Rumors and News
- The early word out of NJPW is the Young Bucks have really been improving. While not picking up wins they have been going toe to toe with some of the best tag teams over there and holding their own.
- AWA are in the process of adding a new single title, the American Heavyweight title, and there will be a PPV in November to crown the first champion.
ROH
10/26 Another match in the Top Prospect tournament kicked off the show as Drew Gulak took on Johnny Yuma. Gulak was not able to put Yuma away the first time he slapped on the Gu-lock but he was the second time. So Drew moves on. We get promo for next weeks match as Caleb Konley takes on Lio Rush. The next match was Donovan Dijak against Adam Page, last years Top Prospect winner. Adam showed he still has room for improvement as Donovan dominated him for the easy win.
Rhino and Silas Young were next. It seemed Rhino must have said something to Silas before the match started because he was angry about something. He was in control early then the action spilled outside of the ring. That is when Silas grabbed a chair and started hitting Rhino with it resulting in the ref calling for the DQ. Rhino won but ended up needing help to the back. In the main event Bullet Club took on Generation Next. What could have been a real good match ended up being a quick one as Warlord caught Sydal off guard and pinned him early in the match.
World Champion: Keven Steen Tag Team Champion: Team S.C.U.M.
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
10/22 The show starts with Bobby Heenan, Bruiser Brody and an NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling official in the ring. Bobby says Bruiser should not have to wrestle at Halloween Havoc since he has beat every contender in GCW. He should get the winner of the World title match. The official says Bobby is right when he says Brody has beat all the contenders in GCW. That is why they went outside to find a challenger. With that he points to the jumbo screen. It is black with an eerie music. There are screams and a male voice saying "no one can stop him, no one is safe". Red, blood like streaks go down the screen then a face slowly comes into focus. It is Freddie Blassie. His jaw chomps a few times then he says in a low voice "I will be seeing you Bruiser at Halloween Havoc". Bobby looks worried but Bruiser does not seem fazed. We then get a promo about the history between Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake from them being a tag team to going their own way and finally their recent confrontations. It is announced they will have a match at Halloween Havoc.
The first match is Hillbilly Jim vs one of the men we just saw, Greg Valentine. A good match that say the big man finish off Greg with a big boot. Then we have a match between two very large men as Don Leo Jonathan took on Giant Baba. This was a brutal match that saw neither man able to stay in control for long over the first few minutes. Finally Don Leo was able too and he ended up with the win.
The Vachons and Glam Gods were in tag action next. Before the match started it was announced that The Vachons would get the chance for some revenge against Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy at Halloween Havoc. Perhaps they were thinking too much about that match as they were upset in this one when Dalton pinned Mad Dog. In the main event Blackjack Mulligan faced off against a new comer Mike Graham. Blackjack had little trouble with the noobie and he got the win.
The final card for Halloween Havoc appears to be:
Randy Savage vs. Angelo Poffo (World title) Road Warriors vs. Midnight Express (title vs. title) Bruiser Brody vs. Freddie Blassie (US title) Steve Williams vs. Blackjack Mulligan (falls count anywhere) The Vachons vs. King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd Greg Valentine vs. Brutus Beefcake Killer Bees vs. Glam Gods
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Midnight Express
AWA
10/25 We see Bob Roop talking to Marty Jannetty at the start of the show. Bob says they had a real good match last week and thinks they would make a good tag team. Marty says he will think about it. The first match saw Red Bastien pick up a win over Buddy Rose in a decent match. Next the Hit Squad took on The Empire. Early on Bret Hart got Finlay in the Sharpshooter and almost got the win right then. Finaly was able to make it to the rope but it just put off the inevitable as the Hit Squad kept at it with timely tags and eventually got the win.
Frank Gotch is talking to GM Charlie Cox about his career coming to an end and he wants one more shot at the World Championship. Cox says he will think about it and give Gotch an answer next week. Owen Hart faced Bob Roop in the next match. Roop did not come out alone as Marty Janetty came to the ring with him. Roop put up a good fight but Owen got the win. The main event was between Nick Bockwinkel and Killer Kowalski. This match was almost all Nick as he got the win.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: American Starship
ECW
10/24 Sabu and Rex Havoc opened the show. Both guys took it to each other and in the end Sabu won by camel clutch. After the match ECW announces that they will be holding a PPV next month, November To Remember. ECW has signed a top free agent from outside of ECW to face Taz for the World Championship at the PPV and he will be revealed...next week. Super Crazy and Necro Butcher battle in the second match. Both guys are trying to climb back up the ladder and went at it with fire but in the end it was Super Crazy who got the win.
Tag action between Briscoe Brothers and Demolition was next. The members of Raven's Flock took it to the two big bruising men and earned a hard fought victory. The main event was Armageddon taking on the Sandman. This ended up a total squash as Armageddon hit a falling elbow early in the match and followed it up with the sitdown splash and got the win. This made Larry Sweeney very happy. We saw Armageddon and Larry standing over the body of Sandman as Larry laughed like a mad man as the show ended. Now that he has got revenge against the men he felt disrespected him what is next on his agenda?
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: Voodoo Kill Mafia TV Title: Al Snow
CHIKARA
10/21 The final show before the Cibernetico PPV started with a match between Tiger Mask and Shane Storm. Tiger showed that Shane is not in his class and got the win. Amber is then seen in back interviewing Ultramantis Black. She says we know 7 of the 8 wrestlers on Team CHIKARA but who is the last member. Black says she and everyone else will just have to wait till the PPV. He says he has someone motivated and talented who will help their team get the win over BDS. He says it is time to stop the reign of terror of BDS and send them packing. Next is Jim Powers going up against Tursas. They are fighting outside of the ring when as the ref is trying to get them back in the ring Powers accidentally pushes the ref resulting in him losing via DQ.
It was a DQ in the next match as well but that was no accident. Chris Hero was going up against Jigsaw and when the action spilled out of the ring Hero grabbed a chair and hit Jigsaw in the back with it resulting in the ref calling for the bell. The main event saw the last two tag teams to challenge the Bravado Brothers face off as Naptown Dragons and The Throwbacks had a match. It was a good back and forth affair that saw The Throwbacks come out on top.
10/23 Cibernetico: War Begins ppv:
1) Tiger Mask vs. Zach Sabre Jr - This match to open the PPV was between two young lions who have had some issues recently. It was a good, face paced match with lots of high flying. In the end Tiger Mask got the W.
2) Naptown Dragons vs. The Colony - The Dragons had taken a couple losses recently and they were not happy about it. They took it out on The Colony and got the victory.
3) Chuck Taylor vs. Crossbones - A good match that saw Crossbones use his power advantage to earn the win.
4) Team CHIKARA vs. BDS (Torneo Cibernetico) - The wrestlers came down in the order they would be tagging in. First it was BDS as Pinkie Sanchaz, Sara Del Rey, Green Ant, Ares, Claudio Castagnoli, Tursas, Daizee Haze and Delirious made their way to the ring. Then it was Team CHIKARA's turn. Out came Ultramantis Black (who was sporting a more colorful look with his arms exposed and wearing love beads), Frightmare, Hallowicked, Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw, Brodie Lee and Leva Bates in an Clockwork Orange inspired outfit. That left the mystery partner. He came out wearing traditional wrestling gear including a head piece in American colors. It took a second to recognize him but it was non other than former tag partner of Ares in die Jager, TIM DONST. The crowd gave him a nice reception at his arrival. Looks like Tim was ready to get some pay back for what BDS did to him.
Ultramantis Black and Pinkie Sanchaz, as captains, started the match. Black was on fire and seemed determined to finish off BDS all by himself. He should have tagged out when he got the chance because after a bit BDS started wearing him down. However before they could finish him off he tagged out. The first fall came when Haze pinned Frightmare. After that fall Hallowicked ran in and attacked Haze. He had her in trouble and was about to pin her to eliminate her but Delirious ran in to make the save. He then tossed her out of the ring in effect tagging himself in. A few tags later Quackenbush pinned Delirious who looked around after the pin and then just ran off into the back. The next fall came when Brodie Lee got some revenge by punishing Green Ant before pinning him. Ares then came in and he and Lee went at it hard. Both men ended up on the floor. At that Claudio and Leva Bates got in the ring as the legal men. They stared at each other and Claudio tagged out to Tursas which was weird since that was the first time Claudio got in. Some more action and tags before Ultramantis pinned Del Rey. BDS was losing members fast in this match.
A bit later Hallowicked was in the ring and Castagnoli got tagged in. Claudio hardly put up a fight and when Hallowicked pinned him Claudio did not seem to try and kick out. Before leaving the match he turned to Ares and shrugged his shoulders. Before too long Lee pinned Pinkie Sanchez to eliminate Pinkie. Unfortunately after the three count Lee kept beating down on Pinkie and ended up getting himself DQ'd thus eliminating himself. Possible the biggest shock of the night came a few minutes later when Leva Bates pinned Tursas after a Critical Confirmation in quite the upset. Leva kept the roll she was on by pinning Haze. The left but one member of BDS left, Ares. Team CHIKARA took their time wearing him down and it was only fitting the man to defeat him was his former tag partner Tim Donst.
That gave the team win to Team CHIKARA as they had 6 members left. However there can only be one winner in this match so the last standing wrestlers; Ultramantis Black, Mike Quakenbush, Jigsaw, Leva Bates, Hallowicked and Tim Donst faced off in a four corners elimination match. Ultramantis Black and Tim Donst started with the other members in each corner. Anyone could tag out to anyone at any time. The first fall came when Ultramantis Black tagged out to Hallowicked and they did a double team on Tim and Hallowicked pinned him. After the pin Jigsaw and Bates both get in. They stare each other down and Bates makes Jigsaw leave. He did not seem happy. Especially after she pinned Hallowicked. Soon as the ref counted three Jigsaw ran in and attacked her. Not long after he eliminated her by pinfall. They just stared at each other as the ref tried to get her out of the ring. It is Jigsaw's turn to be eliminated next as Ultramantis Black pinned him. This left the two last men Ultramantis Black and Mike Quackenbush. They faced off and had a nice quick match that saw Mike finish Ultramantis off with a Quackendriver IV. Your winner of the match, Mike Quackenbush. After Ultramantis gets up and shakes his hand before leaving Mike alone in the ring to celebrate. As Ultramantis makes his way up the ramp and as he is half way to the back Ares runs down and attacks him. Mike sees this and runs over to try and save him when Claudio runs down with a chair. Mike pauses and plans on what to do when suddenly Claudio hits Ares with it. He tosses the chair to the side and slowly backs up the ramp. Before leaving he puts his hands above his head making the Illuminati pyramid hand sign while an evil grin crosses his face. What the hell, is Claudio in the Illuminati? Is the Illuminati in CHIKARA now? Not a lot of time to ponder that now as it was time for the main event.
5) Tyler Black vs. Eddie Kingston (final of Grand Championship tournament) A hard hitting match that saw both men come close to getting the win and becoming the first Grand Championship. In the end it was the leader of BDS, Tyler Black, who got the win after a Phoenix Splash. He grabbed the title and looked at it with a big smile on his face. He pointed to himself as he looked at the crowd as if it say I told you so. He hit the turnbuckle and raised the title over his head to celebrate. Then an unknown entrance music played and he turned to the entrance ramp. Someone in dark clothing but with colorful hair walked out and the crowd went nuts. It was none other than the Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy! We guess this was the "enigma" Ultramantis Black was talking about. Jeff stared down Tyler and made the belt gesture around his waist than pointed at Tyler. The crowd was eating it up as the PPV came to an end.

Rumors and News
- ECW will be adding another single title. It is inspired by the X Division Championship in the small NWA:TNA promotion and will have the same name. The one difference is it is believed the title will be defended in Falls Count Anywhere rules.
- The tag team of The Navajo Nightmare and Missing Link beat LAX in Puerto Rico and a riot almost broke out as the crowd was very upset about how they cheated to get the win. The heels needed a police escort to leave the arena.
ROH
11/2 A Top Prospect Tournament match kicked off the show as Caleb Konley took on Lio Rush. A good match that saw Lio win and move on. It is announced that next weeks Prospect match, the final quarter final match, will be between Marshe Rocket and Ruckus. Then an interview with Silas Young about his attack on Rhino last week. He said he wanted Cedrick last week but S.C.U.M. sent Rhino to face him. So he let them know what he thought about it. After he beat Cedrick a couple weeks ago Cedrick attacked him post match and it pissed him off. He wants Cedrick again and if he does not get a match with him he will make life hell for S.C.U.M. Back to the ring for tag action as MCMG faced off with Backseat Boyz. The Guns had the Boyz on the defense the whole match before finishing them off.
Michael Elgin and Kaz were in the next match. IT was a surprisingly dominating performance by Kaz as he defeated the bigger man. Elgin is on a losing streak. We then see World Champion Kevin Steen in a back hallway getting ready for his title defense in the main event. A large man walks up to him and is identified as Uhaa Nation. Uhaa introduces himself to Kevin and wishes him good luck tonight. Steen is guarded as it seems he is not sure what to make of this. He thanks him and starts to walk off when Uhaa calls out to him and tells Kevin that whoever is the champion after tonight will have to deal with Uhaa soon enough. Then it was main event time as Kevin Steen took on House of Truth member Homicide. This was a real good match that saw Kevin have his hands full and came close to losing the titles a couple times. He finally was able to put Homicide away with a Package Piledriver. After the bell Uhaa Nation came out to the top of the ramp and stared Kevin down.
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: Team S.C.U.M.
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
10/29 The night before the Halloween Havoc PPV kicked off with a hype video and then the opening match of Ted Dibiase against Fritz von Goering. It was a close match early but then Fritz got on a roll and got the win. Ted just looked lost after as he has been losing a lot lately. Next Giant Baba took on Mike Graham. Early on Mike tried a monkey flip to no avail and Baba started to dominate the smaller man. Soon after Mike got in some offense then hit a cross body block and got the upset win.
Next was tag action as King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd against the Samoan Swat Team. Bundy and Studd dominated the match and got the win. In the main event Heenan Family member Cowboy Bob Orton faced former member Don Leo Jonathan. A hard hitting match saw Don Leo get the win. After the match Orton attacked Jonathan. It seems there is still some heat between the Family and Don Leo. At least the Family hates losing to him.
10/30 Halloween Havoc ppv:
1) Killer Bees vs Glam Gods - The Glam Gods came out first and what a way to kick off the ppv. Especially Dalton coming out with his boys and doing his flashy entrance. The match started and B Brian Blair was in trouble early. Jim yelled something to him and both men reached into their trunks, pulled out masks and donned them. Soon after while the ref was distracted Jim got in the ring, rolled Brian out and laid down as if he was Brian. Sneaky and they got away with it. It seemed to help as they started turning things around and eventually the Bees got the win.
2) Steve "Dr Death" Williams vs Blackjack Mulligan (Falls Count Anywhere) - Early on Blackjack was dominating the action. He slapped on the Claw a couple times but Williams was able to get out of it. Soon after the action spilled out side the ring. Mulligan slammed Williams on the announcers table. As he continued to beat on Williams, Steve was able to turn things around and started tossing Blackjack into the railing. They went back in the ring only to go back outside soon enough. Steve set up a few chairs and suplexed Blackjack thru them. He nailed Blackjack with Oklahoma Stampede and almost got the pin on the ramp. Steve tossed Blackjack back in the ring, hit the finisher again and got the pin. Good wild match.
3) The Vachons vs King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd - The Vachons were looking for some final revenge and payback against Heenan's men. It was not to be this night as the larger men were in control from start to finish.
4) Bruiser Brody vs Freddie Blassie (US Title) - Freddie was brought in to be competition for Brody who has been dominating in his title defenses. He was no different than the other opponents Brody has faced as the wild man destroyed Freddie. Who next will try and dethrone Bruiser Brody.
5) Greg Valentine vs Brutus Beefcake - The two former tag team partners were ready to tear into each other. This ended up being a long match but all Greg. Any time Brutus got a bit of offense in Greg quickly retook control. It took awhile but Greg eventually finished him off.
6) Road Warriros vs Midnight Express (Title vs Title) - This was a highly anticipated match. They had meet before and the last time the Warriors surprised the Express and got a quick win. It looked like this would be a repeat as Animal attacked Stan Lane from the bell and almost got a quick pin. Then the Warriors hit the Doomsday Device on Lane but Eaton made the save. They went and hit it again right away but this time Cornette was able to distract the ref to keep his boys from losing. After that Animal beat on Lane some more but he was able to make a desperate tag to Bobby Eaton. That lead to some great back and forth action. At one time the Express hit one of their finishers on Animal but Hawk made the save. Soon after they hit another one and Paul distracted the ref. Later on in the match Cornette tried to interfere and Paul ran other to stop him. James started running and Paul chased him to the back. A couple minutes later Animal was able to get the pin on Lane. The Warriors continue to show they are the best tag team today. They now have both tag titles in GCW. As they were celebrating two large men in black tights and masks with silver highlights ran into the ring and attacked the Warriors. They left the Warriors laid out and slowly made their way to the back. Looks like the Warriors already have new contenders to try and knock them off the top of the mountain.
7) Randy Savage vs Angelo Poffo (World Title) - A solid match that saw Randy pretty much dominate his dad. Lanny made a pin save and tried to interfere but to no avail. In the end Randy hit the Flying Elbow and got the pin. With the ease he and Bruiser Brody won their matches could we see a single title vs title match like we did early for the tag titles?
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Titles: Road Warriors
AWA
11/1 Love Brothers took on newly formed tag team of Marty Jannetty and Bob Roop in the first match. As Marty got out of the ring to stand on the apron the Brothers attacked Bob before the bell. That lead to an easy win as they dominated him and he never got to tag out. We then get an announcement from GM Charlie Cox that in a couple weeks World Champion Buddy Rogers will defend against Frank Gotch. If Gotch does not win he will retire. Does the vet Gotch have one last championship run in him or has his career finally come to an end. Bryan Danielson and Bill Dundee were next. Early in the match Dundee dominated the action. It seemed he was on the way to an easy victory. However Bryan fought back and ended up the one getting the win.
We see the Four Horsemen in back and JJ talks about how they have not been reaching their potential. He turns to face Killer and says some more so than others. Killer looked pissed about this but does not say anything. JJ says he is partly to blame as he has been taking it easy on the group. He will start bring out the best in them. It starts next when Killer Kowalski has a rematch with a man who beat him a few weeks ago, Red Bastien. Then it was time for the match. It seemed that JJ's talk did good because Killer simply dominated the match and destroyed Red for an easy win. Next was a Tag title match as the Tag Team Champions the American Starship defended against The Sheepherders. The teams brawl to start the action. Luke gets tossed outside of the ring and before long Coyote hit Butch with a Heart Punch and pinned him. The American Starship looked impressive in their defense.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: American Starship
ECW
10/31 The show is titled "Horror Show". At the start we see Raven sulking in a dark hallway in the back of the arena. Stevie Richards and Amish Roadkill walk up. Stevie tells Raven that he and Amish had a great idea to which Amish smiles and nods his heads excitingly. Stevie says that there has been a lot of buzz for the Illuminati so the two of them decided they were going to create their own faction, a branch off of Ravens Flock, where they could cause havoc and start controlling thing. The only issue they have no idea what to call their group. He tells Raven they know he is really smart so figured he would have a good idea for a group name. Raven is quiet for a bit and it seemed he was pondering the question. Then he said one word, "Laeviculus". Stevie and Amish just looked at each other with confused looks on their face and Stevie turns back to Raven and asks what does that mean. Raven simply shakes his head and says, "clueless". Stevie goes, "well yea we know we are boss but what does Laeviculus mean?" At this Raven gets up, slaps Stevie and then kicks him in the gut causing Stevie to fall to his knees. Raven turns to Amish who raises his face to the ceiling and starts looking around. Raven just shakes his head and walks off.
First match is Armageddon in a handicap tag team match as he takes on PG-13. He was dominating Ice when Wolfie made the pin save. A couple other times due to casual pin attempts Ice was able to kick out. Soon Wolfie tagged in. The PG-13 got in some double teaming but not nearly enough to make a difference and before long Armageddon got the win. Next he get an announcement of who Taz will defend the World Championship against at next months PPV. Out comes Terry Gordy. Quite the surprise as he has been tearing it up in promotions across the US and Japan. Taz will have his hands full. Next they announce another match for the PPV will be a tag match between The Sheik and Sabu vs Rex Havoc and Michael Kai Rayne. To get ready for it The Sheik and Sabu were in the next match against D'lo Brown and Val Venis. When the latter came down to the ring they kept looking around. Maybe they were worried Armageddon was going to come out and attack them. The Sheik and Sabu dominated D'lo Brown. When he took the pin Val Venis never even tried to save him. After the match Brown looked over at Val who just shrugged his shoulders and left to the back.
The match that followed was Raven against Tommy Dreamer. Raven came down with Tina Moretti, who was hanging all over him, and the Briscoe Brothers. It was a good match that saw Raven pin Tommy. After the match Raven and the Briscoe's attacked Tommy and left him laying on his back. It was main event time as two men who have quite a history, One Man Gang and Super Crazy, battled in a Falls Count Anywhere match. They tore into each other. Most of the action took place outside of the ring. The finish came when Super Crazy put One Man Gang thru a table via a moonsault.
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: VKM TV Title: Al Snow
CHIKARA
10/28 The show kicks off with BDS and Amber in the ring. BDS was celebrating even though they lost their team match at the PPV because their leader Tyler Black won his match to become the first Grand Champion. Amber asked him what was the deal with Claudio Castagnoli and how does that effect die Jager. Tyler says he does not know what Claudio is thinking but he made the biggest mistake of his life by turning his back on BDS. They will take care of him in time. As far as die Jager, Claudio replaced Tim and now Claudio will be replaced. Ares will be teaming with Tursas. At this Sara and Daizee seemed upset. Sara said die Jager has not been able to get the titles back so it is time to let her and Daizee step up and get the job done. Ares started to say something but Tursas held him back and Tyler raised his hand to signal for him to stay back. Tyler said he has other plans for Sara. She will be going after the Young Lions Cup. At this Sara got a smile on her face and said, "ok. that works". Amber than asks about Tyler about the arrival of Jeff Hardy. Tyler laughs a bit then says Jeff has had a good career and been successful where ever he has gone. However that ends here. He will be just like Chris Hero. Brought in to bring down BDS and he will fail as well. BDS is the strongest force in wrestling. If Jeff wants a title shot he will have to earn it. Starting tonight when he has a match with Green Ant in the main event. With that BDS leaves the ring.
First match is Tiger Mask going up against Paul London. A good match between two light heavyweights that sees Paul London come out on top. Next is a match between the recently returned Tim Donst and former BDS teammate Pinkie Sanchez. Good back and forth that saw Tim come out on top. He just stared at Pinkie as he slowly left the match. Who next on BDS will Tim go after?
BDS sent out the new die Jager of Ares and Tursas to take on Hydra and TJ Perkins. In the second straight match for Hydra and Perkins they pulled off a big upset. It came after Perkins hit his finisher on Ares. It was hard to tell who was more surprised, die Jager or Hydra and Perkins. The underdogs have now earned two points and are one win away from earning a Campeonatos de Parejas title shot. Then it was time for the main event as Jeff Hardy had his first match in CHIKARA as he battled Green Ant. The Charismatic Enigma was just too much for the young Green Ant and finished him off via the Swanton. If Jeff has to climb the ladder he just took the first rung with no problem.

Wrestling Wrap-up Weekly - Vol 2, Issue 45 Rumors and News- A mysterious looking man has been spotted backstage at some CHIKARA events. It is said he is dressed like an ancient Egyptian. No word if he walks like one. - Manager Abdullah Farouk has been taking a break that is about to end. Word is he has signed with NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling. ROH11/9 The show starts with the final opening match of the Top Prospect Tournament. Marshe Rockett took on Ruckus. Ruckus started fast but Marshe fought back and picked up the win to move on to the semi finals. Next Austin Ares faced off against Tommaso Ciampa. Tommaso used his brutality to gain an early advantage but Austin used his smarts and ability to fight back. Austin hit a few brainbusters and seemed to have the match finished when he hit the 450 Splash but to everyone's surprise Tommaso kicked out. However Austin did not spend much time pondering that as he went and hit a frog splash and picked up the victory. The next match was tag action between the Motor City Machine Guns and Cedrick Alexander and Rhino. Cedrick slowly walked to the ring and did not seem to want to be there. When it was time to start the match Cedrick and Rhino could not agree on who would start the match. Finally Rhino gives in and Cedrick started. It was not a good idea as the Guns dominated him. Cedrick would not do down easy but after Daniels hit a third Angels Wings the match was over. Cedrick was upset at Rhino for not attempting a pin save and they got in a post match yelling and even a slight shoving match. The main event was newest ROH member Uhaa Nation going up against Adam Page. This was a quick match as Uhaa destroyed Page to pick up the W. World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: Team S.C.U.M. NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling 11/5 The show begins with a clip from Halloween Havoc showing the Road Warriors being attacked after they won their match. The mysterious team is identified as a team from Japan, The Machines. The larger one is Death Machine and the other is Hell's Machine. They make their debut in NWA:GCW next. The Machines take on Samoan Swat Team. The Machines barely worked up a sweat on the way to the win. After the match the Road Warriors were trying to come down and get at The Machines. However there was about a dozen security holding them back. Good thing there was that many as they could barely keep the Warriors back. This looks like it could turn into a great feud. Next match saw Tommy Rich take on Mike Graham. Mike started in control and put up a good fight but in the end Tommy got the win. We then see Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express in their locker room. Jim is talking to them about how The Machines came in and destroyed the Road Warriors after they were unable to beat them. He says the Midnight Express should be double tag champions not the Warriors. The Express are not living up to their potential. However he has figured out how to fix that and get them to dominate. At that in walks Dennis Condrey. Stan Lane walks up to him, looks him over and says "we don't need you. The Express is a two man team, not three". At that Dennis grins and Jim says we agree. After that Bobby hits Stan in the back of the head with a forearm. Then Bobby and Dennis kick Stan some before tossing him out of the locker room. Jim has a big smile and says now the Midnight Express is better and soon will dominate the tag division. Don Leo Jonathan and Angelo Poffo were next in a match up of former Heenan Family members. Don Leo was in control early and seemed to be on way to a quick win but Angelo's son Lanny interfered to extend the match. In the end it was just putting off the inevitable as Don Leo got the win. In the main event it was Bruiser Brody defending the US Title against Steve Williams. Steve jumped on Bruiser early but the wild man quickly turned it around and picked up a rather easy win. After the match Bobby gets on the mic and talks about how Bruiser has taken care of everyone that has been put in front of him. Be it "Dr Death", twice, or at Havoc when Freddie Blassie was brought in to dethrone him. There is no one left to defend against so it is time Bruiser moved up and got a shot at...he is cut off by music hitting and then the crowd popping as Tony Atlas came out and stood at top of the ramp. Tony then walked down to the ring and got in. He pointed at the US Title and then made the belt hand gesture around his waist. Both men stared at each other as the show ended. World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Road Warriors AWA11/8 We start the show with a clip from something that happened last week but did not make the show. We see Jimmy Valiant in the locker room and his brother Johnny walk up. Johnny says it has been fun teaming with Jimmy again but the team just has not worked as they have lost more than win. He thinks it is time to move on and him might get back into managing. Jimmy looks at him and seems to be deep in thought then gets up and stands right in front of his brother. He says "so that is what you want huh. To split the team up and have us go our own way?" and Johnny says yea. Jimmy takes a deep breath and then smiles and hugs his brother. Jimmy wishes his brother the best and says he will give single action a chance and see if he can do better at that. The first match is a tag rematch as Love Brothers take on Marty Jannetty and Bob Roop. This match went a bit better for Marty and Bob but ended in another loss as Marty got tossed from the ring and could not make the 10 count. Your winners by count out the Love Brothers. Next is Jimmy Valiant in his first single match in awhile as he took on Buddy Rose. Single action went about as good as his tag ones lately as Buddy got the win. More tag action was next as the Hit Squad faced the Hamilton Wrecking Crew. JJ Dillon was in his men's faces before the match telling them they had to win because they are Horsemen. The match did not start off good for them as the Hit Squad controlled the action and used frequent tags to keep that control. The turning point came when Magnum T.A. went to jump off the turnbuckle and John hit him with a dropkick. After that the HWC worked Magnum over and finally put him away. Then it was time for the main event as JJ brought one of his other men to the ring when Killer Kowalski faced Nick Bockwinkel. Killer was looking to avenge a recent loss to Nick. He was on the way to that till he charged at Nick in the corner and Nick moved. After a pin attempt Nick slapped on the Sleeper and Killer could not get out. JJ was not happy with Killer after another loss. World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: American Starship ECW11/7 The show begins with a match between Super Crazy and Mr Y. Surprisingly Mr Y got in a bit of offense but soon after Super Crazy took control of things and got the win. After we see Jon Moxley bust into the exec's office and he demanded a World title match. He says he has beat everyone put in front of him while not getting one yet Terry Gordy walks in and gets a title shot. At that we hear laughing and Jon turns around as the camera pans to see sitting in a chair Terry Gordy. Terry stands up and says he actually agrees with Jon. He tells the exec the title match at the PPV should be a Triple Threat match. The exec thinks about it for a bit then agrees. Looks like we have a great main event for the PPV later this month. Jon looks back and forth between Terry and the exec for a few times then he gets a big smile and tells them they are looking at the next World Champion. Back to the ring as Michael Kai Rayne took on Rich Swann. It was a good match that went back and forth. The turning point came when Rich was running the ropes and the Dark Menace used his cane to trip Rich. Soon after Michael got the win. Next match was The Shard against The Patriot. This was a one sided affair as The Shard dominated the action. Then it was the main event as the Voodoo Kill Mafia put the Tag Team belts on the line against the Mongols. The VKM had little trouble as they picked up the win. World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: VKM TV Title: Al Snow CHIKARA11/4 The opening match is Tiger Mask vs. Sara Del Rey. In quite the surprise Del Rey dominated things and picked up an easy win. It seems Tyler Black knew what he was doing when he said he would send her after Prince Puma and the Young Lions Cup. The following match was between Jigsaw and Leva Bates. They seemed to have a bit of heat after the Cibernetico PPV match. Match went back and forth for a couple minutes. Then Jigsaw hits Jig-n-Tonic but Leva kicked out. Jigsaw did not waste any time and went and hit a second one. She was not able to kick out and Jigsaw got the win. They shook hands after but not with much enthusiasm. Tag action was next as The Throwbacks took on Incoherence. Dasher Hatfield was in trouble early. He kept kicking out. That was important as The Throwbacks were able to fight back and get the win. This gives them two points since their last unsuccessful title shot. One more win and they can get another title shot. In the main event Ultramantis Black took on Delirious. Before the match started Ultramantis tried talking to Delirious. He seemed to want to get Delirious back to his side and apologized for what he did in the past. It seemed Delirious was thinking about giving in but he soon attacked Ultramantis. The match was back and forth and ended when Delirious his Red Poison in front of the ref causing the ref to DQ him. Winner by DQ was Ulatramantis Black but someone would have to let him know a bit after the match as he was in pain and busy trying to clean his eyes. Before show ends it is announced that next weeks main event will be Jeff Hardy against Pinkie Sanchez.

That has happened at least twice since starting this thread. Has anyone else been typing things up to only have it glitch and lose stuff? First time awhile back was my fault if I recall right but last night not sure what happened. Oh well it is done and on to rolling the next set of matches

Rumors and News
- It is all but official, NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling will be leaving NWA at the end of the year. For awhile it looked like their new name would be World Championship Wrestling but they decided it would make sense to keep the GCW branding so instead their new name will be Global Championship Wrestling to show their global reach.
- Speaking of NWA:GCW, Cowboy Bob Orton is going to be in a new ad campaign for Big Sky Chewing tobacco.
ROH
11/16 Opening match was Moose against El Generico. Generico used quickness to keep Moose off balance. The win came via a Brainbustaaahhh. Moose was shocked he lost to the smaller opponent. Tag action was next as Bullet Club battled Forever Hooligans. The Club used their strength and size advantage to destroy Koslov. Romero never got to tag in. After the match Romero came in and looked like he was going to attack the Club but after thinking about the size disadvantage he was in he instead just checked on his partner.
Uhaa Nation and Kaz were in the following match. Kaz made things a bit difficult for Uhaa but Uhaa was never in any danger before he picked up the win. In the main event the Motor City Machine Guns challenged Team S.C.U.M. for the Tag Titles. Sabin took it to Steve to start the match. A quick pin attempt that was unsuccessful. A tag to Danielson and after some offense he hit an Angels Wings on Corino. Jimmy made the save. After a bit Corino was able to tag out and Jimmy got offense in. However the Guns took control again and after another Angels Wings the Guns were new Tag Champions. Team S.C.U.M.'s title reign ended a bit after 3 months. It also ended S.C.U.M. holding all the gold in ROH. How will they react to this set back?
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: Motor City Machine Guns
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
11/12 The show starts with announcement that the main event will be a US Tag Title match as the champions, Road Warriors, will face The Machines. Will the Warriors finally face a challenge they can not pass or will they get some revenge against The Machines? Speaking of tag action the first match was the new look Midnight Express against The Kangaroos. The Express looked like a well oiled machine as they had little trouble with the boys from down under. Next Freddie Blassie and the Masked Superstar were in action. The Superstar put up a good fight for awhile but eventually Freddie wore him down and got the win. We get a clip from end of last weeks show with Tony Atlas confronting Bruiser Brody. It is announced that Tony will make his in ring debut to NWA:GCW next week.
In the following match Giant Baba battled Hillbilly Jim. It was a rare time Jim faced a larger opponent. Both men slugged it out and in the end Baba came out on top. Then it was the main event as Road Warriors fought The Machines. Both teams slugged it out before the bell. It took a few minutes for the ref to restore order. Once the match started The Machines controlled the action and were beating down Animal. Death Machine tossed Animal out of the ring and followed him resulting in both men brawling. This allowed Animal to regain control. A short time after the Warriors picked up a surprising quick win via pin of Death Machine. The result did not stop both teams from brawling post match as the show went off the air. It seems this feud is just heating up.
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Road Warriors
AWA
11/15 The show starts with new comer Dutch Savage going up against Owen Hart. Savage looked good but in the end Owen Hart was too much and got the win. There is than an announcement that AWA will have a PPV a week from Sunday. The main focus will be a tournament to crown the first American Heavyweight Champion. The eight men in the tournament will be Killer Kowalski, Bryan Danielson, Bill Dundee, Buddy Rose, Dutch Savage, Nick Bockwinkel, Bobby Shane and Red Bastien. The main event of the PPV will be World Champion defending against Frank Gotch in a title vs. career match. If Gotch loses he will retire. Next is match that might be a preview from the PPV as Red Bastien took on Bill Dundee. A solid match that went back and forth till Red picked up the win.
Tag match was next as Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff battled The Empire. Sheik and Volkoff had The Empire in trouble for most of the match till the action spilled outside of the ring. Iron Sheik went a bit to far with his beat down of Finley and ended up getting his team disqualified. The main event was a hot match between Harley Race and Buddy Rose. Buddy had been trying to make a go of it as a single wrestler and been doing a good job against lesser talent but got dominated in his World Title match a few weeks ago. It seemed he would be outmatched in this one too but he put up a great fight. The action went back and forth with both men coming close to getting a pin but not being able to put their opponent away. Eventually time ran out and the match ended in a Time Limit Draw. The crowd chanted "5 more minutes" but it was not to be this night. It is very likely these two men will see each other again real soon.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: American Starship
ECW
11/14 The show beings with info on Sunday's PPV November To Remember. There will be 2 matches to qualify for the X Division tournament. Two of the men in the qualifying matches are not currently in ECW and get short promos. One is high flyer AR Fox and the other is one of the hottest names on the indy circuit, Joey Ryan. It also announced that tonight we will have #1 contender matches for both the Tag titles and the TV Title. Then we see Raven, Stevie Richards, Briscoe Brothers and Amish Roadkill in back. Raven is talking about how tonight is a big night for them. He will become the top contender for the TV Title and will go on to win it at November To Remember. The Briscoe's will do the same for the Tag titles. And Stevie has a match with Tommy Dreamer and can continue to make him suffer. Stevie gets up and tells Raven not to worry about anything, Laeviculus is pulling strings behind the scenes and has Raven's back. Amish Roadkill gets behind Stevie and nods his head with a big grin on his face. Raven looks at them both and then grabs Stevie by the throat and tells him he better not screw things up for the Flock.
To the ring for the opening match as occasional tag partners and friends, Jerry Lynn and Colt Cabana, were in action. Jerry Lynn took it too his friend and ended up with a shocking quick win. Next was #1 contender match for the Tag Championship as the Briscoe Brothers faced off against Sweet-n-Sour Inc., Larry Sweeney and Armageddon. It would be interesting to see how the Brothers dealt with the large Armageddon. As it turned out they did not have to worry about him. Larry started the match and was in control for a bit before the Brothers turned things around. Once they were in control they used frequent tags and finished Larry off with a double shoulder tackle to get the win and the title shot at the PPV. After the match Larry was yelling at Armageddon for not stopping the pin and costing them the match.
Tommy Dreamer vs. Stevie Richards was next. It was a back and forth match early on. The turning point came when Stevie tossed Tommy out of the ring and Amish Roadkill attacked Tommy. Soon after thanks to a Stevie Kick Richards picked up the win. Then the main event which was a #1 contender match for the TV Title between Raven and RVD. A brutal hard hitting match. RVD seemed to have Raven in trouble. He went for a pin where Stevie tried to make the save that ended with Stevie taking a foot to the face that knocked him off the apron. Soon after RVD rolled out of the ring to get a chair. At first this was to his advantage. However later RVD went to the top turnbuckle and when he jumped off Raven used the same chair to hit him. This put Raven back in control. Soon after he hit his Raven Effect DDT onto that chair and that was it as Raven got the pin and title shot at November To Remember.
November To Remember card:
Taz vs. Terry Gordy vs. Jon Moxley (Triple Threat Title match) VKM vs. Briscoe Brothers (Title match) Al Snow vs. Raven (Title match) Sabu & The Sheik vs. Rex Havoc & Michael Kai Rayne Two X Division Tournament qualifying matches involving AR Fox and Joey Ryan
World Champion: Taz Tag Team Champions: VKM TV Title: Al Snow
CHIKARA
11/11 The show starts with a match between Zach Sabre Jr and Shane Storm. Storm caught Zach off guard and kept his foot on the gas and ended up with a quick win. After the bell Shane was celebrating like he just won a title. We then see Ultramantis Black in back reading a note. Incoherence walk up and ask their leader what the note is about. Ultramantis said it was from Claudio Castagnoli and it said he has something Ultramantis wants and Claudio wants to meet to give it to him. Frightmare asks what it could be and Ultramantis said he has no idea but guess there is just one way to find out. Back to the ring as Eddie Kingston battled Crossbones. A short match that saw Eddie come out on top.
Then tag action as Hydra and TJ Perkins were looking for their third point as they faced The Colony. Based on how both teams had been faring it would seem the young upstarts might just earn that third point but the vets were not having it as The Colony picked up the win. Looks like Hydra and Perkins will have to start from scratch again. Then it is the main event as Jeff Hardy and Pinkie Sanchez squared off. This was a good fight as Pinkie gave Jeff all he could handle. However in the end Jeff showed why has been world champion before as he finally put Pinkie away and get one step closer to a title match with Tyler Black.

11/23 There is an announcement to being the show that there will be a tournament to crown the first World TV champion starting next year. Also the winner of the Top Prospect tournament will be the first one entered into the World TV tournament. Then it is to the ring for the first semi final match in the Top Prospect tournament between Tommy End and Marshe Rocket. Tommy simply dominated his opponent on the way to an easy win and a place in the finals of the tournament. Next was a rematch between Kaz and Michael Elgin. In their previous match Kaz dominated his larger foe and this match started the same way. For some reason he did not make a pin attempt as it seemed he was focusing on wearing Elgin down. This turned out to be his downfall as Elgin made a comeback and hit a charging lariat for the win.
Tag action was next on the card as Bullet Club tangled with Backseat Boyz. Over last few months the Boyz has had some surprising success against larger teams and their sole lose was against former champions Team S.C.U.M. when the belts were on the line. This match kept that streak going as they got a quick win. BC was not happy about this. Then it was main event time as Donovan Dijak faced off against El Generico in a #1 contender match. After a bit of back and forth Generico started to get on a roll. It looked like he had the win but Martini saved his man. However a short time later and Generico hit the Brainbustaaahhh and got the 3 count. He will be getting a shot at World Champion Keven Steen some time soon.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
11/19 The opening match was Giant Baba vs. Jimmy Snuka. A solid match that saw Baba come out on top. Then we see a promo from Abdullah Farouk. He says things are about to change in NWA:GCW and he starts the shake up next week. Next Tommy Rich and Hacksaw Jim Duggan square off. The first few minutes is a lot of back and forth as neither man could get much momentum. Rich turned things around with a vicious uppercut and soon after got the win.
Glam Gods and The Russian Bears were in tag action next. A short match that saw the Gods win without Dalton Castle even tagging in. He was a bit upset about that even though his team did win. In the main event Tony Atlas made his debut against Fritz von Goering. Tony was in trouble early as it seemed he was still getting rid of some ring rust. He is a vet though that knows how to deal with troubles and he fought back and eventually got the win. How long before he gets a title shot against Bruiser Brody?
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Road Warriors
AWA
11/22 Killer Kowalski and Bill Dundee kicked off the show. Kowalski dominated the action and got an easy win. JJ Dillon was very happy after. He told Kowalski that is how you handle business. Kowalski smiled and walked off with JJ. Next we had more Horsemen in action as the Hamilton Wrecking Crew took on Marty Jannetty and Bob Roop. This ended up being a major upset as the newly formed team picked up their first victory at the expense of the vets via Rocker Dropper. As happy as JJ was after the first match he was just upset after this one. He berated the HWC as they headed to the back.
Bryan Danielson and Bobby Shane tangled next in a match that pretty much went Bryan's way as he picked up the victory. He has momentum going into the American Heavyweight tournament at the ppv. The main event was a title match for the Tag Team Championship as the defending champions American Starship took on Hit Squad. Thanks to Bret Hart the Hit Squad had American Starship in trouble early. However the champs fought back and seemed they would be successful in defending their titles. In the end Hart caught Eagle in the Sharpshooter and Magnum kept Coyote from making the save resulting in new champions. This is the Hit Squad's first run with the belts but it is Bret Hart's third time.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: Hit Squad
ECW
11/20 November To Remember ppv:
Before the action starts we get a promo from Taz and Bill Alfonso. Taz is looking down and has a towel over his head. Bill talks about how there is a conspiracy in ECW against Taz. First they give him one opponent that just waltzes into ECW and gets the title shot. Then they add a second opponent and now Taz could lose the title without even being pinned. TO make it worse they kept them from talking about it. Now they are taking the time. He says Taz has beat everyone put in front of him and will do the same tonight. At this Taz finally speaks. He gives his famous tag line. "Beat me if you can", slowly raises his head and looks into the camera with an angry look on his face and finishes with "survive...if I LET YOU!!!"
The announcers then say it is time for action as we kick things off with an X Division qualifying match between two exciting young stars.
1) Joey Ryan vs. Matt Cross (X Division qualifying) The match started off in the ring but before long the action spilled outside of it. Ryan was in control and made a couple pin attempts with no success. Then Matt turned things around. He pulled a ladder from under the ring, climbed it and hit Death From Above for the win.
2) Voodoo Kill Mafia vs. Briscoe Brothers (Tag Team title match) A hard hitting affair that saw VKM in control for most of the match and eventually come out on top to defend their titles. After the bell the Brothers tried attacking VKM but the champs just got out of the ring. As the Briscoe's stood in the ring motioning for VKM to get back in two men wearing hoodies and bandanas over this faces jumped in from the crowd, got in the ring and attacked the Briscoes from behind. After laying them out the mystery men pulled back their hoods and removed the bandanas. It was Konnan and Hernandez known collectively as LAX. It seems there is some new competition in the ECW tag ranks.
3) The Shard vs. AR Fox (X Division qualifier) A solid match between two high flyers that ended with The Shard coming out on top.
4) Stevie Richards vs. Tommy Dreamer - Tommy was looking for some payback from his recent loss to Stevie. That match went back and forth pretty evenly and soon it looked like Tommy might get that payback till he tossed Stevie out of the ring. When he went out after Stevie he ended up taking a chair to the back from Amish Roadkill. That turned the match around and soon after Stevie got the win.
5) Al Snow vs. Raven (TV title match) A grueling match that saw Snow use his mannequin head to give numerous head butts to Raven. Raven in return used a chair a couple times. In the end Al hit the Snow Plow and Raven kicked out to the shock of Al. Al quickly hit another one and that was enough to pin Raven and retain his title.
6) Sabu & The Sheik vs. Rex Havoc & Michael Kai Rayne - This was a brutal war between two teams that do not like each other. Havoc and Rayne were trying to do their managers bidding by inflicting as much pain as possible on The Sheik. In the end Dark Menace's men got the win. They were not satisfied with that as they continued to attack The Sheik after the match. Sabu rolled out of the ring to get a chair and seemed to have the upper hand against their adversaries. However two men and even a woman came running down from the back to join the action. Turns out they were helping Dark Menace's men as they jumped Sabu. The numbers game was too much for Sabu and The Sheik and at the end they were laid out. The two men were identified as Benett Cole and Ricky Reynolds. The woman is Laura Phoenix. They joined Havoc and Rayne in the ring standing over the two laid out men as Dark Menace looked on from ring side with a large smile on his face. It seems the Dark Menace has assembled quite the force.
7) Taz vs. Terry Gordy vs. Jon Moxley (Triple Threat title match) All three men tore into each other as soon as the bell rang. Early on Taz was knocked out of the ring and Gordy and Moxley traded pin attempts. Soon Taz recovered and was back in the action. Taz and Gordy were using their power advantage while Mokley was using his reckless style. A bit later Moxley got tossed out of the ring and Taz and Gordy went at it. Taz started wearing the larger man down and seemed he was on the way to a win. Then The Destroyer ran in and attacked Taz, laying him out. He looked over at Gordy and nodded his head and pointed at Taz before leaving and heading to the back. This was so different than what we have seen in the past when The Destroyer would run in and help Taz. Did this mean Gordy was part of the Illuminati? Gordy started working over Taz but before he could get a pin Jon Moxley made a recovery and attacked Gordy. All three men went at it again for a bit before Taz, thanks to some double teaming, found himself laying on the floor ring side trying to recover. Moxley and Gordy traded some moves before both men fell to their knees from exhaustion. As they tried to recover VKM ran down with some chairs and got in the ring. They stood one on each side of the two men in the match looking at both. Then Kip handed a chair to Gordy and both Kip and BG raised the chair in their hands as it looked like they were getting ready to hit Jon. Slowly Jon and Terry got up to their feet. Gordy raised his arms as he got ready to hit Jon with the chair. Jon held his hands up in a stopping motion. Gordy waited and that was a mistake. As he did Jon moved his hands to above his head and made the pyramid hand gesture of the Illuminati. At that both members of the VKM drove the top of their chairs into the sides of Gordy causing him to drop his chair and buckle in pain. Jon picked up the chair, smacked Gordy over the back with it and laid it down on the mat before hitting his finisher on Gordy. Three hand slaps by the ref later and we had a new World Champion. The rest of Illuminati come down to the ring to celebrate with their newest member.
11/21 Show starts in back as the Illuminati are celebrating as they have all the ECW gold. Then we hear that Joey Ryan wants a rematch with Matt Cross so that will be the opening match. The young stars went at it and the result was the same, Matt Cross gaining the win. Next LAX makes their ECW debut as they took on the team they attacked at the ppv. It was a good match that saw both teams in control at different times. In the end The Brothers got some revenge as they ruined LAX's debut by defeating them. However things do not seem done between them as both teams had a wild brawl after that saw security try and break up it up resulting in a few of them being knocked around for their effort.
We then see some pictures and short video clips from the main event at November To Remember. Then a live clip from Taz saying he wants a rematch for his title but before that he wants that outsider Terry Gordy in a one on one match. An official announces that that will be the main event. next is a match between Tommy Dreamer and Amish Roadkill. Dreamer is mad about what happened Sunday and wants to make Roadkill pay. However his bad luck continues as Amish Roadkill got the win. After Stevie Richards gets in the ring with a mic and says "we are Laeviculus and soon we will rule ECW". The crowd laughs and Stevie and Amish seem confused. Then it is the main event between Taz and Terry Gordy. It was a hard hitting match between two men that feel like they were screwed out of the world title and while they want to get their hands on Jon and those responsible for now the man in the ring with them will do as they too were part of the problem. In the end Taz put Terry away with a Tazplex. He got up after and made the belt motion around his waist as the show ends.
CHIKARA
11/18 The show starts with talk of the main event as Prince Puma will defend the Young Lions Cup against BDS member Sara Del Rey. Then to the ring for the opening match as Brodie Lee takes on Chris Hero. Hero controls the action from the start. As the match goes on he keeps trying to finish Lee off but can not and he starts getting frustrated. He starts messing with his elbow pad and it is suggested he might be trying to load it. The time it takes him to do that lets Lee recover and then he takes control and gets the win via a Big Boot. Next is tag action as die Jager faces The Throwbacks. The Throwbacks dominate the action early and seem on their way to earning their third point. Green Ant comes down and tried to interfere for his men but Tim Donst runs down and chases him off. Soon die Jager start getting some offense in and it leads to a great match. In the end die Jager hit their finisher and get the win.
We see video of a dark alley and standing waiting in it is Ultramantis Black. Soon he is joined by Claudio Castagnoli. Black says he meet him now what does he want. Claudio says it is not what he wants but what Black wants. With that he reachs into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small black bag. He reaches into the back and pulls something out. It is the Eye of Tyr. Claudio says Tyler Black and the BDS will be mad when they realize it is missing but he does not care. He puts it back in the bag, tosses it to Ultramantis and tells him to use it wisely this time. Then back to the ring for a match between Jeff Hardy and Johnny Gargano. Jeff cruised to the win only being in a tiny bit of trouble early but nothing to worry about. He has been impressive since arriving in CHIKARA. Then it is the main event. Prince Puma defending against Sara Del Rey. Prince looked like a true champion early as he dominated the action and had Sara in big trouble. However he showed he is still young as he went to hit the 630 Senton and missed. After that Sara got on the offense and kept going at Puma. After hitting her finisher four times she was finally able to get the pin. History was made as CHIKARA had it's first female champion. Prince Puma looked dejected after but he got his emotions in control long enough to stand up and shake Sara's hand. So now BDS has 2 of the 3 titles. How long before they have it all?

ROH
11/30 Show starts with Bullet Club tag team walking in back and they hear laughing. They turn and see Generation Next tag team. Generation Next talk smack about how the Club lost to the Backseat Boyz. The Club say if they think it is so easy to beat the Boyz why don't they try it. Generation Next try and blow them off but the Club keeps on it and finally Generation Next says they will face, and beat, the Backseat Boyz.
The first match is the final semi final match in the Top Prospect tournament as Drew Gulak took on Lio Rush. In a shock Lio dominated the action and picked up the win. So the first match for the Final Battle PPV is set as the final of the Top Prospect tournament will be between Tommy End and Lio Rush. Next Cedrick Alexander comes out with a mic. He says he is done with S.C.U.M. He said he joined them because he thought things would be different and he would get to showcase his ability in single matches but he was forced into tag matches. Now he is out on his own and he has an open challenge for a singles match. He stands there waiting for a bit then the intro music for AJ Styles hits and he comes out. As he makes his way to the ring Cedrick does not seem happy. Guess he was hoping for an easier opponent to start things out. As it was he controlled things early on. It seemed like AJ was in trouble but he slowly started fighting back. He worked on Cedrick's leg as he went to the Calf Killer numerous times and eventually got Cedrick to tap to it.
Next was the tag match between Generation Next and Backseat Boyz. The Boyz were in charge early than Generation Next was in charge as the match went back and forth. It ended when Acid hit Sydal with a superkick and got the pin. Generation Next could not believe it. You just know the Bullet Club will give them hell about this. Then it was time for the main event as Uhaa Nation took on S.C.U.M. member Matt Hardy. Matt put up a good fight but in the end Uhaa was too much for him. After Matt lost the rest of his stable mates ran down and attacked Uhaa and left him laid out.

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
11/26 Show starts with Poffo Power standing in the ring. Then Abdullah Farouk comes out. He says he told us he would be shaking things up and it starts right now. He waves to the back and his tag team comes out. A team many fans know, the father and son duo of Larry and Curt Henning. So we would have a generations tag match between two father and son teams. The sons Curt and Lanny started. The Hennings made frequent tags and squashed Lanny on the way to a win in their debut. Tommy Rich and Greg Valentine squared off next. Tommy controlled most of the match and got the win.
Next match was Tony Atlas taking on Freddie Blassie. It started with good back and forth action but eventually Tony got on a roll and picked up the win. The main event was a tag match for the Tag Team Championship as the champs the Road Warriors faced Glam Gods. The Gods started by working over Hawk and seemed to have him in trouble. But he made the hot tag to Animal and before the Gods knew what happened the Warriors hit the Doomsday Device on Castle and got the win. George has started to come in to make a save attempt but saw Animal between him and his partner and decided to go back to the apron. After the match The Machines ran down and started fighting with the Road Warriors. It was an even fight then after a couple minutes the Midnight Express came down to also attack the Warriors and soon the numbers game was too much for the duel tag champs and they were beat down.

11/27 American Made ppv:
1) Red Bastien vs. Dutch Savage in tournament opening match. Red seemed on the way to the win but Dutch had other ideas and pulled out the victory to move on.
2) Bryan Danielson vs. Buddy Rose in tournament opening match. Bryan dominated almost all of the match but Rose fought back and got the win.
3) Nick Bockwinkel vs. Bill Dundee in tournament opening match. Bill was outmatched in this one and Nick got an easy win.
4) Killer Kowalski vs. Bobby Shane in tournament opening match. The Horsemen member dominated the match to move to the semi finals.
5) Nick Bockwinkel vs. Buddy Rose in semi final match. Nick did not want to waste to much energy and he quickly slapped on a sleeper and won with out much effort. Buddy could not believe it after as he was eliminated from the tournament.
6) Killer Kowalski vs. Dutch Savage in semi final match. Dutch put up a fight but Killer won to move on to the finals. So the finals will be between two men, Kowalski and Bockwinkel, who have had some great matches this year.
7) Buddy Rogers vs. Frank Gotch (Title match, Gotch wins or retires) The first fall went back and forth for quite awhile and ended with Gotch getting the pin. He was one fall away from becoming the World Champion again and keeping his career going. The second fall started with Buddy going at Frank very aggressively. Frank weathered the storm and got some offense going. However Buddy would not be denied and got the pin to even things at one fall apiece. The third fall had some good back and forth till Buddy slapped on the Figure Four and Frank tried to hold out and grab the rope but could not and gave in. Thus just like that Buddy retained two falls to one and Frank Gotch's career was over. The crowd gave him a standing ovation.
8) Killer Kowalski vs. Nick Bockwinkel in final of tournament. These two men do not like each other and it was obvious from how they went at each other. Nick seemed on the verge of winning but JJ distracted the ref. Killer got going and ended up getting the pin to become the first American Heavyweight Champion. He and JJ were celebrating as the PPV ended.
11/29 The show starts with a nice tribute to Frank Gotch who, due to his loss at American Made, is retiring. The opening match was a rematch from the PPV as Red Bastien wanted to take on Dutch Savage again. This match did not go any better for Red as Dutch dominated him for most of it. When Red finally got some offense going he ended up tossing Dutch out of the ring and kept attacking him. Even when the ref told him numerous times to stop and get back in the ring. Since Red did not listen the ref disqualified him. Winner via DQ, Dutch Savage. After the match we see the Four Horsemen in back celebrating. Buddy is the World Champion and Killer is the American Heavyweight Champion. JJ tells the Hamilton Wrecking Crew it is time for them to step up. They need to start winning and get gold around their waist again as it's been over half a year since they were champs. Speaking of tag action the next match was Love Brothers taking on Marty Jannetty and Bob Roop. Marty and Bob, who beat the HWC last week has lost twice to the Love Brothers. Well make that three times as they lost again.
Yet another rematch of a recent match as Harley Race took on Buddy Rose. The last time they squared off it went to a time limit draw. This was a brutal match that looked like it would end in a draw again. However Rose was able to pull out the win before time expired. After both men laid there for a bit as they were simply spent. How will Race respond to this upset loss? The main event was between former Tag Team Champions American Starship and HWC. Hard hitting back and forth that saw American Starship get the win. After the match JJ gets in the ring and starts berating them. They take it for awhile but clearly were getting mad. Finally they had enough and start yelling at him. As they do they do not notice Buddy Rogers and Killer Kowalski come down to ring side with chairs. Buddy and Killer slip in the ring and lay out the brothers with chair shots. After a few more chair shots as the brothers lay on the mat JJ gets on the mic and tells them "consider this your pink slip, you're out of the Horsemen".
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: Hit Squad American Heavyweight Champion: Killer Kowalski
ECW
11/28 The Illuminati in back starts the show. They are talking about how they run the place since they have all the gold. The Destroyer says he told us that he was not working with Taz months ago but simply wanted to see him keep the title as it was what was best. Now we all see what he meant as they were bidding their time to their man could get the gold for the group. Jon raises the title over his head and gets a big smile on his face. We then see Tommy Dreamer walking the halls in back looking for Stevie Richards and Amish Roadkill. He is mad and is asking everyone he sees if they have seen them. He hears laughing and turns to see Raven and Tina Moretti. They walk up to Tommy, Raven looks him up and down then Raven laughs before he and Tina walk off.
First match was Rich Swann vs. AR Fox. This was an intense match that saw Fox come out with the win. Next we see Necro Butcher taking on The Patriot. A solid match with The Patriot coming out on top. Then there is a promo. It shows people rioting, cars on fire and people throwing bricks into windows. Then a black screen with the words 'Crime and uncivilized people are ruining the country...and ECW'. More clips of rioting then police in full riot gear, police on horses and police spraying pepper spray. Another black screen with the words 'Law and order is coming to ECW...soon'.
Sabu took on Dark Menace's newest wrestler Rocky Reynolds. Dark Menace tried to help his man but to no avail as Sabu came out on top. The rest of Dark Menace's men ran down but Sabu took off thru the crowd as he realized he was way out numbered. The Dark Menace got in the ring with a mic. He said Sabu, and for that matter The Sheik, can run but they can not hide. These five men and woman are his team. They are the Dark Menace Forces. They will destroy The Sheik and Sabu. Main event was a rematch between two teams who hate each other, LAX and Briscoe Brothers. A tough match that saw Hernandez hit Crackerjack on Mark for the win. Security ran in right after the bell to keep the teams from brawling.
World Champion: Jon Moxley Tag Team Champions: VKM TV Title: Al Snow
CHIKARA
11/25 We see BDS minus Tyler Black in back as the show kicks off. They are celebrating Sara Del Rey as the Young Lions Cup champion. Daizee Haze is not smiling and Delirious is off in the corner walking around and looking up in different directions. Then Tyler walks in and he is in a bad mood. He says the Eye of Tyr has been stolen by that traitor Claudio. He says the BDS has two important missions. One is get the Eye back and the other is to make Claudio pay.
To the ring for the first match as Tim Donst takes on Green Ant. Tim is surprised to hear a loud cheer for him when he comes out. He takes it too Green and makes short work of the BDS member. After the match Pinkie Sanchez comes down to try and get at Tim but Tim rolls out and heads to the back celebrating his win. Next is Leva Bates against Daizee Haze. Leva came out on top. This pissed Daizee off who attacked Leva after. Based on what Tyler said earlier and the first two matches things are not going good for BDS. die Jager has a chance to turn things around next as they try and earn their 2nd point.
die Jager and The Colony were in the next match. The Colony were on fire using frequent tags and they ended up with the win. die Jager was upset and ended up brawling with The Colony after the match before officials came down to break things up. The main event was Delirious taking on Hallowicked. A real good match that saw BDS finally get a win as Delirious came out on top. After the final bell Delirious was choking Hallowicked. Ultramantis Black comes down to ring side. He reaches into his vest and pulls out a small black bag, the one Claudio gave him last week. He reaches in the bag and pulls out the Eye of Tyr. He holds it up and says something. Suddenly Delirious stops choking Hallowicked and backs away from him as if he was shocked by what he was doing. He looks around the arena as if he did not know where he was and starts rubbing his forehead. It seems he has been freed from the spell the Eye had him in. He looks at Hallowicked then at Ultramantis Black before finally running off to the back.

ROH
12/7 The opening match is a rematch, the third meeting between these two as it was, between Kaz and Michael Elgin. Elgin started on offense to begin but did not have much after that. Kaz really took it to him and got the win. Next we see Cedrick Alexander in back complaining about how he was caught off by AJ Styles. He wants a match but with someone he picks so he is not caught off guard. He is told he has a match but while he does not get to pick his opponent he knows him and will know ahead of time. It is Silas Young. Cedrick stands there with shocked and scared look on his face. Back to the ring as Moose and Adam Page battle. Moose used his strength early but Page fought back and got a bit of an upset win.
Silas Young has wanted to get his hands on Cedrick Alexander since after their match a few weeks back Alexander shook his hand but then attacked him. Tonight he got that. It was a back and forth match till Alexander threw Silas out of the ring and went after him. Silas beat him down, tossed him back in the ring and hit Pee Wee Waja Plunge for the win. Silas then grabbed Alexanders hand as he still laid on the mat and forced him to shake his. Cedrick got up and started fighting with Silas before they were separated. Then it was the main event as Bullet Club faced off with Generation Next in tag action. The Club brutalized Sydal and ended up with the win.

12/3 Midnight Express and the Killer Bees kicked off the show. B. Brian Blair was in trouble early on. He was able to tag out but the Bees made a mistake and tagged Blair in again too soon. That ended with the Express putting him away to get the win. Next was a match between Ted Dibiase and Steve Williams. On the way to the ring Ted was stopped by interviewer and asked his feelings about being on a losing streak and falling far from when he was the World Champion to start the year. That seemed to piss him off as he charged the ring and started brawling with Steve. Ted dominated the match and got the win. Could this new anger push him back to the top?
New tag team Larry and Curt Henning took on The Kangaroos in the next match. The Hennings were in control early but the team from Down Under was able to fight back and get the win. Then it was the main event as Randy Savage faced Tommy Rich. The World Champion took it to the challenger from the opening bell, hitting his finisher the Flying Elbow early but it was not enough to put Tommy away. The champ continued to dominate the action and finally after a couple more Flying Elbow's was able to get the pin.
Starrcade II (card so far)
Road Warriors vs. The Machines (Tag Team Champions match)

AWA
12/6 As the show starts we see the Four Horsemen, well what remains of them, in the back talking. JJ Dillon, Buddy Rogers and Killer Kowalski are talking about what happened last week. How the Tolos brothers were not really Horsemen material and had to be let go. They now have two men who are better suited for their group. We hear laughing and the camera turns and in walks none other than Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin who stop and hold up four fingers, the sign of the Four Horsemen. Did not take long for the Horsemen to find replacements. All five men laugh as we go to the ring for the opening match.
Bobby Shane and Jimmy Valiant start the action. It looked like Jimmy reached in his trunks and hit Bobby with something. Soon after a flying knee and the three count gave the win to Jimmy. Owen Hart took on Bill Dundee in the following match. A good match that saw Owen was just too good for Bill.
In tag action that came next The Empire and The Sheepherders tangled. The Sheepherders seemed off as they were not able to do much before being finished off. In the main event Killer Kowalski defended the American Heavyweight title vs. the man he faced in the finals of the tournament, and who has been his top adversary all year, Nick Bockwinkel. A couple times it seemed Killer was in trouble but he fought thru it and got the win via the Claw. Yet something tells us these two are not done with each other.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: Hit Squad American Heavyweight Champion: Killer Kowalski
ECW
12/5 The show beings with a match between Larry Sweeney and RVD. It was a super quick match. In first minute RVD hit his 5 Star Frog Splash but Sweeney kicked out. RVD went up to the top of the turnbuckle and hit is a 2nd time and got the win. RVD was celebrating and did not notice Armageddon get in the ring. Before RVD knew what was happening he got choke slammed. Than Larry got up and started kicking RVD. In the next match Terry Gordy and Benett Cole of the Dark Menace Forces went at it. Terry started strong but thanks to Dark Menace cracking his cane over Terry's head Cole was able to get going. He came close to a pin a couple times but Gordy fought back and after a couple Orient Spikes Terry got the win.
Demolition and PG-13 were in tag action next. With exception of a short run when PG-13 turned things in their favor the match was all Demolition and after hitting their finisher they got the victory. In the main event Tommy Dreamer was able to get his hands on Stevie Richards as they had a rematch. Tommy was focused and determined thus he was able to come out on top. However he did not get to enjoy it for long as Raven ran in, turned Tommy around and hit the Raven Effect DVD on him. Stevie and Amish Roadkill looked like they were going to attack Tommy while he was down but Raven pushed them away and commanded them to go to the back. As they slowly walked to the back Raven stood over Tommy and threw his arms out to the side in his Raven pose.
World Champion: Jon Moxley Tag Team Champions: VKM TV Title: Al Snow
CHIKARA
12/2 As the show starts Chris Hero stands in the ring. He talks about how he was brought in to defeat BDS and while he did not get the job done right away he is still a top wrestler. However the fans and Ultramantis Black forgot about him and moved on to the new flavor of the month, Jeff Hardy. Chris says he is better than Jeff and that he would have beat BDS but now he does not care. All he cares about is himself and getting gold. He thinks one way to get to that goal is to beat Hardy. So he is calling Jeff out. Jeff comes out to a nice pop. He says he has no issue with Chris but if Chris wants a match, he's got it.
The first match is Jigsaw against Crossbones. A decent match that ended with Jigsaw getting the win. Next Shane Storm took on Archibald Peck. Storm controlled most of the match. The big turning point came while both men were out of the ring. Storm was working Peck over when suddenly an unknown man walked down to the ring. He must be the mysterious man seen backstage at many shows as he was dressed like an Egyptian royalty. Shane was taken back by his appearance and just stared at this man. The distraction hurt him as Peck attacked Shane from behind and tossed him back in the ring. A few more minutes of offense and Peck ended up with the win. The mysterious man had slowly walked to the back before the match ended. After recovering Shane looked around for him, asked the ref who he was and where he went then went running to the back to find him.
The Colony and Naptown Dragons were in tag action in the next match as The Colony was trying to earn their third point. The Colony took it too the Dragons from the opening bell and never let them get any traction. Eventually The Colony earned the win and their third point. Now just a matter of when they cash in for a title match. Then it was the main event as Jeff Hardy and Chris Hero faced off. Chris asked for this match but it did not seem he was ready for it as Jeff outclassed him for an easy win via the Swanton Bomb.

Wrestling Wrap-up Weekly - Vol 2, Issue 50
Rumors and News
- Some people in the front office of AWA think their roster is a bit thin. So expect some new signings as they try and bolster the roster.
- NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling, soon to be Global Championship Wrestling, is contemplating adding a 6 man tag title.
In honor of reaching our 50th issue we have a special section with highlights of some recent interviews.
Bobby Heenan (NWA:GCW) - "Bruiser has been the most dominating wrestler week after week and he deserves a World Title shot and by god I will get him that shot. He deserves to be in the main event at Starrcade. He WILL be there even if I have to get my lawyers; Dewey, Cheatem and Howe on the case. This man (motions with his thumb over his shoulder at Bruiser Brody) is your next World Champion and you can take that to the bank."
JJ Dillon (AWA) - "The Four Horsemen have been the dominating force in professional wrestling since their creation. However they were not as strong as they could be. We needed an upgrade at the back end as the Tolos brothers were not pulling their weight. Now with Haas and Benjamin as our tag team we are much stronger and soon will have all the gold in the AWA"
Hamilton Wrecking Crew (AWA) - "We will not the betrayal by Dillon and the other Horsemen laying down. We are the best tag team today and the Horsemen will regret turning on us. We will make their life a living hell for what they did. Far as we know Haas and Benjamin had nothing to do with this so we have no beef with them. So we suggest they stay out of our way or they will pay like Rogers and Kowalski are going to"
Rowdy Roddy Piper (TBD) - "So after being looked over for months by the NWA Mid Atlantic and having Bobo Brazil duck me non stop I finally get the title shot I deserved and what happens? They screw me over with the ref making a quick three count. So not only did I not get my title but I have to leave the company. Well their loss is someone else's gain. This Scot is taking his talents elsewhere. I have not decided who gets the honor of my presence just yet but when I do I will go there and I will get the gold I deserve. And you can take that to the bank."
Kevin Steen (ROH) - "For those that do not know, me and El Generico have history. We have crossed paths before on many occasions in various promotions across Canada while we were starting out. That is why I know he is no match for me and no threat to this (holds up the World Championship). At Final Battle I will beat him and remain the World Champion."
Dark Menace (ECW) - "I am not done with The Sheik. My Dark Menace Forces will make him pay and eventually destroy him. The same goes for Sabu and anyone else that stands in my way. You have only begun to see the carnage I will unleash on The Sheik and the ECW."
Drew Galloway (TBD) - "As of right now I am a free agent and I am weighing my options. I will take the offer that is best for my career. Whoever signs me will get a blue chipper and future world champion."
Kenny Omega (NJPW) - "I am known as The Cleaner because it is my job to take care of any problems that arise for the Bullet Club. That is true be they external...or internal. Club members have to live up to the name or they will no longer be in the Club."
ROH
12/14 Two men who lost in the Top Prospect tournament semi finals opened the match. Marshe Rocket and Drew Gulak had a good match that saw Marshe come out on top. Next Uhaa Nation and Rhino, the enforcer for S.C.U.M., went at it. Nation got the win in a slug fest. After the match Team S.C.U.M. ran down and helped Rhino attack Nation. Before they could do much damage however the Motor City Machine Guns came down to even the score and fight them off.
Tag action was next as Forever Hooligans and reDRagon faced off. A quick paced match that saw the Hooligans come out victorious. Then it was the main event as AJ Styles and Moose did battle. The leader of the US chapter of the Bullet Club got the win over his larger opponent.
Final Battle card as of now:
Kevin Steen vs. El Generico (title match) MCMG vs. Team S.C.U.M. (title match) Tommy End vs. Lio Rush (Top Prospect tournament final) AJ Styles vs. Austin Ares Bullet Club vs. Next Generation Silas Young vs. Cedrick Alexander (Fight Without Honor)
World Champion: Kevin Steen Tag Team Champions: MCMG
NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
12/10 The opening match was between Giant Baba and Masked Superstar. Giant Baba kept his winning streak going as he had little trouble with the Masked Superstar. In the following match Ted Dibiase and Hillbilly Jim went at it. Ted seemed to be in control early but Jim fought back and got the win. After the match Ted attacked Jim and had to be pulled off him.
Glam Gods and The Russian Bears were in action next. Both teams gave it their all and came close to winning but were unable to pull out the victory as the match ended in a time limit draw. We are sure we will see these teams in action again and pretty soon at that. The main event was for the US Title as Bruiser Brody defended against Tony Atlas. This match is what one would expect, two big strong men slugging it out. The action spilled outside of the ring and neither man would give an inch. In fact neither listened to the ref when he told them over and over to get back in the ring. Thus the ref called for the bell and the match ended in a double DQ. Odds are neither man is done with the other. Tony wants the title and Brody will want to show he is the tougher man.
Starrcade II card so far:
Road Warriors vs. The Machines (Tag Team Championship match) Road Warriors vs. Midnight Express (US Tag Title match)
World Champion: Randy Savage Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors US Title: Bruiser Brody US Tag Title: Road Warriors
AWA
12/13 The show opened with a match between two new comers to AWA. One is a well known vet, Lou Thesz, and the other a guy who has been around only a couple years but slowly getting a good rep, Randy Rose. This was a solid match that showed how good both men are but in the end Lou Thesz got the W. Next Jimmy Valiant and Bill Dundee had a match that saw Jimmy appear to use a foreign object on the way to getting the win.
Red Bastien and Dutch Savage were in the next match. A real good back and forth that saw both men almost get the win before Dutch finally did. In the main event the newest members of the Four Horsemen, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, took on Marty Jannetty and Bob Roop. This ended up being a quick match as Haas and Shelton used frequent tags and kept Roop on their side of the ring before finishing him off. After the Hamilton Wrecking Crew came out to the top of the stage and stared Haas and Benjamin down as the show ended.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers Tag Team Champions: Hit Squad American Heavyweight Champion: Killer Kowalski
ECW
12/12 We had an X Division quarterfinal match to kick off the action as Jerry Lynn faced D'lo Brown. The match started with some high flying inside of the ring but before long went to the outside and turned into a brutal war. Lots of action and a few broken chairs. In the end D'lo ended up with the upset victory to move on. Then we get a promo showing rioting and buildings on fire before morphing into scenes of brutal action from ECW then a black screen with the words "Law and order is coming to ECW". Those words dissolve and new words flash across the screen "NEXT WEEK". Back to the ring as One Man Gang took on Amish Roadkill. Both are big men but OMG showed he has the experience and more power as he tossed Amish around and had little trouble before getting the win. He walked off laughing as Roadkill looked at him with a hurt look on his face.
LAX and the Mongols were in tag action in the following match. The Mongols have done nothing but lose since arriving in ECW and things did not change here as the LAX came out on top. The main event was Al Snow defending the TV Title against Val Venis. While Val's friend and tag partner had success in the opening match Val did not have the same success as Snow used his head, literally and both the one on his shoulder and the fake one, to defeat him.
World Champion: Jon Moxley Tag Team Champions: VKM TV Title: Al Snow
CHIKARA
12/9 New comer and wrestling vet Rockin' Robin made her debut in the opening match against Daizee Haze. The experience showed as Robin dominated the action and won via Flying Bulldog. She got a nice ovation before and after the match. A rematch was next as Shane Storm battled Zach Sabre Jr who was looking for payback for his previous loss. Zach was controlling the action early and seemed on his way to the win when Shane rolled out of the ring. That turned out to be a good move as he was able to pull Zach out of the ring and get rolling on offense. It did not last though as Zach got the win. After the match the mysterious Egyptian man came down and stared at Shane until Shane got mad and started coming at him. Shane ended up chasing the Egyptian to the back.
Brodie Lee and Jim Powers tangled next in a one sided match. Lee simply destroyed his opponent on the way to an easy win. Then it was the main event as we had trios action between Tyler Black & die Jager and The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple. This was a wild match with high flying, men getting tossed out of the ring to have their teammate come in and lots of close pin attempts. It seemed like Tyler and Ultramantis would not be in the ring at the same time but eventually it did happen. They went at it hard and both men were in control at different times. As good as it was it did not last long as Tyler tagged out. Eventually the BDS members used a triple power bomb to finish off Frightmare and get the win. After the BDS left and as The Order recovered in the ring the mysterious Egyptian came down to ring side. He stares at Ultramantis Black who does not seem to notice him at first. When Ultramantis finally noticed him he stopped in his tracks and stared back. He slowly points at the Egyptian as the show goes off the air.

12/18 Final Battle ppv
1) Tommy End vs. Lio Rush (Top Prospect Tournament final) The ppv kicked off the action with a hot match between two men trying to not only earn a spot on the ROH roster but being the first entrance into the ROH World TV title tournament. Tommy looked good early but before long Lio used his speed advantage to gain control and end up with the victory.
2) Bullet Club vs. Generation Next - A solid match that saw Matt Sydal hit his Shooting Sydal Press on Giant Bernard to gain the win for his team.
3) Silas Young vs. Cedrick Alexander (Fight Without Honor) The action went back and forth till Alexander tossed Silas out of the ring. Then Alexander beat down on Silas and threw him around the floor. It seemed he was not far from a victory after some nasty chair shots. However things changed when Cedrick set Silas up against the railing and tried to hit a spear on him but Silas moved. After that both men brawled outside the ring for awhile before Silas tossed Cedrick back in the ring and finished him off for the win.
4) MCMG vs. Team S.C.U.M. (Tag title) A good back and forth match. The end came when Corino and Sabin were outside the ring fighting and the ref tried to get them to stop. Corino pushed the ref out of his way resulting in the ref to disqualify his team. Jimmy was upset at Steve for costing them the match and thus the titles. Steve tried to explain but Jimmy did not seem to want to hear it and walked off.
5) AJ Styles vs. Austin Ares - A match-up of the leaders of Bullet Club and Generation Next. Both men showed off their offensive repertoire in a real good match. AJ was going for the kill when he climbed to the top of the turnbuckle but as the ref checked on Austin, Moose ran down and pushed AJ off. Ares took advantage of the crash and burn and started to wear AJ down. AJ was not going to go down easy and fought back. He hit his finisher and as he went for the pin Moose started to get in to break the count but Tommaso Ciampa ran down to stop him. That allowed AJ to get the three count and win the match. After Ciampa got in the ring and faced off with AJ. Then Ciampa ripped off the grey t-shirt he was wearing to reveal a Bullet Club one and AJ smiled and hugged him. It seems the Club has a new member.
6) Kevin Steen vs. El Generico (World title) A good match that saw El Generico overcome a slow start to get on a roll. He hit the Brainbustaaahhh and it seemed like he would win the World Championship but suddenly Matt Hardy ran in and attacked him. The ref tried to get Matt out but Matt ignored him so the ref called for the bell. Your winner by disqualification El Generico but Kevin Steen is still World Champion.
12/21 The show starts with short clips of the main event from Final Battle. Due to the result of that match ROH has given El Generico a rematch in tonight's main event. To give him a fair shot, S.C.U.M. is banned from ring side. If any of them show up the title will be stripped from Steen. The opening match is between the newest member of Bullet Club, Tommaso Ciampa and Moose of Generation Next. A decent match that saw Moose come out on top. We see Kevin Steen in back yelling at Matt Hardy for messing up at the ppv resulting in the rematch tonight. Steve Corino comes in and says Matt was just doing what had to be done. Then we see Jimmy Jacobs walk up and he says what does Steve know. Kevin is right. Matt should have helped Kevin out without getting him disqualified. All four men start to argue as we head back to the ring. In the next match Uhaa Nation and Nigel McGuinness went at it. Uhaa dominated most of the action on the way to the W.
Tag action next as Forever Hooligans faced off with Backseat Boyz. It was a quick win for the Hooligans. After the Boyz got in the Hooligans face and it seemed the teams would brawl but officials came down and separated them. While the Boyz were not happy with the loss it would seem the Bullet Club and Generation Next would be upset too as they both have recent losses to the Boyz. Main event time and Kevin Steen was working over El Generico but the challenger fought back. After a Spike Brainbuster El Generico covered the champion and got the three count. Your winner and new World Champion El Generico.

12/17 The show starts with an announcement that Bruiser Brody will get his World title shot at Starrcade II but tonight he will defend his US Title in a rematch with Tony Atlas in a no DQ match. Opening match is tag action as The Machines and Killer Bees went at it. The Machines proved to be too much for the Bees and got the win. Next Abdullah Farouk came out with the Hennings. He said he has sold the contracts of the Hennings. Curt looked a bit confused but Larry did not seem fazed. Then Abdullah introduces who bought them...Jimmy Hart. Jimmy comes out and says he is happy to be back in the game and he will take his team to the top. The second match was a guy who has been on a roll, Giant Baba, against Freddie Blassie. It was a vicious match as Freddie busted Baba open after numerous bites but it did not keep Baba from coming out on top. Could a title match be in Giant Baba's future before long?
Larry and Curt Henning, with their new manager Jimmy Hart, took on The Kangaroos next. Early on the father and son due were in trouble as Larry almost got pinned. But their new manager distracted the ref, after laying his megaphone in the ring. Larry took the megaphone and blasted Al. Both teams came close to winning after that but in the end the Hennings got the important victory. Jimmy was jumping up and down after. Then it was the main event. Tony Atlas was in the ring waiting on Bruiser when his music started but he did not come out. After a bit Brody's manager, Bobby Heenan, came out and shrugged his shoulders while holding his hands out to his side palms up. He kept looking toward the back and motioning that way as if he did not know where his man was. The ref got out of the ring and started walking to him. Tony was watching what was going on there and thus did not notice Bruiser Brody make his way in from the crowd and slip in the ring behind him. Bruiser then jumped the challenger. The match was a brutal war that saw both men take chair shots from the other. In the end Bruiser won and retained his title. So it looks like we will have a title vs. title match at Starrcade.

12/19 The show begins with the Sandman making his entrance from the crowd and waiting in the ring. Then on the screen we get a promo with the scenes from the promos over last few weeks showing rioting and police forces. Music hits and out comes...The Mountie. Sandman dominated early, using his Singapore cane to hit The Mountie a couple times, but could not put the new comer away. The Mountie fought back and thanks to using the shock stick he brought to the ring got the win. After the match he pulled out what appeared to be a ticket book, write something down, rip off the sheet and laid it on Sandman's chest before leaving. We then see Laeviculus sneaking around in back and then spying on the Illuminati. Back to the ring for the first quarterfinal match in the X Division tournament. It is between Super Crazy and Matt Cross. It was a high flying match that stayed inside the ring. In the end Matt Cross hit a Space Flying Tiger Drop to win and advance in the tournament.
We see Demolition before their match. Mr Fuji is firing up his men before they take on the Wolves. He says it is time they stepped up and started to dominate. It seemed to work as that is what Demolition did in their match and picked up a rather easy win. The main event was between Taz and The Destroyer. Taz has been on a mission since losing his title and he really took it to The Destroyer and finished him off via the Tazmission. After Jon Moxley ran in and attacked Taz. Bill Alfonso grabbed a chair and tried tossing it in the ring to Taz but The Destroyer caught it, turned around and laid Taz out with a chair shot. Before leaving the ring The Destroyer and Jon Moxley made the Illuminati hand sign over their head and both men pointed to Bill and gave him a thumbs up. Bill looked confused and Taz, as he tried to recover looked at his attackers and then Bill. Is Bill part of the Illuminati?

12/16 The show kicks off with a teaser for an interview later between Amber and Ultramantis Black. It is about UB and his connection with the mysterious Egyptian we have been seeing. The first match is between Tiger Mask and Leva Bates. It is a solid match that sees Tiger come out on top after a twisting moonsault. When the match is done the two shake hands in a sign of respect. Next Eddie Kingston took on Worker Ant. The match started with Eddie giving a headbutt and was over soon after as Eddie dominated his opponent.
We get the interview between Amber and Ultramantis Black. He explains that the man we have seen is, or was, an Egyptian prince from a long time ago. UB met him when UB was looking for a way to deal with BDS and traveled into the past. He tried to continue but Amber stopped him. She asked "traveled into the...past?" and he said yes. He did not want to give away his secret for time travel but said he went thru it and when he came back the prince, his name is Ophidian, somehow followed him back. UB said he and the Order have been trying to train Ophidian to wrestle as he seems to love it and wants to compete. The Order thought maybe he could help in their war with BDS but he is too raw. However Ophidian will be making his debut soon.
Tim Donst and Ares were in the next match. Ares started the match by giving Tim a low blow. During the match Tursas helped his tag partner work over Tim. In the end Ares got the win. After the match die Jager tried attacking Tim but Claudio Castagnoli ran down and made the save. This was first time he had been seen at a card since the ppv almost two months ago and first time overall in about a month. The main event was a title match between Bravado Brothers and The Colony as they were cashing in the 3 points they recently earned. In the first fall The Colony dominated Lancelot and got the pin. The second fall started with Harlem taking it to the challengers right away and he pulled off a quick pin to even the match at one fall apiece. The third fall was a battle as both teams went back and forth. In the end Harlem and Soldier Ant spilled out of the ring and Fire Ant and Lancelot came into the ring. Lancelot had been worked over all match and had little in the tank and Fire finished him off to win the fall and the match. The Colony were new Campeonatos de Parejas champions. This was their third time with the belts.
