Sims National Wrestling: 2008-2021

Be the Best 2011 Update

The Be the Best 2011 qualifiers are over with the show going off with a bang and some confusion. Here’s a summary so you know what’s going on.

BLOCK A SUMMARY: Kagemann earned his first and only win of the Block against Cody who ended the completion with three losses. Meanwhile in the main event we had confusion as Hammers vs. Hogan went to a controversial time limit draw. Meaning we have no decisive winner of BLOCK A. However by the ruling of SNW Chris Hammers and Mike Hogan will face off next week in a must have a winner no limit match. Only one can join the other three block winners to the iPPV.

Confrontation Time

S1) Travis Cantrell vs. Zakk Static: The student show kicked off with a cracker of a contest. Travis and Zakk had the pace and stamina to make this a really quick, fun and athletic contest. Zakk easily has the most charisma out of any of the students, he can draw heat anywhere. Zakk won after a Brainbuster.

S2) Phenom and Cain Jackal vs. Zeke and X Matt: Zeke was a playing your classic fun babyface and it worked well for him. He and Matt were a pretty good team but Phenom and Cain were the better team. Phenom got the win with the Last Rites.

1) Jack Powers vs. Alex Diamond: The opening contest was a lot shorter than we all thought. Powers came out with one thing on his mind, destruction. Powers chucked Alex around, hit the Power Suplex and locked in the Immortality and Diamond was tapping out.

A furious Jack Powers grabbed the mic post match and told the man who has been following him over the past few weeks to come out. Powers called him a chicken for not coming out to fight and hiding in the back he said he should come out and face his fury. Then the man attacked Powers from behind after jumping from his front row seat! The man continued the assault until he picked up the mic saying that he is the real Fury.

2) Henry Edwards and Kevin Hart vs. Revolution X: RevX was represented by LyNN and Devine possibly the worst pairing of the stable but with Safu still out injured and Hammers competing in the main event they were forced to team up. Edwards and Hart worked well despite knowing they could face each other at the iPPV either in the semi-finals or the finals. Hart locked in the Sharpshooter on LyNN while Edwards had the Crossface on Devine and both men tapped out.

Nick Jacobs was next out and complained that Evan Pagano stole his spot in Be the Best. Jacobs said if they had a rematch he would easily win. Evan Pagano came out and took up that challenge.

3) Evan Pagano vs. Nick Jacobs: This was a lot like their match two weeks ago. Jacobs kept up with the in form Pagano for the first ten minutes but as the match went on Jacobs lost control leading to Pagano taking complete control and hitting the Calling to continue him momentum into Be the Best 2011.

SNW World Champion, Ace Bennett made his way out while Pagano was leaving and they had a brief stare down. He said last week he told the crowd he would announce his opponent for Be the Best iPPV. He explained that with everyone competing in the Be the Best qualifiers there was no viable challenger from within SNW. So SNW management set up an opponent from outside SNW. Ace continued saying he doesn’t even know his opponent, he was just told to come to the ring. A video then played showing Dragon Gate’s own masked highflyer Dragon Kid. As he spoke his words were translated on the bottom in English. He said that SNW is the home of completion. And that’s why he is coming to SNW to face Ace Bennett on live iPPV.

4) New Age Lady Killers vs. Jason Williams and Cody Rejaro: The winners of this match would face Duos Champions, the Fatality Squad at the Be the Best iPPV. The Lady Killers looked happy to be back in SNW after their mini-tour with Japan but they had to contend with Canadians Cody and Jason. There was some great tag action but the Lady Killer’s experience proved too much for Jason and Cody who won with a Pin Pointer.

Intermission. The ring announcer told the crowd to go over to the SNW website for SNW announcements after tonight’s show. Also he said about the main event between Hogan and Hammers and that the FUSE title match would be on the line after the intermission break.

5) FUSE: Drake Fortune vs. Jack Joseph: Once again announcing the title match in intermission works brilliantly for making sure everyone is back in their seat before the show restarts. Joseph’s recent performances earns him this title match and he went all out to try and get the title. Drake looked a little off tonight and Joseph smelt blood in the water hitting the Pele Kick but before he could pin AJ Matthews attacked him.

A.J Matthews continued his beat down on Jack post match possibly angry about Jack getting a title shot before him. As AJ shoved the referee to the floor Jacob Ryler ran out to fight off AJ. Then Drake got up and helped AJ attack both Jack and Ryler. AJ then turned on the FUSE champ until Matt Spade ran out to join in. Just when you thought the ring couldn’t get any fuller Jason and Cody ran out to add to the mayhem. The fight spread all over the arena until all men were battled out view.

6) Ace Bennett and the Fatality Squad vs. Jacob Ryler and the AirDevils: The SNW World Champion was back in action teaming with the Duos Champions to face Ryler (who returned after just fighting in a brawl) and the AirDevils. The faces put up a decent fight but were no match for the champions super team who won with a Fall/Double Stomp combo with Ace sneaking in to pick up the win/glory.

Mike Bockwinkel made his way out in a suit and straight away started abusing Red Dragon. In-between these long rants he called Dragon out numerous times even calling him “Red Chicken” and “Yellow bellied Dragon.” Red Dragon eventually hit the ring dumping Bockwinkel to the canvas and pounding on him. However Bockwinkel had back up in the form of Nick Jacobs who ran out to help out his partner. As Bockwinkel and Jacobs were putting the boots to Dragon former SNW roster member and Dragon’s tag partner Assassin, ran out. Bockwinkel took a clothesline to the outside then Jacobs was attacked until he pulled himself from the ring. The Gentlemen’s Club then made their way to the exit but Dragon stopped them by shouting over the mic. Dragon told Nick and Mike to meet them in New York for the iPPV as the Gentlemen’s Club take on the Red Assassins. Dragon added to “make things interesting” they would throw the rules out the window as it would be a “New York Street Fight.”

7) BLOCK A: Chris Hammers vs. Mike Hogan: As you would expect in this no time limit must have a winner match we had everything from drama, interference but most of all top quality wrestling. The referee took a bump after seventeen minutes of action and Hammers took advantage after Amy slid a steel chair into the ring. Hammers smashed Hogan with the chair busting him wide open but Hogan kicked out! The referee took a second bump but it seemed like Hammers did it on purpose! Jordan Devine came out but was knocked off the apron. It all ended u being too much for Hogan as a quick Lariat from Hammers gave the Irish man the win and advances through to the final four.
