Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

Vancouver, British Columbia

Dark Match) Riley Shamrock vs. X Matt: First SNW student match on Canadian soil was a decent one. Riley helped Matt look good and they stringed together a good short match. Riley continues his roll with a Ode to Shamrock.

As Riley is celebrating, Johnny Quinn walks out by the entrance. He said that after being defeated by Shamrock he feels disgraced. So disgraced that he cannot show his face. He pulls out a mask and places it on. Riley takes the mic off him and laughs at his mask. Quinn responds with a head kick knocking out Riley. This student feud has only just began.

The main show started with portion of the Canadian anthem playing. Our ring announcer welcomed the fans to SNW’s first show in Canada and announced that due to their FUSE title four way at “One Night in Philly” X Jack and AJ Matthews would not be appearing tonight.

1) Nick Jacobs vs. El Generico: The show kicked off with a great start with “Ole Ole” shouted over the P.A System and the fans leaping to their feet to welcome their very own El Generico. A great way to kick off the show and the tour with Generico working the crowd perfectly getting a win with a Brainbuster.

2) House of Cards vs. Cody Rejero and Jacob Ryler: Diamond and Spade represented the House of Cards in this match as they faced off against Cody and Ryler. Spade and Diamond worked well and with Gavin at ringside they had the advantage. A Neckbreaker by Diamond earned him the win.

Henry Edwards came out to a great response (still not quite as good as Generico) he said that after winning at the iPPV he feels he should be next in line at what is rightfully his title. Chris Hammers walked out accompanied by LyNN and Devine. Hammers said Edwards is unworthy of a title shot. Edwards said to prove it by facing him right now. It was accepted.

3) Henry Edwards vs. Chris Hammers: As always when these two arch rivals lock up your guaranteed a match worth the admission price. It was fast, hard hitting and well wrestled. Amy Lee and LyNN just watched from ringside, Chris must have told them beforehand. Edwards got his long time rival in a Crossface and as he was about to tap LyNN ran in to break it up.

LyNN began stomping away on Edwards as Hammers got back to his feet with help from Amy. Mike Hogan then ran out and took LyNN out of the ring. Amy and Hammers quickly escaped as Hogan checked on Edwards. At first Edwards thought Hogan was out to attack him but when he realised what happened he thanked him for his help.

Intermission. It was announced that El Generico was just one of the special guest SNW will be having on tour. The tour schedule was announced along with when the double shot weekend will be, the schedule will be posted on the SNW website following this show. The Battle of Canada will take place later in the tour, details will be announced soon.

4) AirDevils vs. Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann: Surprisingly good tag team action. At first the much more experienced team of the AirDevils took advantage. Kagemann and Thomas teamed up recently and showed great chemistry and booked themselves together in a tag match tonight getting a win after their The Fall/Double Stomp combo they used a few weeks back.

Straight after the match Thomas booted both Devils from the ring. Kagemann took the mic and said they were starting an team. Thomas spoke “For too long we have been held back. We are SNW originals and yet we don’t get treated like it. We’ve been partners, we’ve been enemies but now we are the next Duos champions.”

5) Jordan Devine vs. Drake Fortune vs. Jason Williams: FUSE Champion Kevin Hart came out to watch this match, he was still pretty banged up from the iPPV so he didn’t wrestle. Instead the winner of this match would challenge for his title next week. Decent match with some great spots. But after Colgate attacked Jason on the outside Drake pinned Devine with a small package.

Mike Bockwinkel made his way out with a battered chair in hand. Bockwinkel said this is the chair he “killed” Red Dragon with. He said he brought it all the way to Canada just to show the fans. Bockwinkel said that after One Night in Philly they would not be seeing Dragon in a SNW ring ever again despite their agreed match at the next iPPV.

6) SNW: Ace Bennet vs. Daniel Sinn: Just before the match Ace Bennett complained that he has been told he has to defend his title both tonight and next week in Calgary. His opponents for these two defences will be the current Duos champions. Sinn took his turn at the title today and put on a great single performance against the champ. Ace’s Syracuse Dropped was stopped as Sinn pushed him off the top, Ace came right back up and hit a split second Syracuse Dropped out of nowhere for the 3-count.

Calgary, Alberta

Dark Match) Jet Jaguar vs. Phenom: This was Quinn’s first match under the mask of his new gimmick and he was highly impressive. His character showed in the match which he had the upper hand of. Finishing off Phenom with a Jet Pack Driver.

Post match Riley Shamrock runs out and they begin to fight around the ring. They break away and Riley charges at Jet who gets a big head kick knocking Riley to the floor once more.

Dark Match) Travis Cantrell vs. Christopher Jackal vs. Enrique Rodriguez Jr vs. Zakk Static: This fourway had some decent action from all men. They have all improved since they started and only had small botches. Cantrell hit his first decent looking SSP but Zakk pulled him out of the ring and got the pin.

Travis was upset at Zakk’s actions and believed he should have walked out with the win. Zakk said it isn’t about being the toughest it’s about being the smartest and he proved that tonight. Travis told him to put his intellect to the test with a match right now, Zakk walked away.

FUSE Champion Kevin Hart came out to start the main show to a thunderous ovation as this is Hart’s hometown. Hart talked about his name and how he isn’t actually a Hart member but uses it out of respect and honour of the legendary Hart family who were brought up here in Calgary. This was ruined by Drake Fortune and Edward Colgate who reminded him he has a title match tonight, a title match that Hart was going to lose.

1) AirDevils vs. Super Smash Bros: Special guests on our Canada tour are Player Uno and Player Dos. They worked a hotly contested fast paced match with Gerard and Clark. There was also a little bit of comedy thrown in. The Pac-Man Fever game the SSB the win.

Henry Edwards walked to the ring and said it was time that he got his title shot. Like last week he was interrupted but this time by Nick Jacobs. Jacobs said that Henry doesn’t deserve it as he’ll only get injured soon enough. Edwards told him to fight him and Jacobs accepted.

2) Henry Edwards vs. Nick Jacobs: A great match and its only the second match of the night, this could have easily been higher up the card but it was placed well as it ignited the crowd in this 20 plus minutes encounter. With just less than five minutes to go to a time limit Edwards drilled Jacobs with the HE Driver and locked in a Crossface for a submission win.

3) House of Cards vs. Daniel Sinn, X Jack and Jason Williams: The newly formed trio of the House of Cards were put to the test as they faced a team of SNW’s finest athletes. The teaming was a bit random but they worked pretty well together. Jason and Jack wowed the Canadians with their highflying but fell to a neckbreaker from Diamond.

4) FUSE: Kevin Hart vs. Drake Fortune: The action was nicely planned out with both men showing off a technical side to their repertoire. Hart eventually had enough of Colgate as hit him with a baseball slide. Hart looked dominant in the last few minutes ready to put Drake away. Hart went for top rope superplex but was distracted by Colgate who was complaining at Hart attacking him. As the referee sent Colgate to the back Fortune floated over in a sunset flip from the top rope getting a pin, then Drake put leant both legs on the ropes meaning Hart could not kick out. The referee was out of position to see and counted the fall.

Straight after the match Drake began to celebrate, Edward Colgate remerged to hand his “Face of the Colgate Connection” his newly won FUSE Championship. Most of the fans were in shock and the fans who wasn’t were boo’ing heavily. Hart was complaining to the referee about his legs on the ropes. The referee could not reverse his decision as he did not see anything. Hart then went after Drake who saw the advancing Hart and quickly left the ring.

Intermission. It was announced that the Super Smash Brothers will return later on in the tour. Announced for tonight was SNW Champion, Ace Bennett defending against one half of the Duos Champions, Drew Parkland. After what happened with the FUSE title we might see another new champion crowned here tonight.

5) Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann vs. Jacob Ryler and Cody Rejero: A good enough match but nothing too special. One of the highlights was Cody coming out before hand saying its his “homecoming” as well but he didn’t get a celebration at the start of the show. The team of Kagemann and Thomas looked strong and are becoming a big threat to the Duos Champions. They finished with their sick The Fall/Double Stomp combo.

6) Mike Bockwinkel vs. Mike Hogan: It was the battle of the Mike's with Bockwinkel taking on Hogan in a spirited affair. The action was good but not great they showed some good chemistry but it seemed like they were holding back. Possibly for a bigger encounter between the two. Bock hit the Bockwinkel Special but Hogan kicked out. As a disbelieved Bockwinkel went for another Red Dragon started to walk down the ring with a dented chair in hand. Hogan took advantage with a quick small package for the win.

Following the match Hogan made a quick exit after a big win over the former SNW World Champion. Dragon slid in with the chair that Bock used to damage him at “One Night in Philly” and Bockwinkel exited from the ring on the opposite side. Dragon looked ultra pissed at Bockwinkel and without saying a word you knew what he wanted to say to Bockwinkel.

7) SNW: Ace Bennett vs. Drew Parkland: Last week Parkland’s tag partner Daniel Sinn had a chance at the belt but tonight it was the other half of the Duos Champions. It was a great way to end off the night which has had twists, turns and some great action. Parkland put up a tremendous effort against the champ and even locked in his Confederacy Choke only for Ace to pull himself to the ropes. It was Ace’s own submission the Muto Lock that made Drew tap and Ace add another title defence.

Dark Match) Riley Shamrock vs. Zeke: Riley hit some wicked kicks to knock the big man and went to lock in the OTS but Zeke pushed away got up and slammed him to the mat for a shock 3 count.

Post match Student Riley Shamrock (ranked first) was disappointed at his loss to Zeke who quietly exited. It seems he had his mind on something else and that something else could easily be Jet Jaguar.

Dark Match) Christopher Kennedy Jones vs. X Matt: This match was surprisingly as good as the first with the advantage slipping back and forth. CKJ picked up the win following a quick Powerslam.

1) Cody Rejero vs. A.J Matthews: We kicked the main show right off with some good action from Canadia's own Cody Rejaro and the ruthless A.J Matthews. A.J had the advantage at first but Cody used his wit to take control until A.J fought back with the win from a Eastern Execution.

Newly crowned FUSE Champion, Drake Fortune and his manager Edward Colgate came out for a “victory speech.” They both had equal time on the mic putting themselves over and how fast the title win came about after their decision to come together. It was spoiled by special guest star Kenny Omega who informed the duo he was challenging the belt tonight.

2) Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann vs. X Jack and Jack Powers: The two Jack’s teamed up to face the brutal combination of Thomas and Kagemann. The Jack’s had a better chance at the current team on a win streak but fell like all the others to the Fall/double stomp combo.

Henry Edwards walked to the ring and said that every week he challenges Ace to a match and gets someone else instead. He demanded his title shot tonight. SNW Champion was quickly on the scene. He said that Edwards can’t face him tonight as their match has already been booked with both men on opposite sides of a six man tag team match. Ace then told Edwards that the only chance he could get a title shot with him is to win the Battle of Canada next week.

3) Gavin Hart vs. Jason Williams: Decent match with some good exchanges and as always from Jason highflying spots. Jason wowed the crowd with his offence and got the win in this fairly quick match following a Psycho Driver.

Intermission. The announcer hyped up SNW’s double shot weekend in Ontario next week, including special guests Petey Williams and Tyson Dux. The two nights will hold the tours tournament, the Battle of Canada with the winner receiving a SNW World Title Shot.

4) Kevin Hart vs. Alex Diamond: Another good match slightly better than the match before intermission mainly due to Hart. Hart got a great response from his natives and put on a good show for them finishing off with a 450 and a Sharpshooter.

After his win Kevin Hart got on the mic. He said although he is disappointed he lost the title he knows he has to move on. He said his sight is set on the SNW World Champion and the man who holds it.

5) Revolution X vs. AirDevils: RevX were out in full force with Hammers and Devine competing along with LyNN and Amy at ringside. RevX had the obvious numbers advantage with two former champions. The plucky underdogs fought back using all their might but fell to a huge Lariat to Tom and then a Liger Bomb on Clark.

Mike Bockwinkel then came out and insulted the Canadian audience. “But I’m not here just to tell you awful Canadians how much better the United States are. I’m here to talk about a certain type of Dragon, a Red Dragon.” Bockwinkel then went on to rip verbally into Dragon. Mike said that at Showdown he’s gonna end Dragon once and for all.

6) FUSE: Drake Fortune vs. Kenny Omega: Quite a funny but well wrestled match. Omega was able to get the best out of Fortune for his first ever defence for the FUSE title. Fortune looked for the first time like he deserved a title run. Drake dodged the Croyt's Wrath by rolling out back into a roll up.

Following the match Drake and his manager Edward Colgate made their quick escape. Omega stayed for a while to talk on the mic. He talked about the numerous times he has wrestled for SNW and is happy to be part of SNW’s Canada Tour. He said he will return but sadly not during this tour.

7) The Gentlemen’s Club and Ace Bennet vs. Henry Edwards and the New Age Lady Killers: A great way to end of the evening with action all over ringside with some top class athletes. Bennett and Edwards made their way out first to announce their teammates. For Bennett this was the longest reigning and now former SNW Duos Champions and Edwards picked the current SNW Duos Champions. Ace and Edwards had no time together as Ace kept his distance. Lots of big moves to lead up to the finish where Edwards made Jacobs submit to the Crossface.

BATTLE FOR CANADA: NIGHT 1

Dark Match) Cain Jackal vs. Enrique Rodriguez Jr: Jackal has had a name change to separate himself from the other Chris in the group. Good performances from both men ending in a knockout blow from Cain Jackal.

Cain Jackal then cut a promo saying how from now on he’s going to prove who the best is in the Student division. Decent promo from Cain which led into our main show.

The main show then started with the ring announcer going over tonight’s brackets for the Battle for Canada. All winners of the quarterfinal triple threat matches will go through to tomorrow night in Toronto. They will face off in two semi-final matches. The winners of the two semi-final triple threat matches will then face off in a singles match in the finals with the winner being crowned 2011 Battle for Canada winner and a future World title shot.

“The Ace of Spades” hit and the SNW World Champion, Ace Bennett walked out at the entrance. On one arm the prestigious World title on the other a model. Bennett said how much he is looking forward to watching all these guys kill themselves just to face him one on one. He made fun of some crowd members before taking a private seat with his model “girlfriend.”

1) Mike Bockwinkel vs. Jason Williams vs. Drew Parkland: Good action to start off, everything you would expect from a three way with these three. Jason wowed the crowd once again but it was Bock with the win using his cunning and focusing on Drew neck which Ace semi-injured last week.

Post match Ace stopped drinking his wine and stood up to clap for Bockwinkel’s performance. He even raised a glass to him for putting down Parkland and Jason. Bockwinkel didn’t care for Ace’s display and remained focus on the tournament.

2) Jack Powers vs. Cody Rejero vs. Mike Hogan: A slightly better three way as it included multiple team moves and long sequences of fast action. Hogan was particularly impressive and after breaking up the Choke Out with a Corkscrew Moonsault pinned Rejaro to advance.

Post match Hogan helped Cody up and they shook hands. Hogan even held Cody’s arm up which the crowd loved. Powers then got up and shoved Hogan but before Hogan could react Cody cooled the situation and all three men celebrated together.

3) Chris Hammers vs. Tyson Dux vs. Jacob Ryler: Dux was massively over with the crowd and Hammers was massively hated. Ryler put on his usual performance and as usual was overshadowed. Dux nearly had the win on Ryler with a Boston Crab but it was Hammers who creamed Dux with a Lariat for the three count.

Intermission. SNW Champion Ace Bennett left his seat for intermission but said he’d be back to watch more after he got to know his woman better. Bennett came back out before the show restarted and had more wine delivered to his seat.

4) Daniel Sinn vs. Nick Jacobs vs. Kevin Hart: Great way to kick back off with three great technicians. These guys were able to create their own unique triple threat which involved all three men trying everything to advance. In the end Hart hit a small package reversal into a Sharpshooter to advance by submission.

Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann walked to the ring and Bret grabbed a mic from ringside. Thomas said that they asked not to take part in the Battle for Canada because they didn’t want to challenge for the SNW World title. Instead they plan on taking the SNW Duos titles. Thomas said from now on they were the Fatality Squad.

5) Fatality Squad vs. AirDevils: Just like their match a few weeks back the match was dominated by Thomas and Kagemann. Their chemistry and teamwork trumped the opposing team. Despite their best efforts the Devils fell to the sickening Fall/Double Stomp combo.

6) Petey Williams vs. X Jack vs. A.J Matthews: Jack and A.J work very well together and along with the veteran Petey they stole the show. Jack hit a superkick on A.J knocking him off the apron then Petey hit the Canadian Destroyer to advance.

Henry Edwards came out for his main event match. Edwards waited for his opponents which were the only unannounced match until “Children of the Revolution” hit the speakers. Hammers, LyNN, Devine and Amy all came out and Edwards was confused. Hammers then said that Devine is one of his opponents and LyNN is the other. Edwards didn’t complain and looked ready for a challenge.

7) Henry Edwards vs. LyNN vs. Jordan Devine: Great story telling as part way through the match Edwards began to fight back but Hammers tried to intervene however the referee caught Hammers helping LyNN attack Edwards and was not only sent to the back with Amy but LyNN was also disqualified from the match. For RevX it was down to Devine to win the match but he couldn’t put him away. Devine got frustrated and Edwards took advantage locking in a quick Crossface to win.

Devine was ushered from the ring by the referee as he suspected Devine who attack the weakened Edwards. Edwards was hurt but slowly got to his feet to celebrate. He motioned to Ace that he was coming for his title but he has another two rounds to get through first and at the moment he doesn’t look like he will be able to compete tomorrow night. Top marks to SNW for putting on 6 separate three way matches and making them all unique.

BATTLE FOR CANADA: NIGHT 2

Dark Match) Jet Jaguar vs. X Matt: A good fun and fast match from the students. Matt showed promise but fell to the TTM from Jaguar.

Following the match the masked man went to attack X Matt but Travis Cantrell made the save. Jaguar exited as Cantrell tended to Matt. Then out came Christopher Kennedy Jones who has been rival to both Travis and Matt since they started training. Travis was now outnumbered by Jaguar and CKJ until Riley Shamrock made the save with a steel chair. Jaguar and CKJ then exited with the numbers now even.

A short hype video was played to kick off the show highlighting the six remaining competitors in the Battle for Canada 2011. Ace Bennett made his way out with some “sad news.” He said that Henry Edwards is too injured to compete tonight and will not be wrestling. The crowd were shocked until “The Trooper” by Iron Maiden played and Edwards made his way out. Edwards said that he is hurt but Ace is just making up excuses. Edwards said he will wrestle tonight and will win the Battle for Canada 2011.

1) Jack Powers, X Jack and Jacob Ryler vs. LyNN, Jordan Devine and Nick Jacobs vs. AirDevils and A.J Matthews: A strange but good way to kick off the main show. Three teams of three men battled it out in a frenzy of crazy spots and even crazier tag moves. In the end A.J walked out on his team after attacking his partners leaving Devine to pick up the win for his team.

The first semi-final for the Battle for Canada was up next. The three competitors made their way down but before the bell Red Dragon jumped out through the crowd and pulled Mike Bockwinkel out of the ring. They continued to brawl through the crowd and through the exit door. The referee waited for Bockwinkel to return but decided that he wouldn’t return and started the bell.

2) Semi-Finals: Mike Hogan vs. Chris Hammers vs. Mike Bockwinkel:
