Uncrewed Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 15 hours ago, Wrestling Machine said: Matt Riddle vs Bryan Keith gets 79? lol curious to see their stats and pop Jacob Fatu needs a rocket strapped to him That was mostly thanks to Riddle. The product is Pop > Perf at like a 65:35 split, so Riddle's good for that (and he's got good in-ring stats). Next episode of NWA Main Event will be up tomorrow featuring the finals of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender's Tournament between Matt Riddle & Nic Nemeth. It's also the final stop before NWA Revolution, so it's sure to be a big one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncrewed Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 NWA Main Event- February 22nd, 2024 Attendance: 1,000 at Dusty Studios (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Commentary Team: Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett It's time for another exciting episode of NWA Main Event! The Dusty Studios crowd is rocking as Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett run down the card for tonight. After that's all said and done, 'The Natural' Nic Nemeth's music hits as he & Salina de la Renta make their way down to the ring. Salina grabs a microphone and tells the booing crowd to silence themselves because they are in the presence of 'The Natural!' Salina then hands the microphone to Nic Nemeth, who begins to talk about his match tonight with Matt Riddle. Nemeth says that he's seen Riddle's wins over Bryan Keith and Jacob Fatu and with all due respect to those two, they're not even close to his level! Nemeth says that it is his destiny to win tonight against Riddle and then beat his friend Matt Cardona to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! Before Nemeth can continue... Matt Riddle interrupts! Riddle makes his way down to the ring to a chorus of "BRO! BRO! BRO!" chants before grabbing a microphone. Riddle says that he's known Nic for a while now and it's always the same thing coming out of his mouth. It's always about how Nic's better than everyone and that it's his destiny to win, but whenever he loses it's all excuses. Riddle says that tonight will be more of the same after he's done with Nemeth. Nemeth interrupts, telling him that's where he's wrong, because there's absolutely no scenario where he loses to Riddle tonight! Nemeth tries to talk about why he's the top dog in the National Wrestling Alliance, but Riddle interrupts him to finish things off... Matt Riddle: "BRO! SHUT THE HELL UP! Everyone here is tired of your waffling and I'll be more than happy to shut you up in tonight's main event!" VS Mercedes Mone & The Von Erichs vs Tenille Dashwood & MxM Mone & Tenille will be squaring off the NWA World Women's Championship at NWA Revolution this Sunday, while The Von Erichs will be facing MxM for the NWA World Tag Team Championship at the same event. As such, NWA management put this match together as a bit of a preview match for Revolution! This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Mone & The Von Erichs. Mone & Tenille started things off, but Tenille immediately tagged out to a flabbergasted Mansoor. Mansoor got in the ring and immediately got into a grappling contest with Marshall Von Erich, in which Marshall got the upper hand. Marshall began wrenching Mansoor's arm before tagging out to Ross. The brothers hit Mansoor with a double suplex, but before Ross could do any more offense, Mansoor thumbed him in the eye and tagged out to Madden. Madden got in the ring, ran off the ropes, and blasted Ross with a big boot. The match came to an end when Madden lifted up Ross for a powerbomb, but Ross rolled through it and rolled Madden up for the three! Mercedes & The Von Erichs have stolen a win tonight on Main Event! The three faces stood tall on the ramp as Tenille & MxM stewed in the ring. WINNERS: Mercedes Mone & The Von Erichs After that six-man tag match was over, we cut to a video hyping up a man who will be making his National Wrestling Alliance debut tonight, 'Rock Solid' Alex Hammerstone! The video shows a combination of Hammerstone wrecking dudes in the ring and him crushing it in weightlifting competitions. It finishes with a message from the man himself... Alex Hammerstone: "NWA! ALEX HAMMERSTONE IS HERE AND READY TO ABSOLUTELY DESTROY!!!!" VS Alex Hammerstone vs Bryan Keith This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Hammerstone. Hammerstone brought a surge of electricity to Dusty Studios as he made his way down to the ring, pumping up the crowd to the hottest they've been all night. However, Alex may have been a bit too focused on the crowd, which allowed Bryan Keith to catch him with a big lariat to the back of his head. Keith then threw Hammerstone into the corner and unloaded a barrage of chops into his chest. Keith then scooped up Hammerstone and hit him with a discus elbow smash. That sent Hammerstone crashing into the ropes, but an attempted spinebuster from Keith on the rebound was unsuccessful as Hammerstone was able to reverse it and send Keith flying across the ring with a release belly to belly suplex! Hammerstone then grabbed Keith by his arm, popped him up in the air, and caught him with a powerslam on the way down!!! The match came to an end when Hammerstone lifted up Keith and hit him with his finisher, the Nightmare Pendulum (Sit-Out Hellavator)! Hammerstone then made the cover and got the three! What a debut for Alex Hammerstone! WINNER: Alex Hammerstone NWA World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals Match: w/ VS Nic Nemeth w/Salina de la Renta vs Matt Riddle Nemeth got here by defeating Chris Hero & Mustafa Ali, while Riddle got here by defeating Bryan Keith & Jacob Fatu. Now these two will meet to determine Matt Cardona's opponent at NWA Revolution for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Riddle. Riddle & Nemeth kick things off with some mat-based wrestling. Despite Nemeth's amateur background, Riddle's MMA background was more than enough to win control in this exchange and he started unloading the ground-and-pound onto Nemeth. Nemeth was able to break that up by grabbing the bottom rope. Riddle didn't stop though and referee Mike Chioda was forced to break things up. When Riddle went back to start the ground-and-pound again, Nemeth shoved him into Chioda and then kicked Riddle below the belt! Nemeth then grabbed Riddle and hit him with a jumping DDT, but the ensuing pinfall attempt failed to get the three. Nemeth then began working over Riddle's legs, stomping the living hell out of them. Nemeth then tried locking in a Figure Four Leglock, but Riddle managed to kick him away. The match came to an end when Nemeth ran up to Riddle and attempted the Danger Zone, but Riddle rolled out of the way at the last second. Riddle then snuck up from behind Nemeth and locked him in the Rear Naked Choke! Nemeth clawed for the ropes, but even with Salina de la Renta trying to grab his legs to move him closer to the ropes, it wasn't enough as Nemeth passed out from the pain! Matt Riddle is going to NWA Revolution for a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! WINNER: Matt Riddle After that hellacious match, Matt Riddle celebrated in the ring as the "BRO! BRO! BRO!" chants rained down from the crowd. However, that was quickly interrupted by... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2XuOvlzVHI 'Main Event' Matt Cardona! Cardona walks down to the ring while sarcastically applauding Riddle. The two men then get right up in each others faces, with Cardona telling Riddle that he doesn't know what he just got himself into, while Riddle tells him that he's going to make him tap bro. The two men's tense staredown continues as NWA Main Event comes to a close...

Uncrewed Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 NWA REVOLUTION PREVIEW NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match: VS "Main Event" MATT CARDONA vs "The King of Bros" MATT RIDDLE Matt Cardona was one of the top guys in the old NWA, winning the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, but only holding it for a few months before vacating it due to injury. He was scheduled to receive another shot at the ten pounds of gold, but the NWA went on hiatus before that happened. New NWA President Paul Heyman decided to be generous though and give him that shot tonight against the winner of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender's Tournament, Matt Riddle! The video then shows how Riddle got here by defeating the-now NWA World Television Champion Bryan Keith, the dangerous Jacob Fatu, and the ever-arrogant Nic Nemeth. Now he'll need to put it all together if he wants to win the ten pound of gold. Who will walk out of NWA Revolution with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship? NWA World Women's Championship Match: VS "The CEO" MERCEDES MONE vs "The Influence" TENILLE DASHWOOD Both Mercedes & Tenille have had surprisingly similar careers, from their careers on the indies to their time in the WWE and finally their recent run in the NWA. Tenille beat Kenzie Paige, albeit by cheating, while Mercedes Mone won a hard-fought battle against Megan Bayne to get here. We then get quick promos from each woman, with Tenille saying that Mercedes doesn't deserve the title and Mercedes saying that she's going to be sending Tenille back to her OnlyFans simps after she's done kicking her ass! Who will walk out of NWA Revolution with the NWA World Women's Championship? NWA World Tag Team Championship Match: VS MxM (Mansoor & Mason Madden) vs The Von Erichs (Ross & Marshall Von Erich) When the names for the new NWA tag team division were announced, you couldn't find two more different teams than MxM and The Von Erichs. From the self-centered Mansoor & Mason Madden to the good ol' country boys Ross & Marshall Von Erich, a clash between these two teams was bound to happen at some point. Little did we expect that these two would meet up in the finals of the tournament to determine the new NWA World Tag Team Champions! Which one of these polar opposite tag teams walk out of Revolution with the NWA World Tag Team Titles?

Uncrewed Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Quote PRE-SHOW: Pretty Powerful's Megan Bayne & Steph de Lander defeated Santana Garrett & Kenzie Paige in a decent match after Bayne hit Santana with the Mega Slam. Brady assisted with the cover, giving Pretty Powerful the win in just under 10 minutes. (62/C) NWA Revolution- February 25th, 2024 Attendance: 5,500 at Odeum Expo Center (Villa Park, Illinois) Commentary Team: Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett We kicked things off with a cold open to NWA Revolution. As the crowd chanted "N-W-A! N-W-A!", they were interrupted by a familiar voice... "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" The crowd pops as the President of the National Wrestling Alliance, Paul Heyman, makes his way down to the ring with a microphone and some sort of belt-shaped bag. Heyman introduces himself and then welcomes everyone to the first major event in the new National Wrestling Alliance, NWA Revolution! Heyman runs down the card and thanks the fans for attending here in suburban Chicago and watching at home on TrillerTV before he gets to the real reason why he's out here. Heyman then pulls the belt out of the bag to reveal... The NWA World Television Championship! Heyman says that this is the NWA World Television Championship. It's for all the young and hungry wrestlers in the back who want to prove themselves to the world. Heyman says that he's serious about that too, because there's a special rule with the NWA World Television Championship that he would like to introduce. It's called the "Lucky Seven" Rule, which means that if you can defend the NWA World Television Championship seven times in a row, then you have an automatic shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! Heyman finishes with one more special announcement, the new champ will be determined right now in a four-way match! Heyman then calls for a referee and calls out for "Four of the baddest men in the locker room to compete right now!" and we're under way at NWA Revolution! NWA World Television Championship Match: VS VS VS Alex Hammerstone vs Bryan Keith vs Chris Hero vs Shawn Spears It appears that the four men that have answered Heyman's call are Alex Hammerstone, Bryan Keith, Chris Hero, & Shawn Spears, an interesting mix of young up-and-comers and veterans with something to prove. This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Hammerstone. Keith started things off hot by launching himself at the man who beat him a few nights ago, Alex Hammerstone. The two men then began brawling on the outside while Hero & Spears locked up in the ring. Hero got control of the exchange following a stiff forearm smash to Spears. On the outside, Hammerstone was able to dodge a charging Keith and sent him crashing headfirst into the ringside barricade! Hammerstone then slid back in the ring, where he & Hero hit Spears with a double suplex. Hero & Hammerstone then shared a respectful handshake before locking up. Hero initially looked like he won control over Hammerstone, but Hammerstone's raw power and strength was more than enough for him to turn the tide on Hero and launch him across the ring with a belly to belly suplex. Before Hammerstone could do anything else, Bryan Keith rolled back into the ring, jumped up on the top rope, and hit Hammerstone with a diving crossbody. The match came to an end when Keith set up Hammerstone for the Thrill of the Hunt, but Shawn Spears was able to break it up and blast Keith with a big boot. As Spears began to trash-talk Keith, he was turned around by Hammerstone, who scooped him up for a big chokebomb! Hammerstone then picked up Spears and hit him with the Nightmare Pendulum! Before Hammerstone could make the cover though, Keith got up, threw Hammerstone out of the ring, and covered Spears for the three! Bryan Keith has stolen the NWA World Television Championship from Alex Hammerstone! WINNER: Bryan Keith VS VS VS HEAVY METAL MAYHEM vs Violence is Forever vs Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs The Dreadlock Demolition Machines (Bojack & Tankman) We've got two teams debuting in this 4-team tag match. It's the grappling masters of James Drake & Zack Gibson and the hard-hitting Dreadlock Demolition Machines of Bojack & Tankman. This match was a decent match and the crowd was solidly behind HEAVY METAL MAYHEM, who got the crowd on their feet with their entrance, where BOOGZ played guitar and WARHORSE was a one-man mosh pit. One man from each team started things off, with BOOGZ, Kevin Ku, Zack Gibson, & Bojack kicking things off. Realizing the size disadvantage, all three other men began to gang up on Bojack. It initially worked, but Bojack was able to launch them all away pretty quickly. Bojack then grabbed Ku and hit him with a powerslam before Zack Gibson was able to clip his leg. Gibson then began working over Bojack, only to be interrupted by BOOGZ, who charged at both men with a double lariat. In the meantime, Ku was able to tag out to Dominic Garrini, who hit BOOGZ with a flying knee strike. Garrini then locked BOOGZ in an ankle lock, but BOOGZ was able to roll out of it and hit Garrini with a beautiful German suplex. BOOGZ then tagged out to WARHORSE and the two men hit Garrini with a double brainbuster. Meanwhile, Gibson tagged out to Drake, while Bojack was able to tag out to Tankman. This match came to an end when WARHORSE tried hitting Garrini with a military press slam, but he was hit with a big spear from Tankman! Tankman tried making the cover, but James Drake was able to jump on his back to attempt some sort of rear naked choke. However, Tankman threw him off, ran off the ropes, and hit him with a big senton! Tankman then picked up Drake and hit him with his finisher, the Tankman Driver (Samoan Driver)! Tankman then made the cover and got the three! WINNERS: The Dreadlock Demolition Machines After that brutal four-way tag match, we cut to a pre-recorded video of The Von Erich ranch in Boerne, Texas, where Ross & Marshall Von Erich are getting ready to their match with MxM. The two men have a sparring session in the ring while their father Kevin Von Erich talks about the importance of tag team wrestling to the Von Erich Family. Kevin says that he & his brothers worked best when they were together and Ross & Marshall are the same. Separate they're bog-standard wrestlers, but together, they are on a whole other level! Ross & Marshall then finish by saying that Mansoor & Mason Madden have no idea what's going to happen when they step in the ring with a couple of country boys! We then cut to another pre-recorded video, this time in some sort of club in Hollywood, California. Mansoor & Mason Madden are there, drinks in hand, as they begin to talk about The Von Erichs. Madden says that Ross & Marshall are what he likes to call "legacy acts," AKA, two dudes are only in the NWA because of their last name! Mansoor then butts in, saying that he's seen The Iron Claw and saw Ross & Marshall in that movie and he could take on both of those kids with one hand tied behind his back. Madden then had to remind Mansoor that those were just actors, to which Mansoor responded by saying that he could still kick both of their asses! Madden then finished by leaving The Von Erichs with a few more words of wisdom... Mason Madden: "Ross, Marshall, when we're done with you, you'll go down in history as bigger Von Erich flops than Lance Von Erich!" Mansoor: "Deep cut! That's what a team of power tops does baby!" Madden: "Manny, no." NWA World Tag Team Championship Match: VS MxM vs The Von Erichs MxM got here by defeating HEAVY METAL MAYHEM, while The Von Erichs got here by defeating Violence is Forever. This match was a decent match and the crowd was solidly behind The Von Erichs. Mason Madden & Ross Von Erich kick things off with Madden telling Ross to kiss the ring on his middle finger. Ross initially steps towards Madden, as if he's going to do it, but instead takes him down with a double-leg takedown. Ross then unloaded a barrage of haymakers onto Madden, only stopping when referee Brian Gorie threatened to disqualify him. Ross then attempted a running knee drop, but Madden rolled out of the way at the last second and blasted him with a big boot. Madden then tagged out to Mansoor and the two men hit Ross with a powerbomb/neckbreaker combo. Mansoor made the cover, but Ross kicked out at two. Mansoor went to the apron, yelled out "BACKSHOT TIME!", and attempted his Backshot Lariat, but Ross ducked it, grabbed Mansoor, and hit him with a big German suplex. Ross then tagged out to Marshall and the two brothers hit Mansoor with a Hart Attack! The match came to an end when Marshall scooped up Mansoor to attempt a running powerslam, but Mansoor was able to wiggle out of it and send Marshall headfirst into an exposed turnbuckle! Madden must have taken the cover off of the turnbuckle while he was standing on the apron! Speaking of Madden, he hopped in the ring and hit Ross with a big boot that sent him flying off the apron and onto the mat below. Mansoor & Mason then hit Marshall with The Centerfold! Mansoor made the cover and got the three! MxM are your new NWA World Tag Team Champions! WINNERS: MxM After that match was over, we cut to a video hyping up the Tenille Dashwood/Mercedes Mone NWA World Women's Championship Match. The video shows how both women got here, from their careers on the indies to their time in the WWE and finally their recent run in the NWA. Tenille beat Kenzie Paige, albeit by cheating, while Mercedes Mone won a hard-fought battle against Megan Bayne to get here. We then get quick promos from each woman, with Tenille saying that Mercedes doesn't deserve the title and Mercedes saying that she's going to be sending Tenille back to her OnlyFans simps after she's done kicking her ass! Who will walk out of NWA Revolution with the NWA World Women's Championship? We're about to find out! NWA World Women's Championship Match: VS Tenille Dashwood vs Mercedes Mone This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Mercedes. Mercedes & Tenille locked up to start things off, with Tenille gaining control after hitting Mercedes with a back suplex. Tenille then taunted Mercedes before charging at her with a lariat. That failed though, as Mercedes ducked it and hit Tenille with an enzuigiri. Mercedes then threw Tenille into the corner and hit her with a rapid-fire barrage of knife edge chops, finishing things off with a high knee strike. Tenille stumbled out of the corner, but she was soon hit by a running bulldog from Mercedes. Mercedes then tried to hit Tenille with a backstabber, but Tenille was able to hold on to the ropes and shake her off. Tenille then hit Mercedes with a spinning heel kick, which sent Mercedes crashing to the outside. As Mercedes recovered on the outside, Tenille ran off the ropes and hit her with a suicide dive! The match came to an end when Tenille threw Mercedes back in the ring and tried locking her in the Taste of Tenille, but Mercedes managed to kick her away at the last second. Mercedes then caught Tenille in a hurricanrana, quickly transitioning it into the Mone Maker! Tenille grasped for the ropes, but eventually had no choice but to tap out! Mercedes Mone is your new NWA World Women's Champion! WINNER: Mercedes Mone VS w/ Mustafa Ali & Timothy Thatcher vs Jacob Fatu & Nic Nemeth w/Salina de la Renta Ali & Thatcher are looking to get revenge on the men that eliminated them from the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender's Tournament, with Ali going after Nemeth and Thatcher going after Fatu. This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Ali & Thatcher. Mustafa and Nemeth kicked things off with Ali launching himself onto Nemeth with a Thesz press. After a quick barrage of punches, Ali picked up Nemeth, ran off the ropes, and hit him with a spinning wheel kick. Ali then went to the apron and tried some sort of springboard attack, but Salina de la Renta tripped him up behind referee Brian Gorie's back. That allowed Nemeth to grab Ali and hit him with a slingshot suplex. Nemeth then tagged out to Jacob Fatu, who blasted Ali with a lariat that sent the Chicago native crashing into his corner. Timothy Thatcher did himself the honor of tagging in and went right after Fatu with a bevy of strikes. Thatcher then ducked a forearm smash from Fatu and tried grabbing Fatu's arm for the Fujiwara Armbar! That failed though as Fatu wiggled out of it and hit Thatcher with a spinning back suplex. The match came to an end when Thatcher made the tag to Ali and Fatu made the tag to Nemeth. Nemeth charged at Ali and hit him with a big superkick. Nemeth then set up Ali for the Danger Zone, but Ali rolled out of the way at the last second! As Nemeth stumbled back to his feet, Ali came up from behind and rolled him up for the three! WINNERS: Mustafa Ali & Timothy Thatcher After his flash win, Mustafa Ali began to celebrate with the crowd as Timothy Thatcher walked to the back without really doing anything. Ali embraced his family in the front row before grabbing a microphone. Ali says that it's good to be with his friends and family here in the Chicago area! Ali says that he got his start here and he's ready to take the next step of his career here. Ali then makes a bold proclamation... Mustafa Ali: "TONIGHT! I don't care who wins the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! So, Matt Cardona! Matt Riddle! Whichever one of you two walks out with the ten pounds of gold, I'LL BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! THANK YOU CHICAGO!" Ali then continued to celebrate with his family and the rest of the crowd as we got ready for our main event of the evening... We then cut to a hype video for our main event of the evening, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship match between 'Main Event' Matt Cardona and 'The King of Bros' Matt Riddle. The video shows how Matt Cardona was one of the top guys in the old NWA, winning the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, but only holding it for a few months before vacating it due to injury. He was scheduled to receive another shot at the ten pounds of gold, but the NWA went on hiatus before that happened. New NWA President Paul Heyman decided to be generous though and give him that shot tonight against the winner of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender's Tournament, Matt Riddle! The video then shows how Riddle got here by defeating the-now NWA World Television Champion Bryan Keith, the dangerous Jacob Fatu, and the ever-arrogant Nic Nemeth. Now he'll need to put it all together if he wants to win the ten pound of gold. Who will walk out of NWA Revolution with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship? We're about to find out! NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match: VS Matt Cardona vs Matt Riddle This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Riddle. Cardona had a very over-the-top entrance, with obscene amounts of pyro and sparklers, which didn't really endear him to the crowd. On the other hand, Riddle was stoic, with only a brief acknowledgement of the "BRO! BRO! BRO!" chants breaking his concentration. That probably benefited Riddle as he was able to immediately go after Cardona with a barrage of kicks to get things started. Those kicks eventually forced Cardona to get in-between the ropes to force referee Mike Chioda to break the action. Just as Riddle backed off, Cardona slapped him square across the face! That wasn't a good idea, as Riddle responded by hitting Cardona with a jumping knee strike. Riddle then threw Cardona into the corner and slapped him right across the chest! The sound of that slap reverberated throughout the arena! Cardona stumbled out of the corner in pain, but walked right into a lariat from Riddle. Riddle then tried locking in the Rear Naked Choke, but Cardona was able to get to the ropes. Before Riddle had a chance to lock the hold in again, Cardona managed to kick him away and hit him with a swinging neckbreaker. Cardona then picked up Riddle and hit him with an atomic drop, which sent Riddle stumbling into the corner. Cardona took this chance to begin taunting Riddle, calling him a "UFC WASHOUT!" going against an "INDY GOD!" However, when Cardona tried hitting Riddle with a running big boot, Riddle caught him and slammed him to the ground with a uranage! This match came to an end when Riddle locked Cardona in the Rear Naked Choke! He had trouble bringing Cardona to the ground though, which allowed Cardona to nearly reach the ropes. However, right before Cardona could reach out and break the hold, he instead pushed back, sending him & Riddle crashing into referee Mike Chioda! Riddle then broke the hold and tried waking up Chioda to no avail. Meanwhile, Cardona slid to the outside and grabbed the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Cardona then got in the ring and cracked Riddle over the head with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! Riddle then started bleeding, with some of the blood even getting on the title. Cardona didn't care though as he scooped up Riddle and hit him with his finisher, the Radio Silence (Jumping Leg Lariat)! Cardona then made the cover as Mike Chioda came to... 1! 2! 3! "Main Event" Matt Cardona is your new NWA World Heavyweight Champion! That wasn't the way any of us wanted to see it happen, but Matt Cardona has just become the 102nd NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Cardona celebrated in the ring in a very over-the-top fashion as Riddle stewed at ringside. Matt Cardona is your new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, but he's already got several competitors who cannot wait to get their hands on him. What's going to happen next as we enter the era of "Main Event" Matt Cardona? We'll find out on Thursday at NWA Main Event, but until then, thank you for watching NWA Revolution. Good night everyone! WINNER: Matt Cardona FINAL GRADE: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncrewed Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Thanks for the kind feedback everyone! Revolution was a blast to write and I hope it was just as much of a blast to read! Anyway, onto the personal thoughts of Paul Heyman... HEYMAN'S HUSTLE- FEBRUARY 26th, 2024 -Got a phone call from Billy Corgan after the show. He said Revolution was phenomenal and wished me the best of luck, which is high praise coming from the guy behind "Bullet with Butterfly Wings." Kidding, I love Billy and appreciate his input. -I don't really look at online reviews, but I couldn't help myself this time. The forums loved it, especially the main event. Hopefully we can continue the momentum going into our next big event on Wrestlemania weekend. -Alright, onto Revolution. The pre-show women's tag was supposed to be on the main show, but it got pushed to the pre-show because of time constraints with the venue. All four of the girls were understanding, but I still promised to make it up for them at Main Event. -Finally re-introduced the NWA TV Title! I've been meaning to do that, just needed a good time for it. I was torn between Bryan Keith and Hammerstone winning it, no offense to Chris Hero & Spears. In the end, Keith won out, but Hammerstone's going to have his moment in the sun soon enough, don't worry about it. -The 4-team tag was there. It did what it needed to do and nothing more. The fans love HEAVY METAL MAYHEM though, which is cool. BOOGZ is a good guy backstage, WARHORSE maybe not so much, but he's dependable. -I know last time I wrote here I was marking out about The Von Erichs, but damn MxM have grown on me. Those two guys are just charisma magnets. They can say anything and get heat, it's amazing. But still, it was a toss-up between the two to win. It's definitely not the last time we'll see them in the ring together, I'll tell you that for certain. -Mercedes winning was always the plan. She's Mercedes f*cking Mone for pete's sake. Hell, even if I wanted her to lose to Tenille, she probably would have told me to go to hell and left for Hollywood. And I can say that too because she'll never read this journal! Anyway, Mercedes is one of our top stars for a reason. The fans love her, the network loves her, the wrestlers love her, she's got it all. -I don't know if it's just because we were in the Chicago area or what, but Mustafa Ali was over as hell. The guy just has something that makes you want to cheer for him. Maybe his potential future title match will help him out even more. -As I told Billy when I first pitched buying the NWA, there's a reason why Matt Cardona was the one guy I kept around. The dude is just a heat magnet. He makes you want to see him get punched in the face. Listen, I like Matt Riddle. The dude's super over and can go in the ring, but Cardona just has IT right now. There's not many people who I think can take the belt off of him. -Elsewhere, I saw that WWE were forced to change their Wrestlemania plans thanks to the overwhelming groundswell support for Cody Rhodes. Though from what I'm hearing from my sources in the company, what they're planning for Wrestlemania will make the fans wish they never started that whole #WeWantCody hashtag. So, Cody, if you ever read this for whatever reason, the phone's open. -AEW is still keeping on. They got this Big Business event coming up in a few weeks where Kazuchika Okada is supposed to debut, so good for them I guess. -As for new people coming into the NWA? Well why would I ruin the surprise? Instead, you'll just have to wait until the next time I update this little journal. So see you after Wrestlemania Weekend I guess 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncrewed Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 NWA Main Event- February 29th, 2024 Attendance: 1,000 at Dusty Studios (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Commentary Team: Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett Welcome everyone to a special Leap Day edition of NWA Main Event live on Fox Sports 2! Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett welcome everyone to the show, quickly recapping NWA Revolution before going down tonight's card. We then get right into our opening contest... NWA World Television Championship Match: VS Bryan Keith (C) vs Chris Hero We're kicking off this Leap Day edition of NWA Main Event with the first ever defense of the NWA World Television Championship! 'The Bounty Hunter' Bryan Keith won the title on Sunday at NWA Revolution, stealing a win from Alex Hammerstone and defeating Shawn Spears & Chris Hero in the process. This match was a decent match and the crowd was solidly behind Hero. A quick lockup started things off, which ended with Hero hitting Keith with a stiff forearm smash. Keith recoiled in pain and walked right into a lariat from Hero. Hero then scooped up Keith for a powerslam, but Keith managed to wiggle out of it and hit Hero with a German suplex. Keith then threw Hero into the corner and hit him with a couple of knife edge chops before hitting the veteran with a running bulldog. The match came to an end when Keith tried to end things with The Thrill of the Hunt, but Hero managed to escape it and hit Keith with a surprise Rolling Elbow! The crowd popped as Hero made the cover, but just as referee Mike Chioda went to count the three, Keith got his foot up on the ropes at the last second! A dejected Hero picked up Keith and tried hitting another Rolling Elbow, but Keith ducked it and hit Hero with a spinning backfist! Keith then scooped up Hero and hit him with The Thrill of the Hunt! Keith made the cover and got the three, winning the first of his seven title defenses he needs in order to get a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. WINNER: Bryan Keith After Bryan Keith's first defense of the NWA World Television Championship, his celebration is cut short by... Alex Hammerstone! Hammerstone charges to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd, eager to get revenge on the man that screwed him out the NWA World Television Championship at Revolution. Keith, on the other hand, wasn't too keen on that as he fled the ring and escaped through the crowd. Hammerstone then grabbed a microphone and yelled "KEITH, I'M COMING FOR YOU!" as Keith stood in the crowd. After that confrontation, we cut to a video hyping up the debut of 'The Judge' EJ Nduka. The video, narrated by Nduka's advocate Paul Heyman, shows Nduka just destroying a bunch of other wrestlers in the ring, chokeslamming them and throwing them around like rag dolls. We then see Nduka lifting a set of heavy weights and doing a bunch of exercises that wouldn't look out of place in the NFL Combine. The video ends with a simple message from Heyman... Paul Heyman: "The National Wrestling Alliance will NEVER be the same again after EJ Nduka debuts... NEXT WEEK!" Before we get to our next contest, Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett were joined by a very special guest on commentary... The new NWA World Women's Champion Mercedes Mone! Mone came out to a huge pop as she took a headset and sat down at the announce table to commentate the next match... w/ VS Pretty Powerful w/Brady vs Kenzie Paige & Xia Brookside Megan Bayne & Steph de Lander picked up a nice win on the pre-show to NWA Revolution, defeating Kenzie Paige & Santana Garrett. Now, Kenzie looks to get some revenge with Xia Brookside by her side. This match was a decent match and the crowd was solidly behind Kenzie & Xia. Xia and Steph started things off with Steph smashing Xia with a big boot. Steph scooped up Xia and hit her with a military press slam. However, a follow-up running powerslam failed, as Xia wiggled out of it and took Steph to the mat with an ankle lock! Steph was eventually able to reach the ropes, with a bit of help from Brady. Xia tried locking the hold back in, but Steph kicked her away and hit her with a running crossbody. Steph then tagged out to Megan Bayne, while Xia tagged out to Kenzie Paige. Kenzie ducked a lariat from Megan, ran off the ropes, and hit her with a running shoulder block. The match came to an end when Kenzie tried hitting Megan with her finisher, the Kenzie Cutter (Running Cutter), but was tripped up by Brady on the outside! As Kenzie began yelling at Brady, Bayne spun her around and launched her across the ring with a fallaway slam. Bayne then scooped up Kenzie and hit her with the Mega Slam to get the three. Afterwards, Bayne & Steph began jawing with Mercedes Mone, telling the champ that they're coming for the belt! WINNERS: Pretty Powerful After that match ended, we cut to a club, where it looks like a party is going on. That's where we see Mansoor and Mason Madden, MxM! The new NWA World Tag Team Champions are partying, interspersed with some trash talk. Mansoor says that he & Madden taught those Von Erich boys a lesson they'll never forget. One of the party-goers asks about the numerous cheap shots that they gave Ross & Marshall during the match, to which Madden feigns ignorance. However, the party is quickly interrupted by... Bojack & Tankman, the Dreadlock Demolition Machines! The two big men walk onto the scene, quickly silencing any partying that was going on. Reflexively, Mansoor kind of hides behind Madden and asks who the hell Bojack & Tankman are for interrupting their victory party. Bojack & Tankman introduce themselves, they're the Dreadlock Demolition Machines and they're coming for the NWA World Tag Team Championship! Madden laughs, saying that he & Manny saw that four-way tag match at Revolution and Bojack & Tankman just got lucky. What makes them next in line for a shot at their titles? Bojack and Tankman smile, with Bojack telling them to watch this. Bojack then grabs a random security guard and puts him square through a table! The crowd gasps in shock as Tankman grabs another security guard and puts him through another table! The crowd scatters as Tankman tells the champs that they're next! Bojack & Tankman walk away as Mansoor quips to Madden that they need to hire better security, which earned him a punch in the arm from Madden. After that club confrontation, we cut to the backstage area, where Matt Riddle is shadow boxing. Riddle then talks, while still training, about what happened at NWA Revolution. Riddle says that his loss to Matt Cardona in the main event was just a setback in his road to the top. Riddle then tries to tell Cardona that he still has his eyes set on the NWA World Championship, but before he can finish that sentence... Jacob Fatu & The Samoan Dynasty jump him! Jacob Fatu, Lance Anoa'i, & Zilla Fatu start beating the living hell out of Riddle in a gang-style beatdown. Zilla splats Riddle on the concrete floor with a spinebuster and Lance hits Riddle with a discus lariat before Jacob finishes Riddle off with a big Samoan Spike! Jacob then gets down in Riddle's face and yells at him "I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU MATT!" before him and his cousins leave the beaten down Riddle to fester on the floor. VS w/ Mustafa Ali vs Nic Nemeth w/Salina de la Renta Ali has set his sights on the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, calling out the winner of the Riddle/Cardona match after his big tag win at Revolution. However, Nic Nemeth is looking to stop any talk of that and prove that he's the one who's rightfully next in line for a shot at the ten pounds of gold! This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Ali. Nemeth started off the match hot, blasting Ali with a barrage of rapid-fire strikes, culminating with a superkick that sent Ali crashing to the outside. As Ali recovered on the outside, Nemeth ran off the ropes and hit Ali with a baseball slide that sent him crashing into the ringside barrier. Nemeth then went to the outside and tried grabbing Ali to send him back in the ring, but Ali reversed it and sent Nemeth headfirst into the ringpost! Ali then threw Nemeth into the ring as he went to the top rope. Ali then hit Nemeth with a diving double foot stomp, which only got a two count on the ensuing pinfall attempt. Ali then went to the apron to attempt some sort of springboard maneuver, but Salina de la Renta tripped him up! That allowed Nemeth to recover and crack Ali with a big superkick. The match came to an end when Nemeth tried hitting Ali with the Danger Zone, but Ali rolled out of the way at the last second! Ali then hit Nemeth with a poison rana that landed Nemeth right on his head! Ali then went to the top rope and hit Nemeth with the Falcon Flash! Ali made the cover and got the three! WINNER: Mustafa Ali After that hellacious match, Mustafa Ali was busy celebrating his victory with the NWA faithful until... Matt Cardona ran in and attacked! The NWA World Heavyweight Champion must have been hiding in the crowd the whole time! Cardona beat the living hell out of Ali, unloading a barrage of strikes onto him before throwing him in the ring. Cardona then called his shot and hit Ali with the Radio Silence! Cardona then grabbed the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and told Ali "YOU'RE NOT READY FOR THE MAIN EVENT ALI!" Cardona then raised the ten pounds of gold high up in the air as his music hit and NWA Main Event came to a close.

Uncrewed Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 (edited) NWA Main Event- March 7th, 2024 Attendance: 1,000 at Dusty Studios (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Commentary Team: Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett It's time for another exciting edition of NWA Main Event live on Fox Sports 2! As the Philly faithful chant "NWA! NWA!" Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett quickly run down the card before we get right into our opening contest... NWA World Television Championship Match: VS w/ Bryan Keith (C) vs BOOGZ w/WARHORSE Bryan Keith's second defense of the NWA World Television Championship will be against one half of HEAVY METAL MAYHEM, the guitar-shredding BOOGZ! On the plus side for Keith, Alex Hammerstone is not in the building tonight, so he doesn't have to worry about him. This match was a decent match and the crowd was solidly behind BOOGZ. BOOGZ started things off with a bit of air guitar work before dodging a lariat from Keith and launching the champ across the ring with a gutwrench suplex! BOOGZ then scooped up Keith and hit him with a belly to belly suplex. BOOGZ then tried running off the ropes to hit a running senton, but Keith got his knees up at the last second. Keith scooped up BOOGZ and hit him with a brainbuster, but the ensuing pinfall attempt only got a two count. A frustrated Keith then slapped the taste out of BOOGZ's mouth, but a follow-up powerslam was reversed into a huge German suplex from BOOGZ! The match came to an end when BOOGZ played a bit of air guitar to fire the crowd up before charging at Keith with a running high knee. That failed though, as Keith rolled out of the way and blasted BOOGZ with a lariat to the back of the head! Keith then scooped up BOOGZ and hit him with the Thrill of the Hunt! Keith made the cover and got the three to make the second of seven title defenses in the Lucky Seven. WINNER: Bryan Keith After that match ended, we cut to a gym, where Pretty Powerful's Megan Bayne & Steph de Lander were working out. As their "boy toy" Brady helped Megan Bayne spot a lift, Steph de Lander began talking about Mercedes Mone and the NWA World Women's Championship. Steph says that she & Megan have run rougshod over the women's division in recent weeks, beating everyone that's stood in their path. As Megan & Brady yelled out "YEAH!" Steph says that their dominance has earned them a reward... Steph de Lander: "So Mercedes, next week, it's you vs me for your precious NWA World Women's Championship! And after I'm done with you, I'm bringing the belt to somewhere it belongs, around the waist of the strongest and most gorgeous woman in the National Wrestling Alliance, Steph de Lander! Ain't that right guys?" Megan Bayne & Brady (in the background): "YEAH!" w/ VS EJ Nduka w/Paul Heyman vs The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) "The Judge" EJ Nduka's debut has been hyped for weeks now and if his debut is anything like what we've seen in those hype videos, then we're in for a world of destruction here in the National Wrestling Alliance. The first to test that theory? Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum of the retro-tastic Outrunners! Too bad for them though as Nduka completely demolished them, not letting them get any form of offense in. With Nduka's advocate Paul Heyman standing at ringside cackling, Nduka mercifully finished off Floyd & Magnum with a huge Double Chokeslam! Nduka then covered both men to get the win in just under a minute! WINNER: EJ Nduka VS Dreadlock Demolition Machines vs The Grizzled Young Veterans Well, EJ Nduka's debut took up less time than we thought here on Main Event, so here's a tag team match between two of NWA's hottest tag teams as a backup! This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind the Dreadlock Demolition Machines. Bojack and Zack Gibson started things off with Gibson talking some smack to Bojack. That didn't pay off as Bojack cracked him in the face with a stiff forearm smash! Gibson recoiled in pain, but was hit with a running crossbody that nearly smushed the man from Liverpool. Bojack then tried to finish off Gibson early with a Vader Bomb, but Gibson rolled out of the way at the last second. Gibson then charged at Bojack and clipped him at his knee. The big man fell to one knee, which allowed Gibson to hit Bojack with a Shining Wizard! Gibson then tagged out to James Drake and the two men hit Bojack with a stereo knee drop/diving splash combo. The match came to an end when Drake tried picking up Bojack for a German suplex, but Bojack's immense size was more than enough to stop that and he hit Drake with a back suplex. Bojack then tagged out to Tankman, who ran off the ropes and hit Drake with a running senton! Tankman then scooped up Drake and hit him with the Tank Driver! In a repeat of the finish of Revolution, Tankman covered Drake and got the three. After the match, we cut to the crowd where... MxM were sitting in some sort of makeshift skybox! While the skybox was only four feet off the ground at most, MxM still acted like they were high atop Dusty Studios, yelling at DDM that they would meet their maker real soon! WINNERS: Dreadlock Demolition Machines After that tag team contest came to a close, we cut to a pre-recorded video from The Von Erich Ranch in Boerne, Texas. The video shows Kevin Von Erich leading a training session between his two sons, Ross & Marshall Von Erich. The brothers grow frustrated after a bit, questioning their dad as to why they need to keep training. Kevin says that they need all the training they can get if they want to get another shot at the NWA World Tag Team Championship, especially with all the other teams in the National Wrestling Alliance being as dangerous as they are. Kevin's spiel is then interrupted mid-sentence by... Dan Lambert and Violence is Forever! Lambert, Janai Kai, Dominic Garrini, & Kevin Ku all roll up to The Von Erich Ranch looking like they're intent on starting some trouble. Lambert tells Kevin Von Erich that he's damn right that there's a bunch of dangerous tag teams in the NWA looking for a shot at the NWA Tag Team Titles, because Violence is Forever is at the top of that list! Lambert then explains why... Dan Lambert: "You know Kevin, your boys are a lot like this ranch here. Nothing more than a cheap replacement of something better from the past! That's exactly why Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrini are the deadliest tag team in the National Wrestling Alliance, because they can easily streamroll through your two boys with no problem at all!" Just as Ross brings up the fact that him & Marshall beat VIF in the first round of the NWA World Tag Team Championship Tournament, he's hit in the face by a jumping spin kick from Janai Kai! Before Marshall has any time to react, he's jumped by Ku & Garrini! Violence is Forever then begin a methodic beatdown of the brothers Von Erich, kicking the living hell out of them before Lambert mercifully calls them off. As Lambert tells his guys to get going, Kevin Von Erich tries to attend to his injured sons. After that brutal beatdown, we cut back to the Dusty Studios, where Jacob Fatu and The Samoan Dynasty are huddled in a darkened room. Jacob Fatu tells Lance Anoa'i & Zilla Fatu that what they did to Matt Riddle last week was a warning to the rest of the NWA locker room. Jacob says that the warning is very simple, if you stand in the way between him & the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, then you'll be lucky if you aren't sent to a hospital! Jacob says that their actions last week made the family proud and finishes by sending a warning to Matt Riddle... Jacob Fatu: "Matthew Riddle. If me, Lance, or Zilla even see you step foot in this building ever again... *Jacob gets closer to the camera* YOU! ARE! DEAD! MEAT!" w/ VS Matt Cardona & Nic Nemeth w/Salina de la Renta vs Mustafa Ali & Timothy Thatcher Ali's been chasing after Cardona's NWA World Heavyweight Championship and following Ali's win last week over Nic Nemeth, Cardona ran in from the crowd and beat the hell out of Ali. Is Ali in the champ's head or is Cardona simply trying to snuff out a challenge before it emerges? This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Ali & Thatcher. Ali and Cardona start things off, but Cardona quickly tags himself out, avoiding the wrath of Ali. That didn't stop him though, as Ali charged Cardona's corner and started laying down some haymakers onto the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! That was quickly stopped though, as Nic Nemeth grabbed Ali by the hair and hit him with a release German suplex. Ali flew across the ring, but somehow managed to land on his feet, duck a lariat from Nemeth, and crack "The Natural" with a superkick! Ali then tagged out to Timothy Thatcher, who hit Nemeth with a running shoulder block. Thatcher then began some limb work on Nemeth's arm, potentially setting up for a future Fujiwara Armbar. That wouldn't come to pass though as Nemeth managed to wiggle out of Thatcher's arm wrench and hit him with a jumping DDT. The match came to an end when Nemeth tagged out to Cardona, who began stomping a mudhole into Thatcher. Cardona then taunted Thatcher, grabbing him by the face and yelling "YOU WILL NEVER BE A STAR!" That backfired as Thatcher grabbed Cardona's fingers and snapped them! As Cardona recoiled in pain, Thatcher made the hot tag to Mustafa Ali! Cardona tried tagging out to Nemeth, but he was busy recovering on the outside. Cardona then turned around right into a beautiful-looking monkey flip from Ali that he quickly transitioned into a small package that got the three! Mustafa Ali has pinned the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! WINNERS: Mustafa Ali & Timothy Thatcher Mustafa Ali couldn't celebrate for long though, as Matt Cardona grabbed his NWA World Heavyweight Championship and hit Ali over the head with it! Ali was busted open from that attack, but Cardona didn't care, he just kept laying down haymaker after haymaker onto Ali. However, before Cardona could continue his attack, a loud, distorted, booming voice came over the PA system... ???: "CARDONA! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" A mysterious message then popped up on screen... Cardona looked everywhere, but he couldn't see where the mystery voice was coming from. The man behind the voice might not be here, but whatever it was distracted Cardona long enough for the bloodied Ali to recover and hit Cardona with a spinning wheel kick! Cardona flopped to the outside while Ali grabbed the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and held it high in the air to a huge pop from the crowd. Ali and Cardona stared each other down to end the show, with Ali leaving the show with a few final words... Mustafa Ali: "April 5th, Philly Special. Matt Cardona, I'M WINNING THE NWA WORLD TITLE!"

Uncrewed Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 NWA Main Event- March 21st, 2024 Attendance: 1,000 at Dusty Studios (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Commentary Team: Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett It's time for another exciting edition of NWA Main Event! Mauro Ranallo & Josh Barnett quickly run down the card for tonight before we get right into our opening contest, the NWA World Women's Championship match between the champ Mercedes Mone and Steph de Lander! NWA World Women's Championship Match: VS w/ Mercedes Mone (C) vs Steph de Lander w/Megan Bayne & Brady Steph & Megan Bayne, Pretty Powerful, have run roughshod over the NWA women's division, beating everyone that's stood in their way. Now, Steph is getting rewarded with a shot at the NWA World Women's Championship! This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Mercedes. The two women started things off with a collar and elbow tie-up, in which Steph got the upper hand with a snap suplex. Steph then threw Mercedes off the ropes and hit her with a big back body drop that sent Mercedes rolling out to the floor. Steph then gives a signal to Megan and began arguing with referee Brian Gorie. That allowed Megan Bayne to charge at Mercedes on the outside and blast her with a lariat! Megan then threw Mercedes back in the ring, which allowed Steph to run off the ropes and hit her with a running splash. That only got a two count on the ensuing pinfall though. Steph then tried finishing off Mercedes with her finisher, the Python Press (Military Press into Falcon Arrow), but Mercedes wiggled out of it and hit Steph with a Backstabber! The match came to an end when Mercedes transitioned that Backstabber into the Mone Maker! Steph desperately clawed for the ropes, but before she could reach them, Megan Bayne rushed into the ring and started beating down Mercedes! Referee Brian Gorie called for the bell, giving the disqualification win to Mercedes, but the Pretty Powerful beatdown was just getting started. WINNER: Mercedes Mone (by DQ) Megan Bayne & Steph de Lander continued putting the boots to Mercedes Mone after the bell rang, all the while Brady was cheering on the outside. The two double-teamed the NWA World Women's Champion until eventually they decided enough was enough, at least for the double-team attacks. That's when Steph scooped up Mercedes and hit her with the Python Press! Not to be outdone, Megan scooped up Mercedes and hit her with the Mega Slam! Megan then tells Brady to grab the NWA World Women's Championship and slide in the ring, to which the young simp olbiges. Megan & Steph then hold the NWA World Women's Championship high in the air, above Mone's corpse, as we cut to a commercial break. We're back on NWA Main Event, but not at Dusty Studios. Instead, we're at the Violence is Forever Dojo in Las Vegas, Nevada. As Dominic Garrini, Janai Kai, & Kevin Ku train in the background, we're treated to the musings of Dan Lambert. Lambert says that last week, VIF sent a message to not just The Von Erichs, but to the entirety of the NWA tag team division. Lambert says that the message is very simple... Dan Lambert: "Last week, we told the whole tag division that Violence is Forever are THE top dogs in this company. Those primadonnas Mansoor & Mason Madden may hold the belts, but you're not the best until you beat Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrin-" Suddenly, Lambert is interrupted by the doors to the VIF Dojo being busted open. The camera pans to reveal the men behind the commotion... Ross & Marshall Von Erich! The Von Erich brothers take out some nameless VIF goons who try to stop them before getting in an all-out brawl with Ku & Garrini! The four men get into an all out brawl, destroying parts of the VIF Dojo. Lambert yells out to "CALL THE COPS!" as the four men continue to brawl and we cut back to Dusty Studios... w/ VS w/ Jacob Fatu w/Lance Anoa'i & Zilla Fatu vs WARHORSE w/BOOGZ This was supposed to be an NWA World Television Championship match between Bryan Keith & WARHORSE, but Keith suffered an ankle injury during training this week and he'll be out of action for a few weeks. WARHORSE still wanted a match though, so he's getting "The Samoan Wrecking Ball" Jacob Fatu. This match was a decent match and the crowd was solidly behind WARHORSE. WARHORSE led the crowd in a "WAR-HORSE! WAR-HORSE!" chant while BOOGZ did a bit of air guitar work on the outside. That didn't seem to phase Jacob though, as he blasted WARHORSE with a running lariat. Jacob picked up WARHORSE and launched him across the ring with a release belly-to-belly suplex before running off the ropes and hitting him with a running senton. Jacob tried to get the killing blow on WARHORSE with an attempted Wrecking Ball, but WARHORSE was able to catch himself on the ropes and hit the big Samoan with a running high knee. WARHORSE then went to the middle rope and hit Jacob with a diving knee drop, but the follow-up pinfall only got a two count. The match came to an end when WARHORSE tried charging at Jacob with a lariat, but Jacob popped up and hit him with a big boot! Jacob then grabbed WARHORSE, threw him off the ropes, and hit him with the Wrecking Ball! Fatu made the cover, but he broke the pin before referee Robert King could count the three. Fatu then picked up WARHORSE and hit him with a Samoan Spike right to his throat! Fatu then mercifully made the cover and got the three. WINNER: Jacob Fatu After that match ended, Jacob Fatu and The Samoan Dynasty stood tall in the ring until... Matt Riddle ran down to the ring with a steel pipe! Matt Riddle's back and looking to get revenge on the three men who took him out a few weeks ago! Riddle sprinted into the ring like a house on fire, cracking the steel pipe to the gut of Zilla Fatu and over the back of Lance Anoa'i. Jacob Fatu was able to get the pipe away from Riddle, but Riddle launched a barrage of strikes onto "The Samoan Wrecking Ball," sending him crashing to the outside. As the three Samoans tried to recover on the outside, Riddle grabbed a microphone and laid down an interesting challenge... Matt Riddle: "HEY JACOB, YOU BIG SAMOAN BITCH! I'M BACK AND THERE'S ONLY ONE THING ON MY MIND BRO, REVENGE! SO IN TWO WEEKS, AT PHILLY SPECIAL, YOU & YOUR BOYS VERSUS ME & TWO OF MY BOYS... IN A PHILLY STREET FIGHT!" The crowd popped as Jacob nodded in agreement. The two men shared a staredown as we cut to a commercial break. After our final commercial break of the evening, we cut to the office of NWA President Paul Heyman. Heyman's signing some paperwork until he's rudely interrupted by Nic Nemeth and Salina de la Renta. Nemeth says that he's heard through the grapevine that he doesn't have a match for the Philly Special coming up in two weeks. Salina butts in and says that it must be a mistake, because you can't have any big event without "The Natural" Nic Nemeth. Heyman says that neither of them are mistaken, Nemeth isn't currently scheduled for a match at the Philly Special. Salina asks Heyman why as Nemeth stews in the background. Heyman says that it's pretty simple, Nemeth hasn't won a match in a month! That causes Nemeth to snap, getting in Heyman's face and DEMANDING a match at the Philly Special. When Heyman tells him no again and yells at him to get out of his office, Nemeth leaves Paul with a warning... Nic Nemeth: "FINE! I'll leave! But just remember this Paul, unless you give me a match at the Philly Special, then enjoy your precious little show descending into CHAOS!" NWA World Heavyweight Championship Title Eliminator Match: VS Matt Cardona vs Mustafa Ali Mustafa Ali has been wanting an NWA World Heavyweight Championship match for weeks now and a pinfall win over the champ Matt Cardona in a tag team match earned him a chance for a championship match tonight on Main Event! This match was a good match and the crowd was solidly behind Ali. Ali started things off by charging at Cardona, taking out the champ with a running shotgun dropkick. Cardona crashed into the corner, where Ali began unloading punches onto the champ, only stopping when referee Mike Chioda threatened to disqualify him. Ali then tried to get back on the offensive, but Cardona caught him with a sucker punch. Ali recoiled, which allowed Cardona to charge at him and blast him with a lariat. Cardona then threw Ali into the corner and hit him with a knife edge chop. As Ali slumped to the bottom of the corner, Cardona went to the opposite corner and hit Ali with a running face wash. Cardona then grabbed Ali by the face, told him "YOU'LL NEVER BE A STAR!," and then attempted a gutwrench suplex, but Ali reversed it into a tilt-a-whirl headscissors! That sent Cardona crashing to the outside, but Ali quickly followed it up by running off the ropes and hitting Cardona with a suicide dive! The match came to an end when Ali threw Cardona back in the ring, went to the top rope, and attempted the Falcon Flash. That failed though, as Cardona got his knees up at the last second. As Cardona set up Ali for the Radio Silence, the lights in the arena went out! After a few seconds, the video screen above the entrance ramp lit up with a mysterious image... After a few seconds, the lights came back on. That's when a distracted Matt Cardona was rolled up from behind by Mustafa Ali and pinned for the three! Mustafa Ali has now pinned the NWA World Heavyweight Champion two weeks in a row! This was the big one though, as Ali now has a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at NWA Philly Special in two weeks! An enraged Cardona seethed in the ring as Ali celebrated in the crowd to close the show.

Lambert, Janai Kai, Dominic Garrini, & Kevin Ku all roll up to The Von Erich Ranch looking like they're intent on starting some trouble. Lambert tells Kevin Von Erich that he's damn right that there's a bunch of dangerous tag teams in the NWA looking for a shot at the NWA Tag Team Titles, because Violence is Forever is at the top of that list! Lambert then explains why... Dan Lambert: "You know Kevin, your boys are a lot like this ranch here. Nothing more than a cheap replacement of something better from the past! That's exactly why Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrini are the deadliest tag team in the National Wrestling Alliance, because they can easily streamroll through your two boys with no problem at all!" Just as Ross brings up the fact that him & Marshall beat VIF in the first round of the NWA World Tag Team Championship Tournament, he's hit in the face by a jumping spin kick from Janai Kai! Before Marshall has any time to react, he's jumped by Ku & Garrini! Violence is Forever then begin a methodic beatdown of the brothers Von Erich, kicking the living hell out of them before Lambert mercifully calls them off. As Lambert tells his guys to get going, Kevin Von Erich tries to attend to his injured sons. 6 hours ago, Uncrewed said: Ross & Marshall Von Erich! The Von Erich brothers take out some nameless VIF goons who try to stop them before getting in an all-out brawl with Ku & Garrini! The four men get into an all out brawl, destroying parts of the VIF Dojo. Lambert yells out to "CALL THE COPS!" as the four men continue to brawl and we cut back to Dusty Studios... Oh yeah, Lambert and his goon squad are real brave when they gang-attack the Von Erichs on their turf (the Von Erich ranch), but when Ross and Marshall show up on VIF's turf and hand their asses to them in retaliation, Lambert's all like "CALL THE COPS!" Reeeeeal brave bunch, that VIF... 🙄 (More like a bunch of gutless cowards who can dish it out, but can't take it back) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Lambert = Confirmed Coward Janai Kai, Kevin Ku, Dominic Garrini = Confirmed NOT Cowards Every good group has to balance out the coward/not coward ratio and that's why VIF have been so good at getting in The Von Erichs's heads. Next episode of Main Event will be up tomorrow! Final episode of Main Event before the Philly Special! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
