A Note from Me Thank you all for contributing to making my longest diary to date. Confession time: I actually got fired at the start of November in game after not checking the owner goals and letting Valiant's popularity slip too low. I didn't feel like the diary had a suitable end point there, so I added a new player, took over EEE and did one last show, which happened to tie-in with workers leaving and gave me a chance to give Riley McManus the send-off he's deserved for so long. Sorry it took so long for me to realise how popular and awesome he was. Part of me did consider just to keep going, but it felt too much like cheating and I personally don't like it when diaries jsut stop with no conclusion. For those wondering what I had planned. Cam Vessey was originally to hold the title heading into Starclash; Fro Sure was to win the Empire Royale and then lose to CV at Starclash. I would then start the slow-turn of Dreadnought, culminating in him winning Empire Royale in 2027 and winning the big belt of Cam at the following Starclash. I wanted to personally thank each and every one of you who have read the diary and especially those who commented and nominated me for Diary of the Month. It's hugely appreciated. And frankly, you guys were better decision-makers and bookers than me most of the time. I'm working on something else at the moment, which I will explain once I'm comfortable that it's achievable and then I suspect I shall return with another diary down the road. And once again, thank you all very much.

New York City… where the rain washes away the sins of the masses… New York City coach station in downtown NYC was not the place I imagined I’d be at this time of year. It was almost time for New Year’s celebrations and as I’d got a taxi from the Flat Iron Building one last time, my mobile blew up. Owners from lots of other companies had seen the press release and were enquiring about my plans. Whether I was available to come and see them and help them as I’d once helped NYCW all those years ago. I ignored them and scrolled through the Pro Wrestling Reporter website, where the top story was about EEE appointing Sam Keith as the new head booker. I never would’ve thought that the thing that got me wasn’t losing the TV show, or getting blacklisted from the networks or forcing Larry’s hand in setting up our own network or even the yo-yo size of the company. It was that I hadn’t kept Valiant as popular as Larry had requested. After the previous event where he’d lost to Vessey, I’d accidentally tanked his merchandise and that was the breaking point for Larry. Typical really, Valiant had been great, but something of a pain in the backside since we signed him. Irony of ironies was of course that he’d just signed a contract with USPW and was leaving anyway. The year-end awards were being released as I say in the cold, almost-empty coach station. I didn’t even know where I was going. I just needed to get out of New York… Wrestler of the Year: Gino Montero (SWF) Young Wrestler of the Year: James Diaz (TCW) Female Wrestler of the Year: Brooke Tyler (CWA) Tag Team of the Year: The Dynamite Express (Cam Jones & Syd Collier) (CWA) Independent Wrestler of the Year: Mystery Pink (CILL & OLLIE) Veteran Wrestler of the Year: Remo Richardson (SWF) Promotion of the Year: CWA Most Improved Promotion: Ultimate European Wrestling Show of the Year: CWA Summer Smash 2025 (Aaron Knight vs. Jared Johnson) Match of the Year: Nicky Champion & Gino Montero defeated Robbie Retro & Mainstream Hernandez (SWF Elite – December 2025) Announcer of the Year: Duane Fry (SWF) Colour Commentator of the Year: Hidetada Kozu (PGHW) Manager of the Year: Gabrielle Ortega (EILL) Top 10 Workers in the World: 1.

Valiant defeated Davis Wayne Newton (EEE Starclash II, May 2025) – 85 Not a bad resume of quality matches right there. And we topped the all-time with the penultimate match of my tenure. Realistically I was lucky to avoid being fired back around Starclash II, but it was a shame to have put so much into something, only to see someone else take the credit going forward. But that, is life. The rain lashed against the glass doors of the coach station. I looked at my messages. I hadn’t even heard of any of the names in there, so I closed it again. The departure board listed a number of coaches going all around the country. All I had to do was pick one… Texas? San Francisco? San Diego? Seattle? Choices choices choices. But whatever I chose, there was one fact which always ran through my mind. New York City is always a good idea…. A beautiful catastrophe… The End

EEE Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow Sunday, Week 4, December 2025 Weston Square Garden, New York City, New York Attendance: 38,501 GRUDGE MATCH Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton They slug it out and Pepper wins that and beats on Prime Time in the corner, but misses a charge and runs his knee into the turnbuckle. Prime Time quickly goes to work on it and gets a figure-four, but Pepper makes the ropes. Prime Time goes to work on the knee again and beats on it in the corner, but Pepper reverses a whip and sends him into the post to turn the tide. Pepper drops elbows on the back and follows with a Scoop Slam for two. Pepper whips him into the corner for the turnbuckle bump, and that gets two. Pepper with the abdominal stretch to work the ribs, but Prime Time reverses it and dodges an elbow to come back. Pepper cuts him off and stomps him down again, however, until Prime Time hits a crossbody for two. Prime Time tries a sunset flip, but Pepper blocks for two and then Prime Time finishes the move for two. Pepper goes to a Rear Chinlock and then switches to a Bearhug, but Prime Time bites him to escape and then backdrops him to the floor. Prime Time runs him into the stairs and slugs away back in the ring. Atomic Drop and clothesline get two. Backbreaker and Middle-Rope Clothesline get two. Bulldog gets two. Legsweep gets two. He goes for the Prydefall, but Pepper dodges and then hauls down the ref to escape. So Pepper hits Prime Time in the ribs to take over again, but Prime Time gets a Back Suplex and goes up for another Middle-Rope Elbow, which misses and hits boot. This sets up the Fisherman’s Suplex, but Prime Time slips out and into a backslide for two. Pepper kicks him in the ribs again and sends him into the corner to hurt the ribs further, but Prime Time takes him down with a pinning combo for two and then rolls through from underneath and hits a definitive PrydeFall. In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Pepper Pelton in 10:03 by pinfall with a PrydeFall. Rating: 82 ANGLE: Following the match, The Cross River Connection stare down for a moment and then hug before leaving together. Rating: 82 Notes: One more time for old times’ sake between the two men so perfectly intertwined with one another for years. Both as partners and best friends, to singles workers and worst enemies. In many ways the feud between these two underpinned our entire philosophy. Pepper had signed with SWF, sot his was his last match and I was glad I was here to see it all play out. Prime Time is one of the best workers we’d built up and he had, at least, signed-up long-term. SINGLES MATCH: Robby Griffin vs. Chip Martin In a decent match, Chip Martin defeated Robby Griffin in 6:52 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage. Rating: 66 SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Joey Fili In a decent match, Seiji Jimbo drew with Joey Fili in 6:08 following a double count out. Rating: 66 Notes: You can’t have a EEE show without at least one draw on it. It’s our signature finish. SINGLES MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. The Masked Mauler In a decent match, The Masked Mauler defeated Eddie Howard in 6:07 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Rating: 62 Notes: Even The Mauler is getting in on the wins. EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Fabulous DeColts vs. The Fantastic Express vs. The Stone Foundation © In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Fabulous DeColts and The Stone Foundation in 10:08; the order of elimination was The Fabulous DeColts first, and then The Stone Foundation. The Fantastic Express win the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 76 Notes: Arguably the best tag team in our company history reclaim the belts and have them back where they rightfully belong. Good match, as is always the case in our tag team division. EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Dreadnought vs. Honest Frank Jr © In an extremely short match, Dreadnought defeated Honest Frank Jr in 5:30 by pinfall with a Dread Bomb. Dreadnought wins the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 45 Notes: As good as Honest Frank Jr has been for us as a champion, it’s the Unstoppable Dreadnought who is on a tear at the moment and this firmly establishes him as a top threat and now… a champion. And to think, we’d botched his initial run so badly. I still can’t believe I managed that. NO.1 CONTENDERS TAG TEAM MATCH: Valiant & Charlie Corner vs. The Twin Powers vs. Solomon Gold & Danny Hagman In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Danny Hagman and Solomon Gold defeated Valiant and Charlie Corner and The Twin Powers in 9:34; the order of elimination was The Twin Powers first, and then Valiant and Charlie Corner. Rating: 68 Notes: Sometimes you just want to get everyone on the show and give them a payday. The team of Gold and Hagman were on a collision course with The Fantastic Express. Which was a nice way of building the story, but through different matches. TRIPLE THREAT MATCH: Davis Wayne Newton vs. Fro Sure vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a superb match, Fro Sure defeated Trent Shaffer and Davis Wayne Newton in 14:09 when Fro Sure pinned Trent Shaffer with a Sure Thing Rating: 79 Notes: Fro Sure is surely the greatest top-tier loser we ever had, so it felt right to give him a win here. Against two top workers no less. Trent takes the pinfall to protect the cash cow DWN, but the match was actually, hilariously, one of the lesser Fro Sure performances. Life was funny sometimes. SINGLES MATCH ‘The Star’ George Trapesi vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus Following two elaborate entrances for both men. The match begins. Trapesi takes him down and tries an STF, but McManus bails. Back in, Trapesi mule kicks him and escapes a sleeper with an Armdrag, then Legdrags him into another STF attempt, but McManus makes the ropes before he can finish. McManus sends him into the post and pounds on him, and gets a suplex for two. They exchange chops and Trapesi takes over. Boomerang clothesline and knee to the gut get two. More chops and he knees McManus down, but gets suplexed onto the top rope to stop the rally. He necksnaps McManus and drags him onto the apron, where they slug it out, and Trapesi DDTs him onto the apron. Back in, Trapesi gets two. He goes up, but misses the Stomp, and then counters an Slingshot Suplex into an STF. McManus makes the ropes. Backdrop Suplex gets two. He walks into an overhead suplex from McManus, however, and bails. McManus stomps him on the floor and they head back in, which McManus short-arms him for two. McManus hits the chinlock and they turn it into a mat sequence as Trapesi armdrags out of it, but McManus snaps off another overhead suplex. A Backdrop Suplex gets two, and McManus goes back to the Chinlock. Trapesi fights out again, and they collide with Clotheslines for the double KO. Trapesi fights back with clotheslines and gets a Backdrop, but McManus reverses to his own, which Trapesi then reverses to one more of his own. Trapesi gives him the Finger Gun Point, but instead of going for the Star Maker Lariat, he goes up looking for a Star Destroyer, but McManus hits him with the Pop Up Superplex for two. Trapesi counters the Slingshot Suplex with a Choke, but McManus pulls himself to the ropes. Trapesi hauls him off and gives him another STF, but that allows McManus to reverse to his own. Trapesi counters again back to a crossface, but McManus rolls him over for two, but Trapesi doesn’t release, and that proves to be a mistake as McManus hits him with the Slingshot Suplex out of that. It only gets two as McManus is losing his mind at Trapesi kicking out of his finisher. McManus grabs Trapesi for another one, but Trapesi reverses into a Star Maker Lariat, but is too exhausted to capitlise and both men are out. After a short while, both are up and McManus tries a German Suplex, but Trapesi powers out instead and tries another german, but McManus reverses, which Trapesi then counters with a rollup for two. Another German for Trapesi, but McManus reverses to his own, but Trapesi reverses and McManus takes an upside-down bump onto his face off it. Trapesi goes up again and hits the Star Destroyer from 3/4 of the way across the ring. That unbelievably gets two. And now it’s Trapesi’s turn to look incredulous. STF again, but The Georgia Bulldog rolls out and tries a powerbomb. He drops Trapesi on the turnbuckle, into the Slignshot Suplex, and that gets two. Trapesi takes him down again with an STF, and McManus is stuck, but he rolls through again into a front face-lock. Trapesi fights it off, but McManus won’t let go of the hold. Trapesi rolls off again, but McManus stays on it. Another reversal, but McManus rolls with him and holds on, so Trapesi pokes him in the eye to release. Trapesi gets to his feet and Finger Gun Points at a blinded McManus. Star Maker Lariat connects. Trapesi hooks both legs for the 1… 2… But McManus kicks out. Trapesi lines him up again for a second Star Maker Lariat. 1… 2… McManus kicks out a second time. A visibly angry Trapesi sweeps his hair back and Finger Gun Points one last time. McManus staggers to his feet and BAM… McManus hits a Star Maker Lariat out of nowhere. Trapesi collapses to the mat and McManus falls on top, unconscious. As the referee counts the 1… 2… 3. In an exceptional match, Riley McManus defeated George Trapesi in 18:13 by pinfall with a Slingshot Suplex. Rating: 85 ANGLE: After the match both men slowly get to their feet. Trapesi has tears in his eyes as the crowd chant ‘Please don’t go’ he looks at McManus who offers his hand. Trapesi shakes it and raises The Georgia Bulldog’s hand in triumph. From the entranceway, Trent Shaffer charges down to ringside and blindsides Trapesi. Violently assaulting him. McManus tries to pull him away, but Shaffer is a man possessed. After a few seconds more; McManus spins Shaffer around with a sick thud he delivers a Star Maker Lariat to level his former partner, to the delight of the crowd. McManus picks up the unconscious Shaffer and carries him backstage as Trapesi is left in the ring for a standing ovation. Rating: 84 EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) Vessey immediately goes on the attack and Andrews catches him with armdrags and the double choke. Vessey bails to think about it and nails The Ace on the way back in before choking him out on the ropes and snapping the neck on the top rope for two. The Ace works the arm in response and snaps the arm on the top rope before working a wristlock, but Vessey puts him down with an elbow and tosses him over the top rope. The champ hauls him back in and goes after the throat in a wise bit of evil and then puts him down with an elbow for two. Kneedrop gets two. Andrews fires back with chops in the corner and Vessey gets tied in the ropes as a result, but escapes from it, so Andrews gets an armdrag and then puts him down with shoulderblocks for a pair of near-falls. Vessey finally hits a knee to the back and tosses him, but The Ace skins the cat, and then Vessey tosses him again and Andrews bumps into the railing and then Vessey drops an old-school axehandle on him. Back in, Vessey with an elbow for two and he necks Andrews on the top rope for two. Vessey with a gut wrench for two. Andrews fights back again and flips out of an atomic drop, then hits Vessey with chops until Vessey catches him with his head down. Vessey charges and Andrews backdrops him over the top, and The Ace goes up with the flying chop for two. Andrews keeps throwing chops and Vessey bails to the apron, so Andrews chops him to the floor and then brings him in with a sunset flip for two. Rollup gets two. Cradle gets two. Small package gets two. He catapults Vessey into the post and rolls him up for two. Vessey takes a swing but Andrews rolls him up for two and Vessey reverses for two. Again, Vessey is desperate and yanks Andrews into the post to slow him down, but Andrews comes back and the ref is bumped as a result. Vessey gets the short clothesline and lines up the Vessey Driver II, but there’s no ref. He signals to the back and Generation Alpha storm the ring and destroy Andrews. They scatter to outside as the ref comes to and Vessey hooks the trunks for the pin and the win. In an exceptional match, Cameron Vessey defeated Aaron Andrews in 10:34 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Cameron Vessey makes defence number eleven of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 91 ANGLE: After the match Generation Alpha are back in and destroying Andrews in the centre of the ring. When Riley McManus appears at the entrance way with a microphone. “Hey champ, nice to see you’re a coward as always. But I’ve got an idea. I just put my career on the line and fought a war. So I think I’m allowed a title shot. And I want to take it now. If it makes you feel better we can do a No-DQ match too?” Vessey looks at the solitary McManus and then at the sheer numbers of Generation Alpha and smiles. He gets a microphone and accepts the challenge. Now The Georgia Pup should come down and take his medicine. McManus drops the microphone as Charlie Corner, Fro Sure, DWN, The Fabulous DeColts, Valiant, The Fantastic Express and the Cross River Connection come out to stand with McManus. Vessey looks shocked and orders Generation Alpha to form a barrier between them and that they should destroy them. As the attackers clash with Generation Alpha, no one has noticed George Trapesi sliding into the ring. He points the Finger Gun at Vessey, who turns and gets blasted with the Star Maker Lariat. With the numbers game on their side, McManus breaks through the wall of defenders. He nods at Trapesi who runs against the ropes and throws himself over the top onto the pile of humanity below. McManus gives a thumbs up to Michael Bull, he gives him the thumbs up back. McManus scoops up Vessey and hits his own Star Maker Lariat. Rating: 98 ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) In an exceptionally short match, Riley McManus defeated Cameron Vessey in 1:34 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. Riley McManus wins the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 74 OVERALL RATING: 88 – 0.30 (153,288 buys) After the show I congratulated Riley and wished all the best to George, Pepper and The Eagle as they prepared for their futures in SWF. The mood backstage was buyount when I was summoned to Larry’s office. I didn’t need to go in. I already knew what was coming. So I walked in with my head held high. Next time… a long bus ride home…

New York City… where you live until a better offer comes along… The monthly merch figures were positive again, with money-spinner Davis Wayne Newton officially King of Merch, but far play to Aaron Andrews who was fast approaching him. I was enjoying reading through the detailed figures, glad that the company were making more money, when someone contacted me about a house show we ran the night before. Big Jon Walker had broken his leg. Bugger. Monthly Merchandise: 1. Davis Wayne Newton - $428,424 (+$4,631) 2. Aaron Andrews - $333,953 (+$41,906) 3. Prime Time Jack Pryde - $238,389 (+$37,099) 4. Valiant - $166,797 (-$21,889) 5. Charlie Corner - $81,528 (+$5,401) 6. Zippy Deverell - $76,458 (+$7,394) 7. Fro Sure - $56,109 (+$2,516) 8. George Trapesi - $46,330 ($0) 9. Rafe Sasay - $43,285 (+$412) 10. Cameron Vessey - $43,480 (+$914) I spent the rest of the week negotiating with the huge number of workers whose contracts were due for renewal. Most were far more popular now that when we’d signed them and it occurred to me that we were probably going to have to break the bank… AND avoid them signing with USPW, SWF or TCW as well. On top of that; Larry was still not impressed with some of my actions this year and we had a show to build to. EEE All Star Wrestling #89 Friday, Week 1, December 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 7,747 [*]ANGLE: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews is out, and he’s out to brag. The Man put together a seemingly unstoppable team of second and third generation wrestlers. The finest of the fine, the cream of the crop and still, they lost to The Ace and bunch of Canadians. How embarrassing. But you know what’s going to be more embarrassing? Because he got the winning pinfall, he’s already been given a shot at the EEE World Heavyweight Title… tonight. So The Man better lace up his boots, because his reign of terror is over. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Joey Fili In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Joey Fili defeated The Eagle in 7:58 by pinfall with a Spinning Back Fist. Rating: 48 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Marcus English vs. Dreadnought In a decent match, Dreadnought defeated Marcus English in 7:45 by pinfall with an Onrushing Terror. Rating: 62 [*]ANGLE: Backstage Charlie Corner and Valiant approach The Twin Powers and they’re surprisingly calm. They’ve seen Bulldozer Brandon Smith hobbling around. They know his knees are shot and it’s probably time to pack it in. But they appreciate that he’s a fighter and won’t listen to them. But he should listen to his partner and they call on Andrew to ‘have a word’ and bring him the glass of whisky and a gun. It’s time to take the old dog out to the shed and say goodbye. Bulldozer is furious and demands a match tonight. Rating: 79 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom & Ben Williams vs. Danny Hagman & Solomon Gold In a terrible match, Danny Hagman and Solomon Gold defeated Alistair Shufflebottom and Ben Williams in 10:24 when Solomon Gold submitted Ben Williams with a Gold Standard Sleeper. During the match we also had Rafe Sashay run in and attack Hagman. Rating: 51 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is in the Executive Suite with the rest of Canada’s Finest and they’re celebrating. The first nail in the coffin of Generation Alpha has been hammered in. Now they just need to lower the coffin in the ground. From behind them; Dreadnought attacks and lays waste to all of them. Rating: 90 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. William Jetterson In a decent match, Fro Sure defeated William Jetterson in 10:09 by pinfall with a Sure Thing. Rating: 76 [*]ANGLE: In the locker room of Generation Alpha, Honest Frank Jr is pitching for him to join them and complete their set of holding all the titles at the same time. Cameron Vessey keeps asking who he dad was, and what did he do in his career. Honest Frank Jr reminds him, again, that his dad is actually a four-time holder of the title over Vessey’s shoulder. That’s tied for the most reigns ever. Vessey point out that to win it four times, he must have lost it four times too. Honest Frank Jr promises to prove himself again next week. Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Valiant vs. Bulldozer Brandon Smith In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Valiant defeated Bulldozer Brandon Smith in 6:08 by pinfall with a V-Split. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: After the match Andrew Harper hits the ring to take out Valiant, but is met by Corner and the four men brawl backstage. Rating: 80 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey In an exceptional match, Cameron Vessey defeated Aaron Andrews in 10:17 by count out after Dreadnought attacked Andrews outside the ring and left him destroyed through a table. Cameron Vessey makes defence number ten of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 89 [*]OVERALL RATING: 86 – 3.06 (2,296,050 viewers) The first loss of the process occurred after the show as Angry Gilmore; former World Champion and stalwart of the roster officially moved on, having decided not to accept our contract offers. On top of this piece of bad news; Valiant dislocated his shoulder, meaning we’d have to be careful with him for a few weeks. Finally, we weren’t the only ones struggling with the re-signing process as Scythe signed with SWF. Big move that one. After a week of negotiation it was becoming clear that we weren’t going to be able to keep all of our talent. So contingencies had to be made. Even worse, at the news of the failures, Larry had stopped responding to my calls and he was nowhere to be found in the office. EEE All Star Wrestling #90 Friday, Week 2, December 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 8,766 [*]ANGLE: George Trapesi opens the show and he’s calling out his old rival… ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus, who answers the call. Trapesi admits that the two of them have a long and storied history. They’ve beaten each other time and time again, sometimes for the World Heavyweight Title, sometimes just because they hate each other so damn much. McManus nods in agreement and grins. But it feels like there’s more than a little resentment in Riley. More than a little anger that his career hasn’t gone the way he’d have hoped after showing so much promise. Trapesi understands that. So he suggests the two of them do what they do best and fight. Put on a show for the ages. A match to make or break their careers. What do you say? McManus thinks for a moment and then says, he’ll agree, but a simple match isn’t enough. They have to go somewhere they’ve never been before. So he’s upping the ante. They’ll fight providing the two of them put it all on the line… their careers. McManus wants a Loser Leaves Town match… Trapesi seems to baulk for a moment, and then he agrees. This brings out President Sam Keith. He respects both men and there’s nothing he loves more than the spirit of competition so he’ll add his own flavour to things. As a bonus, whichever man wins gets a title shot at any time they wish against any champion. He wishes them both good luck. Rating: 83 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Cowboy Leon Dooley In a decent match, Seiji Jimbo defeated Cowboy Leon Dooey in 6:03 by submission with a Seiji Ocean Lock. Rating: 52 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Fantastic Express vs. William Jetterson & Spike Sylvain In a decent match, The Fantastic Express defeated William Jetterson and Spike Sylvain in 6:11 when Rafe Sashay pinned William Jetterson with a Fantastic Flashbang. During the match we also had Solomon Gold run in and attack Sashay. Rating: 70 [*]ANGLE: Backstage Trent Shaffer confronts Riley and asks what he thinks he’s playing at? Riley explains that the two of them are two of the best in the business, but they haven’t sniffed a legitimate World Title Shot in too long. Sometimes you have to put it all on the line and go for broke. He is a World Champion and if he’s not good enough to beat The Star, then he doesn’t belong on the roster. Trent thinks he’s lost his mind. Rating: 90 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Charlie Corner vs. Andrew Harper In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Andrew Harper defeated Charlie Corner in 10:16 by pinfall with a Spike Slam after Billy Keelan interfered. Rating: 71 [*]ANGLE: Trent Shaffer approaches George Trapesi who is working out backstage. He knows they’re enemies and have been for as long as he can remember (“You cost me the title the moment you arrived and my mask,” George tells him). But he can’t seriously be considering putting it on the line. He’s worried that Riley has lost his mind, but Trapesi explains that he gets it. And he agrees. At this Trent loses his temper and demands a match tonight. He can’t do something stupid if he’s too injured. Trapesi tells him to bring it. Rating: 84 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Canada’s Finest (Robby Griffin & The Fabulous DeColts) vs. Generation Alpha (Chip Martin & The Stone Foundation) In a decent match, Canada's Finest (Robby Griffin, Daniel DeColt and Jackson DeColt) drew with Generation Alpha (Chip Martin, Michael Stone and Christopher Stone) in 9:52 following a double count out.

Rating: 86 [*]EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Simon Ice vs. Honest Frank Jr (c) In a decent match, Honest Frank Jr defeated Simon Ice in 10:02 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage. Honest Frank Jr makes defence number four of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 71 [*]ANGLE: Prime Time Jack Pryde is talking with Trapesi backstage about his decision and if he’s sure he wants to risk it. He tries to remind him that McManus usually has the best of him and Trapesi points out “Not when it really matters.” Trapesi leaves to head to the ring and ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton enters. Prime Time asks him what he wants and The Perfect One wants a chat. Rating: 83 [*]SINGLES MATCH: George Trapesi vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, George Trapesi defeated Trent Shaffer in 10:29 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat following a botched run-in from Riley McManus who accidentally hits Trent Shaffer. Rating: 82 [*]ANGLE: After the match The Georgia Bulldog delivers a vicious beatdown to Trapesi. Rating: 83 [*]OVERALL RATING: 83 – 3.01 (2,264,262 viewers) And we’ve got the ball rolling on the first match-up proper for EEE Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow. Yes it was a bit wordy for an event, but it fit the theme of the show to a tee. Still no word or sign of Larry this week either. I was starting to get worried, but his secretary told me he was out for business for the next few weeks and to carry on like normal without him. EEE All Star Wrestling #91 Friday, Week 3, December 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 9,911 [*]ANGLE: Aaron ‘The Ace’s Andrews is out. It’s great to be in New York City. He realises that Cameron Vessey is The Man. There’s no point pretending otherwise. Sure he’s surrounded himself with some of the best talent in the world. But he’s confident that DWN and Canada’s Finest have them taken care. And believe him, he never thought he’d be relying on DWN to help him out. But needs must when the devil drives. And Vessey is the devil. He’s the perfect combination of savy, smart, talented and a moral black hole. There is nothing he won’t do to keep his title. And The Ace can respect that, but Vessey needs to understand, when you’re facing Aaron Andrews, you’re facing a multiple-time world champion. A man who has overcome everything in his life and come back from terrible mistakes. There is nothing he fears and heading into Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow, The Ace is going to do what he always does this time of year. Win the World Heavyweight Title. Rating: 84 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Ben Williams vs. The Masked Mauler In a terrible match, The Masked Mauler defeated Ben Williams in 9:50 by pinfall with a Piledriver. Rating: 46 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Marcus English & Simon Ice vs. The Magic Boys In a terrible match, The Magic Boys defeated Marcus English and Simon Ice in 8:19 when Newquay Brown pinned Simon Ice with a Magic Marker. Rating: 48 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr is in Generation Alpha’s locker room talking to The Man. He asks if they’re ready to take him on as a new member yet? Cameron says ‘it’s almost time… there’s just one thing left to do.’ Honest Frank Jr asks what it is? He’s ready to do anything they say, ready to overcome any obstacle, climb any mountain. Vessey says that’s good. But he works on a one-in-one-out system with Alpha. So if he wants in, he has to eliminate someone from the team. As such, at Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow, Honest Frank Jr just has to beat… ‘The Monster’ Dreadnought and the spot right next to him is open. ‘Good luck champ.’ Rating: 89 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton In a decent match, Seiji Jimbo defeated Pepper Pelton in 7:37 by submission with a Seiji Ocean Lock. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: The Fabulous DeColts notice that The Stone Foundation are ducking them by facing The Combat Club later tonight, but it’s ok. They’ve officially requested a title match for Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow from President Keith. Keith enters the interview area at this time and tells them, they do indeed have the title shot… but not alone, The Fantastic Express are also involved. It’s a triple threat match for the EEE World Tag Team Titles. Rating: 87 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Eddie ‘The Destroyer’ Howard vs. Denny King In a decent match, Eddie Howard defeated Denny King in 10:16 by pinfall with a Crash And Burn. Rating: 64 [*]ANGLE: After the match The Masked Mauler attacks Eddie Howard, who is able to fight him off and screams in rage for a match at Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow. Rating: 67 [*]EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Combat Club vs. The Stone Foundation (c) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Stone Foundation defeated The Combat Club in 9:59 when Christopher Stone submitted JP Barnham with an Alabaster Agony. The Stone Foundation make defence number two of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 75 [*]ANGLE: ‘The Perfect One’ is obviously upset about his defeat and he’s looking for Prime Time Jack Pryde. It’s not clear why he’s angry at his former best friend, but he is and can’t find him. Rating: 88 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Aaron Andrews defeated Riley McManus in 11:58 by pinfall with a Flying Body Press following interference from George Trapesi. Rating: 79 [*]OVERALL RATING: 80 – 3.05 (2,289,149 viewers) Hugely disappointing main event right there as I would’ve expected those two to put on a barn-stormer of a match. It wasn’t bad or anything, just not as good as I’d hoped. But with just the go-home show left, we rattled on. EEE All Star Wrestling #92 Friday, Week 4, December 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 9,601 [*]ANGLE: Prime Time Jack Pryde is out with a microphone. He hears ‘The Perfect One’ has been looking at him, but he’s confused. They haven’t had anything to do with one another for months. Not to mention, he doesn’t currently have a title. So why? Why does Pep feel so angry towards him? He has an idea why. He’s pretty sure that Pep has realised, after all this time that when he turned on his best friend. When he broke up one of the most successful teams of all time that he thought he was owed something. More success perhaps? More money? But it hasn’t worked out like that. He’s burnt every bridge and now he’s lost to a new star on the scene. But rather than looking in the mirror, he’s decided to blame his old punching bag; Prime Time. Well, as always Pep, I’m here to clean up your mess. If you’re mad at me and want to take out YOUR failure on me, then I’m here. He’s spoken to President Keith whose granted the two of them a match. And when Prime Time beats Pepper again, he’ll have no one left to blame but himself. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Frantic Ali In a decent match, Seiji Jimbo defeated Frantic Ali in 11:27 by submission with a Seiji Ocean Lock. Rating: 57 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Robby Griffin vs. Solomon Gold In a decent match, Solomon Gold defeated Robby Griffin in 9:51 by submission with a Gold Standard Sleeper. Rating: 67 [*]ANGLE: Danny Hagman and Solomon Gold are in the offices of President Keith and they’re complaining about not being in the World Tag Team Title Match. Keith understands their frustration and as a way of saying sorry, he’ll give them a match for the number one contendership for the tag titles at Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow against… The Twin Powers AND Valiant & Corner. They don’t look happy. Rating: 79 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom & Ben Williams vs. The Combat Club In a poor match, The Combat Club defeated Alistair Shufflebottom and Ben Williams in 9:48 when Ray Cavalero pinned Ben Williams with double Vessey Locks. Rating: 57 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr is back in the locker room and pleading with Cameron Vessey for a match against anyone other then Dreadnought? He’ll beat Chip Martin instead “Hey!” Chip chimes in. Vessey tells him that if it’s meant to be, he’ll win. But in order to check out Dreadnought up close… they can team together in the main event.

Rating: 73 [*]ANGLE: Trent Shaffer is with Riley McManus backstage. And he’s tired of trying to talk him out of it. But he’s now offering his services to help, but McManus says no. He has to do this himself. Win or lose, they’ll be no one to blame or thank but himself. This is, as they say, it. He’s banning Trent from ringside. Trent says he has found himself in a match against Fro Sure, a win in which will boost him back to the top… and he hasn’t put his career on the line to do it. McManus wishes him luck and says that they’ll talk after Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow, but he needs some time alone for now. The two hug. Rating: 84 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Fro Sure & Davis Wayne Newton vs. Dreadnought & Honest Frank Jr In a superb match, Davis Wayne Newton and Fro Sure defeated Dreadnought and Honest Frank Jr in 11:49 when Fro Sure pinned Honest Frank Jr with a Sure Thing.

EEE Battle Games 2025 Sunday, Week 4, November 2025 Weston Square Garden, New York City, New York Attendance: 30,357 GANG WARS MATCH: The Eagle & The Combat Club vs. Denny King & The Magic Boys In a decent match, The Eagle and The Combat Club defeated Denny King and The Magic Boys in 9:35 when Ray Cavalero pinned Newquay Brown with a Belly To Back Suplex. Rating: 49 Notes: The Combat Club were due some winning after a terrible year for them. They’ve lost so much momentum as to be the de facto whipping boys of the division, with enough talent and popularity to be important enough to lose. Denny King is someone we occasionally like to bring up, but he is way past his sell-by-date at this stage. The match itself was… poor. GANG WARS MATCH: Big Jon Walker & The Texas Roughriders vs. Joey Fili & Samoan Wrecking Crew In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Joey Fili and Samoan Wrecking Crew defeated Big Jon Walker and The Texas Roughriders in 9:43 when Joey Fili pinned Bradley Blaze after using a foreign object. Rating: 58 Notes: Joey Fili’s addition has raised the profile of the Samoan Wrecking Crew, although Loa Laki is struggling to improve despite years of experience. Afu has great upside and is increasing his talents weekly, so it was time to give them another shot at fame. The Texas Roughriders are a great new team, but you can’t push everyone all the time. Match was better than the last, but still disappointing. GANG WARS MATCH: Eddie Howard & The Fantastic Express vs. The Masked Mauler, Danny Hagman & Solomon Gold In a decent match, Eddie Howard and The Fantastic Express defeated The Masked Mauler, Danny Hagman and Solomon Gold in 9:52 when Zippy Deverell pinned Solomon Gold with a Spinning Bulldog. Rating: 74 Notes: Some measure of revenge for the Fantastics here and a pick-up win for Eddie Howard. He was someone we thought would be a big signing for us, but it didn’t quite work out. Still, because of his pedigree, we’d keep working on ways to get him involved where we could. As for poor old Mauler… he just can’t catch a break. GANG WARS MATCH: Seiji Jimbo, Valiant & Charlie Corner vs. The Keelan Family (Pepper Pelton & The Twin Powers) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Seiji Jimbo, Valiant and Charlie Corner defeated The Keelan Family (Pepper Pelton, Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Andrew Harper) in 10:26 when Seiji Jimbo submitted Andrew Harper with a Seiji Ocean Lock. Rating: 70 Notes: There is a chance, that I completely wasted Jimbo on his arrival. A look at his talent and history tells me he’s actually something of a big deal and I just had him jobbing to people for a month. I have at least learnt my lesson and he’s now on a win-streak that is seeing him climb the card quickly in no small part because of his incredible in-ring talent. The cracks are showing on The Keelan Family, especially The Twin Powers who are looking more and more like old men every day. GANG WARS MATCH: Fro Sure, Prime Time Jack Pryde & George Trapesi vs. Honest Frank Jr, Trent Shaffer & Riley McManus In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Fro Sure, Prime Time Jack Pryde and George Trapesi defeated Honest Frank Jr and Shaffer & McManus in 21:47 when Fro Sure pinned Trent Shaffer with a Sure Thing. Rating: 77 Notes: This is quite the collection of talent and a match which would headline most shows, but here in EEE its’ the secondary match. Considering the talent on display the match rating is actually a little disappointing. Even more disappointing to fans of Shaffer and McManus who saw them climbing high and then crumble away a bit. But things were tricky with the contract negotiations beginning soon. There was no point putting over workers who may not still be with us by the end of the year. BATTLE GAMES MATCH Aaron Andrews & Canada’s Finest (Davis Wayne Newton & The Fabulous DeColts) vs. Generation Alpha (Cameron Vessey, Dreadnought & The Stone Foundation) A lot is intertwining stories reach a head here as one of the most dominant factions in EEE history take on an attacking force of multiple former world champions and rookie sensations. The crowd are ready, the announce team are ready and the roof nearly comes off the place when The Ace and Canada’s Finest make their way to the ring. Aaron Andrews immediately decides to start the match himself, with Dreadnought stepping up for Alpha. So they slug it out and Andrews surprisingly wins that, but Dreadnought gets a backbreaker. Andrews suplexes him onto the top rope and slugs away in the corner before following with a knee. Dreadnought fires back with his own punches in the corner, but Andrews slips out and punts him from behind. They slug it out between the rings and Andrews clotheslines him into the other ring. Dreadnought puts him down with a gutbuster and slugs away on the mat. They slug it out and Christopher Stone is the next one in for Gen Alpha, but Andrews fights them off until Christopher beats him down with knees. Dreadnought and Christopher double-team Andrews with kicks on the ropes, but Andrews keeps fighting until Dreadnought hits him with a series of forearms while running back and forth. They beat Andrews down, but Jackson DeColt saves and it’s go time. Big boot for Christopher and he superkicks him into a lariat, then superkicks Dreadnought and suplexes Christopher onto Dreadnought. Christopher tries to slow him down with a guillotine, but Jackson slams him into the cage while Andrews recovers and beats on Dreadnought. The crowd love a spot with Jackson hitting Christopher with forearms between the rings while Christopher keeps bouncing up for more, and Michael Stone is next in for Gen Alpha. He hits Andrews with kicks on the cage and then batters Jackson down. The Stone Foundation with the high-low on Jackson and Stone Attack on Andrews, and Michael is confident that they’ve got this under control and he lets Cameron Vessey outside know it. Although then he makes the mistake of trash-talking Daniel DeColt from the ring, which feels like a bad idea. Generation Alpha beats down the babyfaces, but Daniel DeColt comes in and he looks pretty damned angry. Double bodypress for The Stone Foundation and then the slingshots onto them with another one, throwing them around. Finally all three Gen Alpha members manage to get him down and beat him on the mat. Jackson makes the save for his cousin and The Fabulous DeColts fight off Gen Alpha, but here comes Cameron Vessey as the last in for Gen Alpha. Generation Alpha all back off to one ring and we get a big slugfest, which leads to Michael going low on Daniel DeColt. And then, finally, Davis Wayne Newton enters the match to a monster pop. Pop-up powerbomb on Michael, package backbreaker on Christopher, and he powerbombs Michael onto Christopher for good measure. Vessey charges to avenge his stablemates, but gets hit with a Cutter. The Fabulous DeColts grab Dreadnought and throw him onto the other members of Alpha, and Andrews hits the draping DDT on Christopher. Everyone piles up in the ring and Andrews hits them all with a flying bodypress, but then Christopher dives off the top with a flying knee onto Daniel’s leg and goes to the kneebar. Jackson saves with a moonsault for two, but Michael moonsaults HIM for two. And then DWN with a swanton on Michael for two, but Vessey saves with a superkick. Daniel goes up and Dreadnought brings him with down with a top rope Demon Bomb, and The Stone Foundation hit the High-Low on him and pin, but are interrupted by a saving DWN. Another High-Low on Jackson, but DWN makes the save and then tries a Piledriver on Vessey on the middle of the rings. Vessey escapes and manages to hit a Vessey Driver II and everyone is dead in the ring. Generation Alpha are up and try to attack The Ace, but can’t keep Andrews down, and he comes back with running knees on Dreadnought and Michael on opposite sides of the ring. Vessey cuts him off with a Lariat, but Andrews gives him Running Knees as well. They head to the top and Vessey fights off Andrews, then climbs to the top of the cage while Jackson takes care of Dreadnought with a chokeslam. Christopher tries a Triangle Choke, but DWN saves with a frog splash on Christopher. Daniel DeColt powerbombs Michael Stone, but collapses through echaustion and we’re left with Cameron Vessey and Aaron Andrews slugging it out on top of the cage. And then Andrews brings him down with a hiptoss off the top of the cage and onto the prone body of Michael Stone. From the top The Ace lines up and hits a Flying Cross Body all the way into the ring and looks to have nearly killed Michael Stone, and he hooks the legs for the three count. In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton, Aaron Andrews and The Fabulous DeColts defeated Generation Alpha (Cameron Vessey, Dreadnought, Michael Stone and Christopher Stone) in a Battle Games match in 30:21 when Aaron Andrews pinned Michael Stone following a Flying Cross Body. Rating: 83 Notes: Woof. OVERALL RATING: 78 – 0.27 (137,834 buys) A healthy $1,123,804 profit means we head towards the end of the year in much better situation than we were in around Starclash II. But ahead was the month of negotiations with a number of our top stars. Things were going to get messy. Next time… The great resigning…

New York City… where the boss can only stay mad for so long… I’ll admit it, I’d forgotten about the goals set out by Larry. I was so in my own creative run that I hadn’t considered whether I’d kept certain workers at the right popularity OR if I’d hired people of the wrong style. My plan, as it always was, was to keep being successful and not sweat the small stuff. Monthly Merchandise: 1. Davis Wayne Newton - $423,793 (+$1,444) 2. Aaron Andrews - $292,047 (+$16,873) 3.

EEE All Star Wrestling #85 Friday, Week 1, November 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 10,198 [*]ANGLE: Generation Alpha, minus Dreadnought, are out. Cameron Vessey is here to celebrate with The Stone Foundation, and for those wondering Dreadnought is taking a well-earned break after the punishment he took on Sunday. But the important thing for now is that he managed to overcome all the odds to remain unpinned and YOUR reigning and defending World Heavyweight Champion. And here comes… Honest Frank Jr. He respects Vessey and the whole of Generation Alpha. And he notices that they’ve got all the titles except one. He understands that to be a member of Generation Alpha you need to be a Second Generation Superstar, which he is. And you need to be a winner, which he is. So he’s offering his services as a member on a trial basis. They ignored him a few months ago, but now they can’t ignore him. Because he’s the best there is… this brings out Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrew, Prime Time, DWN and Fro Sure. They beat up Honest Frank Jr and then storm the ring for a big brawl with Generation Alpha. Rating: 90 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Cali Slick In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Seiji Jimbo defeated Cali Slick in 4:57 by submission with a Seiji Ocean Lock. Rating: 42 [*]ANGLE: President Sam Keith makes the main event for tonight as Frank Jr and Cameron Vessey will take on Aaron Andrews and Fro Sure. We’ll also see The Stone Foundation defending the World Tag Team Titles against The Texas Roughriders and that match; is next. Rating: 75 [*]EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Texas Roughriders vs. The Stone Foundation (c) In a decent match, The Stone Foundation defeated The Texas Roughriders in 10:21 when Christopher Stone submitted Bradley Blaze with an Alabaster. The Stone Foundation make defence number one of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 56 [*]ANGLE: After the match The Fabulous DeColts continue to the beatdown of the champions, posing afterwards as DWN comes out to congratulate them. Rating: 78 [*]SINGLES MATCH: George Trapesi vs. Frantic Ali In a decent match, George Trapesi defeated Frantic Ali in 9:55 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. Rating: 66 [*]ANGLE: Eddie ‘The Destroyer’ is backstage and he came to EEE because he heard that this was where the Big Boys play. Well he’s a big boy, but he doesn’t play; he Destroys. When looking for someone to destroy, it’s important to target someone important… maybe even, the Heart and Soul of the company. So The Masked Mauler is first on the hit list. Rating: 83 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Marcus English vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton In a decent match, Pepper Pelton defeated Marcus English in 10:25 by pinfall with a Fisherman's Suplex. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: After the match, ‘The Perfect One’ gets on the microphone. Since he left Prime Time behind, he has been waiting for his shot at the Big Gold Belt. He’s a former Intercontinental Champion, a former tag team champion and a former Stomper Memorial Cup winner. Yet he sees these other people come in and take his spot. Time and time again. He’s sick of it. He’s noticed the latest; Seiji Jimbo has flown in from Japan and now he’s all anyone is talking about. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. He’s going to destroy the Japanese Superstar and book his place in the main event. Rating: 81 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Aaron Andrews & Fro Sure vs. Cameron Vessey & Honest Frank Jr In a superb match, Aaron Andrews and Fro Sure drew with Cameron Vessey and Honest Frank Jr in 9:54 when the referee lost control and stopped the match. Rating: 84 [*]OVERALL RATING: 74 – 3.35 (2,515,818 viewers) Bringing back the classic ‘I don’t want anyone to lose, so we’ll stick with a draw’ booking that is my trademark at this stage. After the show, Emma Chase of all people came to speak to me. She seemed a little upset, but mainly stoic. It turns out that she and Valiant had split up. Part of me wanted to ask when they’d actually started dating because I don’t remember seeing them actually talk to each other. But I thanked her for letting me know and promised to keep an eye on it. EEE All Star Wrestling #86 Friday, Week 2, November 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 9,537 [*]ANGLE: Up in the Executive Suite in the Balcony of The Empire Ballroom; Canada’s Finest are having the time of their life. They’re talking about how it won’t be long before Generation Alpha are destroyed at their hand. The DeColts have The Stones under control and Robby Griffin will deal with the annoying pipsqueak Chip Martin and that just leaves… The Monster Dreadnought. Davis Wayne Newton has his eyes set on the big lad, if he’s still part of their team. And like a big tree, he’ll topple him. Canada’s Finest then question whether Dreadnought will ever come back. Rating: 87 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Fantastic Express vs. Danny Hagman & Solomon Gold In a decent match, Danny Hagman and Solomon Gold defeated The Fantastic Express in 9:59 when Rafe Sashay was counted out while fighting Solomon Gold. Rating: 70 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey looks a little frustrated backstage. There’s still no sign of Dreadnought and he’s angrily yelling orders at The Stone Foundation and Bryan, when Eddie Howard wanders by looking for The Masked Mauler. Cameron yells at him to get out and The Destroyer does not take that well and the two men start fighting. Rating: 79 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Combat Club vs. Shaffer & McManus In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Shaffer & McManus defeated The Combat Club in 9:44 when Riley McManus pinned Ray Cavalero with a Slingshot Suplex. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: Prime Time Jack Pryde is being interviewed backstage by Angry Gilmore. He’s asked about the Intercontinental Title and his inability to win it back. Prime Time is understandable frustrated that his title is around the waist of the weaselly little suck-up Honest Frank Jr and now he sees he’s trying to parse that into membership to the Silver Spoon Club. Gilmore asks if he’ll be pursuing the Intercontinental Title and before he can answer Trent Shaffer interrupts. He grabs the microphone and starts ranting and raving about Aaron Andrews getting into the main event scene, despite losing to him and his partner a number of times. Prime Time watches momentarily and then clobbers Shaffer from behind and goes back to Gilmore to answer… “I’ll never stop chasing success.” Rating: 75 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom & Ben Williams vs. The Twin Powers In a poor match, The Twin Powers defeated Alistair Shufflebottom and Ben Williams in 5:31 when Andrew Harper pinned Ben Williams with Stereo Powerbombs. Rating: 45 [*]ANGLE: Big Jon Walker is now with Angry Gilmore. He’s asked about his past with the company, but he doesn’t care about the past. Being a big, proud Texan man, he’s just looking for a fight. A chance to prove he’s the toughest hombre in all of Empire Elite Entertainment. And he’s noticed that Joey Fili has appeared from… wherever he’s come from. Big Jon loves that test of strength that Polynesian wrestlers provide. So he’s looking to take him and his buddies on at the first opportunity. Rating: 80 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. Spike Sylvain In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Spike Sylvain in 10:22 by pinfall with a PrydeFall. During the match we also had Riley McManus run in and attack Pryde. Rating: 72 [*]ANGLE: Fro Sure is backstage in the locker room with Eddie Howard. He’s there to wish luck to The Destroyer and to tell him not to worry, he’s got his back and will accompany him to avoid interference from the rest of Generation Alpha. Howard thanks him. Rating: 87 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Eddie ‘The Destroyer’ Howard vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) In a good match, Cameron Vessey defeated Eddie Howard in 10:01 by pinfall with a Vessey Driver II following interference from The Masked Mauler. Cameron Vessey makes defence number nine of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 75 [*]OVERALL RATING: 69 – 3.23 (2,423,569 viewers) We were on a roll to Battle Games, but that main event was… not great. Eddie Howard had been something of a disappointment for me so far. I’d keep trying because of his exemplary CV, but blimey, what a stinker of a main event. Elsewhere The Stone Foundation informed me that their cousin David Stone had signed a big money contract with EILL of all people. I told them not to get any ideas and they smiled momentarily before raising an eyebrow. With the upcoming big negotiations with half the roster, I wanted to set expectations as low as possible before spending all of Larry’s money. EEE All Star Wrestling #87 Friday, Week 3, November 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 8,788 [*]ANGLE: Fro Sure is out and he’s feeling himself these days. It hasn’t been the year he’d hoped for. His past came back to haunt to him, so he beat that away. He then found himself face-to-face with THE Monster and… well the less said about that the better. And now he finds himself once again propelled towards the top. And the next natural step is gold. Honest Frank Jr may be trying to gain entry to Generation Alpha and that simply cannot be allowed to happen. Therefore he’s throwing out a challenge, for tonight to the Intercontinental Champion. He’s called The Funk… now he gets the Thunder. Rating: 87 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Charlie Corner & Valiant vs. Denny King & William Jetterson In a decent match, Charlie Corner and Valiant defeated Denny King and William Jetterson in 9:38 when Charlie Corner pinned William Jetterson with a Corner Cutter. Rating: 64 [*]ANGLE: The Fabulous DeColts have their first interview with Angry Gilmore. They’re men of history and they have been raised to hate The Stone Family. It’s not business to them, it’s personal and they’re programmed to destroy everything involving and relating to The Stones. Therefore joining Davis Wayne Newton was a no-brainer for them. And now, the great battle begins. They’re not going to stop until Generation Alpha are completely destroyed. Rating: 77 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Fabulous DeColts vs. The Twin Powers In a decent match, The Fabulous DeColts defeated The Twin Powers in 6:24 when Daniel DeColt pinned Bulldozer Brandon Smith with a Swooping Moonsault. Rating: 70 [*]ANGLE: Big Jon Walker has the backing of his Texan bretheran and tonight they want the Polynesians. Yee-haw! Rating: 63 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Big Jon Walker & The Texas Roughriders vs. Joey Fili & Samoan Wrecking Crew In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Big Jon Walker and The Texas Roughriders drew with Joey Fili and Samoan Wrecking Crew in 10:30 following a double disqualification. Rating: 56 [*]ANGLE: ‘The Perfect One’ is telling Seiji Jimbo to get his life together and use that broken English to find himself some friends, because at Battle Games he’s putting together an incredible team of fighters. Rating: 81 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Simon Ice vs. The Masked Mauler In a decent match, The Masked Mauler defeated Simon Ice in 10:47 by pinfall with a Piledriver. During the match we also had Eddie Howard run in and attack Mauler. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey isn’t worried about Canada’s Finest. But he wants it dealt with quickly. So he’s empowering Chip Martin to take the rest of the team and fight them, this Sunday… in the first ever eight-man Battle Games Match. Rating: 83 [*]EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Fro Sure vs. Honest Frank Jr In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Honest Frank Jr defeated Fro Sure in 11:35 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Honest Frank Jr makes defence number three of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 78 [*]OVERALL RATING: 79 – 3.71 (2,787,626 viewers) Yet another main event with less bang and more fizzle. It was incredible how much we’d grown that a 78 main event was a disappointment. But when even Fro Sure can’t break 80, there’s a problem. Slow news week though, so we charged into the go-home show. EEE All Star Wrestling #88 Friday, Week 4, November 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 8,867 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey, Chip Martin and The Stone Foundation are out with Bryan Vessey. They’re here to talk about the Battle Games match and how this is Chip Martin’s first real chance to shine in leadership. As they’re talking Canada’s Finest attack from the audience. It’s carnage in the ring and before long; Chip Martin is alone in the ring. The Fabulous DeColts hit him with a high-low and then Davis Wayne Newton puts his ankle in the chair and jumps off the top rope to smash Martin’s ankle to bits. This brins out Dreadnought, finally. He gets in the ring and after a quick look of anger towards Cameron Vessey, he attacks Canada’s Finest with a double-chokeslam to the DeColts. He then turns his attention to Robby Griffin who he tosses out of the ring, over the top rope and through the announce table. Rating: 84 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. Monty Trescarde In a decent match, Eddie Howard defeated Monty Trescarde in 10:02 by pinfall with a Crash And Burn. During the match we also had The Masked Mauler run in and attack Howard. Rating: 62 [*]ANGLE: After the match The Masked Mauler sets about assaulting Eddie Howard, but he fights back and before long to two brawl backstage. Rating: 67 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Combat Club vs. The Magic Boys In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Magic Boys defeated The Combat Club in 9:48 when Kingsley Christopher pinned JP Barnham by using underhanded tactics. Rating: 52 [*]ANGLE: President Keith is sad to inform us that Chip Martin and Robby Griffin have been taken to hospital and therefore are ruled out of the Battle Games match. He is in discussions with Davis Wayne Newton and Bryan Vessey about potential, suitable replacements. Rating: 79 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Joey Fili In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Joey Fili defeated The Eagle in 9:37 by pinfall with a Spinning Back Fist. Rating: 53 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey is furious about the treatment of Chip Martin. A young performer with a bright future. Honest Frank Jr comes in to offer his services, but Cameron says it’s not the time for ringers and cometh the hour, cometh the man. He’s The Man and he’s the fourth entrant to Generation Alpha’s team. Rating: 87 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Eddie Howard & Fro Sure vs. Samoan Wrecking Crew In a decent match, George Trapesi and Fro Sure defeated Samoan Wrecking Crew in 10:18 when Fro Sure pinned Loa Afu with a Sure Thing. The match also had a lot of interference: Honest Frank Jr targeted Fro Sure, JP Barnham attacked Afu, and finally Trent Shaffer interfered against Trapesi. Rating: 74 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton has demanded a match with Dreadnought cand The Man tonight. And he’ll be backed up by The Fabulous DeColts and their fourth man for Battle Games… Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews. Despite their history together, he had to go for the best man for the job. Nothing stops the war to destroy Alpha. Rating: 78 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Davis Wayne Newton & Aaron Andrews vs. Cameron Vessey & Dreadnought In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton and Aaron Andrews drew with Cameron Vessey and Dreadnought in 9:39 following a double disqualification after all members of Canada’s Finest and Generation Alpha storm the ring. Rating: 79 [*]OVERALL RATING: 79 – 2.98 (2,240,157 viewers) And with that, we set the final card. EEE Battle Games 2025 Battle Games Match: Davis Wayne Newton, Aaron Andrews & The Fabulous DeColts vs. Cameron Vessey, Dreadnought & The Stone Foundation Fro Sure, Prime Time Jack Pryde & George Trapesi vs. Honest Frank Jr, Trent Shaffer & Riley McManus Seiji Jimbo, Valiant & Charlie Corner vs. The Keelan Family (Pepper Pelton & The Twin Powers) Eddie Howard & The Fantastic Express vs. The Masked Mauler, Danny Hagman & Solomon Gold Big Jon Walker & The Texas Roughriders vs. Joey Fili & Samoan Wrecking Crew The Eagle & The Combat Club vs. Denny King & The Magic Boys Next time… it’s the last of the Big Four for 2025…

A tough couple of months mean DinoKea's vice-like grip has slipped, which only makes the remaining predictions more important. Big congratulations to this month's champion John Lions (what is this; season 1?) who drags himself back into contention after a difficult sophmore season so far.

EEE Supershow: Halloween Hell 2025 Sunday, Week 4, October 2025 Weston Square Garden, New York City, New York Attendance: 40,011 SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Cali Slick In a bout that had decent wrestling but non-existent crowd heat, Seiji Jimbo defeated Cali Slick in 9:49 by submission with a Seiji Ocean Lock. Rating: 54 Notes: A win. Finally a win for the International Star. He’s struggled since debuting, but this represents a turning point. Cali Slick is not a small man, so to have Jimbo defeat him was quite the visual. It was clean as a whistle too. Match was sub-optimal in quality, but comes off the back of zero storyline and almost no build-up. Plus everyone has to start somewhere. GANG WARS MATCH: Big Jon Walker & The Texas Roughriders vs. Monty Trescarde & New School Principals In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Big Jon Walker and The Texas Roughriders defeated Monty Trescarde and New School Principals in 10:08 when Bradley Blaze pinned Sandman Winks with a Dallas Drop. Rating: 57 Notes: This is where careers are made. In the fires of the lower-midcard. As teams and individuals build-up momentum from successful feuds they can move up the card and actually establish themselves. Neither The Roughriders or New School Principals were ready to take the next step yet, so having them feud among themselves was the best I could offer. But I liked both teams future if things broke right for them. SINGLES MATCH: Robby Griffin vs. Chip Martin In a decent match, Robby Griffin defeated Chip Martin in 10:14 by pinfall with a Flying Fist Drop. Rating: 62 Notes: Oh my. This was a disappointing match for two guys who I thought might be able to carve out a niche for themselves in the midcard. Chip Martin has somewhat disappointed since receiving his push alongside Generation Alpha and his lack of immediate success has meant the attempts to piggyback Griffin along with him were stuttering. Very disappointing from both men to be honest. EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Fabulous DeColts vs. The Stone Foundation vs. The Fantastic Express (c) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Stone Foundation defeated The Fabulous DeColts and The Fantastic Express in 10:28; the order of elimination was The Fabulous DeColts first, and then The Fantastic Express following interference from Danny Hagman. The Stone Foundation win the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 73 Notes: The big win for The Stone Foundation. They step in and claim victory against two top teams and looked every bit the champions in waiting. Their slow and steady ascent to championship material has been truly spectacular and they deserve a little run with the titles. I’d argue that The Fantastic Express are still the top team in the company, but you can’t have them on top all the time. SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. Danny ‘The Kid’ Hagman In a good match, Fro Sure defeated Danny Hagman in 10:02 when Danny Hagman was counted out after being attacked by Rafe Sashay. Rating: 76 Notes: Instant revenge for The Fantastic Express and a way to protect Danny in defeat to Fro Sure who absolutely needs to start clawing together some wins and momentum. The match was actually superb until this point as I question whether we should’ve had a clean finish. As Fro Sure matches always are. He’s the most talented man we have whose never even really sniffed a legitimate shot at the title. TAG TEAM MATCH: The Combat Club vs. The Twin Powers In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Twin Powers defeated The Combat Club in 9:45 when Andrew Harper pinned Ray Cavalero following Stereo Powerbombs. Rating: 65 Note: These two are sort of intertwined in my mind. Despite the title reigns of both, there is an element of being forgotten, or moved out of title consideration to them both. The Combat Club always struggled without being wrapped up in a bigger storyline, whereas The Twin Powers were well past their sell-by-date, but still had enough juice for the win. EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. The Eagle vs. Honest Frank Jr (c) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Honest Frank Jr defeated Prime Time Jack Pryde and The Eagle in 9:44 when Honest Frank Jr pinned The Eagle while using the ropes for leverage. Honest Frank Jr makes defence number two of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 70 Notes: Rather than running another match-up between these two, it made more sense to introduce a rogue element. And other than The Mauler, there’s nothing more rogue than The Eagle in EEE. Frank Jr cheats his way to pinning Eagle and retaining the title, despite domination throughout from Prime Time Jack Pryde. Can’t argue there. GANG WARS MATCH: Aaron Andrews, Charlie Corner & George Trapesi vs. Pepper Pelton, Trent Shaffer & Riley McManus In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Pepper Pelton and Shaffer & McManus defeated Aaron Andrews, Charlie Corner and George Trapesi in 9:52 when Riley McManus pinned Charlie Corner with a Slingshot Suplex. Rating: 77 Notes: ‘The Perfect One’ and others from The Keelan Family best the heroes in a traditional Gang Wars match. Match was really good throughout with no obvious weak links and the story told was one of a group of struggling anti-heroes finally beating the heroes, clean, in the middle of the ring. The fact that ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus got the pinfall over Charlie Corner showed our faith and respect for the man whose been with us since the start. EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Davis Wayne Newton vs. Valiant vs. Dreadnought vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) Four-way trashtalk to start and the faces clean house, but DWN immediately turns on Valiant and throws chops in the corner. Valiant comes back with a Michaelerman's suplex for two, but DWN gets a neckbreaker and Generation Alpha storms back in and dumps them. Vessey and Dreadnought slug it out, and Dreadnought clotheslines him to the floor, where Valiant adds a shot and sends him back in. Vessey gets tripped up by Newton, but Valiant comes over for the brawl and Vessey baseball slides everyone. DWN slams him on the floor and heads up for a moonsault onto the rest of the gang. Back in, it's Vessey and DWN, who clothesline each other. Valiant also comes back in, via the top, with a legdrop onto both of them. That gets two. Dreadnought catches Valiant with a lariat and stomps on everyone, then gets rid of Vessey and DWN and goes after Valiant. Backbreaker gets two. A Stomp and Kneedrop get two. Valiant comes back and slugs away in the corner, but charges and hits the post and he's out again. This brings DWN back in, and he throws chops at Dreadnought and gets the flying forearm, only to walk into a Leg Lariat from Vessey that gets two. Dreadnought rolls DWN up for two. Vessey and Dreadnought decide to stop and collaborate, whipping Newton into the corner and stomping away on him. Valiant crawls up and they launch him into the table to get rid of him again for a while. Gen Alpha take turns on DWN in the corner and get a double backdrop, and it's a double Boston Crab. Valiant breaks it up and starts throwing shoulderblocks, and that gets rid of DWN. Backdrop suplex for Vessey and the V-Split follows, but now DWN and Dreadnought team up and pull Valiant out of the ring and into the post. DWN sends Dreadnought into the post too, just because you can't trust him. He tries to piledrive Dreadnought through the table, but Vessey saves with a chair, and then turns on his own partner as well. Back in, Vessey charges with the chair, but gets caught in the STF as a result. Vessey makes the ropes, so Valiant catches the returning Dreadnought instead. DWN saves and cradles Valiant for two, then gets the forearm and makes the comeback with atomic drops on everyone. Vessey and Dreadnought get the heave-ho, and Newton goes up, but has to stop and take out Vessey. Flying elbow for Vessey instead, and another one for Dreadnought seems likely to follow, but Valiant follows him up and tries an Suplex off the top. Vessey and Dreadnought team up to bring them both down and it's a four-way car wreck. Vessey tries the Vessey Driver II on Valiant, but DWN breaks it up, so Dreadnought hits DWN with the Dread Bomb. Vessey DDTs Valiant for two. Vessey tries to spear Valiant, but runs into Dreadnought, and Valiant V-Splits Dreadnought, but is Superkicked by DWN, who then superkicks Vessey, who falls onto Valiant and pins him. In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Cameron Vessey defeated Valiant, Dreadnought and Davis Wayne Newton in 12:24 when Cameron Vessey pinned Valiant with a Superkick from Davis Wayne Newton. Cameron Vessey makes defence number eight of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 78 Notes: How is THAT for a finish? High-paced with all four men getting involved, forming alliance, betraying those alliances and doing everything they can to win the big one. The fact that the champion held on to the title throughout such a match is testament to his ability and a bit to his luck. His constant battles with Dreadnought also made a nice sub-story too. OVERALL RATING: 77 – 0.33 (166,283 buys) With the month ended and the year drawing to a close, despite all the issues we’d experienced and the sheer number of times I’d failed in tasks set by Larry, we were cruising along nicely. We made $1,229,891 profit despite the continued collapse of both the economy and the wrestling industry and I remained very hopeful heading towards the final two months of the year. If I could avoid anymore failures, everything would work out nicely. Next time… the build to Battle Games and a surprising break-up…

New York City… where The Fabulous Ones have arrived… Good profits in-bound and a very rosy-looking merchandise month: Monthly Merchandise: 1. Davis Wayne Newton - $422,295 (+$110,444) 2. Aaron Andrews - $275,174 (+$77,483) 3. Valiant - $209,157 (-$40,658) 4. Prime Time Jack Pryde - $201,143 (+$12,147) 5. Charlie Corner - $76,119 (+$408) 6. Zippy Deverell - $68,975 (+$6,689) 7. Fro Sure - $53,036 (-$10,557) 8. George Trapesi - $46,330 (-$309) 9. Cameron Vessey - $42,474 (+$62) 10. Rafe Sasay - $41,287 (+$1,577) I think it’s safe to say at this stage DWN has become full-blown face and is absolutely raking it in for both us and himself. And with the debut of The Fabulous Ones; who we will be de-masking shortly, the sky is the limit. EEE All Star Wrestling #81 Friday, Week 1, October 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 10,015 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is out with the two masked men from Sunday and they head to the ring. “Ladies and gentlemen; I’m baaaaack. Now, I’m not the World Heavyweight Champion, which is a shame… but, I have evened the odds. You see with Generation Alpha running roughshod and constantly holding everyone else down. So once again, I had to make some calls. Luckily for me… and all of you New Yorkers I still have a lot of sway. And I did, what I do best. You’ll notice these two sparkling specimens either side of me. Tanned, ripped and happy to join the team. I am a proud Canadian, so when The Stone Foundation left me to join Silver Spoon Daddy’s Boy, it hurt. It bruised my ego. So I thought to myself ‘Hey Champ, what you gonna do about that?’ and the answer came to me in an instant. So I called one of my friends up North and they pointed me down the road from here. To New York City Wrestling and the reigning champions there. Some know them as The Fabulous Ones. But we’re done pretending to be what we are not, aren’t we boys? Why don’t you take off the masks and show them who you are… where you come from… This is Jackson and Daniel, but you’ll all of heard their parents. Especially the treacherous Stones. Because these two are… The Fabulous DeColts. We are the new and improved Canada’s Finest, but being that Generation Alpha has around a million members, we’re not done yet. Alongside The Fabulous DeColts we also have one of the fastest-rising Canadian stars in the world of professional wrestling… Robby Griffin…” Generation Alpha now need to watch their backs, because they’re not the only show in town. Rating: 78 [*]EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. Honest Frank Jr (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Honest Frank Jr defeated Eddie Howard in 9:40 by pinfall with a handful of tights. During the match we also had Prime Time Jack Pryde run in and attack Honest Frank Jr. Honest Frank Jr makes defence number one of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 73 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr grabs a microphone. He’s back where he belongs, with the title around his waist. It was a hard fought battle against Prime Time, but he’s proven once again that he’s the best in the business at what he does. There’s a lot of talk about new eras being ushered in, but once again he’s being overlooked. But from this point on, he’s going to make sure that everyone learns his name once and for all. Rating: 86 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Big Jon Walker & The Texas Roughriders vs. Joey Fili & Samoan Wrecking Crew In a decent match, Big Jon Walker and The Texas Roughriders defeated Joey Fili and Samoan Wrecking Crew in 9:50 when Bradley Blaze pinned Joey Fili by using underhanded tactics. During the match we also had Monty Trescarde run in and attack Big Jon. Rating: 56 [*]ANGLE: After the match Monty Trescarde and the New School Principals hit the ring to deliver a swift beatdown to the Texans. Rating: 69 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Valiant vs. Frantic Ali In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Valiant defeated Frantic Ali in 9:43 by pinfall with a V-Split. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: After the victory, Valiant calls out Chip Martin. He is impressed that the lackey of Generation Alpha got himself a win. Shame it came from the hard work of ‘The Monster’ Dreadnought. Martin was an irritation to him before, but now that he’s a BIG STAR, he’s got all of his attention. Rating: 84 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Combat Club vs. Shaffer & McManus In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Shaffer & McManus defeated The Combat Club in 9:46 when Riley McManus pinned JP Barnham with a Slingshot Suplex following interference from Bulldozer Brandon Smith. During the match we also had Charlie Corner run in and attack McManus. Rating: 77 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Canada’s Finest (Davis Wayne Newton & The Fabulous DeColts) vs. Generation Alpha (Chip Martin & The Stone Foundation) In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Canada's Finest (Davis Wayne Newton, Daniel DeColt and Jackson DeColt) defeated Generation Alpha (Chip Martin, Michael Stone and Christopher Stone) in 10:15 when Jackson DeColt pinned Chip Martin with a DeColt Stampede. During the match we also saw Cameron Vessey run in and attack Newton, and Valiant also attack Martin. Rating: 80 [*]ANGLE: After the match Canada’s Finest & Generation Alpha get into a huge brawl. Rating: 83 [*]OVERALL RATING: 81 – 3.41 (2,609,487 viewers) Yes, we are igniting the long-running DeColt and Stone rivalry, but in actual in-ring wrestling rather than company wars. Robby Griffin was a decent pick-up, but he very much represents the counter-point to Chip Martin. It’s a shame I couldn’t get his brother too, but thems the breaks. The Fabulous DeColts Jackson DeColt & Daniel DeColt Entrance Music: Dvorak Symphony No. 9 The sons of Jack and Steve DeColt respectively; Jackson and Daniel form the third generation of wrestler superstars. Combined they are The Fabulous DeColts and bring with them a wealth of training, upside and experience for two such young performers. Originally signed straight to NYCW, they quickly rose through the impressive tag team ranks and won the NYCW Tag Team Titles within a year of debuting and have now progressed to the main roster. Much like their forebearers, they have been immediately embroiled in a feud with The Stones in a battle which should put both teams firmly on the map. Jackson is the talker and mat-based impresario, whereas Daniel is more of an athletic, high-flying master although struggles on the microphone. Aside from our new debutants, we received some hilarious and well-timed news as Ernest Youngman, current TCW World Heavyweight Champion had just signed a big-money contract with USPW. This was utterly hilarious news. EEE All Star Wrestling #82 Friday, Week 2, October 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 9,794 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton starts the show flanked by The Fabulous DeColts and Robby Griffin. He’s looking forward to Robby’s debut next week. But more than that, it’s so nice to have backup against Generation Alpha. Being a Lone Wolf is great, but sometimes the numbers are too much. But at Supershow: Halloween Hell 2025, he’s going to be finishing things in a steel cage and when the dust has settled, he’ll be back at the top of the mountain. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bryan Jewett vs. Dreadnought In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Dreadnought defeated Bryan Jewett in 10:26 by pinfall with a Dread Bomb. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner are looking to take out their frustrations against the biggest cowards in all of Empire Elite Entertainment. So they are telling the two of them to find a friend, because they’re going for a Gang War. Rating: 86 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom & Ben Williams vs. The Twin Powers In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Twin Powers defeated Alistair Shufflebottom and Ben Williams in 9:40 when Andrew Harper pinned Ben Williams following Stereo Powerbombs. Rating: 60 [*]ANGLE: The Combat Club launch a vicious attack against The Twin Powers and the rest of the Keelan Family backstage. With Harper and Bulldozer beaten down, the Club apply vicious submission moves to them. Rating: 76 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. Denny King In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Fro Sure defeated Denny King in 9:32 by pinfall with a Sure Thing. Rating: 79 [*]ANGLE: President Keith is in his office and he says while he enjoys the zeal of Davis Wayne Newton, the number one contender’s spot is not his to claim, but he appreciates the thought. In reality a lot goes into choosing the number one contender and actually a lot of that is to do with wins and losses. With that in mind, the two best records of recent months are former champion; Valiant and… the undefeated monster… Dreadnought. So at Halloween Hell, we’re going to have a Fatal Fourway match for the EEE World Heavyweight Title. Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. Cali Slick In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Cali Slick in 9:31 by pinfall with a PrydeFall. Rating: 81 [*]ANGLE: Prime Time Jack Pryde comes down to the ring. He takes a microphone and starts talking to the crowd, before eventually getting interrupted by Honest Frank Jr. The two are fired up and ready to tear each other limb from limb, when The Eagle appears and hits the ring and attacks them both. Rating: 86 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Cameron Vessey (c) In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Cameron Vessey defeated Seiji Jimbo in 10:01 by pinfall with a Vessey Driver II. During the match we also had Davis Wayne Newton run in and attack Vessey. Cameron Vessey makes defence number seven of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 80 [*]OVERALL RATING: 81 – 3.75 (2,818,463 viewers) And after all the good news, we then found out that we’d risen to big again. That is how you do that. We had a better footing this time and hopefully we could stay this size for at least six months and in that time save the money to increase the EEE Network and then if we ever did fall back down, we could attack it again from an even stronger position. Two steps forward, one step back. It might cause some issues, but we had to keep going. EEE All Star Wrestling #83 Friday, Week 3, October 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 9,794 [*]ANGLE: The Stone Foundation are out and they’re here to kick-off the show, because they want their shot at the tag team titles. So if those cowardly Fantastic Express will accept, they’re ready. This brings out The Fabulous DeColts. Jackson points out that wrestling history is littered with their families dominating. And now that legacy feud has been passed onto Empire Elite Entertainment. They’re not going anywhere until The Stone Foundation take them on in a match. Christopher Stone says they’re not here to give out charity matches to boost the importance of just anyone and they need to stay out of their way, or they’ll do to the DeColts what their parents did to their parents. Rating: 81 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Robby Griffin vs. Cali Slick In a decent match, Robby Griffin defeated Cali Slick in 6:27 by pinfall with a Flying Fist Drop. Rating: 65 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bradley Blaze vs. The Masked Mauler In a poor match, Bradley Blaze defeated The Masked Mauler in 6:30 by pinfall with a Dallas Drop. Rating: 67 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Charlie Corner vs. Spike Sylvain In a decent match, Charlie Corner defeated Spike Sylvain in 9:41 by pinfall with a Corner Cutter. Rating: 70 [*]ANGLE: Trent Shaffer and Riley McManus are going around backstage to find themselves a third member for the Gang Wars match. They come across The Keelan Family and Trent doesn’t seem that keen on dealing with his old manager, but Riley convinces him. After a suspicious back-and-forth, Keelan agrees to loan ‘The Perfect One’ to the two of them for the match. Rating: 92 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. William Jetterson In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, The Eagle defeated William Jetterson in 10:30 by pinfall with a Freedom Slam. Rating: 51 [*]ANGLE: Danny ‘The Kid’ Hagman heads into the locker room where The Fantastic Express and Cousin Solly are playing video games. He comments on the upcoming World Tag Team Title match and how he’s not sure The Fantastic Express have enough help. He’s there to offer the services of Billy Keelan to them. They laugh and tell The Kid to take a hike and go get some backup. They’re having a Gang Wars match, tonight. Cousin Solly looks less keen. Rating: 81 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Marcus English vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton In a decent match, Pepper Pelton defeated Marcus English in 9:31 by pinfall with a Michaelerman's Suplex. Rating: 62 [*]ANGLE: In President Keith’s office, Cameron Vessey and Dreadnought have come for a meeting and the normally cool Cameron Vessey is visibly angry. He says defending the title against three men at once is such an obvious attempt to get the title off of him. The President says he understands the champion’s frustration, and while facing three men is tough, perhaps he could talk to his own bodyguard and ask him to pull out. Cameron looks at Dreadnought, who very slowly shakes his head. Rather than argue further, Vessey tries to ask to have one of the others removed, but Keith points out it out of his hands. Rating: 87 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Solomon Gold & The Fantastic Express vs. The Keelan Family (Danny Hagman & The Twin Powers) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Keelan Family (Danny Hagman, Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Andrew Harper) defeated Solomon Gold and The Fantastic Express in 10:29 when Danny Hagman submitted Solomon Gold with a Steel Curtain after interference from Billy Keelan. During the match we also had The Combat Club run in and attack Harper and Bulldozer. Rating: 71 [*]OVERALL RATING: 76 – 3.66 (2,745,719 viewers) All that was left was the go-home show for Halloween Hell. And a slow news week let me rattle through plans in double-quick time. EEE All Star Wrestling #84 Friday, Week 4, October 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 9,491 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey is out with Dreadnought. He’s spoken to The Monster and they’re both on the same page, aren’t we? Dreadnought stands impassively and Cameron opts not to push the matter. So they’re treating this as a tag team match. And they will win and Vessey will be the one getting the pinfall. Isn’t that right Dready? Dreadnought again doesn’t move. This brings out Valiant and Davis Wayne Newton together. They’ve been the worst of enemies before, so they know exactly what’s what for the title match. But it’s going to be fun watching the partners in the ring fighting one another, because they’ll bet them a shiny dollar that they do. Rating: 85 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Danny ‘The Kid’ Hagman In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Danny Hagman defeated Seiji Jimbo in 9:57 by submission with a Steel Curtain. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: After the match Cousin Solly appears at ringside. Before anything can happen the rest of The Keelan Family appear to support Hagman and Solly retreats. Rating: 72 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Combat Club vs. New School Principals In a decent match, New School Principals defeated The Combat Club in 9:56 when Sandman Winks submitted Ray Cavalero with a Deep Sleep. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: After the match Big Jon Walker and The Texas Roughriders hit the ring and beatdown New School Principals. Rating: 59 [*]SINGLES MATCH: George Trapesi vs. Frantic Ali In a decent match, George Trapesi defeated Frantic Ali in 9:37 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. Rating: 72 [*]ANGLE: After the match, Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner come down to the ring and ask Trapesi to be their third in the Gang Wars match and it’ll be a good chance to get his hands on The Perfect One. Trapesi doesn’t mind beating up the other two too. There’s a bit of history there. The Ace asks for tips for the main event match against The Talent tonight. Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bryan Jewett vs. Monty Trescarde In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Monty Trescarde defeated Bryan Jewett in 10:12 by pinfall with a Cash Bonus. Rating: 55 [*]ANGLE: The Fantastic Express are backstage and they’re questioning was Cousin Solly was doing? He says he’s aiming to give a beatdown to Hagman. They tell him not to do that, it’s not a good idea to make too many enemies. He needs to use his head a little more. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Aaron Andrews drew with Trent Shaffer in 10:03 following a double disqualification after Riley McManus, Pepper Pelton, Charlie Corner and George Trapesi rushed the ring. Rating: 89 [*]OVERALL RATING: 86 – 3.83 (2,874,974 viewers) Jimbo gets added to the roster official. Seiji Jimbo Entrance Music: Hold Out From the Land of the Rising Sun comes the mysterious and enigmatic Seiji Jimbo. Debuting in Empire Elite Entertainment as a high-profile International Star, Jimbo has struggled to match the incredible pace and talent of the New York City-based company. But with a personal trainer helping him improve daily it won’t be long before success follows the technically-gifted, tough-hitting superstar. Once he has settled, the sky will be the limit for him.

It seems that I accidantlly caught you all out with some of the dodgiest booking of all time. I feel apologies are in order here as I've effectively tanked all your percentages, which was not the intention at all. With that being said; congrats to John Lions who bursts back into the top 3 overall and is now tied with KyTeran. Hopefully next month is a little easier on the dodgy finishes.

EEE Supershow: Vengeance Sunday, Week 4, September 2025 Weston Square Garden, New York City, New York Attendance: 38,395 TAG TEAM MATCH: Valiant & Fro Sure vs. Chip Martin & Dreadnought In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Chip Martin and Dreadnought defeated Valiant and Fro Sure in 9:59 when Chip Martin pinned Fro Sure with a Super Kick after Bryan Vessey interfered. Rating: 80 Notes: Big win for Chip Martin, riding off the back of the dominance of Dreadnought. Fro Sure takes the loss, because he’s stuck in that horrible middle-ground between championship contender and midcard workhorse. He’s definitely too charismatic to remain in the role for too long, but for now we’d use him to help elevate a new generation of midcard workers and Chip Martin was a good choice. Match was amazing, as Fro Sure matches normally are. SINGLES MATCH: Seiji Jimbo vs. Danny ‘The Kid’ Hagman In a decent match, Danny Hagman defeated Seiji Jimbo in 7:59 by pinfall with a Missing Piece after Billy Keelan interfered. Rating: 56 Notes: Another match, another heel win and another interference. Were we over-doing it? Almost certainly. I’d brought Seiji Jimbo in to see if we could recreate the rise of Magnum Kobe and while he’s lost a few matches, broadly he’s been impressive. This however was a disappointment. Still, The Kid needed a match and a win and he got one. EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Honest Frank Jr vs. Prime Time Jack Pryde (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Honest Frank Jr defeated Prime Time Jack Pryde in 10:30 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics. Honest Frank Jr wins the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 74 Notes: Prime Time Jack Pryde’s run had been excellent and allowed him to break away from the tag team ranks properly. But I had a plan for Honest Frank which would see us through the rest of the year and it begins here, with the tainted victory. Good match as expected from these two. EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Stone Foundation vs. The Fantastic Express (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Stone Foundation in 9:53 when Rafe Sashay pinned Christopher Stone with a Fantastic Flashbang following interference from two masked men. The Fantastic Express make defence number eight of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 77 Notes: The Fantastic Express hold onto the titles thanks to the two masked invaders. Anyone whose subscribed to the EEE Network will recognise the builds of the two men as The Fabulous Ones (former NYCW Tag Team Champions). But for those who only follow EEE, it’s going to be a nice surprise. An absolutely incredible match, which proves once and for all that The Stone Foundation are firmly established as a top tag team. ANGLE: After the match, the two masked men from the show before lay an almighty beatdown on The Stone Foundation after the match, but bail when Dreadnought, Chip Martin and Bryan Vessey run down for support. Rating: 82 Notes: INTRIGUE! SINGLES MATCH: Big Jon Walker vs. Monty Trescarde In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Monty Trescarde defeated Big Jon Walker in 10:30 by disqualification. Rating: 57 Notes: Our attempt to rebrand Big Jon Walker continue as he dishes out a Dreadnought-like rage DQ finish for whipping Monty Trescarde like a Government mule. The match was not great, but it helped develop the character of Big Jon Walker. In retrospect a clean pinfall win would’ve done a better job. GANG WARS MATCH: George Trapesi & The Combat Club vs. The Keelan Family (Pepper Pelton & The Twin Powers) In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Keelan Family (Pepper Pelton, Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Andrew Harper) defeated George Trapesi and The Combat Club in 9:33 when Pepper Pelton pinned JP Barnham while using the ropes for leverage. Rating: 71 Notes: ‘The Perfect One’ is never above some cheating and they get a good win. Looking back at the booking of this show, I wondered why I was so opposed to clean finishes? A desperate attempt to keep feuds running on perhaps? Regardless of that, this match was decent but would probably have been better if the heels had just won outright. SINGLES MATCH: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Riley McManus defeated Aaron Andrews in 23:50 by disqualification after The Ace was caught using a chair laid out by Riley. Rating: 84 Notes: A win for The Georgia Bulldog. What a time to be alive. Seriously though, from cheap finish to tainted to cheap again. Will anyone on this show ever win outright? This is actually an important match for McManus however as he’s just been floating around the company for years with limited big wins to his name. But this is a nice step in the right direction. Not a big step because it was DQ. But a win is a win is a win. SINGLES MATCH: Charlie Corner vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Trent Shaffer defeated Charlie Corner in 9:56 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Rating: 73 Notes: Well… of course it’s a foreign object. Why not? Amazed I didn’t choose a Dusty Finish too. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer, like Riley McManus has been something of a top-tier whipping boy for ages. So it’s nice to see him get a win, even if he had to cheat to do it. EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) Vessey brings a Canadian flag with him, which he proceeds to wipe his backside with and then throws to the ground and stamps on. Newton attacks Vessey before the bell and they brawl into the crowd, with DWN pounding the hell out of Vessey. Vessey rams DWN to the stairs and chokes him out with a flag, then they brawl back into the crowd again, and down the aisle to the entranceway. Vessey takes a suplex on the concrete. DWN tosses him over a barricade and nails him with a fire extinguisher. They get into the ring and the bell finally rings to start the match. DWN chokes Vessey out with the flag of Quebec, legdrops him, and gives him an inverted atomic drop. Vessey comes back with the flying forearm. He punts DWN right in the head. They fight outside the ring again and the Champ drops DWN on the steps, then rams the Canadian flag in DWN’s throat. Cam throws him back in and hits an axehandle off the top, then applies a front-facelock. DWN tosses him off to escape. Vessey takes control with a slam and a bodypress off the top, reversed for a two count. DWN kicks at Vessey’s knee and applies a ringpost Figure-Four. The Canadian Hero continues working on the leg and applies a standard Figure-Four. Vessey reverses and DWN makes the ropes. Cross-corner whip and Newton hits a Legsweep followed by a Snap Suplex, but Vessey pulls the referee in the way of the elbow off the second rope. Seizing the momentum Vessey rakes the eyes, and Generation Alpha are out while the ref is still down. They beat DWN mercilessly and scatter as the two masked men from earlier appear for the Pier Six Brawl. The referee comes to as Vessey applies the STF of all things, but it’s too late and the referee calls for the bell. In an exceptional match, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Cameron Vessey in 23:54 when Cameron Vessey was disqualified when Generation Alpha ran in and attacked Davis Wayne Newton and the two masked men came in afterwards to defend DWN and chase off his attackers. Rating: 82 Notes: It’s the perfect card. Every single one of them a dodgy finish. I had to figure out a way to not do this again, but I had considered why. It was the upcoming massive contract negotiations. I was worried that I might suddenly lose a lot of worker, so I think I was trying to limit the potential losses. I would have to make sure not have so many contracts expire at the same time again. OVERALL RATING: 82 – 0.33 (165,808 buyers) Good event despite the nonsense finishes and in a blast from the past after the show, I learnt that we’d lost to TCW for the first time ever as they ran a main event where Ernest Youngman beat Masked Stranger to win his first TCW World Heavyweight Title. With Youngman on top, anything was possible for TCW. Dammit. Next time… I had to stop being controlled by fear and two new workers join us from NYCW…

Cool, thank you.

Does anyone remember the details of the Yakuza scandal around WLW? Like rough dates and info on the aftermath?

New York City… where evolution is a part of life… While I read through the monthly reports on profit and loss (we had invested a lot in many facets of the business) and the merchandising, Honest Frank Jr paid me a visit. With his dad. Honest Frank Sr was still working as a manager and road agent in NYCW, so this wasn’t so unusual. They asked for a brief chat and Junior explained that he was done being an impactful wrestler and wondered if switching to entertainer might help him in the long run? I told him I thought it probably would and so we agreed. Monthly Merchandise: 1. Davis Wayne Newton - $311,851 (-$14,613) 2. Valiant - $249,815 (-$90,657) 3. Prime Time Jack Pryde - $188,996 (+$12,553) 4. Aaron Andrews - $197,691 (-$7,458) 5. Charlie Corner - $75,711 (-$1,452) 6. Fro Sure - $63,593 (+$3,915) 7. Zippy Deverell - $62,286 (+$15,026) 8. George Trapesi - $46,639 (+$1,074) 9. Cameron Vessey - $42,412 (+$2,462) 10. Rafe Sasay - $39,710 (+$7,205) Davis Wayne Newton had exploded. I couldn’t believe it. Combine that with solid growth from Prime Time and The Ace and we barely missed the complete collapse of Valiant’s figures. Nice. After the last month’s main event, I wanted to focus on a rematch between DWN and Vessey. EEE All Star Wrestling #77 Friday, Week 1, September 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,493 [*]ANGLE: Sabotage plays and here comes the Undisputed Intercontinental Champion… Prime Time Jack Pryde. He’s living proof that when you look good, you fight good and when you fight good, you win good, and when you win good… you get paid good. And he slaps the belt to cheers. But here comes Honest Frank Jr. He wants Prime Time to know that he’s done well. Frank never thought someone without wrestling in his blood like The Legend Killer would be able to hold the title for as long as he was, but he’s risen above his pauper roots to make a moderate success of himself. But enough is enough. It’s time that the Second Generation Superstar took his rightful place back with the title. Prime Time responds saying he thought all the silver spoon second-generation performers were all in Generation Alpha. How come Frank isn’t? Not good enough? This touches a nerve and Frank Fr is throwing one his temper tantrums and then challenges Prime Time to a match. The champion responds that they should compare friends, so why not a Gang Wars match tonight… and to help encourage him… these are his partners. Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner launch a jump-attack on Frank. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: George Trapesi vs. Spike Sylvain In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, George Trapesi defeated Spike Sylvain in 9:52 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. Rating: 68 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr is backstage holding his neck and looking for ‘friends’ to help him. Shaffer and McManus don’t have any interest in helping him, but they do want to beat the snot out of The Ace and Corner. So they’ll have his back. Rating: 85 [*]EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Samoan Wrecking Crew vs. The Fantastic Express (c) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated Samoan Wrecking Crew in 10:21 when Rafe Sashay pinned Loa Laki with a Fantastic Flashbang. The Fantastic Express make defence number seven of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 71 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is live from a hospital bed. He’s once again fallen foul of being a lone wolf, a solitary soldier, a hero among boys. Generation Alpha, like those before it are a consistent pain, but this isn’t his first rodeo. And that wasn’t his only shot at the gold. Cameron Vessey needs to watch himself, because the Canadian Hero is coming back; very, very soon. Rating: 84 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Valiant & Fro Sure vs. Chip Martin & Dreadnought In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Valiant and Fro Sure defeated Chip Martin and Dreadnought in 10:11 when Fro Sure pinned Dreadnought after using a foreign object. Rating: 72 [*]ANGLE: Backstage The Keelan Family jump George Trapesi and beat him down until The Combat Club make the save. Rating: 86 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom & Ben Williams vs. New School Principals In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, New School Principals defeated Alistair Shufflebottom and Ben Williams in 7:35 when Sandman Winks submitted Ben Williams with a Deep Sleep. During the match we also had Big Jon Walker run in and attack Sandman. Rating: 47 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey is with the rest of Generation Alpha and watching events unfold from the Executive Suite. They celebrate by toasting the champion and to the future… which is them. Rating: 82 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Prime Time Jack Pryde, Aaron Andrews & Charlie Corner vs. Honest Frank Jr, Trent Shaffer & Riley McManus In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde, Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner drew with Honest Frank Jr and Shaffer & McManus in 9:37 following a double count out. Rating: 85 [*]OVERALL RATING: 84 – 2.37 (1,779,356 viewers) Absolutely no arguing with that main event. Get in there boys. Slight downside was Valiant suffering whiplash neck strain, but he’d recover soon. In wrestling news the SWF World Heavyweight had been won by Remo, who is never the wrong person to put the title on. EEE All Star Wrestling #78 Friday, Week 2, September 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,237 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey is out to the ring with Generation Alpha. With Davis Wayne Newton still in hospital, he doesn’t have much on. But The Stone Foundation have a number one contender’s match coming up in a few minutes. Having solidified his role as the World Heavyweight Champion; The Man wants the rest of his followers to claim gold too. It begins with the World Tag Team Titles. George Trapesi and The Combat Club come out and Trapesi is here to even the odds and make sure The Combat Club aren’t stopped from outside on their quest to regain the tag team titles. And if The Man has nothing else on, he’ll happily claim the number one contenders slot and beat him silly… tonight! Vessey tells him he’s had his chance in the past. So, the answer is no. Rating: 83 [*]NO.1 CONTENDERS MATCH: The Combat Club vs. The Stone Foundation In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Stone Foundation defeated The Combat Club in 8:54 when Michael Stone submitted JP Barnham with a Stone Ankle Stretch. Rating: 73 [*]ANGLE: After the match the brawl is on between the two groups and with The Combat Club dealing with The Stone Foundation and Chip Martin; Trapesi lines up Vessey and delivers the biggest Star Maker Lariat to date, knocking Vessey silly. He only stops the assault when Dreadnought gets in the ring to offer his body as protection to the champ. Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bradley Blaze vs. The Masked Mauler In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Bradley Blaze defeated The Masked Mauler in 6:20 by pinfall with a Dallas Drop. Rating: 59 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Frantic Ali In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Eagle defeated Frantic Ali in 7:53 by pinfall with a Freedom Slam. Rating: 56 [*]ANGLE: Backstage, Trapesi and The Combat Club are returning to the Locker Room when The Keelan Family launch a vicious assault on them with The Perfect One targeting the leg of Trapesi. Rating: 80 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. Honest Frank Jr In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Honest Frank Jr defeated Eddie Howard in 9:36 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage. Rating: 62 [*]ANGLE: President Keith announces that after the showdown at the top of the hour, he now wants to see George Trapesi against ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey for the World Heavyweight Title… tonight. Rating: 85 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. Cali Slick In a superb match, Aaron Andrews defeated Cali Slick in 10:24 by pinfall with a Standing Hot Shot. Rating: 85 [*]ANGLE: Billy Keelan is entering the private room of the World Tag Team Champions with Danny Hagman in tow. The two approach The Fantastic Express and Cousin Solly. Keelan is here on behalf of The Twin Powers. He’s requesting they get added to the title match at the next Supershow. Cousin Solly gets up to speak, but Rafe steps in and holds a finger to Solly’s mouth to shut him up. He tells them that come into the champs locker room and don’t even bring The Twin Powers with them. Disrespectful. And you bring this chump instead and he gestures at Hagman who moves to start a fight before Keelan calms him down. Keelan promises to go to the President about this. Hagman points at The Fantastic Express threateningly before he leaves. Zippy, who has missed the entire interaction offers Rafe some Alabama BBQ meats he’s been cooking. Rating: 88 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: George Trapesi vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) In an exceptional match, Cameron Vessey defeated George Trapesi in 10:30 by pinfall with a Vessey Driver II following interference from Pepper Pelton. Cameron Vessey makes defence number five of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 81 [*]ANGLE: After match Davis Wayne Newton is attacking Cameron Vessey as Generation Alpha storm to protect the champion. Meanwhile Trapesi is beating down ‘The Perfect One’ and this brings out The Keelan Family too and before too long the ring of full of wrestlers attacking one another. Rating: 91 [*]OVERALL RATING: 83 – 2.43 (1,825,475 viewers) A nice big brawl ending following a great title match. Trapesi gets the boost of fighting his long-term nemesis, while losing because of his new one. DWN is back and has vengeance in his heart from the beatdown at Summer Slamboree. EEE All Star Wrestling #79 Friday, Week 3, September 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,514 [*]ANGLE: President Keith is out to announce that there will be a number one contenders match tonight between Davis Wayne Newton and one of either Trent Shaffer or Riley McManus. They can decide amongst one another. The two immediately play rock, paper, scissors and Trent wins. Riley looks upset and demands a Best of Three, but Trent has already shaken President Keith’s hand. Rating: 83 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Big Jon Walker vs. Denny King In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Big Jon Walker defeated Denny King in 9:47 by pinfall with a Monster DDT. Rating: 53 [*]ANGLE: Valiant and Fro Sure enter President Keith’s office. They want a match at the Supershow against Dreadnought and that damn pipsqueak Chip Martin. President Keith allows them the request, but to their surprise Dreadnought is behind them and he unleashes Hell on both men with Chip Martin egging him on. Rating: 82 [*]GANG WARS: Ben Williams, Alistair Shufflebottom & Bryan Jewett vs. Pepper Pelton & The Twin Powers In a decent match, The Keelan Family (Pepper Pelton, Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Andrew Harper) defeated Ben Williams, Alistair Shufflebottom and Bryan Jewett in 7:55 when Andrew Harper pinned Ben Williams with a Spike Slam.

Prime Time Jack Pryde makes defence number seven of the EEE Intercontinental.

Rating: 86 [*]NO.1 CONTENDERS MATCH: Davis Wayne Newton vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Trent Shaffer in 10:20 by submission with a STF after interference from Aaron Andrews. Rating: 82 [*]OVERALL RATING: 81 – 2.98 (2,001,451 viewers) The Shaffer, McManus, Corner and Andrews feud continues as I question whether there are too many interference endings to matches. But the audience seem to like them, so who am I to change things about. This isn’t MMA, it’s a soap opera… with chairshots. There seemed to be little going on in the world, so we roll on. EEE All Star Wrestling #80 Friday, Week 4, September 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,662 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is feeling himself and he’s up in the Executive Suite Balcony once again. He’s wearing a brand new sequined robe and being fed grapes by an attendant. Life, it seems, is very good for DWN. He answers his mobile and tells the person the other end that address for the Weston Square Garden… he then says it’s Sunday… and then finishes with ‘See you then.’ Rating: 87 [*]SINGLES MATCH: JP Barnham vs. Cali Slick In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Cali Slick defeated JP Barnham in 9:38 by pinfall with a Slick-Back following interference from Bulldozer Brandon Smith. Rating: 68 [*]ANGLE: Backstage Valiant enters Generation Alpha’s locker room, bold as brass. He ignores everyone else and grabs Chip Martin round the neck and pushes him against a wall, before he’s able to control himself. “Oh,” he says. “I’m angry. I’ve not done anger before… I don’t know what happens now. Watch yourself kid… we’re in uncharted territory.” Dreadnought then launches a vicious attack on behalf of Chip, but Valiant is able to hold his own against The Monster before finally being beaten back out of the room. Rating: 76 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. Danny ‘The Kid’ Hagman In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Danny Hagman defeated Eddie Howard in 10:01 by pinfall with a Missing Piece. Rating: 68 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr has a microphone and is standing in the centre of the ring. “Seven months. It’s been a long seven months since the Intercontinental Title was stolen from me. I was never pinned, I never submitted and yet somehow… I lost the title. President Keith has been holding me down, giving title shots to every Tom, Dick and Danny before giving me the rightful shot. But now, after seven months, it’s my chance. I got caught up in the drama around the implosion of the Cross River Connection, I’ve been betrayed by those closest to me as Dreadnought joined a group without me and Big Jon is now… a cowboy or something. But y’know what, I’m still here. Prime Time Jack Pryde; I don’t like you. I’ve never liked you. You’re the most overrated piece of trash in professional wrestling. And at Supershow: Vengeance, I will get exactly what. Vengeance. And when all is said and done, every loser around these parts is going to have to recognise that Honest Frank Jr is the real deal.” Rating: 85 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Texas Roughriders vs. Samoan Wrecking Crew In a decent match, The Texas Roughriders defeated Samoan Wrecking Crew in 7:43 when Bradley Blaze pinned Loa Afu with a Lasso Whiplash.

DinoKea does manage to retain the top spot, but it was a great month for the two winners who climb back into contention.

EEE Summer Slamboree 2025 Sunday, Week 4, August 2025 Weston Square Garden, New York City, New York Attendance: 37,871 SINGLES MATCH Big Jon Walker vs. Honest Frank Jr Having left his former employee behind and had a rather drastic overhaul on look and style, Big Jon Walker comes to the ring in his first major singles match-up since the split wearing chaps, a cowboy hat and chewing tobacco. The only existing storyline between them is their former affiliation, but with this being the second biggest card of the year, it made sense to get them involved. Frank has struggled recently by being caught in the middle of the Prime Time and Danny Hagman feud, but has managed to increase his overall popularity in the same period. But he struggled here as Big Jon Walker brought a series of impressive and hard-hitting power moves on the former Intercontinental Champion. Despite Frank’s ability to escape defeat, but fails here to escape the big Cowboy hands of Jon and falls foul of the Lasso DDT. In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Big Jon Walker defeated Honest Frank Jr in 8:20 by pinfall with a Lasso DDT. Rating: 59 Notes: Something of a star-making performance for Big Jon, as he defeats established star Honest Frank Jr clean as a whistle to kick-off the second biggest show of the year. I had some pretty chunky plans for him and The Texas Roughriders going forward as I think a dose of Big Hoss Texan energy is needed in our New York based company. The match was disappointing however, but we could work on improving Big Jon’s skills over time. TAG TEAM MATCH The Animal & The Eagle vs. Frantic Ali & Cali Slick Reunited following Animal Harker’s surprise return at Empire Royale; the long-mooted Animal and Eagle pairing are attempting to make a name for themselves in Empire Elite Entertainment. The West Coasters have struggled to get a footing following their destruction at the hands of Fro Sure and Eddie Howard. This match continues to follow the formula of their respective careers. It’s a quick-fire match, mainly between The Eagle and Cali Slick, with the EEE original bringing the thunder to the West Coast newcomer. With the crowd mildly interested, Eagle tags in Animal Harker before leaping after Frantic Ali and The Animal delivers his patented Stump Piledriver for the victory. In a decent match, The Animal and The Eagle defeated Frantic Ali and Cali Slick in 6:23 when Animal Harker pinned Cali Slick with a Stump Piledriver. Rating: 61 Notes: If I’m honest, I was expecting a bit more between these two teams. Match was slow and plodding, mainly because Animal Harker is a broken man after a long career brutalising his body over in Japan. Still, I was determined to give The Eagle something of note to do and a tag team run was the answer. Cali Slick and Frantic Ali however I’m struggling with. Much like many before, I had a storyline lined up for them and had hoped that they might separate themselves from the pack. But broadly it hasn’t happened. SINGLES MATCH Eddie Howard vs. The Masked Mauler Eddie Howard has been slowly finding his feet with us after his shocking debut and victory alongside Fro Sure against The West Coast Players. Part of that progression has brought him up against the self-proclaimed Heart and Soul of EEE; The Masked Mauler. The two men, despite being gifted fighters with loads of upside struggle in the planned Hoss Fight between them. It’s a relatively short match with Mauler giving a decent account of himself. But The Destroyer is just too much for him and finishes with a Crash and Burn. In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Eddie Howard defeated The Masked Mauler in 8:14 by pinfall with a Crash And Burn. Rating: 52 Notes: You know sometimes you bring guys in based on their name. And their talent is good enough to back that up, but you struggle to find something meaningful for them to do? That’s Eddie Howard. In retrospect, I probably should’ve tried to pick up DC Rayne too, but he’s far more popular (and expensive). The Masked Mauler is a different problem all together. I’ve held him in the midcard for too long and now he feels completely established there. He’s been rather aimlessly floating following his feud with The Eagle and I have no clear idea of where to go with him now? Bad booking by me and something I didn’t really know how to get out of without sacrificing another worker. SINGLES MATCH George Trapesi vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton The Former LA Star, Former Star and now former protégé of Bryan Vessey has been through a mission of self-discovery for years. And every time he finds his footing, he slips back down to start again. There is no more focused and troubled individual in the company and no one with a bigger heart and desire to become better than he was the day before. ‘The Perfect One’ meanwhile has shown himself to be less than perfect following his decision to turn on his partner and friend. Despite a flirtation with the Intercontinental Title, he lost it to Prime Time and now finds himself in the cross-hairs of a man with vengeance on his mind. In a battle between two men who really need to start rebuilding themselves, the desperation shows early. Fast-paced, hard-hitting and, if we’re honest, a little sloppy. Despite Pepper’s best efforts however; Trapesi doesn’t stop coming. His slight shift away from The Combat Club has given him the passion and drive to excel and while locked up in the beginning of the Michaelerman’s Suplex, he escapes and delivers a stiff Star Maker Lariat which puts his opponent down for the three-count. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, George Trapesi defeated Pepper Pelton in 8:09 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. Rating: 69 Notes: What is in the water today? We seem to be on a streak of disappointing matches between wrestlers who should be knocking it out of the park. This felt like a feud to revitalise both men after a tricky few months, but it has not started with the fire and in-ring talent we’ve come to expect from these two. Perhaps it would take time to properly build them back up to the prominence they once had, but this felt bitterly disappointing as a start. LADDER MATCH EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE Danny Hagman vs. Prime Time Jack Pryde (c) With the ladder in the centre of the ring and the EEE Intercontinental Title hanging above it. The current champ and the former champion who never lost it make their entrances and there is a certain amount of tension in the audience. After a series of underwhelming matches, they seem ready to be properly entertained. And with Hagman hurling himself at Prime Time from the bell, they are not disappointed. It’s a brutal war, with a series of high-risk moves and dives which other wrestlers would struggle to perform without serious danger. But for these two, trying to etch their names further into the lore of EEE, it’s just another big match show for them to steal. As the match reaches its peak, the two are on top of the ladder, dealing out big punches to one another. Just when it looks like Hagman is gaining the upper hand, Prime Time smashes The Kid’s head into the top of the ladder and jumps over the top delivering a top-of-the-ladder Sunset Flip Bomb to the mat below. Hagman’s limp body rolls out of the ring, leaving Prime Time to climb up and unhook the Title. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Danny Hagman in a Ladder match in 9:31 when Prime Time Jack Pryde retrieved the item. Prime Time Jack Pryde makes defence number six of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 75 Notes: That’s more like it. These two have been feuding since Hagman’s surprise return from serious injury and it’s culminated here in a stellar blow-off. Any concerns I had about Hagman being surpassed by other workers in his year of recovery have been quelled by this performance. He’s definitely still got it. And as one of the younger of young workers we have on the roster, his future is glittering bright even in defeat. Prime Time once again proves himself an exceptional upper-midcard talent and it likely won’t take long before he elevates himself and the Intercontinental Title into the main event proper. SINGLES MATCH Fro Sure vs. Dreadnought Following their first match a month ago; ‘The King of Funk’ Fro Sure and ‘The Monster’ Dreadnought have been engaged in a game of one-upmanship. No one doubts Dreadnought’s power and momentum, but Fro Sure doesn’t seem to care that no one has ever pinned the behemoth. He’s taken the fight to the big man since the beginning of their feud. Last month he used a chair to beatdown the enforcer of Generation Alpha, which only worked to anger Dreadnought. This match follows in that path with a wild brawl of speed and finesse vs. supreme power and strength. The two of them have a natural chemistry which is rare to find in professional wrestling and both men have fully engaged the audience in matches which could easily have been simple affairs. Fro Sure once again shows his courage and natural talent by taking the fight to Dreadnought. There are no defensive moves here. But Dreadnought is the unstoppable force of Empire Elite Entertainment. Like a serial killer in a movie, nothing stops him for long and despite Fro Sure’s best efforts, he cannot stop his opponent from delivery bigger and bigger moves. Powerbombs, Demon Bombs and Dread Bombs are distributed over and over again. Eventually the referee tries to get Dreadought to back off, so Dreadnought Powerbombs him too, drawing a DQ. But The Monster doesn’t seem to care as he continues to beat Fro Sure to a pulp until agents from backstage run down to pull Dreadnought away. In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Fro Sure defeated Dreadnought in 10:28 by rage disqualification. Rating: 72 Notes: Since his re-emergence in New York, thankfully with all previous mention of him removed, we have actually managed to create the monster we always dreamed of. This feud with Fro Sure is his first taste of top-tier opposition and we’re being very careful not to have either man properly lose. Last month Fro Sure beat Dreadnought with a chair. This month Dreadnought refused to stop assaulting Fro Sure. A decider between the two should be a barn-stormer. Or we could leave it there and not damage either man with a loss? Good Big Man vs Little Man match here. SINGLES MATCH Valiant vs. Chip Martin Valiant has had his troubles with Generation Alpha for months. Having lost the title to Cameron Vessey in the first place, he has been engaged in a battle against them ever since. His attention was drawn by Chip Martin leading to this match. For Martin, this is a continuation of his coming out party. A former lower card worker, he made the right choice joining Generation Alpha and now gets to fight against workers of the quality of Valiant. Sadly for him, once the talking and back-up evaporate, he’s still in the ring with a former World Heavyweight Champion. And Valiant takes his time in teaching the young worker a lesson about experience. Even when Martin gets the upper hand, Valiant is able to reclaim it quickly before finishing the kid off clean with a V-Split. In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Valiant defeated Chip Martin in 9:53 by pinfall with a V-Split. Rating: 65 Notes: Chip Martin, the most obnoxious second generation superstar on the roster has carved out a nice niche for himself as a lackey for Generation Alpha. It may seem less-than-impressive by normal standards, but let’s not forget that he was effectively a jobber for years before this chance. Valiant reached the height of the sport at the start of the year, but now finds himself working with the younger generation and he seems very happy about it. Match was fine, although Chip can’t help the physically weak Valiant, so this match relied a lot on smoke and mirrors. EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Twin Powers vs. The Stone Foundation vs. The Fantastic Express (c) A match involving three of the top tag teams in Empire Elite Entertainment is always something of note. We have The Stone Foundation representing Generation Alpha, whose goal of dominating all three major titles remains in full force. There’s the champions and long-standing roster members The Fantastic Express and finally there’s the former champions under the management of Billy ‘The Brain’ Keelan; The Twin Powers. It’s a match which could easily go any way and all three teams begin a dance familiar to fans of the company. It’s an unusually intricate match, with four men on the outside of the ring awaiting tags in. As the match unfolds, it’s clear that The Twin Powers are allowing The Stones and Fantastics to beat each other up and tagging in sparingly to steal a pin and tagging out when it doesn’t work. Sadly the tactic is flawed. As the match comes to an end, Cousin Solly runs in to distract The Stone Foundation, leaving Bulldozer Brandon Smith alone with The Fantastics, who hit a Fantastic Flashbang for the win. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Stone Foundation and The Twin Powers in 9:58, when Rafe Shashay pinned Bulldozer Brandon Smith with a Fantastic Flashbang. During the match we also had Solomon Gold run in and attack Christopher Stone. The Fantastic Express make defence number six of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 72 Notes: The Twin Powers, by virtue of Bulldozer Brandon Smith’s sub-30 rated stamina are reaching a natural end point. Andrew Harper can still carry them to decent matches for now, but he’s not what I’d call a spring chicken either. The Stone Foundation and The Fantastic Express are building a nice long-term rivalry as the de facto top face and heel team, but for now we keep the titles with Zippy, Rafe and Cousin Solly. Match was decent, although seeing Bulldozer hobble around made me feel very old. TAG TEAM MATCH Aaron Andrews & Charlie Corner vs. Shaffer & McManus A continuation of a feud to tide over everyone not currently involved in the World Title hunt draws big crowd reactions from the get-go. Long-time friends/rivals McManus and Shaffer have made it their business to target Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews, whether through jealousy or… well, it’s definitely jealousy. The Ace brought in his long-time buddy Charlie Corner and the four of them have been tearing it up across the company ever since. Their paths seem to intertwined a lot and the results are always entertaining. This is no exception as the four men, who are all incredibly talented in-ring performers. They know each others tells and tricks, which means the speed of the technical wrestling on display is blistering. As is often the case in recent years however, Shaffer and McManus just can’t stay on the same page and the superior friendship and teamwork from Corner and Andrews lead to them isolating ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ and finishing him off. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner defeated Shaffer & McManus in 11:43 when Aaron Andrews pinned Riley McManus with a Flying Body Press. Rating: 80 Notes: Good match. McManus and Shaffer are perennial top-tier stars whose momentum and popularity rarely changes regardless of results and they are invested in a long-running feud. Andrews is a main event contender waiting to happen and Corner has once again settled into his new role as upper-midcard gatekeeper. It’s always the way for Cali Cool that he’s too laid back to push himself and he relies on others to do that for him. I can’t say his approach hasn’t worked thus far, but he could be a World Heavyweight Champion by now. Still now wasn’t the time for complaints. EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) The former World Heavyweight Champion Davis Wayne Newton won the Steve Flash Trophy to book his place in a match with ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey, who remains unpinned since debuting. It’s one of the most anticipated matches of the year and a perfect main event for the summer spectacular. Vessey won the title off of Valiant, who himself won if from DWN. But since then, the All American Hero has taught Newton a thing or two about how to be a Champion in life. After the two get their elaborate entrances, the match begins. They trade headlocks to start and then do this awesome exchange of shoulderblocks and neither goes down. DWN takes down Vessey with a headlock, but the champ fires back with a leg lariat and they do a chop battle. DWN puts him down with a lariat and follows with a piledriver for two. They fight to the apron and trade forearms, and Vessey goes down as we take a break. Back with DWN beating him down and hitting a suplex, as Vessey looks on the backfoot for the first time in a long time. DWN puts the boots to him, but Vessey fights back with an shoulderbreaker and makes a comeback. Running boot in the corner and brainbuster gets two. Vessey goes up and a frog splash hits knees, and DWN goes to a chinlock. He switches that to a cross armbreaker, but Vessey makes the ropes and takes him down with a rana. DWN bails and Vessey hits him with a tope con hilo, and back in for another frog splash that gets two. DWN grabs the sleeper, but Vessey reverses to the Blue Thunder Bomb and that gets two. Newton with the Michaelerman’s Suplex, but Vessey escapes the STF and hits a bridging german for two. Vessey holds on and tries a second one, but DWN headbutts out and hits a Vessey Driver II, and then beats on him with elbows. It this point Dreadnought hits the ring and the referee and DWN are distracted. Cameron Vessey low-blows DWN, scoops him up in a Vessey Driver II of his own and hooks the legs to claim the victory. In an exceptional match, Cameron Vessey defeated Davis Wayne Newton in 22:58 by pinfall with a Vessey Driver II following interference from Dreadnought. Cameron Vessey makes defence number four of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 87 Notes: I knew these two would bring the thunder and that’s exactly what they did. Wowza, what a match. I have that as the second best match in our company’s history and arguably could’ve been better without the Dread-ference. One things for sure… there will be a rematch… OVERALL RATING: 85 – 0.33 (167,610 buys) You cannot argue with the scores there as we move away from the Valiant Pure Sports Entertainment Main Event Era and into the Top-Quality Wrestling. In a roster packed with Vessey, DWN, Aaron Andrews, Fro Sure and many others, it seemed hugely unlikely that this era would last for years. And long may it. Next time… DWN goes to hospital while Honest Frank evolves…

Just a note: My diary is Cverse, not Real World. But it’s in both. Might be worth removing the option from Real World. 😁

New York City… where money talks… We made a spectacular $2,127,603 profit, thanks in no small part to the EEE Network, which was producing content from both us and NYCW and people were paying for it in droves, despite the economy sinking to 16% and the wrestling industry to 22%. Both were still falling, which was sub-optimal. I looked at the merchandise figures and was pleasantly surprised. Monthly Merchandise: 1. Valiant - $340,472 (-$101,568) 2. Davis Wayne Newton - $326,464 (+$171,147) 3. Aaron Andrews - $205,149 (-$1,459) 4. Prime Time Jack Pryde - $188,996 (+$1,027) 5. Charlie Corner - $75,711 (+$8,181) 6. Fro Sure - $59,678 (+$12,228) 7. Zippy Deverell - $47,260 (+$5,556) 8. George Trapesi - $45,565 (+$3,391) 9. Cameron Vessey - $39,950 (+$2,895) 10. Rafe Sasay - $32,505 (+$845) Davis Wayne Newton has shot up the rankings and is on the verge of over-taking long-time leader Valiant at the tippy top. It was somewhat sad to see the great Valiant falling so rapidly, but we couldn’t keep him at the top forever and the moment it looks like he was losing his merchandising Vessey, it was time to rip-off the band aid. But my concern now was our limitations to popularity caused by the size of the EEE Network. So I arranged a meeting with Larry and the accountants and we agreed to invest money to expand our reach in the short term. Spent war chest on expanding EEE Network: USA (Very Big) Canada (Launch and taken straight to Medium) Mexico (Launch and taken straight to Small) British Isles (Launch and taken to Tiny) Japan (Launch and taken to Tiny) Europe (Launch and taken to Tiny) Oceania (Launch and taken to Tiny) India (Launch and taken to Tiny) Armed with the knowlVessey about DWN’s growth in popularity and merchandise, it felt like the right time to get him involved directly with the man who stole his back-up and then the title he believes is his by right. EEE All Star Wrestling #73 Friday, Week 1, August 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 10,855 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is out in his sequin robe, with the Steve Flash Trophy in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other. He’s here to celebrate his incredible victory on Sunday and his impending title shot against ‘Daddy’s Boy’ Cam at Summer Slamboree. What a time to be alive. They might be thinking that he should be focusing on one of the biggest matches of the year. But when you’re a Canadian Hero, these things don’t bother you. What does bother you is silver spoon-fed, owner’s sons who are given everything and deserve nothing. But it’s bad to dwell on such things. Tonight is a night for celebration. This brings out Generation Alpha. Bryan has the microphone though and he does a long introduction for each member of the stable (DWN feigns being asleep throughout) and then highlights that he can come up with every conspiracy theory in the book about why The Man is The Man. But the belt around his waist tells him everything he needs to know. Generation Alpha then descend on the ring, but DWN jumps out and over the barricade into the crowd while still celebrating clutching his trophy and champagne. Rating: 89 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom & Ben Williams vs. The Twin Powers In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Twin Powers defeated Alistair Shufflebottom and Ben Williams in 5:37 when Andrew Harper pinned Ben Williams following Stereo Powerbombs. Rating: 49 [*]ANGLE: After the match, Billy Keelan gets on the microphone and says its disgusting that The Cheating Fantastics used a third man to get an unfair advantage. So his Twin Powers want a rematch but with any family members banned from ringside. Rating: 71 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Stevie Stanley vs. Danny 'The Kid' Hagman In a decent match, Danny Hagman defeated Stevie Stanley in 5:33 by pinfall with a Missing Piece. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: Backstage The Stone Foundation haven’t got any time for The Twin Powers just charging in and claiming a title shot. This isn’t a game… it’s professional wrestling and they’ll be damned if they’re passed over again for a shot at the gold. And they’ll prove it. Rating: 80 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Animal & The Eagle vs. Shaffer & McManus In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Shaffer & McManus defeated The Animal and The Eagle in 8:01 when Trent Shaffer pinned The Eagle with a Heart Burn. During the match we also had Aaron Andrews run in and attack Shaffer. Rating: 62 [*]ANGLE: Valiant and Fro Sure are discussing tactics about tonight’s main event and they seem pretty happy about their chances of teaching Generation Alpha a lesson. Rating: 79 [*]EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Honest Frank Jr vs. Prime Time Jack Pryde (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Honest Frank Jr in 9:43 when Honest Frank Jr was disqualified when Danny Hagman ran in and attacked Prime Time Jack Pryde. Prime Time Jack Pryde makes defence number five of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 73 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Valiant & Fro Sure vs. Cameron Vessey & Dreadnought In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Valiant and Fro Sure drew with Cameron Vessey and Dreadnought in 10:25 when the referee lost control and stopped the match. Rating: 81 [*]ANGLE: After the match Davis Wayne Newton reappears through the crowd with a big bottle of champagne, he gets in the ring and sprays it into Cameron Vessey’s eyes. When Dreadnought moves to defend the Champ, Fro Sure intercepts and the two brawl outside, while DWN and Valiant attack The Stone Foundation, Chip Martin and Cameron Vessey. Rating: 85 [*]OVERALL RATING: 81 – 2.77 (2,077,822 viewers), PPV Canada and Japan 0.00 (0 buys) Nice feuds bubbling away at the top of the card, with some slower-builds at the bottom. Slightly face-ish DWN is absolute money. While planning the next show, I became aware of Hellakion’s contract coming to a close in Japan. Despite his body having been almost destroyed, he was still a top talent, so we put in a rather large contract offer. Sadly it didn’t work out and instead he came back to North America by signing with CWA, who needed him as their roster was looking a little strained of late. EEE All Star Wrestling #74 Friday, Week 2, August 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 10,878 [*]ANGLE: ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey is out with the rest of Generation Alpha. He’s getting pretty bored of Davis Wayne Newton and his childish, unprofessional antics. And he’s disappointed in the fans. He knows they’re under-achievers and broadly lazy, but to be as stupid as to believe that DWN actually cares about them or what they think is some of the most stupid nonsense he’s ever heard. DWN pretends that The Man is only The Man because of his family. Well, he’s here to send a message to the challenger about what family means to him. He looks at Dreadnought and nods. Dreadnought spins and picks up Bryan Vessey and delivers a huge powerbomb. Cameron then instructs the others to attack his own uncle. “There’s NOTHING I won’t do to stay at the top!” Vessey adds over the laid out body of Bryan Vessey. Rating: 85 [*]EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Cali Slick & Frantic Ali vs. The Fantastic Express (c) In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated Cali Slick and Frantic Ali in 5:35 when Rafe Sashay pinned Frantic Ali with a Fantastic Flashbang. During the match we also saw Big Jon Walker run in and attack Slick, and Bulldozer Brandon Smith also attack Sashay. The Fantastic Express make defence number five of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 64 [*]ANGLE: Trent Shaffer and Riley McManus burst into the office with President Keith, who is holding a private meeting with Davis Wayne Newton. Shaffer demands a tag team title shot for the two of them. A visibly irritated President says that if Trent can beat Newton tonight, they have their shot. And he looks at DWN and says “And if you win, we can discuss your proposal further.” DWN winks and pats Trent on the arm, adding “See you later big boy.” Rating: 71 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bryan Jewett vs. Honest Frank Jr In a decent match, Honest Frank Jr defeated Bryan Jewett in 6:28 by pinfall with a Roll The Dice. During the match we also had Prime Time Jack Pryde run in and attack Honest Frank Jr. Rating: 70 [*]ANGLE: In the ring is Prime Time Jack Pryde. “Hagman, you irritating little twerp. I am absolutely sick to death of your constant claims of being the ‘Real’ Intercontinental Champion. At Summer Slamboree we’re going to settle it once and for all. Your fake title and my REAL title, suspended above the ring and the only way to reach it… a steel ladder. So bring your best game bucko, cos you’re in my world now.” Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: George Trapesi vs. William Jetterson In a decent match, George Trapesi defeated William Jetterson in 5:49 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. During the match we also had Pepper Pelton run in and attack Trapesi. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: After the match The Keelan Family attack with Pepper Pelton leading the charge. Rating: 78 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Combat Club vs. The Stone Foundation In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Stone Foundation defeated The Combat Club in 6:32 when Christopher Stone submitted JP Barnham with an Alabaster Agony. Rating: 67 [*]ANGLE: Christopher Stone gets on the microphone after the match. He yells at The Fantastic Express to stop ignoring their demands. They’ve proven themselves to be the best team once again and they can’t keep running like scared children. This brings out Cousin Solly. “Well let me see boys, it seems to me that you boys think you’re tough. But I can tell your ‘City Tough’ whereas my cousin is ‘Country Strong’ and Country Strong beats City Tough every day of the week. I know Zippy would want to say this himself. So I’m saying it. You want to test your metal… you got it.” Rating: 75 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Davis Wayne Newton vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Trent Shaffer in 9:53 by submission with a STF after interference from Aaron Andrews. During the match we also had Cameron Vessey run in and attack Newton. Rating: 81 [*]OVERALL RATING: 79 – 2.34 (1,756,311 viewers) Perhaps a slightly disappointing show, but Bryan getting destroyed to make a point was somewhat surprising to the fans. It’s all part of the character development for the World Champion. It was also fun to see Cousin Solly going off script. I wasn’t sure whether we’d use him in a one-off capacity, but his performance was good enough to bring him in full-time. ‘Cousin Solly’ Solomon Gold Entrance Music: Holding all the Roses by Blackberry Smoke ‘The Hillbilly Heartthrob’ Solomon Gold was introduced to fans as Cousin Solly; part of Zippy Deverell’s extended family. He is an outspoken, yet charismatic Deep Southerner with a solid moveset and some pretty high upside. While he may be problematic for The Fantastic Express in the long-term because of his inability to keep his mouth shut, he has already helped them get a win over the dominant Twin Powers tag team and retain their World Tag Team titles. EEE All Star Wrestling #75 Friday, Week 3, August 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 10,304 [*]ANGLE: Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner are out. They’re walking on cloud nine. They’ve watched as Shaffer and McManus have bullied their way into title shots and getting what they want. And now… well now what have they got? Just themselves. How miserable. “That’s true bro,” Corner adds. But it does mean they haven’t got any plans for Summer Slamboree, so they’re issuing a challenge. “Come and get it!” Rating: 92 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Chip Martin In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Chip Martin defeated The Eagle in 6:27 by pinfall with a Super Kick. Rating: 51 [*]ANGLE: Danny Hagman is looking forward to the Ladder match at Summer Slamboree. Finally a chance to prove that he is the REAL Intercontinental Champion. Rating: 77 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Jaylon Martins vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Pepper Pelton defeated Jaylon Martins in 5:50 by pinfall with a Fisherman's Suplex. During the match we also had George Trapesi run in and attack The Perfect One. Rating: 53 [*]ANGLE: After the match George Trapesi tells Pepper the days of him being bullied and pushed around are over. He’s sick of it. Of the pressure, of the comments. Of how he’s not the man he used to be. Well at Summer Slamboree, he’s going to take out a year’s frustration on YOU; Perfect One. Rating: 77 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Texas Roughriders vs. Samoan Wrecking Crew In a decent match, The Texas Roughriders defeated Samoan Wrecking Crew in 6:09 when Bradley Blaze pinned Loa Laki with a Lasso Whiplash. During the match we also had Cali Slick run in and attack Blaze. Rating: 54 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is back in his Executive Suite and enjoying some delicious wagyu steak bites. He’s got a fantastic view and a night off from action. So he’s just going to watch Fro Sure crush The Man. And he looks forward to facing the King of Funk instead. At least he isn’t surrounded by lackies unlike Daddy’s Boy. As for what he said about him and the crowd… there he’s right. DWN doesn’t give a damn about the people, and that’s why they love him! (the crowd unbelievably cheer that response). Rating: 84 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. Monty Trescarde In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Eddie Howard defeated Monty Trescarde in 5:55 by pinfall with a Crash And Burn. Rating: 53 [*]ANGLE: Backstage Cameron Vessey is talking to a beaten and bruised Bryan Vessey. He’s explaining that he had to do it. It was nothing personal… just business. Bryan seems to understand and nods along as Dreadnought looms behind him. But he’d like his uncle alongside him as he beats the living Hell out of Fro Sure and then he nods at Dreadnought, who nods back. Rating: 77 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Fro Sure vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) In an exceptional match, Cameron Vessey defeated Fro Sure in 9:46 by pinfall with a Vessey Driver II following interference from Dreadnought. During the match we also had Davis Wayne Newton run in and attack Vessey. Cameron Vessey makes defence number three of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 82 [*]OVERALL RATING: 80 – 2.39 (1,793,241 viewers) Everything is moving nicely towards our Summer spectacular Slamboree, with a lot of high-profule matches already set and a number alluded to. In a production meeting later that week, Larry threw me a folder containing a list of files about wrestlers who worked for Pro Wrestling Max. When I asked him what it was all about, Larry explained that he’d bought them out once he knew they were struggling financially. At this stage, his sudden desire to hoover up smaller companies no longer shocked me. But I did wonder if it was good for the industry as a whole? I raised it with him… tentatively, but he just looked at me with a squinty eye and I thought it best to drop it. There was something going on behind those eyes of his. Ever since we’d been dropped from our TV slot and had shrunk in size, he and I hadn’t been as close as before. I suspected despite his kind words at the launch of the EEE Network that he still resented having to spend the money to stop us going into a free-fall. EEE All Star Wrestling #76 Friday, Week 4, August 2025 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 10,575 [*]ANGLE: Cameron Vessey and Generation Alpha are out and The Man has many things he’d like to say. He wants to talk about that Slimeball DWN. A man with the integrity of a Michael, the brains of a rock and the talent of someone from New York City. But he’s always believed in saying what he needs to say in actions. So, at Summer Slamboree he’s going to tear DWN limb-from-limb. Rating: 90 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Valiant vs. Spike Sylvain In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Valiant defeated Spike Sylvain in 6:16 by pinfall with a Patriot Missile. During the match we also had Chip Martin run in and attack Valiant. Rating: 65 [*]ANGLE: In President Keith’s office, he has an announcement. At Summer Slamboree he’s agreed to give a tag team title shot to The Stone Foundation AND The Twin Powers. They can all compete for the gold. The camera pans and shows Solomon Gold smiling with two thumbs up, obviously having asked for this. Rating: 74 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. The Masked Mauler In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Fro Sure defeated The Masked Mauler in 7:31 by pinfall with a Sure Thing. Rating: 74 [*]ANGLE: After the match Fro Sure gets on the mic and he calls out Dreadnought. At Summer Slamboree he’s going to be the first to pin The Monster and then springboard towards the title held by his BFF. In fact, he’s going to hang around and join the commentary team for Dreadnought’s next match. Rating: 79 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Animal Harker vs. Dreadnought In an extremely short match, Dreadnought defeated Animal Harker in 4:32 by pinfall with a Dread Bomb. During the match we also had Fro Sure run in and attack Dreadnought. Rating: 50 [*]ANGLE: Valiant is backstage and he’s calm as always, but he’s looking for Chip Martin to ‘have a chat.’ But he’s faced with Bryan Vessey who thinks it’s depressing that a great former Champion is chasing a young performer like Chip. Feels like bullying behaviour and he’s disappointed. The conversation gets heated and Bryan agrees to Chip facing Valiant in a match. But if he loses to Chip, no more title shots at Cameron… Ever. Valiant happily accepts. Rating: 75 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Big Jon Walker vs. Denny King In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Big Jon Walker defeated Denny King in 5:49 by pinfall with a Lasso DDT. Rating: 50 [*]ANGLE: We see a video recap which tells the story of Danny Hagman winning the Intercontinental Title, getting seriously injured and focusing on his long recovery. Then it switches to the turn on Prime Time and the heated rivalry between them about the title, which will be settled this Sunday in a Ladder match. Rating: 83 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Aaron Andrews & Charlie Corner vs. The Twin Powers In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Aaron Andrews and Charlie Corner defeated The Twin Powers in 10:01 when Aaron Andrews pinned Bulldozer Brandon Smith with a Flying Body Press following interference from JP Barnham. During the match we also had Riley McManus run in and attack Andrews. Rating: 77 [*]ANGLE: After the match Trent Shaffer and Riley McManus run in and attack Corner and Andrews. Rating: 83 [*]OVERALL RATING: 79 – 2.34 (1,757,972 viewers) Everything was in place and we were ready for the weekend. In a rare moment of calm after the last six months of chaos, I had a flick through Pro Wrestling Reporter and noticed that Joey Minnesota (Morgan to most) had officially hung up his boots. It was a real shame that he was so broken down when he arrived with us, but at least we’d moved him back to NYCW where his career really started. I quick look through the records told us that he’d lost his final match to Leonardo Fry. Nice touch as the youngster could easily be the next Minnesota. Elsewhere it seemed Rocky Golden had won back the USPW World Title. Good for him.

EEE Supershow: Flash of Brilliance 2025 Sunday, Week 4, July 2025 Weston Square Garden, New York City, New York Attendance: 39,803 GANG WARS MATCH: George Trapesi & The Combat Club vs. Generation Alpha (Chip Martin & The Stone Foundation) In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Generation Alpha (Chip Martin, Michael Stone and Christopher Stone) defeated George Trapesi and The Combat Club in 9:31 when Christopher Stone submitted Ray Cavalero with an Alabaster Agony after interference from Bryan Vessey. Rating: 73 Notes: Of course Bryan got involved against his former charges and OF COURSE he cost them the match. He knows them better than anyone and the fact that a member of The Stone Foundation made a member of The Combat Club submit will not have gone unnoticed. The strength of Generation Alpha continues to grow as long-standing members of the EEE roster are being steam-rolled by this new group. Great opening match. SINGLES MATCH: Eddie Howard vs. Danny 'The Kid' Hagman In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Danny Hagman defeated Eddie Howard in 9:42 by submission with a Steel Curtain after interference from Billy Keelan. Rating: 53 Notes: Speaking of manager interference. Billy Keelan is still around and causing trouble for his clients opponents. Eddie ‘The Destroyer’ Howard, whose time so far has been a little disappointing is forced to submit to The Kid, whose slightly disappointing heel turn is beginning to turn itself around. There is still a bit of concern in the production department that he hasn’t hit full gear since returning from his injury, and the quality of this match will not have helped. But we persevere because he’s a home-grown star. SINGLES MATCH: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Aaron Andrews defeated Pepper Pelton in 10:12 by pinfall with a Flying Body Press. Rating: 76 Notes: Fantastic match and a clean win for The Ace. ‘The Perfect One’ has still not taken the big step-up that we’d hoped he would following the big feud with Prime Time. But he was young enough and talented enough that he could re-heat him when the time came. For now though, it was tough for heels who are not members of Generation Alpha. STEVE FLASH TROPHY SEMI-FINAL MATCH: Charlie Corner vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Riley McManus defeated Charlie Corner in 9:53 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Rating: 77 Notes: Nice heel win for ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ who is seeing his star rise a little after an extended period out of the lime-light. Charlie Corner is now firmly established in the upper midcard, so a loss against a former World Champion will not hurt him. Really, really good match though with McManus helping the younger star to look great in defeat. Off to the finals he goes. STEVE FLASH TROPHY SEMI-FINAL MATCH: Davis Wayne Newton vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Trent Shaffer in 10:05 by submission with a STF. Rating: 83 Notes: Another great match from two of our best. There was no way DWN wasn’t at least making the finals after the story we’re trying to tell, so Trent is given the honour of putting him over. And like the professional he is, he did it in style. Fantastic match all-round. SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. Dreadnought In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Dreadnought defeated Fro Sure in 7:31 by disqualification after Fro Sure used a chair to bring down The Monster. Rating: 75 Notes: Well, these two have pretty good chemistry, which feels like something that should’ve come up before. The match was great and Fro Sure doesn’t get pinned as he takes matters into his own hands to beat The Monster within an inch of his life. While Fro Sure doesn’t technically win, he’s come the closest to costing the big man some momentum. EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Twin Powers vs. The Fantastic Express (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Twin Powers in 10:30 when Zippy Deverell pinned Bulldozer Brandon Smith, following interference from Cousin Solly. The Fantastic Express make defence number four of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 72 Notes: Zippy’s Cousin… Solly, a rather good-looking and charismatic man helps The Fantastics to take down the giant Twin Powers. And in a rare moment, it’s Bulldozer Brandon Smith who gets pinned, which might be the first time that’s happened in around a year. A good match between these two, although it should be noted that Bulldozer did not look great in there. His stamina is now as low as I’ve seen a professional wrestler and I wondered if perhaps this might be the run-down of his illustrious career. EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Honest Frank Jr vs. Prime Time Jack Pryde (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Honest Frank Jr in 9:57 by pinfall with a PrydeFall. Prime Time Jack Pryde makes defence number four of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 75 Notes: Prime Time’s run continues with a clean win over the former champion. Another good match too, which helps both men. We’d almost certainly keep this story going for a bit because of the duel benefit. I had a huge amount of time for both guys and would likely look to springboard both on to new and exciting things for both men once this feud had run it’s course. STEVE FLASH TROPHY FINAL MATCH: Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Riley McManus in 20:13 by pinfall with a Michaelerman's Suplex. Davis Wayne Newton wins the Steve Flash Trophy. Rating: 83 Notes: DWN gets the title shot and delivers a top-level match with the always amazing Georgia Bulldog. The fact that the Canadian Hero has this year added a second World Title reign alongside his Empire Royale victory and now is the inaugural Steve Flash trophy winner tells you how highly we rated his skills. With his contract up in December, I was fully prepared to break the bank to keep him. But the question remained… would someone else break a bigger bank to prise him away. EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Valiant vs. ‘The Man’ Cameron Vessey (c) In a rematch with the roles reversed. New World Heavyweight champion walked to the ring surrounded by the entirety of Generation Alpha, while Valiant, the American Hero came down alone but with the crowd firmly on his side. Lockup battle to start, and Valiant works the arm. Vessey armdrags him, and works the arm in turn. Vessey slugs him down and chokes him out, but Valiant counters with a Powerbomb, which Vessey counters in turn with the Vessey Lock. Valiant bails to the apron and gets dropkicked to the floor. Back in, Vessey gets a flying elbow for two. A pair of backbreakers get two for Valiant, but Vessey reverses the pinfall for two. Vessey forearms him down, but gets hit with a Valiant Forearm in turn. He comes back quickly with a hotshot and the crowd starts chanting “Vessey Sucks.” Vessey goes up, but gets crotched. Superplex and double-KO. Valiant slugs away and gets a samoan drop for two. Vessey comes back and walks into a lariat for two. Suplex gets two. Valiant dumps Vessey, and he gets two back in the ring. He goes to a chinlock and Vessey escapes, but misses a dropkick. Valiant catapults him and lariats him. They head up, and Vessey gets a missile dropkick. Double KO again, Valiant is staggered. Slugfest is won by Vessey, and he overpowers Valiant and gets a neckbreaker and rana for two. Vessey hits a Brainbuster and follows with his own V-Split for two. Bulldog sets up the a flurry of elbows to the head, but Valiant fights back up to his feet. He then gets a dragon-screw and twists that into a Vessey Lock until Vessey makes the ropes. Valiant DDTs him and lines up for a V-Split, but Vessey reverses, hits a stiff lariat and scoops up Valiant for the Vessey Driver II for the pin and the win. In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Cameron Vessey defeated Valiant in 9:56 by pinfall with a Vessey Driver II. Cameron Vessey makes defence number two of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 85 Notes: The solidification of Cameron Vessey as ‘The Man’ and, because of age concerns and a crumbling merchandise sales, Valiant’s likely last throw of the dice as far as the World Title is concerned. Obviously you never say never in this business, but certainly for now it was time to find something else for the second most over man in the promotion to do. Vessey continues to astound and impress. Long may he reign. OVERALL RATING: 85 – 0.38 (194,480 buys) That was one of our best shows and further proof that we’d left behind the trials and tribulations of falling back to medium size and losing our TV slot and being blacklisted. Turns out, when life gives you lemons, you do tequila shots. Pretty sure Spike Sylvain told me that one. Next time… it’s time to open Larry’s chequebook and invest in spreading the good word about Empire Elite Entertainment…

These are sooooo good. Love them.

Interesting. Tribute shows sounds like the winner then. Awesome thank you everyone.

This company is screaming out for some Peak Brothers action. I'll be watching regardless.
