[QUOTE=Tigerkinney;624798]It is something I have contemplated bringing in, as the People's belt is very much at the top end of being a Mid-Card belt (it's the highest a midcard belt can go in terms of prestige 70 %). But right now I just feel that I don't run quite enough shows per year to justify adding another title. The prestige for the other belts, now I've mentioned what the Peoples belt is...Undisputed (100 %), Tag Team (57 %). And whilst I'm here, I may as well say that the next show will definitely be up tomorrow, all complete except the main event and a few promos.[/QUOTE] You already have 4 titles. You could split up the Undisputed titles. Not saying you Should but you Could...

ADB then rolled up Hocking to pick up the victory. Whilst Hocking-ADB was never going to be the second coming of Ultimate Phoenix-Phoenix Negra it's still very frustrating that this feud clearly doesn't have any legs, given what was on evidence in this match.

Later on in his match Dean Daniels would come to the ring in a similar get up. The match itself was pretty much standard 4CS fare, I was perhaps hoping for a little better given the talent involved in the match, but everyone seemed to be stuck in second gear for this one and it perhaps dragged on a little too long before the action really began to pick up. The finishing sequence saw El Mitico Jr dump myself with the QuickSilver Suplex, only for Nicky R!ot to turn him inside out with a Sub Pop Bop, but R!ot did not see Fox Mask fly in off the top-rope with a missile drop-kick and when R!ot got back to his feet the Tag Team champion followed up immediately to nail R!ot with the Fox Hunter and pick up the victory.

Fire-Fly had Speed Machine off balance in the early going and a spinning head-scissors sent the former WOV man out of the ring, before Fire-Fly soared through the ropes with a tope con hilo. Back in the ring Fire Fly busted out a running shooting star press only for Speed to get the knees up and then catch Fire Fly in the heel hook but the diminutive high flier was able to make it to the ropes. Speed then got in a cheap shot on the rope-break and then launched Fire Fly over head with a release Dragon Suplex, only for Fire Fly to right himslelf onto his feet and then snap off a spinning head-scissors take down that he immediately transitioned into a Crucifix Pin (El Cristo)....Speed managed to kick out but Fire Fly was a step ahead as he nailed Speed Machine with a sliding kick for a two count before heading up top. Fire Fly then set up for the Sky High Fire Fly but Speed was playing possum and he caught Fire Fly in the Speedbreaker 2000 (Cross Arm Breaker) right in the centre of the ring and in the end Fire Fly had no choice but to tap.

That however only seemed to fire up Power more, and when they got to their feet Power levelled Capitao with a clothesline, that was then followed by the four moves of doom...ending with the San Juan Rush. But a Power, frustrated at the fact that he was stuck in yet another mid-card match wasn't done and he followed in with a second San Juan Rush for good measure, this time making the academic cover.

Big Eazy used his power to dominate much of the match but Daniels held in and was eventually able to get the W.O.V Gold man in position for the Trapped Knee Strikes, Daniels was relentless in his attack and Brett Graveson had choice but to the relief of the fans to end this abortion of a match. This was pretty much the worst match I have ever seen Dean Daniels perform in an FCW ring, and whilst his performance wasn't great and does him no favours in getting back into my good books, after the Kindgergarten esque prank he pulled on ironically enough Carl Batch last month....it takes two to tango (or not in this case) and the man formerly known as Eddie Howard just happened to be a really poor opponent for Daniels. I'm getting more and more convinced that Daniels works much better against opponents of around the same size or smaller than him.

Angel then launched himself through the ropes with a suicide dive, driving BBS into one of the barricades. Back in the ring Angel went for a quick cover only for BBS to kick out, before heading top but BBS was able to get up, staggering into the ring ropes and causing the patriotic masked man to lose his balance...that lead to BBS scooping Angel onto his shoulders and then dropping the LEA leader across his knees with a gutbuster. That was then followed with a vicious lariat as BBS re-took control of the match. BBS then looked to wear down Angel with a series of suplexes, but the LEA man held on in there, which began to frustrate the Devine Right enforcer. At that point BBS got in Angel's face telling the masked man to bring it. Angel managed to put together a brief flurry before the Bulldozer dropped him with another clothesline and set up for the Back Drop Driver but Angel must have been playing possum, as he slipped out of the move and then nailed BBS with a standing drop-kick and as BBS rebounded back towads Angel, the patriotic masked man snapped off a spinning head-scissors that he immediately transitioned into the Mexican Death Arm Bar. Angel had the move locked on right in the middle of the ring but BBS managed to dig down and used his strength to force his way over to the ropes to cause the rope break. Angel however was able to maintain the advantage as he was able to avoid a clothesline from BBS and then snap of another head-scissors take down before heading up top. But BBS managed to get back to his feet and after a clubbing blow from behind set Angel up into the Electric Chair position.........Angel seemed set to counter with the Aztec Rana but BBS managed to hold firm and tossed the patriotic masked man into the turnbuckle with a power bomb. Angel the the bounced back off the turnbuckle as BBS turned him inside out with a lariat. That brought a close two count but Angel was running fumes at this stage and when BBS set up for the Atomic Driller, there was no way back and a three slaps of the mat from Brett Graveson later, BBS had made another succesful defence of the People's Championship. A good but not great match for the People's Championship. Angel was a little bit off in this one and it resulted in the match not being quite as good as maybe it could have been.

This was really run of the mill formula stuff with the faces having some success early on, but the heels then finding a way to turn it around. Mr Electricity played Spencer Marks, as he tried to take too much on, whilst Peverall tried to recover. There were then a few false hot tags, until Electricity finally got the hot tag into a fresh Bradford Peverall. A Rock Hard Uppercut on his former best friend turned bitter rival Mainstream Hernandez seemed to have the match won for Peverall, only for Soul Krusher to level Peverall with a big boot and then dump Peverall with a Dead Man Walking. It should have been all over right there but Mr Electricity launched himself off the top turnbuckle with a flying body block on Soul Krusher. Electricity then managed to follow up bt planting the monsterous Krusher into the mat, with Move #54 (Forward Russian Legsweep) but he was not the legal man and had to drag over a dazed Peverall to their corner to tag himself back into the match. Only problem was Soul Krusher had completely no sold the move and when Mr Electricity did tag back in he snapped of a powerslam on the disco dancer, a fresh Mainstream Hernandez then demanded to be tagged back in, just to he could get the academic pin, following a super-kick.

The match actually started off relatitvely clean with some nicely put together chain wrestling sequences, that put over the fact that Johnson could 'hang' with Phoenix but not be able to top him. In the end that got to Johnson went out for a powder...Phoenix then set up for his trademark plancha to the floor but put the brakes on when Lisa Bowen hopped up on the apron. Phoenix then argued with Bowen, allowing for Johnson to sneak back in and get a cheap shot in from behind. For the next five minutes or so, it was all the Devine Right man, as Johnson tried to wear down Phoenix with a tri-fecta of snap suplexes, before taking the popular masked man over with a snap mare and then driving Phoenix face first into the mat with the Tar Heel Stomp.....Johnson then locked on the Carolina Crossface but the champion is made of strong stuff and he managed to summon enough energy to make it to the ropes. Johnson then got in a cheap shot on the rope-break to remain in control and placed Phoenix on the top turnbuckle, but that proved to be a mistake as Phoenix dove off and then planted Johnson into the mat with a Tornado DDT. Phoenix was a little too worn down though to go for a cover and referee Brett Graveson started a double count....as both got up Johnson came charging but Phoenix was able to counter with a leg-lariat and then snap off a head-scissors take-down. Before heading up top........ Phoenix then soared off the top rope with the Phoenix Firebird Splash only for Double J to move out of the way, but Phoenix managed to land on his feet, stun Johnson with a roundhouse kick and then plant the Devine Right man into the mat with the Flaming Driver to pick up the expected victory in what may well be one of (and of no offence to Jared Johnson, because he's a bright young talent) the most routine defences of Phoenix current (or even his previous) title reign.

Of course once on the outside Lisa Bowen decided to make her prescence felt as she placed herself between Andrews and Devine, just as it looked like the NOTBPW man was getting the upper hand, and the distraction was enough for Devine to get in a cheap shot, placing a thumb to the eye of Andrews and then sending Andrews into the ring-steps. Devine then rolled into the ring to break the count...before driving Andrews face first into the ring-steps once again..busting the NOTBPW man open in the process. Devine then pitched Andrews back into the ring and went for a quick cover, only for Andrews to kick out but Devine felt in full control and taunted Andrews to get up with a series of paint brush slaps and more verbal assaults. All that did though was fire Andrews up and Double A began to fire back but the flurry was soon cut short with a Pat Deacon Knee Lift, before Devine drove Andrews into the canvas with a Russian Leg-sweep......... But Devine decided against making the cover and instead decided to just stalk Andrews and then lock on his Sleeper Hold variation the Devine Dreams...... Andrews, who also had to contend with the blood loss from the top of his head...looked to be in trouble as Devine's simple but effective submission hold, began to wear him down...... Graveson took a look at the condition of Andrews...... The arm dropped down...... Graveson checked again...... Still no response......... Graveson looked ready to call for the bell....... But Andrews suddenly came back to life, he was still in this and he wasn't about to go back 'home' without putting up more of a fight against Darryl Devine, and the shock and horror of the Devine Right leader he dug down enough energy to drag himself and Devine over to the ropes....... Devine the tried to get in a cheap shot on the rope break, but Andrews was ready for it and then Devine was on the receiving end of some of his old medicine, when it was Andrews who as able to sneak in a supiciously low knee shot to the groin. Andrews then spiked Devine into the mat with desperation implant DDT, before falling to the mat out of sheer exhaustion. As both staggered to their feet Devine still looked the fresher, but Andrews was able to block a roaring elbow and then come back with a flurry of fore-arms smashes. Andrews then whipped Devine into the ring-ropes, only for Devine to spring back off with the Devine Intervention (springboard back elbow) but Andrews was able to avoid the elbow and then catch Devine in mid-flight to launch the Devine Right leader half way across the ring with a release German Suplex...the momentum of which then sent Devine tumbling over the top rope to the floor ! Andrews then suddenly with a burst of adrenaline, launched himself off the top-rope with a springboard flying cross body that sent both himself and Devine into the front row of the crowd. Brett Graveson started a twenty count, but the bloodied yet pumped up Aaron Andrews was back to his feet and he was able to make it back into the ring. Andrews then waited for Graveson to count Devine out........ Seventeen...... Eighteen.......... Nineteen.......... Devine had made it back in but was most definitely looking worse for wear and Andrews looked set to take the Devine Right leader down with 'THAT A STAR MOVE' (Twist of Fate) but Devine must have been playing possum (and used the twenty count to it's full advantage to recover) as he managed to block the attempt with relative ease and then counter into a Devineplex (Northern Lights Suplex)........ One........ Two........ Thr......... Andrews managed to power his shoulder up, but Devine remained in control with another Pat Deacon knee lift as Andrews struggled back to his feet, before butterflying the arms and then driving Andrews face first into the mat with the DEVINE DREAM DROP ! One...... Two.......... Thr....... Andrews managed to kick out yet again much to the obvious frustration of Darryl Devine. Devine then paced around for a bit before deciding to head up top, as the NOTBPW man remained rooted to the mat...... Devine distracted by some fans heckling in the front row, then took some time to jaw with them, before heading up to the top turnbuckle. The Devine Right leader arrogantly posed and then launched himself off with the DFA (Diving Elbow Drop) but there was nobody home as Andrews managed to move out of the way and as they both staggered to their feet....Andrews sent Devine crashing onto the top-rope with the DOUBLE A-SHOT (Standing Hot Shot) but as Devine staggered back he stumbled into Brett Graveson, knocking the referee down in the process......... All of a sudden Arthur Dexter Bradley stormed into the ring armed with the 'Green Box' ADB took a swing at Andrews but Andrews was able to duck under and then drop-kick ADB out of the ring.....causing the Green Box to fall from ADB's grasp.....Andrews then picked up the Green Box and looked set to smash it over the head of Devine, but he was unaware that Bulldozer Brandon Smith had now sneaked into the ring.....and the People's Champion dumped Andrews with a BACK DROP DRIVER...... BBS then placed a dazed Darryl Devine on top of Andrews as he went to revive Brett Graveson....... One........ Two......... Thr....... Andrews had some how managed to kick out again, to the shock and disdain of Devine and his bevy of followers that were now surrounding the ring..... Devine goes for the Pat Deacon Knee Lift, but Andrews blocks catches the leg and then dumps Devine with a Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex...following a shin breaker. The NOTBPW guest does not go for a cover though and instead decides to head for the top turnbuckle....he waits for Devine to stagger back to his feet and then launches himself off with the A-PRESS (Flying Body Press)......... One..... Two....... But Devine uses the momentum to roll through into a pin attempt of his own........ One...... Two....... They then exhange pin attempts back and forth until, until the mometum sees's them tangled up in the ropes........ Then as they break free Devine gets in a cheap shot and plants Andrews into the mat with a Russian leg-sweep.....Devine then whips Andrews into the corner, before following in with a face-wash. With Andrews looking to be in bad way, Devine drags Andrews to the top turnbuckle....Devine then butterflies the arms, as he prepares to put Andrews away with the DEVINE NIGHTMARE DROP but Andrews manages to block and all of a sudden sends both himself and Devine crashing into the ring with a SUPERPLEX ! Both of them layed on the canvas as the Brett Graveson started a double count, but the time was also ticking on the thirty minute time limit......... They both got up at the same time......and then unleashed a flurry of fore-arms one another, but both looked noticeably worn down and unlike at the start of the match where neither could get an advantage because the man opposite them was giving as good as they got, this time round neither of them could gain any sort of advantage, as they simply had no energy........ Andrews suddenly seemed to find a second wind though.....and his strikes began to have more conviction, he had Devine on the backfoot and seemed confident enough to make an attempt at THAT A STAR MOVE, but Devine blocked and then suddenly came back with a flurry of his own, to send Andrews once again into a dazed state......Devine delivered a kick to the mid-section, butterflied the arms.....DEVINE DREAM DROP...No Blocked ! as Andrews dropped to one knee.....Devine delivered an elbow shot to the top of head.....lifted Andrews back up and then drove him face first into the mat ! One...... Two....... Devine is denied victory as the bell ring's just as the time limit expires just as he is making the pin on Andrews..... A really good main event, and it had to be as this was admittedly a 'filler' show in the schedule given the quality of the undercard. The lack of history between Devine and Andrews, and the fact that some of the fans never really bought into Andrews as a face during his brief stay in FCW, probably saw the match fall just short of classic status but the quality of the wrestling really shone through by the end of the match. I probably wont be bringing Andrews back any time soon though, his in-ring performances were fine but he was a major pain with his Creative Control (un willing to job to anyone)....Devine at least came away looking strong by the end of the match, even if he didn't officially win the match. [B][COLOR=red]Result: Aaron Andrews drew with Darryl Devine in 30:00 when the time limit expired. [/COLOR][/B] [B][/B] [B][COLOR=red]Rating: B[/COLOR][/B] [CENTER][B][COLOR=black]______________________________________________________[/COLOR][/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=sienna]Overall: C+[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] The general feeling was that this show always was going to be more a filler show, with a solid but unspectacular undercard supported by a fresh and exciting main event, that would carry the show to a decent overall grade. That's exactly what this show delivered, so in terms of expectations for the show I can have little complaints. Same grade as Mejor Que Nuestro Mejor, but because I had lower expectatons for this show, I'm fully satisfied with the C+ this time round.

[CENTER][B][U]May in Review[/U][/B][/CENTER] It appears that Senor Lopez has been somewhat rattled by the financial situation of 4C since their rise to cult size and has admitted that we should try and follow the model/example set by CZCW. He still says that he has ambitions to see FCW grow but has stated that he does not want to see the promotion fall into debt at any point. What this will probably mean, is that we will probably put to a halt any ambitions to try and expand beyond Puerto Rico and that for the rest of the year will probably only stick to putting on one show a month. Whilst it may seem like we will be going backwards in the short term, the long term planning is to give ourselves a more solid financial base to work from. The past month saw us make a profit of over $20,000. The emphasis right now will be on quality of shows, rather than quantity of shows. Mainstream Hernandez, Kashmir Singh (Mr Electricity), Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Marc Speed have all signed contract extensions. All four are seen as established members of our roster. Speed in particular has greatly benefitted of late with his succesful re-packaging to his Speed Machine gimmick and looks to be in line for this first significant push in FCW, since he held the Tag Team Titles along side Primus. [CENTER]______________________________________________________________ [B][U]Rival Promotion Watch[/U][/B][/CENTER] CZCW saw them return to form this month with Welcome to the Coastal Zone 2012 (B-), this was mostly due to them doing the sensible thing this time and putting on the Ultimate Phoenix latest defence of the Coastal Zone championship this time in a triple threat against Fox Mask and Donnie J (B) on as the main event, the undercard was solid with matches mostly in the C range. MAW's Goin Crazy was a bit of a damp squib (C-) with Mean Jean Cattley defending the Mid Atlantic Championship against JD Morgan in a very average main event (C). Match of the night once again came amongst the midcard for MAW as KC Glenn overcame Bulldozer Brandon Smith (no strangers to facing each other in FCW) in a C+ rated match. Andre Jones made a solid defence of the NYCW Empire Title against Ryan Powell (C+) in the main event of Genesis, but it was enough to lift an overall very average show (C). [CENTER]____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]May News and Notes From Around The Wrestling World[/U][/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]The Passing of a Legend[/U][/B] [B]Rip Chord (April 1949- May 2012)[/B] [IMG]http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_RipChord.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Some sad news to start off with this month as a true legend of the wrestling business, Rip Chord suddenly passed away at the Age of 63 earlier this month. Chord who collapsed at his home in Virginia Beach had well documented problems with alcohol but had appeared to put those behind him in recent years, so his death comes as something of a shock to many, but it appears his past demons unfortunately catch up with him. Chord who's wrestling career spanned nearly 40 years and saw him win the top singles title of seven different promotions during that time was seen as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and by many prior during his prime years of the 70's and 80's as arguably The Greatest to have ever stepped into a wrestling ring. Chord who was a natural heel, had an uncanny ability to make the fans both despise yet admire him at the same time. Chord's wrestling style was one of cerebral intelligence, he wasn't the biggest, he wasn't the fastest but he found a way to win, be it by hook or often was the case by crook. Chord also pioneered the DDT and still no one to his day, can hit that move as smoothly as Chord did in his prime. These days the DDT is seen as a transitional move, the sort of move that can change the momentum of a match but in the hands of Rip Chord it truly was a thing of beauty. Chord begun his wrestling career in 1967, like many earlier in their careers he paid his dues before he found himself gradually begin to rise to towards the main event at the turn of the decade. In November 1972 Chord won his first major championship with the AAFW promotion, he went on to win the title for a second time during his tenure there, whilst also making his name in APWF where he also held the title on two occasions. Between the years of 1972 and 1974 and had some memorable feuds with Dick the Devastator (AAFW) and Dan Stone (APWF) during that time period. His feud with Devastator was blown off with a revolutionary and brutal for the time Last Man Standing Match in AAFW in January 1974. Chord lost the match and left the territory soon after. Chord would also wind up departing from APWF around a year later. In 1975 Chord moved onto the TWL promotion and made an instant impact when he won the TWL Championship in his debut match from Pat Deacon. Chord went on to have another memorable rivarly with Deacon, losing the title back to Deacon at the end of the year but regaining it just over half a year later. Chords second reign lasted for well over a year and this time he saw off challenges from the likes of Deacon again and Chief Two Eagles. It was Eagles who would end Chords dominant reign and when Chord was unable to regain the title in the early months of 1978, he decided to move on yet again. This time Chord headed North of the Border, to compete for the CWF he renewed his rivalry with Dan Stone (that they first had in the APWF). Even though he did not make the instant impact he did in TWL, Chord did eventually defeat Stone for the CWF Championship and then went on to hold the title for the next 14 months, where his reign was brought to and end by another Canadian wrestling legend in the form of George De Colt. Chord may have gone on to have another title reign with the CWF but a new dominant force was emerging in North American wrestling the SWF. Run by the ruthless and aggressive Richard Eisen, SWF did not work within the confines of the old territorial system and instead wanted to be THE promotion and in the summer of 1981, the signed Chord (who was recognised as a great heel) to go up against Sam Strong, SWF's top babyface that had enjoyed a meteoric rise to become the biggest star in the whole of wrestling. Even though Chord had a memorable rivalry with Strong, he always came up short and was unable to win the SWF World Championship from his bitter rival over the next four years but despite the fact Chord had suffered his longest title drought of his career...he had become a household name across all of America due to his feud with Strong and the rapidly growing popularity of the SWF. Chord did eventually win the SWF World Title in 1985 in the autumn of 1985, from Micky Starr. Starr had defeated the monster (Dread) who had finally brought to an end the dominant reign of Sam Strong, before Chord was finally rewarded for all of his hard work in helping to put over Sam Strong as the biggest star in wrestling with his first SWF World Title reign. Chord would lose the title back to his bitter rival Sam Strong, ten months later. But with Strong no longer seen as 'unbeatable' their rivalry was reinvigorated over the next four years, with Chord trading the belt with Strong over the next four years into the turn of the decade. Unfortunately the turn of the decade, also saw Chord become more and more known for his fondness of the 'high life' and for a dependancy on alcohol and even though Chord's final reign with the title lastest for an impressive two years, his peformances were noticeably becoming sloppier. Luckily for the SWF Kayfabe was still strong at this point, and Chord still enjoyed genuine heel heat as champion, as opposed to the sort of heat that would seen him derided for his increasingly lacklustre in-ring performances. After that Chord gradually began to slide down the pecking order of SWF, and given the fact that we was one of the SWF's biggest stars throughout the 80's and into the early 90's, his somewhat quiet departure from the promotion in the Fall of 1995 was not the way anyone thought he would go out. Chord then headed over to Japan, to work for GCG and even though he won their World Title, his reign was seen as a disappointment as he was unable to capture the imagination of the Japanese wrestling fans, due to his laboured ring work. Chord though was going to head back to his native America, because there was now someone with the financial backing to take on the SWF. JK Stallings formed the HGC promotion to go head to head with the SWF, and his first two signings were Chord and Sam Strong. Chord and Strong were both seen as by their sell by date by Richard Eisen, but Stallings still saw them as the biggest superstars in wrestling and that with them on board HGC would not only compete with the SWF but surpass them. Stallings was half right, Chord and Strong were still very popular and without their prescence HGC probably wouldn't have been a threat to the SWF. But they were both 'past it' and even though they were booked as HGC's biggest stars during the early years of the promotions existance the quality of their matches was noticeably a shadow of those they had in the SWF. Strong and Chord may have brought in HGC's fan base, but it was their underdcard during this period that saw them hold onto to a fan base to at least compete with the SWF. Chord would win the HCG World Championship twice between 1997 and 1999. But with his drinking problems really beginning to take it's toll, he was released in 2000. Chord would wrestle sporadically for various independent promotions during the early 2000's, it was also during this time that Chord begun to recognise that he had a drink problem and in 2003 with those in charge in HGC believing that Chord was beginning to turn a corner, they invited him back for one last run. Chord was a of course a shadow of his former self by this stage of his career but his matches still attracted fan interest and his feud with Ricky Dale Johnson, helped to elevate RDJ to the main eventer he is today in HGC (which would soon be rebranded as TCW during Chords final year in TCW). In January 2005 Chord also set up the MAW promotion, stating that he wanted to give back to the business that gave so much to him. Officially announcing his retirement a year later (though in Storyline terms he was retired by Ricky Dale Johnson) Chord left HGC to concentrate on his work with MAW. Chord who was married and divorced three times, left behind four children Bobby (32),Martha (27), Jay (22), Tammy (13). Jay was the only one of the four to follow Rip into the wrestling business and even though the two were estranged during the nineties, Rip reconciled with his son over the past few years and it was announced that Jay had inherited MAW from his father. Chords relationship with Bobby and Martha (his children from his first marriage) remained strained to the end. [B][U]Other General News[/U][/B] Jay looking to shake things up a little in MAW took the decision to replace Jean Cattley as head booker with former SWF head booker Farrah Hesketh. Jay said that he has a lot of respect for Jean Cattley and that Cattley would still be part of the booking team but said that he wishes for Cattley to concentrate on his work inside the ring of MAW. Meanwhile Chord's bitter rival Sam Strong (in Kayfabe terms, they were actually good friends behind the scenes) has announced his desire to retire from the wrestling business and has handed over the day to day running of USPW to his daughter Alicia Strong. It will be interesting to see if Alicia reinstates the womens division, like Jay she has decided to shake things up a bit by replacing Danny Jillefski with Corporal Doom as the promotions head booker. [B][U]Worker Signings[/U][/B] Steph Blake has returned to AAA, the English born wrestler was last appeared in the Seattle based promotion in May 2010. CWWF have added Sally-Ann Christianson to their roster. Christianson was a protege of NOTBPW's Victoria Stone but was suprisingly not given much of chance to make it in NOTBPW's womens division. EWA boost their ranks with the addition of Philip Cooper, whilst womens wrestler Anna-Ki makes a return to the promotion. Exodus 2010 have added the latest incarnation of the relatively popular Edo Phoenix character, number IV to their roster. It remains to be seen if IV can go on to emulate the success of the original character or be something of a disappoinment like his precedecesors II & III. Barry Griffin make a somewhat surprise return to GCG, after he was deemed surplus to requirements in 2010, signing a written deal in the process. INSPIRE will boost their ranks for their up-coming summer tour with the addtions of gaijins Crusher Von Steinberg, Josh Jones and Willie York. Black Hat Bailey has joined MAW, and it appears he will be taking over as their chief road agent. Gino Montero has returnd to MHW, 13 months after leaving the promotion. Former WLW talent Ketsueki Karasu has returned to working in Mexico, this time in MPWF where he will be working under the Blood Raven name. Marc DuBois rejects a contract extension from SWF to work in his native Canada with NOTBPW, whilst the Canadian giants women's division also receives a boost with the addition of Wanda Fish. NYCW pick up Rudy Velasquez (last seen in FCW) and Riley McManus (last seen in MAW), whilst Matt Hocking is also beginning to expand his schedule after signing on with the old school promotion. PSW boost their roster with the additions of Justin Sensitive, and SWF's Paul Huntingdon (aka Lord Windameer). Duke Hazzard joins the commentary team of RIPW. SWF were dealt let another blow, when Zimmy Bumfhole confirmed his defection to TCW. Jason Cole (formerly known as Jed High) has joined UEW. Jack Marlowe expands his schedule to include USPW.

MHW extend the contracts of Phoenix III, Laberinto Jr, announcer Carlos Moreno, backstage interviewer Soledad Iglesias and referee Domingo Castillo. MOSC extend the contracts of DJ Reason, Edward Cornerll, Hugh De Aske and Philip Cooper. A relatively busy month for MPWF as they extend the contracts of Dragon Del Arco Iris Jr, El Bandito, El Serpiente, Hynnotiq Jr, Mustang Blanco Jr, Soul Taker, referee 'Benn' and valet Gabriel Ortega. NYCW extend the contracts of Casey Valentine, Honest Frank, Sgt Bubba Lee West, Xavier Reckless and valet Fern Hathaway. OLLIE extend the contracts of Phoenix I, Luis Montero Jr, road agent Manuel Prieto, referee Benito Garcia and valet Secreto.

SOTBPW extend the contracts of Rebelde Loco, Mayan Idol, valet Lucia and referee 'Ramirez'. Zimmy Bumfhole, Greg Rayne and James Prudence will all be sticking with the SWF but only a PPA basis. UEW extend the PPA deals of Kalu Owusu, Jay Heartbreak (Byron) and referee Gary Garrett. USPW extend the contracts of Ekuma, Harry Allen and announcer Cliff Anderson. [B]Worker Releases/Departures[/B] Martin Heath does not get his contract renewed by 21CW. 4C decide to let go of Jason Thunder, as they look to further trim the roster to help ease their precarious financial status. Wanda Fish departs from AAA, CWWF and USPW after signing on exclusively with NOTBPW. CWWF also lose Tracy Brendon, who stated she wishes to concentrate on her commitments in the U.S with AAA and BSC. Jason Cole (formerly known as Jed High) leaves EWA to re-unite with former tag partner Christopher Lister in UEW. Hombre De La Energia decides against renewing his contract with MHW. Mexican Ghoul fails to come to agreement on a contract extension with OLLIE. Unlike his brother Randy, Zimmy Bumfhole departs from the SWF for the currently brighter pastures of TCW, whilst Grandmaster Phunk fails to come to agreement over a new contract anf Marshall Dillion is deemed surplus to requirements. Jay Chord who inherited MAW from his late father Rip, also departs from TCW as he felt he could not commit himself fully to both promotions. Mayhem Midden hangs up his microphone for RIPW, after signalling his intention to retire from the wrestling business within the next month. Barry Griffin leaves WLW, as he returns to his more natural home of GCG. [B]Injuries[/B] NOTBPW veteran Cliff 'Dark Angel' Wilson will be on the treatment table for at least a year after he sustained a herniated spinal disc. Some though feel that the injury of this nature could well see Wilson (who has been battling through various injuries over the past few years) contemplate hanging up the boots for good. Billy Russell the former MMA fighter who has mostly built his reputation in Japan since turning to professional wrestling will be out of action for a whole year after he suffered a torn rotator cuff. GCG who seem to suffer a major injury every other month but still somehow keep on producing quality shows on a consistent basis, this time lose Julian Watson for a whole year after he sustained a major concussion. Completing a quartet of long term injuries 5SSW's Chitose Ariwara will also be on the shelf for a whole year after she shattered her elbow. AAA's Jaime Quine suffered a Torn Stomach muscle and will be out for a month. [B]Worker Retirements[/B] Miss Mexico best known for a well received rivalry with Joanne Rodriguez in the early 2000's has hung up her wrestling boots the Age of 36. Whilst J-Ro went to to become one of the true stars of womens wrestling not just in her native U.S but also in Japan, Miss Mexico never quite reached those heights and her career tailed off after he rivarly with Rodriguez had runs it's course. The only other retirement this month, is another womens wrestler Corrine White, one half of the much maligned Lesbians With Attitude Tag Team, who also retires at the age of 36. [B]Backstage News[/B] Don't expect Sgt Bubba Lee West to have his contract renewed by CGC, after owner and permanent fixture in the main event Alex De Colt revealed on local radio that he really doesn't have alot of time for Sgt West. Then again kayfabe could still be alive in this case as DeColt is booked as a face and West is a heel. [B]Media News[/B] NOTBPW continue to expand their PPV coverage, as the strike a deal with Demand-TV Mexico. TCW will see their Total Wrestling shown across Europe via Euro Cable Sports 1, WLW will have their Combat TV broadcast in Mexico on TV-Mex and Exodus 2010 have earned themselves a TV Deal with All Japan TV set to broacast a weekly Highlights package entitled ....In Your Face ! from next month. [B]Title Changes[/B] Leo Price won the UK Title in 21CW to become a three time champion. All change in 5SSW during May, Raku Makuda won the World Title for a third time, Shiori Jippensha became a four time All-Asian Champion and June Butler was able to regain the Tag Titles alongside Yuma Muruya (who was a replacement for Butler's regular partner the injured Chitose Ariwara). Edd Stone defeated Joey Poison to become the new 4C Champion and Phillip LaGrenier completed the triple crown in 4C, when he teamed with Damian Carvill to win the Tag Titles and end the near year long reign of Shane Nelson and Raphael. The EWA Tag Titles currently find themselves vacated, following the departure of Jed High. The GCG World Championship is back in Gaijin hands, as Marat Kkoklov won the title for the first time. Vincente Romero defeated Angel De Mexico to become the new MHW Campeon del Mundo. The Campeon de Trios title reign of Atlantis Jr, El Hijo Espada Roja and Daniel Cano that began in August 2009, was finally brought to an end by Hynotiq Jr, Payaso Jr and Ultra Spark Jr. Casey Valentine and Honest Frank defeated Ryan Powell and Hollywood Brett Starr for the vacant PSW Tag Team Championship. Amazing Fire Fly ended the latest reign of Pirata Malvado to become the Campeon de Menor in SOTBPW for the first time and Marcos Flores teamed with Tijuana Vampire to lay claim to the Campeon de Parejas. 'Dark Star' Erik Strong regained the SWF Shooting Star Title from James Prudence, to become the champion for a third time. Antonio Maxi Marquez regained the WLW Universal Title from Koji Kojima, to become a two time champion. UK Dragon regained the Show Stealer title from Emerald Angel (his 4th reign) but lost it to Mr Lucha III (who wins the title for the first time) soon after. Ryu Kajahara returned to his hardcore roots to win the Street Fighting Title for a fourth time and Tany Toshusai became a two time Tap Out Champion.

The main event will see Ultimate Phoenix put his Undisputed Championship on the line against Mainstream Hernandez. Hernandez has looked impressive of late in Tag Team competition alongside Soul Krusher but can he make the step up in singles action and cause what many would consider to be a major shock and with Ultimate Phoenix recently having to contend with post match attacks from his nemesis/brother Phoenix Negra he may be distracted enough for the self proclaimed leader of the Mainstream Nation to take advantage. The Devine Right-FREEDOM 5 also looks set to start coming to a head at this show, with three matches between Devine Right and FREEDOM-5 members. First of Primus takes on Arthur Dexter Bradley, then Bulldozer Brandon Smith who has looked dominant as People's champion puts his belt on the line against Charles Rainier, finally Darryl Devine teams up with Jared Johnson to take on Dean Daniels and a mystery partner. Will Steve Flash make a triumphant return, after being taken out by Devine Right back in April or will the '5th member' of FREEDOM-5 finally be revealed. So far FREEDOM-5 have got off to rather inauspicious start as a faction but success in these three matches could see them begin to make their mark and signal a turning point in their fight against Devine Right. However an unsuccesful night could well spell the end for the faction before they even got started. The Tag Team Championship will also be on the line as Animal Magic (Fox Mask and Masked Cougar) look to cement themselves as the premier team in FCW, when they face off against not one, but two sets of challengers in an elimination match. Looking to take them down will be the W.O.V Gold pairing of Nicky R!ot and Big Eazy and the L.E.A representatives The Sons of Lucha Libre of El Mitico Jr and Capitao Brasil Jr. There will be a real David vs Goliath battle as the monsterous Soul Krusher takes on the smallest member of the roster the Amazing Fire Fly. In terms of size and power it's a no contest but Fire Fly has a great set of equalizers with his incredible speed and agility. Angel De Mexico who came up short in his attempt to prise away the People's Championship last month will take on the rapidly rising Marc Speed. Speed has looked impressive since his 'rebirth' as the 'Speed Machine' and will be looking to continue his rich vein of form with a win over an established performer like Angel De Mexico. Rounding out the main show Phoenix Negra will be looking to send a message to Ultimate Phoenix with a victory over Mr Electricity. The Disco Dancin' one managed to change the fans perception of himself last month by saving fan favourite Bradford Peverall from a beat down at the hands of Mainstream Hernandez and Soul Krusher, but even with fan support now on his side will surely be up against when he faces off with the former Undisputed Champion.

[B][U]Esto Signica Guerra II[/U][/B] Undisputed Championship: [B]Ultimate Phoenix[/B] vs Mainstream Hernandez [I]- I think UP wins this by DQ as this screams 'tester match' for if the Mainstream is ready to go Mainevent.[/I] Darryl Devine & Jared Johnson vs [B]Dean Daniels & ???[/B] [I]- Two things. I never bet against ??? and... F5 need to look dangerous about now or they have about as much longevity as Dudes with Attidude.[/I] People's Championship: [B]Bulldozer Brandon Smith[/B] vs Charles Rainier [I]- I'd love if the bookerman flipped creative control and took the title but... he's not gonna be that guy so BBS continues to hold this title until a dangerous challenger is built up.[/I] Tag Team Championship (Elimination): Animal Magic vs [B]Sons of Lucha Libre[/B] vs W.O.V Gold (Eazy & R!ot) [I]- I have no real reason for this. I just suspect TK has a title change and this is where it'll be. And I refuse to back another R!ot t!tle run.[/I] Amazing Fire Fly vs [B]Soul Krusher[/B] [I]- Soul Krusher crushes the gnat.[/I] Angel De Mexico vs [B]'Speed Machine' Marc Speed[/B] [I]- I like the mask. Enough said.[/I] [B]Mr Electricity[/B] vs Phoenix Negra [I]- Nah, I'm kidding. This is totally a [b]Phoenix Negra[/b] squash.[/I] Arthur Dexter Bradley vs [B]Primus[/B] [I]- Again F5 need to look dangerous. This allows them to go 2 for 3. Speaking of which, I think Primus might well be the one to be elevated to take out BBS.[/I] [B]Da Power[/B] vs Captain Morgan [I]- Puerto Rico is in the Caribbean... that area is known for its rum... so the Captain shows up doing his best Jake Roberts - Legends of Wrestling experience.[/I] [B]Bradford Peverall[/B] vs Remmy Honeyman [I]- Who is the Honey Man?[/I]

James Casey · May 5, 2009

Undisputed Championship: [B]Ultimate Phoenix[/B] vs Mainstream Hernandez - Masked Man vs. Emo Warrior... Phoenix to retain, as Mainstream hasn't done enough yet to warrant this big a win. Darryl Devine & Jared Johnson vs [B]Dean Daniels & ???[/B] - Your mystery member? Well, I think he'll debut with a win, maybe even putting Devine down to shut his mouth for a bit. People's Championship: [B]Bulldozer Brandon Smith[/B] vs Charles Rainier - You're getting a bit of a push, but I don't see you getting a title any time soon. Tag Team Championship (Elimination): [B]Animal Magic[/B] vs Sons of Lucha Libre vs W.O.V Gold (Eazy & R!ot) - The belts should be on the best team around (says me, somewhat hypocritically...) Amazing Fire Fly vs [B]Soul Krusher[/B] - I so want to pick Fly. He [I]could[/I] win this... but he's going to, is he? Angel De Mexico vs [B]'Speed Machine' Marc Speed[/B] - One guy's getting a push, and it's not ADM... Mr Electricity vs [B]Phoenix Negra[/B] - A strong showing from KS, but no win Arthur Dexter Bradley vs [B]Primus[/B] - I find myself starting to dislike Allen wherever he goes, now. Still, I can't see him losing to ADB, who I've [I]never[/I] liked :p [B]Da Power[/B] vs Captain Morgan - Senor Lopez reaches a career nadir... What next: Joe Benning? Bradford Peverall vs [B]Remmy Honeyman[/B] - Honeyman's solid, even if he has got the charisma of a doped up brick. As an introduction to FCW a win over a face who keeps getting attacked by his ex partner is certainly feasible.

Speed tried to synch in the Deadly Heel Hook early only for Angel De Mexico to kick him off and send Spend tumbling through the ropes with the monkey flip. Woth Speed disorientated on the outside Angel came crashing through the ropes with a tope. Back in the ring Angel got a two count off a quebrada, before setting up for the Acapulco Twist but Speed managed to block and countered with a DDT. Speed then followed in with a running knee strike for a two count. Speed then positioned Angel for the Dragon Suplex but the LEA leader fought out and then after an exchange of strikes was able to take Speed off balance with a head-scissors take down that he transitioned into a pin attempt. They then exchanged near-falls until Angel was able to come out on top following a sunset flip immediately followed by a basement drop-kick that had Speed in a daze. Angel then went up top and waited for Speed to get up before diving off and flipping Speed over with a spinning head-scissors before looking to synch in his Mexican Death Arm Bar but to Angel's surprise Speed managed to roll through an reverse into his Speedbreaker 2000 (Cross Arm Breaker). Speed had the submission locked on right in the middle of the ring and the patriotic masked man saw no other choice but to tap out, earning Speed arguably the biggest singles win of his FCW career thus far. A solid opener, that saw an established upper end mid-carder help pass the torch to someone currently on the rise as a singles performer.

That actually gets under my skin so I charge right at BBS on the sound of the bell, but the Devine Right enforcer is able to brush off my offence and levels me with a clothesline. From there on it's all BBS as he tosses me around from corner to cornerm whilst taking his sweet time to talk as much trash as possible. With me slumped in the corner, BBS then goes for a face-wash but I managed to catch his leg and send him off balance with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip. That proves to be the opening I needed to get back into the match as I follow up with a well placed drop-kick to his leg but before I can follow up with a cover, BBS manages to hoble out of the ring. But with the tide turning and the adrenalin now pumping through me, I don't let up and come crashing down upon the champion with a Moonsault Press. I then go to pitch BBS into the ring, but the Bulldozer loses his strength advantage to hold firm and then drive me back first into the ring-apron. BBS with the momentum back in his favour pitches me back into the ring and sets up for the Back-Drop Driver but his knee starts to buckle, which gives me enough time to slip out and then stun him with an Enziguri, before running off the ropes to plant the Bulldozer face-first onto the mat with a bull-dog. With BBS down I then head up top, before landing a pitch perfect moonsault but as I go for the cover, I immediately notice that Lisa Bowen is up on the apron, threatening to interefere and with my focus not on BBS the Devine Right enforcer staggers back to his feet before clubbing me from behind and then slinging me half way across the ring with a release German Suplex. Luckily for myself I landed near the ropes when BBS went for the cover but I still looked to be in trouble and BBS set up for the Atomic Driller, but once again I managed to slip out and this time stunned the Bulldozer with the Raindrop (Dropsault) but unfortuantely BBS stumbled into Brett Graveson, causing the ref to fall flat on his face. Inevitably Devine Right stormed the ring, but I managed to send Jared Johnson and then ADB with his 'Green Box' out of the ring with a series of drop-kicks. But the distraction was enough for BBS to regain his senses and then dump me with the BACK DROP DRIVER ! But to everyone's surprise there was one final twist in this match as K.C Glenn suddenly appeared in the ring and then drilled BBS with the TUNE UP THE SUNSHINE BAND ! Glenn then placed my limp body onto the equally limp BBS. A few seconds later Graveson came to his senses and began to count...... One....... Two....... Three !!! I had just become the new People's champion !! The crowd were in utter shock, none of them saw this coming and with the part K.C Glenn played in my victory they immediately begun to speculate if he was the fifth member of FREEDOM-5.

Highlights include both members of Animal Magic and The Sons of Lucha Libre making dives to the outside, including a twisting plancha from El Mitico (who though not a heavyweight, is not a lightweight either) that really popped the crowd, whilst the W.O.V Gold of Eazy and R!ot would let the pair of masked duo's fly around the ring before killing the little guys with power moves such as clotheslines and powerslams. In fact W.O.V Gold looked in control when Eazy and R!ot had sent both members of Animal Magic crashing out of the ring with a pair of running clothesline. That lead to Capitao Brasil Jr being isolated, where Eazy then drove him into the mat with the Natural Ending (Release Power Bomb) but El Mitico managed to knock down Nicky R!ot with a flying shoulder block, before diving across the ring just in terms to save his partner. Eazy then landed a clubbing blow and looked to be setting up for a vertical suplex, but Mitico held firm and then took Eazy over with a Quicksilver Suplex. But R!ot dove across to make the save, before turning Mitico inside out with a Sub Pop Bop but Animal Magic then announced their arrival back in the match. Instead of letting R!ot eliminate Mitico, they saved the Sons of Lucha Libre man and instead drilled R!ot with the LAST HUNT (Double Enziguri's) to ensure that W.O.V Gold would be the first team to be eliminated from the match. [B]Elimination #1: W.O.V Gold @ 6:54[/B] The match would now be contested under normal rules, and it would be the fresher Capitao Brasil Jr who would start out against Fox Mask of the defending champion Animal Magic. With W.O.V Gold out of the way, this would prove to be a good clean contest between two teams, striving to prove who is the best team. We get some nice chain wrestling to start with between Capitao and Fox, that leads to stale mate and both of them tagging out to their respective partners. Cougar and Mitico have a bit more urgency in their exchanges, and it ends with Cougar sending Mitico out of the ring with a head-scissors take down, Cougar then goes for the dive only for Capitao Brasil Jr to move across the apron and cut Cougar off. The Sons now had Cougar isolated in their corner , which lead to them working some neat double teams that included El Mitico Suplexing his own Tag partner into a splash onto Cougar. But Cougar was able to get the tag in eventually when he was able to take both of the Sons down with a moonsault press. When Fox Mask tagged in he nailed El Mitico with a step up Enziguri, before turning his attention to Capitao Brasil Jr. Fox Mask then set up for the Fox Flip off DDT but was clubbed from behind by El Mitico Jr, who then scooped FM onto his shoulders into the Electric chair position.....Capitao Brasil Jr then headed up top.....but Masked Cougar saw what was coming and ran half way across the ring, to send Capitao crashing into the ring with a superplex. At the same time Fox Mask then countered into Victory Roll.....but El Mitico Jr was able to kick out. Animal Magic then went up for the Last Hunt but Mitico managed to block, before turning Cougar inside out with a lariat and then planting Fox Mask into the mat with a Reverse STO. Mitico then scooped up Fox Mask and drove him into the mat with the Mitico Driver.....that looked to have won the Sons of Lucha Libre the Titles but at the last split second Masked Cougar dove across to make the save. Cougar then ducked under a lariat attempt from Mitico, before drilling the larger member of the Sons of Lucha Libre with the Cougar Pounce, only for Capitao Brasil Jr to make the save as he went for the cover with a Samba Roll (Forward Roll Senton Bomb). Capitao then tagged himself back into the match as Masked Cougar remained planted to the canvas, before heading up toward to set up for the Fall From Rio, only for Masked Cougar to stagger back to his feet and cut him off, Fox Mask then joined Cougar on the top rope and the pair set up for the assisted Fox Flip off DDT. But El Mitico Jr had gotten back to his feet, got underneath everyone else and sent Animal Magic and his own Tag partner crashing back into the ring with a Powerbomb ! The 'Tower of Doom' spot left everyone laying on the canvas and Brett Graveson who was quickly losing control applied a double count. El Mitico Jr and Masked Cougar stirred first....Mitico side stepped out of the way of the Cougar Pounce and then dumped Cougar with the Quicksilver Suplex, but as he made the cover Fox Mask drilled him with the Fox Hunter ! and due to Capitao Brasil only just coming to his senses that proved to be enough for Animal Magic to finally put the Sons of Lucha Libre away. This was certainly one of the better Tag Title matches in FCW History. This was wall to wall action, and though logic would tell you that the heel team should be in the final two, W.O.V Golds early elimination allowed for Animal Magic and the Sons of Lucha Libre to serve up something a little different to the formula. [B][COLOR=red]Result: Animal Magic defeated W.O.V Gold and The Sons of Lucha Libre in 14:02; the order of elimination was W.O.V Gold first, and finally The Sons of Lucha Libre.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red][COLOR=purple]Animal Magic retain the FCW Tag Team titles.[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red]Rating: C-[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=black][I]Fox Mask and Masked Cougar are celebrating their hard fought title victory when Soul Krusher and Mainstream Hernandez hit the ring and attack the champions from behind.

The frightenignly fast Fire Fly got in a good amount of offence in on the monsterous Krusher , that included him almost stealing the win with the El Cristo (spinning head-scissors into crucifix pin) but the fans never really bought into the diminutive high flyer being able to topple his considerably larger opponent and it came to no ones surprise when Krusher was finally able to catch Fire Fly and then dump the ultra quick masked man with the Dead Man Walking (Swinging Side Slam) to pick up the victory.

Mr Electricity got a pretty positive reaction from the crowd, as he came out to 'Good Times' by Kool and the Gang but the crowd were not treated to some dance moves as Phoenix Negra snuck in through the crowd and attacked the disco dancin' one before the bell had sounded. It was all Negra in the early going but Electricity gritted it out and with the crowd behind him, began to fight back, and when Negra went for the springboard roundhouse kick Electricity caught him in mid-flight and reversed into the Lightnin' Rod (Falcon Arrow), Negra just about managed to kicked out but that brought Electricity mightily close to an upset. Negra managed to fight his way back into the match but Electricity was now a step ahead, and he looked set to put Negra away, when he turned the masked man inside out with clothesline and then set up for the Move#54 (Forward Russian Leg-sweep) but Negra managed to block and then countered with a leg-sweep of his own. Negra then punted Electricity in the head, before drilling the flamboyant indian disco dancer with a Brainbuster. Electricity dug down deep to kick out but remained rooted to the mat and Negra decided to go up top, but as Negra went for the Phoenix Splash Electricity managed to roll out of the way, however Negra managed to land on his feet and as Electricity got back to a vertical base Negra tagged him with an Enziguri, before dumping Electricity onto his head with the Elemental Suplex (Double arm German suplex) to secure the expected victory.

At one point it looked like ADB might just sneak the victory, when aided by Lisa Bowen distracting Brett Graveson he went for the 'Green Box' but Primus was ready and clotheslined the box out of ADB's hands, that then lead to the Rruuusshh, to put the seal on a dominating performance for the enforcer of the FREEDOM-5 stable.

You see before you revealed that your partner would be KC Glenn, we weren't prepared...now me and Jared here are prepared.

That lead to Glenn playing 'Spencer Marks' for a long stretch and had Devine and Johnson been a little more clinical, rather than being desperate to humiliate the newest addition to FREEDOM-5, then they could have had the match put away. But when Devine when for a face-wash Glenn was able to catch the leg and then drive Devine face-first into the turnbuckle. Glenn then with a burst of energy charged out of the corner to plant Johnson with an STO, before slumping to the mat and crawling desperately across to get the tag into Dean Daniels. Unfortuntely for him though Devine was up first, and after knocking Daniels off the apron was able to cut the ring back off in half. Devine then whipped Glenn back into the Devine Right corner but the Louisiana born youngster was able to slide under the bottom rope and then take Devine by surprise with a springboard drop-kick. Glenn with his last ounceof energy left then rolled across to his corner and this time was able to get the tag into Dean Daniels. A fresh and motivated Dean Daniels came in like the proverbial house on fire, as Devine and Johnson were unable to make a two on one advantage in the ring count. With Devine back-dropped out of the ring....Daniels turned his sole attention to Jared Johnson.......and after reeling in the Carolina born youngster he set up for the Raise The Stakes, only for Devine to roll back into the ring and chop block Daniels from behind. Devine and Johnson then set up for a double team suplex, only for Daniels to break free and then level the Devine Right pair with a double clothesline. Daniels then took Johnson over with a release belly to belly suplex, before doing the same to Devine the force of which sent both tumbling out of the ring. At that point KC Glenn was perched atop the top turnbuckle and the youngster from New Orleans launched himself off with a flipping dive, that saw him wipe out the Devine Right pair. Glenn then pitched Jared Johnson into the ring, where Dean Daniels was waiting...to drill the man from North Carolina with the RAISE THE STAKES ! (Cradle Piledriver)........ That looked to have the match won for the FREEDOM-5 duo only for Devine to break free of KC Glenn shackles and dive into the ring just in time to break up the three count. Devine then knocked KC Glenn back off the apron only for Dean Daniels to positon himself for a German Suplex but Devine was able to fight his way out, and as Daniels set him into the ropes, Devine was able to seize the advantage back with the Devine Intervention (Springboard back elbow). Devine then set up for the Devine Dream Drop but Daniels was able to block, drill Devine with a stiff fore-arm smash and then suddenly have the arm of Devine trapped. Devine suddenly found himself on the receiving end of Daniels relentless barrage of knee strikes, but fortunately for Devine he was relatively near enough to the ropes to force a rope break. Lisa Bowen then got up on the apron and caused enough for a distraction......for Jared Johnson to sneak in and lay out Daniels with the 'Green Box' , meanwhile KC Glenn was also laying on the floor and one had to summise that he too had been laid out with the foreign object. As Graveson turned his attention back to the match, he witnessed Devine getting the tag into Johnson, oblivious as to what happened. Johnson then sauntered across to a dazed Dean Daniels and taunted the FREEDOM-5 leader to get up,....Daniels began to rise to his feet but was met with a boot to the head, before Johnson made a weak and arrogant cover, where he failed to hook the leg. Daniels had enough left in the tank to kick out and began to fight back, but the rally was cut short when Johnson went to the eyes and then drilled Daniels into the mat with an implant DDT. Double J went for the cover again, only for Daniels to kick out again. With Johnson now eager to put Daniels away, he placed the longest reigning People's champ into the Carolina Crossface. Johnson really wrenched back on the hold and Daniels look set to tap, but KC Glenn was back up and climbed to the top turnbuckle, before breaking up the hold with a 450 Splash !! Both Daniels and Johnson then laid on the canvas, before crawling across to try and get the tag in first....Daniels was first to tag in Glenn....who ducked under clothesline attempt from Johnson before knocking Devine off the apron......and then use the momentum to rebound back and take Johnson's head off with TUNE UP THE SUNSHINE BAND ! (Rebound Yazuza Kick)........ Graveson then slapped the canvas three times to ensure that FREEDOM-5 completed a clean sweep on the night and to truly announce their arrival as a force to contend with not just for Devine Right but for the whole of FCW. Not an out-right classic or anything but this was a good tag match that pitched a nice balance between solid storytelling and thrilling action.

The beginning of the match see's some chain wrestling exchanges that Ultimate Phoenix comes out on top of, this begins to frustrate Hernandez, who goes for swings wildy with a spin kick that Phoenix manages to duck under, and then counter with a leg-sweep. That leads to the Mainstreamer going out for powder......Phoenix eager to keep the pressure sets up for his trademark plancha but puts the brakes on when he see's Soul Krusher place himself in front of Hernandez. Phoenix then patiently waits for the Mainstreamer to get into the ring. Hernandez is no in hurry though and paces around , before finally climbing back in and when Phoenix moves in, it is Hernandez who is able to seize the advantage with a thumb to the eye and a back-rake. Hernandez then takes Phoenix over with a snap suplex for a two count, before stomping away on the champion. Hernandez then drops down and placing Phoenix in a headlock begins to tear away at the mask of the champion.....drawing a warning from Bret Graveson. The Mainstreamer then whips Phoenix into the ropes before sending the champion throat first onto bottom rope with a drop toe hold. That lead to Hernandez 'choking' Phoenix in the ropes, drawing another warning from Graveson and as Hernandez argued with FCW's resident referee that enabled Soul Krusher to come across and land a couple of blows on the champion. With Phoenix dazed and gasping for air, the Mainstreamer went of the cover...... One..... Two...... Phoenix kicked out, causing the Mainstreamer to have a hissy fit over the fact that his dirty tricks had been unable to put the champion away. Hernandez then turned his attention back to Phoenix, taunting the champion to get up. Phoenix then staggered to his feet and the Mainstreamer lined up for a Superkick but the champion ducked under and then swept the legs out from underneath Hernandez. Then as both got back to their feet Phoenix snapped off a head-scissors take down, before transitioning the shifting momentum into a quebrada..... One..... Two...... Hernandez was able to kick out but Phoenix kept the pressure on with a rapid combination of kicks and strikes that had Hernandez in enough of a daze for Phoenix to dump the challenger onto his head with an Elemental Suplex....... One...... Two...... Thr...... Hernandez managed to kick out but remained rooted to the mat and Phoenix headed up for the top turnbuckle, but Soul Krusher began to move towards the ring apron and his prescence was enough for Phoenix to take his eye of the ball for a split second, allowing for Hernandez to get back to his feet and when Phoenix did launch himself off the top he found himself turned inside out with a great defensive drop-kick from the Mainstreamer. Hernandez then waited for Phoenix to stagger back to his feet before drilling the champion with a SUPERKICK !! One..... Two...... Thr....... To Hernandez growing frustration, Phoenix managed to kick out. Hernandez then lifted a groggy Phoenix back up to a vertical base and set up for the Pontiac to Home, but Phoenix managed to fight out with a elbows to the side of the head....... Phoenix then landed a kick to the mid-section and tried for the Flaming Driver only for Hernandez to block...this then segued into them exchanging strikes with neither one of them giving an inch. Hernandez then sent landed a telling blow with a roundhouse kick that had Phoenix staggered but as Phoenix came back off the ropes, as Hernandez lined up for another superkick, the champion was able to duck under and then carry the momentum forward into his trademark no hands plancha that saw him wipeout Soul Krusher on the outside of the ring. Phoenix then launched himself back into the ring with a springboard, where he snapped off a head-scissors take down, that disorientated Hernandez. The Mainstreamer then stumbled into a kick to the mid-section, that lead to Phoenix setting up for the Flaming Driver but Hernandez managed to block and counter with a DDT he immediately transitioned into a guillotine choke. The Mainstreamer had the submission locked on right in the middle of the ring and Phoenix looked to be fading, could we be looking at our second surprise title switch of the night.... Graveson checked on Phoenix...... The arm dropped down...... Graveson takes another look..... Still no response........ Graveson with one more look......... Phoenix isn't about to give up the title just yet and starts to stir. The champion begins to fight back with elbows to the gut, but his flurry his cut short as Hernandez spikes Phoenix back into the mat with another DDT. With Phoenix down, the Mainstreamer feeling he has the match sewn up heads up top and sets up for the Apparition #14 (Moonsault Leg Drop)...... But Phoenix moves out of the way at the last split second..... They both stagger to their feet.......Phoenix lands a spin-kick, he then sweeps the legs out from underneath Hernandez......... Standing PHOENIX FIREBIRD SPLASH !! One........ Two....... Three !!! Ultimate Phoenix survives a stiff challenge from Mainstream Hernandez and is still the Undisputed Champion. Even though this looked to be a 'filler' title defence for Phoenix on paper, these two put on a really good match. What the match did show, is that Hernandez is capable of moving up to the main event and it's more of a matter when, rather than if he moves up to that next level.

[CENTER][B][U]June in Review[/U][/B][/CENTER] Esto Signica Guerra II was another solid show, though the general feeling is that we aren't quite producing our very best yet but we're not far off and we seem to have found a level of consistency that is perhaps missing from some of our 'rival' promotions on the independent circuit. Running one show this month saw us make about another $24'000, it's likely that we will go with just one show next month as well, before we switch to a multiple show month with the Camino De Reyes and Rey De Reyes events in August, one of those events will probably be held in the Tri-State Region, to help us maintain the following we have built up in that region. One thing that really doesn't help our plans for the next few months, is the fact that K.C Glenn who we revealed to be the mystery member of FREEDOM-5 has signed up with PGHW to go on tour with them, add that to the fact he already works for WLW in Japan and the situation is that he is basically unavailable for the next few months. Whilst I don't begrudge Glenn trying to make a success of himself and it's very clear he see's his long term wrestling future in Japan, the timing of his decision to go on tour with PGHW is far from helpful to us and it's going to result in some of planned feuds/storylines being re-written. On a positive note two of our current champions Ultimate Phoenix and Fox Mask signed contract extensions. Fox Mask asked for a pay rise that almost took him into four figure territory and though we are looking to cut back on what we pay some of our mid-carders it was felt that Fox Mask had done enough to earn his pay rise and that alongside his tag partner Masked Cougar he plays a vital role on the roster as a lynch-pin of the Tag Division. Ultimate Phoenix it has to be said is one of the most professional and nicest wrestlers you are ever going to meet and it's a pleasure to have him as one of our star performers on the roster. No one deserves his current success more than Phoenix. Despite the fact he also holds the main Titles in OLLIE and CZCW, he always gives his best for us everytime he steps into that ring. [CENTER]____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]Rival Promotion Watch[/U][/B][/CENTER] CZCW followed up last months return to form with their second consecutive strong show with Surf Slam 2012 (B-). A generally average card, saved the best for last where Ultimate Phoenix made an excellent defence of the Coastal Zone Championship against Donnie J (B+). MAW put on a very good show this month, with All for One (C+) that perhaps deserved a better overall rating given the strength of it's main event and semi main event. The main event saw Johnny Martin end the Mid Atlantic Title run of Mean Jean Cattley (B-) but that was perhaps over-shadowed by a superb match that saw JD Morgan defeat Jay Chord (B) and James Hernandez also had an excellent match with Bulldozer Brandon Smith near the start of the card (B-). There was also some not so good stuff, meaning that the show was a little inconistent but in my honest opinion MAW deserved at least a B- rated show this month. NYCW's Showtime was average fare (C) with the main event being a Tag match that saw Ryan Powell team with Honest Frank to defeat Steve Flash and Rudy Velasquez (C), whilst Andre Jones made a succesful defence of the Empire Title against Greg Rayne (C-) in the semi main event. Whilst I think we are still matching up well with our 'rivals' we perhaps need to up our game next month, if we want to get back to the level we were at the start of the year.

Another veteran wrestler, Stig Svensson of UEW could also have suffered a career threatening injury after shattering his knee. SWF's American Machine is suffering with a Strained Rotator Cuff, it is expected that he will work through the injury whilst also getting treatment during a reduced schedule. The intense schedule of Eisaku Hoshino who splits his time between WLW and BHOTWG could be taking his toll after it was reported he was working through Chronic Lower Back Pain. [B]Worker Retirements[/B] The legendary Sam Strong announced that he would he retiring from the Wrestling Business all together this month. Strong was a nine time World champion with SWF, HGC and with BHOTWG in Japan and was arguably the most popular wrestler of all time. Strong who still owns a major shareholding in USPW handed over all operations of rhe promotion to his daughter Alicia last month. Whilst one legend decided to move into full retirement, another is hung up his wrestling boots one final time this month as Haruki Kudo called time on his career at the Age of 48. Kudo who was perhaps better known for his Hooded Kudo alter-ego, retired as the Burning World Champion where he defeated Yasunobo Masuno in his final match. Kudo who is most associated with the BHOTWG promotion where he was a Six Time World Champion, but he also enjoyed a great four year run with NOTBPW between 1992 and 1996 where (working under his real name) he twice won their top belt the Canadian Title. With such a storied career it was to no one's surprise that Haruki 'Hooded' Kudo was honoured with entry into the Hall of Immortals. Randall Hopkirk last seen in the USPW promotion called time on his wrestling career this month. Hopkirk first made his name in the TWL promotion during the early nineties, where as part of the Bandit's Tag Team, where alongside Danny Rushmore (Bandit #2) he twice won their Tag Titles. When TWL folded Hopkirk's career floundered as he drifted around a variety of promotions. However in 2001 he caught a major break when HGC looking to put together a 'rock band' stable hired Hopkirk as the 'bass player'. Once again it was in the Tag ranks where Hopkirk enjoyed success, where along side B.J Shearer he won the HGC/TCW Tag Team Titles on three occasions and he also briefly enjoyed moderate singles success with the promotion when he won the HGC Hardcore Title in 2003. However after a solid eight year run with HGC.TCW, Hopkirk was released from the promotion in the Summer of 2009. Hopkirk was then picked up by the USPW promotion, where resurrecting the Bandit character he begun his career with he enjoyed his first real main event level push of his career, where during his three year with the promotion he won the World Title, the World Tag Team Title and twice won the Television Title. Four Time NOTBPW Womens Champion Melody Cuthill also decided to retire from active in-ring competion this month. [B]Title Changes[/B] A new World Champion will be crowned for BHOTWG on their next tour, following the retirement of Hooded Kudo and Red Panther (Ed Larkins) claimed the Openweight Title for the second time. The Best of the Super Juniors Tournament also took place this month and it saw Elemental III defeat Marihito Masuko, Hyosuke Kokan and Sensational Dragon on the way to achieving his second triumph in the tournament. Dragon defeated Yoshii Shiomi and Eagle Kawasawa to reach the finals, whilst the remaining first round particpants were Red Panther and VENOM. Destiny of the Soldiers of Fortune regained the CGC Canadian Title from Philip LaGrenier to become the champion for a second time. Byron finally brought to an end the dominant 30 month reign of Bam Bam Johannson to become the EWA Universal Champion for a second time. GCG's Yasuhide Tayama had a great month, firstly defeating Greg Keith to claim the Openweight Title and then teaming up with the recently returning Barry Griffin to claim the Tag Titles for the fifth time in his career (though his first alongside his new Tag partner) Danny Patterson ended the 13 month reign of Joss Thompson to reclaim the MOSC UK Championship and become a three time champion. A new 'era' was ushered in MAW as Mean Jean Cattley's impressive 19 month long Mid Atlantic Championship reign was brought to an end by Johnny Martin. One of the major shocks of the year has come in NOTBPW where the Canadian Title reign of Bruce The Giant was brought to an end by career Tag Team specialist Dallas McWade. SWARM I teamed with Championa Jr ended the six month reign of Phoenix I and Velocidad to claim the Campeones de Parejas in OLLIE. Remmy Skye ended the 17 month long reign of Frankie Future to become the new PSW National Champion. For once this may be a rare case where PSW have made a noticeably positive move by putting one of their belts on someone who isn't some washed up has been. You'll never guessed what happenend in SOTBPW this month...... OK you probably have guessed it, Pirata Malvado has won the Campeon de Menor Title let again this month, to win the title for a record setting tenth time. Rick Law finally made the step up to bonafide main event star when he ended the near year long reign of Joey Minnesota to become the new World Champion in TCW and Fumihiro Ota ended the three month reign of Enygma to become a seven time All Action Champion. Sergei Kalashnov ended the 18 month reign of Stig Svensson to become a two time UEW World Champion. Freddy Huggins defeated the soon to retire Randall 'The Bandit' Hopkirk for the USPW Television Title.

[CENTER][B][U][SIZE=3][COLOR=teal]Delorean Driver.com[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B] [U][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=teal]Your Top Wrestling News Site[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/U][/CENTER] [B]Notes From A Small Island:[/B] FCW present their latest show Predominancia on Tuesday July 17th. Once again the show will take place at the Ricardo Montenez Ballroom in San Juan. The main event will see long time foes Ultimate Phoenix and Phoenix Negra battle it out for the Undisputed Championship in a Ladder War ! A series of ladder based attacks over the past few months by Negra led to Phoenix becoming somewhat irritated by the actions of his rival, causing the champion himself to challenge Negra to a ladder match. Has Negra got into the head of his rival and forced the match he wants to take the Twin Belts or has Phoenix called his rivals bluff. Whoever is able to climb the ladder and take down one of the 'Twin Belts' to become the Undisputed Champion, this match promises to be another in a series of thrilling 'classics' between the masked rivals. The semi main event will be a faction leaders 4 Corner Survival as Darryl Devine (Devine Right), Angel De Mexico (Lucha Equity Alliance), Da Power (W.O.V Gold) and Dean Daniels (FREEDOM-5) face off against one another to put a marker down for just who is the dominant faction in FCW. Charles Rainier caused a major shock when he pinned Bulldozer Brandon Smith for the People's Championship at the Esto Signica Guerra II event last month and he will make his first defence against 'Speed Machine' Marc Speed. Can Rainier prove that he is not a fluke champion or will the in-form Speed Machine end Rainier's Title reign in just his first defence ? Animal Magic will be faced with their latest test as Tag Team Champions, when they go up against 'Mainstream Nation' the recently formed duo consisting of the increasingly unstable Mainstream Hernandez and the monsterous Soul Krusher. W.O.V Gold and the Sons of Lucha Libre face off in a singles of singles matches against one another as Big Eazy takes on El Mitico Jr and Nicky R!ot goes up against Capitao Brasil Jr and it will be Devine Right versus FREEDOM-5 in singles action as Jared Johnson goes on on one with Primus. Rounding out the main show Amazing Fire Fly faces off with Devine Right's Arthur Dexter Bradley. The pre-show matches will see Bradford Peverall team up with Mr Electricity to take on Joe Benning & Leftie Wilkes and Remmy Honeyman will get another chance to prove that he is worthy of a spot on the FCW roster when he faces off with Matt Hocking, who is looking to get back on form since being uncerimoniously dumped from Devine Right.

Undisputed Championship (Ladder War): [B]Ultimate Phoenix[/B] vs Phoenix Negra - Time to see who's under the mask? Or is this going to be MvM at Rey de Reyes? Faction Leaders 4CS: Angel De Mexico vs Darryl Devine vs [B]Da Power[/B] vs Dean Daniels - Sorta feeling a bit sorry for PRP right now. I can't quite explain why... People's Championship: [B]Charles Rainier[/B] vs Speed Machine - No first-time loss Tag Team Championship: [B]Animal Magic[/B] vs Mainstream Nation - SK should be nowhere near holding a title... [B]Big Eazy[/B] vs El Mitico Jr - He needs a win [B]Nicky R!ot[/B] vs Capitao Brasil Jr - Logically, this should be Capitao, but the Sons of Lucha can stand a clean sweep here [B]Jared Johnson[/B] vs Primus - He needs a win, and I can't see Primus being the top man of F5, so... [B]Amazing Fire Fly[/B] vs Arthur Dexter Bradley - Because ADB can't beat an egg [B]Peverall & Electricity[/B] vs Benning & Wilkes - Yeah. [B]Matt Hocking[/B] vs Remmy Honeyman - On the bubble after his turn, and Honeyman seems to be the new Mr. Electricity

Undisputed Championship (Ladder War): [B]Ultimate Phoenix[/B] vs Phoenix Negra [I]The war continues as UP gets the win again.[/I] Faction Leaders 4CS: Angel De Mexico vs [B]Darryl Devine[/B] vs Da Power vs Dean Daniels [I]Let's face it, this is really between Devine Right and FREEDOM-5 although Sons of Lucha Libre leader Angel Del Mexico could once again look dangerous by slipping in a win. However, Devine's a better cheater than Da Power so DR gets the win.[/I] People's Championship: [B]Charles Rainier[/B] vs Speed Machine [I]This is YOUR time, TK! Have a lengthy reign and do what Daniels did for the title but only better.[/I] Tag Team Championship: [B]Animal Magic[/B] vs Mainstream Nation [I]Animal Magic have way too much time together as a tag team so Mainstream Nation will fall.[/I] [B]Big Eazy[/B] vs El Mitico Jr [I]WOV's jobber has to win sometime yet El Mitico Jr. could look good in the end.[/I] [B]Nicky R!ot[/B] vs Capitao Brasil Jr [I]I see Capitao Brasil Jr. in the same slot as Big Eazy in the WOV as a jobber. Going up against a former two-time tag team champion in R!ot won't change that status anytime soon.[/I] [B]Jared Johnson[/B] vs Primus [I]I don't care how powerful Primus is. . .or how big. . .or how--dang, TK! I still choose Jared Johnson.[/I] Amazing Fire Fly vs [B]Arthur Dexter Bradley[/B] [I]Green box!![/I] [B]Peverall & Electricity[/B] vs Benning & Wilkes [I]I hate seeing Peverall so low on the card, but in your hands I think he'll be fine.[/I] [B]Matt Hocking[/B] vs Remmy Honeyman [I]Hocking turned face real well and will look to capitalize on that against Remmy.[/I]

Undisputed Championship (Ladder War): Ultimate Phoenix vs [B]Phoenix Negra[/B] [I]I predict both a win and a de-masking![/I] Faction Leaders 4CS: Angel De Mexico vs Darryl Devine vs [B]Da Power[/B] vs Dean Daniels [I]It's a tough call really, but I think Da Power picks up a win to help get his momentum back on track. Or if he'll just get jobbed out, Darryl Devine picks up the win to offset the other faction wins earlier.[/I] People's Championship: [B]Charles Rainier[/B] vs Speed Machine [I]CR adds a title defence to his street cred[/I] Tag Team Championship: Animal Magic vs [B]Mainstream Nation[/B] [I]Animal Magic have held the title for awhile AND Mainstream Nation has far more storyline potential w/ Mainstream then Animal Magic does. Plus with the 5 orange track suits running around, a new face tag team is going to need heel champions to feud with. A.M. have had their time in the spotlight, now it's someone elses turn.[/I] Big Eazy vs [B]El Mitico Jr[/B] [I]Sons of Lucha Libre REALLY need some wins to be a credible stable. Plus Big Eazy is showing signs of being the weakest link of WOV and this will just reinforce that mentality[/I] [B]Nicky R!ot[/B] vs Capitao Brasil Jr [I]Even though nicky doesn't need it, I predict WOV interference[/I] Jared Johnson vs [B]Primus[/B] [I]Primus picks up the win[/I] Amazing Fire Fly vs [B]Arthur Dexter Bradley[/B] [I]W.O.V needs a win and Amazing Fire Fly is your favorite jobber of the year at the moment[/I] [B]Peverall & Electricity[/B] vs Benning & Wilkes [I]Push! Singh![/I] [B]Matt Hocking [/B]vs Remmy Honeyman [I]No idea who Remmy is. My hope is Hocking gets a bit of a push.[/I]
