Tag Team match
The Pitbulls, Jamie Noble & Kid Kash vs
The American Wolves, Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards​

The Pitbulls have had the numbers of the American Wolves for weeks on NACW TV. They have gone 0/11 over the past number of few weeks against Noble and Kash, getting closer and closer each time only to be thwarted by the dastardly Pitbulls.
The American Wolves have a monkey on their backs and that monkey is a pair of Pitbulls. Edwards and Richards have thrown down one last challenge against their opponents. If the Wolves win, Noble and Kash must attend obedience training classes with NACW President, Tim Storm. If the Pitbulls win, Edwards and Richards must eat a 4-course meal of dog foods.
The pressure is on. Will the Wolves be able to send the Pitbulls to class? Or will the Wolves’ mouths be watering as the dinner bell rings?

Singles match
“Hollywood” Bob Holly (w/ Alexandra York) vs
Charlie Haas
Bob Holly has been making a name for himself in the NACW. A flamboyant appearance has served him well in having his opponents let their guards down, only to be brutalized by a capable, smashmouth pro wrestler. Holly has been preaching to the NACW fans what pro wrestling is. “It’s nothin’ fancy! You smash ‘em and bash ‘em and move on to the next!”
Holly has been an outspoken critic of the current NACW Pure champion Shelton Benjamin. Calling his wrestling needlessly fancy and repeatedly asking Benjamin who he’s trying to impress. Holly believes he is the perfect wrestler to carry the Pure championship, as he views himself as the purest form of pro wrestler there is. A guy who will beat you down and get the W, with no care for if the fans enjoy themselves.
Charlie Haas has rushed to the aid of his former tag partner and close friend. Taking exception to the disrespect Holly shows Benjamin, the Pure championship, NACW and the great NACW fans. “If it weren’t for these fans you wouldn’t have a Pure championship to challenge for!”
Now with Alexandra York and the York Foundation, and all the money that comes with them, Holly looks primed to rocket up the card. Will Holly defeat Haas and move onto the Pure championship? Or will Holly find himself in a Haas Of Pain?



Tag Team match
NACW President Tim Storm & “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes (w/ Mark Briscoe) vs
“Cute Boy” Matt Bentley & 9-1-1 (w/ Francine)​

Following the financial collapse of NACW when running under former management, the Board of Directors have brought in Tim Storm to act as President and right the ship. Tim Storm’s first order of business has been to sign a star. Shawn Michaels, following his recent departure from the WWF, seemed like the perfect pick to scoop up. Unfortunately, Michaels has come with a lot of baggage outside of his high asking price. Michales and his friends have made NACW a living hell for those backstage.
Tim Storm has found it harder and harder to control Shawn Michael’s increasingly erratic behavior. He has tried everything short of suspending or firing Michaels, as the Board of Directors refuses to go without their potential star. Keeping Michaels and the Board happy has been no easy feat, as other areas of the promotion are being neglected. Young stars on the rise have long left and NACW is quickly gaining the reputation of being a joke and bad place to work.
Michaels and his gang had taken apart the arts and crafts made by Tim Storm’s young son, in Storm’s office. Michaels was using a Father’s Day Love coupon book to fashion nasal straws from, as well as using finger paintings as napkins and tissue. Storm had had enough. He has hired “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes as VP of talent relations to crack down on Michaels, which has resulted in petty retaliations such as slashed tires, graffiti, and endless prank calls. One particularly nasty prank call of Shawn pretending to be a doctor with bad news regarding Mama Storm, was traced to Matt Bentley’s phone. With Michaels refusing to admit his wrongdoings, Storm plans to teach Bentley a lesson. That lesson? Get better friends or you’re left holding the bag.
If Storm and Rhodes win, we will see Francine, Bentley and 911’s contracts terminated, leaving Michaels all alone to fend for himself. Michaels’ rival, Jay Briscoe, has sent Mark Briscoe to be in the corner of Tim Storm and Dustin Rhodes, to level the field.

Singles match – Jr. Heavyweight Championship
Austin Aries (C) vs
Darby Allin​

Austin Aries has held onto the Jr. Heavyweight Championship since the “reboot” of NACW. Aries has taken on all comers who are steadfast in their goal to silence him, but none have been able to overcome the raw talent and ability of the controversial wrestler. It also helps that Aries was able to hold the belt longer than many felt he would have, due to citing his seemingly disingenuous claims of being fearful of COVID. President Storm has attempted to strip Aries of the title several times, only for Aries’ lawyers to overturn them.
Aries continues to refuse to give consent for a title defense on the ground of safety, only to have his fears doubted by new signee Darby Allin. Allin has let Aries know that he has given consent for a match and has gone through all possible COVID protocols to receive a clean bill of health. With no excuses or anywhere left to turn, Aries must accept the challenge.
Aries does not want to just beat Allin, he wants to embarrass him for his hubris. “At S.O.S. Call the Fire Brigade, I will no longer be responsible for your health and safety” he told Allin.
Last week on NACW Live! Darby assaulted Aries in the ring, giving Aries a Coffin Drop through a table. Will that be the scene at S.O.S. Call the Fire Brigade? Or will Aries stand tall after one too many risks from Allin?

Last Man Standing – Singles match
“The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase (w/ Virgil) vs
Tetsuya Naito (w/ Ted DiBiase Jr.)​

With Naito spending most of his time in Japan, he has lost touch on the day-to-day business of Los Ingobernables in Mexico. With the popularity of pro wrestling being down following the financial collapse of once-prominent North American Championship Wrestling, business was being hurt South of the boarder in AAA as well. With less money being made wrestling, Los Ingobernables began selling off pieces of their organization. A sizable piece was purchased by none other than Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man himself.
With a much-needed injection of funds into the faction, it’s members are excited to get back to wrestling, hoping to get in on the “reboot” of NACW. “Oh you thought you would be wrestling for me? I’ll tell you what, I happen to have a lot of seasonal residences, especially a large “casa” in Meheeco. You do a good job cleaning that up, I’ll see what I can do about wrestling.”
DiBiase put the members of Los Ingobernables to work. Long days, no rest day and a salary below minimum wage has greatly thinned the numbers of the faction, and has left those who remain in a sorry state. On a rare rain day for the team, their old partner and leader Naito arrived for a visit, but was quickly annoyed at the lack of energy his friends had. For days he watched his friends be worked like dogs by DiBiase, unable to take breaks and goof off with Naito. Naito demanded DiBiase release his friends from The Million Dollar Man’s employ, but DiBiase refused. Instead offering Naito to buy the faction, for a cool $1,000,000. Naito’s answer to this? He spit in DiBiase’s face and stormed off, enraging DiBiase.
On an episode of NACW Live! last month, DiBiase brought Naito’s friends Bushi and El Terrible to the ring. “These two ingrates were found taking a long lunch when they had strict expectations to meet. Time to pay the piper. And Naito, I hope you’re watching!” DiBiase and Virgil gave each Bushi and El Terrible a public beating that mostly comprised of strapping both men with his designer belt.
The following weeks on NACW Live!, Naito returned the favor, sending in a tape from Japan. The tape held footage of Naito corrupting none other than Ted DiBiase Jr. Naito took Ted Jr on a few nights of heavy drinking and heavy eating, then showed footage of DiBiase Jr in an inebriated state, in full Oshiroi make-up, while goofing off and playing X-Box with Naito. “My son now” said Naito to the camera, before smashing his X-box controller over the head of Ted Jr, busting him open and launching a full scale beating that Ted Sr could not finish watching.
What has started as a disagreement has grown into a full-scale blood feud. Will Naito be able to rescue his friends, or will he be bought and sold like the others by Ted DiBiase!? Will DiBiase be able to stay focused with his son in Naito’s corner, now corrupted? Call the Fire Brigade to find out!

Singles match – NACW Pure Championship
Shelton Benjamin (C) vs
Nigel McGuinness
Special guest enforcer: Junk Yard Dog​

President Tim Storm has decided to try some new things in order to get NACW back to prominence. This includes the creation of a back-to-basics division known as the Pure division. Matches have a 20-minute time limit and cannot have stipulations added. There must be a handshake before and after the match and the belt is to be defended no less than once a month. All matches for this belt must be televised.
Shelton Benjamin was the man who won the tournament to become the first ever NACW Pure Champion, defeating his partner Charlie Haas in a respectful classic. Benjamin has not shied away from defending his title against any and all comers.
Enter Nigel McGuinness, who offered to manage Benjamin as he could see the pitfalls he himself fell into previously in McGuinness’ career. He has had spirited debates with Benjamin, about how it is not the fans who matter but the belt and the division itself. Benjamin blew off this advice and said he is a fighting champion who will not back down from any challengers.
During Shelton’s last defense of the Pure Championship against Davey Richards on an episode of NACW Live!, Nigel McGuinness had the audacity to interfere. This is frowned on by both the NACW organization and the great fans of NACW, who view the Pure Championship as it’s own division with clearly defined rules and regulations written around mutual respect.
“If you all love Shelton then you should be cheering me for what I did! It was you people, the very same people, who pushed me into nearly ruining my career by defending titles and throwing everything I had into matches, all for YOUR enjoyment! Shelton Benjamin will be in the same spot I was unless I stop him now!”
“Didn’t you hear, Nigel?”
asked Benajmin. “There ain’t no stopping me!” Benjamin faces his fiercest competition yet in accomplished and dangerous wrestler Nigel McGuinness. But Benjamin must have his head on a swivel given his last defense ended in a disqualification after interference. And knowing Bob Holly and the York Foundation have eyes on gold in NACW, he’ll have to have eyes in the back of his head.
Because of the previous interference, President Storm has decided to give the local New Orleans fans a treat by making local hero Junk Yard Dog the special guest enforcer!
Who will be crowned the Purest professional wrestler in NACW? Find out at S.O.S. Call the Fire Brigade!

Tag Team match – NACW World Tag Team Championship
Strike Force (Rick Martel & Tito Santana) vs
“Stroke Force” Dolph Ziggler & Jeff Jarrett (w/ Alexandra York)​

Ever since Rick Martel had a change of heart and teamed with good friend Tito Santana, their tag team Strike Force has been flying high in NACW. They have delighted fans with thrilling matches while also being stand-up guys. Alexandra York returned from her extended vacation after Hearts on Fire and immediately took notice of the charismatic team.
York offered Strike Force a handsome deal to join her Foundation, a group she has big plans for in NACW. After flirting with and trying to honeypot Martel, it was his good friend Tito who helped him snap out of it and say no to the she-devil. Dejected and without a top tag team, York gave a call to her old flame Dolph Ziggler.
During an exhibition tag match between Strike Force and the Pitbulls, Dolph made his presence known on commentary with York. As Strike Force looked primed for a victory, Ziggler climbed the apron to distract Tito and the referee as York teased Martel, which opened the door for none other than new signee Jeff Jarrett to come out of nowhere and slam a guitar over Martel’s head. It was Strike Force’s first loss in NACW.
Jarrett: “That’s right tonight Rick, you got to sample my newest hit titled “I just got a guitar bashed over my head for being a stupid son of a bitch!” You need to understand Martel that when you’re with the York Foundation, you get the money. And when you get the money, what do you get Dolph?”
Dolph: “You get the power, JJ. You get the clout, the sway. You get…the stroke!”
With newly formed Stroke Force, do Tito and Martel have what it takes to overcome the power of money and greed? Or will the York Foundation get one step closer to domination of NACW?!

Singles match – NACW World Heavyweight Championship
Shawn Michaels (c) w/ Francine and 911 vs
Jay Briscoe w/ Mark Briscoe​

It has been trying times for NACW. Ever since the departure of it’s champion a year ago and a large drop in ratings, the wrestling industry has been struggling. The NACW Board of Directors needed someone new to take over the reigns and try to steer the promotion back to former glory. The stern principal of wrestling, Tim Storm, seemed like the right man for the job. He was warm, no-nonsense and cheap but with the ability to back up his words in the ring if he had to.
Storm was scouting for new wrestlers to be on top when he ran into a down on his luck Shawn Michaels. Michaels, who was previously WWF Champion in New York, had rashly given his walking papers when someone else became more popular than him, and the Heart Break Kid regretted it. Taking pity on Michaels, and knowing he is one of the best technically gifted athletes in wrestling, Storm took a chance on Shawn. Shawn began to thrive under Storm and NACW to the point of receiving a nice bonus
Shortly thereafter Michaels started inviting his friends to shows. Namely his new girlfriend, Francine and his protégé, the “cute boi” as he’s called, Matt Bentley. Bentley is a good kid with stars in his eyes and is largely unaware of Michaels’ tactics being used to keep Bentley under his thumb. Finally, HBK brought in infamous wrestling bodyguard, 911, who Michaels sometimes refers to as “Kev” during particularly wild nights.
Being a big fish in a small pond has suited Michaels well. He is the clear best that NACW has to offer, and that was partly due to pulling pranks and schemes on other wrestlers. From encouraging guys to take much-needed naps only to rat them out as sleeping on the job, to having Francine leave suggestive voicemails on their machines back home, Michaels has been a terror for those he may have some trouble defeating. One wrestler, who shall remain nameless for legal reasons, may have been drugged with LSD spiking their water bottle. These things cannot be proven or held against Michaels, as 911, Bentley and Francine are often serving as his personal eye-witnesses for his alibis and whereabouts. President Tim Storm has been at his wit’s end, as his heartfelt talks and lectures have clearly fallen on deaf ears. Tim Storm has learned that no good deed goes unpunished.
Unfortunately for Micahels, a new man has arrived to challenge him for the NACW World Heavyweight Championship. One a little rougher than Michaels, a little dirtier than Michaels. A man who cannot be tricked out of competition with the Jr. High tactics of the Heart Break Kid; Jay Briscoe! Jay has had enough of the “Pretty Petty Primadonna” as he calls him. One night when Jay invited Michaels to fight him at the Briscoe Family farm, Michaels showed up in a rental car with 911, Bentley and Francine instead of coming alone, throwing tomatoes at the Briscoes and laughing. The smiles on Michaels’ and his posse’s faces were quickly wiped off when Jay simply got in his pickup and drove after the miscreants resulting in a dangerous chase.
Michaels has been a shell of his former self, paranoid and looking over his shoulder for Jay Briscoe, the man with no fear for this “kliq”. Michaels has demanded Jay Briscoe be fired due to HR violations and creating an unsafe workplace, only for Briscoe to reveal the footage from his Go-Pros he has set up to monitor deer. Michaels was seen as the aggressor and with nowhere to run, he must face Jay Briscoe. Storm and NACW have already threatened Michaels and his friends with legal action should he fail to show up or come up with any more excuses.

Shawn: “Jay Briscoe! You think you have the Heart Break Kid scared do ya? Well I DON’T THINK SO. You have created a caged animal who will take you down, Jay. I tried to do you a favor by having the match called off, Jay. It wasn’t for my sake, it was for yours! And when my protégé the Cute Boi pins President Limpdick Storm at the PPV, I’m going to have my whole gang with me!”
Bentley: “And then I get a shot at the belt right Shawn?”
Shawn: “Sure, Matt. Yes that’s right.”
Jay: “SHAWN MICHAELS! Your time is up, boy. And no amount of prayin’, whinin’, cryin’ or schemin’ is gon’ get you out of it. And if that discount Diesel 911 or that bankrupt hoe Francine try anything, my brother Mark will be having them dancing to the calls of SOOOOOOIEEEEEE! Farmin’ is what we do and we gon’ round all you pigs up in the pen, I promise you that, boys.”
Mark: “S.O.S. Call the Fire Brigade! New Orleans! Briscoes and the Kliq! It’s gon’ be straight FIRE boys that’s why they want us to call the damn brigade. Well, Shawn, the Briscoe brigade is comin’ to put you out, boy!”

Who will walk out of NACW S.O.S. Call the Fire Brigade as the World Heavyweight Champion? Will harmony be restored? Or will Shawn Michaels continue his reign of terrible unprofessionalism and drive NACW under?

I went with HandsomeHollywood as when push comes to shove, I prefer storylines over a theme, plus Michaels is my favourite wrestler ever. Roster quality is fairly similar and each card has some random favourites of mine like Aries and Graham.

There's storylines for all my matches (except the Rumble) but I don't like writing them out because to me, it takes away from the mystery and makes the card extremely predictable.

Mr Wonderful v the Tornado is a match that feels like it could never happen, yet so easily could have. I am intrigued by that one.

I can only judge what's there but I can understand where you come from. We all present them in different ways. I try not to make mine too obvious in terms of the result, and in many cases I don't really consider the result all that much anyway. The mix of presentation styles is probably good for keeping the draft matchups fresh.
