The opening video for NWA-UK Hammerlock Collision Course played, which featured clips of the Hammerlock product interspersed with highlights from the Jason Prentice-Ben Winter feud. The MEN Arena was jam-packed with screaming fans, ready for a night of white-hot unpredictable Hammerlock action. Chris Freeman and Adam Wheeler welcomed viewers to the show and hyped up the card but they were rudely interrupted by the music of The Aristocrats. Cuthbert D. Fharquar, Lord J.T. Potemkin III and their loyal butler Jeeves, accompanied as ever by the rat-like Major James Hewitt, made their entrance for the opening six man tag team contest against the trio of Matt Sizemore, Junior Jones and The Punisher.

This match-up all stemmed from an eight man tag team elimination match on our last live show when Cuthbert Fharquar made good use of Major Hewitt's cane to oust Junior Jones from the contest. However, Matt Sizemore and The Punisher wound up being the sole survivors and won the match for their team. They were victorious after Fharquar was DQed after he used the cane again on Sizemore and that time the official caught him in the act. After the bout, Fharquar and Jeeves did a number on Sizemore and The Punisher, who were lucky to escape with only minor injuries.

Match highlights:
Lord Potemkin hit the first impactful move of the match as he hurt Matt Sizemore with a double underhook backbreaker. Sizemore recorded a near fall on Cuthbert Fharquar with a Blue Thunder Bomb and then took him down with a flying dropkick. Junior Jones overwhelmed Potemkin with chops and a dropkick. Sizemore hit Potemkin with a double underhook piledriver, but Potemkin fired back with a Northern Lights suplex. Jeeves used a flying elbowdrop on Sizemore for two and powerslammed him for another near fall. The match broke down into a knock-down drag-out brawl, with The Aristocrats pairing off with Junior Jones and The Punisher for a fight at ringside. Back in the ring, Jeeves back suplexed Sizemore and then the burly butler scored the shock win for his team with a somersault senton. The crowd in the MEN Arena were left in a stunned silence.

The next bout at Collision Course was a four way dance featuring Anthony DeAngelo, Devon Ferrari, Ian Powers and Steve Bailey. The winner of this one will surely be considered for a TV Title shot in the not too distant future. There are a few issues in this one. Steve Bailey is still a bit miffed to say the least with Ian Powers and Leilani after they conspired to get rid of him from that same eight man elimination match mentioned earlier. Also, Anthony DeAngelo has somewhat of an Indian sign over Devon Ferrari at the moment with two straight victories over Everybody's Favourite Wrestler. Ferrari will be keen to change all that in this one.

Match highlights:
Devon Ferrari opened up with a swinging neckbreaker on Anthony DeAngelo, followed by a slingshot legdrop. As Ferrari continued to dominate the bout against Ian Powers, he was tripped by Leilani and Powers scored with an elbowsmash. Ferrari came back and picked up a couple of two counts with an electric chair drop and an STO. DeAngelo nailed Ferrari with a backbreaker and appeared to have him beaten again with the X-Spot, but Ian Powers made the save. Ferrari kicked out of the 69er Driver. Steve Bailey hit Devon Ferrari with a piledriver. Ferrari returned fire with a Northern Lights bomb, but Bailey DDTed him. Bailey German suplexed DeAngelo and rolled him up with a rana for two. DeAngelo executed the Bump 'n Grind. Bailey scored near falls with a flying cross body, a power bomb and a fisherman suplex. Bailey planted DeAngelo with the Pistol Whip, but Ferrari broke up the pin. Ferrari drilled DeAngelo with a German suplex, but Serenity distracted the referee. Devon Ferrari knocked the troublesome wench off the apron and then executed the Ego Has Landed moonsault on DeAngelo for the three count. Revenge is so sweet for Devon Ferrari.

Kickboxing Match.
"Dangerous" Dan "The Man" Stirling, a former World Kickboxing Champion, has succeeded in pissing off the entire Hammerlock locker room in recent weeks by ridiculing the sport of professional wrestling and claiming it is inferior to "real" sport like kickboxing. Nobody has taken this more personally than Martyn Sullivan, who has also taken a beating from Stirling through a series of cowardly attacks. Sullivan is so anxious to get his hands on Stirling that he hastily and somewhat foolishly accepted the challenge of a kickboxing match here tonight at Collision Course. Sullivan has no kickboxing experience whatsoever and appeared to be playing right into Dan Stirling's hands.

Dan Stirling made his way out to the ring to the strains of "Choke" by Kittie. He was surrounded by security and was being booed out of the building. Stirling entered the squared circle with a cocky smirk on his face while his cornerpeople sprayed water on him. He went through his pre-match warm-up routine while Martyn Sullivan appeared to a much more favourable crowd reaction. A specially-trained kickboxing official explained the rules while Chris Freeman introduced the judges at ringside. The official checked Martyn Sullivan for concealed foreign objects but as Sullivan turned his back, Dan Stirling floored him with a vicious roundhouse kick to the back of the head!! Sullivan was out cold. Stirling flipped off the irate crowd and locked on a chokehold on the motionless Martyn Sullivan. The official pleaded with Stirling to release the hold but he was hellbent on causing severe injury and damage. Eventually the security team pulled Dan Stirling off his victim and dragged him out of the arena. Concerned paramedics tended to Martyn Sullivan in front of the now hushed crowd.

Ben Winter interview, w/ Victoria Silvstedt.
Backstage, Kelly grabbed a quick word with The Iceman. Ben Winter claimed that he was focused and that tonight would be his night. He insinuated that he had been held back by Hammerlock management and despite that he had obliterated everything that had been put in his path, en route to dethroning Jason Prentice tonight. Winter added that Prentice had "a snowball's chance in hell" of stopping him fulfilling his destiny this evening at Collision Course. Victoria chimed in and threatened Linda O'Neil if she dared to get involved in the Heavyweight Title Match tonight.

It was now time for the first title match of the evening - the NWA-UK Hammerlock Tag Team Titles. The New Young Lions of Brandon Alvarez and Kyle Coulbourne were set to defend their gold against the cold, callous, calculating Bodysnatchers. Burke and Blair had stated their intentions of taking the titles in emphatic fashion when they brutally assaulted the champions after a successful steel cage title defence against La Cosa Nostra. The New Young Lions have sworn revenge for that attack ever since and will be keen to get redemption tonight. However, The Bodysnatchers are just as determined to leave Manchester as the new Tag Team Champions.

Match highlights:
Brandon Alvarez drilled Blair with a DDT, but Blair came back with a piledriver on the youngster. Kyle Coulbourne used a reverse neckbreaker on Burke for the first near fall of the title match. The challengers spiked Coulbourne with a nasty double DDT. Coulbourne used a spinning leg lariat and a belly-to-back suplex on Blair. Burke kneed Alvarez in the bread basket and planted him with a spinebuster slam for two. Burke floored Alvarez with a short clothesline, but the New Young Lions came back with a double backdrop. Alvarez then surprised Burke with an Asai moonsault to retain the titles.

Spanish sensation Muerte de Antedicho and computer nerd Will Gates were scheduled up next in a real grudge match. Gates had caused Antedicho great pain and embarrassment some weeks ago when he cold-cocked him with his laptop and stole his sacred mask. Antedicho gained some measure of revenge when he destroyed Gates' pride and joy, his laptop, on our last live show. But the emotional scars of humiliation have not gone away yet for Antedicho and he is desperate to take his frustrations out on Gates.

Match highlights:
Muerte de Antedicho started off like a house of fire, drilling Will Gates with an inverted swinging DDT and almost ending the contest early with a backslide. Gates wanted revenge of his own though after Antedicho destroyed his laptop and he scored with an inverted atomic drop. Antedicho executed a springboard moonsault for a near fall. The exciting Spaniard blocked the Hard Drive Crash but Gates was successful with a vertical suplex. Antedicho slid out of the Ctrl+Alt+Del though and planted Gates with a brain buster. Antedicho then quickly put the computer geek away with a spinning leg lariat for the very popular victory.

Muerte de Antedicho pinned Will Gates after a spinning leg lariat in 0:13:23.

Chris Freeman informed viewers that Martyn Sullivan had been taken to a local hospital for medical attention. He said that it was feared that Sullivan had suffered a concussion after the assault by Dan Stirling. Freeman added that he had just received word from Hammerlock supremo Peter Abram that Sullivan and Stirling would meet one-on-one in a wrestling match at the next available opportunity.

Footage was shown that documented the Hiro Kakuhari-Jawaid Kaleeq feud. This all started when Kaleeq was attacked by Kakuhari and his two henchmen, Minobu Katsuoka and Takayoshi Matsuhei, after Kaleeq had defeated Kakuhari in a number one contenders match to the TV Title. Kaleeq subsequently went on to end Bryan Campbell's 100 day reign as TV champ and capture the gold for himself. Kakuhari and his goons have been a thorn in Kaleeq's side ever since, signalling the Japanese superstar's intent to become Television Champion. He gets that chance tonight, but Kaleeq also has the opportunity to extinguish Kakuhari's challenge once and for all.

Hiro Kakuhari waited patiently in the ring before the bout, squinting, glaring and rubbing his hands as Jawaid Kaleeq appeared for the defence of his title. The crowd love Kaleeq and began chanting his name. He acknowledged their support and held his championship aloft, but he was suddenly jumped from behind by Minobu Katsuoka and Takayoshi Matsuhei! Kaleeq tried to fight them off but the numbers were against him. Chris Freeman revealed that Kakuhari and his two henchmen were going under the moniker of "Boryokudan", which loosely translated means "violence group". The New Young Lions arrived on the scene to help Kaleeq and they fought off Katsuoka and Matsuhei. Officials escorted the four men to the back while a battered Jawaid Kaleeq crawled gingerly to the ring to face a gleeful Hiro Kakuhari.

Match highlights:
It was extremely strange seeing a TV Title Match in Hammerlock without Bryan Campbell being involved. The pre-match attack didn't seem to phase the champion that much as he peppered Hiro Kakuhari with rights and lefts, but the challenger began to take over with a vicious succession of kicks. Kakuhari missed a handspring elbow and Kaleeq rocked him with a stiff rolling elbowsmash. Kaleeq gained a near fall with a tiger driver and then hit a German suplex. Kakuhari executed a Northern Lights suplex and then started to dominate the match with a spinning leg lariat, the Starlight Extinction and a top-rope Frankensteiner. The bout spilled to the floor, where Kaleeq smashed Kakuhari head-first into the ring steps, busting him wide open. Kaleeq drilled Kakuhari with a tiger suplex on the floor and the challenger was then counted out.
Hiro Kakuhari fired back immediately and the intensity he was showing was incredible, despite the heavy blood loss. He planted Jawaid Kaleeq with a snap suplex and kicked him right between the eyes, almost sending the TV champion to concussion city. However, Kakuhari missed the knock-out thrust kick to the head and Kaleeq rolled him up in the Tiger Clutch as quick as a flash to extend his lead.
Jawaid Kaleeq attempted to make Hiro Kakuhari submit with a Boston crab, but the bloodied challenger fought out of the hold and fired back with stinging chops, lighting up Kaleeq's chest. Kakuhari then popped the Rising Star Suplex out of nowhere to half the champion's advantage with over five minutes of the contest remaining.
Jawaid Kaleeq went back to looking for a submission victory, this time utilising a camel clutch. He hit a senton for a near fall and followed up with a running forearm smash, a back elbow and a flying dropkick which found the mark perfectly. Kaleeq was on a roll as he took Kakuhari down with a flying neckbreaker drop and a butterfly suplex. Hiro Kakuhari was bleeding profusely. Kaleeq pounded him with repeated forearm shots as the time limit expired. Jawaid Kaleeq overcame the odds to hold on to his gold.

Iron Man Match:
Jawaid Kaleeq beat Hiro Kakuhari 2 falls to 1:
x Kaleeq beat Kakuhari via countout in 0:09:33
x Kaleeq beat Kakuhari via the Tiger Clutch in 0:12:35
x Kakuhari beat Kaleeq via the Rising Star Suplex in 0:14:38
x time limit expired (Kaleeq and Kakuhari) in 0:20:00

Jason Prentice interview, w/ Linda O'Neil.
Kelly asked the Hammerlock Heavyweight Champion for his thoughts before his defence against Ben Winter in the main event. Jason Prentice replied that he wasn't afraid of The Iceman and was confident of retaining his championship. He bragged that he had turned back the challenge of anyone who had dared to cross his path before and stated that Ben Winter would be no exception. Prentice cockily added that there is a reason why he has held onto the Heavyweight Title for nearly six months - because he is the absolute best in the business.

Highlights of the dispute between Kontraband and Mystikal were shown. This rivalry was borne out of jealously as Mystikal couldn't handle the fact that observers regarded Kontraband as a better high-flyer than him. Matters weren't helped when Kontraband defeated Mystikal in a one-on-one match-up at Back 2 School. Soon afterward Mystikal turned full-blown heel on Kontraband when he pushed him off the top rope through a table during a tag team match with The Bodysnatchers. That led to this two-out-of-three falls table match being signed for tonight. The rules are simple: the man who goes through two tables will lose the match.

Match highlights:
Kontraband took the early advantage in this anything-goes encounter with spinning headscissors off a chair. Mystikal almost brought a premature end to his own career when he missed a super quebrada and he crashed and burned at ringside. Kontraband sent the disorientated Mystikal onto the announcers' table with a savate kick and then drove him through the hardware with a moonsault. First blood goes to Kontraband.
Kontraband hit a top-rope Frankensteiner and then blasted Mystikal with a DDT. The Goldie Lookin' Chain member was really struggling to get into this bout, possibly still feeling the effects of that earlier crazy bump at ringside. Kontraband went for an Asai moonsault, but Mystikal countered by Tombstoning him onto the steel chair that had been introduced previously! Mystikal followed up with a swinging DDT and kept the pressure on with spinning headscissors and a bodyslam. Mystikal executed his finisher, the Self Suicide. With the fans rallying behind him, Kontraband was able to come back with a rana, a missile dropkick and then he executed his own finishing manoeuvre, the Kontra Kode. Kontraband spiked Mystikal with a springboard leaping swinging DDT. However, Kontraband missed a tope con hilo and then Mystikal kicked him low. Mystikal signalled that the end was near and he slid a table into the ring. Mystikal set Kontraband up on the table and went for a springboard moonsault, but Kontraband moved at the last second and Mystikal got wood, handing the victory to Kontraband.

Table Two-out-of-three-Falls Match:
Kontraband beat Mystikal 2 falls to 0:
x Kontraband beat Mystikal via putting him through a table in 0:02:28
x Kontraband beat Mystikal via putting him through a table in 0:15:56

NWA-UK Hammerlock Heavyweight Champion "Picture Perfect" Jason Prentice and "The Iceman" Ben Winter were both shown on split-screen with their respective women preparing for their gargantuan championship match. A wonderfully produced video presentation was then shown documenting the feud between these two men. Everything was covered: Ben Winter signalling his intent to become champion by flooring Jason Prentice with the belt, Prentice returning fire by laying out Winter with a chair after The Iceman has destroyed half the Hammerlock roster, Winter steamrolling through The Punisher to claim the number one contendership and his staredown with Prentice afterward, The Iceman interrupting Prentice's celebrations for holding the title for 100 days and then Prentice attacking both Winter and Victoria Silvstedt on our last live show.

Match highlights:
Ben Winter used his size and strength advantage to overwhelm Jason Prentice at the outset of this huge title match. The Iceman scored with a sidewalk slam and a jumping DDT on the champion. Prentice managed to counter a spinebuster with a swinging neckbreaker and went to the eyes, but Winter kicked him in the head. The Iceman dominated Prentice with kneelifts, clotheslines, a Hotshot and a running powerslam which brought a two count. The title appeared to be in serious jeopardy for the champion. Winter hit a vertical suplex and another powerslam for a near fall. The Iceman locked on the Deep Freeze on the floor after Prentice tried to take a walk, but the champion ran Winter into the ringpost, abruptly turning the tide of the match-up. Prentice used a side suplex and a bodyslam, before repeatedly dropping The Iceman with clotheslines. Winter ducked a superkick though and caught Prentice in a choke lift. Winter dropped Prentice with a Spin Doctor, but Prentice kicked out. The Iceman, with bad intentions on his mind, hoisted Prentice onto the top turnbuckle and climbed up with him. Linda O'Neil attempted to stop Winter by grabbing his foot, but The Iceman kicked her away. Winter then drove Prentice down to the canvas with a spine-shattering top-rope power bomb!! The crowd were on their feet and their cheers were deafening as the referee counted to three!
Jason Prentice desperately tried to shake away the cobwebs and get back into the contest, but he was being physically dissected by Ben Winter. Winter countered a sleeperhold with a back suplex and then used a Gorilla Press. Prentice must have been feeling the title slipping away. So too was Linda as she jumped onto the ring apron to desperately cause a distraction. Victoria Silvstedt wasn't having any of it though as she dragged Linda back down. The two women traded slaps and a cat fight soon broke out to the joy of the males inside the MEN Arena. As the referee tried to separate the duelling hellcats, Prentice struck Winter with a low blow and rolled him up with a handful of tights to square the match.
The crowd were jeering the champion out of the building as Linda and Victoria clawed and scratched their way to the back. Ben Winter wore Jason Prentice down with a bearhug. Prentice blocked an inverted DDT though and superkicked the challenger. However, Prentice missed the Perfect Shot flying legdrop and The Iceman nearly decapitated him with a short clothesline. Winter hit an elbowsmash and power bombed the champion, who barely kicked out. Winter speared Prentice out of his boots and called for the finish. Prentice didn't have a clue where he was and he staggered straight into the Deep Freeze cobra clutch. The crowd were going wild, sensing a title change. Prentice was fading fast but he fortunately stumbled into the ropes. The champion held onto the ropes for dear life as the fans booed him. Prentice was coughing and spluttering, but The Iceman refused to release his grip. The referee quickly reached his five count, but Winter didn't seem to care and continued to apply pressure. Prentice was noticeably turning blue. The official twice attempted to physically break the hold, but he couldn't do it. He had no option but to call for the bell, disqualifying Winter. The Iceman had a crazed look in his eyes, but appeared to snap out of his demonic trance when he heard the ring bell. Winter realised what had happened and he threw the unconscious champion to the mat. The referee ran for cover as The Iceman appeared dangerously close to losing it again.

Two-out-of-three-Falls Match:
Jason Prentice beat Ben Winter 2 falls to 1:
x Winter beat J. Prentice via a top-rope power bomb in 0:13:37
x J. Prentice beat Winter via a low blow in 0:16:25
x J. Prentice beat Winter via disqualification in 0:27:44

Collision Course went off the air with a devastated Ben Winter beside himself, fully aware that he had blown a great opportunity to take the gold this evening. Jason Prentice meanwhile was sprawled out of the canvas gasping for air, lucky to still be in possession of the NWA-UK Hammerlock Heavyweight Championship.


Card rating: *** 1/4


Circuit information:
NWA-UK Hammerlock put on a fine show this evening, despite all the chaos that preceded it during the last couple of months. Thanks to everyone for their continued support of the product.

Jason Prentice escaped with his gold after The Iceman Ben Winter got himself disqualified for refusing to release his dangerous cobra clutch finisher when Prentice had made the ropes. It was a foolish move by Winter who has blown a chance of becoming champion and if Prentice has his way it'll be Winter's only opportunity. Prentice has already spoken to Hammerlock management and threatened not to defend his title against The Iceman ever again, claiming that wrestling Winter constitutes a "dangerous working environment". More on this story as it develops.

Jawaid Kaleeq fought off a brave challenge from Hiro Kakuhari tonight to hold on to the TV Title. This was all despite a pre-meditated beatdown before the match from Kakuhari's cohorts in the Boryokudan. Kakuhari lost a lot of blood in the match and showed a lot of guts in fighting on. Rumour has it that a rematch between the two men could be imminent.

The NWA-UK Tag Team Titles stayed put as well as The New Young Lions retained against The Bodysnatchers. However, Brandon Alvarez and Kyle Coulbourne may have another challenge very soon after the Boryokudan were not happy when they stuck their noses in their business.

Kontraband scored a big win over Mystikal this evening as he trounced him 2-0 in a best two-out-of-three tables match. Also, Muerte de Antedicho got a measure of revenge on Will Gates with a convincing victory. Devon Ferrari's huge win in that four corners match means that he'll be in line for a TV Title shot very soon and Matt Sizemore is particularly upset after he was pinned by Jeeves, condemning him, The Punisher and Junior Jones to a loss against The Aristocrats.

Dan Stirling's actions were disgusting tonight and Martyn Sullivan is dying to get his hands on him. Stirling should have had nothing to fear tonight as he was booked in a kickboxing match against someone who has never kickboxed in their life. However, he attacked him from behind and sent him to the hospital with a concussion. Someone is going to be seriously hurt when those two men finally lock up.

Due to our current lack of a television deal, Hammerlock regrets to inform you that we have had to make several roster cuts. We wish Aero, Delo, Tawheed, Chiz, Shellsuit Boab and Wee Tam from Young Posso Fleeto No.1, 2-Hats, One Step Down, Mike Balls, Adam Hussain, Billy Webb and The Maggot from Goldie Lookin' Chain, Brad and Marty from Team Buddies and Circus Act of Cobblers, Happy, Little Nick, Tom Fun and Pop-Up Polly all the very best in their future endeavours.

Thanks for joining us this evening. We'll be back with another Hammerlock show in the near future. Till then, so long everybody!

Great to see NWA-UK back on the boards!

I really enjoyed the main event, and the way Prentice keeps getting away with the title is just plain.. frustrating.. which is of course the way it should be. I liked the ending anyhow.

Impressive by Kaleeq to come back and win 2 consecutive falls after being ambushed... I think he'll turn out to be an even more solid TV champ than Campbell.

Will Gates is so funny.. a while back I had a fantasy circuit with my friends in it. One of my friends is of course a computer geek (everyone has one, right..).. anyway, his finishing move was also the Ctrl + Alt + Del, and he used a laptop as a foreign object  ;D

I like the realism involved in your circuit, as proven when you had to fire a lot of jobbers due to the lack of TV deal. Still, I'll miss the clowns  :-/

Great Work!
