#RCR16: Timothy Thatcher v. Drew Gulak – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
In an unprecedented SPECIAL ATTRACITON match, Timothy Thatcher will square off against his long-time (and current) tag team partner, Drew Gulak.

BACKGROUND

  • Thatcher & Gulak have been one of CWFH’s most successful tag teams of all time.
  • Both have launched successful singles careers; however, their bond remains strong.
  • The chance to test their mettle against one another seemed like a special treat

 

WHAT’S AT STAKE

  • Bragging Rights. The only thing that Thatcher and Gulak care about more than each other is wrestling itself. Their brotherly relationship will likely survive this legendary encounter, but whomever wins probably will get first dibs on riding shotgun as their travels continue.

 

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

  • A Show – Just because they don’t hate each other doesn’t mean they won’t wrestle each other with every ounce of energy they have. These are two of the premier cruiserweights in the world and they know each others’ styles inside and out. The stage is set for an epic display of talent and one-upsmanship.
  • THAT Moment – With all that said, if one punch lands too low or if one ego proves softer than the other, these are the moments where bonds once thought unbreakable come apart. We’ve seen families crumble inside the ring before, Thatcher and Gulak will face the same risks.

COASTLINE CLASH ’16: Avalon v Darevko for the Hollywood Heritage Championship

Hollywood Heritage Championship Match
“Pretty” Peter Avalon (c) vs. Sasha Darevko (special guest ref Scorpio Sky)

Sasha Darevko wanted the champion’s attention, so he snuck up from behind and bludgeoned him with a chain. Then the Russian wanted Peter Avalon’s belt, so he snuck off, stole it and ran off.

When Darevko and the belt resurfaced, both were under the protection of an imposing bodyguard, whose name we’ve never learned. But Darevko and his stone-faced associate have proven to be too much for Avalon at seemingly every turn. And they’re still in possession of the Hollywood Heritage Championship – despite never having won it!

Darevko and his un-named associate have each taken turns guarding their ill-gotten gold.
Darevko and his un-named associate have each taken turns guarding their ill-gotten gold.

Now, Avalon is faced with the grim conclusion that he’s stepping into the ring against an opponent he hasn’t been able to defeat in weeks. If he can’t win, PPA won’t have to worry about that belt anymore – it won’t be his anyway.

Darevko’s underhanded tactics have involved bullying to such a severe degree that senior CWFH official Nick Bonnano has refused to sanction an official for their encounter. Thankfully, one won’t be needed as Nicolas Marquez has brought former champion Scorpio Sky back to Hollywood to serve as Special Guest Referee!

Will Sky be impartial? Can PPA reclaim what is rightfully his? Or will the gold and the glory follow Darevko back to Moscow?

For more on this feud, see this article from HollywoodWrestling.com!

Watch below: Avalon attempts to reclaim his title belt, but runs afoul of Darevko and his associate.

Sasha Darevko once again left with "Pretty" Peter Avalon's Hollywood Heritage Title at the conclusion of last week's episode of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood!If you missed it, catch up online at www.patreon.com/UnitedWrestling!

COASTLINE CLASH ’16: Television Champ, James Morgan Issues An Open Challenge

Television Championship Match
“Main Event” James Morgan (c) issues an OPEN Challenge

It had been a great few months for James Morgan. His victory in the Summer Classic brought him pride – for winning the tournament. It brought him fortune – in the form of a $10,000 check. And it brought him gold – in the form of the Television Championship.

JAMES MORGAN
James “Main Event” Morgan will be all alone – with no idea who is walking through that curtain.

Morgan quickly established himself as a fighting champion and, for months, he’s been besting all comers and retaining his gold. But, a few weeks ago, Morgan’s winning streak seemingly came to an end when he lost something very important – his manager and ally, Stu Stone. Stone was brutally assaulted by The Cirque du Monsters (Bateman and Jarek 1:20). His injuries are reportedly serious enough that he is never expected to return to CWFH – literally bludgeoned into an early retirement.

Undaunted, Morgan announced just days before Coastline Clash that he would walk into Port Hueneme and face any comer – issuing an open challenge. With his manger no longer by his side, and the advantage of preparation forfeited, is Morgan lowering his guard too far?

Previous Open Door challengers in CWFH have included Samoa Joe, Bryan Myers, X-Pac & AJ Styles. Be there live to see who answers the challenge!

COASTLINE CLASH ’16: Tag Team Champions Cold Cold World vs. The Friendship Express

Tag Team Championship Match
Cold Cold World (c) vs. The Friendship Express


Week after week poor Jervis Cottonbelly searched for a partner who he could trust. And week after week poor Jervis Cottonbelly was left abandoned, outnumbered and frightfully incapable of clinching a tag team victory.

JERVIS COTTONBELLY
Jervis’ Tag Team partner search was, for weeks, a fruitless endeavor…

But then Hobo rode the rails back into CWFH and became Jervis’ partner on the newly-christened “Friendship Express”! Since that day the Boxcar Superstar and the purveyor of “Gentlemania” have collected impressive victories over Vermin and The Classic Connection which have moved them into the Number One Contenders spot.

HOBO
..until Hobo returned to CWFH to form “The Friendship Express” with Jervis…

But that train puts them on a collision course with the Ice Age of the seemingly-unstoppable Cold Cold World and their manager, Caesar. Jervis and Hobo are definitely friends, but are they a strong enough team to overcome Will Rood & Damien Grundy? Or will The Friendship Express be just another team that can’t survive 30 Below? Find out at Coastline Clash!

COLD COLD WORLD w/ Caesar
Now they must face the champions, Cold Cold World.

COASTLINE CLASH ’16: Team CWFH vs. Team Vermin (5-on-5)

Team CWFH (JR Kratos, RENO Scum and Timothy Thatcher & Drew Gulak)
vs.
Team Vermin (Johnny Yuma, Bad Dude Tito, Ryan Taylor, Kevin Martenson and Joey Ryan)


“Vermin Running Rampant and Causing Trouble in CWFH” is not really the earth-shattering headline it may have been two years ago, but that only underscores how long the faction has stood strong.

The aptly-named faction continues to infest CWFH despite the best efforts of both the Marquez family and their loyal roster. When their leader Johnny Yuma was knocked out with injury, a newly-intensified Bad Dude Tito immediately returned to their ranks to lead a vicious battle against CWFH and immediately drawing the attention of JR Kratos.

JR KRATOS
JR Kratos has been on a Vermin hunt, specifically targeting Bad Dude Tito

Tito used typical Vermin strength-in-numbers tactics to torment the War Machine for weeks before finally agreeing to step into the ring with Kratos. A thrilling main event between the two was interrupted by the shocking return of Johnny Yuma, who immediately attacked Kratos with a lead pipe.

YUMA
Yuma, Vermin’s leader, has returned. Will his resurgence lead Vermin to rise…or scatter?

So shocking was Yuma’s return, that it seemed to catch Tito, himself, off guard – as the Bad Dude seemed to feel he had the War Machine beaten on his own. Yuma insists, though, that Vermin is stronger than ever. It’s hard to argue with him when you consider that Yuma, Tito, Ryan Tayor, Kevin Martenson and Joey Ryan will all be in action for Team Vermin.

 

But the argument across the ring is equally as strong. JR Kratos takes up the mantle of Team Captain for Team CWFH and he’s drafted RENO SCUM and the newly-returned team of Timothy Thatcher & Drew Gulak to his team. The battles between Tito/Kratos and Vermin/CWFH (and possibly even Tito/Yuma) all spill into an all-out war at Coastline Clash!

COASTLINE CLASH ’16: Big Duke vs. Eli Drake; 2-Out-of-3 Falls

Two-Out-of-Three Falls Match
Eli Drake vs. Big Duke

What happens when two equally  big, angry, proud and tough wrestlers can’t seem to gain a decided advantage over one another? You put them in a match as big as their feud.

For months, dating back to the Percy Pringle III Memorial Cup, Big Duke and Eli Drake have been trading blink-and-you-missed-it pinfall victories with one another. Just when it seems like Drake has dispelled Big Duke, Duke comes roaring back. And just when it seems like Duke has finally claimed the decisive advantage, he finds himself on his back reading from the Book of Eli. No match seemed to decide a victor in this rivalry.

BIG DUKE
Will Big Duke have enough to close “The Book of Eli?”

When matches can’t decide a winner, a series is necessary. After weeks of standing on a dime and trading victories, at Coastline Clash one man will walk away the decisive and unchallenged winner.

JERVIS COTTONBELLY

Why Can Not We Be friends?

‘Gentlemania’ has treaded lightly into Vermin’s path – Will anyone help Jervis Cottonbelly?

Jervis Cottonbelly has been treading lightly (and accidentally) into Vermin’s unholy path since joining the roster of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.

Jervis debuted on what, arguably, was the biggest day in Vermin’s history – the day they captured all of the gold in CWFH. It was a day when all eyes should have been on Vermin, yet a fair amount of that attention was stolen away by the debut of one of the more unique wrestlers in the history of the industry…and you don’t steal from Vermin.

Soon after his debut, Jervis was taken under the collective wings of both “Pretty” Peter Avalon (PPA) and Hobo. The two trained him to be more ‘fierce’ in his in-ring battles. Problem was both PPA and the Boxcar Superstar were sworn and bitter enemies of Vermin…and you don’t become friends with Vermin’s enemies.

It wasn’t long before Mr. Cottonbelly found himself scheduled for a pair of singles matches with members of Vermin. Though Cottonbelly came up just short in both contests, he very nearly won both. Lapses-in-judgment by Jervis allowed victory to slip away on both occasions. The victories would be described as ‘embarrassing wins’ for the members of Vermin…and you don’t embarrass Vermin.

In a show of friendship, Jervis agreed to tag team with his friend PPA in a battle against Vermin. After the match concluded, Vermin attempted to exact revenge on PPA for knocking out their leader Yuma, but Jervis stayed to protect his friend. This backed Vermin even further into a corner…and you don’t corner Vermin.

 

Watch Hollywood Heritage Champion "Pretty" Peter Avalon team up with Jervis Cottonbelly to take on Joey Ryan & Kevin Martenson of Vermin from last week's episode of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood at http://smarturl.it/CWFHTune-in to an all new episode this Saturday at 4PM on KDOCTV Los Angeles and 9PM on Youtoo America!

Posted by Championship Wrestling from Hollywood on Thursday, October 1, 2015

 

Jervis’ accidental feud with Vermin caught the attention of Vermin’s most-hated rivals of all – the owners of CWFH, the Marquez family. Nikko Marquez designated Cottonbelly as the leader of the anti-Vermin offensive and Cottonbelly set out to find compatriots in his struggles.

Cottonbelly started with a strong team – pairing with Los Primos Rivera and JR Kratos against the full ranks of Vermin (Joey Ryan, Ryan Taylor, Kevin Martenson and Bad Dude Tito). But, things quickly fell apart.

12747376_993866577372853_1831317077292248453_o

Kratos’ and Tito’s hatred for one another caused them to brawl into the locker room before the match could conclude. Vermin then isolated and decimated Danny Rivera. Rivera and his cousin quickly realized they had little to gain by feuding with Vermin, so they abandoned Cottonbelly. Ever the competitor, Jervis stayed to fight with Vermin and lost badly…because you don’t fight Vermin alone.

Undaunted, Cottonbelly again scoured the locker room for assistance. Yet again, it seemed like he had found it. He and his new partner, Douglas James appeared to be firing on all cylinders as their new team faced the same Los Primos Rivera that had abandoned Jervis a week prior. In the closing seconds of that match, with victory seemingly in-hand, a cell phone call drew James away from ring and Jervis was left alone again. And Jervis lost. Again.

The battles, the disappointments, the abandonment…the Vermin…it all has to be taking a toll on Jervis Cottonbelly. He must know that Gentlemania alone will not be enough to exterminate Vermin. As such, Jervis has promised to journey beyond the locker room walls, to scour the seas, to search the air, to ride the rails and to walk the highways until he can find a partner in his most-good of fights.

Will Jervis Cottonbelly ever find a partner he can count on? Or will this be the end of ‘Gentlemania’ as we know it?
