For a shot at immortality, some men are willing to risk everything. That's the case with Tommy End, who for this opportunity at the World Championship Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship, is vacating the WCWA International championship.

End was the man to unify the International championship with the World Television championship, defeating Beef Wellington last month at Delusions of Grandeur in one of the most brutal beatings in WCWA history, and that says something. Since then, Tommy End has been on a roll, knocking off former WCWA World Heavyweight champion Jack Evans, former WCWA World Television champion and top contender for the Heavyweight title Joey Ryan, and probably the most decorated veteran on the active WCWA roster, the former multiple time ECW World Heavyweight champion, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, on back to back to back weeks, and all of that following his defeat of Wellington.

However, the champion should not be looked past. Claudio Castagnoli is unbeaten. Every single wrestler who's stepped up to the plate to challenge Claudio Castagnoli, in singles or tag team action, has fallen to defeat. From Jack Evans, who Castagnoli defeated for the Heavyweight Championship to current WWE star "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters, who Claudio tangled with during his brief hiatus from WWE, and sent packing back to New York. From Delirious and Pac to sure fire Hall of Famer Too Cold Scorpio.. Necro Butcher. LuFisto, Emil Sitoci, Ruckus, Beef Wellington.. These are the top stars of WCWA and in each of their chances to pull the sword from the block, they've all came up short. This includes Tommy End. When Castagnoli was just starting his wrecking spree, an unknown local star on the WCWA tour of Germany, Tommy End was one of the first to fall to Castagnoli.

Castagnoli's reign of terror has seen him wipe out everyone laid in front of him, including the fan dubbed "Last Hero of WCWA", Eddie Kingston, not once, but twice. Castagnoli has rarely even been pinned for a count of two, much less three. By sheer circumstance through his undefeated streak, Castagnoli has acquired three points for World Tag Team title contention, with current champion Chris Hero, as well as several points for title contention with Hero's championship partner, Chuck Taylor. Because including tag team encounters, every match that Claudio Castagnoli has had inside of the ropes in WCWA has resulted in a win.

But he hasn't faced anyone on the roll Tommy End is on. Tommy End's current streak may have been considered the most dominant streak in WCWA history if it weren't for Castagnoli's. Tommy End will likely go down in history as THE most dominant International champion in WCWA history and will forever be known as the final World Television champion, as he left Beef Wellington battered, bloodied, and choked out in route to unifying the championship with his International title. And it's not like Tommy End has been smashing cans to retain the International championship in his extended reign. Lance Storm? SeXXXy Eddy? Chuck Taylor? They've all fallen to Tommy End.

This is the first time in WCWA history that a wrestler has vacated the International championship in order to challenge for the World Heavyweight championship. It's an all or nothing scenario for Tommy End and while he's pushing all in, the Vegas odds are against him. Will he do the impossible and beat Claudio Castagnoli, or will he bust?




Helter Skelter is the war to end all wars. Helter Skelter is the battle that's bigger than any battle that's came before it. Helter Skelter is the end.

For Eddie Kingston and Chris Hero, the story starts before WCWA. The story starts to Eddie Kingston's rookie years, where he looked up to Chris Hero as a the veteran on the indies. Kingston and his partner Blackjack Marciano expected Hero to show them the way and teach them.. But instead Hero took advantage of them, used them for what he could, and threw them aside. This was something Eddie Kingston never forgot.

When Kingston arrived in WCWA with the BLK Out, Chris Hero was already aligning troops, his Kings of Wrestling in the prototype stages. And while Hero was preoccupied at the time, and the BLK Out were simply looking to prove that they as a unit were for real, the bad blood boiled almost immediately. When the WCWA World Heavyweight championship became vacated and a tournament was opened up to crown a new champion, it was Hero and Kingston in the final three way match of survival to crown the new champion, with Hero coming out on top via contriversial means.

The battle by this point had absorbed the allies of Hero and Kingston. Heading into the Trial & Error pay per view, both sides bolstered their numbers and Hero and Kingston led two sides to war. The finale of the Trial & Error Pay Per View was a massive eight on eight Torneo Cibernetico elimination match, which was ultimately won by Chris Hero, last eliminating none other than Eddie Kingston.

Their battles have raged over two continents. When the opportunity for WCWA to present a supershow from Australia, on over the air television in Australia and limited time over the air television in the United States, the natural fit for WCWA Down Under's main event was Eddie Kingston challenging Chris Hero one on one, for the Heavyweight Championship. And on that night in Sydney, Australia, Kingston was the better man. Kingston was the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Unfortunately Eddie Kingston's reign was short lived, because less than two weeks later he dropped the championship in a three way dance on Pay Per View, losing the championship to his friend Jack Evans, when Evans pinned Hero. Kingston would get no immediate rematch at Evans, and would actually only get to challenge the man who defeated Jack Evans, Claudio Castagnoli, when Kingston won a Gauntlet for the Gold match, outlasting twenty nine other WCWA wrestlers to win the battle royale.

Kingston fought Castagnoli harder than anyone ever has, but interferance from Chris Hero cost him his championship aspirations. In the rematch, inside of a steel cage, Chris Hero and Kings of Wrestling partner Chuck Taylor still got involved, dropping from the ceiling into the top of the cage, and assisting Castagnoli in a three on one, weapons included beatdown on Eddie Kingston.

Beyond the storied history of these two men, what more can or should be said? This is it. This is the final battle and this is the war to determine the winner in this feud. This feud may be more important than the championship match, because for the better part of a year, the championship has been intertwined in this feud. Since the championship was freed up with the roster shake up, the championship has been embroiled with these two men. At Helter Skelter, it's not about the championship. This one is personal. And one man will be left standing when the smoke clears.




While Chris Hero and Eddie Kingston claim that Helter Skelter is the war to end all wars, the final battle.. For these two men, it truthfully will be the end of the road. At Helter Skelter, The Messiah and Lance Storm will do battle one final time, and the loser of the fall's career will be over.

In WCWA, the loser leaves town match, loser retires match is not something that's toyed with. Unlike other promotions, this is not a match used to further a story. Wrestlers do not return the next month to work as a GM, to have one last big match, and no one comes back under a hood. There have been several retirement or loser leaves town matches in WCWA and every time, the loser of the fall was never seen in WCWA again. This is the ultimate stipulation.

The Messiah looked up to Lance Storm. Storm was one of the guys who inspired The Messiah and made him believe. But any respect Messiah had for Storm was thrown out the window when a "freak injury" was revealed as intentional. During a routine match on WCWA television several months ago, it was The Messiah versus Lance Storm. Storm went to the floor and Messiah, as so many WCWA wrestlers do, did a dive to the floor. Except Storm moved and redirected Messiah into the floor. The horrible landing resulted in Messiah's leg snapping, the match coming to an immediate halt, and Messiah's career being put in jeopardy there.

Many believed it was simply an accident until Storm and manager Joey Eastman boasted and joked about the injury, mocking The Messiah on television. Furthermore, in later encounters, Storm purposely targetted the leg of Messiah in hopes to injure him again. This feud elevated several times though in one of the most disgusting scenes in WCWA history.

In 2002, The Messiah was sitting in his living room, playing video games, when two masked assaliants entered his home and attacked him. They attempted to chop off his penis with hedge clippers and succeeded in chopping off one of his thumbs. This is not a pro wrestling angle. The Messiah has no thumb. In 2006, Joey Eastman and Lance Storm repeated this attack. With television cameras present on the dime of Eastman, Eastman and Storm broke into The Messiah's home and attempted to cut off The Messiah's other thumb. Luckily, The Messiah was able to fight the two men off with minimal property damage and no injury.

Helter Skelter brings this war to an end. One of these two men will not be seen in WCWA again. And this war will be over.




Love hurts.

Jimmy Jacobs has had love and lost it. With Lacey at his side in the Age of the Fall, Jimmy Jacobs was on top of the world. In the stable wars of WCWA, the Age of the Fall would be considered one of the top gangs, as Jimmy led his off beat misfits, Nathan Kelley, Zach Gowen, and Lacey into whatever battles were needed.

But behind every good man is a strong lady and without Lacey behind him to back his decisions, the descent into madness began for Jimmy Jacobs. Alcoholism, self mutilation, and depression were all on the menu for Jacobs as the masses taunted and teased him. I'm sure the chants haunted Jimmy in his dreams. "Where is Lacey, Where is Lacey" they chanted, over and over, until at Delusions of Grandeur, after weeks of being absent from ringside, Lacey reappeared.

And for the second time in the night, Nathan Kelley appeared, to compete in the throwback battle royal. Except it wasn't the somber, angry, depressed Nathan Kelley who teamed with Jimmy earlier in the evening in the tag team gauntlet, but instead "Spyder" Nate Webb, dancing and having a good time with an absolutely jovial Lacey.

This was enough to send Jacobs off of the deep end. He continued in his slums and attempted to do everything in his power to get the love of his life, Lacey, back.. And love said no.

Everything positive in Jimmy Jacobs' life is dead and rather than trying to make his life better, Jimmy is determined to make everyone around him as miserable as he is. On Synthetic, he made a proclaimation from the bowels of the building, challenging Nate Webb to a match and a stipulation that has never been done in WCWA before: The Boiler Room Brawl.

At Helter Skelter, the war will start in the dark, dank, bowels of the Oakland Arena, inside of the boiler room. For one man to emerge victorious, he must escape from the boiler room, make it to the main arena, down the ramp and into the ring. In one corner of the ring, a pole will stand erected. A top that pole will be a heart shaped key, which Lacey introduced into the story as the key to her heart. The winner of the contest will be the man who retrieves the key.

As an added incentive, this match is a first round match in the tournament to crown the new WCWA International champion, with Tommy End vacating the championship. The winner of the contest will advance into the second round.





Tables, Ladder, and Chairs.

These are three words that strike fear into competitors and bring up dancing visions of destruction past. Several years ago, it was a tables, ladders, and chairs match for the World Junior Heavyweight championship that put WCWA on the map and launched the career of Jack Evans. At Helter Skelter, for the second time in WCWA history, it will be a three way dance TLC match for the World Junior Heavyweight Title.

The Junior Heavyweight Grand Prix was supposed to bring to a head who was the best man in WCWA, and he would be the champion. Unfortunately, it just seemed to complicate things. Emil Sitoci brought the World Junior Heavyweight Championship into the Grand Prix and in his first match, lost the championship to Pac. Sitoci never recieved a rematch against Pac, but instead against Eddy, whom he defeated to become a three time World Junior Heavyweight champion. Pac would have a bigger arguement that he should be the one getting the rematch here, since he got no rematch at all.. and neither has SeXXXy Eddy, who won the Grand Prix.

At the end of the Grand Prix, the results were Michael Facade coming up with one win, two losses, and a draw, Jimmy Jacobs with one win, three losses, Emil Sitoci batting .500 with two wins, two losses, Pac coming up with two wins, one loss, and a draw, and SeXXXy Eddy with the best overall record of three wins and one loss.

At Helter Skelter, we fix the mess here. The winner of the Grand Prix, the former champions, the current champion, the three overall best records in the grand prix. They all go to war and in the most legendary match for WCWA Junior Heavyweights, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs. IT'S ON!




Terry Funk is the most legendary figure in hardcore wrestling. He was hardcore before there was a word for it. And he looks out for the younger hardcore wrestlers. Unlike a lot of aging veterans, Terry Funk has always been willing to pass along the knowledge he's gathered in his many years of wrestling so that young wrestlers do not make the same mistakes he made over the years. He took on a teacher/student relationship with the Necro Butcher, Necro being the one to induct Funk into the WCWA Hardcore Hall of Fame.

This is why it hurt Funk so much when Necro Butcher turned on all of his morals and joined Joey Eastman, in route to capturing his first championship in WCWA, the World Death Match title. And not only did he turn on his morals, he turned on his tag team partner Jack Evans, leaving him high and dry earlier in the evening to face the Kings of Wrestling by himself. All of this upset Funk enough that he made a return to WCWA TV, to confront Necro. And as thanks, he was beat down by Necro.

Funk gave many impassioned speeches and he thought the only way he could solve the problems with Necro was to step into the ring with the wild man from West Virginia himself. And the results were one of the most disgusting beat downs in WCWA history. In his prime, Terry Funk would've been a match for Necro Butcher, but Terry Funk's prime was three decades ago and Necro dismantled his hero on live TV.

"The Death Match Drunkard" Danny Havoc is in a similar position to Necro Butcher, as one of the last outlaws. When he entered wrestling school for the first time several years ago, he didn't want to learn an arm bar. He wanted to learn how to hit someone with a chair. Through and through, Danny Havoc is a hardcore hero. So for Terry Funk to be so disrespected and abused made Havoc's blood boil. Havoc was the first on the scene to save Funk from further Necro Butcher abuse and when it came time to step up, Havoc was the first to sign the contract.

Necro wants to show that his fighting spirit lives on. He just wants to be profitable while doing it. At Helter Skelter, this one will have a definitive winner and a definitive loser, because at Helter Skelter, the match will go on until one man submits or surrenders. To the victor goes the spoils, the WCWA World Death Match Championship. May he hang the tarnished gold from his severed tendons.





This match was originally scheduled to be Allison Danger's final chance at the WCWA American Joshi championship, a championship she put on the map, but following a brutal attack to close the eight person tag team match on Synthetic, including a tag team spike pildriver onto a steel chair from Chris Hero and Chuck Taylor, Allison Danger's career is temporarily derailed, following a trip to the local emergancy room in Oregon. Danger promises to give a status update about her condition on the live 30 minute Helter Skelter preshow, prior to the Pay Per View.

At Helter Skelter, "The Missionary of Violence" LuFisto steps in to fill the void that Allison Danger has left at the eleventh hour, to challenge Sara Del Ray for the American Joshi Championship. LuFisto has proven herself to be more than a tough competitor in the past, as one of only two women to be entered into the King of the Death Match tournament, the other being Allison Danger herself. LuFisto brings her own unique style of "Super Hardcore Anime" to the ring. Will she be the one to stop "The Queen of Wrestling"? Sara Del Ray has yet to taste defeat in a WCWA ring. She has no other peer in that regard and the way that she's ran through every opponent laid in front of her, except the reigning WCWA World Heavyweight champion, fellow Kings of Wrestling member Claudio Castagnoli. Del Ray is vicious, brutal, and merciless, as shown by her involvement in the breaking of LuFisto's part time tag team partner, Delirious, arm. Will LuFisto be able to extract revenge for both Allison Danger and Delirious and take the American Joshi championship away from Sara Del Ray, or will Del Ray continue to reign on top as "The Queen of Wrestling"? Find out at Helter Skelter!





The International title will not remain vacant for long, because Tommy End's fate won't even be determined before the tournament begins to crown the new WCWA International champion. In this first round contest, former WCWA International champion, one half of the WCWA World Tag Team Champions, and a member of the Kings of Wrestling, "The Kentucky Gentleman" Chuck Taylor does battle with "The Strong Style Superman" CJ Otis.

CJ Otis arrived on the scene at Delusions of Grandeur and immediately made it known that he is strictly business. He's here for wrestling and he's not interested in the fun and games. He is an athlete, and he is not interested in the people who cheat to win. This made him a natural enemy of the Kings of Wrestling, who will take any short cut they can, specifically Chuck Taylor, who never misses the opportunity to cheese it up for the camera. At Helter Skelter, these two men will do battle and only one will come up on top, advancing in the International title tournament.





One last ride. That's what Shane Douglas is looking for. One last opportunity and to prove he does still have gas in the tank. At Helter Skelter, in an opening round match in the International title tournament, he gets to prove it against one of the more decorated members of the WCWA roster, in Beef Wellington.

In recent history, Beef is well known for becoming ground Beef at the knees of Tommy End. Some say he deserved it. Afterall, Beef Wellington has acted like a prick lately. He dropped Kylie Pierce on her head, she hasn't been seen since. He laid out Kamala when they were almost at three points for title contention. He's even teamed with Jimmy Jacobs lately! But Beef is not someone to be played with. A multiple time former WCWA World Television champion, a former contender for the World Heavyweight title, a winner of Gauntlet for the Gold, and the last "big stage" challenger for the International title... Beef has a lot to prove that he can pull the trigger when it comes to mega match ups. At Helter Skelter, only one of these two men will be able to get on the right track and advance in the International title tournament, while the other will simply be swept aside.




It's gang warfare! Joey Eastman Worldwide members Joey Ryan, Darin Corbin, and Ryan Cruz will do battle with the BLK Out's Jack Evans, Ruckus, and Michael Facade in this six man tag team contest at Helter Skelter. These two factions are no strangers to one another and these six men will surely tear the house down!
