NWF: Disrupting The Market


Recommended Posts

The Foundation (Jon Michael Sharp & Martin Heath) vs XS & Aurelian Bradley
XS/Aurelian seem to have slotted into the role that State of Mind originally had, which is a good place for them since they have chemistry together and are both young enough to develop on their backs for a bit.

Christopher Lister vs Lone Wolf
AWOOOOOOOO

The Youth Bandits (Cannonball Logan & Ian Vincible) vs State Of Mind (Brilliant White & Ultra Violence)
I'm behind the State of Mind push

'The Prodigy' Darin Flynn w/ Mark Moore vs Evan Alpass w/ Marbella
I believe this is a face vs face match, and Darin stands above Evan on the card from what I've seen so far

Your Announce Team: Jackie Goldstein & Melanie Florence

 

Jackie Goldstein: “Hello and welcome back to National Wrestling! My name is Jackie Goldstein, and joining me at ringside is Melanie Florence.”

Melanie Florence: “Thanks Jackie. We had two major announcements last week on the way to Victory. First we found out Grace of Fire would be the number one contenders for the British Tag Team Titles, and then Edison Silva was confirmed as the man who would challenge for Landon Mallory’s British Heavyweight Championship!”

Jackie Goldstein: “I can’t wait Melanie, and there’s still three weeks to go!”

The Foundation (Jon Michael Sharp & Martin Heath) w/ Mark Moore VS XS & Bradley

A strong opening match here, as the competitors Worked The Crowd. Both teams showed great chemistry with their partners, utilising frequent tags and regular double team moves to keep their opponents guessing. XS & Bradley put in another strong showing as they continued to gain experience as a team, but it was The Foundation who once again proved that they were one of the top teams in the division as they hit their Disarmer to pick up the victory.

Winners: The Foundation (Jon Michael Sharp & Martin Heath)

Boos filled the arena as Cruiserweight World Cup winner Edison Silva made his way to the ring accompanied by his legal advisor Mo Adebola. Edison Silva was once again draped in the Brazilian flag, much to the disgust of the partisan crowd.

Mo Adebola: “Landon Mallory, last week you told my client and I that you would teach us some respect… but I argue that it is you who needs to be taught some respect.”

The crowd predictably booed this argument, and Mo Adebola waited for the boos to die down before continuing.

Mo Adebola: “Because while you walk around with the British Heavyweight Championship on your shoulder, you are NOT the man here in the NWF… and you are NOT the man here in the NWF for one simple reason – you have never defeated my client! In fact NOBODY in the NWF has defeated my client.”

The boos picked up again, causing another pause.

Mo Adebola: “These people may not like it, but the fact remains. My client has never been pinned, submitted or counted out by anybody on this roster. He has been victorious in every one-on-one contest he has every competed in… including against YOU! And at the aptly named ‘Victory’ – he will be victorious once again!”

Christopher Lister VS Lone Wolf

Christopher Lister had set this challenge last week in an attempt to restore balance to The Force, but after this match The Force was left more out of balance than ever as the savage power of Lone Wolf tore through Lister. Like his partner before him, Lister was unable to foresee the incoming punches – and could do nothing to prevent dark side users Full Nelson Slam.

JaseCole_alt1.jpg.3bb3f1ca0ddadfe3f6808c8f70422af9.jpg

Post-match Jase Cole ran down to protect his partner, but the lights cut out and Lone Wolf had once again disappeared into the darkness.

Winner: Lone Wolf

We cut backstage to find The British Bangers excitedly talking about Leighton Buzzard’s successful title defence against JK Lee in last weeks Main Event. The pair continued to babble on, until a third party joined their conversation.

DamianDastardly.jpg.3765afcd307d86a2a5a55e0b85ec79f4.jpg

Damian Dastardly: “Congratulations on the win last week Leighton, it really was a… Banger

Leighton excitedly thanked Dastardly, before stating that he wished he could feel the rush of putting on bangers like that every week!

Damian Dastardly: “Well why not? You are the champion after all…”

A look of wonderment crossed the face of Leighton Buzzard – weekly bangers, it was more than he had ever dreamed! But where would he find an opponent?

Damian Dastardly (smirking): “Who better to put on a banger than The British Bangers?”

Leighton Buzzard and Grant Taypen could barely contain their excitement as they excused themselves, saying they needed to go and talk to Frank Finkleton. Grant Taypen rushed off, with Leighton Buzzard a few steps behind him – leaving Damian Dastardly alone with a dastardly grin across his face.

The Youth Bandits (Cannonball Logan & Ian Vincible) VS State Of Mind (Brilliant White & Ultra Violence)

State Of Mind returned to National Wrestling in spectacular fashion, appearing in a blinding flash of (brilliant) white light that filled the arena – Brilliant White wearing his Phantom of the Opera inspired mask and Ultra Violence with his cane slung lazily over his shoulder.

The returning team put in an impressive performance, with Ultra Violence taking advantage of referee Roy Worrall’s turned back to hit Cannonball Logan with his trusty cane. With Logan down, Brilliant White was able to hit his White Out (Swanton Bomb) and make the pin,

We cut away to the offices of Moore’s Sports Agencies, where Darin Flynn was once again discussing his love of Japanese wrestling with Akihiro Hisato. Hisato politely nodded along, but with his broken English who knows how much of the conversation he was following…

Darin Flynn continued to gush about some of the best wrestlers in Japanese history, before asking if Hisato knew any of the big names of Japanese wrestling?

DarinFlynn.jpg.03d80b356998fbc4ecac3ba2274e8325.jpg MarkMoore.jpg.de457598130e597ac9eb27615eb884b4.jpg AkihiroHisato.jpg.39fad9e96875c7fdb95adf9273a32f63.jpg

Akihiro Hisato: “Big Japanese wrestler?”

Darin Flynn: “Yes do you know any of the big wrestlers back in Japan?”

Akihiro Hisato (bowing his head): “Yes I know very big Japanese wrestler!”

Darin Flynn: “Is he a bigger name than your father?”

Akihiro Hisato (nodding): “Much bigger than my father. Much bigger!”

Darin Flynn got incredibly excited and asked Akihiro Hisato if he could meet this wrestler? Hisato nodded and bowed to Darin Flynn and Mark Moore before leaving the office.

(C) Leighton Buzzard VS Grant Taypen

NWF Cruiserweight Championship

We come back to the ring for an impromptu Cruiserweight Title match, signed off by network executive Frank Finkleton at the request of the champion. Both members of The British Bangers went All Out to put on a show. Leighton Buzzard seemed slightly hampered by his back, still feeling the effects of the Crossface JK Lee had locked in during last months main event, but the champion was still able to execute a picture perfect Dropkick! Bang! And another! Bang! The champion clambered to the top rope, before delivering his Buzz Off (Diving Tornado DDT) to secure a second successful title defence in as many weeks.

Winner: Leighton Buzzard – Title Defence #2

Chuck Frisby: “That’s what we’ve got to hit next week Dwayne. You beat him in his own gym and show him who’s boss!”

Dwayne Dark: “Those are some big numbers boss…”

Chuck Frisby: “You’ll be fine! With the Frisby Foundation for Fitness training program, you can’t fail!”

With that Chuck Frisby turned to the camera.

Chuck Frisby: “My name is Chuck Frisby, and I’m here to tackle England’s obesity crisis – one gym record at a time!”

We will return to Olympia gym next week for the monthly lifting meet!

We cut to an old countryside pub full of older gentlemen wearing tweed suits and enjoying dark pints of flat beer. We had last seen this pub back in April when Byron and Joey Beauchamp had been plotting how to deal with their Dangermouth problem. Today it was just Byron sat alone at a table, no closer to solving his problem and with a bunch of empty pint glasses around him.

Byron.jpg.1dec5bcfec138181fcc81904aaab718a.jpg

The pub door opened and Bret Heartbreak walked through the door, sans Holly Leves. Bret scanned around the pub before finally locating his father.

BretHeartbreak.jpg.62189b2e7fe1bbc39d5cbf37356e1760.jpg

Byron: “You know back in Europe I’m wrestling royalty. But here, in my home country, they cast me out – doomed to drink in places like this. All because of one man…”

Bret Heartbreak: “Dylan Drama?”

Byron: “Dylan? What, no! Darius Moss! He’s to blame for all of this. And you mark my words Bret, I will have my revenge!”

‘The Prodigy’ Darin Flynn w/ Mark Moore VS Evan Alpass w/ Marbella

Evan Alpass was accompanied for this match by Marbella, the girl he had met at the Nate Manchester Retirement Party last week. Marbella danced and encouraged whenever Alpass was on top, which slowly saw the crowd get behind her client - as Mark Moore seemed unwilling to dance for the crowds entertainment when ‘The Prodigy’ took back control.

Darin Flynn and Evan Alpass had teamed briefly during their time in 21CW, and perhaps this familiarity contributed to the great chemistry they showed between the ropes. The momentum went back and forth, but ultimately it was the Technical skill of Darin Flynn that won out – as ‘The Prodigy’ was able to lock in his Prodigal Pressure just after the ten minute mark and, despite Marbella’s encouragement, Alpass had no choice but to tap out.

Winner: Darin Flynn

Darin Flynn celebrated his victory, and Jackie Goldstein began to sign off the episode… but was cut off as ‘Big Mac’ Nathan McKenzie stormed the ring and jumped ‘The Prodigy’ from behind.

NathanMcKenzie.jpg.e574ddd24688353ab0e9505518d84f24.jpg

With Flynn out of the picture, Big Mac turned his attention to Evan Alpass. The big Australian scooped Alpass onto his shoulder to deliver a Snake Eyes to the top turnbuckle, before bouncing off the far ropes to deliver his Spear! Alpass writhed in pain, as Big Mac screamed at Marbella at ringside.

‘Big Mac’ Nathan McKenzie: “What do you think of him now?”

Marbella looked concerned at ringside, but seemed too scared to check on Alpass with Big Mac still in the ring.

Rating: 59

 

Melanie Florence: “Evan Alpass needs to learn to leave other wrestlers women alone…”

Jackie Goldstein: “I don’t think Big Mac was doing too hot with Marbella even before Evan Alpass showed up…”

Melanie Florence: “Do you want to be the one to tell him that?”

Jackie Goldstein: “No thank you…”

Exactly right @John Lions. XS and Bradley have the benefit of having chemistry, but don't have that clear dynamic that State Of Mind now have in my head. Along with Evan Alpass, XS & Bradley are two guys I'm actively trying to find a character hook for.

Grace of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit) vs State of Mind (Brilliant White & Ultra Violence)

On one hand I want to say State of Mind, but Grace of Fire has a tag title match soon so I will go with them.

Stardust Phil Cox vs Padraig O'Hearne

Looks likes Padraig is getting a win since I can't remember is Phil has won any matches in NWF.

Weekly Banger Open Challenge - NWF Cruiserweight Championship: Leighton Buzzard (C) vs Akihiro Hisato

Akihiro continues to pays his dues and loses another match, but at least it should be a banger.

Dangermouth vs ???

I assume this is a local talent so easy win for Dangermouth, though I do think that Byron is going to try something against him in the near future.

Non-Title Match: Landon Mallory vs JK Lee

Even if Padraig doesn't show up to cost Lee, he still doesn't stand a chance against The Springbok.

Your Announce Team: Jackie Goldstein & Melanie Florence

 

Jackie Godldstein: “Hello and welcome back to National Wrestling! My name is Jackie Goldstein, and joining me at ringside is Melanie Florence!”

Melanie Florence: “Thanks Jackie! We have a huge night of wrestling ahead of us. Leighton Buzzard’s Weekly Banger challenge continues, and tonight its second generation Japanese wrestler Akihiro Hisato who answers the Cruiserweight champions call!”

Jackie Goldstein: “Could we also see the big Japanese star Hisato promised Darin Flynn last week?”

Melanie Florence: “Anythings possible Jackie! But we kick off tonight’s show with the number one contenders for the British Tag Team Titles – Grace of Fire, as they face the intriguing duo of Dylan Drama and Joey Beauchamp!”

Grace of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit) VS High Society (Dylan Drama & Joey Beauchamp)

Dylan Drama started the match for his team, and despite spending six months travelling around Mexico on his gap year he could do nothing to stop the lucha-inspired moveset of Welsh Dragon. Dylan was on the receiving end of Arm Drags, Drop Toe Holds, Hurricanranas, and more Arm Drags – before he was finally able to make the tag to Joey Beauchamp.

‘The Breeze’ was far more willing to get down and dirty, and tried to combat Welsh Dragon’s lightning quick kicks with good, old fashioned right hands. Beauchamp had an element of success, but was kept off balance by the frequent tags of his opponents. The fast pace of the match eventually caught up to the veteran, and Beauchamp was forced to tag Dylan Drama back into the match – who ran straight into one of Welsh Dragon’s lightning-quick kicks. With Drama out, the Welshman tagged in Bali Daljit – who headed straight for the top rope to deliver his Shooting Star Press, a move the Indian executes with rare grace, to secure a win for the number one contenders.

Winners: Grace of Fire (Welsh Dragon & Bali Daljit)

We cut to a video showing the outside of the Olympia Strength & Conditioning Gym. We cut inside to find Chuck Frisby signing Dwayne Dark up to the gyms July lifting meet.

Chuck Frisby (excitedly): “Feeling strong today Dwayne… what’s it going to be – Squat? Deadlift? Bench?”

Dwayne Dark (cutting across the personal trainer): “Bench.”

Chuck grinned and hastily signed his client up to the Bench Press portion of the meet.

**************

The video cut to the final two competitors. Dwayne Dark and an unknown member of the Olympia gym were attempting to clear 140kg on the Bench Press. The gym member stepped up first and couldn’t even move the bar off his chest. Chuck Frisby and Dwayne Dark stepped up next, both wearing their Frisby Foundation for Fitness branded tee shirts, with Frisby hyping his client up.

Chuck Frisby: “You’ve got this Dwayne! Hit this one and you win the meet…”

frisbytee.thumb.png.af94b940296e3e52bb4c92a89601c420.png

Frisby pounded the logo on Darks chest, which looked like it mildly irritated his client – but that didn’t stop Dark executing the lift and winning the meet. The surrounding audience applauded politely as Frisby hollered.

Chuck Frisby: “We’re not done yet! That gym record is ours!”

Frisby’s statement was met with skepticism, but the bar was set up for the attempt.

********

Frisby hyped Dark up as he got under the 190kg bar, with an army of spotters surrounding the bench. Dark took three deep breaths, before attempting the lift. The bar barely moved off Darks’ chest before his arms gave out, and the spotters had to bail him out.

There was a polite round of applause as Dark was announced as the July winner for the Olympia Bench Press competition, but Chuck Frisby was visibly deflated as he slunk off leaving Dark to shake hands with his competitors…

Stardust Phil Cox VS Padraig O’Hearne

Padraig O’Hearne was looking to turn around his recent fortunes against a returning Stardust Phil Cox, after the Irishman had been dumped by former tag team partner JK Lee two weeks ago. This was an entertaining contest as Stardust Phil Cox flew around the ring, but eventually O’Hearne was able to get his hands on the Skinny Lightweight and hit his Crowning Glory (Swinging Fishermans Neckbreaker) to pick up the victory.

Naozane Goto walked into shot, who Japanese wrestling fans would know from Black Canvas Grappling. A former sumo wrestler, Goto weighed in at 380lb – towering over Flynn and Moore. The Big Heavyweight bowed to both men, before following Akihiro Hisato to ringside for his match with the NWF Cruiserweight Champion Leighton Buzzard.

There was a brief awkward silence, before Mark Moore turned to his client and quipped.

Mark Moore: “Well he certainly is ‘big’…”

(C) Leighton Buzzard VS Akihiro Hisato w/ Naozane Goto

NWF Cruiserweight Championship

Naozane Goto was at ringside for this one, supporting fellow Japanese wrestler Akihiro Hisato - the latest man to accept Leighton Buzzard’s ‘weekly banger’ open challenge. While the Bulky Big Heavyweight didn’t get involved in the match, it did give the NWF fans their first glimpse of the former Sumo wrestler in the flesh. Seeing Goto alongside a pair of Cruiserweights really accentuated the Japanese wrestlers’ massive size.

In the ring, Akihiro Hisato was once again able to show off the graceful attack style he had inherited form his father – the legendary The Great Hisato. The Japanese youngster was great to watch in full flow, and pushed Leighton Buzzard close in this one – but it was the champion who was able to hit his Buzz Off (Diving Tornado DDT) to retain his title.

Winner: Leighton Buzzard – Title Defence #3

We cut away to the office of Frank Finkleton, where JK Lee was demanding that the network executive give him a match tonight! He needed to show his former tag team partner he was the better man, following Padraig O’Hearne’s victory earlier in the night.

However, before Finkleton could respond another voice came from out of shot.

Mo Adebola (to JK Lee): “If you really want to show him who’s boss, you need to beat someone bigger and better than Padraig did!”

JK nodded along in agreement.

Frank Finkleton (disdainfully): “You sound like you have someone in mind Mo…”

Mo Adebola: “I know a certain British Heavyweight Champion who said himself that he would take on anyone, anytime…”

Dangermouth VS Local Talent

Dangermouth returned for his first match on National Wrestling since March. The Grime Star got a good reaction from the crowd and made quick work of his local opponent, hitting his Flatliner (Reverse STO) to secure a routine victory.

We cut backstage to the interview zone, where the British Heavyweight Champion was waiting with Rachel Dearheart.

LandonMallory.jpg.8a8b28a044d7eda787a5fa00241aa95c.jpg

Rachel Dearheart: “Last week Mo Adebola emphasised the fact that his client remains undefeated in singles competition, and has never been pinned or submitted in the NWF. Does this intimidate you heading into your title defence at ‘Victory’?”

Landon Mallory: “Mo Adebola said a lot of things last week Rachel, but he also brushed over some key details… like the fact that the only reason Edison Silva beat me last time we faced was that Mo Adebola stepped in between us to block the Springbok Ram!”

Rachel Dearheart: “Mo Adebola played a big role in setting up your upcoming match with JK Lee. Are you worried about fighting someone of Lee’s caliber only 10 days out from ‘Victory’?”

Landon Mallory: “Rachel, I’ve said before I’m a fighting champion – I’ll face anyone, anytime, anyplace! I’m not denying that JK Lee is a master technician, but – as I’m sure Mo Adebola could tell you - I’m still yet to meet anyone who can withstand the Springbok Ram! Yebo!

‘The Springbok’ Landon Mallory VS ‘The Bulldog’ JK Lee

The fans were given a treat in the Main Event, as Landon Mallory & JK Lee put on one of the best matches in NWF history. The story of the match was JK Lee using his technical skills and tenacity to keep ‘The Springbok’ pinned to the mat for the majority of the contest. This kept the crowd quiet, until Mallory started his fightback. The crowd clapped along as the South African battled back to his feet, but JK Lee countered by locking in a Standing Headlock. The crowd then cheered as Mallory delivered hard elbows to Lee’s midsection, followed by a Clothesline that turned Lee inside out.

Mallory scooped ‘The Bulldog’ onto his shoulder for a Running Powerslam, before beating his chest to whip the crowd into a frenzy. The Springbok stalked his prey, before delivering a thunderous ‘Springbok Ram’ – and as the champion likes to point out, nobody kicks out of that!

Winner: Landon Mallory

Rating: 74

 

Jackie Goldstein: “What a match! JK Lee pushed The Springbok to the limit tonight!”

Melanie Florence: “Mo Adebola and Edison Silva will have enjoyed watching that only ten days out from their title match at ‘Victory’!”

Wow! That rating was impressive. I'm starting to think JK Lee has something to do with it because he had a great match vs Leighton Buzzard recently too. The big name Hishato was talking about was a bigger man LOL! I expected something like that TBH. Landon Mallory is as good in promos as he is in-ring, what a great champion for NWF. I wonder if you should make him your figurehead.

Thanks @newbiezness! JK Lee in-ring performances are consistently in the mid-50s, it's just a shame he has the charisma of a block of wood (and the star quality too)! While he'll never be a top guy, Lee is a really useful Upper Midcard kind of guy, who I can always trust to put on a great match. He's great for TV Main Events or lower PPV feuds with top guys not doing much.

Yeah... it's a dumb pun, but it made me chuckle. Both Akihiro Hisato & Naozane Goto were @KyTeran's picks to make available to work in the UK as a prediction prize back in December. A throwaway line in Darin Flynn's bio about working a very Japanese style linked the group together, and led here.

Landon Mallory is amazing! He just keeps getting better and better. He's now worked his way up to a perception of 'Star', but I believe you need to be a 'Major Star' to be a successful figurehead. He has all the tools to do it though, so once he gets to 'Major Star' it's definitely something I will look at!

A lot of love for State Of Mine! But as @KyTeran says, Grace of Fire are two weeks out from a British Tag Titles shot, and needed the win more. I have plans for State of Mind, they will be back!

Stardust Phil Cox VS ‘The Celtic Hammer’ Stuart Wilson

After seeing Dwayne Dark fail to beat his Bench Press record last week, Stuart Wilson returned to in-ring action against Stardust Phil Cox to open the show. Wilson’s impressive power was on full display, as he caught an attempted Cross Body from Stardust Phil Cox – reversing it into a Body Slam. Wilson then hoisted Cox one armed onto his shoulder for his Bronze Bomber (Running Powerslam) to secure an emphatic victory.

The personal trainer turned to Dwayne Dark, and told his client not to worry he had permission from Frank Finkleton this time!

Chuck Frisby: “Entry is free, and if you are able to lift any of these weights…” Frisby motioned at the whiteboard. “Then I will personal pay for a years Gym membership at a gym of my choosing!

(C) Leighton Buzzard VS ‘Black Thunder’ Jermaine Granger

NWF Cruiserweight Championship

Leighton Buzzard’s Weekly Banger Open Challenge had gone Nationwide, and Jermaine Granger of CWW had answered the call! Trained by British Samarai, the Ring Of Fire dojo graduate had spent the past two years gaining experience in Wigan.

Granger worked a fast paced style, which would normally suit Leighton Buzzard – but the Cruiserweight champion seemed to still be suffering from the bad back he suffered from JK Lee’s crossface a couple of weeks ago. This allowed Jermaine Granger to take control of the early portion of the match, before Buzzard turned the match back in his favour with a picture perfect Dropkick. Bang! And another! Bang! Buzzard clambered to the top rope to deliver his Buzz Off (Diving Tornado DDT), but felt his back again as he rolled into the cover and retained his title.

Winner: Leighton Buzzard – Title Defence #4

Post match, referee Roy Worrall handed Leighton Buzzard his title – but the celebrations were immediately cut short by Damian Dastardly, who jumped Buzzard from behind and immediately began laying the boots into the champion.

DamianDastardly.jpg.8f5140163256f84edd298a0d79e77e46.jpg

The crowd booed as Dastardly locked in a Camel Cluch to really target the already injured back of Leighton Buzzard. The champion screamed out in pain, until Grant Taypen appeared from the back to run off Dastardly. ‘The Diabolical’ one bailed from the ring and grabbed a microphone to address The British Bangers on his way to the back.

Damian Dastardly: “It seems we both got exactly what we wanted out of these past few weeks Leighton. You got your “Weekly Bangers’, and I softened you up heading into ‘Victory’. You see I’ve had an agreement with Frank Finkleton since I agreed to stay with the NWF, that I would be the man to challenge you this Sunday! And my plan to make that job as easy as possible has been perfect. It’s been diabolical… and it’s been straight up dastardly!”

Future X (Petey Barnes & Eric Future) vs XS & Aurelian Bradley

XS and Aurelian Bradley once again showed great chemistry teaming together, and were able to push the former British Tag Team champions all the way in this match.

Byron: “I said I’d only face you when I was ready. Well guess what? I’m ready now! I’ll see you on Sunday Darius!”

Byron delivered one last boot to the head of Dangermouth, knocking the grime star out cold – before skulking off as security came running over to help Dangermouth.

Bret Heartbreak continued his mini winning steak here, with a convincing victory against a local wrestler. The choice to focus solely on singles competition certainly seems to have paid off for Bret, as he hit his Heart Attack (Tope Rop Diving Clothesline) to round out the win.

The crowd erupted as the music of the British Heavyweight Champion blared over the speakers. Landon Mallory made his way down to the ring, high fiving as many members of the crowd as he could on his way.

LandonMallory.jpg.16d13111ab26e785243746b92bcfc838.jpg

Landon Mallory: “There’s been a lot of talk about respect over the past month, so I just wanted to make one thing clear ahead of our match on Sunday – and that is that I respect the hell out of Edison Silva as a competitor.”

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, clearly not sure what to make of the champions statement.

Landon Mallory: “Between these ropes, there is no doubt that Edison Silva is one of the very best in the NWF. His in ring ability has never been in question – the issue I have with Edison Silva is his attitude outside of the ring. I’ve seen how he’s treated you fans, I’ve seen how he’s treated the boys in the back, I’ve seen how he’s treated the country of his birth, and I’ve seen how he’s treated this title. Edison Silva doesn’t respect anyone or anything. It’s partly what makes him so dangerous, but it’s also what makes him vulnerable… and after I hit him with the Springbok Ram this Sunday and pin him to the mat – 1… 2… 3! Edison Silva will have no choice but to respect me! Yebo!

Grace of Fire & Evan Alpass w/ Marbella VS The Network (Nathan McKenzie & The Northern Lights)

Despite this match taking place only four days prior to their big matches at ‘Victory’, where Evan Alpass was scheduled to face ‘Big Mac’ Nathan McKenzie and Grace of Fire would challenge The Northern Lights for the British Tag Titles, all six men held nothing back. Welsh Dragon and Bali Daljit flew around the ring, while Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan brawled and shook the ring with their impactful Suplexes. ‘Big Mac’ Nathan McKenzie still seemed annoyed at the attention Evan Alpass had received from Marbella, constantly making a point to shout across at the young valet whenever he took down Alpass.

The match broke down around the seven minute mark, with all six men brawling throughout the building. Evan Alpass was brawling with Riddick Jordan on the floor outside the ring, when the tag champion went for an Overhead Suplex – but the release was awkward, and there was a loud crack as Evan Alpass landed hard.

This seemed to result in a rushed finish, as Marbella hopped onto the ring apron and motioned for Big Mac to ‘come hither’ with her index finger. The big Australian looked delighted, but was caught completely off guard as Marbella slapped the taste out of his mouth! Completely disorientated, Big Mac could do nothing to stop the Dragon Kick (Spinning Thrust Kick from the top rope) from Welsh Dragon – before Bali Daljit followed up with his Shooting Star Press, a move he delivers with rare grace, to put the exclamation point on the victory.

Grace of Fire celebrated in the ring, while Evan Alpass received medical treatment on the outside….

Winners: Grace Of Fire & Evan Alpass

Rating: 53

 

Jackie Goldstein: “A huge victory for Grace of Fire over The Network, only four days ahead of their British Tag Team title shot at ‘Victory’! If Bali Daljit hits that Shooting Star Press on Sunday we could have new tag champions!”

Melanie Florence: “And Landon Mallory has promised to teach Edison Silva a lesson in respect in Sunday’s Main Event… but you just know Mo Adebola will have a trick or two up his sleeve for the South African!”

Jackie Goldstein: “Speaking of people who need to learn some respect, Damian Dastardly will challenge for the Cruiserweight Championship! He has tricked Leighton Buzzard into weakening himself heading into the event… can the champion pull out another banger and hold onto his title?”

Melanie Florence: “And of course, Byron will finally have the chance to get his hands on that disrespectful good-for-nothing Darius Moss! It’s going to be so much fun to watch!”

Jackie Goldstein: “And what about Evan Alpass and Nathan McKenzie? Marbella cost Big Mac the match with that slap tonight! You’ve got to think the Australian will want revenge! So many talking points heading into Sunday… you won’t want to miss it!”

Evan Alpass injury confirmed as Broken Arm / Changes to ‘Victory’ Plans

NWF last night confirmed that the injury suffered by Evan Alpass as the latest taping of ‘National Wrestling’ was a broken arm. The injury is expected to keep Alpass out of action for between 2-3 months. Alpass is said to blame Riddick Jordan for the injury after a botched Suplex, and the pair are said to have ‘simmering tension’ backstage.

The injury has thrown plans for this Sunday’s ‘Victory’ event into turmoil, with the planned Alpass/Big Mac match no longer able to go ahead creative are said to be scrambling around to rewrite the card at short notice. It has been confirmed that the injury was also the reason for the rushed ending to last nights National Wrestling main event, with the planned finish being for Alpass to pin ‘Big Mac’ Nathan McKenzie heading into their match at the PLE.

Wrestling moves into PG Era

This week saw the new PG guidance rating for both 21CW ‘Best Of British Wrestling’ and SWF ‘Supreme TV’ come into effect. Both companies have been transitioning their product over the past few weeks ahead of the planned change, and hope to toe-the-line between bringing new eyes to their product, and not driving away their existing fan base.

I'm really surprised that the plan was for Alpass to pin Big Mac. The PG Era move from 21CW and SWF won't change your product strategy, right?

The original plan was for Alpass to win via Marbella distraction in the multiman match, then Big Mac get a 'get your head in the game' pep talk from Frank Finkleton and destroy Alpass at 'Victory'. Big Mac would definitely win the feud, but Alpass was a similar pop level so I didn't just want it to be a walkover.

The PG stuff from 21CW/SWF won't change anything I have planned, the articles are more just for 'world building'. On a semi-related topic - I'm thinking of doing a little overview of what the big companies have done since the diary started after 'Victory'. Signings, releases, title changes etc. Is that something people would be interested in seeing, or should I not bother? 😅

That's what I thought it was and it's cool, I like those articles. And yes, you should do it in my opinion. In my case I would like to know what's doing 21CW, SNP, CWW...

Perfect, I'll do a bit of a British wrestling scene roundup after Victory is posted :)

What's Mallory POP in Britain atm?

Landon Mallory's pop is ~40 in Southern England, and between 35-39 in the other regions in Britain - which makes him a Star in th fans eyes.

For comparison, my most popular wrestler is Edison Silva who has 52 pop in Southern England, and between 45-52 in the other regions in Britain.

Grace of Fire & Evan Alpass w/ Marbella vs The Network (Nathan McKenzie & The Northern Lights)

I can see Evan eating the pin here, but I don't see anyone on The Network eating the pin.

Nobody expected The Network to lose here. As I touched on above, Alpass came in with some decent pop from 21CW so I didn't want Big Mac to walk all over him - even if I did want Big Mac to win the feud. The excuse here would have been the slap from Marbella catching him off guard and allowing Alpass to hit his finisher. Obviously plans had to change due to Alpass' injury, which actually affected the next month of booking quite heavilt - starting with the card for Victory!

 

Thank you to everyone who commented, predicted and reacted to the latest episode of National Wrestling, I really do appreciate it! Victory marks the 50th show of the diary, so the top 3 of this round of predictions will all receive a prize - so it's still all to play for heading into the final event of the contest! With nobody picking the Main Event, there were no perfect scores this round - but I hope to see everyone back for Victory!
