North American Championship Wrestling presents...

​

NACW Push It to The Limit
Met Center, Bloomington, Minnesota
We’re in a hot summer of neon and patriotism, culminating at the old Met Center.
Tonight you will see the hottest stars of North American Championship Wrestling as they do battle in their search for glory, power and fame.
Will these modern day gladiators reach their breaking point? Or will they Push It to the Limit?

Singles Match
Jamie Noble vs Marcel Barthel (w/ Alexandra York)

Spoiler

Alexandra York has been making power plays for weeks to try to take over control of the NACW. Recreating the York Foundation one superstar at a time, including her first addition, Marcel Barthel. Barthel is desperate to impress Ms. York with his sophistication and European grooming habits.

Spoiler

Barthel has targeted trailer park ruffian Jamie Noble as an easy win while representing his new manager. Noble has proven to be much craftier than Barthel initially expected, as he is quite the accomplished wrestler unbeknownst to Marcel. Noble had been showing up and thwarting Barthel’s attempts at wooing Alexandra York, such as getting into a hot tub with them at a hotel while on the road.
With the stage set, and Marcel Barthel’s dignity and worth on the line, can the York Foundation take care of business? Or will their stock plummet this early out of the gate?
Winner: Marcel Barthel with a distraction from Alexandra York as an assist.

NACW Women’s Championship
Singles Match
Bull Nakano vs Thunder Rosa (C)

Spoiler

Thunder Rosa has been dominating the world of women’s wrestling, especially right here in the NACW. Rosa has held the championship for just over 2 years straight with no end in sight. On one of her excursions on a tour of Japan, something happened to Rosa. Thunder Rosa returned a different woman. More reluctant to get into the ring or accept challenges.

Spoiler

On a recent episode of NACW Saturday Morning Jump! the NACW fans were shocked to become acquainted with the fearsome Bull Nakano in North America. Nakano, with her lawyer Clarence Mason, let the world know that she had Thunder Rosa beaten in Japan. Thunder Rosa barely made it out of the land of the rising sun in one piece. This has solved the mystery for everyone at NACW who has noticed Thunder Rosa not on her A-game since returning. Bull reveals that she visited Thunder Rosa’s relatives recently…at the graveyard! Bull Nakano has managed to draw the ire of Thunder Rosa by desecrating what she holds dear to her heart and part of her identity.
The bad news for Nakano is that her revelation has relit the fire in Thunder Rosa. A fire that has laid dormant for the better part of a calendar year as she steamrolled the competition, almost killing her passion for professional wrestling. For weeks NACW has been airing vignettes of Thunder Rosa getting back into fighting shape and sharpening her skills. Inspirational stuff. Rosa now sees Nakano as a chance to recapture her past killer instincts and overcome the biggest obstacle of them all, Bull Nakano!
Winner: Thunder Rosa rises to the occasion

Singles Match
Tiger Mask vs Chavo Guerrero (w/ Eddie Guerrero)

Spoiler

The Guerrero family has been riding high here in NACW. With Eddie and Chavo watching each other’s backs, there hasn’t been an opponent they can’t defeat. With Eddie Guerrero in possession of the NACW Heavyweight Championship, he has gotten greedy for anything he desires. This has led him to Tiger Mask. Eddie wants Tiger Mask’s…well, mask! And he has just the nephew for the job.

Spoiler

Chavo has always been like a brother to Eddie, and ever since he stood up to Eddie’s bullying of his own mother over Eddie’s jealousy of Ricky Steamboat, Chavito hasn’t been quite right. Eddie driving Chavo head first through his childhood home’s picture window in retaliation might have something to do with that.
Now, Chavo is always sporting his old “Eddie Guerrero is my favorite wrestler” t-shirt, and blindly following Eddie’s instructions at all times. Eddie has told Chavo that Tiger Mask is ripping off the Guerrero name. Eddie says that since he was Black Tiger, that the Guerrero name owns all use of tigers in wrestling. Chavo is quick to point out that Tiger Mask was first and was given a good whack in the head by Eddie to make Chavo forget that too.
Will Chavo be able to make Eddie and the Guerrero name proud? Or will Tiger Mask run circles around Los Guerreros?
Winner: Tiger Mask via DQ when Eddie gets involved. Eddie and Chavo leave Tiger Mask laying.

Singles match for control of the Bloomington Youth Center
Dolph Ziggler (w/ Fred) vs Kerry Von Erich (w/ Jonathan Taylor Thomas)

Spoiler

The Bloomington Youth Center is a favorite place for many kids in the area. A beloved institution of the community. Recently, the Boys Choir of Harlem arrive at the center for their usual practice, only to find the doors chained and padlocked. Muscle for hire Fred terrorized the boys until his employer Dolph Ziggler called the police for trespassing. The boys are lucky the Bloomington police were able to talk Ziggler out of pressing charges.

Spoiler

The boys wrote a letter to their good friend, Jonathan Taylor Thomas to tell him of their plight. JTT investigated by sneaking into the youth center through the ventilation system, where he discovered how Dolph and Fred could afford to buy such a building. Dolph has joined the York Foundation! JTT fell through the vents on top of Fred. Lucky for JTT, he was able to escape after a chase and improvising some booby traps.
At a live NACW show in Hollywood, Jonathan Taylor Thomas enlisted some help from his friend The Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich! Kerry is set to teach Dolph Ziggler, Fred and the rest of the York Foundation a lesson! He’s doing it for the kids!
Winner: Kerry Von Erich dispatched both Dolph and Fred with relative ease to save the youth center!

Six-Man Tag Team Match
“The Campaign”
Jesse Ventura, Bob Backlund & Shinsuke Nakamura (w/ Clarence Mason) vs
“The World’s Greatest Allies”
Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas & Sid Justice
Special Guest Enforcer Mike Modano

Spoiler

Jesse Ventura has been fighting against the NACW. Ever since Jesse was stripped of the US Championship due to trying to send in a surrogate to defend it for him. Jesse views this as a violation of his freedom and rights as a citizen and as an employee. Ventura tapped Backlund as his running mate in his bid for president of NACW, for a free and sovereign promotion, whatever that means.

Spoiler

All American athletes Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas have taken exception to Ventura and Backlund’s unpatriotic whining. Telling Ventura that if he doesn’t like it, he can pack up and go back to Mexico.
Ventura and Backlund tried to bring in a ringer in Sid Justice. Sid overheard his new bosses discuss the stupidity of Sid, and how he’s a practice run for the easily bent NACW roster that will have no choice but to fall in line. Sid has joined with the World’s Greatest Tag Team after powerbombing Backlund through a table!
Ventura then gassed up his jet-ski and brought a live pig with him on a journey to Japan to find a new third man for their team, making the trip in a little over 2 hours. When Jesse returned, he was with the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura. Jesse is using Nakamura as a display of his political leanings, touting Shinsuke as a true independent contractor.
The competitors are set for the challenge, but to make sure there is no dirty dealings, The World’s Greatest Tag Team have reached out to local hero Mike Modano to act as special guest enforcer. Will Benjamin, Haas & Sid be able to overcome The Campaign? Or will there be dark days ahead for NACW under a new regime?
Winners: The World’s Greatest Allies following Backlund being KO’d by a provoked Modano and his fist.

NACW United States Championship
Singles Match
Magnum TA (C) (w/ Lanny Poffo?) vs Dalton Castle

Spoiler

Magnum TA is aware of his charisma and macho nature. He is unaware of that charisma and macho nature’s power. Recently Magnum TA defeated Castle in the finals of the US Championship tournament following Jesse Ventura being stripped of the title. In the finals, Castle’s manager Lanny Poffo has become enamoured with Magnum TA. Poffo has been sending gifts to Magnum behind his client’s back. One of these gifts was a new Harley Davidson Motorcycle which Poffo called “Burly Boy”. As Poffo says of Magnum, “he’s the burliest boy of the bunch”.

Spoiler

Castle discovers this and is overcome with desperate jealousy. Castle begins dressing like Magnum, dyed his hair blonde and got a perm. Begins growing his chest hair out. Most pathetically, he made his Boys purchase him a motorcycle to try to complete his impression. When Castle sees The Boys could only afford a dirt bike, he became angry and relinquished The Boys of their duty.
On the other hand, Poffo has been having a great time with Magnum, hoping to make him his new client. People warn Magnum about being close with Poffo, but he scoffs “I’m just having a few brews with my buddy Lanny, that’s all.” Poffo begins asking Magnum to show him handy work, like how to unclog his engine. Magnum is more than happy to oblige, but he doesn’t want Poffo in his corner for his rematch against Castle. He knows Poffo is Dalton’s manager and knows that he’s been struggling lately
and could use Lanny’s friendship.
Will Poffo intervene for Magnum’s sake? Or will he go back to Dalton Castle like a dejected lover? Or will Dalton Castle succeed in giving his manager the greatest gift of all, the NACW United States Championship!?
Winner: Magnum TA, who leaves confused when The Boys return to help Castle up. Poffo then comes out but blows by Magnum with a hair flip. Lanny, Dalon and The Boys all celebrate with a group hug with Magnum looking on, confused.

NACW World Tag Team Championships
Tag Team Match
KENTA & Ultimo Dragon vs
The Heavenly Bodies (C) (w/ Jim Cornette)

Spoiler

The Heavenly Bodies and Jim Cornette have been a grating and irritating nuisance for the NACW fans. From Jimmy Del Rey’s gyrating to Jim Cornette’s motor mouth, the NACW fans are subjecting to brow beating and disgusting sights week in and week out, with Tom Prichard just being…there. Jim Cornette has recently taken aim at foreign, cruiserweight wrestlers being a plague on modern day wrestling. He is sick and tired of seeing masks and flips getting all the praise while the TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS are a foot note.

Spoiler

Recently after defeating The World’s Greatest Tag Team last month at NACW Danger Zone, the Heavenly Bodies issued an open challenge to any wrestlers who aren’t North American, weighing less than 250lbs each, for a shot at the belts.
During Jim Cornette Appreciation Day on an episode of Saturday Morning Jump! planned by the Bodies, their challenge was answered. Right when Cornette was ready to cut the cake the lights went out. The lights come up to the sight of Ultimo Dragon in the ring behind the 3 men, who delivers a dropkick to Cornette’s back sending him face first into his own cake. Before the Bodies could retaliate KENTA ran to the ring to reveal himself as Ultimo’s tag partner.
Have Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies bit off more than they can chew? Or will KENTA and Ultimo Dragon’s North American careers be over before they even begin?
Winner: KENTA & Ultimo Dragon make short work of Cornette and his boys.

Singles Match
“Ravishing” Rick Rude vs Samoa Joe

Spoiler

It is no surprise that Rick Rude thinks highly of himself. Rude has been defeating many men on weekly TV in short order for months. Recently after one of his dominant victories he spotted wrestling free agent Samoa Joe in the front row. Rude decided to try to make a mockery of Joe, only to quickly find out that the Samoan Suplex Machine is no man to take lightly. After some insults Rude turned to the crowd to seek approval and perform his signature pose. Samoa Joe took this opportunity to lock Rude into the Coquina Clutch, embarrassing The Ravishing One.

Spoiler

Shortly after this incident Samoa Joe signed a new lucrative contract to join NACW on one condition; he gets to face Rick Rude in his first match! This does not sit well with Rude, who does some investigating into the life of the new mysterious roster member of NACW. Rude discovers Joe is not from the Isle of Samoa at all. “Samoa” Joe is from Orange County California. Rick Rude then begins to only refer to Joe as “Granola Joel”. Joe cannot wait to get his hands on Rude, saying he won’t stoop to Rude’s level and all he's doing is digging a deeper grave.
In one last attempt to get under Joe’s skin, Rick Rude visits the housing project where Joe is from. He identifies the broken candy vending machine nearby as Joe’s family’s favorite grocery stop. Finds old photos of Joe as a kid to mock. He then comes up with one last name for Joe, “Average Joe”. Samoa Joe is ready to explode and can’t wait to get his hands on Rick Rude.
Will Samoa Joe finally shut The Ravishing One up? Or is he truly just “Average Joe”?
Winner: Samoa Joe wins in his debut match after choking Rick Rude out, who asserts he did not give up and is the rightful victor.

NACW World Heavyweight Championship
Best 2/3 Falls Match
Eddie Guerrero (C) vs Ricky Steamboat

Spoiler

Eddie Guerrero has been on top of the world of professional wrestling ever since winning the NACW World Heavyweight Championship months back. So why is Eddie so lonely? Eddie has been growing increasingly paranoid in the months since the title win and has begun to isolate himself from the rest of the NACW roster. Recently Eddie was the headliner for an NACW Fan Expo weekend and blew his top and left when he saw the lines to meet Ricky Steamboat were almost double the length of the line of people there to meet him. NACW owner HH had to put out fires when Eddie left the event abruptly, leaving HH no choice but to fine and suspend Eddie Guerrero as punishment.

Spoiler

During his suspension Eddie went home to visit his mother, Herlinda Guerrero in her home in El Paso. Eddie was immediately elated to see his mom cooking a feast of enchiladas and tres leches, Eddie’s favorite. When he went to help himself Herlinda smacked his hand away because it’s a gift for Ricky and Bonnie. This threw Eddie into a jealous rage, throwing the food around the house and in the garbage while yelling in his own mother’s face! Chavo tried to intervene only to find himself head first through the picture window.
Ricky tried to reach out to the mad Guerrero but to no avail. Eddie’s mind has been completely taken over by jealousy, rage and paranoia. That is until Chavo reached out to Ricky begging for help with his uncle. When Ricky arrived at Chavo’s meeting spot he learned it was a trap to get him out of his house. Ricky frantically gets home only to find out his wife Bonnie and his son Richie were treated to a very hostile Mexican dinner prepared for them by Eddie himself in their own kitchen.
Eddie has crossed the line. Steamboat has issued the challenge. A classic 2/3 falls match for the NACW World Heavyweight Championship. However, if Ricky loses, Eddie has written in a clause that Ricky will have to be Eddie’s assistant for the duration of his NACW contract. With the stakes so high and family pride on the line, who will reign victorious as NACW Heavyweight Champion after they PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!?
Winner: Ricky Steamboat defeats Eddie 2 falls to 1 in an instant classic.

f***ing @HandsomeHollywood .

 

[JackSlater]

A lot of these things come down to preferences but this is a pretty easy vote for me. Just dropping some names into matches doesn't really work for me unless the names or matchups blow me away and that isn't happening. I like the roster and some matchups in HandsomeHollywood's card but wrestling is about entertainment and the entertainment value here easily wins me over. Nice fully realized card with thought out and expanded upon matchups that draw my interest. Better flow and card structure as well. I do expect that the vote will end up being fairly close in either direction but who knows.

 

[les Habs]

Tough call here. In terms of the number of matches I'd want to see it's pretty even. @HandsomeHollywood might edge it out just slightly in that regard, but some of the booking and more so storytelling doesn't do much for me. I much prefer his card from last year. @ColePens could use some storytelling on the other hand (as I think I said, I think HHH-Lee could be quite interesting and the belt is the appropriate one for that story), but that said some of the matches clearly don't need it. It's also actually interesting/impressive he was able to get some of the names on his card that he did. Again, tough call here but I went @HandsomeHollywood by a nose.

 

[ColePens]

Heavy beatdown @HandsomeHollywood Well deserved. Hell of a card.

 

[ColePens]

Some of my alternative universe matches were going to be:

Austin vs. Suzuki

Riddle vs. Cena

Lee vs. HHH

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Some of my alternative universe matches were going to be:

Austin vs. Suzuki

Riddle vs. Cena

Lee vs. HHH

Austin vs Suzuki would be great. I'd love the build for that feud.

I honestly thought both round 3 matches would be way closer than they are.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Austin vs Cena is far more epic than Dragon vs Eddie, but Eddie and Dragon guarantee a perfect display of wrestling.

Sayama vs Chavo and Balor vs Scurll is wash to me.

HHH vs Keith Lee or Rude vs (Prime)SamoaJoe? Damn.

Love the Nakano vs Thunder Rosa, I'm a Bull Nakano guy, she was in the ring what i think Nia Jax should be, I like the Riddle Severn Suzuki match just as much.

I like the Fenix Ric Rush match and Magnum TA vs Castle match about the same...

even match, CP deserves more love here.

 

[ColePens]

I will be honest.. Austin/Cena may be the greatest match in all of this tourney next to @GKJ and his Omega/Rock. Like if you really think about it, these 2 matches would probably be the biggest match in history. Soooooo good. Austin/Cena is something I dream about because Austin is the face we want. Cena is the face we do not want. Both are seriously all time greats.

In 10 more years... Cena will get the respect he deserved. Blame WWE for how they booked him. CENA... is an all time great. Incredible storyteller.

I never wanted to beat @ColePens. I wanted to play with him. See ColePens is just a fly. You tear one wing off and watch him flop around. Tear the other wing off and watch him suffer. Then BAM. You squash him.
You may have stolen @CHGoalie27 from me and you may have had @KIRK return but neither was good enough. @CHGoalie27 especially is a little rat so I guess that makes him your new pet. Word to the wise, don't leave him at home alone because you can't trust him, given the way I always catch him throwing himself at the other boys in their PMs.
ColePens, I hope you consider round 3 a very Rude Awakening for you.

As for @JackSlater and @les Habs, whichever my opponent is, I'd think twice if I were either of you about getting into the ring with HandsomeHollywood. You know what they say, a good man is hard to find and a hard man is good to find. HandsomeHollywood is a good, hard man and neither of you inner-city sweat hogs have a chance in hell against him. HandsomeHollywood is the financial future of the HF Wrestling Draft, whether you like it or not. Now shut your mouth and open your eyes and look at what a real all-time wrestling draft card looks like.
