-”Bad Bones” John Kay going to Buchholz 

This past Saturday in the main event of CWN’s annual Norddeutschland Cup show, the german powerhouse “Bad Bones” John Kay was able to knock down “The Bad Boy Of British Wrestling” Jon Ryan with a Bicycle Kick and pin him in the middle of the ring after 16 minutes of nonstop-action which even started before the bell rung for the first time.

With an impressive win over the previously undefeated Jon Ryan, Kay advances to the second round of the tournament where he will have to face the scottish Lionheart.

 

-Austria withdraws from the UEWA

In the past days, there were some changes within the UEWA. First of all, our Austrian partner Riotgas Wrestling Alliance ceased operations effectively december 31, 2009. As a results of this, RWA is also not a part of the UEWA anymore.

Since being informed by RWA owner Slash Power about the end of his promotion, we have been in negotiations with other Austrian promotions to possibly join the UEWA and take the RWA spot not only within the UEWA but also in the tournament. Unfortunately, we did not come to an agreement so at this point, Austria is not part of the UEWA anymore.

Of course, this is also having effects on the tournament for the European Heavyweight Championship. As RWA is out of the UEWA and there is no direct follow-up, RWA will lose their spot in the tournament which also means the previously announced Michael Kovac will no longer be part of the tournament.

 

-Norway taking Austria’s spot in the tournament!

The next promotion to join the UEWA was and therefore also the promotion to take the spot of RWA is the Norwegian Wrestling Federation. Of course, NWF has the chance to re-nominate Michael Kovac for the tournament – but they don’t have to. We expect NWFs nominations in the very near future.

Thus, the current tournament tree looks like this:
