EWA: Why No One Cares About Wrestling In Europe

[Comradebot]

OOC: I'm absolutely LOVING this game. Indeed, I haven't been as into a game like this one since, well... ever! So, a year and three point five months in, I've decided that the world at large should know of the saga of this lowly European company. But much has happened in the world since I took the helm of the floundering EWA! So let's start off with a quick rundown of whats happened in the world at large, shall we? (Seemed like it might be quasi-interesting, plus it gives me time to put the finishing touches on a couple of storylines!) [B]It is currently April, Week 3, of 2009[/B] [U]Promotion News[/U] Canadian Women's Wrestling Federation was found in February 2009 by Tamara McFly World Level Wrestling went bankrupt in October 2008, following a career ending injury to The Incredible Koyama and an abyssmal Japanese economy.

It's great to see EWA get some love- I prefer UEW myself but it's always good to see the more obscure feds get some lovin'

[QUOTE=1PWfan;466383]It's great to see EWA get some love- I prefer UEW myself but it's always good to see the more obscure feds get some lovin'[/QUOTE] Exactly! And it add to it, it really feels like UEW is the more popular of the European companies. Still, can't remember seeing diary for either one of em, while there's countless ones for the WWE and SWF. And you know what? Neither of those companies have Boris Kiriyakin.

[SalParadise]

You've been raving about this game, so I'm really excited to see this dynasty.

[Hyde Hill]

Good luck and nice to see the Europeans getting some love. I liked UCR too bad they and DAVE are gone.

II![/B][/CENTER] [I]Spiros Landrakis, Jr., is the son of the original Spiros the Mighty who in the 1970s first undertook the task of being a talentless Greek guy who oozed charisma and was destined to never be remembered on account of Europe being nothing more than the fictional setting in Austin Powers or James Bond movies, or a land full of bosomy blonde girls and/or ruthless Bolsheviks, as far as the average wrestling fan is concerned. This oozing of charisma and rampant steroid usage made the new Spiros the Mighty a perfect fit for the young European Wrestling All-Stars promotion, and as such he was hired in early 2008 to lead them to the glory of... um... only semi-obscurity.[/I] [I]And so we find our new, unforgettable if you new he existed, hero as his fingers ravage the keyboard of a computer proudly running Windows 98 inside his neither big nor fat Greek apartment.

Nice roster so far and LFM coming out of retirement must have been a God (/Adam Ryland) send! Plus the signing of Khoklov. Good luck and nice read so far. [QUOTE]Democracy and Married With Children, is a new and exciting concept in some parts of this continent.[/QUOTE] Just a tad over the top, also depends what you count as Europe and what you don´t.

Voodude, still wearing that ever so awesome top hat, tossed Beauchamp around the ring with apparent ease. Several times Joey managed to get some offense in, but before he could really build on it Haiti Voodude would slap him back down with authority! Despite this, Haiti Voodude just couldn’t put away Joey Beauchamp, and eventually the scrappy cruiserweight managed to take control and lay connect with a Breeze Block to put away Voodude.

Marat seems to be meditating while staring at a picture of Lenin… a small tear even forms in his eye. Bam Bam takes a far different approach, and heaves a large duffel bag into the ring with him. It is hastily unzipped, and Johansson’s massive hands briefly vanish inside… and come back gripping what appears to be a dead bull shark. Bam Bam Johansson opens his mouth and squeezes the shark in the, well, genitalia region and shoots a stream of what’s hopefully just something disguised to appear to be bull shark testosterone directly into his mouth. EWA announcer, Mark Stanford enters the ring.[/I] [B]Mark Stanford: [/B]Ladies and gentlemen, we have randomly selected a member of EWA’s roster to be the judge for tonight’s Flex Off 2009 between Marat Khoklov and Bam Bam Johansson.

What a shock, that the most charismatic man in the world today was randomly selected to be the judge of tonight’s event! [I]Louis Figo Manico, not slightly shocked to be given this “honor”, makes his way down to the ring where Marat Khoklov has begun to write in a diary about how much Lenin makes him feel and the once plump bull shark in the hands of Bam Bam Johansson has been squeezed into a form more akin to beef jerky.[/I] [B][COLOR="red"]Louis Figo Manico:[/COLOR][/B] Wow, what an honor to be able to judge the first ever annual Flex Off contest. I must admit, right now I should be preparing for my match against Spiros the Mighty and not judging two men based on their bodies, but who am I to criticize the decisions of the EWA staff, and the wishes of the EWA fans! I know the children of Europe love Louis Figo Manico, and if I must sacrifice valuable preparation time for my match tonight then I shall… for the children. (Could he be any more over-the-top-babyface?) But I am but the humble judge, and it is these two men I ask of you to give your undivided attention, Marat Khoklov and Bam Bam Johansson! [I]On cue, both men play briefly to the crowd and get into their ready positions.[/I] [B][COLOR="red"]Louis Figo Manico:[/COLOR][/B] The order in which we shall begin was chosen by coin toss backstage.

[I]Bam Bam Johansson throws one arm in front of his body, and flexes it… the crowd pops and Marat takes a step back. Marat responds, only for Bam Bam to give an even superior flex and draw a larger pop. Marat, in a last ditch effort, turns around and flexes his equally massive back muscles! Bam Bam turns around, apparently ready to admit defeat… but instead flexes his gluteus! Louis Figo Manico gives a small grimace at the sight, the crowd goes wild, and Marat attempts to do the same… but instead collapses to his knees, out flexed.[/I] [B][COLOR="red"]Louis Figo Manico:[/COLOR][/B] It appears we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen!

Sure enough, Spiros the Mighty’s music begins and the Greek powerhouse makes his way down to the ring. A bell ring signifies the start of the match and both men immediately lock up in the middle of the ring. Spiros wisely uses his power to shove Louis off of him before “The Pain From Spain” can do anything tricky with his technical prowess. Spiros goes on the attack with a display of average, but painful looking strikes and power moves, doing what he can to prevent Louis Figo Manico from getting a good grip on him. LFM goes on the defense, and finally turns the match around in his favor after impressively countering a clothesline attempt from Spiros into an armbar! Spiros powers out, only to be sent back to the mat with a Vertical Suplex. Spiros gets back up and shoves Louis with incredible force into ropes, and kicks him in the gut as bounces, setting up the Wrath of the Gods (a stunner)! Louis shoves Spiros off to the ropes save himself, and as he bounce back Louis Figo Manico kicks Spiros in the gut and hits the Madrid Maul! Louis Figo Manico covers and gets the three count! Louis Figo Manico defeated Spiros the Mighty in 13:35 by pinfall with a Madrid Maul.

He jump on the turnbuckle and celebrates with the crowd briefly, all of them eating it up. A helpful cameraman goes to hand LFM his title while he’s up there, and LFM bends over to grab it… and Spiros grab him from behind and delivers a back breaking German Suplex to the champ off the turnbuckle! An enraged Spiros the Mighty relentless stomps on the prone Louis Figo Manico before finally hoisting him over his head in a Press Slam position and pitches the champion out of the ring to the mat below!

great show, i have no exposure to the european promotions in TEW I liked this diary and will try to keep on top of it. 5 stars for this great start!

[Hyde Hill]

Nice show mate, almost expected Manico to start speaking in that horrible accent I gave him, seems the wrath of god theme has spread everywhere hehe. Good use of Manico I would spam the hell out of him too and goood use of Khoklov keep him out of the ring but use his overness hehe. PS where is the Fresh Prince of Belarus?

[Comradebot]

[QUOTE=Hyde Hill;468396]PS where is the Fresh Prince of Belarus?[/QUOTE] Sadly, he's still in UEW. My roster is kind of bloated as it is, and money is still rather tight. I'll definetly sign him one day, but right now I'm focusing on building up some of my current roster. If I brought him in now though, that'd be one less worker who needs to improve who wouldn't be getting the time to do so. Odds are the Fresh Prince will be the next worker I sign the moment a spot on the roster opens up. After all, his talent, charisma, and overness are perfect for this company. Also, bonus for the cool nickname.

[Hyde Hill]

Maybe fire someone like say: Roberto Milano or one of the girls? As they are at uneven numbers and some are I quote; 'roster filler'. But you are probably right to wait til one of the big boys snatches Greg Kieth and or Matravers. PS hope you not to pissed how I portrayed UCR and Manico and enjoyed the read, plus check out my dynasty in the future for a reference you wil like I hope

But you are probably right to wait til one of the big bus snatches Greg Kieth and or Matravers.[/QUOTE] I actually like Milano, he's a solid technical wrestler and actually has decent charisma. I might end up firing Jeri Behr, as she consitently sucks at everything she does on shows. As it is, most of my women can't fight each other in singles matches right now due to the match traps. But she might be gone soon enough. Definetly see Sergei being a bigger draw now than she ever will be.

I just read this, and I love it. I'm actually using Khoklov in my diary as a legit monster, so it was great to see him as a comical stereotype who HATES CAPITALISM. He needs to quote Dolph Lundgren more. "I win for me. FOR ME!" "I must break you!" "If he dies, he dies," and etc. In fact, if there's a way for me to incorporate the style and gimmick you used with ass-kicking in the ring, I'll do it. I also smile that your segment of the night was a flex-off.
