SCWA: Free to View Episode One 10/07/09; Exclusively on SCWA.COM
1. SCWA FREE TO VIEW TOURNAMENT QUARTER FINALS) Harry Carraway Defeated Jack Joseph in 12:42 with the Nightmare Driver. *** 2.) C.G. Gordo Defeated Eddy Valintino in 4:32 with the Cradle Pildedriver. DUD. 3.) Chaz Classic & Blazing Phoenix Defeated Lee Kineval, LyNN & Matt Dangerous in 15:32 when Classic used Remember That on Kineval. *** 4. SCWA FREE TO VIEW TOURNAMENT QUARTER FINALS) Jason Williams Defeated Ace Bennett in 26:32 with the Psycho Driver. ****1/2- The show kicked off with a special announcement as Duan Sanchez Sr., who has been working commentating duties since SCWA’s first show, announced that from now on he’d be pulling double duty as he was informed that morning that he was going to be the official SCWA commissioner with control over match making. I expect this announcement was made to give these Free to View shows a sense of importance to make sure that people will actually tune in.
- The opening match was the perfect way to kick things off with two young, up and coming stars getting let loose to put on a solid match. Carraway is unique in that he really throws his weight behind his impact moves and Joseph learnt that first hand today. It wasn’t easy for Carraway though, Joseph put up a great fight and continues to impress every single time and he’s slowly improving at drawing heat directly from the crowd as well. There was an excellent back and forth moment late in the match where it looked like either man could have picked up the win only for Carraway to rebound off of the ropes with one of the most vicious lariats ever, Joseph flipping out of his skin. Carraway followed up with the Nightmare Driver to pick up the win and advance in the tournament.
- C.G. Gordo picked up the squash victory tonight as the SCWA seek to showcase one of their stars to a possibly wider audience. Gordo ran through Valentino with little effort, throwing him about the place and looking good doing it. Valintino got in a little bit of offence but never looked like a threat as he was put away with the Cradle Piledriver. Following the match Gordo cut a promo on Chaz Classic, hyping the SCWA World Heavyweight Championship match at The Clash and promising to make all Three Kings champions.
- As if to follow up on C.G. Gordo’s message Chaz sent one of his own, though it took a little longer, had a lot more people involved and was definitely more competitive. The point of these free for all shows is about showcasing an array of talent and this match did exactly that. Chaz is the world champion and, as you’d expect, he shone and dragged Blazing Phoenix up to his level despite the pairing being little more than talent to put other teams over at this point. Opposite them were a trio of up and coming talent and with LyNN and Matt Dangerous being on the cusp of breaking through the tag team glass ceiling it made a lot of sense for Lee, who is still honing his craft, to take the fall. One particularly sequence of note was between LyNN and Chaz Classic, LyNN is known mostly for being a daredevil but he came into the SCWA as a technician and got to bust that out here, given the chance he’ll definitely be one to watch out for. Crowd popped loudly for the finish and went into a fever pitch when C.G. Gordo came out and stared Chaz down following the match.
- Ahead of the main event there was a video highlighting the four tournament participants competing on next week’s show – Jason Star, Sam Kineval, Kevin Hart and Daniel Sinn.
- Man, if one match could ever be defined as star making for two young wrestlers then this main event is definitely it. It’s like they gave Jason Williams and Ace Bennett nearly half an hour and told them that this was their one chance to make a name for themselves and they passed the test with flying colours because this is a definite match of the year candidate for sure. Both men have threatened to steal the show on recent cards, though Bennett has been more prominent, and it just kind of exploded tonight. Williams and Bennett got to show everything they’ve got and the fans ate it up, from the technical battle that opened the match to Ace Bennett arguing with fans about being the “Only Real Wrestler” to the absolutely crazy moment that Williams flew over the top rope and delivered a hurricane DDT to the outside, every single moment got people buzzing. The hurricane DDT turned the tide of the match and gave Williams plenty of momentum but he couldn’t capitalise as Bennett, rather against his claims of being a real wrestler, hit a low blow to buy himself some time. He fought back but Williams managed to avoid the Syracuse Drop on two separate occasions and ended up hitting a springboard Busaiku Knee Kick, followed by the Psycho Driver to cap off an outstanding main event. Standing round of applause for the two men following the match, a hell of a way to top off the first free for all show and with three to go we’re betting the SCWA are going to try and keep up this kind of momentum.

Good first show, I like both Harry and Jack and them facing off in the opener is a great way to kick off. A Gordo squash is the right thing to do, puts him over well. Good six man tag, a little random team but at least it puts Chaz over. Kineval being in it is good too. Amazing main event, a proper grab your viewers attention main event. Surprised at Jason over Ace but its good that your pushing the guy who usually doesn't get pushed. Making your own stars. Good luck and keep this up.

Post by Ace Bennett on Feb 28, 2014 0:39:44 GMT -5
Nice show. Glad to see Ace put on such a great match, despite losing. Hopefully better things are in his future, but I like that your pushing Jason Williams as I always wanted to give him more of a push in PTW but never really got an opportunity to. Your main event feud between Gordo and Classic is good and I look forward to seeing that built up more as time goes on. I'm confused as to why both of the tournament matches were called "finals" though, thinking it was a typo but I don't know. Good show man, I'll be reading as always.

SCWA: Free to ViewEpisode Two 10/14/09; Exclusively on SCWA.COM
1. SCWA FREE TO VIEW TOURNAMENT; QUARTER FINAL) Daniel Sinn Defeated Kevin Hart in 15:32 with the Original Sinn. ***1/2 2.) Mike Bockwinkel Defeated Josh Skyfire in 3:21 with the Bockwinkel Special. DUD. 3.) Tyler Moxley & Paul Patton (w/ C.G. Gordo) Defeated Chaz Classic & Daz in 18:12 when Moxley hit Moxicity on Daz. ***1/2 4. SCWA FREE TO VIEW TOURNAMENT; QUARTER FINAL) Sam Kineval Defeated Jason Star in 21:42 with the Chaos Death Shot. ****
- SCWA’s free to view shows continued to impress with another stellar opening contest between two young stars. International Champion Kevin Hart definitely had the momentum behind him but there was no counting out Daniel Sinn, especially now that he’s getting to shine as a heel. The two put on a fantastic technical wrestling bout with the story being Sinn showing off his new flashy streak, trying to outdo everything Hart did. This almost proved to be his undoing as Hart ended up locking in the Sharpshooter after Sinn missed with a top turnbuckle leaping knee drop only for Ace Bennett, who will challenge Kevin Hart in a rematch for the International Championship at The Clash, came to ringside. Hart lost his cool after Bennett’s recent attack on him and released the hold to go after Bennett. The self-professed “Only Real Wrestler” made a quick getaway but as soon as Hart turned his attention back to Daniel Sinn he was struck with a low blow followed up by The Original Sinn. Great match between two future main eventers, the perfect way to kick off the show.
- SCWA continued its trend of featuring a main event player in a squash as Mike Bockwinkel got the treatment this week, swiftly putting down Josh Skyfire with relative ease. Following the match Bockwinkel pledged to show everyone why he is the chosen one of professional wrestling by winning the SCWA’s inaugural Best in the World tournament next month. If the SCWA want to use that tournament to make a new ready-made feature star then Bockwinkel has to be high up the list.
- A big tag team contest which was mainly used to promote Chaz Classic’s SCWA World Heavyweight Championship defence against C.G. Gordo in three days’ time. You know what you’re going to get with a Moxley and Patton performance, they’ve got a fairly similar game plan every time they step in the ring (Patton wears them out, Moxley runs through the remains) and they stick to it because it works. As such Chaz and Daz had a very difficult time keeping up with them due to their lack of tag team experience and while it was definitely entertaining to watch it probably wasn’t much fun for the fan favourites. C.G. Gordo’s presence on commentary didn’t make things any easier for the pair but it did give him a chance to show off some character and there’s a good reason he’s the main talker of The Three Kings – he’s great at it. As you’d expect though he didn’t stick to commentary all the way through, taking the opportunity towards the end to deliver a brutal Impaler DDT to Chaz on the outside and making Daz easy pickings for his teammates. Daz put up a fight but ended up getting pushed from the top turnbuckle by Patton and was swiftly put away by the Moxicity. Crowd booed The Three Kings all the way up the ramp but there’s no denying they got the job done.
- Another fantastic main event and while it didn’t match last week’s bout between Jason Williams and Ace Bennett few matches could given the time they’re working with on these free to view shows. Now there’s a very good reason they call Jason Star the “Star-Maker” and that’s because it doesn’t matter who he’s facing, you know he’ll make them look great. Sam Kineval doesn’t need that though, he’s already great and if he wasn’t so young (he’s only 20) you’d be calling him the next World Champion by now. The one thing about Kineval’s offence that really gets the crowd into the action is that it looks so dangerous, every single move he does looks stiff enough that you cringe just a little bit, especially the insane flying knee drop he pulled off from the top turnbuckle here. Star held his own throughout, using his superior experience to control large portions of the match. A frantic ending saw Kineval counter a top turnbuckle hurricanrana DDT with a Northern Lights Suplex for a near fall. Kineval went for Perplexion but Star countered and hit the J Driller for an incredibly close near fall. Star wasted time recovering and then went for the J* but this time Kineval countered, hit the Chaos Death Shot and got the pinfall to close out the match and the show with a big victory.

Here is what has been announced for the cards so far, though they are of course subject to change. One thing to note is that SCWA have added a triple threat number one contenders match to The Clash, as announced exclusively on their website. Prelude to The Clash10/16/09; East Rutherford, New Jersey
Chaz Classic, Trace Demon & Jason Star vs. C.G. Gordo, Tyler Moxley & Paul Patton Mike Bockwinkel vs. Daz Red Dragon vs. El Hierro Corazon Eleric Krause vs. Jason Williams Harry Carraway & Duan Sanchez Jr. vs. Jake Richards & Daniel SinnThe Clash10/17; Newark, New Jersey SCWA World Heavyweight Championship Match – Chaz Classic © vs. C.G. Gordo Number One Contenders Match – Daz vs. Mike Bockwinkel vs. Chris Hammers Bryan Danielson vs. Sam Kineval Street Fight for the SCWA World Tag Team Championship – Paul Patton & Tyler Moxley © vs. Trace Demon & Jason Star Ladder Match for the SCWA International Championship – Kevin Hart © vs. Ace Bennett Steel Cage Match – Harry Carraway vs. Jake Richards Duan Sanchez Jr. vs. Daniel Sinn- With the Best in the World tournament taking place next week SCWA have announced the final three participants. As expected Chris Hammers has been added to the tournament and he’ll be joined by two rising stars who seem to be in the middle of a push – Jason Williams and Harry Carraway. - While we don’t have concrete viewing numbers for the first two SCWA Free to View shows due to them being broadcast exclusively through SCWA.COM the word from those involved in producing the shows is that they’ve seen a large rise in the number of unique visitors to the website since the shows went online meaning they’re getting people watching these shows who have never visited the website before and likely never bought an SCWA show before. Whether this translates into big figures for The Clash will be interesting to see.

For the layout of the shows, have you thought about putting the match results at the bottom of the layout? It doesn't give away the results. Anyway, Ace attacking Hart makes sense storyline wise and Sinn advancing makes sense too with his recent heel turn. but just don't push your characters too much. TV shows have to have squashes and I can see Bock making a squash enjoyable. Good tag match carries on the feuds, would like to see Chaz in a singles match soon, maybe a squash, maybe not next week since he's been on TV twice in a row. Great main event and loving that Sam won. Would love to see him win the tournuey but a good showing will also do. The Clash looks like an awesome card, every match has been built up well and every match looks like it could be awesome. Good luck and keep this up.

SCWA Prelude To The Clash 10/16/09; East Rutherford, New Jersey
- With just a day before they hold their first iPPV SCWA came to East Rutherford the SCWA put on a show that perfectly built up to The Clash, providing two excellent matches and a lot of other talking points as well.
- The show opened with a solid tag team contest which unfortunately showed the gulf in interest between two different feuds. The crowd were crazy about Carraway and Richards, they’re two brutal brawlers and when they’re in the ring together you just can’t look away, but there’s just something very bland about Sanchez and Sinn, despite being a hell of a lot more entertaining now he’s turned heel he just doesn’t mesh with Sanchez. While they could hide this a bit in a tag team match when they face off one on one it’s going to be a problem. The crowd popped for Carraway getting the pin and there was genuine excitement when he and Jake Richards stared each other down after the match.
- Eleric Krause got his first real challenge tonight as he faced off with the fast rising Jason Williams. In a way Jason was also challenged here because he’s been working with top names recently and this was the first time he had to carry the name value of a match. Thankfully it worked, Krause and Williams putting on a solid, if short, match. Krause dominated much of it with his size and strength but ended up taking himself out of the match. The fight was taken to the outside but when Krause went for a spear on the outside Williams leapt over him, sending him head first into the steel steps. Williams rolled back into the ring just before the ten count and Krause was counted out. While the crowd were disappointed with the finish they got some more action as Krause attacked Williams after the match, laying him out with the Russian Revolution in a furious rampage at losing.
- Prior to his match Red Dragon was briefly shown backstage on the screen being wished luck by his injured tag team partner Assassin. That seemed to drive him forward and he was in fine form against Corazon. The two put on quite an athletic, fast and varied match that gave two lesser highlighted guys a chance to shine. In the end Dragon got the victory and a decent, if now spectacular, reaction from the fans.
- While the Kevin Hart / Jack Joseph match was pretty impressive and showcases exactly why these two men are considered to be among the next crop of headline stars it was what happened after the match that’s worth mentioning. Moments after Kevin Hart made Joseph tap out to the Sharpshooter Ace Bennett slid into the ring, attacking Hart. Bennett quickly grabbed a ladder from under the ring and damn near knocked Hart out by running the ladder straight into his skull. With Kevin Hart down and out Bennett trapped him beneath the ladder and then climbed it with a microphone, cutting a promo about how he’s sick of seeing a person with less talent holding his International Championship and that it belongs with “a real wrestler… no, the Only Real Wrestler”. Bennett posed on top of the ladder above an unconscious Kevin Hart, the crowd raining in the boos. Bennett just established his heel persona with a single promo and it was gold, there’s genuine excitement about the International Championship match tomorrow night.
- Sam Kineval had the task tonight of working with the slowly improving but still green Josh Bregar and he did a good job of making it one of the better matches of the night. The problem with Bregar is that he’s so young and green, but he’s got a ton of potential and a decent amateur wrestler gimmick going on and people want him to succeed. Unfortunately tonight he came out on the losing end to Kineval who continues to roll on towards his match with Danielson tomorrow night. After the match Kineval called out Bryan Danielson for a fight, not wanting to wait until tomorrow. When Danielson made his way to the ring he was ambushed by Lee Kineval and the Kineval boys beat Danielson down, leaving him lying. Sam dragged Danielson inside the ring, lifting him up and dropping him with the Chaos Death Shot. Sam Kineval stood tall over Bryan Danielson to end the segment, the SCWA have done a dynamite job so far tonight of building up some of their more anticipated matches for tomorrow night.
- With the recent announcement that Mike Bockwinkel, Daz and Chris Hammers will face off tomorrow night to decide a new number one contender two of those three clashed tonight while Chris Hammers watched on from the commentary table. What we got from these two could definitely be considered the sleeper hit of the night, nobody really knew what exactly to expect since these two have never been in the same ring together. In the end it was a fantastic technical wrestling affair with plenty of involvement from the crowd as Bockwinkel repeatedly attempted to remove Daz’s mask much to the crowd’s disgust. Hammers commentated with sarcastic disinterest for much of the match, watching on as the pair went back and forth for lengthy spells. One of the most interesting parts of the match was in fact Hammers’ commentary because as things went on he got more and more agitated and eventually just said screw it, he wanted a fight and he went and got one. Hammers inserted himself into the match and attacked both Bockwinkel and Daz, effectively ending the match as he laid both men out and stood tall over them to make it very clear that he’s still in the World Championship race.
- The show was headlined by a big six man tag team main event that intertwined two of tomorrow night’s title match feuds. This, like much of what we’ve seen tonight, was all about building the anticipation for tomorrow night’s iPPV which meant we didn’t get a lot of action between Chaz Classic and C.G. Gordo, but we got just enough to make it very clear that these two are going to put on one hell of a match. On the other hand the teams of Demon & Star and Patton & Moxley have clashed a dozen times in the past few months be it in singles matches, tag action or just straight up brawls and we already know they’re going to put on a brutal but brilliant match so they carried much of the action tonight. Both teams looked good of course but Gordo looked like a real star and I wouldn’t put it past him to win the title tomorrow, he had a fantastic sequence with Jason Star that was probably the best straight up action sequence of the entire show and he nearly got the win when he hit one of the most brutal package piledrivers I’ve ever seen on Jason Star. Star spent much of the rest of the match, about five minutes or so, selling the injury which meant his sudden reappearance at the finish, when he hit a springboard from the apron onto both Gordo and Moxley, got a big pop. This set Demon up to hit a Buasaiku Knee Kick to Patton which Chaz followed up with the Remember That to get the victory.
RESULTS
1.) Harry Carraway & Duan Sanchez Jr. Defeated Jake Richards & Daniel Sinn in 13:42 when Carraway pinned Sinn following the Nightmare Driver. **1/2 2.)

Dunno about having a preview show for the clash with such big matches but I guess it makes sense with the TV show. Carraway/Richards should be good. Jason winning by countout sets up a rematch. Dragon getting a singles win is good. Jack losing doesn't damage him too much, good promo afterwards. Kineval winning is good too and so is the attack on Dragon builds up the feud even more. Bock/Daz ending the way it did makes sense. Mega main event but I'd have put the Kings over, as an established stable I think they should have won. Hoping Chaz retains at the clash. Good luck and keep this up.

SCWA The Clash10/17/09; Newark, New Jersey Live on iPPV!- SCWA had a bigger setup tonight with a proper stage and the big screen hanging above it. Crowd of at least 2,650 people which would make it the largest SCWA crowd of their short history.
- Duan Sanchez Sr., the acting commissioner of the SCWA and part of its announce team, started the show off by thanking everybody for coming out to make SCWA history at its first ever iPPV. Sanchez makes a point that they’re holding another, two day iPPV next month and that they’re currently going full steam ahead and that tonight is only the beginning. Sanchez Sr. got the crowd pretty hyped up before introducing his own son, Sanchez Jr. for the opening match.
- It’s just bad luck, or possibly bad card positioning, when you get this kind of contrast, right? You kick off the show with Sanchez Sr. cutting a solid welcome to the show promo and you follow it up with his charisma lacking son in action as if you’re trying to point out how bland he is. Luckily Sinn carried the charisma portion of the match which let the pair put on a passable match but certainly not the opener that the SCWA were probably hoping for in their first iPPV. The match did have a twist in it’s tail though as a mystery man appeared at ringside as Sanchez was in control, drawing Sanchez Sr. to say “Luke” from the announce booth. The man provided enough of a distraction as Sanchez Jr. looked like he’d seen a ghost, Daniel Sinn taking him out from behind and hitting the Original Sinn to pick up the victory. Following the match the mystery man left through the crowd and Sanchez Sr. abandoned the booth, leaving up the ramp with his son, both of them looking confused at what had just happened.
- With Duan Sanchez Sr. having left the commentary booth Alex Cross was joined by Jack Joseph. Joseph played the heel commentator well throughout the night and it was a bit of an eye opener that when he’s given a proper chance to talk he’s really, really good at it.
- While the opener was nothing special the steel cage match was a fantastic way to rebound. This wasn’t your usual “try to escape to win” kind of match, neither Carraway or Richards cared about escaping the cage, they just wanted to beat the hell out of the other and that’s exactly what they did. When they get a chance to let loose these two are the stiffest guys on the roster, this one looked just like a shoot fight and the crowd ate it up. They used the cage purely as a weapon, both men smashing the other into it on more than once occasion, and it provided one of the more memorable moments when Carraway dived from halfway up the cage with a big shoulderlock. He nearly failed when he went up high again though, going for a leaping knee drop from the cage wall that Richards dodged and took control, only for Carraway to fight back, delivering a vicious headbutt and then connecting with a Nightmare Driver to pick up the big victory. By the end of the match both men were bloodied and, for their efforts, got a big round of applause from the crowd.
- From one brutal match to another it was time for the first title defence of the night in the form of the SCWA World Tag Team Championship street fight. When you’ve got these two teams in the ring you know exactly what you’re going to get, a fantastic, fast paced and dangerous match – they’ve proven it before and they proved it again. There were no tags for this one, all four men just went at it with everything they could get their hands on, including their own hands, feet and bodies of course. The match spiralled to the outside pretty quickly with the two teams breaking off, Star and Patton having an intense battle around the ring while Trace Demon and Tyler Moxley took it up the ramp, off the ramp thanks to a spear from Demon and then, once they’d recovered from the fall, into the crowd. Demon and Moxley really went at it, smashing each other to pieces with bumps on the concrete floor, the fan seating and, in a moment of absolute madness, Trace clotheslining both Moxley and himself over the railing of the steps and to the floor below, leaving them both incapacitated. This left just Patton and Star, who had brought weapons into play at this point, and it was Patton who capitalised, low blowing Star and hitting the Diamond Cutter. That wasn’t enough for the three though and it took a second Diamond Cutter, this time onto a steel chair, to give Moxley and Patton the victory and the successful title defence.
- With a confirmed title shot for the final SCWA Free to View show on the line Chris Hammers, Daz and Mike Bockwinkel all went into their triple threat match knowing a win was crucial and they went all out to try and get that win, matching the performances of the previous match albeit with a much more wrestling orientated focus. Daz was the clear crowd favourite, his feud with The Three Kings has sky rocketed his popularity but that was no good here as Hammers and Bockwinkel double teamed him early on to take him out of the match. That teamwork didn’t last long as Bockwinkel tried to catch Hammers out only for the Crushing one to tear through him. From there the match became much more even, particularly when Daz springboarded off of the ropes and caught both men with a flying knee. They did a good job of making all three men look capable of winning, at least until Daz took a sickening Chris Hammers powerbomb from the ring apron to the floor that left him out. Bockwinkel attempted to halt Hammer’s run and came close until a boot damn near took his head off and one Guillotine later and the match was over, Chris Hammers having convincingly booked himself another shot at the title.
- Prior to the International Championship match Ace Bennett made his entrance with a robe and college wrestling gear, selling the “Only Real Wrestler” much to the amusement of the fans. He quickly tore both away, thankfully wearing his usual gear underneath, and things only got better from there as Kevin Hart and Bennett put on a real match of the year candidate and one of the best ladder matches in recent memory. We’ve seen this pairing put on a classic before and they were clearly trying to one up their previous match. They kept it strictly to wrestling for the opening five to ten minutes and both can certainly wrestle but things really got good when the ladders came into play because which Bennett likes to call himself the “Only Real Wrestler” he’s actually a far superior high flyer. The ladder was obviously used as a weapon, including Bennett somehow dragging it up with him to the top rope to deliver one of the most painful looking moves I’ve seen in a ladder assisted diving crossbody and a Kevin Hart sharpshooter with Bennett’s body trapped between the sides of the ladder later in the match. Towards the end of the match there were a number of close calls for both men but it all came down to a clash at the top of the ladder. Bennett had the belt it his hand and tried to swing it into the face of Kevin Hart but the Canadian Crippler dodged, leapfrogged Bennett and delivered a reverse hurricanrana to Bennett from the top of the rope and sending him head first to the canvas. While Bennett rolled to the outside Hart climbed the ladder once more, retrieved the title and retained the belt to a huge chant from the SCWA faithful.
- Before we could get to the next match a group of five men in black hoods walked through the crowd handing out flyers advertising the “Theatre Bizarre”. Nobody was really sure what it was about but I’m guessing it wasn’t to do with the 2011 horror film.
- With his match up next Sam Kineval, with Lee standing outside the ring, attempted to cut a promo in the ring but was cut short by the music of Bryan Danielson, who charged down the ramp, knocked out Lee with a Busaiku Knee Kick and slid into the ring to kick the match off in style. Of course Kineval jumped Danielson the moment he slid into the ring but that advantage didn’t last long, Danielson is a spitfire in the ring and that quick, high octane intensity caught Kineval off guard and put him on the back foot. However Sam Kineval hasn’t been dubbed the next big thing for nothing, a thumb to the eye gave him an opening and let him utilise his unique high-flying / MMA mash-up to get himself back in the match. And that’s one of the things that makes this pairing so entertaining to watch, they’re styles are similar enough that the match has a fantastic flow to it but different enough that the offence never feels overdone or repeated. Lee Kineval attempted to get involved towards the end of the match only to get nailed with a second Busaiku Knee that sent the crowd into raptures but that gave Sam another opening and he began to take control, even hitting Perplexion but only managing a two count. Kineval set Danielson up for the Chaos Death Shot but Danielson countered with a spin out DDT that left both men down and out. Lee crawled back into the ring, the crowd erupting into a chant of “get lost Lee”, and tried to help his brother up onto his feet. The moment both brothers were on their feet Danielson leapt up, charged forwards and hit a double Busaiku Knee Kick that sent Lee out of the ring and allowed Danielson to lock in Cattle Mutilation, Sam Kineval having no choice but to tap out!
- The main event kicked off with a video package showcasing Chaz Classic’s lengthy reign as the first ever SCWA World Heavyweight Champion before moving on to the dominance of The Three Kings. Solid production value here which has been the trend tonight. With that out of the way we moved onto the most important part of the night and while it didn’t quite top the International Championship match earlier in the night, few things could, it was still a fantastic match to close off the show and makes it very clear that the SCWA is here to stay and here to become a big force in professional wrestling. Classic and Gordo are two of the more understated wrestlers in the SCWA, they’re not flashy or rely on big spots, they’re two guys who just go at it with stiff strikes and great technical wrestling. Gordo hits harder, that’s for certain, but Classic is old school in that he doesn’t let anything at all phase him, he’s going with the story of the match and that’s that. At one point Classic was in clear control when Gordo sent him flying over the top rope and he landed awkward on the outside, jarring his knee, something that Gordo took advantage of immediately. A few high impact slams on the ring apron, all focused on the knee, put Gordo in the driving seat and as the match was taken back to the ring it looked over, C.G. Gordo locking in a single leg lock. Classic made it to the ropes and launched a spectacular comeback, the “Instant Classic” somehow managing to hit the Impaler DDT on the bad knee. However he couldn’t make the immediate pin due to the knee and that led to Tyler Moxley and Paul Patton making their way to the ring. It was Daz that made the big save before the tag champions could interfere, taking Moxley out with a steel chair that he simply threw into Moxley’s face before brawling with Patton up the stage and to the back. Classic could only get the two and then went for the Remember That, only for his knee to give out and Gordo to capitalise with the Cradle Piledriver, getting the pin and becoming the new SCWA World Heavyweight Champion! Gordo celebrated with the title as the crowd booed loudly, the SCWA’s first iPPV coming to an end on the image of C.G. Gordo as the new champion!

Great show R, liking the critique of your wrestlers, interesting angle, I guess some kind of family angle. Steel cage match sounded fun I like how you described it as fight rather than one man trying to leave. Good street fight. Contenders match sounded good, last sentence was a bit jarry, maybe I wouldn't have had Hammers getting another title shot. Bock may have been the better call. Hart/Ace is always a good un and you did it justice here. Ending sounded sick dunno if you noticed that Hart stole Ace's finisher, maybe that was worth mentioning. Lots of gimmick matches. AmDrag/Kinevals sounded sick. Great way of having Lee involved without overdoing it. Shame Sam lost but it did wonders for him. Main event sounded sick, dunno how they you can call them underrated since their in the main event fighting over the title. Good luck and keep this up.

SCWA NEWS: SCWA doing good business, Bryan Danielson to WWE, Luke Sanchez, Live Free to View Finale- While the SCWA aren’t releasing any official numbers the word is that The Clash, their first iPPV, did some very impressive numbers for the company and that they easily made a profit after subtracting the production and streaming fees. That, on top of the fact that their DVD and merchandise sales are increasing show on show, means that the company is not only in a very healthy financial situation but are in a position to expand. Current talk is to run six to eight iPPV’s in 2010 and to expand to other countries in the process with both a second Canadian tour and a few shows in Japan pencilled in. - It was officially announced this week that Bryan Danielson, who has been a regular on SCWA shows over the past few months, has signed for World Wrestling Entertainment and worked his last SCWA show at The Clash. SCWA’s official website posted a ‘thank you note’ on their website and wished Danielson well in the future. - A number of people have sent in that the man who appeared during the Duan Sanchez Jr. vs. Daniel Sinn match at The Clash is in fact Luke Sanchez, son of Duan Sanchez Sr. and brother of Duan Jr. Luke Sanchez, who is 23, is a high-flyer who has spent the past two years working for CMLL in Mexico as the masked wrestler El Hijo Olvidado, literally translated as ‘The Forgotten Son’. While most would speak badly about the head booker (Sanchez Sr.) bringing in his son into the promotion it was actually Tyler Moxley who recommended him, Moxley worked with Luke during a short stint in CMLL last year. - It was confirmed this week that the final SCWA Free to View show, airing on the 28th, will be a live broadcast which was rumoured after SCWA only pre-recorded three shows last month. It’s expected to be a big two hour show which will be headlined by C.G. Gordo making his first title defence against Chris Hammers.

SCWA: Free to View Episode Three 10/21/09; Exclusively on SCWA.COM- Sam Kineval and Harry Carraway kicked off the show in the first tournament semi-final match and if you’ve been paying attention over the past few weeks you’ll know that they’ve both been gaining a lot of plaudits for their performances. This was no difference, despite their contrasting styles you got a match that was only hampered by the time limit restrictions of these Free to View shows, though of course they’re intended as tasters so this could lead to a lengthier match down the line. Things were very back and forth with Kineval struggling to overcome to strength and viciousness of Carraway (Kineval took a stiff kick to the head at one point that left him a bit dazed) until Lee Kineval made an appearance. He tried to interfere but, just like at The Clash, received a running boot for his trouble. The distraction let Kineval roll Carraway up and use the tights for the victory and while the crowd didn’t like the ending it does open up the possibility of a rematch which nobody would likely object to.
- It’s fact, Eddy Valintino has slid to the bottom of the heap. When he first debuted he had a lot of potential but if anything he’s gotten worse since then and Red Dragon, as hard as he tried, couldn’t make this one anything but lacklustre. Thankfully it wasn’t a particularly long match and Dragon, who is a workhorse and deserves the push, picked up the victory with the Red Dragon Driver. Doubt it’ll make it onto the actual broadcast but Valintino was jeered out of the building by the live crowd.
- We’ve not really had a chance to judge the teams of Chicago’s Own or Blazing Phoenix beyond short squashes and six man tags so this tag match was a welcome surprise. It wasn’t spectacular, all four are still kind of green and need to get the hang of telling a proper story beyond “we can flip a lot” but hey, they certainly can flip a lot and it’s a lot of fun to watch. Chicago’s Own definitely seem to have futures here, they’ve got these fantastic 90’s spam gimmicks going on, complete with a Nirvana-sounding theme, and they go crazy in the ring without ever showing signs of gassing. The win here will do them, and Blazing Phoenix in turn due to their own performance, a lot of favours going forwards.
- Jason Williams is freaking tearing it up right now. After having a match of the year candidate at the first Free to View show he went out and put on a second incredible performance, this time against Daniel Sinn. It’s like finally being given the chance to make something of himself and he’s making damn sure that he snatches it with both hands. And just because this didn’t match the standards of the Bennett match don’t think it was particularly worse, just realize that this was actually the third taping in one night and both of these guys had already wrestled once. The pair told a simple story, they’re young guys, they’ve yet to get a big shot at a belt but now they’re just two wins away from doing exactly that and they’ll push their bodies to the limits to get there. There was a bit of a slow spell in the middle, likely because they wrestled earlier in the night and needed to recover for the big ending stretch, but the crowd were hot and more than made up for it. Speaking of the ending streak it was a non-stop counter session that ended with Sinn locking in a sharpshooter only for Williams to roll through, connect with a jumping knee to the jaw and then hit the groggy Daniel Sinn with the Psycho Driver for the win. The crowd went crazy and that only increased when Sam Kineval came out onto the ramp for a brief stare down as the show came to a close with a preview of the tournament finals, one that everyone in this crowd could not wait for.
