Awful reffing /linesman. Shame Brazil won, they were poor, wanted Columbia to score to draw it up. At least Rodriguez scored, he's a talent. So was Pogba, he looks class for someone so young. An awful game though (Germany/France). Hoping the Germans go over Brazil. Role on tomorrow.

Absoulte class goal by James Rodriguez. That and the Brazil/Chile game is exactly what we need after what that Uruguayan vampire did (can't believe people are defending him, anyway I'm finished talking about him). Looking forward to seeing Holland/Mexico. I think everyone is expecting Costa Rica/Greece to be bad, so I'm hoping they prove everyone wrong.

It's meant to be an Attitude Era Theme, starting with The Rumble in 2001 but with tons of new and current talent fitting into storylines. For example: Kurt Angle bringing in the Shield to be his personal security (like team Angle). Other guys would just fit in like Punk and Danielson. Yea, while that is a good idea, it doesn't fit in with the "realism" of Sims. Sounds more like Fantasy Booking. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/234559/sims-board-faq-rules-guidebookHere's the link to the Sims guidebook. It's honestly a good read to see how things go. Agreed with Hart. If your going to be doing 2001, your going to have to stick to that timescale. Use the roster that's available and book realistically.

I'm thinking of converting my Pic Fed to a Word... Fed. Any input or thoughts? Link in my sig. Yeah, welcome to the board. Go for it. The only thing I would say is it would have to be realistic. When I did a bit of pic fedding, the thing about it was that you'd just make your own company and have anyone on your roster. I only looked at the first few pages of your fed (great layout BTW) so I don't know what you do roster-wise, but it would have to be set in a certain timescale with the wrestlers that were in the company at that time. If you need any help just ask here or PM me. Good luck.

BE THE BEST 2015 Live from Alexandra Palace in London, England only on SNW Player NEXT SHOW
Be the Best Semi-Finals
BLOCK C WINNER: Riley Shamrock vs. BLOCK A WINNER: Jack Powers
BLOCK B WINNER: Safu vs. BLOCK D WINNER: Kevin Hart It started with 16 competitors, now we’re down to 4. Who will leave the winner of the 2015 edition of Be the Best and challenge for the SNW World Championship at Riot Act 8? These four men will face-off in two semi-finals before the winners meet in the main event.
SNW World Championship Mike Bockwinkel vs. Mike Hogan ‘The Joker in the Pack’ returns home. Last year, he returned to London with the SNW World title but this year he returns to challenge for the title. Can the Englishman regain his gold?
Battle of the Stables Revolution X (Chris Hammers and Jordan Devine) vs. Team Bennett (Ace Bennett and Matt Spade) Revolution X have always been the biggest and baddest stables in SNW. They’ve fought off threats from the likes of the Gentlemen’s Club and the United Front. Are Team Bennett just another name on the list or can they beat the longest running stable?
Duos Championships Fatality Squad (Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann) vs. Joseph Brothers (Jack Joseph and Matt Joseph) The Squad ran through everyone at Clash of the Duos last year and have continued their dominance into 2015. Can the re-united Joseph brothers stop them?
No Rules Grudge Match Daniel Sinn vs. Nick Jacobs These two old vets first met in Ohio where Sinn cheated to win. When they met again in Holland, Jacobs cheated to win. Now they meet for the third time and cheating is ‘not only allowed, it’s encouraged’.
SNW Women’s Championship Wasp vs. Beast Kong Kong first laid down the title challenge at Clash of the Duos last year, when she attacked the champion. She has had to wait a while but now she has her shot. Can she become the 3rd ever SNW Women’s Champ?
Six-Man Action AirDevils vs. Knife Fight and Jason Williams In Wales (the place where seven years ago the AirDevils were founded) the AirDevils stopped themselves and Knife Fight from challenging for the Duos titles. Now they meet in six-man action with highflyers Carson Clark and Jason Williams added to the mix.
Pepsi King vs. Viral Sensation Cody Rejero vs. Dave Demento Demento became an internet sensation in his rant in Scotland. Now the self proclaimed ‘Man of a Thousand Words’ will challenge the fans’ favourite. Who will come out on top?
Countdown to London Be the Best Pre-show
Mockingbird vs. Parkland Bros
LyNN vs. Drew Parkland
Amy Lee vs. Kourtney Love
Cameron Stone and Baby J Jamerson vs. Jacob Ryler and Noah Lee
El Hijo de Angel Custodio vs. Joseph Stone
Videos
SNW has posted four videos on their website of the Be the Best Semi-Finalists.
Jack Powers is backstage in front of a white background.
Powers: It’s been a bit of a journey recently. I messed up with the United Front but luckily the great fans have taken me back. Now I’m finding my way back to the top. I want to win that title as a thank you to the fans, for supporting me, for showing your faith in me. But in order to get that shot I’ve have to go through two men. One of which, is a man who I’ve grown close to in the past year, Riley Shamrock. Riley is a fantastic competitor and there’s no other guy I’d want fighting by my side. But Riley, it won’t stop me from making you tap in London. Be the Best 2015 is mine.
Kevin Hart is wearing a SNW tracksuit in gym.
Hart: ‘Anarchy in the UK’ that’s exactly what it’s going to be when SNW comes to London. We’ve had a fantastic tour so far and we’ve put on some great matches and London won’t be any different. See, Be the Best is different to everything else, it really does decide who the best is. It also gives the winner a guaranteed title shot. So it doesn’t matter whether Bockwinkel or Hogan walk out with the belt, I will be challenging for the title. I got unfinished business with both of you.
Chris Hammers is sat on a bench in a locker-room.
Hammers: Let me tell you about Safu. The man is a Samoan savage, he’s been a part of Revolution X since the very beginning and is a three time Duos Champion, with three different partners. But you already know that. What you don’t really know is that Safu is a great singles competitor. He hasn’t really had the chance to show that in SNW but you’ve had a taste, just a taste, of what he can do in the qualifying for Be the Best. Now he’s in the final four and he’s going to go all the way. I know he can do it, and more importantly, he knows he can do it.
Riley Shamrock is standing in front of the London Eye.
Riley: What does it take to be a champion? Let me count the ways: courage, heart, determination, fight, resolve, intelligence, resilience. What does it take to win at Be the Best? That’s a simple one. You just gotta be better than everyone else. I will prove that in London. I will win Be the Best and go onto Riot Act to become the first man to hold both the FUSE title and the SNW World title. So, what does it take to Be the Best? Well, you’ll find out in London.

Cardiff, Wales Be the Best Tiebreaker
1) Joseph Brothers vs. Knife Fight vs. AirDevils vs. Parkland Bros: The show opened in the best possible way, four way tag action. The action was thick and fast and the fans loved it. The match ended after stereo dives from the Devils took both Knife Fight and themselves out of the match. Which allowed the Joseph’s to hit the DVD/Pele kick for the win.
Big surprise for the crowd as hometown hero and SNW part-owner Red Dragon made his way out. There was already a tombola in the ring. He pulled out the draw for the 2015 Be the Best Semi-Final:
BLOCK C WINNER: Riley Shamrock vs. BLOCK A WINNER: Jordan Devine / Jack Powers
BLOCK B WINNER: Safu vs. BLOCK D WINNER: Kevin Hart / Jason Williams
Dragon said that the night has more surprises, but as for the Be the Best, we will decide one of the two tiebreakers right now.
2) BLOCK D: Kevin Hart vs. Jason Williams: Great match between these two Canadians. Jason has improved so much since going to Japan and it showed here against the second Triple Crown Champion. There was lots of good action and Jason’s spots really had the crowd continually standing. His 630 almost got the win but Hart somehow managed to kick out and later make the former FUSE Champ tap out with the Sharpshooter.
Kevin Hart offered to held Jason up post match but Jason refused and limped to the back.
3) Mockingbird vs. Cameron Stone and Baby J Jamerson: This was an odd match but told a good story, the young highflyers controlled against Jamerson but couldn’t get a move in against Stone. Despite the ‘Canadian Gangstas’ dominance, Mockingbird hit the Sunset Flip/Dropkick combo for the win.
4) Cody Rejero vs. Daniel Sinn: This was a good singles match to break up all the multi-man matches. Cody was well loved and Sinn plays a great heel. He built the crowd up well until eventually Cody got all the control and hit a Pepsi Driver for the win.
The Duos Champions, the Fatality Squad of Bret Thomas and Steven Kagemann came to the ring and bragged about their dominance in the tag division. Then Red Dragon’s brothers and former SNW roster members, the Kineval Brothers made their entrance. At the entrance Sam Kineval berated Thomas and Kagemann, challenging them to a title match.
5) DUOS: Fatality Squad vs. Kineval Brothers: Despite the home support of the Kineval brothers (for once playing faces) the challengers struggled to deal with the champions, as have all who have gone up against them. The Welsh brothers did get some offence in but they fell, like all others, to the Ball and Chain (Pop-up Doomsday).
6) Carson Clark vs. Jet Jaguar vs. El Hijo de Angel Custodio vs. Noah Lee: Some four-way action to continue the show in Cardiff. The action was fast and was a lot like the opener. Clark and Jag were the highlight. So it was no surprise to see Jag take the win with the TTM on El Hijo.
7) Wasp and Rose Parkland vs. Beast Kong and Alicia Bennett: It was announced on the website before tonight that Kong would finally be getting her title shot in London, so this served as build for that. Kong and Wasp were kept apart until the end where Kong floored the champ. Kong then hit the Sitdown Powerbomb on Rose for the win.
8) Dave Demento vs. Nick Jacobs: Demento didn’t get on the mic, which the fans were disappointed about. It didn’t stop them from chanting ‘F***tard’ thoughout the match. Jacobs was a step up in terms of Demento’s opponents and his first big chance to show off in SNW. He did well and Jacobs looked good too. Nick looked like his experience would earn him the win but then Daniel Sinn interfered. This allowed Dave to hit the shoot punt kick which he has taken to calling the F***tard.
Demento then exited, happy at gaining quite a big scalp. Sinn re-entered to grab a mic and cut a promo on Nick. Sinn said they first met in Ohio where Sinn won thanks to some ‘questionable tactics’, then they met again in Holland where Jacobs used Sinn’s cheating tricks against him. Sinn proposed a final rubber match between the two, where ‘cheating is not only allowed, it is encrouraged’.
Intermission. Jet Jaguar and Noah Lee was out at the break to meet and greet the fans. Jag was telling fans that he won’t be appearing in London as he is flying out to Japan after the show tonight.
9) Team Bennett vs. Revolution X: Ace Bennett and Chris Hammers have been feuding lately and it all started in Holland, since then they have cost each other wins in Be the Best and now find themselves on opposite sides of the ring, accompanied by Matt Spade and LyNN respectively. They held a lot back here, since they’ll have bigger matches on bigger shows. RevX are usually known for their interference wins but it was used against them here, as Alicia caused the distraction allowing Team Bennett to take control and the team to hit the Bearhug/Busaki Knee for the win.
10) BLOCK A: Jordan Devine vs. Jack Powers: This was the final Block decider for Be the Best 2015, the winner of which will go to London to face FUSE Champion Riley Shamrock. The match itself was a great one, and reminisant of when Devine challenged Powers to a title match at ‘Devine Challenge’. It was a technical encounter where Powers could really show off his masterfully submissions and counters. Meanwhile, Devine played the heel and although he could lock up well with Powers, it didn’t stop him from using some cheating to stay in control. Powers focused in on the arm at the mid-point and the tactic worked, he hit a suplex then in mid-air transitioned into a Russian Armbar for the submission win.
11) Riley Shamrock and Mike Hogan vs. Mike Bockwinkel and Safu: This match pitted the World Champion and his challenger on opposite sides of the ring, they were alongside the two men who had already qualified for the Be the Best Semi-Finals and possible final opponents. However, the match didn’t last too long about 5 minutes in Safu walked out on Bock.
Riley and Hogan were a wondering what to do but they quickly made their mind up as Cameron Stone and Baby J Jamerson ran out to protect the champion. This led to a brawl where the faces managed to chuck the heel group from the ring. They circled and went to enter until ‘Scream Aim Fire’ hit and Red Dragon showed up on the entrance way in ring gear. He said Riley and Hogan needed a partner and he was happy to oblige.
11b) Red Dragon, Riley Shamrock and Mike Hogan vs. Mike Bockwinkel, Cameron Stone and Baby J Jamerson: Dragon was basically added to this because it’s in his hometown, so the pop he received was huge. He was kept apart from Bock because that feud has been done to death but he fought well with Stone. Baby J was a bit of a weak link, however the heels did work over Riley before he fought back against Jamerson. Hogan and Dragon then came in and cleared up. Riley then came back in for the finish which was dives from Drag and Riley and Hogan hitting the Futurism on Stone.

Great show Bock, kickass song to kick off. Liking the two ring battle royal opener, it was a little bit confusing with all the people in there, also all the people eliminating themselves WTF? I thought Zeke wasn't out, Jag seems like he gets eliminated by the SST's but then is still in, din't realize Eddy won either, thought it was one of the Japanese dudes, I really don't understand the SST's winning, and why didn't they fight? or at least play rock, paper, scissors, Young Luka winning is the wrong call I'd say even if he's a temp champ, if your going for a temp champ go heel, that way when Zeke wins its a big cheer from the audience, the way he won was amusing, wonder if you'll keep the comedy up or more interestingly you make him a serous competitor, another mulitman right away? could have thrown in a singles match, Kitty was the one I least suspected to win but you could have gone anyway, looking forward to how you continue your women's division, Safu winning was good, write up seemed a little short, if your going to do shorter write ups you need to explain in the write up that more happened in the match, otherwise if only what you wrote in the write up happened it would be under 10 mins, could do with one or two more matches on the card, I know all the matches are supposed to be long but still, Wargames sounded sick, massive write up, I love it, lots of detail and a great story, when I write Warfare, I usually do the same old story but you rejigged it good here with the faces always getting a fightback, Tyger went over huge in this, he carried on fighting right till the end, Dragon came out looking good too, not so much with Cody and Kevin, Safu turning really means a lot and I can't wait to see what you got in store now, hopefully you don't just brush this under the carpet, it's a big win and should change the setting of TCW.

So Man Utd signed Luke Shaw for £30mil (including bonus'). No doubt he's a good young player. But hasn't Evra signed a contact extension? I just don't see the point. Especially when there's plenty of areas Utd need improving first. The only thing I can think of, is moving him forward into midfield, I wonder how he'd cope there.

I thought we had one of these every year. Maybe it's too early for A-Level and GCSE peeps but all the Uni grades are either out or out in the next few days.
Basically I just posted because I wanted to brag, got a First Class Honours in English with Law. Plus, I realise that this will be the last time I post in one of these threads. I'm not going to go on to do a Masters and it doesn't look like I'm going to do a teaching degree (to teach in a Primary school in Wales you need a B in GCSE Maths, I mean what the hell? I had a History teacher teaching me Maths back then, if I knew it would effect me later on I would have paid attention). So, my academic life has come to an end, no more exams or coursework. Into the real world I go.
Enough about me, how did everyone else do?

Great to see you back Shifty. This is a great time to be doing a diary. Interesting that the belt didn't go on Edge, but I like it, it's unique. Write ups are great, layout is clean too. Lots of interesting feuds emerging but I'd be most interested with what you do with Edge. Tista being injured also opens up new possibilities. Looking forward to see how this continues.

Just watched Bucks vs. Time Splitters thanks to you guys. Awesome match, marked out for some of the moves in the final stretch. Why did they get trophies afterwards? I'm guessing Ricochet/Ibushi is worth checking out.

What the hell is Roy on about? The game was rubbish, England was rubbish.
And I hope Suarez gets banned for the rest of the tournament and then moves to another league. Absolute disgrace, why?

Alt:Pro Presents: The Follow Up
Vincent Fury opened the show, walking out to the ring and taking the microphone. He told the crowd (which was slightly larger than the last show) that Alt:Pro is his and his tag partners promotion. He continued to put himself over until one of the young trainees showed up, Dane Warron. Fury laughed then said if Dane really wanted to fight then he got one.
1) Vincent Fury vs. Dane Warron: What an opener, this is how you put over your young talent. Fury is probably the biggest name in this promotion and tonight he made 17 year old Warron look like a star. The match was reminisant of Daniel Bryan’s first match on NXT versus Chris Jericho. Warron would not stay down, the youngster even hit an Asai Moonsault to the floor. The fans were all over Warron and it took interference from Fury’s tag partner to steal the match. Arsenic jumped on the apron, Dane missed a punch and turned into a Fury Strike.
Mega boos post match, fans really wanted Warron to win. Fury and Arsenic went to leave but then went back to ‘teach him a lesson’. They began beating the trainee down before Matt ran down for the save. Tonight’s main event is Matt versus Arsenic.
2) Antonio Benitez vs. DJ Hughes: These two met in a three way at the last show but neither man got the win. The match was a let-down from such a hot opener and never really went anywhere. Benitez hit some basic lucha spots to get the crowd going and hit the Supercanrana (top rope rana) to take the win.
3) Arthur Williams and Rory Wiseman vs. Nate Ryan and Tobias Black: Another two trainees were in action as the best friends from Detroit took on the team that lost to the Blaze brothers on the last event. Williams and Wiseman were in control for much of the match but the highlight was the youngsters fighting back. The comeback wasn’t long but the fans took to them quickly, so when Tobias hit a flip piledriver the crowd exploded. Despite this, the Englishman and the Scotsman won when Arthur hit Excalibur.
4) Twisted Assassin vs. Pablo ‘Speedy’ Gonzalez: Much like Assassin’s first match last time, this was just an utter squash. Again, Assassin looked fantastic and the fans have really taken to him. The young trainee Pablo didn’t stand a chance. He got one bit of offence in, a few strikes (which Assassin no sold), then he went to the top and hit a SSP but Assassin just punched him in mid air. Assassin’s moveset is what gets him over: stiff strikes, Undertaker’s Old School and a sick Yakuza Kick. He finished off Pablo with the Assassin’s Fury which is a torture rack into a piledriver.
Christopher Kennedy Jones came out to the ring and cut a basic ‘I’m better than you because I got more money' promo. He was interrupted by Kris Havok whose promo was a little too theatrical. Havok then struck Jones and the two brawled about the arena. Havok took control with the Reapers Touch which is an Enziguri. With CKJ stunned. Havok powerbombed him through the merch table. Despite the slow start, the fans enjoyed this segment.
5) Patrick R. Everson vs. Jake Swindell: Again, this was another match that shows that Alt:Pro know what they are doing with their trainees. Everson picked up the win last time in what many called the best match on the card against Ron Crockett. This time the ‘Ultimate Jock’ was up against 19 year-old Swindell. Fans were supporting Everson early on but as the match wore on, the fans started to chant for Swindell. There’s something about the young trainee that makes him likeable. Highlight was Swindell trying a dive to the floor, Everson catching him and launching him into the crowd. That spelt the end for the youngster as he soon fell to the Havard Hangover.
Post match, Everson raised Swindell’s arm in a good show of sportsmanship. Much like the opener and the tag match, the loss has only made Swindell stronger.
Intermission. Everson stayed out at the break but then was attacked by Ron Crockett (these two met on the first show with Everson winning). Crockett dragged Everson into the ring and then put on a ‘performance’ of different submission holds. Everson was later helped to the back.
6) Vincent Valintino vs. Phenom: Both these men won on the last show and were hoping to continue that momentum into tonight. Valintino is a highflyer while Phenom works more like former TNA/ROH wrestler Homicide. It was a decent enough match but nothing special. Fans couldn’t get behind Valintino but Phenom got a good reaction for the UFO (Top rope Pedigree).
After the match Alexander Kuleshov showed up again and hit Phenom with a bicacle kick. He then put Valintino in the corner and pounded him with strikes before hitting a pumphandle slam into the middle of the ring. Phenom tried to brawl with Kuleshov but was shoved away then lariated. Kuleshov then locked in the Triangle Hold to put Phenom out cold.
7) Lloyd Blaze and Max Blaze vs. Tom Felix and D.J Falcon: Odd placement on this tag match and an odd teaming of Felix and DJ. The two didn’t work together well, so it was up to the Blaze brothers to carry the match. The brothers did so to a respectable standard. They finished off the match with the T-Bone Suplex (Lloyd) and the Corkscrew Moonsault Leg-drop (Max).
8) Johnny Arsenic vs. Matt: The main event, like last times, was a little bit of a letdown. The fans were spoiled with the opener and the match before intermission, so they felt this was a bit lackluster. However, this wasn’t the fault of Matt, who is really showing his main event qualities. Unlike previous matches, the face (Matt) was thoroughly in control and his dominant and powerful moveset earned him the fans approval. The heel, Arsenic struggled to deal with big bad Matt and had to resort to cheating to stay in the match. Arsenic’s tag partner, Fury was at ringside and fans even (albeit briefly) started chanting for trainee Dane Warron, who got beat by Fury earlier. Matt managed to hook Arsenic for the Double Underhook Powerbomb then attacked Fury on the apron, then dumped Arsenic for the win.
Matt celebrated but was cut down by Fury. The two-on-one attack continued and the fans chanted a little for Warron again. Then ‘F***ing Hostile’ played and SNW athlete, AJ Matthews ran out. He fought off both members of the Fire and the Fury and sent them running. AJ then took off his hoodie to reveal a Alt:Pro T-shirt. He’s the newest roster member, he celebrated with Matt to close out the show. Fans enjoyed the shock.
FINAL THOUGHTS: This show gives us a clearer indication of the direction the company wants to go in. The main eventers are really starting to take shape and the addition of AJ Matthews may give the company a big boost. However, the most notable news out of this show is the trainees. It’s clear that Alt:Pro have big plans for their six inital trainees and if they continue to treat them the way they have on this first show, they’ll be stars in no time.

Yeah I agree with what you said. Stick to the weekly PPVs, no point in doing impacts and sunday PPVs. You have improved TNA a lot but still no X Division. That was always my highlight of early days TNA. I also prefer the company with AJ as the face, I just didn't like Low Ki as the top guy, AJ's feud with Daniels is great, AJ should win and continue his reign. Punl/Raven has been going on for ages, seems like your going to end it in dramatic fashion. Abyss coming back is awesome, could be the next title contender after AJ but it seems as if he's going into a feud with Storm which should also be fun. Good luck and keep this up.

What a set of games yesterday: Belgium scoring late after Hazard finally kicked on, Korea going all Stoke long ball (was hoping for an almighty comeback, even at 4 down. They could have, if they took their chances) and of course, the USA/Portugal match. Fair play to USA for nearly getting the win. It's like the commentators said though, they suck at possession and they're not good enough to just soak up the pressure. Portugal were poor, how many times was Ronaldo clear and a teammate not find him, they were simple passes at times too. Ronaldo does look injured, he's walking everywhere and just passing it off when he gets it short. However, the one bit of quality all game gave them the draw, so fair play.

What a game between France and the Swiss. Why the hell would the referee blow the whistle when a cross came in? Awful reffing throughout the tournament. France look the team to beat at the moment, and as others said, I'm looking forward to seeing Argentina and Germany to see how they do. Maybe we shouldn't count out Brazil yet. They may not have looked good but when it comes to the knock out rounds they could just scrape by and find themselves in the final. I don't think anyone is counting Brazil out, but there are multiple teams that have looked better. Maybe not counting out, overlooking would be a better word.
