<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;">If rumors are to be believed, fans of the Supreme Wrestling Federation may be in for a second wave of Sammania. Following the completion of his tour with Japan's leading fed Burning Hammer Of The Wrestling Gods over a year ago, Sam Strong is said to be showing little interest in another Japanese run. Word in Vermont is that preliminary discussions have begun to bring the former four-time World champion back to cap off his illustrious career. Sam Strong was last seen in an SWF ring in 1994 when he failed to dethrone then-reigning champion Bruce The Giant at that year's </span></span><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><em>Welcome To The Jungle</em></span></span><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> pay-per-view.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;">There is said to be no thaw in the relationship between SWF owner Richard Eisen and current North American champion Nemesis which has turned icy in recent months. Neither man is said to be pulling punches in their remarks about one another and other talent are supposedly avoiding being in the same room as them if at all possible. The North American title is said to be the only thing preventing Richard Eisen from firing him immediately, though Nemesis' contract is believed to be expiring soon. The superstar has been overheard remarking that he'd rather take a job with AAA than remain in the SWF.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;">Phil Vibert is reportedly picking out a pen to sign the contract and complete his purchase of east coast hardcore fed Danger And Violence Extreme where he manages JD Morgan. Current owner Buddy Gaines is said to want a smaller role in the operation of the company and approves of Vibert's vision going forward. DAVE (out of New York City) is one of the warring federations part of what's being called the 'East Coast Wars', a rivalry between them and PPPW in Philadelphia, RPW in Baltimore, and the XFW also in New York City.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;">Dusty Streets is healthy and ready to make his own return to the Supreme Wrestling Federation from Burning Hammer Of The Wrestling Gods if reports are true. Eldest son of the legendary Rocky Streets and older brother of Sid "The Kid", Dusty Streets has captured the SWF Tag Team titles twice with each of them. Rumors swirl in every direction concerning what role he will play in storylines, to either support or oppose his brother who currently feuds with SWF champ Sam Keith and his mercenary Black Hat Bailey or to sidestep that storyline altogether.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;">Rumors (which we at WWD find incredibly easy to believe) tell of C.A.N.N. executives demanding an immediate turnaround of ratings for AMW's </span></span><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><em>Awesome To The Max!</em></span></span><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> television show, which they've already moved back three slots and cut from a full hour to merely a half of one. Sources in AMW tell that they're not even sure C.A.N.N. executives have been able to get ahold of boss Trenton Evenrud, who is notoriously difficult to be reached concerning pressing matters and conducts himself very curtly and unprofessionally anyway. If earlier reports of an impending roster walkout come to fruition, it's hard to imagine AMW having the talent on-hand to make drastic changes to its product.</span></span></p></div><p></p><p></p>

SWF Supreme TV

Tuesday, Week 1 January, 1997

Wilmington, Delaware

Attendance: 5,500

 

The typical jazzy riff and lightshow brings the show to open. Quick cut to Michaels and Jillefski who pump the Sid Streets/Black Hat Bailey main event match.

 

 

 

 

Jerry Eisen is in the ring for an interview. The crowd pops hard when he calls out Sid Streets' name.

 

 

 

Sid the Kid swaggers his way down to the ring, but he's all business on the microphone. Sid says that that he's not angry or bitter about Black Hat Bailey's attack that cost him the SWF World Heavyweight Title at Christmas Clash because he knows becoming the SWF champion is his destiny and Bailey is nothing but a petty distraction Sam Keith has put in his way, one that he'll eliminate tonight.

 

 

{Commercial Break}

 

 

Captain USA versus Rory McCallum w/Danny Bruce

 

Rory wastes time at the bell jacking his jaws at the fans which Captain capitalizes on, laying into the Scotsman with strikes. Backed into a corner Rory breaks the attack with a thumb to the eyes and takes over. Rory controls the match with a variety of holds that frustrate the fans (much to his delight). Captain USA is irish-whipped but ducks a clothesline and hits a dropkick, earning a small pop. His comeback is ultimately disrupted by...

 

 

 

Wrestlebot 9000, who comes marching into the ring Rory and Captain both jump on him, igniting a three-way brawl that causes the match to get thrown out.

Result: No Contest

 

Wrestlebot 9000 leaves the ring and begins rampaging at ringside, tearing up equipment and taking odd cardboard and paper products from the fans to "repair" his arms. Danny Bruce chooses to steer clear of the "robot" by hopping in the ring and hiding behind Rory, who gets a microphone and goes on a tirade against him and how much trouble he's caused.

 

 

{Commercial Break}

 

 

 

Tommy Cornell is out to the ring for what was announced as a North American Title match but Nemesis is in street clothes and the belt is nowhere to be seen. Nemesis gets a microphone and apologizes to Tommy but says he's not wrestling him tonight. He says he's had nothing but shit fed to him from Richard Eisen for months and he's had enough of the "gay kiddy shit" that the SWF thrives on, and if Richard Eisen has a problem with that he can "bite his ass." He tosses the microphone and heads to the back. The crowd is somewhat shocked and Tommy Cornell looks disgusted. The broadcast abruptly tosses to commercial.

 

 

{Commercial Break}

 

 

 

Louis Williams is in the gold vault with his feet propped up, having a glass of champagne. He says that after a cut the Gold Alliance is looking for new talent. Williams says he's on the hunt for a man who is "truly supreme."

 

 

 

 

Christian Faith hits the ring to the adoration of everyone. He gets some cheap pops by plugging the hometown, then says you win some, lose some and that's exactly what happened to him at Christmas Clash. He calls out Bruce The Giant, who quickly obliges him.

 

 

Christian Faith says he and Bruce have had their fair share of wars over the last few years and Bruce came out on top in their last. Bruce sneers. Christian Faith says he's a fighter who refuses to stay down and wants another swing at bringing Bruce down to size. Bruce laughs obnoxiously and bellows a "NO! into his microphone before leaving a dejected Christian Faith in the ring.

 

 

{Commercial Break}

 

 

Black Hat Bailey w/Jean-Luc Lemans versus Sid Streets

 

Black Hat Bailey meets Sid on the ramp but gets knocked back on his heels. Sid wails on him almost the entire way around the ring before bringing the match to its official beginning. Sid keeps the attack going with a running faceplant. Black Hat reverses a Boston Crab and takes over, killing Sid's momentum with superior chain wrestling. On more than one occasion Sid only just gets to the ropes to escape a submission. His chance at a comeback is delivered when he reverses a suplex and follows up with a big standing legdrop. Sid speeds up and Black Hat has trouble defending himself from quick strikes, kicks, clotheslines, and even a splash. He finally ducks out of the ring to catch a breather and catches Sid with an uppercut when he pursues. He tosses Sid into the steel steps and rolls back in the ring, hoping for a count-out victory, but Sid makes it back in on the count of seven. Bailey returns to work on his legs with knee drops and elbow drops, but Sid kicks off his attempt to apply the Bailey Breaker and catches Bailey with a toe drop. He signals for the Road to Freedom and takes to the apron, beginning to ascend the ringpost...

 

 

 

... when Sam Keith cracks him on the back with a chair.

Result: Sid Streets by Disqualification

 

Keith rolls Sid back in the ring and follows with his chair, ordering Black Hat to hold Sid up. Before he gets another chance to waylay his contender, however...

 

 

 

Dusty Streets comes charging from the back with a chair of his own. The crowd erupts as he sends Sam Keith, Black Hat Bailey, and Jean-Luc Lemans running back up the ramp. He helps his younger brother up and raises his arm as the broadcast goes off-air.
