TEN (Anniversary Show) Live from FUSE Arena, only on SNW Player
The Biggest Match in SNW History SNW World Championship Riley Shamrock vs. Henry Edwards Bennett versus Edwards, Shamrock versus Hammers, Bockwinkel versus Dragon. Matches that define SNW. Now at SNW’s tenth anniversary SNW will add to their illustrious history. When SNW started ten years ago, Edwards was the man. He headlined shows and won the title a record three times. When Edwards left, it left a hole in SNW. A hole that was filled by Riley Shamrock. Shamrock has gone from “Young Gun” to “Gunslinger” and is the new face of SNW. But now Edwards have returned, can he compete with the man who replaced him? SNW has changed a lot since 2012, can Edwards still compete at the highest level.
The Fight for the Triple Crown SNW FUSE Championship Kevin Hart vs. Mike Bockwinkel Only an elite few can claim to be a Triple Crown Champion (held the World title, FUSE title and Duos title). Bock’s won the World title and the Duos titles but has yet to hold the FUSE title. Now Bock looks to complete his trophy case and put himself in the elite class of SNW. But Bock will have to defeat the second Triple Crown Champion. Can Bock complete his collection?
A New Generation SNW Duos Championships Revolution X (Jack Joseph and Safu) vs. AirDevils (Carson Clark and Travis Cantrell) Revolution X and the AirDevils are the two longest running stables in SNW, RevX even started on the very first show. Both teams have gone through many different changes and now they both have a facelift. Jack Joseph joined RevX last year and won the Duos titles for the first time in the lead up to the Anniversary Show. They defeated a new look AirDevils whose original member, Tom Gerard is currently injured. These two old stables clash with the title on the line but only one team can leave with the gold.
This Time it’s Personal SNW Women’s Championship Tygress Mask [WK] vs. Taliah Winters After winning the title at Riot Act, Wild Kingdom’s Tygress Mask has taken on all comers. One of those was Taliah Winters. But when they faced off, Winters got DQ’ed for excessive force. Now Tygress Mask gets a chance to respond. Will Tygress show her fighting spirit or will the RevX member win her first piece of gold.
Rivals Clash Chris Hammers vs. Evan Pagano It’s been brewing for months, now they will face off on the big stage. Both are members of the Original 16, the first trainees in SNW ten years ago, so it is fitting they face off ten years later. Hammers is a three time SNW World Champion while Pagano has been regarded as the best wrestler never to win the World title. But this is personal, titles and past won’t matter. It’ll be all about besting your opponent.
The Battle for ‘the Best in the World’ Ace Bennett vs. Jack Powers ‘The Best in the World’ has been a nickname given to many men in pro wrestling but over the last few years only one man can claim that moniker, Ace Bennett. He’s won multiple accolades and awards over the years and continues to perform at the highest of levels. Jack Powers is a man who has always been impressive but this past year he has stepped his game to another level. Powers wants to be known as the new Best in the World but Bennett isn’t going to let it go easily.
The Return of Devine Street Fight Jordan Devine vs. Mike Hogan Mike Hogan has had some harsh words for Jordan Devine who has been out of action for over a year. Hogan continued to berate Devine until Jord returned at the last show. This match is so heated that Devine has requested the match be changed to a street fight. Who will come out on top?
Tag Team Supremacy Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone vs. Knife Fight (Zakk Static and Cain Jackal) Two teams that are climbing the SNW tag team ladder are Cameron Stones team of son Joseph Stone and Lord Jamerson and also Knife Fight who have been on a roll since their comeback from injuries. This match will showcase two of the best teams in SNW but only one can win and out themselves in title contention.
A Look to the Future Jet Jaguar vs. Dave Demento At SNW’s Tenth Anniversary, the company will look back at a glorious decade. But SNW will also look ahead to the future. That’s exactly what this match is about. Two men who have bright futures in SWN have been at each other’s throats recently and will face-off on the big stage. Which athlete will get a massive momentum win and put themselves into the history books?

Countdown to TEN
1) Parkland Bros vs. Elliot Reid and Noah Lee: It seems like Axel and youngest Parkland Rex are finding their feet as a team, they are starting to look like a team who could be Duos champions in the long future. They picked up the win with the Southern Styling.
2) Jacob Ryler, El Hijo de Angel Custodio and El Alboroto vs. Cody Rejero, Matt Spade and Liam Hendrick: In this six-man tag, Alberto has been working in Synergy but has made a few appearances with El Hijo and Ryler on the big shows. He was the star of the match with his Mexican Strong Style offence which allowed El Hijo to get the win with the Spanish Fly.
3) Jason Williams vs. Viper ‘Lightning’ Tion vs. Dean Caufield: Although not much on paper, these threeewent all out in a quick and fast cruiserweight bout. There was too much action to write about but Jason got the win with a 630.
4) Kourtney Love vs. Gertrude Von Grimm: Grimm is another Synergy wrestler. She dominated against Love but Love had the fans behind her for the comeback. Love got the win with a flash roll up counter after being on Grimm's shoulders.
5) Steven Kagemann vs. Ken Slayer: Another surprising match which could have been on the main show. Kagemann must be the most underrated member of the SNW Roster and Slayer looks ready for a proper run in SNW. Slayer nearly scored with the small package but Kagemann deadlifted him into the DeathDrive.
6) Amy Lee vs. Red Fire: This was the return of the first Women’s Champ, she got a good ovation and played heel. Fire worked over Amy before she made a comeback and won with the Downward Spiral. Basic stuff but it worked.
7) Duke Parkland vs. Daniel Sinn: In match quality, they should have put Kagemann/Slayer on last but this was a worthy main event to the matinee show. Sinn is another underrated roster member but is perfect for rookies. Duke is really breaking out as a singles competitor and has history with Sinn who was his father’s tag partner. Parkland came out flying but Sinn used his experience to control. Parkland fought back but was cut off by a piledriver. The Orginal Sinn gave Parkland the loss.
TEN (Anniversary Show)
1) Street Fight: Jordan Devine vs. Mike Hogan: The show opened with Mike Hogan making his entrance but was attacked by Jordan Devine to begin the match. Both men were in street gear and brawled throughout the arena. Devine suplexed Hogan in the bleachers and Hogan did a dive off the stairs. Back in the ring they did a few spots with the chair before Amy distracted Hogan to allow Devine to get the win with the Devinity. It should be noted, despite playing heel, Hogan got a better reaction to the returning Devine.
We saw the main event competitors arrive in the arena. Riley arrived in a silver Audi while Edwards turned up a black Land Rover.
2) Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone vs. Knife Fight: The action was brought down a step as Zakk Static and Cain Jackal faced a real challenge. The heels used all the tricks in the book and even Cameron Stone proved a distraction before he was kicked out the arena by the referee. After that Jackal and Static took control and won with the Spear/Brainbuster combo.
Mike Bockwinkel was backstage, he had a book which had “History of SNW” written on it. He began to read from it a fairy-tale of a Prince who arrived as the spurned lover and became a two time World Champion. But the Prince's journey was not complete until he became a Triple Crown Champ. Bock said the end of the story has yet to be written but he knows the ending already, the Prince will defeat the wicked King of Harts to live happily forever after. The End.
3) WOM: Tygress Mask [WK] vs. Taliah Winters: The athlete from the Wild Kingdom could not wait to get her hands on the Revolution X member. Taliah turned the heel up to 11 by slowing down the bout and then taking control. Tygress fired up but missed the Discuss Elbow which led to the backslide, Taliah got her feet on the ropes for leverage and the referee didn’t see. Taliah wins her first title.
Dave Demento was backstage he mocked the likes of Henry Edwards, Chris Hammers and Jack Powers for being old men who don’t know when their fight is over. Demento said SNW is about new blood and he will prove that tonight by proving that he is the true future of SNW.
4) Jet Jaguar vs. Dave Demento: With so many singles matches on the show, the two youngsters had to put on a different bout to everything else. They put on a sprint of a match packing plenty in to just over ten minutes. These two have great chemistry and did great chains of wrestling ending with both men going down and the crowd giving them a standing ovation. JJ missed the Frogsplash and DD hit the F***tard. JJ kicked out much to the surprise of everyone but a second but the masked wonder down for good.
5) DUOS: Revolution X (Jack Joseph and Safu) vs. AirDevils: In the second title match of four, the new look AirDevils looked to recapture their belts. Carson Clark has stepped in for Travis Cantrell’s usual tag partner Tom Gerard who is injured. RevX dominated until the AirDevils made the hot tag. It was a spirited comeback and they looked like they would win back the titles with the Bombs Away but Joseph hit a Pele to Cantell on the top rope an then Safu caught a flying Clark from mid-air to hit a Samoan Drop to retain.
Chris Hammers was backstage congratulating Taliah Winters for winning the Women’s title. Hammers ran down Pagano talking about his own achievements and Pagano’s lack of success. Safu and Jack Joseph then entered triumphant from retaining the title. Hammers congratulated them and Jack Joseph told him to focus on his match. Hammers said he wanted everyone to stay in the back so he can do this alone.
6) Chris Hammers vs. Evan Pagano: Big noise from the crowd for this one, it’s unclear why but they were very vocal which Hammers played too which only made it better. The story was the RevX man wanted to turn it into a brawl while Pagano was happier with it as a technical match. Hammers pulled the steel barricade apart and put in inbetween the apron and another barricade. They teased using it as a spot and Hammers eventually did a huge Spinebuster off the apron. Back in the ring, Pagano was done. He took a Lariat but kicked out. Pagano avoided Hammers and hit the SicKick. Pagano went for the Calling on the first SNW World Champion, Hammers avoided it, hit another Lariat, kept hold of the wrist and hit a Last Minute Order for the win.
Intermission. There was a whole roll-call of SNW stars out at the break including former SNW stars like Petey the Pirate and Super Extreme. They wandered about the arena to meet fans. Red Dragon then entered the ring at the end to thank the fans for a decade of support.
7) Ace Bennett vs. Jack Powers: Ace got pyro for his entrance but this match was all about the wrestling. Ace has been called for years the best wrestler in the world today and it’s evidenced by his numerous awards meanwhile Powers has named as the best technician on the planet with many drawing comparisons to Bryan Danielson. But over the past 6 months, Powers has added an aggression to his game which makes his matches un-missable. Powers did it again here straight from the bell but the first ever Triple Crown Champion had it scouted and kept moving to counter Powers’ grappling. Even when Ace went in tight, he is skilled enough to keep up with Powers. There were long grapple sequences in this one but then one of the two would just strike the other to break it up. As the match reached a conclusion, Powers was attempting numerous submissions but then hit the Power Suplex. Ace kicked out and Powers transitioned into a Russian Armbar. Ace rolled through into the Syracuse Lock. They traded submissions over and over before another Syracuse Lock was locked in and Powers was forced to tap before Bennett pulled a joint out of place.
Riley Shamrock was backstage sparring when he was interrupted for an interview. He said he’s not going to say much because he wants to do his talking in the ring. He said that Edwards helped build this company into what it is but left. Shamrock said that whilst Edwards was away, he took up his mantle of defender of SNW. Riley said it was ironic that he is now defending SNW against the man who built it. Shamrock noted he's not the boy that Edwards faced many years ago, he's the "Gunslinger". Shamrock ended stating he has a lot of respect for Edwards but tonight it’s not about respect, it’s about proving that he is the face of SNW.
8) FUSE: Kevin Hart vs. Mike Bockwinkel: Both men got big entrances. Hart had stacks of huge cards on the stage and emerged from the K of Hearts. Bockwinkel had a two bodyguards and a series of female dancers in suits. As the bell rung, Bock showed his intentions to slow the pace by exiting to the outside, however, on his second attempt, Hart caught him with a suicide Dive. When back in the ring the pace was turned up which is very unlike a Bockwinkel match but is likely due to its placing between two longer slower paced matches. They quickly got into trading finishers and even swapping finishers as Bock applied the Sharpshooter on Hart for mega heat. Hart came back stealing a Bockwinkel Special and following it up with a 450 for a near fall. The two then fought to the top where Bock hit a superplex but he then charged at Hart who hit a superkick. Hart then hit the Maple Leaf Revenge for a close count. Hart followed it straight up with the Calgary Special to put Bock down for the count.
A video package played of Henry Edwards’ first run in SNW, his title reigns, his heel turn and him leaving SNW leaving the gap as the face of the company. The video then changed to show home video footage of a young boy playing with wrestling figures, this was a 5 year old Riley Shamrock. There were comments from his friends and family about his love for wrestling as the videos and photos showed his upbringing of being a third generation wrestler. His father commented that he never wanted Riley to become a wrestler but Riley has wanted to be a wrestler as long as he can remember. The video then showed Riley’s time in SNW leading to his second title reign. The video progressed into Edwards’ return and hyped this up as a match between the two faces of SNW.
9) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Henry Edwards: We got big entrances for both men. Edwards had a band playing “The Trooper” whilst Shamrock entrance started with smoke and then people dressed as Greek Gods emerged on podiums. Riley then made his entrance and commentary mentioned it was symbolic of Riley being “blessed by the Gods”. During the title introductions and the beginning of the match there were loud duelling chants which both men acknowledged. They did some technical wrestling to start with neither man getting the obvious advantage so Edwards turned to striking to turn the tides but Riley met him with strikes just as hard. A particular open handed slap to the face of Edwards was met by Riley roaring “F**king c'mon”. Edwards laughed as the fans chanted “You got bitch slapped” but Edwards put back on his game face and immediately replied with stiff strikes, narrowly missing a head kick which looked like it could have ended the match. Riley dodged and Edwards motioned that he was close. Edwards went again to his striking game but one of his punches was caught and transitioned into an armbar. Edwards got the ropes and went to the outside, Riley went to follow with a dive but the challenger stopped it dead with a kick and followed it up with a suplex on the apron. The two brawled around ringside with the referee not administrating any count due to the importance of this match. Edwards sent the champ into the ringpost and then into the crowd. Henry F’N Edwards then got back in the ring and hit an insane springboard launching himself over the barricade and into the crowd. “Holy Sh**” chants all round for Edwards who is not someone who would usually go for such a high risk move. Back in the ring Edwards went for the finish with the HE Driver only for it to be countered but Edwards found a piledriver for the close count. “The Gunslinger’s” reign was in danger as Edwards worked away on the champion. The two went up top but Riley fought back and hit the Famine Driver for a close count. Edwards tried to counter with a crossface but Riley rolled out and hit the Irish Welcoming II for another close call. Riley went for the Irish Welcoming but Edwards reversed and teased a HE Driver instead hitting a Fatal Impact and then a HE Driver. But Riley kicked out. Edwards immediately latched onto a Crossface and the fans thought they had a new champion but Riley got the ropes. Edwards called for the end, hitting a trio of German Suplexs and then going for another HE Driver. Riley reversed into a school boy and hit a head kick on the kickout. Riley hit the Irish Welcoming and everyone thought Riley had retained, but Edwards kicked out. Both men stayed down as the fans chanted “this is awesome” then “fight forever”. They got to their knees and traded shots and then slowly to their feet and continued to trade shots. Riley ended the exchange with the Mui Tai Knees but Edwards sweeped the legs and locked in a sharpshooter then transitioned into a Crossface. The champ didn’t let Edwards lock the hands and rolled through to pull himself up in the corner. Edwards went for the Fatal Impact but Riley struck him with a kick while he was mid handspring. Riley lifted him and hit the Irish Welcoming again then locked in the Ode to Shamrock it wasn’t locked in properly and Edwards rolled backwards for a close call then tried for the Crossface. Edwards tried with some elbows to wear down Riley it began to work but this was at the expense of grip and Riley slipped out and locked in the Ode to Shamrock. The two were stuck in the middle of the ring with Edwards grimacing through the pain. Riley brought out the elbows to the side of the head and when he returned to the hold, Edwards had no option but to tap out.
Standing ovation post-match as “Knights of Cydonia” played for the champion. Riley then turned to Edwards in the corner and helped him to his feet and the two hugged. They shared words before Riley bowed to Edwards but Edwards then raised Riley’s arm and told him to celebrate whilst he left clapping the champion. It’s only right that Riley draws level for record World title Defences with Edwards and Bennett after this win. A true passing of the torch moment.

SNW News- Hogan leaves SNW, Jason to Mexico, TEN continues SNW Success
The big news coming off of SNW’s tenth Anniversary show is that former SNW World Champion, Mike Hogan has left SNW effective immediately. The former SNW World Champion nicknamed “The Joker in the Pack” was removed from the SNW website this morning and confirmed his exit via Twitter. Hogan has reportedly left the company after being upset with his booking. Hogan had previously left the company due to booking and an argument with Kevin Hart but returned to become World Champion. Hogan will most likely make a full comment on his reasons for leaving in the near future.
Jason Williams has also left SNW but only on a temporary basis, he leaves to join CMLL on a talent exclusion. The former FUSE Champion has previously worked with the company before and had a talent exclusion in Japan but most recently Jason has suffered from booking. A break from SNW may be what he needs.
TEN was hailed another great success for SNW. In terms of viewing figures, it currently sits second only to Riot Act X but with SNW growing audience figures are expected to be broken regularly. The ticket sales success means that SNW are looking at booking bigger arenas for 2019. Red Dragon has also indicated that other companies have reached out for cross promotional shows and talent but Dragon had quoted SNW’s “family” vibe as the reason for not taking up these offers and only working with companies they are close to like TCW, Cerebus Wrestling and Wild Kingdom. With SNW’s success there is no surprise that there are a lot of companies wanting to do business with them particularly because of their strong demographics of 18-35 year olds.

Issue 27 – Space Oddity
Youngster Xander Reeves missed the show due a small knee injury.
Synergy Champion, Duke Parkland opened the show by cutting a promo to open the show. He was interrupted by El Hijo de Angel Custodio who asked him for a title shot. Duke said he’s a fighting champion and accepted.
1) SYN: Duke Parkland vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio: With Jaguar and Demento gone, Parkland is now the face of the promotion and it’s a big test for the 23 year old but he’s taken it on well so far and put away the spirited El Hijo with the KFC.
2) Taliah Winters and Gertrude Von Grimm vs. Penelope Periwinkle and Zelda Williams: This match saw the debut of two new women. Periwinkle has a princess gimmick while Zelda is a gamer particularly the game that shares her first name. They were just there to take the offence and they fell to DVD’s from Grimm.
3) Liam Hendrick vs. Michael Stone: Stone has been one of the stand out performers so far on the roster especially considering he is so young he cannot legally wrestle in some States. Hendrick was a real challenge for him and stole the win after reversing a Figure Four and forcing Stone to tap. Stone humbly offered a handshake but got bitch slapped by his opponent.
4) Kourtney Love vs. Tickles the Clown: Tickles came out in big clown shoes and there was some comedy as she tried to figure out how to wrestle in them. She soon changed footwear and the match began. Love is a real talent and dragged Tickles through the match winning with the Lovesault.
5) Elliot Reid and Noah Lee vs. Tatu and Kazumi Tsukuda: Lee and Reid are a regular team and are victims of such a strong SNW tag division. In comparison, Tatu and Kazumi were teaming for the first time but looked comfortable together despite their different styles. Lee won with the Flood on Kazumi.
6) Dean Caufield vs. El Alboroto: Pretty one sided, Caufield just keeps on losing while Alboroto is so different to the rest of the roster he is getting over quickly. El Alborto won with the Pumphandle neckbreaker.
After the match, El Alboroto went for another Piledriver but was cut off by the returning Cody Rejero. Alboroto thought about fighting then walked away, flipping the bird at the Pepsi King as he left.
Intermission.
7) Ken Slayer vs. Viper ‘Lightning’ Tion: This was a battle between two on form guys. Slayer brought the best out of Tion who forgot all about imitating Jushin Liger and focused on being an aggressive and slightly deranged heel. Slayer made the comeback and hit the Sling Blade counter to a springboard.
Post match, Slayer got on the mic and challenged Duke Parkland to a title bout for the Christmas show. Duke showed up and joked about ruining Slayer’s Xmas and accepted.
8) Best of Three – Match 3: Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone vs. Parkland Bros (Axel and Rex Parkland): Both teams have won a match a piece and the winners would win the series. The four have developed a good chemistry and this was their best match of the three. Jamerson continues to shine but the Parkland’s are growing with every match. Jamerson won with the Chaos theory.
Adding the theme of the rest of the show, setting up matches for the Christmas show, after the match Jamerson and Stone beat down the Parklands until daddy Parkland and Daniel Sinn ran them off. Drew got on the mic and said that at Christmas the New Age Lady Killers will re-unite to take on Jamerson and Stone.

Alt:Pro Presents RendezvousWith SNW hosting a show later tonight, Alt:Pro put on an unofficial matinee show at a venue down the down. With the show much shorter than usual to allow fans to leave to go watch SNW. Junior Champion, Dane Warron has grown from future star to potential full star. He’s the star of the promotion and in a few years could be talked about along the lines of Ace Bennett and Kevin Hart if he keeps this up. He opened the show to get the crowd hot by defeating ‘Speedy’. Fresh off of winning a series of matches with Ron Crockett, Swindell faced off against one half of the bookers of Alt:Pro. Arsenic was not having it all his own way and had to cheat to win. In the match of the night, a fun six-man tag happened between six of the most exciting young stars in Alt:Pro (excluding Warron). Made in Detroit got the win but only after Knight impressed with a springboard 630. Assassin defeated Everson in a match we’ve seen twice already this year and didn’t need to see again. At least it progressed the story as Johnny Arsenic attacked Assassin post match and left him laying for the first time in Alt:Pro. In the most repeated match in Alt:Pro Vincent Fury retained over AJ Matthews. There was no interference, Fury won clean with the Fury Strike. A good match but nothing we haven’t seen before.
QUICK RESULTS: 1) JNR: Dane Warron def. Pablo 'Speedy' Gonzalez 2) Johnny Arsenic def. Jake Swindell 3) Made in Detroit (Tobias Black and Nate Ryan) and Winston Knight def. The Fabulous Taylor Boys (Robin and Ozzy Taylor) and Will Manor 4) Twisted Assassin def. Patrick R. Everson 5) WORLD: Vincent Fury def. A.J Matthews

Clash of the Duos 2018Night 1- Liverpool1) CoD: Knife Fight (Zakk Static and Cain Jackal) vs. Elliot Reid and Noah Lee: These two teams have faced off many times before and this wasn’t the best match to go first. It was a good match but never kicked into high gear. Knife Fight advanced with the Spear/Brainbuster combo 2) CoD: Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone vs. Jacob Ryler and El Hijo de Angel Custodio: The action picked up in the second match. Ryler and El Hijo can put in a great performance when they want to and they did here. Stone and Jamerson played excellent heels and won when Stone hit the Moonsault. 3) CoD: DUOS: Revolution X (Jack Joseph and Safu) vs. Xander Reeves and Kazumi Tsukuda [SYN]: This was meant to be a squash with the Champions rolling over the rookies from developmental but Reeves and Kazumi did not go down easily. They took plenty of punishment and even scored a few near falls. However, the champions retained with the Samoan Drop/Pele kick combo. 4) Jordan Devine vs. Steven Kagemann: A break in the non-tournament action which was a good back and forth match. Both men have been with SNW since either the beginning or very soon after but have never held the World title. Both men deserve a run but it’s a matter of stepping up to the plate. Devine took that step closer with the Devinity, 5) CoD: Parkland Bros (Axel and Rex Parkland) vs. The Unholy Alliance- ZMaster and Reverend Shadow [CW]: This was probably the worst match on the show. The Unhold Alliance worked on Rex for far too long which tired out the fans. They didn’t care for the hot tag and as a result, they did not care for the Parklands win. 5) Taliah Winters and Red Fire vs. Tygress Mask [WK] and Kourtney Love: The new Women’s champ faced off against the former champ and darkhorse contender for the title. The match set up potential feuds for both faces. Tygress got the win with the Discuss Lariat on Fire, she then pointed to the title and motioned that she would invoke her rematch tomorrow. 7) CoD: Mike Bockwinkel and Dave Demento vs. Duke Parkland and Ken Slayer: This match succeeded where the previous match failed. The heels, Bock and Demento worked down Parkland but kept the fans entertained the whole time. Slayer came in strong and is looking like a breakout star. He nearly pinned Bock with a Sling Blade but Demento broke it up and hit the F***tard to allow Bock to get the pin. 8) CoD: AirDevils (Carson Clark and Travis Cantrell) vs. Big Cat Manor (Panther & Leo) [WK]: No hot tags, no long bear downs, this was just action from bell-to-bell. Fast paced, lucha style action. Clark and Cantrell don’t usually tag together but with Gerard out injured, they make a good pairing. They eliminated the team from Wild Kingdom with the Bombs Away. Intermission. Jordan Devine and the injured Tom Gerard was out at the break. 9) CoD: Ace Bennett and Jet Jaguar vs. Kevin Hart and Evan Pagano: This had a big time match feel, Bennett and Hart who are both rivals and former tag partners started then Pagano tagged in and Jag showed that he has what it takes to be one of the best in SNW by going toe-to-toe with Pagano. Fast action throughout, as you would expect with some excellent exchanges. Finisher barrage to finish, Hart hit the Maple Leaf Revenge on Ace, Jaguar hit the TTM on Hart, Pagano went for the Calling on JJ but the masked warrior reversed it in into roll-up for the win. 10) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Dark Dragon [WK]: For the first time, a challenger from the Wild Kingdom attempted to gain the SNW World title. Dragon was too dominant to start until Shamrock caught Dragon with a rolling senton off the apron. Back in the ring, Riley focused on the arm which neutralised Dragon enough for Riley to retain with the Ode to Shamrock submission. The win also makes Riley’s reign the most successful in SNW World title history. 11) CoD: Henry Edwards and Jack Powers vs. Coast to Coast (Donnie East and Chris West) [TCW]: This was billed as two of the best from SNW teaming up to face the most successful team in TCW history (and former SNW Duos Champions). Powers and Edwards are real life best friends and run a company together so have excellent chemistry despite being face and heel. There were so many close calls, Edwards and Powers both hit their finishers but they were broken up and the Red Eye Flight was reversed into a Doomsday Device Knee. It wasn’t enough and the tag experience of East and West prevailed when they successfully hit the Red Eye Flight to advance.

Riley Shamrock becomes most successful World ChampRiley Shamrock made defence number 13 of his SNW World title reign, in doing so he becomes the most successful SNW World Champion in history. The defence comes after Riley Shamrock defended his title against Henry Edwards in a "passing of the torch" moment at the tenth anniversary show. Riley's record beats the previous record which was jointly held by Henry Edwards and Ace Bennett. Riley has another two defences lined up. One against Cerberus wrestling's Dante Randall and if he makes it past Randall, Riley will face Chris Hammers, the man who Riley has never defeated. Riley's rise to the pinnacle of SNW started when the third generation wrestler joined the Third Class of SNW alongside the likes of Jet Jaguar, Travis Cantrell, El Hijo de Angel Custodio and Knife Fight. Riley and Jaguar competed over who was the best student but when they were called up, Riley quickly became the star. He was noticed by Revolution X leader Chris Hammers and accepted an offer to join RevX. Once in RevX, Riley had to gain the trust of his team including new leader, Jordan Devine. Just as Riley gained his teams trust and won the Duos titles alongside Safu, he was booted out. Riley then put all his effort into causing RevX trouble before focusing on his singles career winning the FUSE title and then defeating Mike Bockwinkel to win his first World title. Riley became the first man to hold both the FUSE and World titles at the same time. Riley eventually lost the World title to his former mentor, Chris Hammers but bounced back by defeating Ace Bennett a year and a half ago to become a two time SNW World Champion. Since then Riley has defended the title against all comers and will look to continue his reign into 2019. Riley's reign may be the most successful World title reign but it's not he most successful in SNW history. That honour goes to Fatality Squad whose second reign as champions amassed a record 20 title defences. Mike Bockwinkel and Nick Jacobs' Duos reign as the Gentlemen's Club comes in a second with 16 title defences. Kevin Hart's first reign as FUSE Champion is the most successful FUSE reign with 12 defences meanwhile, Beast Kong is the most successful Women's Champion with 8 defence

Clash of the Duos 2018 Night 2 – Cardiff, Wales
SNW Co-Owner Red Dragon opened the show in his hometown. He announced that there would be four Battle for UK qualifiers tonight with a four way elimination final tomorrow in London. He was interrupted by his blood rival, Mike Bockwinkel and his partner for the CoD, Dave Demento. They mocked him and told him to get out of their ring.
1) CoD: Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone vs. Mike Bockwinkel and Dave Demento: A all heel match to start. It was good to see Jamerson face-off with Bock after he spoke so highly of how he helped him mature as a competitor. The rookies pulled off the upset with Stone hitting the moonsault, after Cam Stone distracted Bock. Bock was outraged post match but did shake hands with his competitors but DD walked out.
2) BfUK: Carson Clark vs. Jordan Devine vs. Daniel Sinn: This was the first Battle for UK Qualifiers, Sinn/Clark is always a great pairing but it was Devine who advanced with the Devinity on Sinn.
3) CoD: Ace Bennett and Jet Jaguar vs. Big Cat Manor (Panther & Leo) [WK]: Ace and Jag make such a good team, there is a kind of one upmanship going on between them which is an interesting dynamic. They had tough competition but advanced with the Syracuse Drop over the competitors from Wild Kingdom.
4) BfUK: El Hijo de Angel Custodio vs. Jack Powers vs. Ken Slayer: The story of this match was the former SNW Champion Powers taking on both El Hijo and Slayer. It wasn’t like they were teaming up, it’s just he dealt with one then had to contend with the other. Slayer is on the verge of a breakout but the result was only going one way, Powers hit the Power Suplex on El Hijo for the win.
5) BfUK: Evan Pagano vs. Duke Parkland vs. Cody Rejero: Another Battle for UK Qualifier, this was more even bout with Duke getting another chance as a singles competitor and impressing but it was Pagano who pinned him to advance with the Calling.
6) WOM: Taliah Winters vs. Tygress Mask [WK]: Taliah played a full cheating heel trying every trick to get out of facing the fierce Tygress Mask. She eventually got herself intentionally disqualified by using the title as a weapon. Winters is fastly becoming one of the best heels in SNW. After the match Winters continued the assault, Kourtney Love ran out for the save and challenged Winters to a title match tomorrow night.
7) CoD: Knife Fight (Zakk Static and Cain Jackal) vs. Coast to Coast (Donnie East and Chris West) [TCW]: Terrific match, Knife Fight are now back to how good they were before injuries whilst C2C are the best team not signed to SNW (possibly best in the world). Lots of good action, tag moves and near falls. The Red Eye Flight was broken up so East won with a Figure-Four after working over Zakk’s leg all match.
Intermission. SNW Co-Owner Red Dragon was out at the break in his hometown.
8) BfUK: Henry Edwards vs. Steven Kagemann vs. Jacob Ryler: They saved the best Battle for UK Qualifier till last. Although Kagemann and Ryler are more used to pre-shows than main events, they can still put on main event quality matches. It was believable that either man could win but predictably, Edwards won with the HE Driver on Ryler.
9) CoD: DUOS: Revolution X (Jack Joseph and Safu) vs. Parkland Bros (Axel and Rex Parkland): The match started with brawling which is not what you would expect. Safu then went on a tear destroying the young Parkand boys. This led to the hot tag to Rex who hit multiple dives to get the crowd on their feet. He nearly stole the titles with the KFC on Joseph but fell to the Samoan Drop/Pele combo. Joseph got in the mic post match and said there was no team that even comes close to them.
10) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Dante Randall [CW]: Challenging for the SNW World Championship was the first (and only) Cerberus Wrestling Champion. Although the company has been inactive for years Randall has been performing all over America and even some tours in Japan and showed his talent here. He went toe-to-toe with Riley in every department. Riley’s neck and back was taped up and Randall took advantage by focusing on this. Dante hit the Dante’s Peak Last Ride Powerbomb for a very close call. He went to follow it up with the Big Kahuna Diving Leg Drop but missed allowing Riley to lock in the Ode to Shamrock and just about retain by submission.
Riley took a while getting to his feet post-match and was holding his neck when he had his arm raised. Dante then attacked Riley from behind and left. Chris Hammers then ran in and attacked him from behind. Hammers’ stomped on Riley’s neck and hit him with a Wrist Clutch Lariat. Hammers took the title and said he would take the title from Riley again when they face off in London. Hammers said that Riley may have broken the most defences record but Riley has been running from him. Hammers said that despite the records and acclaim, Riley is still his protégé and Riley has never beaten him. Hammers hit another Lariat and Riley landed on his neck. Riley took a long time getting to the back,

Clash of the Duos 2018 Night 3- London, England
1) CoD: Ace Bennett and Jet Jaguar vs. Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone: Big match to start, Ace and Jag have been the star performers of the tournament despite not being a regular team. The heels did an excellent job of building the hot tag on Ace and even had Cam Stone at ringside. The hot tag was made and Jag took out all three men. This spurred Ace back to life and the two won with the Busaki Knee / Springboard Frog Splash combo.
2) CoD: DUOS: Revolution X (Jack Joseph and Safu) vs. Coast to Coast (Donnie East and Chris West) [TCW]: These two teams started brawling from the bell with West and Safu ending up in the crowd. The match continued to be wild with seemingly the tag rules thrown out the window. C2C hit an early Red Eye Flight on Joseph but Safu broke it up. Safu then took himself out after missing a big boy senton off the apron. Jack managed to survive countering a double superplex attempt with a double Pele and a Spanish Fly off the top on both men. Joseph made the tag to a recovered Safu who hit the Samoan Drop with an aided Pele from Joseph to advance to the finals.
3) Parkland Bros (Duke, Axel and Rex Parkland) vs. Dark Dragon and Big Cat Manor (Panther & Leo) [WK]: This was just a six-man tag filler. The action was thick and fast. Rex is still green but this covered him best and he took a big bump with a Doomsday Knee on the floor. Despite this his brother Duke got the win with the Dirty Thunder.
4) WOM: Taliah Winters vs. Kourtney Love: Winters attacked Love during her entrance living up to her cheating ways. Winters is just an excellent heel magnet. Love also has support as the sympathetic babyface which she plays so well. In the end the assault on the leg was too much and Love tapped to the Cloverleaf.
Winters celebrated post match then continued to stomp away on the knee of Love. Then Amy Lee showed up at the entrance and motioned she was coming for the title. Winters looked shocked at first, then laughed and said “what you want this? You ain’t getting it b****.”
5) 14-Man Tag Mayhem: AirDevils (Carson Clark and Travis Cantrell), Knife Fight (Zakk Static and Cain Jackal), Jacob Ryler and El Hijo de Angel Custodio and Ken Slayer vs. Elliot Reid, Noah Lee, Steven Kagemann, Daniel Sinn, Xander Reeves, Kazumi Tsukuda and Dean Caufield: A mad 14-man tag match, everybody got time in the ring but it was pretty frantic. Despite that it was pretty enjoyable. The AirDevils picked up the win for their team with the Bombs Away on Reeves.
6) FUSE: Kevin Hart vs. Mike Bockwinkel: In this rematch from TEN, Bock slowed the pace to begin with which only frustrated Hart. Bock kept going to submissions and Hart countered with strikes but the challenger would take back control. Hart then got Bock to the outside and followed up with a quick suicide dive. Hart then took control with springboard elbow (possible nod to old rival Mike Hogan in Hogan’s hometown), a superkick and brainbuster which all got near falls. Bock sneakily took off the turnbuckle pad and turned the tides with a low blow whilst the referee was kicking the pad to the floor. Bock continued to work over Hart’s arm. This caused the champion problems in mounting a comeback. He still managed to fight back and earn a near fall on the 450 Splash but could not follow up with a Maple Leaf Special. Bock locked in an arm bar and it looked his we would have a new champion, Hart got to the ropes but Bock pulled him back, Hart reversed into the Sharpshooter but couldn’t maintain it due the attack on the arm. Bock looked in full control but went head first into the exposed turnbuckle. Hart then hit a Superkick, the challenger dropped to his knees, Hart hit another four Superkicks which kept Bock down for the count.
Intermission. It was announced that Riley Shamrock has been cleared to compete and wants to go ahead with the planned title match against the man who attacked him last night.
7) BfUK: Jordan Devine vs. Henry Edwards vs. Evan Pagano vs. Jack Powers: This was the finals of the Battle for the UK in which the winner earns a World title shot at Be the Best next year, this was contested by four of SNW’s top stars so any of them could have walked away with the win. It’s rare for SNW to book a very good four-way but this was one of them. Action throughout with everyone looking strong. Devine took the win with the Devinity on Pagano.
8) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Chris Hammers: This was built up like a huge match. Riley’s been champion since Riot Act X, a year and a half ago. But Riley has never beaten his former mentor one-on-one, Hammers even ended Riley’s first World title reign. Add in that Riley has been through two tough matches this weekend and was attacked by Hammers last night, it didn’t look good for Riley. Riley was bandaged up and Hammers attacked straight from the bell pulling at Riley's athletic tape on his neck. Riley tried to slow the pace but fell as Hammers tore through the GunSlinger. Hammers hit the LMO within a minute and the fans thought there was a new champion but Riley just about the got shoulder up. Hammers continued the punishment on Riley’s neck/back area and it was one way traffic. Every time Riley mounted a comeback, Hammers was quick to cut him back down. Hammers hit the Lariat, Liger Bomb and LMO combo but Riley got an arm up. Hammers snapped and hit six- SIX Lariats. Riley did not get an arm up, Hammers wins the title!
There was shock all around, Hammers just destroyed Riley. The only comparison would be Brock Lesnar destroying John Cena at Summerslam a five years ago. Riley was injured but couldn’t put up a fight and his record title reign comes to an end at the hands at his former stablemate, mentor and rival. Fans were just in shock.
8) DUOS: Revolution X (Jack Joseph and Safu) vs. Ace Bennett and Jet Jaguar: After the finish of the last match these two teams had work to do to get the crowd back. Really the last match should have main evented any show, but this is Clash of the Duos so the finals of the tournament went on last. Luckily with Ace and Jet, you have two of the best wrestlers in the world so they worked hard and with RevX playing excellent heels, the fans soon got interested and worked up at the thought of Bennett and Jag winning the Duos titles. RevX worked down both men to make hot tags, an extended period led to Jag tagging out the Ace who came in on fire. The final stretch saw all the finishers come out, the Samoan Drop/Pele, TTM from Jaguar and even the Syracuse Drop was hit but was broken up by Pele. Jag hit the Springboard Frogsplash but Taliah Winters and Chris Hammers came out which distracted the referee. Ace and Jag fought on with Ace hitting the Busaki knee but Hammers pulled the referee out of the ring when he went to count the three. Jag then hit a dive to the floor to take out Hammers. The distraction led to Ace being hit with the Samoan Drop/Pele but Jaguar broke up the count! Jaguar battled on and went for the TTM on Joseph, Safu broke it up and hit a pop up Samoan Drop/Pele combo to win the tournament.
Chris Hammers and Taliah Winters joined in the celebrations. Safu and Joseph become only the second team ever to enter and leave as Duos Champions over the Clash of the Duos weekend. The four persons in the ring held their titles high to end the show, a reminder that now Revolution X hold four of the titles in SNW. They’re aim since the very beginning of SNW was to hold all the gold, this is the strongest positon they have ever been in as we enter 2019.

Alt:Pro Presents: Revelation
The show opened with the Fire and the Fury in the ring. Fury spoke about his title reign but was interrupted by “Shoot the Runner” by Kasabian signalling the arrival of Mike Hogan. The former SNW World Champion got a massive response from the crowd for his surprise debut. He mocked Fire and Fury before saying he’s here to do what he does best, ‘shake things up’. He goaded Fury into giving him a title shot tonight.
Jax Anderson then issued another open challenge which was met by youngster Will Manor who recently signed a contract with Alt:Pro following his impressive debut at the last show. He was dominated by Jax but still got a few moves in. AJ Matthews took time out from the main event and defeated CKJ, it’s what he needed as his main event run got stale. The Blaze Brothers took steps to re-challenging for the tag titles, they also showed a more heel approach with their win over the Taylor Boys.
Moses Khan also turned heel which suited him much better, he put away DJ with ease. Once rivals, now partners Swindell and Crockett formed an uneasy partnership but it worked and gave them the win. Winston Knight challenged for the Junior title which he earnt with his recent impressive proformances. He really stood out here, Warron was his usual fantastic self but he took a back seat to the highflying Knight. Warron still won with the DeathStrike but the two shook hands and agreed they would face off again.
The tag champions met their match in the form of Williams and Wiseman who seem to have formed an alliance with Russian Kuleshov. The team won after working over Ichiban for most of the match. After the match, Kris Havok showed up with a chair and attacked Kuleshov but got it pump kicked back in his face. The main event was the match of the night, Hogan appearing really brought the crowd to fever pitch and most importantly, it brings a new face to the company which was very stale in the main event. Fury’s tag partner, Johnny Arsenic was a constant annoyance on the outside until Twisted Assassin took him out allowing Hogan to hit the Futurism for a close count. Fury nearly retained with the Fury Strike but Hogan captured the title with the Back to the Future. Big moment and one of Alt:Pro's best. Is Hogan's arrival the spark that Alt:Pro needed? 1) Jak Anderson def. Will Manor 2) A.J Matthews def. Christopher Kennedy Jones 3) Blaze Brothers (Max and Lloyd Blaze) def. The Fabulous Taylor Boys (Robin and Ozzy Taylor) 4) Moses Khan def. DJ Hughes 5) Jake Swindell and Ron Crockett def. Antonio Benitez and Pablo 'Speedy' Gonzalez 6) JNR: Dane Warron def. Winston Knight 7) Arthur Williams, Rory Wiseman and Alexander Kuleshov def. Made in Detroit (Tobias Black and Nate Ryan) and Kyo Ichiban 8) WORLD: Mike Hogan def. Vincent Fury (NEW CHAMPION)

Issue 28 – Peace on Earth
1) Tatu vs. Dean Caufield vs. Viper ‘Lightning’ Tion: Quick three-way to open. Tion was the most impressive although Tatu hit some good power spots on both men. Tion won with a SSP.
2) Xander Reeves vs. Kazumi Tsukuda: These two 17 year olds debuted earlier this year and have been stuck in squash matches ever since. This was their first showing of what they can do. Although the match was short these two really impressed, it was clear that the match was well rehearsed but still enjoyable. Reeves won with a running Knee Strike. 3) Gertrude Von Grimm vs. Penelope Periwinkle: Basic squash, Grimm rolled over the 20 year old billed from “the Enchanted Forest". The DVD gave the dominant German the win.
4) Parkland Bros (Axel and Rex Parkland) vs. Elliot Reid and Noah Lee: Fun tag match which was given plenty of time. The crowd lost interest a bit in the middle but they were brought back for the last section. Lee and Reid play good cocky heels but it seems SNW doesn’t believe in them. This was shown by the Parkland’s surprising victory which they did with the Pin Pointer.
5) Kourtney Love vs. Tickles the Clown vs. Zelda Williams: This was more fun than it really should be. The action was fast and there was plenty of good spots including a sick tower of doom top rope rana. Tickles lost the colours and was more a dark creepy clown which got a better reaction. Love won with the Lovesault on Williams.
6) Michael Stone vs. Liam Hendrick: This was a rematch from Issue 27 where Hendrick outsmarted the talented youngster but slapped him post-match. Stone showed a fire in this one attacking from the bell. He didn’t do his usual technical moveset and the crowd were strongly behind him. Hendrick got the knees up to a moonsault but Stone still hit the Cam Slam to take the win.
Intermission. Petey the Pirate came out to hand out presents, he was interrupted at the end of intermission by El Alboroto who smashed a box over Petey’s head. Cody Rejero ran out for the save.
7) El Alboroto vs. Cody Rejero: In storyline terms, Rejero was the man who gave Alboroto his first defeat. Alboroto then attacked Cody and kept him out of Synergy. These two started with a crowd brawl before ending up in the ring to begin the match. This was excellent for Alboroto to learn from an experienced hand. Alborto nearly won with a piledriver on a Xmas present but Rejero hit the Pepsi Driver on the present to win.
8) New Age Lady Killers (Daniel Sinn and Drew Parkland) vs. Lord Jamerson and Joseph Stone: Despite having split years ago, the Lady Killers are still mega popular. They had to battle youth in the form of Jamerson and Stone. Daddy Parkland was beaten down for most the match. Cameron Stone even showed up to stop Parkland from making the tag. Two of Drew’s sons, Axel and Rex then showed up to dive on Cameron allowing Drew to get the hot tag. Sinn came in like a house on fire and they looked to win with the Pin Pointer but Jamerson countered and took out Drew with the Chaos Theory.
9) SYN: Duke Parkland vs. Ken Slayer: This is what Synergy is all about, young talent who don’t get the chance to shine in SNW. These two second generational wrestlers put on a great match that went 21 minutes. They brought a bit of everything from technical, brawling and high spots. A table was even brought into play and Slayer hit the Sling Blade off the apron through the table. Unluckily for Slayer by the time he got the champion in the ring, Parkland had recovered and kicked out. Slayer hit a second Sling Blade but the referee took a bump in the lead up to the move. Slayer was frustrated and checked on the referee, Parkland recovered and helped but Slayer then hit a low blow and a third Sling Blade. Slayer pinned Duke and the referee made the count. It’s a new Champion for Christmas. (Note, Slayer turned heel in Synergy but this does not affect his character in SNW).--------------------------------------------- Editor note: This is probably the last Synergy show I'm writing up. I got no desire to keep booking Synergy on top of SNW and Alt:Pro so I'm cutting it. It will still go on in continuity and I may reference it a bit but I'm not booking the shows anymore. Obviously I'll keep doing SNW and Alt:Pro but I'm also cutting down on the write up of SNW shows. Making it to 90 pages is incredible, I never thought I'd get this far when I started this in 2008. The only way to keep this going is to cut down on the write ups, so that's what I'll be doing. Sign up's are always open, check the first page and message me with your character if you want them included (male or female) that goes for people with multiple characters too. Cheers for reading, as ever, thanks for your support.

Alt:Pro Presents InsurgenceThe new Alt:Pro Heavyweight Champion, Mike Hogan opened the show, he cracked a few jokes before being interrupted by the Fire and the Fury. Fury moaned that Hogan won unfairly. Hogan was happy to give Fury a rematch tonight but Fury said he would challenge on his own terms. Arsenic then said he would challenge straight away. The match got to about 7 minutes then when Hogan went for the Futurism and Fury caused a DQ. Twisted Assassin then ran out followed by Patrick R Everson and AJ Matthews for a six person brawl. The faces got the advantage and Hogan said that they will have a six-man tag tonight. The former rivals turned partners of Swindell and Crockett continued their streak as a team by defeating the Taylor Boys which now makes them a threat to the titles. Jax Anderson issued another open challenge, this time met by Kyo Ichiban. Jax won and called out AJ Matthews to accept his challenge at the next show. The Blaze Brothers continued to show their heel tendencies by defeating Benitez and Gonzalez. Moses Khan then struggled but eventually defeated upstart Will Manor. Kris Havok must have a death wish because after weeks of getting destroyed by Alexander Kuleshov he challenged him to a No Rules match. The match went onto the crowd and Havok was punished badly. He never said die but eventually got put to rest with a chokebomb from the ring to the outside through a stack of two tables. Not content with causing pain to one man, Kuleshov then helped out his new buddies Williams and Wiseman when they got into trouble against the tag champions. Kuleshov caused the DQ and left the champions down as Williams and Wiseman posed with the belts. After a string of impressive showings, Winston Knight was offered a rematch for the Junior title. He put it all on the line again but came short to Warron and his fierce DeathStrike. In the main event the new Heavyweight Champion led his team to victory in six-man tag team action. Assassin and Arsenic battled to the back which allowed the Champ to hit an impressive Futurism on Everson to get the pin.
QUICK RESULTS: 1) WORLD: Mike Hogan def. Johnny Arsenic by DQ 2) Jake Swindell and Ron Crockett def. The Fabulous Taylor Boys (Robin and Ozzy Taylor) 3) Jak Anderson def. Kyo Ichiban 4) Blaze Brothers (Max and Lloyd Blaze) def. Antonio Benitez and Pablo 'Speedy' Gonzalez 5) Moses Khan def. Will Manor 6) No Rules: Alexandre Kuleshov def. Kris Havok 7) TAG: Made in Detroit (Tobias Black and Nate Ryan) def. Arthur Williams and Rory Wiseman by DQ 8) JNR: Dane Warron def. Winston Knight 9) Mike Hogan, A.J Matthews and Twisted Assassin def. Fire and the Fury (Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury) and Patrick R. Everson

NEWS- SNW Announces Riot Act XII Weekend
SNW announced that their biggest show of the year is about to get a whole lot bigger. Riot Act XII will be held in Las Vegas but will be the headline of a weekend full of wrestling events.
The wrestling weekend will kick off in the day on Friday with the return of Cerberus Wrestling for a special ‘one off’ show, The company previously known as Premier Wrestling, closed five years ago. SNW helped finance a deal to bring back the promotion under the Cerberus Wrestling name but no events ever took place. The company included big names such as Mike Bockwinkel, Red Dragon and Justin Tyger but also gave first starts to some of the top names on the indies such as Calvin Little Jr, Adam King and Dante Randall who was the first and only champion. Since SNW own the rights to Cerberus Wrestling, they will be hosting a special one off show which will give the promotion a proper send off.
On the Friday Night, SNW’s development brand, Synergy will host a show with the top young talents looking to make a name for themselves. Saturday will kick off with the friends from NBP as Wild Kingdom will host a special live event. The annual awards ceremony will conclude Saturday before Riot Act and its Pre-Show take place on Sunday. It’s being billed as SNW’s version of the WrestleMania weekend. But with Riot Act in July, there’s no direct competition, so this could draw very well. See the full schedule below:
Friday: AM- “One off" Cerberus Wrestling show / PM - Synergy event Saturday: AM- Wild Kingdom Live event / PM - Awards Ceremony Sunday: AM- SNW Pre-show / PM - Riot Act
Meanwhile, in other Japanese news. Former FUSE Champion Dave Demento has been announced for the touring roster for Pro Wrestling NOAH. He will spend the entirety of 2019 away from SNW on exclusion in Japan. Also, Jason Williams has returned from a short stint in Mexico.
Elliot Reid and Noah Lee have left SNW. Sources indicate they have been frustrated with their position in SNW. It is highly likely they will follow fellow Brit Mike Hogan to Alt:Pro.
There are new faces joining the Synergy roster. 17 year old Richard Shaw from Victoria, Canada joins the roster. Shaw has completed initial training with Cameron Stone alongside Cam’s sons Joseph and Michael, who are on the Synergy roster. Also joining Synergy is 18 year old CJ Alexa who will join the women’s roster.
Mike Bockwinkel has spoken on a podcast about the Antarctic show. He said it was Red Dragon’s crazy idea and he’s just been pulled along for the ride. He spoke of only taking a few roster members with them to Antarctica while the rest will put on a show in America. Bock said he’ll have the first match on the continent and it will be against old rival Red Dragon. He spoke of the planning of the event and praised Red Bull for their help and promotion which has given SNW a lot of press attention. Bock also indicated that he would be taking a break from the ring after the show but would still be involved both behind the scenes and in front of it just in a non-wrestling capacity whilst he rests up.

Racing Line
2019 kicked off in a big way for SNW, with six talents on a trip to become the first wrestlers to put on a show in Antarctica, SNW held another show back home. The show featured two teams from TCW. Coast to Coast returned as Knife Fight challenged them to a rematch after their loss at Clash of the Duos. Knife Fight evened the score at 1-1 and a handshake post-match indicated there would be a decider. In the main event another team from TCW, the Elite Racing Team challenged for the Duos titles.

One Night on the South Pole
Live streaming from SNW Player and the Red Bull website, SNW became the first wrestling promotion to put on a wrestling show in Antarctica. The trip was in conjunction with Red Bull who filmed the planning, travel and show for a documentary release. The matches were held in a small ring inside a bubble. The matches obviously lacked in quality as all six men had to travel there and set everything up themselves so they were probably very tired before stepping foot in the makeshift ring. Nevertheless, it was a truly unique event and all six men worked hard and put on a better show than you would probably expect.
1) Red Dragon defeated Mike Bockwinkel with the Red Dragon Driver which will go down as the first match ever held in Antarctica 2) Jack Powers defeated Kevin Hart with the Choke Out in a short submissions based match 3) SNW: Chris Hammers defeated Ace Bennett to retain with a Lariat.

Alt:Pro Presents Implosion
Alt:Pro World Champion Mike Hogan opened the show and cracked a few jokes at both SNW and the Fire and the Fury’s expense. Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury came out and said that there was two of them but only one of him. Hogan then introduced Elliot Reid and Noah Lee making their Alt:Pro debuts. The two teams faced off and when F&F went to leave Hogan sent them back in, leading to a Flood Spinebuster from Noah and a double Stomp from Reid to pick up the win. The big matches continued as the Junior and tag champs teamed up to face the international stable of Williams, Wiseman and Kuleshov. Williams and Wiseman picked up the win with a double team move on Warron. A bunch of youngsters picked up wins including singles victories for Manor and Knight before Alt:Pro kicked off the tournament to crown the first Intercontinental champion. Jax Anderson and CKJ advanced but Jax beat down Kyo after the match until AJ Matthews made the save. Swindell and Crockett became no.1 contenders to the tag titles with a win over the former two time champions before Mike Hogan retained the title after using speed and technique to overcome the larger Everson. Hogan evaded Everson sending him into the ring post and then hit the Time Warp to retain. QUICK RESULTS: 1) Elliot Reid and Noah Lee def. Fire and the Fury (Johnny Arsenic and Vincent Fury) 2) Arthur Williams, Rory Wiseman and Alexandre Kuleshov def. Dane Warron and Made in Detroit (Tobias Black and Nate Ryan) 3) Will Manor def. DJ Hughes 4) The Fabulous Taylor Boys (Robin and Ozzy Taylor) def. Antonio Benitez and Pablo 'Speedy' Gonzalez 5) Winston Knight def. Vincent Valintino 6) IC First Round: Jak Anderson def. Kyo Ichiban 7) IC First Round: Kris Havok def. Christopher Kennedy Jones 8) Jake Swindell and Ron Crockett def. Blaze Brothers (Max and Lloyd Blaze) – no 1 contenders 9) WORLD: Mike Hogan def. Patrick R. Everson
