Bryan Bush sent in the following report:

Just wanted to contact with you with some info from NWA Upstate's Indytational news from Saturday.

The event was a success with about 4-500 hundred in attendance. This was a surprise due to the limited marketing for the event. The show was about 4 hours long with many great matches including the Indytational tournament.

Results of the Indytational

Rhythm & Booze defeated The McClouds

Cheech defeated Gabe Saint, Colin Olsen, Super Xtremo (the winner of this match took Ruckus' spot in the tournament as due to unforeseen circumstances he was unable to compete)

Stargazer & Puerto Rican Hercules defeated the Super Assissin & Johnny Puma

JP Black defeated Oman Tortuga

John McChesney defeated Judas Young to advance in the tournament

Jimmy Olsen defeated Cheech to advance in the tournament

Big Cat Lemmer defeated Triple X in a very brutal and bloody street fight.

John McChesney defeated Sterling James Keenan. McChesney was able to sneak out the victory over his Star Foundation partner using questionable tactics leaving SJK none too pleased.

Jimmy Olsen defeated Danny Doring via rollup after Doring injured his back during the course of the match.

Frank The Tank won the Rochester Rumble

Dunn & Marcos retained the NWA Upstate Tag Titles over Brodie Lee and Cloudy in a very hard fought match up. Following the match Rhythm & Booze came out and Frank cashed in his title shot from winning the rumble.

Rhythm & Booze went on to defeat Dunn & Marcos for the Tag Team Titles.

John McChesney defeated Jimmy Olsen in the finals to become the first Indytational champion.
Lots of interference from Starrider early on causes SJK to return to ring side seemingly to even the odds as he was upset over his partner cheating to beat him early on. McChesney was able to take control for most of the match going right after Jimmy’s back that was injured earlier on. After an exchange of very near falls between the two it seemed Jimmy had the match won after his facebuster/piledriver combination, but then Starrider interjected himself, distracting the ref while SJK showed his true colors and delivered a devastating boot to Jimmy setting up McChesney for the win. The three of them celebrated, what was obviously a plan all along, while McChesney held up Olsen’s NWA Upstate Title. So it would seem we know exactly what McChesney’s intensions are with that open contract he now has.

Fabulous John Machesnie won the tournament with wins over Steerling James Keenan (BallPark Brawl Champion), and Jimmy Olsen in the finals. The tournament also featured Danny Doring.

Ruckus and Bolen NO Showed the event supposedly due to travel difficulties. Allot of fans were disapointed in this since they were looking forward to Ruckus being there.

Hellcat, Ivan the Impaler and Scotty Bender from Wrestlevision were on hand. Most of the talent appeared at Woody's afterwards. Overall, despite the No-Shows the event was a success, with the crowd popping big time for Danny Doring, Steerling James Keenan and John Machesnie. These 3 are becoming great assests to the independent scene and I would recomend to anyone who has the chance to see them live. As always I appreciate the updates from Wrestleview and I proudly promoted your website as well. Thanks to everyone who participated, as well as the fans and websites such as Wrestleview who helped prmote the event.

The next show is set for November with a "secret" talent from TNA to be announced at a later date.

Matches Scheduled:

VPW Championship Tournament:

It’s been a year and a half in the making, but Victory Pro Wrestling is now ready to crown it’s first ever champion. On October 12, 2007, VPW will present an eight-man single elimination tournament. The tournament will consist of four first round matches with all the winners advancing until only one person remains, the VPW Champion.

The eight participants in this tournament are; “The Good Guy" Azrieal, “Ultra Sexy" Joe So Delicious, Mack Daddy Flexx, Grim Reefer, Javi-Air, “Steel City Assassin" Sabotage, Richie Tyler and “Best Body in the Biz" Jason Static. VPW will announce the first round matches later in the week, but for now, think of the possibilities and matches that may occur on Friday night October 12, 2007.

For all of 2007, Jason Static has been bullying everyone in VPW around, along with his pals, Joe So Delicious and Sabotage. At any point in the night, these three partners may have to face each other. Will the title come between this trio? Will one of them make the sacrifice to help the other? Will their individual egos allow for any cooperation or teamwork? It’s obvious that all three men want nothing more than to be on top of VPW and to be standing tall at the end of the night with the gold, but aside from each other, all three have made many enemies in VPW. If not against each other, it’s extremely likely that Grim Reef! er, Richie Tyler and Mack Daddy Flexx will be their opponents. Reefer, Tyler and Flexx have been battling Sabotage, Delicious and Static since last year. With all of that mounted tension, anything can and will happen!!!

Speaking of Grim Reefer, Richie Tyler and Mack Daddy Flexx, they may find themselves in the same boat with their own allies and friends becoming opponents in their quest for the gold. Unlike Static’s crew, it’s more likely that if it came down to it, the VPW fans would see a series of competitive matches where the best man would truly win. Don Tony has assured VPW officials that Grim Reefer is bringing the gold back home to OZHB after the show and nothing can stand in Reefer’s way. As for Mack Daddy Flexx, as of now, he remains undefeated in VPW. Will he be able to survive what could potentially be three matches in one night? What about Richie Tyler? On top of having to worry about everyone else in the tournament, Tyler is single-handedly responsible for Jack O’Hearts getting his head shaved back in August. Could The Crew see to it that Tyler doesn’t even make it into the building in one piece?

The remaining entrants are two of VPW’s top cruiserweights, Azrieal and Javi-Air. Both men have consistently performed throughout their VPW careers. They’ve met in the ring several times, including at the last VPW event where Azrieal defeated Javi-Air. It may look like Azrieal has more momentum heading into this huge show than Javi-Air, but nobody should ever count Javi-air out. In fact both of these standout cruiserweights may be placed in situations out of their element if they end up competing against larger opponents. If that’s the case, then both Javi-Air and Azrieal may have to adjust their game plans.

What it’s all coming down to is the crowning of the first VPW Champion. All eight men know what is at stake and will be bringing it all to the table on October 12, 2007 at VPW’s Glory of the Gold. Don’t dare miss this exciting night of action!! Be a part of history!!

Nick Noshus vs. Jorge Santi

Since debuting in VPW, Nick Noshus has been making all kinds of waves. In fact, Noshus in undefeated in VPW. Back in June, he victoriously debuted against JMS. Then in August, he defeated Mr. Professional and Chopsaw in an elimination match. Immediately following that match, Noshus boasted how he was feeling great and was ready for anybody else that wanted a piece of him. Answering his challenge was “Firebird" Jorge Santi. In what was his unexpected VPW debut, Santi almost defeated Noshus, but couldn’t get past Noshus’ sneaky tactics. Now with ample time to prepare, Noshus and S! anti will go at it one more time. When asked for comment, Noshus had the following to say, “I’m undefeated in VPW. I’ve defeated four wrestlers over the course of only two events. Why on earth am I wasting my time against that Jorge Santi when I should be in the title tournament? Why am I competing against someone that I’ve already defeated? I’m the best thing VPW has going and you don’t even realize it. Omitting me from the title tournament is a crime and Santi is going to feel my frustrations." To say Nick Noshus is angry right now would be a severe understatement. His opponent had this to say, “I’m here for an opportu! nity and a chance to show the fans of Long Island what I can do. Last time Noshus cheated to win, but this time I know what I’m getting into. Don’t miss the next chapter in this hot rivalry!!

Eclipse & Joey Everlast w/ Jack O’Hearts vs. Livewired & Nightmare

The Crew is back at full strength and looking to knock some people around. After being jailed for the bulk of 2007, Joey Everlast is back on the streets and back in the Crew. Everlast debuted for VPW back in March, but immediately after the event ended, the Suffolk County Sherrif’s Department came into the VPW locker room with an outstanding warrant for Mr. Everlast. With his time served, Everlast is looking to get back in the ring. Johnny Suburban was originally set to tag with Eclipse, but in celebration of his friend getting released, Suburban offered him his spot in the match. When asked for comment, Jack O’Hearts had this to say, “Baby, the crew is at full stren! gth baby! We’ve got the top tag team in VPW, Eclipse, we’ve got the Prince of Suburbia, Johnny Suburban, and now back in the saddle is Joey Everlast. No one can stop The Crew baby! Last time I told everyone that we’d be making alphabet soup out of JMS and VSK and we did. Now we’re gonna do it all over again. You can take that to the bank and bank on it!" When asked for comment in regards to having his head shaved, Jack O’Hearts refused to discuss that embarrassing situation. Back in August, JMS and VSK may have been defeated by Eclipse, but both men found that special chemistry when teaming up and have decided to stay together as regular partners. They will now be known as Livewired. Eclipse better watch out for two of VPW’s most energetic wrestlers. Livewired’s partner will be Nightmare. Nightmare carried his American flag down to the ring and vanquished the evil of Crazy Ali at the last VPW event. Now he’s hoping to remove the stain that is The Crew from VPW. Anything can happen in this wild six-man tag!! Don’t miss it!!

Scotty Rio & Mr. Professional w/ Vinny the Guido vs. Chopsaw & Major Intencity

This grudge tag team match has been slowly brewing for months. Vinny the Guido burst on to the VPW scene boasting about many things, but mostly boasting about how VTG Enterprises was going to take over VPW. Since that time, not one man managed by Vinny the Guido has won a match, not a single match. Back in August, Vinny the Guido recruited Scotty Rio to his team, but that did Rio no favors. The same thing has been going on for Mr. Professional. Both Mr. Professional and Scotty Rio have been growing increasingly frustrated and rightfully so. Vinny has assured his men that there is strength in numbers and that this time thin! gs will go differently. That remains to be seen, especially if their opponents have anything to do about it. Major Intencity has defeated Scotty Rio on two consecutive VPW events while Chopsaw pinned Mr. Professional in August. This is VTG Enterprises chance to climb the ladder in VPW. Another defeat would have to be seen as nothing short of devastating. Chopsaw and Major Intencity are looking to close the book on Vinny the Guido, Scotty Rio and Mr. Professional. They have been training together as of late with a single objective on their minds, victory!

Other VPW News:

Now that Johnny Suburban has stepped aside in the six-man tag so Joey Everlast could wrestle, Suburban is left without and opponent. Johnny Suburban has made it clear that he’ll be wrestling on October 12th, one way or the other. While VPW officials are looking to secure an opponent for Johnny Suburban, they are also keeping an eye on their cars. Jack O’Hearts denies it, but one must wonder if there is any tension between Jack O’Hearts and Johnny Suburban after the last VPW event. After all, Suburban was responsible for Jack O’Hearts getting his head shaved.

While he was last seen chasing Jason Static on the streets of Long Island, the Zombie will be lurking around VPW on October 12th. It is unknown what the Zombie is up to, but it is getting closer and closer to Halloween. The Zombie was unavailable for comment, but it’s doubtful that anybody could understand him anyway.

In other news, Kevin Matthews is still out of VPW on an indefinite suspension due to his actions back in June.

The only remaining date for VPW in 2007 is on November 30, 2007. VPW is working on possibly securing a December date, but nothing is definite at this time. VPW does have their 2008 dates set. Those will be announced shortly.

Trainee Match
Gonza vs. ‘Bam Bam’ Barton

Lock up in the centre of the ring, the stronger Barton pushes Gonza off. Lock up once again this time Gonza rolls through, Barton calls for a test of strength but changes hands when the lock up is about to take place, Gonza quickly tires of this and rolls up Barton for a two count. Gonza hit’s a hiptoss but Barton comes back with a huge boot to the stomach and repeated stamps on the downed Gonza. While down Barton knee’s Gonza in the back and shouts “Stay down". Gonza won’t and rallies again with a chop, elbow and an arm drag reversal out of a power slam attempted by Barton. Barton charges at Gonza (who lowers the top rope) sending Barton to the outside of the ring. Gonza follows but misses with a dive, Gonza attempts to get back in but Barton stamps on his hand, Gonza asks a female fan to kiss his hand, but instead of that a male fan slaps it away! Gonza finally gets back in the ring, pushing the middle rope into Barton’s crotch (sending him to the outside). Gonza follows up with a rope flip and an apron hurracanrana, both men return the ring Gonza attempts a flying head scissors but Barton skilfully reverses it into a backbreaker.

Suplex by Barton gains a two count from the referee, Barton knees Gonza in the back again and slaps on a chinlock “Ask him ref" Barton bellows, fans clap for Gonza. Elbows to the stomach break the hold, Gonza follows up with a flying head scissors into a roll up pin for a two count. Gonza jumps at Barton, Barton’s waiting and quickly nails a power bomb 1,2 Gonza kicks out. Barton berates the ref. Elbows to Barton’s face by Gonza, he then swings and misses and is caught with a back body drop for a two count. Barton’s frustration shows as he leaves the ring to throw a chair (earning him a 1st public warning from the ref). Gonza takes advantage with a run up the ropes DDT! Kick to the stomach by Gonza into another jumping DTT for a two count only. Gonza ascends the turnbuckle and hit’s a senton bomb on Barton, both men down (ref reaches a 5 count before) Gonza reaches over and covers Barton for the 1, 2 and 3.

Match Time: 9 minutes
Winner: Gonza

Thoughts:
That was a pretty good match up, especially considering it was between two trainees of NBW. Back and forth match that could have gone either way, Barton’s temper got the best of him at points and that allowed Gonza to showcase his speed and agility. Two good prospects for the future of Norton British Wrestling.

NBW Revenge Show

Surf Digby vs. Sir Thomas Chamberlain w/Co-members of the Capital City Cliq (Stixx & ‘Bombay Dream’ Ross Jordan)

Surf Digby makes his way to the ring (the fans clap), Sir Thomas Chamberlain enters with co-members of the Capital City Cliq (’Bombay Dream’ Ross Jordan & Stixx). “Make some noise for Sir Thomas Chamberlain" The fans do by booing loudly. Stixx takes the microphone of the Ring Announcer “Introducing the man that is better than anyone in the back and on par with us, Sir Thomas Chamberlain". A fan shouts out “Don’t forget to take your dressing gown off" This causes Stixx & Jordan to start jawing with the crowd. Lock up by both men, Chamberlain rolls Digby off, a second lockup allows Chamberlain to hiptoss Digby. A third lock up and Chamberlain once again gets the advantage with a power slam. Digby fires back though with an arm drag, hiptoss and power slam causing Chamberlain to hastily exit the ring. CCC shout “He’s jealous of Sir Thomas Chamberlain’s lovely hair". Chamberlain pulls up his knee pads and slides back in the ring. Lock up into a headlock by Digby followed by a shoulder block. Chamberlain fires back with a punch and boot to the gut and dumps Digby to the outside.

CCC give Digby a beat down and then throw him back in the ring. Chamberlain applies the armlock. CCC taunt the fans, crowd claps for Digby, Chamberlain nails a clothesline for a two count. Jordan holds Stixx back from the fans, Digby ducks the clothesline attempt only to be hit with a clothesline on the return and once again he is dumped out of the ring for a CCC beat down. CCC throw Digby into the ring once again, suplex by Chamberlain gains a two count. Chamberlain applies an armbar but Digby fights out with punches to the gut, ducking a clothesline attempt by Chamberlain hitting a flying elbow, back elbow and power slam in quick succession for a two count. Fans clap for Digby once again, backbreaker by Digby who shouts to the fans “Go up" motioning to the top rope. Whilst there Jordan sneakily (behind the referee’s back) pushes him off. Chamberlain takes advantage with a whip shoulder first into the turnbuckle and quickly locking on the armbar for the submission win. Stixx takes the mic again “The winner of the match from the great city of London Sir Thomas Chamberlain" the fans boo the Capital City Cliq as they leave.

Match Time: 7 minutes
Winners: Sir Thomas Chamberlain

Thoughts:
Pretty solid match to start the main show off with. Back and forth match between the two competitors, Digby may have had the match won but the constant interference by Stixx and ‘Bombay Dream’ Ross Jordan proved too much for him to overcome in the end. Chamberlain’s offence was pretty sound working constantly on Digby’s arm (the same arm) that made Digby submit.

For #1 Contendership to either the NBW Cruiserweight (If Travis wins) and Middleweight Championship (If Dragon wins)
‘The Shooting Star’ Kris Travis vs. Imperial Dragon

Fans boo Travis as he makes his way to the ring, Travis pushes the referee out of the way and poses for the crowd. Fans clap for Imperial Dragon (who slaps hands with the crowd) on his way to the ring. Travis shouts for the ref “Check his damn tassels", Dragon shouts “Come on people" the fans respond by cheering loudly. Lock up in the centre of the ring, Dragon pushes Travis back into the corner and accuses Dragon of a hair pull (even though he was pulling Dragon‘s hair, unbeknownst to the ref). Boot to the stomach by Travis, who quickly applies the headlock to Dragon. Dragon reverses out and hit’s a shoulder block, Dragon leapfrogs Travis and hit’s a roll through arm drag, Travis returns with a Japanese arm drag, Travis misses a punch and is rammed into the corner by Dragon, Travis then bellows for the ref to “Get him back". Armdrag by Dragon, followed up by a hiptoss and chop in seamless fashion. Back body drop by Dragon, Travis rolls to the outside, Dragon attempts a suicide dive but Travis kicks him square in the head! Travis rolls back in and returns with a chop to Dragon, Travis Irish whips Dragon but he reverses it and follows with a high knee strike to Travis’s head.

Dragon calls for a 10 punch in the corner, he reaches 9 before he is pushed off and into a big boot by Travis for a two count. Travis follows up with a boot to Dragon’s head, snapmere and a kick to the back for another two count. Travis berates the ref, he then returns to pull Dragon’s hair (ref reaches a 3 count), suplex by Travis gains a two count (as Dragon’s foot was on the ropes). Another snapmere by Travis this time into a headlock “Ask him ref" he shouts, fans clap for Dragon. Dragon fights back, ducking a clothesline attempt by Travis and hitting an Enzuguri and blue thunder driver for a two count. Dragon motions for the elbow, but his attempt misses Travis, who hits with an Enzuguri to the back of Dragon’s head. Rolling suplex by Travis follows. Travis pushes the ref out of the way (for that he gets his 1st public warning), Travis puts Dragon on top rope and poses for the crowd, punches by Dragon and a front suplex drop Travis to the mat. Missile dropkick by Dragon, who then nips up, hitting a forearm and monkey flip in quick succession, and even a Michinoku driver for a close near fall. “Come on" he shouts to the fans, which causes the fans to clap once more. Travis pulls Dragon’s tights throwing him towards the ref, Dragon and the ref don’t collide but it distracts Dragon and allows Travis to hit a Jay Driller for the 1,2 and 3. Ring Announcer announces that ‘The Shooting Star’ Kris Travis is the NEW #1 Contender to El Ligero‘s NBW Cruiserweight Championship.

Match Time: 10 minutes
Winner and NEW #1 Contender to El Ligero‘s NBW Cruiserweight Championship: ‘The Shooting Star’ Kris Travis

Thoughts:
Both men were evenly matched against each other and this provided a close very good match for the NBW fans. Dragon had his chances to win the match as did Travis, in the end the cheating tactics that Travis used for most of the match paid off for him. Ligero vs. Travis should be a very good match in it’s own right and one that I look forward to seeing when it takes place.

Stephanie Scope w/Co-members of The Establishment ‘Textbook’ Dave Frazier & ’Malicious’ Paul Malen vs. Roxi

The NBW fans boo The Establishment as they make their way to the ring, “Your not allowed to boo a Champion" Dave Frazier replies. Roxi is cheered as she makes her way to the ring (slapping hands with the fans) as she does. The referee decides to ban The Establishment from ringside causing the fans to chant “Out" at them, they begrudgingly leave. Scope attacks Roxi from behind, Roxi returns with a clothesline and shouts “Easy, Easy". Scope leaves the ring and after a few seconds Roxi leaves also and the chase is on. Both women return to the ring, Roxi runs at the ropes causing both women to criss cross the ring, Roxi points for Scope to look up and then slaps her across the face. Scope decides to start another criss cross but when she points for Roxi to look up, Roxi stamps on her toes. Roxi then attempts to knock Scope down with a three of shoulder blocks but she can’t move the stronger woman that is until she attempts and connects with a fourth. Scope quickly returns with a clothesline knocking Roxi down. Scope hits Roxi with a number of boots to the back and then chokes her in the ropes, shouting “Yeah" the fans reply by booing. Hair toss follows and another choke with the boot, Scope uses her full 5 count.

Snapmere on Roxi followed by Scope standing on Roxi’s hair while pulling her arms, Scope does the same again but on the third attempt Roxi rolls her up and almost gains the pinfall. Roxi quickly follows up with a backslide for a two count. Scope returns with a kick to the back of Roxi’s legs, tosses her by the hair and chokes with her boot in the ropes before pulling Roxi away and gaining a two count. Scope places her leg over Roxi’s throat while asking the ref about a slow count (unbeknownst to the ref she was choking Roxi with her leg and boot). Scope applies an armlock and while the ref isn’t looking pulls on Roxi’s hair with her free hand, the ref checks for a hair pull (so Scope bites on Roxi’s hand), Roxi is somehow able to roll through for a pin but only manages a two count. Roxi rolls under a Scope clothesline, hitting a knee to Scope’s stomach and nailing her with a neck breaker (fans clap for Roxi). The ref counts both women down (he reaches 9 before they return to their feet). Both women trade forearms, Dave Frazier hides at ringside, Roxi hit’s a DDT for a two count (fans clap for Roxi again). Roxi runs at the ropes and is tripped by Frazier, Frazier gets on apron to distract Roxi but collides with Scope allowing Roxi to roll her up and get the 1, 2 and 3. “Roxi" chants from the fans as The Establishment argue (Scope leaves) as the fans clap once more for Roxi.

Match Time: 8 minutes
Winner: Roxi

Thoughts:
Good back and forth match between two of the premier wrestlers on the women’s wrestling scene in the U.K. The match could have gone either way with both women having chances to end it, interference backfired for the first time of the night and Roxi managed to pull out the win. Cracks are appearing in The Establishment will it fall apart at the seams?

Thoughts:
That was a very good old school tag team match. Good wrestling from both teams, CCC using every advantage they could get legal or otherwise, Killer Instinct putting in a good, valiant but ultimately losing performance. With the way the match ended (Chamberlain’s interference) I would say a rematch is on the cards and that is a rematch that I would welcome.

Winners: Jay Techno and the English Army

Thoughts:
That was a tremendous concept put forth by Norton British Wrestling, as there was no divide. The NBW fans hated the Foreign Fanatics and loved the English Army leading to a series of football like chants which created a tremendous atmosphere. The match though was rushed at some points (which is understandable with a 20 minute time limit), a few quick pin falls which created can’t miss action but also because of it’s very nature created a blink and you might miss it match. That’s not to say it wasn’t a good match but I feel it would have benefited from a 25 or maybe 30 minute time limit.

Street Fight
NBW Heavyweight Title
‘Malicious’ Paul Malen w/’Textbook’ Dave Frazier vs. ’Playboy’ Phil Bedwell ©

Malen is booed as he makes his way to ringside, Bedwell is cheered as makes his way to ringside. Bedwell rushes the ring and the two competitors fight even before the bell has rung! Bedwell clotheslines Malen over the top rope to the ringside floor, Malen’s pissed and throws a chair towards Frazier. Malen returns to the ring and quickly clubs Bedwell on the back, and chokes him with his boot (forcing Bedwell to the outside). Bedwell is attacked on the outside by Frazier, Malen’s forearms him off the apron, Bedwell trips up Malen and brings him out of the ring. Bedwell power slams Malen and rams his head off the ring apron, a chop to the chest follows as does a plastic chair to Malen’s back. Malen fights back with a kick to the stomach (the fans clap for Bedwell) and head butt’s Bedwell directly in the head. Malen continues the attack with a leather belt to the back and a choke with a ringside chair, the second time Bedwell blocks and suplexes Malen on the floor (as the fans clap for Bedwell once more). Frazier asks Malen “How much do you want it" Bedwell connects with a dropkick through the ropes, but is smacked with a steel sheet to the head on the second attempt. Malen chokes Bedwell with his hand and then his boot, while Frazier jaws with the NBW fans, Malen hits Bedwell with the steel sheet to the head once again.

Bedwell fights back with a chin breaker causing Malen to ask Frazier for a belt hilariously Frazier asks back “Which one" (as there are 3 belts at ringside), Frazier decides on the leather one and hands it to Malen who uses it to choke Bedwell, Frazier then chokes Bedwell with the belt. Malen exit’s the ring and returns with a steel chain which he uses to choke Bedwell with once again, Frazier turns to the fans “Take a nice picture" Malen continues the assault with a club to Bedwell’s neck, Malen rings Bedwell’s bell (literally) and rams him into the steel post. The fans aren’t happy Malen tells them “You need to shut your mouth" Bedwell tries to rally with a piledriver but it’s reversed into a back body drop on the floor, “Make him bleed" Frazier shouts. Malen poses with the NBW Title (as the fans clap for Bedwell). Malen sets up a steel chair in the ring and shouts “Have a seat Phil" sarcastically, Bedwell reverses Malen into a drop toe hold which causes Malen to connect head first with the chair. Malen lowblows Bedwell and uses the chair on Bedwell’s back, ribs and head in quick succession but only manages a two count. Fans clap for Bedwell Frazier shouts “Stop clapping" Cobra clutch by Malen, Bedwell fights out with elbows to the gut only to be caught with a knee to the stomach. Malen poses allowing Bedwell to hit a DDT.

Powerslam by Bedwell, knee to the lower back and a side slam for a two count. Bedwell climbs to the top rope and hit’s a flying forearm “Yeah" he shouts. Bedwell grabs the chair (whilst Malen grabs a Singapore cane), Malen connects with the cane to Bedwell’s stomach and then chokes him with it. “I’ll get a table" he bellows and brings a table into the ring, he then returns to Bedwell cracking the cane over his back and throws Bedwell back into the ring. Headbutts by Malen, rapid punches (fans clap for Bedwell) chop, and a punch. Bedwell fights back with punches of his own, powerbomb by Bedwell through the table and both men are down. There is a look of disbelief on Frazier’s face, Bedwell follows up with a low blow and smacks the chair into Malen’s back and head screaming “Yeah and over" Frazier gets up on the apron so Bedwell slingshots Malen at Frazier, and quickly follows with a jumping piledriver on the chair for the 1, 2 and 3. The fans cheer for Bedwell, Malen is bloodied and bruised, Frazier berates Malen. Malen attempts to attack Frazier but he squirms away into Bedwell’s hands and he too is pile driven for his troubles to a loud cheer from the NBW fans! Fans clap loudly for Bedwell as Malen walks out on Frazier.

Match Time: 19 minutes
Winner and STILL NBW Heavyweight Champion: ‘Playboy’ Phil Bedwell ©

Thoughts:
Whoa! That was an intense match, a truly great way to end the show. You could feel the hatred between the two competitors and once again the fans loved Bedwell and hated Malen. Frazier was hilarious at ringside jawing with the fans, the action was back and forth as well and like a lot of the other matches on the show could have gone either way. I wouldn’t mind a rematch but I think the big issue is how long before The Establishment falls apart completely.

Overall Thoughts:
My first time at Norton British Wrestling and I enjoyed a good afternoon of Wrestling action, the Trainee match surpassed my expectations, all the matches were filled with solid wrestling, Roxi and Scope produced a good women’s match, the NBW tag title match was a good old school tag match, the Patriot games gauntlet match was a lot of fun albeit a little rushed and the main event was intense and produced a very good match in it’s own right. My only complaint is for the ring announcing, which was very difficult to hear throughout the afternoon.
