He listened to the voicemail several times, yet Chip Martin could not bring himself to give a call back. It was one he never expected to get and overall it conflicted him. Chip had always wanted to be a wrestler, his father inspired him and even encouraged him to follow his own dreams. He knows deep down if he wanted to he could have gotten a job without much effort. Mitch and his dad were friends, but Chip wanted to do things his way. Being the son of Johnny Martin doesn't bother him. He embraces it, but he also doesn't want to get an easy pass and become complacent. He was determined to do things his way. He would head out west, work matches, get better. Maybe if he was lucky a company like IPW, CZCW or GSW even might give him a chance. Even if that wasn't the case he would gain experience and head back east once he considered himself ready. The call wasn't from his dad. The call wasn't from anyone in PSW, it was from Dil Smithson, better known as The Wolverine. A friend of his father and a man he remembers talking to when growing up. A bit young to remember much of the DAVE days he certainly spent plenty of time in the PSW locker room growing up. Dil was always a kind, but stern man that was no nonsense. Maybe that is why it is so hard to call back. Chip found his plans perhaps thrown into turmoil. This isn't PSW he would be going to. This wouldn't be perhaps a position where he would become complacent. Dil is willing to give him a chance, but he also would have to earn it. The pressure wouldn't be on him. He would be a future prospect that perhaps would gain animosity for working in the same company as his father. It was a long time of conteplation. Hours of sitting in silence letting the thoughts run through his head as he tried to figure out what he really wanted. Stick to the plan he had or take the chance that he never expected? Eventually he made a decision and soon the call was made. "Hey, Dil. You wanted to talk?"

You're a Tank Bradley!

Second Wave of Signings PWC continues to sign veteran talent to fill out their roster. Ace Youngblood started out his career in 4C where he had a near two year stint before moving on. He also had a one shot appearance in TCW as enhancement talent back in 2007, but it wasn't until 2008 when he would find a steady job working for MAW. Ace was primarily used as a tag specialist where he won the MAW tag titles on four different occasions with two different partners. After a good run in MAW he would leave and mostly make sporadic independent show appearances along the east coast. Being he is only in his mid 30's not only does he provide experience, but he is at an age PWC could use him as a fine piece to build the company around. Buzz Reid is a big brawler from Georgia that looks built for the wild fights that PWC seems to be promising. A relative unknown that has been wrestling for around ten years, Buzz peaked in 2013 when he had a short six month run with PSW. It might be his short time there why PWC decided to contact him to add to the roster. It remains to be seen if Buzz can do much with his second chance or if it will be another short stay in the tri-state for the big man. Desert Storm has been around since 2005, but for a majority of his career he wrestled very few shows. It wasn't until five years ago he decided to dive in and take his career as a wrestler more seriously. Another big, tough brawler, Desert Storm will get a chance to see if he can make a name for himself in PWC. Of all active members on the roster it is Henry Bennet who has the most experience. His near 30 year career has mostly been spent in Japan where he wrestled for the now defunct GCG from 2002 to 2014. From there he would travel to another defunct promotion in WEXXV. Given the latter this isn't the man's first time in a hardcore environment, but age certainly has to play a factor as he is the oldest active wrestler signed so far. It is seen Henry is mostly around for the short term to help establish the promotion before he retires. Mario Heroic is perhaps the well traveled of all the roster members signed so far. In a twenty plus year career he has wrestled for CGC, CZCW, SOTBPW (now EILL), and most recently 4C. Physically he has let himself go in recent years, but do not be decieved by the appearance. Mario is still very talented and even in his early forties he seems to have plenty of gas in the tank.

First Signings PWC was quick to make a few hires in the form of referee Dale Kenny and manager Dharma Gregg. Dale Kenny is a former wrestler turned referee that mostly does small shows in the Tri-State area. Given he is local it does save some costs for the fledgling company that apparently has a rather low budget. Dharma is also from the area and is also a former wrestler, if you can call working for Babes of Sin City wrestling, that has been doing managerial work for several years at small shows. It is assumed she will be paired with some of the younger talent that aren't the best when it comes to cutting a promo. Of course the next two names were the first talents signed and PWC looked to try and make a splash with both name value and nostalgia. Art Reed has a history from his time in DAVE where he showed to be a great talent. Even so his three year career in DAVE saw him coming close, but never winning any titles. The majority of his career post DAVE saw him travel to Japan and wrestle all the up until the start of January 2019. Art has since returned to Canada and has been off the radar for the most part aside from a few matches at independent shows. At forty-four years old it will be interesting to see how much he has in the tank, but this at least gives PWC one big name. It only seems fitting Acid would also be signing with the company. It was he and Art Reed who often had great matches for DAVE over that small period they were both with the company before it went out of business. Much like Art he went to Japan and spent many years wrestling there before returning to Canada in 2017. A few years younger than Art, Acid has been out of the spotlight a bit longer so it remains to be seen if he seen if he can still perform at a high level. If anything it seems a rivalry might be rekindled soon.

Late November 2019 In unexpected news this week it looks like there will be a new company opening up in the Philadelpia area that will be run by retired veterans The Wolverine and The Idaho Punisher. Both are no strangers to the area as The Wolverine wrestled for DaVE and PSW while The Idaho Punisher wrestled for the latter. The two formed a gold winning duo known as The Deadly Alliance. Both men retired in 2014 and aside from doing a few appearances have mostly been out of the spotlight until now. The company will be known as the Phoenix Wrestling Company where The Wolverine claims the company is 'rising from the ashes of the East Coast war'. What is perhaps most confusing that from what both men have said so far it sounds very much like Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling which has been thriving for quite some time. Why they would look to start the promotion so close to PSW seems like a bad idea, but The Wolverine at least believes there are enough fans of the hardcore scene for them to thrive as well. More details will certainly come out over time. As of right now only one title has been mentioned and it looks like both men are aiming to make a roster of veterans and youngsters that currently aren't working for another promotion at least to start. The Wolverine hinted that there will be some familiar names he would like to bring in, but no signings are confirmed. Both men are going to be working backstage as agents while The Idaho Punisher is going to oversee booking with The Wolverine providing backup when needed. Right now funds are being gathered, sponsors contacted and calls being made to purchase the equipment needed to record their events. It is expected the company will hold their first show in January 2020.

Always a fan of CGC content. Looking forward to what you have in store. Good luck with the diary!

Hi there, I have escaped MHero's Den of Despair and managed to find some free time coming up. Mostly asking the people that are familiar with my work if there is any interest in me picking back up on the FCW diary I was doing or if there would be more interest in starting something new. I have a few ideas, but nothing set in stone.

I had a NYCW bug I was wanting to scratch, but this covers it so I am more tempted to be distracted by other things for my own projects. Always enjoy your work and looking forward to more

Hey all, sorry about being down and out for a bit. Work got super busy and I also got sick for a few days. Going to try to finish up writing the show over the weekend and hopefully have it up Saturday or Sunday.

Aaaaand I suppose I could have done this last pose because apparently nothing happened leading into July. I personally blame MHero for this, but to make it up to you all have July's card!

June Report The win against Canadian Hardcore would be the last defense by The Puerto Rican boys as they lost the COTT World Tag Team titles to the strange team of Josh Jacobs and Jonah Pilgrim. It is a bit of a weak finish to a strong, six month run by The Puerto Rican Boys. It was felt the loss should be to a more established team and it will be interesting how long the run will be for Jacobs and Pilgrim. In the end Puerto Rican Power and Handsome Stranger were pleased with the fact the pair was given a strong run with several defenses and many in the COTT feel their run helped improve the prestige of the belts. Otherwise the rest of the month of June was uneventful for FCW, but it is also believed Puerto Rican Power has a big announcement that might come as soon as The Freedom of Movement in July. Overall things are still vague, but it may have an impact on the future of the Puerto Rican championship. Power and Handsome Stranger have so far this year looked to test out pushing talents that haven't fully been in the main event scene so far so the announcement may further that agenda.

<p>Hey all, sorry for a bit of a delay there, but last week and this next week at work are going to be a bit hectic. Going to try to keep things rolling at a steady pace, but don't be too surprised if July's show isn't posted until the weekend at earliest.</p><p> </p><p> Glad to see several of you commenting and enjoying things. Also want to give thanks to the DotM nomination. That is always humbling to see and I appreciate someone enjoys my writing that much. We are also half way through 2020 already and in game I am in January 2021 so I at least have a few more shows worth of content to work with so hopefully I can keep this wild ride going for a bit longer.</p>

Rayne Man is still on crutches as he tries to get some sort of order as it seems Xavi and the Relentless are arguing with one another.

The match starts off with Amo using his speed to keep Ox somewhat on the defense as he tries to weather the storm and get ahold of the masked opponent. When he finally does he is able to toss Amo about with ease, though Amo does rake the bigger man in the eyes to get the advantage again and bring Ox down to one knee. That is about the best the veteran luchador can do as Ox isn't down for long and regains control.

The champ is having to really deal with two men because he knows it is only a matter of time before the big man gets involved. It is mostly a brawl with little in the way of wrestling through most of this match and eventually Jesus shows he is resourceful as well as powerful. He seems to do enough to goad Jones into trying to get involved. This leads to Ryan Holland looking to eject the big man. While he and Jones argue Chavez crotches Xavi and then hits him with the 187 Neckbreaker. Holland gets back in the ring in time to make the pin and Jesus bails before Jones rushes back in the ring to try and attack. </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Winner and STILL Champion: Jesus Chavez (Defenses: 2)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> Rating: 43 (Jesus Chavez: 33, Xavi Ferrera: 42)</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Of course while looking smug and focusing on Xavi and Jones leaves the champ open to a surprise.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="RAlhLjy.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RAlhLjy.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <em><span style="font-size:8px;">The Surprise</span></em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> El Hijo Del Neutron attacks the champ and starts to lay in some stuff shots.

Still they know how to fight and use their size which is enough to give them a fighting chance. This match also very much turns into a showing of Island Boy Apollo as Kid San Juan just seems a bit mistake prone this match. The match is a short and a bit of a wild one just to help hide the weaknesses of the challengers and Island Boy Apollo sets up Otis Von Battenburg to be taken out by Welcome To The Island.

He does seem a bit unhappy though about something and there are just times where it seems he is sandbagging for Bull Wrecker. Thankfully Wrecker is strong enough to deal with that issue without much effort and the two have a competitive match in spite of that. The two veterans fight it out with Russell coming close to winning a few times to try and go out on a high note. Wrecker seems to think overwise and his brute strength eventually ends up being the key to him winning. He lays out Russell with a Pancake Maker and ruins what very well might be Billy Russell's last match.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Winner: Bull Wrecker</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> Rating: 48 (Bull Wrecker: 44, Billy Russell: 57)</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> O'Hara: "Billy Russell is a FCW legend, but tonight he couldn't come out on top."</p><p> </p><p> Cueball: "Youth wins out here.

That is when he turns about and ends up face to face with his former tag partner. The two big men say nothing as their gazes lock. Neither man moves for a few moments before eventually Bull Wrecker's gaze moves to the title for a brief moment. He then moves out of the way as security was coming out to make sure a fight doesn't break out. Wrecker leaves without incident and Mutant continues his way to the ring.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Rating: 52</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="hVx5Izl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hVx5Izl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="R4bA8O0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/R4bA8O0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>FCW Puerto Rican Championship</strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="RafpKUW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RafpKUW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="HZxt8x2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HZxt8x2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="rBRD96J.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rBRD96J.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>Mutant © vs Harlem Haynes</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> A big beefy boy brawl ensues with nothing fancy really being seen here.

June 2020: Leading up to the Show It is said that Jerry Martin has already recovered from his injury, but due to safety concerns he will not be working a match at FREEDOM's Fury. Though perhaps not in any major stories just yet it is best felt that his health comes first and he will probably not be seen again until July. Bull Wrecker continues to be a hot commodity that FCW uses when it comes to trading talent. It is said in order to get Canadian Hardcore they are sending Bull Wrecker to IPW in exchange for their next show. It is also said recently due to the added work of being used in trades by FCW he has asked for a raise and was given one. Both Puerto Rican Power and Handsome Stranger like Bull Wrecker and are doing their best to keep the man happy as they feel he can continue to be a big time player for them.

May Report Jerry Martin was Injured at FREEDOM Or Death 13 in his match against Doctor Tecnico. Word is he has picked up a bruised pectoral, but it is unknown at what point he was injured. Martin did well to mask the injury to get the match done with the planned finish. Jerry should be healthy in time for the next show, but it is unknown if he will be used or kept off just to be certain he has ample time to recover. Bull Wrecker was not seen at FREEDOM Or Death 13 due to the fact he was already in New York preparing to wrestle for NYCW the following night. His appearance was part of a deal brokered by FCW and NYCW that saw the LA Stars make their FCW debut in a losing effort against the current COTT champions. Meanwhile Bull Wrecker competed at NYCW's Fire Fight where he lost to Crockett Tubbs via intentional disqualification. It is said NYCW is interested in possibly bringing in Bull Wrecker again in the future. The Puerto Rican Boys remain busy as they too were at NYCW's Fire Fight defending the COTT World Tag Team championship against the team of Andrew Harper and Denny King. It was another successful defense and the second time the champs had to fly from Puerto Rico to New York to do back to back shows. The hectic schedule did not end there as Monday they were in Mexico making an appearance on OLLIE's new television show, Directo. It was a non COTT title match oddly enough as The Puerto Rican Boys lost to the team of Amo Del Gato and Dragon Americano. The pair got a few days rest before things picked up again as they finished out the month with two more appearances. The first was an appearance at MAW's Old School Rules where they defended their COTT titles against The Scheme and retained and quickly had to be flown back down to Mexico the next day to participate in OLLIE's Mexico City Showdown XI where the faced the team they beat for the COTT tag titles, The American Cobras. It was yet another successful defense and the end of a busy month for The Puerto Rican Boys. As of now they have no scheduled defenses until FREEDOM's Fury which will be against IPW's Canadian Hardcore. Somehow during his hectic traveling schedule Island Boy Apollo has found time to hit the gym. Already having the look of a star, Apollo has started to show off a more ripped physique in recent weeks. Apollo is still young and is looked at as a future star in FCW. For now he seems content working in the tag ranks, but given his new look his run as a solo act may happen sooner than later. Finally it seems the title change seen at FREEDOM or Death 13 was not always in the plans. The title was going to end up on Mutant, but it was planned to go on longer than it did. After finding out he and Mutant just don't click it was felt that furthering the feud with other matches would hurt Mutant in the long run. That being said Handsome Stranger was more than fine putting the young talent over and at his age he might start to look at staying away from the Puerto Rican title picture. As of right now House Handsome is still together, but it is unsure how long that will remain the case and what direction they might go.

FCW Presents: FREEDOM Or Death 13 Friday, Week 2, May 2020 San Juan Highschool: 300 Attending (Sellout) The show starts with Handsome Stranger marching to the ring with a purpose. Rayne Man is a bit behind on a pair of crutches and wearing a boot to protect his injured ankle. The pair are soon in the ring with Handsome Stranger holding a microphone. Stranger: "Puerto Rican Power, I want you to come out here and make things right. Mutant is a danger to this company and you reward him with another title shot. Look what he did to Rayne here. Mutant should be suspended for such an act. He intentionally injured this man!" Rayne is handed the microphone as he just nods in agreement to what Handsome Stranger had said. Rayne: "That monster was jealous of the fact he couldn't beat me fair. Now I can't wrestle, but here he is getting to wrestle El Jefe? And in a cage? What kind of owner are you?" An unhappy looking one Puerto Rican Power does emerge looking as he has had enough of the griping coming from House Handsome. He gets in the ring and looks to both men before holding his hand out. He is handed the microphone reluctantly and he begins to address both men. PRP: "What happened was an accident. I watched it all go down and it is a shame it happened. We have all had our share of injuries and I do sympathize with you not being able to wrestle I will not punish a man for something that was not his fault. As for you...." The owner gets a bit of a wicked smile as he turns his attention to Handsome Stranger who takes a quick step back. Puerto Rican Power may be retired, but he is still a big man and it seems El Jefe isn't taking chances. PRP: "You get two options. You take on Mutant in a cage or I can really make it interesting. I can shake things up and see how you would like to not only share a cage with Mutant, but I could add Bradford Peverell, Kip Keenan, Hell's Bouncer and Giant Brody as well. Take your pick." He casually flips the microphone to Handsome Stranger who looks a mixture of emotions as he fumbles with the microphone and is actually stunned into silence for a moment. Eventually it is anger that takes over and he points to the owner. Handsome Stranger: "Fine, the match is on. Me and Mutant in a cage. I am going to break his ankle for what he did and you'll only have yourself to blame when it happens." Handsome Stranger helps Rayne out of the ring and the pair exit with Handsome Stranger still looking irate. Puerto Rican Power looks pleased and after a few moments he exits the ring as well. Rating: 62 O'Hara: "Hey everyone this is Dane O'Hara with Cueball Lynch and I must say after being away for six years it feels good to be back in the saddle with you, partner." Cueball: "You always better than Bambino, not by much, but we at least agreed sometimes." O'Hara: "Well you are stuck with me for more than one show this time around. And what a show we have tonight. The cage match shall be a good one and we have a lot of action leading up to it." Cueball: "El Jefe didn't sound pleased there and I have a feeling tonight won't end well for Mutant. I also think the big boy of House Handsome, Juggernaut Jones, might have his first taste of gold." O'Hara: "We also have the LA Stars from NYCW here tonight to take on The Puerto Rican Boys for the COTT World Tag Team championship. I am excited for that one." Cueball: "If they are LA Stars why the hell are they in New York?" O'Hara: "Because the world is a crazy place, Cueball. It looks like the first match is about to start!" King Kong Kennedy vs Marco Gonzales The action does not start out fast and furious as nothing about Kennedy is fast at least. The big man does throw his weight around and allows him to control most of the match against the young Gonzales. Marco does get some offense in, but it never seems to be enough to stagger the massive man he faces. It is thankfully a short match and Kennedy wins with his Kennedy Krush. Winner: King Kong Kennedy Rating: 27 (King Kong Kennedy: 25, Marco Gonzales: 22) O'Hara: "Solid win for the big man, but Shawn's kid looks to have a bright future. This is my first time seeing him." Cueball: "Hanging out with his uncle hurts him. He needs someone proper to groom him. Maybe El Jefe will help mold the kid." O'Hara: "I am unsure that is the answer, but Handsome Stranger is talented. His ego is just inflated." Cueball: "It isn't ego, O'Hara. He is just that damn good." American Standard vs Salvation Very much the future of the tag division can be seen in these two teams, but beyond Martyr the other men all are in need of some more polish. American Standard get a bit more offense in than Young & Wasted did last month against Salvation, but both Styx and Martyr seem to shrug off the pain and just keep going. Once the pair does take control they never relent. It is USAce that ends up on Martyr's shoulders this time and Styx delivers the flying lariat. Salvation soon pick up another win. Winners: Salvation Rating: 30 (Martyr: 36, Styx: 25, USAce: 19, Wild Red Stallion: 16) O'Hara: "Something I don't miss. We have had some crazy guys come through here over the years and these two legit creep me out." Cueball: "You aren't the only one. I don't want get near those guys." Jerry Martin vs Doctor Tecnico The most evenly contested match so far with two relatively newcomers try to gain momentum in FCW. It is a stuff, hard hitting match between the two with Tecnico delivering some really nasty looking suplexes to soften Martin up once he starts to gain the advantage. Martin does fight out of the gordbuster attempt and he starts to rain down some strikes on the good Doctor before he is caught by surprise. Doctor Tecnico breaks out the Iron Claw and slaps it on Martin who flails about and eventually has to give up. Winner: Doctor Tecnico Rating: 33 (Doctor Tecnico: 26, Jerry Martin: 37) Dane O'Hara: "Two other faces I am not familiar with. Or I suppose one face and one mask. Both seem to show promise though." Cueball: "Jerry Martin isn't having much luck coming here. Still unsure about this so called 'Doctor'." Dane O'Hara: "Well you always have been hard to impress." Xavi Ferrera and Juggernaut Jones make their way to the ring. The way Xavi is carrying himself it would almost come off like he was the one having the title match tonight and not the big man. He also does the talking as Jones stands in the ring silently with arms crossed. Xavi: "Jesus Chavez got very very lucky for one night. That luck runs out. Tonight House Handsome is going to have all the gold again. The big man here is going to break Jesus in half and then later tonight Relentless will defeat his two little friends and finally El Jefe will take care of Mutant once and for all. Who knows? Maybe after tonight me and the big boy here will take the titles off of The Puerto Rican Boys as well. No one can stop House Handsome and our domination tonight starts right now." Rating: 39 FCW People's Championship Jesus Chavez © vs Juggernaut Jones with Xavi Ferrera Much less of a match and very much more of a fight. The two big men are just throwing big strikes at one another. As impressive as Jones look he is not exactly great in the ring and the match seems to be set up to hide it as much as they can and the two big guys stick to brawling and nothing too fancy. Jones does get to display his power a few times by getting to pick up and toss Chavez about, but Jesus is tenacious and keeps fighting back. The champ eventually starts rocking Jones with some big punches that brings him down to a knee. He looks like he might be ready to go for the 187, but sensing the big man was in trouble Xavi jumps in the ring and blindsides Jesus. The bell rings for a disqualification as Jesus and Xavi brawl a bit. Jones starts to recover, but Jesus once again tosses Xavi into Jones to create an opening for him to get out of the ring before the numbers game gets him. Winner and STILL Champion: Jesus Chavez (Defenses: 1) Rating: 34 (Jesus Chavez: 39, Juggernaut Jones: 16) O'Hara: "I don't think that went as expected. Xavi outright attacking the champ there in front of the ref. He knew Jones was defeated from the looks of it." Cueball: "Defeated? Hardly! Xavi maybe jumped the gun, but he must have known Chavez was going to have his friends come down sooner than later to help him." O'Hara: "So......the Latino Kings were going to do what House Handsome does and interfere in the match?" Cueball: "House Handsome HELPS their fellow wrestlers. It is not intereference." O'Hara: "....right then. We'll leave it at that. We'll see if Relentless and Handsome Stranger can do better tonight." Kanishoki vs El Hijo Del Neutron El Hijo Del Neutron finds himself with a new test as he faces someone big enough he can't deliver his Neutron Bomb to. He has done his homework though and knows speed is his best friend. It is the first match where he really seems in trouble though as he finds himself being crushed in a bear hug when the big former sumo does catch him. A rake to the eyes allows him to break free and start to get some of his own offense. It is a short affair given Kanishoki's rather limited ability, but Neutron finds a way to win again This case it is getting the big man grounded then rolling him up with his feet on the ropes to get the win. Winner: El Hijo Del Neutron Rating: 42 (El Hijo Del Neutron: 45, Kanishoki: 26) Cueball: "I really like this Neutron guy. He is smart and finds a way to overcome a man twice his size." O'Hara: "Not exactly a clean win, but a win in this case. El Hijo Del Neutron is undefeated so far here in FCW, correct?" Cueball: "And he might be for a good long time. If he keeps this up there is gold in his future." O'Hara: "We'll see what happens. As of right now he will be trying to keep his undefeated streak alive." COTT World Tag Team Championship The Puerto Rican Boys © vs The LA Stars A well contested tag team match with The Puerto Rican Boys looking to continue their impressive run with the COTT Tag Titles. The LA Stars are no pushovers by any means and are a polished tag team in their own right. They do well at double teaming when they can get away with it and they even score a few close two counts over the course of the match. It is just hard for them to get momentum when Island Boy Apollo gets involved and he uses his power to often push the match in the champ's favor. The Stars do well, but it is LA Star #2 that finds himself on the receiving end of a Welcome to The Island from the champs. Winners and STILL Champions: The Puerto Rican Boys (Defenses: 8) Rating: 46 (Island Boy Apollo: 64, Kid San Juan: 52, LA Star #1: 33, LA Star #2: 30) O'Hara: "These boys have been stellar fighting champs from what I have been told and now seen. Another challenge faced and overcome." Cueball: "We'll see how long it lasts. They are traveling a lot and that wears a man down." O'Hara: "This is true, but I feel these two at least has shown the rest of the COTT that FCW are no pushovers." Bradford Peverell vs Giant Brody Both men haven't been having the best of luck as of late and the desperation can be seen in the match. Both men are just going all out in this one with the desire to get on the winning side of things for the first time in awhile. Brody dominates the early stages, but Peverell finds ways to stay in the match and manages to get his shoulder up on some very close two counts. For Peverell it is his powerful fists that come into play. A few well placed punches rock Brody and slow the giant down for the first time. The big man does dodge the Dream Left Hook though and headbutts Peverell in response which dazes him a moment. Brody goes to bounce off the ropes and deliver a big lariat, but meets a Dream Left Hook that stops him in his tracks but doesn't knock him down. Peverell looks surprised and while Brody is dazed he nails another Dream Left Hook which staggers Brody, but he doesn't go down once again. Shocked by it Peverell rears back and delivers a third that knocks Brody out of the ring where he lands in a heap. Brody gets to his feet, but it is a bit too dazed to beat the ten count and Bradford Peverell picks up a victory. Winner via Countout: Bradford Peverell Rating: 51 (Bradford Peverell: 57, Giant Brody: 49) O'Hara: "I don't know how he did it, but Bradford Peverell gets a big win right there." Cueball: "Did you see that though? It took three...THREE Dream Left Hooks. Most men can't stand after one." O'Hara: "Brody is a monster of a man and it showed right there. Even in defeat he wasn't pinned and it took everything Bradford had to win this one." FCW Tag Team Championship Relentless © vs The Latino Kings The two teams go at it quickly and unlike the match before it is a lot less heavy hitting and more quick, high flying moves. The teams are evenly matched, but in the case of House Handsome there is always the need to look over one's shoulder. It is that distraction alone that allows Relentless often to be in control of the match. That alone isn't enough to keep the Latino Kings down though. Of course as the match drags on and the Kings start to show some fire and get the advantage.... Juggernaut Jones is charging down towards the ring, but Jesus Chavez quickly chases him down and the two big men get to brawl outside. Jones doesn't get involved, but him and Jesus outside are quite a distraction. Surprise! Jones seems to have been a decoy anyways and with the match in chaos now Xavi enters the ring holding one of the tag belts. He has Ramone hold Hector Galindo and comes charging to nail him right in the head, but Hector slips free and Xavi wipes out Ramone instead. Hector quickly kicks a surprised Xavi right in the balls and picks up the title. He uses the title to hit Rob Reynolds from behind who had been fighting with Rudy and quickly discards it. The duo dropkick Xavi out of the ring then set up Reynolds so Hector Galindo can nail the Shooting Star Press. Ryan Holland finally gets his attention away from the brawl outside to see Galindo make the pin. New champs! Winners and NEW tag team champions: The Latino Kings (6th Reign) Rating: 49 (Rudy Velasquez: 52, Hector Galindo: 50, Rob Reynolds: 51, Ricochet Ramone: 42) Cueball: "You have to be KIDDING ME!" O'Hara: "The plan Xavi Ferrera had backfires and how House Handsome are down two titles. It all is on the shoulders of Handsome Stranger now to make sure House Handsome escapes with at least some gold tonight." Cueball: "This whole night is turning into a big sham. I can't believe this. Puerto Rican Power is outright trying to sabotage House Handsome." O'Hara: "I feel House Handsome is doing a well enough job of their own." Kip Keenan comes out looking ready for his match, but after getting in the ring he asks for a microphone. Kip Keenan: "I know why I am taking on Hell's Bouncer as do you, Davis. You talk about me being the coward and how you are the best, but yet here you are hiding behind the big man. How about you back up your claims and right now find out who's really the best. I'll show you who the real coward is." To no surprise Davis Wayne Newton is not alone when he emerges. Hell's Bouncer is at his side and DWN looks to have a bit of a cocky grin on his face along with his own microphone. DWN: "You are dense, Kip. I told you I would show you I am the best when I feel like it. Be honest. You are just trying to act like a tough guy to get out of a match against Hell's Bouncer here. It wouldn't matter either way because if it wasn't him I suppose it would be me exposing you for what you are. Someone who talks the talk, but can't walk the walk. No, you don't get the honor of wrestling me tonight. Instead I will just watch my friend here break you." Kip seems far from pleased, but also doesn't back down and he motions for Hell's Bouncer to get in the ring and come at him. Rating: 52 Kip Keenan vs Hell's Bouncer with Davis Wayne Newton Kip goes right after the big man, but Bouncer is just pure power and early on the strikes seem to be doing nothing, but to anger Bouncer. He overpowers Kip and quickly takes control. A lot of the early action is Bouncer dominating and Kip just trying to survive. He gets offense in here and there and it seems to be wearing Bouncer down a bit, but it is a constant uphill battle as Davis Wayne Newton just mocks Kip from outside. Kip at one point does dodge a corner charge and starts to get more offense in. DWN doesn't look pleased as Hell's Bouncer is starting to have trouble with the smaller wrestler. He gets annoyed enough he gets up on the ring apron to cause a distraction and gets decked by an annoyed Kip who perhaps should have kept his eye on his opponent. When he turns back about he eats a big boot and is laid out by the monster. Hell's Bouncer picks up Kip and much to DWN's delight he delivers the Damnation Drop and gets the pin. Winner: Hell's Bouncer Rating: 50 (Kip Keenan: 50, Hell's Bouncer: 37) Davis Wayne Newton joins Hell's Bouncer in the ring and the two start to work over the battered Kip and perhaps looking to put him away for good. It looks like one man has had enough as Joffy Laine comes into the ring swinging a chair about. Davis Wayne Newton bails as Joffy nails Hell's Bouncer who is rocked a bit, but does not go down. Joffy stands over Kip who is trying to recover as Davis Wayne Newton urges Hell's Bouncer to leave. The big man doesn't seem to want to listen at first, but relents and leaves Joffy and Kip Keenan in the ring. DWN still looks cocky as Kip is still on the ground barely able to move while Joffy checks on him. Rating: 55 Cueball: "What is Joffy Laine doing? He has no horse in this race. I never seen him and Kip be buddy buddy." O'Hara: "Sometimes a man can only stand so much before he can stand no more. He might not be a friend, but maybe he saw the unfair advantage and decided to even the odds." Cueball: "His funeral. I don't think Hell's Bouncer is going to forget about that chair shot any time soon." O'Hara: "It is uncertain if it is for just tonight, but at least for a moment Kip has an ally right now." FCW Puerto Rican Championship Cage Match: Handsome Stranger © vs Mutant There is nowhere to run for the champ as he is locked in the cage with the monster known as Mutant. That being said even within the cage's confines the champ is a veteran and well versed wrestler. He just finds himself having to play it smart and it works well for awhile. He also seems to be dead set on keeping his promise in trying to break Mutant's ankle. Not a bad move since keeping the big man grounded is a shrewd move. The winner must win by pinfall or submission and the latter seems to be what Handsome Stranger is aiming for. There is no real showboating from the champ and so far no backup showing up as well. Just a match between the two that sees Mutant eventually get some momentum when he breaks free from an ankle lock attempt and starts to overpower Handsome Stranger. The champ starts to get beat pillar to post and still no signs of anyone coming out. With most rules out the window the champ resorts to anything he can. Clawing at Mutant's eyes, cheap shots and even at one point biting the big man. It just ends up not being enough. Mutant is hellbent on coming out on top and he starts to throw the champ about. In the end the two are in the middle of the ring. Handsome Stranger is only standing because he is being held up by Mutant. El Jefe says something to the big man in defiance, but he has no strength left. Mutant delivers the Tina Turner and makes the pin. El Jefe has finally been overthrown. Winner and NEW Champion: Mutant (1st Reign) Rating: 48 (Handsome Stranger: 45, Mutant: 41) O'Hara: "What a time to return to FCW for me. Just in time to see the crowning of a new champion!" Cueball: "This is a nightmare! House Handsome has lost all their titles? Where was everyone? I understand Rayne Man could do little, but the rest should have been there to help out their leader!" O'Hara: "Even in defeat Handsome Stranger showed why he held onto the title so long. Yes having his cohorts helped greatly, but tonight he showed one on one he can still hang with the best." Cueball: "Great, now we have this psycho with the title. Something has to be done here." O'Hara: "The reign of Mutant starts tonight. Be sure to come back next month to see how everything unfolds!" Final rating: 49 WrestleWorld Viewership: 4,937

<p>Mistake on my part everyone. Somehow the six man from last month made it onto May's card.

Kid San Juan this time got a solo call from OLLIE to start the month and saw him in a high profile match where he teamed with El Hijo De Espada in a losing effort against Silver Tiger and Mr Lucha III. Soon after the team was off to the west coast where they defended their COTT World Tag Team titles at IPW's Mayhem 6 where they won a triple threat match against The Night Terrors and The Mexican Hardcore Killers. The Puerto Rican Boys remain champions and are enjoying a competitive reign where they return to FCW to defend against NYCW's LA Stars at FREEDOM Or Death 13.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="dvyUDn2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dvyUDn2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Weeks after his last FCW appearance Billy Russell has announced he will be retiring soon.

A former MMA star and big name for INSPIRE, Bill Russell has been with FCW since 2010 and is a one time Puerto Rican champion. Even if his titles were few he was always a big name at the top of the card that was involved with big feuds up until the past two or three years where he was involved in a more limited role. It is unknown if he will compete in FCW before retirement, but if he does it will certainly be a treat to the fans attending that night. It will be an end of an era that sees one of Puerto Rico's biggest names going away.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="53456" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">FCW - FREEDOM Or Death 13</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>FCW Puerto Rican Championship: Cage Match</strong></p><p> </p><p> Handsome Stranger © vs Mutant</p><p> </p><p> <strong>COTT Tag Team Championship</strong></p><p> </p><p> The Puerto Rican Boys © vs The LA Stars</p><p> </p><p> <strong>FCW Tag Team Championship</strong></p><p> </p><p> Relentless © vs The Latino Kings</p><p> </p><p> <strong>FCW People's Championship</strong></p><p> </p><p> Jesus Chavez © vs Juggernaut Jones</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Other Confirmed Matches</strong></p><p> </p><p> Hell's Bouncer vs Kip Keenan</p><p> </p><p> Giant Brody vs Bradford Peverell</p><p> </p><p> Kanishoki vs El Hijo Del Neutron</p><p> </p><p> Doctor Tecnico vs Jerry Martin</p><p> </p><p> Salvation vs American Standard</p><p> </p><p> Marco Gonzales vs King Kong Kennedy</p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Apparently hours before the show he handed in a one month notice. It was a shock to both Puerto Rican Power and Handsome Stranger as Bambino has been an integral part of the announce team for many years at this point. Lee offered to work May's show, but in the end it was decided FREEDOM of Speech would be his last. A familiar face will be replacing Bambino as Dane O'Hara is coming back for the time being. If this is a long term solution remains to be seen, but O'Hara was with FCW from its inception up until 2012 when Bambino took over. O'Hara was last seen by FCW fans on 2014 when he covered for Lee Bambino who was ill.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="JYwR4HH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/JYwR4HH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The match between Rayne Man and Mutant obviously came to a rushed ending due to an awkward landing from Rayne Man. Sadly it seems Rayne has suffered a broken ankle and will be out for a few months. It is being said he will still be featured, but obviously will be kept out of anything physical. It was just a moment of bad luck and no blame is being placed on Mutant who was apologizing heavily after the match. Rayne Man does not apparently show any animosity to the big man and there is no beef between the two wrestlers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="DeoPC2x.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DeoPC2x.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="0fw782k.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0fw782k.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The month marked an appearance of yet another new team in FCW as Martyr made his first appearance since late 2019 and had a new friend. Styx was brought in for a tryout match like Wild Red Stallion and both men were kept. Much in the same manner Styx was put into a team to help strengthen the tag division while also letting Styx work with Martyr who is a more established talent. Given the results of the match they look like they will be made to be a serious threat from the start and how far they go remains to be seen.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="chr1YBG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/chr1YBG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Dxun71v.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Dxun71v.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Pictures have also surfaced that FCW continue to work on improving their appearance since they are now being featured across North America and are wanting to make a good impression. Rudy Velasquez is starting to show more muscle and is looking in the best shape of his career. Perhaps the most talented of The Latino Kings this might be his push to get noticed by larger companies. Ox Mastadon has perhaps made the biggest change to his look over the years. Once weighing at over four hundred and fifty pounds at one point he is now slimmed down to the point he has dropped over a hundred pounds and is closer to the three hundred pound mark these days. Still a big man the lack of gut now makes him look like even more of a star and it would be no surprise if management reward him with a push given both his loyalty and commitment to get in better shape.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="2BI4KxG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2BI4KxG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="adgjxTB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/adgjxTB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The Puerto Rican Boys continue their reign as COTT World Tag Team champions and they got to travel to Mexico at the end of April to be part of a big show for OLLIE. OLLIE is once again on television and to promote the fact The Puerto Rican Boys defended their titles against the team of Dragon Americano and Amo Del Gato. Apparently OLLIE was very impressed by both Kid San Juan and Island Boy Apollo so they look forward to working with the team again. OLLIE were so impressed in fact Island Boy Apollo got invited to perform at their event Luchaslam XXV where he got to team with Luis Montero Jr. and North Star Jr. in a winning effort against Dragon Americano and Coulrophobia. The Puerto Rican Boys continue to get excellent exposure due to their status as champions and have been nothing, but professional which further makes FCW to be looked on in a good light.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="hVx5Izl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hVx5Izl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p>

They kind of keep their distance at first wondering what to do. There is little the pair can do as they try to take the fight to the two masked men, but find themselves on a bad end of a beatdown. The young team are tossed about with ease and Bret gets sent flying outside. Martyr puts up Taylor Norton on his shoulders as his masked partner climbs up to the top turnbuckle and delivers a flying lariat.

This match seems to favor him too as he controls a majority of this match. USAce shows some fire and gets some offense in, but overall experience seems to be the big factor. Del Neutron has been wrestling far longer and he isn't above resorting to some cheap tricks, though the latter isn't really needed tonight.

The majority of the match is also House Handsome breaking every rule they can to keep the advantage while also keeping Poker distracted. It looks like smooth sailing for awhile until perhaps House Handsome get too cocky. They look to have Hector Galindo on his last legs, but he manages to duck a big lariat from Xavi and he tags in Jesus Chavez who starts to clean house. Things start to break down again and the ring fills up leaving Poker trying to restore order. Chavez charges at Xavi looking to deliver a big flying forearm, but Xavi sees it coming and actually pulls Ricochet Ramone in the way as he staggers away leaving his partner to get laid out. Xavi tries to capitalize, but he is waylaid by Rudy who dropkicks him from behind and sends Xavi outside. Jones goes to help Xavi to his feet only for moments later to have Rob Reynolds come flying at them and the three go down to the ground due to Jesus press slamming Reynolds out of the ring. Ramone is still out, but Hector Galindo hits him with a Shooting Star Press for extra measure and The Latino Kings win a wild match.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Winners: The Latino Kings</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> Rating: 49 (Rudy Velasquez: 43, Hector Galindo: 42, Jesus Chavez: 40, Rob Reynolds: 46, Xavi Ferrera: 40, Ricochet Ramone: 38)</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Bambino: "The Latino Kings do it!

Both teams are going all out and the momentum shifts constantly as each team often looks close to winning, but just can't quite do enough to put the other team away for good.

The two brawl about and surprisingly Joffy gets momentum at times. It actually seems to be frustrating Giant Brody. It leads to Brody eventually getting a bit too carried away as he starts to lay a beatdown on Joffy in the corner and when David Poker tries to stop him and pull him away he gets tossed across the ring by Giant Brody.

Ox is the first to show some red with a few minutes later Bull Wrecker starts to sport his own crimson mask. There is nothing fancy between these two men that are unloading with their biggest moves and strikes. Wrecker finally gets it to where he gets the chain around Ox's neck and starts to choke the other big man with it while standing behind Ox. Mastadon fights and tries to get free, but Bull Wrecker might very well be the stronger man and keep his grip. Eventually Ox starts to slump and the big man drops to the ground unconcious.

A good eye rake allows Rayne Man to get rolling on offense. Rayne Man controls for awhile, but then Mutant starts a comeback when the match takes a bit of a turn. While the two are fighting Rayne Man comes down on his left food wrong and it looks like he does something to his ankle. He is limping a bit and it seems they speed along and change things on the fly. Mutant quickly hits Rayne Man with the Tina Turner and gets the pin.
