Tykade vs Alfred Valentine (Non-Title)

In order to prepare Tykade for his monumental match against Reuben De Jong at Nightmare, the CWO (Rehua) has organised with the IPW commissioner (Dion McCracken), a one on one match against the veteran of IPW wrestling Alfred Valentine at "Right to Rumble".

Rehua quote:
"I know Tykade has the power, but against Alfred Valentine, we'll see if he has the skill".

Dal Knox, Travis Banks & J.C Star vs Vinny Dunn, A-Class & Ninja Fury
(6 man Tag Match)

This is a much anticipated match up and to make sure it is a truly special event the CWO has called in a special guest referee to oversee the proceedings; none other than "The Silencer - Jean Miracle".

Rehua quote:
"Who else can bring that touch of class to a show but Silencer".

Announcement for right2rumble

IPW wrestler "Mischa Ivanoff" has asked the CWO of NZWPW (Rehua) if he could take part in the 15 man inter-promotional "Royal Rumble" in Levin on December 3rd.  The CWO has agreed to this but not without consequence to Mischa:
 
Rehua Quote:
 
"Mischa must prove his worth to me if he wants to be included in the Rumble, therefore, in order for him to be accepted  he must fight a WPW wrestler first... and just to make it interesting, he must issue an open challenge to any wrestler in the WPW roster. Once he has done that he is then allowed in the Rumble".

Official Statement from the CWO

The C.W.O (Rehua) wants to end the year with a bang so has decided to take the last WPW show back to his home town of Levin. The show is called "The Right 2 Rumble" and will feature some of the best wrestlers from both IPW and WPW and will culminate in an Inter-promotional Royal Rumble, the likes of which haven't been seen since the PWI Invitational. It will also potentially give participants from IPW's "Rival Turf" a chance to settle old scores. 
Not only will it be one of the best WPW shows of the year; but thanks to negotiations between IPW and WPW management, it will also be a preview of great things to come.
 
Quote: Rehua
 
I'm announcing two matches now; as I want to wet your appetite, and then I will announce more as it gets closer to the event"
 
First matches announced:
 
  • Link Van Haggard vs Mikey Rave vs Rocketman vs Johnny Idol
          (High Flying Fatal Fourway)
 
  • Misty vs J.P.E (Ladies Bragging Rights Match)

"Shining" Nick Silver and Sammy V Third blog from Canada

For those of you that follow my “Facebook” status updates religiously, you will have noticed that on consecutive days, I have thought that Calgary was having an “Indian Summer” and then the next day, snow. From one day to the next, it is impossible to guess how warm it will be, but apart from the snow day, it has been quite clement.

Four classmates and I stay at a house owned by Mr Storm. The house is a nice 2 storey place, fully furnished, close to shops and handy to the academy.

My house mates come from Scotland, England, America and Canada, and they are also training with Mr Storm. In the mornings, we all get up at 9 so we can watch Spongebob with our breakfast. Then it is off to the academy for training, and usually after that, I head to the gym for a workout.

We are a little over halfway through training at the academy, and I have decided that I will make my return to the southern shores after New Years to take advantage of the NZ version of summer to thaw me out from my time in the great frozen north.

After 6 weeks here I am really enjoying my training. I have become a lot stronger and have put to practice a lot of Lance Storm's training and advice. We have started to have matches and in my first fight I dominated some skinny kid from my class. I'm hoping to learn some more cool maneuvers and dominate a few more people in the coming weeks! I'm back in NZ on the 30th of November and can't wait to get home!

NZWPW Chairman's Challenge tonight

NZWPW Chairman's Challenge tonight

Written by David Dunn   

Chairman's Challenge

NZWPW Chairman Martin Stirling holds the second annual Chairman’s Challenge tonight at the Lower Hutt Town Hall, in an attempt to find out just who is the best wrestler in the country.

With matches not announced until bell time, wrestlers taking part in the 12-man challenge could end up facing any one of 11 other competitors, meaning they’ll have to be on their game and ready for anyone.

Interestingly, Martin Stirling has prevented several of the wrestlers who competed in last year’s Chairman’s Challenge from returning to the competition in 2010. An official statement issued by the chairman reads:

“Everyone is expecting to see the top wrestlers only in action, while my rookies would have to sit it out yet again, so I've decided that it's time to let the veterans sit this one out and give the rookies the chance to see if they can make the grade.”

NZWPW's CWO Rehua backs Martin Stirling's decision, but has announced that not all veteran competitors will be given the night off. All NZWPW title holders will be entered into the Chairman’s Challenge as well as the man who was voted as the best wrestler in last year's competition, Roger Ventura.

Wrestlers entered into the Chairman’s Challenge include

  • Axl
  • D-Hoya
  • Fredrick the Great
  • GI Jay
  • NZWPW Tag Team Champion JC Star
  • Kid Caprice
  • The Nerd
  • Roger Ventura
  • Rufguts
  • Thor
  • NZWPW Tag Team Champion Travis Banks
  • NZWPW Champion Tykade

With matches decided at random later tonight, who will square off with who? Could we see NZWPW Tag Team Champions JC Star and Travis Banks have to wrestle one another? Could Rufguts get a shot at the NZWPW Champion, Tykade? Might D-Hoya wrestle Roger Ventura in a New Zealand dream match?

NZWPW Chairman’s Challenge takes place tonight, October 15, at the Lower Hutt Town Hall on Laings Road, Lower Hutt.
Click here for a map. Doors open at 7pm with the first match starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are available on the door at a rate of $15 for adults at $10 for children.

 

Nick Silver and Sammy V second blog from Lance Storms Training Academy

We helped out at the Prairie Wrestling Association match last friday, whom Mr Storm books for. We helped put the ring up and take it down and got to watch the show. Met a few solid contacts, which is definitely an important part of the business. There is a good chance that some of the boys and girls at the academy could get a match later on in the session. Lance has been teaching us a little more each day and I definitely feel like I am better equipped to pull off anything I set my mind to. I am also attending gymnastics once a week, so may even have an aerial string to my bow when I return to the Southern Shores.
I would like to take this opportunity to shoutout to Mr Storm, my housemates Bevan, Matt, Elliot and Fanny Anderson, the boys back home in the NZWPW locker room, the other trainees at Storm Wrestling Academy, David Dunn, and all the fans back home.

So i've now completed four weeks in Lance Storm Wrestling Academy. I always thought I was a good fighter before, and coming off back-to-back wins in SCW my confidence was pretty high. So after learning some more technical defence and counters i'm even more confident in my wrestling ability.
People back home use the nickname 'The Human Forklift' to describe me, and I certainly lived up to that nickname when I bodyslammed a 300lbs man.
I'm thinking more now about the way I wrestle and am coming up with good strategy's and game plans and I can't wait to get back to New Zealand and show the fans what i've got!

So, I don't want to sound like a mark, but I have to admit, I changed my shirts three times to find one to make the best first impression, and that was just calling Lance on the phone to arrange to meet him. I was a little nervous, but Lance is a very approachable guy. Lance showed me round my residence. Lance did the "Landlord" thing and left me to it. We start on Tuesday, and after a month of no wrestling, I can't wait, so we had our first training with “Mr Storm”. If you read the not so fine print on the “Storm Wrestling Academy” website, it says, "PLEASE SHOW UP IN SHAPE." After a series of "warm up exercises”, our class had its first casualty as one brave young lad took himself to the limit, and had to excuse himself so that he didn't revisit breakfast in Lance's 2-inches-shy-of-a-regulation-WWE ring. He was also our second casualty, when he realized that he actually had more to give, and we were treated to the sound of him vomiting once again.

 

Sam Macmillan

On the 1st week we did conditioning: sprints, squats, sit ups, step ups and press ups etc. We also were learning basic holds such as arm ringers, arm bars, headlocks and various counters. The second week started out the same until he showed us how to body slam, clothesline, run the ropes, hit a turnbuckle and perform tackles and drop downs.
In conclusion, so far I have learned a lot of usable moves and various nifty counters.

Two wellington wrestlers to attend Lance Storms training academy

The C.W.O. (Rehua) has been in discussions with the SCW Commissioner (Big Al) and the "Southern Championship Wrestling Management", and can now confirm that SCWs very own Italian Stallion "Sammy V" has been accepted to attend the "Lance Storm Training Academy" in Canada and will be joining WPWs own "Shining Nick Silver" for the opportunity of a life time to train with the former WWE great!
Because of this great news NZWPW will have a fortnightly diary (commencing in September) on our website with updates and news of their time spent in Canada.  
/media/images/wrestlers/nick_.jpg
Shining Nick Silver is a veteran of New Zealand wrestling and was the first co-holder of the NZWPW Tag team titles with Silencer Jon Miracle back in 2007. He is a stunt man, is keen advocate for New Zealand Wrestling and has a desire to get NZ wrestling out to the mainstream audience.
 

/media/SammyV.jpg

Sammy V is only new to the wrestling scene, but has always had a love of it. He trained in rugby and boxing and came across SCW earlier in the year. Even though he has only had two matches, his time spent in Canada will no doubt give him the edge he wants to improve greatly in the sport and hopes to one day to make a living from it. His first goal he has upon his return is to win the SCW title.
