[FONT="Arial Black"]May:[/FONT] A $23,000 loss for the month, and two shows to go before USPW Americana. DaVE released Alysian Scottsfield, and are looking to replace him with a USPW worker. Great. Meanwhile at TCW the day after a PPV BLZ Bubb takes the World Heavyweight Title off Cornell. Interesting booking, to say the least. Announced for Tuesday: Samoan Machine vs Phenomenal E Joss Thompson and Flemmemental vs Kazuma Narato, Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu Emilio vs Brock Steel Zimmy Bumfhole vs Akima Brave

[eayragt]

Tuesday – [FONT="Arial Black"]USPW On the Move[/FONT] Two dark matches, Clifford Flanders defeating Barry Kingman (C+), then Eisaku Hoshino defeating Jacob Jett (B). The show opened with Samoan Machine storming down the ring, and demanding Clifford Flanders to come to the ring and explain why he attacked him last week. Our big screen showed Flanders casually getting into his car in the garage and driving away, leaving Machine with no answer – but he did have a match (B). [COLOR="Blue"]Samoan Machine vs Phenomenal E[/COLOR] Samoan Machine pummelled Ed, and pinned him after two Samoan Suplexes at 5.59. [I][COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine beat Phenomenal E[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Samoan Machine picked up Ed and gave him another suplex, before Akima Brave came out and split the up (B-). Akima told Samoan Machine that it’s not Ed’s fault, but Samoan Machine shoved Akima away and stormed up the ramp (B). Then we got Joss Thompson backstage with Flemmemental, saying that they would see off the men who attacked Zimmy last week (B-). [COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson and Flemmemental vs Kazuma Narato, Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu[/COLOR] At last, our first match announcement for Americana, which will see Flemmemental challenge for the Tag Team Titles. In this one, Narato defeated American Elemental with the Kyoto Drop at 6.49. [I][COLOR="blue"]Kazuma Narato, Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu beat Joss Thompson and Flemmemental [/COLOR](C+)[/I] Eisaku Hoshino was shown backstage, saying that’s what true winners looked like. Mean Jean Cattley won last week, but has not met his approval by taking this week off. Tonight Zimmy Bumfhole gets a chance to match Cattley’s achievement, meeting Akima Brave in the Main Event (A). We then cut to where Sir Adam was lifting weights above his head, talking to the American Patriots about their victory last week. Whistler said he was impressed, but wanted to see what the young man could do in singles competitions against a vet, and challenged him to a match later, which was accepted (B). Then we saw Emilio telling everyone how he’d become number one contender to the USPW National Title (C+), when he was blindsided by Brock Steel. Steel threw Emilio head first into a wall, before dragging him to the ring (C+). [COLOR="blue"]Emilio vs Brock Steel[/COLOR] By the time these two got to the ring Emilio was badly battered, and fell to Steel in just 1.37. [I][COLOR="blue"]Brock Steel beat Emilio[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Steel took a mic and addressed Joss Thompson, saying that he has booked his match against him, and the thug always wins out (B). [COLOR="blue"]Whistler vs Sir Adam[/COLOR] Captain USA was at Sir Adam’s side, and the two competitors put on a fairly uninspired brawl – with Adam doing more of the work than his veteran counterpart (who was off his game). Adam took the win at 4.54 with the Dragon Slayer, leaving Whistler nodding appreciatively. [I][COLOR="blue"]Sir Adam beat Whister[/COLOR] (C)[/I] After the match Giant Redwood was out on the rampway with Elise Remmington, and declared that so far the youngster looked impressive. However, one singles match against someone who’s been run out of USPW twice already hardly proves anything. He challenged Adam to a match next week, and although USA looked pensive, Sir Adam readily agreed (C+). Then Zimmy Bumfhole cam to the ring, saying that tonight he’d win, and ensure that by the time the program ended have guaranteed himself a title shot at USPW Americana (B+). Hoshino then came out to join commentary, telling Zimmy that if he won the match, there’d be a Triple Threat match for his World Title at Americana, with Mean Jean Cattley. He added that without Cattley being here – he had an offer. If he won, they’d work together to eliminate Cattley, and then sort it out one on one, man on man (A*). [COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole vs Akima Brave[/COLOR] Annoyingly these two don’t click, which is a surprise as they’ve had better matches than this at PWMAX. It was hard fought, but Zimmy won cleanly with the Bumfhole in One at 14.02. [I][COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole beat Akima Brave[/COLOR] (B-)[/I] Zimmy took the mic after the match, and told Hoshino that he’d never join him, and it’d be every man for himself at Americana. Hoshino shrugged, before charging the ring to attack Zimmy. Flemmemental and Joss Thompson tried to help, but were cut off by Narato and the Tag Champions, leaving Hoshino free to apply his Deathlock STF as the show ended (B+). [I]Overall Rating C+[/I]

[eayragt]

2,000 people, but I was sure the Main Event was going to pull out a B rating and pull the show in to B- territory. Otherwise I’d definitely have had Hoshino wrestling main show. Ah well – we live, we learn. First bit of relationship news coming out of USPW, and Kid Toma mentioned that he was having problems with Kazuma Narato. What can I say to this, apart from Toma’s a jerk, and Narato’s not. Kid Toma vs Kazuma Narato has been added to the USPW Americana card. Announced for Tuesday: Flemmy Lemming vs Suzue Katayama Sir Adam vs Giant Redwood Samoan Machine vs Akima Brave

[eayragt]

Tuesday – [FONT="Arial Black"]USPW On the Move[/FONT] Two dark matches, Brock Steel beating Jacob Jett (C+) and Clifford Flanders beating Kid Toma (C+) after Toma was attacked by Kazuma Narato. [COLOR="Blue"]Flemmy Lemming vs Suzue Katayama[/COLOR] The show opened with the two mat specialists for Friday’s Tag Title match facing off with another. An even match until Tzu tried to help his partner, getting DQ’d for pulling Lemming out of the week at 6.46. [I][COLOR="blue"]Flemmy Lemming beat Suzue Katayama[/COLOR] by DQ (C+)[/I] Tzu looks as if he’d going to attack Lemming, but is dragged away by Katayama, telling him till wait untill Thursday (B-). Then we cut over to Akima Brave and Samoan Machine, Akima demanding to know why Samoan Machine demanded a match with him today. Samoan Machine tells Akima that he crossed the line last week, and needs to be put in his place, to be taught a thing or two about respect (B). The cameras then cut over to Cattley and Zimmy Bumfhole, who are warily staring at each other. Zimmy tells Cattley that it’s good of him to bother showing this week, to which Cattley responds that he didn’t need to be here last week – he’d already proved himself. Then tension’s broken by Hoshino, who strolls in and starts slapping both men on the shoulders. He says that he wants to see his two opponents for Americana get on with each other, so he’s made sure that in the Main Event tonight they get a chance to team up – against himself and Kazuma Narato (A). [COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine vs Akima Brave[/COLOR] These two have met once before, when Akima Brave took the National Title off Samoan Machine, and he looked determined to make amends today. Both men fought hard and didn’t give an inch – to which Jillefski on commentary said would help Clifford Flanders, as he’d be facing Samoan Machine on Friday. Akima scored with a suplex on Samoan Machine, when Sam Baker made an appearance, blowing dust at Akima Brave’s eyes. As Akima staggered round in the ring, Samoan Machine recovered to apply the Unbreakable Sleeper, and Akima tapped out at 11.20. [I][COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine beat Akima Brave[/COLOR] (B-)[/I] As the Samoan’s left separately, Sam Baker was caught out back. He said that he had been ignored in USPW for far too long, and had made an impact – and as Akima had messed with him in the past, he was his first target (C). Mean Jean then cut a promo to say that he didn’t care what happened in the Main Event tonight – his concentration was fully on Americana, and taking Hoshino’s belt (B). Then we cut over to the American Patriots, who were giving Sir Adam some last minute preparations for his match (B). He headed to the ring, but as soon as he was appeared in front of the fans, was jumped by two large men. Jillefski soon identified that [B]The Lords of War[/B] had returned to USPW, and had targeted the newcomer Sir Adam (C). The American Patriots charged out but were delayed by Redwood, and by the time the sides had separated Sir Adam was in no state to fight. The American Patriots demanded revenge, and Redwood volunteered the Lords in a match (C+). [COLOR="blue"]The American Patriots vs The Lords of War[/COLOR] The American Patriots started quickly, but were beaten down by their heel opponents with the assist from Giant Redwood. Warlord Pain got the win at 4.58. [I][COLOR="blue"]The Lords of War beat The American Patriots[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Brock Steel was the next man out, saying that he was prepared to meet Joss Thompson on Friday to take his National Title. This caused Jillefski to stand up, and inform Steel that his attack last week was unacceptable, so Emilio was being added to the National Title match, which naturally non too impressed Steel (C+). [COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson and Emilio vs Back in the Day[/COLOR] Thompson and Emilio strolled past Steel, and worked well together, Emilio making Sanders tap out to the Champagne Breakfast at 5.54. [I][COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson and Emilio beat Back in the Day[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Steel stormed to the ring following the match looking for a fight, but again Emilio and Joss Thompson formed a good team, and fought their larger opponent away (C+). We then cut over to Samoan Machine and Clifford Flanders who were face to face, with Mainstream Hernandez trying to split them up. Akima came over to help, telling Samoan Machine that he was right – everything should be sorted in the ring, and he’ll get the chance on Friday (B). Zimmy Bumfhole was the first man out for the Main Event, telling Cattley that he cared about the result tonight, as he was here to make a mark (B). Cattley came out and barely acknowledged his partner, before the two Japanese men were out, Hoshino taking some time to point out that there was only going to be one team that would be on the same page tonight (B+). [COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole and Mean Jean Cattley vs Kazuma Narato and Eisaku Hoshino[/COLOR] Zimmy forced Cattley to start the match, but it didn’t take long until he tagged out to Zimmy. Zimmy got in a good period of offence on both opponents, and suddenly Cattley became a bit more interested in the match. The two started tagging regularly, and the heels only got their momentum back when Narato charged in without a tag two dropkick Cattley. This brought in Zimmy, and all manner on mayhem ensued, with all four men going at it hammer and tong. The ref tried to gain control, but had very little hope, and let Cattley throw Narato into the ring barrier. Hoshino reached over the top rope for Cattley, but the American turned round and dropped the champion’s neck onto the ring rope. He bounced off straight into Zimmy Bumfhole who hit the Bumfhole in One to pick up the win (although not the legal man) at 10.58. [I][COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfole and Mean Jean Cattley beat Kazuma Narato and Eisaku Hoshino[/COLOR] (B+) Overall Rating B[/I]

2,000 sell out, 53,000 viewers, and a show rated better than the TCW show that night (which had two title matches on). Not bad for a show featuring the redebut of SWF has beens The Lords of War, now teaming with Giant Redwood. The SWF show was rated better, having three title matches and a title change, former USPW worker T-Rex taking the North American Title off Sam Keith. It’s also been revealed that USPW’s contract with National Pride TV is coming to a close at the end of the month, and USPW will be switching to the Pop! Network. The show will stay on Tuesday at 11:00 where it’s beginning to gain a following, and will introduce USPW free to a Canadian (and Puerto Rican) market. For now if they want to watch USPW, they’ll have to pay for Americana on Friday.

[eayragt]

Friday – [SIZE="5"][FONT="Arial Black"]USPW Americana[/FONT][/SIZE] One dark match saw Phenomenal E beat Japanese Dragon (C), before Flemmemental hyped up their Tag Title shot (C+) The show opened with a video hyping the Main Event (A), before the American Patriots were shown telling Sir Adam how dangerous their opponents would be tonight, and he must stay calm (C+). A video was shown of Tuesday’s attack (C+), before the teams were out. [COLOR="Blue"]The American Patriots and Sir Adam vs Giant Redwood and The Lords of War[/COLOR] Whistler off his game again, and all three men had their little brawls here. Stamina was not something prominent in these men, so it was at just 5.54 when Warlord Pain pinned Whister. [I][COLOR="blue"]Giant Redwood and The Lords of War beat The American Patriots and Sir Adam[/COLOR] (C)[/I] The Lords of War set up Whistler for an Execution at Dawn, but were run off by Sir Adam, who cradled his friend in his arms, vowing revenge (C). We then saw Akima Brave out back with Kid Toma, telling him to stick up for what he said about Narato – he was nothing without the World Champion. He had to do his thing, jus like he had to teach Sam Baker a lesson for interfering in his life (B-). Then we cut to Narato and Hoshino, with the champion laughing and telling the world that Narato is plenty good enough without him – he will do the business alone, next (B+). [COLOR="blue"]Kid Toma vs Kazuma Narato[/COLOR] These two fought as if they didn’t like each other, with plenty of stiff shots and strikes. Toma was forced to do the job though, Narato hitting the Kyoto Drop for the win at 10.55. [I][COLOR="blue"]Kazuma Narato beat Kid Toma[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Mean Jean Cattley was shown out back, and he told Hoshino that he made a critical error last week. He put Cattley and Zimmy Bumfhole together as a team – and they worked together to show Hoshino defeat. It may be every man for himself tonight, but no-one was going to team up with Hoshino (B-). Sam Baker is then shown cutting an interview, when Akima storms over to him. He tells him to stop making excuses – he wanted to steal Akima’s limelight, to try and kick start his career. He tells Baker it’s not going to happen, and heads to the ring to prove it (B-). [COLOR="blue"]Akima Brave vs Sam Baker[/COLOR] Baker fought trong style here, with various cheating rakes thrown in. Akima fought back, and went for the Suicide Headbutt, but hit Baker’s knees instead. Baker seized the opportunity and got the pin with the rope assist at 8.27. [I][COLOR="blue"]Sam Baker beat Akima Brave[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] The cameras cut to Kid Toma looking frustrated, when Samoan Machine comes over to him. He tells Toma to not take one loss to heart – he his title shot to Hoshino, but is fighting as hard as he can to get another shot when his time comes. He suggests that next week he takes on Sam Baker to get revenge fro Akima’s loss, leaving Toma feeling better (B). Brock Steel was then shown sidling up to Fiona Flame, telling her that after he wins the National Title, perhaps she’d like to hook up with a champion. Fiona backs up into the arms of Thompson, and tells Steel that she’s quite happy with the championship belt where it is (B-). Eisaku Hoshino was then shown chilling with Narato, telling the world he was going to watch his colleagues win yet another match, before showing Cattley and Bumfhole that there’s no way they’ll be co-operating once they smell gold – his gold (A*). We then cut back to Fiona Flame, who Cherry Bomb has just come up to. The Canadian tells Flame that she needs to find a proper man, and drags over Flanders, claiming that no-one would touch her man (C+). Somewhere along the lines those segments got severely out of order. [COLOR="blue"]Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu (c) vs Flemmemental[/COLOR] for the USPW Tag Team Titles Sun Tzu was the unstoppable monster, but the faces had a chance when Katayama was in the ring. Flemmy Lemming tied Katayama up in the Suicide Solution, when Sun Tzu levelled him with his title belt, earning the DQ at 8.12. [I][COLOR="blue"]Flemmemental beat Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu[/COLOR] by DQ (C+)[/I] Cut to Emilio, who said that he was happy for Joss Thompson and Brock Steel to distract each other, as he’ll be there to pick up the pieces (B-). Samoan Machine was then shown walking passed Flanders and Cherry Bomb, who were sharing in a Public Display of Affection. Machine just stood their shaking his head, reminding Flanders to save some energy for his match. In stepped Mainstream Hernandez to pull Flanders away, as Cherry Bomb stared on (B-). Then Thompson was out for his title defence, seconded by Fiona Flame. [COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson (c) vs Brock Steel vs Emilio[/COLOR] for the USPW National Title The two lightweights teamed up well against Steel, briefly forcing him out of the ring. Thompson and Emilio had an exchange in the ring, before Steel re-entered to level both men. Steel dumped Emilio out of the ring, before working over Thompson. He hit a DVD, but the pin was broken up by Emilio. He tried to lock in the Champagne Breakfast, but was forced off by Steel. Emilio climbed to the top rope, but was crotched by Steel, and fell to the outside. Steel turned around straight into a Clean Cutter from Thompson, and he retained his title at 11.37. [I][COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson beat Brock Steel and Emilio [/COLOR]to retain the USPW National Title (C+)[/I] A furious Steel grabbed Fiona Flame by the hair, but Emilio pulled him back into the ring, allowing Thompson and Flame to leave (C+). Samoan Machine then cut a promo against Flanders, telling him that he had let himself become a pawn in Cherry Bomb’s plans, and needed to focus to actually give him a challenge next (B-). [COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine vs Clifford Flanders[/COLOR] Flanders was out with both Cherry Bomb and Mainstream Hernandez at his time, who didn’t seem to be able to get with one another. Flanders brawled with his Samoan opponent, and carried on strong despite some stiff forearms. Hernandez and Bomb tried to help Flanders, with Cherry Bomb getting in an unseen low blow. Flanders pulled Bomb away, not appreciating the help, when Mainstream Hernandez leapt up the ringpost. He hit a dropkick on Samoan Machine, leaving Flanders to shake his head and leave the ring, getting counted out at 13.22. [I][COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine beat Clifford Flanders[/COLOR] by count out (C+)[/I] Cherry Bomb and Mainstream Hernandez stood in the ring arguing with each other, before being ushered out of the ring by the ref (C+). Zimmy Bumfhole was then shown out back, getting his promo chance before the Main Event. And it was the best promo he had ever made – pointing out how USA would end the Japanese reign at USPW (A*). Opening video (A*), and then: [COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino (c) vs Zimmy Bumfhole vs Mean Jean Cattley[/COLOR] for the USPW World Title A second Triple Threat match of the night, and this one far out shone the previous one. Generally it was kept as a very technical encounter, with the odd high flying moment. At times Cattley teamed with Zimmy Bumfhole, at time he managed to switch to Hoshino’s side. Eventually Hoshino and Bumfhole got fed up off Cattley teaming with the stronger person, and teamed up to dump him out of the ring. Towards the end of the match, Cattley and Hoshino were brawling outside, when Zimmy took them both out with a Suicide Dive. He started to drag Cattley back into the ring, but was caught by a suplex from the ring apron by Hoshino, sending him crashing to the floor outside. This completely eliminated Zimmy from the equation, and the match boiled down to Hoshino vs Cattley. Cattley tried for the Mood Swing, but left himself open to the Deathlock STF, and tapped out at 22.12. [I][COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino beat Zimmy Bumfhole and Mean Jean Cattley [/COLOR]to retain the USPW World Title (A)[/I] Hoshino grabbed his title high above the air, while Zimmy Bumfhole was attended by medics outside the ring (A*). [I]Overall Rating B[/I]

5,000 sell out, and we rather relied on s strong Main Event – which we got. 3,240 buys (second highest ever), and one real surprise when Sam Baker defeated Akima Brave. Unsurprisingly this came about due to yet another DaVE raid, and they will now take on this talented Samoan. I could tell them that his overness in capped at C+, but that’d be too useful. The event was also a bit of an experiment with finding out overness caps, and I’m now pretty sure that I’ve found 4 other people at their caps. This may explain why a few different people get pushed over the next few months. Announced for Tuesday: Kid Toma vs Sam Baker Sun Tzu vs Flemmy Lemming Emilio vs Kazuma Narato Eisaku Hoshino (c) vs Mean Jean Cattley for the USPW World Title

Tuesday – [FONT="Arial Black"]USPW On the Move[/FONT] We treated the fans attending with three squashes, first Brock Steel beating Phenomenal E (C+), then Clifford Flanders defeating Japanese Dragon (C+) before finally Samoan Machine beat Jacob Jett (C+). [COLOR="Blue"]Kid Toma vs Sam Baker[/COLOR] The show opened with a match made at USPW Americana, Toma getting revenge for Akima’s parting defeat by beating Baker with a Long Range Head Butt at 4.48. [I][COLOR="blue"]Kid Toma beat Sam Baker[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Samoan Machine joined Kid Toma in the ring to congratulate his countrymen. They agreed to stick together (B-), when Cherry Bomb appeared from outback. She said that last week Samoan Machine didn’t deserve to win his match against Clifford Flanders, and only did because of Mainstream Hernandez’s distraction. Well, she will put an end to their arguments – she wants to fight Hernandez now, and whoever loses will keep well out of Flanders’ way (B-). Mainstream Hernandez is out, and he accepts (C-). [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez vs Cherry Bomb[/COLOR] Short and poor, Cherry Bomb hitting the Cherry Popper to pick up the victory at 3.17. [I][COLOR="blue"]Cherry Bomb beat Mainstream Hernandez[/COLOR] (C-)[/I] Clifford Flanders is out after the match, and gets into the ring with Cherry Bomb. The two stare at one another, before the ex-boxer nods his head, and walks off with his new manager (C+). We then cut outback, where Mean Jean Cattley is being interviewed. He said that although he took the pin in the World Title match last week, he is still standing, left healthy to take another shot tonight. He dismisses Zimmy’s challenge, telling the world that he doubts he will ever dare set foot in the ring with either him or Hoshino ever again (B+). A video was then shown on Flemmemental beating the Tag Champion at Americana by DQ (C), before the next singles match. [COLOR="blue"]Sun Tzu vs Flemmy Lemming[/COLOR] As usual, Flemmy proved a slippery person to catch, and frustrated his large opponent. Once Tzu got him there was no escape, and Tzu got the pin after a Bomb of War at 5.31. [I][COLOR="blue"]Sun Tzu beat Flemmy Lemming[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] The Tag Champions celebrated, and were joined by Kazuma Narato (C+). That’s when Emilio came out, and said he would ensure that Team Japan would not have a 100% record tonight, and make sure he got a one on one title shot with Joss Thompson for the National Title (B-). The Tag Champions left, and the match began. [COLOR="blue"]Emilio vs Kazuma Narato[/COLOR] Emilio gave everything he had here, and really had Narato reeling. Narato kept coming back into it, but Emilio was always ready with a submission move or reversal to break things up. He tied Narato up with the Champagne Breakfast, when the Tag Champions came out to distract the ref. He missed Narato tapping, and Brock Steel levelling Emilio with a chair shot. He dragged Narato onto Emilio, ensuring the win for the Japanese man at 9.28. [I][COLOR="blue"]Kazuma Narato beat Emilio[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Steel took a mic on the way from the ring, and told the world that no-one would get in the way of his title hunt – and next week he would meet Emilio to determine the number one contender to the National Title (C+). Hoshino was then out, confident of making it a clean sweep for Team Japan, as pinning Cattley was something he proved he could do last week (A). [COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino (c) vs Mean Jean Cattley[/COLOR] for the USPW World Title Cattley actually managed to get the crowd on his side here, desperate were they to see a title change. It was a clinical technical encounter, but Team Japan were out to support their leader. The ref tried to ensure that there was no interference, but there was too many of them, and it was Narato left for the assist as Hoshino got the pin at 13.35. [I][COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino beat Mean Jean Cattley[/COLOR] to retain the USPW World Title (B)[/I] Cattley was thrown from the ring, and Sun Tzu raised Hoshino high above his shoulders with the champion holding up his belt. They did not notice Zimmy Bumfhole hit the ring, and he was free to kick Tzu’s legs out form underneath him, causing both him and Hoshino to collapse to the mat. Katayama jumped onto Zimmy, and Narato climbed up the nearest ringpost. He forgot about Cattley, who pulled him down to the outside, while Zimmy hit the Bumfhole in One on Katayama. Sun Tzu was knocked back down by a dropkick, and Zimmy finally got the chance to go after Hoshino. He savagely attacked the champion, before the locker room emptied to separate the brawling parties (A). [I]Overall Rating B-[/I]

Another weak show with a good Main Event, seen by a sell out crowd of 2,000. A Zimmy Bumfhole attack showed the world that he was still in the World Title hunt – none too surprising being that the next PPV, USPW Stars and Stripes, is just two weeks away. PRIDE Koiso has been released by PGHW. I’ll have to keep an eye on his worldwide availability! Juanita Head’s USPW contract has been terminated, with nothing for her to do (and she’s not cheap).

[eayragt]

Tuesday – [FONT="Arial Black"]USPW On the Move[/FONT] Two dark matches, Giant Redwood beat the re-signed Fox Mask (C+), and then Joss Thompson beat Flemmy Lemming (B). The show opened with Sir Adam in the ring, calling out Giant Redwood for a one on one match. Redwood appears to say that it will not be today – they will fight in two weeks at Stars and Stripes (C+). But first, he has someone who wants to fight Sir Adam – and brings out Eiskau Hoshino (A*)! [COLOR="Blue"]Sir Adam vs Eisaku Hoshino[/COLOR] Hoshino sold Adam’s offence, but would not release the Deathlock STF when it was applied, getting the submission win at 5.10. [I][COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino beat Sir Adam[/COLOR] (B)[/I] Hoshino took a mic after the match and addressed Zimmy Bumfhole. He said that the post match attack last week was disgraceful, and personally, he thought Zimmy should be banned for a month. However, when he approached Danny Jillefski, he was told that it wasn’t going to happen, and they’d have to sort things out in the ring. Hoshino smiled, and said that was even better – he could make sure Zimmy was out of action permanently. In nine days time, at USPW Stars and Stripes, Hoshino says he will retire that stupidest named person in wrestling – Zimmy Bumfhole (A*). Sun Tzu was then out for his match, and he took the mic off Hoshino. Tzu roared that he would not be beaten, and that he would finish American Elemental like he did Flemmy Lemming last week (B). That’s right – he’s grasped English, and he can work a mic! [COLOR="blue"]American Elemental vs Sun Tzu[/COLOR] Elemental jumped off the top ropes right into Tzu’s arm, and was given a Bomb of War at 1.48. [I][COLOR="blue"]Sun Tzu beat American Elemental[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] After the match a graphic was shown on the screens showing that Flemmemental would be getting a rematch for the Tag Team Titles at Stars and Stripes (C+). Mean Jean Cattley was shown giving an interview backstage, asking how Hoshino had forgotten about him – there was no way that anyone could say that he had been beaten fairly last week. He was about to go on when Kazuma Narato flew into him, knocking him to the ground, and then giving him a stiff kick to the face. Yes, this is an official face turn for Cattley (B-)! We then cut over to Cherry Bomb, who told Samoan Machine that Flanders was a much different prospect now tonight – he was properly focused, and would be taking the victory (B). Emilio then came to the ring for the Number One Contender match for the National Title, but while he was on the way down to the ring Brock Steel charged from behind. Steel leapt at Emilio, but Thompson was there to pull the Mexican away, making Steel eat barrier. With no post match attack, Emilio actually had a chance, unlike last time (C). [COLOR="blue"]Emilio vs Brock Steel[/COLOR] Average match, which Steel decided needing livening up with a chair. Thompson tried to pull it off him, but failed, but gave Emilio the distraction to drop kick it into Steel’s face. Emilio gave Steel a DDT, and pinned him at 6.49. [I][COLOR="blue"]Emilio beat Brock Steel[/COLOR] (C)[/I] Thompson applauded Emilio, and took a mic to say that he would enjoy facing the Mexican at Stars and Stripes next week (B). Then Samoan Machine was out, announcing that it didn’t matter who was in Flanders’ corner – he was still the better man, and would win again (B). [COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine vs Clifford Flanders[/COLOR] Samoan Machine was all about trying to apply his Sleeper, but Flanders fought viciously to ensure that it could not be applied. He matched up well with his opponent, but a Cherry Bomb assist it what sealed it for him, low blowing the Samoan into a Spinning Piledriver at 11.45. [I][COLOR="blue"]Clifford Flanders beat Samoan Machine[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] A furious Samoan Machine backed Cherry Bomb into the corner after the match, but was clobbered from behind by Flanders. Bomb ordered Flanders to pick Samoan Machine up, but changed her mind and beckoned him out the ring when Toma sprinted from out back to help his colleague (C+). Zimmy was then out, and asked the crowd if he heard correctly – Hoshino was mocking his name? Eisaku – what the hell’s that all about? It didn’t matter – he wanted his silly name to be inscribed on the USPW World Title – and that would only happen after he won next week (A*). [COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole vs Phenomenal E[/COLOR] Amazingly this isn’t a chemistry thing – it’s just two high fliers matching up really well at the end of a hot event. Anyhow, it was a showcase for Zimmy, and he won at 6.28 with a Bumhole in One. [I][COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole beat Phenomenal E [/COLOR](B+)[/I] Team Japan were out after the match, and slowly made there way down to the ring. However, Cattley and Joss Thompson joined Zimmy in the ring, and the two sides just faced each other off as the show ended (B+). [I]Overall Rating B[/I]

A better show than I was expecting for our finale on National Pride TV. The show, which sold out with 2,000 attendees, also crossed the 70,000 viewers for the first time ever. And once again we were rated as a better show than SWF Supreme TV, where Joe Sexy and Flex teamed for the first time to win the Tag Titles off Team Thunder (Eddie Peak and Sam Keith). TCW came in level with us with a strong Main Event of Heavyweight Champion BLZ Bubb defeating Rick Law. The pre show saw the redebut of Fox Mask, former partner of Silver Shark. He is expected to be entered into the Tag Team division somewhere along the line. It also saw the first mic work from Sun Tzu, who has now fully mastered the English language. And has A* mic skills. This youngster could become even more dominant! Also, Cattley has now turned face. A natural heel, we’ll see how well he does in this run.

[B]June:[/B] Small profit last month, but of more importance is our first show on the Pop! Network, and it’s the warm up for USPW Stars and Stripes. Announced for Thursday: Sir Adam vs Brock Steel Kid Toma vs Clifford Flanders Emilio vs Phenomenal E Flemmy Lemming vs Eisaku Hoshino in a non-title match Zimmy Bumfhole, Mean Jean Cattley and Joss Thompson vs Kazuma Narato, Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu Yes, it’s moved to Thursdays. Can’t remember doing that, but I must have done! Exodus USA have gone bust, which is actually big news, as there were a couple of people working there who didn’t want to commit to a fourth fed (ie USPW).

Thursday –[FONT="Arial Black"] USPW On the Move[/FONT] Two dark matches, The Lords of War beating Japanese Dragon and Sam Baker (C) and Samoan Machine beating Kritical Kondition (C). [COLOR="Blue"]Sir Adam vs Brock Steel[/COLOR] The show opened with a brawl, interrupted by Giant Redwood who attacked Sir Adam, causing the DQ at 5.58. [I][COLOR="blue"]Sir Adam beat Brock Steel[/COLOR] by DQ (C)[/I] Redwood continued the attack, so the American Patriots charged out to help, but in turn were taken out by The Lords of War. In the end the three heels managed to litter their opponents across various parts of the ring before leaving (C). We cut to out back, where Joss Thompson was pseaking to Zimmy Bumfhole, unsure of if they could trust Cattley. Mean Jean came over, and told them not to worry – they’ve teamed before well, and that’s when they truly were enemies. However now they’ve got a common goal – Team Japan, and they can trust him (A). Samoan Machine and Kid Toma were then down to the ring, getting on the mic to say that they had a match drawn up for tomorrow, when they’d team together to face Clifford Flanders and Cherry Bomb (C+). However tonight there’s a preview, with Toma taking on Flanders. [COLOR="blue"]Kid Toma vs Clifford Flanders[/COLOR] Flanders came out with Cherry Bomb, and the two partners fully involved themselves in the match. With Samoan Machine brawling with Flanders and Toma and Cherry Bomb duking it out, the ref gave up and called the no contest at 7.12. [I][COLOR="blue"]Kid Toma and Clifford Flanders fought to a no contest[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Cherry Bomb dragged Flanders out fo the ring, then took a mic to tell her opponents that she looks forward to getting her hands dirty tomorrow (B-). Mean Jean Cattley is then shown backstage, with a smileon his face. He announces that he’s managed to get a match signed up for tomorrow against Kazuma Narato, and that would just be the beginning of his plow through Team Japan (B). [COLOR="blue"]Emilio vs Phenomenal E[/COLOR] We gave the National Title challenger a little show off here, and will admit to being slightly disappointing with the result. Ed tapped out to the Champagne Breakfast at 5.54. [I][COLOR="blue"]Emilio beat Phenomenal E[/COLOR] (C)[/I] Emilio had the mic time to tell Thompson that he hopes that he doesn’t get too distracted with the Japanese folk, otherwise he’ll take his eye off their match tomorrow, and he’ll be waiting to take his National Title (B-). We then cut over to Phenomenal E as Sam Baker comes up to him. Baker tell Phenomenal E that he’s found out there’s going to be a four corners match at Stars and Stripes to determine the Number One contenders to the Tag Team Titles. He says that they should enter, as they used to be some team together. Ed seems to agree, and the two walk off together (C+). Flemmemental then come down to the ring, taking mics on the way. They announce that despite their losses to Tzu, they are still confident of taking the Tag Team Titles tomorrow (B-). Hoshino then comes out flanked by Sun Tzu, but the World Champion tells Tzu to stay out back before entering the ring (A*). [COLOR="blue"]Flemmy Lemming vs Eisaku Hoshino[/COLOR] in a non-title match Phenomenal little technical encounter, with more reversals than you could shake a sock at. Eh? Anyway, Sun Tzu came out to help Hoshino, but he was warded off by Hoshino, despite almost having the Suicide Solution locked onto him. Another reversal got him out and the Deathlock STF locked in, with Lemming tapping out at 7.34. [I][COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino beat Flemmy Lemming[/COLOR] (B+)[/I] Hoshino took the mic, and said that he didn’t need Sun Tzu to help him, like Zimmy needed his little friends help. When it comes to one on one in the ring, Hoshino says he we always reign supreme, and he’s looking nforward to doing some serious damage tomorrow – if there’s anything left of Zimmy (A*). Zimmy’s out to rebuff Hoshino, telling him that talks all well and good, but once in the ring together, he will prove that the Japanese man has no honour – and no class (A*). [COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole, Mean Jean Cattley and Joss Thompson vs Kazuma Narato, Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu[/COLOR] 11.40 and Tzu wasn’t exhausted? Wow, his stamina must be improving, while the other two must have done a really good job of covering for him. Thompson and Katayama took back seats, with the other four having been made out to be the real threats recently. Tzu Bombed Thompson but was rescued by Zimmy, before Narato was tagged in. Zimmy went for the Bumfhole in One, but was blasted from behind by Hoshino’s title belt, ending the match in disqualification. [I][COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole, Mean Jean Cattley and Joss Thompson beat Kazuma Narato, Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu[/COLOR] by DQ (B)[/I] The heels formed a circle around Hoshino, while the Champion showed a groggy Zimmy his title, saying that he would never get this close to it ever again (A*).

Well, that’s a way to start a show for a new network! What were our viewing figures? Okay, time to explain… When I sorted out the new contract, I wanted to see if I could get a show before 11:00pm. I couldn’t do this on Tuesday’s as it would clash with TCW, so I proposed a show on Thursday at 10:00pm. This was declined, so I went back to Tuesday at 11:00pm. Apart from I must have left the recording on Thursday. Now, my PPV’s are planned on a Friday, but as the last show hasn’t been televised, it’s going to have to be moved to Tuesday or Wednesday, which will clash with SWF and TCW shows for Tuesday, or DaVE and SWF on Wednesday. I’m going for Wednesday. Annoyingly this is my first three season contract, so I’m stuck for a while with it. Who knows what I’ll do for Thanksgiving. And I renewed the USPW Just us contract, so we announced a different show to what we broadcast. And because of this delay we just took an unscheduled two week break. I rock. Captain USA has signed with CGC. Didn’t he learn from his disastrous NOTBPW run? Just in case anyone thought we’d be re-signing Silver Shark to team with Fox Mask, he’s just been jailed for assaulting a police officer. Just as well I’ve already found Foxy a tag partner! Okay, got to Tuesday, we drew 65,000 viewers, which is a slight drop for us. But only just. Tomorrow – USPW Stars and Stripes (as long as it's scheduled on the correct day)!

I'll have to say that after reading the whole diary all at once I like it more than Scarpiano's SWF diary which is a close number two. I liked that you used a more OOC look, I liked knowing who hit an overness cap, who had good chemistry with who. However, you have no Heidenreich challenge guy. What I'd like to see is after each show after your general show report, a detailed profile of each character. What are their strengths+weakness, what is their momentum, what's the gimmick rating, and if they are from the damaged freeverse or randomly generated what's their size and style. Also I'd like to know if you think they've reached their overness cap. What would happen if you and Scarpiano worked together on a diary!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wednesday – [SIZE="5"][FONT="Arial Black"]USPW Stars and Stripes[/FONT][/SIZE] A stroke of good luck for our dark match, where good chemistry came out as Warlord Pain defeated Japanese Dragon with the assist from Warlord Agony (C+). Hype from Samoan Machine and Emilio, then we cut to PPV. As usual, our opening video went down well (A*), before our first match. [COLOR="Blue"]Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu (c) vs Flemmemental [/COLOR]for the USPW Tag Team Titles To be honest, this one was pretty poor. The complete focus was Sun Tzu, but he blew up, and Katayama had to really save the match. Tzu gave American Elemental the Bomb of War to retain the titles at 7.34. [I][COLOR="blue"]Suzue Katayama and Sun Tzu beat Flemmemental[/COLOR] to retain the USPW Tag Team Titles (C)[/I] Tzu and Katayama showed off their titles (C+), before the American Patriots were shown outback with Sir Adam. Captain USA wished Adam the best of luck, and said they would be out if there was any sign of the Lords of War (B-). [COLOR="blue"]Sir Adam vs Giant Redwood[/COLOR] Very brief big man brawl, with Redwood picking up the win after bouncing Adam off an exposed turnbuckle at 5.02. [I][COLOR="blue"]Giant Redwood beat Sir Adam[/COLOR] (C)[/I] We cut to outback where the Tag Team Champions had found Hoshino. Tzu did all the talking, saying that they were going to dominate USPW for years to come, and he’d be at Hoshino’s side all the way (A). We then played a video of [B]Eddie Chandler[/B], promoting him as a champion all across North America, and coming to USPW soon (B-). [COLOR="blue"]The American Patriots vs Phenomenal E and Sam Baker vs Back in the Day vs The Flying Animals[/COLOR] This match saw the Fox Mask and The Eagle teaming for the first time, and they showed great chemistry together. It’s a pity that The Eagle’s contract is running out and he refuses to negotiate at the moment as I haven’t used him for a while. The strongest two teams were the newcomers and The American Patriots, but when Whistler hit a Hail to the Chief on Sam Baker, The Lords of War ran down into the ring. They laid out everyone in sight, while Back in the Day wisely slunk out of the ring. With everyone down, the ref ruled the match a no contest at 9.31. [I][COLOR="blue"]No contest[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Whistler recovered a flag from ringside and tried to hit Warlord Pain with it, but he caught it and reversed the blow, smashing Whister to the ground. Fox Mask went for a Moonsault on Agony, but was caught mid air and slammed the rest of the way to the ground. No-one moved as the Lords left the ring victoriously (C+). We cut to the back where Zimmy Bumfhole was with Joss Thompson, wishing his partner the best for his title defence next (A). [COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson (c) vs Emilio[/COLOR] for the USPW National Title Pleased with this match, as I thought that it could have turned out to be another average C+ match. Excellent mat work, Emilio not looking out of place getting a title shot at all. He missed a high flying move, and when he got up was exposed to the Clean Cutter, and took the clean pin at 10.37. [I][COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson beat Emilio[/COLOR] to retain the USPW National Title (B-)[/I] We cut backstage, and to two more newcomers. [B]Jenny Playmate[/B] was with [B]Frankie Perez[/B], and said that they were impressed with Joss Thompson. However, they have signed themselves to USPW, and Frankie wants to prove himself early – with a title match against Thompson (C+). We then cut over to where Samoan Machine and Kid Toma are preparing for an interview when Cherry Bomb strolls past with Clifford Flanders. Cherry Bomb tells the Samoans to not waste their time chatting – the real business is about to happen in the ring (B-). [COLOR="blue"]Samoan Machine and Kid Toma vs Clifford Flanders and Cherry Bomb[/COLOR] Cherry Bomb fought as hard as everyone else here, the commentators reminding everyone that she did participate in the Main Event of USPW International Challenge earlier this year. Samoan Machine was strong, but tagged in Toma who went for a flying head butt, and missed. It was an easy job for Flanders to pick up the younger Samoan, and hit a Spinning Piledriver for the victory at 10.41. [I][COLOR="blue"]Clifford Flanders and Cherry Bomb beat Samoan Machine and Kid Toma [/COLOR](C+)[/I] We cut back to Joss Thompson, who’s with Zimmy Bumhole and Mean Jean Cattley. Thompson says that he welcomes all newcomers, and will put his title on the line next week on USPW Just Us (recorded tomorrow, but that just confuses things) against Perez (B). One by one first Cattley (B) then Zimmy (A*) inform the crowd how they will both win tonight, and slowly break up Team Japan. [COLOR="blue"]Mean Jean Cattley vs Kazuma Narato[/COLOR] Not as good as we’ve had before – these two met while chasing DuBois’ title. Unlike that time, Narato had no help here, and fell to the Mood Swing at 17.29. [I][COLOR="blue"]Mean Jean Cattley beat Kazuma Narato[/COLOR] (B-)[/I] Hoshino cut an interview before he came out, saying that he would ensure that that was the only defeat that Japan would take tonight, and that he’d never allow Zimmy the title (A*). The opening video was replayed (A*), then the competitors were out. [COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino (c) vs Zimmy Bumfhole[/COLOR] for the USPW World Title Yes. The announcing quality wasn’t up the standard of the match. But I have no problem with that as the match was awesome. These two showed their all round games, and managed to beat even the DuBois / Hoshino battles that were occurring at the turn of the year. There was the ever present threat of Sun Tzu, but he was waved out of the ring by Hoshino, who seemed determined to get the job done by himself. It wasn’t all clean though, as Hoshino whipped Zimmy across the ring, and he was met by a belt shot from Sun Tzu. Joss Thompson came out to start brawling with Tzu, but a staggering Zimmy fell to an Explosion Suplex, and took the pin at 23.09. [I][COLOR="blue"]Eisaku Hoshino beat Zimmy Bumfhole[/COLOR] to retain the USPW World Title [/I][SIZE="5"](A*)[/SIZE] Sun Tzu didn’t let up, and crashed Thompson through the ring barriers, before dragging Zimmy out of the ring and dumping him on top of his partner (B-).

Strong attendance at 9,078, strong buys at 4,927, and a strong Main Event with USPW’s first ever A* rated match. Not one to boost but we out rated both the SWF and DaVE show last night (okay, so we should really as we made people pay for it). Three debuts last night – two at the arena, and all former EX-USA workers. Jenny Playmate will be managing Frankie Perez (who’s held titles for CZCW, PWMAX and EX-USA), who gets a National Title shot at Joss Thompson tomorrow. On video we saw Eddie Chandler, who’s held the top titles at CGC, PWMAX and EX-USA. A star a Canada he’s got a cult following in USA. And is one of the most talented wrestlers left on the indy circuit (along with Samoan Machine, Zimmy Bumfhole and Eisaku Hoshino – heard of them?). At SWF Essentials (which hardly any of the US gets to see), T-Rex lost his North American Title to former DaVE worker Chris Caulfield, his first title since jumping ship in 2006.

Thursday – [FONT="Arial Black"]USPW Just Us[/FONT] Three dark matches, Cherry Bomb beating Fiona Flame (C), The Flying Animals beat Sam Baker and Phenomenal E (C+), and Giant Redwood beat Masked Beast (C-). [COLOR="Blue"]Sir Adam vs Kritical Kondition[/COLOR] Sir Adam came out to face the rugged Kritical Kondition, who was getting debut TV time. He was pushed as a rugged never quit fighter, but fell to a Dragon Slayer from his larger opponent at 5.38. [I][COLOR="blue"]Sir Adam beat Kritical Kondition[/COLOR] (C)[/I] At the end of the match Giant Redwood appeared on the top of the stage, and mock bowed Sir Adam. Redwood said that Adam was not worthy of the title of “Sir” after his defeat at Stars and Stripes, and said that he’d would take the title off him (C+). We then cut over to Sun Tzu who looked as if he was about to cut an interview, when Joss Thompson came over and got in his face. Thompson asked Tzu how it felt to actually be taught a lesson last night. Tzu pushed Thompson away and said that he learnt no lesson – he stayed in Hoshino’s corner, and he helped him win. Thompson pushed Tzu back, and it looked as if a fight would start when Zimmy Bumfhole and Kazuma Narato appeared, dragging their friends away from each other (B). [COLOR="blue"]The Samoans vs Back in the Day[/COLOR] Toma and Samoan Machine got back onto the winning track here, Samoan Machine making Rick Sanders tap to the Unbreakable Sleeper at 6.35. [I][COLOR="blue"]The Samoans beat Back in the Day[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] The Samoans stayed in the ring after the match, and pointed out that there was no-one next in line to face the Tag Champions after The Lords of War ruined the Tag Team match at Stars and Stripes. Samoan Machine that they were throwing their hat in the ring, insisting that they were ready for the challenge (C+). We then saw the Eddie Chandler hype video from the PPV (C+), before cutting over to The Lords of War. They were watching a tape of Stars and Stripes, with them destroying the other Tag Teams, laughing with one another (B-). We then cut over to Frankie Perez, who had Jenny Playmate at his side, who said that he was honoured to be given a title shot on his debut, and promised a result (B-). Joss Thompson was then shown preparing himself when Zimmy came up to him, and they shook hands for luck. Then Cattley came over, hand extended, but Thompson had turned away to head to the ring (B+). [COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson (c) vs Frankie “P-Dawg” Perez[/COLOR] It’s amazing how many debuts I’ve given which have resulted in a non clicking match. Maybe I really need to practice out some dark combinations beforehand. Anyway, Perez started fast with some viscous strikes, and tried to lock in the P-Clutch. Thompson fought him off, and slowly started to take advantage. He locked in the Joss Lock, when Suzue Katayama dragged to ref out of the ring. Sun Tzu entered with Thompson still concentrating on Perez, and he climbed to the middle turnbuckle. He splashed both men, before lifting Thompson above his head. The ref re-entered to try and get Tzu to stop, but he hit the Bomb of War, and got Thompson the DQ win at 7.58. [I][COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson beat Frankie Perez [/COLOR]by DQ (C)[/I] Perez got into Tzu face, but was swatted away by the bigger man. He leaned down to grab Thompson by the throat, when Zimmy Bumfhole ran out to cause the Tag Champions to bail (B-). Zimmy made sure his colleague was okay before taking the mic. He said that Tzu did succeed at Stars and Stripes, and he did manage to make sure his leader kept his World Title. However, that wasn’t going to put him off – he was as on the trail as ever, and would be looking for another title shot (A*). We then cut to Clifford Flanders who was watching the monitor, before turning around to Cherry Bomb, He told Bomb that Zimmy had had his chance – he wanted the World Title shot. He demanded that Cherry Bomb prove herself as a manager and sort that out for him, while he sorted out Emilio (B-). [COLOR="blue"]Emilio vs Clifford Flanders[/COLOR] The commentators debated Flanders worthyness of a World Title shot, but he did himself no harm here, with a comprehensive victory. He used his Spinning Piledriver to eran the victory at 3.57. [I][COLOR="blue"]Clifford Flanders beat Emilio[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Backstage and Cattley and Zimmy were getting ready for the Main Event, when Thompson came over and asked Cattley where he was earlier, when he was getting attacked. Cattley asked Thompson if he was their guardian now, but Zimmy got between them and told them to save it for their opponents (B+). Hoshino, Narato and Tzu were the first out for the Main Event, Hoshino proudly showing off his title, and saying how Zimmy and Jean would be put out of business next (A*). [COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole and Mean Jean Cattley vs Eisaku Hoshino, Kazuma Narato and Sun Tzu[/COLOR] Now this was a great match, which swung both ways. The faces started confidently, but the heels numbers begun to count. After Narato missed a Kyoto Drop the faces begun to rally again, and they had their opponents on the ropes until Tzu managed to take them both out with a double clothesline. As they struggled up Tzu ran towards the ropes to build up momentum, when Thompson appeared to pull the top tope down, causing Tzu to flip out of the ring, head first. Tzu had no defence on the floor, and Thompson unleashed a flurry of punches to his head. The ref gave Thompson a chance to stop, but he ignored him completely, and got his colleagues DQ’d at 12.10.

A good follow up show, which sold out our 2,000 seater home (and eventually had 63,000 viewers). Stellar main event, which surpassed my expectations. It more than made up for Frankie Perez’s less than successful debut, not meshing well with his technical opponent. New contracts after the show, with Joss Thompson and The Eagle (just) earning new deals, with two new signings as well (to make my roster even more bloated). At TCW they took the International Title off Eric Tyler, giving it to his tag partner RDJ, his first singles title. They remain Tag Champions (as Raw Power), but signs aren’t looking good for that lasting too much longer. Meanwhile at DaVE the Brass Knuckles Title has been taken off former boxer Ricardo Simmons, and back onto Lead Belly.

[eayragt]

Thursday – [FONT="Arial Black"]USPW Just Us[/FONT] In the dark Frankie Perez beat the returning Sean Stiles (C) in a match where both men were disappointingly off their games. It was followed by Eddie Chandler’s unofficial debut, defeating Japanese Dragon (C+). [COLOR="Blue"]Sun Tzu and Suzue Katayama (c) vs The Samoans[/COLOR] for the USPW Tag Team Titles This one was a close fought contest, with Sun Tzu dominating, but The Samoans coming back into it whenever Katayama hit the ring. Samoan Machine went for the Unbreakable Sleeper, but Katayama spun out, and went for the tag to her partner. She was surprised to find him not there, only the crowd aware that Tzu had been pulled off the ring apron by Joss Thompson. Samoan Machine capitalised and applied the sleeper, and with Tzu otherwise engaged got Katayama to tap at 8.18. [I][COLOR="blue"]The Samoans beat Sun Tzu and Suzue Katayama[/COLOR] to win the USPW Tag Team Titles (C+)[/I] Thompson legged it out back, where he was caught for a quick interview. He said that Tzu had underestimated him, and while he insists on messing with his business, he’ll be around in Tzu business, whenever he least expects it (B+). The announcers hype a rematch from Stars and Stripes happening tonight, where Mean Jean Cattley will take on Kazuma Narato later (B). We cut to Cattley, who says that he is here to prove himself a threat to Eisaku Hoshino’s World Title. He’s beaten Narato before, and will do it again, and is ready to step up to the next level, to capture the title that he has never held (B+). [COLOR="blue"]The Flying Animals vs Back in the Day[/COLOR] During the match the commentators announced that since teaming with one another, The Eagle and Fox Mask have yet to lose a match. The streak continued, with The Eagle pinning Kingman after a New Jersey Turnpike at 5.52. [I][COLOR="blue"]The Flying Animals beat Back in the Day[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] Sun Tzu was shown backstage, flinging open doors, demanding to know where Thompson was. He found a worker a grabbed him by the throat, and was not happy with the answer that he had already gone. Tzu threw the worker to the floor, and said that he’d have to find another way to make an impact (C+). [COLOR="blue"]American Patriots vs The Lords of War[/COLOR] The Lords of War dominated this one, and won with a Hostile Takeover on Whistler at 4.49. [I][COLOR="blue"]The Lords of War beat American Patriots[/COLOR] (C+)[/I] The Lords stayed in the ring and said that as the most dominant tag team on the roster, they demanded a match against The Samoans (C+). Danny Jillefski stood up and said that there was one other Tag Team that won today – The Flying Animals. The two teams would meet next week with the winners meeting The Samoans at USPW Independence Day Slam (C). We cut to where Cherry Bomb was with Clifford Flanders, Bomb saying that matches were started to be made for the next PPV. She told Flanders that if he wanted to Main Event Independence Day Slam, he needed to beat Zimmy Bumfhole in the Main Event tonight (B). Eddie Chandler was then shown backstage. He said that he had his wrestling gear tonight, but was not going to show everyone what he was capable of. He was going to make his in ring debut next week, where he had been told he was taking on American Elemental. He addressed American Elemental saying the American had one week of practice, one week to dig out the videos – then, he loses, with no excuses (B-). Cut to Zimmy and Cattley, where Cattley was asking Zimmy if it was true that Thompson had left. Zimmy confirmed it, to which Cattley shook his head, and asked who was going to watch their backs now. Zimmy told him that they’d have each others backs, starting now (A). [COLOR="blue"]Mean Jean Cattley vs Kazuma Narato[/COLOR] For some reason a better match than their PPV offering – I just hope people appreciate the free matches that I’m giving them. Narato hit the Kyoto Drop, but Cattley kicked out, and applied the Ankle Lock. That’s when Hoshino ran in and clocked him with his title belt, ending the match in DQ at 10.48. [I][COLOR="blue"]Mean Jean Cattley beat Kazuma Narato[/COLOR] by DQ (B)[/I] True to his word Zimmy was out, but the heels did not run. They put up a few minutes of resistance (A) before heading out of the ring, Hoshino grabbing a mic. Hoshino said that Cattley does not deserve to face him for his title, and as for Zimmy, he just made a rookie mistake of getting into a fight before a match (A*). Zimmy stayed in the ring, declaring himself more than fit for his match, and even getting Hoshino and Narato to promise that they would not interfere in it (A*). [COLOR="blue"]Zimmy Bumfhole vs Clifford Flanders[/COLOR] The crowd were behind Zimmy, but he seemed a little slow, due to his previous conflict with Hoshino and Narato. Cherry Bomb was a constant threat in Flanders corner, but Zimmy did well to keep her at bay. Zimmy went for a Bumfhole in One, when Cherry Bomb jumped to the ring apron. Zimmy looked on confused as Suzue Katayama pulled Cherry Bomb off the apron, and the two ladies argued. As the ref tried to send them away Sun Tzu entered the ring, first head butting and then giving Zimmy a bodyslam. Tzu snuck out from the ring as Clifford Flanders hit his Spinning Piledriver on Zimmy, picking up the win at 12.09. [I][COLOR="blue"]Clifford Flanders beat Zimmy Bumfhole [/COLOR](A)[/I] Flanders raised his arms victoriously as Tzu entered the ring, but backed out as Flanders stepped towards him, leaving him on his own (B-).

Wow, that’s eight shows, with only one rated below B. I’ve definitely found who I can rely on, and they’re performing well. Some people may be surprised by Clifford Flanders promotion to the Main Event, but his match with Zimmy showed that he’s earned it (not bad for someone with an E in wrestling basics). Another 2,000 sell out, and up to 70,000 viewers when it was shown on Tuesday. It out rated the TCW show, headlined by Eric Tyler falling short in his rematch with RDJ, and matched the rating of SWF. Which considering they had a World Title change (on their show that no-one watches) which saw Runaway Train topple Christian Faith, was quite impressive. Announced for Thursday: American Elemental vs Eddie Chandler Joss Thompson (c) vs Rick Sanders for the USPW National Title The Flying Animals vs The Lords of War Sir Adam vs Clifford Flanders
