Really enjoyed this! Great step up in the writing and presentation from show 1, I loved the vibe, and I loved even more that I didn't predict everything correctly! Excited to see Dia de los Guerreros!

CGC TITLE BOUT WRESTLING IN CALGARY FOR TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT! STACKED CARD FOR THIS SUNDAY! #1 Contender's Match to the CGC World Championship Blockbuster vs Gargantuan vs Intrepid Ian Identity vs Marc Dubois CGC Canadian Championship Match Flash vs Skip Beau (C) Faith's New Client vs Chucky Dorrance Alexander Robinson & Sterling Whitlock vs The Montreal Mafia Drake Young vs Stevie Grayson

Need rules for a PGHW game in the default database, as I am really hungry for a Puro company but it seems like it would be too easy to have great shows but they're the one company I am leaning towards (huge fan of the Ring Generals and Bussho Makiguchi). I hope the terrible structure of the last sentence highlights my predicament.

VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 159, Tuesday, Week 4 of June 2018 Well, for the first time there was no harm in me not covering CGC PPV's as no titles changed, and nothing major happen- oh, Alex DeColt got involved physically in a segment? Alex, one of the like 10 guys in the history of the promotion who are also fairly big deals in the USA DeColt? Well I'll be damned. Anyway, CGC is officially pretty good now as we've established the last couple of weeks, so maybe if they stay good for a couple of years they get a TV deal where any person watches their shows instead of getting a recap here and looking up the matches on totally legal sites. SEGMENT 1: Alex DeColt starts the show. He says that before addressing the elephant in the room, he has a show to run, which is why he announces next week's main event: Blockbuster vs Gargantuan vs Intrepid Ian Identity vs Marc Dubois in a #1 contender's match to the World title: winner goes to Ultimate Showdown! While this is huge, the crowd doesn't even react with the proper fire, eagerly awaiting what he has to say about Atherton... and what he does say is that he is suspended for this week, with the show being in Jamie's hometown. Alex says he gave Jamie this week to think hard. Because he wants Jamie to come out next week in front of these people, in front of DeColt country, and apologize for the dumbest decision of his career, and explain himself and his rationale, and at the end of the day, to be able to look at Alex in the eye so that Alex can tell him he's never wrestling a match ever again, and especially not for a brash upstart who is in way over his head. Which brings him to his main reason for coming out: to call out Adrian Garcia. Adrian, a bit shocked, leaves his headset at the announce table and hesitantly enters the ring. Alex asks Adrian how isn't he tired already. For almost 15 years he has foiled the DeColt family, and he stooped to incredibly dishonorable and sometimes outright criminal lows, but it was always for money and glory. He says he saw Adrian encourage Jamie to target Alex, and he doesn't understand where this thirst for revenge comes from. Adrian says that he obviously never wanted to do this, and when he was asked for advice he merely implied that Jamie should target a top wrestler in the company, which Alex obviously is not. Adrian respects that the Elite lost, and his talents are recognized and he gets a check every week to commentate. If Alex thinks that an opportunist such as Jamie isn't capable of making his own decisions, then he is doomed to either be consistently targeted, or fire one of his most talented wrestlers before he makes money from him. Adrian perhaps relishes his own booking power here, as he gets the mic drop and leaves a perplexed Alex in the ring. Segment Rating: 72 MATCH 1: Ant-Man vs Clause Reed vs Curtis Mobstar vs Hugh Ancrie. An opinion I've deeply held for a while, after seeing so many matches I booked in DAVE not be as good as I hoped: Four ways are superior to three way matches. You get the same mini singles that can have guys go all out for a couple minutes, but without the odd man out that just annoyingly sits out resting in three way matches. So it's no surprise that this was excellent. These are all good signings who mess well together in simple ways. Reed is good when in the ring with people better than him, and at this point I am comfortable naming Mobstar the underrated workhorse of the company. This was wrestled at a frantic pace but didn't have any of those convoluted tower of doom or triple team spots. Can't really get into detail describing it but it really stole the show. Ancrie got Reed in the Crying Game and got the win and his second straight title shot in an excellent match. Segment Rating: 63 SEGMENT 2: Hugh immediately calls out Skip who was on commentary but I didn't mention during the match. He gives Skip props for his "gutsy" win at In The Company Of Legends, a win he's not interesting in minimizing. However, he has a second shot he doesn't intend in letting slip, and he believes his sentiment about the Canadian title being a faceless championship rings true. So he went to a pissed off and hurt Alex DeColt, and proposed a stipulation: Whoever gets the Canadian Championship at Ultimate Showdown will decide on a special gimmick that accompanies the title, and the match itself at the PPV will be special, despite the fact he would love to get revenge on equal grounds to the first match. Skip just lifts his championship up and stares at Hugh, perhaps starting to be tired at being seen as a guy that just pulls out victories instead of a great wrestler. Segment Rating: 55 MATCH 2: Brett Fraser vs Philippe LeGrenier. This was a classic match we've seen hundreds of times even in just CGC. Veteran roughing up arrogant pretty boy. This was fine for about 8 minutes, until Drake Young got involved and Philippe got the win by rolling up Brett with a handful of tights. Segment Rating: 44 MATCH 3: Alexander Robinson & Sterling Whitlock vs Quibble The Clown & Whippy The Clown. I think this is an unofficial #1 contender's match but it wasn't made clear during the broadcast. Regardless, it was a blast. Quibble was allowed to shine in the tag space with Whippy playing more chickenshit heel getting chopped by Sterling and Robinson whenever he came in, which is an interesting dynamic considering Quibble's deal is short term. Regardless, Quibble cooking was their downfall, as he stopped the clown antics to showboat for a second and that allowed Robinson to get Whitlock in with the hot tag, at which point the barrage of offense led to a Whitlock's End (Vertical Spike) for the win. Segment Rating: 60 MATCH 4: Gargantuan vs Lewis Frey. Not much to say about that one, it was a squash. Good to see the guy back though, I get that they don't want him losing and there weren't many babyfaces that can take losses, but I don't know whether that means Dubois will ever lose a match while they feud. Anyway, you know what happened. Segment Rating: 45 SEGMENT 3: Marc Dubois is backstage with Jenny Playmate, his ribs taped up, his posture messed up, and he's essentially being asked to react to Gargantuan's assault on him and his impressive in ring return. Which leads to Marc's most fired up old-school promo in his career. Talking about Gargantuan having no pride attacking a man like that, about settling it in the ring, implying Gargantuan is the physical manifestation of his mental struggles throughout the years, and that whether at 100%, 70%, 1%, at Ultimate Showdown Dubois will give Gargantuan hell because he doesn't back down from the ultimate fight no matter what. He interprets Gargantuan's attack as a challenge, and this is his official acceptance. Says Gargantuan knows where to find him to negotiate the minutiae, perhaps after he's won the title at Ultimate Showdown, and leaves pissed off. Segment Rating: 71 MATCH 5: Joey Poison & Skip Beau vs The Canadian Blondes. An interesting dynamic as the year begun with the Canadian Blondes being pissed off about Joey Poison holding the tag team championships while not being a real tag team wrestler. They put on a barn stormer of a match, very southern with the Blondes channeling their inner Black Hats by having that perfect balance between cutting off the ring and feeling like any second things will go completely wrong and they'll instantly lose the match. CGC's tag team match of the year in my opinion. A lot of cool exchanges, and when Joey got Skip in with the hot tag the crowd actually erupted like they're supposed to. Skip wrecked everything on his way, hit the Flow Down on Flash, and Ozzie flew with a Springboard Headbutt to break up the pin at the last possible moment, then when Joey joined in for the pre-finish brawl some classic shenanigans left to a ref bump and stereo low blows, and Flash hitting a 450 degree splash on Skip for the win. Segment Rating: 64 Overall Rating: 66

Can you get two hours a week out of booking 1. Alt Cverse 2022 CGC which is a nightmare 2. Memetic wrestling? I absolutely adore the company, even running a diary with them in the 2018 version of the mod where they're very weak, but their 2022 version is really testing my boring booking chops.

This is a very stacked card, almost makes me want to get the ol' OLLIE save file out! Predictions Card:Campeonato de Universal OLLIE Title Match- Nicolas Lopez © Vs Extraordinario Jr This is the standard feud the save starts out with, and it's an incredible one between two top luchadors, but there's so many good wrestlers one can't help but pick their "guy" to get the title first. I think HDM or Mr Lucha will beat Extraordinario out, and then he and the entire galactic force will turn tecnico because they're by far the most fun and entertaining group in the company. Marcos Flores & The Freedom Family (Luis Montero Jr w/Agueda Alonso & Tricolor Jr) Vs Hijo Del Mephisto & Evil Intent (Hellspawn 666 & Slayyer) The head honcho of the rudo group will get revenge for January's losses, and Flores vs HDM will be a huge match soon. Phoenix IV Vs El Critico I'm very conflicted here, El Critico is still good and could have filler title challenges but the upper card Rudos in their prime are better, and there's nothing more fancy in old school lucha companies than nepotism. At least both Phoenix IV and Atlantis Jr are excellent talents. Ursula Saez & Velvet Suarez Vs Queens of the Damned (La Hija del Diablo & Queen Amazon) Going with the debut, Ursula is really good too but probably not top tier yet. Laberinto Jr Vs Silver Tiger Silver Tiger is just an excellent luchador. El Hijo de Espada Roja Vs Dragon Americano He's really valuable as a secondary tecnico, he got a big spotlight on him in the last show, I think he's going to be one of your guys and I am excited for it. Blue Phantom Vs Mr Lucha III I love Blue Phantom, he's a great talent, I think his bio is harsh on him. Having said that, Mr Lucha III is the second coming of Pablo Rodriguez as far as complete rudos go. Campeonato de Mexico OLLIE Title Match- Disturbed © w/Julia Alvarez Vs El Pavo Real Don't see the vet overcoming one of the most entertaining midcard rudos in the company, but who knows? El Pavo Real has the CILL pedigree and is solidly charismatic if you want to make another heel a big deal.

CGC TITLE BOUT WRESTLING BACK IN EDMONTON! ROAD TO ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN! In The Company Of Legends was an excellent event, but it created as many questions as it answered: What does Jamie Atherton targeting Alex DeColt mean for his future in the company? Can Marc Dubois withstand Gargantuan, where do the title pictures go from here? This makes the latest edition of Title Bout Wrestling MUST-WATCH, so purchase your tickets today! Champion Collision Joey Poison & Skip Beau vs The Canadian Blondes Gargantuan vs Lewis Frey #1 Contender's Match to the CGC Canadian Championship Ant-Man vs Clause Reed vs Curtis Mobstar vs Hugh Ancrie Brett Fraser vs Philippe LeGrenier Alexander Robinson & Sterling Whitlock vs The Clowns

Canada hit 100 at wrestling importance so it really rushed our progress, the ratings are golden, the wrestlers deliver (Ian carried the main event!) and we've hit a groove. Ultimate Showdown is the season finale so I am treating it as the second most important show, and I had to have Joey go there as champion instead of do him dirty. I'm going to go more in depth on how this has gone soon.

CGC IN THE COMPANY OF LEGENDS REPORT: FRIDAY, WEEK 3 OF JUNE 2018 Attendance: 2000 people (SOLD OUT) PPV Buys: 17,542 MATCH 1: Alexander Robinson, Lewis Frey & Sterling Whitlock vs The Beat-Up Battalion (Charlie Homicide, Killer Karson and Tongan Death Machine) VS Starting off the show, we have a very physical and competitive 6 man tag team match that really embodies the spirit of 2018 CGC. Despite being outmatched in size, Robinson and his students relish this environment, taking as much punishment as they dish from the athletic monsters. For about 15 minutes, you forget the recent troubles of the Beat Up Battalion, as they belong in this match as wrestlers first and foremost, and then as bullies that love making their opponents hurt. This is a tone-setter as you get chokeslams on the apron, german suplexes for everyone and a very shocking ending, as Lewis Frey gets TDM in the ankle lock for the huge victory! SEGMENT RATING: 51 MATCH 2: BLOCKBUSTER VS ZEUS MAXIMILLION, IN METAL MAYHEM VS Metal Mayhem is usually reserved for the multi-man offshoot that is the Chamber of Horrors, but when the stakes ARE metal, it has to be brought out. Since there aren't more competitors to enter, the pods are filled with extra weapons for the challengers to grab. In general, the difference between cage and chamber is simple: getting thrown on a metal floor hurts a lot more, so the match generally does not stay within the ring, and that doesn't happen here either. Zeus keeps trying to throw Blockbuster into the pod glass to break it and retrieve the weapons, Blockbuster keeps wanting to break his opponent's back on the metal floor, this isn't a surprise that it lasts only 10 minutes really, as the violence is magnified from the usual. Zeus Maximillion uses chairs and kendo sticks a lot, but Blockbuster just keeps absorbing the damage, reigning in the blood that is spilled in this vulgar display of power. And now that this is out of the way, Blockbuster hits the Busterbomb on the glass pod within which is a wooden plank. He grabs it with one hand, Zeus with the other, and gets them in the ring. Blockbuster retrieves two chairs and uses them and the plank to make a fake table, then powerbombs Zeus Maximillion through it for the win, and begins screaming from how pumped he is. Now hopefully we won't have to use this structure for 6 more months! SEGMENT RATING: 46 SEGMENT 1: , We find ourselves in the backstage area, where Faith is scrolling on her phone. Jenny Playmate appears by her side almost apologetically, and asks her for help with her Tinder account. Yep, this show is not passing the Bechdel test, folks. Anyway, she says she's been trying to get Hugh Ancrie to swipe right on her, which should be easy since once a week she's consistently one mile away, but maybe she needs her profile to make the fact that she's interested in the traditions of Canadian wrestling and mountain biking more clear. Faith offers a hand, saying she used Tinder to find her next client so she's basically an expert, and at this point the segment has done its job so we move on. MATCH 3: TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS MATCH FOR THE CANADIAN WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: THE MONTREAL MAFIA VS THE CANADIAN BLONDES (C) This was closer to what we hoped for at Chaos At The Cage in terms of quality, the teams were definitely hindered by the claustrophobia of the steel cage, but we don't get none of that here. Instead, we have an absolute masterclass of tag team wrestling. Dermott Ayres and Flash Savage start off, and within just a couple of minutes Flash feels overmatched and tags his partner in. This small hint of weakness was everything the Montreal Mafia needed, spending the first part of the match constantly tagging in and out and overwhelming the Canadian Blondes with their superior teamwork. The Blondes do try to keep up, but around 8 minutes in they're found in stereo Montreal Crabs and choose to tap out to save themselves from the wear and tear. A cheapshot from Flash to Marc Raisin in the intermediate between the first and second falls brought the match back to a pace and pair of matchups that favor the Blondes more, as they spend the next 4 minutes getting shots on Raisin and cutting the ring off. The moment of seperation Raisin needs does come however, and Dermott gets the hot tag in on Ozzie. It seems like a sweep is coming in favour of the challengers getting their titles back, Ozzie gets a proper mule kick in that the ref doesn't see, and tags Flash in for the quick Crucifix to tie things up. The final fall however was going to be mutually hectic. The balance could shift too quickly to attempt calm control, therefore we got action that often had all four men in, and double team moves that are more reminiscent of lucha libre. Ayres and Raisin want to go for the stereo Crabs again, but it's scouted. A Raisin D'Etre is countered into a Heart Attack from the Canadian Blondes, and then they use their two on one advantage on Ayres. Despite a close call roll up from Dermott, Ozzie hits his Poison Rana, Flash his senton bomb, and the champions retain. SEGMENT RATING: 63 SEGMENT 2: Matchmaker extraordinaire Alex DeColt is out to tell the crowd that despite his best efforts, he couldn't get tonight's CGC Hall of Fame inductee in the building due to contractual obligations with a major company, which is why he didn't announce it beforehand. However, tonight's In The Company Of Legends is a celebration of the career of two time CGC World Champion Eric Tyler, the teacher of tradition, a north american wrestling legend, someone who shaped the careers of great ment like Dan DaLay and the Soldiers of Fortune, and someone who gave many tough lessons to the DeColt family. He mentions he hopes that there's a reunion of the two men in a CGC ring so that Eric can enjoy his moment more than a small plaque on his mantle that has been mailed...and at that point the sound of chair crushing on Alex's back is heard. Jamie Atherton is smirking over the boss's fallen body, he gently takes the mic Alex was hanging onto and just says "There's always a DeColt", before dropping the microphone and leaving. SEGMENT RATING: 80 MATCH 4: HUGH ANCRIE VS SKIP BEAU (C) FOR THE CGC CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP If it wasn't clear already, it is now. Skip Beau is excellent at getting his opponents out of their comfort zone. Hugh of course is no stranger to hard hitting action, but he couldn't get the lock up he went for as Skip instantly headbutted him and begun an assault on the challenger that looked more like a street fight. To be fair, that's how Jack DeColt used to do it when Marie was in danger, and that's who taught Skip all he knows. Ancrie is a class competitor in his own right though, and he kept finding ways to handle the raging bull, dodging and trying to immobilize him by grabbing the neck and fighting hard for wrist control and waist control. Seeing Skip be German Suplex'd is a sight to behold, and after that moment Hugh knew he's back in it. He checked if any of his teeth were broken and proceeded to kick Skip right into concussion protocol. It was obvious that even three minutes in, the gradual built up of a wrestling match was gone, and both guys were in it to win it as soon as possible. Powerslams, submissions, backbreakers, complicated pin maneuvers, both guys went deep in their bags trying to win by sheer force of doing the most. Skip managed to block the Crying Game with his insane core strength and turn it into a Stampede, but as he went for the Flow Down (DVD), Hugh slipped out of his shoulders and tried Duane Stone's Katahajime, but pulling back just sent Skip into the ropes. With that surprise not in his locker anymore, Hugh tried a high impact elevated DDT, but Skip just countered into the lift for the Wild Ride! Jack DeColt's Whirlwind Slam was all he needed, and just 9:43 in he hit the Flow Down for the win, shocking the heavy favorite! SEGMENT RATING: 63 MATCH 5: Marc Dubois vs Whippy The Clown VS What do you get when the man that is slowly starting to be dubbed as the saviour of CGC faces off against the man who's the company's MVP for the year? You get by far the match of the year. An absolute technical clinic, where every centimeter of the ring mattered. Whippy's goal in this match seemed to be to make Marc bleed, and it led to some uncomfortable moments but he didn't succeed. Marc on the other hand, wrestled to win, but he also wrestled to prove what needn't be proven; that he's the man, at the top of this company. A changed man, a determined man, a man with the heart of the lion and pride for the craft. Whippy descended into the chaos due to not handling the pressure of being the man, just like Marc did as a young prospect at even the prospect of having that burden. But from the struggles, you get this Dubois. A Dubois who is a triple threat, a brawler, a matwork master and a flyer. Whippy is also that, but he's just solid at all three, the victim of having 10 more years of wrestling on his body. Quibble didn't get involved, he was just observing the action. Whippy didn't cheat other htan a few well placed eye rakes. Perhaps under the antics, the prideful Combatant that was having the run of his life is still there, not lying to himself about how big this challenge was. Sadly for Whippy, he didn't get the response he wanted. The Joke's On You was kicked out of, the Clowning Around countered into a Model Solution (Sharpshooter) and Whippy had no choice but to scream until his pain barrier broke and he tapped out. SEGMENT RATING: 68 SEGMENT 3: Dubois gets his moment to bask in victory, as the clowns retreat. But it's merely a moment. A scream accompanied by the heaviest riff and most chaotic drum breakdown are heard in the arena's PA system, and He comes out. The Genetically Modified Killing Machine, Gargantuan comes out, with the grin plastered across his face that we haven't seen in so long. He looks at Dubois and sees not only a victim, but a challenge. Marc is tired, but he stands his ground in front of the monster. Gargantuan takes a bow, perhaps showing a rare sign of respec- aaaand he lifts him up. Gorrila Press Slam! Choke Backbreaker! ULTIMATE BACKBREAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Pleased with the havoc he caused and the statement he made, Gargantuan leaves Dubois lying there, unconscious. SEGMENT RATING: 60 MATCH 6: INTREPID IAN IDENTITY VS JOEY POISON (C) FOR THE CGC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Ian vs Joey. Upstart vs Veteran. Destiny vs Odds Defied. This could be seen as a classic wrestling tale, but the paths the two men got to arrive to this moment are far from classic. Ian was floundering for his first four years before he decided to grab the bull by the horns and get two title opportunities in six months. He succeeded in the first one and made it to the Wrestlefestival as champion. Joey begun the year as champion but failed in his first defense of the year. Five months later, he has to rectify that failure on one leg, which at this point is less of a challenge as is a reminder of how this is not going to be replicated for him. The run of his career has led him here. Specifically, to being plummeted by Ian's right hands for the first phase of the contest. Ian is at home in the main event, hitting steady offense, showboating and repeat, but Joey knows how to get back up every time. Dodge, spinning wheel kick, neckbreaker, and the tide turns. Joey wants to slow things down, then hit a combo of moves that will stagger Ian and get him winded up and tired early, but it's easier said than done. Ian's power is deceptive, and his counter of the Twisting Cutter into a Northern Lights Suplex a reminder that almost got him the title. About 14 minutes in, Ian hits the Identity Theft but Joey wisely rolls out of the ring. Frustrated for a second, Ian tries to go up to the top rope and hit a crossbody to the outside, but nobody's home! Poison is given extra time to recover, and he uses it. Side Effect, Twisting Cutter for the two count, Antidote's Web Cradle... still not good enough. Feeling victory slip away, Joey tries something unorthodox, and hits Crippler Ray (and Barry's) Kingman's spear, channeling his rival from 4C, but it's sloppy and not good enough. Intrepid Ian Identity has a smile plastered across his face despite having taken continuous damage. He feels like he's starting to outlast Joey, and his combo of clotheslines into the Intrepid Arrow almost does it, but still not quite yet. Change of plans. Irish Whip to the turnbuckle. Punch, grin at the crowd. Get to 10 punches and Spike DDT Joey. 1...2... not yet. Get him in the waist lock, squeeze so it's tough for him to calibrate, go for the German, Joey lands at his feet! He grabs his knee but goes for the schoolboy pin regardless, Ian powers out in shock for how close he came to losing. Joey goes for another Twisting Cutter, but Ian pushes him to the turnbuckle. Punch, taunt the crowd. Punch, taunt the crowd. Punch, tau- Joey pushes him to the mat, goes up to the second rope and hits a leg drop. It hurts both men equally but he goes for the pin regardless...still not enough. He waits for Ian to get up, and as he tries to get him to the Antidote's Web again, Ian pulls the referee's shirt in order not to go down, blocking the move. He gets reprimanded, but the time earnt is worth it, as he hits the Exploder Suplex on Joey Poison, waits for him to get up, and goes for the Identity Thef- Joey grabs his wrist! Ian swings, but Joey's instincts kick in again, and he uses the momentum for the Wrist-Clutch Driver! The move that won him the title! 1...2...3! He's done it! SEGMENT RATING: 62 OVERALL RATING: 63

Well, I guess even America couldn't copyright characters from the bible

GCG PRESENTS: IN THE COMPANY OF LEGENDS LIVE AT VARSITY ARENA One of the biggest shows of the year from CGC arrives, with the biggest attendance projected in a long time, and interestingly the fewest matches in a PPV this year. Alex DeColt also has a big announcement that will be carried out! MAIN EVENT: CGC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Intrepid Ian Identity vs Joey Poison (C) Ian has managed to get in an enviable position: with a title match at a huge night for the company, one step away from manifesting his destiny, as he says. Joey keeps being ailed by the difficulties of reaching the top of the mountain when not at your peak, with his leg targeted as often as possible by every opponent. It's truly a battle of youth vs experience, but it could also be overconfidence vs the drive to survive. Truly an exciting matchup! Marc Dubois vs Whippy The Clown Marc Dubois keeps winning ever since his arrival at CGC, but that keeps drawing the ire of company mainstays, with Whippy The Clown being the latest to attack him, trying to find ways to distract himself after losing his CGC World Championship. This has not rattled Marc who shows a determination and focus to reach the top of the company and show he is a changed man who has learned from his personal struggles, opposite to Whippy who seems to have forgotten the right way to do things ever since the pressure of carrying the championship got to be too much. Whippy is dangerous and shouldn't be counted out, but if this is a fair fight, Dubois seems unbeatable at this moment. CGC CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Hugh Ancrie vs Skip Beau (C) A battle of philosophies, a battle for the soul of the Canadian championship. House of Stone vs The DeColt Powerhouse. Ancrie is money. Skip is a born fighter. This is an easy sell, the future of Canadian wrestling becoming the present. A match that could steal the show, folks! CGC WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS MATCH: The Montreal Mafia vs The Canadian Blondes (C) Despite the fact there's not much separating these two teams, the Blondes managed to prevail in the cage. The Mafia managed to get momentum back the past few Sundays, and the two out of three falls rules are here to make sure someone separates themselves- three seconds on the mat will not be enough, and no interference will be tolerated. Who will prevail once and for all? METAL MAYHEM MATCH: Blockbuster vs Zeus Maximillion The battle to find the most metal superstar in CGC has been simple: Blockbuster's brash no-damn-giving attitude against Zeus' legitimate demigod powers. Man against God has been an eternal battle ever since a snake managed to trick Man into adopting a healthy lifestyle, and the Metal Mayhem chamber will test both these Combatants as they go out fighting for their pride. OPENER SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH: Alexander Robinson, Sterling Whitlock and Lewis Frey vs The Beat Up Battalion A challenge laid by Robinson to test his young students might prove to be a big mistake as the battalion are licking the wounds after their loss to the Superfriends, arguably being at their most dangerous. Regardless, this will be a very fun way to open the show and a very competitive affair. VERY FEW TICKETS ARE LEFT WITH DAYS TO GO! GET YOURS TODAY AT TICKETMASTER!

I hate 21CW. I hate how it essentially makes it impossible to grow a british scene, I hate that it took Koller from VWA, I hate that it's SWF UK but with the young guys being even more bland and terrible, and I hate that RAW did the SWF but with cultural differences trope so, so much better. Honestly, 21CW has no reason to exist but also no way it could ever go under or need to change.

VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 158, Tuesday, Week 3 of June 2018 As we transition to our CGC segment, I'd like to say that I figured out why my ratings have been consistently higher lately: the crowd actually makes some decent noise, which makes moves feel important. The segments still are driven more by the content, but when you have a wrestling crowd react to wrestling moves, no matter how jaded I get that will always hit different. MATCH 1: Gopher & The Ant vs Thunder & Lightning. A bit of a shame that we've gotten this Canadian indie dream match twice already and it meant nothing either time. Regardless, this is great, the crowd is making noise, I think this month of Ontario shows has completely reinvigorated the energy in the product, and I don't need to get too in depth with the content of the match, as it's what you'd imagine. The technicians trying to keep Topher grounded and Ant-Man incapacitated so that they don't get overwhelmed by their flashier offense, but inevitably since they're currently jobbing, a Springboard Leg Drop from Topher Smith gives Gopher & The Ant a nice win. Segment Rating: 54 MATCH 2: Clause Reed vs Nathan Black. Forgettable, but a high floor of action, nothing bad to pick out. Reed is really over, which makes sense since he's local and his gimmick is really simple to get behind. Nathan has taken to being a gatekeeper so well, you'd think he was relieved to settle in this role. Clause Reed is really adept at hitting the basics, his shoulder tackles are crisp, his clotheslines look like they hurt, and his Log Saw a finisher that is growing on me. Segment Rating: 46 SEGMENT 1: Blockbuster and Zeus Maximillion are on the top of the ramp, where a mini stage is set. Blockbuster has an electric Cello because they don't make guitars for hands his size, and Zeus has a harp and a tiny amplifier. They proceed to have a "metal-off" of epic proportions, with Jenny Playmate as the judge. Blockbuster tries to sound violent and hectic and domineering, while Zeus' style is more...it's not the right word considering the genre, but laid back. In the way that he's slow, anthemic and powerful. Blockbuster gets immensely annoying at clearly losing, and tries to argue that since art is subjective he shouldn't be subjected to criticism, but it's too late for him, and Zeus is declared the winner. Blockbuster calls them posers and storms off, because he'd never try to break his prized possesion on their heads. Segment Rating: 48 MATCH 3: Alexander Robinson and The Montreal Mafia vs The Canadian Blondes and Philippe LeGrenier. This was definitely good, but I thought the opener was slightly better due to this match being a bit too busy. The faces were in control for most of the match, with the blondes and Philippe resorting to underhanded tactics constantly just to stay in it, but Robinson was a killer hot tag and his Canadian Violence on Ozzie Golden led to a pin attempt that had to be broken up, and chaos ensued in the ring. The brawl was brief but it led to The Montreal Mafia taking out Flash and Philippe (while getting taken out themselves), and Robinson managed to lock in the Mapleleaf submission for the win. Segment Rating: 53 SEGMENT 2: Dan DaLay is in a poorly lit backstage office room alongside Jamie. He tells Atherton that he's done some thinking over the past week, and brought some extra help. Adrian Garcia walks in, as a guest teacher in the class "what do you do when you got your ass kicked by the good guy?". Adrian says that essentially, the answer is to find the next person to terrorise, even if just to get your mojo back. The end goal is the title, but it's not always about the title. Dan interjects, saying that's what he did attacking Dubois, even if it didn't work out, but his priorities have changed lately. Jamie gets some words of doubt in, but Garcia and DaLay restate their point in a catchier way: back in the day, there was always another DeColt. So, you know, just remember that there's always another DeColt, even if in these days it's more of a symbolic thing. Jamie is perplexed, but then he gets an idea, and thanks both men for their help, showing that bad guys have comradarie and altruism that CGC faces could never show. Segment Rating: 57 MATCH 4: Hugh Ancrie vs Sterling Whitlock. Skip Beau joins the commentary table, putting over Sterling huge as a tough fighter who embodies what the new generation of CGC should be about, and Hugh as a huge threat to his title and a wrestling savant. And in the ring, these guys deliver the praise, going all out and giving us a cutting edge match full of high impact offense, to the point they were both going groggy 10 minutes in. Alexander Robinson has trained Sterling like a PGHW wrestler, and in this match where his opponent is an elite endurance athlete with excellent basics it shows, as his plan is to hit him in the head until he's dead, and Hugh's plan is similar in order to set up the Crying Game. Around 13 minutes in the contest, Sterling is completely locked in to the concept of ending things with a Vertical Spike, but Hugh either stops him outright or counters every time. Frustrated, Sterling tries to go for the Lariats that gave him the win at Chaos In the Cage, but Ancrie dodges and uses his momentum to get him in the position for the Crying Game. Whitlock has no choice but to tap out, and this is their first "short" match that gets this good a rating, excellent stuff. Segment Rating: 63 SEGMENT 3: Skip hits the ring after the match to congratulate Ancrie, but Hugh isn't in the mood to play nice. Hugh tells Skip that while he thinks Skip Beau is a good Combatant, he doesn't think he's a good champion. Where he comes from, the Canadian championship represents excellence, while here he sees Beau play second fiddle to old men and people he's beaten before. Hugh aims to give this title prestige, and make it something that shouldn't be beneath him as he expressed when he first came here. Skip says that he shouldn't plan ahead as he still doesn't have the belt, and he should learn from Jamie's failures because he doesn't intend to give the title up that easily. Segment Rating: 60 MATCH 5: Intrepid Ian Identity & Whippy The Clown vs Joey Poison & Marc Dubois. This was killer despite the fact Joey and Marc had bad chemistry- or maybe they didn't and it was just the fact they chose to make a huge deal out of Joey's leg. It's getting tiring but I think they can get some more mileage out of it before it jumps the shark. This match was their usual tag main event, slowly built with the heels cutting off the ring until the babyface gets the big hot tag, and Dubois on offense keeps being unstoppable. Quibble tried to interfere but got a superkick for his troubles, Whippy got thrown out of the ring (and Joey hit a Suicide Dive on him for good measure), and Marc was in there with the #1 contender, ready to fight. Ian used some underhanded tactics to get Dubois grounded and get him in the Prison Lock, but Marc isn't injured and so his opponent's flexing just compelled him to palm strike Ian in the jaw, which got him out of the hold. Ian, dazed and not sure if he's lost a tooth, tries to go for the Identity Theft to end the match, but Marc is in the zone, and the Marc Of Excellence is still to get kicked out of in CGC.

We're +6 in popularity than when we started (not being in the graveyard slot helps a lot too I guess) and pop bumps up ratings majorly it seems. I never thought Clause Reed vs Jamie could get a rating like this. I guess...maybe...by the next Wrestlefestival we might be reaching the 70's in the huge matches. Exciting stuff just because it gets tougher every week to go "yeah this match was great...here's your 49 rating".

VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 157, Tuesday, Week 2 of June 2018 At the end of the day, no matter what your preferred brand of wrestling is, when you're one of the thousand people that give me money to talk about it, you know you deeply care about the art form and the business, and subjective opinions shouldn't overcome your will to pay me. Which brings us to CGC, my favorite currently sports entertainment product, because I can't help but root for achieving underdogs. MATCH 1: The show opens with Ant-Man vs Blockbuster, and it's the first time this year that Blockbuster hasn't dropped the ball when in an important match (I will not count Dubois carrying him through the sheer excitement of his debut). He's genuinely menacing here, it's not just Ant-Man getting offense and being fun with it. His strikes are less fake, his power moves hit with more intent behind them, and well, I know Ant-Man is carrying the action but it just flows better than most of the matches we've got from Blockbuster this year. Which is why when I saw him hit Ant-Man with that Turnbuckle Bomb, I winced and got really worried, but thankfully the Ant is fine. We got Ant-Man hitting a Dr. Bomb on the 6'6 Blockbuter for a very nearfall, but it wasn't meant to be. Blockbuster responded with the Iron Maiden Claw, and when he saw Ant-Man wouldn't tap out, a Busterbomb for good measure and the win. Segment Rating: 50 SEGMENT 1: Zeus Maximillion comes out with a microphone, saying that it seems half-men half-ants are more Blockbuster's speed, but the San Francisco native cuts him off. He retorts that Zeus is all talk, all love and thunder, which just isn't metal at all, and he lays a double challenge: a music contest for next week, and a match at In The Company Of Legends: Metal Mayhem, the one on one version of Chamber of Horrors*. Zeus smiles and tries to summon a thunderbolt for dramatic effect, but Blockbuster kicks him in the balls. Segment Rating: 41 MATCH 2: Clause Reed vs Jamie Atherton showed that the top featured guys (and by extension the show itself) have reached a special point of popularity: Put the top guy vs anyone and you get something that is both solid enough and over enough with the crowd that is better than anything they did until April. This match ruled, and it was just 8 minutes of Jamie getting yelled at by Dan DaLay (who was at ringside) every time he went for a flip, and losing control to Reed until he went into the "cathartic bullying" techniques taught by Dan. Those did turn the tide in his favor, but without having the separation to go for a Thunderbolt, and being the much smaller man, Jamie got the win by countering a piledriver setup into a Jackknife pin, pulling on Clause's gear to hold on as much as possible. Segment Rating: 54 SEGMENT 2: Dan tried to give Jamie a few pointers on his technique and how "next time just lift the guy sometimes like I do, son" but Atherton had to interject. He said he understood the general philosophy, but he didn't think it's a one to one fit because of the foot long difference in height and 70 pound difference in weight. Dan says that he can stay for next week's special class since he's already made the payment, and they'll see where they pivot from there, to which Jamie agrees. Segment Rating: 50 MATCH 3: The Montreal Mafia vs Drake Young and Philippe LeGrenier. This is another example of what I talked to earlier- Montreal Mafia are just way more over than expected and can do no wrong, so the undercarders' heel antics are elevated- and since the Mafia are lifelong underdogs, it's a perfect fit. There's a bit too much comedy maybe with Young bringing back his invisible grenade spot from years past, but other than that it's just clean action and Philippe looked really good. Once again The Canadian Blondes don't really bother to come out and return the favor from their two allies, and Drake Young taps out to the Montreal Crab. Segment Rating: 54 SEGMENT 3: The Mafia actually speak! And they call out the Canadian Blondes. They say that they should mix things up. Three weeks ago they had a cage match. At In The Company Of Legends, it should not be decided by who gets the first pinfall when they're so evenly matched. Quality and consistency should prevail. They want a Two out of Three Falls match, to show these two pretty boys why they're considred the best at waste management. The Blondes come out, they accept, then immediately they have a shockingly brutal brawl by CGC standards, where the Blondes drive both members of the Montreal Mafia face first into the ring posts. Segment Rating: 51 SEGMENT 4: Hugh Ancrie has yet another interview with an, ahem, increasingly horny? but PG-horny of course, Jenny Playmate, and Intrepid Ian Identity is there, trying to leech off of Hugh's popularity. I can't really get into the content of the segment because it was a bit chaotic and Ian constantly interrupting both the questions and any flirting, but it was fairly fun if kept in really small doses. Considering Jenny isn't interviewing anyone else lately, I'm going to call this a gimmick. Segment Rating: 62 MATCH 4: Topher Smith vs Whippy The Clown. Marc Dubois was on commentary, which was great because he has kind of either cut a generic promo or gotten interrupted after his debut, so this is another good chance to humanize the new face of the company, who talks about his issues with Whippy and how he's been wrestling a lot the past few weeks to make up for the time lost. In ring however, Whippy turns back the clock in order to have a high flying focused match with Topher Smith, and this really puts the youngster over by comparison. It's a fine match, one where Whippy doesn't even try to cheat until he knows he'll lose, and as Topher goes for the Gopher Broke 450 degree splash, Whippy gets the knees up and rakes his eyes to get Topher up for the Joke's On You easier. Segment Rating: 52 SEGMENT 5: Marc instantly gets in the ring after Whippy's match, Whippy tries to shake his hand but he clearly has a buzzer on. So Marc eviscerates him with words instead, talking about his real problem with Whippy isn't being targeted or the cowardly manner of his attack, but the fact he was talking such a big game, and one good day, one good moment of Joey showing he's a great wrestler was enough to get him from someone proudly carrying the company to a parody of a wrestler. The Comeback Kid says he hopes he'll beat some sense into Whippy but he's cut off. Whippy reminds him that Marc Dubois was brought in to be "the top wrestler and face of the company" while HE was holding the belt. Alex DeColt replaced him while he was on the run of his life, so all Whippy can do really, is take Marc out. Tells him to watch his back, because if it's not him who beats Dubois into a quiet retreat in rural Manitoba, it will be someone else. All he knows, is that Dubois is not fit for CGC and the locker room knows it. Segment Rating: 64 MATCH 5: Champions vs Challengers tag match. Well this was simple. Hugh and Ian just cut the ring in half, and kept on brutalizing Joey Poison's left leg like they said they would. To the point that this was a somewhat boring main event for the crowd in attendance, even though to me the action worked and the story moved forward just fine. Skip Beau is an excellent hot tag, even if Hugh didn't quite sell the severity of those punches: something to look into in the future! The finish found Ian and Joey both in the ring, and Ian debuted a new move, just for Joey and their title match: he put him in the Prison Lock, and he would just flex for the crowd as Joey was helpless and in pain. Skip broke the hold, but the message was sent. Hugh lariated himself and Skip out of the ring, and as Joey slowly got up, Ian Identity hit a brutal Identity Theft for the win. Segment Rating: 54 SEGMENT 6: After the match ended, Ian made a point to pose over Joey's body with the World Championship belt, and as the referee took it off him so as not to have any theft shenanigans, Ian pretended to trip and knee dropped Poison on the leg. He fake shouted at the ref for causing this, then retreated laughing. The deck is certainly stacked for next Friday. Segment Rating: 52 Overall Rating: 57 *CGC's December PPV, think Elimination Chamber with weapons. The solo version is more claustrophobic, a bit more like a cage match.

CGC IN OTTAWA! TITLE BOUT WRESTLING WITH THE FOLLOWING CARD: Champions vs Challengers: Joey Poison and Skip Beau vs Intrepid Ian Identity and Hugh Ancrie Clause Reed vs Jamie Atherton The Montreal Mafia vs Drake Young & Philippe LeGrenier Ant-Man vs Blockbuster Whippy The Clown vs Topher Smith

Vibert's Voice - Ep. 156, Tuesday, Week 1 of June 2018 Ok so, we did Total Mayhem, we did the potential politicking to get Aaron Andrews over Rocky Golden in the biggest show of the year, we did Huggins vs Jameson in the match of the night, is there anything else? Oh, right. CGC time. Title Bout Wrestling was once again a solid show! Slowly bringing up those crowds, 575 announced attendance, although they've drown more in Ontario than they do at home probably due to scarcity. SEGMENT 1: Intrepid Ian Identity opens the show, and basically hypes himself up for his #1 contender's match in the main event, saying he understands that the boss, Alex DeColt, is showing him some tough love and is grateful to let everyone in London know that he's him. His birthright won't be denied, his destiny fulfilled, and he will beat Joey Poison at In The Company Of Legends, because it's kind of written in the stars that he will. Joey Poison comes out, reminding Ian that he shouldn't be overconfident going into the main event as Joey himself will make sure he doesn't use any underhanded tactics, but Ian says how can't he be confident when Joey has been physically struggling for months and is only just holding onto the belt because of the power of friendship? Ian knows this is just his path to becoming World Champion, but Joey just shrugs him off and flashes his belt, because Ian lost his to Skip Beau in his last 'biggest match of his career'. Segment Rating: 59 MATCH 1: Flash vs Marc Raisin. This time, Ozzie and Dermott Ayres were the ones trying to help their partner overcome how extremely even the odds were and how well-matched these four are, but this match was the flippiest match of the year in CGC, and had less opportunities for blatant cheating, at least early on. Whirlwind pace, great counters and just a sense of fun prevailing. But things don't go similarly in this match, as seeing Dermott thwart him too many times, Ozzie Golden has got backup: Drake Young and Philippe LeGrenier come in, beat the hell out of Dermott, and as the second member of The Montreal Mafia complains to the ref that they should be ejected and order restored or else he will wake up with the head of the horse in his blankets, Flash got him in the Crucifix pin for the win. Wrestling is simple, and these four do it well. Segment Rating: 54 SEGMENT 2: Blockbuster goes into the "dweebs locker room" in order to recruit a tag team partner for his match later on, but he gets shut down by everyone. Curtis Mobstar doesn't like his music, the Beat Up Battalion are offended by his lack of commitment after they tried to recruit him weeks ago, Dapper Danny Draper talks about the unbreakable bond of Team CD and how he cannot betray that...but Chucky Dorrance certainly can, as he hastily accepts the opportunity for Exposure. Segment Rating: 38 MATCH 2: Ant-Man vs Nathan Black. This was Ant-Man showing he can beat up on people his own size, as he manhandled the veteran with increasingly enjoyable offense, and kudos to Black for bumping like that 19 years in. Not much to say other than Ant-Man not opting for the Doctor Bomb, but ending things with a Top Rope Headbutt instead. Segment Rating: 44 SEGMENT 3: Jamie Atherton has found just the person he needed to in order to get his mojo back: Dan DaLay. He goes up to the locker room harassment leader, shakes his hand, looks at him firmly in the eyes, and asks him for advice because he has been losing to the DeColt family for 20 years, so he must know how it feels now that Jamie got pinned once. Dan is, shockingly, enthusiastic to help him, and they go over a motivational montage: Jamie needs to decrease the number of flips and multiply that by the number of people whose lives he's made a living hell. It's not about winning, it's about sending a message. But also, sometimes it is about winning. Dan says he's got a match for him next week, to demonstrate what he's learned. Segment Rating: 52 MATCH 3: Marc Dubois vs Quibble The Clown. Maybe there should be a weight limit put in terms of who Marc Dubois fights, because the last two matches were absolute fire and a little better than the big DaLay match. Quibble has come into his own as a performer in the indies- well, I guess CGC is not an indie only due to the pity TV deal they have- and he was an excellent foil to Dubois in this match. Whippy was mostly cheering him on, other than a spot where he put an invisible wall up as Dubois was chasing Quibble on the outside. This little interference did help hip get the upper hand with dives and a lot of hair pulling (people in CGC seem to not like luscious blond hair), but Marc did what he usually does in these matches and steadily built up to a comeback with clotheslines, forearm strikes, a big Flapjack. But in this match Dubois didn't go for the Comeback Lariat or the Marc Of Excellence, debuting the finisher we mostly have known him with in the SWF- The Model Solution guillotine choke. Quibble tapped out immediately. Segment Rating: 63 SEGMENT 4: Whippy tries to instantly get in the ring and attack Dubois, but he has let go of the hold and is ready for a scrap. Whippy backs off, then implies a peace offering as he wants to retrieve Quibble's downed body. Marc takes two steps backwards, and as Whippy helps his fallen soldier to his feet, tries to spray Dubois with the most tiny of water guns, violating the truce and perhaps the Geneva convention, and presumably officially laying a challenge for the PPV. Segment Rating: 62 MATCH 4: Blockbuster & Chucky Dorrance vs Zeus and Stevie. This will shock everyone, but the heels didn't have the best rapport or cooperation. Blockbuster would just scream commands at random that were stuff like "beat his ass" and "no, take that hit harder what are you doing" and "DODGE", but all Chucky was able to do is question the integrity of his tactical nuance, and he therefore lost the match in quite a short, brisk runtime without the metalhead even tagging in, as Stevie Grayson rolled Chucky up despite having hit him with way too many dropkicks before, as if he didn't know how to pin someone normally. Segment Rating: 43 SEGMENT 5: Blockbuster, furious, tries to write off the loss and say it's clear we don't know who's the most metal of the two yet, but Zeus points out that his hair is still in Yu-Gi-Oh shape after the thunderstrike last week and that he lost tonight, so, really it's obvious. Blockbuster tries to lunge forward...and attack Stevie Grayson, but Zeus sees everything coming and clutches his arm in order to use ancient Greek techniques and transition to the Olympian Clutch. As Blockbuster screams for help, Zeus motions for Stevie to put the mic closer to his face, and declares that Blockbuster needs to prove that he can even contend for the title of the Most Metal Wrestler in CGC. Perhaps Half Man Half God is too much for him. Segment Rating: 46 MATCH 5: Intrepid Ian Identity vs Alexander Robinson was a really good match, where Ian took all the "tries to cheat but isn't able to" spots out in the first 5 minutes, because he then had the same realization as a couple weeks ago: he's a really good wrestler who knows how to do this. Alexander was an excellent dance partner, and was allowed to have his best CGC match yet, because Ian is one of the most polished performers on the roster and Robinson knows how to build a match with those qualities. If I had to describe the style, I know that the DeColts used to have a lot of classic brawls, but this had something more american to it as a match. The way they hit their cues and exchanged signatures, Ian kind of escapes the Jack DeColt comparisons (he's the one who used to train these guys after all) and reminds me a bit more of young Jack Bruce. Might just be how he smiled at Joey every time he took an advantage. Robinson hit the Canadian Violence european uppercut, but Ian got his foot on the ropes, and after that it was all about outlasting the veteran, even if he's in excellent shape for a 45 year old. Ian's punches just didn't get answered with the same glee after about 15 minutes, and that's when he capitalized. Punch, punch, dodge, kick to the stomach, DDT. Play to the crown, call Joey Poison a relic that will be forgotten as he makes history and manifests his destiny, get hit by Robinson, get your bearings back, stomp on his foot, elbow strikes, Identity Theft (Rock Bottom). That's how Intrepid Ian Identity became the #1 contender to the CGC World Championship. Segment Rating: 60 SEGMENT 6: Joey Poison gets in the ring, tells Ian that he carried himself like a true Power House graduate, but he should not expect his first title challenge to be successful, because no one's has been! The important part is that he's learning and seems ready for the big dance. Ian asks him what would happen if he kicked the inside of his left knee right now, and as Joey kind of uneasily backed off, Ian went on a tirade. He said Poison didn't think what would happen if he actually took the title. That he's the most vulnerable man in Canadian Golden Combat, to the point where he hasn't won a match with his finisher in months. Ian knows he's inevitable, but Joey shouldn't have made it so easy on him. But the best part is, he doesn't even have to attack him and stain his image, because he legally has a chance to incapacitate him next week, on Title Bout Wrestling's main event: Intrepid Ian Identity and Hugh Ancrie vs Joey Poison and that twerp Skip Beau! Segment Rating: 60 Overall Rating: 60

You know, at first I found the format a bit dizzying (and totally not because I was too lazy not to skim!), but this is actually flat out excellent and getting better every show.

Bringing this old thread back to express my undying love for Mr. Lucha III. He saved OLLIE on his own with a rudo run as "La Evolucion" wrecking Lopez and Flores and then giving his name on our weekly TV show (OLLIE Evolucion). He dropped 15 months in to Silver Tiger, then turned tecnico in a Hijo Del Mephisto feud that got so heated he got the masks of everyone in the Council Of Decay other than the leader who he ran out of the company (poached by EILL)...so then naturally I gave him the COTT title which he held for like 20 defenses. This is like if Go Shiozaki's 2020 NOAH reign didn't involve him destroying his shoulders and never returning to his physical peak again, it was truly a landmark run and since he was in his prime he reached some ungodly stats, was giving me 85-90 performances when we were lower medium in popularity.

My two favorite companies are gone, CGC and GCG. After those, I really appreciate NYCW as they were the easiest for me to book when I first got into the game. I actually prefer modern TCW to prime, they were too good and overwhelming with Cornell in there.
