  1. The Foundation (Jon Michael Sharp & Martin Heath) vs XS & Aurelian Bradley XS/Aurelian seem to have slotted into the role that State of Mind originally had, which is a good place for them since they have chemistry together and are both young enough to develop on their backs for a bit. Christopher Lister vs Lone Wolf AWOOOOOOOO The Youth Bandits (Cannonball Logan & Ian Vincible) vs State Of Mind (Brilliant White & Ultra Violence) I'm behind the State of Mind push 'The Prodigy' Darin Flynn w/ Mark Moore vs Evan Alpass w/ Marbella I believe this is a face vs face match, and Darin stands above Evan on the card from what I've seen so far
  2. Grace of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit) vs XS & Aurelian Bradley ??? vs Damian Dastardly The Youth Bandits (Ian Vincible & Cannonball Logan) vs High Society (Dylan Drama & Joey Beauchamp) Rohan Kirchner vs Bret Heartbreak NWF Cruiserweight Championship: Leighton Buzzard (C) vs JK Lee
  3. Cruiserweight World Cup Final: Welsh Dragon vs Edison Silva w/ Mo Adebola I don't think Welsh Dragon is ready to beat a guy like Silva yet. NWF British Tag Team Titles: Future X vs The Northern Lights (C) w/ Frank Finkleton Good first defense for the champs after they won them in a triple threat NWF Cruiserweight Championship: Leighton Buzzard vs JK Lee (C) I could see this going either way, but I think Leighton deserves it after the work he's put in the last couple months Jase Cole w/ Christopher Lister vs Lone Wolf I don't see Lone Wolf losing a singles match to a tag specialist after all the video build up for him If Nate Manchester loses he leaves NWF: Nate Manchester w/ Leo Price vs 'Big Mac' Nathan McKenzie Poor Big Mac eating another L. If Nate himself wasn't the guy who introduced the stop, I could see him losing and fighting with Frank/Legal to get reinstated NWF British Heavyweight Championship: (C) 'The Springbok' Landon Mallory vs 'The Celtic Hammer' Stuart Wilson I'd love to see Stuart win at some point but I don't think it's now Bonus 1: How many titles will change hands at the event? (maximum of 3): 1 Bonus 2: What will the overall rating of the show be? (two points for spot on, 1 point for 2 either side): 68
  4. You said "to see a top wrestler like Bryan Danielson used like this must be a criminal act. Stuck for months fighting outlaw mudshow matches alongside Moxley". He hasn't been wrestling "outlaw mudshow matches alongside Moxley" as Dalton pointed out. I took a snip of Danielson's last 6 months but I could do the same for his entire AEW run. I'll say it again - if how he's been used in AEW is criminally bad, how would you do it differently? His last 6 months in particular have been potentially one of the best runs of his career, at least in my opinion and many others. You can just say "I don't like Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley" without ridiculous hyperbole that pretty much every single person on the forums would call you out on...
  5. Cruiserweight World Cup Semi Final: Welsh Dragon vs Damian Dastardly ??? vs Stuart Wilson Darin Flynn vs Akihiro Hisato The Youth Bandits (Ian Vincible & Cannonball Logan) vs Lee & O'Hearne Cruiserweight World Cup Semi Final: Bali Daljit vs Edison Silva w/ Mo Adebola Edison vs Welsh Dragon seems the most logical (re)match for the World Cup
  6. Danielson's last 6 months or so, with an Ospreay singles match on the horizon. If this is criminal usage of a hall of fame talent then I would love to hear how he could be booked better!
  7. If Leighton Buzzard wins he gets a shot at the Cruiserweight Title: Leighton Buzzard vs Padraig O'Hearne The Force vs ??? & ??? Future X vs XS & Bradley Astro vs Brilliant White Grace of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit) vs Edison Silva & Damian Dastardly
  8. Winner Represents Wales at Cruiserweight World Cup: Welsh Dragon vs Neville Jones vs Aurelian Bradley vs Red Dragon I think Welsh Dragon is the safe pick, but I'm a sucker for giving vets that "one last" moment in the sun, and with how Red Dragon has performed, this could be his last chance to stand on his own and rep his country since Welsh Dragon is already better than him. Future X (Petey Barnes & Eric Future) vs State Of Mind (Brilliant White & Ultra Violence) I think Future X are the third most interesting veteran team you have (behind Sharp/Heath and The Force), while Brilliant White has been impressive in his singles matches and State of Mind are a very unique team compared to the rest of your division. Cruiserweight World Cup Quarter-Final: Bali Daljit (India) vs Davey Celtic (Scotland) You've been behind Bali for a bit despite him not getting nay signature wins, but this could be his chance. Cruiserweight World Cup Quarter-Final: Edison Silva (England?) vs Akihiro Hisato (Japan) The false English rep takes the win here, with an eventual rematch with Leighton on the horizon
  9. Great show as always - I'm not surprised I was wrong about Landon losing, but I think we'll see a gimmick rematch (or a triple threat) down the road for him. Good showing from Leighton Buzzard who is rapidly outgrowing his tag team partner. I had a feeling his World Cup hopes wouldn't be over, so I'm glad I sniffed that one out at least.
  10. Winner Represents England at the Cruiserweight World Cup: Leighton Buzzard vs Edison Silva w/ Mo Adebola Good way to keep Silva away from Landon for a little while. Will be an interesting wrinkle to the World Cup when the representative is a heel. Given his kayfabe backstory of being from Brazil, I wonder if there's any wrinkle where Silva and Buzzard both make it into the CWC? Should be a good test for Buzzard as well as seeing how Silva can do with a non-title program. Dangermouth, Darin Flynn & Evan Alpass vs High Society (Byron, Dylan Drama & Joey Beauchamp) Could see this one going either way, since the lynchpin of the whole angle seems to be Bret. Does Bret end up helping his dad win reluctantly, or mess up in helping and cost them the match? No clue, but in the coinflip I'll go with the established group over the loose alliance of young guys fighting it. NWF Cruiserweight Title: Jase Cole vs JK Lee (C) I think the Jedi involvement in the Cruiserweight storyline is more of a catalyst to split up Lee and O'Hearne than for either of the vets to win the title - Lee and O'Hearne are both way more valuable as singles guys than as a tag team with how your divisions currently look. NWF British Tag Team Titles: The Foundation vs The Northern Lights (C) No way the Network drops the titles this soon, though The Foundation are on my shortlist to win it. There needs to be some tension heading into the main event that Big Mac might walk out with the gold. NWF British Heavyweight Championship: 'The Springbok' Landon Mallory (C) vs 'Big Mac' Nathan McKenzie YEAH I'm crazy (I'm 2 points ahead in the predictions so I can afford to take a shot here). The more I think about it, the more I think Big Mac steals the title. Why? I don't really see any potential feuds for Landon if he wins. Silva will likely be tied up in the World Cup, Big Mac will be done and dusted, and the rest of the heels that could realistically work with him are tied up in other storylines/not ready for a main event feud (Wilson w/Frisby, High Society with the zoomers, JK Lee with O'Hearne and the Jedi). Big Mac takes the title and The Network take over as heels. Big Mac can't be the figurehead of your top heel faction when he loses every big match. He has a much longer list of potential PPV challengers in Nate Manchester, Darin Flynn, and an inevitable rematch with Landon. Bonus Questions: 1. What will the overall rating of the show be? (two points for spot on, one point for 2 either side) 66 2. How many titles will change hands at For Queen And Country? (maximum of 3) 1 Any other comments/questions on the diary: It really feels like you could use an openweight midcard title - you have a lot of guys who could use a championship to fight over that don't fall into the "Cruiserweight" division. You have a ton of vets (Byron/Beauchamp) and heavier midcard guys (Dwayne Dark, Stuart Wilson ATM) that don't have any real accolades they can target as singles wrestlers other than the World title. After all of the work you've put in especially in re-establishing guys like Beauchamp and Byron to their home country, it would be sad if they never win gold in NWF, and your tag division is too stacked for them to get it there IMO.
  11. Neville Jones vs Stuart Wilson Excited to see who else Stuart ropes into Olympia long-term. Right now I've got Stu pegged as the guy to beat Landon. The Foundation (Jon Michael Sharp & Matin Heath) w/ Mark Moore vs Black Country Boys (Gazz Vedmore & Mickey Robson) The BCB continue to pay their dues and get over having competitive matches with your top tag teams The Force (Jase Cole & Christopher Lister) vs JK Lee & Padraig O'Hearne The youngsters learn a tough lesson from the vets and JK Lee gets his first real challenge of his reign so far. Red Dragon vs Dwayne Dark w/ Chuck Frisby Poor Dwayne is a heel-by-proxy while being the most normal dude in an angle full of wackos. Looking forward to him getting his hands on Stuart at some point. Cruiserweight World Cup Qualifier Final: Leighton Buzzard vs Brilliant White Could see this going the other way, but having a young guy who's a product of the most important dojo system to NWF (ROF), who can talk and wrestle representing his country makes more sense than the silent masked character of Brilliant White (at least for the first World Cup)
  12. Future X (Petey Barnes & Eric Future) vs Black Country Boys (Gazz Vedmore & Mickey Robson) Good bounce back win for the former champs against a young up and coming tag team Evan Alpass vs Byron Tough call but if you want Byron to be popular enough to match his role on the roster he needs to leech some popularity from the ex-21CW guys and this seems like the perfect opportunity. He definitely isn't winning this one clean, though. He needs to "win" to still hold that over his son's head before Bret eventually picks a side. Cruiserweight World Cup Semi Final: Leighton Buzzard vs Ultra Violence #bangeralert Cruiserweight World Cup Semi Final: Grant Taypen vs Brilliant White Actual #bangeralert. Brilliant White is a guy I never really give a second glance and he's been putting on great matches for you. I see him vs Leighton in the finals, with him having a non-zero shot at winning (I think Leighton is the favorite given the amount of angle time he's had compared to White). Grace Of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit) vs JK Lee & Padraig O'Hearne Poor Bali the pin eater
  13. Evan Alpass vs Bret Heartbreak w/ Holly Leves Could see a sketchy finish, but Alpass losing here just cuts his legs out from under him IMO Cruiserweight World Cup Qualifier: Grant Taypen vs Glen Ward #bangeralert Jase Cole vs Puffy The Sand Iron Player Cruiserweight World Cup Qualifier: Stardust Phil Cox vs ??? Gotta go with the ??? NWF World Heavyweight Championship: 'The Springbok' Landon Mallory (C) vs Welsh Dragon This'll be a good test for Welsh Dragon
  14. Non Title Contest: Team Chaos (Neville Jones & Norman Gates) vs The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious & Riddick Jordan) Fresh team for the new champs to maul and remind everyone how good they are Tournament Quarter Final: Leighton Buzzard vs Gavin Owen #bangeralert Tournament Quarter Final: Cain Carlile vs Ultra Violence Cain needs a lot of rehab at this point to be taken seriously, while Ultra Violence at least has a gimmick that props him up as a realistic threat Darin Flynn vs JK Lee Feels bad having your Cruiserweight champion losing again, but I think this match will help out both men in the long run
