It's a good place to teach young wrestlers how to work in front of a live crowd and learn from the veterans, myself included until I hang up the boots."</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="8OX0co0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8OX0co0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong>Joey Beauchamp, 37, EWA Head Trainer & Promo Coach</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> <em>"Growing up in Oxford with no trainers around was hard for me as an upcoming wrestler. People hear 'self taught' and instantly think 'unsafe' which, I'll be fair, is often the case. That's a big part of why I wanted to give back and provide young talent with the opportunity I never had, especially in the South East of Europe that's never really been a wrestling hotspot. People ask me about NGW, but I don't mind being away from the spotlight. I still get to wrestle in EWA and the lighter schedule means I can spend more time with Geena now that she's back from Canada. Hopefully we can settle down now, get married, have a family, you know?"</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="AhotWa7.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AhotWa7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong>Petter Eriksson, 35, Brawling & Power Trainer</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> <em>"I enjoy training the next generation.

NGW gave us a chance to be ourselves, both when performing and backstage. It's definately a safe space, Leon Harrison has always been open about that thing and even calls his finisher the PRIDE Driver, then there's Menace who's openly gay... I try to be equally unbiased when training the girls too;most dojos have preconceptions about how female wrestlers should look and act and talk, or they hold them to a lower standard than their male counterparts. Women like me, Geena and Etsuko have redefined women's wrestling with our work in NGW and I want to make sure we keep portraying women in that light."</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="53FnEYf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/53FnEYf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <img alt="NOlZWmz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NOlZWmz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>EWA Europa champion</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="EfcDrdW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/EfcDrdW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Hardcore Hernandez (4 Defenses)</strong></p><p> Previous champion: Mighty Mo (15 Defenses)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="a0nAIZx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/a0nAIZx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>EWA Female champion</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="mokJyn1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mokJyn1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Paula Edwards (15 Defenses)</strong></p><p> Previous champion: Darkness Cat (6 Defenses)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="pUSEyjo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pUSEyjo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pUSEyjo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pUSEyjo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>EWA Union champions</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="lR9LQdX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lR9LQdX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="xubMr0F.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xubMr0F.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Alberto Montero & Ryushi Ryusaki [f.k.a.

NGW Open Collective titles match

Ripper LeStat, Menace and Paolo Gandalfini © vs The Czars (Dovydas Vidmar, Igor Ivanoff and Ivan Ivanoff)

Gandalfini began in control of the match with some actual wrestling holds, only to get overwhelmed by the teamwork of the Ivanoff Brothers who double teamed him to change the complexion of the match. A desperation maneuver allowed for the tag to Menace, who took out the brothers and went one on one with Vidmar. A sneaky vodka bottle shot was enough to take the big man off his feet, but Menace collapsed to the outside of the ring and a pinfall couldn't be made. This only brought out Ripper LeStat's hardcore wrestling tendencies as he used the environment against Vidmar in their ringside brawl, but was tackled by Ivan Ivanoff and hit with a Russian Roulette onto the glass shards before the brothers dragged him into the ring for Vidmar to hit his own Bratva Bomb finisher and score the pin.

Winners AND NEW NGW Open Collective champions: The Czars (Dovydas Vidmar, Igor Ivanoff and Ivan Ivanoff)

 

Tag Team titles unification match

w

Double Dutch vs The Johanssons (with Signe Lytjohan)

The mere mismatch in size and power meant Double Dutch had to come into this bout with a game plan, which was exactly what they did. Using their size and speed advantage to avoid getting squashed, Van Heer and Van Bon also made the best of their experience to isolate Bam Bam and used quick tags to keep him guessing as they attacked from all angles to bring him down. Though it made for an exciting and suprisingly not-uneven match, this wasn't enough to also keep the massive Norwegian down long enough for a pin. Eventually, Bam Bam was able to make the tag to his much fresher brother, who assaulted the tired Cruiserweight champions and the finish saw the Johanssons hit them with stereo Northern Lights Bombs for a double pinfall.

Winners: The Johanssons

 

"Awesome" Wade Orson vs "Stone Cold Killer" Konrad Mäkinen

Though nothing was on the line for this match, Orson and Mäkinen still put on their best game face to deliver show-stealing performances and prove why they're considered two of NGW's most hopeful youngsters. A hard hitting, technical contest, this was full off rough suplexes and some intricate chain wrestling, peppered with stiff strikes in between. Neither man held back and both won fans over with their effort, resilience and fighting spirit, leading to a standing ovation for Orson who got the win as well as Mäkinen despite his loss.

Winner: Wade Orson

 

Geena the Warrior Princess vs Paula Edwards

This wasn't the first time Paula Edwards wrestled a match for NGW, but it was the first time she did wrestle such a high profile match on her own, carrying the EWA Female title with an impressive 15 defenses to her name. The massive bruiser was more than able to match Geena's intensity with her own freakish power, showcasing how much she's improved while wrestling for EWA. That was the story the match told as the evolved and upcoming Edwards clashed with the Hall of Famer, Geena's experience providing the edge that allowed her to walk away victorious but only after she had poured everything she had into this match to achieve that victory against a legitimately tough opponent.

Winner: Geena the Warrior Princess

 

Next up, it was time for the draft between NGW, still led by its Commissioner, Sebastian Krause, and NGW Proving Ground, which will be run by John Silver. Leon Harrison was also present to oversee the procedures and explained the rules, with brands alternating pick order between picks.

Krause and Harrison announce that a few more names, EWA call ups especially, will be making appearances in the immediate future, and return backstage.

 

Now left all alone, John Silver produces the all white mask of Captain Hero, meaning it's time to return it to the League of Heroes...

The League of Heroes comes out in full force, including Jeri Behr and Megumi Nakajima. Once in the ring, they point towards the entrance and out comes...

"Captain Hero" Stig Svensson!

Received with a hero's welcome, Svensson makes his way to the ring, accepts his old mask and motions for a microphone.

Svensson:"This is a big moment for me, even though it's the rest of the League and Christopher Lister especially who is responsible for the return of this mask... I have been absent training the next generation of heroes in EWA and let me tell you, there's some amazing talent in that company... But I've also been absent because I've been fighting a losing battle against an opponent no wrestler can defeat... time. Nelson Frye has been leading the League in my absence and I think it is now time for me to pass on not just the reins but also the mask, as tonight I announce my official retirement from the ring."

 

Starmageddon King of the Ring gamble match

for the right to face the NGW Heavyweight champion in the main event of End of the World in December

Marat Khoklov vs Champagne Lover

It is no secret that Khoklov has been busy leading the NGW Dojo while Champagne Lover has mostly been busy with promoting himself and his Lovers Lounge show, but when the bell rings it's like neither ever lost a single beat. With no ring rust apparent, Marat is his usual monstrous self, moving like no man his size should be able to, while Champagne Lover's wrestling is on point, a potent mix of Japanese-style precision strikes, high flying lucha libre moves and whatever technical aspect he can manage against a man with the size and power of Marat. This is largely a "what could have been" scenario for End of the World, had Lover never lost the title to Cornell, good enough to headline NGW's biggest pay per view events, for now however it is given just under fifteen minutes and with Lover pressed for time to win before the time limit, he falls to a Moscow Lariat just seconds before the time limit bell.

Winner: Marat Khoklov

 

NGW Heavyweight title match

"Alpha Male" Edward Cornell © vs "The Gentleman Grappler" Nelson Frye

Semi main event time and with more time to wrestle their match, Cornell and Frye have a chance to pace themselves and really build this fight from the ground up, a test of will, resilience and a very physical bout that pushes both men to their limits. Following Stig Svensson's words earlier, Frye seems torn between the momentum boost of being named the next Captain Hero and the burden of responsibilities and expectations that come with it, meaning he plays a lot to the crowd and fights with an added sense of urgency like he has something to prove. Cornell isn't shy about playing head games and taunting him throughout the match and even steals a win using Frye's trunks to secure a pinfall.

Winner: Edward Cornell

Edward Cornell makes defence number 2 of his NGW Heavyweight title

 

As soon as the title is handed to Cornell, he is attacked by a massive and muscular man in black clothes and a hood! The attacker beats down Cornell with ease and finally pulls back his hood to reveal himself as...

Beast Bantom!

 

NGW Women's title No Disqualification match

"The Gothic Grappler" Fusae Etsuko © vs Joanne "J-Ro" Rodriguez

There was never really any doubt that this match would be epic. The only question was how epic it would be, given the two competitor’s latest clash and the standard that Etsuko’s matches against Geena the Warrior Princess set. Somehow, the two women went above and beyond, delivering a true spectacle of a contest and one that will most definitely live forever on not just the hearts and minds of NGW fans who saw it, but also in the history books as one of the best matches to ever be wrestled inside an NGW ring. This match had it all, from storyline buildup and drama to intensity and pacing, psychology, emotion all on top of some great wrestling on display from both Etsuko and J-Ro. The no DQ stipulation came into play, both during an extended brawl outside the ring as well as when Etsuko put her opponent in the Lullaby for what felt like an eternity before Rodriguez could break the hold. Another memorable spot was when Etsuko went for the Darkness Falls running knee, only for the exhausted Rodriguez to collapse on the mat and inadvertently avoid the hit. By the time the match hit the thirty minute checkpoint, fans were chanting “fight forever” and the big finish came with Rodriguez hitting her third J-Rocker of the match to finally keep Etsuko down and win the title after a spectacular confrontation.

Winner AND NEW NGW Women's champion: Joanne Rodriguez

Edward Cornell comes out at the start of the show and demands to get his hands on Bantom for the latter's attack at Back to School. Instead, Petter Eriksson comes out and tells him that he will be his opponent for tonight's main event match.

 

A video package airs next, recapping how Marat Khoklov won the King of the Ring Starmageddon match for the right to face the champion in the main event of End of the World, how Edward Cornell won that title since and both men's matches at Back to School. The montage ends with a graphic announcing that its Edward Cornell versus Marat Khoklov for the NGW Heavyweight title at End of the World in December.

 

"The Steppe Cowgirl" Anna Twirl vs Melanie Flyman

In a decent match, Melanie Flyman defeated Anna Twirl in 10:13 by pinfall with a fast roll up.

 

Joanne Rodriguez comes out carrying the NGW Women's title to a loud reaction. She cuts a promo on her victory, putting over Etsuko as a tough opponent and the title as a symbol of what women like Etsuko have done to elevate women's wrestling. Her speech is cut off by Etsuko, who comes out and acknowledges her defeat, congratulates Rodriguez but also reminds her that exactly because of the work she's put in to win, defend and elevate that title, she's now even more motivated to reclaim it.

 

Captain Hero II & Christopher Lister vs The Ivanoff Brothers

In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Captain Hero II and Christopher Lister defeated The Ivanoff Brothers in 11:07 when The Ivanoff Brothers were disqualified because Marat Khoklov ran in and attacked Captain Hero II.

 

Champagne Lover cuts a promo about how his defeat at Back to School has him fired up to reach the top once more. The brand split, he says, is a new beginning full of opportunities and he intends to make the most out of his.

 

"The Alpha Male" Edward Cornell vs Petter Eriksson

In a decent match, Edward Cornell defeated Petter Eriksson in 11:03 by pinfall with a Black Lightning Bomb.

"The Rock and Roller" Sebastian Koller and Viper McKenna come out and criticize John Silver for his picks in the draft, saying that all the title holders ended up with NGW and people in this show have nothing to fight for. Koller says he intends to rectify this by losing whatever little fat is left on his frame so he can compete and take the NGW Cruiserweight title from Christopher Lister. John Silver comes out and says that's not so simple, but for starters he can show what he can do in tonight's main event against a former holder of that title, Shiro Akuma.

 

The competitors for the opening match make their respective entrances, Roy Edison and Beast Bantom, who is now announced as Badass Bantom. The two men share an intense pre-match staredown with neither backing down while the announcers recap Bantom's attack on Cornell at Back to School and Edison's allegiance to the NGW Heavyweight champion.

 

Roy Edison vs Badass Bantom

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Badass Bantom defeated Roy Edison in 8:03 by pinfall with a Savage Pounce.

 

Geena the Warrior Princess vs Viper McKenna

In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Geena The Warrior Princess defeated Viper McKenna in 8:15 by pinfall with an Amazon Plunge. During the match we also had Darkness Cat distract Geena when she stole the necklace that she had placed around one ringpost.

The Ivanoff Brothers and The Johanssons are backstage; The Ivanoffs say that since the brand split, they're the only team on NGW that could compete for the unified Tag Team titles. Signe Lytjohan tries to make an argument, but the Russian brutes aren't having it and they shove her away to shut her up. Obviously, that doesn't sit well with the Johanssons and all four of them start brawling. A host of road agents and staff have to pull them apart.

Accompanied by Viper McKenna, "The Rock and Roller" Sebastian Koller comes out and repeats his request for a title match, saying he beat Akuma last week.

In a decent match, Champagne Lover defeated Cub Balowicz in 5:49 by submission with a Champagne Breakfast.

 

With the Johanssons towering behind her, Signe Lytjohan cuts a promo saying she has a challenge for the Ivanoffs, since they want a shot at the tag titles.

Once again the show opens with "The Rock and Roller" Sebastian Koller, as always accompanied by Viper McKenna. Koller says he beat Akuma and then Matravers; he's tired of being made to jump through hoops in order to get his shot at the NGW Cruiserweight title. John Silver comes out and says he'll shut Koller's big mouth himself because tonight he has to face yet another former holder of that title... himself!

 

Girl Power vs The Wrecking Krew

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Girl Power defeated The Wrecking Krew in 10:25 when Jeri Behr defeated Viv Jacobs with a surprise roll up while Paula Edwards was distracted by Darkness Cat at ringside.

 

Darkness Cat showed up during the match looking to steal the EWA Female title belt which she held before Edwards defeated her for it, but apparently she wasn't aware that Edwards recently lost it in a match against Thea Davis! Once she realized her prize was nowhere to be found, she made a quick escape to avoid the wrath of Edwards, but her retreat was cut off by none other than Geena the Warrior Princess, who proceeded to attack Darkness Cat before ringside crew stormed the scene to separate them!

Koller actually flips the script on the opening segment of this week's episode, calling out John Silver but not demanding his match against Christopher Lister for the NGW Cruiserweight title. Instead, he says he's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he deserves that match after beating three former holders of that title, but he did some research and there's one more person who held that belt he hasn't defeated, Leon Harrison, so tonight he wants Harrison as his opponent in what he calls "a warm up match" before Battle for Europe.</p><p>

This was mainly to get the fans going, as well as a showcase match to exhibit the talents of the younger, less exposed wrestlers. Orson did his usual thing of chaining hits into exciting brawling sequences, whereas Mäkinen, mainly known for his solid mat grappling skills, showed he's not only a competent striker, but a spectacular high flyer as well, a testament to his evolution towards being a much more well rounded worker. On the other hand, Giovanni Bruno seemed to have added some wonderful "this is awkwardly suggestive" technical grappling to complement his sleazy lounge lizard character, while Ricci had every base covered to the point where he might well be regarded as the standard bearer for the next generation of hot rookies coming in. Gandalfini brought the power, taking frequent pauses to flex his physique and with every man having his moment to shine, the match ended with Champagne Lover hitting the Lover Stunner on Harrison for the pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: Army of Lovers</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="pyf9Pt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pyf9Pt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="PQHhWV6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PQHhWV6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="LFcPDbz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LFcPDbz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BJ5XbNO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BJ5XbNO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TgQORsF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TgQORsF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bGfQcLk.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bGfQcLk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="NNIIGh4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NNIIGh4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> The League of Heroes (Captain Hero II, Robert Howard & Adam Matravers) vs The Czars (Marat Khoklov, Dovydas Vidmar & Andryi Boronin</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Boronin was obviously the unknown factor in this match, with the other five competitors having established rivalries as well as characters amongst them. Although the young Ukrainian ex-soldier and amateur grappler did have a brief stint with NGW, he was quickly sent to EWA once it was established in order to hone his chops and this match showed just this improvement within a year. His grapple-heavy offense looked crisp and sharp, a fact he seemed to emphasize over his military background as he methodically attempted to dismantle the opposition. His inexperience however did him in and despite his teammates' best efforts, Boronin was almost cut in half when Howard was able to hit him with a Bull Tackle, subsequently scoring the pin for his team.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The League of Heroes</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="sma3Die.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sma3Die.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="PQHhWV6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PQHhWV6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TgQORsF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TgQORsF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> As the losing team retreated and the winners recollected themselves, Captain Hero II motioned for a microphone to speak his mind.</p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46461" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Hero: <strong>"Marat...

Apparently caught by suprise but no strangers to dirty fighting themselves, the Russian brothers took a beating before they were able to bounce back but a timely swing of Signe Lythjohan's purse onto the head of Igor when the ref wasn't looking was enough to take him out of the match, leaving the champions to take Ivan two-on-one and eventually pin him to retain.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: The Johanssons</strong></p><p><strong> The Johanssons make defence number 3 of their NGW Tag Team titles</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="pyf9Pt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pyf9Pt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ww2Mzx6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ww2Mzx6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="qwZB6cD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/qwZB6cD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Darkness Cat vs Geena the Warrior Princess</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Though the feud between these two women felt a little cartoonish after Cat stole Geena's necklace, NGW didn't at least hang that necklace up on the rafters and make them fight for it in a ladder match and the actual match featured a lot of good wrestling, even if the focus itself was more on the story told within the ropes. Primarily a high flying luchadora, Darkness Cat found out that despite her size and power, Geena has no issue keeping up as she blended brawling and aerial moves into an exciting package. Cat was forced to change her tactics and upped the tempo in an attempt to wear out the veteran, but once again, Geena rose to the occasion and almost had the match won after Cat missed a smooth-looking moonsault. Realizing defeat was inevitable, Cat chose to at least lose on her terms and after spending a moment too long recovering at rinside, she left the ring and got intentionally counted out, much to Geena's dismay.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Geena the Warrior Princess</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="pyf9Pt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pyf9Pt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="yNQekBM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yNQekBM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="NVsHmIw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NVsHmIw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Fusae Etsuko and Joanne Rodriguez are shown backstage, watching the match and shaking their heads in apparent disappointment, though no it is not made clear as to what exactly.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><img alt="lfOxD6w.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lfOxD6w.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="0eQDv0J.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0eQDv0J.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> NGW Heavyweight title match</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="SoeMY3z.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SoeMY3z.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IjXtyuX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IjXtyuX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> "The Alpha Male" Edward Cornell © vs Badass Bantom</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Despite Bantom's absence, his feud with Cornell is not new and the same goes for their apparent chemistry in the ring.

It's a pretty solid match too, with both men showing equal skill on all aspects of wrestling, though Lister seems to opt for a cleaner mix between outright brawling and stiff, precise puroresu-style strikes while Koller is most comfortable when he can sneak in shots using any foreign object he can get away with, such as the ringpost, barricade and even an exposed steel ring after he's removed the protective padding. The contest is pretty even, with momentum swinging back and forth as the two competitors trade controlof the match until Koller's ace up his sleeve, Viper McKenna, plays her part and distracts the ref as Lister hits the Kanobi Kutter. Garry Garret spends way too much time arguing with McKenna and not making the count, so by the time he realizes what's going on and drops down, Koller is able to kick out at two. The match continues and Lister tries to push harder, but another distraction from McKenna allows Koller to hit a low blow, followed by the Hamburg Rock City for the pin and Sebastian Koller's first ever title win since holding the Young Lion title back in mid-2012.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner AND NEW NGW Cruiserweight champion: Sebastian Koller</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="sma3Die.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sma3Die.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="sma3Die.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sma3Die.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p>

<em>Following Battle for Europe, NGW's two brands have agreed to a talent exchange going forward. "The Steppe Cowgirl" Anna Twirl, Konrad Mäkinen, Menace and Ripper LeStat will be jumping ship to Tuesdays and Proving Grounds. In exchange, Back to the Future will be getting "Mile High" Adam Matravers, "The Louisiana Pitbull" Robert Howard, "The Bratva Bruiser" Dovydas Vidmar and Jeri "Air" Behr. Despite both shows getting equally good grades and ratings, fans and critics agree that Back to the Future is probably getting the most out of this deal, as both the Czars and the League of Heroes are back together on the same brand, while the highly promosing Jeri "Air" Behr will be amongst the likes of Fusae Etsuko and the NGW Women's champion, Joanne Rodriguez.</em></p>

Christopher Lister opens the show with a promo about his match at Battle for Europe, when the NGW Heavyweight champion Edward Cornell interrupts him to mock him for losing the NGW Cruiserweight title. Unphased, Lister says he knows Cornell is set to face Marat Khoklov in December, but there is still some time left till then and at this month's Reach for the Sky Pay Per View, he will wipe that smirk off Cornell's face when he takes his title from him!</p><p>

Accompanied as usual by Viper McKenna and now carrying the NGW Cruiserweight title, "The Rock and Roller" Sebastian Koller comes out to cut a promo and brag about his win, saying he did what he promised he'd do, bring a title to the Proving Ground brand. He is interrupted by John Silver who points out that now a challenger is needed, which of course is a lead-in for him to throw down the gauntlet. This leads to a series of people coming out to throw their name in the hat and make their claim, so by the end of the segment Leon Harrison, Shiro Akuma, Roy Edison and Sergei Kalashnov are all out, clearly too many challengers in a messy situation that needs to be sorted out.</p><p>

The Army of Lovers take turns on the mic to brag about themselves and generally be an obnoxious group of good looking airheads, when Edward Cornell interrupts them. At first, Cornell mocks the group for its initial, short-lived inception in the past, but it backfires once he talks about Champagne Lover losing the NGW Heavyweight title; the Mexican gets on the mic to cut him off and criticize Cornell's shady title defenses, before asking him how that "Real Deal thing" has been working for him lately. With fans cheering and nothing good to respond, Cornell storms off looking angry.</p><p>

Backstage, Captain Hero II is preparing for his match against Dovydas Vidmar, which was arranged a week ago, when Lister walks up to him and offers to be his second at ringside. Initially, Hero rejects the offer, but Lister brings up the case of Robert Howard, who walks into the scene looking battered and bruised. As it is revealed, Marat Khoklov attacked him backstage as soon as Signe Lythjohan announced the triple threat match, forcing the smaller Matravers to compete against the other two bruisers and preventing Howard from even being there at ringside for him. The revelation is enough to convince Captain Hero II to accept the help and he walks to the curtain with a renewed sense of purpose.</p><p>
