foolinc Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 [QUOTE=Bigpapa42;645309]So when you look back at what you could've/should've/would've done, does it actually make you want to start over? I find I get that temptation with my diary every so often, when I look back on what I did and what I would change. As I said a page or two ago, this would be a diary I would genuinely miss if and when it does end. That said, if it means you moving on to another new project, then I guess it would have a bit of upside... But I do hope you keep going with FCW...[/QUOTE] I agree on both parts. Part of the reason that I write diaries is to force me from failing into the temptation to restart a game because of the could've, should've, would'ves.

Phantom Stranger Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 [QUOTE=Tigerkinney;645298] Even though I feel like I've hit a bit of a 'brick wall', I'll be carrying on and seeing if I can break through the 'brick wall' so to speak.[/QUOTE] While it's an outside perspective, I strongly suspect that you can make it - provided that you play financially conservatively, with just the occasional foray into the Tri-State to keep yourself over there, and then spreading out as you go to add more regions in. If you can hit the point where you can maintain profitability on a two-show-per-month basis, you can grow a lot of secondary territories to get you in position to eventually safely punch through into Cult.

Tigerkinney Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 [CENTER][B][I][U][SIZE=3][COLOR=teal]Delorean Driver.com[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/I][/B] [I][B][U][SIZE=3][COLOR=teal]Your Top Wrestling News Site[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B][/I][/CENTER] [B]Notes From A Small Island:[/B] FCW return once again to the Ricardo Montenez Ballroom in San Juan on Tuesday 9th October, where the new Undisputed Champion Darryl Devine will make his first defence of the Twin Belts. He faces a tough challenge however as he will have to fend off the double challenge of previous champion Ultimate Phoenix and the man who laid him out at the end of Anniversario, Phoenix long standing rival Phoenix Negra. FCW officials felt that Ultimate Phoenix deserved a re-match, but with Negra likely to prove to be a loose cannon and intefere in another match between Devine and Phoenix, FCW felt it was best to throw Negra into the mix. Devine is said to be less than pleased about this decision, and has said that FCW officials are just determined to see him 'fail' as champion by making him go through an extremely tough first defence and with two former Undisputed Champions to face off against in the same match it certainly will be a immediate 'test' of teh Devine Right leader's reign with the Twin Belts. Charles Rainier who is so far proving resillient as the People's champion, since his upset win over Bulldozer Brandon Smith at Esto Signica Guerra II in June and this time he faces the challenge of the leader of the Lucha Equity Alliance Angel De Mexico. Some people may be surprised to learn that the Patriotic Mexican has not won FCW Gold, since 2009 when he held the same People's Title that Rainier currently holds and even though Angel will have respect for his opponent (unlike Rainier's recent challengers from Devine Right) he will be determined to once again get his hands on a title. Following their win over the Devine Right duo of Bulldozer Brandon Smith & Arthur Dexter Bradley, the tandem being dubbed as 'HockPrime' Matt Hocking and Primus will get another opportunity to challenge for the Tag Team Championships currently held by the so far dominant Mainstream Nation (Mainstream Hernandez & Soul Krusher). Last time they challenged for the titles it was to answer an open challenge laid out by Hernandez, where they came up short. However this time with more experience behind them as the team they may well provide a sterner test for the champions. There will be more Tag Team action as Animal Magic take on Dance2Win as both teams look to re-establish themselves as contenders for the Tag Team Titles and given both teams history with the champion, they will be determined to not only have a chance to win Championship gold but to have the chance to gain a little revenge on the Mainstream Nation. Dean Daniels request for a match with the man who attacked him at the end of his match last month against Malilli Umaga has been granted as the FREEDOM-5 leader will step in the ring with the monsterous Pacific Islander Java. Daniels win last month over Umaga probably put him back in contention for the Undisputed Championship and the action's of Java appear to have moved his focus away from that goal for the time being. Umaga who's re-action to Java's attack on Daniels, seems to suggest he may have something to do with bringing the former USPW Tag champion into FCW will look to get back on the winning after suffering consecutive losses to Ultimate Phoenix and Dean Daniels when he faces off with a man determined to prove himself worthy of a spot on the FCW roster Remmy Honeyman. One man who did make a triumphant return to FCW last month was Amo De Gato, but the masked luchador faces a tough task to stay on the winning track when he faces off with the newest member of Devine Right Nicky R!ot. Rounding out the main show Captain Morgan makes a rare main show appearance but faces the uneviable task of stepping in the ring with the dangerous 'Speed Machine' and one half of the Sons of Lucha Libre El Mitico Jr will step into the ring with the newest member of the Mainstream Nation the leather clad 'Spirit.

Tigerkinney Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Balls'd up on the pre-show match it's actually a three way with Capitao, ADB and Big Eazy. Anyone who has already predicted may want to change their predictions, at least I made a mistake with that and not one of the major matches.

[COLOR=navy][B]Dean Daniels:[/B] Java if you wanted a piece of me, you could have challenged me like a real man but instead you attack me from behind, after I spent a load of energy earning a hard fought victory a victory that should have put me back in the title picture...[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]But for now I'm forced to ignore those ambitions, over the mere fact that you weren't prepared to challenge me face to face. You may be the size of a monster but inside you're just a cowardly boy I bet, a cowardly boy unable to make decisions of his own. I know you didn't attack me over your own free-will and given his reaction after the attack, I have a pretty good idea who set you up for this.

This was a fast paced competiive three way with Capitao and ADB forming a somewhat un-easy alliance to take out Big Eazy......ADB of course soon turned on Capitao clipping his opponent from behind and goign for a quick roll up but the LEA member soon turned the tables on ADB and got the Devine Right man caught in his inverted Figure Four Submission (A Prayer For Mercy).... Big Eazy came back in to break that up and then lifted Capitao up for the Natural Ending Powerbomb only for Capitao to counter into a Victory Roll. Capitao then snapped off a swinging DDT on Eazy before heading up top but before he could launch off with the Fall From Rio, Eazy was back to his feet and was soon slamming Capitao to the mat with the Natural Ending....Unfortnately for the man determined to keep the W.O.V Gold name alive an argument between Lisa Bowen and his manager Carl Batch had a certain Brett Graveson distracted that allowed for ADB to sneak in with the Green Box....smash the foreign object over Eazy's head and steal the victory away from Eazy with a quick roll up.

In the space of just two months I defended the Rey De Reyes and then bettered your beloved Ultimate Phoenix to claim something I should have claimed a long time ago the Twin Belts. Finallly these belts are in the possession of someone worthy of being called Undisputed Champion.[/COLOR] [I]Devine's insufferable arrogance is met with more boos from the crowd...Devine just laps it up though, revelling in their hatred, before continuing with his self congratulating spiel[/I] [COLOR=darkred]The false idols who held this belt before, do not pail in comparison to me...you see Power, Phoenix, JD Morgan and even Negra (Devine's tone is noticeably bitter when he says Negra) were all good champions, I'm gratious enough to give them that but none of them were Devine ![/COLOR] [I]Suddenly Devine's mood turns from smug to more agitated, you could even say angry.[/I] [COLOR=darkred]Now you'd think with a man of my calibre, the Powers that be would show me some damn respect but instead they are making me defend these belts in a triple threat...against the man who I proved to be better than Ultimate Phoenix and the man who attacked me after I won this title....Phoenix Negra.[/COLOR] [I]After pacing round for a bit, Devine continues on with his rant[/I] [COLOR=darkred]Answer me this what sort of company, rewards someone for blindsiding someone after they have worked their butt off to achieve something. You should all be grateful that I am standing here, able to defend the belt tonight after Negra's cowardly attack on me.

The finishing sequence came when Hocking got the hot-tag into Primus, who knocked Hernandez out of the ring with a shoulder block and then went to toe to toe with Soul Krusher, after stunning Krusher with a flurry of fore-arms smashes, in an impressive feat of strength Primus scooped up Krusher before slamming the 'monster' onto the mat with a Power-Slam...before turning it over to Matt Hocking who climbed the top-rope and came crashing down upon Krusher with a flying splash..... That looked to have earned 'HockPrime' the upset victory but Spirit armed with a barbed wire kendo stick, got up on the apron and his prescence was enough to distract Brett Graveson, that allowed Mainstream Hernandez to sneak in armed with chair, which he used to great effect to smash over the head of Hocking and then to prevent Primus from coming back into make the save. With Graveson's attention no longer diverted away...Krusher now had the already groggy Hocking upon his shoulders in the Electric chair positon...that inevitably led to the Death To the Mainstream and a succesful if rather tainted defence for the champions. Though this wasn't alot different to their first match against one another, the fans bought into 'HockPrime' more as challengers this time round and they actually looked more likely to pull out the upset win this time, with MN having to resort to using Spirit as an interference runner to help keep hold of the belts.

It has to be said that despite the potential greatness of the gimmick Morgan has earned what you call 'X-Pac' Heat due to his lack lustre in-ring performances during his tenure in FCW. This did turn out to the dismantling the fans expected/wanted and Speed Machine put Morgan away with the Speedbreaker 2000 (Cross Arm Breaker) in what will turn out to be Morgan's last match with FCW. That's perhaps a little unfair on Morgan who was beginning to show signs of improvement in his last few matches but for where he would continue to be positioned on the card he asked for a little too much money to justify extending his stay with us.

The former Tag champs Animal Magic actually played the default 'heels' here taking advantage of Mr Electricity playng to the crowd with a disco dance and then isolating the flamboyant disco dancer for a good stretch of the match and noticeably putting a bit more force behind some of their kicks, though the fans didn't really 'buy' into them in that role. Eventually Electricity got the 'hot' tag into Bradford Peverall, after Animal Magic mistimed the Last Hunt. Peverall cleaned house with a flurry of European Uppercuts before taking down Masked Cougar with his Rapid Eye Movement combo, before Fox Mask made the save by nailing Peverall with the Fox Hunter. That then drew Mr Electricity back into the ring, resulting in a two on two brawl....... Dance2Win then looked to be in control with Electricity about to plant Cougar into the mat with the Move #54 and Peverall about to drill Cougar with the Totally Totalled but both members of Animal Magic managed to slip out of the moves and nail their opponents with stereo Enzgiuri's, Cougar then downed Peverall with the I AM COUGAR HEAR ME ROAR, whilst Fox Mask took down Electricity with the Fox Flip Off DDT, before making the pin to pick up the victory and keep themselves ahead of Dance2Win in contention for a Tag Team Title shot.

Gato who was determined to build upon his victorious return at Anniversario, kept R!ot off balance in the early going with his agile offence that lead to a couple of flash pinfalls. Growing in frustration R!ot unsurpsingly decided to take a powder much to the frustration of the fans and instead of patiently waiting for R!ot to get back in the ring Gato gave chase, falling to the 'trap' and eventually being blindsided from behind by the Devine Right man. From then on it was all R!ot and despite Gato bravely kicking out after a delayed vertical suplex, he eventually succumbed to defeat, after being turned inside out with a Sub Pop Bop. Decent 'extended squash' match that made Gato look competitive in the early going but as the same time gave R!ot a convincing win by the end of the match.

You think it's not fair to be laid out like that, but I see your Devine Right buddies lay out other all the time, unlike you Devine I do not need others to do my bidding for me. You see Devine it's not about all about the gold with me, it's proving that I am in fact better than arrogant fools like you and as for Phoenix he feels he is better than me for he follows a righteous path...the path of the 'hero'.

That then lead to Java 'man handling' Daniels for a good stretch of the match. It looked like he could have had the match won with an impressive miltitary press style power-slam but Daniels bravely kicked out. Java then looked to put Daniels away with his Greeting From the Islands (Two Handed Choke Slam) but a desperate Dean Daniels managed to work his way out of it, before landing a series of elbows shots to the head of Java, only for the face painted beast to reply with a vicious headbutt and toss Daniels into the corner. Java then came charging in with a running big boot but Daniels was able to move out of the way at the last split second and Java ended up getting caught in the turnbuckle. Daniels then saw the opportunity to fire in a series of shots at Java's leg and as Java hobbled away, Daniels climbed to the top turbuckle before taking Java off his feet with a missile drop-kick. Java then hobbled back up only for Daniels to take him down with a chop block and then apply an ankle lock. It looked like Java might use his long reach to reach the ropes but Daniels sat back into grapevine and had the submission situated perfectly in the middle of the ring. Just when it looked like Java would be forced to tap or pass out....Malilli Umaga hit the ring to stomp away on Daniels blatantly in view of referee Brett Graveson, giving the referee no choice but to call for the bell and award Daniels the match via DQ. I'll hold my hands up here and say that the booking to the finish of this match was too similar to the finish of the Mitico-Spirit match that started the show. Should have gone with Java causing the DQ for himself and Malilli Umaga confirming his association with Java aftewards.

It's something that will go someone to helping the rest of F-5 trust Hocking as well as Primus.[/I] [B]Rating: D[/B] [CENTER]_____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Match #8: People's Championship: [/B] [B]Charles Rainier vs Angel De Mexico[/B] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_FCW_Peoples.jpg[/IMG] [B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_CharlesRainierF5.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ngelDeMxico.jpg[/IMG][/B][/CENTER] The early going was quite slow paced with lots of feeling out, which played into the face that there was alot of respect for either opponent. The pace did start to quicken a little after an arm-drag take down from Angel, only for myself to pop right back up and nail the patriotic masked man with a drop-kick. That lead to a two count, before I decided to go for the C.R Driver but it has to be said that I looked for that too early and Angel was able to counter into a Jack-Knife cradle. We then exchanged quick pin attempts leading into a stand-off. We locked up again and engaged in some more chain wrestling, Angel managed to work in backslide for a two count but I managed to work my way out and then catch Angel with a kick to the head.....I then took over the LEA leader with a snap suplex before heading up top, but when I launched off the top turnbuckle with the moonsault Angel moved out of the way and then swept me off my feet into another quick cradle pin. I managed to kick out but Angel was now pushing the pace as he took me down with a sequence of arm-drags that lead to me rolling out of the ring to catch a breather but Angel wasn't going to let up the pace and he came crashing through the ropes with a tope con hilo. Angel then pitched me into the ring and headed up top himself..... The Patrotic masked man then came flying off the top-rope and took me down with a head-scissors but I was able to block the transition into the Mexican Death Arm Bar and rolled through into a La Magistral Cradle. Angel kicked out and then nailed me with a drop-kick, before lifting me up and setting up for the Acapulco Twist but I was able to block that and plant Angel into the mat with a leg-sweep before taking control of the leg and putting Angel in a single leg crab but before I can transition into a full Boston Crab, the LEA leader managed to power his way to his feet and then nail me with an Enziguri. That left me staggered enough for Angel to then plant me into the mat with the Acapulco Twist........ One....... Two...... Thr......... No ! Somehow I managed to dig out enough determination to kick out and save the title. Angel paced around for a bit and then lifted me up again to go for a second consecutive Acapulco Twist but this time I was able to block and then caught Angel with a back heel kick to the mid-section. I then went for the C.R Driver but as with the first time I went for the move Angel had it scouted and took me over with a back body drop. Angel then lifted me up grabbing the leg but I was able to nail the LEA leader with an Enziguri...before planting Angel into the mat with a leg-sweep. I then headed up top and went for the moonsault.......Angel moved out of the way but I was able to land on my feet and then nail the patriotic masked man with the Raindrop (Dropsault)......before quickly rolling Angel up...... One...... Two........ Three Once again I had managed to make a succesful defence of the People's Championship and this time against a calibre of opponent many felt I would come up short against. This was a nicely wrestled contest but it just lacked that bit of spark to make it one of the more memorable People's Title matches.

They circle round for a bit, waiting for one of them to make a move....all very tense stuff. They both all simultaneous go for strikes and kicks on each other at the same time and we get a three way striking battle. Devine goes low on Ultimate Phoenix and sweeps the legs out from underneath the former champion. Devine then feeling that it would be good to try and eliminate Phoenix from the competition, invites Negra to work as a team and the pair of heels do come to an agreement even tough they clearly don't like each other. After a series of snapmares and kicking the proverbial crap out of Phoenix back. Devine orders Negra out onto the apron before planting Phoenix over his knee with a backbreaker. Negra then brings himself back into the ring but slingshots himself over Devine and then drills the Devine Right leader with a super-kick. Before rolling Devine up for a quick pin...... One..... Two...... Devine kicks out and Phoenix is back to his feet...the two 'brothers' look at each other and now they agree to work together to try and eliminate Devine from the equation.....a double team suplex plants Devine onto the mat, before Phoenix delivers a quebrada, before Negra follows in with a running shooting star press........ One...... Two.......... Phoenix breaks up the pin, much to the annoyance of Negra and Devine scrambles out of the ring to catch a breather and to seek solace within in the ample charms of Lisa Bowen. Negra and Phoenix then engage in a shoving contest before coming to blows, that transitions into a nice sequence where they try to outmanoevure one another with flashy kick combinations, including both of them going for the springboard roundhouse only for their opponent to be a step ahead in countering the move...the sequence ends with them hitting simultaneous leg-lariats on one another leading to them laying flat on the mat. At that point Devine who has been resting up sees it as an opportunity to sneak in and steal the pin but the Phoenix 'Brothers' both kip up at the same time and hit stereo drop-kicks on Devine that send the Devine right leader back out of the ring. Negra then tries to stun Phoenix with a leaping kick but the former two time champion ducks under and sweeps the legs out from underneath Negra.....Phoenix then lifts Negra up and drops his long term nemesis on his head with an Elemental Suplex......... One...... Two........ Thr.......... Negra manages to kick out but remain rooted to the mat and Phoenix heads up top but Devine is now back up on the apron and he rocks Phoenix with a fore-arm shot before joining Phoenix on the top turnbuckle. Devine tries for a superplex but Phoenix shoves him off and then launches himself off to plant Devine with a Tornado DDT but Devine actually manages to block and plants Phoenix down onto the mat with a Front Suplex. Devine then waits for Phoenix to get back to his feet before delivering a boot to the mid-section and applying his sleeper variation the Devine Dreams...throughout this though he has clearly forgotten about Negra, who comes springing off the ropes to nail Devine with a springboard Enziguri that inadevertadly leads to Devine hitting a sort of Sleeper Hold Suplex on Phoenix........... One........ Two......... Negra breaks up the pin with a kick to the head, before lifting Devine up and drilling the champion into the mat with a Brainbuster........ One........ Two........ Thr.......... Devine kicks out but the mysterious masked man immediately transitions into the Last Chancery............. Negra has the hold synched in right in the middle of the ring....... Graveson checks on Devine...... No response from the champion....... Another look from the referee...... Still no response, Phoenix is down and Devine looks set to pass out....... New champion ?........ No Phoenix dives across to make a last ditch save for his own title hopes...... The Phoenixes unload with strikes on one another once again......leg lariat from Negra takes down Phoenix....before delivering a heel kick to the mid-section he sets up for Certain Death but Phoenix has it scouted and counters into a back body drop...Negra staggers back up to his feet.....Dragon Screw Leg-whip from Phoenix Phoenix waits for Negra to limp back up to a vertical base......... FLAMING DRIVER !!! But before Phoenix can make the cover, Devine is back up and he catches Phoenix with a low blow from behind before rolling the former champion up with a quick cradle....... One....... Two....... Thr....... Phoenix manages to kick out much to the frustration of Devine....... Devine maintains control with a stiff elbow shot before setting up for the Devine Dreams.....Phoenix has it scouted though and works his way out, before going for an Enziguri but Devine ducks under and plants Phoenix into the mat with a Forward Russian Leg Sweep. Devine then lifts Phoenix back up, before taking the popular masked man over with the Devineplex (Northern Lights Suplex).......... One...... Two...... Thr...... Close but not close enough for Devine as Phoenix just about gets a shoulder up to save himself.With both Phoenix and Negra down....Devine feels condident enough to head up top, his natural arrogance taking over as he plays to the crowd...... But that arrogance proves costly as Negra spring back up and then brings Devine crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana............ One...... Two....... Devine rolls through into a Jack Knife Cradle........ One...... Two........ Both rise back to their feet and Devine takes control with a Pat Deacon Knee Lift...he sets up for the Devine Dream Drop but Negra manages to block and then responds with a roundhouse/heel-kick combination to set up the CERTAIN DEATH........ Devine looks completely out of it........ One........ Two...... Thr.......... Last ditch save from Phoenix ..... But it's Negra who maintains the ascendcy in the match as he unleashes a flurry of strikes and kicks on Phoenix that back his rival up into the corner......a fired up Negra comes charging in but is pitched over the rope by Phoenix .......Negra however lands on the apron and springboards back in to take Phoenix down with a springboard lariat....... But Devine has now staggered back up to his feet and he catches Negra with a low blow....the Devine Right leader then double under-hooks the arms and plants Negra into the mat with a Devine Dream Drop.......... One........ Two......... Thr........ Negra kicks out !! Devine looks to be noticeably frustrated that he has been unable to put Negra away.....Before contemplating what to go for next he decides to go for another Devine Dream Drop but is nailed with a roundhouse kick from Phoenix ! Phoenix looks set to head up top , but Negra kips up and nails his rival with a leaping Enziguri that see Phoenix stagger out of the ring ....Devine then pops back up and tries to take Negra by surprise with his Devine Dreams Springboard Back Elbow but Negra manages to duck under and drills Devine with a standing drop-kick that now sends the champion out of the ring. Negra winds up for the no hands somersault plancha, before launching himself over the top rope to wipe out Darryl Devine but Phoenix manages to side-step out of the way and then drills Negra with a step up Enziguri........Phoenix then lifts Negra up and drills his rival onto the floor with a Brainbuster ! As this is going on Devine staggers back into the ring but it's Phoenix who clearly looks the fresher man as he re-enters....and he manages to block a Pat Deacon Knee Lift from Devine before unleashing a lethal flurry of kicks.....the last one a high kick to the top of Devine's head that just sends the Devine Right leader slumping to the mat....... One......... Two....... Thr........ Pure instinct sees Devine get the shoulder up just in time, but Phoenix can sense victory and he heads up top...... He looks set to go for the Phoenix Firebird Splash.... Unfortunately for Phoenix though, Graveson is distracted by Jared Johnson, Nicky R!ot and Bulldozer Brandon Smith charging down the entrance ramp....Graveson orders them to the back but it's a mere diversion from the real inteference as Arthur Dexter Bradley hops upon the apron to clock Ultimate Phoenix with the Green Box. Phoenix falls into the ring ..... Devine is back up...... Pat Deacon Knee Lift, DEVINE DREAM DROP !! One...... Two........ Negra's climbing back into the ring..... Too late as Graveson makes the three count to ensure that Darryl Devine makes a succesful first defence of the Undisputed Championship. As expected these three put on an excellent main event, though if I was going to be picky I would say that they are capable of producing even better, to be honest the screwy 'Devine Right' inteference finish did take a little bit away from the match, producing groans from a good portion of the crowd but Devine is the sort of champion who will resort to any means necessary to keep hold of the title and throughout the match he looked in serious danger of dropping the Twin Belts to either Phoenix or Negra on various occasions.

Tigerkinney Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 [CENTER][B][U]October in Review[/U][/B] [/CENTER] Subida Del Rey was another solid effort, though we aren't quite delivering on all cylinders right now. We're not in a slump and we are still producing good quality shows but we were producing stronger shows near the beginning of the year and it's hard to put my finger on why some of our recent shows haven't quite been able to reach those peak levels. Running only one show did see us make a profit again, as we made around $15,000. We need to be making more of a profit though to start moving forward though, but it appears we may have reached our peak of popularity right now on the Island until we begin to attract more star names to the roster. Basically it's a case of is Senor Lopez willing to be patient regarding the growth of FCW, because if his 'baby' is going to survive he is going to accept that the promotion will be a truly Regional affair for the next few years. The only contract news this month, was the fact that we didn't offer an extension to Thomas 'Captain' Morgan...who asked for a little too much money when his contract came up for renegotiaton and though he was showing sign of improvement with his last few in ring performances he didn't do enough to justify a pay rise. [CENTER]__________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]Rival Promotion Watch[/U][/B][/CENTER] CZCW returned to 'form' last month with Hardcore Halloween 2012 (B), this mostly due to putting on the main event calibre match on in the main event as Bobby Thomas retained the CZCW Champioship in a Cage Match against the man he beat for the title last month Ultimate Phoenix (B). The rest of the card was very solid, several C-C+ matches without over-shadowing the main event. MAW continue to move back in the right direction, with their Face The Hangman Show (C+). The main event was a good affair with Johnny Martin succesfully defending the Mid Atlantic Title against Jay Chord (B-) NYCW continue to be consistently average at the moment with Last Gasp being another not exactly terrible but not exactly great show (C-). Match of the night came in the semi main event between Lee Rivera and Rick Sanders (C+) but the main event saw a disappointing Empire Title match between Andre Jones and Greg Rayne (D+) CZCW are probably the top US Indy right now, and to be honest they have been for years, it's just that occasionally pretendes like us or MAW get on hotter streak than them, but when on form they are the promotion to beat....it just depends on whether or not Cliff Anderson does not make dumb decisions like putting on non main event calibre main events. [CENTER]____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]October News and Notes From Around The Wrestling World[/U][/B][/CENTER] [B]General News[/B] A new promotion has been founded by former NOTBPW & CGC monster heel Mammoth in Minnesota (Mid West Region) called XWA. Suprisingly for a promotion founded by a near 500 Ib blob who could barely move in the ring, XWA will be a promotion based on work-rate and have an emphasis on matches being presented as sporting competition. It seems that Mammoth appreciated the work of those who could 'wrestle' whilst in NOTBPW and is probably living out his fantasties that he could actually wrestle like the Stones etc by opening up this new fed. Mammoth has decided to take a chance on giving Bob Casey another chance at being a head-booker after the failure of ELPF in Europe, a promotion with a similar mission statement about presenting wrestling like true sporting competition. Meanwhile CWWF have also changed head bookers after Cueball Lynch did not come to agreement over a new contract with the Calgary based promotion. Taking his place is long time SWF manager The Guru. Even though Lynch did a solid job with the book over there, perhaps a fresh approach is needed to help them reach that next level. [B]Worker Signings[/B] Alicia Strong will be making her long awaited debut in Japan soon, after signing a PPA deal with 5SSW. The world's leading all female promotion also bring back Rei Chikanatsu and bring in youngster Romi Yamato. CGC bring in Raphael formerly of 4C and RIPW. Former NOTBPW worker Jana Marie Bowen returns to her native Canada to sign on with CWWF. Exodus 2010 boost their roster with the additions of Quick Kick Nakao, former BHOTWG prospect Reijiro Hiraki and hotly tipped Junior Heavyweight Mercury.

Mexican Ghoul (formerly of SOTBPW) has joined MPWF. NYCW had Marc Speed and The Cannonball Kid to their roster. OLLIE have once again gone on one of their signing sprees as their roster continues to have a rather turbulent turnover of talent. Coming in this month are El Hijo Del Neutron, El Toro de Oro Jr, Guillermo Marcos, Mascara Roja Jr, former SOTBPW veteran Magik and foreign talent Jared Johnson, whilst SWARM II has been brought back. Nigel Svensson who is already based in Japan with INSPIRE, has agreed to take part in PGHW's end of year tour. PSW sign Trent Shaffer. It has been reported that Shaffer who is a star turn North of the Border with CGC will work under a different name and gimmick...these reports continually mention the name 'Delicious Danny'. RIPW bring in veteran Johnny Martin and one time back yard wrestler Super Sonic on PPA deals. Josh Jones joins SAISHO on a PPA deal. SWF were dealt yet another blow, when yet another of their star names left for rivals TCW, as Sean Martyn better known as Skull DeBones became the latest star name to make the jump. SWF do however have the rights on the Skull DeBones name and Martyn will work under the name of Ares in TCW. UEW bring in former EWA talent Roberto Milano. XWA have begun to build their roster....joining up with the new promotion are Paul Steadyfast (the former TCW Tag champion, who has become a forgotten man of the business in recent years), former MAW/FCW talent D.C Rayne, another former FCW talent in Rudy Velasquez, Bradford Peverall (currently of FCW), former 4C mainstay and Canadian independent circuit darling Joey Poison, monster heel Atlas (currently on a PPA deal with SWF), NYCW's The Silencer, Nelson Callum, Canadian veteran Damian 'The Natural' Carvill and journeyman Dazzling Dave Diamond.

WLW secure Jacob Jett, announcer Isei Deushi and manager Munemori Umari to new written contracts. [B]Worker Releases/Departures[/B] 5SSW release former 4 time Tag champion Huntress Makiko. CGC decide against offering new contracts to Jerry Martin, Dazzling Dave Diamond and Ernie Turner who was working as Assassin #2. Cueball Lynch and Steph Blake were both allowed to leave CWWF. EWA do not renew the contract of Daniel Jones. Veteran Takeshi Umehara leaves INSPIRE. MAW decide against offering a new contract to Willie York. OLLIE release El Orgulluso, Fray Valiente Jr, Hexx, Heavy Metal Anarchy and Tigre Salvajr Jr as they continue to juggle around the lower end of their roster. Teddy Powell departs from PSW. Tom 'Angry' Gilmore finalises his departure from SWF. Mario Heroic fails to come to terms on a new contract with TCW. [B]Injuries[/B] INSPIRE's Tasuku Iesada suffered a minor concussion, after a wayward knee strike from Masaaki Okazaki, and will be out of action for a month. William Hayes newly acquired to WLW is working through Chronic Shoulder pain. [B]Worker Retirements[/B] Veteran Japanese journeyman Hajime Sugimatsu called time on his career at the age of 46. Sugimatsu's last notable work was back with INSPIRE where he mostly fought amongst the lower card, before that he had a run with the now defunct Japanese 'Garbage' promotion WEXVV. Mitsu 'Jade Dragon' Ariwa called time on her wrestling career. Over looked by 5SSW she found opportunties difficult to come by, due to the lack of competition to 5SSW in Japan and has decided to move on from wrestling. Mayhem Midden, a notable heel with the SWF in the 80's (though he failed to win any titles during his tenure with the promotion) has retired from the wrestling business. Midden was last seen in RIPW, adding veteran in sight and amusing antedotes on colour comentary for the SWF feeder promotion. [B]Other News[/B] Stetson Hatt, the one time FCW manager from way back in 2008, is rubbing someone up the wrong way again, as it now turns out he is getting under the skin of Doctor Insane. Frankly he's a tosser and I'm at odds as to why he's still employed by anyone. Little known Mexican luchadore Pyromaniac was caught in possession of marijuana by the Mexican police, who found a bag of the stuff after they made a routine traffic stop. A pretty poor worker Pyromaniac hasn't exactly done his chances of employment the world of good after this misdemeanour. [B]Title Changes[/B] Shane Hannigans (Kevin Jones) regained the 21CW World Title from Hugh De Aske to become a two time champion. Seiji Jimbo's latest reign as Burning World Champion comes to an end after only one month at the hands of Miyamae who becomes a three time champion and Arthur Dexter Bradley claims Championship gold in Japan as he become the Burning Openweight Champion. Zeus Maximillion ends the four month of reign to win the CGC Canadian Title for the first time. Amber Allen teamed with Jessica Bunny to defeat the odd pairing of Viv Jacobs and Suzanne Brazzle to claim the vacant CWWF Tag Team Titles. Toshiharu Hyobanshi regained the GCG World Heavyweight Championship from Marat Khoklov to become a four time champion. Tasuku Iesada ended the 8 month reign of Masaaki Okazaki to become the INSPIRE King of Fighters for a third time. Harley Neill ended the 16 month MOSC Blood & Beer Title reign of Kevin Jones to claim the belt for a second time. Marcos Flores became the new MHW Campeon de Mundo, ending Axxis Jr's reign after only two months. Bobby Thomas teamed with Paul Huntingdon to become the new MAW Tag Team champions, as they defeated Warlord Power and the departing Willie York. Cherry Bomb defeated Etsuko Ariyoshi to become a two time Womens Champion in NOTBPW. The switch comes as no surprise as Ariyoshi had been working 'hurt' since last month. El Leon ended the 13 month long reign of Ultimate Phoenix to become the OLLIE Campeon de Universal for a fourth time and Hijo Del Relampago won the Campeon de Mexico title for second time. Trent Shaffer failed to make a single succesful title defence as RIPW Champion, as his reign was brought to an abrupt end by Avalanche. Extraordinario became the WLW Show Stealer champion for a second time, KC Glenn claimed his first championship gold of his career when he became the new Street Fighting Champion and Hirokazu Yamanoue won the Tap Out Title for a third time.

Tigerkinney Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 [CENTER][SIZE=3][COLOR=teal][B][I][U]Delorean Driver.com[/U][/I][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][COLOR=teal][B][I][U]Your Top Wrestling News Site[/U][/I][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER] [B]Notes From A Small Island:[/B] FCW return to action once again at the Ricardo Montenez Ballroom on Tuesday 13th November, when they present their Punto de Desempate show. After succesfully defending the Undisputed Championship in his first defence against former champion Ultimate Phoenix and Phoenix Negra, Darryl Devine will put the twin belts on the line against a yet to be named opponent. The only news we have coming out of FCW is that the opponent is someone with a path history in FCW. Darryl Devine is reportedly non too happy about having to put his title on the line against a mystery opponent and has claimed that this is yet another example that the corrupt FCW officials want him to lose the twin belts to in his words 'Some false suck up, who will pander to the sheep' Despite being on the receiving end of a post match beatdown, Charles Rainier has accepted the challenge of his one time stable Nicky R!ot for his People's Championship. The break up of UNITY was caused when R!ot and then tag partner Harry Allen claimed Charles Rainier to be the weak link of the group but it is Rainier who has gone on to have the greater success since the break up of that faction, having held the People's Championship since June. Meanwhile the Tag Team Champions Mainstream Nation will be in Six Man Tag action, when they team up with newest recruit Spirit to take on the Lucha Equity Alliance trio of Angel De Mexico, El Mitico Jr and their new recruit of Amazing Fire Fly. There will be more Tag action as the leader of FREEDOM-5 Dean Daniels will join forces with the faction's enforcer Primus to go head to head in a No DQ match with the duo of Malilli Umaga and Java, who seem to have their sights set on eliminating Dean Daniels from FCW and Dance2Win take on the Devine Right duo of Bulldozer Brandon Smith & Arthur Dexter Bradley as both teams look to put themselves into contention for the Tag Team Championship. Both Ultimate Phoenix and Phoenix Negra will be looking to get back on track after their failure to wrestle away the Undisputed Championship from Darryl Devine when they take on Fox Mask and Capitao Brasil Jr respectively. Rounding out the main show Speed Machine takes on Masked Cougar and the man trying to keep the W.O.V Gold name alive Big Eazy goes up against a man looking to be accepted into FREEDOM-5 Matt Hocking. The pre-show will see FREEDOM-5's Jared Johnson take on Remmy Honeyman and Amo Del Gato will go one on one with former USPW talent Patrick Cudelli.

Cudelli (who was known to USPW fans as Happy Elwood) has basically been brought in to fill the babyface jobber role left behind by Leftie Wilkes and Joe Benning, so anyone expecting the ex USPW man to get a debut win here was on to a loser. Like alot of the jobbers who come and go in FCW he'll probably only last till the end of the contract, unless he proves to be a revelation.

I put the belt on the line against a very honorable man that night, a quality you clearly don't have and clearly haven't had since you came into FCW. Even before you turned on me back when we were running together in UNITY, I felt you were never fully on board with the principles I fought for.......[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred][B]Nicky R!ot:[/B] Yeah, yeah....blahdy, blah, blah, blah...principles. If you want to get ahead in this business Charles, principles go out the window...you do everything and anything to win. It's what all the best wrestlers in this business have always understood names like Rip Chord, Sam Keith, Tommy Cornell....even our Undisputed Champion...Darryl Devine. A man who I can truly look up to in this company.[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy][B]Charles Rainier:[/B] Yeah, all great wrestlers who did anything to win at all costs but I can throw you back some great names who found success by fighting fair people like Sam Strong, Sean McFly, Ricky Dale Johnson......and one guy who has always stood up for what is good whilst finding grea success here in FCW Ultimate Phoenix and I will continue to prove with this People's Title reign that I can emulate those greats and win by sticking to the principles of sportsmanship.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred][B]Nicky R!ot:[/B] I can guarantee then Charles that you're gonna have to break your precious principles if you want to keep that belt round your waist, because in a straight up fight I'll have you number anyday of the week. Take a good look at the belt and shine it up real nice because it's coming home with me tonight [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]Rainier and R!ot then stare each other down but don't come to blows as Katie Cameron raps things up.[/COLOR] [COLOR=indigo][B]Katie Cameron:[/B] Charles Rainier- Nicky R!ot- People's Championship on the line tonight ![/COLOR] [B]Rating: D+[/B] [FONT=Courier New][B]Notes:[/B] Katie Cameron has now replaced Sara Silver in the backstage interviewer role. Sara's contract came up for renewal and it was decided she was too expensive to keep round, in the current capacity she was working for us. Cameron gives us near enough the same package for a whole lot less money. The whole Mainstream Hernandez- Bradford Peverall- Sara Silver storyline has pretty much come to a close for now but has been left 'open' enough to be picked up again at a later day. Basically the pay-off was Mainstream's turn from a slightly clueless but happy 'dude' to a bitter and jealous emo jack-ass.[/FONT] _____________________________________________________________ [B]Match #2: Jared Johnson vs Remmy Honeyman[/B] Decent pre-show match as Honeyman does a good job of going hold for hold with Double J as they put on a short technical battle, in the end Johnson goes to the heel bag of dirty tricks to gain the advantage once and for all and after that he was able to put Honeyman to bed with his Carolina Crossface submission. Honeyman is someone with very solid performance stats, but his total lack of charisma means he will never become a 'star' thus making him ideal jobber material, the very best he can hope for is that he can one day rise to the mid-card on the back of his wrestling skill alone.

Anyway I'll actually cut to the chase, if this two bit company wants to show it's not trying to screw me...a true class act...out of these belts then I want to know who my opponent is right now or these belts don't get defended tonight.

[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred][B]Darryl Devine:[/B] Like anyone would be pleased to see you back, but if you think I'm worries about losing the belt tonight, then you couldn't be any more wrong. You're a washed uy has been Flash, I'm just irritated that you still think you're good enough to challenge someone of my greatness.

Capitao is unable to live with the aggressive start from Negra who nails the 'Brazilian' with a drop-kick, before wiping out Capitao with the no hands plancha, and when Negra delivered a brainbuster out on the floor and simply waited for Brett Graveson to count Capitao out this one looked to be over in a flash. But somehow, to everyone's surprise especially Negra's Capitao managed to dive back into the ring at the last split second. Negra then moved in to deliver another brainbuster on Capitao, but got caught by surprise with a quick roll up...Negra then went to punt Capitao's head as they popped back to their feet but Capitao was able to block and then sweep the legs out from underneath Negra. The LEA member then continued to shift the momentum his way as he connected with a series of drop-kicks that had Negra reeling before connecting with a Samba Roll. That earned Capitao a close two count, who then decided to head up top but as he soared off the top rope with the Fall From Rio...Negra was able to move out of the way....the kick to the head/brainbuster combo followed before Negra decided to head up top himself and connect with the Phoenix Firebird Splash for the expected victory. A good opening contest, with Capitao having his moments but Negra still looking strong by the end of the match. [B][COLOR=red]Result: Phoenix Negra defeated Capitão Brasil Jr in 9:36 by pinfall.

Peverall cleaned house with his European Uppercut heavy offence before downing ADB with the Rapid Eye Movement sequence. BBS made the save and that lead to the inevitable chaos with Electricity also deciding to re-enter the ring...... amidst the chaos Peverall sent BBS over the top-rope before they turned their attention back to ADB.....with Peverall levelling the half -samoan youngster with a European Uppercut and Electricity then planting ADB into the mat with the Move#54 (Forward Leg-sweep)..... But just as it looked like the fun loving duo were about to pick up the victory, they were distracted by the 'charms' of Lisa Bowen, as was Brett Graveson...that allowed BBS to sneak back into the ring and clobber both from behind with the Green-Box as Bowen continued to keep Graveson distracted.....BBS then took Peverall over with the Back Drop Driver before finishing off Mr Electriciy with the Atomic Driller to pick up the victory. Formulaic stuff, Dance2Win are basically filling the 'good enough to beat the jobbers' but not really threats for the title role that someone like the Heat Magnets used to occupy at this moment in time. BBS & ADB seem to be gelling OK as a team and I'll probably look to be teaming them up fairly regularly at the moment as the 'Tag Team' of Devine Right.

The advantage was short lived however as Hernandez managed to fool Brett Graveson into thinking he was about to throw the match away with an intentional DQ by picking up a chair, that distraction allowed for Krusher to finally get in the ring and lay out the LEA trio, with Mitico putting up the most resistance before succumbing to a Dead Man Walking Side Slam. Graveson did realise that Krusher was not the legal man however, which lead to a beaten down Spirit crawling across the ring to officially tag the 'monster' into the mat. Hernandez then rushed across the ring to knock Angel and Mitico off the apron as the Mainstream Nation the proceeded to isolate Amazing Fire-Fly. Instead of simply putting the diminutive high flier away however, the Tag champs and their bizarre new friend from Japan want to dish out the punishment , inevitably that proves to back-fire on them as Fire-Fly spikes Krusher into the mat with a Tornado DDT....after the Tag champs finally set up for the Death to the Mainstream. Fire-Fly with the last ounce of energy left in his body then snapped off a series of head-scissors to send Spirit and Hernandez out of the ring before getting the hot-tag into Angel De Mexico. A drop-kick from the patriotic Mexican sends Krusher out of the ring, before the LEA leader follows up with a springboard diving splash that wipes out Mainstream Hernandez and Spirit. Mitico then climbs to the top-rope and wipes out Soul Krusher with a flying shoulder tackle. Hernandez then staggers into the ring and Fire Fly springboards back in, with the intention to take the Mainstreamer down with the inferno DDT, but Hernandez had it scouted wiping Fire-Fly out of mid-air with a super-kick, but before Hernandez could follow up with a cover...Angel then dove in off the top-rope to take the Mainstreamer down with a spinning head-scissors that he immediately transitioned into the Mexican Death.......Soul Krusher was able to make the save however clobbering Angel from behind and then planting the LEA leader int the mat with a Dead Man Walking........ That looked to earn Mainstream Nation the victory but Mitico was able to make the save. Krusher then went for the DMW on Mitico but the larger member of the LEA was able to fight his way out of it and then take Krusher off balance with a basement drop-kick.....Krusher somehwo managed to stay on his feet but was knocked down with a flying shoulder tackle from Mitico. Amazing Fire Fly then climbed up to the top and came crashing down upon Krusher with the Sky High Fire Fly only for Spirit to come into the ring and crack Fire-Fly across the back with a Kendo Stick...for some reason that doesn't lead to a DQ and Spirit looked set to drill Fire-Fly into the mat withe Dead Calm Drop II (Inverted Brainbuster) but before he could deliver it Mitico was there to club Spirit from behind and plant the masked weirdo onto the mat with a Quick-Silver Suplex (Swinging Fisherman) Fire Fly then launched himself through the ropes with a Tope wiping out Hernandez, Krusher and even his own team mate Angel De Mexico in the process as Mitico made what was to be the victorious cover. An expectantly 'spotty' Six Man Tag given the sort of talent involved in the match. Spirit probably needs to be build up overness if he is seen to be more than just MN's lackey/fall guy...even if that essentially is what his role actually is.

Well the answer is I don't know to be honest...most people round here think he's Samoan like me but he's not, he's from Indonesia.....but most people are too dumb to tell the difference.

Cougar connects with a nice standing drop-kick for two which leads to an increasingly frustrated Speed going out to the floor for a powder. Cougar then sets up for a dive to the floor but gets nailed with a leaping kick off the apron from Speed. Back inside and Speed sets up for the Speed Snap but Cougar manages to shake him off and sends Speed into the ropes....the Animal Magic then connects with a leg lariat and then waits for Speed to get up to connect with the Cougar Pounce but Speed moves out of the way and the momentum sends Cougar bouncing off the turnbuckle, where Speed then takes Cougar down with a neckbreaker. Speed then continues to work over the neck and gets a two count with a bridging German. Speed then lifts Cougar up for the Speed Snap (Double Arm DDT) but Cougar is able to block the move again and take Speed over with a back body drop. Cougar then connects with another leg lariat before planting Speed staggers back to his feet only to be planted into the mat with a Blue Thunder Driver for two. Cougar then heads up top but gets dropped out of mid-air with the a drop-kick to the mid-section as he went for the High Rise Cougar Pounce. Speed then stalked Cougar before locking on the Deadly Heel Hook but Cougar was able to roll through into a roll up. Speed managed to kick out but got caught in a wheelbarrow to set up I AM Cougar Hear Me Roar but that was countered with a victory roll from Speed.....Cougar then rolls through himself into another pin exchange but as they both pop to their feet Speed nails Cougar with the Speed Strike (his version of a Shining Wizard) out of what seems like no where to literally stop Cougar and the match dead in it's tracks. These two put on a pretty good match against one another. Speed is really proving himself as a singles performer since his new direction.

They quicken the pace a bit with Phoenix taking significant control after catching the Animal Magic man with the springboard roundhouse...that sets up an Elemental Suplex for two. Phoenix then decided to head up top, but was probably a little over-confident that he had done enough to ground Fox Mask who popped back up and took Phoenix back into the ring with a Rana. Fox Mask then went to follow in with the Fox Hunter but the former Undispued champion was able to move out of the way and then sweep the legs out before connecting with a standing moonsault. Fox Mask managed to kick out and then snapped off a head-scissors take down on Phoenix, only for Phoenix to pop up and nail the Animal Magic man with a drop kick that sent the former Tag champion out of the ring....Phoenix then set up for the no hands plancha but put the brakes on when Fox Mask moved out of the way. Fox Mask then caught Phoenix with a shoulder block coming in off the apron before getting a two count off a sunset flip. Fox Mask then took control with a standing drop-kick before setting Phoenix up for the Fox Flip Off DDT but the former Undisputed Champion was able to block and counter into a belly to back suplex.....that was enough to leave Fox Mask dazed enough for Phoenix to then plant the Animal Magic man into the mat with the Flaming Driver. This felt like an 'exhibition' match....what they did in the ring together was pretty nice but it just lacked any kind of heat due to the fact that both are babyfaces with neither showing any heelish tendancies what so ever.

Primus then helped Daniels to take Java over with a double team suplex to put the FREEDOM-5 pair in control of the match. When things settled back into the ring Daniels and Primus had Umaga isolated, where they worked over the former 'Big Two' star with some nice double teams, including a nice double teams, including a double team biel into the corner. However just as it looked like Daniels was going to connect with a flying knee drop...Java was back up to shove him off the top-rope to the floor.... Java then stunned Primus with a running boot, that sent the F-5 enforcer into a leaping double knees to the chest from Umaga. Primus then played 'Spencer Marks' for a bit as he looked to get the tag into Dean Daniels. A pair of impressive power-slams from Primus managed to buy him some time before getting the hot-tag into a fired up Daniels....who knocked Java off the apron and then set Umaga up for the Raise The Stakes but the Samoan countered with a low blow and then a quick roll up. Daniels managed to kick out but was stunned with a headbutt and then dumped with the Samoan Suplex. That drew Primus back into the ring.....who broke up the pin and then dumped Umaga with a release German Suplex....Primus then waited for Umaga to get back to his feet, as he waited to impale the Samoan with the Rruuuusshhh !! But instead was stopped in his tracks with a big boot from Java.... Java then tried for a power bomb on Primus, but the F-5 man was able to block but Umaga then cracked a chair over the back and then the head of Primus. Daniels who had rolled out of the ring, came flying back in to take Java down with a flying knee strike and then catch Umaga with a roaring elbow....Umaga then staggered into Daniels who set up for the relenteless knee strikes only for Java to clobber him from behind with a chair shot....that then set up the Greetings From The Islands (Double Hand Choke-Slam) to seal the victory for Umaga and his 'hired' muscle. This one flitted between wanting to be a normal tag match and a chaotic brawl, which lead to the match lacking a bit of flow. The four men in the ring did work hard enough though to get the crowd at least someway into it, even if Umaga and Java showed no chemistry what so ever as a Tag Team.

Hocking seemed keen to keep up the early pressure though and slid through the ropes to drive Eazy into the barricade with a baseball slide drop-kick. Batch was able to provide a distraction though as Hocking was about to follow up and Eazy took full advantage, levelling Hocking with a clothesline and then power-bombing the man hoping to join F-5 against the ring apron. Eazy then waited for the count-out but was left disappointed when Hocking beat the count, despite that Eazy continued to dominate and set up Hocking for the Natural Ending only for Hocking to counter into a victory roll. That only seemed to anger Eazy more though he caught Hocking with a stiff fore-arm and then drilled the former Devine Right member into the mat after a delayed vertical suplex. Hocking managed to kick out but Eazy could sense victory and was just waiting for Hocking to stagger to his feet to connect with the Powerline, but Hocking managed to duck under and then nail Eazy coming back off the ropes with a drop-kick...Hocking then drilled Eazy with a super-kick....that then set up the Shock Drop (Inverted Facelock Tornado DDT), which was enough to keep the last remnant of W.O.V Gold down for three. Even though Eazy's not exactly an upper-carder, this was a solid win for Hocking and given their size difference could be seen as a mild upset.

As I was handing the belt over R!ot jumped from me behind, to cheaply gain the early advantage. The newest recruit to Devine Right then continued the assault as he stomped away in the corner. R!ot then decided to pitch me up onto the top-rope, before slapping me across the face, which was done much more for the effect of trying to humiliate me, rather than to do any signifcant damage. After jawing with the fans, R!ot then went to send me back in the ring with a vertical suplex but I was able to shove him off... just as I was about to deliver a missile drop-kick, R!ot was back to his feet to sweep the legs out from underneath....R!ot then set up once again for a superplex but this time I was able to fight him off with a series of back elbows, before launching myself off to take R!ot down with a cross-body. R!ot powered out of the subsquent pin attempt and then took back full control after a clothesline. R!ot then looked to power-bomb me, but that was countered with a victory roll and as we got back to our feet, I was able to nail my one time stable mate with a drop-kick. R!ot staggered into the corner and I charged in, only for R!ot to pitch me up and over....however I was able to land on the ring-apron and nail R!ot with an Enziguri. I then climbed to the top and took R!ot down with a missile drop-kick , before kipping up. I then swept the legs out from underneath R!ot and went for a quebrada, only for R!ot to get the knees up...R!ot then flapjacked me onto the top-rope and then proceeded to target my mid-section. An effective strategy as it would help to eliminate the moonsault as an effective finisher and would probably prevent me from having the strength to get R!ot up for the C.R Driver. R!ot continued to focus on the strategy by putting me in an abdominal stretch, whilst jawing with the crowd. I was able to muster enough strength though to start working out of it, before R!ot then decided to change tact by taking me up into a vertical suplex and send me crashing back down to the mat. After I was able to just about kick out, R!ot then took me up onto his shoulders and looked set to deliver a gutbuster, only for me to counter into a crucifix bomb. R!ot then staggered back to his feet only for me to roll him up with a La Magistral Cradle......R!ot powered out of that and then suddenly had me in place for the 'Charles Peterson' (Exploder Suplex)..........Despite my best efforts to try and fight it off R!ot did eventually manage to take me over..... R!ot however failed to hook the leg on the cover, feeling he had done enough to put me away and I was able to kick out at the last split seconding. R!ot's arrogance had just cost him what should have been certain victory. R!ot then decided to argue with Graveson, insisting that the referee should have counted to three...before waiting to level me with the Sub Pop Bop, but I was able to avoid the attempt and then nail R!ot with a drop-kick....R!ot then staggered back up and this time I was able to catch R!ot with the Raindrop (Dropsault) That could well have got me the win, there and then but Graveson's brain was again in his pants, as he was distracted by Lisa Bowen. Arthur Dexter Bradley then sneaked into the ring and went to attack me with the 'Green Box' but I felt it coming and Bradley ended up levelling R!ot with the object instead...I then had the foresight to kick the foreign object out of the ring before rolling R!ot up for the three count. Not a great match but a decent one none the less, something like Phoenix-Fox Mask earlier in the show had better quality 'wrestling' but this probably captured the crowd more due to the fact that there was a clear face (myself) going up against a clear heel (R!ot). In the end I was able to take advantage of some classic heel weaknesses to keep hold of the People's belt for at least another month.

When the match does get under way, to some fans surprise Devine doesn't actually go for a cheap shot and instead just locks up with Flash. To be fair to Devine he actually stays a step ahead of the veteran in a series of wrist lock exhanges, before taking Flash down with a back heel trip. Devine acts as if he's totally schooled Flash in the art of wrestling and jaws with the crowd...that proves to be a mistake as Flash pops up to nail him with a fore-arm...several more follow as a fired up Flash did not exactly take too kindly at being 'shown up' by the champion. However Flash's flurry is halted with a good old fashioned thumb to the eye, before Devine takes complete control again with a Pat Deacon Knee Lift, a snap mare and a kick to the back. Devine follows with an arrogant cover, before paint brushing Flash and taunting the 'honary' member of FREEDOM-5 to get back to his feet.....Flash duly does but a slap stops Flash in his tracks, before Devine plants Flash back into the mat with a Forward Leg-Sweep. More arrogant posturing follows from Devine before he puts the boots in and goes for another cover. Once again Flash kicks out, but Devine remains in control, delivering a series of clubbing blows and then planting Flash back onto the mat with a basic head and arm suplex. Devine then decides to head up top, making sure he takes time enough time to brag to the crowd 'that's he not just good, he's Devine'.....but that costs him dear....as Flash is able to move out of the way when Flash came soaring off the top with the DFA (Flying Elbow Drop) and when they staggered back to their feet it was Flash who was able to turn things into his favour, landing with every blow and shaking off anything Devine threw at him....an impressive leg lariat from the 46 year old Canadian...took down Devine, who then scrambled to the floor. But Flash wasn't going to let up and the veteran hauled his 46 year old body up to the top-rope to come crashing down upon Devine with a flying body press to a huge roar and 'you've still got it !' chant from the crowd. Flash then rolled Devine into the ring and went for a quick cover....Devine managed to kick out but Flash kept the pressure on lifting Devine up into a vertical suplex and then impressing the crowd by holding Devine up for almost half a minute. One........ Two...... Thr...... Devine just about kicked out, Flash sensing victory then looked to set Devine up for the Flash Bang, only for Devine to slip out and bail outside the ring once again. It appeared Devine had, had enough and looked to be taking the cowards way out by heading up the entrance ramp. Knowing that the title couldn't change hands on a count-out Flash went right after Devine, but this was a trap as BBS & ADB of Devine Right headed down the entrance ramp, their prescence was enough to take Gravesons eye away from Devine who low blowed Flash from behind and then sent the veteran shoulder first into the ring-post. Devine then pitched Flash back into the ring, before heading up top and then connecting with the DFA Flying Elbow Drop....... One....... Two...... Thr........ Flash kicked out, much to the frustration of Devine..who then pulled Flash up before butterflying the arms but Flash could feel what was coming, blocking the move and then driving Devine into the turnbuckle. Flash then took stunned Devine with a jawbreaker and then went for the Flash Bang but Devine had it scouted to work his way out and then catch Flash with the Devine Intervention (springboard back elbow) that then lead to Flash staggering into another Pat Deacon Knee Lift...once again Devine looked to be going for the Devine Dream Drop but Flash was able to block again and then suddenly nail Devine with the FLASH BANG !! One....... Two...... Three ? Unfortunately for Flash, Brett Graveson was out of position after Devine 'conveniently' staggered across the referee's path. All of a sudden the rest of Devine Right hit the ring and start laying a beat-down on Flash but before they can do enough to send Flash packing from FCW once again....FREEDOM-5 come out to Flash's rescue....it's total chaos now in the ring with the two factions brawling with one another in and out of the ring and when Graveson does come to he see's no choice but to throw the match out, which proves to be an unpopular decision with the fans, knowing full well that Devine has just dodged a bullet. The fans were really behind Flash in this, especially after some fine mic work between Devine and Flash at the top of the show, to really set this match up on an emotional level beyond it being for the twin belts. Flash responded by putting on a performance that was more in keeping with his first run with FCW and not with his slightly lacklustre second run. It has to be said that Flash in only on loan this time (from NOTBPW) but he proved his worth tonight as a special attraction.

Soon the 'Monty' can't contain them and the fight spills out onto the streets, the show ends in total chaos with the fans following the wrestlers to the outside to see the chaotic brawling between the two factions continue.

I'm akin to say it's somewhere in between, to pull out C+ shows on a consistent basis is actually pretty good for a promotion of our size but I know we are capable of pulling out better. Next month we will be putting on two shows, which will inevtiably result in a financial loss but it is felt that we need to put on an extra show to help set up this years Batalla Final. To be honest I would liked to have put on more two show months this year but we simply don't make enough money to justify going with that plan on a more consistent basis, the same goes with running more shows outside of our homebase in Puerto Rico. Eddie Howard (Big Eazy) and Sara Silver both depart this month. Howard was complaining about doing too many jobs and though he could have become a bigger star in FCW, I never really saw him as main event material. Whilst not a poor worker nothing stood about him either. Sara Silver's departure was purely due to financial reasons and the fact that we couldn't really justify keeping her around in her current backstage interviewer role for what would have been a four figure wage. Her storyline with Mainstream Hernandez had conveniently reached a sort of bookend with his heel turn but is left open enough to picked up again, if we decide to bring her back. Katie Cameron comes in as a her replacement for a considerably less hefty fee. Patrick Cudelli (the former Happy Elwood in USPW ) joins, with his debut loss on the pre-show of this months Subida Del Rey show, don't exept him to enjoy much of a push. We also added referee Dewey Libertine to the roster this month...two reasons it is felt that we really should have a second referee on the roster and he was also signed as an insurance policy in case Bret Graveson decides to depart, which could unfortunately be a likely reality. Graveson's contract comes up in the next few months but he is still sulking over the fact that I reprimanded him for several childish backstage pranks a few months back. In terms of keeping talent with us Soul Krusher (Billy Jack Shearer) and road agent Duncan Kendall agreed to new contracts. One thing that did irritate both myself and Senor Lopez this month was the fact that K.C Glenn has signed with CZCW, after stating that we weren't big enough for him. The wanting to crack Japan excuse he gave in his promo was purely a kayfabe reason, even though he has been enjoying great success with WLW. [CENTER]______________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]Rival Promotion Watch[/U][/B][/CENTER] CZCW put on Showdown at Sundown, which wasn't up to the same standard as recent shows (C+) but did see a title change in the main event as Ernest Youngman defeated the departing Bobby Thomas for the Coastal Zone Championship (C+). The rest of the show was solid but nothing stood out and is it any coincidence that they put on their weakest show for a while and Ultimate Phoenix is not only not in the main event but not on the show at all. MAW's Retribution event was an inconsisent mixed bag, resulting in a somewhat average show. JD Morgan and Jay Chord put together a fine match in the semi main event (B-) and Scythe defeated James 'Mainstream' Hernandez in a decent mid-card match (C+) but Johnny Martin's defence of the Mid Atlantic Title against Avalanche in the main event was disappointing (C-). NYCW put on a fairly poor show this month with Desperate Measures (D+) that was topped off by a mediocre defence of the Empire Title from Andre Jones over The Cannoball Kid (C-). A few years back NYCW looked to be moving forward but have fallen back and the title reigns of Honest Frank and currently Andre Jones have failed to capture the imagination of their fans. It has to be said that no one amongst the top Regional promotions in the US did anything particurly note worthy this month, apart from the title change in CZCW in what was actually their weakest show for a while. CZCW are probably the top Regional promotion, when they do get it right but are much more reliant on a select few wrestlers (notably Ultimate Phoenix) performing in the main event. MAW's success currently relies on the quality of opponent Johnny Martin faces in the main even. [CENTER]_____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]November News and Notes From Around The Wrestling World[/U][/B][/CENTER] [B]Worker Signings[/B] Gaijins Kristabel Plum, Golden Delicious, Karen Bilous and Ashley Grover will all take part in 5SSW's up-coming winter tour. BSC manage to persuade Raven Nightfall to join up with their roster CGC bring in a pair of young cruiserweights in Kamikaze Christian Vars and Reggie Bishop. Given CGC's style of wrestling and the the fact that both are still relatively unknown it's likely that they have been purely brought in as job fodder. Eve Grunge returns to the CWWF, after departing earlier this year. CZCW have pulled off something of a coup by persuading K.C Glenn to join their roster. Gianfranco Morelli rejoins EWA. Exodus 2010 bring in veteran Takeshi Umehara. Ketsueki Karasu (Blood Raven), Merle O'Curle, Kalu Owusu and Masked Patriot will all take part in GCG's up-coming winter tour. Akima Brave (Malilli Umaga) has joined up with Hinote Dojo on a PPA basis. Veteran announcer Monzaemon Ouchi joins INSPIRE.

SOTBPW add new comer Soda De La Uva Jr. Chris Morrisette (formerly known as Lobster Warrior) is the latest SWF star to jump ship to rivals TCW.

Long time INSPIRE announcer Seiho Kuroda, has decided to jump ship to the very different WLW. XWA continue to build up their intial roster; signing the Dirty White Boys of Grease Hogg and Lead Belly, Knuckles, Marshall Dillon, Nevada Nuclear, Slim V, The Insane Heat (aka Destiny) and Rob Reynolds.

Amber Allen departs from CWWF, stating that she wishes to concentrate on her work in Japan with 5SSW. Bobby Thomas departs from CZCW after failing to come to agreement on a new contract.

Out in Japan INSPIRE's Mike Watson suffered a cruel blow, Shattering his knee just a week after agreeing a new contract with INSPRE, like Engyma he will be out of action for over a year and PGHW youngster Eien Miyamato suffered the same injury. Hinote Dojo's Hirokazu Yamanoue suffered a Hernia and will be out of action for around the next two months. EWA Universal Champion Doctor Insane has said he is currently working through a Chronic Shoulder Pain, stating it as a reason for his somewhat disappointing Title defences. [B]Worker Retirements[/B] Long time WLW mainstay KOKI Ishibashi has called time on his in-ring career at the Age of 43. Ishibashi was a notable member of the Circle of Blood faction, where alongside The Incredible KOYAMA as 'The Avalanche Effect' he was one half of arguably the greatest team in WLW history, with the duo capturing the Tag Titles on a record 9 occasions. But some people forget that Ishibashi also enjoyed great success as a singles competitor, winning the Universal Title on three occasions, the Street Fighting Title Twice and adding single runs with the Show Stealer and Tap Out Titles. Despite being a three time Universal Champion Ishibashi's reigns with the belts were never that well received, with insiders stating that he only got these runs due to his backstage friendship with Koji Kojima and that fans never really accepted him as an 'ace' despite his great success in the Tag Division. Meanwhile women's wrestlers Ginko Kuroda (32) and Speedy Marie (36) call time on their in-ring careers. [B]Backstage Trouble[/B] JD Morgan has fallen out with Mean Jean Cattley in MAW and given Cattley's influence in the promotion, it may well be a promotion Morgan is forced to leave. The one saving grace for Morgan in MAW, is that Jay Chord may not have quite the same level of loyalty towards Cattley that his father Rip did. [B]Media News[/B] TCW come to agreement over a deal with Premier Pay EURO-TV to show their PPV's across Europe , whilst Australia Channel-1 will show their Action Packed show from December. [B]Other News[/B] BSC's Vampella (aka Southern Belle) has posed for what is said to be a 'very hot' photo shoot for mens magazine Rustler. [B]Title Changes[/B] Katherine Goodlooks ended the dominant 14 month reign to become the new Queen of the Ring in BSC. Tadakuni Toshusai and Fukabaru Inao won the Burning World Tag Team Titles for a third time ending the reign of Yasuhaiko Taira and Heiachiro Sakai and Masked Cougar captured the Openweight Title from fellow FCW wrestler Arthur Dexter Bradley. CWWF Tag Titles find themselves vacated following Amber Allen's decision to leave CWWF, only a month after capturing the titles alongside Jessica Bunny. The Coastal Zone Championship reign of Bobby Thomas was brought to a relatively abrupt ened by Ernest Youngman. The Tag Titles are also vacated (yet again) due to Thomas departure from the promotion. Stealth-Z ends the three month reign of EDO Phoenix IV to capture the Golden Crown in Exodus-2010. El Mitico Jr teamed with El Hijo Espada Roja to capture the MPWF Campeones de Parejas and end the 15 month reign of Hombre de La Energia and Kid Azucar and Magnifico became a two time Campeon de Lucha. The MAW Tag Title reign of Bobby Thomas and Paul Huntingdon was brought to and end in their first title defence with the veteran duo of Warlord Power teaming with Henry Lee becoming the new champions. The Elite Tag Series took place this month in PGHW with current Glory Crown champion PRIDE Koiso and Kozue Kawashima capturing the Trophies for a second time. Their path to winning this years series saw them defeat Mito Miwa and Akinori Kwakami in the first round, Team Toronto (Alexander Robinson and Le Robinson) in the semi finals and finally Team Energy (Nobuatso Tasuko and Noriyori Sanda) in the finals. Team Energy's path to the finals saw them pull out what was seen by many as an upset (despite their pedigree as one of the top teams in PGHW over the past decade) over 7 time winners Team Dynasty 2000 in the first round and then defeat the duo of Eisaku Kunomasu and Snap Dragon in the semi finals. The other first round entrants including Ryoma Muruyama & Masaru Ugaki and Buddy Garner & Nigel Svensson. Pablo Rodriguez recaptured the Campeon de Mundo in SOTBPW from El Fuerza to become a four time champion. Meanwhile Tijuana Vampire, Nicolas Lopez and Huracan Sandoval Jr brought to and end the dominant 20 month Campeones de Trios reign of Enrique Merino, Pirata Malvado and Rebelde Loco.

Tigerkinney Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 [B]O.O.C Note: [/B] I'm going to be going on holiday again, as from tommorow (going to Madeira). So this diary is going to be on hold for about the next week (I return the following Monday). I did think about putting the preview up for the next show but felt in the end it was best I pick this up again when I return, because more than likely there'll be a flurry of predictions at the start and then get sunk down to the depths of Page 4, maybe more when I return. The hotel I'm staying at has internet access, so I might be able to check in on the boards and some of my favourite diaries from time to time, but I won't have time to update this diary...besides I'm going to be on holiday and that means a holiday from this, as well as work.
