RESULTS, EWA THROWDOWN, 3 NOVEMBER 2023, LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA

Dario Krznar kicks this show off by inviting in his Slovene compatriots - first Rihard Pretner from Tier 3, who gets a pretty good pop, then Tier 1 OG Jure Žabranič, who gets a massive pop!
Galin Liapchev def. Tirone by pinfall. The Stooges try to get involved by Liapchev had apparently anticipated this and enlisted help from the ACA to keep the match fair!
The Weekenders def. Tre Kronor by pinfall, but they had to cheat to do so, and the fans let the "victors" know their displeasure.
Dario and Rihard decide to participate in a tag team match; another impromptu tag team is made up as Valenciano has gone home to Honduras for the next Tier 3 event (in San Pedro Sula); Rami therefore recruits Zekey T from the Edgecrushers. "It'll be a good even match," the Guatemalan says.
(In the Slovene-language broadcast, the three Slovenes cut a promo here) In the English-language broadcast, Sexy Streamer flirts it up with Diesel Montgomery, but the American is having none of it. When he tells her that he has a girlfriend, she first tries to coax him away, then throws a slight tantrum (exaggerated to make her breasts bounce more), which leads him to say, "look, if Tammy gets word of this, she and her tag partner from Tier 3 will beat you so bad y'all need to get more surgery just to get the imprints out of yo' fake ass! Sexy Streamer slaps him and storms off.
Samira and Karim Alam def. Robbie Irschick and Ingrid Magnussen by pinfall.
Dario Krznar and Rihard Pretner def. Rami and Zekey T by pinfall. As Rami predicted, it was close. The most surprising thing was that it was Rihard rather than Dario that got the pin as he hit Zekey with the Triglav Driver. But the match was a good fifteen minutes long, and the fans showed their appreciation!
Samira def. Constance (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 2 Women's TV Title! (Second reign.) Actually a really good match even though it only went eight minutes. There were ample opportunities for both contenders, and the Persian Princess actually kicked out of Woman Overboard about 90 seconds before she hit the Dushanbe Drop for the 1-2-3.
Diesel Montgomery is ganged up on by The Beautiful People's male contingent backstage, but after a few minutes, Ex Machina's entire membership (Nabiyev, Fabrice Lacroix, Toni Alves, and Han Ming-Sze) shows up to bail him out.
Team Palestine def. Team JoJo by pinfall.
Ash Stevenson © def. Chongrak Mahidol by pinfall. Stevenson put on an absolute clinic in this match, and even someone as competent as Mr. Chongrak could not hold up against the natural athletic ability and precocious talent of the former Hooligan.
Speaking of the Working Class Hooligans, Warren Thomson is confronted and attacked backstage by the Dockers, and put through a table before the arrival of The Goons forces them into retreat.
Radko Bekesza def. Kadreddin Nabiyev, Ioane Niko, and Ilias Pathakos to become the #1 contender for the Tier 2 Hardcore Championship at First Blood. (Four-way elimination hardcore match, narrow-FCA rules) This was a beastly match. It could easily have been the main event of a show! Nabiyev held out fairly well, but it was Bekesza taking advantage of just a single miscue, whacking the former Lord Dredd with a couple of kendo stick shots and then ending the match with the GRB.
The Abominations attack Dario Krznar and Rihard Pretner backstage, leading Jure Žabranič to demand a match against both of them. Although Sookie Sam and Paul Morgenstern both offer their services as a tag team partner, Žabro decides to take them on alone.
Jure Žabranič def. The Abominations by pinfall (Handicap match). The Slovenian fans were going wild after this one! Kollector was taken out of the picture early when Žabranič felled him with a vicious side kick and then ragdolled him out of the ring! So most of the match was actually one on one between the Slovene titan and Seven, who in spite of his attempts at dirty tricks was no match for the one-time former EWA Champ! Some clubbing blows, a powerslam, a vertical suplex, and a missile dropkick later, he was in trouble, and got planted with the Slovene Spike to win the match!
Muhammad Abderamane © def. Han Ming-Sze to retain the Tier 2 TV Title. Han looked a bit tired after the earlier brawl with The Beautiful People, so this match didn't last very long.
MAIN EVENT: The Samoan Studs def. A Legion Of Spiders (r.b. Supaida and Spider-Mata), Jolly Roger (r.b. Buccaneer Briggs and ibn-Fatih), The Troublemakers (r.b. KD Chase and Willie Giove), The Barbary Boyz, and The Cleanup Guys in a Tag-Team Hexagon match to become #1 contenders at First Blood. This match was fun to watch because of the number of styles represented! The Samoan Studs won an early battle of brawlers against The Troublemakers, but we also saw power moves (from Spider-Mata and the Studs), high-flying (from both Jolly Roger members, ibn-Fatih, and Farshaan), martial arts (mostly from Farshaan with a bit from Supaida), and technical wrestling (especially from The Barbary Boyz but also from Jabrail). It was the Studs that won out over The Barbary Boyz in the end because of superior strength. Selmar MacLeod was right: "This was one of the best matches of the second half of 2023. An amazing mix of styles to impress the fans here in Ljubljana! Great way to end Throwdown!

So we have some of our first matches set for First Blood! The Efendiyev Twins will go toe to toe with the Samoan Studs for the Tier 2 Tag Team Championships, while Hassan Saramankov will face Radko Bekesza for the Tier 2 Hardcore Championship! More matches are set to be made next week starting at Up-And-Coming on Tuesday in Maribor! Among others, we will see the TV Titles contested again - for the men it's Abderamane taking on Dario Krznar, and for the women, Samira vs. Milenka! Could we see two Slovenes leaving their country with EWA gold? And what other matches do we have in store? Find out next Tuesday!

RESULTS, EWA MANIACAL, 4 NOVEMBER 2023, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA

Red Power Tier 2 members AJ Sandoval and Nick Matthew arrive for a "tune-up" match for the Gang Warfare booked for Monday. There's a bit of a pop since AJ is from California (more specifically, Modesto).
Benny Thorvaldssen def. Bruce Stuart by disqualification after Tris Marks tries to get involved in the match. A huge brawl ensues between the men of their two factions.
Danae Pathakos © def. Paulina Kobaladze by pinfall to retain the EWA Women's TV Title.
The Banshees def. Hooliganettes by pinfall, and as payback for Tris Marks' attempted interference earlier, Siobhann Carlyle decided she'd get involved post match as she and the Banshees unloaded a vicious assault on them, but a surprising save by Kristi Pathakos evened the odds!
Devin Elliss © def. Angel Gálavez by pinfall. It was quite the feat of strength seeing Elliss pick up the larger Gálavez for the Texas Stampede!
Nick Matthew and AJ Sandoval def. The Llanfair Brothers by pinfall. Everyone's favourite Welsh Tier 1 jobbers get dropped again, but this match was close. What was the most surprising was how much AJ had improved. He was the one that ended up getting the pin after hitting his Navajorana finisher.
A Double Dose Of Death © def. From Russia With Love by pinfall. Mattias Vlahos was the unquestionable star of this one, taking the fight hard to Vyacheslav Antropov. As good as Big Slava is, he had no chance against the EWA OG.

Excelsior in Los Angeles Monday night! A lot of big matches planned for the Staples Center! Besides the Gang Warfare main event between The Kold Family and Red Power, you have an Americas title #1 contender match between Mark Wylie and Gordan Bogdanovič, the TV Title matches - men's between Devin Elliss and Vyacheslav Antropov, women's between Danae Pathakos and Yukiko Kawachi, and a Tag Team Championship match between the Lords of Lancashire and Czechmates.

RESULTS, EWA FIRST BLOOD, 12 NOVEMBER 2023, WARSAW, POLAND

The All-Blacks def. The Abominations by pinfall. One of the better Tier 2 curtain-jerkers this year. The best moment was Manu breaking the Soul Stealer by ripping Kollector's hand out of his mouth, and he actually gagged in the process, but after doing so, he hit a quick Samoan Drop to disorient him long enough for the tag. Taiaho did well against the larger but less experienced Seven and finished the match with his patented Maori Driver getting the 1-2-3.
Armand de Vlieger def. Tirone by pinfall (All Cosa Nostra members barred from Ringside). It became apparent very quickly that mere victory wasn't the only goal of either of these men. Armand was limping a little by the time he finally won, but he wasn't as worse for wear as his Sammarinese opponent!
Sahba Mourit and Nassim Toual def. Anjali and Chongrak Mahidol by submission.
Raisa Nakisa and Kadreddin Nabiyev def. Tama Nimo and Harumi Kitagawa (pc) to win the Tier 2 Intergender Tag Team Championship! (First reign) Poor Harumi was a sorry sight after the match, basically begging for Tama's forgiveness even though he kept telling her it was alright. Basically what happened is that Nakisa blind-tagged Nabiyev just as he was about to be put up for the Nautilus by Nimo; the referee kept telling the big Samoan that Nabiyev had been tagged out, but before he could get it through his head, Nakisa went tearing across the ring to land a big running drop kick to an entering Harumi, and she wasn't quite able to get her footing, eventually going down to the Kabob.
Carlota def. Martyna Sarbenkova (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 2 Women's TV Title! (second reign). Sarbenkova looked tired in this one, and Carlota took full advantage. Borderline squash.
Dario Krznar © def. Captain Redbeard by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 TV Title. Unquestionably, Krznar's best-ever match, and he himself said so in an interview afterwards. I guess the high of having won this title in his home city of Maribor really has made him determined to cling to this title!
Jabrail © def. Heavy Devy by submission to retain the Tier 2 Americas Championship. Another banger of a match even though it was a shorter one.
Radko Bekesza def. Hassan Saramankov (pc) to win the Tier 2 Hardcore Championship! (Second reign).
The Kombat Klub (r.b. The Nauruan National Wrestling Team and Karti Paramita) def. The Beautiful People (Straight Outta GQ (Gamboa and Théo Beaujean) and Jimmy Mboya) and Ex Machina (r.b. Toni Alves, Fabrice Lacroix, and Han Ming-Sze) by pinfall (3X3 match); while officially a 3X3, this was little more than a beatdown of The Beautiful People for their misdeeds, and they knew it. You have to feel bad for Théo Beaujean getting squashed with the 400+ pound Shawn Agir's Banzai Drop, but as Joey said, "I guess beauty doesn't always win!" I loved how the gang cracked up at Silas McMorrigan's perfectly timed "SPLAT!" when Agir landed the move. But then there was Joey Styles going crazy again as only Joey Styles can when Han Ming-Sze hit a slingshot Swanton Bomb on Gamboa and Kennan Aroi, such that Joey said "¡OH DIOS MIO!" and a few moments later said, "I really gotta learn 'oh my God' in Taiwanese!"
Polish Power © def. Blood Sisters (Elfie and Milenka) and Sorellanza by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 Women's Tag Team Championship. The home fans propelled them to the victory! In particular, Tina from Sorellanza got wrecked by Kasia Iwańska as she executed the Polish Destroyer to perfection!
Lieutenant Zerbo def. Abdul Yasirov and Paul Morgenstern (pc) by pinfall to win Tier 2 Old World Championship! (Triple Threat; first reign!) Three guys from three face stables (the ACA, the God Squad, and the Edgecrushers) putting on a solid match, and handshakes all around afterwards. Zerbo actually surprised with his extra finesse, hitting the Call To Arms on the 6'8" Morgenstern as he was trying to set Yasirov up for the Excommunication and thus putting him out of commission long enough to hit Yasirov with the same move and get the 1-2-3.
Yuriko Motomori def. Azumi Yoshida by submission. (Oversized Cage Hardcore match) I don't think we'll be seeing the Overly Attached Waifu for a while now. The two contenders reefed on each other with kendo sticks all match long, breaking no fewer than six of them between the two, but it became apparent that The Dark Lady took her bumps much better than her opponent; in spite of being the third-shortest woman on the entire roster, her ferocity, surprising strength, and technical ability more than made up for the two-inch height difference as she hit the Deathstrike DDT then locked in a hold we hadn't seen her perform before, a katagatame combined with a body scissors, which we later learned she calls the Gosu-gatame (gosu meaning Goth, which is the main part of Yuriko's gimmick)! Bloodied from the last series of kendo stick shots, the envy-ravaged and much-bloodied Yoshida weakly tapped out, having almost passed out.
Ash Stevenson © def. Angie van Eijkeren to retain the Tier 2 Cruiserweight Championship; Ash actually shook Angie's hand after the match for putting on such a solid match; backstage he said, "She earned my full respect there. That was one hell of a fight!"
The Samoan Studs def. The Efendiyev Twins (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 2 Tag Team Championship! (Fifth reign) A quick about-face for Tama after losing the Intergender Tag Title; as valiant as the Efendiyev Twins were, the size and strength disadvantage coupled with the Studs' near-equal speed to theirs was just too much. There were no blind tags this time, either - Nimo was able to hit the Nautilus on Elkhan to finish the match as Iopa Misa kept Yashar at bay outside, eventually hitting him with a Samoan Driver on the outside padding.
The Kombat Klub (r.b. Hellcats (Rasuna and Qian Qian-Min) and Shannon Kim) def. The Beautiful People (women), The Ice Queens, and The Arab League (r.b. Safa and Salibah Mourit and Aaliyah) (4-way trios elimination). The first ever match of this type in EWA history, this match took a sharp turn early as Sexy Streamer was abandoned by Saimi and Irina in the ring as she was being pummeled by members of the other three trios, as Aaliya and Oksana (neither of whom were tagged in) laughed sadistically. The buxom Mexican was left an absolute mess, especially since Karla Goncharenka and Salifah Mourit (who started the match) tagged her former stablemates in to pound on her before Rasuna locked in her Komodo Bite submission manoeuvre, which had her tapping almost instantly as she howled in pain. But the Kombat Klub wasn't done dishing out punishment, not by a long shot! They turned on the Ice Queens and the Arab League in a fingersnap and the match quickly devolved into total chaos as the three martial arts experts went to work. Qian Qian-Min actually knocked out Anatoliya Kiryginskaya as the legal woman in and so eliminated the Ice Queens, and Shannon Kim eliminated Aaliyah with Clearbroken to all but end the match. She didn't go for the pin as the two remaining Mourit Triplets tried to come in to interfere, but she was blind-tagged out by Rasuna, who Big Booted Safa Mourit then made Salibah tap to the Komodo Bite. But
Delina def. Ágata (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 2 Women's Championship (first reign!) One of the longer women's matches of this year, Ágata was surprised (and even a little impressed) that Delina did as well as she did, with two women's all-rounders countering each other's moves for a good chunk of the match, and the fans loving it! All it took was one error by the Colombian to allow Delina to set up her Deleter. 1-2-3. Gail Kim said that that was one of the best women's matches she'd seen in the entire EWA - could this be a hint that both might have a shot at promotion?
Sookie Sam © def. Japhet al-Nazr to retain the Tier 2 EWA Championship (First Blood match - first person to bleed loses, Hardcore rules). Not afraid of the hardcore stuff, Sookie actually won this by bloinging Japh over the head with his trademark wooden mask! This was actually a surprisingly short match, lasting just over three minutes - a bit anticlimactic, but Sookie later admitted he wasn't expecting the Syrian-born American to bleed so quickly, and judging by the profanity from Japh, neither was he! The victor looked genuinely confused by the quickness that it ended! Japhet had to have a couple splinters removed afterwards, but you do wonder whether the big Vancouver Islander is going to hold his title straight through to his inevitable promotion or drop the belt at Winter War!

So the road to Helsinki begins! It's going to be a long trip, but it will get very close to Helsinki very quickly before changing course! Here's the TV schedule for the next five weeks! Check exwrest.intfam.ca for the locations of house shows!

RESULTS, EWA EXCELSIOR, 13 NOVEMBER 2023, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

A tale of two locker rooms. Both Sebastian Brown and Don George are trying to keep their respective factions from interfering in the big three-way dance main event, as Joseph Ndali returns to the ring to face George and JP Myllyjärvi for the Americas Championship
Devin Elliss def. Bohdán Váněk by pinfall. Even if he lost the TV Title to Jure Žabranič last week, The Raging Redneck is hardly deterred, and he said afterwards in an interview that he's going to fight to get his shots, whether at the Americas Title or the Hardcore Title. Great curtain-jerker, really setting the atmosphere in San Antonio because Texas is Elliss' home state! Elliss looked quite good, in fact!
The Unstoppables def. Team Lietuva Originals by pinfall. Even though Dean is the current EWA Champion, he may also have a good shot at Tag Team gold alongside "friendly archrival" Andros Pathakos!
Before her TV Title match, Yukiko Kawachi warns Persephone that she is her next target!
Yukiko Kawachi © def. Sapphira by submission to retain the EWA Women's TV Title. Absolute squash, and Sapphira was wondering where Sabrina was to bail her out!
Alice Fleury cuts a promo and calls out all the women who are rated higher than her that she should be higher than, which apparently really pisses off Rhiannon, who challenges her to a match later in the evening.
Tris Marks does an interview and states that he's "going to put the bollocks with Ryan and them behind him" and start shooting for higher gold, and has said he's eyeing a run at the Old World Championship, even if Hakan Berat is the current #1 contender. He starts sounding less heelish than before, and says he'd "rather like to face Elijah," whom he hasn't faced in years and sees as having improved a lot since then. "Much more worthy opponent now."
Matt McIntyre def. Jindřich Němeček by pinfall.
Jure Žabranič © def. Dragan Kovačević by pinfall to retain the EWA TV Title.
Blacademix def. The Tatra Force by pinfall. The two New Englanders are looking strong!
The Lords of Lancashire do an interview afterwards about it. "I honestly think they would be a good match for us," Nick Trentham said. "A lot of people underestimate their technical ability. But then again, I think they underestimate our physical strength and ability with slams. We'll see come Advent." But they are interrupted by the Álvarez brothers, who insist, "you can't defend at a PPV if you don't have the belts anymore!" Looks like we got ourselves a big match for a forthcoming TV show!
Žydrunas Janvāris def. Ari K by pinfall.
Kristi Pathakos def. Siobhann Carlyle by pinfall; after a few episodes of things stewing between the two, Kristi finally put an end to it. Sheena and Gaill McIntyre were nowhere to be found.
Backstage, Georgios Pathakos tells his wife that he is "very proud of her" and kisses her on the forehead. "Now let's put this behind us, shall we?" But leaving, the two are attacked by the McIntyres - all four of them! Kris Senior says it best: "This will not end well for them."
Alice Fleury def. Rhiannon by pinfall, but man oh man was this match sloppy! Gail Kim afterwards said, "I don't think I've seen a match that sloppy in a top-tier promotion since the second half of Rebel vs. Shelly Martinez seven years ago!" To which Silas quipped, "At least neither of them started screaming about their lady bits!" Gail elbowed him, but Joey and Kris Senior just laughed.
Bassam al-Wadud © def. Jack Smith by pinfall to retain the EWA Cruiserweight Championship. After an open challenge was answered by Smith, security had to forcibly remove Dok from the area (eventually aided by Mattias Vlahos and Elijah) but the match itself was a good fair fight... and also a squash. Jack Smith made several blunders and the Palestinian-Lebanese-Canadian more than took advantage, landing the Tripoli Twist after not even three minutes had passed.
MAIN EVENT: Don George def. JP Myllyjärvi and Joseph Ndali (pc) by pinfall to win the EWA Americas Championship! (Triple Threat) No shenanigans this time from any of the stables, just a fair fight, and Don George redeemed himself for his recent actions by putting on something of a clinic! Of course, with Advent less than two weeks away now, the question will be, who will the big Grizzly be facing?

Off to the home of the Cowboys and the Stars for Uprising! Has the Clan McIntyre truly turned heel or are they just still upset about Kristi sticking her nose where they felt it didn't belong? Is Tris Marks starting to rethink his ways? Can the Lords of Lancashire withstand the Andalucian onslaught as they face the Álvarez Brothers in Wednesday night's main event? Can Alice Fleury stop her own downward spiral at Rhiannon's expense, or will the opposite happen? Plus, Yukiko Kawachi is lined up against Queen Helen for the Women's TV Title, and Jure Žabranič will face Nikica Antolašić, Asim Prodanović, and Alexi Kousouris in a battle of the Balkan giants in a four-way elimination TV Title bout!

RESULTS, EWA UP-AND-COMING, 14 NOVEMBER 2023, BIAŁYSTOK, POLAND

"The first show after First Blood, and even if this isn't one of the premier shows we can still expect some serious ramifications from Sunday night in what seems to be the beginning of the end of The Beautiful Peopleǃ" - Selmar MacLeod
A clearly injured Sexy Streamer comes out to the ring alone, not even accompanied by the male contingent of the dying stable, and tells "her side of the story" while having to deal with "slut" and "kurwa" chants from a rambunctious crowd, and she eventually breaks down sobbing. The former female members of TBP come out and take her to task for her promiscuous ways, but two of the men - Théo Beaujean and Gamboa - come out to defend her. Things deteriorate further when Oksana calls Gamboa a "total cuck" as he is supposed to be her boyfriend and "yet she's slept with how many men under your nose, including your stablemates?"
- After a good ten minutes of bickering, an extremely irritated Jimmy Mboya finally shows up and spills the beans on everyone. "Let's be honest! Other than me and Oksana, everybody in this accursed stable has cheated at least once! And don't say you haven't, because I have the sleepless nights, the trips to the biobed room to correct blown vocal folds from yelling at you, and the audio recordings from within our bunk room to prove it! So that putita has the highest 'body count?' That does not absolve any one of you! As of today, I am done with all of you! Well, except you, Oksana, because even if you still partook in the vanity of this group, at least you are faithful! And you two manwhores *points at Théo and Gamboa*? You can both go straight to Hell!" Infuriated, they leave the ring and run towards Jimmie only for The Urban Warriors' Diesel Montgomery and Big O to come to his aid!
Radko Bekesza def. Jefferson Wylie by submission (non-title match). After a good fifteen minutes of the whole Beautiful People mess and a few "we want wrestling" chants, they finally get a good curtain-jerker with Big Rad showing he doesn't just down hardcore but can actually wrestle a good technically-enhanced match as well! Opting to not use his GRB finisher, he instead hooked in an STF and made the burly Aussie tap.
Double-A def. Bald Mountain (Andriy Sarbenko and The Reaper) by pinfall. Decent pop here. Białystok is relatively close to Lithuania, so no real surprise there.
The bickering continues backstage as Aaliyah chirps Jimmy Mboya for "daring to call an Arab woman unfaithful, potentially endangering her life." With Big O and Diesel still there, now joined by Dolfo and DJ Carlito, nothing physical comes of it even with the men of the Arab League also there.
Carlota © def. Kirsten Kjetilssen by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 Women's TV Title.
Seven def. Timi Vinidi by pinfall.
Sexy Streamer leaves the premises, saying she is headed for Warsaw to fly home. Théo and Gamboa start arguing over whose fault it is, only to be approached by God-Squadders Paul Morgenstern and Japhet al-Nazr. Japhet says, "If you want to know whose fault it is, look in the mirror. The fact that Théo is among the masses who have known her that way, and Gamboa has allowed it, have both contributed to this problem." Théo wants to punch him, but Gamboa restrains him, saying that doing so would get them completely destroyed.
Dario Krznar © def. Karim Alam by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 TV Title. While he's starting to look a little tired, Dario still got a pretty good W over Karim.
Saimi Attinen and Irina Valdez decide to dissolve The Beautiful People's women's contingent, but remain friends. "Now to find that Twitch-thot and teach her a lesson!" But before they can leave the room, they are confronted by The Ice Queens. Oksana says, "You need to get your own houses in order before going after her. Jimmy was right, you know. My boyfriend may not have cheated on me with you, or vice versa. But I know you've both slept around. Even if she has a tree growing out of her eye, you still need to remove the log from yours." She then goes out to a match.
Pavlina def. Oksana by pinfall; Oksana was interfered with by the rather butthurt Saimi and Irina, who in turn get pounded on by Karla Goncharenka and Anatoliya Kiryginskaya.
MAIN EVENT: Jimmy Mboya and Sookie Sam def. Straight Outta GQ by pinfall. What started out as a backstage fight was turned into a match by Kris Pathakos, Jr., but any chance of Straight Outta GQ winning this match died when the clangy intro music of Sookie Sam hit! The look on their faces was hilarious as the big Canadian walked with purpose down to the ring, pulling off his trademark mask and dropping it to the ground. And when Gamboa tried to interfere with the clobbering Sookie was giving Théo, Jimmy yanked him off the top turnbuckle and locked in Kenyatta Mondatta on the outside of the ring as the Tier 2 Champ finally hit the Frenchman with TIMBER!!! for the 1-2-3.

Into Lithuania for Blitz as we come from Kaunas - hometown to the Maklėvičius family! The main event will see Danute get a crack at the Tier 2 Women's Championship currently held by Delina! Sexy Streamer is reported out until at least Winter War and possibly into 2024, but the other former Beautiful People members will have to cope with past reputation making them personae non gratae; Dario Krznar will face Aurėlijus Maklėvičius for the TV Title, while the Women's TV Title will see Carlota go toe-to-toe with stable-less Saimi Attinen. Plus, Straight Outta GQ look to go it alone as a tag team as they face Adomas Kirvaitis and Raimondas Žutautas, and The Ice Queens take on the Arab League's Mourit Triplets in a trios match!

RESULTS, EWA SLOBBERKNOCKER, 14 NOVEMBER 2023, KINGSTON, JAMAICA

Angel Lorenzo Batista announces that the main event of the evening is going to be a #1 Contender's Match for the Tier 3 EWA Championship held by Zamir Bokoyev, to face the Kyrgyz Crippler at Mayhem! The Hexagon match will see Raputo Kisimba, Jonny Armaghanyan, Viktors Rozentals, Spurgeon MacEachern, Egidijus Stravinskas, and Robert Mensik square off.
In the backstage area, some of the women are talking about how "a whole bunch of new women" will be debuting in Tier 3 in January
The Superheroines (Crystal Woman and Dyana Pathakos) def. Back Country Belles by pinfall. Two matches, two wins for the debuting tag team including Dyana Pathakos, who is very quickly adjusting to tag team wrestling!
The EWA Chamber Orchestra def. Tua and Lauren Hadlee by pinfall.
Denzel Bryant def. Ioane Niko (pc) to win the Tier 3 TV Title! A mid-grade upset here, and the fans loved it!
Jamaal Andrews cuts a promo and calls Zamir Bokoyev out, but the Kyrgyz isn't having any of it. The two square off in a brawl and are finally separated by Serik Ibrashev and two members of the Caribbean Connection along with several security officers.
Yordan Velichkov and Nate Radkov def. Vino and Vad by pinfall.
The God Squad are hyping Big Spurge up backstage when Jamaal Andrews tries to attack the big Scot, only to get mobbed by the Squad and dragged out of the mess by several CC members.
In a meeting in their own locker room, Jamaal Andrews is taken to task by the rest of the Connection for his behaviour, and Jamaal goes after official group leader Denzel Bryant in particular after saying "Just because you have gold and I don't you t'ink you better than me all of a sudden?" He is eventually repelled and storms off in a huff.
Realizing what has just happened, Big Xeno decides to take matters into his own hands and gives Jamaal a shot at his Old World gold. Big Xeno © def. Jamaal Andrews by pinfall. In what had to be his best career match, the big Cypriot took full advantage of an angry Jamaal, who made a number of mistakes. In spite of being from the Caribbean, Andrews was mercilessly booed for the entire match, undoubtedly for attacking the hometown guy Bryant. After the match, Denzel Bryant came out and notified Andrews that he had been "booted" from the stable for his erratic behaviour, and when he tried to attack Bryant again, he caught a Spear - but from God Squadder Spurgeon MacEachern! The Big Scot then brought him up the stage and landed The Final Word on him to finally shut him up!
Scott McNally def. Chris Malunga by submission.
Lady Kez © def. Foluke by pinfall to retain the Tier 3 Women's TV Title. Foluke didn't look too bad by Tier 3 standards, admittedly, but the North Cypriot Turk looked so much better, showing off her aerial skills!
Naheed def. Gudi by pinfall.
Michael Colding © def. Naiden Bogdanovič by submission to retain the Tier 3 Hardcore Championship. Where things started going south for the Bog Boys' cousin is when Colding got out of the way of a corner spear attempt (he was up against a table) and rammed him into the table and almost through to the ringpost!
MAIN EVENT: Spurgeon MacEachern def. Raputo Kisimba, Jonny Armaghanyan, Viktors Rozentals, Egidijus Stravinskas, and Robert Mensik in a Hexagon elimination match to become the #1 contender for the Tier 3 EWA Championship at Mayhem! The big Scot's stock is rising exponentially, and the fans are loving every minute of it! To think that he pinned three former champs (Kisimba, Armaghanyan, and Mensik) en route - he looked absolutely phenomenal even after having been jumped earlier by Jamaal Andrews and "semi-retaliating" later. We also have to wonder if he's now in promotion talks!

Well that escalated quickly! Jamaal Andrews now has beef with Spurgeon MacEachern and with his entire former stable, plus he is so desparate for a belt that he will attack anyone who already has it! Tier 3 Thursday from San Juan, Puerto Rico doesn't have him in any title matches, either, so he may well take it upon himself to intervene! But he may want to refrain from doing so as he has a match against Zamir Bokoyev's tag team partner, Serik Ibrashev! Local boy JLD will be in action, with rumours flying that Tier 1 wrestler Cabal will also be there! Lady Kez will defend her belt against Amy McIver, while Denzel Bryant has a tough test against Mr. Wilson for his in the main event of the evening!

Plus we have some matches set for Mayhem in Trinidad and Tobago, with the full card being revealed Thursday after T3T:

Tier 3 EWA Championship/Americas Championship - Zamir Bokoyev (EWA) vs. Spurgeon MacEachern (Americas)(Belt vs. Belt)
Tier 3 Old World Championship - Raputo Kisimba vs. Big Xeno ©
Tier 3 Cruiserweight Championship - Rolando Ferrer vs. Egidijus Stravinskas ©
Tier 3 Hardcore Championship - Terje Grimseth vs. Michael Colding © in a TLC match
Tier 3 Women's Championship - Astra vs. Sonya Craig ©
Tier 3 Tag Team Championship - Hell For A Basement (JJ Bear and Braydon McMahon) vs. Air Morocco ©
Tier 3 Women's Tag Team Championship - Amy McIver and Kasia Mann vs. Tammy & Keisha ©
Tier 3 Intergender Tag Team Championship - Hansel & Gretel vs. Big Xeno and Kim Jae-Hwa ©

Rumour has it that Jamaal Andrews will be involved in a non-title match, as also will a (supposedly) returning Kristijan Bogišić.

RESULTS, EWA UPRISING, 15 NOVEMBER 2023, DALLAS, TEXAS

The Clan McIntyre comes out to "set the record straight." Matt says that while he can understand standing up for family, "sometimes you need to let family be punished for their misdeeds." A furious Georgios Pathakos comes out and calls the McIntyres "monsters" for thinking that evening the odds in an uneven beatdown constitutes a "misdeed," and in particular he rips Siobhann Carlyle - "if that bint hadn't gotten involved in the match, none of this would have happened. Then you had the audacity to attack me when I had done nothing to you! And obviously, you didn't think far enough ahead. You want a family feud?" Andros and Stassi Pathakos come out, followed by the three Pathakos girls and Marko and Slobo Gogić. "You got one!" And just like that, the McIntyres and the Pathakoses are looking ready for war!
Natane Huboka def. Kelly Vance by pinfall. The Ragin' Bajan didn't stand a chance against the Tongan Death Grip!
Alice Fleury def. Rhiannon by submission in her second win in a row against "That Old Welsh B*tch."
Alec McIntyre has a conversation with Ryan O'Martin about getting the Separatists' help against the Pathakos Family, but Ryan said "It's already out of control. If you think it's bad already, if we got involved, the First Family isn't the only stable you'd have to worry about." He signs himself with the Cross as he walks off.
Elijah def. Željko Miljanović by pinfall (non-title match). This was a good one!
As Alec discusses his lack of success with Matt, he mention what Ryan did as he was leaving. Matt facepalms. "Yeah, I think I see what he's saying. One of them in particular might get involved anyway."
Paolo Scibetta def. Juha Ukkonen by pinfall. The Wiseguys tried to get involve but Juha told them to "piss off."
Yukiko Kawachi © def. Queen Helen by submission to retain the EWA Women's TV Title, but when Gaill McIntyre, Siobhann Carlyle, and Sheena come out to try and beat up on the vanquished Queen, Yukiko castigates them for a "total lack of honour" before Danae and Marina arrive to chase them away, with the former giving Yukiko a quick slap on the back and a nod as a thank-you.
Kris Senior expresses his doubts that Kaélos will get involved on either side of the coming war between the Pathakos and McIntyre families.
Devin Elliss def. Franjo Antolašić by pinfall - big win for the Texan over the much larger Antolašić!
Tris Marks def. Stassi Pathakos by pinfall, but when Eric Carlyle comes out to try and sweet-talk Tris into letting him do a number of Stassi, Tris gives him the "two fingers" and tells him, "go !@#$ yourself, w!@#er," leading his former stablemate to attack him instead. Which proves to be a major mistake on his part - Tris boots him in the gut and hits the Stockport Stunner, then leans over and said, "You just made a !@#$ing massive mistake there, bruv!"
"Now it's time for our 'mid-show main event!" - Joey Styles
Alexi Kousouris def. Jure Žabranič (pc), Nikica Antolašić, and Asim Prodanović to win the EWA TV Title! (Four-man elimination match; ninth reign) The old guy still has it! After making Prodanović tap with a double-chokelift, he went into a good toe-to-toe matchup against the Slovene Spectre and came out victorious!
Tris Marks gathers the Hooligans and confronts the McIntyres. "You keep your pissing lackeys ou' o' my matches, Alec!"
Mattias Vlahos © def. Dion Prince by pinfall to retain the EWA Hardcore Championship. (Standard Hardcore match, narrow-rules FCA).
MAIN EVENT: The Álvarez Brothers def. Lords of Lancashire (pc) by pinfall to win the EWA Tag Team Championship! (First reign!) The Tag Team Division's most storied bridesmaids have, after 18 years, finally claimed their first Tag Team belts! As good a match as it was, Ronaldo's combination of size and lucha libre techniques was too much, even though the much slower Isidoro almost had to tap after about ten minutes.
A massive backstage brawl erupts between the Pathakoses and McIntyres during the end of the previous and ends up in the arena. Kaélos no-shows, as Kris Senior expects, meaning that the Clan McIntyre has a numerical advantage, but this is easily offset by the sheer strength and physical capabilities of Andros. But the McIntyres start introducing weapons and turning the tide... until the entire arena goes black. Kris Senior says it all: "You have got to be kidding me. No way is he getting involved in this." The lights come up, and sure enough, Dean Chapman! He all but knocks out Matt McIntyre for whacking Andros in the head with a steel chair and hits the Arctic Outflow on Kieran MacArtair. What a wild way to end Uprising!

So the McIntyres have turned heel, perhaps not in their own eyes, but the crowd, the Pathakos Family, and now even Dean Chapman are against them! Some but not all of these factions' members are expected to be in Shreveport, Louisiana for Roughhousin', plus Alexi Kousouris is set to defend his TV Title against Ahmad al-Quwari, and Yukiko Kawachi will face Gaill McIntyre for the Women's TV Title! The main event is Tris Marks vs. Eric Carlyle!

RESULTS, EWA BLITZ, 15 NOVEMBER 2023, KAUNAS, LITHUANIA

Air ADF (Indy Singh and Raj) def. South Pacific (Omo Tepoea and Timi Vinidi) by pinfall.
Xenia def. Teresa Santoso by pinfall.
Irina Valdez does an interview with Rebekah Kristianssen, where the latter asks her about rebuilding reputation after the revelations of the impropriety of almost her entire stable, and she says it will be hard, but that she will work for it and show that while she is a beauty queen, she's so much more, "unlike that Mexican ring rat who went home and is boo-hooing to her Twitch simps how mean everyone is to her while she recovers from her injury." But it doesn't take long for her to be accosted, by Ágata, who rips her for "bringing shame upon the name of the city of Barranquilla."
Adomas Kirvaitis and Raimondas Žutautas def. Straight Outta GQ by submission, but not without some indirect interference. Théo Beaujean had slid a kendo stick out from under the ring, but it was grabbed away by none other than Jimmy Mboya, who tore off into the locker room with it. This distracted Gamboa enough for Raimondas to hit a reverse DDT on him then lock in the Lockbox to make him tap.
Aurėlijus Maklėvičius def. Dario Krznar (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 2 TV Title! (3rd reign). Obviously the fans went bonkers for this one because the victor is from Kaunas!
Malaki Tulupu def. Saint Max by pinfall. This was a good one. Two similar-sized wrestlers with quite similar movesets!
The Edgecrushers have a discussion about whether or not their stable has run its course with the "deborgification" of Lord Dredd back into Kadreddin Nabiyev and the end of The Machine. They ultimately decide to stay together, but they also have a potential merger with Ex Machina on the table.
Carlota © def. Saimi Attinen by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 Women's TV Title. Carlota offered a handshake afterwards, which Saimi accepted.
The Ice Queens def. The Mourit Triplets by pinfall. Good solid match with a lot of twists and turns!
Général Bernard def. Zafir al-Qawad by pinfall.
Kadreddin Nabiyev is interviewed about his comeback from being Lord Dredd, and he says that while he never wants to go back to being "machinocentric" ever again, there are upsides to being a "digimortal." He also announces his intent to pursue the Tier 2 EWA Title!
Sookie Sam © def. Andreas Koellendamm by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 EWA Title. Squash.
Ágata def. Irina Valdez by pinfall.
Karti Paramita def. El Palestino by knockout; a rare cruiserweight-match knockout as Karti hit the Kerambit after El Palestino whiffed on a Hurricanrana attempt.
MAIN EVENT: Danute def. Delina (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 2 Women's Championship (fifth reign), with her brother Arvydas actually showing up to help out on commentary! But Danute made absolutely no mistakes whatsoever and was eventually able to land her Straight Jacket Fashion finisher for the 1-2-3! Also in from Tier 1 was Danute's RL husband, Wacław Iwański, and her other wrestler brother Aurėlijus, having himself just won the TV Title, came out to congratulate his older sister!

Onward to Vilnius for Throwdown on Friday! Aurėlijus Maklėvičius will defend his newly-earned gold against Afato Tulupu, Carlota faces Marissa Giove for the Women's TV Title, Kadreddin Nabiyev starts his journey towards Tier 2 EWA Championship gold with a match against Jimmy Umaga, and more!

RESULTS, EWA ROUGHHOUSIN', 16 NOVEMBER 2023, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA

Devin Elliss def. Marko Zarragoitía by pinfall. The tough Texan has a fanbase in Shreveport too, and they let him hear their approval.
Mattias Vlahos comes out, recaps the "idiots" who have been defeated because of his unorthodox methods (Tris Marks, Minas Tenkerian, Marko Myllyjärvi, and most recently Sebastian Brown) and spins the Idiot Wheel again, having added to it four new names to join Natane Huboka and Demitros Lavriakis - Devin Elliss ("not really an idiot but not as good as Nik so he's on here"), Ryan O'Martin ("enough of an idiot to not have any women in his stable so he wouldn't have to drag the McIntyres into a war with those idiot Hooligans, which in turn made them feel entitled to gang up on Kristi Pathakos for the "crime" of coming to her sister's aid even though they could just as easily have kept Siobhann Carlyle in the back!"), Alec McIntyre ("Major idiot for not thinking through that Big Deano might take offence to his tag team partner being whacked in the head multiple times with a steel chair"), and Vyacheslav Antropov ("whining crybaby idiot"). The arrow lands on Lavriakis. "Ah yes, old pal of mine! Still an idiot for thinking he has a chance against me, though! But y'all know how it is!"
Žydrunas Janvāris is approached by Dean Chapman, but the latter notices that Arvydas isn't there. "The bald guy still back home, Druno?" "Yeah, his kid brother and sister both won belts on Blitz. I'm guessing he's going to accompany them to Vilnius and then come back for next week's Excelsior if not for Maniacal. You still game for the tag match?" "As long as those cretinous McIntyres don't decide to show up." "Don't worry, if they do, they'll have all four of our teams to deal with." Indeed, the Team Lietuva Originals are teaming up with The Unstoppables to take on The Two Titans and Giammarco and Paolo Scibetta next week on Excelsior!
Giammarco Scibetta def. Kaspars Janvāris by pinfall.
Mattias Vlahos © def. Demitros Lavriakis by pinfall (Standard Hardcore match, narrow-rules FCA). It was obvious that Lavriakis was out of his element; he's only been in two Hardcore Championship bouts before and the last one was in 2013! But apparently he had said backstage at a house show that he could win the Hardcore Championship! I guess not! The big highlight was Death Incarnate dropping a back elbow on the Greco-Canadian through one of the announce tables!
Ahmad al-Quwari def. Alexi Kousouris (pc) by submission to win the EWA TV Title (fifth reign)! While he has been around since the beginning, the Persian Panther hasn't had a title shot since 2017 even in the mostly randomized TV Title division! But here, he made no mistake, having a clear speed advantage on Kousouris, felling the 7'3" Greek with shots to his vertical base and, instead of trying to hit the Star and Crescent, locked in an anaconda vise and put Kousouris to sleep.
Alec McIntyre was not happy about being called an idiot and confronted Mattias Vlahos about it, but Vlahos just said, "If the shoe fits, wear it, IDIOT. You realise Dean's gonna grind Matt to powder for that, right? And then he's gonna do the same to you for sanctioning the whole thing. Just be thankful I didn't roll you up tonight, or I'd've done it for him."
Yukiko Kawachi © def. Gaill McIntyre by submission to retain the EWA Women's TV Title; Sheena and Siobhann Carlyle tried to intervene but were prevented from doing so by Scary Sally and WildCat!
The Towers of Ararat def. The Wiseguys by pinfall.
MAIN EVENT: Tris Marks def. Eric Carlyle by pinfall (Standard Hardcore match, narrow-rules FCA, DQ for interference); this got ugly. While he did hit Trainspotting, it wasn't enough to keep Tris down for the three, and the brash Stopfordian would just get angrier as the match went on, dishing out some punishment with a steel chair and ramming the Fort William product into turnbuckles, ring steps, ringposts, and just about everything else before finally hitting three Stockport Stunners on him to put him down for the 3-count; he then started shooting his mouth off, which went on for a few minutes before the Clan McIntyre came to his rescue. Tris of course escaped, flipping the Scottish stable off as he made his exit through the crowd!

So that's that for Roughhousin'! On Saturday, Maniacal comes to you from Jackson, Mississippi! The big things to look forward to are the TV Title matches, with Ahmad al-Quwari set for his first title defence since 2015 against former EWA Champ Radek Toth, and Yukiko Kawachi looking to increase her win streak against Jane George! Plus, a couple of matches to "settle things" - a trios match between the Clan McIntyre (the Banshees plus Siobhann Carlyle) against Hooliganettes (WildCat and Scary Sally) and a partner of their choosing, and a five-on-five tag match, with the McIntyre Brothers, Eric Carlyle, and Kieran Macartair taking on Andros, Georgios, and Stasi Pathakos and Marko and Slobo Gogić, with Alec Dundas and Dean Chapman barred from ringside! (The latter won't even be there, to be honest!)

RESULTS, EWA TIER 3 THURSDAY, SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

A furious Jamaal Andrews storms out of Angel Lorenzo Batista's office after being denied a TV Title match at Mayhem.
JLD def. Rahman Taha by pinfall. The relative newcomer got a good-sized pop from his fellow Puerto Ricans and looks to have added a couple new moves to his repertoire!
Serik Ibrashev def. Jamaal Andrews by disqualification. The big Trinidadian was having none of being denied a title matchup and decided to take it out on the Kazakh, grabbing a steel chair and hitting him twice with it (the first shot got him disqualified) before Zamir Bokoyev came running out with a kendo stick in hand to bail his pal out, but what happened next really stunned everyone. As Andrews was leaving, a sadistic smirk on his face, he was knocked back from the entryway by being whacked over the head with a wooden barstool, and out came Captain Redbeard! "Ye want a hardcore match, matey? Well now ye has one!"
Angel Lorenzo Batista confronts Andrews, saying that his match against Redbeard at Mayhem will be his last match before Winter War, that he will be suspended until then for his actions. Andrews responds by slugging the Venezeulan upside the head.
Amy McIver def. Lady Kez (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 3 Women's TV Title, in a fairly close match.
Egidijus Stravinskas says in an interview that he wants "the mother of all cruiserweight matchups for the Tier 3 fans at home," and is convinced that Rolando Ferrer is a worthy enough opponent to bring this.
Rolando Ferrer def. Yordan Velichkov by pinfall. Way to prove Egidijus right, there, Rolo! This was a great match!
JLD is shoved aside by a stewing Jamaal Andrews, but as he is about to go postal on the local after he objects, he is superkicked by someone just off the screen, and the camera pans over... making the fans go crazy! It is none other than Tier 1 wrestler Cabal!
Gregor Dvořák def. Lukašs Berziņš by pinfall.
Desert Diamonds def. The Temurjyan Brothers by pinfall, as the two Botswanans continue to improve their skillset!
Bonez def. Barati Shah by pinfall.
MAIN EVENT: Mr. Wilson def. Denzel Bryant (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 3 TV Championship (2nd reign), but he had help, thanks to Jamaal Andrews' intervention in the match, which went unseen by the referee. A furious Bryant argued his case, but the referee wouldn't overturn the result, and Angel Lorenzo Batista was in the biobed room, so he couldn't have seen it. Andrews finally revealed himself when it was already too late. But what ensued was absolute bedlam as the male members of the Caribbean Connection poured out of the locker room. But Mr. Wilson decided to side with Andrews, turning himself heel in the process. With all the Caribbeans brushed aside by Andrews and Wilson, it was anyone's guess as to who was going to shut the Trinidadian down for good, until the Kipchak Connection and Cabal showed up! Ibrashev returned the favour from earlier by hitting Andrews over the head with a stop sign then putting him into the same with the Kipchak Crunch (not exactly the same as this - he doesn't hook the arms, just the legs) while Bokoyev hit a Gourdbuster on Mr. Wilson and pointed to the nearest turnbuckle, where Cabal climbed up and hit the Shooting Star Press.
After this was over, Angel Lorenzo Batista stumbled out to the arena to announce matches, and he said, for his "unprovoked assault on my person," he would make the match with Captain Redbeard be in a doorless oversized cell!

Final card for Mayhem, 19 November 2023, Chaguanas, Trinidad and Tobago

K-Tag (Kang Chong-Seo and Kim Seong-Kim) vs. Asylum (Tua and Patrick Taitano)
Desert Diamonds vs. Serbsational
Kristijan Bogišić vs. Viktors Rozentals
The Superheroines vs. Foluke and Jacqueline Sassou
The Boers (Rory Dean and Jackson Marais) vs. Zambabwe (Aaron Lunga and Axel Nkumbula)
Robert Mensik vs. Jonny Armaghanyan vs. Lech Osmulski to determine (at least co-)#1 contender for the Tier 3 EWA Championship at Winter War (Triple Threat, person not pinned will become #1 contender for the Old World Title)
Jamaal Andrews vs. Captain Redbeard (Oversized-cage Hardcore Match)
MAIN EVENT: Zamir Bokoyev vs. Spurgeon MacEachern in a Belt vs. Belt match for both the Tier 3 EWA Championship and Americas Championship

RESULTS, EWA THROWDOWN, 17 NOVEMBER 2023, VILNIUS, LITHUANIA

The triumphant Maklėvičius family shows up to a huge pop - sister Danute (the new Women's Champion) and youngest brother Aurėlijus (the new TV Title holder) are accompanied by Tier 1 legend Arvydas, NextGen wrestler Zigmantas, and older brothers Egidijus, Martynas, and Kasparas. They come out to chants of the country's endonym (Lietuva) and yellow, green, and red everywhere. Danute cuts a promo in Lithuanian first, then repeats in English, and her younger brother follows suit.
Raimondas Žutautas def. Saini Fanalua by pinfall. Kick it off with a homegrown Lithuanian getting a W!
Aaliyah, still upset with Jimmy Mboya's "baseless accusations" against her, challenges Jimmy to find "four guys" for a main event against the Arab League's male contingent, who "know the whole truth."
Irina Valdez has an interview with Marta Valenzuela about her recent drubbing at the hands of Ágata, and she says that she "supposes that she deserved it in one sense," but after taking such a lopsided beating she hopes she can move forward.
Peteli Vaifale def. Ganya Montshiwa by pinfall.
The Efendiyev Twins def. Team Palestine by pinfall. It's obvious that the loss of the Tag Team Titles didn't set Yashar and Elkhan back that much as they are back to their winning ways again! They looked quite good against the Palestinians - Yashar really surprised El Palestino by kangaroo-kicking him when he tried to land a senton splash on him, and a couple minutes later, almost knocked out Ali Ishaq with a superkick before DDTing El Palestino for the 1-2-3.
Adomas Kirvaitis def. Buccaneer Briggs by pinfall. Afterwards in an interview, Briggs had to explain what Captain Redbeard was doing in a Tier 3 PPV, but he said that the Cap'n had noticed Jamaal Andrews' erratic behaviour, and given how he was a promotion candidate, he wanted to make sure the Trinidadian didn't develop any bad habits. "Call it a bit of tough love! It's a pirate thing!"
The Abominations def. A Legion Of Spiders (r.b. Anansi and Supaida) by pinfall. Squash. Surprising one too, given how long Supaida has been in the EWA.
Aurėlijus Maklėvičius © def. Afato Tulupu by pinfall to retain the Tier 2 TV Title. This was a really good match, worthy of a main event. Tulupu himself was impressed enough to shake hands and raise the victor's hand afterwards, to the delight of the Vilnius crowd.
Kadreddin Nabiyev def. Jimmy Umaga by submission. In keeping with his Fear Factory-inspired new gimmick, the Digimortal surprised more than a few people by whipping out a new submission finisher, which he calls the Linchpin. Tungsten wanted to intervene but was stopped before he could even enter the main arena as Sookie Sam got right in his way; when he tried a different route, he ended up passing the Ex Machina locker room and being confronted by Fabrice Lacroix, who eventually kneed him in the gut and threw him into a propped-up stack of tables nearby!
When returning from the win to the Ex Machina locker room, Sookie Sam shakes Kadreddin's hand, and says he looks forward to their "inevitable" match against one another. Then the latter notices Tungsten in a heap just down the hallway, and Fabrice comes up and explains what happened.
Sookie Sam def. Paul Morgenstern by submission (non-title match).
Galin Liapchev def. Milo J by pinfall.
MAIN EVENT: Jimmy Mboya and The Anti-Corruption Army (r.b. Général Bernard, Lieutenant Zerbo, Major Mitch, and Robbie Irschick) def. The Arab League (Dom Adami, Nassim Toual, Team Palestine, and Zafir al-Qawad) by submission in a five-man tag match. It was apparent that El Palestino wasn't 100% (Ali Ishaq Abdul-Jabir was, having spent some time in a biobed between his last match and this one) but that wasn't the reason they lost - Jimmy himself scored the victory with Kenyatta Mondatta after Zafir al-Qawad was distracted by Robbie Irschick's baiting tactics long enough for the Kenyan Gentleman to execute a drop toe-hold and lock in the submission. Afterwards, Aaliyah came out and started a (worked) shoot on Mboya, saying how "the only relations [she's] had with anyone, inside or outside the Beautiful People's old quarters, was with [her] husband," who is the Mourit Triplets' eldest brother Tahar. "You may have won this match, but you would lose a lawsuit, so it's better just to man up and apologize for slandering my good name!"

Is Aaliyah telling the truth? Is Jimmy Mboya wrong or is he right? And if he is wrong, will there be repercussions from the ACA? What will happen to Aaliyah if she is found to be lying? On other fronts, will this mess between Kadreddin Nabiyev and Tungsten ever end? And what shenanigans will Jolly Roger get up to with their leader in Tier 3 until Monday, if any? Find out the answers to this and more on Up-And-Coming next Tuesday, coming to you from Daugavpils, Latvia! Aurėlijus Maklėvičius faces J-Shred for the Tier 2 TV Title, Carlota gets to face Kaori Niihara for the Women's TV Title, plus the New Livonian Order will also be in action in front of their home crowd!

Jarkko · 11-19-2023, 07:51 AM

RESULTS, EWA MANIACAL, 18 NOVEMBER 2023, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI

Alec Dundas is approached by Justinian MacGregor and Tier 2's Riley O'Bannon (his fellow Nova Scotian), who are both concerned about the direction the Clan McIntyre is heading.
Alice Fleury def. Mariah Gerhardt by pinfall. One of her best matches in years, and even Gail Kim, who had been critical of Alice all year long, even admitted thus. "Even compared to her match with Rhiannon five days ago, she is much improved. She wants to stick around."
Devin Elliss def. Jindřich Němeček by pinfall. Again, a big ol' pop for Devin!
Radek Toth def. Ahmad al-Quwari (pc) by pinfall to win the EWA TV Title (seventh reign)! Well, that reign didn't last very long! The Slovak Shooter had his best singles match in some time to defeat him, though!
Hooliganettes and Marina def. The Banshees and Siobhann Carlyle by submission (Trios match), and it wasn't even close. Expecting either Kristi Pathakos or Yukiko Kawachi, the three Scots were in absolute terror when the Hooliganettes introduced Marina into the mix, and most of the match saw the 6'7" twin sister of Andros Pathakos ragdolling all three! The double chokeslam on the diminutive Banshees got Joey's attention! And neither of them were even legal at the time, which led to Scary Sally blind-tagging herself in when Siobhann got Marina a little too close to the Portisheader with an Irish Whip attempt, which Marina reversed into a powerslam anyway, allowing Sally to lock in the Nightmare and get the quick tap. After the match, when the men of the Clan came out just inside the arena, Marina grabbed the mic and said, "What was it you said again, Alec? 'Sometimes you need to let family be punished for their misdeeds?' You started this by needlessly attacking Georgios. Don't you dare blame Kristi for this!"
Yukiko Kawachi © def. Jane George by submission to retain the EWA Women's TV Title. There is absolutely no question who the best technical wrestler is overall amongst the women, but that's not all the Metal Maiden brings to the table, and she pulled out all the stops for the W here.
A woman dressed to hide her face but with a noticeable Irish accent is seen talking to Ryan O'Martin about the match later on between the First Family and the McIntyres. "It should never have come to this," the Separatists leader said. "Alec should have left the Pathakoses alone. And now it's a whole different mess. Thanks for the update. Make sure you stay safe. I wouldn't want our newest Separatists to get hurt, now, would I?"
Marko Zarragoitía def. Brendan Ross by pinfall.
Alec McIntyre tells Alec Dundas before the match, "You know what to do." The Canadian says, "Oh I do. I definitely do."
MAIN EVENT: The First Family (r.b. Andros, Georgios, and Stassi Pathakos, and Marko and Slobo Gogić) def. Clan McIntyre (r.b. Alec, Matt, and Aonghas McIntyre, Eric Carlyle, and Kieran MacArtair) by pinfall. (Five-on-five tag match) Since this wasn't elimination, this ground on for a while, but then Alec Dundas came to the top of the ramp. When one of the referees tried to get him out, Alec correctly stated that he wasn't technically at ringside. With one referee distracted, everyone thought that someone was going to bail the McIntyres out, but then Kaélos Pathakos showed up and distracted the other referee, after which Tris Marks, Bruce Stuart, and Stephen Pathakos all got involved. Since it wasn't the legal man being attacked, there could be no DQ even as Tris Marks was going Stunner-crazy on the McIntyres! By the time the first ref clued in to what was going on, only Matt hadn't been attacked by outsiders and he was being destroyed in the ring by Andros as Georgios continued to shout taunts at him. Andros finally tagged Georgios, who dragged Matt over to tag in a dizzied Alec non-volitionally, and Georgios hit High Culture on him multiple times before finally pinning him.
A lot happened after the end of the match. Kaélos started laughing and pointed at Georgios. It seems he knew exactly what this meant, as the prodigal son had seemingly returned to the fold. Of course, neither he nor Stephen were expected to show up! But that paled in comparison to what happened on the McIntyre side of things, as the Separatists came out and cut a promo on the felled Scots. Ryan: "Deal's off, Alec! We've seen your despicable actions over the past few days, and while we have no love for Tris or the other Hooligans, at least they haven't been dragging innocent third parties into the mess! Alec Dundas has one of his hands in a pocket, and when Kieran MacArtair accosts him in annoyance and confusion over his actions distracting the ref, Alec pops him in the forehead with a brass knuckle. "What the hell?!" is Silas' response to this. As Alec McIntyre approaches Dundas angrily, his fellow Maritimers MacGregor and O'Bannon attack, leading to chaos on the ramp. Kaélos decides to throw his chip in the pile by blindsiding Eric Carlyle and hitting the Kika Cutter on him, while the eldest McIntyre gets a faceful of brass from Dundas and Ryan O'Martin tags Matt with a Tombstone Piledriver and Benny Thorvaldssen takes Aonghas McIntyre for a ride off the stage! The last shot of the night sees Alec Dundas raising Justinian's hand. He has now joined the Separatists!

Excelsior is going to be explosive on Monday! With Alec Dundas having joined the Separatists, you have to wonder if there might be some fence-mending between them and the Working Class Hooligans in spite of what Ryan said. And just who was that woman Ryan was talking to? Rumours are flying! We'll have no fewer than four championship matches - Mattias Vlahos plans to spin the Idiot Wheel again, Radek Toth will now face Oleg Kapetanov for the EWA TV Title, Yukiko Kawachi will have her hands full with Tiina Myllyjärvi, and Elijah plans to defend his Old World Title against Sebastian Brown! See you in Memphis, Tennessee!

RESULTS, EWA MAYHEM, 19 NOVEMBER 2023, CHAGUANAS, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Joey Styles got a hearty welcome as he was announced as the special guest co-lead commentator, having flown down from Mississippi to be in Trinidad for this. "I have to literally leave right away after this show to get to the airport in Port-Of-Spain so I can be in Memphis for Excelsior! But Kris Senior has let me have Roughhousin' and Maniacal off so I can work Advent, so it balances out!" He announces that Silas McMorrigan will take Roughhousin' and Tier 3's Eamon Kelly will be doing Maniacal.
Asylum (Tua and Patrick Taitano) def. K-Tag (Kang Chong-Seo and Kim Seong-Kim) by submission.
Serik Ibrashev def. Mr. Wilson (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 3 TV Title! (Fourth reign) The Kazakh became just the fifth wrestler in the history of Tier 3 to win the TV Title more than three times, joining record holder Dan Kassaye (six), Jonny Armaghanyan (five), Galin Liapchev, and Stacks (both also four). But more importantly, it put Serik one over on Mr. Wilson and his rather psychotic new BFF, Jamaal Andrews.
Desert Diamonds def. Serbsational by pinfall. Quite an upset here as the popular new(ish) Botswanan tag team continues to impress in Tag Team competition!
Amy McIver © def. Jeannie-Lee by pinfall to retain the Tier 3 Women's TV Title. You couldn't blink or you'd miss something in this battle of speedsters!
Kristijan Bogišić def. Viktors Rozentals by pinfall.
The Superheroines def. Foluke and Jacqueline Sassou by pinfall. This one was close, though! Still, Dyana Pathakos is continuing to impress in her early tag team matches - one has to wonder how long it'll be before they get a crack at gold!
Hänsel & Gretel def. Big Xeno and Kim Jae-Hwa (pc) to win the Tier 3 Intergender Tag Team Championship! The turning point was Hänsel hitting Burn The Witch on Big Xeno and tagging in Gretel to force Kim Jae-Hwa into the matchup. With Xeno out to lunch, Gretel could focus on attacking the Korean, and all it took was one whiffed clothesline for Gretel to set up for a neckbreaker only to reverse it to a falling reverse DDT - she calls this the Bait And Switch, and it got her the 1-2-3!
Tammy & Keisha © def. Amy McIver and Kasia Mann to retain the Tier 3 Women's Tag Team Championship. And it was a close one.
Zambabwe (Aaron Lunga and Axel Nkumbula) def. The Boers (Rory Dean and Jackson Marais) by pinfall in a close-fought matchup!
Hell For A Basement (JJ Bear and Braydon McMahon) def. Air Morocco (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 3 Tag Team Championship! After the string of close matches it was unfortunate to see this one turn into basically a squash, but the two big Albertans were just too much to handle for Air Morocco! The exclamation point was dropped when El Águila Marroquí tried to crossbody JJ Bear and the Fort McMurray native simply caught him and slammed him down with his one-handed spinebuster, the Bear Paw. 1-2-3.
Raputo Kisimba def. Big Xeno (pc) by pinfall to win the Tier 3 Old World Championship! With his third reign, Kisimba makes it a nine-way tie for the Tier 3 record! It was an impressive feat of strength for Kisimba to get Big Zeno up for the Roar of the Lion as he gives up almost 30 pounds to the Cypriot even though he's just an inch shorter!
Jonny Armaghanyan def. Robert Mensik and Lech Osmulski to become (at least co-)#1 contender for the Tier 3 EWA Championship at Winter War (Triple Threat); Mensik was unpinned and becomes #1 contender for Tier 3 Old World Championship at Winter War.
Astra def. Sonya Craig (pc) to win the Tier 3 Women's Championship (seventh reign)! Astra just would not give up in this fierce competition! She kicked out of not one, but two Prospector's Plunges from Craig and finally hit Stardust for the 1-2-3 after a 22-minute marathon! The two shook hands afterwards after a match well done, and the crowd showed the appropriate respects for an epic matchup!
Terje Grimseth def. Michael Colding (pc) by pinfall in a TLC match to win the Tier 3 Hardcore Championship! (Fourth reign) And another record is tied further as The Unblack Attack went through many horrors (and at least one table) but came out on top. Plenty of "OH MY GOD" moments in this one, including him hitting the Djent Cutter and putting Colding through a couple sets of set-up steel chairs (which won him the match) but before that was the flying elbow drop from the top of a ladder through a table! "I don't know what it is about black metal, or even unblack metal, that makes people so prone to do absolutely insane things! But Terje Grimseth, 6'5", 260 pounds, just did something absolutely bloody insane! " - Eamon Kelly.
Captain Redbeard def. Jamaal Andrews (Oversized-cage Hardcore Match) by pinfall. In a rare case of a hometown guy losing, Captain Redbeard appears to have fed Jamaal Andrews the slice of humble pie that he needed, as the Tier 3 upstart was behaving rather unreasonably since Slobberknocker and the big pirate was looking to put him in his place. Without question the moment of the match was when big Redbeard make Jamaal Walk The Plank through a table. 1-2-3.
Egidijus Stravinskas © def. Rolando Ferrer by pinfall to retain the Tier 3 Cruiserweight Championship. Maybe not quite as long as Strav would've wanted, but still one of the most acrobatic matches we've seen in Tier 3 all year! After the match, he shook hands with Rolando, then grabbed a mic and declared that he is going to make a bid for "the one title that has evaded" him - the Tier 3 EWA Championship!
MAIN EVENT: Spurgeon MacEachern def. Zamir Bokoyev by pinfall in a Belt vs. Belt match for both the Tier 3 EWA Championship and Americas Championship! (First EWA Championship reign). Eighteen minutes of back and forth action, which saw Spurge become the first contender to ever break out of the Kyrgyz Crossface without needing the ropes! Eventually, the opportunity presented itself and the big Scot ended the match with The Final Word for the 1-2-3!

So that's that for this season, and the final approach to Winter War in Helsinki begins! Here's the schedule:

21 November 2023: Slobberknocker, Les Abymes, Guadeloupe
