Total Wrestling Federation
[TWF]
-- The recent "re-formation" of the RWF has caused a major stir backstage, with little known about the promotion. What is known is that the TWF has some part in the organisation of it and is it's financial backer. What no-one knows is who runs the show. The first event since the "re-formation" was WrestleFest this month and it is expected to feature largely RWF old boys with little involvement from those who were not there when it originally started.
-- Many TWF fans are still wondering where Grit BasH and FURY have been since Christmas, with no new episodes airing what so ever. With Deadly MindGames still not finished at time of press, the two shows may not be on air until April at the earliest.
-- With No Way BacK around the corner, the TWF will begin it's push to Summer Break VI. At the moment, it appears that The Millennium Stadium is a lock for the event, which should be confirmed at No Way BacK.
-- In yet another twist in the Biggie vs. Holly saga, Louise was recently spotted with the Jock's manager backstage having a rather lengthy discussion. Sources say that once more, it appears that Biggie is being screwed over by people whom he trusts. We will keep an eye on the situation and see how it develops.
-- An interesting plan is being thought up of for No Way BacK. We are told that an idea has been pitched for the Z-Pack and Team EV to continue their firsts, after the first Tag-Team Ambulance Match at Deadly MindGames, it's expected that they have the first Tag-Team Last Ride Match at Easter HeAT, but the feud could be settle in a very unique way at No Way BacK.
-- The TWF wants something very dramatic to happen and with the event already being promoted with the tag-line "The Last Grasp", there is a very good chance that we could have the first Criminal Injustice Match in 5 years or, the first ever Gas Chamber Match. The Gas Chamber match could work in one of two ways. Either both Holly and Louise are locked in chambers and the winner's valet is released, whilst the other is gassed, or both members of each team must be placed in chambers to win. Either way, it could be extremely dramatic.
-- Mastermind, who has been doing an excellent job as TWF World Champion as of late, is expected to hold onto the title for the foreseeable future. His contract runs up around Summer Break as he only signed a short-term deal, but the TWF is already faced with a dilemma as to whether to sign him on after his title reign as it might effect his popularity. Mastermind is already considering retirement, though, due to unrelated reasons, but the ball is firmly in the TWF's court.
-- The talk of swapping the Hardkore and European Championships has started up again. The TWF is now going to be reluctant to do so, with there talk of a Hardcore "Renaissance" in June thanks to the ECW re-union shows.
-- Summer Break VI is already being heavily talked about backstage. There is a lot of talk of gimmick matches dominating the card, but Mr. BIG is fiercely opposing the idea, saying that Summer Break is heavily traditional and doesn't want anything more than a Tables, Ladders, Chairs or Steel Cage match to take place at the show. Most of the wrestlers have backed him up on this.
-- The TWF was told this week that two members of the current roster will definitely be leaving after Summer Break VI. The Protege, who also works backstage as Head of Production, has accepted a scholarship to a college in Greater London. The other superstar, which comes as no surprise, is Hawke. He has opted to pursue his acting and singing careers and is expected to go to a drama school after Summer Break VI.
-- Speaking of Hawke and Protege, both received rave reviews for their part in a local production that starred former TWF stars Rhys Evans and Gareth Fox. Mr. BIG was present at the final night and after show party and was "amazed" at the quality of the show and said that he is surprised they didn't have more nights to perform.
-- With this talk of two BIG stars leaving, the TWF will now struggle to fill the holes. Mr. BIG is getting increasingly worried at the state of the TWF after Summer Break VI and fears it could go back to the survivors from the first ever TWF show: Mr. BIG, NJS, Marz, AJ Jeffers and Owen Carl. Frekishi, The Assassin, The Shott, The Terminator and The Vamp are all confirmed for the next two years as well.
