  1. TopRopeElbow.com Quarterly Report: Q1 2020

     

    Hello one and all, welcome to the TRE quarterly report where we wrap up all

    the biggest happenings in professional wrestling for Q1 2020:

     

    We’ll kick things off with USPW who have had a solid if slightly unspectacular start to the year. They have launched a new ‘B’ show USPW Future Legends which has featured the women’s division and young talent quite heavily. Shows have been consistently good, even if they have not been must watch television and the faith placed in the company’s women to main event these shows has been commendable. The next biggest piece of USPW news relates to new signing Hijo Del Águila Americana who signed with the company rather than renew his contract with EILL. Whether this was with the intention of pushing him up the card, or just a move to take a useful tool against the competition is yet to be seen. In championship terms, the tag team titles are being held by Kruser Karloff and Petr Novak, while the Women’s Championship is once again in the hands of Alicia Strong who now finds herself in her eighth reign with the belt. In a piece of sad news however, young star Sterling Whitlock has departed the company following the end of his contract, the young grappler was on the receiving end of 10 consecutive defeats this year, seemingly being jobbed out the door. It remains to be seen whether or not he will find work in another company soon.

     

    SWF have had a relatively quiet first quarter, with their shocking move out the prime time slot on C.A.N.N being accompanied by the news they would be debuting a new ‘B’ show SWF Breakthrough TV which has featured solid tag team and 6-man tag team matches up until now. No move in or out of the roster, and the only title change has been the tag titles moving to The Awesomness.

     

    Moving on to TCW who have seemingly had a quieter quarter than any of the other Big 3 members. Their yearly dojo class graduation has seen 3 wrestlers go to MAW and 3 stay on the main roster, while no other new signings have come in and no titles have changed hands. Marc Speed was allowed to leave at the end of his contract, the Detroit native found himself with a 3-7 record this year and his departure leaves questions surrounding his Eliminators partner Roderick Remus and how he will fair alone on the roster.

    Up in Canada, CWA have also had a quiet year, however The Dynamite Express have now amassed a staggering 23 defences of the CWA tag titles in a reign that has spanned 414 days, that is an average of one defence every EIGHTEEN days!

     

    In EILL the company has come to terms with OLLIE so as to send any potential prospects away for seasoning. No signings and apart from Hijo Del Águila Americana no departures either. One title change took place this quarter as the Mega Men team of El Mítico Jr. and Jagged who came together in January won the Campeonatos de Parejas EILL. Both events and TV have been consistently great as the company have gone from strength to strength this year.

     

    In Japan, BHOTWG had an extremely busy first quarter as they announced 6 new signings, with 5 coming in the first week of January alone. Takayuki 2000 however has left the company in a move that has left many scratching their heads, as he was seen as the biggest star of the former GCG signings made following the company’s closure. MYSTIC Dragon has become the Junior Heavyweight champion, while new signings Eagle Kawasawa and Brute Kikuchi have teamed up to claim the World Tag Team championships.

     

    On to COTT news, both current COTT titles changed hands this quarter as Pablo Rodriquez lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Ant-Man and the American Cobras fell to The Freedom Family of Tricolor Jr. and Luis Montero Jr. in a move which many are viewing as more bias towards keeping the titles in Mexico by OLLIE. There is however news that a handful of new titles will be introduced to the Confederation in Q2, including the heavily rumoured World Women’s Championship which has been expected following the additions of QAW and CILL to the Confederation.

     

    Business as usual has been the mantra in RAW this quarter as no events of

    note have taken place for the company.

     

    In injury news, Panda Mask II has found himself on the shelf now for over a year due to a major concussion suffered in January soon after his high profile move to BHOTWG. Other high profile injuries with recovery times of up to a year include: Blake Belushi, Spencer Spade, Marvel Molloy, Lily Snyder, SUKI, and X-Calibre.

     

    Finally the high profile retirements for this quarter include those of Insane Machine and Destiny.

  2. I mean, a gauntlet match is literally just a series of singles matches in a row, and in real life those matches do tend to be worse because they go shorter or end abruptly that's just how it is.

     

    Worker overuse really isnt that big a deal, your show isn't going to bomb because somebody went 5 minutes more than maybe most would expect, but that extra exposure will help with their popularity so you could use them more in future

  3. I didn’t realise this was a thing, but are you saying you can’t book a King of the Ring style event where the quarter finals, semi finals and final are all held on the one night?

     

    Surely that’s not true!

     

    You can, but the tournament doesn't update in real-time before the event if you pre-book a match winner, meaning you have to have the bracket drawn out for yourself if you want to donate one-night tournament because it doesn't give you an actual bracket to visually represent who should be wrestling who in the following round

  4. Card for RMW Desperado:

We've just gone from being show who is objectively the most popular active wrestlers, and then women and then occasionals, to being shown all of the wrestlers in terms of how likely they are to pop a crowd.</p><p> </p><p> It takes some getting used to but it is just a different system of organisation rather than a lack of it</p>
  6. I understand the system comes from WMMA so this probably wasn't considered by would it be possible to set it up so that if I pre-book a winner in a tournament match, the tournament bracket updates in real-time?

     

    As it is I find the tournament system to be unusable when booking a one-night tournament, or any tournament that has more than semi-final and finals on the one night.

    Sat, Wk4, Mar 2020

    Attendance: 156

     

    Opening Match

    Singles Match

    15-Minute Time Limit

    RaR7Te4.jpgvs 0CBBxRD.jpg

    • Guillotine dominated the local talent Mad Dog Mortimer from bell-to-bell.

    • The match went slightly long and the crowd began to lose some interest in a simple squash running for over five minutes, however they did pop for Guillotine’s Sideswipe Knee finisher.

    • Unfortunately Mortimer was just too old and broken down to make Guillotine look as good as he needed.

    • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Guillotine defeated Mad Dog Mortimer in 5:59 by pinfall with a

    Sideswipe Knee.

    Lisa Bowen grabbed a microphone from ringside and got into the ring with her charges before their match. “Do you see these boys?” She began, gesturing to Johnny Needham and Ralph Liotta.

    “They’re cute as a button and twice as tough and tonight one lucky lady in the audience is going to go home with their numbers.” She pauses for a brief holler from the crowd before continuing again. “My boys are the hottest act in Baltimore, and when they come away with the win here I’ll let you all know where we’re having the victory party!”

    Tag Team Match

    15-Minute Time Limit

    kcT3xRv.jpg& AAnBpVr.jpgw/ n1afcJV.jpgvs UfvEqMG.jpg& dIN9Hsc.jpg

    • This was a decent back-and-forth affair from two teams who have unfortunately found themselves lost in the shuffle since losing the tag titles.

    • Lisa Bowen worked well at ringside and did a good job of engaging the crowd for her boys’ comeback, but her interactions with Ralph Liotta looked off, she seemed to overwhelm him slightly.

    • The Express showed great fire throughout especially in when Johnny Needham made the tag to Liotta but his offence was cut off by Seth Whitehead, who locked in his Minnesota stretch while Harvey Robbinfield kept Needham on the outside of the ring.

    • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, The Greatness defeated The Heartbreak Express in 7:58 when Seth Whitehead submitted Johnny Needham with a Minnesota Stretch.

    Singles Match

    15-Minute Time Limit

    A2rKr7a.jpgvs o5swv69.jpg

    • Trix Triumph brought the fight to Miller Fforde in a heated match in which Fforde was constantly checking his back for Josh Jacobs.

    • His lack of focus allowed Trix to take control several times throughout the match and looked in danger of losing once or twice.

    • However despite his strong showing he couldn’t get the job done as Trix found himself on the receiving end of the Fforde Flip Face Crusher and the defeat.

    • In a decent match, Miller Fforde defeated Trix Triumph in 7:59 by pinfall with a Fforde Flip Face Crusher.

    A young woman came down to the ring in a purple dress. She ascended the ring steps with a microphone in hand and approached the winner of the match Miller Fforde. She beamed at him and rose the microphone to her lips. “Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is DeAnna Desire and from this point on I will be the ringside interviewer here in Mid Atlantic Wrestling. And my first order of business is to ask you, Miller Fforde, what your reaction is to what Josh Jacobs said last month at Wrestling Classic?”

    Miller took the microphone form her hand to address the crowd. “My reaction? Josh is deluded. He’s taken one too many shots to the head and I guess losing his American title to a rookie from TCW just sent him over the edge. If he wants to claim to be the ‘heart and soul’ of the company he can have at it. Because actions speak louder than words and I prove to each and every one of you every night I’m out here that I do this for you.”

    “So do you have anything to say to Josh Jacobs? Maybe we’ll get to hear from him before the main event tonight.”

    “If you want a fight Josh, I’ll bring the fight.”

    With that Miller handed the microphone back to DeAnna and headed for backstage, slapping high fives with every kid in the front row on the way.

    Tag Team Match

    15-Minute Time Limit

    O6W2kJW.jpg& EhDllvy.jpgvs jai7S2E.jpg& fI3iMjC.jpg

    • The duo of Copperhead and Duke Freeman showed their lack of experience in this match as they failed to cooperate the same way the current Mid Atlantic Tag Team Champions did.

    • They did however show their tenacity in the match, with some hard brawling to strike back against the champs.

    • Unfortunately it wouldn’t be enough as DeMarcus & Gray hit Freeman with the Rocket Launcher, which followed by a dive to the outside by Gray onto Copperhead was enough to earn the victory for the champions.

    • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, DeMarcus & Gray defeated Copperhead and Duke Freeman in 9:32 when Nate DeMarcus pinned Duke Freeman with a Rocket Launcher.

    Sam Keith came out to the stage to announce that next month at Americana, Nate DeMarcus would be going one-on-one with Sean Noggin, and if Noggin wins, The Wolf Pack will receive a title match.

    Singles Match

    15-Minute Time Limit

    sBMuULS.jpgvs JGCK6lR.jpgw/ CkRqHlE.jpg

    • The Architect stood at ringside during this match and made his presence known at every given opportunity, even going so far as to thrown Frankie-Boy into the ring steps while Jonah Pilgrim distracted the referee.

    • Frakie-Boy fought back well with his patented high impact offence, hitting a handspring back elbow and a slingblade on Pilgrim.

    • In the closing stretch of the match Frankie-Boy nailed The Architect with a baseball slide dropkick to the outside before hitting Pilgrim with his Dirt Nap finisher.

    • In a decent match, Frankie-Boy Fernandes defeated Jonah Pilgrim in 11:37 by pinfall with a Dirt Nap.

    After the match, before the bell has even finished ringing The Architect jumped Frankie-Boy Fernandes. He laid in rapid fire rights and lefts to the body and head of Frankie-Boy. Frankie-Boy tried valiantly to fight back but once Jonah Pilgrim got back to his feet he had no chance. The villainous pair threw him over the ringside barricade and battered him around the whole ringside area before slamming him into the ring steps and leaving him. Frankie-Boy lay motionless, as the doctor ran past The Architect and Pilgrim on the way to help Frankie-Boy.

    On the way up the ramp the pair of The Architect and Pilgrim are met by Cheetah Boy who has a microphone in hand. “You’ve been avoiding me Arhchitect,” he began. “You won the Invitational, I commend you for that. But keep away from Bradley Blaze and my Mid Atlantic Championship. If you try to win it again. I will hurt you.” With that Cheetah Boy walked backwards away while The Architect and Pilgrim stood dumbfounded.

    Mid Atlantic American Championship Match

    Singles Match

    30-Minute Time Limit

    gYPF5yC.jpgvsnY8vgU8.jpg ©

    • This match saw a clash of two very different styles, as the high octane and explosive Jaylon Martins came up against the cerebral Sandman Winks.

    • Martins started off the match hot, going straight for his opponent in an attempt to neutralise him as quickly as possible.

    • Things did end up mirroring last month’s tag team match however, as as soon as Martins ran out of steam and Winks took control the result was a foregone conclusion as Martins found himself once again passing out in the Deep Sleep sleeper hold.

    • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Sandman Winks defeated Jaylon Martins in 9:56 by submission with a Deep Sleep. Sandman Winks wins the Mid Atlantic American title.

    Main Event

    Singles Match

    30-Minute Time Limit

    XWzjjdj.jpgvsS6XMtek.jpg

    • Josh Jacobs tried to turn this match into a technical masterclass, however the strength of the COTT World Champion Ant-Man allowed him to power out of many of Jacobs holds.

    • Jacobs shifted to using stiff strikes to wear down Ant-Man who utilised an impressive array of throws and suplexes from the opening bell.

    • Jacobs eventually showed his frustration by poking the eyes of Ant-Man to take control of the match.

    • Things finally ended when Ant-Man early bumped into the referee, allowing Jacobs to roll him up and grab a handful of tights where the referee couldn’t see it to get the win.

    • In a decent match, Josh Jacobs defeated Ant-Man in 20:17 by pinfall with a handful of tights.

    After the match Jacobs attacked Ant-Man with a low blow and kicked him while he was down. Miller Fforde came sprinting down the ramp to aid the COTT World Champion and tackled Jacobs to the floor. The pair rolled out of the ring together and brawled to the back to bring the show to a close.

    A/N:So that brings to a close the three MAW events run this side of the full release, gotta say I didn't think predictions would throw people the way they did but hey that's the joy of booking. So this month we had a four-way draw for first as Historian, Herrbear, lien02 and Sco xY2Jxall scored a 5/8 on the predictions, with Martel123 coming in at close second with 4/8. That means that for the first half 2020 Historian is still in the lead with 87.5% correct predictions and a three-way draw for second as Martel123, Herrbear and Sco xY2Jx all sit on 45.83% correct predictions. It's still all to play for in the 6-month race as one show could see somebody rocket up the prediction table.

     

    As always feedback and criticism are appreciated when constructive, and I will be messaging this month's winners about their prize, one worker from the diary to receive some narrative attention! If you read this before I message you feel free to either drop your choice here or PM them to me!

    Ursula K. Le Guin once wrote “We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?” This was a philosophy which Jay Fair lived by. He ensured to always be kind, gentle, brave even in the face of adversity. He found himself becoming a locker room leader long before he was handed the book in Mid Atlantic Wrestling, and he always believed in part that he was put in charge of booking because he was well-liked rather than a good booker. Jay fed Sam Keith and Mean Jean plenty of ideas prior to Jean leaving in 2014, but he never changed the game. In a sense, Jay felt he was less of a booker and more of a page turner. Sure he put the shows together but most guys went above him to Sam when they had a question. Sam would always tell them “Go ask Jay, I don’t book the shows”. He respected Jay’s authority, but everybody knew he had the real final say on everything.

     

    Tamara McFly was everything Jay wasn’t. She came from a wrestling family, she was a former wrestler and champion, she knew how to put a match together, she was well travelled, and she had connections in the industry. Jay knew he had to get her in to help with producing the shows and as much as she tried to present herself as a hard-ass, there was always a hint of a smile on her face when she thought nobody was looking.

     

    Jay didn’t have fears of being usurped. He could hand over booking duties to Tamara or anybody Sam brought in without much fuss. He knew he would be refereeing for Sam Keith until the day they both keeled over. And until that day Jay swore to himself he was going to continue to hold his hand out in the dark. Every worker had his number, in case they ever needed him for anything. Marvin would occasionally call to ask about Susan. Some of the younger guys would ask him about potential indie bookings, the very young guys would warn him of impending deadlines and finals. Those circumstances in which one of America’s bright-eyed youths would be unable to successfully work a wrestling card. And of course Tamara McFly continued to text him at least a half-dozen times throughout the day. Storyline ideas, business ventures, marketing ploys. For a woman who insisted she wouldn’t show up at every show she managed to put in exactly as much work as Jay in putting them together.

     

    Jay Fair. Happily married. Booking one of the most well-renowned companies on the American independent scene. Content with his lot in life.

     

    A/N:Hey all this is just a little something I wanted to put together since I feel we haven't heard from Jay in a while. Anybody who is

    yet to predict or wants to change their predictions will have until tomorrow evening my time (GMT) to get that in. Stay safe everybody and feedback is always appreciated either here or in PMs if you don't want to say it on the thread :D

  14. <p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>TopRopeElbow.com presents Mid Atlantic Wrestling Super Showdown 2020 Card!</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Hello all, Ricky Gibbons here to give you the rundown on this month's Super Showdown card. My personal pick for match of the night is going to have to go to Miller Fforde vs Trix Triumph. Fforde is one of the most reliable guys on the indies and Trix has been working twice as hard since the end of last year to make a real name for himself in MAW.</p><p> </p><p> It is interesting to see a lack of names from the new developmental signings on the show although it is possible that they will be saved and given more staggered debuts throughout the year. </p><p> </p><p> And as reported previously Brad Blaze will not be appearing on the show in any capacity. He has said on social media that he is back in Texas taking care of his sick father, but did lay down a challenge for any champion in a Confederation company to challenge him for his Mid Atlantic Championship at Americana. It's always good to see a fighting champ!
