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?

Predictions for United, Episode 25, Week 4, July 2020 ‘His Satanic Majesty’ Aldous Blackfriar [vs] Luke Cool ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] BW Eddie Walker Van Cleer [vs] Gulliver w/ Chuck Frisby Kenobi High w/ The Padawans [vs] Misery & Smithie w/ Emmett Askey ‘The Bear’ Viktor Beskov [vs] Beast Bantom Apollo Prince & Clifford Wilson [vs] Edward Cornell & Mark Adonis w/ The House of Business

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…

21CW Presents: Episode 24 Wednesday, Week 3, July 2020 Calling the action: Des Greeves, Martin Bloydell and Jeff Nova Overall Rating: 72 We opened the show with 21CW World Champion Apollo Prince in the ring, with a microphone… Apollo Prince: “Hey, Jeff… (Nova)… Last week, a LOT went down… Edward Cornell and The House of Business tried to take me out… Grave Digger and The Black Hats tried to take Jonathan Faust and Aldous Blackfriar out… These are two dangerous groups… and I speak for the rest of the locker room when I say: something needs to be done about them… The first thing we think should happen is this… Since Clifford Wilson SAVED me from the attack by Cornell… Wilson should be added to the Main Event tonight, and get a chance to win a World Title shot…!!” Nova stood up from the announce desk, and said “Done”… He said Wilson deserves it for working hard for 30+ years anyway… but sticking up for the ‘little guy’ is something he can relate to… Apollo Prince: “With Joss Thompson, Absolutely Flawless and Roly Muckletruck suspended… These two groups have been able to do whatever they want… So… The second thing we want to see… Is the identity of The Black Hats, revealed… Once we know who or what we’re fighting… We can make plans…!!” Nova said this would be more difficult, as nobody has been able to get close to them… but he’ll see what he can come up with… Prince left the ring in a positive mood… Passing Antithesis on the ramp as ‘The Anarchist’ came out for his match… A moment of tension between the World Champion and the former UK Champion… Evan Alpass [vs] ‘The Anarchist’ Antithesis Decent opener here, and Evan Alpass was on rare form. However, he was up against a vicious, wild, fighter in Antithesis. For the finish, despite his dominance, Antithesis used his fire extinguisher behind the referee’s back – clocking Alpass over the back of the head with it. He then locked in his ‘Full Metal Jacket’ (Crossface Chickenwing) and Alpass tapped out. 53 We cut to a pre-taped video next, showing Chuck Frisby and Gulliver’s visit to the developmental territory of 21CW this past week… Later tonight, Frisby will open up his ‘Chance Against Chuck’ to someone from the developmental company… so a few days ago, he and his muscle visited… In the video, we saw youngsters: Gazz Vedmore and Jermaine Granger practicing in the ring… Dylan Drama was shown posing in a mirror… Chuck Frisby: “Niiiiice place you bums have got here… I’ll see one of you… on United… I have an OPEN challenge to any one of you…” The pair turned to leave, and Kalu Owusu stepped up…!! The big man from the Ivory Coast got in Gulliver’s face…l! Kalu was a match for Gulliver, in size… but the veteran is a little bit more menacing… Chuck and Gulliver waited, until Owusu stepped aside… Jonathan Faust & Aldous Blackfriar [vs] BW Eddie & Vinny Vigilante Eddie and Vinny did well here, despite being a makeshift duo. Faust and Aldous have teamed together a few times now, and they grew into this one after Aldous was isolated in their corner. Both Faust and Aldous were struggling with minor injuries from the beatdown last week by The Black Hats, but they came through this one in the end when Aldous locked Vinny in his ‘Gloomweaver Clutch’ (Tazmission). 59 After the match, Faust and Aldous grabbed microphones… Jonathan Faust: “I am ‘The God’ Jonathan Faust… and this is ‘His Satanic Majesty’ Aldous Blackfriar… and we would like to PUBLICLY thank UK Dragon for his assistance in our… ‘matter’ last week…” Aldous Blackfriar: “If I were Dragon… I’d be going after Grave Digger and The Black Hats… Just like WE are…!! At London Calling… We want The Black Hats… in a match… and we will unmask them…!!” Backstage, Emmett Askey, Mark Misery and Smiling John Smithie were talking about the way the fans had been treating them… Mark Misery: “Ughhh… The fans against The Bern Boys… They cheered us…” Smiling John Smithie: “I know… Why…? I mean… What have we done to deserve, that…?” Misery shrugged, and looked bored… Mark Misery: “I dunno… I just hope they don’t do it again… Emmett… Who have we got next week?!” Emmett Askey: “It’s the Champs… Uhh… Kenobi High…?!” Mark Misery: “Oh great, those two Star Trek p***s… If the fans cheer again, it’ll be ‘illogical’…” Smiling John Smithie: “Damn it, Mark…!!” ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] Local Talent Cain Carlisle continues to win. This victory made it 3 in his last 5 encounters now, and he again won it with his ‘Mark of Cain’ Coffin Drop. 34 After the match was over, The Black Hats hit the ring, and Cain Carlisle got out of there as quickly as he could… Grave Digger then made his entrance… Grave Digger: “UK Dragon… You have spoiled my plans… I wanted to END ‘The God’ and ‘The Satanic Majesty’ last week… Now… I will make sure you breathe your last breath…” Before Digger could finish, he was interrupted by the music of Edward Cornell…!! Who lead the ‘House of Business’ to the ring…!! Edward Cornell: “Mr. Digger… May I say… You’ve assembled quite the army… I myself, know a thing or two about putting a group together, to watch my back…” Cornell climbed in to the ring with his group… not flinching one bit at the prospect of standing face to face with the 6’ 11”, 380lb monster, and his group of scary 300lbers… Edward Cornell: “I come to you tonight… concerned… UK Dragon foiled your plans… Clifford Wilson foiled mine… and it seems… like Jeff Nova, and our 21CW World Champion, want RID of us… They think… Our groups are becoming too powerful to stop… and I agree… However… I also think, we could be even more powerful… If we joined forces…!!” Grave Digger was unsure… and he looked like he was about ready to choke Cornell out and drop him on his head…!! Edward Cornell: “Think about it… Think about it… The House of Business… and Hell Bound… COMBINING… We would be unstoppable… and we would be able to END every, veteran that has stood in your way… Dragon… Wilson… Matravers… Faust…” Cornell hopefully, but confidently, outstretched a hand to the giant… putting his other hand behind his back as if to show he wasn’t going to attack (which would have been foolish)… Grave Digger took a look at him, and decided to shake it… and form the unholiest of unholy alliances…!! The announce team didn’t know what to say… Jeff Nova, on comms, couldn’t believe what was happening…!! Backstage, UK Champion Viktor Beskov was shown watching his former group (The House of Business) align with Grave Digger and The Black Hats… and he shook his head in disbelief… When ‘The Breeze’ Joey Beauchamp walked up… Joey Beauchamp: “Hey, listen… ‘Bear’… I saw that too… But I wanted to tell you, that while I’ve been impressed by you lately… and I know we should all stick together back here right now… I’m still coming for THAT Title… And I’ll do whatever it takes to get it… Understand me?!” Viktor Beskov: “I underztand perfectly…” Joey Beauchamp: “Good, good… See you soon ‘Bear’…” Next up, it was time for Kenobi High to introduce their proteges… Christopher Lister brought out Padraig O’Hearne… and Jase Cole introduced his fellow Australian: Kian Owens… The 21CW United Tag Team Champions introduced the pair as ‘Pad’ O’Hearne… and ‘Pad’ Owens… For some reason… Beau Boulder and Darin Flynn made their way out next… the detective duo were accompanied by KT Devonshire… w/ w/ Padraig O’Hearne & Kian Owens w/ Kenobi High [vs] Beau Boulder & Darin Flynn w/ KT Devonshire Fun match here, with all four men showing off their skills. (Pad) O’Hearne and (Pad) Owens were in control for a while, but a breakdown in communication lead to the technically proficient Darin Flynn taking advantage. He shoved Owens into O’Hearne, and knocked him off the apron – before locking the young Australian in his ‘Prodigal Pressure’ (Standing Surfboard Stretch) and making him give up! 48 After the match, Lister and Cole helped their proteges to their feet… and congratulated them on a good performance despite the loss… After a commercial break, Beast Bantom stomped to the ring… looking for trouble… Last week, Roly Muckletruck’s music hit during Beast’s match against World Champion Apollo Prince… Roly is suspended until August, (thanks to Beast), so there was no way he would have come out when his music hit… However… Despite knowing this, the distracting would still prove costly for Beast, and cause him to lose what was a huge match for him… Beast Bantom: “ROLY…!! I know you’re HERE, ROLY…!! I know you were here last week… ROLY… GET OUT HERE, ROLY…!!” Beast was beside himself… but he knew Roly wasn’t actually here… The crowd began chanting ‘YOU – FEAR – RO - LY” over and over again… and Beast had to leave before he went insane…!! Martin Bloydell: “Lord help anyone who comes across him backstage…!!” Next it was time for ‘Chance Against Chuck’… and ‘The Unsung Hero’ Chuck Frisby headed out, full of all the confidence of a prize fighter… Chuck Frisby: “ALRIGHT… It’s time… I’ve beaten legends…well… I mean old people… Tonight, I give an opportunity to one lucky kid from developmental… If they beat me… They EARN a 21CW contract… So who’s it gonna be…?!” Chuck waited… and hopped around in the ring to warm up… When this man arrived… WALKER VAN CLEER…!! The Dutch 31-year old who has won Championships all over Europe for the last 10 years… He arrived to a hero’s welcome… and strolled to the ring looking like a mega star… Chuck Frisby didn’t know what to make of him… He looks like a World Title level competitor, and carries himself like a Champion already… w/ Walker Van Cleer [vs] ‘The Unsung Hero’ Chuck Frisby w/ Gulliver Great debut from Walker Van Cleer here – who showed how good he is in the ring. He combined brawling, technical prowess, and a flashiness perfectly, and Chuck didn’t know what had hit him. Van Cleer flew from the top rope to hit his ‘High Elevation Cross Body’ to win it, and thus earn a 21CW contract!! 53 Frisby and Gulliver were completely shocked, as Walker Van Cleer climbed into the crowd to celebrate with the live fans...!! The Main Event was a World Title Triple Threat Match… Clifford Wilson was added to the match TONIGHT, following his actions last week… and the veteran former Road Agent looked extremely pleased to even be out there… let alone be cheered by the fans for his every move… Clifford Wilson [vs] ‘The Rock ‘N’ Roller’ Sebastian Koller [vs] Phillip ‘Cooper Man’ Cooper The fans didn’t mind who won this Number One Contenders Match – as long as it wasn’t Phillip Cooper! Having said that, another Apollo Prince/’Cooper Man’ fight wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing – they’ve had a number of classics in 2020 already. Sebastian Koller looked the most likely to win here though, hitting a number of high-flying, high-impact strikes from all angles, and leaving his opponents not knowing where to look! For the finish though, the unlikely happened. Edward Cornell headed to the ring, and pulled Cooper’s leg as he was looking for his ‘Cooper Fly Splash’!! Cooper fell to the apron and then the floor. Cornell then clocked Koller with a right hand, and followed it up with the ‘Black Lightning Bomb’ (Blue Lightning Bomb). He then slid out of the ring, and watched as Clifford Wilson picked up the pieces and hit his ‘Descent Into Hell’ (Angel’s Wings)!! 72 Wilson couldn’t believe he’d won… and celebrated with tears in his eyes…!! He didn’t see Cornell’s interference… he was just delighted to have won… and now he’ll get a 21CW World Title Match against Apollo Prince… Speaking of the young Champion… Prince made his way onto the stage at the conclusion of the match… Cornell grabbed a microphone as the two men stared each other down from a distance… Edward Cornell: “Hahaha ha haaaaa…!! I knew it… Wilson… You’re not back to ‘help out the little guy’… You’re back to be Champion again…!! Admit it…!! Now… at London Calling… The youngest 21CW World Champion of all time… will face the man who could become the oldest… and will put his foot on the heads of the current and future generations…” The show ended with Wilson telling Cornell to get into the ring and say it to his face… but he wouldn’t… London Calling’s Main Event is set… Apollo Prince versus Clifford Wilson…!! Title on the line…!! Next week, Clifford Wilson will be a guest on Cash Reacts… with J-B Cash to discuss his ‘Indian Summer’…!!

That's interesting, and hadn't thought of that before. I always felt Nightmare and Ruin were thrown together because they're the same size, and their names are one word... Haha! The Welsh duo's story is that they are friends, and yeah, they took different paths, learnt different skills, but ultimately they've been friends for a while and they trust each other. I probably could have / could dig deeper into this though and explain it more deeply. I do like an 'odd couple' pairing though, especially in TEW. If you do a comparison of their skills, they can teach each other a thing or two. Dragon isn't a brawler... Bradley doesn't have aerial or flashiness skills... They kind of, complement each other well. If it's just aesthetics, I'd consider a mask for Bradley for sure. Design me something

21CW Presents: Episode 24 Wednesday, Week 3, July 2020 Calling the action: Steve Smith and Dane Rowley Overall Rating: 71 With just 3 nights until WICKED, we opened the show with ‘Jilted’ Loxley Robbins… who was looking for answers… Robbins was left at the alter by Vicki Company a number of weeks ago… and she’s since been revealed to be with his BEST MAN, Blake Belushi now… and he was here to call Blake out, to settle their blood feud… However, what he got instead, was another man who wanted revenge on Belushi… former National Champion Daniel Black Francis… Daniel Black Francis: “Loxley… An enemy, of my enemy… is my friend… right, mon…?! So I say… We go after Belushi togedda…!!” Loxley Robbins: “Daniel… You’re not my friend… Ya dig…?? I know you hate Belushi… but you don’t hate him on the same level I do… He took your Title… He took a month of your career… but he took EVERYTHING from me… So stay the heck outta my way…!!” Daniel Black Francis: “Fine… I’ll admit… You hate Belushi more than me… but… it’s not a competition… You want answers… I want answers… So I say this… We go to WICKED… We go to the ring… and we BOTH call Belushi out… If he doesn’t come… we BOTH go looking for him… and we work together to take out The Brat Pack… and we BOTH beat the answers we want out of him… Once we’re done… me and you can always continue our beef another time…” ‘D-B-F’ outstretched a hand… but Loxley refused it… instead leaving the ring and heading to the back… The crowd like both men right now, but there’s a lot of tension between them… w/ ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] Dangermouth w/ The Booth A strange first few weeks for Nate Manchester on Kingdom, has seen him turn his fortunes around and pick up 2 wins in his last 2 matches. However, tonight, Dangermouth had a lot of help from DJ Reason and co, and picked up a win with his ‘Flatliner’ (F5). 43 In the Men’s locker room, Gorilla Lee was shown picking up a note left in his bag… which he read to himself… Gorilla Lee: “Okay... "Hey... big... man… Come to the roof… We’re having a BBQ…!!" Oohhhhhh baby…!!” Gorilla threw the note down… his mouth watering… and he jogged to the staircase… The camera man followed him up two flights of stairs, and he was out on the roof… a little out of breath… He shouted “Gimme them burgers…!!” but suddenly, the door to the roof slammed behind him… He suddenly realised he’d been LOCKED up on the roof… and worse than that… there was NO BBQ…!! He felt around in his pockets for his phone, but the camera cut away to reveal he’d left it next to his bag, and the note that was left for him… Just then, a hand reached down and grabbed the phone and the note… destroying the evidence, and stealing Gorilla’s phone…!! Next up, the long awaited return to in-ring action of ‘Sensational’ Ricky Storm…!! w/ ‘Sensational’ Ricky Storm w/ Sifu [vs] Lone Wolf Over a month on the shelf, but back just in time for him and Sifu’s Tag Team Title shot this coming Saturday at WICKED. Lone Wolf was the perfect warm-up for his Title shot, because although he hit hard and had Storm in trouble a couple of times, the tag team specialist was largely able to have his way with the youngster – eventually winning it with his ‘Storm Bringer’ German Suplex. 49 Next up, we got a video package, showing the win/loss record of ‘The Irish Stretching Machine’ Merle O’Curle… Merle has a very impressive singles match record of 6 and 2 since returning to 21CW… He may have lost to ‘Awesome’ Wade Orson last week… but Orson’s the 21CW World Heavyweight Champion for a reason…!! Merle has been extremely impressive since coming ‘home’… and he’ll be back in action next week, after WICKED… In the back, a panicked JK Lee and Andrew Lee ran in to see Buff Martinez, who was getting some treatment on his shoulder…!! Andrew Lee: “Buff… Buff… We just got a bunch of calls from Gorilla (Lee), and a text message… He and Auntie Kathy (Kathleen Lee) were in a car accident…!!” Buff tried to scramble to his feet, but the Lees told him to stay put… He has a big match to prepare for tonight, where he has to prove he’s capable of competing at WICKED for the World Heavyweight Title…!! They said they’d head off in a car now, and keep him updated…!! He thanked them, and sent them on their way… before returning to his treatment, with tears in his eyes hoping Gorilla, and more importantly his manager: Kathleen Lee, were okay… The TV audience knew though… that Gorilla was trapped on the roof of the building… Someone was up to something… Welsh Dragon & Aurelian Bradley [vs] Nightmare & Ruin Fun match here, and a complete clash of styles. Nightmare and Ruin like to bludgeon their opponents, and while it worked on the technical wizard, who likes to get in close, Aurelian Bradley – they couldn’t catch the wild and fast Welsh Dragon and get close enough to him to hurt him. In the end, Bradley got plenty of rest, and Dragon made Nightmare blow up. Exhausted, Nightmare allowed ‘The Master of the Old School’ to come back in, and make Nightmare tap to his Figure Four! 46 The announce team reminded us that Welsh Dragon and Aurelian Bradley’s win means they’ll join The Lee FamiLee… The Underdogs… and The Booth in a Fatal-4-Way Tag Team Match at WICKED this coming Saturday… The winners will be the next in line for a Title shot against either Ricky Storm and Sifu… or the current Champs: Landon Mallory and Leigh Burton… who will also square off at WICKED… On the way to the ring after a commercial break, Kelvin Badberry and Phil Harmonic were arguing… and Edison Silva was staying out of it… When the group got to the ring, Harmonic grabbed a microphone… Phil Harmonic: “So you’re sayin’… War Machine came and spoke to ya… and asked you to be his ‘Poison’ against BEDLAM… and there was no way for you to say no…!? Fine… But even if I believe that… WHICH I DON’T… Why didn’t you beat BEDLAM…?!” Kelvin Badberry: “Well… He’s ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’…” Harmonic got in Badberry’s face at this point… and raised his voice… Phil Harmonic: “I’M THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN BRITAIN…!! You’re 6’ 5”… 325lbs… Where’s your b******s…?! I’d have beaten BEDLAM… You need to step up… because I can’t keep carrying this entire unit…” Before he could finish… BEDLAM’s music hit… and ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ headed onto the stage… He soaked in the cheers from the fans, and then strolled to the ring with a microphone… BEDLAM: “If you think beatin’ me is so easy, BOY… why don’t you do it…?!” BEDLAM slammed the microphone down, and Phil Harmonic… to his immense credit… gladly accepted the challenge…!! w/ ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ BEDLAM [vs] ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ Phil Harmonic w/ Badberry & SIlva Harmonic was fired up for this one, until he ran head first into a lariat from BEDLAM to kick the match off. From that moment on, ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ never fully regained his balance, and hit very little offense. Late on in the match, BEDLAM suffered a bruised pectoral muscle, following a dropkick from Harmonic. The bruise came out instantly, and BEDLAM was clearly hurt by it. It didn’t stop him locking in his ‘Mind Strangler’ (seated choke) and winning this one comfortably though. 52 Buff Martinez was doing some stretches and checking his phone constantly, backstage next… when up walked Kathleen Lee…!!!! Buff, excited to see his manager up and absolutely fine following her car crash, embraced her as if he didn’t think he’d ever see her again… The relief swept across his face… but she was extremely confused… She asked why Buff was so happy… and sad… to see her… Buff Martinez: “Becoss, choo and Gorilla, were in a car accident, no…?!” Kathleen Lee: “Whatt…?! No…?! What are you talking about…?!” Buff Martinez: “JK and Andrew got the call… well… the text… to say that choo… and Gorilla… and… they left already to come an’ find you…!!” Kathleen and Buff realised in that moment, that someone was playing them… JK and Andrew never actually spoke to Gorilla… but nobody has seen him in the building tonight… They began to question things… before agreeing that they need to find the big man… and Cousin Konrad… immediately…!! w/ w/ Jeremy Allen w/ Kevin Jones [vs] ‘Cowboy’ Buck Winchester w/ The Booth Short but hard-hitting match here. Allen moves slowly, but hits like a rhino, and Buck Winchester did well to avoid that for the most part. He hit a number of lariats, as he always does, one in particular spun Allen all the way around (like Rikishi sold them sometimes). ‘Cowboy’ won it with his neckbreaker onto knee at around 5 minutes. 51 In the men’s locker room, Cousin Konrad was on the phone… He told whoever he was talking to (Kathleen Lee or Buff Martinez] that he was fine… in the building… and ready to accompany Buff in tonight’s Tag Team Main Event… Cousin Konrad: “No, I haven’t seen Gorilla at all… His bags are here though, so he must be somewhere… Listen… I’ll keep trying JK… you try Andrew… and… hey… I’ll call you back…” Konrad hung up… because he was confronted by Buff’s opponents in the next match and Main Event… Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory…!! ‘The Stone Cold Killer’ is yet to debut in the ring in 21CW… he kicks off his career this Saturday at WICKED… but despite this, it’s clear he’s a dangerous man, who doesn’t back down from anyone… He probably should have backed down here… but despite being down 2 to 1… he didn’t make it easy for Burton and Mallory… They kicked his mid-section over and over again when they finally got him down, before Wade Orson arrived on the scene… Wade Orson: “We gotta go, guys…!! We gotta get you to the ring… HEY… Konrad… Enjoy your lay down, cuzz…!! Hahahaaaa…!!” Orson instructed Burton to lock the door… and they locked Konrad in the room… lying on the floor, holding his ribs…!! w/ Tommy Cornell & Buff Martinez w/ Kathleen Lee [vs] Leigh Burton & Landon Mallory All four members of The Lee FamiLee were taken out of the equation tonight, and none of them made it to ringside for the match! It’s unclear if any of them would have been out there anyway, apart from Cousin Konrad who said he would be, but was then attacked and locked in a room! This left Buff Martinez, injured shoulder and all, with Kathleen Lee for back-up, and Tommy Cornell – one of his opponents at WICKED this weekend, as his partner! They gelled well in the end, having a common enemy in Wade Orson and his two sadistic friends Burton and Mallory. For the finish though, there was a small amount of tension. Cornell hit his ‘Guilt Trip’ Russian Leg Sweep on Mallory, but Buff tagged himself in! Cornell allowed it, and Buff hit his ‘El K.O’ spinning back fist to win the match – even thought Cornell’s finish wins 99.9% of matches anyway! 72 Cornell and Buff didn’t get time to have any serious beef though, because at the conclusion of the match, Wade Orson slid into the ring, and clocked Buff in the shoulder with his 21CW World Heavyweight Championship Belt…!! Leigh Burton and Orson then jumped Cornell… as Buff writhed in pain… This was clearly the type of attack the Lee FamiLee would normally have come and gotten in front of… but the two fan favourites seemingly had no one… Until… COUSIN KONRAD’s music hit… ‘The Stone Cold Killer’ stumbled out from the back, holding his ribs and carrying a steel chair… He pointed at Burton and Orson… and told them he was going to kick their teeth in… Orson reacted by sending Burton out to meet him on the ramp… Konrad was ready for Burton… He kicked him in the gut, and then smashed the chair over his back… Landon Mallory was recovering from the ‘Guilt Trip’ and the ‘El K.O’ on the outside of the ring, and Konrad slammed into him… sending the South African flying into the ring steps… Konrad then stepped onto the apron and pointed at Orson… The ‘Awesome’ World Heavyweight Champion waited for the perfect moment to slither out of the ring… leaving a fired up, but clearly hurt, Cousin Konrad to pick up two more hurt competitors in Tommy Cornell and Buff Martinez… The show ended with Konrad and co. with the higher ground… and the weapon… as Orson and his friends regrouped on the safety of the ramp…
