BREAKING NEWS
Pagano gone from TNA?
There are rumours swirling of whether Evan Pagano has left TNA. The former SNW Original 16 has had his profile removed from TNA Roster page which seems to indicate that he has left SNW. There has been rumours that Pagano has been unhappy with TNA over the last few months. He originally joined TNA thinking that it would be a Launchpad for his talent but instead the company has struggled. Meanwhile, the company that he left, SNW has gotten bigger and bigger. If Pagano has left SNW, he will be expected to join back up with SNW. SNW are currently in the UK with two big shows, Magnificent 10 in Scotland and the Anniversary show which will be in London. Whether SNW will fly Pagano out to the United Kingdom seems unlikely. But then again... this is SNW.

Alt:Pro – Matthews vs. Arsenic II
Edward ‘The Genius’ Colgate opened the show. He recently left SNW from his commentator role. He put over Alt:Pro and said he wanted to be part of the fastest rising wrestling show. He then joined the commentary table.
The first match of the night pitted the best friends from Detroit, Tobias Black and Nate Ryan against the Owner’s handpicked team, Falcon and Robert the Bodyguard. The heels are awful in ring but the youngsters managed to get the crowd going after the hot tag. For some reason the heels went over, Falcon hit a F5 on Black to win. Fans boo’ed hard.
The theme followed as Vincent Valintino took on youngster Dane Warron. Both were faces and had an excellent back-and-forth fast paced match. The match was tainted by Valintino getting the win with the SSP. Fans boo’ed hard again. Why are Alt:Pro using their talented youngsters as jobbers? They shook hands afterwards but the fans chanted ‘F*** you Vincent’.
A quick squash match followed which did nothing to excite the crowd. Alexander Kuleshov squashed Pablo 'Speedy' Gonzalez. Again another youngster was jobbed out but booking wise, at least this made sense. Kuleshov beat his long-time rival at the last show and Alt:Pro may have big plans for him.
In a worrying occurring theme, one of Alt:Pro’s young talents lost as Vincent Fury beat Jake Swindell. But again, this made booking sense as Fury is one of the big names of the promotion. Plus, this did wonders for Swindell as it showed he could go against Fury. Fury did the same to Warron in his first match. Although he lost (after a Fury Strike) Swindell looked good in defeat.
Another squash match, blame Alt:Pro’s booking team. Twisted Assassin beat Antonio Benitez pretty quickly doing his same stuff he’s done every show. The fans still like him and his whole ‘arrive, win, leave’ gimmick but if they keep doing this it’s going to get stale quickly.
Four way action followed as four of Alt:Pro’s finest faced off: Matt, Ron Crockett, Patrick R. Everson and Phenom battled it out in a good contest with plenty of action. Colgate put over on commentary that this will have World title implications but avoided any comment on his former client Everson. It was Everson who took the fall as Crockett hit the German Suplex Hold after a finisher flurry.
Rivals Kris Havok and Christopher Kennedy Jones faced off again tonight. Last time they battled it was a dud. Tonight they led into the break so were given less time. Which worked on this occasion. It was a good bout just nothing special, both are better on the mic and in the ring. But Kris is still young and will improve. CKJ got the win with his feet on the ropes, probably suggesting this meaningless feud will continue.
The tag titles were on the line in our semi-main event under 2/3 Falls rules. The popular Blaze Brothers took on the Brits Arthur Williams and Rory Wiseman. The Brits isolated Lloyd from tagging out to his younger brother but then the hot tag was made and after a few high spots, the champions hit the T-Bone Suplex/Corkscrew Moonsault Leg Drop to get the first fall. The match continued with the commentators putting over that the Brits constantly lose to the Blaze’s. Just as they said it, Williams hit the Excalibur to tie it up at one win a piece. The match continued with the fans really into the closing stages. Max took a dive to the floor and missed, leaving Lloyd to battle the Brits alone. He fought back well but got hit by the Excalibur. But Max broke it up! He hit a dive to the floor and the second T-Bone Suplex/Corkscrew Moonsault Leg Drop followed giving the Blaze’s the win in possibly Alt:Pro’s best ever match.
Now the World title match had to follow, luckily the match was held under ‘Anything Goes’ rules which saved this match. Last time out there was a lot of stalling but these two went straight into it. The Champion A.J Matthews was in control but the sneaky Johnny Arsenic battled back into it. He even tried a fireball at one point but AJ stopped him and powerbombed him through the table. Arsenic sent the champ though another table with a spear that knocked AJ off the apron. Arsenic kicked out of an Eastern Execution and used a kendo stick to get out of the Fujiwara armbar. But the second Eastern Execution onto a chair gave the champ the win. Ron Crockett then ran in and attacked the champ and locked in a Crossface. He then posed with the belt.
Quick Result:
1) Falcon and Big Bob def. Tobias Black and Nate Ryan
2) Vincent Valintino def. Dane Warron
3) Alexander Kuleshov def. Pablo 'Speedy' Gonzalez
4) Vincent Fury def. Jake Swindell
5) Twisted Assassin def. Antonio Benitez
6) Ron Crockett def. Matt, Patrick R. Everson and Phenom
7) Kris Havok def. Christopher Kennedy Jones
8) TAG: 2/3 Falls: Blaze Brothers def. Arthur Williams and Rory Wiseman (Defence 3)
9) WORLD: Anything Goes: A.J Matthews def. Johnny Arsenic (Defence 3)

So I've left one of my jobs. Giving me more time (not much) but it might give me time to either update SNW or WFigs League I was on about previously.
Also 100 page rule.

Gareth Bale you are a  ing legend. I can't believe this Welsh team is doing it. It really can't be overlooked how well the rest of the team is doing either. 3 of the 4 at the back tonight play in the Championship, and they kept out the number 2 side in the world... For the second time. Only Argentina have kept a clean sheet against Belgium in 30 international games. We've done it twice. Credit to Coleman too, i thought he was a no hoper who would set us back years. He is proving everyone wrong right now. Mostly the credit goes to Bale though. Very proud to be Welsh. It would be awful if we didn't qualify now and ive become cautiously optimistic we can't let it slip now. Perfectly summed up my thoughts. Just wish I was there. |

Hey, I'm not dead! I'm still here, just not posting much because I'm working 7 days a week at the moment. I still want to carry on SNW, I got a good amount written up that just needs posting. I haven't written anything new for ages though. I was looking back through my old diaries the other day (because I presumably have time to do that and not write new stuff, stupid brain) and it got me thinking about future diaries or extensions to older ones. Of course, being so busy. This isn't going to be anytime soon. But I thought it was worth posting. 3) WFigs Premier League Returns: In case you don't know/remember what I am talking about it's this. I always wanted to bring this back someday but reading through it again the last few days have really made me want to reboot this. I've even been planning out teams. The problem being with this, is the amount of time that I would need to set this up. It's a complicated set up which would take time. I could cut down the match write up's so that it's basically just the results. But all the set up stuff would take time. Ideally, someone would help me with it. But I know joint diaries never work. Out of the three choices, this is the one I want to do most at the moment. I don't have time to do it, but if I do, I might start this back up again. Let me know if your interested in seeing this back. So this is becoming more of a possibility. I found a website that can generate the fixtures which takes a load off my plate. I've planned out the teams and done two new graphics for the teams. All going good. Dunno, if I have time to actually write up the shows. But then I might just cut drastically down on write ups. It'd only be bout 20 - 25 shows long. I think I can keep that up. I dunno, still looking at the pros and cons. |

Congrats Himmy. And thanks Cam for hosting this. Sadly, I couldn't retain my crown. Dipped at the end, just didn't have enough time to submit. Oh well, next years mine again going by tradition.

Nevermind the Buzzcocks has been axed. I know there's been talk about the show before on here.
I'm gutted. I still thought it was great. Rhod Gilbert was a good addition to Noel and Phil.
Hopefully it comes back on another channel.

Champions Carnival
Night 2 2016
Live only on SNW Player
The final eight men in the tournament will face off in singles matches. SNW has promised another night of top action, likely without any segments or interviews.
1) SNW: QUA: Chris Hammers [1] vs. Bret Thomas [10]: Thomas was a bit of a surprise into the quarters after he beat a former World Champion, now he got a championship shot. This bout was unlike usual SNW matches as it was two big men hammering the hell out of one another. The crowd got really into this and Thomas looked like an absolute beast. A triple powerbomb from Thomas was countered on the second bomb, which allowed the champ to hit the ropes and hit a final Lariat to knock Thomas out cold. The referee called for the bell and Hammers advances.
2) QUA: Kevin Hart [3] vs. Jet Jaguar [9]: Hart followed up last night’s MOTN performance with another contender. The match was so different to the previous match as the pace was fast and the spots were high. Jag has been showing all year that he has the qualities to be a big star and stepped up yet again against the second Triple Crown champion. Hart missed a 450, Jag rolled through into a pin then hit a head kick for a close count. But the finish came as Jag springboarded in and Hart grabbed the legs and locked in the Sharphooter for the submission victory.
After Hart had left, Jack Powers ran in and attacked Jet Jaguar. They faced off at Riot Act where Powers defeated the youngster but Jag got the last laugh with the Asian Mist. Jag wasn’t so lucky here and was beaten down by the former World Champ, who was probably pissed that Jag went further than him in the tournament.
3) QUA: Jordan Devine [2] vs. Steven Kagemann [11]: After Jord’s lacklustre match last night, it’s good to see him in a good bout tonight. Although, it wasn’t up to the standards of the last two matches, it was still a good match. Kagemann was his usual frantic self, hitting a diving double stomp from the apron to the floor. Kagemann’s wound from last night re-opened and wore a crimson mask for about half the match. Devine managed to fight back hitting a suplexbomb on the apron. Devine soon followed it up with the Devinity to seal the win.
4) QUA: Nick Jacobs [4] vs. Ace Bennett [5]: The final of four quarterfinal matches gave the fans an interesting encounter. The match was very back and forth with either man likely to walk out as the winner. Highlights included Ace hitting a brilliant step up dive to the floor, Jacobs hitting a deadlift German superplex and the finish came when Ace locked in the Sycaruse Bound and had Jacobs tapping.
5) Mike Bockwinkel, Jack Powers, Safu and Cameron Stone vs. Cody Rejero, Jack Joseph, Jason Williams and Jacob Ryler: This was a break in the tournament action, a nothing match really, involving all the talent who had been eliminated last night. Nothing really to note, other than the obligatory dive spot which ended when Jason’s fantastic springboard 630. Bock got the win for his team with the Bockwinkel Special: Championship Edition.
6) SNW: SEMI: Chris Hammers [1] vs. Ace Bennett [5]: The tournament continues to pump out truly great matches, this was a call back to their feud last year when Revolution X and Team Bennett clashed on numerous occasions. But this was still a very fresh match. Hammers was the more aggressive and more confident. But Ace took his time and plotted his way back in the match. Ace did seem to legit twist his knee at one point so there was a brief pause but he did solider on. That knee injury made have just been kayfabe as it came into the finish. Hammers reversed the Syracuse Drop into a top rope powerbomb for a near fall. But it was the Lariat that put down the first ever Triple Crown champ and allowed the Champ to advance to the finals.
7) SEMI: Jordan Devine [2] vs. Kevin Hart [3]: Great match, maybe a dip in performance from the match. This was a rematch from the Be the Best 2016 final, Devine won that bout but Hart went into that match with an injury. I think SNW will be disappointed that Devine isn’t getting a better reaction from the crowd over the two nights, with Riley out injured, they seem to be building him up in a match against Hammers. However, Hart always gets a loud reaction and really took the fight to Devine. Despite being FUSE Champ, Hart still can challenge against SNW’s top dogs. There were some good spots including Devine hitting an exploder suplex on the apron. Hart hit the 450 for a close count but it was Devine who looked to be advancing until Hammers showed up at the apron. Devine looked over and was hit by a superkick, Hart collapsed on Devine and got the win.
Intermission. Hammers shook his head and left. It was unclear whether Hammers distracted Devine on purpose or just came out to see his teammate get the win. No-one came out at the break again. It seems SNW is really pushing weekend as “100% wrestling” and they have certainly delivered.
8) Fatality Squad vs. Nick Jacobs and Jet Jaguar: A filler match from the competitors eliminated earlier tonight. This was your standard Squad match, they worked over the smaller Jaguar before he made the hot tag to Jacobs. Jag then hit a dive to the floor but ended up taking the fall after the Ball and Chain.
9) SNW: FINAL: Chris Hammers [1] vs. Kevin Hart [3]: The first ever final of the Champions Carnival pitted the SNW World Champion against the SNW FUSE Champion but that didn’t make it a one sided bout. Hart is a Triple Crown Champ and went blow-for-blow with the World Champ. The match started with both men wanting to start off with their style of wrestling, Hart wanted to go technical and Hammers wanted a strike game. This led for an interesting start until Hammers gave in and went to lock up, then he blasted Hart with an elbow. Hammers then controlled the bout until Hart hit his first superkick for an early near fall. Hart then worked over Hammer’s leg, he went for the Sharpshooter but the champ got to the ropes and pulled himself onto the apron. Hart was caught with another elbow and lifted over to the apron. The two battled until Hart hit a brainbuster on the apron. “Calgary’s Own” then hit a Suicide Dive. The title couldn’t change on a countout so Hart rolled him into the ring and went for the 450. Hammers moved and caught the FUSE Champ in a triangle choke. Hart just about got to the ropes. Hart was busted open after a few stiff shots and the “Irish Doomsday” was well on his way to retaining. He hit a lariat for a close count then decided to end it with the senton. But Hart moved. The two struggled to their feet before Hart avoided Hammers and hit a superkick. Hammers fell through the ropes and onto the apron. Hart then dragged Hammers to the top rope and went for a superpex but the champ reversed it into a Tiger Bomb from the top. But Hammers didn’t go for the pin, he lifted Hart and hit him with the running Liger Bomb. But Hart kicked out! The World Champ called for the end, lifting Hart yet again, this time for the Last Minute Orders. But Hart fought back. He fought valiantly back and hit the superkick, but Hammers hit a stiff elbow, Hart responded with a superkick and hit the Maple Leaf Revenge. Hammers kicked out! Hart then locked in the sharpshooter. Hammers seemed like he would pass out from the pain but made it to the ropes. Back on their feet, Hammers hit another elbow and finally hit the Last Minute Orders, which was enough to keep Hart down for the count.
Chris Hammers wins the 2016 Champions Carnival. He was handed the trophy and the SNW World Championship. He had gone through two nights of defences and walked out as champion. Cementing himself not just as the current best in SNW but also possibly the best ever. RevX came out to celebrate with him but Devine didn’t join him in the ring, he stood at the entrance with his arms crossed.

I haven't written anything new for ages though.

Of course, being so busy. This isn't going to be anytime soon. But I thought it was worth posting. 1) WSX Season 2: A follow on from this which I think, outside of SNW, is my most successful diary. I'm proud of completing the entire season and had some great plans for Season 2. It was about the time I was big into Indy wrestling so I knew the scene. I've always planned on bringing it back. I hope someday I do. 2) WWF 2000: I've never done a straight WWE/WWF diary before. But this year I was tempted. Before I got busy, I started messing with EWR again. I chose 2000 because I'd just bought the WWE Network and watched stuff from that year. Stupidly the scenario had the Radicals still with WCW. But I still managed to get through a whole year of booking. One of my main goals was building the Lightweight division, with the kinda backstory of WWE seeing what WCW does well and stealing it. So I signed some top indy lightweights and it's been my highlight. Christopher Daniels has been champ. Daniel Bryan debuted as William Regal's protégé. And after Christian got injured Edge went on a singles run, recently winning the IC title. I've given up on it as late. But hope to go back to it. I never planned on writing a show at a time, rather, a bi or tri monthly recap. It's still a possibility. 3) WFigs Premier League Returns: In case you don't know/remember what I am talking about it's this. I always wanted to bring this back someday but reading through it again the last few days have really made me want to reboot this. I've even been planning out teams.

Awesome first chapter. Well written. And good characters. Very violent, more than I expected. Looking forward to what comes of this. I think everyone went a bit gimmicky more than what you wanted. It's more gritty and dark.

Sorry, what's all this about a 10th anniversary episode? It's a piss poor kept secret (apparently) that this fall will have a 10th anniversary special for New Who. And it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to get all three good term Doctors (10-12) on the same screen with Capaldi in a bigger capacity than he was in the 50th anniversary episode. First I heard of it. I think it's just rumours. If they were going to do it, they would have announced it by now. |

How is that going to help. Even if they get a low turnout they are not going to care. So you may as well vote. Make your voice heard. Even if you don't agree with everything they say there must be one you agree with. It's the lesser of evils. One of them are getting in this year, that's a fact. The biggest statement that can be made is a no show. Vote ukip, or Monster Raving Loony, or whoever, your voice won't be heard. Vote conservative or labour and you get more of the same. I'm actually going a further and saying I will be out to Singapore or Malaysia if labour get in, or just chill in a cheap country for a couple of years. Because the aspirational will get nothing out of labour, and the lazy will get the lot as always Are you actually leaving the country if Labour get in? WTF? Not voting or spoiling papers don't matter. They just won't care. It won't make any difference. I'm not saying everything us perfect. I've said many times we need a rehaul. But I think this is how it is, we gotta make the best of what we got. That's all I'm saying. Let's agree to disagree |

I'm not saying who I'm going to vote for. Nor am I going to try and persuade others. I think everyone should vote. No matter how much you know about it. Saying they're all the same is a ridiculous statement. This party will be in control of the Nation. You should have your say in that. It does look like we are destined for a coalition. And as we saw from last time round, this means manifesto points will be broken (Uni fees). So while it may seem a good idea to vote for the smaller parties (I'm included Lib Dems, just anyone other than the big two) because they have good policies. It's likely that some will be broken, some will be ignored and forgotten. The odd policy will pass just to keep the minority party happy. Of course, there is also a possibly of a vote of no confidence leading to a second election. I would hope that it wouldn't come to this. Having no vote is having a say. It's saying you don't want any of them in charge. How is that going to help. Even if they get a low turnout they are not going to care. So you may as well vote. Make your voice heard. Even if you don't agree with everything they say there must be one you agree with. It's the lesser of evils. |
