Dahlia goes to work on Cherry while her husband, TK Cooper cheers her on from the outside. She lays Cherry out with a vicious knee to the head before her and TK make out in the ring to the disgust of the fans. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Dahlia Black & Heidi Katrina vs Session Moth Martina & Toni Storm:</div> Dahlia stayed on the apron for the majority of this one and tried her hardest to avoid any conflict, specifically with Toni Storm. At one point, Heidi laid out Martina with a powerful spear and Dahlia tagged herself in to make the cover, however Martina kicked out, much to the anger of Dahlia. She tried to tag herself out, however Heidi hopped off of the apron and left her to fend for herself. Dahlia turned around and Martina attempts a clothesline, however Black dodges and Martina instead wipes out the referee. It doesnt take long for the South Pacific Power Trip to make the most of it as TK Cooper almost knocks Martina's head off of her shoulders with a jaw shattering Super Kick. Dahlia makes the cover for the pinfall!</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Bonesaw vs Trent Seven:</div> This was just a nasty fight as the debuting Trent Seven walked away with his hand raised in victory over the previously undefeated Bonesaw. Dunkan Disorderly did attempt to interfere however it wasnt enough to help his partner walk away with the victory, as a Seven Stars Lariat was enough for Trent to take home the win.</div></blockquote> As Trent is celebrating the building goes dark and the screen lights up with the same shadowy figures from the last show walking away from the camera. HONOUR. HEART. RESPECT. COMING SOON. Trent watches on in confusion before resuming his celebration with the fans as we cut to a hype package for tonight's main event championship match between Damien Corvin and Tyler Bate. We cut to a segment taped earlier in the week with Joe Hendry knocking on the door of Session Moth Martina's house. Session Moth Martina: Awwrigh' Joey! Mon in will ya! Joe Hendry: It's Joe actually but okay Hendry walks inside to see rose petals sprinkled on the floor leading up the stairs. He turns to see Martina smiling at him and gets incredibly uncomfortable. Session Moth Martina: I wanted to make it up to ye for what happened against Corvin. Mon for a ride. Joe Hendry: Yeah, I just gotta go grab something from the ca-... Martina plants a kiss on the Local Hero as we fade to black and cut back to the ring for our main event. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">FAI Championship:</div> Damien Corvin vs Tyler Bate: The two men meet in the middle of the ring and Tyler offers his hand to Corvin, who goes to shake it, however Tyler pulls it away and twirls his mustache to the amusement of the fans in attendance. However, Corvin doesn't see it that way, and fires at Tyler with a slap, and the two men start firing lefts and rights at each other. Corvin seems to win the battle of strikes as he forces Tyler to the ground with vicious strikes before following it up with a running knee to the fallen Englishman. Tyler gets back in to it and has Corvin reeling, and it doesnt take long before the rest of the Kings of the North; Bonesaw and Dunkan Disorderly, come out to take a closer look at the action. Tyler attempts the Tyler Driver '97, however Corvin flips him over but Tyler lands on his feet and nails a rolling wheel kick for a 2 count. Bonesaw and Disorderly try to get involved but here comes Trent Seven with a steel chair to chase them off! Tyler is distracted and when he turns around, Corvin attempts Royal Mutilation but Bate pushes him off and catches him in an Airplane Spin! Tyler lets him down and drops the dizzied Damien with a thunderous Tyler Driver '97!! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! At the very last moment before the referees hand hits the canvass Corvin gets his shoulder up and Tyler is in disbelief! Tyler picks him up to go for a second Tyler Driver '97 but out of nowhere, Corvin drops him with a Royal Mutilation, driving Tyler head first in to the canvass. ONE! TWO! THREE! WINNER and NEW FAI Champion: Damien Corvin!</div></blockquote> Bonesaw and Dunkan come to the ring to celebrate with the leader of the Kings of the North as the fans boo and jeer. The show ends with the image of the Kings of the North standing tall over Tyler Bate. </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">FAI 7: Martina's Big Sesh We kick tonights show off with the Kings of the North; Bonesaw, Dunkan Disorderly and the first ever FAI Champion, Damien Corvin, making their way to the ring. Corvin is leading the pack, and the fans are booing and hurling insults at him to his delight. Corvin climbs in to the ring with Bonesaw and Disorderly and takes a microphone from ringside. Damien Corvin: It's beautiful isn't it? The booing intensifies bringing a wide grin to the face of Corvin as he continues. Damien Corvin: Let me ask you a question....who is the Fight Academy Ireland champion? Who walked in to this ring 3 weeks ago and walked out the with gold? Who stood in this ring last week and proved that Tyler Bate is just a load of hype? Who was it? Do you know Dunkan? Dunkan Disorderly: Thanks for asking my opinion DC...no I do not know, could you please tell me? Damien Corvin: It would be my pleasure, it was me! You're looking at him! The best wrestler in Fight Academy Ireland, the best wrestler in the entirety of the UK, my name is Damien Corvin and I am the best wrestler on the Goddamn planet. The lights cut off and soon the music of Mustache Mountain plays, much to the annoyance of the Kings of the North. <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/yk2nfrn8V-w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Moustache Mountain Entrance Music & Video"></iframe></div></div> Trent Seven and Tyler Bate stand on the stage, each with microphones in their hand. Trent Seven: I beg your pardon gentlemen, how rude of myself and Tyler here, it has just dawned on me that we have not been formally introduced yet, my name is Trent Seven, and this is my pal, my chum, my good ol' buddy, Tyler Bate. Tyler waves to the audience and they wave back at him. Trent Seven: Myself and Tyler have had a, shall we say, less than great few weeks since Gold Rush up on Mustache Mountain. We thought, we pondered, and we looked to the future, and in around about 3 weeks time, Fight Academy Ireland makes it debut in Cork Tyler Bate: In Cork? Trent Seven: In Cork! And for those of you not familiar with Mustache Mountain, we have steamrolled through PROGRESS, demolished CHIKARA, WCPW, wXw, OTT, we've been all over the place. Isn't that right Tyler? Tyler Bate: Quite. Very well travelled, like two modern day Christopher Columbus'. And we feel that to mark Fight Academy Ireland's debut in the beautiful county of Cork, down at the very bottom of the emerald island. Why not give them a match that will be talked about for centuries to come? Trent Seven: That's a good idea Tyler Tyler Bate: 6 man tag, the Kings of the North, Bonesaw, Double D, and DC, taking on the 3 of us. The Kings look confused because there is only 2 members of Mustache Mountain standing before them. When suddenly the music of Tucker blasts around the building and Corvin's eyes widen. Tucker walks out, shakes hands with Mustache Mountain before the three charge to the ring. The Kings of the North just about to manage to slide out of the ring just in time to avoid any confrontation. But it doesn't last long as Tucker launches himself over the top rope wiping all 3 members of the Kings of the North out! He goes to town on Corvin with lefts and rights before referees come down to break up the fight and we go to break. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div>Kay Lee Ray vs Xia Brookside: Very straightforward victory here for Kay Lee Ray after she picked apart Brookside before finishing her off with a Gory Bomb. Very bright future ahead of the young 24 year old in FAI.</div></div><div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Sierra Loxton vs Toni Storm:</div> Much like the opener, this match was complete and utter domination on the part of Toni Storm. The finish came when Sierra was trying to balance herself on the top rope but was taken down by a Big Boot from Storm, followed up with a Piledriver for the pinfall and victory.</div></blockquote> We go backstage to see the "Local Hero" Joe Hendry helping Session Moth Martina train by holding up pads for her to punch. Hendry is shouting encouragement at Martina as Cherry Bomb looks on from afar giving them the side eye. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Jordan Devlin vs Joseph Connors:</div> Devlin came out flying right away here, however instead of the usual cocky, smug son of a b*tch we are used to, Devlin seems 100% focused on the task at hand. Devlin was able to pick up the victory after he locked in a Rolling Kneebar after 11 minutes to secure the submission victory.</div></blockquote> Despite the referee calling for the bell, Devlin refuses to let go of the hold when suddenly the building goes black and the screen lights up again. Two men in trench coats are vaguely visible, however, their faces are hidden by the shadows. HONOUR. HEART. RESPECT. DAS. IS. RINGKAMPF. <img alt="Ringkampf.jpg" data-src="https://images.bigcartel.com/theme_images/15136237/Ringkampf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> COMING SOON. The fans lose their minds as the logo of the hottest tag team in Germany flashes on the screen as Devlin looks around in shock. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Cherry Bomb & Session Moth Martina vs Dahlia Black & Heidi Katrina:</div> Cherry Bomb starts off this match with Dahlia Black, however Dahlia immediately tags in Heidi, wanting no piece of Cherry. Cherry and Martina start off the match in control until TK Cooper takes the referee, allowing Dahlia to sneak in and hit Martina from behind to get the heat. The heels work over Martina in the corner, Dahlia in particular shouting obscenities in her face. The finish came when Martina had Dahlia up on her shoulders, but Black rakes the eyes and follows it up with a running knee to the head. Cherry tries to get in to make the save but TK Cooper at ringside is holding her legs, making her helpless and all she can do is the referees hand slam down the mat for the 3 count.</div></blockquote> Dahlia and TK make out in the centre of the ring as Joe Hendry tends to the fallen Martina, helping her to the back. Could Joe Hendry possibly be...falling for the Session Moth? <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Mustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) vs South Pacific Power Trip (TK Cooper & Travis Banks):</div> Travis and TK had a huge opportunity right here to prove themselves to the FAI fans in attendance but from the get go, TK seemed a little too caught up with Dahlia, kissing her and touching her at any chance he could get. Travis was hands down the stand out performer in this match, but TK's obsession with Dahlia came back to haunt him as he turns right in to a Tyler Driver '97 for the pinfall.</div></blockquote></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">"IT'S 1984 ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!"

Those were the words of Big Dave on this morning's edition of the Graps Telegraph. Dave was reporting on the news that Dublin based wrestling promotion, Over The Top Wrestling and Belfast based wrestling promotion, Pro Wrestling Ulster, would be closing it's doors after they were bought out by none other than Fight Academy Ireland's owner, Conor McGregor. This follows on from 6 weeks ago when McGregor stated his intentions to unite the wrestling world in order to take on the WWE, with many in the industry now questioning Conor's intentions.

It is known that Conor is a huge admirer of WWE owner, Vince McMahon, leading many to suspect that this is the beginning of Conor's attempts to monopolise British Wrestling. This move makes Fight Academy Ireland the one and only professional wrestling promotion in Ireland. There are companies around Britain which are believed to be in some trouble financially, such as the Scottish Wrestling Alliance and All Star Wrestling, could McGregor possibly be waiting in the wings to expand his small empire?

Following on from this announcement, Fight Academy Ireland has also announced a partnership with Youtube where their shows will be broadcasted live on the popular streaming site.</div>

Cool vs Travis Banks: This was an easy match for Banks as he picked up a victory with an Airplane Spin Drop after 6 minutes. Travis has been talked about as the dark horse of the UK wrestling scene and this was a great opportunity for him to show himself off in singles competition.</div></div><div></div></blockquote> The screen lights up with in ring highlights of RingKampf from various different promotions including wXw and PROGRESS. The package ends with the image of Axel Dieter Jr. and Big Walter with the words "FAI 10" <img alt="CsJB5AKWcAAe76N.jpg:large" data-src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CsJB5AKWcAAe76N.jpg:large" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Jordan Devlin vs Justin Shape:</div> A bad night for the Nasties continues as Jordan Devlin makes quick work of Justin Shape in this bout. Devlin worked the right leg throughout the match and secured the victory with a Rolling Kneebar after 7 minutes.</div></blockquote> The screen lights up with a video package of the budding relationship of the odd couple of Fight Academy Ireland, Session Moth Martina and the Local Hero, Joe Hendry. We then cut to backstage where Dahlia Black is preparing for what could possibly be her last match in Fight Academy Ireland against Cherry Bomb. Her husband TK Cooper is attempting to keep her calm as her music hits and she begins her long walk to the ring. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Loser Leaves FAI:</div> Cherry Bomb vs Dahlia Black /w TK Cooper: Both women come out the gate swinging in this one! Dahlia had made it a mission of hers to make Cherry Bomb aware that FAI is her territory and took early control of this match up. Very early on, Cherry Bomb sends herself shoulder first in to the ring post whilst attempting a spear and the injured shoulder becomes a target for Dahlia throughout the match. Dahlia locks in hold after hold and delivers powerful kicks to the damaged shoulder. Cherry Bomb attempts her Inverted DDT, but Dahlia rolls out and nails a devastating Codebreaker across the arm of Cherry, almost ripping it out of the socket. Dahlia locks in a Cross Armbreaker and Cherry Bomb is howling out in agony, her screams echoing through the building here in Cork. Shockingly, Cherry is able to drag Dahlia across the ring in order to grab the bottom rope, pissing off TK and Dahlia in the process. Dahlia is throwing a fit in the ring, slapping the mat repeatedly in frustration. TK calls her over and kisses his wife and reassures her that everything's okay, attempting to get her focused. But she turns right in to an Inverted DDT from Cherry Bomb and the fans come unglued!!!! ONE!! TWO!!! TK PUTS THE FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!!! Dahlia is out cold in the ring but a last ditch attempt from TK Cooper to save his wife's career is just enough to keep her in this. TK is boasting to the crowd about what he did and is immediately wiped out with a tope through the middle rope, coming at him with the power of a bullet in the form of Cherry Bomb! Cherry rallies the fans behind her as she runs back in to the ring and is taken out with a vicious knee to the temple from Black! ONE! TWO! THREE!</div></blockquote> As Dahlia and TK make out over the unconscious body of Cherry Bomb, a video package is showing, promoting the upcoming Queen of the Graps tournament which will be held over two days in 3 weeks! In the package we see women such as Dahlia Black, Toni Storm, Session Moth Martina, Saraya Knight and many more! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Kings of the North vs Mustache Mountain & Tucker:</div> Tucker and Bonesaw are set to start us off but Tucker demands Damien Corvin tags himself in to start off this contest, to which he obliges, telling Bonesaw to tag him. Tucker smiles as Damien climbs in to the ring, but the smile is wiped off his face when Corvin spits right in his face. The rage slowly builds up inside Tucker and Corvin immediately tags Bonesaw back in and escapes before Tucker can get his hands on him! Tucker takes out his anger on Bonesaw, beating the holy hell out of him, however a run in from Dunkan Disorderly allowed the Kings to take back control of this match. The Kings dominate, each taking turns to beat on Tucker, with the exception of Corvin, who is trying to keep his distance. That is until Tucker makes the tag to Tyler Bate who clears house! He clotheslines Bonesaw, catches Disorderly with a T-Bone suplex and dropkicks the Champion off of the apron! Tyler attempts the Tyler Driver '97 but Bonesaw is able to wriggle out of it! The finish came when Disorderly was lining up for the Ulster Plantation but Tucker works his way out of it and drops Dunkan with a jaw shattering Super Kick!!! One! Two! Three! Tucker picks up the win!</div></blockquote> The faces celebrates in the ring as the Kings of the North regroups on the outside, a rare humiliation for the usually dominant Kings of the North. Tucker stands on the turnbuckle gesturing a title around his waist as the show ends with Corvin clinging on to the FAI Championship.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">BREAKING NEWS!!!

Following on from his earlier purchase of Over the Top Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Ulster, Fight Academy Ireland owner, Conor McGregor seems intent on monopolising the UK independent wrestling scene. This morning it was announced that after McGregor bought out every competitor in Ireland, he has bought out the Scottish Wrestling Alliance for a small sum of £76,361. This is a further shot fired at the UK indies after his aforementioned purchases.

Sources close to McGregor believe that this is a way for him to test the waters and see how the wrestling community would react. It's currently believed that while some have been critical of the move, nobody has actually committed to any action against McGregor. This move in to the Scottish market is believed to be laying the foundations for a future battle against Scottish regional promotion, Insane Championship Wrestling, who is one of the major players on the UK scene. Conor has always liked to brag about his money and throw his money around and the scary thing for the UK scene is that, while many people have come along with the intent of copying what Vince McMahon has done with the WWE, Conor might be the first to actually have the financial backing to afford to do it. This could be a wild couple of years for UK wrestling.

My aunt passed away a couple of days ago but I have already played through until the end of 2017. Will hopefully have the next show written in the next few days, however I have not had the time recently for obvious reasons. All I can say is, some big things in this dynasty coming very soon!

<div style="text-align:center;">FAI 9: A Womans Place is in the Ring! Day One: Venue: Waterfront Hall, Belfast, Ireland Rating: 0.14 (14,680 viewers) The show kicks off with the owner of Fight Academy Ireland standing in the middle of the ring, with a large trophy on a platform beside him. Conor McGregor: Ladies and gentleman of Belfast, welcome to Fight Academy Ireland and welcome to the first ever Queen of the Graps tournament! The audience applauds and cheers as McGregor continues talking. Conor McGregor: Behind me, is what these 16 women will be fighting for. Today and tomorrow you will witness the finest womens wrestling on the planet, not to be matched by anybody else! And on the issue of what comes next for the womens division in Fight Academy Ireland.... McGregor is handed a black bag from one of the ring crew members and takes out a championship title. Conor McGregor: The winner of this tournament, will not only be the first ever Queen of the Graps, she will become the first ever Fight Academy Irelands Womens Champion!

She walked out of this match with the victory after a vicious Gory Bomb.</div></blockquote> We go backstage to see Toni Storm, who currently sits on a 4-0 record in singles competition here in FAI, beginning her walk to the ring. She bumps in to Dahlia Black as she is walking and the two stare each other down before Dahlia wishes her luck, albeit not very genuinely, and walks off. Next we see second generation wrestler and daughter of Robbie Brookside, Xia Brookside getting a pep talk from Saraya Knight, who was victorious in tonights opener. We cant hear what is said but Saraya hugs Xia and then leaves her to her final preparations. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Toni Storm vs Xia Brookside:</div> A rematch from FAI 4: St Paddys Day Massacre here and the start of this match is very unexpected as Xia Brookside comes out flying! Formerly quite noticeably nice and nervous in the ring, this is the first time we've seen a genuine mean streak from Xia. However her efforts are in vain as a big boot from Toni Storm after 9 minutes almost rips her head off. Storm covers and takes home the victory!</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Bea Priestley vs Nixon Newell:</div> Two women making their debuts in Fight Academy Ireland and so are out to make a good first impression here!

Joe Hendry: I have been all over this world wrestling, singing, doing what a local hero does and representing my people. And I can tell you, on my travels, every man, woman or child I have ever come across. Not one of them compares to Martina. What sh- Martina walks by and smacks Hendry on the bum making him jump.

It also helped that the Local Hero, Joe Hendry was on the outside encouraging them to sing louder. The finish came when Martina hit Viper with a Bronco Buster, grinding on Vipers face a little too provocatively and probably costing FAI some sponsers, before pulling a condom out of her pants, putting it on her hand and choking Viper out with Mr Durexo!</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Lana Austin vs Wesna Busic:</div> Two veterans of the UK independent wrestling scene square off here and it's Lana Austin who comes out on top! Dropping Busic with the Kiss of Death after 7 minutes.</div></blockquote> Following this match, we are showing the same video package hyping the debut of RingKampf. It announces that RingKampf will appear at FAI 10 in a few weeks. Following that, we are also shown a highlight package for one of the most popular women in the tournament, Kay Lee Ray, documenting her journey from nothing to one of the faces of British wrestling. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Heidi Katrina vs Kay Lee Ray:</div> A great bout here in our semi-main event between two top calibre athletes! Heidi and Kay Lee beat the hell out of each other here but it was KLR who walked out with her hand raised in victory following a Code Red.</div></blockquote> It is main event time and Kasey Owens makes her entrance before its time for the arrival of Dahlia Black and TK Cooper! The two can barely keep their hands off of each other and make out at any opportunity. It gets so bad at one point that the referee has to pull TK off of Dahlia to start the contest. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Dahlia Black vs Kasey Owens:</div> Dahlia made quick work of Kasey in this one and like always, took the time at numerous points to kiss TK Cooper.

Day Two: Venue: Waterfront Hall, Belfast, Ireland Rating: 0.18 (18,140 viewers) We kick off the show with a highlight package detailing everything what happened the night before on day one of the Queen of the Graps tournament, before outlining each match that will take place tonight. 'C'est La Vie' by Bewitched blasts around the building and out comes Nixon Newell for the first Quarter final bout! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div>Nixon Newell vs Toni Storm: A very back and forth contest in the opener and the crowd are red hot behind both women.

Dahlia uses every underhanded trick in the book to get ahead but still Kay Lee keeps fighting back and takes Dahlia to the limit. The finish came when Kay Lee was rallying the fans behind her and knocked Black to the outside. She attempted a suicide dive on to Dahlia, but TK Cooper pushed his girlfriend out of the way and took the bullet himself! As Kay Lee Ray is getting back to her feet, she is knocked senseless by a vicious knee to the head from Dahlia Black. She rolls KLR back in to the ring and hits a second knee to end this contest and advance to the semi finals.</div></blockquote> Medical staff are helping Kay Lee to the back after the two brutal knees she just took as Dahlia and TK do their usual celebration of making out in the ring to the disgust of the fans. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Katey Harvey vs Saraya Knight:</div> Katey had the backing of the fans throughout this bout and took it to the veteran right off the bat!

She demands Martina stop dancing, but she refuses, and drops Lana with a dropkick when she tries to do something about it. A decent bout with good heat, Martina advances to the semi finals following a Codebreaker to Austin.</div></blockquote> As soon as the bell rings, Xia Brookside and Saraya Knight storm the ring immediately and beat the hell out of the Session Moth! Joe Hendry tries to get involved by pulling Xia away but does not want to strike a woman and so calls for back up from the back. A crowd of referees swarm the ring and break up the fight. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Saraya Knight vs Session Moth Martina:</div> Martina can barely get back to her feet to start the bout but Hendry runs to the back, and grabs a can of lager! He runs to the ring as fast as possible and hands it to Martina, who takes a drink and like Popeye is ready and raring to go! Martina fires up and takes the fight to Saraya, however unfortunately after Brookside distracts the referee, Saraya rakes the eyes and manages to take back control. Xia again tries to get involved but the referee sends her to the back, which makes Saraya irate! She gets in the referees face and pushes him to the ground. In the corner of the ring, Martina takes another swig from the beer can and sprays it in to the face of Saraya, temporarily blinding her! She nails a Codebreaker and the Session Moth advances to the final!</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Dahlia Black vs Toni Storm:</div> These women have met once before at FAI 5: March Madness and it was Toni Storm who came out on top, and Storm was no doubt the favourite going in to this one. Storm bossed a lot of the match, using her power to get the better of Dahlia, however, like in each match she's had in the tournament, uses every trick in the book to get ahead. TK attempts to Super Kick Storm while the referee has his back turned, however Toni ducks it and sends Cooper packing with a vicious Big Boot bringing the fans to their feet! Storm and Dahlia battle it out in the ring with rights and lefts and Toni gets the better of it. She sets Dahlia up for the Piledriver, but Dahlia rolls her up and steals the victory!</div></blockquote> Dahlia and TK regroups on the ramp and makeout as Toni is heartbroken in the ring. We go to another hype package for RingKampf's debut at FAI 10 with the lasting image of a tearful Toni Storm in the middle of the ring. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Queen of the Graps Final!!</div> FAI Womens Championship: Dahlia Black vs Session Moth Martina: Martina is notably the more hurt of the two finalists but she still perseveres through this bout. TK Cooper tried to get involved early on to help Dahlia out but Hendry grabs him, and nails him with the Freak of Nature on the outside. Dahlia is distracted upon seeing this and Martina rolls her up for the two count! The referee sends the two men to the back to make this match purely about the women in the ring. Dahlia takes control of the match, basically picking off a woman who was doomed from the moment she stepped in to the ring. Martina is already badly hurt following the attack from Saraya and Xia earlier in the night, added to the fatigue of already wrestling twice. Dahlia takes her sweet time, slowly dissecting the Session Moth as the fans tries to rally behind her. A loud Session Moth chant breaks out as Dahlia signals for the running knee, MARTINA COUNTERS!! CODEBREAKER!!!! ONE! TWO! THRE-KICKOUT!!! The fans cant believe it! Martina just hit Black with her best shot and it wasn't good enough to get the job done. Martina reaches down her pants and pulls out Mr Durexo just like the night before! She pulls the condom over her hand and attempts to nail Dahlia with it, however Black ducks, bounces off of the ropes and comes back with a gruesome looking Springboard Flying Knee to the head of Martina! Martina is out as Dahlia crawls to make the cover. ONE! TWO! TWO AND A HALF! THREE! WINNER and NEW FAI WOMENS CHAMPION: DAHLIA BLACK</div></blockquote> Dahlia crumbles in to a heap in the middle of the ring as the referee hands her the title. TK Cooper is back out to celebrate with his girlfriend as Joe Hendry scrapes Martina off of the mat and carries her to the back. Dahlia is barely able to walk and so TK Cooper lifts her up and carries her around the ring to celebrate her title victory. The show goes off the air with TK and Dahlia kissing while TK holds up the finger to the crowd, and Dahlia holds up the FAI Womens Championship.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">"Look we gotta talk about Conor"

Conor McGregor (28) has continued in his pursuit to monopolise the professional wrestling world as it was announced today that he had bought over another two promotions. However, these promotions caused a great deal of confusion as it was believed that McGregor had previously wanted to monopolise wrestling in the UK. Todays purchases of Liverpool based company, All Star Wrestling for £84,323 and Japanese company Cho Sento Puroresu FMW for £131,053 indicates that McGregor might be looking to make an impact on a global scale.

Inside sources within Fight Academy Ireland, McGregor's own promotion and private project, tell us that they believe this may have to do with securing a relationship with subscription service FloSlam. This is because of Youtube's new regulations in terms of monetisation, a change that means that professional wrestling on Youtube is no longer a profitable endeavor. This has cut the revenue of numerous wrestling promotions in half and led to many suddenly finding themselves in financial trouble.

The belief within FloSlam however is that they are already stacked with wrestling programming, as they already air Evolve, Shimmer, Shine, Full Impact Pro, House of Hardcore and more recently, All Japan Pro Wrestling. We do believe that FloSlam at this moment in time, is not interested in bringing Fight Academy Ireland to its network, however that does not mean there are no networks that are willing to speak to McGregor about a potential deal, with Challenge in the UK where Impact Wrestling also have a deal, indicating they may be interested.

In other news around the UK, International Pro Wrestling: UK is the first company to take a stand against McGregor and Fight Academy Ireland, declaring war on the company. IPW: UK is one of the more prestigious and well known independent promotions in the UK and have hosted numerous big names such as Fergal Devitt, PAC, Zack Sabre Jr., Jimmy Havoc and many more. There seems to be a lot of hostility between both companies with workers from both companies prohibited from working with the other. It is believed that McGregor is planning to run shows in the South of England on the same date as IPW:UK, and as a matter of fact, tickets for FAI 13: We're Taking Over will be on sale from tomorrow. McGregor has always been known as a very power hungry man who is not afraid to throw around his wealth to big himself up. The belief is that he will use his relationship with Pro Wrestling NOAH to bring over a HUGE name in order to divert attention away from the IPW: UK show. More on this as we find out.

FAI 10: Suns Out, Tops Off

Venue: O2 Academy Stadium, Newcastle, England

Rating: 0.29 (29,420 viewers)

"Local Hero" Joe Hendry vs TK Cooper:
A very strong opener here off the back of both mens girlfriend's going to war in the final of the Queen of the Graps tournament for the FAI Womens Championship. Hendry was in control of this match, however, a distraction from Dahlia Black allowed TK Cooper to roll Hendry up and grab the tights for the victory.

On the outside, Martina leaps on Dahlia and starts firing down with lefts and rights for costing Hendry the match. Martina stomps a mudhole on her, until Cooper gets involved and pushes her off, sending her crashing head first in to the guard rail. Upon seeing this, Hendry runs to her aid, however TK and Dahlia manage to escape before the Local Hero could get his hands on them.

RingKampf vs The GymNasties:
A total squash match as expected, the team of Axel Dieter Jr. and Big Walter put on a clinic in this one. Dieter took most of the match and dismantled both Sammy D and Justy with pure ease. RingKampf could have won at any time they wanted after the first 3 minutes, however prolonged the punishment of the 'Nasties for another 7 minutes. RingKampf finally picked up the victory after Big Walter dropped Sammy with the Golden Bomb.

"The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne vs "Wildcat" Saxon Huxley:
The Wildcat would have been best off staying at home tonight as he was taken to hell and back by Pete Dunne. The Bruiserweight beat him to a pulp and finished him off with the Bitter End!

Kings of the North vs Moustache Mountain:
Two very powerful teams square off here in a match that has been building for months! Moustache Mountain seems to have the Kings of the North's number and their impressive run against the Northern Irishmen continues as Bate puts away Dunkan Disorderly with the Tyler Driver '97.

We immediately cut to a hype package for 'The Kiwi Buzzsaw' Travis Banks ahead of his IWA World Championship match with Lionheart.

IWA World Championship:
Lionheart © vs Travis Banks:
The match starts off slowly with both men trying to feel each other out, neither men willing to leave themselves open for their opponent. As the match gets going, Travis Banks takes the early control, trying to work on the legs of Lionheart to eliminate the height advantage. Travis locks in a series of submissions to wear down the leg and at numerous points it looks as if Lionheart is about to tap, but he fights back! The finish came when Lionheart had Banks laid out in the middle of the ring and went up top to hit the Frog Splash. However, the injury to his leg caused him to stumble a little, giving Banks enough time to shake the cobwebs and move out of the way, sending the champion crashing in to the mat. Travis follows it up with a Shining Wizard and locks Lionheart in the Figure Four Leglock! Lionheart is screaming out in agony but he has no choice but to tap out!

WINNER and NEW IWA WORLD CHAMPION: 'The Kiwi Buzzsaw' Travis Banks

FAI Championship:
Damien Corvin © vs Tucker:
This one was an all out war between two men who just absolutely despise one another. Tucker started the match off with a running dropkick, sending Corvin flying in to the turnbuckle and took the fight to him with kicks and strikes in the corner. Corvin had a big size advantage, however Tucker used his speed and agility to perfection to avoid the big man. At the 5 minute mark Tucker catches Corvin was a sick looking Super Kick and the place comes unglued!!

ONE!!

TWO!!

CORVIN GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Tucker cant believe it and so goes back to the corner to tune up the band ala Shawn Michaels. However, as Corvin gets to one knee, Bonesaw is at ringside holding Tucker's foot! Moustache Mountain come out and chase off the Kings of the North but the distraction was just enough time to allow Corvin to take back control. The finish came when Tucker attempted a Springboard 450 splash, however was caught in mid air with a Royal Mutilation!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

WINNER and STILL FAI CHAMPION: Damien Corvin

"Look We Gotta Talk About Conor"

FAI 10: Suns Out, Tops Off is in the books and it will go down as the most successful event in the company's short history after selling over 2,000 tickets. Travis Banks was regarded as the star of the show and in fact, his victory over Lionheart was a huge shock to many, given that Lionheart had only defended the IWA World Championship once before he dropped it to Banks. The reason why he lost it was simple, he got injured twice in a short space of time and Conor believed that the IWA World Champion should be a guy they can rely on to travel the globe and defend the title. A few months ago at FAI 8: The Big Mad House Party, the main event was originally scheduled to be Lionheart going over Travis Banks, but unfortunately, Lionheart got hurt and McGregor had to scramble to sign Trent Seven so that the show could have a strong main event with the Kings of the North vs Moustache Mountain and Tucker.

The rumour going around is that McGregor has huge plans for Travis Banks, and wants to bring in big names from around the world to challenge for the IWA World Championship. Talks were started with Matt Riddle but he started training for an MMA fight and so has stopped taking bookings as of this moment. There was also talk of Kurt Angle coming in for a one and done but McGregor felt like he wanted too much money, although did not completely shut the door to the idea of bringing Angle in at some point in the future.

In other Fight Academy Ireland related news, McGregor's right hand man, Mad Man Manson has been scouting talent from around the UK and Europe, and is believed to be focusing on younger, lesser known talents. 2 year pro, Sebastian, who trained at the PROJO (PROGRESS Wrestling dojo) is currently in talks over coming in. 20 year old English talent HC Dyer and member of the legendary Anoa'i dynasty, Sean Maluta, have also been signed to short terms contracts.

However, there has been issues with Toni Storm. She was originally planned to win the Queen of the Graps tournament, however her gimmick was just not getting over and she was bombing throughout the tournament. The plans were changed last minute to have Dahlia Black go over as she and TK Cooper are heat magnets.

Man, I hope people aren't sleeping on this diary, because this has been consistently top notch work. As a Yank, any legal sources of video for some of the U.K. & Irish promotions with the workers in this diary?

Also, condolences on your aunt. I hope you're doing all right.

I would recommend searching Joe Hendry up on Youtube, he covers famous pop songs and uses them to trash talk his opponents. Hendry was also Rusev's infamous lawyer on an episode of Raw a couple of years ago who had a really awful Russian accent. There are around 35/40 different songs I think. This is probably my favourite, from the ICW show where they sold out the Hydro a few months ago (I think 6,000 seats) <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_2ugp3WM690?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Johemian Rhapsody - Joe Hendry's Entrance at ICW Fear & Loathing IX"></iframe></div></div> Also a Joe Hendry cover song of former Raw theme song "Move to the Music" for a short lived tag team with Joseph Connors: <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/YHMo8PkTCxM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Joe Hendry & Joseph Conners Entrance Theme & Video"></iframe></div></div> Hendry singing about Kurt Angle to the tune of Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen: <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/u5i3xBnlD14?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Joe Hendry & Kurt Angle's WCPW Refuse To Lose Entrances"></iframe></div></div> Tucker, Saxon Huxley, Jordan Devlin, Sam Gradwell, Pete Dunne, Trent Seven and Tyler Bate all competed in the WWE United Kingdom Championship. I was at the show live and a lot of those guys blew me away so if you have time to watch it, I'd highly recommend it. Saxon Huxley is the guy who looks like Jesus and was probably one of the most over guys in the building because of it. Tucker also has one of the best Super Kicks I have ever seen, its a work of art. Pete Dunne, Trent Seven and Tyler Bate will all be on WWE TV very soon and as you already know, have been on NXT. The three of them are incredible talents, Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate especially. Dunne is 23 and has incredible facial expressions, can work, has his character down to a tee. Tyler is 20, overflowing with charisma, very great look, and can work. Only 5 foot 8 but has legs as thick as houses. This is a promo from Dunne, Trent and Tyler. They are currently in a heel stable in PROGRESS called British Strong Style. <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0NULTU8uV4w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title=""></iframe></div></div> <a href="http://dx-tv.com/progerss-wrestling-chapter-43-tropic-thunderbastard-web-hd-x264-dx-tv-720p-1080p.html" rel="external nofollow">http://dx-tv.com/progerss-wrestling-chapter-43-tropic-thunderbastard-web-hd-x264-dx-tv-720p-1080p.html</a> This is a not quite legal link to PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 43 Tropic Thunder Bastard. I would highly recommend you giving it a watch. It features Travis Banks and TK Cooper vs RingKampf in a tremendous match, Pete Dunne vs Jimmy Havoc and the Kings of the North in their PROGRESS debut, but the Kings have been tearing it up in Over The Top Wrestling which is on FloSlam. They actually just sold out a 2,000 seater building last week with the Elite in the main event. If you have the time, I would recommend checking out OTT, because it is one of the best indies I have ever watched. OTT is also the home of Tucker, Session Moth Martina, Jordan Devlin, the GymNasties and loads more. Ricochet and Ospreay had a match that was rated ***** by Meltzer there in December as well. British and Irish wrestling is kind of in the middle of a boom period right now, probably the hottest market for wrestling on the planet. So much talent, the most energetic fans and consistently great shows. There are a lot of great promotions but PROGRESS Wrestling and Over The Top Wrestling are my two favourites to watch, mainly because there is so much energy and a real connection between the fans and the wrestlers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tucker vs Tyler Bate: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyBTtUFwjDw" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyBTtUFwjDw</a> Ricochet vs Travis Banks (With Jim Ross on Commentary): <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7j5oedXhXtY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="WCPW Loaded #22.4 Ricochet vs Travis Banks"></iframe></div></div> Jack Gallagher vs Pete Dunne: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7FxUgEHxB8" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7FxUgEHxB8</a> AJ Styles & the Young Bucks vs Dan Moloney, Trent Seven & Tyler Bate: <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6uiofGnsd8k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="CHIKARA: Bullet Club vs. Team Fight Club: PRO (PCAGG 442)"></iframe></div></div> Justin Shape recently turned on the GymNasties but here's the promo to set up his match against them.

Bow to the Kings of the North! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43272" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Number One Contenders match for the FAI Championship:</div> Dunkan Disorderly vs Lionheart vs Trent Seven vs Tyler Bate: There are dueling chants of "Tyler Tyler Bate" and "Ohhh Trent Seven's Army" to start this one off before the fans eventually settle for "Moustache Mountain!". Trent and Tyler take early control of this contest and take out both Lionheart and Disorderly, soon it is only those two left standing in the ring. Trent offers his hand to his team mate and Tyler shakes it before the two locks up. Each man gets his time to shine and to the surprise of nobody, the Kings of the North dont take long before making their presence felt. Taking advantage of the No DQ rules in a fatal 4 way, Bonesaw and Corvin assault each of Dunkan's opponents, putting Lionheart through the commentary table and hitting Trent and Tyler with a 3D each. Corvin drags the limp body of Disorderly on top of Trent. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Damien and Bonesaw are irate, but Bonesaw quickly puts Dunkan on top of Tyler Bate who also kicks out! Soon Moustache Mountain comes back, taking the fight to the Kings of the North! Tyler hits a Tyler Driver '97 on Bonesaw while Trent hits a Seven Stars Lariat on Corvin! The Kings have been sent packing! SEVEN STARS LARIAT TO TYLER BATE!!!! ONE!!!! TWO!!!! DUNKAN BREAKS IT UP!!!! The crowd is in shock! It looked like for sure that Trent Seven had the match one right then and there! Dunkan Disorderly and Trent Seven are hammering away at each other in the middle of the ring with forearms to the temple before Disorderly attempts the Ulster Plantation! Seven wriggles free and drops him with the Seven Stars Lariat!!! ONE!!!! TWO!!!! THREE!!!!</div></blockquote> Trent Seven is the new number one contender! While he's celebrating, Tyler Bate reappears behind him, holding his neck after that devastating lariat he received. Bate looks pissed at Trent, but the anger soon turns to joy and he hugs his friend, lifts his arm up in victory and the two celebrate together. We go backstage to see Conor McGregor in his office with the IWA World Champion, the Kiwi Buzzsaw, Travis Banks. Banks is waiting to hear who his opponent for FAI 12 will be. Conor McGregor: Now I'm sure you know exactly why I have called you back here. Listen Trav, I am a huge fan of your work, but I feel that in order for you to take it to the next level, you need to fight the best of the best. I have been contact with numerous people to find a contender worthy of challenging you for that title and I have just the guy for the job. At FAI 12, in the Altrincham Ice Dome, in front of 2,500 screaming fans, it will be Travis Banks, defending the IWA World Championship....against Naomichi Marufuji! Travis looks stunned, but nods his head, signalling that he is up for the challenge as the show goes off the air.</div>
