A Word From the Writer

Sorry for the lenghty delays. Laptop died with all my notes on it. However, all is not lost because I was planning on restarting the game in a sense anyway due to the database updates.

I won't be restarting the diary completely, what has been written should hold true no matter what happens. A few minor things might change but hopefully nothing too extreme.

Anyway, I'll be burning through the catch up period as quickly as possible so we can get this story back on track.

A Word From the Writer

Sorry for the lenghty delays. Laptop died with all my notes on it. However, all is not lost because I was planning on restarting the game in a sense anyway due to the database updates.

I won't be restarting the diary completely, what has been written should hold true no matter what happens. A few minor things might change but hopefully nothing too extreme.

I'll post show recaps and monthly news items if necessary to re-catch up the diary to itself. There isn't going to be any major changes to any of the storylines so everything should proceed about the same as it was. The only major difference is that instead of hiring Rhino Umaga, I'll probably be hiring Larry Wood now that he's a liberal character and will actually be willing to negotiate with me.

Again, nothing major because Rhino hadn't been the focus of anything at this point, but that's the only major change on my end. We'll see what the AI ends up doing...

Anyway, I'll be burning through the catch up period as quickly as possible so we can get this story back on track.

Database updates?

Database updates?

Yep. You can download the updated data files at

http://www.greydogsoftware.com/cornellverse

The changes are pretty minor, and I didn't notice anyone in PSW being majorly impacted, but supposedly it fixed a lot of conservative/liberal confusions. When the original DB was released, I was a little surprised to see so many hardcore legends being listed as "conservative" or even "very conservative" (see Larry Wood). This update fixes that.

The update was released Feb 4th but I didn't find out about it until last week.

praguepride · February 25, 2010

Saturday, Week 2 February 2010 The following evening, the PSW locker room assembled at the Ministry for a celebration of their own. Mitch had hung up the traditional "Farewell" banner. Food and drink was abundant, and JD Morgan was already plowing through a bottle of Jack when Mitch took the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm saddened to report the depature of two of our finest. Phunk, when you joined us, we gained a full 2.6% increase in merchandise sales. And you, Parker, have been the main attraction for our female fans. Survey's indicate that for 87% of them, you're the main attraction." Phunk just ****ed an eyebrow at the unusual manner of Mitch's praise. Parker looked uncomfortable being told he's a heartthrob as he was holding his girlfriend, Dawn Coombs aka Perspehone aka Princess Kit. A scattered applause started but quickly died and the room fell silent. Luckily for the party, Alex stepped up and saved the day. "Uh, I think what Mitch was trying to say is that Dan, I'm happy that SWF finally has recognized your obvious talent and can't wait to see the Grandmaster take SWF by storm. PSW just won't be the same without the Grandmaster and his ho train." And Parker...Steve, what can I say? When Rip first told me about you, I honestly thought you wouldn't last 5 minutes in the hardcore environment. But man, did you show me up. I have never seen anyone as young and talented as you be so willing to throw his body on the line for the fans. You've got a bright future ahead, and don't be afraid of stopping by now and again when you get tired of that "family friendly" crap." The roster laughed and the party went back into full swing. Most of the veterans just sat around drinking and recounting funny road stories. The younger guys and gals though were hitting the dance floor. Christine (aka Krissy) and Dharma were two beautiful sights on the dance floor and quickly captured almost every eye. "Looks like it's going to be a good farewell, Mitch. No bad blood. I'm always a little worried about jobbing them on the way out, but I think this really helps them know they're appreciated." "Yeah, thanks. It was a good idea." "But I gotta tell you, stop with the biz talk." "What? I thought it was very sentimental. According to my night class merchandise is key for the entertainment industry. Attributing that to Phunk..er... Dan is a big gesture." Alex just sighed and let it drop. "I wonder what's up with Steve?" While Dan was definitely enjoying himself, Steven Parker had mostly just sat in the corner talking with Dawn. He was polite when people came over to talk to him, but he seemed very uncomfortable with all the attention and seemed to go out of his way to avoid talking to Mitch or Alex directly. "Maybe it's because it's not really a celebration. Feels more like a funeral..." The party started dying down and Dan and Steve were asked to head up. The Grandmaster had a huge smile on his face, but Steven looked just as miserable as he had all day, if not more so. Needless to say, Phunk was the one who grabbed the mic and started talking. "Hey guys, what a great party. Now that we've had some fun and some drinks, it's time for Steve and I to say our final words. This reminds me of a time that I was sitting chatting to Dharma backstage. I was telling Dharma 'You know, SWF is nice and all, but they can't compete with you. If you were to show off your goods to me, I'd stay in a heartbeat. So, Dharma, if you would..." Jaws around the room drop as all eyes turn towards the beautiful woman standing the back. With a flourish she tears off her shirt. With the only thing on her upper half a couple of strategically placed tassels, she puts on a quick little show and gets those tassels twirling. Up on the stage the Grandmaster was laughing his head off, and Dharma joins in, putting her shirt back on. The rest of the room was silent, completely confused by what had just transpired. Alex was the first to regain his voice. "What the hell is that all about?" "Ah, just some fun. Just wanted to tell you guys that I'm staying." "What!? Why?" "Plain and simple, SWF contacted me about becoming a manager again. The money is sweet but I left SWF to become a wrestler and I'm not about to go back on that now." "And...and Steve? Are you staying as well?" Steve just quietly nodded from the back. "Well...I guess we have something to celebrate after all!" <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="26192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Next show: PSW Pitfalls of Death III Matthew Keith © vs. JD Morgan for PSW National title in Ladder Match The Deadly Alliance © vs. The Good Ol' Boys for PSW Tag Team title in Weapons Match ???? vs. Lazy Joe in Deathmatch Johnny Martin vs. Nelson Callum in First Blood match Grandmastere Phunk vs. Steven Parker in Thumbtack Match Alex Braun vs. Frankie Future © for PSW Championship in Pitfall of Doom match </div></blockquote>

Frankie: "Tonight, you're about to witness PSW history. Tonight, as I defend my title again against Alex Braun, you will all witness why I am Untouchable."

He hands the mic on to JD Morgan.

JD: "When I win the PSW National title from Matt Keith, I'll...uh...you'll see why I'm Untouchable."

JD messes up his line a little, but thanks to Frankie and Steven digging into the crowd, most people overlook it. JD quickly hands the mic off to Steven.

Steven: "And when I destroy and dismantle Grandmaster Phunk in front of all of New York, you'll all see why I'm Untouchable."

He finishes up by handing the mic back to Frankie. By this point the crowd has started booing and shouting at them to shut the f*** up, but Frankie presses onward.

Frankie: "What the hell? You boo me? You boo ME!? After all I've done..."

Steven and JD glare at Frankie who quickly corrects himself.

Frankie: "I mean, after all WE'VE done for you? We've shed blood and sweat to put on the best damn shows of the night, and this is our thanks? We put on the match of the night every single night, and this is our gratitude? On behalf of all the untouchables...F*** YOU! When we get all the titles, we're going to shut this place down until we get some damn respect. No more hardcore, no more title matches, no more epic matches that shock and awe you. It'll be bland old boring matches until we get some damn respect."

Frankie throws down the mic, flips off the fans and heads out, flanked by his stable mates.

Frankie Future, JD Morgan, and Steven Parker come down to the ring. They enjoy rubbing everybody's noses in the fact that they have been unstoppable recently, and intend to continue their streak of dominance.

Mitch: "Wow, powerful words from the Untouchable stable."

Doc: "Mitch, they can't really shut down PSW like that, can they?"

Mitch: "Well, title holders are given a lot of influence. If they do end up with all of PSW's titles, they'll hold PSW's reputation in their hands. They could trash the belts, hell even give them to our competition to mock us with."

Doc: "They'll have Eric by the balls, hell that would be a mess if there was no more hardcore at PSW!"

Mitch: "Agreed. Anyway, I'm Mitch Naess and this is my partner Doc Messing, and welcome fans and internet subscribers to PSW's third annual Pitfalls of Death."

Doc: "Tonight's Pitfalls of Death match is brought to you by Hank's Barbwire Emporium, the region's leading exporter of barb wire and tetnus."

Mitch: "And joining us ringside is our usual musical crew, the Skunkpackers."

The Skunkpackers wail out the opening riff to "Up your Skunkhole" and a few of the fans go wild and scream out the lyrics to the indie underground thrashmetal hit.

Doc: "Remember fans, they're the only band that has their music listed as being banned by the Geneva Convention."

Mitch: "Our first match of the evening will be self-proclaimed "Untouchable" taking on Matthew Keith for the PSW National title in a ladder match."

PSW National title

Ladder Match

The ladders are set up and the PSW National title is lowered from the rafters. JD takes an early lead, tying up Matt into knots and especially working on Matt's legs, wrenching aankles and knees to keep the rookie immobile, but despite the torture JD puts him through, Matt continually battles back. JD makes two attempts at climbing a ladder to get to the title.

The first time he barely gets the ladder set up before Matt floors him with a drop kick. The second time though, JD actually reaches the top and struggles to unhook the title when Matt recovers and charges into the ladder, tipping JD over and spilling him hard out of the ring.

Both men take awhile to recover, but Matt is back to his feet first. The crowd is on the edge of their seat chanting for hinm as he sets up another ladder and scrambles up. JD recovers and slides into the ring, spilling the ladder over but in a spectacular move, Matt jumps off the falling ladder and grabs hold of the National Title. He hangs there for a couple seconds before the hook gives way, and Matt falls to the ring with the title in hand.

JD Is shocked and outraged by the turn of events, and moves to take out his frustrations on the younger worker, but Matt quickly rolls out of the ring and officials storm in, preventing JD from runnig out and attacking him.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Matthew Keith defeated JD Morgan in a Ladder match in 9:47 when Matthew Keith retrieved the item. Matthew Keith makes defence number 2 of his PSW National title.

Mitch: "What an upset! JD was heavily favored in the online polls tonight, but the young Keith shows what he's made of tonight!"

Doc: "Hooo-yeah! Take that Mr. Untouchable! So much for their supposed "PSW Domination." Hell, I bet they all lose tonight."

Mitch: "That is always a possibility. Steven is facing Grandmaster Phunk, a veteran who isn't afraid to use street fighting to win, and Alex Braun has been on fire recently."

Doc: "Yeah, I wonder what three loses would do for the Untouchables. They've had their strength in the past but this would be a huge blow against them. It's hard to recover from shooting your mouth off and then losing...repeatedly."

Mitch: "Agreed. Before our next match, a title match between the Deadly Alliance and the Good Ol' Boys, apparently the Good Ol' Boys new manager, Dharma, would like to have a few words."

Doc: "A lady that fine can have as many words as she wants..."

He winks and elbows Mitch who just shakes his head.

Mitch: "I don't think that came out right."

Doc: "That's what she said!"

Mitch doesn't respond, just sighing instead.

Dharm comes out in her sexy Daisy Duke outfit, flanked by the hulking rednecks Wooton and Thimbleby.

Dharma: "Hey y'all. Just wanted ta say how ab-sah-lutely thrilled we are ta see y'all!"

Her voice goes up to emphasize the world "thrilled" and it's quickly obvious that between her incredibly tight cut offs and the shirt tucked up to cover as little as possible, the fans are "thrilled" to see her too.

Dharma: "Now, Ah just hope that Princess Kit minds her own business this time. Last time she helped her boys just ah little too much."

Behind her, footage from a previuos match plays showing Princess tripping Wooton and bashing him over the head with a framing hammer.

Dharma: "Ah just want a good clean fight so the fans can see who the real winners are."

Before Dharma can continue, the Deadly Alliance storms down the ring, Princess Kit is leading the way with a pissed off look on her face, while The Wolverine and The Punisher flank her with barbwire bats held at the ready. Princess already has a microphone and wastes little time in using it.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/Persephone.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/TheWolverine.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/TheIdahoPunisher.jpg

Princess: "What the hell are you blabbering about, Dharma? Are you calling me a cheater?"

Dharma: "No, Ah just..."

Princess; "You just what? Thought you could butt into someone else business? You think that's what you get to do here?"

Dharma: "Well, no I..."

Princess: "Just because you slept your way into PSW doesn't mean you get to tell me how to do my job!"

Dharma: "Ah didn't sleep in, Ah always get up nice and early..."

Princess enters the ring and gets right up into Dharma's face.

Princess: "You think you're better then me?"

Dharma seems confused by Princess' sudden and vicious verbal assault, and struggles to compose herself.

Dharma: "Ah was just suggestin'..."

Princess: "Well, I suggest you keep your big mouth shut and focus on doing your job before you start sticking that big nose of yours into other people's business."

Dharma pauses and puts a hand to her face, feeling out her perfectly normal-sized nose. The Good Ol' Boys have had enough though, and they step forward to physically seperate Princess from Dharma. As they reach out to move Princess back, the Deadly Alliance raise their barb wire bats and intercept the pair, smashing them both across the face with the vicious weapons. Princess and Dharma quickly evacuate the ring.

The Good Ol' Boys come down to the ring. They take microphones and start talking to the crowd, before eventually getting interrupted by The Deadly Alliance. They have a big argument, going back and forth on the microphone, eventually leading into the Deadly Alliance attacking the Good Ol' Boys.

PSW Tag Team Championship

Weapons Match

Doc: "No time for formalities, we need a ref in the ring, stat!"

As the Deadly Alliance continue to lay the beat down on the Good Ol' Boys, ref R.M. Stones runs into the ring to call it. Wooton and Thimbleby are both bloody and battered by the time the ring bell officially starts the match. Wooton and Thimbleby are able to roll out of the ring and take a breather, but before they can fully recover both Wolverine and Punisher jump out and the fighting continues into the crowd once again. Thanks to a fan's help, Wooton is able to grab the bat from Punisher, and using the barbwire is able to knock Wolverine away from Thimbleby. Wooton, although a "face" of the match, receives a lot of heat from the audience who feel that he should quit now and leave. They swarm around him pointing towards the exit.

At this point the crowd is too thick for the fight to continue so the two teams eye each other up as they head back to the ring and more open brawling territory. Both Thimbleby and Punisher are able to arm themselves by grabbing weapons offered by the crowd, Thimbleby equipping a baseball bat while Punisher gets his hands on a crowbar.

The four men batter each other senseless and the crowd starts to check out of the match, there's only so much senseless violence someone can see before they stop caring, and there's really no story going on to keep the audience invested. However, at the end though, Thimbleby is knocked out, Wolverine and Wooton are in the ring and Punisher sets up a table outside of the ring. The Wolverine sets up Wooton for a huge piledriver and the crowd actually reacts, sucking in their breath wondering if Wolverine really is about to drive Wooton's head 15 feet into a table and then concrete.

*crack*

Wooton is driven through the table like a nail hit with a sledgehammer. The table shatters in two and Wooton is down for the count, leaving a bloody smear on the concrete. Wolverine, stunned a bit from the force of the drop, barely manages to drape an arm over Wooton. The crowd roars, shouting "that was awesome!" even as the Deadly Alliance pick up the win.

After the match, Wooton is carefully stretchered out, with the crowd chanting his name the whole time.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction but featured terrible wrestling, The Deadly Alliance defeated The Good Ol' Boys in 7:48 when The Wolverine defeated Wooton Fitzpaine by pinfall with The Maul. The Deadly Alliance make defence number 3 of their PSW Tag Team titles. During the match, Wooton Fitzpaine took a crazy bump.

Doc: "And that was one for the highlight reels! I can't believe Wooton was spiked from the top ropes and survived! That was amazing!"

Mitch: "What a turn around from the fans! They had just been shouting for Wooton Fitzpaine to quit and walk out, but after seeing the punishment that man just survived, now they're rallying behind him and shouting his name!"

Doc: "Such is the fan's fickle favor. Up next we have a Deathmatch planned, so I should warn everyone in the first couple rows to wacth out for flying blood, teeth, fingers, and pounds of flesh."

Mitch: "We have Japanese hardcore wrestling veteran Larry Wood facing off against Lazy Joe."

Doc: "Lazy Joe might not be too lazy recently, but I'm expecting some pretty big things from Larry. That guy is a hardcore legend, and the stuff he's done in Japan just drops my jaw."

Larry Wood vs. Lazy Joe

Deathmatch

Larry Wood takes early control, just demolishing the "smaller" Joe. The two brawl for a bit before spilling over the ropes and entering the weapon-strewed surroundings. Larry and Joe both arm themselves with various implements, but after Larry Wood shoves a broken bat handle into Joe's face, the match turns from "almost completely one-sided" to "completely one-sided." Larry takes his time torturing Joe, dragging him around and beating him up with various weapons, bloodying his face, back and arms. He roars at the crowd who roar right back with enthusiasm, surprisingly. Despite Larry's sadistic display, the fans rally behind him and show complete contempt for Lazy Joe's wrestling ability. Larry ends up carrying the whole match and picks up a solid win for his efforts.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction but featured terrible wrestling, Larry Wood defeated Lazy Joe in a Deathmatch match in 9:44 by pinfall with a Running Big Foot.

Doc: "Absolutely brutal! Hey Mitch, did you like it when Larry put that bar in Joe's mouth and then punched him in the back of the mouth? I swear I saw Joe spit out a few teeth afterwards."

Mitch: "Thanks for the reminder, but I was here and I saw it. Up next we have Johnny Martin facing up against "Triple Threat" Nelson Callum."

Doc: "I bet I can find one of Joe's teeth on the ground. Wonder what kind of price I can get on eBay..."

Mitch: "Don't be ridiculous. Besides, you're supposed to be helping me announce the next match."

Doc: "You're right! I should just ransom them back to Joe!"

Mitch gives a wicked glare at Doc.

Doc: "...err, right! It will be a first blood match, once all the blood from the deathmatch is washed off. Now 'technically speaking' they're not supposed to use weapons to bust each other open, but I don't think anyone has ever been stopped in PSW for using a weapon or two. Hell, why do you think they call it hardcore?"

Johnny Martin vs. "Triple Threat" Nelson Callum

First Blood Match

Nelson comes out of his corner on fire, and in the surprise assault lands a few vicious blows against Johnny, ending with a big DDT. Johnny recovers quickly, the seasoned veteran not letting a minor thing like being spiked into the ring slow him down. He battles back and the two brawl back and forth. The fans and announcers are surprised at how well Nelson is holding his own against Johnny. After a surprising counter, Nelson smashes Johnny's head repeatedly into an exposed turnbuckle. He throws Johnny's stunned form down on the mat and starts posing for victory. The ref, however, checks Johnny's face and although it's heavily scratched and scarred, he deems that there's no blood and the match continues. Nelson is shocked, sure that his vicious assault would've left Johnny busted wide open, but the hardcore veteran proves his toughness and responds by slamming Nelson's face repeatedly into the turnbuckle.

Without tough, scarred skin to save him, Nelson's forehead splits like a coconut, and blood starts streaming down his face. The ref calls it and Johnny picks up the win. Despite not shedding any blood, Nelson still gave Johnny a sound thrashing and Johnny has to move carefully to stay on his feet as he heads backstage.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Johnny Martin defeated Nelson Callum in a First Blood match in 10:14 when Nelson Callum was busted open.

Mitch: "A surprising show from the recently dubbed "Triple Threat."

Doc: "Why does he insist on calling himself that? Did I miss something?"

Mitch: "I don't know, we haven't had a chance to interview him since the name change. I'm sure there's a story behind that. It may be linked to this recent surge in ability, I mean by all rights Nelson should have won that match."

Doc: "You can't discount a hardcore veteran in a first blood match. By this point Johnny doesn't have skin, he has scars on top of scars on top of scars. And scars don't split and bleed like fresh skin does. Anyway, speaking of surprising, what the hell is going on with all those attacks?"

Mitch: "Doc, it's a hardcore promotion. Everyone is getting attacked."

Doc: "Don't be stupid. I mean between the shows. First you had Johnny being taken out right before his title match with Frankie."

Mitch: "Then last show it was Grandmaster Phunk..."

Doc: "Right before the Ho contest too..."

Mitch: "Well, lucky for you, Grandmaster has agreed to have another Ho contest to make up for it."

Doc: "Awesome! Anyway, I'm predicting that these brutal attacks are going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. I just wonder how long it can last, though. I mean, this guy, whoever he is, is hitting some big profile targets. People like Johnny and Phunk aren't the kind of people to just take a beating like that and just forget about it. But I've got a theory..."

Mitch: [Color:"darkgreen"] "I'm almost afraid to ask...but shoot. What's your theory?"[/color]

Doc: "Frankie Future. Makes perfect sense. Johnny was going to take his title, and Phunk, well Frankie is probably still bearing a grudge for Phunk going all face on him. Frankie offered the Grandmaster to join the Untouchables last year, but Phunk not only turned him down, but b**** slapped him in front of everybody. A guy like Frankie is going to hold a grudge. Like I said, makes perfect sense."

Mitch: "I hate to admit it, but you actually have some logic behind that theory."

Doc: "Damn straight. Anyway, enough chit-chat, bring on da' hoes!"

Grandmaster Phunk swaggers down to the ring to the cheers of the fans. Doc reverently hands him a microphone to let the Grandmaster do his thing.

Phunk: "Hello Hardcore fan!"

The crowd roars a big hello back.

Phunk: "Now, as Eric so kindly put it awhile ago, you guys didn't come here just to a watch a bunch of thugs beat the s*** out of each other. Wouldn't want anyone questioning your...orientation. So as a service to you fans, I'm here to crown a new "Ho of the Month!". That's right, PSW will be publishing a "Women of Hardcore" picture calendar, and I'm in complete control. It'll be available at the end of the year for 2011. Now, as the chief executive producer on this little side project, I get to be the one to select which woman goes on which month, but considering how important you fans are to us, I've decided to let you help me in my selection process."

The crowd hoots and hollers, and on cue the ladies of PSW com marching out.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/NicoleKiss.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/KrissyAngelle2.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/Persephone.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/JulieForletta.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/DharmaGregg.jpg

Nicole Kiss comes out in a tight little tube top/hot pants outfit, Princess Kit is dressed in a ****tail dress that looks as if it was designed to get her free drinks all night. Krissy Angelle comes out next to a huge applause, wearing a surprisingly conservative (for her) outfit that actually covers her top and bottom completely (but still leaves little to the imagination). An unfamiliar woman comes out, a blonde wearing a revealing halter top and tight jeans. Finally, out comes Dharma dressed in a button up shirt cut to expose her midriff and a tight-as-hell knee length skirt.

Phunk: "Now ladies, line up and strike your best pose. And remember, this is a special selection as the woman selected tonight gets to be picked for January, February, and March. The first three months anybody sees will be you so make it look good, ladies! Fans, you know what to do."

The fans hoot in response and the women strike their sexiest pose. Nicole and Princess get a decent fan reaction, but it definitely pales in comparison to the response Krissy gets, despite being the most conservatively dressed of all the other competitors. The newcomer barely gets a couple seconds of Phunk's time before he and the fans move on to Dharma. Dharma gets a huge response, but it seems clear that Krissy is the fan favorite and by her smug smile it's clear she knows it.Phunk, however, lingers at Dharma.

Phunk: "Now, I know the fans have made their choice clear, but I wonder... Dharma, why don't you shake your hair out a little, and unbutton the top a bit more..."

Dharma follows Phunk's advice, shaking out her hair, unbuttoning her top to expose some serious cleavage. Phunk even goes down and tears her skirt, shortening it to the point where she'd expose herself just by walking. The fans go wild as Dharma gets sexied up right before their eyes, and suddenly what seemed to be a clear victory for Krissy becomes a close tie between her and Dharma.

Phunk: "A tie? I love a tie! Well, I've decided that because of her display of vast improvement, I'm selecting Dharma as THE Woman of Hardcore for January, February, and March! Congratulations, Dharma!"

Dharma is thrilled to win, even running over and hugging Phunk for his help. The rest of the girls aren't nearly as happy. Princess storms out immediately, upset by her clear loss. Nicole seems a bit upset but hides it well, even going over to congratulate Dharma. Krissy is pissed at having her victory snatched away, glaring at both Dharma and Phunk. However, the newcomer seems the most pissed, even "accidentally" shoulder checking Dharma on her way out of the ring.

Phunk leads Dharma to strut her stuff around the ring for a little bit before escorting her backstage.

Grandmaster Phunk is in the ring with Dharma Gregg, Krissy Angelle, Princess Kit, Nicole Kiss, and Julie Forletta. He leads them through a standard bikini contest - taking turns to wow the audience - before letting the crowd decide who wins. Dharma Gregg is announced as the winner, which the other four look very unhappy about.

Doc doesn't respond at first, just sitting there with a huge ass grin on his face.

Mitch: "Doc, you there? Dammit Doc, try and pay attention."

Doc: "Hey, just because you don't enjoy the ladies doesn't mean I don't get to."

Mitch: "I...appreciate women just as much as anybody, but now's not the time to oogle. You still have a job to do, remember."

Doc: "Don't be such a buzzkill. You just witnessed a marvel of nature, you should learn to just sit back and appreciate the sights. Stop and smell the roses, y'know?"

Mitch: "I doubt anything in this place smells like roses..."

Doc: "Up next we have THE man of the night, Grandmaster Phunk facing off against "The Future" Steven Parker."

Mitch: "They will be facing eachother in a thumbtack match. As usual, boxes of thumbtacks will be scattered around for the wrestlers to use and abuse at their discrection."

Doc: "I'm thinking Grandmaster Phunk has the edge in this match. He has the experience and the complete support of the fans after what he just announced."

Mitch: "True, but then again Steven Parker is no slouch, going toe-to-toe with some of PSW's toughest fighters."

Doc: "Yeah, but he hasn't consistently beaten PSW's toughest fighters yet."

Mitch: "True, but it does seem like only a matter of time before he's competing for the PSW Championship title on the same level as Johnny, Frankie, and Alex. Plus he's got the Untouchables behind him and both JD and Frankie have helped get Steven some wins in the past."

Doc: "I dunno, it seems like the Untouchables are on the ropes. Johnny's campaign against them has been brutal as hell, I don't know how much longer those three can stand against Johnny's wrath."

Mitch: "On that point, with JD's earlier loss, pride would dictate that Steven would be even more fired up to keep their reputation intact."

Doc: "HA! Nice one. Intact!"

Mitch just gives a confused look at Doc.

Doc: "Get it? Intact. In-tacked? Because they're going to be facing in a tack match..."

Mitch just shakes his head.

Doc: "Forget it. I don't even know why I bother."

Mitch: "That makes two of us..."

Grandmaster Phunk vs. "The Future" Steven Parker

Thumbtack Match

Steven comes out hot, but Phunk is able to control the match enough to keep it within his comfort zone, going toe-to-toe with the speedier Parker. He keeps Parker's superior aerial and technical offensives shut down, dragging Parker time and time again into a straight up slug-fest. Phunk definitely dominates those, as the larger man can hit harder and take harder hits. Parker realizes this and tries to bring the match back to his side, but Phunk keeps a cool head and keeps control.

The first thumbtack box is broken early, as Phunk powerbombed Parker right into one in the first couple of minutes. Phunk uses the edge to really play up the crowd, getting them to chant his name and even direct what he should bash Steven's head against next. The fans root for the turnbuckle and after half a dozen vicious slams, Parker's face is red with his own blood.

Parker regains some momentum but throwing a handful of tacks into Phunk's face, blinding him and giving Parker a much needed rest period. Parker uses this time wisely, taking Phunk down to the make and applying a few submissions moves while Phunk is stuck lying on tacks.

Phunk refuses to tap out though, and eventually seizes an opportunity to turn the tables on Parke and slam Parker face first into a pile of tacks. Parker leaves a bloody face print on the ring and Phunk sets up the Phunkensteiner, sending Parker crashing into the mat and picking up the win.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Grandmaster Phunk defeated Steven Parker in a Thumbtack Match match in 12:17 by pinfall with a Phunkensteiner.

Doc: “Oh man, the Untouchables go 0 for 2 tonight!”

Mitch: “You seem awfully enthusiastic about this. What happened to you supporting “the greatest alliance of talent in PSW history?”

Doc: “That doesn't sound like something I'd say.”

Mitch: “Do I need to get evidence? You said it on air last year when Frankie joined the Untouchables to replace Teddy Powell.”

Doc: “Whatever. Anyway, that was then and this is now. You've seen it. Johnny & Phunk have been burying Parker, JD just got upset by a rookie and is still titleless, and now Frankie has his title up on the line in a Pitfalls match against the Iceman Alex Braun.”

Mitch: “This will be our third ever Pitfalls match, last year they were established to be held annually every March. The roadies are tearing down the ring as we speak and getting the Pitfalls ring set up. It requires a special set because a Pitfalls of Death match takes place on a breakable ring surface. There are four trapdoors placed evenly under the ring. Wrestlers slammed onto one of the doors will cause the doo to break open, dumping the wrestler into a specially prepared pit.”

Doc: “And by specially prepared we mean full of razor sharp debris. Glass, thumbtacks, razors, syringes, barbwire, anything goes really.”

Mitch: “Once a worker is dumped into a pit, the ref will begin a 10-count and the wrestler must escape from the pit or else he loses."

Doc: "And escaping is easier said then done. These are 5 foot deep pits with dangerous items inside. It's hard enough to get out of a 5-foot deep pit, let alone one filled with barbwire or glass shards. Aerial cameras are set up so you can watch a guy try and struggle his way out. There are 4 trapdoors outlined with tape, color coded for easy reference. We've got Brown in the top left, Blue in the top right, Red in the lower left, and grey in the lower right."

Mitch: "Traditionally, these are color coded to relate to what the pit is filled with..."

Doc: "But nobody views it as a strict rule, so there's really no clue until a pit is opened and we get a peek inside."

Mitch: "It looks like the roadies have finished setting up. All the pit materials are already present under the ring, it was just a matter of getting it set up under the trapdoors."

Doc: "And the Skunkpackers have started playing intro music, so let's get on to our main event."

PSW Championship

Pitfalls of Death

Both seasoned veterans take it slow, building things up and establishing themselves instead of just rushing straight into the action. Alex is calm and collected, making sound strategic decisions and using the environment to full advantage. When pressed into a corner, he scrambles up a turnbuckle and launches a surprise aerial offensive. Frankie meanwhile relies heavily on his larger size and power, physically dominating the smaller Alex. Because of this, Alex is the first through a trapdoor, being powerbombed by Frankie intoo the Red Zone. The crowd hushes as they wait for the overhead camera to switch on. When it does they roar with bloodlust as Alex lies at the bottom of a pit covered in safety razors. Plastic shards and metal blades cut into his skin, and has he scrambles to his feet to beat the 10-count, hundreds of cuts on his back start to bleed. Frankie laughs and motions to the crowd that this will be over shortly.

Alex barely beats the 10-count, only to meet a fresh and ready Frankie waiting for him. Frankie continues to batter Alex around, hitting some big slams and just barely missing dropping Alex into another pit. Alex is stunned on the ground and Frankie decides to climb a turnbuckle. He launches a flying leg drop but Alex rolls to the side. Frankie almost rolls into the open razor pit but stops himself just in time. Alex uses this pause to dig deep and come back at Frankie hard. Frankie is rocked and has to go on the defensive.

Capitalizing on the change in momentum, Alex uses his superior tactics to get Frankie lined up for the brown trapdoor. Alex takes to the air and hits a huge 360 splash, the force of which opens up the trapdoor and dumps Alex and Frankie into the pit. The aerial camera shows that the pit is full of tables, and Alex forces Frankie to break through several of them like a martial artist chopping through blocks of wood. Alex climbs over Frankie's prone body and quickly exits the pit, but Frankie takes a bit longer to recover, only escaping by the count of 7.

Frankie is pretty injured from the fall, and pauses to clutch his back in pain occasionally. He still battles on although his confidence is shaken by Alex's dramatic recover from the razor pit. The two men slug it out, although space is getting limited as most of the left side is open to pits. Frankie forces Alex into the table pit by shoving him over the edge, but Alex lands well and climbs out quickly.

Frustrated, Frankie goes to slam Alex through the Blue trapdoor, but his back gives out midway through the move and Alex turns it into a DDT. Frankie is down and Alex sets him up over the Blue trapdoor. Alex launches into another big aerial splash, but this time Frankie rolls out of the way. Alex crashes into the trapdoor and it gives away, spilling him into a pit full chairs. His body is hits hard metal over and over as he tumbles to the bottom of the pit. He is clearly stunned but goes through the motions of trying to climb out. Huge bruises start forming all over his body but he still somehow manages to keep moving. Frankie is enraged that Alex is still trying to make it out, and reaches into the pit to try and grab a chair but he can't reach anything. He rolls out of the ring to grab a chair from the audience.

Meanwhile, Alex is still struggling to get out. He's halfway through the 10-count and is still at the bottom of the pit. An idea hits him though, and he positions a couple unbroken chairs to give him a boost up. It works and Alex is able to escape just before the ref reaches 10. The crowd goes wild, cheering for Alex.

Frankie storms back into the ring with a chair in hand, but energized by the crowd, Alex grabs the chair as Frankie swings it, and the two wrestle back and forth for control. Alex kicks Frankie in the gut and snatches the chair away. Frankie backs up a little bit preparing to block the expected chair shot but Alex instead just smiles and points down.

Horror strikes Frankie's face as he realizes he's standing right over the last trap door. Alex wields the chair like a spear, driving one leg into the trapdoor seem and the door bursts open. Frankie spills into a pit full of coils of barbwire. The fans go nuts as he struggles to escape, cutting himself over and over in the process but he is unable to regain his footing amongst the sharp razor wire and the ref reaches the 10-count. Battered and bruised, Alex raises his hands in victory as the ref hands over the PSW belt.

In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Alex Braun defeated Frankie Future in a Pitfalls of Doom match in 19:44 when Frankie Future was trapped. Alex Braun wins the PSW Championship title.

Doc: "Holy s***! What a match!"

Mitch: "Agreed. That is definitely a match for PSW's hall of fame right there."

Doc: "I can't believe Alex pulled of a win after being dumped into that razor pit."

Mitch: "That just goes to show what a strong mind and stronger work ethic can do for you. Alex has time and time again shown that he deserves to be in the top tier of competitors. He doesn't quit when anyone else would've thrown in the towel."

Doc: "Speaking of which, it looks like Frankie is going to need assistance getting out of the barbwire pit. Say what you want, but that is definitely the most dangerous pit of them all in the long run. The barbwire pit is what cost Steven Parker his National title in 2008. In fact, every single Pitfalls match has been ended by the barbwire pit."

Mitch: "It looks like Alex isn't done though. I can't believe he's still on his feet!"

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/AlexBraun_jhd1.jpg

Alex staggers out into the audience, celebrating with the fans over his triumphant victory. They cheer and (carefully) pat him on his bloody, bruised back and everyone swarms around to cheer him on.

Alex Braun comes out of the ring and enters the crowd. He shows off his new title for the crowd, enjoying the moment.

March, 2010

Alex Braun was greeted to a peculiar sight as he went into work in the moring. Several of the other workers were lingering in the lobby outside of PSW's offices.

"What's going on?"

Frankie Future stepped forward from the crowd.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/HonestFrank.jpg

"It's Mitch. He's completely lost it. Keeps rattling on about space invaders or something."

Alex sighed and rubbed his temples. It was too early in the morning to deal with this nonsense.

"Alright, let me talk to him."

Alex walked over and knocked on the door. Mitch's face appeared in the glass window, and with a series of clicks he quickly unlocked the door, grabbed Alex and tugged him inside, throwing the door shut behind him and frantically redoing the locks.

"Alex! I'm so glad to see you. It's a disaster, a complete disaster. We're being invaded?"

"Mitch...what the hell are you talking about. There's no such things as aliens..."

"No, not aliens! Spies! Spies from our competition. They've got a bunch of guys out there claming they're our men, but they're not!"

"What?"

"They think I'm stupid or oblivious, but I'm neither. I noticed the switch right away. That guy out there says he's Frankie. He looks nothing like Frankie."

"Mitch...hold up. That guy out there. He IS Frankie. You know, Frankie Future, as in one of our main event stars?"

"No, they've got to you too! Don't listen to their lies; I swear it's a different person."

Alex put his hands up and slowly started walking towards Mitch, motioning for him to calm down.

"Mitch, you know me right. I'm still the same, right? You said so yourself. Listen, you've got to trust me. You trust me, right?"

Mitch looks back and forth between Alex and the door, paranoia and rationality fighting a terrible battle.

"Mitch, we don't have any competition. Remember, that was your big pitch to the investors? And we stream our shows live, and we're not at war with anyone so what would a spy possibly hope to find out that we probably wouldn't just tell them up front?"

Mitch stops to think about what Alex said. Alex seizes the opportunity, lunging for the door, flipping the locks off and opening up the door letting the rest of the roster in.

As they file in and go about their respective business, Mitch's anger over the undermining of his defensive measures fades as he sees everyone acting the same as usual.

"I don't get it, Alex. If everyone is the same, why do they all look different?"

Alex points up to the brand new ceiling fixtures.

"Better lighting I guess. C'mon Mitch, we've got a show to book."

OOC: Back in action after a long absence. As you may or may not notice we now come with new and improved re-renders thanks to a lot of awesome work on the mods forums.

Sheer quality gap here.

Bryan Holmes vs. Tank Bradley [First Blood Match]

Holmes has the advantage of not being Tank Bradley.

Frankie Future vs. Grandmaster Phunk [Hardcore Match]

Morgan's going to lose, and Parker faces a jobber, but Future is the leader of the Untouchables. So a win here against a legitimate opponent keeps both him and his stable looking strong.

Doesn't seem like we're building up to a title change... Morgan just failed to earn the midcard title, so how would he get the main event one now?

Mitch: "Welcome fans, young and old, new and faithful to another slam packed Pittsburgh Steel event. I'm your announcer, Mitch Naess, and joining me tonight, as usual, is Doc Messing. Say 'Hi' Doc."

Doc isn't responding, instead he has his nose buried into a laptop sitting in front of him.

Mitch: "Uh..Doc. We're live."

Doc glares at Mitch, clearly irritated, but he puts the laptop away.

Doc: "Sorry Mitch, but I was trying to get some work done."

Mitch: "Work...what work? This IS your work."

Doc: "No no, not like that. Listen up, Pittsburgh fans, because tonight after the show, check for a link on the PSW website for a link to my online blog where I divulge all the juicy news for everything wrestling related, with an obvious focus on PSW."

Mitch: "Obviously."

Doc: "Check it out tonight!"

Mitch: "So, you want to pause your pitch and tell the fans what they'll be seeing right now?"

Doc: "Fine, but isn't that really your job?"

Mitch: "Excuse me?"

Doc: "You're the announcer, right? So aren't you supposed to be announcing what's going on? I'm a commentator. I'm just here to comment."

Mitch: "Oh, this is going nowhere fast. Alright fans. Tonight's back to back main events will be Frankie Future facing off against Grandmaster Phunk, and in a PSW Championship match, newly crowned champion Alex Braun will be defending his title against "Untouchable" JD Morgan. But first..."

Mitch is cut off as the local band, the Skunkpackers, wail on their guitars, signalling the start of the show.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/EricTyler.jpg

Eric Tyler walks down the stage, and the crowd roars, an equal mixture of cheers and boos. He slowly walks towards the ring with a huge smile on his face. He grabs a mic and hits the ring to open the show.

Eric: "Welcome Pittsburgh Wrestling fans. I hope you brought your weapons for tonight's main event!"

The crowd roars and hundreds of fans brandish home made weapons, ranging from typical items like pipes and bats to the truly exotic, like one guy towards the back with a machete duct taped to the end of a broom.

Eric: "I've got some big news for all of you, so we'll delay the blood and carnage just for a few minutes. Trust me, you'll thank me for this."

He makes a big show of opening the envelope with a flourish. Just then the crowd shouts in surprise. A mystery man charges down from back stage. He's got a ski mask on and a huge trenchcoat that conceals his physical features, but considering the man is well over six feet tall and as wide as an ox, it's clear he's packing some power underneath the bulky clothes.

Eric spins around and drops the mic, backing up a bit as the massive man rolls into the ring. Eric moves to attack but the man is quicker, grabbing Eric's throat and easily choke slamming him into the mat. He reaches into his coat and pulls out a thick heavy chain, wrapping it around his gloved fists before laying into Eric. The crowd is stunned by the brutality, and even Doc is left speechless. Mitch calls for help, but as other members of the locker room emerge to help out, the mysterious attacker flees, barrelling through the crowd and out the doors. Martin and Braun have to carry Eric backstage. The crowd is buzzing but things slowly calm down.

Eric Tyler is in the ring. Out of nowhere, the mystery assailant hits the ring and attacks. The assault is quick and brutal, and leaves Tyler completely destroyed.

Doc: "Holy S***! Did you just see that!? Eric F***ing Tyler just got his face smashed in."

Mitch: "It looks like the attacker isn't just confined to attacking wrestlers."

Doc: "That guy can't be on the roster. It's gotta be a rival or something. I mean, who in their right mind attacks the commissioner? Might as well ask for a one-way ticket to nonstop exploding deathmatches. I mean....s***! And Eric's no slouch. He may be getting old but he can still hold his own in a fight."

Mitch: "Agreed. I still can't believe we don't have any clues as to he identity of this guy. His attacks are getting bolder and bolder! First it was just backstage, but now it's in full view of everyone...hey, where are you going."

Doc: "I wanna see what Eric was going to announce..."

Doc dashes over to the ring and picks up the fallen envelope. He opens it up but looks disapponted.

Mitch: "What is it, Doc?"

Doc: "It's...it's blank. Goddammit."

Mitch: "I guess it was just a prop. The real announcement was in his head. That's Tyler for your, always playing things close to his chest."

Doc: "And now that he's injured I bet he won't make the announcement here so we'll just have to wait until he recovers. Goddammit. I don't really care but I'm pissed at not knowing."

Mitch: "Anyway, I just received the signal that the show will go on. Up next, we have Larry Wood and new arrival Xavier Reckless competing in a hardcore match."

Larry Wood vs. Xavier Reckless

Hardcore Match

Xavier comes out hot, running up and down the aisles, slapping hands with any fan who offers. He's pretty unknown as XDW wasn't based in Pittsburgh, but he plays the crowd a bit and makes a few fans in the process. When Larry Wood hits the ramp though, the crowd goes silent and Xavier's exuberence bleeds off of him. Larry Wood stalks out, his massive frame covered in the scars of countless hardcore matches, the skin on his back puckered and bubbled from being set on fire one to many times.

When the bell rings, Xavier looks like he just wants to flee the match entirely. Nevertheless, he slowly walks over to Larry's corner, skittish and nervous as he watches Larry's massive hands like his life depended on it. Larry just laughs at the smaller man, even inviting him to take a few free swings.

Xavier winds up for a big haymaker, but it was just a ruse! Mid swing, Larry's hand shoots out and he picks up Xavier and tosses him clear from the ring. Xavier crashes into the barricade and Larry calmly goes about gathering tools for his trade. Like a skilled professional, Larry calmly dismantles Xavier with weapon after weapon. Xavier doesn't stand a chance, and the only time he is given rest is when Larry is toying with him, letting up on him long enough for Xavier to think he can come back, only to crush his hopes with a steel chair or 2x4. Larry takse his time going for the pin, clearly not in any rush to let the massacre end. Luckily for Xavier, the ref speeds through the count and ends the match as quickly as possible. Larry gives Xavier's crumpled form one last boot to the gut before lumbering backstage.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Larry Wood defeated Xavier Reckless in 8:21 by pinfall with a Running Big Foot.

Mitch: "Ouch, poor Reckless. Going up against such a skilled and experienced hardcore veteran like Larry Wood is not a great way to start a first day."

Doc: "Hell, it's not a great way to starte any day. Or night. Or month. Or year. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first and last time we ever see the kid."

Mitch: "Don't write Xavier off yet. From the crucible, stars are born."

Doc: "Yeah, but in this ring, bones are broken. Anyway, up next is the Good Ol' Boys taking on Little Bill Lebowski and Teddy Powell in a tables match. Man, that takes way too long to say."

Mitch: "And I suppose you've got a better name for them?"

Doc: "Hell yeah! It practically writes itself. Check this out: Bill & Ted."

Mitch just groans and puts his head in his hands.

Doc: "And their finishing move can be called "The Bogus Journey"

Mitch: "Oh god, not only are you coming up with a terrible pun, but you're basing it off of the worst movie of the series?"

Doc pretends to whip the hair out of his face ala Keeanu Reeves and attempts his best "Theodore Logan" impersonation.

Doc: "Woah. Like...uh...let's get this excellent adventure started."

Mitch: "And let me apologize for my co-worker here. Don't worry, he'll be severely punished after the show."

Doc: "Most heinous!"[/b]

"Bill & Ted" vs. The Good Ol' Boys

Table Match

The tables are put into place and the match is started. Bill & Ted are awkward at first, despite their individual skills. They have all sorts of timing issues, missed tags, etc. while The Good Ol' Boys work like a well oiled machine, using their years of experience to intuitively know what the other is going to do and systematically dismantle their opponents. First Bill is isolated, then Teddy. Eventually (or inevitably) the match spills out of the ring, and suddenly unhampered by the rules of a tag match, Bill & Ted start battling back. Bill Lebowski grabs a steel chair right out from under a fan and goes to town, cracking skulls and splitting open foreheads. Meanwhile, Teddy uses Bill's excellent distraction to set up some big top rope moves, and defending against aerial assaults is definitely a weak area in thefor the brawling focused Good Ol' Boys.

With both opponents stunned, the newly formed tag team scrambles for a win. Bill and Ted work together to lift Thimbleby onto a table and Teddy scrambles up to the turnbuckle and hits a shooting star before Wooton caan stop him. Thimblebly cracks through the table and is eliminated. Wooton tries to battle back against the handicap, but Bill & Ted start showing excellent teamwork and soon Wooton crashes through another table, giving Bill & Ted their first victory.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Bill & Ted defeated The Good Ol' Boys in 8:40; Thimbleby Langton was eliminated first, and finally Wooton Fitzpaine.

Doc: "Excellent"

Doc proceeds to wail away on his air guitar as Mitch continues to look mortified. The crowd starts digging it, though, and the Skunkpackers even play along, matching Doc's mimework with actual guitar riffs. Finally, Mitch snaps.

Mitch: "DOC, GET BACK DOWN HERE! We have other things to talk about."

Doc puts his air guitar down and takes his seat, a curious look on his face.

Doc: "Oh, like what?"

Mitch: "Like Alex Braun and JD Morgan in the main event."

Doc: "Oooh yeah, that's going to be quite the show. Now, don't get me wrong, both men might be a bit past their prime, but they both still tear it up like nobody else can. We're talking two veterans with decades of hardcore experience. It's gonig to be crazy and I'm sure the blood will fly!"

As the two announcers talk about the upcoming match, video highlights play showing off their exploits in PSW and DaVE.

Doc Messing and Mitch Naess talk as a video plays hyping JD Morgan vs. Alex Braun.

Ladder Match

for

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/PSW_National.jpg

PSW National Title

Callum and Keith have quite a long history of rivalry and both launch themselves at each other right out the gate. Keith is slightly more superior of a wrestler, but Nelson makes up for it with a equal parts determination and tenacity. Keith might lock Nelson up into a leg lock, but Nelson would respond by smashing Keith's head open with a steel chair.

Keith is the first one to get a break and go for the ladder, getting it set up and climbing about a third of the way up before Nelson recovers and drags Matt back down. After smashing Matt's head into the turnbuckle for awhile, Nelson scrambles up the ladder, but Matt responds by barreling into the ladder, dumping Nelson out of the ring in a spectacular fall. Matt grabs the ladder and sets it up again, starting his climb as Nelson remains out of the ring, still stunned by his devestating fall. Just as Matt gets his hands on the suspended National title, suddenly Frankie Future charges out from the back, rolling into the ring and knocking the ladder over. Matt jumps off before the ladder drops, trying to grab the title but he misses and falls to the ring. Frankie proceeds to batter Matt all around the ring before the ref finally chases him back out and security bars him from the ring.

Both Nelson and Matt are down and injured, and the crowd starts chanting for Matt to get up. Both recover at the same time and both end up climbing opposite sides of the ladder. At the top, they battle back and forth, each one trying to shove the other one off.

Just as Matt gets a good grip on the title, Nelson kicks through the ladder and boots Matt off his side. Matt crashes to the ring and Nelson is able to unhook the belt in a stunning upset!

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Nelson Callum defeated Matthew Keith in a Ladder match in 10:12 when Nelson Callum retrieved the item. During the match we also had Frankie Future run in and attack Keith. Nelson Callum wins the PSW National title.

Mitch: "And we have a new PSW National Champion, although I don't know if that should really count due to the outside interference."

Doc: "C'mon, it's wrestling. Outside interference is part of the game!"

Mitch: "Not here it isn't. Sure it doesn't result in disqualification in other companies, but that's what all that securiity is for, to keep these matches straight forward and honest, not like the garbage found in other companies."

Doc: "Relax, Mitch. this is exactly what the fans have paid to see, a bunch of guys beat the s*** out of each other. Who cares if it happens in the ring or outside of it, or between this guy then that."

Mitch: "In that case, why bother having any kind of rules or structure or sport. Let's just throw all the traditions and practices out the window and just have chaos for two hours."

Doc: "Well...why not?"

Mitch is flabbergasted, not even knowing how to respond to Doc.

Mitch: "We're not descending into anarchy while I'm around, and especially not while Eric is running things backstage. That man does not tolerate disorder."

Doc: "Yeah, he's going to go ballistic with all this chaos. Anyway, coming up next, we have Steven Parker facing off against Ash Campbell in a submission tack match."

Mitch: "It's like a normal submission match, the match only ends when one person taps out. The big difference is that here, the ring and surrounding floors are covered in thumbtacks. As if normal submissions weren't painful enough, now you're being stretched on a bed of tacks."

Doc: "That's right Mitch, it's gonna be awesome!"

Ash Campbell vs. Steven Parker

Submission Tackmatch

As the two combatants enter the ring, noticably absent from ringside is Nicole Kiss. Considering that she's the manager for both wrestlers, it appears that she is taking the diplomatic way and not choosing sides. Ash and Steve pick their way to each other carefully, trying to navigate around the huge patches of thumbtacks. The center of the ring is fairly clear of tacks and that's where the two meet and begin their offensives. Ash takes to the air, flipping off the ropes and turnbuckles, staying airborne to keep his feet off the tacks. Steven stays grounded despite his decent aerial game waiting for the right opportunity. It appears when Ash misses a big dropkick and lands on a patch of tacks. He screams in pain and Steve rushes in, slapping on an armbar and really grinding Ash into the tacks. Aah struggles for awhile, and it looks like Steven might even break the arm, but Ash finally manages to reverse the armbar, and now Steve is ground into the thumbtacks. Steve flips and rolls, eventually squirming out of it. Both men stand up and their bodies are covered by hundreds of little pinpricks, each having turned the other into a pin cushion.

They lock up again and the crowd roars as Steve hits a low blow, slamming Ash back into the tacks and slapping on a Boston Crab. Ash tries to make another comeback but this time he can't and Ash taps out. Steven doesn't immediately let go, and several refs swarm into the ring to break the two combatants up. Steven just smirks and struts backstage.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Steven Parker defeated Ash Campbell in 12:10 by submission.

Mitch: "And Steven picks up the win against his longtime rival, Ash Campbell."

Doc: "Yeah, definitely no love lost between those two. It all stems from the fact hat both have Nicole as a client. I'm sure she ddidn't know what to do during that last match."

Mitch: "Well frankly, after the way he's treated her in the past, I hope that she was rooting for Ash."

Doc: "Yeah, but then again, from a business perspective Steven is the better prospect. I mean, he's on the verge of running with the big dogs while Ash is just at the Natinoals level."

Mitch: "Personally, I don't think that winning is everything. In any event, now it's time for our next event, Bryan Holmes will be facing off against Tank Bradley in First Blood Match."

Doc: "Bryan Holmes is an ultra-tough competitor, tons of strengths and no real weakness. Tank Bradley, however...well, fans let's be honest. It's Tank Bradley. I don't see things going well for him."

Mitch: "But first, our PSW Champion Alex Braun will be hitting the ring in celebration with our very own Heart Steelers."

Doc: "That's right! Bring on the babes!"

Alex Braun comes out, flanked on either side by the quintet of PSW divas. They don't talk much. Alex hoists up the PSW Championship belt as the divas flirt with the crowd. Needless to say, with the likes of Dharma Gregg and Krissy Angelle amongst their number, the crowd goes wild.

Alex Braun is in the ring with Dharma Gregg, Krissy Angelle, Nicole Kiss, Princess Kit and Julie Forletta. He leads them around in a celebration.

First Blood Match

There isn't much to say about this one. Bryan Holmes completel dominates the flabby sack that is Tank Bradley. Despite his "babyface" alignment, the crowd boos Tank constatnly, shouting at him to get his fat ass out of the ring. Despite the jeering from the crowd, Tank actually manages to get in a few good punches against Bryan, but Bryan just systematically tears Tank apart, finally splitting his forehead open on an exposed turnbuckle.

Doc: "Well, I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say there's no surprise there. Now it's time for the good matches, the back to back main event. First up, we've got Grandmaster Phunk hoping to Phunk Slap the s*** out of "Untouchable" Frankie Future."

Mitch: "That's right, Doc. The next match up will be standard Hardcore rules. As usual the ring side will be well stocked with instruments of destruction."

Doc: "This match's theme is going to be bondage!"

Mitch: "Wait...what?"

Doc: "That's right. We've got whips, chains, leather straps, handcuffs, the works."

Mitch: "What? Who the heck decided on this?"

Doc doesn't respond but just grins. Mitch just glares.

Doc: "What? Oh don't be that way, it'll make for an interesting match. Tie up your opponent and you've got yourself a huge advantage."

Mitch: "I'm wondering if you might have other motives for wanting to see Frankie and Phunk all "tied up."

Doc looks at Mitch with a confused look on his face. Finally, Mitch's subtle jab dawns on him and he glares right back at Mitch.

Doc: "Oh hell no! Don't get me confused with you. I'M the one here that enjoys watching the divas expose skin. I'M the one that's going to be taking all this stuff backstage to the ladies locker room for a very special post-show."

Mitch grins, having finally gotten to his co-host.

Mitch: "Getting a little defensive, are we?"

Frankie Future vs. Grandmaster Phunk

Hardcore Match

Like most of PSW's matches, this one doesn't take long before spilling over to the side and becoming a hardcore showcase. Frankie gets a whip early on and lashes Phunk repeatedly, opening up large gashes across Phunk's back. Phunk is able to grab the whip and rip it out of Frankie's grasp, using the leather cord to try and choke Frankie out. Frankie escapes by grabbing a baseball bat and bashing Phunk in the head with it. Phunk grabs a steel chair and the two go back and forth. Phunk gets the edge when Frankie's bat breaks, but Frankie manages to slip behind Phunk pull off a Frank-N-Hurter into the announcers table, smashing it apart, sending Doc and Mitch scrambling and leaving Phunk down for the count. Frankie wipes some of the blood off his face and celebrates to the crowd that respond with boos and jeering.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Frankie Future defeated Grandmaster Phunk in 11:55 by pinfall with a Frank-N-Hurter.

Mitch: "Holy cow that was a close one. You and I almost became a part of the action. Uh...Doc?"

Doc is staring at where his table table and equipment used to be.

Mitch: "Uh...Doc? Are you ok? You can relax now. You weren't hurt at all. The match is over."

Doc gives Mitch a confused look.

Doc: "I'm not upset that I almost got kicked in the face."

Mitch: "Then what's with the shocked look?"

Doc: "I'm not shocked. I'm pissed off. I had a full cup of coffee under the table."

Now it's Mitch's turn to look confused.

Mitch: "So? So what?"

Doc: "So what!? Have you seen the prices these days? That was a super-vente-extra large! That thing was nearly $10."

Mitch: "I'm sure when Grandmaster Phunk recovers from his concussion, multiple chest wounds, and cracked ribs that he'll buy y0u a new one. Now, let's get on to our main event."

Doc: "Man...how am I supposed to party with the ladies backstage now without some extra juice?"

Mitch: "We both know that was never going to happen. So...our main event for the evening is..."

Doc: "...is a weapons match between reigning champion Alex Braun and JD Morgan."

Mitch: "Right. Apparently the rumors are that both Frankie Future and Steven Parker petitioned heavily for jD to get a title shot. Parker basically gave up his spot in the rotation to give his partner a crack at the champion."

Doc: "It just goes to show that as much as people despise them, having friends in the Untouchables really pays off. Even when they're not at the top of their game, they're still throwing around some hefty influence backstage. "

Mitch: "... anyway, as Doc mentioned, this will be a weapons match, so fans, let's see those weapons!"

The crowd goes nuts as they cheer and surge for the barricades, homemade weapons being thrust out and even thrown at the ring in hopes of getting used. Ref Stones ducks and dodges to avoid being clobbered by a sledgehammer thrown into the ring.

Doc: "I was just about to announce our special weapon for the night but it appears that someone else beat me to it. It's a sledgehammer folks. Good for breaking skulls and stones in equal measure.And don't forget to check out my website for all your PSW news! Compared to the Doc, the other guys are just Messing around!"

Mitch groans loudly at Doc's pun as the match gets underway.

Weapons Match

for

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/PSW_Championship.jpg

PSW Championship

Alex comes out to the roar of the crowd, and he takes the time to play up the crowd a bit. He surveys the ring and nudges a few choice weapons closer to his side. JD comes out and rushes right into the ring, clubbing Alex with a 2x4 before the match even starts. The crowd roars in outrage. They came here to see danger and violence, but that doesn't mean they support cheaters! Alex crumples from the surprise attack and JD wastes no time tying Alex up in knots, ignoring the weapons and going straight for the submissions. The two battle it out on the mat, and the crowd starts to really rally behind Alex, not only cheering him on because he's the face, but also hopin that he'll escape and start utilizing the vast array of weaponry littered around.

After nearly five minutes of back and forth mat work, Alex finally escapes JD's holds and rolls out of the ring, picking up a barbed wire bat in the process. JD grabs a steel chair and the two battle back and forth outside the ring. JD smashes the chair into Alex's foot, but Alex gets a solid club with the bat against JD's head, opening up his forehead. Alex takes the offensive for awhile, smashing JD all around the ring, utilizing quite a few of the fan made weapons. He grabs the machete on a pole, and does a few feint jabs at JD with the pointy end. JD focuses entirely on the sharp blade, ducking and dodging to keep from being cut open, and Alex sets him up for a brutal followup with the shaft of the weapon, cracking it against JD's jaw and dropping him like a ton of bricks. Alex goes for the cover but JD kicks out quick enough. As Alex gets up to grab something new to smash JD with, JD trips up Alex and starts wrenching on his arm. With a loud 'pop', suddenly Alex's shoulder pops out of the socket.

Alex is able to slip away now that JD doesn't have any leverage but his left arm hangs lifelessly. Fearless as always, Alex grabs a bat and fends off JD's advance, but JD clearly has the advantage, and he wastes little time in capitalizing, grabbing various weapons and manuevring around to Alex's bad side and smashing his chest and back with chairs, 2x4's, and random weapons that the fans pass out, including a mop, an umbrella, and even smashing Alex's foot with a dumbbell.

When JD goes for the sledgehammer to finish him off, Alex spears JD into the corner, crying out again as he hits his dislocated shoulder. JD's head bounces off the turnbuckle, stunning him. In the brief moment of respite, Alex grits his teeth and pops his shoulder back into place. The crowd let's out an audible "ooooh" as the sickening display goes on in front of them.

Partially recovered, Alex keeps his distance from JD as he slowly gets his arm back into play, and despite JD trying to keep his momentum going, Alex is able to duck, dodge, and evade long enough to recover for a surprising counter offensive. Alex goes for the sledge, JD tries to stop him but is too slow and gets a 15-lbs of metal shoved into his gut. As JD bends over from the blow, Alex nails him with a Braun Damage, and JD is down for the count.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Alex Braun defeated JD Morgan in 18:18 by pinfall with a Braun Damage. Alex Braun makes defence number 1 of his PSW Championship title.

April 2010

OOC: So I was originally going to build a fake website like other diary writers have done, but let me say that it is very time consuming to get everything looking nice, requiring graphical skills above my own meager abilities. So two things resulted from it. First, I have even more respect for those diary writers who can do the websites on a consistent basis. And second, this story...

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/AlexBraun.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/MitchNaess_alt1.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk191/praguepride/PSW/DocMessing_alt.jpg

Alex, Mitch, and Doc all crowded into Mitch's tiny office. It was night,and the office's poor lightinig cast the room in shadows. The three faces were illuminated from the glow of the monitor, all eyes fixed on the screen. Doc sat behind the compter, switching between different network traffic reports. He was grinning the whole time.

"Ha! I told you this would be a great idea. You guys have all these great inside contacts, I've got the computer skills. Look at this, almost a thousand unique hits and it's only been a couple hours."

Alex rubbed his eyes a bit, glancing at the clock and wondering why he still wasn't in bed yet.

"Doc, I think I've seen enough. I'm getting too old for this. I can't be staying up until 4am like you guys can. I'm heading out."

DOc and Mitch paused just long enough to be polite before diving back into their website.

"I have to give you credit Doc. When you first came to me I thought this was just going to be a waste of time and money, but I think you really pulled this off."

"Wait...why did you think it was going to be a waste of money?"

Mitch balked a bit, not meaning to offend.

"Not a waste of a lot of money, that's why I went ahead with it. But we had to pay for some graphics, new servers, more bandwidth from the provider."

"A waste of money... check this out!"

Doc opened up the story talking TCW's rise to International level, and comparing it to how it has almost crippled CZCW in the process.

"Top story by far. look at those numbers! Thousands of fans are reading my indepth analysis as we speak!"

"Well, it should be the top story, I mean I thought we were hit hard from losing Matthew Keith but CZCW lost how many guys?"

He starts ticking them off, one by one.

"Frankie Perez, James Prudence, Remmy Skye, Mikey James, and Jacob Jett, but he left for...North of the Border, right?"

"Right. Five top guys raided. But they're not out yet. Acid's been tearing it up since January, Mainstream Hernandez is doing nicely in the midcard, and rumor has it that they're bringing in Greg Gauge and Fumihiro Ota for their next event."

"Hmmm...I didn't realize Greg was working in the US again. You think we can bring him over to replace Matt? Maybe nobody will notice we siwtched brothers."

"Nah, don't bother. I'm sure he'll be stolen by one of the Big Two soon enough. No, I've got a couple of guys marked out for you and Alex to go over."

Doc dug around on Mitch's desk a little before finding the folder and handing it to Mitch.

"Here you go. Joe Benning and Donte Dunn. Both are young guys with great potential. Let's face it Mitch, the main event is getting old. We've got some nice youngsters coming up. Ash and Nelson are starting to tear it up. Parker's already main event material, but we're going to have to replace a lot of guys probably in five years. Johnny, Bryan, Alex, JD, Larry Wood, The Deadly Alliance...anyway. These two guys are y0ung. Benning's already a solid wrestler. Nice guy to boot. And Donte...well, he's still rough, just graduated from DeColt's training school but man kid can move. He's going to be a beast in the ring right around the time these other guys start retiring."

Mitch flipped through the folder, looking at the pictures and comment sheets.

"I'll have to talk it over with Alex but I dunno Doc, we're already bursting at the seems."

"What were you told? We need to turtle up. Look at SWF. They're gearing up for some serious competition from TCW. They called up Bear Bekowski, Emmy, Cheetah Boy, Kristen Pearce, Primus Allen, Masked Patriot, Giant Brody...they stole James P and Remmy Skye from CZCW, Roger Cage from NYCW. Heck, they've even got Puerto Rican Power on stage and The Stomper in the background... nobody is safe. I figure if we overload our roster a bit, we can build ourselves a buffer. They might steal a guy here or there but with that buffer in place we can steam full speed ahead."

"I dunno Doc...I'll think about it. I'll need to pitch it to Alex."
