Title Unification Match: Puerto Rican Power vs [B]Shawn Gonzalez[/B] Gonzalez has more upside than PRP - although I sense a heel turn for Shawn very soon. Peoples Championship: [B]Kirk Jameson[/B] vs Rudy Velasquez Rudy isn't going to snap his losing streak in a title match! Tag Team Championship: [B]Totally Einstein[/B] vs Wave of Violence Champs retain, but only by DQ as WOV go berserk on them, including a post match beatdown. [B]UNITY (Rainier & Flash)[/B] vs Natural Storm [B]Angel De Mexico[/B] vs The Great Oxiii Joe Benning vs [B]The Sensational Singh[/B] [B]Dino Bravo [/B]vs Dragon Del Arco Iris Messiah's Circus vs [B]Matt Hocking & ???[/B] Could go either way - it all depends on who '???' is!

[COLOR="Purple"][B]Unificado[/B] [/COLOR] Title Unification Match: Puerto Rican Power vs Shawn Gonzalez [I]- Double DQ, Double Count Out, Double Schmozz. I just can't see PRP agreeing to another job but I don't see the point in continuing the vanity insanity of another PRP 'real' reign, let alone a double reign.[/I] Peoples Championship: [B]Kirk Jameson[/B] vs Rudy Velasquez [I]- I see no reason to give Velasquez the win unless it's to keep Gonzalez happy for losing the other two Kings of the Island.[/I] Tag Team Championship: Totally Einstein vs [B]Wave of Violence[/B] [I]- The brilliance of Young Einstein Juniors are better as babyface Bill n' Ted chasers than as THE tag team.

The finish saw Natural Storm about to put me away with the Final Storm, but I managed to slip out, Howard then tried to nail me with a big boot but I moved out of the way and he ended up drilling Rayne in the face instead. I then took immediate advantage driving Rayne into the mat with the C.R Driver, to pick up the win as Flash made sure that Howard wasn't able to rectify his mistake and break up the pin. Solid enough but it went a few minutes too long, but blame that on one of my main eventers being someone who starts to blow up at around 15 minutes, meaning that matches like this ended up getting padded out with a few needless minutes.

The match itself wasn't all that bad for the five minutes it ran for and Singh and Benning looked to have pretty good chemistry together. But the crowd just weren't interested in seeing a match between a jobber and a mid-carder who has currently stalled. Singh didn't really need Oxii's prescence this time, as he won this relatively clean (it took an ey poke to turn the match in his favour at around the two minute mark), forcing Benning to submit to the Singh It Back.

Whilst I think Sara Silver does a good job as our resident backtage interviewer, sometimes it's good to just have the wrestlers speak for themselves, especially if they want to drum home the importance of a match, as with this promo from Gonzalez.[/FONT] ____________________________________________________________ [CENTER][B]Match #3: Dino Bravo w/ Lisa Bowen vs Dragon Del Arco Iris[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DeanDaniels-Alt1.jpg[/IMG] w/ [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_LisaBowen.jpg[/IMG] [B]vs [/B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DragnDelArcoIris.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Those who said that a win over Zonk two shows ago, hardly makes Dragon a title challenger (even for a mid-card belt) are one hundred percent correct but I was short of viable challengers that weren't going to be re-treads or were tied up with something else, that said Dragon did put in a good showing. However despite having a good few years experience on our current Peoples champ Kirk Jameson, Dino Bravo wasn't able to pull the same quality of match out of Dragon. This pretty much followed a pattern of Dragon runs rings round Bravo, Bravo takes begs off/takes a powder, Dragon goes for some flippity floppity move, Lisa Bowen causes a distraction, Bravo takes advantage, hit's a relatively big move like a suplex, Dragon kicks out and lives to fight another day....rinse and repeat for the next eight minutes. The finish came when Dragon had take down Bravo with spinning head-scissors, and then went out onto the apron for the Dragonrana, but when Dragon was about to springboard back in, Lisa Bowen swiped away his legs, causing him to lose his footing, he then crashed into the ring where Bravo then rolled him up, grabbed a handful of tights an literally stole the win, for his first victory in an FCW ring.

They brawled in and around the ring for a bit, with Brett Graveson struggling to keep control but Carl Batch turned things round his his boys favour with a slapjack shot to the back of Mainstream Hernandez, just as Primus sent Bradford Peverall into one of the guard-rails. As the match settled down Mainstream Hernandez found himself isolated in the Wave of Violence corner, who get in as many cheap-shots as they possibly can, whilst Bradford Peverall complains about their under-handed tactics. Naturally this only serves to distract the referee and as we all know a one week old baby has a bigger attention span than a professional wrestling referee, which only allows Wave of Violence to take more short-cuts, which includes Carl Batch lighting up a cigar and blowing smoke in the face of Hernandez. Things especially don't look good for the Tag Champs when Primus drives Hernandez into the mat with the Power Plant (Running Power Slam) but Carl Batch actually tells Primus to lift Hernandez, up off the canvas so they can inflict more punishment ! Ultimately though that greediness, becomes Wave of Violence un-doing as Hernandez counters an attempt at the W.O.V Spike from Marc Speed into the Pontiac To Home, the then somehow managed to summon up enough energy to nail Primus with a drop-kick, that sent the big man slumping into the corner. Hernandez then fell to the canvas form exhaustion and scrambled across (agonizingly slowly) to get the tag into Bradford Peverall. Peverall cleaned house for a bit on both members of W.O.V , eventually drilling M.C Speed with the Totally Totalled (Spinning Sit-Out inverted brainbuster), however Primus dove into make the save and this soon brought Hernandez back into the ring where things totally broke down again, eventually this led to the brawling spilling out into the ringside area again, until Mainstream Hernandez climbed up one of the turbuckles and took everyone down with a moonsault press. Hernandez then rolled Marc Speed into the ring, and after planting Speed with an STO, he headed up top once more only for Carl Batch to swing the blackjack at him . The blackjack missed but it caused Hernandez to lose his footing, and Marc Speed took advantage with a running drop-kick as Hernandez was in the tree of woe postion (as this is happening Primus & Peverall are locked in a stale-mate as they exchange chair-shots and generic looking punches with one another). Marc Speed then drags Hernandez out into the middle of the ring, and whips Hernandez into the ropes but all of a sudden someone hops over the guard-rail......... It's Sara Silver ! Sara Silver is here after all ! Silver trips Speed up........the little man of W.O.V then stumbles right into the path of a Super-Kick from Hernandez and that's enough for the chief Mainstreamer to seal the victory for Total Einstein ! Not the worst tag title match in the history of FCW, but nothing that really helps forward these titles on from feeling like the ugly step child of the FCW Titles. The main titles get to main event, whilst the People's Title matches often steal the show, where as the Tag Titles just plod along in a sea of D/D- mediocrity.

The match started off with Angel using his speed to keep Oxii off balance, but eventually the big fat genie caught up with the masked man and he began to over-power Angel. Angel sold for Oxii’s power offence, and it looked all over when Oxii went for the Ox Plough (rebound fore-arm smash), but Angel ducked under and then sent Oxii crashing into his ‘manager’ The Sensational Singh who was up on the apron. Oxii staggered back at Angel rebounded off the ropes to fell Oxii with a baseball slide drop-kick. The masked man then headed up top, but Great Oxii began to stir and got up to his feet, only for Angel to dive off and take Oxii down to the mat with aTilt-A-Whirl into an armbar he calls the Mexican Death. Angel had the submission locked on tight and Oxii was soon tapping out.

Frustrated at being able to keep control of the match, Jameson went out for a powder to console with his manager Maryam Vega. Velasquez came Jameson not time though to get his bearings , as he sling-shot himself over the top-rope to take down Jameson with a cross-body. Velasquez then went to pitch Jameson back into the ring, but the champion put the brakes on, and levelled the UNITY member with a fore-arm smash, before shooting Velasquez back first into the guard-rail. After breaking up Bret Graveson’s floor count, Jameson continued to work over Velasquez on the outside, first of all whipping him once again into the guard-rail, then sending the UNITY man over with a release belly to belly suplex. Jameson then pitched Velasquez back into the ring and went for a cover. Velasquez kicked out but Jameson kept up the pressure driving his knee into the back of Velasquez several times, before putting the former tag champion into a stretch plum. Jameson wrenched back on the neck of Velasquez, but the UNITY man refused to give up and the started to fight his way back to his feet, eventually forcing Jameson to release the hold with a series of back elbows. Velasquez then tried to work up some momentum, bouncing off the ropes to charge at Jameson, only to be cut off with a with a clothesline from the champion. Jameson then picked up a dazed Velasquez and set up for the Finisher #1 (Wrist Clutch Olympic Slam) but Velasquez managed to slide out of the predicament, and then nail Jameson with a roundhouse kick. Jameson staggered back, rebounded off the ropes and walked right into a standing drop-kick from Velasquez, who then dropped to the mat out of sheer exhaustion. After both shook the cobwebs from their heads, Jameson went to take down Velasquez with a lariat, but the UNITY man ducked under, and then took Jameson off his feet with a leg-whip. Velasquez then waited for Jameson to get back to a seated position before nailing the champ with a running knee drive. That earned Velasquez a two count, who then kept up the pressure with a standing moonsault for another two count. Velasquez then headed up top and appeared to be setting up for the Latino Press, but Maryam Vega climbed up on to the apron and grabbed his foot. Velasquez shook her off but it gave Jameson enough time to get back to his feet, and climbed the turnbuckle himself. Jameson then tried to bring Velasquez back into the ring with a superplex, but the UNITY man managed to shove him off, causing Jameson to land flat on his back. Velasquez then soared off with the Latino Press, but he ended up hitting nothing but canvas as he rolled out of the way. The ‘Marksman’ then waited for Velasquez to stagger up to his feet, before nailing the former tag champ with the Pin Point Accuracy (Step Up Enziguri). Jameson thought he had the match won there and then but Velasquez landed near enough to the ropes to stretch out an arm and grab the bottom rope. Jameson then pulled Velasquez up and applied a Half Nelson, before attempting to dumped Velasquez with a Half Nelson Suplex, but Velasquez grabbed the ropes, forcing Jameson to break the hold. Jameson then went to re-apply the hold but this time Velasquez caught him with a back elbow before sliding under the rope, and re-entering the ring with a springboard clothesline. Velasquez then waited for a suddenly dazed Jameson to get to his feet, as he set up for a Street Cutter, but Jameson had it scouted blocking the move and then countering into a snap suplex. That earned Jameson a two count, but more significantly Jameson now had Velasquez planted to the mat, where he could now apply the Best Submission In The World Ever (Cattle Mutilation). Velasquez tried his best to make it over to the ropes, but Jameson proved too determined and in the end Graveson called for the bell as the UNITY man faded. That felt pretty routine by Jameson’s increasingly lofty standards. In their defence though, they were told to hold back a bit, as we did not want them ‘stealing’ the show from the main event, which may have been the danger if we had them go all out.

Puerto Rican Power, over powers Gonzalez, and he backs the Lone Wolf up into the corner, but Gonzalez slides out and catches Power with a big right hand. Gonzalez pummels away on the Puerto Rican Champion but Power soaks up the onslaught, and throws Gonzalez into the corner, to deliver his own barrage of lefts and rights. Power then whips Gonzalez all the way across the ring into the opposite turnbuckle, and follows in with a running boot. Power then takes a dazed Gonzalez and plants the FCW Champion to the mat with a power-slam......... One............. Two............ Gonzalez kicks out. Power then lifts the Lone Wolf up to a vertical base, before whipping Gonzalez into the ropes. Power then goes for the roaring elbow but Gonzalez sees it coming, ducks under and the rocks Power with a roaring elbow of his own. Power stays on his feet, but Gonzalez rebounds back off the ropes tot take Power down with an Ed Henson Press. Gonzalez then rolls through into a pin, but the Puerto Rican Champion simply powers him off. Power then gets back to his feet, but Gonzalez keeps him at bay with a series of kicks, that begin to unbalance the 320 Ib Puerto Rican Icon. With Power struggling to stay on his feet, Gonzalez hopped up the second turnbuckle and further rocked Power with a flying fore-arm smash. That was followed by a Pat Deacon Knee Lift that had Power doubling over and left prone to the HOWL IN THE WIND (Rolling Cutter) ! One........... Two............ Thr............... Noooo !! Power wasn't going to give up his title, without putting up more of a fight. Gonzalez then tried to lock on the Latino Crab, but Power managed to scramble out of it, losing his long legs to kick Gonzalez of. Eventually Power began to take control, wiith a combination of kicks and punches. He then whipped Gonzalez into the ropes, and as Gonzalez rebounded off, Power applied a Full Nelson. Gonzalez soon found himself being worn down in the Atomic Fulle Nelson as Power, used his supreme upper body strength to keep hold of the lock and swing the FCW Champion from side to side....... It looked as if though Gonzalez was starting to fade , and referee Bret Graveson took a look, raising the arm of the Lone Wolf.......... The arm dropped down.......... Graveson took another look............. The arm dropped down again, it looked like Gonzalez chances at unifying the belts were fading......... Graveson with one more look.......... This time Gonzalez arm stayed up ! and he began to struggle free with all his strength. Power then had enough and flung Gonzalez over with the San Juan Impact (Full Nelson Suplex), but somehow Gonzalez managed to land on his feet and took Power off his feet, with a basement slide drop-kick. Exhausted from being on the receiving end of the Atomic Full Nelson, Gonzalez simply slumped to the mat, but landed near Power and draped an arm over the Puerto Rican Champion........... One............. Two........... Unsuprisingly Power kicked out, and he lifted a still dazed Gonzalez back up to a vertical base, whipping the FCW Champion into the ropes then nailing him with a roaring elbow, the Atomic Drop followed, then the spinebuster..........Gonzalez chances were slipping away, but as Power moved int to finish Gonzalez off with the San Juan Rush, the Lone Wolf grabbed Power's foot, taking the Puerto Rican Champion down with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip. Gonzalez then transistioned that into the Latino Crab ! Gonzalez had it synched right in and the crowd could see the pain etched on the face of the Puerto Rican icon, but just as it looked like he might tap, Power dug down, eventually getting himself in postition to grab the ropes and force Gonzalez to break the hold. Both took a breather after the rope break, before going at each other once again with left and rights, neither one of them was going to give an inch and it eventually fell into a very sluggish sequence of big lefts and rights being thrown by either man, as the other one 'no-sold' the offence of the other man. This was eventually broken up as Power sent Gonzalez over the top-rope with a clothesline. Gonzalez then staggered back onto the apron, and Power went to suplex the Lone Wolf back into the ring. Gonzalez held firm however, catching Power with a series of elbows to the side of the head.......Gonzalez then lifted Power up and SUPLEXED ! the Puerto Rican Icon over the top-rope sending both men crashing to the floor.......... Power looked out of it, and all Gonzalez had to do was get them both back in the ring, make the cover and unify the belts. But the Lone Wolf had also taken the bump hard, and he too was finding it difficult to get back to his feet as Bret Graveson started a twenty count. Gonzalez finally managed to get up around Eight , and he began to drag the limp body of Power over to the apron, but he was finding it difficult.......... Five.............. Four................... Gonzalez has Power 'up' by the apron.......... Three............. Two................ Gonzalez is trying to roll Power into the ring........... One..................... Too late as Graveson calls for the bell....an exhausted Shawn Gonzalez then slumps to the floor , disappointed that he was unable to get Power back into the ring. This match ends in a draw, and the issue of who really is the best in FCW is yet to be resolved. The match itself was pretty generic and typical of near enough every other Puerto Rican Power title defence. What lifted this above being totally forgettable, was a hot crowd, with a good proportion of them not only supporting but believing in the FCW Champion Shawn Gonzalez.

Despite telling Jameson-Velasquez to hold back in the semi main event, Power and Gonzalez could only put together a generic 'just like every other Puerto Rican Power match' brawl in the main event, despite the build we have been giving this match.

Only one to call the indecisive finish of the main event. Go me! Whooo!

[CENTER][B][U]April in Review[/U][/B][/CENTER] Unificado was another solid show, though to be honest we were hoping for better from the main event, considering that we had been building towards it for eight months. On a postive note another solid attendance saw us make a profit again this month. Joining us are Lisa Bowen who made her debut at Unificado, it seems likely she will replace Maryam Vega as our token heel female valet, rather than be in addition to her, as we though Vega is good looking she doesn't really bring much else to the table. Also joining is the wrestler who debuted under the ??? Mask, his true identity will be revealed fairly soon as once it his revealed it wont reveal anyone major but we believe we have added a bright young athlete with plenty of potential to break out as a star in FCW. Finally we have signed Roderick Remus, on a short-term 'trial' similar to that of Nomad and he will make his debut next month. Something I didn't think I would do when I took over the booking reigns at FCW, was resign Ox Krevaziuk (now better known as The Great Oxii) to a contract extension. He's still pretty poor; no scrub that I'm being too kind- make that bloody awful in the ring but I think I've found a good niche for him in the promotion by mainly using him in a ringside enforcer role (even if he's booked to be mostly rubbish at it) and limiting his actual in-ring time mostly to the pre-show. The other reason to keep Ox around, is the fact that he's actually very nice as a person, humble and jovial the large Polish- American may be a rubbish wrestler but he's a positive influence backstage. [RIGHT]____________________________________________________________[/RIGHT] [CENTER][B][U]April News and Notes from around the Wrestling World[/U][/B][/CENTER] [B]General News[/B] TCW have weathered the storm of dropping to Cult Size by shooting right up to Global Size and once again become a true rival to the SWF. [B]Working Signings[/B] CGC have signed Greg Gauge (who will be working as Greg Keith), but intriguingly don't sign his brother Matt. Gaijin journeyman Barry Griffin has signed on with BHOTWG feeder league Hinote Dojo on a PPA deal. Matt Gauge (who will also be working under the Keith surname) has instead turned up in NYCW. Aaron Andrew has defected from TCW to rivals SWF. He initially reported to RIPW but got an immediate call up to SWF's main roster. RIPW have also managed to snag IWC favourite American Elemental on a Pay Per Appearance deal. [B]Worker Extensions[/B] 21CW secure Pit Bull Brown, Stevie Stoat and Road Agent Colin ' The Steamroller' Chalke to new PPA contracts. 4C extend the PPA deals of Whippy The Clown and Lightning Lomas 5SSW managed to keep of arguably their biggest star in Sensational Ogiwara. Whilst announcer Kuniyoshi Chishu and referee Akikzazu Miyagi also sign new PPA deals. APW extend the PPA deals of Swoop McCarthy, D.O.A, Nathan McKenzie and valet Stephanie Drucker. Hyosuke Kokan and White Samurai sign new written contracts with BHOTWG, along with referee Koetsu Shinozaki. And guess what Eisaku Hoshino has signed yet another one of those short-term deals. BSC extended the deal of manager Sienna DeVille. Question is, how much worse would DeVille be than most of their roster, if she decided to get in the ring and wrestled ? It's not like you actually need to know how to wrestle, to take part in a BSC match. CZCW extended the PPA deals of Mainstream Hernandez, Masked Cougar, Brendon Idol and valet Rita Charles. EWA extended the PPA deal of Frank De Pain GCG offered extensions to veterans Harumi Okazawaya and Stuart Ferdinand Hinote Dojo gave a new PPA contract to announcer Hitachi Hatakeda A busy month for INSPIRE as Raul Hughes, Mike Watson, Li Bingci, Burning TakaSh!ta, Hirokumi Saito and Haruhiro Tsumemasa all sign new PPA deals with the MMA influenced promotion.

ROF extended the PPA deal of Gob Narfi, despite releasing (his now former) tag partner Rhys Vali last month. Julian Watson has signed a new PPA deal with SAISHO. SOTBPW kept hold of top heel El Demonio, valet Jennifer Heat and referee Guillermo 'Fast' Navarro. A busy month for SWF as they secure Squeeky McLean, Darryl Devine, Kurt Laramee, Citizen X to new written contracts. Whilst they also keep hold of their current trio of road agents in the form of Chief Two Eagles, Pat Deacon and Fabulous Frank. TCW sealed road agent Robert Oxford and young announcer Shawn Doakes to new written contracts, whilst manager Floyd Goldworthy resigned on a PPA contract. UEW offered new PPA deals to the Lawal brothers Rashid and Rahabad. USPW secured Bruce The Giant, Puerto Rican Power, recently retired Captin USA and road agent Micky Starr to new PPA contracts Kazuma Narato is the latest WLW mainstay to fully commit themselves to the fast rising Lucharesu promotion with a written contract. [B]Worker Releases/Departures[/B] Mario Heroic finished up his commitments with CGC. Kazuma Narato departed from Hinote Dojo after signing a written deal with WLW Dazzling Dave Diamond was not able to agree terms on a contract extension with NYCW Rodger Dodger/Gigolo Jack Stein departs from RIPW, as his PPA deal came to an end. Jon Michael Sharp is the latest young 'prospect' to become a victim of a budget cuts for ROF, as he's not offered a new contract. Shingen Miyazaki has departed SAISHO, vacating their main title in the process. As mentioned in worker signings Aaron Andrews, deciced to defect from TCW to SWF. It's not on the same level as Jack Bruce's departure in 2005, but Andrews was seen as a TCW 'homegrown' and his decision to sign with the rival SWF came as a bit of a suprise. [B]Injuries[/B] GCG must be cursing their luck as Jimmy Cox (Floating Knee Cap- out for 3 months), Hiroyasu Gakusha (Chronic Lower Back Pain- 45 Days) and Shotaro Ikina (Swollen Calf Muscle- 1 month) are fall forced to go on the shelf. The worst of the injury of the month though was suffered by Joshi star Kit Hatoyama in 5SSW, when she tore he rotator cuff, keeping her out for a whole year. [B]Retirements[/B] Womens wrestling veteran Helen Bach called time on her long but unremarkable in-ring career. [B]Backstage Trouble[/B] It appears that two of 21CW's young 'stars' Mister King and Luke Cool have fallen out with one another. [B]Title Changes[/B] Etsuko Ariyoshi caused a shock in Japan claiming the 5SSW World Title from Devil Karube, in only Karube's first defence of the belt, as 5SSW embarked on their latest tour after a two month break and Chitose Ariwara claims the All Asian Title for the first time. Lily & Rose defeated the tandem of Missy Masterson and Alison Capone to claim the vacant AAA Tag Team Titles. White Samurai and Mystic Dragon ended the eight month reign of Shiomi & VENOM to claim the Burning Junior Tag Titles and the near year long World Tag Team title reign of The Rebellion was ended by Tadakuni Toshusai & Chuichi Sanda. Jimmy Cox became the latest in a storied line (that has included Dread, Pistol Pete Hall and Rip Chord) of Gaijin World Champions for GCG. However he was only able to make one succesful title defence, dropping the title to Toshiharu Hyobanshi, who begins his second reign with the belt. Soul Taker became the Campeon de Herencia de Mundo in MPWF for a third time, ending Ultimate Phoenix's impressive 20 month long reign. Angel De Mexico became the Campeon de Mexico for a second time, ending the 7 month reign of veteran Spanish Superfly. Antonio and The Masked Patriot claimed the Tag Titles in MAW, finally bringing to an end the near two year long reign of The Canadian Blondes. After years of trying since his return to Japan from in 2005, Eisaku Kunomasu was finally able to win the PGHW Glory Crown. Transitional champions seem to be vogue in Japan for April as Ugaki, Muryama won the Glory Tag Crown only to lose the belts to Kawashima and Koiso (who are really beginning to establish themselves as one of the premier teams in all of Japan, with what will be their third title reign) The SAISHO Destiny Title lays vacant following the departure of Shingen Miyazaki who had the belt since February 2008. The Avalanche Effect of KOKI Ishibashi and The Incredible KOYAMA became six time tag champions in WLW and Jacob Jett claimed his second reign with the Tap Out Title.

It looked like Hernandez was finally go to ask Silver out on a date, when W.O.V incensed by Silver's inteference in Tag Title match with Totally Einstein, jumped the tag champs then abducted Sara. Meanwhile Wave of Violence themselves will be in singles action as M.C Speed takes on a former tag champion in El Hijo Del Zonk of The Messiah's Circus and the debuting Roderick Remus has the unenviable task of going up against the 'rookie monster' Primus. UNITY's Rudy Velasquez will be looking to get back on the winning track, when he takes on Dino Bravo and he'll need to keep an eye out for inteference from Bravo's valet the seductive Lisa Bowen.

The next show probably wont be up till Monday, as I'm going to be busy with a few other things tomorrow and I doubt I'll have the whole show written up by then. So there's still plenty of time for people to get in predictions, if they've not done so already. And whilst I'm here thanks again to the readers of this and any of of my previous diaries in inducting me to this years Hall of Fame. :)

Both of their success here in FCW is based entirely on one factor alone and that is luck and thankfully for one of them their luck runs out tonight, it's just a shame it'll come against the other one of these two undeserving fools.[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy][B]Dane O'Hara:[/B] Well that's your opinion Cueball and an opinion I'm sure most of these FCW fans disagree with.

Dragon started out much the brighter keeping Singh off balance with his speed and flying, that included a few near falls off a spinning head-scissors take down, a quebrada and a sunset flip, but when Dragon crashed and burned on a tope suicida to the outside, it was all Singh after that as the Flamboyant Indian kept the colourful luchador grounded with a series of backbreakers before finishing the job and picking up a much needed win with the Simply Fabulous (Slingshot Powerbomb).

Velasquez then halted the pressue with a spinning roundhouse kick befoe deciding to take a risk and head up top but Bravo was soon back to his feet and he cut off Velasquez on the top turnbuckle, it then looked like Bravo was going to bring Velasquez back in with a superplex but Velasquez shoved him off and then was able to spike Bravo with a Tornado DDT for a two count. It was all Velasquez for the next minute, and he eventually downed Bravo with the Street Cutter, that should have been the win there but he was denied victory by Lisa Bowen who moved Bravo's foot onto the rope. A livid Velasquez then went to argue his case with referee Brett Graveson, but he was low blowed from behind by Bravo, who then spun Velasquez round, cradled his leg and drilled the UNITY man into the mat with his Cradle Piledriver he is now calling 'Raise The Stakes' Reasonable mid-card match that gives Bravo a relatively 'clean' win but further establishes his sneaky heel character.

Zonk sort of played the de-facto face here, but the fans weren't really buying into it and in fact there was more vocal support for M.C Speed. All you really need to know is that Zonk tried to take Speed down with various flippity floppity moves, whilst the W.O.V man tried to keep the match on the mat. The finish came when Zonk missed a Zonk Bomb (just ike 90 % of how his matches finish, come to think of it), and Speed capitalised with a W.O.V Spike (Double Arm DDT).

Just as it looked like I was going to butterfly his arms for the C.R Driver, following a spinning heel-kick to the Mainstreamers mid-section, Hernandez managed to slip out and get the tag in to Bradford Peverall. Peverall peppered me some (you've guessed it) European Uppercuts, but was unable to keep me down in the middle of the ring and I countered with a roundhouse kick, before getting the tag into Steve Flash. Flash took Peverall down with a drop toe hold, slowing the pace down by putting Peverall into a Boston Crab. Peverall was not worn down enough though and soon reached the ropes. Flash then tries for a suplex but Peverall fought out with couple of back elbows before following up with a rebound European Uppercut and the tag into a refreshed Mainstream Hernandez who nailed Flash with a Missile Drop-Kick. Hernandez then followed with with a leg-sweep and a standing moonsault for a two count. He then waited for Flash to stagger to his feet and he went for a super-kick but the veteran had it scouted and he took the Mainstreamer off his feet with a Dragon Screw leg-whip, before dragging him over to the UNITY corner. Flash and myself worked over Hernandez using quick tags to constantly keep the fresh man in, but a miscommunication on a leg-lariat, leg sweep combo, allowed Hernandez to roll over to his corner and get the tag into Bradford Peverall, who dished out another flurry of European Uppercuts. Peverall then nailed me with a Rock Hard Uppercut and it looked all over only for Flash to break up the pin with an elbow drop. Hernandez then re-entered and it broke down into a two on two brawl. Eventually ending with the fight spilling to the outside and ending with myself climbing up to one of the turnbuckles and taking everybody out with a moonsault. At this point Carl Batch comes out onto the entrance ramp which seems to get the attention fo referee Bret Graveson, suddenly M.C Speed and Primus emerge.....and they nail everyone over the head with chair-shots except rather curiously Mainstream Hernandez. Primus then pitches Steve Flash into the ring, oblvious to what just went on Hernandez rolls back into the ring and sees Flash lying motionless on the canvas, he then heads up top and pulls off the Apparition #14 (Moonsault Leg-drop) to seal the victory and retain the titles for Totally Einstein. But just why did Wave of Violence help them retain the belts ? Considering the talent involved in this match I was hoping for a little better, I think there must be some kind of cap on how much the FCW crowd can enjoy a tag match.

Jameson powered out, but Angel continued to frustrate the champion in the early going with arm-drags, head-scissor take-downs and roll-ups. All of which didn't really bring Angel close to victory but started to wear down the Marksman, who having enough of not being able to get a foothole in the match, went out for a powder to consult with Maryam Vega. Angel De Mexico wasn't in any mood though for Jameson, to slow the pace of the match down, and he soared over the top rope with a no hands plancha. Angel then went to pitch Jameson back into the ring, but the champion put the brakes on, before whipping the challenger back first into the ring apron and following in with the Pin Point Accuracy (Jumping Enziguri). Jameson then took a breather, before briefly rolling in the ring to break referee Bret Graveson's twenty count. Jameson then picked Angel up and dumped the challenger chest first on top of the guard-rail. He then draped Angel over the guard-rail before spiking him onto the floor with a DDT. Jameson then pitched a dazed Angel into the ring, before going for the cover........ One.......... Two.......... Much to Jameson's disbelief Angel kicked out. Jameson then lifted Angel off the mat, before pulling out a tri-fecta of snap suplexes and going for another cover. One.......... Two......... Thr......... The Mexican showed that he had some fight still left in him, by kicking out. Jameson determined to try and finish the masked man off locked on the Best Submission In The World Ever (Cattle Mutilation). It looked as though Angel was starting to fade and Brett Graveson checked on his condition.......... There looked to be no response from the masked Mexican. Graveson took another look......... Still no response from Angel............. Graveson with one more check......... This time Angel started to stir much to the frustration of Kirk Jameson, who turned Angel over for the elbows, but Angel used that opportunity to roll Jameson up into small package. Jameson kicked out and then pulled Angel up for the Finisher #1 (Wrist Clutch Olympic Slam), but going away from the initial game plan proved to be a mistake as Angel slipped off and then nailed Jameson with a standing drop-kick. Jameson then rebounded back off the ropes but Angel took him down with a spinning head-scissors and then applied an arm-bar in a variation of Angel's Mexican Death Submission. Suddenly Kirk Jameson found himself in trouble in the middle of the ring and the masked mexican had the submission locked on tight. However Jameson started to lose his size and power to edge himself over to the ropes, eventually getting an assist from Maryam Vega to reach the ropes. Angel De Mexico also spotted the 'assist' and argued with Brett Graveson over the fact, however his protests were falling on deaf ears as Graveson ignored his pleas and all it did was allow Kirk Jameson to club him from behind and then dump him with a Half Nelson suplex......... However Angel De Mexico managed to flip back onto his feet and as Kirk Jameson turned round Angel De Mexico took the 'marksman' down with an arm-drag . Jameson then got back to his feet but the masked mexican took the champion off his feet again with a baseball slide, before following up with a standing shooting star press ! One............ Two.......... Jameson kicked out but he remained rooted to the mat and Angel deciced to head up top, but as he got to the top turnbuckle, Jameson had got back to his feet but Angel De Mexico was a step ahead and the challenger dove off the top turnbuckle to spike Kirk Jameson with a Tornado DDT ! One.......... Two......... Thr........... Jameson kicked out and Angel decided to head up top again but Maryam Vega got up on the apron and her prescence distracted Angel long enough for Kirk Jameson to get back to his and sweep the legs out of Angel. Jameson then climbed the turnbuckle himself before bringing Angel in with a superplex......... But Angel managed to shift his bodyweight over mid-move and as they landed on the mat Jameson found himself being pinned by the masked mexican. Angel De Mexico then hooked the leg............ One............. Two........... Three !!!! The crowd are in shock as Angel De Mexico wins the match out of nowhere, they're also shocked as Jameson was really starting to look dominant as the Peoples champ. A good final defence of the title for Jameson, who sadly will be leaving us after this event (more on that later).

They get closer to each other, eventually coming nose to nose (not quite seeing as Gonzalez is a fair few inches shorter than Power, but you get the gist). They then suddenly explode on one another with lefts, rights, knees you name it. Neither man gives an inch and eventually as expected the ring can't contain them and the fight soon spills to the outside. Gonzalez gains the advantage with a knee to the gut and goes to send Power into one of the barricades, but the Puerto Rican Champ puts the brakes on, reversing into a whip of his own, that is so hard, it send Gonzalez flailing over the barrier. Power then climbs over the barrier, and as Gonzalez scrambles to his feet he stumbles right into a running boot from Power, who then picks the Lone Wolf back up to his feet, he then tells some of the fans to clear the way, before literally throwing Gonzalez into piles of chairs (it's no DQ but being Falls Count Anywhere, it is 'relaxed' rules). Power then goes in to make the cover. But Gonzalez actually goes to the book of dirty tricks and crotches Power with an upturned chair ! Gonzalez then gets to his feet and he spikes the Puerto Rican Champion with a DDT into the chairs ! Gonzalez then goes for the cover One......... Two........ Thr........... Power kicks out. Gonzalez then picks up one of the chairs and he goes to cream Power with it, but the Puerto Rican icon rolls onto his back , and he kicks the chair into the former DaVE man's face. Gonzalez staggers back , giving Power enough time to get to start getting back to his feet. Gonzalez then tries to cut off the comeback with a running knee but Power grabs the leg, and then takes Gonzalez over with a Fisherman suplex ! One......... Two......... Gonzalez manages to kick out. Power then picks Gonzalez back to his feet, and he sets up for a Power Bomb but Gonzalez fights out with some punches to the mid-section. What then follwos for the next few minutes is some more basic brawling with neither man really getting much of an advantage, that ends up with Power clotheslining Gonzalez back over the guard-rail to the ringside area. Power then followed up with another clothesline, fully taking back control of the match, before pitching the Lone Wolf back into the ring. He then let Gonzalez stagger back to his feet before nailing Gonzalez with a roaring elbow, the Atomic Drop followed, then as expected Gonzalez was planted to the mat with a spinebuster. Power then moved in to finish Gonzalez off with the San Juan Rush but Gonzalez had it scouted, grabbing the leg and taking Power down with a Dragon screw leg-whip before, turning Power over and locking him into the Latino Crab. Power scrambled across the ropes, but this time the rope-breaks rule was not in play and he was soon reminded by Brett Graveson that the ropes wouldn't be able to save him......... Graveson checked on Powers condition......... The Puerto Rican Icon looked like he was starting to fade, but all of a sudden he got a second wind, powering himself up to a vertical base, and eventually forcing Gonzalez to break the hold. As Power hobbled back to his feet Gonzalez charged at him with a running knee, but the the big Puerto Rican, sent the Lone Wolf crashing to the floor with a huge back body drop. Power then gingerly hobbled to the outside to follow up, but Gonzalez met him with a headbutt to the mid-section. The former DaVE man then peppered Power with a flurry of elbow and fore-arm shots that had the Puerto Rican icon in a daze. Gonzalez then grabbes the dazed Power and set up for the Howl In The Wind. But Power was playing possum, as he slipped out of it spun, Gonzalez round, put the FCW Champion in a Full Nelson and then drilled Gonzalez onto the entrance ramp with the San Juan Impact (Fulle Nelson Suplex) One.......... Two......... Three !!! Puerto Rican Power has unified the titles and is now the undsiputed king of FCW !! The match turned out to be the solid brawl that these two are capable of, and had a few nice spots but they didn't really bring out anything that special to separate it from their previous encounter and to be honest that made the match a bit disappointing. Also the problem with matches like Falls Count Anywhere, is that whilst some of the fans get to see the action up close and personal, the other half are wondering what the hell is going on.

As you can see from the way I handled the Gonzalez situation I was even prepared for it, but Jameson not even wanting to re-negotiate with me came out of nowhere/didn't make any sense and that's what was so aggravating about it, but I've moved on from it now.

[Beeker]

Actually Tigerkinney, one of my few criticisms about your diary is you're writing it up as if you're still running BHotWG. The 'poor' ratings would be apalling by Hammer Standards but on the small island you're on they aren't so bad. Losing Gonzalez is unfortunate since you now have 0 people who PRP will job to but it should make for a more challenge as you try to build up (and keep) workers the fans want to see and PRP is willing to job to. Jameson could be the bigger blow since he seemed destined for greatness (on Puerto Rico at least.) Perhaps the uber-push hurt the chance of negotiating with him since he feels he's 'bigger than the promotion and island?' I look forward to the resurrection of the Circus. Pleeeeease.

[CENTER][B][U]May in Review[/U][/B][/CENTER] A frustrating month as two of our best workers depart from the promotion in the form of Shawn Gonzalez and Kirk Jameson (Jameson's not officially left let, but he's refused to even negotiate with us over a new contract). Gonzalez we saw coming, and to be fair we understand his decision, as at his age he probably wants one more crack at being able to work for a 'marquee' promotion. The Jameson situation however is baffling, as we were actually grooming him for an eventual main event run. On a positive note, we did make a profit again but I'm starting to feel that we are not expanding quickly enough and I've actually taken the decision to ditch selling our shows via DVD and show them via Internet. The theory is that it might attract more fans to our shows, and get our name out to wrestling fans outside of Puerto Rico. The DVD sales weren't that high anyway and therefore the financial hit if any shouldn't be too significant. The month was further made difficult, when I was at loggerheads with the boss Mr Lopez (better known as Puerto Rican Power to all his adoring fans) over the re-signing of Matt Hocking. Apparently Mr Lopez did not think that Hocking was enough of a legit tough-guy to warrant a contract extension but I stood my ground, insisting that Hocking could be a break out star for the promotion if handled right. Mr Lopez (I'm referring to him by his formal name, when it comes to business matters) eventually relented but he was too happy about my decision. Though Hocking, will probably be the last non legit 'tough guy' I'll be able to sign if I want to stay in the bosses good graces. Sara Silver also signed a contract extension, which is vital right now as she's central to the current Tag Title feud between Totally Einstein and Wave of Violence. One postive thing to come from Shawn departing FCW, is that I was finally able to release his useless younger brother Carlos without feeling the wrath of Shawn. Not every wrestler can be a star, and some can carve themselves out a career as a reliable jobber but Carlos wasn't even good at that.

Perhaps the uber-push hurt the chance of negotiating with him since he feels he's 'bigger than the promotion and island?' I look forward to the resurrection of the Circus. Pleeeeease.[/quote] Lets break these down one by one 1. 'Poor Ratings': I didn't think I was going comparing the ratings to those I got in my BHOTWG diary. I'm well aware that a D rating here, isn't the disaster it would be in BHOTWG. As an example; If you noticed for the main event between Power and Gonzalez I never said it was a poor match, I just said it was disappointing. It had a worse rating than their previous encounter and my user character and Jameson put on a better (C+ rated) match a few shows back, and considering Power and Gonzalez are/were my two biggest stars they should be able to better or match what we did in my opinion. Right now I see the rating scale for FCW as C Range: Good match, D Range: Average Match, E Range: Mediocre Match, F Range: Rubbish/Crowd couldn't care less match. 2. 'No one PRP will job to': That is one of the disadvantages of losing Gonzalez, and I might have to return to the import a 'guest' star to job to PRP tactic for the time being, whilst I'll build up someone on my roster. 3. 'Jameson going is a big blow': Jameson going is a big blow, as I was gradually building him up, he probably would have had a lengthy reign with the Peoples belt and he would have at-least made the finals of the Rey De Reyes in August. Thing is I would have been fine if he wanted to move on because he thought he had 'outgrown' us, but what I got back was some out of no where crap about relations breaking down and him not wanting to sign with us. I mean throughout the talk to worker screen his demeanour was this :), not this :mad:. So when I saw he didn't even want to negotiate over a new contract, my reaction was this :confused::(:mad:. 4. 'Resurrection of Messiah's Circus': The Circus will return in a new encarnation before the end of the year, as I know how popular they are with readers, but I'm not going to crowbar them into current storylines. So they might not re-appear in full force for a few months yet, but they will return.

I'm really enjoying reading this diary, mainly because FCW was the first game I played on TEW08 so it's interesting to see how you deal with the many challenges. One of the reasons I stopped playing however was because of frustrations of losing people - people being too popular I can understand, but I lost Mainstream Hernandez in similar fashion to how you lost Jameson. The main problem I had with FCW though is because the importance in Puerto Rico was so low (around 70-75% IIRC) it made it much more difficult to reach regional level - I think I was up into D- pop and still hadn't got enough importance to reach regional which was just frustrating.

He will now put the newly christened 'Undisputed' Championship on the line against Dino Bravo at FCW's next event Energia Y Gloria on Saturday June 13th 2009. Puerto Rican Power has said that he will proudly carry both the Puerto Rican and FCW Championship belts into the arena every night under the unified banner of 'Undisputed' Champion. Can Dino Bravo (who will have the seductive Lisa Bowen in his corner) derail the juggernaut that is the Puerto Rican icon or will he fall the way of so many others ? Another newly crowned champion Angel De Mexico makes his first defence of the Peoples Championship against The Sensational Singh and the Tag Titles will also be on the line as Totally Einstein defend against Wave of Violence. But will Mainstream Hernandez be mentally prepared for the title defence against the stable who kidnapped Sara Silver ? There was notable tension after Hernandez tag partner Bradford Peverall intervened to put the tag titles on the line against Wave of Violence, rather than accept Carlos Batch proposition of Totally Einstein handing W.O.V the titles in exchange for the safe return of Sara Silver. In other matches Eddie Howard takes on respected veteran and UNITY member Steve Flash, Flash's fellow UNITY member Charles Rainier takes on Roderick Remus, Leper Messiah goes up against Dragon Del Arco Iris and in a 'grudge match' that was deemed unthinkable only a month ago, Joe Benning will look to gain some revenge on his former partner Matt Hocking. The bonus pre-show match will feature the man Hocking replaced Benning with as a tag partner Arthur Dexter Bradley taking on El Hijo Del Zonk.
