Just before the card began, HHH made his way out to the ring. HHH stated that on a night such as this, the evening would not be complete without "The Game" participating in the biggest event of the year. HHH said that all he needed was an opponent and we could kick this off. Suddenly, the music hit and out strolled the Negronomicon. N said that he agreed that he too should be part of this night's event and accepted HHH's challenge. This would be the match to start off our show.
HHH begins by hitting a Pedigree right off the bat. He made the cover but N kicked out. HHH reversed a ropes attempt by N and nailed a flying knee to the face of N. HHH went for some rapid punches but only met air as N got out of the way. HHH connected with another pedigree but got a two count. HHH followed it up with some rapid punches and N just stood there and took it in. HHH hits a knee to the gut and N is gasping for air. HHH then spit water in N's face. N gets mad and goes to the ropes but doesn't do anything except fly over the top. N landed hard and barely made it back in at 9. HHH hit another knee to the gut. Apparantly, HHH wants to punish N for all his evil-doings. He's not really trying for a pin. HHH connects with an eye gouge and N is blinded. N tries to battle back but gets another eye gouge for all his effort. N does battle back and hits a flying elbow and HHH spits more water in N's face. HHH then connects with a standing suplex.

N goes for the Black Doom only to have it countered into a Pedigree. HHH makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. HHH is the winner of the match. (20 min)
At the end of the match, Negronomicon stayed in the ring. “I want to thank all the fans and wrestlers who have been with me throughout my run here. Some of you hated me (and still do) and some actually cheered me on. For that, I thank you all. Now, as my final gift to you, I will show you my true face – the one under this mask that I’ve worn for years.” Negronomicon took off his mask to reveal….nothing. He was wearing makeup underneath. “Ya bunch of morons. I’m not giving you anything. Losers.” He then left the ring as the fans threw miscellaneous junk at him. There was a brief intermission as the volunteers came in and cleaned up the mess.
The second match is Mysterio challenging the Undertaker for the HWF World title. Rey begins with the 6-1-9 and manages to get a 2 count. Taker goes for a throat choke but Rey nullifies it. Taker manages to hit a choke slam. Taker nails a second choke slam and Rey hits a big head scissors. They repeat the same moves again – choke slam and head scissors. Taker nails another choke slam and Rey hits a Hurricanrana. Rey goes for some chops which Taker reverses into a throat lift. Taker then hits a huge clothesline. Taker slams Rey into the corner and Rey hits some reverse chops. Taker locks in the triangle choke but Rey somehow turns it into a Hurricanrana. Both men roll out of the ring and after a few seconds, come back in. They then have a stare down. Taker goes for the Triangle choke again but Rey turns it into a Hurricanrana. Again, both men roll out of the ring and then back in. Rey hits a spinning heel kick. Taker hits a clothesline but Rey hits a Hurricanrana and goes for the pin. He gets a 2 count before Taker powers out. Taker blocks Rey in the corner and chokes him with his boot. Taker calls for the Tombstone piledriver but Rey reverses it, nails a Hurricanrana, and the ref counts 1…2…3. Rey Mysterio is now the NEW HWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. HOLY COW! (15 min)
Our third match is for the World Tag team titles. Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe come out first and then are followed by the champions MW3 and the Super Warrior. MW3 and Angle start off. Angle is quick to throw MW3 to the outside and he’s back in at 5. Angle then takes MW3 down and hooks in the Angle lock. MW3 makes it to the ropes pretty quick. The champs do a quick double team on Angle with a reverse neckbreaker from MW3 and a super powerbomb from SW. Angle hits a clothesline on SW taking him out of the ring. MW3 hits another reverse neckbreaker and Angle hits a blatant choke. The champs double team Angle again. Angle tosses MW3 out first but he is quickly back in. He then tosses Angle outside to a waiting SW. SW then nails a Super Powerbomb on the concrete (he pulled the padding up). SW then went to brawl with Joe. The ref counts Angle down and out and awards the match via countout to the champions – MW3 and the Super Warrior. (5 min)
At the end of the match, Super Warrior and MW3 stayed in the ring. “We have enjoyed our time here and we, unlike that prick Negronomicon, we actually appreciate you, the fans. Whether you booed us or loved us, you have to admit, we entertained you” the Super Warrior stated. MW3 also chimed in: “Good times or Bad, we will always have the memories associated with the business. Now, as we close this chapter of our careers and get ready to move on to others, we want to leave you with a little gift.” At this time, MW3 and Super Warrior unmasked themselves revealing Mr. Meyers as MW3 and Wayne Tuttle as the Super Warrior. “Thank you all. We will miss you” both men said into the mic. They shook hands and then left the ring with their championship titles.
After the match, Joe confronted Angle about not tagging him in calling him a glory hound. Angle then pie-faced Joe and Joe charged him and they fought until Security broke it up. Joe yelled that Angle should watch his back.
Next up is The Great Khali challenging Mr. Kennedy for the Cruiserweight title. Kennedy threw Khali out of the ring but he got back in at 7. Kennedy followed it up with a side slam. Khali battled back andh hit the chokeslam and smash. Kennedy got Khali up to the top rope and hit an inverted superplex. Kennedy hit a spike DDT which didn’t seem to affect Khali who hit the chokeslam and smash. Kennedy hits a forward Russian legsweep and Khali hit a huge bodyslam.

He then locks in the Celtic Knot but Henry won’t submit. Finley then hits the Celtic Cross but Henry battles back by plunging Fit into a ringpost. Finley locks in a headlock. Finley then hits Henry with the Shillelagh and Henry goes down. The ref begins to count but he’s up at 5 (a very generous 5 at that). Finley hits the Celtic Cross again and Henry nails a military press slam. Finley goes to kick Henry in the face but Henry nullifies it. Fit hits Henry again with his toy and Henry is a little slower to get up (he is up by 6). Henry nails a body avalanche but Fit tosses him to the outside. He makes it back in at 9. Fit tosses Henry out again and then bludgeons him with the Shillelagh. Henry is not getting up. Fit rolls back in and as the ref hits 10, he awards the match to Finley via countout. Finley retains the IC title. (9 min).
We are half way through our PPV and the last two matches were pretty disappointing. During the battle royals, Khali and Henry both cleaned house. This was not apparent in their respective matches.
The next match up was supposed to be Edge and Christian but Undertaker asked for his match to be moved up. The change was granted.

Next up is the challenger Edge challenging his former partner and friend Christian for the US title. To make this interesting, they turned it into a boot camp match. With this stipulation, there is no DQ, CO or time limit. Both men lock up and it takes a moment for Edge to take advantage. He clotheslines Christian to the outside.

Edge tried to shake Christian’s hand but the former champ was not happy. He finally gave in and shook the hand of the new champ. (16 min)
Not to be shown up, Kurt Angle came to the ring first for his match with CSWA world champion Rey Mysterio. He pointed out that the last match needs to be outdone. As the champ made his way down, Kurt asked him if he wanted to spice it up a bit. It was proposed that they do a Texas Death match. Rey agreed. This gave them no time limit and no DQ for this match.

After the match, while celebrating, Samoa Joe attacks Angle. Joe hits 2 muscle busters followed up with the Rear Naked Choke. It took the refs almost 2 min to get Joe off of Angle. This prompted William Regal to come out and state that a new match was being added to this card – Angle vs Joe – in a cage – for the CSWA World title. That match be the second to last match of the night. Regal then went on to say that with the exception of the Undisputed title match, no other matches would be specialty matches. This was done to protect the wrestlers.
Next, John Cena took on the man who had refused to give him a TV title shot; until now – Ted Dibiasi. Dibiasi started off by standing on Cena’s throat.

Our second to last match is being prepared as the steel cage is being set up. Joe comes out first and is followed by a pissed off Kurt Angle.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 12.2
Hello fans. Well, we had the tournaments as planned and we now have the winners that will be going on to face which ever champion they so choose. The winners are:
AJ Styles
Edge
Kurt Angle
Mark Henry
Rey Mysterio
The Great Khali
John Cena
The Undertaker
For the tag team titles, that tournament was won by Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe.
At this point, the only match scheduled for Starcade will be MW3 and the Super Warrior defending the Tag Team titles against Angle and Joe.
In the back, John Cena said he still had some fight left in him and wanted to get back into the ring. Donnie B walked up to him and said that he would meet him in the squared circle if Cena would put up his title shot. Cena agreed.
The match was totally controlled by Cena and Donnie B was just barely hanging on. Cena went for a 5 knuckle shuffle and Donnie B moved. DB got up and delivered a Lights Out Brainbuster in the middle of the ring. He made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Donnie B is now gets a shot at a title of his choosing. Cena still keeps his shot.
At this point, all the other wrestlers came out. They all said they made their choices. In one unified voice, they all yelled out "World title shots". They stared at each other and started to argue who would get the shot first; who yelled first; etc. Donnie B stood back and surveyed the action. Jeff Meyers and William Regal both came out and said that if each one of the wrestlers wanted a world title shot, then they would get it. The caveat is that all title holders must defend their belts. Since there are only 2 world champions, only two wrestlers would get world title shots. Mysterio, Khali, Mark Henry, Kurt Angle, Edge and Styles were all undefeated. Cena and Undertaker have the next best records. Another battle royal was held to determine the order in which a challenger chooses the title they want to go after.
Rey Mysterio - challenges Undertaker for the HWF World title.
Kurt Angle - challenges Rey Mysterio for the CSWA World title.
Mark Henry - challenges Finley for the IC title.
Edge - challenges Christian for the US title.
AJ Styles - challenges Big Show for the North American title.
John Cena - challenges Ted Dibiasi for the TV title.
The Undertaker - challenges AJ Styles for the X-division title.
The Great Khali - challenges Mr. Kennedy for the Cruiserweight title.
This left only Donnie B as the only person who had not picked a title. Since all the belts were spoken for, Regal asked Donnie B what he was going to do. Donnie B stated that there was one belt not mentioned and that was the Undisputed Championship held by the Undertaker. "Now hold on my good man. You, as well as I, know that the Undisputed title can only be defended against a World Champion." Donnie B came back with "You will notice that when the details were spelled out, we stated that the winners of the tournaments would get to choose the belt they wanted to fight for. It's not my fault that no one else thought of that. Since no one did, I capitalized on it. I will be meeting the Undertaker for the Undisputed title at Starcade." Regal and Meyers discussed it and finally agreed that the wording was indeed vague enough so with that in place now, we have our full Starcade Card.
Stay tuned.
AJ Styles
Edge
Kurt Angle
Mark Henry
Rey Mysterio
The Great Khali
John Cena

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 9.2 – The Bash fallout
HHH was the first to come out and accuse Dibiasi for stealing his TV title. HHH said that he wanted a rematch right here and now. Dibiase came down and said that HHH was done. If he wants another title shot, he has to earn it. He demanded a shot but Ted was quick to point out that there are others deserving of title shots. If HHH wants another shot, he has to take on John Cena. In a quick 8 minutes, HHH gets the win after hitting Cena with a knee to the face.
A mini tournament was held to fill in the vacant spots for the US, TV and Cruiserweight shots. Those participating were John Cena (even though he just wrestled), Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, John Morrison, Elijah Burke, Rhyno, MVP and Matt Hardy.
Round one
Rhyno was first to win over Abyss after hitting the GORE.
John Morrison defeated Jeff Jarrett with a shooting star press.
Matt Hardy defeats Elijah Burke.
John Cena defeats MVP.
Round 2
John Morrison defeats Rhyno
John Cena defeats Matt Hardy
Round 3
John Cena defeats John Morrison
Cena becomes the #10 contender for the US title; John Morrson is in line for the TV title. Rhyno and Matt Hardy then duked it out to see who gets a shot at the cruiserweight title. Matt Hardy defeats Rhyno to get the final shot at the CW title.
Over in the HWF, Donnie B challenged Goldust for his title shot. In two minutes, Goldy is counted out and Donnie B is now next in line for a shot at the X-division title.
The Great Khali was next out challenging AJ Styles for his shot at the IC title. In 8 minutes, Khali gets the win via submission by the Relentless Backbreaker. Khali is now next in line.
Chris Jericho is out complaining about not getting any title shots. He in then followed out by Samoa Joe. Both men run their mouths saying they should be getting world title shots. IC Champ Fit Finley comes out and says that these two can fight it out and he would take on the winner putting his world title shot on the line. Samoa Joe ends up getting the win with a Rear Naked Choke submission. Finley comes down and nails Joe in the head with the Shillelagh. He then starts to tear into Joe and Joe just takes it. Finally, Joe tosses Finley to the outside of the ring and handcuffs him to the ringside barrier. Joe rolls back in as the ref counts to 10. Joe wins Finley’s spot in the world title shot.
Next out came the Tag Team Champs MW3 and the Super Warrior. They were accompanied by their special ref “Ravishing Randy” Mulkey. Mulkey told the fans that the next team was picked who would get the next title shot. The champs waited in anticipation (no, not really) and it was declared that Cryme Tyme was getting the next shot. The champs burst out laughing and didn’t stop until the challengers made their way to ringside. Cryme Tyme said that they would “steal” the belts and that there was nothing that could be done about it. Super Warrior then asked “How’s this for ‘Steel’?” and nailed both challengers with the steel chair. All three stood laughing while MW3 went to spit on them. Ravishing Randy kicked JTG for good measure before they all left.
The Dudleys then came out questioning why they weren’t getting the next title shot. William Regal came out and said he wondered the same thing but then there is another team equally deserving of a title shot: the team of Morrison and Hardy. Regal said that whomever won this next contest would get the title shot after Cryme Tyme.
This was by far the shortest match in a long time. It barely went 3 minutes. After getting nailed by the Starship Pain, Bubba tagged out to Devon. Devon takes an elbow shot before tagging back out to a confused Bubba. Bubba gets tossed out of the ring by John Morrison and then Hardy goes to the top rope and launches a nasty fist drop. Devon is taken out the other side of the ring. Bubba does not make it back in and the Dudley’s lose this one by countout. Hardy and Morrison are next in line.
CM Punk and Sting are out next complaining that they have never received their rematch. Regal comes back out and tells the Dudleys if they want a shot at redemption, they could take on this new team. The winner would get a shot at the tag team belts. Now this was the Dudleys we know and love. CM Punk was basically left to fight the Dudleys himself after MW3 and the Super Warrior came out and attacked Sting. Sting was dragged to the back and never surfaced. Punk did all he could but in the end was no match for the brute strength of the Dudleys.
Just before the show ended, HHH came out again. This time he was challenging the Negronomicon for his TV title shot as he wanted back at Dibiasi as soon as possible. Negronomicon stated that if HHH was so confident he was going to win, then N wanted HHH’s world title shot on the line. HHH agreed.
Negronomicon held his own against the Game. HHH would try to cut any corners he could to get the win but N just wouldn’t allow it. The end started around the 18 min mark when N got tossed out of the ring. He looked like he got hurt going over the top rope. HHH went out to help him back in. N nailed an Arm whip of Doom and HHH went sailing right into the ringpost. N rolled back into the ring to break the count and then retrieved HHH. N then nailed a snap suplex and at the 20 minute mark, he gets the pin, the win and the World title shot.
That is all for now. Stay tuned for more.

Over in the HWF, Donnie B challenged Goldust for his title shot. In two minutes, Goldy is counted out and Donnie B is now next in line for a shot at the X-division title.
The Great Khali was next out challenging AJ Styles for his shot at the IC title. In 8 minutes, Khali gets the win via submission by the Relentless Backbreaker. Khali is now next in line.
Chris Jericho is out complaining about not getting any title shots. He in then followed out by Samoa Joe. Both men run their mouths saying they should be getting world title shots. IC Champ Fit Finley comes out and says that these two can fight it out and he would take on the winner putting his world title shot on the line. Samoa Joe ends up getting the win with a Rear Naked Choke submission. Finley comes down and nails Joe in the head with the Shillelagh. He then starts to tear into Joe and Joe just takes it. Finally, Joe tosses Finley to the outside of the ring and handcuffs him to the ringside barrier. Joe rolls back in as the ref counts to 10. Joe wins Finley’s spot in the world title shot.
Next out came the Tag Team Champs MW3 and the Super Warrior. They were accompanied by their special ref “Ravishing Randy” Mulkey. Mulkey told the fans that the next team was picked who would get the next title shot. The champs waited in anticipation (no, not really) and it was declared that Cryme Tyme was getting the next shot. The champs burst out laughing and didn’t stop until the challengers made their way to ringside. Cryme Tyme said that they would “steal” the belts and that there was nothing that could be done about it. Super Warrior then asked “How’s this for ‘Steel’?” and nailed both challengers with the steel chair. All three stood laughing while MW3 went to spit on them. Ravishing Randy kicked JTG for good measure before they all left.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 9.1 – The Great American Bash Results
Hello fans. Well, we apologize for not getting this out in time. The Great American Bash was held in Houston under the hot Texas August sun. Without further ado, here are the results.
The first match on the card had Rey Mysterio defending his CSWA world title against Rhyno. The match went 14 minutes and Rhyno was just not ready for the onslaught that Mysterio brought to the match. The merciful end came after Rey nearly took off Rhyno’s head with a spinning heel kick. Rey retains the CSWA world title.
Next up had the Undertaker defending the HWF world title against the IC champion Kurt Angle. This match only went six minutes. Undertaker was slow moving around but it was the distraction from Fit Finley which caused a match which was hyped up pretty high to not last very long. Kurt got tossed out of the ring and Finley nailed Kurt with a foreign object causing him to get counted out. The Undertaker retains the HWF world title.
Finley got on the mic and demanded his match with Kurt. Fit picked up Angle’s body and tossed it into the ring. As soon as he climbed into the ring, the bell rang starting our third match. The lack of offense from Angle was not a good sign. Kurt hit some high profile moves but Finley was just more brutal. Finley hit a top rope axehandle that looked like it knocked Angle out. Fit then locked in the Celtic Knot and the ref raised Angle’s hand three times and three times it fell. Angle is counted as out and the match and the IC title are now awarded to Fit Finley. Finley disposed of Angle’s body to the outside of the ring, posed to the jeers from the fans and then left.
The Big Show was up next defending the North American title against MW3. This one went 14 minutes and was about as lopsided as one could get. Show just beat the snot out of MW3. The end finally came when, after failing to ward off a nasty eye rake, MW3 got his shoulders pinned to the mat. Big Show retains the NA title.
In looking back at the last few IC title defenses, we notice that the Undertaker was actually the last person to successfully defend a title more than once. All of the following lost the title on their first title defense: Samoa Joe, Abyss (he did get traded though and lost the US title right away), Edge, and Kurt Angle. Will Finley successfully retain after his first title defense? Only time will tell.
Christian was up next defending the US title against Matt Hardy. Another short match (only 5 ½ minutes) ends in a countout. Hardy got tossed out of the ring and was not able to get back in before the 10 count. Christian is still the US champion.
HHH came out next to defend the TV title against Ted Dibiasi. It seems the matches are getting shorter. Not a good thing. Dibiasi goes for a brainbuster but HHH nullifies it. Ted then gives HHH a nasty eye rake. HHH then tosses Dibiasi out of the ring. Ted makes it back in at 6. HHH then spits water in the face of Ted. Dibiasi explodes nailing HHH right in the head with his dad’s loaded glove. Ted makes the cover and with some tight pulling, gets the 1..2..3. Ted Dibiasi is once again the CSWA TV champion.
MVP came out stating that he was going to be in line for the next World title shot. He said that he could defeat anyone, anywhere. This brought out the Negronomicon. N stated that if MVP could beat him here and now, he’d give up his TV title defense. If he couldn’t beat him, then N would get his World title shot. MVP agreed to the match. N started off with a flying elbow. MVP was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. N then went for the bitch slap but MVP reversed it, tried for the Playmaker but N nullified that. MVP hits a snap over the head belly to belly. MVP hits a playmaker but N hits the Black Doom. He goes for a cover but MVP kicks out at one. MVP hits a running boot and N tosses him to the outside. MVP is back in at 6. MVP nails the Drive By but only gets a 1 count. MVP hits a snap scoop slam, goes for the pin but picks up N before a count could be made. N pulls MVP out of the ring but MVP takes control and tosses N back in early and follows. MVP went for many pin attempts but always pulled N up. Finally, N got tired of it and took MVP to the outside of the ring. He nailed a Doom Bomb onto the floor. MVP looked out cold. N rolled back in just before the 8 count and then the bell rang. N thought he won but the bell was actually signaling a time limit draw. So close.
AJ Styles came out next to defend the X-division title against Stevie Richards. AJ owned this one. Stevie got his butt handed to him but unlike the others, he opted to leave. After 12 minutes of getting his ass kicked, he left the ring and walked to the back without ever looking back. AJ retains the title on a count out win.
Next, MW3 and the Super Warrior came out to defend their tag team titles against Cody Rhodes and Jay Lethal. The match was pretty uneventful until around the 18 minute mark. MW3 went for the Superkick which Lethal reversed. Lethal then went for a axe handle smash with MW3 reversed and nailed Jay with the MW2 kneelift. MW3 makes the cover and gets the 1.2.3. MW3 and the Super warrior bail out of the ring while Cody Rhodes is in the ring arguing with the ref. Seems that the ref should have called some illegal activity and turned a blind eye. Cody then began ruffing up the ref and then MW3 and the SW attacked Rhodes. They saved the ref from any further harm. The ref thanked both of them and then went and kicked Rhodes in the face and while SW was holding Lethal, he kicked Jay where the sun don’t shine. The ref then made a mock cover with MW3 giving a fast count and then raising the ref’s hand. The three left together.
Out in the back, Clarkus Kentus, our roving reporter, met up with the trio. The ref introduced himself as a former wrestler turned ref. His name is RandyMulkey…”Ravishing Randy” to all his friends. SW told everyone that this was their ref from now on. He would be the only ref allowed to call any of their matches. MW3 looked a little worse for wear after the beating he took from the Big Show earlier. All MW3 said is that Big Show would pay for that earlier beatdown.
Donnie B challenges Santino for his spot for the X-division title. Donnie B took the fight to Santino. The former champion took 14 minutes to beat Santino for the shot at the X-division title.
The second to last match had Mr. Kennedy and his ongoing streak defending the Cruiserweight title against Jeff Jarrett. This was another short match that saw Kennedy just walk out of the ring leaving Jarrett behind. The ref counted to ten and awared the match to Jarrett but not the title. Jarrett complained but the ref just ignored him.
The final match of the night is Champion vs Champion for the Undisputed Heavyweight title. This will be the second time Mysterio and the Undertaker met for this prestigious title. Undertaker started off with attempting a Tombstone piledriver but Mysterio nullified it. Mysterio hits a spinning heel kick and Undertaker locks in the Triangle choke. Rey makes it to the ropes to break the hold. Rey hits a standing dropkick and immediately goes for a 6-1-9 but Undertaker turns it into the Last Ride. He goes for the pin but Rey puts his foot on the rope at one. Undertaker follows it up with a choke slam. A standing dropkick from Rey is met by a chokeslam from Taker. Taker gets Rey up in the Last Ride again and nails it. He goes for the pin but Rey kicks out at 2. Taker is getting ticked off so he starts to choke Rey. He goes for the pin but Rey kicks out. Taker tries to toss Rey out of the ring but Rey holds on and tries for a 6-1-9 but Taker nullifies it. Rey gets in Taker’s face and gets tossed out of the ring for his insolence. Rey makes it back in at 8. Taker tries to slam Rey in the corner but he goes up and hits a flying bodypress. Rey goes up and nails another flying bodypress taking Taker off his feet. Taker nails a choke slam but then Rey tosses him out of the ring. Taker barely makes it back in at 9. Taker catches Rey coming off the top rope and nails a chokeslam right in the middle of the ring. He makes the cover and the ref counts 1….2….3. Undertaker wins the match and is the NEW UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Taker poses with the belt and then Rey makes his way over. He puts out his hand and Undertaker shakes it. Both men leave to the cheering of the fans.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 8.1
Hello fans. We had a few Holdem tourneys take place. The winner of the first bracket was Bret “The Hitman” Hart. The second one was dominated by RVD. The third one was won by HHH. The fourth was totally owned by CSWA World Champion Rey Mysterio. One point of note in this tourney, the man with the best record, Mr. Kennedy, was actually taken out of the tourney by none other than the Negronomicon. After this happened, it was expected that N would go on to win the whole thing but a bluff in the second round ended those chances right away. In the fifth bracket, Jim Brunzell took out the Iron Shiek after B. Brian Blair came down to distract the Shiek. For all those who don’t know, Shiek HATES Blair. Not sure why. Greg Valentine ended up winning the fifth bracket.
The winners of the next 3 brackets will be announced soon. After that, the final 8 participants will meet for a final showdown. The winner will be crowned the 3rd Texas Holdem Champion.
Mr. Kennedy was not happy with being ousted from the holdem tourney by the Negronomicon so he wanted to teach him a lesson in the ring. Kennedy came down and called out his challenger. N came to the ring and questioned what was up. Kennedy told him that he knew Negronomicon was bluffing in the hand that crippled him. N said that if he really thought that, why didn’t he call? Kennedy was groing more infuriated by the minute. “Call? You want me to call? How about this?” Kennedy then attacked the Negronomicon and knocked him out with the Mic Check. “I want you in the ring. I’ll show you who the better wrestler is.” Kennedy then left and Negronomicon slowly got up and headed to the back with some assistance from the “shirts”
IN the back, Kennedy was yelling for someone to put together a match between him and Negronomicon. William Regal came over to ask what all the shouting was about. Kennedy droned on about his elimination from the holdem tourney. “I want that stupid SOB in the ring.” Kennedy demanded. Regal spoke up “Well my good man, I’ll grant you the match but the question now is will you put your title on the line?” Kennedy looked like someone just tossed cold water in his face. “You want me to put my title on the line against this nobody? Come on. I’ve beaten some of the best in the business. Just look at my record. It really is a wonder I’m not the world champ by now. So you want me to put my title on the line? I”ll tell you what. Give me a match against this loser and IF he can beat me, then I’ll give him a title shot. How about that?” Regal came back with “I tell you what, if you want this match and are not willing to put the title on the line now, regardless of the outcome, he gets the NEXT title shot?” Kennedy grumbled a “whatever” and walked away. This of course did not sit well with the next in line contender Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett heard what was going on and wanted to know why since he was the number one contender that he wasn’t getting the next title shot. Regal had had enough. “Listen you toerag, I’ve made my decision. Get out of my face before I just decide to strip you of that title shot.” Jarrett slunk away.
Out next was HHH coming to defend the TV title against the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry.This match went 10 minutes with the challenger giving the champ a good fight. That was until HHH decided to hit Henry 3x with the sledgehammer. Henry was basically out on his feet. Henry went to try to toss HHH out of the ring but Hunter reversed it and tossed Mark to the outside. He was in no shape to get back in so HHH ends up with the win via CO.
Next up was Mr. Kennedy vs the Negronomicon in a non title match. This one went 28 minutes. N held his own through halfway but then Kennedy took over. Mr. Kennedy had multiple attempts to try to pin N but he kept pulling him up. After the last time, the ref got into Kennedy’s face and said that the next time he did that, he would be disqualified. Kennedy snorted at him and immediately turned around into a snap suplex from N. N had Kennedy locked up so the ref went for the count and got the 1.2.3. Negronomicon gets a win over Mr Kennedy and will go on to receive a title shot.
It was decided that at the next show in Colorado Springs (this week), they would hold the No Way Out PPV which was originally scheduled for May. Here is how the card looks:
CSWA
Mr. Kennedy vs. the Negronomicon for the Cruiserweight title
HHH vs. Randy Orton for the TV title
Abyss vs. Christian for the US title
Rey Mysterio vs Mr Kennedy for the World title. Kennedy will have to wrestle multiple times.
HWF
AJ Styles vs. Cody Rhodes for the X-division title
Kurt Angle vs Big Show for the North American title
Edge vs. Kurt Angle for the IC title
Undertaker vs Kane for the World title
In tag team action, MW3 and the Super Warrior will defend the tag titles agains t Matt Hardy and John Morrison.
World Champion vs World Champion will take place to see who goes on to fight for the Undisputed Championship. If Rey retains the belt in his match with Mr. Kennedy, then this match against the HWF champion will be for the title.
The final match, of course, will have Rey defend the Undisputed title unless it happens in the previous match.
Stay tuned.
The winners of the next 3 brackets will be announced soon. After that, the final 8 participants will meet for a final showdown. The winner will be crowned the 3rd Texas Holdem Champion.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 7.2 – Let the fun continue…
Let the fun continue…
Jeff Meyers, Donnie B and William Regal came out and made an announcement concerning the future of their respective federations. Mr. Meyers started first. “I want to be the first to welcome all you fans back. We enjoyed our time off but now it is time to get back to work. First, I want to congratulate the new Tag Team Champions Super Warrior and MW3 for winning the gold on their first match back. Second, I want to welcome our new US Champion Abyss. Abyss will surely pick up where Edge left off and will bring a lot of excitement and energy. Probably the most important piece of information is regarding the ‘home’ for the CSWA. Donnie B and I have discussed this at length and brought our GM William Regal up to date with our plans. Effective August 1st, the CSWA headquarters will be permanently moved to ……Colorado Springs, Co. In what was a botched agreement from the start between the city of Colorado Springs and the US Olympic Committee, we have agreed to take over the building that was to be given to the USOC (USOC/City of COS is a real issue btw). We got a fabulous deal on rent so my executive staff and I will make that our home and will coordinate with Regal and Donnie B with any issues that need to be discussed.”
Donnie B took the mic next. “Thank You Jeff. I agree that the city of Colorado Springs is a great home for the CSWA. I wish you all the best of luck there. Maybe if the need for a staff increases, I’m sure there’s a great talent pool left behind when HP laid off its employees and moved out of the city.
On to other matters….The HWF inhereted Edge in the draft and with the departure of Abyss, Edge was given the IC title. We have worked with Edge many times in the past and we know he will bring challenges to all those he faces. We look forward to having Edge represent the IC title.
Our last PPV in May was Over the Edge. With the hiatus we took, we missed out on the Great American Bash and the Clash of the Champions PPV as well as the next Texas Holdem tournament. Well, we have news for all of you. August will be our SUPER month. We will have 3 PPV’s for this month and will include the Texas Holdem Tourney. To make things a little easier though, the poker tourney will actually take place in stages throughout the month. This will allow for a more reasonably paced tourney and give everyone a chance to have fun. We have just as much interest in this one as we did in the last couple so we are jumping right back in with all the particpants from the last tournament.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 7.1 - We're Back!
Hello fans. That's right...we are back from our hiatus. Everyone is refreshed and ready to go.
It has been confirmed that there indeed will be a new draft. It has been determined that even the champions themselves will not be exempt from the draft. Here is how it all played out:
HWF
CM Punk
Donnie B
Stevie Richards
Kane
Edge (US Champion)
Undertaker (World Champion)
Santino
Super Warrior
MW3
Cody Rhodes
Chris Jericho
RVD
AJ Styles (X-Division Champion)
John Cena
Sting
Great Khali
Jeff Hardy
Goldust
Fit Finley
Kurt Angle (North American Champ)
Samoa Joe
Big Show
CSWA
Randy Orton
Christian
HHH (TV champ)
Chavo Guerrero
Mark Henry
MVP
Shad
Jeff Jarrett
Chris Masters
Elijah Burke
Bubba Dudley
Devon Dudley
JTG
Abyss (Intercontinental Champion)
Jay Lethal
Ted Dibiasi Jr.
Mr. Kennedy (Cruiserweight Champion)
Rey Mysterio (World Heavyweight Champion)
Matt Hardy
Rhyno
Negronomicon
John Morrison
Since only the US Champion Edge and IC champion Abyss moved, they will swap titles. All other champions stayed in their respective homes.
It was also noted that during the hiatus, 3 men opted not to return: Batista, Carlito and Daniels. Daniels did leave on his own accord back in April but we weren’t sure if he was going to return. As of this writng, he has not come back.
Another interesting note is that one Legend was missing from the draft. This was none other than the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Flair had won his battle against the Super Warrior and the last we saw of Flair was him watching the ambulance take SW away. What he apparently missed was that SW was NOT in the ambulance. In fact, he was standing right behind the nature boy accompanied by his new “partner” MW3. Both men beat the holy hell out of the Nature Boy…so bad in fact that Flair has called for his retirement. From his hospital bed, he acknowledged that he was in fact out-smarted by his rival and that after the beating he took, he’d be in no shape to return to the ring in any full or part time capacity. So Flair did win his final match against SW but paid the price with his health and future.
In the first show back, the duo of SW and MW3 called out the tag team champs Punk and Sting. SW immediately super powerbombed Sting through a table. MW3 and SW then made quick work of Punk and after MW3 put Punk to sleep, SW got a table and then super powerbombed Punk through it. MW3 made the cover and got the 1-2-3 making them the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPS.
Afterwards, the new champs had a few words:
“Hello Fans….MW3 here, back from my whirlwind tour of the world. Have to say it’s good to be back in the USA…..even though we don’t have the finer things in life….Caviar…champagne….foie gras….and I hope you all enjoyed my video blogs of the worlds finest places….places not found here in the US. And now, me and my partner SW here…we’re bringing the finer things to the HWF and CSWA. Like…well…us.
That’s right….US. As you can see…we’re now the new TT Champs. Gotta say SW…we look good in Gold…am I right?
‘Yep’.
And we plan on staying this way.
Each and every week, SW and I plan on beating the toughest competition in the Federations. We just put Sting in the rest home, hopefully for good. Happy trails there Stinger…..and Punk….well we did what we do to punks. We punked his ass right out of the ring.
So, here is a list of the top competition the CSWA and HWF has at the elite TT level. We’ll be submitting a team from this list, at random, to show you people that not only are we serious about defending weekly, but that NO team can beat MW3 and the SW.
Tell’em SW…”
‘Yeah, what he said’
.
The next piece of information is that of the Negronomicon’s return back to a US ring. Negronomicon came out and had a few words…
“Well, I stand before you…humbled. I’ve toured some of the greatest places on earth….and had my ass handed to me in each and every one of those places. I now see the error of my ways. I was wrong. What I did was wrong and for that, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for making you, the fans, hate me. I’m sorry to all the wrestlers I’ve wronged. Most of all, I want to give my apologies to the one person who I’ve caused the most headache to in the last 7+ years in this business…Donnie B. I would like to ask Donnie B to come down here please.”
Donnie B made his way to the ring, got in and stared at the Negronomicon. N continued “Donnie B, we’ve been partners and we’ve been enemies. We’ve done stuff to each other that equalled some of the greatest rivalrys ever to take place in a squared circle. The animosity that exists between us is eating at me. I’ve seen the errors of my ways and now I ask you, Donnie B, the HWF creator and owner, to forgive me.” Donnie B picked up his own mic “So, let me get this straight. I sent you all over the world as payback for all the wrong-doing you’ve caused over the years. The pain you’ve caused to not only myself but to the performers of the CSWA and HWF could never been forgotten…. But…..if you’ve really changed, if you REALLY have changed, maybe , just maybe if the fans can find it in themselves to forgive you, then, I guess, so can I.” Both men shook hands although Donnie B will continue to be wary. Both men then left the ring.
One stipulation to note is that in regards to Super Warrior and his quest for any singles titles, he is ineligible to go after any title that Mr. Kennedy currently holds or gets in line for. SW is eligible for placement in the top 10 but if Kennedy wins the title and SW would have to fight him for the title, SW will immediately lose his spot.
Much more to follow.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 6.1
Hello fans. Well, this is just a quick note to let you know that due to the overwhelming response from our wrestlers, we've decided to give them another month off. So, expect the newsletter to resume come July 1st.
A few things to note though...As was mentioned in the last update, Negronomicon is the only wrestler that was forced to perform as he still had to pay off his debt. Well, that turned out better than we could have possibly hoped. In his 30 day tour of Europe and Asia, Negronomicon had managed to accumulate enough in payments to almost pay off his entire debt that he owed me. A few wrestlers who happened to be over there during this time all agreed to fight that dirty rotten bastard. Over in Ireland, Finley was visiting family so up and down the countryside, Finley beat the crap out of N. In fact, in a few placed, N was put up against Little Bastard and was taken out (more than once) by the tadpole splash. Over in Germany, Booker T was wrestling and he took on extra matches to beat N up himself. The fun really came when, over in Japan, N had to take on his most evil nemesis since Donnie B....Scott Steiner. Steiner was not happy (when was he ever really) and he had no issue beating the snot out of N up and down the coastline. William Regal handed N beatings all around England. As of this writing, I believe N still owes Donnie B about 100K (he was down over 4M when the month began). Avenues all over the place were sold out. They even had to turn people away. After N made his way back to the states, Japan, Australia, and Mexico all clammored for a piece of the action. Donnie B was only too happy to oblige and sent N packing after a 2 day stay in the States.
Donnie B and Jeff Meyers also came to the conclusion (without Regal since he is over in England) that the federations would be shaken up some with a new draft. The only two who will not participate will be RVD and Randy Orton due to their trade before the hiatus began.
The last bit of information came to us from MW3. He wanted to let everyone know that since he retired Hogan, he was living up the good life. His first video came to us with him hanging out at the Playboy Mansion. Hugh Heffner (an avid Hogan-hater) invited MW3 to come hang out with the babes and rockstars. The next one showed MW3 showing his fans his new diamond studded mask. Next, he was hanging on the Dos Equis guy. The weird thing was that throughout all of these vignettes, MW3 was actually dissing his fans. Comments such as "I'm eating Beluga Caviar today...not that any of my fans knows what THAT is...." sprung up. The final one that actually resulted in getting boos from the fans was MW3 test driving a lamborghini. He basically insulted the fans with another comment "....like any of my fans have even see on that wasn't this size" (hold out hot wheels car and laughs). I've got a feeling he won't be the nice guy he was once he returns.
Lastly, this just in. Super Warrior was in an auto accident while on vacation. He then began touring talking about driving safety. He would speak on the dangers of not understanding the rules of the road and then would insult them stating "if only they could actually read." After his 5th appearance, he was asked not to come back since people only showed up to throw stuff at him. He even went so far as to push down a kid who got in his way when he was trying to leave...the jerk.
We look forward to getting back into the action when the newsletter resumes next month. Stay tuned.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 5.2 – PPV Fallout
Hello fans. This is going to be a short newsletter as there isn’t much to cover as Donnie B and Jeff Meyers decided to give the rosters the entire month of May off. Donnie B was a little upset at losing the World title (but then again, he did hold the belt for 2 months) but ended up ridding the HWF of Randy Orton. It was announced that as the CSWA would get Orton, HWF would need someone in return. Regal drew a name at random and ended up choosing……Rob Van Dam. RVD was supposed to get world title shots but now he gets to start over in the HWF.
With the loss of the Kraken, Jeff Hardy loses his tag team title shot. All of the other teams move up in line.
Only one person doesn’t get time off…That’s right…The Negronomicon. N was informed by William Regal that he will continue to work and he will be doing tours over in Mexico, Canada, Japan and most of Europe. Word has it they are paying big bucks in Japan to see N get his ass handed to him. I think we may get updates but we won’t post anything until close to the end of the month.
Enjoy your time off as I’m sure we all will.
Thanks for tuning in.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 5.1 – Over the Edge PPV (from April 30)
Hello fans. From Chicago, IL, we are LIVE with our April PPV – Over The Edge.
William Regal came out first with the news that both the Hogan and Flair matches will be inside of a steel cage. This will prevent either man from trying to escape. A stipulation was added that if either MW3 or the Super Warrior lost, they would be out of a job. Regal went on to say that the Kraken put his career on the line against Rey Mysterio so if the Kraken loses, he will be out of a job. He also reminded us that John Cena would be wrestling on the card twice – once defending the TV title against HHH and then going after the US title held by Edge. Also wrestling twice would be AJ Styles. Styles is
Regal continued with more news. It was time for some house cleaning. He was tired of Jericho running his mouth so he put him in a match against Shelton Benjamin with the loser being let go. Also, Carlito issued a challenge to Mike Knox for his spot and their job would be on the line too.
Here is a recap of tonight’s matches:
Hogan vs. MW3 with Hogan’s career on the line.
Super Warrior vs. Ric Flair with Flair’s career on the line.
AJ Styles vs. Fit Finley for the X-Division title
Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles for the NA title
Samoa Joe vs. Abyss for the IC title
Donnie B vs. The Undertaker for the HWF World title
Mr. Kennedy vs. Jeff Hardy for the Cruiserweight title
John Cena vs. HHH for the TV title.
Edge vs. John Cena for the US title (Cena agreed to wrestle twice)
Rey Mysterio vs. the Kraken for the World title
Samoa Joe will put the Undisputed Championship on the line against the winner of the World Champions.
RVD will take on Kane
Chris Jericho will take on Shelton Benjamin. Regal stated that whoever loses is out of a job.
Carlito vs. Mike Knox. The loser is out of a job.
The Big Show is up against Chris Daniels. If Daniels loses, he is out of a job.
Randy Orton vs Batista (if Orton loses, he will be traded to the CSWA.)
Matt Hardy & John Morrison vs CM Punk and Sting for the World tag team titles.
And now, on with the show!
Our first match of the night is AJ Styles defending the X-Division title against Fit Finley. This was quick as it only took the champ 3 minutes to get the win after Finley got counted out. AJ hit a flying bodypress from the top rope and took out Finley. Finley never recovered and was unable to make it back in.
AJ was pumped and called out Kurt Angle for his match. This one went slightly longer – 4 ½ minutes. The end came after a missed spot by AJ was turned into an Ankle lock and AJ had no choice but to tap out.
The next match is RVD vs. Kane. It was decided at the last minute that it would be for Kane’s spot in the world title hunt. This one went 14 minutes with the high flying RVD taking it to the big red monster. RVD hit a Van Daminator and Kane fell out of the ring. RVD then went to the top rope and hit a frog splash on Kane. RVD rolled back in just as the ref counted to 10. RVD moves up in the rankings and Kane moves down.
The first world title match was next with Rey Mysterio taking on the Kraken. Mysterio stared off strong with a hurricanrana. He then hit a dropkick but the Kraken locked in the figure four. Rey made it to the ropes. Mysterio hit some reverse chops and Kraken hit Rey with a chair. Rey battled back and hit the 6-1-9 but only got a 2 count. The Kraken tosses Rey out of the ring but he is back in at 3. Rey hit some reverse chops and the Kraken hit him with a chair again (while the ref was distracted). Rey hits more reverse chops, goes for a pin but Kraken kicks out at 2. Rey hits a hurricanrana and Kraken kicks him in the groin. Rey hits another hurricanrana but Kraken locks him in a sleeper hold. More chops from the champ and another groin shot by the challenger. The Kraken follows it up with a piledriver. Rey hits a flying bodypress but Kraken, guess what, kicks him in the groin again. And yet, another groin shot from the challenger. Now, the ref warns him. If he does it again, he will be disqualified. Rey hits a dropkick but the Kraken hits the Kraken Crush but Rey makes it to the ropes to avoid tapping out. The Kraken goes for another groin shot but Rey hits a hurricanrana instead, goes for the cover but only gets a 2 count. The Kraken hits another groin shot and the ref goes to call for the DQ but Rey asks him not to. Rey goes to the top rope, hits a flying bodypress and makes the cover for the 1….2….3. Rey retains the title and the Kraken is now out of work.
Next up was John Cena defending the TV title against HHH. HHH owned Cena for the entire match. The end came at the 14 minute mark when a fan jumped the ringside barrier wearing a DX shirt. Cena couldn’t understand why a kid was wearing a DX shirt (instead of one of his) and HHH rolled him up for the 1-2-3 and becomes the NEW TV CHAMPION.
Abyss came out next for his match against Samoa Joe for the IC title. Joe got on the mic and said that after he dispatched Abyss, he was issuing a challenge to the world champion and vowed to take that title too. Abyss didn’t care for being dismissed this way so he handed Joe the beating of a lifetime. I’ve never seen Abyss this pumped up before. The match went 18 minutes with both men hitting their signature moves and both kicked out of them numerous times. Finally, Abyss hit the champ with a boot that nearly took off Joe’s head. Joe appeared to be out. Abyss made the cover and the ref counted 1…2….3. Abyss wins the match and is the NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.
Next was the next World title match with Donnie B taking on the Undertaker. You may remember in their last non-title match, Undertaker got Donnie B to tap to the Triangle choke in 3 minutes. He started off with the Triangle choke but Donnie B made it to the ropes. Undertaker then followed it up with a chokeslam. Undertaker then tossed the champ out of the ring and it appeared Donnie B hit his head on the steps. He wasn’t moving so Undertaker went out and tossed him back in at the 9 count. Donnie B connects somehow with an eye rake and Taker hits the tombstone piledriver. He makes the cover but DB gets his foot on the ropes after 1. Undertaker goes for a clothesline but DB gets out of the way. Donnie B goes to the ropes but Undertaker catches him, hits a tombstone piledriver and makes the cover but again, DB gets his foot on the ropes to break the count. DB hits Undertaker with a chair. Donnie B hits a superplex but before he can do anything, Taker locks in the triangle choke. DB makes it to the ropes. Donnie B hits the Lights out brainbuster but Taker rolls out of the ring to avoid the pin attempt. DB goes to the ropes and whatever he was going to do, nothing happened. DB hits a DDT and Taker hits a chokeslam. He then pulls off the strap and drags his thumb across his neck calling for the end. Donnie B looked totally freaked out. DB hits Taker with a chair and then gets tossed out of the ring. He tried to leave but Taker was there and got him back into the ring. Taker then choked DB until the ref made him break the hold. Undertaker called for a chokeslam and hit it. Just then, Randy Orton came out. DB tossed Taker to the outside and started to yell at Orton. Undertaker was back in by 4. DB hits a flying dropkick and Taker tried to choke him out again. DB hit a dropkick. He was going to go for a pin until Undertaker sat up. DB hit a Guerrero stomp and Taker hit a choke slam. Taker went back to choking the champ out. DB hits an eye rake to break the choke. DB hits a Guerrero stomp and out of nowhere, Taker grabs Donnie B and in the middle of the ring, locks in the Triangle choke. DB has nowhere to go so he taps out. Undertaker gets the win and is the NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Donnie B immediately called for his rematch. Donnie B and the Undertaker went another 25 minutes and in a fluke move, DB hits a neckbreaker and gets the pin. DB regains the title. Now, the two will square off in a steel cage.
Undertaker starts off with a clothesline. He followed it up with a tombstone piledriver but the champ kicked out at 1. Undertaker then locks in the triangle choke. Donnie B submits. Undertaker starts to go over the top and as Donnie B tries to stop him, Undertaker chokeslams the champ from the top of the cage to the mat below. Undertaker goes over the top and to the floor below and becomes the official HWF World Heavyweight Champion.
Next came the “loser must retire” matches.
First was Chris Jericho against Shelton Benjamin. In one of the shortest matches of the night, Jericho gets the win after hitting a Lionsault at the 5 minute mark. Shelton left the ring saddened but got an ovation from the fans.
Next was Carlito taking on Mike Knox. In a 21 minute ass-whipping, Carlito gets the win. Knox is now out of work. Not sure how this happened but Carlito is now in line for belts on both brands. We will have to wait and see how this works out.
Following that came the Big Show vs. Chris Daniels. In what really was a fluke win, Daniels gets the win in 3 minutes with a double jump moonsault. He then got on the mic and told Regal that since he felt he wasn’t treated fairly, he was quitting. He said goodbye to the fans and left. Since he wasn’t forced out, he may have an option to return in the future.
Now, we had the match to determine the path of Orton’s future. He had his match against Batista. If Orton were to lose, he would be traded to the CSWA. If he won, he would become the #1 contender for any title (and as many titles as) he wanted. Before the match began, Jeff Meyers and William Regal came out to watch. About 5 minutes into the match, for no reason whatsoever, Batista got up and walked out of the match. He kept walking by Mr. Meyers and Regal and (to the best of our knowledge,) walked right out of the building. Orton cheered that he was now the number one contender but Regal stopped him there. “First of all, you didn’t win. Batista lost. Not sure what’s happening there but that will be addressed at a later time. For now, you need to get a pin or submission if you are to stay in the HWF. It so happens that one person in the back has agreed to wrestle again tonight to take you on. It is none other than Donnie B. Donnie B came out for his 4th match of the night but had a look of determination on his face. Orton started off with some rapid punches and Donnie B tossed him out of the ring. Regal got on the mic and said this would be a no-countout match. Orton is back in at 9. Orton hit the Orton stomp twice and Donnie B took him down with a lights out brainbuster but he was not able to make a pin. Orton battled back with some rapid punches and Donnie B gave him an eye rake. Orton choked DB in the corner and as soon as he let up, DB hit Orton with a DDT. Orton hit a suplex and Donnie B came back with a Lights out Brainbuster. He made the cover and with a bit of help from the ropes, got the 1.2.3. Randy Orton is now the property of the CSWA. He is Meyers problem now.
Mr. Kennedy was up next defending the Cruiserweight title against Jeff Hardy. In 5 ½ minutes, Jeff ended up getting counted out allowing Kennedy to retain the Cruiserweight title.
Edge was up next defending the US title against Cena. Cena is already 0-1 tonight. This was the shortest match of the night. Just under 60 seconds. Cena tossed Edge out of the ring but he was immediately back in, hit a DDT and got the cover, the win and is still the US Champion.
Our only tag bout of the night is Matt Hardy and John Morrison vs. Sting and CM Punk for the World tag team titles. The match went 24 minutes with both teams staying even for the entire match. The end came when Morrison was brawling with Punk and Hardy tossed Sting out of the ring. Sting appeared to have landed badly and ended up getting counted out. The champs lose the match but not the tag team titles.
Prior to his match later on, the Super Warrior cut a promo and had this to say:
Hear me Warriors! The time has come. The so-called Nature Boy is finally about to be PERMANENTLY retired from professional wrestling. You have had a good run Flair but it is time for Nature to take its course. Out with the old and in with the new as they say. It is survival of the fittest and as anyone can see, you are far from being fit. So I am going to save you further embarassment. But fear not, even though you claim to be the "Dirtiest Player In The Game", I am nothing of the sort. I will end your illustrious career honorably so that you can take your place among the legends of wrestling as will I one day. In the meantime, I will be more than happy to assume your role as the greatest wrestler of all time
Ric Flair did not take the time to respond. He made some noise as he walked by and that was all.
The final four matches of the night started off with CSWA World Champion Rey Mysterio taking on the NEW HWF World Champion the Undertaker. The time limit for this match was extended to 45 minutes and was a no dq/countout match. The Undertaker looked exhausted while Mysterio looked fresh. Undertaker started off strong but as time went on, he just ran out of steam. Mysterio kept up the pace and at the 14 minute mark, he hits an awesome dropkick off the ropes and pinned the Undertaker for the 1.2.3. Rey will go on to meet Samoa Joe for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship.
Our 3rd to last match had Hulk Hogan taking on MW3 inside of a steel cage. This was another short match. I don’t think Hogan really even cared. The match began with MW3 reversing a Hogan clothesline and hitting the MW3 driver. Hogan came back with a bearhug. Hogan then raked the back of MW3 but he turned around and did the Hogan point at him. He blocked two of Hogan’s punches and delivered the MW3 superkick. He went to the top of the cage and hit the B-52 kneedrop from the top of the cage. Hogan was out. MW3 then climbed over the top and dropped to the floor (all in 3 minutes) to end the career of Hulk Hogan.
Next was Super Warrior vs Ric Flair inside the cage. Flair, before getting in said that would not be him (referring to Hogan). Flair immediately hit SW with a foreign object busting him open. He went for a pin but SW kicked out. Flair then choked him out. SW locks in a cobra clutch but gets a foreign object to the face again. Flair goes for a pin but SW kicks out. Flair then grinds the face of SW into the cage blinding him. Flair locks in the figure four but when SW grabbed for the ropes to break the hold, Flair refused. He had him in the figure 4 for two solid minutes. SW had the ropes and Flair wouldn’t break the hold. SW somehow battled back and hit the Super Powerslam but couldn’t keep the 16x champion down. SW went for a super powerbomb which was reversed by Flair. He then attempted a super powerslam but that was nullified. SW then spotted Flair’s brass knuckles and nailed him with them. Flair is now busted open. SW went for a pin but Ric kicked out at 2. All of a sudden, a masked wrestler came down and threw a chain in to Flair. He nailed SW with it. As the masked guy left, he posed for the crowd and the posing looked very familiar to one originally done by “A Real American”. SW, full of intestinal fortitude, kicked out. Flair was livid. He did a unique figure four around the ropes and ring post and I swear it looked like he almost broke SW’s leg. Regal then came out and stated that SW’s career was not on the line. If Flair were to somehow win this match, SW would get a second chance. Flair relished in his beatdown of SW. He then went to the top of the cage and hit the B-52 kneedrop to an almost unconscious SW. Flair made the cover and got the 1.2.3. He then went for the door and made it through. Ric Flair gets the win and SW will get another shot at him. Flair went back in and locked in the figure four again. By this point, SW had passed out from the pain (he never gave up). SW had to be stretchered out.
The final match of the night is Samoa Joe defending the Undisputed Championship against Rey Mysterio. Joe began his smack talk and somehow convinced Mysterio to also put the CSWA World title on the line. This match also took place in the steel cage. In 12 minutes, Joe connected with a big boot but Rey hit a Hurricanrana and the Undisputed Champ went down. Rey then hit a swanton bomb from the top of the cage onto Joe. He covered him, got the 1.2.3 and then went for the door. Somehow Joe stopped him and got a kick to the face which was followed up by a 6-1-9. The cage door was opened again and Rey dove out the door to the floor below making him the NEW UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
That’s all. Good night everyone.
William Regal came out first with the news that both the Hogan and Flair matches will be inside of a steel cage. This will prevent either man from trying to escape. A stipulation was added that if either MW3 or the Super Warrior lost, they would be out of a job. Regal went on to say that the Kraken put his career on the line against Rey Mysterio so if the Kraken loses, he will be out of a job. He also reminded us that John Cena would be wrestling on the card twice – once defending the TV title against HHH and then going after the US title held by Edge. Also wrestling twice would be AJ Styles. Styles is
Regal continued with more news. It was time for some house cleaning. He was tired of Jericho running his mouth so he put him in a match against Shelton Benjamin with the loser being let go. Also, Carlito issued a challenge to Mike Knox for his spot and their job would be on the line too.
Here is a recap of tonight’s matches:
Hogan vs. MW3 with Hogan’s career on the line.
Super Warrior vs. Ric Flair with Flair’s career on the line.
AJ Styles vs. Fit Finley for the X-Division title
Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles for the NA title

Edge vs. John Cena for the US title (Cena agreed to wrestle twice)
Rey Mysterio vs. the Kraken for the World title
Samoa Joe will put the Undisputed Championship on the line against the winner of the World Champions.
RVD will take on Kane
Chris Jericho will take on Shelton Benjamin. Regal stated that whoever loses is out of a job.
Carlito vs. Mike Knox. The loser is out of a job.
The Big Show is up against Chris Daniels. If Daniels loses, he is out of a job.
Randy Orton vs Batista (if Orton loses, he will be traded to the CSWA.)
Matt Hardy & John Morrison vs CM Punk and Sting for the World tag team titles.
And now, on with the show!
Our first match of the night is AJ Styles defending the X-Division title against Fit Finley. This was quick as it only took the champ 3 minutes to get the win after Finley got counted out. AJ hit a flying bodypress from the top rope and took out Finley. Finley never recovered and was unable to make it back in.
AJ was pumped and called out Kurt Angle for his match. This one went slightly longer – 4 ½ minutes. The end came after a missed spot by AJ was turned into an Ankle lock and AJ had no choice but to tap out.
The next match is RVD vs. Kane. It was decided at the last minute that it would be for Kane’s spot in the world title hunt. This one went 14 minutes with the high flying RVD taking it to the big red monster. RVD hit a Van Daminator and Kane fell out of the ring. RVD then went to the top rope and hit a frog splash on Kane. RVD rolled back in just as the ref counted to 10. RVD moves up in the rankings and Kane moves down.
The first world title match was next with Rey Mysterio taking on the Kraken. Mysterio stared off strong with a hurricanrana. He then hit a dropkick but the Kraken locked in the figure four. Rey made it to the ropes. Mysterio hit some reverse chops and Kraken hit Rey with a chair. Rey battled back and hit the 6-1-9 but only got a 2 count. The Kraken tosses Rey out of the ring but he is back in at 3. Rey hit some reverse chops and the Kraken hit him with a chair again (while the ref was distracted). Rey hits more reverse chops, goes for a pin but Kraken kicks out at 2. Rey hits a hurricanrana and Kraken kicks him in the groin. Rey hits another hurricanrana but Kraken locks him in a sleeper hold. More chops from the champ and another groin shot by the challenger. The Kraken follows it up with a piledriver. Rey hits a flying bodypress but Kraken, guess what, kicks him in the groin again. And yet, another groin shot from the challenger. Now, the ref warns him. If he does it again, he will be disqualified. Rey hits a dropkick but the Kraken hits the Kraken Crush but Rey makes it to the ropes to avoid tapping out. The Kraken goes for another groin shot but Rey hits a hurricanrana instead, goes for the cover but only gets a 2 count. The Kraken hits another groin shot and the ref goes to call for the DQ but Rey asks him not to. Rey goes to the top rope, hits a flying bodypress and makes the cover for the 1….2….3. Rey retains the title and the Kraken is now out of work.
Next up was John Cena defending the TV title against HHH. HHH owned Cena for the entire match. The end came at the 14 minute mark when a fan jumped the ringside barrier wearing a DX shirt. Cena couldn’t understand why a kid was wearing a DX shirt (instead of one of his) and HHH rolled him up for the 1-2-3 and becomes the NEW TV CHAMPION.
Abyss came out next for his match against Samoa Joe for the IC title. Joe got on the mic and said that after he dispatched Abyss, he was issuing a challenge to the world champion and vowed to take that title too. Abyss didn’t care for being dismissed this way so he handed Joe the beating of a lifetime. I’ve never seen Abyss this pumped up before. The match went 18 minutes with both men hitting their signature moves and both kicked out of them numerous times. Finally, Abyss hit the champ with a boot that nearly took off Joe’s head. Joe appeared to be out. Abyss made the cover and the ref counted 1…2….3. Abyss wins the match and is the NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.
Next was the next World title match with Donnie B taking on the Undertaker. You may remember in their last non-title match, Undertaker got Donnie B to tap to the Triangle choke in 3 minutes. He started off with the Triangle choke but Donnie B made it to the ropes. Undertaker then followed it up with a chokeslam. Undertaker then tossed the champ out of the ring and it appeared Donnie B hit his head on the steps. He wasn’t moving so Undertaker went out and tossed him back in at the 9 count. Donnie B connects somehow with an eye rake and Taker hits the tombstone piledriver. He makes the cover but DB gets his foot on the ropes after 1. Undertaker goes for a clothesline but DB gets out of the way. Donnie B goes to the ropes but Undertaker catches him, hits a tombstone piledriver and makes the cover but again, DB gets his foot on the ropes to break the count. DB hits Undertaker with a chair. Donnie B hits a superplex but before he can do anything, Taker locks in the triangle choke. DB makes it to the ropes. Donnie B hits the Lights out brainbuster but Taker rolls out of the ring to avoid the pin attempt. DB goes to the ropes and whatever he was going to do, nothing happened. DB hits a DDT and Taker hits a chokeslam. He then pulls off the strap and drags his thumb across his neck calling for the end. Donnie B looked totally freaked out. DB hits Taker with a chair and then gets tossed out of the ring. He tried to leave but Taker was there and got him back into the ring. Taker then choked DB until the ref made him break the hold. Undertaker called for a chokeslam and hit it. Just then, Randy Orton came out. DB tossed Taker to the outside and started to yell at Orton. Undertaker was back in by 4. DB hits a flying dropkick and Taker tried to choke him out again. DB hit a dropkick. He was going to go for a pin until Undertaker sat up. DB hit a Guerrero stomp and Taker hit a choke slam. Taker went back to choking the champ out. DB hits an eye rake to break the choke. DB hits a Guerrero stomp and out of nowhere, Taker grabs Donnie B and in the middle of the ring, locks in the Triangle choke. DB has nowhere to go so he taps out. Undertaker gets the win and is the NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Donnie B immediately called for his rematch. Donnie B and the Undertaker went another 25 minutes and in a fluke move, DB hits a neckbreaker and gets the pin. DB regains the title. Now, the two will square off in a steel cage.
Undertaker starts off with a clothesline. He followed it up with a tombstone piledriver but the champ kicked out at 1. Undertaker then locks in the triangle choke. Donnie B submits. Undertaker starts to go over the top and as Donnie B tries to stop him, Undertaker chokeslams the champ from the top of the cage to the mat below. Undertaker goes over the top and to the floor below and becomes the official HWF World Heavyweight Champion.
Next came the “loser must retire” matches.
First was Chris Jericho against Shelton Benjamin. In one of the shortest matches of the night, Jericho gets the win after hitting a Lionsault at the 5 minute mark. Shelton left the ring saddened but got an ovation from the fans.
Next was Carlito taking on Mike Knox. In a 21 minute ass-whipping, Carlito gets the win. Knox is now out of work. Not sure how this happened but Carlito is now in line for belts on both brands. We will have to wait and see how this works out.
Following that came the Big Show vs. Chris Daniels. In what really was a fluke win, Daniels gets the win in 3 minutes with a double jump moonsault. He then got on the mic and told Regal that since he felt he wasn’t treated fairly, he was quitting. He said goodbye to the fans and left. Since he wasn’t forced out, he may have an option to return in the future.
Now, we had the match to determine the path of Orton’s future. He had his match against Batista. If Orton were to lose, he would be traded to the CSWA. If he won, he would become the #1 contender for any title (and as many titles as) he wanted. Before the match began, Jeff Meyers and William Regal came out to watch. About 5 minutes into the match, for no reason whatsoever, Batista got up and walked out of the match. He kept walking by Mr. Meyers and Regal and (to the best of our knowledge,) walked right out of the building. Orton cheered that he was now the number one contender but Regal stopped him there. “First of all, you didn’t win. Batista lost. Not sure what’s happening there but that will be addressed at a later time. For now, you need to get a pin or submission if you are to stay in the HWF. It so happens that one person in the back has agreed to wrestle again tonight to take you on. It is none other than Donnie B. Donnie B came out for his 4th match of the night but had a look of determination on his face. Orton started off with some rapid punches and Donnie B tossed him out of the ring. Regal got on the mic and said this would be a no-countout match. Orton is back in at 9. Orton hit the Orton stomp twice and Donnie B took him down with a lights out brainbuster but he was not able to make a pin. Orton battled back with some rapid punches and Donnie B gave him an eye rake. Orton choked DB in the corner and as soon as he let up, DB hit Orton with a DDT. Orton hit a suplex and Donnie B came back with a Lights out Brainbuster. He made the cover and with a bit of help from the ropes, got the 1.2.3. Randy Orton is now the property of the CSWA. He is Meyers problem now.
Mr. Kennedy was up next defending the Cruiserweight title against Jeff Hardy. In 5 ½ minutes, Jeff ended up getting counted out allowing Kennedy to retain the Cruiserweight title.
Edge was up next defending the US title against Cena. Cena is already 0-1 tonight. This was the shortest match of the night. Just under 60 seconds. Cena tossed Edge out of the ring but he was immediately back in, hit a DDT and got the cover, the win and is still the US Champion.

That’s all. Good night everyone.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 4.5 – Last minute update
Donnie B was in the ring talking about his accolades and touched on a subject that was near and dear to everyone’s heart. “I have done something that I never expected to happen. I became the HWF World Heavyweight Champion. I didn’t do it by hook or crook as the Negronomicon did. I went out and beat the best in the world – Christian. I never expected to retain the title but as fate ran its course, I went a whole month without losing the title. I joked around that I now had as long of a title reign as Rugged Ronnie Garvin. I went on to beat Christian at Wrestlemania and retain my title. Now, I had one more win than Garvin. I also went up against probably the greatest wrestler to hold the CSWA World title – Booker T. I defeated him too (at least that’s what the record books show). Of course, I did not win against Samoa Joe but then again, he is the Undisputed Champion. Next, I took on probably one of the best up and comers in the business – AJ Styles. I walked away from that one too with the title in tact. Now, I have 2 wins…2 more that Ronnie. Now, it’s about being serious. How can someone like Ronnie Garvin claim to be this great champion (he did beat Ric Flair though) but then, 30 days later, after a nice vacation, he lost that belt back to Flair. He didn’t even have one successful defense. How can he claim this? I, a lowly wrestler, have 2 defenses and he had none. So, with all this in mind, I want to call out Ronnie. I know you’re in the back visiting so I’m asking you to come down now.”
After about 30 seconds, Ronnie Garvin made his way down to ringside. He looked about the same as he did in the 80’s…flat top haircut and looks like his neck disappeared. Donnie B gave him a second mic. “Ronnie, you heard me talking about you for the past few weeks, first joking and then becoming serious. I want to know how you think you can call yourself a real champion when you never had a successful title defense.” Ronnie started up “First of all, I beat one of the greatest wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots – Ric Flair. After I delivered the ass-beating to him, he was just no match for the ‘Hands of Stone’ and he lost. Yes, I was sent on ‘vacation’ as you call it but I was training and working out so when I came back, I’d hand Flair another beatdown.” Donnie B interrupted “But we see how all that went for you. You immediately lost the title. You said you were the best and you failed in that claim.” “I beat Flair! You beat two guys that together have less experience than the Nature Boy did.” “Ronnie,” DB continued “I’m not discounting the fact that you were a world champion. I’m discounting the fact that even as you claimed it, you were NOT a defending World Champion.” “I BEAT FLAIR” Garvin threw out there, yet again. “I tell you what. I want to challenge you to a match. But the only thing I want to come from this is that if you LOSE – notice I said IF and not WHEN – I’m not saying I can even beat you – I want you to acknowledge that you were a world champion but not a defending champion. That’s all. We can do this at the PPV if you’d like.” Garvin replied “I don’t owe you anything. I don’t owe anyone anything. So no, I won’t wrestle you at your PPV. What I will do is, I believe you have a show coming up in North Carolina, my home town. You want a fight, it will be there, in front of all my fans. But you will have to do something in order for this to happen.” Donnie B added “First of all, I’m not going to dress up like your alter-ego ‘Miss Atlanta Lively’. I’m not going that route. All I want is a simple statement.” “Fine. If I defeat you, you will never say another derogatory thing about me – EVER. Hell, you even have to become a fan of mine and ACKNOWLEDGE it in front of the World – say at your PPV. I’ll do what you ask if you do what I ask. What do you say?” “I agree. But know this, you will have to have a warm up match – against a man who, to a point, worships you. You will have to fight the Negronomicon. But there is a catch, Negronomicon, you can’t just lay down. You must put up a fight. In fact, to make it worth your while, I will let you out of the remainder of your agreement IF you win by pinfall or submission. No more payback, no more forced jobs. Second, just to make sure this all stays fair, 2 more of your (Garvin) fans will be required to be at ringside – MW3 and the Super Warrior. Guys, guess what? No backstabbing here. No siding with your ‘hero’. If either one of you cause disruption in the match, you lose your careers. Simple as that.”
About a week later, the Negronomicon had his match with Ronnie Garvin. Here we thought that the Negronomicon was going to do another job but we were so wrong. As soon as the bell rang, N tossed Garvin out of the ring. He didn’t even pay attention as he was yelling at the fans. Garvin went and got himself counted out. By the time N knew what was going on, it was too late. He won the match but since it was not by pin or submission, he’s still locked into the terms of his contract. His hopes bashed, he left the ring with a mixture of anger and disappointment.
Garvin then called down Donnie B for their match. Donnie B got to the ring and then called out MW3 and the Super Warrior just to keep things ‘fair’.
The bell rang and Donnie B’s match with Rugged Ronnie Garvin began. Donnie B started off by tossing Garvin out of the ring but RG was back in at 6. DB followed it up with a Guerrero stomp. DB then hits Garvin with a chair but Garvin turns around and delivers the Hands of Stone. DB rolled out of the ring but was back in with time to spare. DB connects with a flying dropkick and RG hits a forearm to the chest. Donnie B connects with a DDT and goes for the cover but Garvin kicks out at 2. DB hits another DDT but Garvin locks in a nasty headlock. An eyerake from DB is met with another headlock. Garvin then hits a backdrop. DB with a dropkick and Garvin with the headlock. DB hits a dropkick and goes for the pin but Garvin kicks out at 1. DB hits the Guerrero stomp (he is mimicking the Garvin stomp now) and goes for a pin but only gets a 2 count. DB hits another dropkick, goes for the pin but Garvin reaches the ropes at 1. Garvin hits a hip toss, DB hits a neckbreaker, goes for the pin but only a 2 count. Garvin battles back with an Eagle Split. DB hits a eye rake, Garvin locks in a Boston Crab but DB makes it to the ropes. Garvin hits another back drop to add more pain to DB’s back. Garvin picks up Donnie B and goes for the Hands of Stone but Donnie B ducks it, nails a DDT right in the middle of the ring and the ref counts 1….2……3. Donnie B is the winner of the match. MW3 and Super Warrior remained at ringside but were never needed. Donnie B got a mic and told Garvin what he needed to do. Garvin took the mic. “As per the agreement I made with Donnie B, since I lost, I get to acknowledge that I was a World Champion BUT not a defending one. There, are you happy?” Donnie B went up to him and tried to shake his hand but Garvin lashed out with a Hands of Stone shot that put the HWF World Champion to bed. MW3 and the Super Warrior looked on in amazement but didn’t do anything. Garvin looked at them and gave them a smile and a wave. I think this made the year of both MW3 and the Super Warrior.
The PPV results will be the next post.
After about 30 seconds, Ronnie Garvin made his way down to ringside. He looked about the same as he did in the 80’s…flat top haircut and looks like his neck disappeared. Donnie B gave him a second mic. “Ronnie, you heard me talking about you for the past few weeks, first joking and then becoming serious. I want to know how you think you can call yourself a real champion when you never had a successful title defense.” Ronnie started up “First of all, I beat one of the greatest wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots – Ric Flair. After I delivered the ass-beating to him, he was just no match for the ‘Hands of Stone’ and he lost. Yes, I was sent on ‘vacation’ as you call it but I was training and working out so when I came back, I’d hand Flair another beatdown.” Donnie B interrupted “But we see how all that went for you. You immediately lost the title. You said you were the best and you failed in that claim.” “I beat Flair! You beat two guys that together have less experience than the Nature Boy did.” “Ronnie,” DB continued “I’m not discounting the fact that you were a world champion. I’m discounting the fact that even as you claimed it, you were NOT a defending World Champion.” “I BEAT FLAIR” Garvin threw out there, yet again. “I tell you what. I want to challenge you to a match. But the only thing I want to come from this is that if you LOSE – notice I said IF and not WHEN – I’m not saying I can even beat you – I want you to acknowledge that you were a world champion but not a defending champion. That’s all. We can do this at the PPV if you’d like.” Garvin replied “I don’t owe you anything. I don’t owe anyone anything. So no, I won’t wrestle you at your PPV. What I will do is, I believe you have a show coming up in North Carolina, my home town. You want a fight, it will be there, in front of all my fans. But you will have to do something in order for this to happen.” Donnie B added “First of all, I’m not going to dress up like your alter-ego ‘Miss Atlanta Lively’. I’m not going that route. All I want is a simple statement.” “Fine. If I defeat you, you will never say another derogatory thing about me – EVER. Hell, you even have to become a fan of mine and ACKNOWLEDGE it in front of the World – say at your PPV. I’ll do what you ask if you do what I ask. What do you say?” “I agree. But know this, you will have to have a warm up match – against a man who, to a point, worships you. You will have to fight the Negronomicon. But there is a catch, Negronomicon, you can’t just lay down. You must put up a fight. In fact, to make it worth your while, I will let you out of the remainder of your agreement IF you win by pinfall or submission. No more payback, no more forced jobs. Second, just to make sure this all stays fair, 2 more of your (Garvin) fans will be required to be at ringside – MW3 and the Super Warrior. Guys, guess what? No backstabbing here. No siding with your ‘hero’. If either one of you cause disruption in the match, you lose your careers. Simple as that.”
About a week later, the Negronomicon had his match with Ronnie Garvin. Here we thought that the Negronomicon was going to do another job but we were so wrong. As soon as the bell rang, N tossed Garvin out of the ring. He didn’t even pay attention as he was yelling at the fans. Garvin went and got himself counted out. By the time N knew what was going on, it was too late. He won the match but since it was not by pin or submission, he’s still locked into the terms of his contract. His hopes bashed, he left the ring with a mixture of anger and disappointment.
Garvin then called down Donnie B for their match. Donnie B got to the ring and then called out MW3 and the Super Warrior just to keep things ‘fair’.
The bell rang and Donnie B’s match with Rugged Ronnie Garvin began. Donnie B started off by tossing Garvin out of the ring but RG was back in at 6. DB followed it up with a Guerrero stomp. DB then hits Garvin with a chair but Garvin turns around and delivers the Hands of Stone. DB rolled out of the ring but was back in with time to spare. DB connects with a flying dropkick and RG hits a forearm to the chest. Donnie B connects with a DDT and goes for the cover but Garvin kicks out at 2. DB hits another DDT but Garvin locks in a nasty headlock. An eyerake from DB is met with another headlock. Garvin then hits a backdrop. DB with a dropkick and Garvin with the headlock. DB hits a dropkick and goes for the pin but Garvin kicks out at 1. DB hits the Guerrero stomp (he is mimicking the Garvin stomp now) and goes for a pin but only gets a 2 count. DB hits another dropkick, goes for the pin but Garvin reaches the ropes at 1. Garvin hits a hip toss, DB hits a neckbreaker, goes for the pin but only a 2 count. Garvin battles back with an Eagle Split. DB hits a eye rake, Garvin locks in a Boston Crab but DB makes it to the ropes. Garvin hits another back drop to add more pain to DB’s back. Garvin picks up Donnie B and goes for the Hands of Stone but Donnie B ducks it, nails a DDT right in the middle of the ring and the ref counts 1….2……3. Donnie B is the winner of the match. MW3 and Super Warrior remained at ringside but were never needed. Donnie B got a mic and told Garvin what he needed to do. Garvin took the mic. “As per the agreement I made with Donnie B, since I lost, I get to acknowledge that I was a World Champion BUT not a defending one. There, are you happy?” Donnie B went up to him and tried to shake his hand but Garvin lashed out with a Hands of Stone shot that put the HWF World Champion to bed. MW3 and the Super Warrior looked on in amazement but didn’t do anything. Garvin looked at them and gave them a smile and a wave. I think this made the year of both MW3 and the Super Warrior.
The PPV results will be the next post.

Wrestling Newsletter Year 5 (2010) 4.4
Hello fans. As we build up for the “Over the Edge” PPV, we had some matches take place to see if anyone would be moving up or down in the rankings.
First, over in the CSWA (note, these events took place over different days):
The first match was MW3 challenging John Cena for his spot for the US title. MW3 put up a good fight and took the champ 19 minutes in a good ol-fashioned brawl, but in the end was no match for the 5 knuckle shuffle and the 3 count. John Cena retains his spot.
Next, John Morrison challenged Mr. Kennedy for his shot at the TV title. This one was really short. Morrison held his own until, at the 3 minute mark, got tossed out of the ring. Kennedy followed him out and ran his head into a ringpost. Kennedy rolled back in and beat the 10 count and retained his spot. I would not be surprised to see Morrison want some revenge.
Matt Hardy was next to challenge the Super Warrior for his spot in line for the US title. This was another short match that saw the Super Warrior retain his spot after Matt Hardy got counted out (after Jeff Hardy caused a distraction).
The Kraken challenged Jeff Hardy for his title spot. Jeff Hardy retained his spot after connecting with a swanton bomb and getting the 1-2-3.
HHH challenges Shelton Benjamin for his tv title spot. This was probably the most lopsided match. Benjamin didn’t want to fight but was told by William Regal that he must accept the challenge. Benjamin then asked that if the sledgehammer came into play in this match that HHH would be disqualified and not get the spot. Regal agreed. HHH didn’t care for this stipulation so he purposefully pulled the sledgehammer out early. He went to hit Shelton with it but Shelton reversed it and hit a shoulder to the gut. HHH then hit Shelton with the sledgehammer after Shelton hit a T-Bone Suplex. The ref didn’t see it but Shelton kicked out. HHH hit a kneedrop and spit water in Shelton’s face. HHH then tossed Shelton out of the ring and hit him with the sledgehammer again. HHH rolled back in and Shelton got counted out. As soon as the bell rang, Regal appeared on the screen and told HHH that if he used the sledgehammer, he would be DQ’d. Regal told the ref to announce Shelton as the winner of the match via DQ. Shelton retains his spot. HHH was pissed.
RVD challenges Jeff Jarrett for his world title shot. This was another long match that saw Jarrett own the challenger. At the 19 minute mark, somehow RVD hit a Van Daminator and basically fell on Jarrett. The ref made the count and RVD got the win and the title shot.
Chris Jericho challenges MVP for his US title spot. MVP was on fire and took it to Jericho. At the 5 minute mark though, Randy Orton appeared at the top of the ramp. Confused, Jericho missed a spot and MVP took advantage hitting a Ballin’ Elbow smash and got the win. He retains his spot.
MW3 challenges Mike Knox for his shot for the TV title. Knox retains his spot after landing a nasty elbow drop on the sternum of MW3.
MW3 then issued a challenge to the Cruiserweight Champion Mr. Kennedy for his spot at the TV title. In 24 minutes, MW3 gets the win with a dragonscrew. MW3 takes over Kennedy’s spot. Immediately, HHH came out and challenged MW3. HHH gets the win in 19 minutes.
Kane challenges Ted Dibiasi for his world title spot. In a short match, Kane moves up the rankings after hitting a clothesline from the top rope.
Over in the HWF (again, these matches took place over different days):
Samoa Joe challenges Undertaker for his world title shot. This was a rematch that saw Undertaker demand that if he retains his spot against Joe that he gets a rematch for the IC title. Joe agreed. The Undertaker owned Joe and got a merciful win after hitting the Last Ride. Undertaker gets a shot somewhere down the line at the IC title.
CM Punk challenges Ric Flair for his NA title shot. Punk owned Flair. Ric had no idea what he’d gotten himself into. The end came when Super Warrior came down and distracted Flair. Flair was irate that someone would interfere in his match. This gave Punk time to lock in the Anaconda Vice and got Flair to tap out. CM Punk gets Flair’s title shot. After the match, Super Warrior got in the ring and nailed Flair with 2 Super Powerbombs.
Batista challenges Devon Dudley for his NA title shot. This was by far the shortest match that saw, in 2 minutes, Devon get counted out giving the title shot to the Animal.
Carlito challenges Santino for his IC title spot. Carlito was whipping Santino’s ass but Santino got lucky when Carlito didn’t make it back in the ring before a 10 count. Santino retains his spot.
Fit Finley challenges Stevie Richards for his x-division title spot. If Richards loses, he is gone. This one went the full 30 minutes. Richards had gotten knocked out by the shillelagh. The ref counted to 10 just as the bell rang so there was some confusion as to if the match was a draw or if Finley got the win. Regal came out and said they would have a second match and since Richards had so much riding on this, it was turned into a steel cage match.
Richards really tried but was just no match for Finley. Finley locked in the celtic cross at the 2 minute mark and Stevie tapped. He did, however manage to stop Finley from leaving the ring. He took 8 minutes to try to pin the crazy Finley but not even the Stevie kick helped. At the 10 minute mark, Finley made it out of the ring and got the win AND ended the career of Stevie Richards. Everyone moves up and there are 2 vacancies for the X-division title now.
AJ challenges Cody Rhodes for his NA title spot. This was the shortest match of the night. Cody got counted out just after 30 seconds. AJ takes over his spot. CM Punk comes out and challenges AJ for his spot. AJ defeats Punk with a spin kick at the 15 minute mark.
Kurt Angle challenges the Big Show for his World title spot. Kurt moves up after Big Show got counted out.
Bubba challenges Chris Masters for his IC spot. Masters’ retains his spot after a beautiful belly to back suplex in the middle of the ring.
Jeff Hardy & the Kraken challenge Matt Hardy and John Morrison for their spot. Morrison gets the pin over the Kraken in 28 minutes. They retain their spot.
Randy Orton challenges Sting for the IC title shot. If Randy loses or is co/dq, he will not be eligible to try for a title again until May. Randy loses via countout in 11 ½ minutes. He then grabs a mic and demands to be traded to the CSWA. William Regal ponders it and then states that after the PPV, Orton may have a new home…but he must first defeat someone (TBD) in order to get his wish. That match will happen at the ppv.
The final match was the Undertaker vs. Donnie B in a non-title match up. In 3 short minutes, Donnie B taps out to the triangle choke.
Regal came out and made another match for the PPV: Donnie B vs the Undertaker for the World Title. Undertaker was going to be taking on Ric Flair with Flair’s career in the balance but due to their ongoing feud, Flair will be going up against the Super Warrior.
The PPV should be up next so stay tuned.
