AJS269 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 NOTE- As some of you will remember, a certain member of this forum eluded to the fact that some trainers may threaten their trainees to vote them top of this list. Now considering the this member works for two of the three trainers based in Central Scotland. One can assume he was implying this towards the training staff of SWA's Area 52.In particular the head trainer Damien O'Conor. There are two points I would like to make: 1-Damo did infact vote in this poll, and (though he may not have known it) cost himself 2 positions in doing so. And two, well look below.  UKFF SCOTTISH TOP 20 RESULTS  12th  DAMIEN O'CONOR  Credit to David J Wilson  Highlight of the Year- Winning the W3L Interim Heavyweight Championship and Headlining Wrestlution IV-- Going into 2010 Irishman Damien O'Conor has never held a Main Event Title however when Darkside was injured earlier this year, Damo took his chance and became Interim W3L Heavyweight Champion.He the faced the returning Darkside (Now known as James Scott) at W3L's biggest event Wrestlution to Unify the Interim and Heavyweight Title's and though he was not successful he did take Scott all the way.  Lowlight of the Year- Screwed out of the SWA Laird of the Ring Title O'Conor faced Red Lighting for the Laird of the Ring belt, and almost retained it. That was until the referee (and Damo's regular manager in NXT/Source) "Handsome" Jam O'Malley screwed Damo, costing him the Laird of the Ring Belt, and act which so far, Damo has not paid O'Malley back.  Predictions for 2011 Expect good matches from O'Conor, maybe even a title run in SWA or W3L.

AJS269 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 UKFF SCOTTISH TOP 20 RESULTS  11th  SCOTT "THE BUTCHER" RENWICK  Credit to David J Wilson  Highlight of the Year- Retaining the NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship for all of 2010- Scott Renwick is the longest reigning NWA Scottish Champion since the titles inception in 2004. The Butcher has defeated several wrestlers on the way including Lionheart, Wolfgang and Liam Thompson, and left 2010 as he started it. NWA Scottish Heavyweight Champion and has evolved this year, his in ring performances have been stellar, and he looks like he deserves his title reign.  Lowlight of the Year- Parts of his reign as NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship- For a face champion Scott Renwick's win to title match ratio is very low and out of the title matches he has had, one had a screw job finish before the match was restarted, one turned into a tag match (which Renwick's team lost) and in another a bizarre turn of events occurred when a heel guest referee gave him the pin after deliberately doing slow counts or even refusing to count the pin for most of the match. On top of this another two of the title matches ended in no contests meaning that less than half of Butchers matches have finished with him winning cleanly in SWA. Considering he is their champion, is very strange. Whilst Renwick can't be blamed for the booking and his in-ring performances have been impressive, Butchers title reign has been as good as I originally thought it would be.  Predictions for 2011- Heading into the 4th Gathering this February (which originally was meant to be in September 2010) Butcher is about to headline one of Scotland's biggest shows in a cage match. I can't see anyone taking the title of him any-time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fye Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think its a shame that you have shown the top 10 already, I was looking forward to a countdown in the same way you have done it so far. I have been very interested in this list and its took the shine off a bit for me, good work so far though so its more of a gripe than me being particularly negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indyscenerocker Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Chris Renfrew isn't as good as he used to be admittedly, but he's still a decent brawler. Certainly hasn't done much wrong in ICW this year and had one cracker with Lionheart. Davey Blaze has been really good though. Had a cracker with Kid Fite which was a real eye opener and then went onto have some good tag matches at the tail end of the year. Love his intensity and think he's a real one to watch.  he does have an intensity about him i guess but hes just not impressed me at all and ive seen him wrestle quite a few times now.  problem with renfrew is that all he can do is brawl, and that a good wrestler does not make.

The Cum Doctor Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 problem with renfrew is that all he can do is brawl, and that a good wrestler does not make. Â It's not all he can do though. Has had good matches ( not brawls ) with Micken, Eric Canyon, BT Gunn, Damien O'Conor, Darren Lewis and more than I'm probably forgetting. Â Just because it's all he does now, doesn't mean it's all that he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like a personal problem with Renfrew than anything else. It's quite clear the man can wrestle when he wants too, but why would he want too when he delivers such a good brawling style? look at the likes of Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody..all could wrestle but far better in a brawling environment.  The problem with Scottish Wrestling is everyone wrestles the exact same, same big dangerous moves. Someone with a different style is a welcome addition in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
