21CW Presents: Episode 26 Wednesday, Week 1, August 2020 Calling the action: Des Greeves, Martin Bloydell and Jeff Nova Overall Rating: 63 We opened the show with the triumphant return of Roly Muckletruck…!!! Who was followed out onto the stage by Lance and Kelly Martin, and their manager Leo Price…!!! The crowd sang along to Roly’s Scottish jaunt, as he proudly strolled to the ring drinking an IRN BRU, and handing out cans of his favourite drink to the front row… before climbing into the ring and grabbing microphones… Roly Muckletruck: “Pure Dead Brilliant…!! To be back…!!” Roly soaked in the cheers… and held up Lance and Kelly’s hands… The group, that included Joss Thompson, have been absent from 21CW for the entire month of July… thanks to losing the ‘Fight To End All Fights’… 5 on 5 war… in which Beast Bantom TURNED on them, and joined the other team… Roly Muckletruck: “Did ya miss me… eh…?! Ah missed youz… No Ah dunny know about youz boys… bu’ Ah’ve been watchin’ Uni’ed since we’ve been gone… An’ Ah’ve also called in a few favours… Played some tricks on yer boy Beast Bantom… Got in his heid a li’le… eh…?!” Leo Price: “What you’ve done to Beast so far… is no more than he deserved… but now that you’re back… the three of you… have to take it to the next level… SO at London Calling… Lance and Kelly Martin will take on Luke Cool and Rolling Johnny Stones…!!” Roly waited… and then came the ‘big one’… Roly Muckletruck: “An’ also at London Calling… Me and Beast… Man Te’ Man…!! It’s time…!!” Price then confirmed that the group hadn’t heard from Joss Thompson in the last couple of weeks… According to Price, his best friend took it pretty badly that he lost his first match back in 21CW… The crowd were a little confused… and Thompson didn’t come out… Evan Alpass [vs] ‘The Anarchist’ Antithesis Solid opener here, in which both men hit some nice offense. Alpass is growing into his skin, and starting to show his skills, but Antithesis is crazy, and Alpass found it hard to show off tonight. ‘The Anarchist’ ended up clocking Alpass over the head with his Fire Extinguisher while occupying the referee with a steel chair – and then covered him so the ref couldn’t see the blood coming from his eyebrow! 54 We learned that the Main Event tonight would be a star-studded affair… and a quasi-rematch from last week’s Main Event… Apollo Prince and Clifford Wilson will team up once again… but they’ll need to find a partner… Their opponents will be Edward Cornell and Mark Adonis again… and their partner J-B Cash, who delivered a cheap shot to Prince last week… No news yet on who the partner of the fan favourites will be though… Walker Van Cleer [vs] BW Eddie Another solid match, and BW Eddie continued his losing streak – much to the joy of the fans, who hate everything about him. The Dutch newcomer WVC won his third match to go 3 and 0, with his ‘High Elevation Cross Body’. 53 We cut to the back next, and found ‘The House of Hell’ stable… all together…!! Edward Cornell: “Last week… I pinned the Number One Contender for the 21CW World Title… It’s only a matter of time, before I take my Title BACK… and the House of Hell begin our domination of United…” There was a knock at the door, and in walked Cornell and Adonis’ partner for tonight… J-B Cash… Who has previously teamed with Grave Digger at Partners In Crime… Cash attempted a fist-bump with Grave Digger, but the big man was having none of it… J-B Cash: “You uhh… You wan’ed to see me, Cornell…?!” Edward Cornell: “Mr. Cash… Please… Come in… Don’t mind them… I know they’re scary, but they’re just here to protect the interests of The House of Hell… Now… let’s get down to ‘Business’… Here… have a seat…” Cornell was a little bit ‘too’ accommodating to Cash, who looked terrified… Doomsday… Grave Digger… and The Black Hats all glared at him as he slowly lowered himself into the chair, and we cut away as Cornell explained that HE would be pinning Apollo Prince tonight…!! Elsewhere in the back, 21CW UK Champion Viktor Beskov confronted his rival, Joey Beauchamp…!! The two coming face to face… and nose to nose… Viktor Beskov: “Feelin’ confident, are we… ‘Breeze’…?! Let’s see how confident you are… come London Calling… When it’s me an’ you out there… in tha ring… 1 on 1…!!” All of a sudden, Joey Beauchamp flew forward, and headbutted Beskov…!! But it seemed as though ‘The Breeze’ was shoved from behind, because both men fell to the floor… However... It was soon revealed that Beauchamp didn’t get shoved… He was hit over the back of the head… by a Fire Extinguisher… ‘The Anarchist’ Antithesis stood over Beauchamp’s fallen body… and then waited for Beskov to climb back to his feet… Dazed and confused, ‘Russian Bear’ staggered until Antithesis clocked him with the weapon too… before stomping off… happy with his handy work…!! ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] Local Enhancement Talent Cain Carlisle is on a roll right now. This match marked his fourth win in a row, and his fifth in the last two months. He hit his ‘Mark of Cain’ Coffin Drop to win it, on around 4 minutes. 57 In the back, Sebastian Koller walked through a corridor and bumped into the veteran Clifford Wilson… Wilson and his partner for tonight Apollo Prince, are looking for a third partner to take on Edward Cornell, Mark Adonis and J-B Cash in the Main Event later on… But while the fans thought that Wilson would ask Koller to be the third man… Wilson instead just walked on after a short acknowledgment and mutual respect… Phillip ‘Cooper Man’ Cooper was shown lurking in the shadows… and he popped out from behind some crates… Phillip Cooper: “Now then, Sebastian… That were dead MAD, that… Wilson and Prince are gaggin’ for a partner… an’ he jus’ flat out ignored ya, lad… Tooooold you…” Koller shook his head, and it was his turn to brush Cooper off… but the hat-loving Manc smirked as Koller left the scene… Last week, we saw Darin Flynn pull The Professor’s trousers down to his ankles…!! As a direct result, tonight we’ll see, Flynn and his partner Beau Boulder taking on Professor’s project: The Bern Boys in tag team action… w/ w/ Beau Boulder & Darin Flynn w/ KT Devonshire [vs] The Bern Boys w/ The Professor Another good match here, but the two Swiss youngsters were incredibly focused, and didn’t allow the would-be detectives gain any momentum at all. With The Professor’s help, (he hit Boulder with his Cane), Fabian Schwarz rolled up Flynn to win it. 53 In a pre-taped segment, the 21CW United Tag Team Champions Kenobi High were at their training school… with their proteges: Kian Owens and Padraig O’Hearne… A sign above the ring read ‘The Temple’… and there was a large free-standing punch bag directly in the middle of the ring, the same colour, and a similar height to the ring posts… Christopher Lister: “Last week… We were booed by the 21CW fans…” Jase Cole: “As is their right…” Christopher Lister: “Quite… But understand it, I did not… We do everything right… We are peacekeepers… There is no passion, there is serenity… There is no chaos, there is harmony… There is no death, there is… The Force…” Lister and Cole agreed that the group must spend some time training the ‘Padawans’… but as they were talking, Kian Owens found a light tube under the ring behind them…!! He held the light tube up, but Lister told him, he’s not ready to use it yet… Next up, we learned that Jonathan Faust and Aldous Blackfriar will be taking on Grave Digger and The Black Hats at London Calling…!! Faust and Aldous will need TWO tag team partners… and next week, they will name those partners…!! [PICS: Smithie/Misery w/ Askey VS Frisby and Gulliver] Smiling John Smithie & Mark Misery w/ Emmett Askey [vs] Chuck Frisby & Gulliver Fresh off their match last week against Kenobi High, where the crowd cheered them, Smithie and Misery stepped into the ring with a team the fans hate in Chuck Frisby and Gulliver. Once again, the ‘bored’, and ‘miserable’ duo didn’t really want to be there, and the crowd loved everything they did. Misery stepped out of the way of a flying cross body from Frisby. Smithie refused to run the ropes for an attempted ‘Spear’ from Gulliver. However, their antics only wound Frisby and his bodyguard up. Gulliver ended up hitting ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ (Codebreaker) FOUR TIMES on Smithie – much to the dismay of the live audience. 44 Finally, it was time for the Main Event… Edward Cornell and Mark Adonis welcomed J-B Cash to the ring as their third partner… but made it clear on the microphone that he is NOT a member of the House of Hell stable… 21CW World Champion Apollo Prince came out next, followed by his opponent for London Calling: Clifford Wilson… The two men waited, and then their third partner arrived… To the shock of just about no one… Returning after a one month suspension… JOSS THOMPSON…!! Apollo Prince, Clifford Wilson & Joss Thompson [vs] Edward Cornell, Mark Adonis & J-B Cash Chaotic Main Event here, and one which didn’t last very long. Cornell, Adonis and Cash isolated the Champion Prince, and kept him away from his corner - but he soon found a way to tag Joss Thompson in. The big American started throwing fists, and throwing people around – but he never quite got his hands on Edward Cornell! For the finish, Clifford Wilson took a super kick from Cash, FOR Apollo Prince, and saved his teammate from the move. Prince was then able to plant an elbow on Cash, leading to Joss Thompson hitting the ‘Clean Cutter’ and scoring the win. Both Cornell and Adonis could have saved Cash, but they decided to leave him to the wolves and leave the ring and head up the ramp. 53 After the match, Joss Thompson grabbed a microphone… Joss Thompson: “Hey ED… Where do you think, you’re goin’ to huh…?! I’m not done with you, pal… Not by a LONG shot… you thought you got rid of me…? I was gone for a MONTH… At home… like a caged animal… Well now…? I’m outta my cage, man… and I’m ready to tare you… limb… from limb…!! So at London Calling… I’m teaming with another ANIMAL… Me and my best friend ‘The Lion’ Leo Price… are gonna team up one more time… against YOU… and ADONIS… In a Streets Of London STREET FIGHT…!!” The crowd exploded… It’s been 12+ years since Joss Thompson and Leo Price teamed up… Streets Of London Street Fights are normally bloody affairs, with multiple weapons and carnage… To put these four in the match is going to end badly, for sure… Adonis ran Price down with a CAR not too long ago… and Joss hates Edward Cornell… Joss also cost Cornell his World Championship… An intriguing match for London Calling… that won’t be for the faint hearted…

So it's one vote a piece for the two brands... I'm glad you've enjoyed some of the names mentioned there. Prince/Cooper was a fun one on United for me, so I might say that United pips it. Kingdom have gaps for sure, and I've tried to raise the stock of people to fill them - but it's been a long process, and in that time United's roster has gained popularity and relevance. They have so many Major Stars now as a result. Draft is being written as we speak

Predictions for United, Episode 26, Week 1, August 2020 Evan Alpass [vs] ‘The Anarchist’ Antithesis Walker Van Cleer [vs] BW Eddie ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] ??? Boulder & Flynn w/ KT Devonshire [vs] The Bern Boys w/ The Professor Smithie & Misery w/ Emmett Askey [vs] Chuck Frisby & Gulliver Apollo Prince, Clifford Wilson & ??? [vs] Edward Cornell, Mark Adonis & J-B Cash Can you believe it, we're into August 2020!? Just to give you guys a bit of an update, I'm currently writing September Week 3 and preparing for Dangerous Alliances... plus a DRAFT so there's plenty of shows fully written and ready to post. Big debut coming at We Will Rock You, which will balance Kingdom's Main Event scene out nicely. I also really liked the graphics for that show. The next PPV you'll see is London Calling (I used The Clash's artwork to create graphics for that). That's at the end of August week 2... Which show is having a better year so far?

21CW Presents: Episode 26 Wednesday, Week 1, AUGUST 2020 Calling the action: Steve Smith and Dane Rowley Overall Rating: 69 We opened the show with Kingdom General Manager Colin Chalke in his office, with ‘Rough Justice’ Tommy Cornell… When in walked Buff Martinez and his manager Kathleen Lee… Buff’s shoulder was covered in kinesio tape… Buff and Kathleen stood silently, as Cornell and Chalke glared at them… Buff Martinez: “Pleassse… continue…” Tommy Cornell: “Alright… So as I was sayin’ son… Wade Orson used MY move to win at Wicked… and… Let’s face it… He didn’t pin me, did he…!?” Buff Martinez: “Ohhhh I see how eet iss… You’re in here… Cornell Politickin’… I see you, Cornell… I see you… An’ how about this… You want the next shot, 1 on 1, at Orson…?! EARN it… Nex’ week… Agains’ me…!!” Chalke liked the sound of the match, and booked it there and then… Cornell versus Martinez next week… with a shot at Wade Orson’s 21CW World Heavyweight Title on the line…!! But will Buff be 100% by then...!? w/ w/ ‘The Master of the Old School’ Aurelian Bradley w/ Welsh Dragon [vs] ‘Cowboy’ Buck Winchester w/ The Booth Great first match of the show here, and no surprise as it featured two of the most exciting in-ring performers on the brand. Bradley stretched every part of Buck’s limbs, but ‘Cowboy’ had a lot of help out there. Late on, Welsh Dragon got fed up of ‘The Booth’ and flew from the turnbuckle to take them out – much to the delight of the fans. Bradley was distracted watching it though, and then walked onto a huge Lariat from Cowboy, and was pinned following his ‘Neckbreaker Onto Knee’! 60 Next up, ‘Jilted’ Loxley Robbins headed to the ring… and he had a microphone with him… Loxley Robbins: “Alright… This week… I wanna talk to the ‘Security Guards’ Blake Belushi has hired to watch his back… I’m not stupid… I know who you two are… So why don’t you come to the ring… and I’ll turn your Northern Lights OUT…!!” It didn’t take long for the duo to head to the ring in their suits… but they began removing jackets, and shirts as they walked… However, as soon as they slid into the ring… Daniel Black Francis appeared from out of nowhere alongside Loxley…!! Daniel Black Francis: “Yeah Mon…!! Tag Team Match…!!” Loxley Robbins & Daniel Black Francis [vs] The Northern Lights Another fine match here, but Rolling Johnny Stones (I MEAN LOXLEY ROBBINS) wasn’t exactly happy that ‘D-B-F’ had joined him for an unexpected tag team match. Late on though, he was glad to have the fun-loving fan favourite in his corner for the tag! For the finish, Francis hit ‘Dreadlock Drop’ (DDT) on Riddick Jordan to win it! 66 We cut to a pre-taped video next, showing some of the contract negotiations with new 21CW arrival: Montgomery Croft… Both brands want ‘Million Dollar Monty’… but it doesn’t matter how much of a monetary package they offer him… He’s a millionaire… They need to be creative, and offer him other ‘perks’ as he called it… to get him to sign for their show… More on this story as we get it… Next up, Phil Harmonic lead his group Edison Silva and Kelvin Badberry to the ring… Phil Harmonic: “Tommy Cornell can go screw himself…!! And as for BEDLAM… ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ was taken OUT… by ME… Making me more ‘Dangerous’ than him… and I stopped him beating War Machine in their Best of 7 Series… So War Machine… You’re WELCOME…!!” Harmonic said BEDLAM won’t be back any time soon after the job he did on him… but he was interrupted mid-flow by his opponent tonight: Nate Manchester… w/ ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ Phil Harmonic w/ Edison Silva & Kelvin Badberry Harmonic was angry tonight. He wanted to teach Manchester a lesson, and he wasn’t afraid to throw Nate to his boys at ringside, to allow Edison Silva to use his MMA striking ability, and Kelvin Badberry to crush him with his sheer size. Harmonic easily demolished him, and pinned him with a Flying Leg Drop. 43 Backstage, 21CW National Champion Blake Belushi was bundling Artemis Ayre-Rochester and Thurston Darcy III into the back of their van, having watched their hired security guards lose to Loxley Robbins and Daniel Black Francis!! Their former stablemate and friend: Loxley Robbins was coming around the corner with a baseball bat… hence them running and panicking to get into the van… Lox couldn’t catch them, and the van sped off… but not before revealing the face of a man stowed away out of the back window… Loxley’s tag team partner from earlier tonight: Daniel Black Francis… In the ring, Kevin Jones and Jeremy Allen were stood with microphones… Jeremy Allen: “I’ve heard the noises… ‘He’s too slow’… ‘He’s too big’… ‘He doesn’t have the stamina anymore’… I’ve heard them, and I’m here to disprove them…!! SO… If ANYONE in the back…” Kevin Jones: “Jez, you don’t have to d…” Jeremy Allen: “IF ANYONE in the back… would like a shot… consider this an Open Challenge… Jeremy Allen All-In Challenge… Let’s G…” Before he could finish, Allen was interrupted by the one entrance music nobody wants to hear when they’re stood in the ring… w/ w/ Jeremy Allen w/ Kevin Jones [vs] War Machine w/ Cliff King Short match, and given Allen’s stamina levels, and the fact that he was in the ring with a killer, it was probably for the best. War Machine won it with his ‘Choke Bomb’ (Batista Bomb) which was all the more impressive on the 360lb veteran. 55 After the match, War Machine continued the beat down, and took things too far… Kevin Jones slid in and shoved the big man… which he laughed at, but decided to back down from… Jones leant over the ropes as War Machine was lead away by his manager ‘The Executive Consultant’ Cliff King… Jones then checked on Allen, who was in a lot of pain… [PICS: Alfonso VS Stoat] ‘The Furious Bi-Curious’ Alfonso D’Angelo [vs] Stevie ‘Smasher’ Stoat Stevie Stoat is a well-travelled, well-decorated, veteran of the sport – but even he has never faced anyone as flamboyant as Alfonso D’Angelo before! ‘Smasher’ couldn’t handle the ‘flirting’, and his anger got the better of him – eventually leading to the ‘Anaconda Vice’ (Head Scissors Camel Clutch) and a tap out! 51 In the back, Ricky Storm and Sifu were doing their final preparations for the Main Event against Wade Orson and Landon Mallory… When the Lee FamiLee walked up…!! There was a moment of tension between the two groups… particularly as Cousin Konrad glared at Storm with all the intensity he normally brings… But big Gorilla Lee was on hand to break that tension… Gorilla Lee: “Alright, alright, alright… Listen boys… We popped down here to wish you luck against Orson and Mallory… With (Leigh) Burton not here, this is a big chance for you… But don’t get it twisted… JK and I… are number one contenders…” JK Lee: “That’s right… but with Burton’s nose broken… we think it’s an ideal time to test it… So I say… At WE WILL ROCK YOU… We take Burton and Mallory’s Tag Team Titles… and hang them above the ring… in a LADDER MATCH!!” Gorilla Lee: “And we think… You two boys should come along too… since you’re a pain in our butts…!!” Storm and Sifu accepted… and began to leave… but Gorilla had one more thing to add… Gorilla Lee: “At ‘We Will Rock You’… I’ll bring the RUCKUS… To alllllll these motherf…” Andrew Lee quickly interrupted by putting his hand on Gorilla’s mouth… which he looked frustrated by… Andrew explained that he can't say things like that... before telling Storm and Sifu to head to the ring… Crouching Storm, Hidden Sifu [vs] Wade Orson & Landon Mallory Fun Main Event here, between two teams who hate each other! Storm and Sifu would have loved to have gotten their hands on Leigh Burton tonight, but Orson and Mallory would have to do. Burton’s omission looked like it was helping Crouching Storm, Hidden Sifu, because Storm would normally go over the top with his anger towards the snake like fighter, but tonight he was much more focused. However, when Burton showed up at the end of the fight, and grabbed Storm’s leg as he hit the ropes, it opened the door for a ‘Springbok Ram’ Spear from Mallory, who got the pin! 65 A fight broke out between Storm, Sifu, and Burton and his friends… but the three Champions left the ring when Sifu grabbed a ladder…!! Looks like at WE WILL ROCK YOU, it’ll be Storm and Sifu… versus Burton and Mallory… versus Gorilla and JK… in a Triple Threat Ladder Match for the 21CW Kingdom Tag Team Titles… Not a bad start for the confirmed matches for the event that is just four weeks away!!

If you'd predicted, and if you'd scored well... There are a lot of IFs there Yeah he really has - and he's mostly been in the ring with either Dangermouth, or Alfonso D'Angelo, two very young, very green, future stars - and he's still pulled good matches out of them. In the process, he's risen up the card to the 6th most over heel on Kingdom! Just, lol Jones is an interesting case. He's won 8 of his 20 matches, so is fairly 50/50. He's also around the middle of the card. His popularity has crept down a tiny bit, but he's mostly lost to those above him, and beaten those below him. All that said, he's 44, and very much on the decline. The likes of Burton, Landon, Belushi, Loxley, they're all way more talented, and way younger. The Monkey Business thing isn't working sadly. I had an idea for the duo, but Allen's stamina means he can last about 4 minutes in the ring - so the team won't be around for long I'd say... Called it well mate. Crouching Storm are such a great team, and both can GO in the ring. Their eventual split and feud will be legendary (in a few years!)... but they're not on Orson's level yet, and while he's not a 'tag team wrestler', he and his buddies get on just fine and should win matches like this every time. Funny you say that... I'm considering a Cruiserweight Title after the draft... Thoughts...? Or Shane Hannigans, right?

Haha About right. Brian Johnson forever!

I should have posted this, apologies. @Charasmatic Enigma with the win again in a very close competition. Prediction Prize incoming

Predictions for Kingdom, Episode 26, Week 1, AUGUST 2020 ‘The Master of Old School’ Aurelian Bradley w/ Welsh Dragon [vs] ‘Cowboy’ Buck Winchester w/ The Booth Loxley Robbins & Daniel Black Francis [vs] ???? & ???? ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ Phil Harmonic w/ Badberry & Silva Jeremy Allen w/ Kevin Jones [vs] War Machine w/ Cliff King ‘The Furious Bi-Curious’ Alfonso D’Angelo [vs] Stevie ‘Smasher’ Stoat Crouching Storm, Hidden Sifu [vs] Wade Orson & Landon Mallory

21CW Presents: Episode 25 Wednesday, Week 4, July 2020 Calling the action: Des Greeves, Martin Bloydell and Jeff Nova Overall Rating: 71 Edward Cornell’s music hit to open the show, but as The House of Business strolled out, his entrance was cut short by the arrival of Grave Digger and his Hell Bound stable…!! The group were very much on the same page… and looked stronger than ever as a group of NINE…!! They knew, that tonight was the last time there would be no Roly Muckletruck… No Absolutely Flawless… and No Joss Thompson to stop them… But they had something on their minds… Edward Cornell: “Clifford Wilson… Is a LIAR…!! He’s not here to ‘help the little guy’… That bloke is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg… He’s the ‘Dark Angel’ after all… He is here… To win the 21CW World Champi…” Before he could finish, Jonathan Faust and Aldous Blackfriar headed onto the stage… Aldous Blackfriar: “This is not a drill… This is the Apocalypse… Please ex…” Edward Cornell: “Save it Devil…!! Nobody cares… Nobody wants to hear ‘War and Peace’… especially… not from a Yank like you…” Aldous Blackfriar: “If you want ‘War’… You’ve got it… I can guarantee you, that one day, that big man behind you (Grave Digger) will stab you in the back… and have you RESTING in ‘Peace’… So which one of you slobs, am I getting in the ring with… TONIGHT…!!” Aldous waited… Grave Digger stepped forward, but Cornell told him to wait… and calm down… He pointed at Luke Cool… Who rubbed his hands together at the prospect…!! A referee came to the ring, and ordered everyone to leave the ring and ringside area… immediately… Or this match wouldn’t happen… Strangely, they all obliged… ‘His Satanic Majesty’ Aldous Blackfriar [vs] Luke Cool Blackfriar and Cool tore each other apart in this one. Blackfriar was there to prove that The House of Hell can’t just do whatever they want, while Cool had to have a good showing after being selected to be in this match by Edward Cornell himself. When Rolling Johnny Stones hit the ring to distract Aldous, and Jonathan Faust followed behind, it was all Cool needed to pick up a big win! He hit his ‘Cool Cutter’ once Aldous turned around from looking over the top rope at the commotion outside the ring! Big win for Cool! 63 Backstage, United newcomer Walker Van Cleer was being interviewed by Melanie Florence…!! Melanie Florence: “My guest right now guys… is the Dutch sensation… Walker Van Cleer… and Walker… How does it feel, to now be a fully fledged member of the UNITED roster… After defeating Chuck Frisby in the ‘Chance Against Chuck’ last week…?!” Van Cleer was about to respond, when the aforementioned Chuck Frisby walked up… and told the Dutch youngster that we was mistaken… Chuck Frisby: “I don’t think that’s right… No… Mmmmaybe I wasn’t… Clear… Van Cleer… You have to first beat me… and then… beat Gulliver… Do that… and THEN you can have your United contract…!!” Van Cleer responded in his deep and imposing Dutch voice… Walker Van Cleer: “Gladly… See you later, big man…” ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] BW Eddie These two youngsters tried to kill each other out there for some reason! Carlisle always wrestles in that daredevil, put his body on the line kind of way, and he took it to BW Eddie here. Eventually winning it with his ‘Mark of Cain’ Coffin Drop! 44 In the men’s locker room, Sebastian Koller was chatting with some other wrestlers… when one of his opponents from last week: Phillip Cooper walked in… Phillip Cooper: “Koller… Jost the man I wan’ed… You know what I mean? When I say Clifford Wilson should NEVAH have been in our match… an’ now he’s won… He’s the numbah one contendooh… an’ we’re left wi’ not’in…!!” Sebastian Koller: “Get to tha point, Cooper…” Phillip Cooper: “For too long, man… Me an’ you ‘ave been held down… know what I mean…? We should do somethin’ abou’ it…” Koller shook his head, and said he wouldn’t be doing anything Cooper says… ‘Cooper Man’ left the room and Koller looked a little torn… In the ring, J-B Cash was setting up his talk show: ‘CASH REACTS’, when Clifford Wilson’s music hit… Cash seemed to complain that he wasn’t ready, but ploughed on anyway… J-B Cash: “Ladies and Gentlemen… Welcom…” Before he could finish, 21CW World Champion Apollo Prince headed onto the stage… and at this point, Cash was starting to get a bit cross… Prince strolled to the ring, and Cash had to allow it… J-B Cash: “AS… I was SAYING… Ladies and Gentlemen… Wel…” Apollo Prince: “AS Cash was saying… Clifford Wilson… Back from the dead… little Tag Title run gave you the itch, right…? And now you are comin’… for THIS… So let’s test Edward Cornell’s theory… in the Main Event, tonight…!!” Prince said he’d be teaming with Wilson, to take on Cornell and Mark Adonis of the ‘House of Hell’ stable… and Wilson can prove he’s here for ‘the right reasons’ by helping Prince to win… J-B Cash: “HEY, PRINCE… You might be Champion, Geeza… but this is MY show…” Cash got in Prince’s face, but the Champ was having none of it… and he socked Cash in the jaw, knocking him to the floor… Wilson quickly got between the pair, who have clashed in the ring multiple times in 2020… w/ Walker Van Cleer [vs] ‘The Icelandic Body’ Gulliver w/ Chuck Frisby For the second week in a row, Walker Van Cleer got the ‘Great Chemistry’ note (last week against Chuck Frisby too). For the second week in a row, Walker won, and has now earned his 21CW Main Roster contract. He won it with his ‘High Elevation Cross Body’, and Gulliver was winded by the move and couldn’t kick out! 56 In the back, the Detective Agency ‘Boulder and Flynn’, were chatting with new recruit: KT Devonshire… when in walked The Professor and his duo of clients: The Bern Boys… The Professor: “Oh look, Boys… it’s two grown men pretending to be Detectives that uphold the law…” Beau Boulder: “Professor…!! Boys…!? Now what have we told you about hanging around with ‘Boys’…?! A man of your standing should know better… Shame on you…!!” Professor began to respond, but was interrupted… Darin Flynn: “You wanna talk about ‘upholding’… when you can’t even uphold your TROUSERS…!!” Flynn pulled Professor’s trousers down, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment…!! The Bern Boys were quick to react, but KT Devonshire stood in their faces and backed them away…!! Fabian Schwarz said they’d see the ‘Detective Duo’ in the ring next week… with Professor hobbling off after them, desperately trying to pull his trousers back up… Backstage, Melanie Florence somehow managed to pull Antithesis for a chat… Melanie Florence: “My guest right now guys, is ‘The Anarchist’… Antithesis… and Antithesis, I want to ask you about your Brother, Clifford Wilson… There’s a lot of opinions out there right now about him… and his ‘Dark’ past… You know him better than anyone… Can he be trusted…?!” Antithesis paused for thought… and then pulled his Fire Extinguisher up to his ear as if it was talking to him!! He asked the inanimate object what it thought… which Florence found extremely strange… Antithesis: “Trusted…?? My Brother… ‘Dark Angel’…?? Can he be trusted…??” Antithesis paused again… Antithesis: “No comment…” He left the scene, and Florence was stood looking confused and a little creeped out… w/ w/ Kenobi High w/ Kian Owens & Padraig O’Hearne [vs] Mark Misery & Smiling John Smithie w/ Emmett Askey Decent back and forth match here, but the crowd was cheering Misery and Smithie tonight. They seemed to love how little they cared about being in the ring with the 21CW United Tag Team Champions. They acted bored throughout, and a groundswell of support from the crowd is starting to grow for them. In the end, they lost with an ‘A-Lister’ (Skull Crushing Finale) from Christopher Lister, where sections of the crowd actually booed! 49 Kenobi High celebrated with their proteges Kian Owens and Padraig O’Hearne, as they lifted their Championships high above their heads… They couldn’t work out why they were booed, and looked angered by it… ‘The Breeze’ Joey Beauchamp headed out to the ring next, and then walked around it to join the announce team… Joey Beauchamp: “No pictures please… I am cool… I am ‘The Breeze’… and gentlemen… I am out here to watch this next match VERY closely…!! Because Viktor Beskov has a target on his big… hairy… Russian back… And at London Calling… I’m firin’ an arrow right into that target!!” Beskov made his way to the ring, and was soon joined by his opponent Beast Bantom, in what promised to be a thrilling encounter, between two big, powerful, assassins… ‘The Russian Bear’ Viktor Beskov [vs] Beast Bantom Viktor Beskov is still trying to avenge his friend Yuri Iliakov, and is still deep in a feud with Antithesis. His London Calling opponent Joey Beauchamp was at ringside too, so the last thing ‘The Russian Bear’ needed right now was a war with Beast Bantom! The 21CW UK Champion and the former tag team partner of Roly Muckletruck hit each other extremely hard in this one – over and over again! The sheer brute strength on show meant that both men came out of it rattled. However, Beskov got some luck late on, when Roly’s catchy Scottish entrance music played and Bantom got ready for a fight. However Roly never came out, and an angry Bantom walked into a huge lariat from Beskov. The Champ then locked in his ‘Red Devil Lock’ (Lifted Arm Hook) and Beast tapped out!! 74 Joey Beauchamp: “OH WOW!!” The announce team stood up and collectively paused… They just witnessed something they didn’t think they’d ever see – Beast Bantom tapping out!! The match itself was also great – earning the Match of the Night award… Joey Beauchamp: “MYYYY… Goodness… Beast just tapped…!!” Des Greeves: “How does that make you feel Joey…?! Do you think fightin’ Beskov at London Calling is such a good idea?!” Joey Beauchamp: “Hey… Let’s ‘ave it right, Des… I am Joey ‘f*****g’ Breeze… I’m a student of the game… and watchin’ that… I saw enough weaknesses out there to know Beskov can be got at…!! Yeah the hold is a nasty one… but if anyfing… I’m even more confident now…!!” Beast Bantom sat with his head in his hands… He just can’t get Roly Muckletruck out of his head… and the big, bad, Scot is BACK next week from his 4 week suspension…!! He, along with Joss Thompson and Absolutely Flawless, have all missed the month of July, thanks to Beast TURNING on the team at the ‘Fight To End All Fights’… Roly will be back in one week… and he’ll be back for Beast’s head…!! w/ Apollo Prince & Clifford Wilson [vs] Edward Cornell & Mark Adonis w/ The House of Business Main Event time next, and a chance for Clifford Wilson to prove he is a man of his word. For weeks, he’s been saying that he’s here to ‘help the little guy’, and pass on his knowledge and experience. But he’s somehow ‘lucked’ his way into Title shots, and a Tag Team Title reign here on United. Now, in 2 weeks at London Calling, he’ll face his partner tonight: Apollo Prince, for Prince’s 21CW World Championship. Cornell and Adonis were trying to prove themselves right about Wilson, and they tried to create scenarios where Wilson would ‘show his true colours’, like passing him a steel chair while Prince was down!! Wilson didn’t take the bait, and showed he was who he says he was. However, for the finish of the match, he attempted a lariat on Mark Adonis, who ducked and Wilson clattered into Prince!! The Champion rolled out under the bottom rope, and Wilson looked at him fall out for far too long. The veteran was then put down by an ‘Adonis Elbow’ (Judas Effect) and pinned by Edward Cornell, who scrambled in as the legal man! 64 After the match, Apollo Prince climbed back into the ring with a steel chair, as Adonis and Cornell slid out and joined the rest of the House of Business… As Prince watched the House leave… He didn’t see J-B Cash slide into the ring behind him… He hit his ‘Cash Crash’ Float Over DDT on Prince… who bounced up high after landing on his head, and then crumpled into a heap next to the fallen Wilson…!! Cash pointed at Prince… and told the 21CW World Champion he’s got his eye on him…!! The show ended with a reminder that NEXT WEEK… Roly Muckletruck… The Martin Twins… and Joss Thompson… will RETURN to United… after a month out…!!

Oh wow, thanks all Congratulations to all winners.

I see... So you're saying I got none right, so far? Haha! Ah I was referring to AEW showing the All In footage this week.

That's a really interesting way of looking at Harmonic (in the Ziggler role). He's got such an upside and is so young! Hmm... I don't see a huge upside for Eddie. He can go in the ring for sure, but I'm not sure he'll improve enough elsewhere in the next few years to make him a big star. In that sense, he and Carlisle are similar / at the same level.

NOBBY!! Glad to see you're still around buddy. I haven't caught up yet, but will you be showing the All In footage?

21CW Presents: Episode 25 Wednesday, Week 4, July 2020 Calling the action: Steve Smith and Dane Rowley Overall Rating: 68 We opened the show with 21CW World Heavyweight Champion Wade Orson, strolling to the ring with ONE half of the 21CW Kingdom Tag Team Champions: Landon Mallory… Both men looking a little saddened, despite both retaining their Championships at Wicked… Wade Orson: “I know what you’re thinking… Where is ‘The British Lion’, Leigh Burton…?! One of the greatest wrestlers on the PLANET… Well Leigh Burton got his NOSE broken by Ricky Storm at Wicked… Yeah… and he’s not going to come out here and wear a dumb mask… He’s resting his beautiful facial features… at home… But FEAR NOT… ‘Awesome’ Wade Orson… and ‘Rock Solid’ Landon Mallory… are STILL Champions… and we’re here… holding things down…” Landon Mallory: “And we have a message for Cousin Konrad… We tricked every other member of the Lee FamiLee last week… and it worked… but with you… We knew… we had to do something different… We knew you were too smart to trick… So we had to beat you DOWN… and…” Before he could finish, the tag team Crouching Storm, Hidden Sifu interrupted… and stomped to the ring looking pleased with themselves… despite losing their Tag Team Title Match against Burton and Mallory… Storm said he wish he’d broken Burton’s nose sooner… and he hopes ‘The British Lion’ remembers his little receipt for a long time… The group in the ring were then shocked, as Cousin Konrad strolled out…!! Konrad began to speak, but before he got a word out, Orson told him that Storm and Sifu STOLE his moment… They were about to call him out, and out comes a ‘has-been, tag team’, who LOST at Wicked… Wade Orson: “So here’s the plan… Konrad… Choose one of these two… and FIGHT them, right now…!!” Orson and Mallory left the ring… and Storm and Sifu snarled at them from in the ring… They turned and found an angry Cousin Konrad ready for a fight… and Sifu stepped up… w/ ‘The Stone Cold Killer’ Cousin Konrad [vs] ‘The Quiet One’ Sifu w/ Ricky Storm Very strong opener here, and a match that saw Cousin Konrad take a huge step up the roster! He only debuted at Wicked, but that match, and this win, has elevated his stock to a very high level. The ‘Swedish Grapevine’ (Kirifuda Clutch) has been a deadly weapon in recent weeks, and it made Sifu tap out here too. 58 After the match was over, Orson and Mallory showed up again… and knocked Ricky Storm over at ringside… They began to beat him down, before The Lee FamiLee AND Buff Martinez, hit the ring and ran them off… Andrew helped Storm to his feet, and he didn’t realise who was helping him… Andrew caught a stray elbow to the face, as Lee FamiLee members and Sifu had to pull the pair apart… Next up, a shot of the crowd, and a HOT Free Agent was sat watching the action… Australia’s own rich snob, Montgomery Croft stood up as his name flashed up below him… He waved to the crowd, before pulling out a bunch of £10 notes… He began to pretend to throw them up into the air, which the crowd loved… but then quickly put them back in his pocket and mugged the fans off… They booed him, and he sat back down – not bothered… but slightly laughing... Steve Smith: “Folks, we just got word… Montgomery Croft has AGREED a deal with 21CW… this is crazy…!!” Dane Rowley: “He’s agreed a deal, but hasn’t signed a contract yet… Which Brand will he sign for…?! It’s ‘Million Dollar Monty’, and he’s here in Fenty Twirst Century Wrestling…!!” Steve Smith: “I can confirm in MORE breaking news… He’s going to be at 21CW’s next PPV extravaganza… LONDON CALLING, from the United Brand… He’s going to walk to the ring, and sign his contract… and CONFIRM which brand he’s going to be representing…!!” ‘The Irish Stretching Machine’ Merle O’Curle [vs] Lone Wolf Fun match between two men at very different stages of their careers. Merle is winding down in some ways, but he can still stretch guys like the best of them. Lone Wolf is just starting out, and uses an intense, brawling and punching style, which is fun to watch. O’Curle managed to lock in his ‘Celtic Wreath’ (Standing Inverted Cloverleaf) and make Lone Wolf tap in the end. 52 Backstage, Mo Adebola was standing by with ‘The Jilted’ Loxley Robbins… Mo Adebola: “I am joined by… Loxley Robbins… and Loxley… We saw at Wicked, that you and Daniel Black Francis got a long pretttttty well, in your efforts to get to ‘Beautiful’ Blake Belushi… How do you see your friendship developing going forward…?” Loxley was a little put out by the question… Loxley Robbins: “First of all, Mo… DBF and I… are NOT friends… We worked well together at Wicked… but we didn’t get what we wanted… Next week…? Those two security guards…? Can come to the ring, and fight Francis and I in a tag team match… If they had anything about them, at all… They’d leave The Brats and Belushi in the back…!!” Next up, Nate Manchester headed to the ring… and was soon joined by War Machine… who was walked out by his manager Cliff King… Cliff King: “War Machine has ENDED his feud with BEDLAM… He is now, the ‘Most Dangerous Man in Britain’… and BEDLAM…? Well… He’s away getting ‘treatment’… Nate… I suggest to you sir, that you don’t put up much of a fight… Make this easy for War Machine… and he might make it easier on you tonight…” Nate shook his head, and showed he was ready to give it his all and fight… w/ [PICS: Nate Manchester VS War Mahine w/ Cliff King] ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] War Machine w/ Cliff King Nate should have laid down and let War Machine win, because he was battered tonight. He left the ring with bruises everywhere, and another loss to the huge War Machine. 62 The Booth were shown in their recording studio next… talking about Alfonso D’Angelo… Dangermouth was laying down some lyrics… while Buck Winchester, DJ Reason and Grandmaster Phunk were talking in the studio… Phunk was raising and lowering levels, but he had a lot to say… Grandmaster Phunk: “It’s a damn shame about Alfonso yu know… Kid’s got talent… He’s in amazing shape… Strong charisma levels… Young… very young… Bright future…!!” DJ Reason: “Sorry, Phunky baby… You writin’ lyrics, or fallin’ in love with Alfonso…?!” Phunk laughed it off… but said he meant what he said… Buck Winchester: “I’m over it… I’m movin’ on… Let’s head to the arena… Your match is comin’ up soon, and it’s TIIIIIME for a WAILIN’…!!” The group agreed… Dangermouth and Phunk were scheduled for tag team action later tonight…!! An angry Ricky Storm and Sifu headed to the ring for the second time tonigh, when we came back live… Ricky Storm: “We’re not like those whiny Lee FamiLee guys… When we have problems… we deal with them head on… NEXT WEEK… Crouching Storm, Hidden Sifu… versus Wade Orson, Landon Mallory, Leigh Burton… Whichever two of you fancy it…!!” Sifu: “Think it… OVVVEERRRR…” Before they could finish… The aforementioned Lee FamiLee came to the ring… Asking for trouble… Andrew Lee: “Whiny…!? Whiny…?! Wooowww… Yu know, I never had a problem with you boys before… but… the fact you can’t deal with your problems… If we had a problem like you do with Leigh Burton, we wouldn’t have broken his nose… We’d have ended him…!!” Storm got in Andrew’s face… and told him he should try to ‘end’ him, right here, right now… Gorilla got between the arguing pair… but told them they should settle it in the ring… right now…!! w/ w/ ‘The Neanderthal’ Andrew Lee w/ The Lee FamiLee [vs] ‘The Quiet One’ Sifu w/ Ricky Storn This one was incredibly fast-paced. Andrew Lee and Ricky Storm fly around the ring, delivering strikes and kicks, using the ropes to add extra vigour to their attacks. They’re a match style-wise, and they both hurt each other in this one. In the end Lee used his exceptional reach, to hit a Flying Back Kick that he calls the ‘Stone Age Kick’. 54 Somewhere in the back, 21CW National Champion Blake Belushi had set up an ‘office’ of some kind, in one of the rooms in the building… Belushi had stationed his ‘security team’ at one of the doors, and the Brat Pack at the other… with Vicki Company sat with him on a sofa… All six were camped inside the room… Blake looked pretty comfortable knowing that Loxley Robbins and Daniel Black Francis couldn’t get to them tonight… Belushi addressed the security team, who were challenged by Loxley to a tag team match with him and DBF next week… Blake Belushi: “Next week… Time to step up to the plate boys, ey…? Your very first match in 21CW… And it’s against my former best friend Lox… and his new buddy, Daniel…!! I trust that you’ll… do me proud…?!” The pair of intimidating men nodded… and then got back to ‘guarding’ the door… w/ The Underdogs [vs] Grandmaster Phunk & Dangermouth w/ The Booth Joe Simpson and Michael X looked great to begin with, but the experienced Grandmaster Phunk gained the upper hand with a thumb to the eye of Simpson, and from then on, the various members of The Booth used all kinds of tricks to stay on top. Dangermouth hit his ‘Flatliner’ F5 on Michael X to win it. 53 Phil Harmonic headed to the ring next… accompanied by his friends Edison Silva and Kelvin Badberry… As he often does, Harmonic had a microphone… Phil Harmonic: “BEDLAM lost at Wicked… Because I… Phil Harmonic… hurt him in our match… and while BEDLAM is… I guess was… a dangerous man… I… am now ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’…!! Well… It’s either me, or War Machine… right…?! So… since I’m a dangerous, dangerous, man… I…” Before he could finish, Harmonic was interrupted by Tommy Cornell…!! ‘Rough Justice’ stomped to the ring, and told Harmonic he shouldn’t be proud of injuring someone… Especially someone like BEDLAM… because pretty soon, ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ will be back… Tommy Cornell: “And he’ll be back to teach you a lesson when he does… The lesson won’t hurt a bit… It’ll hurt a LOT…!!” Cornell called for a referee… because the Main Event tonight was to be Cornell versus Harmonic, in a first time ever clash…!! w/ [PICS: Cornell VS Harmonic w/ Silva and Badberry] ‘Rough Justice’ Tommy Cornell [vs] ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ Phil Harmonic w/ Edison Silva & Kelvin Badberry Fairly straightforward win for Tommy Cornell here, as many had previously predicted. However, Harmonic did have his moments, and controlled the pace for much of it. Cornell’s deadly ‘Guilt Trip’ (Side Russian Leg Sweep) did for Harmonic in the end though, and Cornell continued his impressive record in 2020! 68 ‘Rough Justice’ grabbed a microphone as Edison Silva and Kelvin Badberry helped their friend Phil Harmonic to the back… Tommy Cornell: “Wade Orson used my move… to retain his ti’le at Wicked… He finks he’s smart… but if he finks I’m done wiv ‘im… He’s got another fing comin’… An’ that fing that’s comin’… Won’t hurt a bit… It’ll hurt… A LOT…!!” Cornell slammed the microphone down… and stood on the second rope so the crowd could cheer him… Next week, we already have confirmation of the Main Event… Storm and Sifu will take on Wade Orson and Landon Mallory in a tag team Main Event… Loxley Robbins and Daniel Black Francis will also be in tag team action, as they battle the ‘Security Team’ that have been following Blake Belushi around… Wild show set for next week…

It was actually against Sifu But Sifu had previously agreed to put Konrad over. Aldous Blackfriar has had two of these recently too, so expect some big wins for him soon! ha! Love that! That's a great promo for a good guy against Harmonic: "You may be the King of the cruiserweights, but I ain't no cruiserweight!" Certainly one day for Andrew, but he feels a little 'young' to me. I appreciate that he's 2 years younger than Apollo Prince (the current World Champion) but Lee 'feels' younger, and needs some work / building. Storm on the other hand, if I didn't love Storm and Sifu together, could easily be a Main Event level talent. Ah yeah it's a shame for them. I've looked at their stats today, and Joe Simpson is by far the star of the duo. Michael X is so poor. That said, he's young enough to improve, so I'm in no hurry to get rid of him or anything. He's certainly on a long list of guys I 'could' lose and be okay with it. Simpson is much better, and I can see a world where he's 'The Underdog', rather than 'The Underdogs' with Michael X. Ha! If Tommy loses, you riot!?

Predictions for Kingdom, Episode 25, Week 4, July 2020 Cousin Konrad w/ The Lee FamiLee [vs] ‘The Quiet One’ Sifu w/ Ricky Storm ‘The Irish Stretching Machine’ Merle O’Curle [vs] Lone Wolf ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] War Machine w/ Cliff King Andrew Lee w/ The Lee FamiLee [vs] ‘Sensational’ Ricky Storm w/ Sifu The Underdogs [vs] The Booth w/ DJ Reason & Buck Winchester ‘Rough Justice’ Tommy Cornell [vs] ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ Phil Harmonic w/ Silva & Badberry

Yeah on paper, absolutely. Having said that, where I'm at now, three of United's Major Stars are in tag teams... three of the others are then in the same stable... and Kingdom have a new big babyface to even things up a little. I like the moves you suggested there... I've actually 'done' the draft on paper... and only ONE of those four moves happen currently... but spaces will open up for Roly, Koller, Beskov and Cooper to move into Roly vs War Machine does sound epic!! Protected workers, absolutely! For example, IRL, the 'Raw' tag champs moving to Smackdown makes ZERO sense!! That will not be happening here. If I plan to move Champions across, then they will lose the Belts beforehand. Newcomers like [BLANK]. [BLANKY BLANK] and [BLANK BLANKLE]... will stay on the brands they arrived on or recently moved to.

Note: These last couple of roster updates have been really small, so the next couple I've tweaked... Thought I'd post all the new 'dividers' I've made here too, to give you a bit of a 'deeper' look at each roster...

Lots to unpack here, and I always, always appreciate your feedback and comments... I'll take it step by step, but FIRST... I made this a while ago... And on Smackdown, I heard the Bloodline say 'By Orders of the Tribal Chief'...!! I INVENTED THIS (stole it from Peaky Blinders) but still. WWE once again have stolen my idea! Now, onto your feedback... Cliff Wilson - interesting case. I was so excited when he, along with Leo Price and UK Dragon, agreed to come out of retirement... The problem is, he's nowhere near his previous level. A 1 on 1 feud at the very top is not in his wheelhouse anymore unfortunately. The facepaint WILL return one day... but you'll have to wait. He's sticking around and I have a cool role for him. Graphics - thanks man. I actually think these are my least favourite graphics of the diary so far so great to hear you still liked them. The next two are 'London Calling' and 'We Will Rock You' - which are both songs by bands I really like - so they got the Jam and Queen treatment. Can't wait for you to see them. Lee FamiLee and the Champs - Yeah I like this feud. All four Lees can GO in the ring too. They're way below the top in terms of perception/popularity sadly. Konrad is climbing (I've written the next two months). Gorilla has so much charisma for an 19 year old! They're all still young, so time is on their side for sure. BEDLAM - he's not on War Machine's level, you're right. But taking him to 4-3 and only losing due to an injury means he's now viewed a lot higher by the fans (you guys). The injury is something he can 'work through' but I like to write them off TV when they get small injuries. Makes it more realistic. It may stunt his momentum a little, but as of where you guys are, he and War Machine have the same popularity. Konrad - his in-ring performances continue to impress me. I didn't know what his role would be, but he's the badass of the Lee FamiLee. Mallory/Burton - they have ZERO chemistry as partners, which is annoying and explains the low ratings. I originally wrote a very long title reign, but I now have the end in sight for them as a duo. Not sure if the reign ending will end the duo... not sure if the duo ending will end the trio... but all three have huge futures. They're all under 32. Booth/Alfonso - Trying to get The Booth over to help Dangermouth. Phunk is on the wind-down, and may retire out of nowhere soon. DJ is doing a great job, and has great chemistry with both Dangermouth and Buck. Cowboy has been a revelation. Possibly my best lower card signing and he's had some great wins to get him up the card. Alfonso - you're so right. He's already amazing when he debuts and I didn't quite realise how amazing (Lone Wolf is really good too by the way!) Alfonso is 21, so again, I don't have to rush him. I tried to separate him from the Booth, but he still hates Buck, so their feud has one more big match in it, and that is where I'll pull the trigger on D'Angelo. Cornell etc. - You asked, so here's a run down of the top of the card... Lots of 'Major Stars', but that doesn't necessarily mean ready to challenge Orson. Loxley is so over, he's had some big wins, but had terrible chemistry with Cornell, so I had to turn him face to avoid them having a major feud. They pulled a 64 in their two matches so far which is very poor. This is taken straight from my spreadsheet, with one spoiler/turn removed and also one babyface debut on Kingdom removed... He's kind of a big deal. They're the 'Major Stars' on each brand, so you see I have plenty to choose from. Lox/Blake's feud will run for a while... but there's options there for both Buff and Tommy. On United, Roly/Beast are tied together... Faust is teaming with Aldous which is helping them both massively, Adam is out injured too, so he's due back soon. Edward, Adonis and Grave Digger are all in the new 'HOUSE OF HELL' stable, but there's plenty of stories to tell there too. I've just written September Week 1 (Wicked was July week 3), so I'm quite far ahead... I'm planning a 'draft' at the end of September to shake things up too...

Called it and your score of 9/11 was the highest for Wicked - so expect your prize in your inbox in the next couple of days. Glad to see Cornell's new catchphrase is catching on too!

Calling the action: Steve Smith and Dane Rowley Overall Rating: 74 We opened the show with a video package, showing the build for tonight’s Main Event… Buff Martinez… Tommy Cornell… and Wade Orson, in a Triple Threat Match for the 21CW World Heavyweight Title… Buff picked up a shoulder injury a number of weeks ago… and has been struggling to get fit in time for this match… He had to prove his fitness in a tag team match on Kingdom this past week, and teamed with Tommy Cornell to beat Wade Orson’s friends Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory – despite Orson, Burton and Mallory hatching a plan to get rid of the Lee FamiLee for the night… And speaking of The Lee FamiLee… JK and Gorilla were the first team to enter the arena for the opening match… JK Lee was the star of this one, using his technical skills to stretch everyone else out there. Nobody could handle Gorilla’s size either, and he put Dangermouth and Grandmaster Phunk down with a big splash in the corner late on, but was then rushed by The Underdogs and Welsh Dragon, who sent him through the ropes to the floor. Dragon hopped up onto the top rope, but was shoved off by Joe Simpson and Michael X! The two Underdogs then hit a flying double suicide dive to Gorilla on the outside, sending him crashing into the barrier, and taking them all out of the match. This left Aurelian Bradley and JK Lee as the legal men, and the last two standing. Aurelien probably looks up to JK from a technical wrestling standpoint. They say never meet your heroes, and if JK is Aurelian’s hero, he proved that saying true by making the 18 year old tap out to a ‘Crossface’. 49 After a short advertisement, Loxley Robbins headed to the ring… scheduled to call out his former stablemate Blake Belushi for ‘answers’… However, Loxley isn’t alone in wanting a piece of Belushi… Daniel Black Francis came out soon after Loxley did… Loxley Robbins: “Francis…? You can wait yer bloody turn, alright…?! BELUSHI… WHY…?! Why’dya do it to me, ey…?! You an’ Vick (Company)… You screwed me over…? You ruined ma loife…!! I… Wanna know…” Francis stayed silent… He respectfully allowed Loxley to pour his emotions out, and waited his turn… Loxley Robbins: “Yu know what… Get out here NOW… and we can settle this like men…!!” The two fan favourites waited, but nobody came… Loxley was pacing, ‘D-B-F’ told him there’s only one thing they can do about this… Daniel Black Francis: “We know he’s ‘ere, monn…!! Let’s just go to de back, and find heem…!! I’ll help you take out the Brat Pack… an’ then you can have the fist punch on Belushi…!!” Loxley agreed… and the two looked on the same page as they stomped up the ramp…!! On deck next, the final match in the Best Of Seven Series… between ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ BEDLAM… and Cliff King’s ‘Giant Client’… War Machine… The scores are tied at 3 each… BEDLAM shocking the world and picking up 3 victories over the 6‘ 5“, 465lb monster… However… He heads into this decider with a bruised pectoral muscle… courtesy of a Phil Harmonic dropkick… The bruise was huge… and War Machine now had a target to aim for… Carrying an injury into a match with War Machine was always going to make this one difficult for BEDLAM. But carrying such a visible bruised area meant that the strongest, largest, and most menacing member of the 21CW roster had a target he could focus all of his attacks on. BEDLAM screamed in pain a number of times. However, he’s not known as the ‘Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ for nothing. BEDLAM still had his moments. Late on, he even got War Machine in position for his ‘Mind Strangler’ (seated choke). With his injured pec, BEDLAM couldn’t use his left arm properly to hook the hold in fully. War Machine delivered a well-placed elbow, and BEDLAM had to release the hold. Moments later, Cliff King’s ‘Giant Client’ hit his ‘Choke Bomb’ (Batista Bomb) and took the Best of Seven Series 4-3! 59 The Medical Team tried to get into the ring once the bell rang – but War Machine scared them off… He stood over the fallen warrior, even treading on his injured pec and raising his hands in victory… Once he and Cliff King were satisfied, they left BEDLAM writhing in pain, and presumable requiring some time off to heal up…!! The next match also saw a competitor head to the ring with a visible injury / target on his body… Cousin Konrad headed out for his 21CW debut… with his ribs taped up following the attack from Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory this past week on Kingdom…!! Much like the previous match, Cousin Konrad could have done without the injury he carried into this one – particularly against a dangerous and experienced competitor like Stevie ‘Smasher’ Stoat. The former 2-time Champion in 21CW knew what he was doing out there, and every time Konrad gained the upper hand, he delivered a stiff kick to the mid-section, and was back in control. However, Konrad is a fighter. He knew he could fight through the pain barrier, and he grew into the match – even blocking a couple of kick attempts! He then locked in his ‘Swedish Grapevine’ (Kirifuda Clutch), and Stoat had to tap out! Huge win on his debut for the Lee FamiLee member! 61 Backstage, Loxley Robbins and Daniel Black Francis had caught up to 21CW National Champion: Blake Belushi…!! They had him cornered in a narrow corridor… However, standing between them and the man they want to kill… was The Brat Pack… Artemis Eyre-Rochester didn’t want to fight… because he still has his nose guard on to protect the broken part of his face…!! Thurston Darcy III knew it was a fight they couldn’t win… so both Brat Pack members backed away a little… However… Fortunately for them, their ‘security team’ arrived behind Robbins and Francis…!! The two intimidating, suited men, began by shoving ‘D-B-F’ into Loxley, and then knocking him down and stomping on him… This allowed Thurston and Artemis to jump Loxley… making it 4 on 2… The fight didn’t last long… Loxley and Francis were left gasping for breath, as both were hit with high-impact moves on the concrete floor…!! Belushi stepped over the both of them, as the group left the scene… The hatred for Leigh Burton coming from Sifu, and in particular, Ricky Storm, was clear for everyone to see. The former Champs wanted to destroy ‘The British Lion’, and take his Championships from him. However, Burton had the dangerous Landon Mallory on his side of the ring. Mallory is a rock solid man. Pure muscle, and not an ounce of fat. Every time Storm or Sifu hit him with a kick or strike, it must have taken a little out of them too. For the finish of this one, Ricky Storm actually BROKE Leigh Burton’s nose!! The second nose break on the Kingdom brand in recent weeks! Burton had to get medical help, and there was a lot of blood. The distraction and commotion allowed Mallory to hit Storm in the face with a chair!! Behind the referee’s back!! The South African delivered a shot to Sifu’s gut too, before throwing the chair out under the ropes, and hitting his ‘Springbok Ram’ Spear on Sifu’s weakened mid-section!! 54 Mallory and Burton celebrated the win… Although Burton found it hard to raise a smile – the bottom half of his face covered in a crimson mask that resembled a horror movie… The celebrations were soon cut short too… by the arrival of COUSIN KONRAD from the Lee FamiLee…!! Konrad went MMA on Landon Mallory… chopping him down with low kicks, before delivering punches in bunches to his face…!! Leigh Burton shoved Ricky Storm into Konrad, before sliding out of the ring, and grabbing Mallory on the way out… An angry Ricky Storm argued with Konrad… but the ‘Stone Cold Killer’ remained calm as he stared down the men that jumped him on Kingdom… The joint second best match on the card, showed how hard Alfonso D’Angelo is working right now. The rookie stepped in there with a man who’s been around, and knows what it’s like to work for a major company – ‘Cowboy’ Buck Winchester. Cowboy hit multiple lariats, as is his way, and Alfonso didn’t have an answer for them. In the end though, it was the young Portuguese star who looked like he was going to win it. He tried to lock in his ‘Anaconda Vice’ (Head Scissors Camel Clutch) – but The Booth, who know him well, all climbed onto the apron to get involved! Not for the first time in the match, Alfonso lashed out. He threw a punch at Grandmaster Phunk, who dropped down and avoided it. He connected with a knee to Dangermouth – which sent him flying into the guard rail. Before grabbing DJ Reason, who begged and pleaded not to be hurt. The referee was remonstrating with the former 21CW World Champion. This allowed Buck Winchester to hit a Neckbreaker Onto knee, and score the win over his former friend. 61 Mo Adebola was stood with JK Lee and Gorilla Lee of the Lee FamiLee next… who won their Number One Contenders Match earlier tonight, and will now face Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory for the 21CW Kingdom Tag Team Titles… Mo Adebola: “I am joined by… JK Lee and Gorilla Lee… and Lees… Big win tonight… But I wanna talk about the actions of Cousin Konrad… Lee…?! He attacked your future opponents tonight… and seemed to have a falling out with Ricky Storm and Sifu too… Are you worried that he is making a lot of enemies for you and your Family – considering how new he is around here…?!” Gorilla Lee: “I don’t blame Konrad at all… He is his own man, and is entitled to do what he wants…” JK Lee: “Yeah and if I were in his shoes… I’d wanna make Landon Mallory tap, nap or snap…!! WE are the Number One Contenders now… All three of us won tonight… Buff (Martinez) to make it four to complete the set… Then we’ll see if we can get Andrew (Lee) a win on Kingdom…!!” Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory accompanied Wade Orson to the ring for this one, but they were both promptly sent to the back by the referee! In the interest of fairness, Kathleen Lee was told in no uncertain terms by the match official that if she got involved, she too would be sent to the back. Orson and co. were furious that she was allowed to remain out there supporting Buff Martinez, but Buff had a word in her ear, and seemed to suggest that her getting involved wasn’t worth it. The veteran Tommy Cornell wasn’t phased by any of this. He just wanted the match to start, because he knew, like all Tommy Cornell matches, he was the favourite to win it. Orson did everything in his power to make sure ‘Rough Justice’ didn’t capture his World Heavyweight Title, but he focused too much on Buff Martinez and Kathleen Lee’s situation – allowing himself to get consumed by getting Lee thrown out of the match like his back-up were! He wound Kathleen up constantly, and got in her face, forcing her to almost snap, and slap him across his pretty face. But she remained in control of her emotions, and remained at ringside throughout – causing Orson, in his first ever World Championship defence to become frustrated. As the match wore on, Tommy Cornell looked to be an even safer bet to win it. He kept Orson at arm’s length, and was able to control and dominate Buff Martinez with a technical masterclass. Nobody in 21CW is as proficient in holds and counter holds as ‘Rough Justice’, and he was out to make it hurt ‘a lot’ for Martinez out there. Cornell believed he could make the Spanish star tap out, if he focused on the previously injured shoulder. He came close a few times, but ‘The Barcelona Bull’ fought through the pain barrier, and refused to quit. The match headed into its final stages, with all three men colliding with a number of running strikes and altercations. Cornell ended up with a cut above his eyebrow, which swelled up significantly, but didn’t cause much blood loss. He used the injury to fuel his rage, and he landed his ’Guilt Trip’ on Buff, as the crowd sensed a Title change. However, Orson appeared from out of nowhere, and hit the ‘Bounce Back’ Pounce, which sent the veteran out through the bottom and middle rope to the floor! He fell at Kathleen Lee’s feet, and she could only watch as Orson crawled into the cover on her fallen client, Buff Martinez! Using Cornell’s own finisher, Orson won the match, and retained the Gold! 78 Orson celebrated on the stage, as Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory joined him with their Tag Team Championships… Cornell, Martinez and Kathleen Lee looked on with envious eyes… as the show came to a close… Orson won and retained, but he used Cornell’s finisher, and ‘Rough Justice’ did the work for him…
