Tradition Dictates That You Be Welcomed... To The Coastal Zone

[infinitywpi]

Sometimes, we luck out. This was one of those times. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! So, Brasil seems to be more than capable of holding the Xtreme Title. We bump him up to Midcarder and decide to see what he can do with a variety of opponents. Worst case, we yank the title off him as fast as we put it on, and put him back in a tag team. So, due to the short news week since the big show, on with the regular show! CZCW Coastal Tour April 2012, week 1, Sunday The Snake Pit, Souhwest USA We open with Donnie J calling out Jim Force. The two argue over who should be saving Fox Mask's bacon, and come to blows over it, setting up... you guessed it, our main event (D) OPENING MATCH Matt Sparrow def. George Wolfe via squash in six (D) SECOND MATCH: Xtreme Ladder Capitao Brasil (c) def. Island Boy Apollo in eighteen minutes (E, bad choice of opponent) Donnie J cuts a promo on Remmy Skye (D) THIRD MATCH Old School (Dragon & Machine) def. Team America (Eagle & Foxx) in seventeen minutes via Termination Kick (D) Old School then challenge Remus & Patriot to defend the tag team titles against a real team (E) MAIN EVENT Jim Force def Donnie J in twenty-three minutes via Full Fo... no, it was supposed to be Donnie J winning... aw, crud... (D) Show Rating: D- .... that really, really sucked. Let's try that again and move right on to the next show, shall we? ... argh. Okay, Bulldog's contract coming up was easy enough to ignore. He's basicly been dead weight. But we screwed up. Snap Dragon's contract came up, and we tried to offer him a raise instead of merchandise... and he kept refusing, and now he won't talk to us. Suckage. CZCW Coastal Tour April 22012, week 2, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA We open with... y'know what? Long story short, we set up the main event (D) OPENING MATCH Lauren the Lion def. Bulldog Reynolds in seven minutes via squash (E+) Donnie J cuts a promo on Skye (D) SECOND MATCH: Xtreme Ladder Capitao Brasil (c) def. Kirk Jameson in fifteen minutes (D+, hey, good chemistry... nice.) Afterwards, Lauren the Lion comes down to say she wants gold again, and she's willing to start with the Xtreme Title. (D) THIRD MATCH: Tag Titles Remus & Patriot (c) def. Old School in eighteen minutes via rollup on Dragon (D) Remmy cuts a promo on Donnie (D-) MAIN EVENT Donnie & Phoenix def. Remmy & Force in sixteen minutes via Death on Miami Beach on Force (D) Show Rating: D Geeze. How in the world can... ah, that might have something to do with it. Wrestling Industry: E and falling. Perhaps people just treat matches as worse than they should be. We'll just keep telling ourselves that... Perhaps this won't be the Year of Cult after all... mid-April and we're failing to make any headway whatsoever... On the next Coastal Zone: Can Lauren and Brasil give us a match to be proud of? Can we convince Dragon to renegotiate? Is Remmy and Donnie going to be the train wreck we suddenly fear it will be? We'll be finding out soon...

[Astil]

Industry at E...ew. That sucks. Hardcore.

[Beeker]

I never want you to make cult, this is cult-lite and I love it. The Coastal Zone without struggles just wouldn't be an infinity Coastal Zone. Completely unrelated to your dynasty... I've created a Sci-Fi RPG with some very smart friends. If you want a link to the website, let me know.

[infinitywpi]

Ignoring appropriate bedtimes since... well, since we started sleeping. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! So, yeah, we're thiking the odds are against us and the situation is grim. But we're gonna give this one hard shot to see if we can pull out a good show... and if we can't, well, all we have to do is ride out the industry, right? CZCW Coastal Tour April 2012, week 3, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA We open with... no, we were supposed to open with a match... aw, hell. Lauren hypes up her WttCZ match (D) OPENING MATCH Lauren, Remus & Patriot def. Team Lucha (Phoenix, Brasil & Mitico) in nineteen minutes via pinfall (C) SECOND MATCH Matt Sparrow def. Kamikaze in seven minutes via Squash (D-, no chem) Backstage, Phoenix and Brasil hype up the match against Lauren (D) THIRD MATCH Donnie J def.

Insane Machine in twenty-six minutes via DQ when Dragon runs down to 'help'. (C) Show Rating: C- That's more like it. We knew the main event would be good... but that six-man turned out even better than we'd hoped. Which means we know who our tag challengers are going to be now. Of course, with one show to hype it... Dear god. BSC has hit Regional. We're doing amazingly poorly, aren't we? Well, let's get this go-home show over with... CZCW Coastal Tour April 2012, week 4, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH Insane Machine def. Kirk Jameson in fifteen minutes via Termination Kick (C-) Promos from: Lauren (D), Remmy, (D-), and Remus & Patriot (D-) SECOND MATCH Team Lucha def. Lauren, Remus, & Patriot in twenty-four minutes via submission (C) Promos from Brasil (D-), Team Lucha (D-), and Donnie (D+) MAIN EVENT Donnie J & Matt Sparrow def. Remmy Skye & Fox Mask in twenty-three mintues via Death On Miami Beach (C) Show Rating: C Booyah! Okay, it's official, we're back. Don't know how we can top that with a big show coming up next, but... hey, we'll still take it. And BSC just fell to Small. Not entirely sure why, but they didn't hire anyone after they grew, so maybe it was a small... roster. That, or they lost a regional battle. To us. Teehee. :) Next time, on the Coastal Zone: Redundnacy Title 2012!

[infinitywpi]

Where being grwn-up and macture means staying up until two in the morning watching Batman cartoons and playing TEW when you have work in the morning: Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Bulldog and Snap Dragon are both gone. We'd let Dragon rest up a bit and then re-hire him; Bulldog we could do without for now. Our new goal: Don't fall below #18 in the rankings.

Next time, on the Coastal Zone: The go-home show for Bash at the Beach, and we go back to milking the 3v3 match for all it's worth!

[infinitywpi]

We should be sleeping, but we've got one more episode of Heroes to get through on TiVo before we're all caught up. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Seriously, we're getting so close we can -taste- Cult. Hitting it at BatB would be awesome. But then, so would a full night's sleep... eh, priorities... Remmington's contract was up for renewal. WE got an idea, tho... CZCW Coastal Tour May 2012, week 4, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA Cliff is now in play-by-play -- now at the color position, the returning Queen Emily!

[infinitywpi]

Welcome to Bash at the Beach 2012! Or is it Battle at the Beach? Whatever.

[infinitywpi]

Short answer: Nope. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Well, we'd never get a shot to hire Mayan Idol away from OLLIE; they just made him their head booker. Hey, how about a current look at the state of the world? America: Economy, E+ and rising. Wrestling: E and rising. Sucks, hardcore, but is getting better slowly. Canada: Economy, B+ and rising. Wrestling, C+ and falling. Currently the best place for wrestling. Mexico: Economy and wrestling both C and falling. Medicore, but with a bad outlook. UK: Economy, F+ and falling. Wrestling, D- and falling. Looking to replace the USA as the epicenter of wrestling suckage. Japan: Economy, C- and rising. Wrestling, D+ and rising. Japan is hoping to overtake Mexico as the second-best place for wrestling next to Canada. Europe: Economy, C and falling. Wrestling, E and falling. It's like a somewhat-richer USA right now. Aussieland: Economy, C- and rising. Wrestling, D+ and rising. Surprisingly, they're giving Japan a run for their money for that #2 spot right now. CZCW Coastal Tour June 2012, week 1, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA (Hey, I don't care how badly we burn them out if we can just reach cUlt...) We open with Remmy Skye announcing his title match for Surf Slam: A triple threat match against Insane Machine and Lauren the Lion (D-) OPENING MATCH Donnie J def.

Lauren & Fox and Machine & Force in twenty-eight minutes via pinfall (C-) Show rating: D+. Ah, well, the occasional mis-step is to be expected. The next show should help improve things a bit. Next time, on the Coastal Zone: Lauren/Machine II! Will the lack of hype make this one a pale imitation of their first encounter?

[infinitywpi]

Wow, when was the last time we played this? Welcome to the Coastal Zone! That's the problem of getting a lot of shows simmed up... we stop playing for a while until we use them up, and now we're all confused... up. So, we re-signed Insane Machine, who had pretty much single-handedly given us a huge boost these last nine months, and also added a new midcarder to the roster. We'd see how well he could do in actual matches, and if he did well, we had big plans for him... We might need them. SWF is trying to poach Remmy Skye! They're still Cult, so we don't think it's a written game, but still... CZCW Coastal Tour June 2012, week 2, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA OPENING SQUASH Kirk Jameson def. Panda Mask II in seven minutes (D-) Phoenix walks Brasil through another promo. I hope Brasil learns to talk soon (E+) SECOND MATCH Donnie J def.

Team America & Jonnie Perez in twenty minutes (D+) Insane Machine hypes Surf Slam (D-) MAIN EVENT Lauren the Lion def. Insane MAchine in twenty-eight minutes via finisher (C) Show rating: D+ Man, we wasted Machine/Lauren II on a D+ show. If only that Donnie/Acid match had chemistry in it... On the next Coastal Zone: We do a quickie show in the Midsouth so they don't forget about us, then it's back to California as we build towards Surf Slam!

[infinitywpi]

Slow week, so it's a two-show special! Welcome to the Coastal Zone! CZCW Coastal Tour June 2012, week 3, Sunday New Mexico Armory, MidSouth USA OPENING SQUASH Remus & Patriot def.

Phoenix, Brasil & Skye in twenty-three minutes via pinfall (C-) Show rating: D. Well, enough to keep us from slipping too far, we hope. Now, to try and put on a killer last-show-before-Surf-Slam... ZCW Coastal Tour June 2012, week 4, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA We open backstage, as Brasil asks Jonnie what his problem is. Jonnie says that he thinks Lucha is childish, and American style is far more dignified. Well, at least we have a reason for this feud now (D-) OPENING MATCH Remus & Patriot def. Team America in thirteen minutes via Patriot Slam (D) Insane Machine hypes Surf Slam (D) SECOND MATCH Insane Machine def. Acid II in thirteen minutes via Termination Kick (D) Lauren hypes Surf Slam (D) THIRD MATCH Lauren the Lion def.

Ultimate Phoenix in twenty-three minutes via SkyeDiver after interference from Remus & Patriot (C-) Show rating: D+ Well... hrm. We seem to be losing out C-/C edge. Well... we'll have to try getting that magic back after Surf Slam. We know we can make Cult this year... but we've burned through half the year now, and we feel like we're wasting time... In news, 4C and USPW both had head booker changes; The Guru is now in charge of USPW, while 4C is goingg to be a force to be reckoned with, as their new head booker is... Nemesis! Next time, on the Coastal Zone: Surf Slam 2012! With one of the worst things that could happen to us!

[FINisher]

I'm just stopping by, saying that I'm reading the diary ^^ I hope that that Surf Slam happening is not going to be the worst thing. Or, it could be sarcasm.. You hit Cult? ;D

Welcome to Surf Slam 2012! Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA July 2012, week 1, Thursday Due to circumstances beyond our control, tonight's main event has changed.

Remus & Patriot in eighteen minutes via Northern Lights Suplex (C) Obligatory main event hype video (D-) MAIN EVENT: Championship Ladder Match Matt Sparrow def. Insane Machine and Lauren the Lion in thirty-three minutes (B-) Show Rating: C Holy... Y'know, when Sparrow comes up for renewal, he can name his price after last night. We needed him to deliver in the clutch, and he delivered overnight with insurance! Almost an hour of ladder matches, a title win, a Best Zone Match Ever, Best Show Ever, and an importance raise... On the next Coastal Zone: Well, Remmy's cutting out on us to focus on other companies. It's time to job the crap out of him.

[FINisher]

Wow! Remmy's out, damn. But what a main event, what a show! ^^

[infinitywpi]

Sometimes, all you need to get going is an injection of adrenaline. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Matt Sparrow, believe it or not, has never held the CZCW Title before. Let's see what he does with it... CZCW Coastal Tour: Job Skye Out Edition! July 2012, week 1, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA We open with Donnie calling out Sparrow, demanding a title match.

Remmy Skye in twenty-three minutes via Death On Miami Beach (C-) Backstage, Team America are bragging about their win over Remmy, when Team Lucha comes up to them, and challenges them to face -two- people instead of just one. Team America tells them to put the titles on the line, and they will. Team Lucha tells them to look forward to September (D) MAIN EVENT: CZCW Title Matt Sparrow def. Remmy Skye in twenty-nine minutes via Birdbainbuster (C) Show rating: C- Oh, c'mon, C-??? On a show where we job out one guy all night? Wow. Heh 'Remmy Skye was used too much'. He's a main eventer. Ah, well. We were going to need to re-order the roster to make up for Remmy leaving... and we decide to let the computer do it for us. The new main event is made of Sparrow, Phoenix, Foce, Donnie, and Fox, while our new upper midcard is Lauren, Machine, Remus, Patriot, and Kirk. That will hopefully last us for a while. Hrm. Kamikaze Vars and Jonnie Perez are becoming good friends. Eeeeenteresting. And since we seem to be doing two-show posts lately... CZCW Coastal Tour July 2012, week 2, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA We open with Fox Force Five discussing which of them should be the next contender. Insane Machine comes out to say it should be him. Sparrow comes out with a suggestion... him and Machine vs Fox Force Five, winning pin gets to pick the contender (D) OPENING MATCH Donnie J def. Bobby Thomas & George Wolfe in eight minutes via finisher (D) Donnie J then tries to goad Sparrow into giving him a match, but gets no response (D+) SECOND MATCH Team America def. Jonnie Perez & Kamikaze Vars in twelve minutes when Capitao Brazil shows up to attack Perez when Vars needed a tag (D-) Avid II runs into Lauren backstage, and requests the honor of a match.

Sparrow & Machine in twenty-four minutes, Fox rolls up Sparrow (C-) Show Rating: D ... you're kidding. A D? Okay, so even Lauren can't get Acid to a better match than Donnie J in a handicap match against jobbers, and the main event lacks a certain something something. This... does not bode well for the future. Next time, on the Coastal Zone: We thought we'd shaken off the doldrums. Looks like we were wrong. Is it too late to hire back Remmy to job for three matches every night?

[infinitywpi]

We used to think we knew how to play the game. We were wrong. Then we thought we were getting the hang of it. Turns out we were wrong again. The only thing we're sure of lately? Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Seriously, this is getting rediculous. We can only hope this Sparrow/Fox match gives us a decent main event. CZCW Coastal Tour July 2012, week 3, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA We open with Donnie J callin out Sparrow, demanding the next title match.

Fox Mask in twenty-nine minutes (D+) Show Rating: D+ Okay... did we know Matt and Fox had no chemistry? Let's see... yeap, they faced off in 2008, and again in 2010. Huh. No wonder we didn't remember it. So much for that idea. Luckily, Reach For The Sky was one of those shows that gave us two months to build up to it... maybe we can manage to get a better defense out of Matt. Crud. BSC just rose to Regional size again. They sent us an email asking why we're having trouble getting it up, and if we need help with our lack of swelling. We hate them. CZCW Coastal Tour July 2012, week 4, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH Donnie J def Fox Mask in eighteen minutes via finisher (D+) Donnie then calls out Sparrow again, saying he beat Fox faster than Sparrow did. Sparrow coems out and considers, and grants Donnie a title match at Reach for the Sky (D+) SECOND MATCH Jonnie Perez & Team America def.

Kirk Jameson in nine minutes (D-) Backstage, LAruen and Machine decide they need one more match to settle things between them, at Reach for the Skye (D) MAIN EVENT Sparrow & Machine def. Lauren & Force in twenty-one minutes via Birdbrainbuster (D+) Show Rating: D+ Y'know what? Maybe we should just give up. Accept being 'cult-lite' and never being bigger. on the next Coastal Zone: One mone to Reach For The Sky. Can we build up enough matches for a blow-away card, or will we wallow in mediocrity?

[sabataged]

Face it you got 'cult classic' written all over you. This makes the mountain top even more enjoyable....or something completely gay like that

[infinitywpi]

Making the same jokes over and over again -- Welcome to Family Gu... erm, I mean, Welcome to the Coastal Zone! BSC fell to Small size. Say it with me: "Looks like they're going down again!"

Matt & Brasil in twenty minutes via pinfall (C-) Show rating: D+ .... yeah, we were expecting Fox and Patriot to turn out a C-. Maybe that was being overly optimistic. But yeah, we seem to have lost that mojo we had a while ago. Maybe all we have to do is hold out for the wrestling industry to pick up a bit... maybe we should tinker with the product a little... we weren't quite sure. We'd put off any serious changes until after Reach for the Sky, maybe. CZCW Coastal Tour August 2012, week 2, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA We open with Matt Sparrow announcing the main event, a big four on four tag match. And he'll give whoever gets the pinfall a title shot next week (D) OPENING MATCH Kirk Jameson def.

Fox Force Five, Lauren, & Donnie in thirty-three minutes via Termination Kick (C-) Show Rating: D+. ???? Okay, y'know what... no more worrying about show ratings. Although we'll have to remember that Kirk and Acid have good chemistry... that could be a good Xtreme-level feud if we need it in the future. Next time, on the Coastal Zone: The final buildup to Reach for the Sky as we try to put on one hell of a show! We take a side-trip through the Mid-South, and try to get people to care about the Xtreme Title match.

[infinitywpi]

Yeah, yeah, Welcome to the Coastal Zone, where we're in a rut. CZCW Coastal Tour August 2012, week 3, Sunday West Texas Colaseeyum, Midsouth USA OPENING MATCH Team America & Donnie J def.

CZCW Coastal Tour August 2012, week 4, Sunday Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA We open with Sparrow revealing Donnie J has left, and that with everyone else busy, he's got Reach for the Sky off. Queen Emily says that's not so, and she's bringing in someone to face Sparrow... RIPW's own main eventer, Clark Alexander. And he's here tonight. (D+) OPENING MATCH: Xtreme Lucha Capital Brasil (c) def. El Mitico in seventeen minutes via DQ when Jonnie Perez runs in with a chair and anti-lucha slogans (D). Afterwards, Team America take out a partnerless Mitico (E+) Sparrow cuts a promo on Alexander. "RIPW? That's hwere you go if you're not willing to work your way up the ladder." (D+) SECOND MATCH Jim Force def.

Sparrow & Machine in thirty minutes via Hawaiian Breaker (C) Show rating: D+ (Curse that Force/Patriot pairing... we'll remember their lack of chemistry one of these days!) On the next Coastal Zone: Reach For The Sky 2012!

[Astil]

I predict Clark and Matt have no chemistry. Also, has Insane held the title before?

[infinitywpi]
