[CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/NEWF.jpg[/IMG] [B]New England Wrestling Federation[/B][/CENTER] The story so far… The New England Wrestling Federation is a relatively new promotion just starting out, with an anonymous benefactor handing the reins to a young booker named Will Brooks, handing the business end to a man with great experience in these matters, Gabe Sapolsky, with the task of building this small company into a major force in the North American wrestling scene. This allows Sapolsky to focus all his booking attention on his other endeavours, while getting him to lend his sound business mind to NEWF affairs. As the story begins in Week 2 of November 2008, NEWF have just put on their first major event, appropriately entitled A New Dawn (hooray for clichés), and put on a weekly event in venues around the New England area, titled NEWF Riot. They have also managed to get a small TV deal, bringing Riot to screens in the Tri State area beginning in December, although with the network keeping 100% of ad revenue and paying 0% of production costs, it remains to be seen if this deal will be beneficial to NEWF. NEWF currently has three championships: [B]NEWF Champion:[/B] Jerry Lynn [B]NEWF Regional Champion:[/B] Nigel McGuinness [B]NEWF Tag Team Champions:[/B] Vacant Quick results from A New Dawn: Amazing Red def.

OOC: This is my first diary, so any comments, critiques, suggestions, etc. are very very welcome. I have one show written already with one in the works, the first one should be posted later today. The first couple of shows will be written from the History screen, as I'm a couple of weeks ahead in my game before I decided to make it into a Diary, but after that it will be written in real time.

[CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/NEWF.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]NEWF Riot – Week 2, November 2008 [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/GabeSapolsky.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The show opens with some familiar music, as NEWF Owner Gabe Sapolsky makes his way down to the ring, mic in hand. “As you all saw last Sunday at A New Dawn, we had a new Champion crowned in the Six Man Scramble match. There were six awesome competitors in that ring, but in the end, the man who was able to get the victory was your new NEWF Champion, Jerry Lynn.” Sapolsky pauses for the slight pop that follows Lynn’s name. “But now, after the success of that event, I am pleased to announce our next big event will take place on Sunday 11th January, and will be called Take What You Can Get. And with the new event, we are going to be needing a challenger for our new champion. “So tonight, we will see a Number One Contender decided in this very ring. In one corner will be a man who never had the chance to compete in that Six Man Scramble, some may know him as Gavin, but here in NEWF, we prefer to call him by his chosen name, Shawn Spears! His opponent will be the last man to pin Jerry Lynn before he became champion, and Virginia’s proudest son, Joey Matthews!” ([B]Rating:[/B] E+) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JonnyStorm.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/TedDiBiaseSrSmall.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/AirParis.jpg[/IMG] [B]Match Number 1:[/B] Jonny Storm (w/ Ted DiBiase Sr.) vs Air Paris[/CENTER] These two have great chemistry in the ring, though you wouldn’t know it from the rating. Jonny Storm, representing his tag team Priceless with Jason Cross, takes the smaller Paris to school, despite some brief hope spots from Paris. In the end, however, The Wonderkid hits the Rewind Stormin’ Steiner, and the pinfall is academic.

He shows his excellent charisma during the match, playing to the crowd while keeping on top of his opponent. He hits the Phoenix Splash for the win.

Cross gets the clean pinfall over the Prince of Parkland to many people’s surprise with the Crossfire, making it 2 for 2 for Priceless tonight. [B]Winner:[/B] Jason Cross ([B]Rating:[/B] D) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/MattCross.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] From one Cross to another, as Matt Cross’ music hits, and he walks to the ring, looking none too happy. “Let me make one thing perfectly clear. Sunday night at A New Dawn, a gross injustice took place, as Nigel McGuinness stole an unfair victory over me to become the first NEWF National Champion. As you all know, he applied his London Dungeon hold to my left arm, which he knew full well I had tweaked earlier in the week I might add, and forced me to tap out. “The injustice is that I had no choice but to tap, because if I had not submitted to the hold, Nigel McGuinness would have snapped my arm. Newsflash, Nigel. This is wrestling. This is not some back alley street fight, it’s not a barbaric Mixed Martial Arts fight, this is wrestling, and wrestling is about discipline. In wrestling, you do enough to your opponent to win the match. You attempt to incapacitate your opponent enough to force his shoulders to the mat until the referee counts to three, or you weaken a body part enough so that you can get a submission by applying a hold. “You do not try to permanently disfigure your opponent, thus preventing him from competing in the near future. You do not threaten to snap his arm unless he taps out, and you do not utilise dangerous submission holds to win a championship. Most wrestlers know this, Nigel. It’s an unwritten law. You crossed the line Sunday night when you applied that submission. I could feel my arm about to snap. I had to tap out. I had to tap out, so that I could continue to compete. And my first order of business in continuing to compete is to challenge you to a rematch for your NEWF National Championship, so I can beat you fairly, and within the rules, to show everybody that you are nothing but a ruthless, medieval, sadistic and vile human being.” ([B]Rating:[/B] D) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/MattStryker.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/EddieEdwards.jpg[/IMG] [B]Match Number 4:[/B] Matt Stryker vs Eddie Edwards[/CENTER] Two excellent young stars who definitely have a bright future here in NEWF, doing what they do best. Edwards comes out on top on this night, finishing off his opponent with a C-4.

Two matches, two wins for Jonny and Jason. Jason beat down that poor little punk Air Paris, he never had a chance against an athlete the calibre of The Wonderkid. That match was a formality, the result was never in doubt. “You all thought Jason had no chance against a man like Jack Evans, but we proved you wrong. Jason did not just defeat Evans, he dominated him, decimated him, beat him so badly that I’d put money on the fact that you’re never going to see him in a NEWF ring again! “And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why these two men, and anybody else who chooses to align themselves with us, are absolutely, totally, Priceless!” ([B]Rating:[/B] D)[B] [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/Rainman.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/Nigel_McGuinness5.jpg[/IMG] Match Number 5:[/B] Kory Chavis vs NEWF National Champion Nigel McGuinness (Non-Title)[/CENTER] A pretty equal match, McGuinness seemed to have slightly underestimated Chavis, but once McGuinness hits his stride, his awesome technical skill comes into play, and Chavis has no chance. McGuinness hits the Tower of London, and gets the 1, 2, 3. [B]Winner:[/B] Nigel McGuinness ([B]Rating:[/B] D+) McGuinness takes the mic after the match. “So Matt, you want a rematch, you think I cheated to win this championship? Let me tell you something, I am not the kind of guy who’s going to back down from a challenge, and I’ll show you that it doesn’t matter how much whining you do, I am the best damn technical wrestler in the world, and I don’t mind proving it. There’s an old saying, be careful what you wish for, sunshine. You just might get it. You’re on.” ([B]Rating:[/B] D+) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/FrankieKazarian.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/Low-Ki.jpg[/IMG] [B]Match Number 6:[/B] Frankie Kazarian vs Low-Ki[/CENTER] Excellent match, each man looking to catapult himself closer to a shot at Jerry Lynn’s NEWF Championship. These two have great chemistry, and it shows. The usual stiff kicks from Ki, but Kazarian more than holds his own, hitting some stiff chops and strikes, before managing to hit the Wave of the Future for the 3-count.

Plenty of high-flying moves mixed in with some mat wrestling and counters from both men. Matthews seems to have slightly more fire in him, however, as he gets the pinfall with the Virginia Necktie to win a very close match.

[CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/NEWF.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] NEWF Riot – Week 3, November 2008 The show kicks off with a laugh, as Priceless make their way to the ring for their opening tag team match. [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JasonCross.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JonnyStorm.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/TedDiBiaseSrSmall.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/AirParis.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/AceSteel.jpg[/IMG] [B]Match Number 1:[/B] Priceless (w/Ted DiBiase Sr.) vs Air Paris and Ace Steel[/CENTER] Not the best match to kick off the show hot, but Storm and Cross put in their usual good performance. Paris and Steel sell well for them, and in the end, the team that is getting a push pick up the victory after their manager distracts Paris, and he gets rolled up for the win. [B]Winners:[/B] Priceless ([B]Rating:[/B] E+) Ted DiBiase takes the mic after the match. “You see? You see all that? I keep saying it week after week, and they keep backing it up, week after week. This team is headed straight to the top of NEWF, and I’d like to see anybody stop us! Because Jonny Storm and Jason Cross are, quite simply, Priceless!” The Million Dollar Man finishes it off with a trademark laugh.

Paysan shows some fire though, making this by no means a squash match. After some good back-and-forth action, Paysan goes for a back suplex, but Abercrombie floats over and hits the Lungblower Double Knee Backbreaker for the three count. [B]Winner:[/B] Josh Abercrombie ([B]Rating:[/B] D-) A short announcement is made, informing the crowd that later in the night, they will see Johnny Jeter and Nick Dinsmore meet one-on-one!

Reyes is starting to decline with age, but can still hang with the best of them. Edwards notches up another win to continue his climb up the ladder, after a flurry of offence leads to him hitting the C-4 to get the pinfall.

Plenty of holds, counter holds and mat wrestling, with the two men very evenly matched. Cross plays up the angle of avoiding the London Dungeon hold, and uses a lot of technical moves designed to incapacitate rather than injure his opponent. Nigel, however, brings his usual physical style, and after working on the arm, eventually manages to lock in the London Dungeon, and Cross once again taps out. [B]Winner:[/B] Nigel McGuinness Matt Cross is shown in the ring after the match, clutching his arm, looking a hole through a celebrating McGuinness, with an expression of one who has been once again robbed of a victory by unfair tactics. ([B]Rating:[/B] C) ***Intermission*** [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JerryLynn2.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Jerry Lynn’s music hits, and the NEWF Champion makes his way to the ring, looking to address the crowd. “Two months ago, I was ready to retire from competition. I’ve had a long and successful career, one that I was, and am, extremely proud of. I’ve wrestled all over the world, I’ve won many championships, and I’ve had a lot of great matches with a lot of great opponents. I can look back at all that with a smile on my face, and know that I’ve made the absolute best of everything I have been given, and that I have no regrets over my career. I was ready to draw a curtain over that stage of my life, and begin to move on. “But then I got a phone call from Gabe Sapolsky. He told me about this new federation he was in charge of, and he told me about his vision to make that new company a place where young, athletic guys could tear it up week in and week out, entertain the fans, and have a blast in the ring. He talked to me about the kind of show he wanted to put on, a show that everybody involved in, from the boss to the wrestlers to the referees to the ring crew to the guy at the front door, could be proud of. This federation, he said, was to be called the New England Wrestling Federation, and he wanted me to come in and wrestle. “After hearing what he had to say, I couldn’t wait to get started. I wanted to see if I could still go with all these young athletes. I wanted to find out if I could still get it done. I got that chance when I was offered a qualifying match to get into the Six Man Scramble. There were some who had written me off as a has-been, thinking I had no chance of beating a young stud like BJ Whitmer to get into that match, but I did it. Then there were even more naysayers who wrote me off as not having a chance in the Six Man Scramble. I didn’t even know if I had it in me, myself. But when I got into that ring at A New Dawn, and I saw all five of my opponents, I knew this was where I belonged, and I knew I could give it my all and come out on top. And here I stand now, as the NEWF Champion, and I could not be more proud to be a part of this company. “I found out last week that my first challenger will be Joey Matthews. I gotta tell you, I think he’s a hell of a wrestler, and he’s done a lot in his career. But Joey, if you think I’m gonna lay back and be the old man anybody can beat, I’m gonna take you to school, and show you that there’s still life in the old dog yet! I hope you’re ready for me Joey, because I’m planning to hold onto this title for as long as I can, and with God as my witness, nobody is going to take it from me without a fight!” ([B]Rating:[/B] E) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JohnnyJeter.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/Nick_Dinsmore.jpg[/IMG] [B]Match Number 5:[/B] Johnny Jeter vs Nick Dinsmore[/CENTER] This match could be a main event on any NEWF show, and these guys are looking to prove that that is where they belong. Great chemistry in the ring makes this the best match on the show. The high flying Jeter manages to keep the more technically sound Dinsmore off balance, and picks up the win with a Genesis Kick. [B]Winner:[/B] Johnny Jeter ([B]Rating:[/B] C-) It is now time for our Main Event, and as Joey Matthews stands in the ring with his tag team partner BJ Whitmer, he appears to have something to say. [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JoeyMatthews.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] “So Jerry, you ‘couldn’t wait to start’ here in NEWF, huh? You wanted to get your teeth into all the young guys here? You want to see if you can ‘still get it done’? You want to prove you belong as the champion? “My God, Jerry, I’ve never seen anything so pathetic. Remember when you used to tear it up, have the best matches on the show? That was ten years ago. You know what else was happening ten years ago? Nothing important. That’s the point, Jerry. You’re not important anymore. You don’t matter. Your time has gone. And when I face you one-on-one at Take What You Can Get, I intend to prove to everyone why I deserve to be the champion around here, because it is wrestlers like me who are the future of this company, not old has-beens like you.” ([B]Rating:[/B] E+) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JoeyMatthews.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/BJWhitmer.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JerryLynn2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/AmazingRed.jpg[/IMG] [B]Main Event:[/B] Joey Matthews and BJ Whitmer vs Jerry Lynn and Amazing Red[/CENTER] Strong main event, all four guys putting in a great performance. Matthews and Lynn show no intimidation of each other, with Matthews taunting Lynn while the latter is on the apron, and vice versa. Neither man is afraid to fight the other, so we have a few little previews of how good their match could be. Red and Whitmer more than hold their own against the other two guys, however, with Red busting out some of his trademark high spots, despite Matthews and Whitmer trying to bully the smaller guy. Matthews goes to the well once too often though, taking a cheap shot on Lynn when he and Red are not the legal men, causing Red to snap and take Matthews out with a dropkick from inside the ring to the apron, following it up with a plancha to the outside. Whitmer, meanwhile, has taken advantage of the cheap shot, until Lynn battles back, managing to hit the Cradle Piledriver and getting the three count.

[CENTER][B]***Backstage***[/B][/CENTER] I’m sitting at my desk, in the middle of a phone call with Gabe Sapolsky. [COLOR="Red"]“…okay, great. We should have a good debut in a couple of weeks…sure Gabe, everything’s going to be fine. I think we’re starting to get a good reputation, feedback to the shows has been great…uh huh…sure, I’ll take care of it.”[/COLOR] Somebody’s knocking at my door. [COLOR="Red"]“I gotta go Gabe, I’ve got a meeting with one of the performers. Talk to you soon…okay, sure. Bye. “Come in.” [/COLOR] My office door opens, and [COLOR="Blue"]Nick Dinsmore[/COLOR] steps in. [COLOR="Blue"]“You wanted to see me, Will?”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]“Yes Nick, I did. Come in and have a seat.”[/COLOR] Nick sits down in front of my desk, looking like he couldn’t care less why I’ve called him into my office. [COLOR="Red"]“Okay Nick, I need to talk to you about the results of your last drugs test. It came up with the results that you’re a pretty heavy drugs user. “Nick, we can’t have that here. This is something Gabe Sapolsky and myself feel very strongly about, and we will not accept it. I know you’ve lost jobs in the past because of this…”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]“Look, if you’re going to fire me, just do it.”[/COLOR] I don’t like being interrupted. Nick already looks bored with the conversation. I breathe deeply, and manage to hold my temper in check. [COLOR="Red"]“That’s not what this is about, Nick.”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]“Then what is it about?”[/COLOR] This guy’s really starting to get on my nerves. [COLOR="Red"]“Okay Nick, here’s the deal. In this company, everybody gets two chances. You saw how I got rid of Ray Gonzales because of his attitude. I warned him twice and he didn’t do a thing about it, now he’s gone. He was one of the most popular performers on the roster, and I didn’t think twice about firing him. “Consider this your first warning. If you do it again, you’ll be on your last chance. I don’t want it to come to that, and I don’t think you do either. You’re a really talented performer, and I don’t want to see you p**s your career down the drain for something so stupid as that. This is our promotion, and as long as you’re cashing our paychecks, you play by our rules. You got that?”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]“Yeah, sure, whatever. Can I go now?”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]“Get out of here.”[/COLOR] Nick leaves, still looking bored with the whole meeting. I don’t know how much I got through to him, but I hope I gave him something to think about, at least. If he screws up again, there’s no more Mr. Nice Booker. I heave a sigh, and start working on the card for next week’s show of NEWF Riot.

[COLOR="Blue"]“What in the hell is going on in this company? I’m the biggest star on the roster, I’m the most talented, the most charismatic, and the best damn wrestler in the company. How can you have a show last week, without one Frankie Kazarian match on it? The last time I was out here, I had beaten that little wannabe warrior Low-Ki down so bad, he couldn’t even call on any of his “warrior’s spirit” to get his damn shoulders off the mat. “And when I see what happens after my match, how Joey Matthews manages to fight his way into a title shot, I can’t help but think that Joey doesn’t deserve that shot. He doesn’t deserve it, Shawn Spears didn’t deserve it, Nick “the special one” Dinsmore doesn’t deserve it, Low-Ki sure as hell doesn’t deserve it, damn, the only person that deserves a title shot is Frankie Kazarian. So what I want, is to have Gabe Sapolsky come out here right now and give me a shot against Jerry Lynn.”[/COLOR] Kaz is looking towards the ramp, but there’s nobody coming out to answer him. [COLOR="Blue"]“Come on Gabe, I can’t wait here all night. You know it makes sense.”[/COLOR] Music pumps through the venue, but it’s not Gabe Sapolsky’s. [COLOR="Red"]Low-Ki[/COLOR] comes out to the stage. Frankie suddenly looks concerned, it’s obvious he has not forgotten the brutal kicks he received from Ki in his narrow victory two weeks ago. [COLOR="Red"]“Kazarian, you’d better stop your whining. Real men don’t moan and complain until they get a title shot, they earn them the old fashioned way, in the ring. You don’t deserve a damn thing.”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]“And you do, huh? Do I need to say it again? Last time we were both in this ring, one of us was lying on the mat looking at the lights, and it sure as hell wasn’t me. I beat you before, warrior boy, and I’d do it again if I didn’t have bigger fish to fry.”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]“Well you know what, it doesn’t look like anybody’s coming to give you anything tonight Frankie, so why don’t you put your money where your mouth is, and see what kind of warrior I am!”[/COLOR] Frankie starts to freak out slightly, as [COLOR="Green"]Gabe Sapolsky’s[/COLOR] music hits. [COLOR="Green"]“That sounds like a great idea, as a matter of fact. Hey Frankie, you shouldn’t be concerned, after all, you beat the guy two weeks ago, right? In fact, if you manage to beat him again tonight, you’ll get your title shot. So tonight, our main event is going to be Frankie Kazarian taking on Low-Ki!”[/COLOR] ([B]Rating:[/B] D) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/JoshAbercrombie.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/FrankyTheMobster.jpg[/IMG] [B]Match Number 1:[/B] Josh Abercrombie vs Franky the Mobster[/CENTER] A fairly competitive match, mostly used to show Abercrombie can use his skills to hang with bigger opponents. Franky uses his size advantage and his physical Puroresu style early on, until Abercrombie starts working on the arm of Franky, trying to take away some of his mat wrestling opportunities, and starts building some momentum. It’s obvious which one is climbing the ladder at this time, and Josh hits an Abercrombie ‘n’ Flinch rolling cutter to get the pinfall. [B]Winner:[/B] Josh Abercrombie ([B]Rating:[/B] D) We go to a corridor in the back, where [COLOR="Orange"]Ted DiBiase[/COLOR] is seen talking with Frankie Kazarian from some distance away. As the camera approaches, Frankie walks away, leaving DiBiase alone with the camera. DiBiase looks uncomfortable for a moment, then turns to the cameraman, reaching into his pockets.

During the action, the commentators mention that there will be a rematch between Nick Dinsmore and Johnny Jeter at Take What You Can Get. Nice chain wrestling, reversals and technical throws throughout from both men. Dinsmore gets the pinfall after bridging, following a chain of German Suplexes, to build momentum for his match with Jeter.

Something of a contrast in personalities between the two, with Chavis verbally abusing Edwards when he is in control, while Edwards lets his actions do the talking and takes his opponent apart with various suplexes and holds to wear him down, eventually blocking an attempt at the Dark Side Street Cutter and hitting the C-4 for the win. [B]Winner:[/B] Eddie Edwards ([B]Rating:[/B] D) [COLOR="Red"]Matt Cross[/COLOR] comes to the ring next, mic in hand, looking angry at the world. [COLOR="Red"]“McGuinness, you cheating scum! Last week, I had that match in the palm of my hand, staying well within the rules, and without causing any danger to your long-term health, I was out-wrestling you. If you had countered me fairly and effectively, I would not be out here complaining, I would accept that the better man won. But you, like the lowly coward that you are, decided to take the low road and once again attempt to permanently injure my arm. You used that London Dungeon manoeuvre again Nigel, and it’s not fair! “Since last week, I’ve had to endure people laughing at me behind my back, thinking you’re a better wrestler than me, McGuinness. I can’t handle that, I won’t handle that, and I’m not going to take it anymore. I have to prove to you and the world who the better wrestler really is, and to do that, I have to beat you fairly in the middle of the ring, and win the NEWF Regional Championship. “I have to do this, Nigel. And to do this, I’m going to ask that in our match, you refrain from using that submission hold. Show that you can beat me without the London Dungeon, Nigel, and I’ll leave you and never bother you again.”[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]Nigel McGuinness’[/COLOR] music hits, to a big reaction, and he comes out and holds his title aloft to the crowd. He takes the mic. [COLOR="Blue"]“Matty, Matty, Matty. You can’t accept it, can you? I’ve told you before, sunshine. I’m the best damn technical wrestler on the planet, and I don’t mind proving it. Do you really think my arsenal revolves around one move? Fine then, son, I’ll prove it to you one last time. The time is at Take What You Can Get, and I’ll even agree to being disqualified if I use the London Dungeon. And Matty, I don’t care about how disfigured you become. I’m going to retain my championship, because you won’t do what it takes to beat me, because you haven’t got the balls.”[/COLOR] McGuinness’ music plays once again, as Nigel is shown laughing at Cross, while the latter has an angry, focused look.

Red and Matthews still clearly have an issue with each other, not pulling any punches. Red brings his usual high-risk style, almost knocking Matthews off balance. The finish comes when Matthews is on the apron, and in almost a replay of last week, Red dropkicks him off the apron and prepares for a running plancha. Matthews shows he has learned from last week, however, playing possum and moving at the last second, allowing Red to crash and burn outside the ring. Matthews then throws Red back in the ring, and hits a Double Arm DDT to get the win. [B]Winner:[/B] Joey Matthews ([B]Rating:[/B] E) We go to the back, where the cameraman is slightly too late once again, as we see Ted DiBiase standing with Jason Cross and Jonny Storm in a corridor. The three appear to be plotting something, but they retreat into their locker room and slam the door before the camera can pick up what they are discussing.

However, it seems to have escaped BJ’s notice that there are few on the planet who can live up to Lynn’s skills, and after a good back-and-forth match, Lynn gets the second pinfall in as many weeks over Whitmer with a Cradle Piledriver. [B]Winner:[/B] Jerry Lynn ([B]Rating:[/B] D+) [COLOR="Green"]Gabe Sapolsky[/COLOR] comes out to the ramp next, and it looks like he’s got an announcement to make. [COLOR="Green"]“As I’m sure you’re all aware, next week we have our debut TV showing of NEWF Riot on WGBN. To mark this momentous occasion, next week in the main event, we will see a huge six-man tag team match! On one side of the ring will be the team of the number one contender Joey Matthews, Matt Cross, and Johnny Jeter! Their opponents will be three of the best NEWF has to offer: Nick Dinsmore, the NEWF Regional Champion Nigel McGuinness, and the NEWF Champion Jerry Lynn!”[/COLOR] ([B]Rating:[/B] E+) [CENTER][IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/Low-Ki.jpg[/IMG]vs[IMG]http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq300/grayrowl/FrankieKazarian.jpg[/IMG] [B]Main Event:[/B] Low-Ki vs Frankie Kazarian[/CENTER] Frankie is anything but eager to lock up with Ki, while Ki is almost sadistically eager to get his hands (and feet) on Kaz. After a few hard kicks, chops and other shots, Kazarian realises he has to fight back otherwise he will be sidelined by the vicious Ki. Frankie fights back with some shots of his own, mixing in some of his trademark suplexes. After some further back and forth action, Ki hits the Ki Krusher and ascends to the top rope, preparing to deliver the Warrior’s Way Double Foot Stomp. Just when it is all looking to go very wrong for Kaz, Jonny Storm and Jason Cross hit the ring, knocking Ki off the top rope and beating him down with a barrage of punches while he is grounded. The referee has no choice but to call for the bell. [B]Winner by DQ:[/B] Low-Ki ([B]Rating:[/B] C+) The match is over, but Cross and Storm are continuing the assault, including both men hitting their finishers on Low-Ki. The beatdown culminates when the two men hold Ki prone in front of Kaz, as Ted DiBiase hands Frankie a steel chair from ringside. Kaz bangs the chair against the mat to build up some steam, then creams Ki with the chair, denting it beyond repair. As Low-Ki lies prone on the mat, [COLOR="Orange"]Ted DiBiase[/COLOR] takes the mic and addresses the crowd. [COLOR="Orange"]“May I introduce to you all, my newest client, the latest member of Priceless, and the man who is going to lead us right where we belong, the very top of this company. The one, the only, Frankie Kazarian!”[/COLOR] All four men pose over Ki’s battered body as the show ends. ([B]Rating:[/B] D) ([B]Overall Show Rating:[/B] C-)

Looks good so far. Seems like a lot of wrestlers in game could care less about the punishment you deal out. Picks: NEWF Championship: Jerry Lynn (c) vs [I]Joey Matthews[/I] NEWF Regional Championship: [I]Nigel McGuinness[/I] (c) vs Matt Cross Nick Dinsmore vs [I]Johnny Jeter[/I]

Yeah, looks like I may have to be a bit more of a hardass with Dinsmore in future. Although in the pre-diary game, Ray Gonzales was being an ass backstage, although he seemed to listen when I disciplined him, he still carried on. So I fired him. :) This last episode was the easiest for me to write, since I had a theme of Priceless coming together running through the whole show. Thanks for the interest!
