I can neither confirm or deny your guesses as of yet but, as an interesting sidenote, Cobra and F.R.E.A.K. did actually team together when they both arrived in SNP (before I was recording the dynasty here). They fought a few matches as Team Venom before Cobra was earmarked for a singles push and F.R.E.A.K. teamed up briefly with Lenny Mochin in P.R.I.D.E.

Haha, yeah, that was my thought process. I like the Max D pairing, but not too sure how long it will last.

OOC: Predictions League Quick Picks

1. The Funke Bunch Vs. The Misfits

Funke Bunch could get their win back here, but I'll go with the up and coming team to keep their momentum going.

2. The Creepy Crawlies Vs. The Inferno

I think the Creepy Crawlies need the win more, but COF are more important right now.

3. Red Threat Vs. Wrath of Cain

Hard for me to pick against F.R.E.A.K., but Wrath of Cain is too good of a name.

4. Riddick Jordan © Vs. Alton Vicious (I Quit Match for SNP King of Scotland title)

Wow, something screwy could happen here (finger poke of doom?), but should be a hell of a fight if not.

5. Dwayne Dark © Vs. Cobra (Weapons Match for SNP Hardcore title)

Cobra should put up a good fight, but Lions need to stay strong.

6. Martin Heath © Vs. Bali Daljit (SNP Dragon Lightweight title)

I'm not sure why I always read these as ladder matches, but I think Daljit has enough momentum that he steals this one.

7. Bret Heartbreak Vs. Konrad Makinen Vs. Meathead McAullie Vs. Padraig O'Hearne (SNP King of Scotland Number 1 Contender Match)

Really, really tough. Any one of these would make a great challenger (even Makinen) but I say you pull the trigger on Padraig to continue COF vs Lions while the other three can move on to their own feuds.

8. Alessandro Caesar Vs. Curtis Jenkins

Jenkins need a win on his debut to be relevant.

Bonus Questions:

1. What will be match of the night? (1 point) Jordan vs Vicious

2. Who will provide Liz Sweetheart's first backstage interview? (2 points) I'll say F.R.E.A.K., because why not?

3. Who will join Jackie Goldstein and Karma Kollopy on the announce desk? (3 points) Hugh Echoes (just hoping for it)

To be honest, I don't book months and months in advance. I'm not quite Paul Heyman in ECW either, doing things on the fly as the show is happening but I generally have a decent thrust planned for the top end of the card and just kinda piece things together as they go otherwise. In this case, Max D is legitimately at a crossroads and comes from a Tag Team background anyway (had Maximum Carnage not decamped to 21CW before I'd even booked a show we could have been looking at a very different SNP) and F.R.E.A.K., while entertainment gold and on the hunt for allies for a while now, is genuinely crap in the ring. So it just fits. On a related (if somewhat random) piece of info the '8th team' would have been a pairing of Matthew Macks and Neville Jones. We may yet see them at some point too. Finally, I'm hoping to get the show up by Monday. This weekend is rather a big one for me. My football team, Limerick FC, have a Cup Final later today. So I expect to be rather busy over the next 48 hours or so. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Alessandro Caesar w/Khloe Vs. Curtis Jenkins

The pre-shows kicks off with the in-ring debut of the newest member of The Black Lions Curtis Jenkins taking on the powerful Italian Alessandro Caesar. It’s an even, back and forth sort of contest pitting the strength of Caesar against the technique of CJ. Khloe is a busy presence at ringside, forcing Jenkins to stay alert throughout as Caesar tries to take an advantage anyway he can. The pair look quite even throughout though Caesar’s selling is noticeably poor. At 8’21 CJ transitions through a series of moves that culminates in a Fisherman Suplex, allowing him to pick up the win at 8’21.

‘The F.R.E.A.K. SHOW’ w/ Maximum Destruction

Notorious F.R.E.A.K. conducts an interview with Maximum Destruction. It centres around the formation of their new tag team Red Threat (Max D has strong roots in Tag Team wrestling and is eager to return to this division, especially with the titles currently vacant), Maximum Destruction’s recent feud with Meathead McAullie (McAullie apparently cheated every step of the way and took advantage of Max D’s good nature) and the desertion of Laurel Wreath (this provokes an explosion of primal rage from the interviewee).

SNP Festival of Violence IV

Jackie Goldstein: Welcome to SNP Festival of Violence IV. We are coming to you from The Chaos Arena on what promises to be another explosive night of action. My name is Jackie ‘The Alchemist’ Goldstein and I am joined by Karma Kollopy and a gentleman of impeccable breeding, Jimmi Addams! I welcome you both. Jimmi, how’s the rehab on the leg going?

Jimmi Addams: Well before I even answer your polite question I would just like to thank you both for having me here. It’s a real privilege to be allowed to share my refined perceptions with a larger audience. I am working through the injury Mr.Goldstein, I am approximately halfway through my rehab and once my quad muscle is fully healed I assure you that I have every intention of returning to exactly where I was – on the cusp of greatness and poised to rise up the card. Class will always win out gentlemen, I’ll share that knowledge with you for free.

Karma Kollopy: Well I think I speak for the entire SNP Army when I say that we’re all looking forward to your return Jimmi. Speaking of the SNP Army – tonight, for the first time ever, we have broken through the 1,000 attendance barrier. There are 1,004 paying in attendance tonight to help create another milestone event in SNP history. We have got a hell of a show lined up for them too!

Jackie Goldstein: Absolutely right KK. We have three quarter-final matches in the tournament to crown new Tag Team champions ahead of us. I’m really excited to see who comes out on top there. The semi-finals and final will take place at our next show Fighting Irish but victory tonight is essential for any of teams who want to be involved in the final shake up. The Dragon Lightweight title is also being defended, COF member and current champion Martin Heath going up against a Bali Daljit who has been very impressive in his own right recently.

Jimmi Addams: The Hardcore title is also being defended. Dwayne Dark will be facing the challenge of the last man to face Jimmi Addams… Cobra. Best of luck to them both!

Karma Kollopy: Finally, we have a pair of matches that may have huge repercussions for the King of Scotland title. A fatal four-way number one contenders’ match – Bret Heartbreak, Konrad Makinen, Meathead McAullie and Padraig O’Hearne. Opinion on who is going to come out on top of this one is heavily divided, it’s easy to make a case for any of them but then, by extension, it’s practically impossible to rule any of them out either! Whoever does emerge victorious will have to face the winner of our tantalising Main Event tonight. SNP King of Scotland Riddick Jordan against the man who is like a brother to him, his tag-team partner, Alton Vicious. This match could have consequences, not just for our primary title but also for The Black Lions and the SNP as a whole! I can’t wait!

Jackie Goldstein: Well we’ll have to wait a while but given what’s between then and now I think it will prove an enjoyable interlude! Speaking of which…

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Holly%20Leves_zpsj5ms7ygs.jpg

Holly Leves makes her way to the ring with a sultry strut and a wicked smirk. She slides seductively under the ropes and rolls to her feet. A ringside official hands her a t-shirt gun and the new manager of The Funke Bunch introduces herself to the SNP Army by firing t-shirts into the appreciative crowd in as ravishing a manner as she can manage (and that is quite ravishing)! The crowd are visibly buoyed by this opening to the show.

The Funke Bunch w/Holly Leves Vs. The Misfits w/Khloe

Revenge is on the mind of The Bunch after they were humiliated by their defeat to The Misfits last time out. The stakes are raised even higher with a prize as big as a Semi-Final match in the Tag Team Tournament on offer. Accordingly this one is intense and frantic right from the get go, descending into almost Hardcore levels of brutality. Phil Bridge looks particularly out of place at times. Khloe tries to distract from the ferocity of The Funke Bunch but is yanked bodily from the apron by Holly Leves. Leves is involved again at the finish, catching the foot of The Pulveriser (who looked a little off form but was still comfortably the most accomplished performer in this one) when he’s running the ropes and blowing him a kiss when he turns to remonstrate with her. Distracted, he falls to The Sick Beat and Flash Funke picks up the victory for his team at 6’10.

Match Rating: 33

Jackie Goldstein: Holly Leves proves the leveller in this one and The Funke Bunch move onto the last four of this tournament! With their experience as a team it would be ridiculous to rule them out!

Jimmi Addams: Indeed, young Miss Leves proving her worth in her first appearance with The Funke Bunch.

Karma Kollopy: Absolutely, The Funke Bunch join the pairing of Alton Vicious and Curtis Jenkins, who have asked to be known as Vicious Circle (OOC: Thanks to Mr.Wolf101) in our Semi-finals. The winners of our next match will also be there.

Jackie Goldstein: Red Threat, the newly formed pairing of Maximum Destruction and Notorious F.R.E.A.K. discussed their plans on the pre-show. In Wrath of Cain though, they face a team on the rise who are heavily motivated by the chance of success in this tournament.

Red Threat Vs. Wrath of Cain

SNP’s newest Tag Team take control of this one early on. Cain Carlile can only dodge Maximum’s Destruction’s briefly and is then manhandled by his much larger foe. The onslaught continues unpunished until Max D tags in Notorious F.R.E.A.K. The crowd react well to F.R.E.A.K.’s charisma and star quality but he seems a bit distracted by this, ultimately allowing ‘Captain Crash’ to make it to his corner and tag in Gavin Wrath. Wrath is lethal as ever when he gets in, laying F.R.E.A.K. out in short order and turning his attention to Max D when that man takes it upon himself to interfere. Wrath refuses to back down though and that pair spill outside. Wrath only returns to break the count, tags Cain Carlile back in and promptly returns to his barrage of blows to Maximum Destruction outside the ring. F.R.E.A.K. has made his way back to his feet by now but is captivated by the brawl at ringside. Carlile seizes the chance, rolling F.R.E.A.K. up tightly from behind. Lucy Avatar makes the 3 count at 8’09 and Carlile’s dream of Tag Team gold will continue on for at least three more weeks!

Match Rating: 36

Karma Kollopy: Wrath of Cain march on! They are a pairing that I truly believe can be confident against just about anybody. They are an excellent combination and nobody will want to be drawn against them in the next round.

Jimmi Addams: Quite so Mr.Kollopy, quite so. As a gentleman who knows a thing or two about tag team wrestling myself I feel quite qualified to say that I see those young men as a pair with almost unlimited potential!

Jackie Goldstein: Yeah, yeah, great pair, no doubt about it. Now it’s time for what will doubtless be the highlight of the whole show… it’s been a little while but people are about to be very fortunate indeed. ‘AuDibles’ is back and, once more, only ‘The Alchemist’ Jackie Goldstein is going to get the scoop from The Black Lions.

Jackie Goldstein dashes to the ring and just after he arrives The Black Lions music begins to play. The SNP King of Scotland Riddick Jordan, the SNP Hardcore champion Dwayne Dark, Alton Vicious and newcomer Curtis Jenkins make their way to the ring. They ignore the jeers of this record SNP crowd and form a semi-circle around Goldstein, who is beginning to look nervous. The crowd are hot as Goldstein addresses them and explains that he has three questions to ask them.

Jackie Goldstein: First of all, a lot of people are really keen to know the reasoning behind the brutal beat down of former Black Lions, Black Hole Son and Sharif, and their replacement by Curtis Jenkins?

Dwayne Dark: I’m gonna take this one. This is the SNP Hardcore title and it belongs around my waist. ‘The Dude’ Riddick Jordan is standing there and the SNP King of Scotland title is draped over his shoulder. Riddick and Alton Vicious were SNP Tag Team champions until ‘management’ stripped the titles from them. It’s a temporary change. Alton and Curtis Jenkins WILL win those titles again at Fighting Irish. You may ask what this has to do with the departed and unlamented U.K. Panthers. It’s real simple little man, The Black Lions are about Black excellence and Black pride and Black superiority. Sharif and BHS were given every opportunity to prove they belonged. They failed. Failure is not tolerated within our ranks. End of story. Next question.

Jackie Goldstein: What are your thoughts on the Tag Team titles being vacated? And how do you react to the suggestion by some that giving Vicious Circle an automatic place in the Semi-finals is an unfair advantage?

Curtis Jenkins: Rubbish man, complete rubbish.

Alton Vicious: I never lost the Tag Team titles. They were taken from me because it was felt that Riddick should focus on his sole title. That’s fine. The facts are really simple though. I never lost the title. Every other man in this competition has either lost the title when they had it like The Funke Bunch or Lenny Mochin or else they’ve never been near it. I’m looking at you Cain Carlile! To be blunt, it is blatant discrimination that Vicious Circle haven’t been placed straight into the final but that’s o.k. too. We will win two matches at Fighting Irish and normal service will be resumed. The Black Lions will have ALL the gold that we’re competing for.

Jackie Goldstein: That brings me nicely to my final question. Tonight, in our Main Event, for the SNP King of Scotland title, Riddick Jordan defends against Alton Vicious. I have to ask, how can this not sow discord amongst The Black Lions?

Riddick Jordan: Don’t you worry about The Lions Goldstein. I am The King of Scotland. I don’t sweat on that fact, I roll with it. I am a fighting champion and I will fight the best opponents I can every single time I defend my title. The Black Lions are superior. It’s not rocket science to realise that for me to take on the best opponent out there we have to keep this in-house. I am going to fight my brother Alton Vicious because he is better than any of the alternatives. We will fight and regardless of the result, all the important things will stay the same. The King of Scotland will still be one of The Black Lions. The future will still be Black and there is nothing that anybody in the whole of SNP can do about it!

Angle Rating: 44

Karma Kollopy: Illuminating as ever from The Black Lions. Clearly they will not be swayed from their chosen path and I will concede, it is very, very difficult to argue with the fact that those guys are still the top dogs here in SNP.

Jimmi Addams: Indeed. Ruffians to a man of course but they’re certainly very effective.

Karma Kollopy: Next up we have our Dragon Lightweight title match. Champion and Circle of Fire member Martin Heath will be defending against Bali Daljit. Daljit has been particularly outspoken about being overlooked for COF membership which he views as an absolute travesty.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Martin%20Heath_zpsnwdz7ild.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Bali%20Daljit_zpshopo5fxt.jpg

Martin Heath © Vs. Bali Daljit (Dragon Lightweight title match)

Daljit goes on the attack from the very outset here, clearly highly motivated by the prize on offer. He shows a passion that many suspected he lacked, keeping Heath grounded with stiff kicks and uppercuts. He makes repeated cover attempts but Heath continues to stay alive and kick out. Heath dodges a flying knee attempt and then drops Daljit with a neckbreaker. Heath’s comeback is cut short however when Daljit, backed into the corner, hits him hard in the face with multiple elbows. Daljit springs to the middle buckle and retakes control with a flying fist drop. Daljit continues to work Heath over and clotheslines his foe to the floor. Daljit’s next move is breath-taking as he somersaults over the top rope and smashes into Heath. Both men are down and Lucy Avatar starts to count. Daljit stirs at 7 and manages to drag himself back into the ring at 9 but Heath is out cold. Bali Daljit is announced as the winner by count out at 8’18. Daljit does celebrate the victory but he’s clearly livid that Martin Heath has kept hold of the title.

Match Rating: 40

Jackie Goldstein: Bali Daljit is conflicted. His run of victories continues but to have to walk out of here without the Dragon Lightweight belt around his waist will absolutely gall him!

Karma Kollopy: Understandably so! What tonight has done for him though is give a whole lot of weight to his theory that the COF have missed a trick by not recruiting him to their cause! Daljit is not going to let it drop either, you can count on that!

Jimmi Addams: I’ll say this for Bali Daljit, he is fond of his own voice but if you can back it up, it’s hard not to listen and pay attention.

Jackie Goldstein: There’s more at stake than just the Dragon Lightweight title between those two. Speaking of titles, the next match tonight is the final Quarter-final match in our Tag Team Tournament. The Funke Bunch, Vicious Circle and Wrath of Cain will be joined by the winners of this match between The Creepy Crawlies and The Inferno.

The Creepy Crawlies w/ Mark Carnie Vs. The Inferno

All four men give in decent performances here in an even, competitive bout between two pairings who are keen to push on and make their mark. It goes back and forth with all of the combatants scoring near falls as the intensity is cranked up. Kirchner’s high flying offence falls prey to the bruising brawling of Colin Picalo who in turn is controlled by Lenny Mochin’s precise, technical holds. Augustus Bumblescoop blindsides Mochin and scores the nearest of near falls. Kirchner returns the favour and in the aftermath of a four man scrap The Inferno hit Friendly Fire on Picalo. Kirchner picks up the win for his team at 9’29,

Match Rating: 44

Jackie Goldstein: And now we have four Semi-finalists who will collide in three weeks at Fighting Irish! Who is going to be the favourites? For this journalist, it will take a brave man to look past Vicious Circle.

Jimmi Addams: Personally I’d be placing my wager upon The Inferno. Rohan Kirchner is an old stable mate of mine, I know what he can do and both guys in that team have plenty of experience in Tag Teams.

Karma Kollopy: I’m leaning towards Wrath of Cain. It’s been a hell of a journey for Cain Carlile but I really do think that he might just be ready to make his dreams come true!

Jackie Goldstein: The Tag Team titles will not be won until next time out though. Next match tonight and the Hardcore title will be on the line. Dwayne Dark defends against another man that Jimmi Addams knows all too well, Cobra!

Jimmi Addams: Cobra…

Karma Kollopy: Cobra was the man that was fighting Jimmi when he tore his quad muscle. It’s gotta be hard for you to watch this Jimmi, the man who has cost you six months of your career challenging for titles.

Jimmi Addams: Not as hard as you might think Mr.Kollopy.

Dwayne Dark © Vs. Cobra (Weapons Match for SNP Hardcore Title)

Dwayne Dark uses his strength to control this one early on, with both men going all out, but makes the cardinal mistake of breaking away from his brawling to search through the weapons bins scattered around the ring. By the time he makes his way back in, chair in one hand, kendo stick in the other, Cobra has his snake, Avarice, out and brandished as a weapon. Dark is taken by surprise, dropped his weapons and slips to his backside. Cobra needs no second invitation, switching out the snake for the steel chair. He proceeds to bludgeon the champion, crashing a series of heavy blows to Dwayne Dark’s ribs. It appears to be simply a matter of time before Cobra wins this one and, it has to be said, he’s given a wonderful performance, far beyond what could have been expected.

Then a figure vaults the barrier from the crowd and jumps up on the apron. The man looks a lot like Jimmi Addams but he’s still sitting at the announce desk. Cobra looks from one to the other uncertainly. Dwayne Dark, seeing his opportunity, hauls Cobra down from behind. With the aid of a handful of Cobra’s tights, Dark retains the Hardcore title with a pinfall at 5’12.

Match Rating: 56 (which was a very pleasant surprise)

With the match over Cobra turns his attention back to Dwayne Dark who rolls out of the ring in a hurry. The mystery man at ringside take advantage of the confusion, quickly darting between the ropes, scooping up the kendo stick and absolutely hammering Cobra with it. Blood is running down Cobra’s back before his attacker ends his assault. The man gives a grandiose bow in the direction of the announce desk before he disappears back into the crowd who don’t seem to know what to make of it all.

Jackie Goldstein: I just want to say, Jimmi, that guy looks a LOT like you.

Jimmi Addams: Do you really think so Mr.Goldstein? I suppose there’s some faint resemblance.

Karma Kollopy: Cut the crap Addams, I recognise him. That’s your twin brother Kalvin, what the hell is he doing here?

Jimmi Addams: Oh I don’t know Mr.Kollopy… perhaps he wanted to make a point to the man who put me on the shelf for 6 months? Family is important. I’m sure Kalvin will be more than happy to explain himself in person anyway.

Jackie Goldstein: Sorry to interrupt guys, I’m sure we’ll talk more about this again, for now though I’ve just been told that Liz Sweetheart is backstage with Hugh Echoes, the recently deposed King of Scotland.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Liz%20Sweetheart_zpsd7cmjonp.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Hugh%20de%20Aske_zpsg8cy82yu.jpg

Liz Sweetheart is backstage talking to a distracted looking Hugh Echoes. It's strange seeing Echoes without the King of Scotland title belt around his waist.

Liz Sweetheart: Hugh, how are you dealing with the loss of your King of Scotland title? It seems strange to a lot of observers, including this interviewer, that you're not booked to compete on tonight's show. What's the situation?

Hugh Echoes: Lady Sweetheart... I did not anticipate the events of my last match with Riddick Jordan. Hugh Echoes is many things. I am a thinker and because I am a thinker it makes sense for me to take a step back to examine what has happened before I return matters to where they once were and where they will be again. I am patient and I will not be rushed, I will strike back and take back what it mine at a time of my choosing, at the opportune moment and the most appropriate battlefield. You ask about the situation? The situation is that Hugh Echoes is still the true King of Scotland and no barbarian usurper can keep my throne. The King will rise again. The King's Court will sweep SNP clean of the invading rabble and all will be as it should be and as I, Hugh Echoes, intend it to be!

Liz Sweetheart: What are your thoughts on tonight's remaining matches? The four man Number One Contender's match and the clash between Riddick Jordan and Alton Vicious for the King of Scotland title?

Hugh Echoes: Oh Lady Sweetheart, it's all so very inconsequential in terms of the bigger picture... but if you want answers to these inane musings of the masses, well the true King of Scotland is benign and kindly to his subjects and I can spare a few words. The title match is nothing more than a vanity project between these so called Lions. They are tearing at a carcass that does not belong to them. When the moment is right they will be taught the error of their ways and swept aside like the scavengers they are. They talk about the power of black but they know nothing of the darkness!

The other match is of considerably more internest. There is talent in that quartet, there is drive and there is passion and there is belief. I know Bret Heartbreak and Meathead McAullie very well, I know their souls, I know what makes them strive to be better with every match they have. I have watched Padraig O'Hearne rising from the ashes of his past as he aims to touch the sun without getting burned. And then there's Konrad Makinen - The Prodigy, the Mercenary, a man whose every move is infused with the intelligence to know that he has limits and also with the confidence that comes from knowing that he has not yet come close to reaching them. I am the true King of Scotland. I know all of my subjects and they shall know me again.

Echoes, without a word of goodbye, walks away and leaves Liz Sweetheart there by herself. Echoes has been at his cryptic best here, Sweetheart a little nervous in her first appearance as a full member of the roster.

Bret Heartbreak Vs. Konrad Makinen w/ Mark Carnie Vs. Meathead McAullie w/Laurel Wreath Vs. Padraig O’Hearne (Number One Contender’s Match for SNP King of Scotland title)

Goldstein and Kollopy are in fine form here, their excitement for this bout translating over to the already hot crowd. O’Hearne is the first to score a near fall, rolling Bret Heartbreak up for a 2 count that Makinen interrupts. The Swede is almost pinned himself soon after, falling victim to a huge Meathead McAullie clothesline that sees his head crack back off the canvas. McAullie, accompanied to ringside by Laurel Wreath for the first time, seems strangely diminished by his manager. He is sent to the floor after Makinen and O’Hearne hit him with a potent double dropkick. Any suspicion that an alliance is going to be formed between these two is dashed when Makinen hits the Irishman with a Spike DDT. Makinen then attempts to take out Heartbreak with his Stockholm Syndrome superkick but the youngster ducks and retaliates by kneeing his attacker hard in the ribs and attempting a cover. Makinen kicks out emphatically though and the competition continues. Meathead McAullie attempts to get back into the ring only to be dumped back on the floor after a Padraig O’Hearne running forearm. The match continues at pace. Even Laurel Wreath and Mark Carnie square up to each other outside the ring. Meathead McAullie gets between them and shoves Carnie hard. O’Hearne mounts the top turnbuckle and vaults into the midst of those out on the floor. Bret Heartbreak can hardly tear his gaze away. That second of distraction, that lack of experience, is all it takes. For the second time in the match Konrad Makinen attempts to take out Bret Heartbreak with Stockholm Syndrome. This time he connects and with McAullie, O’Hearne and both managers all still down and out at ringside it’s a simple matter for the mercurial Makinen to pick up the win and the number one contendership at 12’23.

Match Rating: 51

Jackie Goldstein: Watch the euphoria of Mark Carnie! See how much this victory means to him!

Karma Kollopy: Konrad Makinen will take part in our main event at Fighting Irish! I will say this now, with the form he’s in, he could very well be the next King of Scotland!

Jimmi Addams: Of course the last King of Scotland had plenty to say about that too before the last match. Hugh Echoes is adamant that he is still the one true King of Scotland.

Jackie Goldstein: He may well believe that but the belt belongs to Riddick Jordan right now. For another few minutes at least!

Karma Kollopy: Well before we get to tonight’s main event we’re going to hear from somebody else with a vested interest in that title – Alton Vicious!

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Alton%20Vicious_zpshhz1lbr8.jpg

Alton Vicious is in his dressing room taping his wrists ahead of his King of Scotland title match against Riddick Jordan. He sees the camera and turns to face it with a smirk spreading across his face.

Alton Vicious: So it comes to this? The two most talented fighters in SNP going one on one for the biggest prize that the company has to offer. You people have no clue how lucky you are to witness this. It's like Ali and Frazier, Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson, Jordan and Shaq all rolled into one. Years from now, you will be telling your grandchildren about the day that you watched 'The Bad Man' Alton Vicious and 'The Dude' Riddick Jordan collided like two planets for the SNP King of Scotland title.

The Black Lions are SNP and now, after tonight, nobody can deny it. We are Gods amongst mortals. Riddick and I go back a long, long way. He is a brother. We are fighters, we are warriors, we are harmony in violence. I get that most of you wish there was some way we could both lose but you are deluding yourselves. Tonight, the only winners are The Black Lions. Whoever wins, we win and Hugh Echoes loses, Circle of Fire lose, Konrad Makinen loses. The Black Lions will continue to roar and the future will still. Be. Black.

Vicious start to leave, stops and adds one final thought

Alton Vicious: My money is on 'The Bad Man' though.

Riddick Jordan © Vs. Alton Vicious (I Quit Match for SNP King of Scotland title)

The Northern Lights fist bump as Lucy Avatar explains the rules. The second the bell rings however they lunge for each other and battle is joined. Jordan and Vicious have a long partnership and seem as close a pairing as any in the SNP. In the here and now though, they are bludgeoning each other with a frightening ferocity and brutality. Within minutes both men are bleeding but unbowed. The first submission attempt comes when Vicious locks in a Full Nelson but Jordan gets to the ropes and Vicious breaks the hold. Jordan puts an Abdominal Stretch on but Jordan turns it into a hiptoss. The tie goes back and forth with neither guy giving an inch. Jordan looks to have a real shot at victory with a crossface but Vicious rakes his eyes. There’s a moment of tension as Jordan seems decidedly unimpressed by Vicious’ tactics but eventually the defending champion shrugs and the action starts again. The grappling continues and when both men fall together, Jordan takes advantage of this to lock in a Muta Lock in the middle of the ring. Vicious tries to wrench free from the hold but Jordan only syncs it in tighter. Vicious tries again to escape but with no way out he has no choice but to tap out after 11’18 at the end of an absolutely gripping match.

Match Rating: 63

Karma Kollopy: That was an absolute monster of a match! One of the very best we have ever seen here in SNP. Riddick Jordan has retained the SNP King of Scotland title and he will face Konrad Makinen at Fighting Irish.

Jimmi Addams: That pair haven’t the cultural nous of a pair of drunken weasels but they are tough as hell. Alton Vicious may have been defeated tonight but he played his part in making this a match that people will be talking about for a long, long time to come!

Jackie Goldstein: The real question for me now though is whether or not this will impact upon the solidarity of The Black Lions. They’ve been a closely knit bunch since their formation but there is a real sense that things are changing throughout the SNP. Only time will tell how The Black Lions will be impacted upon. It has been a phenomenal night for us here. A RECORD crowd have witnessed a great show and it is all leading to Dublin in three weeks and Fighting Irish. Thank you, as always, for your support. I’m Jackie Goldstein and on behalf of everybody in SNP, I wish you all the best and I look forward to seeing you again.

In the aftermath of the show Riddick Jordan and Alton Vicious are left in the ring. Jordan holds his title over his head. Vicious slowly makes his way back to his feet before getting right up in Jordan’s face. The pair are eye to eye and glowering at each other as anticipation builds in the audience. Out of nowhere the pair grin widely, shake hands, hug each other and jeer at the audience as they make their way backstage.

Great show as always! I was really surprised that Makinen picked up the win in the #1 contender's match, but it will be interesting to see him and Jordan face off. Happy to see the main event pop a good rating too as Jordan and Vicious seem to be your biggest cross-over stars from the limited research I've done. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I'm curious to how the tag team tournament will play out, because I can see three of the four remaining teams have a legitimate chance of winning.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Riddick%20Jordan_zps0ttcjipk.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Konrad%20Maumlkinen_zpswvm8melp.jpg w/http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Mark%20Carnie_zpst3cqf4as.jpg

Riddick Jordan Vs. Konrad Makinen w/Mark Carnie (SNP King of Scotland title match)</div>

Both these men will enter this match with plenty of confidence off the back of impressive victories at Festival of Violence IV. Jordan’s triumph over his closest ally Alton Vicious to retain his King of Scotland title was a superb match and further evidence of his growing stature. For Konrad Makinen the scenario is somewhat different. The Swede is still unbeaten in singles action since his arrival in SNP and he will view this match as an opportunity to fulfil his destiny. To emerge victorious from a bout featuring Bret Heartbreak, Meathead McAullie and Padraig O’Hearne is a testimony to anyone’s ability. He only has to beat one man next time out and if he can pull it off Mark Carnie will be delirious with delight.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Alton%20Vicious_zpshhz1lbr8.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Curtis%20Jenkins_zpssudjylu4.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Cain%20Carlile_zpstglx0whk.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Gavin%20Owen_zpsfpxhfd6l.jpg</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Vicious Circle Vs. Wrath of Cain (Tag Team Title Tournament Semi-Final Match)</div>

Two teams with extremely different backgrounds will collide in this match but the motivation for both pairings will be the same – to come out on top here and advance to the final. Alton Vicious is still sore about having to give up the Tag Team titles in the first place. As far as he’s concerned the belt is still his and this is just another step towards getting it back. For Curtis Jenkins it’s a huge opportunity to quickly establish himself as a legitimate threat here in SNP. Cain Carlile has been vocal and very open about his desire to conquer the Tag Team division after coming close with both Maxwell Bleak and Martin Heath. There is a growing feeling that his new partner, Gavin Wrath, is his best yet and, if that is proven to be the case, Wrath of Cain could be on their way to true greatness.

<div style="text-align:center;">The Funke Bunch w/Holly Leves Vs. The Inferno (Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match)</div>

The Bunch will feel that some pride was restored with their victory over The Misfits in their Quarter-Final bout. Having come through that the most decorated Tag Team in SNP will be setting their sights on overall victory here as they chase the goal of becoming five time Tag Team champions (twice in 21CW and twice in SNP to date). In the opposite corner The Inferno will be equally anxious to come out on top as they attempt to continue spreading the COF message. Lenny Mochin is a former SNP Tag Team champion in his own right and Rohan Kirchner has an extensive background in Tag Team wrestling himself.

Questioning Kollopy

1. How satisfied were you with Festival of Violence IV?

I honestly feel like it will go down as a landmark show for us. There was a real tangible sense of progression on a number of levels. We broke though the 1,000 attendance target for the first time. The good people at TEW.com are officially rating it as our best show ever. You don’t want to get too carried away with that sort of thing but that is great to hear. They’ve also put two matches from the show into our all-time top 5. The Northern Lights going head-to-head for the SNP King of Scotland title has been placed second and Dwayne Dark against Cobra for the SNP Hardcore title has, to the surprise of pretty much everybody been ranked the fifth best match SNP has ever had. Yeah, it was a genuinely huge success, no doubt about it.

2. What’s the story with Kalvin Addams arrival? Can we expect to see The Addams Family teaming up once Jimmi is fit again?

Look, there’s nothing set in stone and we’ll just have to see what happens going forward. All that being said, it would be reasonable to think that we’ll want to use the experience of The Addams brothers as well as we possibly can. They’ve been a hugely successful Tag Team in EWA and they both also have the ability to bulk out our Hardcore division. Right now I would imagine that they feel that Cobra has questions to answer. They’re talented guys and talented guys give you options.

3. How is morale backstage right now? With things seeming to be going well in the ring is that translating over to the roster?

Yeah I would say that morale is higher now than it’s ever been. It wasn’t great when I arrived to be honest. So we’ve had to address that. There was no discipline as such when I got here, it was pretty much ‘anything goes’ so we’ve instilled some basic rules in terms of what is and isn’t acceptable while trying to keep things fairly laid-back and chilled out too. As well as that I inherited a roster with some guys who, and I don’t want to name names, were difficult to deal with and who didn’t buy into the progressive mindset that I want in our locker room. So it’s been a case of weeding some of them out and being careful about who we bring in as well. It’s improved drastically even in the last few months and I feel like our momentum is positive in that regard too.

4. There have been whispers of a Developmental company in the works for SNP?

No. We had a conversation and it would be poor strategy for us right now. We’re nowhere near needing that. It was something we looked at and discussed and the cons far outweighed the pros for us at this stage. That’s not to say that it won’t be revisited at some point but I don’t think it will be anytime soon. We’ve learned from the training facility misstep.

5. There was some criticism of Liz Sweetheart's performance at the last show, will there be any actions taken because of that?

Ah give over! Liz Sweetheart was making her first full appearance with a name promotion. I would imagine there were some nerves. I thought the segment got over really well and I have real belief that Liz is gonna be a big success here. It will take time for her to hit her stride but we expect that and we're happy that she will develop and improve while she's here. Just like everybody else!

I'm curious to how the tag team tournament will play out, because I can see three of the four remaining teams have a legitimate chance of winning.

Glad you enjoyed the show. It was a pleasant one for SNP on a few levels in terms of numbers so I'm glad it translated well to the overall story here.

I'm a little surprised that Makinen surprised you as much as he seemed to. He's been unbeaten in singles action since I signed him and he cut a decent promo when given the opportunity to as well. For me he's been the guy to give Carnie's Angels the boost they needed to get up from the midcard.

I was really pleased that The Northern Lights head-to-head went as well as it did. I expected a good rating but it exceeded expectations. Dwayne Dark-Cobra was the real success story of the night for me though. It went 10-14 points higher than I would have expected, particularly when you consider that Cobra got the 'not suited to hardcore' match note too.

Fighting Irish is one of our two 'season finale' shows in SNP's calendar year and I'm excited by what I have lined up for the next season. Interesting times ahead in the next year or so for us.

Martin Heath © Vs. Bali Daljit (Ladder Match for SNP Dragon Lightweight Title)</div>

A rematch from Festival of Violence – Daljit has been in impressive form of late and actually won their last encounter via count out. Daljit is still furious that he hasn’t been invited to join Circle of Fire and views this as his opportunity to embarrass one of the charter members. Heath, for his part, is fiercely proud of his title and will want to win for both COF and his teenager admirers, ‘The Heathons’! The ladder match has long been associated with this division and the purists amongst the SNP Army will be pleased to see this one on the card.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Matthew%20Macks_zpstnycjywu.jpg w/http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Kitty%20Katz_zpsbcbejke8.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Padraig%20OHearne_zpsj1a9kjrs.jpg</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Matthew Macks w/ Kitty Katz Vs. Padraig O’Hearne</div>

Following on from the clash of The Northern Lights at our last show, and with one eye on the Fighting Irish title of this one, we’re going to see two more erstwhile allies going head to head. As Na Fianna, Macks and O’Hearne were twice SNP Tag Team Champions. Now, O’Hearne heads up the ascendant COF while Macks is still managed by O’Hearne’s wife Kitty Katz. It was, by all accounts, an amicable parting of ways for these two but, particularly on home soil, stakes will be high and neither man will want to lose this one.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Bret%20Heartbreak_zps3aqc6jjw.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Meathead%20McAullie_zpsrxkjdtij.jpg w/http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Laurel%20Wreath_zps50vhpjqk.jpg</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Bret Heartbreak Vs. Meathead McAullie w/Laurel Wreath</div>

While these two were never a solid pairing like Na Fianna, they did find themselves on the same side on a number of occasions. At Fighting Irish however, this will be in opposite corners as they both try to pick up a big win and continue their forward momentum. Both men have shown that they have plenty of ability and neither one will back down from a scrap so expectations are high here.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Dwayne%20Dark_zps0k4rpijc.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Colin%20Picalo_zpsw29aqjfx.jpg w/http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Mark%20Carnie_zpst3cqf4as.jpg

Dwayne Dark © Vs. Colin Picalo w/Mark Carnie (Weapons Match for SNP Hardcore Title)</div>

Dark and Picalo have been here plenty of times before. They’re both capable fighters who are comfortable in the Hardcore arena and don’t have the word ‘quit’ in their vocabulary. The Black Lion has been Hardcore champion now for 5 months and, between them, these two have dominated this division for a full year now. Expect another bloody, brutal clash where even the winner will come out feeling the cost of victory!

MrWolf101 · September 27, 2016

Glad you enjoyed the show. It was a pleasant one for SNP on a few levels in terms of numbers so I'm glad it translated well to the overall story here.

I'm a little surprised that Makinen surprised you as much as he seemed to. He's been unbeaten in singles action since I signed him and he cut a decent promo when given the opportunity to as well. For me he's been the guy to give Carnie's Angels the boost they needed to get up from the midcard.

I was really pleased that The Northern Lights head-to-head went as well as it did. I expected a good rating but it exceeded expectations. Dwayne Dark-Cobra was the real success story of the night for me though. It went 10-14 points higher than I would have expected, particularly when you consider that Cobra got the 'not suited to hardcore' match note too.

Fighting Irish is one of our two 'season finale' shows in SNP's calendar year and I'm excited by what I have lined up for the next season. Interesting times ahead in the next year or so for us.

Cobra popping a good rating was definitely cool. I see him get used as mainly an enhancement talent on most diaries, so I always wondered if he could be more than that.

I guess the Makinen win just surprised me because I didn't expect the streak to be in jeopardy yet, but it makes sense to do a title vs streak match as this is one of the big shows. It should be a hell of a fight either way.

1) Riddick Jordan © Vs. Konrad Makinen (SNP King of Scotland Title)

Ooph. Really tough. I think this could end in a DQ to protect Konrad's streak, but sometimes the unstoppable force needs to be humbled before taking the next step.

2) Vicious Circle Vs. Wrath of Cain (SNP Tag Team Title Tournament Semi-Final)

As much as I like Wrath of Cain, I think you go with the money match in Vicious Circle vs Inferno.

3) The Funke Bunch Vs. The Inferno (SNP Tag Team Title Tournament Semi-Final)

Hard for me to see Inferno not making the Finals.

4) SNP Tag Team Title Tournament Final (Name the Winners) Inferno

I wouldn't be surprised by Vicious Circle or Wrath of Cain winning, but Inferno taking it seems to be a good way to keep the Lions vs COF feud going.

5) Martin Heath © Vs. Bali Daljit (Ladder Match for SNP Dragon Lightweight Title)

Daljit keeps rising to the occasion, and in a ladder match, I think you pull the trigger.

6) Matthew Macks Vs. Padraig O’Hearne

7) Bret Heartbreak Vs. Meathead McAullie

Bret still seems to have more of the upside here, but I could see Hugh Echoes interfering to cost either man the match.

8) Dwayne Dark © Vs. Colin Picalo (Weapons Match for SNP Hardcore Title)

9) 10 man Battle Royal (Name the Winner) Cobra

I'll get on the Cobra bandwagon.

Who will be the mystery competitor in the Battle Royal (5 points, will be shocked if anybody gets it)? Want to say Merle O'Curle, but then I'd have to pick him to win, so I'll go The Dublin Destroyer. (Would be kind of awesome if it is a female wrestler)

What will be match of the night? (2 points) Heartbreak vs McAullie, just to go out on a limb

Tiebreaker: What will the crowd be? NB: The show is in Ireland, not Scotland

115

Saw that Limerick lost the cup match, so hopefully Fighting Irish will lift your spirits.

The graphics are awesome too. Great work smw88!

Meathead McAullie and Laurel Wreath are engrossed in serious conversation backstage. It transpires that Meathead has decided against being Laurel Wreath’s managerial client. He just doesn’t feel that it is a good fit and while he appreciates that she helped him out with Maximum Destruction, “it’s time for Meathead to be Meathead again”, and he has his own path to beat. He thanks her again and wishes her all the best. Laurel Wreath looks a bit taken aback but says that she wishes him the best too. There’s an awkward moment where they both stand there, unsure what else there is to say. McAullie offers his hand, Wreath rolls her eyes at this and gives him a hug instead. He leaves, clearly a little embarrassed, leaving Wreath standing there with an unreadable expression on her face.

10 Man Battle Royal - Irish Pub Crawl Brawl

Alessandro Caesar, Augustus Bumblescoop, Cobra, Kalvin Addams, Liam Lutz, Maximum Destruction, Neville Jones, Notorious F.R.E.A.K., Phil Bridge and The Pulveriser.

This Battle Royal is the first in-ring action of the show. Cobra and Kalvin Addams tear into each other from the outset and Lucy Avatar calls for the bell as getting things started seems far easier now than attempting to calm the violence. The Pulveriser, clearly looking to make a name for himself, rushes straight at Maximum Destruction. The big veteran is initially forced back by the sheer momentum of his foe’s charge but he brings his own considerable power to bear to turn the situation to his advantage, shifting his weight and adding his bulk to throw The Pulveriser over the top rope to the floor. On the far side of the ring Max D’s partner in Red Threat is not having such success. The newcomer Liam Lutz, signed on a short-term contract and with plenty to prove, has unloaded a barrage of stiff blows to Notorious F.R.E.A.K. and when the Freaky one backs away to the ropes, Lutz promptly clothelines him over and eliminates him. It’s barely started here and already we’re down to eight.

Things begin to settle then. Cobra and Addams continue to bludgeon each other while Liam Lutz and Phil Bridge are trading blows as well. Maximum Destruction has turned his ire to Neville Jones and attempts to toss him out before interrupting the Lutz/Bridge exchange with a double clothesline. Jones has somehow managed to grab the rope on the way over and ‘The Prince of Wales’ stays in it by skinning the cat and coming back into the ring. The remaining pair are Augustus Bumblescoop and Alessandro Caesar.

Bumblescoop is taking some punishment from the Italian’s clubbing forearms and brutal elbows but he creates some separation by jabbing a thumb into Caesar’s eye. As Caesar reels AB slaps him hard in the face and, after taking in the situation, quickly times to the top turnbuckle. Perhaps he has an axe handle or flying fist drop in mind but before that he turns to face the crowd, “The higher I fly,” he proclaims… Caesar shoves him from behind to the floor and eliminates him before bellowing in response, “THE HARDER YOU FALL!”

Kalvin Addams and Cobra are grappling on the floor now, still embroiled in a deeply personal struggle and giving no attention to the match at large. Lutz and Bridge have put their own animosity to one side and are trying to control Max D with nobody gaining a clear advantage. Caesar turns his attention to Neville Jones. Battle is joined on all fronts now. Lutz and Bridge manage to back Destruction into the corner and are trying to lever him out. Caesar shoots Jones off the ropes and gets into places for a back body drop. The two-time former Dragon Lightweight champion instead leapfrogs his foe and from there carries on across the ring, transitioning effortlessly into a smooth dropkick out of absolutely nowhere that Liam Lutz doesn’t even see coming until it sends him sailing over the top rope and out of this match. Phil Bridge can only gape in shock at this turn of events and that moment of distraction is all that Maximum Destruction needs to choke slam the unfortunate Bridge to the floor and leave us with just five left in this match.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Alessandro%20Giordano_zpsveieixus.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Cobra_zpskrzxuezi.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Kalvin%20Addams_zpsyibjyrww.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Maximum%20Destruction_zpsrewe7aif.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Neville%20Jones_zpscprg3ctu.jpg

The pace slows again momentarily now. Addams and Cobra are back on their feet and clearly their frenzied assault has left a mark on both of them as they trade laborious right hands. Max D connects with Caesar’s jaw with a huge uppercut that lifts the big Italian half way over but he manages to rebalance himself and stay in it. Neville Jones joins the fray, rocking Destruction with an enziguri before sending him back against the ropes when he follows up with a Pele kick. Seeing his face painted foe looking vulnerable, Jones bounces off the opposite ropes and sets up for another dropkick like the one that took Liam Lutz out of the equation. Maximum Destruction has been around though and he has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. He springs forward to meet Jones just before he can take flight and tosses him bodily over the top rope with room to spare. Jones lands painfully outside and we’re down to a final four of Kalvin Addams, Cobra, Maximum Destruction and Alessandro Caesar. Caesar’s attempt to break up the Addams/Cobra clash sees both men pause from attacking each other just long enough to drill Caesar hard in the face once before turning their attention to each other once more.

Maximum Destruction’s interruption proves more effective. He whips both Addams and Cobra to opposite corners and splashes them both in turn. He howls to the heavens as the fury rises within him only to have his bloodlust quashed when Caesar dives into his knee from behind. Caesar follows this up by straddling Max D and pounding his upper body with all his strength. Cobra and Kalvin Addams join battle again in the middle of the ring but quickly find themselves at the ropes together, jostling fiercely as they each attempt to lever the other over and out. Caesar abandons Max D when he senses the opportunity to make a power move. He darts across and tips over both men. Cobra and Kalvin Addams are both eliminated but they don’t seem particularly perturbed by this as they continue to brawl at ringside and then all of the way to the back.

Caesar returns to Max D with a vengeance, stomping on his prone opponent and trying to retain absolute control. He drags Destruction back to his feet, throws him off the ropes and almost beheads him with a savage clothesline. He goes for the same move again but this time Max D ducks underneath and comes back with a huge flying shoulder block of his own. Both men are back on their feet as one and lurching towards each other again but Destruction gets a foot up into the midsection of Caesar and when the Italian doubles over he drives him to the mat with a venomous looking, clubbing blow. As Caesar is stumbling back to his feet he takes a big running knee to the face. Destruction hauls him back to his feet and goes to toss him over the top rope. Caesar just about manages to catch himself and hauls himself upright on the apron. It proves a futile respite. Another big boot, to the face this time, sends Caesar crumpling to the floor. Maximum Destruction has won the Irish Pub Crawl Brawl 10 Man Battle Royal.

Match Rating: 39 – Winner as last man in the ring: Maximum Destruction

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Alessandro%20Giordano_zpsveieixus.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Kitty%20Katz_zpsbcbejke8.jpg

The camera picks up the runner-up backstage. Alessandro Caesar is limping slightly and clearly frustrated at coming so close but still coming up short. Kitty Katz is back there, holding her t-shirt gun and waiting for the show proper to begin. She commiserates with Caesar, complimenting him on a great performance and saying that it will have shown a lot of people how good he can really be… if only he had the right guidance and support. Caesar is standing up a little straighter now and listening intently. Katz outlines the success enjoyed by Matthew Macks under her watch as both Tag Team and Dragon Lightweight champion and tells Caesar that she’s always on the lookout for new talent. Caesar nods at this. Katz gives a lovely smile and tells him to think about it, to call her and to enjoy her shooting t-shirts. Her music starts to play and Caesar wishes her luck.

Your announce team for tonight’s show: ‘The Alchemist’ Jackie Goldstein, Karma Kollopy and Jimmi Addams

Fighting Irish 2018

Jackie Goldstein: Welcome to SNP Fighting Irish. We have got another huge night of action ahead of us here tonight. Our main event is going to blow the roof off this arena – King of Scotland Riddick Jordan will be defending against a man who is still unbeaten here in singles competition, ‘The Prodigy’ Konrad Makinen. As well as this there is an absolutely gorgeous card from top to bottom. We will see new Tag Team champions crowned. There are four teams left in with a shout, Wrath of Cain, The Inferno, The Funke Bunch and, my personal pick, Vicious Circle!

Karma Kollopy: We also have both Dragon Lightweight and Hardcore title matches as well as my two countrymen going head to head when former Tag Team champions Padraig O’Hearne and Matthew Macks collide. In a similar vein, sometime allies Meathead McAullie and Bret Heartbreak are going up against each other in an I Quit match. It’s going to be a special night. Jimmi is here with ‘The Alchemist’ and I once again.

Jimmi Addams: It is my unqualified pleasure to be here gentlemen. As you two have outlined so eloquently it promises to be a stellar night. If you’ll pardon my intrusion though I’d suggest a reverential silence for the next few minutes. I believe young Lady Katz is about to spread some SNP love in the shape of some complimentary t-shirts

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Kitty%20Katz_zpsbcbejke8.jpg

Kitty Katz lives up to Addams’ introduction. She manages, as ever, to marry sensuality and sweetness and has the SNP Army here in her home country completely and utterly in her thrall as she sways and moves between firing t-shirts into the appreciative crowd. There’s a sense that some of the audience would happily watch this all night long.

Angle Rating: 60

Jackie Goldstein: Do you think Padraig O’Hearne is the jealous type? Would he mind if I interviewed her?

Jimmi Addams: Speaking one gentleman to another Mr.Goldstein, I’d advise you keep your journalistic integrity focused on other avenues.

Karma Kollopy: I’d go with Jimmi on that one Jackie. In any event, we go now from the beauty and poise of Kitty Katz to the brutal violence of a Weapons Match for the SNP Hardcore title. Dwayne Dark defending against the man that he defeated for the belt, Colin Picalo.

Dwayne Dark Vs. Colin Picalo w/Mark Carnie (Weapons Match for SNP Hardcore title)

Dark and Picalo are going nose to nose even before the bell rings. Dark headbutts the smaller man to begin things and we’re underway. Dark batters Picalo all around the ring, it’s not fancy but it’s brutally efficient. Picalo attempts to fight fire with with but he’s overwhelmed. Dark contemptuously throws Picalo out of the ring and taunts the crowd. Picalo takes advantage of this by bringing the first of the weapons into the ring in the shape of a steel chair. He works Dark over with the chair before wedging it into the corner and attempting to Irish whip the champion but Dwayne Dark reverses the hold. Mark Carnie tries to interject himself at this stage, only for Dark to drag him in and Irish whip the SNP owner into the same corner where Picalo is still slumped against the chair. Dark tosses Carnie to the floor, hits Darkness Falls and pins Picalo to retain his title at 8’28.

Match Rating: 40 – Winner, via pinfall and STILL SNP Hardcore champion, Dwayne Dark.

Jackie Goldstein: Dwayne Dark’s run as champion continues. The Black Lions’ Hardcore Headbanger continues to dominate this division and, I’m just putting this out there guys, I’m not sure who is out there to stop him.

Jimmi Addams: I think you may find Mr.Goldstein that ‘Gentleman’ Jimmi Addams is the man you are looking for. Once I have completed my rehabilitation and dealt with a certain snake problem of course!

Karma Kollopy: Dwayne Dark is not a man to back down from any fight so if you can earn a shot Jimmi, I think we can safely say that he will give it to you.

Jackie Goldstein: More Black Lions in action next in the first of our Tag Team title tournament Semi-finals. The titles have been vacant since Northern Lights dropped them. This next match sees one half of that pair, Alton Vicious, teaming up with newcomer Curtis Jenkins as Vicious Circle. They will be taking on Wrath of Cain, a duo who have yet to taste defeat in their short run here in SNP. Something’s gotta give in this one folks!

Vicious Circle Vs. Wrath of Cain (Tag Team Tournament Semi-final)

With the stakes a high as they are both teams give their all from the outset and this match is a dizzying series of near falls. The clash of styles works surprisingly well, the power of Vicious and technique of Jenkins contrasting to the martial arts of Gavin Wrath and the high-flying offence of Carlile. A handspring hurricarana from Captain Crash almost puts Curtis Jenkins away and Carlile follows that up with a high risk strategy when he attempts a moonsault. Jenkins hits a Fisherman Suplex and makes the cover. Wrath tries to break it up but Alton Vicious cuts him off. Lucy Avatar makes the 3 count and Vicious Circle are in the final after 8’19. Vicious has carried the show here and Jenkins has been a little sluggish compared to the others but it’s been a good one.

Match Rating: 42 – Winner, via pinfall, Vicious Circle.

Karma Kollopy: Vicious Circle are in the final and Alton Vicious is one match away from regaining the title that he never lost in the ring. For Cain Carlile and Gavin Wrath it’s going to be a case of how they regroup from this one. Vicious Circle will wrestle again tonight.

Jimmi Addams: They’re building momentum though Mr.Kollopy and, I know from personal experience, momentum is everything for a tag team. Even more than for a singles competitor. Mr.Goldstein’s pick is looking better and better.

Karma Kollopy: Speaking of Jackie, he’s just headed to the ring for another edition of his interview show, ‘AuDibles’ where he’s going to be speaking to tonight’s challenger for the SNP King of Scotland title, Konrad Makinen, and his manager, Mark Carnie.

Jackie Goldstein: Welcome to AuDibles, the greatest interview show in the history of professional wrestling. I am honoured tonight to have Konrad Makinen here, alongside his manager Mark Carnie. ‘The Prodigy’ is here tonight to challenge ‘The Dude’ Riddick Jordan for the SNP King of Scotland title.

The interview that follows is clearly unscripted, to decidedly mixed results. Goldstein is excellent, smooth and natural in his delivery and entertaining and informative in equal measure. Makinen struggles a little when he has to go off his chief points but Mark Carnie is dreadful, stumbling and slurring his words throughout, not saying enough of the things he should and going off on tangents that have little or no bearing on the discussion at hand. Despite all this, the following is made clear:

Konrad Makinen is prepared for this fight and fully confident in his ability to defeat the champion. The mercurial Swede is not short on self-belief and, goaded on by Carnie, informs Goldstein that tonight is the night that he truly arrives and that all of SNP will be made aware that Carnie’s Angels are the premiere stable in SNP and Konrad Makinen is the premier wrestler in this company.

Angle Rating: 31

The Funke Bunch w/ Holly Leves Vs. The Inferno (Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final)

It’s another tightly contested clash here between two teams that have their eyes focused on the greater prize but have the experience and nous to not get ahead of themselves. The Bunch are in dynamic form and control the early running, with both Finn and Flash (and Holly on the outside) looking as though they’re going to dance their way to victory. They come undone however when trying to take a cheap shot. Lucy Avatar, who is showing a presence tonight like never before, is trying keep Lenny Mochin on the outside while Flash and Finn double team him. Leves, clearly buoyed by the seemingly inevitable victory, ups the level of her dancing to decidedly risqué. Almost every man in the place is entranced, including Flash and Finn. Rohan Kirchner manages to resist her wiles though and takes advantage of the distraction to level both halves of The Bunch with simultaneous low blows. In the fall out The Inferno hit Friendly Fire on Finn Funke and Mochin picks up the win at 7’26.

Match Rating: 38 – Winner, via pinfall, The Inferno.

Jackie Goldstein: And now we know the two teams who are going to compete for the SNP Tag Team titles. It will be The Inferno against Vicious Circle. Circle of Fire against The Black Lions. Almost too tough to call… but ‘The Alchemist’ is standing by his prick. Vicious Circle are going to be champions.

Jimmi Addams: A true gentleman keeps his counsel close to his chest and in an instance like this, with a compelling case to be made for both teams, it’s rather a blessing.

Karma Kollopy: Yeah it’s gonna be a big one, no doubt about it. Speaking of big matches this next one is the latest round in a rivalry that is growing ever more bitter. SNP Dragon Lightweight title on the line as well as COF issues here with champion Martin Heath defending against the man who beat him by count out last time out – aspiring Circle of Fire member Bali Daljit.

Jackie Goldstein: Also, we listen to the SNP Army and the evidence of that is here in this next match. You can see the ladders being brought out to ringside, that’s right people, it’s a Dragon Lightweight title match and it’s a Ladder Match.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Martin%20Heath_zpsnwdz7ild.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Bali%20Daljit_zpshopo5fxt.jpg

Before the match Martin Heath is giving the crowd the COF hand sign. Daljit mimics the gesture to widespread jeers from the crowd. He flushes with embarrassment and settles for attacking the champions from behind. In the early stages we see a vicious streak to Daljit that hasn’t been there before. He’s pumped up and aggressive. He utilises the ladder as a weapon but goes to the well one time too many and is caught out Heath ducks under his wild swing and then dropkicks the ladder into Daljit’s face. The champion is back in control and, after kneeing the challenger to the floor, he starts to climb the ladder. He’s almost got the title back in his grasp when the ladder is knocked over and he crashes to the mat. It’s not Daljit… who is just starting to crawl back into the ring now.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Leighton%20Buzzard_zpsd0xiiqbc.jpg

It’s Phil Bridge who sets the ladder upright again and helps Daljit to climb up to where he unhooks the belt and become Dragon Lightweight champion for the first time at 9’37. Daljit and Bridge, both Ring of Fire Dojo graduates, make COF hand signs from atop the ladder.

Match Rating: 42 - Winner, by item retrieval and NEW SNP Dragon Lightweight champion, Bali Daljit.

Jackie Goldstein: Bali Daljit has done it. He’s proven his worth and surely now the COF can no longer ignore his case for membership!

Karma Kollopy: Are you kidding me? All he’s proven is that he can’t get it done by himself and that he and his fellow dregs have just put themselves right in the firing line.

Jimmi Addams: I will say this though Mr.Kollopy, if Mr.Daljit is leaving The Chaos Arena tonight with Circle of Fire’s attention as well as the Dragon Lightweight title, he’ll consider it a fine evening’s work.

Jackie Goldstein: Of course he’ll be delighted with himself. He’s a champion for the first time in SNP and that is everything. We’ll get a look at COF’s inspirational leader here now too as the two members of Na Fianna, Padraig O’Hearne and Matthew Macks will meet each other for the first time after teaming together so successfully right here in SNP.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Matthew%20Macks_zpstnycjywu.jpg w/http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Kitty%20Katz_zpsbcbejke8.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Padraig%20OHearne_zpsj1a9kjrs.jpg

Matthew Macks w/Kitty Katz Vs. Padraig O’Hearne

It’s strange to see Kitty Katz in the opposite corner to her husband Padraig O’Hearne but when this one gets going the action between the ropes is intense enough that it’s easy to focus on that. These two know each other inside out and it results in a display of mat wrestling and counter holds that dazzle with the fluidity and intuitive combat between them both. Macks gives a great account of himself, bringing his high risk offence to the fore and scoring a number of near falls. O’Hearne is in absolutely majestic form though, taking everything that Macks has to throw at him, absorbing the punishment before turning everything around with a t-bone suplex out of nowhere. He presses home his advantage from here, putting on a clinic in grounding his agile foe that culminates in victory for O’Hearne after his Crowning Glory finisher at 8’34.

Match Rating: 56 – Winner, after pinfall, Padraig O’Hearne.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Padraig%20OHearne_zpsj1a9kjrs.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Matthew%20Macks_zpstnycjywu.jpg

After the bell rings, O’Hearne takes in the cheers of the crowd before helping Macks back to his feet. The men shake hands and embrace as the crowd chant, “Ireland, Ireland, Ireland!” Na Fianna take what could be their last bow together for a very long time.

Angle Rating: 28

Karma Kollopy: Nothing like a bit of Irish Pride to warm a man’s soul and those two guys in that ring are giving us all here plenty to be proud of. That was an absolutely excellent contest. They both gave it absolutely everything and they raised the bar right there. A classic.

Jackie Goldstein: There can be no argument with that Karma! We’ve gotten used to Padraig O’Hearne making a big impact here but Matthew Macks, even in defeat, has given us all a salient reminder of just how good he is when he’s firing on all cylinders.

Jimmi Addams: Quite so. I have no hesitation is saying gentleman, matches like that are what made me a fan of this great sport of ours in the first place.

Jackie Goldstein: This next one could be even better. Like O’Hearne and Macks, these two have worked together before and they’re both capable of putting on great matches. It’s an I Quit match between ‘The MVP of SNP’ Meathead McAullie and ‘Tomorrow’s Legend’ Bret Heartbreak!

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Bret%20Heartbreak_zps3aqc6jjw.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Meathead%20McAullie_zpsrxkjdtij.jpg

Bret Heartbreak Vs. Meathead McAullie (I Quit Match)

Meathead is in control here early on but for all his extra power he can’t stop Heartbreak from wriggling out of his every attempt at a submission attempt. Frustration is visibly rising in McAullie as Heartbreak ducks and dives and generally proves impossible to pin down for long enough to tie up. Heartbreak’s offence doesn’t amount to anything more than a slap that only serves to antagonise his opponent further. The match continues in this vein and is finely poised. It’s going to take something special to break this deadlock.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Hugh%20de%20Aske_zpsg8cy82yu.jpg

That something arrives in the shape of Hugh Echoes who enters the ring and gets right between the pair. He tells them that it is time for the King to assemble his forces and he has chosen them both, the youthful Knight in Heartbreak and the solid Castle in McAullie. He proclaims that they should follow him backstage and he will let them in on his master plan. Heartbreak follows immediately, McAullie seems hesitant at first but, after some consideration, he strides past a baffled looking Lucy Avatar, rolls out of the ring and follows the other two to the back.

Match Rating: 51 – No winner, declared a draw at 7’01, as both men leave the ring.

Jackie Goldstein: What the hell has just happened?

Karma Kollopy: I wish I knew, that was, to say the least, unexpected.

Jimmi Addams: It can never be said that SNP is boring gentlemen.

Karma Kollopy: Let’s get a camera backstage and try and follow up with this.

Jackie Goldstein: Well there’s one back there already where our colleague Liz Sweetheart is interviewing SNP King of Scotland Riddick Jordan.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Liz%20Sweetheart_zpsd7cmjonp.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Riddick%20Jordan_zps0ttcjipk.jpg

Liz Sweetheart asks Jordan how he feels ahead of his match with Konrad Makinen. Jordan, as ever, is relaxed and confident. ‘The Dude’ is not a man to sweat the details but he knows he has all the bases covered. Sure, Makinen is unbeaten in singles competition but he has never set foot in the same ring as Riddick Jordan so… how much does is that record really worth? Yeah, Makinen is a talented guy, sure. ‘The Dude’ Riddick Jordan has been kicking talented guys up and down the SNP ladder since he arrived in the company. As the first two-time SNP King of Scotland Riddick Jordan is well able to make a judgement on this one. At the end of the night, the future will still be black and Riddick Jordan, Riddick Jordan will still be King of Scotland.

Angle Rating: 39

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Bret%20Heartbreak_zps3aqc6jjw.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Hugh%20de%20Aske_zpsg8cy82yu.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Meathead%20McAullie_zpsrxkjdtij.jpg

As Jordan and Sweetheart leave Hugh Echoes strolls into frame with Hugh Heartbreak and Meathead McAullie flanking him. Echoes gives a sardonic smirk before addressing the camera. He explains that he had to go away and think after losing HIS title. Hugh Echoes, the one true King, has always got a plan. Now, tonight, it is time for him to share the next stage of that plan. The King’s Court are here and all of the pretenders, from Carnie’s Angels to Circle of Fire to The Black Lions are being put on notice. They can recant and take a pledge of allegiance or they can be defeated and destroyed. In Bret Heartbreak and Meathead McAullie the King has recruited well and all usurpers will learn the hard way that there is only one true King of Scotland.

Angle Rating: 51

Jackie Goldstein: Well, well, well. This is getting very interesting indeed! The King’s Court are the latest piece on the gameboard.

Karma Kollopy: Hugh Echoes was a massive force even when running solo. He’s affiliated himself with some genuine quality too. Yeah, this could be a game changer.

Jimmi Addams: This Echoes may claim royal blood but he’s not a gentleman in the mould of Jimmi Addams.

Jackie Goldstein: Riddick Jordan made some fairly solid points too in his interview. The King of Scotland title is the most prestigious in SNP and that man has no intent of letting his grip on it loosen tonight or any time soon.

Karma Kollopy: We will definitely see new champions after this next match though. The SNP Tag Team titles will no longer be vacant at the end of The Inferno Vs. Vicious Circle. It’s going to be a serious collision. Given the nature of this contest… we’re bringing the ladders out again too.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Lenny%20Mochin_zpsdym6hscd.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Rohan%20Kirchner_zpswdtdpytg.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Alton%20Vicious_zpshhz1lbr8.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Curtis%20Jenkins_zpssudjylu4.jpg

The Inferno Vs. Vicious Circle (Ladder Match for SNP Tag Team title)

Even by the frantic standards of SNP this one is fast. All four men show reckless abandon. Vicious and Kirchner both come close early on but Lenny Mochin powerbombs Vicious off the ladder and Curtis Jenkins topples another over when Kirchner’s fingers are scrabbling desperately to unhook the gold. Mochin goes toe to toe with Vicious, impressing everybody in attendance even though it ends predictably with Vicious headbutting Mochin on the bridge of the nose. ‘The Bad Man’ Alton Vicious is head and shoulders the most impressive of the four in the ring but it’s Rohan Kirchner, who was also in good form throughout, who springs from the middle rope to a ladder and darts up it. Vicious is grappling with Mochin and Jenkins (who the crowd seem to feel was overused tonight) is laid out on the floor. At 8’53 Rohan Kirchner unhooks the titles and The Inferno have ignited!

Match Rating: 51 – Winner, by item retrieval and NEW SNP Tag Team champions, The Inferno.

Karma Kollopy: The Inferno have done it! They’re the new champions. Lenny Mochin is the first man to win the Tag Team titles with two different partners.

Jackie Goldstein: A huge night for those two and for all of Circle of Fire! It will be a watershed moment for Vicious Circle too, they need to bounce back from this as quickly as possible.

Jimmi Addams: Indeed so Mr.Goldstein, all of these teams need to have their House of Cards in order because a few short months from now The Addams Family will be there to blow them all down. Then and only then will the SNP have worthy Tag Team champions.

Jackie Goldstein: I can’t believe I got that wrong. It almost makes me afraid to predict a winner in our main event except… you know, I’m ‘The Alchemist’, I don’t do fear… Konrad Makinen is going to back up his talk and put an exclamation mark on a bad hour or so for The Black Lions.

http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Riddick%20Jordan_zps0ttcjipk.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Versus_zpsola8jkdj.jpghttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Konrad%20Maumlkinen_zpswvm8melp.jpg w/http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah283/DarEatWorld/Mark%20Carnie_zpst3cqf4as.jpg

Riddick Jordan Vs. Konrad Makinen w/Mark Carnie (SNP King of Scotland title match)

The sense of anticipation is electric here and you sense the crowd’s eagerness as the two circle each other before locking up. Riddick Jordan and Konrad Makinen are both proven commodities here in SNP and hopes are high for this clash. We don’t get the match we expected. It’s not bad by any stretch but there’s a lack of chemistry between the two that’s holds this contest back from the classic people were expecting. It’s still competitive though and both men come close on a few occasions. Makinen hits a Spike DDT that brings him to within a heartbeat of winning. Jordan almost retains after a particularly brutal powerbomb and comes close again with a running knee to the face that draws blood. Makinen rallies though, desperate for victory and championship gold. He jabs a thumb in Jordan’s eye and scores a partial hit with his Stockholm Syndrome Superkick but it’s partially deflected when Jordan seems to sense it coming at the last second. Undeterred, Makinen rolls up Jordan from behind. Jordan deadweights him halfway through the roll though and squats. The Swede’s shoulders are pinned to the mat and Lucy Avatar makes the count; 1... 2… 3… After 12’27 Riddick Jordan picks up the win and retains what will have to go down as a disappointing Main Event.

Match Rating: 42 – Winner, by pinfall and STILL SNP King of Scotland, Riddick Jordan.

Jackie Goldstein: Riddick Jordan remains on top of the mountain! Makinen gave his all and will perhaps feel a little hard done but ‘The Dude’ will not care about that one way or the other.

Karma Kollopy: Jordan retains, not just the title, but bragging rights for The Black Lions. Konrad Makinen will be back again, he has too much quality not to but tonight, this will go down as a crushing disappointment to him and to Mark Carnie. I know how badly they both wanted this.

Jimmi Addams: This is a business of miliseconds sometimes and it proved to be the case there. It continues the journey of this fine promotion.

Jackie Goldstein: The next chapter will be written in late October when we cross Hadrian’s Wall for our annual excursion to England, it will be SNP Invasion and we will all be there and we hope you will too. Thanks for your time and support SNP Army, I’ve been Jackie Goldstein and on behalf of my colleagues Karma Kollopy and Jimmi Addams and everybody else here in SNP, it’s been a great night, we’ll see you all real soon.
