Another solid show and it really didn't seem like you were missing the TCW talent too much. The show flowed nicely. Already adjusting well to the forced changes. Good stuff, friend.

April 2020 - #11 - Evolved! recap, roster review and Americana preview I'll be the first to admit that MAW Evolved! even took me by surprise by how well it went. So to tail off my last entry, I closed by saying that we had to make MAW Evolved! worthwhile, especially for local fans if we're expecting them to pay twice a month to come and see our shows. We also needed a hook to make sure we had something to entice WrestleWorld subscribers since that would be their first opportunity to see what we could do! Suffice to say, I think we delivered! Chris Caulfield, in my opinion, will go down as one of the most underrated and, arguably, under-appreciated wrestlers in recent history. He was never an excellent performer from a pure wrestling skill perspective but the man knows how to work a crowd and has a better grasp of ring psychology than many pros still working in the big leagues. This was his first in-ring outing since his retirement last February and he delivered. The open challenge was originally going to be accepted by Bradley but Jay threw out the idea of maybe bringing Chris into the fold. It came down to the wire and we officially hashed out a deal of some sort and he arrived here on short notice and did a hell of a job working with Tennessee William. Tennessee? What can I say? The kid has, technically, lost every match he's had so far and is one of the biggest stars we have. He more than delivered on his side of the match. The rest of the show was very strong up and down the card with a few exceptions, of course. One of the obvious changes we've made is the guys getting some promo time. We still primarily tell our story in the ring, as we always have, but promos are a still an important part of the business, especially when it's a show that's now being broadcast to an audience. We know that anyone who tunes in is, more often than not, going to be acquired to the 'Sports Entertainment' way of business which is promo heavy so we figured we'd ease their transition by making sure that they still get to hear guys talk. The debut of Big Richard was, to put it delicately, disastrous. Was that too delicate? Maybe it was putting him with Joey Fili (who's still as green as grass) to see if there was something there or maybe it was debut nerves? I'm not sure but that botch on the turnbuckle was pretty gnarly to watch and it's a miracle that Noggin didn't end up seriously more hurt. Further to the botch, the performance wasn't great but I expected that. I didn't, however, expect the guy to be unsafe. A lot of work to do there. The rest of the card and matches told their stories themselves with how we're moving forward and have helped build-up Americana quite nicely, I believe. SO let us run down the card and see what we're looking at. American Made vs The Heartbreak Express w/ Lisa Bowen Jack America & Kip Keenan impressed in Keenan's debut in MAW and have now named themselves. They'll be looking to build on the momentum created after their win over The Greatness. The Heartbreak Express are 1-1 in Tag team action this year and Needham is fresh off a singles win over Jonah Pilgrim. Should be a good opener! Jaylon Martins © vs Davis Wayne Newton (Mid Atlantic American Championship) Martins has only suffered one loss, during a six-man tag, since becoming champion in November but DWN has been less than impressed with the manner of his victories - unbefitting of a champion. DWN has made his presence felt in MAW since his debut and pinned Martins in that six-man tag to stake his claim for a title shot. Joey Fili vs Deuce Deadline Fili is 0-3 in a MAW ring this year but he has had some ring time, at least. Deuce is a former Mid Atlantic American champion but hasn't featured this year yet so could be suffering from ring rust. The Latino Kings vs The Greatness w/ Haley Buck The Latino Kings have brought a new level of excitement to MAW since their debut and are absolutely here for tag-team gold so defeating former champions here would serve them well. The Greatness were a well-oiled tag-team machine for the longest time, having recently held tag team gold for seven months but have recently been having issues. Can they regain their focus and return to the state their name suggests? Josh Jacobs vs Miller Fforde A grudge match to put this rivalry to bed once and for all. Jacobs cost Fforde his world title at Where It All Begins Again. The feud rolled on and the two met at The Wrestling Classic where Jacobs won with a handful of tights that the referee missed. It seemed no matter what happened these two would keep crossing paths and Jacobs wants it done with. Fforde will be looking to exact revenge for... well, everything. DeMarcus & Gray © vs The Past Masters (Mid Atlantic Tag Team Championship) In the last two months, DeMarcus & Gray have retained their tag titles vs The Scheme and either side of that victory were singles losses to The Historian and Sandman Winks. These two losses have more than provided enough credibility to The Past Masters expectation of a title opportunity, even if their wins weren't the cleanest. Bradley Blaze vs ??? (Special Exhibition Bout - Champion vs Champion) Blaze has had a strong run as champion in MAW so far, compounded by his impressive defence vs Cheetah Boy at The Wrestling Classic. He recently seems to have got himself distracted with the ongoing of Tennessee William who has been a thorn in everyone's side of late, it seems. This special match will Blaze take on one of the primary champions of a company within the alliance. Can Blaze focus his attention enough to defend the honour of MAW? Ernest Youngman vs Pablo Rodriguez (COTT World Heavyweight Championship - with a special guest ringside enforcer) Ernest has been on a blistering babyface run since debuting in MAW. Victory in the fifteenth Rip Chord Invitational set him on the right path and he's been embroiled in a feud with Tennessee William ever since that has been intense and fiery. Victory last month at Super Showdown earned him this opportunity vs Rodriguez. Rodriguez's last appearance in MAW was at the Rip Chord Invitational in which he defeated Bradley Blaze in a special exhibition bout after interference from Cheetah Boy. Pablo has been an excellent COTT champion with 9 successful defences since August 2019. Can he add one more to the list? Due to the importance of the bout and the likelihood of the bout being marred by outside interference with Tennessee William about, this has resulted in an unnamed special enforcer to be ringside to ensure the match goes ahead without incident. Personally, I believe we've put together an exciting card for the show with the opportunity for surprise and intrigue. Three title matches is the icing on a solid card cake. It's our second show on WrestleWorld and we want to keep the audience coming back for more. Let's see what happens...

Noggin struggled through the rest of the match clutching his back but Tokoeka picked up the slack.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - A heel comeback was completed with Tokoeka delivering a huge Brainbuster Suplex to Fili and securing the pinfall</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>The Wolf Pack def.

This match was simply two big athletic studs looking to outdo the other.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Naturally, with their partners at ringside, shenanigans ensued. DeMarcus was flung threw the ropes as The Historian considered getting in some cheap shots. He restrained himself but Tyrone Gray didn't hold back and hopped up to the ring before throwing himself off with a flying knee. In the process of trying to catch The Historian, he also took out his partner as DeMarcus was forced into the barricade.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> - Sandman saw this and hopped on the opportunity. Quickly throwing DeMarcus back into the ring, he snatched on the Sleeper Hold and quickly locked it in deep as DeMarcus' hands fell to the mat three times and Jay Fair called for the bell.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Sandman Winks def.

Whitehead was accompanied by the woman he escorted backstage at Super Showdown, Haley Buck.

Daaaaaamn! That's a hell of a way to have to switch up the save. Keen to see how things develop from here. MAW always recovers!

April 2020 - #10 - Meeting the new TCW Dojo Graduates and a MAW Evolved preview! It was a week before Super Showdown when I received the inevitable phone call from TCW headquarters to negotiate what would be happening with their Dojo graduates. Now, I knew Kyle well and he was always a good guy but since he took the role of CEO of TCW almost 5 years ago, he wasn't as chatty as usual. Very efficient in the w1ays that he conducted himself. Not rude. Not unkind. Just efficient and swift in business so the phone call wasn't any longer than a minute really. "Sam. It's Kyle. Listen up. I can only guess you were expecting this phone call so here's the situation. We've got 7 guys who we're looking to send down. Now, I know, it sounds like a lot. You don't need to take them all but you're at least gonna meet them all. Talk to them. Vet them. Figure out if you can make them work and then decide who you're taking. As agreed, you make the call of who makes the cut and who doesn't but I'll make a suggestion and say five out of the seven is fair." "Five? Look, I'll see what happens, Kyle, but I've already got six of your guys. Another five means you're basically a third of my roster..." "It's great, right? Look, we both knew this was gonna be the situation when you struck the deal. Just do your best. You are the best, Sam, so that should be easy, right? *Laughs* You've always worked wonders down there, you'll continue to figure it out. Just meet the guys and see what you think, right? Speak to you soon." So the following day all seven of the kids flew down here and arrived at the offices. The first thing we did was immediately take them down to our nearby warehouse that's set up with a ring and gym so we can see what they've got. Traditionally, that process would involve Jay, Marvin and I. This time there was an added special guest to test the nerves of the kids. I invited Ricky to join us. With him now working so closely with us and having spent twenty-one years at TCW, he knows what they'll be looking for in how they want to talent to develop. After spending time in the gym and in the ring showing what they'd learned at the TCW School of Pro Wrestling, Jay and I met them individually. It might not seem especially fair to just give the kids a day, or closer to like eight hours for the process, but it's simply business. So after discussions with the team, I spoke to the two kids who weren't making the cut here and sent them back to TCW for them to decide their future. Here's the five we're keeping though. Big Richard - Real name Richard Leon this 6'10 big guy is the oldest of the bunch at 24 years old. He's quite charismatic and can cut a pretty good promo for a rookie. His in-ring skills aren't brilliant but there's something there we can work with. Bobby Barnett - Easily the toughest and most resilient of the kids and he's only 18 years old. Solid in the ring but has a lot to learn with regards to psychology. He doesn't look like a star but he has the ability to do well for himself. Carlos Randleman - 6'4 of solid muscle. The kid looks like a killer and will be well-suited to the typical 'badass' role. One slight flaw is that I'm not entirely convinced he has the ideal mentality for the business and the set-backs that inevitably come your way but we'll work with him on that. Milton Monk - Similar to Randleman. 6'4 and the kid is a physical specimen. Cuts a good promo with the microphone in his hands and is easily the best from a physical standpoint of the graduates. He also has more menace about him than Randleman. Once his in-ring skills are brought up to scratch and he's taught about the psychology (Because that is severely lacking) the kid is gonna be big news in the business because he has everything else going for him. Maybe I'll team them up? Terry Ambrose - Probably the most average of the dojo kids. Doesn't stand out in anything but isn't the worst at anything either. Considers himself a high-flyer which sets him apart from the others. We'll see what his future holds. That covers the 5 graduates. The two we turned down were Tony Regal and Reginald Boone. Regal wasn't anything special and I didn't see him doing much here. Boone was a decent kid, OK in the ring but an absolute charisma vacuum. So we sent them back to TCW but within days, Boone apparently pissed off Kyle to the extent that he was shown the door. Now, we move on to our first edition of MAW Evolved! Naturally, it isn't going to have the same importance as our established monthly events, certainly in the beginning, but it has the honour of being the first-ever show we present on WrestleWorld that people can stream and it's going to spotlight our talent and build stories. Better make it worthwhile, huh? Here's the card.

April 2020 - #9 - Super Showdown and March recap Well, I can honestly say that the main event was one of the most hotly, fiercely contested in recent memory for MAW. For two guys who weren't part of the company until the beginning of the year, they've certainly made their presence felt in Baltimore among the MAW faithful. Performances like that will hopefully only spur on the rest of the talent to match and better it. In my opinion, and that is one that's shared by Jay, Marvin and Ricky, it's an exciting time to be a fan of the MAW product and a member of the MAW roster. We've got a lot of talented kids here who are ready-made stars for the big time, some who are stepping up to the carry the company and a whole host of hungry, young talent ready to make a name for themselves. With our second monthly show beginning this month, it's providing even more opportunity and competition to get time in the ring and on the microphone. This urgency has only been intensified by a deal we've struck with WrestleWorld. My knowledge of technology is limited. I'm a bit of a dinosaur with regards to that but I believe that opinion is split on the service. Some sing it's praises. Some believe it's the 'Death of Independent Wrestling'. I can see the reasoning for both arguments as fans of promotions almost don't want to give the talent more exposure incase they get signed away. I understand that but, as far as I'm concerned, that's the game we're in. We're Independents. Our job is to help build guys up to push them to the big leagues and a lot of the other companies agree with me as 9 companies, including MAW, struck deals with the service. Overnight we'll be going from having our shows only shown in the Baltimore area by those who attend live to available to view in every home in North America, should they use the service. That's huge. Now, to recap the month of March and Super Showdown. Another $8,000 made this month as we continue to build a decent chest of money for the first time in what feels like forever. This business isn't about the money for me but every company needs money to survive and operate. At the moment, we're looking at being around for a long time if this keeps up. All the boys behaved backstage at the last event with no more 'Wrestlers Court' punishments being dealt out by Sheriff Johnson. The night itself was a very positive one. Obviously, the main event carried the show and it's easy to say how excellent the show was with that fresh in our minds but across the card, the boys did well. Youngman prevailing in the main event will place him in a match for the COTT World Title at MAW Americana. DWN pinning Martins in the 6 man looks to entitle him to an opportunity to challenge for the title which gives that belt a purpose for now. The tag title match was a decent affair, marred by an injury to The Architect. An atomic drop spot went slightly wrong resulting in a cracked tail bone for our Architect but the match carried on and there was no heat resulting from the incident. An honest mistake and everyone shook hands and moved on. Good to see the boys are maintaining maturity. Seth Whitehead now has a story to tell and a purpose with how his involvement in the tag match vs The Heartbreak Express played out. The woman at ringside has been a talent on and off the independents for a number of years now and will play into the future of Whitehead's character and she'll be officially announced as part of the roster at next month's show once she's properly introduced. Jack American spoke of bringing in a partner to aid him in future and he's a talent who will appear at MAW Evolved. Again, we're not going to announce yet. He isn't well known at all really except in Puerto Rico, primarily, but he's an elite talent who should be further in his career than he is. He'll fit in well here. Rudy Velasquez won at Super Showdown to continue to build the momentum of The Latino Kings and they'll feature in the tag title scene very soon which will continue to help build that division which is starting to look very promising indeed with the talent involved. After all that we also finally had the influx of new TCW dojo graduates that'll be plying their trade here in MAW. Initially, Kyle called me up and wanted me to take on 7 graduates. I looked them over, vetted them, talked to them and we agreed to take on 5 of them. Even 5 seemed excessive, initially, I'm not sure they're all gonna be cut out for the business but they're hungry, determined and have youth on their side so they'll get a chance but I'll cover that whole discussion in the next entry and we'll meet the 5 new additions to the MAW roster.

B.P.A. vs Needham & Lionhearts Dreadnought vs War Piece Harvey Robbinfield vs Joe-man Reigns Corn on the Job vs The Sound Investment Bradley Blaze vs Paris Burnett Tully & Elwes vs The Wolf Pack Rock City Stars vs The Past Masters Ho Tinh vs Lug Phelan Kid Fantastic vs Nobuyo Hikichi It's a mid-month show so really anything could happen so let the picks be wild and see what comes of it.

Super Showdown Live from Stanley Hall, Baltimore, Maryland Attendance; 214 Main Show Segment 1; W/ W/ Rudy Velasquez w/Hector Galindo vs Sione Tokoeka w/Sean Noggin (20-minute time limit) - Another good opener to the show with this singles match-up following up on the tag contest these 4 had last month. - The Wolf Pack are a young, fierce duo and Sione understands what it takes to match up with a guy like Velasquez. - Some outside interference from Noggin threatened to taint this match but Galindo engaged in a brawl which involved both men being ejected. - Tokoeka tried reasoning with the ref but Velasquez pounced, landing a Street Cutter and picking up the 1-2-3. Rudy Velasquez def. Sione Tokoeka in 11:25 via pinfalll (32/E+) Segment 2; The Heartbreak Express w/Lisa Bowen vs The Greatness (20-minute time limit) - The Heartbreak Express were looking to bounce back from last months loss to The Scheme. Whitehead was in a determined mood after his disappointing run at the RCI. - A classic heel vs face tag team affair with an edge to it. Whitehead seemed more vicious than usual. More determined During a series of shots in the corner to Liotta, he kept boasting 'I'm TCW! I'm a TCW guy!'. - A hot tag ensued that allowed Needham to fire up and rally a comeback. And comeback they did indeed. As Whitehead was tossed to the outside he ended up being distracted by a woman at the barricade. This allowed The Heartbreak Express to hit The Score on Robbinfield and secure the win. The Heartbreak Express def. The Greatness in 12:15 via pinfall (28/E) POST MATCH - Whitehead aids the girl over the barricade and they walk backstage together as Robbinfield looks lost and confused in the ring. (35/E+) Segment 3; Joey Fili vs Ade Nelson (20-minute time limit) - This is Nelson's first appearance for MAW this year and he'll be looking to add more hurt to Fili after his loss last month. - Not a great match. Barely a good match but both kids gave as good as they got. A series of pinfalls went the way of Nelson as he managed to hook a foot on the ropes for leverage without the ref seeing. Ade Nelson def. Joey Fili in 8:08 via pinfall (16/F+) Segment 4; DeMarcus & Gray vs The Scheme (Mid Atlantic Tag Title match - 30-minute time limit) - This match got the crowd fired back up again and was a decent affair. - The Scheme were working as a well oiled machine with some solid teamwork. The same can't be said for the champions who were out of sync. - Towards the latter end of the match, DeMarcus delivered an atomic drop to The Architect that did serious damage as he rolled to the outside. This left The Pilgrim in some trouble. - The Pilgrim remained wily though and baited Gray into a clothesline that connected with DaMarcus. DaMarcus didn't look best pleased. The distraction was minimal, however, as the champs refocused their attention and put away The Pilgrim with a Rocket Launcher to make their second defence of their titles. DeMarcus & Gray def. The Scheme in 11:46 via pinfall and retain the Mid Atlantic Tag Titles (29/E+) Segment 5; Jack America vs Cheetah Boy (20-minute time limit) - Cheetah Boy had some work to do to regain some credibility after his failed title venture at Bradley Blaze. He saw an easy victory here in America. - How wrong he was, though. Despite America having lost his first 2 matches, he remained determined to prove he belonged in MAW and gave the veteran some serious trouble. - An attempted Olympic Slam was reversed into a sunset flip pin attempt that caught the youngster off guard and secured the win for the former World Champion.

William once again took down Youngman and locked in a Figure Four leglock to the already hurt legs of Youngman. He screamed wildly in pain but managed to flip over the southerner to put the pressure on him. - William reached the ropes as the ref broke it up. Youngman was gingerly up to his feet first, though, dropkicked the knees of William putting him back to the ground and rallied himself and the crowd up as he slapped on a sharpshooter.

He reached the ropes but Youngman mustered all the strength he could to pull William away and apply more pressure to the hold in the centre of the ring. Eventually, Tennessee William had no option but to submit. Ernest Youngman def. Tennessee William in 20:01 via submission (50/D+) POST MATCH - The crowd are in raptures at Youngman's victory as Sam Keith walks to the ring to congratulate Youngman and officially announce his challenge for COTT World Title.

Embrace the heat: Sgt. Slaughter has to either beat Hogan at Mania VII or be WWF champion by Summerslam. Don't FIGHT FOREVER!: Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels can't be participants in the same match until after Mania VIII. The only exception is the Royal Rumble. We've enough Flair here: Flair is going to be a WCW lifer. If his contract comes up, you're not bidding for him. If he somehow becomes a free agent, then he's fair game. Long Overdue: It became commonplace in recent WWE that the Rumble winner got a title shot at Mania. Jim Duggan, first Rumble winner, never got his. Build up Hacksaw enough that he main events a PPV in a WWF title match. Odd one out: Mr. Perfect, Owen Hart, Jake Roberts. One can win as many titles as your heart desires through their career. One can never win the World Title. One can never win any title. Choose. Have it your way then: Sami chose his own personal welfare over what was best for Vince's company. As long as Vince is alive, Sami Zayn is never winning another title. One last chance: Finally, it seems like the creative team are ready! They've started and stopped for a decade but now is the time... finally! Dolph Ziggler is winning the World title and holding it for at least 6 months! WE MAKE OUR OWN STARS DAMMIT!: No bidding for AEW stars when their contract comes up except for Jericho. You need him for the Hall Of Fame! For old time's sakes!: Before Mania 37, or at Mania 37, Cena and Orton must main event one of your big 4 PPV's. The choice is yours! Break the record!: Before his retirement, Cena will become a 17-time world champion. They're gone, that's it!: Any of the talents recently released by WWE in the Covid-19 cuts are staying released. No re-hiring.

Afternoon, strangers. I've been hit and miss on the forums lately after a series of life events. Hospital appointments for heart-related stuff (I'm all good!), family things and just general Covid-19 blues. Being furloughed from 2 jobs gives a lot of time off but sucks at the same time. Everyone is in similar boats though, so no pity parties. So, after a month off of the diary with minimal involvement in playing TEW, I'm pleased to say I'm back and the MAW Super Showdown results will be posted later this evening. Hopefully, the followers I had are not lost and will return and maybe some new ones will be gained. Despite my limited involvement on the boards of late, I've been keeping tabs on the dynasty's and everyone is doing an exceptional job. I've especially got a way to go to compete with Tryker2710's exceptional MAW Diary. As I say, Super Showdown will follow soon.

Honestly, I'm picturing like a cease and desist letter from AEW like "Here, if you work for us, tell us. If you don't, how is your shit so good. You're making us look bad. Stop!" It's a shame it's so shortlived but the graphical work and writing was immense, dude. Sorry you had to stop.

Four nights earlier, they held a PPV in front of 30,000.

The search tool has proven less than successful in locating rerenders of certain PGHW talents for going back in time. I'm dabbling with the 05' CV mod. Does anyone have or know of where I'd find rerenders of; Lee Wright Mito Miwa Nobuatsu Tatsuko Shuji Inukai I have Tatsuko and Inukai in modern-day, retired, suit-wearing fashion but does anyone have something I could use for them back in their in-ring pomp? Thanks.

If you click on a previous match held in the show history screen you'll obviously get the result of the match, how long it took and the performance rating of those who took part. But I don't believe you can specifically find out who pinned/submitted who or that sort of thing.
