Andrew's Card:
► Show Spoiler
This is booked to be the first major show in my promotion, hence the debut of two new titles alongside the big deciding match in a number of early feuds.
Match #1 for the inaugural Lightweight Championship: - Oliver Carter vs Curtis Murray
On one hand you have Murray, the brash and arrogant youngster, and on the other you have Carter, criminally underrated and finally being given his big break. Both men are good high-flyers and would be suited a brisk, ten-minute opener to crown a new champion. Carter would be the one to triumph, with Murray reacting angrily and trying attack him post-match to set up a heated rematch down the line.
Match #2: Hardcore match - Martin Kirby vs Tucker
This would be the first big grudge match in the promotion. Kirby, who works equally well as a face and a heel, immediately made a name for himself by calling out Tucker. He criticised the Northern Irishman for not travelling and not being dedicated to the craft. Tucker took major objection to this and he and Kirby have engaged in a number of bloody brawls, with no definitive outcome. As such they come together here in a hardcore match, with the winner establishing themselves as one to watch. I’d have Kirby go over and target Oliver Carter and his new Lightweight title.
Match #3: Kay Lee Ray vs Rhea Ripley
With the first women’s champion in my promotion to be crowned later in the show, the two women not involved square off in another singles match, with the winner logically moving into title contention. At 21 Ripley is clearly a hot prospect and would work face, with KLR feeling aggrieved that once again she’s being overlooked for a younger talent. This would be one of the shorter matches on the show, with KLR showing a ruthless side that puts her in the frame for a shot against the winner of the women’s title match.
Match #4: Dan Magee vs Sean Kustom vs Pete Bouncer vs Wild Boar for a future title shot of the winner’s choosing
Four up-and-coming talents are next up in a match that would allow all men to showcase their talents to the audience and offering the winner a title shot of their choosing. That flexibility could lead to a variety of different outcomes and permutations coming out of this show. I’d book Boar to be the star of the match, showing real fire and landing his patented package piledriver on Dan Magee. At that point Kustom would thrust him from the ring and steal the win, earning himself a title shot and also starting a rivalry between him and the Welshman. As for Magee and Bouncer, they’d both get good showings but are not ready to be pushed commodities as yet.
Match #5 for the inaugural tag team championships: The Arrows of Hungary (Dover & Icarus) vs The Coffey Brothers
The two leading tag teams in my promotion, they’ve already had two matches and currently sit at 1-1. The rivalry had been entirely sporting until this show, with this match serving as the decider for the inaugural tag titles. There would be two booking directions - either belt up the Arrows and have the Coffey’s attack post-match to set-up a rematch for the next big show, or have the Coffeys show a more villainous side and get the big win, allowing them to move on to other teams. I’d go with the former, as it would time for other tag teams to form and a real division to come to fruition.
Match #6: Women’s Championship - Sammii Jayne (C) vs Charlie Morgan
This would be the first of three big matches to close the show and would be one of the most-heated. Jayne would be the first women’s champion and would look entirely dominant in doing so, beating Morgan handily in their first couple of encounters. Morgan is a crowd favourite though and had earned another opportunity by pinning Jayne in a tag team match. That’s very different to winning in singles though - could she finally get over the hump and dethrone Jayne, or would the champion’s reign continue?
I’d go with Jayne, much along the lines of the WALTER/David Starr feud. Morgan would get closer than ever to winning, but still falling a little short. That would then lead to Jayne against KLR for the belt, a match KLR would win. Following on from then there would be the possibility for a three-way and perhaps Morgan with the title then defending against the woman she’s never beaten.
Match #7: No #1 Contendership for the World Title - Trent Seven vs Mark Haskins
Both men are big names on the European scene and more than capable of being the star of a promotion, but both had already fallen to current champion Jordan Devlin. As such, this match represented another chance for both men to separate themselves from the pack and get another title opportunity. Seven would fulfill the role of loveable babyface, the crowd favourite, whilst Haskins would be a heel, focussing on his cerebral, submission-based offence. This would go long, allowing Seven to demonstrate more of the excellent selling and crowd reaction he did in the NXT Tag Title match, with Haskins eventually locking in a stretch muffler to the point the referee has to stop proceedings. That would allow Seven to look strong and not be pinned, but also for Haskins to look dominant and a real threat to the winner of the main event.
Note: These two have had four singles matches previously, with Seven winning all of them, so this would be an interesting and fresh option, perhaps showing Haskins had to delve ever deeper to get over the line.
Match #8: Ladder War for the World Heavyweight Title - Jordan Devlin (C) vs Marius Al-Ani
This would be Devlin’s fourth defence of his world title, but his first-ever meeting with the talented German, Marius Al-Ani. Al-Ani would carry over his recent heel turn from wXw, deciding that nice guys always finish last and that he needs to be a bit more conniving to win his first major world title.
Devlin and Tucker beat Al-Ani and Pete Bouncer prior to this show in tag team competition, allowing the champion to pick his stipulation for this contest. He opted for a ladder match, deeming that the nature of the stipulation would force Al-Ani to revert to his ways of old, someone Devlin knew he was considerably better than. That said, Al-Ani has a near perfect record in ladder matches over in Germany, so did the Irishman know what he was getting himself into?
This would go around 25 minutes, with both men taking big bumps and being cut open during the match. Devlin would eventually secure the win after landing a double stomp, an homage to Balor, from one ladder to a stricken Al-Ani on another, before scaling the ladder again to grab the title. Al-Ani would work the match mostly as a face, utilising all of his high-flying athleticism, but this defeat would cement his heel turn. He would eventually win the title, having incorporated a more powerful and ground-based offence into his arsenal.
Devlin meanwhile would await Sean Kustom’s title opportunity, as well as Haskins, someone he has considerable history with...

Mike's Card:
► Show Spoiler
My approach to the draft was to build a roster that I feel would be ready to put on a weekly-episodic wrestling show á la wXw Shotgun or WOS Wrestling so strong personalities and characters grounded in reality are a must. Treat the following card as if it’s the season finale before the break.
Match 1: Debbie Keitel vs. Katey Harvey
My original plan for the women’s division was to for a tag team pairing of Keitel/Harvey taking on Grey and someone else but as the draft goes on these plans change. Instead, we’ve got two of Ireland’s finest locking up in what will be a hot opener – with Katey getting the win to start her on the road to the title.
Match 2: Tag Titles: Josh Bodom & Emil Sitoci © vs. Darren Kearney & Kip Sabian
A pairing I wanted to have from the beginning was Bodom and Sitoci as a team of two jacked up asshole dudes who just spend their time pummelling geeks and flexing in the ring. They both share a style that uniquely combines guttural strikes with the occasional flashy move. The unfortunate opponents are the junior heavyweight pairing of Kearney and Kip who will be a popular face tag team on the show. Sitoci and Bodom will retain, but Sabian and Kearney will push them close.
Match 3: Kris Jokic vs. Senza Volto
A showcase match for two of the finest high flyers in Europe that you’ve probably not seen. Every time that these two have gotten together magic has happened – and this match will be no different.
Match 4: Julian Nero vs. TK Cooper
A little bit of a left-overs match in all honesty but by no means an afterthought. TK Cooper was a bit of an impulse pick during the draft but regardless he’s a trusted hand in the ring. Whilst I have both members of Monster Consulting on the roster – I think initially I’d rather have Nero in the lower midcard with his consultant gimmick. This match comes about after TK spurned Nero’s advances a few weeks prior. TK looks to have the Austrian all but beat before he’s blindsided by Nero Consulting’s newest client – the young and hungry Veit Muller.
Match 5: Grand Championship #1 Contender’s: John Klinger vs. El Phantasmo vs. Tarkan Aslan
Here we have something that will hopefully make people want to carry on watching the series after the first season ends. In the preceding weeks Klinger and El P will have both had a string of impressive victories separate to each other making them natural opponents for a high profile event and top contenders for the Grand Championship. Meanwhile, Tarkan Aslan would have been quietly racking up wins in opening bouts but not making too much of an impact in the grand scheme of things. However, earlier in the show – Aslan will politic himself into this match and get an opportunity of a lifetime.
Bones will spend most of the match trying to ground the high flying Phantasmo whilst also making a pseudo alliance with the sneaky Aslan. However, through sheer heart and determination – the immensely popular El Phantasmo would manage to eek the win out of nowhere with a flash pinfall on Aslan to get the #1 contendership to rapturous applause.
Match 6: No Disqualification: Avalanche vs. Ilja Dragunov
The culmination of a true blood feud, this will be a brutal match similar to their 2017 bouts in wXw – putting them both over as monsters and potential title contenders down the line. Dragunov wins after making a complete mess of the ringside area, leaving enough time for a sweet video package and stage setup for the next match.
Match 7: Women’s Title: Zoe Lucas vs. Melanie Gray ©
Probably the match where I’ve applied the whole Manichean “good vs. evil” ideology the most. The sweeter than sweet, pure Zoe Lucas battling against the physical manifestation of evil Melanie Gray. I’d want this match and the build to be like something out of a Disney movie with a really elaborate entrance for Gray (like at 16 Carat this year) that will put her over as the dark witch of the promotion. Melanie would get the win by crushing the dreams of the poor Lucas, taking her belt back to the locker room with a horrifying cackle.
MAIN EVENT: Grand Championship: Timothy Thatcher © vs. Zack Gibson
Thatcher comes into this match as the king of the territory with Gibson here out to snatch the throne. What will follow is a really hard fought technical bout as would be expected of the two men which will descend into a guttural brawl with eye gouges and chokes. Gibson will eventually get the better of the champion after a screwy finish where the referee is distracted and allowing him to hit Thatcher with a low blow into the Shankly Gates. Gibson parades around the ring like he’s won the world cup before El Phantasmo’s music hits – causing a staredown between the two men to close the show and the series.
Match 1: Debbie Keitel vs. Katey Harvey
My original plan for the women’s division was to for a tag team pairing of Keitel/Harvey taking on Grey and someone else but as the draft goes on these plans change. Instead, we’ve got two of Ireland’s finest locking up in what will be a hot opener – with Katey getting the win to start her on the road to the title.

Lee's card:
► Show Spoiler
Zack Sabre Jr vs Speedball Mike Bailey - ZSJ is the undisputed dickhead ace and champion of my brand and while Speedball is possibly a surprise main eventer I feel this has the potential to be a classic match.
David Starr vs Eddie Dennis - Arn mentioned it on the podcast, the promos alone between these two in the buildup to the match would make this worth seeing. Mix in some animosity and let the feud build to some crazy stip match crescendo down the line.
Jurn Simmons vs Jimmy Havoc - I don’t have any real reasoning behind this other than I think they could have a good match third from the top and if Havoc wants to get hardcore I think Jurn is man enough to match him in any situation.
Chris Ridgeway vs Sean “Maxer” Guinness - Riddy is the guy I want to build up to dethrone ZSJ eventually and become the next ace. Riddy could honestly match up against any of the top guys on my brand and have a great match and he would have to get past all of them before getting to ZSJ. Maxer doesn’t need to be the main man and keeping him competitive with the top guys while ultimately coming up short would be his role.
Jinny vs Valkyrie - Simple story of Jinny being the Jinny that we all love to hate and one of the best heels in Britwres and Val being the up and coming babyface that has to withstand all Jinny throws at her and gets knocked down again and again before finally toppling Jinny.
Team Whitewolf (A-Kid & Carlos Romo) vs More Than Hype (LJ Cleary & Nathan Martin) - They would begin as two white meat babyface teams putting on spectacular matches but down the line the Bleh boys would turn heel and embrace the roles in which I feel LJ & Nathan will shine the brightest.
Nina Samuels vs Raven Creed - Raven is one of the most hateable heels I have ever seen in OTT and she is still so young. Nina is one of the best female workers in Europe and the perfect woman to work with Raven and down the line Valkyrie to show everyone exactly what the two Irish women are capable of.
Charlie Sterling & Adam Maxted vs Kenny Williams & Jack Sexsmith - Kenny and Jack will be my fun loving lower card tag team that get up to mischief and piss off all the heels while probably not winning all that much. Sterling and Maxted are the prototypical pretty boy heels who can bump and sell for the faces when needed but also get serious and are capable of beating anyone on their day.
David Starr vs Eddie Dennis - Arn mentioned it on the podcast, the promos alone between these two in the buildup to the match would make this worth seeing. Mix in some animosity and let the feud build to some crazy stip match crescendo down the line.
Jurn Simmons vs Jimmy Havoc - I don’t have any real reasoning behind this other than I think they could have a good match third from the top and if Havoc wants to get hardcore I think Jurn is man enough to match him in any situation.

Arn's Card:
► Show Spoiler
Will Ospreay vs. PAC
Absolute Andy vs. Pete Dunne
Millie McKenzie vs. Wesna
Toni Storm vs. Jamie Hayter
Chris Brookes, Lucky Kid & Omari vs. JayFK & Julian Pace
Justin Sysum vs. BIG GRIZZLY
Gene Munny w/Young Money Chong vs. Travis Banks
This is the first year I’ve actually put together the card during the draft so I could plug holes. Usually I kick back and get my draft sorted and then end up throwing a bunch of weird guys together in a four-way or something.
Ospreay vs. PAC is a dream match that’s not been done anywhere so that headlines. Also Dunne vs. Andy is a fresh match. The whole top four guys plus Brookes and Lucky Kid have barely interacted in singles matches so there’s a lot of wiggle room there. PAC could basically run through a bunch of dream matches with Pete Dunne, Travis Banks, Chris Brookes, or even Sysum and Lucky Kid to begin with. Before being programmed in with someone long term.
With us drafting only four women’s wrestlers there’s less to play with there so I’m going with two defined feuds. Millie trying to overcome the beast that is Wesna and Storm having to deal with Jamie Hayter’s sneaky cheating and underhanded tactics.
The trios match here is for two reasons. One is to establish how friendly Brookes is with an assortment of babyfaces and two is to send Julian Pace over to the dark side. I can see Pace being capable of a radical heel switch and that’ll be one of my main storylines for this opening show. Sysum vs. BIG GRIZZLY is on here to introduce the crowd to Sysum, who I’ll be pushing as a superman babyface until the crowd tire of that.
Travis Banks is a guy I got very late in the draft and that’s slightly reflected by his card position. I want goofy fun Travis Banks, at least to start with, so I’m sticking him in with Gene Munny in a comedy opener. Chong is going to act as Munny’s sidekick. The only guy missing from this card is Dean Allmark as I didn’t have a spot for him but Allmark would figure into my mid/upper card rotation as time went on. He’s also a fresh match for a bunch of top line guys and is capable of delivering.

Oli's Card:
► Show Spoiler
WALTER vs Mark Davis
A follow-up to their excellent Atlas title match, now with main event time to play with.
Bobby Gunns vs Tyler Bate
The brash boys of Europe face-off in a charisma-fueled clash.
Killer Kelly vs Alpha Female
A wXw-flavoured affair, can the super rookie Kelly prove herself and take Jazzy down?
Kyle Fletcher vs Mark Andrews
