Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

Welcome Back
After a long tour around the whole of the UK we find ourselves going back to our old dump of a warehouse were he stick a ring and a few chairs. After all the time we spent in great British halls wrestling our guts out we were stuck back in this old place. However some guys were happy to be back while others were just happy to be off the aeroplane, Parkland. I was pretty happy, I am finally fit and healthy and ready to get back in the ring.

“Welcome back guys!” said Alex Shelley waiting for us with 2 young muscular guys behind him
“Hey what’s this I hear about the new X Division Champion ‘en?” I reply back
“I heard he’s some handsome dude” answered Alex in his cocky way
“I heard he’s an egomaniac” muttered Daniel Sinn
“Who’s these guys?” I asked Shelley
“Petey’s replacement” Shelley answered back
“Petey was just one guy, not three” I said back

I ended up taking on both students, one being a young highflyer named Jason Williams and a cocky Canadian named Kev Dogs (Yep, that’s what I thought too) Add Ace Bennet who appeared two shows ago saving Mike Air from an attack. As the wrestlers started some warm ups Shelley spoke.

“Oh yeah and I forgot, I booked some people for Riot Act”
“You what? I’ve already booked the card” I replied back angrily
“Well can’t you change it?” said Shelley
“Thanks, that’s my night gone” knowing I’ll be up all night booking the card
“No, don’t worry I’ve booked the show as well” replied Shelley
Why couldn’t he have told me earlier? Anyway I looked over the card, it looked allright nothing special. A few nice special guests but this was suppost to be our biggest show. But what could I tell him? Your booking sucks? It wasn’t that bad, I told him it looked good and did some warm ups with the students ready for Riot Act.

‘Battle of the UK’ winner Pagano speaks about FUSE owner Austin Aries

Austin Aries

FUSE’s kicked off with ‘Flux’ by Bloc Party but was cut short by the new FUSE Champion, Henry Edwards. The fans loved their new champ and Edwards delivered a short speech thanking the fans. Edwards then was cut off by Nigel McGuinness who mocked the new Champion and then the American crowd! Edwards challenged him to a match later tonight, McGuinness then accepted it saying that’s exactly what he wanted.

Match 1: Kev Dogs vs. Jason Williams
Both men proved them selves with their flipy work but as they were unknowns the fans didn’t appreciate the match as much. Neither man could get the win and Williams dropsault then got the crowd riled up, add some America sucks shouts from Kev Dogs and the crowd started to get into it. Then as the crowd cheered on Williams hit a Psycho Driver for the win.
Winner: Jason Williams

Match 2: James Simmons vs. Matthew Spade
At first Spade came at Simmons with all guns blazing but soon Simmons turned the match to him. Simmons started to dominate Spade and shoved him in the corner for multiple chops. Spade started a comeback but Simmons just struck him down with a high knee. Simmons then hit a European uppercut then his finisher Drunken Ramblings (Small Package Driver) for the 3 count.
Winner: James Simmons

At the opening of the stage stood Revolution X (Chris Hammers, Jordan Devine, Safu and Amy-Lee) Hammers took control and told his opponents to get ready to lose because tonight RevX will prove that they are a strong structured team.

Match 3: Insane Assassins (Insane Dragon & Twisted Assassin) vs. Bret Thomas & Steven Kagemann
Once again Kagemann seemed like he was going to turn on Bret but he never did instead Bret kept losing control of the match as he couldn’t trust Kagemann. This match was pretty short and Thomas got hit by the Doomsday Device for the win.
Winners: Insane Assassins (Insane Dragon & Twisted Assassin)

Kagemann walked into the ring to meet Thomas and grabbed a mic. He told Thomas that if he doesn’t trust him just say so. Thomas says he’s sorry he hasn’t trusted Kagemann during their recent teaming. Kagemann says its allright and they walk off together. Then Kagemann attacks Thomas! Kagemann drags Thomas into the ring and bloodies him with fists before hitting him with a chair and hitting his finisher the Fire Tornado (Modded Shooting Star Press)

Match 4: El Tiger vs. Kenny Omega
Omega was very over with the FUSE crowd and Tiger didn’t do too bad either. After facing top indy workers like PAC and Spud Tiger has improved ten-fold and he wasn’t even bad to begin with! Omega was hitting some crazy moves and Tiger fired back with some hurricanranas and some spins around Omega. A top kick to Tigers head sent sent Tiger dazed so Omega hit the Aoi Shoudou (Cross-legged fisherman buster) for the 3-count.
Winner: Kenny Omega

Intermission

Evan Pagano then walked out in a t-shirt and jeans and called me out. ‘Personal Jesus’ hit and I walked out, I jumped in the ring. He bragged about being the ‘Battle of the UK’ winner then asked me why I smacked him. I responded by telling him that when I was injured I watched his cocky ways and I always just wanted to enter the ring and whup his ass. Now I have the chance to do it. I went for a punch but Evan dodged, he took me down but I powered out and he reversed it. I flipped over him and slammed him in for a brainbuster then left.

Match 5: Nick Jacobs & Sam Kineval vs. American Airforce (Ace Bennet & Tom Gerrard)
The new tag team worked extremely well together, as if they had worked together for a while. After stereo suicide dives by the AmForce the crowd were well behind them. It helped as the fans also hated Jacobs and Kineval. After a clothesline by Gerrard knocked Jacobs out of the ring newcomer Bennett hit his finisher a sick looking Syracuse Dropped (Reverse Frankensteiner)
Winners: American Airforce (Ace Bennet & Tom Gerrard)

Afterwards Jacobs and Kineval started auguring, Jacobs then walked out on Kineval.

Match 6: Patrick R. Everson w) Edward Colgate vs. Roderick Strong
Everson had pretty much been built up as a amateur wrestling monster but Strong wanted to teach this guy a lesson. As the match started we saw some good back and forth action. Strong started to take advantage then hit some chops sending Everson’s chest red! Colgate then interfered allowing Everson to hit The Harvard Hangover (Brainbuster) to win the match.
Winner: Patrick R. Everson

At the entrance Jacob Ryler, Jack Powers & Mike Bockwinkel all stood hyping up their Steel Cage Warefare main event. Ryler said that Hammers has already lost his title now he is about to lose his body in the steel cage.

Match 7: New Age Lady Killers (Drew Parkland & Daniel Sinn) vs. Blue Meanie & Al Snow
The match started with the Lady Killers asking for some ladies instead the Blue Meanie walked out, this then started a DANCE-OFF which the Lady Killers won but then Meanie said the sides aren’t even so Al Snow came out! He then danced around for abit before starting the match. Snow put on great wrestling with both Lady Killers and Meanie…well danced quite a bit but the fans loved him. The Lady Killers then hit “Southern Stylin” to get the win. Afterwards both teams shook hands.
Winners: New Age Lady Killers (Drew Parkland & Daniel Sinn)

FUSE World Championship
Match 8: Henry Edwards vs. Nigel McGuinness
Like their previous classic encounter this was a great wrestling match. Some of the crowd even started to like Nigel due to his skill and chemistry with Edwards. No one was expected Nigel to win the belt but they just wanted it to carry on as this was a wrestling master piece. Edwards even hit multiple german suplexs maybe a tribute the last Chris Benoit who definitely has a influence on his work. Nigel went for the Towers of London but Edwards lifted him up and slammed him down. Edwards then locked in a crossface to make McGuinness tap out.
Winner and still FUSE champion: Henry Edwards

Steel Cage Warefare
Main Event: Revolution X (Chris Hammers, Jordan Devine & Safu) vs. Jacob Ryler, Jack Powers & Mike Bockwinkel
The match started with Devine and Bockwinkel inside the steel structure. They battled back and forth then Mike shoved Devine into the cage, busting him open! Safu then came in and started taking out Mike. A huge bodyslam looked to be the end for Mike but he was able to kick out. To Mike’s rescue came Jacob Ryler who started beating on Safu. Ryler looked over to Devine who was busted open and went to finish him with a Higher we go (Modded Perfect Plex) but Safu broke up the pinfall. Captain Chris Hammers then came out and started putting a beating into Ryler but Ryler was able to fight back until the numbers took control. Both Mike and Devine were basically out of the match but Safu kept the occasional beating to Mike. Then Jack Powers ran down but Amy-Lee who was on the outside knocked the referee down and put a lock on the cage. Powers was unable to enter the cage so instead he started to climb up it unknown to RevX. Then Powers drove off the top onto Hammers, Devine and Safu! Powers got up and hit Devine with a Backbreaker rack to eliminate Devine.

After Devine’s elimination Powers was ready to take out Safu but Hammers helped to take down Powers. Ryler tried to fight back but was worn down from earlier. After some double team by Hammers and Safu Powers was eliminated. Ryler was able to fight both Safu and Hammers and dive off the ropes with a Broken and Beaten (Diving guillotine leg drop) to eliminate Safu. Hammers and Ryler stood against each other, captain vs. captain. After minutes of intense battling, Ryler was bleeding from his arm and forehead. Hammers went for the end but Ryler took him down. Ryler went for his finisher Higher we go (Modded Perfect Plex) but from behind someone stopped him. This was his own teammate Mike Bockwinkel! He beat down Ryler and hit The Bockwinkel Special (Piledriver) on him allowing Hammers to pick up the win as Mike eliminated himself after leaving the cage.
Winners: Revolution X (Chris Hammers, Jordan Devine & Safu)

Mike Bockwinkel then entered back into the ring along with Safu. Amy-Lee then entered with a mic, which she passed to Hammers. Devine was receiving medical attention after his intense bleeding. Hammers told the crowd that Mike was the new member of Revolution X, this caused a riot as the fans threw rubbish into the ring (luckily the cage deflected most of the rubbish) Rev X then rushed out.

As the fans got up to leave ‘Personal Jesus’ hit once again and the fans returned to their seats I walked out while the cage was being taken down. I asked the FUSE roster to come out and everyone did (including Devine but no Pagano) I then started to speak from the heart:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, you think on our biggest show I wouldn’t come out here and give a little speech? (jokingly) You know we have been though alot of shows, from the UK to this very building! We have wrestled in front of a lot of crowds and I have something to say…thank you. Without you the crowd we wouldn’t be here and without your support we couldn’t keep running. But I would also like to thank those guys over there (points to the students) up until tonight I have called them students but now I see that these guys are not students but are now fully grown wrestlers. These guys are now getting bookings in Japan, Britain and Canada and they’re putting on amazing performances, so please give them a round of applause. Well I know you don’t want to hear he chatting on but I have one more thing to say. I am know at 100% health meaning its time to get back into the ring but know the badside. You may have heard about ROH’s International tour, well I have been asked to tour with them…and I’ve accepted. So I have decided to leave FUSE. That’s why I wanted everyone out here tonight just to tell you. Thank you so much, thank you.

Then I looked around I expected a ‘you sold out chant’ but I looked around and everyone was standing clapping their hands. “Thank you Aries” chant started up then I saw the nicest sight I have seen in all my years in wrestling. Not only the crowd were chanting and clapping but so were the wrestlers. After this the wrestlers entered and gave their goodbyes.

Austin Aries

Yesterday we were given word that FUSE is to be reborn! FUSE was a small trainee promotion built up by Austin Aries but then as time went on the students became fully grown wrestlers. Aries then left FUSE after accepting to attend the ROH International tour leaving the students to go their separate ways.

Former students have spread across the globe to start a new chapter in their wrestling career. The most well known of the former FUSE students is Chris Hammers the first ever FUSE World Champion. He is now seen around the US indy circuit. The last ever World champion was Henry Edwards who you might have seen jobbing on Smackdown two weeks ago. Meanwhile in Japan the team named ‘The New Age Lady Killers’ has been tearing it up and recently winning the IWGP Tag Team Championships.

Yesterday at 8:00pm a message was sent to us with the news that FUSE is to hold a show in one week. The show is titled ‘As the Phoenix Rises’ and is said to feature nearly all of former students. The person who sent us this was only credited as ‘Owner X’ and told us he would reveal himself at the next show.

Owner X also told us that the card would be announced this week. He also said that FUSE will be re-named as ‘with a new era comes a new name.’ Owner X ended his message by telling us that this promotion will have a development system so they can build up a new batch of wrestlers for the future.
