TCW: Trust Your Nemesis

Antithesis · June 6, 2008

Sometime during the summer of 2007… I had just changed clothes after my morning jog when I noticed the blinking light on my answering machine. I went ahead and sorted through my mail, taking the time to drink a glass of water and relax. Who knew that trying to live a healthy lifestyle could be so tiring? Eventually, I made my way over to the machine. Beep “Hello, Richard Eisen here. I know it’s been quite some time, but I’d like to let bygones be bygones and sit down to have a serious discussion with you about the future. If you are interested, just call my secretary back and she’ll work out the details for a meeting. Of course I’ll pay for all the travel expenses. You prefer flying coach, right?” Haha! That Eisen, what a joker. What had it been, almost eleven years since he fired me? We hadn’t talked since then. I guess the rumors about Sam Keith and the booking team in SWF had been true. That had to be it, as I doubt he could ever trust me enough to be on air talent. Nope, he wouldn't want me near a live microphone. The light was still blinking. Beep “Hey there old buddy. Long time no see. Word is Eisen is wanting to make you an offer. Before you even consider it, just know that I have a spot for you as well. Give me a call. Later” Damn no more blinking light. And just as I was thinking there would be offers from the Stones and the DeColts too. Well, I guess I’d just have to settle for Richard Eisen or Tommy Cornell to bolster my feelings of self-worth. Bolster was the word of the day on my Word A Day Calendar. It meant a cushion, and also to provide support. What can I say? It had been a rough year so far. Though, maybe these two messages could lead to something different. I wasn’t going to hold my breath. After-all, Richard Eisen fired me once, over ten years ago, and he and I have been at war ever since. And Tommy, well he was involved with my firing, as well as playing a part in the downfall of my dream. But hey, that’s the wrestling business for ya. Friends today, enemies tomorrow, friends again the day after that. It all comes down to money, which, I reminded myself, was something I had in short supply. So, Maybe I’ll call them both back and find out why it is they want to be buddies again. I chuckled at the thought. As if you could ever trust your Nemesis.

Dear Diary, Well I’ll skip the niceties and the not-so-niceties. (Niceties is the word for today, just so you know) I signed with TCW and should make my official debut in January. Not only will I be on air, but Tommy gave me the book. I don’t think he’s worried about SWF knocking him down, or Sam Strong’s group encroaching upon him so much as he thinks TCW has lost its edge. Though I’d argue they never had an ‘edge’ to them to start with. He’s looking for a hint of chaos in Tradition Updated. I can’t say if it will work, what with my vision being a failure and all. Pfft. That’s right, I actually wrote out the “Pfft’. Regardless, the main thing for me to remember is that this business isn’t about sponsors, or skits, or TnA. Its about something primal… warrior vs warrior. If I can remember that in the days ahead, I should be ok. In the meantime I have a couple of months to throw some ideas together. Though I have the basic idea for the first T.V. card of 2008. It should look something like this: Sammy Bach vs A Soiled Diaper (I am kidding) Sammy Bach vs Chance Fortune Koshiro Ino vs Ronnie V. Pain Rick law vs American Buffalo Eddie Peak and Tyson Baine vs Brent Hill and John Anderson Rocky Golden vs Sam Keith Ricky Dale Johnson vs Tommy Cornell Hmm. After looking over the card all I can think of is finding a stiff drink. If the card succeeds, great, TCW survives another week. If it fails, our plans will have to change drastically. Just like old times.

Well, the word for today is sobriety. Specifically, I wonder if I can maintain mine. I didn’t know if some of the egos walking around here would be easy to work with. Somehow, I managed, and the card should go ahead as planned. I probably spent the most time talking with Tommy and RDJ. Not that there was a problem there, just that we need this to be perfect. Whether the company floats or sinks, ultimately, could be riding on this. Everything else was surprisingly ok. Here is how the night went down. Total Championship Wrestling Presents: Week One, January, 2008 Live at The Utah Park Reservation. In front of 14,742 people. The Pre show [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RobertOxford.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/AaronAndrews.jpg[/IMG] Robert Oxford vs Aaron Andrews There are a lot of plans for this kid. But being that he is just enhancement talent at the moment, he’ll have to wait until things develop to create a scenario where he can move up. It is a pretty even match. Robert feeds him plenty of offense. But after nine minutes, Robert finished the match with a nice looking gut-wrench suplex from the second rope. [B]Winner: Robert Oxford[/B] Rating: C Next, Laura Huggins and her brother Freddy walk down to the ring. Laura wastes no time on the microphone. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/LauraCatherineHuggins.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/FreddyHuggins.jpg[/IMG] “Danny Fonzarelli, you call yourself Doctor Love. Doctor Lard is more like it. After my brother gets done beating about 80 pounds of industrial waste off of your blubber butt, you might have a chance of getting a girl like me. Hmm. Nah! What you need is an image makeover, so get to the ring and get one free, courtesy of Huggins Inc.” Danny is already sprinting down to the ring. The match is about to start. Rating: C- [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/FreddyHuggins.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/DannyFonzarelli.jpg[/IMG] Freddy Huggins vs Danny Fonzarelli This match is short but sweet. Freddy dominated the first few minutes until Danny made his comeback, which is when Laura jumped on the ring side apron and tried to be a distraction. Of course, that backfired when Danny kissed her, which caused her to have a bout of the dry heaves. Freddy jumped Danny from behind and tried to send him into the ropes, but Danny reversed, which sent Freddy colliding with his sister still on the apron. Danny then hit a Retro Rocket for the 1 2 3. [B]Winner: Danny Fonzarelli[/B] Rating: C And now we start the main show. The music begins from TCW’s new T.V. intro (don’t worry, the naughty words are blanked out on the broadcast version)

Before the smoke clears from the pyro, Jason Azaria speaks. Alongside him are Kyle Rhodes and Shawn Doakes. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JasonAzaria.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KyleRhodes.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/ShawnDoakes.jpg[/IMG] “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us tonight, in what marks the very first TCW show of 2008! I am joined by my colleagues Kyle Rhodes and Shawn Doakes. We are here live at the Utah Parks Reservation, which many of you may not know, is the last habitat on earth for the endangered Zymphiri Dung Beatle!” “Speaking of dung beatles,” Kyle Rhodes interjects, “lets talk about the Syndicate. Everyone knows that last year they sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world, capturing all the major titles in TCW and then openly declared that no one could oppose them. You have to believe that tonight they will want to make a statement for 2008.” “I have got to agree with that assessment Kyle,” Shawn adds, “but we have to keep in mind that the Syndicate hasn’t taken over completely. Some of the biggest stars in TCW have gone on record as saying that they will fight the Syndicate to the bitter end. This includes Rocky Golden, Tyson Baine, and even Genghis Rahn. The question I have is who-“ Tommy Cornell’s music begins to play. “Ah hell! Rough Justice Tommy Cornell is making his way down to ringside, apparently he has some answers for everyone in attendance and the millions watching at home.” Tommy steps into the ring. He is dressed in an immaculate custom made suit. On his fingers are several expensive rings. On his wrist, a diamond Rolex. And of course, draped over his shoulder is the TCW World Heavyweight Championship belt. He grabs a microphone. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt3.jpg[/IMG] “Well, well, well. Fifteen thousand people here all to see who we are going to beat up next. You know, it is hard work being this damn good!” The crowd boos. “No, I mean it. Look at me. Handsome, intelligent, virtually unbeatable in the ring or outside of it. And to top it off, I am rich. Seriously, get a shot of this mister camera man.” Tommy holds up his left pinky finger. The gaudy ring that adorns it sparkles in the light. “This ring is worth a lot more than the trailers most of you call home. Like I said, it is hard work being this good. That is why I am here to announce that for 2008, the Syndicate is going on a little vacation. I had my attorney, by the way, attorney is another word for lawyer, for all of you that just got out on bond. As I was saying, I had my attorney check over the bylaws of TCW and it turns out that champions are only required to defend their titles once every thirty days. So what I am here to announce is that the Syndicate is about to all go on vacation.” An old woman brandishing an 11 inch long Knitting needle tries to jump into the ring, but security tackles her. “What I am saying is that the Syndicate, having taken over wrestling, is now too important for this show. Of course, Sam and the Machines are contractually obligated to compete tonight. Once they have destroyed their opponents we, along with Wolf, are all going to jump on my private jet and fly out to L.A., where we have all been invited by Hugh Hefner to attend a private party at the PlayBoy Mansion. Then tomorrow we all plan-“ The crowd erupts as Ricky Dale Johnson’s music silences Tommy. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg[/IMG] Kyle: Thank heavens its RDJ! Jason: These two men have a storied rivalry that literally spans several years. If there is one man in this company that can shut Tommy Cornell up, it’s the man walking to the ring right now! RDJ and Tommy stare intently at each other while RDJ’s theme continues to play. Once it ends, RDJ is the first to speak. “Seems like you and your friends have been busy making a bunch of plans. But I guess you forgot all about poor old RDJ. Well let me remind you. I am the guy that can walk over there and stomp you down like the two bit punk you really are.” “Whoa whoa whoaaa!” Tommy moves closer to RDJ. “Before you go making threats and taking trips down memory lane, let me remind you that it was YOU that I beat for this title thirteen months ago. You had plenty of time to get it back since then, but you can’t, because I am better than you. And as far as your threat goes, you know I have several friends that might take exception to that. In Fact it looks like they are on their way here right now!” Tommy motions to the aisle, and RDJ turns to look. That is when Tommy lunges with the title belt as weapon. RDJ quickly turns and ducks, and he lands a boot square in Tommy’s gut. RDJ then hits a quick knee lift. Referees and road agents run down to the ring just slightly ahead of the Syndicate. Tommy manages to slide out of the ring while clutching his nose… it appears his nose has been busted. He joins up with his Syndicate pals and turns to face RDJ. Someone hands him a mic. “You have done it now, you moron! You want a match? Fine! Hell it will even be for the title. But let me warn you now, get your affairs in order. After tonight you’ll be spending a long time in the hospital!” RDJ says nothing in reply. We fade to commercial with him staring out of the ring at Tommy. Rating: B+ Jason: Welcome back fans. If you just joined us you missed a confrontation between Syndicate leader Tommy Cornell and his long time rival, Ricky Dale Johnson. Words and punches were exchanged, all leading to a World Heavyweight title match tonight. Kyle: I can’t wait to see that! The rumor is the production crew is putting together a video package to highlight this old feud that seems to have rekindled here tonight! And to think that these two will be fight once again for the title! Shawn: Speaking of titles, we have a title match coming up. Samhaine Sammy Bach defends his All Action title against Chance Fortune. Jason: Now here’s a little fact you may not know, the word Samhaine is a reference to an old pagan ritual which celebrated the lifting of the veil between this world and the world of spirits. Though some sources claim it is actually derivative of the Latin Samus Hainus, which means ‘Emo knucklehead’. Kyle: Fascinating. And there is the Emo knucklehead now, accompanied as always by the lovely Karen Killer. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SammyBach_alt1.jpg[/IMG] with [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KarenKiller.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/ChanceFortune.jpg[/IMG] for [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_AllAction_alt1.jpg[/IMG] Sammy Bach vs Chance Fortune The two start off in a blur of dropkicks, arm drags, and hip tosses. Just as it appears that Chance is taking the lead, Sammy pokes him in the eyes, and slows the match down with a series of knee drops to Fortune’s head. Once Fortune is back up, Sammy sends him into the ropes and hits a back drop. He then whips Fortune into a corner and follows behind him with a running clothesline. Sammy goes to the top rope. Moonsault. Fortune gets his knees up in time. Fortune slowly stands as Sammy writhes around the mat. Fortune picks him up and hits a snap suplex. He goes for the pin. 1 2 Sammy kicks out. Fortune runs into the ropes, only to meet a clothesline. Sammy lifts him up for a reverse atomic drop, but instead walks him over into a corner and perches him on the top rope. He spends a few seconds trapping Fortune’s feet behind the middle turnbuckle, then he grabs the back of Fortune’s head and pulls him backward, draping him across the corner. Fortune is now in the Tree of Woe. Sammy Turns and runs to the opposing corner. He looks over at Karen, who nods her head, and he runs as Fortune full speed. At the last second Sammy dives, and does a baseball slide fully into Fortune’s face. Fortune’s legs come undone and he falls to the canvas. Sammy rolls him over and 1 2 3 The Match is over. [B]Winner: ‘Samhaine’ Sammy Bach[/B] Rating: C+ Shawn: Wow. I thought Chance Fortune almost had him when Samhaine missed the moonsault. Kyle: Lady Luck wasn’t smiling on Chance Fortune tonight. Though maybe things will be different for our next competitor. I saw him earlier backstage, and he had quite a bundle from a dice game. Jason: Ahh you must be talking about Ronnie V. Pain. I saw him backstage as well with all that money. I won it from him, though. Kyle: What? You beat Ronnie Pain in dice? Jason: Hell no. I challenged him to a game of Trivial Pursuit. Shawn: That figures. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KoshiroIno.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RonnieVPain.jpg[/IMG] Koshiro Ino vs Ronnie V. Pain This match starts off slow and somehow manages to get even slower. The match was basically an exhibition of chops, punches, and clotheslines. Koshiro won it with a nasty looking German suplex followed by the Kobra’s Bite. [B]Winner: Koshiro Ino[/B] Rating: C+ Shawn: Well, Koshiro definitely made a statement with that match. Kyle, Yep, and that statement was an advertisement for chiropractors. Jason: Next we have scheduled Rick Law vs American Buffalo. It will be interesting to see if the long arm of the law can contain the American Man Beast. And don’t forget that outside the ring, Rick will have Floyd Goldworthy to contend with. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RickLaw.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/AmericanBuffalo.jpg[/IMG] with [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/FloydGoldworthy.jpg[/IMG] Rick Law vs American Buffalo These two tore into each other as soon as the bell sounded. In the first three minutes Buffalo had two pin attempts and Rick was busted open. The tide turned when Buffalo charged after Rick into a corner and Rick got a boot up. After that Rick pounded Buffalo unmercifully until Buffalo took control with a DDT. It was short lived, however, as they then both brawled some more, leading to a running bulldog from Rick Law 1 2 Buffalo kicked out before the three. They lit into each other again leading to a spot where Law clotheslined Buffalo over the top rope. Floyd Goldworthy frantically called for his man to get up, which he eventually did; with help from Rick Law. Law then punished Buffalo some more as the ref counted. Slowly Buffalo crept backwards until they were both fighting halfway down the aisle. Buffalo finally got the upper hand by slamming Rick’s head into the metal barricade. But by then the ref had counted to ten. This didn’t stop the two, as more referees ran out the two eventually brawled all the way to the back, and went out of sight. [B]Winner: None. Match Ended in a double Count Out[/B] Rating: C Jason: Folks, I wish we had more time to discuss the carnage we just witnessed, but I understand our colleague Jasmine Saunders is standing backstage with two men whose time is very important. Take it away Jasmine. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JasmineSaunders.jpg[/IMG] interviews [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TysonBaine.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/EddiePeak.jpg[/IMG] Jasmine: Thank you Jason. I am standing next to two imposing figures here. Tyson Baine and his partner for tonight, Eddie Peak. You two are scheduled to face Brent Hill and John Anderson for the tag titles tonight. Do you think there is any way for your team to overcome the Machine’s teamwork? Tyson: Teamwork? When you are powered by infernal rage teamwork seems tiny and insignificant in comparison. That said, I would be a fool to ignore the threat posed by the Syndicate. That is why tonight begins the first step in tearing down that evil edifice. Tonight the Syndicate lapdogs, Brent Hill and John Anderson, will answer for their sins. Tonight, Machines, you will repent! Jasmine slowly edges away from Tyson, only to find that she has bumped into Eddie Peak. She turns, sees him, and yelps. Eddie takes the microphone from her. Eddie: You call them the Machines? Well, when I rip their flesh open will we see blood and bones or oil and steel? All I can say… Eddie pauses to squint at the camera. Eddie: All I can say is that I came here to hurt people. Due to a loophole in my parole agreement, if I come here and sign a piece of paper a man in a suit tells me who I get to hurt for the night and I go out and hurt them and I won’t get incarcerated. Which reminds me, there were no girls in my prison. Eddie stares at Jasmine. Jasmine quickly runs away Eddie: Whether man or machine, it doesn’t matter to me. And if I can’t hurt you. I think now maybe I’ll just make you my little bitch. Either way I’ll be happy, just so long as I get to hear you scream. Eddie Peak then laughs like a hyena strung out on methamphetamines. Fade to commercial. Rating: B- Jason: Welcome back. I am pretty much speechless here. Kyle: What can you say about Eddie Peak except that he always strives for a perfect balance. Shawn: Perfect balance of what? Kyle: The perfect balance between being a sociopath and being a psychopath. Jason: I’ll say this much, as it may play a part in tonight’s match and in the overall war with the Syndicate, there is absolutely nothing on this Earth that walks, lumbers, or crawls, that will intimidate either Tyson Baine or Eddie Peak. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TysonBaine.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/EddiePeak.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/BrentHill_alt2.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/HumanArsenal_alt2.jpg[/IMG] for [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_Tag.jpg[/IMG] Tyson Baine and Eddie Peak vs Brent Hill and John Anderson Eddie and John start the match. Eddie dominates the bout early, and pretty much no sells everything John dishes out. Brent is tagged in and the process is repeated. The camera shows Tyson growing impatient on the outside of the ring. Brent gets an advantage with a nice double team spot. He goes behind Eddie and runs him to the ropes near John, where he goes for a roll up. As Eddie’s head comes across the second rope John hits it with a leg drop. John and Brent trade in and out as they do repeated attacks on Eddie’s right arm. Eventually Eddie breaks free with a choke slam on Brent. He backs up and Tyson slaps him on the back, thereby tagging himself in. Brent and John bump like crazy for Tyson as the ref tries to get Eddie out of the ring. Eventually the Machines manage to bring Tyson down with their double team attacks. John goes for the ammo dump, but Tyson powers out of it and flattens him with a short clothesline. Brent quickly climbs the ropes and hits a double ax handle on Tyson. He goes back up top again and jumps, but is caught this time by Eddie. Tyson, who is back up now, launches himself into the ropes and comes back with a running elbow. Brent who was being held by Eddie somehow slips loose, and Tyson hits Eddie with the elbow. Eddie falls to the mat. Brent attacks Tyson again from behind but Tyson shrugs it off and throws Brent out of the ring. The Ref goes to check on Brent, thus not seeing the legal man, John gets up and kicks Tyson between the legs. Tyson doubles over, and now Eddie who is back up, grabs him and hits him with a massive powerbomb that shakes the ring. The ref turns as Eddie slides out and John makes the cover. 1 2 3 [B]Winners: Brent Hill and John Anderson[/B] Rating: C Note: Eddie Peak’s Heel turn was a complete success. Kyle: Damn that Eddie Peak! They almost had them! Shawn: Unfortunately it looks like the Syndicate will be holding on to the tag titles for a while longer. Jason: Not only that, but I have to believe that Tyson Baine will want revenge for this, which means his attention will turn from the Syndicate where it belongs, to that no good Eddie Peak! Kyle: There is no guessing who would survive the war between those two monsters. Jason: That is true. Hold on. The director is telling me that the video package is ready. For new fans, and old fans, what you about to see is basically a montage which will perhaps better explain the meaning behind what happened here earlier tonight when Ricky Dale Johnson challenged Tommy Cornell. We are going to show that now. Enjoy! Angle: Hype video for RDJ vs Tommy Cornell Rating: B+ Fade to Commercial. Jason: Well as you can clearly see, Rocky Golden is waiting in the ring. We are expecting the arrival of Sam Keith very soon. Shawn: A bona fide legend in our sport, Sam Keith made headlines when he joined TCW. Unfortunately for us, he made his allegiance to the Syndicate clear, and played a huge part in the Syndicate becoming the force it is now. Kyle: And that is why that man, Rocky Golden, is standing in the ring with a look of pure determination. He knows the importance momentum will play in this war, and he fully intends to stop the Syndicate and Sam Keith dead in its tracks here tonight! [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RockyGolden.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SamKeith_alt2.jpg[/IMG] Rocky Golden vs Sam Keith The match begins with an exchange of punches. Rocky begins to take advantage with a flurry of blows, but Sam rakes his eyes. After that Sam is mostly in control. He isolates a body part, perhaps in preparation for the Proton Lock. Rocky gets his second wind and whips Sam into the ropes. He lands a big back drop and follows it with a running neckbreaker. The match increases in tempo as the younger wrestler tries to wear down Sam with a series of power slams. With Sam off his feet, Rocky climbs a turnbuckle. However Sam makes it up and lunges at the ropes. The movement causes Rocky to lose his balance and he posts himself on the top turnbuckle. Sam quickly runs up the corner, latches on to Rocky, and hits a nice Superplex. He makes the cover 1 2 Rocky barely gets his shoulder up! Sam argues with the ref for a bit. He then signals for the Proton Lock! However as he goes to lift Rocky’s head, Rocky catches him in a small package. Sam kicks out immediately, But after he is up he rushes at Rocky who grabs him and lands a huge spine buster. Rocky grabs Sam again and shoots him into the ropes. Sam leap frogs over the back body drop attempt. Rocky runs into the other other side of the ring and bounces off the ropes. Suddenly, Rocky leaps through the air with his arm extended… flying clothesline! Sam ducks and Rocky hits the referee by mistake! He tries to get the ref up but Sam hits him from behind. Rocky turns and he and Sam brawl in the ring as suddenly the crowd erupts! Wolf Hawkins darts down the aisle, steel folding chair in hand! He wastes no time jumping on the apron and ascending to the top rope, where he launches himself down and the metal chair crashes on the back of Rocky’s head. Wolf darts back out of the ring as Sam grabs the ref. The crowd boos as he counts. 1 2 3 [B]Winner: Sam Keith[/B] Rating: C+ Jason: Ladies and gentlemen I apologize for what I am about to say. I know it is my job to remain objective, but in my humble opinion, Rocky Golden had that match won until that no good errand boy, Wolf Hawkins interfered in the match! Shawn: Indeed. Though at this point we can’t be surprised at what’s become the Syndicate’s Modus Operandi. Cheat, cheat, cheat! And then, cheat some more! Kyle: Well, all I can hope is that Ricky Dale Johnson is prepared. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt3.jpg[/IMG] for [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_World.jpg[/IMG] Ricky Dale Johnson vs Tommy Cornell The match begins as soon as Tommy enters the ring. Ricky trades punches while Tommy lands several European uppercuts. Tommy resorts to several headbutts to slow Ricky down. Tommy sends Ricky into the corner and follows with a running clothesline. Before Rocky can slump down, Tommy turns him and rams his head into the turn buckle a few times. He then lands a Russian leg sweep and climbs to the top turnbuckle. There he looks down at Ricky and spits on him before delivering a knee to Ricky’s head from the top rope. Tommy goes for the cover. 1 2 Ricky kicks out. Tommy lifts RDJ up far enough to lock in a Dragon Sleeper. But he can’t get RDJ to submit. He then body slams RDJ and stomps him. He spends a few moments with his foot on RDJ’s throat before going for another pin attempt. 1 2 Ricky kicks out yet again. For the first time, Tommy shows his frustrations. He lands a series of standing elbow drops and turns RDJ over. Then he violently rubs RDJ’s face in the mat while screaming at him. The ref, having long past counted to five, goes to move Tommy, but he gets shoved away for his effort. Tommy pulls RDJ and sends him into a corner again. He follows with a knee lift to Ricky’s gut. Tommy then hits a couple of European uppercuts and begins to slap Ricky. RDJ reaches up and grabs Tommy around the throat. The crowd buzzes as the two men begin to exchange punches. RDJ sends Tommy into the ropes and hits a running clothesline that spins Tommy in the air. He then tries to drag Tommy up again by the hair but Tommy lands a low blow out of the ref’s field of view. Tommy uses the ropes to pull himself up as RDJ struggles to his feet. The two collide in the middle of the ring with RDJ catching Tommy’s leg as he attempted a kick. RDJ spins Tommy around and tries for a short clothesline but Tommy ducks and pops up behind RDJ. He quickly hits a reverse DDT and goes for the cover. 1 2 Ricky kicks out! Livid, Tommy jumps out and begins the Syndicate Stomp, wherein he goes around the prone body of RDJ and kicks and stomps everywhere he can. When Tommy next pulls Ricky to his feet its clear that RDJ’s forehead has been busted open. Tommy throws RDJ over the second rope and out to the floor. There he jumps down and lands a forearm on RDJ’s back. The Two proceed to brawl around the ring until Tommy gets the advantage yet again, and goes to ram RDJ’s head into the ring post. The Ref grabs Tommy and tries to warn him. Tommy shoves the ref so hard that the Referee fall over backwards. In the Confusion, as Tommy turns back to RDJ, Ricky grabs him and rams Tommy’s head into the ring post! The crowd pops and the ref, still struggling to stand, doesn’t see it RDJ rolls a near motionless Tommy Cornell back into the ring and goes for the cover. It takes the ref a few second to get in position for the count... 1 2 Tommy gets his shoulder up at the last moment. RDJ then pulls Tommy up and sends him into the ropes. Ricky lands a spinning back punch which floors the champ. He sets him up for a pump handle slam when suddenly Sam Keith jumps on the apron. The ref goes to deal with Sam while RDJ watches him warily. Ricky is about to hoist Tommy up when, out of the crowd on the side of the ring opposite of Sam and the Ref, Wolf Hawkins Appears. He too jumps on the apron. RDJ approaches him and takes a swing. Wolf ducks and throws some kind of powder at Ricky. Ricky ducks this, but the powder lands squarely in the face of Tommy Cornell, who had been sneaking up behind Ricky. Wolf Freaks out and Tommy immediately covers his eyes. RDJ grabs both of them and hits a double Noggin knocker! Wolf falls off the apron and Tommy slumps downward, only to be pulled all the way to the mat by a roll up from RDJ. Suddenly the ref is there to count! 1 2 3 Sam Keith tries to tackle Ricky but RDJ dodges out of the way and jumps from the ring. The Ref walks over and hands him the World Title. And the announcer makes it official. [B]Winner and new World Champion: Ricky Dale Johnson[/B] Rating: A Overall rating for the show: B (TCW experiences an overall rise in its popularity!)

[/QUOTE] it really doesn't feel worth it when you do all the writeup and you hardly get any replies. That's why I don't do mine in that format. There's little-to-no payoff. Honestly, I really don't even bother with the matches so much. My "editor's notes" bit give you an idea of how the match went, and a little ooc on my thoughts on why I booked it and such. And then I spend the rest of the time developing the actual story behind the diary. Looks like you had a pretty solid show really.

(Thanks for all the kind words so far) [B]Nemesis goes shopping... for talent![/B] I was in the office on my eighth cup of coffee when the ratings came in. TCW Presents Total wrestling gets a 3.21. SWF Supreme TV garnered a 3.10 Suck on that, Eisen. The Problem that faced me now was how to keep it going while building to the pay per view Malice In Wonderland. Not only that but TCW desperately needed an infusion of youth and talent. All our Main Event faces (now that Eddie turned) have seen better days or are physically unable working a thirty minute long match. Then there is what Tommy told me, that he hopes to expand to a second t.v. show. I suppose that is why today and the next few days I’ll be talking with several wrestlers about a job here at TCW. You know the idea, meet with them, see how they act personally, steal any good ideas they may have. The same old wrestling story. First thing I really need to do to acquaint myself with the corporate environment is to get my very own secretary. I keep asking Tommy if we can hire that Dharma Gregg girl from Vegas, the one with legs up to her ears and all the snazzy pictures on the internet. But Tommy says no. Alas I have to handle things myself. The first wrestler I talk to is one I am very familiar with. Even in person behind closed doors, he lives his gimmick. So when he sits down at my desk I slide open a drawer, pull out some blank paper and a box of crayons, and I let him get to work. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Acid.jpg[/IMG] A few minutes later I have in my hands a Rube Goldbergesque rendering of where Acid sees himself in TCW. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Acidsartwork.jpg[/IMG] “Well I guess we never have to worry about giving you a Pretentious Artist Gimmick.” Acid gives me a thumbs up. “So, if I understand this correctly, you want a world title run with you defeating everyone in TCW along the way as well as you want us to sign Dharma Gregg to be your valet/manager? Do I have it right?” Acid nods in the affirmative. “How about this instead?” I write down a figure and show it to him. He gives a big thumbs up. “Well Acid, my old friend, welcome to TCW. Any creative ideas you have that you want to share? Uh, I mean, any ideas that don’t involve you killing our entire roster?” Acid spends a long time drawing something out. After nearly a half hour he finally balls the paper up and tosses it in the trash. “Screw it, I’ll just tell you.” I am shocked at his outburst. I haven’t heard Acid speak in nearly in two years. I think whatever this idea is, it must be something incredible. And then he ruins it by telling me. “I think what you should do is bring in several other masked Wrestlers and form a stable around me, their mythic leader. We can call it, ‘The Cult of the Green Dragon’! “Basically we will run around and win all our matches with the use of smokebombs and blowguns. Eventually we will kidnap Karen Killer away from Sammy Bach and make her our sex slave and then-“ “That’s okay Acid, I think I get the picture. I don’t know what sort of organization you think TCW is, but we are grounded more in realism and ultra competitive matches built around the idea that Pro Wrestling is a legitimate athletic endeavor and that the titles mean something. So try to think of some ideas with that framework in mind, alright? And welcome to the company. Mind sending in the next person?” The next person in was Hardcore legend Madman Boone. We shook hands and got right down to business. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/MadmanBoone.jpg[/IMG] “So, Madman, what are you looking for in TCW?” Madman then proceeds to talk to me as if he were cutting a promo. “Well I’ll tell ya brother, past couple of years have been rough on the Madman. I am talking about four concussions, a fractured collar bone, two broken ribs, and at least three judgements for child support, brother!” “Wow. That’s tough to hear. Though I was wondering what” He cut me off. “Nemesis, everyone knows what you mean to wrestling, and especially Hardcore. Brother when Madman heard that you got the book in TCW, I rejoiced. And not just because I thought that meant you’d re-start the hardcore division here and maybe hire me so that the Madman could get his lights turned back on, but it also meant a chance for the Madman to give back to the fans, brother.” “What do you mean, give back?” “Well brother this is mainly a merchandise thing, but say after every match we scrape off all the sweat and blood from the Madman and bottle it in a cologne called Eau de Boone.” I just sit there, speechless. “Yeah brother, Eau de Boone.” He throws his arms out wide and takes a deep sniff of the imaginary odor. “Underneath it will say, ‘Smell like a Madman’. Haha, that’s classic. Oh and I’d like for Dharma Gregg to be my valet. So, what do you think?” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/StevenParker.jpg[/IMG] The next person in was Steven Parker. Fortunately for me this kid wasn’t aware of the fact that he could pretty much write his own check. At the last creative meeting it was made clear by several talent scouts and Tommy himself that TCW wanted to sign this kid. It wasn’t a command per se, but I knew it would look bad on me if I allowed Parker to slip away and possibly sign for the SWF. It’s a good thing the entire signing was painless. Parker seemed really enthusiastic about this, he knew this could be his big break. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JackGriffith.jpg[/IMG] After that, the next person in was a steady hand that had a spot, if not on the main roster, then as a trainer. Though I was still waiting to hear from Rip Chord about that whole deal. Regardless, Jack Griffith signed. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KirkJameson.jpg[/IMG] The last prospect for the day was Kirk Jameson. He turned out to be a lot like Steven Parker. And like Parker, his name was tossed around a good bit in creative meetings. So, that was it for today. But just as I was about to close up, there was a knock on my door. I went to open it and suddenly I felt engulfed by an overwhelming sense of dread. It was like a wave of pure demonic evil had swept over me. I stumbled and nearly fell as my adrenaline kicked into overdrive. I was no longer the mighty ass kicking Nemesis of legend… right then I was John Campbell. Forty Nine year old washed up wrestler and failed business man. And I knew that on the other side of that door was my impending doom. I’ll tell you, boys and girls, It was maybe the most difficult thing in my life, aside from quitting drugs cold turkey, that I was somehow able to continue step forward despite the barrage of sheer horror emanating from that door. Eventually I reached the handle; and though it burned the flesh from my hand leaving only blackened bone in its place, I would not retreat! I opened the door then and- “Hi, I hear TCW is hiring.” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JimForce.jpg[/IMG] I admit it, my bowels released and I screamed like a little baby. I ran from my office and out of the building.

This is great! That whole hiring situation was awesome. I laughed so hard at the Acid write up.

Antithesis · June 9, 2008

[B]Final Day of the Nemesis Shopping Spree![/B] The next day started out on a high note. Word was Rip Chord had approved the deal and Mid Atlantic Wrestling was now a developmental territory for TCW. Even better, Jim Force was no where to be found in the building. I had just settled down in my office when there was a knock at the door. “Come in.” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JennyPlaymate.jpg[/IMG] I picked my jaw up off the floor after she walked in. Steph Williams was a gorgeous young lady working up in Canada under the name Jenny Playmate. Word was that she could cut a promo, had charisma, and could act. Not to mention she would look good in a bikini. She said hello but I don’t quite remember my reply, I believe it was, “duh duh duh duh durrr.” She giggled and said she was use to that. After a while I became self conscious about the fact that I was staring at her, so I just wrote a figure down on a piece of paper and handed it to her. “Wow that’s three times as much as I was going to ask for. Thank you Mister Nemesis. I gotta go give my notice now. From here on out, Jenny Playmate works for TCW!” She smiled and bounced out of the room. Tommy would probably kill me if he knew how much we were going to pay her, but hell, I felt sorry for the girl. I mean, as soon as she sat down in the chair across from me it was apparent that she was too poor to afford underwear. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/WarrenTechnique.jpg[/IMG] Next in was a young kid named Warren Technique. Kind of on the ****y side, especially considering how green he was, but I signed him anyway. With MAW open to us, maybe Rip could get him into shape. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/DavisWayneNewton.jpg[/IMG] The next kid was the opposite of Warren. Extremely humble despite his vast potential. Out of all the signings so far, this one I knew could be something huge. Thing was he needed to be toughened up before possibly considering a full time schedule with a National promotion. Still, I wasn’t about to leave him out there for Eisen to find. We signed Davis Wayne Newton to a deal and will be shipping him off to MAW for more training. The day concluded with the additional signings of JD Morgan, Steve Flash, and Rhino Umaga. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JDMorgan.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SteveFlash.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RhinoUmaga.jpg[/IMG] Most of the day I had been waiting on one person in particular, but then I heard that Eric Tyler signed with the SWF. It was a shame, really. I had big plans for him. I doubt Eisen will push him as much as I would. But that’s ok. I grabbed my booking sheet and changed a few things around. I had planned on seeing if I could bring in Alicia Strong and have her befriend Eric, only for that friendship to blossom into a romantic interest. Then I’d have mysterious footage surface showing Eric kissing another girl, setting off a chain of events culminating with Eric turning heel because, in his words, “Muffin won’t put out.” That will lead to Eric dominating the company and having the same match over and over again with different competitors whilst involving himself in the same old storyline of a power struggle between Authority Figures. It was either that or have Eric hit his head and start calling himself The Wrath of God. Nah, probably not. I finished booking the next show. Giant Tana vs Texas Pete The New Wave vs The Tag Team Specialists Wolf Hakins vs Acid Genghis Rahn vs Eddie Peak RDJ and Rocky Golden vs Sam Keith and Tommy Cornell Just as I finished that, there was a knock at the door. All my planned meetings were finished, so I had no idea who it could be. Unbeknownst to everyone else, I was wearing garlic, and that’s a proven Jim Force deterrent. So without trepidation I opened the door… “BOO!” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt4.jpg[/IMG] I jumped out of my office window.

Oh well, at least the nachos in this arena are good. [B]Winners: Charlie Thatcher Jack Griffith and Edd Stone[/B] Rating: D+ Time for the tv show to begin!

The show starts with Jason Azaria standing alone in the ring. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JasonAzaria.jpg[/IMG] After the crowd dies down he says he has an announcement to make but the Syndicate’s music cuts him off. Tommy, Sam, and Wolf all walk down to the ring sharing the same smug expression. Tommy gets a mic and says it must be the night for huge announcements. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SamKeith_alt2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/WolfHawkins_alt1.jpg[/IMG] But, he says, since he owns the company he’s going to say what he has to say first and then Jason can say his peace. “First,” Tommy starts, “before we get to our two big surprises, I want to say to Brent and John, both of whom couldn’t be here tonight because they had to attend a wedding for the Princess of Spain, that we are on our way fellas. We will be on the jet after this interview. Next thing I have to do is berate my protégé. Wolf, get over here!” He drapes his arm around the kid. “Now Wolf, I know you are a huge Ricky Dale Johnson fan. And last week, when you saw me kicking his can all over this building you couldn’t stand it anymore and you interfered and threw powder into my eyes. I know this because it was in the deposition you gave my attorneys that they sent to the executive board at TCW.” The crowd booed as Wolf just stood there with a feigned look of sadness and regret. “Because of your youthful.. ahh, exuberance, you cost me something very dear to me. So, Sam and I got together and discussed the problem and we realized that maybe you are too inexperienced to handle the responsibility of ringside operations for the Syndicate. So, we thought about it, and asked who out there in the wrestling world is qualified to handle such a task? And the answer was clear. Here is our first announcement for the evening. Ladies and reprobates, please welcome MISTER NEMESIS!” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Nemisis.jpg[/IMG] The crowd seemed to be divided between boos and cheers. Part of me wanted to walk faster, knowing that the sooner this segment was over with the more time others could have for their matches. But hell, it had been a while, so yeah, I soaked it up. Once in the ring Tommy nodded and gave me the mic. “Welcome to my neighborhood. Well, not really my neighborhood. If this were really my neighborhood, that fat chick over there," I pointed out in the audience at no one in particular, “would be toting around five extra kids. And that loser over there would be sitting at home waiting on his welfare check. But enough about my happy childhood. You people know who I am, you know where I’ve been, and now you know why I am here. To be with the best! So let me step aside and let the best do what he does best, and then we can get on with the rest.” Tommy takes the microphone back. At this point Jason Azaria was nearly beside himself. “Good stuff. Now, our next announcement. As I mentioned earlier, my attorneys have challenged the result of last week’s World Title match. I believe they even submitted a writ of flabbius corpus, which is named after Jason Azaria’s mother. Anyway, I just received word that Ricky Dale Johnson’s reign was ended earlier today when the TCW rules committee stripped him of the title due to Wolf Hawkin’s interference! And I just wanted to be the one to tell you losers! Haha!. So now I am going to walk to the back, pick up my fifteen pounds of gold, and me and the boys here are gonna catch a jet to Spain. So, Seee yaaa!” Tommy drops the mic and literally struts to the ropes. He’s half way outside of the ring when Jason Azaria speaks. “Tommy Cornell, before you leave, here is a little fact you didn’t know!” The crowd popped, hell I popped for him working his catch phrase into this cluster. “I’ll have you know that in my hand is the official ruling from the Rules Committee relating to your match with RDJ last week, and I’d suggest you hire some new lawyers!” The Syndicate rushes back into the ring. I pick up the fallen mic and hand it to Tommy as Jason speaks. “Yes it is true that RDJ has been stripped of the championship, however the title is not going back to you. It is being held up, and the new champion will be decided at Malice in Wonderland!” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_World.jpg[/IMG] The crowd cheers and Tommy gets in Jason’s face. Jason doesn’t stop. “And there is more. You will wrestle RDJ at Malice In Wonderland. The winner will be crowned TCW World Heavyweight champion. Furthermore the committee noted that Wolf Hawkins interfered in more than one match, so he is to be reprimanded with a mandatory defense of his International title here tonight, against Acid!” The crowd cheered, and now Tommy and Wolf are in Jason’s face. “But wait, there is more! Since Sam Keith was the beneficiary of Wolf’s interference, as was Ricky Dale Johnson, and Rocky Golden and Tommy Cornell are the aggrieved parties, tonight there will be a tag team match pitting Syndicate members Tommy Cornell and Sam Keith against Ricky Dale Johnson and Rocky Golden!” The crowd was having a collective religious experience, and now Sam was in Jason’s face as well. “But wait, there is more! Because of all the interference in matches last week involving Syndicate members, Tommy Cornell, Sam Keith, Wolf Hawkins, Brent Hill, and John Anderson are all barred from coming within fifty feet of the ring during any match they are not directly involved in! It is signed by all the members of the Rules Committee for TCW and at the bottom it says ‘p.s. thank you for bringing these rule infractions to our attention. We encourage you to continue to do this so that we may give closer examination into all Syndicate matches!” Tommy was livid. He grabbed Jason by his tie and looked to be about ready to punch him. That’s when I offered the ray of hope… “Wait just a minute there. According to the committee all the members of the Syndicate are barred from ringside, except the newest member.. me. Since I have my manager’s license and I am not specifically mentioned, I can go to ringside for all the matches. Ain’t that right, Mr. Know it all?” Jason stammers out a reply “I d- don’t know. I’m n-not.” “Of course you don’t. So let me make it clear. I’ll be ringside for all the Syndicate matches tonight. And after its all said and done, Joey Minnesota, Rocky Golden, and Ricky Dale Johnson will all be left laying in pools of their own blood. And they can all blame the Rules Committee for that.” Tommy lets go of Jason, who wisely hops out of the ring. The camera fades to commercial with a very serious looking Syndicate talking things over. Rating: B- We followed that with a match.

She giggles at the flirting, then Karen Killer walks up to them and starts in. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KarenKiller.jpg[/IMG] “I heard someone laughing so I came over to see what was going on. But I see now the only joke here is that fat piece of garbage.” Karen points at Danny. Danny just shrugs it off but Karen continues. “I am serious, you cretin. You walk around here like god’s gift to women when real men, like Samhaine Sammy Bach, can’t even get interview time. Women want men like Sammy, men who are handsome, tough, and who write poetry like this…” Karen pulls out a piece of paper and begins to read. “ Roses are red Violets are blue Life stinks, And so do you!” Danny grabs the microphone and steps closer to Karen. “Woah there, gorgeous. This is Doctor Love’s time, and you can’t just walk in here and think you can take over. Fortunately for you Doctor Love ain’t a hater, naw, I’m a lover. And its obvious to the Doctor that if you think Captain Emo, Sammy Bach is more of a man than I am, then you have to be running some kind of fever. How bout we go back in the back and you let me take your temperature. If you like the job I do, I may even prescribe twelve, long, hard units of Penis-cillin!” [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SammyBach_alt1.jpg[/IMG] Karen goes to slap Danny, but he grabs her arm and lays a big kiss on her. She seems disgusted, but not nearly as much as Sammy Bach, who jumps Danny from behind with a chair. After a few shots manage to lay Danny out, Sammy stands over him with a mic and screams. “Put your hands on my property again and I’ll kill you, you fat piece of (we had to bleep that part out.)

These two went out and had a pretty good match. Of course, this was kind of a throw away, and not the best start for Acid, but he'll rebound. [B]Winner: Wolf Hawkins[/B] Rating: B- After the match once the ring is clear I grab a mic and begin the next angle. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Nemisis.jpg[/IMG] “I have the blessing of the Syndicate to do this. They had been considering it for a while, but last week really sealed the deal. I am here to offer a membership in the most powerful and exclusive club in all of professional wrestling. So, Eddie peak, get down here, your future starts today!” While Eddie walked down to the ring, I made sure the razor blade was situated in my hand the way I wanted. The next few minutes were about to get interesting. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/EddiePeak.jpg[/IMG] Eddie has his own Mic. “I’m here. What do you want old man?” I allow a little uncertainty to creep into my voice. “Eddie, that’s no way to act towards a friend you haven’t seen in a while. But as to your question, I want you to join the Syndicate. Together we will we will destroy TCW!” “Ya mean just like you helped destroy the last company we were in?” I just stare at him. Finally I reply. “So what is it Eddie? You mad at me about that? Think I left poor little Eddie out to hang?” He walks up to me. We are now nose to nose. “No, old man, I think you are a failure and everything that comes into contact with you fails. I think I am happy here, for the first time I am my own man, and I don’t owe anything to you, these stupid fans, or any other pathetic leeches out there!” “Ok Eddie I hear you. But What about Tyson Baine? He’s gonna be coming for you, and like you said, for the first time in your life, you will be all alone. The Syndicate could help you with him.” “Tyson Baine doesn’t scare me. And if the Syndicate gets in my way I’ll crush them too. Like I said, I am my own man.” I back away from him and start pacing in the ring. “Have you lost your meds? You were barely a half ass tag team wrestler when I found you. I built you up into a monster. I made you, I created you. And God as my witness, I will destroy you!” Eddie laughed. “Maybe, maybe not. All that matters is that I call my own shots now!” And with that he floors me with a headbutt. I blade while he puts the boots to me. By the time he hoists me up for the third powerbomb, my face is covered in blood. Sam and Wolf hit the ring and exchange punches with him. Eddie stands his ground. We go to commercial with a mad as hell Sam Keith signaling for the Proton Lock and pointing up at a deranged looking Eddie Peak.

Even if it was part of someone else’s angle. Rahn was definitely my favorite person of the day. After about thirteen minutes the lights go out. Once they are back on the crowd cheers.

I know it, you know it, and all the fans across the world know it. So whether it will be here tonight, or at Malice In Wonderland for the title, or in a bar, or in the parking lot, or an airport, the grocery store, or the hole you slithered out of, I’ll be more than happy to fight you and beat you silly.” Rocky speaks. “Well since my partner has Cornell in check, let me say something to you, Sam Keith. You had to cheat last week to win. I am not making excuses, I am just explaining why, when we step in that ring, I am gonna beat the dog out of you. Yeah, Sam Keith, I am gonna hit you so hard it’ll knock the bleach out of your hair. Yeah we know all about your expensive suits, fancy cars, pretty rings.

Ah well, not everything can be perfect. The Match went nearly 25 minutes and Sam returned the favor to Rocky by letting him pin him clean in the ring. [B]Winners: RDJ and Rocky Golden[/B] Rating: C+ Overall Rating: B- Notes:After the show I got a call from Davis Wayne Newton. he had heard that I planned on sending him to MAW and he argued against it. I let the kid convince that he didn't need it. He'd start as an enhancement talent with TCW Next week instead.

We were shipwrecked. Just Dharma Gregg and I. Nothing had survived from the cruise ship save our wrestling gear and, for some odd reason, the DAVE Brass Knuckles title; which I had almost managed to convince Dharma in putting up in an Intergender match. We were out on the beach, she and I, gazing up at the stars when a loud rumble from the interior of the island caused her to jump. "Go check it out John," she told me. Only it was Emma Chase now speaking, not Dharma. I nodded and grabbed a torch before making my way into the jungle. I remember stumbling along in the darkness, hearing voices and sounds of.. jeering and boos? Suddenly a half eaten bag of popcorn came flying out of the dim perimeter and struck me in the face. I turned and gazed hard into space but there was nothing, save that when the wind stirred, it seemed to whisper, "failure." I stumbled my way out of the jungle and wandered into a clearing. There, before my very eyes, natives that looked just like the TCW roster were fighting each other in a square pit. Most were adorned in leaves and palm fronds, except Wolf Hawkins, who had the International title permanently welded to his abdomen. It seemed important... Suddenly Tommy Cornell patted me on the back. He had a grass skirt and wrstling boots on. "Welcome to the TCW tribe! It is good to see you have returned." "I wasn't gone.. was I?" He shrugged. "You left for a while. Many TCW tribes have sprung up while you were gone. Some survived, some didn't. A few managed to leave the island." I was lost. "TCW? Island.. what?" Tommy nodded and pointed out into the darkness beyond the clearing. "Listen." And so I did. It took a few moments, but I heard the beating of drums, and savage cries of anger. I looked at Tommy. "Yes," he told me, "the SWF tribe comes. They are cannibals!" "Cannibals?" Before Tommy could answer, a woman screamed... Laura Huggins? A huge commotion broke out in the clearing and I saw all sorts of familiar faces running in from the jungle. There was Big Smack Scott, with a needle through his nose. Runaway Train was covered in blood, and was no selling Texas Pete's punches. From off to my left I heard someone yell, "Ooga Booga!" and turned to see Richard Eisen, naked above the waist except for a necklace of shrunken skulls, rip the heart out of Sam Keith. "Okay, time for me to go," I muttered, before turning around and promptly tripping over something. I looked down and screamed, as the vacant, lifeless eyes of Dharma Gregg stared back at me. Must the bastards destroy everything? A shadow appeared, and I knew, knew beyond all doubt, that it was Eisen standing above me, waiting with spear in hand to kill me. I wish I could tell you I did something brave then, but I awoke to the phone ringing. With blurry eyes I grabbed the handset and tried to look at the clock. The voice on the other end was talking. "Say what," I asked "I said they both signed and should be ready to start by the next TV show," said Tommy Cornell. It took me a minute to figure out just what he was talking about. I smiled then. "Good, good. Now we need to get that title off of Wolf and-" "I told you, It's too soon yet. Get back to sleep. Tomorrow I'll want your input on that other thing we talked about." "That other.. oh yeah. Okay. One last thing, can we hire Dharma Gregg?" "No. I'll talk to you later." Click. I tried to recall the dream from earlier, but it was gone. I did, however, make a note. The next time I ordered a pizza, it wouldn't be with mushrooms!

The word for today is WTF, as in WTF, this turned out to be a good show. We start with Jenny Playmate shooting T Shirts out into the crowd.

[COLOR="red"]Winner:Painful Procedure[/COLOR] [b]RATING: D-[/b] And let the games begin. Live, in front of 9,458 fans in the Charleston Civic Center, Its Total Championship Wrestling Presents!

The show opens with a shot of fireworks going off above the crowd. After a few moments, the Music for The New Wave hits, and they appear at the ramp, along with Koshiro Ino and a petite blonde. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Guide.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Scout.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KoshiroIno.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KatieCameron.jpg[/IMG] They make their way down to the ring and the blonde takes the microphone. [COLOR="blue"]“Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Katie Cameron, and I’ve been hired by TCW to serve as an interpreter for Mr. Ino. Mr. Ino has instructed me to convey his happiness with being involved with TCW and his excitement at being included in tonights main event. Beyond that, he says he will do the rest of his talking in the ring!” She hands the microphone to Guide, who takes a moment before speaking. “Tonight, The New Wave and Koshiro Ino have the opportunity to make their mark. Tonight, the Machines and Tommy Cornell face us in a six man-“ [/COLOR] Tommy Cornell’s music hits. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt3.jpg[/IMG] As everyone in the ring becomes silent, Jason Azaria lets the audience at home know what he thinks about Tommy’s appearance here, tonight. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JasonAzaria.jpg[/IMG] “My apologies, fans. No doubt you are all as sick of seeing this jerk as we are. Unfortunately things like this are going to happen from time to time. All we can hope is that this gets resolved quickly without any violence.” By this point Tommy is standing on the ring apron, looking in at his opponents for tonight. He begins to speak. [COLOR="Lime"]“Ya know, it’s a damn shame the lengths to which some people in this company will go to try to keep me from what’s mine. Here we are, not even two weeks away from possibly the biggest match of my life, and TCW schedules the Machines and Myself against you wannabes.” Tommy steps into the ring. “Now, far be it from me to point and yell ‘conspiracy’, but I find it very odd that tonight I wrestle you losers while Ricky Dale Johnson gets to sit at home and rest up. It would seem to me that what we have is a double standard. One that, quite frankly, I refuse to partake in any further. So, if you lads don’t mind, how about stepping out of here before you get hurt. You can leave the blonde though, I am sure the rest of the Syndicate can find a use for her.” [/COLOR] Katie spoke as the crowd behind her began to stir. [COLOR="blue"]“Mr. Ino instructs me to ask you to reconsider, as there is an old friend of his visiting today he’d very much like to impress by pinning your shoulders to the mat in the main event. As for me, I think you are an egotistical jerk and I cannot wait for someone to put you in your place.” [/COLOR] [COLOR="lime"]Tommy replied, “now, now, teacup. There’s no need to wait for that. We can get it started right now.” [/COLOR] The Camera pans back to reveal Brent Hill and John Anderson jumping the barricade and leaping into the ring. A Brawl breaks out. I hop over the barricade myself and grab a chair. The New Wave and Ino have the upper hand and Katie jumps out of the ring. I knock her down trying to hand the chair to Brent Hill. The crowd boos. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/BrentHill_alt2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/HumanArsenal_alt2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Nemisis.jpg[/IMG] The crowd boos even louder when Brent lays out Guide then Scout with chairshots. Ino battles valiantly but his leg gets clipped from behind by Tommy. They have said leg stretched out and are working it over with the chair. Ino is yelling in pain and Katie’s screaming for us to stop when the crowd erupts. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/EisakuHoshino.jpg[/IMG] Eisaku Hoshino and I meet near the steps. He almost breaks me in half with a clothesline, and doesn’t slow down, rolling into the ring, and running and spearing Brent Hill all in one smooth motion. John Anderson goes to kick him but Eisaku lands a spinning leg sweep and begins to rain down punches on him, until Tommy grabs him. The two trade shots for a while before Tommy staggers and falls out of the ring. Refs and backstage staff are holding Eisaku back and attending to the victims as we fade to commercial. [b] RATING: C[/b] We return to the arena with Sammy Bach’s music playing. He pauses at the top of the ramp to let Karen Killer slide and slither all over him. While they make their way down The announcers apologize for what happened earlier, and Jason Azaria adds that the intial report is that Koshiro Ino has suffered a leg injury, the full details are unknown. Also the New Wave will not be able to compete tonight. Jason mumbles something about ‘that damn Syndicate” before turning his attention to Danny Fonzarelli. The announcers discuss what happened last week, with the attack on Danny. Kyle says he think Karen set it all up. The bell rings and we have our first match of the night. [b] MATCH:’Samhain’ Sammy Bach /w Karen Killer vs Danny Fonzarelli for the TCW All Action Title[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SammyBach_alt1.jpg[/IMG] /w [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KarenKiller.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/DannyFonzarelli.jpg[/IMG] for [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_AllAction.jpg[/IMG] Danny wastes no time in going after Sammy. After a quick exchange of punches, Danny sends Samhain into the ropes, on the rebound he scoops him up and lands a huge side walk slam. The tempo of the match pretty much continues along that path. Danny spares no time for comedy, and Sammy is mostly on the defensive, selling. The End comes when Sammy distracts the ref and Karen grabs Danny’s leg. She jumps on the apron and goes to slap him but he blocks it, then she viciously claws him in the eyes. Danny turns, blinded, and walks straight into a boot to the gut followed by a piledriver. [COLOR="Red"]WINNER: 'Samhain' Sammy Bach[/COLOR] [b]RATING: C[/b] Next, we go backstage where Jasmine Sauders has a mic and Laura Huggins is preening before the camera. [b] ANGLE: Jasmine Saunders interviews Laura Huggins and Steven Parker[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JasmineSaunders.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/LauraCatherineHuggins.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/StevenParker.jpg[/IMG] “Hello, you all know me, the hottest, smartest, best female manager in the business today. And as proof of that I’d like to introduce my newest acquisition, the next TCW Television champion, Steven ‘The Future’ Parker. The camera pans over to a bored looking Steven, whose going through the motions shadow boxing. “Uhh Steven?” Laura walks over to him. “Steve say something to the people.” Steven finally notices the camera. He stops boxing and suddenly swats Laura on the butt. She yelps and jumps out of view. “What do you want me to say toots? That I am the best young prospect in wrestling? That in short order I’ll be running this place? I don’t have to say all that, because once they see me in the ring, they’ll know that there’s nothing left to say. This interview is over.” [b]RATING: D[/b] We fade to commercial We return to the ring announcer making the introductions. It’s time for the Four Man elimination match to determine the very first TCW Television Champion. [b]MATCH:Steven Parker /w Laura Huggins vs Aaron Andrews vs Steve Flash vs Ronnie V Pain for the TCW Televsion Title[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/StevenParker.jpg[/IMG] /w [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/LauraCatherineHuggins.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/AaronAndrews.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/SteveFlash.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RonnieVPain.jpg[/IMG] for [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_TV.jpg[/IMG] This turned out to be a pretty entertaining match. Aaron squared off with Ronnie and the two Steves battled it out. Ronnie was eliminated first, then Steve Flash. This left Aaron Andrews against Steven Parker. Aaron had the advantage until steven ducked a running body press in the corner. The ref didn’t see him put his feet on the ropes as he pinned Aaron for the 3 count. [COLOR="red"]Winner: Steven 'The Future' Parker[/COLOR] [b]RATING:C[/b] Parker’s celebration is cut short as Rick Law’s music hits. Steven scurries out of the ring as Rick comes down for the next Match. After he’s in, Tyson Baine’s music starts as the lights dim. Eventually you can hear the sounds of some kind of commotion and as the lights come up we see American Buffalo has jumped Rick law in the ring while Eddie Peak is attacking Tyson Baine on the rampway. The ref tries to restore order but eventually gives up and signals for the start of the match. The two men in the ring will be considered the legal men. [b]MATCH:Rick Law and Tyson Baine vs Eddie Peak and American Buffalo /w Floyd Goldworthy[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/RickLaw.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TysonBaine.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/AmericanBuffalo.jpg[/IMG] /w [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/FloydGoldworthy.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/EddiePeak.jpg[/IMG] Camera view switches between Buffalo dominating Law and Peak running away from a very angry Tyson Baine. The two battle back and forth in the crowd as we switch back to see Goldworthy distract the ref while Buffalo removes the padding on the corner of the ring post. We see Rick Law charge Buffalo, who moves and trips Rick, sending face first into the steel bracket. Buffalo covers a now bloody Rick law. He only gets a two count. Rick Law starts making his comeback, however, as Tyson chases Eddie back into the ring. Rick hits the long arm of the Law but then Eddie drops him with a clothesline to the back of the neck before jumping back out of the ring. Tyson continues his pursuit as Buffalo slides over and gets the 3. [COLOR="red"]Winners: American Buffalo and Eddie Peak[/COLOR] [b]RATING:B-[/b] When we come back from commercial we see Tommy Cornell backstage. He addresses the audience. [b]ANGLE: Tommy Cornell Promo[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt3.jpg[/IMG] “Well, it appears the Board of Directors has added yet another body to the pile. Maybe they anticipated my actions, and felt themselves to be quite the jokers by bringing Eisaku Hoshino to TCW. Perhaps they felt I would be intimidated by the presence of a Japanese wrestling God.” Tommy laughed. “The truth is back when you cretins cheered me, I proved myself more than able to demonstrate the inferiority of Japanese wrestlers. Just like Koshiro Ino earlier, I eat Japanese wrestlers for breakfast, and honestly, Eisaku Hoshino is not even the marshmallow in my Lucky Charms. After tonight, Hoshino, the Japanese Wrestling Gods will all pray to the Syndicate!” [b]RATING:A[/b] We then return to a stunned looking announce booth. “Ladies and gentlemen I must admit I am stunned. If Tommy Cornell is overlooking Eisaku Hoshino, the only reason could be his date with destiny at Malice in Wonderland. Here is a quick video rundown of the war currently raging between Tommy Cornell and his number one rival, Ricky Dale Johnson!” [b]ANGLE: Hype Video for Malice in Wonderland Main Event[/b] [b]RATING:B+[/b] The video ends and we got to commercial. We return to see Wolf Hawkins, TCW international title planted firmly on his waist, walking down to the ring. Inside the ring Joey Minnesota waits with a determined look on his face. [b]MATCH:Wolf Hawkins /w Nemesis vs Joey Minnesota for the TCW International Title[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/WolfHawkins_alt1.jpg[/IMG] /w [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Nemisis.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/JoeyMinnesota.jpg[/IMG] for [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TCW_International.jpg[/IMG] This started off as a wrestling match. After about five minutes both men began trading harder impact moves. Wolf tried to cheat by grabbing the tights on a pin attempt, which angered Joey, the match then became a brawl. As time ticked down Wolf looked to be in trouble, but never so serious that I’d have to interfere. [COLOR="red"]Winner: Time Limit Draw[/COLOR] [b]RATING:B-[/b] And here we go with the main event. Eisaku rips into Tommy before the bell sounds. [b]MATCH:Tommy Cornell /w Nemesis vs Eisaku Hoshino /w Katie Cameron.[/b] [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/TommyCornell_alt3.jpg[/IMG] /w [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/Nemisis.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/EisakuHoshino.jpg[/IMG] /w [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/Odius30/KatieCameron.jpg[/IMG] Katie does an alright job of cheering on her man in what is supposed to sound like Japanese. At one point I grab Hoshino’s leg to slow him down, but he just jumps over the ropes and lands on top of me. Then he throws a few punches and runs back into the ring. The guy literally does not slow down, ever. But that’s ok, neither does Tommy. Fifteen minutes in they are still zipping around the ring when Eisaku grounds Tommy to apply a wicked looking leg hold. Tommy reaches the ropes with a little help from me. Eisaku goes right back on the offense again. After a few more minutes I slowly make my way around the ring until I am behind Katie, I grab her and make scary faces until Eisaku reaches from the ring and grabs me. That’s when Tommy nails him from behind and takes the opportunity to unveil his new move, the Crucifix Suplex. ((OOC Imagine a Razor’s Edge where, instead of dropping the guy on his shoulders and back, he tilts and then turns in mid air and lands on his stomach and face.) The move wows the crowd and Tommy gets the pin. [COLOR="red"]Winner: Tommy Cornell[/COLOR] [b]RATING:B+[/b] [B][COLOR="DarkGreen"]OVERALL RATING:B[/COLOR][/B] The camera fades with a shot of a smiling Tommy Cornell wiping imaginary dust from his hands. After the show I learned that Jason Azaria had started rumors about Hyle Rhodes, nearly leading to an Announcer fight! I read him the riot act. TCW will be picking up some additional talent in the next few days. Many of them will go straight to MAW for training. I have talked with Tommy and we are extending the time of all TCW PPV's by 30 minutes. So most of the PPV's will run 3 hours now, While our two highly regarded shows, Malice in Wonderland and Total Mayhem, will run three and a half hours in length. I have also adjusted several of the TCW titles. The World and World Tag Team titles will be pushed as Main EVent level championships. The weight restriction on the All Action title has been removed and it is being pushed as a Mid Level title. The T.V title will be open weight, and low level, but based around youngsters. I have one more low level title in the works, it will debut at Malice. The International title remains welded to Wolf Hawkins abdomen.
