TCW: A Quiet Retirement

[Zergon]

The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. School of Tradition w/ Laura Huggins

Close match but I think that the Keith Brothers should take this one mainly bacause they are feuding with syndicate

 

Acid Dragon w/ Laura Huggins vs. New Wave (non-title)

Even though it´s non-title I just don´t see New Wave losing here

 

TCW All Action Championship #1 Contendership Match

Hell Monkey vs. Frankie Perez vs. Sammy Bach

I kind of agree with Regis and Tigerkinney but I will still go with the face here so that we could have a normal face/heel match for the belt

 

STREETFIGHT MATCH

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

Tyler is feuding against Law while Andrews don´t have all that much going right now.

 

Champion vs. Champion (non-title)

Edd Stone vs. John Anderson

I go with Anderson since his title should have higher prestige

The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. School of Tradition w/ Laura Huggins

I may be overthinking this, but I think the Keith's even it up, leading to a series between equals, which causes Tyler to get frustrated with Sean Deeley

 

Acid Dragon w/ Laura Huggins vs. New Wave (non-title)

Keep the champs strong

 

TCW All Action Championship #1 Contendership Match

Hell Monkey vs. Frankie Perez vs. Sammy Bach

Edd Stone is a heel. TCW has a Strong face/heel divide (unless you changed something). Therefore, I vote on the only face in the match. Probably overthinking it, though.

 

STREETFIGHT MATCH

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

Eric's a DAVE legend. This is his home turf.

Anderson holds the bigger belt.

School of Tradition w/ Laura Huggins

Another hard-fought contest for much of its duration, one that really captivates the Hawaii crowd from the off.

 

After a little while, it does seem like the Keiths have the advantage, chiefly due to their youth compared to Joel Bryant and the speed advantage it gives them.

 

That's when things get awkward – Laura Huggins gets Sam Sparrow's attention and two of the School's stablemates hit the ring.

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/Acid_alt2.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/FreddyHuggins.jpg

Acid catches Greg Keith, wiping him out with an Acid Rain Bomb from the apron to the crowd barrier, and as Joel squares up to Matthew Keith, Freddy Huggins slides into the ring.

 

Deeley comes in illegally and grabs Matthew into a full nelson; Freddy measures him up and goes for the Huggins Kiss – and Matthew twists free. Freddy's foot crashes into Sean's face, dropping him instantly.

 

Laura shrieks on the outside, covering her mouth, watching events in the ring as Matthew backdrops Freddy out of the ring and onto Acid, then twists Joel Bryant into the Proton Lock to secure the submission.

 

Laura Huggins is already in the ring, checking on Sean Deeley.

 

“The twins get a win before their tournament match next week,” Saunders observes.

Sam Keith comes down to the ring, applauding, wreathed in smiles and with a microphone in hand.

 

“My boys,” he smiles. “Eighteen years old and fighting better'n some people twice their age.

 

“Four men against them in that ring and they came out on top. Come next Tuesday, they've got some other team to beat, and another the Tuesday after that, and they'll be challenging the New Wave for their tag team championships.

 

“You're going to have to forgive me... I'm proud of that.”

 

He grins. “It looks to me like Crunch Time is going to be very special for the Keith family...”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/GreaseHogg.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/LeadBelly.jpg

He doesn't get any further. The Easy Riders slide into the ring and jump his boys. Their assault is swift, and while Sam Keith goes to his kids' aid, it's only a temporary resolution.

 

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

After all, when Tommy Cornell hits you with a low blow from behind, you feel it.

 

And as the leader of the Syndicate takes advantage, locking down the Guilt Trip, Matthew Keith crashes to the canvas following an Emergency Stop... and Badge of Honor goes to commercial.

Acid Dragon w/ Laura Huggins vs. the New Wave

Speedy action from both Acid and UK Dragon, and their teamwork is clearly in evidence – but it's not really enough; the New Wave quickly overwhelm Acid (who appears to still be feeling the effects of his big move before the break) and toss him out, allowing them to take UK Dragon out with the Wave of Mutilation.

Backstage, and Eric Tyler is engaged in a pitched argument with Freddy Huggins. Sean Deeley stands between them, apparently trying to calm things down.

 

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

As Acid returns, Laura Huggins makes her presence known. Eric and Freddy's inarticulate yelling calms slightly.

 

“God,” she mutters. “I go out to help Acid in his match – I assumed you'd be done by now.”

 

“This is hardly something you can just brush off, Laura,” Tyler snarls. “This makes twice he's-”

 

“I know,” she says, cutting him off crisply. “And we're going to be spending some time making sure it doesn't happen again. But this is no way to prepare for your street fight, is it?”

 

Grudgingly, Tyler nods.

 

“Right,” she says briskly. “Now, Sean – did you get to the trainer?”

 

“Laura, he just kicked me in the face,” Deeley protests. “I mean, no offence, Freddy, it was a good shot, put me right down – but I'm fine. Don't worry about it.”

 

Laura Huggins stares at him, then back at her brother, biting her lip. “Fine,” she says at last.

Hell Monkey vs. Frankie Perez vs. Sammy Bach

A simply brutal fight, with Monkey and the P-Dawg both tending toward the brutal Japanese style and Bach more and more tending toward the violent end of his airborne repertoire.

 

Sammy seems somewhat aloof, it should be noted, often withdrawing and coming in to break up pinfalls and hit strong moves of his own.

 

Around nine minutes in, Frankie Perez counters the Tumbling Monkey and applies the P-Clutch. Sammy steps forward to intervene -

Teddy Powell rolls in to block him, holding a chair, as Sam Sparrow's attention is on the Monkey.

Sammy halts – and the crowd react, as Stevie Grayson climbs the turnbuckle behind him.

 

Grayson launches himself forward, grabbing Sammy into a bulldog that comes to a crashing end as Teddy swings the chair for his head.

 

Bach is left lying as Hell Monkey taps out.

Aaron Andrews vs. Eric Tyler w/ Laura Huggins

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

What a brawl. Sean Deeley arrives in the opening minute and for a little while the School of Tradition have this all their own way, working Aaron Andrews over hard.

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

Of course, it's not too long before Andrews' tag partner arrives to intervene, and for a little while it's two on two, until Laura Huggins low blows Joey Minnesota and Sean Deeley promptly dumps him from the ring.

 

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

That brings out the still-hurting Rick Law, who sprints down to the ring, met on the outside by Deeley. The Squad Car Slam puts him down; Law goes for the ring but Eric Tyler is there to meet him, and the two brawl for a couple of moments before Laura grabs Law's injured arm, blocking a punch. Tyler grabs the arm from her, twists, and lands a single-arm DDT.

 

The pain incapacitates Law as Andrews moves back to the attack; Huggins promptly thumbs him in the eye and Tyler gets the Weight of Tradition brainbuster to put him away.

Backstage, Karen Killer storms into the Easy Riders' locker room, snatching Billy Fonda's issue of Hustler away from him to get his attention.

 

“What the hell was that for?” she demands. “We have the Keiths scouted. We know we can beat them. Hurt them now and their opponents Tuesday might go through -”

 

“So we do the same Tuesday,” Hopper retorts. “We've got this figured, toots.”

 

“So you don't need me now? Is that what you're saying?” she snaps.

 

“That's right,” Fonda chimes in, standing up and stepping over to her. “We don't.

 

“Matter of fact, we signed some new contracts today.”

 

She stares between them. “With who?”

 

Fonda smirks. “Doesn't really matter to you, does it?

 

“Best get out the way before he takes over. No reason to hang around, is there?”

 

Karen Killer frowns, clearly annoyed. “I brought you in to deal with the last tag team that pissed me off,” she says. “You want me to do that again?”

 

“Who cares?” Hopper shrugs. “You do and we'll beat 'em.”

Edd Stone vs. John Anderson

Somewhat disappointing, this one. No particular reason for it, but it's just not a great match, as Stone and Anderson kind of just do their thing.

 

Oh, it's entertaining enough – just not great – and in the end, when Anderson puts Edd away with the Ammo Dump, nothing hugely special has transpired.

Sunday 14th October 2008

If I had my druthers, we probably wouldn't be signing big names right now. Sure, we're bringing up a couple of new people to add a little experience to the tag division – steady hands are always good to have – but someone new for the top, and a manager for them...

 

I'm not sure they fit brilliantly.

 

That said, Tommy wants this guy. I'm not sure how much of it's bolstering our main event – though I think he's capable of that – as much as Tommy's interested in weakening Richard Eisen's.

 

He almost didn't sign, I'll tell you that much. My suspicion is that being left off their latest PPV didn't help matters. But the big one was the manager.

 

The manager, who we closed the deal on a day or so later.

 

So that was kind of a gamble, right?

 

Still... It should be worth it. Much as I want to broaden the skillsets of people like Eddie Peak and others, so that they can handle wrestling people outside their own style, the fact remains that there's a divide in TCW.

 

On one side of this divide, there's the great technical experts. Brent Hill, Wolf Hawkins, Johnny Bloodstone, and so on.

 

On the other side, there are the big men, the brawlers. RDJ, Rick Law, Eddie Peak, Tyson Baine...

 

The great thing about people like Tommy Cornell is that they can work with either side, and we're starting to see more all-rounders emerge – Troy Tornado is handy against both groups, Sam Keith is excellent no matter who he wrestles, and all the rest.

 

Most of the technical side – I'd say everyone except Bloodstone, whose one-dimensionality would be distressing if he wasn't absolutely superb at what he does – can do more than just work a mat match, but RDJ is pretty unusual among the brawlers in being able to do the same – and yet, you've only got to look at the reaction to Baine's resurgence at present to know that these guys are a major part of TCW's appeal.

 

So while we continue to help Eddie and the rest learn other styles, we need something to keep them hot – and this guy definitely fits in there.

 

But he wouldn't sign until he heard who we planned to bring in as his mouthpiece.

 

And in one of those pleasant coincidences, telling the mouthpiece who his first client would be set a smile on his face.

 

It's going to be hell on the Internet, though; I don't think anywhere could bring Phil in without the fans making all kinds of assumptions that, pure and simple, we don't intend to support.

 

Still, he'll do well for us – and it's likely, as he noted, that he'll have an easier time than the other proposition he'd been made. He wouldn't give us all the specifics, but apparently one of the Canadian companies had been after him to mastermind their storylines.

 

It's a busy job, booking; this way he can ease back into it all.

 

I kinda wish I'd done the same, some days.

Start as you mean to go on, they say - and the first match scheduled for Total Wrestling this week is another International Championship defence for John Anderson. No word on who'll be challenging at the Crunch Time pay-per-view as yet, but with Anderson set to face Sean Deeley, there's a genuine question over which man they'll be up against.

 

The tag team tournament's second semi-final match can now be held, too. The Easy Riders are through, and the Keith Brothers will be squaring off against an unnamed team to see if they go through. We know this team have never been TCW tag champions - we're assured by Mr Midden that they have a significant championship pedigree elsewhere, through into 2008 itself. Who are they? What brings them to TCW? And can they topple Sam Keith's twin boys?

 

The American Buffalo will be in action later, taking on John Anderson's friend Brent Hill. Could he be gunning for a shot at the International Championship? Given his manager's recently-publicised issues, what exactly is going on with the Buffalo?

 

Sam Keith is set to square off with Chris Rockwell, too, despite recent injuries at the hands of Tyson Baine. We're just two weeks away from Keith and Cornell being locked in the Test of Steel - in my opinion, any wrestling is risky for Keith at this point ahead of that match, but you can't stop Keith competing, it seems.

 

And in the main event, Mr Cornell has made a match which, he tells us, is designed to familiarize Jeremy Stone with "how we do things in TCW". On the one side, Tommy Cornell tags with Jeremy Stone. On the other, Ricky Dale Johnson matches up with Jeremy's old nemesis Johnny Bloodstone.

Tag Team Tournament Qualifier

???? vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

The Keiths need to be in the tournament -- they're one of the 2-3 best teams you have now.

 

American Buffalo w/ Floyd Goldworthy vs. Brent Hill

My impulse is always to bet against Buffalo, but he maintains his position, so it stands to reason he's winning some matches I don't think he will.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Sam Keith w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

TCW heel Rockwell just doesn't work for me.

 

Jeremy Stone & Tommy Cornell vs. Johnny Bloodstone & Ricky Dale Johnson w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

As always, I need a reason to bet against Cornell.

[Tigerkinney]

TCW International Championship

John Anderson © vs. Sean Deeley w/ Laura Huggins

 

Routine defence for Anderson, Deeley hasn't been built up enough as a challenger.

 

Tag Team Tournament Qualifier

???? vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

Keith's soon to be on a bit of a roll now and I see them winning here heading into the Tag Title Tournament

 

American Buffalo w/ Floyd Goldworthy vs. Brent Hill

 

Buffalo gets frustrated and ends up getting himself DQ'd. Goldworthy then has the hard task of keeping his big dumb monster in control after the match.

 

Chris Rockwell vs. Sam Keith w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

Keith just seems to be getting the stronger, more focused push right now. You're definitely going down the one last good run route for Keith, rather than the he's old, so let's start him jobbing him out route.

 

Jeremy Stone & Tommy Cornell vs. Johnny Bloodstone & Ricky Dale Johnson w/ Blonde Bombshell

 

Got to back the Syndicate in this one.

As the show begins, Tommy Cornell stands in the centre of the ring, Wolf Hawkins and Jeremy Stone standing beside him.

 

“Troy,” he says. “We're going to start with you. You want to come out and face the music?”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TroyTornado_nacht6.jpg

There's a short pause, but the champion does so, walking down to the ring, microphone in hand, and climbing in to look at them.

 

“OK,” Cornell continues. “Like I say, we're starting with you. Way I see it, maybe you're champ. Maybe Bloodstone's champ. But when we take the belts off the pair of you, the problem solves itself.

 

“But you're the one who took it off me,” he says, taking a step toward the champ. “And that means we deal with you first.

 

“Now you've got this whole thing about taking on two guys at once, and since I can't challenge, and Tyson can't challenge...” He sweeps an arm to indicate Jeremy and Wolf.

 

“These are your opponents,” he grins. “Like Midden told me – fighting a war on two fronts is never smart, Troy...”

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/MayhemMidden.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/CharlieThatcher_nac2.jpg

Shout at the Devil suddenly plays, and Mayhem Midden, backed by Charlie Thatcher, strides down to the ring. “Nothing doing, Tommy,” he says.

 

“See, I'm not in a good mood with you or your boys – so you don't get to put both of them in the title match. You get one.

 

“Specifically, you get the Canadian Wrestling Machine.” He smiles. “Should make for a hell of a match, and unlike Hawkins he hasn't tried and failed recently.

 

“But that third slot Troy likes to keep open in his title matches is still open. I'll had to find someone to fill it...”

Unfamiliar music begins to play, and the brewing argument breaks off as people turn toward the entrance ramp.

 

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

“Let me do you a favour, Ken,” a voice – a very familiar voice to many wrestling fans, revisiting a much-used catchphrase – says over the speaker system. By the time Phil Vibert emerges, the crowd are already reacting.

 

He stands there, letting the crowd reaction wash over him, smirking slightly. “I'll cut right to the chase,” he begins. “This is not a takeover. This is me coming to take as much money out of this company's account as I possibly can.

 

“I want big contracts. I want pay-per-view royalties. I want my clients to swamp the merchandise table.

 

“I am going to make this company a fortune – and I'm going to take that fortune away with me.

 

“Now, you're talking about a free slot in a pay-per-view main event? Sounds like a good start to me – and I just happen to have the perfect client to fill that space. An athlete of truly...” He breaks off, looking around the fans, grinning... “supreme calibre.

 

“So here's the favour I'm going to do you, Ken... You set up a match next week – not Friday, no one cares about the B-list here, it's the C-list everywhere else – and the winner of that match goes through to fill that third slot.

 

“My client goes in it.

 

“I'm not asking for that slot for free, Ken. I don't need to. Whatever barriers you put in his way, we'll break.”

 

Troy Tornado nods, looking confident. Mayhem Midden looks more than a little worried.

John Anderson © vs. Sean Deeley w/ Laura Huggins

Well, this one turns into quite the exhibition early on. Anderson and Deeley work very different games, but they also both fight hard and really go for each others' throats.

 

There's gold on the line, of course – and it's clearly dear to Anderson and to Deeley. Occasional glimpses of Laura Huggins on the sidelines show her concern for her client when Anderson begins to turn up the offence, but that soon melts into an assured smile when Deeley comes back.

 

There's a point where Anderson catches Deeley on the ropes and armdrags him from them without looking; Sean crashes into Sam Sparrow, hard, and while it breaks his fall, it means that the Ammo Dump doesn't lead to a pin.

 

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

Laura looks extremely concerned, and Freddy Huggins appears from nowhere and slides into the ring. His initial attack is successful, but when he takes a moment to pose before going for the Huggins Kiss, John Anderson recovers, cutting him off with a desperation lariat. A second Ammo Dump follows, and Anderson rolls him out of the ring.

 

Laura Huggins glances down at him and shakes her head in disgust. Sparrow has recovered, and Anderson goes for the pin – one, two – Deeley counters to an inside cradle – one, two – Anderson reverses – one, two – Deeley reverses again, one, two, thr – Sparrow sees Deeley's foot on the ropes.

 

John Anderson breaks away for a moment, Sean follows him, the pair lock up and Deeley backs him into the corner -

 

And the bell rings, with twenty minutes played out.

Elite Express vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell

Bobby Thomas & Nate Johnson alt credit to jhd1

Seems like something of a surprise here in the newcomers, but they look good facing off against the Keiths, and it's pretty clear that they have all the understanding they need, functioning perfectly throughout their double teams.

 

The problem they have is just the sheer level of talent on the other side, and the fact their opponents have the kind of crowd support they do. Matthew and Greg give it everything and, ultimately, Greg wins through, trapping Bobby Thomas in the Proton Lock for a submission.

As the interview with Jeremy Stone resumes, Horatio Dangerous notes on commentary that it was recorded before Mayhem Midden barred Tommy Cornell from title contention...

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/HoratioDangerous_FIN6a.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/JeremyStone_alt1.jpg

Dangerous smiles slightly. “Quite the statement there,” he says. “But it does explain why you'd come to TCW. What I do have to ask is – why join up with the Syndicate? You say you have a limited time to make the biggest impact possible, and there's no question that the World Heavyweight Champion is tha man who does that. Last we heard, Tommy Cornell had made a rule that no one in the Syndicate could challenge for someone else's belt – isn't that going to cause you trouble?”

 

“Tommy isn't the champion right now,” Jeremy points out. “If I get there first? Or Tyson, or Wolf?

 

“Well, we'll deal with that bridge when I make Troy tap, put it that way.”

 

“You think you're a contender?”

 

Jeremy shrugs. “I know I will be,” he says, then sits forward. “You know how I know?”

 

Dangerous half-smiles. “I'd never expected you to have this kind of ego...”

 

“It's not ego, Harry,” Stone reiterates. “Who was in the main event at Destructive Energy?”

 

“Troy,” Dangerous says, “Tommy Cornell, and Johnny Bloodstone.”

 

“Right,” Jeremy grins. “Johnny Bloodstone, who put the Bloodstone Mutilation on Tommy. Who made him tap out.”

 

“Now,” Horatio interrupts. “That's a matter for deb-”

 

“You know as well as I do that that's bull****,” Jeremy snaps. “And Johnny Bloodstone learned everything he knows from me.

 

“My greatest student. But I've got his measure. I always have.

 

“If he could earn that place, so can I. If he could come out the winner even sort of, I can come out the winner – undisputed.”

 

There's a sudden pause as Dangerous lets that statement hang there.

American Buffalo w/ Floyd Goldworthy vs. Brent Hill

More proof that Brent Hill is an astonishing talent here, as despite Buffalo's recent losing ways and performance issues, this match remains extremely enjoyable to watch.

 

Buffalo still has a temper problem, and it's this that both makes him dangerous and allows Hill to outwit him. There's one or two major moments – when Buffalo stomps on Hill's gut, for example, the Machine snatches the foot in his hands and grapevines the leg with his own, twisting him around and doing some serious damage to Buffalo's ankle before he's shaken loose (which the Buffalo does by, using the ropes, lifting Brent into the air with a jumping legdrop).

 

The Stampede is avoided; the Colt Killer is blocked and countered into a sunset flip – which gets a long two – and the Buffalo is on the verge of diving from the ring to assault Goldworthy when Brent is taken down by a springboard leg lariat.

 

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

Donnie J poses for a moment, Eugene Williams' attention on Goldworthy – but he finds himself tossed out of the ring from behind.

 

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

Barry Kingman is Brent Hill's unlikely rescuer – or he tries to be. Buffalo promptly kicks him to the mat, though Brent capitalises – as the Buffalo's other knee buckles under his weight, Brent drives an elbow into it, taking him off balance. Picking himself up, he hits the ropes, and as the Buffalo turns to face him, Kingman leaps onto his back -

 

The result is that, as Hill tries a desperate jumping clothesline, Kingman gets his knees up such that, as the Buffalo falls backward, the backbreaker part of the Conquering Kings' Crippler Bomb is executed perfectly. Barry bails as Hill climbs to the top turnbuckle, coming off with a King of the Hill that nails the three count.

It looks like this should be an excellent contest, and both men look keen to get to it.

 

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TysonBaine_nachtfalter16.jpg

But we don't see much of it. Inside of three minutes, Tyson Baine is in the ring, seizing Keith and beginning a truly vicious assault.

 

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

He's followed mere moments later by Eddie Peak, who goes right after him – but a clearly irate Chris Rockwell gets involved, rapidly taking a Peak of Perfection. Ray Johnson is calling for a double-DQ when Shout At The Devil begins to play.

Once again backed by Charlie Thatcher, Midden stops on the entrance ramp.

 

“I pretty much only watch TCW these days,” he begins, once he has the attention of the four men in the ring. “You know why that is?

 

“It's because I can rely on a decent amount of these programs being wrestling. You know wrestling, right? The thing that brought us to this business? The thing that made us fans, that captured the hearts of the people sat all around you?

 

“Wrestling, not screwing around. It puts roofs over our heads. Takes us all around the United States and beyond. It's what I have been tasked by the Board of Representatives to make sure the good people who buy tickets to come here or tune in to watch us from home get to see. It's something, too, that all four of you are, when you want to be, extremely good at.

 

“You're doing the other thing. You're screwing around. Now, I'm not a fan of that – so you four, take a break, get your breath back. Because in a couple minutes, I'm restarting this match, this time with Eddie Peak alongside Sam Keith and Tyson Baine alongside Chris Rockwell.

 

“And I don't want to see any more screwing around, get me?”

Chris Rockwell & Tyson Baine vs. Eddie Peak & Sam Keith w/ Blonde Bombshell

The pace is a little bit slower, in part as Baine and Peak just can't keep up that rate, in part because suddenly everyone's aware just how dangerous Baine and Peak could be to them.

 

It is, nonetheless, good solid stuff all round, and despite Keith's injured condition Peak is able to carry much of his team's end, brawling to hold his own – but he's always going to get worn down in a situation like that.

 

And worn down he is, to the point where he really needs to make the tag – but he can't; as he turns, Sam Keith isn't at the post, and isn't visible. Baine spins him around and DDTs him – and Rockwell immediately tags in, sliding into the ring to begin battering away at the dazed Peak with his grounded knee strike.

That gets the pinfall as a picture-in-picture shows what happened to Keith; an assault by the Syndicate's Enforcers.

Jeremy Stone & Tommy Cornell vs. Johnny Bloodstone & Ricky Dale Johnson w/ Blonde Bombshell

Ricky Dale Johnson has been spinning his wheels without really doing much for a long time, and maybe that's what drives him here – difficult to say for sure, but what we can say is that he shows again why he's been one of TCW's biggest names for so long.

 

It's a flowing contest that manages the difficult task of moving from technical showcase to brawl and back to mat classic without losing the fury of the fight.

 

RDJ spends most of his time wrestling Jeremy Stone, Bloodstone primarily up against Tommy Cornell, with the old Canadian rivalry alluded to primarily by Jason Azaria on commentary. It's all that's really needed; the crowd is hot for all four men and everything they do seems to bring a fresh reaction.

 

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

In easily the best fight of the night, these four men push the envelope as far as they can, and the contest only ends when, with Jeremy Stone and Johnny Bloodstone both on the outside and Eugene Williams trying to hold the two apart, Chris Rockwell slides into the ring and nails RDJ in the small of the knee with something.

 

Instant replays show he was carrying a blackjack; it doesn't hugely matter. RDJ crumples, and Cornell immediately slaps on the Guilt Trip to make sure of the victory.

Cornell is joined by Edd Stone, Tyson Baine and Wolf Hawkins. One by one, the microphone is passed around them.

 

“Sam Keith,” Cornell begins. “At Crunch Time, you're going home in a ****in' ambulance.”

 

“Frankie Perez,” Edd Stone follows on, “I'm a better dancer than Danny Fonzarelli. At Crunch Time, your VIP streak ends.”

 

Wolf Hawkins takes the microphone next. “I'm free to take on anyone,” he says quietly. “At Crunch Time, you better pray it's not you.”

 

Baine takes the microphone, then hands it back to Hawkins. Looking directly into camera, he glowers. “Eddie Peak,” he growls, “you can still get a job somewhere else.

 

“When I break your leg, that window closes. Leave... before your Crunch Time.”

Friday 21st October 2008

The party's started early today. We're backstage at Perry Hall and, where normally the alcohol doesn't start flowing until the main event is under way, this time around everyone's having a couple early. It's Karen Killer's last night with the company tonight, though I'm sure she'll be active again soon enough. Either USPW or SWF could probably use her, and might well be able to lure her in.

And unless I miss my guess, she's currently flirting with her replacement. That could make for some interesting press, if anything comes of it...

 

Eric, Joel, and Sam are making sure no one gets too heavy into the beer before they go out there, but half the roster aren't due to make appearances, and they're taking full advantage of the situation. Tyson is already into a long story about Karen, himself, and Rip Chord on the road, and I'm glad I can sit backstage tonight and listen to what looks like a night of anecdotes.

 

(Even if I'm gonna need to concentrate on other things.)

 

–

 

Karen just came by, as usual, to talk over her stuff tonight. I thank her again for her willingness to do this kind of thing, and she grins; I ask her if she's got anything scheduled yet, and she changes the subject.

 

I apologise that we couldn't see eye to eye on the contract – though I'm damned if I know why I'm apologising – and she makes a joke out of it. Eventually talk turns to a possible return a year or two down the road; I tell her I'll keep her in mind if the right kind of heel needs a manager, but don't sit by the phone waiting.

 

Eventually, we talk about commentary. I get the impression that Karen's trying to figure out what her career's going to be like past the big 4-0; she's a workaholic, no question. I don't think it'll be too long before she picks up the book for somewhere or other – which conjures up a vision, for a moment, of the rock-chick gothic aesthetic running through the SWF...

 

I'd actually watch that.

Tag Team Champions the New Wave are in action to start us off this coming Friday, once again squaring off with the underrated British Invasion. O'Curle and Morgan are yet to notch up a win, but both single and as a team, they've given people with much greater reputations serious trouble. Could this be the day?

 

The Kobra, a couple of weeks ago, took on Shingen Miyazaki, and while Koshiro Ino walked away with the victory there Miyazaki seemed to have earned his respect. This week, Miyazaki's tag partner Fumihiro ota will be the one to provide Ino with an opponent and a challenge.

 

A Hangtime Match will be on Friday's card. Requested by Edd Stone, Mayhem Midden has decided that it will be a four-man match. The other participants? Stevie Grayson, Teddy Powell... and Wolf Hawkins. Will the Syndicate coexist better than the Disrespected? And what has Wolf done to earn that level of anger from Mayhem Midden?

 

Art Reed is teamed with the Hell Monkey against the Fly Boys, later. The Boys seem embroiled in another war, one of their own making, and Reed and the Monkey have no real teaming history that we know of - but it promises to be a fast-paced match, assuming the Boys' rivals and allies don't get involved.

 

Tommy Cornell makes a rare in-ring appearance this Badge of Honor - he's going to be taking on Aaron Andrews. Cornell has stated that he wishes to test "the best of the rest" and has evidently begun by setting his sights on the first and only graduate of TCW's training program. Can Aaron pull out what it needs to impress Cornell? Should he even risk doing so? What's he being tested for?

 

And in the main event, Rick Law has asked us to apologise for his breaking a rule he established a little less than a month ago - Eric Tyler will be returning to Badge of Honor's main event slot, teaming with Acid and Sean Deeley to take on Rick Law and allies Joey Minnesota and John Anderson.

Ota haven´t done much so Ino takes this one

 

HANGTIME MATCH

Edd Stone vs. Stevie Grayson vs. Teddy Powell vs. Wolf Hawkins (non-title)

This one is probably hardest to predict but I go with Stone winning even though it´s non-title

 

Art Reed & Hell Monkey w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. the Fly Boys w/ Floyd Goldworthy

I break predictions 101 rule here and go with random pairing over named tag team mainly bacause I expect Buffalo interfering and causing a DQ loss to Fly Boys

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Tommy Cornell

No really ... I think that Cornell can get a win here

 

Acid, Eric Tyler & Sean Deeley w/ Laura Huggins vs. Joey Minnesota, John Anderson & Rick Law

Isn't this match Edd Stone's invention ? I'll tip him to win the match, could easily be Hawkins..either way one of them will come out on top against Team 'Marty Jannetty'

 

Art Reed & Hell Monkey w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. the Fly Boys w/ Floyd Goldworthy

 

Fly Boys may have more experience as a team, but I just don't see them winning this match here. I feel you see Reed and Monkey as having more potential to rise up the card and wouldn't want to hurt their progress by having them lose to what is essentially a glorifed Jobber team.

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Tommy Cornell

 

Maybe in 2015 Aaron Andrews.

It's Edd's match, and Grayson and Powell will screw Wolf.

 

Art Reed & Hell Monkey w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. the Fly Boys w/ Floyd Goldworthy

I think either a DQ from Buffalo-ference or else just a straight triumph over jobbers.

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Tommy Cornell

No, seriously.
