SWF - The TakeOver!

[moafnsteel]

 

Hello and thank you for logging on to the WrestlingReport with yours truly, Bryan Johnson. Before we jump into recapping some of the big ‘15 news, let me remind you to check out my recaps for USPC, TCW, and the US Indy Scene. Now let’s jump into what you all clicked on to read

 

SWF has had a rocky year losing Steve Frehley, Rich Money, and the firing of Peter Michaels. While they scooped up some good, young indy stars, Mikey Lau, Bret Starr, Jimmy Hernandez, and Steven Parker, they have yet to really use those guys in any meaningful purpose, instead they have been lingering at the bottom of the cards, lucky to even get shown on TV. While, USPW and Reverie have been hogging much of the spotlight in the wrestling world, SWF sure made huge headlines when, in August they announced that they were going to become a publicly traded company, with the hope that the capital they will raise from this will help them with a new “secret” project that will be announced in the future. Now we finally know what that “secret” project is, just last night Richard made his return to TV cameras with his boys flanking him as they made their huge announcement. Starting January 1st the SWF Network will officially launch world wide for the low, low price of $9.99 a month. That will give you access to every PPV SWF has ever hosted, a catalog of SWF Supreme TV episodes, filmed events from territory days, as well as the only place RIPW events and their new weekly show will air. Also in the spirit of launching SWF Network, a new show will also be debuting the 1st week of January and every Saturday, SWF Uprising featuring the best and brightest young talent from not only SWF and RIPW rosters, but also indy sensations! Currently SWF has sent out multiple offers to talent from around the world to help create SWF Uprising. As Uprising airs, more announcements about this unique show will be given. Lastly, SWF Network will begin filming its own exclusive content featuring your favorite wrestling, the first show that can be announced is Sexy Time featuring Joe Sexy, a weekly talk show where Joe Sexy talks all things SWF and will have exclusive interviews. If that wasn’t enough starting in August, after Supreme Challenge, the SWF Network will be the ONLY place to catch all 12 SWF Events, as well as some special one-off events that SWF will be hosting over the coming years. This is probably the boldest move that SWF or any wrestling company has ever made, and with the new year slowly creeping up on us we will see if this move will pay off. 2016 is shaping up to be a huge year for wrestling and I cannot wait to see how USPW and TCW plan to counter SWF’s strategy and the mainstream attention SWF is getting. It will also be interesting to see if USPW and TCW are going to go after any of the talent that SWF plans to bring on to help launch their Uprising TV show. Only time will tell, and I don’t know about you but I think I will give SWF Network a try for a couple a months and see if it is worth it. Don’t worry everybody I will give a breakdown of the Network once it launches so you too know if it is worth it. Thanks for reading everybody and remember to check back on Tuesday Night for my recap of SWF Supreme TV, as well as my full coverage for everything USPW and TCW, right here on the WrestlingReport.

 

 

So I am competing with Dark_Raider for the most active dynasties at once lol. All jokes aside I have been planning this dynasty out for almost a month now with different ideas that I have gotten from renders and other dynasties. A Big thanks to Dark_Raider, Historian, and King Bison for being a sounding board for me. I am excited for this dynasty as I want to do some different things than I have done in the past with SWF. Hopefully you all will enjoy as I experiment with different ideas and some different dynasty techniques to keep refining my writing skills.

Roster Coming Soon.... I completely forgot to keep track of the roster from the start. I just finished booking When the World is watching (April Wk2) so once I post that show I will update this page. I don't want to do it early as I don't want to spoil any of the potential changes, debuts, gimmick changes, etc.

Welcome everybody to your favorite weekly preview of every major North American promotion with yours truly Bryan Johnson! So before we look at what SWF has in store for us at the first ever Supreme TV for 2016, rumor has it that SWF has sent out major, long-term contracts to indy stars from all over the world hoping to lock up talent for their new Uprising show airing in Feb. on The SWF Network. Looking at SWF's weekly predictions it seems a bunch of the same from last year. I doubt SWF will change the formula much as they lost so much momentum and their main event scene also features the same few guys, so I doubt much will change. Let's just see </p><p> </p><p>

He talks about his amazing legacy of one of the greatest in SWF (garnishing massive boos and “bullshit” chants from the crowd). He talks about now that he is on the board of directors for SWF he feels that he needs to find a protege to pass on all his knowledge and carry on his legacy. Starting next week he will start scouting young talent from RIPW only, as “indy” starts are all wannabes and only the best go to RIPW, to identify his protege.</p><p> Rating: 82</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="SOblCUz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SOblCUz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="8T0Yaln.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8T0Yaln.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Ana is backstage with Paul Huntington talking about his upcoming rematch at When Hell Freezes Over against Joey Morgan for the North American Title.

The action started off fast, and never let up. Both Jefferson and Randy trading momentum and high spots throughout the match. </p><p> </p><p> Highlights:</p><p> Jefferson hitting a beautiful superkick, but only netted him a close 2 count</p><p> Randy hitting an over-the-top rope diving swanton onto a recovering Jefferson and Huey outside the ring</p><p> The match ended when Randy, in full control, was setting up for a Bumfhole in One, but the female fan jumped on the apron and got Randy’s attention. She planted a kiss on Randy, which gave Jefferson the opportunity to attack Randy and hit a Stage Dive for the pin and win in 8:05</p><p> Rating: 68</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="3uteJ37.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3uteJ37.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="B4txucB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/B4txucB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 3: Mikey Lau vs Everest</p><p> Mikey received a good pop from the crowd which was immediately cooled off when Everest made his slow prod to the ring. Despite Everest’s severe limitations in the ring Mikey was able to keep the crowd invested with his high intensity offense consisting of marital art-inspired kicks and strikes. Everest was able to mount some offense, but it was minimally effective and almost always brought the crowd’s mood down. </p><p> </p><p> Highlights:</p><p> Mikey’s fury of kicks and strikes to start off the match</p><p> Everest slowing things down with a massive powerslam. (then boring the crowd with a rest hold, which Mikey was able to “power” out of with the help of the crowd chanting)</p><p> Mikey ended the match when he knocked Everest out with a Scything Side Kick. The ref called for the bell at 6:27 awarding Mikey the win due to Everest being too injured to continue. </p><p> Rating: 57</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Lr8nma6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Lr8nma6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Joey makes his way to the ring to a decent pop. Once in the ring he talks about his battle with Paul and winning the title. He introduces the first ever Open Challenge for the North American Title. To make things more interesting he plans to only open the challenge to current RIPW challenges in order to give them a shot of a lifetime and to show the fans the awesome talent that is currently in RIPW. He also reminds them that they can see all the awesome talent in RIPW only on SWF NETWORK! The first challenge is none other than the “High Flyin’ Hawaiian” James Adams!</p><p> Rating: 71</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="A7tShOJ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/A7tShOJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="Lr8nma6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Lr8nma6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="rnJf7KQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rnJf7KQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 4: NA Championship Joey Morgan vs James Adams</p><p> Solid start to the match saw James get some good offense in and control the bout for a good portion. Joey played defense and several times James got some close two counts. Joey turned things around when he nailed James with a kick to the face from a charging James in the corner. While the match was slightly underwhelming, as James is relatively unknown to the masses, it did a good job of showcasing one of RIPW’s brightest talents.</p><p> </p><p> Highlights:</p><p> James putting Joey in a boston crab that almost got him the win. </p><p> Joey targeting James left leg throughout the bout, and James remembering to play up the injury throughout the match.</p><p> Joey finished the match with an Empire Spiral in 10:06 for the pinfall victory.</p><p> After the match Joey rarised James hand in a sign of respect and they walked to the back together. </p><p> Rating: 53</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="hZicSBw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hZicSBw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="HuOslcP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HuOslcP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="sDJuyjf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sDJuyjf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Big Money Brandon James and Krissy storm Jerry’s office demanding the main event being changed. Krissy reminds Jerry that Big Money is the biggest thing in SWF and deserves a proper slot in the main event. Shockingly Jerry stands his ground, and when Big Money starts to get angry, Jerry tells him that if he touches Jerry or his office then he will be eliminated from the main event! Krissy and Big Money leave in a foul mood. </p><p> Rating: 76</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="2wWy0HS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2wWy0HS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6C2C0TL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6C2C0TL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> The always creepy and slightly pervert Joey Sexy starts off Sexy Time with American Machine. Joe asks American Machine about being lost and without direction now that Des is on the sideline. Anytime American Machine tries to move away from the topic of Des being injured, Joe constantly brings it back, even reminding AM that he was the one who put Des on the sideline. Finally AM had enough and attacks Joe, leading to an impromptu match. </p><p> Rating: 66</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="2wWy0HS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2wWy0HS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="6C2C0TL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6C2C0TL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 5: Joey Sexy vs American Machine</p><p> For two aging veterans that are on the wrong side of their careers they were able to pu on a good match. Joe definitely looked worse for wear and AM had to carry most of the heavy lifting in the match. The crowd stayed into the match for the most part, despite the use of multiple rest holds and the match being rather slow paced.</p><p> Highlights:</p><p> AM displaying his power with a Samoan Drop to take control of the match</p><p> Joe Sexy taunting the crowd and AM anytime that he was able to get AM on the ground.</p><p> AM seemed to have the match one after a second rope DDT, until</p><p> <img alt="bP86cBT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bP86cBT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Interfered in the match while the ref was checking on Joe.</p><p> Joe put AM with a One Night Stand in 8:17 for the pinfall victory. Joe and who we know as Sammy Smoke (but dressed differently) celebrated their way to the back.</p><p> Rating: 63</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="tfKC3oA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tfKC3oA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="xNR3Z3g.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xNR3Z3g.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="yjlfKG9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yjlfKG9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="CjOHmPs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CjOHmPs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 6: #1 Contender For SWF Heavyweight Championship Angry Gilmore vs Rogue vs Brandon James vs Valiant</p><p> The match the everybody was waiting for did not disappoint.

Welcome everybody to the first recap of 2016 with yours truly Bryan Johnson! This week’s Supreme TV was actually pretty good. While it was extremely predictable, with the same main guys being featured, we saw some interesting developments. Sammy Smoke may finally be getting a small push after almost completely being forgotten about as he has some alliance with Joey Sexy and matching ring gear to boot. Another interesting development is Eric looking for a protege, with there being so many possibilities in RIPW it could be anybody, comment down below with who you think it may be! The bad of this weeks TV, it seems the same old no risk episode that we are growing accustomed to with SWF. Same guy, not really pushing new talent, and the main event scene that is EXTREMELY stale. Again for some reason Hollywood Bret Starr, Steven Parker, and Jimmy Hernandez were not featured, why SWF signed them up and refuses to push them is beyond me. At least Mikey is getting some attention even if it was in a wasted match with Everest. It will be interesting to see where they go with him injuring Everest. Before we get to next week’s predictions lets recap some of the biggest SWF news of the week. SWF announced that they have signed Greg Gauge, Davis Wayne Newton, Kirk Jameson, Ernest Youngman, Ash Campbell, Nelson Callum, Donnie J, and Roger Cage to multiple year deals. This is a huge blow to the indy scene and is scaring a lot of fans as SWF has a track record of wasting good indy talent. Maybe for once SWF will hold true to their promise and feature the young guys on Uprising to help build their stock. Also the signing of Donnie J has me wonder if we will finally see the breakup of The Platinum Blondes and the reunion of The Fly Boys. Lord knows that the Platinum Blondes have not been doing anything good for quite some time. Now let’s look at next week’s Supreme TV schedule! </p><p> </p><p>

Match 1: The Crippler vs Oliver Kobb</p><p>

Match 2: NA Championship - Joey Morgan © vs Lassana Makutsi</p><p>

Match 3: Mikey Lau vs Monty Trescarde</p><p>

Match 4: Hollywood Bret Starr vs Brett Biggins</p><p>

Match 5: Hero Squad vs Platinum Blondes</p><p>

This week’s Supreme TV was actually pretty good. While it was extremely predictable, with the same main guys being featured, we saw some interesting developments. Sammy Smoke may finally be getting a small push after almost completely being forgotten about as he has some alliance with Joey Sexy and matching ring gear to boot. Another interesting development is Eric looking for a protege, with there being so many possibilities in RIPW it could be anybody, comment down below with who you think it may be! The bad of this weeks TV, it seems the same old no risk episode that we are growing accustomed to with SWF. Same guy, not really pushing new talent, and the main event scene that is EXTREMELY stale. Again for some reason Hollywood Bret Starr, Steven Parker, and Jimmy Hernandez were not featured, why SWF signed them up and refuses to push them is beyond me. At least Mikey is getting some attention even if it was in a wasted match with Everest. It will be interesting to see where they go with him injuring Everest. Before we get to next week’s predictions lets recap some of the biggest SWF news of the week. SWF announced that they have signed Greg Gauge, Davis Wayne Newton, Kirk Jameson, Ernest Youngman, Ash Campbell, Nelson Callum, Donnie J, and Roger Cage to multiple year deals. This is a huge blow to the indy scene and is scaring a lot of fans as SWF has a track record of wasting good indy talent. Maybe for once SWF will hold true to their promise and feature the young guys on Uprising to help build their stock. Also the signing of Donnie J has me wonder if we will finally see the breakup of The Platinum Blondes and the reunion of The Fly Boys. Lord knows that the Platinum Blondes have not been doing anything good for quite some time. Now let’s look at next week’s Supreme TV schedule! </p><p> </p><p> Match 1: The Crippler vs Oliver Kobb</p><p> Match 2: NA Championship - Joey Morgan © vs Lassana Makutsi</p><p> Match 3: Mikey Lau vs Monty Trescarde</p><p> Match 4: Hollywood Bret Starr vs Brett Biggins</p><p> Match 5: Hero Squad vs Platinum Blondes</p><p> Match 6: Joe Sexy and Sammy (Smoke?) vs Two Jobbers</p><p> Match 7: Huey Cannonball vs Zimmy Bumfhole</p><p> Match 8: Brandon James and Rogue vs Valiant and Angry Gilmore</p><p> </p><p> Don’t forget to comment down below in the comment section who you think will answer the NA Open Challenge.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> That's a lot of signings!

Nothing real new here, but at least SWF is giving Krissy some solid promo work. Brandon looked good, and said minimal (which is usually best as his mic skills aren’t the best). While Krissy looks good on the mic, her promo’s about giving Brandon what he deserves are getting old in SWF and I would like to see a shake up. Unsurprisingly Valiant and Hannah interrupted and talked about their recent battles and how Valiant is more deserving. I was pleasantly surprised by Valiant’s mic work, while he has always been pretty good, just not great, really outshone himself and seems to have a renewed confidence in himself, his mic work has definitely gotten better. Then to the shock of nobody Jerry comes out and books a tag team match for tonight's main event, and a #1 Contender’s match at When Hell Freezes Over between Brandon and Valiant. </p><p>

<strong>Match 1: The Crippler vs Oliver Kobb </strong></p><p>

Nothing to really write home about, Oliver Kobb had minimal offense, but The Crippler looked good in toying with Oliver. While Oliver may have gotten in minimal offense, and nobody expected him to win, the crowd, surprisingly, was excited when Oliver did hit some offense. Luckily the match didn’t drag on, and the Crippler put Oliver Kobb away in 6:04 with a Tombstone Piledriver </p><p>

After the match, The Crippler grabbed a mic and cut a good, but otherwise lackluster promo about what he did to Jack. The story is too hot for Crippler to carry on his own, and it is suffering from Jack not being around. Hopefully, this story will end at When Hell Freezes over, as the fans are souring on the repetition from The Crippler.</p><p>

Joey did his usually open challenge and the fans did seem excited to see who was coming out. Shockingly, SWF let Lassanna talk on the mic before the match. It was clear that he while he is nowhere in the league of Joey, on the mic, he did decent enough for his first time on a big stage. </p><p>

<strong>Match 2: NA Championship - Joey Morgan © vs Lassana Makutsi</strong></p><p>

These matches are fun and a good change of pace for SWF as they have not been the best at featuring their RIPW talent. While the ending of the match was never really in question, Joey did a good job of selling Lassana’s offense, and there were a few near falls. Joey really has found his calling in making others look good without sacrificing his credibility. I personally would have liked the match to go on a little longer, but it ended in 8:08 when Joey hit Lassana with an Empire Spiral for the pinfall victory. Joey Morgandefensedefence number 3 of his SWF North American title. </p><p>

<strong>Match 3: Mikey Lau vs Monty Trescarde</strong></p><p>

Another match that was nothing to write home about, two talent that had promise in the indies and were touted as big signings and neither has done much. It does excite me, and most of the internet, that Mikey is getting some attention on TV with his new injury storyline, it just sucks that Monty has to be a victim. Hopefully Monty can somehow stay in this storyline, as the kid has some potential. The match ended relatively quickly when the ref stopped the match at 4:28 after Mikey hit a Scything Side Kick and Monty could not continue. </p><p>

A nice hype video featuring the long lost Steven Parker and Jimmy Hernandez. It’s a nice change of pace to see SWF finally doing something with them, and now I see why they have been absent from recent weeks. It sees that SWF management is high on them, as they both have been repackaged and given a manager and an official tag name. While The Rebel Cell does not really excite me, the fans seem happy to know that Steven and Jimmy are on their way back.</p><p>

SWF must have gotten a new creative team to book some of the show, as they featured another highly touted signing finally in Hollywood Bret Star. They even let him cut a promo about his lack of being featured. While I am betting it was scripted, there definitely seems to be some real emotion in frustration in his promo. The fans were really booing Hollywood and the angle was going in the right direction, before SWF killed the angle by sending out Brett Biggins to cut his own promo. Now don’t get me wrong Brett is a legend in the tag team realm, but he was clearly out of his league, and nobody in their right mind things Biggins has a chance of winning. Biggins’ appearance really soured an otherwise good promo by Hollywood. </p><p>

<strong>Match 4: Hollywood Bret Starr vs Brett Biggins</strong></p><p>

The match had some decent back and forth, the crowd really didn’t seem to care much. Just like the promo that led to this match, the insertion of Biggins didn’t do much but to give Hollywood some air time and a win. I really think Hollywood has a long, storied career ahead of him, this is not how you get fans to be interested in him. But hey, I guess it’s better than not having a match. The match ended in 6:09 when Hollywood Bret Starr defeated Brett Biggins by pinfall with a Hollywood Hammer.</p><p>

<strong>Match 5: Hero Squad vs Platinum Blondes</strong></p><p>

For two poorly used tag teams, as of late, they put on a pretty good showing. Both teams displayed good offense, and Hero Squad got the crowd to their feet with their high impact offense. Captain Atomic in particular looked excellent out their, really showing off his strength. In a rare swirve (for SWF) Platinum Blondes actually picked up the win when Frederique Garcia defeated Jungle Lord by pinfall with a Romeo Is Bleeding.</p><p>

A continuation of Eric’s interesting story of wanting to find a protege. While the RIPW talent really brought this segment down, as none of them are that well known, or that good on the mic, Eric really looked great. Eric’s smug, narcissistic self was the only thing that saved this segment from bombing. It was nice seeing some more RIPW talent get a chance to do some talking on Supreme TV! though. </p><p>

Joe Sexy never disappoints with his creepy, borderline perverted self. He debuted Sammy Smoke as Sammy Sexy and their new tag team name - The Ravishing Sexies. Sammy gave a little promo, while it wasn’t that good, he looked more comfortable than one would expect from somebody who is seldom on TV, let alone promo time. The segment was short, but it accomplished what it needed to without overstaying its welcome. </p><p>

<strong>Match 6: Ravishing Sexies vs Two Jobbers</strong></p><p>

Safe, but again unsurprising route for the new team of Ravishing Sexies as they took on two local enhancement talents. I am a little disappointed that so many matches on Supreme had minimal suspense, I guess I get why they did this. Sammy desperately needed to look good, as it seems SWF is high on him and has hopes that he can take over for the aging Joe Sexy. The match itself sucked, the crowd wasn’t really into it, but Sammy did come out looking pretty good. He also did the bulk of the wrestling, as Joe has been showing his age in the ring. Sammy ended the match, that went on WAY too long, in 8:21 with an Ace in The Hole. You know a match isn’t that good when Joe Sexy “carried’ the performance.</p><p>

<strong>Match 7: Huey Cannonball vs Zimmy Bumfhole</strong></p><p>

A decent match as both competitors utilize a fast-paced, action oriented offense that usually leaves, the fans begging for more. Unfortunately while this match was good, it wasn’t up to the heat of their storyline and that made it suffer some. The “creepy” fan that kissed Jefferson was not with them this week so I am not sure what that was about, but Jefferson and Randy both made their presence felt throughout the match, moreso Jefferson. After some good back and forth, Zimmy was able to connect with a Bumfhole in One to score a pinfall victory over Huey in 8:27.</p><p>

And I guess I spoke too soon, the random “creepy” fan from last week made her presence felt when she grabbed Randy and kissed him. Which served as a distraction that let the Awesomeness take out Zimmy two-on-one. Once the fan let go of Randy, he realized what happened, but the Awesomeness made quick work of him, leaving the Bumfholes both out. Jefferson went over to the fan and helped her over the barricade before making their way to the back, as the Awesomness and the female fan were laughing at the Bumfholes. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Match 8: Brandon James and Rogue vs Valiant and Angry Gilmore</strong></p><p>

Even though these fans have fought so many times, and we continue to see these same type of match-ups I, as well as many of the fans, were pretty excited for this match. These four guys always seem to put on a good show. This was a hard-fought, brawl heavy match. Each worker got their big spots, and everybody looked great. James and Rogue reminded everybody that they know how to work together and be an effective team. Despite their superior teamwork, Angry was able to pick up the pinfall over Rogue in 16:07 following an Anger Management.</p><p>

Wow, I was really hoping SWF would do something different, but they never fail to disappoint and continue to do the same thing with Remo rushing the ring and destroying everybody to end the show. To be fair, this time Brandon did not escape so I guess that is progress haha. </p><p>

Hello and thank you for logging on to the WrestlingReport with yours truly, Bryan Johnson. Before we get to the lackluster show of Supreme from this past Tuesday let’s talk some more big news from SWF. SWF released news that they have come to terms with the signing of Yoshinaka Taku, Razan Okamoto, Samoan Destruction (The Brisbane Devil & King Malietoa), and Konrad Mäkinen. All these new signing will be reporting to RIPW within the next week or so. SWF has been on a massive hiring spree lately, and they have yet to announce their plans for all these signing. I am worried that they will just get stuck in developmental hell and never have a good run on the roster. Hopefully I am wrong, but only time will tell. Now let’s quickly recap what went right on this past Supreme TV! SWF continues to use the same ole booking strategies and I think the fans are starting to turn on them. I mean, it’s always the same few guys featured in the main event and on the promos WIth that said, I do like that SWF appears to be trying to give some previously unused talent some screen time; mainly Sammy Smoke, Rebel Cell, and Mikey James Hopefully they have plans for Hollywood, as he is too good to be stuck doing work with Biggins, but I won't hold my breath as he is not currently advertised for a match-up. Despite this he has been vocal on Twitter demanding a match-up so we will see, let me know down below if you think he will have a match, and if so against who? I am also really liking the open North American Title Challenge. Overall, this show wasn’t their best effort, and a pretty lackluster go-home show before When Hell Freezes over. SWF promises to deliver some big matches, but again its nothing super new. Well for me the only really interesting development that will come from this PPV is a new #1 tag team contender, and seeing who is Eric’s protege. SWF did not release all the workers that will be in there yet, but hopefully there will be some surprises. So leave me a comment down below letting me know who you think will become Eric’s new protege.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Just a quick update I do want to continue to work on this diary I have just been having some issues. A big thanks to Historian, Dark_Raider, and King Bison for encouragement and support. I have a lot of plans for this diary, and I just need to learn to pace out my plans as I tend to jump the gun. This diary hit a huge roadblock when I lost my notebook that had my 6 months worth of plans laid out... However, I plan to pick this diary up very soon and work on updating it again.

Always a pain when losing notes and such. I had the same thing happen to me several times and sadly it usually always resulted in me ditching a diary and going elsewhere. Good luck getting rolling again and looking forward to see what you do.

It was nice to see Sammy Sexy get so much offense in since he has soon often been underutilized. It was a bit suprising that they gave the win to Joe Sexy. Thankfully the match did not overstay it’s welcome and Joe put away Robbie in 10:28 following a One Night Stand.</p><p> Rating: 62</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="xZPwfkE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xZPwfkE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="i8CVDND.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/i8CVDND.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 3: <strong>John Greed</strong> vs Marshall Dillon</p><p> Another SWF special a random thrown together match to get two workers on PPV.

I mean I know most of the workers are rarely ever featured on Supreme TV! (they are all in RIPW), but how can you get a crowd behind people when you only give them 10 minutes! The best part of the match was when the crowd actually cheered for Deever Arnolds elimination and chanted “Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye!” I will say the ending was a huge shock. The IWC, and myself included, all pegged Dominic DeSousa to win this, but the final four came down to Lenny Brown, Lassana Makutsi, High Flyin Hawaiian, and Ekuma. Lenny Brown won the match after he eliminated Lassana, Ekuma was a monster throughout the match and eliminated the most (6 people in total).</p><p> Rating: 37 </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="pREJQb3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pREJQb3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GKJn3q0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GKJn3q0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Another throw away angle, but at least it got Hollywood Bret Starr on the card. He did a good job of reminding the fans of his pedigree and his family tradition. Blaming the higher ups for holding him down because they know he will show up their current wrestlers, like they did to his grandfather when they brought in Sam Strong. Bret promises he will not be an after though like his grandfather became!

Bret played the arrogant, opportunist heel to perfection. He constantly would slide out of the ring and try to use his speed and keep shots to his advantage. While Skull was, well Skull and used his powerful, slow offense to overwhelm Bret. Hollywood got a little cocky when he caught Skull off guard, and paid for it by eating a Skull Krusher by Skull for the pin and win. Although Bret lost he did a good job of establishing himself and not looking out of his league. Let’s hope this is the start of something new for Bret.</p><p> Rating: 75</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="GPkysRQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GPkysRQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IcnkK0P.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IcnkK0P.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="wn02Xb6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wn02Xb6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="KopsHqq.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KopsHqq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="fc6Bli5.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/fc6Bli5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="t0liBfC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/t0liBfC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 7: #1 Contender Match: Hero Squad vs <strong>Platinum Blondes</strong> vs Pain Alliance</p><p> I give SWF credit that they let this match go on for 16:04 and the shocker that again I don’t think anybody saw coming. I really put money on the fact that The Hero Squad was going to win. All three teams got in good offense and there were several near falls. For most of the match it would be conceivable for any team to win. However, it was the often overlooked Platinum Blondes that nabbed the win here after eliminating The Pain Alliance first, then the Hero Squad. Now I bet that means the Awesomeness will be switched to faces which I think is a horrible idea.</p><p> Rating: 71</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="GPkysRQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GPkysRQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IcnkK0P.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IcnkK0P.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> After the match we see Captain Atomic and Jungle Lord arguing as they make their way to the back, well we all know what is coming soon, but I wonder who it will be.</p><p> Rating: 61</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="nGjCZYo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nGjCZYo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="yjlfKG9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yjlfKG9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> w/<img alt="HuOslcP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HuOslcP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="7Iw4Vqo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7Iw4Vqo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> w/<img alt="tDWcUJN.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tDWcUJN.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Match 8: Brandon James vs <strong>Valiant</strong></p><p> A pretty good match, but I felt was slightly lackluster.

I was surprised that they let Gilmore get so much offense in, but it only added to the monster that is Remo, as no matter what Gilmore threw at him, it never was enough to keep Remo down for long. Towards the end, a worn out Gilmore was simply not strong enough to overcome Remo, who looked as fresh as he did when he started. Remo put Gilmore away in 19:42 by pinfall with The Destroyer.

Thanks for tuning in to yours truly Bryan Johnson. A quick update on some more news from the SWF front. SWF has signed up indy sensation Babua and USPW's Atlas. They both will be reporting to RIPW in the next couple of weeks. Babua is an interesting choice for SWF as he does not fit their mold, and he is a cruiserweight, which we have seen in the past they are completely incapable of using. Atlas was with SWF in development hell before and then in USPW both times he did not amount to much, but the rumors I am hearing is that Atlas will be returning to his old indy name of John Nash so maybe they actually have something planned for him. Let's hope Supreme TV! will capitalize on When Hell Freezes over and actually use some of the talents that have been underutilized for so long. Also, fresh off the dirt sheets industry insiders and respected names have named both Robbie Retro and Marshall Dillon as future stars and they believe they both could be huge breakout stars in the next few years, but I doubt it will happen because they are both employed at SWF and they love wasting potential.

Remo opens the show talks about having no real threat in SWF, unsurprisingly Valiant answers the challenge. Before he can get too far into his own “speech,” none other than the predictable and boredline “superman” Jack Bruce makes his presence felt to also lay down the challenge. In predictable SWF fashion Jerry makes the main event match between Jack Bruce and Valiant for the number one contender, because why not? </p><p>

Match 1: The Debuting Rebel Cell vs Local talent</p><p>

While I wish Rebel Cell got to debut facing an established team, it was still nice to finally see SWF doing something with Jimmy and Steven. And despite their “rebel” gimmick they appear to be a face team so no clue how they are going to pull that off. The addition of Haley, as their manager, seems pointless but I will give SWF the benefit of the doubt, though they tend to do nothing with managers since Emma’s move to the commentary desk. Rebel Cell controlled most of the match, and were able to show the audience all their signature moves before Jimmy finished off the local talent with an Apparition #14 (horrible name) to win by pinfall in 8:07.</p><p> </p><p>

This angle was definitely held down by Lenny Brown’s mic work as he is nowhere near the level of Eric, but given his minimal time on TV it was nice that SWF trusted him to be on the mic. Eric talked about how his hand picked protege will be the next big thing and all that. </p><p>

Match 5: John Greed vs Robbie Retro</p><p>

A standard match while wasn’t bad, wasn’t anything special. I think the biggest problem with these two guys is that they have been so under used by SWF it is hard for the fans to get behind them. Plus, a match with no build up or storyline is hard for the fans to get behind. The match ended when John Greed defeated Robbie Retro in 7:45 by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage.</p><p>

I’m pleasantly surprised to see that the previous match may potentially lead to something as John talks about feeling the darkness in Robbie and promised that once Robbie embraced the darkness his true potential would be found. The crowd is still not overly sold on John, but he is good on the mic and I think once he gets a little more over with the fans this storyline will take off. Though I am not sure I am sold on Robbie Retro being anything other than a goofy disco-wannabe. </p><p>

Match 6: Jack Bruce vs Valiant</p><p>

While this match won’t be earning any year end awards, it was a good match that had the crowd cheering and into the whole match. Both Valiant and Jack looked strong and gave a great performance. The match was slightly hurt by both Valiant and Jack both being faces, but the #1 Heavyweight Contender being on the line helped lift the match importance. The ending was a surprise but ultimately took away from the overall feeling of the match when Rogue interferred and struck Jack behind the refs back. This set Jack up for Valiant (who had no idea Rogue was at ringside) to hit the V-Split for the pin and a huge win.</p><p>

A predictable and rather lackluster start to another episode of Supreme TV! Jack comes out to talk about his loss to Valiant and how Rogue costed him his chance for another title win. Rogue soon joins in and talks about how Jack is washed up and how he is tired of Jack always getting favored treatment. Rogue says that Jack isn’t man enough anymore and he has no chance on beating Remo, and Rogue wants to show the world Jack’s decline. Valiant comes out and offers Jack a rematch, because why wouldn’t he. Then Remo matches his presences known and says he will kick all their asses anytime. So what do you think happened, Jerry books a main event tag team match between Jack and Valiant vs Remo and Rogue. </p><p>

Match 2: Huey Cannonball vs James Prudence</p><p>

This was actually a decent match that showed both of these guys aren’t just tag team wrestlers. While the crowd wasn’t overly into the match, partly because SWF does such a poor job at booking non-ME talent, they weren't totally dead either. Both James and Huey got a chance to shine throughout the match. Per some weird stipulation that was never announced neither Jefferson or Frederique were at ring side, which made no sense until towards the end of the match. A masked man dressed in Platinum Blonde-type attire jumped the barricade and caused a distraction by first jumping on the apron then arguing with Emmy. This momentary distraction was all James needed to loc his Prudential Pain Plan in place and tap out Huey for the win in 11:55.</p><p>

Match 3 Joey Morgan © vs Konrad Mäkinen</p><p>

The crowd wasn’t too sure of who Konrad was, but the wrestling smarks know he is a talented worker from the Europe scene. His lack of overrness hurt the match slightly, but Joey made sure Konrad looked good, and despite Konrad losing, he came out looking good and was able to showcase his offense. The match went on surprisingly longer than expected and ended in 10:21 by pinfall following an Empire Spiral. Joey Morgan makes defence number 6 of his SWF North American title. </p><p>

Eric comes out with his new protege, Lenny Brown, and hypes the in-ring debut of his protege. The segment was okay, as Lenny is getting more comfortable and over as a worker, but it made little sense as Lenny already wrestled in a battle royale no long ago. Whatever, SWF often doesn’t make much sense. Eric did the best he could do with what he had I guess. And I can’t complain when SWF is actually pushing new talent so.</p><p>

Match 4: Jungle Lord vs Lenny Brown</p><p>

While the ending was never truly in doubt, I was initially kind of shocked when Jungle Lord was announced as Lenny’s opponent, but I guess it kind of made sense when The Hero Squad is going through their obvious break-up storyline. The match was nothing special as the fans seemed to care little. Inside the ring both Lenny and Jungle Lord did a good job of matching the match watchable. Jungle Lord is definitely slowing down in his advanced age, but the short match afforded him the luxury to use his high-energy offense slightly more than usual. The ending came when Eric grabbed Jungle Lords foot which caused him to take his eyes off of Lenny Brown. Lenny capitalized and hit a Star Treatment on the distracted Jungle Lord for the pin and the win in 8:02.</p><p>

After the match Eric celebrated like Lenny won the Heavyweight Championship, while Jungle Lord and Captain Atomic argued at ringside. It was interesting to see Jungle Lord be the more “aggressive” one in the argument though, as he pushed Captain Atomic afterwards and walked to the back by himself.</p><p>

After the commercial break we were treated to an episode of Sexy Time hosted by Joe and Sammy Sexy featuring Mikey Lau. The Ravishing Sexies talked about Mikey’s dangerous style and how he feels about hurting all those people. Before long Squeeky and the Pain Alliance made their way to the ring. What was annoying was that Monty was nowhere to be found. A 3 on 1 attack ensued (Squeeky and PA) before the Rebel Cell made the save on behalf of Mikey.</p><p>

Match 5: Robbie Retro vs Hollywood Bret Starr</p><p>

Another decent match that had no build-up. While the match itself was nothing special, it was Robbie Retro’s appearance at ringside and constant tormenting of Robbie Retro that took center stage. I think this hurt the overall quality of the match, as it was more about John and Robbie then about Bret and Robbie. The match ended when Hollywood took advantage of Robbie’s lack of focus and hit a Hollywood Hammer for the pin and win in 8:20.</p><p>

Match 6: Jack Bruce and Valiant w/Hannah vs Rogue and Remo</p><p>

For Supreme this was an exceptional match that saw all four competitors really give it their all. While Remo continued to look the most dangerous, it was the surprising chemistry of Jack and Valiant that helped them keep Remo at bay for most of the match. Rogue took the majority of the beatings from the good guys and the match ended when Valiant hit Rogue with a V-Split for the win in 16:11. It was a little surprising to see Remo’s team lose, but he didn’t take the pinfall and looked like a beast throughout so I doubt it will hurt him at all.</p><p>

The show ended the same way so many of Supreme TVs show end with an all out brawl between Jack, Valiant, Remo, and Rogue. Per the usual Remo ended the show standing tall.</p><p>

Welcome back fans for our monthly recap of all things wrestling. The first month of the year has been a rather lackluster month for wrestling, with nothing too big happening around the world. Before we jump to focus on SWF, if you want to see what’s going on around the world check out my run downs of USPW, TCW, SOTBPW, NOTBPW, BHOTWG, WLW, and PRIDE updates. Now SWF continues to run status quo with storylines and match-ups, but have started to take some gambles with their midcard and trying to feature some workers. SWF has made some huge signings, but they have yet to announce their plans for them. Uprising starts this Saturday (Feb. Wk1) with again no information about its purpose, my guess is to feature all the signings to help get the more casual fans to know who they are. </p><p> </p><p>

So after talking with some friends it seems wrestling insiders and veterans alike have pegged Sammy Sexy (formally Sammy Smoke) as a future star. I can only assume that his new name and booking have reminded everybody what he is capable of. He continues to grow into his role as Sammy Sexy and is slowing becoming more comfortable on the mic, something that will continue to grow as he gets to team up with Joe, who is very underrated on the mic. Hopefully SWF continues with Sexy Time and giving Sammy more opportunities to be featured on the mic. </p><p> </p><p>

Overall, SWF’s ratings both When Hell Freezes Over and Supreme TV have not been the best, with Jan. Week 3 being the worst rated Supreme TV in a long time, they were able to squeak a win out in the national battles against USPW and TCW. I really attribute this win to the hype of the Supreme Network launching and the massive amounts of signings they have done. If you are curious how USPW and TCW have been doing be sure to clink on their links where I break them down . Make sure you check back in for weekly show and PPV breakdowns. Now we can only hope for a better month from SWF, and hopefully some new information about all their signings here soon. </p><p>

Show Rating: 80 - increase in 3

TV Viewers: 7.8 mil

TV Rating: 10.40

 

The show opens with a recap from last week’s main event. Not really original, but I guess SWF thought we needed to be reminded of the way last week ended, I mean it was so original with a 4 man brawl and all that.

Rating: 87

Match: Brandon James vs Local Talent

This match wasn’t about the match at all, it was to remind fans that Brandon is a monster because his momentum sucks lately, so SWF’s best way to remind fans, have him squash jobbers in under 4 minutes two weeks in a row. Not much to say, Brandon dominated and toyed with the smaller worker the enture time, as Krissy yelled and flaunted at ringside, reminding fans that she is hot and Brandon is great. The match ended in 3:33 by pinfall following a Brandon Bomb Drop.

Rating: 55

 

 

Just like last week Brandon continues to beat down the jobber after the match. When the ref tries to stop it, it’s Krissy who slaps the ref and pushes him aside. Krissy continues to yell about respect and title matches for Brandon, even though he lost like every big match recently. The beatings finally stopped when an all too familiar music hit the sound system and the crowd went nuts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angry Gilmore hit the ring like an animal, but Brandon and Krissy bailed before Gilmore could cause any damage. Brandon and Krissy made their way to the back smirking as Krissy yelled about “on their terms.” Which makes no sense, I mean Brandon was shown to be a monster, then in the next breath is shown retreating from Gilmore… Great booking SWF.

Rating:89

 

 

vs

Match 2: Robbie Retro vs Bear Bekowski

In a boring, poor match that the crowd more than likely used as a bathroom break, was again more about John Greed at ringside taunting Robbie about embracing the darkness or some nonesense. While this match could have went either way, but with John’s constantly distractions, Bear was able to lock in the Bear trap for a submission win in 7:48.

Rating: 57

 

 

After the match John attacked Robbie again before grabbing a mic and talking about embracing the darkness in order to unlock his full potential. This segments are growing on me and the crowd it seems. While the direction of this seems to forever be in the midcard and not get over, at least SWF is trying to do something with some of the wrestlers that aren’t the main eventers.

Rating: 60

 

 

Tabitha Interviews the Hero Squad about their recent issues. They both assure Tabitha they are on the same page. Nothing special here really, while Captain Atomic looked good on the mic, Tabitha and Jungle Lord both did not look so good. Another storyline that is destined to go nowhere after their split, at least SWF is trying to keep the fans guessing about who is going to turn.

Rating: 51

 

 

vs w/

Match 3: Donnie J vs Jefferson Stardust

Despite Donnie J being relatively unknown to the vast majority of the audience and him and Jefferson just simply not clicking, this was a decent match. Jefferson really shown in this match and I could see SWF pushing him as a single’s star sooner rather than later. Despite the match getting a solid 10 minutes, it overstayed its welcome as James, Frederique, Huey, and Emmy either tried to get involved or argued at ringside, which really took away from the match. The match ended in a DQ win for Jefferson when James Prudence got involved.

Rating: 55

 

Before Frederique could get in the ring, Huey attacked him from behind and threw him into the barricade. Heuy hit the ring and started to take out both James and Donnie, that was until another masked Platinum Blonde came running to the ring and played the number games until the Platinum Blondes were in firm control. Like before, after the attack they removed the masked to reveal…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roger Cage as the newest member of the Platinum Blondes! I was completely shocked by this debut. While a lot of the crowd probably doesn’t know his work, he is a solid worker and a great entertainer. I really hope that they do not waste Roger Cage like they are so known for.

Rating: 68

 

 

Joey comes out for another open challenge. Nothing special but another solid performance by Joey. The crowd was practically on their feet to see who would challenge Joey this time.

Match 5: North American Title Joey Morgan © vs Robbie Wright

I bet Sam Keith and all the MAW fans were freaking out when Robbie Wright made his debut. Joey always does a great job at making others look good and the fans believe that he may actually lose. Again the ending was never in doubt, but it is still refreshing to see RIPW get some attention and not just get destroyed. Robbie has a bright future, and if his RIPW mic work is any indication he can hold his own if given the chance. The match ended in 9:49 when Joey connected with an Empire Spiral for the pinfall victory. Joey Morgan makes defence number 7 of his SWF North American title.

Rating: 59

 

 

After the match The Crippler attacks Joey as he stands on the entrance ramp. The Crippler reminded everybody of his name and targeted Joey’s left leg almost exclusively. The Crippler really needed to look strong after his loss to Jack, and I really think this segment did it for him. The crowd was booing like crazy. The show went to commercial break with medics attending to Joey and the Crippler standing back watching and smiling.

Rating: 82

 

 

Squeeky and Monty call out Mikey and tell him about the pending lawsuit to ban his Scything Kick due to it injuring him and so many other workers. Before Mikey can respond The Pain Alliance attack Mikey from behind. Unsurprisingly Rebel Cell makes the save. This segment wasn’t anything special but served its purpose of moving the storyline along. Monty continues to struggle on the mic and looks out of his league compared to Squeeky. While the angle won’t set the world on fire, it is nice to see SWF continuing to give other workers some TV (and mic) time.

Rating: 66

Match 6: Eric Eisen and Lenny Brown vs The Hero Squad

Another decent match saw Eric and Leny team up for the first time. Despite it being their first time Eric and Lenny actually looked pretty good together. I mean they aren’t the Bumfholes or anything, but they proved to be able to work together. Lenny definitely looked slightly out of his league against the Hero Squad, but it was Eric who really stood out above the others. I do think trying to mash two stories together slightly hurt the match as it was about Eric and Lenny’s team up, but also about the fallout of the Hero Squad. The matched ended after the Hero Squad missed a cue and had a brief argument which enabled Lenny to tag in the fresher Eric. Eric proceeded to hit The Supremacy on Jungle Lord for the pinfall victory in 10:16.

Rating: 67

 

 

Predictable storytelling is SWF’s trademark, so the Hero Squad continued to argue after the match. Jungle Lord pushed Captain Atomic and started to storm off. Captain Atomic appeared to try to calm Jungle Lord down as he quickly followed. I really feel that SWF is going to turn Jungle Lord into a bitter veteran, I think of the two Jungle Lord needs to freshen up his character a little more and do something different. That would enable Captain Atomic to keep his character (which kids love and sells a decent amount of merc) while also letting him freshen up. Plus I could see Captain Atomic starting a Superhero Stable like Lobster Warriors Underwater Union.

Rating: 61

Match 7: #1 Contender Match - Jack Bruce vs Valiant vs Rogue

The final match of the night was a pretty good match for SWF standards. Jack looked dominate throughout the match, and him and Rogue often went toe-to-toe. While Valiant and Jack never quite teamed up to eliminate Rogue completely from the match, Valiant did seem to want to get Rogue out of the way to focus on Jack. I mean Valiant is pure, boring babyface, but he showed hints of wanting to prove himself by squaring off against Jack more than Rogue. The match ended when Valiant hit Rogue with a V-Split for the pinfall victory in 16:27. I am happy to actually see Valiant win instead of the boring Jack vs Remo feud that we all expected. I am shocked that SWF had Jack lose, but at least he looked strong throughout and he wasn’t pinned.

Valiant starts the show off talking about his #1 Contender win, before long, a monkey could have guessed this, Jack Bruce interrupts and talks about how he wasn’t pinned. Then Rogue comes out to taunt Jack, then Brandon and Krissy demanding a #1 Contender match, and finally Remo comes out and says he will fight them all right now. Then, you guessed it, Jerry comes out to “settle” things down and books….shocker a 3v3 main event Valiant, Jack, and Angry Gilmore (the only one who didn’t come out) vs Remo, Rogue, and Brandon James. While the angle was predictable, everybody, except Jerry (who is boring and not bad on the mic) did a great job getting the crowd hyped up to open the show. </p><p>

Match 1: The Crippler vs Marshall Dillon</p><p>

An actual decent match that showcased The Crippler’s vicious streak, while also showing the tenacity and strength of Marshall Dillon. It’s a shame that Marshall is such an afterthought as he really has potential that is just not being used. The Crippler looked deadly as ever constantly targetting Marshall’s legs and neck throughout the bout. I think this could have been an even better match if it was given more time to shine, but nonetheless it was solid. The match ended in victory for the Crippler in 9:45 by pinfall following a Tombstone Piledriver. </p><p>

The forgotten Hollywood Bret Starr comes out and complains about not having a match tonight or at Nothing to Lose He says he isn’t leaving until he has a match. He promises he will not be overlooked anymore. And then SWF does the dumbest, laziest booking possible and sends out Brett Biggins. I mean you have got to be kidding me, they just had a match last month that sucked. Thankfully this time they did not give Biggins a mic. Other than the horrible opponent reveal, Hollywood did a great job on the mic for somebody who is so rarely featured.</p><p>

If you want to know how this match went go look back at my review from Supreme TV Jan. Wk 2 as it was basically the same match with the same outcome. Spoiler alert it wasn’t that good. Hollywood Bret Starr defeated Brett Biggins in 12:08 by pinfall with a Hollywood Hammer.</p><p>

Match 3: American Machine vs Sammy Sexy</p><p>

Another decent match from the midcard, unfortunately the crowd wasn’t super into the match. Another match that was hindered by the outside action as Joe Sexy repeatedly made his presence felt. What did help this match out was that Amerrican Machine and Sammy Sexy really clicked when working together. American Machine looked like he was about to win when Joe Sexy slid into the ring and attacked him from behind. This cased the ref to call the match and award American Machine the win by DQ in 10:10.</p><p>

A standard beatdown angle that helped bring more heat to Joe and Sammy Sexy. The problem I think was that the crowd actually cheered some when Joe and Sammy were attacking American Machine. Sammy is slowly getting over with the crowd and if this type of reaction keeps up SWF may need to rethink Sammy and Joe’s alignment. The beating continued until an unfamiliar song rang out.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Eric makes his way to the ring flanked by Lenny Brown. Lenny talks about the honor of being Eric’s protege and being his tag partner last week. Eric announces he has found a good test for Lenny to continue to show all the great things he has been learning from Eric. Lenny gets better each week on the mic, but still looks slightly lost, especially when his promos are with Eric.</p><p>

Match 4: Lenny Brown vs Local Talent</p><p>

Another poor match, but I will say Lenny continues to look better each week. This match went on entirely too long, but at least the crowd got to see Lenny in action and he was able to show off his moveset more. The ending was never in doubt and Lenny put away the local talent in 8:30 with The Star Treament for a pinfall victory.</p><p>

Match 5: The Awesomeness vs The Platinum Blondes (Donnie J and Roger Cage)</p><p>

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, The Awesomeness defeated The Platinum Blondes IV in 14:28 when Jefferson Stardust defeated Donnie J by pinfall with a Shock And Awe.</p><p>

Nothing really happened here so I am not sure why SWF did this segment but whatever. The Platinum Blondes tried to attack The Awesomeness, but with Emmy’s help The Awesomeness were able to escape and taunt the Platinum Blondes as they retreated up the entrance ramp with their titles.</p><p>

Match 6: Jack Bruce, Angry Gilmore, Valiant vs Remo, Rogue, and Brandon James</p><p>

As tired of seeing these six guys in the ME picture I will give them all credit here as all 6 guys put on a great match and the crowd was really into this match. Per usual SWF booking each guy got in their signature offense and the ending came when each worker hit their finishers on each other (SWF logic the ref did not call any DQs) before Remo hit the ring last and nailed Angry Gilmore with The Destroyer for the pinfall victory in 18:08. </p><p>
