Martin Kirby Investigates Episode 2



The investigation will continue on June 12th at When Darkness Falls.

Martin Kirby Vs Cameron Kraze
On the 12th of June, Cameron Kraze has been signed to take on Martin Kirby in a rematch from 'Domination'. Their last encounter lead to Kraze picking up his first SSW victory using the Death Valley Driver on Kirby. Will Martin Kirby be able to focus on this match? As of late he has been distracted with the sabotaging of his music. This bout is bound to be another classic in the making.

SSW Vs DPW
Brett Valentine Vs Danny Hope
In a cross inter-promotional match up with Dynamic Pro Wrestling, Brett Valentine (representing SSW) is set to take on Danny Hope (representing DPW). Brett Valentine hasn’t had much luck in SSW of late, especially with Casey Hanson and Rainz targeting him out, but he has a chance to prove his talent as he takes on Danny Hope. Hope has made a name for himself in GPW, XWA, DPW, GNP and many other promotions. Danny Hope is a talented wrestler and can go with the best of them. This bout will be a really interesting matchup as SSW and DPW collide.

The Wrecking Crew (Sykes, Kennedy & Havok) Vs Brad Flash, Bubblegum & Sam Bailey
After making an impact at Domination back in March, Sykes and The Wrecking Crew, Sniper and Kennedy, are returning to SSW on a mission. The Wrecking Crew destroyed Brad Flash and Nathan Cruz in March and left them lying lifeless in the middle of the ring. Now they are looking to inflict more pain on all comers. Brad Flash has asked to face The Wrecking Crew in a rematch at When Darkness Falls and will be bringing the returning Sam Bailey and Bubblegum to aid him. So get ready for some intense 6 man action as The Wrecking Crew (Sykes, Havok and Kennedy) take on the team of Bubblegum, Brad Flash and Sam Bailey.

Domination Post Show Interview


Kris Travis speaks
Earlier today, SSW Management received a voice mail from Kris Travis. Kris will be choosing an opponent for himself and claims that someone on the announced roster has caught his eye, but wouldn’t reveal his choice until the event. Kris Travis has remained undefeated in SSW since the debut show on 2nd August 2008 and has a lot of momentum going in to When Darkness Falls, but who will he select to face on the 12th of June?

Sniper replacement
At 'All That Remains' last November, Sykes was injured after his partner Havok walked out after going through a table at the hands of Pain Inc.
Sykes and Havok have seemingly put this episode behind them and Sykes has once again allowed Havok to join him in the The Wrecking Crew along side the massive Kennedy. This team easily weigh over 1000lbs and its going to be a tough challenge for Bubblegum, Brad Flash & Sam Bailey to overcome.

This will be the final announcement for the show and we are keeping the lid on the 5 or 6 other participants till the night, We all like surprises don't we.

Show Results.
Martin Kirby came out to his theme which quickly changed to Shania Twain's 'Man, I feel like a woman' causing more frustration and embarrassment. Even more so when he again lost to Cameron Kraze.
After the match Kirby told the fans he hated them all and vowed to finally find out who'd been changing his music.
As he left a video recorded early in the day played of him quizzing Referee Michael (Milky) Bell on the matter, Milky didn't know but was enjoying his "Cam of energy drink"

Next up was Casey Hanson who took on SSW newcomer Robbie X.
Although Robbie was defeated he made a great impression on the fans. After Casey had left, The Wrecking Crew appeared and attacked Robbie until Bubblegum, Sam Bailey & Brad Flash ran out to save him. The Wrecking Crew casually left after telling Robbie's saviours the same thing awaited them later on.

A video played of Kirby backstage of Kirby confronting Rainz, once the giant Rainz stood up, Kirby decided that it would be healthier not to even bother the big man and made a quick exit.

Bubbles was out next and as her opponent was being announced, Kris Travis's music hit, he came out and told Bubbles her opponent was having "women's troubles" and that as he can face anyone he wanted, he chose her as his opponent.
Bubbles fought bravely against the despicable Travis but fell victim to the Deathstar Double Underhook Piledriver. As Travis celebrated and mocked Bubbles, Joey Hayes came out and challenged Travis to a more fair match, Travis declined and went to leave but attacked Joey from behind soon as his back was turned.
After a hard fought match Joey was triumphant in ending Kris Travis' long running undefeated streak.

Intermission

The Wrecking Crew faced the team of Brad Flash, Bubblegum, & Sam Bailey. The fan favourites had the crowd solidly behind them but were eventually beaten by the larger opponents.
After the match, Ruffneck appeared from the crowd and laid out Kennedy & Havok with the Steel chair that Pain Inc Fubar'd Sykes on back in November and said he was sick of Sykes' bullying ways and challenged The Wrecking Crew to face Pain Inc at the next show.

A video played of Kirby questioning El Ligero about his music, as he left Ligero stuck a note on Kirby's back as he left, it said 'Cam did it'

Next up was the inter-promotional match between SSW & DPW.
A very even match, the crowd was firmly behind SSW, chanting "Shooting Star" all the way through. From there things went terribly wrong as Casey Hanson who had been sat at the announce table joining commentary earlier in the night entered the ring behind the referee's back and laid Brett out with a baseball bat giving DPW the victory.
After Danny had left to no doubt inform his DPW employers of his win, Brett tried to attack Casey at the announce table but was held back by security and management. Ring Announcer Adam Curtis was instructed to go straight to the ring and announce that Brett Valentine will face Casey Hanson on August 15th in an 'I Quit' match. That'll teach Hanson to screw over SSW in such an important match.

Next a video played of Kirby finding Cameron Kraze sat in a locker room full of balloons and party poppers and such things. Freely admitting he was the culprit that changed Kirby's music for his own amusement, this took awhile to sink in for Kirby but when it did he went on a rage about Cam making him look like a girl with girly music and challenged Cam to a loser wears a dress match so he can show him which of them will look like a girl.

Next ring announcer Adam Curtis called Paul Malen out to the ring as requested by Dragon Aisu for reason's unknown.
Then Aisu's video played on the Titantron as it rose to the ceiling revealing a masked man dressed in black.
The man said he was the Emissary of Aisu because Aisu didn't think Malen was worthy of his own presence and he would finally be dealt with tonight anyway.
The Emissary of Aisu told Malen he had to face someone from his future, someone he had faced before and then out came Joseph Connors. Connors proved a tough opponent but Malen eventually overcame him but before he could catch a breath the Emissary of Aisu spoke again and told Malen he had to face someone from his past.
Malen then had the hard task of facing a man he knew very well, the respected veteran Keith Myatt. Once again Malen overcame his opponent.
The Emissary then told Malen he had to face a man from his present and then out came Stixx.
Stixx hit Malen with his chain causing a DQ, the Emissary then said it was a No DQ match and ordered the ref to restart the bout. Malen and Stixx just pounded each other all round the building, destroyed the announce table and fought back into the ring. The Emissary grabbed Stixx's chain and went to hit Malen but instead hit Stixx. Malen wrapped the chain round Stixx's neck and crossfaced him till he tapped out.
A victorious Malen hit a Uranage on the Emissary and told him to deliver a message back to Aisu. He'll face him in person in two months and it'll be 'Last Man Standing'
He then hit another Uranage on the Emissary to close out the show.

Enjoyed our 2nd ssw Show When Darkness Falls Good family value night.

Wrecking crew tag match was good and very impressed with Malens effort, although never enjoyed watching women wrestle
specially against Travis who was in a different luge to Bubbles.

Now that Wath is having 4 shows I do think it is hard for the local people to keep coming to these shows,maybe a small tour around
would be an idea our small town over towards Pontefract is starved of live shows such as this and I'm sure a one off show would pull some fans in.
