[CENTER][/CENTER] From NWAwrestling.com With just days to go before Showdown 6, the NWA rolls into the Sunshine State as FUSION invades the Jenkins Arena. Last week Stan Hansen announced a Mystery Partner Mayhem match for Showdown 6 and the main event of FUSION will be a triple threat preview of that match featuring "Classic" Colt Cabana taking on "The King of the Monsters" Matt Weise and the unpredictable Necro Butcher! In addition, in his first match as a Horseman, "The Old School Prodigy" Sterling James Keenan teams with Julio Dinero as they take on the SAT, Jose and Joel Maximo. All this and much more on FUSION this week including Jody Fleisch taking on Christian York. Be sure to tune in this Wednesday night only on FUSE!

I'm your host Scott Hudson joined as always by Jim Cornette. Jim, we are only three days away from Showdown 6 and four days from the debut of NWA COAST 2 COAST on F/X but we still have some great NWA action for you here tonight." "Absolutely, headlined by the big preview of the Mystery Partner Mayhem triple threat match featuring "Classic" Colt Cabana, the Necro Butcher, and "The King of the Monsters" Matt Weise squaring off tonight. "And in addition to that, we have the Xtreme Horsemen debut of Sterling James Keenan as he teams up with Julio Dinero to take on Jose and Joel Maxino, the SAT!" You will not want to miss a minute!

I know your team is up in Big Bear training for their matches for Showdown 6. What I want to know is, how big is Saturday night going to be for Team Punishment?" "Becky Saturday night is going to be the biggest night in the history of Team Punishment. First off "The Huntington Beach Bad" Tito Ortiz is going to successfully retain his North American title by defeating not one but two men, Chris Hero and Jimmy Rave. Those two clearly have some issue with one another but its not going to matter since Tito is just going to tear through both of them. The can resolve their issues with each other while they're sharing a hospital room. Then from there we will all be witness to the coronation of what will be the youngest NWA World Heavyweight Champion in over twenty years, Daniel Puder, the man who was too nasty for MMA, the man who was too dangerous for the WWE, and the man who damn near broke the Olympic Idiot Kurt Angle in half. D'Lo Brown, we have nothing but respect for you. You're a great champion, a fighting champion, a true credit to this sport but the future will not be denied and Daniel Puder is the future! Come Saturday night, Daniel Puder will take your title and we will usher in the start of the NWA COAST 2 COAST era Sunday night with a brand new heavyweight champion of the world!"[/B] (B+) [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]A video is played highlighting the feud between Mr. Wrestling III and Steve Corino which touches on the tension between III and his partner the Patriot.

"Well tonight you have a big match as you take on two dangerous opponents, the Necro Butcher and self-proclaimed "King of the Monsters" Matt Weise. Are you a bit apprehensive taking on a match like this three days away from the Mystery Partner Mayhem match at Showdown 6?" "Nervous? Why would "The Classic One" be nervous? Its not like I'm going to get eaten if I lose this match or something. Actually, come to think of it, with that big freak the Necro Butcher in the match, maybe I COULD get eaten? Geez, Becky now you got me all nervous for this. I don't want to end up a snack for that mutant!"[/B] Cabana looks very serious and nervous for minute before breaking out into a big smile. [B]"I'm just messing with you kiddo! Its going to take more than a match with these two monsters to wipe the smile off my face. I'm just going to go out there, give it my all, and entertain all the Cabanaramics out there." "One more question Colt if you don't mind. Can you give a hint as to who your mystery partner is going to be for Showdown 6?" "Well that would be spoiling the surprise Beck! I will say this, I did place a call to Lou Thesz so if he's free that night, I've got a heck of partner!" "Um...Colt, Lou Thsz has been dead for several years now." "He is? That explains why he hasn't called me back! Good thing I planned ahead and placed a call to Andre the Giant as well! Team Classic is going all the way at Showdown 6 baby!"

FUSION ends with Hudson and Cornette plugging Showdown 6 and the debut of NWA COAST 2 COAST. (B)[/QUOTE] RATING: B-

[G-Prime]

Hmmm... Looks like Cabana's partner is going to be ECW's Zombie... Hooray for dead people! And I'm predicting Matt Weise and Matt Bloom are teaming up for Showdown. And Necro Butcher with a tag team partner... No... No... NO! Not the Danger Zone again ;_; Well, those are my predictions anyway... I've been known to be wrong.

[Oldschool]

Colt Cabana rules...great schtick with him

[Wildfire1324]

[QUOTE=G-Prime;166086] And Necro Butcher with a tag team partner... No... No... NO! Not the Danger Zone again [/QUOTE] Hmmm.....I wonder if John Zandig is free to team up with the Butcher the Saturday? Danger Zone II maybe? ;)

[CENTER] [/CENTER] [B]Excerpt from the Bruce Mitchell Audio update on PWTorch.com for Friday December 1st, 2006. Wade Keller: Well Bruce, we are one night away from the NWA's Showdown 6 so let's touch on that briefly. What are your thoughts on this event? Bruce Mitchell: I'm not so sure about this main event. Puder is still a little on the green side but he's been built up pretty well. I'm just not sure about how, you know, its going to hold up to D'Lo and Marufuji. I guess we'll have to see on that one. The Briscoes versus Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams should be a really good match if they give it enough time. WK: What about the "Mystery Partner Mayhem" match? Any thoughts on who we could see? BM: Well I have to question building up this match with a goofy Colt Cabana interview segment. It could be a decent match depending on who is in it. I assume Matt Bloom is going to wind up as Colt Cabana's partner although some people believe you could get the turn and he could go with Matt Weise. WK: Any other thoughts on the show Bruce? BM: I think the match between Tito Ortiz, Jimmy Rave, and Chris Hero could be a good one. I just want to see that storyline forwarded. WK: Okay Bruce. I guess we'll wrap this up so we can touch on this unconfirmed story about Cryme Tyme getting into a fight with Kevin Federline's posse backstage and how they alledgedly put the "rapper" in the hospital.......[/B] (sorry wishful thinking :) )

[B]9:00 PM EST Saturday December 2nd 2006 [/B] [CENTER] [/CENTER] [B]"Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking live at the jam-packed Silver Spurs Arena in Central Florida. Tonight however, it is the center of the wrestling universe. Tonight is Showdown 6! I am your host Scott Hudson and I am joined once again by legendary manager of champions, Mister James E. Cornette. Jim, I know you're as excited as I am for this great night of NWA action!" "Absolutely Scott, a great night of NWA action headlined by the NWA World Heavyweight Champion D'Lo Brown defending the title against the number one contender, "Too Dangerous" Daniel Puder. D'Lo has been a fighting champion but he has never faced a man with the combination of skills like Puder possesses. Daniel Puder on the other hand is battling history. No one as young as he is has worn the NWA World Heavyweight title in over twenty years since a young "Wildfire" Tommy Rich defeated Harley Race. Tonight its youth versus experience, the heart of champion versus the desire of a warrior. Regardless of who wins, this should be a classic." "There is no doubt about that Jim and there is a lot more action tonight as well including the Briscoes defending the NWA World Tag Team titles against Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams plus North American champion Tito Ortiz in a triple threat match against Chris Hero and Jimmy Rave. All this and much much more tonight. Let's head to ring, Showdown 6 starts now!"[/B] The theme song for Showdown 6 is A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley

In dark matches Rainman beat Mikey Batts and Eduardo Colon beat Dropkick Murphy. [QUOTE] In the opening bout of the evening, Elijah Burke beats Christian York by pinfall following the E.B.E. (the Elijah Burke Experience) in 5:11. (B-)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Three quick pre-taped promos from Tito Ortiz, Chris Hero and Jimmy Rave are shown. Highlights include: Ortiz: [B]"I don't care if you two idiots have a problem with each other but I do care about this shiny gold belt around my waist. You two can beat the crap out of each other until the cows come home but I'll be damned if I'm not who's hand gets raised at the end of this."[/B] (B) Hero: [B]"Even though things seem bleak for everyone's Brand New Hero, even though the deranged stalker Jimmy Rave will finally get me in the ring, even though my rematch for my title that was stolen from me is an against all odds triple threat match, even though some maniacal killing machine is holding my title, all is not lost. Just remember, your Brand New Hero always, ALWAYS has an ace up his sleeve!"[/B] (B-) Rave: [B]"I just want the NWA to know that what is about to happen to Chris Hero is not my fault. All the sins of his past have led to this one moment of vengeance. Hero, I feel no remorse for what I am about to do you knowing full well you deserve all of it and more. I've been to hell and back because of you. Tonight you will feel my wrath. Ortiz, I could give a damn about your title, but listen carefully. Do NOT get in my way!"[/B] (C+) [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Tito Ortiz defeats Chris Hero by pinfall in 9:32. The ending came when Jimmy Rave nails Hero with the Rave Review and waves on Tito Ortiz to make the pin, apparantly possessing no desire to win the title. After referee Brian Hebner calls for the bell, Rave blindsides the One Man Gang with a low blow as he is tending to Hero then proceeds to pounds Hero mercilessly until blood is pouring out of his head. Referees and officials finally pull him off but not before the ring looks like an absolute crime scene. (Match B, Attack B-)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] The Mystery Partner Mayhem match was won by Matt Weise and Matt Bloom by pinfall in 12:09 after Weise crushes La Parka with the Stump Grinder. Colt and La Parka came out first, followed by the Necro Butcher and Abdullah the Butcher. Matt Weise came out alone and wrestled a good chunk of the match alone until Bloom came down and blindsided La Parka which led to the Stump Grinder by Weise. After the pinfall, Weise and Bloom embrace as the crowd boos. Weise and Bloom are the new number one contenders to the NWA World Tag Team titles. (B-) [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Back in the locker room, the camera catches Jody Fleisch wishing good luck to his partner Nigel McGuinness and their friend Doug Williams as they prepare for their title shot tonight. [B]"Remember mates, tonight, good guys win, bad guys lose, and as always England prevails!"[/B] exclaims Doug as they prepare to head towards the ring with Jody waving the Union Jack. (C) [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] The Best in the World, Jay and Mark Briscoe defeat Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams by pinfall in 23:02 when Jay prevents Doug Williams from rolling through on the Chaos Theory and gets his shoulders down for the one two three. After the match both teams shake hands much the approval of the crowd. (Match B+, Handshake B)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]A video is played highlighting the feud between Mr. Wrestling III, the issues between III and the Patriot and the debut of Sterling Keenan as the newest member of the Xtreme Horsemen. (B+)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] The Xtreme Horsemen defeat Mr. Wrestling III, the Patriot and the SAT by pinfall in 17:59. The ending came after Mr. Wrestling III misses Sterling Keenan with a running kneelift and blasts the Patriot by mistake. Steve Corino dumps the stunned Mr. Wresting III out of the ring and Keenan snags the quick pinfall with the help of a handful of tights. After the bout, III and the SAT try to explain to the Patriot what happened but, not wanting the hear it, he storms from the ring, leaving his partners behind, stopping briefly to flip off Mr. Wrestling III.

(B+)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] A highlight video of Daniel Puder including the infamous and unintentionally hillarious training montage is played (B)[/QUOTE] THE MAIN EVENT IS NEXT

[Wildfire1324]

Lauren Jones is in the ring with a microphone in her hand. Daniel Puder and D'Lo Brown have both made their entrances and are awaiting the official announcements. [B]"Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the National Wrestling Alliance Heavyweight Championship of the World!" [CENTER] [/CENTER] "Introducing first, the reigning and defending NWA Heavyweight Champion of the World, standing in the corner to my left, weighing in tonight at two hundred and sixty seven pounds, standing six feet one inch tall, fighting out of Chicago, Illinois, the Real Deal, D'Lo Brown!" [CENTER][/CENTER] "And the challenger, standing in the corner to my right, weighing in tonight at two hundred and thirty eight pounds, standing six feet two inches tall, fighting out of Cupertino, California, "Too Dangerous" Daniel Puder." [CENTER] [/CENTER] "When the bell rings, the man in charge will be NWA Senior Official, Mister Rudy Charles."[/B] [CENTER] [/CENTER] Rudy Charles calls both men into the center of the ring and Lauren Jones holds the microphone for him during final instructions. [B]"Okay men, I want a good, clean fight. On my sign, you will go back to you corner and when the bell rings come out fighting. Are there any questions?"[/B] Both men shake their heads no. There is an offer of a handshake by D'Lo which Puder accepts, gripping tightly and pulling the champ in until they're staring eye to eye. Rudy Charles separates them. [B]"Its time then. Good luck to you both."[/B] [B] DING DING DING[/B]

[Wildfire1324]

Puder attacks from behind as D'Lo is distracted by Don Callis to start. Referee Rudy Charles wastes no time in ejecting Callis from ringside. Now one on one, D'Lo peppers Puder with jabs in an effort to keep him from shooting on him. D'Lo connects with a big clothesline and puts Puder down with a series of headbutts then nails a delayed vertical suplex and puts on an armbar. Puder rolls through to shift the momentum and staggers the champ with some kicks to the thigh. Puder irish whips him and nails a double cross chop to the throat which stuns D'Lo and then follows up with a series of Kawada kicks. A series of chops and lefts snap D'Lo back into reality but do eventually put him down. Puder spends the next several minutes working on D'Lo's arm as his strategy becomes apparant, set the champ up for the Keylock. Puder keeps attempting to lock the devastating hold on and D'Lo keeps fighting him off. The ending comes when Puder slaps on the Keylock. D'Lo fighting to retain his title, manages to make his way over to the ropes to break the hold. As Puder tries to drag him back into the center of the ring, D'Lo manages to scoop him into the Marufuji Perfect Inside Cradle for the surprise one two three. D'Lo rolls out of the ring nursing a sore left arm as Puder remain in the middle of the ring, frustrated that he came so close to winning. The match officially ends at 19:35. Before the show goes off the air, Stan Hansen comes out to congratulate both men on a great effort. He announces that the NWA will return to Pay Per View on January 6th 2007 and directs D'Lo and the fans to view this video. He then tells the fans to tune in to the debut of NWA COAST 2 COAST tommorrow night on F/X to hear the big announcement related to that PPV. (Match B, Angle B+) SHOW RATING: B

[D16NJD16]

I just thought of someone who would be a great addition to this diary. Kurt Angle! He'd fit perfect with the wrestling/product style, plus he can face Puder. I'd love to do it in my diary but my promotion is to small for him to sign with. Consider it...

[G-Prime]

Great show, as always. I liked the video for A Night For Honour. In fact, I liked it so much, I'll go buy my tickets now. *Puts on his Mr Wrestling T-Shirt so he looks like the rest of the fans*

[kadekash1983]

First off let me start off by saying excellent diary. Just great. How did you get CW Anderson when he is under contract with WWE? Did he get released or something? And you found Mike Awesome in Japan? I could of swore he's been retired for years and working in real estate or something in Tampa? :p

It doesn't mean he won't stop calling him out though. :) [QUOTE]How did you get CW Anderson when he is under contract with WWE? Did he get released or something? And you found Mike Awesome in Japan?

When I started the game I basically edited a bunch of guys into the NWA that I wanted to build around and thought it would be realistic to have. This was before ECW really got under way. The unexpected part was that the WWE in the game signed him away from me early on. As for Mike Awesome, I'm not sure where he was in the game but telling the NWA fans he was dominating in Japan sounds a lot more intimidating than he was selling real estate in Tampa. Regardless, Matt Weise crushed him on his way out the door to TNA! :rolleyes: Thanks again everybody. Coast 2 Coast is coming soon!

[Wildfire1324]

Hey everybody....I'm not going to have time to post Coast 2 Coast before I leave for Florida since I don't want to rush it. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and I'll see you all next week! -Wildfire

[D16NJD16]

Have fun!

[G-Prime]

Have fun mate.

[Wildfire1324]

Hey guys, I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I'm back from a relaxing Christmas in Florida and will have the debut edition of NWA COAST 2 COAST up later today. I think this should be a big moment for the award winning NWA: A Return to Glory diary. Hopefully it will be worth the wait and hopefully it lives up to the hype that the voters have given me. While I'm at it, I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2007. See you in the ring! :)

Look at me, Matt Weise, six foot five, two hundred and eighty five pounds of pure dominance. Look at this beast, Matt Bloom, six feet seven inches and three hundred and thirty seven pounds of destruction.

The NWA has purchased the remnants of ROH and at A NIGHT FOR HONOR we all shall see these remnants. Gentlemen, I'd like for you to meet some people. Boys come on out."[/B] The Final Countdown by Europe plays and four men emerge from the back and stand on the ramp.[B] "Please let me introduce to you, the Ring of Honor Pure Champion Roderick Strong, the Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions Davey Richards and Jack Evans, and the Ring of Honor Heavyweight Champion, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, your opponents at A NIGHT FOR HONOR! That's right folks, we're going to have three title unification matches as Roderick Strong will face off with Tito Ortiz, Jay and Mark Briscoe will face off with Davey Richards and Jack Evans and D'Lo Brown will go one on one with Bryan Danielson!"[/B] The four ROH alumni enter the ring and go face to face with their NWA foes. After a brief staredown, they offer handshakes to them which are cautiously accepted as Hansen leads the crowd in raucous applause for all eight men. The screen goes black while the sounds of the crowd cheering continues as COAST 2 COAST goes off the air. (B+)[/QUOTE] RATING: B

I love ROH and Bryan Danielson screams NWA...I just hope you dont become too ROHish if that makes any sense...Your NWA is very unique and truly feels like its own original product....I hope you keep it that way... On the other hand how many ROH guys have you signed...The 4 appearing at "A Night For Honor" are all awesome!
