  1. You were playing Wrespi 1 before I met you!
  2. I remember it was either EW5000, or EW6000 coming out, shortly after finding the prior version earlier in the week and I've been hooked on Adam's games every since.
  3. Special Singles Match "The Street Fighting Man" Jeffery McPeterson vs "Stone Cold Killer" Konrad Makinen I almost want too choose McPeterson, as he needs a win at some point and I thnk he's good for it, but Konrad is one of a very select few I really don't want to see lose at this point. I have to go for Konrad but not for my historical non-McPeterson bias King Of Ireland Championship "The Irish Stretching Machine" Merle O'Curle © vs "100 Killer" Gram Gorman Rough. I really think O'Curle is amazing, but I think I go with Gram partially to keep O'Curle more closely related to the dads then with a "real" group with Punisher. That and Gram is pretty amazing himself, and deserves the win of a non-weight based title. Welsh National Championship "The Swansea Kid" Neville Jones © vs "Punisher" Paul Hughes Nothing personal Kid, but I'm going for Punisher Special Trios Match The Rainbow Guard (Thunderbolt / Rhys Vali / Bali Daljit) vs Fight Team Punisher (Glen Ward / Gavin Owen / ???) Big win for Fight Team Punisher with Merle leading the way! BHOTWG International Championship Kinnojo Horri © vs "Unbreakable" Riddick Jordan Horri is going to make a great champion for a long while yet I think! Well at least until he loses the title in India Is this post too long? And has it really been two weeks since I posted already? Never! Do you believe that I've been putting a LOT of hours into modding CV97, and will you forgive me for that fans? Both of you? I personally don't know how to feel, as I want CV97, but I love this diary. Can I both never forgive you, yet at the same time cheer you on? Oh god, it's almost Cyberpunk 2077 release day, how am I gonna find the time?! So let me get this straight, so the game was supposed to come out a few days after my birthday this year, and then it ended up coming out a few days before yours? Illuminati confirmed! Uhhh.... did Wales get shafted with a relatively rubbish show again? You need to start running shows in Newcastle and give them the short end of the stick, they're used too it after all Actual useful question, is there anything about the format you can see that needs improved? In all seriousness, it's great. The one thing that would make my old man eyes very happy, is when you do all the results of your shows at the beginning of your posts, is that instead of just using italics on every other paragraph (which by the way, is a great help in itself) is potentially also bold? It would just help break up the paragraphs a bit better on my eyes, but that might jsut be on me. Consider it, or do something better I'm not thinking of Or of course continue as is and I'll be fine
  4. All England Championship "Magic" Martin Heath © vs "The X Factor" Petey Barnes Pure Wrestling Championship "The Grappler" Neil Warburton © vs Padraig O'Hearne Quick note: Absolute banger, and hard one to choose. Special Attraction NEO Prime (Kinnojo Horri / Michio Gensai) vs The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious / Riddick Jordan) Who, if anyone, will join Fight Team Punisher? (Gram Gorman / Merle O'Curle / Other(s)?) Konrad Makinen for the random guess! Minehead as the backup young lion guess! Who will the fifth and final Trial Series match be for Christian Black? Reaver! Who will be Michio Gensai's final match on this tour of FPW? Omezo Why has Leo Price been spotted at our Glasgow show and around SNP's shows recently? Looking for some prime Haggis! ** If such thing exists, otherwise to watch the best wrestling shows in the country! Why is my company's best match now a throwaway midcard tag match? Tag matches are best matches. Also obviously do too the storyline post after this one, the crowd totally dig the Lunar Eclipse!! Why do I totally overlook my Welsh shows so that they suck? One day you will have a Welsh Bret Hart, and when you do, everyone else on your roster will be Heel while your Welsh Hart Foundation will rule the roost! It'll be amazing!
  5. Nice group of new students! I think a miserable team Davis and Hobbs is already on the cards if they can deal with each other. Also have high hopes for the new Giant of the class! Big man with a good attitude? Oh no! Hooker's chances are stardom are ruined! FireBrand LIVE: Liverpool Pure Wrestling Championship “The Grappler” Neil Warburton © vs “The Shooter” Walter Morgan I see Warburton winning and really just establishing himself without any doubt as being the best pure wrestler in the company. In a way, he already has, but another win here against Morgan only further makes the point. FireBrand LIVE: Glasgow 5 v 5 Elimination Match Alton Vicious / Riddick Jordan © / Dwayne Dark © / Padraig O'Hearne © / JK Lee © vs Konrad Makinen / Curtis Jenkins / Jeffery McPeterson / Omezo Shikitei / Neil Warburton © The Office wins given how much they work together, but at the same point, this is a match with just so much talent. Should be a good one! BHOTWG The Burning Path VI BHOTWG International Championship “Unstoppable” Riddick Jordan © vs Kinnojo Horri Only match I don't have an immediate answer for. I'm kind of hoping for a Horri win here, just so we get too see him on some shows! Jordan winning however would be pretty epic! However noticing now where its happening... I... I think I have to go with Horri which is still awesome! Even though if Jordan wins... he could be the first man to really get brought up and leave FireBrand behind within too long, would be pretty awesome after only a year of shows! Lets go Jordan!? Kinda? Also, Horri! I'm so confused! :p
  6. ayyy What DO you want to see? I'm looking forward too seeing the next class of rookies! That's my first biggest hope, and I hope we get to see it soon! Also, despite not being my pick, I do hope at some point this year that Der.... I mean, Christian Black get's a trial series for winning the young lions cup! What matches would you book if you had the chance? Well, I've mentioned the trial series already, which I've mentioned in private some ideas for that, but besides that... Lets see... Neil vs Omezo, Gram getting singles changes against the big boys, VENOM vs Kokan or maybe even a elimination tag match between Unbound vs Size of the Fight(and whomever) or better yet, the FireBrand Dads. That would be great fun. A six man tag would be cool too see added this year, but I do admit, there is such a great amount of titles I won't be upset or surprised to not see that happen. It would be a great way to get the young lions involved with some titles though. Oh! Final thing! Tag teams being made up of young lions and older talents, maybe even a quick single elmination tag team tournament at some point. I wouldn't expect it too get the level of effort into it as the other tournaments, but it would be great to see these young lions to get more time in the ring with the vets! Who is your favourite wrestler of 2020? My second favorite is Omezo honestly. He comes in roughly half way through the year, and he got 4 of the top twenty matches of the year. Not saying he is the best, but genuinely he could be by the end of 2021 a International title contender/holder. My favorite is Merle. He put on an amazing year, he helped the company grow and honestly gave the company a reliable guy to main event while some of the less known talents proved themselves lower down the card. He deserves the largest PPA on the roster, and I hope he doesn't start going downhill for a long time to come, even though this will likely be his best year he'll ever have with the company... But it was an important one! Who is your least favourite? Jefferey McPeterson! In all seriousness, he's grown on me. It's unfair to say he is my least favorite anymore. He got some "Friendly" bookings earlier in the year, but he's obviously talented and worth it. As I said earlier, its a new company that needed time to develop, and with so many titles, it's so difficult to find that many champions/challengers without some people getting multiple chances. I don't know if I truly have a least favorite. However as I need to chose someone, I choose Rhys Vali, only because he shares a name with a young lion, and it makes things slightly confusing sometimes. Yes, that is a bit silly, but realistically I think thats a good sign Do you have a favourite stable? FireBrand dads for name alone. Realistically, I think its gotta be the Office. They've really taken over, and look very strong. I'd rather be saying the Unbound, because it's a much cooler group, but they didn't have as great of a year althoguh they did end it strong! So good for them! I think next year minus a group coming out of left field, Unbound will by my top group. Do you have a favourite young lion? Yes However I can't choose just one really. Honestly there has been so much good work here, that I can talk up several of the roster here. In fact I will, but I may leave people out as my memory is poopie caca Hari is the true alternative of the group, although Ryland also is a flyer, Hari is the true flyer of the group. Its nice too see both of them leading to a future of juniors, although I'm not sure if thats the route Ryland is really going. Ryland has all of the charisma of the group so far, but I'm super hopeful for Hari as well. Both of them are favorites, Hari the underdog and Ryland the enigma. Marty Ellison of course let me down in the tournament, but still shows the largest heart of everyone by not letting Mad Max get killed after his screw ups. Marty may not be the young lion ace, but is certainly an integral part of FireBrands first group of students, that will likely lead to something very interesting. His partner Hooker is also very interesting in how well he did in the cup, and certainly showed himself to be the grizzled angry rookie/vet for the future Minehead is terrifying. Black has shown great strategy, I can't wait to see him in some bigger matches too see how he fairs even in loss (as is of course expected of trial matches). I'll say this much, I really expect Black to add one more at least big piece to his repertoire soon, and I think it'll likely be some type of strike or top rope dive. Do you think you could help coach anyone on the roster? Realistically, of course not! Strategically, I would like to remind Ryland of the fact that he knows how to hurt people on the group occasionally. I'd like to remind Minehead that wrestling isn't Rugby, and he shouldn't yeet people to death, and Max that if he does something stupid again, he may in fact be booked against Minehead but with the stipulation that Minehead is allowed to yeet him to his hearts content. A truly scary thought
  7. FireBrand Young Lion Cup Finale From Birmingham BHOTWG International Championship “Unstoppable” Riddick Jordan © vs “The Irish Stretching Machine” Merle O'Curle Very much of two minds about this match. Riddick is a younger wrestler, has been a good champion, and probably will go on to have a longer reign.. But on the other side, Merle O'Curle is the best, has had largely some of the best matches the company has had to offer, and deserves not only this opportunity but also arguably this title on his resume. I'd love to see O'Curle win here, so he can go in defend in Japan at some point... But I don't know. I'm going with my heart instead of my mind I think, let's go Merle! Do the Irish proud! British Tag Team Championships The Office (JK Lee & Padraig O'Hearne) © vs W.A.R. (“The Grappler” Neil Warburton and Omezo Shikitei) Two for two on big important matches that are hard too choose. The Office are great champions, have been important parts of the roster, and are a really good team. On the other hand, while W.A.R. is newer, they are two important guys that I can see putting any titles on. Omezo is the future really in my opinion, and Neil is already proving himself in singles matches as well. I value Warburton and Shikitei more as individuals, although I'd happy see them win here, I'm instead going to give it too The Office as Lee and O"Hearne aren't no slouches either. 100kg Championship “100 Killer” Gram Gorman © vs Rohan Kirchner Gram wins I think. He's an important worker, very good, and will hopefully move up the the heavyweight division after having a great and lengthy 100kg title run. Sorry Rohan, but your not Gorman! Young Lion's Cup Final Christian Black vs Aurelian Bradley I'll give my thoughts post show, but I admit I'm sad to see Bradley in the final. Either of the other two men would have been more exciting to me, but in saying that, I do understand why Bradley is here and it's more personal opinion then outright fact. Good for Bradley really, but I'm rooting for Black to win it all to bring it home to the FireBrand Dojo! Punch him in the groin if you need too Christian! Get that win! Special Attraction Trios Match “Journeyman” Curtis Jenkins / “Magic” Martin Heath / Jon Michael Sharp vs “Stone Cold Killer” Konrad Makinen / “The X Factor” Petey Barnes / “The Street Fighting Man” Jeffery McPeterson First off, I'd like to say it feels strange to have McPeterson on the side of Barnes and Makinen, it just feels like he is more of a face then the other two. Obviously Barnes is a heel, and I understand Konrad being on that side of things too. I know it's not a perfect split or anything, but it just seems slightly out of place seeing him here... And thats not even my past bit of hatred towards him! He's grown on me! With that said, as much as it pains me to say it, I see team Jenkins winning, giving himself Heath and Sharp a win they can use, while I feel Barnes is a made man and McPeterson and Makinen can still deal well with the loss as well. HOnestly, it could go either way, but we shall see. SIDE PREDICTION! I could EASILY see either Marty Ellison and Mad Maxx against either The Size of the Fight or Hooker and Minehead too put Maxx and too a point Marty in line after what happenend last show. I imagine if so, it will be a painful experience for Maxx, and Ellison will spend a fair amount of time on the apron watching the beatings happen.. Book it Derek-O!
  8. <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 9</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> From London</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <em><strong>Scottish Heavyweight Championship</strong></em></p><p> <strong>Dwayne Dark © vs “Captain Crash” Cain Carlile</strong></p><p> <strong>Dark</strong> wins. Sorry Cap, I know you've done very well recently, but I don't see you winning. You've got some good wins in big tags, but the title isn't for you (at least not yet). </p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Heavyweight Tag Team</em></strong></p><p> <strong>Size Of The Fight (Hyosuke Kokan & Kansuke Konda) © vs The Unbound (Clubber Kohl & Crusher Von Steinberg)</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> <strong>The Unbound</strong> wins here, and make a large statement in the honor of VENOM. It's rough for Size of the Fight, but this is absolutely a match with a lot of build and Unbound are ready for it! </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Lynton Minehead vs Christian Black</strong></p><p> Minehead is the favorite. Black is the possible ace of the whole class.. It's a rough spot! And with my picks, having Hooker getting the win, means that both men need a win. I don't doubt Minehead would have been aggressive regardless, but Black may need to do more then the basics to get past the BeastHead that is Lynton. In fact, I think <strong>Black</strong> will finally breaking something out, and get a surprise victory to set up a very interesting, very Firebrand final! Hooker and Black being both true Firebrand Dojo grads, it's a chance for both men to really prove their trainers proud. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Aurelian Bradley vs Damian Hooker</strong></p><p> Truly the most important Cup match remaining honestly. I'm going with <strong>Hooker</strong> because I think his size will work well against Bradley's old school style. The age old Piledriver/Powerbomb versus the too big a person ending up in a backdrop will happen here, we all know it, it just depends on if thats enough to give Damian the advantage he needs. This win for Hooker makes the final group match all the more important! Just so you know, I've been doing these picks backwards this time! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Jermaine Granger vs Marty Ellison</strong></p><p> My disappointment is immeasurable and my cup picks have been ruined standing by Marty Ellison.

  9. FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 7 From Cardiff Welsh National Championship “The Swansea Kid” Neville Jones © vs Gavin Owen ... inside a steel cage! Simply put, it's too bad we didn't get the match that was supposed to happen here, but I think Jones keeps the title. 100kg Championship “100 Killer” Gram Gorman © vs VENOM Nice to see VENOM getting a title match, and this is a big match for Gorman of course, and it should be a great show. However I only see Gorman winning and starting his reign on a strong point with a win versus a very big opponent in VENOM. Damian Hooker vs Bryn Archer There are things I wasn't sure about when the tournament started, but make plenty of sense now. I think despite his size, Hooker being so big against all the other young lions gives him a distinct advantage, as most of the people in the tournament have really not gained the skills yet too really figure him out. Archer I don't think will get the win here, but he'll probably give it a good go. Lynton Minehead vs Marty Ellison Marty is my pick to win the thing... so it's hard not too pick Ellison to win for that reason. But Lynton genuinely seems like a strong pick to win it now, later in the tournament, and certainly seems to have this match in the bag. However... I can't give up on my early pick, and here's hoping for a surprise win for Marty Ellison despite everything, showcasing their big heart! Aurelian Bradley vs Hari Dubashi Bradley is up and down with results. Hari is up and down the ropes. Sadly, I think even though Hari will continue to go up and down the ropes, Bradley will come out on top. Bradley losing here pretty much puts him out of the cup, so a win here at least keeps him looking good for a bit longer. Jermaine Granger vs Rhys Ryland Granger is going to win, as he is a good talent that has a really good cup, but Rhys has been the most impressive in terms of growth of gaining character compared to the others, but he still needs to get his style down and make things work in ring. Christian Black vs Marc Maxx Black wins. Sorry Maxx, your not even worth a write up anymore. Darn you not picking up that cheeky win last time out! FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 8 From Norwich All England Championship “Journeyman” Curtis Jenkins © vs “Magic” Martin Heath Between the two title matches, I see Heath as the most likely challenger to win, but I still see Jenkins winning here. Jenkins needs the win, and Heath still has tag team glory too look forward too. Pure Wrestling Championship “The Grappler” Neil Warburton © vs Jon Michael Sharp Warburton has been a great champ. I don't see him losing to anyone but the best in the division. I just don't think Sharp is that guy really. Continuing the under-rating trend I'm sure Lynton Minehead vs Aurelian Bradley Bradley got a win the show before to keep him looking like a possibility, but I'm sure Minehead stops that here. Christian Black vs Damian Hooker Hooker has done really well all tournament, Black is right behind the top two. This is a huge match, possibly a finals contender decider in some ways. Hooker as said in my last prediction has been very strong, and in some ways may be the only pick of the true Firebrand rookies to have a chance at the cup realistically... but I'll go with Black as he plays spoiler and puts Hooker in a rough chance to getting in the finals with some tie-breaking losses too Minehead and Black, and making his match vs Bradley next time very important. Jermaine Granger vs Bryn Archer Both men doing well. Both still have a chance with getting into the final. With my picks, they'd both be tied here. I'm going to go with Archer for no reason, other then to now know for sure that Jermaine will definitely win instead. Marty Ellison vs Rhys Ryland Rough!!! Kinda! Fan favorites for sure in my opinion. Have to go with Ellison though. I think it's a fair and realistic pick as well, with it likely turning out much like the Rhys/Black match last time. I think Rhys will have his moments, but he will get a bit too excited and take his foot off the gas peddle, if you wiiiiiiiil. Still, good match, hope my pick wins (I need it!) and Rhys still impress. Hari Dubashi vs Marc Maxx This is the only time I will say this, as the super mark of the company, Hari needs to win here. He does. He's done well enough. He's an exciting talent. He's gotten close. He needs to win here, and this can't be a draw or the silly Maxx win. Hari deserves a win, and Maxx is understandably going to go the whole cup without picking up a point... And you know what? That's okay, especially considering the circumstances. If Dubashi loses, that hurts, as he really shouldn't be losing to a guy who some may whisper shouldn't be in the tournament if it wasn't for needing to make numbers! :eek:
  10. FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 5 From Glasgow 100kg Championship Rohan Kirchner © vs “100 Killer” Gram Gorman I really like Gram, and would love to see him grab his belt right back, but at the same point Rohan has done well enough and you don't wan't too see him just as an interim champion, so I'm going with Rohan despite me liking Gram more. On the plus side, hopefully it'll see him moving forward into non-weight limited title belts, like the Size of the Fight dads would be proud to see. Aurelian Bradley vs Jermaine Granger For someone who was scouted as not always paying the most attention, Jermaine has been absolutely doing better then I would have expected. Bradley is on a losing streak, and Granger just lost too black, so they both have something to prove. I'm going with Bradley but that just means Jermaine is likely going to win Christian Black vs Rhys Ryland I like how Ryland has become the funky weapon of Firebrand wrestling, despite I figured he would be the stoic technical guy. Good for him for breaking down expectations. Black however is still a strong contender to win the cup, and as much as Ryland is probably winning fans faster then most, I don't think he will win this match. Damian Hooker vs Hari Dubashi Seriously this could go either way. I honestly think full-speed Hari Dubashi is going to beat slowed down Hooker, probably catch him off guard. Hooker is doing very well, but Dubashi just beat the "Ace" ( ) so he's obviously on a roll! If Hooker does win, I bet it's a standing lariat that leaves Hari flipping over and over again Marty Ellison vs Bryn Archer So alright, maybe Marty Ellison isn't actually the Ace as it turns out . I'm still not going to turn on him, as he's still in with a chance for the cup himself, so despite Archer being a favorite, Ellison is back to his winning ways! Lynton Minehead vs Marc Maxx I'm sorry Maxx, Minehead is going to kill you. FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 6 From Dublin Adrenaline Championship “The X-Factor” Petey Barnes © vs Thunderbolt I still see Petey keeping the title, but Thunderbolt is pretty great. I hope this is a great match that gives Thunder a chance to shine! King of Ireland Championship “The Irish Stretching Machine” Merle O'Curle © vs Omezo Shikitei Dream match right here! O'Curle is in for a big title match of his own soon for the International title, so you'd think he'd win here in his home country... but Omezo is not only a future pick, but a right now pick at being able too lead the company forward. Incredibly talented, just not as popular as the older Merle for understandable reason. Christian Black vs Bryn Archer To be honest, Archer loses against Marty the night before, and gets a win back here too keep him in things. Same with Black, having gotten a win the night before, he likely needs to be slowed back down here. Damian Hooker vs Marty Ellison Tag team partners compete! I've always seen it as Hooker as Harper with Marty as Anderson, so I have too choose Ellison. As much as I could see Hooker win here, as his strength is stronger then any of Marty's individual skills, its the fact that Marty works with Hooker so much that I can imagine Marty would know best how to counter him. Lynton Minehead vs Hari Dubashi Hari either goes on a godly streak here against the big men, and becomes the big man killer, or more likely we see Lynton rugby pounce Hari across the ring. Here's hoping for Dubashi, but Minehead is in fact a man with a bomb for a head. Aurelian Bradley vs Rhys Ryland The Funky One Ryland gets a pretty good win and gets himself back in the race to win the cup, even if it is as an outsider. Keeps things interesting! Bradley isn't bad, but I imagine Ryland is turning some heads, and will get some results sooner then later! Jermaine Granger vs Marc Maxx Alright, alright, alright... Maxx! Okay, so here me out, Granger will FINALLY make a mistake and not pay enough attention to his opponent, and I will finally be right about Granger's mentals keeping him from getting an easy win! I blame the scout reports by the way! Also, it'll be nice to see Maxx get a win. On the other side of everything I've said, as Granger is repeatedly my spoiler, I figured maybe I can break the system with a Maxx win!
  11. FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 3 From Newcastle Pure Championships “The Grappler” Neil Warburton © vs “The Bulldog” JK Lee Still see The Grappler holding the title after this one honestly. Good for Lee to get a singles title match though! Lynton Minehead vs Jermaine Granger Minehead is doing well so far, and I see him continuing here. Jermaine has been doing better then I expected here, but at some point his lack of attention is going to mess him up, and with how good Minehead has been I think it'll happen here for sure. Christian Black vs Hari Dubashi Black has been very cautious sticking to what he knows and showing great maturity for a young lion in someways, and a lack of ambition in others. Hari with his super cool finisher, and overall more ambitious/dangerous new style could either do him well or really fail for him. This is a tough one. I want to see Hari's drive and ambition do well, but I think sadly his high risk style may be his undoing versus the more careful Black Aurelian Bradley vs Marty Ellison I obviously imagined good things for Bradley, and it has been. Marty has been left in the lurch abit so far, and he will have too pick it up in order for him to have any chance. Admittedly, I think I should change my pick and still imagine the potential of Ellison being a shoe-in for potential Sekigun leader, while Bradley is a more likely winner of the match and cup... But I'm still going to root for Marty here so I might as well pick him! Damian Hooker vs Rhys Ryland Genuinely expected to be picking Ryland here as a more technical worker, who'd be able to work on Hooker's bad knee, but for whatever reason it really does seem like Ryland wants to be a flyer more then a technician. For that reason, I think Hooker could potentially yeet Ryland with a lariat out of his skin! Bryn Archer vs Marc Maxx I feel slightly bad, but honestly... Archer isn't even a question, and it's fair and understandable to know why. Poor Maxx, hopefully he is learning alot from this though! FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 4 From Manchester Winner Challenges for the BHOTWG International Championship “Journeyman” Curtis Jenkins vs “The Irish Stretching Machine” Merle O'Curle Great match up! I don't know who too root for, but I certainly think that's a good thing! Both are great, have done well, and both are about even coming in. I'm going too go for Merle for nostalgic reasons if nothing else. Lynton Minehead vs Rhys Ryland Same as in the Hooker match the night before, if Ryland had gone more technician then flyer, maybe I would have seen him get a win over Hooker and a better showing here, but I see Minehead winning even stronger then Hooker, and probably putting himself in prime position to take the cup. Lets hope the Hooker match puts Ryland in his place somehow and he comes out with a more mat based style vs Lyton instead! Christian Black vs Jermaine Granger Rough one. Depends on the prior match a bit really. I'm going to go with Granger here but root for a true young lion of the company in Black. I don't expect too be wrong here, but I'd happily accept it. I imagine Grangers added experience will do him well. Aurelian Bradley vs Bryn Archer Good match, likely the match of the night for the young lions. I see Bradley winning for sure, but I think Archer can give him some trouble. Here's hoping I'm right about the MOTN and Archer having a good showing! Damian Hooker vs Marc Maxx This should be fun! Sorry Maxx but in this one we may get a real squash with the first big guy in Hooker facing off with him, if Hooker isn't hurting from a long night with a technician the show before. Marty Ellison vs Hari Dubashi In style and excitement, you root for Hari Dubashi. In emotion and spirit, you root for Marty Ellison. I'm going to go with Marty two-fold here. I'm not changing my pick of winner despite how unlikely it feels now, but more importantly I rooting with my gut that Marty's fighting spirit will prevail!
  12. <p><span style="font-size:18px;">FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 1</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"> From Birmingham</span></p><p> </p><p> <em><strong>British Tag Team Championships</strong></em></p><p> <strong>Padraig O'Hearne / JK Lee © vs Don Henderson / Axl Grease</strong></p><p> </p><p> I see a successful but entertaining title defense here. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Lynton Minehead vs Damian Hooker</strong></p><p> I'm of two minds, but I'm going with my gut. Hooker being the big man is going to put quite the beating on Minehead, that will hurt him going into the next match, but I still see <strong>Minehead</strong> winning as he is a favorite of the tournament. I could also see Minehead losing here, and it leading to drama later down the road if he ends up winning the cup. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Christian Black vs Aurelian Bradley</strong></p><p> <strong>Black</strong> will get the win here in the first match I think, with Bradley's lack of focus despite Black's over confidence. I think this is an important match to help see where either are going, it's either going to force Bradley to take things seriously or bring Black back down to reality. We shall see. Kind of wish I didn't have to guess for two shows this time! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Jermaine Granger vs Hari Dubashi</strong></p><p> A match between two good athletic rookies, probably as good as a match as <strong>Hari</strong> will see this tournament, so I'm hoping he gets a win here before his size lets him down more and more with his smaller frame as the tournament goes on. Granger will be fine and move on, hopefully with a better head on his shoulders getting beaten by one of the dark horses of the tournament in his first match.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Marty Ellison vs Marc Maxx</strong></p><p> Unless wrestling is fake ( <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ) <strong>Marty</strong> has this. It's nice to see the two friends have their first match together, but unlesss Marty decides to be nice and give his friend a win, there is no way Maxx has any chance right now against one of potentially my picks to win it all. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Bryn Archer vs Rhys Ryland</strong></p><p> I believe Ryland's technical style could be very good for him this tournament, and that he'll pick up some wins later on, but <strong>Archer</strong> I think has an outside chance of winning it all in my books. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>FireBrand Young Lion Cup Day 2</strong></p><p><strong> From Manchester</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Adrenaline Championship</em></strong></p><p> <strong>“The X Factor” Petey Barnes © vs “The Electric Live Wire” Hyosuke Kokan</strong></p><p> Good to see Kokan in a singles title match, but I don't see him picking up the win on new champion <strong>Petey</strong> here. Good match too see though, between the two vets. Petey obviously didn't have the career Kokan did, and is likely looking forward to showing him up. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Lynton Minehead vs Bryn Archer</strong></p><p> Big match here I think! With what I said in the last show, I think <strong>Archer</strong> will win with the damage of the first night from Minehead's match with Hooker still sticking with him. Archer is very good, but a bit of luck with the scheduling will see him with a good chance for a big victory in the long run of things!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Christian Black vs Marty Ellison</strong></p><p> I saw Black getting the win on the first night, as his opponent didn't focus, but I see his overconfidence giving <strong>Marty</strong> a second win after a easy first night out vs Maxx. It's good to see Marty potentially getting a good start too the Cup, and I think this is a case for Black to calm down early and keep himself in it with a decent enough start already.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Aurelian Bradley vs Marc Maxx</strong></p><p> I'm sorry Maxx, Marty was probably nice to the least experienced of the group in night one, but I see <strong>Bradley</strong> strongly getting a win here with less fan fair potentially. Although Bradley tends to miss some of that killer edge, you have to imagine all of the young lions feel like they have something to take out on Maxx, even if the team leader Marty has helped him rejoin the class.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Damian Hooker vs Jermaine Granger</strong></p><p> Granger I gave the loss night one, and I feel strange giving him a second loss so early, but I feel the monster <strong>Hooker </strong>will take out his frustrations from a night one loss out on Granger here. The biggest man Hooker will likely wear down during the tournament, as many big men tend to do in these things, but he must still be a bit fresh and I imagine Granger will be unlucky to face him so early in the Cup.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Hari Dubashi vs Rhys Ryland</strong></p><p> <strong>Ryland </strong> will have his chance to keep the lighter man on the ground and away from the new flashier moveset that he will likely look to debut at the Young Lion Cup. Hari is just in for a very bad style match up here, and Ryland will be given possibly his best chance to show in a competitive match in the cup how good he can be in the future. Hari just needs some time to really grow into his new style and moveset as well, but this night probably won't be a good one for him.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> BONUS POINT AVAILABLE: If you predict the winner of the Young Lions Cup here</p><p> </p><p> This is a rough one. I will give one answer as obviously that's fair, but I can see multiple people potentially winning it, which is what makes this Cup so exciting. But I want too see it be <strong>Marty Ellison</strong>. Repeatedly has learned from his mentor, has helped bring back someone too the fold, has worked with largely everyone and just seems to deserve it as a good leader into the future. I don't know if Marty will be the type too really be ace in the future of the company, but at this point if anyone deserves it more then Marty, I'm not sure who. There are multiple people who could win mind you, but I think its fair to say Marty would be the realistic heart warming victory. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
  13. ayy Adrenaline Championship ”Magic” Martin Heath © vs “The X Factor” Petey Barnes This match is big, and I think Petey Barnes is going to win after such a big debut, but at the same point I can see him losing at his first attempt to humble him a bit. Martin has been a good champion, so I do hope he's able to keep it. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships Size Of The Fight © vs The Assassins' Guild I don't see Size of the Fight losing the title back too the Guild. I think the Office will end up taking the title at some point, unless the new hotness comes around sometime soon Non-Title Curtis Jenkins, Martin Heath and Jon Michael Sharp vs Merle O'Curle, Neil Warburton and Omezo Shikitrei An exciting match really! I'm going with Merle, Neil and Omezo, and I'll make the extra guess that it'll be Omezo taking the victory. I see Omezo getting closer and closer to a big title match, and Merle and Neil are no slouches either! Random notes Merle O'Curle and Punisher Paul Hughes is a super cool tag team. The world needs more of that. The True Firebrand Young Lions got screwed by bad booking by Barry Griffin! Keep that man away from the pencil! He has something against the group! I think he was paid off by Jeffery McPeterson! Speaking of Jeffery, I will admit, he had two pretty good title matches this month. He's obviously talented. Too bad him and Barry are working against the future of the business!
  14. First off McPeterson is "No True Scotsman!"tm But really, I do completely understand by keeping it short and sweet means there is only so much time. I think you've done a great job of giving some outside stories while also keeping things moving. I really like it, and I'm sure we are going to see more and more of different people and likely see a continued focus on the rookies, which is great. I do enjoy the outside the ring stuff, and I'm happy that the longer writing in this story is about that instead of long match write ups. I think what your doing gives much more character, and makes me care much more for people you spotlight. Now get to work on getting us too the Young Lion cup!
  15. Adrenaline Championship Martin Heath © vs Jeffery McPeterson Martin Heath. My heat with McPeterson is real. I admit, him losing two straight title matches is terrible, but I for whatever reason have decided I don't like him, and it would also in reality devalue the Adrenaline title as well. IT's probably best to get rid of McPeterson after this, so I don't have to keep rooting against him 100kg Championship Rohan Kirchner © vs Thunderbolt Smark in me knows Rohan is keeping the title, but Thunderbolt if my pick because it's still real too me dang nabbit! All England Heavyweight Championship Curtis Jenkins © vs Merle O'Curle Tough match! I'm going with Merle O'Curle so we can see an Irish England Heavyweight champion. Outside of that, Curtis will probably win, and I think to me its the most interesting important match of the month. With this much McPeterson going on, it's really hard to get excited for the pickum's! Scottish Heavyweight Championship Dwayne Dark © vs Jeffery McPeterson Dwayne. What does McPeterson have on you Derek!?!? :p;) I like what you did this post Derek. Adding developments about the young lions is great, as that's what this diary is all about. Right now the closest connections as a reader I have is too The Unbound, Size of the Fight, and the young lions and it makes sense. As things build up, I'm sure more people will come too matter more and more, and it's not too say I don't like certain workers because of different games I've played of TEW, but they are all becoming their own in your game ahead of everyone else. Marty Ellison of the Young lions seems to really becoming potentially a real leader of the group, not only bringing back in Maxx, but learning so much from their mentor. I don't know if they are talented enough to become ace, but I see them either leading the Sekigun in the future, or having their own successful group. The company is still in the build up phase, and I do think giving a person who only had two matches in the past month, one of which was a loss in a title match, and one was a win in a trios, isn't that great. I don't think I'd do any better in the position you are in with so many titles and such though. You in an unenviable position of trying to build something up so quickly. Your doing a great job with the diary, I really enjoyed the backstage stuff in the dojo, and I'm excited to see Omezo take over the Isles soon. I hope you understand my critique is merely discussion, and I am enjoying this greatly!
