Tom Lawlor Charged With Trespassing, Assault <div style="text-align:center;">ROHWrestling.com Exclusive After yet another incursion by Tom Lawlor on Ring of Honor property during Manhattan Mayhem, Lawlor was charged with simple trespassing and after his vicious assault on an official was also charged with simple battery. Lawlor, upon his release from the station spoke with local reporters and said, "I'd do it again if I don't get my fair opportunity. Todd Sinclair screwed me out of my chance to make a name for myself in Ring of Honor and I won't stop this crusade until I get a fair opportunity at proving myself in the ring. While my actions are radical, they are my only option since FORMER COO Joe Koff attempted to ban me from the arena. Now that the old man is officially retired, I've asked my agents to pull some strings and see about getting me appropriate access to Ring of Honor." In the coming weeks as we move towards ROH Anniversary, Ring of Honor will formally announce a new CEO, the current plan is for the new CEO to be announced during Anniversary. But, as Ring of Honor looks toward the future, they better also keep a keen eye out for "Filthy" Tom Lawlor as he may have other plans for the new CEO...</div>

Ring Of Honor Manhattan Mayhem, 2018 <div style="text-align:center;"> Ring Of Honor Manhattan Mayhem 2018 Live on Pay Per View, Available Exclusively Through Fite.TV February Week 3, Sunday, 2018 Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Bobby Cruise and Colt Cabana The Hammerstein Ballroom was rocking as the pre-show audience was treated to War Machine defeating the Best Friends in a pre-show bout. </div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;"> As the show went live on Fite.TV; Kenny King wandered out to the ring, Television Title draped over his shoulder. He issued an open challenge to any current ROH roster member, saying he is a TV Star and needs to be on PPV. Freshly returned from Japan, Jay White answered the challenge. ROH Television Title Kenny King {C} defeated Jay White If your going to be cocky, you better back it up. Kenny King did exactly that, taking down Jay White in a solid match-up. The win was King's first defense of his newly reacquired TV Title. </div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;"> After the match we saw a sepia-toned promo with Silas Young sitting on a porch overlooking a wide-open pasture. Young was drinking a beer, and seemed to be alone in his thoughts. As the camera panned closer to him he turned and focused on it. He mentioned the first 6 weeks of 2018 didn't go as planned and now the Last Real Man was taking some time to drink some beers, solve some problems, and refocus. </div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Odinson defeated Josh "The Goods" Woods In the battle between the last two Top Prospect Tournament winners, Odinson showed why he was a force to be reckoned with. He controlled the pace of the match and hit a huge fall-away slam he calls "The End" to win the match. As Todd Sinclair raised his hand, "Filthy" Tom Lawlor jumped the barricade and slid into the ring, he immediately locked a chokehold onto Todd Sinclair and dropped him to the mat. Odinson seemed unfazed and headed backstage. Meanwhile Lawlor pulled tighter on Sinclair's neck until Sinclair stopped moving. Lawlor stood up, dusted himself off, and demanded a microphone. He started to call out Joe Koff, but was immediately confronted by Josh Woods, who had just recovered from the loss. Woods and Lawlor exchanged punches and the brawl was on. Joe Koff, flanked by many of New York's finest, marched to the ring and tried to get a hold of the scenario. The Police and venue security separated Woods and Lawlor and Koff stood in the middle of the ring demanding to know how Lawlor got in the building. Lawlor smirked and mentioned having friends in high places. He told the police to not lay a hand on him... he'd peacefully give himself up. He laughed as officers handcuffed him and escorted him from the ring, yelling "Enjoy retirement, Joe!" The announcers reminded us that tonight was Joe Koff's final show as ROH COO and that he was retiring at the end of the night. They mentioned Lawlor was detained only two weeks ago, and banned from future Ring of Honor events. Lawlor was clearly trespassing tonight, and he'll certainly face charges for tonight's incident.</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Backstage: Dalton Castle, flanked by The Boys, cut a promo about how much the Ring of Honor World Championship meant to him.

Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship Fight Without Honor Motor City Machine Guns {C} vs. The Briscoe Brothers <img alt="xudhQ89.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xudhQ89.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="odACYrQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/odACYrQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />VS<img alt="l8MTPbW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/l8MTPbW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="QLxbVjg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QLxbVjg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Unlike most Ring of Honor match-ups, a Fight Without Honor does not require the teams to shake hands before the match, it also doesn't follow traditional rules. Meaning there would be no tags, and anything would go. The Briscoes, seemingly more adept at this style of match took advantage early and held an advantage heading into the middle part of the match. Like all good stories, the middle part of the match saw a great comeback from the Guns. At one point Chris Sabin even hit Jay Briscoe with an apron Cradle Shock. As he rolled him back into the ring though, Mark Briscoe came in and broke-up the pin. The middle part of the match also saw weapons introduced into the match as the Briscoe's used the chains from their ring gear to choke Alex Shelley and whip Chris Sabin. Undaunted, the Guns fought back and seemingly had the upper-hand as Alex Shelley grabbed Mark Briscoe and ran to the corner... he bounded up the ropes and went to flip-over Mark for the Sliced Bread #2, but Briscoe pushed him away and sent him flying over the ropes to the floor. He turned his attention to Sabin who was crawling to his feet in the middle of the ring and took him back down with a kick to the gut. A little Redneck Karate, and a Mark Briscoe Froggy Bow from the top-rope with his elbow wrapped in the chain, led to the 1-2-3 and NEW Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions. The Briscoe Brothers defeated The Motor City Machine Guns to become the NEW Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions Leaving little time to gloat, War Machine walked out onto the stage and menacingly stared down the new champs. These two teams lit it up last month and the feud that seems to be developing should be a rough and tumble one.</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Backstage The Young Bucks are chatting with Hangman Page and Marty Scurll. They tell them they are going to respect The Addiction's wishes and that Hangman should stay in the back tonight. Grudge Match The Addiction defeated The Young Bucks Turn back the clocks as this was a vintage Christopher Daniels performance. The Young Bucks made a pre-match mistake thinking that The Addiction didn't have a plan as late in the match Rocky Romero heading to ringside and distracted Matt Jackson, which allowed Daniels to steal a victory. Post-Match Romero joined The Addiction for a 3-on-2 beatdown. Hangman Page ran out to even the score and the teams brawled for a bit.

Cody and Dalton both seemed intensely focused throughout the match and both men seemed to have scouted the other extremely well. Dalton went for an early Bang-A-Rang only for Cody to slip out and lock on the American Nightmare Lock, Dalton managed to get to the ropes and both men headed to their corners to regroup. Dalton being fanned by The Boys and Cody being massaged by Brandi. As the match restarted we saw a new fire lit under both men. Cody and Dalton went back and forth, but Cody's experience seemed to give him the upperhand. The fans were hot and the finish upcoming, as Cody took Dalton to a knee, went for a Disaster Kick, but Dalton had it scouted and jumped out of the way but Cody also had it planned out and landed and spun and reverse heel kick to Dalton's skull. With Dalton down Cody locked on the American Nightmare Lock in the middle of the ring and forced Dalton to tap, crowning Cody as the NEW and now two-time Ring of Honor World Champion Cody defeated Dalton Castle to become the NEW Ring of Honor World Champion Cody and Brandi celebrated together in the ring both holding their belts high in the sky as streamers flew through the air.</div> </div></blockquote> -------------------------------------------------------------- Match Ratings: Pre-Show: War Machine defeated Best Friends (C-) Kenny King defeated Jay White (D-) Odinson defeated Josh Woods (E+) Punishment Martinez defeated Cheeseburger (E) The Addiction defeated The Young Bucks (C-) Jay Lethal, Will Ospreay and Flip Gordon defeated The Kingdom (D+) The Briscoes Defeated Motor City Machine Guns © Cody Defeated Dalton Castle (C-) Overall Show C- -------------------------------------------------------------- Prediction Contest (Through 3 of 5 Events Pre-Prize; Most Correct Wins, with Percentage correct as tie-breaker) (Remaining PPVs: Anniversary and Supercard of Honor) KnowYourEnemy 2/4 + 4/7 (+1 TPT Finals) (Current: 7/11) DGenerationMC 2/4 + 4/7 + 4/6 (Current: 10/17) BHK1978 2/4 + 3/7 + 4/6 (Current 9/17) Warhawk8492 2/7 + 4/6 (Current 6/13) Uncrewed 2/7 Wolfman84 4/7 Blodyxe 4/7 + 4/6 (Current 8/13) Kijar 2/6 Martel123 3/6 (+1 for TV Title Bonus, Jay White) (Current: 4/6) ------------------------------------ Comments: Believe it or not Brutal Bob is still wrestling... just saw him do a over the top rope plancha to the floor and bust his head open two weeks ago... Appears to be mainly teaching seminars and wrestling at the same show now. I decided to put the belt back on Cody because he's significantly more popular than Dalton (in-game) and has been getting better ratings. Keeping in mind I booked Final Battle as it was in real life, I like Cody as champ better for the current situation... Plus I think the storylines flow better with him on-top. Dalton Castle becomes only the second ROH World Champ ever to not successfully defend his title. The Lawlor storyline is one I'm really excited about, I hope I can do it justice as it develops. With Joe Koff retiring in game (right after this PPV) and leaving the business, I wanted to create a story behind that. Plus I wanted to develop some of the lower/midcard with new faces like Lawlor, Odinson, and even some like Josh Woods. Scorpio Sky was a disaster in ring for me, wasn't clicking with anyone, decided to just write him off... then I realized I had Romero on the roster and doing nothing... he's also from LA (like Daniels and Kazarian)... so it was natural. Welcome to new predictors!

ROH TV February Week 2 and 3 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV February Week 2 <img alt="2ASkH71.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2ASkH71.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Two shows before Manhattan Mayhem, The Bullet Club opened the show in the ring, they said tonight was about solving problems. Problems like SoCal Uncensored, and Cody's lack of a World Title. That segment led us to Scorpio Sky taking on Marty Scurll. Scurll took home the victory and got the Bullet Club's night off to a great start. After the match, The Addiction said they wanted to face the Young Bucks at Manhattan Mayhem, and wouldn't need Scorpio Sky's assistance to win. Backstage with see a hooded figure with his back facing the camera. Behind him, facing the camera, we see Punishment Martinez. The figure is imploring Punishment to come home and find his redemption. Back in the ring The Briscoe Brothers annihilated Coast 2 Coast. Post-match the Briscoes continue the beatdown until the Motor City Machine Guns make the save and send the Briscoes to the back. Flip Gordon defeated Matt Taven in a match that was used to set-up a 6-man tag at Manhattan Mayhem. Post-match The Kingdom's 3-on-1 beatdown was interrupted by Jay Lethal and Will Ospreay. Lethal immediately told Taven and company that they'd see them in Manhattan. In the main event Cody and The Young Bucks defeated Dalton Castle and The Boys. Castle and Cody had a great exchange in the middle of the match and the PPV Main Event should be a great match-up. The finish show Cody hit one of the Boys with the Cross Rhodes for the 1-2-3. </div> </div></blockquote> ------------------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV February Week 3 <img alt="shUnoZC.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/shUnoZC.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The show opened with Punishment Martinez absolutely obliterating enhancement talent, Julian Starr. As the match ended we saw the Hooded Figure on the screen imploring Martinez to "Come Home". Josh "The Goods" Woods defeated "Brutal" Bob Evans in an awful match-up, Odinson hit the ring post-match and leveled Woods with a huge "Pounce" followed by a Spinebuster in the center of the ring. The announcers hyped the 2017 Top Prospect Tournament winner, Woods, facing 2018 Top Prospect Tournament winner, Odinson in Manhattan. Hangman Page defeated Scorpio Sky in another mediocre showing for Sky. Sky's losing streak continued and Post-Match The Addiction announced that Scorpio Sky was booted from SoCal Uncensored and that he has been a massive disappointment to them. The Addiction said that their tag match with the Young Bucks would be mano-a-mano, two vs. two, no one on accompanying either team to the ring. War Machine made their first showing in the month of February, hitting Fallout and defeating The Dawgs. Hanson really shined in this match-up. We then got a PPV Preview Video highlighting some of the match-ups, in particular Cody vs. Dalton Castle and The Kingdom facing Jay Lethal, Flip Gordon, and Will Ospreay. The main event saw The Motor City Machine Guns defend their Tag Titles, defeating The Beer City Bruiser and Silas Young. As one can expect, The Briscoes post-match made their presence known and formally made the challenge. Sabin and Shelley, before accepting, made one change. This will be a FIGHT WITHOUT HONOR.</div> </div></blockquote> --------------------------------- Ring of Honor Manhattan Mayhem Pay-Per-View Preview Confirmed Card Ring Of Honor officials formally confirmed six match-ups for Manhattan Mayhem, but as always reserve the right to add additional matches as the night progresses. One of those potential additions involves the TV Title as Kenny King has reportedly issued an open challenge to anyone currently on the roster whom he hasn't faced. (Small hint he has appeared on one of the results images) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <ul><li>Josh "The Goods" Woods vs. Odinson </li><li>Punishment Martinez vs. Cheeseburger </li><li>Grudge Match: The Addiction vs. The Young Bucks </li><li>6-Man Tag: Flip Gordon, Jay Lethal and Will Ospreay vs. The Kingdom </li><li>Fight Without Honor For The ROH Tag Titles: Motor City Machine Guns {C} vs. The Briscoe Brothers </li><li>ROH World Championship: Cody vs. Dalton Castle {C} Bonus Question: -Who will Kenny King defend the TV Title against? </li></ul> </div></blockquote>

Names like Kyle O'Reilly, Jonathan Gresham, Adam Cole, Hangman Page and closing with images of our Television champ, Silas Young and our World Champion, Dalton Castle.

This match-up was really well balanced with all four men getting equal offense through the first 10 minutes or so of the match. The first elimination came in the form of Matt Taven, as Punishment Martinez pinned him after the South of Heaven Chokeslam. Cody and Lethal began to work together to take down Martinez and he fell victim to a Disaster Kick, followed by the Lethal Combination and was the second elimination... Lethal and Cody circled each other in the ring, both men wanting the opportunity. They locked up and Cody took the initial advantage, throwing Lethal into the corner where he worked him over with rights and lefts. Lethal mounted a comeback, forcing Cody into retreat and hitting a huge Tornado DDT that stunned Cody. Lethal had him set-up for the Lethal Injection but Cody pushed him off and he went through the air. This set the stage for Cody to hit the Cross Rhodes, but sensing that wouldn't be enough to put Lethal away, Cody locked in the American Nightmare Lock (Inverted Figure Four) and forced Lethal to tap. Cody is once again in prime position to challenge for the ROH World Title. Cody Rhodes defeated Matt Taven, Punishment Martinez and Jay Lethal to become the new #1 Contender for the ROH World Title. The show went off the air with Dalton Castle stepping onto the ring apron and Cody clapping, holding out his hand, now with the ring back on it, and saying "Kiss The Ring"...

KnowYourEnemy 2/4 + 4/7 (+1 TPT Finals) (Current: 7/11) DGenerationMC 2/4 + 4/7 (Current 6/11) BHK1978 2/4 + 3/7 (Current 5/11) Warhawk8492 2/7 Uncrewed 2/7 Wolfman84 4/7 Blodyxe 4/7 Comments: BHK1978: You haven't seen the last of Lawlor, ... so perhaps you haven't quite overvalued the overness ;-). Also... completely with you, Punishment Martinez is a ridiculous name. For now this is how I'm going to present the PPV's, I have custom cuts for the whole roster, but I think, at least initially I'm just going to use them to highlight the match of the night, which will also get a more detailed write-up. TV Tapings will continue to be just quick results with storyline details and then a preview for the PPV. There will be random internet and ROH Exclusive stories mixed it. I have a couple stories that I think will be fun to develop that kick off in the next batch of TV tapings, so I'm looking forward to getting those out there! Keeping in mind that I booked Final Battle the way ROH actually did it, I chose to flip the TV title back to Kenny King. He and Silas just didn't put on a good match. I haven't seen a ton of Odinson in person, but I like the look and think he fits the ROH style well. I have some thoughts on how it'll develop but we shall see how it goes. We also haven't seen the last of a some of the TPT participants, I have one of them written in for a fun storyline coming up. Cody, for me, is the ultimate contender/champion. It only made sense for him to win while opening the door for the other guys to move into other feuds or stories. With the game giving me Joe Koff's impending retirement, that will also start to play into this story.

Hate the Game

Texasrangers13 replied to Beejus's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 Dynasties

Really liked this concept of the pre-show hype. Definitely a good use of that hour. I hadn't ever really thought about it that way, especially since it keeps guys "on the show" Indian Strap Match “Da Man” Goldberg vs. “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner ---He has a 142 2/3% chance of winning. Pride Match Steel Cage I Quit Match featuring Prideful Wagers If Booker T loses, all his WCW championship victories transfer to Lance Storm If Lance Storm loses, he must stop playing the Canadian National Anthem and putting down America Booker T vs. Lance Storm ---If I can be serious for a minute... It would be humorous if Storm was a multi time champion without ever having won. Sting vs. “The Dog-Faced Gremlin” Rick Steiner “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash vs. “The Total Package” Lex Luger WCW United States Heavyweight Championship Match Billy Kidman vs. “The Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett © WCW X Division Championship Match Rey Mysterio Jr. © vs. “The Franchise” Shane Douglas Ernest “The Cat” Miller vs. Kanyon -Who Betta “The Prodigal Son” Dustin Rhodes vs. C.W. Kid Kash vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. Bonus Question: What person who we haven’t seen in some time in WCW will join the WCW Panel for the evening? ---- I think I was too late for this, and frankly I don't have a pick Tiebreaker: How long will the main event last? 18 minutes 21 seconds

Ring of Honor: Where Superstars Are Born (RW 2018+)

Texasrangers13 replied to Texasrangers13's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 Dynasties

Ring of Honor Week 3 January 2018 and Top Prospect Tournament Pay-Per-View Preview Wow, thanks for the predictions, the full PPV card will be up at the end of this post, with the semi-final/finals match-ups. I'm going to count these first-round match-ups as a bonus. My current plan is to run the "prediction" contest for the first three months. Most correct answers after the March, "Anniversary" show will get to book any NJPW vs. ROH match-up they want for War of the Worlds. Seems like a fun way to engage with the readers. ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- Top Prospect Tournament Pay-Per-View Preview Prior to formally releasing the card Ring of Honor officials announced that The Briscoe Brothers would be in action on Pay-Per-View as they would take on Rowe and Hanson, the team known as War Machine. A victory is this match-up would certainly cement the Briscoe's claims that they deserve a title shot.

Haven't seen an ROH diary recently and decided, I'll make this a simple, month by month diary and see how it goes. Each PPV will have a preview show, with card, if there is enough interest (arbitrary and depending on circumstances) I'll likely run a basic prediction contest where the winner can book a storyline, title shot or signing...etc. In this case at the bottom of the post there will be a bracket for the Top Prospect Tournament. Feel free to predict the bracket, and overall winner. --------------------------------------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">January Week 1 ROH TV <img alt="l6EY4z6.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/l6EY4z6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The first show of 2018 kicked off with a bang as the ROH World Tag Titles were on the line as the Motor City Machine Guns defended the belts against Will Ferrara and Rhett Titus, known as The Dawgs. Post-Match The Briscoe's appeared on stage and told the Guns that the belts would soon be back around the waist of the most dominant tag team in ROH history. Faye Jackson defeated Deonna Purrazzo in a Women of Honor first round match. Cody came out to discuss Final Battle and his loss two weeks ago. He said that he was just not the better wrestler than night. This prompted Matt Taven to come out and taunt Cody. Taven told Cody his time was over and it was time for a new Kingdom to reign supreme. After things settled down the fourth contender for Dalton Castle's newly won title, Punishment Martinez easily handled an enhancement talent. Post-Match though Dalton Castle got the better of Martinez, chasing him to the back like a mad-man. In the Main Event the always entertaining Young Bucks defeated The Best Friends. This was a great comedy main event with a ton of high spots and other things that Jim Cornette would hate. The Bucks won with a Meltzer Driver on Chuckie T.</div> </div></blockquote> ---------------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">ROH January 2018 Week 2 TV <img alt="8X3hfVn.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8X3hfVn.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In two pre-show matches that have PPV implications we saw Brandi Rhodes defeat Jessie Brooks in a Women of Honor match, and in a Top Prospect Seeding match-up JT Dunn and Nick Price defeated Odinson and Alexander Hammerstone. Since JT Dunn recorded the pinfall he was given the opportunity to hand-select which Top Prospect he wanted to face in the first round. The show kicked off with War Machine defeating Coast 2 Coast. Caprice Coleman was on commentary and seemed to take a particular interest in Shaheem Ali, suggesting frequently that Ali would be better off without his partner Leon St. Giovanni. Colt Cabana gave us a run-down of the Top Prospect Tournament, and introduced the television audience to all eight competitors. He mentioned the pre-show match and said the other four competitors would be tagging next and the final bracket would be released on rohwrestling.com post-show. Jaxson James and Mahabali Shera defeated Tom Lawlor and Jake South in the second seeding match-up. With James recording the pinfall he got to hand-select his first round opponent as well. Dalton Castle came out and announced he'd discussed an idea with the competition committee and the Main Event of the Top Prospect Tournament would be Cody vs. Jay Lethal vs. Matt Taven vs. Punishment Martinez in a four-way elimination match-up with the winner becoming the #1 Contender! Mandy Leon defeated Scarlett Bordeaux and advanced to the next round of the Women of Honor tournament. The Kingdom came out to rant about the ROH Conspiracy and how they've still never received a fair rematch for the 6-man titles they vacated when TK O'Ryan broke his leg. Taven also called out Cody for being gifted everything while guys like The Kingdom had to fight for everything. SoCal Uncensored defeated Cody, Marty Scurll and Hangman Page in the Main Event, with the win SoCal Uncensored cemented their place as the #1 contenders for the Hung Bucks title. The victory was short lived as The Young Bucks rushed the ring and ultimately the 5 on 3 attack was too much and the fans went home feeling like the Bullet Club was on top!!!</div> </div></blockquote> ---------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> ROHWrestling.com exclusive: Top Prospect Tournament First Round Matches Announced, First Round takes place next week, with Semis and Finals on PPV!

Ring of Honor: Where Superstars Are Born (RW 2018+)

Texasrangers13 replied to Texasrangers13's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 Dynasties

<div style="text-align:center;">As Final Battle ended with streamers covering Dalton Castle and The Boys, you could begin to feel the change that was about to happen. The future of Ring of Honor would not be drastically different, just more... well... consistent... as least we hope.</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BBdCAmv.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BBdCAmv.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In the first episode post-Final Battle we met the first contender to Dalton Castle's title... Ring of Honor legend Jay Lethal. Dalton agreed that Lethal deserved a chance, and after a humorous back and forth that ultimately saw Castle try to convince Lethal it was ok to use one of the Boys as a chair, Castle agreed to give Lethal a shot. As Lethal left, Punishment Martinez jumped the ring from the crowd and hit a huge South of Heaven choke slam on Castle, making himself a force in this picture as well. Elsewhere, former Television champ Kenny King came down to the ring after Silas Young's first victory as champ to mention that he felt screwed out of his title by Young, especially since Young used a beer bottle on King's head to secure the victory. The Briscoes, continuing their recent darker vibe, said that no team in ROH could keep up with them and that they were coming for the Motor City Machine Guns titles. They promised to take the titles like they took Bully Ray's career at Final Battle. Brandi Rhodes won her first round Women of Honor match-up and Marty Scurll defeated Flip Gordon in the Main Event.</div></div></blockquote> ---------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="p8xCYR2.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p8xCYR2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In the final episode of Ring of Honor television for 2017 we saw more of the television title's developing feud as Kenny King defeated Simon Grimm. Grimm was Silas Young's opponent in his first defense last week and King proved a point to Young defeating Grimm with relative ease. Post-match The Beer City Bruiser and Silas Young came down to the ring and the 2-on-1 numbers game caught up to King as Young managed to hit Misery on him and leave him prone. Jay Lethal, one of the potential #1 contenders for the ROH World Championship, defeated Will Ospreay in a phenomenal match-up to open the show. Both men are stars in this company. Sumie Sakai upset Kelly Klein in the first round of the Women of Honor tournament. "The Octopus" Jonathan Gresham defeated the much larger, 2017 Top Prospect, Josh "The Goods" Woods in a mediocre match-up. Both men need a better direction in 2018. That led to a segment with SoCal Uncensored, Frankie Kazarian, Christopher Daniels and Scorpio Sky coming out to cut a promo on Ring of Honor saying they would be willing to make calls to their friends like "AJ" and "Don Callis" and leave Ring of Honor. COO Joe Koff came out and reminded Daniels and Kazarian that he holds all the power and they have exactly one year left in their contracts so if they don't behave... he can hold them hostage for the year and they can't do anything about that! As if Dalton Castle needed anymore confusion in his title picture in the Main Event The Kingdom got a clean victory against Dalton Castle and The Boys. The show went off the air with Taven standing tall over Castle, holding the ROH World Championship over his head. That wrapped up 2017 and as we head into 2018, we are thrilled about the direction of Ring of Honor.</div></div></blockquote>

Ring of Honor: Where Superstars Are Born (RW 2018+)

Texasrangers13 replied to Texasrangers13's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 Dynasties

December Week 1 and Week 2 ROH TV, Plus Final Battle Results In brief: This is a modern-day take on Ring of Honor. I attended a recent set of TV Tapings and was really taken by the product in person. I've always enjoyed following it on TV/rohwrestling.com but this was my first-look in person. This diary is primarily going to be "results" heavy building to each months PPV event. With Ring of Honor stories tend to be told over a span of time, and I think this will be captured within this. I've built the TEW schedule to reflect this. There are 4 TV tapings and one event per month in game... ROH doesn't always run this way so I'll structure it to be more accurate to reality (at least at times). Moving forward here is said schedule. <ul><li>December Week 3, Final Battle </li><li>January Week 3, Top Prospect Tournament (One week TV build-up for the Round of 8) </li><li>February Week 3, Manhattan Mayhem VII </li><li>March Week 2, 16th Anniversary PPV </li><li>April Week 1, Supercard of Honor </li><li>May Week 2, War of the Worlds (NJPW/ROH) (4 Days, 3 TV Episode Build-Up) </li><li>June Week 4, Best in the World </li><li>July Week 4, Chris Jericho’s Rager at Sea </li><li>August Week 3, RPW, CMLL, NJPW War of The Worlds (3 Days, 2 TV Episode Build-Up) </li><li>September Week 4, All-Star Extravaganza </li><li>October Week 2, NJPW/ROH Global Wars (4 Days, 3 TV Episode Build-Up) </li><li>November Week 3, Survival of the Fittest (3 Days, 2 TV Episode Build-Up) </li></ul> If there are "TV Episode Build-Up's" this merely means you will see NJPW/RPW/CMLL stars appearing on the build-up episodes prior to the PPV, this replicates the fact that most of these "events" are actually over a group of days. In July you'll see Chris Jericho's Rager at Sea... ya... that'll be unique. Coming up next will be a quick recap of the two episodes prior to Final Battle, and the subsequent Final Battle PPV. These are almost entirely identical to reality. Beyond that, I will start booking.

What's going on in your game?

Texasrangers13 replied to TakerNGN74's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions

Been playing as Ring of Honor, starting in July 2017. Currently Feb 2018. Cody was set to be a long-running champ with the Kiss The Ring styled gimmick... only to tear his ACL in what was supposed to be a simple PPV win over Alex Shelley at Survival of the Fittest. Needless to say, Shelley was not suppose to be the champ, so he dropped it relatively quickly to Christopher Daniels. Meanwhile, Jay Lethal (the 6-man tag champ, with Lio Rush and Jonathan Gresham) won the Survival of the Fittest, guarenteeing himself a future title shot. He however immediately departed for a three month stint in Japan. Returning at ROH Anniversary to defeat Daniels and claim the ROH title. He also introduced his hand-picked successor for the 6-man belts that had gone dormant, as Flip Gordon joined Gresham and Rush. The 6-man belts finally have a bit of a direction as BJ Whitmer leads a newly formed stable "The Occult" of Punishment Martinez and Tengu Kazma (KAZMA; Tengu being a word in Japanese for a demon-like dog/god). The Motor City Machine Guns hold the tag belts and at Anniversary fought off the PROGRESS tag champs, The London Riots in a one-off type match that will lead into our UK tour upcoming. Travis Banks won the 2018 Top Prospect Tournament, but in the process didn't have to face Chris Brookes who was injured in the semi-final and couldn't continue. They will face-off once Brookes is healthy (again tying into the UK tour). Lastly, Kazarian is the TV champ. Doing battle with a variety of upper-mid type guys without a firm direction.

Personally I'm not a fan of the names, but it is easy enough for me to edit. I wouldn't mind it if it was a name here or there, but in my game every name is coming out ridiculous. But the Hooker Scandal was too funny.

Texasrangers13 replied to Uncrewed's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 Dynasties

Rise: Chapter One Somewhere 35,000 feet over the heartland of America, in the wee early Morning hours, Patrick Dwyer sat comfortably, feet stretched out before him, pressing gently against the bulkhead of the American Airlines Airbus A321. Most of the plane was asleep on this early morning flight, but he had a burst of energy. Enthralled by what he had seen the night before in a small warehouse in Tacoma, Washington. He tapped away on the keyboard, effortlessly penning a letter to a friend of his from his travels. Though still in his late 20’s, traveling 200+ days a year was a drag on relationships, friendships, and life in general, but it had provided him with the opportunity to explore the country and reconnect with an old passion. Always a scholar, he’d actively sought the most interesting aspects of each city he’d visited. He’d seen small-town America charmed by Minor League Baseball, he’d seen cities were the military was the lifeblood of the economy. He’d been places were racial tensions were higher than ever. Yet through all of it he found himself coming back to one thing. His computer, a trustee MacBook Pro from the year he graduated. The computer was an all-knowing, all-providing piece of equipment that could constantly update him on the best things to eat, the best activities and the things that might just be a little bit off the beaten path. It was the computer that led him back to Wrestling. As a child Patrick had grown up as an only child, like most only children he had a wild imagination. When friends weren’t around he’d occupy his time with make-believe sporting events where he was the star of his own sports universe. He called it PSports, and PSports controlled everything in this made-up world. They had a baseball league, a basketball league, a football league and of course the crown-jewel, a professional wrestling company. All housed, in his mind, in a sprawling sports complex in the center of Dallas, Texas. He fancied himself as the champion, but created characters to do battle with, and while the characters were typically in the form of a small doll, the visions were vivid. In the few moments he wasn’t too busy trying to ward off the challenges of Johnny Lightning and co.,. He’d never liked cartoons, he found them too fake. Sports were always real, there was a winner and a loser. He liked that about them, they were pure. While he tended to favor the sports you could find on SportsCenter he still had a soft-spot for his uncle’s favorite, Professional Wrestling. On Monday Night’s he enjoyed bouncing between the WWF and WCW and had favorites like Shawn Michaels and for some reason, La Parka. But more than that he loved the entrances, the promos, the music, the gear… It was a show, a show meant to stimulate your whole palette. It wasn’t all about the winning or losing, sure that was part of the story, it was entertainment. It was an escape from reality. He “grew up” in the heart of the 90s and the heart of wrestling’s Monday Night Wars. And then, like many, admitting you liked wrestling wasn’t cool anymore and in the early 2000’s he stepped away from watching it closely, preferring instead to keep a casual eye on it via the newly proliferated internet. That carried through to college, though he’d occasionally check the websites to see who was champ and that would inevitably lead to a rabbit-hole where he’d wind-up learning way too much about companies trying to step in and take the helm as the new WCW. Companies like NWA:TNA, MLW, and WWA all tried but had all failed. On these trips down the memory lane he found himself drawn to two small companies on opposite coasts that were doing things differently. He liked their websites, the roster pages were unique and he liked the look. Although he never say an actual match he could envision the characters they played based on the pictures the company posted. Somewhere inside of him that image stuck with him. Those companies, Ring of Honor (founded 2002) and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (founded 2003), still stand today. Though Ring of Honor has expanded to a larger, touring presence, PWG is still housed in Reseda, CA. Polar opposites of the same spectrum. And in some small way, the impetus for this journey. You see as he graduated college Mr. Dwyer took his first major opportunity with his new firm and was moved from his west coast home, down to Florida, a place where Kayfabe was still very much alive. It was in 2010 that he first caught the bug again. During a company “retreat” at Universal Studios he snuck away and caught a TNA taping with a couple co-workers. That night over a couple beers he admitted to always having an interest in wrestling. His co-workers seemed non-plussed by the admission and just like that, he was hooked again. He spent that evening crawling through the realms of the internet and learning, all over again, about the world of wrestling. That’s not to say he was completely out of the loop, but to say he was an expert would be a massive lie. With the proliferation of the streaming he began to casually follow the so-called Indies. They all did things slightly differently, but the theme was the same. Provide the audience with a show they will remember. He liked that, it was pure, and well-intentioned. He set a goal to attend some shows locally while he traveled, and then in November 2016 he was promoted again, and for the next five months would be sent onto the road for what they called a “season” AKA 165 days of hotels in a 180 day span. Armed with his MacBook Pro, Patrick took it upon himself to use those 165 days to learn all the names, the stars and the companies. He’d stream shows by all the major players taking detailed notes on who and what he liked and disliked. He caught up on Lucha Underground via Netflix, and watched as NJPW became an actual global-challenger. He’d watch as Ring of Honor continued to expand and tried to catch them on whichever towns Sinclair Affiliate. And he’d attend a few shows live. He was becoming a fan armed with more knowledge than he needed, a true “smark” without the pension for ruining things for others. Night-in and night-out he brimmed with ideas. In his mind independent wrestling was growing and there was a captive market for what he’d term a “Super Indy”. Ring of Honor was beginning to capture that market, but were held back by poor booking and a corporate overseer. NXT essentially was a Super Indy as well but it was the Super Indy that you loved until Anheuser-Busch bought them and now they weren’t craft enough. And so the notebook began. A simple black, leather-bound, notebook, he began to fill all the pages with details from what he’d seen and learned. He spent time getting to know people, fans mainly, but the occasional performer as well. Writing it all down on paper seemed more pure than typing it up. Strange, he knew, but it felt right. Armed with some preliminary knowledge he filled out estimated financial projections for a small start-up wrestling company, and then… like a lightbulb being flicked on. It hit him. Why not? He turned the page and scribbled “RISE”… <div style="text-align:center;"><a href="<a href="https://ibb.co/dOizUk" rel="external nofollow">https://ibb.co/dOizUk"><img</a> src="<a href="https://thumb.ibb.co/dOizUk/IMG_9871.jpg" rel="external nofollow">https://thumb.ibb.co/dOizUk/IMG_9871.jpg"</a> alt="IMG_9871" border="0"></a></div> (((OOC))) I had a complete computer failure last month and then work took me away for a bit. New machine, new TEW install. I can still salvage the old one, but it feels wrong haha. Start anew. This is a real-world diary using the phenomenal RWC July 2017. I'm still tinkering with this idea, but while the computer was down and I was on the road I began writing a bunch of concepts and ideas that I'd like to play out in this diary. It is intended to be a creative outlet but I hope the story will at least intrigue some.

Texasrangers13 replied to Adam Ryland's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions

Thinking about running a "special" event in a market I don't hit (Australia)... I know the attendance will suck... I know i'll lose money... etc... don't really care there. Just curious, could you run a special in a month with a normal PPV and not have it impact the PPV's buyrate? Also wondering, do main eventers get pissed if they are left off a special? For example: I don't want my A popularity guys going to Australia, where I am D popularity and putting on a D match.

What's going on in your game?

Texasrangers13 replied to TakerNGN74's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions

Having an absolute blast booking TNA from June 2016 onward. In October 2018 now, one week before Bound For Glory. The big players: Bobby Roode (world champ since June 2016... Yep) AJ Styles (was fired by WWE for making inappropriate statements, I signed him a year ago now, he's been a stud) Mike Bennett (the King of the Mountain) Cody Rhodes (the winner of the 9 week BFG Series and #2 guy in the company, might unseat Roode at BFG) Bram (been a very solid main event face but can't quite get over the hump, currently the Wrestling Premier League Champ, the WPL is an alliance between NJPW, TNA, CMLL created in June 2017) Gunner (returned to TNA in August 2016 as an enforcer for Aaron Stevens, has since moved onto to a successful tag team run) Gryffyn (Mason Ryan, gunners partner, sucked for a bulk of time... Went to development for most of 2017 and returned with a massive skill growth. Has turned into a star... Somehow) Adam Ohriner (another success out of developmental, currently tag champ, great top line skills) Moose (I'm forcing moose at the fans... He's developed slowly but it's finally paying off. Tag champ with Ohriner) Texano (joined us as the top Hispanic star in the company) Katsuhiko Nakajima (top Japanese star in company) Solid Midcard, but I won't bore you.

Any one tried to replicate an excursion of sorts. Like taking a lower midcarder who is a "next big thing" and sending him to Japan for 10 appearances? Did it help develop him?

What's going on in your game?

Texasrangers13 replied to TakerNGN74's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions

Up to January 2018 in my TNA game (started May 16). WWE continues to pillage some of my stars (Galloway, Abyss, EC3) and I like playing realistically and as the underdog don't pillage them back. We did pick up AJ Styles when he was abruptly fired for my racial comments. Even though he is toxic I've welcomed him back. Main event title scene circles around Robert Roode (2nd most popular worker in the world) and Mike Bennett. AJ is starting to make his way into the picture as well. The tag division was home to a resurgent Wolves but Eddie Edwards just broke his leg so they will be vacating the titles. Likely to The Sentinals (my super over menace squad of Gunner and Gryffyn (Mason Ryan)). Matt Hardy is still broken, and defending the "Title of the Mountains" against Cody Rhodes. Last major storyline of note: James Storm (now well into decline) was prepping to turn heel on his protege James White (Vaders son) but the fans didn't react well, so I'm scrapping that and now White is turning on Storm in what I hope will be a passing the torch type Scenario to vault him to the upper card
