ROH
3/9 It is announced that the main event will be for the ROH Tag Team Championship pitting the champions Addiction against W.G.T.T. Then we have our first match. Kevin Steen taking on Roderick Strong. Last month the S.C.U.M. member took it to Roderick and Roderick was looking for some payback. Steen and Strong were going back and forth early but eventually Strong started getting the better of Steen and eventually ended up with the win. After the bell Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino ran in and helped Steen beat down Strong. The next match was between Tommaso Ciampa and Adam Cole. Tommaso showed he is ready to start being taken as a threat to the World title as he defeated Cole who himself had a title shot just a month ago. We then were treated to a solid match between Austin Aries and El Generico. Generico was looking to get on track as a single wrestler since the team of he and Matt Sydal broke up. It would seem Aries would be the wrong guy to do that against but El Generico pulled the upset and beat The Greatest Man That Ever Lived. Then it was time for the main event. The teams went back and forth. When one started to get on a roll the other would counter. Finally Shelton was able to get the pin on Kaz to win the belts for his team. As usual Daniels did not look happy with his tag partner. Could the team of Addiction be in trouble?

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
3/5 The opening match was a rematch between Mil Mascaras and Mr Saito. The last time they faced off it went to a time limit draw. That would not be a problem this time as Mr Saito dominated Mil and just destroyed him in the match. We can not recall seeing Mil Mascaras being manhandled like that. Will he be looking to avenge this loss? Bobo Brazil and Boris Zhukov battled each other next. Boris just was not enough for the strength of Bobo and took the loss. Heenan Family member King Kong Bundy took on Mr X in the next match. As expected Bundy dominated things. Mr X actually tried starting the match by trying to body slam the mountain of a man. Needless to say he failed. The only shocker was after hitting his finisher and getting the 3 count he was arguing with the ref for a 5 count and when the ref finally started to Mr X was able to kick out. He only extended the match a short while as Bundy quickly hit his finisher again and got the 5 count. After the match ended Randy Savage hit the ring and started to attack Bundy. Quickly security ran in to separate them. It seems Savage was looking for some revenge from a couple weeks back. Then it was time for the main event. The Road Warriors defending their titles against Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hillbilly Jim. These teams squared off a month ago and the match ended with the champs getting DQ'd. This time the Warriors were looking to prove their dominance. Duggan and Jim got in some offense but for the most part it was all Road Warriors as they successfully defended their belts. Before the show ends it is announced that the main event next week will be a 6 man tag match between Randy Savage, his father Angelo Poffo and his brother Lanny Poffo against the team of Cowboy Bob Orton, Bruiser Brody and King Kong Bundy. That should be a wild match.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
The show kicks off with Four Horsemen and Jimmy Hart celebrating in the back. Jimmy is talking about how the Hart Foundation had no idea what they were stepping into last week. He set them up and now he gets to manage the greatest faction in professional wrestling. Then a mysterious voice says "guess again punk". Jimmy turns around and the cam pans to reveal JJ Dillon. Jimmy turns to Rogers and asks "what is he doing here". Buddy tells Jimmy to ask him. Jimmy turns back to Dillon and starts to ask when suddenly JJ Dillon hits Jimmy laying him out. Dillon says "I am here because I am the new manager of the Horsemen. At this he and the Four Horsemen start laughing and leave with Jimmy Hart on his back groaning in pain. Where does this leave Jimmy? He turned his back on the Hart Foundation to be part of the Horsemen but they have turned on him. It seems they were just using him.
Action starts with Frank Gotch against Bobby Shane. Bobby dominated early and it looked like Gotch's win streak was over before it even begun. However he fought back and eventually got Bobby to submit to a guillotine choke. After the match we get another promo for this American Starship. It is much like the last one but then screen goes black and the words "The tag division will never be the same" come on screen. So it seems the American Starship will be a new tag team. The next match is the Valiant Brothers vs the team of Playboy Buddy Rose and Bob Roop. It is a decent match that sees the Valiant Brothers picking up the win. The main event is between Horsemen Buddy Rogers and the young buck Magnum T.A. Experience clearly won out here as Buddy controlled though out and picked up the win.
World Champion: Nick Bockwinkel Tag Team Champions: Hamilton Wrecking Crew
ECW
3/7 Show starts with Stevie Richards walking up to Tommy Dreamer in the back. He tells Tommy he has a title shot tonight for Tommy's tag belts and his partner is their old friend. He points behind Tommy who turns around to see a man in torn jeans, t-shirt and leather jacket. Stevie says "hey Tommy ain't ya gonna say hi to Raven?". Raven walks toward them and pushes past Tommy. He and Stevie walk off with Stevie laughing as Tommy just watches on. Then it is to the ring for action. We get the match we were robbed of a few weeks ago as Demolition takes on the Young Bucks. The high flying and agility of the Bucks was not enough to counter the power and ruthlessness of the Demolition. Before long Demolition picked up the win to give them some momentum going into their PPV match with VKM. Speaking of VKM their wrestling manager The Shard was in the next match as he took on Rich Swann. He controlled most of the match and then looked at the camera and pointed to his right eye before hitting the Shard Super Kick to get the win. The next match was between the King of the Trailer Park Jon Moxley and Colt Cabana. Jon simply dominated Colt and garnered the easy win. After the bell he kept on beating on Colt till the ref was finally able to pull him off. The main event was between the champions Sandman and Tommy Dreamer and the challengers the mysterious man from Tommy's past Raven and Stevie Richards. Richards was in the ring for most of the match for his team. The only time Raven got in was when Sandman was weakened a bit. He beat down on Sandman some before tagging out to Stevie. Later in the match Dreamer got in and was dominating Stevie. It looked like he was on the verge of pinning Stevie when suddenly Tina Moretti came to ringside and distracted Tommy. He actually got up before the 3 count and walked up to the rope and stared down and Tina. It looked like he was starting to ask her something when Stevie recovered, hit some offense on Tommy and got the roll up pin. Just like that we had new Tag Team Champions. What is the history between Dreamer and Raven and how does Moretti figure into this.
After the main event we get some short promos from some of the participants of the PPV this coming Sunday. We also get news that Sandman and Dreamer will get a return match for their Tag Titles. Here is the final card for Barely Legal on PPV Sunday 3/13.
- Taz vs RVD for the World Championship in a Falls Count Anywhere match. - Raven and Stevie Richards vs Sandman and Tommy Dreamer for the Tag Team Championship. - Adrian Street vs Necro Butcher in a Weapons match. - VKM vs Demolition. - One Man Gang vs Sabu. - Jon Moxley vs Super Crazy. - Jerry Lynn vs Rich Swann. - Al Snow vs Val Venis.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Raven and Stevie Richards
CHIKARA
3/4 The show begins with the new faction we saw last week in the ring. Amber, the new interviewer, is in the ring with them. She says "the world wants to know so much about you. Who are you? Who are the masked men? Why are you here? What are the plans you have for the seven of you?" Her questions were for Claudio who was standing in front of the group. Claudio slowly grins then lifts the mic in his hand to his face. "Oh my you ARE full of questions aren't you. Well let me see if I can answer them for you. First off, who we are. Well we are Bruderschaft des Schwertes. That is German for Brotherhood of the Sword. We are here for the Eye of Tyr. It was given to Ultramantis Black to use once then to be returned or passed on. However he decided to use it and keep it for himself. Now he has brought us to CHIKARA. He has brought destruction and ruin to CHIKARA. As far as my plans for this group of seven, well first off this group is not made up of seven members. We are nine strong. We just not have revealed all of us. Including the leader of BDS. So you see I have no plans for the group. That is up to our leader who will reveal himself in a bit. But first to answer you question about these masked men." He motions for them to step forward. He points to the bigger of the two. He removes his mask to only reveal another one with horns. "This is our muscle. His name is Tursas. As for the other, I think you know him." With this the other member removes his mask to reveal himself to be Pinkie Sanchez. "Now it is time to meet our leader." He gestures to the entrance and slowly a long haired man with his face down walks thru the curtain. He looks up and it is indy wrestler, and much hyped future of wrestling, Tyler Black. He makes his way to the ring and takes the mic from Claudio. He says "tonight we begin the destruction of CHIKARA till we get what is ours. I have arranged for our people to be in every match including the main event where die Jager will cash in their points for a shot at the Campeonatos de Parejas titles. Until the Eye of Tyr is returned to us there is NO hope for CHIKARA". With that the eight men and women left the ring. We got some questions answered but some still need to be. Why did Claudio turn on CHIKARA? Why did Del Rey and Haze do the same and join this group? Will Ultramantis hand over the Eye?
We come back to the first match. The largest member of BDS, Tursas, is taking on one of the smallest men in CHIKARA, Green Ant. Green Ant tried to put up a fight but Tursas was just too much for him and before long Tursas had earned his first win in CHIKARA. We had a trios match next with Sara Del Rey, Daizee Haze and Pinkie Sanchez of BDS taking on Incoherence and Crossbones of the Temple. This would be the first match up of Ultramantis's men against members of BDS. Del Rey and Hallowicked started the match and Hallowicked was controlling much of the action. Then both of them spilled outside of the ring and Haze and Frightmare entered the ring and started to do battle. Again the Incoherence member was in control till he decided to toss Haze out of the ring and flew over the top rope onto her. It was then time for Pinkie and Crossbones to enter the ring and do battle. From there things went back and forth and in the end Sanchez pinned Frightmare. So BDS was 2-0 after an exciting trios match. Next we had Claudio Castagnoli taking on Jigsaw. Jigsaw took it to Claudio and was looking to get the first win for CHIKARA. He was in control till he went for a move off the top rope and Claudio pulled the ref in front of him. With the ref knocked down Tyler Black ran in and hit some moves on Jigsaw and left the ring with Claudio in control and went to wake the ref. Claudio hit his finisher but Jigsaw kicked out. Claudio did it again and once again Jigsaw kicked out. The crowd started going wild as they tried to will Jigsaw to a win. However it was not to be as third time was the charm for Claudio as he hit his finisher and got the win. Then it was time for the main event. In the first fall die Jager took it to Fire Ant and did not let him tag out. Fire put up a good fight but eventually die Jager wore him down enough to get the pin and take a 1-0 lead in the best of 3 match. Soldier Ant started the second fall and started to wear down die Jager. He stayed in a long time as Fire Ant recovered. Finally he tagged out and Fire Ant was, pardon the pun, on fire. It did not last long and out of nowhere die Jager hit their finisher and scored the decisive second fall. They won the match 2-0 and thus the titles. After the match the rest of BDS came down to ringside and joined die Jager in the ring to celebrate. Tyler Black grabbed a mic and said next week they will end up with all the gold as Claudio Castagnoli will face Eddie Kingston for the Young Lions Cup. "Remember, Claudio recently beat Kingston and will do it again next week." What a great debut for Bruderschaft des Schwertes as they went 4-0 and won the Campeonatos de Parejas titles. Will they win the Young Lions Cup next week to control all the gold? What else will they do? How will Ultramantis respond to this?

-There are rumors going around that Jimmy Jacobs has some big plans for S.C.U.M. and might reveal them over next month or so.
ROH
3/16 Show kicks off with Matt Taven in the ring. He says he won the #1 contender match and he wants his World Title back. The House of Truth music hits and Truth, Homicide and the World champion Jay Lethal walk out and stand at the top of the ramp. Truth gets on the mic and says Matt made the biggest mistake of his life by leaving the House. Now he is about to make the second biggest by asking for a match with Lethal. However if Matt wants to ruin his life he will not stop him. Tonight he has a match with his man. He starts to point to Lethal but then turns and points to Homicide. He says tonight Matt will face Homicide in the main event. If he is still breathing after, he can have his title shot next week.
The first match pits Tommaso Ciampa against Samoa Joe. They shake hands to start the match then proceed to beat the snot out of each other. The match was brutal and went back and forth till finally Joe finished Ciampa off with a power bomb. After the match they shook hands again in a sign of respect for each other. The crowd really appreciated that. Next we saw AJ Styles using his skill and speed against the power of Donovan Dijak. Donovan controlled early as he beat down AJ and kept him close so his speed was not a factor. He looked to be on his way to a victory till Syles hit a sunset flip for a close 2 count. Soon after he hit the Styles Clash and got the 3 count. Just goes to show AJ can win a match out of nowhere. Tag team action was next as reDRagon took on the team of The Brian Kendrick and Moose. In one of the biggest surprises of the year Kendrick and Moose not only won but did so pretty quickly. Both the fans and reDRagon were in shock after. Then it was time for the main event. Homicide attacked Taven before the bell and controlled the action early. When he hit Da Gringo Killer it looked like he picked up an easy win. However the Hotties got up on the apron and distracted the ref. While Homicide was arguing with the ref about this Taven recovered and Homicide turned around to a drop kick. Taven then started wearing down Homicide and looked to be on the verge of a victory when Truth Martini got on the apron to yell at him. Taven grabbed him and knocked him to the floor. Unfortunately this allowed Homicide to catch his breath and he started attacking Taven, hit Da Gringo Killer and got the win. Taven has lost his momentum going into next weeks title match. Will he be able to overcome the odds and win the title or will the House keep the belt?

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
3/12 Midnight Express battled the SST in the opening match. They hit the Veg-O-Matic on Alofa early in the match but Alofa kicked out of it. The SST battled back for a bit but before long the Express had the win. Next was a rematch of a match that ended in a time limit draw a couple weeks back as The Sheik took on Les Thatcher. There would be no time limit draw this time as Les wore The Sheik down and picked up the win. We saw new comer to Georgia Championship Wrestling Jimmy Snuka face off against former World Champion Ted Dibiase next. This was a solid back and forth match as neither guy could put the other away easy. In the end Jimmy picked up the slight upset win. Ted was very upset about losing after. It was the main event and 6 man action. The World Champion Randy Savage teamed with his dad and brother, Angelo and Lanny Poffo. They took on the Heenan Family members Cowboy Bob Orton, King Kong Bundy and the US champion Bruiser Brody. This was an action packed match with lots of tags and some double teaming. It ended when Lanny rolled up Orton as he was watching Savage and Bundy brawl outside of the ring. Bobby was in disbelief.

AWA
3/15 Red Bastien and Bryan Danielson started the show with the first match. Bryan was having troubles getting any offense going and before long Red had using many submission holds to wear him down and made Bryan tap while in the Boston Crab. Next the Valiant Brothers took on Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. The brothers controlled most of the action but could just not put away their opponents. Eventually time ran out. Sheik and Volkoff did not lose but they sure looked it after the match. The main event was between Horsemen member Killer Kowalski and Freddie Blassie. In what can be called an upset Blassie defeated Kowalski. Blassie might have got the victory but has he made an enemy of the Horsemen in the process?
World Champion: Nick Bockwinkel Tag Team Champions: Hamilton Wrecking Crew
ECW
3/13 Barely Legal ppv:
1) Jerry Lynn vs Rich Swann. The two high flyers kicked off the acting on ECW's ppv and put on an exciting match. Rich really took it too Lynn and did not let him get any traction. Eventually he was able to put the vet away for a rare win. After the match Lynn congratulated the youngster and raised his arm. Nice sportsmanship. That is rare in ECW.
2) Adrian Street vs Necro Butcher in a Weapons Match. Necro was looking to make up for his lone loss in ECW. This was a brutal match. Street took control early. He did not wait long to make use of the weapons. He hit Necro with a kendo stick. Then a bit later he went under the ring and pulled out a piece of ply wood with barbed wire. The crowd cheered when they saw it. He body slammed Necro onto it. But Necro would not go down easy. This was not the first hardcore type match he had been in. Later in the match he returned the favor on Adrian and slammed him onto the barbed wire. Miss Linda even got involved as she jumped on Necro's back and tried digging her nails into his eyes. He just tossed her off of him and went back to beating down Adrian. He even used a chain to choke the Exotic one. In the end Necro set up a table in the ring, put two chairs on it and pulled Adrian up on the table. He then hit Choose Death up there and they crashed thru the table. That was enough to finish off Adrian and Necro got the win.
3) Al Snow vs Val Venis. Val was looking to beat Al for his tag partner D'lo. Val was beating Al all around the ring. Al got some offense in here and there. Then he knocked Val out of the ring. While Val was recovering Al went to the corner to get some advice from his mannequin head. Crazy as it sounds it helped as once Val got back in the ring Al took the fight to him and before long had the win. He and the mannequin started to celebrate but D'lo hit the ring and started attacking Al. As D'lo was kicking Al Val recovered and joined in till security ran in and pulled them off.
4) Voodoo Kill Mafia vs Demolition. As VKM was making their way to the ring Demolition ran out to meet them. They fought all over the arena it seemed before finally getting in the ring for the match. They took turns being in control. Demolition had it early and hit Demolition Decapitation early but the pin attempt was broken up with The Shard ran in. Later the VKM worked Ax over and seemed to have the win but Mr Fuji ran in to disrupt things. The ref had had enough and through both The Shard and Mr Fuji out. Now it would be just two on two. The teams continued to tear into each other. VKM had Smash in trouble as they worked him over and looked to get the pin. Ax tried to make the save but BJ stopped him. As the ref tried to get them out of the ring a large Asian man jumped over the railing, got in the ring and hit Kip with a throat chop. He quickly rolled out of the ring before the ref noticed him. The ref turned around and saw Smack covering Kip and counted the three. Demolition had stole a victory but who was this mysterious man?
5) One Man Gang vs Sabu. This was a wild match as ONG used his strength and Sabu used his speed, fearlessness and not to mention quite a few chairs. In fact thanks to some chair aided Arabian Facebusters Sabu busted Gang's forehead up and he was bleeding. Before long Sabu hit a Triple Jump Moonsault and got the win over the much larger opponent.
6) Raven and Stevie Richards vs Sandman and Tommy Dreamer for the ECW Tag Team Championship. Stevie did much of the heavy lifting for his team. The only time Raven got in was after Stevie had wore down Sandman. Raven was only in there for a couple minutes before tagging out. Stevie put up a good fight but as he was taking on two guys pretty much himself he got wore down. Sandman went for the pin and Raven started to come in to make the save but soon as Dreamer started to get in the ring Raven rolled out. It cost them the titles as Sandman got the three count on Stevie and won the titles back for his team. As Sandman and Dreamer stood in the ring and raised their titles over the body of Stevie Raven just watched on. He motioned to Tina and walked off and she followed him leaving Stevie in the ring. The new champions continued to celebrate when suddenly two men in cammo pants and long sleeve hoodies, their faces covered with what appeared to be Confederate flag bandannas, ran down from back stage and attacked the new tag team champs. After laying out the champions they removed the bandannas and pulled back their hoodie tops. The crowd went absolutely nuts when they realized it was none other than brothers Jay and Mark, the Briscoe Brothers. It seemed the baddest tag team in the business has arrived in ECW. So good news for the Sandman and Tommy Dreamer is they have the ECW Tag belts back. The bad news is it seems they have the Briscoe Brothers gunning for them.
7) Jon Moxley vs Super Crazy. Jon simply took it too Crazy and showed why he is champion of underground fight clubs. Crazy tried to fight back but it was in vain. Jon has really been on a roll later but he has been facing lower competition for the most part. Maybe it is time he started facing some of the top ECW guys.
8) Taz vs RVD for the World Championship in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Taz came down to the ring with Bill Alfonso and a group of guys wearing orange "Team Taz" shirts. It looked like the start of a major boxing match. While Taz came to the ring with fanfair once the bell ring he was all business. He was beating RVD all around the ring and even outside the ring. They fought through the fans each guy getting in chair shots. Once inside the ring Taz hit multiple suplexs and even slapped on the Tazmission but RVD would not go down easy. Finally after back to back Tazmission-Plex's Taz was able to put away RVD. He had successfully held onto his title and without any interference.
3/14 The day after the PPV starts with Mr Fuji and Demolition being interviewed in their locker room. Fuji is asked who the large Asian man that attacked Kip last night was. Fuji starts off saying what makes people think they had anything to do with him. Then he laughs and says but of course they did. Meet his newest acquisition. Then the large bulky man entered looking very menacing. Mr Fuji says his name is Killer Khan and we all get to see him in action now as he and Demolition have a 6 man match to start the show.
Voodoo Kill Mafia and The Shard take on Demolition and Killer Khan in the opening match. Things start with Demolition dominating VKM and The Shard. Finally Killer Khan gets in and beats down on The Shard with some vicious offense. The VKM fought back but it was too little too late and Demolition and Khan earned the win. Next we have a match between Colt Cabana and Chris Candido. Before it starts Chris cuts a promo about how it is time for him to make a name for himself here in ECW and Colt will be the first casualty. He ended backing up his words by getting a rather easy win. Then we get a promo from the Briscoes about how they have come to ECW for one thing. To dominate the tag division and be the ECW Tag Team Champions. If anyone gets in their way they will destroy them. They are the Briscoe Brothers and winning tag gold is "WHAT WE DO!". The next match sees Rich Swann, fresh off his win last night, taking on Eddie Gilbert. Rich shows off his high flying ability and earns a quick win. The main event is between one half of the Tag Team Champions, Sandman, and one half of the former champs, Stevie Richards. Stevie was looking to get some payback for what happened last night at the PPV. He had Sandman in trouble for a little bit but in the end the result was the same as last night, Stevie on his back and Sandman covering him for the three count.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Sandman & Tommy Dreamer
CHIKARA
3/11 The show starts with a match between Pinkie Sanchez and his former sometimes tag partner Archibald Peck. Before the match started Peck was all smiles and went up to Pinkie and shook his hand then asked for a mic. He said he is so happy that Pinkie has made it big and now it is his time to join the BDS. Pinkie asks for the mic. He asks Peck if he wants to join the BDS. Peck excitedly nodded his head yea. Pinkie looked to be thinking when suddenly he shouted "no" and hit Peck with the mic and tossed it to the side. The match started and Pinkie worked over Peck then started to pose and relax. Peck started fighting back and went to bring a chair in the ring. When the ref took it away and went to toss it out of the ring Peck grabbed his baton and hit Pinkie with it and quickly covered him for the win. What an upset and the first loss for BDS. After the match Del Rey and Haze ran in and knocked Peck down. They proceeded to beat him down and once Pinkie recovered he joined in. When they were done they posed in the ring to a reign of boos. Would the BDS get back on track in the next match? Delirious took on Tursas. The match started with Tursas tossing Delirious around the ring and using his power to his advantage. For awhile it seemed Delirious snapped and was back to his old ways. He took Tursas and the action out of the ring. He grabbed a chair and threatened to hit Tursas with it. The crowd cheered for him to do it as the ref warned him not too. He looked at the chair, the crowd and the ref in a cycle for about 3 times. Tursas got to his feet and looked to attack Delirious when Delirious swung the chair and hit Tursas on the head. The ref called for the bell. Tursas did not get a pin but he got the win via DQ. After the match ended Delirious looked at the ref for a bit, then stared at the chair before finally dropping it and simply walking off.
We get an interview of Del Rey and Haze in the back. They were asked why they joined BDS. They said they want to be the best in CHIKARA and Claudio came to them with an offer to be part of something great. If they help BDS to get their goals then BDS will help them with their goals. It made sense to them and thus they are part of THE dominating force in CHIKARA. We go to the ring for tag action between the former champs, The Colony, and The Throwbacks. The Colony was looking to get their first point on the path to getting their titles back. Sadly it would not happen this night as The Throwbacks pulled off the upset. Are The Colony in a funk do to losing their titles? Speaking of titles the main event was for the Young Lions Cup as the champ Eddie Kingston took on Claudio Castagnoli. Claudio earned a victory over Eddie awhile back in a non title match. But with the title on the line Eddie fought harder and even having Tyler Black run in to help Claudio was not enough to get the job done as Eddie beat Claudio and held onto his title. This is the first major set back for BDS. How will they respond to it and what will they do next?

3/23 Show starts with pre-taped promos for Jay Lethal and Matt Taven regarding their title match tonight. Jay says he will hold onto what is his while Matt says he will win back what is his. Then it is time for the opening match. Chris Sabin took on El Generico. El Generico was in control at the beginning of the match and seemed to be on the way to a win but Chris fought back and earned the win. Next Adam Cole took on AJ Styles. Both men took control at different times but in the end Adam Cole got the victory. Tag team action was next as War Machine faced off against The Brian Kendrick and Moose. In a bit of a shock Kendrick would not let Moose start the match and chose to do it himself. He put up a good fight at first but then War Machine started wearing him down. Brian was able to make a tag to Moose and his team started getting back on top. Then Brian tagged back in. The end came when Hanson tossed him out of the ring, attacked him for a bit outside of the ring and Brian was unable to make it back in before the 20 count.
Then it was time for the main event. Jay Lethal defended the World Championship against Matt Taven. Jay attacked Matt before the bell. It looked like the right move as he was dominating Matt. He hit the Lethal Injection early but Matt kicked out. After wearing Matt down some more Jay hit the Lethal Injection again and looked to be on the way to an easy defense when the Hotties got on the apron and distracted the ref. As the ref tried to get them to get down Jay stood up to watch what was going on. So he did not see Rhino run down and get in the ring. He found out Rhino was there when he turned around and took a GORE! Rhino rolled out of the ring before the ref turned around. Matt got up and hit his finisher. Truth Martini got up on the apron to try and distract the ref and/or Matt but Matt ignored him, yelled at the ref to make the count and the ref did. Once the ref's hand slapped the canvas the third time we had a new World Champion. Truth was in total shock and it could be seen all over his face. Matt took the title and hit the apron to hold it up. He was so happy and soaking in the moment he did not notice the members of S.C.U.M. hit the ring. They attacked Matt and proceeded to beat down the new champion. After he was laid out Jimmy grabbed the belt and handed it to Kevin Steen and he held it high as the members of S.C.U.M. stood over Matt Taven.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
3/19 Things begin with a match between Bobo Brazil and Boris Zhukov. Bobo went on the offense from the start and never really lost the advantage before finally getting the win. Boris looked very frustrated after losing. We then get an announcement that Randy Savage will defend the World Championship next week vs King Kong Bundy. Could the Heenan Family get the World title back in the fold? Speaking of the Family, Cowboy Bob Orton took on Lanny Poffo next and was looking to get revenge for his embarrassing loss last week. A couple times Lanny actually looked like he would pull off the upset but in the end Orton got the win. Next the Midnight Express took on Killer Bees and just dominated the action till they picked up the win. They really looked strong in this match. The main event was Bruiser Brody defending the US title against Mil Mascaras. It was a brutal match at the start and Mil looked to be on the verge of winning the title but Bobby Heenan distracted the ref and was yelling at him. As the ref interacted with Bobby, The Vachons ran down and attacked Mil. This was enough to let Bruiser get things back in his favor and before long he finished Mil off and held onto his gold.

AWA
3/22 Red Bastien battled Magnum T.A. in the opening match. Last few months have been tough for Magnum especially compared to the great way his career started in AWA. This match was no exception as he tried to put up a good fight but Red really took it to him and got the win. The next match was a tag team battle between former champions Hart Foundation and Love Brothers. Before the match Owen got on the mic and, as Bret stood by his side with an angry scowl, said they were going to get their titles back soon. Also they would deal with the betrayal of their former manager Jimmy Hart soon enough. As Owen was handing the mic back the Love Brothers jumped the Hart's from behind. Reginald started the match but the brothers attack was not enough as the Harts soon regained control and wore Reginald down. When Bret slapped on the Sharpshooter Hartford tried to save his brother but Owen stopped him long enough for Reginald to tap out. The Harts then tossed the Love Brothers out of the ring and looked at the camera trying to send a message to the Hamilton Wrecking Crew. Then it was time for the main event. Nick Bockwinkel defended his World title against Frank Gotch. When Gotch came to AWA it was to get a title match with Buddy Rogers. The closest he got was a non title match he lost like he lost most of his early matches. However he had been on a winning streak and was given the title match he wanted just with another champion. The first fall was a long back and forth as both men had numerous pin attempts. In the end Nick won the first fall. The second fall was much quicker as Frank caught Nick off guard and got the pin. With things tied up the match went to the third fall. Both men battled hard but in the end Frank slapped on the Gotch Toehold and Nick could not take the pain and tapped out. The winner 2 falls to 1 and NEW World Champion Frank Gotch. It looks like his coming back was the right decision after all as he added another title to his resume.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hamilton Wrecking Crew
ECW
3/21 The show begins with the camera in a dark gritty area in the back of the arena. It closes in on Raven. He then cuts a promo. "In the jungle it is a matter of survival of the fittest. You take what you want. The illusion is that human society is different. But it is not. Humans are just another form of animal. You know all about this Tommy. Back in high school I was on the top of the social ladder. That is till you transferred in. The big jock. Mr Joe Cool. You took my spot and pushed me to the side. Well now it is time for me to get that spot back. I came in and I took the tag team titles away from you. However before I could rub it in and have time to enjoy my victory you were allowed to win them back. To make matters worse before I could do the same to you and quickly take them back another beast entered the picture. Two red necks have entered our world not knowing what they are getting into. Briscoe's you may think you will be on top of ECW but you will learn that Raven is the only one on top. You would be wise to stay out of my way. Do that and I will let you be. As for you Tommy Dreamer, your time is coming to an end. I will break you. Quote the Raven, Never More" and with that he stood up and put his arms off to his side which is becoming his signature look.
Speaking of the Briscoes Brothers, they made their ECW wrestling debut in the opening match against Jerry Lynn and Colt Cabana. The brothers showed why they have the reputation of ass kickers as they destroyed their competition and got an easy win. Next Raven had his first ECW single match. He took on the man with one, or more, screws loose Al Snow. Snow was in control over Raven early but then made the mistake of "talking" to his mannequin to get advise and this allowed Raven to take over. An advantage Raven never gave up and he hit the Evenflow DDT for the win. Next Killer Khan had his first single match as he took on Larry Sweeney. Larry was in control early and Khan could not get in any offense. Larry made one mistake, he went to climb the turnbuckle to try something big but Khan tossed him off the buckle and then proceeded to beat down Larry till he finally got the pin. The main event was next and pitted two men who have slowly been building a rivalry, One Man Gang and Sabu. As the match started Sabu lunged at OMG's legs but missed and the big man kicked him for his effort. From there One Man Gang proceeded to use his strength advantage to beat down Sabu. He then tossed Sabu out of the ring and when he went to continue the assault outside of the ring Sabu was able to fight back. Then he viciously tore into One Man Gang and eventually got the win. It just feels like these two are not done with each other.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Sandman and Tommy Dreamer
CHIKARA
3/18 We get an announcement to start things that BDS went to management and made a deal to give The Colony a title match tonight. It is not sure what they got in return but this is good news for The Colony. Instead of having to work to get their 3 points they have a chance now to win their titles back. The first match is a rematch from last week as Pinkie Sanchez takes on former tag partner Archibald Peck. It was obvious that Pinkie was upset at losing last week as he attacked Archibald from the get go and did not let up till he earned the victory. He looked down at Archibald in disgust and left the ring. Shane Storm went up against Jigsaw in the next match but came up short as Jigsaw got the pin. We then had a battle of two beasts next. Tursas took on the one guy in CHIKARA that could match him in size, Brodie Lee. The match was as expected, two big brutes bashing each other. In the end the BDS member got the victory. Then it was time for the main event. Green Ant came down to watch his partners back to keep BDS from interfering. The first fall started with Tim and Fire Ant going at it till Tim tossed Fire out of the ring and went flying on top of him. After that Ares and Soldier ran in to continue the action. Ares and Tim were able to hit their finisher and die Jager won the first fall. In the second fall The Colony worked over Tim till they evened the match at one fall to one. In the deciding fall die Jager were working over Fire Ant and hit their finisher. Soldier Ant was about to run in and make the pin save when Green Ant grabbed his legs and pulled him off the apron to allow Ares to get the pin on Fire Ant. Soldier Ant was confused. He was asking Green Ant why he did that and Green Ant looked like he didn't understand as he backed off seemingly afraid of what Soldier Ant might do. As Soldier Ant turned to the ring and pointed Green Ant exploded and hit Soldier Ant with a forearm to the back of his head knocking him down. As the crowd booed Green Ant looked at them again like he did not know what was going on. Then he started to kick Soldier Ant. As he did this die Jager started to kick Fire Ant then rolled out of the ring and helped Green Ant. It seems we now know the last member of BDS. Of all the members this might be the most shocking. Now we know why BDS was so confident in giving a title match to The Colony. They had an ace up the sleeve. So they were able to defend the titles successfully AND they get something from management. Finally before the show ends it is announced that the King of Trios tournament will start next month with 2 opening matches each show and will end with the finals at CHIKARA's PPV in May, Aniversario.

Rumors and News
- Sources say the AWA and ECW are planning on adding a 2nd singles title due to the success of the NWA's US title.
- There is talk that NWA is deciding rather or not to add another PPV. It would be in May or June.
ROH
3/30 Matt Taven is in the ring as the show starts. He says last week his hard work payed off and he won back the ROH World championship. Then shortly after S.C.U.M. lived up to their name and they attacked him. Kevin Steen walked off what is his. Well he wants it back. So he is calling out Steen, RIGHT NOW! He looks at the entrance as he waits for Kevin. Music hits but not Steen's. It is Jay Lethal's music. Jay comes out and stands at the top of the ramp. He says the title does not belong to Taven. It is HIS title. Jay says he would have retained if not for Rhino sticking his nose where it did not belong. He was going to make Rhino pay but first, he wants his belt back. They stare at each other for a bit then the GM comes out and tells them to hold up. He says that next month at the next PPV Supercard of Honor everyone will get what they want. Matt Taven will defend the ROH World championship against Jay Lethal...and Kevin Steen...and Rhino. It will be a Four Corners match. We will find out who the best man is and who deserves to wear the belt. He then announces that tonight the main event will be a #1 contenders match for the Tag Team titles between War Machine and reDRagon. The winner will get their title shot on the show after the PPV. At the PPV the champions W.G.T.T. will defend against the former champs, Addiciton. This is some big news. The PPV already looks like a do not miss event.
The opening match was between Adam Cole and Donovan Dijak. The young upstart took it to Adam from the bell and used his sized advantage to wear down Adam. Donovan ended up with a quick shocking win. Next we saw Michael Elgin take on Matt Sydal. In the beginning Michael used his strength advantage to wear Matt down. He made one mistake. That was throwing Matt out of the ring and went after him. Matt caught Michael off guard and tossed him back in the ring. Matt then used his quickness and athletic abilities to wear Michael down and ended up pinning him. Tommaso Ciampa and Silas Young battled each other next. The match was a lot of both men just beating the snot out of each other. Both men had plenty of chances to pin the other. In the end it was Silas with the win. After the match both men just laid there exhausted. In the main event War Machine worked Kyle over from the start. They hit their finisher and looked like they had the win but Fish broke the pin attempt. Not long after Kyle was able to tag in his partner and reDRagon went to work. Using their speed and frequent tag the started to wear Rowe down. Finally Fish got Rowe to tap to the leg lock to get reDRagon the title shot. This did not sit well with War Machine as they attacked reDRagon after the match. Both teams brawled as the show ended.
World Champion: Matt Taven Tag Team Champions: W.G.T.T.
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
3/26 Mr Saito and Masked Superstar started the action. Mr Saito used brutality to keep Superstar off his game and before long had the victory. Next was tag team action between the Midnight Express and the Dream Team. Brutus Beefcake started for his team and the Express worked him over. They used numerous tags and double team moves to wear him down. They were dominating him and hit their finisher. Greg Valentine looked like he was going to come in and try and break the pin attempt but he stopped and just jumped off the apron as his partner was covered for the three count. Valentine shook his head and walked off. Looks like there is trouble for the Dream Team. The Express on the other hand are on their way to another title match it seemed. The following match was between Jimmy Snuka and Les Thatcher. Les had some offense but for the most part Jimmy controlled the action and ended up with the win.
Then it was time for the main event. Randy Savage defended the World title against King Kong Bundy. The champ took it to Bundy from the start and did not let him catch his breath. Heenan was looking concerned and waved toward the back. Out came Cowboy Bob Orton. He circled the ring trying to find a chance to get in and attack Savage. Suddenly Lanny Poffo ran down and started fighting with Orton. More refs came down to separate the men and get them to the locker room. The distraction helped Bundy as he was able to hit Randy from behind and gain control. The advantage did not last long as Randy fought back to gain control and get a couple 2 counts. Then Bruiser Brody started walking down the ring to get involved. However a man hopped over the railing and attacked Bruiser. It took a moment to realize who it was. That was no fan, that was former World champion and Heenan Family member DON LEO JONATHAN!!! He had not been seen since getting kicked out of the family. Don and Bruiser tore into each other like a couple wild animals. Security came flowing out of the back. As they tried to break the brawl up the fans chanted "let them fight". Finally security was able to separate them and get them to the back. Soon after, with no help from his stable mates, Bundy found himself in trouble. Savage hit the Flying Elbow Drop and got the win. Heenan seemed baffled at what just happened and looked like he had no idea what to do.

AWA
3/29 The show opens with the Four Horsemen cutting a promo in the back. They are talking about how they are the dominating force in wrestling. Anyone that gets in their way will learn that the hard way. Killer Kowalski says that includes his opponent tonight, Freddie Blassie. With that Killer heads off for his match. He was wearing Freddie down when Freddie start to fight back. Freddie relied on biting a lot. It seemed the Horsemen did not appreciate that as the Hamilton Wrecking Crew ran down and got in the ring and attacked Freddie. This left the ref with no choice but to call for the bell. Freddie won via DQ but we do not know if he knew as the three members of the Horsemen kept attacking him. After the match we got another promo for American Starship. This time it showed the men. They wore masks and seemed to be pretty large. It sure looks like they can cause damage in the tag team division. The next match was between Johnny Saint and Bobby Shane. Johnny had no answer for everything Bobby threw at him. Before long Bobby had slapped on the sleep and Johnny faded so the ref called for the bell. However Bobby refused to break the hall and after being told a few times the ref reversed his decision and awarded the match to Johnny by DQ. What was Bobby thinking? Then it was time for the main event. Valiant Brothers took on Iron Skeik and Nikolai Volkoff. The brothers kept the Sheik in the ring and in their corner. They used tags to stay fresh and Sheik got wore down. Eventually they covered him and he could not kick out. Winners the Valiant Brothers.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hamilton Wrecking Crew
ECW
3/28 The show begins with the Briscoes Brothers in the back. Jay does the talking while Mark walks around behind him shaking his head and throwing in some words of agreement now and then. Jay said they came to ECW to prove they are the baddest men on the planet. They do not care who they have to go through to prove it. That includes you Raven he says as he looks into the camera. He tells Raven to stay out of their business. Otherwise he and his crony Stevie Richards will just end up as casualties. He then says they want gold and do not want to wait any longer. He says if Sandman and Dreamer have the nads they will accept their challenge for a title match, TONIGHT. Then he and Mark look into the camera menacing. Rich Swann faced Colt Cabana in the first match. Colt pulled up an upset and earned a rare single victory. It ended the roll Rich had been on. Next Jon Moxley took on Chris Candido. Jon started hot early but Chris fought back. Then thanks to a top rop huracanrana, and some pulling of the shorts, Chris had a win. Jon was not happy about it. We then hear from the Tag Team Champions who say they owe the Briscoes some pay back for jumping them. So yes, they do accept their challenge and will see them in the main event. The next match was between The Shard and Killer Khan. Khan came down without Mr Fuji and that seemed to be a costly mistake as The Shard took it to him and while Khan got in some brutal offense it was not enough. The Shard won the match.
The title match between the champions Sandman and Tommy Dreamer and the challengers the Briscoe Brothers was the main event. It was a hard hitting match with neither team seeming to gain much of an advantage. After a couple minutes Raven came down to the ring and slid in under the bottom ropes and tried to get at Jay but the ref came between them. The ref made Raven leave the ring but Raven stayed ringside. As the match continued Raven would jaw with Jay a few times and even Mark a couple times. He even had words with Dreamer once. He sure had no love lost for these two teams. Later the Briscoe's hit the Doomsday Device on Dreamer. It looked like they had won the titles but Sandman made the save. Then he and Mark started fighting and toppled over the top rope. As the ref wend outside of the ring to check on them Raven grabbed a chair and entered the ring. He pushed Dreamer to the side and waited for Jay to turn around as Jay was at the ropes watching the action outside. Finally Jay turned around and Raven lifted the chair, turned to his side and hit Dreamer with it. Raven then laid the chair down, picked up Dreamer and hit the Evenflow DDT on him onto the chair. He grabbed the chair and slipped out of the ring. Jay just stared on not sure to make of what happened. When the ref came back in the ring Jap picked up Dreamer, hit the Jay Driller and covered him for the pin and win. Your new ECW Tag Team Champions the Briscoe Brothers. After the ref handed the Brothers the belts they held them high. Then Raven got back in the ring and stood on one side as the Brothers stood on the other looking at him. He raised his arms out to his side in his signature pose. The Brothers looked at each other, got an evil grin, looked back at Raven and took the same pose as Raven while holding the belts. It was all a ruse. Raven was working with the Brothers. But for how long? Raven then faced the camera and did his pose as the Brothers stood behind him, one on each side, and also did the pose. It seems Raven's Flock just got much more powerful.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
3/25 The show starts with Mike Quackenbush in back confronting Crossbones and Incoherence. He wants to know where Ultramantis Black is and what he is going to do about BDS. Frightmare starts to say they have no idea where he is but Crossbones tells him to shut up. Crossbones tells Mike to mind his own business. Mike says with BDS causing havoc in CHIKARA it IS his business. Crossbones says if you want to talk, beat me in the ring. He then heads off. That leads to the opening match between Mike and Crossbones. Crossbones was extremely vicious and earned a dominating win. After the match it is announced that Tyler Black will make his CHIKARA in ring debut in the main event tonight. Next we get an announcement that the King of Trios tournament starts next week. The first two matches are announced. One will be BDS (Claudio Castagnoli and die Jager) against S.C.U.M. The other will be Quackenbush, Jigsaw and Jushin Liger against Heenan Family (The Vachons and King Kong Bundy). What a way to kick off the action.
The next match is between Icarus and Tiger Mask. Tiger seemed determined to get the win as he was all over Icarus. The end came soon after he threw Icarus out of the ring and jumped over the top rope with a corkscrew plancha. After rolling Icarus back in the ring it was just a matter of time before Tiger Mask had the victory. The Throwbacks were looking for their 2nd point as they faced the Naptown Dragons. Sadly for the Throwbacks the Dragons had other plans and looked impressive in the upset. It is then time for the main event. BDS leader Tyler Black takes on Johnny Gargano. Tyler had issues early but quickly rebounded and got the win. He proceeded to beat down on Gargano after the bell and tossed him out of the ring. Tyler was sending a message that BDS is the dominating force in CHIKARA. Who can stop them? Where is Ultramantis Black?

Rumors and News
-BDS and Mike Quackenbush are not the only ones wondering where Ultramantis Black is. CHIKARA officials have not been able to communicate with him to find out what is going on between him and BDS. One crazy rumor going around is it is not a matter of WHERE he is but WHEN. Yep that is right. Some people think he is time traveling as part of a plan to stop BDS.
-A rumor going around is Bobby Heenan is looking to shake things up again in his Family. If that means adding someone or kicking someone out again is not known.
ROH
4/6 The show opens with promos from the three challengers to Matt Taven's World title at Supercard of Honor. Lethal talks about how the belt was his and it was stolen but on Sunday he will get it back. Rhino says he is tired of doing the dirty work for others and having nothing to show for it. Sunday will be his chance at glory as he will be the new World Champion. Finally Kevin Steen, with his two S.C.U.M. teammates next to him talks about how easy it was to take the belt from Matt and Sunday it will be almost as easy to officially win it Sunday as he only has to be the first to pin someone. It does not even have to be Taven.
First match is AJ Styles taking on Donovan Dijak. Styles surprised Dijak from the opening bell and almost got a quick win but Dijak kicked out. Things did not get better for Donovan as AJ controlled the action and before long hit the Styles Clash for the win. Next Kevin Steen looked to have a warm up match but his opponent was someone he had some history with, Roderick Strong. Steen took it too Strong early but Roderick fought back and earned the victory. Steen sure did not seem concerned as after the match he sat in the corner of the ring and just laughed. Roderick did not know what to make of it and slowly left the ring. Tag team match was next on the card as former Tag Team Champions took on #1 contenders reDRagon. Addiction started hot but reDRagon fought back and got the win when Fish pinned Daniels. In the main event Austin Aries took on El Generico in a rematch. Their first match was a quick upset win by Generico. That did not happen this time. Aries was set on beating Generico and early on it looked like he would. However El Generico fought back and earned a second upset victory. Just not quickly this time. The show ends with a promo from the World Champion, Matt Taven. He said the odds might be stocked against him but he is use to that. It does not matter. After Sunday at the PPV he will still be the ROH World Champion.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
4/2 The Sheik took on Greg Valentine in the opening match. This was a rare single match for "The Hammer" but he looked good as he easily defeated the crazy Sheik. After the win Brutus Beekcake came down to try and talk to Valentin. It seems he wants to know why Greg took a single match but his partner was not in a talking mood and simply left. Could the Dream Team be on the splits? Next Hacksaw Duggan and Hillybilly Jim took on The Vachons. It seems Heenan's men were not happy after how things went down the day before in CHIKARA. They looked pissed and they took out their anger on their opponents. Before long they had won the match. Next Ted Dibiase faced off against Angelo Poffo. This was a match of careers going in different directions. Ted was the young guy hitting his prime while Angelo was nearing the end of his career. However the old guy still had some fight in him as he ended up with the pinning victory. The main event was a revenge match as Don Leo Jonathan took on Cowboy Bob Orton. Don had returned to NWA GCW last week after being kicking out of the Heenan Family. This was a back and forth match and in the end Don Leo came up short as the Cowboy earned the victory.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors
AWA
4/5 The show opens with the Tag Team Champions, Hamilton Wrecking Crew with JJ Dillion, and Hart Foundation in the ring with an AWA official. It seems there is a disagreement about their title match for the main event tonight. The Hart's want the match to be a 2 of 3 Falls match and the Crew do not. All the while JJ is standing there listening to both teams and thinking. Finally he leans in and whispers something to the brothers of the Crew. They nod and he tells the Hart's they can have their 2 of 3 Falls match on two stipulations. One is if the Harts do not win they do not get another title shot and two if by somehow the Harts win the Crew have a rematch clause. The Harts agree and our main event is set. Bryan Danielson takes on Bill Dundee in the opening match. Bryan controlled most of the match. Bill tried to get back into the match by using dirty tactics and it seemed to bother Bryan. Bill's plan to get under Bryan's skin worked as they were outside of the ring and Bryan went to far and got himself disqualified. After the match we get an interview at the top of the ramp of the newest tag team in AWA, American Starship. The larger man, wearing a red mask with a white star over his right eye, is named Eagle. The smaller but still large man, wearing a blue mask with a white star over his left eye, is named Coyote. They talk about they are here to prove they are the greatest tag team. That means wearing tag team gold. The first step to their goal starts next week when they have a match. Next we have a match between Harley Race and Red Bastien. It is a good back and forth match that ends with Race piledriving Red and getting the 3 count. Then it is time for the main event.
The Hamilton Wrecking Crew start getting on a roll once Owen gets in the ring as they work him over good. Before long they get the pin. Normally the match would be over but since this is 2 of 3 Falls it just means the Crew has the early lead. Was agreeing to this match a mistake? The second fall started with the Crew continuing to wear Owen down but he fought back and tagged in his older brother. Bret went on the offense and before long he had Chris Tolos in the Sharpshooter and Chris had to tap. The match was now even at a fall a piece. The winners of the next fall would win the match and be champions. Both teams tagged in and out and came close to earning a win. In the end Bret pinned John. The winners and NEW Tag Team Champions, the Hart Foundation. The Harts got back the belts they lost to the Hamilton Wrecking Crew thanks to the betrayal of their manager Jimmy Hart. The Hart brothers celebrated as JJ Dillion consoled the Tolos brothers.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
4/4 Demolition battled Mongols in the opening match. The Mongols are a couple big men but they were no match for Demolition who tore through them and got the win with little resistance. Then we see Raven, Stevie Richards and the Briscoe Brothers in the back. They are talking about what happened last week and how Raven's plan worked to perfection. Stevie and the Brothers are having a good laugh while Raven is all serious. Raven looks into the camera for the first time and tells Tommy Dreamer that his personal hell has only just begun. The camera then fades to black. Next Jon Moxley had a rematch from last week when he lost to Chris Candido. Chris looked to be on the way to repeating but Jon fought back and quickly hit his finisher for the win. He was not happy with just the victory as he continued to wail on Chris after the match. Tammy tried to save her man as she slapped at Jon. It worked...kind of. Jon stopped but he got up and grabbed her by the wrist as she went to slap his face. Then he pulled her in and kissed her. After he let her drop to the apron, laughed at her and walked off. Voodoo Kill Mafia and the Young Bucks mixed it up in the next match. VKM worked as a cohesive unit and earned a rather easy victory over the young brothers. The main event was a #1 contender match for the World Champion. It pitted Sabu vs Necro Butcher. As expected the match was a brutal affair. There was as much action outside of the ring as inside. Both men used chairs on each other. In the end Necro won the match and a title shot.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
4/1 This episode was titled "April Foolishness" but for some people it was no laughing matter. The opening match of the show was also the opening match of the King of Trios Tournament. Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw and Jushin Liger took on the Heenan Family of The Vachons and King Kong Bundy. The Heenan Family was in control till Mad Dog and Jigsaw spilled out of the ring. Mike and Butcher then came into the ring and became the legal men. When Mike went for the pin Mad Dog and Bundy came in to make the save and soon all six men were tangling in the ring. Eventually Jigsaw pinned Mad Dog to move his team on to the next round. After it was announced next week would see the Ant Hill (Fire Ant and Army Ant) take on the team of Del Rey, Haze and Pinkie Sanchez in one King of Trios match and in the other it would be Dynasty (Demolition and Killer Khan) facing Joker, Justin Credible and in a bit of a shocker Terry Gordy. For those that do not know Gordy and Credible had a feud a bit over a year ago that went on in a few indy feds. It seems they had patched things up. The next match starts with Shane Storm waiting on the ring to face a new comer to CHIKARA, Hydra. When Hydra first comes out he looks like a small skinny guy that should be watching wrestling not competing. Then he quickly went into the back and when he comes back out he looks much more buff. However his skin has a weird, almost plastic, look to it. Maybe a side effect to whatever performance enhancement he just took. Both men went back and forth with neither getting much traction. After a few minutes BDS member Tursas came down to the ring. In fact he got in the ring and proceeded to destroy both men resulting in a no contest as the ref threw out the match. Tursas left both men laid out and stood over them giving the BDS salute.
We then see Del Rey, Haze and Sanchez in back. They are talking about how they should get a bye into the next round. After all the Ant Hill lost their 3rd member so they are not a trios team but simply a tag team. They all laugh and then Pinkie says speaking of those pesky Ants, he has a match with one now and after he is done they won't be even a tag team. More laughing. Next is the match between Pinkie Sanchez and Fire Ant. Fire Ant lived up to his name as he was angry over the betrayal of Green Ant and was going to take it out on Pinkie. Fire dominated the match and got an easy victory. After he got on the mic and said next week the Ant Hill will win as easy as he just did. He said it does not matter if they seemed out numbered because they always rise to the occasion. They will beat the BDS B team (an obvious dig) and go on to win the Tournament. Then it is time for the main event. BDS (Claudio Castagnoli and die Jager) took on S.C.U.M. in a King of Trios match. It looked like both teams had mutual respect for each other as they shook each others hands. However as they turned to go to their corners S.C.U.M. turned back around and jumped BDS. Jacobs and Corino were working over Donst before he was able to take Corino out of the ring. Claudio and Kevin ran in started brawling. BDS started to turn the tide in their favor and thanks to double and triple teaming they eventually got the win. BDS is moving on to the next round.

Rumors and News
- Horrible news out of NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling. At a house show in Arizona a match was taking place between The Sheik and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. The action spilled outside of the ring and The Sheik tried to hit Hacksaw with a fireball. Unfortunately Hacksaw ducked and the fireball hit a ringside fan in the face. There was a wild scene after as fans scrambled to get away and medical staff tired to get to the fan. Right after NWA:GCW suspended The Sheik indefinitely while they investigated. However the next day they announced they had fired him. If there is any more information we will share it with you.
- Meanwhile at another house show, this time for CHIKARA, it was reported that Ultramantis Black was spotted skulking around. When a CHIKARA official tired to talk to him he took off.

4/10 Supercard of Honor ppv
1) Chris Sabin vs Matt Sydal. The opening match was a high octane one between two young high flyers. Sydal had the early advantage but Sabin fought back and dominated till he finally put Matt away.
2) Samoa Joe vs Tommaso Ciampa. These two have been having a bit of a feud and this match was a continuation of that. Both guys pulled no punches as this was a brutal match. In the end Joe was a bit better and got the victory.
After the match we go to the back where we see AJ Styles on the ground rolling around in pain. Who attacked him? Could it be Adam Cole to avoid their match tonight. We go to Cole who denies any involvement.
3) Austin Aries vs El Generico. Speaking of feuds these two have had issues. Mostly due to Aries not being able to get a win against El Generico. Well The Greatest Man to Ever Live planned on ending that tonight and that is exactly what he did. Generico was in control early but Aries fought back and got the win.
4) W.G.T.T. vs Addiction for the Tag Team Championship. Haas and Daniels started the match and they kept going back and forth with neither able to get any momentum. It was reversal after reversal. Finally Daniels was able to put some offense together but than Haas made a quick tag to Benjamin and the W.G.T.T. started to get on a roll. Once Benjamin missed a leg drop off the turnbuckle Daniels was able to make the tag to Kaz. Then it was Addiciton's turn to get things rolling in their favor. A couple different times both team seemed to be in danger of losing but in the end Daniels got the pin on Benjamin. We had new Tag Team Champions as Addiction regained the titles they lost to W.G.T.T. After the match, reDRagon came to the top of the ramp and stared down the new champs. They are number one contenders and they wanted to remind the new champions of that.
5) AJ Styles vs Adam Cole. AJ was walking with a limp and had his ribs taped up as he came down to the ring. He was in obvious pain but was determined to battle Cole. Maybe he should have stayed in back as Adam controlled the match from start to the end. Something tells us AJ is not done with Adam.
6) Matt Taven vs Jay Lethal vs Kevin Steen vs Rhino in Four Corners match for World Title. The main event started with all four guys staring each other down. Then Steen and Taven went at it as Lethal and Rhino faced off. After a bit Steen and Taven took their fight to outside of the ring while Lethal and Rhino brawled inside of it. Lethal looked to get back at Rhino for turning his back on the House of Truth. Homicide ran down and he and Truth Martini tried to help Jay with Rhino. Meanwhile Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino came down to help Steen work over Taven. It was total bedlam. Since it was a no DQ match it was allowed. However the GM came down and said the fans deserve to see a the match advertised not this insanity. He had security remove Homicide, Truth, Jacobs and Corino from ringside and said if any of them returned they would be suspended for a whole year. Needless to say neither they nor their pals were happy about this. Once they were removed and some sanity was restored the four men in the match went at it again.
At different times in the match each man hit his finisher on someone only to have another combatant break the pin attempt. Rhino set up a table outside of the ring in the corner of the barrier. He leaned up a worn out Lethal up against the table. He then ran to give Lethal a Gore thru the table. He did but right before that Lethal got a chair up and Rhino's momentum put his head into it. Both men were laid out. Inside of the ring Taven was working Steen over and looked to be on the verge of retaining his title. Suddenly someone jumped over the barrier from the crowd. It was Cedric Alexander. He and his teammate in C&C Wrestling Factory, Caprice Coleman, had not been seen in ROH in months. He jumped in the ring and attacked Taven. Why was he doing that? Taven fought back and sent him flying out of the ring. Then someone came running down from the back. It was another ROH wrestler not seen in some time, Nigel McGuinness. Nigel slid in the ring and he started fighting with Taven. Nigel got the best of Matt and had Taven in trouble. Steen recovered by now and was going for the pin when Jay Lethal got back in the ring, nailed Nigel in the back of the head with a forearm knocking him down and broke the pin attempt. Lethal threw Nigel out of the ring and climbed the turnbuckle to hit Hail the King. As he was getting ready someone rolled out from under the ring. It was someone who had not been seen in ROH before but was well known by wrestling fans, Matt Hardy! He pushed Lethal off the turnbuckle sending him crashing down into the ring. Hardy then got into the ring but was met by Matt Taven. The two of the brawled and Taven got the better of it sending Hardy thru the ropes and crashing to the floor. The crowd was going wild. Matt turned around to focus on Steen but he ended up with a Gore from a recovered Rhino. The Gore almost broke Matt in two. With Taven laid out in the middle of the ring Rhino and Steen faced each other on different sides of Taven. Slowly a smile crossed over Steen's face and Rhino gestured for him to cover Matt. Kevin did just that as he laid on top of Matt Taven and the ref counted three. Your winner and new ROH World Champion, Kevin Steen. Cedric, Nigel and Hardy came back into the ring and they celebrated with Kevin and Rhino. What does this all mean? Did S.C.U.M. just grow with new members?
4/13 The show starts with the new World Champion Kevin Steen in the middle of the ring surrounded by the other members of S.C.U.M. Jacobs, Corino, Alexander, McGuinness, Hardy and Rhino. Steen said their plan worked to perfection. They said they would rule the coop and now they do. They have the World title and all the power. No one can stop them. Cedric said Caprice was holding him back in their tag team. Now he is free and going to be a dominating single wrestler. Nigel said Steen and Jacobs made him an offer he could not refuse and makes the money gesture by sliding his fingers together. Hardy said S.C.U.M. is the future of ROH and wrestling. But they needed some veteran leadership, someone who is the now to help take them to the next level and that is why he is there. They needed an icon and that is what he is. Rhino then took the mic and said the group needed some muscle and that is what he does best. Plus it allowed him to get back at the House of Truth.
The action then kicked off with a rematch from Sunday as Chris Sabin battled Matt Sydal. Matt was looking to even the score from the ppv but it was more of the same for him as Sabin earned the victory. Next it is announced that reDRagon is cashing in their number one contender shot tonight in the main event. Also the next match will be the first match in ROH for Matt Hardy. He faces off against HOT member Homicide as Lethal is still recovering from the ppv. Matt is in control early but Homicide turns things around when they go outside of the ring and he hits his finisher for the win. Right after Rhino runs down and beats Homicide down and finishes him off with a Gore. He and Hardy stand tall over Homicide. The next match pits Michael Elgin against Roderick Strong. ELgin used his size advantage to control the match early on but Strong fought back and picked up with W. Then it was time for the main event. A Tag Team Championship match between newly crowned champions Addiction, their 2nd run with the belts, and number one contenders reDRagon. Chris and Kyle started the match and at the very beginning Kyle was in trouble but he quickly turned things around. He and Bobby used frequent tags and they wore Daniels down. They hit Chasing the Dragon early in the match and got a shocking win. Kaz never even got involved. After the match was over he came in the ring to help Daniels up. Then to the shock of everyone he laid Chris out with a clothesline. He then picked Chris up and placed him on the turnbuckle so he could hit the Flux Capacitor. He was looking down at his tag, or should we say, former tag partner with a sneer on his face as the show ended.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
4/9 The show started with tag action between Midnight Express and the team of Angelo and Lanny Poffo. The father son team actually was getting the better of the Express early on. But the Midnight Express fought back and got the hard earned victory. Next Bobo Brazil faced off against Les Thatcher. Bobo took it to Les and after a couple finishers got the quick dominating win. Next Mr Saito took on Jimmy Snuka. It was a hard hitting back and forth. The action spilled to the outside and both men grabbed chairs and started hitting each other with them. The ref lost control and called for the bell. The match was a double DQ. The main event was a Tag Title Championship match as the Road Warriors defended against Heenan Family members The Vachons. The Vachons had Hawk in trouble early but the champs fought back and before long had defended their titles successfully.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors
AWA
4/12 The action kicked off with the debut of American Starship. They took on the team of Playboy Buddy Rose and Bob Roop. The large Coyote started off for his team. Rose and Roop used frequent tags to try and wear him down but his size was a problem for them. Then things got worse when he tagged in the larger Eagle. He stood almost 7 foot tall and loomed over his smaller opponents. Before long he had earned the victory for his team. It seems American Starship was off to a good start in AWA. Bobby Shane battled Magnum TA in the following match. The young stud earned another victory as he pinned Bobby. A rematch from a couple weeks back was next on the schedule as the Valiant Brothers faced off against the team of Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. The brothers worked over the Sheik but he fought back and tagged in Nikolai. The Russian used his massive size to wear his opponents down. Before long he had Jimmy in a Russian bear hug and made him submit. The main event saw two of the best single wrestlers face each other as the leader of the Four Horsemen Buddy Rogers took on Nick Bockwinkel. Not only do both men have issues with each other but both former World Champions are looking to get back in the title picture. A victory here would go along way to help with that. Nick controlled Buddy early on. Buddy stood tall as he worked out of the Nick's sleeper finisher 3 times and his Figure Four once. Still Buddy looked to be in trouble but while his manager JJ distracted the ref Killer Kowalski ran down and attacked Nick. That was all Buddy needed as soon he slapped on his version of the Figure Four and "earned" the win.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
4/11 The show starts with The Shard taking on D'lo Brown. Both men went back and forth with being in control but eventually The Shard got on a roll and picked up the win. Next former tag champions Sandman and Tommy Dreamer took on the young team of the Young Bucks. The Bucks used their speed and agility advantage to be in control early but soon the rough and tough vets turned things into their advantage and defeated the Bucks. Rich Swann was looking to get back on a victory streak as he took on Raven's Flock member, and top lackey, Stevie Richards. Richards had issues with Swann's quickness but his cheating ways turned the tide and he pinned Swann after a Stevie Kick. In the main event Taz defended the World Championship against number one contender Necro Butcher. Necro kept trying to take the match outside of the ring where he could use his crazy tactics to wear the champ down. It worked, at least for awhile. Then Taz started fighting back and showed he can go toe to toe with the tough Butcher and after a couple close pin attempts he was finally able to put him away for good. Taz is showing ECW that the World title is his and he has no plans on losing it.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
4/8 The first match is a King of Trios Tournament match. It is Dynasty (Demolition and Killer Khan) against Joker, Justin Credible and Terry Gordy. Dynasty was in control of things early on thanks to Demolition. However once Gordy got in he helped turn things around for his team. Once Khan got in for the second time Gordy and Credible used frequent tags to wear him down. Joker got in and came close to getting the win. He then went after Demolition in their corner. With the ref distracted Justin used a Singapore cane on Khan. Once the ref regained control Gordy tagged in and finished Khan off. Their team is moving on. Next Hydra was looking for revenge against Tursas for what Tursas did to him last week. That was not a wise decision as Tursas destroyed him. We then get an announcement for the King of Trios matches for next week. The Eye (VKM and The Shard) take on Larry and Curt Henning and Angelo Mosca in one match the other will see Team Horsemen (Hamilton Wrecking Crew and Killer Kowalski) take on Team NJPW (Forever Hooligan and Antonio Inoki).
Then back to action. Tag team action to be precise. Naptown Dragons faced off against Incoherence. The Dragons were looking to earn a second point but it was not to be. They started hot but Incoherence quickly turned things around and got the win. It was time for the main event, another match in the King of Trios Tournament. First out were members of BDS; Sara Del Rey, Daizee Haze and Pinkie Sanchez. They were accompained by Green Ant. Then it was time for their opponents Ant Hill, Soldier Ant and Fire Ant. They came down to ring side and stood there. Pinkie got a mic and said come on in or if they are scared they can just forfeit. Soldier Ant then got a mic and said this is a Trios match and as you can see there are only two of them...right now. Time for their partner to join them and complete the Ant Hill. The BDS members looked confused and then they turn and look at Green who shrugs his shoulders and waves his hands to say it is not him. We then all find out as Soldier says no not him but the newest member of The Colony and the Trios team of Ant Hill. Introducing...Worker Ant. A new wrestler comes out wearing a cowboy hat and denim vest. The match starts with Fire Ant and Sara Del Rey. Sara is in trouble so she rolls out of the ring. Fire Ant runs, jumps over the top rope and takes out Sara. Then Soldier Ant and Pinkie get in the ring. Soldier works Pinkie over and after a bit tags Fire back in. Pinkie tries desperately to tag out but Fire wont let him. Then the Ants perform their Trios move Ant Hill as Fire Ant nails Pinkie and covers him for the win. Worker Ant never got in except to help with the finisher. The BDS members could not believe they lost and the girls were yelling at Pinkie who tried to say it wasn't his fault. Then he tried to turn attention to Green Ant saying he should have warned them about Worker Ant but Green says he knew nothing about it. While not the first lost for BDS this might be the most damaging so far.

Rumors and News
- We are trying to get an interview with the poor fan that was hit with a fireball from The Sheik. We hope to have something for our loyal readers in next few weeks.
- Inside sources have let us in on the identities of American Starship. Coyote is long time wrestler Ox Baker. He has made the rounds of regional indy feds, spending a lot of time in Canada. Eagle is a new comer to the scene, Dan Spivey.
- ROH fresh off the Supercard of Honor PPV has announced their next PPV. It will be in June and be named Death Before Dishonor.
ROH
4/20 The show starts with AJ Styles being interviewd in back. He says he is healed up from when he was attacked before his match at Supercard of Honor. He said Cole has much to answer for and after he beats Cole tonight he will get those answers. Then AJ walks off to the ring. AJ stats off going full throttle at Cole but Cole quickly turns things around. He gets some quick pin attempts in but AJ kicks out. After a bit more offense Cole was able to put AJ away. Looks like AJ will have to wait on those answers as Cole just left after the bell. Next new S.C.U.M. member Cedric Alexander took on House of Truth member Homicide. Homicide tore into Cedric. Even used a fork once while Truth had the ref distracted. Homicide hit his finisher and was on the verge of winning when Matt Hardy ran down and hopped on the apron. Homicide went to knock him off but Matt caught him and gave him a Twist of Hate. This allowed Cedric to wear down Homicide and eventually get the pin.
Jimmy Jacobs did a promo about how S.C.U.M. has the ROH World title but they were not done. Soon they would be going after the Tag titles. So reDRagon better enjoy them while they can. Then it is back to the ring for tag action as former champions W.G.T.T. took on another former champions in War Machine. It seemed W.G.T.T. was trying to send a message as them were more physical then usual as they took it to War Machine and got the W. Then it was main event time as Matt Taven faced off against Rhino. Matt was looking for revenge for the Gore he took from Rhino that cost him the ROH World Championship. Sadly he would have to get that another day as Rhino was physically dominating and finished Matt off with the Gore. Perhaps Matt was still sore from the beating he took at the PPV as he seemed a step slow.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
4/16 Action started with a rematch from last week that ended in double DQ. Mr Saito took on Jimmy Snuka. Snuka tried using his speed advantage but it was no match for the power of Mr Saito. Next was an exciting tag match between Midnight Express and the team of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hillbilly Jim. The two Jims had Stan Lane in trouble early. Once Stan was able to tag out to Eaton things started turning around for the Midnighters and soon they picked up the win. The main event was a title match for the US belt. Champion Bruiser Brody faced off against Bobo Brazil. Bobo had been on a roll but he did not bring his A game as Brody dominated him and picked up an easy win.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Champion: Bruiser Brody
AWA
4/19 Harley Race vs Red Bastien in a rematch from a recent show kicked off this week. Red put up a good fight but it was not enough in the end as Race got the win. Next American Starship took on the Love Brothers in a tag match. The Loves seemed to have more than they could handle and they seemed to know it as they did not wait for the bell to get things started. They jumped Starship soon as they entered the ring and wore them down. Once the match officially started Coyote started for his team and the Love Brothers never let him tag out before putting him away. Is this a set back that American Starship can bounce back from or are they over before they get things started. Main event was for the World title as Frank Gotch took on Freddie Blassie. Frank started off in control and was wearing Freddie down. It seemed he would have an easy night but Freddie quickly turned things around and hit a neckbreaker to get the first pin fall. After that Frank got back on the offense and got Freddie to submit to his toe hold finisher to even the match at one fall each. It was more of the same in the deciding third fall as he was able to get Freddie in the toe hold again with the same result. Frank defended his title two falls to one.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
4/18 Super Crazy and Rich Swann were in the opening match. Crazy was in control early but Swann used his speed and agility to turn things around and ended up with the victory. Next Adrian Street took on Colt Cabana. It started going back and forth but before long Street wore down Colt and pinned him. The following match was Jon Moxley going up against the unsettled one Al Snow. Jon showed his fighting prowess at the beginning of the match. But while Al has been showing signs he has lost his mind lately he is still a talented wrestler and he started turning the match into his favor. Once he had control it seemed Jon did not know how to regain it for himself and eventually Snow put him away. After the match D'lo Brown and Val Venis run down and start to beat on Snow. Jon watches for a short bit then he starts pulling them off Snow to make the save. Things end with Brown and Venis on the floor looking up at Moxley and Snow in the ring motioning for them to get back in the ring. The main event was for the #1 contender to the Tag Team Champions. It saw former champions Sandman and Tommy Dreamer take on Voodoo Kill Mafia. It was mostly a slug fest with little technical wrestling and only a couple high flying moves. In the end Dreamer hit a Death Valley driver on Kip and got the win. Once the match was over Raven's Flock came out from back and stood at the entrance and stared at the new top contenders. Briscoe Brothers held the titles up high, looked at them then back to Sandman and Dreamer in the ring.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
4/15 The show starts with a King of Trios Tournament match as The Eye (VKM and The Shard) took on No Name Needed (Larry & Curt Henning and Angelo Mosca). The Hennings might be family but VKM worked better as The Eye had little trouble putting away No Name Needed and moved on in the tournament. We then get an announcement for the final two King of Trios Tournament matches next week. In one match Team ROH (War Machine and Samoa Joe) take on Ravens Flock (Raven and Briscoe Brothers). In the other match The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Incoherence and Crossbones) will face Thunder From Down Under (The Kangaroos and George Hackenschmidt). The main question is will Ultramantis Black come down with his men. In the next match Claudio Castagnoli of BDS took on Jushin Liger. Jushin used his speed to keep things close at first but soon Claudio used his large strength advantage to pick up the win. Tag action was next as Incoherence went up against The Throwbacks. It seems Incoherence are on a mission as they stood tall and put down their opponents to pick up a second point toward a title match. Then it was time for the main event and another King of Trios Tournament match. Team Horsemen (Killer Kowalski and Hamilton Wrecking Crew) against Team NJPW (Forever Hooligans and Antonio Inoki). Antonio was in control early but once he tagged out the Horsemen started gaining control. It was not long and they picked up the victory to move on.

Rumors and News
- sources have said that management of Georgia Championship Wrestling is at odds of the management of NWA. Both sides when reached for comment said there is no truth to that and things are good. In last few months two smaller promotions have withdrawn from the NWA so we will keep an eye on this.
- thanks to their appearance in the King Of Trios Tournament there is a lot of interest in the US for the Kangaroos tag team. It is possible there might be a bidding war between two or more companies to sign them.
ROH
4/27
The show begins with Kazarian in the ring. He said there have been a lot of people asking why he attacked Christopher Daniels. That there are a lot of questions about what is going on. He wants Daniels to come to the ring to take care of some business. After a bit Daniels comes down to the ring. He says he is waiting to hear Kazarian's reasoning for what he did a couple weeks ago. Kaz says he did not call Daniels to come down to discuss what happen or even to talk. He says he got the GM to agree to a match between them and it starts now. He then hits a running clothsline on Daniels to start the action. Thanks to the sneak attack Kaz dominates his former tag partner and after hitting a second Fade To Black puts Daniels away. After Kaz just looks down at Daniels with a smirk on his face and walks off. The next match is one of opposites, pitting the speed of El Generico against the power of Donovan Dijak. El Generico was in control early but soon as Donovan got his hands on him he turned things around. It took three straight Feast Your Eyes to finally put Generico away but Donovan did get the win.
Next we had tag action between War Machine and tag team of The Brian Kendrick and Moose. The loosing streak of War Machine continued as Kendrick and Moose worked real good together and got the win. We then get an announcement that next week Matt Taven will take on Jay Lethal in a #1 contenders match. The main event was between two guys that had been having some hard hitting matches, Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa. This was no exception. It was a long hard match with both guys taking it to each other. In the end Joe came out on top. After the match after both men caught their breath they shook hands in a show of respect that the fans loved.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
4/23 Ted Dibiase took on George Steele to start the show. George was in control early but lost focus and Ted got the win. Next we had The Vachons take on the Killer Bees. The Bees went on the attack from the start and never let up till they had beat The Vachons. Bobby Heenan was very upset after. Then we had a match between Greg Valentine and Les Thatcher. It is announced that if Greg wins he will get a World title match next week. Greg showed he might be ready for a title match as he beat the talented Les pretty easily. After the match Beefcake confronts Valentine again trying to find out what is going on but Greg has nothing to say and leaves. Main event is Mr Saito against Mil Mascaras. In a bit of an upset Mascaras got the win. It seems an upset based on Mil not doing good lately while Saito has been looking real strong.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors
AWA
4/26 Show starts with a shot of Owen Hart laid out back in the dressing room. Bret comes running up to check on his brother and asking what happened. As medical staff starts to check on Owen JJ Dillon walks up and says he is shocked to see Owen like this. JJ then says it is such bad timing since the Hart Foundation had a title match tonight against the Hamilton Wrecking Crew. Bret says they can not defend tonight, Owen is in no condition to fight. JJ says that is unfortunate because the contract the Harts agreed too and signed to get their title match said the Crew would get a rematch whenever they wanted if the Harts won which they did. Plus it says if the Hart's do not or can not defend the belts they would forfeit them. So either way the Crew will be in the ring for the main event and Bret will be there, to either defend the belts or hand them over. Could the Horsemen be behind what happened to Owen? Then it was to the ring for the opening match. Speaking of the Horsemen, Killer Kowalski took on Missing Link. Link is surprisingly in control early but Killer fights back and picks up the win.
The next match is between Bryan Danielson and Bill Dundee. Dundee is in trouble most of the match but Bryan just can not put him away. Eventually time runs out and the match ends in a draw. Then it is main event time. The Hamilton Wrecking Crew came out and were making the belt motion hand gesture as they seemed confident they were getting the belts back one way or another. Bret came out by himself to a good pop. JJ asked him if he wanted to take a beating and lose the titles of just hand them over. Bret says he has never been afraid of a fight so "just ring the damn bell". The crowd was strongly behind him. Bret is in trouble early but fights back. He gets Chris Tolos in the Sharpshooter and his brother John makes no attempt to save him. Chris ends up tapping and the crowd goes wild. Bret stand on a turnbuckle and celebrates with the crowd. JJ gets on the mic and asks Bret what he's doing. Then JJ says oh that's right I forgot to mention earlier that the contract they signed also said their title match was a best of 3 falls. At that John runs in and attacks Bret from behind. Even with that Bret is able to fight back. He is on the verge of winning when JJ distracts the ref. As that happens Kowalski runs in and attacks Bret. Then John and Kowalski hit a double team move on Bret. When the ref turns around he sees John going for the cover and counts to three. Just like that the match is tied one fall a piece. It seems the Crew is on the verge of winning the titles back. Once again Bret shows what he is made of and feeds off the fans to fight back. He got John in the Sharpshooter when Chris came in to break the hold. Bret and Chris exchange some blows. Then Chris went to clothsline Bret but Bret ducked and Chris hit his brother John. Bret then dropkicked Chris out of the ring, put John back in the Sharpshooter and got John to tap. Against all odds Bret defended the tag titles all by himself. After the ref called for the bell Bret rolled out of the ring, grabbed the titles and ran into the crowd before the Horsemen could give him a beat down. What lays ahead for the Hart Foundation and the Horsemen?
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
4/25 Opening match sees Jerry Lynn beat Sabu in a quick, fast paced match. Then it is announced starting next week ECW will be running a tournament to crown the 1st ECW TV Champion. Next we see Raven in a rare single match as he battled Larry Sweeney. Larry starts strong but thanks to some interference by Stevie Richards Raven is able to turn the tide and pick up the W. We get a rematch next between Jon Moxley and Al Snow. Much like last week Jon starts strong but Al is able to put him away. This time it was due to Jon charging at him in the corner but Al moved causing Jon to run himself into the turnbuckle. Once again after the match D'lo and Val run down and start to attack Al. They turned their attention to Jon but he simply rolled out of the ring this time and left Al to defend himself. He could not as D'lo and Val left him laid out. Did Jon not help this time out of jealousy of losing to Al two weeks in a row? The main event was the Tag Champions Briscoe Brothers of Raven's Flock taking on #1 contenders Sandman & Tommy Dreamer. It was a rough match with more fighting than actual wrestling. In the end the Brothers hit the Doomsday Device and defended their titles.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
4/22 We start the show with a King of Trios tournament match with Team ROH (War Machine and Samoa Joe) taking on Raven's Flock (Raven and Briscoe Brothers). There was a lot of break downs in this match with more than 2 guys in the ring many times. In the end the Briscoe Brothers hit a Doomsday Device on Hanson and Raven's Flock won to move on in the tournament. Next Jigsaw faced off against Green Ant and picked up a win. Icarus took on Shane Storm in the next match. Icarus dominated but Shane kept kicking out of pin attempts. Finally Icarus was able to pin Shane without him kicking out. After the match Icarus viciously attacked Shane and injured him. Then it was time for the main event. It was the final opening round match of the King of Trios tournament as The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Incoherence and Crossbones) took on Thunder From Down Under (Kangaroos and George Hackenschmidt). This was a solid good match with The Order slowly gaining momentum. It seemed they were on the verge of winning when BDS leader Tyler Black started to sneak down to the ring. It looked like he was going to interfere when suddenly someone ran from the back and attacked him. It was non other than the returning Ultramantis Black who attacked Tyler. Officials ran down to separate them as The Order was able to finish the job and pick up the win to advance. Where has Ultramantis been? Now that he is back will he return the Jewel to BDS or does he plan on fighting them and running them out of CHIKARA? Only time will tell.

ROH
5/4 Show begins with an announcement that AJ Styles was supposed to face Adam Cole tonight but he was the victim of another attack and is unable to go. Austin Aries will take his place. Then it is to the ring for action between two bitter enemies. Rhino battled Homicide. Rhino had the early advantage but Homicide fought back and was dominating. It seemed he was on the way to a victory but then his hatred toward Rhino took over and he pulled his infamous fork out and used it on Rhino to bust him open. Of course that led to him being disqualified but he did not seem to mind as causing Rhino pain was his main objective. Next Adam Cole and Austin Aries squared off. Aries simply dominated the match and got a quick win thanks to a brainbuster. After as leaving he looked into the camera and said he could not understand why AJ was having so much trouble with Cole and laughed. We then got a promo stating that Forever Hooligans would soon be arriving in ROH. The next match saw Nigel McGuinness of S.C.U.M. beat the young Adam Page. The main event was to determine the #1 contender to the World champion and saw Matt Taven face Jay Lethal. The GM declared no one could be ringside. That might have been a factor in Jay losing to Matt. It is possible Truth Martini could have turned the tide for his man.

4/30 We start the show with a match between Don Leo Jonathan and Boris Zhukov. When Don Leo came down he got a good cheer from the crowd and he did not seem to know what to make of it. Guess being booed for so long hearing cheers was strange. It did not take long for him to defeat Boris. After the match Boris was yelling and threatening the ref. It seems his losing has been taking a toll on him. After that we see Bobby Heenan in the locker room talking to The Vachons. He tells them he has a plan to insure the Family picks up a tag team win and gets back on the path to tag old. It is thanks to him, points and up walks King Kong Bundy. Bundy slaps the brothers on the back and says "let's go boy". All four men stand in the ring as they wait the other tag team. Down to the ring walks a very tall man. Standing almost 7 foot tall. He is introduced as Big John Studd. Seems a fitting name. As he is standing in the ring the ref looks around wondering where John's partner is. Soon The Vachons seem to be wondering that too as they look at the ref with questioning faces and at John. Suddenly King Kong Bundy nails both of them from behind with a double clothsline. Heenan laughs and instructs Bundy and John to attack The Vachons. It seems Heenan has double crossed the brothers. Needless to say the match was a quick squash. The team of King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd finished The Vachons off with what Heenan later said was their finisher, Passport To China. Studd body slammed Mad Dog and right after Bundy splashed him. Heenan said he had a plan to guarantee a tag win and he sure did. Not only that but it seems he has a formidable tag team that could challenge the champion Road Warriors.
In a rematch from last weeks main event Mr Saito took on Mil Mascaras. Much like last week Mil was shocking everyone especially Saito by dominating the action. But this time Mr Saito had enough and while outside of the ring took a chair and hit Mil with it to get disqualified. Mil has now won two in a row against Mr Saito. Will Saito move on or will he be looking for revenge? Then it was time for the main event. Randy Savage defended the World Championship against Greg Valentine who has been on a roll since going single. Speaking of, his former tag partner Brutus Beefcake came down a bit after the match started. Both Randy and Greg told him to leave. He just stood ring side watching the match. Randy was in control early but then when both men were out of the ring Brutus got between them. When Randy tried to push him out of the way Brutus hit him with a forearm. Since Randy initiated contact the ref let it go but quickly got in Brutus's face and told him to go to the back. After this Greg was able to get momentum going and in a bit of an upset got Randy to submit to his Figure Four. Just like that we had a new World Champion. So was the fighting between Beefcake and Valentine all just a ruse?
World Champion: Greg Valentine Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Champion: Bruiser Brody
AWA
5/3 The show begins with Bret being interviewed about Owen. He says Owen is hurt and will be out a couple more weeks. He says that after what happened to Owen he realizes just how dangerous the Four Horsemen are and he needs to do something to combat them. The Horsemen started this fight but the Foundation will end it. Then it is to the ring for the opening match. Red Bastien takes on someone he beat a month or so ago, Magnum T.A. This time the young up and comer got the better of Red. After we get an interview of the Hamilton Wrecking Crew. They are being asked about what Bret said when suddenly they are attacked by the returning Sheepherders. It is a wild brawl that is quickly broke up by security. Next The Empire faces off with American Starship. Once again the new tag team came up short. The main event pitted Buddy Rogers against Nick Bockwinkel. Nick took it to the leader of the Horsemen. It seemed he was on the verge of a win when Killer Kowalski came down and got involved. The ref gave a lot of leeway, perhaps due to being intimidated by the Horsemen. After a bit of offense Buddy, thanks to an assist from the ropes, picked up the win. Before the show ends we get an announcement that next week Frank Gotch will defend the World title against former champion Harley Race.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
5/2 The first match is an opening match in the TV Title tournament. Jerry Lynn took it too Super Crazy and picked up a dominating win. Crazy sat in the ring for a bit after in total shock. Then we get a back stage interview with the Briscoes. Jay is talking about how they are the most dominating tag team and Mark is behind him shaking his head in agreement when suddenly Jay stops talking and just stares off to the side. Mark is confused, looks at his brother than in the direction Jay is looking to see what he sees. Then Mark gets a serious look on his face too as the camera pans over to reveal Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. Davey and Eddie smile, make the tag belt motion across their wastes and walk off. Looks like the Briscoes have more challengers coming their way. The following match was One Man Gang against Rich Swann. Rich used his speed to throw OMG off his game but eventually OMG was able to use his power to turn it around. After picking up the win he got on the mic and said he is tired of facing scrubs. It is time he got a shot at gold. He wants to talk to Taz next week and if Taz knows what is good for him the pip squeak will be here next week. In the next match Demolition squashed Mongols. The way they handled the big strong Mongols shows they want to make a mark in the ECW tag division. The main event was another match in the TV Title tournament. RVD took on Stevie Richards of Raven's Flock. Stevie came down by himself which was probably not wise as RVD seemed very focused and dominated Stevie to move on.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers TV Title: TBD
CHIKARA
4/29 Amber is trying to get an interview with Ultramantis Black to start the show but is unsuccessful. First match is a quarterfinal match in the King of Trios Tournament. Team CHIKARA took on Team NJPW. Early on Forever Hooligans were working Mike Quackenbush over and almost got the pin on him as he kicked out at 2 3/4. A bit later they went for a 2nd cover and Jigsaw broke it up. This lead to a brawl with all 6 men in the ring. Eventually Jigsaw nailed his finisher on Inoki and got the win for his team. After the match the Hooligans were very upset because they thought they had the match in hand. Then end up arguing and then attacking Inoki. This might be the end of their time in NJPW. Next Incoherence went for their 3rd point so they could challenge die Jager for the titles. It is possible CHIKARA officials want them to succeed as their opponents were Shane Storm and Hydra. Hydra started for his team and never tagged out before being pinned. Incoherence had their 3rd point. How long before they cash in? And will they be successful in gaining the belts back from BDS. Eddie Kingston faced Tiger Mask in a non title match next. Tiger put up a good fight but Eddie's viciousness was too much for him. In the main event BDS faced The Eye in another quarterfinal match for the King of Trios. Claudio and The Shard started for their teams. They stared at each other for a bit then Claudio slowly backed up and tagged out. It would seem he would not be scared of The Shard. Weird to say the least. Later in the match BDS hit their trios finisher, Ragnarock, on The Shard but Kip made the save. It only delayed the outcome as a short time later die Jager hit their finisher on Kip and won the match. After next week we will have the final four in the King of Trios Tournament as Ant Hill takes on Raven's Flock and The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple battles Horror Show.

Wrestling Wrap-up Weekly - Vol 2, Issue 19
Rumors and News
- NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling is thinking of adding a US Tag Title. It believed to be due to the success of the US single title but there is also talk it is due to all the tag teams in the promotion while the Road Warriors seem to have an iron grip on the Tag Team titles.
- Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards have recently joined ECW. They will be going by the name of The Wolves as opposed to The American Wolves they were known by in ROH.
- We promised it and here is is. The interview with the fan that took a fireball from The Sheik. It might be an eye opener for some.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
We meet the fan who was a victim of the worst accident at a wrestling show in recent history if not all time at his plush homestead. As an agreement to do this interview he asked we did not reveal where in Arizona he lived nor what his name is. He would not acknowledge if he had this nice abode before the incident or if it was purchased with funds from a possible settlement with NWA. We sat out by a nice sized underground pool that was surrounded by some tasteful water fountains and a man made waterfall that fed into a hot tub. The fan sat down, his face still heavily bandaged, and sipped from his glass of lemonade.
WWW: First thing we would like to thank you for doing this interview and wish you a speedy recovery. How are you doing?
Fan: I am OK. About as good as can be expected considering the hell I was forced to endure.
WWW: Have you spoke with The Sheik since the accident? Have you forgive him and if not do you plan on doing so?
Fan: Hell no I have not talked to him. And let's get one thing straight. This was no accident. It was a careless act by a maniac. I have not nor will I EVER forgive him. I want to see him pay. I want to see him broken. To suffer like I have had to suffer.
WWW: Speaking of paying, there has been talk of you suing NWA or even having...
At this point his cell phone rang and he took a short call.
Fan: I am sorry, something has come up and I have to cut this interview short. I just want it to be known I was forced to go to a dark place because of this. A very dark place. I do not plan on just being a victim. I will hunt down The Sheik and make him pay. Where ever he shows up I will be close behind him. I will menace him and follow him to the ends of the world. You know, in fact that is how you can describe me. You wanted a name to use for the interview so there you go. Just call me the Dark Menace.
Powerful stuff fans. Who knows when these two will cross paths but trust that Wrestling Wrap-up Weekly will be there to cover all the hot action.
ROH
5/11 Show starts with announcement that the main event will be a World title match between Steen and #1 contender Matt Taven. Then it is to the ring for the first match. Chris Sabin takes on Matt Sydal. Chris was aggressive from the start and picked up a solid win. Then it was tag action as W.G.T.T. faced The Brian Kendrick & Moose in a real exciting match. W.G.T.T. took it to Brian Kendrick right off the bat as they were looking to send a message to the champions. They almost got the pin but Moose made the save. Brian tagged out and then it was Moose's chance to go on a dominating streak as he took it to Haas. After a pounce and Spear Moose almost got the win. a bit more offense and then it was W.G.T.T. that used double teaming to turn things around. Brian got back in but was quickly pinned. W.G.T.T. is set on getting the gold back around their waists. Then Jimmy Jacobs comes out to say unfortunately Steen will not be able to defend his title tonight. His flight was delayed and will not arrive in time. But not to fear, Matt Taven will have a mach tonight. Against non other than the Icon, Matt Hardy. He says what a special treat for Taven and for the fans.
The next match is Roderick Strong against Donovan Dijak. Strong is in control early but the young Donovan used his size and power advantage to turn things in his favor and picked up a bit of an upset win. It is time for the main event. Taven is out first then Hardy is out to a rain of boos. Hardy starts fast but Taven starts to turn things around. He hits his finisher a couple times and comes close to a pin a few times. When he hits his 3rd finisher Nigel McGuinness runs down to try and save Hardy but the ref does not allow his interference and calls for the bell resulting in Hardy being disqualified. After the rest of S.C.U.M. sans the champ Steen run down and start to beat down Matt Taven. After a Gore from Rhino the group stands around Taven's body when suddenly here comes Kevin Steen running down the ramp...pulling his suitcase behind him. He looks surprised about what is going on and asks if he is late for his match. Then he gets in the ring and stands over Taven with an evil grin on his face as he raises the title high.

5/7 An interesting sight greets fans as the show starts. Sitting in the front row is Kevin Sullivan. He has not been seen since announcing the disbanding of his group Army of Darkness in ECW. Then he said they would be back. Could he be looking to restart his faction in NWA:GCW? First match saw Midnight Express face off against S.S.T. The S.S.T. had Stan Lane in trouble early and looked like they would finish the match quick but Eaton made a pin save and a bit after Lane was able to tag him in. He got in some offense and thanks to a mistake by Samu running into a turnbuckle got the victory for his team. It was almost a big upset on the Expresses march to another tag title match. After we see Beefcake walking up to Valentine in the back. Brutus says the World title looks good on Greg's shoulder and Greg has him to thank for that. Valentine just looks at him, shakes his head and walks off leaving Beefcake with a confused look on his face. Ted Dibiase takes on the new comer Jimmy Snuka in the second match. It starts off with some good back and forth but slowly Ted wears Jimmy downs and finishes him off for the W.
The next match starts with Angelo and Lanny Poffo coming down for a tag match. When they get in the ring Lanny asks for the mic. His dad tries to talk him out of it but he gets one. Lanny says from now on this team will be known as Poffo Power! Angelo just rolls his eyes. We guess daddy Poffo does not like the name. Their opponents came out next. The newest tag team in the Heenan Family, King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd. John and Lanny started and the match did not last long. Bundy and John quickly hit the Passport To China and got a quick win. They sure have looked impressive as a team so far. Then it was main event time. Cowboy Bob Orton took on Giant Baba. It was back and forth early on but slowly Baba started getting momentum. After a few close pin attempts he hit a Neckbreaker Drop and seemed on the verge of a pinning win when suddenly someone ran down to attack Baba. It was Fritz von Goering. Bobby Heenan seemed confused what was going on. However after the ref called for the bell and disqualified Orton Heenan stopped his act and got in the face of the ref to argue the decision. But really it was to distract the ref while Orton and what seems to be the newest member of the Heenan Family, Goering, beat down Giant Baba. Hard to believe but all the members of the Heenan Family when NWA:GCW first started thier weekly TV show are out of the Family. It is a new age for the Heenan Family.
World Champion: Greg Valentine Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
5/10 Bryan Danielson had a rematch with Bill Dundee to start the show. Their last match ended in a time limit draw. In this one Bryan took it too Bill and seemed on the way to an easy win. However the action spilled to outside of the ring and it all broke down. Both guys tore into each other and ended up using chairs to hit each other causing the ref to call for the double disqualification. Looks like nothing got settled here. The next match saw the returning Sheepherders take on the Love Brothers. The Sheepherders wanted everyone, especially the Hamilton Wrecking Crew, to know they were back and a force to be reckoned with. They won the match quick and the Love Brothers were not happy as they got in the Sheepherders face and jawed with them. No post match punches were thrown but it came close to that. Then it was the main event, title match for the World Championship as the champion Frank Gotch took on former champ Harley Race. Race looked close to getting the first fall in the best of three but Frank turned things around and started to work over Harley's leg. Then he slapped on his finisher, the Gotch Toehold and won the first fall. In the second he continued to work over the leg and got Race to tap. In a bit of a shocker Gotch beat Race two falls to none. To think when Frank first come back all he did was lose and he came close to retiring again and here he is World Champion and just dominated one of the best in the world today, Harley Race.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
5/9 Necro Butch took on Chris Candido in a TV Title tournament match to kick off the action. Chris got in a little offense but before long Necro over powered him and after a couple finishers got the win to move on. Adrian Street faced Super Crazy in the next match. Crazy seemed upset in losing last week in hit tournament match and took it out on Street. Crazy was aggressive and got the win. Next was the debut of The Wolves as they took on the Young Bucks. Eddie started and was doing good till one mistake gave the Bucks control. After a bit Stevie Richards came down. He got up on the apron and Davey came to knock him off. As the ref tried to get Davey back in his corner Stevie gave Eddie a superkick followed by superkicks from both members of the Bucks. They hit More Bang For Your Buck and went for the pin. Davey tried to get in to make the save but Stevie grabbed his leg from the floor just long enough for the Bucks to pick up the upset win. Main event was a TV Title tournament match between Jon Moxley and Sabu. It was a hard hitting back and forth match that ended with a win for Jon. It could be looked at as a bit of an upset.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
5/6 The Ant Hill took on Raven's Flock in the opening match a King of Trios match. It was a good back and forth match till Worker Ant got in for the first time in the tournament. Not long after the Briscoes wore him down and Jay pinned him. So it will not be an all CHIKARA in the final four. Tursas of BDS faced Icarus next. Icarus kept using his speed to his advantage and after slapping on a sleeper got an upset win. We then get an interview with Hydra before his match. He says he is sad that everyone blames him for losing last week. It is not his fault his tag partner whoever he was did not help out. Amber says that was Shane Storm. Hydra said "huh that was not Shane, I mean, um, that is, wait, you see I mean that....what?". He then started to say something as he raised his hand with a finger pointing up then just left to the ring. Talk about weird. And that is saying something when talking about a guy with weird looking "muscles" named Hydra in CHIKARA. His match was against Pinkie Sanchez and the theme of upsets continued as he got on a roll offensively and pulled the upset over Pinkie. After the match when Pinkie got back to the BDS locker room Del Rey and Haze were laughing and giving him a hard time. He got mad and stomped off. It was then time for the main event. The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple against Horror Show in a King of Trios tournament match. Horror Show was in control early with the only problem being Credible refused to tag in Gordy. Could their past issues be resurfacing? Slowly Neo-Solar regained control thanks to Incoherence working as a well oiled machine. Then went to pin Credible and Joker started to get in to make the save when Gordy put his hand on Joker's shoulder and shook his head no. Just like that the match was over and The Order was moving on. But the issues between Credible and Gordy are not over it seems. Next week will be the two semi final matches in the King of Trios with the final coming two days later at the CHIKARA Aniversario PPV show. Who will come out on top?
