MELINA defeated AWESOME KONG by DQ
"An intense match up between these two..as Melina continues her quest to be the most dominate female wrestler in this sport..however many believe that Kong is what Melina wants to be.

Melina took it Kong early with some high risk moves off the top rope that paid off....thanks to a dropkick off the top connecting square in the face Kong's upper lip got busted open...the site of her own blood seemed to enrage Kong because after that her brute force just took over as she caught Melina numerous times with power slams and power bombs.

To Melina's credit however the former multi time WWE women champion kept fight back and after avoiding a lariat thanks to a matrix bend and connecting with a thrust kick to the back of the head..Melina thought she had the three count..Kong however through her off and tossed her outside the ring...then decided to slam her face first into the steel post..and deliver a thunderous chair shot to the head!

The referee called for the DQ as Kong would not listen to the warnings by the official"

AFTER THE MATCH THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA WENT OUT WHEN A READ HUE CAME OVER THE RINGSIDE AREA AND....
AND
JIMMY JACOBS AND SHELLY MARTINEZ MADE THEIR WAY TO THE RING

JIMMY: "I told you their would be repercutions for your actions Melina..and trust me when I tell you this is only the beginning for you...Shelly will have her revenge and when TRADITION hits 50 she will get it INSIDE A STEEL CAGE!

Now get her the hell out of this ring..."

CHONO/TENZAN defeated JIMMY JACOBS/TYLER BLACK w/ SHELLY MARTINEZ
"Jacobs wanted to lead his team to victory and spent most of the time being the one in the ring with Tyler really wanting to get involved in the match waiting outside.

Jacobs got caught early with a vicious clothesline by Tenzan followed by a huge knee in the corner...Tenzan and Chono showed great team work with quick tags and keeping Jacobs in there side of the ring,,Chono continued the assault with vicious chops and a tremendous Japanesse dragon leg whip

Jacobs showed his toughness with stood the offense by his opponents and was able to get Chono in his END TIME submission...Tenzan however made the save only for Tyley Black to connect with God's Last Gift followed by a tremendous 450 splash from the top only to get a two count!...Chono not only made the save but got the victory after a tombstone pile driver from the second rope on Jacobs for the three count!"

BISON SMITH defeated TAJIRI
"In a very hard hitting contest, with Bison still battling a nagging injury Tajiri came very close on several occasions on pinning 1/2 of the TRADITION tag team champions...non closer then connecting with a thunderous stiff kick square to the face of Smith, literally knocking him out on his feet...Tajiri then planted him with a snap DDT...but could not hold the bigger Smith down enough for the three

Suddenly in a rage Bison despite his ankle injury picked up Tajiri and power bombed him outside the ring on the concrete followed up by his BICENTENNIAL finisher inside the ring to get the hard fought 3 count"

THE RING IS NOW GETTING SET UP FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOMENTS IN TRADITION HISTORY AS.....

MR SAMMARTINO WISHES BOTH THE BEST AND LEAVES THE RING TO A STANDING OVATION.

CHRIS HERO and CHRIS BENOIT went to 20 MINUTE DRAW
"With no Traci Brooks at ringside to start the match..these two rivals went at it to the nail..it started with Hero slapping Benoit and stating he would not stand in his way of revenge for what Traci and Val did to him.

Benoit responded with a headbutt busting Hero open...and the match was on...back and fourth they went no one really getting a descisive advantage over the other through out. Great counter wrestling...Hero did connect with a running boot to the face in the corner, followed up by a inverted swinging neck breaker.

Blood continued to flow from Hero's forehead, as Benoit went for broke with a suicide dive through the ropes to the concrete but Hero side stepped it and Benoit went crashing head first into the steel guard rail.

The two traded vicious chops..Hero then caught Benoit with a vicious impaler DDT between the middle and top rope..but could not put the former WWE world Champion away

Benoit thanks to a thunderous clothesline off the ropes turning Hero inside out connected with a diving head butt from the top rope..then applied the cross face submission but Hero did NOT tap out and got to the ropes after struggling for several minutes......the referee suddenly called for the bell as the time limit had expired."

LOVE:
"Damn I know fans it has been a while, in saying that it feels great to be back in this ring!...Traci despite your issues with dealing with Chris Hero, you have done an outstanding job keeping this place going with all the turmoil that has gone on behind the scenes...that is why I love you girl.

As you know after what happened a few weeks back I had to step back for a few and get my head clear and refocus which I have.

Not only that fans but I have with Traci's blessing been out recruiting I mean after all we are Another Naughty Threesome and as I see it there is only two of us in this ring!

Before all you boys out there have a heart attack wondering who this is, if I may take a moment and say a few words about the whore and that is putting in nicely she will be replacing.....VAL you and that no talent bitch Lacey Von Eric want to play games I tell you what I dont like games..I tell you what I would like and what I am going to do..is rip your damn face off and sh*t down your neck...and no one not even that hippie...chewbacca looking rat faced hoodlum Weird Jerod can do anything about it!"

TRACI:
"Hell have no fury...onto bigger and better things it is time to celebrate...and we want to kick off this great night by introducing to you the new member of Another Naughty Threesome...Ladies and Gentlemen....

TYLER BLACK defeated ERICK STEVENS
"An unbelievable turn of events with the stipulations to this match...especailly with the history between these men and the battles they have had to help build this promotion.

As you would imagine with everything on the line between these two, they tore the house down for over 15 minutes...Stevens connected with a turn buckle bomb in the corner followed by a huge splash from the top rope but could not keep Tyler down....Black fought back and caught Stevens flush in the back of the head with a kick then immediately hit God's Last Gift for a count of 2.9999999 to much of his surprise and frustration.

Stevens again took control with a devastating runny power slam from the corner and looked to put Black away with his Dr. Bomb finisher but Black got out of the hold and again hit God's Last Gift...but this time followed it up by going to the top and connecting with his Phoenix Splash finisher for the 3 count!"

*AFTER THE MATCH...A STANDING OVATION FROM THE CROWD AS BOTH MEN EXHAUSTED GOT TO THEIR FEET AND IN A GREAT SHOW OF RESPECT SHOOK HANDS...AS ERICK STEVENS IS NOW OUT OF TRADITION*

INTER PROMOTIONAL GRUDGE MATCH
BISON SMITH (TRD) defeated ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL (PNW)

"These two physical athletes have built up quite a rivalry starting in tag team battles which has spilled over to singles. It was Animal that injured Bison in a tag match a few months back and Smith has been looking for revenge ever since

Both men did not wait for the opening bell they went right at each other with heavy shots...It looked as though with a huge right hand Animal broke the nose of Smith as blood just poured down..Smith however kept moving forward with some major shots of his own including a knee off the ropes followed by a thunderous lariat from out of the corner knocking Animal inside out.

The match continued this way back and fourth shots nether man backing down...until Bison went for broke and came off the top rope with a splash and barely keeping Animal down for the 3 count!"

STEEL CAGE GRUDGE MATCH
MELINA defeated SHELLY MARTINEZ
"In an absolute war rhat had the crowd standing in appreciation...these two rivals went at it...the steel cage was used as a weapon on both ladies...Melina had a severe cut over her right eye as the jagged edge of the steel caught her flush when Shelly slammed the right side of her face into the unfogiving steel...Shelly continued her assualt when she yanked Melina by the hair out of the corner and vaulted her right into the side of the cage!

In the end Melina survived and thanks to a suicidal moon-sault off the top of the cage!!! she gets the 3 count to the cheer of the crowd!"

WHEN SUDDENLY.....

AWESOME KONG

GAIL KIM
STORMS OUT OF THE CROWD AND ATTACKS KONG..AS ON OF THE GREATEST FEUDS OF TOTAL NON STOP ACTION LOOKS TO BE REKINDLED IN TRADITION!

CHONO/TENZAN defeated KINGS OF WRESTLING

"Some may argue that this was the match of the night, for nearly 20 minutes these teams went back and fourth with great counter wrestling ..Castagnoli had Tenzan set up for the Ricola Bomb when Chono took his head off with a boot to the face..then caught Hero coming off the ropes took him down and applied the STF and after several minutes Hero had no choice but to tap!"[/center]

SUBMISSION MATCH
DAN SEVERN defeated "AMERICAN DRAGON" BRYAN DANIELSON

"Simply put a mat classic which once again had the crowd on there feet for the entire 20 plus minute match...the UFC hall of famer showed great resolve first by not tapping to Cattle Mutilation and escaping the hold!..Severn finally got Dragon down after a devastating heel hook and choked out Dragon on the mat before he could reach the ropes trying desperately to break the hold.

MAIN EVENT

TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
VS.

"The match that everyone that follows this promotion has been waiting for has finally arrived...as the two stand toe to toe in the center of the ring...in a show of respect fans throw streamers into the ring...both athletes however don't flinch and continue to stare each other down.
as the opening bell sounds...

early on both jockey for posistion really just trying to feel the other out..until Misawa hits the first real big move of the match about at the 5 minute mark a thunderous belly to back take down followed by some fists to the head and side of the face to the champion...who escaped got quickly back to his feet. The two went blow for blow with open hand strikes in the center of the ring. Morishima suddenly comes off the ropes and delivers a thunderous lariat!

Misawa came back with a roaring elbow! not once but twice..Morishima was in trouble as Misawa continued his attack pounding the champ with fists to the face...busting the nose of Morishima open..which seemed to enrage the champion who tasted his own blood!

A SAITO suplex by the champ nearly got him the victory but Misawa escaped...another SAITO suplex by the champ could not keep the challenger down.

Morishima was getting frustrated as he went to the top rope and came off looking to connect with his missile dropkick but Misawa side stepped..Morishima came crashing down onto the mat...Misawa came off the ropes and connected flush with the roaring elbow seemingly knocking the champ out cold!!!

Misawa went for the pin but Morishima some how kicked out...then with a scream of anger caught Misawa with a side suplex followed up by another SAITO SUPLEX to get the 3 count and retain the championship!"

*AS BOTH ATHLETES LAY EXHAUSTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING THE CROWD GAVE BOTH OF THEM A STANDING OVATION AS WRESTLERS CAME FROM THE BACK AND ADDED TO THE APPLAUSE OF THE FANS.....STREAMERS ONCE AGAIN FELL FROM THE CEILING AS MORISHIMA WAS HANDED THE BELT BY MISAWA AS WELL AS GETTING HIS HAND RAISED IN VICTORY*

*IF I MAY ON A PERSONAL NOT I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PROMOTERS IN THE FLW FOR HELPING ME REACH THIS MILESTONE BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU GUYS DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB IN YOUR OWN RIGHT...IT WOULD NOT PUSH ME TO CONTINUE TO BUILD TRADITION AFTER EACH AND EVERY EVENT.

SO TO ALL OF YOU THANK YOU*

FALL 2
"Davey Boy Smith took control of this match in the 2nd fall as DK was not 100% after taking that DDT from Tenzan...Smith connected with a thunderous clothesline in the corner and delivered a running powerslam onto Tenzan, while DK recovered to do a suicide dive threw the ropes knocking Chono outside to the concrete...Davey made the cover to tie the match up at 1 fall each"

FALL 3
"The deciding fall went close to 15 minutes on it's own with both teams coming up just short of victory with several near falls...the end did come when it looked as though there would be new tag team champions crowned when Chono had his STF hooked on Davey Boy in the middle of the ring!

However DK was able to reach the back of Davey when Chono was hooking in the hold...Dynamite proceeded to go to the top rope and crash head first into the back of Chono's head knocking him out cold for the victory and retain the titles!"

TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

CHRIS BENOIT defeated (C)TEKESHI MORISHIMA

"In an unbelievable turn of events...Morishima originally was to defend the title against the man that attacked him at the end of the last show TAZ who no showed the match!

Suddenly after several moments of officials discussing in the ring what to do...Chris Benoit came down into the ring and went face to face with the champion who proceeded to lift the belt over his head and hand it to the referee as the bell rang and the match is on..

Benoit went right at Morishima who was still not 100% still feeling the effects of the injuries by Taz at the end of the last show...but the champion came very close to keeping his title after hitting a side suplex and a splash from the top rope!

However the splash from the top seemed make re injure some ribs of the champion who was in more pian then the challenger after the move...Benoit quickly capitalized and went to the top rope with a diving head butt but Morishima was able to kick out after that pin attempt!
Suddenly....
Steve Corino came down to ringside...and distracted Morishima screaming between the two started and Benoit took full advantage of the distraction getting the big man up with a belly to back suplex dumping him right on the back of his head for the 3 count!"

*AFTER THE MATCH, DANIELSON SCREAMED THAT HE WAS INDEED THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD*

BISON VS. ANGLE III

"These two athletes helped shaped this promotion from the very first show nearly a year ago..and the rivalry has never deminished as Kurt Angle made his return to TRADITION a few shows back to end this fued one way or another here tonight.

The crowd was on it's feet from the moment these two got into the ring to the end..everyone wittnessed quite possibly the most physical match in this promotions history..back and fourth these two men battled for nearly 25 minutes..both getting out of the others finishing manuvers several times...Angle seemingly once again hurting his already sensitive neck by coming off the top rope right into a vicious lariat by Smith who then loooked to put the Olympic gold medalist away with a power bomb but Angle got out of it and delivered his Angle slam...slamming Bison's neck against the turnbuckle knocking him out cold to get the three count and victory"

MORISHIMA VS. CORINO NUFF' SAID

[/size][/b][/center]

IT HAPPENS...
AT THE TRADITION 1ST ANNIVERSARY SHOW

"Morishima it comes down to this...let me ask you something did you really think I was just going to disappear into the night after our last man standing match...if you did man you are more stupid then I give you credit for...I tell you what you did is you made the KING of OLD SCHOOL take a step back for a moment and put things back in prospective after that match..and now it will only end like I have said since day 1 until I say it will

This match is more about a win or loss, it's more about any title..it is about two men going into a steel cage with pure hate for each other willing to do what ever it takes to see the other man not walk out of that match.....

I have heard through the dirt sheets that Tekeshi wants to rip my limbs off my body for costing him that TRADITION Championship against Benoit...you know what I say to that good I want the big man at his most violent best...because I dont want any excuses from that piece of garbage when I leave him laying in his own pool of blood fighting for every breath because I beat him within a inch of his life....The end is near for you Morishima."

AMERICAN DRAGON CHALLENGES THE AMERICAN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST TO FIND OUT WHO IS INDEED THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

"Kurt Angle we both claim the same thing...I tend to believe I am better then you and I am sure you feel that you are better then me...well in my view let's stop all the wondering and get it done in the center of this ring..

"Ever since you came back to TRADITION the fans have been asking for it..hell even the wrestlers have been asking for it...the higher ups in this company have been trying to figure out a good storyline to put together to push a feud between us so they can make a lot of money....I say to hell with it let's do what we do best and find out who the best is...no gimmicks needed here... what do you say Olympic hero?"

"Bryan you want to find out who the best is....you do not want to wait...you want to give these people what they want...you know the old saying Bryan be careful what you wish for...in this case Dragon it is about to come true...it's real it's damn real!"

Dragon peppered Angle with stiff open hand palm strikes and several running knees to the head..and eventually stuck him with a vicious DDT...Angle however fought back in a big way connecting with a forearm shiver followed by several German suplexes ...Dragon responded with an exploder suplex..quickly right into cattle mutilation finisher...several minutes went by and Angle did not tap...however after several more minutes the referee called for the bell as Angle passed out do to the pain."

DAVID HART SMITH


The match was on and the crowd was in a frenzy...as Smith took control over David with a flurry of offense....Angelina and Lacey brawled outside the ring....David Hart Smith caught David Von Eric with a vicious northern light suplex....Angelina was just pounding on Lacey on the outside..as finally this feud between these two had reached it's boiling point.

STEVE CORINO vs. TEKESHI MORISHIMA

Simply put a pure blood bath between these two rivals for close to 15 minutes each man tried to end the career of the other..pools of blood stained the mat, the cage as I am sure you can imagine was a used as a weapon by both men...Morishima connected with a dropkick off the top rope...then splashed caving in the chest of a bloody Corino who would not quite and not stay down...despite taking two consecutive SAITO suplexes against the cage!

Corino fought back and knocked the former and longest reigning TRADITION champion Morishima almost out cold with a mule kick followed by numerous shots to the head via the cage door!

Morishima seemed to be coughing up blood as it began to trickle at a more faster rate out of his mouth...Corino followed up with a vicious shot with his fist square in the lower back to Morishima..shot after shot...Morishima out of no where connected with a hay maker and a running lariat off the ropes which looked as though knocked Corino out!

Tekeshi went for the kill and was setting up for another SAITO suplex when Corino fighting for his life dug his finger right square in the eye of his rival..digging and clawing until Morishima let go of the hold...with Morishima checking on his eye...Corino hit him with a low blow followed up by his OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION to finally beat his rival for the 3 count!"

CARD # 54

[sportstalk1975]

CREATOR AND CHAIRMAN OF TRADITION

MR. ROBERT BENNETT

"Ladies and Gentlemen thank you all for joining me today...to say that it is never dull involving one of my wrestling promotions is a drastic understatement to say the least.

There has been quite the changing of the guard and format not only for this promotion but the entire FLW in the last couple of weeks..as the other promoters and myself look to bring the FLW up to the level of excellence we all know it can reach....and with the possibility of the return of 2 familiar faces to the ranks..it is a very exciting time to say the least.

On a personal note I have found that when it comes to running a promotion..a total overhaul is not always the best solution...and a total overhaul is what I had planned (AGAIN) for this promotion...things changed when I talked yesterday in length to two very close friends involving the FLW and my promotion in general..out of those conversations made me realize that what I have had all along with this promotion TRADITION..is really all I needed..I am most proud of this promotion...I have worked hard to build this promotion from the day's of the NWA promoter group..to the LWA...the LP and now to the FLW

I remember when the FLW was formed that I told myself that I would not re start from scratch and if I did I would stop promoting..in a sense I went back on my word with the creation of the IN HONOR OF TRADITION thread..I realized that and I was not to pleased with myself after I did it...so in saying that I guess you can say it has come full circle....


I am glad to announce is back and here to stay.....this promotion will continue and I am damn happy about it...ANOTHER NAUGHTY THREESOME will continue to run every day operations...CHRIS HERO as he rightfully should be is the current Champion of the company as well as the British Bulldogs remaining and defending Tag Team Champions...with the historic 1st year anniversary show behind us what happens next...as many of the talent that was in this promotion has been retained (check the FA list thread for TRADITION'S core group)"

the next chapter of this promotion will be written on AUGUST 10TH 2010

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES.....
