YEPW Fully Charged XVIII Shane Bader v White Wasp Blayrec v Trey Tallman The Entourage v The Soul Collectors Australian Devil & D-Pod v Black Flash & The Void Optional Questions What did you think about The Season 3 finale and Season Four Opening? The combination of the two shows worked really well in finishing off some workers stories and transitioning into the next chapter of things for the main characters. The season opener really felt like everyone was coming after Jester, in a sort of 'be careful what you wish for' kind of way now that he's the champ, but he had an answer for every obstacle thrown in his way, such is befitting of his evil lunatic genius.

It's a Friday night where I'm bored and skint, so I thought I'd do something a bit fun and different and do a 'live tweet' style of my thoughts on the show as I read it. I have to confess something, up until this show, I didn't bother playing the entrance theme music you selected for the shows or any of the workers. Boy do I regret that! The opening song just fits the show perfectly! I'm not music literate, so while I recognised some of the artists/names, it added a whole new dimension to the show. That Martyr segment was perfect. The moment I saw it was a 'day in the life of' for Martyr, I hoped for exactly the sort of skit that the segment delivered! Now, just to tack on to that, what made it even more perfect for me was the jaunty guitar solo happening from the show's opening theme in the background at the time - roughly 3:30 in. Blended perfectly which was just *chefs kiss*. Ew, is Peter Valentine turning babyface? *vomit* What is this?! Sam Strong's wet dream wrestling? Zip Deverall's render makes him look a lot bulkier than the usual whiny, skinny heel I imagine him to be, but it's fun viewing him in a new light with some substance behind his big ego. Book it Shane! I'll never forgive Jim Lou for taking shots at me on commentary. I hope to see more of both Bullseye and Waylon Walls going forward - not even particularly in the tag team scene, but rather the hardcore division. Chess Master's promo was great at giving us more insight into the character. The only thing that would have topped it off for me was if he had butlers etc that he forced to dress like chess pieces. But that might be going too far into a campy melodramatic skew of an unhinged aristocrat for what the character is supposed to be. Extraordinario Jr is going to be a fun edition to the roster - I can't wait to see the character you write for him. I honestly mean this as a compliment to your writing, but I struggle to invest in workers like LaGrenier and Pelton. I say that because they are relatively gimmickless when compared to the likes of Animal Harker, Chess Maniac, Texas Hangman, Deacon Darkhold etc, who you write so well. Not that you write the 'actual wrestler' characters badly, far from it, just that they naturally pale in comparison to the eccentricity of the more gimmicky workers who you make jump right off of the page! Getting 'good wrestler' over in an e-fed is a hard task, because, as I'm sure I've covered elsewhere before, wrestling is a visual sport! That said, you've definitely got a flair for freakshow oddball bloodlust horror writing, at times I feel like I'm walking through a creepy carnival tour that has wrestling matches and promos showcased in every tent. I will immediately hold my hands up to being a hypocrite regarding the above remark when it comes to Conner Threepwood. He's just so underutilised in C-Verse canon that I mark out at him getting this time to shine with every segment he's in. I'm starting to think that GWC doesn't actually hold the licensing rights for some of these tracks... Surely an upstanding member of the community such as Peter Valentine has secured the relevant permissions to permit use of such copyrighted material? Harlem Hayes showed a lot more respect for Threepwood, the title and wrestling as whole than I was expecting. It was refreshing for a 'gangsta' style heel to go down this route (ignoring his attack from the previous show). Good ol' Jiffy, getting rid of one of those pesky Peppers. He should've taken them both out - identical twins switching places in wrestling is a worse gimmick than, oh I don't know, a pirate... (I jest, I just had to edit my show twice after spotting typos seconds after posting it. It gets me unduly angry at myself...) Outlaws vs Cowboys impending... I've teleported from creepy carnival to the dusty wild west! Is this what Texarkana is like?! Yes, a wrestling crowd would go crazy for the 'bah wah-ah-ah-ah' of Animal Harker's entrance music. Meanwhile Christopher Ball's song is as perpetually angry as he is. Animal John Harker-Moxley as he's also known. The ultimate heel - a network executive who airs a wrestling promotion without knowing what wrestling is. I'm looking forward to Sneer becoming a bigger part of the GCW story.

British Omega Wrestling Night Of Wrestling #9 Wednesday Week 1 April 2020 Birmingham, Midlands The BOW broadcast team: Martin Bloydell, Melanie Florence and Jackie Goldstein. Martin Bloydell: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to BOW Night Of Wrestling, coming to you live from Birmingham. We hope you had an egg-cellent Easter weekend and are ready for a cracking show ahead! Melanie Florence: Oh boy… I can’t even deal with those terrible puns Martin. Ahem. Coming up first we have women’s division action as Aud Valkyrie takes on K.T. Devonshire in our opening contest. Jackie Goldstein: Both women are looking to redeem themselves after losses in their last outings, with Devonshire failing to win the Women’s Championship from Thea Davis, and Valkyrie who lost to Viper McKenna thanks to interference from the debuting Steph Blake. Match One: Aud Valkyrie vs K.T. Devonshire The show’s opening contest saw Aud Valkyrie and K.T. Devonshire square off in a match that lasted eight minutes. Both women had their moments in what was a very run-of-the-mill match that was more focused on engaging the audience ahead of the rest of the show. Valkyrie scored the win in a rather unorthodox manner, showing her versatility as she forced K.T. Devonshire to submit to an Octopus Hold. Winner by submission: Aud Valkyrie Valkyrie’s arm was raised in triumph for but a moment before she was attacked, Steph Blake continuing the heated animosity between these two women by laying out Valkyrie for a second time. Not to be outdone by Valkyrie’s attack on her last week, Steph Blake sought out a table from beneath the ring, taking sick satisfaction in slamming Valkyrie through the wooden structure. Nicole Phillips is with JK Lee backstage. Nicole Phillips: JK Lee, last week you cost Jason Dempsey his Honour Championship match against Lenny Mochin. Why? JK Lee: Your focus is on the wrong match. You see, last week there was a trios match, where the winners are facing off in a three-way match tonight to determine the next contender for the Honour title. But clearly I’ve not done enough around here to impress management because I wasn’t in that trios match. So I took things into my own hands, and now management knows exactly who I am. JK Lee stops speaking when Christian Blithe enters the frame. Christian Blithe: You know you weren’t the only one disappointed not to be in that trios match? But there are better ways to get yourself noticed around here. If it’s opportunity you want, why don’t we have ourselves a match next week and show management exactly what they’re missing out on? JK Lee nods as neither he nor Blithe break eye contact. Match Two: Clubber Kohl (w/ Eva Berlin) vs The Party Animals The two victims plucked out for The War Dog Clubber Kohl to destroy turned out to be The Party Animals Rave and Trance, former jobbers for 21CW in a three-year stint for that national promotion. They lasted less than three minutes against Kohl, who absolutely annihilated the tag team, ending things with an impressive feat of strength by carrying them both on a single shoulder to land his Hamburg Express on two men in one go. Winner via pinfall: Clubber Kohl Eva Berlin pushes away the referee to raise Kohl’s arm in victory before she speaks into a microphone. Eva Berlin: It is time for The War Dog to stop playing with the scraps and get what he is owed. A shot at the BOW World Championship. Berlin is suddenly cut off by the titan tron begins to play a video. It’s ‘The Dread Pirate’ Hugh de Aske. But gone is the bandana and the eyeliner, the dreadlocks are tied away, and nestled in some fresh, thick stubble is a terse grimace which was once a jovial smile. Hugh de Aske: Kohl, before you commandeered your way into my life, I was happy sailing the seas, riding the crazy open waters of professional wrestling. But when you plundered away my World title, you also stole a part of me. I tried to stay the happy-go-lucky Pirate, but what little was left of him was killed when you left me a beaten, battered, bloody mess at For Whom The Bell Tolls. Now I’m not just a pirate, but a vigilante too. And I’m coming for you. Before Eva and Kohl even have a chance to respond, The War Dog is pounced on from behind by the new look Hugh de Aske. The Vigilante Pirate lays several blows into his nemesis, with Kohl managing to land a few as a retort before being smuggled out of the ring by his handler Berlin. Match Three: Bali Daljit vs Stuntman Daljit’s mystery opponent was the debuting Stuntman, who last wrestled in the UK as Simon Ice before moving across the pond and developing his new devil may care, show stealing SOB character. While much of this match was high risk aerial action, both men possess an underrated technical ability between the ropes that added substance to the construction of the bout. The commentators put over how both men will be part of the House Of Madness match at the Madness event, with the combat showing how both men have the explosive, exciting style that compliments the soon-to-debut Hardcore title. Despite a solid outing for his debut, Stuntman was put away by Daljit after seven minutes with a graceful Shooting Star Press. Winner by pinfall: Bali Daljit Right as Bali Daljit looked into the camera and gestured for the championship to be around his waist, he was grabbed by Stuntman. Stuntman extended his hand out for Daljit, who dutifully accepted. But mid-shake, Stuntman cemented himself as a heel in his new home by delivering a swift kick to Daljit below the belt. Nicole Phillips is stood backstage with Steffi Chee. Nicole Phillips: Steffi Chee, last week you scored what many considered to be an upset victory over Karen Bilous. How do you feel after this win and what’s next for you? Steffi Chee: I’m riding high after last week Nicole, that’s for sure. And for those calling my win a fluke or an upset, well you can keep underestimating me, but you do so at your own peril, eh. As for what’s next, well I’ve won titles in America, I’ve won titles in Canada, and I’ve won titles in Europe. And I’d love to add the UK to that list. Viper McKenna: Oh you would, would ya? Viper McKenna walks into the shot. Viper McKenna: Well, you’re not the only one with your eyes on the title. So, if you’re looking for a title shot then that means you’re in my way. And I don’t take too kindly to people in my way. Steffi Chee: That sounds like a challenge to me, Viper. Why don’t you and I settle this in the ring next week? Viper McKenna: You’re on. Both women exchange a tense stare down before departing in opposite directions. As Thea Davis waits in the ring, her mystery challenger’s music hits, and arriving on the entrance stage is the Irish technician, ‘Classy’ Cassie O’Peter. Cassie O’Peter: Thea, our paths have crossed before in Europe. I have admired you for many years, you have been an inspiration for me personally. But when I heard about your open challenge last week, I knew I had to be the one to accept. You may have been an inspiration, but now it’s time for me to step out from your shadow and make things around here a little more… Classy. Match Four: BOW Women's Championship: Thea Davis (C) vs Cassie O'Peter Perhaps a little blinded by the bright lights of the biggest show she’s ever performed in, Cassie O'Peter was really off her game against ‘The Red Queen’ Thea Davis. The champion, ever the consummate professional, was able to carry the rookie to an adequate match, scoring a routine victory with her Flying Elbow Drop after nine minutes. The commentary team put over how Davis’ open challenge will continue next week, as BOW continues to add some depth to their women’s division. Winner by pinfall and still BOW Women's Champion: Thea Davis Match Five: Nigel Svensson (w/ Fink Finkleton and Pavel Vanzycha) vs Billy Robinson (w/ Don Henderson) The opening contest in the ‘singles series’ between the BOW Tag Team Champions The Shooters and their challengers Vanzycha & Svensson saw Billy Robinson against Nigel Svensson, with both their teammates at ringside. Commentary put over how these two men actually teamed together in Japan under the name ‘The Hurt’ for former PGHW developmental promotion SAISHO, right up until January when Svensson walked out on the company, leaving Robinson high and dry. But the two competitors didn’t need the backstory to get the crowd buzzing, as they stole the show with a fantastic match that lasted over thirteen minutes. Technical wrestling dominated the proceedings as expected, and Nigel Svensson scored a huge win in not only beating his former partner, but by forcing him to tap out to his Hyper Extension Arm Lock. Winner by submission: Nigel Svensson. In the ring under dim lights, Night Spyder stands with Laurel Wreath by his side. Night Spyder: Matthew, did you think things were over between us? Things will never be over between us. You are my muse, Matthew. For as long as there is light in your eyes and air in my lungs, things between you and I shall never end. We are connected, you and I. Shackled together by chains forged in the depths of darkness. Wherever you go I am bound by duty to follow. Much like last week, Matthew. Night Spyder turns to Wreath and caresses her cheek. Night Spyder: The Devil’s Damsel whispers his message in my ear, and he commands that I hurt you. You live your life with such recklessness, with such negligence to consequence. There must always be consequences Matthew. The Devil decrees it. And he has entrusted me with delivering consequence unto you. So that is what I will do until there is no more air in my lungs. I will hunt you and I will hurt you until the close the lid on my cold, lifeless corpse and return me to his Unholy Paradise. Match Six: The Foreign Legion vs Royal Air Force (w/ Nate Manchester) Yet again tag team wrestling continues to provide the best in-ring action for British Omega Wrestling, as The Foreign Legion and Royal Air Force were able to follow Svensson and Robinson with a match that kept the crowd pumped up. The Foreign Legion continue to be an underrated act for the promotion, being part of some of the company’s best contests between the ropes, and you must think they’re going to earn themselves a little more time under the spotlight soon. For now though, this bout was about Royal Air Force, who returned to winning ways when Jon Michael Sharp pinned Pierre DuPont with the Disarmer after ten minutes. Winners by pinfall: Royal Air Force Seeking revenge for the Three Lions preventing their interference last week, The Assassins’ Guild jumped Royal Air Force after the match. Nate Manchester, who had been ringside for the match, quickly aided his teammates, giving the numbers advantages to the babyfaces as the fighting made it’s way up the entrance ramp. A Thunder Punch from out of nowhere by a sneering Colin Picalo wiped out Manchester though, giving The Assassins’ Guild the opening to retreat. Match Seven: Dangermouth (w/ Mo Adebola and The Northern Lights) vs Landon Mallory A third strong match in a row saw Landon Mallory take on the Grime Music Mogul Dangermouth, who was accompanied by his lawyer Mo Adebola and Danger Zone stablemates in The Northern Lights. This hard-hitting seven minute brawl saw Mallory fighting at a disadvantage, remaining cautious of the threat of the menacing Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan at ringside. One on one with Dangermouth, the experience of Mallory gave him full control, a fact not lost on Adebola, who instructed The Northern Lights to interject themselves. Before the duo could get involved, however, Eric Future and Petey Barnes ran down to the ringside area, brawling with the two men who have been terrorising them since BOW’s inception. Left to fight for himself, Dangermouth was put down by Mallory with the Springbok Ram for the win. Winner by pinfall: Landon Mallory The brawl between The Northern Lights and Future X continued at ringside, with a frustrated Dangermouth joining the fight beside his teammates. With the numbers advantage, Danger Zone were in control, until the arrival of The X Force’s Christopher Lister and Jase Cole sent the heel group into retreat. For the second time The X Force extended their hands to Future X, but Barnes and Future rejected the offer of friendship yet again, walking away. Martin Bloydell: I’m getting word that Dunton Hall has just booked a tag team match for next week, he says that it’s going to be Future X vs The X Force in a rematch from the Tag Team Tournament semi-final! Jackie Goldstein: Hold up Martin, look at the ring! Meanwhile, Landon Mallory was left alone in the ring, having seen the entire brawl unfold. Unfortunately for him that meant he was distracted, as Walker van Cleer slid into the ring and drove a steel chair into the back of Mallory with a sickening thud. As Landon Mallory writhed around on the ring mat in pain, Walker looked down on him with bitter disdain. Match Eight: Gram Gorman vs Konrad Makinen vs Padraig O'Hearne Three prominent babyfaces of the BOW mid-card met in the main event of this week’s Night Of Wrestling, with the number one contender’s spot for the Honour Championship at stake. The champion Lenny Mochin made his presence felt, stonily watching the thirteen-minute match as he sat on a steel chair next to the commentary team. He had the best seat in the house, getting to witness a great match unfold. The three competitors had the crowd in the palm of their hands the entire time, perfectly balancing fans on bated breath with each near fall. Padraig O’Hearne managed to break up Konrad Makinen’s Swedish Grapevine on Gram Gorman at the last second, leaving the two in the ring together. Makinen and O’Hearne go for broke, swinging at each other with wild punches. O’Hearne manages to gain control, and lifts Makinen in position for his Crowning Glory. But before he can hit the move, he’s attacked from behind by two men. Merle O’Curle and Joey Beauchamp pounce on Padraig, battering him to the mat. Konrad Makinen stirs, but he too is taken down by the two grizzled veterans. With Makinen and O’Hearne at their feet, Merle O’Curle and Joey Beauchamp smirk in satisfaction before taking their leave. Makinen is the first to his feet again, but is met by Gram Gorman, unaware of the beatdown that ensued, who hits the groggy Swede with his Gorman-Aghast to become the number one contender. Winner by pinfall: Gram Gorman

Thank you to those who nominated and/or voted for my content! It is very humbling and reaffirming to know people are liking what you're writing, and I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my little slice of fantasy wrestling. Congratulations to all the other winners and nominees too! And @newbieznessglad it's on the list, we'll be happy to have you there and hope you enjoy it, whenever you get the chance to start!

Apologies to everyone, there seems to be a little confusion surrounding this match. To confirm, it is Dangermouth vs Landon Mallory in a one on one match, with both members of The Northern Lights and Mo Adebola at ringside for Dangermouth. It should probably read Dangermouth (w/ Mo Adebola and The Northern Lights) vs Landon Mallory. When I'm next at my PC I'll change this, and stick to this style moving forward. @KyTeranand @smw88if you wish to change your prediction with this in mind then this is your warning to do so! Sorry all!

A very strong round of predictions for you Ky, only being let down by Steffi Chee's upset victory! Stuart and the women let you down this week smw - that said, if I'm not mistaken, I am sure you always predict Stuart Wilson to win in every diary he's involved in - which I get a real kick out of 😆 he's got some high profile matches coming up in the next couple of months if my plans stay the same, so he's definitely one to watch! Again, another strong set of predictions that was only blemished by Steffi Chee's shock victory over Bilous! (I've covered the two wrong predictions enough above so I'll respond to one of your other comments!) Your guys got their win over The X Force, but at what cost? There's now both The X Force and Future X with legitimate grievances against The Northern Lights, though they seem to have issues with each other too! Hey, wake up! If you'd paid attention to the Honour division matches you would've scored better! Prediction Results: @KyTeran - 7/8 @Wrestling Machine - 7/8 @Charasmatic Enigma - 6/8 @willr0ck - 6/8 @smw88 - 5/8 Overall Scores: @Charasmatic Enigma - 14/16 @KyTeran - 14/16 @Wrestling Machine - 14/16 @willr0ck - 13/16 @smw88 - 5/8 A very close top of the table after the first two shows - but with well over 60 more points to play for there's still a lot that can happen!

First Round: The Big Guns vs Joffy Laine, Miller Fforde [1 Pts] Losing here sets up The Big Guns (and the rest of The Most Wanted) to cost Laine and Fforde down the line. First Round: The Hive vs The War Engine [1 Pts] Personal preference mostly. First Round: The American Cobras vs The Canadian Blondes [1 Pts] Logic suggests The Canadian Blondes win here to legitimise themselves as the next number one contenders, but I think the champions need to avoid losing their first match as champions. First Round: The Heartbreak Express vs Ernest Youngman, Jake Idol [1 Pts] I think this might be setting up for the MSW version of Youngman's Steel Circle stable in PSW. Semifinal: Winner of 1st match of the First Round (Joffy Laine, Miller Fforde) vs Winner of 2nd match of the First Round (The War Engine) [1 Pts] Dreadnought is kept strong by the world champion being the only man to better him in a match so far. Semifinal: Winner of 3rd match of the First Round (The American Cobras) vs Winner of 4th match of the First Round (Ernest Youngman, Jake Idol) [1 Pts] A shock as two non-teams make it all the way to the finals. Final: Winner of 1st Semifinal (Joffy Laine, Miller Fforde) vs Winner of 2nd Semifinal (Ernest Youngman, Jake Idol) [3 Pts] Ernest Youngman picks up a win here over the champion, courtesy of The Most Wanted costing Laine and Fforde the match. This serves the dual purpose of giving Youngman the win over Laine to establish him as the next main challenger for the belt, and Fforde having umbrage with Bradley Blaze for costing him a big tournament victory, setting up a feud between the two.

CGC Canadian Title Match: Jake Solan vs The Masked Prefect Land Mass & Mammoth vs Condor & Canadian Dragon Dirty Frank vs Battering Lamb New title belt ideas: 1. The Maple Leaf Championship - A variant for a 'Canadian' or other region-specific named strap. Adds a whole heap of patriotism and is freeing enough to go in any direction if desired, be it Hardcore, Pure Wrestling focused, or even more gimmicky such as it can only be won by Canadians if desired. The title belt's design is obviously a giant maple leaf. 2. A Six-Man/Trios Championship - I don't think this is really a thing outside of Mexico, especially for the time period, but it would instantly add gravitas to faction warfare if you chose to go down that route. 3. The DeColt Gold - A championship to honour Canadian wrestling's greatest family, if this championship is held by anyone outside of the famous family, then only members of the DeColts can challenge for it. (Okay initially this was to be submitted as a joke, but it could be a heat magnet if any/all of the DeColts are egotistical heels, and could serve for family feuds down the road.)

British Omega Wrestling Night Of Wrestling #8 Wednesday Week 4 March 2020 London, Southern England The BOW broadcast team: Martin Bloydell, Melanie Florence and Jackie Goldstein. Martin Bloydell: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to BOW! We're going to head straight to the backstage area, where we're told the Three Lions have a message just moments before Nate Manchester's match. Martin Heath: After a rough night for us at For Whom The Bell Tolls, Royal Air Force is back. And we’re here with our boy Nate Manchester, and he’s looking to pick up where he left off and get back to what he deserves, a shot at the BOW World Championship. Jon Michael Sharp: And much like Manchester and Stoat, things aren’t finished between us and The Assassins’ Guild. Peyton, Raynor, you had to cheat to beat us, and that’s just the latest in a long list of wrongs that the three of us must right. Because lions don’t forget, and lions don’t forgive. Nate Manchester: Lions hunt. Match One: Colin Picalo vs Nate Manchester w/Royal Air Force In a match that surprised many in attendance with how good it turned out to be, Nate Manchester and Colin Picalo showed excellent chemistry as they took to the ring for the show’s opening contest. Giving the pair an entire ten-minute slot to work the crowd certainly paid dividends, getting the crowd pumped for the action to come. Despite putting on a much stronger showing than many expected, Colin Picalo was unable to kick out following Nate Manchester’s Manc-Sault. Winner by pinfall: Nate Manchester With her BOW Women’s Championship belt proudly on display, Thea Davis makes her way to the ring, where she speaks into a microphone after the fans cheering dies down. Thea Davis: Last week in the battle of the Red Queens, it was the real Red Queen who emerged victorious to stay your British Omega Wrestling Women’s World Champion. And I want to take nothing away from my dance partner last week. K.T. Devonshire you may have an attitude problem, but you’re one hell of a competitor and I can see World titles in your future. As I’ve said before you’re a fine talent who reminds me of myself when I was first breaking into this business. In fact, one of the similarities between us is that we both had to travel the world to get our opportunities in this business. In fact, that’s true for every woman on this roster. Before BOW there was no opportunity for women to wrestle here in Britain. But now there is, and as the BOW Women’s Champion, I feel as though it’s my duty to pay the favour back and turn these Great British shores into the land of opportunity for female wrestlers across the world. Which is why I am issuing an open challenge for this BOW Women’s Championship. Next week on Night Of Wrestling I will defend this title belt against any woman from across the globe. Melanie Florence: A huge announcement from Thea Davis! Next week the BOW Women’s Championship is on the line in an open challenge! Who is going to step up and face the champ?! Match Two: Steffi Chee vs Karen Bilous For the second time in BOW, Steffi Chee faced the monumental task of trying to best “The Pain From The Ukraine” Karen Bilous. To call the eight-minute match a ‘contest’ would be generous, with Bilous dominating the entire proceeding, only to grow in frustration at her inability to put away the resilient Chee. Then, in the final moments, Chee shocked everyone, herself included, when her sneaky attempt at a roll up resulted in her scoring the upset win. Winner by pinfall: Steffi Chee. Pavel Vanzycha and Nigel Svensson make their way to the ring accompanied by their executive consultant Fink Finkleton, who wields his weapon of choice, a microphone. Fink Finkleton: When my sophisticated eye saw something in pairing up these two fine gentlemen, few outside of the three of us could imagine how fruitful this partnership would be. I can’t say I’m surprised though; few men have such a refined ability for identifying talent as I. One example of such inferior scouting capabilities is the current embarrassment of a CEO Dunton Hall, as evidenced by the atrocity of a tournament we were forced to endure for the BOW Tag Team Championships. Do not be mistaken, The Shooters are above average wrestlers, but given the quality of this roster, or rather lack thereof, the average isn’t exactly a high standard to beat. Now, it would have been a different story had Vanzycha & Svensson been in the tournament. In fact, Billy and Don, you both know that if you had come up against my two men, they would have wiped the floor with you. Which is why, not only am I challenging you both to defend your titles against Vanzycha & Svensson at Madness, but I’m proposing a singles series between now and that event. One of you versus one of them, every week. Because as much as you love professional wrestling, you’re just not as good at it as these two men. Drawn out by the challenge, The Shooters make their way to the ring. Don Henderson: Alright Fink, alright. Enough already. You’re doin’ ma head in wi’ all ya chatter. I don’t know why you’re claiming to be such a visionary, anyone wi’ two braincells could see they’d make a great wee tag team the gether. Lucky for you, they’ve no got two braincells between ‘em, or they’d ditch you and stop paying your commission. Billy Robinson: But you’re right about one thing. For everything they lack upstairs, you two goons are tremendous wrestlers. And as Don and I keep saying, we love wrestling, and we want to be pushed to be our very best in this ring. So we accept your challenge. And Nigel, considering you and I have history together in Japan, why don’t we be the ones to kick off this singles series next week? Martin Bloydell: It’s official. The Shooters will defend their BOW Tag Team Championships against Vanzycha & Svensson at Madness. And what a series of matches we’re going to be treated to in the build up to that event! Match Three: BOW Honour Championship Match: Jason Dempsey vs Lenny Mochin (C) Jason Dempsey brought a valiant effort in his attempt to wrest the Honour Championship from the clutches of Lenny Mochin, who himself was looking to make his first successful title defence after winning the belt at For Whom The Bell Tolls. The match served well to further amp up the energised crowd, and at just seconds shy of lasting thirteen-minutes, it was a great first showcase for the title belt. Jason Dempsey thought he had things won when he landed his Face Waffle sit-out pedigree finisher on Mochin, but the champion avoided pinfall by falling out of the ring. As the referee began to count out the champion, Dempsey was struck from behind by JK Lee, leaving the challenger at the mercy of Mochin, who returned to the ring to deliver his Eye Of The Storm butterfly powerbomb to retain. Winner by pinfall and still BOW Honour Champion: Lenny Mochin Nicole Phillips is in the interview area with Steph Blake stood beside her. Nicole Phillips: I’m stood here with Steph Blake who arrived in BOW last week by assaulting Aud Valkyrie during her match with Viper McKenna. Steph, you’re just moments away from your debut against Jeri Behr, but before that, everybody wants to know, why have you come to BOW? Steph Blake: To hurt women. Blake strides away. Match Four: Jeri Behr vs Steph Blake And hurt a woman she did. In less than three and a half minutes, Steph Blake wiped the ring mat with Jeri Behr, violently assaulting her before mercifully ending the supposed contest with her Slingshot DDT finisher. Winner by pinfall: Steph Blake From out of nowhere, Aud Valkyrie flies across the ring and crashes into Blake, tackling her to the floor before laying several fists into the woman who attacked her last week. The brawl spills out to the ringside area, where neither woman can take full control until Valkyrie pushes Blake into the steel steps. With Blake left reeling, Valkyrie looks under the ring for plunder to help her in this unsanctioned fight. The first item she comes across is a table, which she dutifully retrieves to the cheers of the crowd. Valkyrie sets the table up, and after another brief scuffle, manages to smash Blake through the table with a belly-to-belly suplex. Match Five: Magnus Cage, Merle O'Curle and Michael Gregory vs Gram Gorman, Konrad Makinen and Padraig O'Hearne Six men fought for the opportunity to progress to a three-way match next week, where the new number one contender for the BOW Honour Championship will be determined. Each man in this match showed the desire to come out on top, and it really helped to sell the importance of the title moving forward. Given a little over twelve-minutes to run, this bout was a great showing for everyone involved. It came to a conclusion in typical trios match fashion as each man was hit by a signature move to whittle down the field until the two legal men were left standing. Those two men were Merle O’Curle and Padraig O’Hearne, and it was the latter who scored the win after countering O’Curle’s Celtic Wreath submission into his own Crowning Glory finisher. Winners via pinfall: Padraig O’Hearne, Gram Gorman and Konrad Makinen. Dunton Hall is sat backstage in his office. Dunton Hall: Ladies and gentlemen, over these last few months BOW has taken the wrestling world by storm. We have housed some tremendous moments in such a short time, and I am confident that we will be treated to many, many more. Among those moments have been some memorable hardcore matches, and you, the fans, have really responded to them. Which is why I have decided to introduce a new championship to the British Omega Wrestling family. At the upcoming Madness event, like on Saturday Week 4 April, the first ever BOW Hardcore Champion will be crowned. And it will be fought for in a 10-man ‘House Of Madness’ battle royal. This battle royal will be like no other. Eliminations will occur via pinfall or submission, and they can occur not just in the ring, but across the entire arena. Hardcore rules will be in effect, with weapons surrounding the ring to actively encourage madness to ensue. Match Six: Clubber Kohl w/ Eva Berlin vs Stuart Wilson The unstoppable force collided with the immovable object in a wild brawl as Kohl and Wilson battered each other for almost eight-minutes. Both men went into this match as two of the most menacing men on the BOW roster, and this match did nothing to hinder that perception. Things came to an end when Kohl showed an impeccable display of strength to lift Stuart Wilson and slam him, spine on the pine, with his Hamburg Express. Winner by pinfall: Clubber Kohl Nicole Phillips is in the interview area with Walker van Cleer by her side. Nicole Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m being joined right now by Walker van Cleer. Walker at For Whom The Bell Tolls you stopped Landon Mallory from winning the BOW World Championship, and then last week you left the ring before explaining yourself. So will you tell us now, why did you attack Landon Mallory? Walker van Cleer looks like he’s about to respond, but instead shakes his head and simply walks away. Melanie Florence: Walker van Cleer is still refusing to discuss his attack on Landon Mallory. Jackie Goldstein: And I bet no-one wants answers more than Mallory himself. Martin Bloydell: That’s for sure Jackie, and speaking of Landon, he will return to BOW next week in action when he faces Dangermouth one on one! Match Seven: The Northern Lights w/ Mo Adebola and Dangermouth vs The X Force Tag team wrestling continues to be the unsung hero of British Omega Wrestling, as both The Northern Lights and The X Force put on a barnburner of a match that must top the charts as the promotion’s best contest to date. The eleven-minute bout flew by for the buzzing crowd, who would have easily eaten up a further eleven-minutes from these two teams if given the chance. There was a lot of tension aplenty in this one, near falls and dramatic rope breaks enhancing the story of The X Force looking to right the wrongs of their opponents with a victory. Sadly for the duo that was not to be, as a distraction from Mo Adebola at ringside paved the way for Dangermouth to land chain-wrapped fist on the skull of Jase Cole, leaving him at the mercy of a Lights Out from The Northern Lights, with Alton Vicious making the pin. Winners via pinfall: The Northern Lights. After the bell the dangerous trio of Danger Zone continue to assault The X Force right up until the music of Future X hits. Eric Future and Petey Barnes charge to the ring, sending Danger Zone into retreat. With Christopher Lister and Jase Cole slowly beginning to stir, both members of The X Force extend their hands to the Future X duo as a show of solidarity. Barnes and Future look down at the offering simultaneously, and both turn their backs, departing the ring in a move that shows there’s still tension between the babyface teams. Match Eight: BOW World Championship: Hardcore Match: Matthew Macks vs Stevie Stoat (C) With the fans in attendance sufficiently amped up throughout the night, it was time for Matthew Macks to embark on undoubtedly the biggest match of his career, as he looked to score the upset of a lifetime and win the BOW World Championship from the grizzled, double-tough veteran Stevie Stoat. With hardcore rules that made the underdog challenger feel right at home, the rules were thrown out the window in this absolute mayhem of a ten-minute match. From table breaks, to ladder dives, to wild chair swings, nothing was holding Macks back from putting on the performance of a lifetime. The use of other hardcore-match staples such as stop signs, metal dustbins and Singapore canes also gave an example of the future of BOW given Dunton Hall’s announcement of a new Hardcore Championship earlier in the night. Of course, with such lawlessness in place for this contest, it was a given that Stevie Stoat’s stooges The Assassins’ Guild would show up at some point to aide their leader. Unfortunately for them, what they didn’t anticipate was the arrival of Royal Air Force and Nate Manchester as a cavalry for The Irish Daredevil. As both factions fought their way back up the ramp, Macks lived up to his nickname by diving from the top of the entrance stage set onto all the Three Lions and Assassins’ Guild men. He scrambled back to the ring, seeing his name in lights and knowing this was his chance to claim the top prize in BOW. He waited, stalking Stoat as the champion made groggily rose to his feet, looking to lock in his Red Lightning reverse DDT finisher. But seconds before he could lock Stoat’s head in place, Macks was sent wailing to the floor with the loud crack of a steel chair across his spine. The returning Night Spyder continued to assault Macks with the chair, each blow condemning the fans into the realisation that this was not to be Matthew Macks’ night. Spyder lifted the unresponsive Macks up, and held him by his hair as a sacrifice to Stevie Stoat, who dutifully obliged with a Super Kick to end the contest and break the fans hearts. Winner by pinfall and still BOW World Champion: Stevie Stoat. With the ring cleared of all other men, Stevie Stoat holds his World Championship aloft stone-faced as he is drowned in the jeers of the crowd. Suddenly his theme music cuts in favour of another. Stoat turns to the entrance stage, where he is met by the intimidating sight of Clubber Kohl marching down the ramp accompanied by the equally laser-focused Eva Berlin. The two intimidating Germans climb through the ropes and head straight towards Stoat, who stands his ground to save face. The two men are both unflinching as they stand nose to nose, but just as the show is about to end transmission, Kohl’s neck cranks as his glare finds a new subject; the BOW World Championship now resting over the shoulder of Stevie Stoat.

Almost a clean sweep for you last time out @KyTeran - Steph Blake cost you a perfect round! @Charasmatic Enigma The Assassins' Guild were actually very on form in their title shot, just not good enough to beat the champions! Whether or not Stevie will see it that way is another matter. @Wrestling Machine Unfortunately for you a pair of aces wasn't a strong enough hand and let you down on scoring a clean sweep. They haven't really hit their stride in BOW quite yet, but they have a lot of upside to them and would be a staple of the tag team division with a couple of wins behind them. I've already commented on the puns so I'll leave them alone for now @willr0ck - but again, another person who would have taken home all the spoils had it not been for Steph Blake!
