As the announcing team informs the audience, Montero is a standout wrestler for EWA and this is his opportunity to showcase what he can do in front of a major live and TV crowd. Though not bad in the ring, Montero's brawl-heavy offense seems to clash a bit with Howard's power moves and that does drag the match down a notch. That aside, Montero gets a good chance to showcase his skill for ten or so minutes before Howards hit him with a Bull Tackle spear for the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Robert Howard</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="iyN2viL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iyN2viL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="xsYNgOC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xsYNgOC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Leon Harrison vs Hugo Lopes</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> If the previous match was a glimpse into the future of NGW, this one is a trip to its past with the return of Hugo Lopes to an NGW ring. One of the company's earliest talents who used to wrestle on a local level in the late 90s, Lopes can still go in the ring but a combination of age and ring rust have done no favors to his high flying style and Harrison is able to score an easy victory via his PRIDE Driver finisher.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Leon Harrison</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="KBU74Hx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KBU74Hx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="PFb9alT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PFb9alT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="M2RTO0E.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M2RTO0E.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PybIMT9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PybIMT9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nYdtjiY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nYdtjiY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wGTzFkZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wGTzFkZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> NGW's Commissioner Sebastian Krause comes to the ring and requests that both the Cruiserweight and Heavyweight Tag Team champions join him between the ropes.</p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46461" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Krause: <strong>"As you all know, at Back to School, we will be having a draft to go with our announced brand split to determine which wrestler will join which brand.

The main event is a very Japanese-style contest, paced slowly and built around the drama and psychology as it escalates steadily to the finish. The match starts with some chops and strikes back and forth, then Frye goes for slams and suplexes while Hossam tries to keep the fight on the mat where he's at his strongest.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="cTU1ZCQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cTU1ZCQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BJ5XbNO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BJ5XbNO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> At one point, Roy Edison hits the ring and attempts to lure Frye into fighting him, but Adam Matravers is quick to rush down to the ring and hop onto the barricade to take him off with a spectacular dropkick.

Calvin: Alright Jerry, are you ready for this? Jerry: Oh God... Calvin: It's time to shovel the wrestlecrap once more, it's the show no one asked for but still claims to be Back by Demand, ladies and gentlemen this is our review of another Chi-Town Urban Combat show to NOT take place in Chicago or even the state of Illinois for that matter... this is CTUC's Back by Demand show... Jerry: So I know a lot of fans have been asking about the broadcast team but can we please take a moment first to dissect how bad their production values are? Calvin: Their what? Jerry: Exactly. They got a basic ring apron with their company name on it, a hardcam plus two on the move and some basic electronic noise they try to pass as music that's probably written by some kid still living in his mom's basement. Calvin: It's low budget, Jerry. I think they might try to pass it as gritty, but they're just trying to slash expenses. Same with the announcers, they're so mediocre it hurts. Jerry: I think they're going for sillyness to mask their shortcomings, really. So we got Maximillian Weller calling the action... Check this out, the man is from Germany... but he has a heavy French accent to him... and his catchphrase is "oh my, what a hootenanny!" Calvin: What does that even mean? Jerry: I don't know, but it sounds stereotypically British to me! Calvin: And that dude is paired with Michelle Lawless, who some fans in the Tri-State area may know as Athena in American Wrestling Odyssey... Jerry: I can see where the comedic vein and sillyness comes from now... Calvin: And she looks like she just tasted the most sour margharita in the world Jerry: Come on, that's classic antagonistic heel colour commentary... Calvin: As soon as I saw her, I thought she was some kind of soccer mom with no idea what she was in for... I mean, I can imagine her doing those wholesome AWO shows and then switching to CTUC like "what the hell?" Jerry: Yeah but how can you keep up that shock for the entire show? And then show in and show out? I mean, it's a good idea, but it's got a very limited shelf life. Calvin: Well it's not our show to book and speaking of which, the show kicked off with a fight for the ages between... w Calvin:...The Bonechillers, which apparently is what Skullmagedon and Skullsy call their team, versus Club Exotico who are obviously using the good ol' pájaro libre rules... Jerry: Was that Freebird in Spanish? Calvin: You bet it was, so last month we saw Carlotta wrestle, if that could be called wrestling... Jerry: You know what, I think this match had it's comedy spots but it actually had more, you know... real wrestling. Calvin: Yes, so this month we got to see Exotico Muerte and Satanico open the show at the American Legion Post #56 in Alberta Lea, Minnesotta in front of 377 people who actually paid to see this live... Jerry: That's 14 fans more than last time in Ravenwood, Missouri so watch out, CTUC is pickin up steam... Calvin: So we didn't see much of Carlotta's wrestling style last month but Exotico did some classic high flying lucha stuff and Satanico does the grappling... Jerry: If it wasn't already obvious by that live snake he brings to the ring with him... I mean, subtle, real subtle there... Calvin: I guess that must make Carlotta the bruiser of the group, which is hilarious. So anyway, Skullsy works most of the match and takes a beating from the Exoticos, Skullmageddon is going mental on the apron, he finally gets the hot tag, destroys both Exoticos AND Carlotta, hits the Spinetingler on Satanico... Jerry: Which is a spine buster, but I love the name change... Calvin: Scores the pin, win the match and then immediately gets in Skullsy's face to shout about that's how it's done and how he won the match on his own and whatever. Jerry: Which would have been better if he hadn't been so sloppy while he was the legal man... The irony was the Exoticos were so awkward together as a team, Skullmageddon almost got away with it. Almost. How would you rate this opening contest, Calvin? Calvin: Two stars, tops. Then we go to a hype up promo from none other than... Calvin: ...the Ghetto Cowboy, Tyrell Starr! Jerry: Howdy n*ggaz... Wow Calvin: That's his catchphrase, it seems Jerry: Good luck trying to get that one over, kid. Calvin: Good luck trying to get that entire character over, he's got some skill on the mic but this hood Texas mashup... "I'm gonna bash him like the bull from the block"? Like, I can't even... Jerry: Fans seemed to like it marginally better than the opening contest though, judging from their reaction, which is extremely puzzling to me because how can people in Alberta Lea, Minnesotta relate to anything either Hollywood or Texas related? Calvin: Cowboys and cockiness, Jerry... It's not rocket science. It's weird, but it's not that far off. I mean, the combination is insane, but the core elements still make sense. What really made no sense was this next match, by far the worst in the entire show... Calvin: ...Wrath versus Powerhead! Jerry: You know what, this is the last match I'd expect to see in a counter culture promotion. Like, giants and hoss fights are pure sports entertainment stuff. You're supposed to be the alternative! Calvin: I don't know who thought of this and what they were high on at the time, because it's not just the size, it's how stiff and plodding these two guys were... and they had them do an arena wide brawl! Jerry: That was like a textbook example of how to NOT use these wrestlers. Calvin: The only thing they got right about this is they didn't let it run longer than five minutes. But those five minutes... man, they felt like an eternity! Jerry: I mean, it's clear that Wrath can't really wrestle... and Powerhead was so off he was a mess... Calvin: That spot where he picked up Killboy and threw him at Wrath? I thought he pulled a muscle in his back doing that one. Jerry: I'm surprised Wrath managed to catch Killboy and hit that awkward slam. Calvin: Just over one star, worst match of the show no doubt. The story here was Powerhead went bezerk, he went after Tiffany Poe in his craze and that triggered Wrath to kick it up a notch... Jerry: Which is nothing like that sounds... Calvin: Hit his finisher, get the pin and then the fight continues with Killboy joining in... Calvin: ...so Gluttony and Sloth come down to the ring... Jerry: You mean Gluttony, because Sloth was more like, walked to the ring... Calvin: It's his character, Jerry. So these two join the fight to defend their friends, remember they fought Killboy Powerhead last month for the tag titles too... it's a free for all, Wrath picks up Tiffany Foe to take her someplace safe... Jerry: And this guy comes out! Calvin: Remember, he hasn't been introduced yet so we don't know, is he Ugly Bob? Is he Vanity? Is he Envy? Is he something else? What we do know is he's in some sort of angle with the Sins. So he comes out, helps Gluttony and Sloth... Jerry: Which, I'll remind you, are the fresh pair here so theoretically they already had the advantage and didn't need the help... Calvin: Exactly, so they stop the fighting and they're like "what's this guy's deal?" Jerry: He seems to be friendly, but then Powerhead irish whips Killboy onto him from behind and he is pushed onto Gluttony and Sloth, no one knows if he was trying to help or if he attacked them, the brawl continues and it takes the entire locker room... Calvin: ...except Wrath... Jerry: ...to come and break it up. And people are yelling "let them fight" because honestly, this would have been a much better fight than the match that did actually happen! Anyway, the ring clears up eventually and out come... Jerry: Frankie Petruzzi, who is doing his best impression of a silent bodyguard while Summer Whitley gets on the mic... and by the way, she introduces herself as Mariah Milan! Calvin: Copyright infringement! Jerry: No Calvin, because they cut off that last -o... because she's from Milan, get it? Calvin: I bet some teenage boys who spend way too much time on the internet get it... Anyway, that aside, Summer, or rather, Mariah, looks fine as hell and on top of that, she can talk! Jerry: Yeah judging by her reaction to the crowd's noise, I think most of her promo was improv... which was pretty good, by the way. Even if she had to say something about Simba owing to the mob for that raisin deal... Calvin: That's a shoot, by the way, because for fans who don't know, Simba has been arrested for his role in a raising smuggling ring, of all things, and banned from ever entering mainland Europe... and I thought the rap game is tough... Jerry: Between Summer's good looks and her mic skills, it was a decent segment, even if was about absolute nonesense. Which of course was the lead-in to a match between... w Jerry: Simba the Tribal Warrior and Frankie Petruzzi... alternative title, African stereotype versus Italian stereotype... Calvin: The characters may be a bit outdated, but the actual wrestling wasn't so bad. It was a watchable ten or so minutes... Jerry: For CTUC standards, at least Calvin: Yeah, for CTUC standards, it was a watchable match and Simba got some heat back after losing the ladder match for the title last month, even if he did have to cheat in order to get Petruzzi in that Massai Lock. I'd say two stars out of five for this, again pretty decent for the CTUC average so far. Jerry: Then we move on to the hardcore match of the night, again because in all the nonesense and comedy, you may have forgotten this is actually supposed to be a hardcore promotion... Jerry: Kurtis Payne versus... Calvin: EL CHUPACABRA! Jerry: EL CHUPACABRA! Calvin: Whoever came up with that mask and that character... The guy portraying him is so into it though Jerry: Sooooo into it... Calvin: It was actually a respectable hardcore match, just over two stars maybe... blood, cuts, savagery, weapons... Jerry: That axe is not just a prop, folks... Calvin: Yeah I have to give them credit for actually using that axe... Kurtis was slightly better in that ring, but victory went to... Both: EL CHUPACABRA! Jerry: Because they gotta build up that beast! Calvin: Indeed and its next match will probably be against Orcus or Moxley... Calvin: ...because the Chi-Church Cult attacked the beast after the match! The real question is, who will the match be against? We have yet to see Moxley wrestle, but Orcus has that Bucket o' Blood title... Jerry: Ze plot thickenz! Calvin: And we're down to the main event... Calvin: Mikey Malice defending the CTUC Nation of Violence title against Tyrell Starr in a Tables match! Jerry: So it's punk meets ghetto Calvin: That, plus meets Texas tough... it's complicated Jerry: Much like Lust's relationship status on Facebook Calvin: Now this was probably the best match of the show... Jerry: As it should, it's the main event for the top title! Calvin: Rated it at two and a quarter stars, it was an entertaining mix between Mikey Malice's hardcore brawling and Tyrell Starr's high flying style. Jerry: We have to talk about that spot though. Calvin: Yes, the finish had that wow factor but it was interesting how they added that taint to the victory too... so Tyrell Starr goes for a headlock, but Malice shoves the ref forward and Starr puts the lock on him... Jerry: I had to suspend my disbelief real hard for that one... Calvin: ...which messes up the ref's mask and has him blinded for a bit. The two guys fight it out in the meantime, Starr hits a lariat, sends Malice over the rope but Malice lands on the apron, Starr hits the ropes and knocks him out with a tope suicida through a table outside... Jerry: So in theory Malice was the first to go through that table and Starr has won, but the ref never saw it. Calvin: He never saw the spot, so by the time his mask is back on proper, all he sees is the two guys laying in the remains of the table and with no idea who went through, he calls for the match to continue... Jerry: Starr continues to attack, goes high risk at one point and Malice shoves him off the top turnbuckle to send him crashing through another table on the outside, which means he wins the match to retain but Starr should have actually won it. Calvin: It's hard to do a messy finish with a stipulation like that but they somehow pulled it off to keep Starr looking strong... I think they may be pushing him hard eventually, so far they're probably throwing stuff on the wall still to see what sticks. Top to bottom it was no more than two stars as a show in general and I'm looking for next month, because that show is called Caged Ambition... Jerry: So there will be a cage match Calvin: I mean, there has to be a cage match when you name your show like that! Jerry: Guess we'll know when the card is announced.

FCW Puerto Rican Championship Texas Pete versus Puerto Rican Power © Pete is good, but too unreliable to be given the title. Not sure he's as over in Puerto Rico too, plus the boss just won the title Trios Title Tournament Round One The Latino Kings versus Sawyer Sports Services presented by "Playboy" Jake Sawyer Gotta go with S3, which by the way is great for a trios group. Suspecting Xavi is in that group, plus the Kings are already an established group, it's Sawyer's peeps who need to go over "The Tap Out Artist" Billy Russell versus "The Hardcore Messiah" Doug Peak Dougster's probably in decline and here to do the favors "The Anvil" Mark Griffin versus Tex Tagan The booker's biased towards cowboys, but I think Griffin has more upside than Tex The All Americans (Keenan & DeMarcus) versus Mexican Hardcore Killers Killers are a regular team, latinos and looks like they're getting a solid push too. Depending on chemistry, I could see Keenan & DeMarcus becoming FCW's equivalent of American Alpha. Remember when that was a thing? Island Boy Apollo versus Shady K Weird seeing these two without their partners. Guessing K is more over and a loss would really kill his credibility Trios Title Tournament Round One Gonzalez, Milk, & Shaw versus The 937lb Express & Bull Wrecker presented by Carl Batch The faces look too random and it's probably Shaw taking the fall. The heels sticking together might be a good case for Kennedy and Wrecker to still do something while Ox carries them "Big Ham" Bobby Ray versus Prometheus presented by Maryam Vega Monster keeps murdering people Ricochet Ramone versus "The Iron Bear" Robin DaLay

Back to the Future, Monday Week 1 of September 2013 NGW Back to the Future (Weekly TV show) Held on Monday, Week 1 of September 2013 Venue: Assebroek Courts, Bruges, Belgium, Europe Attendance: 4.066, Ratings: 0.73 (553.820 viewers), Shown on Continental Sports X1 The show kicks off with a backstage segment. Christopher Lister is on the phone, flanked by Adam Matravers and Robert Howard. NGW's Commissioner, Sebastian Krause, opens the show proper by coming out and addressing the live crowd in Bruges. Joanne Rodriguez comes to the ring to a loud reaction from the fans. Fusae Etsuko's music hits and the NGW Women's champion comes out with a mic in hand and the title belt around her waist. Girl Power vs The Outcasts The episode's opening match is a women's tag team match between the reunited League of Heroes members Behr and Nakajima against the two women in the Outcasts group, Melanie Flyman and Viper McKenna. It's a decent match and an opportunity to see Nakajima and McKenna wrestle again, the former now spending most of her time in EWA and the latter mostly appearing as a ringside manager. McKenna's absence from action is played up in a few spots where she "misses" her cues and Behr eventually hits her with the Standing Moonsault for the pin to end the match. Winners: Girl Power Backstage, Sebastian Koller is welcoming another face that hasn't been seen for a while in Landon Mallory when Shiro Akuma walks by. Instead of answering, Akuma waves the offer away and continues on his way, leaving Koller and Mallory behind. The Outcasts vs Champagne Lover & Paolo Gandalfini Koller and Mallory make their entrance for their match, scheduled against former Army of Lovers allies Champagne Lover and Paolo Gandalfini. As the announcing team reminds the audience, Marcello Ricci and Giovanni Bruno are still training in EWA, which is where Gandalfini also spent time and the improvement shows in his wrestling. Koller and Mallory do gain the upper hand eventually to beat Gandalfini down and the hot tag to Champagne Lover does turn things momentarily around, but Lover doesn't look all that interested in this match and instead force-tags Gandalfini in to work the rest of it and take the inevitable fall once Mallory connects with a Springbok Ram. Winners: The Outcasts Double Dutch are backstage, carrying the NGW Cruiserweight Tag Team titles. w The Czars vs Konrad Mäkinen and The Johanssons (with Signe Lytjohan) The Russian bruisers seem to really be facing some serious opposition in the face of their Scandinavian opponents, especially the hulking NGW Heavyweight Tag Team champions. Bam Bam and Hercules tip the scales in their team's favor, even against Khoklov once they're able to team up against him. Mäkinen however makes a poor call when he decides to take the Moscow Mauler to the mat for a stretch and pays for it by taking a Moscow Lariat that puts him down for the three count. Winners: The Czars Nelson Frye comes down to the ring and grabs a mic before rolling in. Fans roar in approval of Frye's scathing promo and not long after, Edward Cornell comes out at the top of the entrance ramp. "The Bratva Bruiser" Dovydas Vidmar vs "Awesome" Wade Orson After pinning him twice in multi man matches, Wade Orson finally gets to go one on one against Dovydas Vidmar in the episode's main event match. Despite some grappling attempts from Orson, the match is mainly a striking contest between Vidmar's brutish brawling and Orson's crisp, precise strikes. The match is pretty even until just after the ten minute mark, past which Orson begins to slowly gain the upper hand. Vidmar barely avoids getting hit with the Bounce Back [kip up DDT] by shoving Orson onto referee Garry Garret and in the brief window of opportunity he's given, he is able to smash the vodka bottle he brings with him to the ring onto Orson's head to steal the win in the finish. Winner: Dovydas Vidmar Show Rating:

Not really playing up the comedy aspect of their animal-inspired masks, this is a pretty competitive match but with the pretty Lucia Valencia nearby, Flamenco Fabuloso sooner or later turns his attention to her and Zebra Man is able to win the fight.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Zebra Man</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="jI4u1Uy.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jI4u1Uy.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FttPJJ7.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FttPJJ7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Payaso Jr (2-0) vs Crazy Miguel (0-0)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Crazy Miguel's wacky character may have gotten over north of the border as a loco luchador, but the man under the mask really does have a flair for comedy and still makes it work in front of a Mexican crowd. It does help that his particular brand of humor seems to mesh perfectly with Payaso's and the match quickly turns into an impromptu comedy competition, complete with the fighters' life bars draining depending on how hard the audience laughs with their opponent's joke. It's a close contest, but Crazy Miguel barely edges it with a surreal comeback to one Payaso's puns to get the win.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Crazy Miguel</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="7nXiDsK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7nXiDsK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="8cri1JW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8cri1JW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Another promo/PSA airs next, this time by Ángel De México.

Judging by fan reaction, he isn't exaggerating either, because he gets cheered harder than El Bandido even.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><img alt="sma3Die.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sma3Die.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="XDInPIM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/XDInPIM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Title match for the Campeónato de Histórico EMLL</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="V3KisHB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/V3KisHB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="XJ4Zi5z.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/XJ4Zi5z.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> El Mítico Jr (2-0) © vs Trickster (1-1)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Another luchador who hasn't wrestled for a while, Mítico returns to defend the Campeónato de Histórico EMLL and despite his challenger's recent ups and downs, Trickster proves to be a dangerous opponent thanks to both his technical prowess and his sneaky tricks. Mítico is all fire and storms round one to get the first fall and while Trickster almost takes round two, Mítico makes a big comeback and turns things around to also win round two and thus the match.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: El Mítico Jr </strong></p><p><strong> El Mítico Jr makes defence number 4 of his Campeónato de Histórico EMLL title</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="90ZRUAI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/90ZRUAI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="0aK5rFr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0aK5rFr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Demon King (0-2) vs La Estrella (1-1)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Much like with his stunt highlight reel from last month, Estrella really pulls out all the stops and hits some amazing aerial offense to turn up the heat. Demon King is all to happy to play along as a loss here would mean he'd be ousted from EMLL so the two luchadors provide a show stealing performance for three dramatic rounds. Demon King wins the first fall to a mixed reaction as apparently Estrella's skills have won him a part of the audience over and that plays into the Hollywood Luchador making it to fall number two. The tie breaker round is as even as they come, but Demon King barely edges it just seconds before the time limit.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Demon King</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="cJx6orc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cJx6orc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CN2D8Vs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CN2D8Vs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="Yiz66EE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Yiz66EE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Death's Head (1-1) vs Mascara Delfin (0-2) (with Carolina)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Death's Head is a big, menacing rudo and his power-based offense is a sight to behold in EMLL's high flying roster. This brute force earns him the first fall but apparently also makes him a bit too cocky, which allows Mascara Delfin to make a comeback and win round two. The upset gets Death's Head enraged as we go into the third and final fall, with Mascara Delfin exploiting his opponent's emotional outrage and recklessness to score a big underdog victory.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Mascara Delfin</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="hs0PwOv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hs0PwOv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6RV66V0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6RV66V0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Scorpion (1-1) vs Snake King (1-1)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Two skilled and popular luchadors meet in this match coming from completely opposite points; Scorpion is fresh from saving his EMLL career after two consecutive losses, while Snake King from a winning streak that earned him a title shot for the Campeónato de Mundo EMLL, only for Ángel De México to once again defeat him. The match and announcers play up that story and Scorpion fights full of confidence to take the first round. Instead of that lighting a fire under Snake King, it seems to sap his self confidence instead and the match ends at two-nil in favor of Scorpion, who seals the deal with a devastating Scorp Bomb.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Scorpion</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="utTMmtw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/utTMmtw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="lpm1WCl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lpm1WCl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> DeCipher (2-0) vs Guerrero Muerto (1-1)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> The first show this year to not feature a title match for the Campeónato de Mundo EMLL in the main event, instead this one sees Guerrero Muerto shine as the calaca come to life on Dia de los Muertos. Between that and his opponent looking like a Batman villain rip-off, the main event feels like a comic book come to life and fans clearly enjoy the spectacle even if no title is on the line. Decipher smartly exploits the pressure his opponents seems to be under given the gravity of the occasion, but Muerto just isn't losing tonight; he takes shot after shot to rebound, until he eventually just no-sells DeCipher's offense as the crowd goes wild for the finale and his Graveyard Shift.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Guerrero Muerto</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mwL0z0W.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mwL0z0W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p>

CTUC Back By Demand card Sun W2 February 2016 Main Event Tables match for the CTUC Nation of Violence title "The Prodigal Punk" Mikey Malice © vs "The Ghetto Cowboy" Tyrell Starr Semi Main Event Hardcore Grudge match "The Woodsman" Kurtis Payne vs El Chupacabra Simba the Tribal Warrior vs Frankie Petruzzi Minnesota Street Fight match Powerhead vs Wrath Opening Contest The Bonechillers (Skullmagedon & Skullsy) vs Club Exotico (Exotico Muerte & Satanico)

Glad to finally have you here, sir. Dreams do come true. Not because of the silliness, comedy and hot chicks? The skulls were a dead giveaway, but the other two also make sense now... If it wasn't obvious already, I fully intend to get El Chupacabra over as the RockVerse's version of the Grapple Goblin Grapple Goblin! Given your recent WS_X diary, I saw that coming from a mile away Appreciate the promotion! Since when was the bolded part important to Vince? Cassandro is my go-to example for an exotico, maybe Pimpinela Escarlata is slowly getting up there too, so that was my idea in portraying Carlotta anyway. Satanico was so obvious I was thinking of a proper rebrand as Satanico Pandemonium. The facepaint on Muertos is wonderful indeed, I think the visual begs for a feud with the Skulls and I should probably come up with something for Dia de los Muertos.

I was aiming for willr0ck, given he likes my hardcore feds and he made the mod, but figured you'd like it too. Anyone else is a bonus, so get that word out I legit considered intergender when I set up the fed just so I could justify bringing Lust in. Well, few other ladies too, but mainly Lust. New Horror Extreme is already known for their mixed roster, so it felt too much of a rip-off and there's already the story of LeftCoast beginning as a NHEW tribute/ripoff. LeftCoast is men's only though, so I might land in the middle with a Women's Division once my finances can support it.

Calvin: So, Chi-Town Urban Combat put on it's debut show, titled "Battle Lines" and I'm here with Jerry to review the glorious mess that thing was... Jerry: You know, with a title like this you'd expect them to declare war on the other two major hardcore promotions, but I don't see that happening any time soon... I'm not sure it's actually possible anytime soon! Calvin: Alright, let's take it from the top now, the company would have you believe they're based in Chigago but the show actually took place in Ravenwood, Missouri... Jerry: Real pro wrestling hotspot, Ravenwood... Calvin: ...and to be precise, the venue was the town's social center, Farmer Jep's... Jerry: Is that what it sounds like? Calvin: It is exactly what it sounds like, it's a barn and from what I'm reading here it is capable of seating 450 people for a wrestling show... Jerry: Not that they sold out the show... Calvin: That would have been a sight to see, Jerry, given that Ravenwood's total population is 447! Jerry: Then they could have bragged about selling out the entire town! Seriously though, what was the attendance? Calvin: 363 tickets and a little less than 2.500 viewers on TV, including the two of us. w Jerry: So the show kicks off with two faces I never expected to see, first off is the funkiest cat around, from Planet Funk... Calvin: ...which is probably stuck in a '70s time loop... Jerry: ...probably, I'm guessing they're trying to tap into that Motown demographic, it's Dr. Funkenstein! Calvin: And he's up against "The Sicilian" Frankie Petruzzi, who is the most stereotypical Italian mobster you could think of, and then some. He's also got a nameless but very pretty lady accompanying him to the ring, who is not introduced... Jerry: But we all know is Summer Whitley Calvin: I felt poorly for Summer, you'd think the Missouri crowds would really hate her snobbish character but it's just not working. Jerry: It did work for her client though, because it won him the match. Calvin: And because it drew attention away from what was happening in that ring. Jerry: Yeah the story is Dr. Funkenstein is all energetic, gets some offense going, pauses to bust a move... Calvin: Gotta get that crowd going in the opener! Jerry: Petruzzi gets a chance to brawl back, Funkenstein makes a comeback but Summer Whitley gets on the apron to distract him, he kisses her, crowd goes wild, Petruzzi grabs him, hits his finisher... Calvin: ...which he calls the Lasagna Drop, by the way... Jerry: ...one two three, Petruzzi wins a... eh, just under two star match, I'd say. Calvin: And we move on to one of my personal favourites of the night... w Jerry: Good Lord... Calvin: I mean it's obvious this is gonna be for shits and giggles, because out comes Skullmageddon the Annihilator and he's dragging his very own little mini-me in Skullsy the Skatertron... Jerry: Ugh, those names are so over the top... Calvin: So for those of you who don't know what these two are all about, Skullmageddon the Annihilator claims he's from an alternate timeline... Jerry: What?! Calvin: That's right and in that alternate universe he's conquered all of his opponents, so he crossed over to ours to hit the reset button and seek out competition. Jerry: This is so crazy, I'm loving it. Calvin: And Skullsy, who is actually his real life younger brother, is supposed to be his young incompetent self in this timeline... Jerry: So it's like his future self came back and met his past self Calvin: And they're not shy about this mess either, they've made him an all out 80s teenager into skateboarding, arcades and all things totally radical, dude! Jerry: He's basically Michaelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Calvin: And then his opponent comes out and it's Carlotta the exotico! Jerry: You know those Misourri peeps love their gay and transgender folks Calvin: So the match is an absolute dumpster fire, Skullmageddon screams at his miniature self to get in there and destroy this clown, Carlotta works the crowd with some latin dancing and Skullsy thinks it's a dance off, so he busts out the b-boy moves! Jerry: At this point, I should point out their referee is under a blue luchador mask, which makes this even weirder. Calvin: I'm not sure you can call this wrestling but it was hella entertaining so I'm gonna give it just over one star. Jerry: The idea is the dance-off leads to Carlotta rolling up Skullsy for the pin, so Skullmageddon loses it and attacks Skullsy, then Carlotta tries to pull him away and Skullmageddon slaps Carlotta around... Calvin: ...which should be getting boos, but the good people of Ravenwood, Missouri clearly decided Skullmageddon is the face and Carlotta is the heel... Jerry: And out comes the cavalry to save Carlotta, it's Exotico Muerte and Satanico! Boy I'm glad they weren't announced, don't think those fans would pop for anyone named "Satanico" Calvin: There's a lot of lucha libre in this;the comedy, the referee, the exoticos... Jerry: The fact that there's three exoticos... you'd think they'd introduce a trios title next. Calvin: What they did introduce was the Seven Deadly Sins, or at least three of them. Gluttony, Sloth and Wrath were backstage with Tiffany Poe, now there's a lot to break down here... Jerry: The Seven Deadly Sins are a group of, you guessed it, seven friends in the indy circuit and word has it their chosen sin is actually the exact oposite of their off camera character, which is so smarky hipster ironic I could die. Calvin: So here we've got just three of the seven and can we take a moment to address how massive Wrath is? Jerry: He is a true giant and I loved the subtle hinting of him being somewhat overprotective of Tiffany Poe... Calvin: Oh yeah, another PWU manager on the show. I figured her conservatively dressed, doe eyed damsel in distress character would only fly in the smarky environment of PWU but she really nailed it in Chi-Town as well, that teaming with Wrath looks like it's got a lot of mileage in it... Jerry: So the four of them find a big bunch of flowers with a card wishing them good luck for ther upcoming titles match against Killboy Powerhead and it's signed "Vanity"... Calvin: And the camera barely catches sight of Ugly Bob peeking from a corner, so either he's Vanity or he's jealous of Vanity, ergo Envy. That was next level stuff. Jerry: I loved the part where Tiffany smelled the flowers and was about to sneeze... Calvin: And Wrath destroyed those flowers! Jerry: For attacking Tiffany, that was hilarious. Calvin: And it got him across as being overly protective of her. w Calvin: Tag team titles match next, or Deadly Duo, as they call them... Jerry: Love those little chairs on the sides, nice touch. Calvin: So Killboy Powerhead is apparently made of Killboy, surprise... and Powerhead! That's two separate people, a spot monkey and a big powerhouse dude who is rocking, and I do mean rocking that Guile flat top! Jerry: Meanwhile the Two Deadly Sins are rocking Killboy in the ring, mainly Gluttony who is... I mean, the dude is ripped to shreds, you can see the irony there. Sloth is the laziest bastard you've ever seen, I'd say he's a mix of ECW Raven and AEW Orange Cassidy... oops, I just broke the fourth wall! Calvin: At least the Sins did a bit of wrestling, Killboy Powerhead were sloppy as hell, it's a miracle no one got injured in that match. And it was a First Blood match by the way, people were trying real hard to bust each other open! Jerry: Killboy took a dive that ended up with him going through a table and Powerhead made the mistake of messing with Tiffany Poe... Calvin: Which of course brought out Wrath who hit a spinebuster onto a folding chair to destroy Powerhead... it's a good thing this was a First Blood match, because for the love of me I could never imagine how they'd expect us to believe the referee never saw a legitimate giant interfering in the match. Jerry: So Gluttony & Sloth are the first ever CTUC Deadly Duo and rightfully so because their opponents were so botchy it hurt watching them... That should take the match to just under two stars. Calvin: And in case you forgot this is supposed to be a harcore show, here's a bloodbath to remind you! Jerry: Alright so Kurtis Payne... Big dude in a flannel shirt, half face mask and obsessed with a lumberjack axe he brings to the ring like he's the president of the Abyss/Mick Foley fan club... I bet he's given it a name too. Calvin: And that's not the craziest thing in that match, because his opponent is none other than Albert L. friggin' Panzram! Jerry: I think it's safe to say Panzram has done time in every jail across the States by this point... New Horror wouldn't have him, LeftCoast wouldn't have him, no other promotion wouldn't have him because he's not allowed to leave the country... but Chi-Town had him wrestle in their debut show. Man... Calvin: I hope they wanted to make a statement, not push him long term because the man is a walking liability. You could tell his head wasn't fully in that match. Jerry: As a matter of fact, Calvin, he was fired immediately after the show. Calvin: I am not surprised. Jerry: But he never made it to the hotel, because he was arrested on the way for DUI... Calvin: Still not surprised... Jerry: He has also been charged for drug posession, specifically heroin and cocaine. Calvin: Alright, now I'm a little impressed. Jerry: That would explain why he agreed to meet the working end of that axe with his skull. Cringe, man, I shudder to recall it... Calvin: It was exactly what you'd expect from these two, a garbage deathmatch stuntshow and at least with Payne winning, Panzram's antics won't be of much impact now. If you factor in Payne taking that buzzsaw blade shot, I'd say this was a solid two start spectacle. But wait! There's more! Jerry: Bwahahahaha, I had forgotten all about this! Calvin: Oh Jerry... how could you have forgotten about... EL CHUPACABRA? Jerry: Rawrrrr! Calvin: This guy...thing, attacked Payne after the match and almost bit off part of his face, I'm guessing they're setting up Payne's next match with this angle. Jerry: And introducing another hearty dose of Mexico to the good people of the Mid West. Calvin: What the good people of the Mid West are already very familiar with though is the Lawd... Jerry: Praise da Lawd! Calvin: Chi-Town went high risk with this trio... so it's Chris Moxley, Orcus and Tiffany Church playing a group of religious fanatics that we learn is called the Chi-Church Cult and that's a real tongue twister... as if that wasn't enough, it seems Moxley and Church need to work on their timing because they kept talking on top of each other. Good thing Orcus was silent, doing his best to look menacing. Jerry: This was to introduce the group and hype up the next match, in which Orcus would be fighting for the CHUC Bucket of Blood title against The Shocker! Calvin: Not the Shockmaster, the Shocker! With an exclamation point at the end. w Jerry: See Calvin, between this match, the promo and the Panzram mess, no wonder I forgot about... EL CHUPACABRA! Calvin: Yeah this was so painful to watch I wish I could bleach my eyes... And you know, I don't see why they had to make this one a title match when clearly Payne and Panzram tore the house down just before this match. Jerry: I'm willing to guess because Panzram was a liability... Also because this was a Barb Wire match, so it fit the title's gimmick. There were buckets of blood indeed. Calvin: Buckets. Jerry: Between all that blood, the religious undertones of Orcus and the profanity you could hear from the Shocker!... Calvin: Yeah he wasn't shy either, the TV microphones picked up a lot of it! Jerry: It was a mess, really. Scarlett Church did everyone a favour by interfering to stop it. Orcus is the CTUC Bucket of Blood champion after a... one and a half star match? Calvin: Yeah between them both gassing out and the match having zero psychology... I mean, The Shocker! took an insane bump, he got thrown onto the wire and got himself all tangled up in it, but that's not gonna do the match any graces besides the momentary shock... plus Orcus was real sloppy here... one and a half sounds right. Jerry: And we're down to the main event, a Ladder match for the CTUC Nation of Violence title between Mikey Malice... Calvin: I should have brought my Kanye rip-off shades for this. Jerry: And straight outta the 80s, from pro wrestling's motherland of Parts Unknown... Simba the Tribal Warrior! Calvin: I don't know which is worse, Mikey Malice being the obnoxious Mikey Malice or Simba's gimmick still being a thing... Jerry: I think the worse is that these two are in the main event, fighting for the top title, Calvin... Calvin: It's like a "whoever wins, we lose" scenario... Jerry: Exactly. You wanna walk our audience through this? Calvin: It was... terrible, but I think it was also the match that had the loudest fan reaction alongside the Payne-Panzram bloodbath. You know, in the "any reaction is a good reaction" kind of way I'd say this was a two star match, tops, complete with the finish of Simba getting knocked off the ladder and through a table so Malice could unhook the title. Jerry: What a world we live in, in which Mikey Malice headlines a show and wins a title... Calvin: That is why Tyrell Starr was here to save the day for people like you, Jerry... Jerry: Yeah it looks like Starr will be the first challenger for the title, because he came out to say so and Malice attacked him to end the show. Also, "Ghetto Cowboy"? What the hell? Calvin: Starr was born and raised in Hollywood but was sent off to live with his grandma in order to keep him away from the gangs... hence the Ghetto Cowboy became a thing! Jerry: He looks like a blinged-out cowboy Calvin: Talks like one too! Jerry: Yeah, that promo... as soon as I heard him try to talk all gangsta, but with a Texan drawl... I'm not sure if I want them to give him more time on the mic or never allow him to hold a live mic ever again. Calvin: Well, that title match isn't going to promote itself and Malice is no star on the mic, so you better believe Tyrell Starr is cutting another promo next show. Jerry: Right, next Chi-Town Urban Combat show is scheduled for exactly one month later and called "Back by Demand", I know I never demanded a second show. Calvin: Leave us a note in the comment section, folks, let us know what you thought of this mess and whether we should continue to cover it!

[Excerpt from the Calvin and Jerry podcast] Calvin: So Jerry, check this out; New Horror Extreme Wrestling made it in the East Coast, then LeftCoast Ultraviolence opened shop in California... Jerry: Originally as a tribute, before of course we're back to East versus West... Calvin: But now we have a new player in the MID West! Jerry: Oh God... Is there even a market for this venture? I mean, Detroit may have been a better choice... Calvin: They call themselves "The Misfits of the Midwest" Jerry: I've heard worse... Actually, that's kinda catchy Calvin: They have announced a show for the second Sunday of January guess what... It's gonna be televised! Jerry: Oh man, now we've gotta see it! I love a bit of indy wrestlecrap if it's done right. Calvin: It's on CTV USA Mid West, so it's gonna take some effort but we'll be watching and all our listeners can expect an extensive breakdown in our following podcast!

I can tell you're having a ton of fun with this save/diary. Once again, PJ Black stole the show for me, I really like where his character is headed.

It was more of a cameo to provide Jester with a (temporary) ally before House of Horrors was formed.

Hotter than Hell 2013 Hotter than Hell Held on Friday, Week 4 of August 2013 Venue: Kashar Arena, Tirana, Albania, Europe Attendance: 9.290, Buyrate: 0.11 (59.832 buyers), Shown on Euro Your Demand PPV Steve Smith and Fink Finkleton welcome viewers to the show, with Lawrence Young's absence explained as him having been moved to EWA to help the broadcasting team there. The duo runs down the show card for tonight and also brings up that the main event of Etsuko versus Rodriguez will not be refereed by Garry Garret, but NGW's first ever female referee and a former pro wrestler herself, Eva Berlin. NGW Open Collective titles match Ripper LeStat, Menace & Paolo Gandalfini vs Philip Cooper & The Foreign Legion The three challengers may be Cruiserweights, but they have speed and energy on their side, as well as the tag team experience of the DuPont brothers and this makes for a pretty open-ended contest to kick off the show. Menace proves a bit too slow for the opposition, Cooper especially, while Gandalfini puts up some good wrestling before the joint efforts of the DuPonts wear him out. It's Ripper LeStat who saves the game for his team by throwing Cooper off balance onto the DuPonts, who are launched off the apron and eliminated while Cooper is hit with a Vlad's Impaler for the pin. Winners: Ripper LeStat, Menace & Paolo Gandalfini Ripper LeStat, Menace & Paolo Gandalfini make defence number 1 of their NGW Open Collective titles. Intergender Tag Team match Champagne Lover & Jeri Behr vs Robert Howard & Geena the Warrior Princess Geena starts the match with a head full of steam and takes the fight to her opponent, it only takes a small miscalculation though for Behr to evade and gain control of the match. Despite her solid offense, once she and Champagne Lover try to work together, their timing is all over the place and Geena catches Lover with a mule kick square to the jaw that creates an opening for her to tag in the Louisiana Pitbulll. Howard takes the ring by storm and focuses his attacks on Lover, but once he signals he's going for the Chaos Theory, Lover desperately rakes the eyes to interrupt the execution and hit a Lover Stunner that wins the match for his team. Winners: Champagne Lover & Jeri Behr, by pinfall after using underhanded tactics. Eight Man Tag Team match w The Czars vs Sebastian Koller, Wade Orson and The Johanssons (with Viper McKenna & Signe Lytjohan) Things get crowded in and around the ring with this match, which sees Koller and Orson team up with the Johanssons against the Czars. Though Bam Bam and Hercules are not members of the Outcasts, they have beaten the Ivanoffs at Starmageddon to retain the titles and that leads to some heavy blows traded between the two teams, as well as some hoss fight sequences between the brothers and Marat Khoklov. It is the power the Norwegian brothers bring that helps balance out the presence of the Moscow Mauler and once again, Orson is able to surprise Vidmar with his kip up DDT finisher and score the surprise pin for the win. Winners: Sebastian Koller, Wade Orson and The Johanssons, by pinfall NGW Cruiserweight title match Christopher Lister © vs John Silver First of the night's three singles title matches and one hotly anticipated by fans of the League of Heroes, as the legendary mask of Captain Hero is on the line alongside the NGW Cruiserweight title. John Silver seems to be taking it slow and trying to get inside his opponent's head, the match off to a complicated start as the two trade holds in some intricate chain wrestling sequences. Lister breaks up the opening stalemate with a slick suplex onto his opponent for a two count, then keeps things on the mat with submission holds until Silver gets to the ropes for the break. With Silver reeling, Lister hits the ropes to get some aerial offense going and the match picks up in pace as Silver tries to respond in kind. An attempt at a Kanobi Kutter is countered when Silver shoves Lister away before he can complete the move, but when he goes for the Silversault a few minutes later he comes up empty as Lister rolls away to avoid it. From there, Lister hits a shooting star press for a two count, before finally getting the Kanobi Kutter that keeps Silver down long enough for the pin. Winner: Christopher Lister, by pinfall Christopher Lister makes defence number 2 of his NGW Cruiserweight title. Once the match is over, Nelson Frye and Adam Matravers hit the ring to celebrate their ally's victory and lift him up on their shoulders. Fans cheer and Lister holds the title belt up high while Frye and Matravers carry him back triumphantly. NGW Heavyweight title match "The Alpha Male" Edward Cornell © vs Roy Edison Cornell and Edison shake hands at the start of the match in a show of sportsmanship and begin circling the ring as they size up each other. From the opening shoots for each other's limbs, the evasions and reversals, it is clear these two train together and know each other extremely well. Cornell manages to hit a few chops and top it off with a close range lariat for a two count, then goes for the Black Lightning Bomb already, a move the announcers comment as disrespectful to be used so early. Edison not only escapes, but rolls through to end up in control of Cornell's leg as he applies a knee lock. Screaming in pain, Cornell struggles and eventually makes it to the ropes, the look on his face showing he's both surprised and frustrated by his opponent. Edison continues to press on and seems to be targeting Cornell's arm, a tactic that gets a split reaction from the commentary team: Smith sees it as Edison chasing the armbar, while Finkleton insists Edison should continue to wear down Cornell's leg and specifically the knee he damaged with that knee lock. Tension builds up and Edison finally manages to slap on the armbar, but before he can fully lock it in, Cornell rolls over and puts Edison in a pinning predicament as a counter. Garry Garret drops down for the count and out of his sight, Cornell puts his legs on the ropes around the count of two to secure the situation and prevent Edison from getting a shoulder up. Winner: Edward Cornell, by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage Edward Cornell makes defence number 1 of his NGW Heavyweight title NGW Women's title match "The Gothic Grappler" Fusae Etsuko © vs Joanne "J-Ro" Rodriguez Etsuko's gloomy entrance and persona is a stark contrast to the energetic ways and optimistic music of Rodriguez, a contrast that also translates into the ring as they lock up in a clash built around their similarities wrestling in Burning Hammer of the Wrestling Godesses as well as their differences. Everything one does, the other feeds off of it and this intangible chemistry really takes the match to the next level, as if it wasn't exceptional already. Well aware of the situation, J-Ro and Etsuko pace themselves to really build this up slow and push each other to the limit while keeping fans engaged in a titanic struggle of will and skill. Etsuko's stiff strikes are answered by Rodriguez in kind and the strong style exchange of blows sees no definitive winner, so Etsuko switches to technical wrestling, a potent mix of slams, suplexes and submission holds. Rodriguez shows amazing resilience in surviving everything Etsuko throws at her, but never manages to hit more than a couple of high flying offensive maneuvers before Etsuko shuts her down and resumes the attack. The stalemate forces both to pull off bigger and bigger moves, with Rodriguez being one of the few people ever to kick out of the Darkness Falls and Etsuko escaping a pin after she's hit with a J-Rocker, until Etsuko manages to put her challenger in the Lullaby. Rodriguez fights the hold for almost a full minute before she's able to get a foot on the ropes, but Etsuko is so caught up in the moment she never pays attention to the referee's count. Either that or, according to Fink Finkleton, she did it on purpose, because while the DQ means the victory goes to J-Ro, the title stays with Etsuko. Winner: Joanne Rodriguez, by disqualification Show Rating:

War for Territory #36 War for Territory #36 Saturday, Week 2 December, 2020 Live from the Centerpiece Bridge, SC The show began with a slick promo from the Piledriver champion, in which he bragged about defeating the odds of that triple threat match at Thanksbeating. Slick's delivery really struck gold here and fans were reaching nuclear levels already, with chants of "Xavi saved it" and "Paper champion" echoing across the Centerpiece Brige. w Jules Knight vs Nate DeMarcus (with Cheerleader Candy) Nate DeMarcus entered the opening contest with a new face by his side, announced as Cheerleader Candy. For all her good looks and charisma though, she just didn't work as DeMarcus' arm candy and ringside supporter, despite getting a loud reaction from the fans. Fortunately, DeMarcus balanced that out with his own individual skill and great chemistry against Knight, including some pretty hot spots that referenced issues like race and police brutality, before a Snap Tackle put the masked lawman down for the count. Winner: Nate DeMarcus, by pinfall Logan Diaz & The Southern Stars vs James Diaz & The Mid Atlantic Express This six man tag intertwined the family feud of the Diaz cousins with that of the Southern Stars and the Mid Atlantic Express over the tag team titles. As expected, the match was pretty intense and emotions quickly ran wild, leading to referee Alvin Lavin losing control as things broke down, to the point where he had to call for the bell and stop the match. Result: Referee stoppage Laura Flame cut a promo next, talking about facing Lora Washington for the Piledriver Women's title. Flame praised the champion and wished her good luck in her scheduled match against Paige Croft for the COTT Women's title, saying she'd be all to happy to face not just the promotional champion, but the champion of the entire alliance. COTT Women's title match Paige Croft © vs Lora Washington Croft was making her first title defense here and Washington looked all to eager to reclaim the title she used to hold in the past. This led to a fast paced and pretty intense match, with both competitors showing a lot of hunger for the win. As the hometown fighter, Washington had fans on her side although Croft did win a few over by the time the match was through and forcing the Piledriver Women's champion to tap out to her Memphis Deathlock certainly established her as a credible title holder. Winner: Paige Croft, by submission Paige Croft makes defense number 1 of her COTT Women's title Julius Moor, Jebediah, Charger Siaki and Reaper just poured out of the backstage area already engaged in a wild brawl that spilled down to ringside, although no match did officially happen. Security rushed in only to be tossed aside and the brawl was simply directed away from the ring so the show could continue despite "let them fight" chants. Masked Patriot & Robbie Wright vs Xavi Ferrera & Ernest Youngman Patriot and Wright were given a chance here to get revenge for Ferrera's meddling in their title match at Thanksbeating and they did just that, focusing their offence on the Puerto Rican athlete as they vented their frustration. However this did mean that Ferrera's old PSW acquaintance was pretty fresh and unharmed by the time he got the hot tag. Youngman knocked Patriot off the apron and unleashed a sequence of moves onto Wright, before rolling him up with some extra leverage from the ropes to secure the shady pin. Winners: Xavi Ferrera & Ernest Youngman, by pinfall after illegally using the ropes for leverage Show Rating:

Back to the Future, Monday Week 4 of August 2013 NGW Back to the Future (Weekly TV show) Held on Monday, Week 4 of August 2013 Venue: Assebroek Courts, Bruges, Belgium, Europe Attendance: 4.066, Ratings: 0.73 (553.820 viewers), Shown on Continental Sports X1 The show begins with some backstage footage of The League of Heroes talking among themselves when John Silver walks by. Menace vs Kalvin Addams Essentially a squash match, Menace throws Kalvin around and slams him repeatedly to the mat for the bigger part of the bout. The best Kalvin can do is use his ring wits and speed to dodge his big, plodding opponent, but without his brother by his side, he can never really get any offense going and Menace gets the win after flattening him out with an Ultimate Rejection. Winner: Menace Backstage, Signe Lytjohan is with the Johansson brothers. Christopher Lister & Shiro Akuma vs Adam Matravers & Leon Harrison w The Czars vs The Outcasts (with Viper McKenna) Following last week's backstage attack, the Outcasts team up to face the Czars and the match itself is quite exciting, unlike what one might expect from such a crowded situation. Of course, that is largely thanks to Marat Khoklov, who clears the ring as he sends bodies flying out, meaning the two groups fight outside the ring just as much as they wrestle inside it. McKenna tips the odds in her team's favour when she steals Vidmar's vodka bottle to prevent him from smashing it onto someone's head and Orson completes the upset when he kips up to grab a confused Vidmar for his Bounce Back finisher. Winners: The Outcasts Geena the Warrior Princess vs Joanne "J-Ro" Rodriguez A match that could headline a pay per view is yet taking place on free TV and both women pull out all the stops to defeat each other. Geena's wild savage style is an interesting contrast to the graceful grappling and high flying of Rodriguez, yet they both maintain a fast pace to keep the flow of the match going and the excitement always above a certain level. The big finish comes after the fifteen minute mark of this epic clash, with Geena slingshotting herself into the ring for the Amazon Plunge, only for Rodriguez to catch her head mid-air and slam it down to the mat with a J-Rocker. Winner: Joanne Rodriguez Before Rodriguez can savour her win or recover from an exhausting clash against the hard hitting Warrior Princess, Fusae Etsuko runs down to the ring and hits her with a flurry of stiff kicks! The show goes off the air with Rodriguez caught in the Lullaby and announcers wondering if this is what we're up for this Friday at Hotter than Hell. Show Rating:

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #B0E0E6; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> DIW Violent Delight Date: Friday, Week 1 of March 2016 Location: Fuster Hall, Eastern Australia Attendance: 631 Tombstone opens the show as he comes to the ring, his back still heavily bandaged from the match he had at Sucker Punch. Grabbing a mic, he enters the ring and calls for his music to stop. Tombstone: "Last Saturday, I went to war with the Comedian in this very ring and let me tell you, he did not hold back. There is a reason why the Comedian is Australia's hardcore icon... but there's also a reason why I'm the DIW Champion... and that reason is because I beat him! That's right, I beat the hardcore icon in a match that was as hardcore as you can get! The Comedian may have not won that match or my title, but he won my respect, so Comedian... come on out here so I can congratulate you in person." The Comedian, battered and bandaged as well, comes out and joins Tombstone in the ring. Despite the finish of their match where Comedian was choking on glass shards, he is badass enough to still be smoking tonight. Comedian: "You're cool. Worthy champ." The two men shake hands... ...but before fans can cheer them both, The Barracudas storm the ring to attack! Between having the element of surprise and numbers on their side, the attack is short, brutal and in favor of the ex-cons. Once over, Vaughan picks up the DIW Championship belt and raises it high in the air, before dropping it on the fallen body of Tombstone. Voice: "Enough!" Big Jim Teasdale apparently has had enough and dropped his announcers' headset to grab a mic and speak up. BJT: "If you think you're gonna be rewarded for this with a title shot, you're dead wrong, Vaughan... But I'm gonna give you lads a championship-level beating alright, because in tonight's main event it's gonna be the three of you... against the DIW Tag Team champions the Bad Truckers and the new DIW Hardcore champion, Mayhem Mulhoney!" w Rob Edwards vs Blaze Maximum (with Miss Cerizabeth) The opening contest sees Rob Edwards test his slick MMA skills against the wild brawling of Blaze Maximum. Though the in-ring action is actually pretty decent, fans have yet to warm up to Edwards and Maximum unceremoniously beats him after a Maximum Overdrive while Miss Cerizabeth is cheering him on from ringside. Winner: Blaze Maximum After the match is over, Miss Cerizabeth grabs a mic and joins Blaze Maximum in the ring to celebrate. Cerizabeth: "Not too many ladies and certainly not real gentlemen, your winner of the match, my client, Blaze Maximum!" Blaze: "I hear a lot o' people saying Blaze Maximum's done after he lost in the tournament finals... and they're right! I'm done wasting my talent on anything but the top prize in this company! See, I essentially just beat a miniature Tombstone and that means I can beat the actual Tombstone just as easy... Just you wait!" Dumfrey Pinn comes out of the curtain and pauses to motion his lackeys to follow out after him. Pinn Enterprises Ltd join him in full force, including Lori and the group gets in the ring with McMiller, Mueller, Sturt and Dobberly hitting the ringposts to pose while Pinn paces in the middle of the ring with a mic in hand. Pinn: "Lately, things haven't been going well for Pinn Enterprises Ltd... It's already March and that means the quarterly reports are coming up soon... So far it feels like they're gonna be full of losses, which means I should do what every business man would do and that's slash expenses... You four... consider tonight your HR evaluation. Show me you're worth my money or face the chopping block!" Pinn drops the mic and leaves the ring, shouting "bring 'em out" as he returns to the locker room area. Pinn Enterprises Ltd (with Lori) vs Australian Devil, East Coast Panther, Lucas Pobb and Milton Hittlespitz The new face in the mix is Lucas Pobb, a local high flyer who joins the rest of DIW's daredevils against Pinn's four rugged brawlers. Unsurprisingly, Pobb and his unpolished style gets a ton of static from the crowd but at least the chaos of the match is enough to somehow swallow it up, alongside McMiller's age limiting what he can do in the ring. Pinn Enterprises use anything they can get their hands on as a weapon, their opponents hit all sorts of crazy dives and stunts while Hittlespitz is probably the only one who combines them both, stealing the spotlight when he hits a suicide plancha to the outside while holding a chair for maximum impact. Despite the smaller men's best efforts though, Dobberly gets to put Pobb in the Full Nelson and the rookie immediately taps out to throw the match.

Australian Devil stumbles onto the big frame of Satan's Spawn though, while Hell's Jester cuts off his retreat. Guru: "I'm going to give you one last chance... One choice... The Ritual of Ravaging is coming... will you be one of the faithful to perform it... or will you be the sacrifice to seal it?" Australian Devil hesitates for a moment, but then sheepishly follows House of Horrors to the backstage. w The Barracudas vs Mayhem Mulhoney & The Bad Truckers (with ??) Mulhoney and the Truckers are led to the ring by a new face in DIW, a stuck up but stunning woman with asian features yet dark polynesian skin tone. The Barracudas are in control of this crazy brawl from early on, ganging up on the legal man and sneaking in blows like a well-oiled machine. The woman's guidance though seems to enhance the Truckers' ability to work together as a team and they begin to push back, before the match inevitably collapses into a free for all brawl. The chaos actually seems to favor the Truckers, who team up to face the big man Vaughan while Mulhoney's recklessness allows him to take on both Rourke and Case, creating some separation just long enough for him to hit the latter with a Cradle Powerslam and get the three count.

Máscara Delfín makes his comeback and musters the power of the sea in order to hit the Delfinisher, but that never happens as Payaso Jr pulls off a big C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER to interrupt his opponent's finish sequence with a Clown Cradle of his own.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Payaso Jr.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="M4SOg7D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M4SOg7D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="hs0PwOv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hs0PwOv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="XJ4Zi5z.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/XJ4Zi5z.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Scorpion (0-2) vs Trickster (1-1)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Trickster's approach is to try and lure in his desperate opponent who's fighting to remain on the roster, but it all backfires when Scorpion commands him to GET OVER HERE and delivers the Scorp Bomb to win the match and live to fight another day in an EMLL ring.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Scorpion</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="V3KisHB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/V3KisHB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Another message from El Mítico Jr airs next, in which the holder of the Campeónato de Histórico EMLL says he wants to end the dastardly Trickster for good.

Ángel De México has fans on his corner thanks to his athletic, high flying moves that get them to cheer for him and the spectacle he provides. Snake King on the other hand, while not as great a wrestler, does a great job of being rude towards the fans and denying them of the action: he cowers away to disrupt the flow of the match and stop his opponent's momentum, he slows the match down with submission holds and isn't shy about cheating when he thinks he can get away with it. Eventually though, good triumphs over evil and Ángel hits a Mexican Death so hard it almost knocks the mask out of Snake King's head to wrap up another successful title defense.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Ángel De México</strong></p><p><strong> Ángel De México makes defence number 8 of his Campeónato del Mundo EMLL title.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="IqChfad.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IqChfad.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p>

As the announcers remind everyone, Matravers beat Van Bon in a singles match at the final Back to the Future show before Terror Rising, so now it's Van Bon's teammate going one on one with Matravers. Some exciting, fast paced cruiserweight action to kick off the show, with Ven Heer using his speed and aerial attacks while Matravers opts to exploit his slight size and power advantage by grounding his opponent to the match as well as slamming him with the occasional suplex. It's thanks to one of these suplexes that Ven Heer ends up near a corner long enough for Matravers to hit the Mile High Moonsault and pick up the win.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Adam Matravers</strong></p><p> <img alt="At6zmyr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/At6zmyr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="wuo51A1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wuo51A1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="h8WdOUv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h8WdOUv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="VqnREXC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VqnREXC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Next up, Champagne Lover hosts another episode of everyone's favourite talk show, Lover's Lounge, featuring the usual red velvet recliners, cheap potted plants, champagne cooling on ice and his guests, John Silver and Christopher Lister.</p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46461" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Lover: <strong>"So here we are with the two lovebirds who'll be squaring off at Hotter than Hell for the NGW Cruiserweight championship.

The crowd is consistently on the side of the former tag team champions, who control the match thanks to their skill, experience and tag chemistry; Frye and Howard function like clockwork, which in turns bring out the best fighting spirit in their opponents. Edison takes most of the beating as he tries to grapple Howard to the mat, until Frye turns that approach against him and puts him in the Royal Armbar. Cornell rushes in to make the save and break it up, which launches Howard at him to start a ringside brawl. Less tired and beaten, Cornell easily comes out on top and then gets the tag from Edison to get in the match and wrestle Frye.
