SWF Circa 1975 - The Eisen way

[b]Disclaimer[/b] [quote]This fiction story is based on the wonderful Cornellverse 1975 mod. It is not by any means the official story behind this world. Some liberties might be taken for the sake of the story and time anomalies may occur. Hell, I wasn’t even born in 1975… [/quote] [i][COLOR="Blue"]From the mind of a well-known wrestling promoter[/color][/i] I’ve been pondering about this for a long time now. It’s not that lack the time or the skill to do it, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it. People could get a few tricks from this and actually be better at what they’re doing, specially in the business. Then again, I doubt most people have enough brain and/or guts to really benefit from my knowledge and experience. … The hell with it ! With my name on this, it will sell like hot-dogs on the New York streets ! I won’t even need to do a lot of marketing, people will die to know how I did it and they could have make it better. Dream. That’s the key. I’ll be a selling a dream of fortune and fame, the real American dream! They won’t be able to make the best out of it and once again, they’ll only put more money in my pockets like they always do… [FONT="Arial Black"]Prologue : Getting to know me[/FONT] [quote]I always been a wrestling fan for as long as I can remember. My dad used to bring me to wrestling shows since I was 8 years old. From the begining, I was fascinated with the magical aura surrounding these events. Sure, I was young and easily impressed. Some of those guys were really scarring for an 8 years old boy ! As I grew up, I got more fascinated by the bigger picture. These athletes were putting a great athletic performance, but there was a little more than that. Crowd interaction was really the ignition in these events, it's what really made these fights memorable. I could care less if Joe Schmoe made Harry submit, but if Joe told us he was gonna do it and he could do it on every one in attendance that would try to interfere, that's another story. It really makes you care about what going on in the ring and you might even find yourself rooting for Harry ! It made my dream about being part of this show. I began to train, hoping to one day be in the ring...[/quote]

The real prologue [FONT="Arial Black"]The Real Prologue[/FONT] [quote]... screw that childish story ! If you're reading this, you're not expecting a little fairy tale about how a young boy dreamed about becoming a wrestler and barely making it. You're there to know how I, Richard Eisen, became one the most powerful man in the world. I'm rich, handsome and famous thanks to my genetics and my intelligence and the way I used them in the wrestling business. Maybe I could have been a great wrestler, I had a great body in my time, hell it's great even now, but that's beside the point. Enough of this chatting, let's get real, I'm sure you're eager to know how I made all that money by myself.[/quote] [i]OCC : As you can probably tell by now, those are taken from Richard Eisen's autobiography written in 2007. I intend to look at most of the story from Eisen's c0cky, arrogant and full of himself point of view. It should be fun hopefully.[/i]

Chapter 1 [FONT="Arial Black"]Chapter 1 : How things worked in the 70s[/FONT] [quote]Back in the days, it was the territory era. Promoters agreed willingly to separate the country in business area. There was a main promoter in each area and a couple a small local ones to give the kids a place to train properly. Each promoter had a handful of loyal workers touring the territory and they agreed to not venture outside their area nor making bad publicity about each other. A couple of wrestlers traveled from one territory to one other every now and then, but it was not a major thing. If you were fortunate enough to own a good radio and you heard about that guy doing a great job hundreds of miles from your home, there was no way of actually seeing that guy unless the promoters agreed to a talent trade. [/quote]

Chapter 2 [FONT="Arial Black"]Chapter 2 : The beginning of a life-time adventure[/FONT] [quote]At that point of time, I had enough money to make a good living without working, thanks my wonderful and adorable parents, but that wasn't enough for me. I needed a challenge, something to toy with if you want.[/quote] [color=blue][i]I stopped for a moment there. I don't expect people to understand how I could want to play with an investment that big, but it was how I felt at that time and it's all that matters.[/i][/color] [quote]So I went out and offer enough money to buy the Vermont Wrestling Circuit. Not that they had any real talent, but the guy needed money to buy all the alcohol he drank days in and days out. The first thing I did was fired a couple of uncharismatic workers. Who cares about your headlock if you scare away our fans... I had to fire a strange guy too, Derek Bradford. The guys stepped up in the moment of weakness from the previous owner, but he had no clue about a damn thing. His ideas were the stupidest I ever heard, that guy was simply dangerous for the soon to be renamed SWF. I lost a couple of guys who didn't like how I wanted to run things, but all came back later begging of their knees to get a job. What a turn around it was ! I took control of everything, made star from unknown punks and soon we were doing shows outside Vermont. Great men know how to find great subordinates to take care of less important matters. I met a guy in Boston, Tom Anderson. A good guy with a very good mind about the business, but a terrible athlete. I convinced him to drop the actual wrestling entirely to help me run the VWC and he did it just well with the basic things I gave him. Like running the shows from my scripts while I was away recruiting new talents. I needed extra help though. I was going on the road more and more to get new talents coming to Vermont. Promoters were angry I was trying to lure away their boys, but who cares about them. They had no clue of what they were doing. In Texas though, I found a friendly ear. Rocky Streets was running the area rather successfully I must say, but he was lacking the money to grow bigger. He agreed that wrestling could be much more than a regional product and with a bit of negotiations, I convinced him to move to the North and join my project. He knew how to run shows creatively and that's what I needed. Tom is just an executive, he don't have the guts nor the brain to really run the shows by himself. Streets and his two sons moved to New England just after they sold the Texas area to local star who was eager to prove us wrong. [/quote] [i]OCC : This probably the longest I'll go with my non-wrestling chapters. I need a bit of background to make things falls into place in this biography, but all we want to see is actual wrestling and how the SWF made its way to the top. OCC #2 : Tom Anderson will be my user character. He gave him very basic wrestling to reflect his background and average entertainement/refereing skills. He'll probably play a minor roll in the diary, filling a staff spot I need.[/i]

Chapter 3 [FONT="Arial Black"]Chapter 3 : The birth of a true superstar[/FONT] [quote]Recruiting new talents always has been a priority for me. If we wanted to make it big outside Vermont, I just couldn't sat here and watch the local boys trying to make something meaningful. Very few selected people have the natural abilities and all the tools to really be true stars in this business. The big picture is much more important than entertaining the locals. You can run so many times the small town hero doing funny things for his family before it gets boring. Real stars can entertain crowds regardless of the area. In one of my trips in the Pittsburgh area, I met one of those true stars. He was getting wasted in the shuffle of APWF... until they figured I was talking to the guy. I was starting to make some waves at the time already and they feared my next move, so they shoved down Mighty Micky through their fans throat and made him world champion. It was already too late. I had an agreement with Micky to come with me in New England, make an impact there then charm the whole country. At first, he wasn't sure it was good idea, he was making good money by touring himself the country, but a quick chat with Rocky Streets made him believe. Oh it did work for APWF, Mighty Micky brought people to their shows, but his title reign was rushed, they didn't have any real plans for him and they had to drop all the buzz rather quickly when Micky showed up for the first time in VWC. I repackaged Mighty Micky into Micky Starr a true role-model that everyone could rely to. He was the stand out guy, the one that would always be there to defend the weak, protect the country and kick the ass of the local bad guy. And oh God did it worked perfectly ! We had people coming from other areas to our shows to see how Micky could really defeat this evil mind or that fearsome bad guy. Touring outside New England was just that easy with a true superstar like Mickey Starr on the roster. [/quote] [i]OCC : We're getting there. Only one or two chapters to actually get in March 1975, a quick summary of what's the world is looking like for those who didn't look at the mod, a roster presentation and we should be able to have wrestling. [/i]

[SadisticBlessings]

As promised, I'll be reading! Excellent start, can't wait to read how you plan on writing up the shows themselves. Oh... and forget Eisen's BS personal stuff. PUSH ROBBIE GORDON!!!! :p

Chapter 4 [FONT="Arial Black"]Chapter 4 : Wrestling was made for television[/FONT] [quote]We had a great hero and champion with Micky Starr, we could find suitable villains wherever we were in the country, but we were missing a little extra to really kick the now renamed SWF. Before you ask how I came with the name Supreme Wrestling Federation, I shall explain it. This is very simple in fact. I wanted a catchy name that people could easily remember and something that has a strong meaning, something really showing we were marching into a new era. My company would be the top dog in the business by showing everyone else how to things should work. The hell with the territories, the hell with sharing talents, it's all about having the best product at hand and showing it nationwide. A real jab to the jaw of our opponents, we'll be better than they ever dreamed to be and we'll even announce it in our promotion name! Back to the our topic, we were missing a little something. With the territory mindset, no promoter cared about distributing their product. It was so obvious to me that wrestling was made for television, I still don't understand why no body realized it ! Sometimes, my own genius still surprise me. Storylines that continues from one week to one another, an ongoing battle between good and evil, larger than life characters and a simple way to show the product with just a handful of cameras, wrestling was perfect for television! Even better, television offered a great way to promote in advance our events, much better than a radio ad or distributing fliers, people could actually see a glimpse of what they could expect to see live. That's how I came to the conclusion that TV is good publicity, but it's not the end of everything. In fact, it's only the walking process to bigger events... non-televised events. Television could be use to convince people to come to our shows in their town to see their favorite wrestler. That's also why I choose to not hold championship matchs on every TV show, I had to keep most of those out of television just to make sure we had the maximum crowd. A great way to sell t-shirts, hats and many other things if you ask me. [/quote] [i]OCC #1 : Woot ! I got a reader ! Not sure how I'll write the shows SB, I'm not a fan of big long matchs descriptions (repetitive and way too much time consuming), but I like writing promos and such. I need to find a good compromise. OCC #2 : This the last background entry. I struggled a bit to find something interesting to say, but I think it gives you an overview of how I intend to play Richard Eisen.[/i]

Appendix 1 [FONT="Arial Black"]Appendix 1 : Wrestling in 1975[/FONT] [quote] [b]Supreme Wrestling Federation (SWF)[/b] The number #1 promotion in the United States, at Cult level with a national TV deal. The main focus of this story. We're on the verge of hitting National if you ask me. [b]American Pro Wrestling Federation (APWF)[/b] The former #1 promotion, but they went downhill after we stole Mickey Starr. They're run by steel tycoon Franco Lambert and let's just say they hate us with a passion. Only popular in Tri-State, but they have regional TV deal in the north-east. Dan Stone, George DeColt and Crippler Ray Kingman are their main stars. [b]All American Florida Wrestling (AAFW)[/b] The wild promotion of Dick The Devastator based in Florida. Popular only in South East, their main stars are Dick, Chief Two Eagles, Crippler Ray Kingman and the Masked Machine (Jackson Andrews). [b]California Pro Wrestling Championship (CPWC)[/b] A touring promotion based in California focusing almost exclusively on one-on-one matches. The owner, young sensation Preston Holt, believes in women's wrestling as much as luchadors. Popularity only in South West. Main stars are Crippler Kingman, Preston Holt and Edmond Jackson. [b]Texas Wrestling League (TWL)[/b] There's only one place to run a risky hardcore promotion and it's in Texas ! No wonder why they're popular only in Mid South. The Lone Star Stampeder bought the territory from Rocky Streets when he started working for us. Main stars : Rip Chord (also head booker), Pat Deacon, Floyd “F Bomb” Bowman. [b]Championship Wrestling from Boston (CWB)[/b] The oldest promotion ran by Gene Pummeli. They're well respected even though they never expanded outside Boston. Main Stars : Wild Man Sullivan, Iron Michael Milligan, The Boston Bomber. [b]American independent Circuit Wrestling (AICW)[/b] A small touring company ran by Walter Crowe. It's basically a way to better organize the indies. They're currently inactive and don't have any workers on contract. [b]Chicago Championship Wrestling (CCW)[/b] The very first developmental territory, owned by APWF. It just opened, but the hopes are big with potential star like Johnny Boy Tucker, The Minnesota Mauler and Sam Stragavelli. [b]Harlem Wrestling Association (HWA)[/b] An underground hardcore promotion running in Harlem. Do you really want to know more ? [b]Canadian Wrestling Federation (CWF)[/b] When Strangler Ed Henson retired, he found this company and they're having quite a bit of success (Cult level), thanks to the good booking of Dan Stone. With stars like Dan Stone, George DeColt, Jean-Pierre Baptiste, Whipper Spencer Marks and Frenchie Martel, they're offering very good wrestling... for now. [b]Wrestling in Mexico[/b] OLLIE is a national promotion with a tremendous roster, but some defectors walked out recently to form a new promotion the MPWF. Only the future will tell if it was a wise move. [b]Wrestling in UK[/b] One regional company (UKWA) that try to survive and one local (RWA) that's just there. Not much to say honestly. [b]Wrestling in Europe[/b] What ? [b]Wrestling in Japan[/b] It's an full raging war between the oldest promotion (GCG) and the new sensation driver by Master Kitozon (BHOTWG)... and a lesser war between the female regional wrestling promotions (GCGWomens and JPWW). Since both GCG and BHOTWG are national and more prestigious than the SWF I could possibly lose some wrestlers to them. [/quote] [i]OCC #1 : A quick run down of the wrestling mod, but I really suggest you look at the mod itself. It's very well done and the authors deserve much credit. OCC #2 : Yeah, I know, I focused on North America, 'cause I think it's more revelant to this story. This doesn't mean that other part of the world are not important, in fact, there's a lot of potentiel in every area, just look at Gremlinator's diary focusing on BHOTWG [URL="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23552&page=5"]http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23552&page=5[/URL] to see a different look at this mod. Up next : my roster and hopefully, we'll be ready for some wrestling ! [/i]

His 3 year run as SWF Champion has a lot to do with that, and it is showing no signs of stopping soon. Formerly a major name on the indy scene, a friendship with Rocky Streets convinced him to sign an exclusive deal with SWF.

His Pasta Noodle Trap is well liked: He Irish whips the opponent, then throws a handful of cooked pasta onto the mat. As the opponent slips he rolls them up, drawing the ire of any heel who falls prey to it .

[size=4][FONT="Arial Black"]Sunday Slamfest - March 1975 Week 1[/font][/size] Centerpiece Bridge, South Carolina, Mid-Atlantic area 5000 spectators [In the backstage area, just before the first match of the night, Rocky Streets is talking to his son Dusty.] [color="navy"]Rocky : Son, that's a big match you have tonight. Black Jack won't do you any favor, he's gonna hit your hard with everything he has like he always do. I want you to go out there and give him a run for his money. Use your quickness, put doubts in his mind, go the distance with him and he'll make a mistake or two. You can capitalize on them, you've got all the tools to do it. Come on Son, let's do this ![/color] [Dusty simply nods as he seems very focused on the task awaiting.] [b]Rating = D+[/b] [b]Dusty Streets (w/ Rocky Streets) vs Black Jack (w/ Ace McQueen)[/b] Oh my... Dusty used his quickness... for a minute, maybe two. Then Black Jack took control and tossed around the poor young man. Black Jack hit the Jack of Spade at the fifth minute mark to put an end to this without really sweating. [b]Winner : Black Jack / Rating = B-[/b] [i]Black Jack improved his performance skills. Yep, that's right, by squashing a kid.[/i] [The Shaman and Cherokee Hawk are in some woods, meditating around a bonfire.] [color="navy"]Shaman : Hawk, I had a vision last night in my dreams. A ancestral spirit came to me. He told me that our time has come. The prophecy is true, a hero has risen and will guide us to the promised land. Tormented spirits will try to stop us, but the Earthmother is protecting our hero and he shall not fail. Pray your totemic spirit as many obstacles will be our road.[/color] [And back to the previous peaceful meditation.] [b]Rating = D+[/b] [b]Teddy Flame (w/ Joey Flame) vs Brutus The Enforcer (w/ Coach Dick Pangrazzio)[/b] With the Enforcer around, you know it won't be for the weaks and this match is no exception. But Teddy is not half of our tag team champion by accident he knows his ways around the ring and surprised Brutus with the Flame On at 6th minute mark, even catching the Coach off-guard. [b]Winner : Joey Flame / Rating = B-[/b] [i]Teddy improved his rumble skills which was kinda expected.[/i] [The Coach doesn't stay surprised much long. He motions to the crowd, distracting everyone long enough for a guy to the jump over the barricade, sliding in the ring... wham ! Running Bulldog to Teddy ! Oh ! It's Mitch Haggans, the partner of Brutus! What he's doing here ? Mitch and Brutus jumps on Teddy nailing him with big hits. Joey finally realize what's happening, climbs on a turnbuckle and connects with a Double Crossbody on both American Badasses! Dropkick to Mitch, Drop.. no Brutus rolls outside the ring as Coach Pangrazzio calls the retreat.] [b]Rating = D+ for the attack, D+ for the rescue[/b] [b]Powerhouse Patterson vs Ace McQueen (w/ Black Jack)[/b] It took a couple of minutes to Patterson to get back in good ring shape, he's been away injured for quite some time now, but when he got all his marks back, we had a very competitive matchup. Black Jack tried to interfere only to get a big right hand to the nose. Powerhouse turned to Ace McQueen, nailed him with a Crushing Shoulder Smash to get the W. [b]Winner : Powerhouse Patterson / Rating = C+[/b] [i]Bad chemistry ! Still, Powerhouse improved his performance skills.[/i] [After the match, while Ace and Jack swear revenge backing up the aisle, Patterson calls for a mic.] [color="navy"]Powerhouse Patterson : I've been on the injury list for the past few months. It kept me away from one thing. One simple thing I truly deserve, something I haven't get in more than year... Micky Starr, I respect you, you're truly a great guy, but your time with the big gold belt is up. Next week, at the March Main Event, if you're really the guy I think you are, you'll put the World Title on the line against me. It's time for the world to know what I can do while I'm healthy ![/color] [b]Rating = C+[/b] [b]Antonio Moretti vs Baron Van Rambis (w/ Hagar Erikson)[/b] A big matchup, but unfortuneatly, Van Rambis was a bit off his game tonight. Still a very good match though.. until Ares Aegalus ran from the back and nailed Moretti with a Big Boot, a Running Clothesline and a Powerslam. Do I smell a DQ ? [b]Winner by DQ : Antonio Moretti / Rating = B+[/b] [i]Moretti improved his Rumble skills which is impressive at his age; Baron his performance skills... but still they don't have a clue about selling.[/i] [The ref tries to bet Ares off Moretti but Hagar simply drags him outside the ring before jumping in. It's a brutal 3 on 1 attack on the Italion Stallion my friends! It's not pretty and the kids in the front rows are screaming for their mommy ! The carnage is stopped by Richard Eisen making his way to the ring.] [color="darkred"]Richard Eisen (with a big simle on his face) : Gentlemen, I think this old man has enough for the day. {The beating magicly stops. It's nice to be Richard Eisen}. Ares, it seems you're not finish with Moretti even after 20 years. Let's put an end to this! I don't want Moretti crying on my door, an old man crying is way too pathetic, so it won't be a single match. No, we're gonna have... a Best of Seven series! Of course, only if the Italian can survive that much. And you know what ? Next week on Sunday Slamfest, it's gonna be the very first match of the series! {Now turning to Hagar Erikson.} Since you wanna fight, why don't you stay in that ring with Ares for a little tune-up match... against Call of the Wild ![/color] [The big men are laughing, Call of the Wild is a not very scary threat...] [b]Rating = B+ for the 3-on-1, B for the annoucement[/b] [b]Call of The Wild vs Hagar Erikson & Ares Aegalus[/b] Poor natives. They got their butt kicked the hard way there. Hagar and Ares are just way too powerful for them. Let's just hope the Prophecy is indeed true and that it will help them get pass the 7th minute mark next time. [b]Winners : Hagar & Ares / Rating = C+[/b] [i]Still, Cherokee Hawks improved his performance skills.[/i] [Backstage, Tom Anderson finaly caught Coach Dick Pangrazzio with The American Badasses. ] [color="navy"]Anderson : Coach, what is Mitch Haggans doing in the SWF ?[/color] [color="darkred"]Coach Pangrazzio : It's very simple Tom. I promised the Enforcer some tag gold a while ago and so far teaming with Bill hasn't worked very well. So I went back to the gym and saw that man, Mitch Haggans, beating the hell out of rascals. It was only a matter of time then for Mitch to join the All-Star Team. Joey, Teddy Flame, both American Badasses are here now, so take good care of those belts. Shine them real nice, 'cause we're coming for them ![/color] [b]Rating = C-[/b] [i]Just to show you how great the Coach is, Brutus learned a bit of charisma out there.[/i] [We're seconds before the main event and the annoucers are running the last six months of Micky Starr's title run. They run over all the challengers that failed and how Frank Rock managed to get another shot this week by blindsiding Micky Starr two weeks ago.] [b]Rating = B-[/b] [b]SWF World Title Micky Starr (c) vs Frank Rock (w/ Coach Dick Pangrazzio)[/b] Frank Rock hit a couple of big moves at the beginning of the match, showing that he could be the next champion. Micky Starr made his comeback while focusing on the weak knee of Frank Rock. The challenger shockingly almost knocked out the champion with an impressive DDT, but he only got a two count. The frustration started to get Rock off his game, which was enough to put Starr in command for the reminder of the match. He hit the Shooting Starr Press Slam at the 10th minute mark to retain once again his title. [b]Winner and still champion : Micky Starr / Rating = B[/b] [i]Selling is not the main quality of these men I must say.[/i] [Micky Starr rolls to the outside, claps in a few fans hands and grabs a mic.] [color="navy"]Micky Starr : Patterson, I never backed down from a challenge. I travalled the country for the last three years defending that belt against all odds. Do you think you really have what it takes to be a real champion like me ? You're a good guy, but not great. At March Main Event, I'll be in the ring waiting for you to prove me wrong.[/color] [And that's it for tonight folks ! If you're in the Mid-South Area next week, you don't wan to miss March Main Event! It's the only occasion to see all the champions in action in the same night !] [b]Rating = B+[/b] Show Rating : B TV Ratings : 23.68 [i]OCC : A very good first show, unfotunately, ACE network is not happy with our ratings.

Great first show... and a damn good rating too, I'd say! What exactly does the network want from you, anyway!? :D One thought: I think the shows might look even better if you included the worker pics before each match. I already know all the characters involved, so I'm loving it regardless, but I thought that might help readers who don't know the mod. Looking forward to the next show either way! As long as it has Robbie Gordon! :p

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Wow, I've been so wrapped up in the mafia game I never even saw this. Awesome first show, can't wait to see what comes of this. ACE is likely going to drop you, though, I think SWF's TV show was supposed to be on ASPN. And a 7-match series for all the marbles between Ares and Moretti... Thank you! May the wrestling gods bless ye with great chemistry.

It's not that far away and it'll give time to try one thing... and have another chapter of Richard Eisen's memories. In every test I ran, either Moretti or Ares (or both!) retires pretty quickly, so I thought I'd better to something important now with them. And oh my god, good wrestling in SWF, it's sooooo not 2007. Thanks for the comments guys.

That's 20 years in the making, we've been battaling all over the country and what you saw last week on this show was only a glimpse of the past... and of the futur. I always dominated Moretti, I could have end his carreer, if not his life, years ago, but deep downside, I'm a great guy and I didn't do it, playing with the poor Italian is way too fun. But it's over now, it's time to end his misery and it's start tonight with the first match of this 4 matchs series.

Dusty is still a little sore after his match against Black Jack last week, so Sid is doing most of the work. Okay wrestling when Sensei is in the ring, the martial arts specialist even gives his team the advantage with a couple of swift kicks and tags in his partner, an enormous mistake. Popinowski connects with a couple of right hands and bodyslam, then starts posing for the crowd and everything goes downfall for his team from there. Sid finally tags his brother who cleans the house and hits the Paving the Way on Popinowski to get the pinfall. [b]Winners : Streets of Rage / Rating = D+[/b] [i]And our crowd simply hates Bill Popinowski. I can't really blame them you know...

It was a pretty good match until The Enforcer tried to help his partner. Teddy took offense and jumped him and unfortunately, the brawl ended up in the ring and the referee had to call for the bell.

Putting two opponents of an important upcoming match together against a very vicious team. Sounds fun, eh ? Micky Starr and Patterson managed to work together for a bit, mainly because of the respect they have for each other, but it was doomed from the beginning, pun fully intended. As soon as Team Doom took control of the match with a couple of powerful team manoeuvres, Patterson started arguing with the champion. Starr made his eventual comeback, put Hagar down with a Powerslam, crawled to his corner, only to saw Patterson refused the tag by stepping down of the apron. The confusion was enough for Van Rambis who just tagged in to roll up the champion and get a three holding the tights. [b]Winners : Team Doom / Rating = B-[/b] [i]Baron Von Rambis was off his game, Micky Starr learned a bit of performance, Patterson and our champion are not really working well together which not very surprising.[/i] [If Micky Starr is furious about this loss, it's not really what matters as he quickly rolls out of the ring without even trying to argue the three count. The champion is now nose to nose with Patterson asking for an explanation, saying that he thought Patterson respected him.

The Italian Stallion is a fighter though and went toe-to-toe with his archrival from the very begining of this first match of a very promising series. These two know each other pretty well and we had a lot of counter-manoeuvres. Moretti managed to surprise his opponent the Moretti Powerslam but he only got a two count. He tend tried to put the Sicillian Sleeper Hold to work, but Aegaleus had too much gas left in the tank for Moretti to get the hold in place. That and a thumb to the eye is really annoying. The more the match was going on, the more Moretti was slowing down, thanks to the effects of last week vicious beating. Ares found some fun in that, really picking apart an dizzy Moretti. The Italian tried a come back with a couple of quick Short Arm Clotheslines, but Ares rebounded from the ropes with a huge Spartan Spear that was enough to get a three count.

[i]OCC : The presentation is a bit different from my TV shows. These big events, ancestors of PPV, are in some aspects glorified house shows. Don't forget we're in 1975, only the people in attendance had a good idea of what happened in a non-television card. Home VCRs were introduced in USA only in late 1975 by Sony (Betamax) and and late 76 by JVC (VHS) and were not much common until a few years later. And it took a Supreme Court Order in 80 to really set that watching a movie at home on VCR was not a copyright violation. So right now, we're not even recording these events! This show recap has been written from a local journalist perspective who reported the show in the sports section of the news paper.[/i] [FONT="Arial Black"][size=4]March Main Event - Friday March Week 3[/size][/font] Houston, Texas, Mid-South Territory 8991 spectators The show started with a blasted as Womanizer Robbie Gordon came to ringside and did his usual work, which is not far from the truth. Men hate him because he's handsome and can have all the women he wants, Women loves him for that, but also hates him because they can't all have him. He was interupted by Burt Selleck, who came to a big pop from the crowd. Selleck told Gordon to shut up, that Texans knew what a real man looks like : lean, muscular and with a thick mustache! Gordon took offense and it lead to our first match of the night.

Good Lord, do people hate Popinowski. It's beyond anything I saw here in Houston. They were litteraly throwing beer at each and every of his steps! As for the match, the two teams tried their best, but Popinowski was a too big distraction. Still, Bill and Iron Mike needed help from one of their partners, Frank Rock, to win this one. Coach Pangrazzio distracted the referee just long enough for Rock to pounce Cherokee with a tackle to give his partners the victory. [b]Winners : Bill Popinowski & Iron Mike / Rating = D+[/b] [i]I need to do something with Bill, our crowds hate him so much. Iron Mike looked good and improved his performance skills.[/i] After the match, Coach Pangrazzio ordered a beatdown, but a familiar face here in Texas came down the aisle.... Chief Two Eagles !

The young tag champions went flying all over the place like only them can, but each time they landed, they were granted with some vicious hits by two of the meanest and baddest non-Texans wrestlers I know. It was not enough though as the Blazing Flames retained when Joey knocked Mitch off the ring with a drop kick, allowing Teddy to hit a Crossbody for the three count. After the match, Haggans and The Enforcer got a little payback by beating down the champions. [b]Winners and still champions : Blazing Flames / Rating = D+ for the match, D+ for the revenge beatdown[/b] [i]Joey improved his performance skills in this disappointing match.[/i] Bob Johnson went in the ring to adress the crowd. He said he was sorry Antonio Morreti was not here tonight, he suffered injuries by Ares Ageleus hands at the last Slamfest and he's unable to compete. That prompted The Greek God to the ring. He stole the mic from Johnson and ranted about how great he is and he already ended Moretti's career after one match of the series. Walleye Conklin had enough and came to ringside, saying that this was unacceptable behaviors and rushed Agaleus ! You can always count on good old Walleye !

He has fire back in his eyes like the good old days, which is not a very good thing for the other wrestlers. Ares finished the match with a Spartan Spear in 11 minutes.

Deadly Gamble and Team Doom dominated with pure strenght, but the younger Streets did their best to save the day for their team. It was also great to see that Rocky Streets can still go and that his days in the North hasn't slowed him too much. In the end, Barney Larusso was the weakest link as he was still bruised from the last television event and that cost his team the match. After the bell, Deadly Gamble and Team Doom cleared the ring then walked slowly near the crowd with menacing looks. I think I even saw a couple of kids hiding behind their daddy !

After the bell, Micky Starr helped Patterson to his feet and extended his hand for a handshake, but the big man pushed the champion aside and simplu walked to the back.

I had no idea this diary had even been started, very well done so far. I like the presentation, and lol at the 'selling wasn't the thing back in the 60's' comment. I barely managed to get a C when I played with SWF, so congrats on getting those ratings. I'll definitely be reading.

I've been toying with the idea of a '75 diary, great format, good humor, you set the bar my friend.

You remember what I told ya about O'Brien ? A bump machine paid to make opponents look great ? That's exactly what he did once again tonight. McKing ended this affair with a piledriver with some kind of royal salute before the execution, something he's calling the Long Live to the King, around the 6th minute mark.

The flag weaving masked man got competition in this one as his opponent wanted to shake off his bad streak. They battle back and forth until Rock caught the Patriot off guard with a right hand to the jaw that almost took him off his boots. The ref warned Rock, but he didn't listen, he was rather getting for the Necesseray Roughness and the big W. [b]Winner : Frank Rock / Rating = D+[/b] [i]I need to fire my road agents.

After making a couple men in the first the show angry while charming their girls, Gordon turned his attention to Babette. You remember the shouting your little sister did when you were menacing to cut the head off of his beloved doll when you were young ? Then, you know what Rumble heard at this point ! Forgetting his match, Rumble went out of the ring and chased Womaziner up the ramp.... getting counted out in the process.

Patterson is trying to get some momentum back after his loss against Micky Starr and it's easier said then done against the Viking. Power moves were exchange for most part of the match, but Patterson took the advantage with an impressive Standing Suplex, a true demonstration of his strenght. He couldn't connect with his Crushing Shoulder Smash as Von Rambis tripped him from the outside. The referee told hiim to get out of the ringside area, but this small distraction gave Erikson enough time to hit Patterson with a low blow making him an easy for the Viking Back Snapper.

The world champion slides in the ring and connects a clothesline on Erikson. Von Rambis drops Patterson and charges, but he's hit by a Big Boot !

The Crew were on top for the first part (pun fully intended), but the champs managed to rally a comeback. Then it all went downhill. Brutus The Enforcer and Mitch Haggans, the American Badasses, rushed the ring and went straight to the beautiful faces of the young champions. The Crew tried to interfere, but they were pushed outside the ring. The ref called for the bell, but Coach Pangrazzio told him he'll shut it in his ass if was thinking about trying to seperate this brawl. [b]Winner by DQ and still champions : Blazing Flames Rating = C[/b] [i]Wade Morris, the elder in this match, improved his technical skills.[/i] [Haggans and the Enforcer double team Joey Flame taking him out with a nasty right hook/shoulder block combo. Teddy jumps in to save his brother, but he only meets the boot of Haggans right on the chin. The Enforcer lifts Joey.. Dominator! Haggans holds Teddy for his partner and a couple of right hands are delivered to the champion face. Double Underhook Belly-to-Back suplex form Haggans ! The Mustache Crew have recovered, they grab some chairs and charge the ring ! Coach Pangrazzio wisely calls his men out before they could get really hurt, but the damage has been done to the champions.] [b]Rating = C- for the beatdown, D+ for the save[/b] [i]Brutus learned to show more charisma. How ? Don't ask me, I'm just the reporter.[/i] [Tom Anderson is in the backstage interview area with Team Doom.] [color="green"]Tom Anderson : I'm standing here with Team Doom, scheduled to face Micky Starr and Powerhouse Patterson in the main event tonight. Baron, Hagar, any word to your opponents ? [/color] [Hagar is sniffing the head of Anderson. I don't know what he's looking for, but he doesn't look that much pleased. Von Rambis grabs the mic from Anderson hand] [color="darkred"]Baron Von Rambis : Mickey Starrrr... Harrr gonna brrreak yi in ha'f, harr gonna eat yi 'earrt. Patterrrsen...[/color] [Maybe he's reaction to this name, mabye it's coincidence, who knows... but Hagar yells and clubs Anderson with a big right hand to the head. The announcer falls as Hagar roars and starts stomping him! Von Rambis stops him from really hurting Anderson though] [color="darkred"]Von Rambis : Na! Need to keep t'at for rrrring.[/color] [And both men walks away, a good thing for Tom.] [b]Rating = B[/b] [i]Ok.. that was supposed to be a russian accent. I'm pretty sure it sounded very odd, I might need to reconsider that thing. Or maybe we could just pretend it's russian...maybe.[/i] [center][img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/dustystreets.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/icon_vs.gif[/img] [img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/robbiegordon.jpg[/img] [b][size=3]Dusty Streets (w/ Rocky Streets) vs Womanizer Robbie Gordon[/size][/b][/center] I know, it's a hard night for our ladies fans. Way too much handsome men are working for the company. Dustry Streets manage to get some offense in this bout, in fact, he thought he won it after a Moonsault but that only got him a two count. Gordon quickly connected with a thumb to the eye after that and chained it with the Ladies Choice to win this. [b]Winner : Womanizer Robbie Godron Rating = C[/b] [As soon as this is over, Robbie Gordon hits the ring side and steals a kiss from a lady before taking a mic.] [color="darkred"]Robbie Gordon : You're a funny guy Rick Rumble. I'm not the one to blame, I'm everything a woman ever desired, it's not my fault if every woman falls for me. You should rather blame yourself for not satisfying proprely your girl. Look at you, you can't even take care of yourself, how can anyone imagine you can take of a beautiful lady like Babette. I'll tell you point blank, she would be better with me and that's what angering you. Your quest is futile though, as you'll never be like the Womanizer !

McQueen is on a roll lately, the Patriot tried to stop him, but it's easier said then done. McQueen won that one in 7:41 with the Aces High as he's getting a lot of momentum, which can only means bad things for his opponents. [b]Winner : Ace McQueen Rating = C+[/b] [Richard Eisen is heading to the ring. It's time to talk about the Supreme Tournament it seems!] [color="darkred"]Richard Eisen : Laides and gentlemen,can you feel it ? The greatest night of wrestling is near us ! At Supreme Challenge, 8 of the top stars of this sport will compete in a one-night tournament to earn a shot at the most prestigious title, the SWF World Heavyweight Title, at our May special event called Misbehavior. But that's not all. I want to find where Micky Starr and Powerhouse Patterson really stand. At Supreme Challenge, they'll face each other in a tag team match with the partner of their choice ! We'll see if they're really friends... Oh another thing. Antonio Morretti, you have until Supreme Challenge to show up. If you don't, you'll be forever remember as a quitter... and you'll be fired !

Here's the lineup for the first round : Chief Two Eagles vs Baron Von Rambis Burt Selleck vs Ace McQueen Barney Larusso vs Hagar Erikson Rick Rumble vs Black Jack Be sure to not miss Supreme Challenge on the second friday of April in the Boston Area![/color] [b]Rating = B[/b] [center][img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/mickystarr.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/powerhouse.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/icon_vs.gif[/img] [img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/baron.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.retrohockey.net/diary/hagarerikson.jpg[/img] [b][size=3]Micky Starr & Powerhouse Patterson vs Team Doom[/size][/b][/center] Time for our huge main event! Team Doom are pissed off and they tried to get at the champion even before the bell. Starr fought back like only he can do and we had a great match. The love/hate relationship between Starr and Patterson made a couple of moments strange specially when Patterson tried to impress Starr by taking both opponents by himself. Not a good idea you know, he got his ass kicked for several minutes, Team Doom is a really well oiled destructive machine. Patterson managed to find an opening and connected with a suplex on Baron and crawled back to his corner to finally make a tag. Micky Starr entered the ring and set the house in fire! Hagar charged him, but he got nailed by a Clothesline. Baron met some leather boot, Hagar charged again only to get toss outside the ring. Baron failed to the Starr Treatment and this one is over folks! [b]Winners : Starr & Patterson Rating = B+[/b] [i]We already knew that Patterson and Starr are not a good pairing, but as you can see, I don't care. Not enough selling was displayed, but you know, between an evil russian, a savage viking, a unbeatable champion and former bodybuilder, it was kinda expected. Oh congrats to Baron for not being out of his shoes tonight![/i] [Tonight edition of Sunday Slamfest, unfortunately the last one for some time, ends with Patterson and Micky Starr shaking hands and celebrating with the crowd. Their alliance stood tonight, but how long will it last ?] [b]Rating = A[/b] [FONT="Arial Black"]Global Rating : B[/font] TV Ratings : 22.94 --------- OCC : Unfortunatley, it wasn't enough to keep our TV Show. We took a big prestige hit with this, we're now back to the third rank in America behind CWB and CPCW. At least, we made a little bit of money in our first month I cut back a bit on pictures, I'm not really sure they are necessary for backstage segments. Tell me what you prefer. And if you haven't realized yet, Green speech = staff members, blue speech = faces, red speech = heel. Yeah, I'm that clever... Stay tuned for our next adventures!
