Magnificent 10: 2013
Magnificent 10: 2013 kicked off as it does every year with all ten competitors making their entrances for the group photo. Here’s some notes on their entrances: Strangely the loudest pop of the night was for Riley Shamrock, Carson Clark also got a rather loud pop. Kagemann got the biggest heat. Bennett and Hammers got mixed reactions. Some fans didn’t know Jack Powers was returning tonight, as he previously said he is not 100%, he also got a mixed reaction.
1) M10: Ace Bennett vs. Jack Powers vs. Chris Hammers vs. Riley Shamrock vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Johnny Arsenic vs. Vincent Fury vs. Jack Joseph vs. A.J Matthews vs. Carson Clark: So the M10 started as it always does every year with a big brawl. M10 usually has two men who fight throughout the night but there doesn’t seem to be two big rivals in this one which is a refreshing change. The Fire and the Fury teamed up and looked strong, Carson and Joseph hit big dives which got the crowd going. The Fire and the Fury’s dominance was taken out by Revolution X, when Hammers hit the Last Minute Orders on Fury and Riley hit the Irish Welcoming on Arsenic. Eliminated: Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury
2) Women’s Championship Tournament: Amy Lee vs. Red Fire: The second of four first round women’s championship matches continued as Revolution X’s Amy Lee took on newbie Lady Red in an effort to reach the semi-finals where Wasp has already advanced. Fire looks like a good wrestler, she’s a highflyer which is different to the rest of the women’s roster. Amy Lee is a really talented in the ring and I expect the division to be centred around her. The Downward Spiral gave Amy the win to advance. Amy Lee told Wasp and anyone else to ‘bring it on’ post match.
3) M10: Ace Bennett vs. Jack Powers vs. Chris Hammers vs. Riley Shamrock vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Jack Joseph vs. A.J Matthews vs. Carson Clark: The action from M10 continued and with the Fire and the Fury out there was more room to see the competitors. Powers looked a bit tentative being back, as he admitted he’s not 100% fit. Jack got caught by A.J in an Eastern Execution, opening an old wound from their feud years ago which took out Jack. The match carried on until Bret Thomas ran out, and with the referee distracted he took A.J out with the Fall. Kagemann stole the pin to eliminate A.J. Eliminated: Jack Joseph and A.J Matthews
“Back in Black” hit as Daniel Sinn made his way out, he called out the Parkland family but only Duke, Axel and Rose came out. Sinn asked “where’s Daddy Parkland?” then added that since he won at the last event he can choose any Parkland he wants to face him in the ring. He paused before announcing the Parkland he wanted to face was... Rose.
4) Daniel Sinn vs. Rose Parkland: This match didn’t really never started, as you would expect. When Duke and Axel realised what was happening they jumped Sinn. And although they took control early on, Sinn beat down the 17 and 15 year old. Sinn then was one-on-one with Rose, he grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up for the Original Sinn. Then Daddy Drew Parkland sprinted to the ring making his return to SNW, he dump tacked his former tag team partner to the floor and rained in the shots. Sinn got some space and rolled to the outside. Daddy Duke then called his children to join him in the ring as the Parkland family stood tall.
5) M10: Ace Bennett vs. Jack Powers vs. Chris Hammers vs. Riley Shamrock vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Carson Clark: With six men left standing, all six men were going all out to get a spot in the final four. Revolution X teammates Hammers and Shamrock didn’t really team up in this one. Hammers faced off with Kagemann for the majority of this section. While Shamrock faced off with Powers and Bennett squared up against AirDevil Carson. It was clear with less men in the ring that Powers was back from injury too early, but the amount of action covered up the fact that he was still injured. Kagemann got the first elimination by taking out Clark catching him with the Fire Tornado. But when Kagemann got to his feet he was flattened by a Lariat from Hammers which got the three count. Eliminated: Carson Clark and Steven Kagemann
Red Dragon makes his way out and talks about his history with Mike Bockwinkel, Dragon says that Bockwinkel has made his own little group containing the Kineval brothers and Cameron Stone. Dragon then challenged Bockwinkel to bring his group to Riot Act VI so they can have themselves a Warfare match. Mike Bockwinkel made his way out with Cameron Stone and told Dragon that if he wants to sign his own death warrant then go ahead. Bock then said that they should have themselves a Warfare preview match with the winner getting the man advantage at Warfare. Bock and Stone marched down to the ring and squared up to Dragon but luckily for him Nick Jacobs ran out and Dragon had himself a partner.
6) Warfare Advantage: Red Dragon and Nick Jacobs vs. Mike Bockwinkel and Cameron Stone: A good old fashioned tag match, that went into intermission but could have easily main evented any other show. All four men are good workers and have chemistry between them. Jacobs was looking particularly hungry for Bockwinkel’s blood. The match itself was a slow old school worked match where the heels were the typical cheating bad guys and they cut the ring in half when Dragon was in the ring. He eventually made the hot tag out to Jacobs who took back control before falling to the numbers game. Dragon came back in and aided his partner but it wasn’t enough and Bockwinkel got the pinfall following a Bockwinkel Special.
Intermission. Mike Hogan was out at the break hyping up his title match, he was much loved by the crowd and got them chanting 'Next World Champ' when he went to leave.
8) DUOS: STL Connection vs. Adrenaline: Curtis and Pagano were over huge, no particular reason, the fans just loved them. It’s good to see Adrenaline going for the titles, it’s odd to think they were in the Third Class alongside the likes of Riley and Jaguar, they seem to have been around longer than that. They’re a good team but may need more time before the belts go on them. They worked a good heel team here for STL, previously Static was the man who was most likely to make a name for himself outside of the group but now I don’t know. Jackal works a tough brawler style and if SNW wanted to push someone a little bit different then he’d be the man to do it. Both he and Static are inexperienced and I’d like to see them teaming for at least another year before they begin to think about singles pushes. The match itself worked well and Adrenaline cut the ring in half but despite this Pagano hit the Calling to retain.
9) M10: Ace Bennett vs. Jack Powers vs. Chris Hammers vs. Riley Shamrock: So we got down to the final four of the 2013 edition of Magnificent 10. There could only be one winner that goes onto Riot Act VI to challenge for the World Title. Ace Bennett went into the match as favourite but now was in the final four with two members of Revolution X, so he was at a disadvantage. The returning Jack Powers was also in the match but his action was kept limited, despite this some fans were wondering whether he’d pull out a shocker and win. There was no elimination for almost 15 minutes then they all came right after one another. Steven Kagemann showed up attacking Chris Hammers (who eliminated him earlier) while the referee was distracted. Powers then got the pin on Hammers to eliminate him and take it down to the final three. The match continued briefly before Riley eliminated Powers with the Irish Welcoming. As Riley got back to his feet Ace Bennett slid in and got a quick school boy pin to get the win.
Massive post match heel heat for Bennett who didn’t eliminate a single competitor until the final where he only got a win by a school boy. Riley was left in the ring wondering what went wrong.
10) SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Mike Hogan: This had tension though the roof. The history of this one stems back to when these two first started off as Students in the Second Class. These two were always the stand out students competing constantly to be the best. They traded wins over the students trophy before both being called up to the main roster. But this didn’t stop them competing, Hogan said in a shoot interview after leaving SNW that he always felt that Hart was his rival and that he was given the title shots he was promised. Hogan even left SNW following a real backstage fight with Hart. The two got great reactions from the crowd, the fans were pretty much 50/50 with duelling ‘Let’s go Hart, Let’s go Hogan’ chants. The match started slow with collar and elbow tie-ups, Hogan took advantage taking Hart down. The two broke then locked up again with Hogan taking Hart down again. They broke and locked up for a third time with Hogan once again getting the advantage but as they broke up Hogan slapped Hart shouting ‘C’mon your better than that!’ Hart then took Hogan off his feet and pounded into him with his fists before the ref broke them up. ‘That’s more like it’ Hogan commented. The match then continued on the ground with both taking advantages through submissions. Hart tried to lock in the Sharpshooter but Hogan got out of it quickly rolling to the outside. Hart and Hogan fought over the ring ropes before the action spilled to the apron. Hogan hit a tigerbomb on the apron then followed it up with a apron dropkick that sent Hart into the barricade. Hogan broke up the ring count, knowing that if Hart was counted out he wouldn’t win the belt. However, as Hogan returned to Hart on the outside he was hit with a drop-toe-hold onto the barricade, then Hart perched Hogan on the barricade, entered back into the ring and hit a suicide dive into the crowd. The 20 count began and Hart got back into the ring at 15 and Hogan just about rolled in time. Hart went for the pin but Hogan got an arm up. Hart signalled for the 450 and went up top but he missed. Hart rolled though back to his feet but was caught with a dropsault and a Futurism. Some of the fans thought that might be it but Hart kicked out. The two got to their feet and traded shots with both men getting ‘Yay’ shouts after each hit. Hart ended the exchange with a superkick and went for the Maple Leaf Revenge but Hogan rolled it back into a small package. Hart kicked out and lifted Hogan for the Maple Leaf Revenge once more, however Hogan floated behind him and over the ropes. A jumping kick sent Hart down and Hogan hit the Springboard Elbow for a close count. Hogan called for the end and hit the Curb Stomp but Hart still kicked out. Hogan then went for the last roll of the dice with another Futurism but Hart span out for the belly to belly piledriver attempt, hit an enziguri and nailed the Maple Leaf Revenge! But Hogan kicked out, then rolled onto the apron. At this point both men had thrown everything at each other but neither were giving up. The fans were on their feet as the match took a pause before continuing on the apron. Hart caught Hogan with a vicious looking knee that busted Hogan’s lip. Hart hit a superkick on the apron and lifted Hogan up top. The two fought up top teasing both the Maple Leaf Revenge off the top and the Futurism off the top which Hogan used to win Be the Best against Bennett. However, Hart hit a Superplex off the top and eventually crawled to make the pin. Hogan kicked out at two and Hart was left on his knees wondering how to put Hogan away. Hart decided that submission was the way forward, so he locked in the Sharpshooter. Hogan got to the ropes but was dragged back to the middle of the ring. After a while in the hold, Hogan turned the submission over and tried a small package pin but Hart kicked out. Hogan used his legs to lift Hart off the mat and went for Hart’s own Maple Leaf Revenge! Hogan hit it and the fans went crazy, Hogan got the pin but Hart kicked out! The bell then sounded as the match had lasted 30 minutes, so it ended as a time limit draw with Hart retaining the belt.
Mixed reaction post match, some boo’s for the time limit but everyone was on their feet after such a great match. A ‘5 more minutes’ chant started and grew and grew before the two exhausted competitors began to contemplate it. Hart held his title up and asked ‘I’m up for it, if you are?’ Hogan just laughed, nodded and said ‘C’mon ‘en’.
11) 5 Minutes Overtime: SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Mike Hogan: The bell sounded and the two circled each other. But before any action got underway Ace Bennett ran out and attacked both men from behind. The referee had no other choice but to call for the bell and announce it to be a double DQ with Hart retaining.
Bennett continued his attack post match, to nuclear heat. He mocked the crowd, he mocked Hart and Hogan and even used their own finishers on them, the Maple Leaf Revenge and the Futurism. Bennett ended with Hogan and Hart either side of him in the middle of the ring, the title around his waist and his arms outstretched as the loudest boo’s in SNW’s history rang throughout the arena.

NEXT SNW iPPV: RIOT ACT VI Live from the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York only on Go Fight Live NEXT SHOW
The biggest SNW card of the year is set, there are three title matches, a title tournament match and the return of the dreaded Warfare. Riot Act VI will be held in New York’s iconic Hammerstein Ballroom. This is bound to go down as one of the greatest nights in SNW’s history, who knows what will happen.
SNW World Championship Kevin Hart vs. Ace Bennett vs. Mike Hogan There was a big decision for the SNW Committee to make, who would challenge Kevin Hart at the biggest event of the year. Hart has had a great reign since winning the title last year against Jack Powers but now faces two of the best around. Legally, Ace Bennett is the no.1 contender. After losing in Australia (after pinning the champ with the referee knocked out) Bennett went onto win the Magnificent 10 and become no.1 contender. However, the tricky part comes with Brit Mike Hogan. Hogan won Be the Best 2013, beating Ace Bennett. In his title match he earnt, he took the champion to the time-limit. But in the 5 minute overtime Ace attacked both men causing a double DQ. As a result the Committee held it unfair to grant just Ace the title match, so they added Hogan to the match. Fans are expecting big things from this match but can Hart retain?
DUOS Championship STL Connection vs. Revolution X Evan Pagano spent over four years in SNW before winning his first title. He brought in long time partner, Devin Curtis and in their first attempt they won the Duos titles. Since then they’ve defended the titles against the likes of the Fire and the Fury, the AirDevils and Adrenaline. But now they face a team they haven’t faced before, the group that started on the very first show, Revolution X. But RevX isn’t made up of your usual team of Safu and LyNN, nor is it made up of Safu and Devine, not even Devine and Hammers. Instead it is made up of Safu and Riley Shamrock. Riley has had to fight to earn his trust in RevX, facing his own teammates to earn their respect. Firstly Hammers to gain a spot in the group, then Devine to earn his trust and most recently Safu in three great matches for them to be able to team together. It seemed to have worked but can they now win the belts?
Warfare VI Mike Bockwinkel, Kineval Brothers and Cameron Stone vs. Red Assassins, Nick Jacobs and ? One of the most brutal matches in SNW returns, this time to sort out the age old feud between Mike Bockwinkel and Red Dragon. The feud restarted this year when Mike Bockwinkel found Dragon’s mask in his locker room. Bock thought Dragon was playing mind games but Dragon claimed to have done nothing. This resulted in Dragon returning to face Bock one-on-one. However, Dragon’s brothers, Sam and Lee Kineval returned to beat down Dragon, siding with Bock. Dragon brought in the help of Nick Jacobs, Bockwinkel’s old tag partner but it wasn’t enough. Dragon then brought in his own tag partner to even the score, Assassin but Bockwinkel later brought in wrestling legend, Cameron Stone. Now Dragon has challenged his old rival to a four-on-four Warfare bout. But who will be the fourth member of Team Dragon?
Daniel Sinn vs. Drew Parkland The New Age Lady Killers were undoubtedly the best team in SNW winning titles both in SNW and in Japan. They won countless accolades and trophies in their time as a team but at last year’s Clash of the Duos Daniel Sinn turned on his long time tag partner. For months we haven’t seen Drew Parkland but we did see his children. First, his eldest son Duke showed up attacking Sinn, then two of Drew’s other children showed up, Axel and Rose. Drew still didn’t show up until Sinn laid his hands on Rose. Now daddy Drew is back and he’s got a bone to pick with Daniel Sinn.
Chris Hammers vs. Steven Kagemann Both these two have had an impressive 2013 so far. Both men started the year well with wins in the Canadian tour before Hammers won the Battle of Canada to earn a World Title shot. Hammers was unsuccessful in his title challenge and looked to bounce straight back in the Magnificent 10. In the match he eliminated Kagemann but later on, Kagemann re-appeared and attacked Hammers taking him out of the match. Now Hammers wants revenge. Kagemann also got to the final four of Be the Best and pinned the World Champ in a tag match. So who will come out on top?
FUSE Championship Cody Rejero vs. Zeke (TCW) Former SNW student Zeke returns to SNW. Zeke left SNW after two unsuccessful terms in the company. However, since leaving Zeke has become a big name all over the country and back home in the UK. Zeke has even set up his own company, Future Pro Wrestling. But Zeke will be representing SNW’s partner promotion, Twin Cities Wrestling. The FUSE title is no stranger to being taken away from SNW but can Zeke take the title away to TCW?
Bret Thomas vs. A.J Matthews These two former partners face off one more. We thought the feud was over but it looks like it’s got one more match to go. Thomas won the last match clean but then attacked AJ in Magnificent 10. Thomas shared his views on YouTube. Saying that he couldn’t believe AJ was given a spot in the M10 over him. Now they face off once more.
Women’s Championship Tournament Beast Kong vs. Kourtney Love The Women’s title tournament continues, who will join Wasp and Amy Lee in the final four? Beast Kong makes her debut, she’s a Strong Style brawler from Japan and poses a huge threat to SNW’s women’s division. Love meanwhile has shown promise so far in SNW but will have a tough challenge here. Tag Team Gauntlet Fire and the Fury vs. AirDevils vs. Adrenaline vs. Elliot Reid and Dean Caufield vs. Jason Williams and Dave Demento vs. Rory Wiseman and DJ Hughes vs. Jacob Ryler and El Hijo de Angel Custodio vs. Gareth Ashdown and Matt Spade Eight teams will face off in two-on-two, winner stays on, Gauntlet style match. There’s a good mixture of experienced teams like Arsenic and Fury, Cantrell and Gerard and Jackal and Static and thrown together teams. In winning this match the team will get to pick their own opponents for the upcoming Clash of the Duos. Who will get the advantage.
Jack Joseph vs. Carson Clark vs. Jet Jaguar Three way highflying action will kick off the blockbuster night of action in New York. They are three of the best highflyers around: Joseph ‘the Flying Saint’, Carson ‘the fastest wrester alive’ and youngster Jet Jaguar. This is ‘bout to kick off the show in Ballroom in a great way. Who will pick up the win?

Post by Ace Bennett on Dec 11, 2013 22:49:23 GMT -5
Awesome to see Ace pick up the win in Magnificent 10. This is going really well, and I'm glad to see you chugging through it to yet another Riot Act event. The full blown heel turn against Hogan and Hart was great, and I hope that getting such a huge reaction is a sign of things to come for Ace. Could see Alicia getting involved in the feud at some point, would love a double cross on Hart to a heel brother/sister team. Still enjoying the Riley push, and the Warfare match with Team Bock vs. Team Dragon should be really good especially. Keep it up.

Jack Powers got up on stage. He was the first ever winner of the next award and was World Champ last year. He’s missing Riot Act tomorrow because of injury that has damaged his opportunity to be in the running this year. He talked about the early days of SNW but said that new guys keep coming in to challenge the top dogs. He said you can see it now in Bennett, Hart and Hogan. All challenging for the belt tomorrow, while years ago they were students or stuck in jobber tag teams. He said for as long as SNW keeps going this will happen and singled out Riley Shamrock in particular.

Kevin Hart accepted his award on stage, hugging Jack Powers. Hart said that he couldn’t have achieved this without his great opponent. He spoke about Ace Bennett saying how they became great friends last year and is enjoying working with him. He thanked Powers giving him the breakout match he needed to win the belt. He called Powers, ‘technically the best wrestler around’. Then he spoke of Henry Edwards. Hart said he learnt so much working with him, both in and out of the ring. And said that match. Because of all the build up to it is going to be his favourite match for a long long time.
Marc Ryland was the final person to hand out an award. He said some people have asked him what the difference between the ‘Best Wrestler’ and ‘MVP’ award. Ryland explained that the ‘Best Wrestler’ award is for the wrestler who puts on the best matches, while the ‘MVP’ is for the wrestler who the company couldn’t have done without in the last year. He explained each nomination: Hammers returned at Riot Act last year and has had some great matches since while also leading RevX, Powers was the champ at last year’s Riot Act and had some great matches including the loss to Hart but his absence has caused him to slip down the list, Bennett was a part of a great team with Hart before challenging for the title this year but had a little down time in-between that stops him from entering the top two, Edwards came in second despite missing all of this year due to signing with the WWE. However, Ryland explained that Edwards role was so crucial explaining his high ranking. But, Ryland said that there was only one choice for MVP. Kevin Hart did great alongside Bennett as Duos champs then won the World title in a great bout from Powers, he defended the title in a classic against Edwards before entering the new year as champion where he has defended against the likes of Bennett, Hammers and Hogan, all in matches of the highest quality.
MVP 1. Kevin Hart 2. Henry Edwards 3. Ace Bennett 4. Jack Powers 5. Chris Hammers - 2009: Chris Hammers 2010: Henry Edwards 2011: Ace Bennett 2012: Henry Edwards
Kevin Hart stepped up on the stage to accept his second major award. Hart said he didn’t deserve to win both awards. He joked to Bennett that now he was ‘Kinda a Big Deal’ now. He then talked about his time in SNW, starting at his humble beginnings debuting on the first Riot Act event as ‘Kev Dogs’. He talked about the uncertainty of SNW after that event and how he thought SNW was over. Even when SNW started back up, Hart said he didn’t expect to be called back. Hart said he’s had some of the greatest moments of his career in SNW and once again thanked all the wrestlers he’s worked with and will worked with. He finished putting over the backstage staff who do such a good job but go underappreciated. A short video then played to end the evening showing an updated list of the top 25 matches in SNW history.

But I gotta keep looking forward, I will walk out of Riot Act as Champion. Riley ShamrockThis year at Riot Act VI: Teaming with Safu, challenging for the Duos titles Last year at Riot Act V: Played a vital role in helping Rev X defeat United Front in Warfare What he had to say: It’s been a tough year, I’ve taken some beatings and I’ve given out a fair few too.

So I dunno what’s gone on. But I left last year and me kids ‘ave come in since. It’s good to be back and I’ll be runnin’ me own show soon. But first let’s deal with this weasel. Mike BockwinkelThis year at Riot Act VI: Captaining a team to face rival Red Dragon Last year at Riot Act V: Challenged Edwards unsuccessfully over his role in SNW What he had to say: The past is the past and that’s all I have to say about Edwards. This year however, I’m facing Red Dragon. I’m very assured that my team is stronger. I know Sam and Lee (Kineval) from TCW, while Stone’s family and mine now each other very well. We also have the advantage, so there’s no chance Dragon’s going to win. Cody RejeroThis year at Riot Act VI: Defending the FUSE Championship against Zeke representing TCW Last year at Riot Act V: Teamed with the Lady Killers to finally get his hands on Jason Williams What he had to say: The last year has been my best in wrestling, I’ve had some friends in the past like Baz (Hepburn) and Jason (Williams) but Drew really helped me last year when I needed it. I’ve been on the up since. It’s such an honour to be representing SNW and I won’t let the side down. It’s Pepsi Time. Evan PaganoThis year at Riot Act VI: Defending the Duos Championship against Revolution X Last year at Riot Act V: Was a part of the invading force, the United Front facing Revolution X What he had to say: It’s always Revolution X eh? At least this time I’m fighting the right cause. I’ll be the first to admit what I did last year was wrong but now I’m back doing the right thing. It’s a great feeling to hold a title, especially with my best friend. I’ll do everything to keep it. Warfare RecordsWith the return of the highly popular Warfare match looming we check out the records the competitors have from the previous Warfare matches. Mike Bockwinkel is the only person in this year’s match to have Warfare experience but that doesn’t really seem to be an advantage, since he’s lost both previous matches. Jordan Devine 4-0* Chris Hammers 4-1 Safu 3-1 LyNN 3-1 Riley Shamrock 1-0 Henry Edwards 1-0 Jushin "Thunder" Liger 1-0 Evan Pagano 1-2 Jack Powers 1-3 Daniel Sinn 0-1 Drew Parkland 0-1 Kevin Hart 0-1 Mike Hogan 0-1 Steven Kagemann 0-1 Zakk Static 0-1 Cain Jackal 0-1 Jacob Ryler 0-1 Jack Joseph 0-1 Mike Bockwinkel 0-2 *Replaced Bret Thomas at Warfare 3

Riot Act VILive from the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York only on Go Fight LiveWe cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it- Che GuevaraA video package begins, skipping quickly though previous Riot Act events. Then it continued showing: Riley Shamrock and Safu facing off before reconciling, the feud between Bockwinkel and Dragon, then Hart’s reign as champ including his battles with Bennett and Hogan. 1) Carson Clark vs. Jet Jaguar vs. Jack Joseph: The show kicked off with fantastic highflying action. The match started before the bell as Jaguar attacked Clark during the entrance. Joseph then hit a dive over onto Joseph. This was a perfect iPPV opener, since there was no pre-show match this was left to warm up the crowd and it did a fantastic job. The exchanges between Jaguar and Clark were the highlights but there were plenty from all three men. Clark hit the Swan Dive DDT on Jaguar to seal the win. 2) Gauntlet: Odd placing for this match, but where else will it go on the card? The match started with Reid and Caufield facing off against Gareth Ashdown and Matt Spade. Reid and Caufield were announced as Mockingbird and won the crowd over with their highflying. The newly named team took the win after an Ell-evation on Ashdown. Wiseman and Hughes then came into face Reid and Caufield which was pretty uneventful aside from a double dive from Mockingbird. Reid and Caufield picked up a second win following an American Upset from Caufield. Zakk Static and Cain Jackal of Adrenaline were next and they have had problems with Mockingbird recently. Adrenaline controlled it but Mockingbird had won over the crowd. The fans were behind Mockingbird winning again but they fell to the Spear from Jackal. Jacob Ryler and El Hijo de Angel Custodio were next out and they gave Adrenaline some problems. But they fell to the teaming experience of Adrenaline after Static hit a Brainbuster. Adrenaline played they’re heel roles well, waiting for the next team who turned out to be Gerard and Cantrell, the AirDevils who got a great reaction. The AirDevils wowed the crowd as they always do and hit the old team finisher of the Sky High to get the win. The penultimate team was the strange teaming of Jason Williams and Dave Demento. The story of this team was Demento was the aggressor and looked good in everything he did while Jason is still suffering from losing the FUSE title last year. It came as no surprise that the AirDevils got the pin on Jason following a Bombs Away. Demento complained walking to the back without his tag partner. The last team were the Fire and the Fury, they came straight in and took control. Using heel tactics and cutting the ring in half Arsenic and Fury took control. The AirDevils played the perfect underdogs and the fans were 100% behind them. The AirDevils nearly got the win on a few occasions but eventually fell to the Assisted Piledriver. Arsenic and Fury celebrated their win amongst boo’s and as a result will get to choose their first round Clash of Duos opponents. 3) Women’s Championship Tournament: Beast Kong vs. Kourtney Love: This was always going to go one way, the Kong way. Love is a good worker and won the crowd over but she was always going to lose to the much larger Kong. Love had a few bits of offence but Kong was throwing her about. In one of Love’s parts of offence she tried for a diving hurricanrana but Kong just caught her and dropped her with the Sitdown Powerbomb to advance. Afterwards, Kong let out a primal scream, sending a message to her competitors in the tournament. 4) Bret Thomas vs. A.J Matthews: This match got the crowd going, both men just went heavy hitting from the word go and both were landing big blows. As a result the fans got into the match straight away. Sensing that Thomas was getting the better of him AJ began to change the match by using his speed to take control. Thomas then changed the match a third time by using suplexes and backdrops to weaken Thomas. For the final time the two punched away at each other before Thomas dropped AJ with the Fall. 5) FUSE: Cody Rejero vs. Zeke (TCW): This was the last match before intermission and both men worked well to get the crowd going into the break happy. Both men got good reactions, Zeke especially since he was returning to SNW but now representing TCW. The match started up with lock ups and some technical holds before the two began some comedy moments which included a series of pin counts which seemed like they were never ending. Zeke seemed the perfect opponent for Cody, as they could both work technical and add in their unique comedy style. There was no TCW title win here as Cody hit the Pepsi Cutter ala DDP for the win. Intermission. This was the first break of the night, all of the fans are happy so far. The AirDevils were out to entertain the crowd, they are always a fan favourite anywhere SNW goes. They hyped up the next section of the show. 6) Daniel Sinn vs. Drew Parkland: Drew’s children were in the front row and he hugged them before entering the ring. Sinn made his entrance and pelvic trusted towards Rose which sent Drew chasing Sinn. Sinn entered the ring with Drew close behind and Sinn hit a lariat to begin the match. He tried for the early pin but Parkland kicked out. The opening stages of the match was Sinn in control, playing full heel to the crowd which despised him. Sinn had to cut off Parkland’s comeback attempts twice before Drew fought his way back into the match with the will of the crowd on his side. He was on a roll until he went for a suplex and Sinn wiggled to send himself then Drew over the top rope and down to the floor. Sinn was first to his feet breaking up the count before laying the boots to Parkland on the floor. Sinn sent Parkland into the ringpost busting him open then the barricade. Sinn placed Drew in front of his children and mocked them. Then he wiped his hands in Drew’s blood and wiped it in his son Duke’s face! Duke was enraged but held back by security. Back in the ring Sinn tried to finish off the match with a rope hung DDT. Sinn then went for a Superplex but Drew reversed it hitting a diving dropkick. Parkland took control and even locked in the Confederacy Choke but Sinn got to the ropes. Sinn then went to some old heel tactics, exposing the turnbuckle but it was only used for distraction, because as the referee put it back on Sinn pulled out some brass knuckles hitting Parkland with them. The Parkland family were enraged at ringside and more staff were brought out to contain them. Sinn swaggered around the ring before lifting a lifeless Parkland and hitting him with the Original Sinn for the win. After the match, the staff struggled to control the Parkland family. Sinn then wiped some more blood off Parkland’s brow and wiped it on his chest. This was the final straw and Duke Parkland burst away from the pack, got in the ring and tackled Sinn to the floor laying fists into him. The staff eventually got back control but only after Sinn had made his exit. 7) Chris Hammers vs. Steven Kagemann: This match struggled to deal with the emotion of the last match but had better match quality. The fans didn’t really get into this one till the end. One of the problems is Hammers, he kind of plays a face but is much better suited to being a heel. Kagemann has been one of the best performers of 2013 and continued it here. The match started slow to begin with but the crowd lacking they began heavy hitting to get the crowd going. Hammers can be a heavy hitter when he wants and Kagemann’s got the best looking (and sounding) kicks in SNW. The end sequence had both men showing their top moves off. Kagemann missed the Fire Tornado which led to Hammers hitting the Hammers combo (Lariat, Liger Bomb, Last Minute Orders). Post match, Hammers exited leaving Kagemann struggling to get to his feet. The referee tried to help but Kagemann just pushed him away. Kagemann’s stablemates in Adrenaline, Static and Jackal came out to help. Kagemann was groggy and his group held him up, before turning on him. Jackal threw Kagemann to the floor and laughed at him. Stattic laid the boots to him before Jackal hit a Spear and Static then hit a brainbuster. 8) DUOS: STL Connection vs. Revolution X: Pagano and Curtis have done well since winning the belts, defending the title against the likes of the Fire and the Fury, the AirDevils and Adrenaline. While their opponents, Safu and Riley have been facing each other rather than teaming with one another. STL were cheered loudly while RevX got an odd reaction as Riley was cheered heavily and Safu got a mixed reaction. The action was pretty even, all four men getting involved heavily before RevX stopped Curtis making the tag. The hot tag was made to Pagano who nearly got the win with the Calling but it was broken up. The STL then stopped Riley tagging out but the “Young Gun” fought back getting his own hot tag to Safu. The Samoan monster came in and dominated. Curtis and Pagno tried to fight back into it but Safu shrugged off the Sick Kick but was taken down and Curtis hit the 450 Splash. However, Riley broke up the pin-count. Riley went for the Irish Welcoming but Pagano interjected. Safu then took out Pagano with a running crossbody which allowed Riley to lock in the Ode to Shamrock which had Curtis tapping. Intermission. STL Connection left, dejected at losing their title. While Safu and Riley celebrated winning the belts, it’s Safu’s third Duos title with his third different partner and Riley’s first taste of SNW gold. Two more matches left to go and the staff set up for the next match during intermission by putting up the cage for Warfare. 9) Warfare VI: Red Assassins, Nick Jacobs and ? vs. Mike Bockwinkel, Kineval Brothers and Cameron Stone: The match started with Nick Jacobs representing Team Dragon and Sam Kineval representing Team Bockwinkel. These two former FUSE Champions and tag team partners had some good chemistry to kick off the match. It was pretty even until Jacobs sent Sam into the cage. Luckily for Sam, the countdown began and because Team Bockwinkel won the Warfare advantage match they had the next man running in. The next man out was Sam’s brother, Lee Kineval. Lee ran in and took down Jacobs. Jacobs began to fight back before Sam turned the numbers advantage to Team Bock’s favour. Sam and Lee double teamed Jacobs and threw him into the cage. Next out was captain Red Dragon, he sprinted to the ring and took down both of his brothers. Dragon was on fire as he beat away both Kineval’s, even busting open Sam with a cut above his eyebrow. Dragon even hit a double superplex off the top rope which really got the crowd going. Dragon then eliminated Lee with the Red Dragon Driver. However, his luck was about to run out as Cameron Stone marched down to the ring. Stone brawled with Dragon as he entered and his strikes took great effect. Stone used his size and strength to beat down both Dragon and Jacobs but couldn’t put either of them away. Team Dragon then brought in their third member, Assassin. He springboarded in onto Sam then climbed part way up the cage and dived off in a crossbody. However Stone caught him in mid-air, slammed him against the cage and dropped him on his head. By this point Jacobs was more of a witness than a competitor, every now and then either Stone or Sam would lay the boots to him in the corner. Mike Bockwinkel was the final man to enter but he casually walked down to the ring and did very little in the ring as Stone delt the damage to Dragon and Assassin. The Red Assassins tried a comeback and almost hit the Red Dragon Driver/kick but Stone broke it up and hit the Cam Slam on Assassin to eliminate him. Bock, Stone and Sam beat down Dragon and then waited for the final man, ‘Who are you?’ Bock called out, ‘Show your face’. The lights went out. As they returned Ricky Slayer stood in the ring! Sam ran at him but was taken out by an uppercut. Stone then squared up to Slayer and went down after a lariat. Slayer was left alone with Bockwinkel and pointed at him. Bockwinkel retreated until he walked into the cage, Slayer then grabbed him and sent him into the cage three times. But then Stone and Sam jumped him from behind. They began their beat down on Slayer but Dragon made the save which allowed Slayer to eliminate Sam with the Days of Futures Past to eliminate him. Bockwinkel then stole a pin on Slayer, rolling him up from behind to eliminate him. Slayer was enraged but punched out Bockwinkel before being told to leave by the officials. Stone and Bockwinkel took control beating down Dragon but Team Bock got distracted beating down Dragon and didn’t notice Jacobs getting to his feet. Bock turned around and saw Jacobs on his feet and went to attack but Jacobs held his arms up and offered the handshake. Bock smiled and accepted. Boo’s rung throughout the Ballroom until Jacobs smashed Bockwinkel in the face, he didn’t turn heel after all. Jacobs and Dragon then teamed up to take out Stone with Jacobs hitting the Jacobs Drop to eliminate him. Bock then tried to exit, jumping out of the ring as the cage door opened for Stone. Dragon and a bloody Jacobs gave chase until they chased him between them. Bockwinkel only saw one way out, up. Bockwinkel climbed the cage on the outside while Dragon followed. Jacobs entered the ring as Dragon caught Bockwinkel on top of the cage. The two wobbled to their feet before Dragon got control and threw Bock off the cage back into the ring. Back in the ring Jacobs got the pin to eliminate Bockwinkel and win the match. As the staff pulled apart the cage, a video played highlighting Hart’s reign so far, including his defences against both Bennett and Hogan. As we returned from the video, the cage was gone. Mike Hogan was first to make his way out, “Shoot the Runner” played as the crowd chanted “Next World Champ”. “Ace of Spades” next played as Bennett strutted down to the ring in his leather jacket. The fans were booing him loudly, it seems the fans have accepted him fully as a heel now, even if they love him as a competitor. Last out was the champion, making his way out to “Error Operator”. Hart got a great response and got in the face of both challengers before the match began. 10) SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Ace Bennett vs. Mike Hogan: The match started with plenty of circling, all wondering who to attack first. It was Hogan who attacked first, jumping Hart, which in turn, allowed Ace to jump Hogan. Ace began taking it to Hogan before Hart broke them up. Hart battled with Ace before Hogan broke it up. Hogan realised he would have a much better chance if he threw someone to the outside, so he launched Ace over the ropes. However, Ace held on and threw Hogan over instead. Ace springboarded back in but was caught with a Superkick. Hart went for the pin but Ace kicked out. Hart then summoned the spirit of Henry Edwards hitting the triple Germans. Hart then began to lock Ace up into submissions which tore away at his limbs. Hogan ran in and broke up the count, then threw Hart to the outside. Bennett battled back into it and the two ran the ropes, ducking under clotheslines and jumping over arched backs before suddenly Hogan dived over the top rope onto Hart on the outside! Hogan sprung back up to his feet but was caught by Bennett who hit a Suicide Dive to the outside. Bennett then lifted the champ on the apron and dropped him with a brainbuster. Ace got back to his feet but his feet were taken away by Hogan who pulled his legs, dropping Ace on the apron landing on his back. Hogan got on the apron and delivered a soccer kick to Bennett as he got back up. Hogan sent Ace back into the ring and tried for the pin but it was not successful. Hogan worked away on Ace and hit the Curb Stomp, however Hart broke up the count and sent Hogan to the outside by putting Hogan on the top rope and hitting a superkick to send him to the outside. As Hart turned around his was struck by a double knee face breaker from Bennett that nearly sealed the win. It was Bennett’s turn to take control. Bennett hit a Shinning Wizard for a close count before knocking Hogan off the apron as he made a recovery. Ace turned around into Hart who took him off his feet and locked in the Sharpshooter. This was only broken up by Hogan’s springboard dropkick. Hogan lifted Bennett and locked him in the Gory Special. This time it was Hart’s turn to break it up, then he went to the top rope and went for the 450 Splash. Hogan moved but Hart still caught Ace in a running elbow before attempting a Maple Leaf Revenge which Hogan stopped. Hogan then hit his own finisher, the Futurism on Hart, then climbed up top. Bennett stopped him with a kick and hit the Syracuse Drop on Hogan and onto Hart! The fans thought the match was done as Ace pulled Hogan over and Hart and pinned them both but both men kicked out! Bennett then pulled Hogan into the middle of the ring for the Syracuse Lock. Hogan struggled to stay conscious so was lucky when Hart broke up the count with a Superkick. Hart pulled Bennett to his feet and hit the 2013 Finisher of the year, the Maple Leaf Revenge. Hogan, wearily crawled towards the pin count but couldn’t break it up in time as Hart got the three count to retain the belt. The show ended with Hogan and Bennett on opposite sides of the ring with their heads in their hands. The fans were on their feet after such a good match and so was Hart, who stood triumphant with the SNW World Championship.

Great show. I hadn't realized I had appeared in here haha. I kind of beasted in the match there, but I knew my team wouldn't win, needed to be a face win there. Was hoping to see Bennett win, but the write up for the main event there was intense man

Parkland’s Promotion #1
Notes: The crowd is round about 100 strong, a lot smaller than SNW’s shows but similar to when SNW started out. The crowd is spilt 50/50 with SNW fans and casual wrestling fans. The show was advertised as a family friendly show and unlike a SNW show there’s plenty of children around. The set up is pretty simple and there seems to be the rest of Parkland’s children running round performing certain roles, Axel who wrestled in SNW recently was at ringside in a referee shirt.
The show opened with Drew Parkland coming out to cheers, he welcomed the fans and thanked them all from coming. “Bulls on Parade” cut him off as Bret Thomas marched out. He bragged himself up before dropping Drew with a Lariat to boo’s. Drew’s eldest son Duke ran out but Thomas dumped him on his back too. Thomas lifted Duke in the Fall but Daniel Sinn ran out, punched at Thomas before clotheslining him over the top rope. The Parkland’s and Sinn remained in the ring as Thomas retreated up the ramp. The fans applauded Sinn, it seems as if he is going to play face in this promotion unlike in SNW where he is facing Parkland.
1) Gareth Ashdown vs. Justin Allusion: One of SNW’s students faced a former student of SNW. 19 year old Welshman Ashdown took on the masked Allusion. Ashdown played face and got the crowd on his side, the match was pretty even with both men coming off well. Allusion got the win with the Jumping Face Breaker called the Gateway to Insanity.
2) Mockingbird vs. Rory Wiseman and DJ Hughes: Mockingbird of Elliot Reid and Dean Caufield did a good job before the match getting the crowd on their side. These teams have faced off many times before but this was probably their best since they had plenty of time to work with. Reid and Caufield work like a less experienced AirDevils but have plenty of potential being 20 and 19 years old respectively. The crowd really grew to like Mockingbird and in turn hate Wiseman and Hughes. Reid got the win with the Ell-evation.
3) Rose Parkland vs. Red Fire: Women’s action was up next, Rose played up to the crowd to get them on her side while Red was very cocky in her actions. Rose isn’t a very good wrestler but she’ll improve. Red took full control of this match and did well to not just put herself over as a heel but to create sympathy for Rose. Red went for the Diving Crossbody but Rose missed which had the crowd clapping for Rose to begin her comeback but Red just hit her with a hurricanrana before hitting a Moonsault for the win.
After the two competitors had left Dave Demento came out wearing a denim jacket, he took the mic from ringside and pushed over the referee. He got in the ring and did the ‘I’m too good to be wrestling here’ speech. Demento is great on the mic and could really turn out to be something special. He challenged one young fan to step in the ring. However, he did then say he would “whup his a** from post to post”. I’d suspect him to be scolded for that. Sensing anything worse, Cody came out with the FUSE title on his shoulder and told Demento to shut up.
4) FUSE: Cody Rejero vs. Dave Demento: The match started straight into the action. Unlike everyone else so far Demento didn’t really change his style for the family audience. He was pretty hard hitting and technical which was great to see and showed how good he can be. Cody worked off Demento well and gave him plenty of time to show what he can do, unlike if this match was booked in SNW. Demento seemed to be setting up for the shoot kick constantly but Cody kept dodging it before he caught Demento with the Pepsi Cutter.
Intermission. Cody Rejero stayed out at the break and allowed fans to pose with his title. Jacob Ryler was shown walking around too, he is helping Parkland run the show.
When we returned from the break Drew Parkland and his eldest son Duke made their way out. Drew got the mic and asked the fans if their having a nice time. They were cut off by former SNW wrestlers Beast and Jugg.
5) Drew Parkland and Duke Parkland vs. Beast and Jugg: This was always going to be your typical ‘babyfaces in peril’ match. Both Beast and Jugg had significant size, weight and strength advantage over the Parkland’s so they dominated the early goings. Duke tried to fight back but was cut off from making the tag to his father. Drew, the tag specialist, did a great job building the crowd up for a hot tag while Beast and Jugg did some heel tactics like pulling Drew off the apron when the tag was about to be made. Eventually the tag was made to daddy Parkland and he took down both big men. Drew began to fall to the numbers but his son flew off the top in a diving crossbody onto both. Drew then locked in the KFC on Beast and got the submission win.
Beast and Jugg made a swift exit as Drew and Duke celebrated in the ring. The pirate song from Lazy Town played and Petey the Pirate made his entrance. He entered the ring and came face to face with old rival Drew. After a little stare down Petey handed Drew an eyepatch and the two danced about to the pirate music. The trio handed out eyepatches to the younger members of the audience before leaving together.
6) Bret Thomas vs. Daniel Sinn: Thomas was very mouthy as he made his entrance, building himself up well as the heel. Daniel Sinn came out to a good reaction, second only to Parkland himself. This was strange to see after SNW building him up as a heel for so long. This was never going to be a wrestling classic that these two were capable of, they were going to put on a good entertaining match for the audience. They began locking up with Thomas going over with his strength before Sinn went more technical, taking out Thomas’ legs to gain advantage. The match carried on pretty evenly and included a dive to the outside, a 20 count stalling suplex from Thomas (which he counted himself) and Sinn hitting a double knee gutbuster for a close count. The story told was that the bigger Thomas wore himself out, so when he went for the Fall, Sinn could easily get out of it and hit the Original Sinn, a Tiger Driver for the three count.
Notes: Overall a fun family show. It’s not going to set the wrestling world alight but it’s a smaller family friendly alternative to SNW. It gave the younger guys in SNW a chance to perform and showed us some former SNW competitors. All the fans left happy and the regular SNW fans who made the journey were told via Twitter to stay behind after the show to meet up with the roster. Only 20 or so people remained and Parkland brought out some beers to share with them and the roster.

Clash of the Duos 2013
SNW’s yearly tag tournament is back in ‘The Clash of the Duos 2013’. 16 teams will look to go through three nights of action and emerge not just with the Duos titles but also with the title of Clash of the Duos 2013 winners.
Key Clash of the Duos Winners Eliminated in the Finals Eliminated in Semi-Finals Eliminated in Quarter-Finals Eliminated in Round of 16 / Eliminated in Qualifiers (2010 only)
Revolution X (Safu and Riley Shamrock) 2009- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals (Safu Only) 2011- Eliminated in Finals (Safu Only) 2012- Eliminated in Semi-Finals (Safu Only) The newly crowned champions go into Clash of the Duos in the toughest of positions. No Duos Champions that have entered the tournament has walked out with them. However, now that they have patched up their differences they seem unstoppable team. And in Safu they have a tag specialist, he’s been in three previous CoD’s and won the Duos titles twice before with two different partners. Odds: 1:3
Fire and the Fury (Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury) 2011- Eliminated in Round of 16 2012- Clash of Duos Winners The second seeded team are last year’s winners and current no.1 contenders. Arsenic and Fury won the titles and the accolade of Clash of the Duos last year but had their reign cut short in Canada as they were defeated by the STL Connection. Their crafty ways do make them a favourite to follow in the Lady Killers footsteps and repeat last year’s success. Odds: 1:3
STL Connection (Evan Pagano and Devin Curtis) 2011- Eliminated in Round of 16 (Pagano Only) 2012- Eliminated in Round of 16 (Pagano Only) Evan Pagano has never gotten past the round of 16, he’s previously had two partners: Mike Quackenbush (as Lightning Calling) and Jack Powers (as United Front). But neither time did the team seem to click. But earlier on this year he brought in his long-time tag partner, Devin Curtis and they instantly won the Duos titles. Now they get a great opportunity to win the titles back that they lost at the last event. Odds: 1:5
AirDevils (Tom Gerard and Travis Cantrell) 2009- Eliminated in Round of 16 (Gerard Only) 2010- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals (Gerard Only) 2011- Clash of the Duos Winners (Gerard Only) 2012- Eliminated in Semi-Finals (Gerard Only) Back in 2011, sick of losing, the AirDevils were on the verge of splitting up. Then they did the seemingly impossible, they won the Clash of the Duos. This year, with Clark focusing on singles work, Gerard has been teaming up with Cantrell. So it makes sense for Gerard to team with Cantrell. The AirDevils are always a fan favourite and they’re high flying style puts on a hell of a show. But can they get the wins to take them to the final? Odds: 1:6
Knife Fight (Zakk Static and Cain Jackal) 2012- Eliminated in the Quarter-Finals Formally known as Adrenaline, Static and Jackal have broken away from Kagemann’s group and formed ‘Knife Fight’. Last year they managed to get to the Quarter-Finals but now they have a year’s more experience under their belts. However, they have suffered a lack of form recently but with a name change and a new emphasis, they will be looking to make an impact. Odds: 1:8
Mockingbird (Elliot Reid and Dean Caufield) This time last year Reid and Caufield were still very much students. But even back then they were teaming together. Now they have a few wins to their name and some momentum going into SNW’s biggest tag tournament. We’ve seen upsets before but is this a step too far? Odds: 1:20
Kevin Hart and Cody Rejero 2009- Hart- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals 2010- Hart- Eliminated in Qualifiers / Rejero- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals 2011- Hart- Eliminated in Semi-Finals / Rejero- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals 2012- Hart- Eliminated in Round of 16 The SNW World Champion and the FUSE Champion are commonly paired up in SNW’s Clash of the Duos but unlike previous years where the team have been strange bedfellows these two have teamed before all around North America in a variety of promotions. Now they bring their team to SNW, what an achievement it would be for both men to walk out with two titles each. Odds: 1:10
Ace Bennett and Mike Hogan 2009- Bennett- Eliminated in Round of 16 2010- Eliminated in Qualifiers 2011- Bennett- Eliminated in Round of 16 / Hogan - Eliminated in Semi-Final 2012- Bennett- Eliminated in Round of 16 There’s always one team at ‘Clash of the Duos’ which could go one of two ways: either be fantastically good or fantastically bad. These two have been battling over the no.1 contendership to the SNW World Championship, even fighting in the finals of Be the Best. But if we’ve learnt one thing from the current champions, is if you face your partner it might make your team stronger. Odds: 1:15
Jack Joseph and A.J Matthews 2010- Joseph- Eliminated in Qualifiers 2011- Eliminated in Round of 16 (Separate Teams) 2012- Joseph- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals / AJ- Eliminated Round of 16 This is one of SNW’s friends, turned enemies, turned friends, turned enemies and now turned friends teams. When AJ first came into SNW representing KWC he began teaming with Jack, earning a Duos titles match in which AJ turned on Jack. Since then they have been feuding over the FUSE title but this year AJ returned to the ring after an injury break with the fans support. Now this team have been put back together but can they work together? Odds: 1:18
Steven Kagemann and Jason Williams 2009- Eliminated in the Round of 16 (separate teams) 2010- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals (Jason Only) 2011- Jason- Eliminated in Quarter-Finals / Kagemann- Eliminated in the Round of 16 2012- Eliminated in Round of 16 At first this may seem a bit of an odd team, the man on a roll Kagemann and the man in a slump Jason but these two were partners last year representing the United Front, but with the UF disbanded these two compete together because they got nothing else. Kagemann’s group recently turned on him and Jason just keeps losing. Can they use their previous teaming experience (both together and in other teams) to win the tournament. Odds: 1:18
Parkland’s (Drew and Duke Parkland) 2009- Clash of the Duos Winners (Drew Only) 2010- Clash of the Duos Winners (Drew Only) 2011- Eliminated in the Quarter-Finals (Drew Only) 2012- Eliminated in Round of 16 (Drew Only) The New Age Lady Killers had competed in every Clash of the Duos so far, even winning the first two. However, after losing in the Round of 16 last year Sinn turned on long term partner. Sinn has been battling with the Parkland’s since and now with the return of Drew he will make his first Clash of the Duos appearance without Sinn. However, he will be teaming with someone he knows very well, his son. Odds: 1:14
Mike Bockwinkel and Cameron Stone 2009: Eliminated in the Quarter-Finals (Bock Only) 2010: Eliminated in Semi-Finals (Bock Only) 2011: Eliminated in Round of 16 (Bock Only) Mike Bockwinkel has had three different tag partners in Clash of the Duos: Austin Aries, Nick Jacobs and Katsuhiko Nakajima but still hasn’t gone all the way. Now after defeat in Warfare he brings a member of his team to Clash of the Duos. Stone will bring and extra dimension for Bockwinkel’s team and this multi-generational team will be looking to go all the way. Odds: 1:8
Red Assassins (Red Dragon and Assassin) 2010: Eliminated in Qualifiers One of the top teams around come to SNW’s top tag team event, Dragon has recently been embroiled in a feud with Mike Bockwinkel and brought in his tag partner to help. After defeating Bock in Warfare, the two former SCW Tag Team Champions will look to get to the final. They were previously eliminated in Qualifiers back in 2010 but now in the tournament themselves they have a good chance. Odds: 1:10
Diamond Fortune (Alex Diamond and Drake Fortune) 2010: Eliminated in the Quarter-Finals Returning to SNW for 3 nights only, are former students of SNW. These two were quite successful as a team before they went their separate ways: Diamond joined the House of Cards while Fortune won the FUSE title. They left SNW to go to Mexico, but left without winning the Duos titles. Now here’s their chance. Odds: 1:12
Matthew Anderson Racing Team (Chase Bryant and Kevin Craig) [TCW] Please welcome the team representing Twin Cities Wrestling, Bryant and Craig the Matthew Anderson Racing Team. This team has been tearing up TCW as of late and are expected to make big waves. These two could be a surprise package, former teams from TCW has done well. Last year’s representatives even got to the final, can the Racing Team go one better? Odds: 1:11
Beyond the Night Skies (Ryan Moon and Cliff Star) [FPW] SNW has a good relationship with many different promotions, this year a team from former student Zeke’s promotion Future Pro Wrestling. Moon and Star have been performing well in FPW and will be looking to make an impact in SNW. Odds: 1:15 Clash of the Duos 2013 Videos
SNW has released four videos of teams competing in the Clash of the Duos talking about the event.
Safu and Riley Shamrock are standing in a locker room, the Duos titles behind them.
Shamrock: It’s been a tough ride, a long tough ride, to get where we are today. I’ve fought my teammates more than opponents but it’s worked out. Safu and I beat the hell outta each other but we’re both still standing, stronger than ever. Now we’re tag champs and we’ve got an either tougher task, even tougher than winning the belts themselves. 3 Nights, 4 Rounds that’s what we’ve gotta look forward to. We know that no champions that entered Clash of the Duos have left with the titles. But we’ve just won these titles. And if anyone wants these titles then they’re gonna have to take them from my cold dead hands. Right Safu? Safu: (grunts)
------
We see the outside of a trailer where we hear Drew Parkland shouting, the camera pans over to see Drew fighting with his son Duke in the dirt. Drew ties his son up in a Gogoplatter and Duke taps, the two separate.
Drew: C’mon boy, you gotta do better den dat to be ready for the tag tournament. Duke: But you just keep locking me up in that Goga... Gaga... Gogo or whatever the darn hell you call it. Drew: That my son, is a the Gogoplatter. Now let me show you the KFC. Duke: KFC? Why’s it called that. Drew: I named it after you son. Duke: Me? How? Drew: It’s where you were conceived son. Duke: Dad, really. Did you have to tell me that? Drew: Wha? C’mon now let’s get back to training. We need you in tip top shape. Duke: Then I can get back at (Daniel) Sinn for you Da’. Drew: You leave that rascal for me Duke. Now c’mon try and knock me down.
------
We see Mike Bockwinkel carrying two glasses of champagne, he stops and hands one to Cameron Stone who is relaxing on a sofa.
Bockwinkel: There’s one reason why we’re going to win Clash of the Duos. Stone: Is that our talent, skill, good looks? Bockwinkel: Class. Stone: Indeed, Class. Bock: That’s what separates us from the little people. Stone: We were born to wrestle. It’s in our blood, it’s our destiny. Bock: We are a step above the rest. Born to be better, born to succeed. Stone: To going all the way Bock: I’ll drink to that.
The two clink their glasses together then take a swig of their drinks.
------
The AirDevils of Tom Gerard and Travis Cantrell are at the gym. Cantell continues on the bench press as Gerard takes a drink of water then speaks into camera
Gerard: Let me tell you a story. Way way back, I was in a team called the American Airforce. My partner in that team was Ace Bennett. We were popular but not successful. Ace went onto become one of the best athletes SNW. So I brought in Carson Clark, the man they call ‘the fastest man alive’ he lived up to the billing and now as the AirDevils we were once again well loved. However, we suffered again due to a lack of success. Clark decided that he wanted to branch out like Ace before him but I persuaded him to stay for the Clash of the Duos 2011. Over those three nights we did the impossible, winning the belts then the tournament. We entered the underdogs and came out champions. It was the impossible dream, now it’s 2013 and we’re going to do it all again. Clark’s began his singles run, still as part of the AirDevils and I brought in the man to my left Travis Cantrell. Now we enter the Clash of the Duos as underdogs once more. And we plan to go all the way just like we did two years ago. The fans have always supported us and we’re going to need them to cheer louder than they ever has before. Your support will guide us to the finals, with your help we will walk out with titles on our shoulders and the trophy being lifted up in the air.

Clash of the Duos 2013 Night 1
1) CoD: Steven Kagemann and Jason Williams vs. Beyond the Night Skies [FPW]: The show started with the heel team of Kagemann and Jason taking on two competitors from FPW, Ryan Moon and Cliff Star. Moon and Star played faces and got the crowd going while Kagemann and Jason failed to deal with the energetic duo. Jason was caught by a kick from Star then caught by a Tornado DDT from Moon to pick up the win.
2) CoD: Mockingbird vs. Ace Bennett and Mike Hogan: Elliot Reid and Dean Caufield had a tough task here as they faced the two contenders to the World title. The match played up the uneasiness between Bennett and Hogan so gave the youngsters plenty of time. Hogan and Ace fought right back into it but then Ace walked out on his partner leaving Elliot to hit the Ell-vation to advance.
3) CoD: AirDevils vs. Jack Joseph and A.J Matthews: Gerard was teaming with a new partner for their first Clash of the Duos. He and Cantrell are always fan favourites but were up against two others also well liked by the crowd. Jack and AJ did tease a break-up a few times reminding the fans of their former feud but nothing came of it. The AirDevils sealed the win as the AirDevils hit the Bombs Away to seal the win.
4) CoD: Parkland’s vs. Matthew Anderson Racing Team [TCW]: Drew was teaming for the first time with his son, Duke in SNW while Bryant and Craig were making their SNW debuts. The TCW team played up their heel roles well while the Parkland’s were loved. The Parkland’s did some comedy but the Racing Team cut them off and took control, stopping Duke from tagging in his son. Duke got the tag and dad came flying in. However, the momentum soon stopped when Bryant hit a low blow. Kevin then finished Drew off with the Big Boot.
5) Women’s Championship Tournament: Alicia Bennett vs. Keeley Matthews [TCW]: There was a break in the Clash of the Duos action here in the last match in the first round. Ace’s sister took on Matthews from TCW. Matthews is a lot like Wasp who is in the next round, hard hitting MMA-esq. The match was very one-sided and pretty quick. Keeley dominated, throwing round Bennett with ease finishing off Ace’s sister with the Triangle Choke.
5) CoD: Kevin Hart and Cody Rejero vs. Diamond Fortune: This match marked the return of Diamond and Fortune and they had a tough task as they were up against the World Champ and FUSE Champ. Cody and Kevin had great chemistry and worked well against Alex and Drake. Alex and Drake were treated like faces but not cheered as much as their opponents. A great section of the match was when Cody hit the rolling firemans carry and Hart was waiting on the top rope hitting the 450 Splash, Fortune kicked out then Cody hit a moonsault for another close count. The end came as Diamond hit the sunset flip on Cody but couldn’t bring him down, Fortune then came flying in hitting a Blockbuster which allowed Diamond to seal the win.
Intermission. No great shocks so far but some big matches coming up which means there will be some big eliminations.
6) CoD: Knife Fight vs. STL Connection: Big match to welcome the fans back from the break, the former champions, Pagano and Curtis took on the former Adrenaline team of Static and Jackal. The newly-named Knife-Fight looked much better than they have in recent shows, they took instant control, keeping Curtis from making the tag. Jackal looked an absolute beast in this match, neither member of STL could control him. The hot tag was made to Pagano and he fought both men off, hitting the Calling on Static for a close count. The STL set up for the 450 but Jackal shoved Curtis off the top tope to the outside then hit a Spear on Pagano to knock out the former champions.
7) CoD: Mike Bockwinkel and Cameron Stone vs. Red Assassins: The rivalry continued into Clash of the Duos but either Red Dragon or Bockwinkel would be eliminated in the first round. Assassin still haven’t forgiven Bock for blasting him in the head with a chair when he dived to the outside many shows ago, so he was quite brutal on Bock, especially with the chops to the chest. Stone seemed to make the difference here, he was strong and powerful to deal with the Red Assasins and caused them all kinds of problems. Of course Bock still managed to cheat, blasting Assasin with the ring bell then pleading innocence to the referee when he heard the sound. Stone soon finished off Dragon with the Cam Slam.
8) DUOS: CoD: Revolution X vs. Fire and the Fury: The title was on the line for the main event as champions Safu and Riley Shamrock made their first defence of the title against former champions Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury. The Fire and the Fury went straight on the offensive before the bell and focused the attack on Safu. Arsenic and Fury continued the beat down like rabid dogs. It was interesting to see Safu playing the man in peril as he is usually the man on the outside. Riley built up the crowd well while Fire and the Fury used some illegal tags. The hot tag was made and Riley roared the crowd into action by taking full control. He hit the Irish Welcoming but it was broken up. Safu then came back into it which allowed Riley to lock in the Ode to Shamrock. However, this was then broken up and the Fire and the Fury attempted the assisted Piledriver on Safu but Riley stopped it. Riley brought Arsenic into the middle of the ring and hit the HE Driver, he got to his feet but turned around into a lariat, from his own partner! Safu just stood there, over his partner. Fury slowly crawled in, he didn’t know what to think, but he pinned Riley then got out of the ring with his tag partner now the new Duos Champions!
Fury and Arsenic were handed the belts on the outside of the ring and made their exit, they didn’t know what was going on but they won the titles and wern’t going to complain about being handed the belts. The fans, who were pro-Riley and boo’ed Safu, who stood motionless in the ring, standing over Riley. Chris Hammers came running out and pulled Safu to one corner as Riley struggled to his feet. Hammers then turned round and hit a lariat on Riley! Hammers then instructed Safu to pick up Riley, Safu did and hit a Torture Rack, then a Samoan Drop. Hammers’ joined in hitting a Liger Bomb and then a Last Minute Orders. Hammers then put his arm around Safu as they stood over Riley, their former RevX member.

Clash of the Duos 2013 Night 2
1) CoD: Knife Fight vs. Mockingbird: The second night of SNW’s yearly tag tournament pitted two teams who have been rivals in recent months. The youngsters Reid and Caufield scored shock wins over Kagemann’s group before Static and Jackal avenged their previous losses then broke away from Kagemann renaming themselves Knife Fight. The match started with Knife Fight being the aggressor, beating down the younger Mockingbird. Dean and Elliot got the crowd on their side well and fought back into the match after a hot tag and stereo dives to the outside. Reid continued with the momentum hitting the Ell-vation on Static but as he landed the double foot stomp Jackal killed him with a Spear to seal the win.
2) Safu vs. Evan Pagano: Chris Hammers walked out with Safu and they got big heat for turning on Riley Shamrock at the last event. It was announced previous to this match that Riley is missing this event due to injury caused by the attack. Hammers stayed on the outside acting like a manager, shouting at fans and occasionally getting involved in the match. Pagano worked well off the bigger Safu and nearly stole the win a few times, including a SicKick which was only broken up when Hammers put Safu’s leg on the rope. The Samoan roared back into the match, hitting a big splash in the corner and following it up with a Samoan Drop to get the win.
3) Daniel Sinn, Bret Thomas and Dave Demento vs. Parkland’s and Jack Joseph: A good six-man tag which focused on the rivalry between Sinn and the Parkland’s. Duke, Drew’s son was picked on due to his inexperience but other stories developed from this match: Joseph and Thomas had some good speed v size offence while Demento, despite being as inexperienced as Duke, looked very good. Demento’s charisma stands out most about the young man, but his in ring ability also looks good. Joseph hit a dive to take out both Thomas and Demento but Sinn kicked Drew in the head then finished off his son with the Original Sinn.
4) CoD: Mike Bockwinkel and Cameron Stone vs. Matthew Anderson Racing Team [TCW]: The Clash of the Duos Quarter-Finals continued as the experienced Bockwinkel and Stone took on Chase Bryant and Kevin Craig of TCW. Both teams were heels and took the strange step of trying to out-heel each other, and it worked. The fans enjoyed seeing plenty of heel tactics like low blows, eye pokes and back rakes. The match worked because it didn’t go on too long. Red Dragon stood at the entrance which allowed Craig to hit the big boot to advance to tomorrow.
5) FUSE: Cody Rejero vs. Jet Jaguar: After being eliminated last night, Cody now had to defend his belt against young masked warrior, Jet Jaguar. Jag has shown a lot of promised this year despite only being 18. He had a great match with Cody bringing out the best of the FUSE Champion. Fans got behind Jag a bit as he showed off his talent but Cody cut him off with a Pepsi Cutter while Jag’s legs were draped over the top rope to retain.
Intermission. Fans are told at the break that tonight’s main event will have two partners who were knocked out last night facing against each other, as Mike Hogan takes on Ace Bennett.
6) CoD: AirDevils vs. Diamond Fortune: Who would join Knife Fight and Matthew Anderson’s Racing Team in the Semi-Finals? Back when they were in SNW, Alex Diamond and Drake Fortune faced the AirDevils several times but it is unlikely they faced the AirDevil team of Gerard and Cantrell. Diamond Fortune went back to their origins by going heel, probably best since the AirDevils are always very over. The heels struggled to deal with the AiDevils pace at first but then they grounded them which allowed them to take control. However, soon The AirDevils got their highflying going and the former SNW athletes were left behind. The Bombs Away sealed the win for the AirDevils and got them through to the final 4.
7) Women’s Tournament Semi-Final: Amy Lee vs. Beast Kong: This was the first semi-final bout and the fans were interested to see how this one went as Amy is the woman SNW looks to build the division around while Kong has been built up like an unstoppable monster. The winner goes through to the final at the Anniversary show. When the match started Amy did everything she could to try and take Kong off her feet but nothing worked, Kong even shrugged off a diving cross body like Amy was a fly. Kong then gave out the damage and did real damage to Amy, who was playing face (despite the rest of her stable playing heel). Kong went to finish off Amy in a one-sided match with the Sit-down Powerbomb only for Amy to slip out of it. Amy then got some offence in by elbowing the bigger female before hitting a running dropkick which sent Kong to the floor via the middle ropes. Amy then hit a suicide dive to the outside. The countout began and both females went to get back in but Amy kicked Kong in the face just as the count was coming to an end, which left Kong counted out on the outside. Causing Amy to win the match by countout.
Amy celebrated in the ring, the fans weren’t too happy but Kong got back in the ring, shrugged off Amy’s offence and hit the Sitdown Powerbomb. Kong went for another but was cut off by “Castle of Glass” by Linkin Park as Wasp ran out to scare Kong away for a second time in their meetings. However, someone in a hoody jumped from the crowd and took Wasp out locking in the Triangle Choke. It was TCW’s Keeley Matthews, Wasp’s opponent in the Semi-Final who will face her tomorrow night to earn a spot in the final.
8) DUOS: CoD: Fire and the Fury. Beyond the Night Skies [FPW]: This was the last bout of the Semi-Finals of the Clash of the Duos but also the Duos titles were on the line. The fans took the side of FPW’s Moon and Star, which is odd since their outsiders but the fans weren’t going to cheer for the heel champions. The bout consisted mainly of Arsenic and Fury trying to stop Beyond the Night Skies tagging. At first they separate Moon from making the tag then when he tagged out they focused on Starr. FPW’s team had plenty of chances to win the belt but on many occasions they were just a second away. However, Starr and Moon looked beaten men as the match closed out as the champion’s tactics seemed to work, they eliminated FPW’s representatives with an Assisted Piledriver.
9) Ace Bennett vs. Mike Hogan: Big main event for Clash of the Duos Night 2, it’s not usual to close out the night with non-tournament action but with these two at each other’s throats it was fitting. These two were even partners yesterday but their teaming ultimately fell apart. Winning this bout would put the athlete in pole position to challenge for the belt so these two were going to go all out. Bennett was hated and Hogan got the pop of the night in his entrance. These two last squared off one-on-one in the finals of the Be the Best were Hogan came out on top and this one worked very much the same. However, the difference was that they were on even footing unlike the last time they met where Hogan was worn out from a match earlier in the card. Fans loved the fast paced action in this one and at times worried it would go to a time-limit draw. Bennett’s brainbuster on the apron dealt a lot of damage but he missed the following dive which sent him shoulder first into the barrier. Both men took advantage, with Ace working over Hogan’s neck and Hogan focusing on Ace’s arm. As the match hit the 20 minute mark we started seeing the big moves busted out: the Curb Stomp, Shinning Wizard and Springboard Elbow but none of them got the finish. Hogan put Ace up top for the top rope Futurism that earned him the win the last time these two met, but Ace caught Hogan with a few elbows before hitting the Syracuse Bound, which is the Syracuse Drop and Lock. Hogan was weak and was forced to tap.

Clash of the Duos 2013 Night 3
1) CoD: AirDevils vs. Knife Fight: Great bout to kick off the final night of Clash of the Duos 2013. The ever popular AirDevils were hoping for a repeat of their 2011 shocker when they won the belts. But they had tough opposition in Static and Jackal who have been great since they broke from Kagemann. The match was very even, with all four men getting plenty of time to show what they can do. Cantrell dived off the top and was caught by a Spear from Jackal, fans thought that was it but the match went on. Later, Static broke up a pin count following the AirDevils Bombs Away. Static went onto hit the Brainbuster but that was also broken up. When the match didn’t seem like it could end, the AirDevils pulled out their old finisher the Sky High to advance to the finals.
2) DUOS: CoD: Fire and the Fury vs. Matthew Anderson Racing Team [TCW]: Like the Racing Team’s last match this was an all heel affair and like Arsenic and Fury’s last match they faced an outside team, this time representing TCW. Fans weren’t into this match too much but got more interested as the match went on. Bryant and Craig are great workers and just like the last match there were plenty of false finishes: The Fury Strike, Arsenic Driver and Kevin’s Big Boot were all used but didn’t finish it. TCW’s team was eventually knocked out following an Assisted Piledriver.
3) Carson Clark vs. Dave Demento: Clark has been doing fantastic as a singles competitor recently while Demento is just starting out on his SNW career. Clark was loved by the fans, his fast offence always gets the fans going. Demento works a good heel and may be something in the future. He attempted a shoot kick but Clark bounced up and hit a bouncing Swan Dive DDT to seal the win. After the match Clark motioned for a title around his waist.
4) Red Dragon, Drew Parkland and Duke Parkland vs. Mike Bockwinkel, Cameron Stone and Daniel Sinn: Big rivals six-man tag as two feuds come face to face. Of course, as you would expect the rivals were kept apart: Dragon/Bock and Drew/Sinn. As usual in these type of matches, young Duke is used as the sacrificial lamb, to build up to the big hot tag. Duke made a two handed hot tag to both his Dad and Dragon who came in and cleaned house. However, after shoving Drew into Duke Bock was able to pin Duke with the Championship Edition of the Bockwinkel Special.
5) Women’s Tournament Semi-Final: Wasp vs. Keeley Matthews [TCW]: This was the last match before the final at the Anniversary Show, whoever wins this faces Amy Lee for the chance to be SNW first Women’s champ. Fans were expecting big things from this one and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Quality wise, it was probably second only to the opener. These two went brawling from the first minute, lots of stiff shots and hard suplexes. Fans ate up when these two squared up to each other and unloaded bombs on each other. Keeley locked in the Triangle Choke but Wasp got her leg on the rope. Then out of nowhere Wasp caught Keeley in a Buckle Bomb then followed it up with the Shinning Wizard to get the win.
After the match the fans applauded both competitors, if they have a longer match down the line this could be one of SNW’s top 25 and even the best women’s match we’ve seen in America for a very long time. SNW also hinted at it as Wasp offered a handshake to the TCW representative but it was rejected.
6) Ace Bennett vs. Evan Pagano vs. Mike Hogan vs. Cody Rejero vs. Jack Joseph vs. A.J Matthews: Six-man mayhem here as some of SNW’s top athletes faced off in a absolute cluster of a bout. The action was a little all over the place and the booking itself was rather random but with five faces and SNW’s top heel (Ace) the fans were always going to like it. It’s likely that this match was thrown together for these guys to do something on the third night. As you’d expect there was plenty of falls broken up and teaming, but the match ended in a finisher flurry. Cody hitting the Pepsi Driver on Hogan, AJ with the Eastern Execution on Cody, The Calling from Pagano on AJ, a Pele from Joseph on Pagano who then climbed the ropes but was caught by a Syracuse Drop by Ace. Ace thought he had won it but the count was broken up by Hogan who hit a Curb Stomp to seal the win.
Intermission. All the faces from the last match stayed out and took photos with the fans in the front row. Ace spent the entire time in the ring arguing with the referee then pouting. As intermission ended Ace attacked Hogan but before he could do any real damage the rest of the faces pulled him away. Hogan then got up and attacked Ace. More staff and wrestlers had to come out to separate these two.
7) Revolution X vs. Mockingbird: So we had tag team action after the break but it wasn’t a Clash of the Duos bout. Hammers and Safu represented RevX and they faced the youngsters, Elliot Reid and Dean Caufield. The match was very one sided as the two men who first came together on the very first FUSE show took full advantage. The two were hitting their finishers the Samoan Drop and the Last Minute Orders when Riley Shamrock ran out with a chair and attacked both men. It caused a DQ win for RevX and they quickly got out of the ring as Riley stood tall with a chair in the ring.
8) SNW: Kevin Hart vs. Steven Kagemann: “SNW’s Resident Mad-man” got this shot at the title after pinning the champ in a tag match a few shows back. As we have said all year, Kagemann has had a great year, even getting to the final four of Be the Best. Kagemann came flying out of the blocks catching Hart by surprise and beating him down. Hart fought back into the match taking Kagemann apart systematically. But Kagemann got back into the match by throwing Hart through the middle rope, however, he missed the following dive to the outside. Hart then followed up with his own dive, a suicide dive. The two battled back on the apron where Hart hit a Tiger Bomb but by the time he got Kagemann back in the ring he had recovered. The match roared on with both men getting offence in, Hart missed a 450, Kagemann hit a double Stomp and even the DeathDrive for a close count. The end came as Hart got the knees up to Kagemann’s Fire Tornado and hit the Maple Leaf Revenge to retain.
9) DUOS: CoD: Fire and the Fury vs. AirDevils: The 2013 finals pitted last year’s winners, Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury, against the team who won the title the year before, Tom Gerard and Travis Cantrell (with a substitution of Cantrell for Clark). The Fire and the Fury won the titles in the first night off Safu and Riley Shamrock, since then they have defended the titles twice against outsider teams; firstly Beyond the Night Skies of FPW then the Matthew Anderson Racing Team of TCW. Meanwhile, the AirDevils beat Joseph and AJ in the first round, then defeated former SNW athletes Diamond Fortune in the Quarter-Finals, before just triumphing over Knife Fight earlier tonight. The fans were very pro-AirDevils and as the match wore on they got louder and louder, expecting to see a title change. Arsenic and Fury frustrated the fans at first by breaking up the highflyers, even when the hot tag was made, the champions were able to stay in control. The fans hated this but it made good heel heat for the champions. Eventually the AirDevils took control busting out some big moves including stereo dives which were a Springboard SSP from Cantrell and a Diving Senton from Gerard. From there the AirDevils looked like they had the match won with the Bombs Away on Arsenic but it was broken up by Fury. The Fire and the Fury then went for the Assisted Piledriver but Cantrell fought out of it. The AirDevils then attempted the Sky High which got the crowd on their feet but the champions countered again after a low blow which led to the Assisted Piledriver and a win for the Fire and the Fury.
Loud boo’s rang throughout the arena as The Fire and the Fury were handed their belts and then the Clash of the Duos 2013 trophy. Fans legit disliked this, not just because the fan favourites lost but because the Fire and the Fury won the tournament last year. Lots of fans left at this point but those who stayed behind till after the champions left saw Carson Clark, the leader of the AirDevils come out. He got on the mic and thanked the crowd for coming out, he asked the crowd to cheer his tag partners and promised they’d all have titles around their waists soon.

Extreme Rising vs. SNW
1) Mockingbird and Hijo De Rey Misterio vs. Knife Fight and Papadon: The show kicked off with a match straight away. It is the only match on the card that doesn’t have Extreme Rising stars versus SNW athletes. Lots of highflying from the face team as you would expect but then Jackal, Static and ‘The Greek God’ fought back into it, picking Caufield to gang up on. Eventually the highfylers got back into it but Misterio took the fall after a roll-up from Papadon.
‘Bulls on Parade’ played and Bret Thomas made his way out to the ring. Thomas took the mic and said tonight SNW will prove they are the ‘superior’ athletes. While the Extreme Rising stars belong in a ‘retirement home’. Rhino then ran out and the Extreme Rising fans chanted ‘GORE, GORE, GORE’.
2) Bret Thomas vs. Rhino: Completely different match as this was just an absolute brawl, the two tore into each other and fought all around the arena. The fans eat up the action and a chair shot in the audience gave ‘the war machine’ the advantage. The two fought back in the ring where eventually Rhino went for the Gore but Thomas smashed him with a chair. Thomas then went to hit the Fall but Rhino slipped out of it and hit the Gore to get the win.
3) AirDevils vs. Super Crazy and Pesadilla: The match style changed up again as the superfast AirDevils took on the luchas of Extreme Rising. The AirDevils won the ex-ECW fans over with their fast pace and there were plenty of cool spots thrown into this short match. SNW went 1-1 after a Bombs Away from Gerard and Cantrell.
Mike Bockwinkel walked to the ring with Cameron Stone by his side, the Philly fans knew what was coming so they boo’ed him loudly. He said that every few months a new ECW reunion show is started up. He said the likes of Mike Awesome and Eddie Guerrero are spinning in their graves. This got big heat but Bock continued, saying that the likes of Mike and Eddie are the lucky ones because they didn’t have to sell themselves out constantly. This brought out Balls Mahoney swinging a chair.
4) Mike Bockwinkel vs. Balls Mahoney: This wasn’t much of a match but more of an angle. Balls hit Bock with a chair a few times in the ring, then as Stone came in the ring, Balls hit Stone with the chair. However, Bock was then able to take advantage. Bock used some old school wrestling to keep Balls at bay, shouting ‘This is what real wrestling looks like folks’ when he had Balls in a Camel Clutch. Balls fought back into it with the crowd chanting his name. He was able to smash Bock with the chair again and hit his trademark punches but distraction from Stone led to the Bockwinkel Special.
After the match Bockwinkel and Stone beat Balls down to nuclear heat. Stone hit the Cam Slam but then the crowd began to cheer and the camera zoomed into the crowd where The Sandman was making his way out. Sandman entered the ring with cane in hand and smashed both Bock and Stone with the weapon. The SNW two were quick to retreat while Balls and Sandman celebrated.
5) Mike Hogan vs. Luke Hawx vs. Jack Joseph: Nice little three-way leading into the break. The two SNW stars didn’t team up on Hawx so it was an even contest. Lots of highflying, Hogan was the real star here, he played a cocky heel but the fans loved him. Joseph hit a big dive to the outside which got the fans really going. Hogan hit the Futurism on Jack and looked to get the win but Hawx caught Hogan with a running kick and he pinned Jack to tie up the series at 2-2.
Intermission. Stevie Richards was out at the break signing photos, he hyped up his match with Ace Bennett.
6) Matt Hardy and Devon Storm vs. Revolution X: Big tag match, that could have main evented if it needed to. Hardy is Extreme Rising’s big star while RevX has been at the nucleus of SNW ever since it started. The action split in two with Hammers battling Hardy and Storm facing off with Safu. The latter battled in the crowd for a bit while Hammers and Hardy had some good action in the ring. Both teams came out with valets, Hardy brought out Reby Sky and RevX had Amy Lee, this led to a catfight on the outside. A table and ladder was brought into play which led to some decent spots. Hardy looked like he was going to put Safu though a table with a leg drop from the ladder but Safu moved and Hammers hit a suplex off the ladder. In the end Storm and Hammers battled on the ladder, Hardy dove onto Safu on the outside which allowed Storm to send Hammers off the ladder and through the table to get the win.
7) Ace Bennett vs. Stevie Richards: The hardcore action gave way for some technical action. Although Richards can’t go like he used to Bennett brought the match to a respectable standard. Bennett wore down the veteran and had the crowd hating him. He even went for the Syracuse Drop early but Stevie held on. Stevie battled back but Ace was quickly back in it with a Busaiku Knee. Bennett locked in the Syracuse Lock but Richards got to the ropes. In the end Bennett was too cocky for his own good as Richards caught Ace off guard with the Stevie Kick which kept Ace down for the 3-count tying the series up at 3-3.
8) DUOS: Fire and the Fury vs. Bestia 666 and Damien 666: The newly crowned champions had a tough challenge here against Extreme Rising’s father and son duo. The match worked a lot like the match back at Viva La Lucha where Bockwinkel and Jacobs had when they were Duos champions against Damien and his long time partner in Mexico’s Most Wanted. Lots of brawling, lots of weapons including chairs, tables and ladders. Some decent spots Bestia looks pretty decent and took the extreme spots. However, Arsenic was busted open after being hit by a ladder. Fire and the Fury seemed a little reluctant at first to go hardcore but they’ve done it before and certainly didn’t look strangers when they took up the weapons. Arsenic and Bestia were both sent though tables, Fury were even put through a ladder. In the end, the Assisted Piledriver on Bestia onto a set up chair gave the champs their forth title defence.
9) Steven Kagemann vs. Sabu: Big chant for Sabu as he came in, Kagemann is SNW’s top hardcore/deathmatch worker so there was so surprise so see him here. The match was never going to be a classic but just seeing Sabu hit some big spots and take some damage was enough. Kagemann more than made up for Sabu, he heeled it up big time for the Extreme Rising fans and got big heat when he was beating down Sabu. Spots in the match included Kagemann going into thumbtacks, Sabu missing a diving legdrop sending himself though a table and Sabu hitting a springboard DDT to a table perched on the barricade and ring apron. Of course Sabu did blow some spots but they were mainly minor, Kagemann tried for a DeathDrive but got smacked by a chair. They did a good sequence where Sabu threw a chair at Kagmann who caught it and threw it back at him, then Sabu back to Kagemann, then back to Sabu before Sabu just levelled him with it. However, in the end Kagemann went up top with a chair in his hand and hit a chair assisted Fire Tornado to seal the win. Giving SNW the win over Extreme Rising 5-3.

The New Challengers“Shoot the Runner” by Kasabian played and fan favourite Mike Hogan made his way out the ring. Hogan made a few jokes about Ace Bennett. Even mentioning that when he first started in SNW Ace was part of a team called the American Airforce. ‘A team so American that one half of the team was British!’ This caused Ace Bennett to walk out and the fans greeted him with boo’s. Bennett said that Hogan is just a ‘little boy’ at heart, hiding behind his immaturity. The two squared up to one another before SNW World Champion, Kevin Hart made his entrance. Hart had a letter in his hand which he said was a judgement from the SNW committee. It said that Ace Bennett was a challenger because he beat Mike Hogan one-on-one at Clash of the Duos. However, Hogan was also a challenger because when they met in a three-way at Riot Act VI he wasn’t pinned, plus he got the tag win over Ace on night 3 of Clash of the Duos. As a result Hart will defend his title against both Ace and Hogan. However, since this match has already taken place, there will be an added stipulation. To win the title you do not need to pin your opponent, neither do you need to submit your opponent or knock out your opponent. All you have to do is grab the belt, which will be suspended above the ring. Hart will defend his title against both Ace Bennett and Mike Hogan in a Ladder match. As he finished reading, Ace ran at both men but then threw him over the top rope. 1) DUOS: Fire and the Fury vs. Gareth Ashdown and Duke Parkland: Simple jobbing match, we’re not expecting much in terms of match quality tonight because this show will mainly be used to build up to the Anniversary Show (that’s why tickets were so cheap tonight.) The challengers barley got any offence in. The Fury Strike got the champions defence number 5. 2) Dave Demento vs. Jacob Ryler: Demento has been receiving praise recently for his performances, what stands out is his natural charisma. It’s not uncommon to see him backchat someone in the audience while tying someone up in a hold. Ryler usually puts over young talents and he was expected to do the same here but Demento missed the shoot kick and fell to the Scottish man’s Higher We Go. 3) Mockingbird vs. Jack Joseph and A.J Matthews: The young team of Reid and Caufield continued to impress here as they took on a team of former rivals. Elliot and Dean are, as we have said before, like a young AirDevils, it will be interesting to see how they develop. Despite some good action from their opponents the team of Mockingbird got a big win hitting the Springboard Dropkick/Sunset Flip combo. 4) Nick Jacobs vs. Bret Thomas: It’s great to see Nick back in action after so long out but I struggle to see how he’ll fit back into SNW. Before he left he was a former FUSE Champion pushing to the main event but SNW has changed since so much since he last left. Jacobs isn’t really a natural face but the fans liked him. Thomas used his size and strength to take the advantage but Jacobs slowly broke down the bigger man before hitting a Jacobs Drop to seal the win. After both men had left ‘Prisoner of Society’ hit and the FUSE Champion, Cody Rejero made his way down to the ring. Two staff members came out with him and handed party hats and cans of Pepsi to the front row audience. Cody got on the mic and welcomed everyone to his 241th day anniversary of winning the FUSE title. He brought two audience members into the ring and talked to them then said he’s got three special guests for his party. The first guest was Petey the Pirate, Petey brought out some modelling balloons, making a snake for Cody and a shape which Petey called a Parrot for himself. Cody then brought out his next guest, his old tag partner Baz Hepburn! Baz and Cody did their secret handshake and Cody encouraged Baz to do a ‘New Age Outlaw’s intro but replaced ‘Suck It’ with ‘Your Mom’ (which was the name of their team). Cody welcomed out the last guest but said he didn’t know who it was. Carson Clark walked out and got a mic, he said he’s all for a party but he wants the FUSE title, so soon it’s going to be party over. Clark then threw Pepsi over Cody, who got annoyed not because he threw it over him but because he spilt some Pepsi. The two started shoving each other before Baz and Petey separated them. 5) Knife Fight vs. Cody Rejero and El Hijo de Angel Custodio: Static and Jackal are looking much better since splitting from Adrenaline and forming Knife Fight. Cody and El Hijo worked a good silly face team and tried to add some comedy into the match but were constantly cut off by Knife Fight. Cody took himself and Zakk out with a Pepsi Cutter from the apron. This allowed El Hijo to springboard in and Jackal hit the Spear while El Hijo was in midair to get the win. Special video messages played from Red Dragon and Mike Bockwinkel. They both agreed that their feud in SNW must come to an end and what better event to end it than at SNW’s Five year Anniversary Show. They should face off one-on-one and that should be the end of it. 6) Wasp and Amy Lee vs. Beast Kong and Red Fire: At the Anniversary Show, Wasp and Amy Lee will face off to become the first ever Women’s Championship but tonight they team up as partners. They would make a good team but they were facing the seemingly unstoppable Beast Kong. Neither woman could take down Kong, her tag partner Red Fire added to the unstoppableness. However after a double clothesline they took Kong from the ring. Wasp was able to spear Kong through the barricade while Amy got the win on Fire with the Downward Spiral. Intermission. Kong and Amy stood in the ring but now they weren’t partners and very soon they would be enemies. The main event was announced, it’s a six-man tag with Bennett captaining one side and Hart and Hogan on the other. 7) AirDevils vs. Rory Wiseman and DJ Hughes: Quick bout to welcome the fans back from intermission. As always the AirDevils are ever popular and were quick to put the youngsters away with the Bombs Away. 8) Carson Clark vs. Jason Williams: The AirDevils continued here as the captain took on the highflying daredevil Jason. Cody Rejero made his own seat in the crowd and gave out some cans of Pepsi to the audience. Jason looked pretty good here looking like he might get back to his old self but Clark was even better, catching Jason in the Swann Dive DDT for the win. After the match Clark motioned for the title around his waist. 9) Chris Hammers and Safu vs. Riley Shamrock and Evan Pagano: Great tag match here which built on RevX turning on Riley a few shows ago. Riley’s back now and looks really motivated to take apart RevX, tonight he was teaming with Pagano who doesn’t need an excuse to fight RevX since he’s always facing them. Lots of good action in this one, Pagano works great with both Hammers and Safu, Safu especially. Riley looked great every time he stepped in the ring and the fans love him too. He’s going to be one of SNW’s top guys in the future but SNW seem to be taking him slow. Riley hit a shoot kick on the apron to Safu then Hammers bundled him off the apron and hit the Last Minute Orders on Pagano in the ring to seal the win. After the match, Riley got back in the ring and tackled Hammers to the floor. Safu got in the ring and beat down both Riley and Pagano. Hammers and Safu stood tall over Riley. ‘Master of Puppets’ played and Jack Powers made his way out to a mixed reaction. Powers said that he is on the last stage of his recovery from injury, he said he made his return at Magnificent 10 too early. But will return at the Anniversary Show and will be 100% fit. Powers then said he was sorry for the United Front and wants forgiveness. He said that the SNW Committee have announced a special eight-man tag for the Anniversary show. It will contain eight of the active Original 16 members of FUSE/SNW: Evan Pagano, Jack Powers, Jacob Ryler and Nick Jacobs vs. Steven Kagemann, Bret Thomas, Matt Spade and Safu. Big pop for this announcement and it’s ‘bout to be a show stealer. 10) Ace Bennett, Daniel Sinn and Steven Kagemann vs. Kevin Hart, Mike Hogan and Drew Parkland: Six-man tag which pitted two of the current feuds in SNW: Bennett, Hogan and Hart, Parkland versus Sinn. Kagemann was the odd one out in this match but as he has shown all year he can slot into any main event. Bennett and Sinn look like a good team, both playing the cocky youngster role well. Hart and Hogan didn’t know whether to trust each other put the experience of Parkland held them together. Parkland was the man beaten down until he made the hot tag. The end had the typical finisher flurry with Parkland hitting a Cactus clothesline on Sinn to the outside, Hart getting the knees up to Kagemann’s Fire Tornado then hitting a Maple Leaf Revenge, Bennett hitting a running Busaiku Knee but then he saw Hogan enter the ring. Knowing he was going to be on the end of a Futurism Ace decided he would leave and keep himself for the Anniversary Show. Hogan hit the Springboard Elbow on Kagemann to get the win for his team. Post match, Sinn and Parkland were still down on the outside. Hart and Hogan stood toe-to-toe in the ring, Hogan grabbed the belt from ringside and handed it to Hogan telling him to ‘keep it warm for me’. Hart turned to exit but Hogan span him round and hit him with the Futurism. Bennett just watched from the entrance. After those three had left, referees checked on Sinn and Parkland but when they both got up they brawled about for a bit before other wrestlers came out to separate them. Eventually, Sinn was separated up the entrance and Parkland was in the ring, he picked up a mic. Parkland: Ya know what Dan(iel Sinn), the Anniversary show is right round the corner and we need to end this. It seems like everyone else is Dan. Drag and Bock are, Ace, Hogan and Hart are, so maybe we should too. Ya know how Ace ‘n that are ‘aving a Ladder match, maybe we should ‘ave somethin’ like dat too. So what kinda match should we have Dan? We’ve been in a bunch load of matches over our time together but one stands out to me. There’s only been one match where I nearly died and that was when you and I were in a Dog Collar match. So whatcha say Dan, how’s about we tie a collar round your neck and I’ll treat you like the dirty dog you are.

News
There’s more news coming out about SNW’s show in the Alexandra Palace, ‘One Night in London’. The first batch of tickets sold out instantly and the second batch is now also sold out. A third batch will be available next before they go on sale normally. The company are hoping this show will smash their previous attendance records. SNW was hoping they would be able to get William Regal to host the show but it seems like WWE is blocking the deal. SNW has announced that the matienne show will be in a joint promotion with London based PROGRESS wrestling which focuses on promoting Strong Style wrestling in the UK. SNW has also announced the first British name to appear on the iPPV. Zack Sabre Jr will be wrestling at the event. Sabre has wrestled in SNW before and has had a great 2013 so far wrestling in Japan for Pro Wrestling NOAH.
SNW re-tweeted a message sent to them on Twitter about a bunch of fans in Scotland who complained about having to pay for the bus journey down to London. SNW then announced that they would be paying for a bus journey from Scotland to England. SNW also announced that they would do the same for other fans in other areas as long as there is a reasonable amount of people They said to contract them via Twitter, since then a group from South Wales has agreed a SNW paid bus journey. They also hinted that they are in talks for both a Scottish wrestler and a Welsh wrestler to appear on the matinee show.
Rumours are swirling that Evan Pagano is close to agreeing a contract with TNA Wrestling. Pagano has been with SNW since the beginning as a member of the Original 16. However, he only just won his first title in SNW even though he has been challenging for them for 5 years. Some fans are wondering if giving him the title, with a tag partner of his choice was a way of giving him one last hurrah before he left. It would not be out of the ordinary for Pagano to sign with TNA since he was one of the Original 16 he was trained by Austin Aries. Aries has always taken a liking to Pagano despite their early arguments (Aries made Evan wear a Clown costume as punishment on the first show), Aries even got Evan a spot on ROH’s international tour, so it is likely, if the deal goes through, that Aries played a big part in getting Pagano the contract. A deal wouldn’t mean the end of Pagano in SNW, but it would not allow him to compete on iPPV shows.
Onto some roster news now: Jason Williams is leaving for Japan after the Anniversary Show, alongside Dragon Gate events he usually works he will be joining Pro Wrestling NOAH. This will continue SNW’s good relationship with the company. Jordan Devine is working over there at the moment and is expected to return at the close of the year. SNW is hoping Jason’s move to NOAH will develop his wrestling skills as he is seen as a little bit one dimensional. LyNN has been out of action since last year but will be back after the Anniversary show. Jack Powers announced at SNW's most recent show that he will be back at the Anniversary show in an 8-man tag between half of the Original 16 members of FUSE/SNW.
SNW viewed Parkland first show as a success and have two future shows planned this year. They both have themes, One will be held on Halloween night and the other near Christmas time. Some expected Parkland to punish Dave Demento following the event, after he swore during his promo. But Parkland was pretty laid back about it, he did have a word with him but many feel that Parkland can relate to Demento as Parkland was once a mouthy youth too. Parkland now does a lot of the training with the younger members of the SNW roster. The decision to play Daniel Sinn face in the promotion, rather than heel as he is in SNW was made by both Parkland and Jacob Ryler (who plays a large role in both the running of SNW and Parkland's show). They felt that Sinn would be the promotions poster boy, and keeping him face also allows them to reform the Lady Killers down the line.

Obviously I've been away for a while, but I went back and read some past stuff and I love it. I'm amazed at how this is so consistently good and really has an awesome indy feel to it. Loved the Awards ceremony and my title run so far. The match at Riot Act was incredible. I will be following this once again and replying to shows more frequently.

NEXT SNW iPPV: FIVE (Anniversary Show) Live from the FUSE Arena only on Go Fight Live NEXT SHOW
SNW World Championship Three-Way Ladder Match Kevin Hart vs. Ace Bennett vs. Mike Hogan It all comes down to this. In one corner the reigning SNW World Champion, the other his former tag team partner and in the other the man who left the company after a backstage fight with the champion. Hart won the title one year ago at FOUR, which now makes him the longest reigning champion, of any championship of all time. However, this is going to be Hart’s toughest challenge yet, he’s faced and beaten Jack Powers, Henry Edwards and Chris Hammers. However, earlier this year when he faced Bennett one-on-one he had a referee bump to thank which allowed him to leave with the belt. Then when he faced the Be the Best winner, Mike Hogan he was taken to a time-limit. Again, Hart was lucky to walk away as champ after the 5 minutes overtime was broken up by Bennett. However, Hart does have the advantage, that when these three met in a three-way he walked away as champion clean. But this match is going to be so much different, there’s no pins, no submissions. Just the SNW World Title hanging above the ring and only one way to get it, who will walk out of FIVE as champion?
Dog-collar Match Daniel Sinn vs. Drew Parkland Formally the biggest tag team in SNW history now two men who are going to rip each other to shreds, it’s the former New Age Lady Killers, Daniel Sinn and Drew Parkland. They faced off at Riot Act VI where Daniel Sinn won thanks to some questionable tactics. Now the rules are thrown out of the window and all that remains are two dog collars attached by a thick metal chain. These two have history with the Dog Collar Match as the Lady Killers, where Parkland got hung by the chain and ended up in hospital. Who will come out on top in this final encounter?
Original 16- Six-Man Tag Evan Pagano, Jack Powers, Jacob Ryler and Nick Jacobs vs. Steven Kagemann, Bret Thomas, Matt Spade and Safu 5 years ago Austin Aries started up a wrestling promotion, he took on 16 young inexperienced trainees and over time they turned into wrestlers. 5 years on, these names are some of the biggest names in wrestling. At our 5th Anniversary show we celebrate the journey these men have taken by pitting 8 of the original 16 members who signed up to FUSE. All eight of these men are former champions of some description, including one former World Champion, two former FUSE champions and the one night reunion of the Fatality Squad who have been Duos Champions. Both teams will want to come out on top to prove they have had the best 5 years.
One Last Time Mike Bockwinkel vs. Red Dragon They’ve faced off everywhere: SCW, TCW and many many times in SNW. Now they face off for truly one last time. Last time these two had a ‘final’ match, Bock took Dragon’s mask. Since then Dragon has returned and with some help at Warfare, he was able to beat team Bock. Now they go toe-to-toe for the final time who will finish on top?
Riley Shamrock vs. Chris Hammers It’s the old tale of the master vs. the apprentice. When Chris Hammers’ long term rival Henry Edwards left SNW last year it seemed like Hammers' had lost his blood rival. But at Clash of the Duos, Hammers turned on the man who he recruited for RevX, Riley Shamrock. Riley now has a huge challenge facing him, he’s facing a former two time SNW World Champion but if anyone can overcome the odds it’s the “Young Gun” Riley Shamrock.
SNW Duos Championship Fire and the Fury vs. AirDevils vs. Knife Fight vs. Mockingbird The Fire and the Fury followed in the footsteps of the New Age Lady Killers in becoming the first team to win the Clash of the Duos tournament two years in a row. But that win, though unpopular, left them with no clear challenger. Gerard and Cantrell, Static and Jackal, Reid and Caufield all won tag matches at the last event and the SNW Committee decided that the right call was to follow the precedent set in the World title picture, to throw all of them into one big match. It’s going to be tough for Arsenic and Fury as they face three of the top teams around, all going in with momentum. With all the Duos title changes recently, will we see another at Five?
FUSE Championship Cody Rejero vs. Carson Clark Cody is enjoying a good run as champion, in his own words he is having the best year of his career. He celebrated by having a 241st day anniversary of winning the belt where he welcomed out guests, former tag partner, Baz Hepburn and fan favourite Petey the Pirate. However, the party stopped when AirDevil leader, Carson Clark came out and told Cody that he was going to take his belt. Clark has been on a roll all year, can the highflying leader of the AirDevils cap it off by winning the FUSE title?
Women’s Championship Wasp vs. Amy Lee It’s been months in the making, we started with 8 competitors now we have 2. They’ve faced the likes of the highflyer Red Fire, TCW’s Keeley Matthews and the destructive Beast Kong, now they face each other one-on-one with the winner becoming the first ever SNW Women’s Champion. Both have showed their worth by getting this far but only one can become the first ever Women’s Champion.
Jack Joseph and Kourtney Love vs. Jason Williams and Red Fire
A.J Matthews vs. Jet Jaguar vs. Dave Demento vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio
Pre-Show Bonus Gareth Ashdown and Duke Parkland vs. DJ Hughes and Rory Wiseman
