Hello fans. We have some huge news from the CSWA. At the last show, William Regal came out. “Well, I have some news that I wish to share with all of you. This is news that will turn the world of professional wrestling on its ear. This news is so great that I have actually been forbidden to say anything on the subject. In fact, our illustrious owner Jeff Meyers wanted to provide that information himself so without further ado, I give you the owner of the CSWA, Jeff Meyers.” At this time, Jeff appeared on the big screen. “Thanks William. I appreciate you letting me pass this along. Well, it has been a long time coming. The CSWA, with the help of the great William Regal, has signed possibly the greatest acquisition ever. This is bigger news than Kurt Angle returning. This is bigger than our signing of Mohammed Hassan. Ladies and Gentlemen…This person we have signed is bigger than life He single-handedly brought professional wrestling to the mainstream. If it were not for this person, wrestling would not be what it is today. I present to you now, the greatest wrestler to ever step into the ring…..the IMMORTAL HULK HOGAN!” At this announcement, Hulk Hogan appeared from behind the curtains and posed for the crowd while the song “Real American” played. Hogan posed, shook hands and high-fived with the fans as he made is way down to the ring. It was extremely emotional. Hogan was handed a mic. “Thank you. Thank you. Well brother, the immortal one is BACK. You wanted me back in the ring and here I am. I have signed a new agreement with the CSWA and I am here.” The fans exploded with applause. Hogan waited for them to calm down a bit before continuing. “I have been away for so long. I missed the ring. I know I missed you, the fans. I needed to get myself back in shape; mentally and physically. I needed to wait till I was ready and when I was, the CSWA was there to support me in my return to the ring.”
At this time, you hear clapping (mocking) from one individual standing at the top of the ramp. It was MW3. He had a mic too. “Well, welcome back Hulk. Never thought I’d see you step foot in a ring again. What are you here for? Do you have something to prove? Well, I’ll tell you this. The CSWA is made up of the greatest wrestlers in the business. We are all here busting our asses and the last thing we need is for some washed up-has been to make waves and disrupt the flow we have going on here. Now, I’m not here to ridicule you or anything but I sincerely hope you are here to make things better for everyone and not be the “glory hound” that we all know that you are used to being. “ Hulk interrupted him here. “Who are you? And what makes you think you can come out here and disrupt my addressing the fans?” MW3 continued “My name is MW3. I have been with the CSWA since its conception. I would like to think of myself as the “rock” of the company. I’m not a heavyweight. I’m just a tough SOB trying to make it in this cut-throat sport just like anyone else.” Hulk resumed “Well Brother. I must say this, brother. You have certainly gotten the attention of this, how did you put it ‘washed-up has been’ . You say that you are the rock of the CSWA brother? Well, I am here to tell you that the Hulkster is here to stay…brother. I am looking for a challenge and I think you would be a great place to start. Now, I know that the PPV just happened and I’d like for my first match to be at the next PPV. What do you have to say about that brother?” MW3 said “Hulk, it would be a pleasure to meet you in the ring for your first CSWA match. I accept.” MW3 made his way down to ringside and got in the ring. He then shook Hulk’s hand and as he turned to leave, Hogan clotheslined him from behind. He then stomped on him, picked him up, threw him into the ropes and hit a big foot to face. He then bounced off the ropes and connected with the leg drop. All of a sudden, the fans turned on Hogan. They began to boo him. Hogan just posed in the ring flexing and putting his hand to his ear just soaking it all in. He then left as two refs made their way to the ring to check on MW3. He was ok and was able to walk out on his own. I am sure that MW3 will have something to say about this.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.9 EODRF News
Well, it turns out that the EODRF Champion Hulk Hogan decided he didn’t want to sit around and wait to defend his belt so he gave Curt Hennig his match. Hennig started off strong and even went for a pin attempt before Hogan had any idea what was happening but that was it for Hennig. Hogan took over and showed why he is the Immortal one and in 17 minutes, Hogan pinned Hennig after hitting the leg drop. Arn Anderson is next in line for a title shot. Hogan called out Arn and told him that his title match was now. Arn put up a decent fight but was not able to battle back from the Python Headlock as Hogan adds another win under his championship. Hogan the put the title on the line against his old friend Mr. T. This match only (thankfully) went 10 minutes. After hitting T with a power forearm smash, Hulk made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Hogan calls out his next opponent is Road Warrior Animal. This match went a little longer than the last but Animal did not perform as he had in the tournament. After Hogan connected with a throat lift from the corner turnbuckle and pinned him. Hogan then took on the former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura. This one took even longer at 19 minutes. It was really a snoozefest as the match was about Hogan and the amount of punishment he could deliver on Jesse. Hogan got the win after hitting a double elbow smash. The next match against Wahoo McDaniels was the shortest one as it only took 30 seconds for Hogan to lock in a bearhug and watch Wahoo TAP. Good Lord. Next Hogan took on former Mega-Powers partner Randy “Macho Man” Savage. He is hoping Savage can do better than the others. At 10:30, Savage tossed Hogan out of the ring and he got counted out. With this title, belts do not change hands but Savage will have a rematch. It was decided that Hogan would have to defend the title in a steel cage. As the cage lowered, the match began. The match ran a long 21 minutes. Hogan pinned Savage and tried to escape the cage but Savage stopped him. He battled back but never was able to keep Hogan down. Hogan then escaped out the door to win the match and retain the belt. Hogan has one last match and it’s against Lex Luger. Lex gave Hogan the best run for his money staying on top of the champ. In the end, Hogan resorted to tossing Lex out of the ring where he got counted out. Hulk Hogan has had 9 successful title defenses. He now gets to take a break while the next tournament happens and a new top 10 is created.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.8
In a quick update, we have a new EODRF Champion. In 9 minutes, Hulk Hogan defeated Billy Jack Haynes with a leg drop to become the new champion. Hogan will defend the belt next against Curt Hennig. Once the top 10 has been exhausted, a new tournament will be held with those particpants who did not wrestle in the last tournament and those results will be tallied to see who will qualify for a shot at the championship currently held by Hulk Hogan. Will he hold the title longer than a single defense? Only time will tell.
Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.7 - Crazy Nights PPV
Welcome fans to our October PPV “Crazy Nights”. We expect this evening to indeed be crazy. The first bit of crazy news is that we found out where the NWWA was holding their show. Get ready for this…It’s at a bingo parlor in Kingwood, Tx. Where the hell is that? Well, I did some looking and its located about 30 miles north of Houston. Seems like an odd place for a PPV but from what we know about the ever-increasing debt mounting from the daily operations of the NWWA, it looks like this is all he could get. The second piece of info was regarding Mohammed Hassan. He went to complain to William Regal who just told him to get lost. Hassan said that Mysterio shouldn’t be in the running at all for the Cruiserweight title since he already holds the US title. Mysterio walks in and hears Hassan’s bitching. “You know homes, if you think you can beat me, hell, I’d put my “spot” on the line right now”. Hassan said “You’re on. I’ll see you in the ring”.
The first match is Rey Mysterio putting his spot for the Cruiserweight title on the line against Mohammed Hassan. As soon as the bell rang, Rey hits the 6-1-9 and non-chalantly rolls Hassan up. Hassan reverses it and holds the ropes while pulling on Rey’s tights and the ref counts 1-2-3. Hassan has stolen the Cruiserweight match from Mysterio. Hassan will meet MVP and that match is up next.
MVP was ready for this match, in fact, I think he preferred it to meeting the US champ instead. Hassan started off strong but MVP showed his resiliance and why he was the Cruiserweight Champion. Hassan kept up as long as he could but in the end, he fell victim to a flying dropkick. MVP retains the belt. Before MVP can leave the ring, Donnie B comes out. He tells MVP he’d like to cash in his #1 spot now. MVP obliged. “Before the match begins” Donnie B says, “ I need to introduce my new MANAGER.” Out comes Taz. The fans are shocked. Why is Donnie B teaming up with Samoa Joe’s manager? “You fans may be wondering why I have chosen Taz as my manager. I don’t think it’s all that hard to figure out. Taz produces results. I need those if I want to be Cruiserweight Champion. I was informed that prior to this match, I am on a probationary period. His willingness to guide me to bigger and better heights depends on my performance in this match. With that said, let’s get this moving.” Taz interferred early and that set the stage for this match. Donnie B was in total control for the first 6 minutes of the match. After MVP connected with a superkick, the match swung in his favor. MVP battled back and tossed DB out of the ring. DB went to consult with his manager and made it back in by the 7 count. After giving MVP a vicious eyerake, he bitch-slapped him twice. MVP went down. Donnie B made the cover and with a little help from the outside of the ring, the ref counted 1-2-3. We have a NEW Cruiserweight Champion – Donnie B. Taz congratulated Donnie B on his win, handed him the belt and then Donnie B went to the back.
For some reason, Taz stayed in the ring. He said that in the following match, he was managing another new wrestler. The next match was TV Champ Bobby Lashley taking on the Big Show. Show came out first and got into the ring. He walked up to Taz and shook his hand. Out next came Bobby Lashley. Big Show had a great look of concern on his face after Taz walked over to the corner of the TV champ. Wow, Lashley is managed by Taz too. Show immediately tossed Bobby into the crowd but he made it back in by the 8 count. Show hits a big foot to face and Bobby hits a shoulder tackle and Show falls out of the ring. He is back in by 5. After Taz interferred for the second time, Show went after him but never got his hands on the manager. Show came back into the ring and hit a big foot to face. It didn’t phase Bobby as he connected with a Dominator and a 2 count. Bobby hit a flying tackle but Show responded by tossing Bobby to the floor for the 6th time in this match. Bobby and Taz got fed up and walked out. Bobby Lashley got counted out so Big Show wins the match but not the belt.
The next match had Rey Mysterio Jr defending the US title against Shawn Michaels. Rey started off like a rocket. Shawn had no idea what was happening. Shawn then turned the tables on the champ by hitting a flying bodypress out of nowhere and got a 2 count. Rey hits a reverse chop and Shawn tosses him out of the ring. He is back in by 7. Another reverse chop from Rey stops Michaels in his tracks. A flying headscissors from Rey and a shoulder smash by Shawn. A sunset flip from Shawn and he goes for the pin but barely gets a 2 count. Shawn uses an arm drag and twist and turns it into a pin. Rey almost didn’t get his shoulder up in time. Rey connects with a reverse chop but Shawn takes a snap mare and turns it into a pin and a 2 count. Rey finally manages to hit the 6-1-9 but Shawn kicks out a two. Rey hits a flying dropkick but Shawn goes to the ropes and hits a Rocker Slam. They trade a few moves back and forth then Shawn hits a shoulder smash and goes for the pin but Rey kicks out. Shawn hits another sunset flip but Rey manages the 6-1-9 again. Shawn barely kicks out in time. Rey hits a Hurricanrana but only gets a two count. It’s down to the final minute of the match and Shawn throws Rey out of the ring but he hangs on and swings right back in. The bell sounds and this match is a draw. Rey and Shawn shake hands. William Regal comes out and says that Shawn performed “fabulously” and said that he would get a rematch but he would first have to wrestle Randy Orton. If Orton wins, he keps his spot. If Shawn wins, Randy will be moved down and Shawn will be next in line.
The next match on the card is for the World Tag Team titles with the champs Cryme Tyme taking on the NWWA’s Bruiser and Tommy Dreamer. Shad started off against Tommy Dreamer. Cryme Tyme is a double team for 3 minutes but after the first, Dreamer reversed a sleeperhold and hit Shad with a DDT. They tried another double team but Dreamer rolled out of the way. JTG is tagged in. Dreamer hits a neckbreaker on JTG and tags out. JTG hits the Bruiser with a branding iron (WTF) but Bruiser hits the Falcon Arrow and gets a 2 count. JTG tags out and Shad is back in. A forearm smash and a body stop from Shad gets him a two count. A hip toss from the Bruiser and he tags out. Shad chokes Tommy on the ropes and tries for a pin but gets a one count. He tags out. After locking a longhorn crab on Dreamer, JTG goes for a pin and gets a two count. JTG goes to the ropes and jumps off and stomps on Dreamer’s head. As he makes the cover, Shad runs in to keep the Bruiser out. The ref counts 1…2…3. The winners of the match and STILL World Tag Team Champions….Cryme Tyme.
Samoa Joe got his rematch with World Champion Booker T. One stipulation that was added was that the time limit would be changed to 30 minutes and there can be no DQ or Count out. Joe immediately locks in the Rear Naked Choke but Booker is flailing around and hits Joe with a smash breaking the hold. Booker tosses Joe out but he gets back in at the 8 count. Booker locks in a sleeperhold and Taz gets involved and chokes Booker on the bottom rope. Joe hits a running clothesline and Booker hits a headbutt. Joe reverses a chinlock and hits a modified camel clutch. Booker battles back with a sleeperhold and Joe hits a big boot. Taz gets involved again by verbally antogonizing the champ. Booker tosses Joe out of the ring but Joe gets right back in. Joe gets tossed again but he doesn’t make the 10 count but it doesn’t matter. He finally gets back in the ring. Taz is yelling at Booker again but Booker ignores him and locks Joe in a sleeper. Booker hits a Bookend but Joe gets up and locks in the Rear Naked Choke but Booker won’t tap. Booker hits a spinning smash and Joe goes to Taz who hands him a foreign object. Booker hits a dropkick and Joe hits him with the foreign object and a big boot. Joe hits Booker again with the FO and a running knee but Booker pulls out a scissors kick and goes for the cover 1….2…..3 BUT WAIT, Taz got Joe’s foot on the ropes at the last minute. Booker apparently forgot that the time limit was extended so he stopped wrestling wondering why the bell hasn’t rung. Joe came up from behind and hit a muscle buster. He covered the champ and the ref counted 1……2……3. We have a NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION and his name is Samoa Joe!
**Editors note** The match for the NWWA world title was supposed to take place at the bingo parlor in Kingwood, Tx but Steiner refused to step foot in that god-awful town. The match was then held “closed circuit” which didn’t help with the Negronomicon’s ever-growing stack of bills so the match between Christian and Steiner was held in a different bingo parlor in Oakland, CA in front of NO audience (except the Negronomicon and the Posse). This was sooooo sad. Before the match began, the entire Posse attacked Christian and beat him down so bad he couldn’t get up. Negronomicon called for the bell and Christian managed a face slap before Scott locked in the Steiner Recliner and Christian, who was in no shape to do anything, had his hand raised and dropped 3 times. The ref signalled for the bell and awarded the match and the NWWA World title to Scott Steiner. UNBELIEVABLE.
Steiner did make his way out to Chicago where he took on Samoa Joe to determine who would go on to meet the Negronomicon. Steiner was totally in control of this match and even with Taz offering advice, it did no good to the newly crowned CSWA World Champion. Steiner hit everything including a few Frankensteiners and belly to belly suplexes but wasn’t able to pin Joe. Joe tossed Scott out of the ring but he would get right back in. After getting his ass beat, Joe tossed Scott out of the ring again. Taz then kicked Scott in the groin but all that did was irritate the steroid freak. Scott chased Taz around the ring and ended up getting counted out. He didn’t even realize it. The winner of the match by countout is Samoa Joe. Joe will get to take on the Negronomicon for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Uh-oh.
We cut over to Kingwood, TX and the NWWA PPV. Negronomicon just got done watching the match with Joe and Steiner and he looks really worried. We already know that the Steiner/Christian match ended in less than a minute after a beat-down from the Posse and the Steiner Recliner. Christian just passed out and wasn’t able to continue.
The first match of the NWWA card is Santino defending the X-Division title against Jay Lethal. Before the match began, Negronomicon came out and annouced that whenever a member of the Posse would be wrestling, he will be there as their “manager” (this came after the Steiner/Samoa Joe match). Jay Lethal had something to prove here as he was “robbed” of the X-division title by the Negronomicon. He began to take his frustrations out on Santino. Somehow, in the first 4 minutes of the match, Santino locked in an abdominal stretch. Negronomcion jumped up on the ring and started pulling on the arm of Santino for extra leverage. Lethal then tapped out. Santino wins the match and retains the X-division title. Negronomicon congratulates Santino, gives him his belt and sends him on to the back.
The next match is Chris Masters defending the North American title against Matt Hardy. As soon as the bell rang, Matt yelled at Negronomicon to stay out of his match. N, of course, did not like that. Hardy took the fight to the NA champ and was rockin’ and rollin’ all over the steroid fool. Negronomicon didn’t get involved but offered good advice to the champ. Hardy went for a fist drop from the top rope and got a 2 count. Negronomicon got up on the ring and distracted Hardy. Masters then locked in the Masterlock and Hardy passed out. Chris Masters retains the North American title via submission.
Carlito vs. John Cena is up next for the Intercontinental title. Carlito went for a running clothesline but that was a distraction as Negronomicon got on the ring and hit Cena from behind with a loaded newspaper (I think it was a Wall Street Journal). Carlito made the cover and got a 2 count. Carlito then hit a back-cracker but did not go for a pin. Cena battles back and hits a side suplex and Carlito hits a cabana groin shot. They took turns stomping each other in the gut. Cena tosses Carlito out of the ring and it looks like he’s gonna run for it but Cena catches him and brings him back to the ring. Cena goes to rap with the fans and Carlito hits another groin shot. Carlito tosses John out of the ring but he is back in at the 6 count. Carlito walked right into the F-U and Cena made the cover but Negronomicon put Carlito’s foot on the ropes. Negronomicon grabs Cena’s chain and throws it in but Cena intercepts it and hits Carlito with it. He goes for the pin but gets a 2 count. Carlito then spit apple in Cena’s face and shoved him out of the ring. Negronomicon pulled out handcuffs and cuffed Cena to the ringside barrier. He dropped the keys just inches out of Cena’s reach. The ref kept counting and John could do nothing. He ends up getting counted out. Carlito retains the IC title. Negronomicon gets into the ring to celebrate with Carlito and John, on the outside, starts to “hulk” up. He ends up tearing apart the guard rail and Carlito and the Negronomicon, in total amazement, run to the back while being chased by Cena.
The next to last match was the World’s Greatest Tag Team defending the NWWA Tag Team titles against Golddust and Stevie Richards. This was the shortest match of the night. Golddust hit a ddt on Haas and would have gotten the pin if Shelton didn’t make the save. Shelton and Haas then double-teamed Golddust for 3 rounds and injured Stevie Richards. Richards got T-bone suplexed through the Spanish announce table. Back in the ring, the champs hit Goldy with clotheslines, suplexes and Haas locked in the olympic deathlock. Golddust tapped. In 3 minutes, the champs retained their belts.
The Posse were all victorious. One final match remained…..Negronomicon vs. Samoa Joe for the Undisputed Heavyweight Title. Even though Joe has Taz in his corner, Negronomicon has the entire Posse in his. 7 on 1 (with a manager) are not that great of odds. Joe locks in a camel clutch but N battles out of it and hits a doom bomb. Another doom bomb is followed up by Joe’s camel clutch. Joe locks in the Rear Naked Choke but N makes it to the ropes. Joe locks in the RNC again and N would have tapped if it weren’t for Benjamin’s save. Negronomicon bitch slaps Joe and he responds with a Muscle Buster and nearly a 3 count. Joe locks in a sleeperhold and drops it into a pin attempt. Charlie Haas tries to make the save but is thwarted by Taz. Shelton makes it in again to make the save. Negronomicon then throws Joe out of the ring and the posse attack him. A flying shoulder tackle from Benjamin, a belly to belly suplex by Haas, a Steiner Recliner from Scott, a hammer shot from Masters, a leg smash from Santino, and a stomp to the face from Carlito. Joe makes it back in and N hits the Arm whip of Doom and goes for a cover but only gets a one count. Taz tries to intimidate the ref but N hits a dragon suplex for a 2 count. A bitch slap and a quick cover only gets N a 2 count. Joe locks in the RNC but N makes it to the ropes. Another Dragon Suplex from Negronomicon and he goes for the cover. The Posse all surround Taz so he cannot interfere. The ref counts 1-2-3. Negronomicon is the winner and still the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. Taz takes a chair and starts whalloping on the Posse. They all run off. Oops, they forgot that Negronomicon was still in the ring with Joe. They all look on in horror. Joe hits another Muscle Buster on Negronomicon. He drops a knee to N’s face. He locks in the Rear Naked Choke and Negronomicon is tapping out all over the place and no one is daring to make the save. Finally, Joe drops the lifeless form of the Negronomicon and poses above him holding the Undisputed Championship. He leaves the ring with it and he and Taz head out through the crowd as the Posse rush in to check on their fallen leader.
This ends the show. I am sure there will be some major fallout over this.
The first match is Rey Mysterio putting his spot for the Cruiserweight title on the line against Mohammed Hassan. As soon as the bell rang, Rey hits the 6-1-9 and non-chalantly rolls Hassan up. Hassan reverses it and holds the ropes while pulling on Rey’s tights and the ref counts 1-2-3. Hassan has stolen the Cruiserweight match from Mysterio. Hassan will meet MVP and that match is up next.

We already know that the Steiner/Christian match ended in less than a minute after a beat-down from the Posse and the Steiner Recliner. Christian just passed out and wasn’t able to continue.
The first match of the NWWA card is Santino defending the X-Division title against Jay Lethal. Before the match began, Negronomicon came out and annouced that whenever a member of the Posse would be wrestling, he will be there as their “manager” (this came after the Steiner/Samoa Joe match). Jay Lethal had something to prove here as he was “robbed” of the X-division title by the Negronomicon. He began to take his frustrations out on Santino. Somehow, in the first 4 minutes of the match, Santino locked in an abdominal stretch. Negronomcion jumped up on the ring and started pulling on the arm of Santino for extra leverage. Lethal then tapped out. Santino wins the match and retains the X-division title. Negronomicon congratulates Santino, gives him his belt and sends him on to the back.
The next match is Chris Masters defending the North American title against Matt Hardy. As soon as the bell rang, Matt yelled at Negronomicon to stay out of his match. N, of course, did not like that. Hardy took the fight to the NA champ and was rockin’ and rollin’ all over the steroid fool. Negronomicon didn’t get involved but offered good advice to the champ. Hardy went for a fist drop from the top rope and got a 2 count. Negronomicon got up on the ring and distracted Hardy. Masters then locked in the Masterlock and Hardy passed out. Chris Masters retains the North American title via submission.
Carlito vs. John Cena is up next for the Intercontinental title. Carlito went for a running clothesline but that was a distraction as Negronomicon got on the ring and hit Cena from behind with a loaded newspaper (I think it was a Wall Street Journal). Carlito made the cover and got a 2 count. Carlito then hit a back-cracker but did not go for a pin. Cena battles back and hits a side suplex and Carlito hits a cabana groin shot. They took turns stomping each other in the gut. Cena tosses Carlito out of the ring and it looks like he’s gonna run for it but Cena catches him and brings him back to the ring. Cena goes to rap with the fans and Carlito hits another groin shot. Carlito tosses John out of the ring but he is back in at the 6 count. Carlito walked right into the F-U and Cena made the cover but Negronomicon put Carlito’s foot on the ropes. Negronomicon grabs Cena’s chain and throws it in but Cena intercepts it and hits Carlito with it. He goes for the pin but gets a 2 count. Carlito then spit apple in Cena’s face and shoved him out of the ring. Negronomicon pulled out handcuffs and cuffed Cena to the ringside barrier. He dropped the keys just inches out of Cena’s reach. The ref kept counting and John could do nothing. He ends up getting counted out. Carlito retains the IC title. Negronomicon gets into the ring to celebrate with Carlito and John, on the outside, starts to “hulk” up. He ends up tearing apart the guard rail and Carlito and the Negronomicon, in total amazement, run to the back while being chased by Cena.
The next to last match was the World’s Greatest Tag Team defending the NWWA Tag Team titles against Golddust and Stevie Richards. This was the shortest match of the night. Golddust hit a ddt on Haas and would have gotten the pin if Shelton didn’t make the save. Shelton and Haas then double-teamed Golddust for 3 rounds and injured Stevie Richards. Richards got T-bone suplexed through the Spanish announce table. Back in the ring, the champs hit Goldy with clotheslines, suplexes and Haas locked in the olympic deathlock. Golddust tapped. In 3 minutes, the champs retained their belts.
The Posse were all victorious. One final match remained…..Negronomicon vs. Samoa Joe for the Undisputed Heavyweight Title. Even though Joe has Taz in his corner, Negronomicon has the entire Posse in his. 7 on 1 (with a manager) are not that great of odds. Joe locks in a camel clutch but N battles out of it and hits a doom bomb. Another doom bomb is followed up by Joe’s camel clutch. Joe locks in the Rear Naked Choke but N makes it to the ropes. Joe locks in the RNC again and N would have tapped if it weren’t for Benjamin’s save. Negronomicon bitch slaps Joe and he responds with a Muscle Buster and nearly a 3 count. Joe locks in a sleeperhold and drops it into a pin attempt. Charlie Haas tries to make the save but is thwarted by Taz. Shelton makes it in again to make the save. Negronomicon then throws Joe out of the ring and the posse attack him. A flying shoulder tackle from Benjamin, a belly to belly suplex by Haas, a Steiner Recliner from Scott, a hammer shot from Masters, a leg smash from Santino, and a stomp to the face from Carlito. Joe makes it back in and N hits the Arm whip of Doom and goes for a cover but only gets a one count. Taz tries to intimidate the ref but N hits a dragon suplex for a 2 count. A bitch slap and a quick cover only gets N a 2 count. Joe locks in the RNC but N makes it to the ropes. Another Dragon Suplex from Negronomicon and he goes for the cover. The Posse all surround Taz so he cannot interfere. The ref counts 1-2-3. Negronomicon is the winner and still the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. Taz takes a chair and starts whalloping on the Posse. They all run off. Oops, they forgot that Negronomicon was still in the ring with Joe. They all look on in horror. Joe hits another Muscle Buster on Negronomicon. He drops a knee to N’s face. He locks in the Rear Naked Choke and Negronomicon is tapping out all over the place and no one is daring to make the save. Finally, Joe drops the lifeless form of the Negronomicon and poses above him holding the Undisputed Championship. He leaves the ring with it and he and Taz head out through the crowd as the Posse rush in to check on their fallen leader.
This ends the show. I am sure there will be some major fallout over this.
Old Timers Classic Tournament - New EODRF Champion Crowned
Hello fans. In addition to the goings-on within the HWF and the CSWA, a new group has come up. It is called the EODRF federation (stands for Either Old, Dead or Retired Fogies). A tournament was held called the "Old Timers Classic" to see who would be crowned the first ever Old Timers Classic Champion. This is also based on the Pro Wrestling Superstars game but only has characters included from that era (there is no Rock or Steve Austin but there is a Rockers version of Shawn Michaels and "Big Scott Magnum Hall" from the AWA days.
Only 60 wrestlers, all chosen at random, participated. Those inclulded: Abdullah, RW Animal, Ricky Steamboat, Cpl Kirchner, Mad Dog Vachon, Curt Hennig, Magnum TA, Billy Jack Haynes, Kevin Von Erich, Stan Hansen, Ole Anderson, Black Bart, Kevin Sullivan, Superstar Billy Graham, Nikolai Vokoff, Arn Anderson, Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, Bruiser Brody, King Kong Bundy, Tito Santana, Mike Rotundo, Baron Von Raschke, Jesse Ventura, Ronnie Garvin, Randy Savage, Buzz Saywer, Big John Studd, The Missing Link, Mr T, Adrian Adonis, RW Hawk, Rick Rude, Chris Champion, Lex Luger, Wahoo McDaniel, Mike Von Erich, Big Bubba Rogers, Ivan Putski, Shawn Michaels (awa), One Man Gang, Bob Backlund, Kerry Von Erich, Ted Dibiasi, Nikita Koloff, Andre the Giant, Rocky Johnson, Rick Martel, Chief Jay Strongbow, Larry Zbyszko, Tully Blanchard, Michael Hayes, Barry Windham, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, Ken Patera, Terry Gordy and Nick Bockwinkle.

Now, I have to come up with a top 10 for this too.
This is going to be ugly. Based on their win/loss record from the tournament, the top 10 looks like this (takes into account the total number of minutes spent in all matches between wins, losses and draws - if more than 1 wrestler had the same amount of matches, their ranking is determined on the lowest amount of time in the ring. If there is a tie, then the person who was ahead on points at the end of the match is ranked higher):
1) Shawn Michaels (6 matches - def One Man Gang, Big Bubba, Bob Backlund, RW Hawk, Hulk Hogan and lost to Billy Jack Haynes - total 63 min)
2) Hulk Hogan (5 matches - def Windham, Flair, Bockwinkle, Andre and lost to Michaels - total 68 min (def bockwinkle in 2))
3) Curt Hennig (3 matches - def Magnum TA, Cpl Kirchner and drew with Animal - total 36 min)
4) Arn Anderson (3 matches - def Paul Orndorff, Bruiser Brody and drew with Mr T - total 52 min)
5) Mr. T (yes, unfortunately) (3 matches - def Missing link, Buzz Sawyer and drew with Arn Anderson -total 52 min)
6) Road Warrior Animal (3 matches - def Steamboat, Abdullah and drew with Hennig - total 60 min)
7) Jesse Ventura (2 matches - def Baron Von Raschke and drew with Savage - total 24 min (Baron sub'd in 1 min).
8) Wahoo McDaniels - (2 matches - defeated Mike Von Erich and drew with Lex Luger - total 32 min)
9) Randy Savage (2 matches - def Ronnie Garvin and drew with Jesse Ventura - total 36 min)
10) Lex Luger (2 matches - def Chris Champion and drew with Wahoo - total 43 min)
The results from these matches will be posted separately from HWF/CSWA/NWWA results.
In his first ever title defense, Billy Jack Haynes defeated Shawn Michaels with a Tin Soldier Suplex in 9 minutes.
More to come as I make time for it.

Hello fans and welcome to the CSWA portion of the news. The first match that took place had the Super Warrior challenging Donnie B for his spot in the Cruiserweight contention. Donnie B tosses the SW out of the ring just as the bell sounds. Out of nowhere, here comes Mohammed Hassan. The SW is distracted by Hassan’s appearance and ends up getting counted out. Donnie B retains his spot. Hassan then hits the ring and attacks Donnie B. DB is joined in the ring by the SW and they both drive Hassan to the back. It appears that Hassan wants another shot at the Cruiserweight title and will stop at nothing to get it.
In the back, Regal talks with Donnie B. He wants to know if DB will accept the challenge from Hassan for his spot (Hassan had already expressed his interests to Regal). Donnie B says yes but on one condition. He wants a guest referee. Regal asks who and DB says Super Warrior. Regal says “I like the way you think. The match will happen later on tonight.” Donnie B thanks him and goes on his way.
The next match was the Great Khali challenging the Big Show for the #1 contenders spot for the TV title currently held by Bobby Lashley. Big Show started off the match with a big foot to Khali’s face but Khali came back with a relentles backbreaker. Big Show would not submit. Khali rammed Big Show into the ringpost but Big Show eye raked the giant one. Big Show then locked in the Cutting Edge and got a one count. A bodyslam from Khali and Show comes back by throwing him out of the ring. Khali is back in at the 7 count. Khali locks in the backbreaker again but Show won’t submit. Khali went for a piledriver but Show got out of it. Big Show stood on the neck of Khali and went for a pin and barely got a 1. Khali comes back with a smash into the ringmat. Show falls onto Khali causing the ref to count and Khali kicks out in the nick of time. Khali rams Show into the ringpost and this time I just think it made the Big Show mad cause he hit a huge clothesline out of nowhere and covered Khali for the 1-2-3. Big Show retains his spot.
Rey Mysterio is up next and he is supposed to be putting the US title on the line against JTG of Cryme Tyme. Since they won the Tag Team titles, they both opted not to go for the singles belts. This left two spots open. A mini battle royal tourney was held to see who would get those spots. The participants were Khali, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, Undertaker, Edge, Abyss, Chris Jericho, Batista, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, HHH and Mohammed Hassan. Abyss started off against Foley. Abyss is eliminated after Foley delivered a flying elbow and then threw him out of the ring. Jarrett was next against Jericho. Jarrett gave Jericho a ringrope face burn but Chris came back and tried to lock in the Walls of Jericho. Jarrett powered out and ended up throwing Chris out. Next is Khali vs CM Punk. Khali rams Punk into the ringpost but Punk comes back with an awesome dropkick. He followed it up with a turnbuckle smash and Khali goes over the top. Next is Mohammed Hassan taking on the returning Kurt Angle. Angle is gone after Hassan taunted the crowd and Angle couldn’t stand it. Next was HHH against the Undertaker. HHH hit Taker with a sledgehammer just as the bell rang. Undertaker battled back but went over the top after HHH hit him with a flyiing knee to his face. Hassan vs Jarrett was next. Hassan hits an eyegouge but Jarrett hits a ringrope face burn. Jarrett went for a guitar smash but an eye gouge from Hassan and Jarrett went over the top rope. Foley vs Batista didn’t go very long as Dave immediately threw Mick out of the ring. Hassan vs HHH was next and this was a short one too as HHH went flying over the top after being suplexed out of the ring. Punk is eliminated by Shawn who just tossed him right over the top rope. Former tag team partners Randy Orton and Edge went at it. Edge is eliminated after Randy hits the RKO and throws Edge over the top. Hassan was out next against Batista. He hit the STO on Batista and almost got the pin. Dave got up and threw him out of the ring. There are 3 men left…Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels and Batista. Randy cowers outside the ring so Dave and Shawn go at it. Shawn Michaels eliminates Batista leaving Randy Orton as the last man. Both of these men get title shots. The winner of the match will receive the first shot. Shawn and Randy battle back and forth but Shawn always had the upper hand. The end came when Shawn threw Randy out of the ring. Randy refused to get back in the ring and got counted out. Shawn will get the next shot at Rey Mysterio.
Out next came Booker T who was told he had to defend his title tonight against Samoa Joe. Joe came out with Taz. The bell sounds and Joe starts off hot. He slaps Booker in a camel clutch but Booker is able to get out. Booker hits a forearm drop and Joe hits a big boot. Another forearm drop from the champ is met with the Rear Naked Choke. Booker makes it to the ropes. Joe locks in the RNC again and turns it into a pin. Booker kicks out at 2. Booker gits a spinning smash and Taz gets involved by choking Booker on the bottom rope. Joe pulls him off and goes for the pin but gets a 1 count. Out of nowhere, Booker hits the bookend and gets the 1-2-3. Booker hightailes it out of the ring as Joe and Taz complain to the ref.
Joe doesn’t leave the ring. He demands a rematch. Regal comes out and says he lost so deal with it and work your way back up. Joe says he doesn’t have time to waste so he challenges Abyss for his spot. Abyss doesn’t back down from a challenge so he accepts. It was a very hard fought match. Everytime Joe would take the lead, Abyss would battle back. It wasn’t until Taz got involved and itimidated the ref that control of the match went back to Joe. Joe tried but just couldn’t keep Abyss down. After Abyss missed a top rope guillotine, a powerful clothesline from Joe was enough (with the ref fast counting) to put Abyss down and win the match. Samoa Joe then called out Booker T and told him he was the top contender. Booker said he already wrestled today and this match wasn’t going to happen. Joe was told by William Regal that the match will now happen at the PPV.
The final match of the night is Donnie B vs Mohammed Hassan with the Super Warrior as the special guest referee. Donnie B started off with an eye rake on Hassan and Hassan came back with a stomp to DB’s gut. Donnie B then hit the Lights Out Brainbuster but Hassan kicked out at two. Hassan came back with the STO and got a two. Donnie B hits two consecutive superplexes and after the second one, goes for the pin but gets a two count. Hassan gets tossed out of the ring but makes it back in by 7. Donnie B hits Hassan with a chair but only gets a two count. Hassan hits the STO but DB hits Hassan with a chair…again. Donnie B hits another superplex and is a fraction of a second away from 3. The clock is counting down as we hit the final minute of the match. Hassan is unable to mount any offensive. Donnie B hits connects with an eye rake and rolls up the challenger for the 1-2-3. Donnie B retains his spot for the Cruiserweight Championship.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more.
In the back, Regal talks with Donnie B. He wants to know if DB will accept the challenge from Hassan for his spot (Hassan had already expressed his interests to Regal). Donnie B says yes but on one condition. He wants a guest referee. Regal asks who and DB says Super Warrior. Regal says “I like the way you think.

Hello fans. Welcome back to our latest news update. Well, we have seen that Negronomicon is way in over his head in regards to running the NWWA. During the last glimpse we got of his office, we saw his desk was overflowing with past-due notices. It appears that N had not been able to pay off the arenas that he’s been booking in full and now even fewer arenas are willing to let him book there. N had hoped that by cutting payroll (as some stupid-ass computer companies have been doing lately) that he could cut back on expenses but that has not been happening. In fact, he’s actually losing money since fewer people are coming to see the shows. Negronomicon was informed by CSWA owner Jeff Meyers and GM William Regal that his wrestlers will no longer be able to wrestle on CSWA shows. This means that NWWA must host (and pay for) their own venues. This is not a good sign. The NWWA roster keeps shrinking and this is not helping the situation. While in his office, the Negronomicon was visited by John Cena. Cena asked why he wasn’t getting any ring time. N replied “You lost your world title match against Jarrett. You think you can just walk in here and demand a match? I should just fire you for being such an idiot.” Cena replied “No, no, no. You can’t fire me. You only have 3 world championship caliber wrestlers left….me, Christian and Steiner. You get rid of me, you’ll have nothing. What do you expect to keep doing? Having Christian vs. Steiner matches for the rest of the year? Give me a break. I’ll tell you what though. I don’t need a championship match…yet. Give me a shot as Scott Steiner. If I win, I take his place in the US title contention. If I lose, hell, give Steiner a world title shot against Christian. What’s there to lose? I’ll put asses in seats and you may actually get caught up on some of those bills.” Negronomicon was ticked (that he didn’t think of this sooner). “Fine, you and Steiner have a match. If you win, you get a shot at Carlito’s belt. If you lose, well, I’d hate to see you relegated to sweeping and mopping up floors…if you get my drift. Now get the hell out of my office.” Cena left.
The NWWA card has a few matches scheduled. The NWWA tag champs Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin have to defend the titles against the Bruiser and Tommy Dreamer. This match was up first.
Shelton started off the match against the Bruiser. Bruiser never had a chance. Shelton and Charlie double-teamed him for 5 minutes sneaking in a pin where they could. Finally around the 8 minute mark, the Bruiser got in his second offensive move of the night and made the tag to Dreamer. Dreamer came in only to be met with double-teaming by the champs also. Dreamer was beat from pillar to post and he was only able to get a single offensive move in. Finally, and mercifully, Shelton hit a huge power clothesline on Dreamer and made the cover. Haas knocked the Bruiser off the ring and the ref counted 1-2-3. The World’s Greatest Tag Team is victorious.
The next match for the night is Golddust taking on Mike Knox to deterimine who will get a shot at the North American title. Knox starts off the match with a power clothesline on Goldy. Golddust hits the Shattered Dreams on Knox but he gets right up and hits another huge clothesline. A blatant choke from Knox is met with a grinding headlock from Golddust. Another choke by Knox and a pin attempt but G kickes out. A headlock from Golddust is met with a power clothesline by Mike and a pin attempt but G kicks out at 1. Golddust manages to ram Knox into the ringpost giving him a chance to catch his breath. Golddust goes to the ropes but misses but Knox doesn’t. Mike hits a huge powerbomb and goes for the pin but somehow Goldy manages to kick out. Unbelievable. Golddust starts to battle back hitting a double fist to the jaw a couple of times, a headbutt and a piledriver. Knox somehow hits a powerbomb but can only get a 2 count. Knox hits another powerbomb and Golddust kicks out of that one too. Golddust hits the Shattered Dreams and Knox hits a powerslam but Golddust, ever the ring veteran, puts his foot on the ropes to break the count. Golddust hits the Golden Slam and then tosses Knox into the ringpost again. The bell rings signifying the end of the match as a time limit draw. Neither man get a shot.
The next match is Jay Lethal taking on the Hurricane for a shot at the X-Division title. Just as the bell rings, Hurricane starts to choke Lethal out with his cape. Hurricane goes to the ropes and does nothing but Lethal hits him with the ringside bell twice. I guess he didn’t like getting choked out at the beginning of the match. A neckbreaker from the Hurricane is met with an axe handle smash. Lethal goes for the pin but barely gets a 2 count. Lethal goes to the top rope and hits another axe handle smash. He goes for the pin and almost gets the three. A headlock from Lethal is met by the Nightmare on Helms Street. Both men are down (rest period). Lethal is up first, goes to the top rope and nails the Flying Elbow. He goes for the pin…1….2…desperation kickout by the Hurricane. Hurricane appears to be out on his feet. Lethal connects with a back suplex and makes the cover. 1…..2…..3. Jay Lethal is the winner and will get the next shot at Santino’s belt.
Since there was no winner between Golddust and Mike Knox, another contention match was held. This one has Matt Hardy taking on Fit Finley. The match begins with Hardy kicking Finley in the gut. Finley went for a kick of his own but was reversed by Matt and he delivered another kick to Finley’s gut. An eye rake by Finley is met with a standing suplex by Matt. A kick to the gut by Finley is met with the Twist of Fate by Hardy. Matt make the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Matt Hardy now gets a shot at Chris Masters’ North American title.
John Cena vs. Scott Steiner was next. Steiner starts off with a belly to belly suplex but Cena locks in a reverse chinlock. Cena went for and missed a knuckle jam and Steiner hit him with a standing suplex. A stomp to the gut by Cena is met with a side suplex from Steiner. Cena then tosses Steiner out of the ring but he is back in at 7. At this point, the Negronomicon comes out and stands at the top of the ramp. Steiner, taking advantage of the distraction, tosses Cena to the outside where he is thrown into the ringside steps. Steiner remains outside the ring to make sure Cena doesn’t make it back in. He rolls back in just as the ref counts to 10 and Steiner wins the match by countout. Scott Steiner now gets a shot at Christian’s belt.
With the IC spot now vacated, a match between John Morrison and Chris Daniels is set up to see who will take that spot. The match started off pretty even with Daniels keeping up with Morrison. About the 5 minute mark, Morrison turned up the heat and Daniels just couldn’t keep up. Morrison went for many pin attempts but somehow Daniels kept kicking out. Finally, in the final minute of the match, Morrison went for a turnaround sidekick but Daniels got out of the way just as the bell rang signifying a time limit draw. Even though Morrison was way ahead on points, he does not get a shot at the IC belt.
The Negronomicon still was not happy even though Steiner got win over Cena but he still wanted to see Cena punished for talking back to him. Negronomicon knows that he no longer can fire people at whim. If he does not want to go bankrupt in the next 30 days, he knows he needs Cena on his staff. He determines that he can punish him though by making him wrestle a second time tonight. This time, his opponent will be Kane and the winner will get a shot at the IC title.
Kane is already at ringside and out comes Cena to a huge pop. Cena gets in the ring as the bell sounds and tosses Kane out. Kane is really frustrated and almost gets counted out but he makes in back in at 9. Cena goes for a suplex but it is reversed by Kane who then tosses Cena to the ropes and attempts to bodyblock him but Cena does not go down. Kane looks concerned. An eye rake from Kane just gets him tossed out of the ring again. Kane makes it back in at 8. Cena turns to rap with the crowd and as soon as he turns around, Kane hits a chokeslam. Cena rolls out of the ring so there is no pin attempt. Cena is back in and gets scooped slammed but he just tosses Kane out of the ring again. As soon as Kane gets back in the ring, Cena grabs him and hurls him over the top rope. He follows Kane out and slams him against the ringside barrier. He rolls back in just as the ref counts to 10 and wins the match by countout. John Cena wins a shot at Carlito’s IC title.
So we now have 4 matches from the NWWA for their next PPV. Lethal will take on Santino, Matt Hardy takes on Chris Masters, John Cena takes on Carlito and Scott Steiner takes on Christian. Stay tuned for the updates from the CSWA.
The NWWA card has a few matches scheduled. The NWWA tag champs Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin have to defend the titles against the Bruiser and Tommy Dreamer. This match was up first.
Shelton started off the match against the Bruiser. Bruiser never had a chance. Shelton and Charlie double-teamed him for 5 minutes sneaking in a pin where they could. Finally around the 8 minute mark, the Bruiser got in his second offensive move of the night and made the tag to Dreamer. Dreamer came in only to be met with double-teaming by the champs also. Dreamer was beat from pillar to post and he was only able to get a single offensive move in. Finally, and mercifully, Shelton hit a huge power clothesline on Dreamer and made the cover. Haas knocked the Bruiser off the ring and the ref counted 1-2-3. The World’s Greatest Tag Team is victorious.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.2
Hello fans. Welcome back to the second issue of October. Last issue we recapped updates in the NWWA. In this issue we will recap updates and such for the CSWA. Our biggest piece of information was that the CSWA picked up the contracts of HHH, Shawn and Jeff Jarrett. All three men were informed that since the top contenders was already in place, they would have to wait to be placed. Jeff Jarrett was the only one not satisfied with that. He told William Regal that he wanted to challenge Mick Foley for his spot for the US title. Foley, not one to back down from a challenge, agreed.
Foley started off the match in solid control. For the first five minutes of the match, Jeff got in 2 offensive moves. Mick stayed in total control until Jeff connected with the Stroke. Mick managed to kick out at 2 and regained the offensive. After a 13 minute grueling match, Mick won after a swift kick (one of many in this match) to Jeff’s groin. Jeff just couldn’t take it anymore and Mick won the match and retained his spot for the US title.
At this point, Mick is currently the #1 contender for both the US title held by Rey Mysterio and the World title held by Booker T. William asked which title he’d like to go after first. Mick replied by saying he wanted Rey Mysterio first and then Booker T at the PPV. Regal agreed and said that his next match will be against Mysterio at a future date.
MVP was up next defending the Cruiserweight title against MW3. This match was a long one. It ran a whole 18 minutes. MW3 put up very little offense but did better by getting out of the way of MVP's moves. After getting beat down for those 18 minutes, MVP gets the win after a devistating judo chop. After the match, Elijah Burke came out and challenged MVP to a match stating he was now the #1 contender after defeating Donnie B. MVP questioned why he needed to defend the title against him when he clearly beat him already. This prompted Burke to attack MVP and the refs needed to come down to restore order. This also brought out William Regal who said that at the next house show, MVP would defend the title against Burke. Burke had better keep to himself though as if he makes any attempt to attack MVP before their match, he would lose his title shot.
Rey Mysterio wanted to move up in the rankings so he challenged Donnie B for his spot. Donnie B would not accept the match unless Rey put the US title on the line first. The issue though is that Mick Foley was to receive the next US title shot. Donnie B approached Mick and asked if it would be ok. Mick said he didn’t have an issue with it so “Go For it.” This match was much shorter than the previous one. In 7 minutes, Mysterio made short work of the former HWF GM and got the pin after a big headscissors. Mysterio moves up in the rankings and Donnie B moves down.
The next match was Bobby Lashley defending the TV title against AJ Styles. AJ was moving quick; perhaps too quick for Bobby’s taste so the first thing he did was toss AJ out of the ring. AJ was back in by the 7 count. AJ connects with a backflip kick and Bobby hits a kick to gut. Bobby then gets Styles up in a full nelson lift and slam. Another kick to the gut by Lashley and Styles throws the champ out of the ring. Bobby gets back in at the 8 count. Bobby gets back in and throws AJ out of the ring again. He follows him out and they brawl before AJ is sent flying into the ringside steps. Bobby rolls back in just before the 10 count and wins the match by countout. After the match, the new #1 contender Big Show came out and attacked Lashley. He caught the champ with a chokeslam and left him laying in the ring after hitting the Cutting Edge.
CM Punk then came out and announced that he wanted the Undertaker. William Regal came out and said that the Undertaker was not in the building. He was asked if he really wanted a match tonight and would he be willing to fight anyone. Punk said he would and just send down whoever was free. This prompted Regal to acknowledge this and called out Punk’s opponent. A very familiar music hit and out came the returning Kurt Angle. Regal announced that whoever won this match would get a shot at the TV title. The former Undisputed Champion looked great. He had absolutely no ring rust whatsoever. After getting his bearings, he took control of the match and held on to it until Punk tossed him out of the ring. He got back in and Punk then went of the offensive. Punk went for a dropkick but missed. Angle picked him up and hit the Olympic Leg Sweep and rolled him up for the 1-2-3. Kurt Angle wins in his first match back. Welcome back Kurt. Now, just keep yourself clean.
As part of his return to the ring, Kurt had to be constantly tested for drugs. Prior to his going out to the ring, he was indeed tested and came back clean.
Regal was getting ready to announce the next match which would have the Undisputed Tag Team Champs – Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin defend the World Tag Team titles against Cryme Tyme. Just before the match was set up, he was approached by DX. They were here to ask Regal, not for a title match, but for a match against a top contender. Regal flipped a coin and said that DX would meet Dibiasi and Rhodes. If DX wins, they will take that spot for the tag team titles. Their match would be up after this one.
The World’s Greatest Tag Team came down to the ring accompanied by NWWA GM and the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon. Out next came Cryme Tyme. The champs started off the match with a double team on JTG. Shelton came back with an armdrag and JTG hit a spinning toe hold. Shad comes in and hits Benjamin with a crippling piledriver. JTG runs in and knocks Haas off the apron. Negronomicon jumps up and he gets knocked down for his interference. In 3 minutes, Shad makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. We have NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS – Cryme Tyme. Regal and Meyers come out and make sure that Negronomicon and his Posse members don’t interfere anymore. They are all sent out of the arena. Meyers and Regal congratulate the new champs. I am sure Haas and Benjamin are going to get reemed for this.
The next match is an inter-promotional one with the CSWA’s DX taking on the NWWA’s Ted Dibiasi and Cody Rhodes. Negronomicon showed up on the big screen and basically threated Rhodes and Dibiasi. He said that if they do not win their match, they’d best not come back to the NWWA. DX started off strong but the youngsters showed the veterans why this was a new age of wrestling. Dibiasi and Rhodes double-teamed Michaels for 3 rounds. The final round, Dibiasi hits Michaels with a steel chair and goes for the pin. He would have gotten it if HHH didn’t break the attempt. HHH is in now and is cleaning house against Rhodes. Another double team by Rhodes and Dibiasi and HHH is down. They went for pin attempts but HHH managed to kick out each time. Dibiasi is back in now against Michaels. HHH tries to get in the ring but the ref kicks him out. With the distraction going on, Dibiasi hits Michaels with a chair again and this time HHH does not make the save. Dibiasi and Rhodes win the match.
The following night was headlined by two matches in particular. First was MVP defending the Cruiserweight title against Elijah Burke. Burke went for a lariat and missed. MVP hit him with a superkick and got a 2 count. Burke basically had 3 offensive moves in the entire 9 minute match - a dropkick, a flying bodypress and an armbar. He was no match for the champ who just owned him. MVP got the win after hitting a devistating judo chop.
The main event was Rey Mysterio defending the US title against Mick Foley. Mysterio started off with a spinning heel kick and Mick connected with an eye gouge. Rey then tossed Mick out of the ring for that very unfriendly move and Mick barely made it back in. Mick then stomped on Rey’s throat and Rey connects with a big head scissors. Rey hits the hurricanrana and gets a 2 count. In frustration, Mick starts to rip hair out of his head. Rey hits a flying bodypress and gets the 1-2-3. Rey Mysterio is still the US Champion.
Mick is still in the ring and doesn’t want to leave. He calls out Booker T and demands his World title shot now. He doesn’t want to wait for the PPV. Booker comes out to oblige. Booker locks in a sleeperhold but Mick hits him with a chair. Booker then hits a forearm drop on Foley. A kick to the groin by Foley is followed up with another forearm drop by the champ. Booker hits yet another forearm drop and Foley counters with a belly to back suplex. He goes for the cover and barely gets a one count. Mick hits another belly to back suplex and still only a one count. Booker locks in a reverse chinlock (rest hold). A forearm drop by Booker and another chair shot by Foley. Foley is tossed out of the ring but gets back in at the 5 count. Booker is tossed out of the ring but is back in by the count of 3. A dropkick from the champ and Foley hits the Bang-Bang Piledriver. He goes for the pin but gets a 2 count. Booker hits a spinning smash but Foley stomps on Booker’s throat. He goes for the pin but gets just a 2 count. A forearm drop from the champ and you can tell Foley is getting really frustrated here. Foley connects with another piledriver but still just a two count. Mick hits the belly to back suplex but Booker keeps kicking out. Booker somehow manages to bounce off the ropes and catches Mick with a Bookend. Booker goes for the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Booker T is still the World Heavyweight Champion. I would be very surprised if Mick doesn’t get a rematch.
Before the show ended, CM Punk came out again and called out the Undertaker. Again, Regal came out and said that the Undertaker was not here. Punk started to question if the dead man was afraid of him. Just then, the Undertaker’s music hits and the lights go out. When they come back on, Punk is half way up the ramp and standing where he was just seconds earlier was the Undertaker. Undertaker motioned for Punk to come back to the ring but he wouldn’t do it. The show ended with Undertaker posing for the fans in the ring and then shaking hands with those at ringside before heading to the back.
Foley started off the match in solid control. For the first five minutes of the match, Jeff got in 2 offensive moves. Mick stayed in total control until Jeff connected with the Stroke. Mick managed to kick out at 2 and regained the offensive. After a 13 minute grueling match, Mick won after a swift kick (one of many in this match) to Jeff’s groin. Jeff just couldn’t take it anymore and Mick won the match and retained his spot for the US title.
At this point, Mick is currently the #1 contender for both the US title held by Rey Mysterio and the World title held by Booker T. William asked which title he’d like to go after first. Mick replied by saying he wanted Rey Mysterio first and then Booker T at the PPV. Regal agreed and said that his next match will be against Mysterio at a future date.

This also brought out William Regal who said that at the next house show, MVP would defend the title against Burke. Burke had better keep to himself though as if he makes any attempt to attack MVP before their match, he would lose his title shot.
Rey Mysterio wanted to move up in the rankings so he challenged Donnie B for his spot. Donnie B would not accept the match unless Rey put the US title on the line first. The issue though is that Mick Foley was to receive the next US title shot. Donnie B approached Mick and asked if it would be ok. Mick said he didn’t have an issue with it so “Go For it.” This match was much shorter than the previous one. In 7 minutes, Mysterio made short work of the former HWF GM and got the pin after a big headscissors. Mysterio moves up in the rankings and Donnie B moves down.
The next match was Bobby Lashley defending the TV title against AJ Styles. AJ was moving quick; perhaps too quick for Bobby’s taste so the first thing he did was toss AJ out of the ring. AJ was back in by the 7 count. AJ connects with a backflip kick and Bobby hits a kick to gut. Bobby then gets Styles up in a full nelson lift and slam.

Now, just keep yourself clean.
As part of his return to the ring, Kurt had to be constantly tested for drugs. Prior to his going out to the ring, he was indeed tested and came back clean.

Just before the match was set up, he was approached by DX. They were here to ask Regal, not for a title match, but for a match against a top contender.

We have NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS – Cryme Tyme. Regal and Meyers come out and make sure that Negronomicon and his Posse members don’t interfere anymore. They are all sent out of the arena. Meyers and Regal congratulate the new champs. I am sure Haas and Benjamin are going to get reemed for this.
The next match is an inter-promotional one with the CSWA’s DX taking on the NWWA’s Ted Dibiasi and Cody Rhodes. Negronomicon showed up on the big screen and basically threated Rhodes and Dibiasi. He said that if they do not win their match, they’d best not come back to the NWWA. DX started off strong but the youngsters showed the veterans why this was a new age of wrestling.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.1 – the aftermath of the PPV
Hello fans, welcome back. Well, there was some serious fallout at the PPV as well as at the house show the night after. At the PPV, we saw Sting be forced into retirement after losing his match against Finley. Christian became the new NWWA World Champion but had to be taken out on a stretcher. Booker T defeated his long time arch nemesis the Undertaker to retain the CSWA World Title. Rick Steiner was forced into retirement and Scott had to go to the NWWA. Rey Mysterio defeated Booker to win the US title. The World’s Greatest Tag Team hold both tag titles now – the world and NWWA. The returning Mohammed Hassan lost his match against MVP. MW3 got trounced by Samoa Joe. Donnie B lost his match and spot to Elijah Burke. The Super Warrior didn’t lose his spot but did lose the match after Mysterio put the US title on the line and sucessfully defended the belt.
The following night at a NWWA show, the Posse all showed up in force. Negronomicon led his group down to the ring. He was followed first by the Unified Tag Team Champions – Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. Following behind them were X-division champion Santino, North American Champion Chris Masters, IC Champion Carlito and a sulking Jeff Jarrett. Negronomicon and the Posse got in the ring and Negronomicon took a mic and addressed the fans. “As you all know, the Posse were almost all undefeated at the PPV.” He threw an unhappy glance in the direction of Jeff Jarrett. “Jarrett, there are no excuses. You failed us. You failed Me. I cannot and will not accept failures. I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. You will have a match….right now. Your opponent is on his way to the ring.” The Posse exited the ring as the music hit for Jarrett’s opponent. It was none other than newly acquired Scott Steiner.
Scott didn’t look too happy with being a member of the NWWA now especially under these circumstances. Jarrett had a look on his face that showed determination not to let his team down again. Just before the match began, music hit and out came the NWWA World Champion Christian. He stayed at the top of the ramp and waived to the Posse in the ring. Steiner took advantage of the distraction and attacked Jarrett. Jeff battled back and quickly hit Scott with a guitar (this was a no DQ match). Jeff picked up Scott and connected with the Stroke. He covered Steiner and as the ref counted 1….2….oops, Jarrett got pulled out by Masters from the ring. Jeff was confused. The Posse then attacked Jeff and beat him all around the ring. When it came to Negronomicon’s turn, he hit Jeff with a low blow and then threw him back into the ring to Steiner. Scott hit a Frankensteiner and got the 1-2-3. Negronomicon got in the ring and announced the NEWEST member of the Posse and the winner of this match Scott Steiner. Negronomicon told the audience that because of the performace in this match, he was giving Scott a title shot at Christian. Christian, who was still standing on the ramp, motioned to the Posse to “bring it on” and then he left the ring.
Negronomicon then took a mic again. He said that tonight would be a night of announcements. He said that Santino was behind on defending the X-Division title. He told Santino that he would have to defend the title twice tonight. The first opponent for Santino is Fit Finley. As Finley came down, he walked by the Negronomicon who handed something to the challenger. Finley got in the ring and as the bell rang, he laid down. Santino made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Finley got out of the ring and approached N. He was then handed something else. This time we got to see what it was. Money. Finley was paid off again. Fit walked up the ramp counting his money and had a smile on his face.
The next opponent for Santino is one member of the World’s Greatest Tag Team Charlie Haas. As soon as the bell rang, Charlie exited the ring and ended up getting counted out. Santino has had 2 successful title defenses.
Carlito was then told that he would be defending the IC title against Shelton Benjamin. In the same fashion as the last match, Shelton left the ring and got counted out. Carlito was able to retain his title via countout. Negronomicon then told Carlito that he would have to defend the title against Scott Steiner in the future. This was put in place before Steiner became a member of the Posse. Carlito didn’t look too pleased.
This time he called out DX – Shawn Michaels and HHH. He told DX that they pushed him as far as he could take. He was going to offer them a truce. DX would get a title shot at the NWWA tag team titles. If they win, he will give them free reign in the NWWA to do whatever they want. They looked happy at this prospect. “BUT, there is a caveat. There has to be reprecussions. If you lose, you will both be fired. Now, I don’t want you to think that I’m playing favorites here so I will actually only put in one stipulation – this will be a no DQ match. You get to pick the type of match, environment, etc. You get to dictate almost everything.” HHH and Shawn were pretty happy. HHH started off “Well, the first thing we want is the Posse banished from ringside. Second, we want the match to be a streetfight.” Shawn then chimed in “Third, we want YOUR guarantee that no one from the Posse will get involved. And finally, we want you to just hand us the titles and all will be good.” Negronomicon had to stifle a laugh. “Well Shawn, I know you still have your sense of humor. No, I won’t just give you the titles but I will agree to the rest your terms. And by the way, your match starts….now.” Before the bell rang, the entire Posse attacked DX and beat them all down. They took chairs to Shawn and HHH. Both men were beaten and bloodied. Negronomicon signalled for the bell to ring and Shelton and Charlie hit a doomsday device on Shawn. They then hit HHH with a spike piledriver. Charlie and Shelton then took turns delivering splashes from the top rope. During this time, Negronomicon had directed the Posse to the top of the ramp honoring his agreement that they would be banned from ringside. Charlie and Shelton then took turns hitting both HHH and Shawn with a sledgehammer. Finally and mercifully, Charlie covered HHH and got the pin.
Negronomicon took the mic again. “Shawn and Hunter, since you lost the match, guess what? You are both FIRED. Now get your shit and get out.” Shawn and HHH had to be helped from the ring.
