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’…!!

[vs] ‘The Unsung Hero’ Chuck Frisby w/ Gulliver World Title Number One Contendership Triple Threat Match: ??? [vs] ‘The Rock ‘N’ Roller’ Sebastian Koller [vs] Phillip ‘Cooper Man’ Cooper Sorry about all the question marks

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…

Really interested by this buddy. What makes you like Nightmare and Ruin as the better team? Welcome along dude, thanks for reading / predicting. I offer (pretty average, but sometimes decent) prizes at the end of each month, and for the top scorer at each pay-per-view - normally it's a booking decision of some kind, so keep predicting You justified everything brilliantly here my friend. 6/6 for this show for you, and there's now 2 points separating the top four in the prediction contest... Very tight at the top...

Thanks mate With 21CW, I can import a fair bit, but I agree with you trying to keep this NWF as British as possible. With that in mind, you've picked up some awesome Brits who work in Europe. I really like your roster. Grace of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit) vs XS & Aurelian Bradley Bradley is really good in the ring! Decent ent. skills too. He's probably the best "Graduated from the National School of Wrestling, but 21CW decided not to offer him a contract" guys ??? vs Damian Dastardly In my RAW diary, Spiffy Stan Standish got a 12 month injury right when he and Alexander Banks were about to take off - so I brought Damian Dastardly in to replace him and he was excellent. The Youth Bandits (Ian Vincible & Cannonball Logan) vs High Society (Dylan Drama & Joey Beauchamp) My favourite team here! Dylan will learn a lot from Joey. Rohan Kirchner vs Bret Heartbreak NWF Cruiserweight Championship: Leighton Buzzard (C) vs JK Lee

Predictions for Kingdom, Episode 24, Week 3, July 2020 ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] Dangermouth w/ The Booth ‘Sensational’ Ricky Storm w/ Sifu [vs] Lone Wolf Welsh Dragon & Aurelian Bradley [vs] Nightmare & Ruin ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ BEDLAM [vs] ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’ Phil Harmonic w/ Badberry & Silva Jeremy Allen w/ Kevin Jones [vs] ‘Cowboy’ Buck Winchester w/ The Booth Tommy Cornell & Buff Martinez w/ Kathleen Lee [vs] Leigh Burton & Landon Mallory

Ahh thanks mate They're brand new!

21CW Presents: Episode 23 Wednesday, Week 2, July 2020 Calling the action: Des Greeves, Martin Bloydell and Jeff Nova Overall Rating: 75 The show opened with The House of Business, in their Clubhouse backstage… Edward Cornell leading his troops, and talking to them about the Beast Bantom situation… Cornell explained that Beast Bantom gets ‘IT’… but he’s NOT in the House of Business…!! Edward Cornell: “It’s not a case of him being one of us… But he understands, that if you’re against us… You’ve got HUGE problems… Tonight… I’ve tasked Beast with taking out Apollo Prince… He’ll show you boys how it’s done… and remember… He’s NOT in the House… YOU… are my family…” ‘The Breeze’ Joey Beauchamp [vs] J-B Cash Great to see these two English veterans do battle here. 46 years of experience between them, and they both showed a lot of ring-savvy to gain unfair advantages behind the referee’s back. Beauchamp is the fan favourite, but he’s far from being a ‘good guy’ – and that’s something the fans love about him. He won this one with a roll-up and used the ropes for extra leverage. A fact that Cash was furious about! 50 We were reminded next, that Joss Thompson, Roly Muckletruck and Absolutely Flawless are SUSPENDED for the month of July… but that all four will be back in August… The four men LOST the ‘Fight To End All Fights’ at Fight Night… after Beast Bantom turned his back on the team, and joined Mark Adonis’ House of Business team… Roly will want revenge on his former tag team partner… while Joss Thompson has already stated he came back to 21CW to stop Edward Cornell… The Martin Twins have had an ongoing rivalry with Mark Adonis for months… so the House of Business will have a very busy August…!! But for now... They can do whatever they want, without these four standing up to them... Following an altercation last week, next up we got Smiling John Smithie and Mark Misery in tag team action… against the young and impressive Swiss team: The Bern Boys… w/ w/ Smiling John Smithie & Mark Misery w/ Emmett Askey [vs] The Bern Boys w/ The Professor Smithie and Misery were getting big cheers tonight – showing utter boredom from the outset. They weren’t interested at all, and the crowd seemed to love it, and wanted them to beat Schwarz and Piccard. However, the two youngsters are a well-oiled machine, and know exactly how to beat Smithie. They shoved Misery off the apron, and used the distraction to hit the ‘Lights Out in Lucerne’ – where Piccard hit his ‘Slingshot Suplex’ into Schwarz’s Flying Forearm smash! A devastating move! 47 Next up, ‘The Unsung Hero’ Chuck Frisby was standing by with his ‘muscle’… ‘The Icelandic Body’ Gulliver… Chuck Frisby: “I have NINE wins, in my last ten matches… NINE…!! I am UNDEFEATED since I began my ‘Chance Against Chuck’ challenge…” Chuck reminded us that the ‘Chance Against Chuck’ challenge, included a clause that the first person to BEAT him, will earn a 21CW contract… Chuck Frisby: “But frankly… I’m SICK of retiring a bunch of guys I wrestled twenty years ago… So next week, we’re going to mix it up a little… I am going to send a challenge to those wrestlers, who have a ‘developmental’ contract with 21CW… If anyone wants to step up… and BEAT me… Then they will be signed by the company, to a full-time… Main Roster… contract…!!” ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] Local Enhancement Talent Big win for ‘Captain Crash’ here. He doesn’t often come out on top, but he’s had two big wins recently – after he and Evan Alpass defeated The Bern Boys back in May. He won it here with his ‘Mark Of Cain’ Coffin Drop’. 31 Backstage, the 21CW United Tag Team Champions: Kenobi High, confirmed that their ‘proteges’ would DEBUT in 21CW…!! Christopher Lister: “Be in their corner, we must… as they compete in their FIRST match… against Boulder and Flynn…” Jase Cole: “Boulder and Flynn are clever men… with high ring-IQs… plus… they will have KT Devonshire out there with them for support… so we must support our younglings…” Christopher Lister: “It’s time for Kenobi High to expand across the Universe… and ensure balance is restored to the galaxy…” In the ring, BW Eddie was shown watching the previous segment… and he shook his head… BW Eddie: “Boulder and Flynn… moving on, and forgetting they STOLE money from me… with help from that she-witch, KT Devonshire… This is NOT over… This i…” Before Eddie could finish, he was interrupted by his opponent… Viktor Beskov… who was in no mood to let him finish… ‘The Russian Bear’ stomped to the ring, and was furious with Eddie… Because of the little snitch, Beskov almost got beat by Antithesis… and the same ‘Anarchist’ put Beskov’s friend Yuri Iliakov out injured… Beskov, rightly, blames Eddie for all of it… so the match began right away!! ‘The Bear’ Viktor Beskov [vs] BW Eddie One-sided domination from Beskov. He pushed and threw Eddie around for a few minutes, before mercifully making him tap out with his ‘Red Devil Lock’ (Lifted Arm Hook). Eddie had nothing tonight! 62 Backstage, Antithesis was shown watching Beskov win… and a wry smile crept across his creepy face… The smile remained, when his BROTHER Clifford Wilson walked up…!! Clifford Wilson: “How ya doing, Harry…?!” Antithesis: “Big brother… good to see you…!! How are you enjoying being back…?!” Clifford Wilson: “Yeah… I’m uh… I’m actually enjoying it a lot… I mean, you say ‘back’… I’m not sure I’m back back… but I feel like I’ve got another run in me… maybe a Title reign…?! I’m all about helping the little guy… yu know…?!” Antithesis: “Well… I doubt you’ll get much change out of Viktor Beskov, and the UK Title… he’s a BEAST…!!” Antithesis was surprisingly civil… and Clifford Wilson didn’t know what to make of his baby brother’s kindness… A very exciting match was advertised for next week… Sebastian Koller and Phillip Cooper… The German ‘Rock ‘N’ Roller’ and ‘Cooper Man’ are no strangers to one another… but next week’s match will have huge implications for both man’s careers… The winner will compete at United’s next event: London Calling… Against the World Champion (whoever it is at the time) for the World Title…!! UK Dragon [vs] Grave Digger UK Dragon and Grave Digger have fought in the past, and this one went the same way as the last encounter – a big Grave Digger victory, as the huge behemoth continues his rise on United. His ‘R.I.P Piledriver’ was enough to stop the veteran masked flier here. 58 After the match, Grave Digger kicked UK Dragon out under the bottom rope… and grabbed a microphone… Grave Digger: “It’s time for a celebration… Good times are comin’ for 21CW… WE just need to clear out some ‘dead wood’… BOYS…” Digger pointed to the stage… where The Black Hats arrived… The three huge men, were dragging two fan favourites to the ring, by their ankles, in a disturbing scene… Aldous Blackfriar and Jonathan Faust were both out cold… with Faust bleeding from the mouth due to some kind of internal injury… Grave Digger smiled sadistically, as he watched his henchmen do their thing… However, UK Dragon got back into the ring behind him, and hit him with a chair!! The giant didn’t feel it… He just turned and glared at Dragon… Calling his group of huge men into the ring with him… Dragon split… and the Black Hats couldn’t chase… He ran around to the fallen Aldous and Faust, and defended them with his chair in his hands, until backstage workers and road agents headed out to help… Apollo Prince [vs] Beast Bantom Great Main Event between two rising talents on United. Bantom almost killed Prince at one point, with a nasty looing double-powerbomb right in the middle of the ring, but the 21CW World Champion somehow kicked out! That was the story of the entire match, Beast dominated, hit a power move, and Prince somehow kicked out! For the finish, Bantom was distracted by the entrance music of Roly Muckletruck! Beast couldn’t believe his former partner was here, but, as we know, he wasn’t. The distraction was enough for Prince to hit his ‘Apollogy’ (Inverted Bulldog)! Prince knew he needed a second to put the big man down, so he hit the move again, before hooking a leg and ending it! 76 That wasn’t the end of Prince’s night though… because Doomsday showed up behind him, and tried to choke him out… while the rest of The House of Business arrived… However, before Cornell and co. could take the Champion out completely, Clifford Wilson arrived on the stage with a microphone… Clifford Wilson: “HEY Cornell… Up here… Up here… Listen boys… Let Apollo (Prince) go, yeah…? I’ve got something to say…” Cornell laughed, as did Adonis… The pair gathered their troops in the ring, including Beast Bantom… and told Doomsday to let Prince go… Clifford Wilson: “I never thought I’d come back… When I retired… 18 months ago… I thought I was done… But… something drew me back in… Helping out guys like Apollo Prince… guys like Roly Muckletruck… Absolutely Flawless… THAT is why I’m back… I enjoyed it from being a producer… but being in the ring… being able to fight guys like you… is why I’m back… And when Roly… Kelly and Lance (Martin)… and Joss Thompson get back here… The House will come crumbling down…” Cornell smiled again… and watched as Prince made it back to the safety of the stage… which is exactly what Wilson wanted… Edward Cornell: “You know what, old man…?? I will put you down for this… Apollo Prince should NOT be the Champion… I should be… I don’t know where… I don’t know when… but I WILL put you down… and this time… I’ll end your career for GOOD…!!”

DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! Great to see you still around man, and Drew's debut was a shock to me! I had predicted a few different guys in my head, but not Drew!! As others have said, he's probably the number two heel in WWE right now (behind Roman etc). Just excellent work for the last 6-12 months. DM Hunk has arrived!

Paul Huntingdon vs Rogue Lenny Brown vs Scythe Lenny is excellent, but I can't see him getting past big Scythe here. Robbie Retro vs Spencer Spade Atom Smasher vs Joey Morgan Presumably Smasher still has his midas touch note active. Even if he doesn't, he's got a lot of up side. Even thought I'm a big Morgan guy, Smasher is probably the better character. Main Event: SWF World Heavyweight Title Shot Match Brandon James vs Des Davids vs Remo vs Valiant (BONUS) Will SWF top the weekly TV ratings this week? With that Main Event, I'd say there was a very good chance. Comments on diary / last episode: Big SWF fan, so keen to see where this goes.

Cruiserweight World Cup Final: Welsh Dragon vs Edison Silva w/ Mo Adebola NWF British Tag Team Titles: Future X vs The Northern Lights (C) w/ Frank Finkleton NWF Cruiserweight Championship: Leighton Buzzard vs JK Lee (C) Jase Cole w/ Christopher Lister vs Lone Wolf Wolf's got a lot of potential. But he's young, and a loss won't hurt him. If Nate Manchester loses he leaves NWF: Nate Manchester w/ Leo Price vs 'Big Mac' Nathan McKenzie NWF British Heavyweight Championship: (C) 'The Springbok' Landon Mallory vs 'The Celtic Hammer' Stuart Wilson Bonus 1: How many titles will change hands at the event? (maximum of 3) I'll say zero based on my predictions! Bonus 2: What will the overall rating of the show be? (two points for spot on, 1 point for 2 either side) 66 Any other comments/questions on the diary: Great to see you still putting out great content mate. I'm not very active on the boards lately, but I've got a week off work this week, and have read the last few shows. Love the talent you've picked up from Australia and Europe - absolute gold mines if you can tap them!

Predictions for United, Episode 23, Week 2, July 2020 ‘The Breeze’ Joey Beauchamp [vs] J-B Cash Smithie & Misery w/ Emmett Askey [vs] The Bern Boys w/ The Professor ‘Captain Crash’ Cain Carlisle [vs] ??? ‘The Bear’ Viktor Beskov [vs] BW Eddie UK Dragon [vs] Grave Digger w/ The Black Hats Apollo Prince [vs] Beast Bantom

21CW Presents: Episode 23 Wednesday, Week 2, July 2020 Calling the action: Steve Smith and Dane Rowley Overall Rating: 72 The show opened with the return of Daniel Black Francis, after a number of weeks on the shelf… getting treatment in Prague…!! The crowd exploded for his arrival...!! He was attacked in Prague, after gatecrashing Loxley Robbins’ Bucks Party and challenging Blake Belushi to a re-match for the National Title…!! Belushi smashed a bottle on him, and beat him down with a chair in the bar… And ‘D-B-F’ wasn’t messing around tonight… Daniel Black Francis: “If I have to wait all night… I will… But I want Blake Belushi… For the Title… TONIGHT…” Before he could finish, Loxley Robbins’ music hit… and he too was here for revenge on Belushi… Loxley Robbins: “Get in loine, ey…? If ANYONE is gettin’ ta Belushi tonoigh’… It’s ME…!! And as good as you are… You’re waaaaay down the peckin’ order…!!” Francis pushed Robbins, and it lead to a brawl that had to be broken up by officials…!! The announce team got word that Colin Chalke was officially putting Francis and Robbins in the Main Event tonight… as opponents…!! ‘The Irish Stretching Machine’ Merle O’Curle [vs] ‘Awesome’ Wade Orson Great way to kick off the in=ring action, with a very evenly matched contest between two men on incredible runs right now. Orson is right at the top of the Kingdom brand, but Merle has it in him to hang with anyone up there. In the end, after stretching the World Heavyweight Champion for almost 15 minutes, Merle was screwed out of it by a mule kick low blow from Orson! He followed it up with the ‘Bounce Back’ Pounce, and crushed the veteran’s dreams of beating the Champ! 64 Backstage, ‘The Quiet One’ Sifu, was stood for a promo… talking directly to the camera… Sifu: “Wicky… Stom…!! Will be back, at Wickeddddd…!! So Leigh Burtonn… Landon, Mallory… Your Title reign… is going to BEEEE…!!!!!!! OOOOOOVVVERRRRR….!!!!!!” Next up, Colin Chalke was on our screens, explaining the situation regarding the tag team division, and the hunt for the Gold… currently held by Landon Mallory and Leigh Burton… As we’ve just seen, the makeshift duo will defend the Titles against Crouching Storm, Hidden Sifu at Wicked… but new contenders need to be found following the Pay-Per-View… Colin Chalke: “I’m setting up a match at Wicked, that will feature four of the up and coming tag teams here on Kingdom… The Underdogs… will battle The Booth (Dangermouth & Phunk)… and, The Lee FamiLee… (JK and Gorilla)… AND… The fourth team will be the winners of next week’s clash, between Nightmare and Ruin… and the Welsh Wizards…!!” w/ ‘The Furious Bi-Curious’ Alfonso D’Angelo [vs] Grandmaster Phunk w/ DJ Reason, Dangermouth & Buck Winchester If Alfonso D’Angelo was a cat, he’d have around 2 lives remaining. He dodged bullet after bullet out there. Ducking a vicious lariat from his former friend Buck Winchester, as well as a microphone to the head from Dangermouth. He even dodged a DJ Reason right hand – and we all know he packs a punch!! In the end, the veteran Phunk was looking for his ‘Phunkenstiener’ from the top rope, and D’Angelo again avoided it as Phunk fell to the mat! Alfonso hopped down, and stacked him up, before rolling out of there before The Booth could grab him! 47 It WILL be Alfonso D’Angelo taking on Buck Winchester at Wicked…!! Buck screwed Alfonso last month, by joining The Booth… and turning his back on his friend… Now Alfonso will get the chance to gain some revenge… however the numbers game will be against him… The first ‘Pick Your Poison’ match was on deck next… and saw War Machine take on an opponent chosen by BEDLAM… and ‘The Most Dangerous Man In Britain’ couldn’t have chosen a better test for War Machine… as Gorilla Lee came out to face a man he matches in both height and weight…!! w/ w/ Gorilla Lee w/ JK, Andrew and Cousin Konrad [vs] War Machine w/ Cliff King Two immoveable objects here, who are both 460+lbs! Neither man could knock the other off their feet, and while Machine was angry about it, Gorilla responded by dancing in Cliff King’s face. Things got more serious when War Machine delivered a throat punch, that dropped Lee to a knee. Gorilla looked saddened, and as if he’d been neutered. At Cliff King’s instruction, War Machine lifted Lee up, and dropped him with a Choke Bomb, where he stayed on his feet as he dropped Gorilla. Huge win for War Machine. 54 JK and Andrew Lee couldn’t believe their Cousin had been beaten like that… while Cousin Konrad didn’t sell it at all… The three Lee FamiLee members slid into the ring, and this prompted Cliff King to bring War Machine out of it… However, as The Lee FamiLee stood over their fallen giant Cousin… Stevie ‘Smasher’ Stoat headed onto the stage with a microphone… Stevie Stoat: “Yu know who impresses me in the Lee FamiLee…?! It ain’t the big doofus who just got beat by War Machine…!! It certainly ain’t JK… who… I mean… do you even speak, bruv…?? Andrew… Neanderthal by name… Cave man by nature… no no… The member of the Lee FamiLee that impresses me the most… is Cousin… Konrad…!!” Stoat told Konrad if he wants to make his debut in a BIG way… He can lose against ‘Smasher’ at Wicked…!! Backstage, Tommy Cornell walked up on Buff Martinez and Kathleen Lee… with Buff still nursing his shoulder… but no longer in a sling… With the Main Event of Wicked no doubt on his mind… Cornell asked Buff how his shoulder was doing… (a reminder, if Buff is cleared, it’s a Triple Threat between Cornell, Buff and 21CW World Champion Wade Orson… If Buff isn’t cleared, Cornell gets Orson 1 on 1)… Buff Martinez: “Amigo… Tell me… What has it got to do, wi' choo…?!” Tommy Cornell: “What’s it got to do with me…?! I’ll tell ya, Son… See… If you’re out… I get (Wade) Orson 1 on 1 at Wicked… PLUS… there’s the small matter of next week… Where me and you will take on the Tag Champs… Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory… So I ask again… Does your shoulder hurt a little… or a LOT…!?” Buff scoffed, and stomped away with Kathleen Lee left standing with Cornell… She said he’ll be fine… and Cornell need not worry… Monkey Business (Kevin Jones & Jeremy Allen) [vs] Local Enhancement Talent Easy win for Jones and Allen in this short match. They’re a fun duo to watch, but they leave a lot of opportunities for their opponents to take advantage of them. In the end here, Jones hit his ‘Belly To Belly Overhead Suplex’. 48 The second ‘Pick Your Poison’ Match took place next… BEDLAM in action, against War Machine’s chosen opponent: Kelvin Badberry…!! Another match size-wise, with Badberry around 20lbs heavier than BEDLAM… but noticeable by their absence, were Phil Harmonic and Edison Silva… ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ BEDLAM [vs] ‘The Bad Seed’ Kelvin Badberry Considering the size of these two, this was a fast-paced match. Badberry had some strong offense, and dominated the early stages following a feeling out period. However, BEDLAM came alive, and the 295lber was able to nullify Badberry’s straight-ahead offense. For the finish, BEDLAM locked in his ‘Mind Strangler’ seated choke, and Badberry quickly tapped out! 57 Both BEDLAM and War Machine had difficult matches tonight, chosen by the other… but both came through them with wins… At Wicked, BEDLAM and War Machine will go 1 on 1 for the final time, in their Best Of Seven Series… With the scores tied at 3-3… But tonight, following this match, Phil Harmonic and Edison Silva marched out, and glared at BEDLAM as they walked past him… Harmonic instructed Edison Silva to help Badberry to his feet… and once he was up, the ‘King of the Cruiserweights’ SLAPPED ‘The Bad Seed’ across the face… shocking Edison Silva… and then telling him to follow him… ‘Jilted’ Loxley Robbins [vs] ‘D-B-F’ Daniel Black Francis Solid Main Event here, with both Loxley Robbins and Daniel Black Francis showing different sides of their characters here. They both got aggressive, and both wanted to prove they should be the man to go after Blake Belushi first. It lead to a compelling fight, in which both were cheered. But Daniel Black Francis’ recent injuries took their toll in the end. Loxley won it with a Brainbuster, but he made sure to allow Francis to get up after the bell – so he could shake the former 21CW National Champion’s hand. 70 Francis held his neck and his ribs… He was clearly in a lot of pain… but Loxley’s outstretched hand was the real focus here… Francis was unsure… as were the fans… Loxley was showing all kinds of respect to Francis… but something told ‘D-B-F’ not to trust the Australian… Before they could either shake or not shake though, Blake Belushi lead Thurston Darcy III and Artemis Eyre-Rochester out… with Vicki Company directing traffic…!! Loxley and Francis got ready for a fight… This time, standing side-by-side, and begging Belushi and co. to climb into the ring… However, they didn’t factor in that from behind, the two ‘security guards’ from previous weeks, appeared and floored the pair – who had just competed in a match… Company sent The Brat Pack into the ring, as Belushi watched his FOUR henchmen do his dirty work… The beatdown closed the show, with Belushi and Company linking arms and flirting on the outside of the ring…

Mini update, had a bit of a nightmare this evening... my spreadsheet like, deleted itself, and restored a version from 13 days ago! I can't recover it unfortunately, so it's wiped the progress I've made storyline wise, and advanced booking notes I had made... It's not all bad news. I've managed to re-write it all already as I hadn't done much in 13 days (i've been poorly, again!) You might just notice in around 10 shows or so, there's some storylines that don't flow so well But arguably, it's better the second time around! The next 11 shows are all fully written, I didn't lose any of that, so it's just cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Predictions for Kingdom, Episode 23, Week 2, July 2020 ‘The Irish Stretching Machine’ Merle O’Curle [vs] ‘Awesome’ Wade Orson ‘The Furious Bi-Curious’ Alfonso D’Angelo [vs] Grandmaster Phunk w/ The Booth Gorilla Lee w/ The Lee FamiLee [vs] War Machine w/ Cliff King Monkey Business (Kevin Jones & Jeremy Allen) [vs] ???? ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Britain’ BEDLAM [vs] ‘The Bad Seed’ Kelvin Badberry w/ Phil Harmonic & Edison Silva ‘Jilted’ Loxley Robbins [vs] ‘D-B-F’ Daniel Black Francis

21CW Presents: Episode 22 Wednesday, Week 1, July 2020 Calling the action: Des Greeves, Martin Bloydell and Jeff Nova Overall Rating: 74 We opened the show with a video package, reminding us that Joss Thompson, Roly Muckletruck and Absolutely Flawless LOST at Fight Night, in the 5 on 5 Fight To End All Fights… and will now be suspended for the whole of July… Meaning Mark Adonis and the rest of the House of Business can do whatever they want on United… They’re not the only heroes on United though… as Absolutely Flawless’ manager, and Joss Thompson’s best friend Leo Price headed to the ring to kick us off… Leo Price: “My boys… and my friends… are lost… for the next four weeks, someone… has to stand up to The House of Business… So BEAST BANTOM… you little traitor… I… am going to be the one to stand up to the House… Starting… with YOU!!” Price waited for Beast to come out, but Mark Adonis’ music hit… and the cocky youngster strolled onto the stage, accompanied by Doomsday, Luke Cool and Rolling Johnny Stones… Adonis danced to the ring… living in the moment, and enjoying Price’s anguish… He said Beast has nothing to do with the House of Business… that was a one night deal… but that he’d gladly continue his good run of form and fight Price, right now…!! w/ Leo ‘The Lion’ Price [vs] Mark Adonis w/ Doomsday, Luke Cool and Rolling Johnny Stones At 46, and over two years since his last match, Leo Price made a good showing of himself here. He was right in the match until right at the end, when Doomsday caught him with a vicious elbow strike while Cool and Stones distracted the referee. That allowed Adonis to hit his vicious elbow strike: ‘The Adonis Elbow’ (Judas Effect). 60 After the match, Adonis instructed his troops to tie Price up in the ropes… to teach him a lesson… Mark Adonis: “Nobody is here to help you, old man…!! It’s just us, and you out here…” Adonis grabbed his tyre thumper… and got ready to open Price’s skull up… but the locker room emptied, and the House of Business scattered…!! Cain Carlisle: “HEY Adonis… Evan Alpass and I have our gear on… We’re ready to go… so why don’t you send Cool and Stones back here… so we can you, that you’re not gonna have it all your own way for the next month…!!” w/ [PICS: Alpass and Carlisle VS Cool and Stones w/ Doomsday and Adonis] Evan Alpass & Cain Carlisle [vs] Luke Cool & Rolling Johnny Stones w/ Doomsday & Mark Adonis Another solid match, and an open and even one again. Alpass and Carlisle have teamed up a few times in recent weeks, but despite their familiarity, they stood no chance against Cool and Stones, who are battled veterans. Stones hit his ‘Brainbuster’ to finish Alpass off in the end. 54 We saw highlights next, showing Aldous Blackfriar and Jonathan Faust teaming up at Fight Night to take on Java and Tribal Warrior, who are on their retirement tour around the world… Aldous and Faust gelled extremely well (I got a ‘good chemistry’ note on the match!!)… and are both said to have ‘enjoyed’ teaming together… Are they now ready to take on the might of Grave Digger, and his Black Hats…?! Time will tell… We cut backstage, to Boulder and Flynn’s makeshift office… The Detective Duo were counting a large sum of cash money…!! When in walked a familiar face… the attractive police officer from Viktor Beskov’s arrest…!! Beau Boulder: “Here… she… is…!!” Darin Flynn: “Look at you… and here… is your cut, me lady…!!” Flynn handed over a duffel bag full to the brim with cash… It was clear that at Fight Night, this lady agreed to help the Detectives retrieve the money that BW Eddie owed them… and he owes them no more… Beau Boulder: “You should stick around… Maybe we can get you a spot with 21CW…?!” Darin Flynn: “Or better yet… a spot in the Boulder and Flynn Detective Agency…!! Whadda we call you, anyway…?” KT Devonshire: “My name… Is KT Devonshire… and sure… I’ll stick around… Got any beers…?!” Boulder said they had some IRN BRU (courtesy of Roly Muckletruck)… which Devonshire gladly accepted…!! Next up, a segment that’s become extremely popular in recent weeks… ‘A Chance Against Chuck’… where Chuck Frisby invites a British Wrestling legend to come in and have a match against him…!! He’s beaten Puffy The Sand Iron Player… Ripper LeStat… and former Olympian Stuart Wilson so far… but tonight, was a different challenge… The near 300lb Bulldog Jack…!! w/ Bulldog Jack [vs] ‘The Unsung Hero’ Chuck Frisby w/ Gulliver Bulldog Jack was dominant here, and Chuck Frisby was lucky to survive! Gulliver was the difference once again. He locked Jack in a sleeper while the referee was distracted, before clobbering him with a lariat. Soon after, Chuck rolled him up for a three count, and picked up another win! That’s 9 wins in his last 10 matches! 33 We cut to a video package next, and found Grave Digger and The Black Hats out in a field… The Black Hats were digging a large hole, while Grave Digger spoke directly to the camera… Grave Digger: “Digging holes… for ancient souls… Adam Matravers was the latest to fall at my hand… and he’s out injured now… This place… needs to be brought out of the stone age, and into the 21st Century like the marquee says… It’s time for the next generation to rise… the Black Hats are all under 20 years old… They will follow as my disciples, and LEARN from me… The one true leader of the next generation… and they will watch, as I destroy this ‘old guard’…” The segment everyone had been waiting for was next… ‘Why Beast Why’… was the question on everybody’s lips at Fight Night… as Beast Bantom turned his back on Roly Muckletruck and the rest of the team in the 5 on 5 Fight To End All Fights… As a result of him switching sides and joining Mark Adonis and The House of Business… Roly, Joss Thompson, and Absolutely Flawless are now BANNED from the building, and will be out for the entire month of July…!! Beast stepped out onto the stage, and strolled to the ring to the loudest boos of the night… He stood in the ring, and tried to wait for silence so he could speak… but that silence never came… Beast Bantom: “You wanna know why I did what I did…?! He (Roly) used to call me ‘Beastie’… He tried to change me… to turn me into some fool, who drank IRN BRU… which is DISGUSTING by the way…!! It tastes like rust and battery acid… I HATE it… But the real reason I chose to represent Mark Adonis’ team… is because… they ASKED me to…!! Roly never did… He just assumed I wanted to join Joss’s team… Adonis asked, and he made me a compelling offer… It really was as simple as that… It’s just business… And by the way… NO… I am NOT in the House of Business…!!” ‘The Russian Bear’ Viktor Beskov [vs] J-B Cash J-B Cash knows his way around a ring, and can hang in there with the best this business has to offer. But there’s something about the way Beskov moves. He’s huge, and extremely powerful, but he moves so well for a big man. He kept up with Cash’s quickness and athleticism, eventually winning it with his ‘Red Devil Lock’ (Lifted Arm Hook). 59 Up next we got a celebration of a career achievement… A brilliant video package aired, showing Jase Cole and Christopher Lister winning Championships all over Europe… The former ‘Jed High’ and ‘Toby Juan Kenobi’ are former five-time Tag Champs in UCR and EWA… and now… They’re SIX time Champs… this time in 21CW… Both men have won singles Gold too, with Lister winning the VWA Swiss, and EWA Intercontinental… while Cole has won the UEW Nations, and FOUR singles Titles in EWA… But they were always destined to come back together, and now, they’re the United Tag Champs…!! And they came out to the ring to a heroes welcome…!! Jase Cole: “WE DID IT…!! And we’re BACK, where we should be…!!” Christopher Lister: “That’s right Jase… but… This is not some, end of the line… end of our careers, redemption story… no no… Yu see, one must always evolve…” Jase Cole: “That’s right, man… Now that we’ve ascended to the top… It’s time we thought about the future… stability… order… and balance…” Christopher Lister: “We are going to TRAIN a young, exciting tag team… Take them under our wing… and show them how to be the BEST tag team in the world… Like we are…” Cole confirmed that in TWO WEEKS… The new duo would debut… with Cole and Lister in their corner…!! We saw a clip next, at the end of Fight Night… Phillip Cooper had just lost his Title shot to Apollo Prince, and was coming back through the curtain… into an area we don’t see on TV very often… Cooper had a lot of blood on his face, and a doctor was trying to help him… Cooper pushed the doctor off, and veteran performer Clifford Wilson was on hand to try to help… The doctor grabbed what he thought was a cloth, and Wilson convinced Cooper to let him help stop the bleeding… But Cooper soon realised that the doctor had in fact picked up one of his HATS…!! Cooper was furious, and Wilson had to get between him and doc…!! Cooper ended up shoving Wilson, and the crew had to separate them… It’s lead to tonight’s Main Event… Clifford Wilson versus Phillip Cooper…!! ‘The Rock ‘N’ Roller’ Sebastian Koller [vs] ‘The Breeze’ Joey Beauchamp Two massive stars of European wrestling did battle here, with nothing on the line but pride. Both men had chances to win this one, with close near falls. But in the end, Koller landed his ‘Hamburg Rock City’ curb stomp and Beauchamp couldn’t get up. 51 Backstage, Emmett Askey was stood with his tag team clients: Mark Misery and Smiling John Smithie… who were telling him the story of how they met… Mark Misery: “So I walked into training… and this young Scottish kid was watching some drills in the ring… and we both said, at the very same time… “Wow… this is boring”… it was… hilarious…” Smithie laughed with his thick Scottish accent… at a completely un-funny story… and it wasn’t an enthusiastic laugh… As the two were reminiscing, The Bern Boys walked in… with their manager The Professor… The Professor: “Hmmm… BOORRRING…!! So you’ve been teaming up for about six months then, yes…? My Bern Boys met over two years ago… and when they started teaming up… The company they worked for, INVENTED a tag team division… just for them…!! Now THAT’s a story…” Mark Misery: “Tell you what Professor… Why don’t you and your ‘boys’ run along… and let the grown-ups finish speaking…” Professor sucker punched Misery in the eye, and he and the Bern Boys turned tail and got out of there…!! Clifford Wilson [vs] Phillip ‘Cooper Man’ Cooper Two fighters who couldn’t be any more different. Clifford Wilson kept saying he doesn’t want to wrestle matches anymore, and that he was too old to be in there with a talent like Cooper. But the longer the match wore on, the more he seemed to enjoy it! ‘Cooper Man’ gained some control, but the crowd rallied behind Wilson, and the veteran managed to fight back into it. He hit the ‘Falling Angel Moonsault’ (BME) which was impressive for a man of 49 years old! Before following it up with the ‘Descent Into Hell’ (Angel’s Wings). 74 Wilson had his hand raised, but was then jumped from behind out of nowhere by Edward Cornell…!! Cornell kicked Wilson while he was down, and the leader of the House of Business was angry for some reason… His actions brought out 21CW World Champion Apollo Prince… who sprinted to the ring to save the veteran, Wilson…!! Cornell strolled up the ramp, after escaping before Prince got into the ring… He had a microphone with him… Edward Cornell: “The games have just begun Apollo… Soon… I’ll be coming back to full fitness… SOON… I’ll be coming for my Title… but until then… The House Of Business are coming for EVERYONE… Nobody is safe… The games have just begun, and the HOUSE… Always wins…!!”

21CW Presents: Episode 22 Wednesday, Week 1, July 2020 Calling the action: Steve Smith and Dane Rowley Overall Rating: 67 We opened the show with clips from Loxley Robbins and Vicki Company’s wedding from a couple of weeks ago… Nobody has seen or heard from Loxley since he was screwed over by Blake Belushi… who stole his fiancé, on their wedding day, and stabbed him in the back… Artemis and Thurston then put him through a table… his night couldn’t have gone any worse… No news at all on when or if he’ll be back to Kingdom television… But when we came back live, we opened this show with tag team action… ... The Underdogs [vs] Nightmare & Ruin Fun opener here, as Joe Simpson and Michael X battled two men that were double their size! It was a fairly routine win for Nightmare and Ruin, who crushed The Underdogs and picked up a momentum building victory when Ruin hit his ‘Fold Up Powerbomb’ on Simpson. 54 In the back, Tommy Cornell and Buff Martinez, who was still in a sling, were arguing inside Colin Chalke’s office… Tommy Cornell: “Leapfrogging me to a Title shot, ey…?!” Buff Martinez: “I’m entitled to a re-match, and choo know it…!!” Tommy Cornell: “Oh yeah…?! How’s the arm doin’, son…?!” Buff Martinez: “Maybe ah’ll show choo in tha ring…?!” Tommy Cornell: “Be my guest… I won’t make it hurt a bit… I’ll make it hurt a LOT…!!” Buff Martinez: “It’ll hurt a lot… when I BEAT choo…!!” Colin Chalke had had enough, and he shouted at the arguing pair… he said they both have a legitimate claim for a Title shot… and he could think of only ONE way, that the number one contender was named in a fair way… He told the bickering pair that he would finalise some details, and then see them both in the ring later tonight…!! Elsewhere backstage, Alfonso D’Angelo was addressing his own comments form last week, where he challenged Buck Winchester to a singles match, after ‘Cowboy’ turned his back on their friendship, and joined The Booth… Alfonso D’Angelo: “I meant what I said… I want… Buck… Winchester… at WICKED!!” Alfonso was about to leave the scene, when suddenly he was jumped by The Booth… with Buck Winchester and DJ Reason barking orders…!! While Grandmaster Phunk and Dangermouth laid the boots in, ‘Cowboy’ shouted at his former friend… Buck Winchester: “Oh you don’t want NONE o’ this, boyyy…!! But I’ll tell you what, partna… Beat Grandmaster Phunk here, nex’ week on Kingdom… an’ you an’ I can do our lil’ dance… whaddya say…?!” Buck said he couldn’t hear Alfonso’s reply, and laughed… because the youngster was badly beaten up, and no doubt bruised from the encounter… ‘Cowboy’ said he’d see ‘The Furious Bi-Curious’ next week… when Phunk is going to make an example out of him… ‘The Quiet One’ Sifu [vs] ‘The British Lion’ Leigh Burton As the old saying goes: It’s always ‘The Quiet Ones’ you need to watch, and tonight was no different. Sifu calmly went about his business early on, and then for the middle portion of the match, was totally dominated, and didn’t have a lick of offence. For the closing moments though, he came alive again, and Burton couldn’t handle the buzzsaw. In the end, Burton’s partner and fellow Tag Team Champion: Landon Mallory hit the ring. His arrival distracted Sifu, and allowed Burton to hit his running knee strike. 63 In the men’s locker room, Kevin Jones and Jeremy Allen were talking business… specifically… Monkey Business…!! Allen said he enjoyed their victory last week, where they returned to their ‘roots’ as a tag team… The ‘Shane Hannigans’, and ‘Tom Foolery’ tactics, seemed to get under the skin of the dangerous Nightmare and Ruin, and they picked up a big win against the big men… Allen suggested they do it more often, and Jones seemed to be on board…!! Next up, we learned that ‘D-B-F’ Daniel Black Francis, would be returning to Kingdom TV after a few weeks on the shelf…!! Inexplicably, D-B-F showed up at Loxley Robbins’ Bucks Party (stag doo) in Prague, and tried to get a Championship re-match against the man who took his Title: Best Man, Blake Belushi… Belushi smashed a bottle over his head, and beat him up, before throwing a chair at him… and he was being treated out in Prague for his injuries… Next week though, Francis will address the assault, and confirm that he is one of a long list of Belushi enemies… He may have to get in line to get to the Australian… ‘The Irish Stretching Machine’ Merle O’Curle [vs] Stevie ‘Smasher’ Stoat 10 years ago, this match would have Main Evented any pay-per-view. 15 years ago, both of these men were winning the Ring Of Fire Championship, and at the top of the company. Right now, both are just a few big wins away from returning to the top – despite their age. O’Curle got one of those big wins here, when he locked in his ‘Celtic Wreath’ (Standing Inverted Cloverleaf) and made Stoat tap out. 61 Backstage, Phil Harmonic and his group were shown watching their rival: Merle O’Curle win… Edison Silva was angry with Harmonic… because last week, in the six man, Harmonic didn’t choose Silva and Kelvin Badberry as his partners…!! And Harmonic was not happy… he SLAPPED Silva… causing the MMA fighter to fall backwards and hold his face… Phil Harmonic: “How DARE you question me…!! I’ve beaten Merle O’Curle two weeks running… The two I chose was the RIGHT call, because we WON…!!” Kelvin Badberry stood behind Harmonic, and Silva backed down… He was apologetic to ‘The King of the Cruiserweights’… Next up, we found out that the BEDLAM / War Machine rivalry and Best of Seven Series would get it’s next and final instalment at Wicked…!! Next week… on Kingdom… It’ll be Pick Your Poison, as BEDLAM and War Machine will choose opponents for their rivals…!! With the scores tied at 3-3… their match at Wicked will settle their series… and truly determine who the ‘Most Dangerous Man In Britain’ is…!! w/ Gorilla Lee w/ Andrew Lee, JK Lee & Cousin Konrad [vs] Lone Wolf Gorilla Lee is so much fun to watch. He batters his opponents with vicious power moves and strikes, but has a big smile on his face while he does it. Lone Wolf is 298lbs, but his offence bounced off the 461lb Gorilla Lee. He hit the ‘Mighty Avalanche’, where he stepped on Lone Wolf’s chest, and dropped down into a splash to win it! 47 The Lee FamiLee, including Cousin Konrad, remained in the ring, as they had an announcement to make… Gorilla Lee: “I know you’re all dying to hear from him… and since this announcement pertains to him… I give you… COUSIN… KONRAD…!!” Cousin Konrad grabbed the microphone… and the crowd cheered the Swedish grappler loudly…!! The intense ‘Stone Cold Killer’ paused and let the crowd cheer and chant his name… before staring directly down the camera, and referencing the staredown he had with BEDLAM last week…!! Cousin Konrad: “BEDLAM… One of these days… I come for you… But at Wicked… I make my 21CW debut… Watch…!!” ‘The Real Angel of the North’ Nate Manchester [vs] Local Talent Nate Manchester finally got his 1 on 1 match with a local talent, after trying for a few weeks, and he showed exactly what he’s capable of. He hit his ‘Manc-Sault’ to win it, after a dominant showing. 42 We saw a promo video next, showing the tag team known as The Welsh Wizards: Welsh Dragon and Aurelian Bradley… The video showed how different Dragon and Bradley are as in-ring competitors… Dragon flies around the ring, and makes everything look effortless… His high-flying and flashiness is second to none on the 21CW roster, but he does also possess technical skills… Aurelian Bradley on the other hand believes that one day he’ll be the greatest technical wrestler in the history of the UK… which is a tall task… At 22 and 18 respectively, the sky is the limit for Dragon and Bradley, as they continue their rise on Kingdom… ‘The Neanderthal’ Andrew Lee [vs] ‘Awesome’ Wade Orson Not the best Main Event ever, but Lee more than held his own out there, despite leaving the rest of the Lee FamiLee in the back. Orson is a recent World Heavyweight Champion, but he carries himself as a star, and wrestles like one too. Lee was beaten with the ‘Bounce Back’ (Pounce) in the end, and Orson stood over his fallen opponent with his arms spread wide as he looked up to the sky and the boos rained down. The boos soon turned to cheers though. 61 Tommy Cornell arrived… and waited on the stage as the crowd cheered him loudly… Before Buff Martinez (still with a sling), Kathleen Lee, and Kingdom General Manager: Colin Chalke arrived alongside him… Colin Chalke: “Orson… I’m out here to reveal your opponent for WICKED…!! Now… Tommy Cornell IS the rightful Number One Contender… However, Buff Martinez DOES have a legitimate claim for a RE-MATCH for his World Heavyweight Title… So here’s what we’re gonna do… At Wicked… If Buff Martinez IS cleared to compete… it’ll be a Triple Threat Match… If Buff is NOT cleared… Tommy Cornell gets his shot… and regardless of the winner, Buff’s re-match remains valid…!!” Orson complained, but Chalke said he didn’t want to hear it… Cornell smiled and waved at Orson from the stage, while Buff and Kathleen Lee plotted… However, they didn’t see Orson’s friends: Leigh Burton and Landon Mallory arrive…!! Burton shoved Tommy Cornell, and he staggered and fell, and rolled down the ramp… Mallory kicked Buff Martinez low, dropping him down to a knee, before kicking his bad shoulder…!! Kathleen Lee was beside herself, and tried to protect Buff… but the damage was done with that one kick to the arm…!! Referees, officials, and Colin Chalke saw Burton and Mallory off, before Cornell could get his hands on them…

I hear you mate. Good stuff can be overwhelming / time consuming / tiring too. I have a great tip for anyone who's feeling down in the dumps if anyone ever needs it... I call it 'THE LIST THING'... It's a working title... I heard there's a 100-Day Cough bug thing... I think I've had it 7 times in a row or so... Feel like I've been ill for about 2 years now.

I did indeed mean Merle Not sure how I made that error, but you all got the idea I actually do rate Stoat... but he's a solid 44 year old mid-carder with some previous cred and strong popularity in the UK, rather than anything special. He was a no-brainer of a signing when I began this, for my 'sand box' style... in cannon, he quit because Pitbull Brown was booking him to lose all the time... awwwkwaaaard... Agreed. I really like Andrew (and the Lee FamiLee), but Andrew in particular has a strong character and good skills. He's 26, he doesn't need to be Main Eventing just yet though. Plenty of time on that one, and his stable is helping him improve really nicely. My aim is to have the four of them (all under 29) be so beloved, that when one turns on the other three, you'll all HATE him... Right now, I'm so into booking them as a 'family unit' that I haven't decided which will turn, or when, so it's a long-term stable for now Just realised, Apollo Prince is only 24... so Andrew isn't 'that' young... but Prince is a special case in my books.

Sorry to hear that buddy. Always around if you need a DM chat. 2024 has so far been hard for us too - could do with a bunch of money just landing in my lap out of nowhere to be honest. And my sons to both stop picking up bugs / illnesses etc.

Forgot to post this: @Charasmatic Enigma and @KyTeran share the top score on Fight Night with an impressive 8/11... Charismatic Enigma also secured top spot for June... So double prize for you, and one for KyTeran incoming!
