You can't trust what those Florida Bay fans think, they don't appreciate the art form of Puroresu wrestling. I saw that match and I can reliably inform you that is was a Puroresu masterpiece.... honest!
I believe when Awan Pawent purveys it, it is called Puwowesu.
I'm still reading, but I'm finding the real heart of this story in the enjoyably deluded backstage and field report sections.
-
Card Recap:
Paradigm vs Alan Parent
- Puwuswah Pawent beats Pawadigm when Kwammy Ling helps out.
Paradox vs Tex Tagan
-Tex continues to play 'behead a Paratrooper.'
Stanley Carpenter vs Davie Renluenn
- As if Carp is gonna put himself over one of the agents.
Skip Beau vs Joffy Laine
- Joffy jobs! Which is what he is meant to do.
Cal Sanders vs Nomad © – Florida Bay Heavyweight Championship
- By DQ. Likely thanks to Davie showing up. Nomad retains, Cal wins. And the FBI continues to figure out this pro wrasslin' biz.
-
Stanley Carpenter vs Alan Parent w/Kammy Ling
- I'd likely pick Kammy Ling to go over the FBI's lil booker.
Paradigm vs Canadian Crusher
- Paradigm down. Canada crush~!
Paranoia vs Tex Tagan
- Paranoia? Nothing a strong lariat can't fix.
Paradox vs Joffy Laine
In D'Mack's dynasty, Joffy is an inconsistent lazy monkey. I think finally being friends with the booker pays off as the Paratroopers plus Stanley go 1/4 marking their best month ever.
Cal Sanders & Skip Beau vs Nomad & Davie Renluenn
- Send 'em home happy was the faces chase the titles. Plus I think the heels should be entertainingly dysfuncational.
-
Skip Beau vs Davie Renluenn
- Cocky heel coworker for the win... and promotion!
Cal Sanders vs Nomad
- A solid hand who can help keep the match sensible.
Stanley Carpenter vs Canadian Crusher
- His name is spelled correctly. Go and CRUSH Canada. Erm, wait. I meant that differently.
Paranoia vs Alan Parent
- Another case of good bad parenting.
Southern Hospitality vs The Paratroopers
- I hope their tag team finisher is called Southern Discomfort.
Winner of Semi-Final 1 vs Winner of Semi-Final 2 – Florida Bay Heavyweight Championship
- Davey Reunuuleuennulelen. - The cocky co-worker gets the first title, and then bitches out our Hero for not immediately being scooped up by SWF. It's tough being on the bottom of the FBI(PW).
-
Really fun concept for a diary. Hopefully you keep it up until at least someone gets hired to RIPW at least.
Card Recap
Southern Hospitality (Tex Tagan & Joffy Laine) vs The Paratroopers (Paradigm & Paranoia)
- Joffy Laine seems to be about as consistent a pizza delivery man in Saigon, however, the booker works with Tex and don't wanna piss the big cowpoke off... yet.
Stanley Carpenter vs Davie Renluenn
- Might be the most useless cocky heel ever... but he is still Stan's superior back at the FBI. Enjoy looking at the lights Carp.
Cal Sanders vs Alan Parent
- Sanders should guarantee at least one more pschological decent match.
Paradox vs Nomad
- I suspect Paradox will join his brothers and new trainee commiserating about losing on the debut CIA (Caribbean International Action!) card.
Skip Beau vs Canadain Crusher
- I when with Skip Beau, coz I'm from Canada and boooo any wrestler who can't spell his country properly. Boo you Canadain boo!

I just think it is a very bad idea for TNA to have shows and PPV outside of the Imapct Zone. Plus the crowd seems to be more rabid in the Impact Zone because they are told to cheer and the got in for free so of course they are happy.
I couldn't disagree more. The Idiots at the Impact Zone are hurting the product at this point. They're the worst sort of marks (they're not smarks or smarts). TNA needs to get OUT of Free Show Orlando and make the move from a cult promotion to a National promotion that will sink or swim on its own merits.
Living in the Impact Zone Goldfish Bowl is not good for the company or the performers.

I don't see how James isn't the guy in Miami. I know the media has gone the other way with this since it's been Wade's team, but if there is anything Miami fans have been bashed for since getting James is their lack of loyalty and dedication to actually following the team. James had more points, rebounds, assists, better shooting percentage, better free throw percentage...physically he's bigger, stronger, younger...I don't know. It seems like we are all just conceding that James and Wade are about the same player and since Wade has lived in Florida longer, James is now Scottie Pippen.
There's also the small fact that Wade's... uh... oh right... lead his team to a title! Wade's proven that he has the leadership skills to raise his game and his team mates to the elite level. James never did that. Not ever. So While Bosh becomes the Horace Grant/Robert Parish/Byron Scott of the team, James becomes the supporting figure.
It has less to do with Wade being in Florida longer... or "South Beach"... but more to do with Wade having the ability to be a commander.
I'm curious to see how the three headed ego-trip handles controversy. Personally, I hope it implodes and they hate each other. But then millionaires in turmoil makes me smirk.
-
You sure about that? I was on Twitter a minute ago, and "Burning LeBron's jersey" was the #2 trending topic.
Interestingly, Scottie Pippen was #1. Make of that what you will.
They're going to burn Scottie Pippen?
That's just cruel!

Man I was really hoping for a swerve and Lebron going.
"I am involved in a sign and trade and I'm heading the the Lakers." That something even Vince himself couldn't have written better.
Well... except to really hit the swerve, he's join Miami or Cleveland and then at the Christmas Day game against the Lakers he'd grab the ball at midcourt... pause... and then drive to the Heat's rim, dunk it with authority and then pull off his Heat jersey to reveal his Laker jersey... which is why the Lakers have played with 11 men all year.
Now THAT would be a swerve.

Except Jermaine O'Neal is only 31.
Oh, that O'Neal. He's been a journeyman center at best. He should have gone to college. He might have become a star if he did.
Also Jordan's assist numbers were better before they won all those championships.Before first championship: 6.0 assist a game
After first title: 4.8 assist a game
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01.html
The Bulls won Championships because they put people around Jordan so Jordan wasn't doing everything by himself. Names like Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, and Horace Grant. The reason the Bulls didn't win before these guys is because it was Jordan and then the Bulls like you said.
That is also much different then what the Heat would have. They would have three All-Stars in their primes with Beasley and Chalmers still developing. Beasley has been the second man in the Heat's offense for two years now, if Beasley stays then he would essentially become the fourth or fifth option which isn't a bad thing considering he is a 46% shooter.
We'll see. So far Bosh is a regular season numbers beast but has done nothing in the post season. How much of that is him, how much the players around him I'm not sure about. But make no mistake, Miami will remain D-Wade's team. If LeBron goes there... he's be Uber-Pippen so... Bosh is Horace Grant? Which is probably the best place for him.
Sorry if this seems like I am being mean it's just I don't understand how the two situations are the same.I'm guessing you are a Raptors fan?
Not mean, I'm an adult, it's a difference of opinions. Until Miami plays an actual game, they're still just a team. A potentially great team, but they aren't the NBA Champs, the Eastern Conference Representatives in the Finals or anything but a team.
And no, I was a Vancouver Grizzlies fan but David Stern crippled that team from the outset and 'gifted' them with the worst GM in the history of pro sports. Thank you Stu Jackson for being nothing but talentless.
Deal. Toronto's always going to be a hard sell and they're always going to be a dumping ground. Canada's tax laws coupled with the team's status as a major market in a minor country (relatively speaking) means the true superstars aren't going to want to play there and anyone the Raptors manage to trap...err, draft, that's worth a quarter is takin' the first flight outta town as soon as their deal expires.And the Knicks organization isn't a shambles since someone with a clue (Donnie Walsh) took over.
Oh, I know why Toronto's going to be a hard sell. I don't think there's a bigger jump personal taxes in North America than Ontario to Florida, except maybe British Columbia or Quebec to Florida.
As for the Knicks, Walsh has things moving in the right direction but he started from a very deep hole.
Starbury. TMac. Francis... JR Rider?Anyone who thinks locker room cancers like Starbury or Francis would be a benefit to slapping a jersey on a Miami homeless person are crazy. Starbury would still demand 20 plus minutes, a share of the revenue, his own locker room. Francis might not be much better. I don't know about TMac.
*IF* LeBron goes to Miami I think that will be the biggest issue; other than the back-up 9... is how do three major egos co-exist? Also, what happens if one player (or two) get hurt for an extended period?
This Heat-Wave guarantees Miami exactly... nothing.
(Other than merchandise sales.)

I know O'Neal looked horrible last year, but he is only 30 or 31 and he'd at least be a better option then like Tony Battie or someone.
Except O'Neal is 38.
And it's next to impossible to win with scrubs in the NBA in the playoffs?
Don't believe me? Michael Jordan won rings only AFTER he learned to be a team player and the team went from Jordan and the Jordanaires to the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan.
As long as Vince Carter never sniffs a title I'll be happy.
I think this is much ado about nothing, mostly. In the end the most likely 'big name' moves are Amare to the Knicks - which... bwahahahaha. I like Amare but the Knicks are a shambles of an organization. Credit Isiah Thomas for that. And Bosh to the Heat. And again the Raptors get hurt.

<p>Just popping by to add to the accolades so rightly showered upon the ReapeR of titles.</p><p> </p><p>
Sebsplex posted the WEF Bigger Shinier Beltbuckle in the GDS thread and allow me to say as beautiful as your beautiful and supposed to be spectacular ones are... the way you captured the cheap yet cherished look of the WEF's BSB was truly amazing.</p><p> </p><p>
Kudos ReapeR.</p>

Well, I decided to check some more random event names that popped up in my game and here are some notables:
- Number of the Beast- A very famous song from the band Iron Maiden
- Cliffhanger- This might be coincidence, but there is a movie with the same name, starring Sylvester Stallone.
Number of the Beast is a famous song by Iron Maiden, but it's also a much more famous Biblical reference to 666 and Satan. Which was made into a great novel by Robert Heinlein.
Cliffhanger is a throw back to the Westerns of the 50s (most recently) and actually orgininates with serial newspaper stories from the 1800s (Famously David Cooperfield by Charles Dickens was released chapter by chapter in the newspapers of the time.)
The phrase cliffhanger harkens back to the time when each week the cowboy would literally be hanging from a cliff edge and sure to plummet to his doom... before the show ended to make the viewers tune in next week.
And I'm with a lot of the people to agree that some of these connections are REALLY stretching things.

I'm wondering if you're taking requests? If so, could you transform all the PSW titles, into "SCW" (Steel City Wrestling) titles? I'm horrible at making these, but it seems like it could be a small and simple thing.
From the first page, first post in HUGE RED BOLD letters.
NO REQUESTS CURRENTLY.
Payne and ReapeR are working on C-Verse belts first. Once they've kindly donated their time to flesh out the C-Verse they may take requests. Until that time, you'll have to hold on... or steel some PSW titles until then. Since they're both Steely.
Also, Trell answered this same question about three posts ago.
And those TCW titles look fantastic.
I do want a Big Gold Belt without an eagle on it. I must be Canadian or something.

I disagree, Finn Balor has an Irish connection, plus a Game of Thrones connection, plus a D&D connection. That's win all around. And it sounds sweet on the tongue.
As for the name changes, branding, WWE trademark and licensing.
A lot of this can be attributed to CM Punk and his recent spat with the WWE. Pretty much every new talent will be rebranded and renamed. They will have input into their new names.
Brodus Clay and Kassius Ohno both 'picked' there names for various reasons.
Kassius for Cassius Clay and Ohno so it would rhyme with KO. Chris Hero deserves a lot of credit for one of the best bad names in recent wrestling history.
