WWE Smackdown!
Friday 6th April 2007
---------------------------------------------------
’A video of Wrestlemania 23 was shown, showing Benoit making MVP tap out, Shawn Michael’s nailing Ken Kennedy with the Sweet Chin Music, Jeff Hardy climbing highest to be crowned Money In The Bank, Edge pinning Triple H, RVD defeating Lashley for the ECW Heavyweight Championship, Undertaker ending Umaga’s winning streak, Randy Orton dethroning John Cena as WWE Champion. The video then shows Batista beating Booker T, but then the music changes, and it goes black and white as Mark Henry returns and brutalizes Batista, leaving him down and bleeding with the title across his chest.
Segment 1: WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Gregory Helms© vs Funaki
Helms starts the match off by nailing some hard rights to Funaki, and then whips him to the ropes. But Funaki ducks the clothesline attempt, and nails Helms with a Cross Body. Helms kicks out, and the crowd boo’s as he rakes Funaki’s eyes, and then nails a running neckbreaker. 1……2…KICK OUT! Helms pulls Funaki up, and sends him to the ropes, and goes for a Samoan Drop, but Funaki rolls him up with a Crucifix Pin…1…….2…..KICK OUT! That was close. Helms gets up and angrily slaps Funaki…..WHO NAILS A DROPKICK!! Helms falls into the turnbuckle, and Funaki hops up and begins a 10 punch. At about 7, Helms pulls him up……POWERBOMB!! He covers…..and puts his feet on the ropes…..1……2….KICK OUT!
Helms looks angry, and he goes to the top rope. As Funaki gets up, HELMS GOES FOR A BLOCKBUSTER!! FUNAKI MOVED!! The crowd goes wild, and as Helms gets up, Funaki nails a Tornado DDT…..1……2….KICK OUT! Funaki cant believe it, and he begins to climb up the turnbuckle, going for a moonsault. But Helms nails a forearm to the back, and he climbs up behind Funaki. He pulls his head back……NIGHTMARE ON HELM STREET OFF THE TOP ROPE!! He covers….1……2…..3!! HELMS SUCCESFULLY RETAINS THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! The crowd boo, as Helms holds the belt up, as JBL hypes up that no one can beat Greg Helms.

Segment 2: Edge = Ratings!
‘ON THIS DAY….I SEE CLEARLY!’ The crowd boo’s wildly, as Edge emerges through the smoke, wearings his street clothes. He enters the ring, and he takes a mic.
Edge: Well….well…..well. Look who’s back on Smackdown. I guess there is only so much you can do RAW. I mean…..theres only so many times you can beat HBK to within an inch of his life, can pound Triple H into a bloody mess, and there is only so many times you can become the WWE Champion. Well guess what…..just because I’ve moved shows……doesn’t change me. Im still the Rated R Superstar……and baby…..I EQUAL RATINGS!!
The crowd boo’s wildly, as a cocky Edge slowly walks around the ring.
Edge: Face facts people, there has been no one who has entertained quite like me. So you know what….I think Theodore Long should do the right thing. And that’s give me a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. You see……
‘There’s No Holding Me Back’ The crowd goes wild, and Edge looks shocked, as Chris Benoit walks out in his in-ring tights, with the US Title around his waist. He takes a mic, and steps up to Edge.
Chris Benoit: Gee Edge….when was the last time I saw you? Oh yeah…..probably about the time you walked out on a tag match, and left me to win the belts on my own.
The crowd cheers, and Edge smirks.
Edge: Erm…..get your dates right Chris. The last time you probably saw me was when I leveled your ass with a steel chair, and climbed high to be crowned the FIRST EVER Money In The Bank! Or maybe it was at Backlash that same year, when I beat your ass in a Last Man Standing match.
The crowd boo’s, and Chris Benoit just takes it on the chin.
Chris Benoit: Edge….you have done a lot in the past year, and you have upset a lot of people. But the fact remains that you have won a lot of championships. But pal…..this is Smackdown! Here…..you gotta earn your shots.
Edge: Look Chris…..Ill have that title shot handed to me when Long realizes he has no other options. Im the Rated R Superstar. I do what I want…..WHEN I WANT!
The crowd boo as Edge drops the mic, and storms out of the ring past Chris Benoit. He walks up the ramp, not even looking back to the ring.
Overall Rating = 75%Segment 3: School is in Session!
Matt Striker walks out, and the crowd gives him little reaction. He takes a mic.
Matt Striker: School is now in session. And I am your teacher, Matt Striker. Now tonight marks the beginning of Matt Striker’s Smackdown! career, and its going to be a prosperous one. But I see that its only right that seen as how Smackdown has given me such an opportunity, I should give something back to Smackdown. So right now, in this ring…..I will give any Smackdown superstar a lesson in wrestling…….
Matt Striker waits for a response, as Cole claims that Striker is just being arrogant.
Matt Striker: Come on……anyone who wan…..
BOOM! The pyro’s shoot up. HERE COMES KANE!!
Overall Rating = 74%Segment 4: Matt Striker vs Kane
The crowd goes wild as the Big Red Machine storms to the ring, as Striker claims that the lesson is over. Kane enters…..BIG BOOT! Striker gets up dazed, right into a big sidewalk slam. Kane goes to the top rope. Striker gets up…….DIVING LARIAT! Kane gets up……and he raises his hand to a massive cheer. Striker turns around groggily……SLAP! Kane goes for it……CHOKES…..NO! Striker nails a few kicks to the gut……off the ropes……SLAP! CHOKESLAM!! Kane covers……1……2……3!! KANE JUST BEAT STRIKER WITHIN A MINUTE!! The crowd cheers as Kane does his turnbuckle pyro, as Striker lays motionless in the ring.

Segment 5: MVP Gets His Oppurtunity!
The camera’s go backstage, and MVP is standing by with Theodore Long, and he doesn’t look happy.
MVP: Look man…..that title should be mine. Benoit some how fluked a win at Mania, but then you give the title shot to a new guy? DAMN DAWG! What the hell is wrong with you?
Theodore Long: Look playa…..I don’t have to justify myself to you or anybody. But you want an opportunity playa, then by god you’ll get one. Next week…..in Smackdown’s main event……it will be MVP, in a non-title match up…….versus…….BATISTA!!
The crowd goes wild, and MVP stands there, wide –eyed, as Long slaps him on the back.
Theodore Long: Now that’s opportunity. Holla, holla, holla!
Suddenly, a stage hand races up to Theodore Long.
Theodore Long: What is is playa?
Stage hand: Mr Long…..Vince McMahon is on his way to the arena.
Theodore Long: What? Hell, tell everyone to fix up and to look sharp. I wanna impress McMahon.
Overall Rating = 63%Segment 6: Chavo Comes Clean!
The camera’s shoot backstage, and we see Chavo Guerrero standing, looking into the camera. He looks upset.
Chavo Guerrero: Its been nearly a year and half, and still the name of my uncle is being dragged through the mud. Randy Orton started it, but it was that Vato, Rey Mysterio who really milked it. But then Benoit got into the picture, and he has humiliated me, making the Guerrero name look weak because of his pride. Well the issue, just like my uncle, is now layed to rest. And the issue between me and Benoit, it is over.
The crowd are booing Chavo Guerrero, as he is backing away from Benoit.
Chavo Guerrero: Because the time has come for Chavo Guerrero to do what he knows his uncle Eddie has wanted. And that’s for Chavo to have his name placed alongside Eddie’s in the Hall of Fame. And nobody……NOBODY…..WILL STOP ME!!
Suddenly, the lights begin flashing off and on, and then suddenly, for a few seconds go red. Chavo looks around scared, and the lights flash again and remain normal. Chavo nervously walks off, as JBL and Michael Cole discuss what just happened, as The Undertaker has left Smackdown! to go to RAW.
Overall Rating = 64%Segment 7: Kennedy Goes Crazy!
The camera goes backstage, and Josh Matthews is standing by with Ken Kennedy.
Josh Matthews: Ken Kennedy, at Wrestlemania 23, you went toe to toe with ‘HBK’ Shawn Michaels, and came so close to a memorable win. But the Heartbreak Kid beat you with the Sweet Chin Music and…..
Ken Kennedy: What the hell? HE CHEATED! HE CHEATED TO BEAT ME! I should have won that match…..it was meant to be MY Wrestlemania moment. But no…..Shawn Michaels once again pulls the wool over everyone’s eyes, and makes them believe that he was the better man. BULL CRAP! All he has done is unleash a beast inside me, and I swear to go Josh, someone will pay for what HBK has done. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
The camera moves, and the crowd cheers as we see Super Crazy, who was redrafted to Smackdown! walking past. He looks confused and Ken Kennedy runs and for no reason begins hammering Super Crazy with rights. The crowd boo wildly, as Kennedy has snapped. He runs and slams Crazy into a nearby crate, and then pushes him through the curtain onto the entrance ramp. He kicks him down the ramp, and then slams his head off the ring apron. He then rolls him into the ring and enters, and hammers him with rights. Charles Robinson races down and calls for the bell……WE HAVE AN IMPROMPTU MATCH RIGHT NOW!
Overall Rating = 67%Segment 8: Ken Kennedy vs Super Crazy
The crowd are chanting ‘KENNEDY SUCKS!’ as he hammers away at Crazy in the corner, and then vicously whips him to the ropes. As Crazy comes back, Kennedy nails a hard clothesline. He drops down, and hammers away on Super Crazy with hard rights. He gets up, and angrily boot’s Crazy in the ribs, and again. He pulls Super Crazy up, and hurls him to the turnbuckle. He charges, but Crazy gets the boot up. Kennedy stumbles back, and Super Crazy charges…..AND NAILS A MASSIVE HEADSCISSORS TAKEOVER!! The crowd cheers, and Super Crazy uses this moment to catch his breath.
He gets up, and nails a few chops to Kennedy, and then a nice dropkick. He goes to the top rope…..MOONSAULT……KENNEDY MOVED!! Crazy lands hard, and Kennedy pulls him up…..DDT!! Crazy is down, and the crowd boo as Kennedy rolls out of the ring, an hurls Tony Chimmel to the floor. He slams the steel chair shut, and rolls back in, and as he goes to nail Super Crazy, Charles Robinson pulls the chair out of his hand. Kennedy argues with Robinson…..CRAZY ROLLS HIM UP…..1…….2…..3!! SUPER CRAZY WINS!! The crowd goes wild, and Super Crazy rolls out of the ring, and walks up the ramp with his arms aloft, as Kennedy looks ready to explode in the ring. WHAT AN UPSET!

Segment 9: The Champ Wants Revenge!
’ANIMAL’ hits, and the crowd goes wild, as Batista walks out with the World Heavyweight Championship still over his shoulder. He does his pyro, and enters the ring, and demands a mic. A ‘BATISTA’ chant starts up, but Batista is in no mood tonight.
Batista: Im gonna make this short and simple……MARK HENRY! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!!
The crowd goes wild, as Batista drapes his belt over the turnbuckle, and then takes his blazer off. He rolls his sleeves up. But there is no response.
Batista: HENRY!! You put me out of action…..YOU MADE ME GIVE UP MY TITLE! So when I came back….it was eye for an eye. But you went one further. You humiliated me at Wrestelmania. NOW GET OUT HERE AND GET WHAT YOU HAVE COMIN TO YOU!
‘You know it’s the Mack Militant’ The crowd gives a mixed reaction, as Theodre Long walks out with a mic. Batista doesn’t look happy.
Theodore Long: Batista…..playa….I know what Henry did was wrong, and your more than welcome to a match with him. But Henry and Booker both have the night off......*crowd boos*….I gave them that for their own safety playa!
Batista: Well Long…..you just cancelled the rest of your show. Because Im not leaving this ring until I spill Mark Henry’s blood.
Theodore Long: Playa…..this is MY show. Henry will not be here tonight….so leave the ring…..or I will have you escorted out by security.
Batista: Fine…..have it your way!
Batista drops his mic, and the crowd boo. They then cheer as he rolls out and walks to the announcers table. He pulls the top off, and the monitors out, as 6 heavily built security guards race down the ramp. Batista has a chair, and is whacking the table, when one of them pulls it out of his hand. Batista turns….AND CLOTHESLINES HIM! 2 charge, and Batista clotheslines both of them, and then SPEARS an oncoming guard! The next one runs, but Batista knee’s him in the gut, and slams him into the steel steps. The last guard charges, but Batista hoists him up……SPINEBUSTER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE!!
The whole crowd goes wild, and Long looks on in shock, as 12 more security guards race down the ramp. Batista takes his belt and his blazer, and this time leaves quietly with the guards surrounding him. He scowls at Long as he leaves, with the crowd cheering his name. BATISTA HAS SNAPPED!

He locks on an arm bar, but Benjamin gets a leg scissors, and Benoit releases. Benjamin gets a side headlock as they get up, and Benoit goes for a back suplex. Benjamin flips over and lands on his feet, off the ropes, but Benoit ducks under, and both men race to the ropes, and both stare down as they hold on. The whole crowd rise to their feet and applaud the chain wrestling, as Cole talks about this being ‘REAL WRESTLING!’ (A stab at RAW, ECW or TNA perhaps?)
They hook up again, and Benoit nails a kick to the gut, and a stinging chop. He whips Benjamin to the ropes, and nails a double forearm to the chest. He pulls Benjamin up, and nails a hard snap suplex….1….KICK OUT! He pulls Benjamin up, but Benjamin nails a jaw breaker sending Benoit back to the ropes.

‘You know it’s the Mack Militant’ The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Theodore Long, the Smackdown! GM walks out. He enters the ring.

Theodore Long: I know what Mark Henry did was wrong, and playa, Im gonna make…..
Vince McMahon completely cuts him off.
Vince McMahon: So I came here tonight, to give you this warning and what have I seen.

WWE Smackdown! Preview
Friday 6th April 2007
Fans, the fallout of Wrestlemania is exciting enough, but the first ever 3 way draft has also been made, with Smackdown! losing 6, but gaining 6 NEW Superstars. But the main story at Wrestlemania 23, was the return of Mark Henry. After Batista had succesfully retained his World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T, the 'Worlds Strongest Man' took to the ring and dismantled the champion. Tonight, Batista will be in the house, and you can bet your bottom dollar that he will be out for revenge, as one of the most brutal rivalries in Smackdown! history, has just been taken to the next level.
The main event this week, see's Chris Benoit put his WWE United States Championship on the line, against the returning Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin has been away from Smackdown! for 3 years, and will look for a succesful debut. But Chris Benoit has been champion for well over 5 months now, as this main event looks to be off the chain. Thats not the only gold being defended tonight, as the greatest Cruiserweight Champion, Gregory Helms, puts his title on the line against Funaki.
Also tonight, we will see the return of Edge. Like Benjamin, Edge has been gone for 3 years, and how he has changed. Edge is the most controversial star in WWE history, and will bring that with him this friday night. We also know that Chavo Guerrero will be giving an interview, and that a whole host of other stars will be in attendance. Make sure you dont miss the fallout to Wrestlemania 23.....
WWE SMACKDOWN! only on CW Network, Friday's at 8pm.
Confirmed Matches:WWE Cruiserweight Championship

WWE Wrestlemania 23
Sunday 1st April 07
WWE United States ChampionshipChris Benoit© vs MVP
This match came about when MVP shocked Smackdown! when he pinned Chris Benoit cleanly in a tag match just after No Way Out. Benoit said he wanted to prove to the world that he could make MVP tap out, and offered the shot. Benoit claimed the victory in this one by locking on the Crippler Crossface for the submission win.
Winner and STILL WWE United States Champion: Chris BenoitWWE Women's ChampionshipVictoria© vs Mickie James vs Melina
Victoria won the title at New Years Revolutions, and continued to rampage on. Mickie James and Melina had a number one contenders match that Victoria disrupted on RAW, laying both Diva's out. Jonathan Coachman made it a three way, but Victoria couldnt be stopped, as she nailed James with a Widow's Peak for the 3 count.
Winner and STILL WWE Women's Champion: VictoriaLoser Leaves RAWRic Flair vs Carlito
Carlito was eliminated by Ric Flair at the Rumble, and took it badly, assaulting the Nature Boy on the following RAW. Torrie Wilson tried to apology on behalf of Carlito, but Carlito spat an apple in her face. Flair came to her defence, and since then this rivalry has escalated to the point where Coachman claimed that the 2 men couldnt co-exist anymore. At Wrestlemania 23, Torrie Wilson shocked the world by betraying Flair, costing him the match and Coachman walked out and promptly fired Ric Flair.
Winner: CarlitoInter-Promotional MatchKen Kennedy vs Shawn Michaels
At the Rumble, Ken Kennedy was eliminated by Shawn Michaels, but then held down the rope as HBK charged at them, causing him to eliminate himself. A brawl broke out, and at No Mercy, Ken Kennedy squared off with Booker T and Kane for a shot at Batista's belt. HBK invaded the Smackdown! PPV, and cost Kennedy the match up, nailing him with a Sweet Chin Music. And after a great bout here, Kennedy suffered the same fate, as HBK won the match with his patented Superkick.
Winner: 'HBK' Shawn MichaelsMoney In The BankLadder Match
Jeff Hardy (RAW) vs Sabu (ECW) vs Matt Hardy (SD!) vs Shelton Benjamin (RAW) vs CM Punk(ECW) vs Kane (SD!)
2 men from each brand were selected, and what a show they put on. Matt Hardy nailed CM Punk with a Twist of Fate off the top of a ladder, while Kane chokeslammed Sabu from a Ladder to a table on the outside. Eventually however, it was Jeff Hardy who reached up and claimed the briefcase, ensuring himself a title shot within the next year.
Winner: Jeff HardyECW ChampionshipBobby Lashley© vs Rob Van Dam
Lashley and RVD had built up the rivalry, the new school of ECW facing the old school. And on this night, the old school prevailed, as RVD nailed Lashley with a 5 Star Frog Splash to pick up the win, and start his second reign as ECW Champion.
Winner and NEW ECW Champion: Rob Van DamTriple H vs EdgeSince the wars of DX vs Rated RKO, this had been escalating into one hate fueled rivalry, which has seen Edge go as far as to reveal to the world that Triple H is still married to Stephanie McMahon, and even spearing her. This lead to a match that saw the referee taken out, and a sledgehammer introduced. HHH battered and bloodied Edge with it, but eventually, it was Edge who picked up the win, after masing HHH, and then nailing the Edge-e-cution for a massive victory.
Winner: EdgeInter-Promotional MatchUndefeated Streak vs Undefeated Streak
Umaga vs The Undertaker
At the Rumble these 2 men battled, and it was Taker who sent the SamoanBulldozer over the top. And how Umaga got his revenge. At No Way Out, as it looked like Undertaker was poised to dethrone Batista at the top of the Smackdown food chain, Umaga charged in and battered the Deadman, leaving him a bloody mess. At Wrestlemania 23, both streaks were on the line, but it was Undertaker who kept his streak going, handing Umaga his first defeat in almost a year after a 3 Tombstone Piledrivers.
Winner: The UndertakerWorld Heavyweight ChampionshipBatista© vs Booker T
Having dropped the 'King' title, Booker T went on a mean streak until he won the chance to finally end this rivalry, by pinning Ken Kennedy at No Way Out. And at Wrestlemania 23, Batista put the rivalry to rest, as he pinned Booker T after a huge Batista Bomb. But that wasnt the last of it, as MARK HENRY shocked the world by returning, and dismantling the champion in the middle of the ring.
Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: BatistaWWE ChampionshipJohn Cena© vs Randy Orton
The 2 faces of the next generation squared off for the first time, as the WWE Champ faced the Royal Rumble winner. And at the end of the night, after an RKO, it was Randy Orton standing tall as the NEW WWE Champion. And it seemed as if the fans enjoyed it, chanting Orton's name as he held the belt up, and the confetti reigned down.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Randy Orton -
3 Way Draft Planned After Wrestlemania 23
Thats right fans, for the first time in WWE history, there will be a 3 way draft. All 3 brands, RAW, Smackdown! and ECW will partake in a lottery to see who will be switched between the shows.
WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon see's it as the perfect way to mix it up in his company, and we arent one to mess with him. The draft is expected to take part on WWE.com exclusivly after Wrestlemania 23. And the catch here is......EVERYONE IS UP FOR GRABS!
The way it works is as follows. Infront of Jonathan Coachman will be a bowl with balls in it, and in each one contains a piece of paper with a name on. All the names in Coachman's bowl will be from Smackdown! and ECW. All infront of Theodore Long will be RAW and ECW, and infront of ECW representitive, Joey Styles, will be the names of Smackdown! and RAW superstars.
Each brand gets 5 picks, and then they get to dip their hand in the 'Bonus Bowl' to select a 'Bonus Ball'. Apparently, the names inside these balls are the names of people who have the ability to shake the brand down to its very foundations.
We cant wait for Wrestlemania 23, and following that is the draft. Make sure you tune into wwe.com for that.

Hmmmm.....not sure if I liked this show as much as your first one, but it still had its good and bad.
Good:
Bernard destroyed Credible after the match to gain a little bit of credibility back.
CW vs Roode. I cant wait to see CW destroy Roode. I HATE THAT GUY!!
Bad: (Sadly there will be more here than above
)Kid Kash winning. Tajiri eliminates 2, and then nails Kash with a Buzzsaw kick but that doesnt win it? Hmmmm.....makes Kash look too strong IMO, especially as he then beats Tajiri straight after. Not that good for Tajiri.
The use of Kidman. I like the Vampiro/Saturn feud alot, but I dont like Kidman getting involved for NO reason. Kidman has no history with Saturn, surely going after someone like Tajiri, who he has history with and costing him the win would make more sense. Also, Saturn vs Kidman would suck eggs!
The main event. Credible won cleanly. And a Kendo Stick and a Superkick made your 'monster' bleed? It made Bernard look very weak, and like I said, the beatdown was good. But if Bernard doesnt get the belt next time, then you have wasted him IMO.
Apart from that, I look forward to the next show. Your Tv Show should make it easier to build it up and get some decent angles going.
Also, dont waste Bernard.....please!
-
1. Will Justin Credible retain his Universal Championship?
I think yes, but Im not sure how. How can Bernard lose uncleanly.....because for him to lose cleanly in a First Blood match so soon in, will kill any credibility he has as a monster. Also, Credible cant lose the belt, or that will lose overness. Will be interesting.
2. Who's going to claim the victory, Steve Corino or Chris Kanyon?
Not sure why a Falls Count Anywhere match to be honest, but Ill say Kanyon cheats to win.
3. How is Kidman going to return at War Of The Worlds?
Well I picked Kidman for your diary, so I hope he has a HUGE impact!
4. Who is going to win the Elimination Four Way match? And what title will they choose?
Tajiri I reckon, and then he will go after Roode.
5. Will Cade and Murdoch be successful on their XWA debut?
Yep. Not really hyped for a nothing team, but yeah they will win.
6. Who's going to accept Bobby Roode's title challenge?
Matt Striker. You said he would have an impact, but I just hope he doesnt win the belt. He isnt that good. But then again, neither is Roode.

FWA May-Day Preview
Sunday 27th May 07
Last Man Standing!
Back at New Beginnings, Dom Travis pinned Alex Shane in under one minute, to pick up the biggest win of his FWA career. What he and probably no one realised, that it would build to quite possibly the biggest match the FWA has seen this year. Alex Shane and Dom Travis have been at each other throats, with Travis not backing down last month at Death Row, as Shane hammered him with a chair. With Burchill in his corner, Travis has become one of the toughest stars on the FWA roster. but will he be the Last Man Standing?
Vansen vs Fleisch - FWA British Heavyweight Championship
Hade Vansen has proved over the last 4 months that he may not be the most 'fighting' champion, but he is certainly one of the smartest we have had in the FWA. He has used every trick in the book, and the aid of a masked man time and time again to defeat Williams 3.....thats 3 times, and also beat Sean O'Haire to retain. But now he faces Jody Fleisch, a former 2 time champion, and a man with a worldwide reputation. Vansen may be sneaky, but will he be able to beat 'The Phoenix'?
Pac vs Lethal - The Rematch
At Oblivion, Jay Lethal was invited by Don Callis to face Pac for the FWA Flyweight Championship. Just as Lethal looked set to dethrone Pac, Jonny Storm, who lost to Pac at Whole 9 Yards, prevented Lethal from winning the belt. He claimed that he should have the title shot. Storm and Lethal squared off for contendership, and Pac was the ref, counted the pinfall and Lethal won his shot. Now, Lethal and Pac are set to steal the show once again, in the highly awaited rematch.
Tighe and Kincade finally meet!
Its been brewing. Ever since Whole 9 Yards back in february, when Kincade retained the belt but Tighe attacked and stole it, the fans have been wiating to see this. And now they will. At Death Row, they signed the contract, and Tighe even nailed Kincade with his own title belt then. Hell.....when Kincade competed on Rage, Tighe invaded and tried to attack the champ, but came up short. 2 of FWA's brightest stars, fighting over the FWA All-England Championship. Dont miss this!
Tag Team Table Match
When Greg Lambert took over the managerial reigns of the UK Pitbulls, they suddenly acquired a new drive, assaulting the FWA Tag Team Champions, Stixx and Stone during an interview. Since then, they have been at each others throats ever since, and last month at Death Row, the UK Pitbulls captured the belts in a hardcore match, when Bulk nailed the Bulkishi Driver through the table. Stixx and Stone wanted their rematch, and challenged the UK Pitbulls on Rage to a tables match, which Lambert accepted. And this past week on Rage, the Uk Pitbulls sent Stone through a table to send a clear message. This one wont be for the feint hearted.
Also Scheduled
The feud that has been building on Rage will continue at May-Day, as 'The Pukka One' Darren Burridge will face 'Unbreakable' Stevie Lynn, and the ongoing feud between Joe Legend and Stevie Knight will come to a head, as they face off.
Fans, its coming to you from the Fratton Community Center, Portsmouth on Sunday 27th of May. Its FWA May-Day.....and this is a Distress Call!

FWA Rage TV Report: Wednesday 23th May 07
Hello fans, Robert Enright here. The best damn British Wrestling Reporter out there. I like that.....might be a future nickname. Anyways, just finished watching the last Rage before FWA May-Day. On with the report:
Ricky Knight vs Martin Stone
These 2 men kicked Rage off with a nice brawl, as they traded rights right from the start. Knight took advantage with a massive Sidewalk Slam, but Stone managed to kick out. Martin Stone rallied back, and nearly got the 3 count with an X Factor. Stone continued to dominate, and after hurling Knight through the turnbuckle into the actual ring post, he called for the London Bridge. The crowd cheered, but suddenly Bulk and Big D slide in and clobber Stone from behind. The ref called for the bell, and Lambert pulled a table out from under the ring, as his clients hammer away at Stone. They set the table up, and hauled Stone up.....PAIR DROP THROUGH THE TABLE!! The crowd booed, as the Tag Champs held their title belts high, as Stone layed motionless amongst the wreckage.
(CR:32 MQ:66 OR:49)
Rob's Thoughts: As if this match needed anymore build up, this has really got the fans riled up to see this match. Thats the second time Stone has been put through the table, and a really exciting way to open the show.
A video aired of James Tighe walking along the docks of Portsmouth. He spoke about his upcoming match, this sunday, with Leroy Kincade. He said that he grew up on these streets, and how fitting it was that he would claim the FWA All-England Championship in his hometown. Leroy Kincade doesnt stand a chance, because James Tighe....IS WRESTLING PERSONIFIED! Tighe beat his chest after saying that, and walked off.
(OR:38)
Rob's Thoughts: Tighe isnt the strongest promo giver in the company, and it showed. But I like that they are putting some effort in here, and the new 'Wrestling Personified' gimmick could be good for someone with Tighe's ability.
Repeat
Jody Fleisch vs Stevie Knight vs Joe Legend - Number One Contenders Match - Death Row
A repeat of this match was shown, and it showed all the major highlights. It showed Knight nailing Legend with a baseball slide, and Fleisch nailing a Flipping Plancha almost immediatly. Then Fleisch nailing Knight with a DDT off the top rope. Then Knight nailing a Double Missile Dropkick to both men. It then showed Knight dropkicking Legend from the ring, and turning into a Phoenix 720 DDT by Fleisch, to pick up the win.
(CR:58 MQ:74 OR:66)
Rob's Thoughts: A good match. Not one of the best, but it did its job of making Fleisch earn his title shot. Loved the top rope DDT. Was a great spot.
Joe Legend made his way to the ring, and the fans booed like crazy. He got on the mic, and said he did what he did to prove that he is the most dangerous man in the FWA. That no one, not even the beloved Doug Williams was safe. And even if Callis put security around a match, it still couldnt stop him. But he then made it abundantly clear, that he WOULD NOT face Doug Williams at May-Day.
Don Callis made his way out, and said thats fine with him. Because there is one other man who wants a piece of Legend before Williams tears him apart.The crowd cheered, as Stevie Knight hopped the fan barrier and entered, and after nailing a few rights, he sent Legend over the ropes with a clothesline. They stared down, as Callis smiled.
(OR:77)
Rob's Thoughts: Im loving Legend right now. Probably the best thing the FWA has going right now, he is becomming so hateable. And its good to see they havent dropped the Legend/Knight feud just yet.
Andy Simmonz & Pac vs New Breed
For a few weeks now, Simmonz has been on the wrong end of some 2 on 1 beatings by the New Breed. But this week, he dominated the match with the help of his tag partner, and FWA Flyweight Champion, Pac. They never really gave New Breed a shot, and Pac picked up the pin fall for his team when he nailed the 630 Splash on Curve, after Simmonz had given Curve the Butlerbuster. Pac held his title up to a big cheer.
(CR:39 MQ:83 OR:61)
Rob's Thoughts: Although Pac had nothing to do with this rivalry, I was glad he won. Makes him seem strong, and will be heading into his match with Lethal with some momentum.
Hade Vansen came to the ring with his FWA British Heavyweight Championship around his waist. He said that the FWA was his house, and that Rage was HIS show. And that he is fast becomming the most dominant FWA Champion in recent history, and that at May-Day, Fleisch would be just another name on the list.
This caused Fleisch to take to the ring, and he told Vansen that he better kiss that title belt goodbye, because the 'Phoenix' was ready to rise again. The 2 stared down and started trash talking, Vansen then slapped Fleisch. Fleisch responded how the crowd wanted.....he took Vansen down and a brawl broke out between the 2 men as Rage came to an end.
(OR:66)
Rob's Thoughts:Great way to end the show. The last thing before FWA May-Day is the planned main event exploding. Now there is some heat between the 2, which will make it a better match up for the fans to get into. Vansen is fast becomming a great heel champion.
_______________________________________________Overall Rage Rating: 60
Rob's Thoughts: Great way to finish hyping May-Day. Having Vansen and Fleisch go face to face, and then brawl was great entertainment and I cant wait for that match. Solid show, with Legend and the UK Pitbulls making an appearence, aswell as Pac. Cant wait for May-Day!
-
Great show man.....well written results.
I am slightly upset that Bernard and Saturn walked away strapless, but ah well. Also, I knew Kanyon would call out Cornio!
Great stuff man. keep it up.

Fans, this is the last Rage until FWA May-Day, and it looks to be a great show. As promised by FWA Management Director, Don Callis, the FWA British Heavyweight Champion, Hade Vansen WILL be at Rage tonight. With his title match with Jody Fleisch just a few days away, we cant wait to hear what the 'South City Thriller' has to say. And in our main event for the show, Andy Simmonz has found a tag team partner to face off against his rivals, the New Breed. His partner? None other than 'the man gravity forgot', and the reigning FWA Flyweight Champion, Pac.

And we are also expected to hear from James Tighe, just a few short days from his rematch with Leroy Kincade for the FWA All-England Championship.

COnfirmed Matches:
Ricky Knight vs Martin Stone
Repeat
Jody Fleisch vs Stevie Knight vs Joe Legend - Number One Contenders Match - Death Row
Andy Simmonz & Pac vs New Breed
-
1. Who will walk away with the XWA Universal Championship?
Hmmm.....Steve Corino is likely to be the obvious choice. Great in-ring skills, awesome on the mic. But its too obvious. He can be the man to build your company around, but he doesnt need the belt to do it. Credible would be nice, he's repayed Heyman's faith before. But I think Bernard should and will take it. Something original, and whoever topples Bernard eventually will have one hell of a task at hand. So Giant Bernard is my pick.
2. Who will be crowned the first Television Champion?
Perry Saturn. You know Im a Saturn mark, and out of the other guys....well....Saturn is legit!
3. Who will capture the Universal Tag Team Championships?
Hmmmm......tough one to call. Turkay and Burke are a new, fresh, upcoming tandem and could grow with a title run. But I see Heyman keeping faith with his ECW contingent of Doring and Roadkill. They will walk out victorious.
4. Who will the mystery man (or men) be at Xtreme Revolution?
DAMNIT! I remember you telling me this, but I completely forgot. Lol. Ive got about 3 or 4 names in my head right now.....lol. Im gonna go with Vampiro. I reckon Vampiro will turn up, and go after Saturn.
5. Which XWA superstar is Chris Kanyon going to call out?
Im trying to think who Kanyon has a past with, and for the life of me I cant see anyone. But a Kanyon/Corino feud would own, so I say he will screw Corino.
Looking forward to the show man. Good luck.

FWA Rage TV Report: Wednesday 16th May 07
Hello fans. For those who havent tuned into Rage this week, just finished watching it. Here's the report:
Stevie Lynn vs El Ligero
Pretty much what you would expect from this one. Lynn showed no remorse, as he mercilessly beat on El Ligero from the off, nailing some vicous chops and then scored with a big German Suplex. El Ligero, to the fans delight, started to come back into it, but missed a Moonsault that would prove costly. Lynn nailed the Brainbuster and picked up the 3 count. As he had his arm raised in victory, Darren Burridge entered, and nailed the 'Unbreakable' with the Fuzzy Dice Driver. He yelled 'EYE FOR AN EYE!', and then left to a good cheer.
(CR:43 MQ:81 OR:62)
Rob's Thoughts: Decent opener. El Ligero did his job, and that was to make Lynn look dominant. Lynn is a great talent, should be used more often, and its nice to see an actual feud between him and Burridge building.
Don Callis then came to the aisle with a mic, and said to the fans that next week on FWA Rage......the FWA British Heavyweight Champion, Hade Vansen will be in the house. This got alot of heat, as noone likes Vansen. lol.
(OR:86)
Rob's Thoughts: I actually thought this was clever booking. The fans may hate him, but Vansen is becomming a big draw in FWA. And by hyping his appearence on the show makes it seem like a big deal. Makes him and the title belt seem very prestigous.
Repeat
Hade Vansen vs Doug Williams - FWA British Heavyweight Championship - Death Row
I loved this match, the No Holds Barred title bout from Death Row. It showed all the major highlights including Williams nailing a Belly to Belly over the ropes, and Vansen clocking Williams with the Ring Bell. Vansen then nailed his Top Rope Fame-Asser, and Williams also nailed the Revolution DDT off the top rope through a table. It then showed the Joe Legend screw job, as Legend, disguised as a security guard entered and layed out Williams, allowing Vansen to retain.
(CR:51 MQ:79 OR:65)
Rob's Thoughts: I thoroughly enjoyed this match up, probably the best between Vansen and Williams and was everything it was hyped up to be. Great screw job finish that no one saw coming, and the disapointment that Vansen didnt drop the belt still hurts to this day. I love the Doug!
The second part of the Burchill interview aired. He said that he couldnt believe how lucky he was when he got called up, but was gutted when his debut was on Velocity by attacking Scotty 2 Hotty. He said that he was never given exposure, and his first feud was against one of the biggest jobbers in the WWE which hurt. He then said that he was sceptical about the 'Pirate' idea, but started to enjoy it, especially as it proved popular. But the WWE cut it short, and he was gutted because they said they had nothing for him and released him. He said he didnt regret going to the WWE, but he is home now, and ready to claim his place atop the FWA.
(OR:71)
Rob's Thoughts: Really interesting watch. Genuine thoughts of Burchill, and he really does have a story to tell. Im so glad he is back in the FWA, but talking about his WWE experiences will gain more viewers as casual fans will want to know what 'The Pirate Guy' is up to nowadays.
Non-Title
Leroy Kincade vs Jonny Storm
This match was a great main event, and both men showed off their arsenal, with the bigger Kincade flying through the air like Storm with a nice top rope missile dropkick. Storm almost won it when he nailed a DDT off the middle rope. Storm went for the Rewind, but Kincade reversed it into a Powerbomb, but only got a 2 count. Storm raked the eyes, and nailed the Wonderwhirl. But once again.....like so many times.....Storm got over cocky, and decided to pin with one foot! Kincade kicked out, and Storm angrily cornered the ref to protest. This gave Kincade enough time to get up and nail the Back Cracker for a 3 count!
(CR:43 MQ:75 OR:59)
Rob's Thoughts: This was a good way to end the show. 2 of FWA's best wrestlers going at it, and again Storm's ego causing him another defeat. Kincade is looking strong heading into his match with Tighe aswell.
As Kincade collected his title belt, James Tighe slid in and nailed him from behind. They traded rights, and the crowd cheered as Kincade got the better of Tighe, and sent him over the top rope with a clothesline. Kincade stared Tighe down, and held the FWA All-England Title belt high as the show came to its close for this week.
(OR:45)
Rob's Thoughts: For the first time in the feud, apart from the first match, Kincade has got the better of Tighe. It makes this seem more even, and Tighe maybe scared of Kincade. Decent way to build up the rematch for May-Day.
_____________________________________Overall Rage Rating: 62
Rob's Thoughts: Well another week gone, and another good show. Good main event, a nice announcement from Callis, a fantastic repeat match, and a beautiful segment with Burchill. For one hour, I think FWA is offering the best thing on The Wrestling Channel right now.

FWA Rage TV Report: Wednesday 9th May 07
Hey, Robert Enright here, and just finished watching this weeks Rage, which had a NEW logo as you can see. Very swanky! Good show this week, so here ya go:
Andy Simmonz vs Ashe /w Curve
Rage started off just like last week, with Simmonz facing a member of the New Breed. He wanted revenge on Ashe, and took it to him with some hard rights and clotheslines. He nailed a vicous looking neckbreaker for a 2 count. Simmonz was on fire, and he went for the Butlerbuster.....but Curve ran in and nailed a Spear. The referee called for the DQ, and the New Breed double teamed Simmonz, nailing a Double Team Implant DDT.
(CR:30 MQ:65 OR:47)
Rob's Thoughts: Another good opener. This continues to make the New Breed look like a dangerous tag team. I dont know whether or not they are being lined up for a tag title shot, but its good to keep tag teams alive. So decent booking.
After that match, Darren Buddige came out. He called Lynn a bitch for cheap shotting him last week, and demanded he come out and fight him like a real man. Lynn obliged quickly, and as soon as he entered the ring, he and Burridge started trading rights. They fell to the floor and rolled around, throwing punch after punch at each other, and Lynn's eyebrow got busted open in the process. Road agents and officials raced out, and broke up the fight, much to the dismay of the crowd.
(OR:63)
Rob's Thoughts: Im liking this. Burridge is great, and Im glad to see him on FWA TV. And making Lynn this bad ass heel, who would rather fight than talk is great. Hopefully this leads somewhere.
Repeat
Stixx and Stone vs UK Pitbulls - FWA Tag Team Championship - Death Row
The tag title match was replayed, and it showed these 4 men taking it to each other in a hardcore tag match. It showed Stixx dropkicking a trash can into Bulk's face, and Stone nailing Big D with a steel chair. It then showed Stone spearing Bulk out of the ring. It then showed Lambert pepper spraying Stone, allowing Bulk to nail a Bulkishi Driver off the apron through a table, as Stixx nailed a DDT onto the trash can. Bulk got the pin, and he and Big D were named FWA Tag Team Champions!
(CR:27 MQ:77 OR:52)
Rob's Thoughts: Nice tag match. One of the best in FWA, and its nice to rewatch it. Good matches, and a great bump to end it. Well worth another watch.
After that, Stixx and Stone made their way out to the ring, to a good cheer. They called the UK Pitbulls out, saying that they want their rematch and they want it at May-Day. Lambert then came out, and said that his clients dont have to answer to them, or anybody. This then brought out Don Callis, who said that they all have to answer to HIM! And he said the match will take place at May-Day.....IN A TABLE ELIMINATION MATCH! The crowd popped wildly for the announcement, and Lambert looked stunned in the aisle way, as Stixx and Martin Stone smiled.
(OR:47)
Rob's Thoughts: Im really glad to see that BoD has tried to breath some life into a dying division. This feud is starting to really kick off, and that match at May-Day will be highly anticipated now.
The first part of the Paul Burchill interview aired. Burchill said that he loved growing up in the FWA, and was sad to leave in his opinion, too soon. He had so much to accomplish in england, he never even held an FWA title. But he said that in the OVW, he was having a great time, facing off against some of the best INDY talent in the world. And when the call up to Smackdown came he was thrilled. The next part of the interview, which is where Burchill talks about his WWE experiences, will air next week according to Dann Read. I WANNA HEAR IT NOW!
(OR:67)
Rob's Thoughts: This seemed really genuine. I dont think its scripted. I think it is a good way to keep Burchill on air while he cant compete, and that it makes him even more popular if he is honest. Nice interview, cant wait for the next part!
No-DQ
Dom Travis vs Joe Legend
This was the match we have been waiting for all evening, and these 2 men went at it straight away, with hard rights. Legend took advantage with a Samoan Drop, and went outside and brought in a chair. Travis nailed a massive leg lariat, and then Spinebuster onto the chair itself. He went for the Northern Lights Bomb, but Legend wriggled free and nailed the Blackout Legsweep for a 2 count. Legend went for the A.D.D. but Travis managed to get free, and nailed a massive Rock Bottom. As he called for the Northern Lights Bomb, Alex Shane stormed the ring, picked up the chair, and hammered Travis over the head with it. Its no DQ, so its legal I guess. Legend hauled Travis up, nailed the Godzilla Choke Bomb and got the pinfall. As Legend left, Shane re-entered and nailed Travis with the One Night Stand. He then yelled 'GET UP NOW YOU LITTLE BITCH! as he stood over the fallen body of Travis.
(CR:56 MQ:75 OR:65)
Rob's Thoughts: Solid main event. They went for 15 minutes, and it was a solid brawl, with some technical moves thrown in. Entertaining, and Alex Shane getting involved will really spice up the Travis/Shane feud. And Legend looked strong, so this was a good way to end the show.
__________________________________________Overall Rage Rating: 58
Rob's Thoughts: Better than last weeks, and if the FWA keep it up, this could be the best show on TWC. Good solid hour of action, and it not only showcases the lesser known talents, it is helping to build feuds. Keep em rolling!

THE FINALISED LINE UP FOR NO WAY OUT 2002
THREE STAGES OF HELL MATCH
Test vs. The Undertaker
(The First Fall - Singles Match; The Second Fall - Street Fight; The Third Fall - Ambulance Match)
Its been a great feud, and Im glad to see Test finally being used properly. In 2001, Test was being groomed into a main event player, no doubt about it. He will look strong, but Taker will win it ultimately. I see Test winning the street fight, so he looks like a bad ass.
WWF CHAMPIONSHIP 2-ON-1 HANDICAP MATCH
The Rock © vs. Vince McMahon & The British Bulldog
Rock vs Taker will be your Mania main event, so despite every underhanded tactic, The Rock will defy the odds and walk out with the belt still around his People's Waist!
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kane (w/Paul Heyman)
I see Kane winning this, with the help of Paul Heyman. This could lead to a gimmick rematch at Mania, which would rule. Austin will give Kane a real beating though, but Heyman will ensure his client walks out with the victory.
Kurt Angle vs. Rob Van Dam
I see this being a draw. Both men will be made to look strong, and a rematch will ensue at Mania, which will be a classic. Please use RVD correctly. He was so popular in 2001, still is, but back then, when he first came to the WWF, he could of really been a major player.
WWF HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Key (w/Charles Wright) © vs. Sabu
Sabu doesnt need the belt for people to know he is hardcore. And Key is fast becomming a dominant champion, and adding Sabu's name to the list will make him seem even more unbeatable.
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWF WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP
Trish Stratus © vs. Jazz vs. Daffney Unger
I see Trish pinning Jazz, which takes her out of the equation, which leaves Daffney to take the belt from Trish at Wrestlemania.
Edge vs. Lance Storm
I think Edge will take it. he came off a big defeat to Stasiak last month, and needs a PPV win to regain his momentum. Storm would be great to push, but Edge is more established, and needs to look good heading to Wrestlemania.
PLUS THE RETURN OF DX!!
Could be good, but Im never too keen on DX returns in diaries. They are all the same. But with your writing, and the build up so far, this could turn out to be awesome. I hope so.
WWF HEAT MAIN EVENT
Funaki vs. TAKA Michinoku
Not really too interested, but Taka is the better wrestler. And should be made to look like it.

FWA Rage Tv Report: Wednesday 2nd May 07
Hello again fans, Robert Enright here. And I just finished watching the FIRST EVER FWA Rage on The Wrestling Channel. So lets get on with it shall we?
The show started, and Don Callis made his way to the ring. The crowd gave him a good reception, and he took the mic. He welcomed everyone to Rage, saying that this was the building block into making the FWA a real force in wrestling. He then said next week, we would get the first of a 2 part interview with Paul Burchill, that is exclusive to FWA Rage. And then announced that next week, right here on Rage, we will see Dom Travis take on Joe Legend in a No-DQ match, because Travis needed to be prepared for the Last Man Standing match. And Legend had Doug Williams on his case, so he better toughen up.
(OR:62)
Rob's Thoughts: Decent start to the show, Callis talking to the fans. Not sure about the whole 'force in wrestling' thing, but this defiantly gives FWA more exposure. And Legend vs Travis next week will rock!
Andy Simmonz vs Curve /w Ashe
These 2 men gave a nice little match for the fans, and Simmonz took it to Curve in the early goings on, and nailed a nice missile dropkick, but only got a 2 count. Curve came back into it, and nearly won it with a DDT. Simmonz floored CUrve with a powerslam, and went for the Simmonz Splash, but Ashe pushed him off the top. Curve went to the top rope, and nailed the Flying Body Press for the win.
(CR:31 MQ:64 OR:47)
Rob's Thoughts: Decent little match up. Good to see Simmonz back on FWA programming. This match did nothing more than keep Ashe and Curve fresh in our minds as a heel tag team.
An interview was then shown, from Death Row, immediatly after a worn out Fleisch had just won number one contendership. Ben Sowahon asked him if he was ready to take the title. Fleisch said it didnt matter it if was Williams or Vansen who had the belt, because no matter what, The Phoenix would rise once again, and he would walk out of May-Day as a THREE time FWA Heavyweight Champion.
(OR:63)
Rob's Thoughts: Good to see that they are going to use the TV Show to try and build up matches for May-Day. Flesich keeping it short and sweet as his mic skills arent amazing, but put his point across well. He has been kept strong during his battles with Knight and Legend, so he does seem like a real threat to Vansen at the moment.
Darren Burridge vs Stevie Lynn
'The Pukka One' and the 'Unbreakable' put on a good technical match for the fans, and started off with some chain wrestling. Lynn took control with a series of nice snap suplex's, but Burridge reversed a German Suplex into a Stunner. Burridge locked on a Camel Clutch, but Lynn got the ropes. As Lynn went for a Brainbuster, Burridge wriggled out, and rolled him up for the 3 count.
(CR:49 MQ:84 OR:66)
Rob's Thoughts: These 2 men havent been used much since BoD took over as head booker, so good to see them getting some air time. Nice match, went for a good 12 or so minutes, and Burridge got the win that will send the fans home happy.
After the match, an angered Lynn nailed a low blow on Burridge, and then locked him in a Sharpshooter. Burridge was tapping, but Lynn refused to let go, and road agents and backstage staff had to come out to pull him off. The crowd booed him, as Burridge layed in pain.
(OR:54)
Rob's Thoughts: Hmmmm.....could be the beginning of a feud perhaps? Great way to solidify Lynn as a dangerous heel, as we all know his technical ability. Burridge wont take this lying down, so this could lead to an entertaining feud.
Repeat
Alex Shane vs Dom Travis at FWA Death Row
The match from Death Row was shown, and it showed them rolling around punching each other, and then Alex Shane hammering Travis with the steel chair to get himself DQed. It then showed him hammering away at Travis again and again until Paul Burchill got in and Alex Shane stepped down. It then showed Dom Travis getting up, and challenging Alex Shane to a 'Last Man Standing' match at May-Day.
(CR:47 MQ:87 OR:67)
Rob's Thoughts: Nice way to end the show, with a repeat of well....not really a match, but definatly one of the most entertaining parts of Death Row.
___________________________________________Overall Rage Rating: 61
Rob's Thoughts: I liked it. I wasnt expecting all the top stars on the show, and we didnt get them. But the matches were nice to watch, as it showcased the lesser known FWA stars, and we got an interview with the number one contender. A good start, and it did have the 'Old WWF' feel to it. Cant wait for next week!

FWA News: NEW TV Show, Alex Shane interview, Jay Lethal's Status
The biggest show in FWA history ended with a huge announcement. That the FWA would now have a weekly show, every wednesday night at 10pm on the Wrestling Channel. One hour a week would certainly give the FWA more exposure.
I managed to get a sit down interview for a few minutes with the 'Showstealer' Alex Shane, one of the biggest stars in FWA, and also a man who does plenty behind the scenes. Here is the short, but oh so sweet, interview:
So Alex, it must be exciting times at the FWA right now, especially with the new TV Show?
AS: It really is. It just shows how much we have grown since the beginning, and now the fans can see a weekly dose of the FWA. And it means I have alot more work to do. ha ha.
Thats right, because you work alot behind the scenes. Its no secret that the FWA doesnt havent truckloads of money, so how will this TV show work?
AS: Well right now, we are going to be going with an old school 'WWF' feel to it. Have a few matches, but to really see the big matches, you will have to attend the big shows. Our major guys like Doug[Williams], [Hade]Vansen, Jody[Fleisch], Jonny[storm].....they all have commitments with other companies that we have to respect. So you cant expect them to turn up for every filming session. So the main idea now is to have them in a few matches when they can work, have promo's etc for feud buildings, and repeat matches from the events that have been held recently. Also, it will give guys like Andy Simmoz, Stevie Lynn and that lot to get some air time in the FWA, as they will be the ones who will wrestle often on the show.
Thats understandable, because alot of British workers are garnering alot more exposure these days arent they?
AS: They are. I mean, Paul Burchill made it into the WWE for christs sake! But their loss, is our gain. But guys like Williams, Storm and I reckon sooner or later, Pac will be competing in the US and Japan.
Speaking of Burchill, you guys have had a few confrontations over the past months since he returned. AS: Any chance of the eagerly awaited Alex Shane vs Paul Burchill match?
Look.....if Burchill wants some, he can come get some. Right now, Im looking forward to ending Dom Travis's career!
Well Alex, thanks you for your time, and good luck at May-Day.
AS: Your welcome.....and you know that I dont need luck. Because at that show.....IM GONNA STEAL IT!
Also, Jay Lethal now has a profile on the FWA roster, which leads many to believe he has signed up for numerous appearences for the FWA. He has a FWA Flyweight Championship match with Pac at May-Day.
Anyways, thats all from me, and check back at www.frontierwrestling.co.uk for more information on the first ever FWA Rage show this week.

FWA Death Row
Sunday 29th April 2007
Fans its me again, Robert Enright, Rajah's one and only British Wrestling Reporter. The Harrow High School Gymnasium was packed, not an empty seat in the house. 280 people were here for this, so lets get on with it:
Number One Contendership To The FWA British Heavyweight Championship
Jody Fleisch vs Stevie Knight vs Joe Legend
Fleisch got a huge cheer, and this match was a great way to kick off the show. Fleisch and Knight immediatly attacked Legend, nailing him with rights. They sent him to the ropes, and nailed a double dropkick. They then pulled Legend up, and hurled him through the ropes. As Legend got up, Knight ran and nailed a baseball slide, knocking him against the fan rail, and Fleisch ran.....AND NAILED A FLIPPING PLANCHA ON LEGEND! The crowd rose to their feet, and a big 'FWA' chant echoed. Fleisch rolled back in, and immediatly, Knight stomped on him. Knight angrily hauled Fleisch up, and whipped him to the ropes, and nailed a nice Powerslam. He got a 2 count, and Knight pulled Fleisch up, and threw him into the turnbuckle. He nailed some hard rights, and then sat Fleisch on the top rope. He climbed up next to him, but Fleisch nailed some rights.....AND LEAPT OFF WITH KNIGHT.....TOP ROPE DDT!! The crowd went wild, and Fleisch covered.....1......2...LEGEND IS BACK IN AND BROKE IT UP! Legend angrily pulls Fleisch up, knee to the gut.....BACKBREAKER!!
He turned his attentions to Knight, and nailed a sickening big boot as he got up. He then wipped Knight to the ropes, and nailed a hard clothesline, followed bya massive elbow drop. He turned, and Fleisch came off the ropes, but Legend caught him......CAPTURE SUPLEX!! He covered.....but Fleisch kicked out. Legend pulled Fleisch up, and whipped him into the turnbuckle. He nailed some hard shoulder blocks, and then whipped Knight across to the other turnbuckle. But as Legend charged, Fleisch nailed a spinning wheel kick. He pulled Legend up, and they traded rights, and Knight climbed to the top rope......DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK!! The crowd went mad, and Knight covered Legend, but Legend kicked out at 2. Knight pulled Fleisch up, but Fleisch nailed a jaw breaker, ran to the ropes, and nailed a spinning headscissors take over. Fleisch turned, and got flattened by a sickening big boot by Legend.
Legend pulled Knight up, and went for the Godzille Choke Bomb. But Knight wriggled free, and he dropkicked Legend through the ropes. As Knight turned, Fleisch was on the apron, and he jumped onto the rope, and leapt off.....PHOENIX 720 DDT!! He covered.....1......2......3!! FLEISCH WINS IT! Legend is on the outside, and he couldnt believe it. Fleisch leaves up the aisle, still celebrating his win. FLEISCH IS NOW INLINE FOR A TITLE SHOT!
Winner and Number One Contender To The FWA British Heavyweight Championship: Jody Fleisch
(CR:58 MQ:74 OR:66)
Rob's Thoughts: What a way to kick off the show. Fleisch has a title shot now, and Legend remains dominant as he wasnt pinned. Feel bad for Knight, as he seemed like the only one without a real shot of winning. Ah well.....Fleisch will be looking for a third title reign now!
After the match, Legend angrily grabbed a mic from the time keeper. He said that Fleisch is the luckiest piece of trash, as that title shot should be his. But it doesnt matter.....because very soon, everyone in the FWA, and all the fans will realise just how dangerous Joe Legend truly is. Legend then stormed off to alot of heat.
(OR:67)
Rob's Thoughts: I like the way the FWA are building Legend as a major heel, and by giving him mic time, it solidifies it. What has he got instore for us? I cant wait!
FWA Tag Team Championships
Hardcore
Stixx & Stone© vs UK Pitbulls /w Greg Lambert
This match got started in the aisle way, as the Tag Champs wasted little time in waiting for their opponents to hit the ring. Stixx and Bulk brawled toward the ring, as Stone rammed Big D into the fan barrier. Stixx slammed Bulk into the steel steps, and then went under the ring. The crowd went wild, as he pulled out a Kendo Stick, and he slammed it against the ribs of Bulk, and then cracked him over the head with it. On the rampway, Greg Lambert hit Stone from behind with a right, and as Stone went for Lambert, Big D nailed a shuffle sidekick, sending him down. Big D charged down the ramp, and squashed Stixx against the ring apron. He then pulled Stixx up, and rammed him face first into the ring post, and covered.....but Stixx kicked out. Big D rolled him into the ring, and hurled the Kendo Stick in, along with a trash can, a steel chair, and a stop sign. How cliche!
He entered, and stalked Stixx with a trash can. But Stixx ducked the attempt, and as Big D turned, Stixx dropkicked the trash can right into his face. The crowd cheered, and Stixx pulled the trash can up, and slammed it in the corner. He pulled Big D up, but Bulk entered and hit Stixx in the back with the stop sign. Stixx went down, and Bulk pulled him up, and whipped him face first into the trash can, and Stixx is bleeding now. Stone entered, and he took Bulk down with a clothesline, and then nailed Big D with a DDT, and the crowd seemed more interested in this match now all 4 men are in the ring. Stone picked up the steel chair, and he hammered Big D in the spine with it, turned.....and Bulk nailed him in the gut with kendo stick. Stone dropped the chair, but ducked the following shot, and he speared Bulk.....AND BOTH MEN FELL OUT OF THE RING!! The crowd cheered, and in the ring, Stixx is back up, bleeding, and he pulled Big D up, and nailed him with a hard shot to the head with the trash can lid.....BENDING IT COMPLETELY!
Outside the ring, the crowd cheered, as Martin Stone pulled a table out from under the ring, and set it up. The Tag Champs are taking it to the UK Pitbulls, and the fans are loving it. Stone slowly pulled Bulk up onto the apron, overlooking the table, while in the ring, Stixx laid the trash can on the mat, and pulls Big D up. On the apron however, Lambert gets up......AND PEPPER SPRAYS MARTIN STONE!! The crowd boo, and Bulk lifted him up.....BULKISHI DRIVER OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE TABLE!! The crowd went wild for the spot, and in the ring, Stixx nailed Big D with a DDT onto the trash can. But Bulk covers first.....1.......2.....3!! THE UK PITBULLS HAVE WON THE TAG TITLES!! Stixx cant believe it, and Lambert quickly grabbed the belts, and held them up high, as Bulk pulled his laid out partner out of the ring. Stone lays motionless amongst the wreckage on the outside.
Winners and NEW FWA Tag Team Champions: UK Pitbulls
(CR:27 MQ:77 OR:52)
Rob's Thoughts: NEW TAG CHAMPS! A good decision, and the ending made it seem that it could go either way, and should draw this feud out a little longer. Nice to see a title change every now and then, and the UK Pitbulls are a solid team to put the belts on.
Number One Contendership To The FWA Flyweight Championship
Special Guest Referee: Pac
Jonny Storm vs Jay Lethal
Lethal got another big reception, and Pac made it quite clear to both men that he was going to call this down the middle. They started off with some chain wrestling, neither man getting a clear advantage, as everything Storm tried, Lethal had an answer for. Lethal nailed a hip toss, and then laid Storm out with a dropkick. He went off the ropes, and nailed a leg drop, but only got a 1 count. He pulled Storm up, and Storm broke free and nailed a knee to the gut, followed by a gut buster. He covered, and got a 2 count. He pulled Lethal up, and whipped him hard into the turnbuckle, bounced off the ropes, and nailed a massive bulldog. He turned and motioned to Pac that the belt would be his. Lethal got back up, and nailed a Hurricanrana on Storm, and pinned....1.....2...KICK OUT! Storm rolled out of the ring for a few moments, and Lethal looked at the fans, who went crazy. He raced to the ropes.....FLIPPING PLANCHA OVER THEM.....STORM MOVED!! Lethal landed hard on the outside, and the crowd boo as Storm laughed. He pointed to his head, and said 'ALWAYS A STEP AHEAD!' And he is....that sneaky bastard!
Storm pulled the hurt Lethal up, and rolled him into the ring. He then went to the top rope.....AND NAILED THE THUNDERSTORM! (Senton Splash) He covered....1.....2...KICK OUT! He argued with Pac that it was a slow count, and Pac ignored him. Storm pulled Lethal up, and went for the Wonderwhirl, but Lethal wriggled free, went to the ropes.....ducked a clothesline....AND NAILED STORM WITH A SWINGING TORNADO DDT!! The crowd cheered and he covered....1.....2...KICK OUT! He pulled Storm up, but Storm grabbed his foot.....ENZUFURY!! The crowd cheered, and Lethal covered....and again got a 2 count. He glared at Pac, who made it clear it was 2. With Storm down, Lethal went to the top rope.....but Storm is up......hops up next to him......PERFECT STORM!! (Japanes Arm Drag)....RIGHT OFF THE TOP ROPE!! Storm covered.....AND AGAIN....LETHAL KICKED OUT! The crowd applauded wildly, both men refusing to go down here. Storm pulled Lethal up, and went for a Powerbomb, but Lethal went off the ropes......LETHAL DRIVER!! The crowd cheered, and he covered....1.......2......NO!! STORM GOT THE SHOULDER UP!
Lethal angrily pulled Storm up, and nailed a snap suplex. He went to the top rope.....DIVING HEADBUTT.....STORM ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!! Lethal got up woozily, and just so happened to wonder infront of the turnbuckle. Storm charaged, leapt over him, bounced off the top rope......REWIND STORMIN STEINER.....NO.....LETHAL NAILS THE LETHAL INJECTION!! The crowd went wild, and Lethal covered....1......2.....3!! LETHAL WINS IT! The crowd went wild, and Pac raised Lethal's hand in triumph. Pac then held up the FWA Flyweight Championship belt between him and Lethal, as they stared down.
Winner and Number One Contender To The FWA Flyweight Championship: Jay Lethal
(CR:32 MQ:86 OR:59)
Rob's Thoughts: Great match. A bit of a spotfest, but will be good for any fans of quick paced, high flying wrestling. Storm did the job, and now hopefully can move away from the division. He's helped make it credible enough now. Also, Pac vs Lethal was great at Oblivion....so the title match will kick arse.
After the ring was cleared, a table was placed in the ring, and the crowd cheered as Don Callis walked out. He entered the ring with 2 clipboards, and placed them either side of the table. He took a mic, and said that he has drawn up contracts that he wants Leroy Kincade and James Tighe to sign, so they will face off for the FWA All-England Championship at May-Day. Leroy Kincade came out first, to a good cheer, and said absolutly nothing....he just signed the contract.
Next, James Tighe walked out, with Kincade's title belt around his waist. He entered, and said that this title belt will be coming back to his waist next month. Callis demanded that Tighe hand Kincade his belt, and as Tighe went to do it.....HE FLATTENED KINCADE WITH IT! The crowd booed, and Tighe dropped the belt on him, and signed the contract. He slammed the clipboard into Callis's chest, and walked off, and the crowd booed him out the arena.
(OR:43)
Rob's Thoughts: Nice little segment. Was longer than I wrote, but couldnt remember what was said between Tighe and Callis. Tighe is really getting over as a heel, and this title match will be eagerly awaited.
Alex Shane vs Dom Travis /w Paul Burchill
When Travis walked out, he got a little cheer, but Burchill got a huge cheer as he walked out with him. Burchill watched at ringside, and as soon as Travis entered, Shane stomped on him. He roughly pulled him up, and whipped him to the ropes, but Travis reversed it and sent Shane down with a clothesline. Shane got up and went nose to nose with a man who was the same height and weight as him. Shane shoved Travis, who shoved back, and Shane took Travis down by the legs and began hammering him with rights. Travis rolled on top and began hammering Shane with rights. They eventually rolled out of the ring, and continued their brawl on the outside. Shane got up first, and he booted Travis in the gut, and then rammed him into the steel steps. Travis got up slightly dazed, and Alex Shane picked up a chair......WHACK!! HE HAMMERED TRAVIS OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!! The referee immediatly called for the bell, and Alex Shane threw the chair into the ring, and rolled Travis is an aswell. Burchill looked on worried, as a massive 'WE WANT BURCHILL!' chant started up.
Shane picked up the chair and stalked Travis as he got up. As Travis turned.....WHACK!! ANOTHER SICKENING SHOT! The crowd are really booing Shane, who points at Burchill and yells 'THIS IS YOUR FAULT!' Travis is bleeding, and he slowly gets up to his feet again. He turned, and Shane through the chair and he caught it......SHANESATION KICK.....RIGHT INTO THE CHAIR!! The crowd booed, and Alex Shane raises his hands to taunt them. Paul Burchill has a mic in his hand, and as Shane went to pick Travis up again, Burchill entered the ring. He said 'HE'S HAD ENOUGH SHANE!' and Shane calmly exits the ring, and walks up to the back.
Winner by DQ: Dom Travis
(CR:47 MQ:87 OR:67)
Rob's Thoughts: Intriguing angle here. Shane really wants to just hurt Travis, and by losing the matches, it solidifies him as a maniac, and also gets Travis more and more over.
As Shane was leaving, a bloodied Dom Travis pulled himself up, and took the mic off Paul Burchill. He said no offence Paul, but Ill decide when Ive had enough. And Shane.....IM STILL STANDING! He said that Shane can hit him with chairs, he can slam him through tables, but Travis is still standing. And at May-Day....he challenges Alex Shane.....to a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!!
The crowd cheered, and Shane looked a mixture of anger and is that fear? Burchill looked shocked at Travis's challenge, and the crowd cheered the bloodied Travis, as he screamed at Shane. Shane left without answering.
(OR:66)
Rob's Thoughts: Nice!!! Shane vs Travis is becomming the brutal feud that the FWA has been looking for. And Travis not backing down is really making him seem legit. This Last Man Standing match might not be a technical masterpiece, but it will be one hell of a fight. I CANT WAIT!
After the ring was cleared, 8 security guards walked down the ramp, and they stood at all the corners of the fan barrier, to ensure no masked men could get involved. FWA British Heavyweight Championship time......THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!
FWA British Heavyweight Championship
No Holds Barred
Hade Vansen© vs Doug Williams
Vansen got good heat as he came out, but Williams got a massive ovation. The 2 stared down, as the ref held the belt up. The third and final chapter of the Williams/Vansen saga is about to begin. They hooked up, and Williams went behind, and took Vansen down. he locked on a headlock, but Vansen wriggled free, and nailed a snapmare, and then booted Williams right in the base of the spine. He bounced off the ropes, and flipped over Williams, and pulled his head forward, causing him to snap backwards. Vansen has started with a fire in his belly, and he pulled Williams up, and slammed his head off the turnbuckle, and then nailed a hard martial arts kick to the stomach. He went for another one, but Williams grabbed his foot, pulled him in.....BELLY TO BELLY OVER THE ROPES! The crowd went wild, and Vansen landed hard. Williams rolled out, and he pulled Vansen up, and roughly hurled him into the fan barrier, and then nailed some stinging chops, which the crowd 'WOOOOED' at. For 2 'technical' wrestlers, they are putting on a real fight here.
Williams angrily runs, and throws Vansen across the time keepers table, knocking off everything that was on it. The crowd cheered, and as Williams went round to pick Vansen up......DING! VANSEN NAILED HIM WITH THE RING BELL!! The crowd booed, and Vansen angrily ran and slammed a dazed Williams into the ring steps. Vansen looked under the ring, and the crowd cheered, as he pulled out a table. Havent we seen enough of them tonight? Vansen slid it into the ring, and as he went for Williams, the 'Anarchist' nailed a hard right, and slammed Vansen's head off the ring apron. He rolled Vansen into the ring, and to a big cheer, picked up a steel chair and entered. As Vansen got up, Williams jabbed him in the ribs with it.....AND THEN WHAM! A HARD SHOT TO THE SPINE!! The crowd went wild, as Williams held the chair up. He dropped it, and vicously whipped Vansen to the ropes......AND NAILED A BELLY TO BELLY AS HE CAME BACK!! Williams covered....1.....2...KICK OUT! Williams got up, and he sent Vansen to the turnbuckle. He sat him up on the top rope, and began to climb.....but Vansen kicked him off. As he stumbled back, Vansen leapt off.....TOP ROPE FAME-ASSER.....ONTO THE CHAIR!! The crowd gave a massive 'FWA!' chant to that.
Vansen covered....1.....2....KICK OUT!! He couldnt believe it, and the crowd cheered for the 'Anarchist'. Vansen pulled Williams up, and whipped him to the ropes, and nailed a nice Powerslam as he came back. He then picked up the table, and he set it up by the turnbuckle. The crowd were on their feet, and he pulled Williams over.....SUPLEX.....NO! Williams lifted Vansen up for a suplex, dropped him onto his shoulder.....AND NAILED A SAMOAN DROP! That was awesome! GOD I LOVE DOUG WILLIAMS!! Williams covered....1.......2....KICK OUT!! Williams cant believe it, and he pulls Vansen up.....LOW BLOW!! The crowd booed, and the referee cant do anything about it. Vansen pulled Williams around the table to the turnbuckle, and slammed his head off it a few times. He then sat Williams on the top rope, and climbed up next to him. He goes for A TOP ROPE SOUTH CITY DRILLER.....BUT WILLIAMS NAILED A HEADBUTT! Vansen is dazed next to him on the top rope, and Williams leaps off with him.....REVOLUTION DDT.....THROUGH THE TABLE!!
The crowd went wild, and Williams covered....1......2....SOMEONE PULLED THE REF OUT OF THE RING! The crowd boo as a Security Guard enters the ring, and Williams turns......RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT! The man rips off his hat.....and now obvious fake moustache.....ITS JOE LEGEND!! The crowd were going mad with boo's, and Legend picked the chair up, and levelled the Anarchist with it. Williams went down hard, and Legend hauled him up.....AND NAILED THE GODZILLA CHOKE BOMB!! The crowd are booing, and Legend leaves the ring, and the other security guards grab him and begin leading him up the aisle way. In the ring, the ref is back in, and Hade Vansen drapes a hand over Williams....1.....2.....3!! NO!! NO!! NO!! WILLIAMS HAS BEEN SCREWED AGAIN!! VANSEN HAS RETAINED!!
Winner and STILL FWA British Heavyweight Champion: Hade Vansen
(CR:51 MQ:79 OR:65)
Rob's Thoughts: DAMN IT! I felt for sure that BoD would put the belt on Williams. Ah well....great main event, and you just know that there will be hell to pay for Legend! Awesome main event, and a great table spot between the 2 men. Good end to a good feud.
As Vansen was helped to his feet, Callis's music hit, and the crowd cheered wildly. He came out and said once again, Hade Vansen had managed to secure his title belt. But he has secured something much better. A TV SHOW!! The crowd went nuts at that announcement. Callis said that on Wednesday 2nd May, at 10pm on the Wrestling Channel, FWA will present Rage....a one hour weekly dose of FWA! The crowd went wild, and Vansen held his title belt as Death Row finished.
(OR:72)
Rob's Thoughts: WEEKLY DOSE OF FWA!! AWESOME!! A HUGE step for the FWA< as they now have a tv show.....be interesting to see how its booked. Not much significance storyline wise, but a great way to end the show after the main event, with that announcement.
________________________________________Overall Death Row Rating: 62
Rob's Thoughts: Well I thoroughly enjoyed this event. Had an awesome main event with a great ending, a title change, some great number one contenders matches, and ofcourse, the announcement of a TV Program. Not as solidly booked as Oblivion, but was still a great show, worth checking out. An 8 out of 10 from me.
-
AWESOME RAW!!
I marked out for the alliance of RVD and Sabu. They have so much history, and now they coincidently help each other out.
Great to finally see Stone Cold stand up to Kane, and whoop some serious ass. Austin is the man, and he vs Kane will be electric when it happens.
And finally.....2 out of 3 falls! AWESOME!! Most people save it for technical wrestlers, but this will be brutal and bloody. Taker will go over I believe, but Test will come out looking strong, and should then take the IC Title.
Overall, this is an awesome diary man. keep it up, and cant wait for No Way Out.
-
Im really enjoying this. I love the whole 'is it a work, is it a shoot?' thing you got going on. Great read, and good to see Austin and Rock on the same page to fight it.
Always bugged me that Austin joined the alliance, he is WWF's main guy.
