Toronto, Ontario1) Matt Spade and Jet Jaguar vs. Gareth Ashdown and Elliot Reid: Surprisingly good tag action to start, both teams were a bit thrown together. Reid usually teams with Dean Caufield but he looked even better here teaming with Ashdown. But even a hot tag late on couldn’t get the win as Jag hit the T.T.M for the win. 2) Daniel Sinn vs. Dean Caufield: Simple stuff once again for Sinn. He’s faced the less experienced roster members so far this year and this was a straight forward win. Caufield is a decent highflyer and got some moves in but fell to the Original Sinn. After the match, Sinn cut a promo on the Parkland family as a whole. Calling them a bunch of “lower-class scum-bags” saying they all came about just because father Drew couldn’t keep it in his pants. 3) El Hijo de Angel Custodio vs. Jacob Ryler vs. Rory Wiseman: A bit of a strange three-way. El Hijo is looking better and better but needs a name change if he’s going to make it, Ryler is always dependable and Wiseman didn’t see much offence but bumped well. El Hijo wins in this short sprint match with a great looking Spanish Fly to Wiseman. 4) Kourtney Love and Carson Clark vs. Amy Lee and Jason Williams: The night of odd matches continues, the obvious tag partner for Amy would be someone from RevX but they’re all in six-man tag action later. Kourtney is a new member of the roster, she’s inexperienced but just 18! The match itself was very good. Jason and Clark are two of the best highflyers in the business so their exchanges was excellent. Amy even had time with Clark which worked well since Clark is pretty small. Clark hit a springboard moonsault to the outside which allowed Amy to hit the Downward Spiral on a spirited Kourtney. 5) Ace Bennett vs. Dave Demento: Basic squash match, Demento was announced from Toronto, so he got the support from the crowd. Ace dominated but was cocky on one or two occasions which allowed Dave time to get back in it. There was no chance and Ace made doubly sure of it with the Syracuse Lock and Drop but Demento was passed out so couldn’t tap to the lock so the referee called for the bell. Demento seemed shaken after the finish and medics came out to check on him. He refused any help to the back and got a standing ovation from the crowd. Either he was still feeling the effects of the Syracuse Drop or he can act very well. 6) Adrenaline vs. AirDevils: Finally the right partners were found for this tag match as Jackal and Static took on Cantrell and Gerard. It’s great to see how far Cantrell has come and he has replaced Clark well as Gerard’s partner. He’s not quite as good of a partner as Clark but almost. The match itself was very good as you would expect from these four. Adrenaline stopped Gerard tagging out but then the hot tag was made and Cantrell took out everyone, hitting a Springboard SSP to seal the win. Intermission. The AirDevils stayed out at intermission to sign and talk to fans, their always a fan favourite wherever they are. However, towards the end of the break Static and Jackal ran out accompanied by their leader Steven Kagemann. The Adrenaline trio beat down the AirDevils until Carson Clark ran out with a chair to scare them off. 7) Steven Kagemann vs. Jack Powers vs. Evan Pagano vs. Cody Rejero: Four-way action here which included the FUSE Champion but was non-title. Lots of good action in this one as all four men looked to jumpstart their 2013. Cody and Kagemann have had a strong start, Kagemann even gaining a win over former champ Powers at the last show. Pagano has had a mixed bag of results but looked good here. All four came close to stealing it at several times in the match but the match ended in a finisher flurry: DeathDrive on Rejero, Power Suplex on Kagemann and then Pagano snuck in for the Calling on Powers. 8) Mike Bockwinkel vs. Jack Joseph: Bock was looking to avenge his earlier loss in the tour in Vancouver, plus his team lost last week to Joseph’s. Bock was the more aggressive of the two to start, wanting to get that win back from Jack to make sure he didn’t start his 2013 like 2012 went. Joseph fought back with his high flying offence to keep the quick pace and wear down the former World Champion. Bock hit a quick back rake and low blow when the referee wasn’t looking to turn the tides, slowing the pace to take back control. Jack’s Pele kick was always a threat but Bock dodged it late in the match and hit the Bockwinkel Special to earn the win. 9) Fire and the Fury and Bret Thomas vs. Revolution X: Big six-man tag between the reigning Duos Champions and the big powerhouse against the only three active male members of RevX: Hammers, Riley and Safu. Early on frequent tagging between the Duos champs kept them on the front foot. However, an early hot tag to Safu turned the tides. Thomas was then tagged into combat the big Safu and Thomas took control even hitting a big powerful belly to belly suplex. From there the heel team took command cutting Safu off from his teammates. Safu eventually made the tag and RevX came out the fresher men. Riley took a dive to the outside but Thomas moved which sent Riley crashing to the barricade. With the man advantage the heels took the match after Thomas hit the Fall on Hammers. Post match, Safu argued with Riley. Although not really speaking English you could see he was upset with Riley’s decision making by taking the dive to the outside. Hammers came between them once more but Riley waved his hand at them and walked backstage alone. Backstage Mike Bockwinkel was seen entering into his locker room, he walked over to bag then stopped in his steps. The camera panned round to see that sitting outside of his bag was Red Dragon’s mask. The very mask that Bockwinkel won last year. Bockwinkel looked around to see if the person who put the mask out was still there, but he wasn't. Bock then he lifted the mask up to eye-level. 10) SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Petey Williams: Great main event with a great great crowd. The Canadian crowd loved both 50/50 with duelling “Let’s Go Hart, Let’s Go Petey” chants throughout. The match started with a whole section of chain wrestling, the fans weren’t too much into it but they knew that this was going to be a long one. The pace kicked up and a dive to the outside was next as Hart went over the top. Hart sent Petey into the railings then as Hart ran at him Petey launched Hart over the barricade and into the crowd. Hart just about got back in the ring before the count out and Petey took control. That was until Hart hit a jumping kick to block Petey’s springboard attempt. Hart then went on the apron, where Petey landed and hit a Death Valley Driver on the apron. The two just about got back in the ring before the count out and the match continued. The two slugged it out before they went for the go home sequence. Hart missed the 450 Splash but rolled though, Petey took back control going for the Canadian Destroyer. However, Hart landed on his feet, hit a superkick and rolled Petey up in the Small Package Driver for the Maple Leaf Revenge to retain. Hart celebrated post match with the fans on their feet applauding both men. Hart helped Petey up and Petey raised Hart’s hand. Petey then started a “Best in the World” chant for Hart. However the celebration was ruined by Ace Bennett who ran out and took both men out. The crowd gave Ace nuclear heat for taking out both Canadians.

Montreal, QuebecAll nine competitors of the Battle for Canada made their entrances for a group photo. Here’s some notes on their crowd reactions: the biggest face pop was for FUSE Champion Cody Rejero, Mike Bockwinkel got even louder hate than usual after wiping his backside with the Canadian Flag and last out was Kevin Steen who had his name chanted loudly but he didn’t really seem to care. 1) El Hijo de Angel Custodio and DJ Hughes vs. Jet Jaguar and Dave Demento: Simple tag match to start, with the action mainly coming from the two masked athletes. DJ and Demento got some action in but neither looked particularly great. Jag’s TTM gave his team the win. 2) BfC: Mike Bockwinkel vs. Jason Williams vs. Carson Clark: The first match of the 2013 Battle of Canada contained a former SNW World Champ, a former FUSE champ and a former Duos Champ. Bockwinkel seemed a little off in this match, like he was distracted, constantly pausing over moves. As a result the two highflyers were constantly in the match. Clark hit the Swann Dive DDT for a shock win to advance to the finals later tonight. 3) Amy Lee and Wasp vs. Alicia Bennett and Kourtney Love: This was the first all women’s tag match in SNW. The match didn’t last long, Amy and the debuting Wasp controlled the match leading them to stop Alicia from making the tag out. Wasp is very MMA/submission based which is pretty unique for a female. Alicia did make the hot tag and Love came in taking both women out. Love hit the Lovesault (Moonsault) on Amy but Wasp snuck into hit the Deadly Sting (Shinning Wizard) for the win. After the match, Amy and Wasp confronted each other. Wasp offered the handshake to Amy, which was accepted but then Wasp laid Amy out with a few punches. She then trash talked the downed Amy, pointing out that if Amy thought she was going to be the top woman in SNW she was wrong. 4) BfC: Chris Hammers vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Cody Rejero: The second bout of the Battle of Canada pitched up another former World, Duos and current FUSE champion. With Carson winning the first qualifier it showed that this was open for anyone to win. Lots of good action in this one, although the stronger of the three Hammers wasn’t dominant. However, the “Irish Doomsday” still got the win after hitting the Last Minute Orders on Kagemann. 5) Daniel Sinn vs. Jacob Ryler: Sinn has been facing mainly less experienced roster members on the Canadian tour so far, so it was good to see him against someone a little more even. Despite this Sinn was always the stronger and was going to win. The Original Sinn spelt the end for Ryler. Sinn cut the same promo as he did last show calling the Parkland’s a group of “lower-class scum-bags” saying they all came about just because father Drew couldn’t keep it in his pants. 6) BfC: Kevin Steen vs. Bret Thomas vs. Jack Joseph: The final Battle for Canada qualifier had the return of Kevin Steen to SNW alongside a big powerhouse who has been on quite a roll this year and the former FUSE Champ, “the Flying Saint”. Steen played a heel but was treated by a face by the crowd, he had some big hitting battles with Thomas while Jack played the highflyer against the two bigger guys. Steen hit the Package Piledriver on Joseph before squaring off with Thomas. Thomas came out on top finishing Steen off with the Fall. Intermission. We now know tonight’s main event in the final of the Battle of Canada 2013. Carson Clark will face Chris Hammers and Bret Thomas. 7) Revolution X vs. Elliot Reid and Gareth Ashdown: The action continued after the break with the tentative team of Riley and Safu taking on youngsters Reid and Ashdown. Elliot and Gareth didn’t stand much of a chance in this one but as it was all looking good for RevX they began to argue. Reid hit a dropkick while Ashdown rolled up Riley. After the match as Ashdown was leaving he was attacked by Mike Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel dropped him with the Bockwinkel Special twice. Then Bock pulled out the Red Dragon mask he took off Dragon and put it on Ashdown before hitting the Championship edition of the Bockwinkel Speical. Riley and Safu argued post match, with Hammers concentrating on his own match he didn’t come out to stop them arguing. Safu pushed Riley which began a shoving match, Riley then kicked at Safu which only angered the Samoan further. So Safu picked up Riley and laid him out with the Burning Hammer! 8) Kevin Hart and AirDevils vs. Ace Bennett and Adrenaline: Big six-man tag combining two matches announced for “One Night Down Under”, without the leaders of the two stables. Of course Bennett stayed out of the way of the SNW World Champion to keep their encounter fresh in Australia. The action was quick and fast and the fans loved Bennett’s encounter with his former tag partner Tom Gerard, even if it was brief. In the end Travis missed a dive, Jackal took out Hart with a Spear which allowed Bennett to finish off Gerard with the Syracuse Bound. “Wait and Bleed” played and the Duos Champions came out to a mixed response. Some were cheering the Canadian Arsenic while the slight majority were booing the heel team. Evan Pagano then came out to cheers but the Duos Champions took the mic. They laughed at him asking who he would bring out as a tag partner, they called him a “serial loser” who will never amount to anything in SNW. Pagano then took the mic and said he did have someone lined up. Then out came Devin Curtis and the fans went wild. Pagano and Curtis sprinted down to the ring and got the match started. 9) DUOS: Fire and the Fury vs. STL Connection: Great match which really benefited from a red hot crowd. The crowd were already hot from the matches before but having Curtis appear just hyped them up even more. The action itself was top drawer, as good as you’ll see in a tag match. Arsenic and Fury heeled it up while the STL were clear favourites. Arsenic and Fury seemingly took out Curtis by double suplexing him onto the metal barrier separating the fans and the ring! As F&F moved in on Pagano, he managed to fight back and with help from Curtis which allowed the two to hit the Calling (Pagano) then 450 Splash (Curtis) to pick up the pin and win the titles. Big celebration post match as Evan Pagano and Dean Curtis won the belts. Arsenic and Fury slithered away swearing revenge. 10) BfC Final: Carson Clark vs. Chris Hammers vs. Bret Thomas: This was an interesting match, since Hammers and Thomas are rivals who will face off in Australia but the story of this match was that Hammers and Thomas just wanted to hit chunks out of each other but the highflying Clark kept interrupting. The fans were fully behind the underdog Clark, although in normal terms he wouldn’t have a chance against these two, he certainly got his chances. Thomas is looking the best he has ever been both in looks and skills, even his persona is working much better and the crowd hated him. Highlight of the match was Hammers attempting a suplex from inside the ring to the outside but Clark hit a diving sunset flip on Hammers sending all three men to the outside. The three battled on with Clark hitting a double springboard dropkick and the fans believed he could win it. Thomas then hit the Fall on Clark to finish that dream, then Hammers hit a Lariat on Thomas and hit the Last Minute Orders on Clark to win the Battle of Canada 2013.

NEXT SNW iPPV: ONE NIGHT DOWN UNDER Live from Melbourne, Australia only on Go Fight Live FINAL CARD
DUOS Championship STL Connection vs. Fire and the Fury Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury were riding high on a wave of momentum. They beat Hart and Bennett to win the Duos titles and went onto win the Clash of the Duos. They came into the New Year with the titles on their shoulders but left without them. At our last show Evan Pagano showed up bringing his long time tag partner Devin Curtis with him. When the dust was settled Pagano and Curtis known as the STL Connection walked out with the belts. Now Arsenic and Fury get a chance to win their belts back.
Mike Bockwinkel vs. Red Dragon Just announced, Red Dragon will return to SNW in Australia. This all happened after Mike Bockwinkel saw the Red Dragon mask in his locker room. Bockwinkel later attacked a fellow Welsh wrestler, Gareth Ashdown and taunted Dragon by using the mask. Bockwinkel went even further on Twitter challenging Dragon to show up in Australia instead of playing ‘Mind Games’ but later said that Dragon wouldn’t show up since be beat him last time to win his mask. Dragon was quick to reply with a video reply on YouTube. He said that he hasn’t played any mind games but will show up in Australia to stop Bockwinkel’s injustice.

One Night Down UnderLive from Melbourne, Australia only on Go Fight LivePre-show) Elliot Reid, Dean Caufield and Gareth Ashdown vs. Rory Wiseman, DJ Hughes and Dave Demento: It’s the youngster’s six-man tag to kick off, the face team seemed to team better but had problems due to Ashdown’s neck injury. This led to the heels focusing on Ashdown and getting the win via The Sleeper (GTS) from Demento. 1) A.J Matthews vs. Jason Williams: Good action to kick off the show, this was AJ’s return match from injury and the time off seems to have done him well. AJ isn’t just a poor man’s Bret Thomas anymore, he’s going quicker which is refreshing to see a big man do in SNW. Jason worked well off him but the match was only going one way. The Eastern Execution spelled the end for Jason. AJ got a good applause after the match, the fans liked his quicker style and it seemed he turned face in the process. 2) Wasp vs. Kourtney Love: The first ever women’s bout on iPPV was the best we’ve seen so far in the women’s divison. As we’ve said before Wasp is MMA based while Love is speed based so the match worked well. Wasp dominated but Love had a few near falls but the Deadly Sting (Shinning Wizard) gave Wasp the iPPV win. 3) Daniel Sinn vs. Duke Parkland: This was Duke’s first match in SNW and he was supported by his younger siblings Axel and Rose who came out to the ring with him. However despite this the match was very one sided. Sinn toyed with Duke a few too many times which Duke used to his advantage and nearly got an upset. Sinn taunted Axel and Rose on the outside before dropping Duke with the Original Sinn. Post match, Axel and Rose came into check on Duke. Sinn saw this and taunted Axel. Despite only being in his teens Axel squared up to Sinn but Sinn punched him to send him to the floor. Sinn then went after Rose, pulling her by the hair and went for the Original Sinn but by the time he did so both Axel and Duke had recovered and double dropkicked Sinn to the outside. The three Parkland children stood side-by-side in the ring as their father’s former tag partner exited up the ramp. 4) Adrenaline vs. AirDevils: Big six-man action which really set the crowd alight (but that’s usually the case with the AirDevils) There was plenty of good action in this one but the highlights were from Clark and Kagemann. Clark really lives upto the billing as ‘the fastest wrestler alive’ while Kagemann has started 2013 very well. As you’d expect in an SNW multi-man there was big dive spot, in this match it was dive after dive after dive. But in the end the three man Bombs Away gave the Devils the win. After the AirDevils left, Static and Jackal argued with Kagemann but the leader got his group under control and the three made their exit. 5) FUSE: Cody Rejero vs. Jack Joseph vs. Jet Jaguar vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio: A bit chucked together four-way but the match worked well, plenty of highflying from the challengers. Jaguar impressed the most out of everyone and took the fight to the champion. The action was pretty much non-stop and continued from the fast pace of the last match. Cody caught El Hijo with the Pepsi Driver to retain. 6) Bret Thomas vs. Chris Hammers: These two have been facing off recently, firstly Thomas won a three way including Hammers, then Thomas pinned Hammers in a six-man tag but Hammers got the most recent and biggest win by winning a three way for the Battle of Canada. The match style completely changed from the previous matches, and is quite unlike what we usually see in SNW, there was lots of brawling. Thomas is looking his best he has ever looked and went toe-to-toe with the former SNW World Champ. Thomas looked like he had it won once or twice but fell to the Last Minute Orders. Intermission. FUSE Champ Cody Rejero, Jack Joseph, the AirDevils and A.J Matthews all came out to take pictures with the Aussie crowd. A.J coming out with the faces all but confirms his face turn. 7) Riley Shamrock vs. Safu: This was an odd one since these two are both members of Revolution X but decided to take on one another so they can get on better. Like the previous match there were plenty of heavy hits, one mui-tai knee in particular busting Safu’s nose open causing blood to pour out (and the Australian crowd loved it). Amy Lee was at ringside but Hammers came out when Riley had the Ode to Shamrock locked in. Safu fought out of the Chickenwing and went for the Burning Hammer but Riley locked in the Ode to Shamrock and had Safu tapping. Post match, Hammers and Amy entered the ring and helped Safu up. Hammers told Riley and Safu to shake hands. Riley offered the hand and Safu went to shake but then he touched his nose and saw the blood. Safu pushed Riley over and Hammers came between them. Riley then got up and laid Safu out with a head kick! Riley left and Hammers was left with his team falling apart. 8) Mike Bockwinkel vs. Red Dragon: This match never really started. Bock came out to the loudest boo’s of the night then Dragon came out to a heroes reception. The bell rung and they circled the ring for a bit soaking in the atmosphere before Bock stopped still. Dragon wondered what he was doing then got attacked from behind by two men from the crowd. Bockwinkel joined in the three-on-one beatdown before turning to the crowd with his two attackers who turned out to be Dragon’s brothers Sam and Lee Kineval. 9) DUOS: STL Connection vs. Fire and the Fury: The crowd were pretty hot from the last two segments and wanted a good match and they got a great one here. The fans loved the STL Connection and loathed the former champs. Curtis and Pagano took control first off then Arsenic and Fury came back into the bout due to some ‘questionable’ tactics such as illegal tagging and a low blow. This only angered the Aussie fans more and the roof blew when Curtis made the hot tag to Pagano. Pagano took out both men before Curtis hit a dive to the outside on a retreating Fire and the Fury. Pagano brought Arsenic back in the ring for the Calling, then Curtis flew from the top rope with a 450 to seal the win. 10) SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Ace Bennett: The main event’s of main events, it’s the match that’s been years in the making. Hart’s SNW career has followed that of Ace’s (small tag team, FUSE Champ, SNW Champ) but now he was up against the first ever SNW Triple Crown Champ. The fans didn’t really boo Bennett despite him really playing the heel, the Australian fans just wanted a treat and they certainly got one here. The match stalled a bit in the early goings, telling the fans that this was going to be a long one. The match only really kicked in about ten minutes in when Hart hit a Brainbuster on the apron, Ace luckily got back in the ring before the countout. Bennett hit the Shinning Wizard for a close count and then began to took control, slowing the pace. Ace tried for the Syracuse Drop but Hart threw Ace off the top and went for the 450 Splash. Ace got his knees up and rolled Hart up in a pin but Hart kicked out. Ace then immediately locked in the Syracuse Lock. The fans pleaded with Hart not to tap out and Hart nearly passed out. However, with the crowd’s support Hart got out of it and after a small passage of moves locked in the Sharpshooter. The fans were now chanting for Ace to tap out but he managed to slowly crawl to the ropes. The two groggily got to their feet and traded shots with the crowd chanting “ohh” and “boo” when Hart and Ace respectively hit one another. Hart’s superkick ended the exchange but not the match as Ace kicked out. Hart set Ace up on the top rope but Ace was waiting. Ace took control and went for the Syracuse Drop but couldn't get Hart off the top. So instead Ace continually punched Hart until the referee came over to stop him (since they were on the top rope, Hart was touching a rope) Hart then leant back hitting a kind of Pele kick knocking Ace off the top into the referee! Hart pulled himself back up but Ace bounced up to his feet, sprinted to the ropes and hit the Syracuse Drop. But there was no referee! Ace broke up his pin-count and shouted for a new referee to come out. Alicia Bennett then ran out and Ace told her to wait in the back but she went to go and check on Hart. Ace kept his focus on the match and tried reviving the referee but a new referee ran out. Hart then got back to his feet and hit another Superkick to Ace. Hart then went for the Maple Leaf Revenge but Ace floated behind and sent Hart into the corner. Ace charged at him with a high knee but was then caught by a running powerbomb by Hart. Hart then rolled Ace’s legs over his head and caught him in the Small Package Driver, Hart hit the Maple Leaf Revenge and the referee made the 3-count. After the match Hart was exhausted but still celebrated briefly his title retain with Alicia, the crowd were happy with Hart winning but did feel for Ace who did have the match won at one point. Ace stayed seated in the ring and called over the referee to complain, he couldn’t believe he lost. Hart then offered to help Ace up, it looked like Ace was going to accept it but instead he rolled to the outside. “This is far from over Hart, it’s only just began,” Ace commented as he made his exit. Meanwhile, Hart celebrated with Alicia in the ring.

Black Dog Led Zeppelin Weekend: Night 1 Be the Best Night 1 Qualifying
1) BLOCK C: A.J Matthews vs. Jason Williams: Great way to kick off the Be the Best matches with a rematch from the iPPV opener. Jason was looking to get payback from his loss but A.J was determined to get the win. The Eastern Execution gave A.J another win.
2) BLOCK B: Johnny Arsenic vs. Safu: Two athletes who are mainly tag team competitors faced off in this one. Safu was wearing a face mask to protect his nose which was injured at the last show. Arsenic did well to wear down Safu, who played the face in this one. Arsenic nearly won via count-out after a drop-toe hold into the barricade. However, ironically the Burning Hammer gave Safu the win.
3) BLOCK A: Carson Clark vs. Jack Joseph: The match started with a handshake and went into some great highflying. The match was only kept short but it had plenty of action, since the competitors are nicknamed “the fastest wrestler alive” and the “Flying Saint”. Some saw it as a surprise that Clark won but if you followed his development recently it wasn’t too much for a surprise.
SNW World Champion Kevin Hart and Alicia Bennett made their way out to the ring and called out his challenger for the Be the Best iPPV, Chris Hammers. Hammers entered with Amy Lee and the four came face-to-face. Hart congratulated Hammers on his Battle of Canada win. Hammers challenged Hart to a mixed man tag tomorrow night. Hart and Alicia accepted.
4) BLOCK D: Vincent Fury vs. Jack Powers: This was a rematch of Fury’s first match in SNW, however it didn’t go to plan. Powers missed the Australian trip because of an injury and it seemed to be irritating him. Fury focused in on this and hit the Fury Strike pretty early on to pick up the win.
5) BLOCK D: Steven Kagemann vs. Cody Rejero: Good action to lead into the break. The match was the first past ten minutes so it slowed the pace at first before kicking into high gear. Kagemann has looked very impressive so far this year and it continued here after he put the FUSE Champion away with the DeathDrive.
Intermission. Fans are hyped over the return of Mike Hogan, it was announced he would be main eventing tonight. Also it was announced that Red Dragon was in the building.
6) BLOCK A: Ace Bennett vs. Jet Jaguar: Great way to welcome the fans back from the break. The match was only short but it was full throttle, fast paced all the way. Despite a spirited fight, Ace hit Syracuse Bound for the win.
Red Dragon made his way out to a great response. He said he was outnumbered at the iPPV so he’s going to bring someone along to take on his brothers tomorrow night.
7) BLOCK B: Evan Pagano vs. Riley Shamrock: Great action that on any other night would have main evented. Riley had a great break out last year in Be the Best when he almost topped his group after going to a tiebreak with Henry Edwards. Pagano seemed to just edge Riley but Riley would not go down. The match seemed to be going to the 20 minute time limit but Riley hit the Irish Welcoming to seal the win just before the time limit.
After the match Pagano offered a handshake to Riley, the young gun stalled before accepting. Pagano then held Riley’s arm up to the crowd.
8) BLOCK C: Mike Hogan vs. Bret Thomas: Hogan got the response of the night as the crowd gave him a hero’s welcome. However he had a tough opponent in the form of the powerful Bret Thomas. At first Hogan used his quickness to outwit Thomas before Thomas used his size and strength to take control. The fans cheered on Hogan and encouraged the fight back. Again the match went close to the time limit and Thomas pulled out the Screwdriver for a close count, Hogan responded with a Curb Stomp but the match continued down to the wire. Thomas went for the Fall to seal the win but Hogan slipped over the top rope, hit a jumping kick and nailed the Springboard Elbow to seal the 2 points.

Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin Weekend: Night 2 Be the Best Night 2 Qualifying
1) BLOCK A: Carson Clark vs. Jet Jaguar: Nice fast paced opener, lots of quick action which put over both men. It has to be said, a longer match between these two would be great. But for now, Clark gets another win with the Swan Dive DDT.
2) BLOCK D: Steven Kagemann vs. Jack Powers Travis Cantrell: It was announced that Jack Powers has pulled out of the tournament due to injury and has been replaced by AirDevil, Travis Cantrell. No news on Powers’ injury but it was a good opportunity for Cantrell. However, he came up against a red hot Kagemann who hit the Fire Tornado for the win
3) BLOCK C: Mike Hogan vs. Jason Williams: Great, fast paced match between the returning British star and a athlete who has been milling about ever since losing the FUSE title. However, Jason was going all out to try and match Hogan. The match didn’t last long but had plenty crammed in it. Jason missed a 450 which led to a Futurism.
Mike Bockwinkel and the Kineval brothers, Sam and Lee made their entrance and Sam took the mic, he mocked his brother Red Dragon calling him a “mewling quim”. Dragon came out and said he could have picked many of his friends he has made in wrestling but decided to use an old quote to decide who to battle “Bockwinkel’s little boy”, Dragon said “My enemies enemy is my friend. And you did tell me I could pick anyone”. Then Nick Jacobs entered to a great reaction, he kept his eyes on Bockwinkel before he and Dragon charged down to the ring.
4) Red Dragon and Nick Jacobs vs. The Kineval Brothers: Dragon and Jacobs took full control of this one from the bell and at first seemed like an all out brawl. Dragon and Lee spilled to the outside, and with the referee not looking, Bockwinkel got involved. Later as Dragon and Jacobs controlled the match, Bockwinkel jumped on the apron to distract the referee and turn the tides. Nick Jacobs looked good in the ring, it’s good to see him back. However, his return ended on a sour note as he went for the Jacobs Drop and Bockwinkel attacked him from behind causing a DQ.
Post match, Bockwinkel and the Kinevals’ beat down Dragon and Jacobs to nuclear heat. The fans were looking towards the entrance, suspecting someone to make the save but no-one did.
5) BLOCK D: Vincent Fury vs. Cody Rejero: A good little match, nothing too special. Although Fury and Arsenic are great as a team, it seems they are pretty basic as singles competitors. Cody carried the match and his charisma kept the crowd interested. The FUSE champ hit the Pepsi Driver to pick up the two points.
6) BLOCK B: Johnny Arsenic vs. Riley Shamrock: Again, as in the previous match Arsenic didn’t have too much skill to show off. However, the fans love Riley and he is a great competitor. He’s always been something special ever since the students division and looks on course to take Block B with a Irish Welcoming.
Intermission. Some fans are trying to work out who is leading each block, but there’s no need to get your calculators out yet. As SNW will post how the blocks are going after tonight’s action.
7) BLOCK C: Bret Thomas vs. AJ Matthews: Battle of the former partners of Milita, this was their first match against each other since the split and the two tore chunks out of each other. The fans got into this the moment the bell rung and the two started punching. It was just an absolute brawl which ended in a countout after the two brawled into the crowd.
8) Kevin Hart and Alicia Bennett vs. Chris Hammers and Amy Lee: This was probably the most high profile match the women have been involved in. And the women certainly didn’t play second fiddle to the men, actually they were in the match much more. Hammers tried to heel it up by taking on Alicia but the fans were behind him. In the end Hammers hit a Lariat on Hart and Amy got the pin on Alicia with a Downward Spiral.
9) BLOCK B: Evan Pagano vs. Safu: Big semi-main event as one half of the Duos champions took on a former two time Duos champion. Safu got a win at the last event while Pagano is still searching for his first points after losing to Riley. Safu is looking the best he has ever been even with the mask on protecting his nose but still had a headstrong Pagano to beat. Safu so nearly got the win but on the 18th minute Pagano downed Safu with the SicKick.
10) BLOCK A: Ace Bennett vs. Jack Joseph: Great main event, Joseph has been floating around the midcard for a while now. Jack is seen as a reliable hand for SNW and put on a great match here. Meanwhile, Bennett is probably the favourite to win the entire tournament but was given a scare here. Move of the night was a Bennett brainbuster on the apron followed by a Suicide Dive when Jack eventually got to his feet. Ace went for the Syracuse Drop but Jack tried the Pele but missed. Ace then hit a missile dropkick, Shinning Wizard then locked in the Syracuse Lock to get the victory.

The Way of the World Be the Best Night 3 Qualifying
1) BLOCK A: Jet Jaguar vs. Jack Joseph: The final night of qualifying kicked off with some highflying action. Both of these competitors went into the match on zero points so were looking to pick up their first points. Really good action in this one, Jag is looking better and better with every match but fell to the Pele Kick.
2) BLOCK C: Bret Thomas vs. Jason Williams: This was a heel vs. heel match so probably not the best match to put on second. Both men are out and looking for their first win, Jason has been on a bit of a losing streak since he lost the FUSE title last year and it continued here as Thomas hit the Fall.
3) Elliot Reid, Dean Caufield and Duke Parkland vs. Adrenaline and Dave Demento: A bit random tag match here, mainly the less experienced members of the roster but with Adrenaline. Stattic and Jackal’s experience put them in control and they looked to seal the win but Reid caught Jackal in a small package to get the shock win!
After the match, Adrenaline beat down Reid and Caufield then exited with Demento. Duke went in to check on his partners but Daniel Sinn ran out and attacked Duke.
4) BLOCK D: Travis Cantrell vs. Cody Rejero: A win here for the FUSE Champ still keeps him in contention for the Block while substitute Cantrell is winless. A decent little match with some good spots from young Cantrell. However he fell to the Pepsi Driver.
5) BLOCK B: Johnny Arsenic vs. Evan Pagano: Decent enough match, what we’ve learnt from this tournament is that the Fire and the Fury are very average single workers. Pagano could still take the Block to a tiebreaker but interference from Vincent Fury caused Pagano to fall to the Arsenic Driver.
Post match, Arsenic and Fury beat down Pagano and posed with the Duos title.
Intermission. It was announced that a tournament for a women’s title will be starting at Be the Best iPPV. 8 women will battle it out to become the first ever SNW Women's champion.
6) BLOCK B: Safu vs. Riley Shamrock: Great way to bring the fans back from the break, as the battle of the RevX teammates continues. These two faced off at the last iPPV where Riley got the win. Safu could take the Block to a tiebreaker if he wins here but a draw or a win for Riley would give him the block. Safu was still wearing the face mask after Riley injured his nose. The two went at it hard all match with Safu really doing damage to Riley’s ribs. However, Riley went for the Ode to Shamrock, the move that previously beat Safu, but the monster got out of it and hit a Samoan Drop for the big win.
Safu then exited up the ramp tying their matches at 1-1, they’ll both get a change to change that next week as Safu takes on Riley again in a tiebreaker. And with Safu winning here, he will be the favourite.
7) BLOCK D: Vincent Fury vs. Steven Kagemann: A win for Fury would take this block to a three-way tiebreaker, but a win or draw would mean Kagemann would win the block. Like earlier this was a heel vs. heel match so it wasn’t too long. Some expected a SNW to throw a serve ball and have a three-way tiebreaker but Kagemann continued his fine form with a Fire Tornado. As a result Kagemann wins Block D and advances to the Semi-finals on iPPV.
Mike Bockwinkel walked out to the ring and began a verbal attack on Red Dragon and his ‘surprise’ partner Nick Jacobs. He told Jacobs he was 'nobody before and a nobody now'. Then Red Dragon was shown via video link, he said that next time they meet he would even the sides.
8) BLOCK C: Mike Hogan vs. A.J Matthews: Hogan got another great response from the crowd tonight however he had another tough opponent in the form of AJ who has been on form since returning from injury. AJ is using his quickness and the rare highflying move now which is interesting since he’s a big man. The match was pretty even but Hogan just edged control. Hogan hit the Futurism but AJ fell to the outside, AJ hit the Eastern Execution out of nowhere but couldn’t get the pin. In the closing stages Hogan hit the Springboard Elbow but AJ kicked out which caused the time limit to expire.
Both men struggled to their feet post match and it was announced that the draw was enough for Hogan to win Block C. AJ then offered the handshake, which was accepted.
9) BLOCK A: Ace Bennett vs. Carson Clark: Big main event time, Clark has grown so much since he started to branch out into the singles division and now he’s headlining a show. This had so much riding on it, a win for either man would make them win the block. The match had history too, as Ace was previously an AirDevil, when he left he was replaced by Clark. And now Clark could be said to be replicating Bennett in breaking out. Anyway onto the match because there is so much to be said about this one. Bennett was in control for most of it but it didn’t damage Clark's momentum one bit. He played the underdog role so well and the fans were dying to see him pull out the upset. Every time Clark took control the pace would be turned upto 11, living up to his nickname as the ‘fastest wrestler alive’ and the fans would go nuts. Clark took a nasty bump on the apron when Ace hit the snap Brainbuster but he struggled on and even hit a Suicide Rana which sent Bennett into the barricade. Back in the ring Clark hit the Swan Dive DDT and the fans thought that was it only for Ace to kick out. Ace came back into the match and the two battled on the top rope before Ace hit the Syracuse Bound, which by that point Clark had passed out.
Ace Bennett celebrated winning Block A. Ace joins Block C winner, Mike Hogan and Block D winner, Steven Kagemann in the semi-finals at the iPPV. The winner of Block B will be decided in a tiebreaker next week as Safu takes on Riley Shamrock. After Ace had left, Clark got a standing ovation from the crowd and was helped to the back by fellow AirDevils Tom Gerard and Travis Cantrell.

Decadence of Kings
There was a tombola already in the ring before the show started with four balls labelled A,B,C and D. “Error Operator” played and SNW World Champ Kevin Hart entered. Hart said he was doing the draw for the Be the Best Semi-Finals which will be on iPPV. Ace Bennett, Steven Kagemann and Mike Hogan all entered. The fourth competitor will be found out tonight as Riley Shamrock takes on Safu. The drawer was made:
BLOCK D: Steven Kagemann vs. BLOCK C: Mike Hogan
BLOCK A: Ace Bennett vs. BLOCK B: Riley Shamrock / Safu
Mike Hogan motioned to Hart’s title before leaving up the entrance. As he left Steven Kagemann attacked Kevin Hart and Ace Bennett soon joined in on the attack. Hogan turned around and debated whether to save Hart. Hogan did run back for the save sending Ace and Kagemann running. Hart and Hogan were left in the ring as unlikely partners.
1) AirDevils vs. Adrenaline vs. Elliot Reid and Dean Caufield vs. DJ Hughes and Rory Wiseman: This was announced as a elimination match for the number one contenders match for the Duos titles at the next iPPV. The two rookie teams were the weaker and one of them went out early on. Jackal hit the Spear on Hughes to eliminate his team. Then Reid and Caufield shocked Adrenaline again getting a quick pin to eliminate them. The final two teams battled it out for a little while before the Bombs Away gave the AirDevils of Cantrell and Gerard the win.
After the AirDevils had left, Adrenaline of Static and Jackal ran out to attack youngsters Reid and Caufield but were caught off guard by the youngsters fighting back. Adrenaline retreated and were shocked by being pinned twice in two shows by the youngsters.
2) Chris Hammers vs. Jason Williams: This was just a match to keep Hammers’ momentum going. He’s challenging for the World title at the next event. Meanwhile, Jason has just been losing and losing ever since the break of the United Front, so it was no surprise here. Hammers’ Last Minute Orders dropped Jason for the three count.
The Parkland children, Duke, Axel and Rose came out. Duke came out and told the crowd if they start chanting his father’s name then he can see how appreciated he is and come back to SNW. Daniel Sinn then came out and mocked them. The Parkland brothers challenged Sinn to a two-on-one tag match at the iPPV. Sinn said he would accept on one condition, he if he won he can pick which Parkland he wants to face. The Parkland’s accepted.
3) Bret Thomas, Matt Spade and Dave Demento vs. A.J Matthews, Carson Clark and El Hijo de Angel Custodio: Strange six-man tag, the centre was around rivals Thomas and AJ who fought to a draw in the BtB qualifiers. They took each other out the match again here. Which allowed the others to have some match time in the ring. Demento looked pretty good in this one, playing heel but he still fell to Clark’s Swan Dive DDT.
Backstage, Steven Kagemann is taping up his fists when his Adrenaline teammates walk in. Static tells Kagemann that he’s neglecting his role as leader of the group, focusing too much on his self and letting his team fall apart. Kagemann was silent up to this point, then he stood up. He shouted at Static telling him that they should be able to deal with a couple of rookies. He told them if they complained again he’d bite off Static’s nose and stick it inside Jackal. Kagemann then sat back down silently while Adrenaline walked away frightened.
4) FUSE: Cody Rejero vs. Jacob Ryler: Nice little match as Cody made another defence of the FUSE title against a former FUSE Champion. The Scottish warrior, Ryler doesn’t really wrestle in big matches very often. He does help a lot backstage and despite being still young is looked upon as SNW’s veteran. The match itself was good and had the crowd’s attention. Ryler missed the Higher We Go which allowed Cody to hit the Pepsi Driver.
5) Alicia Bennett and Kourtney Love vs. Amy Lee and Red Fire: The women’s tournament will start at the iPPV and here was a showcase of some of the competitors. Red Fire made her debut, she’s a highflyer and got the crowd going. The best parts of the match came from Love and Amy who seem like they could have some seriously good matches in the future. The RevX member sealed the win with the Downward Spiral.
Afterwards, Beast Kong debuted marching down to the ring. She took out Lee with a lariat, then Bennett with the same, she hit a Sitdown powerbomb on Red Fire then locked Love in the Torture Rack. Then ‘Castle of Glass’ by Linkin Park played and Wasp stood at the entrance. This was enough for Kong to stop and exit through he back.
Intermission. Red Dragon was out at the break which got a great reaction, he was telling the crowd that he would be bringing out a partner to deal with his brothers and Bockwinkel. A lot of people asked him if it was Assassin and Dragon replied “you’ll just have to see”.
Red Dragon did emerge from the entrance after the break but only after the Kineval’s entered with Mike Bockwinkel. Dragon was accompanied by Nick Jacobs but said Jacobs wasn’t his partner, instead his partner was his long time tag partner, Assassin.
6) The Red Assassins vs. The Kinevals: Great story telling in this one. The Red Assassins were just too powerful for the Kineval brothers. Sam and Lee resorted to exiting to the outside and cheating in an attempt to turn the tides. Bockwinkel tried to get involved as he has done previously but Nick Jacobs constantly cut him off. This led to the ending as Bock jumped on the apron but Nick pulled him down and brawled with him. This caused Dragon to lift Sam in the Red Dragon Driver, Assassin to hit a jumping kick then Dragon to dump Sam on his head for the win.
After the match, The Red Assassins and Nick Jacobs stood tall in the ring as the Kinevals and Bockwinkel exited up the ramp. Dragon counted on his fingers “3 and 3”, and shouted “it’s all even now Bock, whatcha gonna do?”
We cut to backstage where Jason bumps into Cody. Jason congratulates Cody on the title defence from earlier then mentions that Cody hasn’t got a challenger for the belt at the next iPPV. Before he can put his name forward Carson Clark walks in and tells Jason he’s had his chances. Jack Joseph, Jet Jaguar, Matt Spade and El Hijo surround them, all saying they want title shots too. Cody says that they should all face off on the iPPV and whoever wins can face him later on in the night. The group disbands leaving Jason and Cody together.
7) DUOS: STL Connection vs. Fire and the Fury: This match had plenty of bad blood, STL took the titles off Arsenic and Fury, then defended the titles against them, then Fury interfered in the BtB qualifier between Arsenic and Pagano which could have put Pagano in the tiebreaker later tonight. The match itself was some great tag team action with STL having the slight edge. When STL were looking to finish the match off Arsenic grabbed a chair and got his team DQ’ed.
8) BLOCK B TIEBREAKER: Riley Shamrock vs. Safu: Great, great match. Top quality action and storytelling of the highest quality. Some expected it after their first two matches but this one blew them both out of the park. Both were sporting injuries from previous encounters, Safu, the face mask that protects the nose that Riley broke in the first match. While Riley had his ribs taped up from their most recent encounter. But it didn’t stop either from hitting hard. The ball was in Safu’s court after winning the most recent encounter but despite the injured ribs Riley held his own. The action was brutal and contained a Burning Hammer on the apron, Riley delivering the mui tai knees yet again and Safu hitting the body splash to the ribs. The two continued with Safu’s nose bleeding from underneath his mask and Riley’s ribs being exposed. Riley tried for the Irish Welcoming but was never going to get Safu onto his shoulders, so he went for the move that put Safu away the first time, the Ode to Shamrock however just like the last match Safu had it scouted. Safu took control hitting a Samoan Drop but Riley wearily kicked out. Safu smelt blood in the water and went up top for a big splash on Riley’s injured ribs. Safu very rarely goes up top and it didn’t pay off as Riley moved. Riley locked in the mui tai knees again, before locking the arms in a Double Underhook and hitting Safu with former SNW competitor Henry Edwards’ favourite move, the HE Driver, which was enough to put the Samoan Monster away for the two count.
Absolute top match from these two and the fans showed their appreciation. The best match Safu has competed in, usually a tag competitor he showed he should also be feared in the singles division. Riley sat against the ropes, holding his ribs. Safu was stumbling to his feet so Riley went to help him up. Safu accepted and they shook hands before walking to the back together. Maybe fighting your tag partner will make you stronger.
9) Kevin Hart and Mike Hogan vs. Ace Bennett and Steven Kagemann: This match was damaged a bit by going on after such a blockbuster of a match. It took a while for the competitors to win the fans over but with three top competitors in this one they shouldn’t have been worried. Kagemann has improved so much this year and didn’t look out of place at all with such big names. However, there were some teaming issues between Hart and Hogan (after all, Hogan left SNW after a fight with Hart backstage). Lots of good action in this one with all four men looking the strongest at various parts of the match. What managed to keep the fans interested was the difference in pace in the action. The last match was slow and measured but this one was kicked up and fast. In the end, Hogan and Hart’s miscommunication led to Kagemann hitting the DeathDrive on the World Champ, Kevin Hart!
Ace Bennett and Steven Kagemann exited up the entrance but then realised they may be facing each other in the finals of Be the Best and separated from each other. Back in the ring Hogan went to help Hart to his feet but as Hart went to accept Hogan pulled it away and laughed at the champ before exiting through the crowd, standing on a chair and motioning that he would have the title around his waist.

NEXT SNW iPPV: BE THE BEST 2013 Live from the National Guard Armoury, Philly only on Go Fight Live NEXT SHOW
BtB Semi-Final: Ace Bennett vs. Riley Shamrock BtB Semi-Final: Steven Kagemann vs. Mike Hogan After 19 matches and 17 competitors it comes down to four. Bennett won all his qualifiers and the 2010 Be the Best winner goes into the Semi-Final with a tag team win. While Riley was taken to a tiebreaker and may have injured ribs. Bennett went into the tournament as the favourite but you can’t count out the “Young Gun” Riley Shamrock. Steven Kagemann also won all his qualifiers and even pinned the World champ in a tag match. But even though he has had a brilliant start to 2013 he will face the ever popular joker in the pack that is Mike Hogan. Hogan challenged unsuccessfully for the title last year and returned this year to win Be the Best. Will Kagemann continue to impress or will the Brit make a winning return?
SNW World Championship Kevin Hart vs. Chris Hammers The Canadian Champion will have a tough challenge here as he takes on the “Irish Doomsday” and leader of Revolution X, Chris Hammers. Hammers knows what it is like to be World Champion, as he was the first ever SNW World Champ and is a two-time champ. But it’s been a while since Hammers had the title on his shoulder. He won the Battle of Canada to win this title shot but will the man from Canada retain the belt?
DUOS Championship STL Connection vs. Fire and the Fury vs. AirDevils The AirDevils won a No.1 contendership match at the last event but later on in the night the STL Connection defended the belts against the Fire and the Fury. But the match only ended by DQ when Arsenic used a chair. So on request from the champions themselves, the Fire and the Fury have been added to the title match. Who will come out on top in this three way tag bout?
Mike Bockwinkel and Kinevals vs. Red Assassins and Nick Jacobs The rivalry has been renewed, voted the best feud of 2011 Bockwinkel vs. Red Dragon is back for 2013. Bockwinkel brought in Dragon’s brothers the Kineval’s so Dragon had to even the score. Firstly he brought in Mike Bockwinkel’s former tag partner, the man who Dragon beat to banish from SNW, then he brought back his tag partner Assassin. Now it’s all even, three on three with it all to play for. Which team will come out on top here: Team Bockwinkel or Team Dragon?
FUSE Championship Cody Rejero vs. ? Jack Joseph vs. Carson Clark vs. Jason Williams vs. Matt Spade vs. Jet Jaguar vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio Six-men will face off in order to face the FUSE Champ, Cody Rejero, later on in the night. Will it be “the Flying Saint”, “the fastest wrestler alive", the man Cody beat to win the belt or one of the other three competitors?
A.J Matthews vs. Bret Thomas These two men were formally stable-mates within the Milita but AJ got injured and Thomas disbanded the group. AJ is now back in SNW and has changed his game which has won some fans over. So who will come out on top?
Two-on-One Handicap – If Sinn wins he can choose which Parkland to face Daniel Sinn vs. Parkland Brothers Drew Parkland and Daniel Sinn were SNW’s top tag team, they won multiple awards, trophies and championships. But since Sinn turned on Parkland we haven’t seen father Parkland. But we have seen three of his children. Duke, the youngest has been competition but now his younger brother, Axel gets his first SNW match despite being a young teen! But if Sinn wins he gets to pick which Parkland to face, and that could mean the return of Daddy Parkland.
Women’s Championship Tournament Wasp in Action The first match of the tournament to crown SNW’s first Women’s Champion. Wasp has showed her dominance so far in SNW, but she faces a special guest whom she must defeat to get through to the second round.
Adrenaline vs. Dean Caufield and Elliot Reid Twice, twice, that’s two times Static and Jackal have been beaten by youngsters Caufield and Reid. Now they’re hoping to settle the score. But can they? Caufield and Reid may just be Adrenaline’s bogey team.
Pre-Show Bonus: Gareth Ashdown and Dave Demento vs. Rory Wiseman and DJ Hughes

Be the Best 2013 Live from the National Guard Armoury, Philly only on Go Fight Live
P1) Gareth Ashdown and Dave Demento vs. Rory Wiseman and DJ Hughes: Nice short opener as the fans were still getting to their seats when the action started. Some decent action, Demento looks like he might be something in the future. His team got the win when Ashdown hit the Infamous on Hughes.
1) BtB Semi-Final: Ace Bennett vs. Riley Shamrock: On paper this looks like it could be a classic but it seems SNW were holding off on giving us a straight up Bennett vs. Shamrock so that they can cash it in in the future. This was because Riley had his ribs taped up from the tiebreaker with Safu, as a result the match was mainly Ace taking it to Riley with Riley scraping to stay in it. This still was a very good match and a great way to open the iPPV, however it wasn’t the clear Ace/Riley match some were expecting. Despite giving his all Riley fell to the Syracuse Lock but only after he kicked out of the Syracuse Drop.
Afterwards Ace briefly celebrated reaching the finals of Be the Best. He will find out who he is facing in the main event next. After Ace left, Riley struggled to his feet to the round of applause from the audience. Safu then came out and helped Riley to the back, the two seemed to have patched up their differences.
2) BtB Semi-Final: Steven Kagemann vs. Mike Hogan: Unlike the last match this one was much more 50/50. If you went back 16 months you wouldn’t expect Kagemann to be a main eventer and in the final four of a major tournament but he’s done so much since he joined the United Front last year and didn’t look out of place at all here. Meanwhile Hogan always performs at the highest level so it was no surprise to see him here. The match itself was fast paced in parts and the final section had loads of false finishes and big moves. Kagemann missed a dive to the outside then Hogan hit the dive, later Kagemann hit the Double Foot stomp and the Deathdrive for close counts, but Kagemann missed the Fire Tornado and Hogan took the advantage wrapping up the match with the Futurism.
3) Jack Joseph vs. Carson Clark vs. Jason Williams vs. Matt Spade vs. Jet Jaguar vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio: The winner of this match will go for the FUSE title later on tonight. The match had plenty of highlights especially any parts where Clark and Jaguar faced off. Of course there was the big dive spot as everyone dived on top of each other. Jason was the last to dive but stopped on the top rope, sticking his fingers up to the crowd. But as he went to climb down El Hijo climbed up and caught Jason in a Spanish Fly to the outside onto everyone! Joseph and Jaguar fought back in the ring where Jack hit the Pele to get the three count.
4) Adrenaline vs. Dean Caufield and Elliot Reid: This match has come about after the young highflyers Caufield and Reid scored two shock pins over Kagemann’s Adrenaline group. Unlike their other encounters this wasn’t all one sided as Dean and Elliot wowed the crowd with some highflying offence. They are similar to a rookie version of the AirDevils. Static went for the Brainbuster on Reid but it was reversed into a Small Package, it was broken up by Jackal who then hit a spear on Caufield who was diving from the top rope to get the win.
Female competitor, Wasp made her way out to the ring to cut a short promo. She said has already proven that she is the most dominant female in SNW so they should just hand the Women’s title to her. Instead they have decided on a tournament between 8 of the top female athletes, Wasp said she’d beat them all and become the first Women’s champ. The fans popped for her opponent, Cheerleader Melissa.
5) Women’s Championship Tournament: Wasp vs. Cheerleader Melissa: This match just went to show that SNW’s women’s division is being taken seriously. Some of the fans in attendance who were thinking of using this match to go to the toilet but soon sat down when the match started. It was only short, but it was a taster of things to come, lots of hard hitting and ferocity behind each move. Wasp really solidified herself here as one of the top females around by beating arguably the best female wrester in the biz today. Wasp locked in the Octopus Hold she calls the Grips of Powers to get the submission win. But no doubt Melissa will be back in SNW in the future.
6) A.J Matthews vs. Bret Thomas: These two are former partners in Militia but ever since A.J got injured he’s come back with a new moveset and faster style which the fans enjoy. Thomas is still the hard hitting powerhouse and could be a threat to the title this year. The match started off early with Thomas jumping A.J during the entrance. The brawl went into the crowd before eventually going into the ring where the match began. The two went toe-for-toe for a bit before AJ turned on the style to get the crowd going. Thomas came back into it looking to finish off AJ with the Fall only for A.J to counter into the Eastern Execution. However, unluckily for A.J Thomas rolled onto the ring apron and later broke up the count. Thomas countered a second EA attempt hitting the Fall for the win.
Intermission. It was announced that this was the first of two intermissions. The two matches in which we found out the competitors earlier on tonight were hyped up: Jack Joseph challenging for the FUSE title and Bennett and Hogan facing off in the Be the Best final.
7) Daniel Sinn vs. Parkland Brothers: On paper a two on one match would always favour the team with two men however in this match when you have a former 3 time Duos champion going up against two teenagers (Duke 17, Axel 15) it would be a the opposite. Sinn dominated mostly, stalling only to mock the crowd and Rose Parkland who was on the outside. Obviously Duke and Axel had their chances, one particular hot tag to Duke got a great reaction from the crowd and nearly ended the match but Sinn dropped him to the Original Sinn.
Post match, Sinn laughed up the ramp in the knowledge that with that win he can challenge any Parkland of his choosing. “See you soon Drew,” he said exiting up the entrance.
8) DUOS: STL Connection vs. Fire and the Fury vs. AirDevils: This was three of the best tag teams around facing off so it was ‘bout to be a good match in our first of three championship matches tonight. Pagano and Curtis have just won the belts off Arsenic and Fury plus they stopped Pagano advancing in Be the Best so there was plenty of bad blood there. The AirDevils were a good addition and are always a fan favourite. In the second half of the match STL Connection seemed out of it after an Assisted Piledriver on Curtis and Canrtell catching Pagano with a dive into the crowd. So the action was just between the two former winners of Clash of the Duos. Lots of good action in the end with plenty of near falls being broken up including the Cantrell’s springboard SSP, a Fury Strike and the AirDevils busting out an old tag team move the Sky High. It was this move that was broken up by Evan Pagano who soon whittled it down to just Arsenic who he hit the SicKick on and Curtis hit the 450 Splash to retain the belts.
9) FUSE: Cody Rejero vs. Jack Joseph: We’ve already seen one champ retain and Cody was hoping to follow suit. He had the advantage since Joseph had already competed in a match earlier in the night to get this opportunity. The fans weren’t very into this at the start of the match, maybe because of it being after the tag match but the two worked hard and won the crowd round. The story of the match was Jack trying to hit the Pele Kick to win his third FUSE title but Cody always had it covered, even catching him in an ankle lock at one point. Despite his best attempts Jack submitted to the Sharpshooter.
10) Mike Bockwinkel and Kinevals vs. Red Assassins and Nick Jacobs: Big rivals six-man tag, all six-men had history with each other but here’s just some: Red Assassins/Gentlemen’s Club feud started in SCW and moved over to SNW, Bockwinkel/Jacobs are former partners and there was even a lesser known team of Sam Kineval and Nick Jacobs in SNW. So plenty of history and the rules went out of the window the moment the bell rung. Jacobs was ruthless in this match and wanted Bockwinkel’s blood, there was blood but it wasn’t Bock’s, it was Sam’s. Assassin hit a crazy dive into the audience only for Bock to smash him with a chair in mid-air! The referee didn’t see because Jacobs was battling with Sam in the ring. Bock re-entered the ring taking out Jacobs, then Dragon got in and it was the two great rivals alone in the ring. However, with the referee checking on Assassin in the crowd this allowed interference. Someone ran out from backstage and hit Dragon with an exceptionally stiff Lariat. Bockwinkel dropped Dragon with the Bockwinkel Special: Championship Edition to steal the win.
A medical team came out to tend to Assassin, Jacobs was down on the outside while Dragon was out cold in the ring. Bockwinkel was joined in the ring by the Kineval brothers and the attacker. Lee brought in a microphone for Bockwinkel. “Ladies and Gentlemen, in case you haven’t quite recognized my good friend. Let me introduce you all to Mr. Cameron Stone.”
Intermission. Big shock in the crowd as Cameron Stone left with his new friends. Dragon and Jacobs eventually came round and left with Assassin who was stretched backstage. SNW hyped up the final two matches, the SNW World Championship bout and the Be the Best final between Bennett and Hogan.
11) SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Chris Hammers: Big hype for this match, the fans were fresh from intermission and loud so the introductions went down huge. Straight from the bell the story was Hart on the attack but unable to do much damage to the bigger Hammers. Hammers responded taking advantage until Hart slipped out the back of a suplex and hit a superkick to get the first real close count. Hart began to do some damage before Hammers exploded with a Lariat that sent Hart spinning. Hammers went into a very Puro inspired set of moves to really hurt Hart, ending with a Backdrop Driver but Hart powered out of the pin. Hammers went to seal the match by submission but with the crowd willing him on Hart got to the ropes. Hammers pulled Hart to the middle of the ring and went for the Camel Clutch submission again but Hart locked in the small package, Hammers kicked out but Hart lifted Hammers up in the Small Package Driver. But Hammers fought out and hit a big Liger Bomb and Hart rolled onto the apron. Hammers followed and the two brawled on the apron for abit before Hart hit a big tiger driver on the apron. The two teased a 20 count on the outside before getting in just in time. The two brawled for a bit before Hammers went for the Lariat but Hart hit the Superkick then locked in the Sharpshooter. Hammers got to the ropes eventually, then as Hart charged at him in the corner he slammed him onto his back Samoa Joe style. Hammers then lifted Hart for the Last Minute Orders lifting him up in the spinebuster before Hart rolled around Hammer’s back and over his shoulder lifting Hammers in the Small Package Driver and hitting the Maple Leaf Revenge to retain the belt.
12) BtB Final: Ace Bennett vs. Mike Hogan: The great crowd continued into tonight’s main event. Hogan got one of the louder pops of the night (probably second only to Hart) while Ace got a mixed response. Ace was playing heel but everywhere he goes he does get some cheers just because he’s Ace Bennett. Both men competed earlier and the story played out in this one was that Ace was still pretty fresh after beating Riley while Hogan was worn out after facing tougher opponent in Kagemann. Ace went on the attack wanting to seal the match early on. Hitting a Shinning Wizard early on to get a close count. However, Ace’s energy was nearly his downfall as Hogan caught Bennett with a dropkick and followed it up with a bridging Dragon Suplex for a two count. The action was pretty even from then on. The changing point was Hogan hitting a big missile dropkick off the apron to the floor, smashing Ace against the guardrail. Hogan went to follow it up with a running punt kick while on the apron but Ace caught it and pulled Hogan’s leg in the air causing Hogan to crash on his top back/neck area. Ace rolled Hogan back inside for a close count before focusing more on the neck. Ace went for the win with the Syracuse Drop but Hogan fought out of it hitting a big elbow off the top for a close count. Hogan went to finish it again with a Curb Stomp but Ace got an arm out. Hogan tried for the Furturism but Ace slipped out the back, wore Hogan down and locked in the Syracuse Lock. With the support of the crowd behind him Hogan got to the ropes. Ace then went for the Syracuse Drop but once again Hogan began to fight out of it. The two battled on the top rope teasing multiple big moves before Hogan span Ace around in a belly to belly piledriver position, The fans rose to their feet as Hogan jumped off the top in the Futurism off the top! Hogan crawled, getting an arm over Ace for the three count.
The Be the Best trophy was brought into the ring and the 2013 winner Mike Hogan struggled to his feet before lifting the trophy to the roar of the crowd. Ace slipped out of the ring and began to exit but he was cut off by “Error Operator” as SNW World Champion Kevin Hart stood by the entrance with the title on his shoulder, but for how much longer?

Magnificent 10: 2013 NEXT SHOW
2013 Competitors: 10 men will wrestle throughout the show, each time eliminating 2 men until 4 men remain. The final four will wrestle in a four-way elimination match to become No.1 contender to the SNW World Championship at Riot Act IV live on iPPV from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
Ace Bennett (3rd Time, Eliminated 5th 2011, Eliminated 8th 2012) Ace Bennett has done it all, the first ever Triple Crown Champion, Be the Best 2010 Winner and Battle of Japan Winner. The one singles tournament he hasn’t won is the Magnificent 10. Now he looks to win this to complete his trophy cabinet. He already lost challenging for the title in Australia but only because the referee was knocked out. Can he get a second chance by winning the M10?
Jack Powers (5th Time, Winner 2009, Runner-Up 2010, Eliminated 6th 2011, Eliminated 5th 2012) The submission specialist returns to SNW and in doing so will become the only man to compete in every M10 (since Evan Pagano is not competing) Powers was on YouTube announcing his return and he was seemingly sorry for his actions with the United Front. Powers’ also said he wasn’t 100% but would be returning to try his best. Can the first ever M10 winner get a new shot at the title?
Chris Hammers (4th Time, Runner-Up 2009, Eliminated 8th 2010, Runner-Up 2012) The Revolution X leader is fresh from a defeat from the reigning SNW World Champion but straight away will get another chance to challenge for the belt he has won twice. Hammers’ history in the Magnificent 10 is one of the most impressive in SNW. He’s been runner-up twice (including last year to Henry Edwards) and was in the last three in 2010. But can the RevX leader go all the way this year?
Riley Shamrock (3rd Time, Eliminated 8th 2011, Eliminated 7th 2012) Revolution X’s “Young Gun” is on a bit of a roll, he’s started the year well and took that momentum into Be the Best where he topped his group (beating teammate Safu in the process) narrowly losing to Ace Bennett in the final four. But now Shamrock looks to improve on his last two performances where he got to the final four and win the Magnificent 10.
Steven Kagemann (2nd Time, Eliminated 3rd 2012) “The Resident Mad-Man of SNW’ enters into the Magnificent 10 after getting to the final four of the Be the Best. Kagemann has had a fantastic start to 2013. However, it has been at the expense of his group Adrenaline. But Kagemann has to decide what is more important, the success of the group or his own individual success?
Johnny Arsenic (New Entrant) The Fire and the Fury, known more as a tag team will have a great chance to win the big singles gold as both members compete in the Magnificent 10. Can Arsenic light the world alight?
Vincent Fury (New Entrant) Vincent Fury will join his teammate in the Fire and the Fury, Johnny Arsenic for a chance to challenge for the SNW World Championship. They’ll have an advantage if they work as a team but only one can win.
Jack Joseph (3rd Time, Eliminated 3rd 2011, Eliminated 2nd 2012) “The Flying Saint” will compete in his third Magnificent 10 after not doing particularly well in his first two attempts. Joseph will go all out to do better this year but he will have to get past 9 others to get a shot at the belt.
A.J Matthews (2nd Time, Eliminated 2nd 2011) A.J Matthews returned in Australia with a new set of moves that won over the crowd. He performed well at Be the Best but came up against his old teammate Bret Thomas, taking him to a draw. The two met at the iPPV with Thomas coming out on top but can AJ trump Thomas by getting a title shot?
Carson Clark (New Entrant) The ever popular leader of the AirDevils and “fastest wrestler alive” enters into the Magnificent 10 for the first time. He’ll defiantly have the crowd on his side and speed also. Can Clark pull off the biggest upset in SNW history?
News
Drew Parkland is to put on his own show. Yes, you did read that right. SNW’s hillbilly redneck tag team specialist will be promoting his own show soon after Riot Act. It will be co-promoted and co-funded by SNW. Both Parkland and SNW booker Mark Ryland took to Twitter to be answer questions on the show. The main news is that the roster will be mainly made up of Parkland’s friends from SNW (Daniel Sinn, Cody Rejero and Jacob Ryler), his family and former SNW students. The show is only going to be small and is advertised as family friendly.
In comparison, SNW has already announced plans for their first iPPV show in 2014. SNW will return to the UK for ‘One Night in London’. SNW has took the unprecedented move of announcing that tickets will be on sale next month. SNW usually puts out ticket a few shows before but putting the tickets on advanced sale is a bold move for SNW. They are hoping that with their strong following in the UK they can make this their biggest show yet. SNW did also announce that there will be no other SNW UK show all year, in the hope that fans will travel from all over the UK to support SNW.
As well as the event itself, SNW announced that there will be a smaller show the night before (SNW are looking for a partner to co-promote this) and also a Meet and Greet on the day of the iPPV which will include a ‘Big Name in Wrestling’ who will also make an appearance on the show itself.
Speaking of the UK, former SNW student Zeke has announced via Twitter that he will be returning in a one-off appearance for SNW’s Riot Act VI event. Zeke has made a name for himself since leaving SNW, even setting up his own company FPW in the UK. It will be interesting to see how SNW book Zeke after missing out on pushing him in SNW.

Great stuff as usual. Hopefully Ace can grab this last singles tournament trophy that he hasn't added to his case this year. Would love to see a full blown Ace/Hart feud and another Ace title run, this time with 13 defenses. Everything else is going well obviously, it's great to see some guys get pushed like Shamrock and Kagemann. Loving Cantrell's inclusion in AirDevils as well, seems like a rite of passage for my SNW characters. Cool to see him getting some success as well as a part of the team. Overall, this is great and crazy to see how far you've come. Keep going it up man.
