California Dreams
July 30th 2005
Beach House Plex, California
Finally Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling is heading out to the west coast, with one of the most loaded cards in history. SWEW are bringing hate, love and violence to the Beach House Plex in California with a huge double main event. The first main event sees Low-Ki get his first SWEW Heavyweight Championship in over a year as he takes on champion Austin Aries. Our second main event a tale of love, deceit and violence sees Jimmy Rave take on Matt Sydal who will be accompanied by the women who both men have affection for Daizee Haze in a No DQ, Fall Count Anywhere match. These are only two matches for our debut in California which will see much more including the debut of Indy star 'The Notorious 187’ Homicide as he teams up with AJ Styles who is looking to get revenge of Chris Ca$h and Trent Acid in tag team action.
Falls Count Anywhere
No DQ
Jimmy Rave vs. Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze)
This one has had everything as these two young guns look to impress in the final match of the evening at ‘California Dreams’. To summarize in a few words, Matt goes out with Daizee, Jimmy tries to hit on Daizee, Matt ain’t happy. Matt and Jimmy have matches, Jimmy cheats and wins on several occasions. Jimmy kisses Daizee, Matt wants revenge. Matt and Jimmy have one final match and Matt finally wins. Matt is a second away from becoming SWEW Heavyweight Champion until Jimmy costs him the match. Matt once again wants revenge and promises to destroy Rave in California.
That is basically the story between the duo. Matt Sydal who at the ‘Anniversary Show’ had Austin Aries pinned in the main event only for Jimmy Rave to pull Sydal out of the ring and cost him becoming the new SWES Heavyweight Champion. Sydal has promised that he is going to mess Rave up real bad and drag his body all the way through the Beach House Plex, as he looks for his final revenge on Jimmy Rave who has been the bane of Sydals life in 2005. Jimmy himself is also confident as he sees beating Sydal in this match will finally elevate him to true ‘main event’ status and claims that Daizee Haze is going to show here true colour and join up with Jimmy on Saturday night. What ever happens, it is going to be a bloody fight between these two young stars looking to reach the next level in there career.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) vs. Low-Ki
It has been over one year since Low-Ki has had a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. That was on the debut show and ever since then Low-Ki has had to put up with rivals such as Kid Kash and The Crew who have tried to derail Low-Ki on his path to become SWEW Heavyweight Champion. On June 25th at ‘Tag Team Madness’ Low-Ki finally earned a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship by defeating Bobby Quance and Spanky in a SWEW Triple Chance match to get his title shot. Absent from the ‘Anniversary Show’ to train for this match Low-Ki has stated it is his destiny to become SWEW Heavyweight Champion and in California he plans to defeat Austin Aries to fulfil his destiny.
It won’t be plan sailing for Low=-Ki however. Retaining his title at the ‘Anniversary Show’ saw Austin Aries become the most successful SWEW Heavyweight Champion of all time making it 7 successful defences and Aries has warned that nobody from Alex Shelley to Low-Ki to Teddy Hart will be taking the title away from him. Aries and Low-Ki have only met once in SWEW when along with CM Punk, Aries defeated Low-Ki and Spanky in a tag team match at ‘312 Hour Later’. It is going to be a tough match to call in California as these two stars hook it up, and it could honestly go either way as Aries looks to make his 8th title defence over Low-Ki this Saturday.
Grudge Tag Team Match
AJ Styles & ‘The Notorious 187’ Homicide vs. Chris Ca$h & Trent Acid
Chris Ca$h finally showed his true colours at the ‘Anniversary Show’ as he turned on his partner AJ Styles leaving the team of Styles Ca$h dead in the water as he and Trent Acid did a hit and run attack on AJ, with Ca$h humiliating AJ by hitting the Styles Clash on him before fleeing along with Trent Acid into a limo. AJ was pissed and demanded revenge against Ca$h and Acid for what they did to him. AJ said he would bring his own partner to California and what a partner he has found.
AJ Styles will be teaming up with ‘The Notorious 187’ Homicide who is making his debut in SWEW. Many insiders have dubbed this team as ‘The Dream Team’ with the success both Homicide and AJ Styles have had all over America and are huge favourites going into this one against Ca$h and Acid. Ca$h however has stated he his not worried about facing these two huge stars and said AJ has had it coming for a long time, and AJ has been holding him back. Ca$h says that on Saturday night the world will see the true power of his ‘Ca$h Inc’ group who will dominate SWEW for years to come. We have no idea what Ca$h meant with that, but we are sure AJ and Homicide will be ready for anything, Chris Ca$h, Trent Acid or any of the ‘Ca$h Inc’ group will try in California.
Six Man Tag Match
H-Factor (Bobby Quance, Jack Evans & Teddy Hart) vs. Majestic (Alex Shelley, Delirious & Super Dragon)
The two biggest factions in SWEW go head to head, as Alex Shelley leads his Majestic against H-Factor apparently rife with infighting. At the ‘Anniversary Show’ Teddy Hart defeated Jack Evans and Bobby Quance in an H-Factor SWEW Triple Chance match earning himself a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot in the future. That however wasn’t the whole story as Evans, Quance and Hart were arguing all night long in the ring and in the lockeroom as has been the story in recent weeks. However they have all agreed to put there differences aside as they look to show the world they can compete with Majestic at the top of SWEW.
Alex Shelley still smarting from failing to take the SWEW Heavyweight Championship from Austin Aries at the ‘Anniversary Show’ has promised that SWEW will now never be the same, starting from now. Along with the SWEW Tag Team Champions Delirious and Super Dragon, Shelley has promised Majestics reign of terror will leave H-Factor in ruins when the match is over, as Shelley works towards getting another SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot against Austin Aries.
John Roberts vs. Samoa Joe
John Roberts wants Alex Shelley. However Roberts will have to settle for Shelleys fellow Majestic member Samoa Joe, in California. Joe like Shelley who is distraught from not regaining the SWEW Heavyweight Championship from Austin Aries at the ‘Anniversary Show’ is looking to take out his pent up aggression on Roberts who has been looking to get revenge on Majestic since Alex Shelley cost John Roberts two matches in a row. SWEW owner Don Callis has stated that a win for Roberts here will guarantee a one on one match against Alex Shelly for John Roberts, but Joe will be looking to show his leader that he is 100% behind him, by taking out Roberts for him.
Azreal vs. Ray Stevens
Wasted Talents bizarre feud with Azreal continues here as Azreal will finally go one on one with on the duo. Ray Stevens will be looking to show Azreal that he is just as good a highflier as he is as he looks to get revenge on Azreal for disrespecting them while they were in training or something. With Alex Lovell also waiting in the wings looking to beat Azreal, Azreal will have to be careful if he wants to continue his rise up the SWEW ranking if he is to get rid of Wasted Talent once and for all.
SWEW Triple Chance Match #1
Alex Lovell vs. Ricky Reyes vs. Spanky
Two SWEW Triple Chance matches have been signed in order to shakes things up in the main event scene. The first one sees Alex Lovell and Ricky Reyes looking to get SWEW Tag Team Championship shots to face Delirious and Super Dragon, with Spanky looking to get a rematch with Austin Aries for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship.
SWEW Triple Chance Match #2
Jimmy Jacobs vs. Rocky Romero vs. Tyrill House
The second SWEW Triple Chance match sees Jimmy Jacobs looking to get back in the Main Event picture by picking up a big win. Tyrill House is gunning for a huge upset by getting a SWEW Heavyweight Championship here by beating two big stars, while like Reyes; Romero is looking to get his team a SWEW Tag Team Championship shot.
For just $15 on the door of the Beach House Plex in California or at www.SWEW.com tickets can be bought for his huge event. ‘California Dreams’ sees two huge main events as Jimmy Rave takes on Matt Sydal in a Fall Count Anywhere, No DQ match as two young stars look to rise to the top. Low-Kis, one year wait is finally over as he gets a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot against Austin Aries and the ‘Notorious 187’ Homicide debuts in SWEW as he teams up with AJ Styles to take on Chris Ca$h and Trent in a grudge tag team match. All this plus Spanky, Majestic, The Havana Pitbulls plus many more as SWEW debut on the west coast this Saturday night.

Solution? Have the bump masters kill eacvh other early on, then have your big rookie dude annihalte a bunch before you get onto the heavy hitters. Should clear the roster soon enough.
np about the delay, I was just nearly dissapointed as its my favourite on here right now
Another idea is a Triple |THreat Gauntlet. Three men in the ring at the same time. So theres more strategy involved. As one guy gets eliminated another enters and so on. A guy at the start could survive to the end by neither pinning anybody or getting pinned himself
Ric Flair Rumble style~~~ Infact... dont do that. I will lol. -
Sorry for the delay, but I've been crazy busy the past month or so with things, making it real hard to update. Would hope to have a show up in similar times to the last one i just did, but Summer from Uni starts in like May so should have more time then to update.
One problem with the Gaunlet is that there is going to be 29 different matches and with 30 minutes time limit I'm going to enforce that could still be 14.5 hours long maximum time which is too long for a wrestling show. So I suspect that I'm going to have to do quite a few 5 minute or less matches to get through althrough it will be easy enough to book as the person in his 2nd match will obviously be tired and will be easier for the next man to beat.

The Anniversary Show: The Grudges Must End
16/7/2005
James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota
Attendance: 2193
Home Release Version
Commentator: Don Callis & Eric Garguilo
PRESHOW
We are outside the James Smith Memorial Arena just hours before we celebrate our one year anniversary. A crappy rental car pulls up outside the building and out come Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens of Wasted Talent who begin to shout into the camera on there way into the building.
Alex Lovell – “Whooooooooo, tonight’s the night.”
Ray Stevens – “That’s right; we’re going to get Azreal tonight, no problem.”
Alex Lovell – “And Spanky, he’s his tag partner or something.”
Ray Stevens – “Oh yeah, he’s going to get it too.”
Alex Lovell – “There’s that battle royal thing as well.”
Ray Stevens – “Oh yeah so we are going to beat Azreal, beat Spanky and win the battle royal to get a guaranteed shot at the World Heavyweight Champion at Wrestlemania 22.”
Alex Lovell – “?? ?? ??.”
Ray Stevens – “It’s going to be a great night, a great night.”
Lovell and Stevens enter the building looking upbeat as they look to take care of there nemesis of some sort Azreal tonight.
We are in Majestics lockeroom less than an hour before show time. Delirious and Super Dragon are in the background standing up with the SWEW Tag Team Championship belts over there shoulders. They will defend against the Havana Pitbulls later in the night. In the foreground is Alex Shelley looking menacingly into the camera with Samoa Joe who is casually sitting down looking intense in thought as Shelley talks about his plans tonight.
Alex Shelley – “312 hours, just 312 hours was the time I was SWEW Heavyweight Champion. The thing I had worked for my entire career to be champion, to be the best, was taken away in just 312 hours, by this man next to me Samoa Joe. After that I raged war on Joe and broke him down until he was ready to join the dark side, join my side, and join Majestic. However in that time the SWEW Heavyweight Championship was stolen from Joe. Stolen by Austin Aries, who picked up the pieces of Samoa Joes body after we had dismantled him.
Austin Aries from a nobody to champion in less than a year, here you are main eventing the biggest show in SWEW history defending the title against 4 other men in a 5 way dance just like the first show one year ago. I can’t factor into the equation who is going to win the Battle Royal, but whoever it is, doesn’t have a chance of coming out as champion. However I know the other challenges tonight. In one corner we have Jimmy Jacobs; a man who rode is luck for six months in keeping the SWEW Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Tonight Jimmy you don’t have a chance as walking out as champion.
Now onto the two challengers that will be taking the title tonight Aries. This man next to me Samoa Joe could bring the championship home, or I Alex Shelley, a fucking god in professional wrestling will be taking the title home, to Majestics. We beat you at the last show Aries in a tag match and now at the end of the night you will see Alex Shelley complete his one year odyssey from opening the first ever SWEW show, to ending tonight victorious in the ring with his Majestic owning all the gold and been the most dominant faction in wrestling history. Now onto Don Callis. Mr Callis if you thought you could mess with Majestic from making a 3 way dance a 5 way dance, it doesn’t bother us one bit. With two men working for one goal in this match there is no way the other 3 men can stop us Mr Callis, NO ONE CAN STOP US.”
Shelley starts laughing, while Joe pats him on the back. Alex Shelley has laid out his plan tonight, and it will be difficult for Austin Aries or anyone to stop him making it come true.
Just minutes before the show starts with the Battle Royal to win a place in tonight’s main event, Tyrill House, Azreal and Spanky are talking backstage. We join them in mid conversation.
Tyrill House – “Yo, yo, it ain’t matter that I’m new at this game, all you 15 guys are going out and I’m going to get into the main event and take the title, fo sure.”
Spanky – “Aren’t you been a bit over confident?”
Azreal – “Yeah there’s some top guys in there, AJ Styles, Teddy Hart, Rocky Romero, Gregg Bradley.”
Tyrill House – “Don’t say that guys name y’all. He nearly broke my nose last time we met. If he gets in my way tonight, that boys going down, man I’m going to hit him so hard, I’m getting pissed just thinking about it.”
Tyrill House picks up a broom and starts banging it on the wall, and does it so hard he smashes hit in half then walks away screaming at Bradley.
Azreal – “Whoa, what’s his problem?”
Spanky – “Forget about him, tonight’s a big chance for me. I’m an international star I need to be main eventing these shows.”
Azreal – “Hey you haven’t forgotten about our tag match tonight have you? I need to teach Lovell and Stevens a lesson tonight.”
Spanky – “Don’t sweat it, we will take care of them no problem, then I will take the SWEW Heavyweight Championship from that bastard Aries, making it the perfect night.”
Azreal – "Hey that’s cool, but if I get a chance, I’m going to win this battle royal and get the SWEW Heavyweight Championship in the main event. I didn’t win that ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament to be mid-card. I’m shooting for the top and in just a few minutes I’m going to reach it."
We here a bell ring which signals the start of the show, and we hear the announcement for the Battle Royal, where 16 men will enter and one will leave with a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship later in the night. Spankys music hits in the background.
Spanky – “Well I guess it’s my time, good luck man.”
Azreal – “Good luck.”
Azreal and Spanky shake hands, as Spanky walks off towards the ring. Later tonight they will be tag partners, but right now it will be every man for himself in this battle royal.
SHOW
Battle Royal – Winner Enters Main Event
AJ Styles, Alex Lovell, Azreal, Bobby Quance, Chris Ca$h, Gregg Bradley, Jack Evans, Jimmy Rave, John Roberts, Matt Sydal, Ray Stevens, Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero, Spanky, Teddy Hart, Tyrill House
The show starts with 14 superstars were all ready in the ring when Gregg Bradley came down. Let to win a match in his career but this rookie monster could be a tough one to eliminate been the biggest man by far in the ring. Tyrill House tried to get at them straight away but was pulled back by Bobby Quance and John Roberts. The sixteenth and final man to enter was AJ Styles who got a huge pop from the 2000+ fans in attendance. AJ gets in the ring and gets into a stare down with his tag team partner Chris Ca$h who he will face later in the night. The bell rings and everyone starts going at it as the battle royal to see who enter the main event 5 way dance for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship begins.
16 Wrestlers Left
Too much action to call in the beginning here. John Roberts cleans house at first knocking Ray Stevens off his feet with a big punch then Roberts catching Gregg Bradley with a stiff boot. AJ Styles tried to throw Rave over the top rope, but he held on, and nearly threw AJ over but AJ got out of it. Teddy Hart drove his knees into the back of Matt Sydals arm, softening it up. Spanky got floored by an Evans spin kick. Tyrill House finally managed to get Gregg Bradley in his sight and launched himself at him only to be flipped over the top rope by Bradley who was waiting for him.
Tyrill House eliminated by Gregg Bradley
15 Wrestlers Left
Jimmy Rave and Matt Sydal who will be fighting later in the night got into it. Rave was choking Sydal close to Daizee Haze who was watching on the outside on the ropes. A single-leg trip from Styles was enough to put Teddy Hart down. Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes hit a double head butt on Alex Lovell which nearly sent him out, but he managed to crawl himself back into the ring. Ray Stevens got hit with a back suplex from Bobby Quance. John Roberts targeted Gregg Bradley again trying to eliminate the big man, but the clothesline made little effect on Bradley who shoved Roberts down. Chris Ca$h chased Azreal into the corner who jumped onto the top rope, only for Ca$h to sweep his legs then push Azreal to the floor eliminating him. Ca$h had a big smirk on his face which was quickly wiped off when Rocky Romero levelled him with a superkick.
Azreal eliminated by Chris Ca$h
14 Wrestlers Left
Rocky Romero blasted Ca$h with a second superkick and slumped down onto the mat. John Roberts hit Lovell with a clothesline from the second rope. An arm breaker from Quance hurt Gregg Bradley but just seemed to get him mad as he saw on the ropes Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens. Bradley ran like a bull in the china shop and hammered both them over the top rope with a double clothesline. Bradley has looked really dominate so far eliminating 3 men,
Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens eliminated by Gregg Bradley
12 Wrestlers Left
Eliminations were coming thick and fast now as H-Factor combined to try and eliminate Chris Ca$h. Quance held Ca$h at the ropes while Teddy Hart launched himself at Ca$h only for Ca$h to duck and Quance to be hit square in the jaw with a dropkick sending him flying over the top. Quance looked at Teddy and looked pissed with that. Hart and Quance were shouting at each other and Evans came over to see what was going on, only to be dumped over the ropes by John Roberts. Teddy Hart quickly moved so he wouldn’t be the next to go. The three H-Factor members will meet in a SWEW Triple Chance match later in the night.
Bobby Quance eliminated by Teddy Hart
Jack Evans eliminated by John Roberts
10 Wrestlers Left
Matt Sydal and Jimmy Rave were still going at it as Matt Sydal applied a knee bar on Jimmy Rave, weakening the legs. Sydal then tried to throw Rave over, but Rave clutched to the ropes blocking this. Reyes used a standing arm bar on Teddy Hart who tried to elbow out and then did so but with a suplex. An arm twist by Sydal was followed by three arm wrenches in a row to weaken Rave when Sydal suddenly let go of Rave as he saw Spanky in a precarious position with AJ Styles trying to push Spanky out of the ring. Spanky fought off AJ on the ropes but was caught by a huge lariat from Sydal which sent him over the ropes.
Spanky eliminated by Matt Sydal
9 Wrestlers Left
Styles took Sydal over with a spinning arm drag seeming to be hurt that he didn’t get the chance to eliminate Spanky. Bradley was chopped to the ground by Chris Ca$h as Bradley looked to be a little gassed now. Ca$h blasted Rave with a rana. With more room in the ring the high-flying move started to come more into it. However it was one of them that did in Teddy Hart as from the top rope he tried a 360 rana only to be caught by Gregg Bradley who maybe wasn’t as gassed as everyone thought who caught Hart and powerbombed him to the outside of the ring.
Teddy Hart eliminated by Gregg Bradley
8 Wrestlers Left
Gregg Bradley had eliminated more men then anyone and looked menacing. The other seven competitors still in the ring gout onto one side and Bradley on the other. First AJ Styles ran at Bradley but was knocked down, then Ca$h, Rave and Sydal were next. John Roberts also ran but was knocked down. However this gave time for the Havana Pitbulls to hit a double shoulder charge on Gregg Bradley driving him through the ropes. Bradley got the biggest cheer of his short career as he went to the back with fans clapping him after his performance.
Gregg Bradley eliminated by Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero
7 Wrestlers Left
After putting Rave down, John Roberts hit an elbow drop from the second turnbuckle as everyone got back in getting at each other. Ca$h got taken over with an arm drag from Styles as the tag team partners finally got at each other in this match. A backdrop attempt by Rave was countered by Romero with a neckbreaker. Jimmy Rave was on the ropes when Daizee Haze grabbed his legs. Rave tried to shake Daizee off but couldn’t and fell to the mat, smashing his head to the mat. Rave gingerly got up only for Matt Sydal to hit a huge discus lariat on Rave sending him over the top rope.
Jimmy Rave eliminated by Matt Sydal
6 Wrestlers Left
John Roberts belly to belly suplexed Romero, as both Pitbulls tried to get at Roberts. Roberts walked into a big right hand from Reyes and then both Pitbulls tried to push Roberts over the ropes. Roberts was hanging on for dear life but started to go over but he hung onto the ropes and Reyes went over with him and crashed to the mat.
Ricky Reyes eliminated by John Roberts
5 Wrestlers Left
After putting Ca$h down, AJ Styles was knocked down from behind by Rocky Romero. Romero climbed up to the top rope and hit an elbow drop on AJ. Romero signalled to Ca$h to try and get AJ over the top. Ca$h went to help Romero but Ca$h tricked Romero and thumbed Romero in his eye as he wanted AJ to himself. Ca$h signalled for something and went for a Styles Clash on AJ. AJ thought it off and exploded with rage hitting Ca$h with rights and left and then hit a Styles Clash on Ca$h. He picked Ca$h up and tossed him out of the ring and we were down to our final four.
Chris Ca$h eliminated by AJ Styles
4 Wrestlers Left
Final Four: AJ Styles vs. John Roberts vs. Matt Sydal vs. Rocky Romero
We were down to our final four now and one of these men would be entering the main event for a chance to become SWEW Heavyweight Champion. Each man got into a corner and then paired off against each other. A big spin kick from Styles dropped Roberts. John Roberts was nearly tossed out by AJ but he elbowed out and took AJ to the floor. Rocky Romero rocked Matt Sydal with a head butt and then took him down with an armbar to weaken his arm. Romero climbed up the ropes, but got sent down by a dropkick from Roberts and he crotched himself on the ropes. John Roberts scanned the ring and saw AJ slowly getting up. He signalled for the lariat and ran at AJ but AJ was playing possum and caught him with an overhead kick knocking him to the ground. Romero climbed down on the ropes but was caught by Sydal with a kick to the gut. He tried to suplex Romero but could not do it. Romero also tried but couldn’t. However AJ then joined Sydal and they managed to get Romero up and toss him to the outside leaving us with just three men.
Rocky Romero eliminated by AJ Styles & Matt Sydal
3 Wrestlers Left
AJ Styles and Sydal now looked to pair up as they went to get Roberts out of the match. AJ scored with a rana on Roberts then AJ Styles took Roberts down to the mat with a headlock. Roberts elbowed out sending AJ to the mat. John Roberts hit a gut wrench suplex sending Sydal to the mat. Roberts set Sydal up on the ropes and launched himself at him. However Sydal back body dropped Roberts who landed on the apron and not on the floor. Roberts knocked Sydal down but couldn’t stop the oncoming AJ who just launched himself into the ropes knocking Roberts to the floor. We were now down to our final two competitors.
John Roberts eliminated by AJ Styles
2 Wrestlers Left
The crowd are split 50/50 with duelling ‘Let’s go AJ’; ‘Let’s go Sydal’ chants. The duo grappled but AJ Styles used a knee breaker to soften up Sydal and looked like he was going for a Styles Clash. Sydal wouldn’t let him hook his legs so Styles used a falling piledriver to spike Sydal right on his head. Sydal got up and locked dazed. Sydal was swinging widely out on his feet. AJ signalled for the Styles Clash and hit it. Sydal was dead wait as AJ picked him up and ran to the ropes and tossed Sydal over. Sydal however hung on and just got back under the ropes. AJ put Sydal on the ropes and laid into him exploding with chops and kicks however Sydal hooked his leg under AJ and leaned back sending AJ Styles to crash to the floor with Sydal holding onto the ropes still.
AJ Styles eliminated by Matt Sydal
1 Wrestler Left
AJ Styles couldn’t believe it as Daizee Haze ran into the ring to congratulate Sydal. A big Matt, Matt, Matt chant was started from the crowd as Sydal looked shattered. The ring announcer announced Sydal the winner and confirmed that tonight’s main event will be Austin Aries defending the SWEW Heavyweight Championship against Jimmy Jacobs, Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe and now Matt Sydal in a 5 way dance.
Result - Matt Sydal wins and enters the main event
(16:38) ***1/2
As Matt Sydal and Daizee Haze celebrated in the ring from out of nowhere Jimmy Rave entered the ring and knocked Sydal down with a microphone he was holding. Daizee Haze ran to the outside as Rave started talking down to Sydal who was laid out.
Jimmy Rave – “What you think, it’s funny that you eliminated me, you stupid punk? I’m not waiting a single moment before I knock that stupid smirk off your face. You better be watching Daizee as if you think I’ve beaten Matt up a lot before, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Ring the bell, we’re starting this match right now.”
Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze) d. Jimmy Rave
Rave started this match stamping away at Sydal as ref Paul Turner ran to the ring to officiate this match which has apparently started. Rave applied a hammerlock on a grounded Sydal trying to further weaken the arm that was injured during the Battle Royal. Sydal had already been wrestling for over 15 minutes straight at this point and Rave had the advantage in the early going coming close to beating his rival on several occasions especially after hitting a rusted wizard on Rave.
Jimmy Rave who after various different dodgy finishes was (2-0) over Sydal sensed making it (3-0). Daizee was banging on the ring apron trying to give support to Matt and managed to do so. Sydal around the 9 minute mark was able to rally and get back into the match. Sydal began to hammer Rave with his left hand (his right arm been numb at this point) to send Rave reeling. Then minutes later when both men were still slugging at it, in his second of three matches tonight Matt Sydal blocked a shining wizard attempt by Jimmy Rave and caught him with a huge sit-out powerbomb which was enough to get the three count.
Jimmy Rave quickly scampered to the back as Matt Sydal had finally got the better of him. Another ‘Matt’ chant started as after over 30 minutes of action. Matt Sydal had won a battle royal to give him a shot in tonight’s main event for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship and just now finally defeated his rival Jimmy Rave who has attempted to ruin his career and relationship with Daizee over the past few months. Matt goes to the back clutching his arm but I’m sure it will be ok for when he enters tonight’s main event.
Result - Matt Sydal wins
(14:51) ***1/4
Moving on quickly now, we see Gregg Bradley waiting in the ring, with fans clapping him once again for his impressive performance in the Battle Royal where he eliminated a ¼ of the superstars in there. On the way to the ring John Roberts picked up a mic and went on his first rant in a while.
John Roberts – “Alex Shelley, I know you’re ducking me and all the people of the Caribbean are sick of this. Don Callis doesn’t want your punk kids to be in the ring yet there allowed to cost me victories over you Shelley. John Roberts is not having that and tonight I will have to fight one of your graduates Shelley, but it’s not the same. Shelley, John Roberts is coming after you, your lackeys, and you will feel the force of all the people in Jamaica when I defeat you in the near future.”
John Roberts d. Gregg Bradley
Despite his impressive showing in the Battle Royal, Bradley once again was unable to pick up a win here. Bradley showed a few flashes of his power notably when he blocked a crossbody with an overhead bodyslam. However after 9 minutes of the duo basically just pounding on each other, John Roberts caught Gregg Bradley with a lariat which sent him to the mat, and knowing he couldn’t hit the Jamaican Driver on the big man finished Bradley off with a big boot to the head of Bradley and covered for the 3 count. Roberts celebrated in the ring while Bradley went to the back, trying to keep calm after yet another defeat.
Result - John Roberts wins
(9:03) **
We flash backstage into the H-Factor lockeroom minutes before the threesome face each other in a SWEW Triple Chance match. All three men are shouting at each other as we join them in the lockeroom.
Teddy Hart – “What are you talking about; I didn’t even push you out of the ring.”
Jack Evans – “You two distracted me, I had it all wrapped up man, and you know this. Then I see you two arguing, go over to sort it out, and bang some punk knocks me out.”
Bobby Quance – “Whatever Jack, if Ted didn’t knock me over the ropes, nothing would have happened.”
Jack Evans – “Yo, what’s up with that Ted?”
Teddy Hart – “Yo whatever, you two are my boys, but I was doing whatever I could to win in there and you should have been the same. When we go out there in a minute to fight for a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship, it will be the same, and if you don’t like that, then screw you.”
Teddy Hart angrily get ups and slams open the door and leaves the room while Evans and Quance look at each other puzzled.
Cliff Johnson is in the treatment room with Matt Sydal, who is getting his right arm bandaged up after having it beaten in the Battle Royal and his match with Jimmy Rave earlier. Daizee is standing in the background as Cliff starts to interview him.
Cliff Johnson – “Congratulations Matt Sydal, you have had a very successful tonight. You beat 15 other men to earn a spot in tonight’s main event and finally beat long-term rival Jimmy Rave. Now Matt do you think you can make it a perfect night by capturing the SWEW Heavyweight Championship?”
Matt Sydal – “There is no doubt I’m going to have the greatest night of my career and it’s going to end with me capturing the SWEW Heavyweight Championship.”
Cliff Johnson – “There’s going to be some tough opponents in there, the champion Aries, Alex Shelley….”
Matt Sydal – “Let me stop you right there, I’ve beaten Shelley before and when it comes to the big matches, I will always come up on top. Now I’ve got rid of that punk Jimmy Rave once and for all, I can now concentrate on Daizee, and concentrate on becoming tonight the SWEW Heavyweight Champion. Now could you go, I need to get my arm fixed and get ready for the match.”
Cliff Johnson – “No problem Matt, thanks for the interview and good luck in tonight’s match. And with that, let’s go back to ringside.”
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Teddy Hart d. Jack Evans & Bobby Quance
Holy shit was the general consensus after this match had ending. Despite been friends the three men hit an ungodly amount of head drops on each other along with the craziest dives ever seen in a SWEW ring. Far too much action to recap so onto the key spots. After a feeling out process at the 5 minute mark a dragon suplex from Quance from Jack Evans on the mat nearly breaking his neck but Teddy Hart broke up the pin coming off the ropes with a shooting star press. A few minutes later Evans had recovered enough to do a 630 springboard plancha onto Hart and Quance on the outside.
The whole match was jus back and forth between these three. Finally the finish came in yet another set of sick manoeuvres. With Teddy Hart knocked to the outside, Bobby Quance had sat jack Evans up on the top rope and signalled for a powerbomb. However Jack battled out of it and managed to hit the Code Red on Quance off the top rope which landed Quance right on top of his head and he was out of it. Evans got up and looked around and was met by a huge Tornado DDT from Teddy Hart who spring boarded into the ring. Teddy covered Jack and that was enough for the pin and to earn his first SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot.
After the match Jack Evans got up and went over to help up Bobby Quance, who had been knocked silly from taking the Code Red off the top rope. Jack looked towards Teddy for some help, but received none as Teddy celebrated the win by moonsaulting to the outside and walking to the back on his own. Evans helped Quance to the back and both men got a round of applause from the crowd after that sick match.
Result - Teddy Hart wins
(15:29) ****
Azreal & Spanky d. Wasted Talent
Just like the tag match from ‘Tag Team Madness’) sub Spanky for Matt Sydal_ the four youngsters but on a great energetic match. Lovell and Stevens looking to get some revenge on Azreal started out the brighter with Lovell keeping Azreal down on the mat with some nice submission holds and nearly got a early victory when Stevens was tagged in and hit Azreal with a HIGH frog splash but Azreal just kicked out. Once Spanky had managed to get into the match, there was only going to be one winner. Spanky was just too quick and skilful for his two young opponents.
After barley surviving several times, Lovell in the last chance saloon attempted to bring a steel chair into the ring. However Azreal saw this and dived to the outside making the steel chair smash into Lovell’s head. With Stevens in the ring alone with Spanky, Spanky managed to counter a superkick attempt from Stevens into getting him into position for the Sliced Bread #2. Spanky hit it and then spring boarding into the ring Azreal hit a 450 splash onto Stevens and covered for the pin. Lovell pulled Stevens out of the ring after the match and quickly went to the back as Spanky and Azreal celebrated there win.
Result - Azreal and Spanky win
(13:37) ***1/2
We flash backstage and we are outside a lockeroom with the words ‘Champion’ on the door. Inside the room we can here SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries talking to his ‘manager’ Becky Bayless about tonight’s match.
Becky Bayless – “Come on Austin, there’s no need to worry. Everyone who we have had to face, you have taken care of them.”
Austin Aries – “Yeah but this is different, there’s going to be four other guys gunning after me. You know the rules, if anyone pins me, the match is over and I’ve lost the title. For me to stay champion, I’m going to have to be the last man standing, and have everyone else eliminated before I can leave. I’m not sure if I can do this.”
Becky Bayless – “Austin, you’ve beaten everyone else that has stood in your way, one more win tonight and you equal Jimmy’s record of seven successful title defences and like beating 4 other guys will totally make you the best champion ever.”
Austin Aries – “I know I can take care of Jacobs and Sydal no problem, but Shelley and Joe as well. They will be working together just to win the title, and you heard what Shelley said, it doesn’t matter which one of them beats me, as long as they get the title. You saw at ‘Tag Team Madness’ when they both pinn……….did you here something?”
Outside the room the camera man had knocked into the door, we here someone get up inside the room and open the door and Becky is there.
Becky Bayless – “Yo what’s you doing, get out of here.”
We see Austin Aries come into view and looking pissed.
Austin Aries – “Get the fuck out of here man, get the fuck out of here.”
The camera man runs off, dropping his camera, Aries is so pissed he just boots the camera smashing it and we go to black and then to the ring.
SWEW Tag Team Championship
Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon) © d. The Havana Pitbulls
The first title defence for the new SWEW Tag Team champions was a successful one for Delirious and Super Dragon as they retained the titles in a good omen for Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe later in the night. For close to 20 minutes the two teams worked a strong style match up with Delirious stepping up impressively with some surprisingly hard chops. Both teams came close to winning all the way through this very even match.
After beating each other half to death Majestic with there superior stamina was able to pick up the win when a stunned Romero staggered backward into Super Dragon, who hit the Psycho Driver 2000. That was enough for a pin to make Majestics first title defence a successful one. Now the Pitbulls will need to step up there game to get future title shots, while Delirious and Super Dragon wait for there next challengers.”
Result - Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon) win
(18:30) ***3/4
Backstage Jimmy Jacobs is in the corner quietly murmuring to himself and here a quick bit of what he is saying before we go back to ringside.
Jimmy Jacobs – “tongightChampionagainAriesJacobschampionShelley againTonight7motnhsSydalBeckyiwinagain.”
AJ Styles d. Chris Ca$h
Our penultimate match of the night saw Styles Ca$h finally meet in the ring as AJ Styles took on Chris Ca$h. This match was not the spectacle Chris Ca$h promised it would be as in a virtual squash AJ Styles was victorious against his tag team partner. AJ was just too strong, quick and good for Ca$h who was one step ahead of him all match.
The early going saw the duo get into some amateur wrestling which AJ won with ease keeping Ca$h firmly on the mat. The only time Styles looked vulnerable was when Ca$h managed to string a few moves together to get AJ in position for the Ca$h Drop. Ca$h went up and leaped off the ropes but AJ rolled out of the way and Ca$h fell hard to the mat. The crowd were well into this and into AJ winning which he did when he destroyed Ca$h with two lariats and then hitting the Styles Clash for the 3 count.
Result - AJ Styles wins
(12:08) ***
After the match, AJ in the ring while Chris Ca$h slowly gets up. AJ has his hand raised by the ref Sean Hanson who then leaves the ring. Chris Ca$h slowly gets up and AJ Styles extends his hand to him. Ca$h looks at AJ with some people in the crowd shouting things such as ‘Do It’ and ‘Don’t’. Ca$h extends his arm and pushes AJ away to a surprising amount of heat and starts to leave the ring until the supposedly injured Trent Acids music hits and Trent comes down to the ring in his street gear and grabs a mic. AJ and Ca$h stand back from Trent who begins to talk.
Trent Acid – “Chris, AJ, I know you have had your problems, and I can’t help but think some them might be my fault and I’m sorry for that. So I have come here to the James Smith Memorial Arena in South Dakota *cheap pop* to make things right again. So Chris shake AJs hand and make up.”
Trent Acid steps back as AJ and Ca$h go face to face in the middle of the ring. AJ once again extends his hand to Ca$h and Ca$h this time reciprocates and the two shake hands and the crowd pops……until suddenly from behind Trent Acid smashes the microphone into the back of AJ Styles head who collapses to the mat. Trent Acid then begins to stamp away at AJ and Chris Ca$h just looks at Acid and joins in.
The crowd are booing furiously as Trent Acid and Chris Ca$h kick and stamp AJ right into the mat. Chris Ca$h looks like he is directing traffic as he signals for Trent to pick AJs lifeless body up. Ca$h mocks AJ by signalling for the Styles Clash and then hits the Styles Clash on AJ. Security and ring officials at this time now run to the ring, but Ca$h and Acid escape through the crowd.
While AJ is been helped up by ring officials SWEW owner Don Callis comes down to the ring to do his usual pre main event spiel after he checked on AJ Styles who was now up on his feet.
Don Callis – “South Dakota, thank you for making this such a great night and we still have our main event of Austin Aries defending the SWEW Heavyweight Championship against Alex Shelley, Jimmy Jacobs, Samoa Joe and the winner of the Battle Royal earlier in the night Matt Sydal. I’m sure that will be a classic and an Anniversary match that everyone will talk about in years to come.
However I haven’t come to talk about tonight’s show, I’m hear to talk about SWEWs debut in a whole new area as we head to the Beach House Plex on July 30th in California and we have a huge card signed for this debut. In a huge main event whoever escapes tonight as SWEW Heavyweight Champion will have a tough defence as they take on Low-Ki. We will be bringing the SWEW Triple Chance match to California as Alex Lovell, Spanky and Ricky Reyes will lock up in what will be a unique match up and we will see Ray Stevens look to get some revenge over Azreal in one on one action. All this much more will be………"
AJ Styles looking pissed grabs the mic off Callis.
AJ Styles – “Callis you saw what Chris and Acid did to me a few minute ago. I want them two in a tag match and I will find myself my own partner, make it happen.”
Don Callis – “You want it AJ, you got it.”
The crowd pops a little as AJ shakes Callis hand and goes to the back.
Don Callis – “One more thing before the main event. I would now like to announce the first of six mystery wrestler to appear in the longest Gauntlet match of all time. To go along with the 24 SWEW superstars signed to this match on August 13th in Minnesota the American Dragon Bryan Danielson will return to SWEW to compete in the Gauntlet which will see 30 superstars compete in one gauntlet match which could last a hell of a long time. I’m sure you’re all sick of me talking now so I will leave you with the main event, enjoy.”
We quickly flash outside to the parking lot where a limo is waiting. A door suddenly opens and Chris Ca$h and Trent Acid get into the limo which speeds away.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
1 Year On
5 Way Elimination Match
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) vs. Alex Shelley vs. Jimmy Jacobs vs. Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze) vs. Samoa Joe
Finally it was time for our main event. First out was Jimmy Jacobs who got his usual ‘HUSS’ chants as he came to the ring opening one year on history will repeat its self and he will become SWEW Heavyweight Champion in a five way dance. Next out was Matt Sydal who won the battle royal earlier in the night to get here. He was with Daizee Haze and had a bandage around his right arm which got injured earlier in the night. Then together out came Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe who surprisingly came out with no one else in tow with the rest of Majestic and the SWEW Academy students no where in site. The Majestic duo got booed loudly but Shelley and Joe just shrugged it off and got into the ring. Finally Austin Aries came down and the champ was in the building. Aries had the belt over his shoulder and got quite a big pop as Becky clapped Austin as he got into the ring.
Austin gives the belt to ref Paul Turner who holds it up while the introductions for the title match is made. Aries is standing in the middle of the ring, with his four challengers for his SWEW Heavyweight Championship in each of the four corners. The rules once again are, if Austin Aries is pinned at any time, the match will be over and whoever pinned Aries will be crowned the new SWEW Heavyweight Champion. If anyone else is pinned they will be eliminated, and the only way for Aries to remain champion is for all his four challengers to be eliminated. Aries looks round the ring and all four challengers look menacingly at him, but suddenly Aries, Sydal and Jacobs turn to Shelley and Joe and run at them and to the delight of the fans beat up on Majestic as our main event for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship begins.
While Jacobs and Sydal double team Samoa Joe on the outside. Austin Aries used an amateur-style move to take down Shelley and go for an early pin but Shelley kicked out. Outside the ring Samoa Joe rocked Jimmy Jacobs with a head butt after Matt Sydal had been dumped into the guard rail. Samoa Joe got into the ring and took down Aries from behind. Majestic worked over Aries stamping the hell out of him, before going for a double pin only for Sydal and Jacobs to knock both the men off. A big punch from Jacobs puts Alex Shelley down on the mat and he uses a double stomp into a senton on Shelley and covers

Samoa Joe breaks up the pin for Shelley. As Sydal and Aries fight in the corner. Samoa Joe picks Jimmy Jacobs up and drives him down to the mat with a big spinebuster. Out of the corner Aries snap suplexes Matt Sydal onto Alex Shelley who is down on the mat. Aries covers Sydal who kicks out at two. Samoa Joe takes Jimmy Jacobs to the outside and really goes to work on him. Joe chops Shelley several times before setting him up for the Ole Ole kick. Joe winds up for it but Jacobs moves out of the way and Joes foot crashes into the guard railing getting stuck in the process. Jacobs gets a few free shots on Joe before Shelley comes to the outside to break it up.
After been rolled into the ring Alex Shelley hit Jacobs with a clothesline from the second rope and covered for a two. Matt Sydal and Aries were still going at it in the ring trying to out wrestle each other. The ring was so crowded in the early going that it was hard for anyone to get a pin. Shelley arm dragged Jacobs to the canvas, and hooked an arm bar and then switched to the Border City Stretch. Jacobs screamed in pain, but Aries knowing if he lost one of his allies against Majestic he would be in trouble, broke up the hold. Shelley pissed hammered Aries with a stiff elbow and threw him to the outside.
Shelley went to the outside and he brawled with Aries just close enough to the ropes for Matt Sydal to hit the first big dive of the match as he comes off the top rope with a huge plancha taking out both Aries and Shelley. The crowd cheered madly as Daizee applauded her man. Inside the ring Jimmy Jacobs got up clutching his arm in agony after been locked in the Border City Stretch. Jacobs got up but was caught by Samoa Joe who locked in the Choke on Jacobs. Jacobs desperately tried to get to the ropes but could not as Samoa Joe fell to the mat and with no where to go Jimmy Jacobs had to tap out. The crowd booed loudly for this as Samoa Joe just smirked and rolled Jacobs to the outside. After all the commotion slowly Aries, Sydal and Shelley got back into the ring and we were down to four.
Shelley got knocked down with a running forearm from Sydal which hurt him also with his arm still in bandages. Aries and Joe were giving each other stiff forearms shots in the middle of the ring. Aries went for a brainbuster after overpowering Joe, but he couldn’t get Joe up and Joe hit back with some hard chops and then hit a huge STO

Matt Sydal just saved Aries from losing his title. From behind Alex Shelley hit a big german suplex on Sydal and covered for a two. Samoa Joe picked Aries up and signalled for the Island Driver and hit it and Aries was out. Joe tried to cover but Sydal just broke up the count at two after he escaped Shelley. Joe looked pissed and lunged at Sydal who ducked and hit a huge roundhouse kick to Joe sending him crashing to the outside and to bang his head on the guard railing.
An arm bar by Shelley let him control Sydal, and then Shelley picked Sydal up and hit a unique brainbuster variation and covered for two. Shelly then went to pin the still fallen Aries but Sydal broke up the cover. Shelley got up and hit a big kick to Sydals face then he picked Sydal up and placed him on the top rope. He climbed to the top rope and went for a superplex on Sydal but Matt blocked it and tossed Shelley to the mat. Sydal signalled for the Shooting Star Press and hit it, on Austin Aries.

Jimmy Rave from out of nowhere pulls Matt Sydal out of the ring, just milliseconds away from capturing the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Rave laughs as Sydal, who begins to chase Rave round the ring. Rave enters the ring and leaves the other side and Sydal attempts to follow him only to be caught with the Shell Shock from Alex Shelley with Sydal unaware.

That was enough to get rid of Sydal and the fans were pissed. Rave was now standing at the top of the aisle laughing and Sydal who got back together quickly saw this and chased Rave into the back, with Daizee Haze following behind. Now Austin Aries will have to defend the SWEW Heavyweight Championship in a virtually handicap match against Majestics Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe.

Aries just kicked out. Aries and Shelley slowly got up and started to trade chops. Aries with a belly to belly suplex took Shelley to the mat and covered for a two. The fans were really behind Aries now with Becky banging on the ring to give him encouragement. Aries used an amateur-style move to take down Shelley and he locked in the Rings of Saturn on Shelley. Shelley looked like he was going to tap but Samoa Joe just managed to get to break it up.
Samoa Joe picked up and body slammed Aries and covered himself for a two count. Alex Shelley got up and finally it looked like Majestic had got there wish as they had Aries in a two on one situation with no one to stop them. Shelley locked Aries down to the mat and Samoa Joe began to stamp away on Aries for about a minute giving him hard shots to the ribs. Aries just rolls over and Shelley covers but only gets two. Shelley picks Aries up and Aries can only widely swing at thin air as Shelley tells Joe to measure up Aries. Joe hits the ropes and comes swinging with a big lariat but Aries ducks and Shelley is hit with a huge lariat. Shelley crashes to the mat and Joe looks confused at what just happened. Aries has suddenly come to life and spins Samoa Joe around kicks him in the gut and finally lifts him up and delivers a huge brainbuster on Joe

POSTSHOW
We are backstage with Matt Sydal and Daizee Haze and Matt Sydal is pissed.
Matt Sydal – “Jimmy Rave, earlier in the night I beat you fair and square and ended our feud. Later in the night I was less than a second away from becoming the new SWEW Heavyweight Champion when I hit the Shooting Star Press on Austin Aries, but you came and pulled me out of the ring costing me the match. Jimmy I’ve petitioned to Don Callis to grant us a final match in California on July 30th and this time it is going to be a No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere match and I swear after what you cost me tonight, in California I’m going to cost you your career.”
We are in Austin Aries lockeroom and Aries is getting some medical treatment as Becky looks real happy as she starts talking.
Becky Bayless – “You see what Austin did, he just beat four other guys and he’s the best. Low-Ki you’re facing Austin next and you’re going to lose as well, then Austin will have a better record than Jacobs as champion tonight. Everyone saw what Austin did tonight; no one is going to take the title from him.”
We go into Don Callis office who looks in a good mood after the '1 Year Anniversary' show looks to have been a great success.
Don Callis – “SWEW fans what a night we just saw. I would like to congratulate Austin Aries on retaining the SWEW Heavyweight Championship in tonight’s main event and his four challengers for putting on a great match. Now I would like to move onto our next show in California, at the Beach House Plex on July 30th. We now have our main event as Austin Aries defending his SWEW Heavyweight Championship against Low-Ki, as long as the Ray Stevens vs. Azreal, AJ Styles and a mystery partner taking on the new team of Chris Ca$h and Trent Acid along with the SWEW Triple Chance between Ricky Reyes, Alex Lovell and Spanky which was signed earlier in the night.
I have officially sanctioned Matt Sydals wish to face Jimmy Rave one more time so in California it will be Matt Sydal vs. Jimmy Rave in a No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere match. Just added to the card after the results of the main event tonight are three huge matches that will complete the card. John Roberts looking to get revenge on Alex Shelley will take on Shelleys right hand man Samoa Joe. The rest of Majestic will be occupied in a battle of the stables as they take on H-Factor in a six man tag match while the final match of the card will be the 2nd of two SWEW Triple Chance matches as Rocky Romero takes on Jimmy Jacobs and youngster Tyrill House.
We hope you enjoy the show for our West Coast debut in California at the Beach House Plex on July 30th; this is of course just one of our future shows. Also coming up is ‘The Gauntlet’ to take place on August 13th in Minnesota plus a huge show in Iowa on August 27th. More shows will be announced soon so look out at www.SWEW.com for more information.”
Backstage Wasted Talent seem to be happy despite losing in a tag match to Azreal and Spanky earlier in the night.
Ray Stevens – “Azreal your time is nearly up.”
Alex Lovell – “That’s right on July 30th my boy Ray Ray is going to beat you.”
Ray Stevens – “Yeah, we haven’t done so well in tag matches, but we will totally get you out of SWEW in singles matches.”
Alex Lovell – “Yeah, and if you don’t then I will beat in one on one action.”
Ray Stevens – “Yeah….wait why wouldn’t I beat him?”
Alex Lovell – “I dunno.”
Ray Stevens – “…….”
Alex Lovell – “………”
Jimmy Rave has a huge smirk on his face as he begins to cut his promo for tonight.
Jimmy Rave – “Matt Sydal, you thought after beating me tonight, you had seen the last of me? Matt you see there a winners and losers in life. I’m a winner and you’re a closer. Tonight you proved you were a loser when you choked in the main event. And in California I’m going to prove I’m a winner by beating you in the No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere match, then I will take Daizee away from you, as I’m a winner and you’re a loser and trust me, Sydal. Girls don’t want a loser like you.”
We are in Majestics lockeroom, Delirious and Super Dragon are holding the SWEW Tag Team Championships over there shoulders after a successful title defence earlier in the night. Samoa Joe is sitting quietly in the corner while Alex Shelley is centre of the screen as he starts to talk.
Alex Shelley – “Well that didn’t go as planned. Tonight was the night I was to prove to everyone that Majestic were the elite group in professional wrestling and I Alex Shelley was the fucking man. Austin Aries somehow you retained the SWEW Heavyweight Championship tonight, but that was the greatest mistake you could have possibly made. I as leader of Majestic promise all kinds of revenge on everyone for what happened tonight. Austin Aries, AJ Styles, Trent Acid everyone in SWEW is going down until we have the SWEW Heavyweight Championship in our corner and believe me, everyone will be falling at the hands of Majestic.”
As the tape fades to black we see the full card to hype up ‘California Dreams’ to take place July 30th at the Beach House Plex for our debut show in California and on the West Coast.

The Anniversary Show: The Grudges Must EndJuly 16th 2005
James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota
One year ago five men went forth and did battle which saw Jimmy Jacobs become the first ever SWEW Heavyweight Champion defeating Danny Daniels, Low-Ki, Joey Mathews and Trent Acid. Now one year one as Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling presents it’s anniversary five more men will once again do battle for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship as champion Austin Aries defends against the three former champions Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe and Jimmy Jacobs and the winner of a battle royal to take place earlier in the night in a five way elimination match. Also in action will be AJ Styles taking on Chris Ca$h after Styles Ca$h finally blew apart at ‘Tag Team Madness’ after losing the SWEW Tag Team Championship. The new SWEW Tag Team Champions Delirious and Super Dragon of Majestic will take on in there first defence the number one contenders for the gold the Havana Pitbulls. This is just the tip of the iceberg as we have a whole lot more to come from the James Smith Memorial Arena in South Dakota where Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling presents its ‘Anniversary Show’ where the ‘Grudges Must End’.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
1 Year On
5 Way Elimination Match
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) vs. Alex Shelley vs. Jimmy Jacobs vs. Samoa Joe vs. ?? ?? ??
We all know whys it’s a five way and it doesn’t need to be explained again I think? So moving on Austin Aries faces his hardest task yet if he is to come out of the ‘Anniversary Show’ still the SWEW Heavyweight Champion and equal Jimmy Jacobs 7 successful title defences. At ‘Tag Team Madness’ both Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe of Majestic pinned Austin Aries in a tag team match to secure what they thought would be a 3 way dance against Aries almost guaranteeing Majestic walking out with the title.
However Don Callis of course made it a 5 Way to stop that happening and has added former champion Jimmy Jacobs into the mix plus the winner of a battle royal that will open the show who will be the 5th entrant in the match, this could be anyone from AJ Styles to Alex Lovell to Rocky Romero but Aries can’t think of who will win the Battle Royal as he already has 3 big problems to take care of if he is to remain champion.
Alex Shelley has stated that it doesn’t matter if either he or Samoa Joe brings the SWEW Heavyweight Championship gold to Majestic all he has to do is make sure the gold comes to Majestic. Shelley has already got the SWEW Tag Team Championship in his corner with Delirious and Super Dragon taking the gold at ‘Tag Team Madness’ and wants the end of the ‘Anniversary Show’ to show how far he has come from losing in the opening match of the first ever show to having his faction own all the titles in SWEW at the end of the ‘Anniversary Show’. Shelley is determined to make this happen and when Shelley wants something to happen, it usually does.
If having Shelley and Joe in the match wasn’t enough, the holder of the SWEW Heavyweight Championship for 6 months Jimmy Jacobs will be looking for history to repeat itself as he looks recapture the form he had at the time of his title reign and capture the SWEW Heavyweight Championship once again. However Jacobs is not a favourite coming into this match. He has been on a terrible losing streak since losing the title and since Becky Bayless left him for Aries, Jacobs has become even more bizarre, including talking to himself and muttering random gibberish. Still Jacobs has over come the odds before and it is possible he will do it again.
The rules to this match are simple. If a challenger pins SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries the match will end and he will become the new SWEW Heavyweight Champion. If a challenger is pinned by any other competitor he will be eliminated from the match. The only way for Austin Aries to remain champion is for all 4 challengers to his title to be eliminated. Those are the rules, and they better like them as Austin Aries faces his hardest challenge yet as he defends against Alex Shelley, Jimmy Jacobs, Samoa Joe and the winner of a battle royal in a bid to keep his SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Oh yeah the winner of this match will defend the title against Low-Ki in California on August 13th as he has cashed in his SWEW Triple Chance but won’t be in South Dakota has he has gone to Japan to train in a dojo for his title match.
Battle Royal – Winner Enters Main Event
AJ Styles, Alex Lovell, Azreal, Bobby Quance, Chris Ca$h, Gregg Bradley, Jack Evans, Jimmy Rave, John Roberts, Matt Sydal, Ray Stevens, Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero, Spanky, Teddy Hart, Tyrill House
Here is the list of SWEW superstars to enter the Battle Royal in a bid to enter the main event for a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. These 16 superstars will all enter the ring and once the bell is rung, the last person standing in the ring will be entered into the main event. The only way to eliminate an opponent is throwing them over the top rope and both feet hit the floor. Delirious and Super Dragon are illegible for the battle royal as Callis doesn’t want Majestic to have an unfair advantage, Trent Acid is still injured from Majestics attack on his at ‘Open Mic Night’ and isn’t fit to compete and Low-Ki is in Japan training which explains there absences from the list of entrants.
It is hard to predict a favourite for this match and in these conditions anybody could take it. Look out for a few rivalries to explode in this one. Jimmy Rave/Matt Sydal, AJ Styles/Chris Ca$h, Azreal/Wasted Talent plus many more could distract each other from the goal of been in the main event. Many people are eyeing a surprise victory for Gregg Bradley in this one as he is the biggest man in the event. An interesting stat is apart from Tyrill House every other man in the Battle Royal has a match of his own later in the night and will be doing triple duty at the ‘Anniversary Show’ if they win the Battle Royal. With such a big reward, the opening match in South Dakota promises to be hot and anything can happen in this one with all 16 men believing they will be the one to enter the main event with the momentum and then able to capture the SWEW Heavyweight Championship.
AJ Styles vs. Chris Ca$h
Short Version: On September 5th 2004 Chris Ca$h brought in AJ Styles has his surprise partner and they formed the team Styles Ca$h defeating the team of Joker and Sabian on there debut at the ‘4th Show Spectacular’. On January 9th 2005 at ‘Mayhem in Minnesota – Night 2’ Styles Ca$h defeated the Havana Pitbulls to become the SWEW Tag Team Champions. On June 25th 2005 in a 2 out of 3 falls match up Styles Ca$h were defeated by the Majestic team of Delirious and Super Dragon losing the SWEW Tag Team Championship. After the match Chris Ca$h blamed AJ Styles for the defeat and AJ replied with laying out Chris Ca$h with a lariat. Ca$h demanded a match with Styles and Owner of SWEW Don Callis agreed and the match was made.
Long Version: The relationship between AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h in SWEW has always been a rocky one in SWEW. This has been mainly due to the influence of Trent Acid over Chris Ca$h since AJ Styles has been in SWEW and had issues with Acid who claimed AJ was stealing his spotlight. The heat really turned up on this threesome relationship earlier this year when on February 6th at ‘312 Hours Later’ Chris Ca$h accidentally helped Trent Acid to get a victory over AJ Styles. Since then AJ blamed Ca$h for that loss over several shows, which made Acid and Ca$h hang out even more, which of course infuriated AJ even more.
When the three men teamed up in a loss to Majestic at the ‘Pepsi Challenge’ on April 16th Trent Acid and AJ Styles almost came to blows and had to be split up by SWEW officials and Chris Ca$h sided with Trent Acid on this one, which put the end of any real working relationship between the two men. AJ refused to travel with Ca$h or accompany him to the ring, what Ca$h called disgraceful as he was the person who brought him into SWEW and pays for his flights to the arenas. Ca$hs breaking point was when AJ refused to have his back when he had a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot at the ‘Open Mic Night’ on June 4th and he was really pissed now.
The lack of communication between the two finally went against them as after 6 title defences, many of witch the duo had not prepared for, in a 2 out of 3 falls match up at ‘Tag Team Madness’ our last show on June 25th saw Styles Ca$h lose there titles as they were defeated by Delirious and Super Dragon. Ca$h blamed AJ for the loss as AJ had been pinned twice in the match. Fair enough you might say but Ca$h had been laid out for long periods in the match and it did not show how AJ fought on his own against Super Dragon and Delirious. Anyway AJ was not taking any of Ca$h’s crap and AJ laid out Ca$h with a lariat and walked away from his partner.
Ca$h demanded a match against Styles and Don Callis granted his wish. AJ is strong favourite coming into this one as Ca$h has had not had much success as a singles wrestler, whereas AJ has held top belts all around the world. There has been talk that the duo will still be looking to tag with each other as despite there differences they know they are good as a team and there SWEW Tag Team Championship reign proved it, however after they battle one on one in the middle of the ring will Styles Ca$h ever be the same again?
SWEW Tag Team Championship
Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon) © vs. The Havana Pitbulls
Delirious and Super Dragon captured the SWEW Tag Team Championship at ‘Tag Team Madness’ from Styles Ca$h in an epic 2 out of 3 falls match. Earlier that night Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero defeated H-Factor members Jack Evans and Teddy Hart to become number one contenders for the SWEW Tag Team Championship. Now the Havana Pitbulls can achieve both there goals in one night.
There first goal is to get back the SWEW Tag Team Championship, the Pitbulls were the first champions and would love to reclaim the gold. There second goal is to get revenge on Majestic. After Samoa Joe turned his back on his Crew and let the Pitbulls and Trent Acid out to dry at ‘Fly or Die – Night 2’ by joining Majestic. The Pitbulls are looking to show Joe that they can become champions again and are not has beings in SWEW what is what Joe has said about them. Winning the gold will achieve both goals for the Pitbulls but with Alex Shelley instructing his soldiers who reply to his every whim, they will not be looking to give up there titles in there first defence.
Jimmy Rave vs. Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze)
This is one that started slow but is really heating up right now. Before the first meeting between the duo at ‘Fly or Die – Night 2’ there was an altercation between the duo at a local nightclub which saw both men get kicked out. The problem was that Jimmy Rave was hitting on Sydals girlfriend Daizee Haze. Thanks to feet on the rope Rave was able to defeat Sydal in this match, which also saw Rave asking Daizee on a date right in front on Sydal.
At ‘Open Mic Night’ Jimmy Rave came out to be Matt Sydals mystery opponent and once again hit on Daizee and once again got a cheap win over Sydal as Daizee accidentally slapped Sydal while aiming for Rave. Then on our last show ‘Tag Team Madness’ backstage before his match with Jimmy Jacobs, Rave made out with Daizee and when Sydal heard the news he was furious and demanded a third match with Rave. Don Callis has granted it and Sydal has said he is here to fight and not to wrestle for not only his honour, but the honour of his girlfriend Daizee Haze and he has told Jimmy Rave to back the fuck up.
Azreal & Spanky vs. Wasted Talent
‘Tag Team Madness’ saw the team of Azreal and Matt Sydal defeat Wasted Talent in a match that was set up when Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens attacked the duo backstage at ‘Open Mic Night’. After there loss Lovell and Stevens picked up the mic for the first time in there careers and went into a long rant about how Azreal refused to sign autographs for them and said they will never make it in this business or something.
Anyway Wasted Talent told Azreal to find another partner as they can’t believe he won the ‘Fly or Die – Tournament’ and got a contract in SWEW. Azreal got Spanky to be his partner as Spanky is just a great guy and with so much talent in the ring these four young guns should put on a hell of a show. Azreal has said he has no problems with Wasted Talent and has said he just wants them out of his way so he can rise up the SWEW rankings but Lovell and Stevens seem dead set against Azreal and will be despite to pull of a win here.
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Bobby Quance vs. Jack Evans vs. Teddy Hart
The SWEW Triple Chance match returns here as three more men look to get a guaranteed title shot. This one has a twist however as thanks to Jack Evans this will be an all H-Factor SWEW Triple Chance Match as they will all compete against each other for a title shot. Since H-Factor got rid of John Roberts and his crew H-Factor haven’t been able to get up for matches and have not been having fun like they want to and have not been getting there title shots.
At ‘Tag Team Madness’ after another set of losses for all three men while Bobby Quance and Teddy Hart argued Jack Evans thought of a way to guarantee a title shot. The way was for all three H-Factor members to have a SWEW Triple Chance match with the best man getting the shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. All three men have promised to keep this fight clean but in the heat of the battle anything can and will happen.
Gregg Bradley vs. John Roberts
Our last two shows ‘Open Mic Night’ and ‘Tag Team Madness’ have seen John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts not only morph into just John Roberts but it has also seen Roberts having two losses to his name thanks to the interactions of Alex Shelleys students at the SWEW Academy. Roberts said he wanted to fight as many of them as possible in a match. SWEW Owner Don Callis said this is not possible as he couldn’t sanction it. However he has put Roberts into a match with a former student of Shelley, Gregg Bradley. Roberts has said this will have to do, for now and has now set Alex Shelley in his sight.
In a match with Tyrill House another SWEW Academy graduate we saw House defeat Bradley only for Bradley to once again snap after it looked like he was getting over his anger problems. Bradley brutally attacked House and had to be pulled off by SWEW officials. Don Callis has warned Bradley if he fly’s off the wall again he will be suspended from competing in SWEW. Bradley has promised to get his temper under control and will focus on making John Roberts his first opponent to actually beat in a professional wresting match as he has still yet to win. This one could surprise a lot of fans who aren’t to keen on wither men and both men will be looking to beat the hell out of each other.
Well there you have it; this is our card for our ‘Anniversary Show’ and we hope you will enjoy it. Tickets are available on the door at the James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota or at www.swew.com as we present the biggest show in SWEW history. AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h will meet in one on one action as Styles Ca$h implode in front of our very eyes. New SWEW Tag Team Champions Delirious and Super Dragon will defend against the Havana Pitbulls and much more including our huge main event as one year on SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries defends his title against Alex Shelley, Jimmy Jacobs, Samoa Joe plus a winner of a battle royal in the first five way match since the first ever SWEW show one year ago. We hope you can be here with us at our ‘Anniversary Show’ where ‘The Grudges Must End’.

Thanks for everyone who has read and replied to my diary in the past year (game time) and hope you enjoyed it and I appreciate all the feedback I get. It took me like 3 hours to go through all the shows reread them and record all the stats but I was also interested in some of them as well and I was surprised at a few of them with the loss records pretty shocking to me. Hope everyone keeps reading as I still have plenty planned for this diary.

SHOW
Number #1 Contendership Match
The Havana Pitbulls d. H-Factor (Jack Evans & Teddy Hart)
Our first match of the night saw a battle to see who would get a shot at the SWEW Tag Team Champions (either Styles Ca$h or Majestic we will find out in our main event later tonight) at the ‘Anniversary Show’ next month. Anyway it was the returning Havana Pitbulls who picked up the win, in this there first match since returning from been decimated by Majestic after Samoa Joe shockingly joined them at the end of ‘Fly or Die’ a month ago.
The crowd were into both teams and it really helped to build up the atmosphere for the four tag matches to take place tonight. Hart and Evans threw everything they could at the Pitbulls and put there bodies on the line and came close several times to getting a win. A tornado DDT on Reyes nearly gave Hart a 3 count while an Evans 450 Splash off the top rope got a 2 count only for Reyes to break up the cover to save Romero. It was however the ring presence and all round experience of the Pitbulls which guided them into the title match at the ‘Anniversary Show’.
When Teddy Hart launched himself to the outside with a corkscrew plancha onto Reyes while it took Reyes out it also took Hart himself out. This left Romero and Evans in the ring. Evans tried to hit a big spin kick on Romero but he crashed and burned crashing to the mat. Romero took Evans out with a big brainbuster and then locked in a Fujiwa Armbar on Evans who had no choice but to tap unless he wanted a broken arm. This was a dominating performance by the Pitbulls who will now try to get the SWEW Tag Team Championship for a second time at the; Anniversary Show; now while H-Factor come up short yet again.
Result - The Havana Pitbulls win
(12:09) ***
Tyrill House d. Gregg Bradley
With both men looking for there first win something had to give and just like in the SWEW Academy Tyrill House was able to defeat Gregg Bradley to pick up his first career win. After some basic power moves from both men the smaller House was able to use his speed to defeat the ‘monster of SWEW’ Bradley when he counted a powerbomb attempt with a hurricanarana and then hit the stunned Bradley with the Bling Spear driving him into the mat and he covered to pick up the win in this short match between two of the students of SWEW.
After the match however no one saw it coming what Gregg Bradley did. As it looked like, Bradley in recent shows who looked like he had been keeping his temper under control just went off one here. As Tyrill celebrated, Bradley from behind grabbed him off the top rope and just launched him into the middle of the ring. He then picked him up and drove him up and down 3 times with powerbombs until ring officials came down to get Bradley off him. Tyrill looked seriously hurt as he was quickly rushed backstage as the crowd booed Bradley in the ring.
Result - Tyrill House wins
(6:32) *3/4
Azreal & Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze) d. Wasted Talent
Our second of four tag team matches was probably the surprise of the night as the two teams complemented perfectly. With Sydal and Lovell keeping it down in the may with Sydal and Stevens flying round the ring, this match was perfectly poised. Daizee cheered Sydal and Azreal on but it was the more experience team of Wasted Talent who started the brighter and came close to an early pinfall when Lovell reversed a low drop kick into a small package in the air to get a 2 count.
Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens played up to the crowd a lot more than usual telling them to shut up and such while trying to get heat on Azreal keeping him in there corner for a large amount of the match. However when Lovell and Stevens went for a double superkick Azreal was able to duck and take both men out with a double flying clothesline. Cue the slow crawl to Sydal and the tag was made. Sydal cleared the ring and took control of the match. Down to the outside went Stevens via a Sydal clothesline to the outside. Lovell from behind hit a german suplex on Sydal but it turned around just in time for Azreal to hit Lovell with the Somersault Stunner and that was enough for Azreal and Matt Sydal to pick up the win.
Result - Azreal & Matt Sydal win
(12:03) ***1/4
As Daizee Haze, Matt Sydal and Azreal celebrate in the ring, Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens pick up a mic each on the outside of the ring.
Alex Lovell – “Hey Azreal.”
Ray Stevens – “Yeah hey Azreal.”
Azreal is looking at Lovell and Stevens rather confused as Wasted Talent continued talking.
Alex Lovell – “What you think you can walk away from us again?”
Ray Stevens – “You probably don’t remember us do you Azreal.”
Alex Lovell – “I don’t think he does Ray, I don’t think he does.”
Alex Lovell – “Well lets remind him then. Two years ago when me and Ray were getting into the business been fans, you were wrestling in Philly and we asked for an autograph.”
Ray Stevens – “And do you remember what you said to us?”
Azreal still looks confused and shakes his head as Sydal and Haze also look puzzled in the ring.
Alex Lovell – “You said ‘go home kids you will never make it in the business.”
Ray Stevens – “Like what the hell was that suppose to mean we only asked you for an autograph and you come out with random garbage like that.”
Alex Lovell – “Yeah what’s that about?”
Ray Stevens – “Well anyway we made it into the business and we made our name in SWEW and then we heard Azreal was going to compete in the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament to gain a contract.”
Alex Lovell – “We watched quietly on the sideline and saw you beat man after man to get your contract, but we couldn’t sit quietly on the side and let what you did 2 years ago go.”
Ray Stevens – “That why we attacked you at the ‘Open Mic Night’ Azreal because you just weren’t very nice to us.”
Alex Lovell – “Anyway the whole point of this promo is to challenge you to another tag match Azreal.”
Ray Stevens – “Not with Sydal however, pick anyone else in the back to be your partner at the Anniversary Show.”
Alex Lovell – “And we promise we will get the job done this time, because we may be Wasted Talent.”
Ray Stevens – “But we ain’t too bad.”
Lovell and Stevens go to the back to some small boos as they really impressed on the mic in there first proper mic time in there career. Azreal looked bemused in the ring as Sydal and Daizee talked to him in the ring before they went to the back.
Majestic (Alex Shelley & Samoa Joe) d. Austin Aries (w/Becky Bayless) & John Roberts
With the mid-point of the show gone we were now up to our first of two main event tag matches and the first one certainly did not disappoint. With the stipulations been if Aries pins either Joe or Shelley they well never receive a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot or if Joe or Shelley pin Aries they will receive a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot. With the stipulations like that there was only one winner but who would it be?
The wild card of the match is John Roberts. A lot of talk on the swew.com boards was that Roberts was not up to been in a main event match. Well he proved himself here and more as he hung with 3 of the best for close to 20 minutes here. Roberts and Aries started like a house on fire and the lack of team experience didn’t slow them down one bit. With Becky cheering them on all match the temperature was hot.
Shelleys students once again knelt at ringside around the ring and witnessed Aries and Roberts having the better of the early going. Both teams brawled in and out of the ring with Roberts having no problems tossing the 300lbs+ Samoa Joe into the railings while Aries was working on Shelley in the ring with some stiff shots. Despite it been there first time tagging the Majestic team began to show there togetherness as when Aries went for a top rope elbow he was shoved off the ropes by Samoa Joe allowing Alex Shelley to have the advantage, where Joe and Shelley dominated for several minutes swapping tags and hitting some hard double team moves.
Shelley and Joes attempt to get heat on Aries was short lived once they got control however as Aries was able to hit a brainbuster on Shelley out of nowhere to get a 2 count, Roberts was then tagged in as he looked for revenge on Shelley at around the 10 minute mark. Roberts went to school on Shelley snapping him over and then stretching him for several minutes in the middle of the ring while stiffing him with hard kicks and chops. Shelley came close to tapping out at one point when he was in a STF but once again Roberts was denied victory over Shelley when one of Shelleys students on the outside grabbed Shelleys free leg and placed it on the rope. The ref did not see this but Roberts did and he launched himself over the ropes taking out several of Shelleys students.
This is how the end came about the ref had now lost all control of the match as Roberts was on the floor in the middle of a whole pile of students. Aries and Joe joined them on the outside and a huge brawl erupted and the ref lost control of who was the legal man or not. Roberts had his head driven into the ring post by four of the student as the ref tried to stop Aries and Joe from fighting on the other side of the ring. Joe rolled Aries in the ring and he was caught between both Aries and Shelley. He tried to fight them off but he was unable to avoid a Shellshock from Alex Shelley and Alex Shelley caught Austin Aries with the Shellshock and Samoa Joe then picked Aries up and delivered an Island Driver to Aries. Both Joe and Shelley put one foot on Aries and the ref counted a 3 count. Shelley had a big smirk on his face as the ref and ring announcer got into argument with each other before the ring announcer made this announcement:
Ring Announcer – “Referee Sean Hanson has informed that both Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley have pinned SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries to win this match. As per the stipulations of this match the main event for the Anniversary Show will be Austin Aries defending his SWEW Heavyweight Championship against number 1 contenders, Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe in a 3 way dance.”
Shelley and Joe shook each others hand and smiled as there plan seemed to have worked perfectly as they will now be in a virtual handicap match versus Aries at the Anniversary Show. Aries who had been helped to his feet by Becky couldn’t believe what has happened. Roberts was still out on the floor as Shelley and Joe went to the back surrounded by the students.
Result - Alex Shelley & Samoa Joe win
(18:46) ****
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Low-Ki d. Bobby Quance & Spanky
The quality matches just kept on running and the SWEW Heavyweight Championship got a new top challenger as Low-Ki ended his near 1 year quest for a match at the title. Quance and Spanky could just not stop the raw power of Low-Ki in this match as he looked more intense and focused then ever before. A nice story of the match with Low-Ki not been able to have long enough to get the pinfall with Quance and Spanky both breaking up covers all the time. However after 15 minutes of non stop action Low-Ki managed to hit the Ki Crusher on Spanky then pick up the earlier downed Quance and lock in the Ki-Crusher to secure his first title shot since the first ever show.
Result - Low-Ki wins
(15:30) ****1/4
We are backstage with Jimmy Rave walking to ringside minutes before the penultimate match of the night where he will face Jimmy Jacobs when he walks into Daizee Haze who is getting a soda.
Jimmy Rave – “Hey is that for me?”
Daizee Haze – “No, it’s for Matt, did you see us win tonight? Matt did so good.”
Jimmy Rave – “Whatever, I got to go to the ring now, hey how about you give me a good luck kiss?”
Daizee Haze – “Jimmy, you know I’m with Matt.”
Jimmy Rave – “Come on, just on the cheek.”
Daizee Haze – “Ok then.”
Daizee leans in to kiss Jimmy on his cheek but Jimmy moves his head and they kiss on the lips for a ‘prolonged’ amount of time, before Jimmy walks off with a smile on his face with Daizee looking shocked.
Jimmy Rave – “See ya.”
Jimmy Rave d. Jimmy Jacobs
Jimmy Jacobs fall from grace fell continued here as in a closely fought match he was defeated by Jimmy Rave who cemented himself in the upper-tier of SWEW. Jacobs once again was acting crazier then usual muttering to himself and it seemed to put Rave off in the early going as Jacobs came close to delivering the Contra Code twice. However Rave got back into the game and after working on Jacobs neck area for around 5 minutes he was able to catch Jacobs with a Shinning Wizard and cover for the 3 count.
Result - Jimmy Rave wins
(14:50) ***
Jimmy Rave walks to the back with a big smile as within 20 minutes he has scored with Daizee Haze and defeated former SWEW Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Jacobs. As Jacobs is in the ring slowly getting up SWEW owner Don Callis comes to the ring and grabs a mic, Jacobs is about to leave as Callis starts talking.
Don Callis – “Wait Jimmy, I’ve got something I want to say to you that I think you will be very happy about. Earlier tonight you saw both Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley pin SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries in a tag match and due to the stipulations of if Austin Aries got pinned by either opponent they will receive a title shot at the ‘Anniversary Show’. Well as you all saw both Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley pinned Aries and the referee declared that both men will receive a title shot in a 3 way dance. Well if Shelley and his Majestic goons think he has gotten the better hand of Don Callis and think they have Aries in a handicap match, then they have gotten me Don Callis all wrong.
So now I will make an announcement that will affect you Jimmy Jacobs. On July 17th 2004, Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling held there first ever show, which saw you Jimmy Jacobs win the SWEW Heavyweight Championship in a 5 man match. Now 1 year on at our Anniversary Show on July 16th from South Dakota the main event will be in a 5 way dance, Austin Aries defending the SWEW Heavyweight Championship against its three former Champions, Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe and you Jimmy Jacobs”
Jacobs goes wild in the ring and the crowd scream HUSS loudly as Jacobs is in the main event at the ‘Anniversary Show’.
Don Callis – “Now I know you’re not on the greatest run of your career Jimmy but this is your chance to get back your title.”
Jacobs shakes Callis hand while murmuring in the ring and going to back.
Don Callis – “The 5th competitor in the match will be decided in a Battle Royal which will open up the ‘Anniversary Show’ and will include everyone on the roster apart from the rest of Majestic, Delirious and Super Dragon as Majestic will not have an advantage going into this match. More matches will be announced at www.SWEW.com but now I would like to talk about 2 more upcoming shows. On July 30th we will be making our West Coast debut in California at the Beach House Plex and Low-Ki who tonight won a SWEW Triple Chance will take on whoever is the SWEW Heavyweight Champion at that time. Then finally on August 13th at the Skybox Arena in Minnesota SWEW will be holding an event that will be unbelievably holding just one match, and that match will be ‘THE GAUNTLET’.
The rules of ‘The Gauntlet’ will be all competitors will draw a number. Whoever draws 1 and 2 will start and go onto have a singles match. Whoever wins that match will then face number 3 right there and then, and so on. This is the first time anything like this has been attempted and all the top names have been contacting my office trying to get in on this. So far all 24 members of the SWEW roster have signed up to this event and that number will rise to 30 as on August 13th 30 superstars will enter the biggest Gauntlet match of all time and the winner will be crowned ‘King of the Gauntlet’. More details will be announced closer to the time. Now that is settled I believe we have one more match left. SWEW Tag Team Championship, Styles Ca$h defending against Majestic in 2 out of 3 falls action. And with that thank you for coming and good night.”
We flash backstage where Matt Sydal and Daizee Haze are seen arguing in there lockeroom. Sydal slams the door shut but we can still here a few things including Jimmy Raves name been brought up by both Matt and Daizee.
We flash even further backstage where we go into the H-Factor lockeroom and with all 3 members on a losing side for a 2nd consecutive show they are not in best of spirits.
Teddy Hart – “Come on guys, another set of defeats, we need to be getting these championship belts, if we want the money to come piling in.”
Jack Evans – “You know this, we trying but we ain’t just getting the job done.”
Bobby Quance – “Yeah Teddy, your not exactly setting the world alight right now, how about you use some of your ‘skills’ to get us the titles.”
Teddy Hart – “What you saying?”
Teddy Hart gets up and confronts Bobby Quance face to face but Jack Evans stands up and gets in there way.
Jack Evans – “Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy boys, easy. I’ve just had an idea about how we can guarantee, H-Factor getting a title shot like that. I just got to go see Mr Callis so see ya.”
Evans skips out of the door while Quance and Hart look puzzled.
SWEW Tag Team Championship
2 out of 3 Falls
Styles Ca$h© vs. Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon) (w/Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe & SWEW Academy)
The main event was here and Majestics theme music (Audioslaves – Like A Stone) hits and out comes the challenges Delirious and Super Dragon accompanied to the ring by fellow Majestic members Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe along with about 10 SWEW Academy students. The students kneel round the ring as Shelley and Joe pull up chairs as this could be a long one. The masked Delirious and Super Dragon look menacing in the ring as the champions music hits and Styles Ca$h make there way to the ring to a huge pop and despite all them problems between them, they look together as they stand in the ring while the announcements are made.
Both teams get into there corners as the match gets underway as AJ Styles and Super Dragon start us off in this 2 out of 3 falls match for the SWEW Tag Team titles. After some initial show of strength by Styles, Dragon hit Styles with a chop sending him down to the mat. Ca$h and Delirious were tagged in, and a scoop slam put Ca$h down to the mat, and gave Delirious the advantage and he hit a legdrop on Ca$h and went for an early pin but Ca$h easily kicked out and tagged in AJ. A big dropkick knocked Delirious down to the mat. Ca$h was tagged back in and Styles Ca$h hit a big double dropkick on Delirious. Ca$h covered but Super Dragon broke up the count. Ca$h hit a flurry of chops on Delirious and attempted to take him down with a sleeper but Delirious fought out of it and whipped Ca$h over his head then stiffly kicked the back of Ca$hs neck. Delirious tagged in Super Dragon who kicked Chris Ca$h in the ribs after slamming Ca$h onto his ribs. Dragon blasted Ca$h down with a big lariat and covered but only got 2. Shelley shouted at the ref to count faster, while the students looked real intense on the outside. Delirious was tagged in and came off the top with a big splash landing right on the ribs and covered but got two once again. Dragon was tagged back in as Ca$h had been cornered by Majestic.
Chris Ca$h was driven into the mat with a knee crusher and was locked into a STF on the floor with Delirious repeatedly hammering Ca$h in the ribs with his spare hands. Ca$h was screaming in agony as AJ had to come in to break it up. Ca$h tried to get back to his corner but was unable to with his ribs making it hard to crawl on the mat. Delirious grabbed him and hit a Russian leg sweep on Ca$h. Delirious then walked past AJ Styles and pushed him off the apron annoying him greatly as AJ came into the ring and took Delirious head off with a big lariat. AJ dragged Ca$h into his corner and tagged himself in as Super Dragon entered the ring and all hell broke loose.
Dragon knocked AJ with a elbow and then absolutely decimated Chris Ca$h who launched himself at Dragon only for Dragon to catch him and throw him over the ropes to the outside landing hard on a steel chair taking him out and leaving AJ alone with Delirious and Super Dragon in the ring. AJ took Delirious down but was knocked onto the mat by Dragon from behind. Shelley told them to finish him and Majestic responded. Delirious lifted up AJ and held him up while Dragon hit the ropes and swung with a lariat and hit Delirious as AJ Styles ducked. Dragon was dumped to the outside and AJ picked up Delirious and hit the Styles Clash on Delirious and turned him over for the cover

With around 15 minutes gone AJ Styles had got the first fall over Delirious. There was then a one minute rest period, where ring officials and AJ Styles checked on Chris Ca$h who looked badly hurt. The crowd were legally into this match and a loud ‘Ca$h, Ca$h. Ca$h' chant went around the arena as Ca$h slowly got up into his corner but looked beat. Shelley and Joe were giving advice to Super Dragon and Delirious as they knew they need two straight falls to win the SWEW Tag Team Championship now.
AJ and Dragon started us off after some basic mat wrestling started to trade blows but with a big right hand AJ took Dragon off his feet. AJ knew he needed to get there second fall now or keep Ca$h away from the ring as much as possible while he recovers from the bump he took and AJ hit a big discus lariat on Super Dragon after he ducked a throat kick.

Delirious had come into the ring and broke up the count at the last moment. The fans couldn’t believe it as Dragon crawled to his corner and tagged Delirious in who ran and hit a sliding kick on AJ to keep him on the mat. Delirious snap suplexed AJ over, and floated over into an armbar to keep AJ on the mat. AJ got to the ropes so Dragon was tagged in and Majestic double teamed AJ with total elimination and Dragon covered but got a 2. Dragon picked AJ up and chopped at him, but AJ fought back and Dragon slumped to the mat. AJ looked to his corner and saw Ca$h still not ready for a tag so he tossed Dragon to the outside on top of Alex Shelley.
To the delight of the fans AJ came over the top and took out Alex Shelley, Super Dragon and a few students with a big plancha over the top rope. This however was unwise as it gave Majestic chance to strike on the outside while the ref tried to restore order. Samoa Joe distracted the ref as Alex Shelley picked up a steel chair and hammered it on AJ Styles face as Delirious had gone to the other side of the ring and taken the lifeless Ca$h onto the floor with a german suplex off the ring apron.
Shelley stiffed AJ with a few right hands and rolled him back into the ring once Joe had done a good enough job of distracting the ref Paul Turner. The crowd were going wild at this time as once again AJ Styles was alone in the ring with Delirious and Super Dragon. AJ hit a hard yakuza kick on Delirious and covered but Delirious just kicked out. With Ca$h still down, Dragon grabbed AJ on the floor and brought him into the corner and hit a curb stomp on AJ. Three big double stomps from Delirious sent AJ down and Delirious signalled it was over and went to the top rope and went for the Crazy Drop but AJ rolled out of the way and Delirious crashed into the mat. AJ with a burst of adrenaline got up and laid into Super Dragon with a frenzy of chops and kicks. Shelley saw his boys were in trouble and got up onto the ring apron to try and break it up which the ref saw and he tried to deal with Shelley. AJ Styles hooked Super Dragon for the Styles Clash but from behind Samoa Joe entered the ring and hammered AJ with a steel chair twice on the back of the head and Super Dragon landed on top of AJ.

Thanks to Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley Super Dragon had evened up the score between the two teams. Chris Ca$h was now slowly getting up in this one minute break but Majestic looked confident as Shelley had a huge smile on his face until Don Callis along with some backstage officials came down to the ring and Don Callis grabbed a mic.
Don Callis – “If Majestic and the SWEW Academy do not leave the ringside for the final fall of this match up then the challenges will be disqualified and Styles Ca$h will remain champions.”
The crowd went wild and Shelley tried to get at Callis but Joe held him back and seemed to cool him down. Shelley then ordered his students to go to the back and everyone left ringside leaving just the two teams at (1-1) each with just over 20 minutes gone with the final fall now to take place for the SWEW Tag Team Championship.
The third and final fall began with Dragon power slamming AJ Styles as he leapt at him, but AJ managed to get the advantage over Dragon with some hard chops to Dragon and he managed to lift Dragon up and deliver a big suplex which got a two count. AJ Styles signalled for the Styles Clash but was unable to lift Dragon up who clocked it so AJ went with a big DDT instead getting a 2 count. Dragon blocked AJ’s chops and sent him down with a big forearm and tagged in Delirious. AJ Styles hit Delirious with a clothesline who had just ran at AJ and tagged in Chris Ca$h for the first time in a long time and he got a loud pop as Ca$h was raring to go. AJ held Delirious over his knee and Ca$h springboards into the ring and snapped Delirious in half.

Dragon broke up the count barley. AJ nailed Dragon with a flying bulldog from behind and dumped him to the outside. A double clothesline sent Delirious over the top and he landed on Dragon. Chris Ca$h climbed to the top rope and hit a twisting plancha onto both Majestic members which the crowd popped huge for. AJ pulled Ca$h inside as the champions went for a count out win but Majestic managed to get up to get back in at 8.
Dragon got floored by a Chris Ca$h clothesline off the top rope and covered for two as Styles Ca$h looked like they will be getting there titles back. AJ was tagged in and hooked in a Boston Crab on Dragon. Dragon managed to get to the ropes but it looked like the damage was done. Ca$h was tagged back in as Dragon tried to tag Delirious in but was unable to. A chops to Ca$hs ribs slowed Ca$h down and he managed to tag in Delirious as AJ was also tagged in. A short armed clothesline from AJ Styles floored Delirious and he followed up with a rana. Ca$h was tagged in and both men stamped away on Delirious as Ca$h went for a cover but got 2.
Delirious blasted Chris Ca$h with a shoulder breaker after he reversed a back breaker attempt that was almost enough for a three count. Delirious had his knee driven into the mat by Chris Ca$h who tagged in AJ. AJ once again signalled for the Styles Clash and got Delirious in position for it but Super Dragon managed to hit AJ with a big lariat and Delirious crashed on top of AJ and covered.

Ca$h came flying across the ring to break up the cover. Ca$h slowly got up and Dragon took him out with a huge lariat which span Ca$h around as he crashed to the mat landing on the top of his head. With Chris Ca$h grounded, Delirious and AJ got into a brawl but there was only one winner as, AJ elbowed out of it and then placed Delirious on the top rope. AJ looked like he was going for a superplex but Super Dragon blocked him going up but AJ elbowed Dragon in the head and hit him with a roaring elbow and AJ signalled for the Styles Clash on Dragon and hit it.

Delirious and Super Dragon got there belts and quickly went to the back as AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h slowly got up in the ring.
The crowd clapped them as they both stood up, but despite a gallant effort of holding the SWEW Tag Team Championship for over 6 months they had finally lost them. AJ went over to Ca$h and tried to see if he was ok but Ca$h pushed him away. AJ questioned why he did that and Ca$h screamed ‘You got pinned two times.” AJ tries to walk away but Ca$h grabs his arm and AJ just turns around and lays Ca$h out with a huge lariat in the middle of the ring. AJ walks to the back and the show ends with Chris Ca$h laid out in the middle of the ring.
Result – Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon) win the SWEW Tag Team Championship titles

POSTSHOW
We are backstage with Low-Ki who has something to say on his upcoming main event match in California where he will face whoever is SWEW Heavyweight Champion at the time.
Low-Ki – “Tonight, after one year of dedication and effort I have earned a shot in a singles match for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Now in California I will achieve my destiny and become Champion. Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe whoever is champion in California will feel by wrath as I destroy you and become the SWEW Heavyweight Champion of the world. Now I’m going to Japan in preparation for this match. So I will not be at the ‘Anniversary Show’ but I will have an eye on it and whoever leaves South Dakota with the Championship on July 16th will have to deal with me, and you will not be able to stop me taking the championship."
We go into Majestics lockeroom who have had a very successful night. Super Dragon and Delirious are standing in the back with the SWEW Tag Team Championships over there shoulder, Samoa Joe with a big smile on his face and Alex Shelley looking into the camera.
Alex Shelley – “Tonight, Majestic had two goals. The first goal was to secure two places in the main event SWEW Heavyweight Championship at ‘The Anniversary Show’ and the second was to get the SWEW Tag Team Championship into Majestics camp. Goal number one, complete. It was our goal to get both me and Joe into the main event and make it a 3 way dance by exploiting a loop hole. Now Don Callis wants to chance the goal posts and make it a 5 way? Look Don it doesn’t matter who you add. We’ve beaten Jacobs plenty of times before, we beat Aries tonight and whoever wins this Battle Royal won’t have a chance against us. It doesn’t matter who wins in South Dakota either I or Samoa Joe will be gaining the SWEW Heavyweight Championship for a second time and bringing the gold to Majestic.
Speaking of bringing gold to Majestic, goal two complete. I wanted this match to be a 2 out of 3 falls match just encase something happened like Styles Clash winning the first fall would happen and guess what they did, but we fought back to get the victory winning two straight falls and now Delirious and Super Dragon are your new SWEW Tag Team Champions. It also looks like they will be facing the Havana Pitbulls at the ‘Anniversary Show’ as they won a number one contenders match tonight. Don’t even bother turning up. We destroyed you a few weeks ago and we will again. No one will stop Majestic now and at the end of the ‘Anniversary Show’ you will see I Alex Shelley leader of Majestic standing in the ring with all the gold and all the power as no one can stop us now.”
A graphic flashes across the screen saying ‘Filmed a few days after Tag Team Madness’. We are with Cliff Johnson who is interviewing SWEW owner Don Callis in the SWEW offices to discuss ‘The Anniversary Show’.
Cliff Johnson – “Hello fans, I’m in the SWEW offices in Iowa and I’m with Don Callis owner of SWEW as I get the exclusive scoop on ‘The Anniversary Show’ to take place July 16th at the James Smith Memorial Arena in South Dakota.”
Don Callis – “Hello fans also.”
Cliff Johnson – “Don, first question, have any other matches been made for ‘The Anniversary Show’?”
Don Callis – “Yes Cliff, I have just finished the card and got all the contracts in place and I’m now ready to announce the full card right here.”
Cliff Johnson – “Wow, that’s great news, go ahead.”
Don Callis – “Ok, announced so far were the two titles matches which sees SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries defending his title in a 5 way dance just as the first championship match a year ago in SWEW was decided. His opponents will be the 3 former holders of the belt Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe and Jimmy Jacobs along with a winner of a battle royal which will open the show in South Dakota and will include every member of the SWEW roster excluding Super Dragon and Delirious as Majestic will not have three men in that match, Low-Ki who is in Japan training for his title match to take place in California on August 13th and Trent Acid who is still out injured from Majestics attack on him at the ‘Open Mic Night’. Also already announced is the new SWEW Tag Team Champions Delirious and Super Dragon defending there titles against number 1 contenders the Havana Pitbulls.”
Cliff Johnson – “Boy I’m sure the Pitbulls want there titles back and they will defiantly want revenge on Majestic.”
Don Callis – “I’m sure they do. At the end of the main event at ‘Tag Team Madness’ I’m sure you all saw AJ Styles take down Chris Ca$h with a lariat after losing the titles. Well Ca$h contacted me last night and demanded a match with AJ Styles and I have just done finalising it and at ‘The Anniversary Show’ Styles Ca$h will go one on one with each other as AJ Styles takes on Chris Ca$h.”
Cliff Johnson – “Whoa that’s huge, what else ya got?”
Don Callis – “You all saw Wasted Talent challenge Azreal to a rematch with a different partner. Well Azreal has called me and told me his partner is non other than Spanky.”
Cliff Johnson – “Yaowza, anymore? What did Jack Evans come to you for in Missouri?”
Don Callis – “Jack Evans said he had an idea, and I agreed with him. He said H-Factor wanted a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship and one of them will earn it as in a SWEW Triple Chance match Jack Evans will take on Teddy Hart and Bobby Quance.”
Cliff Johnson – “Wait a minute, an all H-Factor SWEW Triple Chance match?”
Don Callis – “That’s right, one of them will be able to have a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot but they will have to beat each other to do so.”
Cliff Johnson – “My god that’s insane, what a night this ‘Anniversary Show’ is going to be.”
Don Callis – “That’s not all; I’ve still got two more matches to tell you about. Matt Sydal is pissed about Jimmy Rave having two cheap wins over him and we all saw what he and Daizee did backstage. Well Sydal is furious and wants Rave and he will get him at the ‘Anniversary Show’ as they go one on one for a third time. Finally we all saw SWEW Academy students cost John Roberts matches the last two shows?”
Cliff Johnson – “We sure did and I heard he actually wants to fight the students in a match?”
Don Callis – “He does, but we can’t grant him that at these guys aren’t fully trained yet, but one man who is trained and has graduated from the SWEW Academy is Gregg Bradley. He will take on John Roberts one on one but has been warned if he repeats his actions of ‘Tag Team Madness’ when he brutally attacked Tyrill House he will be suspended for 30 days.”
Cliff Johnson – “Wow, so many grudge matches in one night.”
Don Callis – “I know, and I’m glad you picked up on that. The Anniversary Show is going to be subtitled as – ‘The Grudges Must End’ and we hope you can all be there at the James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota on July 16th as SWEW celebrate there 1st year in business for only $15 on the door or at www.swew.com where you will also see a full preview for this show in the next few days.”
Cliff Johnson – “Well thanks for that Don and I will see you in South Dakota.”
As the tape fades to black we see the full card to hype up ‘The Anniversary Show: The Grudges Must End’ to take place July 16th at the James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota.

On the England PPVs IRL they have done a few title changes such as Shawn beating Davey Boy Smith for the European Title in his home country. No one expected that and I think Regal has won that title on one of the England PPVs to?

Great first show, and i disagree the write ups are too long. However I would put more spaces into it to make it into more managable chunks as sometimes you have over 30+ lines straight of text which makes it hard to read when if it was to 15s it is easier to read, for me anyway.
My favorite part of the show was the GenNext split up stuff carrying on from FB04. I see a Evans & Shelley vs. Strong & Aries match in the future which would be good.

Tag Team Madness
June 25th 2005
Gratplaz, Missouri
We are just under a month away from July 16th where we will celebrate one year of running the best shows, having the best action and just been so damn quirky. However there is own more stop before the ‘Anniversary Show’ from South Dakota as Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling will be hitting a new area as we go to Missouri to the Gratplaz. The theme of the night is going to be tag team wrestling and it truly is going to be ‘Tag Team Madness’ as we have four high quality matches including the double main event of Majestic members Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe taking on SWEW Heavyweight Champion, Austin Aries and John Roberts and the SWEW Tag Team Championship will be on the line as AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h of Styles Ca$h defend against Majestic members Delirious and Super Dragon in a 2 out of 3 falls match. Also in action will be the returning Havana Pitbulls, Low-Ki, Spanky and many more of your favourite SWEW superstars.
SWEW Tag Team Championship
2 out of 3 Falls
Styles Ca$h© vs. Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon)
Our first of two main events sees Majestic members Delirious and Super Dragon take on SWEW Tag Team Champions of nearly six months AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h of Styles Ca$h. Despite losing to the Havana Pitbulls at ‘Fly or Die – Night 1’ and not been number one contenders, Delirious and Super Dragon got there shot at the titles as Delirious cashed in his SWEW Triple Chance to get his and Super Dragons second shot against Styles Ca$h for the titles, which Alex Shelley demanded to be ‘2 out of 3 falls’ for reasons unknown as of now. The champions have accepted this stipulation to and SWEW officials have granted this match the final match of the night.
There first meeting at ‘Rage in a Cage’ back in February saw Styles Ca$h defeat Majestic to retain the titles and they have gone on to successfully defended them several times since then. However all is not well in the camp of the champions. Arguing backstage and refusing to travel with each other has left time no time to prepare for there matches and train together. This however does not seem to effect there results in the ring as match after match they win and keep there titles.
Rumours backstage at the moment are that the duo is now however at breaking point and one of them will snap soon. AJ blames Trent Acid for getting into Chris Ca$h’s head giving him ideas that he could be a top superstar on his own. AJ has been heard telling SWEW officials that Trent Acids bad attitude is rubbing off on Chris Ca$h, and AJ feels Ca$h should just concentrate on been his partner and backup for him when he wrestles in singles action. Ca$h believes that as he brought AJ to SWEW and pays his wage, that AJ should just do what he says. Ca$h was apparently furious when AJ didn’t follow him to his SWEW Heavyweight Championship match at ‘Fly or Die – Night 2’ which he went on the lose.
At the last show ‘Open Mic Night’ we saw Chris Ca$h use AJ Styles the Styles Clash finisher to defeat Wasted Talent when he pinned Alex Lovell and that sent the duo into yet another argument this time in the middle of the ring and we saw Chris Ca$h just walk to the back brushing off AJ, to the much dislike of AJ Styles.
Despite all this the champions have won there matches and kept there titles and that is the most important stat going into this match. Delirious and Super Dragon have many impressive wins under there belts and with the confidence Majestic as a whole have going into this one, will they finally be able to bring gold to Majestic? Or will Styles Ca$h once again get over there communication problems and defeat Majestic in the 2 out of 3 falls main event and keep the SWEW Tag Team Championship?
Tag Team Grudge Match
Austin Aries (w/Becky Bayless) & John Roberts vs. Majestic (Alex Shelley & Samoa Joe)
Both Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe have stated there intent of bringing the SWEW Heavyweight Championship to Majestics camp, as they look to bring all of the gold home, and have stated it doesn’t matter who takes the title, as long as they have it. One of them could get there chance at the ‘Anniversary Show’ on July 16th if they are able to pin SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries in this tag match then they will receive a title shot against Aries at that very show. However what is in there way is two men, who have nothing in common but one common goal. Revenge on Majestic.
At the ‘Open Mic Night’ John Roberts was jumped by Majestic in the opening match of the night against Tyrill House. When Roberts fought back he was brutally assaulted by Majestic with Alex Shelley busting him open and knocking him out cold with two hard steel chair shots apparently sending him to hospital. This was not the case as it turned out as when Alex Shelley claimed no one in the back dared to face him, out came John Roberts. The duo battled all over the arena and John Roberts looked to have scored a huge upset when he hit the Jamaican Driver on Shelley only for own of Shelleys students on the outside of the ring pull the ref out of the ring so he couldn’t count the three. Shelley went on to recover and win the match when he locked in the Border City Stretch on an injured Roberts.
Later in the night after Austin Aries defeated his mystery opponent for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship Trent Acid, both men were jumped by Majestic. The news after the beating was not good for Trent Acid who after been locked in the choke by Samoa Joe for over 2 minutes has been confirmed injured for ‘Tag Team Madness’ and maybe ‘The Anniversary Show’. Aries who was brutally beaten by Majestic and had his girl Becky Bayless shoved to the mat by Shelley (reminiscent to when he did it to Becky when she managed Jimmy Jacobs) is fit and ready to go and wants revenge after Alex Shelley posed with his championship belt as the show came to an end.
After the show Owner of SWEW Don Callis stated Aries could face Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley in a tag match and was virtually forced to be picked by John Roberts as both men look for revenge on Saturday night. Another stipulation added to the match is if Alex Shelley or Samoa Joe gets pinned by Austin Aries they will never get a championship shot, however let’s remind you that if Aries gets pinned they will receive a championship shot at ‘The Anniversary Show’.
The stakes are high but Majestic are hot favourites coming into this match. Shelley and Joe are two of the best in the world and have huge confidence coming into Saturday while Roberts and Aries have never tagged together or worked any tactics up together in there life. They will both have to be on top of the game if they want there revenge on Majestic in this grudge tag team match.
Number #1 Contenders Match
H-Factor (Jack Evans & Teddy Hart) vs. The Havana Pitbulls
The Havana Pitbulls return to Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling with two clear goals. Number one is to get back there SWEW Tag Team Championship, and they can become a step closer to this goal on Saturday night as they take on H-Factor members Jack Evans and Teddy Hart with the winning team taking on whoever are champions at the Anniversary Show.
There second goal is to get revenge on Samoa Joe. Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero had been Joes allies from virtually day 1 in SWEW but Samoa Joe left and folded up his own Crew to join Majestic. At the ‘Open Mic Night’ Samoa Joe blamed Trent Acid for acting goofy and blowing all his chances at success by losing and the Havana Pitbulls inability to regain the SWEW Tag Team Championship as the reasons why he dumped his Crew. Ricky and Rocky would love to prove Joe wrong by gaining a tag title shot and then getting there title back.
In there way will be Jack Evans and Teddy Hart. Losers in a big six man tag match along with partner Bobby Quance against Majestic at the last show, they will be looking to bounce back after getting rid of John Roberts and his crew over the ‘Fly or Die – Weekend’ and finally capture some gold for the first time in SWEW. Word is that Teddy Hart is not happy with the lack of success he has had in SWEW and is looking for this to change this Saturday night by earning a tag title shot at ‘The Anniversary Show’.
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Bobby Quance vs. Low-Ki vs. Spanky
The SWEW Triple Chance match returns with three more competitors looking to get a title shot. Bobby Quance is looking to become the first member of H-Factor to get a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot. If he is able to do this he will have to get past two of the best in the world. At the end of the ‘Open Mic Night’ Low-Ki stated that it is, his time to become SWEW Heavyweight Champion. He has bided his time over the past year getting rid of Kid Kash who dogged him in 2004 and now the Crew has dismantled he claims nothing will stop him getting the belt off Austin Aries now, and with two successive victories over AJ Styles and Azreal coming into this one he is on a role at the moment. Long time rival of champion Aries, Spanky would love another shot at the title and is said to be very focused coming into Saturday night as he looks to win the SWEW Triple Chance match and earn a shot at Austin Aries.
Azreal & Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze) vs. Wasted Talent
At the end of the ‘Open Mic Night’ tape we saw Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens jump Azreal and Matt Sydal for apparently no reason, apart from there were facing each other in Missouri. However Lovell and Stevens said they had a reason and are citing they have problems with Azreal, from when they were fans just a few years ago, which they will make known on Saturday to the public. We don’t know what they are talking about, but this should prove to be a fun match. Sydal is looking to get back on track after two consecutive loses to Jimmy Rave while Azreal winner of the ‘Fly or Die – Tournament’ is looking to pick up his first win on the full time roster. Wasted Talent are looking to pick up there first win since splitting up with there mentor John Roberts and they say that there hatred of Azreal will drive them to success on Saturday.
Jimmy Jacobs vs. Jimmy Rave
With wins over Matt Sydal over the last two shows, there is no stopping Jimmy Rave now. He claims that soon Daizee Haze will see the light and join him by his side, by walking away from Matt Sydal. This Saturday however he is looking to make a major move by defeating former SWEW Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Jacobs who is on an awful run of form at the moment. Jacobs has been acting very strange recently, and at the last show we saw Jacobs outside SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries, locker room muttering to him self. We have to question what Jacobs mental state is going into this match, as he has lost everything he had worked so hard for in 2004 in SWEW these past 6 months.
Student vs. Student
Gregg Bradley vs. Tyrill House
For the first time in SWEW history two students of the SWEW Academy will battle one on one. Apparently there is no love lost between the duo and with both men looking for there first win of there professional career there is no telling what could happen. Bradley has been improving in recent weeks, keeping his temper under control as well and was impressive at ‘Fly or Die – Night 2’ against Spanky while in his debut match Tyrill House got a draw against John Roberts when Majestic interfered making it a no contest. It is really close between the duo and there is no way of telling which way this match will go.
Tickets are available on the door of the Gratplaz, Missouri for our debut show in this area for $15 on the door or at www.swew.com as we present ‘Tag Team Madness’. That’s right four huge tag team matches including the Havana Pitbulls, H-Factor, two Majestic teams and SWEW Tag Team Champions who will be defending there belts, Styles Ca$h plus many more will be in action as we build up towards our ‘Anniversary Show’ on July 16th in South Dakota. We hope you can be there with a card stacked so high, you need to stand on something to see it:

Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling
Open Mic Night
4/6/2005
Guthrie Centre, Iowa
Attendance: 2773
Home Release Version
Commentator: Eric Garguilo & Don Callis
PRESHOW
We are backstage at the Guthrie Centre and we are with the newest member of the SWEW roster Tyrill House who is to be interviewed by Cliff Johnson (a backstage interviewer who takes no shit and asks the questions):
Cliff Johnson – “Tyrill, it’s just a few hours before bell time and here you are backstage at the Guthrie Centre for your first ever SWEW show. All I want to know, is have you been to Don Callis office and signed yourself up for a match?”
Tyrill House – “Yo, yo, yo, you damn right Tyrill House, has put his name down for a match tonight. John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts, tonight, my career in professional wrestling starts. I’m an amateur champion, but tonight you will see in my first match I’m no amateur as I beat you down Roberts for the one, two, and three.”
Cliff Johnson – “Wow, so you’re facing John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts in your first match that will be some test."
Tyrill House – “Give me anyone on the roster and I will hit them with the Bling Spear and it will be over playa.”
Cliff Johnson – “You sound very confident Tyrill, do you have any last words you want to say to your fans before you go out later tonight?”
Tyrill House – “To all my fans and people coming to SWEW tonight. If you are going to place a bet on the match tonight, I would put all your money on me. Because the house, always wins.”
Cliff Johnson – “Thank you, Tyrill.”
SHOW
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts draw Tyrill House
The show started with both Roberts and House already in the ring and the bell starts the match going. After some early mat work from both men, with House really showing his amateur stuff, Roberts took advantage of the match and beat House around the ring with some stiff strikes and kicks. Roberts pretty much dominated the match, getting several close falls and it looked like Roberts would pick up the win at any moment, until out of nowhere Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe came racing down the aisle and into the ring.
Alex Shelley caught Tyrill House with the Shellshock while John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts was laid out by a STO from Samoa Joe as the match was ruled a no contest. Shelley and Joe started to stamp away on young Tyrill House, when from behind John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts had grabbed a steel chair and bang into the back of Alex Shelley it went, and then into Samoa Joe, the crowd went wild as Roberts held the chair above his head.
Result – Draw
(5:04) **
Super Dragon and Delirious came rushing down the aisle and Roberts swung for them, but Dragon was able to catch Roberts with a clothesline, then Delirious and Dragon hammered away at him in the floor until Shelley and Joe got back to there feet. Majestic dumped House to the outside then started a vicious four on one assault on John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts. Joe, Dragon and Delirious held him up as Shelley was directing traffic and drove the steel chair twice into the head of Roberts busting him open and knocking him out cold. Delirious rolled Roberts to the outside while Shelley grabbed the mic.
Alex Shelley – “Get out of our ring you piece of crap.”
Ring officials had run down the aisle to help the beaten down Roberts to the back as Shelley continues talking.
Alex Shelley – “Welcome to the first show of a new era for Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling. I Alex Shelley on behalf of Majestic invite all 3000 plus of you overweight, disgusting Iowa fans to our ‘Open Mic Night’.”
The crowd boo Shelley immensely as Joe, Delirious and Super Dragon clap in appreciation.
Alex Shelley – “The beauty of the ‘Open Mic Night’ is that not even we know who will be in the matches tonight. I know for a fact no body in the lockeroom has put there name down to face me tonight and I’m not surprised. Everyone is scared of us, but I know lots of people in the lockeroom want to take a shot at us, which is why my students at the SWEW Academy will follow us out to the ring tonight for some extra protection. At the end of the last show you all saw how powerful Majestic are now.
When Samoa Joe drove a steel chair into the skull of Trent Acid, it was a beautiful moment. Majestic showed on the biggest stage in SWEW history that we are the number one faction in professional wresting today, and with Samoa Joe standing side by side with us now, leaving his Crew to rot in the middle of the ring, I have never been so proud in my life of what I do for a living. Now I know you want to here why Joe left the Crew for Majestic, so why don’t you here it from the man himself.”
Shelley hands the mic to Joe who gets booed, but Joe just has a big smile over his face and then starts to look serious as he begins to talk.
Samoa Joe – “You want to know why, I left my Crew lying in the middle of the ring, you want to know why? Week after week, month after month, show after show, I had to be followed to the ring by that idiot Trent Acid doing his stupid dances to the ring, and every time he gets in a good position he goes and blows it all by losing again and again. Now onto the Pitbulls. Ricky, Rocky you were my boys, but you just couldn’t get your titles back, no matter how much you tried, and Samoa Joe does not associate with losers.”
The crowd boos at Joe, who just brushes it off and keeps talking.
Samoa Joe – “So I look across at Alex Shelley and his Majestic, and time after time he got the better of me. In what should have been my crowning moment after beating Jimmy Jacobs at ‘Rage in a Cage’ Shelley hung me from the cage and where was my Crew to save me? They were no where, and I spent nearly a whole fucking week in hospital. I get out and I lose the SWEW Heavyweight Championship, and I see Alex Shelley take my Crew out every single show. I had to do something, and I did something.
I contacted Alex Shelley just before ‘A Matter Of Respect’ a couple of months ago and offered him my services as part of Majestic and thankfully he accepted. We then came up with a plan which you all saw come to a head at the end of the ‘Fly or Die’ weekend when Trent Acid and the Pitbulls were left lying in pools of there own blood, we created the fake rumours about who the 4th man of Majestic would be, but no one thought it would be me, that’s why the plan was so perfect, and why no suspected a thing. When our hands were raised in the middle of the ring, it was one of the greatest nights of my life when it was revealed I was a member of Majestic. So you wanted a reason. There’s your fucking reason.”
Delirious, Super Dragon and Alex Shelley clap Joe as Joe gives Shelley back the mic as he starts talking again.
Alex Shelley – “Well said Joe, well said. Now we will be taking over this place. AJ Styles, Chris Ca$h, Styles Ca$h. We are coming to take the SWEW Tag Team Championship from you. Austin Aries, we are coming to take the SWEW Heavyweight Championship from you. Although not tonight, as when we got here we found out that someone had already signed up for the title matches tonight, which was not to our liking. However it doesn’t matter as whomever Majestic face tonight, they won’t stand a chance, as Delirious is the craziest man in wrestling. If you look at Super Dragon he will break your neck. Samoa Joe is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world at this moment in time, and I Alex Shelley, AM A FUCKING GOD.”
Shelley throws the mic down and leaves the ring with Joe, Delirious and Super Dragon following after sending out a message of intent to everyone in SWEW.
We quickly flash back to ringside as Low-Ki comes to the ring to a nice reception, as we wait to see who will come out to face Low-Ki. Leave It Alone by NOFX comes over the speakers and the man who on the last show won the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament to gain a regular place on the SWEW roster. Azreal gets a nice reception before grabbing the mic as Low-Ki looks a bit perplexed on why Azreal would want to fight him.
Azreal – “I came to SWEW to be the best I can be, and to be the best the only way I can prove this is to beat the best, and Low-Ki, you are one the of the best.”
The crowd clap for Low-Ki and what Azreal said. Azreal extends his arm to Ki who shakes it as we get underway.
Low-Ki d. Azreal
After over half an hour of show time already we finally had our first full match as the young Azreal impressed but couldn’t quite get the job done on Low-Ki who belt on his big win over AJ Styles at the last show by beating Azreal in a good match up. It looked like it would be a total squash in the early going with Ki striking Azreal with stiff chops and kicks not letting him in the match at all.
However after 7 minutes of attacking Low-Ki went and missed a Phoenix Splash on Azreal who finally mounted some offence. A reverse hurricanarana and top rope dropkick both brought two counts for Azreal in a good spell for him. After some back and forth action, Azreal looked to get a huge win over Ki when he signalled for the Somersault Stunner. He got Ki in position and leaped up but Low-Ki managed to grab him and drive him down to the mat with a Tiger Driver. Azreal was a sitting duck and Low-Ki locked in the Dragon Clutch on Azreal in the middle of the ring and he had no choice but to tap. After the bout, Low-Ki once again shook Azreals hand before Azreal left the ring to some nice applause as Low-Kis good run continues.
Result - Low-Ki wins
(16:47) ***1/2
We flash to the ring for our next match and Matt Sydal comes out with Daizee Haze behind him. Sydal waits in the ring for his opponent to come out when he sees to his delight Jimmy Rave come out, the man who cheated to beat him at the last show. Rave comes out to some boos and picks up a mic before he gets in the ring he then gets in the ring and walks up to Daizee but Sydal pushes him away as Rave starts talking.
Jimmy Rave – “Hi Daizee………”.
Matt Sydal had heard enough all ready and like the last show he jumped Rave for trying to hit on Daizee. Sydal knocks Rave to the mat as the bell rings as we start.
Jimmy Rave d. Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze)
A second Rave vs. Sydal match in as many shows and a second win for Jimmy Rave in dubious circumstances. Like the last match it was very back and forth but this time however when the finish came, it was not Rave grabbing the ropes to win. When Sydal whipped Rave in the corner he reversed it sending Sydal flying into ref Sean Hanson. Both men crashed to the floor giving Rave an advantage. Sydal groggily got up but walked right into the Crossface. Rave locked it on but there was on ref so Daizee got up onto the apron to distract Rave. Rave got up and tried to kiss Daizee but she tried to slap him so Jimmy grabbed her hair.
Daizee screamed and managed to knee Rave downstairs and then tried to slap him again but Rave ducked and Daizee hit the oncoming Sydal with a slap. Rave pushed Daizee off the apron, and then hit the rusted wizard on Sydal right on his jaw. Rave covered and Hanson recovered in time to make the 3 count giving Rave his second victory over Sydal. Rave left with a big smile on his face as Daizee apologised to Sydal for slapping him by mistake. Sydal forgave her and they hugged in the ring before leaving to the back.
Result - Jimmy Rave wins
(13:07) ***1/4
H-Factor came out to a nice reception as they came to the ring hyped up after winning the right to stay together defeating John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts and Wasted Talent at the last show for the right. They looked happy until they heard Majestics music hit. Out came 20 members of the SWEW Academy followed by Alex Shelley but in wrestling gear and then there apparent opponent Samoa Joe, Delirious and Super Dragon. Shelley instructed the SWEW Academy members to surround the ring as Joe, Dragon and Delirious got in the ring as the match got underway.
Majestic (Delirious, Samoa Joe & Super Dragon) (w/Alex Shelley & SWEW Academy) d. H-Factor (Bobby Quance, Jack Evans & Teddy Hart)
Majestic looked very strong in this match with Samoa Joe having his first match as a member of Majestic. Shelley stalked the ring the whole time while his students knelled around the ring making sure no one came out to jump them. There was far too much action to recap so here are the three key moments of over 20 minutes of action. In the early going Majestic used there strength advantage to keep H-Factor grounded and nearly got a pinfall in the first 5 minutes after Super Dragon and Samoa Joe hit a double clothesline on Jack Evans sending him flying in the air but Quance broke up the fall.
When all hell broke loose on the outside of the ring 14 minutes in, Teddy Hart came off the top rope with a 450 somersault splash landing on everyone else including some of the Academy members who got in the way. When Delirious got back into the ring after that Quance hit him with a cradle neckbreaker and covered for a long two count.
The finish came after both sides had come close to getting victory. Bodies were flying all over the place as Evans took out Delirious with a springboard crossbody only for Super Dragon to lariat Evans to the outside. Quance and Hart tried a double dropkick on Joe but Joe stepped back and they both crashed to the mat. Dragon and Hart started to brawl and both fell through the ropes. Quance got up and stumbled around only to walk into Samoa Joe who locked in the choke on Quance. Joe fell to the mat and Quance had no choice but to tap out.
Shelley immediately got in the ring and shook Joes hand and then hugged him as he celebrated Joe’s first win as a member of Majestic. Super Dragon and Delirious join them as they do a group pose as H-Factor go to the back after been beaten. The SWEW Academy still guard the ring before leaving to the back as Majestic celebrate a good victory and sent out a warning that they mean business tonight.
Result - Majestic (Delirious, Samoa Joe & Super Dragon) win
(21:45) ****
We join AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h in mid conversation as they are warming up minutes before there match where they will defend there SWEW Tag Team Championship against two mystery opponents.
Chris Ca$h – “It doesn’t matter who we face, we have taken everyone down, the Havana Pitbulls, H-Factor, Majestic, the SAT, anyone who has gotten in Chris Ca$h’s way has been on the losing side.”
AJ Styles – “Just like Aries was on the losing side when you took the SWEW Heavyweight Championship on the last show from him.”
Chris Ca$h – “Shut up, where were you anyway, I pay you to be my partner and your not even accompanying me in the biggest match of my career.”
AJ Styles – “You pay me to be your tag partner, I hit the Styles Clash on our opponents we win the matches and keep the title. You don’t pay me to follow you around been your lap dog. I hear Trent Acid needs a new job why don’t you pay him to follow you around.”
Chris Ca$h – “Whatever, just make sure whoever we face tonight, the Styles Clash is hit and we win the match and keep my title.”
Ca$h storms out after AJ apparently got under his skin, and AJ smirked knowing this as we flash to ringside.
SWEW Tag Team Championship
Styles Ca$h© d. Wasted Talent
The mystery opponents for Styles Ca$h were Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens of Wasted Talent who have had to split from there sort of mentor John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts. This turned out to be a routine title defence making it there 6th successful defence apart from one scare about 5 minutes into the match when Ray Stevens out of nowhere hit Chris Ca$h with a reverse hurricanarana countering a electric chair and covered but AJ just broke it up after a long 2 count.
AJ wasn’t taking anymore chance after that and took change of the ring and worked over Ray Stevens himself while Ca$h waited on the apron. The pinfall was made however in a situation that AJ Styles was not best pleased with. With all four men in the ring, AJ Styles and Stevens were brawling when Lovell from behind sent AJ to the outside. Stevens followed AJ and the duo started brawling on the outside. AJ got the better of Ray and threw him into the guard rail but AJ turned around to look into the ring and see Chris Ca$h hit the Styles Clash on Alex Lovell and cover for the 3 count.
Chris Ca$h celebrated with his title belt as AJ started to argue with Ca$h about him using his finisher to win the match. Ca$h just brushed AJ off and went to the back on his own as the fans chanted ‘AJ’ at Styles before he went to the back.
Result - Styles Ca$h win
(12:56) **3/4
For the third time tonight Alex Shelley comes to the ring, however he is not with Samoa Joe, Delirious and Super Dragon who have stayed in the back as Shelley is followed by his student to the ring who once again surrounded. Shelley picks up the mic and starts to talk.
Alex Shelley – “Well now it is suppose to be my time, to be facing a mystery opponent, but as I expected no one in the lockeroom wants to face me. Everybody is scared of how powerful Alex Shelley now is, no one in the lockeroom will dare touch me again………”.
The fans in attendance turned there heads towards the entrance ramp where John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts came out with a bandage around his head after Majestics earlier attack on him especially Shelleys chair shot to Roberts. Roberts gets in the ring looking pissed and Shelley looks kind of scared of Roberts as Roberts grabs the mic off Shelley.
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “John Roberts will fucking take you on you piece of crap.”
Roberts smashes the mic into Shelleys head as the fans explode with a huge cheer as we apparently have a match now which starts now.
Alex Shelley (w/SWEW Academy) vs. John Roberts
Roberts throws the mic onto the outside and stamps away at Shelley who is pulled out of the ring by two of his students. Roberts isn’t waiting around for anyone as he hits the ropes and comes through the other side with a tope taking out Shelley and about 3 of the students. All the students scatter as Roberts starts chopping Shelley rapidly. Shelley tries to get away but Roberts follows him around the ring and grabs him by his head and tosses him to the floor. Roberts rams Shelley into the guard railings several times before tossing him in the ring. Roberts makes a cover but Shelley kicks out.
Roberts once again started to chop Shelley who looked out on his feet but Shelley got the advantage with the old thumb to the eye. Shelley locked in an arm-bar on Roberts allowing him to get his thoughts and a little rest as he had been beaten around the ring in the early going. Roberts managed to get back to his feet but an arm twist by Shelley was followed by three arm wrenches in a row to weaken Roberts which was followed by a big DDT to get a two count. Shelley went for a move you don’t see from him a lot a powerbomb which was reversed by Roberts with a big rana. .Roberts hit Shelley with an elbow and then signalled for a lariat. Roberts measured Shelley up and attempted the lariat but Shelley counted with the Border City Stretch. Roberts screamed in pain on the mat as all the injuries that Majestic handed out to him earlier in the night seemed to be finally getting to him. Luckily for Roberts he was close enough to the ropes to break the hold but had the damage been done already?
Alex Shelley applied a hammerlock to Roberts, who was really feeling his arm now, but Roberts swung widely back with a mule kick hitting Shelley down low. Roberts hit a diamond cutter on Shelley and covered.

Roberts got straight back up and signalled for the lariat again. He hit the ropes and swung at Shelley and hit it as the crowd went wild.

Shelley kicked out of the lariat, Roberts injured arm meant he couldn’t get 100% power on it. Roberts picked Shelley up and chopped him four times before sending him into the corner. Up on the top rope Shelley went and he was brought down to the mat with a big superplex.

Shelley kicked out again. Roberts signalled for a third lariat and pulled off his elbow pad to get more power. Shelley stood up and Roberts swung with the lariat but like the first one Shelley attempted to counter with the Border City Stretch. Roberts powered out of it and managed to get Shelley up on his shoulders and deliver the JAMICAN DRIVER

Ref Paul Turner had been pulled out of the ring by one of the students. Roberts couldn’t believe it as Roberts covered again with Turner now back into the middle of the ring.

Shelley just kicked out this time and the crowd could not believe it. Roberts got up and looked at the crowd and he signalled for another Jamaican Driver. The crow popped for this as Roberts picked Shelley up only for his arm to give way as Shelley fell on top of Roberts. Shelley was first to capitalise on this and picked Roberts up and delivered the Shellshock to Roberts and covered.

NO
Roberts kicked out of the Shellshock. Shelley couldn’t believe it as he went to hook on the Border City Stretch. Shelley applied the hold to Roberts who was screaming in pain. Roberts tried to get to the ropes and got close only for Shelley to roll back into the middle of the ring with the hold still applied. Roberts had no choice but to tap giving Shelley the victory in an epic match. Students of the SWEW academy came into the ring and rolled Roberts out of there and gave Shelley water and towels to wipe himself. Roberts went to the back getting lots of praise to the fans as once again Alex Shelley got on the mic really out of breath,
Result - Alex Shelley wins
(15:09) ***3/4
Alex Shelley – “I told you………I told you………no one………can beat me……..I run this show now……….. and nobody can stop me……….So at our next show in Missouri on June 25th it’s going……….to be………Alex Shelley vs. Austin Aries…….for the………..SWEW Heavyweight Championship.”
The crowd half boo and cheer this when out of the curtains steps SWEW owner Don Callis. He marches to the ring not looking happy as he grabs the mic off Shelley.
Don Callis – “Shelley you don’t run this show, I run this show and on June 25th you will not be facing Austin Aries for the Championship.”
Shelley can’t believe this and complains to Callis by getting right in his face but ring officials come down and take Shelley away.
Don Callis – “Get out of here Shelley, get out of here. I Don Callis owner of Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling would like to apologize for the actions of Alex Shelley and Majestic tonight and promise this will not happen again. On June 25th from the Gratplaz would like to inform you that the full card will be realised on www.swew.com shortly after this event, a card fully booked by SWEW officials and not Alex Shelley.
We would also like to inform you of the first two matches booked for June 25th which are in a SWEW Triple Chance match Spanky taking on Low-Ki and Bobby Quance in a right to get a title shot in SWEW and a number one contendership match for the SWEW Tag Team Championship as the Havana Pitbulls of Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero return to take on H-Factor members of Jack Evans and Teddy Hart. We would like to thank you all for coming tonight and hope you will come to future shows. Just a reminder now is that Austin Aries will be now defending his SWEW Heavyweight Championship against an unknown opponent. I can assure you, you will all be surprised and hopefully pleased at who it is. Once again thank you.”
Callis gets a nice clap from the fans as we quickly flash backstage.
We see Jimmy Jacobs is outside Austin Aries lockeroom and he is muttering to himself.
Jimmy Jacobs - “HUSSasffgdsagdsg SWEWHEAVYWEIGHTCHAMPIONSagfgeeHU SSiohgwegMINESWEWHEAVWEIGHTCHAMPIONSHIPBECKY agosfoMINETITLEBECKY asgfbljgdlbARIESgfgsgegSHELLEYHUSSh oh geeSWEWHEAVYWIGHT CHAMPIONSH IPMINE.”
Jacobs scurries away as Austin Aries comes out of the door not seeing Aries with Becky Bayless coming behind him. Aries has the SWEW Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder as we pan back to Jacobs who is still muttering to himself but then points at something as Trent Acid comes walking past the camera moving towards the ring area.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) d. Trent Acid
Yes Trent Acid despite been decimated by Majestic at the end of the last show and reportedly not in the building tonight was the mystery opponent taking on Aries. The crowd was delighted with that and cheered Acid on all through the match but was not enough for Acid to get the title in his second shot for it. Acid limped all through the match as it looked like he wasn’t 100%. He went for all his big moves early on Aries and came close to getting the pinfall after hitting a Blue Thunder Bomb on Aries who just got his feet on the ropes.
Once Aries had gotten himself together he managed to take apart the clearly injured Acid at this stage and after teasing it several times was able to strike Acid with a big brainbuster. Somehow Acid kicked out of this but he was unable to kick out of the next big move which was the 450 splash. Aries covered and it was enough to make his 6th successful title defence. Acid was slowly up clearly not been 100% for this match he did give it his all and Aries showed him respect by shaking his hand and having it raised by Acid. The fans clapped and it looked like the show was about to come to an end when once again Majestic came flying down the aisle.
They quickly stormed the ring and knocked both men over. Joe locked in the choke on Acid and had it applied for a total of 2 minutes all together. Dragon and Delirious stomped away on Aries as Becky pleaded for them to stop. Shelley shoved Becky to the mat and picked up the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. The show came to an end with Acid still locked in the choke with Aries battered on the mat, with Delirious and Super Dragon looking over him and Alex Shelley holding aloft Austin Aries’s SWEW Heavyweight Championship.
Result - Austin Aries wins

POSTSHOW
We are backstage after the show and Azreal, Matt Sydal and Daizee Haze are backstage:
Azreal – “So Matt are we off for that quick drink? I think we need it after our losses tonight.”
Matt Sydal – “How’s your neck man? I heard Low-Ki busted it up pretty bad.”
Azreal – “Yeah it hurts alright, but it should be alright, alright enough for the June 25th show.”
Matt Sydal – “That good news I guess. So we’re off? Get my bag Daizee.”
Alex Lovell – “YO BOYS.”
The camera pans down the corridor where we see Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens running towards Matt Sydal and Azreal.
Ray Stevens – “I heard you two are off for some drinks? Mind if we come along? We need it after losing the Championship match tonight.”
Matt Sydal – “Sure, we’re off now, lets go."
Sydal, Azreal, Haze walk towards the door with Lovell and Stevens behind them.
Alex Lovell – “Hey, do you guys know who your facing in Missouri yet?”
Matt Sydal – “No Callis hasn’t told us yet, do you?”
Alex Lovell – “Yeah.”
As soon as Lovell said this he and Stevens jumped Azreal and Sydal from behind. They rammed Sydals head into the wall. Then threw Azreal into a vending machine, while Daizee screamed for help.
Alex Lovell – “In Missouri you to chumps are going down. Let’s go Ray.”
Ray Stevens – “HAHAHAHAHA, we got them good there.”
We flash to outside Don Callis office which is currently locked to the annoyance of John Roberts who still has a bandage over his head and looks pissed after been screwed by Alex Shelley tonight. The office unlocks and out comes SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries with Becky Bayless.
Austin Aries – “What do you want?”
John Roberts – “What do I want? What do I want? I want to go into Callis office right now and demand a rematch against Shelley. Did you see what that punk did to me tonight, he jumped me in my first match tonight, then when I took him on I had him down for the 1, 2, 3, only for him to cheat out of it using his students to pull out the ref, then he capitalised on that and beat me. When he disrespected me, he disrespected all of the Caribbean and I will not stand for it, and I will get my fucking revenge on him.”
Austin Aries – “Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down.”
Becky Bayless – “Yeah, like totally chill out man.”
Austin Aries – “I’m the SWEW Heavyweight Champion and I’m the first to get revenge on Shelley and his chumps. You see what they did tonight, they jumped me in the ring and posed with my title belt after I beat Acid, they put Acid in hospital and shoved Becky to the mat. If anyone is getting revenge it is me. However you can help me with this.”
John Roberts – “How?”
Austin Aries – “Callis said I could have Shelley and Joe in a tag match, but I have to find a partner for that match, if you get what I’m saying.”
John Roberts – “Oh I get you, I get you alright and you damn sure I’m in.”
Austin Aries – “There is one thing through.”
John Roberts – “What?”
Austin Aries – “Callis, made some stipulations for the match?”
John Roberts – “What you talk about?”
Austin Aries – “He said, that if we win the match then whoever is on the result of the losing team will never get a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot if I pin them. However if Shelley or Joe pin me they will receive a title shot against me. So if we are in trouble you’re laying down for me and taking the pin as I’m not going to risk my championship against odds like that as they will cheat and take my title.”
John Roberts – “Austin I’m happy to be your partner if I get to get some revenge on Shelley. But if you think I’m lying down to anyone you got another thing coming as the people of the Caribbean would not respect me for doing it, and not respect you for making me do it. So a good day to you sir and see you in Missouri.”
John Roberts walks off as Aries has a smile on his face.
Becky Bayless – “Like, what a total freak.”
We go somewhere else backstage where Low-Ki is cutting a promo.
Low-Ki – “For nearly one year, I have worked towards becoming SWEW Heavyweight Champion. Now my quest is nearly complete. On June 25th Missouri in the Gratplaz I will beat Bobby Quance and Spanky to earn my first title shot and Austin Aries I will become the next SWEW Heavyweight Champion. I have become sidetracked in my career in SWEW, first Kid Kash then the Crew. Now the distractions are gone and now my ultimate goal is just two wins away and I will take the title.”
For the final promo of the show we finish with Alex Shelley who is standing in front of Delirious, Super Dragon and Samoa Joe and look in a good mood after quite a good night for Majestic.
Alex Shelley – “Don Callis, you think you got the better of Majestic, no one gets the better on Majestic not anymore. You want me and Joe to fight over who gets a title shot by making us pin Aries in a tag match. Lets get this straight. It doesn’t matter if it is me or Joe who takes the title from Aries, the title is coming to Majestic and no one can stop us. And Callis despite what you think, we still do run the show and it seems Delirious has a SWEW Triple Chance and guess what he has cashed it in to take on Styles Ca$h along with Super Dragon for the SWEW Tag Team Championship and it is going to be 2 out of 3 falls, and if you have a problem with that, you will have a problem with me, and Callis. I assure you, that you don’t want a problem with me.”
As the show fades to black we see an early card for the June 25th show for the debut Missouri event from the Gratplaz entitled ‘Tag Team Madness’

June 4th 2005

The following is a special message brought to you by Alex Shelley as leader of both Majestic and Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling:
‘May 15th 2005 will be a day that lives in my memory until the day I die. I Alex Shelley finally led my Majestic to take over Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling by taking the most vital member of the Crew, there leader Samoa Joe and adding him to my Majestic thus eliminating The Crew from the picture. Now Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling is ours to mould into the organisation you can be proud of.
After holding negotiations with Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling Commissioner and Owner Don Callis (and by negotiations we mean holding him and the rest of the office at ransom until they agree to what we say) we have decided that in a wrestling first, no matches will be booked for the June 4th show in Guthrie Centre.

You may also notice that both the SWEW Heavyweight Champion and SWEW Tag Team Champions will be in action, and yes they will be defending there championships against anyone who think they can take them.

Also I would like to congratulate young Tyrell House on becoming the 4th graduate of the SWEW Academy; this young African-American has come through my tough training regime and will surprise a lot of you with his talent on June 4th.
It has also come to my attention that myself and my fellow members of Majestic Delirious, Samoa Joe and Super Dragon have been threaten with revenge for what we did at the end of ‘Fly or Die’. In response to that, the students of my SWEW Training academy will stand guard around the ring during all of our matches in the near future to guarantee our safety. For all of those wanting to know why Samoa Joe switched teams, Joe himself will reveal in the middle of the ring why he joined the winning team, my team.

Commentator: Don Callis & Eric Garguilo
PRESHOW
We are outside the arena with around 4 hours to go before the show starts at 7:30pm. We see the Crew walk in together despite Trent Acid nailing Samoa Joe with a Yakuza Kick at the end of the show last night. An SWEW official tries to get a word with the Crew but they just walk straight past him and into there lockeroom, as they have to prepare for the final battle against Majestic in the No-DQ main event tonight.
SHOW
To start the show off, Majestics, Like A Stone (remix) by Audioslave hits and Alex Shelley makes his way to the ring followed by Delirious and Super Dragon. Shelley is booed for several minutes as he picks up the mic and after several delays due to the 1554 fans in attendance, Alex Shelley starts to talk.
Alex Shelley – “Last night, in this very building you saw the Crew disintegrate in the middle of the ring. When Trent Acid nailed Samoa Joe with the Yakuza Kick after I had just beaten Joe’s fat ass all over North Dakota, I knew my job was nearly done. The Crew have self-destructed and tonight in this very ring, the craziest man in wrestling Delirious, the most psychotic wrestler in the history of the sport Super Dragon and your OWN FUCKING GOD Alex Shelley along with our mystery superstar and 4th member of our elite group of wrestlers, know as Majestic will put the final nail in Joe’s Crew and go on to rule SWEW forever, forever and forever.”
The fans boo Shelley, as Delirious and Super Dragon threaten the fans non-verbally.
Alex Shelley – “That’s right, we are going to take all the titles, all the main events, we are going to run this place after we defeat the Crew tonight. But I know you haven’t come to hear me talk tonight, so without no further a due introducing our mystery partner for tonight’s match and the 4th member of Majestic is……..”.
The lights go out, and the fans who we can barley see are all looking at the aisle way and there is a genuine feel of excitement in the Hallom Arena, after 20 seconds of nothing happening the lights go back on and Shelley, Super Dragon and Delirious are still standing in the ring.
Alex Shelley – “Hahahahaha, not yet, he’s not ready to reveal himself yet, but later tonight, The Crew will feel his wrath as Majestic defeat the Crew in tonight No-DQ main event match and forever rule SWEW.”
Shelley leaves the ring guarded by Super Dragon and Delirious. The fans boo Shelley some more as they generally wanted to see who there partner will be in tonight’s main event against The Crew.
Fly or Die Tournament – Semi Final
Azreal d. Roderick Strong
Our first match of the night saw the first semi-final of the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament and we also saw another top name go out at the hands of the surprise package of the tournament Azreal. Azreal who was hobbling on his right leg most of the match after he took a big beating from Dan Maff last night, took an even bigger one from Strong tonight. Roderick hammered Azreal with several backbreakers during the match and thought he had the match won when he caught Azreal with a big tilt-a-whirl backbreaker but Azreal just managed to kick out and with that he managed to get the fans behind him.
Azreal gave it his all, in the final few minute and it was enough to secure Azreal a place in the final and a chance to become a full-time member on the SWEW roster. When Strong went for a second tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, Azreal managed to counter it with a hurricanarana and after hitting a few more big kicks to Strong; Azreal bounced off the ropes and hit Strong with the Flying Somersault Stunner. Azreal covered and that was enough to pick up the win, and a place in the final. Strong quietly left as Azreal celebrated clutching his leg and now back as a small Azreal chant started up.
Result - Azreal wins
(13:06) **3/4
Spanky d. Gregg Bradley
Another match for the big Gregg Bradley and another loss for the big Gregg Bradley as Spanky managed to get back on the right track. To be fair Bradley showed a greater amount of skill and impressed against Spanky using more technical moves including an inverted Boston Crab on Spanky which surprised a few fans in attendance with this. However Spanky was still far too good for Bradley, as he managed to ware the big man down enough and managed to hit the Sliced Bread #2 on Bradley to pick up the win. Spanky gave Bradley a little nod of respect to Spanky before Bradley went to the back.
Result - Spanky wins
(11:54) **1/2
Fly or Die Tournament – Semi Final
Joey Ryan d. Sexxxy Eddy
Sexxxy Eddy but on a much better match than last nights debacle against ARSENAL but it was not enough to go on to face Azreal in the final of the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament later tonight. Eddy didn’t botch anything like last night and the fans thought he had it won when he hit a springboard DDT on Ryan but Ryan just kicked out. Ryan won the match when Eddy missed a top rope somersault 450 splash and Ryan locked in a modified arm-bar to make Eddy tap in the middle of the ring.
Result - Joey Ryan wins
(12:37) **3/4
AJ Styles is warming up minutes before his match with Low-Ki when his co-holder of the SWEW Tag Team Championship Chris Ca$h, comes up to meet him.
Chris Ca$h – “Sup AJ?”
AJ Styles – “Sup.”
Chris Ca$h– “You ready to represent Team Ca$h tonight and beat Low-Ki while I in my first ever SWEW Heavyweight Championship match, defeat Austin Aries and become the first ever double champion in SWEW.”
AJ Styles – “Team Ca$h? What the hell are you talking about? If it wasn’t for you last night I would have covered Trent Acid after hitting the Styles Clash and I would be the one to take on Aries tonight.”
Chris Ca$h – “Yeah but I flew over the ropes and hit you with the legdrop and I beat you in the middle of the ring AJ. You’ve got no one to blame but yourself for not getting the job done. Now go out there and represent the man who brought you into SWEW and beat Low-Ki.”
AJ Styles – “Look Chris, I’m grateful for you bringing me into SWEW as your partner, but I’ve almost single-handedly defended our tag belts these past few months while you get your ass kicked all over the ring. I will not be representing Team Ca$h tonight, I will be representing myself out there when I defeat Low-Ki myself. Man Trent has really got into your head.”
AJ leaves the room and brushes past Ca$h, who just smirks as we go back to ringside.
Low-Ki d. AJ Styles
Best SWEW match ever, was the generally thought after nearly 30 minutes of two of the greatest wrestlers in the US today had a fantastic bout. Crisp mat action, insane highflying moves and stiff strikes got the crowd into a tizzy. Both men were looking to win this big match. Low-Ki needed to prove he could still hang with the top guys in SWEW, while AJ Styles with all his problems with Ca$h needed to know he could still go on his own.
With all this both men needed and had to win and both claim close. Low-Ki thought he would make AJ tap in a camel clutch after AJ earlier injured his back when he missed a plancha to the outside but AJ just got to the ropes. 20 minutes in AJ looked to hit the Styles Clash on Low-Ki but Low-Ki managed to hold onto AJ for dear life and lock in an armbar but AJ just swing Low-Ki into the corner buckle and covered for a two.
The crowd were going ape 24 minutes in and couldn’t care who won anymore. The finish came when AJ and Low-Ki were trading chops in the middle of the ring. AJ got the better of this and managed to swing for a discus lariat, however Low-Ki ducked and then caught AJ in the Dragon Clutch. AJ desperately tried to get to the ropes but was unable to as Low-Ki brought AJ down to the mat and he had no choice but to tap out. The fans chanted Match of the Year as AJ slowly got up and shook Low-Kis hand. AJ went to the back holding his back as Low-Ki celebrated his big, big win over AJ Styles.
Result - Low-Ki wins
(26:05) ****3/4
Matt Sydal and Daizee Haze come to the ring to a nice reception before Sydals match with Jimmy Rave. Rave comes down to some boos but gets a nice cheer as he picks up the mic just before the match and starts talking:
Jimmy Rave – “Last night when I was partying at club WOW. I was having a good time, partying with all the chicks, when who should I see but lovely Miss Haze all alone in the corner. Been the gentleman I am, I went to see how see was doing and what should happened. Matt Sydal comes from behind sucker punches me, and they kick both of us out of the club. How unfair was that? Now tonight in front of all these fans I’m going to ask Daizee something I wanted to ask her last night.”
Jimmy walks over to Daizee who seems to be liking the attention.
Jimmy Rave – “Will you be my girlfriend?”
The crowd start to laugh at Raves lameness but it doesn’t matter as Sydal pissed at Rave hitting on his girl starts hammering away on Rave as the match gets started.
Jimmy Rave d. Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze)
Sydal hammered away at Rave in the early going and Rave probably wished he hadn’t said anything now, as Sydal threw Rave to the outside then came on top of him with a big somersault plancha. Rave managed to get back into the match with a thumb to the eye on the outside then he whipped him into the guard railings. Back in the ring Rave dominated for the most part getting several two counts on Sydal.
Rave started to get frustrated at his inability to put Sydal away and with Daizee giving support to Sydal and getting the crowd behind Sydal. This gave Sydal the opportunity to strike after he blocked the shinning wizard from Rave and knocked him down. Sydal chopped Rave in the corner then when Rave stumbled out of the corner; he hit Rave with a stiff lariat and got him in position for the Shooting Star Press. Sydal climbed to the top rope and leaped off but Rave rolled away and Sydal crashed and burned. Rave crawled and covered Sydal with his feet on the rope but the ref couldn’t see this as Rave picked up the 3 count. Daizee and Sydal tried to complain to ref Sean Hanson to no avail as Rave went to the back with a smile on his face after steeling a win.
Result - Jimmy Rave wins
(15:45) ***
Backstage Chris Ca$h is doing some last minute warm-ups before his SWEW Heavyweight Championship match with Austin Aries when his co-holder of his SWEW Tag Team Championship AJ Styles walks into the room holding his back after his brutal match with Low-Ki.
Chris Ca$h – “Well you’ve decided to show your face after THAT?”
AJ Styles – “What the hell are you talking about?”
Chris Ca$h – “You go and lose to Low-Ki and embarrass me in front of all my fans just before I go and win the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. What have you got to say for yourself?”
AJ Styles – “Go fuck yourself Chris.”
AJ picks up his bags without getting changed and leaves the room and the arena, and will be missing his partners first ever SWEW Heavyweight Championship match.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries © (w/Becky Bayless) d. Chris Ca$h
It wasn’t going to be the fairytale story for Ca$h as despite his best efforts Austin Aries made his 5th defence of the SWEW Heavyweight Championship, a successful one. However Ca$h was not out of his depth as for a good 10 minutes he hung with the champ, chop for chop, kick for kick, hurricanarana to hurricanarana until Aries stepped it up a gear.
When Ca$h missed a top rope legdrop, Aries just tore apart the right leg Ca$h had landed on with stiff kicks and when Aries locked in a figure four leglock on that leg, Ca$h screamed in pain has the crowd rallied behind him as he managed to get to the ropes. The damage however was done and despite won last attempted comeback, Aries managed to hit a stiff dropkick to the head of Ca$h who could barley stand on his two feet then Aries finished Ca$h off with the 450 Splash to make a successful title defence.
Result - Austin Aries wins
(15:07) ***1/2
Fly or Die Tournament – Final
Azreal d. Joey Ryan
With both men making there third appearance in 2 days and looking for a regular place on the roster Ryan and Azreal gave it all to keep there place on the roster. Azreal still feeling his back and leg injuries from the beatings Strong and Maff gave him over the last two days was once again on the wrong side of a beating as Joey Ryan abandoned his usual highflying manoeuvres for a more ground based attack.
Ryan came close to getting his place on the roster several times. When he hit an X Bomb on Azreal he thought he got the three count but Azreal just kicked out. The crowd now firmly behind Azreal begged him not to tap out as Ryan locked in a STF on Azreal but he just got to the rope. Despite all of the punishment the star of the tournament Azreal had taken he was still standing when the finish came as Ryan went for a super kick, but Azreal ducked and when Ryan span around, Azreal jumped up and hit the somersault stunner on Ryan and covered for the 3 count. Azreal celebrated widely after the match as Don Callis made his way down to the ring.
Result - Azreal wins the 'Fly or Die' Tournament
(17:03) ***
Don Callis comes to the ring and shakes Azreals hand and raises it before he grabs a mic and begins to talk
Don Callis – “Congratulations Azreal on winning the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament and getting a place on the SWEW roster.”
The crowd applauds Azreal as he goes towards the back as Callis continues talking.
Don Callis – “I would like for you to come to future SWEW events starting on June 4th our next show from June 4th as we go home to the Guthrie Centre in Iowa and then onto our debut show in Missouri from the Gratplaz on June 25th. As well as those I would like to announce exclusively our return to South Dakota at the James Smith Memorial Arena on July 16th for how 1st Year Anniversary show.”
The crowd clap for the announcement of the Anniversary show.
Don Callis – “And then our first show outside the Midwest as on July 30th as we go out west to California at the Beach House Plex for a huge show on the west coast. We hope you can come to these four shows and more information will be announced close to the time, with the card for our next show on June 4th to be decided and posted up on www.SWEW.com after the winner between the Crew and Majestic is determined as there final battle is coming up next. So get ready for a war as I promise you this match could change SWEW forever.”
Callis goes to the back as SWEW officials bring out lots of weapons including 2 barbwire boards, a ladder and several tables are set up around the ring.
No DQ Match
Majestic (Alex Shelley, Delirious, Super Dragon & ?? ?? ??) vs. The Crew (Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero, Samoa Joe & Trent Acid)
The Crew come out first to a nice reception and all looked very focused as Samoa Joe order the Pitbulls and Trent Acid to stand behind him when they get into the ring. Majestics music hits and Alex Shelley, Delirious and Super Dragon come down and there is no forth man. Shelley gets in the ring and gets right in Joes face but they are separated by Ref Paul Turner. The announcer asks Shelley were the forth man is and we see Shelley say get on with it. The announcer announces the seven competitors in the ring. No tags are to be made in this match and the only way to win is for one of the competitors to be pinned or made to submit to win the match. So it looks like it is to be the three men of Majestic against the four men of the Crew as the two teams go face to face when the lights go out and Majestics music hits.
The crowd look down the entrance way, but the lights come back on and no one is there as Majestic jump the Crew and the match starts. Having the advantage after the lights went out, both Pitbulls were dumped to the outside and with Samoa Joe been knocked down by a Super Dragon lariat the three men of Majestic attacked Trent Acid and then in what looked like a planned moment, launched Trent Acid over the top rope in a 3 man assisted powerbomb through a table set up on the outside to virtually take Trent Acid out of the match early on. Acid looked in a bad way from the lay he landed and looked to be busted open seconds into the match as officials ran out to check on him.
Alex Shelley was laughing at Trent when from behind the Havana Pitbulls came into the ring with a ladder and charged at Shelley knocking him down into the corner. They tried that on Delirious and hit it as the crazy one went down but Super Dragon was able to dropkick the ladder and it fell on both Pitbulls. Dragon short-arm clotheslined Samoa Joe who had tried to catch him from behind and the duo then began to trade chops which Samoa Joe won comfortably. Down in the corner Dragon went and he was hit with the face wash several times and then by the running big boot which hit so hard Super Dragon was knocked to the outside precariously close to one of the barbwire boards.
Reyes got up slowly but was put back to the mat with a DDT from Alex Shelley. Delirious was been chocked by Rocky Romeros boot and was joined by Samoa Joe as Delirious squalled from his life until Alex Shelley who had picked up a leather strap from somewhere whipped Joe hard in the back with it knocking him to the ground and was then able to wrap it around Rocky Romeros neck and started to violently choke him until Ricky Reyes stopped him knocking him down with hit a clothesline. Super Dragon who had got back into the ring with a steel chair, aimed it at Samoa Joe who was slowly getting up but Joe ducked it and then caught Dragon with a big STO landing him right on the ladder

NO
Delirious had just broken up the count and then delivered three stiff kicks to Joe on the floor until he was completely murdered by a Romero clothesline. Trent Acid was showing little sign of movement on the outside as Romero locked in an arm-bar on Delirious who screamed in pain, but Alex Shelley who had disposed of Ricky Reyes with a superkick locked in a leglock on Romero who was forced to release Delirious. Samoa Joe sensing an opportunity picked up the ladder from the middle of the ring and started violently swinging it round his head at all member of Majestic. Down went the oncoming Delirious, then Super Dragon then Alex Shelley. The crowd was cheering widely with Samoa Joe standing alone in the ring holding the ladder over his head when once again the lights went out AND AJ STYLES MUSIC HITS.
The crowd are almost stunned and start banging on the guard railing looking down the aisle, but there is no AJ Styles that comes down and when the lights come back on there is no AJ Styles in the ring but it has given Majestic enough time to recover and scamper to the outside. Shelley gets his boys to regroup on the outside when out of nowhere Samoa Joe launches himself through the ropes with a tope towards Majestic but they quickly split making Joe crash and burn on the outside onto the floor. Like a pack of wolves Majestic stamped away at Joe until the Pitbulls came to the outside and attacked them. Dragon and Shelley managed to get Romero into a corner away from everyone else but that was a mistake as this left Reyes and Delirious alone. Both men were near a barbwire board and when Delirious tries to drive Reyes into it, Reyes just picked Delirious us and slammed him down with a release spinebuster onto the barbwire board knocking Delirious out cold and caught up in all the barbwire.
Unfortunately for Rocky Romero, Delirious wasn’t the only one to be a recipient of the barbwire board as on the other side of the ring apron, Romero was unable to fit off Alex Shelley and Super Dragon who picked him up together and then dropped him through the barbwire board cutting him open and bleeding badly, leaving it 2 on 2 with Alex Shelley and Super Dragon on Majestics side and Ricky Reyes and Samoa Joe with the Crew, with the other three men laid out on the outside.
The four men stood in the ring in a standoff before the four men charged at each other. Shelley was caught with a boot from Samoa Joe and was then hit with a powerbomb and he floated over into a STF. Dragon tried to break it up but Reyes from behind grabbed Dragon and hit a german suplex onto the ladder in the middle of the ring, leaving Shelley trapped in the STF looking like he would tap. However in desperation Alex Shelley was able to pick up what appeared to be a metal spike and jam it into the face of Samoa Joe cutting him open and making him release the hold.
Shelley managed to knock Reyes down with the spike by using it as a weapon while Super Dragon got his borings and started to stamp away on Reyes. Shelley now targeted Joe and with the metal spike he started jamming it in the face of Joe. The fans were calling Shelley a ‘sick fuck’ when Joe suddenly got a rush of adrenaline and started to come back with a flurry of punches and kicks to Shelley and he managed to pick Shelley up and drive him down to the mat with the Muscle Buster and cover.

NO
Super Dragon made the save, but Joe was still feeling it and tackled Dragon to the mat also taking out Reyes. Shelley slowly got up but Samoa Joe span him round and locked in the choke. Shelley desperately tried to stay on his feet grabbing onto the ropes but Joe leaned back and locked in the choke in the middle of the ring. The crowd was screaming for Shelley to tap when once again the lights went out AND JIMMY JACOBS MUSIC HIT?
The crowd once again looked up the aisle and screamed HUSS this time but Jacobs or anyone never came once again. When the lights came back on we saw Alex Shelley laid out in the middle of the ring feeling the effects of the choke from Joe, but Joe was been laid into by Super Dragon with a steel chair coming down on his several times. From behind Ricky Reyes grabbed Super Dragon and whipped him into the corner and then ran with a big splash into the corner. Reyes picked Dragon up and put him on the top rope and looked to suplex on top of the ladder laid into the ring. Dragon fought it off and stood up as did Reyes. Then in a hart in hand moment, Reyes appeared to slip and both men fell to the outside crashing through a table set up on the outside leaving Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe alone in the ring.
Shelley and Joe were slowly up but Shelley was the quickest to strike and hit the Shellshock on Joe and slowly covered

Joe just got up. Shelley picked up a steel chair and swung at Joe but Joe ducked once but not the second time as the chair went down hard on Samoa Joes head. Blood was pouring out of Samoa Joes head as Shelley made another cover

NO
Somehow Joe kicked out and Shelley couldn’t believe it. Shelley got up and kicked Joe a few times in his gut and locked in the Border City Stretch. Joe screamed in agony but somehow had enough strength to claw himself to the ropes and Shelley was forced to break up the hold. Joe was a broken man now and Shelley sensed this. Alex Shelley picked up a steel chair and with Samoa Joe on his knees Shelley swung down the chair towards Joes head only from out of nowhere a bloodied Trent Acid who had been knocked out for close to 25 minutes hit a Yakuza Kick on Alex Shelley sending him down to the mat.
Acid collapsed to the mat still woozy but was first up as he picked up Alex Shelley while Joe also slowly got to his feet. Trent Acid picked up the leather strap and whipped Shelley several times with it and then started to tie the belt around Shelley and the ring rope leaving Shelley helpless as Samoa Joe was now at his feet. Joe picked up the chair as the crowd was now rabid. Joe put the chair above his head when once again the lights went out.
No music was played this time and with the crowd in a frenzied state looking everywhere for something to happen, the lights came back on and Shelley was still tied up to the ropes with Samoa Joe and Trent Acid standing over him. Samoa Joe just shrugged his shoulders swung back the steel chair AND SMASHED TRENT ACID IN THE FACE.
The crowd were going ballistic as Samoa Joe had an evil smile over his bloodied face as Alex Shelley started a deranged laugh. Joe untied Shelley as the two men hugged in the middle of the ring as the crowd started to throw garbage at them. Shelley picked up his own steel chair as the Pitbulls came slowly into the ring crawling. Down went Romero with a steel chair shot from Joe; down went Reyes with a steel chair shot from Shelley. Trent Acid completely out of it somehow got to his feet but was swinging widely at nothing and was out on his feet. Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley looked at each other and delivered a double chair shot to Trent Acids head which made a sickening thud around the arena. Acid collapsed to the mat and Alex Shelley placed one foot on Trent Acid as the ref made the cover

Alex Shelley had pinned Trent Acid as the crowd booed immensely.
Result – Majestic (Alex Shelley, Delirious, Samoa Joe and Super Dragon) win
(27:51) ****1/2
Delirious and Super Dragon slowly got into the ring and joined Samoa Joe in stamping on the Pitbulls and Trent Acid as Alex Shelley picked up a microphone.
Alex Shelley – “I told you, I told you all the forth man of Majestic would shock the world. So here I am in our greatest moment of victory introducing the forth member of my Majestic, Samoa Joe, HAHAHAHAHA.”
The crowd booed as Samoa Joe locked in the choke to Trent Acid on the mat as Super Dragon and Delirious stamped away on the Pitbulls.
Alex Shelley – “Now we will rule SWEW forever and ever and there is nothing anyone can do to stop us, HAHAHAHA.”
Shelley goes to stamp on Acid while he is in the choke. Eventually Joe lets go and the camera pans over Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romeros and Trent Acids bloodied bodies laid out on the mat and then shows Majestic of Alex Shelley, Delirious, Super Dragon and now Samoa Joe with there hands risen in victory as the show comes to an end with the crowd booing Majestic as ring officials try and get the Crew out of the ring.

My 6th month anniversary past yesterday :thumbsup: Thanks for all your support from people who read it, as I appreciate good feedback, like Sullen has left below.
Fly or Die – Night 2May 15th 2005
Hallom Arena, North Dakota
Thank you for all the fans who came to the Hallom Arena last night for night one of the Fly or Die weekend and we hope as many of you can come back tonight. We still have no idea who the 4th man in the Majestic team tonight will be. Despite the rumours on the SWEW message board that CM Punk has been spotted in the North Dakota area last night. Alex Shelley has squashed those rumours by appearing on the boards himself after the show last night, saying it isn’t Punk and everyone in the back, the stands and the boards will be in shock of who it will be. So that clears that up.
Chris Ca$h is looking forward to his first ever SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot against Austin Aries tonight. Ca$h is hoping he can surprise Aries and take the gold home. Aries is just looking to make Ca$h his 5th victim of his title reign. Not so happy is Chris Ca$h’s co-holder of the SWEW Tag Team Championship AJ Styles who will face Low-Ki tonight after missing out on a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot. Low-Ki is in a very bad mood and will be looking to take out his frustrations on AJ, who will be looking to keep up his good win-loss record in SWEW.
Apart from a few minor points the SWEW officials are happy with how the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament went last night. With the semi-finals and finals taking place tonight, the winner will have to win two matches tonight, to win a regular place on the SWEW roster. Azreal picked up a leg injury in his match with Dan Maff last night, but will be in action as this is an opportunity he can’t miss.
Spanky is looking to get back on track tonight as he takes on the monster Gregg Bradley tonight, who is still looking for his first win. We have heard of an altercation between Jimmy Rave and Matt Sydal last night at a local club just 24 hours before there match. Reports say Rave was trying to chat up Sydals girlfriend Daizee Haze and when Sydal found out the duo got into an altercation and were both escorted from the premises. Will Rave and Sydal be able to compete fairly in there match tonight, after what happened last night?
With all this action with this stacked card, you can not miss this huge show in SWEW history as the war between Majestic and the Crew finally comes to an end tonight. Tickets are $15 on the door at the Hallom Arena and you must come and watch it. Everyone feels tonight could be the start of something special in SWEW and people feel we are not far away from a new era in SWEW and the old one could come to an end tonight, but who will be the major players of this new SWEW? There is only one way to find out.

SHOW
There is no pre-show action, as we open up in the ring with our SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries and his ‘associate’ Becky Bayless in the ring. Austin had a mic in his hands and began to talk as the fans screamed obscene remarks to Becky who was posing in the ring:
Austin Aries – “As I enter my second month as your SWEW Heavyweight Champion…..”
The crowd gives a mixture of cheers and boos to that statement as Austin continues talking
Austin Aries – “I have proved without a shadow of doubt the curse of the champion is over. Alex Shelley held it for what, a week? Samoa Joe just a bit longer? In my four title defences I have brought prestige to the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. On my first night as champion I defended my title twice on the same night. My opponent for tonight Jimmy Jacobs went down as did Jimmy Rave. I then moved on to ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ to take on CM Punk. Punk could talk the talk, but he couldn’t walk the walk as I beat him and threw his arse out of SWEW of ever. Than at the last show, it was meant to be Spankys big moment. The only big moment of the match was when I nearly broke your neck Spanky before hitting the 450 splash on you and retaining my SWEW Heavyweight Championship, and getting you out from under my feet once and for all. Now getting back to Jimmy Jacobs, seriously this kid is a loser; he gets a lucky title reign and now thinks he is the man around here. Not anymore, I’m the man, I’m the champion but tonight it is not about the title. Tonight is about destroying Jimmy Jacobs so badly there will be no more chanting of ‘HUSS’ in SW……….”
The crowd madly started to chant ‘HUSS’ over and over, and every time Austin tried to talk ‘HUSS’ just rung round the arena until Jimmy Jacobs came down to the aisle to a huge reception as SWEWs favourite son prepared to take on Austin Aries in a non-title match up.
Austin Aries (w/Becky Bayless) d. Jimmy Jacobs
In a good hot opener, Austin Aries was able to go (2-1) over Jimmy Jacobs in SWEW after yet another good showing. With Becky Bayless (Jacobs ex) on the outside giving him support Aries used his power and strength advantage to keep Jacobs grounded most of the match. Jacobs however wasn’t on the back foot all the time. Jacobs came close to defeating the champion after a springboard dropkick was followed up by a Yakuza Kick but Aries kicked out at two.
Jacobs also got a two count with reverse DDT but Aries was able to kick out. Once Aries had gotten his head he picked Jacobs apart for several minutes until he managed to knock Jacobs down with a big clothesline, then climb the ropes and hit the 450 Splash to get the 3 count. Aries and Becky left hand in hand back down the aisle to boos while Jacobs got a nice reception as he made his way to the back.
Result - Austin Aries wins
(12:06) ***1/4
Fly or Die Tournament – Round 1
Sexxxy Eddy d. ARSENAL
The two young Canadians aren’t well known in this part and would have been better if it took place on either of the coasts. It showed as both men got virtually zero reaction and both men actually got booed at how bad and sloppy some of the action was. Sexxxy Eddy won when he hit the Total Sextasy on ARSENAL. Eddy was meant to be playing the face but also got booed as the celebrated. He will be hoping for a better night tomorrow as he takes on the winner of the Joey Ryan, Scott Lost match in the semi-finals.
Result - Sexxxy Eddy wins
(8:08) *
The Havana Pitbulls d. Majestic (Delirious & Super Dragon)
After a bad start to the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament, we went straight back to a SWEW mainstay as the first action between the Crew and Majestic of the weekend took place and the result went to the Crew. Romero and Reyes spent a large amount of the match keeping Delirious from tagging in a strange heel-in-peril sequence. When Super Dragon finally got in the ring it was a virtual handicap match for the last 5 minutes as the ref had lost all control of who was legal.
With Delirious down in the ring, Super Dragon did his best for his team in this situation but was unable to fight off the Pitbulls as they threw him to the outside and with Reyes blocking Dragon from re-entering, Romero locked in an armbar on Delirious who tapped out almost instantaneously. The Pitbulls looked impressive as they gave the Crew a good boost going into the final battle tomorrow night.
Result - The Havana Pitbulls win
(20:45) ****
Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero are followed into the back by a camera into there lockeroom where they are congratulated by Samoa Joe and Trent Acid who look in a good mood after seeing there team go (1-0) over Majestic.
Fly or Die Tournament – Round 1
Roderick Strong d. Rainman
This was a much better match to get the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament going after the debacle of the first match. Both men were really over, Rainman looked very impressive in the match and hit a nice flying plancha onto Strong on the outside. Unfortunately for Rainman it was his high flying moves that cost him the match as when he looked to hit a crossbody off the top onto Strong. Strong caught the big man and drove him into his knee with a deadly backbreaker with a high velocity. Strong covered and got the 3 count and went on to the semi-finals tomorrow night. Rainman got a please come back chant from the fans as he went to the back, but it will be up to SWEW officials if he ever got to come back.
Result - Roderick Strong wins
(9:57) **3/4
Fly or Die Tournament – Round 1
Azreal d. Dan Maff
In the upset of the night Azreal was able to beat Dan Maff out of nowhere to go through to meet Roderick Strong in the semi-finals tomorrow night. Maff was crazy over with the fans, but Azreal got the fans to take him to hart as he received the beating of a life time in the ring. For close to 10 minutes Maff just pounded on Azreal but was unable to pick up the win. Azreal picked up the win out of nowhere when he reversed a Burning Hammer attempt into the Somersault Stunner which stunned Maff long enough for Azreal to pick up the win. Azreal hobbled o the back as fast as he could, as Maff tried to grab Azreal. Maff couldn’t believe it as he walked to the back as the youngster Azreal picked up the win.
Result - Azreal wins
(15:04) ***
AJ Styles is warming up moments before his SWEW Triple Chance against long-time rival Trent Acid, and his co-holder of his SWEW Tag Team Championship as Styles Ca$h his partner Chris Ca$h. AJ is just about to go when Ca$h bursts into scene:
Chris Ca$h – “Sup AJ, you ready?”
AJ Styles – “Ready for what, I thought we were going alone tonight.”
Chris Ca$h – “We might be facing off tonight, but remember AJ who brought you into SWEW. We might be champions together but don’t forget who brought you into SWEW in the first place. If there’s an opportunity to pin Acid in there, you will step aside and let me cover him.”
AJ Styles – “Whatever.”
AJ barges past Ca$h, who has a smirk on his face as we go to the ring for the SWEW Triple Chance match.
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Chris Ca$h d. AJ Styles & Trent Acid
Chris Ca$h tonight earned his first shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship, as tomorrow night he will take on Austin Aries in a championship match tomorrow night. Ca$h accomplished this feat in a very good match between the three men. The crowd were firmly behind AJ to win this thing, and came close when he hit the Spiral Tap on Acid but Ca$h broke up the fall.
Ca$h and AJ were tentative to fighting each other first preferring to have it off with Acid. However once they got into the swing of things the SWEW Tag Team Champions were really laying into each other. The finish came, when Trent Acid who had, a poor showing really in this match was hit by the Styles Clash from AJ. It looked all over but before AJ could turn him over, Ca$h spring boarded over the top rope and hit a legdrop to the back of AJs head. Ca$h covered AJ who couldn’t kick out in time and Ca$h picked up the win.
After the match Ca$h and Acid shook hands, but when Acid offered AJ a hand, AJ blew him off. Even more surprisingly was when Ca$h offered his partner AJ his hand, AJ just blew him off and went to the back after taking his tag title belt. AJ Styles tomorrow night will now have to face Low-Ki, where he will have to be on the top of his game if he is to come out of that on top. Ca$h celebrated in the ring to a nice pop as he knows it’s his big chance tomorrow night to become SWEW Heavyweight Champion. Trent Acid of course will be part of the Crew taking on Majestic tomorrow night.
Result - Chris Ca$h wins
(16:34) ***
Fly or Die Tournament – Round 1
Joey Ryan d. Scott Lost
Joey Ryan became the final man to get to the semi-finals of the ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament to take on Canadian Sexxxy Eddy tomorrow night. The two men had a very good match but it never really have time to get going as 7 minutes into the match Joey Ryan caught Scott Lost with the Rolling Choke to pick up the win after both men had shown some nice mat and high flying work.
Result - Joey Ryan wins
(7:03) **3/4
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts makes his way to the ring with Wasted Talent of Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens following behind them holding a ladder. Roberts has a mic in his hand and starts talking once they get in the ring, while Lovell and Stevens climb to the top of the ladder they set up in the ring.
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “Listen up, listen up. Tonight in this ladder match you are going to see the end of the H-Factor. My boys Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens, are going to use all there West-Caribbean high flying skills, when they finish off the destruction of the H-Factor and they will then be no longer there problem, my problem or the people of the Caribbean anymore, as the disrespectful punks will have to split up forever.”
H-Factor had heard enough and came flying through the curtain and down the aisle. Wasted Talent jumped off the ladder before they were pushed as the match got underway,
Ladder Match – Losing Faction Must Split Up
Alex Lovell, John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts and Ray Stevens vs. H-Factor (Bobby Quance, Jack Evans & Teddy Hart
This was one crazy match that saw the final battle of John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts feud with H-Factor; we saw nearly every move possible in an attempt to win this match but the six men. The first 10 minutes or so was just a crazy brawl all around the arena floor and in the ring. A key moment in this time was Lovell and Stevens hip-tossing Bobby Quance into the guard railings on the outside, with such force the metal sheet came off on top of him. This took Quance out of the match for 5 or so minutes allowing Roberts and his crew to take control.
A few close calls were made from ref Hanson on Evans and Hart who were really feeling pain now in this 3 on 2 situation. Team Roberts decided to bring the ladder into play. Setting up the ladder in the ring Ray Stevens came off the top with a big elbow drop onto Hart but only got a 2 as Quance came and broke up the call.
For the next 15 minutes it was all spot-sell-spot-sell off the two ladders after Teddy Hart brought one into the ring from inside the ring. The most dangerous spot was when Teddy Hart hit a hurricanarana off one ladder taking Alex Lovell to the floor nearly breaking his neck. The finish came after another crazy spot where Jack Evans hit a 450 somersault crossbody off the ladder onto Wasted Talent and Teddy Hart and Bobby Quance who were fighting outside the ring leaving Roberts in the ring with Evans groggily getting up on the outside but had just crawled into the ring.
Roberts went to the outside and brought in a table into the ring and set it up under the ladder. Roberts dragged Evans and pulled him to the top of the ladder. He set Jack Evans up for the Jamaican Driver and got him in position. The 1283 fans in attendance were all on there feet as Roberts leaped towards the ladder only for Evans to reverse it midair into a reverse hurricanarana. The fans chanted holy shit as they just witnessed John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts been driven threw a table nearly headfirst from 12ft in the air. Evans slowly covered Roberts and yes that was all.
Ring officials quickly ran to the ring to check on John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts. He was stretched out of there on his own. Quance, Evans and Hart hugged in the ring as they realised they were finally free from Roberts and could still team together. Lovell and Stevens quietly left as Don Callis made his way to the ring as H-Factor made there way to the back.
Result – H-Factor (Bobby Quance, Jack Evans & Teddy Hart) win
(23:45) ***1/2
As the ring was been cleaned and cleared in time for the Alex Shelley vs. Samoa Joe main event Don Callis started to talk
Don Callis – “Wow, what a match that was.”
The fans clapped in agreement as Don Callis continued
Don Callis – “We at Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling would like to thank all 1200 of you for turning up tonight and we hope you can turn up tomorrow night same time, same place for night 2 of this ‘Fly or Die’ weekend. You will see tomorrow the final battle of the war between The Crew of Samoa Joe, The Havana Pitbulls and Trent Acid take on Majestic of Alex Shelley, Delirious, Super Dragon and a mystery partner who even I don’t know who it will be, as they fight in a no-DQ match. The SWEW Heavyweight Championship is on the line as Austin Aries defends against Chris Ca$h. AJ Styles will take on Low-Ki, Spanky will be in action against the monster Gregg Bradley, Jimmy Rave will take on Matt Sydal in a issue that has started to get heated, and finally you will see the semi-finals and finals of the Fly or Die Tournament where the winner will get a full time place on the SWEW roster. The semi-finals will be Azreal who caused a huge upset by defeating Dan Maff taking on Roderick Strong and Sexxxy Eddy taking on Joey Ryan. We hope you can be there tomorrow night, but please stay in your seats as we have a big one coming up as Alex Shelley takes on Samoa Joe.”
Alex Shelley vs. Samoa Joe
Both men came to the ring with no backup as they knew this was a match that had to be won by themselves as the leaders of Majestic and the Crew respectively knew winning this match going into tomorrow night for the No-DQ group war would be a massive confidence boost and the winner would have a huge psychological boost over the other team. Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley stood, toe-to-toe, Samoa Joe looked very confident as he knows Alex Shelley is yet to beat him in singles action in SWEW. The bell rang and the match got started.
With some basic wrestling to start us off Don Callis on commentary played up the fact that we still don’t know who the 4th member of Majestic will be tomorrow night and they repeated what Alex Shelley had said on the last show that the man could be one of Samoa Joes followers, but also said that could just be a ploy to get Samoa Joe off the scent and create dissention in the ranks.
After around five minutes of basic mat wrestler in a surprisingly calm atmosphere, Samoa Joe playing the face won the fans acclaim when he busted out a series of chops against Alex Shelley then blasted Shelley with a clothesline into the corner. Samoa Joe used a boot scrape against Alex Shelley then hit the ropes and went for a big boot in the corner, but Alex Shelley rolled out of the ring. The crowd booed as Samoa Joe followed him to the outside. Shelley begged for mercy, but it was no use as Samoa Joe looked to be taking all his frustrations he has on Shelley and hammered him down with a big chop, then head butted him into a chair. It was Ole Kick time as Shelley was hit with it 3 times on 3 different chairs. Shelley was rolled into the ring and Joe covered but got a two.
Samoa Joe hit a flurry of punches on Shelley but out of desperation Shelley poked Joe in the eye and hit s falling super kick on Joe and covered for a one. Shelley locked in a variation on the armbar. Joe started to feel is arm a lot as Joe surprisingly could not power out of this and Joe had to crawl to the ropes to break it up. At the ropes Shelley slapped Joe on the back of his head infuriating Joe, who got up and charged at Shelley only for Joe to be taken down with a step-toe hold and then Shelley locked in a STF but Joe quickly elbowed out of it and hit a big clothesline to Shelley after he ducked a Shelley clothesline attempt.

Shelley kicked out, so Joe picked Shelley up who got slammed upside down into the turnbuckles by Samoa Joe and Joe covered for another two. Joe dragged Shelley into the corner and this time hit the big boot while Shelley was down in the corner. Joe covered but got a two. Joe set Shelley up on the top rope, and looked for a superplex. Shelley tried to fight out of it but couldn’t as Joe slapped him upside his head then hit a superplex on Shelley. Joe slowly covered and got another two count.
Joe looked like he was looking tired but his power and strength advantage over Shelley was obvious as when they locked up Shelley was easily span around and locked into the choke. Shelley desperately tried to stay on his feet and just managed to when he grabbed the ropes and delivered a lowblow to Joe when he desperately swung his leg back into Joe. Joe was stunned in the ring and Shelley ran to the ropes and hit a big boot to Joe’s face who stumbled around the ring. Then Shelley hit the ropes again and took Joe down with a crossbody

NO
Samoa Joe kicked out. Joe slowly got to his feet, but Shelley now had the advantage as he chopped away at Joe then looked to hit the Shellshock on Joe. Joe stopped him from hitting it, and annoyed Shelley charged at Joe only to be hit with a big STO.

NO
Shelley kicked out. Both men were slowly up this time as Alex Shelley ducked a standing clothesline from Samoa Joe, but got hit in the back of the head with a blind clothesline seconds later. Joe dragged Shelley to his feet and picked him up for a Muscle Buster. However Shelley thought desperately and Joe couldn’t drive down. Instead both men came tumbling down to the mat on top of ref Turner. The fans booed as they had come occasioned to no ref bumps in SWEW. Joe checked on the referee but turned round into Alex Shelley who hit the Shellshock on Samoa Joe then locked in the Border City Stretch in the middle of the ring.
Samoa Joe was screaming in agony in the ring, but with no ref to check if Joe is ok Shelley couldn’t get a victory. Joe continued screaming for around 30 seconds until Trent Acid and the Havana Pitbulls came down. They ran and attacked Shelley into the ring to break up the hold. Delirious and Super Dragon came down but were taken back to the back by the Havana Pitbulls as the two teams brawled to the back leaving just Trent Acid, Samoa Joe and Alex Shelley in the ring. Acid was stamping on Shelley while Joe got to his feet. Samoa Joe picked up Alex Shelley and held him up as Trent Acid looked to hit a Yakuza Kick on Shelley.
Acid ran up but Shelley managed to duck and Samoa Joe was caught right in the jaw by Trent Acids Yakuza Kick. Acid looked stunned but Shelley took Acid down and he hit the Shell Shock on Acid. Shelley then covered Joe as ref Turner slowly made the count

Alex Shelley has pinned Samoa Joe, after Trent Acid had hit the Yakuza Kick by accident? On Samoa Joe. Shelley left laughing as he finally has a win over Samoa Joe. Trent Acid and Joe both slowly got up in the ring. Acid and Joe with Joe blaming Acid for the loss and they started to argue but looked like they had sorted things out after they shook hands. However as Joe started to walk away, Trent Acid hit Samoa Joe with a second Yakuza Kick and quickly left the ring. The show came to an end with Samoa Joe down in the ring 24 hours before he leads his Crew into the final battle with Majestic.
Result - Alex Shelley wins
(25:46) ****1/4
POSTSHOW
Backstage Alex Shelley is smiling with Delirious and Super Dragon in the background as he hypes tomorrow nights final battle.
Alex Shelley – “What a night Joe, what a night. I said one day I would beat you, and I proved when you couldn’t get that choke hold locked on me, your nothing, a nobody and just another victim of Majestic. Tomorrow Joe it will all come to an end and the result isn’t in question. My soldiers would follow me to your death Joe, while Trent Acid left you lying in the middle of the ring. It was so easy Joe. Make up a fake rumour that someone in your group is out to get you and will join my Majestic. Now everything is in disarray for you Joe and when our 4th member reveals himself tomorrow night, we will shock the world and finally rid SWEW of you pathetic Crew, Joe and Majestic will rule SWEW forever, forever, FOREVER.”
Chris Ca$h is backstage with his SWEW Tag Team Championship belt over his shoulder as he cuts a promo on Austin Aries tomorrow night.
Chris Ca$h – “When I came to SWEW nearly one year ago, I was just a spoilt rich kid, who couldn’t catch a break. Come tomorrow night, I will have a chance to become the first SWEW double champion as I take on Austin Aries for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship tomorrow night. Me and AJ despite our problems have become the greatest tag team champions in SWEW history and tomorrow Aries, you will see why as I Chris Ca$h will beat you clean in the middle of the ring and become SWEW Heavyweight Champion.”
The show comes to an end as we quickly flash into the Crews lockeroom where we see the Havana Pitbulls trying to stop Samoa Joe tear Trent Acids head off. Trent quickly grabs his bags and leaves the room, as Joe screams Acid is a dead man.

Fly or Die
May 14th & 15th 2005
Hallom Arena, North Dakota
Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling invite you to join us for our second ever double shot this time from the Hallom Arena in North Dakota which will see major changes up and down the roster. The end of the war between the Crew and Majestic will come to the end with three huge matches signed. H-Factor will take on John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts and his young boys Wasted Talent in a ladder match where the losing group must split up. The SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries with Becky Bayless will be in the house as will SWEW Tag Team Champions Styles Ca$h. Also you will see the first ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament as over two nights eight superstars will compete to get a regular place on the SWEW roster. These eight young men will stop at nothing to get there place on the roster and the matches should be furious. In this preview we will highlight the key issues going into the show and how they will be solved:
Majestic (Alex Shelley, Delirious, Super Dragon & ?? ?? ??) vs. The Crew (Samoa Joe, Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero, & Trent Acid
It started out as an unofficial competition to see who could take there groups the furthest. The Crew lead by Samoa Joe and Majestic lead by Alex Shelley. The two groups even teamed together towards the end of 2004 at the ‘Awards Evening’. However when Samoa Joe captured the SWEW Heavyweight Championship from Alex Shelley and then successfully defended the title in a three way dance involving Jimmy Jacobs at ‘Saturday Showdown’ and ‘312 Hours Later’ respectively by applying the choke hold on Shelley to beat him, Shelley just snapped.
Shelley lodged an official complaint to the SWEW officials about Joe’s use of the hold questioning its legality. It was made official recently that Joe could use the hold but Shelley and his troops raged war on Samoa Joe and the Crew by promising to take matters into there own hands, these are the recent happens between the two factions and why it will end this weekend:
Rage in a Cage - February 19th 2005 – After Samoa Joe had retained the SWEW Heavyweight Championship over Jimmy Jacobs inside a steel cage, Majestic attacked Samoa Joe and hung him from the cage by a noose putting him in hospital close to a week. Joe never covered enough and was not at 100% when Austin Aries defeated Samoa Joe to take the SWEW Heavyweight Championship from him at ‘Rated 18’ what Joe blames Shelley for the loss.
Rated 18 – March 12th 2005 – In a six way dance Crew members Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero and Trent Acid were defeated by Majestic in full force in a six man no DQ match. The finish saw Trent Acid severely injured after Super Dragon and Delirious helped Alex Shelley powerbomb Acid onto and through 10 light tubes. Samoa Joe earlier in the night had left the building after losing his match.
Life on the Ladder – March 23rd 2005 – A end of the show brawl between Majestic and the Crew finally saw the Crew come together as one and run off Majestic as Samoa Joe and Trent Acid saved the Havana Pitbulls from further attack from Majestic including Trent Acid delivering a chair shot to Alex Shelley busting him open. In an after show promo in a deranged state Alex Shelley promised to destroy Trent Acid.
The Pepsi Challenge – April 16th 2005 – Teaming with the SWEW Tag Team Champions Styles Ca$h who wanted there own revenge on Majestic, Trent Acid was defeated by Majestic in a six man tag match. After the show Samoa Joe admitted he had taken Majestic to lightly but promised not to anymore and run them out of SWEW forever.
A Matter of Respect – April 30th 2005 – At our last show we saw both leaders defend there groups with honour as Samoa Joe defeated Super Dragon and Alex Shelley defeated Trent Acid. After Shelley had defeated Trent Acid he offered Acid a chance to turn his back on Samoa Joe and join Majestic. Before Acid could answer Samoa Joe interrupted and sent Acid to the back. Shelley and Joe jawed on the mic before the challenge for this week was made by Joe. Joe challenged Shelley to go one on one on night one and a final, six man tag no-DQ match on night two to settle the score once and for all. Shelley said no he wanted it to be a four on four match claiming he had four members to his Majestic squad and claimed the 4th man could be one of Samoa Joes own boys. Joe accepted anyway and brushed off the claims that one of his own men will be on Shelley’s team this Sunday.
The speculation in the SWEW lockeroom and offices has been immense as no one knows for sure who the forth member will be for the no-DQ match. Names been banded around are:
Matt Sydal – He has been offered a place in Majestic once before, but turned it down. Has Sydal now however been turned by Alex Shelley to join his army as he marches into the final battle.
AJ Styles – One half of the SWEW Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles has made no secret of his hatred of Crew member Trent Acid. However would this lead AJ to do the unthinkable and turn against the fans and his partner Chris Ca$h to join Majestic just to get at Trent Acid.
Trent Acid – All through the lifespan of the Crew, Trent Acid and Samoa Joe have argued. Alex Shelley did offer Trent Acid a place in Majestic and an answer was not received from Acid before Samoa Joe cut him off. If Trent Acid were to leave the Crew to join Majestic, in a 4 on 3 situation the Crew would have no chance of survival.
The Havana Pitbulls – Shelley did say the 4th member of Majestic was in Joe’s camp. However it couldn’t be Ricky Reyes or Rocky Romero who have been so loyal to Samoa Joe in SWEW?
Members of the SWEW Academy – Alex Shelley is the main trainer of the SWEW Academy and three of his graduates Alex Lovell, Gregg Bradley and Ray Stevens will be in the building for both nights of the weekend. Would Shelley use one of his own graduates in such a big match as this is?
It still could be anyone however and the names above are just pure speculation. Whoever the 4th man is, the war will end this Sunday night. However both factions will need to survive night one. As already mentioned on night one in the main event, leaders of both the Crew and Majestic will battle one on one as Alex Shelley faces Samoa Joe. In a match just signed Super Dragon and Delirious will take on the Havana Pitbulls. Whoever can win these two matches on Saturday night will have a lot of momentum going into Sunday as the final battle between these two groups will end the war. Who will join Alex Shelley and his Majestic for the match? When will we find out who it is? Who will win the war and rule SWEW? There is only one way to find out.
The ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament
Over both nights SWEW will host the first ever ‘Fly or Die’ Tournament where the winner will earn a regular place on the SWEW roster. On night one we will see four 1st round matches with the semi-finals and final taking place on night two. With eight top athletes wanting to impressive the crowd and pick up the slot we could be in for an interesting weekend:
ARSENAL – Hailing from Ontario, Arsenal has been impressive in his home country of Canada and his brief appearances in the USA earlier this year. A regular place on the roster will save on his air fair for the long trips down here and with his ‘arsenal’ of moves such as Wrist Clutch Fisherman Buster and Death Valley Driver, this young Canadian is looking to make an impact in SWEW.
Azreal – This 5’8ft 178lbs highflier is by far the smallest competitor in the ‘Fly or Die’ tournament. He is not to be underestimated however. Picking up big wins all over the US including in CZW and RoH, Azreal has a proven pedigree to surprise his opponents by his speed and impact of his moves. He knows that he is only one Somersault Stunner to picking up a win and three to securing a place on the SWEW roster.
Dan Maff – The favourite to win the contract and the most experienced of all the men in the tournament, Maff is looking to use his power and experience to guide him through the tournament especially in his first round match with young Azreal. Immensely popular on the east coast we are sure Maff will have fans in SWEW as he brings in his strong-style offence and will be looking to hit the Burning Hammer on his opponents to pick up the win.
Joey Ryan – Hailing from California and been a student of current SWEW star Spanky and uses a very similar style. Joey Ryan will be looking to hit his Rolling Choke finisher on all his opponents. Ryan will be joined in this tournament by his long time partner and friend Scott Lost and will face him in the first round.
Rainman – Rainman known as the ‘Soul Assassin’ standing at a massive 6’3ft has really upped his game the last few months and has become a major name on the East Coast. Rainman is just behind Maff as the favourite to win this thing and lots of the current SWEW roster are worried that if Rainman can get a place on the roster than they could be next to be take out by the assassin.
Roderick Strong – The self proclaimed master of the backbreaker, Roderick Strong is coming into SWEW to win matches and break backs. Strong will be hoping shear force and power will be enough to barge is way through three men to take the spot on the roster and we couldn’t find anyone to disagree with him. His first test however could be his hardest as he takes on Rainman in the first round.
Scott Lost – As with his friend and opponent for round one, Lost hails from the West Coast. Lost is slightly bigger than his partner Ryan and will be looking for his size advantage over Ryan to bring him through this match as he looks to hit Ryan with the Vertebreaker and progress to the next round.
Sexxxy Eddy – The craziest wrestler to make an impact for himself in a while, Eddy has made a name for himself by bleeding himself stupid, but that does not take away from his skills as a wrestler. Using the Total Sextasy to finish off matches his first round opponent, fellow Canadian Arsenal in the first round will have to be on top of his game if he is to survive the skills of Eddy.
With these eight men all looking to make an impact over these two nights, to get a place on the roster. We could see a new star made from the ‘Fly or Die’ tournament.
Ladder Match – Losing Faction Must Split Up
Alex Lovell, John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts and Ray Stevens vs. H-Factor (Bobby Quance, Jack Evans & Teddy Hart)
It was meant to be the final battle but at ‘A Matter of Respect’ once again John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts cheated to pick up a win over H-Factor by delivering a low-blow to Jack Evans before finishing him off with a lariat. This made it one win each in six man matches between the two teams. This time it will be the final battle as in a ladder match these two highflying squads of athletes will compete for the right to stay together on night one of the ‘Fly or Die’ weekend.
The history between the two teams can be summed up like this. John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts did not like the fact H-Factor came into SWEW just to have some fun and claimed they disrespected him. Needing some backup he adopted recent SWEW Academy graduates Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens who form the team Wasted Talent as his young boys. Lovell and Stevens were wary of Roberts at first but once they started to pick up wins they didn’t care anymore and the threesome have formed a close tight knit partnership.
Roberts has beaten each member of H-Factor individually and with help from Roberts, Wasted Talent have a win over H-Factor in tag action and they are riding a wave of momentum going into this one. However H-Factor despite been young have the talent, experience and past matches in ladder matches which the two young boys on the other side can’t. If Roberts and crew pick up the win, with his two boys behind him there could be no stopping him on the rise up the roster whereas Bobby Quance, Jack Evans and Teddy Hart as H-Factor who came into SWEW as friends would be devastated if they had to break up as a team. Both factions have reasons to stay together and both teams will do all they can to do it as in this ladder match anything will go and anything will happen.
SWEW Triple Chance Match
AJ Styles vs. Chris Ca$h vs. Trent Acid
This is a match that has been in the making ever since AJ Styles debuted as Chris Ca$h’s mystery partner way back at the ‘4th Show Spectacular’ on September 25th 2004. AJ Styles and Trent Acid have had a war of words for months and months and after several meetings in tag matches they finally went one on one at ‘312 Hours Later’ on February 6th 2005 when Trent Acid defeated AJ Styles after Chris Ca$h accidentally handed Trent Acid AJ’s tag title belt while the ref was down and Trent blasted AJ with it and beat AJ.
AJ and Trent have continued there war of words over the last few months but to AJ’s disgust the man who brought him into SWEW and his co-holder of the SWEW Tag Team Championship with him Chris Ca$h has become good friends with Trent and he has been trying to make Trent and AJ friends but to no avail and all this has led to is constant arguing between Chris Ca$h and AJ Styles.
At ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ the threesome teamed up and lost to Majestic on a night when all three wanted revenge on Majestic. The threesome bickered inside the ring afterwards and it looked like any attempt from Ca$h to unite Acid and Styles would fail. Despite all this arguing, Styles Ca$h have remained good partners as they continue there run as SWEW Tag Team Champions. However know they will meet in the ring facing each other in a match that will include Trent Acid for a SWEW Triple Chance match on night one.
AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h will both look to win this match so they can face Austin Aries on night two for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship with the other man taking on Low-Ki if they don’t win this match. If Trent Acid wins he cannot face Aries as he is in the big no DQ match so if that occurs AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h will team up to take on SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries and Low-Ki in a non-title match up.
This is a match all three men out of pride will not want to lose and with a possible shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship up for grabs it is a match that no one wants to lose but if AJ or Ca$h defeat one or other would that be the last straw between the duo as a tag team?
The Rest of the Action
Three other matches have been signed all ready for the ‘Fly or Die’ weekend. To complete night ones schedule, in a non-title grudge match Jimmy Jacobs will return to SWEW to take on Austin Aries who will be accompanied to the ring by Jacobs ex-girlfriend Austin Aries. The score between the duo is 1-1 and both men want to make it 2-1 in there favour. Aries as champion knows a loss to Jacobs would be embarrassing and is looking to make a point at ‘Fly or Die’. Jacobs will receive a SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot at Aries if he is to win, but will emotions take over as he sees Becky cheering Austin instead of him.
On night two, Spanky will take on Gregg Bradley who is still looking for his first win since graduating from the SWEW Academy and who took a vicious beating from Low-Ki on the last show will be hoping his size and strength advantage will be enough to beat Spanky. Finally in an issue that has just started to simmer, Matt Sydal will take on Jimmy Rave. Sydal who turned down a place in Majestic to find his own way to the top seems to have been blocked off by Jimmy Rave who has acted over confident in the back in recent weeks and at the last show in a SWEW Triple Chance Rave was defeated by Delirious in a match that included Sydal despite the fact Rave thought he had it in the bag. Despite shaking hands after the match Sydal requested this match so he could teach Rave a lesson and get him out of his way. Rave claims he will win this match in under 10 minutes.
With all this and more you would be a fool to miss out on the greatest weekend of wrestling in the history of the world. With tickets only $15 for each night or $25 for both on the door of the Hallom Arena, North Dakota or at www.SWEW.com you should not miss this. The card has been hyped enough so this is what is going to go down and we hope you will be there:

PRESHOW
We are backstage at the James Smith Memorial Arena and Chris Ca$h is warming up backstage for his big main event SWEW Tag Team Championship match with AJ Styles against the Havana Pitbulls when Trent Acid comes to join Ca$h.”
Trent Acid – “Hey Chris.”
Chris Ca$h – “What’s up?”
Trent Acid – “I know your facing my boys the Havana Pitbulls tonight and you have to know that I will be, behind them tonight but are we still cool aren’t we after tonight whatever happens?”
Trent Acid extends his hand to Ca$h who looks kind of surprised with what Acid said but Ca$h shakes his hand anyway.
Chris Ca$h – “Yeah we’re still cool; just don’t involve yourself in the match tonight.”
Trent Acid – “I won’t do anything to help the Pitbulls take the titles off you tonight.”
Chris Ca$h – “Thanks. Hey forget what AJ says about you. If you ever need a partner for a match or something, me and AJ will be happy to team with you again. Good luck with your match with Shelley tonight. I hope you beat that punk.”
Trent Acid – “I’ll beat him with no problems, anyway looks like your preparing for your match so catch you later man.”
Acid walks out of the room as Ca$h continues warming up as he and his partner AJ Styles as Styles Ca$h defend there SWEW Tag Team Championship against the Havana Pitbulls.
SHOW
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Delirious d. Jimmy Rave & Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze)
The show opened up with a SWEW Triple Chance match which saw three up and comers gunning for a title shot. Despite Jimmy Raves claims he would walk this match it was the unpredictable Delirious who picked up his 2nd SWEW Triple Chance. After all three men claim close to wins especially Matt Sydal who hit a fisherman brainbuster on Rave and only got two the finish showed Delirious had a killer instinct.
As Rave and Sydal battled inside the ring Sydal drove Rave to the mat with a swinging DDT he climbed to the top rope only for Delirious who had been knocked to the outside knock Sydal off the top rope and climb the ropes himself and hit the Crazy Drop on Rave and covered for the 3 count. Delirious walked to the back screaming random things while Rave and Sydal got into an argument into the ring before shaking hands and walking to the back to the fans appreciation.
Result - Delirious wins
(13:08) ***
Low-Ki d. Gregg Bradley
Low-Ki made his way to the ring after Gregg Bradley had come down previously. Bradley the monster of SWEW was still looking for his first win in a SWEW ring after yet another defeat. For 5 minutes Low-Ki just kicked and chopped Bradley as revenge for Bradley busting him open backstage at the ‘Pepsi Challenge’. After taking all this punishment Bradley just fell to the ground and Low-Ki locked in the Dragon Clutch.
Low-Ki had a deranged look in his eyes as he pulled back on Bradley who passed out. The ref rang the bell and declared him the winner. However Low-Ki refused to let go of the hold afterwards taking out all his frustrations of not getting the top matches in SWEW and Bradleys apparent disrespect of him and Low-Ki was possessed. It was only when the ring crew and other officials came down did Low-Ki break it up. Gregg Bradley a man who dwarfed Low-Ki was left lying head down in the middle of the ring after Low-Ki had just dismantled him.
Result - Low-Ki wins
(5:46) **
Samoa Joe d. Super Dragon
The tape moved on really fast with a 3rd consecutive match as the leader of the Crew Samoa Joe and Majestic member Super Dragon locked horns. This was a first time meeting in SWEW and it produced great results as for over 20 minutes the duo beat the crap out of each other. Samoa Joe thought he had the match won after he stepped out of the corner with a STO but Super Dragon kicked out and similar Joe kicked out of a Super Dragon curb stomp after he had counted a muscle buster attempt. The finish had a touch of irony about it as the move Super Dragons leader Alex Shelley had partitioned to have banned was the move Samoa Joe won this brutal match with.
With Samoa Joe looking dazed, Super Dragon signalled for the Psycho Driver but he was unable to lift Joe up who by this time was aware enough to spin Dragon around and lock in the Choke. Dragon with nowhere to go tapped out quickly to save himself from further punishment. Dragon quickly left the ring while the fans applauded Joe, with Joe chants ringing round the arena which is a far cry from the heel heat he was getting in his program with Jacobs last year.
Result - Samoa Joe wins
(20:56) ****
We flash backstage where we see Low-Ki with his bags looking really annoyed as he storms out of the James Smith Memorial Arena looking rather annoyed, we flash back to the ring where we see Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens waiting in the ring waiting for there partner and opponents for there six man tag match.
Alex Lovell, John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts & Ray Stevens d. H-Factor
It was built as the final battle but we don’t think these two groups have had the last of there wars. All out action for fifteen minutes between the two teams saw Jack Evans and Teddy Hart flying all over the arena trying to take out Roberts and his Crew. Hart hit a 450 splash on Lovell and got a two count while Roberts looked in a STF on Quance but was unable to force Quance to tap who reversed the STF into a pin and got a two count. The controversial finish came when Quance hit a shooting star press to the outside he took out Hart, Stevens and Lovell on the outside leaving Evans and Roberts in the ring.
The duo traded blows as referee Paul Turner checked on the four men on the outside, Roberts noted this and gave Evans a thumb to his eye then gave him the hardest kick to the groin you will ever see. Roberts winded up and hammered Evans with a lariat that turned him inside out and Evans landed on the back of his neck. Roberts covered and shouted Turner to make the pin, Turner covered and Roberts had stolen this victory over H-Factor. Roberts picked up Lovell and Stevens on the outside and went to the back laughing as barley concuss Evans told Quance and Hart what had just happened.
Result - John 'OK' Earl Roberts, Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens win
(15:06) ***
Alex Shelley d. Trent Acid
Alex Shelley came down to the ring without Super Dragon or Delirious as he prepared to take on Trent Acid for the second time in SWEW knowing he had to pick up a win as leader of Majestic as Samoa Joe had picked up a win earlier in the night. Shelley jumped Acid during is entrance to the ring as Acid mingled with the fans and the duo brawled on the outside as the match started.
When they eventually got into the ring the match was kept at a slow pace as Shelley tried to keep Acid grounded with some unique hold but Acid impressed the over 1700 crowd by showing off his wrestling skills and taking Shelley to the mat including locking in a painful looking single leg crab variation but Shelley managed to get to the ropes. Acid started to tire 10 minutes or so into the match and Shelley took advantage of this to great effect.
Shelley hammered Acid with several hard shots to the shoulder area before attempting to lock in the Border City Stretch. Acid fought out of it and shoved Shelley to the mat and signalled for the Yakuza Kick. Acid ran and aimed for the kick but Shelley ducked and Acids leg got hung over the rope. Shelley brought Acid to the mat with the Shellshock while Shelley was on the ropes after pulling Acid up. That would have gotten the pin the Shelley locked in the Border City Stretch anyway and made Acid tap out for the win.
Result - Alex Shelley wins
(14:59) ***3/4
As Acid slowly gets up in the ring holding his arm in agony Alex Shelley picks up a mic and starts to talk.
Alex Shelley – “Trent Acid, I have to say just then you impressed me. You matched me with every wrestling move I hit on you but the fact of the matter is you couldn’t get the job done.”
The crowd boos as Acid looks at the crowd to try and get some sympathy.
Alex Shelley – “Do you want to know why you couldn’t do it. It’s Samoa Joes fault Trent, it’s all Joes fault. He holds you down Trent, he holds the Havana Pitbulls down he just uses you to support his fat ass so he can be anywhere near the top of SWEW. He has sacrificed you many times Trent. It wasn’t our fault we powerbombed you through 10 light tubes. It was Samoa Joe who sent his Crew into battle and he wasn’t even there when it really mattered. The whole point of this tirade Trent is I can feel the war between Majestic and the Crew is over and I’m giving you a chance to switch teams, before it comes to your bloody conclusion. So Trent Acid if you want to switch teams and join my Majestic all you have to do is get up on your feet and shake my hand.”
Trent Acid slowly gets up as Alex Shelley extends his hand to Trent Acid, Acid stares at Shelley for around twenty seconds considering what to do, he extends his hand but pulls it back to think again when suddenly Samoa Joes music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Alex Shelley backs up into a corner as Joe grabs a mic and starts talking.
Samoa Joe – “Leave the ring Trent, leave the ring.”
Acid kind of looks annoyed at Joe but Joe eyeballs him and Trent quickly leaves as Samoa Joe now turns to Shelley.
Alex Shelley – “Wow, you really are the BIG man Joe.”
Samoa Joe – “Shut the fuck up Shelley.”
The crowd applaud widely at this and repeats what Joe says several times
Samoa Joe – “The ‘Fly or Die’ weekend is coming up Shelley and our war will end then as I’m sick and tired of you sticking your nose in my business. On night one Shelley I am challenging you to a one on one match and if I haven’t destroyed you then on night two it will Majestic vs. The Crew in a no-DQ match as there will be a winner to this war and to be fair as we have four members Shelley, If you accept this challenge I’ll let you choose which one my boys you drop from the team.”
Alex Shelley – “Whoa, whoa, whoa, who says we have only three members? I accept Joe but only if all four of you chumps turn up as we will have four men on the Majestic side waiting to beat you all over the ring and when it is all said and done the Crew will be no more and Majestic will rule SWEW and you will bow to me Samoa Joe as I lie over your broken body as Alex Shelley once again becomes number one in SWEW.”
Samoa Joe – “Bring any chump in the back you want Shelley; the Crew will crush anyone who stands in our way.”
Alex Shelley – “Maybe instead of looking in the back for our 4th man why don’t you look in your own camp.”
Samoa Joe – “What’s that meant to mean?”
Alex Shelley just sniggers and throws his mic at Joe then leaves the ring quickly to get away from Joe. The crowd were hugely into that and with two huge main event matches for the ‘Fly or Die’ weekend but the one question that has to be answered is who is the 4th man in Alex Shelley’s team?
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) d. Spanky
This was the match Spanky had worked for nearly a whole year, a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship and against his fiercest rival in SWEW Austin Aries. Unfortunately for Spanky all this match showed was why Austin Aries in the most talented youngster in all US wrestling and perhaps the greatest SWEW Heavyweight Champion of the first year of its existence.
Spanky looked confident in the early going as Aries and Spanky wrestled on the mat for the first five minutes with Spanky frustrating Aries on the mat. Aries adapted to this however and started to come into the match more and when he counted a hip lock by throwing Spanky to the outside he managed to hit a big diving tope onto Spanky and take advantage of the match.
Becky cheered Aries all match to the crowds dislike as a clear face vs. heel match had begun. The crowd desperately begged Spanky to get on the offence as Aries took apart Spanky with big powerful moves, strikes and submissions. Spanky was out on his feet but knowing he had been taking punishment for a long time now out of nowhere he hit a step-up enziguri on Aries.
Both men slowly got up but Spanky grabbed Aries head and went for the Sliced Bread #2 on Austin Aries but Aries stepped back and in a hart in your mouth moment, Spanky crashed head first onto the turnbuckle and collapsed in a heap on the floor. Aries smirked and dragged Spanky into position and climbed the top rope and hit the 450 splash and that was enough for Aries to make his 4th title defence. Ring officials quickly ran down to help Spanky as Aries left with Becky on his arm, the title round his waist and his ego boosted after laying waste to someone who desperately hated him and wanted his title.
Result - Austin Aries wins
(18:07) ****1/4
SWEW Owner Don Callis came out to also check on Spanky and after a minute talking with doctors picked up a mic.
Don Callis – “After talking to the doctor, he has said Spanky will be fine and there is no need to worry.

SWEW Tag Team Championship
Styles Ca$h© vs. The Havana Pitbulls
The Havana Pitbulls made there way to the ring with a smattering of boos and waited for the champions. Despite there problems AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h came to the ring together and are the clear fan favourites as Ca$h gives out his $1 dollar bills to the crowd. In the ring the introductions are made and the two teams go face to face. With the score one all between the two teams in this third and potential final meeting both teams know they will have to go all out to become or remain champions.
AJ Styles and Ricky Reyes started us off and they went straight to a test of strength. AJ won and Reyes got taken over with an arm drag. AJ locked in a chin lock close to his corner and Ca$h tagged himself in and leaped over the ropes with an elbow on Reyes and covered for an early one count. AJ Styles was tagged back in and locked in an arm bar on Reyes and kept him on the mat. Romero came in to break it up and Ca$h showed some heel tendency’s be surprisingly coming in the ring behind the refs back and stomping on Reyes. The ref turned round and argued with Ca$h allowing Romero to come in and knock AJ Styles down and pull Reyes to his corner. The ref turned round and saw Reyes and Romero make the tag and Romero went to work on AJ.
Romero brought AJ Styles down to the mat with a fireman’s carry type move. Romero snap suplexed AJ Styles over, and floated over into a chin lock. AJ got to the ropes so Reyes was tagged in and the Havana Pitbulls floored AJ Styles with a double hip toss and Reyes dropped with a big head butt and covered for a two count. Reyes picked AJ Styles up and chopped at him, but AJ fought back and Reyes slumped to the mat. AJ tagged Ca$h in and they hit a double dropkick on Reyes to send him to the outside, Romero came in and he was given the same treatment and fell to the outside. AJ and Ca$h looked like they were setting something up and they were as Ca$h hit the ropes and spring boarded off AJ to take out both Pitbulls with a crazy plancha to the crowds approval.
Styles joined everyone on the outside and nailed Reyes with a right hand before sending him crashing into the guard railing. Ca$h slowly up rolled Romero into the ring and AJ Styles hit his springboard 450 on Romero

Romero just kicked out. AJ tagged out and Ca$h climbed to the top rope and went for an elbow drop but Romero moved out of the way and Ca$h had done busted his arm. Three stiff kicks from Romero sent Ca$h down and Romero locked in a modified arm bar onto Ca$h. Ca$h screamed in agony but was close enough to get to the ropes to break up the fall. Rocky Romero rocked Ca$h with a Tornado DDT off the ropes and covered for a two. Romero tagged in Ricky Reyes who belly to belly suplexed Ca$h onto Romero’s knee.

Somehow Ca$h had kicked out. Reyes looked frustrated as Romero was tagged in as they set up for the high knee. Romero climbed to the top rope as Reyes held Ca$h in position. Romero launched off the top rope but Ca$h managed to rolled through and Romero crushed the back of Reyes neck with a knee drop. Reyes rolled out of the ring in agony as Romero looked to strike Ca$h. Romero swung for a lariat but Ca$h ducked and with his last bit of energy hit a super kick on Romero and fell on top of him.

Romero broke up the pin. Romero picked AJ up and drove him to the mat with a powerbomb. He picked Reyes up and signalled him to grab AJ. They set up for the high knee again but once again they were foiled as out of nowhere Chris Ca$h came and dropkicked Romero to the outside off the top rope. AJ fought out of Reyes hold and Ca$h spring boarded into the ring dropkicking Reyes in the back of the head and into AJ Styles path. AJ hit the Styles Clash on Reyes

Styles Ca$h had retained the SWEW Tag Team Championship in a great match beating the Havana Pitbulls for a second time. The champs celebrated together and even hugged as Romero crawled back into the ring. Both teams shook hands and got a standing ovation until out of nowhere Alex Shelley, Delirious and Super Dragon flew down the aisle with steel chairs in hands. AJ Styles, Chris Ca$h and Ricky Reyes were all on the end of chair shots and were rolled out of the ring leaving Rocky Romero at the pray of Majestic in the middle of the ring.
Alex Shelley directing traffic hammered Rocky Romero with a chair shot right into his head, and looked set to hit a second until Samoa Joe and Trent Acid came down to save there fellow Crew member. Majestic scrambled out of the ring and the show came to an end with Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe shouting at each other.
Result - Styles Ca$h win
(21:04) ***3/4
POSTSHOW
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts, Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens are talking backstage, hyping the final ladder match with H-Factor at the ‘Fly or Die’ weekend.
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “I told you boys, I told you we would win the big match and rid SWEW of H-Factor for good.”
Alex Lovell – “Yeah we won tonight, but Callis said we have to beat them in a ladder match at ‘Fly or Die’.”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “It won’t be a problem, those little punks have been turning up at every show and we have been knocking them back down.”
Ray Stevens – “You do have a point; we are on a roll at the moment.”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “I told you two, stay with me and everything will be ok, after ‘Fly or Die’ when we rid SWEW of H-Factor we will then go after the championships that SWEW has to offer and bring them back home to the islands.”
AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h the SWEW Tag Team Champions are seen coming out of Don Callis office. Despite looking like the perfect team in the match we see AJ Styles just storm into the next room while Ca$h looks confused at what has happened as a back stage official just stairs at Ca$h.
Chris Ca$h – “What’s your problem?”
Official – “Nothing, whys AJ pissed off?”
Chris Ca$h – “Callis just told us our match for night one of the ‘Fly or Die’ weekend.”
Official – “What did he say?”
Chris Ca$h – “He’s put us in a SWEW Triple Chance match with Trent Acid as the third man.”
Official – “Whys he so pissed, I thought he would want to have a chance at becoming a double champion.”
Chris Ca$h – “He just hates been anywhere near Trent, and I told him to stop been a bitch and we started arguing again and he just walked out, that ungrateful son of a bitch.”
Official – “Anyway see you in North Dakota and congrats on retaining the titles tonight.”
Chris Ca$h – “Later.”
Chris Ca$h walks out of the room grabs his bags from the floor and walks out.
Austin Aries has a big smile on his face as Becky stands beside him as he starts cutting a promo on Jimmy Jacobs, his opponent for night one at ‘Fly or Die’.
Austin Aries – “I told you Spanky, I told you I would beat you. I left you lying in the middle of the ring and you had to be carried to the back on a stretcher. I think that is warning enough to anyone who gets in my face and tries to take my title. You won’t do it so just don’t bother. Now onto Jimmy Jacobs, I took your girl from you Jimmy and you’re not getting another shot at my title but it looks like I’m going to have to take you on again Jimmy. Lets just get this straight Jacobs, you’re a nobody, just someone who got lucky on the first night of the show and captured the title and clung on for it for dear life. Ever since you lost it, your career has been on a freefall, you lost your girl and you’re not getting her back.”
Becky Bayless – “Austin’s right Jimmy, without that championship you’re a nothing. That’s why I left you Jimmy, I needed to be with a real man, and I needed to be with a champion.”
Austin Aries – “HAHAHAHA, at ‘Fly or Die’ Jimmy I will personally ensure your career finally hits rock bottom when I hammer the final nail in your coffin as they take you out on a stretcher, just like Spanky did tonight.”
We are backstage in the Crews lockeroom; Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero and Trent Acid are all standing behind Samoa Joe as he starts talking.
Samoa Joe – “The final battle is coming Shelley, the war is going to end. At ‘Fly or Die’ the Crew will decimate your Majestic and run you out of SWEW forever. On night one Shelley I will beat you all over the ring and if you can still walk on night two with my boys behind me, in a no-DQ match we will beat you down so much that you will never come back to SWEW again. Your know your losing this battle Shelley, you start rumours that one of my boys are going to defect to Majestic because you can’t find another chump willing to take a beating on your behalf. Let me guarantee this to you Shelley that Ricky, Rocky and Trent are firmly behind me and on the battlefield they will be on the side of the Crew as I lead them to victory over you and your masked freaks Shelley. The end is coming Alex and it will end with your blood on my hands as the Crew become number one in SWEW once again.”

A Matter Of Respect
April 30th 2005
James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota
Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling makes its return to South Dakota in what could be one of the most chaotic nights in our near one year history. Both the SWEW Heavyweight Championship and SWEW Tag Team Championship will be on the line as Austin Aries defends against long term rival Spanky and Styles Ca$h defend against the Havana Pitbulls respectively. The war between the Crew and Majestic takes another level as Alex Shelley takes on Trent Acid and Samoa Joe looks to take down Super Dragon. Will the two leaders be able to defeat the other groups henchmen? There is only two ways to find out, just go to www.SWEW.com pay $15 or go to the James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota and pay $15 for the next exiting episode of SWEW.
SWEW Tag Team Championship
Styles Ca$h© vs. The Havana Pitbulls
The third meeting between the two most successful tag teams in SWEW history has been given the main event slot as AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h look to make there 5th title defence against the team they beat in January at ‘Mayhem in Minnesota – Night 2’ to capture the SWEW Tag Team Championship, the Havana Pitbulls. Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes can claim a victory over Styles Ca$h as last September in the tag team title tournament at ‘Jacobs vs. Joe II’ they beat them in the semi-finals before going on to winning the SWEW Tag Team Championship in the finals. So with it been (1-1) between the two teams what will the 3rd match result in?
Tensions between the two champions have been high recently. With constant arguing between Chris and AJ with Trent Acids apparent influence over Chris Ca$h, a man AJ can not stand has driven the wedge between the two further. However when it has come to game time, they have always been ready to compete together and they have won a lot of matches against top teams, including the big ladder match which included the Havana Pitbulls at ‘Life on a Ladder’ where no one gave them a chance of coming out with the titles. After a little blip the Havana Pitbulls are now there usual strong self after a big win over Jimmy Jacobs and Low-Ki at the last show. Now can the Havana Pitbulls continue this and become two time SWEW Tag Team Champions? There is only one way to find out.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) vs. Spanky
For nearly ten months now Spanky in SWEW has been trying and trying to get a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship and failing at every attempt. This was until ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ when Spanky earned a SWEW Triple Chance by pinning Matt Sydal thus setting up the match he wanted, Austin Aries for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Spanky has finally ‘snapped’ in SWEW as he has let his anger that he holds towards Aries get the better of him recently and it is this hatred that Spanky hopes will drive him towards his ultimate goal, the SWEW Heavyweight Championship.
Spankys hatred for Aries has built up over several months; the problems began when in early January Aries picked Spanky as the man he had to beat to get to the top of SWEW after having a frustrating end to 2004. When Spanky defeated Austin Aries at ‘Mayhem in Minnesota - Night 2’ in there only other singles meeting. Aries snapped after the match and hospitalized Spanky by throwing him threw a table. This put Spanky out for a few shows and Aries took Spankys places in matches he was booked for winning a SWEW Triple Chance Match and then going on to capture the SWEW Heavyweight Championship at ‘Rated 18’ in March.
In between that time in a dream partner match CM Punk and Austin Aries beat Low-Ki and Spanky with Aries getting the pin over Spanky at ‘312 Hours Later’. Since then the two have jawed over the mic at each other with Aries claiming Spanky has to earn a shot. Spanky has now earned that shot of the title and Aries coming off a huge win over CM Punk at ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ (which came about in the aftermath of the dream partner match) knows he will have a lot on his hands if he is to remain SWEW Heavyweight Champion after ‘A Matter of Respect’. Spanky knows this is his big chance and will be looking to show Aries that he should be respected and looking to show everyone else that after April 30th he will be champion.
Majestic vs. The Crew I
Alex Shelley vs. Trent Acid
The leaders of both Majestic and the Crew go into singles matches with each others henchmen knowing a loss would not only be embarrassing, but a huge dent in both there plans to rule SWEW. This is a second time meeting in SWEW between Shelley and Acid where the first at ‘Rage in a Cage’ in February saw Shelley pick up the win over Acid. In more recent times Shelley is looking for revenge over Acid as at ‘Life on the Ladder’ in March, the post match brawl after the ladder match saw Trent Acid bust Shelley open with a steel chair shot leaving Shelley concussed. Later that night Shelley cut a vicious promo on Trent Acid after the show promising revenge.
At ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ we saw Shelley gain a bit of revenge over Acid as he along with fellow Majestic members Super Dragon and Delirious defeat Trent Acid who teamed with Styles Ca$h in a six man tag match. Shelley however wants his revenge in a singles match and this is his opportunity to do so. Alex Shelley has been telling close friends he feels that soon will be the time that his Majestic engulfs the Crew but losing to Trent Acid would dent those plans severely. Once again the SWEW officials have warned all SWEW wrestlers to be on there guard as Majestic are once again looking to ruin the show for someone as Samoa Joe can still use his choke hold in all SWEW matches much to Shelleys dismay.
Majestic vs. The Crew II
Samoa Joe vs. Super Dragon
As with Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe knows a loss to one of Shelleys lackeys would make it really hard for the Crew to prove themselves as number one in SWEW. Samoa Joe also thinks like Shelley that the war between Majestic and the Crew is to come at the head and he wants to be on a big winning streak going into the final battle starting now. In his way however in this first time meeting in SWEW as Super Dragon a man who has beaten just about everyone in SWEW and the head-stomping, head-dropping psychopathic masked man is not going to let Samoa Joe walk all over him and will be looking to take Joe out for his leader Alex Shelley in what promises to possibly the hardest hitting match in SWEW history.
Six Man Tag Warfare
Alex Lovell, Ray Stevens & John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts vs. H-Factor
The H-Factor finally snapped at ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ after John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts and his young boys Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens cheated in two matches which saw two losses for H-Factor on the night. After John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts helped Lovell and Stevens beat Quance and Hart in a tag team match the threesome attacked Quance in the ring, and it was only when fellow H-Factor member Jack Evans made the save that Roberts and his boys left the ring.
After that in a foul mouthed tirade, Teddy Hart said he was sick at Roberts getting in there business and challenged them for this six man tag match. Hart then launched himself over the top rope taking out Earl Roberts and officials had to separate the duo as this seemingly pointless issue is getting very serious. It all stems from John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts thoughts that like the people who came to his islands for holidays, H-Factor doesn’t respect him. H-Factor claim to just want to inject some fun into SWEW but Roberts didn’t see it like that and has nibbled away at H-Factor all year and H-Factor now know this has to stop unless they want to be run out of SWEW.
This is the second six man tag match between these six men as H-Factor picked up a win at ‘Rage in a Cage’ in February. It is now a different proposition as Earl Roberts has looked in great form, showing a great use on the strong-style while the young Wasted Talent team have now picked up some victories in SWEW and all three men won’t want this to stop. This promises to be a real brawl, but expect both teams to take to the air as all six men are willing to risk there lives for the cause.
New vs. Old School
Gregg Bradley vs. Low-Ki
On the home release for ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ in the back we saw SWEW officials try to get Gregg Bradley out of the building as once again in a bad mood after losing to Jimmy Rave earlier in the night, Gregg Bradley started to cause trouble in the back and somehow Low-Ki got involved in this. Low-Ki tried to calm Bradley down, but Gregg just smashed Low-Ki in his nose busting him open. Low-Ki had to be restrained as he wanted Bradley there and then. Low-Ki phoned SWEW owner Don Callis and demanded this match with Bradley. Low-Ki is looking for revenge but this is a huge opportunity for Gregg Bradley as in his third match outside the SWEW Academy he gets to go one on one with someone who is now one of the biggest stars in Japan Low-Ki. Bradley will have to use his size and strength advantage if he is going to come away with anything after this one.
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Delirious vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Matt Sydal
The SWEW Triple Chance match returns to SWEW with three stars looking to get a title shot. Delirious who has won a Triple Chance in the past (as has Jimmy Rave) will be looking to win a title shot at the SWEW Tag Team Championship along with fellow Majestic member Super Dragon. In his way however is Jimmy Rave a man who has been in this position before and won. Defeating the monster Gregg Bradley on the last show as given Rave a lot of confidence coming in to this one, and as Matt Sydal found out maybe a little too much confidence. We saw Sydal and Rave at ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ have a little conversation which saw Jimmy Rave claiming he would win the match no problem. Matt Sydal however doesn’t think that will happen and after coming close to winning a SWEW Triple Chance match at ‘The Pepsi Challenge’, Don Callis put him immediately in another one as Sydal looks to earn his first SWEW Heavyweight Championship shot. This should be a good one as three of the best light-heavyweights in the US Indy scene look to pick up a big win.
With this huge show you would be a fool to miss out for only $15. Austin Aries will defend his SWEW Heavyweight Championship against long term rival Spanky as they finally meet one on one once again. In our main event the Havana Pitbulls look to recapture the SWEW Tag Team Championship from Styles Ca$h. H-Factor looks to get some revenge on John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts and his young boys Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens in a six man tag warfare match while the feud between Majestic and the Crew reaches academic proportions as Alex Shelley takes on Trent Acid and Samoa Joe takes on Super Dragon. For only $15 you would be crazy to miss this show. Tickets can be bought on the door of the James Smith Memorial Arena, South Dakota or from www.SWEW.com as SWEW look to show you that on April 30th it will be ‘A Matter of Respect’.

SHOW
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts d. Jack Evans
There was no time for any preshow antics as we go straight to ringside to kick off ‘The Pepsi Challenge’ in front of over 3000 Nebraskan fans at the Reading National Guard Armoury. Jack Evans was first out to ‘Eminem – As The World Turns’ to a nice pop as he looked to stop John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts constant destruction of H-Factor in singles matches. As Earl Roberts came down he immediately picked up a mic but from out of nowhere Jack Evans hit a 450 senton onto Earl Roberts off the top rope to the outside to kick off the Nebraska show. Evans and Roberts brawled on the outside but Roberts was able to finally get in the ring when he whipped Evans hard into the guardrail.
Back in the ring Roberts kicked and threw Evans round the ring as hard as he could, but he couldn’t get a pinfall even after hitting a hard swinging neck breaker. Roberts had, had enough and picked Evans up and went for an attempted Jamaican Driver but Evans reversed it into a reverse hurricanarana and covered for a two. Roberts was dazed and wandered round the ring looking lost. Evans hit the ropes but Roberts had been playing posom and hit Evans with a hard lariat which turned him inside out and Roberts covered for the pin. Roberts laughed at Evans before leaving the ring to boos after an exiting opening match which saw John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts get the pinfall over Jack Evans the one member of H-Factor he had not beaten yet.
Result - John 'OK' Earl Roberts wins
(10:56) **3/4
Jimmy Rave d. Gregg Bradley
From challenging for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship to facing a SWEW Academy Graduate in the space on one show, the question was could Rave raise his game to a level high enough to take down Gregg Bradley. The answer was a big yes as just like in his debut match with Jimmy Jacobs at ‘Life on the Ladder’ Bradley was impressive with his high power and high impact attack on Rave in the early going, however just like at ‘Life on the Ladder’ Bradley began to tire early on and Rave was able to take him apart working on the arm of Bradley after shaking off the affects of a big spinning powerbomb and wrestle Bradley to the ground. After a few minutes of work on Bradleys arm, Rave was able to hit a big shinning wizard to Bradley whom was unable to block it with his injured arm and Rave covered for a good win after losing in his championship match at the last show.
Result - Jimmy Rave wins
(7:03) *3/4
Backstage John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts is getting changed back into his street gear after his win over Jack Evans in the opening match when Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens come into his room.
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “My two favourite boys, how you doing? Did you just see me beat that punk Jack Evans? Hit him with the hardest lariat ever and he went down.”
Ray Stevens – “He went down alright.”
Alex Lovell – “BANG.”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “Lets not get to cocky now, you have a big tag match with Teddy Hart and Bobby Quance later tonight, I know your feeling nervous about it, but I can’t be in your corner tonight.”
Alex Lovell – “How come?”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “I have a date.”
Alex Lovell – “A date?”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “Yes with the finest women I have ever seen outside the Caribbean, and I don’t want to mess this up.”
Ray Stevens – “What about us?”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts – “You will be fine, just remember to do the things I told you and we will drive H-Factor out of SWEW tonight, anyway got to go now.”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts leaves his lockeroom leaving Lovell and Stevens by themselves looking slightly worried.
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Spanky d. Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze) & Samoa Joe
For nearly 20 minutes three men battled for one goal which was a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries. In the early going Spanky and Sydal teamed up to keep the much bigger and powerful Samoa Joe at bay including Samoa Joe taking a Sliced Bread #2 from Spanky who launched off Sydal. Spanky wasn’t able to cover as Sydal broke up the cover at two. Other close falls included Sydal hitting Spanky with a hard discus lariat after the duo had exchanged chops and covered for two. Samoa Joe hit a big step out STO on Spanky which also got a two and the leader of the Crew nearly got a tap put from Spanky after Sydal had been dumped to the floor Joe hit his powerbomb into a STF but Spanky managed to crawl to the ropes.
The finish came as Sydal and Spanky were once again trading blows in the ring. Samoa Joe tired to sneak up on them but was suddenly caught by a double super kick from both men sending Joe down to the mat. Spanky stumbled and Sydal threw him to the outside. Sydal climbed up the ropes and had Samoa Joe in his sights. He leapt off the ropes with a Shooting Star Press but crashed onto the mat hard as Spanky had pulled Samoa Joe out of the way. Sydal was slowly up and too slow to stop Spanky hitting the Sliced Bread #2 on him. Spanky covered Sydal and Joe wasn’t quick enough to break the count and Spanky had finally earned a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Samoa Joe just left the ring after a disappointing outing while Sydal congratulated Spanky before he left with Daizee.
Result - Spanky wins
(17:33) ***3/4
Wasted Talent d. H-Factor of Bobby Quance & Teddy Hart
Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens were looking for there 2nd win in SWEW after beating the SAT against Bobby Quance and Teddy Hart. Wasted Talent were able to do it but in very dubious circumstances. Wasted Talent are looking more and more like huge stars in this business with Stevens showing lots of flashy flips while with Lovell keeping things more mat based the two SWEW Academy Graduates look very good as a team. Back to the match it was a very even affair with both teams coming close to picking up the pinfall.
However when Teddy Hart and Alex Lovell were having it out on the outside through the crowd came John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts who we thought left the building (although the live crowd didn’t know that) and as the ref couldn’t see this Earl Roberts delivered a big yakuza kick to Teddy Hart who went down in a heap on the floor. Bobby Quance who looked to have the advantage over Ray Stevens in the ring had climbed to the top rope but did not see Alex Lovell who pushed him off the top rope and he crashed to the mat and Ray Stevens climbed to the top rope and hit a big frog splash on Quance and covered for the 3 count.
After the match, in the ring Alex Lovell, Ray Stevens and John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts started to lay boots into Bobby Quance in the middle of the ring. Teddy Hart tried to get back into the ring but got dumped to the outside by the threesome. It looked hopeless for Quance until fellow H-Factor member Jack Evans ran down the aisle and came off the ropes with a twisting 450 taking down all three men. Teddy Hart was able to get back into the ring and Lovell, Stevens and Earl Roberts fled.
Result - Wasted Talent win
(12:08) ***
Teddy Hart who looks very pissed grabs a mic from a ring announcer as Jack Evans looks to help Bobby Quance up. Teddy Hart points at Earl Roberts, Lovell and Stevens who are laughing at ringside and begins to talk:
Teddy Hart – “You say we have no respect? Do you know who I am? I’m Teddy fucking Hart and I’m sick of you three clowns sticking your nose in our business. In South Dakota on April 30th I challenge you three to take on us three one more time.”
John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts shouts out ‘it’s on’.
Teddy Hart – “You damn right it’s fucking on.”
Teddy Hart drops the mic then springboards over the top rope and lands right on top of Earl Roberts with a plancha. The duo brawl on the floor as Wasted Talent and other ring officials try to pull them apart and they finally do. Things are getting very heated between the six men at the moment.
The Havana Pitbulls d. Jimmy Jacobs & Low-Ki
In a great match former SWEW Tag Team Champions the Havana Pitbulls scored a big victory over the team of Jimmy Jacobs and Low-Ki and finally secured a title match against Styles Ca$h on April 30th in doing so. It was a straight up wrestling match that saw after some early offence from Jimmy Jacobs, the Havana Pitbulls just destroyed Jacobs for the best part of ten minutes putting him in all kind of sick submission holds. Of course Low-Ki managed to make the hot tag and looked like he would pick up the win for his team when he locked in the Dragon Clutch on Ricky Reyes but Romero hit a hard lariat on Ki to break it up. The finish came when Jacobs now back in the ring tried to hit a Suicide Solution on Romero but the former SWEW Heavyweight Champion was far to injured to hit the move and Romero threw him down to the mat and locked in a unique arm bar on Jacobs which was enough to make Jacobs tap out. Jacobs and Low-Ki looked dejected in the ring as the Crew members will look to become two time SWEW Tag Team Champions on April 30th.
Result - The Havana Pitbulls win
(15:09) ***1/2
Out to the ring before there match with Styles Ca$h and Trent Acid comes Majestic to there remix of Audioslaves – ‘Like a Stone’. Alex Shelley leads his troops into the ring and picks up a mic as Delirious and Super Dragon guard the ring for him. As Shelley starts talking he reveals a sheet of paper in his hand
Alex Shelley – “Once again Majestic are about to battle in a six man tag match and once again Majestic are going to win a six man tag match. In the history of wrestling there has been no other stable as together as Majestic. When I lead Delirious and Super Dragon into battle, they are willing to die for me because I AM A GOD and no one in SWEW can stop us. That brings us to ‘the list’ the list reads out like this, Samoa Joe, Trent Acid, Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero, AJ Styles, Chris Ca$h, Matt Sydal. If you want to sick your nose in our business we will destroy you. Just ask Samoa Joe who we hung off a steel cage, ask Trent Acid who we powerbombed threw 10 light tubes, ask Matt Sydal who was decimated inside the ring, ask Chris Ca$h who we delivered several brutal chair shots to after the greatest moment in his career. Our mission is clear, we are going to run the Crew out of SWEW, we are going to take all the titles and eliminate everyone who gets in our way. Trent Acid, AJ Styles, Chris Ca$h you will die tonight in this ring as Majestic continue to run SWEW. ”
Majestic d. AJ Styles, Chris Ca$h & Trent Acid
With Majestic waiting in the ring, the SWEW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h make there way down to the ring and get straight into the faces of Majestic but ref Sean Hanson separates them. Trent Acid was out last without any members of the Crew as part of the deal for Majestic not ruining the show for anyone. Trent Acid annoyed everyone including one of his partners AJ Styles by taking an age to get into the ring doing his usual fan introduction bit. When Acid got into the ring he and AJ clashed but Chris Ca$h broke them up only for Majestic to cheap shot them as the match started.
For over twenty minutes the two teams beat the hell out of each other. In the early going it looked like Trent Acid had broken his arm when Super Dragon landed a big double stomp on his right arm from the top rope but Acid got over it minutes later and seemed ok. Chris Ca$h and AJ Styles teamed up to good affect as AJ launched Ca$h over the top rope taking out Alex Shelley on the outside who had just dumped Trent Acid to the floor with a DDT.
Majestic finally got advantage half way through the match as they keep Chris Ca$h away from his partners and came close to defeating him on several occasions. When Delirious hit the Crazy Drop from the top rope it looked over but Trent Acid came in to break the cover. When Super Dragon delivered a Dragon Suplex on Ca$h it looked a formality but somehow Ca$h kicked out. Of course the hot tag was made when Ca$h ducked a Super Dragon lariat and flew across the ring with a crossbody. Ca$h rolled towards his partners and reached out to AJ Styles but Trent Acid tagged himself in
Trent Acid hit the ring and down went Shelley, down went Dragon and down went Delirious. It became a peer six brawl as the ref lost all control of the match as AJ Styles entered the ring. AJ measured up Delirious with a discus lariat and hit it and covered for a certain 3 until Super Dragon broke up the count. The finish came as Trent Acid measured up Alex Shelley for the Yakuza Kick but AJ Styles inadvertently whipped Delirious into Acid knocking both men out of the ring. Super Dragon delivered a Psycho Driver to Chris Ca$h and covered but AJ Styles broke up the cover only to be dumped out of the ring by Alex Shelley. Shelley then locked in the Border City Stretch on Chris Ca$h who had nowhere to go and he tapped out giving Majestic the win.
Alex Shelley was laughing as he let go of Chris Ca$h and then left the ring with Delirious and Super Dragon as surprisingly they keep the promise of not ruining the show for anyone and left peacefully. Trent Acid got back into the ring first and helped Chris Ca$h up, AJ Styles got into the ring and pushed Acid away and the duo once again started to argue. Chris Ca$h got up and pushed AJ Styles down to the mat. AJ was then arguing with both Ca$h and Acid as ring officials and Don Callis came down to split them up.
Result – Majestic win
(20:47) ****
Trent Acid and AJ Styles keep trying to get to each other as they are held back, Don Callis is on the mic now as calm seems to have been restored somewhat
Don Callis – “Stop it, stop it now, I know your annoyed with your loss but this isn’t professional behaviour. I know you two want to fight each other but not yet and certainly not at the next show in South Dakota on April 30th. We all saw the Havana Pitbulls win earlier tonight, they have been non stop since they lost the titles to you in January and they are finally going to get the rematch as you Styles Ca$h will defend your titles against the Havana Pitbulls.”
AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h seem ok with that and Acid applauds that decision as his fellow Crew members finally get there SWEW Tag Team Championship rematch. AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h shakes Callis hand and leave the ring leaving Trent Acid and Don Callis in there as the ring officials also leave
Don Callis – “Now onto you Mr. Acid, I have something for you and Samoa Joe. Majestic want the Crew, the Crew want Majestic it’s all I’ve been hearing from the fans and the boys in the back so on April 30th there is going to be two grudge matches. Samoa Joe will take on Super Dragon and you Trent Acid will take on Alex Shelley.”
Trent Acid looks real happy with that as he leaves the ring and goes to the back.
Don Callis – “As owner of SWEW I would like all 3000 fans here for making our Nebraska debut a great one and there is still more left as Austin Aries will defend his SWEW Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk in our main event. Once again thank you for coming and we hope you can come back again.”
Don Callis leaves the ring and we quickly flash back stage where once again Gregg Bradley is throwing things around. The big man was shoving backstage staff and some wrestlers around when he walks into Low-Ki. Low-Ki tells him to stop but Bradley hammers Low-Ki with a super stiff shot right to Low-Kis nose busting him open. Ring officials have to separate the two men as violence is breaking out everywhere in SWEW.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) vs. CM Punk
It is finally main event time as the lights go out and Miseria Centre by AFI hits as CM Punk makes his way down the SWEW for his third and maybe final time. The crowd are popping huge for CM Punk as the straight edge hero marches round the ring and then enters the ring looking very focused. Austin Aries then makes his was down to the ring with the belt round his waist and the girl round his arm and he makes down to the ring looking happy. He gets into the ring and the ring introductions are made. Punk is the clear fan favourite here as the two men go face to face and then grapple as Austin Aries begins his 3rd defence of the SWEW Heavyweight Championship.
Aries and Punk have several grapples to start us off with no one able to get the advantage. The duo stand off each other and they receive a round of applause as they go into a grapple once again with CM Punk wins and he takes Austin down to the mat. Austin Aries reversed out and wore down CM Punk with a sleeper variation on the mat. Punk got to the ropes but Aries refused to let go so Punk nailed Aries with a right hand and Aries let go. After ducking a clothesline, Aries used a deep arm drag on Punk and went for a second but Punk landed on his feet kicked Aries in the gut and suplexed him and covered for a two. CM Punk applied a hammerlock to Aries, Aries tried to elbow out of it but Punk kept dodging them so Aries went close to the ropes and flung Punk out of the ring and Punk crashed hard to the floor.
Aries followed Punk to the outside and began to stamp on his knee before driving him into the guard railing twice, before rolling Punk into the ring. Aries covered but Punk kicked out easily. Aries locked in a figure four leg lock on Punk as it looked like he was targeting the right knee of Punk. Punk nailed Aries with a right hand to eventually break up the hold but Punk was noticeably limping when he knocked Aries down with a big chop and covered for 2. Punk hit a series of snap suplexes on Aries and covered for two. Aries took Punk over with a side headlock but Aries got worn down, as he was wrapped in a leg grapevine by Punk as Punk managed to reverse the hold and lock in the Devil Lock. Aries kicked out at Punk to break up the hold and then hammered Punk with some quick fire shots and delivered a big overhead belly-to-belly suplex on Punk and came crashing down with a Pendulum Elbow

Both men were slowly up and started to trade blows. A wild swing by Punk left him vulnerable, and Aries capitalized with another brainbuster. Aries then picked up Punk and set him up on the top rope. He shouted out brainbuster as it looked like he was going to deliver a brainbuster from the top rope. He lifts Punk up but Punk fights out of it and strikes Aries a few times and goes for the Pepsi Plunge. Punk tries to leap but Aries holds on for dear life. Punk stands up on the top rope but his right knee gives way and he crotches himself on the corner. Aries dumps Punk to the mat and comes off the top with a 450 splash

POSTSHOW
We go backstage for some backstage after show promos starting off with Spanky
Spanky – “Congratulations Austin, you proved to everyone you are the real deal. You defeated CM Punk and you’re still SWEW Heavyweight Champion. There’s only one problem with that Austin, tonight I finally earned my shot at the title. After waiting nearly a whole year to get a shot at the SWEW Heavyweight Championship, and four months to get another shot at you in one on one action, my dreams will come true on April 30th in South Dakota at the James Smith Memorial Arena when I will take you on Austin as I have cashed in my SWEW Triple Chance and I’m taking you on Austin. Do you want to know something Austin; I have never been more annoyed in my life with anyone as I have with you. You have cheap shot me between matches, talked shit about me and taken places in matches that I should have been in. However I’m feeling confident, I beat you once before in one on one action and I will again Austin because at the end of the match you will hear the ring announcer err announce the winner and your new SWEW Heavyweight Champion is me, Spanky.”
Backstage we are outside Don Callis office where Jimmy Rave is waiting when Matt Sydal comes out:
Jimmy Rave – “Hey man.”
Matt Sydal – “Hey, you waiting to see Callis?”
Jimmy Rave – “Yeah, is he free in there? He said I had to see him when the show is over, to find out my match for South Dakota.”
Matt Sydal – “No need to see him, he just told me your match.”
Jimmy Rave – “Really? Why would he do that?”
Matt Sydal – “Because we are in a SWEW Triple Chance match together.”
Jimmy Rave – “Really? So when I win I will get another shot at a title, sweet.”
Matt Sydal – “Whoa, you think you’re going to beat me or Delirious.”
Jimmy Rave – “Delirious is the third man? I’ve got this sown up.”
Matt Sydal – “Don’t get to cocky Jimmy, you wouldn’t want someone to slap you would you?”
Sydal and Rave come close to together but Rave just walks off looking pleased he is in another SWEW Triple Chance match.
Austin Aries and Becky Bayless are in there lockeroom and they are cutting a promo on Spanky it seems.
Austin Aries – “I told you, I told you all I would beat CM Punk and retain the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Now CM Punk should keep to his word and never come back again. Now I hear you have earned a shot at my title Spanky. You may have beaten last time Spanky, but now I’m more focused, I have the title, I have the girl and I have the skills to beat you Spanky, just like I did in the dream partner match. You going down Spanky because to me your nothing, your just number 4 on the list of people you have tried to take the title from me, and number 4 who has failed to do it. So on April 30th you bring your A game and I will knock it right out of the park, as you will not beat me Spanky, you or anyone else will not take the SWEW Heavyweight Championship away from me.”
We go to the parking lot where we see AJ Styles getting into a car on his own and driving off without tag team partner Chris Ca$h. Will they be able to team together to retain there belts against the Havana Pitbulls the team they beat for the belts with all this tension between them.
The Crew lockeroom is looking very upbeat as Trent Acid, Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes are standing behind Samoa Joe who starts to talk
Samoa Joe – “It has been a great night for the Crew tonight, the Havana Pitbulls, my boys have finally gotten there rematch for the SWEW Tag Team Championship and me and Trent have been given the matches we want against Majestic. I’m taking on masked-freak number one and Trent is taking on Alex Shelley in South Dakota. I’ll admit it Shelley, you and Majestic surprised me by your aggressiveness and your constant assaults on me and the rest of us. Not anymore Shelley, not anymore, I’M READY TO HUNT YOU DOWN LIKE THE DOGS YOU ARE. The Crew are going to rise to the top of SWEW once again and it will be over your dead bodies.”
As the show fades to black we see an early card for the April 30th show in South Dakota:

The Pepsi Challenge
April 16th 2005
Reading National Guard Armoury, Nebraska
Super Wrestling Extravaganza Wrestling is delighted to becoming to Nebraska for our debut show there from the Reading National Guard Armoury. In one of the most stacked cards in our history CM Punk will be returning to SWEW for possibly the last time as he challenges SWEW Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries for the title. Majestic have a target on there backs and this time it will be SWEW Tag Team Champions Styles Ca$h and member of the Crew Trent Acid who will be looking to take them down a peg in a six man tag match. Also in the house will be Samoa Joe, Low-Ki, Spanky and many more huge stars as SWEW comes to a new area for the first time.
SWEW Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries© (w/Becky Bayless) vs. CM Punk
Ever since CM Punk won a SWEW Triple Chance on December 11th at the Ultimate Challenge Cup, SWEW owner Don Callis has been phoning and emailed CM Punk with one question. When will you be coming in for your title match? Some five months later after constant answers of no, CM Punk has finally answered the call and Austin Aries in his 3rd title defence will defend against the straight edge hero CM Punk at the main event of ‘The Pepsi Challenge’.
Austin Aries has driven CM Punk back into SWEW over the recent months. When Austin Aries needed a surprise dream partner for his match with Spanky and Low-Ki, Aries called up CM Punk who was happy to come in and tag with Aries. In Punks 2nd appearance in SWEW he and Aries defeated Spanky and Low-Ki at ‘312 Hours Later’ in a MOTYC which saw the duo get into an argument after the match as Aries took the pinfall away from Punk who had hit the Pepsi Plunge on Spanky.
For weeks now coming into months the duo have taken shots at each other in interviews at live shows, backstage, taped anywhere they could take shots at each other. CM Punk has called Aries a cocky yet talented superstar but feels he is better than Austin Aries, while Aries now on a role as SWEW Heavyweight Champion as claimed no one can take the SWEW Heavyweight Championship away from him and after defending the title twice at the last show ‘Life on the Ladder’ against Jimmy Rave and Jimmy Jacobs people have started to ask if it is possible. Aries named CM Punk by name as one of the men who couldn’t take the title away from him but on April 16th 2005 we will find out.
CM Punk has lost his patience with Austin Aries and called SWEW owner Don Callis and told him he is cashing in his SWEW Triple Chance and coming after Aries title. Austin Aries after short reigns of Alex Shelley and Samoa Joe is looking to stabilise the SWEW Heavyweight Championship by keeping the belt for a long time but the challenge of CM Punk will be the toughest one to date for young Austin. CM Punk has stated he is unlikely to return to SWEW if he fails to capture the title so it’s all or nothing for CM Punk on April 16th as he will either leave as champion of SWEW or just leave.
Six Man Warfare
AJ Styles, Chris Ca$h & Trent Acid vs. Majestic
Majestic lead by Alex Shelley has commanded himself and his followers Delirious and Super Dragon to do some drastic things in recent months. In protest of Samoa Joes choke hold he used to beat Alex Shelley in three straight matches, Alex Shelley partitioned that the move be deemed illegal by SWEW officials and promised to ruin the show for someone for every show Samoa Joe used the choke hold legally. The casualty list reads like this:
312 Hours Later – February 6th 2005 – After the show which had seen Samoa Joe defeat Alex Shelley via the choke hold to retain his then SWEW Heavyweight Championship, Majestic attacked Crew member Trent Acid backstage leaving him unconscious which saw Majestic fined a total of $1500 for there actions.
Rage in a Cage – February 19th 2005 – After Samoa Joe had retained his then SWEW Heavyweight Championship in a steel cage match against Jimmy Jacobs, Majestic shockingly ran down to the ring attacked Samoa Joe and hung him from the cage leaving him seconds from ending his career before the Crew could cut him down from the cage. Samoa Joe was in hospital for 6 days after that attack and has still not recovered fully from it and lead to Joe losing the SWEW Heavyweight Championship to Austin Aries at ‘Rated 18’.
Rated 18 – March 12th 2005- Matt Sydal was a victim for Majestic as they attacked him after his match with Joey Matthews laying him out. In a brutal six man tag match Majestic defeated the Samoa Joes Crew of Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero and Trent Acid leaving particularly Trent Acid injured after power bombing him through light tubes and driving him throw a barbwire board.
SWEW Official Announcement - Before the next show after a month of deliberation SWEW officials deemed the choke hold of Samoa Joe a legal hold. Alex Shelley vowed to continue Majestics path of destruction until Samoa Joe and the rest of the Crew were out of SWEW forever while continuing to ruin the show for members of the SWEW roster.
Life on the Ladder – March 26th 2005 - After Styles Ca$h of AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h had retained there SWEW Tag Team Championship in a brutal ladder match, Majestic saw there opportunity and hit the ring and attacked Chris Ca$h with a steel chair and set up AJ Styles for a similar attack until Crew members Trent Acid and Samoa Joe despite there apparent problems and after there defeat to Delirious and Super Dragon in tag action rushed to the ring to stop the attack and Trent Acid delivered a hard blow from a steel chair to Alex Shelley finally getting some revenge on him by busting him open and knocking him senseless.
AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h wanted there own revenge on Majestic and demanded a match with them. They got it as along with Crew member Trent Acid they will take on Majestic in a six man tag match. AJ Styles is not happy with this; he and Trent Acid have a long history of dislike of each other in SWEW. It got so extreme that after initial baiting and tag match victories over each other that Trent Acid stole AJ’s SWEW Tag Team Championship belt and held it for several shows until AJ finally took it back from Acid a few months ago.
During that time AJ and Trent Acid had a singles match which saw Trent Acid pick up a victory when Chris Ca$h accidentally helped Acid to win by passing him a SWEW Tag Team Championship belt which he used to hit AJ with and he got the pinfall. There has been tension between AJ Styles and Chris Ca$h ever since that day and despite there long tag team title reign they have been constantly arguing in the lockeroom and are not even coming to shows together anymore.
However the three men will have to put there differences to one side as they battle for one cause, to get revenge on Majestic. They will have to be at the top of there games as Majestic are seething after there plans to ruin the show at ‘Life on a Ladder’ was ruined and Alex Shelley was in a deranged state after the show. The rest of the Crew of Samoa Joe, Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero are banned from ringside for an exchange of Majestic not ruining the show for anyone as they know a loss against three men who aren’t exactly best of friends will be devastating to Majestics claim of been number on in SWEW but can they get the job done?
SWEW Triple Chance Match
Matt Sydal (w/Daizee Haze) vs. Samoa Joe vs. Spanky
With no current SWEW Triple Chance holders three more men will challenge for the right to become a contender for an SWEW title. All three men have different reasons in wanting to win this match. Matt Sydal who picked up the biggest victory of his career at ‘Life on the Ladder’ by defeating Majestics leader Alex Shelley. Sydal then turned down an opportunity to join Shelleys Majestic by claiming he doesn’t need to take short-cuts to reach the top of SWEW by joining up with Shelley. Sydal claims he has enough natural talent to reach the top of SWEW on his own and it will be a huge statement if he can beat either Samoa Joe or Spanky and get a title shot.
Samoa Joe will be looking to take Majestic down a peg or two and will also to be looking to get a rematch for the title he lost to Austin Aries at ‘Rated 18’ winning this match will show everyone the leader of the Crew is the man in SWEW and he will get his rematch for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship against Austin Aries or CM Punk in the future. Spanky is looking to win this match for one reason. He wants Austin Aries in the ring for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship. Aries has taken Spankys place in matches which lead to Aries taking the SWEW Heavyweight Champion. Aries has attacked Spanky after matches, bad-mouthed him and disrespected him by saying he is not worthy of getting a title shot. Spanky will desperately try to win this match and gain his first title shot for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship so he can attempt to shut Aries up for good.
Special Attraction Match
Jimmy Jacobs & Low-Ki vs. The Havana Pitbulls
With these four great athletics not booked in matches SWEW Owner Don Callis has booked this special attraction tag match. The Havana Pitbulls have been told a win will almost guarantee at last a SWEW Tag Title rematch against Styles Ca$h on April 30th in South Dakota. However they will have to get past two of the biggest stars in SWEW, former champion Jimmy Jacobs and international star Low-Ki who will not lie down for anyone as they look to reclaim the ladder after recent losses in action here at SWEW. This promises to be a great match when former training buddies Ricky Reyes, Rocky Romero and Low-Ki have a re-union in the ring but could Jimmy Jacobs yet again prove to be the X-Factor.
Tag Team Grudge Match
H-Factor of Bobby Quance & Teddy Hart vs. Wasted Talent
After graduating from the SWEW Academy in early 2005 Alex Lovell and Ray Stevens in both singles and tag matches lost match after match. After aligning with John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts a few months ago they still continued to lose match, after match. This finally ended on March 26th at ‘Life on the Ladder’ as in a ‘Fly or Die’ match against the SAT, Wasted Talent were able to pick up there first ever victory and drive the SAT out of SWEW. They thanked John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts for all his help in training them including taking them to a gym in the Caribbean and have given John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts 100% support in his war with H-Factor.
H-Factor are getting rather annoyed with Earl Roberts now who has beaten them in singles matches several times against Hart and Quance in recent months and with Wasted Talent now 100% into this feud things could get heated up. Wasted Talent will be looking to thank Earl Robert by picking up a victory here but Quance and Hart who along with Evans are just trying to inject some fun into SWEW will not be looking to lose this one. Incidentally Hart who had a bad fall at ‘Life on the Ladder’ in the ladder match is not at 100% but will defiantly be in Nebraska for this tag match.
Grudge Match
Jack Evans vs. John ‘OK’ Earl Roberts
Continuing on from the last match the H-Factor vs. Roberts / Wasted Talent feud continues here. Roberts has beaten Quance and Hart in recent months but has not yet got a victory over Jack Evans. Roberts claims going over all three members of H-Factor will give a boost to the whole economy of Trinidad and he would defiantly have the bragging rights if he can do this. H-Factor as stated earlier are not having as much fun in the ring as they would like as Roberts outrageous claims have put a big downer on them and they just want the issue to be over but Roberts will stop at nothing to drive H-Factor out of SWEW.
New vs. Old School
Gregg Bradley vs. Jimmy Rave
From a main event match to opening the card Jimmy Rave will have his work cut out from his as he battles the monster of SWEW Gregg Bradley. Rave who took on Austin Aries for the SWEW Heavyweight Championship at the last show will be looking to keep up his ‘winning streak’ despite the loss on the last show against Gregg Bradley the newest graduate of the SWEW Academy who in his debut match with Jimmy Jacobs at ‘Life on the Ladder’ looked good in the early going before tiring and eventually losing. In the back to the surprise of no one Bradley showed his temper he had got in trouble for in the past by flipping out and knocking equipment around before been dumped out of the building. A lot of the lockeroom are behind Rave for this one as they want Bradley to be taught a lesson but at 6, 4 ft and 210lbs it could be hard for Rave a much smaller athletic to compete with Bradleys raw power.
