Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_12.2 – All or Nothing PPV

Hello fans. In this issue, we will cover the results from last month’s PPV – All or Nothing and the fallout which transpired from it. Negronomicon was out first and basically guaranteed that his people will retain their belts here. If somehow they lost, they would all be fired.

The first match on the card was CM Punk taking on the Undertaker. Prior to the match taking place, Undertaker talked with William Regal about Punk calling him out and then running away. Regal asked “What would you like me to do about it?” Undertaker then asked for a no countout/DQ match with a 30 minute time limit. He wants to make sure that Punk cannot run away yet again. Regal agreed.

Undertaker and CM Punk went to a 30 minute time limit draw. Undertaker owned Punk in this match. Undertaker started off the match with a tombstone piledriver but Punk would manage to roll out of the ring. In fact, after any major offense the Undertaker would put forward, Punk would roll out of the ring and have to be helped back in. This went on for the entire match. At the final minute of the match, Undertaker locked Punk in a triangle choke. Punk was stuck in the middle of the ring but refused to tap out. When the bell rang signalling the end of the match, Undertaker still refused to break the hold. In fact, he held Punk in the triangle choke for an additional minute in which Punk finally passed out. Undertaker then called to the back and out came the druids with a coffin. They brought it down to the ring and Undertaker placed Punk into the coffin and then set it on fire. After a minute of burning, some suits ran down from the back with fire extinguishers and put out the flaming coffin. Once it was out, they opened the coffin to find out that Punk was gone. Undertaker then posed in the ring for a minute before leaving the ring.

The next match on the card was Mark Henry taking on Mike Knox. This was a squash match that Henry won in five minutes. The only offense that Knox got in was a huge boot to the face of Henry at the start of the match. Henry wins the match after connecting with a huge powerslam.

The third match of the night was Tommy Dreamer taking on Goldust. Dreamer got the win in 6 minutes after hitting two consecutive DDT’s.

The Bruiser took on Elijah Burke next. Bruiser got the win in 30 seconds after tossing Burke out of the ring and got counted out.

Out next was Chavo Guerrero taking on Stevie Richards. Chavo got the win after Abyss came out and distracted Stevie.

MVP taking on Chris Daniels went to a 20 minute time limit draw. It is expected that these two will meet again soon.

John Morrison got the win over Abyss with the sharpshooter after Stevie Richards came out and hit Abyss’ leg repeatedly with a chair.

After the match, Abyss demanded a match with Stevie Richards. Regal granted the match and said that they would meet in a steel cage.

Big Show got the win over Mick Foley after Randy Orton interferred. Due to their past, Mick has stolen different title matches from Randy. Randy hit Foley with the RKO before tossing him back in the ring. Big Show then connected with the Cutting Edge and got the win.

The first title match of the night was next with Randy Orton taking on Rey Mysterio fo rthe US title. Randy was in excellent form and hit the RKO on Mysterio multiple times. Rey was actually hanging in there and after hitting the 6-1-9, got the closest to a 3 count he had all night. Rey then tossed Orton out of the ring and Foley came in from the audience and hit Orton with a double arm DDT on the concrete floor. He then took off again through the audience and the ref counted Randy down and out. Rey Mysterio retains the US title by count out.

We made an error in the last newsletter. We said that Booker T was still the champ and defending the title against Samoa Joe. In fact, Joe is the CSWA world champ and is defending the belt against Booker T. That match was up next.

The challenger Booker T came out first followed by the champion Samoa Joe w/ Taz. Samoa Joe got the win over Booker T after Booker got counted out. Taz got involved early on and as soon as Booker got tossed out of the ring, Taz handcuffed Booker to the ringside barrier. Booker had nowhere to go and couldn’t get himself free before the ref counted to 10. Joe retains the belt via countout.

Bobby Lashley was up next defending the TV title against the Great Khali. Bobby got the win in 10 minuted after hitting a Dominator in the middle of the ring.

Next up was Hulk Hogan taking on MW3. This match didn’t go very long as MW3 got counted out early after Hogan ran him into the ringpost and he got counted out.

Cruiserweight champ Donnie B took on the Super Warrior. Donnie B retains the Cruiserweight title after connecting with the lights out brainbuster in the middle of the ring.

In tag team action, the took on World Tag Team Champs Cryme Tyme. Cryme Tyme retained the belts after the Dudleys were disqualified. The Dudley’s continued a beat down on Shad and refused to stop after the ref tried to get them to stop.

Next up had Edge taking on AJ Styles. Edge got the win after connecting with the spear.

Next had Jeff Jarrett taking on Chris Jericho. Jericho got the win after Jarrett submitted to the Walls of Jericho. Jericho was told before the match began that if he beat Jarrett, he would gain a world title shot.

Next had Kane going one on one with Mohammed Hassan. Super Warrior came out and distracted Hassan and Kane got the win after a chokeslam.

After serving his suspension, Kurt Angle got to face HHH. Angle hit the Angle Slam early on and many times. HHH just wasn’t prepared enough and tapped to the ankle lock.

The final CSWA match had Shawn Michaels squareing off against John Cena. Michaels started off hot but fizzled quickly as Cena took the match to the next level. Cena got the win after the “You can’t see me” followed by a knuckle jam.

The NWWA card stared next. They only had 4 matches scheduled.

The first of the four matches had Finley taking on Carlito for the IC title. Carlito spit apple early on in the face of the ref and got himself disqualifed. Finley won the match but not the belt.

Next, the X-Division title was on the line. Santino was up to defend the title against the person he “stole” it from – Jay Lethal. Santino got the win after he went for a pin and had his feet on the ropes. Santino then got on the mic and said that he was unbeatable and could take on anyone from any federation at any time. The bell suddenly rang signalling a new match. Santino asked what was going on and the ref said Santino basically requested another match. Out came none other than the Super Warrior. The Warrior took the match to Santino and after blinding Santino with his Dingo War Flags, he covered Santino and got the win. SW then took the belt and celebrated until Santino grabbed the belt and ran off with it. Santino said he had to clarify that the match was not for the belt. SW then challenged Santino for that belt. Santino tried to run away but then ran into a group of CSWA wrestlers including Bobby Lashley, MW3, Donnie B, the Undertaker and John Cena at the top of the ramp. Santino was “convinced” to take the match and get his ass back into the ring. Santino was not looking too good. The bell rang again and Santino took off right through the crowd and never stopped. In fact, the cameras outside the arena tracked Santino as he ran to his car and started to drive off. He kept running into dead ends and could not figure out how to get out of the parking lot. Suddenly, standing at the only exit was the Super Warrior. Santino cried for his mama as SW took a bat to Santino’s car. We faded off as Santino screamed like a little girl while SW destroyed his car.

Super Warrior then was dragging the bloody carcas of Santino to the ring. Santino was in no shape to wrestle but SW provided a contract signed by the Negronomicon giving SW a match. As soon as the bell rang, SW made the cover and got the 1-2-3 and is the NEW X-Division Champion.

Out next was the World’s Greatest Tag team defending the NWWA tag team titles. All of a sudden, they were told this was now a 3 way dance. Their opponents, Ted Dibiasi and Cody Rhodes, would now be joined by none other than the Dudley Boyz. Dibiasi and Rhodes got taken out early and after hitting a Doomsday Device on Shelton Benjamin and putting Charlie Hass through a table, Devon covered Benjamin and got the 1-2-3. The Dudley Boyz are now the NEW NWWA World Tag Team Champions.

Next up was Chris Masters defending the North American title against Matt Hardy. Matt hit the Twist of Fate at the 5 minute mark and got the pin and won the belt. Masters immediately demanded a rematch and before the bell could ring, he attacked Hardy locking him in the Master Lock. Matt was almost out when out of nowhere, Christian ran in and nailed Masters with a chair. He then hit 2 one-man concertos and dragged Hardy over to Masters and covered him. The ref counted and awarded the match to Hardy. Matt is now the North American Champion.

This of course brought out the NWWA World Champion Scott Steiner for his match against Christian. Steiner intentially hit the ref as the bell rang and the ref DQ’d the champ. Christian then took his frustrations out on Steiner by constantly hitting him with a steel chair. He then delivered a one-man concerto on Steiner. Steiner was busted open. Christian hit the Unprettier on the champ and he covered asking the ref to make the count. The ref counted 1-2-3 but there was no title here on the line. Christian then wrapped a mic cable around the throat of Steiner and told Scott that he wanted another match and that Steiner needed to grant it. Steiner managed to squeak out “Hell No” before passing out.

Christian called out Carlito and said that his “familia” are all gone. Carlito stole the IC belt from him and if he thinks he can do it again, try to steal a win now. Carlito attacked Christian but Captain Charisma was ready for him. Carlito went to spit apple but Christian caught him with a super kick and he spit up his apple and holding his jaw. Christian hit the Unprettier on Carlito and made the cover. The ref counted 1-2-3 and awarded the match and the IC title to Christian.

All of a sudden, Kurt Angle came out carrying the unconscious form of Scott Steiner. Angle handed the ref a contract signed by the Negronomicon giving Angle a title match. The ref, not one to question the leader of the Posse, started the match. Angle hit the rolling suplexes, a superplex and an Angle Slam. Steiner still wasn’t moving. Angle made the cover and after a 1-2-3, is declared the NEW NWWA World Champion.

Christian, who was still at ringside, congratulated Angle and then called out the Negronomicon. Negronomicon started off by stating that Steiner, Santino, Haas and Benjamin, Chris Masters, Jay Lethal, Rhodes, Dibiasi, Finley and Carlito were all fired. He is now the only member of the Posse left. Christian pointed out that two matches remained for the night. Kurt Angle was going to take on Samoa Joe and the winner of that match would face the Negronomicon for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship.

Samoa Joe came out with Taz for his match against Kurt Angle. Angle went for an Angle slam early but Taz tried to interfere and hit the ref by mistake. The ref then sent Taz to the back. Angle, taking advantage of the confusion, rolled up Joe and got the pin. Now, the final match of the night was Negronomicon having to defend the belt he alone was responsible of stripping Angle of. He appeared very worried that he had no one to help him. Angle went right after him as soon as the bell rang but N jumped right out of the ring. He aparently forgot that Christian was at ringside and almost ran right into him. Christian gave the dictator a swift kick in the gut right in front of the ref and the ref did nothing. He then tossed N back into the ring and Angle hit him with the rolling german suplexes and followed that up with an Angle Slam. Negronomicon was in a world of hurt. Angle pulled him right into the middle of the ring and locked in an ankle lock. Negronomicon tapped but the ref did nothing. Angle question what was going on but the ref said for the match to continue. Somehow, Negronomicon hit a Black Doom on Angle and he made a cover. The ref counted 1….2…..NOPE. The ref told Negronomicon that the regime has failed and now Angle was going to take it all out on him. N did the “McMahon gulp” and as he turned around, Angle caught him with a belly to belly suplex. He took him to the top rope and hit a superplex. He got him back up again and with N on his shoulders, hit an Angle Slam from the top rope. The ref took a mic and told Angle that he wanted to see N punished for all the crap he put everyone through. Angle obliged. After 2 more Angle Slams, it seemed that the dictator was done. Angle put one finger on Negronomicon and the ref counted 1…2…3. Kurt Angle is the NEW UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!

Angle and Christian got out of the ring and were joined by the North American Champion Matt Hardy and the X-Division Champ Super Warrior. They all celebrated together but Negronomicon somehow managed to get a mic. “You may have beat me here but I still am not done. For your cowardly actions, you are all hereby STRIPPED of those titles you hold so dear. “ All of the others started laughing at him and walked off with the titles they all won. Negronomicon wouldn’t even be helped to the back so he had to get there on his own.

Before signing off, we are backstage and saw that Hulk Hogan is laying in a pool of his own blood. Standing over him with a sledgehammer is MW3. As the camera faded off, MW3 starts to laugh like a maniac. We fade out.

As a post-PPV note, Negronomicon made it back to his office and looked totally defeated. All of a sudden, in walks Donnie B. “What the hell do you want? You want to gloat? You think that this is over? It’s not. I will figure this all out and make everyone pay.” “Really?” Donnie B replied. “You don’t have a cent to your name. You have nothing. You have a federation so deep in debt that you are really mortgaged up to your eyeballs. You are finished.” “You think so?” N replied. “How about this then. You and me. One final match. You win, you get your federation back. I win, you pay all my bills and you will personally have to fund me FOREVER.” “Wow, that’s an offer I’d love to take you up on but here is the issue. You’ve put this federation in debt. If you really want this match, another stipulation must be added. I went to the lawyer that the CSWA provided to me. You may remember him as Classy Travis Massie but now he is a lawyer extrodinaire. He drew up this contract (calls it the Massie Mania contract) It states that if you lose, I gain my federation back, I pay all your outstanding debt and YOU will work for me. You will do whatever you are told. I will give you a paycheck but you will pay me back for all your debt and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. To be fair, you get to pick the match. The match will take place at the December PPV - Starcade. This is going to finally end this between us once and for all.” Negronomicon snatched the contract and looked it over. “I’ll sign this and then finally, after years of you holding me down and back, I will own you.” “Just don’t forget that if you do lose, I will be the one owning YOU.”
“HA!” Negronomicon exclaimed. “That will never happen. I’ll see you next month in...let's see...a Hell in a Cell.” (note that this all took place in November) Donnie B took the contract and signed it too leaving N a copy for him to dwell over for the next month. That is all. Stay tuned. We are almost there.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_12.1 (Real life news)

Hello fans. By now, you may have heard that the wrestler known as Umaga (real name Eddie Fatu) has passed away from a heart attack. He was 36 years old. Our prayers go out to his family in their time of mourning. We hope he is finally at rest.

The PPV results will follow.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_11.3

Hello fans. This is a last minute correction. In a previous recent newsletter, we stated that the World’s Greatest Tag Team held both the World and NWWA Tag Team titles. This, of course, is incorrect. The World Tag belts are still held by Cryme Tyme and the NWWA belts are held by Benjamin and Haas. Both sets of belts will be defended at the PPV. Dibiasi and Rhodes are in line for both titles so they were told they could only be in one. A coin was flipped and they will get the shot at the NWWA titles. Since Cryme Tyme is wrestling the Dudley’s at the PPV, their match is now for the World Tag Team titles.

The PPV is almost here. Stay tuned. We expect lots to happen.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_11.2

The PPV is expected to take place this weekend and the show has been sold out now for over a month.

As a reminder, Negronomicon will defend the Undisputed Championship at this show. Also taking place here will be the World Champion vs Champion as the NWWA Champ takes on the CSWA champ.

In non-wrestling news: CSWA hired a new legal representative. You may or may not have heard of Miles Massey (of Massey, Massey and Goldstein). Miles Massey is wildly known for “The Unbreakable Massey Settlement” (based on the movie “Intolerable Cruelty”). His newphew Travis, has been assigned to be lead council for the CSWA. You may remember Travis from his stint in wrestling under the name “Classy” Travis Massie. It turns out that Travis left wrestling to pursue a law career but could never fully get wrestling out of his blood. After attending law school, Travis interned at his uncle’s law firm for 2 years. He then asked to become lead council on the CSWA account to “cut his teeth and prove himself partner material”. Donnie B has announced that he wants to try to get his federation back. Travis will be retained to represent Donnie B in his battle to get his federation back. The last thing we’ve heard was that Travis was working on a document to rival what his uncle does with pre-nuptual agreements. We look forward to see what transpires.

The next post should be the results from both PPV’s. See you soon.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009) 11.1

Hello fans. Well, I have to apologize for the lack of news this month. With the holidays, news has become scarce as the CSWA has given its performers time off to spend with their families. Over in the NWWA though, things are a little different. The Negronomicon has been working its performers to the bone. They are all dead tired and unfortunately, they are not making any money at all. In fact, they are losing money hand over fist. The Negronomicon has been avoiding all the bill collectors and has resorted to hiding at his remote house. This reporter has found out that Negronomicon owes close to $1M in fees, salaries and location back payments. It's been absolutely crazy.

The only match of consequence saw Dibiasi and Rhodes defeat Goldust and Stevie Richards to take their shot at the tag team titles. Since Rhodes and Dibiasi are also the top contender for the World tag team titles, the shot they receive will be for both belts.

In a cost cutting move, Negronomicon has cut more staff. Of those cut include: Goldust, Stevie Richards, Hurricane Helms, Tommy Dreamer, The Bruiser, John Cena, Christopher Daniels, Kane, John Morrison, Chavo Guerrero, and Mike Knox.

This really cuts down on the size of the NWWA. Those left include:
The Negronomicon (Undisputed Champion), Scott Steiner (World Champ), Carlito (IC Champ), Chris Masters (North American Champ), Santino (x-division champ), The Unified (World and NWWA) World Tag Team Champs Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, Matt Hardy, Dibiasi and Rhodes, Christian, Finley, and Jay Lethal.

A last minute card has been put together for the November NWWA show. Those matches will be:
Christian vs. Scott Steiner for the World Heavyweight Title
Matt Hardy vs. Chris Masters for the NA title
Jay Lethal vs. Santino for the X-Division Title
Finley vs. Carlito for the IC title

Negronomicon will be forced to defend the Undisputed Championship against the winner of the match between the NWWA and CSWA World Champions. This match will take place at the CSWA show.

Well, the last newsletter had some good info in it with the announcement of Hulk Hogan being signed to a CSWA contract. Well, this posed a problem for the EODRF (either old, dead or retired fogies) champion. Hogan had to defend the title one last time. We searched high and low and only really came up with one candidate….Ric Flair. Hulk and Flair met again but this time with the belt on the line. Ric won the match and the EODRF Championship after Hogan tapped to the Figure Four. Congratulations Ric.

CSWA news to follow.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.10

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.

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.

The final four were Billy Jack Haynes, Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. Andre was eliminated by chump hogan, Shawn eliminated hogan. The winner of the tourny and 1st ever Old Timers Classic Champion.........Billy Jack Haynes.

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.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_10.4

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.

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.

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.

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.

CSWA news will be updated in the next issue.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 4 (2009)_9.4 – The Asylum PPV

Hello fans. Welcome to the Asylum PPV. One match has been changed for the PPV. Charlie Haas was scheduled to wrestle Santino but with the tag team belts on the line, the match was changed. John Morrison has been moved up and will now get the shot at Santino.

Before we get started, we wanted to touch on the situation involving Samoa Joe. Joe had been on a rampage lately and with TAZ in his corner, he’s becoming more focused. We are not sure if you are aware of it but it seems like Joe has been packing on the pounds lately. Not sure if he’s getting enough exercise or what. At the wrestling shows, more and more signs have been popping up. Here are some of our favorites we have seen so far:

“Joe’s gonna kill / eat you”
“Eat at Joes. He does”
“Buffet? Keep Joe away!”
“Samoa Joe may be dangerous to your health”
“Joe got Crabs at the Crab Shack”

Joe and TAZ are on the card first and his opponent is MW3. The only reason this match came up was that Joe needed an opponent and so did MW3 and Voila! We have a match. Joe and TAZ came to the ring first and they did not care for the signs that people were holding. Joe went as far as to take a sign away from a kid and tear it up and then throw it back at him. MW3 then came out through the crowd and posed a bit before heading down to the ring. Joe did not appear to be in a good mood and planned on taking out his frustrations on MW3.

Right off the bat, MW3 hits Joe with a superkick but Joe shrugs it off and hits a muscle buster for a 2 count. Joe then locked in the Rear Naked Choke but MW3 was able to get to the ropes to break the hold. MW3 hits a dragonscrew. Joe then locks in the RNC again but this time in the middle of the ring. MW3 has no where to go. Joe had it locked in tight so MW3 had no choice but to tap. The winner of the match: Samoa Joe.

Our next match is the Steiners vs the Worlds Greatest tag team for the World tag team titles. The Steiners were all over this one double-teaming at every turn. Charlie Haas took the brunt of the beatings but Shelton was always there to save him. The match kept going back and forth with no team getting the pin or submission. Just as things were looking bleak for the Worlds Greatest Tag Team, Negronomicon came out. This must have inspired them as they double-teamed Rick for 3 solid minutes. Finally, the bell rang signifying the end of the match as the time limit had been reached. Negronomicon pulled out a mic and told the ref to restart the match. He was not going to have the first title defense of the night end in a draw. The ref re-started the match and Scott was pissed. Benjamin and Haas double-teamed Scott and finally got ahead enough on points to go for a pin of their own. Negronomicon pulled on Rick’s leg making him fall off the ring apron. With no one to make the save, Haas and Benjamin were declared the winners of the match and the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! They now hold both sets of tag belts. Negronomicon got in the ring and congratulated his team. They all left together. Rick Steiner is now officially retired and Scott must move over to the NWWA. With this move, Scott loses his shot at the TV title but is put into contention for the IC title. Rick’s world title shot is now vacated. Everyone moves up. The final spot will go to the winner between Jericho and Batista later tonight.

Next came the match between Finley and Sting. Sting needs to win this match if he doesn’t want to be forced into retirement. Sting owned Finley and in fact, made him his bitch. Finley didn’t mount much of an offense. The tide turned when Sting, after delivering a death drop in the middle of the ring, went for a cover and the ref slow counted. What the heck? What is going on here? Finley came back and locked Sting in a sleeperhold and even though Sting got to the ropes, he wouldn’t break the hold. He managed to get Sting into the corner and just started whipping him like a scalded dog. He beat him up with his fists pretty bad. Sting managed to get to his feet and screamed in the face of Finley and Finley gave a nasty eye gouge. He then rolled up Sting and the ref, making a fast count, counted Sting’s shoulders down and awarded the match to Finley. Negronomicon came out again and informed everyone that Sting was now FIRED! “Get your shit and get out!” Negronomicon screamed at him. Sting sulked and walked to the back a defeated and broken man.

Next on the card is MVP defending the CSWA cruiserweight title against Mohammed Hassan. This match was pretty even considering Hassan had only wrestled once since his return to the ring. He stayed with MVP for the majority of the match but the longer the match went, the more tired Hassan became. MVP was hitting him will all kinds of high flying moves. In the end, after a well placed flying dropkick hit its mark, MVP made the cover and 14 minutes was declared the winner and STILL the Cruiserweight Champion.

The US/World Heavyweight Champion Booker T was out next defending the US title against Rey Mysterio. Rey started off the match with a hurricarana and that dictated the rest of the match. Booker must have been concerned with his match against the Undertaker later that his mind just wasn’t in the right place. Rey has never been on fire like he was in this match and in the end, after getting nailed by the 6-1-9, I think Booker just gave up. Rey got the 1-2-3 and was declared the winner and the NEW US Champion.

Rey stayed in the ring as the Super Warrior came down. Rey was extremely confident in his ability to beat SW that he actually agreed to put the US title on the line. As soon as the bell rang, SW hit Mysterio with the Superbomb and got a 2 count. Rey came back and hit the 6-1-9 but only got a 2 count. Mysterio followed it up with a hurricarana. A reversal by Rey and SW goes sailing out of the ring. He makes it back in at 5. A one arm chokeslam from SW is not enough to put Rey and another 6-1-9 put SW down for the count. The winner – Rey Mysterio.

Chris Jericho vs Batista was up next to determine who receives the final slot for the World title. Jericho caught his opponent off-guard early after connecting with an elbow off the ropes. Batista hit a powerslam while Jericho hit a chop to chest. I think that made Batista mad. Dave connected with an Enforcer Spinebuster while Jericho locks on a headlock. Another spinebuster from Dave but Chris locks him in the Walls of Jericho which Batista powers out of easily. Chris tossed Dave to the outside where he brawled briefly with the big man. After throwing Dave into the ringside steps, he rolled back in just before the 10 count. The winner of the match by Countout: Chris Jericho. Jericho now gets the final spot for the World title.

Donnie B vs Elijah Burke was next. Donnie B started off the match by hitting Burke with a chair. DB continued with a Guerrero stomp. Burke battled back with a hip toss and DB hit the stomp again. Burke then caught DB in a bulldog but somehow Donnie B got Burke to the top turnbuckle and hit a superplex. I think that did more damage to DB than Burke as Burke was quick to his feet and hit a flying dropkick. DB gets up and hits a neckbreaker but only gets a two count. A flying dropkick from Burke is met with the Lights Out brainbuster but DB only gets a 2 count. The funny thing about this match is Donnie B started off like a wildfire but then as the match went longer, fizzled out. This match looked like it was going to hit the time limit. Burke hit DB with a loaded glove but only got a 2 count. He hit another bulldog but, again, only a 2 count. Finally, in the last 30 seconds of the match, Burke hit a flying lariat and was finally able to get the 1-2-3. Burke moves up in the standings while DB drops.

To determine who will rank higher for the World Title, Abyss took on Mick Foley (in his Cactus Jack attire). These two brutalized each other. Abyss was always in control but Foley was able to dish it out as good as he could take it. Abyss hit many Blackhole slams but was never able to get the pin. Foley looked like he could win it after hitting the bang-bang piledriver but Abyss was able to kick out. In the end, the bell rang signifying the end of the match. Both men looked banged up and bruised. They shook hands afterwards and left the ring together. Foley retains his spot.

Santino vs John Morrison followed. Santino really appeared to be the underdog here especially based on Morrison’s win over Christian. John started off with an eye gouge but Santino hit a flying 5 arm. A smash in the corner from Morrison and another flying 5 arm and a pin attempt from Santino but he only got a 2 count. John went for a running knee smash but Santino got out of the way. Santino tried for a fist drop but John moved. A nice suplex from Morrison and Santino was up on the top rope and collided with another flying 5 arm. He made the cover and with a little help from some tight pulling, he got the win. The winner and still the X-Division Champ – Santino Marella. Negronomicon came down to congratulate him and they left together.

The North American title was on the line next as Chris Masters defended the belt against Chavo Guerrero. Chavo hit a forearm smash and Masters just took it. Chris then threw Chavo out of the ring and then handcuffed him to the guardrail. Masters got back in as Chavo tried to free himself but to no avail. Chavo is counted out. The winner by CO and still the North American Champion – Chris Masters.

Carlito, the IC Champion, came out next to meet up with Kane. Negronomicon came down to the ring with Carlito. Kane charged Carlito but he moved. In fact, he kept moving and eventually jumped out of the ring. He and Negronomicon then left but Kane came out to chase after them. They turned around and started to beat down on Kane but Kane pushed N out of the way and dragged Carlito back to the ring. The ref was still counting as Carlito was tossed back in but he kept going. As Kane entered the ring, Carlito had slid back out again and the ref signalled for the bell. Kane wins the match on count out but does not win the title.

Edge is finally back and this is his first match since his injury at the hands of Christian months ago. He was itching for some gold and expected to take it from the man who just won it – Bobby Lashley. For a man who’d be out for a few months, Edge showed very little ring rust. Bobby connected wth the dominator early but Edge managed to kick out. Both men duked it out with Edge getting closer to pinning the champ. Edge finally, out of nowhere, hits the Spear. He makes the cover. 1…….2……KICKOUT. Well, kickout may not be the appropriate word here. Lashley powered out like a madman. Edge was beside himself. Lashley threw Edge into the corner and then charged connecting with a football tackle. Between the bulk of Lashley and the turnbuckles, Edge had no where to go. He collapsed and Bobby made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Bobby Lashley is still the CSWA TV Champion.

There are only 4 matches left for the evening. Christian vs. Jeff Jarrett in a cage, Booker T vs Undertaker and then Negronomicon taking on the winner between the NWWA and CSWA world champions.

Booker T vs Undertaker was next. Booker came down and did not look pleased one bit. Undertaker started off like a bullet but the champ stayed with him. Booker hit the bookend early on but it didn’t stop the deadman. Undertaker even hit the Last Ride a few times but the Champ kept his wits. After controlling the match for the first 7 minutes, Undertaker took over. Both men threw each other out of the ring but both got back in. For the next 6 minutes, Undertaker showed why he was such a dominating champion. Finally, Booker locks in a sleeperhold and turns it into a pin attempt. With the help of the ropes and some tight pulling, Booker gets the 1-2-3 and is still the CSWA World Heavyweight Champion.

The steel cage match is next pitting NWWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett against Christian. Christian has waited for this match for a long time. Christian came down first and got into the cage. He was then followed by Jarrett and the rest of the Posse. As soon as Jarrett got in the ring, the door was locked and the bell rang. Christian grabbed Jarrett by the hair and tossed him. Jeff got up and gave Christian a vicious eyerake. Jarrett followed it up with a chop to the chest. Christian went to charge Jarrett in the corner but he moved at the last second. Jarrett then catapulted Christian into the cage but he immediately came back with crushing Jeff’s fingers in the cage and then hit him with the Unprettier and got a 2 count. Christian then went to the top of the cage and hit the B-52 kneedrop. He made the cover and somehow Jarrett kicked out just as the ref’s hand came down for the final count. Somehow Jarrett managed to get his senses back and from out of nowhere, he hit Christian with a guitar. He went for the cover but got a 2 count. Jarrett catapulted Christian into the cage again but Christian delivered a low blow and Jarrett went down. Christian went to the top of the cage again and hit another B-52 kneedrop. The ref came over and started to count 1…..2……3. Now Christian has to get out of the ring. The Posse are all there doing their best to prevent him from coming down. Jarrett got up and pulled Christian back in. Christian delivered an eye gouge but Jarrett came in with the Stroke and a pin attempt but only got 2. Jarrett gets him up and hits the Stroke again but still only a two count. Christian then hits a running powerslam into the cage but Jarrett knocks him down and goes to the top to deliver his own B-52 kneedrop. He makes the cover and the count goes 1….2…..3. Both men now have a pin in the ring and it is a race to get out of the cage. Jarrett goes over the top and starts to climb down. Christian does a sliding kick against the cage door and it flies open. Christian crawls out and hits the ground only a second before Jarrett does. Christian is the winner of the match and the NEW NWWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. After he is given the belt, the cage is raised and the Posse all attack Christian. They really try to soften him up for his next match against Booker T.

A beat down (newly crowned) world champion lays in the ring as the Posse leave and Booker makes his way down. He motions to Negronomicon that he will be taking that belt away from him. Negronomicon looks concerned. As the bell rings, Booker gets Christian to his feet and then hits the scissor kick. He goes for the cover but then is pulled out of the ring by the Posse. He is handcuffed to the ringside barrier as Christian is in the ring unconscious. The ref starts to count both men. Christian stirred a bit but was unable to make it to his feet. Booker was given the keys by Masters as the ref counted nine. Booker did not make it back into the ring before the 10 count and Christian never got to his feet so the ref called the match a double countout. Since neither man won, Negronomicon did not have to defend the Undisputed Championship. The Posse all left together and that was the end of the show.


Thanks for reading.
