SPW Pro Wrestling 33 SPW Pro Wrestling 33 2nd November 1922. Jackson, MS. Attendance: 417 Overall Show Rating: 40

SPW Pro Wrestling 33 Preview Here is the preview for SPW Pro Wrestling 33... Southern Pro Wrestling heads into a new era following the happenings at Octoberfest and the crowning of a new World Champion, but there are some things in the past that can't be forgotten... After teaming together last month to overcome Double Shot, Daniel Loiselle and Emilio Suarez are on a collision course once again as they look to settle a score that has its roots way back to the very beginning of SPW. It was their feud over the World Title that dominated main events for the promotion's first year and culminated at the 1st Anniversary Show with Suarez, then under the mask of El Espiritu, defeating Loiselle for the Championship. Suarez's reign came to a premature end however, when he was defeated by Joe Boone at Octoberfest 1921. Boone was only able to get the victory thanks to Daniel Loiselle who, in attempting to help stave off the interference of Boone's stablemates in The Alliance, actually ended up costing Suarez the title. In December of last year, Loiselle had his first opportunity to win the World Title back since losing it, but was denied by Suarez who deliberately got Loiselle disqualified in his match with Joe Boone as payback for Loiselle's previous mistake. Afterwards the pair agreed to stay out of one another's way as they both pursued World Champion Boone but found their luck unchanging- Suarez lost his mask at the hands of Boone, while Loiselle failed to win the number 1 contender round robin in the Spring that would have seen him earn a title shot that Boone was unwilling to give him. Both men had the chance to win a title shot again at Octoberfest, in the Summer Super Tournament and things were going well as both progressed to the semi-final where they would meet one another. Despite battling hard, neither could put the other away and the 30-minute time limit draw that resulted, signalled the end of the tournament for both men. That's why Daniel Loiselle requested this match against his long time rival to find out who the better man is once and for all, in a bout that will have no time limit. As if this history wasn't enough, newly crowned World Champion, Tetsuyuki Ishibashi has promised that he will face the winner of the match at Festive Fury- it's going to be a fight for the ages! Speaking of the World Champion, it is fair to say that he may not have been able to overcome the odds of The New Alliance had it not been for his tag partner, Masao Kobayashi, and their mentor Saita Kuroki forming a barrier to prevent the stable getting involved. Now, the three men will face the New Alliance team of Spike Morgan, Perry Bryant & Nathan Hayes as Boone's soldiers attempt to extract a manner of revenge for the Japanese trio out manoeuvring them at Octoberfest. The tag team titles will be on the line at the show as The Faithful defend their belts against No Nonsense in what should be a fascinating contest, not least because it would seem that their respective issues with two other teams- Young Guns and The Chivalry- are far from over. This potential chaos could hamper or benefit either pair, and in an attempt to prevent interference, SPW have also booked a singles collision between Sir Anthony Henry and Roland Pascual in a bid to keep the two teams occupied during the show. In addition to all this, the card will feature the likes of former Tag Team Champions, Levi Andrews and Friedrich Herzog, Dustin David, Squire Albert Berik and Leroy Disco, for an all action evening of pro wrestling!

SPW Octoberfest 1922 Aftermath & News Aftermath The crowning of Tetsuyuki Ishibashi as the new SPW World Champion went as well as management had hoped for. Firstly the return of Saita Kuroki was met with a positive, if not spectacular reaction, and then Ishibashi and Boone constructed a fine bout that, with a rating of 50 becoming the 11th best match of all time (and the 2nd best World Title match ever). The reaction to Ishibashi's victory was good too, and the post match celebration, which included many of SPW's top babyfaces was received warmly by the crowd. The title change was as much about the end of Joe Boone's reign as it was about Ishibashi's victory, Boone had been on top for a full year and it was important to ensure the fans didn't become fatigued by having a heel champion for too long a period. SPW had compressed the spring for long enough and it was time to pass all that built up equity to a new man, now would be the real test of Ishibashi to see if he could take the ball and run with it. There were great performances by Squire Albert Berik, Thomas Appleseed and Perry Bryant at the show, who all carried their respective matches. The same was true of Daniel Loiselle who, despite teaming with Emilio Suarez still managed to stand out, and once again prove that he was the top in ring performer on the roster. News The deal to bring Saita Kuroki back to SPW was a short one and had been initially agreed to run for 3 months through to the end of the year. Kuroki was still a little bitter about the previous end to their working relationship, and eager to get back in the ring but was persuaded to come back by his good friend Frank Norris. With Tetsuyuki Ishibashi set to win the World Title at Octoberfest it felt like the right time to bring Kuroki back and have him celebrate with his protege, it also helped take the New Alliance element out of the equation for the main event, which was important in order to distinguish Ishibashi's ability to win the title over others inability to do so. There was a further upswing in quality at PoG's latest event 'Heavy Duty' on October 30th as they achieved a 38 rated show thanks mainly to the best match the company had put on up to this point (rated 41), and the main event of the show, which saw Pygmalion Angel make his 6th successful defence of the PoG World Title against Peter Jelinek in the 3rd collision in their feud. Underneath was another good battle between Berg Andersson and Albert Larsen over Andersson's PoG National Title, where the Swede retained his title in a count out victory. Marek Wozniak overcame Bjarni Johansson in another rematch in the semi-main spot on the show, while Angelino Romano suffered an injury that was set to keep him out of action for the next month in his opening victory opposite Miguel Filho.

Ah great to hear, yes lots more to come- I have played the game up to March 1928 (I am intending to continue beyond then, but am taking a break at the moment) so this will run for some time yet. 6 out of 10- You got all the main matches correct, just let down by the undercard. How have you found Ishibashi's win in the tournament and subsequent World Title victory? 5 out of 10- Welcome Josh, a good start here, hope to see you as we continue on through the story. Out of interest have you jumped in at this point or have you read back through from the beginning?

SPW Octoberfest 1922 SPW Octoberfest 1922 16th October 1922. Jackson, MS. Attendance: 385 Overall Show Rating: 48

SPW Octoberfest 1922 Preview Here is the preview for SPW Octoberfest 1922... SPW Octoberfest is finally here as the stars of pro wrestling converge on Jackson to wage war, settle scores and battle for the grandest prizes in the sport! In the main event, SPW World Champion Joe Boone, defends his title against the young and impressive Tetsuyuki Ishibashi. Ishibashi secured his shot in the main event of the show by outlasting 15 other men to win the Summer Super Tournament in August but undoubtedly faces his toughest challenge to date here. Boone has held the World Title for a full year having won the belt at SPW Octoberfest 1921 and has since taken on all challengers. What's more, Joe Boone always has a plan up his sleeve, often involving the members of his New Alliance stable. Can Ishibashi pull off another major victory and take the SPW World Title, or will Joe Boone's reign continue unabated? In addition to the World Title match, there will also be two other titles on the line as Women's Champion Melinda Bell defends against Consuelo Montero , and Montero's Faithful stable mates, Thomas Appleseed and Austyn Taylor will defend their tag titles against former champions, Young Guns. Montero has been on a good run since joining with Appleseed and Taylor in The Faithful, and she will undoubtedly pose a real threat to the Champion. But Bell has now settled into her role as de facto leader of the women's division, and will be looking to make a 5th successful title defence at Octoberfest. Thomas Appleseed and Austyn Taylor have risen to the top of the tag team ranks in quick order since coming together for the first time back in May- that night the pair defeated their challengers at Octoberfest, Young Guns when they used the mind games that have been a major weapon in their rise. In subsequent months, Young Guns picked up injuries at the hands of their rivals, and as a consequence missed out on the chance to compete in the Summer Super Tournament, they returned to SPW last month however, to resume the rivalry and, having been tag champions in the past, will be as hungry as ever to regain the straps here. Talking of tag team action, Double Shot have been a thorn in the side of former World Champion Daniel Loiselle In recent months. In successive matches, Loiselle has defeated both Carl Hackney and Michael King in singles action, but has been attacked in the aftermath by the duo. That is why Loiselle has challenged the pair to a tag team match and has surprisingly called upon his old nemesis, Emilio Suarez, to join him to take down his opponents. With Loiselle and Suarez coming together to form possibly the most awesome tag team in the history of the sport, can their egos be held in check, or will previous tensions make them easy targets for their experienced tag opponents? There appears to be no end in sight in the war between The Alliance and The New Alliance as representatives from both sides of the divide will compete in head to head matches at the show. Firstly, Friedrich Herzog and Spike Morgan will meet in a rematch from their collision at SPW Pro Wrestling 32, where both men were counted out such was the ferocity of their battle. Then, Levi Andrews and Leroy Disco will team together to face the combination of Perry Bryant and Nathan Hayes. Levi Andrews may have been knocked back in recent months as he tries to add a fourth member to The Alliance and even the odds between the two groups, but with Joe Boone tied up in a major World Title collision, is this the chance for his group to regain the advantage? Octoberfest is also set to play host to what should be the conclusive match in the feud between La Oscuridad and Dustin David, as well as a rematch between The Chivalry and No Nonsense, who went to a time limit draw with each other at SPW Pro Wrestling 31. All this and more is set to unfold at the October spectacular- it's going to be a massive night in Southern Pro Wrestling's history- do not miss it! Full Card SPW World Title Match- Joe Boone © vs. Tetsuyuki Ishibashi Daniel Loiselle & Emilio Suarez vs. Double Shot Spike Morgan vs. Friedrich Herzog Levi Andrews & Leroy Disco vs. Nathan Hayes & Perry Bryant SPW Women's Title Match- Melinda Bell © vs. Consuelo Montero SPW Tag Team Title Match- The Faithful © vs. Young Guns Dustin David vs. La Oscuridad Big Z vs. Masao Kobayashi The Chivalry vs. No Nonsense Danny Cool vs. Bernie Hughes

<p>SPW Pro Wrestling 32 Aftermath</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Aftermath</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> After the slight disappointment that had been the final of the Summer Super Tournament, and the main event of the previous show, both of which Tetsuyuki Ishibashi had been a key part of, there was happiness at the quality of the main event of SPW Pro Wrestling 32, which garnered a rating of 46. This provided the kind of reassurance in Ishibashi's ability that management were looking for, as they prepared for him to headline Octoberfest against Joe Boone for the World Title. </p><p> </p><p> Speaking of Ishibashi, the personality issues that had risen to the surface at SPW Summer Super Tournament Night 2 had not been repeated since so Don Loomis was putting them down to nerves, as Ishibashi prepared to headline for the first time. There had been however. some behavioural issues with Dragon Lee lately who, along with partner Roland Pascual, had just returned after a couple of shows off. The management team were concerned that the size of the roster, as well as recent announcements about relationships beginning in the company were destabilising the good levels of morale they had enjoyed backstage in SPW thus far.</p><p> </p><p> Squire Albert Berik once again carried more than his fair share of the work to make the opening contest a solid affair. Berik continues to impress and was being seriously considered for a main event push of his own. The women meanwhile continued their slow improvement- both Melinda Bell's most recent title matches had received 36 ratings which were the highest for any women's matches up to this point. Bell had been the division's most consistent performer, no question, but Diana Gosselin deserved a lot of credit for the way she had come in and raised the bar in her matches with the Champion.</p>

5 out of 8- welcome, great to have you on board! Pretty decent first set of predictions here- nobody predicted the draw between Herzog & Morgan, most predicted Gosselin to take the women's title, and the 6-person match was always 50/50. Out of interest, did you read back to the start, or did you just pick things up from this point? Just interested to see how people are engaging with the story. 5 out of 8- decent predictions, you got all the undercard matches correct, those top 3 matches were a general problem for everyone- of 12 predictions between everyone for those matches, there were only 3 correct, so it was tough. 4 out of 8- Welcome also! Thanks so much for getting involved. Again, interested to know whether you have read back through the past shows or have just picked this up at a certain point and stuck with it? Not a bad first set of predictions here. 7 out of 8- Cracking round of predictions, with just the draw tripping you up (which shouldn't really count should it!?) Would it have been the biggest surprise in history if Loiselle had lost here?

<p>SPW Pro Wrestling 32 Preview</p><p> </p><p> Here is the preview for SPW Pro Wrestling 32...</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Southern Pro Wrestling brings it's unique blend of competition, action and excitement back to the great state of Texas as Beaumont plays host to the toughest men and women in the world!</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> In just a couple of weeks, Tetsuyuki Ishibashi takes his World Title opportunity, earned by winning the Summer Super Tournament, against Joe Boone at Octoberfest. At SPW Pro Wrestling 32 however, they will meet in the ring for the first time ever, in tag team action as Ishibashi and his regular tag partner, Masao Kobayashi, will face Boone and his stable mate, Nathan Hayes. The Kuroki Boys are a great team but have been coming up short as of late having lost their tag team titles in August and then failing to win them back last month. Can they defeat the New Alliance pairing of Boone and Hayes? Or will the Champion go into Octoberfest with the psychological advantage?</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> Speaking of the New Alliance, their war with Levi Andrews and his Alliance is far from over, and SPW Pro Wrestling 32 plays host to two matches where that war is squarely at the heart of the action. Firstly SPW Mid South Champion, Perry Bryant, makes his first defence of the title after defeating Friedrich Herzog at SPW Summer Super Tournament Night 1, when he defends against Leroy Disco. This will be a contest between the newest members of both stables and therefore they will be equally eager to provide a good first impression.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> Also, in a battle of the big men, Friedrich Herzog will face Spike Morgan, 1 year after Morgan's debut in the company at SPW Pro Wrestling 19. Very few people would have predicted the rise of Morgan since that night, despite the impressive performance he put in during the Battle Royal that took place, but having competed well against Daniel Loiselle in 3 matches over the course of the summer, and now being a part of the World Champion's New Alliance stable, Morgan has to be seen as a bona fide top contender within SPW. A victory over Friedrich Herzog would cement Morgan's position near the top if he can achieve it. </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> The SPW Women's Title will be on the line at the show as Melinda Bell makes her 3rd defence against Diana Gosselin, who some have argued has thus far been unlucky not to take the title. On the 4th of July, Gosselin was pinned by Bell despite it appearing as if Gosselin's foot was on the rope during the count and then when the rematch took place, Bell only escaped with the belt because she got disqualified and the belt can not change hands on a DQ. Diana Gosselin will be hoping that it will be 3rd time lucky at SPW Pro Wrestling 32.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> Last month at SPW Pro Wrestling 31, Daniel Loiselle earned himself a victory against one half of Double Shot, Carl Hackney but ended up the worse off out of the two men, when a post match attack, by both Hackney and his regular tag partner, Michael King culminated in him being powerbombed through a table by the pair. Since then, Loiselle has asked for a match against King, looking to gain a measure of revenge, but with threat of Hackney looming, can Loiselle take it for granted that the same won't happen again, whatever the result? </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> All this plus The Chivalry, No Nonsense, The Faithful and Young Guns as Southern Pro Wrestling makes its last stop before Octoberfest! </em></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Full Card</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Joe Boone & Nathan Hayes vs. The Kuroki Boys</p><p> Friedrich Herzog vs. Spike Morgan</p><p> SPW Women's Title Match- Melinda Bell © vs. Diana Gosselin</p><p> Danny Cool & Big Z vs. No Nonsense</p><p> SPW Mid South Title Match- Perry Bryant © vs. Leroy Disco</p><p> The Faithful vs. Young Guns & Ryo Matsuda</p><p> Daniel Loiselle vs. Michael King</p><p> The Chivalry vs. Dustin David & Bernie Hughes</p>

<p>SPW Pro Wrestling 31 Aftermath & News</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Aftermath</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> The main event of SPW Pro Wrestling 31, which had seen The Faithful successfully defend the SPW Tag Team Titles against The Kuroki Boys, was disappointing, especially given that The Kuroki Boy's Ishibashi would be participating in the main event of Octoberfest in a month's time. With a rating of 32, it was the lowest rated main event the promotion had put on since Nathan Hayes had defeated Dustin David in the main event of SPW Pro Wrestling 17, in the tournament final to crown the first Mid South Champion, all the way back in July 1921. Having said all that, Ishibashi was the stand our performer in the contest and so the management team tried to maintain their enthusiasm for the push they were giving him. </p><p> </p><p> There was far better action to be found further down the card, as the opener between No Nonsense and The Chivalry had really impressed (as had star of the match, Squire Albert Berik), the mixed tag match, which was far from a surprise given the chemistry between La Oscuridad and Dustin David, and also, the 6-man tag bout that featured The Alliance against The New Alliance- World Champion Joe Boone was especially good in this one. But, as so often is the case, it was Daniel Loiselle who was the overall MVP, taking a nothing match against tag wrestler, Carl Hackney, and delivering a 50 rated bout. </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">News</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> There was romance in the air of Southern Pro Wrestling as two different couples made it public that they were in a relationship together- the first was Diamanta and La Oscuridad, real name Aubrey Turcotte (Turcotte was a Canadian, though portrayed a Mexican masked wrestler in front of the audience), the other was between Ryo Matsuda and Spike Morgan. </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="CdzKKCg.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/CdzKKCg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Pride of Germany presented their latest show 'Final Cut' on the 20th September in front of 286 fans, which was another slight improvement on their previous best, it was also their best from a critical juncture too, beating Dirty Livin 1 by 1 rating point overall (for a Show Rating of 35). In The main event, Tellus Chalkias attempted to win back the PoG World Title that he'd lost to Pygmalion Angel back in April- unfortunately for Chalkias he came up short as Angel defeated his rival by pinfall in a 38 rated match (and won match of the night honours). Elsewhere on the show, Friedrich Herzog failed for the 2nd month in a row to win a title, this month falling to defeat against Peter Jelinek for Jelinek's PoG Arena Title. Berg Andersson also held onto his PoG National Title with a count out victory opposite Eetu Larsen.</p>

4 out of 9- I get what you're saying about Perry Bryant/Tetsuyuki Ishibashi in terms of who was set to get the push. Ishibashi did feel a little like coming out of nowhere, though I feel like to win the tournament, he didn't have to defeat anyone major (Appleseed, La Oscuridad and Bryant), plus Bryant was a heel so a match with Boone at Octoberfest just didn't feel right. It's weird, I'm trying to explain my booking decisions without giving anything away for the future which is really hard! 5 out of 9- I feel like this little transition period between the tournament and Octoberfest is a little more unpredictable than would normally be the case so this is pretty decent score.

SPW Pro Wrestling 31 SPW Pro Wrestling 31 4th September 1922. Jackson, MS. Attendance: 389 Overall Show Rating: 35

SPW Pro Wrestling 31 Preview Below is the preview for SPW Pro Wrestling 31... Now that the Summer Super Tournament is done, the grapplers of Southern Pro Wrestling are focussing on a new set of goals and challenges as they jostle for supremacy in the most competitive fight league in the world! Fresh off of his surprise victory in the Summer Super Tournament, Tetsuyuki Ishibashi is looking ahead to Octoberfest where he will face World Champion Joe Boone. However, in winning the tournament, Ishibashi and his partner in The Kuroki Boys, Masao Kobayashi, lost their tag team titles to The Faithful's Thomas Appleseed and Austyn Taylor, when the challengers took advantage of Ishibashi taking part in his 2nd gruelling match of the night to win the belts on night 1 of the event. At SPW Pro Wrestling 31, The Kuroki Boys are going back for the tag straps, and this time Ishibashi will be fresh- can The Kuroki Boys win back the belts and build some much needed momentum for Ishibashi as he approaches the biggest match in is career, or will The Faithful continue their impressive rise in SPW? Perry Bryant was the man who lost in the final to Ishibashi, and has once again been denied a World Title shot at the final hurdle. This has become a regular occurrence for Bryant, who has been desperate for a chance for the belt since January when Joe Boone chose instead to put his title on the line against El Espiritu due to the fact that the Mexican Sensation was willing to put his mask on the line against the Champion in order to get the shot. In that Title vs. Mask match, Boone retained his title and took El Espiritu's mask, thanks to the interference of a bitter Perry Bryant. When the unmasked El Espiritu returned to SPW after a couple of months off (now known as Emilio Suarez), he immediately went after Bryant to gain some revenge on the man who'd cost him his previous identity. This all came to a head on the 4th of July, when Suarez took a pinfall victory over his rival to seemingly close the issue. However, Bryant decided he was not finished with Suarez, and following disappointment in the Summer Super Tournament is eager for a chance to prove himself against one of the top stars in SPW, putting out a challenge for Suarez to face him one more time, which Suarez has duly accepted. Joe Boone was able to retain his World Title yet again at SPW Summer Super Tournament Night 2 against Levi Andrews as the war between The New Alliance and The Alliance rages on. Ever since the split in the original Alliance took place, both sides have been trying to add to their ranks, with Boone recruiting Spike Morgan to join the New Alliance while Levi Andrews managed to add Leroy Disco to The Alliance. Now finally, we will see all involved go at it in a major 6-man tag affair, as Boone, Morgan and Nathan Hayes face Andrews, Disco and Friedrich Herzog! Two feuds that have been bubbling away for a little while now are coming together for an explosive mixed tag team match when Dustin David & Melinda Bell take on La Oscuridad & Diana Gosselin. Bell has retained her Women's Title in successive matches against Gosselin, albeit in less than convincing circumstances, firstly by pinning Gosselin despite the challenger having her foot on the rope at the time, and then by getting disqualified after seeing red in their most recent encounter. Meanwhile, Dustin David and La Oscuridad have met each other twice in recent months, with La Oscuridad picking up the win at SPW Summer Super Tournament Night 2 after using a foreign object. Further singles encounters appear to be in the future for both these feuds, but for now they collide here. On top of all of this, there is set to be action featuring former World Champion, Daniel Loiselle, former Tag Team Champions, The Chivalry, a rematch between Danny Cool and Bernie Hughes and much more as SPW is firmly on the road to Octoberfest! Full Card SPW Tag Team Title Match- The Faithful © vs. The Kuroki Boys Emilio Suarez vs. Perry Bryant The New Alliance (Joe Boone, Nathan Hayes & Spike Morgan) vs. The Alliance (Levi Andrews, Friedrich Herzog & Leroy Disco) Daniel Loiselle vs. Carl Hackney Consuelo Montero vs. Ryo Matsuda Dustin David & Melinda Bell vs. La Oscuridad & Diana Gosselin Danny Cool vs. Bernie Hughes Scott Levesque vs. Big Z No Nonsense vs. The Chivalry

<p>SPW Summer Super Tournament 1922 Night 2 Aftermath</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Aftermath</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> There had been much debate between Don Loomis, Frank Norris and Jay Lutter about the outcome of the tournament and whether booking Daniel Loiselle and Emilio Suarez to go to a time limit draw in the opener was a bit of a swerve on the audience. Norris was not a fan of it, arguing that they had advertised a tournament final, but Lutter argued that they still got one, it just wasn't perhaps the final that anybody was expecting. Whatever the case, the Suarez/Loiselle encounter became the 2nd best match in company history with a rating of 52, as these two men continued to deliver in the ring. </p><p> </p><p> The main event, which saw Tetsuyuki Ishibashi take a surprise win in the Summer Super Tournament, did not deliver quite as strongly as management had hoped for. In fairness, this was Ishibashi's first main event match (save for some multi man encounters in the past) and his longest singles match yet. The contest wasn't just a proving ground for Ishibashi however, and the fact that the match, while perfect serviceable, didn't quite hit the level hoped for, was just as much a reflection on Perry Bryant as his opponent. </p><p> </p><p> Speaking of Ishibashi, management were concerned with his behaviour during the night, as his attitude towards his fellow pros was awful. They had never had any issues with him until the night and so they hoped that this could just be put down to pre match nerves, but having just give him a major victory in attempt to turn him into a bone fide main event player, it wasn't encouraging. </p><p> </p><p> The Loiselle/Suarez match was equalled in terms of quality, by another very good encounter between Dustin David and La Oscuridad. The chemistry between the two was so high that even though the importance of their matches had been nowhere near the level of some others, their ratings were amazing. The problem remained however, that Jay Lutter simply did not see the creative upside of either man and was struggling for inspiration when it came to taking either up to the next level.</p>
