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

After John ‘The Bomb’ Graham defeated Eric Canyon the night before in Govan, the SWA Originals wee seething as the unstoppable Bomb had gained the right to battle for the SWA Tag Team Championship in St Brides Hall, Motherwell. Not only Bomb’s home town, but on the biggest night of the year as SWA celebrated it’s one hundredth event!

It was only fitting that this milestone was celebrated with a huge battle between old and new as the Originals, Eric Canyon and Adam Shame, put their titles on the line against one of the most dominating teams to enter the NuGeneration of Scottish Wrestling; Nathan Black and The Bomb, better known together as the Weapons of Mass Destruction!

News just in! With the fall out of Trial by Fire, its become clear that John “The Bomb” Graham and Nathan Black WILL have their Tag Team Title shot against current Champions, “The Originals” Eric Canyon and Adam Shame. This has added one hell of a spice to the proceedings! Can the Weapons of Mass Destruction lift tag gold, or will the Originals prove themselves once more to their doubting leader Peter Murphy?

Also in her typical disgusting fashion, Nikki Storm interfered during Erin Angel’s post match celebration after victory over Vyper! Storm aggressively attacked Angel from behind, flooring the debuting star! When Erin came to, she made the challenge for a one on one match with Storm tonight in Motherwell!!! This has set up a potential cracker for the fans in St. Bride’s Hall!!!!!

Making our return to the Pearce Institute in Govan, SWA kicked off their end of year double header with a massive night of action that saw an old star return, a new star pave his way to glory and a new champion crowned.

After losing the T-Division Championship, Glen Dunbar has been on the edge of sanity. Being one of the best members of the SWA Originals when it comes to raw talent, Dunbar was an obvious pick to challenge any of the NuGeneration but after his failure to take the Scottish title from Andy Anderson, he knew that he’d have to step up his game when facing Joe Coffey for the Laird title.
