SWF: Generation Supreme

[Bigpapa42]

[QUOTE=ampulator;636916]If it's Ash Campbell, his performance stats better have improved. The fans aren't going to accept someone with Low Performance stats. I think Gino's almost give at some point, even if you end this diary before you he gets it. :p Personally, I have no problem with Lightweight Champions, though most of the lightweights I like are REALLY skirting on the edge of Lightweight (around 220 to 229 pounds), like Lance Storm.[/QUOTE] Young Campbell has improved, but not enough yet. Not not nearly enough. But down the road, who know? I find him one of the more intriguing second generation workers, because he's not amazing at the start but he starts with pretty good Entertainment skills. Plus the history between his father and the SWF makes things interesting.... I want to push Ash hard, just because he seems to be as disliked by some readers as Texas Pete... But its unlikely he's going to be a world champion for me. Montero, on the other hand, definitely has that potential. I'm not against smaller world champions, but it depends on the situation and just how small. I think guys under 220 pounds is a bit of an issue, and under 200 pounds is a signficant issue, if they are competing against heavyweights. The size difference can be ignored, I guess, but that's not an approach I like to take. Its not logical to me - if a 200 pound guy is not at a size disadvantage in a match against a 300 pound guy, how can a 350 pound worker be logically presented to the fans as having a size advantage over a 250 pound opponent? Size matters, in my mind. It can be overcome, but I don't think you can ignore it completely. With a small world champion, I think the size difference between the champoin and his opponents would become a central storyline in the title reign. Which might not be a bad thing, but it is if you don't intend it to be. Whereas with a bigger lightweight or a middleweight, the size doesn't have to be an issue (again, it can be if that's an angle you want to use, though). Part of it is how I look at it is how I think the SWF fans would perceive given workers. If Montero was a fairly small lightweight, I don't know that fans would see him as anything more than an unmasked luchadore. Even if he doesn't have that style. But if he's bigger - not necessarily as big as Marquez, but a bit bigger - I think it allows the fans to accept him as more than just a prototypical luchadore worker. Gino's father, Luis Montero, is listed in TEW 2004 as about 6' and 222 pounds, so I could realistically see Gino being about that size or even a bit bigger.

Just want to throw out there that the following post is an idea stolen from Marcel Fromage. PhantomStranger made a suggestion of having some reader polls, but the idea of how to do it comes from MF. So thanks guys!

RC Dodger[/B][/CENTER] [B][CENTER]Wednesday, Week 3, September 2008[/CENTER] [/B][quote] Ever since the brand split, the third commentator chair on Supreme TV has been constantly rotated. Every week, it seems like someone else is in the booth with Peter Michaels and that bastion of all things SWF, Jerry Eisen. There have been recent rumors circulating through the promotion that the seat could be filled on a permanent basis. It has proven almost impossible thus far to get any idea of who that choice might be. The only information that SWF.com could obtain was that it would not be someone currently on the Legends brand on a permanent basis. Which leaves out Phil Vibert, Melanie Florence, and even agent Emma Chase. There are still plenty of options, however. As a fun interactive activity, SWF.com has decided to post a poll to see who the fan's choice for the new permanent color commentator SWF Supreme TV will be. Results will be posted in a few days.

News, rumors, and interviews, all brought to you by the incomparable Duane Fry.[/I] [B]Preview for podcast available Wednesday, Week 3, September 2008[/B] "This week should be an interesting one on the Legends brand, folks. You don't want to miss this one." "Phil Vibert stated recently that he had evidence as to who was behind the change that saw Skull DeBones devolve into Vengeance. And I have heard from my broadcaster partner that he is set to reveal that information this week. This is information that could shake the Supreme Wrestling Federation to its very foundations." "Sara Silver will also be on the show, to address the question that everyone is asking - whether Greg Keith and Matthew Keith are the "Silverbacks" she has spoken so much of. The 19-year old twin brothers are, of course, the off-spring of four-time SWF World Heavyweight champion Sam Keith and are seen as one of the most promising tag teams in the world of wrestling. Has Ms. Silver brought them to the Supreme Wrestling Federation? Tune in to find out." "There will be some great wrestling actions this week, as SWF Legends is fast becoming known for. One you don't want to miss is what is being dubbed a "Danger and Violence Extreme Grudge Match", with Chris Caufield facing off against JD Morgan." "After recently rumblings that manager RC Dodger has been unhappy about the recent role of his tag team Death Row of late, its not surprising to see them in action. I guess you can't accuse Eric Tyler of lacking a sense of humor, as he has put Shady K and Knuckles against the high flying duo High Concept this week. The funny part is that the SWF Sky Club Division Tag Team championships will be on the line. Can you imagine if the brawling Death Row duo win them?" "Speaking of Eric Tyler, a recent Mr. Tyler Says communication released on SWF.com this week indicates that the Legends brand General Manager is "extremely disappointing" at Phil Vibert's apparent role in bringing Sean McFly back to the Supreme Wrestling Federation. Not certain what his logic is there, but Mr. Tyler is usually pretty opinionated. And not always logical. On the same communication, the GM indicated that he had a big surprise this week for the SWF and Supreme championship Christian Faith. Faith will be putting his belt on the line against an unknown opponent this week, someone that Tyler says will be returning to the Supreme Wrestling Federation and will be a bigger deal than Sean McFly. Your guess is as good as mine, folks." "Also, don't forget to make your voice heard, fans, and vote for who you would like to see as the third commentator on SWF Supreme TV." "Don't miss out!

Thanks for the strong response so far on the voting. I wasn't sure the idea would go over to use it out of the blue, but quite a few responses. A bit surprising on who's in the lead, but that will all be revealed later. If anyone feels the need to explain why they feel a certain choice should be the one, feel free to justify and explain it. Here in the diary or you can PM me. As well, I've been meaning to point out for awhile that the brand splits are "soft". Which basically means guys can cross over and change brands with GM approval. There is some movement upcoming, but I am always open to suggestion. Most guys are on a certain brand for a reason, but if you think a worker would do better on another brand, I'm willing to listen. Again, explain it here or PM me.

He is greeted by a strong positive crowd reaction. Vibert fairly much ignores it as he climbs into the ring and stomps around for a few moments before he begins to speak. Vibert doesn't ease into it, but rather launches into a tirade about power. About how power corrupts. Whether its absolute or not, power corrupts an individual. It changes them. It takes a strong person to even attempt to resist that, and it usually doesn't work. Vibert says that what truly bothers him is when someone passes their own corruption on to others, whether willfully or not. Passing your darkened heart on to another is simply unforgivable. The "Creative Consultant" for the Legends brand explains that he has been pursuing information about Skull DeBones, in addition to the efforts he put in to signing . After the "proof" that he received recently, there are no doubts remain as to who is behind it the whole problem with Vengeance...[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Staff/Small%20Alt/EricTyleralt4Small.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Small/Signed%20Alt/BryanHolmesalt1Small.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Small/Signed%20Alt/JDMorganalt1Small.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/Workers/SWF/Small/Signed/AcidSmall.jpg[/IMG] [B]Eric Tyler, Bryan Holmes, JD Morgan + Acid[/B][/CENTER] [I]Just as it seems Vibert is about to reveal who was behind DeBones' change into Vengeance, he is interrupted by the appearance of brand General Manager Eric Tyler through the Supreme Gate. Tyler is accompanied by all three of his Watchmen - Acid, JD Morgan, and Bryan Holmes. Vibert waits for them to make their way down the ramp and into the ring. In the ring, Tyler approaches Vibert. The three enforcers don't directly intimidate the commentator, but they are in the ring. Tyler has a microphone of his own. He tells his former friend that he shouldn't be wasting everyone's time with all this. That it doesn't matter. No one cares. Its time to look to the future, not the past. Mr. Eisen made it clear to everyone in management that the matter should be dropped. And given how upset Mr. Eisen was over Vibert arranging Sean McFly's return... Vibert interrupts to say that its quite ironic that its The Genius Mr. Eisen who wants the matter dropped... As it was the same Richard Eisen who was directly responsible for Skull DeBones changing into Vengeance. There is a stunned silence from the crowd at the announcement. There is a shocked look on Eric Tyler's face. He takes a moment to recover, and tries to cover it with a laugh. The GM tells Vibert that he shouldn't joke about such things. Vibert assures Tyler that it is no joke. Tyler responds by saying that such accusations should not be made lightly. Or publicly. They could be considered libelous, and result in termination. Vibert just laughs now, saying that if Richard Eisen had the power to fire him, he would already be gone. But that the evidence will be brought to light. Tyler seems incensed. He tells Vibert that there will be fallout from this, worse than what Vibert was facing for bringing Sean McFly back to the SWF. Vibert responds by saying he certainly hopes that there are repercussions. The two men glare at each other in the ring for a moment, before Tyler leads his Watchmen out of the ring.

The match features a bit of comedy, as the much smaller High Concept duo get their big opponents chasing their tails a bit. Bling and Benson use their quickness and high-flying to attack Death Row from every angle, and its an approach that works. Benson manages to score the pinfall on Shady K with a quick roll up, successfully defending the Sky Club Division Tag Belts against what is likely to be their biggest opposition.

Though still not officially a manager, the pretty blond does the talking for The Bulldog. Dani tells Ana and the fans that after moths of being under appreciated and underused on the Supreme brand, Reed has had enough. That at his request, Dani talked to Richard Eisen about it. More than once. But the owner of the promotion was simply not interested. He just didn't care. She then explains that she tried talking to the General Manager of the Legends brand, Eric Tyler. He not only didn't care, but seemed to take active joy in pointing out that he didn't care. There was one person who did care. Phil Vibert. He listened to what Dani had to say, and thankfully he also had the power to switch workers between the brand rosters. So as of tonight, Art Reed was part of the Legends brand. And Dani was going to moving with him, officially now his manager.

The agent's ever-present security guard Mr. Jackson is standing in the background. To start the interview, Ana gets directly to the point and acts whether the Keith twins are the Silverbacks that Ms. Silver has talked about a number of times. Sara laughs, saying that as much as holds those two boys close to her heart, they are nowhere near ready to be her Silverbacks. Because as talented as they are, they are still just young men. Her Silverback's are grown men who are experienced in the business. Ana then asks if the Keith twins are joining the Supreme Wrestling Federation and whether Silver will represent them. Again, Silver laughs. She tells the interviewer that that is something that would have to be discussed with the young men themselves. When promoted about her relationship with the Keith's, Silver explains that their father Sam Keith is an old friend. That Sara represented Sam in some past negotiations, so because of that relationship, he had asked her to look after his sons when they were at the Under Control 2008 show. Before Ana can ask her next question, they are interrupted.

Mr. Jackson moves to interject himself, but Silver waves him away. Emma is confrontational and angry, She says that there is only super agent in the Supreme Wrestling Federation and that's her. She's tried of hearing Silver talk but do nothing. Tired of hearing about these phantom “Silverback's” that don't even exist. Silver laughs in response, telling her apparent rival that jealousy is a stinky perfume. She assures Chase that the Silverbacks do exist. That they will be debut when the time is right. Chase challenges Silver to debut them now. With a shrug, Silver says that they aren't in house, but she can certainly arrange something for next week. There is a moment of silence before Chase states that she will wait with bated breath. She then stalks off, followed by Brandon James. Both Silver and Ana Garcia look bemused.

With Bryan Holmes at ringside, everyone expects something to happen. It eventually does, with Holmes providing a distraction outside the ring and allowing Morgan to grab the advantage. The fans don't seem to particularly like the end sequence, where Holmes gets up onto the ring apron to interfere while Morgan distracts the referee, but Caufield ducks under the attack and drags Holmes into the ring. Holmes goes after his DaVE rival Caufield in the ring, and the ref can't miss seeing that. As soon as Holmes lands a punch, referee Ric Young calls for the disqualification.

To his credit, El Leon does his best to battle through, but talent or not, he's overmatched and moreso outnumbered in this one.

Golden takes the camera on a short tour of the locker room that was assigned to all four of them. Its clear that The Golden Boy is not impressed as he shows off such amenities as the bathroom stall with no door and a shower that has no hot water. Golden states that he feels the assignment of such lacking accommodations shows a clear lack of respect that the management of the Legends brand has for not only him, but for all the members of his stable. Golden feels that he and his comrades have earned the respect of management, the other wrestlers, and even the fans. But if they aren't willing to show the respect that has been earned, then the Faction will force them to. And that starts tonight. After letting that promise sink in, Golden then says that the explulsion of Troy Tornado from the Golden Faction was proof that there are few in the Supreme Wrestling Federation as a whole, let alone on the Legends brand, worthy of being part of The Faction.

Laramee is quickly coming up short and his frustration shows through. Everything that Laramee attempts is countered and then bettered by the former world champion. Frehley looks determined and looks to end things early. Laramee kicks out, and decides to take a breather outside the ring to discuss things with his manager RC Dodger. Laramee repeats this, and when Frehley goes outside the ring to try to bring his opponent back in, Laramee ends up throwing Frehley into a ringpost. It slows The Dark Destroyer a bit, but back in the ring, he soon powers back and frustrates Laramee yet again. The frustration from the King of the Streets soon boils over, when he calls for Dodger to grab him a chair. The manager hesitates for a moment, then slides it into the ring. Though the ref isn't quickly enough to stop it, he clearly sees Laramee wallop Frehley with a chair. The bells signals the immediate disqualification. Laramee doesn't argue, but gets out of the ring. Its a good idea is up quickly from the chair shot and he is incensed. [B][CENTER]Steve Frehley Wins at 11:52 via Disqualification Grade: B[/CENTER] [/B][/quote][B]Duane Fry[/B]: Angering Frehley...

Emma is in the midst of explaining why the title chance that Brandon was given at Under Control 2008 was clearly not fair, as it was a Threefold Threat match. Tyler says that he can't disagree with that, but the fact is that Brandon did have an opportunity to take the Supreme Championship from Christian Faith. And he didn't do it. Emma lowers her voice, sounding conspiratorial. She tells Tyler that everyone knows that he and Richard Eisen are doing everything they can to get that Supreme belt away from Faith. Something which should be easy but obviously is proving not to be. If they want that to happen, then the best thing that Tyler and Eisen can do is put their faith in Brandon. Because he will get it done if given the chance. And Tyler knows Brandon from their time together in DaVE. So he knows that Brandon is reliable and loyal. The kind of champion that SWF management can be proud of and rely on. What more can Tyler ask for? Tyler listens to Chase, nodding attentively. When she is done, he says that he can't and wont' disagree with her on all of that. But it doesn't change the fact that Tyler has more things to consider. That he has an entire roster that he has to consider and keep in mind. So while Tyler might favor giving James a one-on-one title shot against Christian Faith at Let the Games Begin 2008, he can't do so without giving some serious consideration to the other possible contenders. Tyler states that he would be failing to do his job as General Manager if he didn't make this kind of decision carefully.

There is obvious disappointment when Tana rumbles down to the ring. The crowd boos – not Tana himself so much as the promise from Eric Tyler. Faith comes out to a massive reception. The match turns out to be surprisingly watchable, with Faith starting out to by attacking the 425-pound Samoan. Tana batters him away, and ends up landing a painful-looking splash that looks to have injured Faith's ribs. The champion keeps battling, and starts to wear the giant down. The lack of stamina proves to be Tana's undoing, as he he just can't keep going after Faith for an extended period. Its clear that Faith is about to beat the big man and successfully defend his SWF Supreme Champion again... but Rocky Golden and the rest of the Golden Faction make their way down to ring. There is no hesitation or delay from Golden, Bloodstone, and Texas Pete get directly into the ring and go after Faith. Darren Smith calls for the bell to end the match, then calls for help as Faith is attacked.

[Bigpapa42]

A couple of thoughts... -a B+ match out of Tana? Really? That might be the most impressive thing Christian Faith has done thus far in my game. I was really quite concerned about that main event and fully expecting a B or B- match, which would've likely made for a B show grade. I was okay with that. Was actually going to make the match a threeway, or possibly have another match as the main event. Given the afters, it made the most sense there, though. -you can consider the completely undeserved title shot as a last hurrah for Tana in the SWF. Its going to be the last time you see him on TV and he'll soon be "future endevor'd". I liked the idea of having Tana come back out of nowhere and Tyler making it seem like a bit of a big deal, as it paints the GM as deceitful in the way he tried to swerve the fans... -I also realize the title scene on Legends is kind of messy. Its not a linear storyline feud of champion and challenger. That is entirely intentional. I like the idea of a rotating group of contenders all chasing the champion, rather than individual feuds. Its one of the many little things I'm slowly trying to put across to differentiate the brands. -this approach to the shows is definitely faster. I realize some of the match reports are now pretty sparse, but the idea is just to get the point across of what happened. Some of the less important angles might be getting more of the same treatment. Again, the idea is just to make things quicker to put together.

He has been the catalyst for many of the biggest changes in Supreme history. He is the man who signed many of the greatest Supreme Legends™. The man who made The Supreme Challenge the great show on Earth. The man who created Sports Entertainment. Who would have guessed that Richard Eisen would also be the man behind one of the most dastardly acts in recent Supreme history? In late 2007, popular Supreme Legend™ Skull DeBones underwent a strange metamorphosis. After attacking Christian Faith with a chain, he declared that he would forthright be known as Vengeance. He then focused on obtaining the SWF World Heavyweight championship from Jack Bruce with frightening intensity. When that failed and Vengeance became part of the Legends brand, his focus switched to Christian Faith and his newly-won SWF Supreme Championship. While many felt that there had to be something that caused - or forced - the massive personality switch in DeBones, it was Phil Vibert who pursued the question. Having been the one to help make DeBones a star when he was with Danger and Violence Extreme, it was also Vibert who finally made the decision to put him on administrative suspension for his violent backstage antics. Last night on SWF Legends, Vibert announced that Richard Eisen was behind the change from DeBones to Vengeance, and that he has proof. SWF.com has obtained that proof, and will have it posted within hours. The proof is an audio exert from a phone conversation between Richard Eisen and Dr. Frank Pierce. The renowned Dr. Pierce is an expert in clinical suggestive hypnosis, which the SWF's own medical staff could be what caused the radical personality change in DeBones. The exert obtained features Dr. Pierce assuring Eisen that the process as provided will meet his needs, but to be wary of potential large-scale side-effects and possible permanent damage. Eisen dismisses such concerns outright. While the portion of the conversation obtained by SWF.com is not the most d*mning evidence imaginable, Phil Vibert insists there is more. That earlier in the conversation, Eisen makes direct reference to DeBones. Is the owner of the Supreme Wrestling Federation likely to face disciplinary action if he indeed was behind the metamorphasis of Vengeance? No. But it would certainly damage his reputation, and be more proof of just how power-hungry and controlling the man is. The audio clip will be available in multiple formats for download or stream by 12pm ET.

Just got to Supreme Challenge 28, and also keeping up with the new entries... which means everything will be ruined when I get to the beginning of the storylines that are just ending. But hey... :p Loving this so far, really great dynasty. You've even got me worked up over Rocky Golden, traditionally one of my most 'X-Pac' characters... never liked or hated him before, just wished he'd go away. Not this time though.

The readers seemed to enjoy it, too, which is always great to see. Good to hear about Rocky Golden. Gonna go out on a limb and guess he's hated? That's the intent, at least. A talker and a complainer who doesn't actually accomplish much. Some fun stuff coming up with him.

Sadly, that includes lying. At what point do you admit to yourself that you've just become another soulless sycophantic piece of the machine? That you've gone ahead and done what you said you would never do - sell out, buy in, become part of the system... Is it worse to realize that fact, or to realize that you really don't care that it's happened...? Jetting around the nation was getting exhausting. A late night after Supreme TV and a few hours of sleep had been followed by an early morning flight. I found a greasy lunch and spent the afternoon at Virginia Park Fields, trying to get everything ready for the show that night. We had the script all but ready to go, save for some tweaks here and there. Even as professional as the TV crews for Supreme are, there are always some little issues to deal with, and that ate up the afternoon. I would like to say I enjoyed the show itself, but I saw almost none of it. I was trapped in the tiny little office by an endless chain of talent coming in to talk to me. They wanted to discuss anything and everything - their pushes, storylines, characters, possible changes and turns... basically anything they had on their minds. At most shows - whether TV or not - I ended up being approached by a couple roster members who want to discuss. For some reason, every month or so, there ends up being a night where I do nothing else. I have no idea what inspires half the roster to try to talk to me on the same night, but it does make me curious. Although talking to the talent has never been a problem for me, I don't enjoy the long line of people waiting. I believe it really just comes down to how much double-talking I have to do. Its one thing to talk to one or two workers and tell them what they want to hear. Its another entirely to do so to to twenty people. I end of feeling like a grimy, sleezy politician. Its not like I'm telling them outright constant lies. Just half-truths. Because its easier to nod and tell someone that you will certainly consider their idea when you know its a horribly conceived abortion of a overhead light bulb, because the truth is usually awkward in that situation. I don't feel nearly as bad doing that once or twice. Doing it a dozen times in a row and I start to feel a bit bad about it. Its not that every idea I have thrown at me by the workers is bad. Many are at least decent. The problem is that no one outside the booking committee members know where everything is going in booking terms. Hell, there's some stuff I'm never even giving them, for fear of another information leak. So a lot of the ideas that I hear from the talent simply contradict what plans are already in motion. I managed to get out of that tiny little office shortly before the show ended, cutting short a meeting with the Biggz Boys. I made it to the Crippler Position just as the main event ended. The post-match attack took awhile. As I watched that, Tana rumbled through. Four hundred plus pounds of jolly Samoan stopped and said a few kind words. I couldn't say much in response. I knew that this was probably going to be the last time he would be on TV for the Supreme Wrestling Federation and my hypocrisy only goes so far. The Golden Faction foursome came out next. Pete and Golden were making plans for after the show - I had no doubt those plans would consistent of indulging in some libations, and probably at a strip club. Johnny Bloodstone would head back to his hotel room, probably to read. Ms. Pearce flashed me a cute smile as she passed, but I returned it in the least flirtatious manner possible - that ship had sailed. It took awhile for the SWF Supreme Champion and his cohorts to appear through the Supreme Gate to the Crippler Position. The trio spent a while playing to the departing fans, who loves them for such things. Faith was laughing with Caufield and Tornado as they walked through, and his face lit up when he saw me. "Kid!" he greeted me enthusiastically. "Hey champ," I nodded. "The big guy treat you okay out there?" The veteran poked as his ribs and grunted. "Think he gave me a bruise or two, but he treated me good other than that," he told me. "Just wanna make sure you're holding up." Faith had told me that concerns over having to work longer matches every night was one of his main concerns about getting the Supreme belt. He was still in great shape for a 42-year old, but if he kept pushing his body, he was concerned he might begin to break down. The champ laughed. "I'm surviving, Avatar. Same as always." "So you're still regretting the decision to take the belt, then?" He laughed again. After all the convincing Phil and I had to do to get Faith to accept winning the belt at The Supreme Challenge, he loved it. He had admitted to me that he felt more energized now than he had in years. He loved the way his run was being booked, with everyone trying to take him down. It was not what he has expected at all, and that was a good thing. "I know you like hearing this, so I'll say it again... you were right, kid. You were right." "It takes a strong man to admit he was wrong... or an old one," I offered. "Now look, about that belt..." I took Faith out of earshot of anyone around us and threw an idea past him. He nodded throughout my short explanation, clearly liking it. It was something I had been tossing about for a bit now. I could tell by the champ's expression and reaction that he was digging the idea. When I finished, I got a hard clap on the shoulder from the big man. "That's why you're going to be running this company in five years, kid," he told me with a grin. I didn't know what to say to that. We caught up with Tornado and Caufield as they headed back to the locker room area. I turned offers to go out for some food with them, then several more offers as I made my way through the area. Nice to see that I was still popular with the talent, even after the recent cuts. I regretfully declined each offer - there was a soft bed at the hotel waiting for me and I wanted nothing more than to crawl into its sweet cotton embrace. I had another flight in the morning and I was not looking forward to it. I was heading back to Rhode Island. Friday night I had to be at the Supreme Arena for the taping of Generation Supreme. I would probably tell more semi-lies to more talent that night. I couldn't wait. And I couldn't honestly feel guilty about it. Thursday Week 3 September 2008 Avatar[/quote] [/FONT]

It's a B+ out of Giant Tana. You really going to cut him? He's half-decent in the ring. And if he could do THAT, even with Faith, it was a good match. :)

And if he could do THAT, even with Faith, it was a good match. :)[/QUOTE] He's not gone yet. But I simply don't have any real use for him. Which isn't to say he's useless - far from it. He's decent talented, has solid Entertainment, and not bad Menace. But he doesn't stand out in any real way. Well, beyond being huge, of course. Nothing is likely to happen with the Samoan stable at this point. I could use him as a bodyguard, though his Menace is a touch low (B) for that and I don't know who. I could turn him face and have him be a fun babyface like he was in TCW. I could even just keep him floating about the midcard to job to some upper level talent like Hall, Tornado, and so on. And the simple truth is that keeping talent around because they have some possible uses, rather than an actual intended use, is what got me into the whole monstrous roster problem in the first place. I dumped Tana to RIPW for about two months game-time, if not longer. No once during that time did I come up with a decent idea for him or feel he would add something to the roster. Yeah, a B+ match with Faith is decent... but Texas Pete managed the same thing. And if Pete didn't have his role in The Golden Faction, I wouldn't find tons of use for him either. Some unless I am struck by a booking epiphany involving Tana or someone throws out an awesome idea, I think he's gone soon enough.

So I'm not sure its really something I will bother with. Going to put some thought into it.

[QUOTE=ampulator;638859]You are right, Bigpap42... and Faith does have soe of the highest performance skills, is a Ring General, AND has high popularity.[/QUOTE] He's one of my most popular workers, obviously. Maybe not quite at Rich Money levels, who is at 100% popularity in something like four regions around the globe. Pretty sure that Faith is at or very close to 100% in the US and Canada, at least. Plus he has great momentum right now - A*. I can probably shove almost anyone in the ring with him and get at least a B- match, if not a B. Simply put, that's why he's my champion on the Legends brand. Also, thanks for all the votes on the Supreme brand commentator, folks. Much better response than I really expected. Should see the results up before long.

I'm guessing not, but stranger things have happened." "A question that many fans are asking is when will Sean McFly's first return match in the SWF be? We know that "The American Tiger" is expected to face Rich Money at Let the Games Begin, but everyone expects him to climb into the Supreme Wrestling Federation ring before then. It is not scheduled to be this week... though stranger things have happened." "It looks like the new SWF North American champion has a point to prove.

Well, Marquez is still feuding with former North American champion Marc DuBois over the belt and Chord is part of DuBois' "Remember Tomorrow" stable... you do the match. I've heard that, assuming he wins this week, Marquez wants to face Steven Parker next week. The Diablo superstar does not lack in confidence, apparently." "The main event this week should be a great one - SWF World Heavyweight champion Rich Money and his constant companion Remo will face former SWF World Tag Team championship Valiant & Giedroyc.
