Tonight New Brand Wrestling is back at the Ellice Theater and it is a tournament to crown a new New Brand Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. But that's not all that's back. I, the mysterious Master Blogger is back at it covering the New Brand results. But you readers, you already know that. Now usually, the shows start at 7:00 p.m. sharp, but tonight for some reason they started at 7:15 p.m. go figure. But hey I got a few high-fives from Billy Blaze, Rocky Augustino, and ''The Rebel'' Bobby Collins (yes fellow readers, even when they are a heel, they love me LOL). Now I'm going to cut all this funny stuff and get to the card.
Opening promo: Ricky Rivers comes out saying that he is back for revenge and gold. Rivers then gets interrupted by Mr. Milton Jones (manager for the Soul Society) who tells Rivers that his client Ichigo Yagami (formerly Ryuzaki Light and Yami Light) is going to defeat Rivers and become the new NBW Heavyweight Champion so he should forfeit his match. Many fans, even yours truly chanted Kick his @$$.
Opening Match: Ricky Rivers vs Ichigo Yagami - Earlier in the match, Rivers cross arm bared the leader of the Soul Society but Ichigo reversed it. Ricky reversed it again but this time, Ichigo put him in a headlock, followed by a shoulderblock. A hiptoss was followed by Rivers which led to Yagami chopping Rivers repeatedly 3 times. Repeated back elbows by Ichigo was followed by Ricky Rivers clotheslining Yagami but Ichigo put Ricky in a surfboard. Yagami stiff-kicks Ricky which is followed up by 2 shoulders, a backflip and a flying elbow and I loved it!!!. Just as it looked like Rivers was going to win, Milton Jones distracted Rivers and Yagami delivered a stiff elbow for the W. After the match Ricky Rivers was forced to join the Soul Society which I did not get.
Tournament Match #1: Vinnie Valliant vs. ''The Great'' Pepito - In the first round of the heavyweight title tournament Vinnie Valliant took on one half of the N.B.W. tag team champions, Pepito. Both men shook hands before the match as both men are considered fan favorites. Earlier in the bout, Valliant delivered a perfectly executed neckbreaker and got only a 2 count. Vinnie delivered an elbow and stiff kicked Pepito. Vinnie then went for his 450 splash but Pepito moved out of the way. Pepito delivered a knee to the back and put Valliant in a cross armbar but Vinnie recovered and put Pepito in a jackknife (not the powerbomb) for a 2 count. Vinnie slammed Pepito and delivered his 450 splash to advance to round 2 of the tournament.
Match #3: ''Dirty'' Dick Walker vs. ''Bad Boy'' Buddy Wiser - This match was a contest between formerly one half of the most dangerous tag team in independent wrestling: The Reservoir Dogs and the 18 year veteran. Earlier in the match, Dick said he needed to take a time out to think which led to the referee counting. A collar-elbow tie-up led to Wiser shoving his opponent to the canvas. Dirty Dick put Bad Boy Buddy in a headlock and tried to take him down with a shoulderblock but to no avail. Walker delivered repeated elbows to Buddy's head and did a showboat dance for good measure. Buddy recovered and put Dirty Dick in a sunset flip but it was only a 2 count. Back in the ring, Walker choked Wiser with his boot and dropkicked Buddy into the turnbuckle which would be followed by repeated elbows and a chokehold. But Wiser recovered and delivered a vicious clothesline but Dirty Dick delivered one of his own for the 1-2-3.
Intermission: several wrestlers came out to sign autographs, I got a high five from Ichigo Yagami and Milton Jones before I went to the canteen to get a slice of pizza and a Coke.
Tournament Match #2: Zamil vs. Vinny Valliant - Vinnie already beat Pepito and was now attempting to move on to the next round. Zamil slapped Vinnie but Vinnie delivered a slap of his own and put the Z-Man in in armbar but then the hypnotist put Vinnie in a headlock and delivered a monkey flip for good measure, but Valliant put Zamil in a modified crossface followed by a cradle but only got a 2 count. Zamil delivered a leg through move and put pressure on Vinnie's leg but Vinnie recovered with an insiguri kick to the Z-Man's head but Zamil recovered and delivered a vicious chop. Vinny tried many things on Zamil: a schoolboy, a crusifix, even a small package but to no avail could get a 3 count. Zamil tried a splash from the second rope but was met with a boot. In the end, Zamil clocked Valliant with his cell phone for the win.
Impromptu Match: Billy Blaze vs Ichigo Yagami - Prior to this tournament match, The Soul Society leader came out and cut a promo saying ''This is my show and this is my title, so get me anyone from the back.'' Out came Billy Blaze. Earlier in the match Yagami delivered an elbow to Blaze and tried repeated pins but got 2 counts each time. Ichigo put Billy in a sleeper but Blaze recovered and delivered an incredible back suplex. Yagami repeatedly stomped Blaze and said ''Stay Down!!!''. The Soul Society leader delivered 3 shoulders, a backflip followed by an elbow, but Billy recovered and trapped Ichigo Yagami in the Blaze Of Glory but only got a 2 count. Yagami put Billy in a tarantula but Billy recovered and put The Soul Society leader in a move that I am going to call The Exclamation Point to move on to the finals.
Mid-Canada Title Match - Bobby Collins vs Daemon Marxx - At the last show, The Rebel added New Brand gold to his resume by winning a battle royal. Tonight he put his title on the line against the larger Daemon Marxx. Earlier in the match, Marxx delivered a perfectly executed suplex to the Rebel but Collins reovered and with repeated kicks I said to myself ''Now that's the Bobby Collins I remember watching!!''. Marxx would recover and give Bobby a vicious shoulderbreaker to the ropes but only got a 2 count. The Rebel then bit the forehead of the challenger and choked him for good measure. Marxx gave the champ a knee to the head and with a superkick sent Daemon crashing like a tree struck by lightning. Collins then put Marxx in his armbar tapout for the W. It took several people to pull the champ off of the challenger including the canteen guy.
Main Event Tournament Final: Zamil vs. Billy Blaze - Zamil came to the ring with a crutch but Blaze pulled a Stop sign from under the ropes. This match was a no disqualification match. Earlier in the match, Zamil delivered a legdrop to Blaze on the ropes and tried to whack Billy with the Stop sign but Blaze ducked and took it to the Hypnotist. The Z-Man recocered and delivered a headbutt to the breadbasket. Billy recovers and brings the Stop sign into the ring and crutch and whacks Zamil saying if I recall correctly ''That's for trying to mess with my testicles'' LOL. Zamil recovered eventually and whacked Billy back but Billy delivered a suplex and then went up to the top rope for an elbow but the Z-Man moved out of the way. Zamil went up for a moonsault and Blaze moved out of the way. Billy then delivered a jumping kick to the Z-Man's head but when he went for a second, he hit the referee instead. Zamil tried to whack Blaze with a guitar but Blaze ducked, whacked the Z-Man with the guitar for the W, and Billy Blaze was your New Brand Wrestling heavyweight champion.
Next show will be March 26th but I will be blogging the CWE show on March 4th. Until then, 2 things never forget, Keep Reading and always always, Be Champions!!!

Columnist's Corner With Louis Hendrickson
http://jamestuchscherer.blogspot.com/
Master Blogger: Welcome to the very first edition of the Columnist's Corner and I am your host with the most, The Master Blogger. My very first guest, is a man who needs no introduction, a man who is greater than great. Some of you refer to this man as The Weasel but I refer to him as the Manager Of Champions, he is the Vice President of New Brand Wrestling, Louis Hendrickson. Welcome to the Columnist's Corner, Manager of Champions.
Louis Hendrickson: No problem.
Master Blogger: My first question is can you tell some of the readers just how you broke into the business.
Louis Hendrickson: I broke in back in 1999 at Chalmer's as the clean-up crew and tear down crew security thanks to Caveman Broda the legend, and he set up a meeting with Mr. R.C.W.
Master Blogger: How would you compare New Brand Wrestling to other promotions?
Louis Hendrickson: New Brand Wrestling is okay with guys like Diamond and Bobby Collins, Mike Mission, Buddy Wiser and other guys. Veterans work the shows. The difference is CWE is way more serious and the set up is very good and professional looking not like N.B.W. I'm waiting for R.C.W. to make their return to the business. They will show New Brand Wrestling how to do it and completely embarrass them without even trying. The new R.C.W. will be #1 in no time at all. The strobe lights and set up will be awesome and the crew will too. I have a surprise for everyone very soon. PCW is okay they have some awesome guys too like The Outlaw Adam Knight. WFX is Jeff Dyck's baby and Mike Davidson's.
Master Blogger: I was at the last show, and I along with many fans could not believe the then-GM Cory Diamond was stripped of his General Manager duties. Talk about how he was removed as GM.
Louis Hendrickson: It was a conflict of intrest. He was wrestling and held back General Manager duties. We worked that angle together. He is better as a wrestler.
Master Blogger: On March 5th, River City Wrestling is going to make its big comeback at the Salvation Army Centre on Logan Avenue. What are your thoughts of RCW re-opening its doors?
Louis Hendrickson: They are going to kick some butt and become #1 in no time. River City Wrestling really is the heart and soul of local wrestling. We used to have so much fun with our shows and Wayne Stanton is the greatest promoter in town and I'm not saying this to kiss his butt but it is true. The first show on March 5th is giving back to the neighborhood. Then on March 19th they will embarass New Brand Wrestling and Canadian Classic Wrestling. Next question.
Master Blogger: When people think of great managers in wrestling, they think of Bobby Collins, they think of Dave Levinsky, they think of Lynn Adams, Shalamar Santana, The Baroness and many others, but most of all they think of you because you provided that entertainment that brought the fans to you so my question is when someone comes up to you and says you are the greatest manager of all time, what does that mean to you looking back on your career?
Louis Hendrickson: I feel very honored and respected to be in the same calibre as the others. I have a suprise very soon so stay tuned. Lynn Adams is a very good friend and I am asking to get her back but with R.C.W.
Master Blogger: I will definitly stay tuned. Now for my next question, if I could take a look at the list of people you have managed in your time and I am not going to name all of them but just a few from the likes of Madman Muir who by the way has signed with R.C.W., Silverstreak 2000, Plumber Lou Dooley who would later become Carver Gleason, Ox Anderson who became DOOM in SPW, Paul Arcidi, Dirty Doug Irwin and Jay Lanza just to name a few so my question is who were you the proudest to say I managed this person out of all the guys you managed in your time in RCW, who was the guy or guys you can look back and say I did the best stuff with him we had some great times together?
Louis Hendrickson: All of them but truthfully, Ox and Madman Muir were the greatest times of all and Carver Gleason. I would manage the crappiest guys and make them shine. Next question.
Master Blogger: Any final comments to all the great wrestling fans?
Louis Hendrickson: Stay tuned for a special serious announcement from me soon. Stay tuned to the old N.B.W. hotline soon. Number is 786-5000 ext. #1667. I love the wrestling fans and go out and support R.C.W. at all their shows. I will be there March 5th in the audience.
Master Blogger: Louis, it has been a pleasure talking to you for blogspot.com. Thank you for your time.
Louis Hendrickson: Anytime.
That is it for this edition of the Columnist's Corner . In my next edition, I will be talking to River City Wrestling star and current N.B.W. tag team champion, The Great Pepito.

CWE Results For Friday February 4th
http://jamestuchscherer.blogspot.com/
Tonight the Master Blogger is back at it with my first report for February as tonight CWE (Canadian Wrestling's Elite) presented their 2 Year Anniversary Show entitled Do or Die at Vince Leah Community Centre. Lots of great independent wrestling action so now I, the mysterious Master Blogger will cut to the chase and go through each match.
Opening Contest - A 3-Way Match for the CWE tag team titles between Team Impact (Robby Royce and ATM), The Strip N'Dales (Bobby Fox and Matt Fairlane) and the champions ''Big'' Cliff Corleone and JJ Sanchez. TJ Bratt gets on the mic and demanded that the people in the Vince Leah Community Centre show him some respect. Sanchez and Corleone come out with of course Hump and Daisy May. Royce slapped Sanchez accross the face and I, the mysterious Master Blogger said to myself, That's the Robby Royce I remember. Royce tags in ATM and then Fairlane tags himself in on JJ, Bratt tripped up Fairlane from the outside which caused the reff to send him back to the dressing room (total and utter BS). Fox then went for a top rope legdrop onto ATM (no love lost between these 2 teams). Fairlane delivered a spinebuster to Robby Royce, as this was happening Fox was beat up on the outside by Corleone and company. Royce superplexed Fox who sandwiched everybody on the outside of the ring. As Fairlane turned around, a mysterious woman came through the crowd and kicked Fairlane in the breadbasket allowing Team Impact to get the W. and become the new CWE tag team champions. Now I don't know who this woman was. Many suspect that was Lacey from PCW but I don't know. After the match Fairlane took out his frustrations and tried to whack Daisy May with a chair but instead whacked Hump.
Match 2: North End Street Fight - JP Kaos & Antonio Scorpio Jr. vs Boyz In Da Hood (Brian Rich and Scotty Rapper) - Scorpio and Kaos representing the Alliance Of Defiance (AOD) took on the returning Boyz in Da Hood. Rich and Rapper came through the crowd (Rich was sporting new gear). Rich used a spray can in Scorpio's eyes. Blinded Anton was an easy target for the Boyz. But Scorpio recovered and delivered a thunderous suplex to Scotty. While Kaos choked Rapper, Bratt yelled ''You guys are morons here in Winnipeg.'' Rich and Rapper then delivered a double flying clothesline to Scorpio, but the former PCW Champion recovered and dropped Rich on his head with the jumping tombstone piledriver to get the win for the AOD. Just as it looked like Scorpio was about to drop Rapper on his head, out from the back came Zack Mercury who got on the mic saying ''You stay right there Scorpio I am not done with you yet. The only way to make an impact is to prove yourself and challenges Scorpio for March at Cowboy's. Bratt then says We will discuss the contract and get back to you.
Match #3 - 123 Approved .ca Dog Collar Title match - For months Pimp Daddy Rick Matthews had been decking and dodging and cheating his way to get victories over Paul Arcidi but this time there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Matthews was sporting new gear but refused to wear the dog collar until later in the match. Arcidi used the chain on Matthews and delivered an awesome gorilla press slam and then repeatedly hit the Pimp Daddy with the chain on the back (ouch). Matthews recovered and used his cane to whack Arcidi. Arcidi at some point in the match used the chain to open up The Pimp Daddy on the head. Hey sorry, but the Master Blogger did say there was going to be blood and he meant it. After a hard fought battle, The Brickhouse used the Alabama Slam to pin Matthews and become the new 123Approved.ca Hardcore Champion.
Match #4 - Ladder Match where the winner got a contract to face any champion he wished, Tyler Colton vs. ''Mr TLC'' Tommy Lee Curtis vs. ''Misfit'' Mike Mission vs. Billy Blaze vs. Kevy Chevy vs. ''Beautiful'' Bobby Jay - Blaze and Chevy went after each other right away. Two former tag team partners, they used to call themselves The Creebirds. Billy Blaze grabbed the ladder earlier in the match and speared Chevy after setting the ladder up but Kevy recovered and whipped Billy into the ladder. TLC then grabbd the ladder and started to climb up only to be pushed off by Bobby Jay. Bobby went up only to get pantsed by Blaze and gave Chevy a stink face.
Jay dropkicked the Misfit and did a cartwheel for good measure. Blaze went up the ladder only to get pulled down by Tyler. Jay set up the ladder and delivered what I thought was an amazing Beauty Buster to Colton. Chevy then suplexed Jay, Billy pushes both The Misfit and Chevy off the ladder. Colton and Curtis both went up the ladder and started arguing amongst themselves which caused the contract to fall. Meanwhile The Beautiful One delivered a Tower Of Doom to the others. Bobby set up the ladder but gets whacked by Kevy Chevy and also whacks Mike with it, Colton wins the match after the contract fell which my brother was confused.
Match 5 - Heavyweight Title Match - Mentallo vs ''Hotshot'' Danny Duggan: Before the match got started Duggan cuts a promo saying thank you to all the fans for letting us do what we always do. Both men shook hands during the match as both men have to be considered fan favorites (or so I thought). Earlier in the match both men exchanged lefts and rights, Mentallo dropkicked Danny but Duggan backflips Mentallo over the top rope and both men exchanged chops on the outside but Duggan recovered and delivered three chops of his own before slingshotting the champ into the steel ring post. Later on, both men fought into the audience where Mentallo delivered a perfectly executed moonsault bodypress on Duggan. During this part of the match the AOD came out to watch so I figured ''Okay something's going on here''.
Back in the ring, Mentallo delivered three stiff kicks to Danny and put him in a half Boston Crab. Mentallo then delivered a suplex but Hotshot kicked out at two. The champ then delivered a brainbuster suplex to the challenger followed by a moonsault. Danny recovered and trapped Mentallo in a DDT but it was only a two count. Then the AOD interfered and attacked Danny Duggan. Mentallo just sat back and I was like ''What are you doing? Anyway, the Alliance Of Defiance interfeed and cost Danny Duggan the CWE Heavyweight Title causing Mentallo to win which my brother said was another bullshit ending. This was Danny's glorious moment. A chance to become the champion and it was taken away by these thugs The Alliance Of Defiance. Why did Mentallo do what he did? Nobody seemed to know. I don't seem to know. I just blog what I see.
Match #6 - Battle Royal - As these 18 men were battling each other, smacking each other, not even geared up, Moose (the announcer) decides to announce the 50-50 Draw. 24 minutes into the battle royal, AJ Sanchez eliminates everyone except for Bobby Fox. Sanchez grabs a chair and cuts a promo. At 9:58, Sanchez says I am going to wait here until Carlito arrives and starts doing some funny stuff.
Match #7 - Carlito vs AJ Sanchez - After a long, long wait of being tied up at Customs, Carlito finally arrived and cuts a promo saying that Sanchez said some things about Carlito. Carlito responded by spitting apple in AJ's face which lead to the former CWE Heavyweight Champ beating up Carlito really bad. The beating continued inside the ring where AJ said that Carlito is nothing. Carlito recovered with a dropkick to Sanchez's kisser. but AJ recovered and delivered a vicious clothesline but only got a two count. After a hard fought battle, Carlito used the Back Cracker to pin AJ Sanchez and get the one, two, three.
Tonight the Master Blogger is back at it with my first report for February as tonight CWE (Canadian Wrestling's Elite) presented their 2 Year Anniversary Show entitled Do or Die at Vince Leah Community Centre. Lots of great independent wrestling action so now I, the mysterious Master Blogger will cut to the chase and go through each match.
Opening Contest - A 3-Way Match for the CWE tag team titles between Team Impact (Robby Royce and ATM), The Strip N'Dales (Bobby Fox and Matt Fairlane) and the champions ''Big'' Cliff Corleone and JJ Sanchez. TJ Bratt gets on the mic and demanded that the people in the Vince Leah Community Centre show him some respect. Sanchez and Corleone come out with of course Hump and Daisy May. Royce slapped Sanchez accross the face and I, the mysterious Master Blogger said to myself, That's the Robby Royce I remember. Royce tags in ATM and then Fairlane tags himself in on JJ, Bratt tripped up Fairlane from the outside which caused the reff to send him back to the dressing room (total and utter BS). Fox then went for a top rope legdrop onto ATM (no love lost between these 2 teams). Fairlane delivered a spinebuster to Robby Royce, as this was happening Fox was beat up on the outside by Corleone and company. Royce superplexed Fox who sandwiched everybody on the outside of the ring. As Fairlane turned around, a mysterious woman came through the crowd and kicked Fairlane in the breadbasket allowing Team Impact to get the W. and become the new CWE tag team champions. Now I don't know who this woman was. Many suspect that was Lacey from PCW but I don't know. After the match Fairlane took out his frustrations and tried to whack Daisy May with a chair but instead whacked Hump.
Match 2: North End Street Fight - JP Kaos & Antonio Scorpio Jr. vs Boyz In Da Hood (Brian Rich and Scotty Rapper) - Scorpio and Kaos representing the Alliance Of Defiance (AOD) took on the returning Boyz in Da Hood. Rich and Rapper came through the crowd (Rich was sporting new gear). Rich used a spray can in Scorpio's eyes. Blinded Anton was an easy target for the Boyz. But Scorpio recovered and delivered a thunderous suplex to Scotty. While Kaos choked Rapper, Bratt yelled ''You guys are morons here in Winnipeg.'' Rich and Rapper then delivered a double flying clothesline to Scorpio, but the former PCW Champion recovered and dropped Rich on his head with the jumping tombstone piledriver to get the win for the AOD. Just as it looked like Scorpio was about to drop Rapper on his head, out from the back came Zack Mercury who got on the mic saying ''You stay right there Scorpio I am not done with you yet. The only way to make an impact is to prove yourself and challenges Scorpio for March at Cowboy's. Bratt then says We will discuss the contract and get back to you.
Match #3 - 123 Approved .ca Dog Collar Title match - For months Pimp Daddy Rick Matthews had been decking and dodging and cheating his way to get victories over Paul Arcidi but this time there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Matthews was sporting new gear but refused to wear the dog collar until later in the match. Arcidi used the chain on Matthews and delivered an awesome gorilla press slam and then repeatedly hit the Pimp Daddy with the chain on the back (ouch). Matthews recovered and used his cane to whack Arcidi. Arcidi at some point in the match used the chain to open up The Pimp Daddy on the head. Hey sorry, but the Master Blogger did say there was going to be blood and he meant it. After a hard fought battle, The Brickhouse used the Alabama Slam to pin Matthews and become the new 123Approved.ca Hardcore Champion.
Match #4 - Ladder Match where the winner got a contract to face any champion he wished, Tyler Colton vs. ''Mr TLC'' Tommy Lee Curtis vs. ''Misfit'' Mike Mission vs. Billy Blaze vs. Kevy Chevy vs. ''Beautiful'' Bobby Jay - Blaze and Chevy went after each other right away. Two former tag team partners, they used to call themselves The Creebirds. Billy Blaze grabbed the ladder earlier in the match and speared Chevy after setting the ladder up but Kevy recovered and whipped Billy into the ladder. TLC then grabbd the ladder and started to climb up only to be pushed off by Bobby Jay. Bobby went up only to get pantsed by Blaze and gave Chevy a stink face.
Jay dropkicked the Misfit and did a cartwheel for good measure. Blaze went up the ladder only to get pulled down by Tyler. Jay set up the ladder and delivered what I thought was an amazing Beauty Buster to Colton. Chevy then suplexed Jay, Billy pushes both The Misfit and Chevy off the ladder. Colton and Curtis both went up the ladder and started arguing amongst themselves which caused the contract to fall. Meanwhile The Beautiful One delivered a Tower Of Doom to the others. Bobby set up the ladder but gets whacked by Kevy Chevy and also whacks Mike with it, Colton wins the match after the contract fell which my brother was confused.
Match 5 - Heavyweight Title Match - Mentallo vs ''Hotshot'' Danny Duggan: Before the match got started Duggan cuts a promo saying thank you to all the fans for letting us do what we always do. Both men shook hands during the match as both men have to be considered fan favorites (or so I thought). Earlier in the match both men exchanged lefts and rights, Mentallo dropkicked Danny but Duggan backflips Mentallo over the top rope and both men exchanged chops on the outside but Duggan recovered and delivered three chops of his own before slingshotting the champ into the steel ring post. Later on, both men fought into the audience where Mentallo delivered a perfectly executed moonsault bodypress on Duggan. During this part of the match the AOD came out to watch so I figured ''Okay something's going on here''.
Back in the ring, Mentallo delivered three stiff kicks to Danny and put him in a half Boston Crab. Mentallo then delivered a suplex but Hotshot kicked out at two. The champ then delivered a brainbuster suplex to the challenger followed by a moonsault. Danny recovered and trapped Mentallo in a DDT but it was only a two count. Then the AOD interfered and attacked Danny Duggan. Mentallo just sat back and I was like ''What are you doing? Anyway, the Alliance Of Defiance interfeed and cost Danny Duggan the CWE Heavyweight Title causing Mentallo to win which my brother said was another bullshit ending. This was Danny's glorious moment. A chance to become the champion and it was taken away by these thugs The Alliance Of Defiance. Why did Mentallo do what he did? Nobody seemed to know. I don't seem to know. I just blog what I see.
Match #6 - Battle Royal - As these 18 men were battling each other, smacking each other, not even geared up, Moose (the announcer) decides to announce the 50-50 Draw. 24 minutes into the battle royal, AJ Sanchez eliminates everyone except for Bobby Fox. Sanchez grabs a chair and cuts a promo. At 9:58, Sanchez says I am going to wait here until Carlito arrives and starts doing some funny stuff.
Match #7 - Carlito vs AJ Sanchez - After a long, long wait of being tied up at Customs, Carlito finally arrived and cuts a promo saying that Sanchez said some things about Carlito. Carlito responded by spitting apple in AJ's face which lead to the former CWE Heavyweight Champ beating up Carlito really bad. The beating continued inside the ring where AJ said that Carlito is nothing. Carlito recovered with a dropkick to Sanchez's kisser. but AJ recovered and delivered a vicious clothesline but only got a two count. After a hard fought battle, Carlito used the Back Cracker to pin AJ Sanchez and get the one, two, three.

New Brand Wrestling Results For Saturday, January 22
http://jamestuchscherer.blogspot.com
Tonight, New Brand Wrestling (NBW) presented their first show of the new year entitled New Year's Retribution at the Ellice Theatre and Cafe. For those of you who have never been inside the Ellice Theatre, imagine a stage at the end with a wreslting ring and behind the ring a big movie screen. Wayne Stanton first started there when he was promoting a company called River City Wrestling. Now I, The Master Blogger will cut to the chase and get to the card.
Opening promo: The General Manager Cory Diamond announces that he has good news and bad news. The good news is that the NBW Heavyweight Title has been returned and at the next New Brand show, they will be having a tournament to crown the new NBW Heavyweight Champion. Bad News is that due to many injuries, Trent Nash has been stripped of the Mid-Canada Heavyweight Title and later that night there was going to be a Rumble to crown the new Mid-Canada Heavyweight Champion. Next, the Soul Society comes out and get in Diamond's face which leads to Laurence Fozzworth III coming out and stripping Cory of his GM duties which to me was a disgrace. Soul Society then beats down Diamond, Billy Blaze makes the save, punches the Soul Society's manager Milton Jones and breaks his sunglasses. Blaze then gives Diamond a Studs Inc. T-shirt and makes a match for later in the evening. Diamond then says ''You know, the last few months you saw Cory Diamond in a suit but I just got my duties taken from me by a Weasel!''
Opening Match: Spanky vs. Damon Marxx - Spanky taunted the crowd by saying ''I don't suck!!'' Very good, very exciting match, as my best friend said ''that's how it's done. Spanky rolled up Marxx and got the 3 count. During the match, Spanky got pantsed!!! Winner: Spanky
Match #2: The Soul Society vs. Studs Inc. (Billy Blaze & Cory Diamond) Diamond and Blaze broke into the business together (River City Wrestling). During the match, The Triad who were in the audience started calling them Soul Sisters. Other than that, very entertaining tag team match. Studs Inc. win via submission. Yee Haw!!!
Match #3: ''The Rebel'' Bobby Collins vs. La Sombra - I thought this was a fantastic match between the River City Wrestling legend and The World's Smallest Wrestler. La Sombra won the match by reverse decision when Collins would not release his finishing hold. As Collins put his finishing move on Sombra I said to myself ''That's the Bobby Collins I remember.''
Match #4: It was a Falls Count Anywhere match between ''The Misfit'' Mike Mission and Zamil. The match started with Mission getting a boot to the face and then later in the match got thrown out of the ring where Zamil grabs a record from under the ring and clocks the Misfit with it. Mission recovers and grabbed a cookie sheet to whack Zamil but somehow Zamil recovered and whacked The Misfit with a kendo stick. Mike then grabs a cheese grater and attacked Zamil with it. Zamil then goes for a suplex, The Misfit reversed the suplex and then grabbed plywood. Mission proceeded to Irish Whip Zamil into the plywood but Zamil reversed it. Mission put on the brakes and sent Zamil crashing into the plywood for the 1-2-3.
Intermission: several wrestlers came out to sign autographs
Match #5: Vinny Valliant and Dirty Dick Walker vs. Ike Idol and Marius. I got the thumbs up from Valliant before the match, Valliant and Walker were a very interesting combination. Lots of textbook wrestling between both Marius and Valiant but in the end, Marius & Idol got the W.
Match #6: Rumble to crown the new Mid-Canada Heavyweight Champion. Winner: Bobby Collins. Collins added New Brand gold to his resume just like I predicted.
Match #7: Pepito & La Sombra vs. Big Cliff Corleone - Pepito and La Sombra were working very hard to take Corleone down. Ike Idol came out during the match and tried to hit La Sombra with the tag belt but instead clocked Big Cliff. Winners and the NBW tag team champions, Pepito & La Sombra

The History Of River City Wrestling & A Possible Future Return
http://jamestuchscherer.blogspot.com/
Today I thought that I would talk a bit about River City Wrestling.
River City Wrestling was founded by the trio of Wayne Stanton, Dave Pinsky, and Doug McColl in early 1993, with their first show being held on May 13, 1993 at the Chalmers Community Center. From the very beginning, it was their hope to create a circuit which was similar to the New Brand Wrestling circuit which ran shows from Chalmers approximately a decade earlier, in which Stanton was also involved in their run at the club. Since that time, the group had seen several transitions of power with the result bringing about the absenses of two of the trio. Wayne Stanton assumed total control of the company now and has utilized the skills and abilities of the company to create a whole new phase in the RCW evolution.
River City Wrestling had presented many shows across the province of Manitoba. Though focusing a great deal of time and energy into shows in Winnipeg, they have also presented cards in Souris, Brandon, Somerset, and other communities. In addition to these, matches had been held at the Manitoba Developmental Center in Portage La Prairie where the wrestlers had taken time out to spend with the mentally-handicapped. As well they had performed at carnivals, festivals, and various fund-raisers at different levels.
In 1994, the promotion had programming on the Shaw Cable Network. The quality remains unmatched at the regional level even today.
To gauge the caliber of the wrestlers of RCW, all one had too do was pick up any wrestling magazine on the newsstand. In fact, they had appeared monthly in dozens of newsletters and magazines worldwide. Four members of the River City Wrestling roster were even listed in the annual ‘’Pro Wrestling Illustrated” Top 500 wrestler listing in 1994, and again in 1995.
RCW became home to many local superstars ie: Mike Stone, Brian Jewel, Bobby Jay, Buddy Wiser, Billy Blaze, Cory Diamond, Robby Royce, Vance Nevada, Madman Muir, Reggie Gallagher, Marius, Ozz, Bugsy Slugg, JJ Walker and even some of today’s local stars such as Danny Duggan, AJ Sanchez, Kevin Chevy, Don Douglas, Rick Matthews (all who went on to bigger and better things).
They held wrestling shows at various venues ie: Chalmers Community Club, Bumpers Bar, Broadway Neighborhood Center, Teddy Bobs Bar etc. If it was not for River City Wrestling, there would be tons of guys on the independant circuit that would not be in the business.
If it did start up again I think it could overtake New Brand, overtake PCW and compete with SPW. I have a question for any of you wrestling fans reading this: Do you think it is time for RCW to start up again?
The guys who worked on that show ie: Buddy Wiser, Billy Blaze, Vinny Valliant etc. were very loyal to their product, were a family and always had entertaining shows. Despite the fact that Madman Muir and Wayne Stanton have had their difficulties I think Wayne could call Muir up and ask him to come work for him because Muir could be the top heel in that new promotion.
If Muir was heel number one, you add Ike Idol as heel number 2 and JJ Walker aka Dirty Dick Walker as heel number 3, and you have got a strong start to a new promotion.
In my opinion if River City did start up again, I can think of possible people who could work for Wayne again. Here are some names that I thought of:
Buddy Wiser
Vinny Valliant
Billy Blaze
Cory Diamond
Big Cliff Corleone
Pepito
Reggie Gallagher
Psycho Banger Jerin Rose
Shadow Xtreme (wildcard)
In conclusion I would just like to say, if RCW was to begin again, I would definitly go to their shows. Heck, I entered a contest and won a video cassette called: Introducing River City Wrestling back in middle school.

History Of New Brand Wrestling & My Opinions Of The Roster
http://jamestuchscherer.blogspot.com/
Established back in 1997, New Brand Wrestling has brought family oriented wrestling to fans in Winnipeg for more than 13 years. This family based promotion is operated by owner Omar Nicholas, his lovely wife, as well as newly appointed co-owner Louie Hendrickson. Together they have been entertaining Winnipeg fans from such venues as Dagmar Community Club, The Salvation Army on Logan, The Indian and Métis Friendship Centre, and now onto the new home of NBW the Ellice Theatre on Ellice and Sherbrook.
Over the years NBW has been holding its own against well know promotions such as PCW, RME, CWE, CWF, and RCW. While working along side these promotions, NBW is making its own claim to fame in the circuit with some old and new faces, ideas, and attitude. With 2011 well on its way, expect to see stars like: "The Rebel" Bobby Collins, Ike Idol, “The Misfit” Mike Mission, Billy Blaze, and many more. Come one come all and check out New Brand Wrestling live at Ellice Theatre in Winnipeg Manitoba or on Facebook and Youtube.
“Where the Masked Messenger always delivers the goods!”
Now I will give my opinions on the roster:
Billy Blaze - Former RCW (River City Wrestling) Heavyweight Champion and is one of the best Aboriginal wrestlers in Manitoba today.
“The Rebel” Bobby Collins - Is best known for facing his mentor Caveman Broda in a Garbage Can Match. I think he will add gold to his NBW resume.
Cory Diamond - Also got his start with River City Wrestling and Wayne Stanton. Is doing a great job as NBW General Manager.
Buddy Wiser - talented, draws money, Wiser also got his start with Wayne Stanton and River City Wrestling. As one half of the River City Wrestling tag team champions Studs Inc., I see good things for this guy.
Damon Marxx - I expect big things from this big guy
Big Cliff Corleone - Also got his start with River City Wrestling and is one half of the NBW tag team champions with Pepito.
“Iron” Ike Idol - Also works for Steeltown Pro Wrestling out in Selkirk. This guy can really get the crowd going and is one of the top heels in Manitoba.
Jay Lanza - Also works for Steeltown, with Louie Hendrickson as his manager, I see a bright future for this young man.
Ichigo Yagami - formerly known as Ryuzaki Light and Yami Light as well as leader of the Soul Society, this young kid will go far.
“The Misfit” Mike Mission - Dubbed by Wayne Stanton as one half of the new Wild Ones, I predict a bright future for this young man.
“The Great” Pepito - Also got started with Wayne Stanton and River City Wrestling and is one half of the New Brand Wresting tag team champions with Big Cliff Corleone.
Ricky Rivers - The other half of the New Wild Ones with Mike Mission as dubbed by Wayne Stanton, they will be tag team champions one day.
Spanky - Also got started with River City Wrestling and mentor for AJ Sanchez, this crowd favorite I see big things happening.
Zamil - Do not know much about this guy but I expect big things from him.
Trent “TNT” Nash - From Ringmasters to PCW to New Brand as the Mid-Canada Heavyweight Champion, this big guy is dynamite as his entrance music says.
Shadow Xtreme - Also works for SPW, This young kid has potential to make it big.
Marc Merric - This young man is very talented and can work anybody.
“The Brewski” Tom Lockley - Will be very interesting now to see how he fairs as a member of the Soul Society.
“The Masked Messenger” Omar Nicholas - Always delivers the goods.
Louie Hendrickson (Laurence Fozzworth III) - also known as The Weasel and Manager Of Champions, it is good to see him & as he likes to refer to him as his pa, The Masked Messenger working a Fifty Fifty partnership to run New Brand.
