SWF Supreme TV Results [Tue. Wk. 4, Apr. 2020] From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy The final April episode of Supreme TV was held in the historic Friedman Building in Texas, once again hitting that 10.000 fan attendance mark to sell out the venue. 6.239.066 viewers watched it live on TV or the Supreme Network and without getting too much ahead of myself, I should say given the content, it was absolutely worth it. Marshall Dillon vs Robbie Wright The opener pitted Texas’ own Marshall Dillon against the former SWF North American title contender in Robbie Wright and with Dillon getting the hometown chants, it was fun to see Robbie play up his frustration for not getting cheered despite being “The King of Charisma”. I should say though, Robbie managed to get a much better match out of Dillon than many others have in the past and it was very entertaining to watch, all the way to the finish where he got flattened with the Crackdown for the pin. Strong start to the show and Dillon was even given a few minutes of TV time to celebrate with his people before the first commercial break. Solid 73 for the opening contest. When we came back, Mikey Lau was in Eric Eisen’s office. The Dragon wasn’t happy at all with Eric’s arrangements as of late regarding the SWF World Heavyweight title situation and voiced his frustrations, especially at him not being in the mix after he was screwed out of his opportunity, while cheaters like Hollywood Bret Starr or Des Davids who was the perpetrator ended up getting rewarded with a chance at gold. Eric attempted to bullshit his way out of it, but Mikey wasn’t having any of that and warned Easy E that there would be consequences for this, before he stormed out of his office to end an exciting angle I marked down as an 83. John Greed & Justin Sensitive vs Lenny Brown & Steven Parker This was a bit of a slog to sit through, if I’m honest, which mostly has to do with booking and presentation rather than match quality per se. The action was great, but it feels like Rat Pack matches are all the same with interference while Lenny and Steven have been struggling with a bit of start/stop booking instead of a proper push. I was watching this just waiting for the inevitable, but I was pleasantly surprised with how the script was flipped on this occasion. Sure enough Fame & Money came out for the distraction or interference, but Mikey Lau intercepted to take them out before they could get involved, making good on his promise earlier. This was enough to throw Greed and Sensitive off, which in turn allowed Brown to knock Greed off the apron while Parker hit the Future Shock on Sensitive for the pin. Somewhat refreshing, I won’t lie, 68 though is as good as this match can get. Joey Morgan had a few words to say next, assuring fans he’s good to go but the doctors won’t clear him just yet. He spoke of Unleashed Awesomeness and cut a scathing promo on them, promising to be the one who’ll end their run of terror in SWF that’s seen all the beloved veterans get swarmed by this pack of jackals. Something was a little off if I’m honest, so I’ll leave this at 63. w/w/ James Adams (with Ekuma) vs Primus Allen (with Bear Bekowski) Pretty much a teaser of the upcoming tag titles match at the pay per view, this was still a great contest between the high flying Hawaiian and the supremely athletic Allen. Very open and competitive, it went on for almost eighteen minutes with minimal interference, which in turn allowed the competitors to showcase their skill without a lot of sports entertainment shenanigans to distract from the core product. I’m hyped for the upcoming match and I even think both guys seem to have a future as singles stars if they choose to, 77 and a win for Allen with a huge Running Powerslam. Of course, you had the post-match brawl after the end of the bout and some folks might have noticed Spencer Spade wasn’t around. So was Sylvester Weatherfield, though I’m told that’s because he’s been relegated to Monday’s Elite show. Anyway, Spade showed up hopping on one leg, which I found out was because of an ankle injury he suffered at Uprising wrestling Mikey Lau. In theory, that should have provided the Supreme Dream Team with the numbers advantage, but there wasn’t much Spade could do on one leg and instead he ended up getting powerbombed through a table, courtesy of Ekuma. Props to Dulce Moreno too, who sold it like it killed him. Spot popped the crowd and the champions looked good, I’m curious to see if this angle will be further invoked in the bubbling Spade-Allen feud. For now, a decent 71 for the segment seems fair. With Hannah by his side as usual, Valiant cut a promo next on former partner turned nemesis Rogue and how he’s been manipulating Atom Smasher, but his words got cut short when he was attacked by the Crippler. Looks like the man hasn’t forgotten about Valiant’s involvement when he tried to cripple Mainstream Hernandez a few weeks ago and the follow-up match between them wasn’t the end of things. Also looks like this storyline is getting more twisted, with more people and incidents getting caught up in its web. Super curious to see where this is going, the angle did what it was supposed to do and deserves its rating of 86. I like how each episode is now regularly investing a few minutes before each main event to hype next week’s stuff, so this time we’ll be tuning into Uprising to watch Marshall Dillon address ZWB, The Mission and the SWF North American title after he beat Robbie Wright, there will be some insight into Mikey Lau’s plan and completely out of the blue, Krissy Angelle, who is banned from ringside in tonight’s main event, mind you, has an announcement to make. Triple Threat for a shot at the SWF World Heavyweight championship Anyone interfering will be fired on the spot Des Davids vs Hollywood Bret Starr vs Rocky Golden Another PPV-level match headlining an episode of weekly TV and I must say, the no interference stipulation was a good call as it allowed the three wrestlers to focus on the in-ring action to deliver a banger. Absolute banger, best match this company has put together since Golden beat RBB at When Hell Freezes Over back in January. As you would expect, the heels teamed up against the former title holder early on, with Rocky getting the chants while selling until he just couldn’t push through anymore. Starr turned on Davids to keep things going and almost scored a sneaky pin that Rocky barely broke up, then things began alternating between combinations of the participants, with a few three man spots thrown in for good measure. I was shocked when Rocky got Starr on his shoulders for the Rack and instead of proceeding with his submission finisher, attempted to stack Davids on top for a double whammy. Would have been spectacular, but Des is a big man and Rocky had taken a lot of punishment in the twenty or so minutes that had gone by, so he buckled under the weight and rolled out of the ring. Seeing his chance, Davids pounced on the still dazed Starr to hit the Quarterback Sack and score the pinfall, making him the one to wrestle Remo at Master of Puppets for the SWF World Heavyweight title. Great stuff, 89 for the main event. Remo’s reaction was immediate though and just as the show was about to go off the air, he ran down the ring to assault Davids, thus cementing his challenger’s face turn. Babyface Des versus heel Remo for the strap? Hell yeah! Fans loved this and Davids is already getting a ton of cheers, so I’d say everything has been executed well in regards to his turn, 86 for this final angle. I had to double check my notes when I saw this episode was rated 85 overall. That’s one higher than The World Is Watching, and we’re comparing a TV episode to a Pay Per View. If SWF have been trying to restructure and regain ground for the last few months, this tells me they’re back on track and gunning to reclaim the status they had at the start of the year. If nothing else, should make for a very interesting second half of the year. Quick results Marshall Dillon def. Robbie Wright Lenny Brown & Stephen Parker def.

Sendai, Japan. Second Thursday of February 2020 Moments after the end of WQ2020 Attempted Murder Having worked the opening match this time, I had the luxury of hanging out backstage and watching the rest of the matches from there. While doing so, I couldn't help but think this was a bad case of "beware what you name your show". Deathmatch wrestling comes with its fair share of injuries on top of the overall wear and tear, but I had two bad ones in my hands and it felt especially bad after being spared of any major damage during our big show. As the girls gathered round for the debrief, I noticed several accusing stares directed towards Widow. Mizucore had already been helped out of the building and sent to the hospital, so as much as I wanted to praise her for being a trooper and completing her match, I couldn't. Instead, damage control was in order. "I wanna make one thing clear" I began, after I'd congratulated everyone for their night's work. "Mizu deserves mad props for finishing her match, but we all know she still sucks at wrestling. Widow here is a pro with a decade of experience to her name. She carried that match and she is not the one to blame for the injury. I don't want any of you to give her a hard time because of tonight and I certainly don't want to hear you come up to me in the future and refuse to work with her on grounds of safety concerns, alright?" I then motioned Fujiko to step forward. Maneater was still seated nearby and checked on by the doctor, who was doing that weird thing of shining a light into her eye and asking her questions. "I'm told we have a possible concussion in our hands. If Mizucore deserves praise for working her match with a blown quad, Maneater does too for taking the bumps she did despite the brain injury, because she's that awesome. I know that table spot wasn't the fault of either of you, so I hope there's no hard feelings between you, okay? I'll see you all next month."

DUMMA 2: Ueda vs Spark Sunday, Week 4 of February 2002, Victoria, Australia Preliminary matches - Manami Ken beat Hoshi Kogo via Submission (RNC) [Good] - Wilson Morais beat Francisco “Frankie Boy” Jimenez via Knock Out (Punch) [Good] Knock Out of the Night - Maja “The Warrior” Ukraden beat Shiho Konno via Unanimous Decision [Great] - Tiago da Paixao beat Leo Carlos Goulart via Split Decision [Decent] - Hamilton Fonseca Junior beat “The Man of Steel” Marko Procazka via Unanimous Decision [ Decent] - Wenderson de Oliveira beat Leandro Bastos via Submission (Armbar) [Great] Submission of the Night - Datsakorn “Lefty” Pratoomwong beat “Mr. Fruity Shorts” Joseph King via TKO (Strikes) [Good] Middleweight “The Human Takedown Machine” Drew Jenks (#12CR, 0-0, 10-3) vs Pip Mercurial (#19CR, 0-0, 8-2) Mercurial comes to the fight with a 6” reach advantage. With both fighters specializing in grappling, this might be eliminated once they’re on the mat though. Round one begins and they come together in a clinch. Mercurial aggressively gets to a dominant position, looking to muscle Jenks back against the cage but can't do it though, Jenks defended it well. Jenks then is trying to push Mercurial so that his back is up against the cage but doesn't manage it either, Mercurial defended it well. The two exchange attempts for a while and eventually, it is Mercurial who manages it and controls Jenks up against the cage by the halfway mark of this round. He then uses dirty boxing to punish Jenks while he is pressed up against the cage. Trapped against the cage, Jenks eats two short left uppercuts and a ton of dirty boxing until he wrestles his way out of trouble and manages to turn it around so that Mercurial ends up backed against the cage instead but time is up, and that's the end of round one. Round number two begins and seeing his opponent about to shoot in, Jenks timed it well and moved in to start a clinch. With control of the clinch, he tries to complete a takedown but Mercurial blocks the attempt by keeping a solid base. More wrestling as both men try to muscle each other against the cage, Mercurial is the one who pulls it off as once again, we hit the middle of the round. Mercurial smothers Jenks against the cage, then scores with a left to the side of the stomach and a few right hands via some dirty boxing. With one minute left to go, Jenks takes a short left uppercut but out-wrestles hist opponent to switch them around so that he is in the dominant position. Unable to break free, Mercurial is smothered up against the cage and the two men exchange close-quarters punches until the round ends. As round three kicks off, Mercurial comes in, looking for a takedown. He completes it too, Jenks is now on his back and pulls guard. Mercurial smothers Jenks with his body by pushing forward and down and throws a few right hands as he takes a moment to plan ahead. Another punch misses its target and Jenks is held down until the smothering is so much that the referee brings the fighters back to their feet. Mercurial is starting to slow down a touch, perhaps conserving a little energy as the two fighters get up close and start wrestling for position. Mercurial looks like he has gotten the better of the clinch and looking to muscle Jenks back against the cage, but Jenks doesn't let himself be driven back though. Instead, he tries the same thing and has Mercurial pinned to the cage, but with one second left on the timer he barely manages to take a shot. Official Result: Pip Mercurial defeats 'The Human Takedown Machine' Drew Jenks via Unanimous Decision [Very Poor] Post-fight Interview: “Julio Gutierrez, step into the cage with me and I’ll destroy you!” Featherweight Gonzalo “The Gangsta” Ramos (#5CR, 0-0, 7-1) vs “The Bruiser from Belfast” Liam O’Donnell (#11CR, 0-0, 9-4) Ever the bad boy, Ramos ignores the offer of a touch of gloves. The fighters go toe-to-toe with strikes but the flurry ends without any really damaging shots landing. Ramos is the first to gain an edge as he slips past a right hook attempt and attacks with quick jabs that are followed by a solid right hand. In the follow up exchange, he counters a right hand with a few quick jabs that are followed by a right cross. O'Donnell throws a hopeful shot well into the second half of the round but he misses with a big right hand, allowing Ramos to counter with a couple of jabs that are followed by a big right hand that just misses. Ramos then lands a left jab but has a right hand blocked. O'Donnell responds with a left jab but misses with a right hook to the ribs and the two fighters slug it out until the timer expires. Start of round two and again, the fighters go toe-to-toe with strikes but the flurry ends without any really damaging shots landing. Ramos dodges a right hand and counter-attacks with a sequence of jabs that are followed by a solid right hand. He also gets to counter when O'Donnell misses a right cross, throwing a sequence of quick jabs that are followed by a right hook that is ducked. Ramos then counters a right hand with a couple of jabs that are followed by a left hook to the ribs. He's looking completely in control but just can't land that one big shot to end it. O'Donnell doesn't connect with a left jab but scores with a desperate right hook. Lightning fast, Ramos attacks with four quick punches, landing two of them before scoring with a right hook before the end of the round. Last round, O'Donnell needs a finish if he hopes to take this. Once again though, the striking exchange sees Ramos come on top as he dodges a right hand and counter-attacks with a few quick left jabs that are followed by a right cross. O'Donnell is off target with a left jab but hits a left to the body. Ramos goes for speed again as he attacks with three quick punches and lands two of them but doesn't connect with a right hand to the body. Halfway point of this round and it seems like Ramos is going to take this via judge decision. O'Donnell misses a right hook and leaves himself open to be countered with a left jab and a big right hand that just misses. With less than a minute left, the two fighters trade strikes. Ramos dodges a right hand and counter-attacks with a sequence of jabs that are followed by a right hook, but it's not enough to drop O'Donnell and the timer runs out. Official Result: Gonzalo 'The Gangsta' Ramos defeats 'The Bruiser From Belfast' Liam O'Donnell via Unanimous Decision [Good] Post-fight Interview: “Who I wanna fight next? Gu Ueda! Any time, any place. He better win that title tonight, because I’m going to embarrass him and take it for myself!” Welterweight Joe “The Hitman” Hinchcliffe (#3CR, 0-0, 26-13) vs Bart “Throwdown” Diggs (#13CR, 0-0, 10-4) The two American kickboxers meet, with the veteran Hinchcliffe as the favourite. Diggs is looking to defy the odds and put his 35 year old opponent out to pasture. We start with a respectful touch of gloves. Diggs comes forward to attack and moves inside, into the pocket, looking to pressure Hinchcliffe. He fails to land any of the strikes in a combo that ended with an attempted head kick, but he confidently comes forward again, walking down Hinchcliffe, who hits two left hands on the counter. Diggs fails to land any of the strikes in a combo that ended with a scything low kick, again he stalks forward, pressuring Hinchcliffe who hits a jab in the exchange. There's a pattern here and Hinchcliffe sees it: Diggs hits a left hand but Hinchcliffe dodges the leg kick that follows and slips past a right hook to counter with a jab and a low kick of his own. We've passed the halfway mark in this round and Hinchcliffe looks to push back as he hits a jab but can't hit a right cross. Diggs is off target with a left jab but scores with a left kick to the body. In the final sixty seconds of this round, Diggs hits a left hand, Hinchcliffe hits a glancing blow with a high kick and has a right hook blocked. Final chance, Diggs misses a jab and also misses with a low kick, bell rings to end a rather boring first round. Round two begins and immediately Diggs scores with a left hook. Hinchcliffe misses a jab in the response but nails a right cross. The fighters exchange strikes with nothing significant landing for the first half of the round, then Diggs misses an ambitious head kick attempt to be countered with a quick left jab and a left hook to the ribs. Hinchcliffe misses with a head kick attempt of his own and gets countered with a kick to the lead leg. He counters the short body kick that follows with a kick to the lead leg, then they reset in the middle. Diggs doesn't connect with a left jab but hits a right cross, Hinchcliffe lands a nice right hook and round two is brought to an end as time runs out. The final round begins and the two fighters engage. Diggs misses with a big right hand, allowing Hinchcliffe to counter with a jab and a right hand that narrowly fails to connect. A right cross from Diggs leaves him open to the counter. Hinchcliffe attacks with a left jab and a great right hook. He is comfortably winning the exchanges so far in this fight, it's clear a stand-up striking battle is doing Diggs no favours. Hinchcliffe is off-target with a jab and also is well off target with a head kick, Diggs has a right hand blockedand in the following burst of strikes neither fighter can land a blow. Lot of dodging as Hinchcliffe doesn't connect with a left jab and also misses a right hook, while Diggs is off target with a left jab and also has a right hand taken on the gloves. Hinchcliffe then slips past a right hook attempt and attacks with a jab and a quick kick to the lead leg. After trading leather for a bit, Hinchcliffe tries to end it with a lucky high kick but is wide of the mark. Diggs can't exploit the opening to counter though, he doesn't connect with a left jab and also doesn't connect with a right hand. Hinchcliffe tries again with an off-target jab and also doesn't get a leg kick, Diggs misses both a jab and a low kick, the time expires on round three, and that is the end of the fight. Official Result: Joe 'The Hitman' Hinchcliffe defeats Bart 'Throwdown' Diggs via Unanimous Decision [Average] Women’s Flyweight Kyoko Junna (#4CR, #8WR, #20PFP 0-0, 8-1) vs Maria “Fine Frenzy” Ferraz (#9CR, #23WR, 0-0, 6-1) The two fighters spend the first half minute trading strikes to no effect, until Junna uses a left jab to create an opening but doesn't find the mark with a right hook. Ferraz nails a great left hook in response and it seems to do wonders for her morale. Junna is the aggressor once again, she scores with a jab but has a right hand taken on the gloves as Ferraz then lands a right jab and a left cross. Blood is visible on Junna, a strike appears to to have opened up a nasty cut on the scalp! Twenty seconds left, Junna lands a left jab and a right cross, this time Ferraz misses with a right jab but immediately corrects course with a great left hook. Time expires and we come to the end of an exciting round one. The cut man goes to work between rounds trying to patch up Junna. Round two begins and both fighters come together. Junna misses a right hook and gets countered with a massive left hook to the jaw! She's down! Junna falls to the floor! Ferraz starts pounding away on Junna, looking to finish her off! Ferraz pounds away, Junna is barely able to offer any defence at all! Referee Michael Robertson jumps in and saves Junna from taking any more shots! Official Result: Maria 'Fine Frenzy' Ferraz defeats Kyoko Junna via TKO (Strikes) in 0:26 of round 2 [Great] Post-fight Interview: “I am the first lady of Brazilian MMA. Give me Rennata Reyes and I’ll prove it.” Lightweight “Cyber Punk” Hubert Channing (#5CR, 0-0, 7-1) vs Sebastian “The Bruiser” Fernandez (#7CR, 0-0, 8-2) Charismatic green-haired brawler Hubert Channing has fans on his side tonight, but the odds favour Fernandez and having a 5” reach advantage on top of it doesn’t hurt his chances. An offer to touch gloves is completely ignored by Channing, is he playing mind games or is he just that cocky? The two fighters engage, Channing misses with a left jab but hits a kick to the lead leg. Fernandez is then off-target with a jab but connects cleanly with a right hand. The two combatants meet in the center and start to strike, looking for the edge in the fight. Fernandez misses with a big right hand, allowing Channing to counter with a left jab and a right cross. Fernandez has a large gash on his forehead, blood is starting to trickle down toward his eyes! Tentative strikes are exchanged for the next twenty seconds, until Channing dodges a right hand and counter-attacks with a right cross. His next right hand gets blocked but he's quick to get back on defence, Fernandez misses with a left counter jab and also has a right hook blocked before round one ends. In between rounds, the cut man tries to stop the bleeding of Fernandez. Bell rings for the start of round two and both fighters meet in the center. Fernandez misses a big right hand, putting him off balance and allowing Channing to attack with a good right hook. He tries to recover lost ground with a left jab but misses the follow up right hook, then Channing shows him how it's done when he lands a one-two. For the next fifteen to twenty seconds nothing big happens in the striking exchange, then Channing finds a good angle to land a nice one-two while Fernandez hits a left jab and also nails a right cross. It seems the second half of the round will have nothing more than minor strikes back and forth, but Channing has a rush of inspiration in the final minute: he dodges a right hand and counter-attacks with a left hand, then slips past a right hook attempt to attack with a jab and a right hand. Third time's the charm, Channing slips past a right hook attempt and attacks with a quick left hook that has Fernandez bleeding again from just above his hairline, the strike re-opened his wound. Can't convert it into a finish though, time is up and that's the end of round two. The cut man goes to work between rounds trying to patch up Fernandez. And here we go, one last round! Neither fighter manages to find the target in the first thirty seconds, then Channing finds a good angle and lands a nice one-two. Fernandez answers with a jab and also connects cleanly with a right hand, but he's clearly slowing just a little as he starts to get into the gas tank a bit. Channing looks to take advantage and scores with a quick left hook, but Fernandez is sharp as ever and scores with a great right hook of his own. The Mexican fighter then misses a right hook and gets countered with a jab and merely a glancing blow from a high kick. From the halfway point and into the final sixty seconds of this round, there's a stalemate as both fighters throw but fail to land a hit. In the last thirty seconds, Fernandez scores with a jab but doesn't connect with a right hand, while Channing is on point with a two-punch combination, a quick left and a straight right. Fernandez lands a weak final attempt left jab but has a right hand taken on the gloves, then time runs out and that's the end of the fight. Official Result: 'Cyber Punk' Hubert Channing defeats Sebastian 'The Bruiser' Fernandez via Unanimous Decision [Good] Post-fight Interview: “You know, I'd happily kick Chad Zoff’s ass for free, but if I can make money doing it, all the better.” Heavyweight Felipe Ruiz Rosa (#5CR, 0-0, 13-9) vs Ilson da Lima (#7CR, 0-0, 18-9) Former FLB fighter Felipe Ruiz Rosa faces fellow Brazilian competitor Ilson da Lima, who has a distinct weight advantage on him. Whether that will boost his stopping power or allow him to bully Rosa around remains to be seen. They start with a touch of gloves. and exchange a few strikes but nothing significant lands. de Lima is the first to score something decent when he lands two left hands in the exchange and although Rosa throws a two-punch combo in response, de Lima avoids both. The two combatants reset in the center and start to strike. This time Rosa scores with a jab but doesn't find the mark with a right hook. An impressive de Lima scores with a jab and also lands a nice high roundhouse kick. Rosa was rocked by that last shot! He backs away until up against the cage, covering up, but looks very unsteady! A brutal right hand lands! Rosa slumps against the cage for a second, then collapses to the floor! de Lima senses victory and starts to unload with punches! de Lima pounds away with right hands and Rosa is having trouble doing anything about it! Referee Chad Appleseed jumps in and saves Rosa from taking any more shots! Official Result: Ilson de Lima defeats Felipe Luiz Rosa via TKO (Strikes) in 1:32 of round 1 [Good] Post-fight Interview: “Big thanks to my fans and sponsors for getting me here. I’d be up for a challenge in my next fight, Sly Twinge is a tough pick that’s on top of my list.” Women’s Bantamweight Junko Yamada (#5CR, #18WR, 0-0, 8-1) vs Katarzyna “Killer” Wojchiechowska (#6CR, #23WR, 0-0, 7-1) Both fighters come together and strike. Wojciechowska lands a left jab but misses with a low kick, Yamada uses a left jab for the set up but fails to land a body kick. She's lucky though because Wojciechowska misses a big right hand, putting her off balance and allowing Yamada to attack with a brace of jabs that are followed by a good right hand. Pressing her advantage, Yamada dodges a right hand and counter-attacks with a quick left hook. It's a reversal of roles next as she's the one to miss a big right hand, putting her off balance and allowing Wojciechowska to attack with a quick left jab but the follow up head kick is off-target. Anothe miss has Yamada off balance and Wojciechowska attacks with a jab and a glancing blow from a high kick. Yamada misses a couple of jabs but scores with a left hook to the side of the body. Wojciechowska uses a left jab and also hits a left roundhouse kick to the body. She then misses a jab but hits a right hand, while Yamada misses a jab but hits a good right hand. Time expires and we come to the end of round one. Round two begins, the two fighters engage with strikes but neither can land a significant shot. Wojciechowska misses a jab but lands a right hook, Yamada lands a one-two but misses a body kick attempt and allows Wojciechowska to move in with a left jab and a right hook that is ducked.Wojciechowska lets another body kick sail wide and then counters with a quick left jab and a right cross. Yamada hits a left hand but Wojciechowska hits a left jab and also nails a vicious right cross! Yamada hits the mat, that shot has rocked her! Wojciechowska moves in quickly, kneeling beside Yamada and starting to hammer down with punches! Wojciechowska fires away with punches and Yamada is taking powerful shot after powerful shot! With Yamada taking a beating, the referee has to stop the fight! Official Result: Katarzyna 'Killer' Wojciechowska defeats Junko Yamada via TKO (Strikes) in 2:03 of round 2 [Great] Post-fight Interview: “I have a lot of respect for Katy-Jane Paulson’s skills from what I saw last month. I think me and her would make for a great fight.” Light Heavyweight Adrian “The Missing Link” Swall (#6CR, 0-0, 9-1) vs Volker Herzog (Unranked, 0-0, 7-2) Home field advantage, weight advantage, bookers on his side, Adrian Swall is looking to win this fight. The pressure is on him to do it and do so in dominant fashion. He comes forward, willing to take a few shots as long as he can get close enough to wrestle. Herzog lands a jab and then catches Swall with a right hook. He can't connect with his set-up strikes, but then lands a right hand. Swall had looked like he was angling to grapple, but couldn't take the initiative. Herzog throws a punch but Swall avoids it. The German closes the distance, obviously looking to strike and although Swall looked like he was going to step in and grapple, Herzog simply took the initiative first with a one-two, but Swall was equal to it. Still trying for the grapple, Swall appears to be going to try and get in close, but Herzog took the initiative first once more. He can't hit a set-up left jab, but then catches Swall with a crunching right hook! Doesn't knock Swall down though and the follow up one-two from Herzog fails to land. Swall takes his chance and is finally able to grab Herzog. Using his wrestling skills, Swall controls Herzog up against the cage. He is trapped and Swall hits him with a short left uppercut and a knee strike to the thigh. Controlled up against the cage, Herzog takes a few right hands via some dirty boxing, gets smothered and then hit with a quick elbow strike as round one is brought to an end when time runs out. Swall, the heavy favourite, would not have expected the first round to go like that; he looks a little dazed. We are back underway, Swall comes forward, willing to take a few shots as long as he can get close enough to wrestle. Herzog throws a one-two, but Swall was equal to it and is able to grab Herzog. He tries to take him down and although it's ugly as sin, it's effective and Herzog does end up on the ground. He is turtled up on his hands and knees, Swall on top and facing him. Swall fires away and Herzog is eating powerful shot after powerful shot! The referee has no option but to leap in and stop the fight! Official Result: Adrian 'The Missing Link' Swall defeats Volker Herzog via TKO (Strikes) in 0:57 of round 2) [Great] Post-fight Interview: “I think me and Jon Silvers would make for a great match up, I have a lot of respect for what he brings to the table and I’d like to face him in front of these wonderful fans.” DUMMA Featherweight title match Gu “Sifu” Ueda (#1CR, 0-0, 21-11) vs Graeme “Sparky” Spark (#2CR, 0-0, 7-1) The veteran Ueda has a 5” reach advantage going for him, but at 39 years of age, he is actually considered the underdog here against Spark. If he can’t score a quick win, stamina might be his ultimate downfall. Round one begins and Ueda closes the distance, obviously looking to strike. Spark had looked like he was angling to grapple, but couldn't take the initiative. Showing good hand speed, Ueda lands five out of a flurry of five punches and then catches Spark with a right hook to the body. Another quick flurry of punches from Ueda sees three of three hit home and then hits Spark with a straight right. Ueda confidently comes in closer after these salvoes and while ) Spark looked like he was going to shoot, Ueda simply took the initiative first. Two jabs hit home from Ueda and then he hits a nice straight right. We are now at the halfway point of the round and Ueda has been dominating the fight so far. He connects with two left jabs, but Spark avoids a nasty big right. Into the final minute of the roun, there's a takedown attempt from Spark at last. Spark has the takedown! Ueda pulls half guard. Spark hits a fast elbow strike to the head and Ueda appears to have suffered a gash under his eye! Spark pounds away, but Ueda isn't troubled by the strikes as time expires. The cut man tries to stop the bleeding for Ueda in between rounds. Spark shoots in for a takedown as soon as round two begins and pulls it off to get side control from it. Spark is trying to move from side control to mount but he can't get the mount as Ueda rolls away to stop it, but he does take his back instead. Spark attempts to get a rear naked choke fully applied but Ueda doesn't allow the arm to go under his chin and tries to get Spark off his back. Ueda turns Spark over and gets free, they both end up scrambling back to their feet. Spark shoots in once more, looking for a takedown. He drives forward with a double leg takedown attempt, Ueda is swept off his feet and backward! Ueda winds up seated, his back to the cage, with Spark pressing onto him. Impressive wrestling from Spark, he has completed every takedown that he has attempted so far. Spark begins trying to get himself into a more dominant position and he is much too good for Ueda, he gets the mount! Spark elbows away, landing a couple that clearly rock Ueda! Saved by the bell, round two ends as time expires. And here we go, round three! Ueda connects with two left hands and then catches Spark with a right hook. He's learned his lesson and looks to avoid takedowns using his striking prowess to keep Spark at bay. Ueda comes in fast with four quick punches, landing three of them, but misses when he attempts to go to the body after. His confidence boosted, Ueda moves in closer, looking to throw some strikes. A flurry of three punches see three of them land and then he lands a right hand to the body. He is starting to slow down a touch however, perhaps conserving a little energy. Pinpoint accuracy from Ueda with a flurry of four punches, all of which connect before he hits a nice straight right. Spark appeared to be going to try and get in close, but Ueda took the initiative first, good defence against Spark's wrestling. Another burst of offence from Ueda, three punches land and he then catches Spark with a right hook to the body. He took the shot to take closer, there's a takedown attempt from Spark. Big double leg takedown, Spark was far too fast and powerful for Ueda to resist! Ueda ends up sitting, his legs trapped under Spark, with his back pressed against the cage, he hasn't stopped a single takedown yet. Spark pounds away on Ueda but doesn't do much damage, then tries to put him into a guillotine choke. Spark gets the guillotine fully applied, but the round comes to an end! So close, once again! We are back underway for round four! Ueda looks aggressive, he lands a jab and then hits Spark with a straight right. Four of four in the next quick punches from Ueda, topped with a right hand to the body. Spark withstands the onslaught though and shoots in, looking for a takedown. Another successful takedown, he almost gets side control but has to settle for half guard. Spark attempts to pass half guard on the mat and he gains side control, throwing a few right hands, but he is mainly trying to catch his breath. Spark tries to lock Ueda into an arm triangle, but it's blocked. Spark drives down with an elbow strike, rocking Ueda but again, the timer runs out. He's been close to ending this fight on so many occasions! There's the bell for the start of the final round! Both fighters come together and strike. Spark misses a right cross that leaves him open to the counter. Ueda attacks with a brace of jabs that are followed by a right hook that is ducked. Stamina is becoming an issue for Ueda now, he clearly has to push himself now and his corner respond by urging him on a little louder. A jab is wide from Ueda, but then he lands a big right hand. Moving in, Spark appears willing to risk getting hit if it means he can get close enough to initiate some grappling. Ueda can't connect with his set-up strikes, but then scores with a right cross. Spark has been cut above his hairline, blood is trickling down! Breathing very hard, Ueda is looking ragged and Spark is able to get hold of him without taking too much damage. He muscles Ueda back first onto the cage and they remain there, hitting each other with short punches, for about a minute. More short punches to the body are exchanged until the round ends. Official Result: Graeme 'Sparky' Spark defeats Gu 'Sifu' Ueda for the DUMMA Featherweight title via Unanimous Decision [Excellent] Post-fight Interview: “I almost had him but the timer went off, it’s not the decisive win I was hoping for but I’m still happy to get the win and entertain the fans with such an unreal fight.” Fight of the Night

The Black Widow character (not to be confused with Black Widow) is played by Zofia Jankovich. I'm using a different portrait though, not sure if it's originally supposed to be Karen Killer or Karen Bilous.

I dunno, I started a WMMA5 diary the other day and put it in the WMMA5 part of the forums. Never crossed my mind to have it with the wrestling ones, figured if someone wants to read an MMA diary, they'd look up the MMA sub-section. That said, I'm not against a merged version.

Somehow forgot to subscribe to the thread after posting my first predictions. Fixed now. OPENER SINGLES, ONE FALL "DETROIT'S OWN" BASH STREET VS EL LOCAL Pop for the hometown guy in a squash. Digging the El Local name tho. GRUDGE MATCH SINGLES, ONE FALL DANGER MAN VS PRIME TIME JACK PRYDE Jack is clearly groomed for bigger things. D-man is clearly a job guy. MMW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TAG TEAM, ONE FALL THE HOT TAGGS VS LION HEART AND PEPPER PELTON Gonna be Pepper and various guys for a while, then? Cool. I'm secretly hoping to see a specific guy that I've paired him up with in RIPW MAIN EVENT MMW CHAMPIONSHIP TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS "THE SAVAGE BEAST" JAVA w/GIANT REDWOOD VS "PRETTY BOY" OZZIE GOLDSTEIN w/DREADNOUGHT Feels it could go either way, but it also feels like a story that can be stretched out, so calling a draw here

Attempted Murder Thursday, Week 2 of February 2020 Sendai, Tohoku Region, 518 fans in attendance Casket Deathmatch "The Spirit of Vengeance" Onryo vs Kitsune Danger Me and Onryo kicked off the show with a Casket Deathmatch. You know, her being a spirit of vengeance from beyond the grave, me being the unkillable deathmatch machine that I am... not sure if that came across or if it's too deep of a connection for our audience to make. Anyway, we kicked each other's butts around for about ten minutes and it's a good thing I wrestle in a mask because given how sloppy my partner was being, when she took that DDT onto the bed of nails and landed in the angle she did, I was legitimately scared some spike might have impaled her brain. Not to be outdone of course, I had placed some barb wire on the casket's lid, some light tubes inside it and Onryo on them, then hit a no hands flip over the top rope onto the lid for what I'd call "a death sandwich" to win the match. It was a huge moment that popped the crowd and I won the match to get some heat back after my main event title loss to Mushashibo last month, all is well in Warrior Queen land. Rating: 52 Individual performances: Danger 60, Onryo 31 Tables Deathmatch Naoko "Mad Dog" Majima vs Róisín Gross Ross nearly killed herself as a backyard wrestler when she jumped off a roof and went through a table, so of course I introduced her in a deathmatch where you could only win by putting your opponent through a table. Majima was a sight to behold here, an avatar of fury, blood and death as she unloaded everything she had, including a literal kitchen sink, on her opponent. Gross had her own big moment when she had Majima hung over the barricade, trapped her head in a chair and flew off the top rope to the outside with a guillotine leg drop. Looked nasty, but I bet it didn't feel as bad as Róisín's ass hitting the unprotected floor after the move. She was clearly stumbling about after that spot and Majima eventually tackled her against a table set up on a corner to win the match. Rating: 51 Individual performances: Majima 55, Gross 43 Remember how I hate all that idol kawaii crap that joshi wrestling has become? Well so does a good chunk of our audience, so putting a member of the divisive J-pop/metalcore group Kawaiicore out there to perform a song was a sure-fire way to get Mizucore some heat before her match. Rating: 47 Mizucore vs The Black Widow You can imagine how, by this point, fans wanted to see The Black Widow absolutely murder Mizucore and this didn't even have to be a deathmatch to achieve it. The booking obliged, making this an absolute squash to satisfy the audience while also introducing The Black Widow as an absolute killer, but I'd told the girls to take it a step further and turn this into a spotfest. Which was great for getting a pop out of the crowd, not so great for Mizu who completely blew her quad in the process. Had to rush to the finish of her getting her head kicked in, but other than that it was a solid match. Rating: 22 Individual performances: Widow 26, Mizucore 33 Tag Team Mad Dog Collar Deathmatch Fujiko Mushashibo and Dr. Yumaniac vs The Cannibals (Etelka The Hun and Maneater) With Fujiko winning the title last month, she couldn’t do another singles match without the gold on the line so I used her as a familiar touchstone in order to introduce the rest of the characters here. Dr. Yumaniac does have a following already, just not in wrestling, thanks to her progressive neoclassical jazz-infused black metal band Gasp (note to self: consider a music-based feud between her and Mizucore) but clearly what she’ll never have is the proper timing with Fujiko as a team. Which isn’t bad because I never meant to have them team up regularly anyway, my gamble was with The Cannibals, they do sort of have a common visual theme going on already. If you’re wondering how a dog collar match works with tag teams, each person gets chained to their partner. I guess this makes sense if partners don’t get along, which wasn’t the case here, but at least Fujiko and the doc were smart enough to play that up when they realized how strange bedfellows they made. Etelka and Maneater on the other hand worked in unison, using the chain to choke and whip opponents or stretching it out to clothesline a running target. There was a spot where Fujiko hit Manhunter with a C4 onto a table on the outside and that must have hurt for both, seeing as the damn thing did not break. There was another moment where Etelka placed the doctor face first onto the metal steps and threw her full weight on her with a senton, causing a face-shaped dent on them, then there was a recovered doc later who put the maniac in Yumaniac by hanging Etelka over the ropes to choke on the collar while she hit her Purgatorium finisher on Maneater for the pin. Great stuff. Rating: 31 Individual performances: Yumaniac 36, Mushashibo 35, Maneater 43, Etelka 35 WQ2020 Queens Heart title match MACHINE Takami vs Rika Tsujimura So the trick here is, I loaded the card with deathmatches and by the time the main event rolled around, people were not only excited, but also the straightforward wrestling here served as a palate cleanser and it looked even more awesome after all the chaos that preceded it. Having won the four way match last month, Rika was the only candidate to take on Takami and despite her relative inexperience, she rose to the occasion big time.The girls told a simple story here as Rika used those long legs of hers to kick and exploit her reach advantage, while Takami went for the takedowns, sometimes taking a hit if it meant she had a chance to hook in a leg, in order to eliminate her opponent’s height advantage. We didn’t have to turn this into a 40 minute snoozefest like it’s PGHW or Burning Hammer, short and sweet at about twelve minutes but wrestled at a blistering pace to keep the action flowing and fans excited as if it were a shoot fight. And once Takami finally got her chance, she hit the Takami Bomb for the three count to end it. Rating: 37 Individual performances: Takami 38, Tsujimura 34 Show Rating: 37

Thank you both. With all the real world mods and diaries, I'm feeling the default database isn't getting the spotlight it deserves. Planning to get the next show up soon.

SWF Uprising Results [Fri. Wk. 3, Apr. 2020] From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy 8.486 fans showed up in Portland, Oregon for Uprising this week, a sign the 10k attendance mark has been reached but should not be considered a given just yet. The Supreme Network is apparently helping growth though and 6.332.118 viewers tuned in to watch the show live. The show kicked off with Eric Eisen who, as promised, came out to address the SWF World Heavyweight title situation. Eric called out Remo and was joined in the ring by the champion but before anything significant could be said, Des Davids’ music hit and the big man came out with a mic to demand his title shot, as agreed, in return for him ensuring that Remo would still be champion after facing Mikey Lau at the Pay Per View. Eric said that whatever deal the two men had was between them and thus not binding as far as the company is concerned, but once again he was interrupted on that note by Hollywood Bret Starr and Rocky Golden. Remember, their match at Supreme TV was to determine who would challenge Remo for the title, but that ended in a no contest, so both men considered they had a claim still. Yet again, Eric pointed out that this was an agreement between themselves and nothing had been put to paper with a Supreme Wrestling Federation official’s signature at the end, but he had a way to sort all of this out, once and for all. This Tuesday on Supreme TV, Des Davids versus Hollywood Bret Starr versus Rocky Golden in a triple threat match, no countouts or disqualifications; there will be a winner and whoever wins that match will get a shot at the SWF World Heavyweight title. And just to add some icing on the cake, Eric banned absolutely everyone else from ringside, under threat of firing them on the spot, which you can guess did not go down well with Starr. This was a great angle to move things forward, 87 for the show’s opening. John Greed & Justin Sensitive vs Marshall Dillon & Masked Patriot Our opening match was the Rat Pack’s B team in Greed and Sensitive against the odd pairing of Dillon and Patriot. Wasn’t expecting much out of it but it was still a good one, with the babyfaces getting some TV time to look good and get over, thanks to the heel team’s selling when they weren’t cutting them off from getting a good streak of offence going. Willy LaRoux showed up to attack Patriot some ten or twelve minutes into the match, which meant a DQ win for the faces. Not sure why they didn’t give them a clean win if the goal was to get them over, but judging from commentary, they probably wanted to do another show of the Rat Pack getting involved in each other’s matches just to hype up how big it would be for Starr to not have them around for his match on Tuesday. For now, Mr. Eisen rated this as a 66. Right on cue, Lenny Brown and Steven Parker cut a backstage promo on the Rat Pack’s cowardice and dirty tactics. The duo spoke of LaRoux interfering and how Greed & Sensitive messed with their own match against Fame & Money on Tuesday. Thankfully, they added that they weren’t just whining about it, they were going to do something about it. Didn’t bother to tell us viewers what, but still a well delivered promo at 69. w/ Mikey Lau vs Spencer Spade (with Dulce Moreno) Did not expect this match, but I was excited to see it play out. By the way, shouldn’t Lau also be requesting another title shot since Davids cost him the Pay Per View match? Anyway, it was good to see him back in action and Spade got a chance to shine in the ring with a top star. They went real wild with this too, show stopping performance until Spade landed the wrong way and seemed to injure his foot, which limited his mobility as he clearly struggled to keep up with the fast pace of the match. From that point on, I have no idea what was planned and what was changed on the fly, but Dulce Moreno began openly interfering whenever Spade was in a tight spot until Ekuma showed up and literally threw her over his shoulder to carry her away, clearing the way for Lau to hit the Scything Side Kick and score the pin. Fun way to use the big man babyface, but I could tell this wasn’t exactly how this match was supposed to go down. Spade’s injury took the wind out of its sails, keeping things down to a 75. James Adams came out to meet Ekuma at the top of the entrance ramp, mic in hand. After a bit of back and forth between the two of them, Hawaiian Crush told Spade they accept his group’s challenge. At Master of Puppets, they will be putting the SWF World Tag Team titles on the line. Nice, things are being set up for the next PPV already and a 74 for this angle. w/ West Coast Connection vs The Awesomeness (with BJ O’Neil) Right before the match, there was a commercial break which meant that West Coast Connection’s entrance wasn’t televised. Also, we didn’t get to see Tom Gilmore come out, but he was out and joined the broadcast trio of Fry, Garcia and Chase to provide his thoughts for this one. Always good to see The Awesomeness on TV and thankfully they had a match instead of another promo on this night. It wasn’t a squash, but I guess not many people expected Cali Slick and Fro Sure to win here either, especially with the latter having announced that he will be on the road soon, touring the nation to deliver his raps live. Bonus points for holding back on the crazy spots after Spade’s apparent injury earlier as well as giving this one a clean finish, hands down a 76 for the match. The real story went down after the match though, as The Awesomeness mocked and antagonized Tom Gilmore on commentary. The man stood up and put down his headset, fans popping for the imminent beatdown, but it was all taken away from them when that dastardly Randall Buckminster Bumfhole appeared from the crowd, jumped the guardrail and attacked Gilmore from behind. RBB threw Gilmore in the ring for the 3 on 1 attack and what seemed like another Unleashed Awesomeness beatdown on a beloved veteran… when Joey Morgan’s music hit, to a huge ovation! Morgan showed up at the entranceway all healed up, with a gleam in his eye and a thirst for vengeance. Again, this wasn’t paid off because Morgan ran down and the heels fled the ring, but it ended the segment with him saving Gilmore and the two standing tall, even if they can now no longer team up again. Quite the emotional rollercoaster, 74 for this. SWF North American title Triple Threat match Matty Faith vs Ranger vs ZWB Kristen Pearce brought out both her guys but returned backstage, clearly not wanting to take sides. The champion’s trick was already paying off and it was nice to see The Mission as singles wrestlers for a change of pace. Besides that, the match went on pretty much as expected, with Ranger and Faith teaming up to bring the fisticuffs and double team slams on the champion while ZWB struggled to survive and maybe hit a big flashy countermove every now and then. Of course, there was disagreement once it was time to make the final pin and win the title, something ZWB took advantage of when he dropkicked Faith into Ranger and rolled him up for the three to retain. Well executed, but given the predictability here perhaps sixteen minutes were too long for it, so a 77 feels right. I like how this “hype for next week” is becoming a regular thing before every main event. This time we were told that on Tuesday, Supreme TV will include an update from Joey Morgan, a tag team match was confirmed between Lenny Brown and Steven Parker against John Greed and Justin Sensitive and of course, the episode will be headlined by the triple threat match between Des Davids, Hollywood Bret Starr and Rocky Golden to determine the new #1 contender for Remo’s SWF World Heavyweight title. w/w/ Atom Smasher (with Rogue) vs Valiant (with Hannah) So last week Valiant had a match with The Crippler after he rescued Hernandez at the Pay Per View and Atom Smasher interfered, which led to this here contest. Of course, Rogue was at ringside as a visual reminder of him being the master manipulator behind all this as well as to give the broadcast team a chance to bring up the long, storied history between him and Valiant. Lot of posturing at the start of the match in what I’d definitely call a slow fuse contest, this took a while to get going but it gave fans some time to take it all in before things really picked up. Smasher’s been on a roll since he turned heel and as a big, intense dude he made for a great opponent here, pushing Valiant’s fighting spirit and forcing him to endure the onslaught he brought to him. That’s not to say the babyface played defence for most of the bout, Valiant got a fair bit of offence in what was essentially a pretty even match, but he just couldn’t keep his opponent down long enough for the three count. As all this dragged on, it felt more and more epic and where exhaustion began to creep in, Rogue and Hannah stepped up to keep the storytelling going and provide fresh twists to the action. This all played a part in the end, since Rogue left a brick on the apron and circled the ring to antagonise Hannah. While the ref was busy trying to keep the managers apart, Smasher picked up the brick and smacked Valiant in the head with it behind the ref’s back. Not sure how I feel about the finish, but Mr. Eisen still gave the main event a grade of 80. An 80 seems fair as an overall grade for the show too, good matches top to bottom plus some big angles like Morgan’s return or the announcement for the #1 three way. With two and a half weeks to go before Master of Puppets, there’s still time to advance storylines and add in matches for the PPV, though I’m thinking it might be best to do it sooner than later if they also want to have some time to hype said matches up and convince people to pay for the big show.

Round one ends as time expires. There's the bell for the start of the round! The fighters get in close and clinch.

In guard, Greis is content just to throw a couple of punches to the body and doesn't allow Chung Man to lock him up with double underhooks. Greis is trying to pass guard and after a struggle, he gets to half guard with one minute of the round remaining. Chung Man can't keep his opponent in half guard, and Greis gains side control, pounding away with rights but failing to land any significant blows. Chung Man tries to pull guard on Greis but doesn't get anywhere with the attempt and then time is up, that's the end of round two. With one round left, Chung Man realistically needs to stop his opponent in order to win. Greis moves in and clinches, trying to muscle Chung Man up against the cage, which he achieves. Showing how good he can be at controlling opponents, Greis keeps Chung Man stuck against the cage and the next thirty seconds or so sees them engage in close-quarters dirty boxing until the halfway mark in this round. Greis tries to maintain control, but Chung Man wrestles his way out of trouble and turns it so that Greis ends up backed against the cage with under a minute left in this round. Unable to break free, Greis is smothered up against the cage and the next minute or so sees them hitting each other with short punches from that position. It isn't pretty, but Chung Man has Greis stuck up against the cage and they exchange short punches to the body until the round ends. Official Result: Klaus Greis defeats Taizoh Chung Man via Unanimous Decision [Average] Welterweight Orlando de Carvalho (#3, 0-0, 7-2) vs "Rough and Tumble" John Wales (#10CR, 0-0, 8-1) Betting odds favour Carvalho over Wales, but not by much.

Official Result: 'Rough And Tumble' Jonn Wales defeats Orlando de Carvalho via Split Decision.

Deja vu as Babish misses with another a big right hand and Burridge counters with a left jab and a right hook that is ducked.

So I very much felt like doing a WMMA diary, since there's a lot less typing and storytelling involved compared to TEW dynasties. As much as I wanted to give Red Star Combat another go, it feels weird to go with the same concept given the situation in Ukraine, so here's DUMMA in Australia instead.

I figured she wouldn't want to draw attention to her last name, at least not yet (unmasking angle in the future?) so that the rest of the roster and the promotion itself can get over first. Other than that, no one's asking you to pick favourites, hell, I'm not even doing a proper prediction contest, just hyping up the card of the next show, but I do appreciate any sort of comment or interaction regardless.

Sendai, Japan. Second Thursday of February 2020 "She put a diaper in my duffel bag. A used diaper!" "Goes to show what a baby you are. Full of shit too, hahaha" I think my eyes blinked a few times while I literally felt some of my brain cells die. It's stuff like this that messes with your head, not getting piledrived through a table or something. How on earth Assassin #1 thought anyone was going to get a laugh out of her rib was beyond me, but at least the Hooligan sister (still couldn't tell those two apart) had been held back and the fight was avoided this month. "Listen, I have no time for this crap," I started, before realizing what I'd said and quickly adding "no pun intended. You, I know Thunder Hike trained you and everything, you think you're so much better than everyone, but that doesn't give you the right to bully rookies. Hell, you're disrespecting all your coworkers here when the entire locker room smells like shit because of you. Two shows, two incidents. I don't want to start every time by having to deal with your shenanigans. Straighten up or get the hell out before dealing with you is no longer worth your pay and what you bring to that ring, get it?" To my surprise, maybe even a few others, she hung her head low. "You are right" she said, while I was still trying to gauge if she was messing with me or pretending to be sorry in order to get away with this. "I stepped out of line. I should have kept this between us and not make everyone else here feel like they're preparing for the show in some unclogged toilet..." "No, you should have held yourself back from doing it altogether" I immediately cut off her misguided apology. "You should have behaved better in general, for the sole reason of being a better person and a professional. No one likes the drama you bring and I sure as hell don't need to deal with your tricks before a show, when there's so much else to take care of. So I'll say it again, as clear as I can. You stop giving everyone trouble backstage, or I'll stop giving you bookings."

I understand how/why most people interpret "dark fantasy lucha" as a spin on what Lucha Underground did, but as much as I loved that TV show, I feel like it's done quite a lot on the diary boards already and would love to see a different interpretation from someone.

SWF Supreme TV Results [Tues. Wk. 3, April 2020] From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy Uprising was the show right after the Pay Per View so it dealt with some of the fallout, but it’s no secret that Supreme TV is the flagship show, even if it’s not aired head to head against Total Wrestling, so I fully expected the interesting things to happen on this night. 10.384 fans showed up in Phoenix, Arizona and I had to check my notes for the last time the company hit the ten thousand attendance benchmark for a television show: Uprising on the third week of January. Been a while, but the comeback is apparently happening and 5.904.810 viewers were glued to their screens to witness it. Right into the main course from the first few moments of the episode, Des Davids made his entrance and called out Remo to sort out the details of their arrangement, which I’ll remind you wasn’t caught on camera. The SWF World Heavyweight champion responded and joined Des in the ring, but said there was nothing to discuss; as per the terms of their agreement, Des had the champ’s back in his title match at The World Is Watching against Mikey Lau and he returned the favour by assisting him in his following match against Masked Patriot. Des however argued this wasn’t the case and either way, a match for the biggest prize in SWF just isn’t the same as a random match on any night of SWF television; he said the favour had not been agreed upon and it’s going to be him that calls it in, not Remo repaying it whenever he wants and in whatever fashion he thinks appropriate, before dropping the mic and leaving the champ puzzled in the ring. Some good storytelling there, I like the complications of this agreement being stretched into a storyline but what I did not like was this segment getting stretched to nearly fifteen minutes. Yes it has to do with the title and both guys are over, but as good as he is at this point, Davids just doesn’t have the mic skills to keep this interesting for so long, so I’d cap it at 82. w/ Robbie Retro vs Ranger (with Kirsten Pearce and Matty Faith) Guess there wasn’t ever any doubt that Ranger would be winning here, but Robbie kept it entertaining and even somewhat competitive, avoiding a squash and getting a couple of near falls after surprise roll ups or big moves out of nowhere. Unfortunately, his flashy antics aren’t as entertaining as they were supposed to be up against his stoic opponent, but at least Pearce and Faith limited themselves to cheering their man on and antagonising the crowd without getting directly involved in the match. Global Meltdown, game set and match Ranger, 49 and let’s move on. The titantron came alive after the match and ZWB had a message for the winning trio on stage. If Ranger really wanted a shot at his SWF North American title, Zimmy was willing to give him one, but only as long as Matty Faith was also getting his fair share. Friday on Uprising, ZWB versus Ranger versus Matty Faith in a triple threat match! Fans cheered at the prospect of seeing this bout and I appreciate Zimmy’s hustle here: if Ranger refuses, he’s being selfish and if he accepts, he’ll have to fight Matty when it’s time to make the pin, either way ZWB found a way to sow dissent in the ranks of The Mission and earned a 75 for this segment. Fame & Money vs Lenny Brown & Steven Parker It’s been ages since we saw Brown & Parker and if the announcers hadn’t brought up their promo about not being in the tag title mix and aiming to do better (two weeks earlier, mind you) I wouldn’t remember that either. This was supposedly their return to action and an attempt to get out of whatever funk they’re in and I’ll say, their booking sure has been in a funk, a damn shame when you consider what they bring to the table. All that said, I think everyone expected them to get that much needed win here. Hell of a match too, until Sensitive and Greed showed up to stir the pot and assist the heels in stealing it. It gave them a ton of heat after all that build up, sure, but Lenny and Steven got the short end of the stick again. Mr. Eisen also commented on how his two time champions have now been reduced to generic goons in a bloated stable around Bret Starr like he needs them; Not sure if I agree, but with all the messed up booking I can’t argue his 67 for what was otherwise a well executed, entertaining match. As predicted, after their win in the opening trios match of last week’s Uprising, the Supreme Dream Team are gunning for gold and they stated their intentions with a short but sweet promo. Again, there was a bit of tension between Spade and Allen who subtly butted heads over who would be the lead talker here, so the build continues and it seems we’re in for a long ride full of bumps and twists. For now, their promo earned them a 76. Randall Buckminster Bumfhole vs Tom Gilmore Randall’s crusade against SWF’s old guard continued here, with Gilmore looking for revenge after Unleashed Awesomeness hospitalised his former teammate. With this kind of drive behind him, we got some good glimpses of the good old “Angry” Gilmore, which popped the fans and also played into the story of the match. This was nothing short of fantastic and it made Gilmore look like a million bucks, so much so that RBB had to hold on to the ropes in order to secure the win after one kick out too many. This kind of desperate heel stuff made him all the more slimy and despised, while also shining a good light on Gilmore who was portrayed as a legit competitor instead of just a veteran who’s body can’t keep up. Best match of the night and a well deserved 81. Of course, The Awesomeness had to come down and join Randall in putting the boots to Gilmore, but at least they didn’t drag this one more than they needed to. Mr. Eisen rated the post-match attack as a 71. w/ Marshall Dillon vs Rogue (with Atom Smasher) I could see the finish here from a mile away. Dillon needs a win after his big PPV loss, Smasher cost Valiant his main event match last Uprising, put two and two together. The action was great, sure, and Marshall probably picked up a thing or two rubbing shoulders with the former champ in the ring, but the drama just wasn’t there knowing how it was bound to end. I liked how they pulled it off though, with Smasher’s constant interference eventually causing Valiant to run down and take him out, the distraction throwing Rogue off his guard momentarily just so Dillon could hit the Crackdown for the pin. Given how Valiant didn’t directly involve himself with the competitors, it was a smart way to have a white meat babyface interfere, 72 for this contest. The best part came after the match though, when Rogue grabbed a mic to throw a tantrum following his loss and the good thing about it is he didn’t just trash Valiant, but also Smasher for not doing what he was supposed to. Seems like they’re still going with the whole “disfunctional duo” gig, plus his surprise verbal attack on Smasher turned the big man’s attention on him, thus allowing Valiant to escape. Smasher got in the ring and Rogue’s tone immediately changed to apologising, saying he got carried away and he’s just as unstable and unpredictable as Smasher, so they make a perfect pairing. Fans were hot to see Smasher smack the talk out of Rogue’s mouth, but this was just a tease and the big man stood down as we cut to commercial. Loved this one, 95 hands down. When we returned from commercial, the broadcast trio of Fry, Garcia and Chase did a quick rundown of what viewers should be hyped to see on Friday: just confirmed, Atom Smasher will go one on one in a match with Valiant, Eric Eisen will address the SWF World Heavyweight title situation and in the main event, ZWB will defend his SWF North American title against both Matty Faith and Ranger! w/ Hollywood Bret Starr (with Krissy Angelle) vs Rocky Golden I did not know what to expect here. I knew it was going to be good, I just didn’t have a clue how it would play out. Even interference by The Rat Pack, which by now felt like a certainty, was out the window when the crew came out with Starr at the entranceway but he sent them backstage to walk down the ramp alone. After the initial lockup and some back and forth, Rocky went for one of his signature moves; Starr blocked it with a sharp chop to the throat and unleashed his own offence, but couldn’t lift up his opponent for a throw. Golden took the lead again and just as he was about to pull off another crowd-popping move, Starr countered with a disorienting ear clap. It’s interesting how he went for moves like these, which are nasty but not as bad as the standard eye rake/poke or low blow; Starr got his heat not from his own dirty moves, but by denying the fans a big spot that had been teased moments ago. Of course, this can’t go on forever and Rocky decided to stick to the simple stuff, quickly turning this into a fast paced brawl that spilled out of the ring and ended in a double count out after fifteen or so minutes of action. Clearly the booking was meant to protect them both, but the dirty finish drags this down to a 71, just a little more underwhelming than the two matches that preceded it. What was interesting though, and the announcers made sure to point this out as the show went off the air, is that this match was supposed to settle the two men’s argument about who should challenge for the World Heavyweight title. What would happen now, and how does Des Davids and his arrangement with Remo fit in? Ah, I see, tune in Friday to find out as Eric Eisen makes an announcement, huh? Clever. Good show top to bottom, I thought there was a lot of interference but looking back on my notes, we got two cases of that, two clean finishes and the double countout in the main event. That last one was probably what brings the entire experience down to a 78, especially since the two matches before it were arguably more exciting or well executed. Quick results Ranger def.
