So glad you brought this back, love having another regular sign up on the board. Plus, maybe some more inter-promotion. AoA opening the show is like the Authority opening Raw. Thought !nter would be kicked out, isn't needed now. Could turn face and battle AoA. Could like to see Bayou pick up some wins. Kint is killing it! Mathews and Direstone feud, who's the face? Cool next PPV. Hopefully Bane loses and rises to main event. Would have been cool to see the title match main event. I like Jamersons hoped they'd win. !nter and Shane a team? Interesting. I see a title change at the PPV. Quinn without backup? Interesting again. Good way to build up the Mathews/Direstone feud. So Kint isn't going to win then, he's going feud with Bayou. Great main event and great ending esp with the returning Hazard. Loved that he took on Mortifer. That should be a killer feud, I'm thinking Hardy/Abyss from TNA years ago. Give them a wicked gimmick match. Thinking about what you said about your writing, your write up was faultless. I don't think it was ever bad but now it's def a joy to read. Keep it up Ace.

Enjoying this so far. Not a huge fan of the tournament right away but at least you establish your top players. Conway should even be near this tournament but I guessed you booked him because he shows up sometimes in NJPW. Maybe he can leave after a few cards, there's plenty of talented guys around. Think AJ would make a good champ. Haven't seen much of Hero since he returned to the indies but what I have seen has been meh. Looking forward to the Bullet Club versus Time Splitters and Sabin, great booking.

Be the Best Update
And it’s over, for the first time in SNW history there are no tiebreakers. We know all the Block winners. Here’s the run down:
BLOCK A
Jordan Devine [4]
Cody Rejero [3]
Daniel Sinn [3]
Matt Spade [2]
Summary: A crafty Devine held Rejero to a draw to take BLOCK A with four points. Cody and Sinn come second on three points. While Spade shockingly pinned the FUSE Champ to earn himself two points.
BLOCK B
Ace Bennett [6]
Jet Jaguar [2]
Matt Joseph [2]
Jason Williams [2]
Summary: Ace Bennett won BLOCK B unchallenged. Jason and Jaguar had a chance to take the block to a tiebreaker but both lost, so they come joint second alongside Matt Joseph.
BLOCK C
Jack Powers [5]
Safu [4]
Dave Demento [3]
Jack Joseph [0]
Summary: Despite going into the final nght with two wins out of two, Safu managed to miss out on becoming Block leader after a loss to Jack Powers. Powers advances, with Safu in second, Demento’s win over Joseph puts him second and Joseph last.
BLOCK D
Kevin Hart [6]Mike Bockwinkel [4]
Carson Clark [2]
LyNN [0]
Summary: Hart is only the second competitor to finish undefeated, he did so beating Mike Bockwinkel into second place. Clark picked up his only points with a final night win over LyNN, leaving the RevX man winless in last place. |

Fever Strike
Be the Best Qualifying – Night 3
1) BLOCK D: Carson Clark vs. LyNN: The show opened with two men who have yet to pick up a single point. LyNN tried to keep Clark grounded but got hit the with Small Package, allowing Clark to pick up the point.
2) BLOCK C: Dave Demento vs. Jack Joseph: Like the last match, neither of these two had a chance of topping the block. However, it was a good mid-card match with both men getting even offence. Jack missed the Pele then got hit with the F***tard.
3) BLOCK B: Jet Jaguar vs. Matt Joseph: Jack’s brother Matt was hoping to do better than his brother but Jaguar could still tie at the top of the block. There was some good highflying before Jason turned up and Matt won with a DVD. Meaning that Jaguar can’t advance.
4) BLOCK A: Daniel Sinn vs. Matt Spade: Sinn could still advance with a win here but Spade didn’t go down easily. Sinn tried to put Spade away quickly but ended up on the wrongside of a roll-up. Spade wins, and Sinn’s fate is out of his hands.
5) Travis Cantrell and Taliah Winters vs. Cain Jackal and Amy Lee: Fun inter-gender tag match, the focus was on the ladies who are feuding at the moment. It’s strange because the Women’s title is taking a back seat to this feud. Some fun action ends when Cantrell hits an Asai Moonsault to the floor and Winters locks in the Cloverleaf to make Lee tap once again.
6) BLOCK A: Jordan Devine vs. Cody Rejero: With Sinn losing earlier, it’s a straight up fight between Devine and Cody. But Devine with the advantage, as if the match is a draw, Devine advances. Because of this, it made for an interesting bout as Devine stalled but in an entertaining way. Fans were behind the ‘Pepsi King’ but the bell sounded before Cody could put Devine away. Devine wins BLOCK A.
7) BLOCK B: Ace Bennett vs. Jason Williams: With Jaguar out of the running, Ace was in pole position to advance, as long as he doesn’t lose to Jason. This was fun 15 minute match. Something was off with Jason, he kept looking around, like he expected Jaguar to show up. Ace capitalised with a normal Frankensteiner. Ace wins BLOCK B.
After Ace left, Jason smacked the matt a few times. He seemed upset at letting himself get carried away with thinking that Jaguar would show up. Cue Jaguar. The lights cut out and when they came back on Jag stood behind him. Jag hit a head kick to KO Jason and Jag stood over him.
8) Riley Shamrock and Parkland Bros vs. Chris Hammers and Fatality Squad: Big six-man tag as the World Champ and the Duos Champ took on their challenges for the Be the Best iPPV. It was a fun match which did feature Riley and Hammers squaring off, interestingly enough, Hammers got the better of Riley to continue the theme of Hammers besting Riley. Axel was the sacrificial lamb, being beaten down before the hot tag but his brother felt the full wrath of the Hammers’ Lariat, giving the challengers the win.
9) BLOCK C: Jack Powers vs. Safu: These two battled it off to be Block leader, like Devine earlier, Safu had the advantage but chose not to stall. Maybe he should have. Powers worked over the monster well but in doing so took a lot of damage. Still, Powers managed to knock out the Samoan with elbows while locked in a crossface. Powers wins BLOCK C.
10) BLOCK D: Mike Bockwinkel vs. Kevin Hart: Unlike all the other matches before this, these two were tied on points and so both men went all out from the bell to become block winner. After the initial brawl, the two technicians locked up and showed some excellent counters. Bock hit a piledriver on the apron and tried for the countout but it failed and later was sent to the outside where he ate a suicide dive. Back in the ring, Bock got the ropes from the Sharpshooter. Fan expected a time limit draw to take this to a tiebreaker at the next show but then Nick Jacobs showed up, distracting Bock, allowing Kev to hit the Maple Leaf Revenge to seal the win. Hart wins BLOCK D. |

It's a different time. And I'm not just making an Attitude Era versus Reality Era point. People have to change over time otherwise people complain it was the same old s***.

In short, Reigns winning wasn't the problem. The booking was the problem. I'm sure with all the staff and experience WWE has they could have made it so Reigns gets cheered when he won, even in Philly. I wrote a full review here: reddragonwrestling.blogspot.co.uk/Honestly I'm interested in how WWE reacts now. |

What an awfully booked Rumble match. I get that Reigns has to win but what was that. What was all those quick eliminations for Wyatt and Rusev for? And why did Rock only have a run in? Bryan and Dolph just being nobodies. Stupid.
Oh well, at least the rest of the card was good. Esp the triple threat.

I wrote a blog predicting the Royal Rumble winner reddragonwrestling.blogspot.co.uk/ It's hard to predict but I'm going with Reigns, just because it seems to set up the most likely 'Mania event versus Lesnar. That is, if he retains the belt. Damn it's hard to guess. |

Can't see it happening. Things change so much in 20 years. NXT probably won't exist. They'll have another development system.

How's everyone doing around here? I left a long time ago and popped up a few years ago just to check in. Been a busy last few years (moving, wedding planning, all the good stuff) but I have time to kill on my commute so I was thinking of getting back into things, but not sure what I'd do yet. What have people been doing lately? Have there been lots of current WWE ones? Has anyone tried to do a Jarrett promotion lately? Looking for something good, but don't want to beat a dead horse. Welcome back man. Good to see one of the best back. Just do what you want, you'll enjoy it more and more likely stick with it. |

Great to see this back Ace, I love me some ISW. Going to take a little bit to get back into it. Nice opening, still don't like the stable name but it is a cool stable !nter is so going out of the stable though now Mortifer is here, good repackaging there. I like the series of matches although I don't want Donner to be the one to beat Kellen. That should either go to one of the Japanese guys when they finally return or Bane. I liked the series and it was booked right. Cool to see the Jamersons going for the titles, I'd like to see them with the straps. Keep this up.

Synergy Issue #15
Petey the Pirate came out to welcome the crowd, he was interrupted by Synergy Champion Dave Demento who insulted Petey and the crowd. SNW World Champion Riley Shamrock came out and told Demento to shut his yap. Demento told Riley to put his title on the line tonight in a clash of the champions match. Riley accepted only if Demento shut up.
1) “El Hijo Nature Boy” Pedro Flair and Masked Marvel vs. Liam Hendrick and Carl Simmons: Two students of the fifth class teamed up to take on the masked warriors of Synergy. Hendrick looked good while Carl provided the power. The masked men took the win after Marvel brawled with Simmons on the floor while the Mexican son of Ric Flair locked in the Figure Four on Hendrick.
2) Cain Jackal vs. Simon Glockerburg: Another student from the fifth class was in action but didn’t get to do much. Jackal was dominant, he threw Glockerburg around before finishing him off with a Spear.
3) Joseph Stone vs. Cody Rejero: This was a good match to show what Joseph can do. He has improved since debuting, he’s no longer just a spot monkey. He worked over Rejero before the “Pepsi King” roared back and hit the Pepsi Cutter for the win.
4) Baby J Jamerson and Red Fire vs. Ken Slayer and Kourtney Love: Inter-gender tag action was up next. All involved looked good espically when Jamerson and Slayer faced off. The heels took the heat building it up before Slayer and Love took then down, Slayer hitting the Sling Blade for the win.
5) Duke Parkland vs. Jet Jaguar: Big match to lead into the break between two of SNW young talents. Jaguar has a bright future in SNW and is expecting to win singles titles sometime this year. Meanwhile, Duke shows great promise when in singles matches but is currently Duos Champ. This was a fun match which ended when Jag hit the TTM. They shook hands afterwards.
Intermission. Jet Jaguar stayed out after the break to meet and greet the crowd.
6) Mockingbird and Taliah Winters vs. Parkland Family: Intergender 6-person tag welcomed the fans back from the break and the popular Parkland family was in action as Drew, Axel and Rose teamed up. All three suited the tag match as it hides their weakness’s: Drew’s old while Axel and Rose are green. Mockingbird played fantastic heels and beat down youngster Axel. Taliah did well, not just in the ring but telling Reid and Caufiled what to do. The MBirds got the win with the sunset flip/dropkick combo on Axel.
7) SNW: Riley Shamrock vs. Dave Demento: This was a good main event but some fans were disappointed that it wasn’t a great match. The reason for the let-down is probably because both men were holding back. This was a first time match and with both men being young men they are bout to have a big SNW feud down the line, so they didn’t want to spoil it. The match went back and forth several times with Riley hitting the Irish Welcoming II, Demento missing the punt kick and Riley locking in the Ode to Shamrock briefly. It was the Irish Welcoming that allowed Riley to retain. |

Be the Best UpdateTwo shows down, one to go. Who are leading their respective blocks and whose tournament is already over? BLOCK AJordan Devine [3] Cody Rejero [2] Daniel Sinn [3] Matt Spade [0] Summary: BLOCK A is still open with three possible block winners. Matt Spade is the only man already out the tournament. The final night matches will decide who the block winner is: Jordan Devine vs. Cody Rejero / Daniel Sinn vs. Matt Spade. BLOCK BAce Bennett [4] Jet Jaguar [2] Matt Joseph [0] Jason Williams [2] Summary: There is a clear leader of BLOCK B but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Ace will be the Block leader. Jaguar and Jason could still take the Block to a tiebreaker. Final night matches are: Ace Bennett vs. Jason Williams / Jet Jaguar vs. Matt Joseph. BLOCK CDave Demento [1] Jack Joseph [0] Jack Powers [3] Safu [4] Summary: The Samoan Savage leads the way in BLOCK C. But he will battle Jack Powers on the final night, a loss for Safu here would surrender the Block to Powers. Both Demento and Joseph are already eliminated: Jack Powers vs. Safu / Dave Demento vs. Jack Joseph. BLOCK DMike Bockwinkel [4] Carson Clark [0] Kevin Hart [4] LyNN [0] Summary: Out of all the Blocks, BLOCK D is the most interesting, you have two men fighting it out not to be left without a point and the other two men battling to be undefeated Block leader. This is gonna rock: Mike Bockwinkel vs. Kevin Hart / Carson Clark vs. LyNN |

Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen Weekend – Night 2
Be the Best Qualifying – Night 2
1) BLOCK A: Cody Rejero vs. Matt Spade: Both men lost last night, so they were both looking to get their first points. Fans enjoyed this affair which had a bit of comedy thrown in which included the Sonic Screwdriver. Cody hit the Pepsi Cutter for the win.
2) BLOCK A: Jordan Devine vs. Daniel Sinn: With both men picking up the wins last night they were both looking to become the Block A leader going into the final night. Despite being heel versus heel the fans got into this. The final few minutes were stellar but the match went to a 20 minute time limit.
3) Cameron Stone, Baby J Jamerson and Cain Jackal vs. Joseph Stone, Ken Slayer and El Hijo de Angel Custodio: Stone and Slayer have beef with Joseph’s dad Cameron and his protégé Baby J but there was the added element here was Jackal and El Hijo. They wasn’t given long, which is probably good considering the inexperience. Cam and Baby J left Jackal face a Stun Gun from Slayer and a Moonsault from Joe Stone.
4) BLOCK B: Jet Jaguar vs. Jason Williams: Jag lost his first match last night while Jason picked up his first points and was looking to continue it here. This match surprisingly didn’t last long. Jag surprised Jason with a small package reversal from a Physcho Driver.
5) BLOCK B: Ace Bennett vs. Matt Joseph: Joseph was hoping to follow Jag by picking up his first points and break Block B wide open. However, Ace dominated. Matt played a fantastic underdog but the first ever Triple Crown Champ was too hot to handle. The Syracuse Drop had Matt tapping.
6) The Fatality Squad vs. AirDevils vs. Mockingbird: Fun three corner tag match, nothing we haven’t seen before. Everyone knew there was going to be one outcome, Squad wins to set up a title rematch. The MBirds were the highlight, since turning heel they’ve been great. But the Squad did indeed pick up the win following the Ball and Chain.
7) BLOCK C: Jack Joseph vs. Jack Powers: In this battle of the Jacks both men were looking for their first win, however, Powers had one point from his draw last night. Lots of fun action. Powers tried to keep the highflyer grounded but Joseph kept exploding from offence. Powers locked in the Half Crab and didn’t let go. Joseph had to tap.
Intermission. Jet Jaguar was out at the break. However, near the end of the break Jason Williams came out and the two had a shouting match. They then started brawling and had to be pulled apart.
8) BLOCK C: Dave Demento vs. Safu: Big hard hitting bout to welcome the fans back from the break. SNW doesn’t usually do all out brawls but when they do Safu is usually involved. Demento busted Safu’s eyebrow so that he bled over his eye. But Demento took the Samoan on at his own game and failed to get the win, falling to the Samoan Drop.
9) BLOCK D: Mike Bockwinkel vs. LyNN: A complete change of pace, a good technical encounter. The only problem was these two were both heels. However, the fans got behind the match booing both men. A fun spot was when they had a strike exchange and both men’s shots were boo’ed. Bock went two wins from two with the Bockwinkel Special.
10) BLOCK D: Carson Clark vs. Kevin Hart: It’s really strange to see Clark headlining two shows in a row. It’s not like he’s being built up or anything, maybe they are trying to build him back up to what he was before injury (as FUSE Champ when he beat Bennett). But no-one can doubt Clark and his in ring abilities, there is a reason he is called ‘the fastest wrestler in the world’. Hart had trouble containing him and the two had a very good match, better than last nights main event. The match finishes just before the time limit when Clark springboarded in but Hart caught the legs and locked in a Sharpshooter for the submission victory. |
