Roderick Remus did manage to take Jay Chord out of the ring with a flying crossbody while O'Farraday and DDD brawled outside, and it was left for Marc Speed to slap on the Armbreaker onto Laine in the middle of the ring, forcing him to tap.</p><p> </p><p> Then we had T-Bone Bright and Wolf Hawkins having their confrontation, an angle which was clearly meant to be the opener of the show. Hawkins boasted about his victory over Sammy Bach, Bright came out to hype his title match then Hawkins showed him no respect, claiming that he was not on his level. Would have made a good opener...

These two talented workers haven't quite found their grove this year, but showed their magnificent skills here. An even match where we allowed higher risker moves than normal was ruined somewhat when Camp Tornado surrounded the ring - the ref tried to remove them but without eyes in the back of his head he couldn't stop Davis Wayne Newton kicking Stone on the side of his head, for Gauge to capitlise.</p><p> </p><p> Gauge left the ring as a post match beatdown begun, but Aaron Andrews and Masked Cougar were out to send the heels away.

Lenny Brown snapped and told Peak he was in a match with the Sinner Society - what did he expect?

Steven Parker and Mainstream Hernandez approached Huggins before Jay Chord was out, demanding that Parker stood down. Chord told Parker that ever since he had debuted he had got in his way - but at Destructive Energy he would put him down in a one on one match.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Mrcu7Tv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Mrcu7Tv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="J4p5In8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/J4p5In8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="zxPiIhC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zxPiIhC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="vGmpWyf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vGmpWyf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Mighty Meaty defeated Human Arsenal and Benny Benson</strong></span> in 11:24 (81)</p><p> -Great match - I don't know if Arsenal and Benson have a future in the tag team division, but they are doing a good job here around the hunt for the Tag Titles. However, they will not be in the title match at Destructive Energy after Mo put away Benson with a Plunging Piledriver.</p><p> </p><p> The whole Syndicate were out to inform Mighty Meaty that Taylor and Chandler would be taking back their titles at Destructive Energy.

Winding up Mighty Meaty before the show proved The Syndicate's undoing. After a ref bump Joshua Taylor brought a chair into the ring, and the match broke down, which allowed Mighty Meaty to help the faces out, eventually seeing them driving Eddie Chandler through a table. As the ref recovered T-Bone Bright was left in the ring with Joshua Taylor, and he delivered a T-Bone Powerslam to take the victory.</p><p> </p><p> After the match Bright, Mighty Meaty and One Man Army celebrated in the ring - Doc Hammond looking on silently, not breaking character (87)</p><p> </p><p> <em>Overall Rating 84</em></p>

I liked the show - three me off my predictions, but justifiably so. 'Sensational' Steven Parker [vs] 'Platinum' James Prudence -Jimmy P may lose by interference, but I think the action will come after the match Faith and Old Glory [vs] Atom Smasher & American Machine w/ Kristen Pearce -A Smasher win will be a common pick for me Jungle Lord [vs] 'The Con Man' Sammy Smoke -Has Jungle Lord got a win since you took over? 'The Dragon' Mikey Lau [vs] 'The Eighth Deadly Sin' John Greed w/ Scythe -I do fear for Lau's health after this match.. Hawaiian Crush [vs] Makutsi and Dominic DeSousa w/ Joe Sexy -I cant believe I've just done that... 'Every Woman's Dream' Valiant w/ Rogue [vs] Randy Unleashed w/ The Unleashed Rat Pack -It would take some strange storyline reasons for Valiant to lose here but... well, it's Valiant, and he's not had the best "luck"...

Fonzarelli is angry right now, but this hasn't tipped him any further over. Haranobu Kobayashi was meant to job on his way out, but he was nowhere to be seen (in reality, as this was a B show so he prioritised BHOTWG). Not only that, but he was meant to team with Dean Daniels, who's not contracted to B shows, so I'll call this a learning experience. Clark Alexander and Harry Allen both redebuted - the former even getting a victory by teaming with his Hawaiian colleague High Flyin Hawaiian. The show was pretty mediocre, with angles from Dazzling Dave Diamond and T-Bone Bright the highlight, until Huggins pulled a great match out of Arthur Dexter Bradley (who's in ring performance was just 34). After the match Mainstream Hernandez came out to accept Huggins challenge for Destructive Energy (in a 92 rated segment!!) .</p><p> </p><p> TCW Presents Total Wrestling:</p><p> Mighty Meaty vs Human Arsenal and Benny Benson</p><p> Matt Hocking © vs Clark Alexander for the TCW TV Title</p><p> Dazzling Dave Diamond, Roderick Remus and Joffy Laine vs Jay Chord, Findlay O'Farraday and Marc Speed</p><p> Lenny Brown, Steven Parker and Mainstream Hernandez vs The Sinner Society (The Behemoths and Nick Booth)</p><p> Edd Stone vs Greg Gauge</p><p> T-Bone Bright, Doc Hammond and One Man Army vs The Syndicate</p>

Pretty sure that Adam has said that Wrestler of the Year isn't eligible for Female / Young / Veteran Wrestler of the Year.

I think I'm lucky enough to have someone that rolled similarly. He's not on the next card in a match, but he definitely seems to be hitting some kind of sweet spot.

TCW TV Title Match- Greg Gauge © vs T-Bone Bright Titan vs One Man Army Chris Flynn vs Troy Tornado I'm jealous that PGHW actually sent you some wrestlers.

Six Man Tag Team Match: Remo Richardson, Valiant & Mikey Lau w/ Rogue [vs] Tommy Cornell & The Keith Twins -Remo might take a bit of persuading here, but the heels have to win here. North American Title Match: 'The Show Stealer' ZWB © [vs] 'Mainstream' Jimmy Hernandez -I feel that ZWB is destined for a feud with one of the Gauges, the question is does it have to be over a title? If Smasher wins, James works for him... If James wins, he gets Smasher's 'SWF Injuries' dossier: 'Big Money' Brandon James w/ Krissy Angelle [vs] 'Your Hero' Atom Smasher w/ Kristen Pearce -Smasher all the way - a hugely popular heel in my eyes.

A different show. The main two matches were not as good as hoped, but the tag match far exceeded my expectations. Meanwhile the hype by the wrestler in advance for the Two Stages of Hell match was absolutely top quality, and really did help the show. Yes, I have made One Man Army a double champion, yes he is 42, just like Doc Hammond. A complete example of right place, right time. Wolf Hawkins' victory over Sammy Bach was almost an afterthought given all the action that went on beforehand, Mighty Mo wants Matt Hocking to get more mic time - well, he's about to get a gimmick change to more of a rock star now the plans of a tag team with Okakura have been shelved, so we'll finally see that happen. Meanwhile Dazzling Dave Diamond wants us to finally do something with Joffy Laine, but given that he's been informally paired with the youngster, some of that responsibility will fall to him. Flying Foxx was the next to face the judgement of Wolf Hawkins... I think the champion might be taking over... is it too late for me to stop that? Meanwhile, I know that I said that I had decided to not run a B show but... I've changed my mind. TCW Saturday Night Showcase is now a full B show, just an hour in length, and you'll just get the results and minor summary if there's anything interesting going on. It's just a six month deal, so if I get bored of the extra show I can eventually drop it. Meanwhile, I signed a deal for TCW Presents Total Wrestling on CBA for 2021, which should increase TCW's exposure outside the US. We upgraded our Broadcast quality in preparation for the change.

TCW Hotter Than Hell Marc Speed and Matt Hocking defeated Bart Biggins and Elliot Thomas in 8:30 (60) Dazzling Dave Diamond defeated Yuri Yoshihara in 3:51 (56) Titan and The Sinners defeated Flying Jimmy Foxx and Devine Fortune (57) MAIN SHOW: The show started with a hype video - flames, Sammy Bach and Wolf Hawkins... that's the main two matches with a bit of hype (73) vs Camp Tornado (Troy Tornado, Davis Wayne Newton and El Hijo Del Neutron) defeated High Flyin Hawaiian and Cougar Stone in 10:50 (68) -By far the two highest performers in this match were on the losing face team in the shape of Edd Stone and High Flying Hawaiian. I guess that is the price of building up new talent. The faces were all about quick high flying action, the heels were all about stalling and underhand tactics. They isolated Cougar, and although we got an "every man hitting their finishing move" moment, Cougar never got the tag in the chaos, and he fell to Davis Wayne Newton, with the assist from the bottom rope. Lenny Brown was caught by Eddie Peak going to the ring for his match against Killer Shark. Peak told him that it was down to him and Killer Shark in one to one action - The Sinner Society would not interfere, and it was a chance for Brown to do it on his own. Brown got right in Eddie Peak's face, and told the veteran that he would not back down from him, and had earned his space at TCW (71) vs Lenny Brown defeated Killer Shark in 7:32 (67) -True to their word The Society were not out, and although Killer Shark was dominated large periods, once he ran into the ring post, Brown busted out two Star Treatments for the victory. Mighty Meaty cut a promo declaring that they were ready to take their Tag Titles back, and no-one would stop them. The camera panned back to show Doc Hammond and One Man Army, with the latter cocking his eyebrow while patting his TV Title. Tana added that there may be a New Wave in town, and laughed, telling them that between them they would take the titles away from The Syndicate (82) vs vs vs Doc Hammond and One Man Army defeated The Syndicate ©, Mighty Meaty and Human Arsenal & Benny Benson to win the TCW Tag Team Titles (82) -What a great tag match, the end result being way more than the sum of it's parts. It did pretty much go heels versus faces, with a lot of the attention on the "Team from TCW's history" and The Syndicate. Despite One Man Army being the worst performer in the ring and Doc Hammond having an off day, we went completely for nostalgia with the result of this one. Doc Hammond made the pin on his old stable mate Eddie Chandler for Hammond's and OMA's first reign under their new ring names (sixth reign overall, first for five years). T-Bone Bright, Mainstream Hernandez and Steven Parker hyped the Two Stages of Hell match and... wow, the old MAW boys killed it (90) vs Roderick Remus defeated Findlay O'Farraday by disqualification in 7:52 (53) -A DQ at a PPV is a big no no for TCW, but I had booked myself into a corner. I didn't want to sacrifice Remus to O'Farraday, and I didn't want to punish him for the Okakura injury that he swears was not his fault. Equally I was not having O'Farraday taking the pin, despite the commentary team pointing out that it was Remus who took the Mid Atlantic Championship of the larger man a few years ago. As such we kept O'Farrady strong, but he was clearly more interested in dealing damage to Remus. After he caught him off the top rope, drove him through a table and then started attacking him with a chair, the ref had very little choice over the DQ. O'Farraday kept up the attack, bringing Dazzling Dave Diamond out, who managed to stop the attack with a shout over the microphone. DDD told O'Farraday that was not how we did things here in TCW. DDD told him to keep it in the ring, or he would be kept out of TCW (61) Jay Chord hyped up the Two Stages of Hell, until he was interrupted by Freddy Huggins to say that he was the master of the skies, and he would leap up to take the title shot quicker than anyone else could. Jay Chord told him to prove it, and Huggins smugly said he would, before Greg Gauge walked across to camera to head to the ring, noticeably ignoring the arguing heels, which made them both frown (98) vs vs vs vs vs T-Bone Bright defeated Mainstream Hernandez, Steven Parker, Jay Chord, Greg Gauge and Freddy Huggins in 21:13 in a Two Stages of Hell match (76) -Honestly, after the six man tag match at the previous show I'm a little bit disappointed with how this one came out. To reduce the risk to the stars (and to allow the match to be broadcast), there was a five second beeping countdown, before the flames went of in one second intervals, with the flame point lighting up one second beforehand to give the wrestlers a chance to dive out of the way. That probably made the match a little disjointed, as at times it was less about wrestling than diving away from the corners of the ring, and from the target briefcase. On multiple occasions wrestlers were on a ladder and forced to bail when the flames erupted, but T-Bone Bright proved a little braver, hanging on an extra couple of seconds at the top of the ladder as Jay Chord bailed, just releasing the briefcase and jumping clear before flames errupted in down to the centre of the ring. Sammy Bach cut a quick backstage promo to hype the Main Event, pointing out that The Syndicate only had one title left - and he was going to take it. Not his best (73) vs Wolf Hawkins © defeated Sammy Bach to retain the TCW World Heavyweight Title in 20:47 (81) -The commentary team did point out that the last time these two men faced at Pay Per View it went to a thirty minute time limit draw, and the same match limit had been set for this one, although the match got nowhere near it. Bach did get a few near falls, but after a ref bump The Syndicate were out, with both Chandler and Taylor hitting moves on Bach. This allowed Wolf Hawkins to deliver the Full Moon Rising on Bach and retain his title. Overall Rating 84

That was a much better end to the show than I expected, really drawing the crowd into Two Stage of Hell. In its simplest form it is a ladder match, where the victor will have to claim a case that will descend every three minutes from above the ring. However, every time the case descends the ring will explode in flames (upwards from the four corners, downwards from above the case. This will be interesting to write up... Elsewhere, we ended up with One Man Army and Doc Hammond in the ring shaking hands to spark memories... and they're getting a title shot on Sunday. All about developing the young talent, I am. To be fair, Mighty Meaty and the adhoc team of Benny Benson and Human Arsenal will also take part in the match. Elsewhere, Pretty Okakura picked up a concussion which everyone blamed on Roderick Remus - apart from Pretty Okakura. Remus was really upset at taking the blame and was visibly upset. Worse was to follow during the week, when Razan Okamoto broke leg his match in a tag match at BGC. His partner, Findlay O'Farrady, told me it was a bad one, and he'll miss the rest of the year. Meanwhile, Brent Hill still likes Elliot Thomas. Don't think that gets him a push... And finally, on the day where it is announced that California Kid will be out of action for a few months with Chronic Back Pain, it's revealed that he's dating Analisa. I'm saying nothing...

TCW Presents Total Wrestling: Titan defeated Haranobu Kobayashi in 4:12 (52) -Before Kobayashi left for BHOTWG he did a job, finding good chemistry with Titan. Chris Flynn defeated Darryl Devine in 6:51 (60) El Hijo Del Neutron and Davis Wayne Newton defeated Dean Daniels and Flying Jimmy Foxx in 8:59 (54) Mighty Meaty defeated Tiger Salvaje and Yuri Yoshihara in 7:09 (66) MAIN SHOW: Sammy Bach started the show, hyping up his title shot at Hotter Than Hell. Wolf Hawkins came out, flanked by his colleagues, asking Bach if he saw what he did last week? Hawkins said that he defeated the monster Tana the Mighty, and he would have no problem doing the same to Sammy Bach. Bach said that he was ready, to which Hawkins laughed, telling him that his colleagues were the ready ones, and one of them would be bringing the TV Title to The Syndicate (96) vs Lenny Brown and Roderick Remus defeated Shockura in 11:23 (66) -Shockura's (there real name, name Hockukura as I accidentally called them in the preview before a quick edit) debut on the main show as on TV as an official team and... Pretty Okakura sustained a concussion, which backstage was blamed on Roderick Remus. Serves my right for me letting them use risker moves not normally allowed on TV to try and grab the crowd's early attention. However, the other competitors covered well, with Brown pinning Hocking after a Star Treatment. As Lenny Brown walked backstage Eddie Peak sarcastically clapped him, noting that he was back teaming with someone else to leach the win off them. Brown got in Peak's face, and told him that he would face any of his Sinner Society colleagues in the ring at Hotter Than Hell (71) T-Bone Bright, Mainstream Hernandez and Steven Parker hyped up the Main Event, pointing out that despite the fact that they would be facing off on Sunday they could form a cohesive team tonight (70) vs Findlay O'Farrady defeated Chance Fortune in 4:35 (26) -The crowd clearly still don't care about seeing O'Farraday squash opponents, even if they were once part of the midcard. Dazzling Dave Diamond came out with a mic to make sure that O'Farraday didn't carry on his attack, and announce that the beast would face Roderick Remus at Hotter Than Hell (60) vs Troy Tornado defeated High Flyin Hawaiian in 8:04 (64) -I'll be honest, if Troy Tornado isn't facing a star he tends to perform pretty averagely. His opponent here has talent, but he laboured to a Star Maker after interference from the rest of Camp Tornado. High Flyin Hawaiian was outnumbered, but Masked Cougar and Edd Ston were out to even the odds, and we now know who will be facing Camp Tornado on Sunday (70) vs vs vs One Man Army © defeated Human Arsenal, Joshua Taylor and Eddie Chandler to retain the TCW TV Title in 9:17 (71) -This was a great little match, where it didn't really matter that OMA was the weak link as he had the odds stacked against him. However, it started to fall apart for the heels after Joshua Taylor hit OMA with a Super Kick, and Human Arsenal followed up with an Ammo Dump. It would have been an easy pin, but the heels started to brawl amongst themselves. Eddie Chandler tried to get between then as they both toppled through the ropes, and OMA made a recovery to get a flash schoolboy pin on Chandler the steal the victory. OMA bailed from the ring, but Benny Benson met him with a knee to the chin. Eddie Chandler joined it before... Doc Hammond was out for the save! He fought off the attackers before turning and facing OMA... and shaking hands. The commentary of "There's history there" doesn't quite cover it... (70) vs Killer Shark defeated Elliot Thomas in 2:52 (57) -Look, we're not after setting the best show in the world tonight. A quick Shark's Bite for the victory. Eddie Peak got into the ring with Killer Shark, and told Lenny Brown that he was shark meat on Sunday (67) One Man Army was caught for an interview backstage, with Doc Hammond at his side. OMA seemed anxious about attackers, which certainly didn't get any better when Wolf Hawkins came over. However, his ire was directed as Doc Hammond, asking his ex-colleague what made him think that he could mess in Syndicate business. That brought a scoffing Sammy Bach over, to point out that The Syndicate always thought everyone else's business was their own - this is just a taste of their own medicine. Hawkins turned round slowly to Bach, and told him that he should head out for his match (80) vs Sammy Bach defeated Marc Speed in 10:26 (79) -This is what we know Marc Speed can do, but... well, I've had to change my plans and it's not worked out well for Marc Speed. At least he put on a good show, before Bach took the victory. And then nothing happened after the match. We're concentrating on hyping Two Steps of Hell... ...which Jay Chord, Greg Gauge and Freddy Huggins were on duty to agree that one of them would win that match, but they certainly couldn't agree which of them would be the victor (82) vs Jay Chord, Greg Gauge and Freddy Huggins defeated T-Bone Bright, Mainstream Hernandez and Steven Parker in 15:25 (86) -Oh wow - there was no way that I was expecting the match to be this good. The six men threw everything at one another, both teams working well and desperate to take the upper hand going in to Hotter Than Hell. We had finshers galore, and although Hernandez thought he had the match won after an Apparition #14 he then took a Cradle Piledriver from Chord to take the pin. Jay Chord celebrated, before he spotted T-Bone Bright charging in so he moved out of the way... letting Greg Gauge eat the shoulder charge. Freddy Huggins climbed the turnbuckle but stopped, noticing Jay Chord slowly moving away. Huggins shouted at his partner, but Chord just shrugged, before turning around into Steven Parker, who picked him up for a Future Shock. The move was not completed, as T-Bone Bright took them both out. Mainstream Hernandez kipped up and leapt up to Freddy Huggins, and they fought on the top turnbuckle. They struggled, but Greg Gauge interfered and pulled both men down. Bodies were everywhere, and this hyped the match nicely (86) Overall Rating 86

Angry Gilmore w/ Joey Morgan [vs] Hollywood Bret Starr w/ The Rat Pack -I'd the Rat Pack take a victory, it has to be here Spencer Spade, ZWB & Robbie Retro [vs] Robbie Wright, Jimmy Hernandez & Des Davids -The faces all day long. Apart from the losing will set up the PPV better so... a loss it is. The Dallas Cowboys [vs] Fame and Money w/ The Rat Pack - My tag predictions have been consistently wrong, but this is a face team I'm allowed to predict a victory for. Bear Bekowski [vs] Dominic DeSousa w/ Joe Sexy 'Fast Ball' Oliver Kobb [vs] Primus Allen 'The Living Legend' Rocky Golden [vs] Randy Unleashed w/ The Rat Pack

Urgh, the day after my last show Aaron Andrews picks up another injury at a house show - this time knee ligament damage will keep him out of action for a month. There's a strong argument for keeping him off house shows, but the fans want to see him. That throws his match with Camp Tornado out of the window for Hotter Than Hell - but is also a huge blow for Darin Flynn. The 21-year-old, who recently left 21CW, was going to get a match with the superstar on this show, to carry on the theme of Andrews' fighting youngsters. Instead, he's going straight to HGC, and may have missed his biggest match of his career. Okay, second biggest, as I can't whitewash his 21CW match against Tommy Cornell from his history. We move Harvey Robbinfield and Gringo Starr to MAW to make a room as the HGC roster is little crowded. Oh, it's also a blow to someone else who was going to be involved in that match to. Maybe just a month delay? We shall see. Meanwhile, in the Main Event, Tana the Mighty pulled out his best match in years. When I was sketching out future plans there was a space in a Fatal Fourway for the title in the future that I thought he could fill. I got worried that he didn't have it anymore, so I gave him a test run, that he passed with flying colours. Very impressed. Only two months left on his contract, but very impressed. Nick Booth went to wrestlers court, which was ruled on by... Wolf Hawkins? Seems he has power... Meanwhile, T-Bone Bright put over El Hijo Del Neutron's charisma... which in my opinion still could be better. TCW Presents Total Wrestling: High Flyin Hawaiian vs Troy Tornado Elliot Thomas vs Killer Shark Lenny Brown and Roderick Remus vs Shockura (Matt Hocking and Pretty Okakura) Chance Fortune vs Findlay O'Farraday Sammy Bach vs Marc Speed One Man Army © vs Human Arsenal vs Eddie Chandler vs Joshua Taylor for the TCW TV Title T-Bone Bright, Mainstream Hernandez and Steven Parker vs Jay Chord, Greg Gauge and Freddy Huggins

TCW Presents Total Wrestling: Doc Hammond, Roderick Remus and Cougar Stone defeated Dusty Ducont, Nate Johnson, Tigre Salvaje and Yuri Yoshihara (59) Maverick and Marc Speed defeated Flying Jimmy Foxx and Seth Whitehead (54) Benny Benson defeated Dean Daniels (54) Shockura (Matt Hocking and Pretty Okakura) defeated Bart Biggins and Elliot Thomas (61) MAIN SHOW: Sammy Bach started the show, noting the victory that he had over The Syndicate last week. Wolf Hawkins came out with The Syndicate to tell Bach that once again he thought that one victory made a man, but he knew that the battle was yet to be won. That brought out One Man Army to join Bach, to ask Hawkins how the war was going to bring the TV Title to The Syndicate. Hawkins smirked, and told One Man Army that it was going well - given that for the TV Title match today Joshua Taylor would be the special referee and Eddie Chandler the timekeeper (92) vs Jay Chord defeated Lenny Brown in 9:42 (75) -Jay Chord handed Lenny Brown his first singles defeat in TCW, but he put up a decent contest before falling to a Cradle Piledriver. As Lenny Brown left the ring he was met by Eddie Peak, who remarked that Brown wasn't so tough without T-Bone Bright at his side. Brown got in Peak's face, and said he was ready for any challenge, which Peak just laughed at (75) vs Camp Tornado (Troy Tornado, Davis Wayne Newton and El Hijo Del Neutron) defeated Devine Fortune and Joffy Laine in 5:29 (48) -We actually ran out of time in this show, and this was the match that got caught, so Camp Tornado swiftly defeated the faces without Laine even getting into the ring. Aaron Andrews came out after the match, striding down to the ring. Andrews said that he would take on any of Camp Tornado, right now in the ring. Davis Wayne Newton stepped up in front of Andrews, but Tornado blasted Andrews with a chair. El Hijo Del Neutron also attacked, before wrapping the chair around Andrews' knee and dropping his leg into it. The heels cleared as Dazzling Dave Diamond came down to the ring. However, it was clear that Andrews was hurt, and even with Triple D's support could not leave the ring. Eventually the stretcher was out to cart Andrews away (65) vs Human Arsenal defeated One Man Army © by disqualification in a TV Title match in 8:44 (71) -The Syndicate were fully on Human Arsenal's side here with Taylor coming up with completely different count speeds. That resulted in OMA pushing away at Taylor, who warned him - a warning that was ignored as OMA pushed Taylor over. Taylor called for the bell, to a horrified Human Arsenal. Human Arsenal demanded to know what Taylor had done, as The Syndicate man realised that he had ensured that OMA retained the title. The champion used the opportunity to leave the ring, but made a sharp exit through the crowd when Benny Benson appeared (77) vs Greg Gauge defeated High Flyin Hawaiian in (79) -High Flying Hawaiian had a decent push when he first started but given his popularity level he needed to lose to Greg Gauge - and he did. He put on a good show though and looked a threat. Freddy Huggins was caught for an interview backstage. He said that he would be watching the next two matches carefully, but he would do everything to ensure that he won the first ever Two Stages of Hell match. The camera panned back to Jay Chord, who told Huggins to think that if he wanted - but following through was a different matter (81) vs Steven Parker and Mainstream Hernandez defeated The Behemoths to qualify for the Two Stages of Hell in 9:43 (74) -Six months ago and The Behemoths would have been hot favourites, but they have slipped down the card since losing the titles. Parker and Hernandez were made to look the underdogs, having to make quick tags before Parker managed to pin Titan after a Future Shock. vs T-Bone Bright defeated Findlay O'Farraday by count-out to qualify for the Two Stages of Hell in 7:42 (77) -An absolute all out brawl, both in and out of the ring. O'Farraday did throw Bright right into the referee before hitting the Atomic Spinebuster. With no ref to make the count Roderick Remus rushed out and broke up the pin, before exiting the ring with O'Farraday hot on his tail. When the ref recovered he make the count to 10, before awarding the victory to Bright. Dazzling Dave Diamond rushed out and angrily demanded that O'Farraday, who had begun to throw chairs at Remus, stopped. He said that there was too much going on outside the ring and it had to stop - Aaron Andrews was already on the way to the hospital, and he was going to make sure that no-one else had that happen to them. Sammy Bach joined DDD and calmed DDD down, making sure he was ready for the next match (87) vs Sammy Bach and Dazzling Dave Diamond defeated The Sinners in 8:25 (77) -DDD went out like a house on fire, but eventually got caught out and isolated away from his corner by The Sinners. They worked well together until DDD burst out and got he the hot tag to Bach. Bach cleaned house but was kind enough to tag back in the desperate DDD to deliver a Diamond Mine to Nick Booth to take the victory. Mighty Meaty were shown backstage, Mighty Mo hyping his partner up for his non-title match against the champion. Wolf Hawkins casually strolled by, before smirking to telling Tana that he'll see him in the ring (85) vs Wolf Hawkins © defeated Tana the Mighty in a non-title match in 9:56 (89) -What the? I would have never, ever considered making this the Main Event of a PPV, but here it is - my third best match ever. My best match that didn't have both Wolf Hawkins and Aaron Andrews in. What can I say? The veteran Tana the Mighty did well, showing that if you give him talent to work with he can deliver. The rest of The Syndicate were out, but so was Mighty Mo to assist, and Tana ended up giving both of the Tag Team Champions a Big Fat Samoan Butt. However, Joshua Taylor recovered from his to hit a Superkick on Tana as the ref cleared Chandler and Mo from the ring, and Hawkins hit a Full Moon Rising for the victory. The Syndicate rushed back, looking to punish Tana for the embarrassment to he had caused them Mighty Mo came back to help, but so did One Man Army, and when Human Arsenal joined in as well we just had an all out brawl to end the show (75) Overall Rating 87

That's it Ekuma, never again...

Not really, it's the game trying to balance the fed out. Is this one company or multiple, and how many stables do they start out with?

No product change, I think when it's just one person in the ring without someone to interact with the crowd's getting bored after a few more minutes. Easy enough to throw more men in, but I need to justify it, so if they're in their own I'll book it that way. It's just not going to happen too much.

Joel Bryant liked what he saw in the Main Event, as he became the latest person to tell me that Lenny Brown was money. Danny Fonzarelli, meanwhile, was not happy with his booking at all. With his gimmick getting stale it was an opportunity to temporarily take him off screen. I talked to him and he was happy about changing his gimmick, but not so happy when I mooted him becoming a manager. Perhaps I should have asked him before I make him angry... The Two Stages of Hell is a concept that still isn’t fully developed, so you’ll find out more details as I work them out. It won’t be as risky a match as the inclusion of fire would indicate, as I would be taken off screen if I tried that. Steve Frehley's contract comes up... I pulled out of Nicky Champion talks, surely that means I can't go for Frehley? Whoever gets him won't do it for cheap, as USPW, SWF, CWA, BHOTWG and EILL all make offers TCW Presents Total Wrestling: Devine Fortune and Joffy Laine vs Camp Tornado Lenny Brown vs Jay Chord High Flyin Hawaiian vs Greg Gauge One Man Army © vs Human Arsenal for the TCW TV title Dazzling Dave Diamond and Sammy Bach vs The Sinners Steven Parker and Mainstream Hernandez vs The Behemoths to qualify for the Two Stages of Hell T-Bone Bright vs Findlay O'Farraday to qualify for Two Stages of Hell Wolf Hawkins © vs Tana the Mighty in a non-title match

TCW Presents Total Wrestling: Bart Biggins, Elliot Thomas and Flying Jimmy Foxx defeated Tigre Salvaje, Arthur Dexter Bradley and Yuri Yoshihara in 7:12 (44) Dazzling Dave Diamond defeated Harvey Robbinfield in 5:46 (67) Steven Parker and Mainstream Hernandez defeated Matt Hocking and Pretty Okakura in 7:40 (69) -Good chemistry from the heels is a promising direction MAIN SHOW: Sammy Bach started the show, reiterating his challenge for the TCW World Heavyweight Title, telling fans that it had been too long since TCW had recognised him as the true star of the brand. Wolf Hawkins was out to laugh at the suggestion, telling Bach that a line of kiddies wanting to take pictures didn't make him a star - the belt did. Bach agreed, and told Hawkins that he would prove he was the number one round here, and Hawkins agreed to the match for Hotter Than Hell (82) vs Aaron Andrews defeated Nick Booth in 8:48 (80) -Commentary team pointed out that Nick Booth was one of the younger men on the roster, as we used Andrews to make him look good while ultimately falling to defeat. Aaron Andrews called out Troy Tornado after the match, and he came out flanked by Davis Wayne Newton and El Hijo Del Neutron. Andrews told Tornado that the only reason that he stood in anyone's way was because to become the best, you have to beat the best, and his problem is Ace keeps on winning. Tornado told Andrews that one battle against a youngster doesn't mean anything. Tornado announced that Davis Wayne Newton and El Hijo Del Neutron were officially the first two members of a new training camp he was putting together - Camp Tornado. He would do more than Andrews ever had - training the youngsters of today to develop them for the future. He told Andrews to find two partners - as at Hotter Than Hell Andrews was going to be blown away by the Tornado (69) vs Doc Hammond and Cougar Stone defeated Maverick, Nate Johnson and Marc Speed in 9:17 (65) -Not quite sure why I booked it this long - however much opportunity I gave to the heels, the faces were always winning this one. Marc Speed can’t catch a break right now, but it was Johnson who fell to a Hear Me Party Roar. Jason Azaria came out and called a whole host of TCW stars to the ring, to announce that at Hotter Than Hell there would be a Two Stages of Hell match for the chance to face the TCW World Heavyweight Champion at Destructive Energy. This match would be a first ever for TCW, mixing up ladders with fire as six wrestlers would complete to press the button that would guarantee them a title shot. He announced a series of qualification matches over the next two weeks for a place in the match, all featuring men conveniently in the ring: Mighty Meaty vs Jay Chord and Greg Gauge Roderick Remus vs Freddy Huggins Steven Parker and Mainstream Hernandez vs The Behemoths T-Bone Bright vs Findlay O'Farrady Queue lots of pushing and shoving, before Azaria demanded that the ring was cleared before he started making replacements (86) Killer Shark was left in the ring for his TCW TV Title shot (let's skirt over that logic), when Wolf Hawkins came out armed with a microphone. He reminded everyone that the TCW TV Title was the one title still to add to The Syndicate's dazzling line-up of titles, and the opportunity was there for someone. That brought Eddie Peak out, to tell Hawkins that if Shark won he was doing it for The Sinner Society (72) vs One Man Army © defeated Killer Shark in a TCW TV Title match by disqualification in 7:36 (60) -Both men really need someone a little more talented to play off in the ring, and the match was no more than reasonable. Until the point that Human Arsenal blatantly attacked OMA. As Human Arsenal set OMA up for an Ammo Dump, Titan was down to the ring to push Arsenal away. The distraction allowed OMA to roll out the ring... straight into the path of Matt Hocking who had rushed out from the back. OMA did a quick circuit of the ring, but found his path blocked by Benny Benson, so he hopped the barrier a disappeared through the crowd (70) vs Findlay O'Farraday defeated Danny Fonzarelli in 3:51 (43) -I didn't originally book this as a squash, but Fonzarelli loudly complained about the finish anyway. I thought if he was going to do that I may as well justify his complaints and let O'Farraday get in all the offence and two Atomic Spinebusters. O'Farrady rolled out of the ring as Dazzling Dave Diamond rushed to attend Danny Fonzarelli, calling in the medics to see to his colleague (72) vs Freddy Huggins defeated Roderick Remus in 10:58 to qualify for Two Stages of Hell (82) -Freddy Huggins really is our go to guy for quality matches outside the big three of Andrews, Hawkins and Chord. He put on a fantastic match with Remus, making the man who had achieved little previously this year look a real threat, before taking the victory with a Huggins Kiss. After Huggins left Findlay O'Farraday made a surprise appearance, dragging Roderick Remus from the ring the literally throwing him into the crowd (don't worry - we had HGC workers in that section. Parker and Hernandez were out, but with O'Farraday done they attended their fallen colleague (62) Sammy Bach was shown backstage with T-Bone Bright and Lenny Brown, and we gave them all some promo time, what with everyone telling me that we should let Brown loose on the mic. He did his job well, and the faces declared that they were targeting the win over The Syndicate in the Main Event (88) vs Jay Chord and Greg Gauge defeated Mighty Meaty in 8:43 to qualify for the Two Stages of Hell (77) -Not a bad match, but I wanted a little bit better so delved into the dirt sheet - capped due to length, but Tana penalised for stamina. Makes sense, they were going all out, and recognising Tana's limitations I purposely kept the length down. Tana did give Gauge the Big Fat Samoan Butt, but after that the heels took over, Chord pinning Mighty Mo after a Cradle Piledriver. Hawkins cut a promo backstage telling everyone how he would defeat Sammy Bach at Hotter Than Hell and... wow, our multi-man promos are just so much better than these one-man ones. Pity there's another one later... (72) vs Sammy Bach, T-Bone Bright and Lenny Brown defeated The Syndicate in 13:53 (81) -Huge win this one, especially for Lenny Brown and T-Bone Bright. Logic would dictate a tag title shot for them next, but I actually can't fit it in with other plans... which I may have not lead up to so well. Maybe I can find room for it soon. Hawkins was obviously nowhere near the pinfall, Bach pinning Chandler after he missed a tag to Taylor. Sammy left the ring after the match and did his one-man hype... I'm binning these (71) Overall Rating 82

The OLLIE fall out with EILL came because of their desire to sign Boom-Boom Jamaica. Now, if I had a B-Show he would be perfect to build himself on that show. If not, I don't need him, as there's not a space for him to slot into in the main roster.

He could have been a good brawler at TCW, but he'll have more success back home. He had been teaming with Razan Okamoto as The Rising Sons (with a superb 0-6 record), so it will be interesting to see how Tamara McFly books Okamoto in singles action.</p><p> </p><p> At our next PPV we will introduce the Two Stages of Hell match, of which you'll have to wait until closer to the time to find the details of.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>TCW Presents Total Wrestling:</strong></p><p> Doc Hammond and Cougar Stone vs Marc Speed, Maverick and Nate Johnson</p><p> Aaron Andrews vs Nick Booth</p><p> One Man Army © vs Killer Shark for the TCW TV Title</p><p> Danny Fonzarelli vs Findlay O'Farraday</p><p> Roderick Remus vs Freddy Huggins to qualify for the Two Stages of Hell</p><p> Mighty Meaty vs Jay Chord and Greg Gauge to qualify for the Two Stages of Hell</p><p> Sammy Bach, T-Bone Bright and Lenny Brown vs The Syndicate</p>

He told the crowd that he said he'd do it - in the big matches, he was always going to win, however much the odds were stacked against him. That brought Aaron Andrews out, to tell Wolf Hawkins that he did not deserve that title, and if wasn't for Troy Tornado he would have defeated him to become champion again. He demanded another title shot, but before Hawkins could respond Troy Tornado made his way out. He took a microphone and told Aaron Andrews was everything that was wrong with TCW. Does he know how many times he's fought for the title in the last 12 months? Most wrestlers on the roster won't get one opportunity, but here Andrews in demanding that once again he is more deserving than anyone else. That is why he did what he did on Sunday - someone needed to level the playing field. Hawkins grinned, and told Andrews that under advice, he denied Andrews a title shot (96)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="tPWwJoq.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tPWwJoq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="gjMCJaq.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gjMCJaq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Aaron Andrews defeated Pretty Okakura</strong></span> in 8:31 (77)</p><p> -A little show of talent for Okakura, but despite his offence Andrews was always taking this one, taking control and hitting a... Flying Body Press on Okakura.</p><p> </p><p> Aaron Andrews cut a quick backstage interview after he left the ring, telling Troy Tornado that he was no guardian of the World Title, and he would prove he deserved his opportunity (74)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="98SmV1v.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/98SmV1v.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="3trjIdt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3trjIdt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="vGmpWyf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vGmpWyf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="h4FvS3y.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h4FvS3y.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Mainstream Hernandez and Roderick Remus defeated Benny Benson and Marc Speed</strong></span> in 8:49 (76)</p><p> -The past and not quite so long ago past of MAW teamed up, with Steve Parker shouting encouragement from the ringside. That was plenty for the win as the MAW boys showed that they were that step faster than their opponents, and Remus pinned Benson after a Brainbuster Suplex.</p><p> </p><p> The three ex-MAW men cut a promo targeting... the three other ex-MAW men they've been feuding with - they're not taking their defeat as the end of the feud (70)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="VNCC01L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VNCC01L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="5g2yawH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5g2yawH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>One Man Army © defeated Titan</strong></span> to retain the <strong>TCW TV Title</strong> in 6:12 (67)</p><p> -We have a new contender in the TV Title division, it having mostly been the same men for the last couple of months. This was short, sweet and brutal, but OMA’s body as a weapon tactic worked, winning with the Guided Missile</p><p> </p><p> Human Arsenal came out to the stage and… stared at One Man Army.

So, we ran it as a throwaway match here, and the men all overperformed, showing that perhaps one day we can build a tag division. Stone pinned Booth after a Hear Me Party Roar.</p><p> </p><p> After the match Killer Shark attacked Cougar Stone, which brought T-Bone Bright and Lenny Brown down to the ring. Eddie Peak followed with a microphone to call off his men and... did he give Bright a nod of approval?

Fonzarelli's also my first wrestler who's in need of a new gimmick which is probably not a bad man for it to happen to, and he hasn;t done much of note at all since I've taken over the book.. O'Farraday pinned Fonzarelli with Atomic Spinebuster, and just like that Diamond and Laine lose any momentum gained from their PPV victory.</p><p> </p><p> Sammy Bach came out before his match, and his main direction was Wolf Hawkins. Bach said that while Troy Tornado was attacking Aaron Andrews he had just crashed through a table - but you know what - he was ready to get back into the ring. He was ready to fight, and still is. Out came his opponent Troy Tornado, to tell Sammy Bach that he was as bad as Andrews, blocking up the title shots for younger, more deserving workers (84)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="z6Zg9JA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/z6Zg9JA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="pZcuuJO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pZcuuJO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Sammy Bach defeated Troy Tornado</strong></span> in 11:44 (79)</p><p> -This was a great too and fro between these two veterans, but once more I do wistfully look ono wondering what this would be like with a fully fit Tornado, something we will never see. Unfortunately for Tornado he has made a good job at making enemies with Aaron Andrews, and the ex-champion provided the pivotal moment. Andrews slid into the room to get into a full-blown argument with Tornado, which allowed Bach to hit an Adrenaline Rush for the victory.</p><p> </p><p> Davis Wayne Newton and El Hijo Del Neutron rushed down to the ring to attack Aaron Andrews. Sammy Bach pulled Tornado away as he tried to join in, and Andrews fought off his younger colleagues, finishing alone in the ring looking cross (61)</p><p> </p><p> Tana the Mighty and Mighty Mo cut a promo before the Main Event, with Tana telling Mo that this was his time to shine, the opportunity to take down the head of The Syndicate (85)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="h3ZWrsV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h3ZWrsV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs <img alt="Mrcu7Tv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Mrcu7Tv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Wolf Hawkins © defeated Mighty Mo</strong></span> in a non title match in 13:23 (86)</p><p> -This was superb, Mo showing that he can belong in the Main Event. There was an issue with the lack of selling in this match, but it was minor all things considering. The Syndicate came out to support their leader, and although Tana was able to give Chandler the Big Fat Samoan Butt Taylor got the assist, allowing Hawkins to hit the Full Moon Rising.</p><p> </p><p> After the match Sammy Bach was out, and he told Hawkins that he wanted the title shot at Hotter Than Hell (83)</p><p> </p><p> <em>Overall Rating 87</em></p>
