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

[infinitywpi]

Welcome to... Welcome to the Coastal Zone! May 2009, week 1, Wednesday From the Sold-Out Snake Pit, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH: Battle Royal The Big Problem def. Acy Youngblood, Jimmy Foxx, Jordan, Moose, Speedball, Remus, Cougar, Dragon, and Smart in eleven minutes (D-) Backstage, The Jungle Rulers corner Kirk Jameson and make rather overt threats about his title. Kirk scoffs... but as they leave, he looks concerned (D+) SECOND MATCH Donnie J def. CLM in fourteen minutes via finisher (D-) Kirk goes to Fox with his fears of the Jungle Rulers interfering in both their matches. Fox brushes off the threat, saying he already has to worry about three people -- four isn't that much more of a problem (D) Championship Hype Video (D-). Why it's here, we don't know. THIRD MATCH Fumihiro Ota def. Ultimate Phoenix in sixteen minutes via Ninja Strike (D) FOURTH MATCH: CZCW Title Jungle Jack def. Stevie Greyson, Jack Griffith, and Fox Mask(c) in twenty-six minutes after Jungle Lauren comes out and.... does... and exotic jungle tribal dance to distract everyone while Jack rolls up Stevie for the win (C-) Jack and Lauren celebrate as they bring out the ladders for the main event (D+) MAIN EVENT: Xtreme Ladder Match Jungle Lauren def. Kirk Jameson in twenty minutes after Jack returns to ringside and does the Jungle Dance to distract Kirk (C-) Show rating: D+ To be fair, we cheated a bit... as we were doing the writeup and typing up the last match, the power cord came out of the laptop. So when we rebooted, we shuffled a few matches around. Originally, it was the Xtreme Match getting a C, followed by a D CZCW Title match. I think it turned out better this way. But we're not going to make a habit of that.

Where sometimes, you just gotta fish Legos out of the shower drain: Welcome to the Coastal Zone. And yes, that is a deep, existential pilosophy-like way of looking at life. Or maybe just a comment from my life. Take your pick. Ah, life with a four-year-old... CZCW Coastal Tour May 2009, week 1, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA We open with the Jungle Rulers celebrating with the Jungle Dance, but of course Fox and Kirk come out, upset and demanding a rematch. The Jungle Rulers tell them that they'll give them a rematch... but not for singles titles, for the Tag Titles, at Surf Slam. (D+) OPENING MATCH The Big Problem def. California Love Machine in ten minutes via Chokeslam (E) SECOND MATCH Fumihiro Ota def. Rod Remus in six minutes via Ninja Strike (E+) Jack Griffith is out, and he calls Stevie Greyson down to the ring, blaming him for the debacle that was WttCZ's main event. Stevie blames Jack, and really, they're both wrong but they decide to interject themselves into the main event tonight anyway, and they'll settle things at Surf Slam (D) MAIN EVENT: Six-Man Tag Fox MAsk, Stevie Greyson, and Kirk Jameson def. Jungle Jack, Jungle Lauren, and Jack Griffith in twenty-one minutes via Fox Hunter (D+) Show rating: D Well, good main event, but we really need to find something else to follow it up with. We're also happy with The Big Problem's improements in Stamina. Slow week... Queen Emily began working for FCW... Marc Speed changed styles to SUper Junior... that's about it. CZCW Coastal Tour May 2009, week 2, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA We open with Jack and Stevie getting in each other's faces backstage, until they decide to do 'pick your poison' tonight (D-) OPENING MATCH Marc Speed and Snap Dragon go to a double count-out by brawling all over the place (D-) Hype video for the tag team match at Surf Slam (D-) SECOND MATCH The Big Problem def.

Fumihiro Ota in twenty-four minutes after multiple attempts at interference by Stevie Griffith (D) Show Rating: D Now as good as we'd hoped for those two, but still enough ot keep increasing our popularity in the Mid-South. We can't complain about that. On the next Coastal Zone: The build to Surf Slam continues. They lost their singles titles; can Fox Mask and Kirk Jameson pull it together as a team to get some revenge?

Longing for the day when we can get a TV show on a decent network: Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Seriously, we might be able to get an hour-long sow on Mexican TV and get a flatline for ratings... even ECW got better than that... CZCW Coastal Zone May 2009, week 3, Sunday Piper Casino, Southwest USA We open with the Jungle Rulers in the ring again, gloating again, when Fox and Kirk come out. Words are exchanged, etc, etc, etc, and we settle on tonight being 'switch opponents' night: Fox will face Lauren, and Jack will face Kirk, both in non-title matches (D+, D) OPENING MATCH Jungle Jack def. Kirk Jameson in eighteen minutes via finisher after interference from both Jungle Lauren and Fox Mask (C-) The Jungle Rulers then cut a promo on the pair, gloating about how next they're going to go 2 for 2 (D+) Hype video for the Stevie/Jack feud, to give the workers some rest (E+) MAIN EVENT Fox Mask def. Jungle Lauren in twenty-two minutes via finisher after interference by both Jungle Jack and Kirk Jameson (C-) Show Rating: D+. .... oh, come on, you're telling me that hype video knocked us out of C- range? Dammit... we almost had a C- show... Oh, well. But we're generating decent heat -- this may be the highest-rated tag match in our history. And a pair of C- matches on one show is nothing to sneeze at... for us.. which is, y'know, sad. And then, karma bites us. Sine he's working three, even four days a week, Jungle Jack has suffered a bruised tailbone, defeating Metle O'Curle in GCG. That's going to put a crimp in our plans... CZCW Coastal Tour May 2009, week 3, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA OPENING MATCH: Tag Fox Mask & Kirk Jameson def. Air Force One in twelve minutes, despite the distraction of Jungle LAuren (D-) Fox and Kirk taunt Lauren, but Jack comes out and the war of words continues, with Fox and Kirk deciding that the Jungle Rulers need to have matches tonight... and Farrah agrees (D). Fox picks The Big Problem to face Jack (E+), and Kirk picks Remmy to face Lauren (E)... and these are title matches. SECOND MATCH: CZCW Title Jungle Jack(c) def. The Big Problem in nine minutes via DQ when Fox Mask runs in and blindsides him. TBP is less than happy (D-) Remmy Skye cuts a promo on Lauren, saying tonight he hopes her mind in on her little feud... so he can sneak in and grab her title (D-) MAIN EVENT: Xtreme Ladder Jungle Lauren def. Remmy Skye in eighteen minutes despite Kirk Jameson's interference (and catching a ladder for his troubles) (D) Show rating: D Good news: Jack's tailbone healed up before our big show! It's on now! Next time, on the Coastal Zone: CZCW Surf Slam 2009!

Next time, on the Coastal Zone: Yeah, nothing we can do will top that, so... we'll still try.

Where we're back after a sudden laptop hard drive failure... Welcome to the Coastal Zone! I swear, the number of laptop hard drives I gothough, my crotch must be magnetic. There's a wrestling gimmick in that, somewhere. So, we had a new dominant heel tag team holding all our gold and so far thwarting all our heroes' attempts to get it back. Where do we go from here? CZCW Coastal Tour June 2009, week 1, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA We open with Fox Mask in th ering, saying he played by the rules... he had the tag match... now, he wants his Championship back. He's not answered by Jungle Jack, he's answered by The Big Problem, who tells Fox to get the hell out of the way and let other people have a shot. YOu guessed it, we set up a match for tonight (D-) OPENING MATCH Kirk Jameson def. Marc Speed in twelve minutes via pinfall (D) After the match, Fox and Kirk discuss their options. "Look, you beat Lauren... you take my Xtreme Title shot. At least we'll have a good shot at getting one of the belts off them." "No. I want my belt, and I'm going to get my belt." (D+) SECOND MATCH: Tag Snap Dragon & Stevie Greyson def.

Welcome Back To The Coastal Zone, Pee-Wee Germaine! Why? Well, he's over a thousand a show less than Farrah. It should help us get back to four digits of loss per month instead of five. CZCW Coastal Tour June 2009, week 2, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA Backstage, The Big Problem mentions how tonight, everyone in the Championship Match is picking a partner for a tag title match tonight, and he needs a partner. It turns out he's talking to Ultimate Phoenix, who accepts (D-) OPENING MATCH Snap Dragon def. Ace Youngblood in fourteen minutes via finisher (E) Welcome to the Coastal Zone, Extraordinario Jr! He says he's here because it's the best place outside MExico to find luchadores... or at least, it used to be. So, c'mon, where's his competition? (E) SECOND MATCH: Lucha Masked Cougar def. Extraordinario Jr in fourteen minutes via finsiher (F+) Hype for Battle at the Beach (E+) MAIN EVENT: Tag Titles Jungle Rulers (c) def. Fox & Jameson and Problem & Phoenix in thirteen minutes via DQ when Phoenix clobbers Lauren with a small stepladder and throws his hat into the ring for the Xtreme Title (D+) Show rating: D- Okay, two really poor matches... but we got yet another high-level "Who knew?" great cehmistry note, as Problem and Pheonix do great together. Two high-level, great-chemistry teams? We'll have to take advanatage of that. On the next Coastal Zone: The build for Battle at the Beach continues, with two big title matches... and the first Battle At The Beach Tournament!

[infinitywpi]

Where we're proud to be part of a record-setting event, Welcome to the Coastal Zone! ... altho we'd rather the event be Zone related, instead of saying "Nine bucks of that $19 million The Dark Knight made at midnight were mine." I'll take what I can get. And, after yet another Slow News Week, here we go again! CZCW Coastal Tour June 2009, week 3, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH The Big Problem def.

[QUOTE]We open with Emily and Farrah running down the three cage matches for tonight and reminding us that the losing girl will have to do whatever the winning girl says[/QUOTE] Love the diary so far its crisp and fastpaced just as the zone should be. Stil wondering what the winner made the other one do tough? All that build up and no Comedy/T&A payoff? Oh and if I remember correctly you said Jamison showed up in your destiny part of the creative meeting and vanished, that happens when they get to upper midcard/main event level, the AI kinda thinks they have reached their destiny by then, don´t worry he still has high destiny and hasn´t reached his skill/overness cap at all.

Where we're starting to be noticed... unfortunately. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Well, TCW just hit Global size... and they're making a move on Jungle Jack, Jack Griffith, and Farrah Hesketh. Good thing we hired Pee-Wee... and good thing we made that decision in the main event... pity tho, that was a great team... CZCW Coastal Tour July 2009, week 1, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA We open with Jack and Lauren irate at the Big Problem, and Jack begins outlining his plan to get his title back, but the two are interrupted by Fox and Kirk. Fox wants his title back from Jack... but since Jack doesn't have it, well, they'll take a tag match. And Kirk adds in that it'll be under Xtreme rules... which means, Lauren will have her second Ladder Match in under a week. (D) OPENING MATCH: CZCW Title The Big Problem (c) def. Jack Griffith in twelve minutes via Chokeslam (E+) and a short victory celebration (E+) MAIN EVENT: Tag Ladder Match Fox Mask & Kirk Jameson def. The Jungle Rulers(c) in twenty-eight minutes (C-) Show rating: D Well, we were hoping for TBP to do better, but... We would go on to lose Jungle Jack, Jack Griffith, and Farrah Hesketh to TCW. As stated earlier, we had Pee-Wee to handle reffing duties, but losking the two Jacks was going to be a bit of a blow... but you know what that makes our next show? That's right... a Job Them Out Special! And we'll include someone who's being a butt about their contract on that list as well... CZCW Coastal Tour July 2009, week 2, Sunday The Snake Pit, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH: CZCW Title Donnie J def. The Big Problem(c) in twelve minutes after foreign object (E+) Afterwards, Jungle Jack comes out and says he wants that title back.

Jungle Jack in eigghteen minutes via finisher (D+) Show Rating: D Yeah, Big Problem would be leaving us shortly, as he for some reason didn't recognize the title run we gave him and refused to negotiate with us... so we took the title off him ASAP. Big Jerk. On the next Coastal Zone: Damage Control. Special Programming Note: Anyone remember about a year and a half ago when I did a short dynasty called WWE: Aftermath, about what happens in the WWE after a plane crash takes out several dozen workers and staff, including Vince, Steph, Cena, and HBK... and then I stopped updating it after one of the WWE's planes suffered an engine failure and I got a little freaked out by the coincidence? Well... it's back, and I've got a year's worth of stuff to catch up on... Look for it updating twice a week in a dynasty section near you!

Subject to raiding by the bigger feds since... well, the day we were born. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! So in the space of one week, we've lost arguebaly the best man on the roster and part of a dominant tag team (Jungle Jack), a guy who had great chemistry with Fox Mask and could put on good matches with several peopl e(Jack Griffith), our ref/announcer/jill of all trades (Farrah) and one-half of a well-performing potential future tag team with Phoenix (Problem). This... sucked. CZCW Coastal Tour July 2009, week 3, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA Runtime Error 381. ... let's try that again... okay, here goes. OPENING MATCH: 10 Man Mayhem Newcomer Yusuke Takahama def. Speedball, Moose, Reeves, Extraordinate, Jackpot, Smart, Cougar, Ace, and Remus (E+) Donnie J makes an open challenge for tonight (D-) SECOND MATCH: Tag Titles Fox & Kirk (c) def.

Ultimate Poenix in seventeen minutes via finisher (D) Show Rating: D We admit, we're in a holding pattern right now... Wave of Fury is mostly going to suck because our plans have been really derailed. And speaking of Derailed: Yusuke Takahama won last night's Ten Man Mayhem match, but not without... BREAKING HIS FREAKIN' NECK???? Oh, good god... how in the... See, this is why we don't hire peopel from overseas. They're deceptively fragile.

[infinitywpi]

Padding out bad shows with filler? Sure, why not. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! As promised, it's SWF vs TCW Head-To-Head! SWF has the edge in importance right now... Champions: SWF's World Heavyweight Championship is B+ prestige, held by Christian Faith on his fifth reign. The North American title (C prestige) belong to Angry Gilmore (third reign). The Shooting Star champion (E- prestige) is Steven Parker (Former Zoner James Prudence held it from March 2009 to... oh, last week), and the Tag Titles (C- prestige) are held by Elmo and Groucho (third reign). In TCW, the World Heavyweight Championship (B prestige) is held by Tyson Baine (third reign). The International title (C+) is Shawn Gonzales' for the first time. The All Action title (E+) belongs to Edd Stone, and the Tag Champs (D+) are Rick Law and Eddie Peak. Looking at it title-wise, we have to give the edge to SWF here. Main Eventers: SWF has Angry Gilmore, Christian Faith, Jack Bruce, Joe Sexy, Lobster Warrior, Remo, Rich Money, Runaway Train, Steve Frehley, and Vengance. TCW has John Anderson, Ricky Dale Johnson, Sam Keith, Scout, Sean McFly, Tommy Cornell, Troy Tornado, and Tyson "BLZ Bubb" Baine . Based on sheer numbers, SWF gets the edge here again. Other workers of note (Meaning, non-main-eventers and non-title-holders with B- or higher momentum): TCW has Brent "Wrestling Machine #2" Hill, Clark Alexander, Dan Stone Jr, Freddy Huggins, Genghis Rahn, Guide, Joey Minnesota, Rocky Golden, Sammy Bach, and Wolf Hawkins. SWF has Atlas, Big Smack Scott, Brandon James, Cheetah Boy, Chris Caufield, Fred Antonio Garcia, Jack Geidyroc, James Prudence, John Greed, Kurt Laramee, Marc DuBois, Robbie Retro, and Valiant. That's 10 to 13, SWF wins. Former Zoners: TCW has Mikey James, Jack MArlow, Jack Griffith, Farrah Hesketh, and Plague. SWF has Citizen X, James Prudence, and Matt Sparrow. e give this one to TCW. So, yes, SWF is still firmly in the #1 spot, but TCW has the all-important 'Zone Boost' from STEALING OUR MAIN EVENT!!!!!

Barrelling towards the future without a road map: Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Well... last time we needed direction, we booked two shows ahead and took advantage of the extra time to hype matches... so let's try that again. We'll just treat Reach For The Sky as a typical show, and book stuff for Hardcore Halloween.

(D-) Show Rating: D- Well, gotta admit, we were hoping for better. But, amist the flurry of re-signings going on, we picked up another new talent, Island Boy Apollo. We figured he was young enough to pick up some techniccal or flying skills. Hopefully he'd last longer than the last new guy. CZCW Coastal Tour August 2009, week 2, Sunday Colorado Springs Bar, Midsouth USA OPENING MATCH Island Boy Apollo def. Jackpot Jordan in nine minutes via finisher (E-) SECOND MATCH: Tag Titles Air Force One def. Fox & Kirk (c) in seventeen minutes via pinfall after ref distraction (D) Afterwards, Fox and Kirk argue over who's fault it was that they just lost their tag titles... again... and nearly come to blows over it (E+) MAIN EVENT: Xtreme Title Jungle Lauren (c) def. Remmy Skye in seventeen minutes via finisher (D-) Afterwards, Lauren announces the new rules for Xtreme Contendership. Anyone who wants a shot at her has to beat two other people who want a shot at her. So let the games begin (D) Show Rating: D- On the next Coastal Zone: Who said Lauren can make the rules? Are our top faces fighting amongst themselves? Can the new guy put on a better match if we give him a good opponent?

[infinitywpi]

Where we're already sick of the message 'Yusuke Takahama not available for this show'... but if we fire him, we have to find someone to take his spot on the roster.

And we'll fix that by hiring on a few (relatively) big names to provide our guys some competition. CZCW Coastal Tour September 2009, week 2, Southwest Piper Casino, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH: Tag Titles Air Force One (c) def. Rod Remus & Marc Speed in five minutes via flash pin on Remus (D-) Stevie Greyson comes out to remind us all Donnie J is scared of him.

Donnie's friend turns out to be... Genio Verde, now on a full Zone contract! Stevie looks shocked for ten seconds, then says, "Wow... I thought I was the only one who got a friend of mine a contract last weekend. Donnie, meet my partner... Teddy Powell!" (D) SECOND MATCH Fumihiro Ota def. Kirk Jameson, despite a Fox Mask distraction, when Jungle Lauren interferes in fifteen minutes (D-). Oh, yeah, they don't click... forgot. After the match, Kirk and Lauren argue over wether Kirk deserves a title shot (D). And backstage, Ota gets in Fox's face about showing respect, and Fox reminds Ota he's a former champion, and Ota's the one who acts like he owns the place (D-) MAIN EVENT: Tag Stevie Greyson & Teddy Powell def. Donnie J & Genio Verde in seventeen minutes, Stevie pins Donnie (D) Show Rating : D- I know what you're thinking. The main even got a D? How? Well... turns out Tevie and Teddy have no chemistry.

On the next Coastal Zone: We lose two main eventers, we hire three more. Who's the third man enteringg the Zone?

Where one day we'll have someone enter the Hall of Immortals. That day: Sometime in 2035. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Yeap, new member of the HoI: Dread. Good for him. Never saw that much in him myself, but I'm not on the HoI board. Oh, and we didn't get our third man; we wanted to focus on his other contract. Well, we still got two people, so that's good.

In fact, he's had the shot for weeks now and hasn't realized it. She's just softening him up first (D-) MAIN EVENT Genio Verde def Ultimate Phoenix in nineteen minutes via DQ (Sense a theme for the night?) when Teddy runs in and attacks him (D) Show rating: D- Genio and Phoenix don't click? Odd. They had a B- match in Mexico back in July. Stupid American fans don't appreciate good Luchadores... Joining Dread in the Hall of Immortals: Sam Keith. That one, makes sense to me. And finally, Stevie Greyson is sucking up to Queen Emily in online interviews. Always good to have one of the announce team on your side, right? Annnnd the freakin' power cord came out again. Argh. I forget if anything happened between that show and the next, to be honest... I think it was just re-signing people.

Plans to expand should be made carefully, worked out for months, and then acted upon... not simply jumped into. But then, Welcome to the Coastal Zone! The Mid-South can hold for a month. We're going to make a big push to raise our popularity with a string of Southwest shows. We're hoping that, with the new talent and new titleholders, we can pull off multiple D+ shows.

Where we think the Japanese wrestlers in this game are way too fragile: Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Yasunobu Masuno, one of the biggest native wrestlers in Japan, severed his spinal column. Some other midcarder disaligned his. The guy we brought over had a broken neck; do the JApanese have geneticly weak spines and necks? Ultimate Phoenix is now solely ours, having left MPWF. No idea who's choice that was, really. We'd have to make a decision to either use him more often, or just use his aging reputation to try to make someone else's rep. Given our history, what d oyou think we're choosing? CZCW Coastal Tour October 2009, Week 3, Sunday Piper Casino, Southwest USA OPENING MATCH: Tag Titles Air Force One (c) def. Ace Youngblood & Jackpot Jordan (D-) SECOND MATCH: Xtreme Title Kirk Jameson (c) def.

Show Rating: D I'm starting to think we just need to make the Xtreme Title our main event for all the shows... MAW has hit Regional size. We are now officially -way- behind the curve. CZCW Coastal Tour October 2009, week 4, Sunday Piper Casino, Southwest USA We open with Kirk Jameson cutting a promo, telling Fox Mask that he's going to show what respect is all about... tonight, he'll face the man Fox refused to respect, FUmihiro Ota, because he deserves a title shot... and Fox doesn't.
