TCW: A Quiet Retirement


Recommended Posts

Prediction Key:

TCW Tag Team Championship

The New Wave © vs. Easy Riders w/ Karen Killer

Easy riders aren't on the same level as the New Wave and their focus is on Painful Procedure anyway.

 

TCW Hard-Hitting Championship

Sam Keith © vs. Sammy Bach

Outside interference, when Cornell or Stone clock Bach just to cause Sam to lose the match, but not the title till one of the Syndicate can take it.

 

Acid w/ Laura Huggins vs. Hell Monkey

Hell Monkey makes a good test, but he doesn't have the School of Tradition backing him

 

JD Morgan vs. Ricky Dale Johnson

tough test, but really no contest.

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

Hawkins is still hovering around #1 contendership. A loss here would kill his credibility for that.

 

The Machines vs. Koshiro Ino & Troy Tornado w/ Baroness Emily

While this could rebuild the Machines by a beating of both singles champions, I think you are going to hedge your bets till Hill's status is settled.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

I think a double DQ or time limit Draw most likely to keep this going.

TCW Tag Team Championship

The New Wave © vs. Easy Riders w/ Karen Killer

Not the right time for the New Wave to drop the straps. I smell interference.

 

TCW Hard-Hitting Championship

Sam Keith © vs. Sammy Bach

Again, Sam's not dropping the belt on an unannounced match. Also possible screwy finish.

 

Acid w/ Laura Huggins vs. Hell Monkey

School of tradition FTW.

 

JD Morgan vs. Ricky Dale Johnson

A nice win for RDJ.

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

No way Wolf's loosing this one.

 

The Machines vs. Koshiro Ino & Troy Tornado w/ Baroness Emily

I'm probably wrong here, but I'm a believer in the idea that if a couple of singles main eventers are teaming together on a once off basis against a well oiled upper midcard level tag team, the tag team should win. My logic being that if you have a match between a couple of singles specialists with no real history together verses a tag team that's on a bit of a roll, then in a tag match, the team should be able to exploit the makeshift team's ineperience together. On the other hand, most other people seem to disagree with me on this (or maybe it's just VinnieMac:D). Also the contract status of Hill could throw this off.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

A loss will mean little to Rockwell, while to me Bloodstone's being groomed for a title shot sooner rather than later. Possible post match shenanigans to keep the heat.

Believe me when I say I'm on edge here. Yes, the Machines have taken quite the drop over the past month or so - but that doesn't mean I don't love both of those guys, and Brent in particular could easily take a shot at the main event before he's 40. (See: Zeel1's game, apart from anything else.)

 

The Machines and The New Wave are my two favorite C-V teams. Part of the reason I like TCW so much, I think. Always kind of preferred the Machines, though. TNW get the "best tag team in the world" hype due to their experience, and rightfully so. But Hill and Anderson are individually better workers than Guide and Scout, so I've always figured if you could get The Machines up to A* experience, they would easily take over as the best team in the game. And you are right - both Hill and Anderson can be singles stars.

The New Wave © vs. Easy Riders w/ Karen Killer

Not with so little build-up - and The New Wave need some screen time to give them more credibility.

 

TCW Hard-Hitting Championship

Sam Keith © vs. Sammy Bach

Not yet. Not by a long shot.

 

Acid w/ Laura Huggins vs. Hell Monkey

No God push for Hell Monkey.

 

JD Morgan vs. Ricky Dale Johnson

I have some inside dope on JD's future in the company, but still can't see RDJ losing here.

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

Wolf needs wins to keep Tommy sweet.

 

The Machines vs. Koshiro Ino & Troy Tornado w/ Baroness Emily

The Champs take down the guys the Syndicate looks set to lose soon.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

Rockwell's better all-round game gives him more of an in to the Main Event scene.

If you haven't noticed from my '97 diaries, Brent Hill is the man.

New Wave aren't going to drop their belts this early in their reign plus Easy Riders focus is elsewhere

 

TCW Hard-Hitting Championship

Sam Keith © vs. Sammy Bach

 

Can't see Keith dropping his belt here either

 

Acid w/ Laura Huggins vs. Hell Monkey

 

Acid has had a little more time to get over with the TCW fanbase plus he has the School backing him.

 

JD Morgan vs. Ricky Dale Johnson

 

Routine win for RDJ

 

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

 

Simple case of a borderline main eventer in Hawkins going over the midcarder in Reed

 

The Machines vs. Koshiro Ino & Troy Tornado w/ Baroness Emily

 

The Machines have been having some problems of late, so I can't see them going over the super duo of World Champion Troy Tornado and International champ Koshiro Ino.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

Bloodstone will get in the title picture eventually but right now you have a face as the champion, therefore it makes sense to keep potential challengers on the heel side of things strong.

<em>I can't see either the tag or hard-hitting belts changing hands here. I think Acid is probably more likely to feature prominently in your shows than Hell Monkey over time, so I'll go with him. RDJ and Hawkins both get tough workouts but should both go over. The Machines aren't currently positioned to stop the likes of Tornado & Ino. And the last match is tough to call and a match I'd be wanting to see live - I'll go with Rockwell, who is someone I've never used in a C-verse game but kind of want to!</em></p>

The New Wave © vs. Easy Riders w/ Karen Killer

The Easy Riders' second televised TCW match is certainly better received than their first, and you couldn't ask for a better demonstration of the gap between Painful Procedure and the New Wave than this.

 

The Riders stick to a dominant high-power style, while the Wave show some real flex – and they need to, as their challengers take them to the limit. At ringside, Karen Killer is actually toting a tyre iron – but her attention's not on the ring; she's watching the entrance ramp nervously.

 

Inside the ring, meanwhile, the Riders manage to get the upper hand in the early going and brutalise Scout, who despite his technical acumen is having difficulty with the raw power the Riders are able to put together. A tag from Hopper brings Billy Fonda into the ring; the two double-hip-toss Scout, catching him in a seated position as he comes over, before hurling him upward into the air.

 

Fonda moves to catch him in a sitout powerbomb as Hopper snags his neck for a flying neckbreaker; the crowd take a moment of stunned silence before exploding in approval, and the count reaches two and seven eighths before Guide's missile dropkick breaks up the pin. It's another ten seconds before Scout's recovered, but Guide covers for him, a whirlwind of punches to both Riders.

 

Guide staggers Hopper and drops back a pace, looking for the Guided Missile; a recovered Scout dropkicks Fonda into it's path and Guide's spear leaves all three men winded. Scout promptly rolls Hopper out of the ring and the New Wave, shakily, climb opposite turnbuckles before leaping off, crashing into Fonda with the Wave of Mutilation. Scout promptly covers. And all the while, Karen Killer has been watching the entrance ramp, waiting for an attack that never came...

Applause comes from the ramp now, and Killer tenses; but it's Eric Tyler, accompanied as always by Laura Huggins, who emerges this time, and Killer visibly relaxes, leading her men backstage.

 

“Nice work,” Tyler says. “Those two look like tough bastards, but you pulled it out all the same.

 

“Seems to me, though, that last month there was a time you didn't pull it out. My boys – my School of Tradition – had you beat.

 

“Now, last month, you had a deal with the Young Guns about title defences. You couldn't put the belts on the line agains them.

 

“But this month, who knows?”

 

He pauses. The New Wave, once members – as Azaria reminds us – of the DaVE version of the School of Tradition, regard their former leader dubiously.

 

“So here's what I think. Hotter Than Hell, the New Wave and the School of Tradition, Joel Bryant and Sean Deeley. You still got the balls you used to have, boys?”

 

The Wave look at each other for a long moment, then simply nod.

Sam Keith © vs. Sammy Bach

The really impressive thing about Keith is just how rapidly he can shift gears. As he faces Bach he appears to be wrestling in a completely different style to the approach shown in the tag match. He chooses to step up his pace to be as close to Bach's as he can get, and the result is somewhere between traditional lucha libre and a brawl.

 

Keith doesn't have speed on Bach, but he has size, and at one point he blocks a leaping lariat attempt, catching Sammy and whirling him around before planting him with a slam.

The following pin cover is unsuccessful, however, as Sparrow was downed by a stray boot of Sammy's during the whirlwind – which prompts Teddy Powell's arrival and a Motion Censor as Bach makes his way back to his feet. Keith takes a moment to watch, and as he does, Cornell blindsides him with a chair to the back of the head...

 

Powell tries to clear Cornell out of the ring, but is rebuffed – a chairshot for him, and as he staggers back Bach low blows him, then drags him over into a Bach on your Back.

 

Cornell watches, smirking, as Bach's fury – his mistake. A low blow follows for him, and Keith spins him around and lands the NeutronPlex before booting him out of the ring.

 

Sam Sparrow is beginning to stir, and Keith dropkicks Bach, breaking his hold on Powell, and rapidly applies one of his own. By the time Sparrow is awake, Bach has tapped, his expression utterly blank...

Acid w/ Laura Huggins vs. Hell Monkey

A blast from WLW's recent past ensues, and as Azaria notes, both men are wrestling very much the style they'd been using in Japan. It goes down well here, too, picking up the pace yet again, slowing only for the very occasional Hell Monkey slam.

 

Both men seem exactly evenly matched throughout, but as Hell Monkey staggers Acid and goes to the ropes for the Tumbling Monkey, he stumbles. As he turns to regard a nonchalant Laura Huggins, Acid's boots catch him in the back of the head; he whiplashes off the rope, crashing to the mat, and the Acid Rain Bomb finishes moments later.

Backstage now, and Sam Keith looks thoughtfully into the camera. “People have been saying,” he says, “that me and Tommy Cornell is bigger than the title I carry.

 

“That the title is irrelevant.

 

“You know what? That's why, if I still hold it, I'll put it on the line.

 

“The job of a champion – the duty of a champion – is to make his championship mean something, especially if the championship is new.

 

“So Tommy...” Keith smiles grimly. “That's on the line. You and me... We've got our own differences, and there are enough other reasons I want to beat you right now. You kicked me out. You can claim whatever you want about why.

 

“I wanted the Syndicate to stick together. To back each other up. YOU said concentrate on title matches. I get kicked out and next week, what happens? Suddenly your buddies are back to backing you up.

 

“So you're lying. You just have a problem with me? And you know what? Fine. Whatever. I've had wrestlers decide they had problems with me all my career, right and wrong, and I've dealt with it.” He clears his throat nervously.

 

“Now, though, you're causing whatever other issues. My wife...” He swallows. “My wife is worried about...” His expression turns to a snarl. “You and I handled all the paperwork to get my sons jobs here months ago. You signed them, Tommy.

 

“Now you've got lawyers contesting it? These are eighteen year old boys! They've wanted nothing more, all their life, than to wrestle. They've trained with the best. I spared no expense – I went to the best – called in every favour from every friend I ever made in this business.

 

“They could have gone anywhere. Every college in the country was offering them scholarships to come and wrestle, and you,” he spits the word. “YOU told me it would be fine. YOU put them on the fast track.

 

“YOUR lawyer is screwing them out of their chance, because you have a problem with ME. This is nothing to do with them!” He's red-faced with emotion now, the hair on his head waving as he shakes with barely suppressed fury. “For that, Tommy – for that I owe you big time. Payback begins now.”

JD Morgan vs. Ricky Dale Johnson

It's RDJ against JDM, and while everyone knows how it's going to end, they seem to enjoy watching it get there.

 

Morgan picks a careful pace, his strategy to stay clear and capitalise on mistakes, but RDJ isn't in a forgiving mood and he's not making many mistakes. Morgan fights hard and works all he can, but in the end, the Southern Justice was always expected.

Heading out to the ring together now are Tommy Cornell and Tyson Baine. Baine appears to be all smiles, and Cornell's usual smirk is in place, though as he heads out there's a preoccupied light in his eyes.

 

“So now,” he begins, “it's official. Tyson Baine, the Syndicate's sixth man.

 

“Not that this is entirely a new thing...” He smirks.

 

“To this day, Ricky, I can't believe you bought it.”

 

RDJ, who by this stage was right on the edge of vanishing backstage, stops and turns back, hands on hips, watching.

 

Baine grins, and casually draws a thumb across his throat.

 

“See, way back last year,” Cornell smiles, “way back when Ricky here was on the roll of his life, I knew I was in trouble.” A rare concession from the champ, who nods acknowledgement to RDJ as he gives it. “You just kept rising to the top, Ricky. I couldn't keep you away. Couldn't lock you off.

 

“Matter of fact, trying back then is what started up all my trouble with the Board. And you're good enough to give me problems. You kept getting closer.

 

“So I got help. You knew that, Ricky. But you only knew the half of it.” Baine smirks. “Hell,” Tommy continues. “We're coming up close to a year, now, since that match at Destructive Energy, aren't we? The one where Sam showed up and worked you over so hard you couldn't get back before Psycho Circus?”

 

“But by the time you got back... Remember Psycho Circus, Ricky? I do... Look.” He points to the big screen, which rolls some archive footage...

 

The match is the triple-threat Psycho Circus main event; RDJ. Baine, freshly face turned. And Cornell, the champion. In this edited form, we see the big moments where RDJ and Baine collide, especially the ones where Baine gets the advantage. As RDJ sets up for a final Southern Justice on Cornell, an apparently blinded Baine – 'blinded' by a thumb to the eye from Cornell – grabs hold of his throat, chokeslamming him, and Cornell covers to retain.

 

“So innocent,” Tommy says, grinning. “Happens all the time in a triple threat. And so you missed out on Malice in Wonderland. But you were right back for The War To Settle The Score, weren't you?

 

“So proud of the team you put together. So certain that this Cage Wars was going to destroy the Syndicate, and that you'd get the credit.” He gestures at the big screen again.

 

The Cage Wars cage is packed; the Syndicate on one side, RDJ, Baine, Golden, Law and Peak on the other. This clip is from right at the end; RDJ, Peak and Baine are standing tall, if bloodied, as everyone else reels, dazed, bloody and stunned. Peak whips Cornell into RDJ, who grabs him -

 

SOUTHERN JUSTICE! Hawkins makes a dive, and Baine grabs him by the neck, his back to the action. The crowd roar as RDJ covers, expecting to see Wolf take punishment as RDJ wins the day-

 

Baine's chokeslam sees him pivot on the spot. Hawkins crashes down across RDJ, breaking the pin cover. Moments later, Eugene Williams glances across and sees Rocky Golden tapping out in a Proton Lock no one even saw Sam Keith apply.

 

Cornell grins. “Once is happenstance,” he says. “Twice is coincidence. Three times...”

 

This clip is far more recent. Tyson Baine delivers Hades Bombs to Keith and Tornado last week.

 

“Three times,” he says again, “is enemy action, Ricky. And it's enemy action for Keith, too.

 

"Because I knew..." He warms to his theme. "I knew if word got out, the double agent was dead. So I couldn't let Sam know, or Wolf, or John and Brent.

 

"So I had my own secret agent, waiting in the wings...”

Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Wolf Hawkins

Nothing like the topsy-turvy reveals of the prior minutes here; just good, solid action that lets the fans get back into the swing of it all. Hawkins and Reed fight a good, even match until a slam seems to jar Reed's shoulder, leaving him vulnerable to a renewed assault.

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/StevieGrayson_alt1.jpg

As Reed takes a breather at ringside, being checked on by the Bombshell and referee Sam Sparrow, Stevie Grayson appears behind Hawkins. A low blow doubles Wolf over, and a chair on the canvas leads to a DDT onto the chair before Grayson makes himself scarce.

 

Reed, meanwhile, is still recovering. By the time he gets back in, Hawkins is mostly recovered – and grabs him for a quick cradle, putting much of his opponent's weight on that injured shoulder to prevent a kickout.

The Machines vs. Koshiro Ino & Troy Tornado w/ Baroness Emily

Starting off strong, this one picks up in pace as the match goes on, with both sides relying on frequent tags to refresh themselves. Near-falls come fast and furious from twelve minutes in onwards, culminating in a massive final sequence.

 

Ino tries to hit Anderson with the Kobra Bite, but the Machine ducks it, boots him in the gut, and hits the Ammo Dump. Two and a half seconds later, Tornado breaks it up with a boot to Anderson's head. Anderson tags out and Hill goes for the Complete Package submission, and Tornado pulls him clear – at which point Hill grabs his wrist, whips him to the ropes, and lets Anderson back in. An Ammo Dump to Tornado sees the champion kick out with a moment's spare time only; the Tornado Driver is his response, but Hill breaks it up with the King of the Hill splash.

 

Ino promptly bundles him out of the ring, and Tornado and Anderson spend a moment recovering. Anderson makes it first, leaping over Tornado in a sunset flip – and the champ kicks out again, at which point Anderson tags out. Another King of the Hill follows, and once again Ino has to make the save. A Kobra Bite lays Hill out, but John Anderson blindsides him. Tornado promptly hurls Anderson out of the ring, only for Hill to come in behind him with a high knee, spilling Tornado out too. With Ino and Hill alone in the ring, the Kobra's Bite hits. One, two -

 

The bell rings a fraction early, and it takes a moment to realise why – but the match has gone to the twenty minute time limit.

Tornado picks himself up and starts to catch his breath after that frenetic final sequence. Meanwhile, Anderson grabs a microphone – rare behaviour for the Machine.

 

“Wait,” he gasps out. “Guys, wait...”

 

Climbing back into the ring, he joins his partner as they regard their opponents, all four men showing the wear and exhaustion of their battle.

 

“Wait,” Anderson says again. “We were...” He runs out of breath, and Hill accepts the microphone to continue.

 

“We were watching earlier,” he says. “Eric Tyler just came out and made a challenge, and the champions accepted.

 

“It's been so long since that happened easy, I guess we just weren't used to it. But John and me, we've been talking...”

 

Anderson takes the microphone back. “Koshiro, I want to be the man who takes you on at Hotter Than Hell. For the title.”

 

Ino looks back, impassive, and a quick cutaway shows Baroness Emily suddenly worried as she mentally replays the match.

 

“I know,” Anderson continues, “that you've got issues with Rockwell, but, well, nothing's been signed yet, and...”

 

Breakin' The Law, Cornell's theme, starts to play. Hurried, Hill grabs the microphone. “And Troy, I want to see about your belt, same time.”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TommyCornell_alt5.jpg

The camera had cut to the entrance and a pissed off Cornell by the time Hill made his challenge, but that's handy – the anger turns to full on rage, and the camera catches it perfectly. Hurried replays show Tornado's surprise shading into a slight, thoughtful expression, and even the nervous hand-in-the-cookie-jar looks on the Machines' faces as they look at Cornell.

 

For his part, the company owner stands there for a few moments, then shakes his head and walks backstage.

 

“Speechless?” Azaria speculates.

Chris Rockwell vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell

After watching this match, it'd be tough to say which of these two men is actually better. A perfectly even series of back-and-forth exchanges keeps the fans into each shift in momentum throughout.

 

Both men work the other's shoulder, both weakening their opponent's finishing hold and setting up for their own. Bloodstone seems to have that legendary temper now firmly in check, at least when the Bombshell is in view, and Rockwell's attempts to goad him don't go well.

 

The back-and-forth continues until, finally, Rockwell makes a mistake, charging when Bloodstone was ready. A takedown follows and Bloodstone grabs his arms, flipping forward to cinch in the Bloodstone Mutilation, and Rockwell struggles – and struggles – and can't get free -

 

And Frankie Perez is ringside, right where Bloodstone can see him. Bloodstone looks wary, and makes the slightest of shifts to be ready for an attack -

 

Rockwell seizes the moment, powering Bloodstone over and grabbing the Furusawa Armbar, working it frantically. After a long, long fight, Bloodstone finally has to tap.

Chris Rockwell defeated Johnny Bloodstone

Wednesday 10th August 2008

My world just shifted.

 

Well, to be fair, the world of other wrestlers just shifted. By the time I got home there were forty-five messages on my cellphone.

 

The first was from Tommy. A few were from TCW employees. Fifteen were from wrestling news websites, interviews, radio shows, and the few remaining dirtsheets. That made up a little over half.

 

The remainder were from SWF-contracted talents, and out of respect I won't name any of them.

 

The subject was the same thing in every case. Someone in SWF middle-management has started looking for a new job, and after last night's show the news got out – who published it, I don't know, but it came with the revelation that the SWF are not going to be offering written contracts for the next six months or so.

 

Evidently this follows worries from the accounts department, essentially due to pressure from sponsors, shareholders and the rest; Richard Eisen's investors aren't currently willing to guarantee pay to people for work they might not be doing.

 

At the same time, we're in a position where our PPV buyrates are going up, where Total Wrestling just broke our ratings record last night – off the back of an instalment where Tommy Cornell didn't even wrestle – and things are really changing.

 

The straw that broke the camel's back appears to have been last night's broadcast of Supreme TV. Held, for reasons I feel we can now explain, in a 5,000 seat arena – though to be fair, they sold it out – it was a pretty so-so show, with Christian Faith continuing to be fed to Runaway Train and Steve Frehley's feud over the title with Eric Eisen spiced up a little by the addition of Remo in a main event triple threat.

 

My prediction is that tomorrow, at Welcome To The Jungle, Remo will be the one punished, but the fact honestly is that those SWF talents who can deliver are simply not being given the opportunities.

 

Thursday 11th August 2008

Remo didn't wrestle last night. Somewhat abruptly, Eric Eisen became embroiled in a feud with Christian Faith, aiding Genghis Rahn – who still lost – against Faith in the semi-main which was, frankly, not well received – but then, Genghis Rahn has done nothing but job to people far weaker than Faith.

 

In the main event, with zero build, Steve Frehley took on Vengeance while Eric Eisen got a win over star signing Brandon James – which I guess is their response to the fact Eisen/Frehley is not delivering.

 

The whole PPV shrieks 'no direction'. Akima Brave is wrestling his former tag partner, with nothing indicating a split in the offing. The Shooting Star Title, off of no build, was higher on the card than Rich Money's North American title defence – and it was neither received as well nor as good.

 

Strong talents like Remo and Angry Gilmore were nowhere to be seen. The whole thing is... awkward. Reviews are worse than for Tuesday's show, and from what I've seen of both, for good reason.

 

TCW is being acclaimed the winner in the war with the SWF. I have one word for this: Premature.

So Supreme finally dropped? Very interesting. That opens up some possibilities for you if any of their talent comes up on contract during that period. Just remember - if you manage to sign Rich Money, he's money.

 

Good show, as well.

 

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing who does come available. There's four or five SWF talents I'd love to snatch, plus some non-wrestlers.

<p>I'm glad Tristam highlighted that promo. I liked it when I read through it initially. But after re-reading it, I very very much like it. It does so much for Keith, Cornell, and their situation. And the Keith boys being mentioned makes the emotion of Sam seem very real, much like the Flair promo that Tristam compares it to. </p><p> </p><p>

At the risk of a bit of "off-topic" on-topic discussion, Sam Keith isn't the easiest character to get a handle on, in my opinion. When you consider his history, at least. He's decently Entertaining, but not amazing in that regard - and you wouldn't think that would be something which he lost with age. For someone who was tops in the SWF for so long, I would kind of expect him to be better in that regard. He wasn't just any other worker for the SWF but one of their key players and one of their primary heels (I would guess, at least). Was he like Sean McFly, at the top just becuase he's that damned good? Just one of those of those things I've always wondered about. When you're trying to find a characterization - or even a real work model - for him, its an aspect that I think makes it tough. </p><p> </p><p>

I have to admit I do like the Flair paralells. Their legendary status obviously works. But I can just picture Sam Keith as launching into those impassioned, ranting promos that Flair did at times. And if you use the approach of that being Keith's real personality coming through when he does those promos, then I don't think his relatively mediocre Acting skill makes any difference. </p><p> </p><p>

And congrats on getting three works into the Must Read list, PS. Well-deserved!</p>

<p>When it comes to Keith comparisons, i've always imagined him vocally and characteristically as a Benoit mirror. A gruff, tough, man of few words, who kicks arse and takes names like a somewhat-more-civilized Steve Austin - he picks his fights and makes grudges only with those who get in his way.</p><p> </p><p>

But this Flair-esque model works just as well, especially considering his history. Great promo, could be seen as a real milestone of this diary <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
