Wrestling Coverage Whatever #? Who cares: CYN wrestling, Pro Wrestling TV, and Tony Khan era ROH
The CYN gimmick is a cross between Qanon, and Fight Club. This alone kind of puts a limit on how far it’ll go, and whether it’ll last. But I think there’s a way to fix it. I wrote about how to improve Impact Wrestling. #2 & #4 would do wonders for this brand new niche promotion.
Given the theme, and presentation of the brand. It seems to have a conservative but also anarchist vibe to it. I’d recommend getting press coverage from Daily Wire, Russell Brand, and Jimmy Dore. “Counter culture” is your gimmick.
All three present themselves as that as well. Whether or not they actually are is up to you.
CYNW needs to be built around EC3 & Killer Kross. If it’s going to have any longevity at all. Everyone that’s familiar with their work knows their potential. MJF is a hot commodity right now. EC3 could capitalize on this with a promo on Pro Wrestling TV.
“There’d be no Dynasty or Pinnacle without EC3. No MJF, No Richard Holliday, and No Alex Hammerstone! I AM THE REAL 1%er! CM Punk gave you his time because you copied me” – EC3
Wrestling social media does it’s thing. CYNW is suddenly discussed alongside MLW, and AEW. AEW wrestlers love to mention WWE on TV. So, this is free advertising.
Pro Wrestling TV seems to essentially be the same as Pluto TV’s pro wrestling channel, and YouTube. Plenty of free, and on-demand wrestling out there. A lot of vintage wrestling can be watched for free on YouTube.
If Pro Wrestling TV offered remastered versions of what can be found on YouTube that’d be a great selling point. There’s a market for old wrestling.
Try to be the international home for Crash Lucha Libre, and India’s Wrestle Square. This would probably be a MASSIVE money making opportunity for Pro Wrestling TV. Lucha Libre receives less coverage compared to Puroresu. The Indian wrestling scene doesn’t receive coverage at all.
Promotions that Pro Wrestling TV should consider:
1.Crash Lucha Libre
2. Wrestle Square
3. Both old & current XPW (Yes, I’m serious)
4. H2O wrestling
5. Appalachian Mountain Wrestling
6. Chikara
7. Wrestle Circus
8. AIWF Mid Atlantic
9. National Wrestling Conference
10. Herb Abrams UWF
11. USWA
12. Jarrett’s CWA
13. Shimmer
14. Shine
15. CHW Backyard
16. UWFi
17. GLEAT
18. “Wrestling from Chicago” from the Chicago Film Archives
19. South Atlantic Pro Wrestling
20. Singapore Pro Wrestling
A little bit of everything here.
You could advertise CYNW to the free viewers of these promotions during commercial breaks.
I’m just going to go back to what I said earlier. EC3, and Killer Kross are the obvious people to build CYN wrestling around. Killer Kross would be the main villain. Killer Kross, and Scarlett Bordeaux could have a faction. EC3 could be the 1%er anti-hero that cares about the masses.
Plenty of things could be done.
Now for Tony Khan’s ROH. I don’t have too much to say other than I’m happy it was him. But here’s some changes I’d make.
1. Merge ROH world & TV championships
2. Create a Women’s Pure Championship
3. Get rid the six man tag team championship, and create a Women’s tag team division.
ROH would have 4 singles championships, and 2 tag team championships. The Pure Championships would be in equal standing instead of secondary. Because it’s an different approach to the sport.
Women’s tag team wrestling is making a lot of progress. It’d be best for business to get on that train. Billionaire Tony shouldn’t miss this opportunity.
I’m a big fan of wrestling factions. So, if he does go nuts with it that’s cool. Just have the ROH factions invade AEW occasionally. That’d be great.
Bolshevik Baron News: CPUSA-PSL on Ukraine, People’s Party takeover attempt, and more
A Socialist-Monarchist News Segment Brought To You By My Questionable Sanity.
Links to what will be covered: Chechen Troops coming to Ukraine, Liberals attempt to takeover People’s Party, Candace Owens on US-UKR-RUS, Candace Owens 2, CO3, CO4, CO5, PSL on Ukraine, CPUSA on Ukraine, and India’s intent on bypassing sanctions.
Russia’s sending Chechens whose reputation in battle is well known. Both in the Middle East & the MMA octagon. Their ruthless efficiency is well-known. The Ukrainians have the Far Right neo-nazi Azov battalion & “Ghost of Kiev”. The clash should be legendary.
“
The People’s Party is a populist party. These board members wanted to convert it into a more liberal and woke party. They had already begun reorienting the party’s message away from economic populism and towards identity politics, a transformation that alarmed many volunteers. They were supported by contractors who abused their positions of authority in the party to attack our own volunteers, delegates, and even Ralph Nader — who spoke at the opening meeting of the National Organizing Committee — as sexists, racists, and white supremacists for seeking to build class solidarity.
This liberal faction opposed allowing our membership to democratically decide the party’s position on Covid vaccine mandates, going as far as attempting to shut down a party-wide vote and censor and cancel volunteers who discussed it in Slack. They even responded to Rodrigo’s personal story of suffering a vaccine injury, Bell’s palsy, by alleging that it hadn’t actually happened. They sought to replace our universalist message of health care, college, and housing for all with partitioned messages for different identity groups, a staple of Democratic Party campaigns. They were fundamentally reorienting the party away from its populist mission of uniting the left and right against the establishment, a mission they derided as building a “red-brown alliance” and “economic reductionism.” -from the People’s party statement on their attempted liberal coup
There is a common ground between conservatives, and classical leftists that should grow into something more. Disenfranchised populist leaning conservatives should be involved with parties like this. While populism is a rising faction within the GOP & DNC. It’ll never be on the same level as left & right neo-liberalism.
Conservatives should interact with Caleb Maupin , Jackson Hinkle, Infrared HAZ, Jimmy Dore, People’s Party, PSL, CPUSA, and Sameera Khan. There could be an excellent exchange of ideas, and better odds of things being achieved.
I’ve suggested innovative solutions in You want Americans to vote Communist, CPUSA. That could be appealing to people on both sides of the political spectrum. My suggestion on how to fix the economy of Venezuela is something any country could use.
Also conservatives need an actual understanding of leftism. There’s a Marxist archive with works from authors like Daniel DeLeon, and Karl Marx himself. There’s a great YouTube that has a bunch of audiobooks on Marxist theory. It also has a reading of a discussion between HG Wells & Stalin on Marxism versus Liberalism.
Leftists shouldn’t try to appeal to bourgeois liberals. Whether they like it or not they’ve got more in common with the American Right. Conservative Husband, and Communist Wife. What an interesting love story for TV.
The opioid crisis is something both conservatives, and the West Virginia CPUSA care about. More common ground between so-called enemies. The truth is we’re on the same side. We’ve been tricked into being enemies.
The PSL & CPUSA have both rightfully questioned the legitimacy of US actions in Ukraine. As well as stating that Russia does have some valid reasons their actions. Diplomacy is being vigorously promoted by both.
Candace Owens, and some of her notable mutual friends are opposing US involvement. Although it’s from a partisan perspective, it’s still incredible to see. This is evidence that a new ideological movement could be born out of conservatism & real leftism.
Candace Owens brought up Somalia as an example of Western hypocrisy.
United States is SWIFTly damaging dollar dominance. This is quite obvious when a so-called ally is circumventing sanctions. By creating a new payment system in order to do business with Russia. India basically said “Fuck you, Biden administration”
Unipolarity is a rare phenomenon. Multipolarity is more natural. The obvious big four are United States, China, Russia, and India. But I’d also keep an eye on Brazil, Nigeria, and Japan. You never know what could happen.
Thank you for reading!

WCW 6: Demonaltry, Depopulation, WV CPUSA, and Pro Wrestling NOAH! Also some plans for my crypto portfolio
Everyone seems to be concerned about depopulation. Elon Musk, Pope Francis, and Todd the Starbucks sipping reporter guy. Plenty of concern. But this is actually a good thing as long as we have the right mentality.
The easy fix is making movement, and immigration easier. But there’s always a domestic reactionary response. Which means you need to do something else.
Western countries have enough men. We don’t need more men. The men we have are more than enough. But we need a yearly immigration cap for both genders.
100k men who qualify for the H1B visa. Before getting a job in the field that they are qualified for. These men must complete 2 weeks of basic training, and spend 6 months patrolling the Southern border. Sending unauthorized visitors back home, and arresting cartel drug smugglers. Once they’ve completed this, they can apply at SpaceX or something. Men who don’t qualify for the H1B will not be considered.
The yearly immigration cap for women will be 800,000. The immigration offices will help them with housing, and employment. Free English lessons will be given if need be. The ladies will have to cook at the soup kitchen for at least four weeks. As a form of community service. A $500 gift card for Walmart, and $200 UBER gift card will be given to the ladies after completing soup kitchen duty.
Investing in automation, and implementing automation will reduce the need for low skill immigration. Some Westerners will be unemployed because of this. But if we implement universal basic income. It’ll be fine because they’ll have a safety net. They’ll be free to retrain themselves for a new career or business of their own. While that monthly payment of 1,500 is always there.
I personally don’t consider the depopulation issue to be an issue. This great die off will mean cost of living will go down. But we do need to encourage reproduction at some point. My approach is better in my opinion.
Another great thing about universal basic income is that it gives women a choice. They can take a break from working to stay at home until the children are old enough. If that’s something women want to do. The stress about what to do after the baby is born will decrease. This probably would help increase the birthrate slightly.
Look into some of the policies I suggested for the CPUSA. Especially the tower town, and forest preserve part. It’d allow the population to grow without destroying the home of local wildlife.
WV CPUSA’s solution to the opioid epidemic, and more.
The West Virginia CPUSA outlined a very nice solution to the problem. I could be wrong but I don’t see many political groups actually addressing it. But I would do something a little more bold.
The corporations will be given a 3 strike rule. The first strike involves the government owning 25% of the company, and stiff financial penalties. The second strike involves stiff financial penalties, jail time, and all executives must sell their shares of the company stock. The third strike is the revocation of the corporate charter.
This corporation ceases to exist all intellectual property, and other assets will be sold at an auction. Corporate businessmen are an entirely different breed of capitalist. Since they have no ties to most of the communities they deal with. The incentive to do right by them is decreased.
This would be the way to keep them in line. They’re not like Joe that runs the sandwich shop, and fundraises for the kid’s baseball program. These people don’t see people as people just numbers.
Demonaltry by S. Connolly thoughts thus far:
It’s a very easy, and beginner friendly read. An Amazon customer actually posted a negative review because of that. Which is quite silly because it advertises itself as such.
I’m not new to polytheism but infernal worship is definitely something fresh. Well, relatively speaking. I was a Laveyan Satanist in my early teens. When I was obsessed with Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson. But my interpretation of it was still very theistic.
Now that I’m in my mid twenties. It seems that chthonic & infernal aspects of spirituality are very attractive to me.
I’m under 100 pages in, and it’s a more in-depth version of what the Tiktok occultists give out for free. I’d definitely recommend checking it out. Even if demons are too spooky for you.
Demonaltry is a polytheistic, and syncretic path. It’s heavily influenced by the works of Richard Dukante. Demonaltry believes that most demons are demonized pre-christian divinities.
It’s great that Pro Wrestling NOAH is posting free matches with English commentary. But I feel like they could do something similar to AEW Dark in order to attract international fans. Get them watching Pro Wrestling NOAH every week on YouTube, and watching the big shows on Wrestle Universe. This would have a snowball effect because fans would check out TJPW or DDT as well. CMLL, IWRG, MLW, and NWA also post events on YouTube. There’s nothing wrong with it.
Now let’s focus on the wrestling!
I have to say that I love the commentary. They’re treating it like a sport instead of soap opera. Giving the wrestlers, and the match the respect they deserve.
The former friends Hayata & YO-HEY are in a technical wrestling competition. Both of trying to get the best of the other. The speed & acrobatics is starting to pick up now.
Hayata retains.
The final 6 minutes were absolutely outstanding. Impossible to tell what the end result would be. It’s matches like this that keep people watching.
My 2022 crypto portfolio plans:
Algorand, USDC, Cardano, Avalanche will be the primary four that I acquire this year. I hold a decent amount of Shiba Inu. But I have no desire to purchase more at this time.
The thing I like about Shiba Inu is that it feels like Dogecoin before Elon Musk got into it. Just a fun meme coin to play around with.
I’m also considering buying Polkadot, and Solana. Definitely not buying any Bitcoin. Sorry, Max Keiser. I like cryptos that are fast, and innovative.

Book The Elite 2 side B: The Horsemen take the valley
Side B is for stories associated with the primary storyline. Read BTE2 alongside Side B for the full experience. NWA-OVW is the biggest of the new NWA territories. It’s head booker Jim Cornette is determined to stop the AEW outlaws in their tracks. While Tony Khan, and his EVPs haven’t discussed the actions of the New Four Horsemen.
The NWA office does believe that they cosign their efforts. Billy Corgan & Jim Cornette also believe that the Horsemen won’t be the only AEW wrestlers invading.
Three championship matches are expected on tonight’s episode of OVW TV. Jim Cornette has welcome any & all competitors to OVW. Because he truly believes that NWA talent is the best in the world. None of the champions know who they’re facing.
Tonight’s episode of NWA-OVW TV:
“Welcome to NWA-OVW, Folks! Wrestling how it used to be, and wrestling how you like it! Those outlaws in WWE & AEW have left a dirty taste in the mouths of fans everywhere. Our champions will defend their championships against mystery opponents. It’ll be a wonderful time for you, and the folks at home.” – Jim Cornette
The first match is for the tag team championship. The Darkkloudz are hyping up the crowd while waiting for the opponents to arrive. Tully Blanchard comes through the entrance area. Jim Cornette’s at the commentary booth, and his heart just hit the floor.
It’s well-known that Jim Cornette loves FTR. He wasn’t expecting the New Horsemen to arrive tonight. Jim genuinely thought they’d send Orange Cassidy & Michael Nakazawa or something. He didn’t believe they would consider the territorial championships worth pursuing.
Who else could be here from AEW?
Tully Blanchard introduces FTR, and they immediately storm the ring. The bell is rung as soon as the champions hit the mat. Cash & Dax are completely dominating Eric Darkstorm while his teammate is dealing with Tully.
As Cash gets Eric Darkstorm in a arm lock. Dax steps out to help Tully whose being attacked by Deget Bundlez. Tully & Dax gain control of the situation. They’re holding him in place in order for him to see Eric lose his will to fight.
Eric Darkstorm starts tapping, and FTR is declared the winner. But he doesn’t let go until Tully Blanchard, and Dax enter the ring. The new NWA-OVW tag team champions are FTR of the New Horsemen. Tully Blanchard grabs the microphone.
“That’s just the beginning, Jim. The horsemen are no longer limited to four wrestlers. I’m assembling an army. Every national, and regional championship the NWA has will be ours. We’ve known each-other for a long time. I keep my promises.” – Tully Blanchard
The next match is for the NWA-OVW Kentucky Heavyweight championship. It was previously known as the national heavyweight championship before rejoining with the NWA. Jessie Godderz is waiting for his opponent. The MLW national openweight champion Alexander Hammerstone comes to the ring in a “New Horsemen” T shirt.
This confirms the rumor that AEW has started working with MLW. Tony Khan is opening the door for so many promotions. Is he intentionally or unintentionally helping Tully’s New Horsemen invade the NWA? Does he think this is just a friendly competition? What is his end game?
Jessie Godderz being the dumb Jersey Shore bro he is challenged Alexander Hammerstone to a test of strength. A spray tanned Jersey Shore reject is about to get killed on syndicated TV. Hammerstone clearly isn’t interested in putting on a show. So he gets him in a rear naked choke but Jessie Godderz manages to get out. Only for Hammerstone’s massive boot to connect with his face.
Jessie Godderz is clearly unconscious, and the referee calls it. The new NWA-OVW Kentucky Heavyweight Champion is Alexander Hammerstone. That’s two wins for the New Horsemen. Jim Cornette isn’t doing what he intended. His territory is getting taken over easily by the New Horsemen.
Jim Cornette is practically on the verge of tears at this point. The next match is the NWA-OVW women’s championship. Fortunately he gets a break from the destruction because the challenger is Super Humman from YouTube.
Sierra versus Super ends in a disqualification because Super tried to hit her with a thumbtack wiffleball bat. But he ended up hitting the referee in the process. Now he’s being escorted out by security.
Jim Cornette breaths a sigh of relief, and tells them to end the show there. No interview segment.
“Stay tuned for more” – Jim Cornette
BTE2 Side B 2 coming soon. Please checkout BTE2 for the main storyline.
Book The Elite 2: CM Punk versus Nick Aldis part 3
Brief recap: NWA President Billy Corgan announces the rebirth of the territory era. Nick Aldis cuts an excellent promo about his upcoming match with CM Punk. Towards the end of the show, there is a limousine out front. Please read Book The Elite 2 part 2 for more info.
An except from an NWA HQ email to Jim Cornette:
“We’re aware of our past relationship, and it’s unfortunate end. But we’d like to recruit you in our efforts to restore the former glory of the NWA. Your resume speaks for itself. From SMW to OVW to ROH & Impact Wrestling. You’ve been an integral part of this business both as a manager, and a booker.
We’d like to offer 1 million dollar contract with a 25k signing bonus. You’ll be in charge of NWA-OVW, and NWA coverage will be a regular part of your “Drive thru” podcast. Our working relationship with AEW seems to be going South. Will you sit back as Kenny Omega & his outlaw pals destroy the remnants of the business?”
Jim Cornette responded to the email stating that he’d like to do a live phone call on the next edition of NWA power. Billy Corgan agreed to this. Who knows what Jim Cornette could say to Billy? The man is known for holding a grudge. But will he let things go in order to fight a greater enemy?
The start of program:
CM Punk, FTR, Jade Cargill, and Tully Blanchard are in the ring. Tully Blanchard has a microphone.
Tully Blanchard: It’s nice to be back in the NWA, if you can actually call it that! I’m glad that Billy Corgan is finally getting around to rebuilding the National Wrestling Alliance. I guess it took a real champion calling him out for it to happen.
*Tully takes a brief pause to look at CM Punk*
Tully Blanchard: But what would the NWA be without the Four Horsemen? So, I figured that I’d bring it back. Seems like the perfect time too. You’re trying to rebuild, and we want to profit off of that. All the championship gold, money, and power that comes with it.
It belongs to the Four Horsemen.
*Tully Blanchard passes the microphone to CM Punk*
CM Punk: You know I have to admit that Nick Aldis is pretty bold to refer to himself as the “The Man” last week. Meeting Ric Flair must’ve gotten him really excited. But I could’ve held the NWA championship for 16 times too. It’s pretty easy when you’re friends with everyone at the main office. I could even hold the championship for 2,800 days like Bruno did in the WWWF. It’s not that hard with his schedule. But I’ve always been the best in the world. I probably could’ve done it for 5,600 days before vacating it out of boredom.
Quite simply, I’m someone that could’ve been a star in any era. You’re the NWA champion because Billy Corgan met you at the right time. He would’ve had me as his golden goose. If I was willing to lower myself to the point of representing a sad imitation of the original National Wrestling Alliance.
I am the best in the world, and I will save the NWA from itself.
*CM Punk takes a minute to antagonize the NWA crowd like he would in his IWA mid south days*
Nick Aldis comes to the ring by himself, and a member of the ring crew hands him a microphone.
Nick Aldis: I’ve spent more than 1000 days being the man, and representing the NWA honorably. You abandoned professional wrestling for a failed UFC career. Why didn’t you start out on the amateur scene? I think I know why. You’re addicted to the payout, and crowd response that a major company gives.
Mr. BITW is too good to put in his dues. All you got was one loss, and one draw. You’re lucky they didn’t stick to the original decision. Otherwise you’d be 0-2 in the MMA world. All that time with the Gracie’s, and you still got beat.
I will retain the NWA championship, and win your AEW championship.
Because I am…v
*Before he could finish his statement the Four Horsemen attacked him*
Tully Blanchard is directing traffic as the four of them take turns hitting Nick Aldis. Jade Cargill hits Nick Aldis in the berries with the microphone. FTR picks him up to do a double powerbomb onto the NWA championship that’s resting on the canvas. CM Punk gets him up to hit the GTS but that’s stopped as Kamille, JR Kratos, and Aron Stevens come to the rescue.
Tully gets out of the ring, and Billy comes out with a referee. This is officially an 8 man tag team match. The bell is rung but the chaos resumed after a brief exchange between Jade & Kamille. The referee was forced to DQ both sides, and call for security to split them up.
All of them were escorted out of the building.
The second match:
Danhausen & Warhorse versus Bestia 666 & Mecha Wolf aka La Rebelión
Winner is Danhausen & Warhorse.
Due to the chaos at the start of the show, and the impromptu changes to the match card. The original second match has been cut to make time for Billy’s live phone call with Jim Cornette. That match would’ve been James Storm versus Brody King versus Outlandish Zicky Dice.
*Billy Corgan is in the ring*
Billy Corgan: Hello Jim, I’m so glad that you decided to discuss this with me. We’ve been having some issues with those AEW outlaws lately. What’s happened tonight is only a sign of what’s to come I’m sure.
Jim Cornette: Well, it looks like the most hated man in wrestling today is needed once again. I should have my own bat signal at this point. It could be a tennis racket in the night’s sky.
I’m not doing this for the money although that salary is wonderful. This isn’t to help you either. I’ll return to the National Wrestling Alliance to defend the legacy of NWA. I’ve got no problem covering the NWA on Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru, and the experience.
But when I become booker for NWA-OVW after signing that contract. I want full creative control over the promotion, and it’s school. If the Outlaw Four Horsemen come to my territory with gold around their wastes.
They’ll leave without it.
Thank you, Fuck you, Bye !
*Jim Cornette hangs up on Billy Corgan*
Billy Corgan: Well, I guess I’ll have to accept that. Welcome back, Jim Cornette! You haven’t changed a bit.
*The program goes off the air*
Stay tuned for BTE2 part 4!
Book The Elite 2: CM Punk vs Nick Aldis part 2
Note: Nick Aldis has dropped the NWA championship to Trevor Murdoch at NWA73. An unremarkable end to an unremarkable 1000+ day reign. Most notable part was his matches with Cody Rhodes. Personally I would’ve had Brody King or James Storm beat Nick Aldis. Nick Aldis is still NWA champion in the series for the time being.
Book The Elite 1 & Book The Elite 2 part 1
Fast recap: Nick Aldis promised a response to CM Punk in the next few episodes of Power.
At the start of the program: Both Nick Aldis, and Kamille are in the ring with NWA President Billy Corgan.
Billy Corgan: I’d to thank everyone in attendance, and the folks at home. NWA power wouldn’t be possible without you. I’ve got a surprise announcement.
*Billy Corgan pauses to take in the crowd reaction*
Billy Corgan: The territory era has returned! Ohio Valley Wrestling, ECWA, and Northeast Championship Wrestling are officially sanctioned NWA territories. We’re currently in talks with promotions in Puerto Rico, Japan, and Canada as well.
CM Punk…
*Billy Corgan is cut off by Nick Aldis*
Nick Aldis: Please allow me to address him, Billy. CM Punk is a man that loves to hear himself talk more than he loves being in the ring. When we face off I will leave with both championships. The NWA is slowly returning to it’s former glory. This is just the start.
I’ll teach these outlaw wrestlers the right way, and then they’ll beg to be apart of the NWA. This isn’t where the big boys play. The NWA is where men come to settle the score. I’ll still be NWA champion after another 1000 days.
I am the man in professional wrestling. It’s not CM Punk, Shingo Takagi, and whoever McMahon is currently fond of. The man you want to face is Nick Aldis.
*Nick Aldis steps back to let Kamille takeover*
Kamille looks at Billy & Nick at a loss for words. She looks around for a moment trying to find something to say.
Kamille: Jade’s leaving with a hotdog, and a handshake. I’ll be leaving with my NWA women’s championship.
*Nick Aldis & Billy Corgan leave*
That segment was roughly 5-8 minutes total.
The card for the show is as follows:
First match:
Kamille versus Kilynn King
Emergency stoppage ends the match. After Kamille’s powerbomb on the ring apron renders Kilynn unresponsive. There’s no winner or loser. It’s declared a no contest.
Second match:
Aron Stevens & JR Kratos versus Ant Colony
Aron Stevens tears off Fire Ant’s mask, and gets disqualified. The winner is Ant Colony.
Main Event:
Nick Aldis versus Danhausen & Warhorse
Nick Aldis wins by submission.
The closing segment:
We see CM Punk, FTR, and Jade Cargill with Tully Blanchard in a limousine. The four of them do the four horsemen hand sign for the NWA camera crew. Tully Blanchard is smiling devilishly while drinking a bottle of blue Pepsi.
*The show ends, and NWA social media is going wild right now. Fans are blowing up their posts, and the poor social media interns can’t keep up.*
Book The Elite 2 part 3 coming soon!
Book The Elite 2: CM Punk vs Nick Aldis part 1
Brief recap of Book The Elite 1 : RUSH won the AAA championship with a little help from Konnan, and friends. Kenny started to become unhinged, and challenged Matt Hardy for the inactive Omega Championship. But before that Kenny Omega lost his AEW championship to CM Punk. Kenny Omega wins the Omega Championship only to eventually drop it to Jon Moxley. Moxley rebranded the championship as the AEW Hardcore Championship.
There were a few side plots mentioned in #1 but we’ll be focusing on the CM Punk vs Nick Aldis feud. CM Punk has been trashing the National Wrestling Alliance all over social media for weeks. Tony Schiavone hasn’t been able to get any explanation of his plans for the NWA championship.
On tonight’s episode of Rampage, the AEW finally clears the air. CM Punk explains that the NWA is nothing more than a studio wrestling vanity project for some rockstar. He believes that Billy Corgan has no desire to bring it to it’s former glory. Tony tried to respond but CM Punk took the microphone.
“The fact of the matter is that the NWA will always be a vanity project. Unless it has a real star representing it. Nick Aldis is just there for a paycheck, and to cement his legacy among fans of vintage wrestling. There’s no territories, no governing body, and the NWA depends on AEW for attention. ” -CM Punk
CM Punk told the audience that he wants the title vs title 2 out of 3 falls match to take place in the Mid-South Coliseum or Madison Square Garden. Punk claims Tony Khan will be discussing it with Billy Corgan tomorrow.
The card laid out by CM Punk
The first match will be for the NWA women’s championship.
1. Kamille versus Jade Cargill
2nd is just a tag team match.
FTR versus Aron Stevens & JR Kratos
The main event is the title versus title 2 out of 3 falls match
CM Punk versus Nick Aldis
A week later Nick Aldis was asked in an interview about all of this. He called CM Punk delusional, and said “if anybody is tarnishing the NWA legacy it’s you.”
Nick Aldis is looking forward to the match against CM Punk for both championships. He believes that he will be the better representative for the wrestling world. As for the comment about NWA territories that CM Punk had made. Nick said to stay watch the upcoming episodes of Power.
To be continued…
Book The Elite 1: Disgruntled Omega comes for Big Money Matt!
I’ll continue to do vintage wrestling reviews in the future. Primarily the Tennessee territory because it’s my favorite. but I have to admit telling a story is easier, and more fun for me.
RUSH announced his departure from ROH two months ago. He’s arrives on AEW Dynamite with Konnan to make an important announcement. Rush has signed AAA & AEW contracts.
The first person he calls out is Kenny Omega promising to take the Mega Championship from him. Even suggesting that he may have friends in the back already. Should the Elite try to intervene. Don Callis comes to the ring by himself.
Don tells RUSH that he’s undeserving of a match with Kenny Omega. Tells him that he has to spend a year or two on AEW Dark get some experience with the AEW style. “Kind of like those luchadores who spend their youth doing jobs in Arena Puebla & Arena Mexico”
This line is making reference to RUSH coming from CMLL, and it’s booking philosophy. Where seniority, and family ties have a significant hold on the company. RUSH is visibly angry, and Konnan gets in front of RUSH. Konnan laughs as he pulls a copy of RUSH’s AEW contract out of his pocket.
He tells Don Callis that he may want to call the cleaners because this championship match is in the contract. Which means he gets it wherever he wants it. RUSH wants it at the upcoming PPV.
It’s the All Out PPV, and the match is underway. Great in-ring work, and good storytelling in the ring. It almost similar to Omega’s match with Okada. Kenny Omega is clearly gassed, and getting impatient halfway through.
Callis & Konnan are both at ringside. Callis pepper sprays RUSH while the referee is focusing on Kenny Omega whose trying not to tap out. RUSH let’s go of him, and knocks the referee over as he tries to stand. Kenny Omega & Don Callis take this opportunity to attack RUSH together. Konnan tries to help but Kenny hits him below the belt before tossing him back out.
Kenny Omega wants to use RUSH as an example. So, he motions for someone to come out to the ring. It’s the Good Brothers, and the Young Bucks. But as they get close to the ring, the lights go out. “Nuevos Ingobernables” appears on the entrance screen.
Andrade, Dragon Lee, Penta, and Fenix are fighting with the Elite. Don Callis ran to safety like a chicken shit heel manager should. Konnan returns the favor by hitting Kenny Omega in the nuts before leaving the ring. The Elite have been pushed back to the entrance stage.
The referee is finally back to his feet after all this. Rush finishes it with his double foot stomp finisher “La Lanza” . We have a new Mega Champion, and the men that came to his aid return to celebrate. The Lucha Brothers say that it won’t stop here. They’re coming for the AEW tag team championships.
Note: I love factions in wrestling. I also think kicking out of finishers shouldn’t be allowed. What’s so special about the move, if it doesn’t have a lethal effect?
Kenny is having a mental breakdown in the back. The Elite are trying to console him but it’s not going too well. CM Punk & Matt Hardy walk by talking about their ROH stories. CM Punk looks at him but remains expressionless. Matt Hardy chuckles, and that only makes it worse.
As the two of them walk away from Kenny. Kenny shouts that he wants to face Matt Hardy for the Omega Championship. “You named your Indy fed after me! The least you can do is give me my championship.” Kenny said to Matt Hardy.
Matt Hardy responds by telling him that he has to defend the championship against CM Punk in a steel cage. We’re going to timeskip a bit here. Punk wins the AEW championship, and issues a challenge to NWA champion Nick Aldis. A title for title 2 out of 3 falls match.
Kenny’s mental health continues deteriorate, and his actions become more eccentric. He becomes a demented version of his “Cleaner” persona. Matt Hardy keeps his word after a few Dynamites, and Rampages. It’ll be a ladder match for the Omega Championship.
But Matt Hardy adds a special stipulation to the match. The loser carries the winner’s bags, and gets their snacks for one month. Kenny Omega quickly agrees to this. Fortunately for Kenny the Wrestling God Karl Gotch took pity on him that day.
Kenny Omega becomes the new Omega Champion. Matt Hardy’s fall while trying to grab the belt saved him. It was winning the lottery or Detroit actually being good at sports. No one saw it coming because Kenny was clearly done.
Matt Hardy is currently being tended to after falling into a table. Kenny Omega is looking at the championship like it’s the ring from Lord of the Rings. He’s laughing like a really bad Joker impersonator. Don Callis quickly escorts him to the back, and into a limo. Threatening cameramen, and Tony Schiavone as he does it.
The show ends there.
Kenny Omega would spend weeks hyping up the title, and defending against every undercard guy imaginable. Jon Moxley tricks Kenny Omega into a straight jacket match for the title. Jon Moxley wins, and Kenny Omega is sent away for a bit.
Kenny Omega returns to normal. The Omega Championship is rebranded as the “AEW Hardcore Championship”. It’s design is influenced heavily influenced by Moxley, and early CZW. The one remaining indicator of it’s past is the Omega symbolism on the side plates.
