Ace and Jack present: SWZ; Intensity!

‘The Good Life’ by Three Days Grace echoes throughout the arena as the crowd get to their feet for the debut edition of SWZ Assault! TJ Wyld and Mark Chen are calling the action for us tonight as they welcome us to the show.

Before the action gets underway we have our first draft pick of the evening. After a few seconds of flicking through different wrestlers it stops on two.

To Intensity: Zeke Walker
To Assault: AJ Mathews

The crowd let out a chorus of boos as two of the companies most despised are drafted to their respective brands.

AJ Mathews and Cody Rejero vs. X Jack and T-Mac
This was, effectively, Assault vs. Intensity here with all four guys now knowing where their future lies. T-Mac forced Rejero to tap out on Intensity which embarrassed the Canadian resulting in T-Mac becoming a victim of a post-match attack from Cody. AJ Mathews defeated X Jack in a fair match-up so Jack was looking to pick up a win to wipe the slate clean here tonight. Everyone in this match up brought a technical approach with Rejero and Jack also incorporating an aerial style. The match finish saw Rejero distract the referee by elbowing T-Mac in the jaw which opened a door for AJ Mathews to deliver a huge knee to the face of X Jack. X Jack stumbled back into Rejero for the Candian Destoryer, allowing the heels to pick up the victory.
Winners: AJ Mathews and Cody Rejero.

Cody Rejero and AJ Mathews quickly fled to the top of the the stage avoid any confrontation with a very pissed off T-Mac as the draft screen appeared with Intensity receiving Sam Kineval and Assault receiving Eddy Valintino.

To Intensity: Sam Kineval
To Assault: Eddy Valintino

<sub>We cut backstage where Chaz Classic has seemingly just arrived in his locker room as he’s wearing his suit and frequently checking his watch and shaking his head. A knock is heard at the door. Linda Sampson walks in.

Linda: Chaz, what’s your strategy going into your match with Ace Bennett later tonight?

Chaz: Think about what you just asked me Linda. Why, of all people would I tell you what my match strategy is. In fact, I don’t even have a match strategy because I don’t need one. Last time I checked I pinned Ace in the middle of the ring in our tag match last week and I will have no problem in repeating that feat so why don’t you take yourself round to Ace’s locker room and try to comfort him before I beat him to a pulp later tonight. Now scram.

Linda leaves, shaking her head in disgust as Chaz takes his jacket off and loosens his tie.</sub>

Luke Collins vs. Cain Jackal
The first of a few debut matches this evening saw Luke Collins take on Cain Jackal, the two had a fairly good back and forth match as Luke Collins demonstrated some Judo like manoeuvres. Jackal was hard to keep down though as the agile superstar formally known as Chris bounced around the ring. The Finish saw a Tornado DDT countered as Luke Collins set up for the Burning Hammer only for Jackal to grasp the arm and roll over into an Armbar which quickly forced Luke to submit.
Winner: Cain Jackal

Cain celebrated in the ring whilst anticipating the next draftees. It shockingly brings two wrestlers to each brand.

To Intensity: PJ and Scott Roberts
To Assault: Matt Daniels and Brian Shamrock

_{We cut backstage once more. This time to the Parking Lot, we see a white limousine driving in. The limousine pulls up and a man steps out. It’s Mike Bockwinkel! He’s not in action tonight so it’s a mystery to why he’s here. Bockwinkel walks through the double doors and into the backstage area. He turns a corner and we go back to the ring.}

Abdullah Faraj and Nick Danylson vs. Ryan Trance and Derek Gordon.
The second debut match tonight which sees two already drafted competitor’s face two non-drafted members of the roster. Abdullah Faraj’s controversial gimmick gets him over extremely well as a heel as a USA chant echoes around the arena when he’s in action. Ryan Trance and Faraj were most impressive here overall; they have strong wrestling ability and a pretty good amount of charisma. Nick Danylson and Derek Gordon are also great wrestlers but just lack some of that charisma which their partners possess. Towards the end of the match, Nick Danylson broke free to tag in Faraj. Abdullah ran in, immediately attempting his finisher only for Ryan Trance to roll him into a small package for the devious pinfall.
Winners: Ryan Trance and Derek Gordon.

Ryan Trance and Derek Gordon celebrate their win up the entrance ramp as Abdullah punches the turnbuckles and ropes screaming ‘that scrawny American cannot beat me!’ Faraj then turns his attention to Nick Danylson. Danylson was leaving the ring until Faraj assaulted his with punches and kicks to the sternum before ultimately planting Nick with the Prayer of Sin piledriver. The draft screen appears and it flicks through the superstars before showing the final result. Abdullah Faraj looks surprised but relatively fine with the outcome.

To Intensity: Dante Randall
To Assault: Abdullah Faraj

_{A video package is played. It promotes the upcoming SWZ Large Show at the end of the month. It expresses the fact that the World Championship will be on the line and rivalries will be settled. The event has been named Apocalypse.}

Mike Bockwinkel’s theme hit and he made his way down the ramp. However, Instead of getting into the ring he sat down at the announce table and informed us that he was going to help call the upcoming match.

Duan Sanchez Jr and Red Dragon vs. Kevin Hart and Zeke Walker
Much like the six-man tag last night this featured some of the men involved in the eight man SWZ World Championship Tournament however, after last night Red Dragon has been eliminated so odds are that the masked wrestler was looking for some revenge. All four men performed equally well in this match. A few years ago, when Zeke was just starting out you could’ve never seen him in a match of this calibre but his aggressive side came out and with that so did the talent. Mike Bockwinkel frequently insulted the wrestlers on commentary, the majority of time he was making fun of the face team and expressing his hatred for Duan Sanchez Jr. The finish here saw Duan take out Zeke on the outside with the SGM off the nearby guardrail allowing Red Dragon to freely nail a distracted Kevin Hart with the Red Dragon Driver for the three count.
Winners: Red Dragon and Duan Sanchez Jr.

Mike Bockwinkel stood up, applauding the victory very sarcastically. Bockwinkel’s eyes suddenly collided with Duan’s and the two had an intense staredown which was eventually broken by the sound of the draft randomizer. Suddenly Mike Bockwinkel appears on the red side and the crowd roar’s as he’s heading to Intensity! Then it reveals that Assault have obtained Connor O’Reily! The crowd pop even louder for these two huge draft picks and we still have six people yet to find out which brand they’re on!

To Intensity: Mike Bockwinkel
To Assault: Connor O’Reily

<sub>Cutting backstage now we see Ace Bennett infront of the interview set with Linda Sampson.

Linda: Hello everyone, hope your enjoying the show so far. My guest at this time is none other than one of tonight’s main eventer’s Ace Bennett. Ace, what do you have to say in response to the cocky and confident words of your opponent Chaz Classic earlier when he told us that he would ‘beat you to a pulp’ and that he ‘doesn’t need strategy’ when he faces you tonight?

Ace: Well, Linda, Chaz may not need a strategy against me tonight. He may just go in and beat me to a bloody pulp but one thing’s for sure that no matter how bloody I am after the match tonight, I’m going to walk out as a semi-finalist in this damn tournament.

Ace walks off, obviously with nothing else to say as Linda looks a little more satisfied than she was earlier.

Linda: Thanks’ for your time.</sub>

Derek Heights vs. Ron Caramel
Back to the ring now for some lower card talent action. Derek Heights needs to get some training soon as he’s not a great wrestler and botched one or two spots in this match. Ron Caramel is full of charisma with his ‘sweet’ gimmick and that gave him an advantage with momentum behind him. Caramel’s momentum allowed him to connect with a series of moves before Heights was met with Chocolate Rain for a three count.
Winner: Ron Caramel

To Intensity: Ron Caramel
To Assault: Nick Danylson

Ron Caramel decided to cement his victory after the match with another Chocolate Rain to the dismay of the fans in attendance after finding out that he was now a part of Intensity. Caramel waved Assault goodbye as Derek Heights slowly limped to the back.

Connor O’Reily comes down to the ring for his next match against SWZ’s newest signing Shawn Malakai. Malakai is out next to a mixed reaction as many people recognise him as The High Horror from PTW on the other hand some do not recognise him at all. Shawn has something to say.

Shawn Malakai: Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most talented, most intelligent and most handsome wrestler in this company, Shawn Malakai. Since I joined the company later than the rest, I won’t be part of the draft but the owners, decided that I was too good to turn down so they gave me an immediate roster spot on Assault. Connor O’Reily, I’ll have you know that if I would’ve signed with this promotion earlier I would’ve taken your undeserved spot in the World Heavyweight Title tournament and I’m gonna prove why right now!

Shawn drops the mic as the crowd’s mixed reaction converts into mainly heat for Malakai. Connor O’Reily just smirks and mouths ‘we’ll see about that’.

Connor O’Reily vs. Shawn Malakai
Malakai opened up this pretty impressive encounter with a couple shots to the face of O’Reily on the ring of the bell to begin what would become a very back and forth bout. Connor changed the direction of the match with a Spinning Heel Kick grounding his powerful opposition. From then on there were many close calls and two counts with both men’s finisher countered before the end of the battle. The closing moments saw Connor counter out of the Seventh Seal and deliver a quick ‘rana to Shawn. O’Reily then nailed a dropsault and went up top for the 450 he calls Bombs Away. However, Malakai anticipated this and avoided the flip causing Connor to hit the canvas face first. Shawn lifted O’Reily for a Powerbomb variation only for Connor to slip out and roll up Malakai to prevail.
Winner: Connor O’Reily

Connor O’Reily celebrated his hard-earned victory leaving Shawn Malakai to ponder where he went wrong as the loser of this match punch the turnbuckle to release some anger. Shawn tells O’Reily that it isn’t the last he’s seen of him as the two men individually head to the back.

_{Mark Chen and TJ Wyld promote the upcoming SWZ Championship Tournament First Round Main Event which will see Ace Bennett take on Chaz Classic in a Singles Match. It’s up next!}

Ace Bennett vs. Chaz Classic
Probably the match of the night to bring this show to its climax. Chaz opened up well, controlling the action until his arrogance got the best of him and Ace saw the opportunity to capitalize with a chop block to the back of the knee followed by a standing moonsault once Classic was down. One moment in the match saw Ace Bennett nail a Suicide Dive onto Chaz as the two crashed into the announce table. Ace thought he was in total control but he was mistaken as Chaz countered a DDT attempted and drove Ace into the announce table with a Snap Brainbuster. The crowd went wild as the referee continued to count the two men out. Chaz got back in for a count of four as Ace crawled back in and got to the apron around the count of eight as he slowly got to his feet at nine before yanking himself back into the ring. The crowd went wild but the pop ceased as Chaz delivered stomps to Ace’s head. The match was all Chaz for the next two minutes until the end of the match when Chaz set Ace up for the Superplex only for Ace to counter out and trip up Classic so he was sat on the top turnbuckle. Ace then manoeuvred himself around Classic to plant his opponent with the Syracuse Drop and advance.
Winner: Ace Bennett.

The crowd were overjoyed at Ace Bennett advancing to the second stage in the tournament as Chaz Classic holds his head in agony after suffering the brutal Syracuse Drop. Chaz leaves in a huff but suddenly stops in his tracks as the final draft screen appears. Neither man has been drafted so they both didn’t dare move their eyes from the screen.

To Intensity: Chaz Classic
To Assault: Ace Bennett

The crowd go wild for the announcement as they proceed to chant ‘na, na, na, na….na, na, na, na..Hey,Hey…Goodbye’. Classic vanishes to the back and Ace celebrates with the fans to end the show.

you bastards.



It was a decent first episode for Assault. The layout is nice and simple and reflects the start of this promotion. I enjoyed the booking, including the main event. The drafting was a nice way to the end the show, not the strongest though. Maybe Ace landing his finisher on me again would have been better.

Keep it up.

Very nice to get the win there, and I didn't know I was so popular with everyone one!

*Dances like it's the last night of his life-life.*

Now on a more serious note, glad to see the draft continue as not everyone found a new home. Ace/Chaz was a classic and loved the ending with Chaz being drafted and the good old na na na say hey goodbye chants break out.

Alright second show.
-The Good Life? Love that song
-AJ on my brand? Very nice. Maybe a permanent tag for him and me.
- Nice to see us pick up the win against our brand rivals.
-Good promo from Chaz
-Not much to say about the Jackal/Luke match. Don't know much about either of them
- Very nice to see Daniels and Shamrock come to Assault.
-No surprise seeing Dragon and Duan winning.
-A little disappointed about the lack of Bock on the Assault brand. Oh well, Connor is pretty cool to have on our brand.
-Nice, short promo from Ace. Straight to the point
-Cool to see Caramel to win I guess. I actually know who he is.
-Cool to see Connor pick up the win. Hope he gets a nice push.
-Awesome to see Ace pick up the win. Even better to see him on Assault

Overall, another good show. This is looking great. Can't wait until more titles get into these shows.

Sorry for the late reply, loved both write ups. I also liked how I looked powerful in my first match as well. Can't wait to see whats next.

Sucks I wasn't on the card, maybe next week, though.

Dragon is on every show ftw! Duan/Zeke should be fun prob not quite as good as the previous two but still the best match on the show, tag match should be fun, also looking forward to Jackal/Kineval and how that plays out, good luck and keep this up.

I better not team with Cody Rejenarororororo permanently! But as long as I'm winning, who cares?

I checked the roster. Maybe a typo, but I'm on Assault. But it's cool, I'm still real happy for my superstar.
