p { margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 1em; } Championship Wrestling from St Louis - January 2020 Staff Road Agents: Tyson James Bailey & Warren Tewksbury Referee: David Poker Announcers: None Attendance: 106 Blue Dragon & Flying Patriot vs Eric LaMonica & Reilly Paton The first match in ECW history saw two somewhat makeshift teams thrown together. On one hand, the masked Americans of Blue Dragon and Flying Patriot who came out and highfived the crowd. On the other hand, Canadians. A relatively back and forth affair, Blue Dragon and Flying Patriot stood tall as the first ever winners in ECW following Blue's wicked Dragon Driver on Reilly. Blue Dragon and Flying Patriot defeated Eric LaMonica and Reilly Patton in 6:43 when Blue Dragon pinned Reilly Patton with the Dragon Driver. Rating: 27 Shown on the feed for the viewers at home, the ex-4C duo of Eric LaMonica & Reilly Paton were outside the arena commiserating on their defeat and how different things are in St Louis than they were in 4C....a comment overheard by Warren Technique who was getting in a pre match stretch. Wary at first about what Warren wanted, the veteran technician held his hands up and insisted he came in peace - wanting nothing more than to take the two wrestlers under his wing and help them reach their true potential. Nodding along, the trio walked off screen. Cheech Kong vs Kid Fantastic A stark contrast in appearances greeted the audiences with the flashy and self-involved Cheech Kong taking on the white haired high flyer Kid Fantastic. Whilst a contrast in appearances, the two wrestlers engaged in aerial warfare to the delight of the paying crowd. Wrapping things up with the Fantasm in just under 8 minutes, Fantastic barely even celebrated his win before sulking off to the back whilst Cheech threw a tantrum at ringside. Kid Fantastic defeated Cheech Kong in 7:54 by pinfall with the Fantasm. Rating: 36 Nathaniel Ca$ino vs TJ Bailey Old rivals in 4C reunited in the ring once more in the next contest of the night as St Louis' own TJ Bailey faced off against the high rolling Nathaniel Ca$ino - a man who infuriatingly refuses to acknowledge the existence of the letter s. Running at the first bell, the theme of the match was very much one of reluctant cat vs mouse with TJ not looking to indulge Ca$ino in his non$en$e too much until the moment Bailey's guard was down wherein Ca$ino would get in a $neak attack. Eventually getting back to a level footing, Bailey would find himself rocked from behind by the nascent West Coast wrestler Onslaught Making a $pla$h Laid out with the Double or Nothing afterwards, Ca$ino leapt to the outside of the ring following the victory bell and held aloft the arm of Onslaught in a sure sign of a dangerous alliance coming to ECW. Nathaniel Ca$ino defeated TJ Bailey in 11:46 by pinfall with the Double Or Nothing. Rating: 40 A pretaped promo aired next with the trio of Bret Kyle, Taylor Norton & Cheyenne boasted about how young, successful, hot and wasted they are right now. Too young, hot and wasted in fact to be stuck in boring, old, rundown St Louis so tonight will be a quick one as they put two never-was losers to rest before getting the first flight - first class obviously - out of this Mid West wasteland. Bret Kyle & Taylor Norton [Young & Wasted] vs Jazz Funk & Too Hot [Hot Funk] The team of Jazz Funk and Too Hot came out of the gates hot after Young & Wasted's comments pre-match, diving at the cocky youngsters before they'd made it into the ring to prove that they weren't the old dogs that they were made out to be. Keeping Bret and Taylor on the back foot, a momentary lapse in concentration caused by Cheyenne going after Hot Funk's manager Billie Krystal saw just enough time for Jazz Funk to planted with The Go Home before the three count saw Young & Wasted's pre-match premonition come to life. Young & Wasted defeated Hot Funk in 8:40 when Bret Kyle pinned Jazz Funk with The Go Home. Rating: 26 Drop Kix vs Warren Technique Another clash of styles in the semi main event of the night as the jingoistic journeyman Drop Kix took on the San Diego Stretcher and seeming mentor to Eric LaMonica and Reilly Paton, Warren Technique. A more even match that you'd expect given the resumes of each man, it would never the less be Warren who claimed victory with an STF. Post match, Eric and Reilly would come out to the ringside for something of a debriefing on the evening with Warren making the challenge for Drop Kix, Blue Dragon and the Flying Patriot to face off against Warren and his Learning Tree next month - a challenge reluctantly accepted by a wary Drop Kix. Warren Technique defeated Drop Kix in 11:24 by submission with a STF. Rating: 41 A live promo was up next, the opening refrains of the Dropkick Murphys' Time to Go leading out a man in black and gold. Introducing himself to the audience as Leftie Wilkes, a proud Bostonian the majority of the promo was just Leftie listing reasons why Boston was better than miserable little St Louis - more sports success, more recognition, more talented pro wrestlers. Opening up the floor to anyone, Leftie visibly wasn't expecting ex-TCW wrestler and the last ever 4C champion Harry Allen to come to ringside. A man of few words, Harry simply asked for Leftie to shut his mouth to the applause of the audience before getting a sucker punch for his interruption. Harry Allen vs Leftie Wilkes The main event of the night and another clash of former 4C individuals, the sucker punch saw Leftie take the quick advantage. Swarming on top of Harry, the smothering offence worked until a rope break drew a very close to 5 count and Referee David Poker admonishing Leftie for his abundant disregard for the rules. Evening out as the match went on, neither wrestler managed to get enough momentum going until after the ten minute mark. With Leftie waning, it looked all set for Harry to take the W. Setting up for the Flying Fist Drop that has served Harry well in his veteran career, a crafty timed stumble into the ropes saw the situation change. Winded and down from his perch, Harry just barely succumbed to a roll up with an added handful of Harry's gear ensuring Mr. Boston walked away the victor to the chagrin of the audience. Leftie Wilkes defeated Harry Allen in 13:07 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Rating: 33 Final Show Rating: 33

Like war on the entire state? That's impressive for a wrestling promoter.

p { margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 1em; } North American Wresting Alliance Formed by Larry Vessey in 2019 with the founding members being New York City Wrestling, FREEDOM Caribbean Wrestling, Twin City Promotions and Eagle Championship Wrestling, the North American Wrestling Alliance’s main aims are to carry on the original vision of the Confederation of the Territories - that being a collective effort to keep the independents alive without any involvement from the bigger promotions. Current Members New York City Wrestling (2019 - ) FREEDOM Caribbean Wrestling (2019 - ) Twin City Promotions (2019 - ) Eagle Championship Wrestling (2019 - ) Current Champions NAWA Prestige Current Champion: Frederique Lineage NAWA Junior Prestige Current Champion: Leftie Wilkes Lineage NAWA Tag Team Current Champion: The Canadian Blondes [Flash Savage & Ozzie Goldstein] Lineage

The Formation of the North American Wrestling Alliance The Confederation of the Territories was supposed to save the independents. That was Sam’s big pitch according to Larry. And it worked for a while. The business was booming and the promotions were singing from the same hymn sheet. Until Sam signed the deal with Kyle Rhodes. MAW went from being the crown jewel of the COTT to being the breeding ground for TCW’s next batch of wrestling stars and failures. In Larry’s own words, Sam changed the day the deal was signed. MAW’s focus shifted to their new masters. Claims of conversations made to some of Larry’s guys to shift their sights over to TCW. The issue that forced Larry’s hand was the closure of 4C. It always comes back to 4C. Turns out Troy had appealed for help from the COTT top bosses and whilst Larry was on board, Sam and Cliff from CZCW protected their own interests. Cliff was understandable, the West Coast hardly needed their own version of the fabled East Coast wars of the 90s. But Sam’s refusal was nothing short of a betrayal to Larry. The pitch was simple. He’d already gotten FCW down in Puerto Rico on board and the next step in his plan was two new promotions that could help carry the North American Wrestling Alliance into prominence. Eagle Championship Wrestling was one part of the process. Larry wanted something that would appeal to, in his words, “those internet freaks” and that’s where ECW came in. The outline from Larry was simple, he basically just wanted a carbon copy of 4C. The rest was down to me. The second part of Larry's process though? That was the surprising part.

July 2019 TJ Bailey - The hero of our story This story starts in July 2019. I remember the tension being thick in the room as the guys filtered back in one by one after the last 4C show. Troy Winner - 4C Owner (1996 - 2019) What came next isn’t so memorable, just more of Troy’s broken promises and a thousand other factors. The only thing that mattered to me was that after twelve long years, a company I’d considered home was dead and there was nowhere to go. CWA weren’t interested, I’d tried already. After twelve long years, it was time to return home. The new few months involved a lot of wistful sighs and sending out the same highlight reel to every promotion who didn’t make it difficult. All that resulted in was a few spot shows, promoters looking to use a cup of coffee in TCW as a selling point for their shows but nothing that kept wrestling as a long term option. Until one phone call changed everything. December 2019 Larry Vessey - NYCW Owner, fellow TCW Alumni The conversation was more pleasant than I remember Larry being back in 2004. Either time or promoting mellowed him out. I’d sent Larry a tape almost as soon as Troy shut up shop but all I got back was that it wasn’t the right time. This time, he had an idea on how to give back to the business. December 2019 - Onwards Eagle Championship Wrestling, The Rise of the Midwest

Hi, hey, hello. Do you, person reading this, enjoy the silly antics of Wrestlesaurus X but find yourself running a little out of ideas and having to bring in *shudders* regular wrestlers?! WELL SHUDDER NO MORE! Thunderverse Industries now has a complete compendium of additional WrestleX characters and bios that you can use (but are not required to use!) available right now! WrestleX.zip

Yeah, I spend most of my days there.

I love Orthworm, such a pleasant designed Pokemon. Tinkatonk is the absolute favourite for this generation though.

From two pages ago

oh no

Checked there and it's working for me on Chrome.

i'm gonna

does this suit u

This is where I'm at with it. It could play far better but it's a more fun Pokemon game than SwSh (I think Legends Arceus just edges it for how much fun it is to play). I've been fortunate enough to avoid any major issues though.

Covered by Arlie here

Do alts of logos count as alts? I guess they do. Got inspired by some of this year's Reverse Retro lines in the NHL and did a couple of logos. Big blue background guy as it turns out.

Gentle reminder that anything not released officially by GDS to mod/edit/whatever TEW (or any GDS games) can cause issues if things go wrong in the process. It's best to stick to the official/released methods even if it is the old fashioned data entry. Definitely one for the suggestions forum though.

Pokemon Sword/Shield were pretty good fun, dunno why they're as maligned in the wider internet. Looking forward to Scarlet/Violet dropping, Greavard is the goodest ghost friend.

Franchise Hockey Manager 9 out in 5 days time and the list of things tweaked/updated is tremendous. Really makes FM's lack of change in the last few years stand out.

i predict that ?? wins the casino battle royale because you've already put ?? as the winner

Tape to Tape looks pretty decent but it also looks like a tastes may vary kind of game.

Hello! As Adam's said above, if anyone has interested in joining the discord feel free to pop me a message. I might not respond straight away and I'll get everything sorted.

He's still in my basement, sorry
