BREAKING NEWS Zakk Static Injured, iPPV changes
One half of Knife Fight, Zakk Static was injured at a show in Canada. He was scheduled to challenge for the SNW Duos titles alongside Cain Jackal at SEVEN but that now looks in doubt. The match was supposed to be Zakk and Cain facing their former mentor Steven Kagemann and his tag team partner Bret Thomas for the SNW Duos titles. There were even rumours that Knife Fight would even win the titles.
SNW later addressed this on their website and Twitter. They announced that the Duos titles match was cancelled. However, the Fatality Squad will still defend their belts at the iPPV. Cain Jackal will also be in action but not challenging for the Duos championships.

Countdown to SEVENSEVEN Pre-ShowPetey the Pirate was sat down in a studio with SNW wrestlers Ace Bennett, Matt Spade and Duke Parkland hosting the interactive Pre-show. The show filled between the matches with segments including tweets and predictions. 1) Baby J Jamerson vs. Joseph Stone: Simple match to start between two of SNW’s least experienced wrestlers. Stone is getting better and better but it was Baby J who got the knees up the Moonsault and followed it up with a pin with a handful of tights. 2) Cain Jackal vs. Jacob Ryler: This is a little bit awkward for Jackal, he was going to challenge for the Duos titles. But with his partner injured, he is stuck performing on the pre-show. He did, however, look good and got the win following a Spear. Petey and the panel gave predictions and opinions on the main card. Ace said his former partners the AirDevils will win the Duos titles tonight, Spade expected Demento to knock off Mike Hogan and Drew hoped his children will get the win. But Spade and Ace disagreed who would win tonight in their match against one another. 3) LyNN vs. Noah Lee: Simple enough match where the RevX member controlled the inexperienced Brit. LyNN stretched Lee but got cocky at times which led to Lee fighting back in it. LyNN still won via a bridging German Suplex. 4) Carson Clark vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio: Easily the highlight of the pre-show, the match could have served as a perfect opener to any show. Lots of highflying, very quick and some great spots. El Hijo hit a spectacular double springboard corkscrew moonsault for a close count but Clark fought back and the former FUSE Champion scored the win via a Swan Dive DDT. Just before the pre-show main event Petey and the panel gave opinions and predictions about the main event. Ace predicted a successful title defence, saying Riley is the top dog at the moment and sees no-one knocking him off his perch. Spade disagreed with his partner, saying Jack Powers is an Original 16 member and so has the experience to beat Riley. Parkland then went for Riley, saying he’s got the fight he needs to be champion. 5) Cody Rejero vs. Baz Hepburn: The main event of the Pre-show was two partners facing off, they weren’t feuding, they were just pencilled in to wrestle each other. The ‘no hard feelings’ was shown by the two sharing a Pepsi with each other before the match. Then the team known as Your Mom squared off, first with some comedy spots before they showed what they can really do. Cody won this spirited affair after a Pepsi Cutter. SEVEN Live from Du Burns Arena, Baltimore, Maryland only on SNW PlayerThere’s a good size crowd in the Du Burns Arena. Nothing record breaking, but still a very good turn-out. The stage spells out SEVEN with the entrance way just underneath the ‘V’. The commentators ‘The Genius’ Edward Colgate and James Simmons run down the card. 1) The Joseph Brothers and Koutney Love vs. Duke, Axel and Rose Parkland: The anniversary show kicked off with six-person inter-gender action. The highlight was obviously the tag teams clashing, the Parkland Bros have improved so much since they started out on SNW. The Joseph and Love hit wicked stereo dives to get the crowd really going and set up the finish. They got back in the ring where the Joseph’s hit the DVD/Pele for the win. The camera then cuts to a filmed segment from earlier today. The World Champion and the challenger arrived in the arena. Powers showed up in a silver Audi. He was boo’ed, an interviewer was standing by for a brief interview. He said he will explain his actions later, but tonight is all about winning. Riley then showed up in a chauvfer driven car, wearing a suit and sun glasses. He spoke about being champion, saying that he loves being champion and enjoying himself but he’s got to do the hard work to get the rewards. 2) FUSE: Riley Shamrock vs. Daniel Sinn: But before Riley could defend his World title, he had to defend the FUSE Championship. The match went to start but then ‘Master of Puppets’ hit and Jack Powers walked out. Powers didn’t do anything all match, he just walked around ringside. The match itself was a good one. Shamrock was in control, but just narrowly. Sinn showed great heel skills and it contributed to Riley’s cheers. Riley kept getting distracted, this led to him missing the Irish Welcoming and being rolled up into a Small Package for the shock win. Daniel Sinn is the new FUSE Champion. The World Champion, Riley Shamrock has just been pinned. Sinn made a quick getaway. Riley was left on his knees staring at Jack Powers. Powers didn’t do anything, he just walked up the ramp, not making eye contact with the World Champion. 3) DUOS: Fatality Squad vs. AirDevils vs. Mockingbird: Because of the injury to Zakk Static, Knife Fight were removed from the title bout. The Devils and the Birds were set to face off but they were then put in the title match with the Squad. The match was a very fun energetic bout. The Devils and the Birds flew about the ring and battled well with the more ground-based Squad. Of course, with all these men in the match there was an epic dive fest. Starting with stereo dives from the Birds, then the Devils followed, then Kagemann hit the Fire Tornado onto all of them. Back in the ring, the Squad hit the Fall/Double Stomp on the Birds but the Devils broke it up. The Squad then hit the Ball and Chain on Clark to continue their dominant reign. We cut backstage to Alicia Bennett who is serving an interviewer, she welcomes the no.1 contender to the World title Jack Powers and asks him to explain his actions at M10. Powers said that he tried to do things the ‘right’ way for years and got nothing, no reward. He formed the United Front to get that reward and got it. Powers said he felt he had to apologise for the United Front but now he says he shouldn’t have. Powers asks how the crowd can decide that something is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. Alicia interrupts and says faking an injury to win is wrong. Powers gets angry and says he has to do, what he has to do. And tonight he will prove that and become the World Champion once more. Loud boo’s for Powers in the arena during this segment. Kevin Hart was standing in the gorilla position ready to go out when his opponent Cameron Stone walks up behind him. Stone wishes him luck and adds that Hart needs all the help he can get tonight when he faces the ‘Original Canadian Gangsta’. Hart calls him an old fart and he’ll get what’s coming to him tonight. Stone walked away as Hart’s music began. 4) Kevin Hart vs. Cameron Stone: A surprisingly great match, it just goes to show that even though he is the oldest guy on the roster, the 36 year old Stone can still go. Hart is ten years his junior and is cranking out the top performances, this just being another one of them. It seems like Stone is slowing down on the in ring competition and he has picked Hart to have a one of his last big singles matches. The two Canadians told a great story. Cam was the big dominant stronger opponent and Hart was the babyface who battled into the match, occasionally hitting a big spot to light up the match. Hart worked over Cam’s legs and that came to play in the finish. Hart hit a 450 to the legs then locked in the Sharpshooter which had Cam tapping. Demento was backstage speaking to the camera. He called the fans ‘cogs’ in the corporate machine. He said the guys at the top tell us what to do and how to act but we can rebel against that and become more. He said Hogan was once a rebel, a man who got kicked out of SNW because of his own behaviour but now has turned from ‘a proud Lion to a circus animal afraid of chairs’. Demento signed out by smacking the camera. He has great skills on the mic and this segment only further proved that. 5) WOM: Beast Kong vs. Wasp vs. Amy Lee vs. Red Fire: Because of the injury to Zakk, each match had more time and that would be a good thing for most matches. But not this one. It was just something about it, it just didn’t click. We’ve seen three-ways between Kong, Wasp and Amy before and they were some of the best women’s matches we’ve seen. However, this one just didn’t work. It wasn’t Red’s fault either. It never kicked in. Kong won via the Sitdown Powerbomb on Wasp. We got backstage to the Revolution X locker room. Hammers and Safu are going over tactics for tonight’s match. Devine, who is on the other side of the tag match tonight, walks over. Hammers stops talking. Devine says ‘Please don’t stop for me, carry on’. Hammers refuses and there is a pause. Ace Bennett then walks in and adds to the tension, telling Devine that they should meet up with their tag partner Jason. More confusion occurs as Ace’s tag partner, Spade then walks in and asks Ace what he is doing there, Ace says he’s just getting Jord, Spade explains that Hammers asked him to talk. There’s lots of shouting before Mike Bockwinkel walks in. He tells them all to shut it. He said since there isn’t a proper leader around he will take control, he orders Ace and Devine to leave and tells the rest that he’ll see them later. Hammers finishes saying ‘we’ll show him’. This was a strange segment to put over all the twists in the 8-man tag later. There will be no implications from it, the teams are together for one night only. 6) Mike Hogan vs. Dave Demento: Great way to finish off the first part of the show, there was a lot of action in this part so the fans were getting weary but this got them excited again. This was Demento’s first big match, it wasn’t long ago he was opening or on the pre-show, so his career has really kicked on since he went viral. The match was very back and forth and the competitors were given plenty of time to tell their story. Demento isn’t the best worker in the world, he’s still improving but his charisma more than makes up for that. He works a stiff style, just blasting Hogan with kicks. Reminiscent of a heavyweight from Japan. Hogan fought back hitting the Futurism and the Springboard Elbow for the close count. Demento was constantly going for the running punt kick he calls the F***tard but Hogan found new ways of avoiding it. In the end, Hogan hit the Back to the Future to seal the win. Although he lost, Demento looked good in defeat which was the aim of the match all along. Intermission. Mike Hogan stayed out at ringside, taking photos and signing autographs with the fans. Kevin Hart also came out to join in. 7) Chris Hammers, Safu, Matt Spade and Nick Jacobs vs. Ace Bennett, Mike Bockwinkel, Jordan Devine and Jason Williams: This match was dubbed the ‘Original 16’ versus the ‘First Class’ which means it was four of the 16 students who first signed up to SNW against the four who signed up soon after. Of course with these guys being with the company for seven years, there was plenty of history for example, Hammers, Safu and Jord are RevX but Jord is on the other side of the ring tonight, Ace and Spade are currently teaming but are on opposite sides, Bock kicked Hammers out of RevX a very long time ago to seize control of the stable, Spade and Jacobs have a common former tag partner in Sam Kineval. But enough about the past, this is the present and as always in this Anniversary annual match it was a very fun bout. It’s one fall to the finish so there’s so many near falls and finishers happening all the time. It started off with two guys in the ring at the same time but after a while it decended into madness like we all knew it would. Of course, there was a dive spot ending with Jason stealing the show with springboard double SSP. This led to a series of finishers which led to the finish where Bennett hit the Syracuse Drop on Jacobs. A video package of Riley’s time in SNW played finishing with him winning the SNW World Championship at Riot Act 8. Then it showed Powers winning the M10: 2015 and skipped back to when Powers and Riley used to team up, it then showed Be the Best, where Riley began his climb to the World title, in which he beat Powers and Jack refused to shake his hand. 8) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Jack Powers: ‘Master of Puppets’ hit and Powers entered to boo’s, he didn’t seem to care, he had his head focused on the match. ‘Knights of Cydonia’ hit and the World Champ made his way out to cheers, not the loudest of the night but still good. The match started very technical, as you’d expect from these two. Fans were pretty quiet during this part but that is to be expected when their grappling on the mat. Reminiscent almost of the wrestling they used to have in the United Kingdom, very technical, submissions and short breaks. Eventually Riley had enough and blasted Powers with a kick which caused Powers to exit to the outside. The two started a strike exchange until Powers caught Riley’s leg and locked in a UFC-esq hold. Riley got the ropes but it was clear his leg was hurting. Powers took advantage using a series of moves to stay in control while also using the occasional move that would damage the leg. He even hung Riley off the top with his leg caught under the turnbuckle. Powers then just blasted him with kicks until the ref pulled him away then Powers went in for more. Riley rolled to the outside and Powers followed. Riley turned the tides with Tiger Driver on the apron. He then followed it up with a dive over the top. Powers turned the tides with a drop-toe-hold which began the series of moves that led to Power’s defeat to Riley at Be the Best. Powers then went to springboard back inside. However he was caught by two knees from Riley. Riley then hit a running kick to further stun his opponent then hit the Irish Welcoming. It got him the win last time but Powers kicked out this time. Riley went for another but his leg buckled beneath him, Powers struck, first with a Power Suplex then the Immortality which focused on the injured leg. Riley fought back getting to the ropes and breaking the hold. The two then had a strike exchange with the fans now very vocal, booing and yaying at each hit, as you would expect with this typical SNW main event spot. Riley got the advantage, locked in the Mui Tai Clinch and hammered away with his knees before hitting the Irish Welcoming II for a close count. Riley got Powers back to his feet and went for the Famine Driver only for Powers to reverse into a leg lock. Riley reversed, then Powers reversed, then Riley, then Powers before Riley locked in the Ode to Shamrock. Powers crawled towards the ropes but then Riley dragged him back to the center. Powers had no choice but to tap. Riley Shamrock had retained, he may have lost the FUSE Championship earlier tonight but in the main event he triumphed over his former partner to retain the SNW World Championship. The iPPV ended with Riley celebrating.

Synergy Issue #12 Halloween Special
1) ‘El Hijo Nature Boy’ Pedro Flair vs. ‘Hollywood’ Dean Caufield: The night was sure to have plenty of costumes, Flair obviously came out in a full Flair robe as he usually does but the surprise was Caufield who came out dressed as Hulk Hogan. It was a good fun match with plenty of the real Flair and Hogan’s moves. Caufield missed a super leg drop from the top which allowed Flair to lock in the Figure Four.
2) Cain Jackal and Red Fire vs. Axel Parkland and Rose Parkland: No silly costumes here just wrestling. The Parkland’s are still learning, Axel only looks good when teaming with his big brother but time will come. He was snapped in half by a Spear on the outside allowing Fire to get the win with the Moonsault on Rose.
3) Cody Rejero vs. Elliot Reid: A very good singles match, a surprising match for the Synergy promotion. Reid is usually a tag competitor but showed here he might have a singles career in the future. He’s an out and out highflyer like Rich Swann or AR Fox and Cody played off that well. Reid has also been playing heel in Synergy which may be a precursor to a turn in SNW. Despite trying it all, he fell to the Pepsi Cutter when Reid dived off the top.
Beast and Jugg came out and cut a very basic promo about representing Synergy as part of the SNW Clash of the Duos event. Out came Joesph Stone and Noah Lee to challenge them.
4) Beast and Jugg vs. Joseph Stone and Noah Lee: The match was very one sided, the youngsters sold well and put up a good fight but eventually fell to the Utter Descruction.
5) Halloween Ball: Jacob Ryler vs. Baby J Jamerson vs. Justin Allusion vs. Kourtney Love vs. Baz Hepburn vs. Masked Marvel: This match was an over the top elimination bout for a number one contenders bout to the Synergy title. But with the added twist that everyone was in costume: Ryler was a vampire, Jamerson was Bockwinkel, Allusion was a pumpkin, Love was dressed as Picachu, Baz as a robot and Marvel didn’t understand the concept of fancy dress. In order the elimination was: Baz, Marvel, Allusion, Jamerson and then eventually Love, leaving Ryler the winner and the number one contender.
Intermission. Daniel Sinn came out during the break, took photos with the fans and signed autographs.
6) DUOS: Fatality Squad vs. Drew and Duke Parkland: The SNW Duos titles once again made their way over to Synergy. The Squad will soon be defending their titles in Clash of the Duos, so this may be their last defence. Duke usually teams with his brother Axel but here his partner was his father Drew, who haven’t wrestled since Demento ‘retired’ him in SNW. This was a good match with the heels from SNW wearing down young Duke and eventually allowing the faces to roar back. Duke looked great here but still fell to the Ball and Chain.
7) SYN: Dave Demento vs. Daniel Sinn: These two met last time in Synergy where we crowned the first ever Synergy champion. Demento was toned down from his usual SNW self, his stiff kicks and swearwords gone. The match was back and forth with plenty of good action. Demento really heeled it up and didn’t need his usual insults to get the crowd riled up. Sinn roared back into the match, the highlight being a big superplex into the ring, both men stayed down for the count but got up before the draw. Demento then took control with strikes and went for the running Punt Kick. He missed and Sinn went for the Original Sinn but just like last time, Demento hit the spinning back fist then followed it up with the running punt kick.

Clash of the Duos Night 1 2015 Live from the FUSE Arena only on SNW Player
The iPPV opened as it usually does at Clash of the Duos events, with the all the competitors coming out for a group photo. MCMG got a great response especially with it being in the FUSE arena where the students were trained and a lot of the early shows were held.
1) CoD: AirDevils (Travis Cantrell and Tom Gerard) vs. Mike Bockwinkel and Cameron Stone: Great opener to kick off what is sure to be three nights of great action. It’s a bold move by SNW to put on a nearly 15 minute match on first but it worked. Bock and Stone worked on Cantrell until the hot tag was made. The match went back and forth until the AirDevils sealed the win with the Bombs Away on Stone.
The SNW World Champion, Riley Shamrock made his way out. Riley explained why he isn’t competing in the tournament tonight. He said that he wants to be a fighting champion and said that every year the SNW World Champion is entered into CoD and never does any good. He explains that this is because they focus on their own title. He asked why should only the Duos titles be defended at Clash of the Duos, he said he will put the title on the line in all three nights of CoD, starting tonight.
2) CoD: Mockingbird (Dean Caufield and Elliot Reid) vs. Jacob Ryler and El Hijo de Angel Custodio: This match was considerably shorter than the last match but it still packed in plenty of action. Mockingbird looked a little cocky in this one, picking on El Hijo, slapping him around and trying to unmask him. Mockingbird hit the Springboard/ Missile Dropkick to go through.
Afterwards, Caufield kicked out at the downed El Hijo. Ryler slid in and asked him what the hell he was doing. Reid then pulled his partner away and laughed up the ramp.
3) CoD: Parkland Bros (Duke Parkland and Axel Parkland) vs. Coast to Coast (Donnie East and Chris West) [TCW]: This was the first match that had an outside team competing, the former SNW Duos Champions East and West looked strong but the Parkland’s were a potential banana skin. Parkland’s really put up a fight but fell to the Red Eye Flight.
Opposite reaction to the last match, Coast to Coast helped up the Parkland’s and raised their arms. Which got both teams a good crowd reaction.
4) CoD: Dave Demento and Jason Williams vs. Samoan Swag Team (Young Luka and Lil Kimo) [ISW]: From TCW to ISW and they were hoping to follow them into the next round. Demento and Jason have never teamed before and that showed. They were good individuals but couldn’t work together as a unit. Demento flipped off his partner and walked out, leaving Jason to fall to the Manuia Le Po.
5) CoD: Joseph Brothers (Jack Joseph and Matt Joseph) vs. Beast and Jugg [SYN]: The team from Drew Parkland’s Synergy promotion was hoping to follow the teams from TCW and ISW through to the next round. They played the big dominant team at first but then was caught out by the highflying Joseph brothers. Jack got the win after a Pele from Jack and Matt hit a dive to the floor.
6) CoD: Team Bennett (Ace Bennett and Matt Spade) vs. Calgary Sons (Kevin Hart and Cody Rejero): What a match, what a match. This shouldn’t have been in the first round, it could have easily been in the final. We all know what Bennett and Hart can do against each other but Spade and Rejero stepped up and put on a classic. Lots of false finishes in the final stages but it was a suicide dive from Spade that allowed Ace to hit the Syracuse Drop to seal passage through to the next round.
Intermission. The AirDevils were out at the break, entertaining the fans.
7) CoD: Revolution X1 (Chris Hammers and Jordan Devine) vs. Revolution X2 (Safu and LyNN): This was a bit of a shock match, for the first time in CoD history, the two RevX teams faced off. At first there was a lot of hesitating, neither of them wanted to fight, Some predicted Hammers would call rank and force Safu to lay down, but he didn’t and we had a good even tag match. They did however, at times seem like they were holding back a little, this was shown in the final stages where Safu and LyNN hit the Neckbreaker/Samoan Drop and Hammers didn’t get in the ring to break it up.
They teased a break up following the match but Hammers shook both his stablemates hands. Devine hesitated then tapped both Safu and LyNN on the back. The four (and Amy) left together.
8) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Jack Powers: This was a rematch of their bout at the Anniversary show. The match was very much the same but because it was such a good match, the fans enjoyed it. Of course, the match was also cut down a lot because it was given less time, so this kind of seemed like a best of compilation. Powers worked over the arm and looked all match to lock in the armbar but Riley prevailed, pulling Powers off the top rope, onto his shoulder and hitting the Irish Welcoming to retain.
9) DUOS: CoD: Fatality Squad (Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin): Blockbuster tag match to end the first night of action. The Guns got a holy moley loud ovation but that didn’t put off the champions, they had their game face on and were looking to knock out their former mentors. Both Thomas and Kagemann were partly trained by Shelley but they didn’t hold back, if anything, it inspired them. The Guns came the closest we’ve seen to the Squad being dispossessed. But despite their experience, the Guns, like all the other teams before them, fell to the Ball and Chain.
The Squad celebrated and got cheered for putting on a good match, they continue onto the next round as they look to become the first team that enters as champions and leave as champions. The fans stayed round to see Shelley and Sabin leave. They took the mic and put over SNW and how much it’s changed since they were here last and said they would stick around for the rest of the tournament.

I've been lurking this thread as much as I could during the summer, so I have an idea of what's going on still and of course it's always great to still see it going after all this time. 80 pages, impressive to say the least. Clash of Duos is always a depressing time for me reading this, because you manage to always put any of my characters up against each other in the early goings and then they never win. Haha, maybe this is the year for Ace as Team Bennett has a ton of momentum aside from losing the Warfare match, though I wouldn't be against SST, C2C, or Air Devils winning either. Great work as always.

Clash of the Duos Night 2 2015 Live from the FUSE Arena only on SNW Player
1) CoD: Mockingbird (Dean Caufield and Elliot Reid) vs. Joseph Brothers (Jack Joseph and Matt Joseph): The second night kicked straight off with the next round of the CoD, the highflyers were out as Mockingbird took on the Joseph Brothers. Lots of highflying spots, as you’d expect but what you might not expect is Mockingbird’s attitude, they were cocky and even cheated on occasions. That proved the difference, when Caufield rolled up Matt and held the tights to advance.
Post match, Jack and Matt confronted the MBirds about their attitude. There was some arguing before Reid slapped Jack. MBirds then left laughing up the ramp.
2) Kevin Hart vs. Chris Sabin: A great surprise match for the fans in attendance, fast paced action with the former SNW World Champion going toe-to-toe with the former TNA World Champion. The two battled hard against one another with plenty of good action. We saw all the moves: the 450 Splash, Hesitation Dropkick, Sharpshooter but not the Maple Leaf Revenge which was reversed and led to Sabin hitting the Cradleshock for the win.
3) CoD: Revolution X2 (Safu and LyNN) vs. Samoan Swag Team (Young Luka and Lil Kimo) [ISW]: The second match of the Clash of the Duos pitted Revolution X’s only team in the competition (since they eliminated their partners in the first round) against ISW’s hottest team, the SST. This led to an interested dynamic as Safu fought his fellow Samoans, he still fought hard and nearly got the win on several occasions. RevX's Samoan Drop/Neckbreaker pin was broken up and a pair of Superkicks the team from ISW got the win.
4) Battle Royal for No.1 Contendership to FUSE Championship: Carson Clark defeated Jason Williams, Dave Demento, Cain Jackal, Baby J Jamerson, Jacob Ryler, El Hijo de Angel Custodio, Noah Lee, Joseph Stone, Beast and Jugg [SYN]: This weirdly numbered eleven man over the top battle royal was held to determine the number one contender to Daniel Sinn’s title. Many of the youngsters went out early, Stone went up top but the team from Synergy pushed him to the floor on top of Lee. El Hijo was taken out by Demento. Ryler was rana’ed by Jason but then Jason was knocked out by Jackal, Jackal was soon taken out by Demento, then Beast and Jugg took out Demento. Leaving Clark to face the two giants. He managed to overcome the odds, like a true AirDevils leader and took out both men and became the number one contender.
Post match, Carson Clark celebrated but it was short lived as FUSE Champion, Daniel Sinn attacked him from behind. Sinn then posed with the title.
5) CoD: AirDevils (Travis Cantrell and Tom Gerard) vs. Team Bennett (Ace Bennett and Matt Spade): These two teams have faced off in two classics before with the Devils coming out on top both times. Like both times, the match was brilliant and that is to be expected with the history between these two teams (Ace being a former partner to Gerard, when they formed the original AirDevils team). The Sky High was hit but broken up, as was the Busaki Knee/bearhug. The Devils hit the Bombs Away which everyone thought it was it but Spade broke up the count leading to Ace locking in the Syracuse Lock for the submission win.
Intermission. Post match, in a possible face turn, Ace shook hands with the Devils. Spade didn’t which seems to hint that it was just a one off. Ace has been fairly tweener all this year, so it’s no great surprise.
6) Revolution X1 (Chris Hammers and Jordan Devine), Mike Bockwinkel, Cameron Stone and Jack Powers vs. Mike Hogan, Nick Jacobs, Cody Rejero, Parkland Bros (Duke Parkland and Axel Parkland): Mega 10 man tag to welcome the fans back from the break. In fairness, this was just a huge cluster. It wasn’t elimination so to begin with it was all over the place. When the tag rules were thrown out of the window, we saw a much more interesting match. Lots of false finishes and big moves to end. Cody took the final pin falling to a Last Minute Orders.
Post match, the heels came together to have their arms raised together but that was all it was. RevX went off separately, then Powers and finally Bock and Stone.
7) DUOS: CoD: Fatality Squad (Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann) vs. Coast to Coast (Donnie East and Chris West) [TCW]: This was the big one, a rematch of last year’s final in the second round. The Squad won last time out and became champions but the fans were behind the team from TCW to reclaim those titles one year on. The match was much more even than it was a year ago with both teams getting equal offence. The final stretch was amazing with stereo dives from C2C leading to a Red Eye Flight. But Thomas broke it up and hit the Ball and Chain to retain.
8) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Alex Shelley: SNW ended the second night of CoD with singles action but what excellent singles action. Former trainer Alex Shelley returned but he fought a man he didn’t train. The title was on the line and these two went all out in this twenty minute encounter. Shelley was very over but Riley got a big reaction too and that grew louder as the match wore on. Shelley nearly put the ‘Young Gun’ away several times but in the end had to submit to the Ode to Shamrock.
After the match, Chris Sabin (who was at ringside all match) entered to check on Shelley. Riley went to leave but Sabin stopped him. Sabin motioned for the belt and was overheard ‘tomorrow night’. Riley nodded, shook Sabin’s hand and then Shelley’s.

Wow, I believe this is the farthest Ace has ever made it in a CoD, but maybe I'm wrong. It's nice to see SST advance as well, honestly wasn't expecting that, though I don't expect them to win their next matches. Also nice to see Riley getting put over the MCMG in these shows, as that makes him look really good.

Clash of the Duos Night 3 2015 Live from the FUSE Arena only on SNW Player
1) CoD: Mockingbird (Dean Caufield and Elliot Reid) vs. Team Bennett (Ace Bennett and Matt Spade): When this match was announced we knew it may have been a show stealer and it didn’t disappoint. All of Team Bennett’s matches have been tag team classics so this was no suprise that this followed the trend. Meanwhile, Mockingbird’s new mean streak have led them to the final four in CoD, a spot they have not reached before. Lots of back and forth action, the fans were fully behind Bennett and Spade which is partly because they’re tweeners but also because the Birds went fully heel. Despite their best attempts the Birds were cut short after a springboard knee from Spade.
Afterwards, the Birds complained to the referee. They even took the mics and said this was a conspircary against them. They said they are the best team in SNW and everyone knows it. Fans boo’ed loudly over their promo, so much, it was hard to hear them speaking.
2) DUOS: CoD: Fatality Squad (Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann) vs. Samoan Swag Team (Young Luka and Lil Kimo) [ISW]: The second Semi-Final match had to follow such a hot opener, it struggled at first but then picked up about mid-way. Fans got behind the Samoans from ISW but the Squad looked strong in this one. The ISW team played massive underdogs and nearly stole the titles on numberous occasions. Luka used Kimo as a boost to hit a jumping Superkick to Kagemann on the top rope to send him crashing to the floor! They later went for the Manuia Le Po but it was broken up and soon the champs retained with the Ball and Chain.
3) Nick Jacobs vs. Dave Demento: This match slowed the pace down from the two hot openers, what was clear from this bout was that Demento can wrestle. Yes, we knew he could wrestle before but he put on a good technical match here with the former FUSE Champion. Demento went back to strikes but missed the F***tard and fell to the Jacobs Drop.
4) WOM: Beast Kong vs. Alicia Bennett: Quick squash match, the women’s division has kind of faded out of view recently. Something needs to happen to give the division new energy. The Sitout Powerbomb gave Kong another defence.
5) Calgary Sons (Kevin Hart and Cody Rejero) vs. Coast to Coast (Donnie East and Chris West) [TCW]: This was tag action but not in the tournament, both teams were already out, oddly enough they were both eliminated by tonight’s finalists. As you’d expect from these two, this was a great match, even better than the Semi-Final matches on earlier. Hart and Cody have struck up a really good sem-regular team, Cody’s been looking for a partner like Jason Williams who he had the same chemistry with and in Kevin he’s found a great partner. But don’t count out the TCW team, the former SNW Duos Champions. This great bout ended in a flurry of finishes, Cody and Kevin brought out the 450, Pepsi Cutter, Sharpshooter and the Maple Leaf Revenge but they fell to C2C’s Red Eye Flight.
6) Jack Powers vs. Mike Bockwinkel vs. Mike Hogan vs. Jason Williams: Odd four way action which was a way of giving some of SNW’s bigger names a spot on a busy card. The match allowed all four men in the ring but after the initial cluster, the match played out with two men in the ring at one time. Jason provided the highlights, fans are starting to cheer him more, it’s hard to cheer someone who hits so many great spots. It was Bockwinkel who got the win with the Bockwinkel Special.
7) FUSE: Daniel Sinn vs. Carson Clark: These two have faced off in memorable encounters before and this was the same once again, the difference being that Sinn is now champion, not Clark. Clark has struggled for form since he came back from injury. Still, he’s not back to his old form, that is clear in this match. Clark provided the big spots but eventually fell to the Original Sinn.
Intermission. Cody Rejero, Kevin Hart and TCW’s Coast to Coast came out to meet and greet.
8) Revolution X1 (Chris Hammers, Jordan Devine and Safu) vs. Alex Shelley and AirDevils (Travis Cantrell and Tom Gerard): Big six man action between two of SNW’s biggest and longest running stables, it’s a rematch of the 2014 Masters of Three final but with one change, Alex Shelley subbed in for AirDevil leader Carson Clark. Shelley is a tag team pro, not just alongside Sabin as the Guns but also, more recently in Japan as the Time Splitters, so he fitted in perfectly here. Lots of good action but teaming experience paid off here as RevX took the win with a Last Minute Orders on Cantrell.
9) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Chris Sabin: Great match, even better than yesterday’s bout between Riley and Shelley. Sabin really took the ‘Young Gun’ to the limit with his experience. Sabin was well over with the crowd but the fans have really taken to the Champion over the last three days and he’s become the most over guy in the FUSE Arena, a place where traditionally the Original 16 get the loudest cheers. Sabin used his kicks to take control but Riley is well known to use his feet too, so it was an interesting battle. Sabin kicked out of the Irish Welcoming II and managed to shrug off the Mui Tai Knees and hit a shock Cradleshock but the champ kicked out. Riley managed to battle back, hitting a springboard dropkick and then following it up with the Irish Welcoming to get the win.
Post match, Riley offered a handshake to the downed Sabin. Sabin accepted and was helped to his feet by the champion. Sabin then put the title around Riley’s waist and raised his arm to the clapping crowd.
10) DUOS: CoD: Fatality Squad (Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann) vs. Team Bennett (Ace Bennett and Matt Spade): Big main event, the champions were looking to become the first ever team to enter as champions and leave as champions, they have had a tough route to their second finals as they have beaten all outsider teams: MCMG’s, TCW’s Coast to Coast and earlier ISW’s Samoan Swag Team. Meanwhile, Team Bennett have really shown their quality beating equally tough teams: the Calgary Sons, AirDevils and Mockingbird. Now they were hoping for it to all pay off and win the Duos titles but the Squad were standing in their way, hoping to become the third team to win the CoD for a second time. Stamina was a huge factor in this match, both teams were pretty exhausted but especially Team Bennett. The Squad played on this, wearing down Spade. Matt played the guy in trouble and soon the hot tag was built up and the roof came off when the hot tag was made to the first ever Triple Crown Champion. Ace took on both members, even hitting two dives on opposite side of the ring. Spade really showed heart to get back in the match, they even hit the Busaki Knee/ Bearhug combo for a close call. The Squad fought back for their own close call with the Fall/Double Stomp. Even Kagemann’s Fire Tornado didn’t spell the end. Ace went to finish the match in style with the Syracuse Drop but the Squad fought it off, threw Spade to the outside and hit the Ball and Chain for yet another victory.
Kagemann and Thomas celebrated, they have won the 2015 edition of Clash of the Duos and in doing so, they have become the first team to enter as champions and leave as champions. Kagemann and Thomas were handed their titles and handed the trophy as the iPPV came to a close.

Post by Red Dragon on Oct 14, 2014 12:28:37 GMT -5
Alt:Pro Presents: Gold Fever
1) QUARTER: Patrick R. Everson vs. Ron Crockett: Unlike SNW tournaments, Alt:Pro just went straight into the action. These two rivals had a very hot opener, they faced off on the first show with Everson getting the win. Crockett worked over the arm of Everson and that led to the finish. The injured arm neutralized the ‘Ultimate Jock’s’ powergame allowing Crockett to lock in the armbar for the submission win. Crockett advances to the Semi’s.
2) QUARTER: Vincent Fury vs. Phenom: Before the match Alexander Kuleshov attacked Phenom. Hitting him with the pumphandle slam, kitchen sink kick and the AK47. The Russian then rolled Phenom into the ring giving Fury a simple win. Fury advances to the Semi’s.
3) Twisted Assassin vs. Nate Ryan and Tobias Black: At the last show, the boys from Detroit took on Assassin in singles action but fell easily. This time they were teaming up but still didn’t fare well against the masked killer. Assassin was in complete control hitting Ryan and Black with all the usual moves such as the Old School and the Yakuza kick. Assassin finished them both off in a quick time with the Assassin’s Fury.
4) QUARTER: Johnny Arsenic vs. Matt: Back to the tournament action and we had a good match but it was damaged by the length, it was kept short for the rest of the show. The match was pretty back and forth but out of nowhere Matt hit the Dominator to much applause from the crowd. Matt advances to the Semi’s.
5) QUARTER: Falcon vs. AJ Matthews: It’s hard to see why Alt:Pro continually book Falcon (formerly Derek or DJ), he’s sloppy in the ring and has no charisma. Luckily this was kept short and AJ got cheered well, no-more-so than when he put Falcon away with the Eastern Execution.
6) Dane Warron, Jake Swindell and Pablo ‘Speedy’ Gonzalez vs. Vincent Valintino, Antonio Benitez and DJ Hughes: These six-men didn’t have long but they certainly put on a show. The three youngsters have only wrestled on a few shows but they all look like the future of Alt:Pro. They proved it here against the more established wrestlers. Warron was the star but ‘Speedy’ hit the move of the match with a 450 to the floor. Fan favourite Warron got his first win with the Deathstrike which is a Rolling Cutter. Big celebrations by the youngsters post match.
Christopher Kennedy Jones came out and called out Kris Havok in a pretty basic Mike Bockwinkel rip off promo. Havok attacked him from behind, channelling some Dean Ambrose spirit. They looked like they would do a big brawl but CKJ escaped.
7) SEMI: Ron Crockett vs. AJ Matthews: The first semi-final pitted the submission specialist against the fans favourite. Crockett tried to follow the same blue print as the Quarters by working over the arm. AJ had it scouted and evaded it every time. AJ hit the Eastern Execution for the win. AJ advances to the final.
8) SEMI: Vincent Fury vs. Matt: This was a real barn burner, Matt came out looking for a fight and Fury stood and fought with him. Fury then backed down, knowing he couldn’t handle the brawl with Matt. Fury slowed down the pace but Matt battled back. Then Fury’s tag partner, the man Matt eliminated in the first round, Johnny Arsenic showed up, making the distraction and allowing Fury the win with the Fury Strike. Fury advances to the final.
9) Blaze Brothers vs. Arthur Williams and Rory Wiseman: These two teams faced off on the first show with the Blaze brothers getting the win. But since the first event, the Brits Williams and Wiseman have continued to team to improve their teamwork. It definitely worked as they went move-for-move with the brothers. This was the best match on the card to this point, minus the opener. It looked like the Blaze’s would take it with their T-Bone / Corkscrew Legdrop but Williams broke up the T-Bone forcing him into the corner and crotching Maxx on the top rope. Wiseman dealt with Maxx while Arthur hit the Excalibur for the win.
10) FINAL: Vincent Fury vs. AJ Matthews: The story of this match was that Fury has had little to do all night (minus the early fight with Matt) and so was fresher than AJ. Fury wore down AJ at first, locking him up in submissions. The two fought to the floor where AJ went for a powerbomb but Fury reversed into a back body drop. AJ began a comeback but that is when Johnny Arsenic ran out. He tried to get involved but was sent to the back. This allowed AJ to hit the Eastern Execution but Fury kicked out. The match wore on and Fury exposed a turnbuckle, then he used it and then hit the Fury Strike. But AJ kicked out! The two traded shots until AJ stunned Fury with a strike and hit a second Eastern Execution for the win. AJ Matthews is the first ever Alt:Pro Heavyweight Champion.

SNW continued their year of international dominance putting on three shows in Japan performing to over 700 people in their first three (of five) events in Japan. Here’s the talking points:
The Rising Revolution: Revolution X have performed very strong in Japan which have included three wins over the SNW World Champion, Riley Shamrock. On the first night Jordan Devine pinned the champ and as a result will receive a future World Title Bout. Also, Safu has looked particularly monstrous.
Team Bennett: Ace Bennett has been busy so far on tour, in both singles and tag action. He stole the show on night 2 as he battled to a 30 minute time limit draw with his longtime rival Kevin Hart. Then on night 3, shockingly, Mockingbird beat Ace and his partner Spade. But Mockingbird have been using some ‘questionable tactics’ recently. Ace and Matt have asked for a rematch.
No Stopping Them: The two time Clash of the Duos Winners and current Duos Champions, the Fatality Squad look like they are unbeatable. Their pop-up Doomsday Device finisher has put down all in their wake. Who will stop them?
Demento vs. Jaguar: These two young stars have battled each other in six-man tags over three nights with Demento’s team coming out on top all three times. Jaguar keeps changing his team in order to find the winning combination to beat Demento. Will this continue into the rest of the tour?
Kong the Destroyer: The Women’s Champion, Beast Kong has looked strong all tour. Winning two tag matches and defending the belt on night 3 against her two biggest rivals. What's in store for the champ?
Here’s the card for the next two shows, which includes talent from New Japan Pro Wrestling and the line-up for the Battle for Japan.

First Round Matches: Jet Jaguar vs. Dave Demento vs. Duke Parkland

Dang, you've been busy. Was kind of bummed to see Team Bennett lose in the finals of CoD, but it makes Fatality Squad look really strong, something that I hadn't really seen before that. Like to see Team Bennett so busy on the Japanese schedule, despite the loss to Mockingjay. This is still going well man, excited to read upcoming shows.

SNW in Japan
SNW completed their tour of Japan with two big shows: the first, the coveted Battle for Japan tournament; the second, was held in the iconic Korakuen Hall. Here’s the results.
How the Battle for Japan works: There will be five first round matches, all three way bouts. The winners of each match automatically go through to the next round (the Semi-finals). Then the competitors that didn’t take the fall or advance will go into an elimination Wildcard bout. The sole winner of which will be the final competitor through to the Semi’s. There will be three Semi-final bouts with the winners advancing to a three way final, where the winner of which will be crowned champion.

RECAP: It was a stellar day in Osksa as athletes from SNW and NJPW battled it out to be crowned the Battle for Japan. Dave Demento triumphed to become the 2015 Battle of Japan winner. Demento did so even though he lost his first match. However, in that first match, he was neither pinned or submitted. This allowed him to enter into the Wildcard, win it and reach the semi-final. He won a bout against the former two time FUSE Champ, Jack Joseph to reach the final, where he met rival Jet Jaguar. Demento managed to triumph, hitting Kota Ibushi with the running punt kick to seal the trophy. In non-tournament action RevX beat the teaming of SNW World Champion and Team Bennett. But Ace and Matt’s recent feud with Mockingbird came back to haunt them as the Birds distracted Ace which led to Hammers hitting the Lariat for the finish.
Show 5 - Tokyo, Korakuen Hall - 900 Attendance 1) Jet Jaguar, Jushin "Thunder" Liger [NJPW] and Tiger Mask [NJPW] beat Dave Demento, Cain Jackal and Jason Williams [12:18] when Jaguar hit the TTM on Demento. 2) Team Bennett (Ace Bennett and Matt Spade) beat Mockingbird (Dean Caufield and Elliot Reid) [16:46] when Ace hit the Syracuse Drop on Reid. 3) FUSE: Daniel Sinn beat Nick Jacobs, Cody Rejero and Carson Clark in a four way to retain [9:06] with the Original Sinn on Clark. 4) Revolution X (Safu and LyNN) beat Joseph Brothers (Jack and Matt Joseph), Parkland Bros (Duke Parkland, Axel Parkland) and Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and Kushida) [NJPW] in a four way [13:52] when Safu hit the Samoan Drop. 5) Revolution X (Chris Hammers and Jordan Devine) beat Kevin Hart and Mike Hogan [15:40] when Hammers hit the Last Minute Orders on Hart. 6) Kazuchika Okada [NJPW] beat Mike Bockwinkel [21:24] with the Rainmaker. 7) DUOS: Fatality Squad (Steven Kagemann and Bret Thomas) beat AirDevils (Tom Gerard and Travis Cantrell) to retain [23:02] with the Ball and Chain on Gerard. 8) SNW: Riley Shamrock beat Shinsuke Nakamura [NJPW] to retain [27:51] with the Irish Welcoming.
RECAP: SNW’s big show in the iconic Korakuen Hall didn’t disappoint. It opened with Jaguar bringing in some masked friends from NJPW to finally beat the newly crowned Battle of Japan winner and his team. Then Team Bennett got their win back from Mockingbird in a show-stealing match. Daniel Sinn retained in a four way. Safu and LyNN then continued a great tour for RevX winning a four way tag bout which included former SNW trainer Alex Shelley. Hammers and Devine then followed that up with another RevX win, this time over the volatile team of Hart and Hogan. Former two time SNW World Champion Mike Bockwinkel was put down for the three count by NJPW’s Kazuchika Okada. The dominant SNW Duos Champs, the Fatality Squad put down the AirDevils once again for another defence in their massive reign. Then in the final bout, SNW World Champion, Riley Shamrock had to contend with the hard hitting Shinsuke Nakamura. The man from NJPW pushed the champion to the limit but in the end, the ‘Young Gun’ was too hot to handle. Riley put the challenger down with the Irish Welcoming.

Synergy Issue #13 Christmas Special
1) Parkland Bros vs. Cain Jackal and Masked Marvel: With Cain’s usual partner out injured Cain recruited Masked Marvel. Marvel didn’t quite understand the rules of tag matches so Cain fell to the popular Parklands with a KFC.
The Parkland’s celebrated by putting on Santa hats and dancing around ringside. After they left Jackal confronted Marvel. Cain went to spear Marvel but missed allowing Marvel to lock in the Bearhug and leave Cain hurting on the floor.
2) Kourtney Love vs. Rose Parkland: Not a great women’s match, it is clear however, that Rose has improved and Love led her through an acceptable match here. Ending with Love hitting the Lovesault.
3) Cody Rejero and Baz Hepburn vs. Beast and Jugg: Good tag team action as the popular team known as ‘Your Mom’ in SNW really took it to the big bruisers. Baz played the face in peril, leading to the hit tag. Cody then cleaned house, hitting Jugg with the Pepsi Cutter to seal the win.
Cody and Baz celebrated post match, until Baz went under the ring and got a present for Cody. Cody opened it up and it was a Peter Capaldi Doctor Who Jacket. Cody loved his jacket and ran about the ring in it, then found another present in the coat jacket, a sonic screwdriver! Cody hugged Baz and went under the ring for Baz’s present. Baz opened it and it was a Cody T-shirt. Baz laughed and put it on. The two then celebrated with their presents.
4) Noah Lee vs. ‘El Hijo Nature Boy’ Pedro Flair vs. Baby J Jamerson vs. Joseph Stone: Four way action between El Hijo and the three greener members of the roster. But they put a good match together here which I would guess would be down to the road agent. After some good action El Hijo hit the Spanish Fly then locked in the Figure Four for a whoooing win.
Intermission. The Parkland siblings (Duke, Axel and Rose) came out in festive costumes (Santa, a snowman and Mrs. Claus) to give out presents. Then Cody, Baz and Kourtney showed up in matching costumes. They looked like they would face off until Cody shouted ‘we can’t fight, it’s Christmas’. And they all gave out candy canes and danced.
5) New Age Lady Killers vs. Mockingbird: SNW’s biggest tag team ever came together to deal with Mockingbird and they’re new cocky attitude. There was some great action in this one, even if it was toned down for the fans. Mockingird were the preverbal coal in the stocking as they beat the Killers fair and square with a roll-up.
Synergy Champion, Dave Demento marched out. He built up a big announcement. Saying this was something that all the ‘little fans’ need to hear. He was just about to tell everyone that you-know-who doesn’t exist when Jacob Ryler came out and told him to stop yapping and start tapping.
6) SYN: Dave Demento vs Jacob Ryler: Ryler usually plays heel in Synergy anyone can play anything. Demento was in control and had the fans hating him which made it easy for Ryler to have the crowd in the palm of his hands for the comeback. Lots of good action led to the finish, a superplex leading to a missed springboard kick from Ryler which allowed Demento to hit the spinning backfist into a running punt kick.
The Christmas show couldn't end with a "Bah Humbug" so The Parkland family, Daniel Sinn, Cody, Baz and Love all came out to chase him off. They then celebrated with the crowd handing out presents.
