News and Rumors
For all of the fans that follow us i would like to let you know that for all of the News and Rumors that happened before can be located at this address http://www.geocities.com/totalnonstopwrestling/TNWNewsandRumors.html thanks.
October 12, 2007: TNW Fusion 2007 has been uploaded to the TNW Youtube Account. Click on the link in the navi to see the last show in TNW History
October 5, 2007: The last ever TNW show is almost fully edited. For months, this show sat in the hard drives of TNW's Production Department just waiting to be edited. Months after the fall of TNW, I have decided to edit the show and upload it for all of you fans to see. Note that this show was done just before TNW ended and it was done as we thought the season would still continue. But it serves as a good closure to one of the greatest feds of all time. For more information on the show, go to Hype Central and see how the show came about. Discussions on a reuion are inconclusive at this time but ideas of a brand new fed, headed by TNW's King Alan, are going on. Right now, that is just a rumor so take that with a grain of salt. Psycho Originals is still going strong with his latest installment, TNW Lockdown staring all 5 of the masked wrestlers from TNW. The show is a cross between wrestling and Big Brother so you may get a kick out of that. That is all for now folks. TNW's last show, TNW Fusion 2007, should be uploaded in the coming weeks (next month at the latest). Thanks for reading this fans, Take Care.
July 26, 2007: XRW ended and talks have begun to bring TNW back. No real progress has been made at this time but talks have started. We will keep you all informed if TNW does reunite and re-become the once great fed it once was.June 05, 2007: As you fans are already aware from reading the homepage, TNW has ended. This site will remain on the internet as a tribute to the fallen fed and as a guide to feds that are just starting out. Psycho Productions will stay in operation as they are planning on beginning production on "The Phantom Killer" later on in the summer. A new federation has risen from TNW's ashes and it's called XRW (Xtreme Revolution Wrestling). Some TNW favorites have gone over to that new fed. We thank you all for watching TNW for these past four seasons and we hope you all will continue coming to this site and we also hope you will support the XRW. Thanks and Take Care.
May 09, 2007: A few shakeups and additions have been made to the TNW Roster. Hawt Dawg has decided to part ways with TNW in order to pursue his other endeavors. We wish him luck for the future and the door is open for him to return because he was one of the best cameramen we ever had. But the big story is that Gravedigger is now on the active roster. Gravedigger returned back at Ressurection 2007 and was unable to defeat Alan and end his era, due to the interference of Devilsigh. Gravedigger's era was supposed to come to an end with his defeat but he is remaining on the roster for one purpose, the decimation of Devilsigh. These two are gearing up for a war and this situation could explode at any minute. We will keep you fans posted on any further developments between the two. Now then, a new Tag Team has entered TNW and they are team NBX (New Brood Extreme). More information regarding NBX and the other additions to the TNW Roster, such as Phantom, will be posted in the near future. Thanks for reading this fans and keep it locked on this section. Your only reliable news source for all things TNW. Take Care.
May 05, 2007: Ressurection is complete and the downloadable version has made to archive. Go to the videos page and click on the link to download. The Production Department is now currently working on a Youtube version which very well could be featured on the vids page of the Global Backyard Wrestling News Website. That will help TNW gain more exposure. The Production Department is also hard at work on other projects as well. For instance, production on the Best of TNW 3: Don't Try This at Home, Even Though We Do, has started and it should be out either by the end of this season or early next season. New additions are also being made to the TNW Roster such as a new tag team and a few other roster members as well. More details on these new additions will be uncovered in the weeks to come. Thanks for reading this fans and we hope you enjoy Season 4. TNW is doing everything it can to make this season the best season ever. And if you think Ressurection was awesome then wait for the next installment of TNW Fusion and be sure to check out our next supercard, Terminal Velocity 2007. Thanks and Take Care.
April 18, 2007: Ressurection has come and gone folks and the results for TNW's first show of Season 4 are:
Phantom victorious in his Debut Match
Catastrophe defeated Psycho to win the Contender Spot to the Hardcore Title
Masked Maniac defeated Climax for the Contender Spot to the World Title
and Devilsigh retained the title as the match went to a draw
As for the Main Event, Alan vs. Gravedigger, it's too much of a big match to ruin. You fans would probably rather see the match unfold without the outcome being spoiled. But don't threat cause that match and all of Ressurection will make its way to the internet soon. Now, the match card for Terminal Velocity is being thought up and it will be announced on the "hype Central" page once it has been fully decided. Thanks for reading this fans and keep your eye on TNW's YouTube page for Ressurection will be up soon. Take Care.
March 14, 2007: I just received word that in order to make the DVD work better on your DVD player then you'll need to change the resolution from 4:3 to 16:9. If you do this then the DVD should work better. If anybody encounters problems with their copy then email Gravedigger and he'll be happy to solve your problem. There is a new page on the site called "Hype Central." This page gives all the hypes and information needed for each and every supercard, starting with this year's Ressurection. Go to that page now and get ready because Ressurection is around the corner. Take Care.
March 6, 2007: Attention TNW fans, The Best of TNW 2 Bigger, Longer and Harder has been released. If you are expecting a copy then you will be receiving your copy soon. If you haven't placed an order yet then what are you waiting for?! For more information on how to purchase this DVD and to find out more about what is on it, go to the Tapes for Sale page now.
February 15, 2007: The Best of TNW 2 Bigger, Longer & Harder has now been given a public release date of March, 1st 2007. For further details on this impressive DVD and information on how you can purchase it, please visit the Tapes for Sale Page now. Also, I've just been informed by TNW Management that there will be a few changes in the production department for this coming season. For you see fans, TNW now has a second video camera. This allows us to produce videos with multiple camera angles. TNW is also planing to produce music videos, promos, interviews and what not in order to increase the production quality of our shows and to make them look more professional. TNW also has added another commentator to the commentators' table. This allows us to have two commentators to do the shows. Two cameras producing multiple camera angles, an overhaul of the production quality and a tag team of commentators, I can not wait for this season to begin and I don't think you can either. Keep it locked on this section folks because it is your only reliable news source for all things TNW!

Masked Maniac vs. Climax (For the #1 Contender Spot to the World Title)
Devilsigh vs. Cateclysm (First Ever 15 Minute Ultimate Hardcore Match for the Hardcore Title)

Witness the long awaited debut of Phantom, witness Cateclysm and Devilsigh take eachother to hell and back as they wage war for the Hardcore Title and witness Gravedigger's return since his year long hiatus as he and Alan finally settle the score. This event is certainly not one to miss. Be sure to download Ressurection when it goes down and be sure to keep it locked on here for further details as we head into Season Four. Thank you.
January 13, 2007: Greetings once again from The Official Home of Backyard Wrestling Excellence. The two newest members of the TNW Roster, Climax and Hawt Dawg, have been added to the TNW Roster Page. Now on to the polls. Gravedigger did retire and leave TNW but he told me that if he wins in the World Title Poll for this year's Ressurection then he will come back to finish his greatest rival, Alan. If Gravedigger does become World Champion then he will stick around until he looses the title. But, Alan is more determine than ever to retain his World Championship and his title as King of TNW. I spoked to Alan before and he sounded ready to put the Gravedigger away once and for all. Cateclysm, thus far, is leading in the poll for the shot at the Hardcore Title against Devilsigh. Whoever wins this poll will go one to face Devilsigh in the first ever Ultimate Hardcore Match. The rules are simple. The match will be a hardcore match but it will be fought under Ironman Rules. The participant who gains the most victories in 15 minutes will win. The polls will remain open until mid to late February so go to the Poll Page and vote now. Oh and one final thing, we have a new Roster Member and his name is Phantom. You may remember him from his creepy Guestbook posts that were directed to Devilsigh a while back. Well, Phantom has finally made it into the TNW Roster and he will be added to the Roster Page shortly. Keep it locked on TNW Wrestling.com for things can only get more wicked from here.
January 11 2007: You fans may notice that a few things have changed on this site since Monday's headline. For starters, the new layout looks better than the old one did. There are new videos up on the Videos section. Actually, the videos are not new. They are videos that contain classic TNW footage that have now been added back to the site. Check out the new TNW Roster page. I've put a lot of work into making the page fit the TNW attitude. The polls will be moved from the TNW Forum over to the TNW Poll Page because of the lack of voting on the Forum. The polls on the Forum were supposed to encourage people to sign up but the votes have remained unchanged. The votes on the Devilsigh Poll will still go into the poll on the Poll Page. Thank you for reading this and keep it locked on TNW Wrestling.com. The Official Home of Backyard Wrestling Excellence.
January 08, 2007: A lot has happened since the last time this section was updated. For starters, TNW had one of the best (if not the very best) event ever in Hotter Than Hell 2006. At the event, Alan was able to successfully defend his World Title against Climax and Devilsigh won his first ever Hardcore Title by defeating then champion Cateclysm in a Thumbtack Match. The event was so long and so hardcore that it is almost impossible to upload. But I do have good news. The very best footage of that crutail event in TNW History will be featured on The Best of TNW 2: Bigger, Longer & Harder which is due out in the near future. The DVD is filled with Incredible Matches, Amazing Music Videos and Hilarious Skits from our resident crazy person Psycho. Pre-order your copy by emailing Gravedigger today.
Our next event is the first event of the season, Ressurection 2007. Tensions are ridding high in the locker room at this time as the wrestlers are eagerly awaiting the final match card for the event. But, there is a slight change in formalities this time around. For you see fans, the people who will be deciding the matches is YOU! Yes, for the first time in TNW History, Ressurection's match card will be decided by the fans. Polls will be added to the TNW Forum by the end of the week. Decide what match types you want to see and who should face Alan and Devilsigh for their respective titles. Keep it locked on this section, your only reliable news source for all things TNW!
May 30, 2006: Ok, new match card for the Ressurection PPV, which is in a little over 8 days! People in TNW are working their asses off preparing for this show, hopefully it will all turn out as intended. So, what are the new matches, here they are:
Psycho vs. Hawt Dawg
Gravedigger vs. Catastrophe (pink slip match, loser leaves TNW)
Devilsigh vs. Cateclysm
Masked Maniac vs. Alan (Hardcore Match)
May 2, 2006: Finally! Winter has come and gone, spring is here, and everybody knows what that means right? TNW! That's right, Ressurection is right around the corner. Here is the current list of matches that will be happening, i know you guys don't know a lot of these guys, but you will soon enough:
North Side (Psycho & Hawt Dawg) vs. The Rolling Brothers
(Cateclysm or Phantom) vs. Devilsigh (Hardcore Match)
Shellshock vs. Aris vs. Catastrophe
Masked Maniac vs. Alan Stober (TLC Jailbreak Match)
It will definently be a night to remember. Until next time, take care.
March 8, 2006: Many of you may have noticed the Highspots link on the home page now. The reason for that is TNW has officially become an affiliate with Highspots, what this means is that if you were to make a purchase at Highspots after using the link to get to there, TNW gets 10% commission, another great way of helping TNW while helping yourself! Ressurection is shaping up to be a hell of an event. It will be our first show ever with our new wrestling ring, yes an actual wrestling ring from, where else, Highspots! It may also be the last event ever performed at the current TNW arena, as after that event we plan to be performing at the YMCA. So far we only have the main event planned, Alan Stober vs. Masked Maniac in a TLC match! Wow, what a match that will be. Don't worry, i have been keeping track of the polls, whatever is voted for will be the match at Terminal Velocity. Also at Ressurection there will be the debut of not one, not two, but five new TNW wrestlers. We have nearly doubled our roster from last season, i hope that all of you stick with us, Ressurection is right around the corner. Until next time, take care.
February 9, 2006: The 3rd and final match has been announced for the mini-PPV. It will be Masked Maniac vs. Alan Stober in a chain match. I remember back in Hardcore Haven 2005 the Gravedigger/Alan Stober chain match, it was definently one to remember. I'm sure Alan won't fail to deliver another breathtaking performance at our mini-PPV. We are having a hell of a time trying to come up with the funds for the ring, turns out the bank made a "tini miscalculation" turns out that instead of having enough for the ring, we are still $700 short. So we would really appreciate any t-shirt sales and DVD purchases you would be willing to make. We could really use the cash, every little bit helps. Until next time, take care.
January 21, 2006: I'm excited to announce the completion of the Best of TNW overhaul. The Best of TNW now includes 3 discs, you can see the details by heading over to the "tapes for sale" page. Until next time, take care.
January 11, 2006: I'm deeply saddened to announce the death of our TNW camera, its death will always be remember because it also destroyed the Hotter Than Hell tape. This means that Hotter Than Hell will never be able to be seen on DVD again, luckily it is on www.archive.org for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for your understanding. Attention TNW fans/supporters, TNW needs your help in funding the purchases for next season, which include a ring, a cage, and a camera. Purchase merchandise, purchase DVDs, make donations, it would be much appreciated and you would feel proud knowing you helped take TNW to the next level. The Best of TNW is getting an overhaul, it will now be extended into a 2 (possibly 3) disc set. It will include TNWs greatest matches and moments. I will tell everyone when that is ready. A new match has been included in the mini-PPV, Aris vs. Catastrophe in a ladder match. We have had some problems in the past with Aris not showing up to matches, if that is the case the match will be simply scratched off the card and no match will take its place. Until next time, take care.
December 27, 2005: One match has been officially assigned to the mini-PPV; Cateclysm vs. Gravedigger in a table match. This should be a very good match, you guys picked it! Go to the Poll page and vote for match #2.
December 16, 2005: Still months away from Ressurection and already it's shaping up to be the biggest event in TNW history. EHD; a local band is set to open for the show. As for the match card, nothing has been set so far, except the Masked Maniac/Alan Stober championship match. Hopefully it will be a best 2 out of 3 tables match, I, for one, would love to see that match. These two competitors can really duke it out, and with a ladder and three tables around the ring, who knows what would happen. I will have more info on the band EHD and the happenings of TNW during the winter months. Until next time, take care.
December 1, 2005: A new PPV in the TNW schedule? Yes, that's correct, the entire TNW roster voted on the idea and we will be bringing you a mini-PPV in between Ressurection and Terminal Velocity. What makes this so unique? It's unique because we are going to be the first BYW federation to give our fans complete control over the match card for that PPV. It will be a BYW version of Taboo Tuesday. Go over into the polls and vote for the lineup. You will only be able to vote on one match right now, then after two to three weeks that poll will be taken down and Match #2 polls will be put up. The reason we are doing it that way is to stop wrestlers from having more than one match on the card, and to eliminate reoccuring match types. Until next time, take care.
November 21, 2005: Well....its been a while. Not a whole lot has been happening in the TNW off-season. Basically whats been going is, for the first month after the season ended, everybody in TNW took a break from anything to do with TNW. We felt this would keep us from getting sick of working on TNW constantly. Now we are back and ready to start planning for the 3rd season. As for a winter side-project, we plan on doing a Psycho movie called "Around the County in 80 Days." This movie will have absolutely nothing to do with TNW, but we will more than likely put a TNW music video in the extras. Right now we have only been working on the script for the movie, it's coming along very nicely. I would expect to start filming the movie in March, and the movie will be released in May. That's about all I have for you guys at the moment, I will keep you guys posted. Also go to the Poll page and vote on your favorite wrestler and what type of match Masked Maniac's first title defense will be. Until next time, take care.
September 4, 2005: Sorry I didn't update about Summerfest yet. I have been pretty busy with the start of school and everything. The event was without a doubt one of the best in the history of TNW. The Hardcore Hell match was very very brutal. We're talking ladders, chairs, chain, signs, dowels. Psycho gave Alan an amazing shot with a chair but was to retarded to escape the cage. Psycho instead brought a ladder into the ring. Alan got the upper hand and Angle-Slammed Psycho on the ladder! Psycho hit alan with a 2x4 and Alan got broke open. It started raining at that point only adding to the chaos of the match. Alan ended up winning however after slipping through the springs on the trampoline and is now the first ever TNW Hardcore Champion. Gravedigger vs. Catastrophe was a very short match. Gravedigger absolutely slaughtered him. However the camera ran out of film at this point. The final match was Masked Maniac vs. Cateclysm. I have to say it was an excellant match by these two individuals. It took 3 sharpshooters and over 15 minutes of wearing the champion down to finally make him tap out! Masked Maniac indured over 3 powerbombs in that match and a pedigree. They were both worn out, Cateclysm came back out to the ring and beat the new champion down. Saying "No one takes my belt" The show then ended and so has another great TNW season. I will keep you guys posted on the happenings of TNW in the off-season. Maybe a winter side-project? Who knows? Until next time, take care.
August 26, 2005: Last nights edisode of Mayhem was an awesome event. The event started out with a Psycho vs. Catastrophe match for the chance to face Alan Stober in the first ever Hardcore Hell match. It was a short match, it ended with Psycho giving Catastrophe the sharpshooter. It took a full minute but finally Catastrophe gave into the pain. This was the first time that he has ever submitted. The Masked Maniac vs. Cateclysm match was bloody. After a kick to the face Cateclysm started bleeding all over the tramp. Two powerbombs and a pedigree later though and Cateclysm won. After the match Cateclysm grabbed the microphone and anounced that he did not have a match yet on the Summerfest card, and thought Masked Maniac would fill that space perfectly. The final match of the night was the Gravedigger/Alan Stober match. There is so much tension between these two wrestlers, we are lucky both of these men are still able to walk today. Gravedigger pulled out all the weapons in this match, he continued to beat the hell out of Alan, he finally went for the pin then the shocker happened. Members from the audience actually took the weapons and threw them back in the ring. Alan used this to his advantage and fought back. The match continued to the outside where a DDT to the ground was delivered from Alan to Gravedigger. Alan then grabbed Gravedigger and threw him into the entrance way, which consisted of two ladders, chain, and a tarp. The entire entrance was completely destroyed. Gravedigger still had enough left to give Alan the tombstone, but couldnt hold him down for the pin. Alan gave Gravedigger the K.O. and the match was over. This was definently a match to be remembered. Come back soon for more information on the release of the Best of TNW DVD and the Summerfest PPV. Until next time, take care.
August 23, 2005: Wow, have we got the perfect match card for Wednesday Night Mayhem or what? First match is Psycho vs. Catastrophe, the winner of this match goes on and faces Alan Stober in the first ever hardcore championship match. Next up is Masked Maniac vs. Cateclysm, this is going to be an interesting battle as high flying and power collide. For the main event it is Gravedigger vs. Alan Stober, these two TNW superstars have such a long history. Alan took Gravedigger's title from him at last Summerfest after he buried him alive! I know that neither one of these men are goign to back down from one another. Until next time, take care.
August 17, 2005: The Great Scandinavian Bash was a complete success! Easily one of the top five best shows TNW has ever put on. The show started out with a big thank you from TNW to our Scandinavian fans, we really appreciate it guys. Then the matches got underway, Masked Maniac vs. Alan Stober, Masked Maniac was not getting along good with the crowd today. He got booed whenever he did a move. Alan pulled out a 2x4 wrapped in wire, he then beat Masked Maniac with it, that pretty much summed up that match. Next was Psycho vs. a mystery opponent. The mystery opponent turned out to be an 8 year old girl. One hit and the match was over. Next was a suprise match, it was made at the last second, Aris vs. Catastrophe neither were scheduled to appear tonight. I have to say, it was great technical wrestling, Aris also showed the fans some powerful moves, and ended up winning the match after about 8 or 9 minutes. Last but definently not least was Gravedigger vs. Cateclysm. about 4 more fans came in when this match started. It was one hell of a match, a lot of nice technical wrestling. Once the match got going it was a lot of fast paced action. We would like to once again thank our Scandinavian fans, we really appreciate your support. Also I would like to welcome Matt Ellwanger to the TNW team. Also a reminder to all TNW wrestlers. The rest of the seasons shows will be held on Wednesdays instead of the regular Sundays. Until next time, take care.
August 10, 2005: This Sunday August 14th 2005 will not be your average Sunday Night Mayhem show. This show is going to be The Great Scandinavian Bash to show our graditude to all of our Scandinavian fans. The banner contest is now over. The winner is displayed on the homepage. On behalf of TNW I would like to thank all of the people that contributed your designs to us. It was very hard to choose a winner. The winner of the banner contest will get his banner featured on the cover of the TNW Season 1 & 2, which will be shipped to the winner as soon as it is complete. The Best of TNW DVD is also coming along nicely, and will be awarded to the banner contest winner as soon as it is all edited. The VHS tapes and the DVD will be available to everyone later next month. No prizes will be given to second or third place. TNW funds are tight right now and we have to watch every penny we can. Thanks for your understanding in the situation. A reminder to everyone to join the fantasy league. Until next time, take care.
August 5, 2005: Do to things beyond our control, there will be no Saturday show this week. Next week you can look forward to the regular TNW scheduling. Thanks for your understanding. Until next time, take care.
July 29, 2005: TNW will not be hosting Sunday Night Mayhem this week. Some difficulties arose and it is impossible to hold the show this week. However next Saturday will be a show. The card has not been decided as of yet. Even though we are still a month away from Summerfest, things are starting to get really exciting around here. At Summerfest the TNW Hardcore Championship will be unvealed, but that match will have way more at stake than just the title. If Psycho wins Alan has to quit the TNW forever. If Alan wins Psycho has to be his slave for a month. Also the #1 contender match between Gravedigger & Catastrophe will take place. When I learn more about TNW's upcoming events i will post more. Until next time, take care.
July 25, 2005: The first ever Sunday Night Mayhem was a decent show. We had some difficulties with some people not showing up, but other than that things ran pretty smoothly. I don't understand what all the fighting is about in the guestbook. Backyard wrestling is backyard wrestling. Backyard wrestling by definition is the wrestling of anywhere besides on an actual wrestling ring, this could includ pads, trampolines, ground, or matresses. Until next time, take care.
July 22, 2005: I have recently learned the card for Sunday Night from the TNW booking department. The card will feature Catastrophe in two matches! Catastrophe himself requested it be that way because he wants to climb up the TNW rankings. Psycho, will not be on the card this week as he got injured at Hotter Than Hell, for those of you that order Hotter Than Hell you can see how. The first match of the night will be Catastrophe vs. Masked Maniac. I don't know about our fans at home, but at his debut at Hotter Than Hell, he impressed me a lot, I think this man has great potential in TNW. The second match will be Catastrophe vs. Alan Stober, this match is very important as the winner of this match will go and face Gravedigger the Sunday after this, for the #1 contendership. Psycho will be guest commentating the Catastrophe/Alan match. The main event of the evening will be Gravedigger vs. Cateclysm in a non-title match. The biggest question of the night is going to be, can Catastrophe finally rise out of the lower card rankings? I know he is a great technical wrestler, but throughout his career he has been plagued by storylines that have gotten him nowhere, he has lost some of the most important matches of his career simply because he was not ready for them yet, and Psycho, he decided to become friends with Psycho...which will give you nothing more than a headache. I have also decided to create a fantasy league. The way it will work is each week you see the card and pick who is going to win. If the person you picked wins, you receive 5 points. If the person you pick loses you receive 0 points. At the end of the TNW season you can trade in your points for DVD's or merchandise. It is free to join, and if you are interested you can email me at cheesehead_655@hotmail.com to make you account. Until next time, take care.
July 19, 2005: Gravedigger announced today that the rumor was indeed true. Monday Night Mayhem and Thursday Night Shadow Zone have been dropped from the TNW schedule. In the ending of a show there is a new beginning, Sunday Night Mayhem will start immediatly. There will be no last show or closing ceremonies for Monday Night or Thursday. Also the prize for third place has been switched from Psycho's "No Tresspassing" sign to Gravedigger's wrestling gloves. I believe that is all for now, until next time, take care.
July 16, 2005: I'm sorry but I cannot get the Hotter Than Hell PPV on the website. Seems freewebs has a file size limit, and I don't want to start cutting the video into smaller sections because that could result in lost footage. I hope everyone understands that I tryed my best to get it on the website, but that's life. We made a DVD for Hotter Than Hell, it can be purchased in the tape section. There has been a rumor going around the TNW locker room about the possible cancellation of both Monday Night Mayhem and Thursday Night Shadow Zone. They would be replaced with a single show held on Sundays. However this is only a rumor, I will post more when I find out further information. Until next time, take care.
July 10, 2005: Hotter Than Hell was a success! Except when the pyrotechnics went haywire and shot at the TNW wrestlers haha. We never did an official count of audience members but I figure it was anywhere between 11 and 15. I feel like it was a great success considering Osceola had almost no idea about TNW until today. I am hoping to get the complete Hotter Than Hell PPV on the site either late tonight or early tomorrow. Check back to watch the complete PPV later! Until next time, take care.
July 1, 2005: Hotter Than Hell is shaping up to be an event to remember. Everyone in TNW promises the event will be well worth the wait. TNW has a new superstar, his name is Masked Maniac. I have also received news that yet another superstar is joining the roster, his name is Crusader. I do not have a picture as of yet, but as soon as I recieve one I will post it. The match card is lining up as follows: Masked Maniac vs. Catastrophe, Psycho vs. Alan Stober in a hardcore match, and a triple threat for the TNW Championship! The match will be Gravedigger vs. Crusader vs. Cateclysm. Cateslysm just won the title not even a month ago and he has already been in a match such as this. he is definently not happy at the fact that he doesn't even have to be pinned to lose his title! A reminder for everyone that the event is Sunday July 10th. Until next time, take care.
June 29, 2005: More bad news, Hotter than Hell has been pushed back yet again to July 10th, 2005. This event will take place rain or shine. A rumor has been going around about there possibly being the unveiling of the TNW Hardcore Championship at Hotter than Hell. This however is just a rumor. I have not yet been able to speak with the owner to see if there is a plan to unveil a new title. The good news today is that the Psycho album has finally been released! To my surprise the CD is actually very good. It's a bit brief, roughly a half an hour. It is a bargain though, I am still laughing about it as i type this. This CD will make you listen to it over and over again. Psycho is indeed a funny person. Work is under way for a DVD, there has been no tlak of a release date yet. Since it has just went into the editing phase a couple days ago. With more than seven hours of material to edit, it might take a while. TNW season one is planned to be released only on VHS. This is to get the best quality possible for our fans. The DVD will not feature the music videos. Those videos were made using Windows Movie Maker, and it has a file that cannot be converted and is incompatable with DVD's. It kind of sucks, it will all work out alright though. Until next time, take care.
June 26, 2005: Hotter Than Hell has been pushed back until July 2nd, 2005. We have more information about the matches that are going to take place. Masked Maniac is going to return to the TNW ring! He will be in the first match of the evening, Masked Maniac vs. Catastrophe. This is a critical match in the TNW careers of these two individuals. They are both trying to work their way up the rankings. Winning this match will give them the leverage they need to be victorious over higher ranked wrestlers. The second match of the evening is going to be a crowd favorite. Psycho vs. Alan Stober in a hardcore match. The weapons list has been announced and is lengthy, some of the items are a leather belt, wooden dowels, rulers, chain, signs, and a metal briefcase. More weapons are on the list, but I don't feel the need to list all of them. The main event of the evening will be Gravedigger vs. Cateclysm for the TNW Championship. A heated fued has developed between these two wrestlers in the past few weeks. I worry any left over weapons from the hardcore match will be used in the title match. This is all that is known about Hotter Than Hell thus far. The event is still a week away and with Monday Night Mayhem and Thursday Night Shadow Zone still to come, things might change around. If I learn anything more from the owner of TNW I will make sure to post it. Until next time, take care.
June 23, 2005: TNW will be hosting Hotter Than Hell this Saturday June 25, 2005. TNW is inviting the local community, the event starts at 4:00 P.M and runs until about 5:00 P.M. For everyone that is interested in making banners, here are the list of prizes:
1st Place: A season 1 VHS and a Bonus DVD of us just being us. The DVD includes backstage segments, us practicing, us playing pranks on one another, and many more things!
2nd Place: The bonus DVD
3rd Place: Psycho's "No Tresspassing" sign.
June 16, 2005: It saddens me to say that TNW has parted ways with Inferno. Inferno announced his retirement before his main event at Hardcore Haven. We hope he has great success in whatever he choses to do. Hardcore Haven was by far the best PPV TNW has ever put on. It started out with Catastrophe vs. Psycho in a match for possession of Mr. Bear. Psycho was victorious in that match. Next was the chain match Gravedigger vs. Alan Stober. This was an excellant match. I can not tell who won, I am hoping to put the full match on the website in the next week. The main event of the evening was supposed to be Inferno vs. Cateclysm for the TNW Heavyweight Championship. Inferno came out to the ring and announced that he officially retire, this shocked the whole TNW community as even the owner did not know he was planning to do this. He made a triple threat match for the new TNW Championship. Cateclysm vs. Gravedigger vs. Alan Stober. Alan and Gravedigger were in the previous match but participated anyway. Cateclysm was victorious and is now the new TNW Heavyweight Champion. Until next time, take care.
June 13, 2005: It has been announced earlier today that there will be a chain match at Hardcore Haven!! The chain match will be between Gravedigger and Alan Stober. This match will likely determine the #1 contender for the belt. The main event for the might will be Inferno vs. Cateclysm for the TNW Heavyweight Championship! This is Cateclysm's first shot at the title since he has been in TNW. You can bet the match will be a must see. The card is going to open up with a Psycho vs. Catastrophe match. Even though this is the opening match, it will be a must see. Matches between those two are very good technical and collegiate wrestling. Hardcore Haven will take place on Wednsday June 15, 2005. You can bet it will be a night to remember. I will post more information tomorrow when I learn more. Until next time, take care.
June 7, 2005: Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been very busy getting the federation set up for the new season. It has been about a month since my last update, and wow, do I have a lot to catch you guys up on. Probably the thing I am most proud of right now is the TNW merchandise, thanks to the wonder full people at Cafepress.com who helped me do that. The Psycho cd will be released in about a month, it would be released sooner, but I am having a little trouble transfering the tracks into the Cafepress media basket. Since new material will not be written for the soon to be released Psycho album, production has switched to a TNW DVD. The only thing that worries me is, Cafepress does not support the making of DVDs. They don't more than likely because it would take up way to much room on their servers. I have enough material to make DVD but just the time it would take to burn them, and the cost of shipping, i don't know if it would benifit the company at this moment. Moving along, TNW has a new superstar! His name is Aris, look forward to see his bio on the roster page within the next week or so. TNW also had its first taping for the second season. I am proud to say that the taping went very well. Probably the highlight of the evening was the Gravedigger vs. Alan Stober double trampoline match! It was truelly a match that must be seen, that match will definently go into the DVD when we make one. Another exciting event of that evening was a match that Psycho himself made. The match was, get this.....Psycho vs. Psycho. The moron entered twice, beat the tar out of himself, and then cracked himself with his own sign, which caused him to lose consciousness. The sad thing is, the invisible Psycho won, thats going to be a complicated match to enter into the stat sheet, which affects ranking. Also Alan Stober stepped down from being 1/2 owner. He has become a full-time wrestler, that leaves Gravedigger in charge of the company. Things should really start to heat up in TNW. This is going to be an incredible season. Check back often for updates! Until next time take care.
May 2, 2005: TNW has announced that TNW season 2 will start on Friday May 13 (Oh oh, Friday the 13th.) We invite everyone to come and help us kick off the new season. This season is going to be full of a lot of surprising twists, plots, and hysterical moments. You can't miss it! I have been working on the TNW videos for each superstar, sadly for a lot of them I do not have enough material to make a video, some might have to wait until about 3 weeks into the season to get their personal video posted. I think I covered everything. Until next time, take care.
April 11, 2005: I am happy to report that the long awaited TNW videos are here! The first is a Psycho video. No it's not of him singing, but it's of him wrestling. Expect many many more videos in the coming weeks. Until next time, take care.
March 28, 2005: Hello everyone, on behalf of TNW we would like to say we are sorry for the lack of updates lately. We do have good news though, first off we are getting a brand new 15 foot trampoline to help kick off the new season. Also Psycho has given us another song to post on the website. Beewimped.mp3 Beewimped is a very nice parody of the famous song "Bwomp" by Mushroomhead. Psycho actually did a very good job on this song (well about as much as you can expect from this man) the albums release date is still at least two months away. For those of you that buy the album know that you will be treated to many Psycho songs that were never posted on this website. Also Psycho is considering putting a DVD in with the CD case with a bunch of TNW music videos and matches. So even if you arent a fan of Psychos' singing, this case should prove to have plenty of things that appeal to everyone. Until next time, take care.
March 5, 2005: I had the breakthrough of converting the WAV files, which Psycho's songs originally were to a much smaller more compressed Mp3 file. Here are his songs: i believe in u mr. bear.mp3, fourth grade.mp3, and Psycho opening.mp3 Please enjoy these songs which Pysho has worked so hard to put together for you.
February 20, 2005: I feel I need to explain something about the Psycho album. Understand that Psycho is definently not a professional singer. Here in TNW he is a comedy character. Therefore all of these songs that he is writing are for your enjoyment and designed to make you laugh. Its what he does, and he does it very well. The fact that he is singing all of these songs in character is pretty amazing in itself. So I'm just asking that you respect his position with the company and his attempts to put a smile on your face.
February 15, 2005: I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. Mine was ok incase you were wondering haha. Due to the fact that I only have 40MB of space on the site, an issue i plan to resolve in the near future. I will be deleting the songs "I Believe in You Mr. Bear" and "Fourth Grade" off of the site temporarily. However "Psycho Opening" will remain up. Since I don't know when I will be increasing my webspace I will rotate songs every couple weeks. What I mean by that is I will be posting "Psycho Opening" for a couple weeks then delete that and post "Fourth Grade" and so on. You can download the "Psycho Opening" right here. Psycho opening.wav Until next time take care.
February 12, 2005: The Psycho album is coming along nicely, so Psycho says. He has released the name of the album which is "Hi, I'm Psycho." Along with that announcement he has released three songs that have been finalized for the album. You can download them right here, track number one is entitled "Opening" which just has Psycho thanking everyone for buying the album and supporting TNW, download it here Psycho opening.wav the second track is titled "I believe in you Mr. Bear" which is a touching song about him confessing his love for Mr. Bear download it here i believe in u mr. bear.wav Track three is titled "Fourth Grade" which is well....different. Download it here fourth grade.wav the release date for the album has not been stated by Psycho. But expect it in the coming months. Until next time take care.
January 19, 2005: In an update that has shocked the TNW community, Psycho has announced that he will be recording an album for all of his fans. He said it will be ready in the coming months. It is pretty clear that his "solo" debut will happen soon, but one question remains. What will be on that album? Stay tuned for further details as this shocking story unravels. Until next time, take care.
December 13, 2004: Along with the breakthrough of a new website I also have far better news. The TNW has been engaged with a federation in Marshfield, Wisconsin called WBW (World Backyard Wrestling). The two feds finally met on Sunday December 12, 2004. It was indeed a great time. I will be discussing more on this subject in the coming weeks. Until next time, take care.
