SCCW: The Revival

[hrdcoresidebrns]

[I]OOC: I'm hoping to erase the disappointment of my last dynasty with PGHW here on this one. After a few months with the new game engine, I felt as though it was time to give another go to writing a diary. This time I decided to go away from my usual territory of Japan and revive an old southern favorite. Here's hoping it doesn't suck :D Also, as a side note, I will be using a small amount of pictures that have been rendered by other people on the boards. I haven't as of yet been able to figure out who did a few of them, so if any of the artists in question object to their images' use on here, let me know privately and I'll be sure to take them down.[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/SCCW.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="6"]SCCW: The Revival[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/Random_Avatar.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/GilThomas.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] This man is insane. That was the only thought running through my head as I sat across from my boss, Mr. Thomas. I'd been working as his assistant for just under three years now, ever since I graduated from college. It's been something of a hassle, what with his odd requests and the constant running of errands, but it had all been more or less manageable up to this point. The current conversation really began about a year ago as I was sitting in next to Mr. Thomas in his limo between meetings, running down the list of tasks that were yet to be done and prepping him on the clients that we were on our way to meet. Mr. Thomas sat sipping chamomile tea, as per usual, and ignoring me, as per usual, while watching a broadcast of SWF's show from the night before. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"This is rubbish,"[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas muttered aloud. [COLOR="Navy"]"What, the Haverson deal? Granted the short term gains aren't too high, but we're planning for the long..."[/COLOR] I managed to ramble in before being cut off. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"No, not the Haverson deal. I meant this show here. It's as if Eisen has lost his mind."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"Well, sir, I think it's more that he lost his booker. Sam Keith got canned after the Election angle and jumped ship to TCW. Michaels is decent, but he's nowhere near as good a booker as Keith is, and so SWF have been in scramble mode ever since."[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas just sort of stared at me for a minute, and placed his hand to his chin, a tell that I've learned to dread over the years, before chiming in with [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"So you're a wrestling fan, I take it?"[/COLOR] I stammered and tried to shuffle through the papers in my lap hoping for something to jump out at me and steer this conversation anywhere else, but finding nothing I let out my defeated reply. [COLOR="Navy"]"Well, yes. I grew up in Tennessee, and father always took me to the small independent shows when I was younger. I really got hooked by SCCW when I was in high school though."[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"SCCW? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the company."[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas muttered, leaning in to listen intently. As long as I was I wasn't going to get out of this conversation, I might as well drop some knowledge on the man. [COLOR="Navy"]"Southern Championship Class Wrestling. It was Shane Sneer's company, who I believe is a commentator for USPW now. It was a great company, a really old-school southern promotion. He had a good run down in the Tennessee area for a few years before he went bankrupt. It's a shame too, because no one has ever really jumped in after the company folded, even with how much success Sneer had down there. Aside from the occasional TCW or SWF show, there's not really a whole lot of wrestling going on in the South East. If somebody with some money behind them could get something started down there, they'd make a killing."[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas just nodded to himself before we arrived for the meeting, and I more or less forgot about the conversation completely until this moment. I went into Mr. Thomas' office when he arrived this morning to give him the rundown of the day's itinerary when he tossed three gold belts on the desk in front of him. [COLOR="Navy"]"Uh... are these a part of the fall line sir? Should I get Editorial to do a write up for the catalog?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"No, no, Adrian,"[/COLOR] He smiled, his fingertips tapping together in front of his mouth before motioning towards the belts with a wave of his hand. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]These are for you."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"I don't understand, sir. Is this a bonus of some kind? Because if it is, and forgive me if I sound ungrateful, but I can't imagine where I would wear them."[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas looked confused, and I thought for sure I'd be fired on the spot for insulting his presents, but he clarified.[COLOR="DarkGreen"]"No, Adrian. This is your new assignment. I'm somewhat surprised and, frankly, alarmed that you don't recognize them."[/COLOR] I took a closer look at the belts and my heart sank as I realized what was in front of me. On the desk, amid neatly piled stacks of prints for wool hats and some kind of ill-advised green and gold knit poncho sat three gold belts carrying the SCCW logo on them. Sensing that I recognized his gifts, Mr. Thomas went on. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Do you remember that conversation we had in the limo a year or so back? Well what you had said got me thinking. I've fooled around with some West Coast groups here and there, but I've never really committed full time to the wrestling business. But, I managed to dig up some old tapes of SCCW and gave them a watch, and it wasn't too bad. They had some talented guys down there and the fans really ate it up. So after a year or so of negotiations, I managed to buy the rights to the company from Mr. Sneer himself, and I'm planning on reopening Southern Championship Class Wrestling in Tennessee."[/COLOR] I didn't want to know the answer to the question I was about to ask, but I asked it anyway. [COLOR="Navy"]"So what does this have to do with my new assignment, sir?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"You're going to run it, Adrian. You know the company, you knew what it was, and, moreover, you're due for a promotion anyway."[/COLOR] I tried to interject, but he just kept talking. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"I've arranged a plane to take you down to Tennessee this afternoon. Dawn is already waiting down there for you, getting everything set up."[/COLOR] I started to speak, but he cut me off again. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Dawn is your new assistant."[/COLOR] I stood there, completely dumbfounded, as he stood up and shook my hand. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Congratulations, Adrian."[/COLOR] This man is insane.

How exactly did he plan on me reviving Southern Championship Class Wrestling? It had been dead for years - who knows if anyone still even remembers it? I tipped the driver and slung my bag over my shoulder as I headed for the door. However, the door flung inward as I reached for the knob, and I was greeted by a bubbly blond who was so excited it looked like she was about to pass out. [COLOR="Purple"]"HIIIIII! Let me take your bag! My name is Dawn! Dawn Stratton! I'm your new assistant, but I'm sure Mr. Thomas already told you about that - haha. Hi!"[/COLOR] I don't think she took a breath once. [COLOR="Navy"]"Uh, hey... Dawn. Listen I know you're excited about all this, but this isn't exactly going to be a walk in the park. Do you even know what we're supposed to be doing down here?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"]"Oh that reminds me! Mr. Thomas wanted you to call him as soon as you got in. He has some news for you, some kind of business briefing. I'll be working on your appointments for the day."[/COLOR] She thrust a phone at me that was already ringing on the other end before I could even ask her what appointments she was talking about. I pressed the phone to my ear just in time to hear a voice on the other end. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Ah, Adrian. I trust you had a good flight. Now let's get down to business, shall we? The first thing that you need to be informed about is your budget. I've trimmed some fat here and there, and I've managed to free up one million dollars for you to start with."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"A million dollars? Are you sure I'm going to need that much, sir?"[/COLOR] I swallowed hard, almost afraid of handling that much of Mr. Thomas' money. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Well I trust there will be some losses in the first year while we try and get things rolling. But I do have some goals for you to meet. Mostly just dealing with restrictions on who you can hire, but there is a very important matter that will need you full attention. Are you ready?"[/COLOR] I swallowed hard, dreading to hear what news was coming forth. [COLOR="Navy"]"Yes, sir. Go ahead."[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"You're a small company right now, Adrian. I don't want to see you getting any smaller. I don't care about the money, but I need to see growth in the company."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"That's it? You just don't want me getting smaller?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Well that's not all, Adrian. As for the people you can hire, I'll leave it fairly open, with a few exceptions. Firstly, I don't mind paying top dollar for stars, but I want stars that will be able to wrestle, so I don't want anybody on the roster with a history of spending most of their time in the E.R. Understood? And aside from wrestlers actually wrestling, I want them to be able to do it well. I want a strong grasp of the basics, and I want everybody to have at least some idea of what goes into a good match, so study the tapes I sent you closely. There's some good stuff on a few of those guys, and some of them are even SCCW alumni. The rest is up to you, Adrian. Good luck."[/COLOR] [CENTER]* * * * *[/CENTER] I sat in a chair with my chin in my hands as I watched the men in the ring going through their drills. Dawn walked up to me with some notes as the wrestlers continued their tryouts. [COLOR="Purple"]"Mr. Rosenberg, I have some good news. We've gotten a list of commitments here, and our ads have been creating some good buzz."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"Good. Do me a favor. Get Graham out of here - he's god awful. Prince can stay."[/COLOR] I took the list of people who had signed on to be a part of the new SCCW, and one name jumped out at me. [COLOR="Navy"]"Shane Sneer."[/COLOR]

He signed on early to be a part of the new company, taking on the role of color commentator. [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/ErnieTurner.jpg[/IMG] Ernie Turner had been unemployed for quite some time before we contacted him for work, so he was happy to jump back on the SCCW bandwagon. He just asked that we not make him wear a mask this time. [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/JackGriffith.jpg[/IMG] Even though his alcohol dependency had downgraded his skills somewhat, Griffith was a big part of SCCW back in its heyday, and after assuring us that he was clean and sober now, we welcomed him back into the fold. [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/BradyPrince_alt.jpg[/IMG] Brady Prince had been a big part of the tag team division alongside Buck Graham as one half of the Maryland Alliance, but had since reinvented himself as a brawler. Unfortunately, his partner hadn't reinvented himself as a decent wrestler, so Prince joined the new promotion as a solo act. [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/ElijahHarris.jpg[/IMG] The former "Soul Man" of SCCW actually contacted us, and after seeing that he still had some go in his step, we welcomed him back into the fold. Whether or not he can repeat his former success remains to be seen. [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/RickSanders.jpg[/IMG] Sanders was kind of a wild card, as he wasn't terribly popular outside of his tag team with the Punisher, but being that the Punisher wasn't nearly on the same level as Sanders, we brought Sanders in solo for nostalgia's sake, hoping that we could find something worthwhile for him to do.[/CENTER]

They had loads of tag teams, and if I was to have any kind of success in reviving the old brand I needed to bring out some decent teams, but unfortunately the old teams had become, well... old. That's why it was crucial to bring in Howard and Rayne, as well as Waldorf and Statler to be the cornerstones of the division. I knew I had Sneer in the commentating booth, but I needed somebody to pair him with. I brought in Remmington Remus to handle the announcing duties, but a young rookie announcer by the name of Ramon Riggs kind of just showed up at our door one morning looking for a job. He seemed to have some spunk, so I threw him in the booth as well. With Sneer tied up in the booth it freed up some spots for some new managers. I didn't really have any interest in bringing back Herb Stately, seeing as I hadn't brought the Tennessee Outlaws back, so we went with Playboy Jack Sawyer and Sara Silver. Sawyer I had seen I had met with in person, but Silver I had seen on tapes from her work in BSC, and I thought she had the potential to be huge in SCCW. Graveson I brought in as referee, as despite his attitude problems, he was a great referee. Duncan Kendall was brought in as the lead road agent to round out the staff, giving us a good starting point in controlling the backstage. The rest of the names should be familiar to you, or will hopefully become familiar soon. [I][B][SIZE="5"]Coming Up Next: Here We Go...[/SIZE][/B][/I]

Due to us still being relatively small in stature, we ended up having to work around all the workers schedules if we were to go along with everything as planned. This lead to us having the unwelcome honor of debuting on a Thursday night, which had Dawn and I a little nervous about the gates. [COLOR="Purple"]"We have a great advertising campaign, and the matches that we've announced seem to be attracting people."[/COLOR] Dawn reasoned. [COLOR="Navy"]"But it's the middle of the week! Clearly we need a big show to make these guys realize that this isn't just a one-off reunion show. We can't work around their schedules forever."[/COLOR] It had been somewhat frustrating, as the fan support was there, but the fall of SCCW had left some skeptical opinions from those in the business. Not everybody, it seemed, was ready jump back on board the SCCW bandwagon. Everything was riding on this first show - if it bombed, there wasn't going to be much of a chance for the big SCCW revival that Mr. Thomas and I had planned. So Dawn and I decided that the best route to take was bringing in one more big name for the show. We were having a special tournament to crown the new SCCW Champion, and we had an empty slot to fill. We needed somebody that could deliver the goods in addition to drawing the fans in, so we went with everybody's favorite ring general. [CENTER][IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/SCCW/SteveFlash.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Steve would be the final man in the tournament, and we also decided to crown the new tag champions on the show to stack the deck in our favor. We had our fingers crossed that the show would deliver. [CENTER][SIZE="5"][U]SCCW The Rumble in Tennessee[/U][/SIZE] [B]One Night Only!

Despite having some good technical skills, and managing to catch up to Flash's superior flying skills towards the end of the matchup, Cattley was still unable to make it a two tournament sweep, and should hope he has better luck in the Invitational tomorrow night.

His opponent, fittingly, was a mainstay of the promotion during it's maiden voyage. Despite being known for his work in the tag team ranks, Sanders more than held his own here against Marlowe. However, perhaps unfamiliarity was his undoing, as he ended up falling victim to a Jungle Jack Hammer for the pinfall, ending his dream of holding the title that eluded him in his first tenure.

Martin, while a stranger to SCCW, was no stranger to the fans, who remembered his work with DAVE during that company's run. Both men put on quite a bout, with Martin coming within inches of victory twice during the contest. However, Griffith showed everyone that he was the same dirty cheat that he was years ago, managing to lace Martin across the brow with some brass knuckles before pinning the unconscious Martin to advance in the tournament.

However, this would be quite a different contest for both men than they had experienced in the opening round, given the vast style differences from their previous opponents. Flash looked to have things more or less in hand, before Heat decided to take matters into his own hands. After getting knocked from the ring by Flash, Heat reentered with a steel chair in hand, bringing it down hard across the top of Flash's head for the DQ. However, Heat wasn't done, and proceeded to push away officials left and right as he continued to lay into Flash with the chair.

Griffith stayed true to his rule-bending self, at one point nearly gaining a pinfall by using the ropes as leverage. However, his tricks got the better of him, as Johnny Martin stormed down the aisle sporting a fresh bandage on his head when he saw Griffith reach for the brass knuckles while the referee was checking on Marlowe. Martin managed to wrestler the knuckles away from Griffith on the apron and socked him with them, allowing Marlowe to hoist the dazed former champion up with a Jungle Jack Hammer to advance to the finals.

Both duos are quite experienced tag teams, and the added presence of Sawyer proved to be quite meddlesome for Howard and Rayne. Still, the young former MAW stars kept strong, and used their superior brawling skills to keep the Ring Generals off balance. All was for naught, though, as while Waldorf had Rayne indisposed and with the referee trying to regain order, Sawyer was able to smash his martini glass across the forehead of Howard, sending him stumbling back into a Backdrop Backbreaker by Statler to give the young Generals the victory!

We brought Southern Championship Class Wrestling back to life, and we did it the way I wanted. The show was a huge success, and fans had been sending in letters to "the office" (as we have officially dubbed the warehouse we've been operating out of) thanking us for such a great night of wrestling. Things couldn't have gone more smoothly. Still, I couldn't let myself get too caught up in the hype surrounding the show. Sure, we put on a great first event, but it was more or less just the title tournament, minus the tag team match. It wasn't rocket science to get a good card out of our eight biggest stars. Plus, we showed almost nothing but wrestling, which wasn't part of my long term plans. I didn't want to be the southern SWF, but at the same time I definitely wanted some storylines and angles going. I made sure to plant the seeds for some big feuds during the show, but there's no guarantee that those would deliver. I decided to check in with the boss and get some input. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Adrian! So good to hear from you. Congrats on the first show. I caught the tape that Dawn sent me, and I'm quite pleased with how you managed the return event."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"Thank you, Mr. Thomas. It was a good show, but NYCW still blew us away the week before. I'm afraid that with their size advantage and such a similar product they could divide our audience."[/COLOR] It was a true enough statement - NYCW's show the week before ours was fantastic, and the dirt sheets placed us second on the independent rankings for the month. Call me naive, but I still put some faith in those things. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Relax, Adrian. It was the first show. You have to remember that NYCW has been around for twenty years. If anything, they should be worried about you stealing their fans. Plus, the Stomper is on his way out of the business, so who knows how things will go without him at the helm. How'd we do money wise?"[/COLOR] I gulped a bit before answering. [COLOR="Navy"]"I'm afraid I lost a little over three grand of your money, sir."[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas just laughed on the other end of the line.[COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Three thousand dollars? That's nothing in terms of a loss for the first month of a new business. And besides, with the buzz your show got, I can guarantee that your ticket sales will go up for the next one. When is your next show, anyway?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"In three weeks. It looks like we're stuck on Thursdays for the time being."[/COLOR] I wasn't happy about that development. Jungle Jack's schedule with GCG was killing us. I knew it was a gamble putting the belt on him, but I was beginning to have my doubts about the decision. Plus, The Insane Heat was busy on Sunday's with him geriatric tag team in Canada, which pretty much killed the whole weekend for the month. At least Jack's tour should be over at the end of February. [COLOR="Navy"]"That's kind of why I called you, sir. You're much better at marketing than I am, and quite frankly have much more experience in this business than I do. I was wondering if you had any ideas for what to do for the next show. I don't want a sophomore slump, afterall."[/COLOR] Mr. Thomas paused briefly before answering. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"I'd say you have a better idea of where things are going than I do. It looks to be that you've got a few different options for feuds, and I'd see how they pan out. Don't worry about still being in the testing phase. The fans will be more patient than you think."[/COLOR] After the phone call, I felt a bit better. I suppose I just needed some reinforcement. Plus, I had just gotten a tape from a new rookie tag team that looked like they would fit right in. After telling Dawn to contact them, I went ahead and booked the show.

Elijah Harris: [COLOR="Indigo"]"OOOH! Hey there girl!

The Soul Man has never turned down a lady in need."[/COLOR] A broad smile came across Sara Silver's face. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Good.

While their talent is obvious, they still lack polish at this point, and their brawling style saw them fall easy prey to the more technical mindset of their opponents, despite the lack of chemistry between Sanders and Technique. Sanders continued his good form in this one, though, and secured the submission victory over Mitchel with a figure four leg lock.

Still, the Soul Man fought bravely, and managed a near victory following a big running powerslam. However, the Soul Man clearly wanted to get his hands on Silver as much as he did Turner, and the manager's distraction allowed Turner to get the pinfall victory with a roll up.

With the possible matchup against Griffith looming on the horizon, there may have been some fear of Martin taking the youngster lightly. Those were soon allayed after Martin was able to fend off a hard rush to open the match by Lead Belly, and kept the advantage through most of the rest of the match.

He pulled no punches in his assault on Poison in the opening minutes of the contest, and referee Bret Graveson had to threaten a disqualification in order to reign the MAW star in. Poison was able to answer back and swing the momentum back in his favor, showing why he is one of Canada's brightest rising stars. However, Cattley's mean streak ended things after hitting Poison with a steel chair while Graveson was momentarily incapacitated, allowing the pinfall.

Griffith was up to his usual tricks, taking advantage of the no-DQ environment by pummeling Flash around the ringside area, hitting him with a number of brutal chair shots to the back. Still, Flash was able to swing the tide in his favor in the mid minutes of the match, using his superior all around game to take the offensive. Indeed, after a Flash Bang knocked Griffith unconscious, it looked to be that Flash had the match won. However, as Flash slowly began to ascend up the turnbuckles to fetch the contract, he was rushed from out of nowhere by the Insane Heat, who sent Flash tumbling to the floor! Heat followed Flash to the outside, where he laid on a brutal beating, during which Griffith regained his bearings and grabbed the contract from the pole, making Griffith the number one contender!

We both were feeling pretty good about how it all went down. Even without a tournament bringing people in, our ticket sales were up and we still put on a great show. [COLOR="Navy"]"Alright Dawn, I need an outside perspective here. What are we doing right so far?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Okay! Umm... people seem to like the Martin and Griffith storyline that we've been running, and they definitely like how things are going with Flash and Heat. And for some unknown reason Rick Sanders seems to be able to do no wrong - even with his tag match with Warren Technique not going how we would have liked his momentum still seems to be going through the roof."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]"Fair enough. Now for the tough one - what do we need to work on as we go forward?"[/COLOR] Dawn paused a bit before she answered. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Well, honestly, people don't really seem to care too much about our midcarders, and the tag team division in particular seems to be going less than stellar, although it's working out well for Sawyer. I wouldn't count on him sticking around too long, though. I've heard people talking in the locker room that SWF might be interested in him."[/COLOR] This was news I did not want to hear. I had planned on making Sawyer one of the focal points of the promotion somewhere down the line, possibly putting a stable around him like Sneer had back when he was working as a manager in SCCW in its first run. [COLOR="Navy"]"I can live with that. Any ideas on what we could do to make things a little more interesting as far as the midcard goes?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Well we definately have the talent. The problem is that no one seems to know who they are. We need to get the younger guys established. Maybe sign some enhancement talents for the time being, to build the young guys up a bit before we try putting them in feuds?"[/COLOR] The idea had some merit, I had to admit. And bringing in some enhancement talents would also help weed out the weaker guys. The roster was fairly good, but there were definitely some guys that I would like to see step it up a notch or two. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Mr. Rosenberg? There was something else that I wanted to mention to you. A potential signing that you might be interested in.

How did I not notice this earlier? Good work here mate, you got a reader in me as always. :D

[hrdcoresidebrns]

[I]OOC: Trekkie, I'm glad to see that you're on board here. Hopefully this won't take valuable time away from you updating your own dynasty and entertaining me. :cool: On a side note, I'm toying with the idea of doing another (unrelated) dynasty, but this one has been going quite well so far, and there seems to be smatterings of people that are enjoying reading it, so it's quite a debate at the moment. I was thinking about doing them both concurrently, but I'm no James Casey, and my output on this particular one has been what one would call "steady", so any thoughts would be appreciated.[/I] [CENTER][SIZE="6"][B]A Slight Speed Bump[/B][/SIZE][/CENTER] I sipped my soda as I looked over the numbers from the night before, my brow furrowing at what lay on the papers before me. We had been on a big roll up until now, but Kings of the South hadn't delivered quite as well as our past two shows. The feuds were fleshing out interestingly enough, but I got the feeling that they might be losing steam, particularly the program between Martin and Griffith. Attendance was down as well, which I also wasn't very happy about. Still, it was only our third show, and I couldn't expect to continue at the pace we had been working at forever. I was starting to seriously heed Dawn's advice of developing the undercard, but there was another problem. The roster was already getting bloated, and her idea for enhancement talents to help develop talent would have to wait, at least for the time being. Plus there was the added competition from NYCW, who have been on a tear recently, pumping out great show after great show. I had tried to get a program working with them, toying with the idea of an NYCW invasion of SCCW, but the Stomper wouldn't give me the time of day. Still, I had an idea to try and turn things around. Our next show was scheduled for the third week in April, and while we were back on Thursdays after GCG pried Marlowe away from us again, I had a card planned that I knew would draw people in. It would be a sort of "supercard", which I knew would bring in the gates. [CENTER][SIZE="5"][U]SCCW Presents Best in the South East![/U][/SIZE] [I]Live, Thursday, April 18th!

The two men fought quite well, with neither one really gaining an advantage over the other.
