The perfect punishment for being a backstage douche...a clown gimmick!

Twelfth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year in the 21st century. Or is it thirteenth? Who gives a f---, Math was always my worst subject. Everything was coming up roses for the Smacker. We were booked to win a tag team battle royal at Christmas Clash, for the right to face the reigning champs, boring and mechanical Dean "American Machine" Ansell and the biggest linebacker bust since Brian Bosworth, another illiterative oaf named Des Davids. They called themselves The All-Americans? Talk about a boring name. I asked Peter if we could call ourselves Scott Mustafa and Khalid Abdul-Laramee or somethin' to get more heat, but he was blunt with his rejection - this isn't the '80s anymore, so no more Americans masquerading as evil foreigners. Anyway, where was I? We were supposed to win that battle royal and win the belts from Ansell and Davids in January, at When Hell Freezes Over. I stopped believin' in Santa Claus years ago, but judging by the gifts Peter Michaels and Richard Eisen had for us, maybe he did exist after all.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS';"> That day, we were in New York preparing for Christmas Clash when I got a text from the big boss, Richard Eisen.

Of course he would - he liked his musclebound warriors as much as he liked his dates to be younger than his sons Eric and Jerry.

They actually do work. Especially like the Mikey James sea urchin render. Many thanks!

^Yup, I was hoping the whole secret admirer thing would lead to a Natalya heel turn (and the end of that gimmick she has with Khali and Hornswoggle), but I guess I should have seen it coming - it's a ruse all along, and AJ's behind it. Bummer as well that Fandango got injured ahead of what many were predicting as an Intercontinental win for the former Johnny Curtis.

<p>Simply...awesome. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Haven't had time to check out as many diaries as I used to, and I've just gotten caught up.

Keep up the good work!</p>

Awesome. Thanks, man! The afro version bodes well for a future team-up with Fro Sure, but for the coming months, I'll go with the short-haired KP.

Any way I can get a shorter-haired version of KP Avatar? As part of the backstage and non-wrestling goings-on in my diary, he'll be starring in a direct-to-video period piece, and I'm hoping for something that will make him look like your average (albeit over-aged) African-American high school kid from the '60s.

Might as well post the preview for the second arc of KP Avatar's story, which will begin in-game June 2013. That should be up before the end of April. SWF: Sunday Nights Counting Lights - The Continuing Saga of KP Avatar http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DawntheCheerleaderalt.jpg "KP's different from other men I've dated. I may have grown up quite sheltered and privileged, but KP's working-class background, down-to-earth, positive outlook on life and friendly, outgoing nature endeared me to him. He's like a younger brother, best friend and boyfriend all rolled into one. Sure beats dating yet another airheaded male model or dirty old businessman old enough to be my dad. WOOOOOOOO!!!! GO KP!!!!!!" - Dawn the Cheerleader, KP's girlfriend/The Awesomeness manager/Uprising announcer/backstage interviewer http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/CharlesAvatar.jpg "Couldn't be happier to have that little rascal as my brother. If not for KP, I'd have no reason on Earth to watch Uprising. I'm proud of you, bro! Keep counting 'em lights and reachin' for the stars!" - Charles Avatar, KP's brother/former TCW and USPW enhancement talent http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AshCampbellalt_zpsada67e04.jpg "Apart from Cam, who's been playing drums since his teens, and KP, who sang in the church choir and played rhythm guitar for a Rage Against the Machine cover band in high school, there is no talent in the Psychedelic Garage Jobbers. No talent whatsoever. Hey, Josh...you know I was just kidding about Tracy...she's getting back in the groove...Josh? Don't Butterfly Lock me now...NOOOOO!!!! (taps out)" - Ash "Asher Ginsberg" Campbell, Psychedelic Garage Jobbers bassist/SWF Superstar http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_alt.jpg "A good man. He and his brother are Nicky Champion guys." - Nicky Champion, SWF Superstar http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RobbieRetroalt_zps39c5610d.jpg "It was KP's idea that I wear that 'PUSH ME' headband. At that time, I was sick of the IWC calling me 'Jobbie Retro' or worse, 'Jobbie Jethro'. You know who else is named Jethro? Giant F---ing Redwood. Anyway, KP lifted my spirits and helped me make a joke out of my status. Now my time in the SWF may not be that much longer, but as long as I'm in there, I know I've got a friend in that guy. KP Avatar is DY-NO-MITE! Too bad Robbie Retro's Lava Lamp got cancelled after its 100th webisode." - Robbie Retro, SWF Superstar http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SpencerSpade_alt.jpg "For some time, I used to hate KP. A lot of us did. We thought he was sucking up to Peter, sucking up to Mr. Eisen, getting too much attention for a young rookie. But you know what? That's what being friends with Big Smack Scott will do to you. Kinda rubs people the wrong way, because you know how that man is. The Punch Heard 'Round the Wicked Game sure changed the way we thought about KP, because at least as far as us rookies are concerned, none of us want any part of that stupid Klubb." - Spencer Spade, SWF Superstar http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EricEisen_alt3.jpg "He has the speed of a Manny Pacquiao, the grace of a Muhammad Ali and the power of Iron Mike Tyson. I gotta give it to you, KP, you could have revived the heavyweight boxing scene. But you see that name near the top of the Klubb's hit list? That's you. Here's the deal with the Klubb. We make sure everyone's well-taken care of, that the locker room's needs aren't neglected. We're like the union the SWF has never had. We stick up for each other, but if we find out you're against us? That's committing backstage suicide, brother. We're kinda like a fraternity, kinda like my kayfabe Entourage, but unlike the Entourage, we're backstage babyfaces. And that's more than enough." - Eric Eisen, SWF Superstar/SWF Chief Operating Officer http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BigSmackScott.jpg "KP Avatar? F--- him!" - Big Smack Scott, you all know who he is. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KPAvatar.jpg It's been five months since I wrestled my first match in the SWF, a match where I got potatoed mercilessly, yet surprisingly meshed well with a guy who no one else seemed to jell with in the ring, "Big Smack" Scott Sinclair. In the beginning, Scott was my best friend in the locker room, and I paid for it by losing the respect of the rookies and getting ignored even more by the veterans, Christian Faith and Tom Gilmore being the most notable exceptions. My being a new addition to the creative team didn't help matters any. I had heat with almost everyone, man, and even my old schoolmate from Detroit Hannah Potter saw me as the Devil's second in command, with the Devil being none other than the Smacker. But thanks to a single punch to the face, a punch that I followed up with a Switchblade Powerslam borrowed from Kurt Laramee, the heat slowly went away. The rookies and vets who couldn't stand Eric Eisen knew which side of the fence I was on. But that punch, in a way, slowly ended my friendship with Big Smack Scott. Scott was suspended at that time, but when he came back, I already had a new set of friends, the friends I should have been hanging out with since day one. Pretty soon, he was unraveling. The drug suspension seemed to make Scott even more defiant as his actions continued to draw heat. He was drinking and 'roiding it up like no other. He did quite a job on Cam Vessey's rental car, and only paid him a measly 50 bucks for the damages. He assaulted a couple of bouncers at a gay bar because he felt like it. With every opportunity he got, he tried to make my friends look bad. Not to mention my girlfriend, Dawn the Cheerleader. As we continued dating en route to becoming officially boyfriend and girlfriend, Scott was like a spurned suitor, calling Dawn all sorts of names behind her back...and even when she was in his presence. But nothing, I mean nothing, topped The Plane Ride to Disaster. [redacted on preview] Well, here I am now. It's June 2013, and I've turned over a new leaf. Yes, I'm still counting the lights every Sunday night. But I've finally forgiven Nicky Champion, the man who accidentally injured my brother Charlie and left him quadriplegic. We get along great, I'd have to say. I've got a wonderful girlfriend, lots of friends in the locker room, a tight "posse" of fellow rookies, including some who play with me in a band, and I'm slowly getting more of a say in creative. Sure, Eric Eisen's Klubb is in there, but who am I to complain? Everyone has to deal with the Klubb. Most rookie wrestlers pay their dues by doing jobs and getting a crappy pay for lying on their back night after night after night. Life in the SWF is good. But the challenges, believe me, they still remain.
