Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

SNW has also mentioned Bryan Danielson’s signing on their website wishing him the best of luck in the future from all of SNW. Even though Danielson never competed in SNW he was planned to face Jack Powers in a Indy Dream Match at Riot Act 2 however now it seems as if this match will remain a dream.

News is coming in today that Patrick Everson has left SNW, the former Main Eventer was recently removed from SNW roster page. Everson crashed into SNW destroying Petey the Pirate he soon grew to be a top man in SNW having 3 classic battles with Jack Powers. Everson then went on to challenge for the World Title numerous times and even face Tyler Black in a losing battle. Recently Everson feuded with Bret Thomas and launched him up the cards. At the moment it is unclear why Everson left SNW.

The teaming involving Zachary Miller, Austin Aries and Mike Bockwinkel has now been named the Gentlemen’s Club. The stable also contains Aries’ ROH buddies Rhett Titus and Kenny King who are expected to stay with SNW while this storyline continues and the newest addition Robert the Bodyguard aka Big Bob from Development.

The Young Lions Cup happened two weekends ago and it including SNW talent Jason Williams and Ace Bennett, Jason lost his match while Ace was able to advance however in the Main Event Bennett was second eliminated after a RKO from Colin Delaney. Then in the third night the two teamed up and won in the second match of the night.

Best of Duos
6 Weeks To Go

Kevin Steen & El Generico
OLE OLE OLE OLE, the Canadian ROH team comes to SNW! ‘Mr. Wrestling’ and ‘The Generic Luchadore’ enter as the 11th team in the Best of Duos Tournament. Both men have had a good singles career but when these unlikely partners teamed up everything seemed to click. By combining their finishers they came up with a deadly combo a Package Piledriver into a Brainbuster. However these two will have to face teams they have never faced before, how will they fare?
Odds: 1:7

The Colony: Fire Ant & Solider Ant
Coming straight from Chikara comes every bodies favourite wrestling ants. Come Best of the Duos Fire and Solider Ant will leave the Ant Nest and come to SNW. Fire Ant and Solider Ant are the original ants of Chikara along with the now retired Worker Ant. Together the two are a strong unit but both men ants have proven they can wrestle as well in singles competiton with Fire Ant even winning the Young Lions Cup, they have appeared in SNW before but like Steenerico they are in the unknown.
Odds: 1:20

Laugh Out Louder

Students Cup
Dark Match: X Jack vs. Cody Rejaro
X Jack is still pretty new in SNW and hasn’t done anything to show himself off yet but this match built up Jack well. Jack still needs more time in development before being called up but will be a good worker once he’s finished. Rejaro is ready to be called up although it would make sense for him to wait for his tag partner Baz Hepburn to bring Your Mom to SNW. Baz did a good job on the outside as Cody wrestled but X Jack pulled out a sunset flip with his feet on the ropes to retain.
Winner and Still Students Cup Holder: X Jack

After the match Baz entered the ring and tried to tell the referee about Jack’s legs being on the rope but Jack’ s stable-mates Zeke and Vincent ran out and beat down both members of Your Mom. After all had left the main show began with Rise Against playing though the speakers. Former SWA student Mike Hogan came down in a Chikara shirt with a big red line across the logo.

Hogan: As you may know last week I declared war on Chikara. I challenged any Chikara wrestler to meet me in this ring and see if they can beat SNW’s finest, Mike Hogan.

Mike Hogan Chikara Challenge
Mike Hogan vs. Frightmare
This week Hogan’s challenger was the masked Frightmare from Sleepy Hollow who is slightly smaller than Hogan. Hogan is starting to build up a strong repertoire of moves including a new jumping leg lariat. Hogan picked up the win in this fairly short opener with a Springboard Elbow Drop.
Winner: Mike Hogan

Afterwards Hogan challenged some crowd members to step into the ring before going back to Frightmare and hitting the Futurism (Spinning Belly to Belly Piledriver) He then went to pull of his mask but his tag partner Hallowicked ran out making the save.

Match 2: Jacob Ryler vs. Kevin Hart
Hart brought out Gavin with him to ringside who cheered him on throughout the match even trying to get a ‘Canada’ chant which resulted in a USA chant instead. Ryler is just being used to put over workers now while looking still a threat. He controlled 60 percent of the match but fell to a Sharpshooter which he couldn’t reach the ropes as Gavin pulled them away.
Winner: Kevin Hart

Edward Colgate then came to the ring once everyone had left in a suit, he had a microphone in hand.

Colgate: Ladies and Gentlemen I request that everyone pulls out your diaries for this moment because you may want to write this down. Next week Edward Colgate…yes that’s me! Will introduce to you my new young prospect whom I will manage straight to the top of SNW and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop me.

Match 3: Steven Kagemann vs. El Tiger
Squash match to put over Kagemann, he hit a few moves ending in a powerbomb onto his knees before a man ran out and attacked Kagemann causing a DQ.
Winner by DQ: Steven Kagemann

The man had Kagemann down and started laying into him before Kagemann exited to the outside. The man then stood up to reveal himself as Evan Pagano who then took the mic.

Pagano: This is your fault Kagemann. We were two different rockets on two different courses there was no need for our paths to cross but who managed to crash into me. For some sick reason you wanted to destroy me but all I got to say is you gotta do a whole lot better than that! So now we’ve got a match as our Anniversary Show, One. No ordinary match and not your specialty match instead we will go head-to head in a Ladder Match. It may sound strange why we would face each other in this speciality but ever since SNW started I wanted one thing, the SNW World Title and at One hanging 25 feet in the air will be a contract stipulating whoever wins gets a shot at the World Title.

Kagemann is seem nodding his head and licking his lips next the entrance far away from Pagano.

Pagano: There’s an old saying Kagemann that goes, ‘kill two birds with one stone’ and at One I plan on doing exactly that.

Match 4: Matt Spade vs. Bret Thomas
Spade finally got a chance to shine from under Kineval’s spotlight but Sam was still there at ringside and even picked up the mic to shout ‘Shut Up!’ to part of the crowd chanting ‘Kineval Sucks Balls’ Thomas controlled much of the match keeping the future bright for himself hitting a ScrewDriver (Cradleshock) for the three count.
Winner: Bret Thomas

Intermission. While leaving Sam Kineval saw a New Age Lady Killers sign and took it into the ring with him. Kineval then threw it to the floor and elbow dropped it, then suplexed it and then hit a top rope moonsault onto the cardboard. A small section of the crowd sarcastically chanted ‘This is Awesome!’

After Intermission had ended the group of Aries, Miller, Bockwinkel, Titus and their new bodyguard Robert walked out. They were announced under their new name of The Gentlemen’s Club, Kenny King was missing obviously preparing for his FUSE Title Match tonight.

Aries: Last week the SNW locker room showed no respect as they caused my loss. They had no right coming out to my match last week. So from now on we, the Gentlemen’s Club aim to make sure that only the elite are representatives of this fine company the business I built up and the business Miller owns today. From now on if anyone steps out of line we’re here to put them back in.

As he stops Jack Powers comes out much to the applause of the fans, he slides into the ring and is given a mic.

Powers: Step out of line? If anyone is stepping out of line its you bunch of idiots.
Bockwinkel: How dare you interrupt us, we…
Powers: You aim to put people back in line if they step out right?
Aries: Yes…so?
Power: I’m stepping out!

Powers then strikes Aries who goes down then hits Bockwinkel who also hits the mat. Robert runs at Powers but he holds down the ropes sending him over meanwhile Titus helps Miller to the outside. On the outside the Gentlemen’s Club regroup they talk off mic for a little before Aries sends Rhett Titus into the ring. A referee runs down and we have a match.

Match 5: Jack Powers vs. Rhett Titus
A good showing by both men the match was mostly controlled by Powers with Titus getting the advantage anytime any member of the Gentlemen’s Club got involved along with is trademark pelvic thrusts. Powers took a dive to the outside onto Bockwinkel and Robert then entered back into finish Titus off hitting the Power Suplex (Modded Tiger Suplex) and then locking in the Choke-Out (Rear Naked Choke) but Aries ran in breaking up the hold.
Winner by DQ: Jack Powers

Aries then stomped away on Powers before the rest of the Gentlemen’s Club re-entered the ring.

Miller: I think now would be a good time to announce Henry Edwards’s challenger for the World Title at One. Ladies and Gentlemen at our first Anniversary show Henry Edwards will be facing Mike Bockwinkel!
Aries: I got something to add Zach, how about Austin Aries gets on the card as well… facing Jack Powers.
Miller: If that’s what you want then you got it
Aries: Oh I want it all right

Falls Count Anywhere
Match 6: New Age Lady Killers (Daniel Sinn and Drew Parkland) vs. Revolution X (Safu & LyNN)
This is a re-match from last week where RevX wan after Youth Culture came to ringside. Again this was a good match between two of SNW’s top teams although this match had a hardcore element. Not many weapons were used apart from a chair and a table which LyNN was sent though, the match played more on the FCA stip and fought all across the arena trying to get the pin. In the end Parkland drove off the seating area about 15 feet high onto everyone.
Winner: No Contest

Chris Hammers helped his team to the back while Parkland was taken out on a stretcher and Sinn was helped to the back.

FUSE Championship
Main Event: Ace Bennett vs. Kenny King
No-one was at ringside for King so the match was fair and even with close falls and some great wrestling. Both men pulled out all the stops for this match and is Ace’s best match in SNW to date beating his match with Bret Thomas. King reversed the Syracuse Dropped (Reverse Frankensteiner) by turning it into a top rope Piledriver luckily the impact caused Bennet to roll to the outside otherwise Bennett’s reign would have been over. In the end King tried for his second Kings Coronation but Bennett rolled him up then floated over for the pin.
Winner and Still FUSE Champion: Ace Bennett

After the match the fans gave the two a standing ovation and Bennett eventually offered a handshake to King. King rejected and turned around only to spin around with a kick to Bennett’s head. King then held the FUSE Championship but Jason Williams ran to his aid, which scared King off. Jason helped Ace to his feet as King made an exit but part of the Gentlemen’s Club came out.

Miller: I just had an idea, how about at our first anniversary show we have the first ever tag team match for the FUSE Championship. Ace Bennett will team up with Jason Williams to face Kenny King and Rhett Titus who ever scores the pinfall will leave with the FUSE Championship.

King is smiling as Titus joins him while Jason and Ace look on from the ring.


Best of Duos
6 Weeks To Go

The Gentlemen’s Club: Mike Bockwinkel & Austin Aries
The newly named Gentlemen’s Club enters the Best of the Duos Tournament hoping to show their power over SNW. Bockwinkel and Aries first joined when Aries returned to SNW, it was Bockwinkel who got Aries a title shot. Together with the current SNW Owner Zachary Miller they started to take control of SNW and now renamed themselves the Gentlemen’s Club. However these two have a lack of experience but they are both Former and Current World Champions?
Odds: 1:12

Super Smash Brothers: Player Uno & Player Dos
The video game team come to SNW again in a quest to become the Best of Duos 2009 like Mario trying to save his Princess from the evil Donkey Kong or just two guys in lucha masks trying to win a tag tournament. The 8 Bit Luchadore and the recently crowned Young Lions Cup Holder from Chikara have appeared in SNW but hope for a better appearance this time round. Although it is unlikely they will win they could be dark horse in the competition.
Odds: 1:15

Exorcism

Dark Match: Maxx Blaze vs. Arthur Williams
Not much of a match due to Blaze being quite bad he pauses when in the ring and uses the same moves numerous times during the match. Arthur brought back the match and could be called up anytime soon with his British charisma and trademark European uppercuts he was able to pick up the win.
Winner: Arthur Williams

Rise Against music is cut short this week as SNW Owner Zachary Miller walks out along with the official bodyguard for Robert. He gives the same old promo hyping up the Gentlemen’s Club before…

Miller: Another point I would like to raise is about the current FUSE Champion, Ace Bennett. I don’t know why you continue to cheer for this man he must be the luckiest man alive for holding onto the title for this long but now his luck has ran out.

Ace Bennett then walks out in street clothes and as always the fans go wild he hops into the ring and shows his FUSE title to the crowd.

Bennett: Sorry Miller did you say luck because I think some of these fans disagree with you.
Miller: Does it really matter what the fans think
Bennett: I think your forgetting Miller that without them we would all be out of a job
Miller: Speak for yourself, anyway I came out here to inform you and your little friends, the audience that you will be in action tonight
Bennett: You said this was my day off, I haven’t got my gear
Miller: Do you think I care?
Bennett: Well who am I up against?

Miller points behind Bennett to Robert who lifts the much smaller Bennett into a Gutwrench Powerbomb and slams him to the mat. Miller and Robert then leave and Jason Williams runs down to check on his friend. After they had left Edward Colgate walks to the ring.

Colgate: Last week I told you I would bring the most destructive force in the world to SNW well I lied. Instead I have brought the two most destructive forces in the world, Beast and Jugg!

Match 1: Beast and Jugg vs. El Tiger and Assassin
Both Beast and Jugg looked like absolute monsters both very tall and powerfull. Assassin never got tagged in and was met by a big boot to take him out off the apron. Tiger sold very well for the new team who took him out with the Utter Destruction.
Winners: Beast and Jugg

Colgate then entered the ring to celebrate with his new clients who will be a force to be reckoned with in the tag division. Once the ring was cleared Mike Hogan came out with his anti-Chikara shirt but did no promo.

Mike Hogan Chikara Challenge
Match 2: Mike Hogan vs. Hallowicked
This match came about after last week where Hogan beat up Wicked’s tag partner however this match was much better and went longer. Hallowicked is very underrated and as a result made this a very interesting bout. Definitely a milestone in Hogan’s young career finishing Wicked off with a Springboard Elbow Drop followed by a Futurism (Spinning Belly to Belly Piledriver)
Winner: Mike Hogan

Hogan looked a little shocked to have won and lifts up his fingers signalling 3:0 in his Chikara Challenge.

Match 3: Evan Pagano vs. Jordan Devine
Pagano controlled most of this match although we did see some good back and forth wrestling between the two. Alicia Bennett was at ringside and caused a distraction throughout the match and even distracted the referee after Pagano hit the Calling (Quackendriver III) After dealing with Alicia, Pagano hit a second calling on a weak Devine to score the win.
Winner: Evan Pagano

We go backstage for a DVD and YouTube exclusive where Zachary Miller is in his office with Robert the Bodyguard close behind. SNW World Champ Henry Edwards barges in and Robert gets in his face.

Miller: Lets hear him out Robert

Robert steps aside and Edwards takes a seat opposite Miller.

Miller: What do you want Edwards?
Edwards: I want to know who my tag partner is for Best of Duos
Miller: Tag Partner?
Edwards: Yeah you know the guy I tag with, I thought even you would understand that
Miller: To be honest with you I didn’t have you booked after the beatings you get from Bockwinkel at One I doubt you’ll ever want to step into the ring again.
Edwards: Just book me in, I'll be there with my SNW World Championship

Edwards then goes to leave but Robert stands in the way after an brief stand-off between the two Robert moves allowing Edwards to leave.

Miller: I’ve got the perfect partner for him

Match 4: Bret Thomas vs. Steven Kagemann
The old feud was rekindled as these former rivals faced off. These two have come along way since the first show where they teamed up together now they are both on the rise in SNW. Thomas continued with a brutish technical style while Kagemann kept to kicks and high flying moves. Not a classic match between the two but a good match, Thomas caught Kagemann in a T-Bone Suplex and slammed him to the mat. Kagemann had enough and brought in a ladder.
Winner by DQ: Bret Thomas

After the match Kagemann hit Thomas with the ladder then hit the DeathDrive (Here We Go Driver) onto the ladder. Evan Pagano then ran down and the two went to strikes but Kagemann started lose so he left via the crowd. Intermission. The big 6-man tag match was announced for the main event.

SNW Duos Champions Youth Culture come out, Sam is in street gear while Matt is ready to compete.

Kineval: For some strange reason we have been told that we will be defending our titles against both the New Age Lady Killers and Revolution X at our Anniversary show. To top this off a match has been made tonight that a competitor from each team will face off tonight in a triple threat match. Well tonight we will prove like we will at One that Youth Culture always come out on top.

Match 5: Matt Spade vs. Drew Parkland vs. LyNN
All the tag team partners were at ringside along with Hammers and Amy Lee supporting LyNN. An ok match in which all three put on a good show but nothing special enough to write about apart from the tower of doom with Spade being launched across the ring. LyNN got the win cleanly with a Small Package on Spade.
Winner: LyNN

Match 6: Ace Bennet vs. Robert the Bodyguard
Roberts first match in SNW but it was cut short. They started to circle the ring and Bennett stuck to kicks to the big man only for Kenny King to run out and cause a DQ after less than two minutes of action.
Winner: Ace Bennett via DQ

Jason Williams once again ran down before any damage could be done and scared off both Robert and King. Zachary Miller then came out and restarted the match but now in a tag team match.

Match 7: Ace Bennet and Jason Williams vs. Kenny King and Robert the Bodyguard
An ok match and was fairly high paced with Ace, Jason and King all being in one match. This was a preview for One only Rhett Titus will be replacing Robert. When Robert entered he dominated due to his size. Robert was taken out as Jason went on all fours and Ace used him as a step up to dropkick Robert off the apron then pin King following a standing moonsault/ Shooting Star Leg Drop combo.
Winners: Ace Bennet and Jason Williams

King and Robert soon exited with King swearing that he will win at One, back in the ring Bennett and Williams held up the FUSE title together showing they can work well as a team.

Main Event: Gentlemen’s Club (Austin Aries, Rhett Titus and Mike Bockwinkel) vs. Henry Edwards, Jack Powers and Jacob Ryler
A slow match to start but built up throughout the match, it contained Ryler being beaten on by all 3 members of the Gentlemen’s Club before making a super hot tag to Edwards who by this time had the crowd on their feet for him. Edwards came in and dominated before Bockwinkel came in to break up the H.E. Driver (Double Underhook brainbuster) before Powers entered only for Aries to even the odds. The four battled on before Bockwinkel low blowed the champ behind the referees back and rolled him up for the pin.
Winners: Gentlemen’s Club (Austin Aries, Rhett Titus and Mike Bockwinkel)

Bockwinkel swiftly exited to the outside to join Titus and Aries along with Miller, Robert and King who also re-appeared. The group then celebrated by the exit as Edwards looked on worried about the future of his reign as SNW World Champion.


Best of Duos
5 Weeks To Go
Final Teams

Henry Edwards & Mystery Partner
The SNW World Champion wanted to get in the Best of Duos and has however being one of the last teams has come to be a disadvantage as now he has no partner. Never fear says Owner Zachary Miller who has told him that he will find him a tag partner for quite possibly the best tag tournament ever devised. But with Miller being a rival to Edwards will he pick a fair opponent, we suspect no.
Odds: 1:30

Motor City Machine Guns: Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin
The final team in the Best of Duos tournament come from Detroit, Michigan they are the Motor City Machine Guns. With Shelley being a former trainer of the SNW athletes like Austin Aries he will have an edge on his opponents tripled with the fact that with numerous time X Division Champion by his side these two have been called the best tag team around, can they prove it in the Best of the Duos 2009.
Odds: 1:3

Snow Wrestling Academy Special

We were invited to attend a SWA training season this weekend by SNW who own the academy. We were met by Al Snow and spent the day talking to both him and his trainees. He named his top students to be Alex Diamond and Drake Fortune currently working as a tag team called Diamond Fortune and names both of them a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Other Students Al thinks will go far is ‘Gentlemen’ Arthur Williams with his European Style and a team named Your Mom consisting of Cody Rejaro and Baz Hepburn. Another solid worker is X Jack, the current Student Cup Holder as he is improving every week.

Al also talked about Zeke and Vincent Valentino who are still new and are growing well. He expressed his views on troublemaker Tom Felix currently wearing a black eye from a fight with DJ Falcon. He feels Felix will not be going anywhere while DJ is a good worker but nothing special.

The other three students (Antonio Benitez, Maxx Blaze and Chris Tully) all have the same problem as DJ they just seem average and Snow has doubts about their future. He was surprised at Big Bob being called up (now Robert the Bodyguard) due to his lack of skill however he is doing well in his role and is expected to not be in the ring very much.

A new student joined the academy two weeks ago and he is the son of wrestling legend Matt Borne. Matt has trained his son Josh and as a result he has a old school style, Snow said that most trainers would try and change that because they don’t know how to teach it however Snow wants to build on this like he did with Arthur Williams catch-as-catch-can style.

Rise Before the Fall

The show kicks off as always with a match from the SWA Students with a new addition to the group.

Dark Match: Josh Borne vs. Chris Tully
This is Borne first match with SNW/SWA and it was a decent match, although it felt like Borne was leading the match rather than Tully. There were a few decent spots by Borne who usually connected multiple moves into each other and locking in submission. Borne got the win following a hurricanrana attempt by Tully which Borne blocked, crossed his leg and flipped him over for the Texas Cloverleaf.
Winner: Josh Borne

The main show started as normal with Rise Against playing then Chikara hater Mike Hogan walking out in his trademark Anti-Chikara shirt.

Hogan: 3:0 , 3:0. That’s my current record here in the Chikara Challenge, I hope everybody takes note because tonight it grows once more. Tonight is just another step on the road to getting these pathetic joke wrestlers of my show.

Mike Hogan Chikara Challenge
Match 1: Mike Hogan vs. Helios
Both men put on a good show the fans loved Helios and his high flying style while Hogan stuck to the mat a lot more to contrast his style. The turning point came when Hogan moved out of the way of Helios’ dive to the outside. Helios was knocked silly and Hogan quickly capitalised throwing him back into the ring for the Futurism (Spinning Belly to Belly Piledriver)
Winner: Mike Hogan

Match 2: Nick Jacobs vs. Tom Gerard
Carson Clark came out with his tag partner Gerard while Jacobs had a much more experienced man in his corner, Raven. This was the AirDevils return match from Dragon-Gate in Japan and it came as a sour note with much domination from Jacobs. Jacobs struck with the Evenflow DDT then the Jacobs Drop 2.0 (Fisherman's Suplex Cutter) for the 3-count.
Winner: Nick Jacobs

Match 3: Steven Kagemann and Jordan Devine vs. Evan Pagano and Assassin
Pagano and Kagemann were on opposite sides of this tag match just one week away from their ladder match with the winner getting a World Title Shot. This match wasn’t a good match but also wasn’t a bad match just something you would expect from a lower indy show to fill the mid-card. Kagemann sends a message to his rival though Assassin creaming him with the Fire Tornado (Modded Shooting Star Press)
Winners: Steven Kagemann

Match 4: Ace Bennett vs. Rhett Titus
A nice change from the last two matches, something you can expect every time you put Ace in the ring. These two will be facing off next week with their tag partners Jason Williams and Kenny King for the FUSE title. Titus did his usual pelvic thrusts but got cocky and went for one before a sunset flip from the top rope so Ace took advantage with the Syracuse Dropped (Reverse Frankensteiner)
Winner: Ace Bennett

Intermission. Ace went to the merchandise table to take photos with the fans with his FUSE title there was quite a big line and intermission went on longer due to the line still going.

Match 5: Real Hart Foundation (Kevin and Gavin Hart) vs. Jack Powers & Bret Thomas
This match was a kinda preview for Best of Duos as both teams are competing so we could see them face off again. Powers and Thomas work well due to their similarities in styles and put on a great show with the brothers. A definite breakthrough match for the Harts as so far their have only been competing on the lower cards. Austin Aries walked down to see Powers his One opponent leading to a quick roll-up by Kevin.
Winners: Real Hart Foundation (Kevin and Gavin Hart)

After the match Thomas seemed quite upset with Powers. Off mic you could hear Powers apologising and telling him that after next week his mind will be completely on the Best of Duos and Thomas accepted it.

Match 6: Sam Kineval vs. Daniel Sinn vs. Safu
This was better than last weeks match which included their tag team partners. Next week they will bring their tag partners and battle over the Duos Titles. Their tag partners were at ringside as was Amy Lee for Safu. Safu was looking for the win after his partner won last week but it was Kineval who got the win on Sinn following a sick Welcome to Kineval-Ville Motherf*cker (Top Rope Diving Cutter) on Sinn to Safu below.
Winners: Sam Kineval

After the match Matt Spade grabbed the belts and made a quick exit with Kineval taunting both the opponents and the crowd. The remaining teams went face-to-face but Revolution X walked away claiming that they’ll see them next week.

Match 7: Chris Hammers vs. Jacob Ryler
Hammers hasn’t been in action for a while due to him rebuilding Safu and LyNN, however he was back on form as always. Ryler also stepped up his game after getting a few lower card loses and it really seemed like he could pick up this win however he fell to a Last Minute Orders (Sit out Spinebuster) in a really suprising match.
Winner: Chris Hammers

Handicap Match
Main Event: Henry Edwards vs. Mike Bockwinkel & Robert the Bodyguard
Edwards was dominated at first with frequent quick tags, Robert stunk up the match doing a Great Khali impression of pulling out a bad match however having two main eventers in the match lifted it. Edwards broke out and was able to get Robert out of the match but fell to Bockwinkel hitting a Bockwinkel Special: Championship Edition (Package Piledriver)
Winners: Mike Bockwinkel & Robert the Bodyguard

Bockwinkel then ordered Robert to hand him the belt as he raised it over the current champ could this be a sign to come for next week.

One

Tonight we celebrate the 1st year anniversary of SNW when Austin Aries put on the very first show here in the FUSE Arena. There was no Dark Match tonight instead a video package plays on a small screen showing the events from the past year of SNW, including FUSE, the sell-out and the tours. It ended with Aries coming back, challenging for the title and the formation of the Gentlemen’s Club.

Mike Hogan Chikara Challenge
Match 1: Mike Hogan vs. Hydra
The show kicked off with Hogans undefeated Chikara Challenge, Hogan once again wearing his crossed out Chikara logo t-shirt. Hydra recently broke from his long-term partner Tim Donst in Chikara and did a lot of comedy in this match. The Springboard Elbow Drop put Hydra away in less than 10 minutes.
Winners: Mike Hogan

Match 2: The Real Hart Foundation (Kevin and Gavin Hart) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)
As a preview for Best of the Duos two brotherly teams threw everything into the match. Lots of fast paced action and crazy dives, the current PWG Tag Team Champions looked like they won with a Tornado DDT but Kevin broke it up and locked in a Sharpshooter but eventually fell to the More Bang for you Buck.
Winners: The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)

Match 3: Jordan Devine vs. Bret Thomas
A let down of a match from the last match so this became as nothing more but a filler. SNW is currently pushing Thomas towards the top of the card and this short match helped with the fans chanting for Thomas to kill Devine. Thomas was the first original student to appear tonight and received the loudest ovation he has ever had in SNW. Thomas hit the Hammer's Fall (Gory Rack Piledriver) for the 3-count.
Winner: Bret Thomas

Thomas: Its been a long year for everyone involved in FUSE. As always there’s been ups and down and I just like to thank you guys for supporting me and SNW in the past year.

Thomas then got a big round of applause from the crowd. Obviously this would usualy done by the owner or on-screen boss but as Zachary Miller is heel they gave the job to a upcomming babyface and should help in his push to the top.

Match 4: Nick Jacobs vs. Jacob Ryler
Like the last match this had no build up and was just a filler however this went on for longer than the last match. Both men had control throughout the match and each men showed a lot of potential but Jacobs mentor Raven hit Ryler while on the outside leading to a Jacobs Drop 2.0 (Fisherman's Suplex Cutter)
Winner: Nick Jacobs

Ladder were then set up around ringside for the next match where the winner will receive a future world title shot.

Ladder Match for Future World Title Shot
Match 5: Steven Kagemann vs. Evan Pagano
What a crazy match both men went all out to put on a match that will be talked about for weeks to come. The ladders came in early and with Kagemann’s reckless nature we knew there was going to be some sick spots. The highlight of the match came when Pagano hit a pedigree onto a suspended ladder but Kagemann still managed to come back. The ladder also tipped and sent both men to the outside to the chant of ‘holy sh*t’ from the crowd after a minute had passed both men started to move again. They climbed the ladder once more but Pagano used a new ladder to hit Kagemann off the top and grab the contract.
Winner: Evan Pagano

Intermission. Pagano left slightly limping while medical crew arrived for Kagemann but as always he refused help and exited alone. A surprise came as former FUSE wrestler Petey the Pirate made an appearance with a bucket of sweets throwing them into the audience quite strange but very very tasty.

FUSE Championship
Match 6: Ace Bennett & Jason Williams vs. Rhett Titus and Kenny King
For the first ever time the FUSE title was defended in a tag match with the person making the pinfall being the new FUSE Champion. This was a great match for all involved with multiple near falls including a Psycho Driver from Williams, a Kings Coronation from King and the Powerbomb/Neckbreaker combo from the ROH team but each time the fall was broken. In the end Ace and Jason had it won and Jason hit the Shooting Star Leg Drop on King but Ace broke up the fall not wanting to lose his title, Titus took advantage of this with a quick roll-up but was broken up by Ace leading to a quick Shining Wizard and pinfall.
Winner and Still FUSE Champion: Ace Bennett

Titus and King exited knowing they would get a verbal lashing from Aries backstage for their lost. Jason remained on the outside looking up at the champ with his belt then left not waiting for his partner.

Duos Championship
Match 7: Youth Culture (Sam Kineval and Matt Spade) vs. New Age Lady Killers (Daniel Sinn and Drew Parkland) vs. Revolution X (Safu and LyNN)
Lots of crazy action in this match with so many near falls and lots of tag moves, early on in the match Hammers and Amy Lee were sent out to make the sides even. All 3 teams could have won at any time but the fans (as always) were behind the Lady Killers who seemed completely concentrated on the match and their rivals Youth Culture. Near the end on the outside Kineval knocked both Safu and Sinn out cold with a chair while the referee was in the ring with LyNN and Parkland. In a strange turn of events rivals Parkland and Kineval hit the Pin Pointer, the Lady Killers finishing move on LyNN before Spade pulled Parkland out of the ring and Kineval got the pin.
Winners and Still Duos Champions: Youth Culture (Sam Kineval and Matt Spade)

After milking their exit Youth Culture finally left and the Killers wondered what they had to do to win their belts back. The next match was then announced that it had no rules.

Match 8: Jack Powers vs. Austin Aries
A true classic between both men, they started of slow resversing holds and twisting and turning each other out. Many near falls later Aries hit the H.S.M to the outside sending both men down for longer than the 10 count but the match had no rules. Once back in the ring Aries locked in the Last Chancery and Powers reached to the ropes however ropebreaks weren’t in effect due to the stipulation. Powers was able to get to is feet with aid from the ropes and break it. After more action including multiple low blows from Aries (due to the stipulation) Powers dodged the head kick from Aries which usually leads to the Brainbuster and hit the Power Suplex (Modded Tiger Suplex) then into Choke-Out (Rear Naked Choke) which Aries soon tapped to!
Winner: Jack Powers

After the match Robert the Bodyguard, King and Titus all came down but Powers had already left though the crowd with people tapping him on the shoulder and chanting his name. The main event was up next with the two-time champ and current champ Henry Edwards and the former champ Mike Bockwinkel.

Main Event: Henry Edwards vs. Mike Bockwinkel
Although it wasn’t a classic match from the previous match the atmosphere was much higher and the crowd were very hyped up. To his credit Bockwinkel put on a great show methodically trying to weaken the champion especially working over the neck setting up for his versions of the Bockwinkel Special. Edwards was hitting some of the stiffest shots we’ve seen since our opening show where Roderick Strong main evented as Edwards used Davey Richards style kicks and Strong’s stiff chops, Bockwinkel had a swelling red chest in the match. Edwards also fought back with his usual style even looking up to the sky before hitting 3 German Suplex’s in a row. The two battled on for just under half an hour before Bockwinkel hit the Bockwinkel Special (Piledriver) but Edwards got a shoulder up. He then lifted him again this time for the Bockwinkel Special: Championship Edition (Package Piledriver) but Edwards flipped over his back and locked in the Crossface and making Mike tap out.
Winner and Still SNW World Champion: Henry Edwards

Bockwinkel retreated up the ramp where the rest of the Gentlemen’s Club were, they had a very bad night. Edwards stayed in the ring and celebrated with his title and mouthed to Aries and Bockwinkel “Nobody is taking this off me”
