2010 NPCI WINNERS & NEW CLASH ACQUISTIONS ARE TOO SWEET!
No pun intended here, the 2010 NPCI Tag Tournament brought many unique athletes from around the globe, but it was the team of Too Sweet (Bryce Benjamin & Joey Marx) who outlasted them all last pinning Treznik & GQ to not only win NPCI, but were offered Full-Time CLASH Contracts who will make their presence felt on 8/14 in Dearborn, MI as they’re hot off a huge win! Who will step up to the plate to take on the newcomers, keep at CLASHWRESTLING.COM for signed matches as we draw closer!

OVER 1 YEAR IN THE MAKING – DRAGON KREED vs. CAMERON SKYY
If you’re new to CLASH Wrestling, lets catch you up… “Ace High” Cameron Skyy is a multi-time CLASH Champion whom was on a hot streak for quite some time stemming from 2008-2009 with the gold, until a man named Dragon Kreed entered the fray. Kreed built up quite a following with his intensity and continually running through opponents until the 2 finally met in battle. Kreed rightfully defeated Skyy to become a World Champion, and in a series of battles, Skyy was never able to defeat Kreed despite many efforts. In June ’09, Skyy and Kreed headlined once again, but this time a new alliance between Skyy & Elkins led to an attack on Kreed following their match, ripping Kreed’s shoulder muscles, requiring surgery & time away from the ring.
Kreed’s absence concluded upon his return January 2010, as he sought after the two individuals responsible and his gold. However, you know what they say about karma, as Cameron Skyy was shelved due to a broken forearm sustained at a live event in Chicago, IL. The two are now at a 100% recovery, and will meet – the be all end all, no gold, just a bitter feud that comes to a head on 8/14 in Dearborn, MI!

I LIKE THAT OL’ TIME “WRECK N ROLL”
Now, Wreckingball may not be thrilled with Will Vendetta’s cheesy theatrics as a partner, but there’s no doubt that Wreck ‘N’ Roll as a team, becoming CLASH Tag Team Champions, doesn’t appear to be a fluke! Yes, they are the oddest couple in CLASH, and Wreckingball has insinuated his disinterest in Tag Teaming with Vendetta, however Tag Gold will put a smile on anyone’s face. But, suffering a defeat via DQ to Night-Life (“Swagg Starr” Dave Manzo & Jack Night) in the 2nd round of the NPCI; this entitles the former Tag Champions to a rematch that has been signed to 8/14 at GRAPPLEGANZA! Can WRECK N’ ROLL prove they are not a fly-by-night Tag Team or will the more experience Tag Specialists Night-Life reclaim their gold?

WHO’S A CONTENDER FOR THE CLASH CHAMPIONSHIP?
This has been the puzzling question that upper CLASH Management including CEO Truth Martini has yet to address. Current CLASH Champion J. Miller is scheduled to be in the house on 8/14 but has yet been given a challenger. Most recently on CLASH TO THE FUTURE II in early June, the title picture looked a bit interesting as J. Miller defeated former partner/ally Tommy Treznik, however this brought out Cameron Skyy avenging Treznik from releasing him as Champion in April (media to which available at www.youtube.com/clashwrestling), inevitably then bringing Dragon Kreed out to dismantle Skyy for reasons stated above! So who’s the #1 Contender? We know Skyy defeated Miller this past NPCI weekend for a spot in CHIKARA’s Young Lions Cup, but does that constitute a title shot? These answers are promised to by Truth Martini on or before 8/14!

WOMEN COMPETITION IN CLASH WRESTLING
Well, it’s finally arrived, the females have taken to the squared circle in CLASH as of this year, and we have witnessed many talented athletes walk through the doors! CLASH Wrestling’s own Mena Libra has experienced the usual ups & downs with wins & losses here in CLASH, but the biggest hurdle seems to be a bitter CEO Truth Martini who’s initial stance on Women’s Wrestling was negative in CLASH. It then came out that it wasn’t Women’s Wrestling that Martini was annoyed by, but rather the success of Mena Libra. The most recent hurdle in Libra’s way has been Shimmer Star Nevaeh who has two wins over Libra. Does CEO Truth Martini have additional micro-managing road blocks for Libra, perhaps we’ll get more information on 8/14!

TOMMY TREZNIK HAS GONE MAD – MAD SCIENTIST THAT IS!
For his tenure in CLASH Wrestling, Tommy Treznik has always unloaded some of the most unique maneuvers on his opponents not ever seen by the outside world. His well renowned “Bus Driver” among others have scored him recognition in addition to many victories. Since the split of the H3RD, Treznik, now referring to himself as the “Mad Scientist of Maneuvers” stays up long hours developing new methods of destruction to his opponents using the squared circle as his laboratory. This can only mean “not so good” things for his opponents…

“ACE HIGH” CAMERON SKYY RETURNS!
This past weekend at CLASH TO THE FUTURE pt. II, “Ace High” Cameron Skyy made a shocking return from his forearm injury he sustained this past April. In a “Back In Time” match, “Swagg Starr” Dave Manzo had to battle his opponent from January 5, 2008; CLASH Wrestling’s first event – which happened to be Cameron Skyy! Skyy went home with the victory that night, but by the nights conclusion, we saw that Dragon Kreed had not forgotten their storied past. Dragon Kreed hit his “Divide & Conquer” lariat on Skyy following Skyy’s revenge on Treznik. This story looks to still be in the development…

H3RD NO MORE – A WILD CHASE FOR THE GOLD
What seems to be a trend in the proclaimed “unified by difference” duo; the H3RD have waged war against none other than each other. If you remember, first conflicts in the group was brought on in January 2009 when Tommy Treznik deserted J. Miller allowing his skull to be crushed by The Wreckingball. This year, Treznik is hungry for singles gold; the same singles gold that J.Miller already possesses since defeating him at Age of Allegiance ’10.

This story gets more intertwined as it was Tommy Treznik robbing the gold from an injured Cameron Skyy on this same event, marking the first night the CLASH Championship had ever changed hands twice in one night! To make things more confusing, we now have Dragon Kreed out seeking his revenge on Skyy and wanting his piece of the golden pie. Looks to be a “wait & see” scenario as this plays out…

THE ENEMIES (FORMERLY THE FRIENDS)
Ever since GQ’s betrayal on Rave Killbourn back in February this year, the CLASH F aithful have watched their beloved, most decorated Tag Team then known as The Friends, deteriorate to a hatred deeper than any in CLASH. This past weekend on 6/4, The Friends were forced to reunite to take on The Jawbreakers (Danny Danger/Josh Thor); and naturally GQ deserted Killbourn allowing Thor to get the pin. It is yet to be seen if GQ & Rave Killbourn’s names will be entered into this year’s NPCI Tournament.

WRECK N ROLL
So, how about the oddly formed duo of “Wreck N Roll?” You have the dominance of the solo Wreckingball plus the cheesy theatrics of “Guitar Hero” Will Vendetta and that equals CLASH Wrestling’s Tag Team Champions. Wreck N Roll managed to defeat Night-Life (Dave Manzo & Jack Night) at Age Of Allegiance in April on a one shot random pairing! Can say anything you want about them, but they carry the gold all Tag Teams are striving for, and will put their cohesive unit to the test at this years NPCI Tag Tournament in July as they are one of the 16 entrants!

2010 NPCI TAG TOURNAMENT
