This week in RWA, the current GM Jim Cornette announced that due to the new influx of talent into RWA and the many different contenders, Cornette created tournaments for the different titles. The finalists of the tournaments will face one another at the next PPV, and the winners will challenge the champions the following week on RWA Shellshock. The tournaments are the RWA World Heavyweight Championship Tourney, the RWA TV Title Tourney, and the RWA Hardcore Championship King of the Deathmatch. The Women’s Championship holder Hayley Stone will have her opponent decided by a 6 woman elimination matcg with the 3 remaining women fighting against one another for the final match to decide Stone’s opponent.

The only titles left are the RWA Tag Team Titles, held by The Smokin’ Samoans. They were not chosen to be up for grabs after a tournament, but that doesn’t mean that they are out of the woods for long. After their win against the Star Destroyers to retain the titles, they must look on to the future. Along with the influx of singles competition to RWA, there is also more tag teams invading the tag team division. Besides the already big tag teams of The Avenged and T&C, joining the tag roster are teams such as Superheros X, America’s Greatest Tag Team/Faction, X-Rated and more. How will the current champions do against these new teams? Or can they still hold their heads high with titles in hand triumphant over them? Only time will tell…

This Week on RWA Shellshock, Jim Cornette set up a match of epic proportions. It was a Champion vs. Champion match, throwing “The Talented One” Cartwright, the TV Champion vs. K Fresh, the Hardcore Champion against one another. It was a great match, having K Fresh declared the winner by pinfall. However, in the match the former Hardcore Champion “Mad Dog” McLendon interfered, distracting the referee allowing K Fresh to land a chair shot to Cartwright. Even though he came to held K Fresh however, as Fresh was pinning Cartwright, Mad Dog taunted him in a way signaling that he would get the Hardcore Championship back. What does this mean for the current Hardcore Champion? Maybe K Fresh should be a little bit more careful…

Also announced during RWA Shellshock was the take over of EEW Speed. Along with this during “The Freakshow” RWA took EEW Chairman Paul Heyman captive. It seems that RWA is almost in full control…

In other news, here are the results from the matches from this week on RWA Shellshock.

Just lately, the PPV Addictions aired to RWA fans worldwide, and were they in for a treat. At addictions, the three tournaments held their finals, titles were put on the line, and many people basked in glory, while others suffered defeat and shame at RWA Addictions.

As the week progressed, the RWA fans in anticipation for Addictions to air, the RWA Shellshock GM Jim Cornette posted a video at rwa.com stating the company was going public and that stocks for the company were now for sale. They sold like hotcakes, and at Addictions, Cornette asked for the stockholders to reveal themselves on the air. In answer, only one man answered his reply, and that was John Zandig. Thinking it was a hoax, Cornette demanded Zandig leave, but to his dismay, Zandig was the only Stockholder of RWA. Cornette’s expression dropped as Zandig explained that when he heard of the stocks, he bought all that he could, selling his promotion, even buying the stocks from the other investors. After he was through, he had accumulated a rough estimate of 50% of RWA. With his half of the company, Zandig declared that he would create a hardcore show, and that there would be a draft to decide who would end up where. As he was announcing this, VHS (K Fresh’s personal announcer) announced that K Fresh would come. Sure enough, K Fresh came, and demanded to know what would Zandig do to have the Hardcore Champ on his show. Zandig replied saying that the RWA Hardcore belt would become the RWA Hardcore Heavyweight Championship, and that any of K Fresh’s needs would be fulfilled… to a certain extent. With the negotiations settled and the stockholder shown, the draft was decided. It would take place after Addictions, and here are the results.

To see how the new shows now function, tune in to both this upcoming week.


The most prized championship in RWA, and possibly all of Sports Entertainment was put on the line, the champion CwP against Bryan Bain. The match took up more than a wopping 50 minutes, the competitors fighting back and forth, until one prevailed. That one… was Bryan Bain. He pulled in the win with an inverted full-nelson followed up by smashing CwP’s face into the mat, followed up by the three count. This match named Bryan Bain the new RWA World Heavyweight champion, and the Bain Championship Era has begun.

K Fresh is sometimes referred to as the 50 time Texas World Heavyweight Champion, The Notorious K-I-D, a pompous a**, b*****d, and plenty of other names. However, most of all he is the RWA Hardcore Champion. At Addictions in his Triple Threat Hardcore Match against “Mad Dog” McLendon, and Harli, the Notorious K-I-D retained his Championship, proving that he is truly a fighting champion. The match was a very heated one, with all three opponents using different weapons, help from interference, cheap low blows and wrestling skill, but after a stunning Superkick from K Fresh to Mad Dog, it was inevitable that K Fresh would get the one…two… three.

The RWA TV Championship was not up for grabs at Addiction, but something about it was still inevitable to happen. The current TV Champion “The Talented One” Cartwright called out Harli, saying that it was inappropriate of him to have interrupted Cartwright the week before. After the Triple Threat Hardcore match for the RWA Hardcore Title, a slightly exhausted Harli answered Cartwright’s challenge. After a brief struggle, Cartwright nailed Harli with the TV Championship Belt, and started to leave the arena with a smirk on his face. When Harli awoke, he challenged Cartwright to a Street Fight for the RWA TV championship, which Cartwright accepted. What will management say about this challenge, and will the fans get to see it, or have to see some other for of fight for the belt? Tune in next week on Shellshock to find out.

The Smokin’ Samoans, since their debute in RWA have been the tag team champions and every time they put up their title, they retain. This last title defense however… was different. They went up against X-Rated members K Fresh and Inferno, and after a short fight, suddenly Samoan Dan betrayed Figmaga, and hit him with a Samoan Drop! Quick to take advantage, Inferno made the pin on Figmaga, and gained the three count. The RWA Tag Titles, after being held for so long by the Smokin’ Samoans, changed hands to X-Rated because of the betrayal of Figmaga, by Samoan Dan.

Although this title isn’t as big as the RWA World Heavyweight Title, the RWA Women’s Championship is still coveted by many, and held by few. During Addictions, Hayley Stone was to defend her Women’s Championship against the French Diva, Mystique. After a few hits from each woman, Hayley almost hit the Diva Dust Drop, but was thwarted by Mystique. Not giving up though, Hayley was able to keep the position on Mystique and was finally able to hit the Diva Dust Drop onto Mystique, allowing Hayley to gain the win via pin and to retain her title.

After Holy Wars, Jim Cornette announced that there would be tournaments to decide who the #1 contenders would be for different titles, the finals being held at Addictions. The three tournaments were for the RWA World Heavyweight Championship, The RWA TV Title, and the RWA Hardcore Title. The finalists are as listed below, with their match type and description.


The match started out with Otaking taking a quick pummeling, until he made a comeback by knocking a ladder into Shadow’s face. They continued the fight outside the ring, until Otaking got back into the ring trying to set the ladder up. Shadow stopped him though, and then after throwing Otaking out of the ring, started to climb the ladder. Otaking rushed back into the ring, where a battle right under the contract and many feet above the ring ensued. They exchanged punches, until Shadow tried a eye rake, and then a kick that sent both of the fighters to the mat. Shadow and Otaking continued the fight on the mat, until finally Shadow ends up outside, where Otaking hits him with a Kamikaze Splash, followed by him climbing the ladder and grabbing the contract.



Marxx’s match was not as eventful as Otaking and Shadows. He made his entrance, and after awhile he was given the win via no show! Not truly winning the way he was supposed to, is Marxx truly ready to face Cartwright, or is he just getting by on “dumb luck”?


Mavlik’s fight almost ended up the same as Marxx’s, if it wasn’t for a challenger that no one had expected. As Mavlik left the arena, he was suddenly attacked by Necro Butcher, who received a great pop from the crowd. He forced Mavlik back a bit, until eventually Necro and Mavlik started to exchange one of Necro’s little tricks, the Necro punches. This forced Mavlik back after an exchange of about 4 or 5 punches, which gave Necro the time to get a couple of chairs. Mavlik was smashed against one, but afterwards Mavlik launched an attempted comeback. Mavlik hit a low blow to Necro using a pair of brass knuckles, and then wanting to get back at Necro, he hit him with a Concerto, but Mavlik wasn’t done. He then set Necro against a light tube wrapped table, and was able to DDT Necro through the table, light tubes and all. Finally, they made their way into the ring, where they did another one of Necro’s old maneuvers for the crowd, where they sat in chairs and hit each other back and forth. Necro won, knocking Mavlik out of the chair. Frustrated, Mavlik slammed his chair against Necro’s skull, followed up by a running knee to Necro’s face. As the timer on the explosion ticked, Mavlik irish whipped Necro to the barbwire, only to have it snap, and get Necro tangled up in it. At that time the explosion went off, brutally burning and scorching the two worn superstars. After putting himself out, Mavlik wearily climbed the turnbuckle and landed a Hell Bomber on Necro, and scored the pin to name him the #1 contender.

After X-Rated defeated the Smokin’ Samoans, Samoan Dan decided to make a challenge. He offered to fight anyone for not one, not two, but three titles, the RWA Tag Belt, the EEW Tag Belt, and the RWF Smackdown belt. He was greeted by challengers Matt Shannahan, and the entirity of AGF. However, Matt was told no, and AGF was disqualified by the Special Ref Inferno for the usage of what was thought to be a Kitchen Sink. Mavlik denied these accusations, but the match was over and Samoan Dan had defeated 4 challengers.

Although these were some great highlights of Addictions, they weren’t all. Below are the other matches and their results.

Mitsuki defeated Codi Paige via Count Out

Xw beat Jed by pinfall

Freakshow won his match against Phyco by no show, causing Phyco to have her contract terminated and fired

“The Franchise Killer” Seth Jeremies defeated Matt Shannahan via pinfall

Joker and Jinx both defeated Travis in a strange Triple Threat match via pinfall

Nightmare gave Swatbad nightmares by defeating him by pinfall
