Rumors and News
- It is official, NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling will be adding US Tag Team Championship to their list of titles. They will decide on 4 teams who will face off in 2 semifinals and then a final to crown the champions. That will take place in June at their next PPV, The Great American Bash.
- In an interview on ROH's web site AJ Styles said he is getting tired of being jumped from behind by Adam Cole and he plans on finding out what Cole's issue with him is.
ROH
5/18 Tag team action starts the show and what a hard hitting match. W.G.T.T. took on War Machine and W.G.T.T. continues to try and show they are the best team in ROH. Every time War Machine started to turn things into their favor W.G.T.T. would flip it back in their favor and ended up with the win. After that match was over Jimmy Jacobs, Steve Corino, Matt Hardy and Rhino came down to the ring. Jimmy says he knows Matt Taven is supposed to have a title match tonight but it is not going to happen. He says Taven has been in the main event the last two weeks and it would not be fair to be in it a third straight week so that match will have to be pushed back. Then the GM comes out and says the title match WILL take place tonight. Also if any one from S.C.U.M. interferes Steen will be stripped of the World title and all members will be suspended. Jimmy and his minions are going nuts as the show goes to commercial.
Silas Young and El Generico tangle next. Young is in control early but Generico used his speed and agility to turn the tables and eventually get the win. It is announced next weeks main event will be a tag title match between the champs reDRagon and W.G.T.T. So it seems the mission W.G.T.T. has been on has paid off. A rematch between former tag partners and Tag Team Champions came next. Kazarian and Christopher Daniels fought each other with each making pin attempts early but soon Daniels started to dominate which lead to him getting a win against his former teammate and friend. Then it is time for the main event. Matt Taven and Kevin Steen came out by themselves. Taven was determined from the opening bell to win back the World title. However Steen was not going to give it up without a fight. He kicked out of not one but two of Taven's finishers and started putting some offense on himself. After nailing Taven with a couple of his finishers he got the three count and retained his title.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
5/14 Don Leo Jonathan and Mr Saito started the show. It was a very solid match with Don on a roll early and then Mr Saito Eventually Mr Saito was able to put Done Leo away and get a hard earned win. Mil Mascaras faced off against Hillbilly Jim in a rare single match for Jim. Both men slugged it out and in the end Mil got the pin victory. Speaking of tag guys in single matches the next match was Brutus Beefcake taking on Les Thatcher. The young stud Beefcake got in some early offense but he was no match for the wiry veteran as Les got the win over him. Then in the main event the Road Warriors defended their tag titles against the Midnight Express. This was a hard hitting match as both teams showed why they are considered two of the best teams in the business today. They both hit their tag finishers only to have the other team kick out or break up the pin attempt. Eventually all heck broke out and while the ref was trying to deal with Hawk and Eaton slugging it out and their managers going at it on one side Animal and Lane were fighting outside of the ring on the other. Stan hit Animal on the back with a chair but the massive Road Warrior just got mad. He turned around and hit Lane with a chair of his own. Then he tolled Lane back in, hit a power slam and covered Lane for the three count. What an action packed match.
World Champion: Greg Valentin Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
5/17 We open with a match between Freddie Blassie and Bobby Shane. In somewhat of an upset Shane got the win. Then The Empire took on American Starship in a rematch. This was a quick match as American Starship were determined to get back on the winning track. Coyote nailed David Taylor with a Heart Punch to get the win. After the match David was still laying on his back. He ended up needing to be taken out on a stretcher. American Starship showed a more aggressive side in this match than they have shown so far during their time in AWA. Main event was requested by Bret Hart as he took on Four Horsemen member Killer Kowalski. It was a back and forth match that saw Kowalski come out on top. Not a good start to Bret Hart's war against the Horsemen.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
5/16 The show starts with One Man Gang standing in the ring. He says he was supposed to face Taz last week to get an answer to his challenge but when he went to leave for the arena he found all four of his tires had been slashed. That is why he was not here last week. But he is here not and he wants Taz to come out to the ring...NOW! As he paces back and forth looking at the entrance waiting for Taz, calling out to him every so often, a masked man in all black runs in from the crown and attacks him from behind. It is the same masked man that has interfered in Taz's matches a couple times. After laying OMG out he slowly walks to the back. After a commercial break it is time for action. The Shard took on Killer Khan in a TV Title tournament match. These two have a history and tore into each other. A few times it seemed both would get the win. In the end Khan got the pin and moved on. High flyer Rich Swann faced D'lo Brown next. Brown used dirty tactics to control things early but Swann turned things around with his aerial assault and got the win.
The Wolves had a rematch with the Young Bucks next. Davey started the match and had Matt Jackson on the ropes. The Young Bucks fought back and after some great back and forth wrestling they pulled off a second upset and beat The Wolves. This time without the help of Stevie Richards. Where do The Wolves go from here? How can they hope to beat the Briscoe Brothers if they can not beat the Young Bucks? The main event was another TV Title tournament match as two men that have had some recent battles faced off. Raven took on the Sandman. Both men showed desire to move on in the tournament. In the end, thanks to a couple toe hold drops into a chair, Raven put the Sandman away.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
5/13 The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple took on Raven's Flock in a King of Trios semi final match. This was a great match with lots of back and forth. Much double teaming and even some action with all six men going at it in the ring. It seemed the Flock was going to win a couple times thanks to Doomsday Machine but the Temple just would not go down. In the end The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple got the win and will be in the finals this coming Sunday at the Aniversario PPV. Next was tag team action as the Naptown Dragons faced The Throwbacks. Both teams wanted to get a point toward a title match and The Throwbacks earned it. After the match it is announced that a new tag team will get a try out match at the ppv this Sunday. It will be against the Naptown Dragons. This might be what the Dragons need to get back on the winning track.
We then see a segment with Daizee Haze teasing Pinkie Sanchez in their locker room before her match. She goes out and beats Hydra in a quick easy win. It looks like Pinkie will face even more teasing since Daizee easily beat the guy that beat him last week. The main event was the other semi final match in the King of Trios tournament. The BDS team battled Team CHIKARA. As good as the first semi final match was this one was even better. Lots of great tag action, double teaming, guys flying all over, brawling outside of the ring and numerous close pins. When BDS hit Ragnarock it seemed the match was over but Liger broke it up by hitting a shooting star press on Ares who was going for the pin. That just postponed the inevitable as a short time later die Jager hit their finisher on Jigsaw and got the win. After the match Tyler Black, leader of BDS, came down to the ring. He called out Ultramantis Black. Most people figured Ultramantis would not show but to all of our surprise he did appear at the top of the entrance ramp. Tyler said since both there teams will be in the main event of Aniversario and Ultramantis had something that did not belong to him how about they make things even more interesting. Let them battle for ownership of the Eye of Tyr. Either Ultramantis will leave the PPV with the Eye and BDS will stop trying to take it back or BDS will have their property returned to them. Ultramantis thought about it for a bit then he accepted. He said The Order will destroy BDS this Sunday at Aniversario.
5/15 Aniversario ppv:
1) Jushin Liger vs Tiger Mask. A match between two jr light weight legends in Japan. It lived up to the billing as both high flyers showed off their ability. In the end Tiger Mask came out on top thanks to a Tiger Suplex.
We get an interview of Shane Storm about his match with Icarus. He says the last time they faced Icarus did not just beat him but beat him up and injured him. Shane said he has been out of action till now and he has had one thing on his mind, payback. Amber points out he had a tag team match the week after he lost to Icarus. Shane seems confused and is about to say something when the shot cuts to the ring for the next match.
2) Mike Quackenbush vs Johnny Gargano. A decent match that saw the face of CHIKARA start quick but fade just as quick. After Johnny got the win he celebrated like he just won a major title.
3) Icarus vs Shane Storm. Soon as the bell rang Shane went at Icarus like a man possessed. However Icarus showed he has better ability and soon was in control. However much like their last match Icarus kept hitting one of his finshers on Shane but Shane found the inner strength to kick out. But as he was on the defense non stop he got wore down and eventually he could not kick out. Icarus looked frustrated despite getting the win.
4) Naptown Dragons vs Bravado Brothers in a Try Out match. The Bravado's are a team getting a lot of buzz from their time in smaller promotions. This was their chance to make their mark in one of the bigs. However it just was not to be. The Naptown Dragons seemed to be upset about losing a couple days ago and were taking it out on the new team. The Brothers put up a good fight but in the end it was not enough.
5) Green Ant vs Hydra. This was Hydra's third match with a BDS member. At the opening bell Hydra kicked Green Ant in the stomach and hit a powerbomb. He covered for a very close almost three count. What an upset that would have been. Green Ant fought back and the match had some good back and forth. In the end Hydra did get the win over the BDS member. That makes him 2-1 against them. Could he be the secret weapon for CHIKARA in their war with BDS?
6) Eddie Kingston vs Pinkie Sanchez in a Young Lions Cup title match. The BDS member who recently lost to Hydra would seem to not have much chance against Eddie but he held his own. However in the end the Warrior King was too much for Pinkie and Eddie retained.
7) The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple vs BDS in the King of Trios Final. This match sure lived up to the hype and anticipation. Both teams giving it their own and momentum went back and forth. All while Tyler Black watched in his teams corner and Ultramantis Black and Delirious watched from theirs. Ultramantis holding the Eye of Tyr firmly in his hands. During one of the spots of craziness outside of the ring Frightmare and Ares were battling and knocked into Ultramantis knocking him down. When he fell the Eye tumbled out of his hand. It landed at Crossbones feet and he picked it up then looked deeply at it. Ultramantis stood up and motioned for Crossbones to return it. Crossbones looked up and started to walk to Ultramantis. Then he kept walking shoving past Ultramantis and stopped in front of Tyler Black. Crossbones handed the Eye to Tyler, turned back to stare a short while at Ultramantis who looked dumbfounded and then walked off to the back. Tyler looked at Ultramantis with an evil grin. He held the Eye of Tyr to his lips and whispered. Suddenly Delirious started yelling and looking around. He jumped in the ring and started nailing everyone. Guys on both teams. Then he ran off thru the crowd. What is going on? After all the craziness the match continued. Even though The Order was short handed they were able to pull off the win when Incoherence nailed their finisher on Tim Donst and got the pin. This will give them some momentum when they cash in their title shot. With the win will Tyler return the Eye of Tyr to Ultramantis or will Ultramantis have to take it back? Why did Crossbones turn on his team? What happened to Delirious? Many questions going forward. Have to turn in next week and hopefully get the answers.

Rumors and News
- Going into CHIKARA's King of Trios tournament it seemed Terry Gordy and Justin Credible had put their differences aside but by the end they were at it again. Their feud is really picking up heat in USWA. During one of USWA shows they even interrupted a match as they started fighting in back and it spilled out to the ring area.
- Speaking of CHIKARA they announced that their annual Young Lions Cup tournament will be a one day event and be on PPV. They also announced the first three participants. Jim Powers, Zack Sabre Jr and Prince Puma.
ROH
5/25 Jay Lethal took on former stablemate Rhino in the opening match. Lethal took it to Rhino and did not let up till he had the victory. After Lethal and Martini stood over Rhino's laid out body when Nigel and Cedric ran down. The two groups faced off before Lethal and Martini slowly backed off and left the ring. Tension between the House of Truth and S.C.U.M. seems to be rising. Next Michael Elgin faced off against Matt Sydal. Elgin used his power to wear down his smaller opponent and pick up the win. We then get a promo for Forever Hooligans and they say they will debut next week.
Austin Aries and Adam Page were in the next match. It was a short match as Aries dominated the young rookie and finished him off in just a couple minutes. After the match he grabbed a mic and cut a promo. He said it was real easy beating Page. Since AJ Styles is having so much trouble with Adam Cole maybe he should try taking on Page. Maybe, just maybe AJ can squeak out a win over Page. Then it is time for the main event. Tag team champions reDRagon defend against W.G.T.T. The challengers started off with hard hitting action but the champs showed they are no pushovers and before too long hit Chasing The Dragon and got the win.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
5/21 The show starts with a shot of Kevin Sullivan in the front row and the announcers talking about how he was seen going into a locker room in back before the show but no idea if he was talking to anyone. The opening match is former champion Ted Dibiase and Mr X. Ted took it to the ultimate underdog and got an easy win. Then Bobby Heenan is being interviewed in back before leading his men into tag team action. He is asked where the newest member of his Family is. Bobby says "right there" and points to Big John Studd. "No not him, Fritz von Goering" he is asked. Bobby looks surprised and said he has no idea what they are talking about. He does not know why Fritz came to NWA:GCW but he is not in the Family. As he is pressed about what happened a couple weeks ago he gets flustered and tells his men it is time to go to the ring. King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd took on Killer Bees in the next match. The Bees tried to put up a fight but their opponents were just too big and too strong. The match ended with a Passport to China.
In his first match since losing the World title Randy Savage took on Brutus Beefcake. It was said he asked for this match due to Brutus getting involved in the title match. Randy was upset about losing his title and he took it out on Beefcake. After an elbow off the top rope Randy got the win. The main event was a title match as US champion Bruiser Brody took on Mr Saito. The match started with Brody throwing Saito across the ring and then Saito countering by throwing Brody via a Judo throw. It was an example of what the hard hitting match was going to be. Saito started wearing down the champ and seemed to have him on the ropes. Then Heenan got on the ring apron to argue with the ref. As he did Fritz von Goering ran in and attacked Saito and laid him out. He rolled Brody on top and slipped out of the ring before the ref turned around to make the three count. We are not sure who Heenan is trying to fool. It is obvious Fritz is in the Heenan Family.
World Champion: Greg Valentine Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
5/24 Bobby Shane and Red Bastien started the show. It was a quick match with Red getting the win. Shane was upset after. Next was a rematch tag match as the Love Brothers faced off against American Starship. The new team was trying to avenge an earlier loss to the Brothers and seemed to be on the way till the Brothers went too far and got themselves disqualified. While Starship got the win I do not think they are happy nor done with the Love Brothers. The main event was between Buddy Rogers and Bob Roop. In a bit of a surprise Roop's some time tag partner Playboy Buddy Rose accompanied Bob to the ring. Rose ended up getting involved as at one point Rogers tried using the ropes to pin Bob and Rose brought that to the ref's attention. In the end it did not matter as Buddy Rogers ended up slapping Bob in the figure four and got him to tap. After the match as Rose was checking on his tag partner the Hamilton Wrecking Crew ran down to attack them. As the Horsemen were laying out Roop and Rose The Sheepherders ran down with chairs and chased them off. It might not be wise for the Wrecking Crew to be looking for new enemies with so many old ones still out to get them.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
5/23 Adrian Street went up against Val Venis in the opening match that was part of the TV Title tournament. At first Val kept losing focus as he flirted with Miss Linda but he soon got his head into the game and picked up the win to move on. Then One Man Gang was seen in the GM's office yelling about being attacked last week and he wants a match with whoever the masked man was. The GM says he is not sure who the attacker was but if he can find out he will try and sign a match between him and OMG. Next is RVD against Rich Swann in a match of a couple high flyers. However the difference was brutality as RVD his three Van Daminators on Rich. Swann did not let that beat him however it slowed him down enough that he could never get going and after a bit Rob finished him off.
Tag action was next on the card as Voodoo Kill Mafia took on the Mongols. VKM used great double teaming to pick up an easy win. The Mongols seemed frustrated after as they continue to lose. The main event was the last opening match of the TV Title tournament. Tommy Dreamer went up against Al Snow. The crazy one had Dreamer off his game early. He even used his head, the mannequin one, to attack Tommy. The match turned when Al tossed Tommy out of the ring and went out after him. Dreamer was able to gain control then roll Al back in the ring. After a Death Valley Driver and close 2 count Dreamer hit another DVD and got the win. Before the show ends it is announced that next week Jon Moxley will face Necro Butcher in the next round of the TV Title tournament, which should be a wild brawl more than a match, and RVD will face Jerry Lynn in the other which should be a real solid high flying match.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
5/20 The show starts with BDS including Delirious in the ring while Tyler Black in on the floor ringside with Amber. Amber asks him if Delirious is part of a new recruiting move by BDS. Tyler says no he has always been part of BDS. He is one of the nine. Amber says not to be rude but he needs to check his math as there are ten members in the ring. Tyler laughs and as he does the members of BDS start to move around in the ring till they form a ring around one member, Tim Donst. Tim does not seem to notice as he is focused on the interview. Tyler turns to face the ring and says that there are really only nine members in BDS as one that was thought to be never really was. At this Tim starts to look around to see who it is. He then realizes he is surrounded and his smile leaves his face. He looks at Ares with a concerned look on his face when Tyler says "do it". At this the group, with the exception of Delirious who is looking all around the arena, attack Donst. After beating him down they toss him out of the ring where officials come down to check on him.
Tyler says that Tim was never in BDS. That he wanted to recruit Ares but sadly Tim overheard. That left them with two options. Pretend to bring in Tim or risk him warning CHIKARA. So they pretended to let him join. Now they can let the truth come out. Amber says that explains things but it also causes a problem for BDS as die Jager are no more thus costing BDS the Campeonatos de Parejas titles. Tyler laughs. He says no because a couple months ago they went to management who were desperate to get the titles off them. So he offered to give former champions The Colony a title match without the three points. Management jumped at the opportunity. In exchange Tyler asked that if for some reason one of the members of die Jager could no longer be part of the team that another member of BDS takes his place. At this Claudio walked up to Ares and they shake hands. Tyler says that die Jager is stronger than ever and Incoherence will have to cash in their points and BEAT them if they want the titles.
At this point Ultramantis Black comes to the top of the ramp and demands that Tyler returns the Eye of Tyr to him as his team won their match at Aniversario. Tyler laughs once again. He says their agreement was not who won the match would get the Eye. He said who won the BATTLE and left with the Eye would control it. And that is what happened. BDS won the battle and left with the Eye so it is theirs now. Then Mike Quackenbush joins Ultramantis on the stage. He says he is tired of BDS acting like they run things here. Since Ultramantis is too scared to do anything about it, at this Ultramantis stepped closer to Mike and stared him down, he will. He challenges Tyler to a match tonight. Tyler thinks about it for a bit then accepts. Suddenly Delirious starts screaming, running around BDS in the ring and then takes off running through the crowd. Everyone including the BDS seem shocked and confused.
After commercial we have our first match. Sara Del Rey takes on Hydra. At first it seemed Hydra would continue his winning ways against BDS members but Sara quickly turns things around and ends up with the win. As she is leaving the ring she looks into a camera and says "that is how it is done Pinkie". Next we have Brodie Lee against Achibald Peck. It ends up being pretty much a squash as Lee destroys Peck. After the match Veronica checks on poor Peck and tries to make him feel better.
The Throwbacks vs The Colony in tag action is the next match. The Throwbacks were looking for a second point but The Colony were not having it as they picked up their first point as they are on a mission to get a title shot. Finally it was time for the main event. The face of CHIKARA Mike Quackenbush was taking on the leader of BDS Tyler Black in a rare match for him. Both men were in control at different times and had some good offense. They both also kicked out of near pins. In the end Mike caught Tyler off guard and got the win. die Jager ran in after and beat down Mike. BDS might have got the Eye back but they seem to be losing a far amount lately. In fact that brings up the question, if they have the Eye back how long before they leave? Or do they have other plans in CHIKARA?

ROH
6/1 The show begins with officials running around backstage and we see Adam Cole laying on the ground. It is announced he was supposed to face AJ Styles in the main event tonight. The camera then cuts to AJ Styles who says he had nothing to do with this. He says he wanted to take care of Cole inside of the ring. Austin Aries then walks up and says if AJ needs an opponent for tonight he is free. Then it is to the ring for the debut of Forever Hooligans as they take on The Brian Kendrick and Moose. Hooligans are in control and seem on their way to the win when Brian hits Sliced Bread #2 out of no where and gets the pin. After Hooligans looked ready to attack him but Moose stood between them and they just backed off and left the ring. We get an announcement that next week is the one year anniversary of ROH on TV and both champions will be in action in non title matches. Next match has S.C.U.M. member Cedric Alexander taking on Tommaso Ciampa. The psycho took it to Cedric and his hard hitting style was too much as he earned the victory.
A rematch was next as Donovan Dijak faced El Generico. Generico kept Donovan off balanced with his speed. It frustrated the larger man which became obvious once the action spilled outside of the ring. That is when Donovan grabbed a chair and started smacking El Generico with it and got disqualified. Then it was main event time. AJ Styles battled Austin Ares. AJ was dominating the action and seemed to be on the verge of victory after hitting a second Styles Clash. It was then Roderick Strong ran down and as he got in the ring he knocked over the ref from behind. He then attacked AJ. Is he the one who has been doing it all along and not Adam Cole? After a bit Ares recovered and Strong left the ring. The ref soon recovered and had no idea what happened. Austin hit some moves on AJ then nailed a Death Valley Driver on him for the win. After Roderick got back in the ring and faced off with Austin. They stared at each other before smiling and shaking hands. As the show ended they stood tall over the body of AJ Styles.

5/28 Mr Saito took on Fritz von Goering in the opening match. Mr Saito was looking for revenge from last week when Goering cost him the US Title. And he got it with a hard hitting victory. Tag action came next as the Samoan Swat Team faced off against Poffo Power. To just about everyone's surprise Poffo Power controlled most of the action and were on the verge of the win till Samu made the save. That turned things around and the SST were the ones to get the W. Don Leo Jonathan against Jimmy Snuka was the next match. Jimmy hit the Superfly Leap for the win. In the main event the Heenan's Family King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd took on the team of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hillbilly Jim. It seemed the Jim's would be a team big and strong enough to battle Heenan's men but Bundy and Studd dominated them before getting the win. It is than announced that Bundy and Studd will get a tag team title match at The Great American Bash PPV as they will take on the Road Warriors. Could the Warriors finally face a team they can not beat?

5/31 The show opens with Owen Hart demanding a match with the Hamilton Wrecking Crew. He said they tried to put him out of wrestling and left his brother alone. He wants revenge and is willing to put the belts up to get them in a match. Bret is asked if he is ok with that and he said he will always back his brother up. The opening action is Nick Bockwinkel against Johnny Saint. It was a long hard hitting match. Too long in fact as it went to a time limit draw. Johnny was on the defense for the most part but Nick just could not finish him. It is announced the main event will a tag title match. Next is Reginald Love of the Love Brothers against Eagle of the American Starship. Eagle was using his height and power advantage early but Reginald fought back and got the win. Then the final match is the Hart Foundation defending their Tag Team Championship against the Hamilton Wrecking Crew of the Four Horsemen. It was a brutal long match. The Wrecking Crew had Bret Hart in trouble early but he made the tag to his brother Owen. Both teams exchanged pin attempts but in the end it was Owen that got the three count and a bit of payback. But he could not celebrate as Rogers and Kowalski ran down and the Four Horsemen started to beat up the Harts. Then Bryan Danielson and Magnum T.A. rushed the ring to make the save. It looks like the Hart Foundation has some allies in their war.

5/30 Jon Moxley took on Necro Butcher in a TV Title tournament match. The two men slugged it out and eventually Necro hit his finisher to get the win and advance. Demolition faced the Young Bucks in tag action next. The Bucks have been on a roll thanks to a couple wins against The Wolves. That roll continued as they upset the stronger Demolition. Could a title match be in their future? Next it is announced next week Raven will take on Killer Khan and Tommy Dreamer will take on Val Venis in TV Title tournament matches. Then One Man Gang has a match against the masked man who attacked him a couple weeks ago and has helped out Taz a couple times. It is a vicious match with One Man Gang coming up on the short end. After the match the masked man is getting his hand raised and OMG attacks him from behind. After pounding on him some he tears off the mask to only reveal another mask. However that one is one people recognize. It belongs to The Destroyer. So is The Destroyer working for/with Taz? The main event was a TV Title tournament match pitting RVD against Jerry Lynn. It was a solid back and forth high flying match. RVD hit his Five Star Frog Splash but Lynn kicked out. So RVD climbed the turnbuckle and hit another one. Once again Lynn kicked out at two. RVD looked shocked. So he went up and hit a Five Star for a 3rd straight time. This one Lynn could not kick out of and RVD got the win and moved on in the tournament to the semi finals.

CHIKARA
5/27 High flying action started the show as Tiger Mask took on Paul London. Paul put up a good fight but in the end Tiger Mask got the win. Then Amber interviewed Crossbones and asked him why he did what he did last week. He explained that Ultramantis Black used the Eye of Tyr to bring him back to The Order but the control over him quickly faded. He was fine working with Ultramantis but when adversary showed up in the form of BDS Ultramantis ran and hid. He left the members in The Order on their own. That was when he decided to look out for himself. Amber asked if he was joining BDS. Crossbones said no. He was done with factions. He was going to makes waves in CHIKARA. Just keep an...eye...on me. Then it was time for the second match. Jigsaw took on Johnny Gargano. Johnny got the win and just like he did when he beat Quackenbush he started celebrating wildly after.
It is announced that next week Mike Quackenbush and Tyler Black will have a rematch in the main event. Then it was to the ring for a match between Worker Ant and Green Ant. Worker got in some offense early but quickly Green took control and before long had the win. The main event was next as Incoherence cashed in their three points for a title shot against die Jager. The first fall was quick as Incoherence picked up the win. In the second fall die Jager used their hard hitting ways to wear their opponents down to win and tie the match at one fall apiece. In the third and deciding fall the action was fast paced. Ultramantis Black got into a yelling match with Claudio who was on the apron. Incoherence used the distraction to hit Headless Horseman on Ares. When Claudio tried to get in to make the save Ultramantis grabbed his leg and just like that we had new champions.

- We received word from some fans that Kevin Sullivan was seen at an AWA house show and seemed to be taking notes. This has not been confirmed. As you may know he was seen on screen at a couple NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling shows over last month.
- USWA officials have had enough of the war between Justin Credible and Terry Gordy. They have decided the company is not big enough for both of them. So they have scheduled a Losers Leave Town match between the two.
ROH
6/8 Austin Ares and Roderick Strong are in the ring at the start of the show. Ares said in case AJ Styles and most of the moron fans have not figured it out it was he who was behind the attacks. He kept jumping AJ and poor Adam Cole got blamed for it. The reason was he had enough of AJ getting all this love. He got more fan support and opportunities from day one. Things were handed to AJ while he had to fight for what he got. Well he and Roderick Strong are tired of being over looked. They are the future of wrestling. They are the next generation of greatness and since ROH management are too dense to see that they will force them to notice it. After commercial break it is time for the first match. War Machine taking on Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino of S.C.U.M. At the start Jimmy and Rowe were in the ring while Steve started yelling at the ref. Turns out Steve was just distracting the ref as Nigel and Rhino ran down to the ring. Nigel pulled Hansen off the apron and the two slugged it out as Rhino got in the ring and helped Jimmy beat down Hanson. Both S.C.U.M. members ran away before the ref could turn around and see them. It was quick but efficient. Jimmy and Steve used frequent tags and wore Rowe down. Hanson tried to break the pin but Steve stopped him and just like that War Machine had another lose. We get some highlight clips of some of the best moments over last year. Then Christopher Daniels is being interviewed. He says regardless of what Kaz might say or want their feud is over. It is time for him to move on. To do that he has found a tag team partner worthy of him and soon their tag team will be revealed. Before long he will have tag gold around his waist again.
Speaking of tag champs, reDRagon took on Forever Hooligans in a non title match next. In what can be described as a bit of an upset the Hooligans hit their finisher, twice, and got the win. Considering the Hooligans lost their debut match this was a surprise. Could this lead to a title match for the Hooligans soon? Matt Hardy faced off agaisnt Adam Page next. The icon was showing the young Page how it was done early on. Adam refused to go down easy however and fought back even getting in some offense and a couple close pin attempts. In the end Matt was too much for Adam and got the win. The main event was a non title match as Kevin Steen went up against El Generico. It was discussed that both men came up together in the early days of their careers. Generico sure looked like he knew Kevin as he was taking it to the champion from the start. Everything was going his way till he knocked Kevin out of the ring and then went for a high risk flying move. Kevin moved and Generico crashed and burned. From then on Kevin was in control and picked up the win.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
6/4 Cowboy Bob Orton and Les Thatcher kicked off the show in a solid match that Orton came out on top of. Tag action was next as Killer Bees battled Poffo Power. The dad son team have been only tagging a short time but they looked real sharp here as the got an easy win. We get an announcement about a title match for The Great American Bash PPV that will be on 6/26. The Road Warriors will defend against the team of King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd. This will be the toughest challenge for the Warriors yet. Former World Champion Ted Dibiase and Bobo Brazil squared off in the next match. Bobo tried to overpower Ted but Dibiase used his sleeper hold to wear the big man down before finally getting the pin. In the main event World Champion Greg Valentine defended his title against Masked Superstar. In the beginning it seemed Superstar might pull the upset but the champ fought back and once he got the challenger in the figure four it was all over.
World Champion: Greg Valentine Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
6/7 As the show begins we get an announcement that due to recent incidents including the end of last weeks main event AWA management has hired a GM to run things. Out comes the new AWA GM...Charlie Cox. He says that as his first act he has scheduled a couple matches based on what happened last week. First Bryan Danielson will take on Killer Kowalski in the opening match. In the main event Buddy Rogers will face Magnum T.A. but not in just a normal match. The winner will be the #1 contender and have a title match next week. Then it is to the ring for action. It is a real good back and forth match till Killer climbs the turnbuckle in an attempt to go high risk. Bryan runs up and the two battle it out as the ref tried to break them up. It was not wise of the ref as he ended up being underneath them when they both came crashing down. As the ref was laid out the Hamilton Wrecking Crew came down to help Killer beat down Bryan. However Bryan has friends too and the Hart Foundation ran down to even the odds. In the end both tag teams were fighting each other to the back and Bryan was in control in the ring. The ref finally recovered and was there to make the three count as Bryan pinned Kowalski who was not happy after. Tag action between two teams that have grown to hate each other came next as American Starship fought the Love Brothers. Coyote was in trouble early but fought back and was able to tag in Eagle. It looked like Starship was going to get the win but then action spilled to outside of the ring and things got nasty. Eagle went a bit to far and got his team disqualified. It was then time for the main event. Buddy Rogers and Magnum T.A. had a real good match and the young Magnum put up a good fight but in the end the vet was just too much. So next week Buddy Rogers will get another shot at the World title against Frank Gotch. Before the show ends Charlie Cox announces that also next week we will have a No DQ match between American Starship and the Love Brothers.
World Champion: Frank Gotch Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
6/6 The opening match is Tommy Dreamer against Val Venis in a TV Title tournament match. Tommy and Val has a real good match and in the end it was a small upset as Val Venis won to move into the semi finals. After the match The Destroyer is interviewed. He says he is not working with or for Taz. The reason he has done what he has is because Taz as champ is what is best...for now. As far as attacking One Man Gang it was not personal. It just was what had to be done. The Destroyer says he will continue to do what is best and will keep an eye out for anything that gets in the way of that. Next Sabu and Chris Candido had a match that was pretty one sided as Sabu got a rather easy win. The Young Bucks have been on a roll and they were rewarded with a tag title match. The Briscoe Brothers were determined to end that roll and hold on to their titles. It was a brutal match as the Briscoes kept assaulting the Bucks yet the Bucks would not go down easy. Every time it seemed the Briscoes would get the pin the Bucks would either kick out or be saved by their brother. In the end though due to lack of their own offense they got wore down and lost the match. The main event was a TV Title tournament match as Raven and Killer Khan looked to move on. Khan used his viciousness to attack Raven from the start. Raven is not one to shy away from a fight and he fought back before finally finishing off Killer Khan. Next week we will have the two semi final matches with the winners in the final in the main event to crown the first TV Title in ECW.
CHIKARA
6/3 As the show starts we see BDS dragging Shane Storm to the ring. Tyler Black tells Shane to tell everyone what they talked about, about the tag match he had a couple months back with Hydra. Shane looks scared. He looks around then leans in to talk in the mic. "I...I...I was not in that tag match. I was at home recovering from an injury I got from Icarus attacking me after our match the week before. I do not know who that was dressed like me but it was not me" At that Tyler pulls the mic back and die Jager shove Shane out of the ring. Tyler says there was a conspiracy to steal the belts from them. That Incoherence should not have had a title match last week and thus die Jager should not have lost their titles. They are not leaving the ring till their belts are returned to them. A CHIKARA official comes out and says this is all news to them. However they will take this seriously and look into it. They will give BDS their findings and decision at the end of the night. Tyler says they are willing to wait to then but they better get the answer they want and have their belts back.
The opening match is Jushin Liger against Johnny Gargano. Jushin uses his high flying to take an early advantage but Johnny fought back and ended up with the win. After he got on the mic and declared himself the best of CHIKARA. He points out he beat the top CHIKARA has to offer; Quackenbush, Jigsaw and now Liger. CHIKARA needs to make him the face of their company. Then we see the Bravado Brothers in back asking for another chance. They are told they had to win their match and did not so that is that. They leave with dejected looks on their face. Pinkie Sanchez has a rematch with Hydra. He looked determined as he walked down to the ring. We are sure he did not want to deal with another loss to Hydra. As it was he had nothing to worry about as he destroyed his opponent and got a quick win. After we see the Bravado Brothers leaving the arena and they pass the Naptown Dragons who tease and laugh at them. Back to the ring for action as The Colony and the Naptown Dragons had a match. The Colony used great tag team work to pick up the win. After the match Soldier Ant gets on the mic and says he and Fire think the Bravado Brothers deserve a second chance so they are offering a challenge to them. The Dragons do not seem happy about this.
The main event is a rematch between Tyler Black and Mike Quackenbush. Tyler comes down with die Jager. Before the match starts the official comes back out with the official findings. Since it seems there was something going on in the match between Incoherence and the team of Hydra and who was thought to be Shane Storm but was not the results of that match are not official. Thus going into the Aniversario, Incoherence only had two points making their match with die Jager not a title match. At this Tyler and die Jager start celebrating. The official motions and someone brings down the belts and hands them back to die Jager. The official says the record book will show that die Jager are still champs and did not lose the belts. die Jager gets more excited. Then the official says, however Incoherence DID win their match against die Jager and thus they earned their third point. At this point die Jager stop cold and just stare at the official. He goes on to say that since they now have three points, next week Incoherence WILL get their title shot in the main event. die Jager start going ballistic. As the official turns around and leaves the ref works on getting die Jager out of the ring so the main event can start. It is a solid match at first but then Tyler starts to simply dominate Mike and ends with Tyler Black coming out on top. Post match die Jager come in and help Tyler beat down Mike. It seems BDS is flexing their muscle and taking control of CHIKARA. Can anyone stop them?

Rumors and News
- Thanks to cheating Terry Gordy lost his Loser Leaves Town match in USWA. The question now is, where will he show up next?
- Some big names might be coming to CHIKARA. Lips are tight on just who but word is at least one will be pretty well known and might be more than one.
- Talk backstage at ECW is they want to be adding another single title. They have not even crowned the TV champion and they are already looking to add another title. Could it be too soon?
ROH
6/15 Adam Cole is walking around back and yelling for Austin Ares as the show comes on air. He wants a match with Ares but no one seems to know where he is. He then walks out to the ring and says he is not leaving till he gets Austin in the ring for a match. Austin's music hits but it is Roderick Strong that comes out. Roderick says Austin is not here this week as he is preparing for his match against AJ Styles at Death Before Dishonor this Sunday. Roderick says he is willing to face Cole if he wants to lose so bad. Cole thinks for barely a second then yells "YES". From the start Cole takes it to Strong as he works out a lot of frustration. Strong kicks out of a couple pin attempts and gets in a bit of offense but Cole keeps being aggressive. Adam tosses Roderick into the turnbuckle and Roderick bounces out and hits a devastating lariat then goes for the pin, pulling Cole's tights. Just like that Adam lost the match. Then the camera goes to the parking lot where two luxury sedans pull up. The backdoor of the first opens and out comes NJPW star Antonio Inoki. He motions to the back of the other car and that car's backdoor opens and out come two very large men. It is Giant Bernard and Warlord. These three men are part of a faction in NJPW that goes by the name of The Bullet Club. One has to wonder what they are doing in ROH. Could it be due to what Forever Hooligans did to Inoki, the leader of The Bullet Club, in the King of Trios tournament in CHIKARA?
Next W.G.T.T. come out for their tag match. Then Christopher Daniels comes out by himself and stands at the top of the ramp. He points to the video screen. We see what looks like the skyline of Detroit in black with a red background then the sound of gunfire as bullet holes appear across the screen. Then the words "Motor City Machine Guns" appear across the screen and out comes Chris Sabin. Sabin is from the metro Detroit area and while Daniels grew up elsewhere he was born not far from Detroit. So Chris Sabin is the new partner Daniels was talking about. The new team did not look good to start as W.G.T.T. had most of the offense. But then Daniels made a hot tag and Sabin got on a roll. Sabin ended up with a quick pin of Haas that caught the W.G.T.T. off guard. Just like that the MCMG had won their debut. The following match was S.C.U.M. member Cedric Alexander against the powerful Michael Elgin. It was a good back and forth match. Cedric hit numerous superkicks on Michael but the big man refused to go down. Later in the match Cedric hit another superkick and finally Elgin went down. Cedric went for the pin but Elgin kicked out. However Cedric followed up with his finisher and got the win.
We then get a promo for the PPV this Sunday. Kevin Steen will defend the World Championship against Jay Lethal. AJ Styles has a match with Austin Ares. Rhino and Homicide face off in a NYC Street Fight where weapons are legal and falls count anywhere. New tag team MCMG will face another new team to ROH that is TBA. The tag champs reDRagon will defend against Forever Hooligans. There will be more action as well. Then it is time for the main event as Forever Hooligans took on the team to beat them in their ROH debut, The Brian Hendrick and Moose. This time Hooligans kept beating down Brian till he made a tag to Moose. Moose got in some offense but than the Hooligans used double teaming to wear him down. He tagged he Brian and it was not much longer till Hooligans finished him off to get the win. After the match ended Antonio Inoki came out to the top of the stage by himself. He stared down at the Hooligans than turned around and left. What was that all about?
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
6/11 Brutus Beefcake had a squash match against Mr X to being the show. It is then announced that NWA:GCW went looking for someone tough enough to face US Title champion Brusier Brody and they found it in Steve "Dr Death" Williams. He is interviewed and said he is happy to be here. He talks about having a title match at The Great American Bash and looks forward to being the new US Title holder. Then Fritz von Goering took on George Steele. Fritz was in trouble early and often. George was dominating him and seemed to be on the way to an easy win till the action spilled to outside. George was tossing Fritz all around and when the ref tried to get him back in the ring he tossed the ref. That caused the ref to call for the bell. George lost by DQ. George then set up a couple chairs and bodyslammed Fritz on them before officials were able to get him to go back to the locker room. It is then announced that Randy Savage, who is in tonight's main event, will face World Champion Greg Valentine at Great American Bash with the belt on the line. Midnight Express and Killer Bees, two teams in the US Tag Title tournament at the Bash PPV, had a real god match next. Both teams looked like they would win at different times but in the end the Express pulled it out. Then it was time for the main event as Randy Savage faced Jimmy Snuka. Before the match started but after the introductions Randy talked to the ring announcer and had him introduce him as "Macho Man" Randy Savage. That is a new name of the former champion. The bell rang for the match to start and Randy walked up to Jimmy and slapped him. Then he went on to dominate Snuka before hitting the Flying Elbow to get the impressive win.
World Champion: Greg Valentine Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
6/14 The show started with a war between American Starship and Love Brothers in a No DQ match. The Love's had control early but the Starship fought back and finished off their rivals. Was this the end of their feud now that American Starship finally beat them cleanly? Red Bastien and Bill Dundee were in the next match. Dundee was in controlling the action early and almost got a pin right at the beginning. However Red fought back and earned the victory. Then it was time for the main event, a World Championship match between the champ Frank Gotch and challenger Buddy Rogers the leader of the Four Horsemen. The first fall was a real good match with both guys exchanging control. Then Gotch got Buddy in his Toe Hold finisher and Buddy tapped. The second fall, which Buddy could not afford to lose, was a long brutal affair. At one point it seemed like Frank was going to finish off Buddy but as JJ Dillon distracted the ref Killer Kowalski came down and broke the pin attempt. After this Buddy wore down Frank and slapped on his Figure Four to make the champ tap. The match was tied one fall to one so it went to a third and final fall. Frank started with the offense but Buddy was determined to get the belt back and fought back. After a devastating piledriver Buddy pinned Frank to win the third fall and become the NEW AWA World Champion. This ended the second longest reign and gave Buddy ROgers his second reign with the title. What is next for the Four Horsemen?
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
6/13 The show begins with the first semi final match for the TV Title as RVD battled Necro Butcher. Necro was controlling action to start and seemed like he had RVD's number. But the arrogant one was not going down without a fight. And fight back he did. He hit the Five Star Frog Splash and thought he had the win but Necro kicked out. RVD went to the top and hit his finisher again and this time he got the three count to move into the finals. Next it was the other semi final match as Raven took on Val Venis. Raven was savage and took the fight to Val. Val got in a little offense but little is all and before long Raven pinned him to move into the final later tonight in the main event. Who will be the first ECW TV champion, RVD or Raven?
Tag action came next as the Wolves faced the Mongols. The Wolves showed they were not happy with the recent events and wanted to send a message that they are still a dangerous team. They simply destroyed the Mongols using frequent tags and some double teaming. After Davey got on the mic and said the Young Bucks got lucky when the Wolves first arrived in ECW but their luck has run out. They want a rematch with the Bucks so they can show they are the superior team. Will the Bucks accept the challenge? Then it was main event time as RVD and Raven fought in the final of the TV Title tournament. It was a back and forth match with both guys using chairs to their advantage. It was one of those chairs that would make the difference. As RVD went to hit his Frog Splash finisher Raven pulled one of the chairs on top of him causing RVD to land on it. It hurt both men but more so RVD. Then Raven got up, hit his Raven Effect DDT on the chair and pinned RVD. Your new and first TV champion, Raven. More gold for Raven and his Flock.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers World TV Title: Raven
CHIKARA
6/10 The first match was between a guy not seen on TV for awhile, Chuck Taylor, and Archibald Peck. Chuck seemed in control of the match but turned out he was not in control of his emotions as he got mad due to some dirty tactics by Peck and ended up getting disqualified. A rare win for Archibald Peck. Next the Bravado Brothers answered the challenge that The Colony threw out last week. It is possible that The Colony were expecting an easy win to earn their third point and thus a title shot but that was not to be. The Bravado's were in trouble early but fought back and got the shocking win. After Naptown Dragons came out and asked what the Bravado Brothers were doing here since they lost their match at the PPV and should be no where near CHIKARA. An official comes out and says if the Dragons feel that way they can have a match next week. If the Dragons win the Brothers must leave CHIKARA for good. However if the Brothers can get the win they will get a CHIKARA contract. Dustin does not seem sure about this but Scotty quickly accepts. As the Brothers celebrate in the ring the Dragons have a heated discussion as they walk to the back.
BDS member Tursas and Jigsaw tangle next. Jigsaw tried to get the better of Tursas but the big man was just too powerful. Then it was time for the main event as Incoherence cashed in their three points for a shot at the Campeonatos de Parejas champions, die Jager. The champs did not come down alone as BDS leader Tyler Black and Tursas joined them. The first fall was a fast paced one with lots of action. In the end Incoherence got the pin to take the early advantage. Poor Ares was in for the whole fall and never tagged out. Claudio only got in a couple times to make pin saves. The second fall saw Claudio wearing down the smaller Frightmare for most of it. Eventually he put him away to even the match at a fall apiece. In the third and deciding fall Incoherence was in trouble early but then they turned the table and started to wear down Ares who was still beat up from the first fall. It seemed they had the thrid fall but Tyler Black attacked Ultramantis Black outside the ring which caught the attention of the ref. As the ref tried to get them to stop Tursas got in the ring and did some damage to both members of Incoherence. That turned the tide and die Jager hit their finisher to win the third fall and defend their titles. After the match as the BDS members walked up the ramp Ultramantis got in the ring and on the mic. He said he realizes how he messed up and now BDS is a cancer on CHIKARA. It is his responsibility to get rid of BDS. However he is no hero and a hero is what CHIKARA needs to defeat the BDS. So Ultramantis said he has been on the hunt for a hero and that is what he has found. Next week the hero CHIKARA needs will be here and Ultramantis makes a challenge to Tyler Black to face this man in the main event. Who did Ultramantis Black find to fight BDS? Will he be able to beat them? Will Tyler Black accept the challenge for next week?

Rumors and News
- The next name for the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup has been announced, TJ Perkins.
- Having not been seen in a few months Andre The Giant has popped up in All Japan Pro Wrestling.
ROH
6/19 Death Before Dishonor ppv:
Before the show starts we see Antonio Inoki, Giant Bernard and Warlord sitting ring side.
1) MCMG vs Backseat Boyz. The Backseat Boyz were making their ROH debut. They attacked the Guns before the bell and were controlling the action early on. The Guns fought back and ended up with the win.
2) Donovan Dijak vs El Generico. El Generico was keeping Donovan off kilter with his speed and things were going his way. That is until he tossed Donovan into the ropes and tried to do a back body drop but Donovan grabbed him and hit a powerbomb on Generico. That gave Donovan control and before long he finished Generico off to get the victory.
3) reDRagon vs Forever Hooligans, Tag Team Championship match. A good match that saw reDRagon finish off Alex with Chasing the Dragon. After the match Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino ran down and attacked reDRagon. During the match it was speculated if the Bullet Club would get involved, maybe attacking the Hooligans but they simply just watched the match.
4) Rhino vs Homicide, NYC Street Fight. This was a vicious match. Homicide was in control at the start. Then the action went to the floor and Rhino started gaining control. He had a couple unsuccessful pin attempts out of the ring including one in the first row. Then he went under the ring and pulled out a barbed wire covered 2x4. He nailed Homicide's back a couple times and once on his forehead busting him up. They went back into the ring and Rhino hit Homicide with the Gore but Homicide kicked out. So Rhino placed the 2x4 in the corner, tossed Homicide into it then hit another Gore this time into that corner. That was it and Rhino had won.
5) Samoa Joe vs Silas Young. A slug fest that ended with Joe slapping the rear naked choke on Young.
6) AJ Styles vs Austin Ares. An exciting move with the flow going back and forth between each. In the end AJ hit Styles Clash and got some revenge on Ares. However after the match Roderick runs in and helps Austin beat AJ down. Looks like this feud is not over.
7) Kevin Steen vs Jay Lethal, World Championship match. This one will probably be remembered for a long time just not for how they would like. At least not Lethal. It was less instant classic and more instant finish. Lethal was jawing at Kevin before the bell and once the bell rang he kept it up and slowly walked toward Kevin. That is when Kevin hit him with a lighting quick super kick, grabbed Jay and hit a package piledriver. Then just like that the match was over as Kevin covered him for the three count. We are not sure who was more surprised, Jay of Truth. At that moment it was probably Truth as we think Jay was unaware of where he was. My how the House of Truth has fallen on hard times.
6/22 On the heels of the recent PPV the surprises kept coming. The show starts with word that Austin Ares and Roderick Strong, going by the name Generation Next, had challenged AJ Styles to a tag match. That is if AJ could find anyone willing to partner with him. Ares words not ours. Then it was time for the opening match. It was a tag team rematch from Sunday as MCMG took on Backseat Boyz. The Boyz were in control till Acid went up on the turnbuckle and Daniels ran up, fought him and hit him with a superplex. Not long after the MCMG had won again. We then see AJ Styles in back talking on his phone. It seems someone is offering to tag with him. He asks if they are sure then says "great, I will see you in the main event". Then we hear music not heard a long time in ROH. Out comes Mike Bennett with Maria. He goes to the ring and gets a mic. He talks about how he has not been seen in ROH for 9 months. Not since he lost in the main event of Glory By Honor. Well he took some time off to regroup and refocus. He got rid of some dead weight, Brutal Bob, and is ready to finally get what is his destiny, the ROH World Championship. He should have had it already but Taven used the House of Truth to keep him from it. He knows S.C.U.M. will try the same especially seeing that to get the title shot against Taven he won a #1 contender match against Steen. Well it does not matter. He WILL be the World Champion. His road to that starts NOW. So he is making an open challenge to anyone in back. After a short bit out comes Kazarian. Mike sure looked like he is ready for a title shot in this match as he simply dominated Kazarian and got a quick win. He posed with Maria after.
Next Matt Hardy took on Matt Taven. It was a real good match that saw Taven come out on top. Hardy was not happy after. Then it was main event time. First out was Generation Next. Then AJ Styles who waited at the top of the ramp for his partner. His music hit and it was Matt Sydal. AJ and Roderick started the match. Ares did not tag in till Roderick had wore AJ down some. Ares kept the offense up then AJ caught him with a couple stiff forearms. He started to get to his corner to tag out but Roderick ran around and started yelling at Sydal who was so focused on Roderick he did not see AJ trying to tag out. When he finally turned around Ares had recovered and pulled AJ away from the corner. After a bit more Roderick tagged in and used stiff offense to wear AJ down more. Then AJ hit a Pele kick and started to crawl for a tag. Sydal had his hand out eagerly waiting for a tag but Ares ran over and pulled him off the apron. Again Roderick was in control. Some close pins but AJ kept kicking out. Once again AJ knocked him down and crawled over to tag out. Ares came in and the ref went to get him back to his corner. AJ made the tag and Sydal came in. He stood there waiting for Roderick to get up. Meanwhile AJ pulled himself up and was about to get out of the ring when Sydal does a roundhouse kick to lay AJ out. He calmly drags AJ to middle of the ring, pulls Roderick on top of him and goes back to his corner. Ares goes to his and the ref turns around to make the count. It seems it was a set up all along. After the bell Sydal gets in and joins Ares and Strong in celebrating. It seems Sydal is the newest member of Generation Next.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
6/18 Bobo Brazil took on Masked Superstar in the opening match. Bobo ended up with an impressive win. Then Mr Saito and Hillybilly Jim hooked up. It was a hard hitting match with very little technical moves. Both guys came close to a pin but eventually time ran out and the match ended in a Time Limit Draw. We then get a run down of the final card for The Great American Bash ppv in a little over a week. Greg Valentine will defend the World Championship against former champion Randy Savage. "Macho Man" Randy Savage that is. The Road Warriors defend the Tag Team Championship against King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd. Bruiser Brody will put the US Title on the line against Steve "Dr Death" Williams. That should be a hard hitting match. Midnight Express will face Poffo Power in one semi final match in the US Tag Title tournament. The other semi final match will be SST against Killer Bees. The winner of those last two matches will face in the final to crown the first US Tag Title champions. Finally Don Leo Jonathan and Cowboy Bob Orton will battle in a cage match.
Back to the action as Mil Mascaras and Les Thatcher went at it. Mil has fallen some since his arrival in NWA:GCW when he was a top contender. He got the win tonight. In the main event the Road Warriors defended their belts against Poffo Power. As expected the Road Warriors showed how dominating they can be and got the win. At the Great American Bash things will not be as easy for the Warriors.
World Champion: Greg Valentine Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody
AWA
6/21 Show starts with the Horsemen being interviewed. They talked about how Buddy had their World title back and soon the Wrecking Crew would get the tag team belts back. Then The Sheepherders came out to confront the Wrecking Crew. They asked how the Crew thought they would get the Tag Team Championship when they can not even beat them. When the Wrecking Crew said The Sheepherders were not a threat The Sheepherders challenged them to a match tonight. The Crew accepted. Then it was to the ring for the opening match. Red Bastien, who has been on a roll again, took on Bobby Shane. Shane was on of Bastien's recent conquests. This time Shane was dominating early and slapped on his Sleeper finisher several times but Shane just would not go down. Not being able to put him away ended up coming back to hurt him as Bastien fought back and got the win. In the next match Bryan Danielson took on Bill Dundee. This was a great match that saw Bryan dominating for the most part but in the end Dundee came out on top. Then it was the main event between the Hamilton Wrecking Crew and The Sheepherders. It was a hard hitting match that saw The Sheepherders get the win. After the match both teams brawled. Officials ran out to try and separate them but were unsuccessful as the show ended.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation
ECW
6/20 The Wolves got the rematch with the Young Bucks they wanted to start the show. They finally showed how dominating they can be as they controlled the action and were never in trouble before finishing the Bucks off. Next Necro Butcher got a rematch with RVD. He felt he had RVD beat in the TV Title semi final and wanted to show he was better than RVD. However this match did not show that. RVD dominated Necro and hit numerous Van Daminators. Butcher ended up busted open but kept kicking out. Finally RVD his a Van Daminator off the turnbuckle and was able to put Necro away.
The Shard took on a rival, Killer Khan, in the following match. Khan held his own for a bit thanks to his strength advantage. In the end it was not enough and The Shard got the win. Then it was the main event as Taz defended the World Championship against Larry Sweeney. To many peoples surprise Larry was in control early and looked like he had Taz in trouble. That did not last long though as Taz fought back and he dominated till he put Larry away.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers
CHIKARA
6/17 Naptown Dragons took on Bravado Brothers in the opening match. The Dragons were trying to beat the Brothers again and send them packing forever from CHIKARA. The Bravado Brothers had other ideas and they got a quick surprising win. The Dragons were very upset after. Funny thing is not only did the Bravado Brothers win an official CHIKARA contract but this win was second in a row meaning the Brothers are one win away from earning a title shot. Crossbones, in his first match since turning on The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, took on Worker Ant. He wore Worker down and then put him away.
More tag action next as The Throwbacks took on BDS members Del Rey and Haze. Haze was in trouble till getting the hot tag to Del Rey. Sara came in and got a quick win on Dasher. It was time for the main event. Tyler Black came out and said he is ready to see who Ultramantis Black found to try and stop BDS. Ultramantis came out and told Tyler to be ready to taste defeat, the first of many. The crowd popped when the Foo Fighers "My Hero" started playing and out came the one and only...Chris Hero. He soaked up the cheering for a bit then walked down and got in the ring. The ref motioned for Tyler Black to get in the ring but he just looked back confused. He then got on the mic. He said he never agreed to a match. All he said was he wanted to know who Ultramantis got to be CHIKARA's savior. However do not worry, Chris can face a BDS member. Then Pinkie Sanchez comes out to a reign of boos. He was no competition for Chris Hero who dominated the match. After it is announced that next weeks main event will be Eddie Kingston defending the Young Lions Cup for the last time as the tournament to name a new Cup holder will be next month.

Rumors and News
- The final names for the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup tournament have been released. Pinkie Sanchez, Jigsaw, Tiger Mask and Fire Ant. They join the ones already announced, TJ Perkins, Jim Powers, Zach Sabre Jr and Prince Puma.
- Kevin Sullivan was seen at an AWA house show sitting in the front row and taking notes. This sighting has been confirmed. It seems he is deciding which company to work for as he was seen at NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling a couple times last month.
ROH
6/29 Donovan Dijak and El Generico started the show. Generico had trouble getting any offense going in the beginning but he kept at it and started wearing down his larger opponent. In the end the smaller guy got the win. These two have been having some good matches lately. Next Team S.C.U.M., Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino, took on the unusual team of Tommaso Ciampa and Adam Page. It was obvious the latter had not worked together before as they lost quickly. After Ciampa got mad at Page for not making the save.
Mike Bennett continued his "path to greatness" by taking on The Last Real Man Silas Young. Mike was in trouble from the start. He fought back. Well with help from Maria distracting the ref. The two just kept slugging it out but neither could finish the other off before the time ran out. It is a safe bet they will have a rematch. Then it was the main event as AJ Styles was looking for revenge from last week as he faced his supposed tag partner from that match Matt Sydal. AJ was pissed and he took out all his frustration on Matt. Sydal seemed to have little chance in this match. AJ hit him with a vicious lariat and almost got the pin. Maybe Sydal should have just let the ref count three because right after AJ hit a Styles Clash and got the win. He could not celebrate however as the rest of Generation Next ran down and attacked him. Once Matt recovered he joined in the three on one beat down. Then to everyone's surprise the Bullet Club members we have seen recently started walking down to the ring. As they started to enter the ring Ares motioned for his stable mates to leave the ring. The three Bullet Club members looked down at the three Generation Next members who slowly made their way to the back. Then the Club members looked down at the laid out body of AJ Styles as the show ended. What is Bullet Club up to?
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
6/25 The last show before The Great American Bash ppv started with Mr Saito and Hillbilly Jim in a rematch. Their last match ended in a time limit draw but this one did not. It was still another brutal slugfest. In the end Jim hit a big boot on Saito and got the win. Then Don Leo Jonathan faced another Heenan Family member in Fritz von Goering. Don used his strength advantage to wear down Fritz but did not get the win thanks to some underhanded tactics and interference by Heenan. How will this effect his match with Cowboy Bob Orton this Sunday.
Bobo Brazil and Brutus Beefcake faced off next and Bobo owned Beefcake in this match. Then it was time for the main event as King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd took on Les Thatcher and Jimmy Snuka. It was a warm up match for Heenan's men for their title match at the ppv but not sure how much they got warmed up as they destroyed the smaller team, finishing Les with Passport To China.
6/26 The Great American Bash ppv:
1) Midnight Express vs. Poffo Power, US Tag Title semi final. The Express are on a mission to win some gold and they were not letting the Poffo's get in their way. They controlled the action for most of the match and finished them pretty quickly.
2) Samoa Swat Team vs. Killer Bees, US Tag Title semi final. In the other semi final it seemed the SST would move on and face the Midnight Express but the Bees had other plans. Brunzell put the figure four on Alofa and got him to tap. The Bees move on to the finals with a chance at gold around their waist.
3) Don Leo Jonathan vs. Cowboy Bob Orton, steel cage match. Don was looking to really get some revenge against Heenan through his top man. Thanks to the cage neither Heenan nor one of his men could interfere. That was probably the difference as Don dominated Bob before finally climbing out of the cage to get the win.
4) Midnight Express vs. Killer Bees, US Tag Title final. We were crowning the US Tag Title champions at the end of this match. Both teams went back and forth with chances to win. In the end the Express were a bit better and won the match. And the belts.
5) Bruiser Brody vs. Steve Williams, US Title. This was a brutal match as both guys tore into each other. Not much of the sweet science here. At one point it looked like Dr Death would get the win but Heenan distracted the ref giving his man time to recover and kick out. In the end thanks to some leg drops Bruiser was able to defend his title. However it seems like Williams has an argument for a rematch due to Heenan's interaction.
6) Road Warriors vs. King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd, Tag Championship. Heenan's family got the early advantage and it seemed their size advantage would help them get a win. Studd hit Animal with a nasty bodyslam but Hawk broke the pin attempt. Then Bundy and Studd hit Passport To Hell. Hawk came in to make the save but Studd stopped him. Lucky for Animal their manager Ellering was able to distract the ref enough to let Animal recover and kick out before three. It looked like Animal was in trouble but he was able to tag out. Once Hawk got in things turned in favor for the Road Warriors. They had Studd in trouble and hit the Doomsday Device on him. Bundy tried to make the save but Animal stopped him. As the ref tried to get them out of the ring Bobby Heenan slid in and hit Hawk with a chair. While it did not really hurt Hawk it distracted him and kept the Warriors from getting the win then. Then both teams went back and forth in a hard hitting classic. Eventually the Warriors hit a spiked piledriver on Bundy and got the win. The Road Warriors defended their titles but they did not look like winners once the match was over. Can anyone take the titles off of them?
7) Greg Valentine vs. Randy Savage, World Championship. Valentine attacked Savage from the start and seemed like he would defend his title. He slapped on the Figure Four on Savage but the "Macho Man" was able to make it to the rope to break the hold. Savage then fought back. After a few close two counts Randy climbed the turnbuckle and nailed Greg with the Flying Elbow and covered Greg for the three count. Randy Savage won back his World Championship. This will be his third reign with the title.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Championship: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Midnight Express
AWA
6/28 A rematch between Red Bastien and Bill Dundee started the show. Much like their last match Bill was in control early but could not put Red away. Red fought back and got the win although it was a bit harder than their last match. Former World Champion Frank Gotch faced Four Horsemen member Killer Kowalski in the next match. It was pretty one sided as Killer dominated Frank. Gotch looked dejected after. The main event was for the Tag Team Championship as the champs the Hart Foundation defended against American Starship. It seemed like the Hart's took the Starship lightly. Maybe they had been so focused on the Four Horsemen and the Hamilton Wrecking Crew lately they just were not ready for a team that had its up and downs since arriving on the scene. Early on Bret was in trouble and when Coyote hit him with a Heart Punch it seemed like their run as champs was over. However Owen made the save. Soon after Bret was able to tag out to his younger brother and Owen came in like a house on fire. He had some close pin attempts. Then the Starshp started to regain control. Then in possibly one of the biggest upsets of the year Eagle pinned Owen and the American Starship were the new Tag Team Champions.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: American Starship
ECW
6/27 The show opened with a match between Jon Moxley and Tommy Dreamer. Jon is a tough competitor but so is Tommy. It was a back and forth match for a bit then Tommy got on a roll, hit his Death Valley Driver finisher and got the win. Next Sabu faced, well we do not know who he was supposed to face. On the way to the ring two men came out from back and attacked him from behind. It was J.C. Ice and Wolfie D known collectively as PG-13. They tossed Sabu into the ring and continued to attack him. Wolfie D went out and brought in a couple chairs. Then PG-13 hit a Con-chair-to as the crowd booed. PG-13 are now in ECW but what is their problem with Sabu? Is it personal or were they just trying to make a statement?
Demolition took on the team of Jerry Lynn and Colt Cabana next. Demolition showed how dominating they can be and before long they hit Demolition Decapitation and got the win. The main event was a TV Title title match as the champ Raven defended against the main he beat in the finals of the tournament, RVD. Early on RVD was in control. He his a Van Daminator and almost got the pin. He went for a split legged moonsault but Raven grabbed the chair RVD brought in the ring and RVD landed on it hurting himself. That allowed Raven to start getting in some offense. Later in the match RVD seemed on the verge of winning again when Stevie Richards ran in and gave him a Stevie Kick. That helped Raven recover and eventually get the win. Raven might have defended his title but it was not easy.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Briscoe Brothers TV Title: Raven
CHIKARA
6/24 Incoherence and The Colony started the action. It was a solid tag team match with lots of double teaming and flying outside of the ring. In the end The Colony picked up the win. Not long ago Incoherence seemed to be on a roll and almost made it to the top of the mountain but since than they have been on a downward slide. Next Johnny Gargano had a match with Tiger Mask. Early on Tiger Mask was in control. His one mistake was he tossed Johnny out of the ring and went to flip over the ropes onto him but missed. After that Johnny controlled the action till he finished Tiger Mask off and got the win.
The newest member of the roster, Chris Hero faced another member of BDS next. It was not the one he wants, Tyler Black, however. It was Green Ant. Hero used numerous elbows and got a quick win over the smaller member. He then got on the mic and asked how long before Tyler stops ducking him and the two of them face off in a match. Then it was time for the main event. It was announced again that this would be the last time Eddie Kingston defends the Young Lions Cup as next week the Cup will be given up before the ppv to crown the next Young Lions Cup champion. It is also announced that a CHIKARA official will make an announcement after the match. First out is the challenger Paul London then the champ, Eddie Kingston. Paul put up a good fight but Eddie was just too much for him and Eddie successfully defended the Cup again. After the official came out. He said that soon CHIKARA would be crowning their first single champion with no age limits. The tournament will take over many weeks. They would announce the format and participants during the Young Lions Cup ppv with the exception of the announcement of the first participant. They are announcing that now and it will be...EDDIE KINGSTON. Eddie nods his head and has a smile on his face. This chapter of his life, being Young Lions Cup champion, is over but the next one is about to begin it seems.

Rumors and News
- ROH has announced they will have a PPV in each of the next two months.
- Talk going around is that Terry Gordy is close to signing with a new promotion. NJPW was the early favorite but it looks now like he might stay in the states.
ROH
7/6 Mike Bennett and Silas Young started the show with a rematch from last week that ended in a time limit draw. Before the match started Mike said it would not happen again. He backed that up with an impressive win over Silas. After the match we see the three members of Bullet Club that have been hanging around in ROH walk up to AJ Styles in the locker room. Antonio Inoki says it seems that Styles has a problem with Generation Next. Perhaps they can help each other. Bullet Club has been wanting to expand their control in wrestling. That is why he is here in the states. They want to start a branch of Bullet Club in ROH. Warlord and Giant Bernard are the first members. Antonio says he can not stay and lead them as he needs to get back to NJPW. That is where AJ comes in. Antonio says he wants AJ to be the leader of the US branch of Bullet Club. By doing that Antonio will feel that the Club will be in good hands and AJ will have some back up in his feud with Generation Next. AJ ponders the offer for a bit then he smiles and extends his hand to Antonio. They shake on it and just like that the Bullet Club had a presence in ROH and Styles has help in his feud. Speaking of Generation Next, Roderick Strong was in the next match with Adam Cole. Good hard match at first. Then Cole starts to wear Roderick down. He hits Florida Key and seemed to have the win but Matt Sydal distracts the ref. It saved Strong from being pinned then but only delayed the outcome as Cole got the win.
We then see Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino in the back talking to an ROH executive. They say they deserve a tag title match. That the only reason they have not had one is ROH is afraid of S.C.U.M. controlling all the gold. They are then interrupted by the Motor City Machine Guns. Daniels ask Jacobs and Corino why they think they deserve a shot more than the Guns. He says the Guns deserve a title shot. The executive looks like he is starting to get a headache as we go back to the ring. Nigel McGuinness faced Homicide. Homicide came down without Truth Martini. It did not matter as he was on a mission and dominated Nigel and got the win. Then it was the main event as reDRagon took on War Machine in a non title match. reDRagon had Rowe in trouble early on. They could not get the pin and he tagged out to Hanson. Hanson got on a roll and then tagged Rowe back in. After a bit reDRagon had Rowe in trouble again but again could not put him away. Hanson got back in and worked Kyle over. They went outside of the ring and Hanson powerbombed Kyle. It was enough to keep him from getting back in before the 20 count. War Machine had beat the champions. Of course it was non title and they would not have won the belts anyways due to being by count out. However this should earn them a title match. Looks like ROH execs will have more headaches deciding the tag team picture and who is the top contender.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: reDRagon
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
7/2 The opening match was Don Leo Jonathan against Boris Zhukov. Boris did not come down alone as he was joined by a mean looking probable Russian. Don Leo and Boris slugged it out. At one point Don Leo went for a pin but the mystery man got on the ring apron. He earned a dropkick from Don Leo for his effort. In the end Don Leo got the win. After the bell the mystery men joined Boris in the ring and both of them attacked Don Leo. As they were leaving an interviewer came up to ask who this man with Boris was. All Boris said was his name is Ivan Koloff and that he was there to watch Boris's back and help with how NWA is trying to keep him from winning. After that they left. Then we see King Kong Bundy, Big John Studd and Bobby Heenan in back. They are wondering why Steve Williams got another title shot tonight but they are not getting another shot at the Road Warriors. Bundy and Studd start yelling and saying they are the team that will dethrone the champs when suddenly they are attacked by The Vachons who are wielding chairs. After a few chair shots they have laid out Bundy and Studd. They turn to Bobby who takes off running down the hall.
Fritz von Goering has a rematch with George Steele next. Fritz did not have Bobby in his corner. Bobby is probably half way to the next state by now. The last time these two tangled George got disqualified. He came close to doing that again but Fritz was able to get a clean win over him. Next SST and the Killer Bees faced each other in tag action. The Bees were dominating in their win. After Jim got on the mic and said they want the US Tag Titles and told the Midnight Express they are coming for them. Then it is the main event as Bruiser Brody defended his US Title against Steve Williams. This was an awesome brutal back and forth. Bruiser was in control till he tosses Steve out of the ring and went after him. Steve then got control, tossed Bruiser back in the ring and hit his finisher but Brody was able to kick out. That was Steve's best chance as a short while later Brody got the win to defend hit title. Will anyone be able to beat him?
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Midnight Express
AWA
7/5 Iron Sheik had a rare single match as he faced the Missing Link in the first match of the night. The Link was controlling the action early. After a couple unsuccessful pin attempts he lost control of his anger, went outside to grab a chair and came in the ring and hit the Iron Sheik a couple times to get disqualified. Killer Kowalski took on Bryan Danielson next. Killer beat down the smaller opponent early but Bryan fought back and ended up getting Killer to tap to his finisher. As Bryan celebrated outside of the ring Kowalski was throwing a fit inside of it as he was upset about losing to Bryan...again.
Tag action came next as The Sheepherders faced off against the Valiant Brothers. The Valiants were surprising the Sheepherders early but the cousins from down under fought back. It seemed they had the win on Jimmy when Johnny ran in to break the pin attempt. This lead to both teams brawling. It took the ref some time to regain control. However as he was trying to get the Valiants back into their corner he did not see the Hamilton Wrecking Crew come in and lay out Luke then lay out Butch and toss him out of the ring. This lead to Jimmy pinning Luke and getting the upset win for his team. Something tells us The Sheepherders will not be happy about this outcome. The main event was a rematch between Nick Bockwinkel and Johnny Saint. In their last match they had a battle that ended in a time limit draw. Nick was unhappy about that outcome but not this one. He simply dominated Johnny and got an easy win. After Nick made the belt motion at his waist. A sign he wants to be World Champion again?
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: American Starship
ECW
7/4 The show starts with the announcers saying this will be a special edition of ECW. It is called Red, White and Bruised. The main event will be a tag team title match. We also will see a new wrestler in ECW in the first match that is perfect for a 4th of July episode. To the ring for action. Adrian Street is out first with Miss Linda. Then it is his opponent, The Patriot. The match goes back and forth and thanks to Miss Linda getting involved Adrian Street almost got the win but in the end The Patriot picked up the W in his debut. Next One Man Gang took on Al Snow. Al used a speed and agility advantage early to keep OMG on his toes but once Gang got hit hands on Snow he started beating him down and got the win. He grabbed a mic after and said "your time as champion is running out Taz". Speaking of Taz, the last man to face him Larry Sweeney was being interviewed in back next. He said he is starting to think the being in the ring is not the place for him. He recently came into a big chunk of money and he sees big things for himself in the future. He tells everyone to keep an eye on him.
The next match was Sabu vs Wolfie D of PG-13. Early in the match Wolfie tossed Sabu out of the ring and JC Ice started attacking him. JC tossed Sabu back in the ring. Both members of PG-13 kicked at Sabu. Sabu backed himself into a corner as the two members of PG-13 slowly moved in to finish him off. Suddenly the lights went off and after a bit came back on. That was a situation usually associated with Sabu but he had already been in the ring. This time it was another man that was in the ring when the lights came back on. Standing between Sabu and PG-13, holding a chair, was none other than Sabu's own uncle the one and only Original Sheik. The crowd popped when they saw him. As PG-13 looked at each other and decided if they should rush him an ECW official came out. He said the match between Sabu and Wolfie D was a no contest due to what just happened but the fans deserved a match so we now have a tag match as PG-13 will face Sabu and The Sheik. The crowd loved this idea. Sabu and Wolfie D started the tag match. Considering the beating he just took it was probably not a good idea for Sabu to do that. PG-13 used frequent tags and double teaming to beat him down and after JC Ice hit Sabu with a hubcap the end was near. PG-13 got the win without The Sheik tagging in. This feud does not seem over.
RVD took on Stevie Richards next. Stevie did not come down alone as Tina Moretti came down with him. She could not motivate Stevie as RVD dominated most of the match and finished Stevie off with a Van Terminator. Then it was time for the main event as the Briscoe Brothers took on the Wolves. The bad evening for Raven's Flock continued as the Wolves kept tagging in and out quickly as they wore Mark down and finally pinned him. We had new Tag Team Champions as the longest reign in ECW tag title history came to an end. Can the Wolves hold onto the belts as long? Odds are the Briscoe Brothers will be coming for them real soon.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Wolves TV Title: Raven
CHIKARA
7/1 Ultramantis Black is told he has a match with a BDS member to kick off the show. He does not seem happy but he has no choice in the matter. That match is with Pinkie Sanchez. Pinkie was controlling things early. Perhaps Ultramantis had ring rust. After a bit he started getting his game going and eventually got the win with his finisher. After the match Delirious ran down to ring side and ran around the ring a few times as Ultramantis prepared for him to attack. However Delirious, who was now wearing a red mask, just ran off to the back. That was weird even for him. Next Crossbones took on Hydra. Hydra got in a bit of offense early but soon Crossbones used his strength advantage to get the win. We then had a ceremony where Eddie Kingston handed over the Young Lions Cup. This Sunday we would be crowing a new champion at the Young Lions Cup PPV.
Chris Hero faced another BDS member next as he took on Sara Del Rey. This was Hero's hardest challenge so far and it showed early on. Sara had him off guard and looked like she might beat him. Then she tossed him out of the ring and fellow BDS member Tursas started beating him down. The ref tried to get him to stop but he would not so the ref called for the bell and Sara was disqualified. The main event was The Colony against Bravado Brothers. The Brothers were trying to get their third point and they came out like a house on fire. They were dominating Fire Ant, using often tags and double teaming to wear him down, and end up getting the pin on him. To think a team that almost did not get signed with CHIKARA now have earned a title shot. After the match the Naptown Dragons came out to the top of the stage. They looked surprised or confused while also mad. The longer they were out there the more angry they got. They started walking down to the ring and slid under the ropes to get in. It looked like they were about to attack the team they have been feuding with, Bravado Brothers, but instead they turned around and attacked The Colony. The Brothers rolled out of the ring as the Naptown Dragons beat down The Colony. What is the Dragons issue with The Colony?
7/3 Young Lions Cup ppv
1) Tiger Mask vs TJ Perkins. The opening match of the tournament was expected to be high octane but Tiger quickly grounded TJ and kept the pressure on. TJ got in some offense but it was far from enough and Tiger Mask moved on.
2) Fire Ant vs Zach Sabre Jr. After the beating he took a couple days ago Fire Ant came down with his ribs wrapped up. Zach tried to take advantage of this but to no avail as Fire Ant kept hitting him with Beachbreak. The last time it was from the 2nd rope and that was it. Fire Ant was moving on to the semi final to face Tiger Mask.
3) Pinkie Sanchez vs Prince Puma. Puma was dominating the BDS member till he missed a 630 Senton. Pinkie's advantage was short lived as the Prince regained control. Again he went for a 630 Senton but this time Pinkie got his knees up to cause Puma pain. He tried to pin Puma but Puma kicked out. The Prince was determined to win and he fought back and hit a shooting star press and got the win to move on to the semi finals.
4) Jigsaw vs Jim Powers. In the last opening match one of CHIKARA's top highflyers took on the one guy in the tournament known more for his strength than his aerial ability. Jim went for an early pin attempt but Jigsaw kicked out. Jim then hit a couple Power Slam finishers and he had a quick shocking win.
Next CHIKARA officials came out to explain the tournament to crown CHIKARA's first Grand Champion. It will cover many weeks on their normal weekly show. There will be two blocks of five wrestlers each. Each block will be a round robin. Wrestlers will get 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. The winner of each block will then face each other to crown the Champion. The first block will be made up of Eddie Kingston, Ultramantis Black, Crossbones, Brodie Lee and Delirious. Looks like Black will have some former members to get through to win his block. The other block will consist of Tyler Black, Chris Hero, Mike Quackenbush, Johnny Gargano and Icarus. This should be a real fun tournament to watch over next few months. Time to get back to the action.
5) Tiger Mask vs Fire Ant, semi final match. Tiger Mask dominated the match much like his first match. He was starting to look like the favorite to win as he was determined and took very little damage.
6) Prince Puma vs Jim Powers, semi final match. Powers used his strength advantage to control the action early and wear down Puma. He made one mistake. He went to the top of the turnbuckle and tried to be a highflyer. He came off the turnbuckle and took a superkick from Puma. The Prince went on the offense and excited the crowd when he hit a double rotation moonsault to get the win and move into the finals.
7) Tiger Mask vs Prince Puma, final match. A real good match as both men went back and forth. It looked like it was over when Puma hit his double rotation moonsault. However unlike the last match it did not finish Puma's opponent as Tiger Mask kicked out. Puma was not to be deterred from his goal. He went back up and finally successfully hit the 630 Senton and this time Tiger Mask could not kick out. Your winner and NEW Young Lions Cup champion, Prince Puma.

Rumors and News
- Talk going around is that Boris Zhukov's new friend, Ivan Koloff, is an escapee from Russia's Black Dolphin prison. Black Dolphin is one of Russia's toughest prisons. It is said no one has ever escaped from there and due to Russia's secretive nature it is impossible to verify this one way or the other.
- It looks like the Hart brothers, Bret and Owen, might no longer be teaming. On recent house shows Bret has been teaming with Magnum T.A. It is believed that the Hart Foundation will have Owen focusing on single wrestling now.
ROH
7/13 The show starts with tag action as Team S.C.U.M, Jacobs and Corino, took on MCMG, Daniels and Sabin. The Guns got an impressive win as they controlled most of the action. Team S.C.U.M. was not happy about losing and they attacked the Guns after the match and both teams brawled until officials ran down to separate the teams. Next Tommaso Ciampa had a match with Kazarian. Kaz had problem getting any real offense going and before long Tommaso put him away.
Next we finally saw the Bullet Club in action as Warlord and Giant Bernard took on Generation Next, Strong and Sydal. Early on the Bullet Club had Sydal in trouble and looked to be on the way to an easy win. But Matt was able to tag out and soon Generation Next got going. The match went back and forth but eventually Warlord got Sydal in a full nelson and Sydal was unable to break out and was forced to submit. The first battle went to the Bullet Club over Generation Next but the war is far from over. The main event was Mike Bennett against Matt Hardy of S.C.U.M. Mike was out to send a message to the ROH World Champion as he dominated the Icon and pinned Matt. How long before Mike gets a title match against Kevin Steen?

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
7/9 Ivan Koloff took on Don Leo Jonathan in the opening match. Early on Don Leo was in control. The match turned when he tossed Ivan into the corner and as he rushed to splash him Boris pulled Ivan out of the corner causing Don Leo to hit the turnbuckle. After that Ivan got on a roll and end up with a win thanks to the Russian Bear Hug. Ivan and Boris celebrated after. Next match was between Ted Dibiase and Masked Superstar. The former World Champion controlled the action and got the win over the Masked Superstar.
Steve "Dr Death" Williams battled Brutus Beefcake in the next match and earned his first win in NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling. The main event was a grudge match as Heenan's men King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd took on former Heenan Family members The Vachons. Early on Studd used his size and strength advantage to put his team in control. The Vachons were not going down easy as they wanted revenge. Bundy and Studd his Passport To China on Mad Dog but Butcher was able to make the pin save. A few minutes later after Bundy missed a splash Butcher was able to put him away to get the win for his team. Bobby was not happy about that.

7/12 Last week Iron Sheik got a DQ win over Missing Link when Link used a chair on him. This week his tag partner Nikolai Volkoff was trying to get some pay back in the first match. Nikolai wore Missing Link down and ended up getting the pinning victory. In the next match Frank Gotch took on Hart Foundation member Magnum T.A. The aged veteran got the better of the young rookie as he dominated the match and won rather quickly.
The Empire was back in action next as they took on the Love Brothers. We had not seen The Empire in a couple months ever since David Taylor was injured by a Heart Punch by Coyote of American Starship. There was no ring rust for The Empire as they got the win over the Love Brothers. The main event was a World Championship match as the champion Buddy Rogers faced Red Bastien. Red has been on a roll of lately that earned him this title opportunity. Early on he had Buddy on his heels but the leader of the Four Horsemen fought back and won the first fall via the Figure Four. The second match was more of the same as Buddy worked Red over and slapped on the Figure Four again and forced Red to submit. Buddy won the match two falls to none.

ECW
7/11 Action kicked off with ECW new comer The Patriot going up against Killer Khan. Killer started strong but quickly The Patriot turned things around and got as easy win. Next Sabu, with his uncle The Sheik in his corner, took on Wolfie D, with JC Ice in his corner. Wolfie D is a good tag wrestler but he was no match for Sabu in a one on one match. Early on it looked like Sabu would get an easy win but JD Ice ran in to break the pin attempt. Wolfie D then was on offense and after a bit Sabu's uncle was able to return the favor as he ran in to break Wolfie's pin attempt. After that The Sheik and JC Ice started brawling outside of the ring. Meanwhile inside Sabu hit his Triple Jump Moonsault and got the win.
Tag action was next as Voodoo Kill Mafia faced the Young Bucks. The Bucks are talented but still green and the experience of the VKM helped them to a fairly easy win. The main event was between two guys with a nasty history in ECW. One Man Gang against his nemesis Super Crazy. OMG simply dominated Crazy to get a very impressive win. He then got on the mic and called out World Champion Taz. Gang was saying he deserves a title shot and Taz needs to stop dodging him. Taz came out to the top of the ramp with Bill Alfonso. Bill was blowing his whistle, jumping all around and pointing at Gang all while Taz just stood there, arms crossed against his chest and stared a hole into One Man Gang. The show ended like that. Will Taz answer the challenge and give OMG a title shot?

CHIKARA
7/8 Mike Quackenbush took on Johnny Gargano in a Grand Champion tournament match to open the show. Lately Johnny has been getting the better of Mike and his friends. A point he made sure Mike did not forget before the match as he offered Mike the chance to save time and avoid a pin by simply leaving. Mike was not having any of it and he asked for the bell. Early on it looked like Johnny would keep on that roll but Mike fought back and earned the first win in the tournament. Johnny could not believe what happened. It is obvious he thought it would be a cake walk and did not expect to lose. After that match The Colony came down to the ring and called out the Naptown Dragons. The Dragons came down to the ring and Soldier Ant asked why did the Dragons come down last week and attack them. Scotty said the whole reason the Bravado Brothers are not only in CHIKARA but have 3 points is because of the damn Ants. He said they had made sure the Brothers would not be in CHIKARA when they beat them at the Aniversario PPV but The Colony went and gave them a second chance. Then did The Colony only not beat them to keep them out of CHIKARA they lost to the Brothers again last week to help them earn the 3rd point needed for a title match. Soldier Ant says if the Dragons have an issue with them how about handling it in the ring instead of attacking like a bunch of punks. And just like that we have a match. The Naptown Dragons looked impressive as they beat The Colony.
Shane Storm took on Paul London in the next match. Before the match starts we see a clip of Hydra talking to Storm in back and asking to form a tag team with him. Storm said no, that last time he "tagged" with Hydra it ended up getting him beat up by the BDS. If that happens with him not teaming with Hydra he can only imagine the trouble that would come with teaming with Hydra for real. Then it was time for the match. Paul showed some nice offense but Shane ended up with the win. The main event say the first man entered into the Grand Champion tournament, Eddie Kingston, take on Brodie Lee in the 2nd tournament match. Brodie tried to use his size advantage but Eddie's experience was too much and Eddie got the win and the two points. Before the show ends it is announced that Tyler Black will be in action next week and the opening match will be a Grand Champion tournament match between former Order members Delirious and Crossbones. This will be Delirious's first match since being freed from the control of Ultramantis Black and the Eye of Tyr. Will these two former teammates have a solid wrestling match or will they end up having a war? Do not miss the start of next week.

ROH
7/20 The show starts with S.C.U.M. in back all upset because the main event tonight was announced to be Kevin Steen defending the World title against Mike Bennett. Jimmy Jacobs says there is no way that match will happen. Then it is to the ring for the opening match. Tommaso Ciampa took on Matt Taven. Tommaso took it to Matt and never let him get in the match before finally finishing him off. Next we see the leader of Bullet Club USA, AJ Styles, take on Generation Next member, Matt Sydal, in a rematch from a month ago. This match went much like that one with AJ controlling most of the action and finally getting the pin.
We get an announcement that if Steen does not defend his title tonight he will be stripped of the title. Then we see S.C.U.M. trashing their dressing room as Jimmy says ROH will pay for this. Back to the ring for tag team action. War Machine went up against Backseat Boyz. In a bit of an upset the Boyz got the win. War Machine refused to shake hands after as they were obviously very upset and let the ring with angry looks on their faces. It seems they can not believe they lost to the smaller team. Especially after getting a non title win over the tag champs just a couple weeks ago. Then it is time for the main event. Bennett comes out with Maria. They stand in the ring waiting on the champion but look around thinking he was not going to show. Finally after starting his entrance music a third time Kevin Steen slowly made his way down to the ring. We then have the start of the match. The action goes back and forth with a couple near falls. Mike starts getting on a roll when his former trainer Brutal Bob makes his way to ring side. We had not seen him since Bennett made his return and it was assumed they had split. It seems Bob was not happy about that as he got on the ring apron and started yelling at Mike. As the ref tried to get Bob to drop down to the floor Mike turned around and kicked Steen right between his legs. As Kevin bent over in obvious pain, Bob got a big smile and dropped off the apron. Was Bob working with Mike? Bennett hit his finisher and got a close pin a couple times. He hit his finisher again when Jimmy Jacobs ran down to yell at Maria. As the ref turned his attention to that, Matt Hardy saved Steen. He hit a Twist of Hate on Bennett and rolled out of the ring. When the ref turned back around Kevin his his finisher and got the 3 count to win the match and retain his title. As the S.C.U.M. members celebrated in the ring Maria and Bob gave them killing stares from the floor.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
7/16 We start the show with the Tag Team Champions, the Road Warriors, cutting a promo. They talk about how they have beat everyone in NWA:GCW. Every team that has been put in front of them they have rolled over. They are starting to get bored. Maybe it is time to take their act on the road and try and find some real competition. Then an executive comes out and says the Warriors will be in the main event tonight defending their titles. Their opponent will be someone they have not faced before and they will not know who it is till match time. We then have action as the Killer Bees face Poffo Power. The Bees looked very impressive as they got a rather easy win over the Poffos. After the match we go to the back again as Steve Williams is being interviewed. He is asked what is his plan now that he has come up short on winning the US Title. Before he can answer he is jumped by three men. It is the Rio Grande Independent Posse; Blackjack Mulligan, "Wildfire" Tommy Rich and Tracy Smothers. The three roughnecks beat down Dr Death, stare down the interviewer and camera man then simply walk off without saying a thing. Next Cowboy Bob Orton took on Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Heenan's man had little trouble with the tough Duggan and got the victory.
Former World Champion Greg Valentine took on Jimmy Snuka in the next match. Jimmy used his speed and high flying abilities to pull off the upset. Greg sat there in shock after losing. Then it is main event time as the Tag Team Champions came out first. The Road Warriors paced the ring as they wanted their opponents. Men At Work's song Down Under started and the crowd popped as The Kangaroos came out. The Warriors did not look impressed as one of the hottest tag teams made their way to the ring. The match was a seesaw as control went back and forth. The turning point came when Ray tried to do a hair pull on Hawk. The problem is when you do that you grab your opponents hair in the middle of their head but Hawk has no hair there so Ray's hand just slid across scalp and Hawk got back on the offense. Soon after the Warriors hit the Doomsday Device and just like that they had another win and had added another name to the list of teams they had defeated. They are just a couple months away from the one year anniversary of winning the Tag titles. Seriously, can ANYONE defeat them?

7/19 Bobby Shane and Bob Roop started the show. Roop had recently been teaming with Playboy Buddy Rose so maybe he had some ring rust in single matches as Bobby Shane was never really in trouble and eventually got the win. Next Hart Foundation member Bryan Danielson took on Freddie Blassie. Freddie was in control early thanks to some biting as he dug his teeth into Bryan's forehead over and over. But the young man fought back and put the vet away.
Speaking of vets, future HOFer and recent World Champion, Frank Gotch battled Nick Bockwinkel in the next match. Nick is on a mission to get the World title back himself as he was the one Gotch beat for the title. This was just another part of his path to that goal as he kept Gotch on his heels and defeated him. Then it was the main event, a #1 contender match for the Tag Team Championship. The Sheepherders faced their hated rivals Hamilton Wrecking Crew. The Horsemen already have the World Championship and they were trying to earn a chance to add the tag gold. But it would not be as The Sheepherders got on a roll early and never took their foot off the accelerator. They got the win and earned a title shot.

7/18 The Shard had a match with Rich Swann to start the show. Swann is dominating the action till the Voodoo Kill Mafia run down to distract the ref and make a pin save. After that Swann makes the mistake to look at the VKM and yell at them. When he turns around he got a super kick and just like that The Shard won the match. After The Shard looked into the camera and circled his eye. The camera then cuts to the back where we see Larry Sweeney talking to D'lo Brown and Val Venis. When the camera gets closer to hear what they are saying Larry seems it and walks off. The next match was Sandman against Necro Butcher. It was a brutal match that saw the use of many chairs, mostly by Necro. He used them for his finisher but also to hit Sandman in the head. By the time the match was over Sandman had been busted open. Necro picked up the win after hitting his finisher for the third time in the match.
Former Tag Team Champions Briscoe Brothers took on the Mongols in tag action next. The Mongols used their size and strength advantage early on to control the brothers. However the Briscoes used some double teaming and frequent tags to regain the advantage and get the win. The main event was Taz defending the World Championship against One Man Gang. Gang had been demanding a title shot for awhile and he finally got it. Early on he dominated his smaller opponent and looked to be well on the way to being the new champion. Then Taz started using his large repertoire of suplexs to wear down his bigger opponent. Between that and the Tazmission the champ finally wore down OMG enough to put him away. Taz had defended his title.

7/15 The show kicks off with a match for the Grand Championship tournament. Delirious took on former stable mate Crossbones. When Delirious came down for the match he ran at full speed, slid in the ring and then slid right out again. He ran around the ring some. He hopped on the announcers table and looked around. The ref motioned for him to get back in the ring. It took awhile but finally Delirious got in the ring and the match started. He seemed distracted throughout and got very little offense in. Eventually Crossbones put him away in a dominating win. Next we saw Tursas take on Archibald Peck. It was a short match as the large beast threw Peck around the ring and finally finished him off. We then get announcement that Chris Hero and Ultramantis Black will be in action next week in their opening matches of the Grand Champion tournament.
We had trios action in the following match as The Colony and Worker Ant took on the BDS team of Sara Del Rey, Daizee Haze and Pinkie Sanchez. The Colony had been on a losing streak and that continued this week when Sanchez pinned Worker Ant. The main event was another match in the tournament to crown the first Grand Champion. BDS leader Tyler Black faced Icarus. Tyler had his hands full as Icarus started on fire. He dominated the action and early on hit Wings of Icarus not once but twice with Tyler kicking out both times. He then hit his Blu-Ray finisher but again it was not enough to put Tyler away. The match then went back and forth with some brutal action as both men gave it their all. Icarus was able to hit the Blue-Ray again but Green Ant ran down and distracted the ref. While that happened Tursas came in and beat down Icarus. After Tursas and Tyler double teamed a bit Tursas got out of the ring. Soon after Black hit the Phoenix Splash and Icarus could not kick out. Tyler had his first two points in his first match in the tournament.
