Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

BREAKING NEWS
SNW World Heavyweight Champion, Henry Edwards did not appear at “Anarchy in the USA” because he has suffered an injury. Early reports say that Edwards injured his leg during his match at “One Wish” with Steve Corino as he was seen limping to the back. However news is coming in that he further injured his leg in training. The reason for his absence at “Anarchy in the USA” is because he has gone to have a check up on his leg. Currently we are unsure if Edwards will vacate the belt or will battle though. We’ll keep you updated on the situation.

Pain, Suffering and Cookies

1) Carson Clark vs. Grizzly Redwood: Possibly the most random opening to a SNW show ever. The AirDevils came out ready for tag team action then the “Littlest Lumberjack” came out alone. So the AirDevils did Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who to face Grizzly and Clark won. After a few minutes Clark hit a Swan Dive DDT for the 3-count.

Evan Pagano then came out to address what happened last week. He said he still has his One Wish and he could choose between the Champion Edwards and his rival Ace Bennett. Pagano says that he’s staying by his choice and picking Bennett to face tonight.

2) DUOS: Gentlemen’s Club vs. Your Mom: Baz and Cody are not in the same league as Nick and Mike but they put up an interesting fight. The champions kept Baz from making the tag but when he eventually did Cody was on fire and nearly got the win. However the champions retained after an Assisted Bockwinkel Special.

We then go backstage where Drew Parkland and Daniel Sinn are lacing up their boots and putting on wrist tape. Chris Hammers and the rest of Revolution X walk in. Hammers makes fun of the Lady Killers attempts at the DUOS titles. Sinn retaliates by saying that they haven’t had a good win in a while either. Hammers says that they will tonight because they are facing them. Parkland wishes them luck because their going to need it.

3) X Jack vs. Gavin Hart: Gavin’s tag partner was at ringside cheering on Hart. It seems as if Jack has turned face and this match was just used to set up Jack. Jack seemed fine in the ring and is starting to build up a few usual moves. Jack got his first win with the fans behind him after hitting the X.

Intermission. The Double Shot shows are next weekend the show titles were announced on the website but were taken down the next day. Fans expected SNW to announce the show titles but they didn’t.

FUSE Champion Sam Kineval came out and was soon followed by Kevin Hart. Hart told Kineval to give him the challenge he was on about last week. Kineval told him he must face 3 other men to prove he is worthy of a title shot. Hart said that he wanted something in return, the ability to choose what type of match they face off in. Kineval accepted because “there’s no way your going to win this match anyway.” After the 3 opponents entered Kineval brought out a contract and said “oh, did I mention it was a ladder match?”

4) Ladder: Kevin Hart vs. Mike Hogan vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Jason Williams: The match had started and the referee was still attracting the contract to the cable before it was hoisted up. The action in this match was awesome. Hart and Hogan looked the best while Jason and Kagemann stuck to the big spots. Diamond Fortune came out near the end to distract Jason from winning. They did but Jason wiped them both out with a Corkscrew 450 from the ladder! Hart and Hogan then battle on the ladder until Hart grabbed the contract.

After the match Hart celebrated on the ladder but Sam Kineval (who was at commentary) came in and pushed the ladder over. Hart then landed on the outside on a ladder perched between the ring apron and a barrier. Hart had to be helped backstage.

5) Revolution X vs. The New Age Lady Killers and Jack Powers: All members of RevX were at ringside for this match, Hammers, Safu and LyNN were in the match while Amy Lee was at ringside. The action was very back and forth and given a lot of time for all men to get in the ring. Hammers has perfected a running powerbomb which he uses brilliantly in his matches. However the stable experience wasn’t enough to beat the two time Duos Champions as they finished off their opponents with a Pin Pointer.

6) Ace Bennett vs. Evan Pagano: The last time these two faced off Bennett took a top rope Calling and somehow rolled up Pagano for a small package. This match was equally as good as the previous with action on the canvas, air and outside. Bennett stalled at the start of the match by leaving the ring three times making the match longer. Both men tried everything to put their opponent away in the last 5 minutes and Pagano went for the top rope Calling but Bennett jumped to the outside causing a Time-Limit Draw. MOTN.

Bennett lay out the outside smiling knowing that he prevented Pagano from getting the win by diving to the outside. Pagano who was perched on the top rope held his head in shame. Bennett slowly got up and left staring right at Pagano.

A New Coronation (Night One)

The ring announcer said that due to Edward’s injury the SNW World Championship has been vacated. Over today and tomorrow an 18-man tournament would be held. Firstly there will be six triple threat matches with the winners advancing. The winners would then face off in three single matches. Then the winners would face off in one final triple threat to crown a new Champion.

All the competitors for the tournament made their way out for a group photo. Outsiders Kenny Omega and Roderick Strong got good responses but the fans blew the roof off with the final entrant, ‘Lightening’ Mike Quackenbush.’ After the photo was taken the former champion Henry Edwards came out and wished all the competitors good luck but told them he’d take back his title when he returned.

1) Jack Powers vs. Chris Hammers vs. Safu: This was an unfair match as Safu and Hammers have been teaming since the beginning of SNW (then FUSE) so it was essentially a handicap match. Powers tried to fight back but could not defeat both Hammers and Safu. After a Burning Hammer from the wild samoan the two time champion hit a Last Minute Orders to advance.

After the match Hammers (who could speak easily after doing very little in the match) grabbed a mic. He told the crowd that he has always been living in Edwards’ shadow. With him out of the way he will take home the title for a third time and never let go.

Bret Thomas also ran out and threw Powers into the barricade as he was leaving. Luckily the Lady Killers came out before any more damage was done.

2) Nick Jacobs vs. Sam Kineval vs. Roderick Strong: This was a much more even match with all three men putting on a lot of action. The action was fairly fast paced but mostly contested on the mat. Strong looked great and had the crowd solidly behind him. Strong turned both men’s chests purple with his chops and made the current FUSE Champion tap to the Stronghold to advance.

3) Ace Bennet vs. Kevin Hart vs. Mike Hogan: Awesomely fast paced action, probably the three best fast paced wrestlers in SNW. As always Bennett and Hart had A* quality while Hart also had top-notch quality with Hogan after his battles in development. Hart was still weak from his ladder fall last week but didn’t let him affect him in the match. This led to a low blow and roll-up win for Bennett to advance. MOTN.

Intermission. Hart took a while getting to the back even with people helping. The announcer talked about some of the matches coming up. Strangely a man came out in a black mask with a sandwich board. All it said was 8 weeks and the letter ‘R’

4) Evan Pagano vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Kenny Omega: Some more fast paced action followed after intermission with all four men putting it all on the line to advance. Omega was great and has appeared in SNW once before (See Riot Act) However Pagano was the real star here drilling the crazed one with a Calling to advance.

After the match an exhausted Pagano took the mic. He said this is “his time” and that Edwards was the only man stopping him from becoming World Champion. He said he would win the title then prepare to beat Edwards when he returned. Ace Bennett interrupted calling Pagano a liar. Bennett said he was the man stopping Pagano from the world title because he knows he can’t beat him.

5) Mike Bockwinkel vs. Bret Thomas vs. Jason Williams: Three different wrestlers, three completely different styles. Bockwinkel with his technical style, Thomas being the powerhouse and Jason being the hungry for gold spot monkey. Although it wasn’t as good as previous matches it had some interesting spots. Jack Powers came out and Thomas went after him leaving Bockwinkel with Jason to finish him off with the Bockwinkel Special to advance.

Powers and Thomas continue to brawl until Revolution X comes out. Hammers directs the beating and tells Safu and LyNN to take Powers into the ring. While Safu and LyNN hold Powers Thomas goes to punch Powers in the face but the New Age Lady Killers run out and send them packing. Sinn gets on the mic and challenges them (Thomas, Safu and LyNN) to a six-man tag tomorrow night

6) Jacob Ryler vs. LyNN vs. Mike Quackenbush: Although on any other night this couldn’t main event it kind of worked. It worked mostly due to the wrestling wizardry of Mike Quackenbush who pulled out more moves than a wrestling manual. This also brought out the best in Ryler and LyNN who can slack at times but can put on top quality matches. Quack won with the QdriverII to advance.

After the match the fans exploded into their “Quack” chant for the millionth time. Quack pointed over to the title and motioned for it to be around his waist.
