AMW Awesome To The Max! January 26,1997 New Mexico Amroury 1000 In Attendance(SOLD OUT!) Rhys Woods: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another electrifying edition of AMW, coming to you live from the New Mexico Armoury! We've got a jam-packed show for you tonight, Roman, and the crowd is absolutely buzzing with anticipation! Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys! We've got a sold-out crowd of 1000 fans here tonight, ready to witness all the action unfold right before their eyes. And what a show we have in store for them! Rhys Woods: Absolutely, Roman. And let's not forget, tonight's show is the final stop on the road to Capitol Challenge, and tensions are running higher than ever as our superstars prepare to collide on the grandest stage of them all. Roman Matthews: That's for sure, Rhys. With the AMW World Heavyweight Championship, the Women's Championship, and the United States Championship all on the line! [The revving sound of motorcycles fills the arena as The Chain Gang's music hits, drawing boos from the audience.] Rhys Woods: Oh, here we go again. The Chain Gang making their presence known once more. What trouble do they have in store for us tonight? Roman Matthews: Looks like Mayhem Midden has something to say. Let's see what he's got on his mind. Mayhem Midden: (grabs the mic) Listen up, you sorry excuses for fans! We're here to make a statement, and that statement is simple: we do what we want, when we want, and nobody can stop us! Now, John Tucker, you thought you were somebody important didn't ya boy? You thought you were the big fish in the small pond right? Well, you thought wrong! You are a nobody who made all these people believe you were a somebody. You've never made it to the big time, but every time we come down south we have to hear about how great John Tucker is. I was dropping people left and right with my piledriver while you did nothing but breathe my air. We beat you down because you need to be taught a lesson. We beat you down to get you off your high horse. Ultimately, we beat you down because we felt like it, and nobody can do a damn thing about it! Rhys Woods: Utter brutality from The Chain Gang, showing no remorse for their actions. Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. They're sending a clear message: they're in control, and they're not afraid to do whatever it takes to prove it. [Commissioner Lone Star Stampeder's music hits, drawing cheers from the audience as he makes his way to the stage.] Rhys Woods: Wait a minute, here comes the commissioner! Looks like he's got something to say about The Chain Gang's antics. Roman Matthews: Oh I hope he knows what he's doing? Commissioner Stampeder: (grabs the mic) Now hold on just a minute there, Chain Gang. You may think you run things around here, but let me make one thing perfectly clear: you don't call the shots in AMW. I've seen your little games for far too long, and I'm putting an end to it right now. Rhys Woods: Stampeder laying down the law! But will The Chain Gang listen? Roman Matthews: Looks like they're not backing down an inch. Commissioner Stampeder: (continues) And as for John Tucker, he won't be here tonight thanks to your little beatdown. But I'll tell you what: at Capitol Challenge, hopefully you'll get what's coming to you. I may not agree with his decision, but it was his nonetheless. That's right, at Capitol Challenge, it'll be The Chain Gang versus John Tucker in a 3-on-1 handicap match! Rhys Woods: What a bombshell announcement from the commissioner! John Tucker showing incredible bravery, but is he biting off more than he can chew? Roman Matthews: I'd say so, Rhys. The Chain Gang is not to be trifled with, but Tucker's got the heart of a lion. [The Chain Gang laughs heavily at the match Tucker wanted] Commissioner Stampeder: Laugh it up, laugh it up all you want. After everything you did to him, even if he isn't one hundred percent you can bet your ass that he's coming with the rage of hell! Let's see if even one of you can continue to laugh in 24 hours. [The crowd of a thousand strong cheers in excitement at the prospect of John Tucker getting a bit of revenge.] Rhys Woods: And folks, don't touch that dial because when we come back, we've got a blockbuster showdown between Ashley Amazon and Keiko Fujinami in the semifinals of the AMW Women's Championship tournament! Stay tuned! Roman Matthews: You heard it here, folks! The stakes couldn't be higher as these two fierce competitors battle it out for a chance to advance to the finals and etch their name in the annals of AMW history. This is one match you won't want to miss! Rhys Woods: Absolutely, Roman. The tension is palpable, the excitement is building, and the New Mexico Armoury is absolutely buzzing with anticipation! We'll be right back after this short commercial break with all the action! -------------------- AMW Women's Championship Tournament Semi-Finals Ashley Amazon vs Keiko Fujinami [As the show returns from commercial break, the New Mexico Armoury erupts with cheers and anticipation but as Keiko Fujinami's entrance music hits, they immediately boo, signaling the start of the next match.] Rhys Woods: "Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to AMW Awesome to the Max! We're about to witness a pivotal match in the AMW Women's Championship tournament!" Roman Matthews: "That's right, Rhys. Keiko Fujinami has been on a roll lately, but she's got a tough opponent in Ashley Amazon tonight. The winner of this match will advance to the finals!" [As Keiko makes her way down the ramp, the commentary team takes a moment to recap the recent developments in the women's division.] Rhys Woods: "And let's not forget what happened last week, Roman. April Appleseed shocked the world with a victory over Kristabel Bauman, setting up what promises to be an explosive showdown between her and the winner of this match!" Roman Matthews: "Absolutely, Rhys. The competition in the women's division is heating up, and tonight's match will determine who gets a shot at championship gold!" [As Ashley Amazon's music hits, the crowd roars with excitement, knowing that a fierce battle is about to unfold in the ring.] Rhys Woods: "Here comes Ashley Amazon, folks! She's proven time and time again that she's a force to be reckoned with in the ring. But tonight, she's got her work cut out for her against the determined Keiko Fujinami!" [The match begins with both competitors locking up in the center of the ring, each vying for control in the early stages.] Roman Matthews: "And here we go, folks! Keiko and Ashley wasting no time getting right into the action!" Rhys Woods: "Both of these women know what's at stake, Roman. They're leaving it all in the ring tonight!" [As the match progresses, the action intensifies, with Keiko and Ashley trading blows back and forth in a display of athleticism and determination.] Roman Matthews: "This match is heating up, Rhys! Keiko and Ashley are giving it everything they've got!" [Suddenly, the tide of the match turns when Ashley inadvertently sends Keiko crashing into the referee, causing a chaotic moment in the ring.] Rhys Woods: "Oh, no! Ashley accidentally takes out the referee! This could be trouble!" Roman Matthews: "And look at this, Rhys! Kristabel Bauman is storming the ring! What's she doing here?" [With the referee down and out, Kristabel Bauman seizes the opportunity to make her presence felt, launching a sudden attack on Ashley.] Rhys Woods: "Kristabel Bauman with a vicious assault on Ashley Amazon! This is turning into chaos!" Roman Matthews: "Ashley didn't see that coming at all, Rhys! She's down and out after that devastating Kristal Smasher!" [With Ashley incapacitated, Keiko wastes no time seizing the moment, applying her signature submission hold, the Keiko Lock.] Rhys Woods: "And now Keiko Fujinami has Ashley locked in the Keiko Lock! With no referee to stop the match, this could be it!" Roman Matthews: "Ashley's in real trouble here, Rhys. She's trapped in the center of the ring with nowhere to go!" [The commentary team watches with bated breath as Keiko cinches in the hold on an unconscious Ashley. The referee comes to and calls for the bell.] Rhys Woods: "It's over! Ashley isn't even conscious! What a turn of events!" Roman Matthews: Incredible! Keiko Fujinami steals the victory here tonight, but let's not forget the nefarious actions of Kristabel Bauman! This is despicable! Rhys Woods: Absolutely, Roman. And now, with this victory, Keiko Fujinami advances to the finals of the AMW Women's Championship tournament! But the controversy doesn't end here, folks. We've just received word that at Capitol Challenge, Ashley Amazon will go one-on-one with Kristabel Bauman! The tension between these two competitors is at an all-time high, and I can't wait to see what unfolds at the Pay-Per-View! -------------------- [As the arena buzzes with the aftermath of Keiko Fujinami's victory, the scene shifts backstage to the intimidating presence of Mighty Thor addressing the camera with a smug grin.] Mighty Thor: "The so-called 'champion' of AMW, The Rev. Last week, you paraded around with that title of yours like it meant something. But let me remind you, Rev, that you're nothing but a paper champion. A placeholder until the true alpha male takes his rightful place at the top of the food chain." [The commentary team interjects, emphasizing the intensity of Mighty Thor's words and the brewing tension between the two rivals.] Rhys Woods: "Listen to the confidence in Mighty Thor's voice, Roman. He's not mincing words when it comes to The Rev and that AMW World Heavyweight Championship!" Roman Matthews: "Absolutely, Rhys. Thor's not one to hold back, and tonight, he's got a chance to prove his point in the ring. The Rev better be ready for a fight come Capitol Challenge!" [Mighty Thor continues, his gaze unwavering as he delivers his message with conviction.] Mighty Thor: "Tonight, when I step into that ring, I'm going to show everyone what it truly means to be a champion. I'm going to dismantle my opponent, piece by piece, until there's nothing left but wreckage. Because in this jungle, I am the alpha male, and I will reign supreme." [With his declaration echoing through the backstage area, Mighty Thor departs, leaving an air of anticipation for his upcoming match and the inevitable clash with The Rev.] -------------------- AMW United States Championship Tournament Semi-Final Archangel vs Edwin D Bashford [As the tension from Mighty Thor's proclamation lingers in the air, the arena lights refocus on the ring, signaling the continuation of the action-packed evening. The commentary team sets the stage for the next bout, highlighting the significance of the ongoing tournament.] Rhys Woods: "Well, folks, if you thought things couldn't get any hotter tonight, think again! We've got another thrilling matchup coming your way, and this time, it's all about that coveted spot in the United States Championship Tournament." Roman Matthews: "That's right, Rhys. These competitors are hungry for success, and every win brings them one step closer to championship glory!" [As the anticipation builds, the pulse-pounding entrance music of Archangel fills the arena, drawing cheers from the electrified crowd. The imposing figure of Archangel steps through the curtain, his determined gaze fixed on the ring.] Rhys Woods: "Here comes Archangel, folks! The powerhouse from parts unknown is ready to unleash his fury once again." Roman Matthews: "Absolutely, Rhys. Archangel has been a force to be reckoned with in recent weeks, and tonight, he's looking to punch his ticket to the next round of the tournament." [Archangel climbs into the ring, his intensity palpable as he awaits his opponent. The arena erupts once more as the music shifts to the entrance theme of Edwin D Bashford, signaling the arrival of another formidable challenger.] Rhys Woods: "And here comes Archangel's opponent for tonight, the dynamic Edwin D Bashford! This matchup promises to be a clash of styles, folks." Roman Matthews: "Bashford may not have the same brute strength as Archangel, but don't count him out, Rhys. He's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve." [With both competitors in the ring, the referee signals for the match to begin, and the action wastes no time heating up. Archangel dominates the early exchanges, showcasing his raw power and relentless aggression.] Rhys Woods: "Archangel is taking control early on, folks! He's like a wrecking ball in that ring, unleashing a barrage of strikes on Bashford." Roman Matthews: "Bashford needs to find a way to turn the tide here, Rhys. Archangel is not someone you want to be on the receiving end of for too long." [Despite Bashford's valiant efforts to mount a comeback, Archangel proves to be too much to handle. With a thunderous display of strength, Archangel delivers his signature finishing maneuver, laying Bashford out cold in the center of the ring.] Rhys Woods: "And there it is, folks! Archangel with the emphatic victory!" Roman Matthews: "What a performance by Archangel! He's on a collision course with destiny, and nothing seems to be able to stop him!" -------------------- [As Archangel basks in the glory of his victory, the arena pulses with anticipation for what comes next. Suddenly, the lights dim, and the titantron flickers to life, signaling the onset of a tense confrontation. Archangel stands tall in the ring, a fierce determination etched on his features, as he grabs a microphone, ready to address the AMW faithful.] Rhys Woods: "Looks like Archangel has something on his mind, folks. Let's see what he's got to say." Roman Matthews: "After that dominating performance, I can't wait to hear what's on his mind, Rhys. Archangel is a force to be reckoned with in that ring." [Archangel raises the microphone to his lips, his voice booming throughout the arena as he addresses the crowd.] Archangel: "Listen up, AMW! Tonight, you witnessed the might and power of Archangel firsthand. I stand before you as a warrior, a champion in the making, and there's no one in this tournament who can stand in my way." [The crowd responds with a roar of approval, energized by Archangel's confident words. But before he can continue, the arena is filled with the sound of Joel Kovach's entrance music, cutting through the air like a thunderous challenge.] Rhys Woods: "Well, it looks like Archangel's words have drawn the attention of his opponent at Capitol Challenge!" Roman Matthews: "This is heating up, folks! Archangel and Joel Kovach have been on a collision course, and tonight, it looks like things are about to come to a head!" [Joel Kovach emerges from the curtain, his gaze locked on Archangel with a mixture of determination and defiance. He strides purposefully down the ramp, a microphone in hand, ready to engage in verbal combat.] Joel Kovach: "Archangel, Archangel, Archangel. You stand there in the ring, puffing out your chest like you're some kind of unstoppable force. But let me remind you, my friend, that in this ring, anything can happen." [The crowd buzzes with anticipation as Kovach steps into the ring, the tension between the two competitors palpable.] Joel Kovach: "You may have had your moment tonight, Archangel, but at Capitol Challenge, the stakes will be higher than ever. And mark my words, I will stop at nothing to claim that United States Championship for myself." [Archangel's eyes narrow as he listens to Kovach's words, his own resolve unwavering in the face of the challenge.] Archangel: "You talk a big game, Kovach, but talk is cheap. When we step into that ring at Capitol Challenge, actions will speak louder than words. And mark my words, I will walk out of that arena as the United States Champion." Rhys Woods: "Well, folks, it looks like things are really heating up between Archangel and Joel Kovach! We'll have to wait until Capitol Challenge to see who comes out on top in that showdown." Roman Matthews: "Absolutely, Rhys. The United States Championship is on the line, and both of these competitors are hungry for victory. But for now, let's take a quick break and hear from our sponsors. Don't go anywhere, folks, there's plenty more AMW action still to come!" -------------------- Leo Davis & Corey Smith vs The Hustlers [As the commercial break concludes, the energy in the arena remains palpable as fans eagerly await the next thrilling encounter.

[As the match gets underway, both teams trade blows in the center of the ring, each vying for control. The Hustlers quickly assert their dominance with their signature tag team maneuvers, keeping Davis and Smith on the defensive.] Rhys Woods: "The Hustlers are really showing why they're the champions here, Roman. They're working together seamlessly, keeping Davis and Smith off balance." Roman Matthews: "But wait, Rhys! Look at this! It's The Vice Squad! They're making their way down to the ring, and it looks like they've got their sights set on The Hustlers!" [As The Vice Squad approaches ringside, they distract The Hustlers, allowing Leo Davis and Corey Smith to capitalize. Despite The Hustlers' best efforts, Davis and Smith rally back, mounting a furious comeback.] Rhys Woods: "The Vice Squad's distraction has completely shifted the momentum of this match, Roman! Davis and Smith are on fire!" Roman Matthews: "But can they capitalize, Rhys? The Hustlers are still the champions for a reason, and they won't go down without a fight!" [In the closing moments of the match, The Hustlers manage to regain their focus, countering a high-flying maneuver from Corey Smith and delivering their devastating tag team finisher for the win.] Rhys Woods: "And there you have it, folks! The Hustlers pick up the victory tonight, but not without a fight from Leo Davis and Corey Smith!" Roman Matthews: "That's right, Rhys. The Hustlers may have retained their titles tonight, but The Vice Squad certainly made their presence felt. Things are heating up here in AMW!" [With tensions simmering between rival factions and the competition fiercer than ever, the stage is set for an explosive conclusion at Capitol Challenge.] -------------------- [As The Hustlers celebrate their hard-fought victory in the ring, The Vice Squad wastes no time in confronting them, eager to settle the score. The tension between the two teams is mounting as they stand face to face, exchanging heated words.] Rhys Woods: "Oh, it looks like things are about to get explosive here, Roman! The Vice Squad and The Hustlers are nose to nose, and it seems like they're ready to come to blows!" Roman Matthews: "Absolutely, Rhys! There's no love lost between these two teams, and they're itching for a fight!" [Just as it seems like a brawl is about to erupt, the arena is plunged into darkness, sending shockwaves through the crowd. When the lights come back on, the scene in the ring has taken a chilling turn.] Rhys Woods: "What in the world just happened, Roman? It's chaos in the ring! The Vice Squad and The Hustlers are laid out!" Roman Matthews: "This is unbelievable, Rhys! Something's not right here. How did Scarah get into the ring, and she's holding the tag team titles! And more importantly, what happened to The Vice Squad and The Hustlers?" [The camera pans around the ring, capturing the bewildered expressions and the stunned silence of the crowd. The commentary team speculates on the mysterious turn of events, but there are more questions than answers.] Rhys Woods: "Folks, I'm at a loss for words. It looks like we've got a lot more questions than answers right now. But one thing's for sure: the stakes have never been higher as we head into Capitol Challenge!" Roman Matthews: "That's right, Rhys. With tensions running high and mysteries abound, anything can happen in AMW!

Mad Dog Mortimer better be ready, because Mighty Thor looks like he's on a mission tonight!" [As Mighty Thor's theme hits, the arena erupts with boos and cheers, depending on where the fans' allegiances lie. The imposing figure of Mighty Thor strides confidently down the ramp, exuding an aura of absolute dominance.] Rhys Woods: "Here comes the Alpha Male himself, Mighty Thor!

Mortimer struggles to mount any offense against his larger opponent, as Thor maintains control with ruthless efficiency.] Rhys Woods: "Mighty Thor is absolutely manhandling Mad Dog Mortimer here, folks! It's like watching a lion toy with its prey in the wild!" Roman Matthews: "I hate to say it, Rhys, but it's not looking good for Mad Dog Mortimer. He's gonna need a miracle to turn the tide against Mighty Thor!" [In a dramatic crescendo, Mighty Thor hoists Mad Dog Mortimer onto his shoulders, ascending the turnbuckle with a look of grim determination. The crowd watches in awe as Thor delivers a devastating powerbomb from the top rope, sending shockwaves through the ring.] Rhys Woods: "Oh my goodness, folks! Mighty Thor is going for broke here! He's got Mad Dog Mortimer up on the top rope!" Roman Matthews: "This could be the beginning of the end, Rhys! If Mighty Thor hits this, it's lights out for Mad Dog Mortimer!"

Love him or hate him, you've got to respect the dominance of the Alpha Male!" Roman Matthews: "Absolutely, Rhys! Mighty Thor may be the most feared competitor in AMW right now, and performances like that only solidify his status at the top of the food chain!" -------------------- [As the dust settles from the intense main event, the arena is buzzing with excitement and anticipation for what's to come.] Rhys Woods: "What a night it's been here in the New Mexico Armoury, Roman! We've seen some incredible action, and we're not done yet!" Roman Matthews: "You're absolutely right, Rhys! But before we wrap things up, it looks like we've got one more surprise in store for the fans!" [As the camera pans to the stage, The Rev emerges to a thunderous ovation from the crowd.

[As The Rev ascends the stage, he raises the championship high above his head, eliciting a deafening roar from the crowd. With a determined look in his eyes, he mouths the words, "I'll see you soon," directed toward the ring.] Rhys Woods: "Listen to this crowd, Roman! The Rev is fired up and ready for Capitol Challenge!" Roman Matthews: "And speaking of Capitol Challenge, Rhys, don't forget to order the PPV, folks! It's going to be a night you won't want to miss!" [The show goes off the air as Mighty Thor and The Rev stare each other down one last time.]

Anyone who passes by allow me to apologize for the eclectic formats. Trying to find one that I like and that is manageable. Then again I doubt anyone lurks but just wanted to put this here just in case anyway. Still finding my footing.

They're watching The Vice Squad's victory with a sense of assurance, knowing that they'll be facing them for the AMW World Tag Team Championships at Capitol Challenge. Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. Ernie Turner and Roger Dodger exude confidence, but what's this? There seem to be some shadowy figures lurking in the corner of the room. Who could they be? The camera zooms in on the shadowy figures, their identities obscured from view. They watch Ernie and Roger intently, their presence ominous and mysterious. Rhys Woods: This is certainly an intriguing development, folks. Who are these shadowy figures, Could it be the Darkness, and what could their presence mean for The Hustlers?

Every time April attempts to mount a comeback, Bauman shuts her down with ruthless efficiency.] Rhys Woods: Bauman is absolutely toying with April, Roman! She's showing why she's considered one of the most dominant competitors in the Women's division. Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. Bauman's confidence is through the roof, but let's not forget, anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling.

Despite Bauman's relentless onslaught, April manages to find an opening, catching Bauman off guard with a sudden roll-up.] Rhys Woods: Oh my goodness, Roman! April Appleseed with a roll-up out of nowhere! Roman Matthews: Could this be it? [The referee counts: One! Two! Three!] Rhys Woods: She did it! April Appleseed has pulled off the upset victory over Kristabel Bauman! Roman Matthews: What a shocker, Rhys! Bauman's dominance has been derailed by April Appleseed in a stunning turn of events! [As April celebrates her hard-fought victory, Bauman is left stunned and infuriated in the center of the ring. The commentary team emphasizes the significance of this victory for April, highlighting the unexpected nature of her triumph.] Is it Over? [As the camera cuts backstage following the commercial break and April Appleseed's shocking victory over Kristabel Bauman, tensions run high among the remaining competitors in the Women's Championship tournament. Kristabel Bauman, visibly enraged by her defeat, kicks and throws objects in frustration.] Kristabel Bauman: (fuming) This is ridiculous! I can't believe I lost to that nobody! [Suddenly, Ashley Amazon enters the frame, her expression smug as she observes Bauman's outburst.] Ashley Amazon: (sarcastically) Well, well, well. What do we have here? Is someone a sore loser? [Bauman whirls around to face Ashley, her eyes blazing with anger.] Kristabel Bauman: (snapping) You think this is funny, Amazon? You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when I'm the one holding that championship! Ashley Amazon: (seriously) Oh Yeah? How are you gonna do that exactly with you no longer being in the tournament? [Before the confrontation can escalate further, Keiko Fujinami steps into the scene, her demeanor calm but assertive.] Keiko Fujinami: (firmly) Enough, both of you. This tournament is far from over, and I refuse to play second fiddle to anyone. [Bauman and Amazon exchange a tense glance before turning their attention to Keiko, their expressions a mix of irritation and intrigue.] Ashley Amazon: (mockingly) Oh, look who decided to join the party. Do you think you can win this tournament? Keiko Fujinami: (steadily) I don't need to think, Amazon. My actions in this ring speak for themselves. And mark my words, when I become champion, it'll prove once and for all who the true star of the Women's division is. [As the tension simmers between the three competitors, April Appleseed enters the scene, her confidence evident despite the chaos unfolding around her.] April Appleseed: (assertively) Ladies, ladies, let's not forget why we're here. This isn't about petty squabbles or egos. It's about proving who's the best in this division and securing a future as the Women's Champion. [Amazon, and Keiko regard April with a mixture of annoyance and begrudging respect, each eager to assert their own dominance in the division.] Kristabel Bauman: (icily) You may have gotten lucky tonight, April, but don't think for a second that makes you the best. Keiko Fujinami: (smirking) She's right. The real competition is just beginning, and I intend to come out on top. Ashley Amazon: (determined) We'll see about that. But mark my words, I won't rest until I'm standing tall as the Women's Champion. [The tension among the four competitors is palpable as they exchange heated words, each vying for supremacy in the Women's Championship division. Despite their differences, one thing is clear: the battle for the title is far from over. As the tension among the women's division competitors simmers backstage, the commentary team can't help but weigh in on the heated exchange.] Rhys Woods: Well, folks, tensions are certainly running high among our Women's Championship tournament participants. It's clear that each of these competitors is hungry for success, but only one can emerge victorious. Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. With so much at stake, emotions are bound to be running high. But let's not forget, this tournament is far from over, and anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling. Rhys Woods: Absolutely, Roman. And speaking of high-stakes competition, we've got a blockbuster matchup coming up next in the AMW United States Championship tournament. Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. It's John Tucker taking on Joel Kovach in what promises to be a hard-hitting semifinal showdown. But let's not forget, folks, John Tucker's had his fair share of distractions as of late, thanks to the Chain Gang's interference. Rhys Woods: Indeed, Roman. And if there's one thing we know about the Chain Gang, it's that they're always lurking in the shadows, ready to strike when least expected. Let's hope Tucker can stay focused and come out on top in this crucial matchup. Roman Matthews: Well said, Rhys. It looks like the action is about to heat up in the ring, so let's send it down to our ring announcer for the official introductions. AMW United States Championship Tournament Semi-Finals Joel Kovach vs John Tucker [The bell rings, signaling the start of the highly anticipated semifinal match in the AMW United States Championship tournament. Both John Tucker and Joel Kovach stand in their respective corners, eyeing each other with intensity as the crowd buzzes with anticipation.] Rhys Woods: And here we go, folks! This matchup is sure to be a barnburner! Roman Matthews: You said it, Rhys. Both of these competitors are hungry for victory, but only one can advance to the finals of the United States Championship tournament. [Tucker and Kovach cautiously circle each other in the center of the ring, each looking for an opening to strike. Suddenly, Tucker lunges forward with a quick jab, but Kovach sidesteps and counters with a swift kick to the midsection. Tucker doubles over in pain, but quickly regains his composure and responds with a stiff forearm to Kovach's jaw.] Rhys Woods: Tucker with a vicious forearm! He's not holding anything back in this matchup! Roman Matthews: That's the intensity we've come to expect from John Tucker, Rhys. He's determined to make it to the finals of this tournament. [Tucker presses his advantage, unleashing a flurry of strikes on Kovach and driving him back into the corner. With Kovach reeling, Tucker whips him across the ring with a powerful Irish whip. Kovach crashes into the turnbuckles with force, staggering dazedly as Tucker charges in with a clothesline.] Rhys Woods: Tucker is in control here, Roman! He's taking the fight right to Joel Kovach! Roman Matthews: But let's not count Kovach out just yet, Rhys. He's proven time and time again that he's got resilience in spades. [As Tucker continues his relentless assault, Kovach manages to catch him off guard with a well-timed knee to the midsection. Tucker stumbles backward, gasping for air, as Kovach seizes the opportunity to capitalize. With Tucker dazed and disoriented, Kovach hoists him up onto his shoulders, looking to execute his signature finishing maneuver.] Rhys Woods: Kovach going for the "Kovach Krusher"! If he hits this, it could be lights out for John Tucker! Roman Matthews: Tucker's in trouble here, Rhys! He needs to find a way to counter and turn the tide in his favor! [But just as Kovach prepares to deliver the devastating maneuver, the arena is suddenly filled with the revving of motorcycles. The distraction proves to be just enough for Tucker to escape Kovach's grasp, causing him to stumble backward and lose his grip on Tucker.] Rhys Woods: What's going on here, Roman? Something's not right! Roman Matthews: It looks like the Chain Gang is making their presence known, Rhys! This could spell trouble for John Tucker! [Sure enough, as Tucker tries to regain his bearings, he's met with a devastating clothesline from Kovach, knocking him to the mat. With Tucker down and vulnerable, Kovach quickly seizes the opportunity and goes for the cover.] Rhys Woods: Kovach with the cover! This could be it! Roman Matthews: But wait, Rhys! It looks like the Chain Gang's interference may have turned the tide in Kovach's favor! [The referee counts the pinfall, and the crowd erupts into boos as Kovach secures the victory, advancing to the finals of the United States Championship tournament.] Rhys Woods: Joel Kovach steals the win, thanks in part to the interference from the Chain Gang! Roman Matthews: This is an outrage, Rhys! John Tucker had this match won until the Chain Gang stuck their noses where they didn't belong! [As Kovach celebrates his hard-fought victory, the camera cuts to the entrance ramp, where the Chain Gang stands tall on their motorcycles, watching the chaos unfold in the ring with sinister smiles on their faces.] Blood In The Water [The arena is filled with the sound of revving motorcycles. The Chain Gang, led by Mayhem Midden, their presence sending a chill down the spines of everyone in the arena.] Rhys Woods: Oh no, not these guys coming for John again! You've already cost him the match what more do you want? Roman Matthews: It looks like the Chain Gang isn't finished with John Tucker yet, Rhys. This could get ugly. [As the Chain Gang reaches the ring, they dismount their motorcycles and slide under the bottom rope, surrounding John Tucker like a pack of wolves closing in on their prey. Tucker, still reeling from his defeat, tries to stand his ground, but the odds are stacked against him.] Rhys Woods: Tucker is completely defenseless here, Roman. He's got nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Roman Matthews: This is a despicable display, Rhys. The Chain Gang has no business being out here. [Derek Barnes and Jesse Grissom move in first, grabbing Tucker by the arms and holding him in place as Mayhem Midden steps forward with a malevolent grin. Midden picks up a steel chair from ringside, the glint of malice shining in his eyes as he raises it high above his head.] Rhys Woods: Oh no, this doesn't look good, Roman. Mayhem Midden has evil intentions written all over his face. Roman Matthews: Someone needs to put a stop to this, Rhys. This is crossing the line. [With a sickening thud, Mayhem Midden brings the steel chair crashing down onto John Tucker's skull, the impact echoing throughout the arena. Tucker crumples to the mat, blood streaming from a gash on his forehead, as the crowd looks on in horror.] Rhys Woods: Good lord, that chair shot was absolutely brutal! Roman Matthews: Tucker is defenseless against this onslaught, Rhys. The Chain Gang is showing no mercy whatsoever. [But the assault doesn't end there. Mayhem Midden thinks of tossing the chair aside but decides against it and motions for Barnes and Grissom to lift Tucker back to his feet. Again, Mayhem Midden slams the chair across Tucker's head. Midden then motions for them to bring in the steel steps. With Tucker barely able to stand, Midden delivers a devastating piledriver, driving Tucker's skull into the unforgiving steel steps with bone-crushing force.] Rhys Woods: Oh my god, did you see that piledriver onto the steel steps, Roman? John Tucker could be seriously injured! Roman Matthews: This is a travesty, Rhys. The Chain Gang is out for blood, and Tucker is paying the price. [As Tucker lies motionless on the arena floor, the Chain Gang stands tall over him, their sinister laughter filling the air. The camera fades to black as the scene comes to a chilling conclusion.] Rhys Woods: Ladies and gentlemen, if you're just joining us, you missed a harrowing scene before the commercial break. The Chain Gang absolutely decimated John Tucker, leaving him in a pool of his own blood. Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. It was a despicable display of brutality, and I hope Tucker is okay after that vicious assault. Rhys Woods: Our thoughts are certainly with John Tucker, but now it's time to shift our focus back to the action in the ring. It's time for our main event of the evening! Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys. Corey Smith is set to go one-on-one with The Rev in a non-title match. Smith has a tough task ahead of him tonight. Rhys Woods: Absolutely, Roman. The Rev has been on an absolute tear lately, and Corey Smith will need to be at the top of his game if he hopes to pick up a win here tonight. Main Event! Non-Title Match Corey Smith vs The Rev [The bell rings, and the match is officially underway. Corey Smith wastes no time, charging at The Rev with everything he's got. The Rev, however, is ready for him, and the two engage in a heated exchange of strikes and counters.] Rhys Woods: Corey Smith coming out of the gate like a house on fire, but The Rev is not one to be taken lightly. Roman Matthews: That's for sure, Rhys. The Rev is a seasoned veteran in that ring, and he's not about to let Corey Smith walk all over him. [As the match progresses, Corey Smith manages to gain some momentum, hitting The Rev with a flurry of offense. Smith goes for the pin, but The Rev kicks out just in the nick of time.] Rhys Woods: Corey Smith with a near fall there! He's really taking it to The Rev tonight! Roman Matthews: But let's not count The Rev out just yet, Rhys. He's proven time and time again that he's not one to be underestimated. [Despite Smith's best efforts, The Rev begins to turn the tide, unleashing a relentless assault on his opponent. With the crowd firmly behind him, The Rev sets Corey Smith up for his patented finisher, the Rev DDT.] Rhys Woods: Oh, it looks like The Rev is setting up for the Rev DDT! This could be the beginning of the end for Corey Smith! Roman Matthews: If he hits this, it's lights out for Smith, Rhys. He'll be lucky if he can even remember his own name after that. [With a thunderous crash, The Rev drives Corey Smith into the canvas with the Rev DDT, planting him firmly into the mat. The referee counts the pin, and it's academic from there.] Rhys Woods: And there it is, folks! The Rev picks up the win with the Rev DDT! Roman Matthews: Another impressive victory for the AMW World Heavyweight Champion, Rhys. He's proving why he's at the top of the mountain here in AMW, and you have to believe that Mighty Thor is prepared for war. Matter of Time Rhys Woods: Well, folks, what an intense main event we've just witnessed! The Rev continues to prove why he's the reigning AMW World Heavyweight Champion! Roman Matthews: Absolutely, Rhys! But wait, what's this? It looks like Mighty Thor is lurking backstage, and he's got his eyes locked on The Rev! Rhys Woods: Indeed, Roman! Mighty Thor has been eyeing that championship for weeks now, and it seems he's not content to let The Rev bask in his victory tonight. Roman Matthews: You can see the smirk on Thor's face, Rhys. He's plotting something, and I have a feeling it spells trouble for The Rev and his title reign! [As the camera focuses on Mighty Thor, a devious smirk plays across his lips as he watches The Rev celebrating with the championship in the ring. The tension between these two rivals is palpable, and the stage is set for an epic showdown in the near future.] Rhys Woods: The war for the AMW World Heavyweight Championship is far from over, folks! Mighty Thor is on the hunt, and The Rev better watch his back! Roman Matthews: That's right, Rhys! The Rev may be celebrating tonight, but the threat of Mighty Thor looms large. This rivalry is far from settled, and I can't wait to see what happens next! [With that note, the camera zooms in on the championship belt displayed proudly by The Rev, signaling the end of another thrilling episode of AMW Awesome to the Max.]

He's not mincing words when it comes to Archangel!" Roman Matthews: "That's right, Rhys. Kovach is looking to get under Archangel's skin, but the question is, will Archangel take the bait?" Archangel: (Stares silently at Joel Kovach, his expression unchanging, exuding an aura of intensity and intimidation.) Joel Kovach: "Cat got your tongue, Archangel? Guess you're all show and no substance. See you in the ring, if you even make it that far." Rhys Woods: "Archangel's not saying a word, Roman. But that stare speaks volumes!"

I play 16 FAITHFULLY! 20 just isn’t my cup of tea. I’ve even made a mini mod of 20s database for myself to play in 16 🤣.

If Ozzie doesn't beat DWN we riot!!!

Can someone supply me with the uspw logos without a backround? I wish I knew how to do it myself as to not bother people. I'm trying to make some arenas on WWE2k and I need the logos without the backround to get it just right. Any help would be much appreciated.

None really, just found it odd it was there is all.

Any cheats for this game? I saw the remote assistance and it kind of surprised me as I assumed this game didn't have any.

More please! I have been silently watching this and imagine my surprise when I return to see it's still going despite the release of 20.

Get those 10 year contracts out. And build those new stars. I believe in you.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Just when your about to rage quit someone challenges your manhood lol. Well good news is I didn't quit and I'm running on no sleep at the moment from trying to get things rolling with TCW. I ended up creating a women's division and destroying the AAA roster. Alicia Strong and Gorgon weren't resigned by USPW so I snatched them up too. I've built my women up well and have my women's championship labelled as main event. Forgive me for wanting more women in the hall of immortals lol. Anyway my roster is starting to come together as I'm still competing with the other major promotions in the world. SMY and Charity Sweet just main evented TCW Threatening Behavior and pulled an 81. The feud was hot and I was hoping they could get more but this is a huge step forward for women for main eventing a ppv in a male dominated promotion and business.</p><p> </p><p> The Rock City Stars and The Ring Generals are being handled very carefully as I view them as the future of my tag division. I also brought in Doug Peak in order to team him up with Eddie. They are slotted for tag team gold very soon and New Wave will take a much needed break from the titles. The Southern Stars have also been doing well along with a makeshift team of Acid II and El Mitico who now goes by Messiah Negro. All in all everything is looking good and I was able to get a hot free agent in Atom Smasher after SWF didn't renew his contract. I'm gonna make them regret casting off valuable midcarders by turning these people into superstars. Atom Smasher is already being groomed for a run at the top. He just has to get through Ino & Arsenal within the next six month's before he gets a crack at BV.</p>

Looks like I'm gonna be splitting time between wwe2k17 and this.

I did a 4way split as bookers. I was TCW, the other 3 were USPW, SWF, and NOTBPW. I was so limited that I couldnt get into a bidding war with SWF or TCW for anyone. I lost every time. Its annoying as hell playing as a booker of TCW</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Kyle Rhodes is a pain in the ass. I litterally had to lock my undercard guys who were young and talented to 10yr deals. I was losing everybody. Jay Chord, Hawkins, RDJ, Rocky, Bach, Joshua, and many others I invested in. Marat and DuBois are no feasible replacement for any of the names mentioned. On top of that thee tag division is nonee existent. The New Wave cant win and lose the titles forever. I went on a hiring spree of tag teams, vets, indy stars, and unknowns in order to stay relevant. Now that Andrews is heading to USPW i have no choice but to give long term deals and hope I can build talent as the heart of my company is snatched away.</p><p> </p><p> On a side note these are the men carrying me at the moment.</p><p> </p><p> Bryan Vessey, 45yrs, 83pop tcw champion</p><p> Human Arsenal, 40yrs, 83pop</p><p> Marat Khoklov, 40yrs, 92pop</p><p> Eddie Peak, 39ish, 81pop</p><p> Koshiro Ino, 76 pop, TCW International champion</p><p> </p><p> That is my main event right there I have all of them in programs with lower card guys to help build them. TCW will die if Rhodes doesn't let me compete and I will leave my position and let the big 4 of the world eat them alive.</p>

<p>Is it just me or does Kyle Rhodes put a vice grip on the talent your able to sign. TCW has lost numerous stars.</p><p> </p><p> Sammy Bach 90 pop - SWF</p><p> Wolf Hawking 90 pop - SWF</p><p> RDJ 86pop - USPW</p><p> Rocky Golden 92pop - SWF</p><p> </p><p> These are key players with major pop and they have all been pilfered. The only upside to their departure is Eddie Peak and Human Arsenal are solidly placed in the main event. Bryan Vessey at 45 is now a two time TCW World champion after a great 11 month run from Andrews. On an unrelated note, James Justice was pilfered by the SWF and is now the SWF World Heavyweight Champion dethroning Remo and he's sitting at 85pop and holding steady as decline hasn't gotten bad enough. With the new major names flooding the SWF I don't see him holding the strap for much longer.</p>
