This is until the camera is in arms reach, when Romeo grabs the camera with both hands to say, Derrick Romeo: It has to be me, I’m the only one who can stop Core. Why? Because I’m the only fit member of that locker room who can not only match, but exceed the dark and twisted place you need to go to hurt another competitor like Core did. So, I can only apologies for the punishment I’m going to inflict onto our champion this weekend, as I need to get my hands on that World Championship (70).

Opening Backstage Angle: In Kali’s truck on the way to the venue, Ebi Kadivar reads out the names on his list. He talks through the difference between the other wrestlers, who obviously deserved to be added to it, and the injustice of his name being at the bottom. Kali Azar: I know Ebi, but I also know the best way to prove everyone wrong. Beat them all, one by one, that’ll teach them! Ebi’s gaze averts to the sunrise, stealing glances in the most obvious way possible, as the two continue on their way to the show (60). Match 1: Aaron Price vs Seth Vanderdyne Match Details: A strong open sees the US Champion in non-title action, showcasing his solid all round game to take care of Vanderdyne.

In Ring Angle: Sharif Awar is out talk coming up short in his number 1 contender match. Sharif Awar: However, the fire that burns in my chest, willing me to keep moving forward will continue to burn, until I’m the next contender and then conqueror of the AWF Champion! Jonah Huntley takes exception, storming up to him grabbing a mic, to vent about his and AWF’s locker-room attitude, tying it to Ebi Kadivar, who is still seeking to give some payback to (89). Match 2: DZ Jenkins vs The Modfather Match Details: DZ makes short work of The Modfather, who’s “Ummm actually” complaints of the referees technique to count the pinfall, fall on deaf ears. DZ Jenkins (53) defeated The Modfather (40) in 4:37 by pinfall with an Freakin’ Brilliance (41) In Ring Angle: Emma Moore enters the ring to interview the victor DZ Jenkins Emma Moore: Nice victory DZ, you requested some time, what was it you wanted to say. DZ Jenkins: Stacks Armstrong, television champion, ducks appearing on TV to get the first match before the show starts, so that he can skive off early onto the next town, embarrassing! After everything I’ve done to defend that belt, night in, night out. I’m calling you out to actually come compete next week on TV against DZ, champ (50). Backstage Angle: Ieshia’s on her phone in her office, before raising her neck all the way up to meet the giant Ankur! Ankur the Great: I grow impatient Ieshia. Overlooked again and again, yet we make time for some like Lynn. Things better change or any blood spilled will be on your hand. Ieshia’s gaze stays strong, with one eye squinting slightly as if assessing Ankur’s words, as Ankur leaves (70). Backstage Angle: Amy Ladner is seen cornered by Jonah Huntley. A shocked gasp is met with hands over the mouth. Jonah Huntley: Get over yourself and listen, mmkay, where is Kali? Amy shrugs leading Jonah to back off and huff Jonah Huntley: How do you not know where your partner is, call yourself a leader… After gasping to recover her breath, Amy Ladner: Why are you even bothered about where Kali is? Jonah Huntley: Obviously where she goes, he goes, anyways I gotta go, Huntley stomps off as Amy readjusts the Starlights title on her shoulder and moves on (70). Match 3: Atlas Lynn vs Prince Kamehameha vs Mystery Masked Wrestler Match Details: Intrigue about the mysterious attacker continues, as obviously Ieshia wants the two to compete, as we see one of them in a chaotic three way battle with Atlas Lynn & Prince Kamehameha. Prince and Lynn were overshadowed in intrigue and wrestling ability, which only added to the spotlight placed on the mysterious wrestler, who’s sneaky pin and escape through the crowd, leaves more questions than answers. Mystery Masked Wrestler (47) defeated Prince Kamehameha (32) & Atlas Lynn (40) in 8:51 when the Mystery Masked Wrestler pinned Prince Kamehameha with a schoolboy quick rollup (42). Backstage Angle: Starlets competition is up next, as we see Ebi Kadivar make his way out through the curtain to watch (47). Kyle Howard: Even with Ebi being on the run tonight, he still managed to make time to watch Kali’s match, you have to give him credit! Kitty Reardon: Yes, compared to his actions over the last few months, you have to respect the thought. Kyle Howard: Maybe being added to that List of his was the best thing that’s happened to him in a while Kitty Reardon: That or he’s prepping for the U.S tennis open! His head is on a swivel, pinging back and forth between the entrance way and Kali’s …. Lets say knees … anyways this contest is underway! Match 4: Mean Girls (Kali Azar & Teri Szatkowski) w/ Ebi Kadivar vs Kimberly Knight & Erin Scott Match Details: Ebi didn’t play a part in the contest, but we did see some nice tandem chemistry over on the mean girls side. The bright lights must have gotten to Kimberly & Erin, as a few miscommunications and an obvious mistake with Kimberly not quite in place to catch Erin properly, after Teri launched her, leading to a disappointing outing. Ultimately this was mercifully ended by a French Kiss from Kali. Mean Girls [Kali Azar (39) & Teri Szatkowski (30) ] defeated Kimberly Knight (32) & Erin Scott (36) in 7:51 when Kali Azar pinned Kimberly Knight with a French Kiss (35). In Ring Angle: Coming back from commercial break, the lights flicker and Core appears! Core: There is no greater feeling like than the sound of crunching bones, ruptures within organs and childish nativity destroyed before your very eyes. Romeo is the classic example of a mere mortal without a slither of understanding of what it means to be a dominant ruler. Therefore, for the entirety of AWF, it will be my honour to obliterate your hero at No Love Lost (76). Hype Video: A hype package spotlights our main event - Martial vs Frye! High stakes as the Winner moves in line for a future World Title challenge (55). Main Event: The Fyre vs Tyshawn Martial Match Details: Tyshawn’s brawling and forceful technique is still adapting to squared circle, as The Fyre took some stiff shots throughout this main event. One knee in particular which was supposed to bounce him off the ring post, landed with a tad too much conviction. Leading to Fryre bouncing off the ring post, then dropping awkwardly into the ring steps. Tyshawn not experienced moved away, before Frye yelled at him to finish this off, allowing Martial to roll him into the ring and pin him. Fryre expertly manoeuvred his head to show off the cut just above his eye for the cameras, but he laid flat back clutching his back, as medical personal are rushed into the ring, hinting at the secondary impact causing more damage then he was initially willing to divulge. Tyshawn Martial (71) defeated The Fyre (57) in 14:41 by pinfall with an Muay Thai Knee (46). In Ring Show Closing Angle: Both wrestlers stagger to opposite corner to receive treatment and support, when Ebi Kadivar comes out, with microphone in hand, to challenges both guys. Ebi Kadivar: You know what, I’ve had enough of running away and hiding, like I’ve been missing from opportunities at the very top of this company.... Whilst Ebi is ranting, Martial seems unamused, whilst The Fyre is still receiving treatment. Jonah Huntley blindsides Ebi before he can go any further! Ebi jumps out of his skin before trying to hightail it! Huntley gets his hands on him and the two brawl to the back to end the show! (57). Final Show rating (61) Show Notes - Its good to be back but its brutal to see that main event score dinged so much due to injury! 39 days out for a L4/L5 Disc Herniation. Sounds like one of those injuries that should be career ending but TEW is like ahh 6 days working through! - Huntley & Awar's 89 angle was huge! surely one of those fight forever feuds you'd want to keep going back to!

You better hope I don’t find you tonight, because I promise you’ll end up far worse than anyone who has been added to your list, mmkay! (71) Match 1: Big 'n' Nasty vs Creature Preacher and The Modfather Match Details: Big ‘N’ Nasty proved that they really are big and in fact nasty, as they completely dominated this match from start to finish, With Tyrannus doing 90% of the heavy lifting. Big 'n' Nasty defeated Creature Preacher and The Modfather in 2:40 when Tyrannus pinned The Modfather with a Tyrant Bomb (41) In Ring Angle: Stacks Armstrong: Standing before you is your new AWF Television champion! In order to ensure I become the greatest, longest reigning Television Champion of all time; I’m introducing tonight the TV Open … application! This will ensure I can make the most money for the least amount of work, as a prized fighter you are lucky to have! Playing with the crowd by mocking the open challenge contest, under his reign, challengers will have to prove to him in the ring or on the mic to be granted a TV title shot. Even after seeing Tyrannus dominate most of the match, out of the 2 victors Armstrong selects Nasty G as his first challenger for next week! (52) Backstage Angle: Kali Azar: Hey Ebi, don’t worry about what happened on Sunday, use this as a chance to prove all these losers wrong for forcing you to be ... A frustrated noise cuts Kali off before she can finish, but she does look genuinely concerned Ebi leaves as he hears MGC approach, with Amy Ladner standing in front and ranting about her struggles to get rid of Alexis James out of her division. Amy Ladner: Urgh, why can’t the Starlight’s division take our advice and look towards us instead of Aleixs, I mean look at us, As MGC leave to support Kali in her match coming up next, Amy whines to no avail to have both of them hang out in the back with her. As soon as the 3 women leave, the light flickers, before Amy turns straight into a Tapanga attack (51) Match 2: Erin Scott vs Kali Azar Match Details: Oblivious to their leader’s distress, Kali is able to defeat Erin in a far more competitive affair then people expect. As a result, MGC leave the ring fairly quickly post three count. Kali Azar defeated Erin Scott in 12:26 by submission with a French Kiss (31) Backstage Angle: Emma Moore interviews Riley Johansen who reluctantly admits that Jesse Mills proved his toughness, although he was unprepared to be snuck up on in the back which completely threw him off his game. Riley Johansen: Whilst he did get the best of me, it was an unofficial win, as ultimately, we failed to make it to the ring, and as such, as a full blooded American, we can write this one off and look ahead to the future (50) In Ring Angle: Derrick Romeo makes his way to the ring, confused why Ieshia and Tyshawn Martial are out their waiting for him. Ieshia: Thanks for coming out here Derrick and congratulations on the victory last week. However, as Tyshawn defeated Ebi Kadivar last week and has been on an undefeated rise up the division, if Tyshawn beats Derrick tonight, the title match becomes a triple threat! Kyle Howard: Well, there we have it folks, high stakes added to our main event, as the Tyshawn Martial requires a victory over Derrick Romeo, to be inserted into the next World Title defence! Kitty Reardon: Always raising the stakes, Ieshia has given Tyshawn an opportunity to throw a spanner into the works for both our champion Core and his number 1 contender Derrick Romeo! (66) Match 3: Max Rubble and Prince Kamehameha vs ALPHA (Non-Title Match) Match Details: The tag champs make light work of their enhancement opponents, running through the motions like the well-oiled machine they are.

The Devastators want to test if these newcomers belong and if they still belong (57) Backstage Angle: Martial explains why he's here in AWF. After Atlas Lynn confronts him for not having his back last week. Tyshawn Martial: Look, Lynn rather than playing the “Nice guy”, I’m here for gold, I’m here to showcase my championship pedigree and whilst I’ve appreciated your support up till now, I think you need to think about putting yourself into higher places up the card.

Match 1: World Tag Team Title’s – Third Defence: The Devastators (Juggernaut & Monstrosity) vs ALFA (DeSean Royal & Hunter Wolfe) (C) Match Details: Two industry leading teams put on a absolute clinic in hard hitting tag team action. Ebbing and flowing with neither team taking control of large parts of the match, helped to deliver an exciting contest. Desean Royal getting the hot tag whipped the crowd up into a frenzy, as Juggernaut was ultimately knocked off the apron, whereas Monstrosity was taken off his feet, after Hunter drop toeholds him, into a huge ponce from Royal!

Match 2: Ankur the Great vs Tyshawn Martial w/ Atlas Lynn Match Details: In a huge match Martial is able to show his intelligence as a fighter, recognising that getting the fight down to the ground will allow him to takeover. An exhausted Ankur is visibly taken aback at Tyshawn’s strategy outdoing his power. The finishing Muay Thai Knee staggers the big giant, until his 7 foot 8 inch frame rocks back, slowly at first, then a monumental second impact sends the giant into the mat with a huge thud! 1,2,3 and that’s all she wrote! Tyshawn Martial defeated Ankur the Great in 5:54 by pinfall with a Muay Thai Knee (59). Kyle Howard: With Atlas helping up Tyshawn up, was it just me, or was there a flash of jealousy in Lynn’s eye? Kitty Reardon: Always a possibility, as it is a ruthless business! Lynn ultimately has to have respected Martials dominant performance, as something to emulate, leading to the young man showing respect to the dominant Martial. Match 3: Alice Harrison, Erin Scott & AJ Paris vs Mean Girls Club (Kali Azar, Jenn Powalski and Teri Szatkowski) Match Details: Encouraged by her teammates to open the contest, Scott is able to hold her own for a short while, before MGC gain the upper hand. A brief exchange between Alice & Kali, brought excitement from the crowd and a quick tag out from Kali, allowing Alice to hit her Shining Spirit a few minutes later, kicking off her AWF PPV debut with a win. Alice Harrison, Erin Scott & AJ Paris defeated Kali Azar, Jenn Powalski and Teri Szatkowski in 9:53 by pinfall when Alice Harrison pinned Teri Szatkowski with a Shining Spirit (42). Backstage Angle: Surprise drop in appearance from Johnny Valleau who checks in on Ieshia, who was busy assuring James that Mean Girls Club won’t interfere Ieshia: Yes I appreciate the other members of MGC will be worked up after that loss, but I assure you Alexis, Amy has given her word that they won’t get in the way of your title match Johnny Valleau: There she is! How is my golden girl! … Oh and Miss Funk, How are your merch sales doing in bringing in those sweet gains? Ieshia: Lex, go prep for your match, don’t let anything distract you … Hello Jonathan, what do you want? everything is under control Johnny Valleau: Nothing, nothing, just popping in to see my favourites, and to pitch that these shows need more deserts thrown in peoples faces, to make more memorable moments! Ieshia: Right we’ll think about that, but for now I’ve got to check in with MGC to get their word they won’t ruin tonights Starlights defence, and check Jonah Huntley & Ebi Kadivar are still cooperating, just stay out of trouble and let me handle things, as I assure you everything is under control … (61). Match 4: Jesse Mills vs Riley Johansen (Parking lot brawl) Match Details: Mills jumps Johansen in the back spilling from locker room to carpark, as both competitors were able to use the weapons around them to great effect. Trapping Johannsen in knots on Johnny Valleau‘s shiny car, Riley can take no more, slapping his hand down on the bonnet, signalling the end, before rolling off and escaping a satisfied Mills. Jesse Mills defeated Riley Johannsen in 13:53 when Riley Johannsen tapped out (41). Backstage Angle: Peacekeeper once again is booted out of a promo backstage, as Stacks Armstrong takes the mic to say: Stacks Armstrong: The fact I have to prove myself before challenging for a title is laughable considering the absolute star that I am. Gold, Lemaître, stand in my way and I’ll make you the star performer in your own American Horror Story He then walks through the curtain for a triple threat number 1 contendership for a tv title opportunity (45). Match 5: Black Gold vs Eddy Lemaître vs Stacks Armstrong Match Details: Whilst each competitor was able to shine, with all 3 competitors facing off against each other throughout the match, rather than any alliances forming. Stacks rolling out and letting Gold & Lemaître battle was ultimately a smart decision, as Stack’s stiff shots were too hot to handle, once the brawler cleared house. An American Horror Story finisher on Black Gold, after dumping Lemaître over the top rope, allowing him to progress towards the TV Title. Stacks Armstrong defeated Black Gold and Eddy Lemaitre in 9:46 when Stacks Armstrong pinned Black Gold with an American Horror Story (32). Backstage Angle: Jonah Huntley approaches Ebi Kadivar backstage to discuss tonight’s game plan in their upcoming tag team match against Derrick Romeo & Sharif Awar: Jonah Huntley: Listen up Kaddy! Tonight, you need to follow my lead in order to succeed, as already in my short time here, I’ve proven that my intelligence is far superior than the entire roster, do you understand? Ebi Kadivar: Yes, yes, lots of words, little in ring proof to back it up, prime candidate to move up and sit at the top of my list Jonah Huntley: Urgh, just follow my lead, win the match, then we can go our separate ways (68). Match 6: Derrick Romeo & Sharif Awar vs Jonah Huntley & Ebi Kadivar Match Details: The difference between respect and animosity is clear as Ebi & Jonah simply got in the way of success. Two evenly matched sides put on a spectacle thanks to Huntley & Ebi stealing the spotlight, alongside Awar & Romeo putting over there opponents brilliantly, by selling brutal individual moments of brilliance. Romeo expertly cut the ring in half at times, to allow Awar to either recover from a beatdown, or utilize his explosive power to take this match away from Ebi & Jonah. Derrick Romeo & Sharif Awar defeated Jonah Huntley & Ebi Kadivar in 16:31 when Derrick Romeo pinned Ebi Kadivar with a Tigerbuster (73). Match 7: Starlights Title – 7th Defence: Alexis James vs Amy Ladner (c) Match Details: These two rivals proved exactly why the Starlets division is lead by the opposing leaders. Back and forth action alongside the near 10 years each of experience allowed them to call back to key moments in their stories over the year. As the action ramped up perfectly, into a dramatic ending, Alexis survived the MGC chicanery to keep in the fight for as long as she could, before the athleticism and beat downs took their tole, allowing Ladner to retain her title for the seventh time. Amy Ladner defeated Alexis James in 18:46 by pinfall with a Dance till you drop. Amy Ladner makes defence number 7 of the AWF Starlights title (46). In Ring Angle: As Alexis James recovers on the mat, the arena darkens in stages until the lights go out. On the titontron, we see the eyes of Tapanga (Think Rey Mysterio’s entrance video IRL) light up alongside an eerie laughter, as a terrified Amy Ladner runs up the ramp and into the back clutching her title (44). Match 8: United States Title match – 2nd Defence: N8 Omega vs Wilson Hancock vs Aaron Price (c) Match Details: The two on one handicap was immediately established with Price immediately on the back foot. The turning point of the match came when N8 Omega got too cocky for his own good, thinking he can handle the champion on his own. Therefore, he dumped Hancock out of the ring, allowing Price to recover enough to Irish whip Omega to the corner, before raining down strikes. Ultimately the United States title stayed with Aaron Price, as after finishers are hit by all, leaving all three bodies on the mat, Price is able to stagger to Omega and deliver a Pay your Price to retain. Aaron Price defeated N8 Omega and Wilson Hancock in 17:49 when Aaron Price pinned N8 Omega with a Pay your Price. Aaron Price makes defence number 2 of the AWF United States Title (54).

Match Details: Lance explodes out of the gate, recognising the threat that Core poses, with kicks and punches keeping his distance between Core. The falcon arrow powered out at a 1 count further set the tone for what is to come. Core slowly worked his way into control of the match, with Lance at times clinging on to keep his title hopes alive by the skin of his teeth. In the end it was the 6’11 Demon who was able to wear his challenger down and retain his belt for the third time. Core defeated Daryl Lance in 21:58 by pinfall with a Korah’s Parable. Core makes defence number 3 of the AWF World Title (64). Post Match Angle: Core backs away as Daryl Lance is tended to by his manager Cheerleader Brittany (68).

We haven't 100% agreed on a prize, but we'll think about it! Including the preshow was harsh as its a 50/50, The Huntley / Ebi shout, makes a lot of sense now you say it! I guess with Core staying on top the faces moving up to challenge was the short sighted reason we chose them. Then long term Huntley not clicking with Ebi given his attitude will pay off soon AWF New Year, No Limits 2021 KyTeran 7/10 AboardTheArk 6/10 SomeLazyMagic 6/9

AWF Retribution 42 Date: Tuesday, Week 3, January 2021 Attendance: 2,511 People Pre-show Angle: Highrollers hype up crowd (59) Pre-show Match: Otis defeated General Mayhem and Seth Vanderdyne (46) In Ring Opening Angle: Kyle Howard: It’s Wednesday Night, the time is right for some AWF Retribution, I’m Kyle Howard joined by Kitty Reardon. Last week saw not only the debut of two brand new talents, but the establishment of a new number one contender to the world heavyweight champion in Daryl Lance. Kitty how do you see the landscape changing now? Kitty Reardon: The whole roster has been put on notice, as we’ve seen how skilled Martial is in the octagon, Alice Harrison returns looking to prove a point, and Daryl becomes the latest contender to face the daunting task of attempting to knock Core off his spot at the top of the company. Kyle Howard: It’s exciting times for fans of AWF, but the roster will have to dig even deeper to progress towards title glory, speaking of which, Jonah Huntley is here to address coming up short last week. Retribution kicks off this week with Jonah Huntley. He addresses last week’s loss in the main event for a world title challenge, Ebi Kadivar adding him to the list, lastly Derrick Romeo being the bane of his life. Jonah Huntley: Wasting time and energy, kindly explaining to Ebi why he was obviously wrong, and I am always right, cost me of my focus and my chance to jump straight to the front of the que! I’ll get back to that loudmouth Derrick Romeo later, but for tonight my focus will be on showcasing why the Huntley way is the right way (77). Match 1: AJ Paris and Alice Harrison vs The Mean Girls Club (Jenn Powalski and Teri Szatkowski) Match Details: This match was a nice showcase for AWF’s newest Starlight Alice Harrison, who raised everyone’s level on the way to a nice debut victory for her side.

AJ Paris is held back and attacked by Jenn & Teri, leaving both AJ & Alice, broken in the middle of the ring (47) Backstage Angle: Daryl Lance, with his manager Cheerleader Brittany are both approached by Merengue and his manager Marco Couture. Merengue: Well, well, well… Merengue quickly turns to his manager: Marco quit dancing, this is not the time! Turning back to Lance to express his sincere concerns that the All American simply doesn’t has what it takes to handle the spotlight, Lance returns with: Daryl Lance: What’s crazy is ever since I walked through the door here in AWF, people have been telling I’m just not ready, but every single time a question is asked of me, I knock it straight out of the park! So forgive me for not believing you for a second, and I can’t wait to prove you wrong later tonight. The Main event for tonight is set, Lance vs Merengue one on one! (53) Entranceway Angle: Making his way to the ring Sharif Awar feels refreshed ahead of the new year, ready to kick off his year in the right way, as his opponent Creature Preacher prowls in the ring (47) Match 2: Sharif Awar vs Creature Preacher Match Details: Quick squash match allowed fans to get reacquainted with Awar, whose signature offense just oozes charisma, until he put Preacher away with a Finishing move dubbed “Night Night” Sharif Awar defeats Creature Preacher in 2:58 by pinfall with a Night Night (47) Backstage Angle: Ieshia is directing traffic backstage when she is jump scared by Alexis James putting an arm round her, Alexis James: Hey! How its going you? Congrats on the new role! I’m hoping you still able to look after each division all ok, because let me tell you about Amy and her sheep! Ieshia agrees a sit-down interview would be the best way to air their grievances before the PPV (68). Backstage Angle: Erin Scott checks in on Black Gold lifting weights. Before he can respond to Erin, Stacks Armstrong comes in to argue. Stacks Armstrong: Oi! Hurry up, drop that pin down 4 rows for me, them beat it. I don’t have time for little miss feelings over there to get in the way of a real man at work. Eddy Lemaître: Hey big man, quit running your mouth and meet me in the ring, your attitude is stinking up the lockerroom, come prove yourself in the ring. A match between Lemaître & Armstrong is happening next! (43) Match 3: Eddy Lemaître vs Stacks Armstrong Match Details: With minimal offense, Eddy hung in the match for as long as he could, before Stack’s power and Brawling ring style overwhelmed the young Belgian, as Stacks picks up the win. Stacks Armstrong defeated Eddy Lemaître in 6:33 by pinfall with an American Horror Story (29). Backstage Angle: Before Peacekeeper can get a word out, he is booted in the midsection then discarded out of shot by Ankur. The Indian giant bemoans opening the show last week, instead of qualifying for a world title match, he goes on to also complain about the new signings, especially Martial until Atlas Lynn overhears and confronts. Ankur the Great: Imagine having a giant Indian sensation on your roster, and you feel the need to go out and sign others to try and toughen up the roster, Tyshawn couldn’t stand a chance against me. Atlas Lynn: Ahh there he is, stealing tv time to moan about other more talented recruits passing him by. Ankur leans in close to whisper: I’d be very careful who you are talking to little man, especially without anyone covering your back (46). Backstage Angle: Riley Johansen overhears something in the locker room, he then stumbles into Jesse Mills cracking open a can. Riley Johansen: How on earth are your going to make it as an elite AWF superstar, when you’re drinking away your future, being unbelievably unprofessional in our ... Mills cracks the can of pop over his Riley’s head, before pointing at the soft drink crate, leaving a spluttering Johansen less than impressed (57). Match 4: Jonah Huntley & Ebi Kadivar vs Big ‘n’ Nasty Match Details: After Huntley took control of the early goings against Nasty G, he “kindly” tags out to let Ebi deal with huge Tyrannus. After wearing Tyrannus out then picking apart Nasty G, Huntley hits the StarMaker for the one, two, three. Jonah Huntley & Ebi Kadivar defeated Big ‘n’ Nasty in 11:17 when Jonah Huntley pinned Nasty G with a StarMaker (59) Angle: A Tapanga Hype Video puts over the dark and twisted place the mind can go if it cracks (36) Angle: ALFA throw out the challenge to The Devastators for ALFA’s Tag Team Championship at New Year, No Limits, Desean Royal: As two titans of this industry, together we can push tag team wrestling to the forefront of the industry by going up against each other, with the tag team titles up for grabs. The graphic flashes to showcase that Ieshia agrees and the match is set for the New Year, No Limits PPV in a couple of weeks. (50) Main Event: Daryl Lance w/ Cheerleader Brittany vs Merengue w/ Marco Couture Match Details: Lance stayed focus to ignore Merengues taunts and jeers to take control of the majority of this contest, delivering a hard fought but ultimately well fought victory. Daryl Lance defeated Merengue in 14:44 by pinfall with an VDB 2.0 (65) In Ring Angle: Aaron Price calls out N8 Omega, but Wilson Hancock enters instead! A triple threat is teased but as soon as Price accepts, Omega jumps him from behind, leaving the US champion laid out, with the title draped over his back Wilson Hancock: Best of luck, Champ (60). Final Show rating (68) Increased our popularity in 10 regions Show Notes - Pleasing show with Lance disappointing on the mic, but making up for it in the ring! - Ieshia & Huntley on the mic will be a key theme as we're building up the shows!

AWF Retribution 40 Date: Tuesday, Week 1, January 2021 Attendance: 2,312 People In Ring Opening Angle: Fireworks followed by the AWF intro music playing out welcomes the AWF fans in California into a new episode of AWF Retribution! Whilst the opening shots are taken of the display and hyped-up crowd, we hear the commentary team of Kyle Howard and Kitty Reardon welcome us to the show: Kyle Howard: Welcome back, one and all, to the Awesome Wrestling Federation, and the first Retribution of the new year! I’m Kyle Howard and joining me in the commentary booth, as always, the ever-insightful Kitty Reardon! Kitty Reardon: Thanks Kyle, it’s a pleasure as always. There is a real tangible excitement in the air here in AWF, as the new year presents both fresh opportunities and challenges for everyone to fight for! Kyle Howard: Absolutely Kitty, something tells me that this year is going to be even more awesome than before! But first we’ll throw it down to the United States champion, Aaron Price! United States Champion, Aaron Price, with the title proudly over his shoulder, makes his entrance to open the show. He is proud to enter the new year your United States champion. Aaron Price: Whilst we’ve all faced challenges, here in this arena, or watching from home, we can all come together and overcome any obstacle because we are AWF, and together we are Priceless! The music of N8 Omega interrupts to a chorus of boos, as the full of himself Omega makes his way into the arena. He highlights a triple threat number one contender’s match that he is involved with later tonight for a chance at Price’s title. N8 Omega: This is the pe-pe-pe-perrrrrfect way for AWF to be represented by a true champion! as that rookie Eddy and that unhinged mess Jesse Mills, offer Price nothing but a longshot hope of you being challenged by anyone except the sure fire bet, N8 Omega! (60). Match 1: Atlas Lynn vs. Temerario Match Details: An athletic, back-and-forth encounter sees Atlas Lynn getting more and more desperate, as Temerario continues to fight through the barrage of offence, flipping the momentum with a Mystery Reveal (Inside cradle roll through into a twisting dropkick) leading to the three count. Temerario defeated Atlas Lynn in 10:10 by pinfall with a Mystery Reveal (52). Backstage Angle: Ieshia nervously collects herself before letting a breath out and knocking on AWF owners Johnny Valleau door. As the current manager of the Women’s division, Ieshia is prepared for her “Performance review”, although by the end of the conversation she is stunned as Valleau declares … Johnny Valleau: Your constant drive for excellence has persuaded myself and the other board members to hand over the keys of the company, granting you full and complete ownership of AWF! Whilst Valleau came across in the slimiest way possible, there is a steely resolve in Ieshia’s eyes to make this opportunity work (45). Match 2: Laura Arriaga vs. Tapanga Match Details: Poor local talent Arriaga was certainly not paid by the hour for this one-off performance, as Tapanga dominated her prey for 96 seconds, before putting her away with a Twizt and Shout (Sister Abigail). Tapanga defeated Laura Arriaga in 1:36 by pinfall with a Twizt and Shout (18) Backstage Angle: AWF lead interviewer, Emma Moore walk over to Starlight women’s division star Erin Scott. After smiling and waving enthusiastically to Moore to acknowledge Erin had seen her approach, halfway through the question of her 2021 plans, Erin can’t help but give her a big cuddly hug. Off camera we hear a pretentious “Eww”, and the clacking of high heels, as three quarters of the faction “Mean Girls Club” approach, Kali Azar, Jenn Powalski and Teri Szatkowski. Kali Azar: You are surrounded gorgeous influencers and the best this sport has to offer, and the only thing you can do is embarrass yourself on the weekly, wearing stupid T-shirts and people pleasing losers! Jenn Powalski: Imagine scratching and clawing your way to get here, only to act like Erin! Ew, couldn’t be me! As they giggle away, Scott drops her head, freezing up ever since they approached. Moore gives an encouraging back pat as we move on to the next segment (48) Hype Video: We next spotlight World Champion, Core! The best moments from taking the title from Derrick Romeo to defending the belt twice, really get over how superhuman the demonic, big, bulky heavyweight champion is, sitting on top of the AWF landscape (69). Match 3: United States Championship: Number 1 Contendership match Eddy Lemaître vs. Jesse Mills vs. N8 Omega Match Details: The United States Champion, Aaron Price, was watching this number 1 Contendership at ringside, as these 3 wrestlers battled for a opportunity at his title. The match allowed Mills to showcase his dangerous and unpredictable offence, Lemaître’s “unbreakable spirit” after surviving some heavy blows, and Omega’s cunningness to deflect offence into the opposition, before scampering over to sneak attack Lemaître with his Omega Driver and picking up the win. N8 Omega defeated Eddy Lemaître and Jesse Mills in 8:45 when N8 Omega pinned Eddy Lemaître with an Omega Driver (45). Backstage Angle: Former three-time World champion, Derrick Romeo is seen taping up ready for his main event match. When he stands up ready to warm up, he finds himself face to face with AWF’s newest signing, Jonah Huntley. Huntley made his debut last month attacking Romeo, so the atmosphere is tense. Derrick Romeo: You’ve got five seconds to spit out whatever it is you are about to say, before I knock your teeth down your throat Jonah Huntley: Woah, woah, woah, easy their big boy, I just came in to let you know that I, Jonah Huntley will be watching you very closely tonight, very closely indeed, Huntley leaves having delivered his news, leaving a frustrated Romeo to continue his pre-match preparations… (72). Match 4: Black Gold and ALPHA vs. Stacks Armstrong and The Devastators Match Details: Trio’s action sees the Tag champs ALFA and The Devastators add another chapter to their 6-month battle against each, with the unaffiliated Armstrong and Gold seizing on the opportunity to prove their worth. With the tag teams battling on the outside of the ring, its Stacks Armstrong, who turns down the chance to cheating twice, tricking the ref into thinking this would be a fair match, only to nonchalantly place two feet on the ropes, for the hard cam to see, but the referee to miss, as the victory is stolen in broad daylight. Stacks Armstrong and The Devastators defeated Black Gold and ALPHA in 11:23 when Stacks Armstrong pinned Black Gold while using the ropes for leverage (41) In Ring Angle: “All American” Daryl Lance is accompanied by his manager Cheerleader Brittany out to the ring. Whilst Daryl is grateful for hers and the fans support over his time in AWF, he is focussed on giving his all for the good of this company, and to ensure he provides for Brittany, himself and his family Daryl Lance: No matter where this road takes us, I promise to stand up, take charge and deliver! (42) Main Event: Derrick Romeo vs. Ebi Kadivar Match Details: Romeo did find himself being added to the “List of Kadivar” but unfortunately for Ebi, that was the only thing he had control of tonight. Even with Huntely’s prowling around the ring, Romeo was the consummate professional, ignoring all the noise to stay in control, avoid any counterattacks before finally hitting a brutal looking Tigerbuster (Tiger Driver) to win the main event. Derrick Romeo defeated Ebi Kadivar in 17:06 by pinfall with a Tigerbuster. (66) Closing In ring Angle: Romeo raises his arms heading up the ramp victorious, as Huntley throws down the list in disgust, berating Kadivar, before yelling off mic up the ramp to Romeo. We go off the air with Kadivar in the background “nursing” the list, treating as if it was his kid, but with a feud bubbling between Romeo & Huntley (65). Final Show rating (66) Increased pop in 11 regions Show Notes - With our company popularity starting off as a 60, anuthing over the 60 mark is the minimum standard, especially as we're so close to dropping in size, so whilst the first show can be awkward, hitting the mark first time is pleasing - Both Huntley & Romeo off script worked the crowd well ensuring the best angle was a strong 72 - Given these are created wrestlers, let us know if you think in ring ratings for wrestlers would be a positive improvement to the diary, any feedback is welcome!
