TCW: A Quiet Retirement


Recommended Posts

Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

 

Always good to keep Wolf's ego in check and Bloodstone is good enough and has been built up well enough to take this title.

 

All Action Championship - Hangtime Match

Edd Stone © vs. Acid vs. Sammy Bach

 

This has all the makings of Edd Stone's 'match' backfiring on him, I'll go for Acid to win the belt as I can see Bach having his sights set a little higher after this.

 

Tag Team Championships

The Machines © vs. The New Wave w/ The Young Guns

 

More trouble for the Syndicate, as The New Wave thanks to help from The Young Guns finally defeat their rivals for the belts. The Young Guns will of course want a shot at the belts, as a 'thank you' at the very least.

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

 

Tyler gets one over on Andrews yet again, via some form of cheating, that a veteran is able to get away with but a rookie like Andrews would get pulled up on.

 

Hard-Hitting Championship - No Holds Barred Match

Eddie Peak vs. Ricky Dale Johnson vs. Sam Keith vs. Tyson Baine

 

Sam Keith wins the title (one last good run ?) prompting the thoughts that the Syndicate might be able to save what has been a bad night so far.

 

International Championship

Koshiro Ino © w/ Baroness Emily vs. Chris Rockwell

 

Some kind of no contest draw. The feud drags out for a little longer, Ino remains looking relatively strong as champion and Rockwell remains undefeated.

 

World Heavyweight Championship

Tommy Cornell © vs. Troy Tornado

 

Cornell's reign as World Champion is finally brought to an end. What it ultimately creates is a situation where the only member of the Syndicate not to have a title coming into the PPV now has a title, where as the rest of the stable head into the PPV all holding gold but head out empty handed.

Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

Bloodstone really didn't impress as much as expected in his first weeks back, I don't see the company having enough faith in him to give him a victory over their future Mega Star.

Edd Stone © vs. Acid vs. Sammy Bach

..is this a three-way match with all heels? Wow. Well, in any case, Acid winning would make the belt look a bit more solidified in my mind, and I see both Stone and Bach moving on to bigger titles once they've finished their feud. (and hopefully, one of them will have turned since) Acid's a good pick to hold the belt.

 

Tag Team Championships

The Machines © vs. The New Wave w/ The Young Guns

The Machines have had a good run, but I agree with TK, that this will end up being a very back and forth night for The Syndicate, and it starts here.

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

I don't know how much popularity Andrews has gained, but he starts out as an Enhancement Talent, and Eric Tyler starts out as a Main Eventer, I simply can't see Andrews winning this.

 

Hard-Hitting Championship - No Holds Barred Match

Eddie Peak vs. Ricky Dale Johnson vs. Sam Keith vs. Tyson Baine

At first I was going to go with RDJ, but then I figured that perhaps Keith would be the best way to go. A guy like him for first champ would be a great way to solidify the title. Eventually losing it to Ricky Dale would do wonders for it's lineage as well. This seems like a good chance to give Keith the thank-you reign he deserves.

 

International Championship

Koshiro Ino © w/ Baroness Emily vs. Chris Rockwell

While I see people's points when they call for a draw, I think that would be pretty weak for a Pay-Per-View title match..as for the pick, Rockwell's good, but I mean, he just got here. A little early to be winning gold. And Ino's a good fit for that belt, I think he'll have a pretty long run with it.

 

World Heavyweight Championship

Tommy Cornell © vs. Troy Tornado

I'm calling it, this is the end of the feud, and Tornado takes the gold. He really deserves it. He's been with the company since it's inception, he waited very patiently for his run at the Main Event scene, and now that the momentum's being built, I can definately see Tornado being the one to finally end this reign.

Without trying to give too much away, by the time the diary starts Andrews is a Lower Midcarder. Oddly, this is despite my not actually trying to get him over until the Tyler feud.

Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

Bloodstone is good, but I believe this will be the start of what would seem to be a great night for the Syndicate.

The Machines' time as champions is comming to an end, but I don't think it's this month. It doesn't quite feel like the right time to end such a long reign.

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

Tyler going over, possibly with interference from SoT. Andrews pushes him right to the limit.

I said earlier about it not feeling right to make the tag switch, well it feels right here. Also with everyone else in the syndicate winning, it creates some great tension, possibly slow building to a potential Keith/TC feud.

Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

As openers go, this one wasn't a bad choice. Hawkins comes out with a lot of focus evident in his eyes, and it looks like, this being Pay-Per-View, he's less willing to back out of the match if it turns against him.

 

He still gets tempted from time to time, evidently – Bloodstone as a calculating wrestler is, if anything, scarier than Bloodstone who flies off the handle. And as good as Hawkins is – and make no mistake, pampered pet of the Syndicate or not, Wolf Hawkins shows himself to be a dangerous fighter - Bloodstone on a tear and with something to prove is not a man you want to face off with.

 

Around the fifteen minute mark, Hawkins bails, and it's the Bombshell who cuts him off, grabbing him by the arm. He swings, she ducks – and this is all the time Bloodstone needs to catch him. He takes Wolf down by the leg, clamps on an ankle lock, turns the Syndicate prodigy to face the ring – and lets him crawl.

 

Hawkins scrambles up the steel stairs and back into the ring just to grab the ropes and break the hold. On commentary, Dangerous notes that maybe the whole thing took a little longer than the count of ten would usually run – and Rhodes agrees cheerfully, saying that Eugene Williams probably doesn't much like the way the Syndicate have acted.

 

Bloodstone goes back to the hold just long enough to rule the Full Moon Rising out of bounds, seeming to take genuine pleasure in that, and then shifts his game. Wolf's other big moves, too, rely on his kicks, and with them gone he's forced to try to handle Bloodstone on the mat.

 

What's surprising is that for the next minute and a half he holds his own, and it takes as long again before the Bloodstone Mutilation finally brings the match to an end.

In the interview area backstage, Eric Tyler grins. “Tonight,” he declares, “is go time. I set out to prove a point to Aaron Andrews.

 

“He ran scared. He got backup.

 

“I reformed the band that have always had my back. Few new members, sure. But it's the School that's important. Teachers come and go.

 

“Tonight, Aaron, is your passing out class. Literally – you give me the respect I deserve, or you pass out from the pain. No other way this can end.

 

“And then, when I'm done with you, it's time to start on your buddies. Law, you had less reason to get involved than anyone else – so let's start with you.”

Edd Stone © vs. Acid vs. Sammy Bach

The lights come up, and the net structure is illuminated. The three wrestlers stand at points of an even triangle surrounding the hole above the ring, and as the bell rings Edd Stone dives at Acid, Acid lunges for Edd Stone, and even as the safety net flexes while they bounce into contact, Sammy Bach remains entirely motionless, somehow seeming unaffected by the shift in balance.

 

Acid and Edd collide, Acid getting the better of the opening exchange with a spinwheel kick; Edd lands on his back and skids perilously close to the edge of the hole off the impact. Near elimination off the first move... but Edd recovers. Acid, seeing this, charges, and Edd backdrops him – but so great is the masked man's athleticism that he manages to push off and fly all the way past the hole, landing near the still-impassive Bach.

 

Acid whirls and flings out a punch, and Bach abruptly comes to life, blocking it, headbutting the masked man to drive him back a step, then launching a hook kick that staggers Acid to the every edge of the net.

 

From then on, it's on. All three men know what they're doing now, strikes to try to drive them closer to the hole – and these men know their strikes.

 

Acid is the first to go, jumping when he shouldn't have done. He's going for Edd, but Bach takes advantage, blasting him over the edge with a beautiful, textbook superkick.

 

Less than a minute later, he tries the same on the Stone – who ducks it, going for a leg sweep and rising smoothly as Sammy's leg is taken out from under him to hit a backdrop. This time, the target crashes to the ring...

Troy Tornado comes to the ring, flanked by the Young Guns, microphone in hand.

 

“It's my distinct pleasure,” he says, “to introduce to you the tag team that'll be taking on the Machines for their tag titles tonight.

 

“But those aren't the men standing with me.

 

“There are a number of reasons for this. Ultimately, they all come down to us being sick of the Syndicate.

 

“See, Painful Procedure... we're friends. But it comes down to – what's best for the company we work for?

 

“Harry and Steve – they've agreed, this once, to help me with my match tonight. To end Cornell's streak, his run at the top with hired guns keeping him there.

 

“So we want them fresh. So, in return for the first shot at the titles after they've won them, we gave their place to these men...”

The Machines © vs. The New Wave w/ The Young Guns

Crisp, clean, brisk, and hard-fought. All good words for this match. Even with Scout's minor injury, this is a humdinger of a tag contest. The teams seem to be evenly matched straight down the line, but until now the Machines have had an advantage – backup and cheating.

 

Well, with the Young Guns at ringside, backup just can't get there. And with them watching in between, cheating gets paid back, often with interest.

 

It's a pure beatdown, ultimately, and Sam Sparrow, a smirk on his face, lets it happen. Scout wraps it up triumphantly, clamping down the Special Force on John Anderson for the submission victory.

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

A surprisingly even contest; Andrews busts out a few tricks he hasn't used before, even going for something resembling a Minnesota Salute at one point – though long years in DaVE leave Tyler with that well scouted, and he blocks it.

 

The thing is, by now Andrews has Tyler scouted too. Rapidly, this match turns into a hefty slugfest, and while Tyler's a big guy, and used to taking hits, he's also pushing toward fifty fast. Every shot Andrews hits him with hurts, and Dangerous, on commentary, is in the perfect position to say how much.

 

Andrews, on the other hand... He's young. He's resilient. End result – just barely – is the advantage.

 

Until, that is, Laura Huggins gets involved.

 

It doesn't take much, but she makes sure of it – the stiletto edge of her heel, wielded in her hand, comes down on Aaron's foot while he's near the apron.

 

That translates to a DDT by Tyler, a stomp to the back of Aaron's head, and then a Tradition Lift.

 

Andrews never submits. But he's hurting, and in time, he passes out...

“It'll look good on my wall...”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/SamKeith_alt2.jpg

Cutting swiftly, Sam Keith looks up at the camera and smirks. “I've won a lot of titles,” he says. “All round the world, you name it – if it's important, I've probably won it.

 

“Except here. Tonight, though, I get a chance to change that, and to add something new at the same time.

 

“Tonight I win my first TCW title. And tonight, I become the first man to hold a championship for the first time.”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TysonBaine.jpg

Another cut; Tyson Baine glowers at the screen. Normally he'd scream, he'd rant, he'd work up a head of steam against his opponent. Tonight, though, tonight is different.

 

“The belt's mine,” he says flatly. “End of story.”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/RickyDaleJohnson.jpg

Finally, Ricky Dale Johnson.

 

“The Syndicate can't be allowed to hold everything,” he begins, then his face splits into a grin. “Not that I'm gonna deny, holding gold again will be sweet.

 

“But this first championship win... It's going to be fun.

 

“I'll see you guys round the ring when I come out.”

Eddie Peak vs. Ricky Dale Johnson vs. Sam Keith vs. Tyson Baine

Brutal.

 

Everyone bleeds. Everyone suffers. Everyone finds themselves battered around the ring.

 

Eddie Peak treats the match as his personal coming-out party, pounding on everyone with abandon and glee. RDJ does his usual work, standing there dishing out pain to everybody.

 

More and more, Tyson Baine looks like he's just going to snap. He virtually pulverises RDJ, getting more and more frustrated as time goes on and pinfall after pinfall is either kicked out of or broken up.

 

Eventually he Hades Bombs RDJ to the outside in a moment that brings the crowd to their feet. Keith capitalises, tripping Peak to send him out as well. As Baine turns, Sam Keith thumbs him in the eye, kicks him in the nuts, and yanks him down for the Proton Lock, using the ropes for extra leverage. Referee Ray Johnson doesn't look impressed with his actions, but what can he do? A few minutes later Baine taps out from the pain and Johnson has to give Keith the match.

Koshiro Ino w/ Baroness Emily vs. Chris Rockwell

Two very different cultures, two very different styles. And they combine pretty well, ultimately, as both men are rooted in the same common desire; victory.

 

It's hard to say which the better man is; Ino might have a touch more precision, but Rockwell wrestles with a berserker fury that just keeps him going no matter what.

 

And that's the problem, twenty minutes in; both men are fading. Both men are battered. Rockwell blocks a Kobra's Bite for the third time, and this time succeeds in applying the Furusawa Armbar.

 

Ino twists, getting a foot to the ropes, and stays there for a moment before Rockwell rolls him back into the centre of the ring.

 

The Kobra fights to the ropes again, and it happens again... and again...

 

Eventually, Baroness Emily can't handle it any more. Rockwell gets raked across the eyes, releasing the hold and bailing after her. Eugene Williams watches, clearly avoiding calling for the DQ – until, that is, in defending herself, Emily punts Rockwell in the nuts.

 

As he topples, however, a camera catches Rockwell's expression; the pain lasting until the bell rings – and suddenly, Chris Rockwell smiles for an instant, before wincing again.

Back in the Syndicate's exclusive locker room, Tommy Cornell is in a foul mood. The Machines are in evidence, their lack of titles clear when flanked by Edd Stone and Sam Keith.

 

“We're meant to be keeping the belts,” Cornell growls, then glares daggers at Keith. “That was your job, Sam. Now look what it's cost us.”

 

“Yeah,” Keith deadpans. “Completely my fault that Tornado found a way to block us entirely.”

 

“Shut up, Sam,” Cornell growls. “He's going to be pulling the same crap in a minute, in my match.

 

“And my belt is the one that really matters.” That doesn't draw particularly fond looks from anyone. He levels a finger at the Machines. “From tomorrow you two are on protection duty. You lost your belt, you gotta make that up somehow.

 

“I walk out of the show tonight still the champion, Sam, or heads will roll.”

Tommy Cornell © vs. Troy Tornado

The word tonight is intensity. Tornado makes his way down to the ring first, his usual friendly energy gone, wrapped up into a single highly focused pose.

 

Cornell seems no less determined as he comes down. His music halts, Sam Sparrow collecting the belt to raise it high. As the belt is hoisted, If It Ain't Broke, Break It begins to play and the four members of Painful Procedure come down to ringside, surrounding the ring, facing outward.

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/BillyJackShearer.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/HarryAllen_Grunge3.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/RandallHopkirk.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/SteveGumble_Grunge2.jpg

Waiting.

 

Cornell's face is like thunder, but he doesn't let it get to him. The bell finally rings and the two men clash in the centre, the champion going for his usual lock-up only to meet a crisp standing dropkick.

 

The Armory's own audience, at least, seem ecstatic. Cornell finds himself subtly on the back foot throughout, fighting back, adopting an underdog style he hasn't had to use in seven years or more, fighting from under Tornado's assault.

 

And the crowd are with Tornado. At the worst of times, he's always playing to the crowd. He moves constantly, and everything that isn't offence is an appeal to the crowd. It's that kind of constant motion that earned him the name, and that now keeps the crowd so into his matches.

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/WolfHawkins_alt3.jpg

It's ten minutes or more before the Syndicate try something, though. Wolf Hawkins comes out, debates aid, and eventually, despite his limp, rushes for the ring. He gets cut off by Billy Jack Shearer with a massive forearm shot.

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/EddStone_alt13.jpg

So that doesn't work, but it's hardly the only thing they try. Eventually they get through – and it's Edd Stone who does it, running down the Hangtime structure to launch from the top, taking Troy all the way out of the ring with a massive missile dropkick. Harry Allen scrambles to cut Edd off and, in retribution, Steve Gumble catches Cornell with a Savate Kick.

 

The fight goes only a little longer; with the failure of his backup, Cornell gets desperate, and as he comes off the top rope, Troy Tornado snaps him out of the air with the Star Maker. The champion practically folds in half before he ever hits the mat, and the pin count sees everyone call along. Suddenly, TCW has a new World Heavyweight Champion.

Much appreciated. Excessive Force ended up a lot more important in the grand scheme of things than I'd anticipated. (ReapeR, if you're reading, we're still a month or three off your awesome new belt debuting, my apologies for the delay).

<p>Very good show, PS, even if I (would have) mucked up my predictions - Tyler, Keith (I would have picked Peak) and Rockwell winning all threw me, and I would have been 50/50 on the main event.</p><p> </p><p>

Still, I'm really enjoying the story you're telling. Tyler is a great character, the Syndicate tension, Bloodstone... They all have distinct characters, which makes for a good story.</p>

The Machines vs. Kingman & Alexander

Bigger team..Kingman and Alexander could do well in this division, but they won't a win this big yet.

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Frankie Perez

Perez has lost way up the card for a while, but this looks to be a winnable match.

 

Danny Fonzarelli & RDJ vs. Sam Keith & Wolf Hawkins

I appreciate that Fonzarelli's been given something of a serious push, and that he and RDJ are a semi-regular team..but I mean, come on. A win over Sam Keith? Or Wolf Hawkins, for that matter?

 

The New Wave vs. Miyazaki & Ota (non-title)

New Champs keep the momentum going.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

Considering he just defeated Wolf Hawkins, I can't see his momentum being halted already.

Koshiro Ino © w/ Baroness Emily vs. Tommy Cornell

I guess I'll pull for some sort of non-finish. Cornell winning the International title wouldn't really seem right, but it's still a tad early for Ino to beating TCW's franchise player. Maybe Ino gets the hard sell, and lasts for the 20 minute time limit?

The Machines vs. Kingman & Alexander

Machines to start the rebuilding process here.

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Frankie Perez

Frankie needs a win to retain his momentum up the card.

 

Danny Fonzarelli & RDJ vs. Sam Keith & Wolf Hawkins

Tommy's sure to put preassure on all syndicate members to get back to winning ways.

 

The New Wave vs. Miyazaki & Ota (non-title)

The champs won't loose this soon.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

Draw. Both guys just getting some momentum. Non finish here.

 

TCW International Championship

Koshiro Ino © w/ Baroness Emily vs. Tommy Cornell

Tommy will go over, but with some way to prevent him winning the title. He's way above the International title.

The Machines vs. Kingman & Alexander

The Syndicate gets back on form.

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Frankie Perez

PUSH ART REED... My, that wasn't subtle. Honestly it feels like you have bigger plans for Frankie, but Art's been but Art's going to have to start winning matches sooner or later (sure, he just showed up, but whatever.) Besides, he never gets a fair shake in most diaries.

 

Danny Fonzarelli & RDJ vs. Sam Keith & Wolf Hawkins

Danny Fonzarelli is out of his league with everyone in the ring, but I still think RDJ will pull it off, if only to further dissention in the Syndicate ranks and to set himself up as the first challenger to Keith's belt.

 

The New Wave vs. Miyazaki & Ota (non-title)

They just won the belts, and Miyazaki and Ota don't seem like they can pull the upset.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

Some sort of draw. Rockwell is probably destined to win the International title at some point, but Johnny just won a major match the other night. Maybe this will lead to a triple threat.

 

TCW International Championship

Via Shennanigans. Troy will probably run in and make the save. I think they both need a final, dramatic, gimmick filled feud ender to really seal the deal.

The Machines vs. Kingman & Alexander

 

Machines get back on track with a win over the jobber duo

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Frankie Perez

 

Perez seems to be getting more of a push with the whole, is he in the Syndicate or not angle. Reed is a solid worker but just comes off as Bloodstone's running mate right now, plus the fact that despite his in-ring talent he just has that stench of career mid-carder about him at this level of fed.

 

Danny Fonzarelli & RDJ vs. Sam Keith & Wolf Hawkins

 

Crisis ? What crisis for the syndicate ? Keith's the one Syndicate member with some positive momentum and Fonzarelli's clearly been teamed up with RDJ to do the job.

 

The New Wave vs. Miyazaki & Ota (non-title)

 

The new champs aren't going to lose to the foreign jobbers.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

Even though with his clean win over Hawkins, Bloodstone has slightly a bit more momentum right now, I think it's too early to job out Rockwell, so I see some kind of draw here. Some kind of schmozz ending would seem too cheap, so I see one of them being denied victory by the time limit.

I agree with the sentiments that Tommy will probably win the match here, but not the title, as he is above the International belt.
