Gavin Quinn held the CLASH Championship for a record 15 months in a reign that may never be matched. On February 25th, the brash GQ will get his guaranteed rematch for the title! Should Petey Williams defeat Quinn at the Contenders Cup, he will do what no man has been able to do in two years, that is, defeat Gavin Quinn in a singles match (Quinn’s last pinfall loss in singles competition was against Jimmy Jacobs in February 2010).

Furthermore this will be the third time in the last 12 months that Quinn & Williams will square off in singles competition with Quinn leading Petey 2-0 in their prior encounters. Can Petey Williams finally defeat Gavin Quinn to continue his Championship reign? Or will Gavin Quinn prove that Seize The Day V was simply a fluke and regain the title that he has become synonymous with? There’s only one way to find out!

NEW CLASH HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION – PETEY WILLIAMS!
We’ve received tons of messages and compliments regarding the stellar main event that closed out SEIZE THE DAY V between Gavin Quinn, Petey Williams, and J. Miller. Already an early MOTY (Match Of The Year) candidate but more importantly it begins a new era…the era of Petey Williams. Petey successfully outlasted both competitors by pinning Gavin Quinn with his signature “Canadian Destroyer” off the top rope ending Quinn’s 15 month reign as champion. What will the era of Petey Williams behold? Gavin Quinn is entitled to a rematch according to his contract, when will this happen? Stay tuned to find out!

NEW CLASH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS – H3RD
Due to a match switch involving the Painkillers (Donnie & Jacob Hallows) getting involved in Zach Gowen & Colt Cabana’s bout; they were subsequently removed from their advertised title opportunity. This gave both H3RD (Tommy Treznik & Ded Vaughn) and Too Sweet (Bryce Benjamin & Joey Marx) better odds to 50/50. In the end, it was H3RD that left victorious making this version of Treznik’s H3RD formula two time tag team champions. Tommy Treznik currently holds the record as most Tag Team title wins (6 occasions) in which looks to be his most successful tag team formula yet with Ded Vaughn. To “Too Sweet’s” credit, its notable to mention that Bryce Benjamin was the first competitor to ever kick out of Treznik’s devastating “Bus Driver” maneuver before finally succumbing to the H3RD.

A “BOOM BOOM” DEBUT
Although originally advertised as Colt Cabana vs. Zach Gowen; and interruption by The Painkillers resulted in a tag team match giving Cabana & Gowen the victory in Cabana’s debut for CLASH Wrestling. Will we see Colt Cabana again? You can count on it! Colt Cabana received a great reaction from the CLASH faithful, so stay tuned for further talent announcements in our 2012 season.

WRECKINGBALL WINS, BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
In a match that had so many emotionally involved, the non-contracted Wreckingball defeated CLASH competitor, “Caveman” Tyler Elkins in a non-sanctioned bout at SEIZE THE DAY V. Hold on, but where do we go from here? Remember, Randy “Wreckingball” Casey is NOT employed by CLASH Wrestling since being released by CEO Truth Martini in April 2011 and reinforced by his right hand man Dragon Greed. So although it’s a win for Wreckingball, this is not a contract back into CLASH Wrestling and on 2/25 he will be purchasing a ticket for general admission should he want to support CLASH. What’s on Elkins’ mind though? He lost to a non-contracted individual certainly damaging some his integrity. What will he have to say? Find out at CONTENDERS CUP on 2/25!

CAMERON SKYY’S BRASH FAREWELL TO “AMAZING” N8
One of the other big moments of SEIZE THE DAY V featured “Amazing” N8 Mattson’s departure from a 15 year in-ring competitor to the business. This moment allowed N8 to talk about what he had accomplished, what’s next, and lastly to pass the torch to those he had been connected with in CLASH – Mena Libra & Cameron Skyy. In the midst of this speech, Cameron Skyy intervened by saying that torch was extinguished just like N8’s career. Skyy brought to attention that he was former three-time CLASH Champion (more than any competitor) and since being “mentored” by N8 Mattson, it has only brought him loss after loss. Skyy stated that 2012 would be a new year with no N8; with that said Cameron Skyy later on went to gain the win over Former WWE Star Jimmy Wang Yang.

GREED IS GOOD
For Dragon Greed, the 1%’er, greed certainly is good as money talks. Impromptu, Greed (with his CEO power from Truth Martini) added a special referee of Austin Manix to call his singles bout with “Swagg Starr” Dave Manzo. Needless to say, this handicap aided Greed to victory and is a story we’re certain we haven’t seen the end of yet.

WILL VENDETTA RETURNS
While he’s been on the CLASH roster since our birth on January 5, 2008; Will Vendetta has seen a variety of transformations. Being brought in as an aspiring green-haired independent wrestler, becoming the “Guitar Hero,” then denouncing his name to be referred to as William J. O’Malley; you might ask why back to Will Vendetta? Well, we don’t know either, but what we do know is that is had something to do with “Mad Scientist” Tommy Treznik’s left over elixir for Ded Vaughn made to take Vaughn back to his previous form (more monstrous) for a tag title win. This previous form if drunk by a guy like William J. O’Malley…I think you get where we’re going here. Will Vendetta of old is back, and we’re interested to see what goals he has set!

That’s all for now, we’ll be back frequently updating you on the explosive card we have in store for CONTENDERS CUP on February 25th in Taylor, MI!

We know what to expect of the evening’s Main Event, the Contenders Cup Match itself, where six of the top competitors in CLASH Wrestling will battle in an Elimination Style Match until one person is left, thus winning possession of the Contenders Cup Trophy & #1 Contendership to the CLASH Championship! Expect the Contenders Cup Match competitors to be announced in the days and weeks to come, until then we do have the first signed match to announce for February 25th.

Last month, CLASH management decided that the CLASH Tag Team Championship would be contested under Triple Threat rules at Seize The Day V. Those in attendance saw the Painkillers ruin said match, but CLASH officials have ordered that the match to take place at Contenders Cup!

Thus, on February 25th, the CLASH Tag Team Champions of The H3RD will defend their gold against the former champions Too Sweet and the demonic duo of the Painkillers! Never in CLASH history has the Tag Team titles been defended in a Triple Threat Match, but that will change at the Contenders Cup! Which team will walk out with the gold around their waists? There’s only one way to find out! Join us for CONTENDERS CUP on FEBRUARY 25TH! Tickets are available, now, click here to get yours today!

RESULTS (01/21/2012):

**Colt Cabana vs. Zach Gowen turned into a No Contest when The Painkillers (Donnie & Jacob Hallows) interjected themselves thus turning the bout into a Tag Team match.

* Petey Williams def. “GQ” Gavin Quinn & J. Miller when Petey pinned Quinn to become the new CLASH Heavyweight Champion.

CLASH WRESTLING: SEIZE THE DAY V (Anniversary Event)

GAVIN QUINN (c) vs. PETEY WILLIAMS vs. J.MILLER (CLASH CHAMPIONSHIP MAIN EVENT)
In what’s hyped to be a 2012 “Match Of The Year” candidate already, this main event sells itself. The year-long championship reign of “GQ” Gavin Quinn is put to the test against rivals Petey Williams and J.Miller in a bout that will be contested in Triple Threat rules. Quinn and Williams are no stranger to one another having two intense matches in 2011, both Quinn walked out victorious. Insert former CLASH Champion, J. Miller who has silenced the champ with a “Goodbye Tooth” at 100, however we have yet to see Miller and Quinn go at it in one on one action. After months of these three intertwined in matches with one another and the surprising conclusion of the Divided We Fall “Eliminator Series” final; there’s no doubt that these three competitors are the rightful headlining contenders to close out SEIZE THE DAY V!

TOO SWEET (c) vs. H3RD vs. THE PAINKILLERS (CLASH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP)
Both of CLASH Wrestling’s prized championships for the first time will be contested under Triple Threat rules. What better collaboration of Tag Team talent than the red hot Too Sweet (Bryce Benjamin & Joey Marx) (c), H3RD (“Mad Scientist” Tommy Treznik & Ded Vaughn), and The Painkillers (Donnie & Jacob Hallows) competing for tag supremacy. There’s no question that Too Sweet and H3RD alone have had their epic battles exchanging the gold from one another. Now, insert the former H3RD members of The Painkillers. Will there be any allegiance between H3RD and the Painkillers? Is it every team for themselves? Find out this Saturday night!

COLT CABANA vs. ZACH GOWEN
This special attraction will be one for the independent ages. Both are former WWE superstars and notable through the Independent circuit for their contributions to Professional Wrestling. “Boom Boom” Colt Cabana makes his CLASH debut against Michigan’s own “One Legged Wonder” Zach Gowen which will surely be a treat this Saturday in Taylor, MI!

“CAVEMAN” TYLER ELKINS vs. WRECKINGBALL (NO COUNTOUTS, NO DISQUALIFICATION)
Hey folks, technically this one is off the grid. If we all recall, Randy “Wreckingball” Casey is no longer contracted by CLASH Wrestling to perform since being terminated by CEO Truth Martini early last year. His drive to get his job back is evident with his attendance to every live event paying the ticket price. Additionally, the Wreckingball as those knew him by has dropped a considerable amount of weight (200+ lbs.) and even won the opportunity to compete against Gavin Quinn (c) this past fall when he was awarded a Golden Ticket entry to All Out War! and won. Needless to say, his reoccurring appearances at all our live events has been an inspirational journey of a man who is focused and determined to get his foot back in the door, here at CLASH.

His biggest roadblocks however are the CEO’s protégé Dragon Greed and new rival “Caveman” Tyler Elkins whom has tried to have the Wreckingball banned from purchasing a ticket. Dragon Greed has granted Elkins his wish in getting a non-sanctioned bout with Wreckingball at Seize The Day V to abolish him completely. Who will be victorious?? Find out this Saturday Night!

JIMMY WANG YANG vs. “ACE HIGH” CAMERON SKYY
In another huge special attraction, Former WWE Star Jimmy Wang Yang makes his CLASH return to battle “Ace High” Cameron Skyy! Cameron Skyy is the only man in CLASH Wrestling history to have captured the CLASH Championship on more than 1 occasion (he’s actually a three time former champion) who’s career is at a crossroads following the impromptu retirement of his partner & mentor “Amazing” N8 Mattson. One must think that both Yang and Skyy have a lot to prove, not only to themselves, but to one another as well! Who’s walking out with the win? The Fun Loving Cowboy or Sin City Sparklin’? Only one way to find out, and that’s by joining us for SEIZE THE DAY V!

“SWAGG STARR” DAVE MANZO vs. DRAGON GREED
This one has grudge written all over it. In August, CEO Truth Martini appeared to be offering Dave Manzo the job of a lifetime; to be the CEO’s assistant. When Martini was turned down, Dragon Greed (who had been terminated earlier that year) accepted followed by a devastating powerbomb to the “Swagg Starr.” Since then, these two have been back and forth. Manzo successfully pinned Greed at Divided We Fall in November to advance in the “Eliminator Series” however Greed got the last laugh interfering and causing Manzo to be eliminated. This is the rematch with Greed looking to redeem his loss and Manzo looking to redeem Greed’s assault. It all goes down this Saturday Night!

“AMAZING” N8 MATTSON SAYS FAREWELL
While CLASH fans may be most familiar with Mattson’s work over the past year including his partnership with Cameron Skyy & Mena Libra, “Amazing” N8 leaves behind a storied 15 year career. “Amazing” N8 plans to address all of CLASH Wrestling one final time, live at Seize The Day V on January 21st! What does N8 have to say? What are his plans for the future? There’s only one way to find out! Join us for our first event of 2012: SEIZE THE DAY V on JANUARY 21ST!
