Tonight New Brand Wrestling presented Spring Fever. Here are the results as provided by me, the Master Blogger.
Opening Promo: Ricky Rivers comes out dressed in Cory Diamond's gear and says, ''Shut up and show respect.'' Rivers says that he is the new face of the Soul Society. This brought out Leo London who got on the mic telling him that you are a very bad man and challenges him to a match for later that night. London says that he is done with Rivers he is done with Jones, he is this own man, but if he loses to Rivers he will come back to the group. Next, Cory Diamond comes out and says that their champion Billy Blaze was not here tonight because someone attacked him and sent him to the hospital. Diamond then says being a good friend of Billy Blaze and fellow Studs Inc. member, he is going to take out anyone until he finds out who robbed the fans of their glory.
Opening Contest: Marius vs. Cory Diamond - Marius came out to the ring sporting new gear, slapped Diamond in the face and brawled with him. Diamond put an armbar on Marius and delivered stiff rights but Marius put the boot up and delivered a Flatliner (or whatever that is called) for a 2 count. Marius delivered an elbow but Cory would recover with a bodyslam but only got a 2. Marius countered with a jawbreaker but when he went up to the top rope for a legdrop he missed. Cory countered with a DDT. and traded punches with Marius. Marius went for his Peyote Piledriver but Diamond wiggled free. In the end, Diamond got the win with a small package.
Match #2: Leo London vs. Ricky Rivers - London attacked Rivers from the opening bell and put on an armbar. He then put Rivers his signature London Bridges submission move trying to end the match quickly but Rivers countered with hard rights and a hard chop bur Leo reversed the chop back and delivered a Hangman's Rolling Elbow. Ricky and Leo traded armbars but Leo delivered a Russian Leg Sweep and got a 2. London tried to suplex Rivers but Ricky would reverse it and deliver a legdrop for a 2. Leo delivered in my opinion 2 perfectly executed Mexican armdrags followed by an armbar submission but Ricky delivered a backkick. London put Ricky Rivers in the London Bridges submission ending the match.
Match #3: ''The Rebel'' Bobby Collins vs. ''Misfit'' Mike Mission - Collins came to the ring accompanied by his tag team partner Dirty Dick Walker. Mission countered with an armbar. Referee Rocky Augustino told Dirty Dick to go back to leave ringside and that there would be no interferance in this match. Collins and Mission chased each other around ringside. Back in the ring, The Rebel countered with a boot to Mission's head and started biting the Misfit on the forehead followed by a rake to the back. Mike and Bobby traded lefts and rights. The Rebel then tossed the Misfit to the outside and bodyslammed him on the floor. Back in the ring, Collins' tag team partner Dirty Dick Walker arrived on the scene risking a disqualification. Just as it looked like Mission was done, Leo London came out to make the save.
Intermission: Several wrestlers came out to sign autographs.
Promo #2: The Great Pepito sporting purple tights, came out and got on the mic saying it was great to be back in N.B.W. He goes on to say that he is the #1 contender to the tag team titles and he will get them back if he can find a partner. Out came Madman Muir from the back and delivered a neckbreaker to Pepito.
Match #4 - Pepito & Shadow Xtreme vs. Madman Muir and Samuel - Pepito and Samuel got the match started with Samuel gaining the upper hand. Pepito recovered with blows to the back of Samuel's head, but Samuel countered with a bodyslam before tagging in Muir who starting biting Pepito's head. While referee Rocky Augustino's back was turned, Samuel choked Pepito with the tag rope and Muir choked Pepito some more but Pepito recovered with a jawbreaker before tagging in Shadow who delivered a roundhouse kick to Samuel followed by stiff rights but Samuel recovered with a clothesline before tagging in Muir. The match spilled to the outside, while back in the ring Samuel tried to whack Pepito with a chair but Pepito moved out of the way before tagging in Shadow Xtreme who delivered several moves to Samuel but Samuel recovered. Xtreme delivered a dropkick to Madman before tagging in Pepito who delivered a cross bodyblock for the W meaning win.
Match #5 - Marc Merric vs. Cory Diamond - Merric offered a handshale but Cory refused. Cory delivered a hard chop to Marc but Marc would recover with a snapmare as well as a superkick and a suplex but Diamond delivered a suplex of his own but only got a 2 count. Merric delivered hard rights and a jumping knee. Cory would recover, Merric would deliver a knee but in the end Cory gave Merric a Death Valley Driver for the win.
Match #6 - Tag Team Title Match - Leo London & ''Misfit'' Mike Mission vs. ''The Rebel'' Bobby Collins and Dirty Dick Walker - London delivered a dropkick to Walker as well as an armbar before tagging in Mission. Walker tagged The Rebel who delivered blows to the head of the Misfit. Walker countered with a shoulderblock and several other moves before tagging in Collins who delivered a stiff uppercut. Collins delivered blows to the back before tagging in the Dirty One but the Misfit recovered with a double clothesline to both Walker and Collins before tagging in Leo.

Random Thoughts By The Master Blogger Part 1
Before I start to write this blog, I am not going to start with mind games, I just want to talk about the facts that have been going on inside my head for the past few days. So if I seem like I am stepping on someone's toes, I am deeply sorry. Over the past few days, I've had some thinking that I have had to do. You see, on May 8th, CWE will be at a place called Rockbar for what could be the end of the CWE (I surely hope not). The main event will be a 10 man war games between Team CWE (''Hotshot'' Danny Duggan, Zack Mercury, AJ Sanchez, Darren ''The Bomb'' Dalton and a mystery partner) taking on the Alliance of Defiance (CWE Heavyweight Champion Mentallo, TJ Bratt, ''Pissed Off Pitbull'' and one half of the CWE tag team champions Robby Royce, Sabertooth and Moses Luke).
Now some of you are probably wondering why I have been thinking, well it's simple. You see the losing team will cease to exist and what does that mean for the future of CWE? At this point I do not know. The only way to find out is to go to the show on May 8th. Fact.
Now I also got to thinking that with WFX completly gone, and River City Wrestling hanging in the balance, where can the Master Blogger (by the way that is me) do his reviews. By the way, for those of you who might be reading this, Wayne Stanton read my CWE results from the last show and said that I do the best reviews of all the shows I go to, very in detail and very positive. Fact.
TJ Bratt in my opinion is one of the most successful managers in CWE, just saying. He and I have had our ins and outs but we have a mutual respect between us. I know how good he is at what he does and he knows how good I am at what I do. Heck, I just finished watching the best of TJ Bratt DVD and thought it was fantastic. Also fact.
A couple days on Facebook, I got a response from Mentallo saying: What a great gift for yourself, tickets to the destruction of CWE. We might change the name to Canadian Wrestling Extreme when we're finished. Will CWE be no longer in business? Should the Master Blogger keep blogging his reviews or throw in the towel? No. Maybe. I am going to leave that up to the readers.
To be continued in Part 2.

CWE Calm Before The Storm Results
Tonight CWE (Canadian Wrestling's Elite) presented Calm Before The Storm at the Maples Community Centre. Now originally this event was scheduled for the Vince Leah Community Centre but because the demand for tickets was so high, they had to move the event to Maples. But enough jaw jacking, it's time to give the results so that's what the Master Blogger (you know that's me) is going to do.
Opening Contest 3 Way Match Matt Fairlane vs. AJ Sanchez vs ''Red Hot'' Ryan Wood - Before the opening bell Woody got on the mic and said that each member in the crowd were sun tanned supermen (including yours truly). All 3 men collar elbowed and both Woody and Fairlane press-slammed AJ. Fairlane put an armbar on Woody but Red Hot recovered with a moonsault but missed. Matt went up to the top but Sanchez pulled his leg and delivered a superplex of his own. AJ irishwhipped Woody into the corner turnbuckle, but Ryan put the boot up and delivered an elbow and choked him with the knee.

This prompted Rapper to tag Rich who was on fire with JJ. The match went back and forth and forth and back but in the end JJ Sanchez and Big Cliff got the W.
Post-Match: JJ Sanchez got on the mic and said that last show some idiot in the back brought Daisy May flowers and demanded that whoever it was come out to the ring and get a beating. Sanchez then turns to Hump and asks was it you?! This led to Sanchez and Cliff turning on Hump.
Match #3 - 123approved.ca Open Rules Title - ''Beautiful'' Bobby Jay & ''Pimp Daddy'' Rick Matthews vs ''The Brickhouse'' Paul Arcidi - This match was under handicap rules.

However, the Brickhouse would recover with a double spear, a backdrop, a clothesline and a double noggin knocker. As Arcidi set up The Beautiful One for the Alabama Slam, Matthews delivered a Death Valley Driver as both men had won the belt which left me scratching my head in confusement.
Match #4 - Zack Mercury & ''Hotshot'' Danny Duggan vs. Alliance Of Defiance - TJ Bratt made his way to the ring saying he fired both J.P. Kaos and Antonio Scorpio Jr. and replaced them with 2 of the biggest men in Winnipeg wrestling. Those 2 men being The German Juggernaut Moses Luke and Sabertooth.

Chevy gave Blaze his own Blaze of Glory (I think), went up top but was stopped by Billy who delivered a kick to the back as well as a piledriver on the chair.

Columnist's Corner With ''Playboy'' Will Damon
Master Blogger: Welcome to the Columnist's Corner and I am your host, The Master Blogger. You have been doing it to me all week like the clappers (laughs). Now it is time to get to today's guest. My guest this week, is a man with awesome microphone skills, a man who is worth the price of admission at a PCW event, a man who is even more awesome than the Miz, a man who defied the odds and ended Kenny Omega's long running PCW Title reign at the 9 Year Anniversary Show, I can only be talking about one man in particular and he is your new PCW Heavyweight Champion, ''Playboy'' Will Damon. Welcome to the show Playboy or should I say champ.
Will Damon: Thanks brother.
Master Blogger: You're quite welcome. Now for my first question, some of my readers are not as familiar with you as they are my other guests that I have had on the show. So can you give some of my readers a little brief history of how you broke in, who your major influences were, a little brief history of Playboy Will Damon.
Will Damon: Yes - I had been away from the squared circle for quite some time, but like most guys who leave the business for a while, that itch always comes up, so here I am yet again. For those who have yet to hear the name 'Playboy' Will Damon, I broke into the business in the summer of 1999 via Don Callis' (The Natural/The Jackyl/Cyrus) first ever No Hold's Barred Wrestling Academy. I feel very fortunate to have been able to study the craft under the wing of such an intelligent individual who had so much REAL experience in the business, which is hard to find anywhere, never mind in Winnipeg.
Don was of course a direct influence, but if you're referring to whom I was influenced by growing up watching pro-wrestling, it'd have to be any performer who was flashy, had a larger-than-life personality and presence and who were great on the mic. I also appreciated those performers who didn't have to do too much in-ring but still got the biggest reaction from the crowd. That, in itself, is what I've always believed this business is about. That is how it should be. That's what makes someone a great performer. Working smart instead of working overly hard is something I've always been about, and anyone who has seen my matches can see that I'm sure. Don't get me wrong - I more than appreciate those performers who do crazy $#!% in the ring and the fans definitely respond, but I think if every performer had that style and if there were no personality to the business, pro-wrestling wouldn't be the attraction it is. Wrestling has always been about the personalities, plain and simple.
Master Blogger: How would you compare PCW to other promotions?
Will Damon: I'm not sure it's so much a comparison thing in the sense that I don't believe promotions should necessarily be 'compared' to eachother. I think the better way to go about looking at the talent pool and sports entertainment products in Winnipeg would be to look at them individually and at what they each offer, because each promotion offers something unique.
I won't go into my thoughts on each promotion as it would become very long-winded, and I'm not one for talking much (sarcasm intended). What I believe PCW offers and what I love most about it is that it's a more adult-oriented product which I believe wrestling fans are starving for now that WWE produces their product for a younger demographic.
PCW offers attitude-era-esque story lines and performances whereas the enveloppe is pushed a little more, which is an ideal platform for my character given its' brashness.
What I also love about PCW is its' fans. Everyone in a PCW crowd is there because they are a wrestling fan, and therefore you get sincere reactions from the PCW crowd. There are other promotions who, although they may draw more on a regular basis, have crowds full of young girls who are just there because they're friends with the performers or because they want to see good looking, jacked-up dudes in tights and without shirts on, but at the end of the day could care less about the business itself and who are far from authentic wrestling fans.
Lastly, but certainly not least, I've always had and always will have immense respect and a soft spot for PCW. I had a hand in its' conception which is something I'll always be very proud of, but more importantly, PCW raised the bar of the Winnipeg wrestling scene in 2002 and every other promotion that has been conceived thereafter, and every single indy wrestling fan in Winnipeg has PCW to thank.
Master Blogger: Now let me ask you this Will Damon, how did it feel to become PCW Heavyweight Champion for the first time?
Will Damon: It was a great segment and the fans ate it up. That's what's most important. Everyone involved was very happy with how it unfolded and how the crowd reacted. Because of this, it felt great. It was a lot of fun to do and was an honour doing the segment with someone as talented and successful in this business as Kenny Omega.
Master Blogger: Very well said, however now that you are PCW Heavyweight Champion, there is going to be a lot of guys on that roster that will coming for that title. Do you have a message for all those guys waiting in line for a title shot?
Will Damon: Heh, heh...yeah I have a message, and the message is this: the Player's Club is open 24/7, but don't be pissed if you get thrown out onto the street with my foot up your @$$ and my fist in your mouth. Similarily, don't get upset when after you get your @$$ up and dust yourself off, you peak through the window and see me making out with your sister. After all, Playboy isn't just a name - it's the way it is.
Master Blogger: (laughing histerically) Any final comments to your fans?
Will Damon: Absolutely, but for all PCW fans. I've said it many times before so it may sound redundant at this point, but without you, there is no PCW. All it would be is a bunch of dudes in weird attire throwing eachother around. So once again, I sincerely thank you.
It's the fans that make pro-wrestling. It's the fans that dictate what transpires in pro-wrestling, and I'm not just talking about PCW now - I'm referring to the entire sports entertainment industry. Without the fans, there is no product. I wish everyone understood and appreciated that.
I also want to thank you specifically, Jimmy. I hope you don't mind me calling you Jimmy. Jimmy's get laid. James' don't, so I hope for your sake that you're a Jimmy. But back to my thank you - guys like you who not only have sincere interest and appreciation for what us wrestlers do but who also go out of their way to write about our performances, characters and create things such as this blog you've brought to life, should be much more appreciated by sports entertainers...especially on the indy level. The fact that you give a @$&! enough to support us like this really means a lot, brother. So thank you as well.
Will Damon: Thanks brother.
Master Blogger: You're quite welcome. Now for my first question, some of my readers are not as familiar with you as they are my other guests that I have had on the show.

Will Damon: I'm not sure it's so much a comparison thing in the sense that I don't believe promotions should necessarily be 'compared' to eachother. I think the better way to go about looking at the talent pool and sports entertainment products in Winnipeg would be to look at them individually and at what they each offer, because each promotion offers something unique.
I won't go into my thoughts on each promotion as it would become very long-winded, and I'm not one for talking much (sarcasm intended). What I believe PCW offers and what I love most about it is that it's a more adult-oriented product which I believe wrestling fans are starving for now that WWE produces their product for a younger demographic.
PCW offers attitude-era-esque story lines and performances whereas the enveloppe is pushed a little more, which is an ideal platform for my character given its' brashness.
What I also love about PCW is its' fans. Everyone in a PCW crowd is there because they are a wrestling fan, and therefore you get sincere reactions from the PCW crowd. There are other promotions who, although they may draw more on a regular basis, have crowds full of young girls who are just there because they're friends with the performers or because they want to see good looking, jacked-up dudes in tights and without shirts on, but at the end of the day could care less about the business itself and who are far from authentic wrestling fans.
Lastly, but certainly not least, I've always had and always will have immense respect and a soft spot for PCW. I had a hand in its' conception which is something I'll always be very proud of, but more importantly, PCW raised the bar of the Winnipeg wrestling scene in 2002 and every other promotion that has been conceived thereafter, and every single indy wrestling fan in Winnipeg has PCW to thank.
Master Blogger: Now let me ask you this Will Damon, how did it feel to become PCW Heavyweight Champion for the first time?
Will Damon: It was a great segment and the fans ate it up. That's what's most important. Everyone involved was very happy with how it unfolded and how the crowd reacted. Because of this, it felt great. It was a lot of fun to do and was an honour doing the segment with someone as talented and successful in this business as Kenny Omega.
Master Blogger: Very well said, however now that you are PCW Heavyweight Champion, there is going to be a lot of guys on that roster that will coming for that title. Do you have a message for all those guys waiting in line for a title shot?
Will Damon: Heh, heh...yeah I have a message, and the message is this: the Player's Club is open 24/7, but don't be pissed if you get thrown out onto the street with my foot up your @$$ and my fist in your mouth. Similarily, don't get upset when after you get your @$$ up and dust yourself off, you peak through the window and see me making out with your sister. After all, Playboy isn't just a name - it's the way it is.
Master Blogger: (laughing histerically) Any final comments to your fans?
Will Damon: Absolutely, but for all PCW fans. I've said it many times before so it may sound redundant at this point, but without you, there is no PCW. All it would be is a bunch of dudes in weird attire throwing eachother around. So once again, I sincerely thank you.
It's the fans that make pro-wrestling. It's the fans that dictate what transpires in pro-wrestling, and I'm not just talking about PCW now - I'm referring to the entire sports entertainment industry. Without the fans, there is no product. I wish everyone understood and appreciated that.
I also want to thank you specifically, Jimmy. I hope you don't mind me calling you Jimmy. Jimmy's get laid. James' don't, so I hope for your sake that you're a Jimmy. But back to my thank you - guys like you who not only have sincere interest and appreciation for what us wrestlers do but who also go out of their way to write about our performances, characters and create things such as this blog you've brought to life, should be much more appreciated by sports entertainers...especially on the indy level. The fact that you give a @$&! enough to support us like this really means a lot, brother. So thank you as well.
Master Blogger: Well Champ, after hearing those words, I just want to say first off, yes you can call me Jimmy. Second, you are right this blog that I have created should be much more appreciated by wrestlers on the indy circuit. Thank you for your time and you are welcome to come back anytime.
Will Damon: No worries brother.
Well folks, as I always say here on the Columnist's Corner, in the meantime and in between time, that's it for another edition of the Columnist's Corner. Tune in next time when my guest will be Buddy Wiser.

River City Wrestling Results For Saturday April 2
http://jamestuchscherer.blogspot.com/
Today River City Wrestling returned to the corner of Logan and Lizzie. Now this is their final pre-show before they move to community centres. But enough of this jibber jabber it's time to give the results as provided by none other than yours truly, the Master Blogger.
Opening Promo: Dirty Dick Walker cuts a promo saying there is a dude backstage talking trash about me and his name is Vinnie Valiant. Walker goes on to challenge Valiant to a match later that afternoon. Vinnie comes out and says: ''I accept.''
Opening Match: ''Misfit'' Mike Mission vs. Leo London - London attacked Mission with a kendo stick before the opening bell with a kendo stick. After Leo tossed The Misfit into the ring starting the match, he went for his finishing hold known as the Cattle Mutilation trying to end the match quickly but the Misfit grabbed the ropes. Mission countered with an armbar into an armlock but Leo would reverse it. The Misfit then countered with a headlock but Leo delivered a bridge and slapped Mission across the face. London delivered a boot to the chest. Mission recovered with a figure four leglock but London put his hand on the ropes. The match went back and forth with Mission hitting his signature Mission Statement DDT for a 2. London came back and hit his Hangman's Rolling Elbow also for a 2. While referee Rocky Augustino wasn't looking, Leo put his feet on the ropes to get the 3 count.
Match #2: Madman Muir (accompanied by Laurence Fozzworth III) vs. The Great Pepito - Muir countered earlier in the match with a rake to the eyes followed by a chokehold and a bodyslam. Pepito would fire back with rapid shots but Muir caught him off guard. Fozzworth handed Muir a foreign object (I won't say what it was) who used it to jab Pepito. On the outside Madman Muir rammed Pepito's head into the ring post but The Great One recovered with chops and 10 punches to Muir's head. Pepito delivered a splash from the top rope but Muir grabbed the ropes as referee Rocky Augustino made the count. In the end, after Laurence Fozzworth III grabbed Muir's leg by accident, Pepito got the W with a rollup.
Match #3 Marius (accompanied by Lord Damien Wolfstein) vs. Shawn Northstar - As Marius made his way to the ring, I said ''Finally business has picked up.'' Shawn countered with a headlock as well as a shoulderblock but Marius would deliver a mic-check (or whatever that move is) for a 2 count. Marius would then deliver a rake to the eyes and a Russian leg sweep but when he went for a top rope legdrop, Northstar rolled out of the way who then delivered a clothesline and 2 Avalanches but only got a 2 count. When referee Rocky Augustino wasn't looking, Marius got the win via submission. After the match, Marius cut a promo saying ''I came here to RCW not to face that guy (Northstar) oh no, I have a plan''.
Weasel's Den with Laurence Fozzworth III - It was time for Laurence Fozzworth III to do his interview segment the Weasel's Den (but dear readers, we all know that my interview segment entitled The Columnist's Corner is much, much better lol) he brought out Mike Mission who says that he is tired of Leo London cheating and says that he and London will settle this at Norquay and pulls out a kendo stick wrapped in barbed wire.
Match #4 - Reggie Gallagher vs Buddy Wiser - Earlier in the match fans chanted ''Reggie sucks!!''. A collar elbow tie up backed Reggie to the corner, this caused Gallagher to almost walk out of the match. Back in the ring, Reginald delivered hard rights but Buddy recovered and brought Reggie in the hard way however, Gallagher delivered a low blow followed by a punt and choked Wiser on the outside. Back in the ring, Reggie delivered repeated ax handles to the back of Buddy and told referee Augustino to shut up. Buddy would set up Gallagher for a chokeslam but Reggie managed to step aside and deliver a clothesline from hell for the W. which caused my brother to say ''that's bullshit'' but I did not think it was.
Match #5 - ''Dirty'' Dick Walker vs. Vinnie Valiant - This match was made earlier in the afternoon. Valiant was accompanied by Leah Maria Maivia. Maivia slapped Walker across the face who became an easy target for Valiant with hard rights, chops, a monkey flip, a sunset flip and a dropkick. Dirty Dick recovered, tripped up Vinnie and went to work on the leg but Valiant recovered with a schoolboy but only got a 2 count. Walker continued to work on Vinnie with a halfcrab and a superkick but Vinnie would recover with a heelkick to the chest as well as a crucifix into a sunset flip but Dick gave him a poke to the eyes and clotheslined him for good measure. Vinnie countered with a dropkick but only got a 1 count. In the end however, Vinnie managed to put the Dirty One away with a 450 splash.
Impromptu Battle Royal - After the match Marius delivered a Peyote Piledriver to Vinnie. (my best friend Adam would have loved that) This caused the locker room to empty for an impromptu battle royal which Pepito won last eliminating Madman Muir.
