TRADITION

[Deleted]

Hello, fellow promoters; my name is Rob Bennett and since 2009 I have been promoting my fantasy wrestling fed known as TRADITION, on another board much like this (which will remain nameless). I have decided recently that this board and more specifically this thread is where I need to put my promotion. I have been thrilled with the progress of TRADITION over the past 5 years and I cant be more excited for the future here EXCLUSIVELY on the Filsinger message board.

For the past few days I have been deciding weather just to start from scratch, or continue with TRADITION and for me its all about continuity so....I have decided to begin TRADITION's new journey here with my 5th Anniversary show from June 22nd 2014. It was the last show I have done up to this point.... I would like it to be my starting point here....I hope you enjoy. I will be posting quite often after the July 4th holiday so keep an eye out and keep the dice rolling-

Thank you;
Rob Bennett

5TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW
JUNE 22ND 2014
CRUNCHIES BAR
EAST LANSING, MI

STEEL CAGE GRUDGE MATCH
SAMI CALLIHAN vs BROCK LESNAR

"This match was quickly demanded by Brock after he tapped out to Callihan to the surprise by some in their match at GYM WARS and as Brock slowly made his way to the ring and into the cage the fans let him have it with "YOU TAPPED OUT" chants so loud it shock the building. Lesnar just waited pacing in the corner like a lion waiting for his prey in the cage.

Sami came down to the ring along side his OI4K teammates Jake & Dave Crist who went as far as ringside, each embraced Sami told him to kick Brock's ass, and that they would be watching in the locker room and they got his back if need be. That is all Callihan needed to hear as he stomped up the steps right into the cage and went face to face with Lesnar as the cage door shut and the bell sounded to start the match.

"The stare down continued for a few moments which included some "conversation" between the two, who would blink first?...it would be Callihan with a face shove to Lesnar who responded quickly several forearm smashes to the face of his opponent. For both of these men this match means so much, for Brock having the possibilty of yet ANOTHER loss to Sami and for Callihan a win here would most certainly put him in line for a Tradition title match in the near future, and more importantly he want's to prove that his win at GYM WARS was not a fluke.

After taking several of Lesnar forearms to the face and chest, Sami tried to come off the ropes with a flying tackle but Brock side stepped and Callihan went head first into the cage! The MLW star then took complete control slamming the head of the OI4K member again and again and again into the steel, raking his face against the cage like a cheese grater!

As you can imagine blood began to poor out of the head of the Death Machine as Brock to him to school with perfectly executed German suplex, then took Sami to the corner and delivered vicious knee strikes to the body over and over again, Brock then quickly turned to the crowd and raised his hands in victory and screamed F*CK YOU to the crowd!

Callihan looked as though he would now include internal injuries to this match to go along with the huge gash on his forehead, as it seemed he was coughing up some blood, Lesnar looked as though he was ready to finally put Sami away as he went to pick Callihan up for what looked like his F-5 Sami fought back with elbow strikes, and suddenly hit Brock flush in the face with his Forearm 2 Remember!

Brock's nose burst and blood began to pour out at a rapid pace, as it for surly was broken maybe even shattered, this changed the whole complection of the match, it took a minute for Sami to realize that Brock was in big trouble, when he did he took full advantage with another Forearm 2 Remember followed by a headlock driver right in the center of the ring!....1...2....Kick out by Lesnar who's face and neck was covered in crimson!

Callihan who let's not forget was still losing blood also, slammed Brock head first into the cage then went to the top rope and came down with a huge splash BUT Brock moved and Callihan crashed and burned on the canvas. Lesnar got slowly to his feet, some how with all the blood loss got Sami up on his shoulders and as he let out scream delivered his F-5 finisher!!

Both men were down, covered in blood, Lesnar slowly crawled over to the prone body of his opponent and draped his arm over for the cover, 1....2...Sami kicked out!!!

The crowd goes bananas as the match continued...Lesnar stood up..Callihan slowly followed suit...Lesnar went for a standing clothesline Sami ducked then flew off the ropes with s suicide dive to Lesnar which propelled them both against the cage! Which put a hole threw the cage steel mesh!!! big enough where Sami went threw it and crashed down onto the concrete outside of the ring!

Brock however was not so lucky as he was stuck akwardly in between, his upper back and shoulders were out of the cage, the broken wire mesh sticking into his back!!!

Officials and EMT's came running down to ringside to get Brock free from the steel which they did and Lesnar fell forward back into the cage, his back just covered in cut's and one huge gash..Brock was motionless.

Sami motionless outside the ring some how was able to slowly get up after several minutes slowly crawl back into the cage and fall onto Lesnar to make the cover and get the three count for this unbeliveable brutal victory."

*THE MAIN CONCERN WAS THE WELL BEING OF THESE TWO ATHLETES, EMT'S WASTED NO TIME GETTING TO THE RING TO ATTEND TO BOTH, THE FANS STOOD AS ONE AND CLAPPED AS THHEY WERE STILL IN SHOOK OVER WHAT THEY JUST SAW TO KICK OFF THE SHOW. SEVERAL MINUTES WENT BY, BUT FINALLY WITH ASSISTANCE FROM OFFICIALS, DOCTORS AND OTHER WRESTLERS LESNAR & CALLIHAN WERE ABLE TO LEAVE THE RING TO GO TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER TESTING..WE WILL FOR SURE HAVE UPDATES ON THEIR CONDITION AS SOON AS WE GET THEM*

YOSHI AMERICA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
STREET FIGHT
(C) KIMBER LEE vs. CHRISTINA VON EERIE
"With everyone still trying to catch their breath over what just happened in the opening match, these two did not even wait to get introduced coming to the ring, the brawl seemed to have been going on several minutes in the back stage area, it took a few moments to get one of our camera men back there.

When he did Christina just put Kimber Lee threw a table with a vicious slam, then caught the champion flush with a knee strike for a NEAR fall. Christina continued her assault dragging the champion and whipping her by the hair against a soda machine!, which actually made a coke can come out of the machine!...CVE then took the can and smashed it to the head of Lee.

Lee fought back and got the advantage after delivering a vicious low blow then a steel chair shot to the head of her spiked hair opponent! Lee then grabbed a huge cable wire and wrapped it around the neck of Von Eerie, with Christina gasping for air Lee finally released the hold and again smashed her in the face with the steel chair!

Lee went for the cover but was not able to hold her opponent down for the three as Christina not only kicked out but was able to get back on the offense with a boot to the face!....Christina then dragged Lee down the hall to what looked like the matianince area as a huge piece of glass was leaning against the wall, without a second thought CVE threw Lee right threw the plate glass which shattered!!!!

Lee with cuts all over her was motionless laying in all sizes of pieces of glass!...CVE walked over and looked to take Lee and drag her threw the broken glass but Lee took one of the bigger pieces of glass near her and stap Von Eerie with it in the arm!!!!

Lee then slowly got up and delivered a German suplex to CVE on the broken glass and concrete, somehow Christina kicked out....Lee got up and went threw a desk and found a tool box where she took out a industrial hammer...she went to hit Von Eerie in the head with it!...CVE ducked and connected with her Graveyard smash!!

Christina then found a ladder and as soon as Lee got to her feet, Von Eerie smashed her head first with the ladder!!...Von Eerie went to set up the ladder, Lee some how recovered and both climbed the ladder..both on the top of the ladder throwing fists they both fell off crashing down again on broken glass and concrete!!!...Both laid motionless but Lee was able to put her arm over Von Eerie for the official cover to give her the three count to retain her title in a war!"

CHALLENGE MATCH
ED "STRANGER" LEWIS w/ FRANK GOTCH vs. AUSTIN ARIES

"This match was demanded by Lewis through Frank Gotch, after Aries interfeared in the Strangler's title rematch against CM Punk, both Lewis and Gotch feel IF Aries did not include himself then Lewis would be once again TRADITION champion, Aries responded by accepting the match saying he has no issue with Lewis and or Gotch just that those two gentlemen were in the wrong place at the wrong time as Aries sole purpose in wrestling right now is to get revenge against Punk for what he did to him in the Last man standing match.

Lewis took control of the match early with picture perfect mat wrestling which included a step over toe hold then a double wristlock, Aries was frustrated you could tell as he reached the ropes for the break several times...Gotch stood at ringside with a smile on his face as his fellow hooker seemed to be in complete control physically and mentally in the early going of this match

Aries once again got caught this time in a full nelson and looked as though was going to tap but got his foot on the ropes again forcing the ref to break the hold, which Lewis did but got a palm strike in the face from Aries for his efforts, again many believe more frustration then anything the reason for the strike by Aries.

In saying that Aries shoved Lewis into the corner and out of no where connected with his heat seeking missile dropkick snapping Lewis head right back, which lead into a slingshot elbow drop. Aries then came off the ropes and attempted his Pendulum elbow but got caught by Lewis who quickly applied his STRANGLER HEADLOCK Finisher, several minutes in the painful submission but Aries would not tap to the shock of Gotch, Aries again reached the ropes to have the hold broken. Aries fought back and out of nowhere hit his Death Valley Driver!

Aries went for broke and quickly climbed to the top rope and came down with a 450 splash BUT missed as Lewis moved and went in for the kill with a full nelson submission!...Aries after several more minutes was able to muster enough strength to break the hold to the shock of Lewis, a quick kick to the midsection of Lewis,and Aries connected with his Brainbuster for the three count and victory!"

H.O.T TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
(C)KINGS OF WRESTLING vs OI4K
"Another chapter in this rivalry between these two fantastic teams, back and fourth these teams went with no real offensive advantage to either team until Dave went for a suicide dive but got caught in mid air with a nasty European uppercut by Claudio which no doubt knocked out a few teeth. Jake not only made the save but caught Claudio with a running kick to the face which led to a tiger suplex drooping the Swiss strong man right on his head!

Dave recovered and he and his brother hit the enzugiri/running spear combo on Claudio for a near fall!

Hero makes the save with a running elbow strike to Dave, Jake hits a Yakuza kick square in the face of Hero to set up a super kick by Dave to Hero who is out on his feet but Claudio recovers and comes at Dave with a running knee lift, Hero somehow hits his Cravat buster out of nowhere which leads Jake right into the Royal Power & Glory double team move by the KOW...BUT some how Jake kicks out!

The KOW are in shock, and Dave Crist came out of nowhere and hit Claudio with his Head and Trap DDT finisher and then did the same to Hero!, Dave covered Hero for a NEAR fall!, Jake came back and dove off the top rope but Castagnoli caught him in mid flight with his European uppercut knocking him out cold...Hero blasted Dave with a rolling elbow smash to finally put away the OI4K to retain the titles"

"AMERICAN DRAGON" BRYAN DANIELSON vs. DREW GULAK
"A pure wrestling fan's dream match with these two, and they did not disappoint, Danielson came right in and started really strong with stiff kicks and a vary of suplexes which led to a diving head butt for a near fall, Gulak showed his toughness and not only withstood the onslaught but was able to strike back with a vicious clothesline right into a half crab, Danielson escaped and again caught Gulak with a vicious round house kick to the head.

Gulak fell to the outside of the ring..Danielson went out after him but got a steel post for his efforts..Gulak got him back in the ring and kicked Dragon square in the chin...went for a an ankle lock submission, but Danielson rolled right threw it but got caught with a knee strike off the ropes. Again Gulak applied the ankle lock and after several minutes Danielson again rolled threw and caught Gulak with yet another Yakuza kick which led to MMA strikes!

The ref counted to 5 and Danielson got pulled off by the official and warned about getting disqualified Danielson screamed he had until 5...Gulak with sudden aggression connected with his Cross Crusher for a surprising 3 count victory!

INTERNATIONAL TAG TEAM MATCH
SPITFIRE CHAMPION: AJ STYLES & "FALLEN ANGEL" CHRISTOPHER DANIELS vs. TRADITION CHAMPION: CM PUNK & "RAINMAKER" KAZUCHIKA OKADA
"Where to begin, an absolute gem of a match, feel out process went about 10-15 minutes of back and fourth action, Daniels got the first real offensive flurry in the match with a urange slam on Punk with a quick tag to Styles who nailed Punk with a discuss lariat. Punk rolled out of the ring, were Styles flew over the ropes with a suicide dive crashing into he guard rail with Punk. The Tradition champion was first to his feet and hit Styles with a stiff kick to the head, threw him back in the ring tagged in Okada.

The Rainmaker went to work sticking styles right on the back of his head with a German suplex then followed up with a picture perfect missile dropkick. Styles kicked out of the pin attempt and hit Okada out of nowhere with the Pele kick..tagged in Daniels who hit his Blue thunder bomb for a near fall but Punk came in to make the save.

Styles went after Punk and the two brawled out of the ring, Daniels came off the ropes but Okada caught him with a reverse neck breaker, Punk caught Styles with a Shinning wizard for a simutanulous pin attempt but both Styles and Daniels kicked out!...Styles hit Punk with a vicious spin kick followed by Daniels hitting his last rites! Okada made the save only to be hit with the rack bomb by AJ for another near fall!!!

Punk tossed Daniels out of the ring,..then went to the back, only to come back a few moments later with a ladder!!!!...he smashed Styles in the head with the ladder!

He set up the industrial size ladder by the downed Christopher Daniels Okada held up AJ as punk climbed to the top, looked at AJ and spit at him!..the TRADITION champion flew off the ladder looking to connect with his flying elbow BUT Daniels moved and Punk came up empty crashing down on the concrete elbow first!!!

Style then hit Okada with his discuss lariat and went to the top and hit his Spinal Tap!....BUT some how Okada kicked out, Styles was in shock!..Daniels went to pin Okada who was still down as he delivered the BME, but Okada again kicked out!...Punk some how made it to the apron and hit Daniels with a stiff kick square in the back of the head..Okada recovered and went toe to toe with Styles for several more minutes, Okada got the upper hand and hit Styles with heavy rain right into a tombstone piledriver for the 3 count!"

*AFTER THE MATCH ARIES WAS VERY UPSET, AS THE OI4K CELEBRATED THEIR WIN*

INTERNATIONAL SPECIAL ATTRACTION MATCH
YURI NAGATA vs. DAVE "FIT" FINLAY
"These two true international legends tore the roof off with a tremendous hart hitting affair. It started with an enzugiri by Nagata right after the opening bell sounded. Which led right into the Nagata Lock, after several moments Finlay reaches the ropes to finally break the hold, but Nagata continued his systematic assault after connecting with his sheer drop brainbuster, Yuri applied version #IV of his Nagata Lock.

Finlay again would not tap and he did indeed reach the ropes for the break, belly to belly by Nagata who then throws Fit into the turnbuckle. Nagata charges with reckless abandon and Finlay moves. Nagata crashes down hard on the concrete as he crashed into the turnbuckle the momentum carried him over it to the floor!

Nagata (barely) made it back to the ring before the twenty count, where Finlay was waiting connecting with a fall away slam, then a poewerslam followed by vicious European uppercuts!

Nagata withstands all the punishment and out of nowhere applies his Nagata Lock once again, into the crucfix
arm bar then a seated arm breaker! Fit was able to escape thee hold but he rolled to the outside holding his right arm in pain.

Nagata gets him back in the ring and hits his Bridging Backdrop, Dave BARELY escapes the pin attempt. Seated arm bar right into the Nagata Lock IV...Finlay screaming in pain some how reaches the ropes to break the hold!

Nagata for the first time in this match is clearly frustrated and he decides to go for broke as he goes to the top and comes down face first into the knees of the Irishman.

CELTIC CROSS finisher by Finlay...Kick Out by Nagata...Fall away slam Nagata crashes to the concrete, Finlay goes out after his fallen prey but Nagata slams him on the concrete! Nagata gets Finlay back in the ring and attempts his seated arm bar again BUT Finlay despite what many believe to be a broken arm some how reverses the hold and gets a half of the cross face chicken wing applied, Nagata reaches the ropes easily but Finlay with his good arm hits his Japan opponent flush with a European uppercut followed by a tombstone piledriver for the 3 count tremendous victory!"

"THE RAINMAKER" KAZUCHIKA OKADA vs. AJ STYLES
