I'm really enjoying some of the characters like Sparrow and Vicious. I'm looking forward to rest of the season and the following season.</div></blockquote> Thank you, Tweek it! Replying to this thread lets me know that there are others out there enjoying the project; however, I'm not hell-bent on staying on "page 1" over and over again like in the past. So, just to hear something like what you said means A LOT to me. Truthfully. It's great to know that Matty & Johnny Vicious are "jumping off the screen" enough to generate some interest from readers. They, thus far, have been A LOT of fun to write for, so, i'm pretty happy with how things have unfolded so far. With that being said, adding an extra 30 minutes to "Rapid Assault" starting on the NEXT show will certainly aide in further fleshing out the DOA, it's cast members, and the storylines that works within it all. All in all, I'm sorry for the long-winded response, but, I just wanted to say thank you for your post! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> With a side note, Yay 500!!!!

Episode #8

Title: "… The Call for Order … "

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/EricTyler.jpghttp://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/MattySparrow.jpghttp://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/Acid.jpghttp://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/GregBlack.jpg

Eric Tyler, Matty Sparrow, Acid, and Greg Black
… Last week; on DOA “Rapid Assault” …

[The 8th airing of DOA “Rapid Assault” opens in its traditional fashion; a blowout hype video depicting what happened on last week’s episode. In said video we are force-fed the narrative that Matty Sparrow was ultimately screwed out of the DOA Championship last week; displaying this scenario in a collection of shaky-cam, overly gritty, film footage. Meanwhile, a patchwork approach is used to relay specific statements made by the DOA commentary team (John Greed and Davis Detterich) to continue to further the overall narrative of Matty’s “fall from grace”.]

[shortly after we are given the sight of Acid claiming control of HIS DOA Championship, positioned 15 feet above the ring on a steel chord, the hype video footage turns from a gritty presentation to that of a high quality, HD-like, vision of the shocking entrance of Greg Black. With Black’s entrance theme resonating in the background, The sight of Greg Black flooring BOTH Acid and Matty Sparrow is seen once again; a powerful image even after 7 days to digest.]

[in the end, the video comes to a slow, halting, close with a slow-motion view of Greg Black standing over his two fallen victims; his arms raised out to the side in a truly arrogant fashion, Signifying himself as an all-mighty conqueror. This lasting image freezes upon the screen as the video presentation utilizes a ‘click-frame’ special effect, looking as if the footage is skipping in a rhythmic fashion, all the while with the image of Greg Black standing over his victims seen plastered across the screen.]

Grade: C-

Davis Detterich: Hello everybod-ay, and WELCOME… to DOA “R-R-R-R-RAAAPID ASSAULT!” [slight Pause] I’m Davis Detterich, along side my partner in crime John Greed, and we’ve got one HELL of a show planned for you here tonight!

John Greed: That’s right, Davis. Boy, do we have one HELL of a war brewing here tonight! [Laughs] Matty Sparrow has to find a way to trust his attacker from last week, Greg Black, in which to compete against the DOA Champion, Acid, and his unstable ally, Rayne Man, in Tonight’s Main Event! [slight Laughter; followed by a quick response to his own statement] If you ask me, Even if these two were on the ‘same page’ there’s still NO WAY that could EVER defeat both Rayne Man & Acid. It’s simply impossible!

Davis Detterich: I’m not sure about that, John. Matty, himself, was inches away from winning the DOA Championship last week and Greg Black is a ‘Grade-A’ athlete. [slight Pause] I agree that Acid and Rayne are deadly opponents for anyone; however, if anyone would be able to defeat them… It would be these two, Matty & Greg!

John Greed: Meh, We’ll just see about that…

Davis Detterich: Also, Steve Flash will look to challenge ‘time’ itself by attempting to compete with the much younger, the much faster, Jay Chord in tonight’s second bout! I have a feeling what side you’re on without even asking; however, I find myself shockingly leaning toward Chord on this one. [slight Pause] In his prime, I would have certainly gone with Flash but Steve is pushing into his mid-40’s. Tonight is going to be one hell of a challenge for the veteran!

John Greed: On top of that, We’re all going to bare witness to the DESTRUCTION of Johnny Vicious! [Excited Laughter follows] I can’t wait! Both of his arms tied behind his back? [Laughs again] This guy has NO CHANCE to walk out of this one on his own two feet!

Davis Detterich: Sadly enough, That could be a very REAL scenario here tonight. Vicious will have to find a way to force another to submit without the use of his hands; easier said than done. But, I guess you …

[Davis‘s Attention is taken away by a unexpected scenario]

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/EricTyler.jpg

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler
… Opening the show, With a proposal …

[The DOA “Dungeon” is shown to be in a frenzied, anticipatory, state as self-described DOA “Dead-Heads” fill the moderate sized TV sound stage with a continuous wave of admiration. The unique tone, rebellious in nature, rivals the images once seen during DaVE broadcasts; ultimately furthering the narrative that Deadly Overloaded Action has tapped into the small, underground, culture that continues to incessantly beg for ‘something new’. With the sight of 20 something’s screaming into camera lenses, while holding beer in their hands, resonates across your TV screen; there’s an overall feeling that the DOA tailors its action primarily to those of this demographic. Not too shocking, to say the least, as the Arcadia Network has cultivated this demographic for years.]

[Just as the opening frenzy has started to wane, The “Dungeon” erupts into a ‘changing wind’ of negativity; focused on THIS very man…]

I… Deserve… Your… Respect!

[The powerful sound of Eric Tyler’s theme music blares over the “Dungeon” sound system as those in attendance shower the Wrestling Legend with a momentous sense of hatred. With the sight of nearby fans, standing along the steel guardrail leading to the ring, aggressively making obscene gestures in his direction; Mr. Tyler slowly walks through the “Dungeon Gateway” wearing an ice-cold, serial-killer-esque, look upon his face. His grizzled, graying beard, casts a dark shadow upon “The Voice of Reason’s” aged face, as he slowly shuffles his way toward the ringside area; all the while wearing his signature open collared white oxford shirt accompanied by a sophisticated black suit… Most likely 10-15 years old by now.]

[Now, in the ring and with a mic in hand, “The Voice of Reason” motions for his music to be cut short; using it’s demise as a symbol to start speaking. Meanwhile, the DOA “Dead-Heads” in attendance are still showering the Wrestling Legend with a hefty show of disrespect: booing, chanting that he sucks, and simply yelling obscenities in his direction.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: What is wrong with the youth of America today? [stares down the crowd as they boo him madly.] Do you not understand the premises calling on you to respect your elders? [slight Pause] I broke my back for this industry, gave my sanity to this industry, for close to 30 years and yet… You boo me like some common fool. [The crowd continues to boo wildly as Eric pauses for a second; letting his statement sink in.] My theme music is not simply for sh*t’s and giggles… [slight pause; looking out upon the crowd] I… Deserve… Your… Respect!!

[The crowd, feeding off of their hatred for Mr. Tyler, comes back at the Wrestling Legend with another momentous wave of hatred. Leaving Eric even more agitated than before.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: If you don’t intend on rightfully showing me the respect that I deserve then I’ll see to it that I force it upon you! Just like I’ve done with Johnny Vicious… [The crowd continues to boo as Tyler pauses.] Don’t you understand that a rebellious personality trait is only something that will keep you behind in life? This country breeds this anti-authority culture that you all sadly prescribe to… Slowly, eating away at the moral fabric of this seaspool for a nation. If you want to see class… respect… and honor… Go to Canada! [Crowd boo’s; starts to chant “F*ck Canada”] You wouldn’t know class if it DDT’ed you to the canvas. [Crowd boo’s] One man who, one American-born man, who defies this rule is none other than the recently acquired DOA superstar… Mr. Gregory Black.

[A mixed reaction forms within the DOA “Dungeon” as the sheer mentioning of Greg Black’s name often conjures up a sense of confusion; is he face or is he a heel? No one really knows for sure.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: Now, I have to admit, I wasn’t thrilled to see Mr. Black assault MY Champion last week on “Rapid Assault”; however, I can get over that image. How you might ask? Through his undying service to my cause.

[The crowd boo’s once again; showering Mr. Tyler with a continued showing of disrespect.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: Now, Mr. Black… Before I go too far into detail… I’m calling on you to join me… here… In the middle of the ring! Come out here… I promise our exchange will be cordial…

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/GregBlack.jpg
Greg Black
… Liberated from ’The land of Supreme’ …

[Almost instantly after Mr. Tyler’s last statement, almost as if he was being cut-off in a way, the lights go completely out. Such an instance typically brings a lot of excitement from any crowd; this situation is no different. Just then, an amazing light show begins at an accelerated pace; complimenting Greg Black’s unique rock music quite well. This ultimately creates an iconic vibe for the DOA newcomer as his glistening, ripped, physique is seen stepping through the “Dungeon Gateway” as the frantic lighting display occasionally beams off of him; creating a ‘awe-inspiring’ silhouette of the former SWF stand-out.]

[With an arrogant swagger to his step, Greg Black is seen strolling down the ringside isleway and eventually climbing into the very ring that Mr. Tyler stands within. At first, Greg completely ignores the sight of “The Voice of Reason”, obviously standing in the middle of the ring like an 800 pound elephant in the room, instead, playing to the crowd as he extends his arms outward in a celebratory showing of how great he truly is. With time; however, Greg’s theme music comes to a close and the highly anticipated newcomer stands a couple feet from the man who just called him out.]

[A unique aura hovers around the altercation as both Tyler and Black appear to be on a crash-course toward something… What? We don’t really know.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: Mr. Black, I thank you for your willingness to hear me speak. I won’t hold too much of your time as I know you’re gearing up for tonight’s main event; however, this could not go unsaid. [Mr. Tyler pauses as Mr. Black nods; waiting to hear what Tyler has to say.] We all witnessed your assault of MY Champion last week on “Rapid Assault”; a sign of your unwavering need for danger. Most would expect for me to simply chastise you for this decision; however, I’m not going to do that… At least, I MAY not have to do so. [smirks] You see, My budding faction is simply a loose alliance of the few, the honored, the respected. They are not disciples, they do not stand in unity at all times; however, they are a collection of brave fighters who I believe SHOULD stand above the rest here in Deadly Overloaded Action. Call them privileged… Call them, as Davis Detterich has properly coined, “All the Kings Men”.

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Misc%20Banners/AlltheKingsMen.jpg
Called by name; for the first time.

[The crowd boo’s like crazy; not a fan of Tyler or his budding faction.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: We’re simply an alliance of individuals with one common cause: The further development of MY vision for Deadly Overloaded Action. [slight Pause as the crowd boo’s] In a sense, a small, bound-less, fraternity… [Tyler pauses; walking forward toward Mr. Black.] A fraternity that you could belong too. [slight Pause; As Tyler backs away again.] I’m not going to offer this to you more than once; Mr. Black. It’s undoubtedly an honor just to receive an interest from myself; to join my privileged crew. [slight pause] So, what do you say? Join me and I’ll see to it that all your hopes, and dreams, are accomplished here in Deadly Overloaded Action. [Evin Grin forms] Even with Acid as Champion, He understands, as they all do, that this alliance does not call for complete allegiance to each other… Just to me… [Devilish Grin, again, forms; a true sense of arrogance permeating from his very body.] So, what do you say? Join me. Join my cause and I’ll guarantee you Wrestling Immortality!

[Mr. Tyler slowly extends the microphone away from his mouth; in the direction of Greg Black. Meanwhile, the crowd has turned their cohesive wave of booing into a constant roar of individual yelling; all trying to send their own message at once.]

[With a sly grin upon his face, Greg Black is seen nodding his head slightly; showing that the deal appears to be pretty crazy to turn down. However, not necessarily accepting his cause, rather, just responding to such a deal in the first place.]

[black grabs the microphone, looks Mr. Tyler straight in the eye with an arrogant smirk plastered across his chizzled face, and proclaims this everlasting message.]

Greg Black: You, and “All the Kings Men”, can… KISS… MY… A**!!

[The crowd roars with excitement as Mr. Tyler’s, borderline, joyful nature quickly escapes his body; now hardened once again as Greg Black has not only turned down his proposal but has done so in a truly disrespectful manor.]

Greg Black: I didn’t come to Deadly Overloaded Action to be some grandparent’s hired gun. I don’t really care what vendettas you carry! [slight Pause] I joined the DOA to finally take full-control of my legacy. Not you, Not Eisen, hell… Not even these people here, can tell me what to do! [Mixed Reaction] I play by my own rules… I’ve started my own game… [Arrogant Smirk] And Gramps, You’re nothing but an old, decrepit, bystander in this “Game of Black”. [slight Pause] So, before you fill those depends of yours with whatever has been brewing inside of you… My answer is… HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Greg Black is seen disrespectfully tossing the microphone, he once held, straight into the face of an unsuspecting Eric Tyler; a move that will arguably spell his demise at some point. Meanwhile, Black’s theme music has once again started to roar over the “Dungeon” sound system like a screaming bat out of hell; creating a crazed vibe that can truly be read upon the face of the “Voice of Reason”.]

[We cut to our first commercial with the sight of Greg Black slowly back peddling up the isleway, toward the “Dungeon Gateway”, arrogantly smirking like he had just won the DOA Championship right then and there. Meanwhile, Eric Tyler is seen on the verge of a complete mental breakdown! His face turning beat red, his body becoming increasingly tense, the “Voice of Reason” fumes with utter-hatred for the DOA newcomer!]

Grade: C-

John Greed: Stupid, Stupid, move Greg Black… You’re going to regret that decision.

Davis Detterich: While it may not have been an ideal way to respond to Mr. Tyler’s offer; I’m just happy to see SOMEONE finally stand up to the “Voice of Manipulation”!

John Greed: I give Black a week… Hell, by the end of tonight, I’m calling that THIS man… This stupid, stupid, man will leave the “Dungeon” on a stretcher!

John Greed: I guess we’ll have to see…

Johnny "The Blazing Red Demon" Vicious vs. Matthew Keith vs. Torment
Three-Way Submission Match
Johnny Vicious's arms will be tied behind his back during the match

Johnny Vicious appears to be pretty agitated as Eugene Williams first attempts to tie Vicious’s hands behind his back; so much so that Eugene actually flinches as Johnny snaps his head quickly in his direction. All in all, creating an air of unease within the “Dungeon” as his opponents, Matthew Keith and Torment, stand on opposite sides of the ring. With time, Eugene is able to fasten Johnny’s hands behind him; however, before he can officially call for the bell… Johnny is assaulted by both Keith and Torment in a completely un-fair 2 on 1 assault. Vicious, trying to fend off his attackers with a round of kicking strikes, ultimately can’t stand up to his attackers; eventually being floored by a standing dropkick to the jaw from Matthew Keith.

Mr. Tyler, standing on the outside of the ring with a mysterious black briefcase gripped severely in his right hand, is heard yelling in to the ring; proclaiming that THEY “Destroy Him!” (meaning Johnny Vicious). A fact that looks pretty close to reality as Vicious looks like a piñata; violently being thrown about the ring with an array of one-sided maneuvers. At times, Vicious is able to put up one hell of a fight, landing wayward headbutts upon the foreheads of Keith and Torment; however, even this showing of a great ‘fighters mentality’ ultimately subsides as the numbers game eventually turns against Vicious once again.

While this match-up could have been booked as a classic, straight-a-way, 2 on 1 assault; things become much more convoluted about halfway through the match. At this point, it’s quite obvious that Mr. Tyler has a “plan” for tonight; barking orders more aggressively as the match goes on. Overall, as tension continues to accelerate, the opening match of the night begins to personify the truest example of: Overbooking.

With Vicious attempting to gain an upper-hand on Matthew Keith, as the two brawl on the outside of the ring, Mr. Tyler is seen barking orders in the direction of Rayne Man; as he stands inches from Tyler’s position. With Torment causing Eugene Williams’s focus to be deterred from the action outside of the ropes, Rayne Man quickly storms around the corner of ring… Flooring Johnny Vicious from behind with a heavy-handed closeline. Upon impact, Vicious crashes into the nearby steel guardrail and appears to cut his forehead open in the process. As blood flows slightly from Vicious’s head, Rayne Man quickly grabs the back of his head and whips “The Blazing Red Demon” back into the ring; slowly walking away as if he had done nothing to interfere in any way.

At this point, Johnny is barely able to stand on his own two feet; staggering to stay upright as blood slowly trickles down his face. Torment, looking to take advantage, quickly forces his way upon Vicious; however, something rather shocking takes place… Johnny Vicious, despite looking like he’s on ‘death’s door’, fights back with reckless intentions. Bloody Headbutts, aggressive shoulder strikes, and the occasional stiff-kick to the stomach ultimately sends Tyler’s personal favorite, Torment, reeling backward. Keith, trying to capitalize upon Vicious’s turned attention, slides back into the ring and goes for a running spinning heel kick; however, instead of hitting Vicious (like he intended), Johnny moves out of the way… Forcing Keith to make an impact upon Torment’s face! This strike back peddles the vile aggressor backward, and out of the ring, as he collapses on the cement floor on the outside of the ring.

With Mr. Tyler barking at Torment to get up in the background, Vicious attempts to turn his attention toward Matthew Keith; an unsuccessful venture. Keith quickly takes control of his limited opponent, violently stomping him into the matt before landing a final blow upon the bridge of Vicious’s bloody nose. With Johnny struggling to stay conscious, Matthew Keith picks his ‘dead weight’ off of the canvas and quickly sets him up for a high-hanging Piledriver…

He lifts him up…

Vicious counters by wrapping his legs around Keith’s neck!!

They both drop to the matt…

Vicious has Matthew Keith in a choke-hold using the strength of his quads to theoretically ‘snap’ his opponents neck!

Keith struggles for freedom…

Struggling some more…

Keith reaches for a nearby ring rope…

He’s too far… There’s now way he’ll be able to reach the ropes in time…

The blood starts rushing to Keith’s head, a sight that’s pretty obvious as his head turns a shade of purple, as he continues to try to break free…

WAIT…

Torment has returned to the ring and has moved in behind Johnny Vicious; locking in his signature “The Reaper Cometh” (Dragon Sleeper) from behind as Vicious focuses his attention on Keith.

Torment wrenches back on “The Reaper Cometh”… However, Vicious doesn’t let go of his submission either…

Eugene Williams has NO IDEA who to focus on… Keith or Vicious?

This double submission hold goes on for a good 25 seconds before Mr. Tyler all of a sudden starts barking at Eugene Williams, “Call it! Vicious submitted! I heard him… He submitted!’

At first, Eugene appears to be pretty leery of Tyler’s demand; however, with time, the pressures of his job start to take hold: Did Johnny really tap out or is Mr. Tyler trying to force his own will upon the outcome of the match?

The submission hold goes on for another 10 seconds… Eugene Williams looks to be in a state of agitation… Confused on what to do…

In the end, Eugene Williams calls for the bell as Mr. Tyler, once again, barks in his direction claiming that he heard Vicious submit. The final ball is rung; however, the submission hold from either man does not subside. Eugene Williams desperately tries to remove Torment’s hold upon Vicious’s neck; however, to no real success. Meanwhile, Mr. Tyler is seen standing with a devilish grin upon his face; slowly climbing into the ring, with Rayne Man at his side, still gripping the mysterious black briefcase in his right hand.

Torment defeats Johnny Vicious and Matthew Keith in 9:14 via “The Reaper Cometh” upon Johnny Vicious.
Grade: D+

Davis Detterich: WHAT?!?! THIS IS HOW IT ENDS?!?! THIS IS BULL-SH*T!! JOHNNY DIDN’T TAP!!! TYLER JUST FORCED EUGENE WILLIAMS TO CALL FOR THE BELL!

John Greed: Oh quiet, Davis. You’re going to have an aneurism if you don’t relax. [Laughs] How can you say, with certainty, that Vicious didn’t tap? Are you in the ring? Are you a certified referee? No. [slight Pause] Mr. Tyler was just giving Eugene some ‘help’ by informing him of Vicious’s call for an end.

Davis Detterich: What? Are you High?

John Greed: Well, no, but this show might be a little more entertaining if I were… [Laughs] “Why are there pink elephants flying around the ring?”

Davis Detterich: Stop being an idiot, John. Mr. Tyler just forced his own will upon the final outcome of this match! Johnny had no chance to fend for himself… He used his authoritative power to influence Eugene’s decision.

John Greed: Did he? Honestly, Davis? How would you know that? Johnny has no hands in which to show any signs of submission. So, the only way he can submit is by saying so. If anything, Eugene saved Vicious from a lifetime of mental damage; cutting the submission and calling the match!

Davis Detterich: That’s bull and you know it John!

John Greed: How about you tell that to Torment. [slight Laughter follows] That’s right, go down to the ring and tell Torment that he didn’t actually win. Try to take a victory away from the man. Then we’ll see how “brave” you are by yelling from the rafters about Vicious being ‘screwed by Tyler’.

Davis Detterich: I shouldn’t have to! This is unfair for Vicious… Damn unfair!

Eric Tyler, Johnny Vicious, Torment, and Rayne Man
… Preferential Treatment …

[Johnny Vicious lays motionless on the canvas below as a nearby camera man quickly zooms in on his face from outside of the ropes. The sight of the “Blazing Red Demon” blinking incessantly, like it will bring him a better sense of consciousness, resonates through your TV set; ultimately creating the vibe that Vicious is barely able to cling to reality, suffering to stay conscious. Meanwhile, Matthew Keith is seen, STILL, laying motionless at the base of Vicious’s legs; most likely out cold as well from the head-vice-grip that Johnny had just previously used upon him.]

[Mr. Tyler is quickly handed a microphone after a harsh outburst toward the ringside officials; standing over the fallen Vicious as a sign of ‘power’. Overall, it seems like Johnny is barely able to understand what’s going on as “The Voice of Reason” slowly kneels down at Vicious’s side; looking downward upon his ‘victim’ with a sly smirk running ear from ear. Meanwhile, as all of this takes place, the DOA crowd is lightly buzzing over what we’re about to hear from the “Voice of Reason” himself]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: Does it hurt? Does it hurt to know that you were unable to win, Johnny? That you didn’t have what it TAKES to beat my constructed scenario? [Evil Grin forms upon his face] Well, it’s about to sting a little more…

[Mr. Tyler forcibly drops the mysterious black briefcase upon the canvas below; seated right next to the semi-conscious Vicious. With a few clicks of the well-placed locks, Tyler slowly opens said briefcase to show a gleaming Championship belt seated within its walls. The title, seemingly unknown to the avid DOA fan, is now slowly pulled out of the mysterious case that once held it inward; cradled in Mr. Tyler’s free hand.]

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Championships/DOA_ChokeOut.jpg
Mr. Tyler's creation

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: You see this here, Johnny? Do you see this?

[Mr. Tyler turns back toward Rayne Man, barking orders in his direction in which to have Vicious’s head pulled off of the matt; that’s exactly what Rayne does. With Vicious barely able to make sense of what’s going on, Rayne Man forcibly holds his head up off the canvas; using his flaming red hair as a handle. Meanwhile, Mr. Tyler practically slams the unknown Championship within inches of Vicious’s face as a way of “rubbing it in”.]

”The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: Do you see this Johnny? [Arrogant laughter follows] I forgot to mention, before your match-up tonight, that THIS three-way affair was actually a… Championship Match! [The crowd appears confused as Tyler continues to make a mockery of the fallen Vicious.] So, without further adu, Let me introduce…

[Mr. Tyler slowly pulls himself up off of his knees; rather slowly as it’s quite obvious that the years of ‘wear-and-tear’ from constant battles within the ropes has gotten the best of him. With a look that can only be describe as “aggressive excitement”, Mr. Tyler proclaims the development of a NEW Championship Title within the DOA ranks; one that appears to be of his own creation.]

’The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler: The FIRST, and ONLY, Deadly Overloaded Action… Chokeout Champion… TORMENT!!

[Mr. Tyler grandly points toward his personal choice of a student, Torment, as the “Dungeon” crowd erupts into a state of utter-hatred for all involved; knowing that Vicious was screwed. Now, with the newly minted DOA Chokeout Championship gleaming in the “Dungeon” lights, Mr. Tyler hands the beautiful championship belt on over to its “rightful” owner; Torment.]

[With the crowd boo’ing like crazy in the background, unhappy over what has just taken place, Mr. Tyler is seen raising the arm of his self-appointed Champion; meanwhile, the DOA Chokeout Championship lays over the right shoulder of its inaugural owner.]

[With Vicious barely clinging to consciousness, and even Matthew Keith shocked by such a scenario, Mr. Tyler is seen congratulating Torment off the mic; all the while Rayne Man stairs down upon Vicious with a deadly look upon his face. One could say he was standing guard; however, there appears to be a deep seeded hatred brewing with Rayne’s body… Focused on the very man he helped to destroy here tonight.]

Grade: D

Davis Detterich: Is there ANYTHING that Mr. Tyler won’t mettle in? First, he practically threatens Greg Black’s life, then he forces his own will upon our last match, and NOW… He’s unveiled a brand new championship to the DOA; one that was NEVER even hinted upon in the past few weeks. What the HELL is going on? [seems beside himself] Is this “Rapid Assault” still - OR - have we stumbled upon “ Mr. Tyler’s Hour of Madness”?

John Greed: He introduced a new title, What’s the big deal? The executives at Arcadia will probably fawn over any development Mr. Tyler puts forth. I mean, He IS a Wrestling Legend, Davis… and this title only personifies the exact method he once ruled this very industry with… Submission-based wrestling! It seems like a perfect fit! You’re just getting ‘crotchety’ over what YOU feel is an ‘injustice’; when really, it’s simply how things work around here…

Davis Detterich: How things work? How things WORK?!?! So, Mr. Tyler can now tell competitors AFTER their match that it was actually for a Championship belt? One that hadn’t even existed a few days ago? THIS… Is how things WORK?!?! Are you INSANE?!?!?! Where’s the order?

John Greed: The order lies in… Shut-the-f*ck up! [Laughs] What a Night! [Laughs again] We have a NEW Championship, the DOA Chokeout Championship, and our very first champion is none other than… TORMENT! Genius! Pure Genius!

Davis Detterich: Oh, So blatant insanity can pose as genius?

John Greed: I guess, since you can pass as an announcer…

Totally Supreme (Dick Eyezen & Tom Kornell)
… A ‘Trust Retreat’ …

[We comeback from a lengthy third-party promotional break to instantly witness the sight of “Totally Supreme” standing along side a black el camino; somewhere along a quiet gravel road. Awkwardly, Both men are wearing their ring attire, which easily stands out as ‘weird’ given that they are no longer in “The Dungeon”; however, it appears as if they are nervously kicking at the dirt below as an explanation for the mysterious layout is slowly unveiled.]

Tom Kornell: So, well… uh… Yea. [Deep Breath] I know we’re almighty rulers of this industry and all, and I know that our eventual rise to the top of this company is inevitable, BUT… We’re really not ‘connecting as a team’. Ya know? I mean, sometimes… I feel… Like you’re standing there with me… But, You’re not… Well, ‘really there with me’. Does that make sense? I’m not sure if it does… Oh, I don’t know.

[Dick extends his right arm outward; resting it atop Tom’s shoulder in a comforting fashion. Funny enough, though, what comes out of Dick’s voice isn’t really all that comforting; whether by tone or message.]

Dick Eyezen: IT’S OKAY, TOM. I GET IT. I JUST… I DON’T SWING THAT WAY. SURE, BACK IN THE 70’s I WOULD HAVE JUMPED AT THE CHANCE, BUT NOW, I’M A FAMILY MAN!!

[Tom rolls his eyes with a level of annoyance underneath it all. Motioning to Dick that he needs to turn his hearing aide up a little, while responding.]

Tom Kornell: No… Dick. That’s not what I’m talking about. [stares at his partner; somewhat annoyed] Don’t you remember the plan? You and I… Working as a team to destroy the DOA? Our first phase being to win the Death-Defying Duo Championships and the second being…

[Tom trails off as he looks over to the side in which to mask that he has NO IDEA what their second phase will be. Instead, using distance and sheer muttering to cast a level of ambiguity to his statement. Meanwhile, Dick has removed his hand from Tom’s shoulder and starts to nod his head in acceptance.]

Dick Eyezen: Wasn’t the second phase to buy ice cream for the entire DOA roster so they thought we liked them? Then, we would strike when their tummies were full of delicious goodness?

[Tom, again, rolls his eyes with annoyance.]

Tom Kornell: [said in a sarcastic tone] I have no idea why we aren’t connecting as a team… Must be all of this seriousness between the two of us.

[Dick nods his head; unaware that Tom has just made fun of him.]

Tom Kornell: We can’t stand aside and watch other teams like The Moral Majority, Feline Fancy, and The Tokyo Express steal all the limelight! We’re wrestling GODS!! [Catches himself] Well, GODS in the sense that we have gloated egos & really have nothing to show for it.

[both men nod in agreement, As if this was second nature.]

Tom Kornell: Needless to say, I contacted a nearby children’s camp in which to better teach us the ways of ‘trusting one another’. For, until we find a sense of trust, we will almost certainly continue to crash and burn!

Dick Eyezen: I don’t know if I can change my ways. Crashing and burning seems pretty much ingrained in my being. I mean, I’m the one who put the SWF title on my talentless, joke of a son!

Tom Kornell: True… And I’m the one who decided to push Rocky Golden to the moon despite his glaring awkwardness within my product.

[Again, both men begin to nod in agreement; as if it’s second nature.]

Tom Kornell: I guess, Look at today as a way to strengthen our bond! [stops Dick before he can speak; as it looks like he was] I’m not talking about THAT kind of Bond, Dick. I have a wife.

Dick Eyezen: You call that horse of yours a wife?

Tom Kornell: For tax purposes here in the states; yes.

[Collective nodding in agreement.]

Tom Kornell: Let’s just get in there…

[Just then, a video montage of all that happens during the day is shown: A ‘trust fall’ between the two men ends with Dick pinning a few innocent kids underneath his body, Tom Kornell swinging down on a rip-chord; slamming into Dick’s head & seemingly knocking him out in the process, Dick seemingly sharing his feelings in a ‘trust circle’ as Tom simply walks away with his hands above his head; in a state of absolute annoyance, Dick and Tom then forcibly hugging each other in that same ‘trust circle’, and finally Dick attempting to make smores; however, ending up lighting everything on fire around him; including himself. This is all seen while a purely generic 80’s rock song blares in the background; creating an amazingly corny feeling to the entire video package.]

[After a long day of accidental assaults of children, awkward hugging, and the occasional ‘out of control’ fire, we now witness the sight of Tom Kornell and Dick Eyezen slowly limping away from the local Children’s camp; a fact that seems to make the camp goers very happy… To see the leave!]

Tom Kornell: Do you hear that? They’re cheering us!

Dick Eyezen: It kinda makes you wanna return your golden heart made out of expensive satellite pieces in which to have a human heart again; to feel… Love.

[Tom looks over at Dick; who looks as if he’s about to cry.]

Tom Kornell: Normally, I would question your very existence as a man… however, after today, I know accept you for you. Even if you are a grumpy, old and crotchety, stuck in your ways, non-creative, insanely terrible booker with a wish to drive this industry into the depths of hell.

Dick Eyezen: That’s so touching…

[Dick looks away; as if he’s going to cry.]

Dick Eyezen: I told myself… I… wouldn’t… cry…

[Tom embraces his partner in a side-ways hug as the two walk off of the camp grounds; closer than ever, however, still awkwardly opposites.]

Grade: D

John Greed: That… was… Amazing! [Laughs]

Davis Detterich: Did you see the part when Dick practically drove this kids into the ground by falling on them? I thought the camp counselor was going to have a heart attack! [Laughs]

John Greed: If anything, This just goes to show you kids… Don’t grow up to be like Tom or Dick; you’ll have a lifetime of personal failure waiting in the wings.

Davis Detterich: Well said…

John Greed and Davis Detterich
… The Network steps in …

[We return to the “Dungeon” with the sight of John Greed and Davis Detterich seated atop their personal balcony; overlooking the ringside area with a slight birds-eye-view of the action 20 feet below. There appears to be a slight grin on both of their faces, coming off of the mind-numbing hilarity from the comedic pairing of “Totally Supreme”, interjecting their own views upon what we had just saw; all with a light-hearted tone.]

John Greed: Are these guys for real? [Laughs] I guess you can call them the “Davis Detterich” of the Death-Defying Duo…

Davis Detterich: [Laughs until he realizes what John just said.] Wait… What does that mean?

John Greed: They’re a complete joke… As… Are you.

[Davis instantly shrugs off John’s insistent need to ‘verbally jab him’ as it appears he is receiving word from the show’s producer in his ear; holding his right hand in which to drown-out the loud buzz circulating through out the “Dungeon”.]

John Greed: What’s wrong? Your brain oozing out of your head?

[Davis continues to ignore John; listening to what he’s being told by the show’s producer. A fact that appears to piss off John to no end.]

Davis Detterich: Folks, I’m receiving word from our producer that the Arcadia Network wants to issue a mandated order for tonight’s Main Event…

[Davis continues to listen; meanwhile, John looks like a 10-year old punk… annoyed that no one is paying attention to him. So, instead of being a ‘good little boy’, he decides to act out like a little bastard.]

John Greed: Did you know that Davis’s mom weights roughly 400 pounds? The only exercise she gets is when she hears the ice cream man strolling down her street.

[Davis continues to shrug off John; again, still pissing him off to no end. However, Davis counteracts his degenerate-like behavior by bestowing a shocking decree by the Network upon all DOA “Dead-Heads” watching tonight’s episode of “Rapid Assault”]

Davis Detterich: We’ve just received word from the Network that tonight’s main event will not allow ANYONE, outside of the competitors themselves and Eugene Williams, to be within the ringside area. If anyone, and they mean ANYONE, simply comes through the “Dungeon Gateway” during the Main Event; they will be instantly FIRED by the Network & removed from Deadly Overloaded Action!! WOW…

John Greed: Doesn’t change anything… Acid and Rayne Man are still ten times the fighters that Vicious and Black are. If anything, this hurts Vicious and Black as NO ONE can come save them from a ‘Grade-A’ beating!

Davis Detterich: One could make that case; however, it appears that the Network is unhappy with how things have gone so far on tonight’s broadcast. While it’s only speculation, at this point, it seems that Network executives are calling Mr. Tyler’s ability to govern into question! OH MY GOD… My prayers have been answered! Sweet Jesus!

John Greed: WHAT?!?! This is complete BULL! That man is a LEGEND… A LEGEND!! And yet the Network treats him like this? Undermining his ability to govern? What’s to say Mr. Tyler would have even come out during the Main Event?

[Davis simply looks at John with a “WTF?” look on his face.]

John Greed: What?!… [Talks under his breath; in a pouting like fashion] You think you know everything… just because you went to ‘college’… with your degree and your fancy talking… whatever.

Grade: C-

[John continues to look away; pouting. Meanwhile, Davis Detterich simply looks straight toward the camera… shrugging his shoulders as if he doesn’t know what’s going on with his partner in crime either.]

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Wrestlers/JayChord.jpghttp://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Versus/_BlankBackground.jpghttp://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Wrestlers/SteveFlash_alt8.jpg
Jay Chord vs. Steve Flash
Singles Match

Steve Flash appears to be in a foul mood; focused, driven, and determined to ‘prove himself’, yet again, in face of challenging someone half-his-age. The sheer notion that someone like “The Remarkable One”, after years of practically paving the New York Indy scene all by his lonesome, would have to ‘prove his worth’, in any way/shape/form, is widely considered to be borderline insanity. In Pro Wrestling, We love and cherish our idols; Steve Flash being one of them to many. Sadly, Mr. Tyler doesn’t seem to agree.

The initial opening seconds of this generational struggle sets the tone as it appears that both men are about to meet in the center of the ring with a collar-elbow tie-up; only for Jay Chord to quickly back away… Slapping Steve Flash forcibly across the cheek with his right hand. An arrogant smirk grows upon the controversial youngster as he playfully jogs away from his opponent; looking out upon the crowd and laughing at the fact that he turned Flash into a spectacle straight out of the gate.

While it may seem like a ‘good idea’ in the mind of the Arrogant Chord; Reality says otherwise.

Steve Flash quickly rushes his opponent; violently throwing down like a drunken-sailor with a ‘death wish’, Assaulting Jay into the nearby turnbuckle until a final right handed shot forces Chord to crash downward upon the canvas below. The DOA “Dead-Heads” in attendance shower “The Remarkable One” with a wave of admiration as the stand-out veteran continues to focus his attack on his much younger opponent; hopefully beating some sense into him in the process.

Sadly, while this altercation appears to be “One for the Ages”; Truthfully, It was not.

Something didn’t seem to click between these two talented individuals. In what SHOULD be a ‘hands-down’ match of the year candidate, the truest potential for this ‘dream match’ never really came to be. Just when it seems like these two competitors are finally finding their ‘stride’ with one another; a botched maneuver here, and an awkward exchange there, brings all greatness crashing to a halt. Needless to say, Despite the epic warfare attempted by both men… The crowd slowly begins to wane in their interest for what’s happening. Instead, gravitating slowly toward a low sense of chatter while aimlessly awaiting the matches end.

It isn’t ALL bad though as Steve Flash appears to ‘keep up’ with the much younger Jay Chord all the way through the match; never really slowing down, however, obviously not as quick to rebound as his opponent. In reality, there is a major difference in athletic ability between both men as Jay Chord appears to be ‘in a whole other league’; while Flash utilizes his keen intelligence to ‘out-smart’ his gifted competitor. Not so much relying on high impact moves; but rather, trying to keep Jay grounded for the most part.

At one point, I looks like Steve Flash is on the verge of victory…

Attempting his signature “Flash Bang” (Side Belly-to-Back Suplex)…

However, Just as Flash picks up Chord… Jay desperately grabs the nearest rope…

So, instead of Jay taking the brunt of the maneuver, Instead, Steve Flash goes crashing to the canvas below while his chosen victim is able to grasp the nearest turnbuckle rope; using it as a crutch as he dangles off of his feet.

Jay had his opportunities as well; however, Steve always found a way to kick out. Even if that meant kicking out on a 2 and 3/4th’s count; it didn’t really matter. The main narrative is forming that Steve simply won’t give up! Even when it’s probably best that he should… He never allows himself to lose.

This fact enrages the youngster as it’s quite obvious that frustration is getting the best of him. While brawling outside of the ring, Jay attempts a high-risk dive off of the apron… Only to have Steve quickly re-direct his body weight up against the steel guardrail instead. While the impact isn’t necessarily career-threatening; it certainly has to hurt.

With both men still brawling on the outside and Steve Flash, once again, awaiting his opponent to slowly stagger back to his feet while signifying ANOTHER “Flash Bang” attempt… Frustration gets the best of Jay…

While finally pulling himself back to his feet, Jay quickly grabs a nearby steel chair… Spinning back around in a lightning quick manor and planting the cold steel square over Flash’s head!

The strike isn’t done out of malice or even out of hatred for Flash. Simply, Jay is unable to keep his frustration in check; annoyed that his much older opponent is actually ‘keeping up with him’. This is the reason why he struck Steve over the head with a steel chair. Ultimately acting out in a combination of: Desperation, Fear, Frustration, and Annoyance.

Eugene Williams quickly calls for the bell in favor of Steve Flash; however, the DOA “Dead-Heads” begin to instantly reject the decision; boo’ing like crazy. Meanwhile, Jay is seen grumpily leaving the ringside area like a 5 year-old on the verge of a temper tantrum; pissed off about what has just happened, even if it was his own mistake that brought it on. All in all, Chord’s inability to ‘put the old man away’ is what did him in. He ‘snapped’ and acted out of desperation by simply striking Flash with a chair; most likely tired of the resiliency of the much older, much more respected, Flash.

Steve Flash defeats Jay Chord in 14:19 via DQ when Jay Chord struck Flash with a Steel Chair.
Grade: D-

Davis Detterich: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?!

John Greed: That chair shot came from nowhere! [Laughs] It looked like he practically took Flash’s head off with that strike!

Davis Detterich: Was he sensing that he couldn’t beat Steve Flash? So, instead of outright losing, he decides to get himself Disqualified?

John Greed: Oh, He could definitely defeat Steve Flash; we were only a few minutes away from that happening. Sure, the old man kept up this far but can you imagine what he would have looked like in just a few more minutes? While he could have done it in his prime, Pushing a 20 minute match at this point of Flash’s career would be outright suicide!

Davis Detterich: Steve had him… He was about to put him away with a “Flash Bang” on the outside of the ring and Jay destroyed all of that with a blatant DQ! That’s complete crap! Be a man, Jay! Be a man and take a loss like one. Don’t just hide behind weapon strikes in which to ‘save face’.

John Greed: Oh, Blah… Blah… Blah… I bet you wouldn’t be so ‘tough’ if the youngster was standing right here before you.

Davis Detterich: Shutup, John. I’m trying to make a point here…

John Greed: That’ll be the day…

The Moral Majority (Citizen X, Mainstream Hernandez, Prudence, and Grace)
… Praying for Guidance …

[We comeback from a short inter-promotional break hyping the new 90 minute length of “Rapid Assault” , starting with our next episode, to witness the sight of “The Moral Majority” all kneeling in a circle; praying as a cohesive community. While their religious devotion is something to be cherished, their obvious hypocritical mantra appears to be on full-blast as both Prudence, and Grace, are seen wearing little-to-nothing while praying with their holy brethren. Clad in black push-up bras, protruding from their slinky lace tops, these two sexual-beings look as if they belong, more-so, in a Porno versus a prayer circle. Never the less, with the sound of a heavy negative reaction roaring from within the ringside area, The Moral Majority appear to be deep in a state of spiritual homage.]

Citizen X: Give us the strength to act as your sword; to smite the wicked that plague our existence. Let us find peace in their destruction.

Mainstream Hernandez: We wish not harm on anyone; however, those who defy your ’voice’ shall perish in the flames of violence. Your word will spread by our hand; we will make sure of it.

[With that, the sound of a forceful entry is heard. The DOA camera man quickly pans out slightly in which to generate a larger scene; and in doing so, witnesses the sight of Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow standing within the room. With an devilish grin upon his face, The “Pecker-Wrecker” aggressively confronts those who ‘screwed him‘ out of the DOA Championship in last week‘s Main Event Ladder Match. Meanwhile, Prudence and Grace are seen cracking their eyes open slightly in which to gaze upon the SINNER himself; potentially entranced by his raging persona.]

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow
… Inspired by Revenge …

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: You can pray all you want, but, that’s not going to stop me from kicking your asses all around this room!

[Mainstream, in a mutual show of disrespect, simply extends his pointer finger upward in which to signify “one minute” to Matty. All the while, both Citizen X and Mainstream Hernandez continue to pray; keeping their eyes shut the entire time. Meanwhile, Prudence and Grace are seen continuing to break from their focus in which to stare upon the arch-nemesis of the Moral Majority; a fact that gives Matty an idea for how to break X and Mainstream’s focus.]

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: Hello… Ladies, You both look so… beautiful… on your knees!

[His degenerate-like behavior quickly breaks the, once, impenetrable focus of “The Moral Majority” as Mainstream Hernandez, and Citizen X, quickly raise to their feet. Forcibly confronting Matty in the middle of the room. While no punches are thrown, It’s obvious that these warring sub-cultures are hitting a boiling point.]

Mainstream Hernandez: HOW DARE YOU!!!

Citizen X: These women are not here for your amusement!! [snarls in Matty’s direction] It would be in your best interest to leave, Matthew. [slight Pause] Before we are forced to… remove you… from this room ourselves!

[Matty, knowing that he’s now under the skin of his enemies, quickly transforms back into his loose, arrogant, self; smirking as it creates a stark contrast to the Moral Majority’s current mood.]

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: First, I’ve seen less cleavage on strippers. [Laughs] However, these girls can wear it like the best of em… [smirking in their direction; nodding his head in the process] Secondly, I’m not going anywhere. [snaps his attention back to Citizen X and Mainstream Hernandez.] I was on the verge of winning the DOA Championship last week and you two decided to take that away from me. Now, I’m no… virgin… when it comes to being…’screwed over’. [slight Pause; crassly smirking] But, you two, went a step too far when you pulled the title out of my reach.

[Citizen X continues to snarl in Matty’s direction as Mainstream Hernandez quickly responds; almost cutting Matty off in the process. Ultimately, showing a real sense of fervor.]

Mainstream Hernandez: A step too far? Really? Coming from the man who pushes the envelope on a weekly basis? [slight Pause; allowing his message to sink in.] If anything, We did this show a favor; keeping YOU from the DOA Championship! [slight Pause] What kind of message is the DOA sending if it allows a blatant SINNER to carry it’s top crown? [slight Pause] Why should we all have to stand aside and watch a disgusting HEATHEN bask in the glory of greatness? Now, I don’t know what kind of pact you made with the Devil to get to this point; however, we’re going to see to it that it NEVER takes hold!

[A heated stare down between the two sides is seen; neither breaking their focus.]

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: I’d rather be a SINNER than a power-hungry, hypocritical, sheep!

[The tension in the room gets even stronger now as it looks like the “Moral Majority” may be on the verge of turning this verbal altercation into a physical one.]

Citizen X: What we did last week was nothing less than “Justice from Above”. [slight Pause] Your demonic ways needed to be dealt with; and we did exactly that!

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: Oh yea? How about you try to ‘deal with it’… Oh, lets say… Next WEEK! You two against me… A 2 on 1 Handi-cap match!

[The mood of the “Moral Majority” drastically changes as they begin to heartily laugh; showing a sense that they are unafraid of their enemy.]

Mainstream Hernandez: Oh Matthew, You don’t get it, do you? [smirks] We would LOVE to smash your skull into the canvas next week; however, we’ve moved onto bigger, and better, things. [slight Pause] Mr. Tyler really gave us the ‘kick in the butt’ that we needed. No longer are we going to stand aside and allow others to trample over our rise; instead, We have to put our own wants, and needs, into focus.

Citizen X: Sure, you’re absolute destruction would bring us true happiness. However, you are only ONE SINNER in a world full of Vile Individuals. [Laughs] If we focus all of our attention on you, Then we will eventually allow the others to slip on through; ultimately letting our ‘grand creator’ down.

Mainstream Hernandez: We have our sights set for the DOA Death-Defying Duo Championships. For when we take possession of them, Our cause will find an even greater pedestal to stand upon! [Looks to Matty; shaking his head] A match with you would only deter us from our goals. So, we’re sorry to inform you of this Matty, BUT, you’ll have to find another ‘tree to bark at’ as you continue down your road of GOD-less living.

[Matty appears to be growing with intensity; mad over what’s being said as he wants revenge for last week!]

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: You don’t want a match? That’s fine… [slight Pause; stares down the Moral Majority] I’ll change your mind in time… One… Violent… Strike… At a time!

[The tension appears to be at an all-time high as DOA security members quickly rush into the room; separating the two bitter enemies from each other. A sense of mass-hysteria fills the environment as Matty is forcibly removed from the room; however, not before he can leave one final message for “The Moral Majority”.]

Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow: When you ditch these two ‘holy rollers’, Come find me… I’ll be the one the BIG…

[in an act of censorship, The Arcadia Network quickly cuts the feed just before Matty can end his final statement; directed at Prudence and Grace. Overall, while it appears that “The Moral Majority” wants to move on to greater opportunities, something feels like Matty isn’t going to allow that to happen; hell-bent on revenge.]

Grade: D

John Greed: This is what you get with Matty Sparrow… He forces the Network to have to begrudgingly censor his statements. I mean, Hell… This is Arcadia! [Laughs] They HATE to censor pretty much anything! Just shows you how crass this punk really is…

Davis Detterich: Yes, He’s not for everybody. However, He has a point for his rage; The Moral Majority literally stole a DOA Championship victory from him last week! That would piss off ANYONE!

John Greed: He doesn’t deserve to be the Champ anyways…

Davis Detterich: That’s an understandable argument, John, BUT, you can’t deny the fact that he won the 20 man “Overloaded Overthrow” to become the #1 Contender. Then, was inches from winning the Title on the previous episode! I mean, How else could you prove that you’re worthy enough to be the Champ? He literally came CLOSE to defeating Acid, and the only reason he lost was because of the Moral Majority’s interference!

John Greed: I don’t need to justify my reasoning. It’s as simple as this… Matty Sparrow… Does NOT… Deserve… to be… THE… DOA… CHAMPION!!

Eric Tyler, The Elder Statesman, and Torment ©
… An Alliance is slowly forming …

[We transition from the heated verbal altercation between “The Moral Majority” and Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow to instantly witness the sight of “The Voice of Reason” Eric Tyler standing before a closed-circuit TV prompter; watching the ringside area slowly begin to build with excitement as the Main Event draws near. The shocking decree of the Network, forcing EVERYONE to stay clear of the Main Event, has limited Mr. Tyler’s ability to “influence the outcome” of tonight’s most anticipated match; a reality that leaves the grizzled wrestling legend wallowing in a state of absolute hatred.]

[While it may be somewhat awkward to see “The Voice of Reason” standing ‘behind the scenes’ when such an iconic match is set to take place; One thing is not so shocking to say the least: He isn’t alone.]

[standing behind Mr. Tyler is: The Elder Statesman and Torment ©. Two men who have become quite ‘close’ to the “Voice of Reason” as of late; a small facet of a brewing faction between Tyler, Statesman, Torment, Acid, and Rayne Man.]

[All in all, It looks as if Mr. Tyler could carve a deep valley, just before the TV screen, as he continues to pace back and forth; aggressively staring at the closed-circuit prompter before him in the process. Ultimately, Removed from where he’d RATHER BE… The Ringside area. ]

Grade: D-

Davis Detterich: It’s eating Eric Tyler up inside… You can tell by the look upon his face! Having to steer clear of the Ringside area for the Main Event… [Laughs] It’s finally great to see a sense of ORDER here in Deadly Overloaded Action! Well, I guess I should clarify that a little bit more… ORDER in the sense of not allowing Mr. Tyler to influence ANOTHER match here in the “Dungeon”. It seems like, lately, he’s had his hand in on EVERY outcome.

John Greed: As he should, He’s the “Voice of Reason”… for a reason! He knows what’s best for this company, what’s best for this industry, and I’ll take his ‘choice of superstar’ over yours anyday, Davis!

Davis Detterich: He’s the VOICE… of Reason… Not the “Hand of Reason”. The network didn’t bring him on in which to manipulate the outcome of our matches. They brought him in in which to oversee the development of the DOA. So far, he’s done nothing more than systematically turning the “Dungeon” into his own little kingdom; forcing his will upon all of those who dare walk within it.

John Greed: The Network may have ‘cracked down’ tonight; however, next week I’m sure we’ll hear a personal apology centered toward Mr. Tyler. There wouldn’t be a DOA… WITHOUT… Eric Tyler!

Davis Detterich: That statement is arguable… But, something that isn’t arguable is that RIGHT NOW… The Main event is set to take place & NO ONE will be allowed at ringside! [slight Pause] If anyone so far as walks out through the “Dungeon Gateway”, They’ll be fired by the Network instantly. [Laughs] Now that I think about it, I HOPE Mr. Tyler makes an appearance at ringside… I’d LOVE to see the Network can his egotistical ass!

John Greed: Learn to show some respect, Davis. Eric Tyler is a Wrestling GOD!

Davis Detterich: A GOD? No. A D*CK? Sure.

Acid and Rayne Man vs. Greg Black and Matty Sparrow
Standard Tag Team Match-up (Not under a Death-Defying Duo rule set)
Network Decree: If anyone (outside of those in this match) simply walks through the "Dungeon Gateway"; They will be FIRED!

It’s pretty obvious that Matty “The Pecker-Wrecker” Sparrow and Greg Black don’t really like each other; it’s evident in their untrusting stare. Also, in the way that they forcibly tag each other in; in a way, instilling a sense of violence even between partners. Needless to say, there is a high level of tension forming within the “Dungeon” as their awkward pairing looks to threaten their ability to defeat Tyler’s men.

Meanwhile, Acid and Rayne Man appear to be functioning like a well-oiled-machine; strong, confident, and seamlessly moving from one legal man to the next. In a way, There is a stark contrast between both teams as Tyler’s men continue to carry the narrative that they are the more-versed, better acquainted, of the two.

With that being said, even with bitter hatred brewing between Sparrow and Black, this certainly is not a one-sided altercation. Actually, it’s quite the opposite as both teams truly develop a strong sense of “openness” to their warfare; neither team really pulling away with absolute domination, however, both compelling the DOA audience to believe that victory is not too far away.

At one point, It appears that Matty and Greg are on the verge of attacking each other; however, refrain as Acid attempts to take advantage of their deterred focus. Instead, shockingly working as a cohesive unit; aggressively flooring the DOA Champion with a double-team suplex maneuver that would typically come from most, better educated, teams. This fact turns the “Dungeon” into a frenzied state as they desperately want to see Black and Sparrow come away with the win; showing their support with lengthy, sometimes drawn out, chants directed at the babyface tandem.

The crowd is pumped…

The action is continuing to climb…

The competitors are hell-bent on victory…

So, needless to say, it’s not too shocking to see Eugene Williams, head DOA referee, get caught in the middle of a flying shoulder strike from a wayward Rayne Man. The impact of such a blow, flooring the respected official in the process.

With Eugene down and out, Acid is seen attempting to slide a steel chair back into the ring; however, the chair never truly makes it there as Greg Black catches him from behind; utilizing fists of fury to remove the chair from his hands. Ultimately, leaving the deadly weapon laying on the outside of the ring.

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/EricTyler.jpg
Eric Tyler

With that, we quickly cut backstage to see Eric Tyler watching the action unfold on a small, closed-circuit, monitor; irate over what he’s seen thus far. With evil intentions raging through his body, The Wrestling Legend quickly turns around, surveying the area, and ultimately stopping Matthew Keith as he walks past the scene.

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Images%20for%20Angles/MathewKeith.jpg
Matthew Keith

The grizzled, self-obsessed, “Voice of Reason” is heard verbally attempting to force Matthew Keith to interfere on his teams behalf; aggressively obsessed with not having his tandem lose. Matthew, at first quite respectful, voices his fears that such an attack would certainly call in his release from Deadly Overloaded Action; however, Mr. Tyler doesn’t seem to really care about that. Instead, he tells Matthew that this MUST be done & if he doesn’t go down to the ring… He’ll personally be fired from the DOA by Mr. Tyler himself; citing that the only difference is HIS departure would be followed by a heinous assault from his allies.

Mr. Tyler informs Matthew that he was chosen due to the fact that he “let him down” earlier on in the night by not taking Johnny Vicious out for good. So, with a ‘damned if you do/damned if you don’t mentality raging within the young Keith, Matthew begrudgingly storms off the set… Heading toward the ringside area.

The “Dungeon” crowd appears shocked to see Matthew Keith walk through the “Dungeon Gateway”; knowing that it cements his release from the company. So, with a low buzz of confusion circulating within the sound stage, Matthew grumpily storms his way toward the ring, grabbing the steel chair originally dropped by Acid and sliding into the ring.

With Eugene Williams out cold, face down on the canvas as if he were in a train wreck, Matthew Keith is seen gripping the steel chair he snatched from outside of the ring; surveying the scenario at hand. And then it happens…

BAAAAAAAMMM!!!!!!

Matthew Keith strikes ACID, not Sparrow or Black, over the head with a steel chair!

Acid staggers down to his knees as Matthew lands one more shot across his forehead; collapsing his cruiserweight frame to the canvas below.

BAAAAAAM!!!

Rayne Man also takes a shot from Matthew Keith; forcing him to fall out of the ring, crashing to the cement floor below in a thunderous heap.

With the damage already done, Matthew throws his weapon back onto the canvas below in a forceful manor; obviously pissed off for what has transpired. However, in a shocking break of character, he’s seen looking straight into a nearby camera man (positioned on the apron) and verbally attacking Eric Tyler with an explicit laced tirade.

With time, and as the crowd stands along in a mixture of complete shock and euphoria, Matthew Keith exit’s the ringside area as “The Pecker-Wrecker” takes advantage of the situation given to him… Striking a staggering Acid with his signature “Testicular Thrashing” maneuver (A kick to the groin/DDT Combo); flooring him in the process.

Now, with Acid out cold on the canvas below… Matty goes for the pin…

However, Greg Black is seen quickly entering the ring; shortly after making a blind tag as Matty was dropping Acid with a DDT (Slapping his partner on the back; a legal tag if you will)…

Black quickly stomps his partner in the back of the head!!!

Matty rolls off of Acid and slowly pulls himself back to his feet; however, is unable to defend himself as Greg Black quickly strikes him in the stomach with a stiff kick…

Executing his signature “Black-Out” (Standing Suplex into a Stunner) upon his own partner, Matty Sparrow!!

With Matty out cold, and Acid much of the same, Greg Black is seen slapping Eugene Williams repeatedly in the face; attempting to wake him up.

His attempt proves to be successful as Eugene slowly comes back too… Slowly moving in for a pinfall count as Greg Black leaps atop Acid.

1...

2..

3.

Greg Black STOLE Matty Sparrow’s pinfall attempt! However, picks up a victory for his team in the process. The DOA “Dungeon” appears to be in a state of extreme happiness seeing Acid lose for the first time in company history, but, there also appears to be a sense of shock hovering above the ringside area as Matty was screwed… yet again!

Greg Black and Matty Sparrow defeat Acid and Rayne Man in 11:44 when Greg Black pinned Acid.
Grade: C-

Davis Detterich: ACID LOSES!! ACID LOSES!!! GOOD GOD… ACID HAS LOST A MATCH!!

John Greed: It’s a fluke…

Davis Detterich: Fluke, or not, Greg Black has just pinned the DOA Champion!!

John Greed: Yea, after Matthew Keith softened him up with two steel chair strikes! Plus, stole the winning pinfall attempt from his own partner. [Laughs] “Bravo”, Greg. You really showed them how “great” you are… Having others do your dirty work for you!

Davis Detterich: That brings me to my other point, John. Have we seen the last of Matthew Keith? The Network said if ANYONE interfered in tonight’s Main Event, they would be fired on the spot. [in disbelief] While normally I agree with the fact that this decree was needed… This isn’t FAIR to Matthew! He was damned if you do, Damned if you don’t! He had no choice in the matter!!

John Greed: He had a choice; to help Acid win!! Maybe, then, Mr. Tyler would have fought to keep him on board even with the Network firing him. Bad move, Matthew. Bad move!

Davis Detterich: I guess we’ll find out for sure next week!! [Overwhelmed as you can tell] Tune in NEXT WEEK DOA “Dead-Heads” as “Rapid Assault” extends its broadcast by an extra 30 minutes; giving you 90 minutes of in-your face, shock-and-awe, wrestling! No one can match that!!! [slight Pause] See you next week on DOA… “R-R-R-R-RRRRAAAAPID ASSAULT”!!!

Great show, as always Eisen! Really liked the ending for the Vicious - Torment - Keith match, although I do feel sorry for Keith at the moment - he'd become a bit of a whipping boy until the main event. Good to see Totally Supreme were up to their usual standards

CZCW · April 6, 2010

Hells'Frajuckin'Yes!!!

Great show E-V. Everything from top to bottom was awesome! What's going to happen to Matthew Keith now that he's fired? Is it legit or is it a storyline? I'm sure you won't tell me but I was shocked to see him interfere. Then again he didn't really have a choice with Mr. Tyler threatening to fire him anyways. If it's just a storyline then we may be witnessing the 'rise of Keith' (as you would put it).

Loved the show man!

Thank you, jhd1!

The Vicious/Keith/Torment match was a fun one to write as I knew it was going to be overbooked from the start. With that knowledge, It was kinda fun to tap even farther into a 'crash-TV' kind of style (as the DOA strongly has shades of). This way, It continues the Johnny Vicious's climb, shows how things will be for Vicious now that Mr. Tyler has been delegated in charge of overseeing Vicious's rise, and also introduces the DOA Chokeout Championship through a storyline/victory by Torment. So, now going forward, everything works out pretty well from a storyline perspective.

With that said, I'm excited to start diving into the Chokeout division in the DOA. Unlike TNA, I really hope to create two different sub-culture divisions within the DOA. The first being "The Death-Defying Duo Division" and the other being the "Chokeout Division". So, in a sense, if you're not in-line for a DOA Championship opportunity then you may find yourself trying to find a place within the niche of these two divisions. One built upon fast-paced, seamless action, and the other based in the typical DOA "Modern" approach; however, with the only outcome being derived from a submission hold versus the option of a pinfall.

As for Keith, Yea, His character (especially tonight) was suppose to be that of a whipping boy; if you will. That way it makes sense once he finally snaps after being forced down to the ring by Mr. Tyler.

Snaps... Attacks Acid/Rayne Man (making him pretty beloved by the fans in two single strikes) and walks away from the DOA... "For good".

Hells'Frajuckin'Yes!!!

Thank you, CZCW!!

Great to know that the show hit you that much! To be honest, I feel like I say this after every show, but I'm really proud of this show: Old Storylines moved forward, new storylines ignited, a new Championship was brought to the DOA, and a continued sense of character development for a lot of my 'cast members'. Needless to say, despite the drop in the ratings, I'm really happy with how it all came together. (plus, These things take me forever to write up. haha. So, It's nice to have out to say the least).

With Keith, I don't want to go too far into detail... However, You MAY not have seen the last of him in Deadly Overloaded Action. That being said, You may have too. ha. Who knows.

Speaking of that scenario though, I really think Mr. Tyler took a whole new step as a character; showing a sense of blatant fear by the end of the show. Not in the classic "I'm afraid of...." kind of scenario but rather in the fact that he saw his men losing & he, in desperation, forced a supposed ally to get himself fired all in the name of his cause. While it didn't turn out as he would have hoped, most likely uber-pissed at Keith for what was done, it shows that he's not 'always in control of his emotions' (Something that's unique to his character thus far). Even the post-Vicious match segment shows that Tyler is starting to take things pretty personal within the DOA; again, something pretty new to his character. With that being said, He's easily my favorite person to write for in this diary. Hands down. There are some GREAT characters to write for, but, Eric really stands out for me thus far.

Now, with the Network starting to breathe down his neck, it'll be interesting to see how his sense of control will start to wane as he's challenged by his superiors. Up until now, Tyler has been the BE-ALL-END-ALL Authority in the DOA; with only whispers of the Network being heard. However, now, it seems like the Arcadia Network is starting to take a slightly more aggressive stance with it's TV Show. Ultimately, Should make for a great scenario as it continues to 'flesh out'.

Also, In an un-related note: I have a tentative card set up for the "Middle-of-the-Season 1" PPV Event (show #12; we just finished with show #8) and I'm crazy excited to get to that point. What a card!! With that being said, some development must go into how these matches come together by then; however, I have 3 episodes in which to do so! Therefore, I'm not too afraid about that. Crazy excited though!

ReapeR · April 6, 2010

SWEET!!!

Excellent show EV. Loved intro to the Chokeout division. (That sure is a purty title)

Seriously, a great read through and through. All the storylines go through Tyler and his group, yet you write it so well balanced, that you don't realize it until your done.

That probably doesn't make sense, but basically, everything flows rather nicely.

Keep up the great work, and I'll keep reading.

Coming from the 'creative genius that is ReapeR'; I'll certainly take that! Thank you!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Chokeout Championship render (for all of them really)! It's a beautiful piece of artwork and something I plan on using quite a bit over this diaries duration!!

I really try to pride myself behind creating a well-thought out, well developed, show. Sometimes I miss the mark, sometimes I may hit the mark. Either way, It's great to know that someone of your caliber enjoys the show, R!

It truly means a lot to hear from you as well, So again, Thank you!

(If "Thank you" was the word of the day at Pee Wee Herman's playhouse then there'd be a whole lot of yelling during my last post. ha. Yep, A Pee Wee Herman reference. What may he talk about next? ).

Crazy excited though!

By the way, how are the titles arranged? Are the Chokeout and Death-Defying Duo both midcard or floating? Definitely a great idea to have all three as they are each so different. USPW, on the other hand, has three identical titles (World, National and TV) just at (slightly) different levels.

As for the Midseason PPV, can't wait! You know I'm in a similar position with PPV 2 so I know resisting the urge to rush to it is painful

On top of that, I'm expecting a wild show to debut 90 minutes - remind me again, why isn't DOA global!?

Great question, jhd1. This is how the titles are set so far:

DOA Championship = Main Event -- (B Prestige)

DOA Death-Defying Duo = Floating -- (C- Prestige)

DOA Chokeout = Floating -- (D+ Prestige)

I decided to utilize both as "floating" simply because they are more based upon the action within the ring (and how they differ from the other titles) than a 'card level'.

Also, I agree! It makes for a much more interesting writing process to have three titles who all have their own sub-culture underneath it all. It feels like there's a unique tone from one Championship match to the next; something that really helps me to not get bored while writing shows!

As for the Midseason PPV, can't wait! You know I'm in a similar position with PPV 2 so I know resisting the urge to rush to it is painful

I agree 100%. I'm really excited, but, I'm really trying to slow things down a bit. Mostly for my own sanity to be honest.

On top of that, I'm expecting a wild show to debut 90 minutes - remind me again, why isn't DOA global!?

Episode #9 (the first 90 minute broadcasting of "Rapid Assault") is already shaping up to be a purely crazy event. There will be some new faces, some psychotic scenarios, and a sense of grandeur that typically personifies Deadly Overloaded Action! Crash-TV at it's best!

Also, God, I wish we were Global. ha. Would make hiring A LOT easier...

critical-23 · April 6, 2010

Kudos, great show, etc., etc. . .I should have put in my reasoning for picking Black/Sparrow to win as Black would probably attack Sparrow just to make sure he wins the match as it makes sense.

- Black's out for himself and this match proved it. Good writing, sir.

- And what's the deal with Matthew Keith? Please tell me he didn't sign with a bigger company!!!!!

- Last thing, if I could, i would make two t-shirts: One with that awesome Rayne Man alt pic and the other with Matty's John Holmes-inspired alt. You think I am kidding but I really would, no friggin' lie, lol.

- Black's out for himself and this match proved it. Good writing, sir.

Why thank you, Critical-23!

The way I envision Black's jump to the DOA is as such; He leaves SWF as he felt he was being held down by years of 'Eisen Opression'. First labeled as 'only a tag wrestler' and later released when he was given Eisen's word that he would be pushed as a singles star (shortly after his tag partner leaves for TCW). That push never comes, and instead, Greg practically begs for his release for months. In the end, he's finally granted what he wants after the SWF Camp realizes that Black won't resign with them due to a lack of any direction for his character. So, he decides to 'shake up the industry' by chosing DOA over TCW.

Why didn't he go to TCW? That's where Benny is. Sooner or later, They would be forced to form a tag team, once again, within TCW in which to bolster their tag division. This, alone, forces Black to stray away from Cornell as he doesn't want to fall under the same spell that kept him behind in "The Land of Supreme".

So, he causes havoc by joining the upstart, underground, DOA development due to the fact that his style works perfectly with product. He, in time, could become THE guy when it's all said and done; when the history of the DOA is written and looked back upon. So, all in all, Instead of coming in to Deadly Overloaded Action and 'joining a side', He finally sets out to do WHAT he wants... Keeping himself in the middle; pissing off everyone in the process. Why? He chose DOA as a symbol of taking control of his own legacy... So, why would he mucky up his momentum by alligning with anyone else? It would go against EVERYTHING he stands for as he looks to make a career after SWF.

Atleast, That's the way I see it in my head....

Active Imagination; I know.

- And what's the deal with Matthew Keith? Please tell me he didn't sign with a bigger company!!!!!

I'll give you peace of mind, since you were nice enough to leave some feedback

Matty isn't going anywhere. It's all part of a storyline coming up here. Actually, it's quite the opposite of leaving the DOA as I'm guessing he will see A LOT of room in which to become a big-time player in the near future. However, this time, as a vendetta-laced babyface!

- Last thing, if I could, i would make two t-shirts: One with that awesome Rayne Man alt pic and the other with Matty's John Holmes-inspired alt. You think I am kidding but I really would, no friggin' lie, lol.

I'm not stopping you...

ampulator · April 7, 2010

Honestly, I find it hard to use guys like the Bart Boyz or Benny Benson and Greg Black in SWF. They would make money good money there... but they wouldn't exactly be anything more than midcard there. They aren't on Acid's level, where he's so good he HAS to be to more than just midcard.

Or for that matter, either of them in the current TCW... too old-school and performanced based for either one to be more than upper midcarder or midcarder in most games.

If CZCW was a bigger promotion Black and Benson would certain thrive there.

Eisen-verse · April 7, 2010

If CZCW was a bigger promotion Black and Benson would certain thrive there.

Luckily, For Black, the DOA is pretty much a larger version of CZCW. A modern-based product; however, we differ in the fact that we're directed toward the 18-35 demographic. Ultimately fusing adult-based entertainment with Crash-TV antics. So, in a sense, from an in-ring perspective, there isn't MUCH different between CZCW and DOA.

LIVE on Arcadia - Saturday Night, 9 PM

A Special, one-hour, Event!

[We come back from a short commercial break to hear a “Top-40” grunge-pop song blaring in the background; signifying the return of “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?” to the masses. There, before the camera, stands both John Greed and Davis Detterich; combined as a cohesive unit as they are rarely ever seen apart on-screen. A budding, overly dysfunctional, Bro-mance if you will.]

Davis Detterich: Hello and welcome BACK to “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?”. We’ve forged through the last hour with numerous individuals giving everything they had; all in the name of ‘a dream’. A dream to, one day, compete within the industry they love. For a company, That personifies the underdog nature that these men will certainly cling to during their initial days on the job.

John Greed: That’s right, Davis. It takes a special individual to compete within the squared circle, and these men are hoping that THEY… Are that special individual; waiting for their ultimate opportunity to prove themselves to the masses.

Davis Detterich: We’ve given you the opportunity to vote for your favorite superstar all hour; however, the time has come to bring this show to an end. [slight Pause] We’ve officially closed the phone lines and are tallying up the results as we speak. So, with that in mind, let’s see our final 3 competitors one last time!

[A short hype video is shown; highlighting tonight’s action while putting a heavy focus on the three final competitors themselves. Said video is a collection of segments ranging from their initial weight in, conducting a freelance promo before the show’s celebrity panel of judges, a short in-ring demonstration by Steve Flash (forcing the competitors to show a general understanding for the ‘sport’), and various candid clips of all three men interacting with one another. Needless to say, All three men seem to desperately want this opportunity; wearing their hearts on their sleeves as they ‘give it their all’ from one segment to the other.]

[We come back out of the hype video to see John and Davis standing before the camera once again.]

Davis Detterich: What a show we’ve had here tonight!

John Greed: I know! You’ve only cried like 3 times… That’s a record for you.

[Davis drops his fake smile for a second; turning to John with a pissed off look upon his face.]

Davis Detterich: Not now you a**hole.

[Davis now turns back to the camera; plastered with an overly fake, Full-House-like, smile plastered upon his face.]

Davis Detterich: Lets turn to our Celebrity Panel of Judges one last time for their insight as to WHO they believe will walk away with a DOA contract!

John Greed: Celebrities? More like…

Davis Detterich: John, I swear to you that I’ll file a complaint. One more word…

[We cut to our Celebrity Panel of Judges in which to see a hodge-podge of wrestling names seated behind a lengthy, and quite flashy, TV desk.]

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Misc%20Banners/CelebrityPanel.jpg

[The Blonde Bombshell is seen tossing her hair as she speak; acting as if she’s somewhat ‘tipsy’ while winking at the camera playfully]

The Blonde Bombshell: The only man I see here with ‘the goods’ is Donte Dunn. A washboard stomach, chizzled arms, and a butt to die for. [smirks] No one can compete with that beautiful Adonis! I should know… As we’re cut from the same mold.

[Mark is seen with a dopey smile upon his face; almost as if he’s somewhat brain-dead.]

Mark Cuban: It’s really quite simple when you think about it; Who will draw in the most ratings for Deadly Overloaded Action? That’s what it comes down to. In my eyes, that man is none other than Blondie’s choice… Donte Dunn. His athleticism rivals those I have on the Mavericks. [A light bulb goes off in his head; showing forth through his face.] Wait a minute, on second thought, I’m going with Roderick Remus. [Dopey Smile returns] I want Donte as my starting point guard next year!

[if you thought Mark Cuban looked brain dead… wow. Cahill is seen practically drooling as his eyes try to fixate on the camera in front of him in an uncomfortable manor]

Man Mountain Cahill: Derrrrr… Uh… I… Uh… I like… [Gargling noises are heard] I like the Moose!!

[The Guru is seen next; looking over at Cahill like he’s in a ‘get me out of here’ kind of mentality.]

The Guru: Mark Cuban is right when it comes to ratings; however, it isn’t quite that simple. You also need to look at these guys body of work here tonight. When you do that, It really becomes quite simple… Jeremiah Moose is the most ‘ready’ to step right into the DOA and compete. He’s got an intense nature that makes him look like a truly menacing warrior. How does he NOT have DOA written all over him?

[We cut back to the sight of Davis and John standing before the camera man as it seems like the end is drawing near.]

Davis Detterich: With that, It appears that we’ve come to the end of “SO… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?”. [slight Pause] The votes have been tallied, and the celebrity panel has made their predictions clear. The Winner of “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler”… is…

*** Donte Dunn ***

http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af315/Eisen-verse/Wrestlers/DonteDunn.jpg

[The live studio audience cheers heartily as the Barbadian-native drops to his knees in celebration. It looks as if tears are welling up in his eyes as he has successfully outlasted 200 other men all viaing for the very thing he just obtained: An opportunity to ‘fulfill a dream’. To become a Pro Wrestler!]

[With a look that can only be described as emotionally overwhelmed, Donte slowly pulls himself back to his feet… rubbing his eyes in a show of disbelief. All in all, the moment feels very ‘raw’ as it appears that Donte is truly in a complete state of happiness.]

[Now with Davis Detterich standing at his side; Donte is seen pumping his fists in celebration. Looking out upon the small studio audience before him. All embracing the moment with the joyful newcomer.]

Davis Detterich: How does it feel, Donte, to know that you’ve just won the opportunity to compete as a Pro Wrestler in Deadly Overloaded Action?

[Donte goes to speak at first; however, his emotions are running to high. This fact forces him to step away for a second; to collect his thoughts as he looks over at a nearby DOA logo. Tears in his eyes. He then responds to Davis‘ question in a heavy Barbadian Accent.]

Donte Dunn: I have much joy for you all. [Laughs in disbelief] This is my dream… I’m living a dream.

Davis Detterich: It’s no easy road from here; however, Donte. The second this show comes to a close you will be transported to a nearby gym; where the Legendary Steve Flash will act as your tutor for the next 6 days. During this time frame you will be subjected to the most strenuous training you’ve EVER encountered. Your body will ache, your bones will break, and your mind will question why you EVER chose to take such a risk. However, in the end, if your will stays strong… You’ll be more than ready to step into a DOA ring and compete. [slight Pause] With that said, You’ll be given a ‘one night grace period’ next week. Think of it as a way to get to know the “Dungeon” better. However, this ‘free pass’ will only last for one night. After that moment, You will be turned loose and will ultimately become another functioning member of the DOA roster. Do you accept these terms?

[While continuing to fight back tears, an unsuccessful scenario thus far, Donte quickly responds.]

Donte Dunn: I accept! I want nothing more than to be part of Deadly Overloaded Action!

Davis Detterich: You saw it here first, Folks. One man, one dream, one company, all coming together in which to change the life of this man… You’re winner of “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?”… Donte Dunn!! [slight pause] Thank you for tuning in; Stay tuned for “Beer, Chicks, and Cars: A man’s oasis”. Good night!!!

[The show comes to a close as we witness Donte Dunn standing below a showering wave of confetti dropping from above. All in all, there’s a greater sense of happiness for the Barbadian-native as it seems that he will become the newest member of the DOA roster.]

... "To live a dream you must, at first, dive into the Unknown" ...

Diary Update: I know I said there would be a 'poll' to take during this 'special event'; however, I decided against it as I fell in love with Donte Dunn. Needless to say, this is how the youngster is being introduced to wrestling fans as a whole; As the ultimate 'man of the people'. How can he carry such a name? He was voted by the American public to be the sole winner of "So... You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?".

I hope you enjoy the new development.

So for those of you who tuned into Arcadia's and DOA's “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?” last night you'll be happy to know that the show was (supposedly! -Ed.) rigged to the hilt. Using the proper phone-in competition was planned but thrown out when it's claimed DOA's booker/head writer John Greed "fell in love" with Donte Dunn. While Donte Dunn could have won the competition fair and square, I guess we'll never know now Homosexual whirlwind backstage romances aside, this reporter will just noted that CZCW stand-out Jeremiah Moose was clearly robbed of his chance by “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?”. Yes, Donte Dunn will probably become some massive star based soley on his looks, but I can't help but feel Moose might just have given the fans the type of matches they expect from DOA. Alas, the hour long show (which featured the Voice of DOA Davis Detterich breaking down on screen more times than Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse in a crackden combined) was not a totally loss for DOA's Wrestling fans as opposed to DOA's Mainstream fans... “So… You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?” saw the brief return of my personal dream woman Blonde Bombshell. Aaahhh.

(What? The woman only in wrestling because of her looks and Mainstream appeal from appearing in music videos? Your logic fails -Ed.)

For those of you that haven't heard; DOA is heading into it's third month of progamming and will be shifting to a 90 minute format and there are solid rumours that DOA's 12 episode will be sold as an "PPV episode" . The idea of DOA is likey to have been surped on by the success of Rapid Assualt #8, which by all accounts (including this website's) was a fanstastic episode featuring overlapping storylines and character development which has been sorely lacking from TCW and SWF in recent times.

I love the So You Want To Be A Wrestler, segment. And I am glad you chose Donte Dunn, he is a good young talent and should fit in perfectly with your company.

Now I hate to say this but I think that DOA has passed PSW in terms of greatness. The funny thing is to me the star of the company is not even an active wrestler. Eric Tyler is the best character in this company!

I also love the interaction between Matt Sparrow and The Moral Majority. I have to admit that at first I was not a fan of the way you had written the Sparrow character. However, over the last two episodes he is winning me over.

That was... AWESEOME!!!

That was, single handedly, the greatest response/feedback that I've ever seen in any diary bar-nunn. ha. Thank you for taking the extra time to formulate a pseudo-blog response versus just saying "Hey, I love the show" (which is totally awesome in it's own right; however, this is a great... creative way to creating a response).

Anyways, That was crazy good Celt! I hope you've started a trend with that post as I'd love to see anyone respond to what they liked/didn't like in a smark'est kind of blog post. Either way, It was unique, refreshing, and a joy to read.

Cheers.

I love the So You Want To Be A Wrestler, segment. And I am glad you chose Donte Dunn, he is a good young talent and should fit in perfectly with your company.

That's what I thought. As I overlooked those guys who hadn't 'done enough' in the eyes of the Mainstream Audience (so they could be sold as true ammeters), Donte Dunn stood out as someone who could REALLY be a lot of fun to turn into a 'pet project'. His gimmick will be heavily rooted in what you saw in the "So... You wanna be a Pro Wrestler?" segment; playing a wide-eyed, extremely excited, young man who finally got a chance to 'live his dream'. Needless to say, It should be a lot of fun to write & will pose a lot of great interactions between he and the rest of the DOA roster.

That being said, It's not like he's going to get a GOD-push straight out of the gate. Then again, I think the way he's written will give his initial storyline some justification as he struggles to 'keep up' with those seasoned vets.

Now I hate to say this but I think that DOA has passed PSW in terms of greatness. The funny thing is to me the star of the company is not even an active wrestler. Eric Tyler is the best character in this company!

To be honest with you, I feel the same way. Why? The DOA gives me A LOT more freedom than PSW ever did. With PSW, I got in this niche of writing the company like the worldy personification of "Hell". Everything was extremely dark, there were no real redeeming qualities to anyone, and it was overly crafted to bring a very gritty kind of feel from start to finish. Now, I love writing with that kind of style; however, the DOA gives me soo... sooo... much more!

From an In-ring perspective: There is less hardcore action and more focus on actual abilities in the ring (from a Modern perspective). I'm a HUGE fan of high-paced, overly athletic, competition in Pro Wrestling, so, writing these shows feel much more realistic to what I would actually want to watch. Sure, there is still A LOT of violence; however, now, it's not through the use of constant weapons bloodying up the scene.

From an entertainment perspective: The DOA is more rooted in the booking style of "Crash-TV" than PSW was. There is more of this 'Rock-n-Roll' mentality to the entertainment; Sex, a crass-nature, anti-authority, in-your-face, brash mentality. So, from a writer's perspective it's like taking the beloved "Attitude Era" and fusing it with more-in-depth storytelling. So, in my eyes, the kind of wrestling product that most young-adults, and adults, would want to sit down and watch. Also, there is more room for comedy in the DOA versus PSW; as I never used comedy in Pittsburgh. It didn't 'feel' right to do so. However, here in DOA, I'm given the ability to write segments for "Totally Supreme", Cannonball Funk, and Matty Sparrow... All men who I consider to be a little more rooted in the comedy approach!

Finally, I agree when it comes to Tyler. He's easily my favorite character in this diary so far! A lot of fun to write for, and an awesome figure to have within the fray as you're putting together a show. Overall, much more is on the horizon for the "Voice of Reason" as the Network starts to take note of his antics. Also, as his formulated group "All the Kings Men" continue to forge on forward.

I also love the interaction between Matt Sparrow and The Moral Majority. I have to admit that at first I was not a fan of the way you had written the Sparrow character. However, over the last two episodes he is winning me over.

It's understandable, BHK. At first, I didn't really know how I wanted to write Matty's "porn persona". I kicked around a few different approaches and feel that I've come to a point now where I think he works pretty well on screen. He's crass, he's arrogant, he's over-sexualized; however, at the same time, the fans love him for it. With that being said, he took a minor hit on his road to being a consistent Main Eventer during Episode #8.... Look for that in the Network notes when they go up; that is if you want to know what that minor hit in the road is.

All in all, The sub-culture warfare between Matty and the MM is something I enjoy writing. It can teeter on moments where both teams COULD play the heel roll depending on your 'world view'; however, always come back to a point where... personally... I book MM to be more heel'ish in their actions.

Greg Black reminds me off the Rock, in a good way. Not 100% but the arrogance, the I'll do what I want because I'm that damn awesome, and the perceived star power.

That said, his promo reminded me of a Jeff Hardy promo. Odd emotions and weird yelling. What is his microphone and charisma?

The Celt · April 7, 2010

By the way, does anyone think http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o291/Aidanbro111/phpXwHASsPM.jpg might be a more appropriate rep for Torment?

I do

Greg Black reminds me off the Rock, in a good way. Not 100% but the arrogance, the I'll do what I want because I'm that damn awesome, and the perceived star power.

Funny enough, When I asked jhd1 for an alt. of Greg Black; I used a picture of the Rock during his final days in the WWE. I didn't want him to be a carbon-copy by any means; however, I really wanted him to stick out visually from the rest of the roster. He needed to look like an "A-Lister", Like a guy who stands in a whole other league then the rest of the DOA roster. So, by contrast, he would reek of that "Star Quality" that would come with dropping down from the biggest company in the world to a small, underground, TV show. So, the correlation with the Rock is pretty easy to see! Good pick up on that!

I didn't want to tell people at first that The Rock was the visual idea I had for Black as I was afraid people would simply write him off as a "Rock wanna-be". But, overall, it's easy to see that he's not really a carbon-copy of the guy. I just really wanted an "A-Lister" look for the guy and the Rock was the only thing I could really think of; A celebrity look with a little bit of an edge.

That said, his promo reminded me of a Jeff Hardy promo. Odd emotions and weird yelling. What is his microphone and charisma?

Oh no, a dreaded Jeff Hardy promo correlation?

I think I was trying to portray Black with a level of arrogance that typically formulates some flamboyant nature to said personality. With absolute arrogance tends to come a uniquely flamboyant nature as well. So, that's kinda how it came out. With time, I'm sure I'll ease into his character a little better. At least I hope.

As for his stats (in-game):

Acting: C

Microphone: C+

Charisma: C+

So, I guess from that standpoint he would only be slightly above average from an entertainment perspective. He probably wouldn't be able to pull off anything amazing, unless helped by another, so, maybe a Hardy correlation isn't all that bad.

Then again, I change my mind... That is bad. ha. Jeff is a terrible, terrible, person on the mic.

By the way, does anyone think http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o291/Aidanbro111/phpXwHASsPM.jpg might be a more appropriate rep for Torment?

I do

OMG!

I, honestly, never made that connection but now.... That's spot on! Great find, Celt. Everything about Torment screams Mike Tyson. Well, the Mike Tyson who use to be a feared fighter who could potentially rip your ear off. ha.
