Hello fans and welcome to the biggest PPV of the year – Wrestlemania – Live from Atlanta, GA. We have an action packed card in front of a sold out audience tonight so let’s get right down to business.
The first match of the night is our battle royal. The participants for this all include Ted Dibiasi, Mark Henry, Rhyno, Mike Knox, Goldust, Elijah Burke, Chavo Guerrero, JTG, Shad, Santino, Chris Masters, Cody Rhodes, Stevie Richards, (return of) The Bruiser, and Randy Orton. The winner of the match gets a title shot at whomever they want within their federation. At the last minute, we had some additions: HWF World Champion Donnie B, MW3, the Super Warrior and the Kraken.
Donnie B eliminates the Kraken. Randy Orton eliminates the Super Warrior. The Bruiser eliminates MW3. Donnie B eliminates Ted Dibiasi. Shad eliminates JTG. Stevie Richards eliminates Rhyno. Cody Rhodes eliminates his brother Goldust. Mark Henry eliminates Randy Orton. Santino eliminates Chavo. The Bruiser eliminates Mike Knox. Elijah Burke eliminates Chris Masters. Donnie B eliminates Shad after JTG came back out and distracted his partner. Stevie Richards eliminates Cody after Goldust distracted his brother. Santino got the upset after a reversal and elimination of Mark Henry. The Bruiser eliminated Elijah Burke. Donnie B eliminated Stevie Richards. Santino eliminated the Bruiser. The final two participants are Donnie B and Santino Marella. Donnie B eliminates Santino. Donnie B will get a future title shot at any HWF title he so chooses to be used in the next year. The Bruiser did not win so he also must retire.
The next match is Bobby Lashley taking on Edge. If Bobby loses, he must retire. Bobby kept the pace manageable but Edge was just too much for the champ. At the 7 minute mark, Edge hits a one man concerto on the champ and Bobby is not moving. Edge lands a flying elbow from the top rope and makes the cover for the 1-2-3. Edge is the NEW US CHAMPION. Bobby must retire. Bobby was helped to the back and got a standing ovation from the crowd.
Next up is Donnie B taking on Christian for the HWF World Heavyweight title. In a very quick match, Donnie B pins Christian after delivering a neckbreaker. Donnie B goes on to meet the CSWA champion.
Next is Booker T taking on Mr. Kennedy for the CSWA World Title. Booker owned the challenger and having the Super Warrior appear at ringside didn’t help Kennedy at all. Booker only went for 2 pin attempts the entire match – the first minute and the final minute. After a grueling 30 minute battle, the match is declared a draw. Booker will go on to meet Donnie B for a shot at Samoa Joe’s Undisputed Heavyweight title. After the match, Booker got on the mic and promised that he would defeat Donnie B and Samoa Joe tonight. If he does not, he will retire from the sport.
Following this lengthy battle was Batista vs. the Big Show. Batista was confident enough that he stated that if he loses, he will give his world title shot to the Big Show. The match went 11 minutes and the promise of a World title shot obviously gave Show the boost he needed. Show gets the win after delivering a thunderous chokeslam.
Next is Rey Mysterio taking on HHH. On the line is HHH’s spot. In 7 ½ minutes, HHH retains his spot after Mysterio got counted out.
Next is Fit Finley taking on Abyss with Finley’s world title shot on the line. This was the shortest match of the night. As soon as the bell rang, Finley tossed Abyss to the outside of the ring and knocked him out with the shillelagh. Abyss gets counted out at the 30 second mark.
Next up is the Intercontinental match with Mick Foley taking on the Undertaker. In 8 minutes, Undertaker gets the win after a chokeslam. Mick Foley is now unemployed.
Our first tag team match is up with CM Punk and Sting taking on the Dudleys. In 4 minutes, Devon gets counted out and Punk and Sting get the win but not the tag team titles. This brings out William Regal and he demands the match start over and this time will be a no dq/co match. The match now goes 21 minutes with probably the biggest threat the Dudleys have seen to date. CM Punk ends up hitting the Shining Wizard on Devon as Sting hits a Stinger Splash on Bubba. Punk makes the cover and with no partner to save him, gets the 1-2-3. CM Punk and Sting are the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS. The Dudleys will be entitled to a rematch…just not tonight.
John Cena was up next taking on the Kraken for the TV title. In 15 minutes, John Cena retains the belt after delivering an F-U in the middle of the ring.
Mr. Kennedy was up next defending the Cruiserweight title against Mohammed Hassan. In 3 quick minutes, Kennedy gets the win after connecting with the Mic Check. Hassan must now retire.
Next is our second tag match of the night with Hulk “TNA” Hogan and Ric “TNA” Flair taking on the team of MW3 and the Super Warrior. MW3 hits the MW2 kneelift right off the bat on Hogan and gets a 1 count. SW is tagged in and immediately is double teamed. The double teaming continues for 2 minutes but SW powers back with a power punch and knocks Flair out. Flair rolls to the outside and is unconscious. Hogan never even noticed. SW hits a cobra clutch on Hogan and he is almost out on his feet. MW3 is tagged back in and hits the MW2 kneelift again. He makes the cover and at the 6 minute mark, gets the 1-2-3. MW3 and SW are victorious. They both have a brief staredown in the ring but end up shaking hands and going their separate ways.
MVP vs. Shelton Benjamin is next with MVP’s US title shot on the line. In 16 minutes, MVP gets the win with the Drive-By.
Kane vs. Jeff Jarrett was next. Jarrett’s world title shot is on the line here. In 18 minutes, Kane gets the win and takes over Jarrett’s spot in the world title run.
Next is Donnie B taking on Booker T for the shot at Samoa Joe. In six minutes, Donnie B is victorious after Booker T gets counted out. Booker then gets on the mic and tells the wrestling world that he is done. He is immediately vacating the World title. He then walks out.
Immediately following, Jeff Meyers and William Regal come down and announce that there will be a battle royal with the World title contenders to crown a new champion. In this will be HHH, The Kraken, Ted Dibiasi, Mark Henry, Shawn Michaels, Kane, John Cena and Rey Mysterio. Rey eliminated HHH. Mark Henry eliminated Shawn Michaels. The Kraken eliminated John Cena (in payback for his not winning the TV title). Kane eliminates Ted Dibiasi. Rey Mysterio takes out Mark Henry with a big headscissors. Kane eliminates the Kraken. This leaves Mysterio vs. Kane with the winner becoming the new CSWA World Champion. In 22 minutes, after connecting with a 6-1-9, Rey Mysterio is the NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
The next tag team match is John Morrison and Matt Hardy taking on Carlito and the Great Khali. In 25 minutes, the team of Morrison and Hardy get the win after Khali is counted out and Carlito was unable to make the save.
Next on the card is Kurt Angle taking on Samoa Joe for the North American title. In 8 minutes, Kurt gets the Undisputed Champion in the ankle lock and gets him to tap out. Kurt is now the NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.
Next is AJ Styles vs. Jay Lethal for the X-division title. In 16 minutes, AJ retains the belt after a clean pin in the middle of the ring.
Our 3rd to last match has Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a loser must retire. It was announced just a few minutes ago that Jericho would also have to put his career on the line here too. The winner gets to keep their job and the other goes home for good. In 15 minutes in what was probably one of the best matches, Jericho got Michaels trapped in the Walls of Jericho right in the middle of the ring. Shawn had nowhere to go so he had no choice but to tap out. Shawn is now out of a job. All of his title shots now go to Chris.
Next we have Donnie B taking on Samoa Joe for the Undisputed Championship. Joe’s ankle still appeared to be bothering him but not enough to keep Donnie B at bay. This one goes 12 minutes and Joe gets the pin after locking in a modified camel clutch. Joe retains the Undisputed Championship.
The final match of the night is Undertaker vs. Negronomicon in a Hell in a Cell. In what was a total shocker, Undertaker locks in the Triangle choke and in the first few seconds of the match, Negronomicon taps out. N got up to leave and Undertaker stopped him. Taker gave him the thumb across the neck sign and N started to panic. He tried to get out of the cage but the refs wouldn’t open the door. For the next 28 minutes, Undertaker beat the holy hell out of Negronomicon. Taker hit a B-52 kneedrop, multiple tombstone piledrivers and Last Rides. N had a bit of offense in there but not too much. The enc came when Undertaker hit a Tombstone piledriver followed by the Last Ride and a powerslam THROUGH the cage wall. Undertaker then went for the pin and got the 3 count. He then walked out of the ring and was declared the winner of the match.
That’s all. Good night folks.

Texas Holdem Tourney came down to the final four – Rick Martel, The Rock, Lex Luger and Road Warrior Animal. Martel eliminated the Rock after Rock tried to bluff while Martel had quad aces. Luger dispatched Animal with ease. Animal had seemed frustrated early on (on tilt) and never recovered. The end came when Martel, who had tried to bluff with A 10 against Lugers Pocket K’s. The river came and while Luger had trip Kings, Martel ended up with a straight. Rick Martel won the 2nd Texas Holdem Tournament. Martel was pleased. Christian came down and handed over the title.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 3.2 – March updates leading up to Wrestlemania
Hello fans. We have a lot to cover so I’ll get started.
Over in the HWF, Edge issues a challenge to John Cena for his #1 contender spot for the US title. In what was a really good performance, Edge gets the win after a well placed DDT in the middle of the ring. Edge is now the #1 contender for the US title and will meet Bobby Lashley at Wrestlemania.
Mr. Kennedy challenged Lashley for his spot for the World title and won after hitting the mic check. Kennedy didn’t want to wrestle multiple times at the PPV so he allowed The Kraken to take his spot. The Kraken will meet John Cena at Wrestlemania for the TV title.
Christian challenged the Undertaker for his #1 spot for the World Title and won the match after Undertaker got counted out. Samoa Joe came down and distracted Undertaker so he did not make it back in before the 10 count. Christian will be going to take on the man who took the World title from him – Donnie B.
Mick Foley challenged Samoa Joe for his spot at the IC title and won. Mick Foley will go on to meet Undertaker at Wrestlemania for the Intercontinental title.
Jay Lethal defeated Donnie B via count out for his spot for the X-division title. Jay Lethal is now the #1 contender and will go to Wrestlemania to meet AJ Styles.
Kurt Angle defeats AJ Styles for his shot at the NA title and will go on to meet Samoa Joe for the NA title.
Mohammed Hassan defeats Super Warrior for his spot for the Cruiserweight title and will go on to meet Mr. Kennedy.
MW3 defeats Matt Hardy to move up in the US title rankings.
William Regal declares that certain people, drawn at random, will have to put their careers on the line at Wrestlemania. If someone loses, he must retire. Names that were drawn include Booker T, Bobby Lashley, Mohammed Hassan, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, The Bruiser, and the Super Warrior.
It was announced that Rob Van Dam will be signing a contract with either the HWF or CSWA. Based on who is forced into retirement, a new draft may happen and RVD will then be part of the draft
More to come…..

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 3.1
Hello fans. First off, I really have to apologize for the lack of information for this entire month. We ended up moving our headquarters from Colorado to Arizona but things didn't work out as well as we had hoped.
It turns out that the office space needed was much smaller than anticipated and we are still in search of a new place. Right now, we are occupying a small apartment like office and we just don't have room to get our stuff set up.
We have lots of information to pass along (a few surprise announcements will be thrown in) and I hope to start getting that sent in to you.
Without giving too much away, Wrestlemania has taken place and the results will be posted soon. One note though, the Texas Holdem Tournament was a huge success and I think you'll be surprised at who won.
More to follow so stay tuned.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.10
Hello fans. This will be the final newsletter from February. We wanted to just send out a very interesting update.
The team of Haas and AJ Styles got their tag team title shot. An interesting note before the match began was that Haas was heard in the back talking about how he would defeat the Dudley’s and if he couldn’t, he’d retire. In a match that barely went 3 minutes, the Dudley’s retained the belts when Charlie Haas got counted out. Charlie actually got put through a table and was unable to make it back in the ring. With this realization, Charlie Haas is no longer employed by the HWF. With his departure, that made two vacancies in the HWF top 10 for the IC and X-division titles. All members of the top 10’s will move up to fill those particular vacancies and the empty slots will be left at the end and will be fulfilled later on down the line.
Also of note the Texas Holdem Tourney that will be held the night before Wrestlemania has garnered such interest now that the tournament has been increased in size to hold 144 particpants (58 active wresters and 86 invited guests). Amazing.
Stay tuned as we continue our countdown to Wrestlemania.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.9
Hello fans. We have some great news to pass along so let’s get right on it.
The top 10’s are now all set up except for the tag team titles. A tournament will be held to fill the final 2 vacant spots in the top 6 for the tag team titles.
A video arrived at our office and it was from none other than MW3. MW3, in an accompanying note, stated that he wants this vignette run. After checking it out to make sure it wasn’t something horrible (like when HE came back (referring to Superstar Billy Pearl a few years ago)), we ran the video. Enjoy.
The shot is of MW3 sitting on a chair in the dark, a ceiling lamp swinging overhead....showing him and then putting him in the shadows.
"Been having a run of bad luck lately? Watching your career going down the poop-chute? Seeing people less talented, less intelligent, or both get ahead? Watching your paychecks get smaller and you’re worth being valued less?
Welcome to my world.
It seems that the powers that be have deemed that MW3 should suffer. That somehow, while others ruined federations with their legions of flunkies, and you turd-bags know who you are, are getting rewarded, some of us are getting the Shaft. No, not like Richard Roundtree, I'm not talkin' 'bout THAT Shaft.
So I've been put into matches lately...and lets say nothing has gone my way. I'm not gonna bitch about the matches I really lost....those few I did, but the matches where I had some turd on his back, and the ref can't seem to remember how to count to 3. Or when some jack-hole has me on my back, and suddenly the rules of physics bend and 3 seconds comes faster than it should.
Now, I get the ultimate slap in the face. Now I am wrestling the has-beens of the business. These old, broken down penniless bastards who can't seem to let go of the business and do us all a favor and walk their asses off into the sunset and die....no, they come back like a damn crack addict and beg for a shot...and what happens, they put these geezers in with me, and lo and behold some how they get their tights on over their Depends, take an obscene and possibly illegal amount of Geritol and somehow manage to pin MW3, The Masked Sensation.
Got to say...I'm baffled. I called in Scooby-Doo and the Gang in their little green van to solve this one, and they ain't got shit. And if THAT wasn't enough, some douche-bag lawyer in a suit says in my contract is a clause....that I got to wrestle tag team. So now, I got the bookers, the refs and now a bunch of low rent ambulance chasers trying to screw me. I figure how bad can it get, right? I might get a good partner?
Hurricane? Hurri-NO. That guy got up and walked out today. So much for that. Jeff Hardy? Jeff WHO-dy....nope. MVP? MV-uh-un. Golddust? Not so much.... Carilto? Carli-NO. I even asked for the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin....I was told, “NO Standard”.
But someone was gracious, and even had the gall to tell me to be grateful that I was going to get someone who would help turn my fortunes around.
The Super-Warrior.
The Super Warrior????!!!???
Now before I could tell them exactly what they could do with that, the low rent suits waived my contract in my face....and to add insult to injury...not only is the SW going to be the Masked Sensation's partner....but we'll be wrestling in the GDWF...yep, the good old Geritol-Depends Wrestling Fed. And it gets even better. Oh yeah...seems that you people out there in TV land liked last weeks match so much, that I have to team up with my idiot partner AGAIN, and wrestle Geriatric Hulk Hogan and the "Nature Moobs" Ric Flair.....AGAIN. In fact, to fulfill my contract and get through this, the Stupid Warrior and I have to wrestle AND beat every one of the tag teams in not only the GDWF, but the HWF and CSWA.
Hogan...Flair....eat your damn fiber....take your heart pills....and pray to God, because until I find a way out of my contract and stop getting screwed by the refs around here, I am going to be beating the hell out you and every other old bastard who can lace their boots and put on tights over their overweight bodies.
And Warrior...I swear to god, you can be a part of the solution that get's me out of here, or you can be a part of the problem...in which case, I am going to do to you what i did to our friend here....."
Camera pans over to the left and there we see, tied to a chair, with a bloody steel chair on the ground next to him is "The Living Legend" Larry Zybysko. Zybysko is in bad shape and is out cold.
"Take a look Warrior....if you screw me, this is going to be you. Hogan...Flair...you're next "brother"....WHOOOOOOOO!!!
In a response to what MW3 posted, the Super Warrior had this to add:
“You know MW3, I don’t relish being teamed up with you either. The fact that I, a being who is greater than anyone around, has to be tied down to such a mortal as yourself. With my superior intelligence, I can see how this could work out for us. We may not like each other but we have a common ground. I, too, would like to see Hogan and Flair get buried and disappear for good. As the saying goes, the old must make way for the new and we are “the new”. I am above the petty comments you have made but I will promise you that if YOU do not hold up your end of the bargain, your END will come sooner than you can even comprehend. Hogan and Flair: you are the past. We are the future. We will introduce you to pastures unknown and put you out for grazing.
I have accepted one last shot at Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy, there will be no excuses. You will have no where to go. You will need to bring your “A” game as I do not plan on leaving without the gold. If fate intervenes and doesn’t allow for it to happen, then so be it. This warrior has been down in the ashes of a world gone blind and will rise to once again become a superior force to reckon with. So Sayeth the Warrior.”
This was pretty exciting to watch but two people in the back who were watching it didn’t feel the same way. Yes, I’m referring to Hulk “TNA” Hogan and Ric “TNA” Flair. Surprisingly, Hogan and Flair shared the same platform but Hogan, the egomaniac, decided he got to talk first:
“Well you know Super Warrior brother, I have beaten your namesake. The Ultimate Warrior was an ultimate joke. He thought he could carry the world on his shoulders and it was obvious he failed. Like him, brother, you will fail and I will be sure that humiliation follows. And whatcha gonna do when the largest arms in the world and the power of Hulkamania tear you in two….?”
Ric then got on the mic: “Wooo. You know MW3, you talk a good game. You think you can run in the same race as us. That is a laugh. The Nature Boy is the greatest wrestler on the planet. My partner, Hulk Hogan, is the greatest entertainer in the business. Together we will take out any threat and will reign supreme as the tag team champions of the world. My geriatric little finger could whip your ass from Syracuse to San Diego without even breaking a sweat. We have nothing to fear from you two losers and we will be the ones who will be standing victorious. WOOOOOO!”
There are currently two spots left for the tag team titles. A tag team tournament would be held with all members of the roster. There are some teams who are currently getting shots at the titles. If they end up as one of the final two, they will get an additional shot. If the champs win it, then the spot will be left vacant.
The teams participating in this include:
From the CSWA:
DX
Cryme Tyme
Elijah Burke & Shelton Benjamin
Jeff Hardy & the Kraken
Mark Henry & MVP
Matt Hardy & John Morrison
MW3 & the Super Warrior
HWF
Big Show & Fit Finley
Mick Foley & Abyss
Chris Daniels & Kurt Angle
Jay Lethal & Cody Rhodes
Carlito & the Great Khali
The Dudleys
AJ Styles & Charlie Haas
CM Punk & Sting
Interpromotional
Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair
In the first round:
Shawn Michaels is pinned by Matt Hardy following a twist of fate.
MVP and Mark Henry defeated the team of Hogan and Flair after Flair was taken out by MW3 and Hogan was distracted by SW.
Abyss & Mick Foley advanced over the team of CM Punk and Sting.
The Kraken and & Jeff Hardy defeated the team of AJ Styles and Charlie Haas
Cryme Tyme advances over the team of Big Show and Fit Finley
Carlito and the Great Khali advance over the team of MW3 and the Super Warrior after Hogan and Flair came out to distract them.
The Dudleys and Kurt Angle/Chris Daniels went to a 30 minute time limit draw.
Jay Lethal and Cody Rhodes advanced over Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin
In the second round:
There is one bye due to the time limit draw between the Dudleys and Angle/Daniels
John Morrison and Matt Hardy got the bye.
Great Khali and Carlito advance over Abyss and Mick Foley
Jay Lethal and Cody Rhodes advance over MVP and Mark Henry.
The Kraken and Jeff Hardy advance after Cryme Tyme got counted out.
In the third round:
Morrison and Hardy advance over Carlito and the Great Khali
Jeff Hardy and the Kraken advance over Lethal & Rhodes
In the finals, the Kraken and Jeff Hardy defeat the team of John Morrison and Matt Hardy. Since they made it this far, Morrison and Matt Hardy will get the 6th spot for the tag team titles.
In a sign of good faith, the teams of Carlito/Khali and Lethal & Rhodes will also be given opportunities. This expands the tag team title hunt to 8 teams. A match was held between these participants to see who would be ranked #7 and #8. Carlito and Khali won the match by countout so they will be ranked higher.
That is all for now.
The top 10’s are now all set up except for the tag team titles. A tournament will be held to fill the final 2 vacant spots in the top 6 for the tag team titles.
A video arrived at our office and it was from none other than MW3. MW3, in an accompanying note, stated that he wants this vignette run.

These old, broken down penniless bastards who can't seem to let go of the business and do us all a favor and walk their asses off into the sunset and die....no, they come back like a damn crack addict and beg for a shot...and what happens, they put these geezers in with me, and lo and behold some how they get their tights on over their Depends, take an obscene and possibly illegal amount of Geritol and somehow manage to pin MW3, The Masked Sensation.
Got to say...I'm baffled. I called in Scooby-Doo and the Gang in their little green van to solve this one, and they ain't got shit. And if THAT wasn't enough, some douche-bag lawyer in a suit says in my contract is a clause....that I got to wrestle tag team. So now, I got the bookers, the refs and now a bunch of low rent ambulance chasers trying to screw me. I figure how bad can it get, right? I might get a good partner?
Hurricane? Hurri-NO. That guy got up and walked out today. So much for that. Jeff Hardy? Jeff WHO-dy....nope. MVP? MV-uh-un. Golddust? Not so much.... Carilto? Carli-NO. I even asked for the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin....I was told, “NO Standard”.
But someone was gracious, and even had the gall to tell me to be grateful that I was going to get someone who would help turn my fortunes around.
The Super-Warrior.
The Super Warrior????!!!???
Now before I could tell them exactly what they could do with that, the low rent suits waived my contract in my face....and to add insult to injury...not only is the SW going to be the Masked Sensation's partner....but we'll be wrestling in the GDWF...yep, the good old Geritol-Depends Wrestling Fed. And it gets even better. Oh yeah...seems that you people out there in TV land liked last weeks match so much, that I have to team up with my idiot partner AGAIN, and wrestle Geriatric Hulk Hogan and the "Nature Moobs" Ric Flair.....AGAIN. In fact, to fulfill my contract and get through this, the Stupid Warrior and I have to wrestle AND beat every one of the tag teams in not only the GDWF, but the HWF and CSWA.
Hogan...Flair....eat your damn fiber....take your heart pills....and pray to God, because until I find a way out of my contract and stop getting screwed by the refs around here, I am going to be beating the hell out you and every other old bastard who can lace their boots and put on tights over their overweight bodies.
And Warrior...I swear to god, you can be a part of the solution that get's me out of here, or you can be a part of the problem...in which case, I am going to do to you what i did to our friend here....."
Camera pans over to the left and there we see, tied to a chair, with a bloody steel chair on the ground next to him is "The Living Legend" Larry Zybysko. Zybysko is in bad shape and is out cold.
"Take a look Warrior....if you screw me, this is going to be you. Hogan...Flair...you're next "brother"....WHOOOOOOOO!!!
In a response to what MW3 posted, the Super Warrior had this to add:
“You know MW3
I have accepted one last shot at Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy, there will be no excuses. You will have no where to go. You will need to bring your “A” game as I do not plan on leaving without the gold. If fate intervenes and doesn’t allow for it to happen, then so be it. This warrior has been down in the ashes of a world gone blind and will rise to once again become a superior force to reckon with. So Sayeth the Warrior.”
This was pretty exciting to watch but two people in the back who were watching it didn’t feel the same way. Yes, I’m referring to Hulk “TNA” Hogan and Ric “TNA” Flair. Surprisingly, Hogan and Flair shared the same platform but Hogan, the egomaniac, decided he got to talk first:
“Well you know Super Warrior brother, I have beaten your namesake. The Ultimate Warrior was an ultimate joke. He thought he could carry the world on his shoulders and it was obvious he failed. Like him, brother, you will fail and I will be sure that humiliation follows. And whatcha gonna do when the largest arms in the world and the power of Hulkamania tear you in two….?”
Ric then got on the mic: “Wooo. You know MW3, you talk a good game. You think you can run in the same race as us. That is a laugh. The Nature Boy is the greatest wrestler on the planet. My partner, Hulk Hogan, is the greatest entertainer in the business. Together we will take out any threat and will reign supreme as the tag team champions of the world. My geriatric little finger could whip your ass from Syracuse to San Diego without even breaking a sweat. We have nothing to fear from you two losers and we will be the ones who will be standing victorious. WOOOOOO!”
There are currently two spots left for the tag team titles. A tag team tournament would be held with all members of the roster. There are some teams who are currently getting shots at the titles. If they end up as one of the final two, they will get an additional shot. If the champs win it, then the spot will be left vacant.
The teams participating in this include:
From the CSWA:
DX
Cryme Tyme
Elijah Burke & Shelton Benjamin
Jeff Hardy & the Kraken
Mark Henry & MVP
Matt Hardy & John Morrison
MW3 & the Super Warrior
HWF
Big Show & Fit Finley
Mick Foley & Abyss
Chris Daniels & Kurt Angle
Jay Lethal & Cody Rhodes
Carlito & the Great Khali
The Dudleys
AJ Styles & Charlie Haas
CM Punk & Sting
Interpromotional
Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair
In the first round:
Shawn Michaels is pinned by Matt Hardy following a twist of fate.
MVP and Mark Henry defeated the team of Hogan and Flair after Flair was taken out by MW3 and Hogan was distracted by SW.
Abyss & Mick Foley advanced over the team of CM Punk and Sting.
The Kraken and & Jeff Hardy defeated the team of AJ Styles and Charlie Haas
Cryme Tyme advances over the team of Big Show and Fit Finley
Carlito and the Great Khali advance over the team of MW3 and the Super Warrior after Hogan and Flair came out to distract them.
The Dudleys and Kurt Angle/Chris Daniels went to a 30 minute time limit draw.
Jay Lethal and Cody Rhodes advanced over Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin
In the second round:
There is one bye due to the time limit draw between the Dudleys and Angle/Daniels
John Morrison and Matt Hardy got the bye.
Great Khali and Carlito advance over Abyss and Mick Foley
Jay Lethal and Cody Rhodes advance over MVP and Mark Henry.
The Kraken and Jeff Hardy advance after Cryme Tyme got counted out.
In the third round:
Morrison and Hardy advance over Carlito and the Great Khali
Jeff Hardy and the Kraken advance over Lethal & Rhodes
In the finals, the Kraken and Jeff Hardy defeat the team of John Morrison and Matt Hardy. Since they made it this far, Morrison and Matt Hardy will get the 6th spot for the tag team titles.
In a sign of good faith, the teams of Carlito/Khali and Lethal & Rhodes will also be given opportunities. This expands the tag team title hunt to 8 teams. A match was held between these participants to see who would be ranked #7 and #8. Carlito and Khali won the match by countout so they will be ranked higher.
That is all for now.
Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.8
Hello fans. There was one piece of information we forgot to discuss in the last issue. Edge had gone in search for Mr. Meyers. He found him talking to the Hurricane. Hurricane had his bags packed and was thanking Mr. Meyers for the opportunity to wrestle. “You know Shane, you are always welcome back if you change your mind”. The Hurricane thanked him and in a homage to Snagglepuss, he “exited, stage left.” Edge approached Mr. Meyers and told him about what happened to Mr. Regal and asked if there was an opportunity for him to get another shot at Lashley. “Mr. Meyers, I know I can beat him. I did it once before. I really want this shot. What can I do to earn it?” “Well Edge, you certainly showed everyone what you can do. But, you did lose the belt right back to him. So, you ask what you can do. Well, the drawing for the Top 10 will be taking place and Donnie B and I will be running it in William’s absence. I tell you what though. I want you go out and wrestle Bobby in a non-title match. If you win, I will guarantee you a title shot at him. I won’t be able to guarantee when but it will be a shot. What do you say?” “Thanks Mr. Meyers. I won’t let you down.” Edge then headed off to the ring for his match against Lashley.
In a 25 minute battle that was a recap of their PPV match, Edge gets a win over the champ after delivering a Spear. He made the cover in the middle of the ring and got the 1-2-3. Edge is now in contention for the US title.
We also got back a reply from the Super Warrior. He had this to say:
“ A warrior doesn't back down from any challenge so consider yours accepted. The joke will be on you next time we meet, I will deliver the PUNCHline and I will have the last laugh! So sayeth the Super Warrior. ”
For the second week in a row, Hogan and Flair were put into a match against MW3 and the Super Warrior. This time, they were told that a World Tag Team title shot lay in the balance. This match only went 3 minutes. For the first two minutes, SW and MW3 double-teamed Hogan. Hogan came back with a back rake and then SW tossed him out of the ring. MW3 followed him out and delivered a superkick. Hogan went down. Flair jumped down to try to help him but the ref counted pretty fast and Hogan was counted out. MW3 and the Super Warrior now are in line for a tag team title shot.
HWF World Champion The Original Big Daddy Donnie B has stated that he will indeed put a title match on the line against AJ Styles if he loses in his quest for the X-division title.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.7 – PPV fallout
Well fans, we are back having survived another PPV. With the end of this one, we start on the road to Wrestlemania which will be taking place next month in Atlanta, GA. In hindsight, I guess that location would have been a better one for having Michael Hayes as a guest host wrestler but oh well. Once again, the Negronomicon got his butt handed to him and the fans just love it. We also saw 2x HWF World Champ Christian lose the belt to the Original Big Daddy Donnie B. The fact that Donnie B won that match AND won against Booker T (granted it was by countout but a win is a win) was just plain explosive. Mr. Kennedy continues his winning streak as the CSWA Cruiserweight Champion. We saw US Champion Bobby Lashley lose and regain the title in the same night after losing to and then defeating Edge. Booker T is still the CSWA World Champion and John Cena retained the TV title after defeating Ted Dibiasi Jr. Ted was on a roll and is looking to get back into the run of things. IC Champion the Undertaker also had a rough night after losing the belt to Randy Orton but then turning around and defeating him to regain the title. Samoa Joe is still the Undisputed Champion as well as the North American champion defeating Donnie B for the Undisputed title and Mick Foley for the NA title. AJ Styles also retained the X-Division title. The Dudley’s also retained the Tag Team belts after defeating Cryme Tyme.
After not getting any air-time, the Hurricane has asked to be let out of his contract. We wish him the best in all that he decides to pursue. With the departure of the Hurricane, that allowed for one spot in the texas holdem tournament to be filled. None other than Tommy “Wildfire” Rich stepped up and took that spot.
In the back, Donnie B was hanging out in the VIP room and he was approached by Edge. “Hey Mr. B. How’s it going?” Donnie B replied “Good Edge. What can I do for you?” “Well” Edge continued, “you know that at the PPV, I defeated Bobby Lashley to become the US Champion. I’m wondering if you could use your influence and get me another match.” “Well, I don’t have any control at all in the CSWA and William Regal is the GM so you may want to speak with him directly.” “Thanks Mr. B. I will go talk with Mr. Regal. I appreciate it and congrats again on your win.” Edge leaves and Donnie B kicks back and relaxes with his title.
William Regal comes in and sits down with Donnie B. DB tells William about the conversation he just had with Edge. “You know, my good man, I still don’t think I’m getting the respect that I should be as GM.” “Oh, I don’t know about that,” Donnie B said. “I think Edge just wanted me to pull some strings but I think he really knows better.” One topic they talked about is that Donnie B is number one contender for X-Division title. He is told by William Regal that if he accepts the shot and loses, he must give AJ a shot at the World Title. Donnie B asks if he can give the shot away to someone of his choosing. Regal says he will think on it.
At this point, Randy Orton walked in. “I see how it is. The two of you are just conspiring against me…holding me back. Well, I’m here to tell you this Mr. GM; Mr HWF owner. I’m not taking it anymore. I am tired of getting screwed over by the two of you. Yeah, DB, I know you are pulling Regal’s strings here so don’t play dumb.” Regal interrupted “Listen here you toe-jam maggot, I am in charge – not Mr. B. I make the matches, I pull the strings of puppets such as yourself. You will listen to me or you will pay the penalty.” At this point, Orton sucker punches Regal and threw him into one of the office walls and Regal went INTO it. He then attacked Donnie B but the HWF owner was ready for him and had a chair handy. “Ok Orton. You’ve done it now. Until Regal is back up and running, you are hereby SUSPENDED without pay AND this little outburst just cost you ANY hope you ever had of getting ANY title shot from here on out. Stop and think before you act. Your next action will determine if you will even have a job. Now get out. Don’t call us…we’ll call you.” Orton stomped out of the room.
Edge then walked in and asked what about Lashley. DB told him to find Mr. Meyers as he is in the building tonight. He’ll give you an answer.
Both MW3 and the Super Warrior have been on losing streaks as of late. They both are needing to find some inspiration to get themselves back on track. At the same time, Hogan and Flair have been complaining about not getting any air time. Before the attack, Regal made a match between the 4 men.
The tag team match between MW3 and the Super Warrior and the team of Hogan and Flair ended up going to a 30 minute draw. Both Hogan and Flair got pins but their opponents managed to continue making the save. Hogan and Flair dominated the bout but just couldn’t get the job done. Hogan and Flair are still demanding a tag team title shot so we’ll see what Regal thinks when he comes back.
In other news, the Negronomicon has expressed is unhappiness with his current contract (what a shocker!). Too bad Donnie B nor William Regal will give him the time of day. Good for them.
In our first piece of news regarding a match at Wrestlemania is that we have our first match confirmed for the show: The Undertaker vs. Negronomicon in a Hell in the Cell. Undertaker has stated that he has a grudge to settle with his former boss. He also acknowledged that if he is still holding a title when Wrestlemania comes around, he will defend the title on the same show. Also, the second Texas Holdem Tournament will be taking place the night before. We will have a great turnout.
Rey Mysterio is the #1 contender for the CSWA World title. Bobby Lashley, the US Champion, challenges Mysterio for that shot. Mysterio says he will accept provided Lashley puts the US title on the line. Bobby accepts and states that if he cannot beat Mysterio, he will retire from the sport. In 7 minutes, Bobby dominates Rey and pins him after a vicious boot to the gut.
As noted earlier, Super Warrior has been on a bit of a losing streak and he cut this promo for us: “Misterrrrrrr Kennedyyyy!!! Every superhero has his kryptonite and it seems you have found mine. The horrific sounds coming from that enormous orifice in your face is enough to weaken even the strongest of heroes but make no mistake you big-mouthed buffoon, I will find a way to eventually win the day in the end like every good hero does!”
After hearing this, Mr. Kennedy did indeed have a reply for the Super Warrior: “Warrior? HA. Super? HA HA. You really are Super though…a Super Joke. How many times did I beat you? 3 times in the span of a couple of months. You’re not even a blip on my radar. But I suppose you still want to take on the Master, don’t you? So how about this? I will give you ONE last match – I’ll even make it no DQ. You win, you become the champ. I of course, would get my rematch so I’m not worried about that. If you lose though, you will never challenge for any title that I currently hold OR am in contention for. What do you say? Are you up to the challenge or will you go slink back down to the rock you’ve been hiding under? I await your reply with anticipation….well, actually no. It’s up to you Super Joke.”
We are waiting on a reply from the Super Warrior at this time.
Stay tuned as the buildup for Wrestlemania continue….

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.6 – Night of Champions PPV
Hello fans. Welcome to our second PPV of the year – Night of Champions. We are honored to begin our show with the introduction of two legends from this sport – Michael PS Hayes and Kevin Von Erich. Both men come out to “Badstreet USA” blaring over the speakers. Kevin was doing a little jig walking down to the ring with Hayes. Kevin got on the mic first and thanked the fans for supporting him and his family throughout their careers. Kevin recaps about his brothers’ accomplishments and lays white roses in the ring – one for each member of his family that has passed away. Michael takes over and says that the fans here can’t compare to those from his day. The fans now only want to see “Oh Sh!t” moments and couldn’t appreciate what they did in the past – working 60 minute matches and coming back the next day for more. He then says that the fans of today are actually really smart and at least no one (in recent memory) has tried to really hurt him for beating up the beloved Von Erichs in the ring. Kevin and Michael reminisce for a couple of more minutes and then Michael says that he has an announcement to make. For one night only, Kevin and Michael will come out of retirement to face the no-good rat-skunk Negronomicon in the ring. Both men are actually looking forward to it. They thank the fans and then Kevin stops and says he gets to announce the first match of the evening. It will be HWF World Champion Christian taking on The Original Big Daddy Donnie B.
Donnie B comes to the ring first followed by Christian. Christian shows Donnie B the title and then hands it to the ref. The bell rings. Christian starts off with an inverted DDT but Donnie B hits a superplex. Christian hits a dropkick and then gets tossed out of the ring. He is back in at 7. Christian goes for the one man concerto but Donnie B gets out of the way. Donnie B is tossed out of the ring but hops back in at 2. He then hits another superplex on the champ and goes for a pin. Christian kicks out at 2. Christian hits a flapjack but Donnie B hits another superplex. Christian hits another DDT and Donnie B hits a flying dropkick. Donnie B connects with another superplex and makes the cover. The ref counts 1….2…..3. Donnie B has just defeated Christian to become the NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Unbelievable. Christian is no longer the longest reigning champion so he does not get an immediate rematch.
Our second match on the card is MW3 taking on MVP. MVP starts off strong hitting a facebreaker knee smash. MW3 comes back with an insuguri. MW3 hits a swinging neckbreaker and MVP hits a snap scoop powerslam. MW3 then hits the MW3 driver but MVP rolls out of the ring to prevent a pin attempt. After messing around outside the ring, he eventually makes it back in. He locks in a three quarter facelock ending MW3 offensive run. MVP follows it up with a snap overhead belly to belly suplex. MW3 hits a MW2 kneelift out of nowhere and goes for the pin. MVP kicks out at 2. MW3 hits a reverse neckbreaker but MVP hits a snap scoop powerslam. MVP hits a big running boot. MVP then hits the drive by and goes for a pin but MW3 kicks out at 2. MVP hits the drive by again for another 2 count. An MW3 superkick is met by a playmaker from MVP. MVP tries to toss MW3 out of the ring but that is nullified. MW3 goes to offer friendship but kicks MVP in the groin. MVP answers with a dragon screw. MVP locks in the three quarter facelock and turns it into a pin. With his feet on the ropes, MVP gets the 1-2-3. MVP is the winner of this match.
The third match is brother vs. brother with Matt Hardy taking on his brother Jeff. This did not go long at all. In 5 minutes, Matt beat Jeff after hitting him with a flying clothesline.
The Undisputed Champion and current North American Champion Samoa Joe came out to defend the title against Mick Foley. Mick controlled the majority of the match until at the 11 minute mark, Joe tossed Mick to the outside. He followed him out and hit a muscle buster right on the steel steps. Joe rolled back in and waited for the 10 count. Mick was not able to make it back in the ring and ended up getting counted out. Joe retains the NA title.
Up next is the Super Warrior taking on Mr. Kennedy for the Cruiserweight title. As the bell rang, Kennedy jumped out of the ring and started to walk away. He was in the process of getting counted out but William Regal came out and told the ref to stop counting. Obviously Mr. Kennedy didn’t get the memo. This match is a no countout / DQ match. He needed to get back in the ring so this bout could continue. Kennedy hit the mic check right off the bat and SW never came back from it. Kennedy controlled the match and SW did very little but take the abuse and kick out of pin attempts. In 20 minutes, Kennedy gets the win after hitting an inverted superplex. Kennedy retains the Cruiserweight title.
Our first tag team match of the night is up and it is DX taking on CM Punk and Sting. HHH and CM Punk started off this match. HHH tagged out early and Michaels stayed in for the majority of the match. This match went 18 minutes and Shawn fell victim to the Shining Wizard. CM Punk and Sting are the winners of this match. It is very possible they may be getting a title match soon.
Our second tag match is the Dudley’s defending the World Tag Team titles against Cryme Tyme. In 18 minutes, the Dudley’s are victorious and retain the titles after Bubba hit a nasty bodyslam on JTG.
Next up was Fit Finley taking on the Big Show. In 8 ½ minutes, Big Show tosses Finley out of the ring and Finley is unable to make it back into the ring. Big Show gets the win via countout.
Out next comes our guest host wrestlers Michael Hayes and Kevin Von Erich. They called down the Negronomicon for the next match. Negronomicon came out and said that there was no way he was going to wrestle in a handicap match. “I’ll tell you old fogies something…one of you can get your ass kicked here tonight. I don’t care which. Flip a coin.” So they did and the winning flip goes to Michael PS Hayes. Hayes starts off with his funky strut and N bitch slaps him. Hayes locks in a grinding headlock which N reverses and hits a flying elbow. Michael then hits a boot to the gut of N. A big bodyslam from Hayes and N is screaming in pain (ala old school Eddie Gilbert). N tosses Hayes out of the ring but Kevin helps him back in and Hayes hits the Hot’lanta suplex and goes for a pin but N kicks out at 2. N hits a flying elbow. Hayes hits a freefall legdrop and goes for a pin but N kicks out. Hayes hits a bodyslam and N kicks him in the gut. Hayes goes to the ropes and doesn’t do anything so N hits him with a flying elbow. Another bodyslam from Hayes and N hits a dragon suplex. N goes for the gutbusta suplex off the ropes but Hayes nullifies it. Hayes hits another freefall legdrop but just gets a 2 count. Hayes lands a fist drop and goes for a pin but N kicks out. N hits a snap suplex and goes for a pin but the slow count ref only gives him 2. N hits the black doom and goes for the pin but Kevin Von Erich pulls the ref out. What the heck? Kevin gets in the ring and rocks N with some discuss punches and then locks in the CLAW. N is screaming in pain and trying to tap out but there is no ref. Kevin gets out of the ring and helps the ref back in apologizing for what he did. Hayes hits a Grits Smash and goes for a cover. With some pulling of the tights and his feet on the ropes, he gets the 1-2-3. Michael Hayes (with an assist from Kevin Von Erich) gets the win. Hayes starts going on about how he did it all alone and this ticks off Kevin. Kevin then discuss punches Hayes and puts the Claw on him. Hayes is screaming in the ring and taps out. The ref, clueless as to what is going on, rings the bell again and raises Kevin’s hand in victory. Hayes and Von Erich leave separately.
Next up is Batista taking on Kurt Angle. This match goes 12 minutes and in the end, the power of Batista is just too much for the former Olympic hero and Kurt fails to kick out after a devastating Batista Bomb.

CSWA TV Champ John Cena is out to defend the title against the former title holder Ted Dibiasi Jr. This one goes 11 minutes and after leaving a boot imprint on the face of Ted, Cena makes the cover and gets the win. Cena retains the TV title.
Next is the battle of the World Champions. HWF Champ Donnie B is taking on CSWA Booker T. In the shortest match of the night, Booker hits a spinning smash but Donnie B tosses Booker out of the ring. DB handcuffs Booker to the ringside post. Booker is freaking out. Donnie B ends up with the win via countout and will go on to meet Samoa Joe for the Undisputed Championship.
CSWA US Champion Bobby Lashley is up next against Edge. This one goes 18 minutes and in the third biggest shocker of the night, Edge defeats Bobby Lashley to win the US title. Lashley, the longest reigning champion, demands a rematch. Edge tries to refuse but William Regal comes out and makes the match. In 4 minutes, Edge ends up getting counted out and Lashley wins via CO but doesn’t win the title. Lashley was a tad upset here and demanded Regal come out to clear it up. Regal came out and agreed with Lashley that Edge took a shortcut and it would not fly. He said that Lashley and Edge will meet again but this time in a steel cage. In a brutal and bloody 18 minute battle, Lashley pins Edge with a football tackle into the cage wall. Bobby then climbs out of the ring and is declared the winner of the match and once again, the US Champion.
Our second to last match is the Undertaker taking on Randy Orton for the Intercontinental title. Regal came out before the match began and said that he didn’t want what happened earlier to happen in this match so this match and the final one of the night would all be steel cage matches. In 16 minutes, Randy puts the Undertaker down with an RKO that followed a catapult into the cage wall. Randy then made for the door and made it out becoming the new HWF Intercontinental Champion.
The Undertaker then demanded his rematch immediately. As soon as the bell rang, a masked person ran down to the ring and threw in a chain to the Undertaker. Taker then choked the holy hell out of Orton. He then chained Orton to the cage wall. Undertaker then nailed a big boot. He then climbed over the cage wall and a trapped Orton had nowhere to go. Undertaker regains the IC title in 3 minutes with the escape out of the cage.
The final match of the night is for the Undisputed Championship held by Samoa Joe taking on The Original Big Daddy Donnie B. Joe immediately goes to the top of the cage and hits a flying double elbow to the groin. Donnie B is not moving. Joe makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. He then walks out of the cage and is declared the winner of the match and still the Undisputed Champion at the 1 minute mark.
That is all for now. Goodnight everyone.
Donnie B comes to the ring first followed by Christian. Christian shows Donnie B the title and then hands it to the ref. The bell rings. Christian starts off with an inverted DDT but Donnie B hits a superplex. Christian hits a dropkick and then gets tossed out of the ring. He is back in at 7. Christian goes for the one man concerto but Donnie B gets out of the way. Donnie B is tossed out of the ring but hops back in at 2. He then hits another superplex on the champ and goes for a pin. Christian kicks out at 2. Christian hits a flapjack but Donnie B hits another superplex. Christian hits another DDT and Donnie B hits a flying dropkick. Donnie B connects with another superplex and makes the cover. The ref counts 1….2…..3. Donnie B has just defeated Christian to become the NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Unbelievable. Christian is no longer the longest reigning champion so he does not get an immediate rematch.
Our second match on the card is MW3 taking on MVP. MVP starts off strong hitting a facebreaker knee smash. MW3 comes back with an insuguri. MW3 hits a swinging neckbreaker and MVP hits a snap scoop powerslam. MW3 then hits the MW3 driver but MVP rolls out of the ring to prevent a pin attempt. After messing around outside the ring, he eventually makes it back in. He locks in a three quarter facelock ending MW3 offensive run. MVP follows it up with a snap overhead belly to belly suplex. MW3 hits a MW2 kneelift out of nowhere and goes for the pin. MVP kicks out at 2. MW3 hits a reverse neckbreaker but MVP hits a snap scoop powerslam. MVP hits a big running boot. MVP then hits the drive by and goes for a pin but MW3 kicks out at 2. MVP hits the drive by again for another 2 count. An MW3 superkick is met by a playmaker from MVP. MVP tries to toss MW3 out of the ring but that is nullified. MW3 goes to offer friendship but kicks MVP in the groin. MVP answers with a dragon screw. MVP locks in the three quarter facelock and turns it into a pin. With his feet on the ropes, MVP gets the 1-2-3. MVP is the winner of this match.
The third match is brother vs. brother with Matt Hardy taking on his brother Jeff. This did not go long at all. In 5 minutes, Matt beat Jeff after hitting him with a flying clothesline.
The Undisputed Champion and current North American Champion Samoa Joe came out to defend the title against Mick Foley. Mick controlled the majority of the match until at the 11 minute mark, Joe tossed Mick to the outside. He followed him out and hit a muscle buster right on the steel steps. Joe rolled back in and waited for the 10 count. Mick was not able to make it back in the ring and ended up getting counted out. Joe retains the NA title.
Up next is the Super Warrior taking on Mr. Kennedy for the Cruiserweight title. As the bell rang, Kennedy jumped out of the ring and started to walk away. He was in the process of getting counted out but William Regal came out and told the ref to stop counting. Obviously Mr. Kennedy didn’t get the memo. This match is a no countout / DQ match. He needed to get back in the ring so this bout could continue. Kennedy hit the mic check right off the bat and SW never came back from it. Kennedy controlled the match and SW did very little but take the abuse and kick out of pin attempts. In 20 minutes, Kennedy gets the win after hitting an inverted superplex. Kennedy retains the Cruiserweight title.
Our first tag team match of the night is up and it is DX taking on CM Punk and Sting. HHH and CM Punk started off this match. HHH tagged out early and Michaels stayed in for the majority of the match. This match went 18 minutes and Shawn fell victim to the Shining Wizard. CM Punk and Sting are the winners of this match. It is very possible they may be getting a title match soon.
Our second tag match is the Dudley’s defending the World Tag Team titles against Cryme Tyme. In 18 minutes, the Dudley’s are victorious and retain the titles after Bubba hit a nasty bodyslam on JTG.
Next up was Fit Finley taking on the Big Show. In 8 ½ minutes, Big Show tosses Finley out of the ring and Finley is unable to make it back into the ring. Big Show gets the win via countout.
Out next comes our guest host wrestlers Michael Hayes and Kevin Von Erich. They called down the Negronomicon for the next match. Negronomicon came out and said that there was no way he was going to wrestle in a handicap match. “I’ll tell you old fogies something…one of you can get your ass kicked here tonight. I don’t care which. Flip a coin.” So they did and the winning flip goes to Michael PS Hayes. Hayes starts off with his funky strut and N bitch slaps him. Hayes locks in a grinding headlock which N reverses and hits a flying elbow. Michael then hits a boot to the gut of N. A big bodyslam from Hayes and N is screaming in pain (ala old school Eddie Gilbert). N tosses Hayes out of the ring but Kevin helps him back in and Hayes hits the Hot’lanta suplex and goes for a pin but N kicks out at 2. N hits a flying elbow. Hayes hits a freefall legdrop and goes for a pin but N kicks out. Hayes hits a bodyslam and N kicks him in the gut. Hayes goes to the ropes and doesn’t do anything so N hits him with a flying elbow. Another bodyslam from Hayes and N hits a dragon suplex. N goes for the gutbusta suplex off the ropes but Hayes nullifies it. Hayes hits another freefall legdrop but just gets a 2 count. Hayes lands a fist drop and goes for a pin but N kicks out. N hits a snap suplex and goes for a pin but the slow count ref only gives him 2. N hits the black doom and goes for the pin but Kevin Von Erich pulls the ref out. What the heck? Kevin gets in the ring and rocks N with some discuss punches and then locks in the CLAW. N is screaming in pain and trying to tap out but there is no ref. Kevin gets out of the ring and helps the ref back in apologizing for what he did. Hayes hits a Grits Smash and goes for a cover. With some pulling of the tights and his feet on the ropes, he gets the 1-2-3. Michael Hayes (with an assist from Kevin Von Erich) gets the win. Hayes starts going on about how he did it all alone and this ticks off Kevin. Kevin then discuss punches Hayes and puts the Claw on him. Hayes is screaming in the ring and taps out. The ref, clueless as to what is going on, rings the bell again and raises Kevin’s hand in victory. Hayes and Von Erich leave separately.
Next up is Batista taking on Kurt Angle. This match goes 12 minutes and in the end, the power of Batista is just too much for the former Olympic hero and Kurt fails to kick out after a devastating Batista Bomb.
CSWA World Champion Booker T is out next taking on Chris Jericho. In 18 minutes of serious ass kicking, Booker T gets the win and will go on to meet HWF World Champion Donnie B to see who will meet Samoa Joe at the end of the night.

Donnie B remains down at the ring as his opponent comes down. It is none other than The Kraken. Kraken locks in a sleeperhold early but DB makes it to the ropes. Donnie B hits a DDT and the Kraken goes down. Kraken hits a kick to the groin but DB hits the Lights Out Brainbuster. Kraken kicks out at 2. Donnie B hits Kraken with a chair but Kraken locks in the Kraken Crush but DB makes it to the ropes. Both men battle back and forth with no one really getting an advantage. The Kraken then tosses DB out of the ring and while the ref is admonishing him, Orton jumps in from the crowd and clips DB’s leg. He then hits it with a chair. He tosses DB back in the ring. The Kraken locks in a figure four leglock and in the midst of howling in pain, he taps out. The Kraken has just won the North American Championship.
We also then have the World tag team titles on the line with the Dudleys defending the belts against Chris Jericho and Edge. This bout went 28 minutes with the challengers really taking it to the champs. Both teams went for numerous pin attempts but their partners always made the save. In the final minutes of the match, Edge is double teamed for 3 minutes straight but somehow he made the tag. Edge then fell off the ring unable to stand.

Let the celebration begin!!!!
Next up is the Undertaker taking on Christopher Daniels. In 7 minutes, Undertaker gets the win when Chris Daniels is counted out of the ring.
AJ Styles is up next finally getting his shot at the World Title. In 15 minutes, AJ gets the win but it is by countout. Randy Orton ended up coming down and hitting an RKO on the champ. After the bell rang, Orton hit the ring and RKO’d Styles. He grabbed the title and held it over his head. He said that the next time you see him after a match, it will be him posing with the World title he’d won.
In the back, Christian attacked Randy and brawled throughout the corridors until they made it out to the ring. Regal came out and told them to cease immediately. Randy was going to have to wrestle now if he wanted his title shot. Randy attacked Christian before he could stand and the bell rang.
Christian started off with a One Man concerto and Randy hit a flying dropkick. Orton is then tossed out of the ring but gets back in at 4. Christian tosses him outside again but he sneaks back in behind Christian and hits an RKO. Randy makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Randy Orton has just regained the World Heavyweight title. Of course, Christian is the longest reigning champion and immediately demands his rematch. Before Orton could decline, Regal came out and made it official – this time in a steel cage.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.3
Welcome back fans. We are finally up to date on the HWF info so we will jump right into it. Our special host wrestlers for the night are Verne Gagne and Larry Hennig. Obviously both men are well beyond getting into a ring so they said that at the end of the night, they would have a special surprise for the Negronomicon.
Since Donnie B won his match against Cody, he called out the new X-Division champion Santino. The match didn’t go very long as Santino got counted out after only 5 minutes of action. Regal came out and said that Donnie B will indeed get a rematch soon.
Next, the North American champ Batista came out and basically did the same thing that Steiner did except for the retirement clause. In what was only 4 minutes long, Batista fell victim to the Bang Bang Piledriver and lost the championship. Foley is the NEW North American champion.
I would have to go on record to say that this is the night Donnie B pulled out all the stops. In fact, he said that he wanted to issue a challenge to AJ Styles for his shot at the IC title. AJ accepted. It only took 10 minutes for the phenomenal one to take down Donnie B and he did it with a spin kick. AJ then called out the Undertaker for his title match. Donnie B left as the deadman’s music played. It only took the Undertaker 4 minutes to get AJ trapped in a triangle choke and get him to tap out. The Undertaker retains the IC title.
HWF World Champion Christian came out. He then told the fans that he heard someone in the back talking smack about how he came out victorious in the Texas Holdem Tournament. That person who was talking smack was Donnie B. Christian called him out and said that if he wanted to talk more smack, he could do it right now in the ring. He was granting Donnie B his shot at the World title now. Donnie B came down and accepted his match.
Donnie B starts off the match by hitting the lights out brainbuster. He went for a pin but got a two count. Christian came back and hit a springboard plancha. Christian then hit a tornado DDT but before DB collapsed, he tossed Christian to the outside of the ring. Fit Finley ran down and knocked Christian out. He then hightailed it to the back and Christian ends up getting counted out. Donnie B wins the match but not the title. In the back, Regal informed Donnie B that he would get a rematch against the World Champion.
Chris Masters was in the back and was approached by the Negronomicon. N started talking trash about how Donnie B couldn’t seem to win a match. Masters said no disrespect but he knew that bad things were following the Negronomicon around and didn’t want to get into harms way. Donnie B sees them talking and challenges Masters to a match for the IC title. Masters tried to get out of it but no luck.
In 19 minutes, Donnie B defeats Chris Masters with a flying dropkick. Masters is out of the title contention and Donnie B is on another list. He is on fire.
The Kraken challenged CM Punk for his shot at the North American title. In 6 minutes, the Kraken gets a win over CM Punk by countout. Punk just decided he didn’t want to wrestle at all tonight so even though his title shot was on the line, he apparently didn’t care too much.
Abyss then came out and said that he was tired of the Undertaker ducking him. He wanted his title match right now. In 13 minutes, the Undertaker cleaned house and took down the monster Abyss. Not sure if he even broke a sweat.
After Christian was cleared by the doctors, he immediately called out Fit Finley. Finley came out but said that he would only wrestle right now if this would be a Belfast Brawl match. Christian agreed. It was a 22 minute slobberknocker. Both men really took it to each other and beat them from pillar to post. Christian was able to finally get the win after connecting with an falling inverted ddt.
Verne and Larry came out and called out the Negronomicon. N came out and didn’t look too pleased. He was told that since they were in Texas, they wanted to bring in a old school hometown boy. Music plays and out comes…….Stan The Lariat Hansen. Wow. He sure looks mean. N wasn’t paying attention but as soon as he saw Hansen, I think he about wet himself. Hansen attacks Negronomicon and rakes his face with his boot. N battles back and hits a doom bomb. An earthshattering elbow smash from the Lariat and N collapses like a ton of bricks. Hansen tries to go to the ropes but N catches him and hits a doom bomb. N tries for a thrust kick but it is reversed by Hansen who tries for another elbow smash but N nullifies it. Hansen locks in a Brazos Backbreaker but N makes it to the ropes. Hansen battles back and hits a rodeo neck smash and follows it up with an el paso piledriver. Hansen makes the cover and N doesn’t even try to move. Hansen gets the 1-2-3 and as soon as Hansen gets up, N jumps up and hits a Black Doom on the Lariat. He celebrates but then is interrupted by Verne and Larry. N shoves Gagne down and Larry hits N with an Axe Smash. N bails out of the ring swearing under his breath. Hennig helps Gagne to his feet and the show goes off the air.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.2
Hello fans. Welcome back. We are still waiting on the HWF results so those are expected to come in the next newsletter. We do have one piece of information though. Scott Steiner came out and said he was tired of sitting around and wanted to wrestle. William Regal came out and said that if Scott was looking for opponents, then tonight would be the night. Regal says that Steiner will get to wrestle until he defeats all the opponents in his top 10 or he loses the belt. He says that if he loses the belt, he’ll retire.
The first match is against Jay Lethal. It took about 10 minutes for Steiner to defeat Lethal with a Frankensteiner.
Steiner then did some push ups in the ring as he waited for his next opponent – CM Punk. Punk came out and lasted 12 minutes against the genetic freak but ended up getting pinned after being locked in a Steiner Recliner.
The third opponent was Santino Marella. Steiner had himself a good laugh as Santino sauntered his way down to the ring. This match went 15 minutes with the challenger staying right in line with the champ. Neither man went for a pin until the 15 minute mark when Santino nailed a snap swinging neckbreaker and with a rollup and a handful of tights, he gets the 1-2-3. Santino is the NEW X-Division Champion. William Regal came out and reminded Steiner that he said he would retire if he lost the belt. Regal said that “just in case you forgot, you are now retired. Have a good day.” Steiner left in a huff.
Donnie B then came down to challenge Cody Rhodes for his spot for the X-Division title. In 10 minutes, Cody is counted out giving Donnie B the win and the next title shot at the X-Division title.
Hopefully all the rest of the HWF results will be compiled by tomorrow so we can get that posted for you.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 2.1
Hello fans. This newsletter is being written from our temporary home in Peoria, AZ. We would like to hope that we are set up in our new headquarters by sometime in March. Hopefully everything will work out and you shouldn’t see (much of any) delays in the posting of this newsletter. With all of that now out of the way, let’s get on with the news.
The last newsletter recapped the company wide Texas Holdem tournament with HWF World Champion Christian coming out as the first ever winner. It had been decided between Donnie B and Jeffrey Meyers that this poker tournament would be held every couple of months. The next one will most likely take place right after Wrestlemania. There was such a surge in popularity after the first one is that instead of 6 add-ons, there will be 30 people invited. As of right now, the guest list looks like this: Sting, Abdullah the Butcher (home town favorite – Be sure to check out his restaurant Abdullah the Butchers House of Ribs and Chinese food – cheap plug), Baron Von Raschke, Mr. Bob Backlund, the Fabulous Moolah, Iron Mike Sharpe, Boris Zuchoff, Col. Debeers, Magnum TA, Dick Murdoch, Dick Slater, Ivan Putski, Jake Roberts, Jerry Lawler, Kendo Nagasaki, Kevin Von Erich, Larry Zybisco, Bret Hart, Mil Mascaras, Mongolian Stomper, Nick Bockwinkle, Nikita Koloff, Ivan Koloff, Paul Orndorff, Randy Savage, Rick Martel, Road Warrior Animal, Roddy Piper, Ronnie Garvin, SD Jones. If someone else is not able to make it, Tommy Rich and Michael Hayes will be standing by.
CSWA House Show #1
The titles were defended and the first to be discussed is the Cruiserweight title held by Mr. Ken Kennedy. In what is his fourth title defense, he took on Chavo Guerrero jr. In what went 19 whole minutes, Kennedy was successful in retaining his title by pinning Chavo after connecting with an inverted superplex.
The next match on the card is Ted Dibiasi jr. defending the TV title against the Super Warrior. Dibiasi is currently tied with Hogan as holding the title now for 2 successful defenses. The Super Warrior came out first to a surprising amount of booing. Dibiasi appeared to be the favorite for this match. Ted starts off by locking in the Million Dollar Dream but SW nullifies it. For that, Ted gives SW an eye gouge. SW delivers a power punch but Ted pulls out Maggie (Dad’s old loaded glove) and nails SW with it going for a pin but only gets a 1 count. SW powers back and hits a cobra clutch. Ted nails SW again with Maggie for another 1 count. Ted stands on SW’s throat while SW comes back and hits another cobra clutch. Ted connects with another eye gouge and SW tosses him out of the ring but he is back in in 5. SW hits a one armed chokeslam but Ted hits the Million Dollar Dream for a 2 count. Ted then hits SW with a chair, goes for a pin but still only gets a 2 count. A dropkick from Ted is met with a Wayner Stomp from SW. A reverse neckbreaker from SW is reversed and Ted hits SW again with the loaded glove but still only gets a 2 count. SW tries to hit a cobra clutch but it is reversed and Ted stands on the throat of SW. He goes for a pin but SW kicks out again. Ted stands on SW’s throat again , goes for the pin but this time only gets a 1 count. SW really appears to be out of it. Ted picks him up, hits him again with the loaded glove and makes the cover but this time gets the 1…2…3. Ted Dibiasi retains the TV title and is now the longest reigning TV champion this year.
Bobby Lashley was up next defending the US title against MVP. In another 19 minute match, Bobby is successful in retaining the US title by pinning MVP with a full nelson lift and slam.
MW3 issued a challenge to Shad for his shot at the TV title. In 26 minutes, Shad retains his spot after giving all of MW3’s possessions to the crowd and he just gave up.
Not to be counted out yet, MW3 remained in the ring and challenged Elijah Burke for his shot at the Cruiserweight title. This match went only 5 minutes as both men spent more time tossing each other out of the ring than they did fighting in the ring. At the 5 minute mark, both men were brawling on the outside and MW3 threw Burke into the steel steps. MW3 rolled back in just as the ref counted to 10 declaring MW3 the winner of the match. Of course, Burke didn’t like this so he immediately asked for a rematch. MW3 obliged but said this would need to be a no-countout match. In 14 minutes, Burke regains his title shot after pinning MW3 with a scissored armbar. Now it was MW3’s turn to feel ripped off so before he could make a challenge, William Regal came out. Regal asked the crowd if they wanted to see a 3rd match up between these two. The crowd answered “Yes”. Regal said fine but this would need to be a specialty match. He was making the match a Boot Camp match. The winner gains a title shot at the Cruiserweight title and the lose could no longer challenge this opponent for any future shots. Both men agreed.
This time it went a whole 17 minutes with MW3 controlling the entire match. Burke was the only one who went to the Boot Camp but MW3 was there controlling everything. Burke’s move was nullified with an MW2 kneelift. The end came when MW3 got a pin after executing a reverse neckbreaker. MW3 is now #9 for the Cruiserweight title.
CSWA House Show #2
The show began with the Super Warrior issuing a challenge to Golddust for his title shot. In 15 minutes, Super Warrior gets the win after hitting Golddust with a one armed choke slam. SW is back in the title picture,
After this match, Mr. Kennedy came out for his match. He mockingly congratulated the Super Warrior on his win and told him that it really didn’t matter as he would still beat him when it came to defending the Cruiserweight title. Mr. Kennedy’s opponent for tonight is the Kraken. Kennedy started off with a spike DDT on the Kraken. The Kraken got up and went for a piledriver but that was nullified. Kraken manages to lock in a sleeperhold but Kennedy makes it to the ropes. Kennedy hits an eye rake but Kraken locks in a figure four leglock. Kennedy makes it to the ropes again. Kennedy hits the Kraken with a knee lift. Kennedy hits a forward Russian legsweep and Kraken hits the Kraken Crush but no submission attempt. Kennedy hits an inverted superplex and Kraken nails him with a chair. The Kraken then tosses Kennedy out of the ring where he just walks away. The Kraken wins the match but not the title. William Regal comes out and says that Kraken will receive a future title shot.
TV Champ Ted Dibiasi was up next against Shad. In two minutes, Shad gets Dibiasi to tap out to become the NEW TV Champion. Of course, Dibiasi is the longest reigning champion and demands a rematch. This of course brings out Hulk “TNA” Hogan who says that he never got his rematch so he wants it now. This brings Regal out again and says that Hogan and Dibiasi will meet now “in that very ring” to determine who gets the immediate shot at Shad. The loser will gain a shot afterwards.
In 3 minutes, after controlling the match, Hogan is counted out giving the match and the immediate title shot to Ted Dibiasi. Dibiasi ended up handcuffing Hogan to the outside of the ring and that is how he was counted out.
Regal interrupts and says that this will be a no DQ match. In 8 minutes and a shot from a loaded glove, Ted Dibiasi gets the win and is once again the TV champion. Dibiasi says he will offer Shad a rematch right now. If Dibiasi wins though, Shad’s win is stricken from the record. Shad agrees. In 10 minutes, after a nasty eye gouge, Ted gets the pin. Shad’s title win is now stricken from the record and Ted is back to being the longest reigning TV champion.
Edge issues a challenge to Shawn Michaels for the World title shot. Edge hits a DDT but before he can go for the pin, Michaels tosses him to the outside where he lands badly. Shawn gets up but Edge is not able to get back in to the ring so Shawn retains his spot in 60 seconds by countout.
Chris Jericho then comes out and challenges Edge for his US title shot. Edge still looks to be in pain but he has to accept the match. Edge managed to hold his own and even take the lead during this match but it basically ended up the same way as the previous match. At the 14 minute mark, Edge nails a DDT in the ring but Jericho tosses Edge over the top rope and it appears he injures himself in the process. Edge is counted out and Jericho now gets the US title shot.
Chris then called out US Champion Bobby Lashley and wanted his title match. This one only went for 4 minutes. Just before the 4 minute mark, Bobby tosses Chris out of the ring and then Edge runs down and hits Chris with a Spear. He then leaves before the ref can see and ends up getting counted out. Bobby Lashley wins the match by countout.
Jericho then demanded that Edge come back out and fight him like a man instead of cowering in the back. Edge came out with William Regal. Edge told Regal that he really didn’t have to fight Jericho but if Chris wants this fight, then Jericho’s world title shot needs to be put on the line. Regal agrees and Jericho is not happy. Chris is told that if he wants Edge, “right here and right now”, then he must put his world title shot on the line. Jericho reluctlantly agrees but says it needs to be a no DQ match as he doesn’t want Edge running off or finding any excuses as to why he loses all the time. Regal agreed and told Edge to get to the ring for their match.
Jericho started off the match with 2 Walls of Jericho but Edge wouldn’t submit. Edge in fact would have been counted out twice in this match if the DQ rule had not been effect. Both men stayed fairly even but Chris finally got Edge in the middle of the ring and locked in the Walls again. With a bit of help from holding the ropes (and staying out of sight from the ref), Chris was able to make Edge tap out. Chris Jericho retains his title shot.
HWF news will be following shortly.

He mockingly congratulated the Super Warrior on his win and told him that it really didn’t matter as he would still beat him when it came to defending the Cruiserweight title. Mr. Kennedy’s opponent for tonight is the Kraken. Kennedy started off with a spike DDT on the Kraken. The Kraken got up and went for a piledriver but that was nullified. Kraken manages to lock in a sleeperhold but Kennedy makes it to the ropes. Kennedy hits an eye rake but Kraken locks in a figure four leglock. Kennedy makes it to the ropes again. Kennedy hits the Kraken with a knee lift. Kennedy hits a forward Russian legsweep and Kraken hits the Kraken Crush but no submission attempt. Kennedy hits an inverted superplex and Kraken nails him with a chair. The Kraken then tosses Kennedy out of the ring where he just walks away. The Kraken wins the match but not the title. William Regal comes out and says that Kraken will receive a future title shot.
TV Champ Ted Dibiasi was up next against Shad. In two minutes, Shad gets Dibiasi to tap out to become the NEW TV Champion. Of course, Dibiasi is the longest reigning champion and demands a rematch. This of course brings out Hulk “TNA” Hogan who says that he never got his rematch so he wants it now. This brings Regal out again and says that Hogan and Dibiasi will meet now “in that very ring” to determine who gets the immediate shot at Shad. The loser will gain a shot afterwards.
In 3 minutes, after controlling the match, Hogan is counted out giving the match and the immediate title shot to Ted Dibiasi. Dibiasi ended up handcuffing Hogan to the outside of the ring and that is how he was counted out.
Regal interrupts and says that this will be a no DQ match. In 8 minutes and a shot from a loaded glove, Ted Dibiasi gets the win and is once again the TV champion. Dibiasi says he will offer Shad a rematch right now. If Dibiasi wins though, Shad’s win is stricken from the record. Shad agrees. In 10 minutes, after a nasty eye gouge, Ted gets the pin. Shad’s title win is now stricken from the record and Ted is back to being the longest reigning TV champion.
Edge issues a challenge to Shawn Michaels for the World title shot. Edge hits a DDT but before he can go for the pin, Michaels tosses him to the outside where he lands badly. Shawn gets up but Edge is not able to get back in to the ring so Shawn retains his spot in 60 seconds by countout.
Chris Jericho then comes out and challenges Edge for his US title shot. Edge still looks to be in pain but he has to accept the match. Edge managed to hold his own and even take the lead during this match but it basically ended up the same way as the previous match. At the 14 minute mark, Edge nails a DDT in the ring but Jericho tosses Edge over the top rope and it appears he injures himself in the process. Edge is counted out and Jericho now gets the US title shot.
Chris then called out US Champion Bobby Lashley and wanted his title match. This one only went for 4 minutes. Just before the 4 minute mark, Bobby tosses Chris out of the ring and then Edge runs down and hits Chris with a Spear. He then leaves before the ref can see and ends up getting counted out. Bobby Lashley wins the match by countout.
Jericho then demanded that Edge come back out and fight him like a man instead of cowering in the back. Edge came out with William Regal. Edge told Regal that he really didn’t have to fight Jericho but if Chris wants this fight, then Jericho’s world title shot needs to be put on the line. Regal agrees and Jericho is not happy. Chris is told that if he wants Edge, “right here and right now”, then he must put his world title shot on the line. Jericho reluctlantly agrees but says it needs to be a no DQ match as he doesn’t want Edge running off or finding any excuses as to why he loses all the time. Regal agreed and told Edge to get to the ring for their match.
Jericho started off the match with 2 Walls of Jericho but Edge wouldn’t submit. Edge in fact would have been counted out twice in this match if the DQ rule had not been effect. Both men stayed fairly even but Chris finally got Edge in the middle of the ring and locked in the Walls again. With a bit of help from holding the ropes (and staying out of sight from the ref), Chris was able to make Edge tap out. Chris Jericho retains his title shot.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 1.14 – fallout from the PPV
Hello fans. Welcome back to our newsletter. As we suspected, there has been quite a bit of fallout from the PPV. AJ Styles did defeat X-Division Champion Scott Steiner but it was by countout. AJ was placed at the bottom of the list but he didn’t want to wait that long. AJ immediately challenged Bubba Dudley for his spot. Their match went 19 minutes. AJ clearly had the match under control until Scott Steiner came out and attacked AJ behind the ref’s back. AJ ended up getting counted out. Steiner then announced that since he was out there, whether Dudley was ready or not, he was giving him the X-Division title shot.
Scott Steiner defeats Bubba Dudley in 5 minutes after locking in and having Bubba submit to the Steiner Recliner. After the match, AJ came down and chased the champion to the back.
Carlito then came out demanding his rematch against Batista. The Animal came out to some serious heat from the crowd. In a quick 8 minutes, Batista gets the win after choking out Carlito and pinning him in the middle of the ring.
Charlie Haas came down and called out the Undertaker demanding his title shot. Charlie Haas was quick and able to stay away from any high impact moves from the Undertaker. About the 6 minute mark, the Big Show made his way down to ringside. This distracted the Undertaker and Charlie hit a single leg take down and Taker ended up flat on his face. Haas picked him up and then nailed a belly to belly suplex. With help from the Big Show on the outside holding down the Undertaker’s leg, Charlie Haas got the pin at the 7 minute mark to become the NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION. Holy Cow.
Now, the Undertaker was tied for longest reigning champion so he was entitled to a rematch. Undertaker said he was calling for it right now. In order to prove the last match was a fluke win, the Undertaker defeats Charlie Haas in 3 minutes with a triangle choke submission to regain the Intercontinental Title.
Randy Orton then called out the World Champion Christian demanding his title shot. Before Christian could come out, Donnie B did. He told Randy that he stole his spot and wanted to challenge him again. Randy said that he had nothing to prove and that he already defeated Donnie B twice at the PPV. Donnie B then proceeded to call Orton a coward. Orton didn’t take to well to that. This tirade brought out GM William Regal. Regal said that he was making a declaration that will apply to both the CSWA and HWF: Going forward, if any wrestler challenges for a spot in a top 10, the defending wrestler MUST accept the challenge. To not do so would then have the defending wrestler removed from the top 10 and they would be unable to challenge for any championship for 2 months. Orton was livid but he said he would accept Donnie B’s challenge.
This bout went 22 minutes and saw Donnie B keep up with the former World Champion. This was a close match the entire way. Donnie B was tossed out of the ring 3 times but refused to stay out. The third time he was tossed out, Donnie B got punted in the head by Orton but he managed to make it back in before the ref counted to 10. Donnie B clocked Randy in the head with a steel chair and went for a pin but Randy kicked out at 2. After a little more back and forth action, DB nailed the Lights Out Brainbuster but Randy kicked out again at 2. Randy eventually recovered and went to hit Donnie B with a chair. He missed and Donnie B then took the chair and nailed Randy with it. Donnie B made the cover and with a bit of tight pulling, got the 1-2-3. After the match, Regal came back out and said that as an addendum to his previous statement, if someone loses their spot, they must wait a week before issuing a challenge back to the other person. This of course infuriated Orton who has dropped down again in the standings.
Over in the CSWA, the Kraken issued a challenge to Mike Knox for his shot at the cruiserweight title. In a 17 minute battle, the Kraken defeats Mike Knox to gain a future shot at the Cruiserweight title.
The Super Warrior was also quick to challenge the Hurricane for his shot at the TV title. In 16 minutes, the Super Warrior defeats the Hurricane with a Super punch to take over his spot for the TV title.
TV champion Ted Dibiasi came out for his title match against MVP. In 20 minutes, Dibiasi retains the TV title after an eye gouge and roll up.
Shawn Michaels came out calling down the US champion Bobby Lashley for his match. In 11 minutes, Bobby Lashley gets the win over Shawn after a nasty eye rake.
World Champion Booker T came out and called for his next opponent. MW3 then came down and said he was the #1 contender. Booker looked at him and laughed. “Whatcha think you’re gonna do sucka? I AM THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION and no one that looks the way you do will take my title.” MW3 then asked Booker to make this a no-countout match if he was so confident that he would win this match. Booker agreed. The match went 15 minutes and it just seemed like Booker was toying around with MW3. Booker hit the bookend and then followed it up with a spinning smash to get the 1-2-3 and remain the World Champion.
Before Booker could leave, Edge came out and said that the last match was not much of a challenge for him so he was calling in his title shot now. I guess maybe the MW3 match took more out of the champion then was originally thought as Edge delivered a DDT in the middle of the ring at the 8 minute mark to become the NEW WORLD CHAMPION. Booker of course was the longest reigning champion so he wanted his rematch, right here, right now and inside a steel cage. Edge at first said no but Regal came out and said that Booker earned this so he was making the match.
The next match went 17 minutes long. It was almost 6 minutes before anyone went to the cage. At the 15 minute mark, Booker hit a bookend and followed it up with a scissors kick. He covered the new champ and got the 1-2-3. He then went to get out of the cage but Edge stopped him. Booker tried to catapult Edge into the cage but Edge reversed it and catapulted Booker right into the door of the cage. The door came open and Booker fell out. Booker T is once again the World Heavyweight Champion.
Devon Dudley, who is tied for the best record overall, isn’t anywhere in a top 10 so he challenged Fit Finley for his title shot. In just under the first minute of the match, Finley hit Devon with the shillelagh knocking him out of the ring. Devon looked to be out cold and did not make it back into the ring. Finley retains his spot.
With this win, Finley and Batista currently have the best records in the HWF. In the CSWA, Mr. Kennedy is still undefeated with 5 wins and Booker T and the Kraken are on the leader board with 14 and 3 and 8 and 2 records respectively.
Kurt Angle then challenged Batista for his shot at the IC title. If Angle wins, he will get credit for the win but the shot will go to AJ Styles. In 7 minutes, Batista gets fed up with Angle and walks out. Angle gets the win and AJ gets the title shot.
That is all for now. Please be aware that the headquarters for this game and newsletter will be relocating to Arizona. There may be a delay in future postings but we will do our best to keep the information flowing.
Scott Steiner defeats Bubba Dudley in 5 minutes after locking in and having Bubba submit to the Steiner Recliner. After the match, AJ came down and chased the champion to the back.
Carlito then came out demanding his rematch against Batista. The Animal came out to some serious heat from the crowd. In a quick 8 minutes, Batista gets the win after choking out Carlito and pinning him in the middle of the ring.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 1.13 – First Blood PPV
Hello fans. Welcome to our first PPV of the year First Blood live from Detroit, MI. As a recap, here are the matches that took place:
The PPV started off with a bang and the first match is Christian defending the HWF World Heavyweight title against the Undertaker. Both men started off strong until Christian got tossed out of the ring. Normally you would think it would kill the momentum but Christian came back and battled even harder. He nailed the Undertaker with a one man concerto followed up with the unprettier but Taker kicked out of both. Christian was then introduced to the outside of the ring two more times but that didn’t faze the champion. Christian battled back and nailed a diving European uppercut and went for a cover but the ref wasn’t paying attention and he didn’t see it. Undertaker tossed Christian to the outside again but he made it back just before the 10 count. Taker then went for the triangle choke but Christian reversed it right into an Unprettier and he made the cover. The ref counted 1….2…3. Christian wins the match and retains the HWF World Heavyweight Championship.
The next match on the card is the other World title shot with Booker T defending his title against Rey Mysterio Jr. We’ve never seen Mysterio more pumped up for a match as he was for this one. Booker started off with a scissors kick but then Mysterio took over on the offensive nailing dropkicks and tossing the champ from the ring. It was clear that Booker underestimated his opponent. Rey went for multiple pin attempts but the champ still kicked out. At the 17 minute mark, Rey tossed Booker out of the ring again and the champ finally decided he had enough and got counted out. Rey Mysterio wins the match but not the title. I am sure William Regal will see to it that Rey becomes a top contender again soon.
The third match on the card is Edge vs. Matt Hardy. Matt is currently ranked #7 for the World title and Edge is #5. This was the shortest match of the night as Edge tosses Matt over the top rope at the 2 ½ minute mark and Matt is counted out. Both men stay where they are.
Next on the card is MW3 challenging MVP for his spot for the TV title. If MW3 loses, MVP gains the US title shot also. This one went 15 minutes with MVP owning the challenger. MW3’s heart must not have been into this match as he just got wiped right off the mat. The merciful end came when MVP hit MW3 with a nasty running boot to the face. MVP gets the win and now takes over MW3’s spot for the US title.
Next up is Randy Orton challenging Donnie B for his spot for the world title. Donnie B held his own and even was dominating the challenger until the 11 minute mark where he got tossed from the ring. Orton followed him out and nailed an RKO. Donnie B was not able to make it back before the 10 count so Randy moves up.
Donnie B then got on a mic and told Orton that this was a lousy way to move up in the world so he was demanding a rematch – right here – right now - in Detroit, MI. He wants his spot back and asks Regal to come out and make a new match – this time it will be a no DQ/CO. Regal comes out and agrees with Donnie B and he tells Orton to get back in the ring. In a merciful 4 minutes, Randy wins the match with an RKO. Randy is now the #1 contender for the World title.
Following that match was Mr. Kennedy defending the Cruiserweight title against the Super Warrior. This too was a short match that ended in the Super Warrior getting counted out at the 4 minute mark. Kennedy was in the ring gloating and then the Super Warrior attacked him. He started to choke Kennedy out and demanded that Kennedy give him a rematch right now but a no-dq one. Kennedy squeaked out an agreement. The next match went a whole lot longer…23 minutes in fact. The Super Warrior nailed the Super Powerbomb early but was unable to get a pin. After that, Kennedy controlled the match. At one point, the Super Warrior managed to nullify a Green Bay Plunge. Both men got tossed out of the ring but neither stayed out longer than an 8 count. Super Warrior managed to hit multiple Super Powerslams but Kennedy just kicked out. At the 23 minute mark, Kennedy reversed a full nelson slam and nailed a spike DDT in the middle of the ring. He made the cover and the ref counted 1…..2……..3, Mr. Kennedy is still the CSWA Cruiserweight champion.
Next was Scott Steiner defending the X-Division title against AJ Styles. Scott may have controlled the match early on but slowed down considerably as time went on. AJ tried everything in his arsenal but just couldn’t pin the champ. At the 23 minute mark, Scott decided he’d had enough and walked out of the match. AJ ends up winning via countout. Regal was at the top of the ramp again and told Scott that he was done for tonight but expect to meet Styles again in a rematch.
Jeff Jarrett was up next challenging for the TV title held by Ted Dibiasi. This one went 18 minutes and was all Jarrett. Dibiasi tried to hold his own but had serious issues. A brief glimmer of hope came when Dibiasi nailed Jarrett with the loaded glove and then tossed Jarrett out of the ring. Jeff was unable to answer the 10 count so Ted retains the TV title by a countout win over Jeff Jarrett.
Carlito was up next defending the North American title against Batista. Batista beat the champion from pillar to post and only took 10 minutes and a vicious powerslam to defeat Carlito and become the NEW North American Champion. Carlito said he was robbed and would gain his revenge when he gets his rematch.
The battle of the champions was up next with Booker T taking on Christian to see who would go on to meet Samoa Joe at the end of the evening. In 12 minutes after cleaning the mat with his opponent, Booker T gets the win after executing a Book End on Christian. Booker T will go on to meet Samoa Joe later.
In what only took 5 minutes to complete, the Undertaker defeated the Big Show via count out to retain the Intercontinental title.
The US title is up for grabs next with Bobby Lashley taking on HHH. This match went 10 minutes and even though Lashley controlled the pace of the match, he ended up getting counted out after HHH hit him with a sledgehammer and he was unable to make it back in before the 10 count. HHH wins the match but not the title.
Up is one of the matches we’ve been waiting for – Kurt Angle kicking the crap out of the Negronomicon. Angle starts off with a blatant choke but N nullifies it so Kurt answers it with a boot to N’s face. A bearhug from Angle is answered by a Doom Bomb from N. A hurricanrana from N is reversed and Angle hits another boot to the face but Negronomicon reveres that and hits a snap suplex for a 1 count. A bitch slap from N is turned into a pin attempt but only gets a one count. N hits another snap suplex but gets a 2 count this time. Angle reverses a throw out of ring, goes to the ropes and executes a belly to belly suplex. He goes for the pin but the ref only gets to 1. Both me then drag each other out of the ring. Angle makes in back in before N does. N hits another bitch slap and calls for the Black Doom. Angle manages to reverse it and hits an Angle Slam. He makes the cover and the ref counts 1….2……3, Kurt Angle is the winner of the match.
Our second to last match is the Dudleys taking on the team of DX in a rematch for the World Tag Team title in a steel cage. This one got a bit exciting after HHH managed to tear off the door of the cage with a missed sledgehammer shot. This led to some outside of the cage action. Shawn and Devon battled through the crowd while Bubba and HHH tangled up in the cage. HHH was blinded in the cage and Devon brought Shawn back in. Bubba then takes over and after a sickening face smash at the turnbuckle, Bubba covered Shawn for the 3 count. Devon and Bubba then made it out of the cage and are declared the winners and still the World Tag Team Champions.
The final match of the night is Samoa Joe defending the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship against Booker T. Since the cage was already up (and fixed by this point) Regal declared that this match would take place in the cage. Booker was solid in this match and owned the champ. We seem to think that the multiple matches he wrestled in may have taken their toll. Booker was able to get multiple pin attempts but just couldn’t keep Joe’s shoulders down. At the 21 minute mark, TAZ came down and handed Joe a foreign object. Joe hit Booker with it and followed it up with a muscle buster and got the pin. He made his way for the door but then changed his mind and went over the top of the cage. By the time Booker realized what was going on, Joe dropped to the floor and gets the win and remains the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.
Thank you and stay tuned as I’m sure there will be fallout from this.
The PPV started off with a bang and the first match is Christian defending the HWF World Heavyweight title against the Undertaker. Both men started off strong until Christian got tossed out of the ring. Normally you would think it would kill the momentum but Christian came back and battled even harder. He nailed the Undertaker with a one man concerto followed up with the unprettier but Taker kicked out of both. Christian was then introduced to the outside of the ring two more times but that didn’t faze the champion. Christian battled back and nailed a diving European uppercut and went for a cover but the ref wasn’t paying attention and he didn’t see it. Undertaker tossed Christian to the outside again but he made it back just before the 10 count. Taker then went for the triangle choke but Christian reversed it right into an Unprettier and he made the cover. The ref counted 1….2…3. Christian wins the match and retains the HWF World Heavyweight Championship.
The next match on the card is the other World title shot with Booker T defending his title against Rey Mysterio Jr. We’ve never seen Mysterio more pumped up for a match as he was for this one. Booker started off with a scissors kick but then Mysterio took over on the offensive nailing dropkicks and tossing the champ from the ring. It was clear that Booker underestimated his opponent. Rey went for multiple pin attempts but the champ still kicked out. At the 17 minute mark, Rey tossed Booker out of the ring again and the champ finally decided he had enough and got counted out. Rey Mysterio wins the match but not the title. I am sure William Regal will see to it that Rey becomes a top contender again soon.
The third match on the card is Edge vs. Matt Hardy. Matt is currently ranked #7 for the World title and Edge is #5. This was the shortest match of the night as Edge tosses Matt over the top rope at the 2 ½ minute mark and Matt is counted out. Both men stay where they are.
Next on the card is MW3 challenging MVP for his spot for the TV title. If MW3 loses, MVP gains the US title shot also. This one went 15 minutes with MVP owning the challenger. MW3’s heart must not have been into this match as he just got wiped right off the mat. The merciful end came when MVP hit MW3 with a nasty running boot to the face. MVP gets the win and now takes over MW3’s spot for the US title.
Next up is Randy Orton challenging Donnie B for his spot for the world title. Donnie B held his own and even was dominating the challenger until the 11 minute mark where he got tossed from the ring. Orton followed him out and nailed an RKO. Donnie B was not able to make it back before the 10 count so Randy moves up.
Donnie B then got on a mic and told Orton that this was a lousy way to move up in the world so he was demanding a rematch – right here – right now - in Detroit, MI. He wants his spot back and asks Regal to come out and make a new match – this time it will be a no DQ/CO. Regal comes out and agrees with Donnie B and he tells Orton to get back in the ring. In a merciful 4 minutes, Randy wins the match with an RKO. Randy is now the #1 contender for the World title.
Following that match was Mr. Kennedy defending the Cruiserweight title against the Super Warrior. This too was a short match that ended in the Super Warrior getting counted out at the 4 minute mark. Kennedy was in the ring gloating and then the Super Warrior attacked him. He started to choke Kennedy out and demanded that Kennedy give him a rematch right now but a no-dq one. Kennedy squeaked out an agreement. The next match went a whole lot longer…23 minutes in fact. The Super Warrior nailed the Super Powerbomb early but was unable to get a pin. After that, Kennedy controlled the match. At one point, the Super Warrior managed to nullify a Green Bay Plunge. Both men got tossed out of the ring but neither stayed out longer than an 8 count. Super Warrior managed to hit multiple Super Powerslams but Kennedy just kicked out. At the 23 minute mark, Kennedy reversed a full nelson slam and nailed a spike DDT in the middle of the ring. He made the cover and the ref counted 1…..2……..3, Mr. Kennedy is still the CSWA Cruiserweight champion.
Next was Scott Steiner defending the X-Division title against AJ Styles. Scott may have controlled the match early on but slowed down considerably as time went on. AJ tried everything in his arsenal but just couldn’t pin the champ. At the 23 minute mark, Scott decided he’d had enough and walked out of the match. AJ ends up winning via countout. Regal was at the top of the ramp again and told Scott that he was done for tonight but expect to meet Styles again in a rematch.
Jeff Jarrett was up next challenging for the TV title held by Ted Dibiasi. This one went 18 minutes and was all Jarrett. Dibiasi tried to hold his own but had serious issues. A brief glimmer of hope came when Dibiasi nailed Jarrett with the loaded glove and then tossed Jarrett out of the ring. Jeff was unable to answer the 10 count so Ted retains the TV title by a countout win over Jeff Jarrett.
Carlito was up next defending the North American title against Batista. Batista beat the champion from pillar to post and only took 10 minutes and a vicious powerslam to defeat Carlito and become the NEW North American Champion. Carlito said he was robbed and would gain his revenge when he gets his rematch.

He made his way for the door but then changed his mind and went over the top of the cage. By the time Booker realized what was going on, Joe dropped to the floor and gets the win and remains the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.
