and even got in a few pin attempts but nothing would keep the dead man down. Just at the 18 minute mark, Bradshaw dropped a devastating elbow and got up to gloat……but so did the Undertaker. He sat right up. Bradshaw just about messed his pants. Undertaker ducked a Clothesline from Hell, delivered a swift kick to the gut of Bradshaw and then hit the Last Ride. He made the cover and had no problem getting the pin. Undertaker advances.
Round 1 / Match 4: Randy Orton vs. Batista. Both men got into the ring and after discussing it, decided to both walk out of the ring and get counted out. The bell rang and they both got out and starting walking to the back. Mick suddenly appeared on the Omegatron and told them that if they didn’t wrestle, they would be eliminated from any future title shots. Batista then shoved Orton forward and hightailed it back to the ring. Orton also made it back just at the 10 count. A bit of jaw jacking started but then they locked up and the match began. They battled it out; Batista with his strength and Orton with his wrestling ability and they remained even for the majority of the match. Anytime Orton went for the RKO, Batista managed to nullify it. At one point, Randy hit the RKO but didn’t have enough to go for a pin. By the time he got back up, Batista nailed him with the Batista Bomb but he didn’t have enough left to make the cover himself. They battled it out a few minutes more until Batista launched Orton over the top rope. He then turned to pose for the fans. Orton, fortunately, landed on the ring apron, jumped back in the ring and caught Batista with the RKO. Randy covered him and got the clean 1-2-3 pin right in the center of the ring. Randy helped Dave to his feet and they shook hands. Both left the ring at the same time.
Round 1 / Match 5: Kurt Angle vs. Edge. It what was surprisingly the shortest match so far, Angle and Edge locked up; Edge hitting a clothesline and Angle a bearhug. Angle then tossed Edge from the ring and Edge barely makes it back in before the 10 count. Edge then clotheslines Angle from the ring who almost gets counted out himself. Angle is tossed into the corner and Edge charges but Angle moves and Edge hits the ringpost. Angle moves in but Edge flies out of the corner to hit a clothesline on Angle. After hitting the bad shoulder of Edge, Angle hits a huge belly to belly suplex. Edge is dazed but as he makes it to his feet, Angle hits another belly to belly suplex and it looks like Edge’s head bounces off the mat. Angle rolls Edge up and gets the pin. Angle leaves the ring and Edge has to be helped out. Angle advances and gets the bye.
Round 2 / Match 1: Ric Flair vs. Chris Benoit. Flair and Benoit went right at it but Benoit took the match to Flair early stunning him with rolling german suplexes and chops to the chest. Flair managed to lock on the figure 4 early but Benoit got ahold of the ropes and was able to break the hold before any damage could be done. Batista then made his way down to ringside to assist Flair. Before he could get to the ring, Benoit made it to the top turnbuckle and hit the flying headbutt. He made it to the ring just in time to pull Benoit off. The ref turned to see Batista and told him not to interfere. Flair then hit a low blow and a chop block to Benoit’s knee trying to ground him. Benoit reverse a whip into the corner and sent Flair over the top rope to the floor below. Batista went over to him and basically shoved Flair back in before the 10 count. The ref saw this and told Batista to leave the ring. The ref then got out of the ring and ordered Batista to the back. At this time, Shawn Michaels ran in from the crowd, jumped into the ring, sized Flair up and nailed the Sweet Chin Music. He got out of the ring and ran back through the crowd. Benoit got back up and went to the top rope again and nailed the flying headbutt for the 1-2-3. Benoit advances and receives a bye for the following round.
Round 2 / Match 2: Undertaker vs. Randy Orton. The youngster immediately took the battle to the dead man but Taker was more than ready. Orton tossed Undertaker from the ring but Taker landed on the mat and immediately got back in, kicked Orton in the gut and hit the Last Ride. Taker made a sloppy cover expecting a pin but Randy kicked out at 2. Taker than got a bit ticked off and started pounding on Orton but Randy wouldn’t stay down. Finally, at the 8 minute mark, he tossed Randy out of the ring and proceeded to beat him from pillar to post. Randy got introduced to 3 of the ring posts and then to the steps. Randy fell to the ground and Undertaker rolled back in the ring just as the 10 count was reached. Orton is counted out and Undertaker advances.
Angle gets his bye.
We then went to a 15 minute break to give Undertaker a chance to catch his breath.
Round 3 / Match 1: Chris Benoit gets the bye and advances to the final match.
Round 3 / Match 2: The Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle. After a brief rest for the Undertaker, this match began. Angle apparently had too much rest as Undertaker started off strong and kept going strong. He hit a Last Ride towards the beginning of the match and almost got a 3 count except Angle got his foot on the rope. Angle began to battle back hitting 3 consecutive Belly to Belly Suplexes. Undertaker recovered enough to toss Angle out of the ring. Angle made it back it and hit Undertaker with a low blow. He then set the dead man up for a superplex but didn’t have enough to make the pin. Undertaker then sat right up and hit Angle with a chokeslam. He then signaled for the Last Ride. He hit it and made the cover; hooking Angle’s leg. The ref made the count 1…2…3. Undertaker wins the match and will go on to meet Chris Benoit in the final match. This final match will determine who wins the Intercontinental Title and who will become the World Heavyweight Champion.
Round 4 / Final Match: Chris Benoit vs. the Undertaker. This match was nothing short of spectacular….a Match of the Year candidate. Neither man pulled any punches but an exhausted Undertaker still managed to control the majority of the match. Undertaker did almost get counted out at the three minute mark but quick intervention from Mick Foley got the match restarted and they were able to continue. Undertaker immediately hit a Tombstone piledriver for a 2 99/100 count. Taker then took full control dominating Benoit. Chris tried several times to retake the lead but was unsuccessful. About halfway through the match, Undertaker tossed Benoit to the floor and he looked hurt. The ref counted to 10 but did not count Chris out. Undertaker went outside the ring and tossed Benoit back in. Undertaker hit a tombstone piledriver followed by a Last Ride but was unable to pin Benoit. Undertaker set Benoit up again for another Last Ride and Benoit turned it into a Crippler Crossface. Undertaker was looking like he was in pain but he refused to give up. After unsuccessfully trying to get the Undertaker to tap, Benoit went to the top of the turnbuckle and nailed a beautiful flying headbutt. Benoit crawled back over the Undertaker but only got a two count. Benoit went back up and hit a second flying headbutt and rolled the Undertaker up and the ref then counted 1…..2…..3. Chris Benoit is the winner of the tournament and the NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Undertaker now becomes the Intercontinental Champion. Undertaker shook Benoit’s hand congratulating him on his win. He took a hold of the mic and let Chris and the audience know that he will be gunning for that title. Benoit said he looked forward to their next encounter.
Next, we had the battle royal to determine the Hardcore TV and Light Heavyweight Championships. Chris Benoit and Undertaker opted out of the battle royal but everyone else was in. In order of elimination:
Donnie B
Shawn Michaels
Batista (with assistance from Michaels)
Kenzo Suzuki
Travis Massie
Ric Flair
MW3
Rhyno
Gene Snitsky
Steven Richards
Hardcore Holly
Randy Orton
Shelton Benjamin
Matt Hardy
Spike Dudley
Edge
Bradshaw
Negronomicon – and NEW Light Heavyweight Champion
William Regal (tapped out)
Kurt Angle – and NEW Hardcore TV Champion.
That is all we have for now. Thanks for reading.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 2.1
Hello fans and welcome to the next installment of the WWF Newsletter. We sincerely apologize for the lack of news being reported but most of WCW’s crew was out with the flu and we just recently crowned WCW’s champions. We had waited on GM’s Meyers and Funk to get their act together but since nothing had been done, it was decided for them to hold a battle royal to determine the four new champions. One thing to note though, during the individual battles, Rico had been picked to go up against HHH. When HHH heard who he was fighting, he started to laugh hysterically. Rico got fed up and nailed HHH with a styling superkick knocking HHH’s block off. Rico then proceeded to toss HHH from the ring. Hunter was a bit embarrassed so he quickly left the ring. Another thing to note was that this battle royal is the first ever appearance of “the Masterpiece” Chris Masters. Masters held his own in the ring and made it to the final four along with the Big Show, Muhammad Hassan, and Rico. Lots were drawn and the last two battles came down to Masters vs. Rico and Hassan vs. the Big Show. The Masters/Rico fight didn’t move as swiftly as we had hoped but when the bell finally rang, Rico was declared the winner and the new WCW TV Champion while Chris Masters was awarded the Cruiserweight Title. The highlight of the evening was the war between the Big Show and Muhammad Hassan. Hassan matched Big Show move for move and never let the big man get too far ahead on points. Davari even got involved by handing Hassan a foreign object and Hassan definitely used it to his advantage. Hassan was getting ready to lock on the S.T.O. but Show powered out of it and nailed a chokeslam. The ref made the count 1…2…and Hassan KICKED OUT. Show couldn’t believe it. He started to become irate and picked Hassan up again and nailed another chokeslam. The ref made the count again..1…2….and another KICK OUT. He couldn’t believe it. Hassan then threw Show to the outside while he tried to regain his composure. He began battling back preventing any future pin attempts. Davari tried to get involved again but Big Show began chasing him around the ring. Davari then jumped over the ringside rail and kept on running. Show then returned to the ring and resumed beating the challenger down. Big Show then hit the Cutting Edge and went for a pin. Hassan immediately put his foot on the rope but the ref wasn’t watching and counted the 1-2-3. The ref then looked over just after Hassan removed his foot from the ropes. Big Show was awarded the WCW Heavyweight Championship while Hassan becomes the US Champion. Immediately after the match, Hassan and Davari went to the 2 GM’s to plead their case. Hassan’s leg was clearly on the rope and the ref (one of those biased whiteys) ignored it to give the top championship to “that filthy slob”. Meyers and Funk both stated that the ref needs to be able to see what is going on and if he misses it, so sorry. Hassan said that this wasn’t over – not by a long shot. Both men then stormed out of the building.
The following day, WCW (as an institution) was presented with a law suit being filed by current US Champion Muhammad Hassan and Daviri for wrongful treatment. Mr. Meyers then went to speak with the Big Show and asked for Show to offer a rematch to Hassan to clear this mess up. Show refused stating that he already beat him and doesn’t have anything to prove. After Mr. Meyers left Show’s dressing room, he was suddenly blindsided by Hassan and Daviri. Hassan locked on the S.T.O. and wouldn’t let up. Daviri kept everyone else away by waving a lit torch and holding a can of gasoline. Mr. Meyers finally passed out and Hassan let go. Daviri and Hassan left stating that this is what is in store for anyone who doesn’t fix the World title picture soon.
In WWF news, we received a video tape from the Ultimate Warrior. On the tape, we see Super Warrior (he was stripped of the name and most of his clothes, except for his pants and his mask) being physically tortured by UW. In the middle of the screams coming from “the man formally known as Super Warrior”, we hear UW in the background reading passages from “His Good Book”. Ultimate Warrior then stated that very little progress has been made and to not expect to see MFKASW around the wrestling ring again.
Another newcomer to WCW Jay “Texas Hammer” Mack has issued a challenge to both Rico and Chris Masters. As of this writing, neither champion has responded. We expect to hear something soon.
The Big Show began feeling bad about what had happened to Mr. Meyers that he accepted a match between himself and Hassan for the WCW Heavyweight Championship – but it will only happen at the PPV.
We expect more matches to be announced at March’s PPV – Wrestlemania. We hope to be sending updates more frequently in the next few weeks.
Thanks for reading.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 3.1
Hello fans. A lot of stuff has been brewing since our last newsletter and we wanted to see some things settled before reporting on them. US Champion Muhammed Hassan has been terrorizing WCW Champ The Big Show at the last few house shows. He has been trying to goad the champion into putting the title on the line before the PPV but Show wouldn't budge. The most important bit of information is the fact that the WCW US Heavyweight Champion Muhammed Hassan and Daivari had actually been suspended for their attack on WCW co-GM Jeff Meyers. The attack had been totally uncalled for and the other GM Terry Funk stepped up and suspended Hassan and Daivari but is NOT stripping Hassan of the US title. The actual match between Hassan and the Big Show will still take place at Wrestlemania next week but has been upgraded to a Steel Cage Match. This has been done for two reasons - One is to obviously keep Daivari from interferring and the other is to keep both men in the ring and settle this once and for all. Big Show is no stranger to steel cages and feels he will put Hassan in his place with little to no effort.
In our last newsletter, we reported that WCW newcomer Jay "The Texas Hammer" Mack had issued challenges to both Rico and Chris Masters. Both champions for whatever reason, refused to answer the challenge. A week ago at a house show, Mack attacked Rico by ramming his head into the steel post busting the champ open pretty bad. Rico has been on the sidelines ever since. Rico did issue a statement that he would agree to a match at the PPV to defend his title against Jay Mack. Mack, satisfied, resumed his cowardly ways by then also attacking Chris Masters. Masters was caught totally unprepared and became another victim for "The Texas Hammer". Mack also put Masters out of action for a few weeks. About the same time that Rico's announcement was made, Masters agreed to defend his title also against Mack. Mack accepted. Jay Mack now will wrestle twice at the biggest PPV of the Year - Wrestlemania. Mack stated that he had a surprise in for both men and that they now will have to wait till the PPV before he reveals what the surprise will be. This reporter's guess is that it will probably be a manager but we too have to wait and see what it will be.
The MFKASW (man formerally known as Super Warrior) was still in the clutches of the evil Ultimate Warrior. The latest tape the WWF received now presented MFKASW still being tortured but was no longer screaming. UW was still laying on the torture but MFKASW refused to scream out anymore. This forced UW to increase the torture methods. We see UW then roll out a TV and VCR. UW explains that if conventional torture methods won't work, then he has to break out the "big guns." As he turns the TV and VCR on, UW explains that this is a compilation of some of the worst performers from the world of wrestling. MFKASW would have to sit through hours of matches from the likes of Bastion Booger, The Mulkey Brothers (but did not include their first ever win), Big Josh and Skinner. As the Ultimate Warrior left the room, we hear MFKASW resume his screaming. My God, hasn't this poor man been through enough already?!?!? Ultimate Warrior explained that progress was indeed being made but MFKASW was not ready for a return to the ring. He said that if MFKASW is able to continue at the pace he has been, it is possible for MFKASW to return in the next few months.
With the return to the ring by the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Evolution was definitely a lock in for a match at the PPV. Flair knows that they will be meeting MW3, Donnie B, Classy Massie (Negronomicon will be defending the Light Heavyweight title) at the PPV so he announced that the match is now official. MW3 was quick to add that they had a surprise for Evolution. He feels the announcement will be so great that Evolution won't recover from it. I guess this is another one we have to wait for.
The WWF held some qualifying matches to meet for a chance to wrestle at the PPV. Here is what we have notes on:
A battle royal to determine who meets the Negronomicon at the ppv. This consisted of Steven Richards, Hardcore Holly, Kenzo Suzuki, Spike Dudley, William Regal and Matt Hardy. The match begain with Stevie Richards against Kenzo Suzuki. Suzuki is expected to be the favorite tonight but he bashes all of our hopes when he is eliminated. After Suzuki came Holly, Dudley, and Matt Hardy. This left William Regal against Richards. Right off the bat, Regal used the brass knuckles to take an early advantage. Richards tried to battle back but was no match for Regal. Regal then took out the 'nucks and nailed Richards between the eyes. Unfortunately for him, the ref caught it and immediately disqualified Regal. Stevie Richards goes on to meet Negronomicon at the PPV.
Gene Snitsky vs. Rhyno: This was just a match added to take up time of the card. It was determined that if one performer put on a spectacular show, they would be allowed to compete at the PPV. Fortunately, the match wasn't all that great. Snitsky won the match after leveling Rhyno with clubbing forearms to the face. When Snitsky was told that he would not be at the PPV, he grabbed a mic and told GM Mick Foley that if he wasn't given an opponent at the PPV then what would happen would "Not Be My Fault".
Bradshaw vs. Michaels to see who meets for the Intercontinental Championship. This was a well fought match worthy of PPV status. Bradshaw took every opportunity to ground Michaels and even started working on his leg early. About half way through the match, Bradshaw nailed Michaels with a chair (with distraction assistance from his cabinet) but Michaels kicked out of the pin attempt. Michaels was busted open. Bradshaw then nailed the Clothesline from Hell and went for the pin without hooking the leg. Michaels kicked out at the two count and this put JBL into a frenzy. He began pummeling Michaels again with Shawn getting in the occassional armbar. Exhausted from the loss of blood, Michaels went down again after another nasty chairshot from JBL. Bradshaw made sure to hook the leg this time and even put his foot on the bottom rope for leverage. Bradshaw got the 3 count and then continued to beat on a nearly unconscious Michaels until the ref told him that if he did not stop immediately, Shawn would be awarded the match and JBL would lose out on any future title shots. He stopped immediately and left the ring. A stretcher came out and took Shawn to the back. Bradshaw goes on to meet the Undertaker for the Intercontinental Championship.
Shelton Benjamin vs. Edge to see who meets Kurt Angle for the Hardcore TV Championship. Shelton controlled the match early after hitting two consecutive T-Bone Suplexes. Edge battled back by chothleslining Benjamin out of the ring 3x. Edge was putting on one of the best matches of his career before he started losing his temper. Edge nailed the Spear but was too close to the ropes and Shelton got his leg on the bottom rope before the 3 count could be made. Edge then hit high flying dropkicks followed by another spear and only another 2 count. Edge nailed a fabulous tornado DDT but only got another two count. Edge finally was able to hit another flying dropkick and get the win but he was so far gone (mentally) that he continued to beat on down on Benjamin. Mick Foley, seeing this from the back, came out immediately and told Edge that this was no longer acceptable and that he would be made an example of. Edge was hereby stripped of his title match against Angle at the PPV and awarded it to Shelton Benjamin. Edge, furious, went to the back looking for Mick but found a semi-conscious Shawn Michaels wandering around in a daze. Edge then speared Michaels and then said that if anyone else got in his way in this quest for his title shot, they would all receive the same treatment. When Michaels recovered enough, he asked Mick for a match against Edge at the PPV. It was granted.
And in the final match of the night, Chris Benoit defends the WWF World Heavyweight Championship vs. his number one contender the Intercontinental Champion The Undertaker. As expected, this match was nothing short of spectacular. Undertaker brought everything to this match and it showed. Undertaker managed to hit lots of chokeslams in the match. Benoit managed to counter with the Crippler Crossface but it wasn't enough to make the dead man tap. At this point, Bradshaw came out on stage but remained up there. This only seemed to fuel the Undertaker's fire. One sick looking clothesline later and the Undertaker was announced as the winner. The rematch began immediately and this is when Bradshaw came down to ringside. At about the 5 minute mark, Benoit nailed the rolling german suplexes and as he went for the pin, Bradshaw held the Undertaker's leg down giving the fall to Benoit. Bradshaw then took a seat at ringside as the steel cage was constructed. As soon as the last wall was fastened, Benoit and Undertaker went back at it putting on a 5 Star performance. Benoit managed to stay a half step ahead of his challenger and in the end, Benoit's hand was raised as the winner of the match and STILL the WWF World Heavyweight Champion. Benoit left the ring as soon as the cage was raised and Bradshaw entered. He nailed a Clothesline from Hell on the Undertaker and then got into the Undertaker's face yelling and screaming at him.
In the back, Chris Benoit approached Mick Foley and told him that if Snitsky needed an opponent for the PPV, he would volunteer his services but to keep it under wraps until then.
Right now, the WWF portion of the Wrestlemania card looks like this:
Evolution vs. MW3, Donnie B and Classy Travis Massie
Stevie Richards vs. Negronomicon for the Light Heavyweight Championship
Shawn Michaels vs. Edge (grudge match)
Kurt Angle vs. Shelton Benjamin for the Hardcore TV Championship
Undertaker vs. Bradshaw for the Intercontinental Championship
Chris Benoit will defend the WWF World Heavyweight Title as well as the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship
We expect the WCW results to be published soon.
Until Then.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 3.2 – the night before Wrestlemania
Hello fans, welcome back to the WWF newsletter. As we prepare for our biggest PPV of the year, Wrestlemania, we are pleased to finally announce the WCW portion of the show. As discussed in our previous installment, Big Show has agreed to defend the WCW Championship against his number one contender Muhammed Hassan. Davari will be allowed at ringside since he is a registered manager. He will need to be careful as a recovering WCW GM Jeff Meyers will be keeping an eye on this match.
The second match that has been added is WCW TV champ Rico defending the belt against a person making his first ever PPV appearance Jay “Texas Hammer” Mack. Mack gladly accepted the match when it was offered. We have heard good things about this guy and we hope it all pays off.
Chris “The Masterpiece” Masters will also be on the card defending his Cruiserweight title against the Hurricane. Hurricane has been getting mixed reactions from the fans. At house shows, Hurricane has been leaving the ring in the middle of a match. No idea what is going on in that young man’s head. We’ll see if he can get rid of the cobwebs before his match.
Muhammed Hassan has gone on record stating that since he will be involved in the match for the WCW Championship, his US title will have to wait to be defended.
As a recap of the WWF portion of the card, we will have:
Negronomicon (champ) vs. Stevie Richards for the Light Heavyweight Championship;
Kurt Angle (champ) vs. Shelton Benjamin for the Hardcore championship;
Undertaker (champ) vs. Bradshaw for the Intercontinental title;
Chris Benoit is expected to defend the WWF World Heavyweight title against an opponent to be named;
Edge will be taking on Shawn Michaels in a “Revenge will be had” match (This is Shawn’s requested match after getting speared by Edge”;
Well, that is about everything at this point. Next stop…Wrestlemania! We look forward to seeing you there.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 3.3 – Wrestlemania results!!!!!!!
Welcome everyone to our biggest PPV of the year...Wrestlemania! This show is expected to hold nothing back and bring you, the fans, a show to never forget. Let’s get started.
Match #1: WCW – Chris Masters vs. the Hurricane. Masters came down to the ring and as normal, posed for the ladies in the audience and said that normally, he would ask one of the “normals” to come out for the back for his challenge but since he is now a champion, he will be defending this title against a supposed “super hero” The Hurricane. Hurricane came down to the ring to a mixed reaction and went straight into the ring without conversing with the fans first. Masters went right after the Hurricane and dominated the match from the start. About 10 minutes into the match, Masters locked in the Master Lock but Hurricane wouldn’t quit. In a tremendous show of strength, Masters turned the Master Lock into a nasty looking slam and rolled up the challenger for the 1-2-3. Chris Masters retains the Cruiserweight title in his first PPV appearance. After the match, the Hurricane hollered at some fans and almost got into a fight with one of them. I guess he’s not really a favorite anymore. In fact, he removed his mask and threw it at a fan and stormed to the back.
Match #2: WWF – Negronomicon vs. Stevie Richards. This match didn’t go very long as right around the 5 minute mark, Richards tossed Negronomicon out of the ring. N bounced off the steel steps and appeared to be in a lot of pain. He did not make it back in the ring before the 10 count so the victory was awarded to Stevie Richards. Negronomicon still retained his title as the titles in the WWF do not change hands on a countout or DQ.
Match #3: WCW – Rico vs. the Texas Hammer Jay Mack for the WCW TV title. Rico was off his form as the Texas Hammer hit him with everything in his arsenal. Rico, sensing defeat kissed Mack and in a huge repulsed move, nailed Rico with a huge Texas Hammer to the face. Rico went down like a sack of bricks. Mack made the cover and was able to get the 3 count and is the NEW WCW TV Champion. He gave Rico a couple of kicks to the ribs for good measure before leaving the ring.
Match #4: WWF – Shawn Michaels vs. Edge in a special “Revenge” match. Michaels immediately went after Edge who wouldn’t get in the ring. Edge sidestepped a superkick from Michaels and speared Michaels right out of the ring. Edge then threw Shawn into the ringpost busting him open. As Shawn was struggling to get to his feet, Edge speared Shawn again against the ringside barrier. Shawn crumpled like yesterday’s newspaper. Edge managed to get in the ring just before the 10 count and was awarded the match via Countout. Edge left while the medics attended to a wounded Michaels on the outside of the ring.
Match 5: WWF – Kurt Angle vs. Shelton Benjamin for the Hardcore Championship. Shelton walked into this match as the learner and told Kurt that “The circle is now complete” and that he will show Kurt who the “Master” is. Unfortunately, Benjamin did nothing in this match except learn how to count ring lights as Kurt annihilated his challenger. After the match, Kurt said that as long as he is in possession of this title, it will be renamed the “North American Championship” and will be defended against wrestlers – not brawlers. Only those worthy can compete. I guess we will need to see who is actually “worthy”.
Match 6: WWF – Undertaker vs. Bradshaw for the Intercontinental Championship.
It didn’t take too long for Undertaker to dispatch the former Acolyte and retain his title. The end came early for JBL after getting a tombstone piledriver on the steps. Undertaker then threw Bradshaw back in the ring and finished him off with the Last Ride.
Match 7: WCW – Big Show vs. Muhammed Hassan for the WCW Championship. Hassan paraded around the ring while Show made his way to ringside. Hassan, with the help of Davari, really took the fight to the champ and after hitting Show six times with a foreign object, Hassan was able to make the cover and get the 1-2-3 and become the NEW WCW WORLD CHAMP. Show then fell out of the ring and Hassan said that now he holds two championships so he technically has no #1 contenders and he will be keeping it that way. At this time, Mr. Meyers comes out and interrupts Hassan. “You know champ, I said that you would end up regretting what you did to me a few weeks back. So now I get to repay the favor. Our next match will be for the WCW US title. Your opponent, lets see, will be none other than…….the BIG SHOW. Also, Hassan, Davari will be barred from ringside. Davari, get you scrawny achmed to the back. NOW! Otherwise your boy Hassan loses BOTH titles.” Davari left in a hurry at the behest of Hassan. “Also, this will be a no-DQ match and just to make sure everyone plays fair, a special guest enforcer will be assigned. In fact, let me go get him now.” At this, Mr. Meyers left the stage and a few seconds later, the special enforcer made his way to ringside. It was none other than MW3.
Match 8: WCW – Muhammed Hassan vs. the Big Show for the US Title. Big Show turned on the power like never before. I guess he didn’t know what to expect but now that Davari is gone, Show was going to open a can of whupass never seen since the days of Steve “Stone Cold” Austin. MW3 got in some cheap shots anytime Hassan made it to the outside of the ring. After getting rammed into the ringpost and slammed on the floor, Hassan got back in the ring and was met by a huge foot to face. Big Show followed it up with a massive chokeslam. Big Show defeated Hassan to win the US title. After the match, MW3 entered the ring and attacked Hassan and after beating him down, removed his mask to reveal himself as none other than Jeff Meyers. Meyers got in a few shots on the grounded Hassan before leaving the ring.
After the melee had ended and we made our way to the back, Jeff Meyers was actually seen in the back taking pictures with MW3 so maybe they’re not one in the same. I guess we’ll never know.
Match 9: Unified Championship Match – Chris Benoit vs. Muhammed Hassan. Hassan got on the mic and stated that since he was the WCW World Champ, he was calling out Chris Benoit and wanted his shot at the Unified Championship. Benoit agreed and as the match began, Davari made his way back down to ringside. Benoit held his own for the beginning of the match but after Davari handed another set of brass knuckles to Hassan, Hassan’s luck faltered. Benoit nailed a flying headbutt and locked on the crippler crossface but Hassan wouldn’t tap out. Benoit then hit 6 german suplexes and another flying headbutt. He then locked Hassan in the Sharpshooter but then flipped over and turned it into a pin attempt. Hassan had no where to go. The ref counted 1….2….3 and it was all over. Chris Benoit successfully defended and retained the Unified Heavyweight Championship.
Match 10 : Evolution (Flair, Orton and Batista) vs. the New Horsemen (Donnie B, Classy Travis Massie and MW3). MW3 started off against Orton and owned him all the way. Orton was on his way to becoming MW3’s bitch but MW3 wanted a break so he tagged in Donnie B. Orton then got his wind back and beat the begeezes out of Donnie B. Fortunately, Donnie B was finally able to tag in the Classy one. Massie took on a fresh Batista and Flair and held his own until Orton made it back in the ring which prompted MW3’s return inside the ring. Orton nailed a perfect RKO but did not follow it up. Instead he tagged in Batista who hit a Batista Bomb. He too did not go for a pin but opted for Flair to get the credit. MW3 recovered enough to hand Flair an ass whupping and tagged in Donnie B. Donnie B redeemed himself by beating the crap out of Flair. Massie was then tagged in and hit “The Eraser” on the 16 time champ. Donnie B rushed in to take out Batista and MW3 took out Orton and Massie made the cover and got the 1-2-3. The New Horsemen win this match. Flair, Orton and Batista left the ring while our Saviors played to the crowd.
After some discussion by Massie, DB and MW3, it was agreed that MW3 should ask for the WWF World Heavyweight title shot against Chris Benoit. He did and Benoit agreed.
Match 11: WWF – Chris Benoit vs. MW3 for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Chris Benoit’s defense of the WWF World title against MW3 ended in a DQ when Muhammed Hassan interfered and cost MW3 the match. Shortly afterwards, MW3 met up with Donnie B, Massie and the Negronomicon. MW3 felt it was time for him to return to WCW and take care of matters there. All 4 men shook hands and went their separate ways.
The final event of the evening saw the return of the SUPER WARRIOR. He looked ripped and cut and appeared to be afraid of nothing anymore. As he spoke to the crowd (who gave him the biggest pop of the evening), it was cut short when Gene Snitsky ran in from the crowd, grabbed a chair and nailed it into the throat of the Super Warrior. SW went down and Snitsky got the mic “I told you it wouldn’t be my fault if you did not get me an opponent so all this that has happened is all YOUR fault.” Snitsky turned around to see a giant cloud of smoke in the middle of the ring. As Gene got closer to see what was going on, a very pissed off Super Warrior tore into Snitsky. It was only a few seconds before Snitsky was gushing blood and after a minute of total terror and a mauling, Snitsky crawled out of the ring with so many cuts and bruises. It looked like he just came out of a nasty car wreck. Snitsky crawled to the back with a total look of fear in his eyes. Super Warrior stood in the ring and celebrated along with the fans. THIS is what we were hoping for and it appears that the UW’s teachings helped him out immensely. As the show ended, a camera panned the crowd and actually got a glimpse of the Ultimate Warrior as he was leaving the stands. He was seen applauding. He must have approved.
That is all for now. Thank you and Goodnight.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 4.1 – The Aftermath
Hello fans. Welcome to our next newsletter. We don't have a lot to report as both WCW and the WWF have cut back on their shows for some reason that has yet to be explained. The really only bit of news we have is that Matt Hardy has been released from his contract. Matt and the WWF have parted ways without incident so Hardy could always make a return. We also note that MW3 has been traded back to WCW. WCW has also just gotten another acquisition - Carlito Carribian Cool. Carlito, welcome to the WCW roster. Last note is that Matt Morgan has also made his way back into the fold. He will more than likely end up in the WWF to fill the vacated spot from Matt Hardy.
More news as it comes.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 4.2
Wrestling fans, I just wanted to let you know that both the WWF and WCW have issued a total news blackout. We don't know why but we are also not sure as to what is going on. We apologize for the lack of news and as soon as this reporter knows something, come Hell or High Water, I will bring it to you.

WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 5.1
Fans, the only thing I can report at this time is that Everything is hitting the fan here in WCW/WWF land. There appears to be some sort of power struggle with Vince McMahon and the WWF and (surprisingly) Eric Bischoff and WCW. I am really going out on a limb here to bring you this information as my future as well as the future of all of the wrestlers hangs in the balance.
More as I can get it.
WWF Newsletter Year 3 Vol 6.1
Ok, we have a bit of breathing room here. Basically, what has happened is this. Vince McMahon as bought out everything WWF and Eric Bischoff has bought out all things WCW. As of right now, the wrestlers are all up in limbo as they determine their fates. Vince and Eric are trying to convice everyone to renegotiate and resign under their new regimes. In a move that surprised everyone, all the (former) WWF and WCW wrestlers have banded together and are all part of a joint lawsuit against McMahon and Bischoff. Not surprising are the leaders of the rebellion - Donnie B and Jeff Meyers. There is all out confusion as there is absolutely no wrestling going on now. All the talent are either taking breaks to rest themselves or in litigation to fight of the tyrants. This will probably be my last newsletter for awile until everything has been sorted out. I hope it to be soon.

Wrestling Newsletter – NEW name – NEW home
Well fans, it is official. WCW and the WWF are NO MORE!!!!! That's right, you heard me. NO MORE. What does that mean for our talent you ask? Basically, Donnie B and Jeff Meyers banded together to create TWO NEW BRANDS. No more WWF; no more WCW. What we will now have is the creation of the HWF and CSWA organizations. HWF (Humble Wrestling Federation) will be run by Donnie B and CSWA (Colorado Springs Wrestling Alliance) will be run by Jeff Meyers. HWF will assume all the talent from the former WWF and CSWA will take over the talent from what was WCW. It has been determined that everyone that was a champion will be the same in the new organizations. This is how it will break down:
We will still have a Unified Champion (Chris Benoit). This title will be known going forward as the HWF Unified Heavyweight Championship. The belts in the respective groups will be like this:
HWF CSWA
World Heavyweight Champion (Chris Benoit) World Heavyweight Champion
Intercontinental Champion (Undertaker) (Muhammed Hassan)
North American TV Champion (Kurt Angle) US Champion (Big Show)
Light heavyweight champion (Negronomicon) TV Champ (The Texas Hammer)
Cruiserweight champ
(Chris Masters)
This is huge news as we no longer need to worry about Uncle Eric or Grandpa Vinny. From now on, we expect things to move smoothly. It might be rough for the first month or two but once we are able to get back into a rhythm, we hope to be reporting 2-4 times a month.
As the ink on the contracts dry, things will slowly get back to normal and will most like have news to report starting in July.
Thank you for being patient and we truly welcome you patronage.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 7.1
Hello fans and welcome to our FIRST newsletter under the new organizations of the HWF and CSWA! As we get ready to settle down into our new roles, we came across a bit of information we wanted to pass along. We received notice that some wrestlers were going to get shuffled around as well as the additions of two new faces to our organizations. First, in the HWF, we see Christian and Tajiri get traded over to help balance out the rosters. Also settling into his new home is the Super Warrior. The CSWA, on the other hand, gets MW3 back (fresh off his feud with Evolution), the debut of Carlito Caribbean Cool and coming out of retirement for a part time return to the ring, is none other than Sgt. Slaughter. Slaughter was working for Vince doing interviews of new wrestlers. One of the individuals he had interviewed was Carlito. CCC did not like some of the questions Sarge was asking so he cold-cocked him over the head with a coconut. Unbeknownst to Slaughter, Vinny Mac had already signed CCC to a contract. Slaughter wanted to teach CCC a lesson but Vince would not allow him to return to the ring. When WWF and WCW were dissolved, Slaughter signed up with CSWA after learning CCC would be there also. We look forward to seeing the Sarge in the ring in order to teach young upstarts the meaning of paying your dues.
Also in CSWA news, TV champ Jay Mack inquired as to why he never received his title shot at Chris Masters' Cruiserweight title at the PPV. Masters had agreed to give Mack the shot but when the final card for Wrestlemania was released, Mack wasn't getting the shot; it went to the Hurricane who, like a strong wind, just blew it. Masters is now denying he ever offered the shot. We will have to keep an eye on these two.
After making his grand return at Wrestlemania, the Super Warrior sent out this press release:
"When I first burst onto the scene, I tried to fill the shoes of a great man that I idolized when I was young. I tried my best to do so but as another wise being once said "Do or do not, there is no try." As much as I wanted to be like him, it was a truly daunting task and as the weeks went by, I became more and more unsure if I was truly worthy to be his successor. I came on strong in my previous promos but the truth is it was all an act because I was being eaten up by self doubt and the fear of failure. Little did I know that the man who I was so desperate to emulate was watching and he had seen right through me. He saw that I had the will to be a true Warrior but that is not a title that one can just take, it has to be earned. He had been searching for someone to carry on the Warrior's legacy of greatness so he took it upon himself to train me. I humbly accepted him as my master and the training began. The trials of the Warrior were truly intense, much harder than anything I could ever dream of but I would not quit. My mind, body and soul were tempered in the fires of determination and now I stand before you not as a man but as someone who is truly worthy of being called a Warrior. My fear and self doubt are gone thanks to The Ultimate Warrior's teachings and now I set forth on the path to fulfill my destiny with his blessing. Snitsky, you are just the first of many to fall along the way. Prepare yourselves normals! The Super Warrior's path to greatness runs right through you!"
There is little doubt that SW will be going back after a championship - this time in the HWF.
We also received some clarification as to the status of what was formerly known as the Hardcore TV title. After winning this title and wrestling in one hardcore match, Kurt Angle somehow was able to convince the board of directors of the high potential for injuries that occur in hardcore matches. He convinced them that a title such as this would need to be held by a wrestler; not a brawler or fighter. He proposed the changing of the name to the North American Championship. This will still be a TV title but will have special rules - similar to specialty matches. Any person can go after this title but if they in any way use a move that is not a "wrestling" moves (eye gouges, kicks to the groin, etc), they get no points. Each competitor will have points based on their moves. It will be interesting to see if this stays in place but I think that the term Hardcore is gone for good.
The last piece of information we got was a statement from MW3 regarding the issues between himself and Muhammed Hassan. MW3 has put out a challenge to Hassan for a shot at the World title but Hassan has yet to reply to the challenge other than stating that there are plenty of wrestlers who deserve a shot before MW3 and even they don't deserve a shot right now. We will want to keep an eye on this to see how it progresses.
The current line ups look like this:
HWF CSWA
Chris Benoit John Cena
Randy Orton Booker T
Kurt Angle Eddie Guerrerro
Undertaker HHH
Bradshaw Chris Jericho
Batista Kane
Shawn Michaels The Big Show
Shelton Benjamin Carlito
Ric Flair Muhammed Hassan
Christian Rob Van Dam
Edge Road Warrior Animal
Hulk Hogan Jay Mack
Stevie Richards MW3
Negronomicon Sgt. Slaughter
William Regal Chris Masters
Donnie B Rey Mysterio Jr
Tajiri Tyson Tomko
Paul London Chavo Guerrerro
Massive Wassie Val Venis
Super Warrior Rosey
Gene Snitsky Hurricane
Matt Hardy Juventud
Hardcore Holly Rico
This is all we have for now. More as it comes.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 7.2
Hello wrestling fans. Welcome back to the latest edition of our newsletter. Huge breaking news here with the releasing of quite a few wrestlers: From the HWF: Spike Dudley, Kenzo Suzuki, and Matt Morgan; From CSWA: Charlie Haas, Devon Dudley, Bubby Ray Dudley, and Billy Kidman. What appears to have happened that after a production meeting with all the current staff, the above listed wrestlers all went out together. Sometime during the span of the evening, Billy Kidman started to exchange words with Spike and Matt Morgan. Bubba and Devon came to Spike's aid while Kenzo and Charlie Haas sided with Kidman. A brawl ensued and what must have been a pretty nasty fight, the entire bar was destroyed and a few of the bar's patrons were given medical attention after chairs were flying all over the room. The owners of the bar called down Donnie B and Jeff Meyers and all of the wrestlers involved were removed by the police in handcuffs. After arriving at the police station, the participants in the brawl were informed that their paychecks would be used to repair the bar. Kenzo and Matt Morgan stepped forward saying that the only reason they were involved was to back up Billy Kidman. Kidman was then given his unconditional release. Since the 3 Dudleys caused most of the damage, they were also let go. Donnie B informed the rest of the bunch that this type of behavior would not be tolerated and said that due to guilt by association, they were also let go. Kenzo, Morgan and Haas were told that if things change in the future, it is possible they would be allowed to return. Only time will tell.
In CSWA news, Muhammad Hassan answered the challenge from MW3 with a resounding "No". He stated that no has-been wrestler from the bigoted former-WWF ever deserves to even stand in the same ring. He went on to say that maybe if he can prove himself in the new CSWA, then he will consider it but not before then. US Champ The Big Show has been challenged by newcomer Carlito so his plans for a rematch against the champ will have to wait. TV Champ Jay Mack was told that if he wants a shot at Chris Masters, he will also have to put his title on the line in a winner take all contest. Mack agreed and told Masters that he will be another victim who falls to the Texas Hammer.
In HWF news, Randy Orton and Kurt Angle were vying for a title match against the World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit. We also expect to see Bradshaw once again go after the Undertaker to try to steal away the Intercontinental Championship from the Dead Man. Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels also appeared to have words again so there might be another match in this pair's future. The Light Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon has been stirring up things again claiming that the padding around the ring was not set to his standards and that he (and his championship) needed to be better protected. After receiving the beat down of a lifetime, Gene Snitsky has asked for a no-holds barred match against the Super Warrior. Warrior agreed but now all we need is the contract signing. Don't expect to see both men signing at the same time as I believe enough blood will spill in their next meeting.
More news as we get it......
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 7.3
Well fans, it appears we have another wrestler is no longer employed by the HWF. It is none other than the man-beast Rhyno. Rhyno was all set to begin a program with Edge when he suffered an injury in a motorcycle accident. Rhyno approached management in the HWF and informed them that due to his injury, he felt he would not be an asset to the team but a hindrance. It was at this time that Rhyno resigned from the HWF. Donnie B informed him that he could be kept on retainer but Rhyno stated that he only wanted to work if he could be at his best and this was not that time. Rhyno and the HWF mutually decided to part ways and Rhyno was informed that when he is ready to return, he will be welcome back.
The departure of Rhyno is replaced by the addition of two new superstars - Juventud Guerrerra and Paul London. London will be added to the HWF staff and Juventud will appear in the CSWA. We are happy to have both superstars on the roster.
Simon Dean, Viscera, and Orlando Jordan are also being considered for wrestling contracts. We will need to keep an eye on these guys.
And the BIGGEST piece of news is the HWF's addition of none other than MATT HARDY! As you all know, Hardy had separated from the (then) WWF but has now returned in all his Mattitude. We saw Matt's return to the ring after attacking Edge backstage. For those who don't know, Lita cheated on him with Edge and now Edge will have to pay the piper (not the Hot Rod). As soon as Hardy was seen backstage, Donnie B beat Jeff Meyers to the punch and got the superstar signed. Hardy vs. Edge will headline the next show - bank on it!
More to come......
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 7.4
Hello fans, welcome back. Plenty of news to pass around.
HWF
As we mentioned in the last newsletter, Matt Hardy has returned to great fanfare. His target will be none other than Edge. Matt has attacked Edge multiple times over the last couple of weeks. He is still upset by the screwjob by Edge and Lita. Matt has sworn that nothing short of the intervention from GOD will stop him from exacting his revenge on Edge. Edge had mentioned in an interview that he was fed up with these attacks from Hardy and has agreed to a match. GM Donnie B has stated that the only way to truly capitalize on this feud is for a Hell in a Cell match between the two. Hardy has already agreed but Edge appears to be holding out. I guess we will know more soon.
Next was the battle for the #1 contender spot for the HWF World Heavyweight Championship between Kurt Angle and Randy Orton. Both men have verbally stated that they want Champion Chris Benoit in the ring. Prior to our next PPV The Great American Bash, Angle and Orton will have a Best out of 3 falls contest to see who goes on to meet Benoit for the title at the Bash. It has also been decided that the winner of this match will also win the North American TV Championship. Undertaker has been besieged by hit and run attacks by JBL. In one of the attacks, JBL had the Undertaker unconscious and was getting ready to hit a tombstone piledriver on the concrete floor when Batista ran down to make the save. Batista hit a huge powerbomb on JBL and gave him a few kicks for good measure. Batista then turned and attacked the prone Undertaker. He gave Undertaker a powerbomb of his own through the Spanish Announcers Table. He got on the mic and said that it was his turn to shine and he would be getting the title match at the Bash. JBL managed to get up and hit a Clothesline from Hell out of nowhere on Batista and Dave went down like a ton of bricks. It looks like Batista will meet JBL to see who goes on to wrestle the Undertaker at the Great American Bash.
The HWF light heavyweight champion Negronomicon has once again been complaining about the lack of padding around the ring. He told Donnie B that this needs to be addressed before someone (namely, him) gets hurt. Donnie B responded that if N was not happy with the way things were, he’d be happy to let someone else handle the burden of the championship. In fact, Donnie B hasn’t really been involved in a match recently so he decided that he would be the #1 contender. This announcement prompted Tajiri, Paul London, the Super Warrior, Stevie Richards, and Classy Travis Massie to come down to the ring. Each one of them stated that they all had something special that would make them a great champion. Donnie B then decided to hold a battle royal between Tajiri, Massie, London, SW and himself to see who survives and goes on to meet Negronomicon at the Bash.
We know that the Super Warrior and Gene Snitsky will have another match at the Bash so if SW wins the battle royal, he will have to wrestle twice in the same night. Hope he is up to the challenge.
Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels also have differences that will be settled soon. It’s not apparent at this time as to whether or not it will be at the Bash. We will have to wait and see.
Christian has been talking smack about Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin told him to put up or shut up. Christian acted like he was going to back down but then tossed Benjamin into some lockers. It looks like we might see a nice feud out of this.
We don’t really have much to report on with William Regal and Hardcore Holly. Regal has been overseas in Great Britain promoting future matches; Holly has been taking it easy as he is trying to get himself back into shape to go after the North American or Intercontinental Championships. We hope to see both men back in our ring soon.
CSWA
The first piece of news is that a new wrestler has been signed to the CSWA. He is none other than former tag-team champ great Road Warrior Animal. Animal is a great addition to the team and will bring a lot of experience to these youngsters. We are proud to have Animal in our division.
World Champion Muhammad Hassan has been spreading more anti-American sentiment so this once again prompted MW3 to confront him in the ring. Hassan told that “dirty American clown” to go find some circus to perform for. This prompted a reaction from MW3 in the form a a huge right fist. MW3 went to work on Hassan and then applied the Oriental Spike and put the World Champ to sleep. MW3 left the ring while the medical staff attended to Hassan. A minute or so later GM Jeff Meyers came out to the stage and told Hassan that he was the boss and HE will make a match to be held prior to the GAB: Hassan vs. MW3 in a non-title match. If MW3 wins the match, he will get the title match at the Bash. We wish MW3 luck.
Chris Masters declined to meet Jay Mack for the title at the PPV. He did state that he would agree to a TV televised match. Mack agreed so we have an upcoming match prior to the PPV.
The bulk of the wrestlers in the back all asked for matches at the Bash but unfortunately due to time constraints, the only way to do this would be to have multiple battle royals. All the wrestlers agreed so it appears that we will have battle royals for the US, TV and Cruiserweight titles. Depending on the outcome of the non-title match between Hassan and MW3 will determine if we have a battle royal for that title also.
In generic news, there will be 2 legends matches at the Great American Bash. The first will be a Hardcore match between Cactus Jack and Terry Funk and the second will be the CSWA’s own Sgt. Slaughter vs. the Iron Shiek (with Nikolai Volkoff in his corner).
More to come as it surfaces.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 8.1
Hello fans and welcome to our first August newsletter. We have lots to cover as we lead up to the PPV so here we go.
HWF
Our first piece of news is a continuation on what we spoke about last newsletter regarding the Negronomicon. N was getting irritated again with the lack of padding around the ring so he decided to go out and get himself a manager. That's right. The all-powerful, almighty Negronomicon can't cut it on his own so he sought out one of the most controversial managers in history...."Handsome G" Martinez. For those who don't know who he is, Handsome G is a character that has been managing overseas. Nothing has ever been proven but the reason Martinez is no longer there is for the fact that matches regarding his employees ended up being fixed. We don't know for sure but I am sure Donnie B will be keeping an eye out on him. In regards to the battle royal held to determine who Negronomicon will face at the PPV, here is how it all went down.
Classie Travis eliminated Tajiri; Paul London eliminated the Super Warrior after interference from Gene Snitsky; Massie eliminated Donnie B (whose leg is still sore from being broken numerous months ago; Paul London eliminated Stevie Richards and then Massie eliminated London to get the shot at Negronomicon's Light Heavyweight Title.
Kurt Angle and Randy Orton held their best of three falls to see who would meet Chris Benoit for the World Title. In the first fall, Angle got the win after Orton was counted out. Orton took the second fall after nailing a very impressive RKO. The third fall was held in a steel cage (the North American title is also on the line). In a very quick match (5 minutes), Kurt Angle gets the win and retains his title after hitting the Angle Slam.
Batista and JBL also had their grudge match which was changed at the last minute to a Texas Death Match. Batista held his own but in the end, he fell victim to a Clothesline from Hell and lost the match. JBL goes on to meet the Undertaker at the PPV.
The Matt Hardy/Edge saga is still continuing. Edge was still refusing to meet Hardy in a Hell in a Cell match. Finally, Hardy caught Edge unprepared in the back and after a minute of pummeling him, Hardy locked Edge into a Falcon Arrow and only let him out after Edge finally agreed to the stipulation of their match. Hardy was escorted out of the building while paramedics tended to Edge.
Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels also held their match. Flair easily dominated the challenger until a well placed superkick took the 16 time champ to the twilight zone and Michaels got his bit of revenge. Shawn then opened a challenge to anyone to meet him at the PPV. At that time, a veteran of the squared circle walked into the arena. It was none other than Hulk Hogan. Hogan, who had not wrestled in awhile, had just been signed to a short term contract with the HWF and agreed to the match with Michaels to be guaranteed a match at the PPV.
The match between Super Warrior and Gene Snitsky will be a Peer 6 brawl match. Expect lots of blood to flow.
Christian had requested a match against Shelton Benjamin for the opportunity to meet Kurt Angle for the North American title. Christian managed to outwrestle the former NCAA champ and after delivering a mule kick to the groin, he pinned Benjamin. Christian then asked for Angle to come down and since Angle already had a match scheduled for the PPV, he was asking for his title shot now. Angle came down to take on the challenger. Obviously Angle was not on his game and Christian got the first pin easily. The immediate rematch saw Angle turn up his game abit but after being on the receiving end of 3 one man concertos, he wasn't able to kick out of the final pin attempt and Christian gets the win and is the NEW North American Champion.
With Christian's win, that means another battle royal to see who would meet him. Here is how that went down:
Randy Orton eliminates Regal with the RKO; Shelton eliminates Hardcore Holly; Flair eliminates Tajiri (and brass knuckles); Donnie B eliminates Randy Orton after delivering 2 nasty chairshots; Batista eliminates Stevie Richards after being Batista Bombed out of the ring; Ric got a bit of revenge for Randy by eliminating Donnie B (again with brass knuckles); Flair eliminates Benjamin after Benjamin submitted to the figure 4; Batista eliminates Paul London and in the last match, Flair eliminates Batista after another Brass Knuckle shot. Ric Flair goes on to meet Christian at the PPV for the North American Title.
We just received word that there will be a special guest referee for all the matches (both HWF and CSWA). Who that will be will not be announced until the night of the PPV.
Our 1st of 2 legends matches will be Cactus Jack vs. Terry Funk.
CSWA
World Champion Muhammad Hassan said that the only way MW3 was going to get a title shot was that he had to defeat him in a non-title match. MW3 obliged and got a very quick pin over the champ. It looks like MW3 will get his shot at the PPV.
The 2nd of our legends matches will be the CSWA's own Sgt. Slaughter taking on arch nemesis Iron Shiek with Nikolai Volkoff in his corner.
CSWA is also proud to announce Viscera as their newest member of the team. Welcome aboard.
Carlito finally got in the ring with the Big Show but the Show was just too much to handle. Carlito did manage to hit the Big Show with a coconut but I think that only infuriated the champ even more. Carlito got in a shot to the groin but then was met with a Big Foot to Face from the Show. Show made the cover and got the win and saved his title. This led to a battle royal being held to determine who would get the shot at the PPV. Here is how that went down:
Big Vis eliminated Animal after Animal submitted to a bearhug (Animal hit a tremendous powerslam but it wasn't enough); Chris Jericho eliminated Kane after Kane submitted to the Walls of Jericho; Carlito eliminated Jericho; John Cena eliminated Eddie Guerrerro; Booker T eliminated Big Vis; Carlito eliminated Booker; HHH eliminated Carlito and then sent John Cena packing. HHH goes on to meet Big Show for the US Title.
Chris Masters finally gave in and gave Jay Mack his overdue title shot at the TV title. Mack was just a bit too excited as he fell victim to the Masterlock but refused to submit. Masters somehow turned it into a pin attempt and pinned his challenger. This opened up a battle royal for the TV title and this is how that went down:
Booker eliminated Mysterio; Jay Mack eliminated Hurricane; Viscera eliminated Eddie G; Rico eliminated Carlito; Cena eliminated Jericho; Jay Mack eliminated Rico; Booker eliminated Viscera (again); Chavo G. eliminated Tyson Tomko; RVD eliminated Val Venis with a Van Daminator; Mack eliminated Animal; Chavo eliminated RVD; Rosey eliminated Chavo; Cena eliminated Booker with a chain shot; Mack eliminated Kane after Kane passed out to a sleeper hold; Rosey eliminated Jay Mack and finally John Cena eliminated Rosey to go on to meet Chris Masters for the TV title.
The last title to be fought for is the Cruiserweight Championship held by "The Texas Hammer" Jay Mack. We only had 4 participants so one last person agreed to participate even though he is questionable in weight....Carlito Carribbean Cool. This is how the battle royal went: Rey Mysterio eliminated Hurricane then Chavo and then Rico leaving Carlito for last. Carlito was waiting for Mysterio as he attempted a 6-1-9 and hurled Mysterio to the floor soldifying his shot at the Cruiserweight title.
As a recap, here are the matches for the PPV Great American Bash:
CSWA
The Texas Hammer vs. Carlito for the Cruiserweight title;
Chris Masters vs. John Cena for the TV title;
Big Show vs. HHH for the US title;
Muhammad Hassan vs. MW3 for the World Heavyweight Title;
Sgt. Slaughter (and a surprise) vs. Iron Shiek w/ Volkoff in his corner;

Thanks for reading. Our next newsletter should be the results of the PPV.
Until then......
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 8.2 – The Great American Bash
Hello fans, as we prepare for the Great American Bash, we have just a few notes to pass along. There was plans to have a special guest referee participating in all the matches but at the last minute, it was changed to only two. The special ref was asked which two matches he wanted to ref and he chose the Hogan vs. Michaels match and (for whatever reason) the Sniksky/Super Warrior bout. One of the backstage reporters tried to get a statement from the guest ref but he refused but did state that after both matches, we would understand why these two matches were chosen.
The Great American Bash begins with a quick interview with CSWA World Champ Muhammad Hassan and Davari. Hassan basically said that MW3's last win was a fluke and he promised that there would be no way for MW3 to ever hold his title. Davari then screamed something at the interviewer and they both left.
The PPV begins with our first event:
CSWA Cruiserweight Champion Jay "The Texas Hammer" Mack taking on newcomer Carlito. Mack was on the receiving end of a coconut to the head smash early on but that did not deter the champ from kicking some ass of his own. Mack managed to hit the Texas Hammer twice but Carlito was next to the ropes both times and was able to get his foot on the rope both times. Carlito hit Mack with a swift kick to the groin but as he went for the pin, the bell rang signifying the end of the match. Jay Mack retains his title due to a time limit draw.
Cactus Jack and Terry Funk were next on the card. They both decided to have this event be a Lights Out match. Foley's heart must not have truly been in the match or Funk was really on top of his game. He beat the living snot out of Cactus and after delivering a vicious piledriver on the concrete, Funk rolled Jack back in the ring and was able to get the 3 count. Both men received a standing ovation, shook hands and then left the ring together.
CSWA TV champ Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters defended his TV title against John Cena. Early on, Masters applied the Master Lock but Cena broke the hold easily and that began Masters' downfall. Cena took his time as he had fun beating the snot out of Masters. In the end, Masters couldn't block the F-U and fell victim to the 3 count. John Cena is the NEW CSWA TV Champion.
The CSWA's own Sgt. Slaughter took on the Iron Sheik (with Nikolai Volkoff in his corner). Before the match began, Slaughter announced that he had a surprise partner of his own to fend off any attacks by Volkoff. At this point, Slaugher pointed to the backstage curtain and as the music hit, his backup appeared in the form of none other than NIKITA KOLOFF! Koloff came down to ringside and shook hands with Slaughter. Slaughter announced that this was now a Boot Camp Match. Slaughter held his own but couldn't fend off the vicious attacks from the former Olympic Bronze medal winner. Just as Slaughter was getting ready to lock in the Cobra Clutch, Volkoff ran in the ring but then again so did Koloff. Koloff stopped short and hit the Russian Sickle on Sgt. Slaughter. The Sheik then locked in the camel clutch but Slaughter wouldn't give up. Finally, Sheik let him go and kicked him in the head with his loaded boot. Slaughter curled up into a ball and Sheik covered him for the 3 count. Koloff, Volkoff and Sheik all celebrated in the ring and left Slaughter to be attended by medics.
HWF World Champion Chris Benoit took on his opponent for the evening Kurt Angle. Angle has had a long-standing hatred for Benoit and felt that by winning the title here and now would lock him in as one of the greatest champions of all time. Unfortunately for him, Benoit was well prepared and after a very impressive match, Benoit nailed the flying headbutt but hit Angle so hard that Angle tumbled out of the ring. Benoit was stunned from that shot but it looked like Angle was out cold. The ref counted and when he reached the 10 count and Angle was no where to be seen, he declared Benoit the winner of the match via countout.
Newly crowned HWF North American Champion Christian took on 16 time World Champion Ric Flair. This match was no different as Flair demonstrated that even at his age, he was still the dirtiest player in the game and with his feet on the ropes, got the first pin over Christian. Christian was now more determined to make an example of Flair as he hit him with numerous one-man concertos. After Flair stopped moving, Christian covered him and got the pin. This lead to the third fall being held in a steel cage. Unfortunately, the only thing they had handy was the Hell in a Cell that would be used for the Hardy/Edge match. Under standard cage rules, Flair dipped into his bag of dirty tricks and pummeled the champ with some brass knuckles. He then made the cover, got the 3 count and made it out of the cage before Christian could stop him. Ric Flair is now the NEW North American Champion.
CSWA US Champion Big Show took on HHH. HHH controlled the majority of the match and even got some interference from his wife Stephanie McMahon. The Big Show battled back and after a missed sledgehammer shot, Big Show hit the chokeslam for the win. Big Show retains his title.
HWF's Light Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon with his manager "Handsome G" took on his challenger Classy Travis Massie. Missing from Travis' corner was his valet Babycakes. Massie informed us that Babycakes was still suffering the ill effects from the Golfer's abduction last year so she decided to call it quits from wrestling. Handsome G got involved early on trying to influence the match. Massie saw what was coming so he tossed Negronomicon out of the ring. N saw that his plans had been foiled so he remained outside the ring and got counted out. The Classy one won the match but not the title. Maybe next time.
CSWA World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Hassan with Davari took on MW3. Hassan easily controlled the majority of the match keeping MW3 on a constant defense. The tide of the match went to MW3 when he applied the Oriental Spike - the same move he won the non-title match with. Hassan was almost out but Davari pulled Hassan out of the ring just as Hassan was almost asleep. While on the outside of the ring, Davari slipped Muhammad a pair of brass knuckles. Hassan used them three times to knock out MW3. When he was sure MW3 was out, he made the cover and got the 1-2-3 to retain his World Heavyweight Championship.
Our special guest ref came down for the Super Warrior vs. Gene Snitsky match. This was a Lights Out match. The Super Warrior basically killed Snitsky and the ref just stood back and let it happen. After a vicious piledriver on the concrete, Super Warrior tossed Snitsky back in the ring and went for a cover. The ref made a real slow count but it really didn't matter as there was no way Snitsky was getting up. After delivering the 3 count, the ref shook hands with the Super Warrior and raised his arm to the ovation of the crowd. The hardcore wrestling fans finally realized who it was. Snitsky was taken out on a stretcher while SW posed for the crowd with the ref. The ref then asked SW to leave the ring so he could start the next match. They shook hands once again and even embraced before departing ways.
The ref called for the next match which would be Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels. Michaels came down first and mocked Hogan some before the Immortal one came to the ring. Michaels and the ref both shook hands and appeared to have a mutual agreement going on. Hogan approached the ref and told him that he had better be calling this one right down the middle. Hogan appeared to be a bit rusty but Michaels was out to teach the Legend the meaning of the word ICON. Michaels and Hogan both took turns outmaneuvering each other to gain an advantage. Hogan hit numerous leg drops which Michaels barely kicked out of. Michaels in turn nailed Hogan with quite a few superkicks but due to what appeared to be a slow count, never scored a 3 count over Hogan. The match hit the time limit but the ref said that the match would continue. Michaels hit the ropes and was about to take Hogan's head off with a superkick but the ref stopped him. Michaels was confused and a tad irate. He pushed the ref out of the way and hit a superkick on Hogan. He went for a cover but the ref refused to make the count. Shawn then got into the ref's face but then turned around to an approaching Hogan and superkicked Hogan but Hogan shrugged it off by Hulking Up. Shawn ran to the ropes but ended up tasting the boot of Hogan. Hogan then hit his patented Leg Drop and the ref counted quick and awarded the match to Hogan. The ref took the mic and told Hogan that since he did this favor for him, it was up to Hogan to pay up at the next PPV. He said that the fans would be treated to a match that rivaled theirs from 15 years ago. Finally, everyone realized who it was and after removing his ref shirt and revealing his Dingo War Flags, it was none other than the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior and Hogan left the ring together while Michaels fumed in the ring. Michaels told Hogan that this was not over and at the next TV show, he would teach Hogan the meaning of the word Bitch. Hogan basically said that if he could beat Michaels once, he could do it again. We should have a rematch pretty soon.
The HWF Intercontinental match was next which pitted the champion Undertaker against JBL. The Undertaker easily beat down his former Acolyte and told him that if he could not beat the Undertaker, there would be no way JBL would ever get a World Title shot. JBL turned up his game a bit after hitting a few Clotheslines from Hell but since the Undertaker was really familiar with Hell, those shots did little to put down the dead man. Undertaker set JBL up for 2 consecutive Last Rides and finished off Bradshaw with a nasty chokeslam. Undertaker retains the IC title.
In a match that was expected to be the highlight of the evening did not disappoint. Matt Hardy took on Edge in the Hell in a Cell. Hardy beat the living snot out of Edge and at the 20 minute mark, they broke through the cage wall taking this to the outside of the ring. Both men were bleeding from all over after being dumped in thumbtacks. Hardy had the advantage until Edge drove him through the Spanish Announce table. Edge then beat up one of the Spanish announcers and tossed him on top of Hardy. Edge made the cover and with the extra bulk on top of him, guaranteed his win in this nasty event. Lita then came down as the cage was raised up and made out with Edge in the ring. By this time, Hardy had gotten himself freed of the Spanish announcer and crawled under the ring. Neither Edge nor Lita were paying attention when Matt came up from under the ring and clocked Edge and Lita with a shovel knocking them both out. Hardy pulled out a pair of handcuffs and secured Edge to the ring rope. Matt then picked up the unconscious Lita and took her to the back. He got on the mic before leaving and told the audience this was not over and he had plans for Lita. They needed to tune in to see Lita get her upcommance. The fans cheered wildly as Matt dumped Lita into the trunk of his car and drove out of the arena. Edge woke up to see Matt drive off but he was too late to do anything about it.
Our final match of the evening was Chris Benoit defending the Undisputed Championship against CSWA Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Hassan with Davari. Davari interfered early in the match but Benoit took him out fairly easily. Benoit hit two flying headbutts and a crippler crossface but Hassan wouldn't tap out. Hassan kept yelling at Davari to get up and help him but as he turned around, Benoit nailed a spectacular flying dropkick to Hassan's face and covered him for the 3 count. Benoit retains the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship.
Thank you and Goodnight.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 9.1 – The Aftermath
Hello wrestling fans and welcome to the first September edition of our newsletter. In this issue, we will recap the events following the PPV.
Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan have mended ways. Hogan was approached in the back by Michaels and was actually congratulated on his win. Shawn referred to Hulk as "the better man" and he knows that enough is enough. He apologized for all of the derogatory remarks he had made and both shook hands.
Carlito has confirmed that he will indeed be getting a rematch against CSWA Cruiserweight Champion Jay "The Texas Hammer" Mack. Carlito said that his first match was to confirm all of Mack's weaknesses and he will indeed be ready next time.
CSWA World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Hassan has confirmed that MW3 is totally out of the world title picture (for now). Hassan started bad mouthing all the former champs and even took a special shot at 5 time former WCW World Champ Booker T. Booker got on the mic and told Hassan that he needed to be silenced. Davari got on the mic and asked what a 5 time LOSER was going to do about it. Booker ran down to the ring and cleared house. Davari got back in the ring and hopped on the back of Booker. Booker nailed a flying dropkick followed by a scissors kick but was knocked down by Hassan when he tried to hit the Bookend. Hassan and Davari beat on Booker until 8 refs broke it up. I guess Booker is going after the World title now.
The CSWA TV Champ John Cena has been touring and promoting his new CD. He needed help on the back end with promoting and when he found out that one of his co-workers actually had a background in managing bands, he was brought on as part of his entourage. This man was none other than MW3. Cena told MW3 that just because he wasn't destined to win the world title right now, it didn't mean he wouldn't down the line. MW3 thanked Cena for his words of encouragement and then went back to helping him promote his album.
After the beat down he applied to Sgt. Slaughter, Nikita Koloff stated that this appearance at the PPV was a one time only deal. Koloff said it was great to be back in front of the fans once again but unfortunately, his body wasn't up to the rigors of daily competition so this is where he was drawing the line. Nikita thanked Donnie B and Jeff Meyers for allowing him to participate in the PPV, blessed everyone in attendance and then left the building.
After defeating and humiliating HHH at the PPV, the Big Show stated that he would accept any and all challengers for his title. Chris Masters and Eddie Guerrerro both accepted the challenge at the same time so the two of them will fight it out to see who gets to meet the Big Show for the US title.
HWF North American Champion Ric Flair was indeed celebrating his win over Christian. Christian had stated that he would get a rematch but then Shelton Benjamin got in his way stating that he wanted a shot at the 16 time World champ. Christian and Benjamin will have a match to determine the #1 contender for that championship.
After his loss to the Undertaker, JBL stated that he wanted a shot at HWF World Champion Chris Benoit. Benoit answered that if JBL couldn't defeat the Undertaker, what chance would he have against him? JBL then viciously attacked the world champ and beat him bloody senseless. It looks as if these two men will meet in a match in the near future. This did not sit well with the Legend Killer Randy Orton. Orton stated that he had been waiting for his opportunity and that his record was much better than JBL's so he should be getting the match. Benoit basically called Orton a nobody and turned his back on him. Orton didn't take too kindly to that so he beat on the champ hoping that by attacking an already injured Benoit; it would propel him to the #1 spot first. No decision has been made at this time.
Batista stepped up and challenged the Undertaker for the Intercontinental Championship. Undertaker, not one to back down from any challenge, gladly accepted.
HWF Light Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon continued his complaints against HWF management (with the help of Handsome G). Donnie B told Negronomicon that the two of them would have a match. If Donnie B won, not only would he get the title, Negronomicon would no longer be able to complain about the pads or anything else. If Negronomicon won, then all of his complaints would be heard by the entire HWF management team and as long as they were reasonable, they conditions would be met. Donnie B did also state that if Negronomicon wanted Handsome G at ringside, he would have to have an equalizer there - just in case. Negronomicon accepted and at our next show, this match is expected to take place.
The feud between Matt Hardy and Edge is far from over. At the end of the PPV, Matt Hardy had knocked out both Lita and Edge with a shovel. Edge was then handcuffed to the bottom ring rope while Matt carried out an unconscious Lita. Matt had dumped Lita in the trunk of his car and drove off. We didn't know where until Donnie B received a call about an hour later from Matt. Matt told Donnie B that Lita was ok but a little worse for wear. Unknowingly to the rest of the audience, Matt had brought an HWF cameraman along with him. He had the camera man zoom in on Lita as she was waking up. He had a fairly large knot on her forehead but when the cameraman got a good look at Lita's face, he saw that she had no HAIR. Matt had shaved off all her hair while she was out cold. Matt and the cameraman were both laughing really hard while Lita struggled to get out of the rope binding her to the chair. After Lita had been released, she returned to Edge but was wearing a wig. Edge swore revenge but Matt promised that the next head shaved would be Edge's so that he can look like his bitch. HWF management has decided to only have these two wrestle each other at PPV's in order to keep the televised violence to a minimum. Edge was ok with this.
We expect to send out the next newsletter as soon as some of the above matches take place.
Good Night.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 9.2
Hello fans, we have quite a bit of information to pass along so we might as well get started.
CSWA
Eddie Guerrerro vs Chris Masters for #1 shot at US title: Eddie started off like a firecracker but after a minute into the match, Masters applied the Master Lock but Guerrerro refused to give up. This forced Masters to turn it up a notch and really took the match to the former World Champ. After hitting a nasty suplex that looked like Eddie landed on his neck (he didn't luckily), Masters rolled up Eddie and got the 3 count. He stole a page from Eddie's book by getting the win with his foot on the rope.
Cruiserweight title rematch: Jay Mack vs Carlito: Carlito started off by taking the mic from the ref and started to run down the fans in the arena. Mack quickly interuppted him and their battle got going. Both men fought hard with neither one getting much of a lead over the other. Carlito managed to hit Mack in the head with a coconut while Mack battled back with numerous hammers to the head of Carlito. In the end, Mack and Carlito went to another time limit draw. Management then decided that since Carlito had two opportunities and couldn't get a solid win, he would be removed from future matches for now.
In preparation to determine who would become the #1 contender for the Big Show's US title, two matches were held. The first would be HHH vs. John Cena and the second would be Kane vs. RVD. Before the first match began, Big Show came to sit at ringside to watch the two matches. HHH came out first and started yelling at the Show. Cena came out quickly and they started their match. Cena hit the F-U early on and HHH hit his Pedigree but both men kicked out of their respective moves. At one point in the match, HHH left the ring and got into the Show's face. HHH grabbed Cena's chain and threatened the US champ with it but Cena came out and hit HHH with an axe handle smash to the back. He rolled HHH back into the ring and got HHH up for the F-u. HHH managed to get out of it and ran to the ropes and then hit Cena with a high knee smash. HHH set Cena up for the Pedigree when Big Show stood up and started to make his way to the ring. HHH let go of Cena and as soon as he turned his back on him, Cena hit HHH with a beautiful dropkick. He picked up the stunned Hunter and nailed the F-U. He rolled up HHH and was able to get the 1-2-3. John Cena advances.
The second match began just as soon as both men left the ring. Big Show remained at ringside to keep an eye on things. Kane came down first followed by RVD. The Big Red Machine looked nothing short of a big red retard and RVD OWNED him this match. He hit two Vandaminators followed by a 5 Star Frog Splash and took the fight to Kane. RVD hit at least 3 more Van Daminators and after hitting the final one, Kane looked like he was totally gone as Rob was able to make the cover and get the win. Next week, Rob Van Dam and John Cena will meet to deterime the #1 contender for the US title.
The final CSWA match of the night was a non-title match between World Champion Muhammad Hassan and Booker T. As Hassan and Davari (wearing a dreadlock wig) got to the ring, Davairi climbed the turnbuckle and started spazing out trying to make fun of Booker T. Booker's music hits but there is no Booker. All of a sudden, from the audience, comes Booker T. He manages to knock Hassan out of the ring and hit a Bookend on Davari. He removes the wig and throws it to the audience. He then takes Davari and tosses him out of the ring and then pulls Hassan back in. The bell is then rung and this match begins. Booker really had his mind on the match and he beat the living snot out of Hassan. Booker also managed to hit 4 Bookends on Hassan. After hitting the final Bookend, he followed it up with a scissors kick, a cover and a win. Booker T wins the match and also becomes the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Title.
HWF
Undertaker vs. Batista (non-title): Batista had challenged the dead man and of course, Undertaker accepted. Taker stated that if Batista could best him in this match, he would become the #1 contender for this title. Both men gave it their all but in the end, Batista couldn't measure up to the tombstone piledriver. Undertaker made an easy cover and got the win. So much for that challenge.
Negronomicon (w/Handsome G) vs Donnie B (w/his surprise guest) for the HWF Light Heavyweight Championship. The stipulation in this match was that if Donnie B won, he would get the title. If the Negronomicon retains, he gets all the padding around the ring that money can buy with no complaints from management. Negronomicon and Handsome G came to ringside first. Donnie B then came down about half way and then made a special announcement. "I will have my hands full taking on the Negronomicon so in order to counter the presence of Handsome G, I will need someone in my corner to keep an eye on things. My guest at this time is considered by all as the 'Manager of Champions'. He has managed more individuals and well as tag teams to glory. Tonight, I hope the same will happen. Ladies and Gentlemen: Captain Lou Albano!" The crown went ballistic as Cpt. Lou made his way to ringside. He looked a lot older than we remember him. Here is hoping that Donnie B's claim would come true. Both men started off the match strong but the Negronomicon was better prepared. He immediately went to work on Donnie B's arm. By taking out the arm, Donnie B would not be able to lock in the brainbuster. This unfortunately was not the case as Donnie B nailed a perfectly executed Lights out brainbuster on Negronomicon but the ref was out of place yelling at Handsome G and Cpt. Lou to keep it separated. Donnie B was only able to get a 2 count. Donnie B went to the ropes but got tripped by Handsome G. The Handsome one then turned around only to get a huge fist in the face from the Captain. Meanwhile in the ring, Negronomicon battled back by hitting 2 consecutive doom bombs. Donnie B was able to recover and toss N out of the ring. Handsome G went to confer with his star and appeared to hand him something. Negronomicon got back in the ring and was the victim of a nasty neckbreaker. Donnie B made a cover but Negronomicon kicked out at 2. Handsome G then snuck up behind Captain Lou and ran him into the steel steps. The Captain was down. Donnie B, distracted by the commotion on the outside of the ring did not see Negronomicon slip on a pair of brass knuckles. Donnie B turned around and right into a southpaw punch to the jaw by the champion. Negronomicon then picked up Donnie B and hit a Doom Bomb. He made the cover but pulled Donnie B up at two. He locked on a headlock and gave the GM another Brass knuckle shot. Again, another cover and a pull up at two. Handsome G got on the ring apron to distract the ref and then Negronomicon went to the top rope and hit a flying fist drop from the top rope to an almost unconscious Donnie B. N quickly tossed the brass knuckles out of the ring and made the cover. The ref came over, questioned Negronomicon about his actions and then made the count. Donnie B was not moving and didn't budge when the 3 count was made. Negronomicon gets his wish and gets to keep his title. The ref started to help Donnie B out of the ring and then the lights went out. Suddenly, appearing on stage was the Super Warrior. SW then announced that he wanted a shot at the Light Heavyweight Champion. Negronomicon agreed but it will have to take place next week. Super Warrior agreed and then quickly left.
Paul London vs Tajiri for #1 spot for HWF Light Heavyweight Championship: With Super Warrior getting the next title match, we have two men who want to be considered as contenders. Tajiri spit the green mist early but London managed to block most of it from getting in his eyes. Twice in the match, Tajiri went for the tarrantula but London counted it both times. London then tossed Tajiri to the ropes and Tajiri did a handspring flip but was met with a dropkick from London. Tariri was out in the ring and London climbed to the top rope, hit the 450 splash and got the win securing himself a shot at the Light Heavyweight Title.
Orton vs JBL for #1 spot for HWF World Championship. JBL has been failing about as bad as HHH is over in CSWA. JBL did manage to slightly control the majority of the match with Orton getting in his licks. JBL hit a Clothesline from Hell and knocked Orton to the outside of the ring. Orton, took his time on the outside trying to regain his composure. JBL finally got tired of waiting and tossed Orton back in the ring where he immediately distracted the ref. At this time, Cowboy Bob Orton came in from the audience and pushed JBL into the stairs. He then pulled out a pair of handcuffs and secured the former Acolyte to the bottom part of the ring post. He did this so that the ref would not see the handcuffs. Cowboy Bob then jumped back into the audience and when the ref turned around and didn't see JBL anywhere, he started his 10 count. As the ref was ready to count to ten, he finally saw JBL on the outside but it appeared that he was kneeling down. He couldn't see any reason why so he finally made the 10 count and JBL was counted out. Randy Orton was declared the winner of the match by countout and the NEW #1 contender for the HWF World Heavyweight Title.
The final match of the evening was Shelton Benjamin vs Christian for #1 shot at NA title. At the beginning of the match, Benjamin stated that only true "wrestling" champs should be able to fight for this title. Christian battled back even hitting 3 Unprettiers but it wasn't enough to keep the former NCAA champion down. Benjamin connected with a T-Bone suplex and then followed it up with a missile dropkick. Shelton got the win (he did have a handful of tights but the ref never saw it) and goes on to meet Ric Flair for the North American Heavyweight Title as some point in the future.
We do have some other matches that are being finished up. As soon as we have the results from those shows, we will pass them along.
Good Night.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 9.3
Hello fans, welcome back. In this issue, we will recap some of the more important matches that have transpired since our last newsletter.
HWF
Undertaker vs Kurt Angle (non-title): Undertaker makes quick work of the former Olympic Gold Medalist and easily pins Angle in 3 minutes after delivering the Last Ride. Undertaker grabs a mic and then states he is requesting his world title shot as the official number one contender. HWF World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit comes out and agrees. Benoit states that he has other shots lined up first but as the World Champion, he guarantees Undertaker will get the title shot at the PPV regardless of who is the champion then.
Shawn Michaels vs. Batista for the #1 spot for the HWF Intercontinental title. Shawn had challenged Batista to see who would go on to meet the Undertaker at the PPV for the Intercontinental Championship. The match was hard fought with both men hitting their specialty moves but in the end, Michaels couldn't or wouldn't get up after a nasty Batista bomb. Batista wins the match and will go on to meet the Undertaker at the PPV.
Negronomicon vs Super Warrior for the Light Heavyweight title. Super Warrior was looking fresh after the pummeling he delivered to Gene Snitsky. He and the Negronomicon fought evenly until the timely intervention of N's manager Handsome G. Negronomicon then started to lose his motivation and Super Warrior began to capitalize on it. Handsome G then went to the announcers booth where he opened his laptop and began working. In the ring, the Super Warrior collided with N in the ring. The ref, confused as to what Handsome G was up to, left the ring and went to check in on the wayward manager. What he then saw on the laptop horrified him. He found Handsome G betting on the outcome (favoring his protégé, of course) stating that Negronomicon would win the match with some brass knuckles. The ref immediatley disqualifed Negronomicon. Super Warrior then is declared the winner of the match but the title does not change hands on a DQ. I am sure a rematch will be in SW's future.
CSWA
In the final showdown for the #1 contender for the US title tourney, RVD took on current TV champion John Cena. RVD took control early in this match and constantly hit Cena with numerous Van Daminators. RVD was literally wiping the mat with the TV champ. Then, out of nowhere, Cena was able to hit an F-U and scored the pin on RVD. John Cena goes on to become the #1 contender for the US title. RVD then states that he had Cena beat and then demands a shot at the TV title at the next show. Cena agrees.
A Battle Royal was then held to see who would become the #1 contender for the CSWA Cruiserweight title. The participants in this battle royal were Rico, MW3, the Hurricane, Chavo Guerrerro and Rey Mysterio. In order of elimation:
Rico by MW3
Hurricane by Chavo
MW3 by Chavo
Rey Mysterio def. Chavo to become #1 contender
In a match where the US title was on the line, Champion Big Show took on challenger Chris Masters. Big Show did all his homework as Masters never really was able to mount any offense. In the end, Masters was just another victim to the Chokeslam.
In a move that has never been done before, Chris Benoit agreed to defend the Unified Championship against Mohammed Hassan in an non-PPV match. Benoit was not prepared for Davari's interference and that cost him many opportunities in this match. Hassan hit the STO and quickly turned it into a pin and with Davari holding Benoit's foot, Hassan was able to secure the victory and for the first time in almost 2 years, we have a NEW UNIFIED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION and his name is Mohammed Hassan. Hassan and Davari left ringside together holding both the CSWA World Title and his newly acquired Unified Championship. I am sure Benoit will be quickly getting a rematch.
That is all for now. More to follow.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 9.4
This issues will be relatively short but the information we have just received is RED HOT!
CSWA
Mohammed Hassan took on his number one contender Booker T in a steel cage. Booker proved to everyone why his is a 5 time former WCW Heavyweight Champion but Hassan proved to us why he is (more importantly) the CSWA Heavyweight Champion (and newly crowned Unified Champion). This was a PPV caliber match where both men gave it their all. Even in the confines of the steel cage, Davari still managed to get himself involved by slipping Hassan a pair of brass knuckles. Hassan then climed to the top of the cage and delivered a B-52 kneedrop to the unconscious Booker below and was able to get the pin. He then made it out of the cage before Booker even began to stir. Hassan retains the CSWA Heavyweight Title.
Immediately after the match, Hassan got on the mic and stated that all that was missing now was that other title Benoit was holding - the HWF World Heavyweight Championship. Hassan started to run down Benoit until Chris came out from the back. Benoit told Hassan that he was asserting his request for a rematch for (his) the Unfied Heavyweight title. Chris stated that if Hassan could defeat him, he would put his HWF Title on the line.
The following night had Mohammed Hassan meet Chris Benoit in a rematch for the Unified Title. This time, Benoit was ready and as soon as Davari tried to get involved, Benoit immediately took him out. Hassan, though, was ready for this and as soon as Benoit turned around, he was clocked with the CSWA title (he didn't want to tarnish the Unified belt) and quickly pinned Benoit to retain the Unified title.
During interviews for the next few days, Hassan ran down Benoit verbally and stated that it was only a matter of time that he would hold all the gold.
HWF
Chris Benoit defended his World title against CSWA World Champion Mohammed Hassan in a Lights Out match. Benoit made this one of his shortest matches ever by pinning the CSWA champion with his feet on the ropes. Chris Benoit retained the belt and this only led to Hassan becoming more irate at the cheesy win and underhanded techniques Benoit would stoop to in order to keep his belt. Hassan, of course, demanded a rematch and Benoit stated that the only way this would happen would be for Hassan to put all his gold on the line and make this a one fall, winner takes all. Hassan agreed. Benoit then went on to say that in order to keep out certain rif-raf, a match of this magnitude could only be held in one type of match - a Hell in a Cell. Hassan agreed to the stipulation but looked a little worried.
The following weekend was highlighted by a Winner Takes All in the Hell in a Cell match between Mohammed Hassan and Chris Benoit. Hassan was the first to bleed as Chris introduced Hassan's face to all 4 sides of the cage. Benot started to bleed shortly after being bodyslammed into some tacks that Hassan spread out outside of the ring. Chris tossed Hassan into the cage wall many times but was unable to break through. Hassan battled back with the ferocity of a cornered tiger. Both men continued to battle back and forth until the timely (once again) interference of Davari. Davari managed to get a chair into the cage and Hassan then used it on Benoit. Hassan delivered 3 devistating DDT's on the chair before making the pin attempt. Hassan had him covered as the ref counted 1...2...and Benoit KICKED OUT! HOLY S**T! This was an absolutely amazing thing to see as Benoit somehow managed to roll this into a Crippler Crossface. Hassan was almost ready to tap out but was able to get out of the move right at the last second. Benoit then went for the flying headbutt but missed. Hassan rolled up Benoit and was able to get the 1-2-3. Now, Hassan had to make it out of the ring but Benoit wasn't going to allow it. Benoit tried to whip Hassan into the ropes but Hassan reversed it and Benoit became tangled in the hangman's noose. As the ref struggled to get Benoit free, Hassan headed for the door. Hassan made it to the floor and was then declared the winner. Oh yeah, and he is also the NEW HWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Hassan collected Davari and his 3 titles and headed to the back just as Benoit was freed from the hangman's noose. Benoit was now title-less.
HWF GM Donnie B was quick to state that Hassan's flagrant disregard for the rules would not fly in the HWF. He told Hassan that when defending the HWF World title, if he was to get himself disqualified or counted out, he would lose the HWF title. Hassan began to argue the fact that the HWF did not honor that rule (it is currently in use by the CSWA) but Donnie B was quick to point out that Hassan was not an HWF wrestler but a CSWA one. That would make all the difference.
Donnie B then stated that the following matches would be held at the next PPV:
Batista vs. Undertaker for the Intercontinental Championship
John Cena vs. Big Show for the US Title
Mohammed Hassan vs Undertaker for the HWF World title
Mohammed Hassan vs RVD for the CSWA World title
Negronomicon vs. Paul London for the Light Heavyweight Championship
Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin for the North American Title
Rey Mysterio vs Jay Mack for the Cruiserweight title
John Cena vs MW3 for the TV title (for all his help in promoting his album).
More to follow.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 9.5
Well fans, this has definitely been a week of huge news. This last part comes on the heels of the latest PPV information. Almost all of this news is centered on and around the CSWA/HWF/Unified Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan. RVD was named as the #1 contender to the CSWA World Title but Hassan stated that no one would get any type of title match until they defeat him in a non-title match up. RVD agreed and the match (soon to be one of many) began.
Match #1: Mohammed Hassan vs. Rob Van Dam: RVD started off like a ball of fire but that fire quickly died out as the multiple heavyweight championship title holder proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the greatest champion alive or dead. Hassan appears to mature and grow as a wrestler gaining more knowledge and experience with every match he has. RVD fell victim to the STO and the 3 count that followed. RVD has been eliminated as a potential challenger for the world title.
Hassan then got on a mic and called out GM Jeff Meyers. Hassan asked where all of his decent challengers were. Hassan asked Mr. Meyers to personally pick 6 wrestlers for him to fight (one a day) and if any of them could defeat him (via pin, sub or C.O.), he would offer them the title match at the PPV. Now, if he was to defeat all of the hand picked wrestlers that Mr. Meyers could come up with, then there would be no way the CSWA World title will be on the line. Mr. Meyers agreed under the stipulation that Davari would not be allowed at ringside. With that agreement in place, the following line up was chosen:
US Champ the Big Show
MW3
TV Champ John Cena
Kane
HHH
Eddie Guerrerro
Needless to say that none of the above mentioned wrestlers even came close to a win over the champ except for one individual: Eddie Guerrerro. Guerrerro tried his best to lie, cheat and steal a win but the champ was just too well prepared and put the final nail in the coffin of Guerrerro.
After the last match had ended, HWF GM Donnie B came down and made an announcement. "Keeping in mind that when you defend the HWF World title, you WILL lose the title and no rematch will be granted if you are disqualified or counted out. You also claim that there are no real wrestlers for you to take on so I will present you with a snapshot; a preview, if you will, of what will transpire at the PPV where you WILL defend the HWF World title against this man." At this point, the Undertaker's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. The bell quickly rings and the Undertaker gets the upper hand early. At the two minute mark, Undertaker hits a tombstone piledriver but Hassan kicks out quickly and gets out of the ring to recover. Undertaker chases Hassan back to the ring where Hassan connects with a devastating suplex that looks a lot like a brainbuster. Hassan made a quick cover but Undertaker kicked out at the 1 count and immediately sat up. Hassan botched a flying bodypress as Undertaker caught him in mid air and then hit another tombstone piledriver. Undertaker made the cover and at the 4 minute mark, he got the win over Hassan. Hassan quickly got out of the ring cursing the Undertaker and promising that this would not happen again.
This is all for now. This reporter will be going to Vegas at the end of the week so there probably won't be another newsletter until the next week. If more news surfaces before that time, I will make sure it is reported in a timely manner.
Good Night.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 10.1 – The prelude to the PPV
Hello wrestling fans and welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter. As we all know, CSWA World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan did not have a challenger for the title as he went through all the top contenders and defeated each and every one of them in a non-title match up. At the last house show, the champ made an appearance and stated that it looked like there were no real challenges for him and basically insulted all the wrestlers in the back. As Hassan made his way to the ring, one man came out from the back. His name is Animal…as in Road Warrior Animal of the Legion of Doom. Animal took a mic and told Hassan that if he wanted a challenge, one was standing right in front of him. Hassan replied by stating that he would accept the challenge and to make the match more even, Hassan would wrestle in his new suit stating that the match would be over before Hassan could get to the back, change and make his way back to the ring. Animal hit the ring and the bell rang. Animal overpowered the challenger with giant clotheslines, an overhead press and slam and then a beautifully executed powerslam. Hassan rolled out of the ring and fell to the floor. Animal followed him out and removed part of the mat surrounding the ring and bodyslammed the champ smack dab on the concrete floor. He rolled back in and when the ref counted to ten and the champ was no where to be seen, Animal was declared the winner of the match and the new #1 contender for the CSWA World title. Davari finally made his way down to ringside but was too late to interfere but he did help the champ to the back. For the first time in this reporter’s experience, I have never seen a World Champion so scared of a challenger.
The adjusted PPV card now looks like this:
Batista vs. Undertaker for the Intercontinental Championship
John Cena vs. Big Show for the US Title
Mohammed Hassan vs Undertaker for the HWF World title
Mohammed Hassan vs Road Warrior Animal for the CSWA World title
Negronomicon vs. Paul London for the Light Heavyweight Championship
Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin for the North American Title
Rey Mysterio vs Jay Mack for the Cruiserweight title
John Cena vs MW3 for the TV title
It is extremely possible we might see other matches added to the card. We will have to wait and see.
That is all for now. The PPV results should post soon.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 10.2 – Unforgiven PPV
Hello fans and welcome. The Unforgiven PPV is getting ready to begin so let's jump right into the action.
As you all know, CSWA World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan has defeated all of the top contenders in this group. The one man to hand the champ a defeat was Road Warrior Animal who will meet the champ tonight for the World Title. Hassan has stated that the win was a fluke and will prove it to everyone tonight. Not ones to stand by and do nothing, 4 wrestlers banded together and approached GM Jeff Meyers together. They said that they want another chance to prove themselves and to the World Champion so they asked for qualifying matches to see who might get the next opportunity. Mr. Meyers agreed and added the following matches to tonight’s card:
Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrerro
And
HHH vs. Kane
The winners of these two matches will meet at a future date to see who might get the opportunity against the CSWA World Champion.
The camera immediately cuts to the HWF GM Donnie B where he too had been approached by both Chris Benoit and Randy Orton. Both men feel that they can contribute to the PPV so they asked for a match later on and their wish was granted.
The PPV begins and we have our first match.
Match #1: CSWA TV Champion John Cena vs. MW3. This match came about as a payback for all the help MW3 gave Cena on getting his latest album produced. The match began with both men holding their own but Cena used his strength to his advantage to hit some devastating moves early on. MW3 battled back with a couple of bitch slaps and Cena then got into his face. He said that if this is the way it needs to be then the gloves need to come off. What happens in the ring will in no way affect the gratitude MW3 has shown him but if MW3 really wants this belt, the gloves will have to come off. Both men shook hands and then Cena went right after the challenger. Cena hit MW3 with a flurry of punches that staggered the challenger. Cena then got his chain and plastered MW3 right in the face with it (I am guessing that this is now a no DQ match?!?!) Cena then nailed the F-U but only got a two count. MW3 battled back but ran right into a big foot followed up by another F-U. This time, Cena got the pin and was declared the winner of the match and still the CSWA TV champion. Cena helped MW3 up and they shook hands and left the ring.
Match #2: As both men were leaving ringside, CSWA US Champion the Big Show met them on the ramp. Show stated that since Cena was already out here, they might as well begin their match. MW3 wished Cena luck as the TV champ went back to the ring followed by the Big Show. Cena was in the ring by the time the Show got there and as Show crawled under the rope, Cena attacked him signaling the start of the match. Cena held his own but the Big Show was just too fresh and shoved the youngster to the outside of the ring a couple of times. At one point in the match, Cena got the Big Show up for the F-U but after delivering it, didn't have enough to make the cover. Big Show recovered quickly for a man his size and nailed Cena with a big boot to the face followed up by the Chokeslam. Show went for the pin but Cena kicked out at 2. Show then delivered a huge headbutt followed by a butt bust in the corner. He then dragged Cena to the middle of the ring and hit the Cutting Edge. Show made the cover and got a clean 1-2-3 and was declared the winner of the match and still the US Champion. Cena left the ring while Show celebrated with the fans.
Match #3: This was supposed to be a Legends match with the Immortal Hulk Hogan taking on the Ultimate dingbat...I mean Warrior. The only reason I'm dissing on the Warrior is that he called in about 30 minutes before the event and cancelled his appearance due to a stubbed toe. He said he was in Ultimate pain and decided to cancel his appearance. He grunted and snorted a lot on the phone and then hung up.
Match #4: HWF Light Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon (w/Handsome G) vs. Paul London was next. London looked fired up and of course, Negronomicon didn't want to be there. London started off stunning the champ and forcing him to the defensive. Now, it was time for Handsome G to get involved. He signalled to the ref who was nodded his head and immediately broke up an offensive flurry from the challenger. THE FIX IS IN!!!! THE FIX IS IN!!! Negronomicon took advantage of the distraction and nailed London with a face buster. He went for the pin but the ref never made it to three. London then tossed Negronomicon to the floor and then began yelling at the ref. The ref pushed back on London and immediately yelled out "10" and counted the champ out. Paul London won the match but not the title. Negronomicon, Handsome G and the ref all left the ring together.
Match #5: Randy Orton vs. Chris Benoit. Both men gave it their all with Orton nailing an RKO and Benoit with his Crippler Crossface. In the end, Orton could not get back up after falling victim to a huge superplex from the top rope. Benoit was declared the winner.
Match #6: Batista vs. the Undertaker for the HWF Intercontinental title came next. This match appeared to be the best so far this evening with both men holding nothing back. Batista hit many spinebusters and Batista Bombs but Undertaker countered with tombstone piledrivers. At right about the 16 minute mark, Mohammed Hassan came to ringside and the Undertaker was immediately distracted. Batista took advantage of this and hit the champ with a huge spinebuster. Batista covered the Undertaker and at the 19 minute mark, was declared the NEW Intercontinental Champion. At this time, Hassan asked the ref to remove Batista from the ring. He said that he was invoking the title match now and this led directly into...
Match #7: Mohammed Hassan vs. the Undertaker for the HWF World Heavyweight Championship. At this time, Undertaker was really beat down from his last match with Batista so he was not prepared for Hassan's onslaught. For the first two minutes of the match, Undertaker had absolutely no offense. At the 3 minute mark, Taker tried to battle back but Hassan nailed him with a nasty brainbuster suplex and with the help of the ropes, was able to get the 1-2-3 over the Undertaker and retain the HWF World title. Hassan immediately left the ring where he was met by Davari and they started on their way back. One small issue was that at the top of the ramp was the challenger for the next match and that was Road Warrior Animal. Animal got on the mic and stated that he was invoking his right for his title match and wanted it right now. Hassan agreed and said he would dispatch the former Road Warrior just as easily as he did the Undertaker.
Match #8: Mohammed Hassan vs. Road Warrior Animal for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship. This time it was Hassan who was not prepared for the brute strength of the challenger. Many times throughout the match, Animal had taken the offense and Hassan yelled to Davari to help him. At one point, Davari got on the ring apron and Animal just glared at him enough to make him get down. I would have to say that to date, Animal has put up the greatest match for this champion but tonight, brute strength just wasn't going to be enough. Hassan got Animal up and planted him with a vicious right hand. He then put Animal in the STO followed by a cobra clutch and then finished him off with a brainbuster suplex right at the 14 minute mark. Hassan was declared the winner of the match and he immediately left the ring.
Out in the back, Hassan and Davari were trying to leave only to be stopped by some of the biggest names in the HWF: Chris Benoit, Randy Orton, Hulk Hogan, Batista, JBL, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels and Edge. Hassan went on to state that he had already defeated all the big names on the CSWA's roster. He told all these guys that they will have to wrestle 3x against each other and the first man to get three wins before the next will get a non-title shot at him. Then, if he can beat him in the non-title match, he would be granted a world title shot...all except for Benoit. Hassan stated that he has beaten Benoit numerous times so he has no interest in beating him again. He also stated that the first of these wrestlers to hand Benoit his first defeat would get a bounty of $10,000. The group split and then let Hassan and Davari pass. It appears that Benoit will have to work extra hard to become a number one contender again. Hassan turned around and told Batista that if he truly wanted to be a top contender, he needed to get back out there and finish off the Undertaker.
While all this was going on, the CSWA had their first of two qualifying matches.
Match #9: Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrerro. RVD outmaneuvered Eddie throughout most of the match but Guerrerro used his cunning and guile to perfectly nullify a van daminator and drop RVD on his head. Eddie then went to the top rope and connected with the Frog Splash and the win.
Match #10: HHH vs. Kane. This one didn't go that long either as HHH made short work of the big red retard and ended any possibilities of a #1 contender spot after Kane was kissing the mat after a Pedigree.
Match #11: Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin for the North American Heavyweight title. Ric Flair was in true form - meaning he had resorted back to his Horseman days and truly taught the youngster Benjamin what being a champion meant. Flair kept Benjamin grounded for most of the match and chopped the hell out of him trying to put him away but couldn't do it. Benjamin managed to hit the T-Bone suplex a couple of times during the match but didn't have enough to make the cover. Finally, the bell rang signalling the end of the contest but Flair asked Benjamin if he wanted to continue. Flair turned to the fans and asked them if they wanted this "hell of a fight" to continue. Benjamin agreed and the match was restarted. Benjamin went to put the mic down and as soon as he turned around, Flair busted him right in the face with a pair of brass knuckles and pinned Benjamin. Ric Flair retains the NA title.
Match #12: Surprisingly, this match up between challenger Rey Mysterio Jr and the CSWA Cruiserweight champion Jay "the Texas Hammer" Mack was probably the best match of the night. Mack really held up his own against Mysterio but, like all others before him, fell vicitm to the 6-1-9 and lost the belt. Rey said that Mack was really a great talent and immediately offer him a rematch. Mack agreed and just a few minutes later, actually took the back his belt from Mysterio. Both men agreed that they needed to settle this here and now so a cage was quickly put up and their third match up began. Mack took control early over Rey but at key moments in the match, Rey evened the score. This match was quickly approaching the time limit and neither man had any real advantage over the other. Rey went for a 6-1-9 but was countered and he then reversed it again and connected squarely with Mack. Mack went down as Rey went up - to the top of the cage. Rey then hit a B-52 kneedrop from the top of the cage onto Mack and made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Rey then scaled the cage wall and successfully made it to the outside of the ring declaring him the winner and the NEW CSWA Cruiserweight Champion.
Match #13: The final match of the night was Undertaker's rematch against Batista for the IC title. Undertaker had appeared to be getting some of his wind back but needed more rest time as he tossed Batista to the outside of the ring 6 times in the first 10 minutes of the match. Finally, Batista got fed up and on the 7th oust from the ring, Batista got a chair and sat outside. Undertaker was trying to recover in the ring and he never noticed Batista just sitting there. The ref rang the bell signaling a count out but Batista remains the Intercontintal champion.
That is all. Good Night.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 10.3 – The Aftermath
Hello fans. This recap is following on the footsteps of the HWF wrestlers who had taken World Champion Mohammad Hassan's advice and see which wrestler would get an opportunity for a title match. The way this was going to work is that of all the wrestlers who chose to participate, the first man to get three wins would be declared the new top contender. It would be a random drawing but once a person's name is drawn, he will have to wrestle 3x before the next man would get a change. The wrestlers who agreed to take part in this were: Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, JBL, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels and Edge. The first name picked was Randy Orton. Here is how he fared:
Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle - Orton won
Randy Orton vs. JBL - JBL won
Randy Orton vs. Hulk Hogan - Hogan won
Orton's record: 1 win; 2 losses
JBL's record: 1 win; 0 losses
Hogan's record: 1 win; 0 losses
Angle's record: 0 wins; 1 loss
JBL was next. He already had one win against Orton so he only needed two more.
JBL vs. Randy Orton (from above) - JBL
JBL vs. Ric Flair - JBL
JBL vs. Chris Benoit - JBL
JBL won all three of his fights so he is automatically the new Top contender for the World Title. I am sure that Batista, being the Intercontinental champion, will have something to say about this. We will have to wait and see.
So long for now.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 10.4
Hello fans. Welcome back to the only newsletter to bring you the action packed news. We have a lot that has been happening lately so let's get right down to it.
Over in the CSWA, World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan has been claiming that there was no one that could defeat him. This prompted JBL to come out to the ring. JBL stated that he was truly the baddest man here and challenged him to a match...right here and now. Hassan, always full of himself, immediately agreed to a non-title shot.
JBL def. Hassan to gain title shot. JBL pulled out all the stops and beat the living hell out of Hassan. He even took out Davari in the process. This immediately granted JBL a title shot at the champion. The following night, JBL met Hassan for the World Title. In a non-surprising turn of events, Hassan retained the World Championship in the match against JBL. JBL hit the Clotesline from Hell early on but the STO followed by the brain buster suplex was all that JBL could handle and that ended any shot JBL had for the championship for now.
Donnie B then came out and told Hassan that he would have to defeat two hand picked wrestlers that Donnie B would draw at random. These, of course, were to be non-title matches and would result in a title match if they were to pick up a win over the champ. The first name drawn was Batista. Hassan made short work of the big man showcasing all of Batista's weaknesses. Hassan got the win with a roll up and his feet on the ropes. This then lead to the second match which was going to be against the Legend Killer Randy Orton. Orton was on the losing end of this match until his dad Cowboy Bob Orton ran in from the audience and while the ref was distracted, the Cowboy nailed Hassan between the eyes with his cowboy boot. Randy make the quick cover and was able to get the pin and a title shot against Hassan for the HWF World title. Donnie B was not going to let Hassan catch his breath so he immediately ordered the match for the title. Hassan def. Orton (w/Dad) to retain the HWF World Title. During the match, Cowboy Bob Orton got involved and ran Hassan into the ringpost. Hassan was counted out but the match continued after seeing Bob get involved. A brain buster suplex later and Hassan is declared the winner of the match and still the HWF World Champion.
In the back, Randy Orton has words with Donnie B. Randy asserted his claim saying that he should be the new champ. Donnie B disagrees because the HWF does not use the policy where a title changes hands on a countout. Orton lays his hands on Donnie B. Orton is notified that he is suspended pending an investigation.
Back in the CSWA arena, the Super Warrior comes out and states that after his training with the Ultimate Dingbat, he was ready for the big game. He issued a challenge to Mohammed Hassan for the World Title. Hassan comes out and basically refuses. SW counters with insults to Hassan's family and lineage. Hassan finally agrees to an actual title shot (this went against his policy of a non-title match first). Hassan, like in all his matches, beats the living crap out of SW. Just when it looked like SW was on his way to counting the ceiling lights, he tosses Hassan out of the ring. Hassan actually forgot he was back under CSWA rules and began walking away. When he finally realized what he was doing, he ran back to the ring but not before the ref counted to 10. This means that Hassan is counted out and the Super Warrior is the NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!! Hassan leaves in disgust but not before promising that he will get a rematch tomorrow night. While remaining in the ring, Super Warrior asked for a mic. He was granted one and the ramblings began.... "Speak to me Warriors! Yes, it is true! The Super Warrior is the NEW CSWA World Heavyweight Champion! As with all TRUE Warriors, the Super Warrior was created by destiny and bonded by belief. It is by this very belief that all my little warriors have placed in me that I have achieved this glory. Now together we will charge forward and lay waste to all challengers as Warrior Wildness conquers the world!"
Backstage, Eddie Guerrerro approaches Jeff Meyers and states that he is not happy with the way he is being used. Meyers states that he just received a phone call from Donnie B. Meyers asks Eddie if he wants to be traded. Eddie says yes. Effective immediately, Guerrerro moves to HWF and Orton to CSWA (with his dad).
Other wrestlers also inquire about trade possibilities. Those asking include CSWA's HHH and Booker T along with HWF members Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle. Possible trade in the works. We will keep an eye on this to see how it transpires.
The following night, Mohammed Hassan got his wish....the rematch for the CSWA World Title. The match didn't go as Hassan and Davari planned. The match once again ended in a countout with Hassan on the losing end. After Hassan had left the ring, SW managed to get a mic again (the backstage guys just aren't that quick).
"Hear Me Warriors! The time has come for us to face down our first challenger! Warrior's thrive on competition from WORTHY competitors but the CSWA rules dictate that I must defend my title against the former holder, the Normal known as Mohammed Hassan. He is obviously NOT worthy because of the fact that I beat him for this title due to the fact that he was so OVERWHELMED with fear after the beating I gave him that he refused to get back in the ring with me. I ended his reign of terror after I exposed him for what he truly is, a COWARD! There is no place for yellow dogs such as he in this business and it will be my absolute pleasure to remove him from it FOREVER!"
With this loss, Mohammed Hassan is officially traded to the HWF since he is still their World Champion.
More as it develops.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 11.1
Welcome back fans. The news just keep piling in so here it goes.
Jeff Meyers and The CSWA organization would like to officially announce the signing of two new individuals.....A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels. Mr. Meyers welcomed both men and told them that he knows they will make an impact.
The HWF also announced the retention HWF Superstar Christian. Christian was going to quit wrestling but agreed to be kept on if he would be used more. For staying with the fed, Christian will be granted a title shot at HWF Intercontinental Champion Batista AND a title shot at current World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan. He will be able to pick when and where his matches will take place sometime prior to the end of the year.
HWF Light Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon retains title against his opponent (no one of importance since we cannot remember his name) with help from Handsome G. G says he wants a raise because of his "awesome managerial style". Negronomicon disagrees and states he won because of his "talent" (a talent for getting counted out of the ring to save his belt). G states with his knowledge, he could challenge and defeat Negronomicon. Negronomicon agrees to a match to be held this month. Handsome G asks Negronomicon for the match right now and N states that he is just too busy with his recording contract (it looks like he is trying to be like Cena or that one American Idol wannabe - Tony knows who). Handsome G then attacked Negronomicon and left him a bloody mess in the ring.
Championship recap:
HWF
World: Mohammed Hassan
IC: Batista
NA: Ric Flair
LHW: Negronomicon
CSWA
World: Super Warrior
US: Big Show
TV: John Cena
CW: Rey Mysterio Jr.
AJ Styles and Daniels both arrive in the CSWA. During a backstage promo with John Cena and MW3, Daniels interrupts both men and challenges Cena for the TV title. Cena asks who he thinks he is and what makes him think he deserves a title match. Daniels immediately clocks Cena with a baseball bat and when MW3 tries to intervene, Daniels turns and beats the living SHIT out of MW3 with the bat. Cena was out cold and MW3 was a bloody mess. MW3 was immediately taken out in an ambulance. Daniels hops into the ambulance with MW3 in it and tosses out the driver. He then takes the ambulance to a bridge and lets the vehicle roll and fall off the bridge with MW3 in it. MW3 was eventually fished out of the river but was in such bad shape, it appears he will be out for at least the rest of the year. Meanwhile, Cena was able to recover but was too late to save his friend. In a vow of vengence, Cena agreed to a match with Christoper Daniels in a specialty match to be determined at a later date.
AJ Styles approached Donnie B (he was subbing for the vacationing Jeff Meyers) and said that Mr. Meyers brought him in to be a leader and the way this would happen would be for Styles to get a World Title shot (which he claims Mr. Meyers promised him if he signed) against CSWA World Champion Super Warrior. Donnie B had no way to verify this so he granted the match. This of course did not sit well with US Champion Big Show. Show stated that Styles needed to prove himself and challenged the newcomer to a non-title match. Styles agreed.
Show and Styles had a match which showed why Styles is going to be the MAN. Styles kept the Big Show off his feet for almost the entire match keeping the big man sucessfully grounded. Show managed to battle back but his weakened leg gave out when attempting a choke slam. Styles nailed the Style's Clash and got the pin over the Big Show. After the match, Show shook hands with AJ and said that he figured he was definitely ready to take on the World Champ.
An announcement has just been made that brings HHH over to the HWF in a trade for Kurt Angle. We wish both men the best of luck in their new homes.
We have been told that the next house show will be a combination of matches from the HWF and CSWA. Here is what we have been told will be on the card (subject to change):
CSWA World Champion Super Warrior vs the Phenomenal A.J. Styles for the title
HWF Intercontinental Champion Batista takes on Christian
HWF Light Heavyweight Champ Negronomicon takes on his former manager Handsome G.
HWF North American Champion Ric Flair will take on HHH
CSWA TV Champ John Cena takes on Christopher Daniels in a specialty match to be determined the night of the event.
CSWA US Champ Big Show will take on newcomer Kurt Angle for the title
CSWA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio will take on former champion The Texas Hammer Jay Mack. Mack stated that if he cannot defeat Mysterio, he will retire from the sport.
More matches could potentially be added at a later time.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 11.2
Hello Fans. Welcome back to our newsletter. As we mentioned in the last issue, the show held in Houston, TX would have the results posted here. It was a combined effort from both the CSWA and HWF. There was one change in the card and that was Negronomicon defending the Light Heavyweight Championship vs. Donnie B instead of Handsome G. Donnie B stated that he wanted one last shot at the belt. If he could not win the belt, he would retire as a wrestler; never to appear as an active participant again. This was something Negronomicon couldn't pass up so he postponed his match with his former manager for a later time. Here is a recap of the matches as they went down:
CSWA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio took on former champion "The Texas Hammer" Jay Mack. Mack stated that if he cannot defeat Mysterio, he will retire from the sport. Mack started off the match strong; like he did when he was the champion but Mysterio battled back to prove why he was the current champion. Rey was beating on Mack like a government mule until Rey botched a springboard smash and was caught by Mack who locked in a sleeperhold. He dropped to the center of the ring and locked up Rey. Rey had no where to go and was quickly fading fast. The ref raised Mysterio's hand three times and when the arm dropped all three times, the match was called and Jay Mack is once again crowned the NEW CSWA Cruiserweight Champion.
CSWA US Champ Big Show took on newcomer Kurt Angle for the title. Angle held his own against the 7 ft 500 lb giant but Show was just too much for the Olympic hero to handle. Angle appeared to be almost out of it after being on the receiving end of a huge foot to the face. Show picked up Angle and as he called for the chokeslam, Angle got a burst of power and hit the champ with the Olympic Slam. Angle made the cover and with his feet on the ropes, he got the pin and is the NEW US Champion.
The next match on the card was CSWA TV Champ John Cena taking on Christopher Daniels in a specialty match. One small issue was that the ref forgot to make it a specialty match and in under 6 minutes, Daniels got the win. Since this was supposed to be a specialty match, the title was declared vacant and would be decided in an Anything Goes match. Cena came out the winner and regained his belt but then Daniels attacked Cena and then piledrove him on the concrete floor. Daniels then took the belt, held it over his head and then spit on it and tossing it back to the unconscious Cena. I do not believe we have seen the last of this man.
Following this massacre was CSWA World Champion Super Warrior vs the Phenomenal A.J. Styles for the title. AJ owned the champ and was really beating him from pillar to post. SW had nothing left as Styles set him up for the Style's clash. All of a sudden, Christopher Daniels appeared and nailed Styles with a nasty chair shot. This allowed SW to regain his composure, toss an almost unconscious Styles to the ropes and execute a Super Powerslam. Super Warrior got the pin and retained his title. As Daniels left ringside, he kept yelling to the Super Warrior "You owe me and I will collect". Super Warrior was then escorted out of the ring before he could get on the mic and ramble on.
We just received status on MW3: He finally made it to the hospital but is not doing all that well. Updates will be sent out as his status progresses.
Donnie B announces that he received a call from Jeff Meyers stating that he is stuck in "hurricane alley" and will not be able to make it back anytime soon. Donnie B assumes duties as temp GM of CSWA.
Negronomicon must defeat Donnie B if he wishes to meet his former manager in the ring with the belt on the line. This reporter seems to think that he would prefer to lose it at this point since he can always get it back later. He wouldn't want to take a chance on Handsome G actually winning a title.
Donnie B announces the top three contenders for the Light Heavyweight title: Donnie B, Handsome G (only if Negronomincon retains), and Paul London. Title is expected to be defended against all three challengers prior to the end of the year.
The HWF Intercontinental Champion Batista took on Christian for the belt. Christian really proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that retaining him would be a good thing. He really took the match to the champ and right about the 15th minute, Christian nailed Batista with the One Man Concerto, covered him and got the three count. This led to the immediate rematch which Christian continued to turn on the offensive. About half way through the match, Batista decided he had enough and started tossing Christian around like a rag doll. One Batista bomb later and Batista regained his title. This led to a match in a steel cage between the two and Batista managed to control the match early on but was also the first one to bleed. Christian ended up getting tied up in the ropes and got the beating of a lifetime. Batista then planted the challenger with an Enforcer Spinebuster and that was all she wrote for Captain Charisma. Batista got the 3 count and then went to exit the ring. When he saw Christian wasn't getting up, he walked out of the ring and was declared the winner and STILL the Intercontinental Champion.
The second to last match of the night was HWF North American Champion Ric Flair taking on his old nemesis HHH. Flair held his own proving why he was not only the champ but the dirtiest player in the game. Flair went for the "T" grab (testicle) but HHH managed to hit the Pedigree and get a quick 3 count. This of course led to the immediate rematch which actually went on for over 20 minutes. Right at the 19 minute mark, HHH took out the ref and then went outside to grab his sledgehammer. The guy who rings the bell actually tried to stop him but was immediately taken down. HHH got back in the ring and nailed Flair with the sledgehammer. He made the cover but there was no one to make the count. The 20 minute mark then hit but no one was there to call the end to the match. Flair battled back and nailed HHH twice with brass knuckles. Flair then locked HHH in the Figure Four. HHH figured there was no ref so he laid down to rest. The ref recovered right away and counted HHH's shoulders down. Flair regains the belt but now we go back to the cage. This final showdown was no letdown. Blood ran everywhere. Both men beat the living snot out of each other. At the 18 minute mark, HHH went to the top of the cage and hit the B-52 kneedrop and got the pin. As he tried to get out of the ring (the moron tried to climb out of the ring instead of going through the door). Flair got up and pantsed him and then pulled him back into the ring. HHH landed hard and then Flair made the cover and got the 3 count himself. Now, it was a race to see who would get out of the cage first. HHH and Flair both scaled the cage wall and it appeared that Flair was going to get to the ground first. HHH saw this and just as he made it over the top, he dropped all the way to the floor; making it down one second before Ric. While HHH was groaning on the floor, the ref came over and raised his hand and declared him the NEW North American Champion.
The final match of the night was Donnie B taking on Negronomicon for the Light Heavyweight title in what could be Donnie B's last match ever. Handsome G made his way to ringside to watch the action. Donnie B and Negronomicon both hit their specialty moves multiple times throughout the match. However, tonight was Donnie B's night. He planted the champion with a Lights Out brainbuster and made the cover and got the pin. The rematch immediately started and just before Negronomicon could mount a defense, Handsome G pulled him out of the ring and bodyslammed him on the exposed concrete floor. Negronomicon tried to stay out of the ring but Donnie B tossed N back into the ring, connected with a neckbreaker and got the pin and is now the NEW Light Heavyweight Champion. Handsome G stormed the ring and attacked Negronomicon. After the beat down, he turned and challenged Donnie B. Donnie B responded that he will meet the winner between Handsome G and Negronomicon.
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: Just Signed.....the final PPV of the year will be headlined by Mohammed Hassan (HWF and Undisputed champ) taking on Chris "the Crippler" Benoit in a career ending match. One fall...the loser will retire from the sport. Provided Hassan can keep the title until then, we expect this to be the biggest match of the night. Stay tuned for more news.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 11.3 – Real Life News
EDDIE GUERRERO PASSES AWAY
- Today the wrestling world was shocked by the death of Eddie Guerrero. (Real Life) WWE.COM broke the story earlier today that former WWE champion Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis, MN., this morning. One of the most popular - and hated - wrestling Superstars to ever step foot inside the squared circle, Guerrero - 38 years old -developed an addiction to pain medication a couple of years ago after a car accident that nearly ended his life in 1997. In late 2001 he was arrested for drunk driving and WWE released him from his contract a few days later. After cleaning up himself from the 'demons', Guerrero was welcomed back in WWE in April of 2002 and has been on a roll ever since. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and his two daughters. No cause of death has been released.
In our (game) wrestling organizations (HWF and CSWA), Eddie has been a multiple title holder and was a pleasure to watch and had some fantastic matches and feuds.
Here is a glimpse into the career that was Eddie Guerrerro (courtesy of wwe.com)
The storied career of Eddie Guerrero (real life)
Eddie Guerrero was born into Mexico’s first family of professional wrestling in 1967. The son of the legendary Gory Guerrero, it was only natural that Eddie, along with his three older brothers, would pursue a career in sports-entertainment. With wrestling flowing through his veins, Eddie began his in-ring training at a very young age. In fact, Guerrero had mastered the dropkick by his third birthday.
Eddie moved from his family’s backyard ring to the professional circuit in 1987 when he debuted as “Mascara Magica” or “Magic Mask” in Mexico. After teaming with his brothers, Guerrero broke out on his own, crafting his skills in the lucha libre world. Eddie then moved on to Japan, wrestling as Black Tiger. It was there that Guerrero first met good friend Chris Benoit.
After moving back to Mexico full time, Eddie began teaming with El Hijo del Santo, who was the son of Gory Guerrero’s long-time associate El Santo. Eddie and Santo eventually broke up, with Eddie forming a duo with Art Barr. The pair would feud with Santo in one of the most heated rivalries in lucha libre history, which culminated in Guerrero and Barr losing a hair vs. mask match to Santo and Octagon in November 1994.
Eddie then moved on to ECW, where he gained his first full exposure in the United States. Not long after his ECW debut, Guerrero defeated 2 Cold Scorpio for the ECW Television Championship, a title he held twice before moving to WCW. Guerrero's ECW stay will always be remembered for the amazing match he had with Dean Malenko before leaving the promotion. After the match, which many consider to be one of the greatest ECW matches ever, the crowd showed their appreciation for Guerrero by giving him a standing ovation.
Guerrero spent four years competing in WCW. While there, he was a part of numerous memorable rivalries with the likes of Booker T, Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko, Ric Flair and nephew Chavo.
On Dec. 29, 1996, Guerrero defeated Diamond Dallas Page in the finals of a tournament to crown a new United States Champion. He also went on to capture the Cruiserweight Championship on two separate occasions before leaving WCW.
On Jan. 31, 2000, four new faces showed up on Monday Night RAW and shocked the sports-entertainment world. They were former WCW wrestlers Benoit, Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero – The Radicalz. The faction immediately got involved in a match between the New Age Outlaws and Al Snow & Steve Blackman, marking the beginning of Guerrero’s amazing WWE career.
Over the next five years, Eddie Guerrero overcame many obstacles to reach the top. In his first WWE match against the Outlaws, Eddie suffered a dislocated elbow, but returned to action in a short time. On April 3, 2000, he claimed his first piece of WWE gold, defeating Chris Jericho to win the European Championship. He would go on to win that championship one more time in 2001.
After The Radicalz went their separate ways, Eddie began a relationship with his “Mamacita,” Chyna. In fact, it was Chyna that Eddie defeated in September 2000 to claim the Intercontinental Championship. After their split, Eddie’s demons got the best of him. He subsequently took time off from the ring in 2001 to deal with his personal issues.
Upon his return in 2002, Eddie’s career skyrocketed to new heights. He won the Intercontinental Championship again in May 2002, this time from Rob Van Dam. Eventually, Eddie moved to SmackDown where he teamed with nephew Chavo to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship. He would win that championship three more times, as well as the United States Championship, but his greatest moment came in February 2004.
On Feb. 15, 2004 in San Francisco, Guerrero defeated Brock Lesnar at No Way Out to become WWE Champion. He had reached the pinnacle of the industry, and went on to headline WrestleMania XX against Kurt Angle. No one will ever forget the scene at the end of the show, when Eddie joined long-time friend Benoit in the ring to celebrate moments after Benoit won the World Heavyweight Championship.
Eddie later formed an alliance with another old friend, Rey Mysterio, and the duo would win the WWE Tag Team Championship in early 2005. This was Eddie’s final run as a champion, as the duo split up after WrestleMania 21 and began a bitter rivalry, highlighted by numerous breath-taking matches.
At No Mercy on Oct. 9, 2005, Eddie’s 38th birthday, Eddie squared off against a new amigo, Batista. He was unable to win the World Heavyweight Championship from the Animal, but their friendship was cemented when Batista led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Latino Heat afterwards. A little more than one month later, Guerrero competed in his final televised match on the Nov. 11 edition of Friday Night SmackDown where he defeated Mr. Kennedy.
You will be missed greatly Eddie. Rest in Peace.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 11.4
Hello fans, welcome back to the newsletter that gives you all the up to date info into the worlds of the HWF and CSWA. Let's get right to the results of this weekend's card. To this reporter's surprise, all of the championship belts were defended and we have those results below.
CSWA
Our first match of the evening had US Champ Big Show take on AJ Styles. Styles held his own until two giant big foot to face shots and 2 consecutive chokeslams took all the fight out of him. Big Show won the match in about 8 minutes. Kurt Angle came out immediately at hit the champion with the Olympic Slam. Angle slapped Big Show around a bit and stated that he was the next contender for this title.
Next on the card was John Cena defending the TV title against Christian. Christian looked good in the ring but was no match for the CHAMP. Cena controlled the majority of the match and in the end, finished off the challenger with the F-U. After the match, AJ Styles came out to congratulate the champ. Styles said that he wanted to be in the CSWA since this is where all the big dogs are. He considers Cena one of the top dogs and he asked to be considered as a contender for the TV title. Cena, being the great guy he is, agreed to a match against Styles. This match should take place at the next house event.
Following this match was Cruiserweight Champion "The Texas Hammer" Jay Mack coming out to the ring. Mack got on the mic and stated that he defeated a man who is undeniably one of the greatest cruiserweight champs ever....Rey Mysterio Jr. Mack had led the fans in applauding Mysterio for being the fantastic competitor he is. Mack said it was time to take on another great cruiserweight. He then announced his opponent for tonight...the HWF's own Tajiri in an interpromotional matchup. Both men shooks hands at the start of the match and then Mack went to work. Tajiri battled back early by locking in the Tarantula. After releasing it, Mack appeared to be hurt but did not know to what degree. Mack fought on like a trooper getting a couple of two counts over Tajiri. The end came after Tajiri spit the green mist and then connected with a thrust kick. Tajiri cover Mack and right in the center of the ring, got a two count. Tajiri then locked in the Tarantula again and this time Mack had no where to go and tapped out. Tajiri is the NEW CSWA Cruiserweight Champion. Mack had to be helped out of the ring by officials. We will have to check back in and see how he is doing. If Mack is well enough, Tajiri will offer him a rematch. If not, Mack will be sent over to HWF to recover. We should know more soon.
The final CSWA match was for the World Heavyweight Championship with the Super Warrior granting the request of Christopher Daniels and putting the belt on the line. Right out of the gate, Daniels hit the "Angels Wings" twice but it wasn't enough to keep the champ down. The Super Warrior battled back from the brief onslaught and showed everyone why he is the World Champ. SW continued to wear down Daniels until all it took was a simple Powerslam and the victory was granted to the champ.
After this match, Randy Orton came out and attacked the champ. Orton connected with a beautiful dropkick and as SW staggered to his feet, Orton connected with the RKO. SW fell out of the ring. Orton then got on the mic and said that he was here to help take this federation to the next level...similar to what he says he did in the HWF. He then challenged SW to a title match. SW didn't respond (or no one heard him since he was grumbling while out on the ground). Orton then tossed the champ back in the ring and handed the mic to the ref. Orton locked in a camel clutch and had the ref hold the mic up to the champ. Orton yelled at the champ to give him the match and just before passing out, he agreed to the match. It looks like Orton will be the next contender for the World Title.
After recovering, Super Warrior had this brief speech to give: "Christopher Daniels, you call yourself the Fallen Angel. I'll say this, after our match, you are now aptly named
HWF
Intercontinental Champion Batista agreed to fight two men tonight. He picked two names at random. He pulled out William Regal and Classy Travis Massie. He said that he would head out to the ring and meet Regal there. Massie, not one to take a back seat to anyone, attacked Regal with a trash can and then hightailed it out to the ring. Batista looked confused at first but then shrugged his shoulders as the match began. Based on his performance in the ring, Massie would have been better off waiting for the second match. Batista beat the living hell out of him. At one point, Batista tossed Massie out of the ring and while on the outside, Massie was attacked by William Regal who locked him in the Regal stretch. The ref finally turned around as Massie rolled back in the ring. Batista hit the Enforcer Spinebuster and that was all she wrote. Batista got the 1-2-3 and is still the Intercontinental Champion. Edge hit the ring and caught the champ with a spear and then a superplex off the top rope. Edge said it was his time to shine and shine he will.
Regal climbed into the ring after kicking Massie out of the ring for his match. This match only went on for about 5 minutes as Massie finally was able to get back up and nailed Regal with a chair allowing Batista to connect with the Batista Bomb and get the win. Regal and Massie will have a match to settle their feud.
Mohammed Hassan brought the HWF title down to ringside and told everyone in attendance that he was putting the belt on the line in a title match (with no non-title defense first) against a Superstar of gigantic proportions. Fans chanted for the Undertaker, Michaels and HHH but Hassan said that he was bigger than them all combinded. He then called out his challenger and it was none other than........RICO. Rico came out and took his ass-beating like a man. It didn't take long for the champ to eliminate the threat of Rico. Hassan ended up getting the win after locking on the STO and then turning it into a pin. Pretty impressive move on the champ's part. After the match ended, the lights went out and then the Undertaker appeared right in the ring. He came out of nowhere. He gave Hassan a big boot and then gave Davari the Last Ride. Both men hightailed it to the back.
Our next match was HHH defending his newly won North American Heavyweight Championship against Chris Benoit. Benoit still did not appear to be at his best and it was apparent when HHH connected with 3 Pedigree's in a row. He only was able to get a two count each time. Benoit did manage to battle back and lock in the Crippler Crosface but HHH always knew where he was and was able to make it to the ropes each time. As the time limit drew to a close, Benoit hit an awsome dropkick and followed it up with the 3 rolling german suplexes. Benoit went to the top rope and launched but missed the flying headbutt and landed like a wet potato. HHH was also down so the ref began counting. Just as he hit 8, the bell rang signifying the end of the match. The match was declared a draw.
Our last match was the culmination of many weeks of frustration between the Negronomicon and his new nemesis Handsome G. For the past couple of weeks, Handsome G has been interfering in N's matches causing the champ to be disqualified. N finally got fed up with it and in a match between himself and Paul London, Handsome G got caught and whipped like a government mule. As Handsome G left the ring, Negronomicon got a mic but before he could do anything, Handsome G was back in the ring and clocked the former champ with a chair. After regaining consciousness, Negronomicon stated that he wanted Handsome G in a match where he could not run away. He started rattling off different matches but settled on one.....a Dog Collar match. He said that he would treat Handsome G like the "bitch" that he is. This led up to tonight’s main event. This match was only 5 minutes long. Just before the match began, the Light Heavyweight Champ Donnie B came down and took a seat at ringside as the winner of this match was going to get the next title shot. Negronomicon was the first to use the chain as a weapon as the smashed Handsome G in the head with it and then tossed him out of the ring choking him with the chain. Handsome G managed to battle back and at the 5 minute mark, he leveled Negronomicon with a fire extinguisher and with his feet on the ropes, he got the pin. Donnie B got into the ring and said that since there was still time left before the show came to a close, he would give Handsome G is title match right here tonight. DB stated that since he was offering this match right now, the loser would have to be at the winner’s disposal at anytime. G agreed to the stipulation. Donnie B was no match for the former manager as Handsome G took the first fall early and then crushing DB in the corner with the Avalanche and making a cover to get the second pin and become the NEW HWF LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Handsome G took his belt and went to the back. Donnie B was left wondering what happened in the ring as the event came to a close.
The few matches that have been signed for at our next event include:
John Cena vs. AJ Styles for the TV title
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle for the US title
Tajiri vs. Jay Mack in a rematch for the Cruiserweight Title
Super Warrior vs. Randy Orton for the World Title
Regal vs. Massie
Batista vs. Edge for the Intercontinental Title
Hassan vs. Undertaker for the World Title
HHH vs. Christian will be for the North American Title.
Handsome G will take on the winner of a cruiserweight battle royal.
That is all for now fans. More info as it comes.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 12.1
Hello fans, we have quite a bit of information to pass along so we will break it down by CSWA news and then HWF news in the next newsletter.
Per the last newsletter, the following CSWA matches were had and we will bring you those outcomes starting with this issue.
John Cena vs. AJ Styles for the TV title
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle for the US title
Tajiri vs. Jay Mack in a rematch for the Cruiserweight Title
Super Warrior vs. Randy Orton for the World Title
CSWA TV Champion John Cena took on one of the newest acquisitions AJ Styles. Cena and Styles battled it out with no one getting a clear advantage over the other. Cena was able to hit a couple of F-U's early in the match but Styles, who apparently scouted the champ prior to the match, always was aware of where he was in the ring and either made it to the ropes or rolled out of the ring. Styles did hit the Styles' clash a few times but it was not enough to keep the champ down. Right about the 17 minute mark, Cena connected with an F-U right in the middle of the ring (he actually caught Styles in the middle of trying to hit a flying bodypress) and was able to get the pin. Cena retains his title and shook hands with the challenger and both left the ring at the same time.
CSWA US Champion the Big Show had to put his title on the line against the (self-proclaimed) #1 contender Kurt Angle. Show tossed Angle around like a rag doll. Angle was never truly able to get an advantage over the champion. At one point, Show tossed Angle out of the ring. Angle, deciding he had enough, left the ring and was counted out. Just as Kurt was making his way to the back, none other than the CSWA General Manager Jeff Meyers came out with microphone in hand. He told Kurt that not only was this match for the US title but it would also decide who would fight the World Champion Super Warrior after his match with Randy Orton. If Orton wins the title, then Orton will be defending the championship. Kurt Angle, of course, did not realize this match determined the #1 contender so he naturally threw a fit. Mr Meyers then had security escort Kurt Angle out of the arena.
CSWA Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri was once again asked to put the title on the line in a "goodwill" match against former champion Jay "The Texas Hammer" Mack. Mack, once again desperate for championship gold, put his career on the line. In what had easily been the best match of the night had Tajiri blind the challenger with the green mist. All of a sudden, Mack tossed Tajiri out of the ring. He then removed what appeared to be goggles and was not actually blinded at all. Mack then threw Tajiri into the ringpost followed by the steel steps. He then delivered a piledriver to Tajiri on the outside of the ring and then rolled back into the ring just as the ref counted to 10. Jay Mack was declared the winner and once again the NEW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION. Mack left the ring quickly without bothering to check on Tajiri. Tajiri was helped to the back and asked Mr. Meyers for one last shot. Mr. Meyers did not think it would "put asses in seats" but Tajiri stated that it would if it was a steel cage match. He pointed out that both men had won the title mostly due to the other being counted out. Mr. Meyers agreed and has officially announced the first of many matches for the end of the year PPV - Final Destination. One way or the other, we will have a real champ via pin or submission.
CSWA World Champion Super Warrior put his title on the line against Randy Orton. Orton claimed that since a nobody such as SW can win the title, he unofficially gave him the title of legend and said that this legend will be put to pasture just like the rest. SW really didn't have a lot to say which is a surprise and a relief. Randy treated SW like his bitch and actually picked him up by the hair after two attempted pin attempts. Randy then called for the RKO and hit it right in the middle of the ring. The ref counted 1...2...KICK OUT! Randy couldn't believe it. As Randy turned around from arguing with the ref, SW hit the challenger right in the gut and tossed him to the ropes and connected with the Super Powerslam and with the help of the ropes, was able to pin Randy and gain the win. Randy tried to have the match continue but SW delivered a huge right uppercut and Randy ended up on the outside of the ring. SW briefly celebrated then left the ring.
After the ring was cleared, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels came out and got on the mic. He basically complained that he was being misused and was demanding title shots. At this point, the lights dimmed and flickered and then went out but came back on immediately after. One thing was different and that someone was in the ring with Daniels. It was none other than MW3 who, with chair in hand, proceeded to beat the living snot out of Daniels. After busting Daniels open, he applied the Oriental Spike and put Daniels to sleep. Fortunately for Daniels, about 15 security guys stormed the ring and protected Daniels from any further punishment. MW3 took the mic and just before leaving, told Daniels "This is far from over". He left the ring without any other problems.
Super Warrior also approached Mr. Meyers and told him that as the current World Champion that he wanted a shot against Mohammed Hassan's Unified Championship. Meyers stated that he just got back and is trying to sort stuff out. Mr. Meyers stated that he wasn't sure when he could get the match signed but promised that it would be prior to the end of the year. He asked SW to be patient. SW snorted a couple of times and then left in a huff.
Stay tuned for the HWF portion of the news.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 12.2 – the HWF Portion
Hello fans, here is the HWF portion of the news.
Per two newsletters ago, the following HWF matches were scheduled and we will report those outcomes below.
Regal vs. Massie
Batista vs. Edge for the Intercontinental Title
Hassan vs. Undertaker for the World Title
HHH vs. Christian will be for the North American Title.
Handsome G will take on the winner of a cruiserweight battle royal.
As was previously mentioned, both William Regal and Classy Travis Massie had shots at the HWF Intercontinental Champion Batista. Both interfered in each others matches causing the other to lose. They then agreed to meet in the ring and settle their differences. This was one long boring match as neither man did much of anything up until the 15 minute mark. Regal nailed Massie with a pair of brass knuckles and Massie fell out of the ring. The ref noticed something on Regal's hand and starting giving him the third degree. Regal managed to get rid of the knucks just before the ref saw them. This gave Massie time to recover and roll back in the ring. Massie hit one new move he calls the "White Man's Slide" and knocked Regal out. Massie then made the cover and was able to get the 1-2-3. Massie was declared the winner and stayed in the ring to celebrate for a couple of minutes after kicking Regal out of the ring.
HWF Intercontinental Champion Batista had a score to settle with Edge for interfering in his match. The champ took control early and never gave Edge "an edge". After about 10 minutes of getting his ass kicked, Edge got out of the ring and decided he had enough. Edge was eventually counted out and the win was awarded to Batista. Edge didn't really seem to care.
New North American Champion HHH decided to finally give Christian a match. Christian didn't really do much as HHH beat him from pillar to post. HHH delivered 3 Pedigrees before finally deciding to pin the challenger. Unfortunately for Captain Charisma, he didn't get up prior to the 3 count and HHH was declared the winner.
Unified and HWF World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan took on former IC champion the Undertaker for the World Title. Undertaker took control early but the champ battled back like....well....a champ. Just as Undertaker was going for the Last Ride, Hassan reversed it and nailed his brainbuster suplex. Undertaker was down for about 5 seconds before sitting up. A "HOLY SHIT" chant rang through the audience and Undertaker got ahold of Hassan and nailed an "Old School" smash. Undertaker got Hassan up for the Last Ride and solidly connected. This of course prompted Davari to get involved and he managed to distract the dead man long enough for Hassan to roll out of the ring to catch his breath. Unfortunately for Davari, he was on the receiving end of a Last Ride that was supposed to be reserved for Hassan. Hassan got back in the ring and beat the Undertaker down from behind. He then locked in the STO but after almost 90 seconds, he just wouldn't give up. Davari then tossed the champ a foreign object and he clocked the Undertaker with it. After quietly getting rid of the object, he got Undertaker up and hit the brainbuster suplex once again and was able to the the 1-2-3 and was still the HWF World Heavyweight Champion.
Before Hassan could leave though, Donnie B came down and told the audience that at the next show, Hassan would be meeting the Super Warrior for the Unfied Heavyweight Championship. Hassan accepted the match but then said that he would have a stipulation of his own. At this point, he actually called out the Super Warrior who surprisingly was in attendance. He came down to the ring with Mr. Meyers in tow and a mic was given to the CSWA champ. Hassan told him that if he wanted a title shot, he would do it but he had some demands first. He told SW that if this was going to happen, then the CSWA belt would also have to be on the line. SW countered that if he put his belt on the line then he would also have to put the HWF title on the line making the match a "winner takes all". Rules would be dictated by HWF rules so titles will not change hands on a countout. Hassan came back and said "Why not make this a no countout/no disqualification match?" Donnie B and Jeff Meyers briefly discussed it and then said "Sure, why not." Hassan clearly wanted Davari in his corner but Super Warrior was one step ahead. "You know, this type of match can only be held in a specialty match to avoid any.....outside interference." Donnie B and Jeff Meyers agreed and pulled out a small bag with some paper in it. On the pieces of paper were different types of matches: Steel cage, Texas Death, Scaffold, Hell in a Cell, I quit, etc. Mr. Meyers drew one piece and announced that this upcoming match would be none other than an "I QUIT!" match. Hassan was not happy with this call but Super Warrior was clearly. Donnie B also announced that Hassan had one other thing that would be on the line in this match......his career. Hassan jumped out of the ring and started tearing apart announce tables, destroying monitors etc.
After everything was cleaned up, the final match of the night came and it was the battle royal to decide who the #1 contender would be for the HWF Light Heavyweight Championship held by Handsome G. Handsome G got on the mic and informed us that he would be participating in the battle royal also. In what surprised everyone, Donnie B, the Negronomicon and Handsome G all eliminated the competition in under 1 minute. Handsome G got on the mic and told Donnie B that since he was "his Bitch", he knew what he had to do. Donnie B agreed and then turned to the Negronomicon. Handsome G got out of the ring eliminating himself. Donnie B surprised everyone when he followed Handsome G out of the ring. This made Negronomicon the winner of the match and the #1 contender for the belt. The match began as soon as Handsome G got back in the ring. Unfortunately, it did not last long as Donnie B hit Negronomicon with a chair knocking him out. Handsome G distracted the ref as Donnie B got back in the ring and hit the Lights Out Brainbuster on Negronomicon. He then got out of the ring as Handsome G went to the ropes and hit the "Hogan Leg Drop". He covered N and got the pin. Handsome G was declared the winner.
Donnie B got on the mic and informed Handsome G that the night was still young and that he could defend that title one more time. Handsome G asked who and Donnie B got in the ring and signaled the beginning of the match. Donnie B hit Handsome G with the same chair he clocked Negronomicon with (who, by the way, is still down on the outside of the ring). Donnie B hit the Lights out Brainbuster and then a spinning neckbreaker on the champ and made the cover. At the 7 minute mark, Donnie B rolled up the champ after another neckbreaker and got the pin and was declared the NEW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Handsome G immediately demanded a rematch but was cut off by the recovering Negronomicon. Negronomicon started walloping Handsome G with tremendous rights and lefts. Handsome G was able to get away and run off thru the crowd. Donnie B told Negronomicon that he "had to do what he did" and told him that when Handsome G and Negronomicon meet again in the ring, he would put the title on the line against the winner. Negronomicon agreed to this but told him he would not forget what happened here tonight.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 12.3
Hello Fans. Most of today's news centers around the HWF but we will touch on the goings-on with CSWA World Heavyweight Champion Super Warrior.
Prior to his title loss to Donnie B, Handsome G had asked for a match against World Champion Mohammed Hassan. This match wasn't very long and Hassan basically killed Handsome G and pinned him early after hitting the STO. Hassan barely broke a sweat and even said so after getting on the mic. This of course, prompted GM Donnie B to come out and let him know that he wasn't going anywhere. Donnie B is aware of Hassan's wanting to meet someone in a non-title match prior to defending the title so that is what was going to happen next.
Hassan stayed in the ring but then hightailed out when he saw who the challenger was. It was none other than North American Champion HHH. When Hassan was finally able to get the courage to get in the ring, he actually held his own up against the cerebral assassin HHH. Both men fought hard and even with help from Davari, Hassan couldn't get the pin. HHH also hit pedigrees but couldn't keep the champ down. Finally, the bell rang signaling the end of the match. HHH was clearly ahead on "points" but Hassan said that he had enough. HHH felt that he proved himself and demanded a title shot. Hassan said that Benoit was really the next one in line and said that HHH should defend the NA title against Benoit and he would grant a title shot to the victor. Clearly, Hassan was hoping that HHH would win as he was going to do whatever it took from granting Benoit another title shot ever.
HHH vs. Chris Benoit for the North American title came next. Hassan remained at ringside and watched HHH beat the living hell out of Benoit. The only real reason that Benoit did so poorly is that Hassan took time to attack Benoit after he was tossed out of the ring. Benoit, after the beating he received, was really not in any shape to continue and all it took was one final Pedigree and that was all she wrote for Benoit. HHH has earned his title shot.
World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan defeated HHH in less than 4 minutes. Every time HHH tried to mount an offense, Hassan reversed it or Benoit would distract HHH long enough. At the 4 minute mark, Hassan connected with the brainbuster suplex and pinned HHH. Hassan left the ring while HHH and Benoit traded insults. A brief brawl ensued but was stopped quickly after security intervened.
We also have information on MW3. He would come out during Christopher Daniels' matches and lightly slap Daniels' opponent just blatant enough to get Daniels disqualified. This happened 3 times before Daniels called out MW3 and told him that it was time to end this. MW3 came out and told Daniels that this was going to be a Lights Out match. Basically, Daniels had no offense as MW3 kept beating the tar out of the Fallen Angel. The match came to a quick end but MW3 was satisfied at the beating he handed Daniels. He brushed off his hands and left the ring while Daniels had to be taken out on a stretcher. As Daniels was being rolled out, MW3 came back down, knocked down all the medical staff and took the gurney with Daniels strapped down and pushed it over the edge of the stage. Daniels now really looked like a "fallen angel". More medical staff came down and quickly got Daniels out of there. He looked pretty bad off.
Mr. Meyers announced that the next match of the night was going to be the Super Warrior defending his title against the US Champion Big Show. Super Warrior didn't appear all that intimidated. Even though Big Show tossed the champ around like a rag doll, he did manage to get the US champ thrown out of the ring. This of course prompted Kurt Angle to interfere and hit Big Show with an Olympic Slam on the outside of the ring. At the 6 minute, Big Show was counted out and Super Warrior was still the World Heavyweight Champion. Then Kurt Angle climbed in the ring and told SW that his time was now. Unfortunately for Angle, a very angry Big Show was recovering and just as the bell rang, he pulled Angle to the outside of the ring and chokeslammed him on the floor. He then picked up the unconscious Angle and threw him over his shoulder and carried him away. The match was called at the 30 second mark and Super Warrior was the champion....still.
Super Warrior got on the mic and called out Hassan. He said that since both of them where there right now, there was no reason not to have their I Quit match. A cage was quickly put up and as soon as Hassan got into the ring, the bell rang signaling the start of the match. At the 3 minute mark, Super Warrior got busted open pretty bad and then had his face grinded on the steel mesh of the cage. He quickly tapped. HUH? The match is already over? It couldn't have been that fast! Donnie B then came down and told Hassan that since this was under HWF rules, he would have to beat Super Warrior one more time. The match was restarted and went to about 9 minutes this time. Again, it was Hassan grabbed a piece of wood and shoved it into the gaping hole in Super Warrior's head. Super Warrior, who by this time had lost a lot of blood, had no other choice but then to tap out. Mohammed Hassan not only retained the Unified and HWF World Heavyweight Championships but is now once again the NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Medics came down and took the nearly-unconscious Super Warrior from the ring.
We expect the next PPV "Final Destination" is sure to be a hot one as soon as we get more matches signed. Till then......
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 12.4
Hello fans, welcome back to the latest installment of our newsletter. Quite a bit has happened in the last week so let's get to it:
HWF
Tajiri has been talking smack about the World Heavyweight Champion Mohammed Hassan. Hassan had finally gotten fed up with all the trash talking and agreed to put the HWF World title on the line against the career of Tajiri. Tajiri had managed to hold his own by locking in the tarantula a few times. In the end, he was no match for the champion and Hassan got the win. Tajiri is now officially gone from the HWF. He will not be allowed to go to CSWA. With Tajiri gone, Jay Mack has no opponent for the PPV. This is expected to change.
After the previous match, Shawn Michaels came out and issued a challenge to Hassan for a non title match. Michaels was truly the show stopper that he had always been but in the end, the champ, Hassan, was able to snag a win.
Mohammed Hassan then did something he had never done in the past. He decided to call someone out. He calls out Hulk Hogan and challenged him to a non title match. Again, Hassan was able to assert dominance and prove why he deserved the win.
GM Donnie B then came out and told Hassan that the night was still young and since no other wrestler was ready at this time, he would be given the next title shot at Hassan. In what was truly a massacre, Hassan, to no ones surprise, got the win.
Donnie B then stated that the final opponent of the night for Hassan would be none other than Chris Benoit. The match will be a lights out match. If Benoit wins the match in 20 minutes, he gets a shot at the HWF World Title; in 15 minutes - HWF and CSWA world titles; in 10 minutes - All 3 championships; under 5 minutes - all three titles and Hassan's career on the line. Benoit went right to work on the champ and never gave him time to catch his breath. Right off the bat, Benoit rubbed the champs face into the cage. He then followed it up with a crippler crossface. He finally went to the top rope and connected with the flying headbutt. Benoit got the win at the 3 minute mark. He will now get the match against Hassan at the end of the year ppv.
Jamal has been offered a contract. Jamal had claim to fame when he was the tag team partner to Rosey as 3 minute warning. It has not been determined as to which federation he will go to. He will probably team up again with Rosey. He is expected to appear in the ring starting next year.
Super warrior complained to Jeff Meyers about being cheated out of the title in his match with Hassan. He had a closed door meeting and when he came out, he had been awarded a non-title match against the champ. If he could defeat him, he would gain an actual title match.
SW defeats Hassan in 5 minutes with a Super Powerbomb to get a title shot.
Hassan retains title after 20 minute time limit draw. Meyers came out and restarted the match. No time limit but count outs still applied. Hassan gets the pin at the 22 minute mark.
Handsome G vs. Negronomicon had a battle to determine the #1 contender spot for the HWF Light Heavyweight Championship. The match they had was a Lybian Death Match. Negronomicon wins at the 22 minute mark. At the end of the match, Negronomicon broke out some tar and some feathers and proceeded to cover his ex-manager in the goo. Funny stuff.
Texas Hammer vs MW3 for the TV title. Mack wins the match due to interference from Christopher Daniels. Daniels attacked MW3 with a chair. They will have another specialty match at the PPV.
The Final Destination PPV matches that have been signed at this point are:
Donnie B vs. Negronomicon for the HWF Light Heavyweight Title
Mohammed Hassan vs. Chris Benoit for all 3 world championship titles plus the career of Hassan will be on the line.
MW3 vs. Christopher Daniels in a specialty match
Jay "Texas Hammer" Mack vs. Super Warrior for the Cruiserweight Title
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle for the US title
John Cena vs. AJ Styles for the TV Title
Travis Massie vs Handsome G
Batista vs. Christian for the IC title
HHH vs. mystery opponent who will make his debut at the PPV.
Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton in an interpromotional match
JBL vs. Ric Flair
Kane vs. Rob Van Dam
Undertaker vs. Booker T. in an interpromotional match
Just Added: Rosey and Jamal will return to tag team action. 3 minute warrning has stated that they expect to unveil their surprise at the PPV as well. Their opponents as of this writing are expected to be Carlito and Shelton Benjamin.
Our next report should be the PPV notes unless some major news surfaces before then. Good night.
HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter Year 1 – Vol 12.5 – Final Destination PPV
Hello fans. Welcome to our final year end PPV - Final Destination. We expect this to be one of the best that we have ever had so hold on because here we go!
Prior to the start of the show, Eric Bischoff is seen back stage. When questioned about his appearance at the event, he told us that he had something planned and that we would have to wait to see it.
Also, 3 new wrestlers have been offered contracts and they have all signed. They will all be making their appearances in this evening’s battle royal.
HHH’s opponent for this evening’s event will be none other than the show stopper Shawn Michaels. Of the three wrestlers signed, none were ready for the one on one competition and asked that they debut in the battle royal.
First match of the evening is the battle royal.
A battle royal is being held with all the wrestlers who are not scheduled for a match this evening. The last two individuals that are the final two men standing will each become the #1 contender for whomever is crowned World Champion in their respective federations. Depending on where they are drafted will depend on who they will go on to meet for the World Heavyweight Championship.
The eliminations are as follows:
Hardcore Holly by Val Venis
Jeff Jarrett by Chris Masters
Hurricane by Raven
Rico by Paul London (Rico goes on to turn in his resignation and quits wrestling)
Chris Masters submits to Sting’s Scorpion Death Lock
William Regal by Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy by Val Venis
Val Venis by Chavo Guerrerro Jr.
Sting by Chavo Guerrerro Jr
Rey Mysterio by Paul London
Chavo by Edge
Road Warrior Animal by Edge
Paul London by Raven
Viscera by Gene Snitsky
Tyson Tomko by Gene Snitsky
Raven by Gene Snitsky (with assistance from Edge)
Edge and Gene Snitsky are the last two men standing. Snitsky then throws Edge to the ropes and Raven pulls the rope down and Edge goes sailing out of the ring. Gene Snitsky is the last man standing.
(potential feud between Edge and Raven)
Rob Van Dam vs. Kane: A lot of fast paced action let to Van Dam connecting with Van Daminator early in the match but Kane popped up after the 2 count. Rob kicks Kane in the face and Kane drops again. Rob then goes to the top rope and hits the 5 star frog splash for the 1-2-3.
Jeff Jarrett then comes down and attacks RVD before leveling him with a guitar smash.
We cut to the back where there are EMT’s, backstage staff and our two GM’s Donnie B and Jeff Meyers. It looks like someone has attacked Shawn Michaels and left him a bloody mess. Shawn motions to Donnie B and whispers something. Donnie B says that he will make sure it gets taken care of. He tells Shawn to go get cleaned up and he will check back with him later. Donnie B heads off to go get cleaned up and ready for his match which is coming up next.
HWF Light Heavyweight Champion Donnie B vs. the Negronomicon: Before the match begins, Donnie B gets on the mic and questions the Negronomicon. “How could you do it? Why? What could possibly be in it for you besides self gratification? There was absolutely no reason for it. Negronomicon looks perplexed. “No idea chief what you’re talking about”. Donnie B continued “That food was for everyone. You didn’t have to go and eat it all, did you?” Negronomicon then realized that he had donut power around his mouth and quickly cleaned it up. “Oops. Sorry about that.” Donnie B started off the match with some quick jabs but Negronomicon countered with a flying elbow. Donnie B then hit two consecutive DDT’s. Negronomicon laid the smack down with a bitch slap but Donnie B hit his own and that stunned N. Negronomicon connected with a Doom Bomb but Donnie B caught him with a neckbreaker and was only able to get a two count. By this time, Handsome G made his way down to ringside. Donnie B hit a DDT and then another bitch slap which once again stunned the former champ. Negronomicon then fell down (probably due to how much food he had eaten). Donnie B went for a cover but did not see Handsome G holding down the leg of Negronomicon. Donnie B was able to get the pin and retained his Light Heavyweight Title. Handsome G then tossed Donnie B out of the ring and proceeded to whallop on Negronomicon. He threw N into the corner and hit the Avalanche. Negronomicon then flopped to the outside of the ring. Handsome G got on the mic and called his opponent Classy Travis Massie.
Handsome G vs. Classy Travis Massie:
This was a hard fought match that saw Massie control the majority of the match. Massie clearly was beating the snot out of Handsome G but G would not give up. Massie connected with “The Eraser” and then went for a pin. As the ref counted to 2, Massie got up because he thought the match was over. Clearly it was not. Massie complained to the ref but the ref just told him that he screwed up and didn’t complete the pin. This gave Handsome G enough time to recover and hit a low blow. Massie went down and Handsome G went to the ropes and hit the “Hogan Leg Drop” and got the 1-2-3. Handsome G won the match. Massie got up and started arguing with G. G then connected with two low blows and then threw him into the ring post. This busted Massie open and he just fell out of the ring. 4 refs then came down and prevented G from doing anymore damage. This of course left G open for an attack from behind by none other than the Negronomicon. Both men then started brawling and took their fight to the back.
Massie decides he wants to take a leave of absence. He tells Donnie B that he needs time to recover but he will plan to return. Donnie B tells him that he will be welcome back at any time.
3 Minute Warning makes their way to ringside and then announce their new Manager – Eric Bischoff. Carlito and Shelton Benjamin come down to start the match but they can’t agree on who will start the match. Carlito finally convinces Shelton to let him start and then get caught by a big foot from Rosey. Jamal comes in and starts beating down on Carlito but then he blind tags his partner who was not paying attention. Rosey and Jamal then double team Benjamin. Carlito, not one who wants to lose, also gets in the ring. The ref finally gets Rosey out of the ring when Carlito and Shelton start fighting. Eric, standing on the ring apron, had no idea what was going on so he then nailed the ref getting his team disqualified. Actually, the ref called the entire match a disaster and disqualified both teams. Carlito and Shelton continued to fight their way to the back. 3 Minute Warning left with their manager but not before Eric got on the mic and announced that he also signed one of the greatest wrestlers to his new stable. It was none other than Jeff Jarrett.
Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton w/Cowboy Bob Orton
Hogan took control early but youth won out against experience. Randy connected early with the RKO but it only gave him a 2 count. It did throw Hogan off his game as expected. Randy then connected with an awesome dropkick and covered Hogan for a pin attempt. Cowboy Bob then held down Hogan’s leg while the ref counted the 1-2-3 at the 6 minute mark. Hogan did get cheered by the fans and left after a minute of posing.
Ric Flair vs. JBL. Within the first 6 minutes of the match, Flair had been tossed out to the floor 5 times. Flair finally got tired of it and gave JBL a poke to the eye. JBL was hanging over the rope and then clocked Flair with a steel chair. JBL only got the 2 count. He then went to the corner while he waited for Ric to get up. He then came charging out and connected with the Clothesline from Hell. He covered Flair but Ric managed to get the shoulder up at the 2 99/100’s of a count. Bradshaw was pissed and almost clocked the ref. He continued to dominate Flair with bodyslams and elbow drops. Flair then reached into his trunks and hit JBL with a foreign object and JBL went down like a ton of bricks. Flair made the cover and at the 13 minute mark, was declared the winner of the match.
Undertaker vs Booker T was next. Hits the tombstone piledriver in the first 30 seconds but only gets a 2 count. Hits the Last Ride but Booker kicks out. Booker hits the Bookend but Taker kicks out. Booker goes for a flying bodypress and Undertaker catches him and turns it into a tombstone piledriver. The ref makes the 3 count but did not see Booker’s foot on the rope. The match was awarded to the Undertaker and Booker didn’t take kindly to it so he attacked the Undertaker and took him out with a scissors kick. He then pulled Taker to the outside of the ring and hit the Bookend through the Spanish Announce table. He left Undertaker in the middle of the debris. All of a sudden, Taker sat up and Booker ran off through the crowd. Undertaker followed him out. Booker makes it to the back and hops in his car and takes off before the Undertaker could catch him.
CSWA Cruiserweight Champion “The Texas Hammer” Jay Mack vs. Super Warrior was next. Mack also put his career on the line. As soon as the bell rang, Mack tossed Super Warrior out of the ring and then handcuffed him to the ringside barrier. Mack got back into the ring and waited out the count. The ref continued to count even though he knew SW couldn’t get back into the ring. He shrugged his shoulders when he finally counted to 10 and declared Mack the winner by count out. Mack then got on the mic and stated that he told everyone he would retire as the champ and that this is exactly what would happen. Mack will keep the belt until the end of the year then will have to hand it over. He will then be retiring at that time. He said he had a good run and when the time was right, he would return back to the ring and make even a bigger impact than he had done at this time.
This was then followed up by HHH vs. a bloody Shawn Michaels. Michaels was not fit to be in the ring. HHH owned the match which only lasted 3 minutes. HHH leveled his former friend with a sledgehammer busting him open again. HHH then connected with a Pedigree but did not go for the pin. Instead, he picked Shawn up again and hit another Pedigree. This time he made the cover and got the easy win. Donnie B then came down and accused HHH of attacking Shawn in the back. HHH of course denied it but when he was shown the video footage, all he could do was laugh. He said that Shawn was not in his league anymore and wanted someone who would be. Donnie B said it can be arranged. He told HHH that since he took it upon himself to put his opponent at a disadvatage before the match even began, then DB would put HHH at a disadvantage....He has to wrestle again. Donnie B motioned to the back and out came STING! Sting ran down to the ring and both men went at it. HHH introduced the Stinger to the Pedigree and Sting reciprocated by showing him the Stinger Splash, the reverse DDT and of course the Scorpion Death Lock. The match was pretty even until about the 6 minute mark when HHH couldn't get the upper hand. Sting then locked him into the Scorpion Death Lock and HHH TAPPED! HOLY CRAP! Sting just won the North American championship. This being the HWF, HHH got his immediate rematch and turned his game up a few notches. Both men battled hard till about the 12 minute mark and HHH then just took over. He hit 4 Pedigrees in 7 minutes and Sting kicked out of each and everyone of them. HHH was running out of time so he spit water at Sting. Sting shrugged it off and tossed HHH into the corner and nailed him with the Stinger Splash just as the time limit ran out. Sting is now officially the NEW North American Champion. HHH was pissed and tried to attack the champ after the bell but Sting just tossed him over the rope.
Batista defended the HWF Intercontinental Championship against Christian. Christian held his own but just wasn’t a match for the champion. Batista won the match with the Enforcer Spinebuster.
One of the most highly anticipated matches of the evening was CSWA TV Champ John Cena taking on A.J. Styles. This was huge as both men fought back and forth with neither getting the upper hand. AJ connected with the Styles' Clash but John of course dipped into his dirty bag of tricks and nailed Styles with the chain a few times. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to keep the challenger down. Before we knew it, the bell rang signifying the time limit had run out. Mr. Meyers came out and told the ref that CSWA rules apply - one fall to a finish. There would be no time limit. This gave AJ the needed boost he was so desperate for but with each executed move, he just couldn't pin the champ. At the 29 minute mark, Cena got Styles up for the FU and Styles actually reversed it and hit the Styles Clash for the 1...2...3. AJ Styles is the NEW CSWA TV Champion.
CSWA US Champion Big Show was once again putting the belt on the line against Kurt Angle. Angle started off the match with an Olympic Slam but the Giant powered out of it. Show connected with a chokeslam but Angle rolled out of the ring. Angle ripped at the face of the champ whereas Show introduced Angle to the taste of boot leather. Angle managed to get Show down and went right after the ankle lock. He didn't have it on all that long but it really affected the champ. Right at the 9 minute mark, Show charged Angle and his foot gave way and he fell into an exposed turnbuckle. Angle picked up the champ and executed the Angle Slam and got the pin. Kurt Angle is the NEW CSWA US Champion.
In a Peer 6 Brawl match, our second to last match of the evening was MW3 taking on Christopher Daniels. In what was not really a pretty sight, MW3 got in one shot. That was all. One shot. Daniels then kicked the crap out of MW3 almost making him tap when a piece of wood was shoved into his throat. Daniels came back and hit two consecutive Angel's Wings and pinned MW3.
The final match of the night was the most sought after event of the evening. It was also the shortest. As they lowered the Hell in the Cell, Benoit got out his buddy - Mr Steel Chair. As soon as the bell rang, Benoit beat the living shit out of Hassan. He then tossed Hassan back into the ring and locked in the Crippler Crossface. Hassan, beaten and bloody, passed out at the 30 second mark. Chris Benoit is declared the winner of the match and the NEW CSWA, HWF and Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. Hassan's reign of terror has finally come to and end and what a glorious end that is. As the paramedics were tending to the fallen Hassan, they noticed that his shoulder was severely separated. I'm no surgeon but it looks like he is going under the knife. It's unfortunate that his wrestling career is over as he was a good opponent to many and beat all of the top names (and some not so top names) in the business.
Thank you for reading. We will return again next year with the announcements of the new champions (all belts will be forfeit at the end of this year with the exception of the Undisputed Heavyweight Title).
Till then,

Hello fans, welcome to the final 2005 edition of our wrestling newsletter. In this edition, we will talk about those wrestlers who have retired, new acquistions that have been brought in, and the coverage of the 2006 draft.
Recap:
This year, we have witnessed the retirements of Tajiri, Jay Mack, Classie Travis Massie, and Mohammed Hassan. Mack did leave on his own terms wanting to call it quits at the top of his game (he retired as the champ); Tajiri was forced out by Hassan and finally Hassan himself at the hands of the greatest world champion to date....Chris Benoit. Massie felt he wasn't being used properly so he asked for his release. Massie had a 1 year no-compete clause as a stipulation in his contract that will prevent him from wrestling in any (major or bush league) federation in the world. Guess it's back to fast food for the Classy one. Jay Mack was told that he would be allowed back at any time and even though Mack stated that he appreciated the effort, he wanted to spend more time with his family. Can't fault the man for wanting to put his family above his career.
2006 will also bring (back) some familiar faces to the mainstream. Those new members are:
Rhyno
Dudley Boyz
Sabu
Ken Lashley (Colorado Springs hometown boy)
Shannon Moore
Billy Gunn
Konnan
As a joint effort from both the HWF and CSWA, it has been agreed that 2006 will also have the introduction of New World Tag Team Titles. There will be only one set of champions and the champs will travel and wrestle competitors from both federations. The brand from which the champs hail from will determine the rules of defending the titles. For example, if HWF competitors win the belts, all HWF rules will apply (one member can get counted out but will not lose the belts). If CSWA competitors win, CSWA rules (including losing the belts via countout) will apply. At all times, there will only be two permanent tag teams. Throughout the course of defending the titles, singles wrestlers will be thrown together to make things more interesting.
New Tag Team Division - Permanent tag teams
HWF
3 Minute Warning (managed by Eric Bischoff)
Dudley Boyz
CSWA
Edge & Christian
Kane & Big Show
New Rules have also been instituted in both federations: Only one person can hold a title at the same time with the exception of the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship (You have to be a world champion to even challenge for this belt). Members of a tag team cannot hold the tag titles and a singles title. They will be forced to drop one or the other.
The HWF light heavyweight championship has been retired (Donnie B the last official champion on record). The new title in its place will be the X Division Title. This will allow for a more diverse weight class and not just limit it to cruiserweights.
The draft then took place and at least for the next 6 months, the rosters will look like this:
HWF CSWA
HHH Kane
Benoit Big Show
Sting Batista
Booker T Randy Orton+
Hulk Hogan Kurt Angle
Shawn Michaels JBL
Undertaker Cena
Matt Hardy Edge
Christopher Daniels Ric Flair
AJ Styles Sabu
Rhyno Carlito
Shelton Benjamin Animal
Bubba Ray Dudley Christian
Devon Dudley William Regal
MW3 Chris Masters
Bobby Lashley Hurricane
Gene Snitsky Raven
Donnie B Chavo Guerrero
Negronomicon Paul London
Jamal* Shannon Moore
Rosey* Big Vis
Jeff Jarrett* Billy Bitch Face Gunn
Tyson Tomko Stupid (I mean Super) Warrior
Handsome G Hardcore Holly
Rey Mysterio Jr Gonad (I mean Konnan)
Val Venis
* - managed by Eric Bischoff
+ - managed by his father Cowboy Bob Orton
The New Year hasn't even started yet and we already have two feuds on the horizon. The first is Negronomicon and MW3. We think that the way this started was that Negronomicon went to MW3 (he knows that MW3 has pull with CSWA GM Jeff Meyers) to ask him to see what can be done for him to end up in CSWA. MW3 then went to Mr. Meyers and explained the situation. Mr. Meyers chose not to draft Negronomicon for whatever reason and Negronomicon chalked it up to the fact that Mr. Meyers wasn't willing to shell out for the extra padding Negronomicon required for all his matches. This then led to MW3 getting drafted by the HWF and as soon as the announcement was made, Negronomicon came out and hit MW3 with a chair stating "Tell that to your bitch!" MW3 wasn't hurt too bad and stated that Negronomicon would get his.
The second feud is going to be "Handsome G" Martinez against the Immortal Hulk Hogan. Hogan had just been drafted by the HWF stating that this would be his year to run with the world title and was then interrupted by Handsome G. Martinez stated that his "Hogan Leg Drop" was far superior to the original and gave Hogan a low blow. The Hulkster went down and Handsome G connected with the Hogan Leg Drop. Hogan was out cold. Martinez was then escorted out of the ring while medics tended to the Hulkster.
This week, we expect all the tournaments to crown new champions to take place. All of the new champions will be crowned and then expected to start defending their titles the first week in '06.
That is all for now. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
