Thanks man Yeah Dougie/Becca is building and building. Not really sure where it'll end, as it's been really fun to write so far Stantz needed something to set him apart. If you look at the Melbourne Blondes and the Next Big Things, you've got the clear stars of those to split teams (Belushi and Gilbert). Where do Stantz and Sullivan fit in? I had initially thought about pairing them up but you did that! Haha!! So Sullivan has so far trodden water as a jobber, and Stantz hasn't even been on TV. He needed something, and that interview did it's job if you enjoyed it and it surprised you...

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #fafae6; margin:10px;background: #fffff2; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Every Month, the Pro Wrestling Reporter will give you guys a little update on some of the companies from around the world. We'll cover USPW, SWF and TCW, considered the top three companies right now. Then we'll also cover 21CW and CWA, who are the next couple of companies of that kind of size and style, who run a very similar schedule. We'll look at how RAW compares from a 'Show Rating' standpoint. Update for May 2020. A review of TV and PPV Overall Ratings. USPW – Ranked #1 Week 1: [85] Week 2: [74] Week 3: [76] Week 4: [73] Average TV Show Rating for this month: [77] PPV Rating this month: [86] Updated Average for PPV Ratings this year: [85.6] SWF – Ranked #2 Week 1: [80] Week 2: [78] Week 3: [77] Week 4: [78] Average TV Show Rating for this month: [78.25] PPV Rating this month: [80] Updated Average for PPV Ratings this year: [79.8] TCW – Ranked #3 Week 1: [78] Week 2: [78] Week 3: [73] Week 4: [80] Average TV Show Rating for this month: [77.25] PPV Rating this month: [91] Updated Average for PPV Ratings this year: [86] 21CW – Ranked #4 Week 1: [78] Week 2: [75] Week 3: [84] Week 4: [79] Average TV Show Rating for this month: [79] PPV Rating this month: [75] Updated Average for PPV Ratings this year: [83.8] CWA – Ranked #8 Week 1: [69] Week 2: [74] Week 3: [76] Week 4: [83] Average TV Show Rating for this month: [75.5] PPV Rating this month: [69] Updated Average for PPV Ratings this year: [70.2] RAW – Ranked #10 (up two places!!) Week 1: [72] Week 2: [76] Week 3: [78] Week 4: [78] Average TV Show Rating for this month: [76] TV Special Edition Rating this month: [78 and 78] Updated Average for TV Specials Ratings this year: [74] Summary: Another good month for RAW, who are really hitting their stride with TV show ratings now. Their average rating has continued to climb and they're consistently beating out CWA and were within touching distance of the three big American companies and 21CW this month. It was a close-run contest, but 21CW had the best TV average for the month. Their PPV however scored a shocking 75, by far their lowest of the year, and in the same month that TCW put on a 91. It's brought 21CW's excellent PPV average way down, and TCW's has risen significantly too. </div>

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #fafae6; margin:10px;background: #fffff2; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Howdy Folks, it's good ol' Greg Sluchinski of The Pro Wrestling Reporter here, taking you through some of the big news stories from Professional Wrestling this week. We'll kick off with TCW this week. They grew to 'BIG' sized, after an amazing 91 rated Total Mayhem PPV! It was the highest rated PPV of 2020 so far, and was Main Evented by Wolf Hawkins going over Greg Gauge. I reported a few weeks ago that Greg lost his TV Title to Tana The Mighty, in order to move on to bigger and better things. Since then, he's been undefeated. Blasting through respected talents such as One Man Army, Danny Fonzarelli and Bart Biggins. He's also had two memorable wins over the departing Sammy Bach, pulling an 81 and an 87! But this match with Wolf Hawkins, which he lost, for the TCW World Heavyweight Title, pulled a 94! Superb work from both men. Speaking of Sammy Bach, he competed in his 5th match with SWF this week. He lost. So he's now 0 and 5 since signing with the company. So for those keeping score, his record in 2020 is 9 and 0 with TCW, followed by 0 and 8, before leaving the company. He was seen as a big signing for SWF. The baffling thing for me is that none of this seems like a storyline. Neither show has mentioned the streak, I just happened to pick up on it because, well, yu know, I'm good at what I do. Shocking to see him treated this way by SWF, but if it leads to something, then great I guess. SWF let the contract of John Greed expire this week, which was surprising to me. He was picked up by TCW after a lengthy battle with RAW over in Australia for the veteran. Jack Bruce is apparently looking for someone to become available around the 40 year old mark, as he feels his roster, while experienced, is experienced only in Australia. One or two faces from other countries, especially experienced talents, could help boost the younger guys a lot. Greed's last match was on a strange SWF TV show that pulled an 82, with a Main Event of Rocky Golden and Valiant going over Hollywood Bret Starr and Monty Trescarde in a 96 rated effort!! Absolutely brilliant. Over in the UK, Bedlam defeated Kevin Jones to become a 2-time UK Champion. Jones beat Bedlam back in February to win the Title, but his 4 month reign came to an end this past week. Bedlam is a very consistent worker, and higher ups within 21CW seem pretty high on his work. Finally for now, below are the results and ratings from RAW's recent episode of Attitude! </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #fafae6; margin:10px;background: #fffff2; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> What are my thoughts right now...? Uhhh... Well, we all miss Spiffy Stan Standish greatly around the place. It was a strange feeling backstage without him, but Alexander Banks was in good spirits. He personally came to me to request that Echo and Nicky Gilbert win the Tag Titles as he respects both guys, which I liked. I'd already advocated for Echo and Gilbert to go over, and we already had it planned out. But Banks' seal of approval meant a lot to me. I'm sure it'd mean a lot to the new RAW Tag Team Champions too. Last week I wrote about the contracts we've offered out. I didn't make it public that I was after John Greed. John and I worked together countless times, and I liked him a lot. He ended up staying in the States and staying closer to this family, which I respect. We have however completed the signings of the three Australians I mentioned last week. 25 year old Chuck Everlasting from APW, 27 year old Damian Dastardly from ZEN, and 43 year old Dumfrey Pinn from DIW. Raiding those three promotions is something I said I wouldn't do when I came here, but things change. Injuries happen. Spots open up. Character ideas come to me, and I find people that fit all of those spots. Dastardly and Pinn are two guys I can see myself bringing to the Main Roster as early as the Mid Season Finale (end of June). </div>

Well done to all the winners. Many many thanks for everyone who nominated or voted for my little old diary Come check it out if you haven't already. I do some (terrible) great prediction prizes at the end of each month

Blake Belushi: “I DID IT!! 13 wins in a row... Beating the likes of Loxley Robbins... Luke Steele... Frogue Element... Will Beaumont... Captain Wrestling II... aaaand before you say it, I even beat your beloved Swoop McCarthy (in a tag team match)... The man who thinks he's still the Champion... But Swoop... THIS BELT proves that I... am the Champion... an...” Before he could finish, the music of Luke Steele began playing, and the big, strong, Steele stomped to the ring... Luke Steele: “BLAKE... Don't worry old buddy... I'm not out here ta fight ya... I actually came out to be the first to congratulate you... See... NOBODY wants Swoop McCarthy to be RAW TV Champion... least of all me...” Things were all lovey dovey, until Captain Wrestling II's music hit... Fresh off the back of beating Kerry Wayne in the Steel Cage last week... Captain Wrestling II: “HEY!! If you two can stop holdin' hands for a minute... Congratulations Blake... But STEELE... I am SICK of you pushing young Will Beaumont around... So tonight... in the Main Event... Get to the ring, and FIGHT me... Man to man...!!” Luke Steele: “Tell ya what mate... I know you're all about showin' that little punk the ropes... All you're doing is fighting his battles for him... Wanna teach him somethin'...?? Bring him with ya... and I'll bring Blake Belushi here, for a Tag Team Match!!” </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Lynx and Maurice Jackson have been fighting over Autumn Gleason for months now. Arguing, and treating each other with utter contempt. Jackson locked Lynx in the boot of his car, he broke Lynx's phone, all in an attempt to stop him meeting up with Autumn. She seems to have seen through it though; inviting Lynx to her Birthday drinks. Jackson showed up though, and shoved Lynx over some bar stools!! Cutting his head, and almost ruining Autumn's night. Here tonight, Lynx's anger got the better of him. He charged into Jackson right from the bell, and although his aggression was effective in the main, he should have been more measured at the end of the match. He attempted what would have been a vicious spear in the corner, which Jackson leapfrogged, and Lynx crashed hard into the turnbuckle pad. He staggered backwards and was caught with Jackson's 'Rolling DDT' finisher! 74 Winner: 'The King' Maurice Jackson Finish: 'Rolling DDT' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> A Darkened Room A single light bulb hung above a dark and dusty table, and the camera panned downwards to reveal Frogue Element sat on the floor!! Frogue Element: “An injustice took place last week... Blake Belushi... wasn't supposed to win again... It should have been different... it... I... I took out Swoop McCarthy... I should be RAW Television Champion!!” Frogue began hitting himself in the face... The anger in his eyes was clear, but also the desperation... It was as if he thought that he wouldn't be able to beat Blake Belushi 1 on 1, and that this Fatal Four Way last week was his last chance to win the Title again before Swoop came back... Looks as if Frogue has gone off the deep end!! </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Authority Figure Office Jack Bruce was sat behind a desk next, looking sombre, which is unlike him... Jack Bruce: “Couple of weeks ago... I stood in this very office, with Pope and Tazz – The Killer Waves, and I was excited for them to compete in the Tag Team Tournament... Traffic issues stopped them getting to the arena last week, so we called an audible... Then... After adding God's Gift to the Tournament line up... Adding the RAW Tag Team Titles into the equation... Spiffy Stan Standish picked up a devastating... career threatening... injury, and he's out... God's Gift have now officially vacated the Titles... So we have to call an audible again...” Bruce took a sip from a large bottle of what appeared to be water... It could have been something stronger... Jack Bruce: “So tonight... We have three teams left standing... Instead of a Semi Final and a Final, we're just gonna skip to the good part... So Echo and Nicky Gilbert... The Brat Pack... and The Wayne Brothers (Kal and Kian) will compete in a Triple Threat Match... The winners WILL be the new RAW Tag Team Champions!!” </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> After announcing it last week, Loxley Robbins hit the ring to answer Manhunter's Open Challenge. The former RAW Giant brought Montgomery Croft to the ring with him, and he was instrumental in keeping Manhunter focused. However, with the list of Croft's enemies mounting up, two of them arrived at ringside and caused a big disruption to the match. Rahmel Goode and Nathan McKenzie, revealed as half-brothers last week, stood at the bottom of the ramp and cracked their fists. The distraction allowed Loxley to roll Manhunter up and score a surprise three count!! 71 Winner: 'The Real Beaut' Loxley Robbins Finish: 'Roll Up' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Post-Match Fight Good guys that they are, Rahmel Goode and Nathan McKenzie allowed Montgomery Croft and Manhunter to stand in the ring together... Loxley Robbins rolled out of there... Goode and McKenzie, satisfied that their victims were 'ready', slid into the ring... The cameraman was placed behind them and the shot for the fans watching at home followed them under the ropes... Big Manhunter and Goode paired off, while McKenzie easily took Croft down with a tackle... Manhunter chopped Goode on the head so hard, that the veteran staggered backwards... Manhunter went for the clothesline over the top rope, but Goode side-stepped it, sending the Giant over the top rope onto the floor... Goode and McKenzie hit a double powerbomb on Croft, and Manhunter pulled him out under the bottom ropes!! </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> In Ring Promo Isaac and Jase Taylor came to the ring next, ahead of Jase's second match on Attitude!... Isaac Taylor: “I told Cole (Taylor) he should have joined us... Now... That opportunity has passed... But Jase 'The Ace' Taylor is going to show why it's good to be a Taylor Cousin!! Now that Cole is in our rear view... It's the I Way... Or the High Way... You're either WITH us... Or you're just in our way...” </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> w/ w/ 'The Thunderbolt Kid' Marcus Kerr w/ Matt Stoppard [vs] Jase 'The Ace' Taylor w/ Isaac Taylor Kerr put up a heck of a fight out there, but Jase Taylor is a big, powerful, man. He also has Isaac Taylor at ringside, barking instructions at him. In the end 'The Ace' put Kerr away with the 'Ace Of Spades'. 27 Winner: Jase 'The Ace' Taylor w/ Isaac Taylor Finish: 'Ace Of Spades' (Last Ride) </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Pre-Taped Video – Small Belt Manufacturer We cut to a video package now, with the camera man behind an unknown wrestler, with a slight limp, hobbling into a local Championship Belt Manufacturer... As we got to the counter, the camera panned around to reveal Swoop McCarthy!! Man Behind Counter: “G'Day Mr. McCarthy... Your Belt is ready...” Swoop McCarhty: “There it is...!! Custom made...!! That is Bloody Bonzer... I almost cracked a fat when I saw that thing...!! Can I give it a burl...??” The man behind the counter nodded, and Swoop picked up the Belt... He slung it over his shoulder... It looked a lot like the RAW TV Title, except it said the word 'REAL' across it, and had a unique colour scheme... Swoop McCarhty: “Ahhh Good onya boys... I'm in a bit of a difficult pozzy in terms of money, because I'm currently out injured... and I know we agreed a price when I ordered it... but I'd like to offer to pay you DOUBLE for this... I'm stoked!!” The man behind the counter got his manager, Swoop repeated the sentiment, and the man couldn't believe it... He thanked Swoop profusely and shook his hand... He held Swoop's hand in the handshake for a little bit too long... Enough for it to get awkward... Swoop told him to let go before he changes his mind... But why did Swoop buy his own RAW TV Title Belt...?! In two weeks time, Swoop will be BACK on RAW... and back on Attitude!... His first port of call will be to get his re-match against Blake Belushi at the Mid-Season Finale!! </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Parking Lot Back at the arena, Autumn Gleason was loading her bags into her car... When Maurice Jackson rocked up looking cocky... Maurice Jackson: “Autumn... Hey... So... Did you, umm... See the outcome of my match...??” Jackson was referring to his win over Lynx, in which he 'won' Gleason... Autumn knew exactly what he was talking about... Autumn Gleason: “Maurice... Do you know how offensive it is to have two guys fight for me like that...?? Do you not think I can decide on my own...?! The things you've done to Lynx... You didn't even give us a chance... You're a pig Maurice... A pig... and you won't be 'getting' me, just because you beat Lynx tonight...!! Goodbye!!” Heath Murdock and Horton Ravenwood walked up before Jackson could respond, and 'The King' walked off seething...!! </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Tag Team Tournament FINAL for the Vacant RAW Tag Team Titles Echo & Nicky Gilbert [vs] The Brat Pack (Darcy III & Eyre-Rochester) [vs] The Wayne Brothers (Kal & Kian Wayne) All three teams began this tournament thinking they would earn a Tag Team Title shot against God's Gift if they won it. And all three were some of the favourites to win it. After last week's travel issues, they learned that the winners of the tournament would be the new Tag Champions. Then they arrived tonight, and it's revealed that they don't have to win a Semi Final match to get to the Finals. They're IN the Finals, and it's a Triple Threat Match! The winners tonight weren't going to be the best team. Or the most deserving. It was going to be the team that reacted the best to all the moving of the goalposts that has gone on! On this night, that team were a duo that were not considered a 'team' until a couple of weeks ago. And still aren't really considered a 'team'. And that duo were Echo and Nicky Gilbert! The two men, both desperate to be RAW Quest Champion, won this match together by working together. In the end, Gilbert hit his 'Fisherman's Suplex' on Kal Wayne to become the first ever 5-time RAW Tag Team Champion!! 65 Winners: and NEW RAW Tag Team Champions: Echo & Nicky Gilbert Finish: 'Fisherman's Suplex' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Pre-Taped Sit Down Interview Marvin McKenzie (no relation) was sat with Rick Stantz, for an interview about his career so far... and what he has planned for his immediate future... He started, by talking about his former tag team partner, whom he won four RAW Tag Team Titles with, Blake Belushi... This interview took place a few hours before last week's show... So Blake was not the RAW TV Champion... Rick Stantz: “Blake is uhhh... Crikey... He's uhhh... He's a legend in his own lunchbox... Okay...? He thinks he's this all knowing... all powerful... 'specimen' of a man... He certainly thinks he's the 'Star' of the Melbourne Blondes... and to be fair to him... Since we split... Sorry, since he turned his back on me, and almost 15 years of our lives... he's come out pretty good... If he wins the RAW TV Title in that Fatal Four Way... Let's put it this way... I won't be at all surprised...!!” Stantz said he wants to be the man to stop Belushi's win streak in 2020... But he also has other plans for this Season of Attitude!... Rick Stantz: “Yu know, since he's challenging for the TV Title... Why don't I aim for that Quest Championship...?! Get me started on the path to the TV Title... Tombstone is the Quest Champion right now, and he's a dominant Champ... I believe he uhhh, has Matty Wills next week for the Title... Whoever wins that, I'm puttin' them on notice right now... I want to be next in line!!” Finally, Stantz was very opinionated and critical of Louie Louis... Claiming he doesn't take his craft 'seriously' enough... Rick Stantz: “Him and his manager, Ceri Dordevic... They decide not to show up here for two weeks... Because, why...?! They don't have a match...?? Haven't they ever heard of last minute card changes... Someone could get injured... or no show... and Jack Bruce will be scramblin' around to find someone to fill in last minute... Oh, here's Louie Louis... Let's put Louis out there in the Main Event... or for the Title... or whatever it is... I see kids show up knowing they don't have a match, and they don't bring their gear... and I just slap my forehead... But to not even show up...?! Who knows the kinds of opportunities he coulda gotten...!!” The full interview is available at http://www.rawisattitude.com... The bit about Louie Louis is very apt now, after all the changes to the card in the past two weeks... The bit about Matty Wills and Tombstone is also relevant... because their match, was on deck next... </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> A fantastic match, with a great story threaded through it. Early on in the match, Tombstone was able to gain the upper hand, when he grabbed Matty Wills and Brodie Lachlan, and slammed their heads together, causing general dizziness and severe pain for both of them. It's hard to say who came off worse of the two fan favourites, but Lachlan was on the floor for a while, with Matty's sister, and his girlfriend Rose Wills tending to his bruised head with ice wrapped in a white towel. In the ring, Wills became an easy target for Tombstone, whose win/loss record of 10 and 0 in 2020 is matched or bettered only by the TV Champion Blake Belushi! After ten gruelling minutes, Tombstone locked Wills in the 'Rear Naked Choke', and the youngster sprawled and clawed, and tried to fight Tombstone off of him. He refused to tap, and his face went a deep, dark, purple colour. It was at this point that Brodie Lachlan stood up on the apron and threw the towel in for his best friend. 67 Winner: and STILL RAW Quest Champion: 'The Skull Cracker' Tombstone Finish: Throwing In The Towel (Brodie Lachlan) </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Announce Team On Screen After a packed show, and a Main Event still to get to, Doug Vallence and Rebecca Richey appeared on our screen next... Doug Vallence: “We learned a little earlier tonight, that next week, we're going to hear from Alexander Banks...” Rebecca Richey: “It's gotta be a tough time for Banks... Losing his partner Spiffy Stan Standish like that, for well over a year... He needs to make a plan to go solo, and he needs to do it pronto...” Doug Vallence: “I agree Becca... He could always find a replacement partner... Sometimes, life seems real good... and then someone truly amazing walks into your life... and... changes everything...” Rebecca Richey: “I dunno Dougie... What would he do when Standish comes back...!? Listen... know any good restaurants in the area...?! That might have a table free as soon as we're done here...?!” Doug Vallence: “Ye... Do... D... Do... Do I knnn... Know of any... umm... That is to say uhhh... Yeah, I uhhh... I know a few... I mean... I live like, a 20 minute drive from here... so...” Rebecca Richey: “I know Dougie... That's why I asked you...” Doug Vallence: “I mean, we could just go back to mine...?!” Rebecca Richey: “Haha!! That'd be awkward wouldn't it...?! I go on a first date with a guy, and bring him back to your place... Hahaha!! Do me a favour Dougie ya little ribber...!!” Doug Vallence: “Anything... Wait a minute... first date...?!” Rebecca Richey: “YES!! Didn't I tell you...?!

He could have been forgiven for leaning on Will Beaumont, and letting his young protege do the bulk of the in-ring work, but he didn't get that option. Steele and especially Blake Belushi did a great job of cutting the ring in half and keeping the veteran Captain II on their half. As the match wore on, and the crowd became more and more restless, they got loud following a double clothesline and Captain was finally able to get the hot tag to Beaumont! He sprung into life. He took down the much bigger Steele and Belushi with ease, using his pace and momentum to hit them both hard. But it was 2 on 1, and he soon succumbed to a backbreaker by Steele when he wasn't the legal man. Captain took Steele down and out of the ring, and it lead to Belushi hitting his 'Axe Kick' on Beaumont. Belushi wins again, and moves to 14 and 0! 78 Winners: Luke Steele & Blake Belushi Finish: 'Axe Kick' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Post-Match Celebration Blake Belushi held his Championship Belt up above his head, and celebrated in the ring... Right now, things couldn't be any better for him... He's 14 and 0 in 2020, having last lost at the Season Finale in 2019... However, although he didn't show it in his celebrations, he must have one eye over his shoulder, waiting for Swoop McCarthy to return and try to take back the RAW TV Title... </div> THE SHOW IS OVER, BUT IF YOU FANCY A CATCH UP, CLICK THE LINKS BELOW The Stars Of RAW | The Champions Of RAW | Previous Episodes of RAW Attitude!

Nice to see a lot of love for Banks. Just compared their stats with the compare bit in the skill section, and Spiffy is better in every department. He also recently bulked up so his Star Quality and Sex Appeal bumped up a fair bit too! Banks has a future here for sure. He's amazing. I just need him in the tag division now as it's taken a couple of big hits lately, while my singles division is full of incredible talent. Yeah, whereas I just blatantly steal your ideas and claim them as my own If anyone hasn't checked out Ape's diary, go and find it. It's called RAW: Attitude! and it is so much fun! Thank you my friend. Really appreciate that. Also really appreciate the fact that you spelt Historian wrong Or should I say wong?!

Prediction key Who will confront Blake Belushi? Swoop!? Joe Zucco vs ??? Cole Taylor vs Thurston Darcy III I love the detectives Will Will & Momma Wayne get married? YES I think Momma Wayne and Will Will get married. Will Will come out unscathed though? Probably not. Kal and Kian are going to be there for sure! What will be the name of previously the unseen Wayne sister? (hint: Of course it will start with a K) This is amazing! There's a couple of routes I could go down here. 'Kill' would be quite funny. Rhymes with Will and starts with a K. But knowing you, it's going to be Kerri. Just Kerry with an I

We have a few small news items to get through today, and we're going to start wit the latest in a long list of Road Agent signings from SWF. 'The Shooter' Craig Prince has signed for the American company. After rising to fame in the mid 90s with NOTBPW, as well as working for CGC and TCW, Prince brings a wealth of experience and skill to SWF. Sam Keith of MAW has also joined fellow COTT company CZCW to act as a Road Agent for them.</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Australian worker Rob Edwards, currently unemployed, has taken to Twitter to explain his recent weight gain after images of him showed up looking flabby and overweight. Known for his excellent martial arts skills and for being in great shape, Edwards has put the weight gain down to being still without work. With his kickboxing background, he should really have been picked up by one of the major Australian companies by now. It's surprising that Edwards is still unemployed.</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Finally for now, news of a divorce in the world of professional wrestling. Nicky Champion and Persephone's marriage appears to be over. The couple, who have been married for almost exactly one year, have said to be at each others throats for weeks backstage at USPW. In the ring, Nicky's had a great 2020, with a record of 9 and 1 from his 10 matches so far, and he also won the USPW World Title. Persephone's current client Jacob Jett has a record of 16 and 6 in 2020, teaming mostly with Julius Moor. The pair captured the USPW Tag Team Titles in October 2019, and are now 7 months into their reign.

We had a great first night of the Tag Team Tournament, and although we had to change things last minute, everything went fine... But then two nights later at a house show, tragedy struck for poor Stan (Standish)... He came down hard on his back following a routine move, and he badly herniated a spinal disc... I can report now that he has undergone surgery... The surgery was successful, but due to complications unbeknown to the surgeon beforehand, the injury is probably going to keep Stan out for around 16 months... This is a huge blow to our plans, but my main concern is with Stan and his family right now. He can rest assured that he will still be paid, in full, during his time out hurt. And when he gets back it's time to go again...</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> What hurts us as a company, is that we were in the process of mixing up the entire Tag Team Division...

Isaac and Jase Taylor have formed a new team: The Taylor Cousins... Nathan McKenzie now has a half-brother in Rahmel Goode, and they're going to team up some... The one constant was going to be God's Gift. But with Stan's injury, it throws all of that off. I need to build up someone fast. I've also, perhaps in anger, perhaps in panic, offered a few deals out to guys that are EMPLOYED by Australian companies...</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> When I took this job, I wanted APW, DIW and ZEN to thrive underneath RAW... A thriving indie scene in Australia is great for us, and I promised myself I would avoid signing guys employed by the three of them... But with Stan's injury, I need a like-for-like who can step into his shoes. And that's why, I've offered a deal to Damian Dastardly!! ZEN would have wanted to build the roster around him, but if he accepts my offer, he'll be a high up roster member from the start... If I'm taking someone from ZEN, I thought why not offer for someone currently working in DIW...?! I've long been an admirer of Dumfrey Pinn... and hopefully I can bring the former 5-time DIW Champion in soon... I have plans for him... Finally, I looked to APW, and like the look of Chuck Everlasting... 25 years old. Good skillset. Goodlooking kid. I'll see what comes of that offer too.</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Don't expect to see any of these guys debut before the Mid-Season Finale though...

Ceri spoke with a big grin on her face... Ceri Dordevic: “Yes it's me, that's right... it's Ceri... and my client Louie... Here in Sydney...!! As you all know by now... Louie here was BORN in the Sydney Opera House... and in 2015... I placed THIRD on the Great Australian Bake Challenge!! Now... with star power like that, it's easy to see why nobody was good enough to be Louie's partner in the Tag Team Tournament... So... with that in mind... we're taking a couple of weeks off of Attitude!... We hear Manhunter is issuing an Open Challenge for next week... Wow... If anybody accepts his challenge, they are an IDIOT!!” </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Locker Room Back in the arena, we were zoomed in on someone taping their big fists up... The camera zoomed out to reveal the muscular frame of Captain Wrestling II... The camera zoomed out further, to reveal his protege Will Beaumont sat next to him doing the same thing!! Captain Wrestling II: “You ready for tonight, kid...??” Will Beaumont: “I'm ready Captain... Are you...??” Captain Wrestling II: “I'm gonna do anything and everything I want to to Kerry Wayne... The steel cage will stop him runnin'... It'll stop Kal and Kian gettin' in there and helpin' him... I can take my time, and DESTROY him... As for you Will... I want you to go into tonight's match... Absolutely the underdog... But I want you to win it... for the 'good guys'... So... no matter what happens in my Cage Match... I'm asking that you DON'T come to the ring... Save your energy...

The pace was fast and exciting, much to Raymond Royce's dismay. He tried to slow his boys down, but the two high-flying LiberTeen boys continued to do whatever they wanted. Tye is an innovative worker, and his double springboard plancha to the outside would have been great if hadn't landed on Frankie as well as Thurston Darcy III! Tye rolled back in under the bottom rope, and Artemis hit the 'Brat Packer' to score the win, and put The Brat Pack into the Semi Finals! 58 Winners: The Brat Pack (Thurston Darcy III & Artemis Eyre-Rochester) Finish: 'Brat Packer' (Back Stabber) </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Post-Match Celebration The Brat Pack were through, and the fan favourites couldn't contain their delight at the victory... They asked for microphones... Thurston Darcy III: “YES!! For it is I... Thurston Darcy... THE THIRD... me and my best bud Artemis Eyre-Rochester here are through to the Semi... and now we've both got a...” They pointed at their crotches... Artemis Eyre-Rochester: “ANOTHER Match...!! That's right... Next week, the Semi Finals... Win that, and we'll have ANOTHER Match... on the same night... The Finals...” Thurston Darcy III: “Hey Artemis...

Rod Sullivan: “You ready for this opportunity Joe...??” Joe Zucco: “Sull-O... I was BORN ready for an opportunity like this... I've worked for RAW for FIVE years... at one point, I was convinced that management had forgotten I still worked here... But I'm STILL here, damn it all... Still chasing that elusive first Championship in wrestling... and tonight...

They're former 3-time RAW Tag Team Champions and they've been in great form of late. They overlooked The Wayne Brothers in this match though, perhaps having one eye on the Semi Finals. Kal cheated as much as he could, allowing Kian to hit the 'Shoulderbreaker' on Horton! Party Central are out! 53 Winners: The Wayne Brothers (Kal & Kian Wayne) Finish: 'Shoulderbreaker' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Goldcoast Gym Matty Wills, Brodie Lachlan, and Rose Wills were working out in a gym... Matty has a huge match for the RAW Quest Title next week... Brodie Lachlan: “Come on Matty... Work harder, man!! You need to make sure you're ready... Tombstone will KILL you otherwise...!!” Matty was exhausted, and asked Brodie to hand him his drink... Brodie turned and looked down at the bottle... It was next to a white towel, just like the one Brodie had thrown in for Matty when he got a very nasty cut courtesy of Frankie LiberTeen... Brodie paused, then picked up the bottle and the towel...!! Matty was upset that his best friend, and sister's boyfriend would grab the towel... Brodie Lachlan: “I'm bringing this to next week though Matty... You...

'Mr. Australia' was scared of the giant steel structure, and paced around the ring a few times. In the end, he made Captain Wrestling II turn his back before he would consider getting in. The Captain stood in the opposite corner to the door, back turned, and Kerry pounced. He grabbed a steel chair from under the ring, and slid into the cage!! He popped up behind Captain, but the veteran grabbed the chair and stopped the chair shot to his own face! The fight was on, and Captain Wrestling II was desperate to get revenge for Kerry turning on him several weeks ago. He slammed Kerry into the cage multiple times, and had a counter for just about everything. Even when Kerry went for the 'Fingernail Of Doom' eye poke with his one sharp fingernail, Captain grabbed his finger, and snapped it backwards (think Pete Dunne)! Kerry was out of ideas, and he called for help from the back! Kal and Kian Wayne came staggering out, having just competed in a match themselves. The 'Evil' Brothers of Kerry began scaling the cage on the wall opposite the ramp, but Captain grabbed the steel chair, and took care of some more fingers with a brutal shot to the cage wall!! Kal and Kian screamed in pain, and regrouped on the ramp. They went around the ring, and to opposite sides, thinking this would give them a better chance of one of them getting into the cage. It worked to a degree, but Captain still took them both down with chair shots to the fingers!! However, this allowed Kerry to gain some much needed rest. He exploded into life and suddenly Kerry was in control. Kal and Kian decided to stay outside the cage and lick their wounds. So they could only watch as Captain Wrestling II countered a reverse suplex attempt, and hit the 'Australian Slam'!! 73 Winner: Captain Wrestling II Finish: 'Australian Slam' (Olympic Slam) </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Specially Designed Set on the Stage Maurice Jackson strolled out onto the stage next, walking past the victorious Captain Wrestling II like he wasn't even there... It was time for 'An Audience With The King'... Maurice Jackson: “Yeah yeah yeah... SAVE your applause... I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire!! Normally, I would bring a guest out here... and maybe do an interview... But I have a LOT on my mind... So... I'm just going to spill my thoughts now... LYNX... Attacking me in a BAR... and then getting all your little buddies to c...” Before Jackson could finish, he was interrupted by the music of Loxley Robbins!! Maurice Jackson had his guest...!! Loxley Robbins: “Hey Jackson!! As an impartial witness... I was THERE... Why don't you let me tell everybody what actually happened...? Autumn was havin' a party with her friends, and Lynx... The MAN she chose to come with her... You showed up... You started causing trouble... and you shoved Lynx over a damn bar stool!!” Maurice Jackson: “Man...? You're sticking with the word 'Man' for Lynx, right...?! He calls himself the 'Pretty Boy'!! That's exactly what he is!! He's a BOY... I'M a MAN... I'm 'The King' of RAW... Buuuut... Since you're out here... talkin' about shoves over stools...” Jackson leant forward and shoved Loxley, sending him flying over a stool!! He had a soft landing, on Jackson's signature lay-z-boy chair... Jackson ran off, but Loxley wasn't finished... Loxley Robbins: “Yu know what Jackson, ya little p***y...?? I would whip your arse all over this arena if you'd stayed out here... I'd do it next week too, but you have a match with Lynx... Meanwhile I... am officially ACCEPTING the Open Challenge from Manhunter!!” Huge news from Loxley... He'll be taking on Manhunter 1 on 1 next week!! Lynx and Jackson will indeed meet in the ring too... The winner of that match gets Autumn Gleason...

Standish was on fire though, and he started kicking everything that moved, and regained control for the RAW Tag Champs. In the end Zucco and Sullivan argued, to the point that 'The Z-Man' hit his own partner, knocking him off the apron, and then walked onto a Super Kick! 61 Winners: and STILL RAW Tag Team Champions: God's Gift (Alexander Banks & Spiffy Stan Standish) Finish: 'Super Kick' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Sat In The Crowd As God's Gift celebrated their successful Title defence, you could tell they were not happy with Jack Bruce's decision to add them into the Tournament, and have them defend their Titles all the way through!! But they were getting on with their job... The camera panned to a familiar face sat in the crowd... wearing a baseball cap... The man stood up... It was Swoop f*****g McCarthy!! Sat front row, watching the action... There was a weird moment in the previous match when the crowd went crazy and started chanting for him... Now we know why... Swoop was here, and he was here to watch who takes the RAW TV Title... He'll be coming back soon, and he's going to want that Title back... All we had to do now, was bring out the four competitors... Will Beaumont, the Captain of the Golden Egg Hunt Team that won the entire thing... He would ordinarily get to choose which Title Shot each of his team members got... But Jack Bruce took control of a difficult situation, due to the injury and subsequent vacating of the TV Title, by Swoop McCarthy... Beaumont got a great reaction as he headed to the ring... He gave Swoop a little wink as he passed him!! If Beaumont wins tonight, he'll be the youngest RAW TV Champion in history!! Frogue Element was out next... Not a member of the Golden Egg Hunt winning team... Apart from Swoop, Frogue is the most recent TV Champion, and he was actually in the match with Swoop that took the Champion out due to injury... He ignored Swoop as he passed him... Blake Belushi did the same, he was out next... Along with Luke Steele who came out last... Belushi and Steele were both part of Beaumont's Egg Hunt winning team... When Steele got to Swoop, the two big men shouted abuse at each other, but McCarthy just laughed when Steele walked away... The match was on... </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> An amazing way to end Night One of the Tag Tournament. Four of the most talented workers in RAW doing battle, for the vacant TV Title. They all knew that no matter what, there would be a new Champion tonight. So why not them? Beaumont was always in the match, but Steele made it his mission to thwart any and every attempt he took to win the match. Right up until Beaumont finally put Steele down in a moment of defiance after weeks of 'bullying' from the big 286lber. He hit his 'Rocker Dropper' finisher – an arm-hook fame-asser. He hit it on the stage, and Steele's face smashed off the metal floor. He was out. Perhaps for the rest of the night. Beaumont let out a rebel yell a few times, as he crawled away from Steele on his back. It was clear that Beaumont had hurt his own back landing on the stage in the move. But it was worth it to get revenge on Steele. In the ring, Belushi and Frogue were brawling. The crowd didn't boo either of them, they just enjoyed watching the fight. But when Beaumont got back ot the ring, the roof nearly came off the building! Just like his mentor Captain Wrestling II, Beaumont began chopping his opponents. Belushi and Frogue both dropped to the floor following the final chops, and both were in a lot of pain. Blake's chest has never been so red. Will fired up, and the crowd came with him. They were ready to see him win the big one, but unfortunately for him, Belushi was also ready to finally be a TV Champion. After winning the RAW Tag Team Titles on four occasions, Belushi turned on his partner Rick Stantz over 2 years ago, and he's had a great run trying to become TV Champ. This year though, 'Beautiful' Blake has had a run of 12 wins in 12 matches, in just 14 weeks in 2020 so far. Going for his 13th straight win (unlucky for some) tonight, he wasn't going to let a kid like Beaumont get in his way. Frogue Element provided a different problem for Blake though. As a former RAW TV Champion, Frogue has pedigree at this level, and he also kicked out of the 'Axe Kick' from Belushi late on! Belushi couldn't believe it, but Beaumont came back into it straight after that. 'Sensational' Will Beaumont took Belushi to the outside of the ring, and they fought all around ringside. At this point, Luke Steele got back up, and he ran down the ramp, delivering a shoulder tackle to Beaumont! He then slid into the ring, and put Frogue down with the 'Steele Crusher' shoulder piledriver. But Belushi was behind him when he went for the pin, and Belushi threw Steele out of the ring! Belushi waited for Frogue to get up, which he did slowly. He hit his 'Axe Kick' and fell into the cover. Beaumont was so close to breaking it up but he couldn't. And we had a NEW RAW TV Champion!! 80 Winner: and NEW RAW TV Champion... 'Beautiful' Blake Belushi Finish: 'Axe Kick' </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #cccccc; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Post-Match Celebration To Close The Show Blake Belushi was handed the RAW TV Title Belt by Tony Thorpe (the referee), and he gripped it tightly with both hands and slumped to his knees... Parts of the crowd actually cheered the former Melbourne Blonde... The camera panned around to where Swoop McCarthy was sat, to get his reaction... But he had already left!! At what point in the match did Swoop leave the arena? Nobody could say... But to Blake Belushi, it was completely irrelevant... One day, Belushi will have to fight Swoop for the Title... He's been promised the chance to fight for his sixth TV Title, so Belushi has a date with destiny... But for now, he could savour the moment and enjoy being Champion... </div> THE SHOW IS OVER, BUT IF YOU FANCY A CATCH UP, CLICK THE LINKS BELOW The Stars Of RAW | The Champions Of RAW | Previous Episodes of RAW Attitude!

Ali shocked me!! As you said, November probably made more sense, in a 1 on 1 match... So this was a great twist that I doubt many people saw coming

Surfer Dude Lucas' real name is Luke Pope, and Tazz is just short for Tasmen. I thought it was a cool little call-back to D'Angelo Dinero and Taz in TNA Especially since Pope replaced Taz on the commentary desk.

Not at all. I think there'll be plenty of people keen to make rerenders for you. I just meant that you might have more success in the alt thread, as the render thread isn't open to requests for renders and the alt thread is pretty much exclusively requests. What did you think of the cyclops?

You might find a bit more joy on the alt thread. But here's a quick attempt at a cyclops If you find something on another background, there are ways to put a blue background on them. Again, the alt thread is a good place to ask for something like that
