|
At ‘Anarchy At The Arena’, Celt Kennedy was beaten by the ‘Wonderkid’ Jonny Storm in the second singles meeting between the two. This evens up the scores at 1-1, these two will meet again in the future, with both wanting a win to earn bragging rights over the other.
Tommy Gunn was also on the losing side at ‘Anarchy’, in a 3 Way Title match for the FCW Tag Team Titles. Along with his tag partner BB Steele, The Gunns Of Steele are proving to be a real hit with the FCW fans.
This coming Sunday at ‘November Reign’ Celt Kennedy will take on Tommy Gunn!

‘Lord’ Graham Tomkinson will take on another challenger in his WOS challenge. The ‘Lord’ is 3-0 after beating Damien Grant, Rodd Hunter and POSION in old school rounds matches.

| FCW return to JB's!! |
|
That’s right on Sunday March 9th 2008, Future Championship Wrestling will be returning to the legendary JB’s in Dudley for our second ‘Over 18’s’ show.
The last time we ventured into ‘JB’s’ was September 2006 when we presented ‘Rock N Wrestling’. A fantastic night of wrestling was then followed by two great performances by local rock bands ‘God$ize’ and ‘The Horny Toads’.
It has been decided that for this follow up show, we are just going with a straight up ‘Over 18’s’ wrestling show. So that means we can have no rules, no disqualifications, weapons, profanity and scantily clad girls. You name it, we can have it.
What would you like to see on this show, discuss on the FCW Fan Forum.

- The main event for the evening will be a tag team match as the current FCW Champion - Saul Adams teams with his hired help - 'Red Tiger' Axel Bowen, as they take on the team of The Bouncer and Carl Mizzery.
The Bouncer is on a roll at the moment, after winning the Ring Warrior tournament in September and then gaining an impressive victory over ROH star Jimmy Jacobs at 'Anarchy At The Arena, Mizzery himself coming off the back of a victory two weeks ago against his opponent for the night Red Tiger.
On the other side we have the cocky FCW Champion - Saul Adams who is grinning from ear to ear after once again pinning the 'Anarchist' Doug Williams in the middle of the ring. His partner Axel Bowen will be looking to avenge his loss to Carl Mizzery at The Glades Arena two weeks previous.

| Ladies match announced for November Reign |
|
The first match announced is an all ladies match as Coventry's Jetta takes on Liverpool's own Lisa Fury.
Jetta has made an appearance in FCW before, where she was the fan favourite against the Sweet Saraya. However, since that appearance Jetta has developed a super hard mean streak and now takes no bull off anyone.
The hugely popular Lisa Fury will be be making her FCW debut at November Reign. Lisa has had much success all over the UK and Europe, battling the likes of Shelby Beach, Minx, Roxi and even the much larger Klondyke Kate.

| Fifth match for Anarchy At The Arena! |
|
Last night at ‘Halloween Hell’, PL4Y once again successfully defended the FCW Tag Team Titles against BB Steele and Tommy Gunn – The Gunns Of Steele in a 2/3 falls matchup.
However during the latter part of the match, Swift Justice came to the ring and nailed both Steele and Gunn with Judge’s gavel. They then took BB Steele backstage where they repeatedly beat on him
This left Tommy Gunn in the ring alone to take on both Kevin O’Neil and Brandon Thomas, the odds were just too much and PL4Y came out with the win.
FCW Management alongside head referee Joel Allen today watched footage of this match and couldn’t believed what had gone on.
Therefore at ‘Anarchy At The Arena’ on Saturday November 10th at The Glades Arena, the FCW Tag Team Titles will be on the line once more, as PL4Y defend their belts not only against The Gunns Of Steele, but also Swift Justice in a good old fashioned 3 Way Tag Team Match!!

| Nigel McGuinness' replacement revealed! |
|
With Nigel McGuinness recently having had to pull out of ‘Anarchy At The Arena’ due to a torn bicep, FCW fans have been wondering who The Bouncer would be facing. Well wonder no more – on Saturday November 10th The Bouncer will be facing none other than Ring Of Honor sickest star – Jimmy Jacobs.
Jacobs’ recent activity in ROH has certainly been questionable, those that have seen the footage involving Jay Briscoe will know what we mean. But there is no denying Jimmy’s in-ring ability though, and he’s not coming to FCW for a holiday.
The Bouncer was lined up for an ROH Title shot against McGuinness, and was understandably upset with the injury situation. However a win over Jacobs, would certainly do his future chances at an ROH Title shot no harm at all.
Don’t miss one of Jimmy Jacob’s first UK appearances, when he faces The Bouncer at The Glades Arena on Saturday November 10th.

| Halloween Hell Results |
|
- In the opening match of the night, Rodd Hunter defeated Falcon in a hard hitting rematch from ‘Endurance’, once again the popular Rodd came out on top. The ‘Swift Justice’ man was not happy, and things were to get even worse for his partner later in the evening.
At the conclusion of this match, a distressed looking Damien Grant was spotted propping up the bar.
- Next up ‘Lord’ Graham Tomikinson made another open challenge for anyone to beat him in a old school ‘British’ rule match. Spotting Damien at the bar, he challenged Damien to which he accepted. To make matters worse for Damien, the ‘Lords’ ringman for the evening was none other than his former squeeze – Kelli. Damien who was obviously distracted from the match, lost 2-0.
- Following that the FCW Champion ‘Mr Bad Attitude’ Saul Adams made his way to ringside. He stated that the only reason he was there tonight was to see his man – Red Tiger rip Carl Mizzery ‘limb from limb’. However, Red Tiger took out Carl before the show and Carl was unable to compete, so Saul said that Tiger could have the night off.
Saul decided that he needed a warm up match for his match against Doug Williams at ‘Anarchy At The Arena’. That prompted Marc Hogan into the ring, who suggested that Saul should face his former partner Blade! Saul agreed and the match was on.
In a pretty much one sided affair, Saul successfully defended the title. Marc Hogan came out to congratulate Saul on his win, gazing at the FCW Title. Saul noticed this and told Hogan that he needed to concentrate on his comeback match at The Glades Arena rather than the FCW belt.
Hogan then turned around and Blade slapped on the claw, laying Hogan out for a 3 count.
- The other half of Swift Justice was up next as The Judge faced off against FCW newcomer – Marcus Kool. Although being outweighed by over 60lbs, Marcus used his speed and agility to chalk up a debut win, much to the delight of the Baggeridge crowd.
- In the main event of the evening Brandon Thomas and Kevin O’Neil defended their FCW Tag Team Titles against The Gunns Of Steele in a 2/3 Falls matchup.
To the surprise of everyone the Gunns got the first pinfall on Brandon after about 60 seconds. A stunned PL4Y then gained their composure and cut the ring in half, centering their attack on BB Steele’s shoulder. After realising that Steele was in trouble PL4Y threw Steele out of the ring and hit him in the shoulder with a title belt. Referee Joel Allen was oblivious to this and had no choice but to count out Steele, for the equalising fall.
After than it was basically a handicap match as Steele was in no condition to re-enter the ring. PL4Y battered Tommy Gunn with everything they had, but Tommy kept kicking out. Whilst Brandon had the referee distracted Swift Justice came out and hit Tommy over the head with a gavel, and took BB Steele to the back. That was just too much for Tommy to take and he finally had to succumb to the bearhug/elbowdrop finisher of PL4Y.

| Fourth match for 'Anarchy At The Arena' signed! |
|
The fourth match for ‘Anarchy At The Arena’ has now been finalised and it will see the former FCW Champion – Carl Mizzery take on Sterling James Keenan!!
It’s been a rollercoaster 12 months for Carl Mizzery in Future Championship Wrestling, starting last September when he defeated 3 men in one night to be crowned ‘Ring Warrior’ 2006. However that great achievement was overshadowed by the 6 month losing streak he then went on.
But, he kept battling and eventually rose back to the top of FCW when he won the FCW Title in a 3Way Dance with Saul Adams and Laken Xander.
His opponent Sterling James Keenan has been making waves in the UK since 2005 in the Doncaster based 1PW promotion. Battling the likes Ulf Herman, Abyss, Scorpio and former FCW fan favourite Spud. Just last month ‘SJK’ defeated 1PW Champion – Ulf Herman to be crowned the new champion. Sterling has also featured on WWE programming in the last 6 months in matches against Mark Henry and Val Venis.
Carl Mizzery wants to get back to the top in FCW, and a victory over the Pittsburgh native will put him in good stead for his return match with Saul Adams. On the other hand SJK is making his first UK appearance outside of 1PW, and the last thing he wants is to be staring at the arena lights for the 1-2-3.

| Third match for 'Anarchy At The Arena' revealed! |
|
We now have details of the third match signed for ‘Anarchy At The Arena’ at The Glades Arena on Saturday November 10th.
On one side, the match will feature one of the most popular stars in Future Championship Wrestling history – The Bouncer.
Fans of FCW will know that The Bouncer is a former FCW Champion and on September 25th of this year he also won a one night, eight man tournament to be crowned FCW’s Ring Warrior 2007. This is a feat that he accomplished once before, back in 2005.
As the FCW Champion he took on all comers – from The Judge to Andy ‘Boy’ Simmonz, to ‘Rowdy’ Ricky Knight each time coming away with his most prized possession around his waist.
His opponent for the night is someone that is no stranger to tournaments himself – that being Ring Of Honor star - Nigel McGuinness. Earlier in the year Nigel became the very first ‘King Of Europe’ at The Liverpool Olympia by defeating TNA’s Rhino, Pac, Davey Richards and the ‘Anarchist’ Doug Williams in the final.
As good as that victory was, his star was to shine much brighter a few months later. As followers of Ring Of Honor will know, Nigel recently beat Takeshi Morishima to become the new ROH Champion.
The match between Bouncer and Nigel has been bandied about by FCW Management for a couple of months, and now we have managed get both sides to sign on the dotted line.
Nigel McGuinness will be coming to The Glades Arena on Saturday November 10th to face The Bouncer, and he will be bringing the ROH Title belt with him. He’s not just bringing the belt for show though.
British born - Nigel McGuinness will be defending the ROH Title against The Bouncer! That’s right, Nigel will be defending the belt on UK soil in front of his fellow countrymen.
This is a great opportunity for The Bouncer, and all of us here at Future Championship Wrestling are fully behind his shot at the ROH Championship.

| Second match for 'Anarchy At The Arena' revealed! |
|
The second match for ‘Anarchy At The Arena has been signed and it’s a rematch from our ‘Shockwave’ show at Baggeridge back in April.
PL4Y member and Manchester’s finest – Celt Kennedy will once again take on the well traveled highflyer – the ‘Wonderkid’ Jonny Storm!
The first time these two met Kennedy was the one that had his hand raised in victory, much to the chagrin of the FCW fans
Since that defeat in April, Jonny spent most of the summer battling the other members of PL4Y in tag and singles contests. Now the ‘Wonderkid’ returns to FCW on Saturday November 10th and goes straight back into the lions den to put right a few wrongs, and first on his list is Mr Celt Kennedy.
So, the rematch has been signed – batten down the hatches!

| First match for 'Anarchy At The Arena' revealed! |
|
The first match for our debut show at The Glades Arena on Saturday November 10th has been signed and it’s an FCW Title match!
Over the last 12 months ‘Mr Bad Attitude’ Saul Adams has been almost unstoppable in FCW. Since ditching his ‘Devil’s Advocate’ tag team partner, Damien Grant, he’s gone on to become a two time FCW champion. He lost his title in June to Carl Mizzery in a 3Way Dance, although he never got pinned in the match. Then at Endurance this past September, Saul demanded his return match and defeated the popular Mizzery.
During his two stints as champion Saul has faced and defeated many challengers, but the one that really took him to the limit was the ‘Anarchist’ Doug Williams. Many thought that when these two met back in January, Doug’s experience would take him to the top of FCW, but it wasn’t to be.
FCW Management has on many occasions expressed their dislike for ‘Mr Bad Attitude’, and hates the fact that Saul is the standard bearer for the company. FCW Management would like nothing more than to hear at the end of the night ‘the winner of the match, and NEW FCW Champion – ‘Anarchist Doug Williams’
So, the return match has been signed –
FCW Title – ‘Mr Bad Attitude’ Saul Adams vs ‘Anarchist’ Doug Williams.

| Halloween Hell - First match signed! - 16/10 |
|
The first match has been signed for our annual Halloween show at The Baggeridge Centre in Lower Gornal.
At ‘Endurance’ in September, Tommy Gunn made an impressive return to FCW with a upset victory over one half of the FCW Tag Team Champions – ‘Tomcat’ Kevin O’Neil. His delight at victory was short-lived as PL4Y enforcer Marc Hogan came out and attacked Gunn’s already damaged back.
Then one week later at ‘Deliverance’, Brandon Thomas and Kevin O’Neil granted Tommy Gunn and BB Steele – The Gunns Of Steele an FCW Tag Team Title shot. The challengers used all the speed and wits to try a wrestle the straps from the champions, but were ultimately defeated by much more experienced title holders.
Then later that same evening both teams featured in an 8 Man Survivor match, Tommy and BB Steele were the eventual winners, pinning both O’Neil and Thomas in the process.
The Gunns Of Steele felt that they asked for their title shot a little too early, as Tommy Gunn showed obvious signs of discomfort during both matches. But come Sunday October 28th, they feel that they will both be at 100%.
On behalf of the team, BB Steele contacted FCW Management this afternoon and asked for another shot at the gold. Due to the Gunns Of Steele getting pinfalls over the champions in the Survivor match at ‘Deliverance’, it was decided that they deserved another shot. Only this time, in a 2 out of 3 falls match!

| Damien Grant - A tale of woe |
|
Three months ago life was perfect for ‘the ladies favourite’, he had an army of FCW fans cheering him on towards FCW gold and above all else he had the gorgeous Kelli on his arm.
In June during one of his matches a courier came to ringside and gave Kelli and bunch of flowers, distracted by this Damien took his eye off the match and suffered a defeat. Upset at the loss he exited the ring and had a word with Kelli, asking who the flowers were off. She had no idea who sent them, and Grant accepted this and they left hand in hand.
In July Kelli was mysteriously absent from Damien’s’ side, and the rumour mill went into overdrive.
The following month at Redemption, Damien and his partner for the night BB Steele took on Brandon Thomas and Kevin O’Neil for the FCW Tag Team Titles. Once again mid-way through the match a courier came to ringside and gave Kelli another bouquet of flowers. Getting ever more suspicious, Damien Grant turned to question Kelli who was behind these flowers once again. It was just the distraction which PL4Y required and Damien Grant found himself on the wrong end of the winning pin.
Kelli got into the ring after the match to console Damien. Frustrated he demanded to know who was sending the flowers for once and for all.
Kelli then dropped the biggest bombshell of all for it was Kelli who was sending the flowers to herself. She screamed at Damien that she had hoped it would spear him on towards victory if he believed he had to fight to keep Kelli, but it had worked against him as his jealousy cost him match after match.
Kelli continued to yell at Damien that she was using him to get into the business and would no longer associate herself with losers. A distraught Damien stood lost for words and was thoroughly incapable of defending himself as the Tomcat Kevin O’Neil and Brandon Thomas run back into the ring and attacked him. Holding the broken Damien Grant upright Kelli laid the last blow kicking Damien to his knees.
The following month saw Damien Grant being entered into the annual Ring Warrior Tournament. The MC called his name out but Damien was no-where to be seen. Damien would have had to face the Tomcat Kevin O’Neil in his bout, though due to his absence O’Neil took on and was defeated by the returning Tommy Gunn. Incensed by the loss O’Neil called out PL4Y enforcer – Marc Hogan to dish out some pain, re-injuring Tommy’s back.
Tommy Gunn was taken to Russell’s Hall Hospital for tests, and was fortunately given the all clear.
Later on that evening a ruckus interrupted the second half of the evening as a clearly drunk and disorderedly Damien Grant staggered through the crowd and made his way back to the locker room calling out for Kelli. Head Referee Joel Allen tried to turn him away but Grant was determined to wrestle. Joel eventually convinced him to remain back stage and sober up.
This leads us up to Deliverance at Haden Hill Leisure Centre. PL4Y, now accompanied by Kelli, had just successfully defended their tag team belts against the Gunns of Steele and were gloating over their win. Unannounced Damien Grant made his way to the ring pleading with Kelli to take him back. Kelli listened but remained unmoved. She stood fiercely behind her new charges at first but then it seemed like she was wavering and was about to give him a chance. As she went to walk towards him O’Neil and Thomas leapt forward and knocked Damien down once more. Kelli then stood over Grant and screamed at him as she held the belts up high that he was a loser before sauntering off with the champions.
This was the fuel that Damien needed though. No sooner had PL4Y left the ring Grant got back on the mic and called out for his former tag partner and current FCW Champion Saul Adams. Despite Saul having stated at the beginning of the evening that he was having the night off, Grant pleaded on his hands and knees for a shot at the title to prove to Kelli that he was championship material. He even went as far to say that he would do anything for a title shot.
He must have struck a chord somewhere with his former partner as the match was agreed for a one chance only shot at the gold.
The match was on and Damien Grant was firing on all cylinders. It actually looked as if he stood more than a fighting chance of winning. His hopes all came crashing down though when Saul Adams was disqualified for pushing the referee.
Where does Damien Grant go next? He lost his one chance at winning the FCW title through no fault of his own and has lost his girl. Slowly but surely he also seems to be losing his mind. To add to his woes Damien is also indebted to his former ally Saul Adams, when will he call in his favour and what could it possibly be?
