Started a WWF game on the 1995 mod, first time on this one. I’ve done 1994 multiple times before, I think the WWF roster is a tiny bit better in ’95, but still pretty rough. I’m trying not to sign a bunch of free agents right off the bat…but it’s hard not to! Anywho, here is my first show. Definitely a transition period as I rebuild the roster…but it could’ve been a lot worse! WWF In Your House September 1995 Show Rating: 83 Rey Mysterio defeated Jeff Jarrett. Mysterio was accompanied by Ricky Steamboat, whose had issues with Double J recently. Jarrett attempted to use his guitar, but Steamboat would stop him! Mysterio would catch Jarrett a rollup for the win. (61) Dean Douglas defeated 1-2-3 Kid. (63) The Miracle Violence Connection (Steve Williams & Terry Gordy) defeated The Body Donnas. (61) Razor Razor defeated Sycho Sid by Disqualification. During the match, Vader would make his surprise debut in WWF, attacking Razor Ramon! Clearly, Ted DiBiase has signed Vader to the Million Dollar Corporation! (81) Bret Hart defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Per rules of the match, Bret Hart receives one more match with Jerry Lawler, and also gets to choose the stipulations! (85, MOTN) Smokin' Gunns defeated The Million Dollar Corporation (King Kong Bundy & Tatanka). Tired of his losing ways, Ted DiBiase and Bundy would walk out on Tatanka post-match. (58) The Undertaker defeated Kama in a Street Fight. (81) The British Bulldog & Owen Hart defeated The Two Dudes With Attitude to RETAIN the WWF World Tag Team Championship. Much to the shock of everyone, the Bulldog would pin WWF World Heavyweight Champion Diesel. But...it would be after he struck Diesel with Jim Cornette's Tennis Racket, which would be revealed post-match to be loaded with a horseshoe! (84)

TCW Total Mayhem XXV May 2021 Attendance: 89,858 (Houston, TX) Mighty Mo defeated RH (Ross Henry) Enterprise’s Primus Allen in the first encounter between these the big time heavy hitters. Mo appeared to suffer damaged ribs during the match after Primus repeatedly used the ring post as a weapon. Despite the injury, Mo amazingly was able to reverse Allen’s Running Powerslam into a Roll Up for the surprise victory! Mo sneaks out with the win, but this feud is clearly just getting started! (92!) Davis Wayne Newton defeated Sammy Bach. In a much anticipated rematch, Newton picks up the biggest win of his TCW career…thanks to a distraction by his manager, Queen Emily! (83) In Eight Man Tag Team Action, Syndicate members The Canadian Animals & Southern Blues (Big Bruiser Findlay & Tennessee William) defeated The Mechanics (Joshua Taylor & Roderick Remus) & Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx). This hefty match was created when two of the hottest tag team feuds in TCW became intertwined. In the end, after interference by Southern Blues manager Haley Buck, Freddy Huggins is able to pin Flying Jimmy Foxx to pick up the win for his team. (79) Kirk Jameson defeated Fro Sure. Days prior on TCW Uprising, Jameson sneak attacked Fro Sure after Fro’s match. Despite doctor’s orders, Fro Sure was still committed to competing at Total Mayhem. Fro Sure could not overcome his injuries, though, and the referee had to stop the match after Jameson choked Fro out with his patented submission, The Katahajime. (84) In the Finals of the TCW Women’s Championship Tournament, Pariah defeated Melody to become the FIRST EVER TCW Women’s Champion! During the match, Raven Nightfall would interfere on behalf of Pariah, revealing an alliance between the two women. (77) Mikey Lau defeated The Syndicate’s Spencer Spade. After defeating Lau twice already (in questionable fashion), Spade only agreed to this rematch if it was No Disqualification…for Spencer only! Lau agreed to the stipulations and overcame the odds, including fellow Syndicate member Doc Hammond interfering. Lau gets his sweet revenge, bringing this lengthy feud to a close! (93!) In the Annual Total Mayhem Match, Aaron Andrews, Mr. Lucha, & W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) defeated The Kings of Wrestling (Jay Chord, Hollywood Bret Starr, Greg Gauge, & Matthew Keith). KoW has terrorized the TCW roster since its inception, declaring themselves superior because of their family lineage. At least for one night, the random group of wrestlers that simply call themselves The Alliance extract their revenge against KoW, who have been making their lives a living hell for months. Bloody and battered, The Alliance stands victorious at the end of Total Mayhem. (90!) In a Ladder Match, RH Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez defeated Keanu Ipo (High Flyin’ Hawaiian) to RETAIN The TCW Television Championship! After being cheated out of his chance at Hernandez and the TV Title twice, Ipo earned the right to choose the stipulations for their final encounter. Looking to create his own legacy, Ipo choose a Ladder Match! Hernandez & Ipo put on quite the show, putting on Match of the Night. But in the end, Hernandez retrieved the TV Championship, proving once again why he is considered the Greatest TCW Television Champion of All Time. (96!) In a Hardcore Tag Team Match, The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) defeated RH Enterprise members The Golden Boys (Cali Slick & Roger Cage) to RETAIN The TCW World Tag Team Championship! This war has been going on ever since CBA quit RH Enterprise, which led to Ross Henry replacing them with the Golden Boys. In their final encounter, CBA proved why they are considered not just the best tag team in the world, but the deadliest! CBA remain the champions in brutal fashion, as they warn the rest of the tag roster to think twice before stepping up to the Assassins! (90!) In the Main Event of Total Mayhem XXV, inside the Mayhem Cell, Wolf Hawkins defeated Syndicate Leader Tommy Cornell to ONCE AGAIN Become The TCW World Heavyweight Champion! A war nearly a year in the making, Wolf Hawkins finally gets his revenge against his best friend, his teacher. The man who betrayed him and took everything! For months, Cornell dodged a rematch with Hawkins, using his power over the TCW Board to avoid it. But, finally, Cornell was left with no choice to face Hawkins one-on-one, locked inside the Mayhem Cell! And what a war it was. As Cornell could barely drag himself up to his feet, a bloody Hawkins would soar through the air to deliver the final blow. The Full Moon Rising! 1,2,3. After all the hell Cornell & The Syndicate put him through for nearly a year, Wolf Hawkins stands tall in the end. Hawkins also stands as a 5-Time TCW World Heavyweight Champion! (90!) That was probably the best Total Mayhem card I ever put together. Usually, the crowd is gassed by the end of the show, and my main event gets a disappointing score. I managed to keep the show at 3 1/2 hours, plus Pre-Show. So, I’ll take a 90 for Cornell-Hawkins! Lol

I thought about keeping it is as a "TV Only" title, but I eventually began treating it more like the ECW TV Title. It's a midcard title that is expected to be defended frequently, at least two television defenses each month. It is also defended at special events or PPVs if the right challenger is set up, but not always. I'm about to bump up my company to two major shows each week, so those TV Title defenses will be on the rise. Also contemplating another male title. Would love to do a Junior Heavyweight division, but I don't quite have the numbers of top tier guys for it (yet).

TCW Where Angels Fear To Tread April 2021 Attendance: 83,771 (Los Angeles, CA) Show Rating: 88 The Syndicate’s Spencer Spade defeated High Concept’s Fro Sure after interference by Fro’s current rival, Kirk Jameson. (90!) As result of this matchup, Spade will replace injured Matthew Keith in tonight’s Ticket to Mayhem Match. Fro Sure was also a replacement for Mikey Lau, who also suffered an injury (which was used in kayfabe to further his feud with Spade). In a battle of former Tag Team Champions now Bitter Enemies, The Shade Gang’s Marc Speed defeated Matt Hocking after interference by the third wheel of this implosion, Troy Tornado. (85) In Tag Team Action, Davis Wayne Newton & Kirk Jameson defeated Next Gen’s Sammy Bach & Princeton Pryce. Newton was able to put away Pryce after a distraction by Newton & Jameson’s manager, Queen Emily. (80) In a Strap Match, Aaron Andrews defeated Kings of Wrestling’s Hollywood Bret Starr. (79) Man, Andrews & Starr cannot get a great rating together no matter how hard I try! Aw well… In a Battle Of “Who is the Greatest TV Champion Ever?,” RH Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez defeated Kings of Wrestling’s Greg Gauge. Hernandez now hits the 7-Month Mark on his 1st TV Title reign. (93, MOTN!) In the 2nd Annual Ticket To Mayhem Match (ala 6 Man Money in the Bank), Wolf Hawkins defeated Next Gen’s Keanu Ipo (High Flyin’ Hawaiian), Mighty Mo, RH Enterprise’s Primus Allen, The Syndicate’s Spencer Spade, & Kings of Wrestling’s Jay Chord. As a result of his Ticket of Mayhem victory, Wolf Hawkins now has the right to challenge for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship at Total Mayhem XXV! (87) In a Tag Team Fatal Four Way, The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) defeated Syndicate members The Canadian Animals, RH Enterprise members The Golden Boys (Cali Slick & Roger Cage), & The Mechanics (Joshua Taylor & Roderick Remus). CBA now hit the 3-Month mark on their first TCW Tag Title reign. (87) Just before the Main Event, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would make a huge announcement. RDJ revealed that TCW has been in the processing of building its own Women’s Division. For months now, TCW has been signing female talent from all over the world (i.e. Melody, Raven Nightfall, etc.). Starting on the upcoming episode of Total Wrestling, an 8-Women Tournament will begin to crown the first ever TCW Women’s Champion! The Finals of that Tournament will take place at Total Mayhem XXV! Syndicate Leader Tommy Cornell defeated Mr. Lucha to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. It looked like Lucha was going to be left alone with Cornell after Joshua Taylor & Roderick Remus chased away the rest of the Syndicate with steel chairs. But…with the referee out of position, Lucha’s longtime rival Jay Chord would come out of the crowd, pick up one of the chairs that Remus & Taylor wielded, and clobbered Lucha with the weapon through the ropes! This would allow Cornell to hit the Guilt Trip to continue on with his historic 7th TCW World Title reign. Cornell’s World Title reign has now reached the 10-Month Mark. (87…even though both Cornell & Lucha were rated 95+….aw well!) As the PPV came to an end, Tommy Cornell stood tall on the entrance stage, relishing in yet another successful World Title defense. But, his celebration would be interrupted by music he knew all too well. Cautiously, Cornell turned as Wolf Hawkins appeared from the curtains and went nose to nose with his former mentor, his former friend! The man who betrayed Wolf, just to regain control of his stable, The Syndicate! After months of his using power over the TCW Board to avoid a title rematch with Wolf Hawkins, now Tommy Cornell has no choice! At Total Mayhem XXV, Cornell MUST defend the World Title against the winner of the Ticket of Mayhem Match, and that man is Wolf Hawkins! And…as we will later learn on Total Wrestling…per Ricky Dale Johnson, Cornell & Hawkins will be battle in the MAYHEM CELL!

TCW A Little South of Sanity March 2021 Show Rating: 94 Attendance: 80,640 (Houston, TX) Next Generation leader Sammy Bach defeated Davis Wayne Newton after catching the cocky Newton with a surprise rollup. (78) (Sadly, I now have to be extra careful with Bach. His stamina has dropped significantly during his decline. I’m probably going to move him into the tag team division soon. I already started protecting Sammy by surrounding him with a youth stable called Next Generation. The stable is built on the idea that Bach is hoping to develop future TCW superstars.) In Tag Team Action, The Kings of Wrestling (Greg Gauge & Matthew Keith) defeated W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army). (78) In a Dog Collar Match, Mighty Mo defeated Sinner Society’s Aztec Prince. This brings a close to not only the rivalry between Mo & Prince, but also the lengthy feud between Mighty Mo and Sinner Society leader Eddie Peak. (89) (I went back and forth as to who was going to win this rivalry’s finale. I consider Mo & Prince about the same on the roster. I was going to give the nod to Prince, but then he suffered a Strained Rotator Cuff. Mo gets the nod as a result as he moves into his next rivalry. Prince, meanwhile, is going to take it easy while he heals. Happy to get an 89 with an injured Prince!) RH Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez defeated Next Generation’s Keanu Ipo (High Flyin’ Hawaiian) by Count Out to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. Ross Henry prevented Ipo from beating the referee’s count to help keep the TV Title in the camp of RH Enterprise. Hernandez now hits the 6-Month Mark in his TV Title reign. (94!) The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) defeated Syndicate members The Canadian Animals to successfully retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. (88) Kings of Wrestling member Hollywood Bret Starr defeated Aaron Andrews. The finish came after Starr connected with a timely low blow when the referee out of position. The series is tied 1-1 now between these two rivals. (83) In the 2nd Annual TCW 20 Man Bunkhouse Brawl, Mr. Lucha last eliminated longtime rival Jay Chord to declare victory. As the winner of the Bunkhouse Brawl, Lucha has earned himself a future World Title Match. Post-Match, Lucha announced he would cash in his title shot at the next pay-per-view, Where Angels Fear To Tread! (85) In a Dixie Street Fight, The Syndicate’s Spencer Spade & TCW World Heavyweight Champion Tommy Cornell defeated Mikey Lau & Wolf Hawkins. Fellow Syndicate member Doc Hammond would interfere and distract Mikey Lau long enough for Tommy Cornell to take advantage, and catch Lau with the Guilt Trip for the win. (97!)

I usually am able to get Bryan Vessey to come out of retirement. Clearly over the hill but his Popularity is a big help if you need it to put over guys.

TCW The War To Settle The Score February 2021 Attendance: 81, 725 Show Rating: 90 The name sells it all! This is the TCW PPV where the battle lines are drawn, redemption is sought after, and long time rivalries come to a close. Together or alone, the entire TCW roster goes to war tonight! In a 2 out of 3 Falls Match, Syndicate members The Canadian Animals defeated Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx). (83) In a Tornado Tag Team Match, Southern Blues (Big Bruiser Findlay & Tennessee William) defeated High Concept. (75) Davis Wayne Newton defeated Roderick Remus. (79) In a return match for the gold, The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) defeated former champions The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) to retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. (79) In Tag Team Action, Fro Sure & Keanu Ipo (High Flyin’ Hawaiian) defeated RH Enterprise’s Primus Allen & TCW Television Champion Mainstream Hernandez. As a result of this match, Ipo earns a title rematch against Hernandez in the near future! (92!) The Syndicate’s leader Tommy Cornell defeated Mikey James to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. (94!) In the first ever TCW Stadium Stampede, The Kings of Wrestling (Jay Chord, Hollywood Bret Starr, Greg Gauge, & Matthew Keith) defeated Aaron Andrews, Mr. Lucha, One Man Army, & Sammy Bach. (94!) In the Main Event, inside a Steel Cage, Wolf Hawkins defeated The Syndicate’s Spencer Spade. After Spade cost Wolf his World Title Match against Syndicate leader Tommy Cornell at Malice in Wonderland, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would punish Spade by pitting him in a cage with the vengeful Hawkins. Wolf does in fact get his vengeance against Spade, but this story of betrayal between Tommy Cornell & Wolf Hawkins appears to be far from over! (90!) There was also a big skit mid-show. Mighty Mo & Sinner Society's Aztec Prince have been rivals for awhile now, with Prince doing the bidding of SS Leader Eddie Peak. Alas, after Mo defeated Prince in a Street Fight, Mo attempted to turn Prince away from the Sinner Society. Or, as Mo called them, a psychotic cult group! It would appear Mo's words had struck Prince, as Prince would later save Mo from multiple ambushes by his fellow Sinner Society brethren. Mo would later return the favor when Eddie Peak kicked Prince out of the Sinner Society and prepared to have stable gang up on Prince. Thus, the tag team match was scheduled for the War to Settle the Score. Mighty Mo & Aztec Prince versus Sinner Society's Eddie Peak & (masked) Human Arsenal! Or....so we thought! As Mighty Mo & Eddie Peak were about to start the match as the legal men, Peak would call for a mic. "I just can't do it anymore," said Peak. "Mo...Mo Mo Mo...how could you possibly have been this stupid?" As Peak cackled away, Aztec Prince attacked Mighty Mo from behind! Peak watched with glee as Prince delivered a vicious beatdown to Mo, finalizing it by powerbombing Mo through a table! It was a ruse all along, just to deceive and destroy Mighty Mo. A psychotic ruse by TCW's own personal psychotic stable, the Sinner Society!

Just completed the most enjoyable surprise debut in a long while in my TCW game, using one of my favorite Cornellverse wrestlers. On the latest monthly edition of Saturday Night Showcase, a down on his luck Chris Flynn issued an open challenge to anyone on the TCW roster. Flynn was on a losing streak after being booted from The Syndicate, and was looking to find his footing. Little did he know who would answer! The lights would go out in the arena, then "Sweet Dreams" by Marilyn Manson would begin to play. A silhouette appeared at the stage, and just as the music picked up, KIRK JAMESON would appear! The stone cold submission machine looked over the roaring crowd, stunned by his appearance here in TCW. Try as he might, Chris Flynn ended up being no match for Kirk Jameson that night. Jameson would lock on the Kata-Ha-Jime to choke Flynn out cold! Post-match, Jameson would demand a mic. Standing over Flynn's limp body, the crowd still chanting his name, Kirk would softly speak two words. "Sweet dreams..." His work done, Kirk Jameson tossed the mic down and departed the arena, never looking back.

TCW Malice in Wonderland 2021 January 2021 Attendance: 79, 608 Show Rating: 86 The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) defeated RH Enterprise’s The Golden Boys (Roger Cage & Cali Slick). Two days later on Total Wrestling, CBA would be named the new #1 contenders to the TCW World Tag Team Championship! (84) Mighty Mo defeated Sinner Society’s Aztec Prince in a Street Fight. The finish came when Mo put Prince through a stack of tables with the Plunging Spinebuster! (88) In Six Man Tag Team Action, Mikey Lau & Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx) defeated The Syndicate (Spencer Spade & The Canadian Animals). (89) In his TCW PPV Wrestling Debut, Kings of Wrestling member Hollywood Bret Starr defeated Sammy Bach. The finish came after a timely rake of the eyes by Starr! (84) In a Tag Team Tables Match, The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeated W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) to successfully retain the TCW World Team Championship. The third member of Shade Gang, Troy Tornado, would make his surprise return after being put through a table by WMD weeks prior. Tornado, of course, helped his boys retain the gold! (82) RH Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez defeated Keanu Ipo (High Flyin’ Hawaiian) to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. On the brink of losing his TV gold, Hernandez would reverse a Victory Roll by Ipo…and would pick up the win by using the ropes as leverage! (84) Aaron Andrews & Mr. Lucha defeated The Kings of Wrestling (Jay Chord & Matthew Keith). With the rest of KoW banned from ringside, Lucha gained revenge after being cheated out of the King of Kings Tournament by the newly formed stable. Lucha would pin the man who defeated him in the finals of the tournament, Matthew Keith. (92) In a match six months in the making, The Syndicate’s Tommy Cornell defeated Wolf Hawkins to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. With The Syndicate banned from ringside, it looked like Hawkins would finally get his revenge on his former friend and mentor. But, with referee Darren Smith down, a “masked man” would appear and smash Hawkins in the face with the TCW World Title! With Hawkins out on his feet, Cornell would easily pick up the win with the Guilt Trip. (85) In the aftermath of Malice in Wonderland, Wolf Hawkins would go on an absolute rampage. Despite being unable to prove it, Hawkins is 100% convinced that the masked man who attacked him is none other than Tommy Cornell’s new protégé Spencer Spade. This will lead to TCW’s General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson booking Hawkins & Spade in a match at The War to Settle the Score…inside a Steel Cage! It sure seems like RDJ believes it was Spade, too! Also, the war against the Kings of Wrestling continues, as a band of babyface wrestlers simply known as “The Alliance” has come together due to their own seperate issues with KoW. Unable to control the war, RDJ has booked the first ever Stadium Stampede in TCW history, which will take place at The War to Settle the Score!

2020 is officially finished in my latest Total Championship Wrestling save. TCW ends 2020 as the Most Popular Company in USA (while still #3 in the entire world, working on that!). The World Title picture continues to revolve around this ongoing feud between World Champion Tommy Cornell and Wolf Hawkins. Hawkins continues to seek revenge against Cornell, who returned to TCW and betrayed Wolf, and in the process took back his stable, The Syndicate. At the final PPV of the year, King of Kings 2020, Hawkins managed to find allies in Joshua Taylor & Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx), all four of which have been feuding with The Syndicate. Together, they battled Syndicate members Spencer Spade, Doc Hammond, & The Canadian Animals) in an Eight Man Tag Team Elimination Match. When it came down to Hawkins and Cornell’s new protégé Spencer Spade, Tommy would interfere in the hopes to stop Wolf. Hawkins would survive though, and eventually eliminate Spade to win the tag match. As a result of the victory, Hawkins would finally get the match he has desired for so long. Hawkins will challenge Cornell for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship at Malice in Wonderland ’21! In The Television Title picture, Ross Henry Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez vows to take the TCW TV Championship to levels that it has never reached before, to levels that no TV Champion could ever possibly reach again. Whether Hernandez does that or not, Mainstream notched the biggest win of his TV Title reign at King of Kings. Not only did he defeat former champion Sammy Bach in the return match, he did it cleanly! That’s something you don’t see much from Hernandez or the entire RH Enterprise! In the Tag Team Title picture, The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) continue their dominance over the division as 2x Tag Team Champions. With Troy Tornado rounding out the trio, their feud with W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) continues. At the King of Kings PPV, WMD aligned themselves with newcomer Keanu Ipo to battle Shade Gang in a Six Man Tag Team Match (Ipo is the new name for the High Flying Hawaiian, which I came up with thanks to a Hawaiian name simulator). Together, Ipo & WMD came away with the big win, and WMD looks primed for another crack at the Tag Team Champions. The Shade Gang will have to watch out, though. The tag teams are lining up for a chance at the champs. The list includes the deadly team known as The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman). After they quit the RH Enterprise due to issues with manager Ross Henry, the Assassins would be ambushed by the Enterprise. That would include Henry’s latest signings, The Golden Boys (Cali Slick & Roger Cage). The Assassins, though, would find new management with Brother Grimm, and they plan on making Ross Henry’s life a living hell! And of course, the 2020 King of Kings Tournament took place in December 2020. A 16 Man Tournament took place over the course of three weeks, leading up to the Semis and Finals taking place on the King of Kings PPV. Mr. Lucha & Matthew Keith would find themselves in the Finals of the Tournament! Early on in the night on the Pay-Per-View, we would see the finale of the lengthy, violent feud between Aaron Andrews and Greg Gauge. Tired of all the backstage brawls and sneak attacks between the two, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would book them in a Last Man Standing Match to settle it once and for all. In a shocking turn events, Hollywood Bret Starr would appear for the first time in TCW, and would attack Aaron Andrews to help Greg Gauge pick up the huge win! Later on in the night, Hollywood Bret Starr would appear once again, this time trying to interfere in the King of Kings Finals between Mr. Lucha & Matthew Keith, attempting to attack Lucha. Lucha would thwart the attack, though, and send Starr reeling from the ring. As Referee Darren Smith was distracted by Starr’s attempt to re-enter the ring, Jay Chord would appear from crowd and attack Mr. Lucha! This was the first time we have seen Chord since he lost to Mr. Lucha on PPV one month prior! Matthew Keith would take advantage and defeat Mr. Lucha, thus becoming the 2020 TCW King of Kings! Post-Match, before the PPV finished, Mr. Lucha would find himself beaten down by Matthew Keith, Jay Chord, Bret Starr, and even Greg Gauge. Aaron Andrews would attempt to save Lucha, but no luck. Days later, all would be explained. They call themselves the Kings of Wrestling. All four men have the blood of wrestling royalty. Chord. Keith. Starr. Together, they intend to take over Total Championship Wrestling!

TCW Psycho Circus October 2020 Attendance: 75,608 Show Rating: 92 In Six Man Tag Team Action High Concept def. Roderick Remus & The Golden Boys After The Golden Boys (Cali Sick & Roger Cage) helped RH Enterprise’s Roderick Remus defeat Benny Benson in singles action, Remus agreed to team with the Boys to take on the trio of High Concept (Benny Benson, Fro Sure, & Greg Black). While this feud between High Concept & Golden Boys seems far from over, High Concept pick up the win this time after Fro Sure hit Cali Slick with the Sure Thing. (80) Spencer Spade def. Bart Biggins Spencer Spade debuted on TCW debut in October 2020 by interrupting an interview for Super Party Squad (Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx). While promoting himself, Spade proceeded to mock the former tag champions for losing their return match for the titles. When Spade issued an open challenge for his debut match at Psycho Circus, Bart Biggins was more than happy to step up and accept! Spencer Spade, though, proved though that he can live up to the hype, and now stands at 1-0 in TCW. (74) Aztec Prince def. Joshua Taylor Taylor got his second crack at Eddie Peak’s prized pupil after Prince won their first encounter in tainted fashion. Taylor, though, came into the match with injured ribs after a sneak attack by Prince just days prior on Total Wrestling. Taylor tried his best, but the masked phenom was just too much for Joshua. Aztec Prince continues to rise quickly up the ranks in TCW. (83) Hardcore Tag Team Match W.M.D. def. The Cold Blooded Assassins The tag team feud between W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) & RH Enterprise’s Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) has been absolute mayhem. Brawls post-match, brawls backstage. Having enough of the nonsense, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson booked t his Hardcore Tag Team to settle the score. The Assassins won the first encounter. This time, W.M.D. come away with the victory after hitting Ernest Youngman with the Doomsday Device. (75, Ugh, Biggest Disappointment of the card after their standard match scored an 82) TCW Television Championship Match Mainstream Hernandez def. Sammy Bach to become the NEW TCW Television Champion The classic story of the young lion challenging the old lion, the insults began with RH Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez calling it laughable that an “over the hill” wrestler like Sammy Bach represented the TV Championship. It led to Bach stopping Hernandez from cheating in his Elimination Chamber qualification match against Sammy’s friend Mikey Lau, essentially costing Mainstream his match. It then led then to Hernandez sneak attacking Bach after a successful TV Title defense. And it leads to this. Hernandez looked to be in trouble as Bach attempted to lock in the Bach on your Back. Desperate to survive, Hernandez dug his fingers deep into Bach’s eyes, blinding him. Ignoring the ridicule of the referee, Hernandez took advantage of the situation and hit the Apparition #14 for the 1,2,3! Mainstream Hernandez brings home the TV Title, the first championship for Ross Henry Enterprise! (87) TCW World Tag Team Championship Match The Shade Gang def. The Wrecking Crew to RETAIN the TCW World Tag Team Championship Their second title encounter, The Wrecking Crew’s Mighty Mo & DC Rayne won the first match after The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) got themselves deliberately DQ’ed. TCW GM Ricky Dale Johnson booked this rematch, but that’s not all. Seeing that Shade Gang had a knack for Count Outs, DQs, and flat out cheating? RDJ declared that the Tag Titles could change hands in this match if Shade Gang got themselves Counted Out or DQ’ed! Little did RDJ know what would happen. Mighty Mo looked primed to put Matt Hocking away inside the ring. As the referee was distracted by Marc Speed & DC Rayne fighting outside the ring, the Sinner Society’s Aztec Prince would appear and attack Mighty Mo! Showing off his amazing strength, Prince proceeded to hit Mo with his Triple Powerbomb! Matt Hocking would crawl into the cover, get the referee’s attention, and get the 3 Count for the 2-Time Tag Team Champions! Two Days later on Total Wrestling, Eddie Peak would reveal the whole story. Peak had been waiting for revenge after coming up short in his lengthy, brutal feud against Mighty Mo. He waited for the opportunity to arise, and finally it came in the form of his prized pupil, Aztec Prince! Now, Peak is determined to do what he couldn’t on own his own. End Mighty Mo’s career! (77) Aaron Andrews def. Matthew Keith For months now, Aaron Andrews & Greg Gauge have been feuding. After several matches and fights outside the ring, it led to an enraged Andrews attacking Gauge backstage after Greg cost Aaron his World Title opportunity against Tommy Cornell. As a result, Gauge suffered a shoulder injury and is now out of action. Out to avenge his brother Greg, Matthew Keith would attack Andrews with a steel chair after his match with Ernest Youngman on Saturday Night Showcase. Keith demanded this singles match against Andrews, and TCW GM Ricky Dale Johnson was more than happy to book this match. Despite repetitive interference from daddy dearest Sam Keith, Aaron Andrews would overcome the odds defeat Matthew Keith after connecting with his patented Spear. Post-Match, Matthew & Sam make it clear to Andrews. This is far from over! (89) Elimination Chamber! TCW World Heavyweight Championship Match! Tommy Cornell def. Jay Chord, Mikey Lau, Mr. Lucha, Freddy Huggins, & Wolf Hawkins to RETAIN the TCW World Heavyweight Championship To live up to the name Psycho Circus, TCW GM Ricky Dale Johnson booked this Elimination Chamber match to main event the PPV. The feud between Jay Chord & Mr. Lucha is a personal one. Chord made it so by ripping off and stealing Lucha’s white mask, which has been passed down in Lucha’s legendary wrestling family. Lucha vows never to be finished with Chord until he gets that mask back! As for the match, Lucha managed to eliminate Chord with the Third Strike. Unfortunately for Lucha, Chord was able to force his way back into the Elimination Chamber and plant Lucha with his patented Cradle Piledriver! Needless to say, it led to Lucha’s own elimination! Former allies, former mentor and protégé. Wolf Hawkins was out for revenge after Tommy Cornell’s ultimate betrayal. Cornell made his surprise return to TCW by stealing back The Syndicate, and in the process brutally assaulting their former leader Hawkins. Cornell used what power he still had over the TCW Board to block Ricky Dale Johnson from booking the match we all wanted to see, Cornell versus Hawkins. Cornell’s lawyers argued that Hawkins had no claim to a title match. Despite being the former World Champion, he deserved no return match because he vacated the championship due to injury. RDJ, though, was allowed by the TCW board to grant Hawkins an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. Hawkins would win that qualifying match, which was against former Syndicate ally Doc Hammond. Cornell would use his power again to get fellow Syndicate member Freddy Huggins his own qualifying match, which Freddy won. Despite the odds, Hawkins would eliminate Huggins, and thus it all came down to Hawkins & Cornell! Bloodying Cornell after throwing him through a glass pod, Hawkins looked like he would finally give Tommy his comeuppance. As Hawkins prepared to hit the Full Moon Rising, he would be hit in the head with a Arena Camera by…the Cameraman?! Standing over Wolf’s lifeless body, the cameraman proceeded to remove his hat, glasses, and fake beard. It was SPENCER SPADE! With a smile, Spade stepped aside as Tommy Cornell hit Hawkins with the Guilt Trip for the 1,2,3. (96!) Two days later on Total Wrestling, surrounded by The Syndicate and its newest member, Tommy Cornell started his promo with this memorable line. It told the whole story. “Who do you think brought Spencer Spade to Total Championship Wrestling?”

Total Championship Wrestling September 2020 in Review To decide the #1 Contender to TCW World Heavyweight Championship, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would book a 20 Man Battle Royal on an episode of Total Wrestling. The winner would go on to challenge Syndicate Leader Tommy Cornell for the gold at TCW’s Destructive Energy. It would be none other than former champion Aaron Andrews that won the Battle Royal, thus creating one of the most highly anticipated World Title Matches in the history of Total Championship Wrestling! Mainstream Hernandez was put out of action with a Broken Wrist, thus canceling his Steel Cage Match with Mighty Mo at TCW’s Hotter Than Hell. Despite his injury, the feud would only continue, while Hernandez would use the cast on his wrist as a weapon for various matches involving the RH Enterprise. Finally, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would end the shenanigans announce that Hernandez was cleared by TCW doctors, and the Cage Match with Mighty Mo had been re-booked for TCW’s Destructive Energy! After Joshua Taylor defeated Sinner Society’s Human Arsenal on an episode of Total Wrestling, an altercation would happen between Taylor and SS Leader Eddie Peak. It would lead to Peak’s prized undefeated pupil Aztec Prince sneak attacking Taylor, delivering such a brutal attack that Joshua had to be helped out of the arena! The brand new team to TCW, The Golden Boys (Roger Cage & Cali Slick) have targeted High Concept as they try to make a name for themselves. Dubbed the Golden Boys because of their Californian heritage, Cage & Slick call Benson & Black “old news.” They mocked the fact that they even receive a Tag Title Match, and mocked High Concept even further after they failed to defeat The Shade Gang for the gold. The time for talk seems to be over, as High Concept has challenged The Golden Boys to a match at Destructive Energy. The time to talk is over! Saturday Night Showcase Fro Sure defeated The Syndicate’s Freddy Huggins. Fro Sure finally got his rematch with Huggins as issues between these two men have ensued for over a month now. Though this feud seems far from over, nevertheless, Fro Sure picks up the biggest win of his TCW career…so far! Mighty Mo defeated RH Enterprise’s Roderick Remus. After the match, Mainstream Hernandez would attack Mighty Mo and bloody him with the use of the cast on his broken wrist! The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeated High Concept (Benny Benson & Greg Black) to successfully retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. Sammy Bach defeated Aztec Prince to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. During the match, Joshua Taylor would appear, the first time on TCW Television since being attacked by Aztec Prince! Taylor would distract Prince long enough for Bach to rollup the challenger for the three count, thus handing Aztec Prince his first loss in TCW! Greg Gauge defeated Aaron Andrews in a Street Fight. Stemming from Gauge’s previously rivalry with Sammy Bach, issues between Gauge and Andrews have gotten heated fast. After blinding Andrews with a fire extinguisher blast, Gauge would pick up likely the biggest win of his career after hitting Andrews with a Piledriver on a steel chair. (91 Match Rating!) In the Main Event, Tommy Cornell defeated Jay Chord to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. At the start of the night, Chord won a Fatal Four Way to earn the right to challenge Cornell. Unfortunately for Chord, his heated rival Mr. Lucha would interfere and cost Jay his title opportunity. Lucha has vowed to make Chord’s life a living hell until he returned Lucha’s trademark white mask, which has been passed down in Lucha’s legendary wrestling family. Mission accomplished, I’d say! This feud just continues to get more personal and heated! (92 Match Rating!) TCW Destructive Energy 2020 The Golden Boys defeated High Concept. Thanks to dirty tactics, Roger Cage & Cali Slick pick up the huge win over one of the best teams in professional wrestling. This feud seems far from over! W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) defeated The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman). A red hot tag team feud right now, it’s easy to understand what’s going on. All four men are bad asses, and both teams think they should be TCW Tag Team Champions! In their first 2 on 2 encounter, it’s W.M.D. come out on top! Aztec Prince defeated Joshua Taylor. During the match, Taylor would turn his attention to Eddie Peak, wiping him out with a plancha, hoping to prevent Peak from interfering in the match once more. All it did, though, was give Aztec Prince the chance to hit his patented Triple Powerbomb for the 1,2,3. Prince picks up the biggest win in his TCW career…so far! In Tag Team Action, TCW Television Champion Sammy Bach & Mikey Lau defeated The Kings of Wrestling (Greg Gauge & Matthew Keith). After Greg helped his brother Matthew defeat Mikey Lau in singles competition, Lau would choose Bach as his partner to even things out at Destructive Energy. In this encounter, it would be Lau pinning Keith to the mat for the 1,2,3! In a 2 out of 3 Falls Match, The Shade Gang defeated Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx[/b] to successfully retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. After many battles and two title changes in between them, this four month long rivalry comes a close. The Shade Gang remain atop the tag team division…of course, thanks to the usual interference by the third member of the trio, Troy Tornado! In the finale of their five month long rivalry, Mainstream Hernandez defeated Mighty Mo in a Steel Cage Match. It looked all but over for Hernandez after Mo hit a Plunging Spinebuster off the Top Rope. Mo would attempt to exit the cage door, but the rest of the RH Enterprise blocked the exit! Mo attempted to climb out of the cage, but Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman would climb the cage and try to keep Mo from escaping. After Mo fought Brave & Youngman at the top of the cage, a battered & bloody Hernandez would drag himself out of the cage door and fall to ringside! Mo was left in disbelief as Hernandez was carried from ringside by the rest of RH Enterprise…the victor! Jay Chord defeated Mr. Lucha. If Chord lost this match, he would’ve been forced to return Lucha’s trademark white mask. Unfortunately for Lucha, Chord would hit a timely low kick behind the back of Referee Ray Johnson. It would set up the trademark Cradle Piledriver and the win for Jay Chord. (93 Match Rating!) In the Main Event of Destructive Energy, Tommy Cornell defeated Aaron Andrews to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. In the weeks leading up to Destructive Energy, Andrews would align with the trio High Concept to help prevent the rest of The Syndicate from interfering in the title match. The plan would work, as High Concept would end up fighting with The Syndicate all the way out of the arena! Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be the Syndicate but Andrews’s heated rival Greg Gauge that would cost Aaron his title match. A sick chair shot to Andrews’s head by Gauge would lead to Cornell hitting the Guilt Trip and successfully retaining the World Title. (92 Match Rating!) As Tommy Cornell stood tall in the ring post-match with the World Title, the crowd suddenly ignited into an uproar. From the crowd came a figure and now stood behind Cornell. It was none other than the former leader of the Syndicate and Cornell’s former protégé, WOLF HAWKINS! We haven’t seen Wolf since he was brutally kicked out of The Syndicate! A stunned Cornell would turn to face off with Hawkins. Hawkins unleashed a brutal beat down on Cornell in and out of the ring until The Syndicate raced back to ringside to rescue their new leader. Wolf Hawkins would disappear into the crowd, now embraced by the fans that once despised him! Tommy Cornell might be once again the TCW World Champion. He might control The Syndicate once more. But…it would appear that he has woken a Wolf Hawkins that we have NEVER seen before!

Total Championship Wrestling August 2020 In Review As I posted previously, Tommy Cornell made his surprise return to TCW and won the 32 Man Tournament for the Vacant TCW World Heavyweight Championship (vacated due to Wolf Hawkins’s injury). Cornell would also betray Wolf Hawkins by taking over The Syndicate, the entire stable delivering a brutal assault to their now former leader. Ever since then, Cornell’s grip upon TCW continues to tighten, while no one has seen Wolf Hawkins since what has been dubbed “the ultimate betrayal.” A feud between Mr. Lucha & Jay Chord has begun, ignited by Chord’s loss to Lucha in the Semi-Finals of the World Title Tournament. Getting personal fast, Chord would attack Lucha on Total Wrestling and rip the trademark white mask off of Lucha! Lucha would cover his face before it was revealed to the world, but the damage had been done. Lucha feels like Chord has insulted his family legacy and is determined for revenge. Chord, meanwhile, continues to mock Lucha, taunting him with his own white mask. The final match in the Mighty Mo – Mainstream Hernandez was supposed to happen at TCW Hotter Than Hell. A Steel Cage Match, leaving Hernandez nowhere to run this time! But, Hernandez suffered a legit broken wrist, causing him to be sidelined for a month. For now, the storyline is being extended by Hernandez accusing Mo of assault in the parking lot after a TCW show, thus causing the broken wrist. Hernandez has gone so far as to file a lawsuit against Mo! Two of the best wrestlers in the world, Joshua Taylor & Roderick Remus split singles victories against each other, and in doing so ignited a feud. We finally saw the end of the feud on Total Wrestling, as Taylor defeated Remus in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match. In fun news, Nicky Champion’s Contract with USPW was set to expire, and the wrestling world went BONKERS! TCW was in talks with Nicky…that is until pending negotiations went beyond 500K per month and several incentives! Nicky eventually re-signed with USPW, securing quite the payday. Saturday Night Showcase On this month’s edition of SNS, the rivalry between Sammy Bach & Greg Gauge finally came to a close with one final battle over the TCW Television Championship. A Ladder Match! Matthew Keith would interfere, looking to help his brother Greg regain the TV Title. But Aaron Andrews would even the odds, having his own issues recently with the Kings of Wrestling! In the end, Bach would climb the ladder and continue his reign as TCW Television Champion! Tommy Cornell defeated Mighty Mo to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. Thanks to interference by Mainstream Hernandez, Cornell continues his historic 7th reign as TCW World Champion! In a rematch from a few weeks prior, Aaron Andrews & Joshua Taylor defeated RH Enterprise’s Mainstream Hernandez & Roderick Remus. After the first match ended with a DQ due to interference (Greg Gauge), the rematch took place under Tornado Tag rules. Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx) successful retained the TCW World Tag Team Championship against The Sinner Society (Human Arsenal & Killer Shark). After battling to a Double Count Out the first time, Tana The Mighty & Aztec Prince had their rematch on SNS. This time, they battled in a Hardcore Match! Aztec Prince would come out victorious in the rematch, thus continuing to rise quickly up the TCW ranks as Eddie Peak’s prized pupil in the Sinner Society. TCW Hotter Than Hell! Hotter Than Hell is now the home of TCW’s annual Lethal Lottery Tournament! 16 of TCW’s top wrestlers are randomly inserted into a 8 Tag Team Tournament! In the first edition of Lethal Lottery, Aaron Andrews & Mighty Mo defeated Jay Chord & Greg Gauge in the Tournament Finals to become the Lethal Lottery Champions! Fyi, the tournament placement was 100% random…until Mainstream Hernandez’s injury, thus canceling his match with Mighty Mo at Hotter Than Hell. Card Subject To Change! A TV Title Match between Sammy Bach & Freddy Huggins meant for Total Wrestling was moved onto the Hotter Than Hell card, and Mo took Bach’s spot in the tournament brackets. Sammy Bach defeated Freddy Huggins to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. A feud between Huggins & Fro Sure has been brewing, and both men would get involved in each other’s PPV matches. In this instance, Fro Sure would prevent Huggins from using the TV Title Belt as a weapon! In a Triple Threat Tag Team Match, The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeated Champions Super Party Squad & W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) to become the NEW TCW World Tag Team Champions! One month after losing the gold to Super Party Squad, Shade Gang use their dirty tactics to become 2-Time Champions!

The obvious one, Marc DuBois. So many times I've been like...I can get him back on track and take advantage of his talents. And then the fun ensues! In one of my saves I blacklisted him and then I haven't tried again since.

I'm contemplating on creating a Trios Championship in my TCW save, first time I ever created one in any of my saves. I have a lot of stables/alliances in this save, so as the roster bulks up, I figured...what better time? Just wanted to ask other's experience with a Trios Division. What is worth the time and effort? Any advice on making it a success?

I kinda had the same thought process with El Leon. Wanted to bring him in for my TCW Cruiserweight Division, too (was actually going to split my male roster into 2 weight classes, Heavyweight & Junior Heavyweight). But yeah, you're right. The price for Leon is massive cause of his popularity in Mexico. Plus now at age 37? It's a difficult decision. I might have gone through with it if it was he willing to become more muscular, but Leon declined.

Today in fact, I had to make the difficult decision to pass on signing Joss Thompson in my TCW game. I had already passed out some big contracts to rebuild TCW, including bringing back Tommy Cornell to feud with Wolf Hawkins. I have always been a huge fan of Joss and made him a key player in previous TEW games. But the dude is 39 now (as of August 2020 in the game), and it would take a massive long term deal to lock him down. Reluctantly, I decided to pass on Joss and focus on my younger talent.

As I posted previously, TCW World Heavyweight Champion Wolf Hawkins suffered an injury, causing me to vacate the World Title. I decided to make a positive out a negative. So, to crown a new World Champion, I built a 2 month long, 32 Man Tournament. It would lead to TCW Summer Showdown 2020, where the finals of the tournament would take place in the main event. Behold! The 32 Man, TCW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament! Round of 32 West Bracket Matt Hocking defeated Frederique Mighty Mo defeated Killer Shark Jay Chord defeated Tana The Mighty Bart Biggins defeated Marc Speed Mr. Lucha defeated Chris Flynn Ernest Youngman defeated DC Rayne Fro Sure defeated Human Arsenal Freddy Huggins defeated Benny Benson East Bracket Doc Hammond defeated Chance Fortune One Man Army defeated Edd Stone Mainstream Hernandez defeated Flying Jimmy Foxx Joshua Taylor defeated Eddie Chandler Aaron Andrews defeated Akima Brave Roderick Remus defeated Maverick Greg Gauge defeated Greg Black Mikey Lau defeated Troy Tornado At Excessive Force 2020, we expected to see The Syndicate’s Doc Hammond versus One Man Army in a “Round of 16” Tournament Match. Former partners, The New Wave goes to war with each other! But…Doc Hammond instead came out in street clothes, carrying a mic. “I will not be participating in the tournament tonight. I am giving up my spot in the tournament. I am giving my spot in the tournament…to The Syndicate…” Hammond turned to the curtains. Suddenly, an all too familiar music began to play, leading the crowd into an uproar. Out walked the former owner of TCW and 6-Time World Champion, Tommy Cornell! Rough Justice was back, and he was dressed to wrestle! Later in the week, TCW’s General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would reveal he had no choice to but allow Cornell to take Hammond’s spot in the tournament. “It would be appear Cornell still has some pull in this company,” said RDJ. Meanwhile, Cornell would later state he was here back in TCW for one reason. Wolf Hawkins asked Cornell personally to watch over The Syndicate while Wolf was out on injury. Cornell felt like he had no choice but to honor the wishes of his protégé…and best friend. “I am going to win the World Title Tournament, and I’m doing it for my best friend, Wolf Hawkins.” Round of 16 West Bracket Mighty Mo defeated Matt Hocking Jay Chord defeated Bart Biggins Mr. Lucha defeated Ernest Youngman Freddy Huggins defeated Fro Sure East Bracket Tommy Cornell defeated One Man Army Joshua Taylor defeated Mainstream Hernandez Aaron Andrews defeated Roderick Remus Greg Gauge defeated Mikey Lau Quarter Finals West Bracket Jay Chord defeated Mighty Mo Mr. Lucha defeated Freddy Huggins East Bracket Tommy Cornell defeated Joshua Taylor Aaron Andrews defeated Greg Gauge Semi-Finals Mr. Lucha defeated Jay Chord Tommy Cornell defeated Aaron Andrews The Finals! In the Main Event of Summer Showdown 2020, Tommy Cornell defeated Mr. Lucha to become the historic 7-Time TCW World Heavyweight Champion! Two days later on Total Wrestling, Tommy Cornell celebrated his victory while surrounded by his Syndicate brethren. Cornell capped off his victory speech by dedicating his 7th Title Reign to his best friend, Wolf Hawkins. As Cornell proceeded to talk about what their friendship meant, Wolf Hawkins’s music hit. Out came the former World Champion! And unlike Cornell, Hawkins wasn’t smiling when joining his Syndicate clan in the ring. “What are you up to, Tommy?” asked Hawkins. “What are you really up to? I never asked you to come back and help with The Syndicate while I'm out recovering. I never called you. Best friends?! Hell, Tommy, I haven’t talked to you since you took your ball and headed out the country!” A long face off between Hawkins & Cornell ensued with the rest of The Syndicate just watching. Suddenly, both Freddy Huggins & Edd Stone attacked Wolf Hawkins from behind! Cornell watched smiling as the entire Syndicate began to beat down their own leader! With Hawkins being held up by his own followers, Cornell held the championship belt in Wolf’s face. “The Syndicate is mine, Wolf! It has always been MINE! TCW has always been MINE! And now I’m back for what’s MINE!” The beatdown would ensue, steel chairs included. It would come to an end with Tommy Cornell bashing the TCW World Title offer Hawkins’s skull, knocking his old friend out cold. Tommy Cornell is back in TCW…and The Syndicate is once again under his control!

Lol, I'll still do Chord/Hawkins eventually, just won't do a full blown feud. The 32 Man Tournament has begun, and I got a plan finally. I'll post the tourney results when its finished. I pretty much scrapped all my plans for the TCW Excessive Force PPV Card and instead booked the biggest matches in the Round of 16. It actually doesn't bother me, kinda wasting a PPV. I wanted to eventually cut back on PPVs. Never been a fan of 12 PPVs per year. In the mean time, I actually just brought back Saturday Night Showcase, but it's a monthly product. Essentially, it's my version of Saturday Night Main Event.

So, I just finished Total Mayhem XXIV, with Wolf Hawkins retaining the World Title against Aaron Andrews, ending an epic feud. I went back and forth for so long, deciding who I wanted to be champion for the oncoming year. I finally decided on Hawkins because Surprise!!! I just signed Tommy Cornell to come back to TCW. I was gonna cook up an epic, year long feud between Hawkins & Cornell, and make Wolf my top babyface and my figurehead in the process. First match after Total Mayhem, in a non-title bout against Flying Jimmy Foxx, Hawkins suffers an injury. Out for 3 months. I want to scream into the void for the rest of the day. Currently scrapping a lot of my plans for my next two PPVs (Excessive Force & Summer Showdown). And just for the sake of fun, I'm going to do something I've never done. A 32 Man Tournament, the winner to decide the new TCW World Heavyweight Champion. I currently haven't made a decision who is going to win. Jay Chord seemed the obvious choice, especially because I'm turning Hawkins face. But...turns out Hawkins & Chord have poor chemistry as opponents. There goes that potentially epic feud! Oh boy...I'm going to waste a lot of time in the next few days because of this wrench in my plans...

Total Mayhem XXIV May 2020 Attendance: 56,553 Show Rating: 88 In a Tag Team Fatal Four Way, W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) defeated Beautiful Love (Dazzling Dave Diamond & Frederique), Devine Fortune, & The Syndicate (Doc Hammond & Edd Stone). With this victory, W.M.D. earns a Tag Team Title Match in two days on TCW Total Wrestling! (57) Darryl Devine suffered a Torn Abdominal in the match, thus affecting the match rating. Aztec Prince defeated Harry Allen. Eddie Peak’s prized pupil remains undefeated in TCW after demolishing Allen. (46) Joshua Taylor defeated Freddy Huggins. Mr. Lucha would prevent Huggins from using a steel chair. Taylor would take advantage of the altercation to pick up the win. (79) Taylor replaced Mr. Lucha in this match after Lucha suffered an injury. Taylor was originally scheduled to be a part of Mighty Mo’s Total Mayhem team. High Concept defeated The Sinner Society (Human Arsenal & Killer Shark) by Disqualification. In High Concept’s first tag match in TCW (Greg Black’s first match altogether), SS Leader Eddie Peak would interfere to cause the DQ. Shockingly, Fro Sure would hit the ring to help fight off Sinner Society! (60) Later, it would be revealed that Fro Sure has been Benny Benson’s protégé since joining TCW, and is now the third member of High Concept! Jay Chord defeated Mikey Lau. Chord called out the entire TCW roster with not-so-kind words, while openly stating he was waiting on the winner of Andrews – Hawkins. Lau would answer that call. Unfortunately Mikey, he would come up just short to the self-proclaimed “Man of Destiny.” (79) Team Beef defeated RH Enterprise in a Total Mayhem Match. The heated rivalry of Mighty Mo & Mainstream Hernandez led to Total Mayhem. Mo avenges a tainted singles loss to Hernandez two weeks prior. (80) Team Beef = Mighty Mo, DC Rayne, Tana The Mighty, & T-Bone Bright RH Enterprise = Mainstream Hernandez, Roderick Remus, & The Cold Blooded Assassins (Akima Brave & Ernest Youngman) Sammy Bach defeated Greg Gauge to become the NEW TCW Television Champion. Dubbed by Gauge as “Sammy Last’s Big Chance,” Bach was determined to earn that big Total Mayhem moment that he had never achieved in his twenty-four year career. Well Sammy, you got it! (84) Bach ends Greg Gauge’s first TV Title reign after nine months and eighteen successful title defenses. The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeat Super Party Squad (Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx) to successfully retain the TCW Tag Team Championship. The third member of Shade Gang, Troy Tornado, would sneak Hocking some type of foreign object (brass knucks?), allowing him to knock Biggins out cold. Hocking would tuck it in his tights and cover Biggins before the zebra realized what happened. (81) In the epic main event of Total Mayhem, Wolf Hawkins defeated Aaron Andrews in a Mayhem Cell to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. One of the biggest feuds in TCW history finally comes to a close, as both men spilled blood to prove that they are the #1 wrestler in professional wrestling. Despite the rest of The Syndicate unable to help him this time, Hawkins pulls out the win and continues his fourth reign as TCW World Champion. (92, MOTN)

TCW Where Angels Fear To Tread April 2020 Show Rating: 82 Attendance: 51, 342 In a Tornado Tag Team Match, Bart Biggins & Flying Jimmy Foxx defeat The Syndicate (Doc Hammond & Edd Stone). Biggins picks up a big pinfall over his former friend and partner Stone. (74) Matthew Keith defeats Elliot Thomas. The Kings of Wrestling member (ala The Keith Family) remains undefeated in singles competition . (55) Mainstream Hernandez defeats Tana The Mighty. For the first time, Hernandez is accompanied to the ring by an unnamed, rather large bodyguard. No surprise, that bodyguard gets involved to help Hernandez pick up the win. (72) Greg Gauge defeats Joshua Taylor to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. This much anticipated rematch is the finale of a four month long rivalry between Gauge & Taylor. (84, Match of the Night) In a 6 Man Hardcore Tag Team Match, Mr. Lucha & W.M.D. (One Man Army & Maverick) defeat The Sinner Society (Eddie Peak, Killer Shark, & Titan). The blood feud between W.M.D. & The Sinner Society is brought to a close, as One Man Army pins SS Leader Eddie Peak to pick up the big win. (70) Wolf Hawkins defeats Mighty Mo to successfully retain the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. Mighty Mo comes into the match with an injured shoulder thanks to a Mainstream Hernandez sneak attack. Despite Mo’s best effort, Hawkins takes advantage of the injury to keep the World Title in The Syndicate camp. (82) The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeat John Anderson & Benny Benson to successfully retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. Tag team specialists Anderson & Benson united and flew up the tag team ranks to gain this title match. But, one really bad miscommunication between the duo leads to Anderson crashing hard to the ringside floor, hitting his head hard. Benson is forced to fight most of this match alone, and when it appears Anderson has recovered enough to get the hot tag? Anderson drops from the ring apron and walks out on Benson! Needless to say, the Shade Gang take advantage to keep the Tag Team gold. (71) In The First Ever TCW Ticket To Mayhem Match (Money in the Bank), Aaron Andrews defeats Freddy Huggins, Jay Chord, Mikey Lau, Roderick Remus, & Sammy Bach. Andrews climbs the twenty foot ladder and retrieves the contract, guaranteeing him a World Title Match in the Main Event at Total Mayhem XXIV! The PPV comes to a close as TCW World Champion Wolf Hawkins walks out onto the stage and watches as Andrews celebrates with the contract. Hawkins now knows it is inevitable. Despite all his antics to avoid fighting the former World Champion once more, Andrews found a loophole by winning the Ticket to Mayhem. In the Main Event of the Total Mayhem XXIV, the historic feud of Aaron Andrews & Wolf Hawkins will come to an end…and it will take place one on one…locked in the Mayhem Cell!

Just noticed in my TCW game that Tommy Cornell’s 21CW contract expires in 2 months time. My mind is already racing with the possibilities. Maybe it’s time for the Cornell - Hawkins feud the world never saw???

TCW A Little South of Sanity March 2020 Kings of Wrestling member Greg Gauge defeated Benny Benson to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. (79) TCW’s newest star Fro Sure defeated RH Enterprise’s Akima Brave for his first TCW PPV Victory. (62) With Eddie Chandler & Nate Johnson waiting in the ring, Mr. Lucha would make his entrance and reveal his mystery partner. Much to the shock of everyone, it’s now former SWF Superstar, Mikey Lau! Mr. Lucha & Mikey Lau defeated The Elite in tag team action. (69) RH Enterprise’s Roderick Remus defeated Tana The Mighty, thanks to a distraction by the one and only, Ross Henry. (73) Joshua Taylor defeated Kings of Wrestling member Matthew Keith by Disqualification. The DQ took place when Keith’s brother Greg Gauge interfered, saving Keith from Taylor’s Butterfly Lock. (79) The Kings of Wrestling proceeded to beatdown Taylor, including daddy dearest Sam Keith. But, the newly signed Mikey Lau would run in to make the save, preventing further harm to Taylor! The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeated Devine Fortune to successfully retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. (76) In a Dog Collar Match, Mighty Mo defeated The Syndicate’s Freddy Huggins, bringing this heated rivalry to a close. (83) In the 1st Annual TCW Bunkhouse Brawl, Sammy Bach won the 20 Man Battle Royal to win a future TCW World Heavyweight Championship. Bach would eliminate last his longtime rival Jay Chord to secure the victory. (75) All in all, I enjoyed reviving the Bunkhouse Brawl in TCW. But, I think next time when I book A Little South of Sanity, I’m going to make the winner receive a World Title or TV Title Match on the same night. In a Steel Cage Match, The Syndicate’s Wolf Hawkins defeated Aaron Andrews to become the NEW TCW World Heavyweight Champion. The final encounter! TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson warned Hawkins that this would be his last chance. Andrews, meanwhile, voided his title rematch clause to make Hawkins agree to a Steel Cage Match! Andrews thought he had fought off all the possible Syndicate interference in the Steel Cage Match, and even got some help from ally, Mighty Mo. It looked like Andrews overcame it all after laying Hawkins out with his patented Spear. But, as Andrews proceeded to crawl out the cage door, Doc Hammond would slam the cage door on Aaron’s head! Andrews was left out cold, with part of his body hanging out of the cage door! Wolf Hawkins would crawl over the champion’s limp body and drop to the floor, securing his 4th reign as TCW World Heavyweight Champion! (92, MOTN) Two days later on TCW Total Wrestling, Sammy Bach would cash in his World Title shot, spoiling Wolf Hawkins’s title victory celebration. But, Bach’s opportunity to finally win the TCW World Title would be destroyed by none other than Jay Chord! Before Total Wrestling went off air, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would reveal to Hawkins his title challenger at the next PPV, Where Angels Fear To Tread. Get ready Wolf, because you’re next title challenger is Mighty Mo! Also at Where Angels Fear To Thread, the first ever Ticket To Mayhem Match! GM RDJ’s creation, it will be a 6 Man Ladder Match with a contract hanging above. That contract is one wrestler’s ticket to headlining TCW Total Mayhem 24, and challenging for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship!

TCW The War To Settle The Score February 2020 In A Tag Team Fatal Four Way Match, Beautiful Love (Danny Fonzarelli & Frederique) defeated The Elite, Devine Fortune, and the newly formed team known as Team Beef (Tana The Mighty & T-Bone Bright). (62) As a result of their victory, Beautiful Love will challenge The Shade Gang for the TCW World Tag Team Championship later in the evening. Mr. Lucha defeated Chris Flynn. (59) RH Enterprise’s Roderick Remus defeated John Anderson. (68) The newly formed team known as W.M.D. (Maverick & One Man Army) went to a Double Disqualification with The Behemoths.

The assist goes to fellow Syndicate members Eddie Chandler & Nate Johnson. (70) Sammy Bach defeated Jay Chord in a Last Man Standing Match. The finish came when Bach came flying off the entrance stage, putting Chord through a pair of tables! Bach managed to get up right before the ten count! (81) The Shade Gang (Marc Speed & Matt Hocking) defeated Beautiful Love to successfully retain the TCW World Tag Team Championship. The third member of the trio, Troy Tornado, interfered to help his buddies keep the gold. But of course! (70) Greg Gauge defeated Joshua Taylor to successfully retain the TCW Television Championship. Taylor already had his injured knee (thanks to Gauge) and Greg’s father Sam Keith to worry about in this title match. Little did he know that there would be a masked man who would interfere, attacking Taylor’s injured knee behind the referee’s back! Gauge would lock Taylor in the Proton Lock, and Taylor had no choice. Taylor made the business decision and tapped out! (84, Match of the Night!) Two weeks later on Total Wrestling, it would be revealed that the masked man is none other than Greg Gauge’s brother, Matthew Keith! The Keith Family have united in TCW, and are now known as The Kings of Wrestling! *Cue “Kings Never Die” by Eminem* In the Main Event, The Syndicate (Wolf Hawkins & Doc Hammond) defeated TCW World Heavyweight Champion Aaron Andrews & Mighty Mo in a Tag Team Street Fight. Prior to the match, TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson would have the rest of The Syndicate escorted from the arena in the hopes to avoid outside interference. Well, RDJ unfortunately was wrong. Mighty Mo’s rival Freddy Huggins would interfere, blasting both Mo and Andrews with steel chairs. This would allow Hawkins to put Mo away with Full Moon Rising. (74) A surprisingly low score that definitely made me pause. The only big negative for the match was that Aaron Andrews was “off his game.” Oh well, next time! After the match, there appeared to be more to this story than just Huggins costing his rival Mo the match. Freddy Huggins would embrace Hawkins & Hammond in the ring! Two days late on Total Wrestling, it would be confirmed. Freddy Huggins (and his sister Laura Catherine) have joined The Syndicate! Also on Total Wrestling, GM RDJ would announce the return of a classic TCW Event, A Little South Of Sanity! It will be TCW’s next event, and it will embrace the classic southern wrestling gimmick. In fact, there will be a Bunkhouse Brawl 20 Man Battle Royal, with the winner guaranteed a future TCW World Heavyweight Championship Match! Plus, TCW announced the main event for A Little South of Sanity. The rematch we have all waited for! Wolf Hawkins will once again challenge Aaron Andrews for the TCW World Heavyweight Championship. But this time…it will take place in a Fifteen Foot High STEEL CAGE!!!
