UPCOMING LIVE EVENT
AWF PSYCHOTICSLAM 2011
SAT 27 AUGUST – BLACKTOWN, NSW


It’s Australia’s biggest annual Wrestling event, it’s PsychoticSlam! Since 1999 PsychoticSlam has been AWF’s biggest event of the year, and 2011’s edition promises again to be a great extension of the tradition as we return to Blacktown RSL for a world wide Internet Pay Per View edition of AWF Wrestling.

Elite Wrestling has been continuing to build momentum, as Jay Law has hounded AWF Champion Iron Ben Coles over recent months as he tries to take the Australasian Championship. Now to intensify the war, Law has added Japanese international wrestling star Dick Togo to the squad to continue his assault on Coles. Iron Ben has countered by replying with returning Detonation Crew tag partner Powerhouse Theo. The scene is set for a huge main event, with the balance of power in AWF at stake.

A huge undercard is also in store and will feature Great Aussie Rumble winner Concrete Davidson receiving a Commonwealth Championship shot against The Multicultural Society’s Tama Williams, and the 300 kg tandem of Mass Transit will challenge for the AWF Tag Team Championships against Party Trix.
Other wrestlers scheduled to appear include the arrogant and muscled “Mad Turk” Hussain, the imposing force of Blakestone, the highflying masked sensation El Technico plus many more wrestlers to be announced soon. There will also be DVD givaways of Fast & Furious 5 on the night and more surprises!

Card Line Up: 
Tag Team Main Event: Dick Togo (Japan) & Jay Law Vs Iron Ben Coles & Powerhouse Theo

We have an exclusive interview with AWF promoter and booker Greg Bownds. Please feel free to use it on your website.

1) Greg, what is your background?

GB: I began wrestling professionally in 1994, began promoting live events in 1997, and formed the Australasian Wrestling Federation in 1999. I am the promoter and booker for AWF to this day, and also wrestle as TNT and on occasion as Aussie Ozbone.

2) Can you give us some background on AWF?

GB: Since forming in 1999, AWF has run shows primarily in Australia, using the top wrestlers in the country, along with from time to time incorporating some of the best independents from around the world. Our website is atwww.awfwrestling.com.au  and will give fans a chance to see our wrestlers, results and latest happenings.

3) Why should people buy "Aussie Mania!" iPPV on www.WWNLive.com  on demand?

GB: People should buy "Aussie Mania!" to see a great show that showcases some of Australia's best and rising wrestling talents. It will be a good chance for fans internationally to see Australian wrestling possibly for the first time and get to know some of the top wrestlers in our country. 

4) How would you describe the style and influences of AWF?

GB: AWF is for the most part a hybrid of all major world styles, including US, Puro, Lucha, Brit, with an Australian take. Some of our wrestlers gimmicks are localised to reflect our region. We aim for our show to appeal to all age groups and to bring exciting in ring action in a fun environment.

5) What talent should new fans look out for and can you give a brief description of that talent?

GB: The current Australasian Champion is "Iron" Ben Coles. He is AWF's top fan favourite currently, and even has his own national TV advertisement playing here in Australia. He is youthful, well built, trained under the AWF and Lance Storm and is good talent. A member of "The Detonation Crew".

AWF's current Young Lion's Champion Jay Law is another great talent to look out for. Still in his early 20's he has 7 years of experience, and was trained by AWF, Jesse Hernandez and Dragon Gate Japan. Heads up the "Elite Wrestling" faction.

Tama Williams of New Zealand is another who has a bright future as he is young, fit and has great in ring presence. He currently heads up "The Multicultural Society" faction.

Blakestone is a tremendous physical specimen and is world class in his look and intensity in ring.

For fun Concrete Davidson is a standout. This 1920's strongman is sure to put a smile on anyone's face with his old school attitude and wrestling abilities.

6) Any final thoughts?

GB: In all AWF has something unique to offer, and we urge wrestling fans worldwide to check out our IPPV's at www.WWNLive.com  as they will provide a chance to see some good wrestling and new talent emanating from Australia. Ultimately, we hope to build a following of international fans and a carve a worldwide identity for Australian wrestling. Hope you can give it a go and join us for the fun ride!

JULY SHOW RESULTS


JULY JUSTICE!

Sat 23 July, 2011
AWF Dojo, Minto,
NSW

RESULTSAnubis pinned Shane Saw Powerhouse Theo pinned Samoan Warrior AWF Commonwealth Championship: Tama William pinned Spaceboy Dacey AWF Tag Team Championships:  Party Trix beat Elite Tag Team via DQ …  El Technico pinned Jack Tasman, Young Lions Champion Vs Australasian Champion: Jay Law beat Iron Ben Coles via DQ.

SHOW NOTES:

- The opening bout started with Anubis all over Shane Saw. After a big back body drop Shane Saw started to come back. Anubis then managed to keep the Victorian grounded and ma de a few chokes that referee Tony Kebab didn’t call a DQ. Anubis continued to dominate until Shane Saw got a big swinging neckbreaker. Shane Saw went to the top rope for a double axe handle but Anubis caught him and hit a big T-bone capture suplex and got the three count.

- In his second match back in the AWF Powerhouse Theo locked horns with the Samoan Warrior in what began as a battle of strength. After being dominated by Theo The Samoan Warrior escaped a powerbomb attempt and went outside the ring, he then gained the upper hand after he snapped Theo off the top rope. With the Reff distracted Diego Del Fuego, the ring announcer for the night, chocked Powerhouse with the bottom rope. The Samoan Warrior remained on top until Theo came back with some big forearm shots and a bulldog. The Samoan Warrior nearly had the pin after a counter into a back breaker. The pair then went slam for slam first Theo hit the Samoan with a huge spinbuster for a two count, then The Samoan Warrior hit a huge Samoan drop with the same result. Theo then got the Samoan on his back with a double leg takedown with a rollover pin. After the match Selene interviewed the Victor who let the fans no he and the rest of the Detonation Crew were just getting started.

- The Commonwealth title match started with Tama struggling to take the bigger man down. Spaceboy continued to drop the champion with clotheslines and shoulder tackles. Tama reversed a neckbreaker then followed up with a scoop slam for a two count. The New Zealander continued to attack and taunt the challenger. With the crowd behind him Dacey began to fight back but was stopped by a picture perfect dropkick. Tama managed to keep the big man down until Spaceboy hit a huge German Suplex. Tama was lucky to escape a powerslam attempt and hit a superkick a big kick to the back. Both men landing big slams followed by two counts seemed to frustrate the combatants. It took a chair shot from The Samoan Warrior to keep Spaceboy down but after an Air New Zealand Splash Tama finally picked up the win and retained the Commonwealth championship. The Island Tribe then began to beat down the fallen Spaceboy, but luckily El Technico came to Dacey aide which led to TNT announcing a tag match for the next show at the AWF Dojo.

- Before the Tag Team Championship match could begin, the newly formed tag team Mass Transit, Traffic and Massive Q came to stake the claim for their Tag Title match at Psychotic Slam next month.

The match then began with The Illusionist out maneuvering Greatness Grant Lindstrom. Party Trix then double teamed the challangers forcing them to regroup outside the ring. Once Falco and DJ Fusion tagged in Elite had the upper hand. Party Trix again double teamed and took control of the match. Falco then distracted the reff to allow Lindstrom to attack The Illusionist from behind. Elite remained on top until The Illusionist counter a badly time Clothesline Leg Sweep combo and tagged in his partner. Elite couldn’t get their hands on DJ Fusion who continued to out wrestle the pair. Elite then tackled both champions and had them in painful submissions but Party Trix crawled to the ropes. Party Trix hit the finisher and were about to win the match when Mass Transit entered the ring and layed waste to the tag champs as Elite high-tailed it out of the Dojo. When DJ Fusion managed to chase Q and Traffic from the ring with a chair, Party Trix got on the mic and warned the big men that they wouldn’t go down without a fight at Psychotic Slam.

- The Grudge match of the night began by El Technico attacking Jack Tasman before the bell had rung. Tasman couldn’t seem to find his bearings until he throw the high flyer into the ring post outside the ring. The Bad Apple of the AWF then continued to beat down the Mexican and was nearly disqualified for a four count from a choke on the ropes. El Technico began to fight back with Clotheslines and a Hurrincanranna. El Technico attempted a top rope Hurricanranna only to fall from the top rope face first. The battle then went back and forth until Tasman counter a top rope dive into a Powerbomb but only got a two count. El Technico countered a DDT into a roll up pin and won the match.

- The Main Event for July Justice was a Champion v Champion match that saw the Young Lions Champion Jay Law take on the AWF Heavyweight Champion Iron Ben Coles. When the match got under way both men seemed to be at a standoff going move for move, counter for counter. The match continued back and forth until Jay Law distracted the reff and Falco choked Ben Coles on the turnbuckle. Jay Law landed a picture perfect Capture Suplex that left the AWF champion lying on the mat. Ben Coles the managed to escape a Powerbomb attempt but fell victim to a vicious Sleeper Hold. Even with an interference from Falco Ben Coles managed to escape the sleeper and began to dominate his fellow champion. Jay Law went to attack Ben Coles with a metal water bottle but Coles took the bottle and hit the Young Lions Champion and was disqualified. When Elite Wrestling began to beat down Iron Ben Coles, Powerhouse Theo came to the rescue running off Elite Wrestling. TNT entered the ring and the main event of Coles and Theo Vs Falco and Linstrom was made for the next AWF Dojo card on 20 August .
Now with two tag team matches scheduled for next month, Faclo and Linstrom v Coles and Theo at the next Dojo show and Jay Law and International Superstar Dick Togo v Coles and Theo at Psychotic Slam the Detonation Crew have their work cut out for them.
