Awesome job so far! Really liking this.

A couple backstage notes before the show: - Bach has started trimming the fat of the roster and the following employees have been released: Brownsville Brawler, Clinton Jarret, The New England Patriot, and DAVE Invader. Sammy Bach says this is all a part of his plan to breathe new life into DAVID and nothing personal to those affected. - Lumberjack Terry got into a heated argument with a fan outside of the arena and had to be restrained before he made things physical. Sammy Bach dealt with this in private. Terry was said to be in better spirits after his conversation with Bach. - Thimbleby Langton has gotten a lot of heat with the rest of the locker room after pulling a tasteless rib on everyone backstage. Sammy Bach dealt with this in private. - Paul Steadyfast is still out for 10 more days due to the torn pectoral he suffered from a botched move at Christmas With The Devil. Episode #9 Live From The Ministry in Queens, NY! Friday, Week 1, March 2022 Attendance: 1,000 (Sold Out!) 56,444 viewers on East Coast Today PRE-SHOW Bad Reputation defeated The Brodels [29] Dennis Driver defeats Zippy Deverell [35] Joey Rush defeats Eiichi Umehara [43] The show opens up with the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins. Hustler D and Joker the Pimp welcome us to the show. They hype the happenings at Counter Culture and we see a highlight video showing the events of the history making PPV. Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg are out first to another sold out crowd, ready for the evening. Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg enter the ring and address the fans. Sammy talks about the first sold out show in DAVID’s history and thanks the fans for selling out again tonight and supporting the vision. He says last night they put on the best show they have ever done and it is all thanks to the fans. Out next is Killer Shark, current DAVID Unified Champion. Killer Shark asks Bach about the elephant in the room, Joffy Laine, and his looming title shot. Bach says that the match will take place next week, after Laine finishes his business tonight with Eric Lee, who is cleared to compete after a vicious attack at Counter Culture. Bach says that he will find out who was behind the attack and if it was Laine, he will be stripped of his shot. Joey Morgan is out next and says that he deserves one more shot as Shark and Morgan both have one victory each and the score isn’t settled until he walks away with the title. Shady K is out now before Bach can respond. Shady says that he is tired of waiting for his opportunity and is going to take action. Bach tells all four men to calm down and wait until after the match between Shark and Laine next week and he will announce a new opportunity to become the new number one contender for a title opportunity at March Into Battle. He says he will not just hand out title shots if they are not earned. We now go to commercials. [70] Fumihiro Ota vs. Lumberjack Jeff (w/ Lumberjack Terry) In a bout that had good heat but sub-par wrestling, Fumihiro Ota defeated Lumberjack Jeff in 6:02 by pinfall with a Ninja Strike. Ota is becoming a workhorse for DAVID and it really shows each week in his performances, whether he is on the pre-show or the main card. The Lumberjacks also need to find a groove soon as they seem to have become lost in the shuffle since Bach has been focused on elevating the tag team scene in DAVID. [36] Winner: Fumihiro Ota We are backstage now and there is an escalating incident spiraling out of control between The Good Ol’ Boys and Mad Dog Macy. Macy says there has been a misunderstanding and that he is sorry and doesn’t want any trouble. The Good Ol’ Boys tell Macy to find a partner and they can settle it in the ring. If he doesn’t find a partner, they will just fight him two on one. Macy leaves the scene distraught. [59] Atlas vs. Alex Rodman In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Atlas drew with Alex Rodman in 6:30 when the referee lost control and stopped the match. Rodman and Atlas have reached a breaking point and it is evident here as the two hit a stalemate in this match. Sammy Bach came out to announce that he has had enough of these two and they will settle it next week in a Last Man Standing match, but they must settle their differences next week and move on. [46] No Winner: Referee Stoppage Doug Peak and Henry Lee are backstage with Dharma Gregg. Lee says that Kurt Laramee got lucky at Counter Culture, but he won’t be lucky when Peak gets his rematch. Lee says that he wants the match to take place next week, because they are already tired of waiting for the title to come back home. Peak starts throwing things around in the backstage area in a fit of rage as Lee riles him up about the situation with Laramee. Laramee is in the frame now and accepts the match. He says that once he is done with Peak next week, he will simply just move on, poking fun at a previous promo Lee and Peak cut on Laramee. Laramee grabs the briefcase full of money from Lee’s hands now and says it belongs to him. He says next week’s match will be for the cash AND a shot at the title at March Into Battle. Peak and Lee are fuming as Laramee walks off with the Brass Knuckles Championship and the briefcase. [53] Bad Blood are out in the ring and it is filled with balloons. Nate Johnson says we are here to recognize the greatest tag team in the entire history of DAVE, The McWade Brothers. They all bid farewell to Dallas as his last match will forever be remembered at Back In Black. Dallas says even though he’s not retiring as one half of the tag team champions, he is still going out as one of the toughest SOB’s in the history of wrestling. Dean cries in this emotional moment and doesn’t say anything during the segment, but as it is ending he gives Dallas the biggest hug. [45] Mad Dog Macy & Chris Caulfield vs. The Good Ol’ Boys In a superb match, Mad Dog Macy and Chris Caulfield defeated The Good Ol’ Boys in 9:40 when Chris Caulfield pinned Wooton Fitzpaine with a Danger Drop. Mad Dog Macy was the weakest link, struggling to keep up with everyone else’s in-ring performance. The crowd popped huge when Caulfield made his debut in DAVID. The Hardcore American is back home! [56] Winners: Mad Dog Macy & Chris Caulfield The Bone Crushers are out and thank Dallas for his contributions to the wrestling community over the years. They call it a hell of a ride, but the show must go on. The Bone Crushers say they are looking for a new challenge. Before they can finish talking, an old familiar entrance theme blares over the PA system and it’s The New Wave! The crowd cannot believe it! Former four-time DAVE Tag Team Champions are in the house, and they are fired up by this sold-out crowd. Three surprise debuts back-to-back! This is huge news for DAVID! One Man Army takes to the microphone first and asks The Bone Crushers if they are happy to see The New Wave. He says they have been waiting for this moment to come back in and take DAVID the [censored] over! He says they are back to claim the titles they never lost. The Bone Crushers try and say they won’t be handing out a title shot to a team that just got here, but One Man Army says it is literally written into their contracts that they get a guaranteed title shot since they never lost their titles to begin with. The Bone Crushers are livid and tell The New Wave they came ready to fight. The four men face off in the middle of the ring, with security keeping a close eye on the situation, as we go to commercial break. [67] Joffy Laine vs. Eric Lee In an exceptional match, Joffy Laine defeated Eric Lee in 10:13 by pinfall with a Death Spiral. After the match, Killer Shark is out and has a stare down with Laine to end the show and hype up the main event for next week. [76] Winner: Joffy Laine Final Show Rating: 68

@willr0ckthank you for creating this amazing content for the community! Your work is stunning!

A couple backstage notes before the show: - The wrongful termination lawsuit that Knuckles had launched against DAVID has succeeded. The judge has awarded him $36,000 in damages. Sammy Bach has refused to comment on this. - Atlas, Joey Morgan, and Kurt Laramee caused heat backstage when a mean-spirited rib they pulled on Clinton Jarret nearly led to a fight breaking out. Sammy seemed really annoyed that this behavior has continued and instead of handling the way that he had been privately, he decided to scold the three in front of the rest of the roster. - Shady K and Nate Johnson got into an argument following a rental car incident. Sammy told Shady to simply repay Johnson for the damages and he agreed. - Peter Valentine showed up extremely late to the show. Sammy pulled him into the office and apparently laid into him about setting examples for the roster backstage and not feeding into the bad behaviors he is trying to break. - Doug Peak was reportedly poking fun at Mad Dog Macy for “forgetting” to pay for his portion of the bar tab last night after the show and decided to tell everyone the drinks were on Macy after the show tonight due to this. Macy thought it was funny and agreed to do so. - Paul Steadyfast is still out for 16 more days due to the torn pectoral he suffered from a botched move at Christmas With The Devil. Live From The McGaw Arena in New York, NY! Saturday, Week 4, February 2022 Attendance: 5,000 (SOLD OUT!) 2,645 viewers on Binge On-Demand PRE-SHOW The pre-show served as a 30 minute pre-taped show, hosted by Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg, breaking down each of the matches and the stories revolving around them. The show opens up with the song “Back ‘My Generation” by The Who. Hustler D and Joker the Pimp welcome us to Back Counter Culture! They run down the stacked card and are about to send us to the ring for the battle royal, but there is a situation arising backstage. The cameras shift to the backstage area, where Eric Lee is shown in a pool of blood and knocked unconscious. The doctors are swarming the scene in a panic. Shady K is shown by Lee’s side, as we go back to the ring for the first match. 25 Man Battle Royal Winner Receives Future Title Shot This match was a great way to showcase local talent in the New York area, as well as the talent that aren’t on TV each week that are employed by DAVID. Joffy’s last minute entrance in the match received a HUGE pop and was a great way to start the show. Unfortunately, the match itself was a terrible match, and Joffy Laine won the battle royal in 15:10. The other members of the final four were Shady K, and The Lumberjacks. Shady K was the final elimination. Lumberjack Jeff got the most eliminations over the course of the match. The great performance of Joffy Laine really stood out. Shady K is getting better at his gimmick. Shady K almost had this match in the bag. A fun fact here is this was a nice way to continue to build the Lee, Shady, and Laine and further Shady’s newfound mean streak. [39] Winner: Joffy Laine We go backstage where Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg are bedside with Eric Lee. They are trying to find out who did this to him, but he is of no help as he is still not fully conscious. Joffy Laine is seen walking in the backstage area now and Shady K is not finished with him. Shady runs up and accuses Joffy of the Eric Lee attack, but Laine denies it. Laine says he can’t worry about Shady and Lee right now as he now has a title shot to worry about. He asks Shady why he would attack Lee from behind, when all he wanted was a no glitz and glamor old fashioned match in the first place. Shady asks if Laine didn’t do it, then who did? Shady says he will keep an eye on Laine while he tends to his friend. [67] A Good Ol’ Ass Beatin’ Invitational The Good Ol’ Boys vs. Brooklyn's Finest In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, The Good Ol’ Boys defeated Brooklyn’s Finest in 7:50 when Thimbleby Langton pinned Freedom Eagle with an Iowa Harvest. This was a great match between the four competitors and a good way to showcase the continued dominance of The Good Ol’ Boys. Brooklyn’s Finest received a huge pop when they made their entrance, being the hometown boys. After the match, The Good Ol’ Boys got on the microphone and teased the crowd that Bach should come out and officially sign Brooklyn’s Finest, causing the crowd to pop. After the initial tease, The Good Ol’ Boys taunted Brooklyn’s Finest for their losing efforts. [52] Winners: The Good Ol' Boys A video package, narrated by Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg, breaks down the history between Atlas and Rodman. The feud started three weeks ago when both Rodman and Atlas suffered big losses at Back In Black. There was a mutual understanding that the two just wanted to face off the following week in a match so one of them could move on from a tough loss. The next two weeks we would see Rodman in a losing effort, but after the second loss, Rodman beat Atlas down in the middle of the ring, challenging for match number three to settle the score. Atlas and Rodman look to tear each other apart in this match and the hardcore rules will certainly ensure there is plenty of violence to go around for everyone. [60] Hardcore Rules Atlas vs. Alex Rodman In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Alex Rodman defeated Atlas in 6:02 by pinfall with a Slam Dunk. Everyone felt like this was the last match between these two, going into the match, but after watching this car crash full of weapons and blood, we can all agree that there is still something to gain from both men here. Atlas still looked like a monster coming out of the match, but was visibly angry at the loss and not looking to shake hands after this match. He threw a tantrum at ringside while Rodman celebrated with the crowd. [48] Winner: Alex Rodman A video package, narrated by Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg, breaks down the history between Nate Johnson and Mad Dog Macy. Originally stemming from the second episode of Highway To The Danger Zone, where Mad Dog Macy ran in to save The Lumberjacks from a beatdown by Bad Blood. Two weeks later, Johnson and Marco Acevedo brutally attacked Macy in the ring after his match with Doug Peak. The following week, Macy officially challenged Johnson to a match at Back In Black, but was beaten down by all four members of Bad Blood after Johnson accepted. Nate Johnson successfully defeated Macy in their first match at Back In Black. The week after Back In Black, Johnson and Acevedo were ringside during a tag match featuring Macy, and eventually cost him the match. The following week, Johnson and Acevedo brutally attacked Dennis Driver after their match together and Macy came in to make the save, with Johnson and Acevedo fleeing the scene. The next week, Macy cut a promo on Johnson, but once again, Johnson and Acevedo would humiliate Macy. They cut the cord to his microphone and when he chased them, he eventually got knocked out cold with a hammer being used by Acevedo. Last night, Johnson was blindsided by Macy, after his match. Acevedo and Johnson eventually got the upper-hand and utilized the numbers to their advantage in a brutal in-ring beatdown. [52] I Quit Match Mad Dog Macy vs. Nate Johnson (w/ Marco Acevedo) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Nate Johnson defeated Mad Dog Macy in an I Quit Match in 7:43 after Macy submitted. Mad Dog Macy is getting better at his gimmick. This felt like the end of the feud with the gimmick match set up and the second PPV encounter. After the match, Macy stuck out his hand to shake hands with Johnson. After much hesitation, Johnson went in to shake hands, but quickly pulled his hand back, ran it through his sweaty hair and flicked it in Macy’s face. He smirked as him and Acevedo made their way up the ramp. [46] Winner: Nate Johnson A video package, narrated by Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg, breaks down the history between Doug Peak and Kurt Laramee. Two weeks ago, Laramee came to the aid of Joey Rush during a post-challenge beat down, and proceeded to become the first person in DAVID history to bodyslam Doug Peak. Henry Lee fled with the briefcase full of money, leaving Peak behind. Laramee then challenged Doug Peak to a match at Back In Black for the Brass Knuckles Championship. Last night, Peak cut a promo on Laramee. Later on in the evening, Laramee lost a match to Nate Johnson due to interference from Doug Peak and Henry Lee. The two brawled all the way up the ramp and into the backstage area. [54] DAVID Brass Knuckles Championship Kurt Laramee vs. Doug Peak (w/ Henry Lee) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Kurt Laramee defeated Doug Peak in 7:48 by pinfall with a Switchblade Powerslam. Kurt Laramee wins the DAVID Brass Knuckles Championship! Henry Lee did amazing work at ringside. There is almost certain to be at least one more match in this feud with Peak looking to regain his title. [48] Winner: Kurt Laramee A video package, narrated by Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg, breaks down the history between The Bone Crushers and The McWade Brothers. The night after Back In Black, where The Bone Crushers were victorious in defeating The Good Ol’ Boys in a table match, The Bone Crushers challenged The McWade Brothers to a match. The McWade Brothers said that The Bone Crushers could have a non-title match as they weren’t going to just hand out a title shot to them. The following week, The Bone Crushers defeated The McWade Brothers cleanly, but after the match, The McWade Brothers assaulted The Bone Crushers. The McWade Brothers wanted a re-match the next week, but The Bone Crushers wanted the titles to be on the line this time. The next week, The McWade Brothers attacked The Bone Crushers during their entrance to soften them up before the match, and then proceeded to defeat them to retain the tag titles. Last night, The Bone Crushers challenged The McWade Brothers to a TLC match at Counter Culture for a third bout in the feud. [66] DAVID Tag Team Championship TLC Match The Bone Crushers vs. The McWade Brothers In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, The Bone Crushers defeated The McWade Brothers in a TLC match in 10:18 when Julius Moor retrieved the DAVID Tag Team titles. The Bone Crushers win the DAVID Tag Team Championship! Both teams showed excellent chemistry when teaming together. Dallas McWade broke his finger during this match. With the finger break and Dallas’ retirement looming overhead, this feud feels like it is fizzling out. If the feud continues any longer, it is sure to end before March Into Battle. This match was unfortunately the worst of the three matches they have had thus far, but still a good showing for both teams. [58] Winners: The Bone Crushers A video package, narrated by Sammy Bach and Dharma Gregg, breaks down the history between Killer Shark and Joey Morgan. Three weeks ago, Shark was cutting a promo about his dominance in DAVID since arriving and to gloat with his newly won Championship, when Morgan interrupted. Morgan was given a non-title match with Shark in the main event of the evening. Morgan barely got the victory over Shark with a quick roll up pin that Shark did not see coming. The next week, Morgan fought Eric Lee, in a winning effort, where Shark was at the announcer’s desk. After the match, Shark assaulted Morgan. The following week, Shark and Morgan had a face-to-face interview where the two agreed to meet at Counter Culture. Last night, Morgan and Joffy Laine defeated Killer Shark and Eric Lee in the main event of the evening. After the match, the four men brawled at ringside with a slew of weapons at their disposal. [67] DAVID Unified Championship Killer Shark vs. Joey Morgan In an exceptional match, Killer Shark defeated Joey Morgan in 9:56 by pinfall with a Big Bite. Killer Shark makes defense number one of the DAVID Unified Championship. Killer Shark and Joey Morgan have great chemistry and it showed in their performance. Joey Morgan is getting better at his gimmick. The continuity on this one is up in the air as Morgan lost the match but is clearly not done with his chase for the title, but Shark has a guaranteed date with Joffy Laine coming up with the DAVID Unified Championship on the line. [69] Winner: Killer Shark Final Show Rating: [65] Prediction Results: SMW88 - 4/7 DAVEFAN95 - 2/7

A couple backstage notes before the show: - Joey Morgan caused heat with DAVE Invader when he kept being openly critical of his in-ring work. Sammy Bach pulled both men into his office and “handled the situation.” Neither of the men would comment on the actions that took place. - Kurt Laramee almost got into a fight with Julius Moor, after he caused some damage to his rental car and refused to pay for it. Sammy Bach decided to fine Laramee for the damages and he was not happy about the decision. This caused others that are close to Laramee, such as Joey Morgan, Atlas, and Peter Valentine to vocally lash out as well. Julius was pleased with Bach’s decision. - Zippy Deverell & Lumberjack Jeff were reported to have made a mess backstage and did not clean it up, annoying everyone else. Doug Peak ordered Deverell & Jeff to clean up the mess AND buy drinks for everyone after the show. The incident had a positive impact on Deverell & Jeff, who were said to be laughing about the incident after being called out on it. - Paul Steadyfast is still out for 17 more days due to the torn pectoral he suffered from a botched move at Christmas With The Devil.

They give their predictions on who the participants will choose as their partners. They also announce that Counter Culture will kick off with a battle royal, with the winner getting a future title shot on an upcoming episode of Highway To The Danger Zone. The Good Ol’ Boys vs. Dennis Driver & Joey Rush In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, The Good Ol’ Boys defeated Dennis Driver & Joey Rush in 7:33 when Wooton Fitzpaine pinned Joey Rush with an Iowa Harvest. Thimbleby Langton and Joey Rush were off their games in this match. After the match, The Good Ol’ Boys cut a promo about being the most dominant tag team in DAVID right now, but they are being overlooked because the shiny new toys, “The Bone Crushers”, have arrived. They say they should be the ones in the tag team title match tomorrow night. [49] Dharma Gregg is backstage with Doug Peak and Henry Lee. Lee has the briefcase of money and Peak has the Brass Knuckles Championship. Lee addresses Laramee as a fraud and that he cheated last week. He says he doesn’t deserve the cash. Peak asks about Lee leaving him at ringside and Lee deflects the question and continues talking about Laramee. He says Laramee doesn’t deserve a shot at the Brass Knuckles Championship tomorrow night, but after Peak destroys him, they will simply just move on. [53] Shady K vs. Lumberjack Jeff (w/ Lumberjack Terry) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Shady K defeated Lumberjack Jeff in 6:26 by pinfall with a K Killer. This was a great showing from Shady K and gives promise that he will remain a part of the television focus in the future, even though he lost his partner before their push came. After the match, Shady K says that he isn’t busy tomorrow night and says if anyone in the back is man enough, to let him know because he is always ready for a fight. [42] Alex Rodman is backstage with Dharma Gregg and talks about his decision last week on attacking Atlas after the match. He says he knows that he can beat Atlas and wants to prove it to the world. He says that he has a new fire lit beneath him that is going to allow him to prevail this time and that he needs to prove himself to the DAVID fans. Atlas comes into the frame now and tells Rodman that all bets are off tomorrow and he challenges him to a hardcore match. Rodman says that is fine and it doesn’t change the outcome. Atlas tells Rodman that he was starting to gain his respect but all of that is out the window now after the sneak attack. Dharma Gregg’s performance was good in this segment. Even though these two have just had match after match, there is still freshness here with Rodman’s new found confidence and leaves a glimmer of hope for this feud heading into Counter Culture. This segment really helped this storyline along. [55] Kurt Laramee vs. Nate Johnson (w/ Marco Acevedo) Nate Johnson and Marco Acevedo do some pre-match taunting directed towards Mad Dog Macy, hyping their match tomorrow at Counter Culture. Laramee is vicious in this match, looking to blow some steam off before his big match tomorrow night and the pop for him when he comes out to answer the open challenge is massive. In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Nate Johnson defeated Kurt Laramee in 8:35 by pinfall with a Natural Order after Doug Peak and Henry Lee interfered, causing the loss. Laramee is furious after the match and goes after Peak. Johnson is watching on as the violence ensues at ringside and is blindsided by Mad Dog Macy who ran in from the crowd. The scene here is violent as two intense feuds are being driven at the same time here. Marco and Johnson eventually play the numbers game on Macy and leave him laid out in the ring. Peak and Laramee fight all the way up the ramp and into the backstage area. [44] The Bone Crushers are out in the ring that is riddled with tables and chairs and has two ladders set up in the middle on which both men are sitting with microphones. Julius talks about their debut and that from day one they had their eyes set on the DAVID Tag Team Championships. T-Bone Bright says that he knew this time would come and it’s a shame that Dallas has chosen to retire, but come tomorrow he is not going to have a choice after they are through with him. They say the setup tonight in the ring is no coincidence as tomorrow’s match will be contested under TLC rules. The McWade Brothers are out next and continue to taunt the challengers after their loss last week. The Bone Crushers say that they weren't expecting a pre-match attack and that they will be ready tomorrow. No questions asked. [63] Killer Shark & Eric Lee vs. Joey Morgan & Joffy Laine In an exceptional match, Joey Morgan and Joffy Laine defeated Killer Shark and Eric Lee in 10:22 when Joey Morgan pinned Eric Lee with an Empire Spiral. This match did a great job in showcasing all four men before their big matches tomorrow night. After the match, a brawl between the four men spills out at ringside and there is no shortage of weapons being used. The crowd is super hot for the end of the show and begin a chant for “Counter Culture” as the show goes off the air. [68] Final Show Rating: [61]

Awesome job on all these custom renders! I’ve always wanted to try my hand at this. Do you guys all use the same programs or can this be achieved with any of the 3d modeling programs?

A couple backstage notes before the show: - A clique of Atlas, Dharma Gregg, and Kurt Laramee were being jerks backstage, first provoking and then physically attacking The New England Patriot, leading to a fight that had to be broken up by other workers. The New England Patriot was very upset at the outcome of this incident and has requested a meeting with Bach next week to discuss but was allowed to go home for the evening. - Rafe Sashay caused an incident when he antagonized Lumberjack Terry so much that a fight almost broke out between the two. Bach decided to terminate Sashay after just having an altercation with a fan. - Paul Steadyfast is still out for 24 more days due to the torn pectoral he suffered from a botched move at Christmas With The Devil. Live From Buffalo, NY!

Hustler D and Joker the Pimp welcome us to the show. They run down tonight’s preview and we waste little time as we are getting some tag team action right out of the gate. The Good Ol’ Boys vs. The Brodels In a decent match, The Good Ol’ Boys defeated The Brodels in 7:58 when Thimbleby Langton pinned Jaxon Duke with an Iowa Harvest. Jaxon Duke was the weak link, struggling to keep up with everyone else’s in-ring performance. Wooton Fitzpaine is getting better at his gimmick. [44] Doug Peak and Henry Lee are out now, with the briefcase full of money and the Brass Knuckles Championship. They call Joey Rush pathetic and say his attempt was worse than Dennis Driver’s. Before they can get any further, Kurt Laramee’s music plays. He says he is here for the body slam challenge. Lee tries to back out of the challenge, but Peak tells Laramee to bring it on. Laramee gets in the ring and in the face of Lee, but Peak tells him to focus on him and not Lee. Laramee turns his attention to Peak and attempts to lift him. Laramee is successful in body slamming Peak and the crowd goes wild! Lee cannot believe his eyes and steals the briefcase before Laramee can grab it. Lee retreats to the backstage area with the briefcase in hand, and leaves Peak behind in the ring with Laramee. Laramee challenges Peak to a Brass Knuckles title match at Counter Culture as we go to commercial break. [44] Alex Rodman vs. Atlas In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Atlas defeated Alex Rodman in 5:36 by pinfall with a Kronus Bomb. After the match, Atlas now goes in for the handshake from Rodman to show respect. There is a hesitation from Rodman at first, and then he puts his hand out. Just as the two men shake hands, Rodman starts swinging on an unsuspecting Atlas. Rodman hits Atlas with huge lefts and rights and lays him out in the center of the ring. Rodman tells Atlas, “one more time” as the crowd chants with an agreement to one more match. We now go to commercial break. [46] Mad Dog Macy is backstage with Dharma Gregg. He says he is tired of Nate Johnson poking his head into everyone’s business and using his goons against everyone. He wants Johnson to fight him like a man, with no outside interference and no weapons. The microphone keeps cutting out so it is hard to hear everything Macy is saying after this point, but as the camera zooms out we see Johnson coaxing Acevedo into cutting the cord of the microphone. Macy is furious with this and a chase ensues between Macy, Acevedo, and Johnson. Johnson stops and screams “NOW!” Without hesitation, Acevedo spins around and hits Macy right between the eyes with a hammer. Macy is out cold now as Johnson continues the assault. Security gets involved and breaks it up so the doctors can tend to Macy. Johnson says Macy is not in his league and he will not be giving him a match, but instead he is going to host an open challenge next week and Macy is not allowed to answer it Mad Dog Macy came across very well in this segment. [47] Joffy Laine vs. Shady K In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, Shady K defeated Joffy Laine in 9:40 by pinfall with a K Killer following interference from Eric Lee. Eric Lee got in the ring after Shady’s victory and proceeded to beat down Joffy Laine. Shady decides to join in on the assault and now it is a two on one affair as the show goes to break. [60] Dharma Gregg is sitting down with Killer Shark and Joey Morgan in the backstage area for their face-to-face interview. Gregg starts with Morgan and wants to know how he is feeling after the vicious attack last week from Killer Shark. Morgan tells Gregg it’s a part of the game and tells Shark he better have worse in store for him or he will soon be walking away with the title. Morgan tells Shark he has DAVID’s best interest in mind and knows Shark is just here for the money and fame. It’s Shark's turn now as he laughs at Morgan’s last comment.

He was said to be in very good spirits and highly optimistic on the direction DAVID is taking. - It was officially announced that Matt Sparrow did suffer a concussion in his last match with The Good Ol’ Boys and will be out of action for over a year. The locker room and staff are all said to be very sad about this news. - Alex Rodman is now fully recovered from his cracked tailbone. - Lumberjack Terry got into a heated argument with a fan outside of the arena and had to be restrained before he made things physical. Terry was summoned to Sammy Bach’s office shortly afterwards. When Terry came back out of the office he was in better spirits and even sought after the fan he erupted on to apologize. - Joey Rush pulled a great rib on the entire locker room that had everyone laughing. The atmosphere backstage was lifted due to this. - Paul Steadyfast is still out for 31 more days due to the torn pectoral he suffered from a botched move at Christmas With The Devil. Live From Pittsburgh, PA! Friday, Week 2, February 2022 Attendance: 835 50,211 viewers on East Coast Today PRE-SHOW Fumihiro Ota defeats Jaxon Duke (w/ Haistings Rage) [36] Shady K defeats The New England Patriot [40] The Good Ol’ Boys defeat the Lumberjacks [52] The show opens up with the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins. Hustler D and Joker the Pimp welcome us to the show. They break down last week’s episode of Highway To The Danger Zone and the events that transpired. After an impressive victory last week, Joey Morgan is set to be in action again tonight, but with Killer Shark’s rage seeming out of control after the loss, there is sure to be some repercussions for Morgan tonight. The announcers hype The Bone Crushers taking on The McWade Brothers tonight. They talk about Eric Lee’s impressive debut and disposing of Joffy Laine in the manner that he did, putting over Laine’s impressive abilities and run thus far. They move on to hype Atlas taking on Alex Rodman tonight, telling the viewers at home to pay close attention to this match and not to sleep on it. They go over Matt Sparrow’s devastating injury last week and the mind games that Bad Blood was playing on Mad Dog Macy throughout the match. They hype another bodyslam challenge set for this evening and ask the viewers who they think is going to be the one to slam Brass Knuckles Champion, Doug Peak. Doug Peak and Henry Lee make their way to the ring now with the briefcase full of money again. They are back at it with their heel tactics of getting the crowd riled up. Lee tells the crowd it is now time for the main event and they boo heavily. He says Peak should be main eventing all of the DAVID shows based on his Brass Knuckles Championship reign alone. He reminds the crowd that not many other people on the roster can say they are undefeated in DAVID. Joey Rush is out next and says that he remembers watching Doug Peak in the original DAVE and seeing how impressive he was then, but now he just looks pathetic, hanging on when he never really amounted to anything in his career. He points out that after 24 years, Peak only has 8 tag team title reigns, a tournament win, and a mid card title currently dangling off of his shoulder. He tells Peak that he could’ve been so much more, but once his brother left him in the dust, he was truly forgotten. Peak gets in Rush’s face and tells him to lift him. Lee screams at Rush as he attempts to lift the big man, but he fails too. Rush tries one more time, but he still can’t budge Peak. Rush gives up as Peak laughs off the attempt but Lee screams at Peak to finish him. Lee asks Peak if he is going to let some nobody talk to him that way. Rush attempts to leave the ring, but Peak lifts him up and absolutely destroys him with a massive House of Horrors. The crowd boos this cowardly move and Lee continues to push Peak to continue the assault. The scene becomes difficult to watch as Peak tosses Rush from one side of the ring to the other, while hitting him repeatedly with the briefcase, but soon the crowd erupts and out comes Kurt Laramee for the save! Lee and Peak flee the ring and look on as Laramee calls for help in the ring while tending to Joey Rush. [40] Nate Johnson (w/ Marco Acevedo) vs. Dennis Driver In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Nate Johnson defeated Dennis Driver in 7:32 by pinfall with a Natural Order. Nate is really starting to come out of his shell lately, blooming into a cocky group leader. After the match, Johnson and Acevedo attack Dennis. The two on one attack goes on for a little bit before Mad Dog Macy is out for the save. The crowd is heavily behind Macy as he swings wildly at Johnson and Acevedo. The two members of Bad Blood flee as Macy goes back to check on Dennis. [38] Alex Rodman vs. Atlas In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Atlas defeated Alex Rodman in 6:07 by pinfall with a Kronus Bomb. Rodman extended his hand to Atlas after the match. While Atlas never shook his hand, you could tell there was a growing mutual respect between the two after the match. Before Atlas got all the way backstage, Rodman challenged him to round two, next week. Atlas accepts the challenge. [47] Joffy Laine is backstage with Dharma Gregg and talks about his match last week with Eric Lee. He says that he underestimated the sheer dominance of Lee and that he won’t make that mistake twice. Laine truly believes Lee just got the better of him last night and if there is a next time, he will be ready. He says next week, he will be hosting an open challenge against anyone that steps up in the locker room to get himself back on the right track. Laine says he did not come here for an easy journey and knew the competition in DAVID would be fierce, but he has something that no one else does, and that is heart. He says he will always get back up and fight, even after he loses. Laine is getting better at his gimmick. This segment was straight fire. [74] The McWade Brothers vs. The Bone Crushers In a superb match, The Bone Crushers defeated the McWade Brothers in 10:16 when T-Bone Bright pinned Dean McWade with a Quarterback Sack. Dean McWade was really off his game. [59] After the match, all four members of Bad Blood beat down The Bone Crushers.The McWade Brothers are livid that The Bone Crushers got the better of them in this match. They challenge The Bone Crushers to a re-match next week. The Bone Crushers accept, but they want the titles on the line. The match is set for next week. [57] Joey Morgan vs. Eric Lee In an exceptional match, Joey Morgan defeated Eric Lee in 10:16 by pinfall with an Empire Spiral. Killer Shark sat at the announcer’s desk for the majority of this match and worked as a distraction for Morgan. Morgan got into Killer Shark’s face when the action spilled outside of the ring and that is when Killer Shark kept a closer eye on the match. Morgan was able to pull off the win, even after a few “accidental” slip ups that were attributed to Killer Shark and his ringside antics. After the match, Shark rolled into the ring and attacked Morgan as the show went off the air. [66] Final Show Rating: [64]
