A New Blog up as Hakim Zane drops off what can only be called the "American Nightmare Manifesto" towards his opponent "Swagg Starr" Dave Manzo on 8/6, posted below - Source: clashwrestling.com CLASH Blog: “American Nightmare” Hakim Zane (07/28/11)July 28, 2011 It’s been seven long months since I stepped foot into a CLASH wrestling ring. Some of you may remember the name Hakim Zane, some of you may not. But you better believe I remember you, all of the fans, all of the wrestlers, everyone. A lot has changed since December 10th 2010, I have finally come to the reality that this society will NEVER except me for who I am. I am an AMERICAN, born and raised in the United States of America, but I’ve NEVER been treated like an American. I’ve been treated like an outcast, an outsider. Why? Because my name is Hakim Zane? Because of the color of my skin? Because of my features? Let’s face facts, ever since I stepped foot into this business every promoter has wanted to book me as a terrorist, because I LOOK middle eastern! I’m actually black and Indian, but who cares WHAT race I am the bottom line is that I’m American. But my fellow Americans have done nothing but turn their backs on me and treat me like a disgrace. I’ve tried so hard to fit in…I’ve tried so hard to live the AMERICAN DREAM only to realize that I have become the AMERICAN NIGHTMARE. The American Nightmare isn’t some foreign country with weapons of mass destruction, the American Nightmare is what happens when Americans turn their back on one of their own. I will show you why the old America isn’t working anymore and I will bring forth a new America, MY AMERICA! On August 6th at CLASH 100, history will be made not only because it’s CLASH’s 100th show, but because the REVOLUTION will begin. It’s time for the new America to plant it’s roots and Dave Manzo will be example number one. Even though I’ve been away for quite some time I’ve watched Manzo get better and better. He’s been on a roll as of late and even in defeat at Age of Allegiance, showed how much he’s improved. That ENDS at CLASH 100. Dave Manzo is just ONE of the things wrong with the old America, he reminds me of Hollywood or the music industry, who take an image or a formula and duplicate it over and over until it is burned in the minds or our youth. But Dave Manzo, like Hollywood and the music business you lack focus, you lack identity , you lack soul. You represent designer clothes, gaudy chains, and quanity over quality as if that’s what makes you better than anyone else. I represent what this country needs, confidence. I hide behind no image and refuse to TRY to blend in any longer with these FALSE Americans. I will make an example of Dave Manzo. I will show the world WHY we need a NEW America, why I am a BETTER American. I will show the world why Hakim Zane has become the American Nightmare. I don’t pledge allegiance to the flag, I pledge allegiance to the NEW America. At CLASH 100, the REVOLUTION begins. Hakim Zane

Source: clashwrestling.com CLASH Blog: CLASH Champion Gavin Quinn (08/01/11)August 1, 2011 I have beaten so many challengers in the past year that names get blurred and every face looks eerily similar. Many men (and even a woman) stared into these eyes from across the squared circle, yet I couldn’t tell you how I defeated any of them. Details are irrelevant to me, because every win looks the same. Different opponents, same result. But there is one opponent I remember in particular. One man who took me to my absolute limit, and had me as close to my heels as I have ever felt in my life. That man was Petey Williams, my opponent on August 6th. Any other man would be scared to get in the ring with a world class athlete like “Maple Leaf Muscle.” Any other man would be spending their last few days before the biggest match of their life HOPING for the best. I am clearly no ordinary man. My next few days will be spent like last 1,000. In the gym, in the film room, and in some lucky lady’s bedroom. I don’t HOPE for anything. I don’t WISH for the best. I’m the best because my preparations lead me to greatness, and my will to win is as strong as my will to breathe. My life revolves around winning, and I have never wanted to win more than on August 6th. I know Petey’s game plan. I know exactly what he wants to do to win this match, and I can NOT let it happen. I can NOT lose my belt….I can NOT let him hit the Canadian Destroyer. Here’s to HOPING you bring a different game plan Petey, and WISHING for the best. Your Champion today and on August 7th, Gavin Quinn

Source: clashwrestling.com Competitor Spotlight: “Swagg Starr” Dave ManzoAugust 2, 2011 Competitor Spotlight: “Swagg Starr” Dave Manzo - He’s known as a lot of things: Swagg E. Fresh, Swagg Starr, Swagg Master etc. Let’s put it this way, if there’s Swagg, he’s got it! Dave Manzo is a CLASH original, wrestling in the very first match of the very first event in company history: Seize The Day I on January 5th, 2008 and has been a highly ranked competitor ever since. Although yet to be CLASH Champion, Manzo has been in contention for the gold on numerous occasions spanning his near 4 year career and is a former CLASH Tag Team Champion. Today we’re going to explore more of the Swagg Starr’s career and we hope you’ll learn a few things as we detail how Dave Manzo became the “King of Swagg” in CLASH Wrestling. 2008: An “All American” Dave Manzo - Many may not recall but Dave Manzo’s debut in CLASH Wrestling was against the “Ace High” Cameron Skyy in the opening match of Seize The Day I. During that time known as the “All American” Dave Manzo (complete with red, white, & blue singlet) managed by Coach “B” (current CLASH ring announcer “B”), he was immediately a top competitor battling for contention of the CLASH Championship. The antagonist duo of Manzo & Coach B were often showered with “Coach B Sucks” chants during Manzo’s in-ring action. Late 2008-2009 – “All American” Becomes “Swagg Starr” - Just as Dave Manzo began gaining the respect of the CLASH faithful, a curve ball was thrown. B rechristened the former “All American” as the new “Swagg Starr” Dave Manzo. Soon after, Manzo & B paired up with former CLASH Champion Jack Night to create the tag team of Nightlife. By October 2009, Nightlife had acquired the CLASH Tag Team Championship and proved to be the team to beat in CLASH with victories over both the Friends (GQ & Rave Killbourn) and The H3RD (Tommy Treznik & J. Miller) under their belts. 2010: Nightlife Dissolves - Nightlife’s ride of tag team success came to a halt in April last year as the odd couple of Wreckingball & Will Vendetta (Wreck-N-Roll) claimed victory & defeated Manzo & Night for their gold. Although Wreck-N-Roll did not find working together amusing; their unexplainable cohesiveness kept Nightlife from recapturing the straps. A few months later, in September 2010, CLASH CEO Truth Martini fired Jack Night thus leaving Dave Manzo as a singles competitor once again. Back on his own, “Swagg Starr” Dave Manzo began to turn another corner with the CLASH fans after he was paired in a bout with the evil “Mad Scientist” Tommy Treznik. Treznik had constructed a “Super Strength” elixir designed for his use, however things backfired when Manzo drank a mouthful of the yellow concoction. With this new found strength, Supermanzo drove the “Mad Scientist” into a frenzy to create an antidote, which he did at Seize The Day IV. Ultimately defeated by Treznik, Manzo was forced to drink the antidote, causing him to lose his super strength and revert back to his normal “Swagg” self. 2011: Singles Success - Dave Manzo has seen great success in his singles career this year as he was the victor of the inaugural “Contenders Cup” to crown a #1 Contender and has defeated a number of competitors along his path to the CLASH Championship. At 100 on 8/6, the “Swagg Starr” takes his hot streak to the test as he takes on the returning Hakim Zane! Dates Of Significance01/05/08: “All American” Dave Manzo wrestles in the first match in CLASH Wrestling history. 03/22/08: Wrestles in the finals of the first ever Triple Crown Cup Tournament. 11/22/08: Dave Manzo becomes the “Swagg Starr.” 08/08/09: With Jack Night, Nightlife defeat The H3RD (Treznik & Miller) in a vicious Street Fight. 10/23/09: Nightlife capture the CLASH Tag Team Championship defeating The Friends. 07/17/10: For the second time in two years, Nightlife make it to the finals of the NPCI Tag Team Tournament. 02/26/11: Dave Manzo wins the inaugural “Contenders Cup” and becomes #1 Contender. 08/06/11: 100 CLASH Events later, Dave Manzo prepares to take on a returning Hakim Zane.

We, at CLASH Wrestling are extending "Shark Week"...yea, you read that right, full story below w/ the last blog going into 8/6, hope to see you at the 100th - Source: clashwresting.com Shark Week Extended One Day By CLASH WrestlingAugust 4, 2011 The Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, which first aired in 1987 and has aired every year since, is a week long series of feature television programs dedicated to sharks. For the past week, television viewers in 72 countries have watched Shark Week 2011 intently, leading to record breaking ratings. Unfortunately for many shark enthusiasts, Shark Week will come to a close tomorrow night. While many will have to wait an entire year for sharks to once again take center stage, fans of CLASH Wrestling won’t have to wait at all. In fact, we at CLASH Wrestling have chosen to extend Shark Week one extra day, when Shark Boy returns to CLASH this Saturday night at 100! Is there a better way to cap off Shark Week than by watching Shark Boy compete inside the squared circle? After a week long celebration of his family & friends, Shark Boy will go one on one with CLASH’s own “Ace High” Cameron Skyy! Can Skyy defeat Shark Boy during this of all weeks? Or will the “Man From 10,000 Leagues Under The Sea” prove that sharks are worth celebrating more than just 1 week out of the year? There’s only one way to find out! Join us for one more night of Shark Week when CLASH Wrestling presents 100 this Saturday night! --- CLASH Blog: William J. O’Malley (08/04/11)August 4, 2011 Justice. Truth. Purity. These are three principles that unite myself and Gideon Malice. They are also the same three principles that we have been trying to get you all to understand. Yet, we are still frowned upon and ridiculed by each and every one of you. You call us the outcasts, when in fact it is you who should be outcast from society. The message we try to share with the world is the same message that will eventually save it. Finally, thankfully, our preaching has not fallen entirely on deaf ears. This Saturday someone will be converted. At CLASH Wrestling 100 the Sons of Sanity will be one person stronger and one person louder. It shall it be a night of celebration! As for those peddling sinners dressed up as super heroes, let them be a warning to the tag teams of the world: Join us or parish into the Lake of Fire! William J. O’Malley

The two had a brief staredown before finally concluding with Miller’s signature “Goodbye Tooth” kick. The faithful watched on as J. Miller covered Quinn and counted the 1-2-3 to end “100.”
