The C.W.O. (Rehua) has been in discussions with the SCW Commissioner (Big Al) and the "Southern Championship Wrestling Management", and can now confirm that SCWs very own Italian Stallion "Sammy V" has been accepted to attend the "Lance Storm Training Academy" in Canada and will be joining WPWs own "Shining Nick Silver" for the opportunity of a life time to train with the former WWE great!
Because of this great news NZWPW will have a fortnightly diary (commencing in September) on our website with updates and news of their time spent in Canada.

Shining Nick Silver is a veteran of New Zealand wrestling and was the first co-holder of the NZWPW Tag team titles with Silencer Jon Miracle back in 2007. He is a stunt man, is keen advocate for New Zealand Wrestling and has a desire to get NZ wrestling out to the mainstream audience.

Sammy V is only new to the wrestling scene, but has always had a love of it. He trained in rugby and boxing and came across SCW earlier in the year. Even though he has only had two matches, his time spent in Canada will no doubt give him the edge he wants to improve greatly in the sport and hopes to one day to make a living from it. His first goal he has upon his return is to win the SCW title.

C.W.O Statement:

"I know that many fans were caught off guard by the events that transpired at Saturday night's Rival Turf show in Auckland, all I can say is that Team WPW were only acting on Mine and Dion's orders, and if any of the IPW roster and/or fans are still upset about the outcome; then just remember this...

It Was Only Business!"

IPW Rival Turf Quick Results

 
 Written by Luke Farmer

One of the biggest wrestling shows in New Zealand history kicked off earlier tonight in full force, producing a ton of memorable moments.

In an epic battle, "Te Tahi" Vinny Dunn defeated Reuben de Jong to become the new IPW Heavyweight champion!

Team NZWPW defeated Team IPW in the double ring spectacular match, with the Five Star Revolution JC Star and Travis Banks surviving in Team NZWPW, defeating IPW's A-Class for the win. As Team NZWPW beat down A-Class after the match, the IPW locker room started to pour out to help, only to be stopped in their tracks by Team NZWPW.

The new IPW Heavyweight champion "Te Tahi" Vinny Dunn hit the ring, only to be caught up in the brawl, taking a beating from Team NZWPW. As things looked dim for Dunn, "The Deal" Dal Knox made his triumphant return to IPW armed with a steel chair! Team NZWPW fled the ring as Knox hit the ring but then shocked the huge crowd by nailing Dunn with the chair!

As the crowd booed the returning Knox, IPW Commissioner Dion McCracken announced a title match was about to take place between "The Deal" Dal Knox and the new IPW Heavyweight champion, Vinny Dunn. The bell rang as Knox assaulted Vinny Dunn viciously with the steel chair, culminating with a three count to become the new IPW Heavyweight Champion. To a chorus of boos and chants, "The Deal" Dal Knox exited the ring with Team NZWPW as the show came to a close!

Ben Mana in PWAQ Australia

Filed under: Announcements

Former NZWPW tag team champion Ben Mana will be travelling to the Gold Coast in Australia next week with NZWPW Chairman Martin Stirling to train with some of Australia's top Sumo wrestlers in preparation for the "World Combat Games" in Beijing, China next month, but as a special surprise Martin Stirling has arranged for Ben Mana to meet one of the worlds greatest Sumo wrestlers ever: " AKEBONO". Akebono (Originally born in Hawaii) has made a name for himself all over the world for Sumo wrestling, but his skills have even helped him to step into the WWE wrestling ring against the Big Show in a Sumo style match at "Wrestlemania 21".  But the surprises do not stop there for Ben; due to Ben Mana's big win over former NZWPW Heavyweight Champion (Adam Avalanche) at Powerplay last month; the C.W.O of New Zealand Wide Pro Wrestling (Rehua) has also decided to reward Ben Mana with his first Australian match of his career at PWAQ next week on July 17th in the Gold Coast.  This could be a sign of great things to come for the Maori warrior.
 
Ben Mana will have his hands full at PWA Queensland this weekend, as the C.W.O. (Rehua) has not only placed him in a "Fatal Four Way Match" against Mark Davis, Esteban Molina and the current PWAQ Champion D Star, but the Fatal Four Way will also be for the PWA Queensland Championship. Will Mana fall to the more experienced wrestlers or will he be the first wrestler in NZWPW to hold the PWAQ Heavyweight Title, quite possibly being the biggest match of title?
