Charasmatic Enigma Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 WrestleWorld unveils new UK streaming service, ‘WrestleWorld GB’ On Monday, WrestleWorld announced its brand new streaming services WrestleWorld Lucha and WrestleWorld GB. Since launching in March of this year, WrestleWorld has taken North American independent wrestling by storm – boasting streaming deals with no fewer than eleven North American wrestling companies. In exciting news for UK readers, during todays announcement WrestleWorld UK confirmed that they had reached a landmark deal with newly founded promotion the National Wrestling Federation (NWF) that is understood to encompass a weekly television deal and monthly Events produced exclusively for WrestleWorld GB. An investor from the NWF, who has requested anonymity, confirmed that the NWF has already secured a large group of investors who are looking to cash in on a booming British wrestling industry. “WrestleWorld GB enter the UK wrestling scene with the aim of being a disruptor. We believe that the NWF is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the opportunity that WrestleWorld GB are offering. WrestleWorld’s On Demand service is aligned to current UK viewing trends, and we are hugely excited to be the first UK based wrestling promotion to deliver On Demand content to the masses.” While there has been no official word on any talent the NWF has contacted, Grime artist Darius Moss shared the WrestleWorld GB announcement with his thousands of Instagram followers. Moss has previously worked on the British independent scene under the stage name “Dangermouth”. The first showing of the currently unnamed NWF show is scheduled to debut on 10th October, with new episodes being uploaded to the streaming site every Wednesday. It is believed the show will have a runtime of 90 minutes. TEW.com will continue to report any updates on this exciting development in the British wrestling scene. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charasmatic Enigma Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 WrestleWorld GB & NWF present: National Wrestling Episode #1 Wednesday W2 October 2020 Show Rating: 46 Your Announce Team: Jackie Goldstein & Melanie Florence Jackie Goldstein: “Hello and welcome to the debut episode of National Wrestling, available to stream exclusively On Demand at WrestleWorld GB! My name is Jackie Goldstein, and joining me at ringside is Melanie Florence!” Melanie Florence: “It’s great to be here Jackie, there’s been a lot of talk over the last few weeks. But tonight the talking stops - the lights are on, the cameras are rolling and we’re ready for action!” Nate Manchester VS Brilliant White The debut episode of National Wrestling kicks off with the familiar theme of Nate Manchester. “The Real Angel Of The North” was a firm favourite with the crowd having spent 8 years on National TV with 21CW. Brilliant White’s theatrical entrance and Phantom Of The Opera style mask meant that he also held the crowds attention… if for a slightly different reason. This match was contested at a frantic pace, with the action going back and forth between the two Cruiserweight competitors. However, Nate Manchester had slightly too much for a game Brilliant White and was able to hit his Manc-Sault finisher to secure the first ever pinfall in the NWF. Rating: 48 As Nate Manchester celebrated his victory on the ramp, he was passed by his former tag team partner Leo Price. The two men embraced, and the crowd gave “The Lion” a good reception. Leo Price: “Few men in this business respect tag team wrestling the way that I do. I won tag team gold on four separate occasions, alongside three different partners. That’s why I’m delighted to announce, in my first act as NWF Commissioner, a tournament to crown the inaugural NWF Tag Team Champions! Eight of the premier tag teams from across the UK and Europe will compete in a round robin tournament… which starts right… NOW!” Rating: 39 Jon Michael Sharp & Martin Heath vs The Black Country Boys (Gazz Vedmore & Mickey Robson) NWF Tag Team Tournament Quarter Final Sharp & Heath definitely lived up to Leo Price’s billing as one of the UK’s premier tag teams, having previously held Tag Team gold in both ROF & CWW. The Black Country Boys are an exciting young team in their own right, who showed great chemistry in the ring. The Black Country Boys managed to hang in with their more experienced opponents, but Martin Heath was able to pick up the victory with a Disarmer to see his team advance to the Semi Finals. Rating: 44 We cut away from the ring to an MMA training facility, where Mo Abedola was stood by with Edison Silva – less than a day after it was confirmed that his 21CW contract had expired! Abedola hyped the work his client had been putting in to make sure he was in tip-top shape to DOMINATE the NWF. Mo Abedola: “I've negotiated Edison’s contract myself. I’ve dotted the I’s and crossed the T’s. This is a new beginning for Edison Silva, and by soliciting my services he’s made sure that he can’t fail!” Rating: 54 Welsh Dragon VS Stardust Phil Cox From one former 21CW star to another, as Welsh Dragon competed for the first time since his release back in April. The Welshman looked like he had a point to prove here, as both men flew around the ring at a blistering pace. Welsh Dragon landed a series of his trademark kicks, while Stardust Phil Cox threw himself around the ring with seemingly no regard for his own physical wellbeing. The finish to the match came when Stardust went for one risk too many and missed a Flying Cross Body from the top rope and landing hard. He leapt back to his feet, but turned right into a Dragon Kick! Welsh Dragon made the cover for the 1… 2… 3. Rating: 42 Cain Carlile VS Joey Beauchamp A real clash in styles here, as the smooth, methodical wrestling style of “The Breeze” met the high risk, frenetic “Captain Crash”. Initially it looked like the fast paced aerial assault had caught Joey Beauchamp off guard, but after a tough opening few minutes the veteran slowly took control of the contest. Slowing the pace of the match right down, “The Breeze” knocked the wind out of Carlile’s sails and was able to hit the Breeze Block for a straightforward victory. Rating: 39 Next we have the unlikely duo of Chuck Frisby and Dwayne Dark making their way down to the ring. Chuck Frisby: “Five years ago I left England to head North and solve Scotland’s Obesity epidemic. Imagine my surprise that on my return I find out that the very epidemic I had cured in Scotland had taken over here in England as well!” Frisby motioned vaguely at the front row. Chuck Frisby: “Just looking out at some of you in the audience makes me sick. The burger van must be doing great business tonight!” Boos ring around the building, which Frisby ignored. Instead he motioned towards the ripped physique Dwayne Dark. Chuck Frisby: “This is what is possible with a little bit of hard work. Something this country seems to be allergic to… But never fear with my patented diet and workout plan, you too could look like my client here. And just in case you have any doubts, I’m about to show you just what is possible if you follow Frisby’s Foundation for Fitness program!” Dwayne Dark took a menacing step forward, before Chuck Frisby finished with his catchphrase. Chuck Frisby: “My name is Chuck Frisby, and I’m here to tackle England’s obesity crisis one person at a time.” Rating: 33 Bulldog Jack VS Chuck Frisby A surprise appearance from the veteran Bulldog Jack, who unfortunately looked to have developed a pot belly since his last run with the EWA three years ago… a fact that did not go unnoticed by Chuck Frisby. Dwayne Dark initially took a menacing step towards Bulldog Jack, but Frisby waved him off. Frisby mockingly pointed at Jack’s new potbelly, before trying to lead the veteran in a few sets of Jumping Jacks and Push-Ups. Bulldog Jack remained unmoved, until he hit the ever-cocky Frisby with a hard right hand that sent Chuck flying. Jack was able to land a few heavy shots, causing Frisby to cower pathetically behind referee Ray Worral. With the referee distracted trying to shake Frisby off of his trouser leg, Dwayne Dark was able to sneak into the ring and deliver a hard right hand to the temple of an unsuspecting Bulldog Jack. Frisby immediately jumped back into life and delivered a Swinging Neckbreaker to the dazed veteran to pick up a speedy victory. The crowd roundly booed Frisby as he went on laps of the ring in a wildly over the top celebration, yelling at members of the audience to purchase his program, before going into one more round of Jumping Jacks over his downed opponent. Rating: 23 On commentary Jackie Goldstein voiced his approval over Chuck Frisbys antics, but was hastily shushed by Melanie Florence as Byron made his way out ahead of the Main Event. Florence hyped Byron’s 26 year career, calling him a 10x World Champion. At one point she even went as far as to call him “the greatest sporting export the UK had ever produced”. Goldstein began to interject that he could think of a few bigger sporting exports, but was loudly shushed by his broadcasting partner again as Byron began to talk. Byron: “It’s not often that I get jealous of anyone… but I must admit that tonight I am jealous of each and every one of you in attendance.” The crowd cheer Byron’s words, while on commentary Melanie Florence looks enraptured by every word coming out of Byron’s mouth. Byron: “People like you don’t often get to witness greatness first hand, but tonight you all get to witness the homecoming of the biggest name in European wrestling – the 10x World Champion Byron, and the HOTTEST prospect in all of wrestling – a man who’s genetics GUARANTEE he will follow in my illustrious footsteps… my son, Bret Heartbreak!” Melanie Florence continued to croon over Byron on commentary, but had to talk a little louder now to be heard over the booing crowd. Byron: “You people need to learn a little respect! This is the first time I’ve been back to this hellhole in 26 years, and I’m already starting to remember why I left. I’ve held gold everywhere that I’ve wrestled, and the NWF will be no different. With Bret by my side, there aren’t two men in that locker room who can stop us!” Rating: 40 Grant Taypen & Leighton Buzzard vs The Heartbreaks (Byron & Bret Heartbreak) NWF Tag Team Tournament Quarter Final The Heartbreaks looked to be very confident going into this one, but Taypen & Buzzard were certainly no slouches – with three previous reigns as tag champions across CWW & SNP. Byron started the match off against Grant Taypen, and the veteran very quickly took control and isolated Taypen in his teams corner. Bret Heartbreak soon entered the match and continued the offensive. The crowd were solidly behind Buzzard & Taypen here, and Bret seemed more affected by the crowds constant booing and taunting than his father had been… constantly pausing after big moves to yell at the crowd or pose pompously. This would eventually cost him as Taypen was able to make a scramble for his corner and make the hot tag to Leighton Buzzard. Buzzard hit the ring hot! Clothesline to Bret… Clothesline to Byron… Dropkick to Bret… and dumping Byron to the outside. Bret Heartbreak looked to land a Clothesline of his own, but Buzzard ducked underneath and delivered another picture perfect Dropkick. Heartbreak rolled to the outside to try and halt the momentum, but with Taypen now recovered – he and Buzzard both went flying over the top rope to deliver a double Plancha to their opponents. Buzzard rolled Bret back into the ring as Byron struggled back onto the apron. Buzzard whipped Bret into the ropes and missed the blind tag from Byron as Bret bounced back right into a Flapjack. Buzzard signaled to Taypen and made the tag as both men went to the top rope to deliver the “Double Missile Impact” (dual Missile Dropkicks) to Bret Heartbreak. The youngster was out for the count, but Byron was the legal man and used the element of surprise to dump Leighton Buzzard over the top rope and out of the ring. Taypen turned to see what was happening, right into an Upper Class (European Uppercut) from Byron. Byron made the cover and, much to the crowds disappointment, Roy Worrall made the count and Byron and Bret Heartbreak were declared the victors. Rating: 45 Melanie Florence: “And THAT is why Byron is a 10x World Champion. A dominant performance from The Heartbreaks!” Jackie Goldstein: “I’m not sure I’d exactly call that dominant…” Melanie Florence: “Then you need your eyes checked Jackie. I’m calling it now; The Heartbreaks are winning this whole thing.” Jackie Goldstein: “They’ve still got a long way to go… make sure to join us next week for two more Tag Team Tournament Quarter Finals with more top teams from across the UK and Europe, as well as the in-ring debut of Edison Silva! For all that and more, be sure to join us exclusively on WrestleWorld GB!” 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lions Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I've always been interested in starting a promotion in Great Britain, but it feels like there's a lack of depth at the indy level. I like the idea of waiting to start the company with the launch of WrestleWorld, and it also let you snap up some of 21CW's releases that should be pretty valuable to you for name value. Stardust Phil Cox vs Edison Silva (w/ Mo Adebola) The one guy who got a promo hyping his signing with a manager isn't going to lose his debut match. Grant Taypen & Leighton Buzzard vs The Black Country Boys (Gazz Vedmore & Mickey Robson) They might have lost on Episode 1, but it was in the main event, and they'll do their part to show the rookies the ropes. Bali Daljit vs Joey Beauchamp Even if his first match was a bit of a disappointment, Beauchamp is an English vet who never really got a shake in his home country. Tag Team Tournament Quarter Final: Your New Favourite Team (Jonnny Highspot & Jonni Leyland) vs JK Lee & Padraig O'Hearne No strong inclination one way or the other, so I'm going with Padraig O'Hearne who's one of my favorites. Welsh Dragon vs Dwayne Dark Dwayne Dark has a charismatic loud mouth who seems to enjoy cheating at ringside, and he has a big size and strength advantage on Welsh Dragon. I think Dragon gets screwed out of a win. Tag Team Tournament Quarter Final: Future X vs The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious & Riddick Jordan) The Northern Lights are fantastic and deserve a shot in a company other than SNP.

HiPlus Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I am not super familiar with these guys so will be basing it all of this show. Stardust Phil Cox vs Edison Silva (w/ Mo Adebola) Grant Taypen & Leighton Buzzard vs The Black Country Boys (Gazz Vedmore & Mickey Robson) Black Country Boys were labelled as young upstarts, they can stay young upstars. Bali Daljit vs Joey Beauchamp Breezey boy beauchamp. Tag Team Tournament Quarter Final: Your New Favourite Team (Jonnny Highspot & Jonnieyland) vs JK Lee & Padraig O'Hearne Can't not back my new favourite tag-team can I? Welsh Dragon vs Dwayne Dark Welsh Dragon got the win last week, but Dwayne Dark is Dwayne Dark. He is fit, he is jacked, he is muscular and he certainly is not FAT. Tag Team Tournament Quarter Final: Future X vs The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious & Riddick Jordan) Future X because I like the name more, not that Northern Lights is bad.

The British indy scene is interesting to me. 21CW are set up as a monopoly waiting to be taken down, but you're not really given the tools to do so. None of the available talent with the overness to be useful at the top of the card interest me in any way. Stevie Stoat is way over the hill, Nate Manchester is a generic cruiserweight and The Ivanoffs are too over to use in a tag team division, but don't really work as singles guys. Then you have guys like Chuck Frisby who has an amazing gimmick, but is awful in the ring. The only obvious "breakout star" is Dangermouth, but he's still very green at the start of the game. When I read the NWF's profile, it seemed to me they were almost custom made to launch alongside WrestleWorld. They have good backing (1M at launch) to absorb the TV costs, and their pop is even set very close to the WrestleWorld requirements. For this save I just upped their starting pop to 30 and set their debut date to Oct 20 to allow a TV deal as soon as WrestleWorld GB launched. I did toy with setting it higher and having a run at 21CW, but I thought this was a level that I could sustain while still using fun characters for the show and not worrying solely about performance stats. I have some fun ideas with the roster I've assembled (I'm a few shows ahead), but I am still very obviously light at the top of the card. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quickly caught my attention even though I'm not much into British Isles in the CVerse. It's interesting what you say about using fun characters and not have to worry too much about performance stats. That's how I feel about my diary right now. If you don't feel free to book the shows because you're in a hurry to deliver high ratings it's going to be difficult to write the stories you really like.

Charasmatic Enigma Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 WrestleWorld & NWF present: National Wrestling Episode #2 Wednesday W3 October 2020 Show Rating: 55 Your Announce Team: Jackie Goldstein & Melanie Florence Jackie Goldstein: “Hello and welcome back to National Wrestling, once again streaming exclusively On Demand at WrestleWorld GB! My name is Jackie Goldstein and I’m joined once again at ringside by Melanie Florence.” Melanie Florence: “Thanks Jackie, it’s great to be here… and we’re kicking off with a bang this week because here comes Edison Silva!” Stardust Phil Cox VS Edison Silva w/ Mo Adebola NWF fans got their first view of Edison Silva on WrestleWorld GB and the MMA striker didn’t disappoint, making short work of Stardust Phil Cox. Mo Adebola directed traffic at ringside, as Silva worked through his arsenal of vicious looking strikes and throws. The MMA specialist looked dominant throughout, ending the match with his patented “Knee Strike KO” and Stardust Phil Cox was well and truly out for the count. Rating: 47 Following Silva’s victory, Adebola joined his client in the ring with a microphone in hand. Mo Adebola: “And THAT is exactly what the rest of the NWF locker room have waiting for them. Now that Edison knows that he’s got me handling everything in the background, he’s free to focus on one thing: DOMINATION!” The hotshot lawyer seemed oblivious to the crowds booing as he turned to address his client. Mo Adebola: “Edison, you’ve held up your end of the bargain and now it’s time that I held up mine, so I’d like to invite Commissioner Leo Price to join us in the ring…” A slightly disgruntled looking Leo Price made his way down to the ring to a decent reaction from the crowd. Mo Adebola: “Mr Price, you were involved in the contract negotiations – and I see no reason to delay this any further… so in the presence of the Commissioner of the NWF, I am delighted to announce that in three weeks, my client Edison Silva will take part in a match to crown the very first NWF British Champion!” Leo Price looked a little put out at Mo Adebola’s announcement, and motioned for a microphone from ringside. Leo Price: “That title match will happen as part of a special presentation called “Locked & Loaded”. I wasn’t planning on announcing this tonight, but since Mr. Adebola has jumped the gun… I can exclusively reveal that Edison Silva’s opponent for the NWF British Title will be “The Real Angel Of The North” Nate Manchester!” Mo Adebola looked shocked in the ring, he had clearly not been aware of the identity of his clients opponent. Leo Price exited the ring as Nate Manchester appeared from the back. “The Lion” and “The Real Angel Of The North” waved to the crowd from the top of the ramp, as back in the ring an annoyed Mo Adebola was deep in conversation with his client. Rating: 54 Grant Taypen & Leighton Buzzard VS The Black Country Boys (Gazz Vedmore & Mickey Robson) Two exciting young teams in action here, as both teams look to put last weeks losses behind them and put a victory on the board. Grant Taypen kicked things off for his team, but once again The Black Country Boys showed great chemistry and managed to cut Taypen off from his corner. Both heavy strikers, Vedmore and Robson wore down their smaller opponent. Things were looking desperate for Taypen. Mickey Robson looked to set up for his Package Piledriver, but Taypen was able to wriggle free before Robson could lift him off the ground. Taypen dived for the tag, but Robson was able to grab hold of his foot and prevent the tag. Robson looked to push home his advantage with a single leg take down, but Taypen shifted his weight and was able to get hold of Robson’s head in a sleeper hold. Robson quickly pushed Taypen away, but this created enough space for Taypen to dive for his corner and finally make the tag. A fired up Leighton Buzzard hit the ring hot with a big Clothesline. Robson staggered back to his feet, but ate a Dropkick… again back to his feet, straight into a Step-Up Enzuigiri. Robson staggered back to his corner and made the tag. Vedmore hit the ring, but Buzzard ducked under his Clothesline attempt and hit another Step-Up Enzuigiri. This sent Vedmore staggering into the corner, where he was immediately met with a Running Front Dropkick from Buzzard. Vedmore staggered back to the middle of the ring as Buzzard climbed to the top rope. Pointing to a recovered Grant Taypen, who had climbed to the top of the opposite turnbuckle, the duo hit their “Double Missile Impact” (Dual Missile Dropkicks) finisher. Taypen prevented Robson from breaking up the cover as referee Roy Worrall made the three count to hand Taypen & Buzzard their first victory in the NWF. Rating: 39 Melanie Florence gets very excited on commentary as “Britain’s Greatest Sporting Export” Byron made his way to the ring alongside his son Bret Heartbreak. Melanie talks up the pairs victory in last weeks Main Event against Grant Taypen & Leighton Buzzard, the team we had just seen victorious in the previous match. Byron: “Last week we showed EXACTLY why we are locks to win this tournament. I’ve been involved in this business a long time, and from what I’ve seen backstage there isn’t a team on this roster worthy of sharing the ring with myself and Bret.” The crowd boo the arrogant veteran, leading to Melanie Florence on commentary demanding that the crowd show some respect. Bret Heartbreak: “So it doesn’t matter who we face next. Future X, The Northern Lights, “Your New Favourite Team”…” That last one was said mockingly. “For our opponents, it will only end in Heartbreak.” Rating: 40 Bali Daljit VS Joey “The Breeze” Beauchamp Bali Daljit gave a good account of himself here, pushing Beauchamp hard in this match up. The British-Indian cruiserweight had the best of the early exchanges, with his high energy, high flying offence putting his 44 year old opponent on the back foot. Daljit looked to push home his advantage as he landed a roundhouse kick to the head of his opponent, and headed straight to the top rope for his patented Shooting Star Press. The delivery was picture perfect, but “The Breeze” was able to roll out of the way and Baljit ate nothing but canvas. The cruiserweight struggled back to his feet but turned right into a Breeze Block, giving the former 4-time UEW World Champion a second successive victory. Rating: 39 After the match, Joey Beauchamp calmly signaled for a microphone from ringside. Joey Beauchamp: “It’s about time I was shown some respect around here…” The NWF crowd begin to boo as the 44 year old veteran continues. Joey Beauchamp: “I am a Four-Time World Champion… yet blokes like Nate Manchester, who’s never won a Singles Title in his 16 year career, are ahead of ME in the queue? Something ain’t right. If Leo Price wants to keep putting chumps like this...” He kicks a downed Bali Daljit disrespectfully to emphasise his point. “In front of me, I’ll keep knocking them down until I find someone worthy of sharing this ring with me… because I am cool, I am The Breeze.” Rating: 39 JK Lee & Padraig O’Hearne VS Your New Favourite Team (Jonni Leyland & Johnny Highspot) NWF Tag Team Quarter Final This was the third Quarter Final of the Tag Team Tournament, which saw the young team of JK Lee and Padraig O’Hearne take on veterans Jonni Leyland and Johnny Highspot. It was the younger team who dominated the contest, as they showcased their technical skills and took the contest to the mat. Jonni Leyland tried to launch a comeback late on, but a missed Clothesline saw JK Lee catch him in a Crossface and the veteran had no choice but to tap out. Rating: 43 Next up we had a pre-recorded video showing grime star Darius Moss hard at work in the studio. While Moss doesn’t speak directly to camera, one of the songs from his new album plays over the top of the video and makes reference to his wrestling persona “Dangermouth”. A strapline appears at the bottom of the screen: Dangermouth Coming Soon Rating: 54 We go back to the ring, and Chuck Frisby is stood with microphone in hand alongside Dwayne Dark. Chuck Frisby: “I look around the audience tonight and it’s clear to see that none of you took my advice and joined Frisby’s Foundation to Fitness program!” The crowd boo the personal trainer, which Frisby ignored – instead motioning to his client Dwayne Dark. Chuck Frisby: “I assumed that after my inspirational performance last week, the sign ups would come flooding in… but since you people obviously still need convincing, my client here has agreed to help showcase the benefits of signing up to my patented diet and workout plan. For the low, low price of £9.99 a month, you too could look like this Adonis of a man!” Dwayne Dark flexes his ripped muscles for the benefit of the crowd. Chuck Frisby: “So don’t delay and join today! My name is Chuck Frisby, and I’m here to tackle England’s obesity crisis one person at a time.” Rating: 32 Welsh Dragon vs Dwayne Dark w/ Chuck Frisby Dwayne Dark’s opponent was none other than former 21CW star Welsh Dragon. The Welshman started the contest at a lightning pace, catching his larger opponent off guard. However, a huge right hand from Dwayne Dark took the wind out of Welsh Dragon’s sails, and the pace of the match slowed right down as Dark took control. While his client continued to control the match, Chuck Frisby took the time to single out individual members of the audience and bark out exercise instructions. Welsh Dragon had a few glimmers where he looked to break Dwayne Dark’s control of the contest, but the larger man always managed to cut him off before he could build any real momentum. Frisby continued to be animated at ringside, and began to demand that Dwayne Dark lift Welsh Dragon above his shoulders and give him 10 Shoulder Press’s. Dark didn’t look particularly keen on the idea, but nonetheless hauled his Lightweight opponent above his shoulders and began Shoulder Pressing him. Frisby slid into the ring and began loudly counting the reps in his clients ear. As Frisby shouted “SIX”, Welsh Dragon caught everyone off guard by landing a hard kick to Frisby’s temple sending the personal trainer flying. A confused Dwayne Dark looked over at his Personal Trainer to see what had happened, which was just enough of a distraction for Welsh Dragon to shift his weight and roll up his larger opponent into a Flash Pinfall. Referee Roy Worrall made the count, and before Dark knew what had happened Welsh Dragon had stolen the win! Dragon quickly rolled out of the ring, leaving a red-faced Chuck Frisby and a furious Dwayne Dark arguing – much to the delight of the crowd. Frisby could be heard yelling that Dark’s “form must have been wrong” to get rolled up like that! Rating: 45 Future X (Petey Barnes & Eric Future) VS The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious & Riddick Jordan) NWF Tag Team Quarter Final The final Quarter Final of the NWF Tag Team Tournament was competed between two terrific teams. Future X have been teaming for over a decade, and have amassed six Tag Team Title reigns across their times in EWA & ROF. The Northern Lights may not have as much experience as their opponents, but they had already amassed four SNP Tag Team Title reigns over the last five years. The match lived up to expectations, and was a real clash of styles as the hard hitting Vicious & Jordan went up against the high flying Barnes & Future. This was an Open match up, with all four men landing their shots and gaining near falls. The end of the match came as Future X were able to use their experience to isolate Riddick Jordan and hit their Future Shock finisher to earn a hard fought victory. Rating: 57 Jackie Goldstein: “What a match! Future X picking up a huge victory!” Melanie Florence: “I mean they were good, but I’m still backing Byron and Bret…” Jackie Goldstein: “We’ll find out next week, as Future X face off against Byron and Bret Heartbreak in the first of the Semi Finals!” Melanie Florence: “Well it will be Heartbreak for Future X next week!” Jackie Goldstein: “Make sure to join us next week exclusively on WrestleWorld GB to find out!” 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiezness Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Another great show. I liked Chuck Frisby's segment and how he was involved in how his client Dwayne Dark lost the match. I see Welsh Dragon as a really good show stealer. In the NWF British Championship title match between Edison Silva vs Nate Manchester I'd like to see Edison Silva becoming the first champion. Silva is young and he has never won a title, he could be someone who breaks through in NWF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quickly caught my attention even though I'm not much into British Isles in the CVerse. It's interesting what you say about using fun characters and not have to worry too much about performance stats. That's how I feel about my diary right now. If you don't feel free to book the shows because you're in a hurry to deliver high ratings it's going to be difficult to write the stories you really like. Thanks! I think being able to book the storylines you like is important for a diary game. Once you get to the point of having to "game the system" in order to maintain your pop it becomes harder and harder to stay invested in a creative outlet like this. I'm hoping that by starting where I have I'll have enough time to either build a few of my own top guys, or have 21CW give me a couple more guys like Edison Silva to work with before we reach that point!

HiPlus Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Nate Manchester vs Stardust Phil Cox Jon Michael Sharp vs Joey Beauchamp Your New Favourite Team (Jonni Leyland & Johnny Highspot) vs The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious & Riddick Jordan) ??? vs Chuck Frisby & Dwayne Dark Normally I would back the ???? and realistically I should. But Chuck is money and Dwayne Dark. Well he ain't fat. Tag Team Tournament Semi Final: Future X (Petey Barnes & Eric Future) vs The Heartbreaks (Byron & Bret Heartbreak) Heartbreaks get that mic time and Byron & Bret are too beautiful.
