Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

Riot Act 2

We are in the sold out FUSE Arena just 24 hours after SNW’s Award Ceremony lets hope the wrestlers didn’t drink too much last night as we’ve been promised some amazing matches in what has been dubbed ‘SNW’s biggest event ever’

Students Cup
Dark Match: Mike Hogan vs. X Jack
Very strange match here as Hogan was meant to face Zane Taylor who SNW have replaced with newcomer X Jack. Nothing is known about him apart from a short promo on the last show. It was back and forth contest nothing special but as Jack’s in ring debut it was pretty good. As Hogan is about to hit the Curb Stomp, Zeke and Vincent Valentino distract him leading to a quick roll up by X Jack!
Winner and New Students Cup Holder: X Jack

X Jack quickly exits to the outside as Hogan is shocked by the win. The Dawning celebrate with their new gold as the dark show comes to end. A short and cheap display of fireworks go off and Re-Education (Though Labour) blasts though the loud speakers signalling the start of Riot Act II.

Match 1: The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant and Solider Ant) and Assassin vs. F.I.S.T (Gran Akuma, Icarus and Chuck Taylor) and Nick Jacobs
If you haven’t been following Chikara the Colony and F.I.S.T have been feuding. Both teams put on the perfect opener to warm up the crowd with highflying action and some solid mat wrestling. Jacobs continued to shout out and started slapping himself. In the end The Colony hit the Ant Hill on Jacobs for the 3 count.
Winners: The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant and Solider Ant) and Assassin

Shown backstage was Chris Hammers, he talked about his title match tonight and his alliance with Mike Bockwinkel, he said he has no problems in taking the title off him. He also said tonight is all about change.

Match 2: AirDevils (Tom Gerard & Carson Clark) vs. The Real Hart Foundation (Kevin & Gavin Hart)
Another amazing highflying match much better than their previous match on SNW TV due to having much more time. Both teams could be future Duo Champions. These teams suited perfectly together and Kevin Hart shinned once again. After a Diving Headbutt/ 450 Splash combo the Harts had their arms raised in victory.
Winner: The Real Hart Foundation (Kevin & Gavin Hart)

Mike Bockwinkel was backstage with Revolution X stable mates LyNN and Safu. Bockwinkel shows signs of going crazy as he talks about Chris Hammers in the end he snaps and says that he doesn’t care about LyNN or Safu’s matches tonight and everyone should concentrate on the Main Event to make sure he doesn’t lose. Safu and LyNN disagree by walking out on him leaving him alone.

Match 3: Evan Pagano vs. Safu
This match could have been placed up the card but this match hadn’t had much build to it so their keeping the bigger rivalry matches till later on. Nothing special just a standard match with Safu using his power and Pagano battling back with his agility and techniqual ability. Eventually Pagano put Safu down with the SickKick.
Winner: Evan Pagano

The New Age Lady Killers are backstage they hype up their match against Youth Culture later on. Sinn says that their gonna get their Duo Titles back and Parkland adds then their going to Disneyland!

Match 4: Patrick Everson vs. Bret Thomas
The match didn’t officially start for a while as Thomas attacked Everson and threw him into the crowd. After throwing each other into walls the two took the action into the ring. Due to all the emotion Thomas didn’t want to mat wrestle and just brawled against Everson who brawled back which turned this into a slugfest with takedowns. In the end Thomas pulled out amazing strength to pick up Everson and drill him with the Hammer's Fall (Gory Rack Piledriver)
Winner: Bret Thomas

Thomas finally got his revenge on Everson he took his time getting to the back while the Students and staff set up for the Kagemann Deathmatch.

Kagemann Rules Deathmatch
Match 5: Steven Kagemann vs. Jacob Ryler
Possibly the best Kagemann Deathmatch ever, Kagemann was ontop form taking some insanely sick bumps including a powerbomb onto a barbed wire board, a fall off the top rope into mousetraps and multiple barbed wire shots. Surprisingly Ryler went hardcore and took some sick bumps as well which left both men bloody. In the end Kagemann hit the DeathDrive (Here We Go Driver) off a box though a table with lightubes.
Winner: Steven Kagemann

Intermission. The Students and staff came out again to stretcher Ryler out and clean around and inside the ring. Kagemann left by himself again not accepting any help. Even pulling a large piece of glass from his arm. The Ring Announcer said that SNW will be returning to the FUSE Arena in October for their Anniversary Show.

Match 6: Jack Powers vs. LyNN
The complete opposite of the last match as this turned out to be a techniqual masterpiece. As previously reported Powers was planned to face Bryan Danielson in a dream match but Danielson couldn’t attend. Instead we had this match which turned out to be damn good. LyNN has been improving ever since he debuted and is a now could be considered for future World title shots if he keeps this up. All were shocked after the first Power Suplex (Modded Tiger Suplex) didn’t end the match, they were even more shocked when LyNN managed to reach the ropes while in the Choke-Out (Rear Naked Choke) however Powers then hit the Power Suplex again and locked in the Choke-Out once more which made the referee call for the bell as LyNN had been knocked out.
Winner: Jack Powers

SNW Duo Champions, Youth Culture were backstage. Kineval did most of the talking (as always) and said that everyone thinks that the Lady Killers are the best tag team in SNW but tonight they prove the world wrong once again.

FUSE Championship
Match 7: Ace Bennett vs. Jordan Devine
A good match but nothing special, on any other night it would have been a good upper-midcard match. They had a lot to follow up after a techniqual masterpiece and what promises to be two classic matches afterward. The ending came when Bennett has a One Legged Boston Crab locked in and Alicia Bennett ran out begging the referee to stop the match for Jordan. Ace told Alicia to go backstage but she didn’t and slapped Ace in the face Jordan took advantage with a school boy for a very close 3 but Ace kicked out rolled backwards and ran at Jordan hitting the Shinning Wizard.
Winner and Still FUSE Champion: Ace Bennett

After the match Alicia entered the ring to tend to Jordan as Ace looked on with his title. Ace then turned around and was slapped again by his sister, she went to slap him a again but this time he caught it. Jordan then attacked Ace from behind but Jason Williams made his return running down to the ring and knocking Devine out of the ring. Williams and Bennett then celebrated in the ring. We then went backstage with Henry Edwards who cut a quick promo about the main event and why he will win the SNW World Championship.

SNW Duos Championships
Match 8: Youth Culture (Sam Kineval & Matt Spade) vs. New Age Lady Killers (Daniel Sinn & Drew Parkland)
The best tag match in SNW/FUSE history all four men came ready for war and that’s exactly what happened. With multiple near falls and some amazing double team moves it just goes to show why SNW has such a strong tag division. Spade seemed slightly like the weak link in this but the others helped and hid his weaknesses. After pushing Spade off the top to the outside the Killers hit the Pin Pointer on Kineval for an unbelievably close 3 count. Kineval fought back sending Sinn to the outside and hitting the Chaos Death Shot (Reverse Gutbuster) but was broken up by Sinn who then hit the Original Sinn (Tiger Driver 91) only for Spade to break it up. After more action Youth Culture hit thier tag finisher, Adulthood (Elevated Cutter) on Sinn for the three count.
Winners and Still Duos Champions: Youth Culture (Sam Kineval & Matt Spade)

After the match Youth Culture stayed on their knees in the ring too exhausted to get up while Parkland crawled over to check on his partner. The fans then re-started up their ‘SNW’ chant from earlier in the match. The main event was up next and Chris Hammers came out first as the fans boo’ed following him came Henry Edwards who marched to the ring with his eyes fixed on Hammers. Then the Champ came out, Bockwinkel walked out to a chorus of boo’s with Amy-Lee with a big frown on his face.

SNW World Championship
Main Event: Mike Bockwinkel vs. Henry Edwards vs. Chris Hammers
Some thought this couldn't follow the last match but this match topped it getting MOTN and also a possible MOTYC. The fans were electric all the way though the match with chants of ‘SNW’, ‘Lets Go Edwards’ and ‘This is Awesome.’ At the start it was Bockwinkel and Hammers teaming up on Edwards, Hammers was even letting Bockwinkel have the pins but none could put away Edwards. Edwards then fought back sending Hammers to the outside and working on Bockwinkel even hitting a Backdrop Driver for a close 3. Edwards locked in the Crossface numerous times on both opponents but it was always broken up. The turning point came when it looked to be the end for Edwards after getting a Last Minute Orders (Sit out Spinebuster) from Hammers. Hammers then allowed Bockwinkel to get the pin then broke it up at two. Hammers then went ballistic on Bockwinkel even following him to the outside to boot his head against the barricade. No one expected Edwards to flip over the top rope onto Hammers. The action continued past 30 minutes which was meant to be the time limit but there had to be a winner. Edwards then hit the H.E. Driver (Double Underhook brainbuster) on Hammers only to turn around and get hit by The Bockwinkel Special: Championship Edition (Package Piledriver) however he was able to reverse it into a Crossface, Bockwinkel soon submitted.
Winner and New SNW World Champion: Henry Edwards

Looking at the time the match had gone just over 40 minutes mark and the fans were still wanting more. Edwards then celebrated with the title before Safu and LyNN ran out which Edwards avoided and left. Back in the ring Safu, LyNN and Amy-Lee were tending to Bockwinkel. As Bockwinkel was getting up Hammers went over to him and offered a handshake, instead of shaking it Bockwinkel spat on his hand and ordered Safu and LyNN to attack him. The two walked up to him then turned around and stood behind him signalling that they’re with Hammers. Bockwinkel turned to Amy who also joined Hammers, in a complete shock Bockwinkel just stared at Hammers. Hammers then hit the Last Minute Orders on Bockwinkel leaving him down on the floor. Hammers walked out with Safu, LyNN and Amy-Lee once again as the leader of Revolution X.

SNW held their second ever Riot Act show yesterday and already SNW are calling it a huge success. The show had a lot to live up to after SNW calling it ‘SNW’s biggest event ever’ but it lived up to the hype. All is going well in SNW with good shows, good talent and good relationships (with Chikara and Dragon Gate)

During Intermission the SNW ring announcer said that SNW will be returning to the FUSE Arena in October where they will hold their anniversary show celebrating one year since Austin Aries started up FUSE. Expect this to be another great show from SNW.

As previously reported Mike Bockwinkel was set to face his fathers rival Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler at a Legends Convention. However this was delayed for a week and happened one week before Riot Act II. Jerry Lawler won the match after a Piledriver although reports say Bockwinkel carried most of the match.

Also reported SNW Owner Zachary Miller said that we should be looking out for Ace Bennett, Sam Kineval and Nick Jacobs as they are expected to be receiving pushes. Bennett and Kineval are currently doing well as FUSE and Duo Champions respectively. Jacobs has been losing lately due to his strange in ring behaviour.

The reason behind suddenly putting the Students Cup on newcomer X Jack is due to Zane Taylors sudden departure from SNW after a backstage argument. Taylor was suppost to take the cup but due to his leave X Jack took his place. Another reason is because SNW want Mike Hogan to be called up so they would want to take the cup off him.

Who Needs TV Anyway

Dark Match: Your Mom (Cody Rejaro & Baz Hepburn) vs. DJ Falcon and Chris Tully
The Students of the Snow Wrestling Academy kick off with a dark match, Your Mom is great (lol) they can work the crowd well now as faces although Baz could do some improving in the ring. DJ was also ok but Chris still seems very basic in the ring. Baz got the win with the BAZuka (Inverted Overdrive)
Winners: Your Mom (Cody Rejaro & Baz Hepburn)

The main show then started with Re-Education (Though Labour) playing before being cut for the music of New SNW World Champion Henry Edwards who comes to the ring in jeans and t-shirt, the crowd is loving the new champ.

Edwards: I told you I would do it, I told you I would win the belt and now over my shoulder I have the SNW World Championship one more time and this time I intend to hold it much longer. Riot Act II had to be the defining moment of my career thus far I had the fans screaming my name and was stuck in the ring with the two of the men I wanted to get a good thrashing. Thank you everyone its been a long journey back to gold but it paid off in the end.

Match 1: El Tiger vs. Mike Hogan
Mike Hogan making his SNW debut after being called up from SWA and he had to face the masked luchadore. Hogan played a heel but didn’t show it much, the match went back and forth with many big impact moves. In the end Tiger got a surprise roll-up on the newbie.
Winner: El Tiger

Tiger exited to the outside while Hogan started complaining to the referee, a good debut for Hogan. Out came Daniel Sinn alone but don’t worry he was announced as one half of the Lady Killers.

Match 2: Daniel Sinn vs. Nick Jacobs
The match started off quite even with Jacobs seemingly stopping his strange antics (apart from his entrance) Then around the 7 minutes mark Jacobs started shouting again looking up and acting strange. Sinn took advantage of this with an Original Sinn (Tiger Driver 91)
Winner: Daniel Sinn

After Sinn had left Nick Jacobs remained in the ring on his knees shouting up ‘He’s Coming’ then started smacking his head on the canvas before the referee and students helped him backstage.

Match 3: Drew Parkland vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Assassin
The other half of the Lady Killers was in this match looking for a win of his own, in his way was a injured looking Kagemann and the masked Assassin. Kagemann was mostly the man hurt on the outside due to his injuries from the Kagemann Deathmatch. The end came when Parkland hit the K.F.C. (Assault Driver) only to be thrown out of the ring by Kagemann who got the pin on Assassin.
Winner: Steven Kagemann

Kagemann then limped to the back after his sneaky win. After the ring was cleared the ring announcer called a Duos Title Match. Two Chikara regulars Helios and Lince Dorado came out to try and take the belts.

Duos Championship
Match 4: Youth Culture (Sam Kineval & Matt Spade) vs. The Future Is Now (Helios & Lince Dorado)
Some may be surprised at the positioning on the card of this match but as shown before the Duo’s title can Main Event a show but this was just used to give Youth Culture another title defence. It was in no way a squash but everyone knew the Chikara team wasn’t taking the belts but they enjoyed the match. After a Adulthood (Elevated Cutter) on Helios it was all over.
Winners and Still Duo Champions: Youth Culture (Sam Kineval & Matt Spade)

Intermission. The Future Is Now remained around ringside signing and taking photographs. As Intermission ended the new look Revolution X with Chris Hammers up front came to the ring.

Hammers: Tonight we take back what Revolution X is all about for months now it has been a disgrace with Mike Bockwinkel as leader but now Revolution X is back. Mike made the idiotic mistake of only caring about himself when he needs to look at what he got…or had. Safu, the ultimate big guy can either destroy you with his strength or show you how a 300 pounder flies and LyNN, the best techniqual wrestler SNW has ever seen and no doubt one day he’ll hold the big gold. So now with this new era of Revolution X we have one main goal, complete domination.

Match 5: Revolution X (Safu & LyNN) vs. AirDevils (Carson Clark & Tom Gerard)
It’s a same the AirDevils were jobbed out as they can put on good matches as proved at Riot Act II however RevX needed a good tag win to put them back into contention for the Duos titles. After a Samoan Drop from Safu and a Bridging German Suplex by LyNN the AirDevils were done and RevX were back in the race for the Duo Titles.
Winners: Revolution X (Safu & LyNN)

After the match Hammers raised both mens arms and shouted ‘Complete Domination’ as the crowd boo’ed.

Match 6: Ace Bennet & Jason Williams vs. Jordan Devine & Patrick Everson
This match came about after Bennett beating Devine at Riot Act II then getting attacked but saved by Williams. The odds were against the FUSE Champ and his daredevil friend as the mighty Everson was in the opposite corner and it wasn’t just Alicia Bennett in Devine’s corner but Everson’s manager Patrick Colgate returning managing after commentating the TV shows. It seems as if SNW are setting up a Williams/Devine feud in the end Ace got the pinfall on Devine after a Syracuse Dropped (Reverse Frankensteiner)
Winners: Ace Bennet & Jason Williams

After friends Ace and Jason left Everson blamed Devine for the loss but Devine won’t accept it was his fault so the monster gave Devine a The Harvard Hangover (Brainbuster) for getting in his way.

Match 7: Jack Powers vs. Bret Thomas
A big match for Thomas it was good booking on SNW’s part after his feud with Everson. Thomas has been catapulted into the Upper-Midcard section and this match showed he can hang with the best. The two men shook each others hands before the match started then started their techniqual masterpiece think of it like a young Danielson against a powerhouse Kurt Angle. Great match easily Thomas’ best match thus far however he fell victim to the Choke-Out (Rear Naked Choke) and tapped soon after.
Winner: Jack Powers

After the match Powers helped Thomas off the canvas and raised his arm resulting in a standing applause from the crowd. Special guest Austin Aries then strutted to the ring with the ROH World Title around his waist and even called a cameraman to hold the ropes for him like in ROH.

Main Event: Austin Aries vs. Jacob Ryler
A strange main event as Ryler wasn’t 100% after his Kagemann Deathmatch as a result Aries was in control for nearly the entire match. Aries just kicked away at Ryler’s injuries. After spurts of offence Ryler was put away by a Brainbuster, which Aries covered without even hooking the leg.
Winner: Austin Aries

Aries then demanded his title before kicking Ryler out of the ring. However Former SNW World Champion Mike Bockwinkel came out with SNW Owner Zachary Miller.

Bockwinkel: Good to see you back Mr. Aries
Austin: Please Mike, call me Austin
Bockwinkel: Well Austin Mr. Miller and I were backstage watching the match and we were rather impressed.
Austin: Well Mike when you book Double A you know your going to get the best.
Bockwinkel: Indeed, we were so impressed that Mr. Miller would like to offer you to return next week
Austin: Well sorry Mike but as ROH World Champion I…
Bockwinkel: For the title
Austin: …Which title?
Bockwinkel: SNW World Championship
Austin: (Pause) Oh right I got what you guys are doing, you just want the title off Edwards as quickly as possible so you booked Double A so you could ask him if he would whup Edwards a**, right?
Bockwinkel: Do you accept?

Aries looks around then looks over as Bockwinkel extends his hand ready to be shaken.

Austin: How can I refuse, I accept

The three shake hands and talk off the mic as the fans boo until Henry Edwards music plays and he walks out from the entrance with his SNW World Championship.

Edwards: So what’s the matter Mike? You too frightened to face me one-on-one? You gotta bring in someone else to do your handywork?

Bockwinkel goes to talk but Aries stops him as if to say ‘I got this’

Aries: If anyone is frightened its you, why else would you run out from backstage and try to get out of the match?
Edwards: What you on about Aries? Why would I be frightened?
Aries: Why? (laughs) Edwards your laughable, seriously I’m the current ROH World Champion the only ever 2 time ROH World Champion, I’ve won battles around the world I’m not a star I’m the star, A Double, Austin Aries. So I’ll tell you why you should be frightened little boy because I taught you and everyone else back in that locker room everything they know so next week, I’m gonna take your title.

The show ends with Edwards now looking at Aries possibly frightened at the task of facing him while Miller and Bockwinkel smile knowing they picked the right man to dethrone Edwards.
