Miro tweeted earlier saying that Omega is a vad engineer or something and thats what they need to do. Lean ibto it. Everyone mocks Kenny & Callis for poor engineering and Kingston passed out from adrenaline rush etc. thus he went limp. "I thought I was gonna die. I should've. But Kenny. You F'd up and left us alive..." Or have it that they didn't rig it properly as they weren't 100% convinced that Kenny wouldn't be in there when it went off or that they didn't trust Good Brothers to aid Omega. It won't fix the screw up but it'll save face and make a new angle One mistake shouldn't take away from what was still an excellent show. AEW do need to fix the production issues with audio etc. We're 18 months in and it's still not tremendous. Otherwise, I'm completely hyped going forward.

Great show across the board. The 'explosion' was incredibly disappointing as the 'blowoff' to this feud deserved much better but on reflection is easily explained away in Kayfabe and if anyone can pivot this into a hot angle on the mic it's gonna be Kingston. Kingston vs Omega should be good. Bucks vs Pac/Fenix? Inject that into my veins!

I'll see you down the road “When you boys have a second come and join me out in the ring!” I didn’t hang about in the locker room for long. The boys had worked hard and put on a hell of a show for those in attendance and you could smell the effort that they’d gone to in order to entertain those in attendance at The Battle of the Mid Atlantic. I walked through a long corridor, through our makeshift curtain/entrance spot and headed to the ring that was in the middle of our venue for tonight. As I scaled the ringside steps there was a ping and a vibration from my pocket. Presumably, some of the fans were tweeting about the show and tagging me in their statuses. Over 400 fans had been in attendance this evening and witnessed, in my opinion, our best show of the year so far. I grabbed a chair and brought it into the ring with me where I sat it in the centre of the mat. I called across to Bobby Barnett, one of our TCW developmental talent to bring in two extra chairs which he gladly did. We have people who do come in and run the box office and help us out with running the live events but I always make sure that the boys are never getting too big for their britches and that they take it in shifts to always help clear the venue and take down the ring. It’s honest work and reminds them of what it takes to keep companies in operation so if they move on or make it to the big leagues they never forget the importance of the people around them keeping the engine running. As Bobby began to exit the ring I reminded him that everyone gets a shot at some point in the company and to keep working and training. He nodded in agreement and affirmed that he was happy to be here and to learn the business. From out of my jacket pocket I pulled out my trusty bottle of Lagavulin single malt and 3 shot glasses. “Bobby, wait…” I filled up one of the glasses and offered him a shot. He took a second to look at the glass and then look at me to assess the situation and see if I was serious or not. “I’m only 18, sir.” “Are you refusing to have a drink with Sam Keith?” I asked him with a tone of seriousness. “Umm… Well no, I just…” came his nervous response. “I’m just messing with you kid,” I said as I quickly switched my tone up to try and put him at ease. “I mean I certainly wouldn’t have told on you but you’re a smart kid.” A smile flashed across his face and he thanked me for the offer before dropping down and rolling out the ring. “Bobby” I called out to him. “I can do the rest. You get organised and head out and if you see Findlay and Chris back there tell them to hurry up. I filled the other two glasses and placed them on the chairs that I had seated either side of me in the ring. I took my spot in the middle and placed the shot glass in my hand at my feet as I pulled out my phone to check what the notification was that I received a few moments ago. It was from Twitter. It had only been a few minutes but there were already a few responses to Chris’ update and they would inevitably come in thick and fast over the next few hours as the word would make its way around the wrestling world. It was an understated retirement by all accounts that was perfectly befitting of a man who had been understated and underrated for a lot of his career. There was no official announcement of it being a retirement bout. He just went out, kicked some ass, did his best to put a younger guy over and went out on his back in the traditional fashion. He deserved a bigger send-off but instead, he got exactly what he asked for. "You still not finished that bottle old-timer?" came the gravely call from behind the curtain. "I could've sworn you were drinking that when I left this place six years ago" Findlay said as he adjusted his studded leather jacket at the arms. At his side was the man who had officially announced his retirement moments ago ensuring that an ice pack was securely strapped to his shoulder. "Or maybe I've drunk many more and just kept this one back for when you return, hotshot?" I chirped back with a tongue-in-cheek assertiveness. "You value me that much? Oof, I'm honoured" "Should I give you two a moment to continue this back-slapping show of emotion?" Chris said jokingly. "Just get your crippled old ass in this ring and drink with me" Findlay hopped up to the ring and sat on the second rope whilst lifting the top to allow Chris easy access in the ring. Chris slowly climbed in and took a seat as Findlay followed and took the one to my right, both picking up the glasses. "Well, Chris, you've had a hell of a run. To one hell of a career" I said as I raised the shot glass in the air. "Woah, wait... what?! What do you mean a hell of a career?" came the confused response to my right. "Have you not checked your phone yet?" Chris said. "No." "Well, congratulations. You just retired Chris Caulfield" I declared to the hall. "Shit... Did I know about this and forget?" Findlay replied with puzzlement in his voice. "Chris, honestly I didn't know this was gonna be your last match" "And you weren't supposed to, brother". Chris said contentedly. This was a man who, as he had said in a previous meeting, was satisfied with his lot in life and was happy with his decision. "Now raise your ****ing glass and toast me. Dink em' and sink em'" The three of us laughed and we did as was instructed. "You're the biggest bad-ass in the yard now, kid. It's good to have you back" I said gesturing towards Findlay. "It's good to be back boss." Findlay said. "Thanks for the match, Chris. I'm honoured that you chose me for your last" "I chose Greg Gauge but Sam tells me he's not here anymore" Chris said through laughter. "Go away and be retired old man" Findlay fired back with a smirk across his face. "With pleasure" Chris rose to his feet and shook both of our hands. I caught his gaze before he let go of my hand. "What's your thoughts on hanging about and helping the boys?" "I'm still mulling it over but I'll let you know bud. I'll see you down the road" He let go of my hand and stepped out through the ropes. I quickly grabbed my phone and turned the volume up as loud as it would go so that Springsteen's classic 'Badlands' could be heard in the vicinity. Chris turned backend smiled. "Your music taste is getting better, Sam" he shouted as he walked through the curtain and headed down the road.

September 2020 - #20 Whatever It Takes An unadulterated success is how I would class 'The Battle Of The Mid Atlantic'. The show was undoubtedly our strongest of the year, all the boys performed exceptionally and they deserve any plaudits coming their way. Since the beginning of the year we have been in a gradual process of 'evolving' the style of our product. For years we've been putting on a product that most 'smarks' and professionals in the industry would class as 'Golden Age Pro Wrestling'. This refers to a time where, especially back in the 60's and 70's, wrestling was treated and viewed by fans as legitimate competition. Before the days of 'Kayfabe' and peeks behind the curtain the fans wholly believed that what they were seeing was legit. There were elements of flair and show-biz and extravagance poking through as well That was us. It still is. More so now than previously as I believe the 'product terms' are very open to interpretation. Now? We're what's classed as Silver Age Pro Wrestling. Where work rate is kind and the focus of the product is more about how talented the workers are inside the ring as opposed to how popular they are with fans. That was always us but... whatever?! It's confusing as hell, right? I don't even know what I'm saying at this stage. Let's pretend I said something really insightful and interesting, yeah? What's important here is that we have an incredibly talented roster on our hands here. Some boys can work, some can talk, some can do both but all of them are hungry and keen to learn and keen to be their best. That's what Mid-Atlantic Wrestling is all about. The boys put on a hell of a show that the fans ate up and performed to the biggest audience of the year. We stayed in Baltimore but moved to a slightly bigger hall along the road that allowed over 400 fans to get in on the action as opposed to the 300 maximum allowed in Stanley Hall. Chris Caulfield said his farewell to the business in an excellent street fight. It was never going to win MOTY but it proved how legitimately tough both guys were and put Findlay over like rover! He quietly announced his retirement on social media after the show so even the fans in attendance had no idea they'd just witnessed his last match. He didn't want a big song and dance. He just wanted to do the time-honoured tradition of the business and bow out. September's Evolved is up next and it'll be a mesh of different things going on in the company as the show rolls on. I'm excited about what we've got going on here. I hope you are too and hope that you tune in for the show.

I'm late to the party on this one but I've always held a deep-seated like and intrigue into WCCW so I'm gonna catch up on it. Looks good though friend.

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #c43e12; margin:10px;background: #fcb103; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">It's late 2005 and the SWF Juggernaut is still on top of the wrestling world. For decades Richard Eisen's powerhouse has been the #1 promotion in the world of professional wrestling. Many challengers have come and gone in their attempts to overthrow the machine but, so far, none have prevailed. It is well known that Eisen loves competition but he loves defeating and putting any competition out of business even more. With the roster he currently has assembled, the perfect blend of experience and youth, and the level of star power it holds it seems like nothing can stop him. Characters like Rich Money, Jack Bruce, Steve Frehley, Remo Richardson and Enygma working with characters such as Sam Keith, Christian Faith and Runaway Train is a can't fail method for printing money and staying on top. So what were to happen if a number of the other prominent companies in the business were to come together, create alliances, share talent and help each other to stay in business? Well, that's just the idea that Steve DeColt had and that he's attempting to make a reality. Nobody is entitled to a monopoly on the industry and why shouldn't companies work together more often? Why be in war with each other when you can help each other grow? He made a few calls and the motions were in place for the World Wrestling Alliance to be born... Company Owner Booker Of course, he'd have to convince his brothers to get on board, convince the other owners and bookers that it was a good idea and get the idea past his old man. Lord knows that would be no easy feat but if he could there was potential for greatness. Supershows? Sure. Alliance specific titles? Heck yeah! Sticking it to Richard Eisen? Well everyone wants to do that don't they?! </div>

Nate's raw power was matched up against DWN's more technical approach and it made for a very interesting match-up.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - The crowd roared its approval with every strike, kick and slam that connected with Newton and DeMarcus looked every inch a champion in this match but tonight he'd fall short.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - The crowd on his side and him fired up, he charged from the corner at full title towards DWN and seemingly connected with his powerful Snap Tackle but the savvy champion Newton somehow managed to completely roll through the manoeuvre and lock in his STF submission which nobody has survived yet.

One of the true greats of the business and a man who excels in this sort of match, Chris Caulfield, coming up against one of the icons of MAW who has made an emphatic return at the expense of Caulfield, Findlay.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - The match was branded as a 'street fight' and it very quickly began to live up to its name. With the match being a novelty of sorts to the fans of MAW they were very excited and intrigued and soon were involved in the thick of the action.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Both men immediately started trading slugging right hands on the outside. Caulfield got the better of the exchange and then promptly whipped Findlay into the metal barricade with an echoing crash. The Hardcore American then clenched his fist tightly and hammered down on the forehead or Findlay several times as the crowd roared its approval. Feeling the energy from the crowd Chris took a few steps backwards and then ran towards Findlay for a clothesline but the big fella put up a boot to the jaw of Caulfield and then promptly, and with relative ease, propelled him over the barricade and into the audience who quickly scattered as Caulfield landed on the concrete. Findlay stepped over the barricade and waded his way through the crowd before putting a couple of stiff boots to the skull of Caulfield.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Findlay turned to the crowd and began to respond to a few of those in attendance who were smack-talking him. This offered Caulfield enough time to stumble to his feet and grab a wok that was offered to him by a fan. He staggered towards Findlay and smacked it off of the big guys head with a satisfying bonk. He cast the pan aside and grabbed the arm of Findlay and whipped him into a stone wall a few metres away from them. Grabbing Findlay's head he then pushed it with great vigour into the wall as it made an unpleasant crunching sound. Crumpling to the ground we could now see that Findlay had been busted open from the impact. Caulfield celebrated with his adoring fans, politely asked one of them to borrow their seat and then threw the steel chair towards Findlay on the ground who only narrowly rolled out of the way. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Findlay promptly sat up and stared coldly into the eyes of Caulfield with an unnerving intensity to it. He then hopped up to his feet, wiped the blood from his brow and charged at the patriot pushing him with a power that lifted Chris from his feet and sent him flying several feet into the barricade that he collided with that surely crunched his spine. Findlay then grabbed a cheese grater that a fan had brought into the hall and he scored it across the head of Caulfield instantly drawing blood that began to flow from his forehead.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - The big bruiser hopped the barricade and from underneath the ring pulled out a table that he then set up between the ring and the barricade. Following this, he grabbed Caulfield by what's left of the icons fuzzy black hair and dragged him up and over the barricade and up onto the ring mat. Findlay hoisted Chris up to his feet and slapped his frying pan-sized hands against his opponent's neck and gripped tightly. The fans anticipated what was coming and began to shout 'No!' but Findlay ignored their pleas and lifted Caulfield into the air before throwing him through the table with an emphatic chokeslam. The wooden table splintered into hundreds of pieces as the body crashed through it and Findlay laughed heartily at the state of the 46-year-old legend who didn't look good at all.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Findlay then once again looked under the ring and pulled out 5 or 6 steel chairs and slid them into the ring where he assembled them into an untidy pile where he waited impatiently for his opponent to roll into the ring. A minute or so passed before the crowd erupted into cheers as their hero slowly rose from the floor and slowly rolled into the ring. He clutched the ropes tightly and pulled himself to a standing position as Findlay looked down at him with disdain.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - He was dragged across the ring towards the pile of chairs. Findlay looked at Chris, then to the pile of steel and then back to Chris but as he glanced back at his opponent, Chris had dropped to his knees and landed a brutal low-blowing uppercut to the nethers of Findlay who immediately hunched over in pain. Caulfield fired himself up and signalled for his Danger Drop finish. Findlay reacted out of instinct though and pushed Caulfield away towards the ropes. Caulfield bounced back and was caught with Findlay's Atomic Spinebuster as he was planted into the mound of chairs. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Jay Fair looked on in astonishment at what he was witnessing. He instinctually went to check on the industry legend but before he could Findlay made the cover. Fair slapped his hand to the mat three times and then called for the bell.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Findlay def.

Blaze is the company champion. It could be argued that Youngman is the champion of eight different companies in the form of being the COTT World Heavyweight champion. Either way, both men hold gold. Both belts are on the line and the anticipation for this bout from the fans has only increased in the aftermath of the street fight they just witnessed.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - This match was over 20-minutes of exciting action in what could be argued is the best match in recent MAW history. Neither men were willing to give an inch to the other and both crowd favourites had moments of rallying the audience behind them as they each looked to put the other way.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - The fight looked like it could go the distance as the fans were eating up every second of it but eventually controversy would rear its ugly head. After Youngman planted a superkick to the jaw of Blaze both men fell to the mat and the ref began to count to 10 but as he did so Findlay, Deadline & Tennessee William made their way along the ramp towards the ring as the rapturous cheers turned to deafening boos.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - William said that their presence would be felt this evening and this is how it would be done. They all entered the ring together and stood in a triangle formation surrounding the downed duo. The ref continued to count to 10 but as he reached 7 both men slowly began to rise to their feet using each other to get to a standing position and once they were to their feet they stood, backs pressed against each other, looking at the situation that surrounded them. Youngman advanced toward William as Blaze stumbled towards Findlay. Findlay propped up Blaze and slammed him into the canvas with an Atomic Spinebusteras William did what he's done several times before and crushed his guitar against the skull of Youngman. Jay Fair had no option but to call for the bell.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Bradley Blaze went to a Double DQ with Ernest Youngman in 24:11.</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> Both men retain their titles.</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> Match Rating: 65</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> </strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> </strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Post-Match</span></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Not content with simply ending the match early on their terms, the trio continues to lay waste to the champions with each man landing their finisher on both Youngman and Blaze. The fans begin to throw trash on the ring and some even throw missile-like weapons at the trio before the men dip out of the ring and head back up the ramp.
