  1. Thanks for the heads up Blake, have fixed the pictures hopefully. Glad you like the drunken angel schtick, he also has a bit of the Forrest Gump in him
  2. <p>1923 diary</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">"The Watchers" Diary, 1923</span></strong></span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Inside the VLL</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> After all the travelling of the last year it was rather relaxing to spend most of the year in various cantinas getting an acquaintance with the marvellous tequila. El Espiritu walked out of SPW at the first opportunity claiming a debt, he was furious at the meanness of Loomis. Now that he could concentrate full time on VLL he simply powered the fed on a record breaking year of relentless growth, being the star of the show on nearly every occasion. Attendances grew from 90 to nearly 1500 and grew to small size in under a year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> A strong batch of rookies and the perfect product of Historical Lucha Libre mean that they are putting on matches way above expectations, and VLL is expanding unbelievably fast. Dan Loomis and SPW must have noticed this rise and hatched plans, surely?</p><p> </p><p> The sense of camaraderie is almost palpable with this group of young men, and the nights at the Cantina are becoming the stuff of legends.One night i tried a mix of Tequila, Triple Sec and Lime Juice, and that scamp El Espiritu put salt around the rim of my glass instead of sugar. The joke backfired though as it was absolutely delicious. The barmaid Margarita asked me for the recipe and I was happy to oblige. If it becomes a local favourite then who I am to be jealous with the recipe?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes from SPW</span></strong></p><p> The good news was that the SPW made over a million dollars, the bad news is that it should have been two. Losing the two best wrestlers on the planet was bad but in Sir Anthony Henry and Slow Joe Boone they have at least some cover. However losing a million pounds worth of top quality hooch in a Treasury Raid was a disaster. They seemed to know when and where to strike, so now Dan Loomis has an unpleasant thought: does he have a stool pigeon in his organisation?</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Notes from POG</span></strong></p><p> It doesnt get any easier for Friedrich. While his young roster are getting much needed on the job training, the owner Lars Fridell continuesto be an utter sleazeball. It's going to be tough enough for the German promtion to get much bigger with a Classic Wild West product, so could I help this company out?</p><p> </p><p> After a few weeks i realised Fridell was possessed by a minor demon of self-destruction. I wound up Herzog enough to smite the sleazy swede with righteous fury and then exorcised the demon. When he came around, Fridell now has a lively personality. It will still be extremely tough for POG though.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">1924 prediction contest</span></strong></p><p> </p><ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li> Which region gets its first company in August 1924?<br /></li><li> Who is the stool pigeon in the SPW, if any?<br /></li><li> SPW Head Booker Frank Norris is due to retire very shortly.

  4. 1922 Diary "The Watchers" Diary, 1922 Inside the POG 1922 could be described as the life on the ocean waves, I lost count of the number of transatlantic crossings i did in the company of Herzog and Mornaghan. It soon became clear why Loomis allowed Herzog to work for both companies: while Mornaghan might be a third rate carnie he was also a first rate smuggler. Cigarettes went across to Europe and fine French brandy, Irish whiskey and German Schnapps went back to the states. His real genius was an ability to sense a bent custom official at fifty paces. With hyper inflation running rampant throughout Germany bartering was back in a big way and premium brand Virginian cigarettes were much in demand. I was pleasantly surprised by how positively the titanic teuton reacted to the responsibility of being the boss. He knuckled down to learning the trade and on no less than eight occasions he booked himself to lose title matches to Teddy Laubson and Arjun Plooster, and these were the top eight shows of the year. In honour of this i awarded him the Giving Performer and Professional attributes Unfortunately the owner Lauro Fridell proved to be a bit of a sleazy bounder, over 20 workers quit by the end of the year. Even in a recession POG cannot afford to alienate so many employees. Both Teddy and Arjen can be described as charismatic athletes but sorely in need of training in the fundamental skills. Indeed that sums up most of the roster, there doesn't appear to be a ring general in the whole of Europe. Its going to be a challenge to get good match grades without changing from the Classic Wild West product. Unfortunately the most talented worker i saw this year didnt join the POG. An austrian called Schiklegruber was the best heel manager i had ever seen. The prancing ranting buffoon could generate an unbelievable amount of heel heat. He only wanted to be the boss though and that wasnt going to happen. He went off to Munich to do something political, I reckon thats the last we'll see of him. Inside the SPW Trouble could be brewing in the SPW, old man Loomis is making money hand over fist but he is still paying the workers peanuts. He finally booked Sir Anthony to win the South Eastern title but Slow Joe's perpetual hold on the main title is creating resentment. El Espiritu has just created an unbelievable new move, he was good before, now he is world beating. 1922 Prediction Results CPBHBK 1 EpicCorey 1 1923 Prediction Competition A new promotion will be formed at the end of 1923.

  13. 1920 Diary "The Watcher's" Diary, 1920Amended Infiltrating the command structure of SPW proved surprisingly easy. Loomis's two star moonshine was cheap and easy to make, but customers were starting to go blind. I persuaded Monaghan I was a distant cousin from the old country, Compton Mackenzie, who was also a master distiller. Inside the week I was a junior partner of the Loomis distillery and the quality of the moonshine improved ten fold. I also acquired my moonshine moniker "Whiskey Mack" I wondered if it was appropriate that a probationary Angel was working for organised crime but I justified it by saving serveral souls from an untimely death by alcohol poisoning, as well as ensuring I had some decent hooch to swig. People were soon coming from all around - Loomis coined the phrase "Come for the booze, stay for the wrestling". Setting the events at his plantation meant he got plenty of warning of a raid by the Bureau of Prohibition, and Sheriff O'Keefe was delighted to receive a bottle or two of "Loomis Premium Reserve" alongside a decent retainer. We even had a party of Yankees from New York City come by, they were a charming bunch of colonials. A strapping young buck called Baby Ruth could drink like an archangel and i got a little bit tipsy. So when he mentioned his troubles with a bunch of Bostonians I impulsively shouted "A curse on the Red Sox!" I am sure it will wear off soon. Inside the SPW Those good old boys sure can drink! Fortunately they seem to be blessed with a sunny disposition when inebriated so the mood of the company looks pretty good at the moment. Mister Loomis is making money growing the worlds only wrestling promotion so why not enjoy the ride? They do however have a few potential problems on the horizon. the main ones being Friedrich Herzog & Earl Wilkins. Herzog has an inflated opinion of his skills and value. Herzog is ably represented by Monaghan so probably feels protected. Fortunately the workhorses of the promotion seem content to let the rookie have his moment in the sun for now. Wilkens on the other hand could be something special. Good on the mic, good performance skills, this super heavyweight could be the future of a Sports Entertainment promotion, but he is an egomaniac 1921 Prediction Competition 1. A new promotion will be formed at the end of 1921. Which founder member of the SPW will return to his home region to become CEO? 2. How many SPW titles will change hands in 1921? 3. [Tiebreak]. Levi Andrews was on $50 a show in 1920. What does his pay rise to in 1921?
  14. 1920 100 years of (Wrestling) Solitude - 1920 ReportAmended to weekly schedules FAO: Deputy Archangel Sir Humphrey Dear Sir Humphrey A year has passed since i first arrived in the deep deep south of the USA and the home of the only professional wrestling organisation in the world. Southern Pro Wrestling operate out of the Loomis Plantation and initial reconnaisance soon realised that the weekly wrestling events are little more than fronts for the sale of Papa Loomis's two star Moonshine. The business model appears to be working as they are consistently selling out the 150 seat barn and have made a little over $100,000 dollars in profit. Their popularity, calculated by the Celestial Computer, has increased from 17 to 32 and their three best shows were all rated in the 50s. Their product was described me as "Silver Age Pro Wrestling" and no i dont know what that means either. They have a roster of 20, 15 of them are male wrestlers. The best are mentioned below: Champions of SPW(Pop refers to home region) - Slow Joe Boone - American -SPW Heavyweight - Pop 28 - Star - Frederick Herzog - German - SPW South Eastern Champ - Pop 18 - Emilio Suarez wrestling as El Espiritu - Mexican - Pop 31 - Star and Worlds 1st professional Luchador. Only 21 Young Wrestler of the Year 1920 - Sir Anthony Henry - British - Pop 32 - Major Star - Danielle Loiselle - Canadian - Pop 40 - Major Star independent wrestler of the year 1920 - Saito Kuruki - Japanese - Dan Loomis - Owner & Moonshiner - Announcer of the Year 1920 Big Valley- SPW Tag Champs (El Spiritu & Earl Wilkens) Earl Wilkens - American - 2020 graduate of the Great Lakes Pro Academy - Pop 19 in SE Match of the year: Herzog defeated Loiselle (59) MOTY 1920 Show of the year: SPW The Ego has Landed (56)SOTY 1920 As for the rest of the world, there are approximately 25-30 unemployed wrestlers in the USA and 9-12 in other regions apart from the empty India. So I expect new promotions should be opening shortly. Your humble servant Versace the Watcher
  15. 100 years of (Wrestling) Solitude As soon as Versace opened the door, he knew it wasn't going to be his decade. Michael always insisted on awarding the wings of a full angel personally, but instead Versace was greeted by the sight of Deputy Archangel Sir Humphrey beavering away at his celestial desk. "Ah come in Versace, do sit down" drawled Humphrey, sounding exactly like the civil servant he had been in his human existence, "We have a little task which should suit your particular skills perfectly" Knowing it was useless, Versace still chanced his arm, "I was hoping Sir Humphrey that I might be in line for a promotion to full Angel. I have been a mere Power since the 13th Century and i hoped my efforts during the Great War might have been enough" "Indeed you performed marvellously in that conflict, your miracle of Mons was first class work" Humphrey was all charm and polish "but might i remind you about your recent report on bringing Russia into the 20th century. You recommended Lenin as a sound man who could bring a workers paradise into being. What were you thinking?" "I spent a lot of time with Vladimir and he seemed tremendously concerned about his fellow workers" Versace replied defensively. Internally he wondered whether accepting that last bottle of vodka from that Stalin fellow was a wise idea. "Be that as it may, Archangel Michael and I have a final mission for you which should secure your promotion. Recently in the Deep South of the USA we have been receiving reports of something called....Professional Wrestling. Our boffins are divided on whether it is a sport or a kind of muscular theatre. They are even using some strange language called Kayfabe. Be a good chap and go check it out will you?" "How long do you want me to spend on this?" "Not long, just a hundred years" "A century, exiled on earth.What in heaven have I- done to deserve this?" "My dear chap, our experts reckon we could be spending most of the next century sorting out the mess you created in Russia. Now get out!" snarled Sir Humphrey. ------------------- As Versace prepared to teleport to Georgia, he reflected on his mission. "It could be worse, that new Jazz music sounds divine and there is always Southern Comfort and Mint Juleps". He began to brighten up at the thought of an alcohol fuelled assignment. The next day the Volstead Act was passed and prohibition began. ------------- This will be a watcher game based in the Effganics universe and starting in 1920. Massive thanks to I effin Rule for creating this and giving me permission to try this. The starting roster of Southern Professional Wrestling can be found [THREAD=547388]here[/THREAD]
