Steve Flash vs “The Pure Athlete” Art Reed © [NYCW Empire Title Match] Art's a good wrestler, and whilst I still don't think you have enough top faces there's no reason for Steve to win the title back yet Jebediah vs Prisoner No. 6 © w/ Doctor O'Haire [NYCW Tri-State Regional Title Match] I could see this going the other way but I feel like it's time for Prisoner to move up the card and challenge for a main event spot The Ring Generals vs Two Local Talents [Open Challenge Match] Because c'mon, why even? Max Mayhem vs Scythe Scythe's always pretty good, he's one of my favourites The Fighting Irish vs The Canadian Connection Can't actually remember who the CC are, to be honest Brooklyn's Finest vs Old School Principals SQUASH Miller Fforde vs Brutus Milano Seriously, why is Brutus still here?

CGC Canadian Title: Chris Flynn vs Sayeed Ali © I can't remember whether or not the Canadian Title has a match at Wrestlefestival already, so Flynn wins via flash pinfall to set up a rematch Skip Beau & Blockbuster vs Bobby Thomas & Zeus Maxmillion Because Blockbuster's just...the worst. I mean that in a good way, he's supposed to be, but I really hate that guy Phillipe LaGrenier vs Ian Identity I just prefer him Battle Royale to determine Jack Bruce's opponent at WrestleFestival Featuring... Dan DaLay, Diablo DeVille, Dirty Dice Elderberry, Donovan Boon, Greaser, Hugh Ancrie, Hugh DeArrrske, K-Squared, Poison, Robin DaLay, Rusty Mills, Shane Nelson, Torque and more... Both Poison and Bruce are probably past their best, so match them up for a quick sprint and hope their overness can cover for their weaknesses

FCW Puerto Rican Championship Giant Brody versus Puerto Rican Power © It feels a bit early to be moving the title off Power, so I say he takes it via DQ after interference "The Tap Out Artist" Billy Russell versus Texas Pete On the one hand, you clearly have plans for Pete. On the other, Billy can be an awkward sod if he loses too much "The Maniac" Carlos Gonzalez versus Xavi Ferrera presented by "Playboy" Jake Sawyer Carlos is another one who can kick off if he loses too much but with your owner goals you might as well job him out before he leaves Kip Keenan, Nate DeMarcus, Mark Griffin versus Ray Snow, Rob Reynolds & Davis Wayne Newton Bit of a coin-flip but team heel has three of my favourite guys on so they take it FCW Tag Team Championship The Puerto Rican Boys versus The Ring Generals © The Ring Generals haven't held the titles that long and don't generally get picked up by anyone that would require hot-shotting the belts off them Ricochet Ramone versus Boriken Love Machine, Jr Another metaphorical coinflip Leper Messiah versus Prometheus presented by Maryam Vega I've never seen the appeal of Prometheus Curtis Shaw & Joffy Laine versus Samoan Demolition presented by "Playboy" Jake Sawyer Established team always holds the advantage

Steve Flash © vs ”The Pure Athlete” Art Reed [NYCW Empire Title Match] Steve hasn't held the title for long enough to drop it just yet, I'm calling a DQ win or somesuch. Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Honest Frank 'Cos he'll cheat Ace Youngblood vs Prisoner No. 6 © [NYCW Tri-State Regional Title Match] Prisoner No. 6 need to face a proper challenger soon, but Ace doesn't feel like that guy The Fighting Irish vs The Boys From Yukon I can never quite buy into The Boys from the Yukon, though if you can get them over they can do good stuff "That 90's Guy" Riley McManus vs Hugh Ancrie McManus always delivers Animal Harker & ??? vs Brutus Milano & The New York Doll Mystery partner always wins, especially 'cos Milano sucks The Ring Generals vs Brooklyn's Finest SQUASH

Definitely reading this, but I'll hold off on predictions 'til I get more of an idea of how you see the roster- I don't really know Canada in this period.

<p>FCW Puerto Rican Championship</p><p> <strong>Puerto Rican Power</strong> versus Hell's Bouncer ©</p><p> <em>Bouncer's on the way out and Power should lose, like, twice a year</em></p><p> </p><p> "The Tap Out Artist" Billy Russell versus <strong>Handsome Stranger</strong></p><p> <em>You need a heel for Power to beat next month and Stranger's the obvious choice</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>"The Maniac" Carlos Gonzalez</strong> versus "The Marksman" Kirk Jameson presented by Maryam Vega</p><p> <em>Jameson tends to disappear quite quickly, and Carlos can be good if you manage him properly</em></p><p> </p><p> FCW People's Championship</p><p> Kip Keenan versus <strong>Ox Mastadon ©</strong> presented by Carl Batch</p><p> <em>Because that 'tache</em></p><p> </p><p> Joffy Laine versus <strong>Xavi Ferrera</strong> presented by "Playboy" Jake Sawyer</p><p> <em>Either guy could take this but you're with Xavi so I figure there's a plan there</em></p><p> </p><p> FCW Tag Team Championship</p><p> The Wasteland Warriors versus <strong>The Puerto Rican Boys ©</strong></p><p> <em>Mutant has potential but Bull Wreckers always underperforms for me so I can't see a title change here</em></p><p> </p><p> Ricochet Ramone versus <strong>"Ice Cold" Ray Snow</strong></p><p> <em>Ray's pretty good, at least as a general rule</em></p>

<p>Bryan Holmes v <strong>Nathan McGowan</strong></p><p> <em>I find it highly amusing that of the three McGowans you've already introduced, only one is actually appearing.

Makes sense- I always struggle to write up backstage stuff, it's why I haven't had a dynasty here in a while. Mike O'Haire's a good call, he's pretty good and isn't so popular as to dominate the shows and make it all about one guy (always a temptation with user characters). Also, as a piece of advice: check your product bans. Both high risk and spinal impact moves aren't allowed in the default product and that can absolutely hammer your match grades. Drop one or both and your shows will improve a lot.

Won't post predictions just yet as I want to get a feel for your vision of NYCW, but I'm definitely interested in following this one. Who's your user character?

This looks like fun, I'll be following.

Has anybody done a re-render for Whirlwind Lee Wilkes? I have a vague recollection of having seen one but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm gonna concur with the general opinion- the combo does seem to make more sense than going just down one side or the other.
