Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

Edinburgh, Scotland
The show started as normal with ‘Flux’ by Bloc Party playing before a well known face to the Scottish crowd James Simmons came out but he was booed. Simmons is a well known heel from Scotland and Mike Air came out to try and take him on.

Match 1: James Simmons vs. Mike Air
Simmons mostly dominated this match with a good techniqual style, Air got some kicks in to Simmons but Simmons eventually caught his foot spinned him round and lariated him. Simmons put Mike away with the Drunken Ramblings (Small Package Driver)
Winner: James Simmons

First out came Dragon Aisu a UK indy worker who used to wrestle under a mask, now he is a heel who works a fast pace. Spade rocked his way out then at the entrance stood a masked man, looking much like Lince Dorado. He ran to the ring announced as El Tiger.

Match 2: El Tiger vs. Dragon Aisu vs. Matthew Spade
A damn good match, it was focused around the face El Tiger who really showed some skill tonight. At one point he hit three consecutive moonsaults from the top rope to the outside. Aisu had Spade in a muscle buster but Tiger hit a major double stomp on Spade to add extra impact. After hitting Aisu with a shining wizard he nailed Spade with the Eye Of The Tiger (Repeated knees strikes into a codebreaker) to get his first ever win!
Winner: El Tiger

Match 3: Bret Thomas vs. Steven Kagemann
These two former partner faced off in what can only be described as a mix of styles. Thomas kept the match to classic traditional wrestling while Kagemann hit some stiff shots. Thomas kept applying submissions which angered Kagemann and after escaping a rear naked choke Kagemann went to the outside where he threw weapons in to the ring. He was then counted out.
Winner by count-out: Bret Thomas

After match Bret Thomas started shouting at Kagemann trying to calm him down. Instead Kagemann went into the ring looked like he calmed down only to smash him with a chair! Kagemann grabbed his hair in a ‘What have I done” moment and quickly left.

Match 4: Nick Jacobs w) Sam Kineval vs. Giggles the Clown (Pagano)
At first Giggles kept to comedy wrestling then as Jacobs and himself locked up Jacobs just couldn’t get hold of the Clown. Giggles ran around the outside were Kineval chased him then the Clown jumped under the ring. The cocky duo looked under the ring but Giggles was already outside and sitting in the crowd much to the laughter of the Scottish clown. After Jacobs found him and started his beat down he delivered the Burnout 2.0 (Helms Buster)
Winner: Nick Jacobs

Intermission with Giggles the clown were he put on a ‘show’ of bad juggling, trying to ride a unicycle and making a animal balloon. He ended the match by throwing a custard pie at our ring announcer.

Match 5: New Age Lady Killers (Drew Parkland & Daniel Sinn) vs. Insane Assassins (Twisted Assassin & Insane Dragon)
This started off pretty good but just ended there, no really both teams started attacking each other on the outside causing a double DQ.
Winners by DQ: No-one

Parkland battled with Assassin into the crowd and even powerbombed Assassin onto the steps! Dragon and Sinn also battled in the crowd using lots of chairs. Finally the Lady Killers walked away as the Assassins just challenged them to fight them.

Match 6: Petey the Pirate vs. Edward Colgate w) Patrick R. Everson
This was a very unsual spot to put this match as its so close to the main event but they done this to separate the two tag matches. Petey looked ok out there but like I have said a thousand times his size limits his capacities. Everson came in numerous times and took the big Pirate off his feet with a huge tackle. Everson then hit a Better Than You (Facebuster) for a win.
Winner: Edward Colgate

FUSE Duo Championships
Match 7: Revolution X (Safu & Jordan Devine) vs. Jacob Ryler and James Powers
A damn good match between all four men. Safu and Devine are still not clicking like a team and are just like two men teaming up. Ryler and Powers looked impressive and had loads of near falls. Ryler went for the Higher we go (Modded Perfect Plex) but Safu jumped in and made the save for Devine to hit the 305 (Double Knee Gutbuster) as Safu jumped over the top rope for them to regain the belts.
Winners and still FUSE Duo Champions: Revolution X (Safu & Jordan Devine)

After the match Rev X leader Chris Hammers walked out with the title over his shoulder he jumped in the ring and tapped both men on the back, Amy-Lee also entered. Hammers got on the mic.

Hammers: We have just proven why we are the force behind the whole of FUSE we are Duo Champion and FUSE World Champion, no-one can beat us. And at Riot Act we will prove that once and for all.

Hammers was talking about the Steel Cage Warfare match at Riot act between all 3 members of Revolution X against Jacob Ryler, Mike Bockwinkel and James Powers.

Winner Goes to London
Main Event: Nigel McGuinness vs. Henry Edwards
With a World Title shot on the line these two put on a match that will go down as one of the greatest matches the UK (let alone Scotland) have ever seen. We had a chop battle, scoop slam battle and even a lariat battle which Edwards surprisingly won! Nigel went for the Tower of London but Edwards caught him and hit an amazing death valley driver. Both men were nearly fainting and Edwards could barely get to his feet. Both mens chests were bright red and sweating buckets. The fans were behind Edwards but they showed respect to Nigel. As Nigel went for the Jawbreaker Lariat, Edwards ducked and took the ROH World Champion down in a crossface eventually making his nose bleed and tap out.
Winner and No.1 Contender for London: Henry Edwards

Edwards celebrated but couldn’t get up, he stayed on his knees and wiped Nigel’s blood of his hands. He lifted his arm up and was helped to the back.

Belfast, Ireland

FUSE started off with the familiar tune of ‘Flux’ by Bloc Party before Matthew Spade rocked the house out and FUSE’s resident luchadore El Tiger appeared

Match 1: Matthew Spade vs. El Tiger
A very odd mix of styles so they didn’t click that well. The match was based on Tiger’s high spots which excited the crowd quite a bit. There was no way Spade was going to win, he’s the heel equvielent of Petey the Pirate AKA Jobber. Tiger then hit a lacklustre Eye Of The Tiger (Knees strikes into a codebreaker) to win the match.
Winner: El Tiger

Evan Pagano walked out with mic in hand he talked on how he is never booked in FUSE’s major matches anymore he asked the crowd if he even existed as they chanted ‘Boring.’ Pagano then said it would all change in London as he becomes the winner of the ‘Battle for the UK’

Match 2: Petey the Pirate vs. James Simmons
Yet another bad mix of styles mostly because Petey is a giant who sticks to very basic moves and sells pretty bad. Simmons however is the opposite and has a bright future ahead of him in FUSE. He chopped down the BFP (Big Friendly Pirate) then hit a frog splash for the win.
Winner: James Simmons

Bret Thomas walks out and tells Steven Kagemann to come out and explain himself from last week. Kagemann comes out and says he’s sorry, he haven’t been winning much and when he couldn’t get the win last week he just saw red and attacked. Thomas excepted his apology and they walked to the back together.

Match 3: Patrick R. Everson w) Edward Colgate vs. Mike Air
What’s up with these jobbing type matches, this wasn’t as jobbing as the others but you could still see who was going to win. Everson looked good and Colgate at ringside really got the crowd riled up. Everson put Air away with The Harvard Hangover (Brainbuster)
Winner: Patrick R. Everson

‘The Genius’ Colgate got on the mic and said that in London Everson will win the ‘Battle of the UK’ and go on to become the FUSE World Champion.

Intermission came with Mike Air in this pretty lacklustre first half

No.1 Contender
Match 4: Insane Assassins (Insane Dragon & Twisted Assassin) vs. New Age Lady Killers (Drew Parkland & Daniel Sinn)
A nice change to the jobbing start of the show as two of FUSE’s top teams faced off. It was a real hard hitter as both teams were made up of groups of brawlers. Sinn even powerbombed Dragon off the apron onto a ringside table which sent the fans into a frenzy. In the end the Insane Assassins picked up the win with a huge Doomsday Device.
Winner and new no.1 Contenders: Insane Assassins (Insane Dragon & Twisted Assassin)

Chris Hammers walked out with Amy Lee by his side he said he came out to talk to his ‘People’ as this is his hometown. Hammers put on a superb performance to make sure his hometown fans turned into his worst enemies.

Match 5: Nick Jacobs & Sam Kineval vs. James Powers & Jacob Ryler
This match was to prepare Powers and Ryler for their Steel Cage Warfare at Riot Act. The match went very well and each wrestler stepped up to the plate with their own set of moves. At some points Powers looked out of it as he couldn’t keep to the pace of the match but overall it was great. Ryler picked up the win for his team with Higher we go (Modded Perfect Plex) on Kineval.
Winners: James Powers & Jacob Ryler

Match 6: Mike Bockwinkel vs. Safu
A weird place to put this match as both members of the teams facing at Riot Act can be seen as the 3rd member, Mike and Safu battled and Safu clearly had the upper hand. Safu continued to dominate until Mike hit a bulldog. With the fans on his side Mike somehow lifted Safu into The Bockwinkel Special (Piledriver) for the win.
Winner: Mike Bockwinkel

The main event was up next and Hammers made sure all members of Revolution X were out to see his future opponent and his threat to his title. Edwards came out and instantly the fans went ballistic! They hated Hammers so much they just wanted Edwards to kick his ass. Before the match Edwards said that he is going to deal with Devine then he’ll deal with Hammers.

Match 7: Henry Edwards vs. Jordan Devine
As this match started Edwards and Devine put on a mat classic with Edwards slightly getting the upper hand but soon Rev X came involved and started their dirty tactics. Devine tried to take advantage but Edwards delt with him with a H.E. Driver (Double underhook brainbuster)
Winner: Henry Edwards

Afterwards Henry motioned for Hammers to enter the ring instead he was met with Safu who was quickly put down with a spinebuster. Edwards and Hammers met in a tense stare down with the championship right in the middle.
