Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_9.3

Hello fans. It’s Labor Day weekend. It was just announced that the next PPV will be called “The Asylum”. The matches set up so far will be listed below.

A brief CSWA bit of news…MVP and Booker both hold singles titles. They said there was no way they were going to defend both belts at the same show so in the news below, we will recap Booker’s US title defense and MVP’s TV title defense. The Cruiserweight title and the World title will be defended at the PPV unless we have new champions crowned and if there are, all belts will be defended.

We have a few pieces of news to cover from the NWWA and then will jump right into the CSWA matches.

First, Christian was made (not sure how Negronomicon pulled it off) to put his contract on the line against John Morrison. As Christian was on his way to the ring, the Posse attacked him while Morrison stood in the ring. After beating Christian down for a few minutes, they tossed him into the ring with Morrison. Christian tried to battle back but Morrison stayed on top. After a huge bodyslam from the top turnbuckle, Morrison made a swan dive and covered Crhistian for the 1-2-3. Negronomicon came out and said that Morrison would receive the next World title shot. He asked Morrison to give him the contract but when they looked around, the contract and Christian were gone. By the time they realized it, Christian was up in the stands with contract in hand. Negronomicon was screwed. He already announced Morrison as the person receiving the next title shot and since Christian was already penciled in for the PPV, he had no choice but to do the match right now.

Jeff Jarrett came out and told Morrison he needed to lay down. John replied that he doesn’t lay down for anyone. This prompted Jarrett to beat down on him prior to the match beginning. Finally the bell rang. The first thing Jarrett did was to clock Morrison with the guitar. The ref diverted his eyes so he did not “see” the cowardly move. Morrison battled back with a huge bodyslam and a cover but no pin. He went to talk to the ref and Jarrett came and hit him with the Stroke. The ref made the cover and the count 1-2-3. Jarrett retains the World Heavyweight Title.

The other piece of news revolves around the NWWA tag team titles. Haas and Benjamin were being granted one last shot at the belts. They were told that if they did not win the belts back, they would have to be let go. “NOOOOOOOOO” was their reply and they vowed to once again become champions that the Negronomicon could be proud of. Finley started off the match against Benjamin. Finley overpowered his opponent easily. Sting called for the tag but Finley wouldn’t tag him in. Haas was able to make the tag and Finley locked him in a sleeperhold. Haas made it to the ropes. Just as he broke the hold, Haas locked in the Olympic Deathlock and before you could say “Huh?”, Finley tapped. Quickly. Sting never had a chance to get into the ring. Benjamin and Haas are once again the NEW NWWA Tag team champions. Sting got in the ring and confronted Finley. Finley delivered a knockout punch to Sting and he went down. This prompted Negronomicon to come down. Finley started to yell at the NWWA owner but stopped when he got in the ring. Negronomicon pulled out a wad of cash and handed it to Finley. Finley smiled and nodded and left the ring after kicking Sting in the gut for good measure. Negronomicon said “Welcome back boys” to the World’s Greatest Tag team and they all left together.

In the back, Negronomicon was asked what was going on with Finley. “Finley knows who is running the show and if I want something done, it gets done. HE was more interested in the money than the belts and felt Sting would only be a glory hound. He was happy to accept my bribe.” Sting approached the GM. “I don’t know what the hell you think you’re doing but you just cost me the tag team belts. I want Finley in a match at the PPV. “ Negronomicon said “Fine, but with a stipulation. If you lose your match against Finley, you will be fired. Take that to the bank.” He then walked away.

The last bit of info was the newly crowned 2x Tag Team champions Benjamin and Haas taking on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiasi for their spot in the World Tag Team lineup. The new champs dominated the challengers and the match ended when Haas caught Rhodes with a face-plant suplex.

CSWA
The first match was MVP vs Bobby Lashley for the TV title. This match was even all the way. MVP’s quickness was countered by Lashley’s strength. After 9 minutes of back and forth action, Lashley connected with the Dominator and in the middle of the ring, got the 1-2-3. Lashley is the NEW CSWA TV Champ. He will be defending the belt at the PPV.

The next match up has Booker T vs Chris Jericho for the US title. Jericho took control early on but lost the ability for going for the pin attempt. As Booker started to battle back, Jericho got nervous and tossed Booker from the ring. Booker took the time to get counted out and even though he loses the match, he retains the US title.

The next match had the Steiners vs Donnie B and Mark Henry for the World Tag Team Titles. The stipulation is still in place that if the Steiners lose, Scott must go to the NWWA and Rick will have to retire. This was a short one. Henry started off against Scott. Scott hit a Frankensteiner on Henry, went for the pin but Henry powered out. This prompted Rick to come in and double team. They totally beat down the big man. Rick connected with a belly to belly suplex and made the cover and got the 1-2-3. This match was over in 3 minutes. After the match, Donnie B and Mark Henry mutually agreed to split the team and just go after singles titles.

CM Punk vs Mysterio for his shot at the US title. Rey had no intention of giving up his spot as he connected with a 6-1-9 right off the bat but only got a 1 count. Rey then tossed Punk to the outside but he made it back in quickly. Rey just continued to dominate his opponent and in 6 minutes, finished him off with a huge headscissors. Punk was not happy and tried to beat down Rey after the match. Punk went for a flying clothesline, Rey ducked and Punk went flying over the top rope. I don’t expect this one to be over.

The matches thus far:
Jeff Jarrett vs Christian for the NWWA world title in a steel cage
Carlito vs Kane for the IC title
Chris Masters vs Chavo Guerrero for the NA title
