What a year we have had in SWA. With the Originals vs. The New Line feud dominating a majority of the cards right up until the historic 100th event in St. Bride’s Hall in Motherwell it thus became harder and harder to see who would end the year as Champions. This was exacerbated by “Originals” leader Peter Murphy, who has increasingly distanced himself from the “Originals” group after screwing Scott Renwick out of his Scottish Title at the Gathering in February. Perhaps Murphy is feeling guilty for what he did to Scott Renwick? Or perhaps is there an ulterior motive to his actions?

Because of this, Murphy has had quite the tumultuous relationship with New Line leader Damian O’Connor. O’Connor has been unable to buy into Murphys sudden change of heart and as a result, both men have clashed, ending with Murphy smashing O’Connor over the head with a steel chair. He then promised on his “state of the SWA address” on Christmas Day viewable Here that O’Connor would face the signee of the mysterious “contract” that Murphy continually makes reference to. Could this mean Murphy stepping out of retirement for one last match….or has he something altogether more devious up his sleeve?

After the nominations and voting process, a select group of fans, staff and talent gathered in Glasgow to celebrate the best of the best in 2011 with our annual awards ceremony. After weeks of voting, the numbers were close but the final winners were revealed when we all gathered together at the. The SWA Committee would like to thank everyone who came along and took part in the awards and came along to support and celebrate the year with us.

SWA Hall of Fame 2011; Adam Shame, Eric Canyon & David Wilson
This year we saw three men inducted into the SWA Hall of Fame who have been the starting point for SWA as well as core members in helping get the company off the ground way back in our early days. Our in-ring stars to be inducted are two of the men who have been there from the beginning and helped form the company in 2004. Both men had a hand in training the first wave of students back in the days of training in Clydebank and elevated the company with their storied feuds with the Sinners, as well as each other! And joining them in the Hall of Fame is one man who’s praises can’t be sung highly enough. David Wilson has worked non stop since those early days to document SWA since it’s inception to the present day with ringside snaps and has been a strong advisor to the SWA Committee
