....Damn. Bedlam looks.....different :p

 

There is a reason why he looks like that (apart from the world-class HIW props/makeup/merch department). All will become clear. Ish.

Next time from HIW:

Coming to you live in Ireland [or the HIW website].

 

UK Dragon vs. Victor Rodriguez (non-title bout)

 

UK Dragon seems beset by enemies with Sergei and underlings gunning for his title.

Victor is on a run of losing with his partner but is always dangerous on his own and as he’ll tell you destiny is on his side.

 

Youth Explosion (Leigh Burton & Ricky Storm) © vs. Street Gang (Danny

Appleseed & Russell Nixon) for the HIW tag titles

 

Joey Beauchamp challenged Leigh to a one on one match at Do or Die with any stipulation. Leigh will be responding to the challenge tonight and will want to make sure they retain momentum against two up-and-coming fighters.

 

Sharky George © vs Pitbull Brown vs. De Oranje Dieren for the HIW Death-Proof title

 

Sharky is of course the new Death-Proof champ but hasn’t defended the title since he electrocuted Bedlam last month. And now Darren of the ever-cheating Shortcuts has promised a run at the belt.

Pitbull is of course a prime contender in a match where toughness is key and no one has any idea what the Orange Animal is doing or thinking.

 

Dark Falcon © vs. Dolf Kernen for the HIW Velocity title

 

Dark Falcon has been defending this title against low-level workers but Dolf (as Sergei’s partner) has some serious backing. Will Falcon be able to cling to his principles here? If allies get involved can Super Falcon still be relied upon?

 

Double Dutch (Ruud van Anger & Frank de Pain) vs. The Melbourne Blondes (Rick Stantz & Blake Belushi)

 

Two teams with a spotty record get a chance to position themselves well. Youth Explosion are battling The Hustlers for the tag titles but the other teams know chances abound and their time will come.

 

The Foundation vs. Red & Jed

 

Kathleen and the Foundation managed to beat Rolling Johnny Stones and Pitbull Brown via DQ last month at New Beginnings but did they exhaust their ageing bodies in the process. What’s the next stage of Kathleen’s plan? Can they prove their own future against a much younger and hungrier team?

UK Dragon vs. Victor Rodriguez

Dragon won´t lose this one

 

Street Gang vs. Youth Explosion

Thanks for coming Street Gang and better luck next time

 

Sharky George © vs Pitbull Brown vs. De Oranje Dieren

No title change here

 

Dark Falcon © vs. Dolf Kernen

Kernen gets the title here while Sergei fails to beat Dragon which could make interesting storyline.

 

Double Dutch vs. The Melbourne Blondes

Ok I´m playing favorites here but this one is quite close on my opinion though I admit that Blondes probably have slight edge.

 

The Foundation vs. Red&Jed

I really like Red&Jed but so far they haven´t really got wins over anyone but jobbers and until they do I have to predict against them on these big matches.

Who is…

 

The Hustlers

 

The Hustlers are an experienced team in HIW and competed in the 7th greatest match in the company’s history in June 2004 where they lost to an uneasy team of Sharky George and UK Dragon.

 

Joey Beauchamp

 

http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8825/joeybeauchamp3.jpg

 

“I think everyone knows who I am now. The most talented, outrageous, sexy, successful and lucky wrestler that England has ever produced. People say I’m arrogant and they’re right. So was Olly Reed, so was Errol Flynn, so is Richard Branson. I see myself is the same camp as those people and so does everyone else. Success is in my blood.”

 

Joey has been with HIW since June 1997. He’s had 140 matches and won 81 of them. He held the HIW Championship from 01 to 02 when he lost to Sharky George. He also held the Tag titles for 14 matches with Fred Murray in 03/04.

 

Joey is a lightweight with a cruiserweight-style.

 

Fred Murray

 

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9711/fredmurray.jpg

 

“Wrestling’s aloight I suppose but me heart lies wit’ some o’ the great, classic Irish passions. Drinkin’, carousin’ and gamblin’. I’d rather sit down with a pint and a copy o’ the Racin’ post any day of the week.

 

“Havin’ said that you’ll not find me easy pickin’s. When you’re as good as Joey and me we can still beat you seven ways inside 5 short minutes. And you can put money on that.”

 

Fred has been with HIW since July 1997. He’s been in 131 matches with 61 wins. His only honour so far was the tag reign with Joey.

 

He is a middleweight regular wrestler.

 

 

Mystery

 

Not much is known about these two young masked wrestlers. They have wowed crowds at times (particularly at Full Force in December 2004 [70!]) but with no faces and little mic time the fans have struggled to get behind them so far. The two men seem to have some ideological issues and English and Scots teams are always prickly.

 

Scottish Elemental

 

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/528/scottishelemental.jpg

 

“I grew up bathing in highland springs of icy water and climbing crags of rocky wilderness. I tracked stags and TEDs and for me Trainspotting is a tale of domestic bliss. I’m hard like iron and bitter like frost. I’ve been preparing for fighting since the day I could walk. I am the next in the line of the most fearless fighters in the World. I am an Elemental.”

 

Scottish Elemental has been with HIW since November 2002. He’s been in 60 matches but although he has only won 11 so far rumours abound that HIW see him as a star in the making once he removes his mask…

 

Elemental is a lightweight who wrestles in the cruiser style.

 

English Avenger

 

http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/6153/englishavenger.jpg

 

“Europe is the Dragon. I am St George. I look at society and see it falling to pieces around me. Foreigners, foreign food and lax morals have removed the Great from Britain. I’m here to put that right giving England back to the English.”

 

English Avenger has been with HIW since November 2002. He has won just 9 of his 55 matches.

 

English Avenger is also a lightweight with a cruiser style.

Week 2 February 2005

Crescent Crown pub – Ireland

Attendance: 236

 

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg

 

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8106/thefearsomebunsen.jpg

 

The Fearsome Bunsen has recovered enough from his beating last week to talk to the fans herer in Ireland

 

“Sometime when creating something new you need to introduce a rogue element. In Geology we talk about erratics, chemistry has catalysts and everyone is familiar with the concept of chaos theory.

 

“As such I see it as on occupational hazard that sometimes my job can be a little hazardous. Having investigated a little it appears to me that when Sharky George threw Bedlam into that generator he was changed. Obviously it was damaging and the poor man has been really hurt but it also connected something. What that means we can only guess but I’m sure we will find out.”

 

D

 

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6013/sharkygeorge.jpg

 

Sharky George takes the opportunity to pin Bunsen down in one place [he’s a very busy man you know]

 

“I’m not happy mate. Not happy at all. These idiot kids the Shortcuts have been mouthing off about having a run for my Death-Proof title. All this time in HIW and they haven’t done jack. I’ve held titles and beaten big names in big matches so what makes them think they can touch me?

 

“Still I’m an honest man and where I come from ambition is a good thing so I’m going to give them a chance. At Do or Die me and a couple of mates will give them a real taste of what Death-Proof means. 3 of us, 3 of them and no rules."

Sharky George © vs. De Oranje Dieren vs. Pitbull Brown for the HIW Death-Proof title

 

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6013/sharkygeorge.jpghttp://img545.imageshack.us/img545/894/58339651.jpghttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3872/deoranjedieren.jpghttp://img545.imageshack.us/img545/894/58339651.jpghttp://img810.imageshack.us/img810/1876/pitbullbrownalt2.jpg

 

This match is a punchy affair with lots of strikes and impact moves from the two bigger men (Sharky and Pitbull) whilst the Dutch man(iac) tries to pick them off.

 

Pitbull goes toe-to-toe pretty impressively with the Aussie and things go even more his way when Shortcut Darren White appears at ringside and locks stares with Sharky. With the champ distracted Pitbull goes after Dieren but Sharky notices in time to make the save.

 

After that Sharky appears a little reinvigorated and manages to hit his feared Shark Attack on Dieren which is good enough for the win.

 

Winner: Sharky George by pinfall

Bedlam reveals himself to everyone in his new, purple, sparkly glory. You can clearly see the Welsh monster suffered in his encounter with electricity and it had some very odd side-effects.

 

The big man makes a show of revealing his body whilst looking furious.

 

"ZAP! Before that match with Sharky I was a terrible monster. Now I'm still a terrible monster. ZAP! But worse.

 

"I'm electric, I'm magnetic and I'm fully charged. ZAP!"

…but is interrupted by a great white firework exploding before Super Falcon swings in on a rope and drops next to Bedlam. The Portuguese crimefighter tweaks Bedlam’s nose and sprints away. Bedlam of course gives chase immediately. Which is when Dark Falcon appears

 

“People of HIW. We’ve seen the new Bedlam and how he was changed and we’re not impressed. Many normal men may be scared or amazed by his transformation but as everyone knows all true heroes need a villain to vanquish and we will do so using whatever means possible.

 

“Citizens –Os Falcoes will protect you or die trying.”

Dark Falcon © vs. Dolf Kernen for the HIW Velocity tile

 

http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6632/darkfalcon.jpghttp://img545.imageshack.us/img545/894/58339651.jpghttp://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1475/dolfkernen.jpg

 

Falcon seems at a disadvantage to Dolf here (who is quite a bit bigger) but impresses everyone with a combination of technique and bravery that really equalises things.

 

However Dolf is a slippery chap after all that time with Sergei Kalashnov and uses some dirty tactics to turn things his way.

 

Unfortunately for both men Super Falcon then reappears.

 

Pursued at high speed by the electrified Bedlam. The blue-clad crimefighter enters the ring and its clear that they are planning to try and get Dolf involved with the scuffle.

 

However with that sort of chaos the ref is forced to ring the bell for an abandonment. Not that anyone really notices as the Falcons hit a lovely slingshot on Bedlam before legging it.

 

Winner: Draw

Kathleen Lee and her Foundation come to the ring before their match

 

“Have you seen how pathetic they are? Rolling Johnny Stones was given a match with Sergei last week and got embarrassed. Pitbull got shown that he’s not good enough tonight in this very ring ever since we beat those two at New Beginnings they’ve fallen apart.

 

(Kathleen doesn’t mention they got beaten after her own dirty trick)

 

“But admittedly they are still standing if not talking to each other.

 

“As they seem so intent on NOT teaming together I propose a match. At Do or Die Stones and Pitbull will enter the ring with Leo and Stevie but not as a tag-team. But in a fatal four-way. If they want to stand on their own let’s see how they do.”

The Foundation (Leo Price & Stevie Stoat) vs. Red & Jed (Red Dragon & Jed High)

 

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8251/leoprice.jpghttp://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8900/steviestoat.jpghttp://img545.imageshack.us/img545/894/58339651.jpghttp://a.imageshack.us/img709/4193/reddragonself3.jpghttp://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9586/jasecolealt1tad5.jpg

 

This is a lesson in slick transitions as the two more experienced men put Jed in particular through a class.

 

They may be slow but Leo and Stoat still have great skills and tie the smaller men in so many knots it’s like watching Ben Ainslie.

 

The match is finished by a PipeCleaner from Leo.

 

Winners: The Foundation by pinfall

Double Dutch (Ruud van Anger & Frank de Pain) enter the ring first for the next match.

 

“HIW fansh and general British peoples, welcome to tonightsh greatesht match!”

 

“Ruud and I are very proud to be taking on shuch accomplished opponentsh and we hope you enjoy a good shcuffle ash much ash we do.”

 

“Sheriously – we love a shcrap and we cant wait to show you what we mean”

 

“In your shochiety it might not be ok to fight sho much but where we come from itsh normal”

 

“Wish ush luck everybody. Itsh time to GO DUTSCH!”

Double Dutch (Ruud van Anger & Frank de Pain) vs. The Melbourne Blondes (Blake Belushi & Rick Stantz)

This is a close match as all four men get loads of chance to impress. Both teams are slick and have their own defined style but it’s guile that wins out as multiple tags from the Dutch confuse the ‘limited’ Australians.

 

This serves to get them working at cross purposes and a Dutch Courage on an unsuspecting Stantz seals the win for the smaller men whilst Belushi is bamboozled.

 

Winners: Double Dutch via pinfall

Bethany Hurst enters the ring with Leigh Burton and Ricky Storm.

 

Bethany “Seriously. Like – what have you got to do around here to be taken seriously? Leigh and Ricky are the most successful team HIW has ever seen. They’ve won titles and more matches than some people have had hot dinners. And still people like Joey Beauchamp come bowling up demanding matches and things. Newsflash old man: we beat you already!

 

“If we acted that way we’d be told to grow up and behave or some other patronising crap but its ok for people to do it to us.

 

“Well Leigh is going to take you up on the offer Joey. And the part about the type of match? We’ve decided. And it’s going to be…”

 

Leigh “A Mobile Match. A phone will be placed on the announcers trestle table. First person to text their tag partner with ‘I’m giving this loser a beating’ is the winner.”

As some suspected this isn’t reall even close. Everyone knows that Danny is loaded with potentisal but he isn’t there yet.

 

Leigh and Ricky however are very nearly as good as they think they are and show off exceptional timing and communication to focus on theor opponents weaknesses.

 

In particular Russell is quite slight and falls victim when he tries to fight Leigh for power.

 

One lovely Bulldog later and Y.E seal the win.

The UK enters the ring before their match.

 

Dragon ”HIW fans. Some people around here seem to ignore you. People like Sergei Kalashnov think this company is their own private playground. People like British Samurai think they can throw years of loyalty right in your face. People like Dolf Kernen think you can build a career by clinging on to other peoples coat tails.

 

“I’m not one of those people. I know that the fans have put me here and you can take it all away tomorrow. This belt is impressive but my finest achievement is how you feel about me. Honour, hard work and courage. That’s what I believe in and that’s why I’m fighting Victor tonight.

 

"Facing Sergei at Do or Die is going to be a huge match. Especially as I’m sure he’ll be tricksy but Victor is at least an honourable man and I wanted to give you all a match to remember. If this month is my last as champion then I want to face it with my head held high.”

UK Dragon vs. Victor

As promised by our champion this is a great match with two men clearly at the top of their game. If only the Irish fans really knew them well then this would be a classic but as it is the more discerning fans see a titanic struggle as both men go near to securing wins by pinfall as well as submission (Victor being an exponent).

 

Unfortunately the event is a little marred by the gust commentator – Sergei Kalashnov – who spends the whole match denigrating the Dragon unfairly.

 

As the fans know though it takes more than words to get under their hero’s skin and Dragon manfully responds with a deliberate focus on Victor’s knee that leads to a beautiful modified figure-four lock and Victor tapping.

 

Winner: UK Dragon by pinfall

 

C

 

After the match the two men shake hands and the fans are vocal in their support of the Dragon…

 

Until he is slammed hard in the back of the head by a chair. Sergei has entered the ring and assaulted the champ.

 

Dragon of course is tough and leaps back up but Sergei is immediately joined by British Samurai and Dolf Kernen and the brave Dragon is drowned by flailing fists and that chair.

Do or Die

 

http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/945/hiwdoordie.jpg

 

UK Dragon © vs. Sergei Kalashnov for the HIW UK title

 

Sergei has been gunning for a proper shot for a while but Dragon has beaten him before. Will British Samurai and Dolf Kernen be the difference for Kalashnov? Will Dragon find an ally from somewhere?

 

Joey Beauchamp vs. Leigh Burton [Mobile phone match]

 

Joey has had a more impressive singles career but the match was chosen by Leigh. Will either man get time to send a message? Who the hell thinks this stuff up anyway?

 

Sharky George and the Melbourne Blondes (Blake Belushi & Rick Stantz) vs. The Shortcuts (Darren White, Jay B & Francis O’Brien) [Death-Proof rules]

 

Sharky is the biggest name but will be hampered by the Blondes who don’t have a great record. Is it true that the Shortcuts have reinvented themselves as successful?

 

Pitbull Brown vs. Leo Price vs. Stevie Stoat vs. Rolling Johnny Stones

 

Can the Foundation work as a better (unofficial) team here? Will Stones show up for this event after he missed New Beginnings? Will Kathleen act on her impulse to destroy her old bandmates?

 

Petey Barnes vs. British Samurai

 

Can Samurai keep his form going? Why is Petey wrestling without Adam Matravers? How come Samurai looks about 53 when he’s only 30?

 

Bedlam vs. Super Falcon

 

What the hell is up with this anyway? Has Bedlam retained enough strength to beat a Falcon? Is this all some elaborate trap?

 

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg

 

As is now customary the best prediction score will win an item of merchandise of their choice. So far we’ve had t-shirts, posters and a foam hand. All items are welcome*

UK Dragon vs. Sergei Kalashnov for the HIW UK title

I don´t really see Sergei getting the title here.

 

Joey Beauchamp vs. Leigh Burton [Mobile phone match]

Well this is quite an odd match so I give edge to the lunatic (I´m looking at you Burton) who came up with this idea.

 

Sharky George and the Melbourne Blondes vs. The Shortcuts [Death-Proof rules]

Sharky is likely more over than any of The Shortcuts

 

Pitbull Brown vs. Leo Price vs. Stevie Stoat vs. Rolling Johnny Stones

This is pretty much a random pick

British Samurai vs. Petey Barnes

Samurai will get another win here as he is likely going to feud with UK Dragon soon

 

Bedlam vs. Super Falcon for the HIW Velocity title

Bedlam wins (maybe he beats Falcon sensless and then throws him out of the ring to get a count out victory?) but doesn´t get the title.

The Fearsome Bunsen performs his introductory speech from the ring

 

“Sir Edmond Halley once said:

 

‘Scarce any problem will appear more hard and difficult, than that of determining the distance of the Sun from the Earth: but even this... will without much labour be effected’

 

“The great man looked at what he had and what he wanted to achieve and saw a huge task. But an achievable one.

 

“This month in HIW has been like that. Extraordinary goings-on, bizarre activity, strange people. And yet here we are with everyone fighting for what they believe in. Tonight is a chance to stand up and be counted. Do or Die.”

Kathleen Lee enters the ring with The Foundation (Leo Price & Stevie Stoat) before the match and Pitbull brown joins them.

 

There is no sign of Rolling Johnny Stones.

 

Kathleen “What’s this Brown? You made a big deal of not liking to team with Johnny and he hasn’t even showed up? This is why I’m out to end the last pitiful remnants of his sad band.”

 

Pitbull “No difference to me. It may be an all-for-himself match but I know your lapdogs will be working together. But don’t you know who I am? I’m the Pitbull. I’m the man who NEVER gives up. Bring it on.”

As assumed it’s obvious from the start that Leo and Stevie are very much working as a team whilst Pitbull is all alone. With odds like that a match is never going to go well especially against such experienced and canny heads as The Foundation.

 

Pretty soon poor Pitbull is bludgeoned down, bloody but unbroken as his attackers laugh amongst themselves but try as they might they can’t quite pin him as he summons strength to break pinfalls.

 

As technical men Price and Stoat switch to submission attempts but Pitbull lives up to his own legend by taking the pain and not giving in.

In the end Kathleen instructs her team and Leo pins Stevie before all three Foundation members celebrate over the battered but proud body of Pitbull.

 

Winner: Leo Price by pinfall

Bedlam the Welsh electric monster addresses the crowd

 

“ZAP! Can you believe those Falcons! All that crap last week up in Ireland and what did they get? A good kicking. ZAP!

 

“You know there’s one thing that’s really different about me since my little accident. I’ve got a craving for Nandos all the time. That delicious peri-peri chicken is all I can think about. ZAP!

 

“Still – you can’t get it all the time so the next best thing is another type of Portuguese bird. ZAP! Falcon.”

Super Falcon vs. Bedlam for the HIW Velocity title

As you might not have been made aware of the Falcons defend the Velocity belt with the Freebird rule. Dark Falcon is generally accepted to be the tougher one so it’s a surprise when Super Falcon steps up.

 

As expected the Electric Welsh Monster starts out very strongly and looks poised to defeat Super Falcon within just a few minutes but it then becomes clear where Dark Falcon is.

Suspended in the rafters with a large weight on a rope. The more desperate and rough Falcon swings in and absolutely clobbers Bedlam with the weight sending the big fella to the floor seemingly seriously hurt.

 

Dark Falcon and Super Falcon then stare at each other in the ring with some tension before Super Falcon turns his back and leaves without taking the easy pin.

 

Winner: (Technically) Bedlam by countout…

Phoebe Plumridge enters the ring with her client Petey Barnes.

 

“Like – who is British Samurai anyway? Isn’t he, like 50 or something? I asked daddy about him and even he didn’t know who this Samurai was so I thought we could probably take a good scalp.

 

“I haven’t had to fight off someone that old since literally decades ago with Mr Parker in Chemistry at school but I’m sure Petey can cope.”

Petey is full of enthusiasm and energy here bit it’s clear to all that he doesn’t have the experience as a singles competitor that a wily old hand like Samurai does.

 

Indeed Samurai adopts the classic strategy of letting the younger man exhaust himself and then latches on using his Japanese-influenced range of holds and locks when Petey is tired. Barnes is still an impressive guy and he does fight back well but once Samurai attaches his Secret Samurai Stretch Petey is forced to tap out.

 

Winner: British Samurai by submission

As all 6 men assemble for the next match Sharky George and Darren White take the opportunity to do some jawing:

 

Darren

“You Aussie scumbag. You think you decided to ALLOW us a match? The Fearsome Bunsen is still in charge around here not you”

 

Sharky

“Quit your yapping mate. You don’t go into a Death-Proof match half-****ed around here. It’s my belt which means that it’s my decision whether to risk my neck or not”

 

“You’re so DULL. You may have the belt but we want it and those two perma-tanned morons you’re with aren’t going to stop us proving we’re good enough tonight.”

The Shortcuts make no bones about this and enter the match already tooled up with a combination of chains, knuckles and a truncheon. The lay in early and often to the Blondes (who seem taken aback a bit by the ferocity) until the experienced Sharky takes control and brings the fight back to the Shortcuts dominating but unable to finish the job.

 

Unfortunately the Death-proof champ can’t do it alone and the Shortcuts frequent tags mean that an exhausted Sharky is barely able to escape a 2count.

 

Once Rick Stantz comes in again he’s overawed though and Jay B manages to sneak a surprise pin with some interference from his mates.

 

Winner: The Shortcuts (Jay B) by pinfall

Bethany Hurst accompanies Leigh Burton to the ring. Ricky Storm is escorted to a table set up away from the ring where Fred Murray is also waiting and produces his phone.

 

“People have been complaining all week about this match. What? You’ve never seen a mobile phone match before?

 

“Basically we know that Joey is a grumpy old man. He must be all of 27 and therefore doesn’t understand modern technology like we do. Therefore Leigh will be able to waltz this.”

Joey Beauchamp vs. Leigh Burton [Mobile phone match]

The match-phone is suspended above the ring on a rope before this match and a ladder provided. But as soon as the bell rings both men ignore it and go straight after each other.

 

The match moves around fast but both men get enough wind to go for the ladder before Joey hits Leigh with it full in the face and manages to retrieve the phone. As predicted though he isn’t that quick with sending SMS messages and Leigh has enough time to recover and stop the message.

Joey gets another chance after a Leigh head-butt takes him out and this time manages to press send. But no sign from Fred of the message. Joey must have messed it up.

 

That deflates Beauchamp a bit and Leigh manages to get back in the match hitting a picture perfect suplex on to the folded ladder that allows him enough time to key in the message (noticeably faster than Joey) and send it.

 

This time there’s no mistake and Ricky holds up his own phone to signal success.

 

Winner: Leigh Burton via successful text message

UK Dragon addresses the crowd briefly

 

“I’ve made it clear what I think about Sergei. The man’s a cheat. He’s dishonest, conniving and manipulative and I see it as my duty to prevent him gaining any more influence in HIW. Tonight I end his fame. Tonight I end Sergei Kalashnov.”

Sergei comes to the ring flanked by Dolf Kernen and British Samurai to respond:

 

“Boo – hoo – hoo. What terrible man I am. I laugh at your pathetic whining Dragon. Back in Minsk we are brought up to be real men. Not snivelling little girls. Your time is up. British Samurai sees this. The HIW fans see this. Even you see this. You think you are better man? Prove it in ring. Fair fight.”

UK Dragon vs. Sergei Kalashnov for the HIW UK Title

There’s been some serious interest in this match (for HIW that is) and both men seem determined to not let anyone down as they show the speed, athleticism and daring of two athletes at the forefront of modern wrestling.

The Dragon is stalwart and seems confident but Sergei has his own fans and doesn’t seem out of place at all here.

 

The match rages all round and outside the ring well past 20 minutes as both men try to wear each other down and find room for the killer move but the real tipping point doesn’t come from either man.

 

It comes from Sergei’s ally British Samurai when UK Dragon is setting up for a huge leap from the top rope. Samurai hauls on Dragon’s leg causing him to crash down onto the turnbuckle awkwardly but the champ being the champ he springs up gamely and confronts his erstwhile friend Samurai.

 

Which is when Sergei strikes. The Belarusian is subtle, sneaky and an opportunist and takes the moment to hit his Eastern Block on UK Dragon for the upset win.

 

Winner: Sergei Kalashnov via pinfall

Sergei has won the title but takes no time to celebrate as he is joined by British Samurai and Dolf Kernen in kicking the prone UK Dragon mercilessly.

 

Things look bleak for Dragon who has been running out of friends rapidly recently but help comes from an unsuspected quarter…

Firstly - thanls again everyone for following my little game. All criticism, help and pointers are gratefully received.

 

This show was a slightly strange one. Bedlam is getting more entangled with the Falcons. The SHortcuts bizarrely might be credible challengers to Sharky. Poor Joey doesnt know why he lost the Mobile Match, we have a brand new champ and TNG have helped UK Dragon out for some reason...

 

Grades were average but saved somewhat by the main event. We're holding steady in the Midlands but rising fast everywhere else and making cash. Im satisfied but not ecstatis even if I did tweak the product to be slightly more pop-based.

Live from The North

 

Ruud van Anger vs. Francis O'Brien

The Dutch tyro has been looking great and gaining fans but the Shortcuts have started to gain momentum and just beat Sharky George!

 

Axl Grease vs. De Oranje Dieren

Axl makes his HIW debut with a reputation for savagery. Dierenmay be a weird Dutch guy in a mask but he's also amnongst the finest athletes in HIW.

 

Red & Jed vs. The Evil Henchmen

Another debut with the Evil Henchmen booked. Can the twins combine to defeat a man so famous and well-loved he has his own HIW poster?

 

Heavy Metal vs. The Nadir

Not much is known about the Nadir but their opponents certainly sound intimidating. Heavy Metal are not an existing team, theyre both young and English and both big men.

 

Emerald Angel vs. Danny Appleseed vs. Phil Cooper

Angel has a great range of t-shirts but hasnt won many matches. Danny is tealented but raw. Phil Cooper is wrestling for cash for the fitst time ever.

 

 

Ruud van Anger vs. Francis O'Brien
