Holmes is improving, but up to about E+ only. JD Morgan is around the D mark, Man Mountain Cahill hit C+ and even Steve Flash has hit D+, with C- Charisma.

The Brothers play a speed game against the other teams, though a very technically sound theme runs through the entire match, seeing Scout in particular shine. For quite some time the match is a question of two young teams of energetic faces against the cagey, wily veterans – and if that's all there was to Coleman & Ferdinand, they probably would have been overwhelmed. When you can't capitalise on a missed high spot because your other opponent is hitting his, you easily find yourself dragged under by attrition. The thing is, that's [i]not[/i] all Coleman & Ferdinand do. They're not without their own high risk offence – it's just that in their case it involves dumping their partner onto a downed opponent. And given that, in this match, they don't even have to risk their partner's safety... Except that, well, they do. In the closing stages of the match, with Adrian Dangerous sprawled on the floor outside the ring, virtually unconscious after a suicide dive onto Guide, Nathan Coleman tags in Stuart Ferdinand and smashes him down onto a prone Scout with the Pioneer Twist spin-out neckbreaker. He promptly cuts of Richard Dangerous' attempt to break it up with a second Twist. After a lengthy period of isolation from the tag title scene, Coleman & Ferdinand find themselves at the top of the ladder.

John McClean and Bryan Holmes are seated at a desk, looking seriously out at the camera, microphones in front of each man. “Tommy Cornell,” John McClean begins, “is a former champion of this company. He was identified over two years ago as one of the brightest potential stars of the SWF, a company that boasts on its roster the American Tiger Sean McFly and the legendary Sam Keith. “This man has beaten him. “Tom Gilmore,” he continues, “has held championship gold in Japan and throughout North America. He is a member of a team that has defeated the Stone Siblings, Dan Jr and Jeremy, on multiple occasions. He was identified before his arrival in this company as the only shining light of AMW. “This man has, also, beaten him. “Rich Money is recognised as a rising star of this sport. He has held championship gold throughout this country. “This man has made Rich Money submit. “Tommy Cornell has, in his time, had three unsuccessful matches for the PPPW Tri-State Championship. Tom Gilmore has wrestled a similar number of contests, all unsuccessful. “Rich Money has failed to defeat Brent Hill in champion versus champion matches, and has also been defeated on his one full title shot – a title shot obtained through the hard work of others, to whit, Charlie Thatcher, John Maverick, and Demon Anger. “This man has, until now, had no opportunities to wrestle for the Tri-State Championship. “Money did not earn his title shot. Cornell demanded one in his contract. Gilmore has never reached a title shot through a number one contendership match. “Bryan Holmes had to beat all three of these men in one night to earn this opportunity. “We have been held down for far too long. We are taking what we deserve back the way wrestlers should. “By winning. By Any Means Necessary.” [CENTER]Texas Death Match [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/JungleJack_alt1.jpg[/IMG] w/ [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/FloydGoldworthy.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/Whistler.jpg[/IMG] Black Jack Marlowe w/ Floyd Goldworthy vs. Whistler[/CENTER] The battle between former partners, former tag champions. It's not a main event. It's not even a particularly featured match. And, in a testament to Whistler's undisputable ability to keep the crowd happy, in a testament to Marlowe's vicious skill, the fans come alive during this match to the level of any of Whistler's title defences through 1996, when this was as good as it got for the small crowds watching the action. In ten minutes both men run the crowd through a gamut of emotions, but steak finally overcomes sizzle as the Jackhammer leaves Whistler battered and broken on the mat, leaving him there for the full count of ten after the pinfall, and leaves Black Jack Marlowe the victor.

It keeps cutting back to the Johnson/Hall confrontation that closed out the most recent News of the War. But throughout, it returns to major moments; Hall's title win against Cornell, Anger's exposing Hall as a cheater, the moment where it was made clear that Hall had joined the new Golden Age... And intercut throughout is a familiar Ricky Dale Johnson interview, the first time he spoke in the promotion[/i]: “I came here to wrestle. Nothin' special, nothin' fancy. Just came here to wrestle. It's how I've always made a living. I like to think I do it well. Saw this as a place I could come to just forget the distractions and get down to it. “I didn't come here as part of Money's twisted agenda. Didn't have an agenda of my own, neither. “And I spent Sunday morning in a hospital talkin' to Tom Gilmore. When I met him the first time, they called him Angry. I didn't think much of it, but yesterday, while he was getting' himself back together enough to leave the hospital... Man, he was furious... “Rich, Charlie – this boy does have an agenda. Same one Tom has. Same one I think I might have ta run with until we've sorted things out. “He don't like you, and Tom don't like you, and the three of us are of a mind to break your little mob up.” [CENTER][IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/HoratioDangerous.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/TommyCornell_alt1.jpg[/IMG] w/ [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/WandaFish_Glamazon.jpg[/IMG] Horatio Dangerous vs. Tommy Cornell w/ Wanda Fish[/CENTER] After the previous month's match between Dangerous and Morgan, there were a lot of high hopes for this match, but they weren't to come to what the fans hoped – while Dangerous and Morgan demonstrate an innate understanding, Cornell and the veteran can come to no similar understanding. With their timings off and their counters awkward, they resort to an old favourite play; Cornell adopts the Nemesis role and Dangerous plays understudy to Cornell as an all-out battle in the style of Cornell's final SWF match breaks out, extended for perhaps another five minutes but containing the bulk of the original spots as well as both men's signature work. Fair looks like he wants to end the match at several points, but smart work by Fish, Dangerous and Cornell sees him persuaded to keep going, occasionally by simply resorting to appeals to the crowd. Smarks will be pointing to this one for some years as an example of a match being utterly rebooked on the fly, singling out the moments where the departure into semi-hardcore is signposted and passed on to the other participants, but it's mostly guesswork. Wanda Fish takes the bump of the match, as where Nemesis powerbombed Cornell through tables from the ring to the outside, here Cornell and Wanda attempt to make it a team powerbomb, only to see Dangerous counter out and hit the move on Fish. Moments later Dangerous turns into the Rough Ride and the Guilt Trip cinches in hard. For work intended to cover for a chemistry issue, it's nothing to regret.

The backdrop/sunset flip/inside cradle counter exchange in particular pops the crowd, and when Johnson kicks out of the cradle Hall's waiting to pick the pace right back up with a huge boot to the face. At its best, however, this match is a slugfest between two tough customers who know how to fight, and that's how it ends, too, as the fight degenerates into a massive brawl on the outside. Fair tries to keep it under control, but eventually gives up on that, calling it a draw. The fans bray their frustration with the situation, but it's pretty clear how it came about...

It's a long contest – twenty-five minutes by the end – and it might just as fairly have been billed as a pure technical showcase. Holmes looks ready the whole time to unleash something lethal, but he and Hill have each other scouted almost to perfection – neither man can find a big enough opening to really go to town on their opponent. That doesn't change until the twenty minute mark. [CENTER][IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/StuartFerdinand.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] That's when Jay Fair gets caught with a spinning boot by Brent Hill as he goes for the tornado DDT, and moments later, that's when Stuart Ferdinand is in the ring. Ferdinand blindsides Hill, hammering him with forearms to the back then lifting him in an electric chair position while Holmes climbs to the top rope. Looking out at the audience, Holmes explodes not into a moonsault but into the Cyclone Shock Kick backflip kick – from top turnbuckle! Azaria dubs it the 'Doomsday Clock Kick', riffing off everything he can, and Hill hits the mat like a corpse. The two Any Means Necessary men follow up with the powerbomb/neckbreaker combo that has, in Mexico, been dubbed the Monterobreaker since the injury it inflicted on Luis Montero when botched, and after glancing at Fair to check he hasn't recovered, set up for something else. [CENTER][IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] And that's when Johnson arrives. He drops Ferdinand with a massive left hook, spins Holmes around, and hits the Southern Justice before bailing, dragging Ferdinand with him. Holmes recovers first and, seeing Fair stirring, scrambles for the cover – but Hill just barely kicks out. Frustrated, Holmes goes for the Final Impact – and Hill blocks the lift. Holmes brings the forearm into play, smashed into the back of Hill's head, and tries again – but this time Hill hooks a foot in behind Holmes' own ankle, blocks, and rolls forward into an inside cradle. Holmes can't quite find a counter in time...

Holmes looks set to continue the assault, but the opening saxophone of [i]Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)[/i] hits and the arrival of Emma Chase and client Human Arsenal pulls Holmes up short and he backs off. Emma regards Hill as he slowly finds his feet, watching the Maximum Champion cautiously and his manager even more so – it's not as if Chase's reputation is snow-pure, after all. “Congratulations,” she purrs into the microphone. Still wary, Hill nods. “I have a little proposal for you, Brent,” Emma says. “No pressure on this one, mind, but... Well. You and my client here, you've wrestled to a draw twice. Neither of you seem able to beat the other. “So next month – at Neighbourhood Threat – why not settle that question? Thirty minutes. Iron Man. For both your belt – and my client's belt.” Hill looks on, wiping the sweat from his brow, catching his breath, as Fair hands him the belt in question. Eventually, Brent nods to a major reaction from the crowd. The Arsenal walks to the ring and offers Hill his hand, and the pair shake, with Emma smiling in the background. The last shot of From the Warzone sees Hill and the Arsenal on either side of Emma Chase holding their belts aloft for the crowd. -- A huge attendance and a stellar pair of final matches cement a truly excellent pay-per-view.

The only thing I fought him on was that final match, the Iron Man between Brent and John.” He laughs. “I swear, the last two years I have not been able to get my head around the fact we never tagged those two up... “But that was our two big belts. The XFW belt – having Randall take it here was to make the fans think that the war had gotten even worse. “You have to understand the position. XFW folds publically, and Phil – who'd parlayed DaVE's finances into a pretty solid chunk, enough that he could afford our TV deal until he could bully them into something better – steps in, picking up the tape library – not worth a huge amount, though the Jack Bruce and Brandon stuff in there's not at all bad, and the same with the Peaks – and at the same time we're facing up to the fact we're on our way out. “If we'd allowed word to leak – thank God our crew were so loyal – it would have screwed up the angle. And much as, when the War was still being properly fought, Phil was the enemy, now he was the guy pulling our asses out the fire. He gave a bunch of guys – and not just ones we'd taken from him – work for quite a while.” [CENTER]-- [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/MeanJeanCattley.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Jean Cattley nods. “The locker room, when we moved over, was harsh. And I'm a kid doing job guy stuff, and liberties got taken... I'm not naming names, because it wouldn't be fair. That's how the business was, it's about starting in that kind of place. “But JD and Sherlock were there, and they stuck with me. They gave me tips, they... It wasn't that there was still a Philly Pro corner of the locker room. But the boys you come up with, you watch for, you know? “Without Sherlock, in particular, I'd never have gotten over enough that Rip signed me for Southern Class. Without that, I wouldn't be running this donkey show now.” In the background, Casey Valentine makes a mock-outraged face, then cracks up laughing. [CENTER]-- [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/SWF%20Footage/PhilVibert.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] “It was essential,” Phil Vibert says, an urgency to his voice, a clear desire to communicate this, “that the East Coast War still looked like it was at full throttle. To suddenly see DaVE on your screen – to start our first month on TV with a title unification tournament, AMW Championship – the Maximum Championship, of course – and it's unification with the Tri-State Championship having happened to cut us down to just four, the XFW World Championship, the Rapid Pro World Championship, and of course our own Extreme Championship – that was what we wanted. We wanted to go from apparent full-scale war to full-on apocalypse as soon as we got onto that bigger stage. “By Back In Black 1999 we had the whole caboodle. By Back in Black Johnny Martin had unified the belts. And what competition – the weakest among them was Silver Shark, and that happened because there was no way in hell I was giving any kind of time to Cousin ****in' Ezra – it just ended the War the way the War would have deserved to end if the whole damn thing had been an angle. But we nearly couldn't do it, because XFW went public. “So we had Randall show up on Philly Pro to confuse things. To take the two bigger names and set them at each others' throats. Above all, to make sure the War looked at its worst, which is to say its best.” He smiles. “And Harry and Barber did most of the work, because they had the platform with TV and they had the time, compared to us. But it did mean that December was about half my booking. That got awkward for Harry, but he's a trooper. He did what we needed and he made it work.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwell seems fired up once again, frustrated perhaps by his latest failure to gain a title over the past month, frustrated due to the assault he suffered – and that gives Bryant his opening, as the Tag Team Master actually, for the first time, dominates Rockwell, schooling him repeatedly with his widening moveset. It's rare that Rockwell can control for long enough to apply much work to Bryant's arm, though when he does so he goes to work with a vengeance and a fury. Bryant eventually takes it too far, nursing his arm for a moment atop the turnbuckle and going nonetheless for a flying clothesline. Rockwell leaps into it, twisting and rolling to cinch down the fujiwara armbar once again. Helpless, Bryant has to tap.

He's getting' kinda scary, truth be told. The Tag Team Master – you ought to think about mebbe going solo soon. “Now, though – what I wanted to talk about, an' for that matter who I wanted to talk to. You can probably guess, but it's our new arrival Hopkirk. “I appreciate there's other people who have a right to a shot at that belt of yours. I appreciate I had my shot. “But brother, you cheated your way through my challenge. And it's well known around here what happens when you cheat me of my proof that I am who I say I am, that that means what I say it means. “So here's the thing. I give those guys their shots. But the end of the month, the moment we hit Neighbourhood Threat, you're mine. “And I hope you do what you say you can to that point. I hope you still got yourself that belt. Because to show you, I'll take it off you. And then, I hope, you'll understand exactly what it means to be Chris Rockwell.” [CENTER][IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/06.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/TommyCornell_alt1.jpg[/IMG] w/ [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/WandaFish_Glamazon.jpg[/IMG] Adrian Dangerous vs. Tommy Cornell w/ Wanda Fish[/CENTER] In the Coastal Zone's stamping grounds, Adrian is the more regarded brother – and he has some real fan support here. It helps – as does Adrian's burgeoning ability to work in the more grounded style Cornell favours as well as his own favourite airborne manoeuvres. Nonetheless, however, Cornell clearly has his measure, putting him away after ten minutes with the Guilt Trip to a warm reception.

Hey, Dangerous – you wanna get out here?” [CENTER][IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/HoratioDangerous.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] After a few moments, Horatio appears, watching Cornell warily. “Good to see you,” he grins. “Now I know you want this over with, and I want to get on with my life – so here's what I figure needs doing. “Come Neighbourhood Threat, you bring your boys, and I'll bring JD, and Jackie boy, and Wanda. And we'll find ourselves a way of settling this, because I came into 1998 owing you a grudge and I'm not leaving 1998 with it unpaid. “I called myself Too Good for TV last time I was here. These days I'm just too good for your pathetic breed. “Good showing by them Saturday, by the way. Always nice to see a good strong tag title run, don't you think?” Dangerous snarls. “Tommy,” he says, and then he trails off for a moment and sighs. “You have real problems. And you're good enough that I don't think you're ever going to realise just how bad you need therapy. 'Cause you're gonna win a whole bunch, and you're going to stay a spoiled little *******. “But I think maybe that was always gonna happen. I don't know how you came through what Nemesis did to you and you didn't realise that when you act like you do you make enemies better left alone. “I don't have much of a career left to me, Tommy. I truly don't. “But I don't want to see you keep on using that talent and that temper to destroy people who deserve a chance. “You've got your match. And at Neighbourhood Threat, I'll be fine giving you everything I have. Risking everything. And making damn sure that you never kill another career. “Even if I have to break my body to the point where I give up mine.” [CENTER][IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/BrentHill.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/JDMorgan.jpg[/IMG] w/ [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/WandaFish_Glamazon.jpg[/IMG] Brent Hill vs. JD Morgan w/ Wanda Fish[/CENTER] Morgan's still a damn fine competitor, but he once again comes up a few inches short. It's almost a by-the-numbers match, except that two workers like this never stick to that kind of routine. They keep it going almost to the time limit, but that King of the Hill reinforces Brent's skill once again, scoring the win.

Not just on the Philly Pro side – I wasn't likely to keep Lucas Hale, say, any more than Jake Harvey, and a lot of the other names went by the wayside, even the big names. “I was careful to make sure everyone who had a big title match was signed – make sure that anyone who'd figured we were going into a tournament would still not be sure who was winning. “And other than that... Rick Sanders I cut. I wasn't the only one – Dangerous had chosen to let his contract run down. I think that was the moment, though, that Sanders went on to truly hate DaVE and to truly hate Johnny Martin. “We lost out on Tommy. He went straight to HGC, and this time he stayed there.” Phil half-smiles. “We all know what happened next. “A lot of the guys fell back on their other bookings. I know Tom Gilmore just went back to Canada for a while and concentrated there. Bryan came to us. The Dangerous boys came to us, even if we weren't really where they caught Richard's eye...” [CENTER]-- [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/SWF%20Footage/06.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [i]It's seen in a split-second clip regularly on SWF programming, a few moments of a BBW event captured in time. It's arguably the single moment of Adrian Dangerous' life that has been witnessed by most people by this stage. It's an exploding ring death match. Kajahara – the eventual winner – and 'H-Bomb' Hiroaki Nakasawa exchange punches on the outside. Adrian hits the ropes and charges toward them - - And the ring detonates. The camerawork is beautiful in that way only luck can arrange; Nakasawa and Kajahara are silhouetted, punch for punch, in front of blinding whiteness, Adrian Dangerous lost to sight in the light. And then he becomes visible again. The clip is slowed to a crawl as, arms outstretched, Adrian Dangerous hurtles like the shadow of a hunting bird from the light onto both men on the outside. It's the instant that saw him dubbed 'Sir Adrian, Prince of the Deathmatch'. No one who discusses it these days pays much attention to the fact Kajahara finished by pinning him; the legend is all about that serendipitous shot.[/i] [CENTER]-- [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/Dangerous/SWF%20Footage/PhilVibert.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Vibert half-smiles. “JD came back, of course, and Emma. We finally got our hands on Brandon and the Peaks, too, but JD coming back was a little bit of a coup, even if his time in the limelight with us was gone. “It was a strange few months. We had to make the fans enjoy DaVE matches but when we took on Philly Pro's timeslot we took on, however briefly, their image. The trick was bringing the fans to us without killing off the fanbase that made the show profitable. “What everyone forgets now is how important [i]News of the War[/i] became. When it started there were maybe a thousand viewers a show. By the time it became Danger Zone TV there were nearly ten times that many tuning in nationwide. “It proved things. It paved the way. “And...” He grins. “And JD, and the Dangerous boys, and Sammy, and the few others we brought in... they took their chairshots. They hit the barbed wire. They went through tables. “And they made Johnny Martin and the rest into legitimate stars before they started to leave. And they didn't compromise what they had to do it – they just weren't used to the hardcore mileu. It just worked, somehow...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
