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.

It's funny because I've never put a bet on in my life. Seriously considering it but I should have started at the group stages. Because the knockout rounds is going to be more unpredictable (if Spain going out, Germany putting 4 past Portugal and Costa Rica winning was predictable).

Spain going out early just adds to what is already a great World Cup. I predicted them in the final too. Costa didn't manage a shot on target in either game. No doubt he's a good player but he just wasn't match fit. Spain probably would have done better if they stuck to their false 9 role. Costa messed up Athletico winning the CL and now Spain in the WC (Yeah, there are plenty of other factors but we all like pointing a finger at one man).

From a non-English point of view, I'd say those 10 teams would beat England. England can be very poor but in fairness they did look good against Italy.
As I've said before I'm loving the World Cup. The Brazil opener, Dutch trashing, England/Italy, Ivory Coast 3 mins turn around, late Swiss goal, there's just so much good action. Missed two matches so far, Chile and Argentina's wins. So I missed the Messi magic. Can't believe the second round of fixtures start tomorrow. Soon it will be all over for another 4 years. Get's depressing when you think where you'll be in 4 years time.

They had a good comedy connections of the Young Ones on after the Bottom episode too. I think I preferred Young Ones to Bottom. Everything Rik said in the interview just made me love him more. There was a good article too on the BBC website about Rik and his effect on politics. Worth a read for anyone interested. He defiantly made a big change, not just in comedy but in the UK as a whole. In the interview, they said how the Young Ones were treated like rock stars.

Manchester, England Be the Best Night 3 Qualifying
1) BLOCK A: Jordan Devine vs. Drew Parkland: This was a fun opener, fans loved Daddy Drew and hated Devine. Typical opener which ended with the Devinity on Drew. Putting the pressure on Powers for later. 2) BLOCK B: Carson Clark vs. Nick Jacobs: Another good match, fans liked both men but Clark’s highflying won them over. Clark looked good but still isn’t back to what he was before injury, he fell to the Jacobs Drop.
3) Knife Fight vs. Joseph Brothers: These two teams have faced off twice before with each team getting one win each, so this was the rubber match. It also had the added bonus of being a no.1 contenders match. Lots of good action in this one, fans loved both sides despite Jackal and Static playing heel. Knife Fight narrowly lost out after a Death Valley Driver/Pele on Zakk.
4) BLOCK C: LyNN vs. Daniel Sinn: This was a heel vs. heel match so the fans weren’t totally into it. Sinn got the win over the ‘technical machine’ with the Original Sinn.
5) BLOCK D: Jet Jaguar vs. Jason Williams: This was a fun and fast highflying bout with the fans loving Jaguar. But Jason has improved so much since being in Japan and got the win with the Psycho Driver.
“Ready to Fall” by Rise Against hit and Dave Demento made his way out, wearing a black t-shirt with the word ‘F***tard written on it. The fans started chanting the phrase and Demento entered the ring, grabbing a mic. He then ripped his T-Shirt and stood on it. He then started speaking:
“What? Do you really think I give a f*** what you guys think. Yeah, do ahead Tweet it, take a picture and Instragram it. I don’t care what you do. But all this new found glory, all this media attention, has it changed me? Has it F***? I’m the same guy, what has changed is you f***s. See, you all saw me rant on some paraplegic in Scotland and jumped on the Demento bandwagon. Well f*** you, f*** the lot of you. Where were you all when I was busting my a** on the undercard heh? No-where. Suddenly Demento gets some media attention and you all want to be my best friend. You know what, f*** the lot of you. You bunch of f***ing f***tards!
6) Dave Demento vs. Tom Gerard: This was a fun match, Gerard got a little bit of stick from the Manc’s because he’s from Liverpool but was mainly cheered. He put up a good fight against Dave but in the end fell to the punt kick to cheers of ‘F***tard’.
7) BLOCK A: Jack Powers vs. Cody Rejero: Great match to lead into the break. Powers threw everything at the ‘Pepsi King’ to be able to tie the block up but Cody would not die easily. Just before the time limit Cody got locked in the Choke Out and passed out.
Intermission. The AirDevils were out at the break to entertain the fans.
8) BLOCK B: Safu vs. Matt Spade: Utter squash, Safu destroyed Spade in under a minute. As a result Safu tops his block.
Ace Bennett came out and talked about Chris Hammers but then he said he’d deal with him another time and called out Riley Shamrock. Riley said he’s got beef with Hammers too but he’s focusing on one thing at a time starting with Ace. Ace said ‘you putting the title on the line too, I wouldn’t mind another’.
9) BLOCK C: FUSE: Riley Shamrock vs. Ace Bennett: These two have faced off before but it never seems quite right. Mainly because they are holding something back, possibly for a future bout. They did the same here. They stalled about before LyNN ran in causing distraction, this allowed Hammers to hit a Lariat on Ace. The referee didn't see it, neither did Riley, so Riley got the win with an Irish Welcoming II.
10) DUOS: Fatality Squad vs. Mockingbird: The young highflyers were challenging for the titles here and had a very tough task. Kagemann and Thomas dominated, as you would expect. There was a brief Mockingbird comeback but the Squad retained after hitting the Ball and Chain (Pop-up Doomsday)
11) BLOCK D: Chris Hammers vs. Kevin Hart: This was a good main event, as you would predict from these former SNW World Champions. Fans were fully behind Hart hoping for him to pick up the two points to tie the block up with Jason Williams. However, as the match got towards the time limit Ace Bennett ran out when the referee was down. Ace blasted Hammers with a knee and left. This allowed Hart to get the win after hitting a 450 Splash and locking in a Sharpshooter.

Agreed. Great match. Ricochet is incredible, he should take the title.

Don't post EWR/TEW results. We've all seen them a million times before. Write something yourself, it doesn't have to be long. A sentence or two will do. Good luck and if you need anything else just ask here or PM me.

Awful news. He is such a legend. Everything he done he was great in: Bottom, New Statesman, Blackadder, the list is almost endless. Had so much still to give. RIP.

Synergy Issue #9 St Patrick’s Day Special in Newcastle, England
Drew Parkland made his way out to the ring with a brand new championship belt. It had the company’s logo as the base of the belt, the two fist smashing together in the middle. Parkland said over this show and the next show we will decide the three men who will compete for the title at the 2nd Anniversary show. He announced that tonight Dave Demento will face Jet Jaguar (F***tard chants started up, so much for it being family friendly), while Daniel Sinn will face Jacob Ryler next time. A battle royal will be held on the next show for the final spot. 1) Parkland Bros vs. Noah Lee and Joseph Stone: Decent tag match to open, the Parkland’s were loved and Lee got some chants since he’s from England. It was a little bit sloppy in parts but the fans didn’t mind, all are young and improving. Duke hit the KFC for the win.
Baby J Jamerson came out and took the mic, he did a basic promo about the British (ie bad teeth etc) but was boo’ed so loud you couldn’t hear him. Jacob Ryler made the save.
2) Jacob Ryler vs. Baby J Jamerson: Ryler is usually heel in Synergy but since this is the first Synergy in the UK (Ryler is Scottish) he played face. Ryler got lots of funny chants to do with Scotland and their attempted independence. Ryler carried Baby J well and the youngster might have a bright future but he still fell to the Higher We Go.
3) Drew and Rose Parkland vs. Zakk Static and Red Fire: This was the first time the wrestlers noticed the fans, they weren’t the family friendly as they are in the states, their a drunken bunch of wrestling fans. Drew acknowledged this, drinking beer and getting them all cheering. Zakk played a great heel, he’s got great charisma and got them hating them. Fire stole the win with a moonsault for the win.
4) “El Hijo Nature Boy” Pedro Flair vs. Masked Marvel: The whole arena was whooooing throughout this entire match, they even started singing Ric Flair’s music, which is funny since it has no words. A great atmosphere for a funny match. Marvel got some stick too, he got a ‘Your not Matt Classic chant’. Flair locked in the Figure Four to get the win, cue the whooing.
5) Cody Rejero and Baz Hepburn vs. Mockingbird: Usually in Synergy the wrestlers tone down their style for the family friendly audience but with a rowdy wrestling crowd in these four just decided to go for it. Cody and Baz got the crowd on their side well, they are always well loved, they got a ‘Your Mom’ chant on their into and decided to do their Degeneration X/Your Mom intro. Mockingbird played cocky heels which was fun to see since their usually faces. Lots of good action in this one, Mockingbird looking especially like heel Young Bucks. However, Baz hit the Bazuka and Cody hit the Pepsi Driver for stereo pin falls.
Intermission. All three male Parkland’s were out at the break to take and take photos with fans and more importantly, drink.
6) Daniel Sinn vs. Cain Jackal: A good match to welcome the fans back from the break. The fans were a little rowdy to begin with but these two worked a good match to calm them down. Cain played a great heel, a bit of a monster but not in size just strength, think Michael Elgin. He also has great speed for a bigger guy and could do something in the future. The crowd turned on Sinn, and started cheering Jackal. The match went back and forth until Cain missed the Spear and Sinn hit the Original Sinn for the 3 count. He was boo’ed.
What’s the best way of getting nuclear heat in Newcastle? Wear a Sunderland soccer shirt. That’s exactly what Demento did. It’s a cheap way to get heat but it worked perfectly. He tried getting on the mic but no-one could hear him. Demento even had stuff thrown at him, so he climbed the ropes and continued on the mic, ‘you might not want to hear this, but this is the truth’. Luckily before a full scale riot ensured, Jet Jaguar ran out.
7) SYN: Dave Demento vs. Jet Jaguar: Despite now establishing himself as a mega heel, Demento still got some chants and cheers, most notably the ‘F***tard’ chant that went on throughout the match. Jag was still face and cheered. The match itself was a fun back and forth contest. They must have been told before the match to go for a proper match because they did. Demento brought his stiffness and Jag replied with his own kicks that lit up Dave’s tatoo’ed body. This may possibly top the best matches in Synergy, as these two know each other well. Demento got his leg on the rope from the TTM and after a little bit of cheating he hit the punt kick for the win.

Ribery and now Reus ruled out of World Cup. Gutting was looking forward to see both players. Think Ribery missing will effect France's chances. And although Reus is good, Germany do have some quality players to cover.

Signed up.
Lloris Alba, Mertesacker, Vermalen, Alderweireld Reus, Pogba, Oscar Cavani, Neymar, Dzeko
Bit weak at the back but had to make cut backs to get it under the limit. Just hoping Belgium's group allows the defenders to score some. Should have enough fire power up front. Predicting Neymar to go on a mad one. Did the predictions too, got Brazil/Spain final with Brazil coming out on top.
