This is what keeps you a great writer. Your presentation is great. But I have to admit, I read very slow in it comes to your TotalMark reports.

This is what keeps you a great writer. Your presentation is great. But I have to admit, I read very slow in it comes to your TotalMark reports.

 

Thanks, glad you enjoyed.

 

I've always found the backstage segments - whether it was the Avatar segments in Generation Supreme or Total Mark - a bit odd. In the sense that they tend to be some of the easiest segments for me, in terms of writing and coming up with ideas, yet they often seem to get as much or more response than the shows, which are typically a lot more work, both in terms of planning and writing. Back in the early days of Gen-S, I never really intended for them to be a regular thing. People took to them, so I made them more regular.

 

Part of the reason that I find the segments pretty easy to write is that I use my normal writing "tone", rather than trying to emulate certain accents and personalities, as I would for a promo. The downside to this is that I churn them out quicker than I probably should. They rarely get the polish they should.

 

Anyway, thanks for continuing to read, cmdrsam.

[Tigerkinney]

The Canadian Animals (Edd Stone & Freddy Huggins) vs Burning Pride (Koshiro Ino & Joshua Taylor)

 

Seem to be a little higher up the pecking order right now both indiviually and as a team

 

Scout vs Rav Umaga vs John Anderson vs Genghis Rahn

Four Corner Survival Match

 

Hard one to call, I think the Samoan's winning again begins to start treading into 'overpush' territory for them, I think in this scenario champs have to look vunerable so I'm going to rule out Scout winning, so it's a toss up between Anderson and Rahn. Personal preference has me stumping for the Machine.

 

Robert Oxford vs Benny Benson

 

Old Man Oxford is there to put others over these days, Benson isn't going to lose to one of the Tag Teanm Geriatrics when he has been mixing it with Tornado and Peak in recent feuds.

 

Giant Tana vs Wolf Hawkins

 

Tana is still in TCW ?! Anyway Hawkins isn't about to lose to the lesser spotted Samoan fatman after he got a big non title win over the World Champion.

 

Brent Hill vs Joey Minnesota

 

At this stage Brent Hill is still being pushed more as a Tag wrestler and Minnesota is both good enough and popular enough to go over here.

 

Bryan Vessey, Rocky Golden & Ricky Dale Johnson vs Sam Keith, Rick Law & Troy Tornado

 

Tough one to call, and I would say a chaotic schmozz but the TCW fans are less accepting of such endings as those in SWF, so I think there will be a winner here. So I'm going to go for the classic faces get the win, but the heels get some heat back with a post match beatdown scenario.

The TCW logo fades into a shot of the crowd as the Total Wrestling theme song plays. The Illinois fans are rowdy for the go-home show leading into the Where Angels Fear to Tread pay per view.

 

Jason Azaria: Bringing you the very best in professional wrestling, this is... Total Championship Wrestling! I am Jason Azaria, and with me is my broadcast partner, Kyle Rhodes.

Kyle Rhodes: Good evening to one and all. We have a great night ahead of us. We start with some words from a TCW legend.

Ricky Dale Johnson

In-Ring Promo

 

The show starts with a promo, a rarity for TCW. The fans give a huge reaction to the opening strains of Ricky Dale Johnson's entrance music, which only grows louder when the man himself emerges. He takes his time getting down to the ring. It takes a bit for the crowd to quiet

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: A few months back, I turned 40 years old.

 

The fans applaud, as if this is some great accomplishment to be proud of. Ever-charismatic, RDJ grins.

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: Thanks. Hitting 40 is kinda hitting a plateau, at least for me. My pa told me its where you stop looking uphill at what's coming and start looking downhill at what's left. I can tell you that I ain't gonna follow Sam Keith's lead and keep going so long as I can. See, this business has given me a lot, and I intend to walk away while I can still walk.

 

The crowd sounds off their appreciation. They seem confused as to where this is going, however...

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: One thing I've found with age is the ability to look down the road. See, I'm focused on the task at hand - helping Bryan Vessey take down Sam Keith and his boys at the pay per view on Sunday - but I am also thinking beyond that. Thinking of next Tuesday, specifically. Why? Well, because Tommy Cornell is comin back. And back to old shenanigans, I assume.

 

This draws boos from the fans.

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: Tommy and I been after each other pretty much as long as we've both been in this company. We both got our licks in. We both won some and lost some. And we're both too proud to back down. But every feud has to have an end, Tommy, and I don't want to take this hate to my grave...

 

"The Lone Star Hero" trails off for a moment, as if putting careful thought into each of his words.

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: So what I propose to you, Tommy Cornell, is this.... Me and you, one last time. At Total Mayhem.

 

This challenge gets a huge pop from the fans.

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: I thought you all might like that. Now, not just any match is gonna be enough, Tommy. We've done them all - Iron Man, Two out of Three Falls, First Blood, I Quit, Last Man Standing, Strap Match, cage match, Test of Steel... but we have never stepped into the Final Reckoning cell.

 

This gets a big pop from the fans.

 

Ricky Dale Johnson: What could be more fitting for our final match together, Tommy? You... me... and the cell...

 

Challenge given, RDJ poses for the fans a bit before the segment ends.

 

Grade: A*

Kyle Rhodes: A Final Reckoning match? Wow!

Jason Azaria: Here's a little fact you may not know... There has been only one Final Reckoning cell match in TCW history. It was at Total Mayhem 10 in 2005 between Sam Strong and Rip Chord... The final time the two legends faced each other.

Kyle Rhodes: I did know that, Jason. I called that match with you.

Jason Azaria: I remember, but some of our fans at home may not remember!

The Canadian Animals vs Burning Pride

450 lbs total combined weight vs 543 lbs total combined weight

 

The story of this match is fairly simple - the Animals only real chance of taking down Ino and Taylor is through their teamwork. But the team seems to be in discord as they end up arguing several times. Their timing is simply off and they are not on the same page. There is not a lot of Canadian harmony in this one, and it hurts the heel team. Ino and Taylor don't have each other's timing down as well, but they are on the same page throughout the match, and that proves to be enough. Ino hammers Huggins with a Burning Hammer as Taylor knocks Stone *out of the ring with a dropkick, preventing the "Bad Boy" from breaking up the ensuing pin. Stone and Huggins continue to bicker after the loss, until Laura Huggins snaps at them both.

 

Burning Pride Wins at 9:44 via Pinfall

Guide, Scout & Jasmine Saunders

Interview

 

The TCW World Tag Team champions are on the backstage interview set with Jasmine Saunders. They are in full war gear, with face paint and ring wear on. They are ready for battle.

 

Jasmine Saunders: I'm here with Guide and Scout... The New Wave! Now, we were told early today that the tag team title match at Where Angels Fear to Tread is now a four-way, including the Total Violence Connection. However, you have an announcement yourselves...

Scout: War is hell, jasmine. But War is New Wave.

Guide: Hell!

Scout: A battle is half won if you can start it on your terms. See, we have three other teams gunning for these titles. They want to take them from me and Guide. But they have to do it on our terms.

Guide: Our terms!

Scout: So the tag title match at the pay per view isn't just a four-way.... It's a four way ladder match.

Guide: War on ladders!

Scout: It's the kind of match that tests the mettle of any team. Only the toughest, most battle-hardened, and most experienced team will prevail. The New Wave!

Guide: Hell yeah!

Scout: Now we've got another war to fight tonight.

 

The pair troop off toward the ring.

 

Jasmine Saunders: So another big match for Where Angels Fear to Tread gets even bigger!

 

She smiles as the segment ends.

Genghis Rahn vs Rav Umaga vs John Anderson vs Scout

6'2” + 275 lbs vs 6'2” + 305 lbs vs 6'4” + 251 lbs vs 6'3” + 235 lbs

 

There is really only one way to describe this match – a mess. The 4-Corner rules barely come into play, and it that everyone's partner is at ringside just makes it messier. Referee Eugene Williams makes his typical timid effort to maintain control... and clearly fails. Rahn looks good in the early going, his wild brawling taking over the match briefly, but he can't maintain the pace, especially when Anderson and Scout work together to punish Rahn. That teamwork between the rivals doesn't last very long at all, as “The Human Arsenal” begins to attack Scout almost immediately. The middle section is a nice run of dominance from Umaga, but he ends up getting mixed up with Eddie Peak outside the ring. While this should be the end of the match, Williams hesitates to call for the disqualification. Things just break down further as almost everyone outside the ring except for Sara Silver get involved with the match. Things end rather suddenly as Umaga bounces Rahn's head off the security barrier, but The Machines smartly roll him into the ring, then Anderson goes for the pin. Clueless as to whether either man is legal by that point, the ref counts out the three. If the match is a precursor to the actual four-way tag match at the coming pay per view, things could be very interesting.

 

John Anderson Wins at 15:15 via Pinfall

Sammy Bach, Karen Killer & Acid

Backstage Promo

 

The trio of Sammy Back, Karen Killer, and Acid are on the backstage interview set, but its dark. The camera is low, which combines with the lighting for a creepy feel. Bach is looking down intently, with his manager and his “fall child” behind him.

 

Sammy Bach: Fee-fi-fo-fum... in a just a few days we're going to have some fun... up in the heavens Where Angels Far to Tread... both Acid and I to our new titles shall be wed...

 

Back stops and slowly looks at the camera.

 

Sammy Bach: *This is not fairy tale. No nursery rhyme. There are no happy endings. There is only pain and loss and... The Fall...

 

He stops again, brooding.

 

Sammy Bach: I don't think you get it. I don't think you all really understand. But you will. You will all come to understand The Fall... whether you want to or not. Acid here, he understands. He was a lost soul when I found him, without direction or purpose. He has both now. Best of all, he has a mentor... me. The direction I have given him will see him take the All Action title this weekend. So our little family will be drowning in accolades. But rest assured, it will only be the beginning. There are more lost souls in this world, more fall children waiting to be found and saved.

 

Bach stops and stares deep into the camera.

Robert Oxford vs Benny Benson

6'2” + 230 lbs vs 5'10” + 215 lbs

 

The veteran Oxford basically does one thing throughout the match -cheats. He knows every dirty trick in the book and he seems to try out each and every one against "Captain Excitement". With a level of determination outstripping his minimal stature, Benson fights through it all. He never steps battling, even turning a few of Oxford's tricks against him, such as responding to a hair-pull takedown by a nice reverse legsweep that Benson transitions into arm lock. Oxford actually looks to have Benson in trouble a few times, getting a couple near-falls, but Benson keeps battling, and takes the pinfall win after his Shockwave from Next Year finisher.

 

Benny Benson Wins at 8:59 via Pinfall

Giant Tana vs Wolf Hawkins

6'7” + 405 lbs vs 6'3” + 235 lbs

 

This match is all about "The Prodigy". Tana is there mainly as a punching bag.... A very big, heavy, slow-moving punching bag. It seems to be his standard role in TCW over the past year. Hawkins shows off his quickness and athleticism. He dances circles around the giant Samoan in the early going, use vicious kicks to hammer away at the big man like a huge tree being chopped down. The tactical approach works, and after a big elbow off the ropes, Tana falls slowly to the mat with a big crash. The big man gets in only a bit of offense through the match, hitting Hawkins with a couple big shots, but not enough to turn the tide in his favor. The last few minutes are slower, as Hawkins stalks his prey like his namesake. With shot after show, he punishes Tana, until finally the delivering the Full Moon Rising Enzuigiri kick, which is almost a mercy to end the big man's suffering, before pinning the giant.

 

Wolf Hawkins Wins at 10:10 via Pinfall

Rick Law, Troy Tornado & Jasmine Saunders

Backstage Interview

 

Rick Law and Troy Tornado are on the interview set with Jasmine Saunders. Law looks particularly intense.

 

Jasmine Saunders: I am here with two of the biggest names in Total Championship Wrestling, Rick Law and Troy Tornado. Now Rick, you are just days away from your title match against Rock Golden at Where Angels Fear to Tread. Are you confident of success?

Rick Law: ....

 

The big man says nothing, simply glaring into the camera. After a moment, Saunders tries again.

 

Jasmine Saunders: Okay... What are your thoughts on the big six-man tag tonight, where Golden will be on the opposite team?

Rick Law: ....

 

Still nothing. Instead of simply glaring into the camera, he slowly turns and stares at the interview, then back at the camera. Twice burned, Jasmine gives up. She turns to Troy Tornado. With the microphone in front of "Hollywood", he erupts. She doesn't even get to ask her question.

 

Troy Tornado: Roll out the red carpet and turn on the bright lights, because its going to be a big one. Its Hollywood's time to shine! Its like opening night and the Oscars, all rolled into one. But that's the kind of unrestrained awesomeness the fans have come to expect from Troy Tornado. Sunday night will be another star-making performance for "Hollywood". I'm going to make Ino rue the day he stepped up to challenge Troy Tornado. Imminent ruage!

 

Jasmine Saunders: But Troy... Didn't you challenge Ino?

 

Troy Tornado: Don't interrupt Hollywood with your inane and useless questions, woman. You should be be joyful that you get to be this close to the Guru of Exorbitant Excess. The Epoch of Awesome. The Absolute Epicenter of Cool. Oh yes, "Hollywood" Troy Tornado is many*many things. But what I am most of all is a winner. I'm going to show that tonight, and I'm sure as hell going to show that against Ino on Sunday.

 

Saunders watches the two men stalk off the set as she wears an exasperated look.

Joey Minnesota vs Brent Hill

6'2” + 245 lbs vs 6'2” + 239 lbs

 

This one carries the feel of a big match, likely far less one sided than the previous match. There is an air of hanging anticipation, however, as Hawkins remains at ringside to watch the match and Hill's partner Anderson is there as well. The pair lock up and the match is underway with a good pace that never really lets up. The early going is populated with some mat work and transitional chain wrestling that is both quick-paced and innovative, both men getting a chance to look good. Minnesota begins to gradual take over, as he mixes in some brawling with his technical work. The match turns somewhat when Hill intentionally throws his opponent through the ropes to the floor, then attempts to distract the ref. Sam Sparrow is too smart for that, so he watches as Hawkins stands over Minnesota, glaring. When "The Philly Phneom" climbs to his feet, he's right in the face of his long-time rival, and for a moment, it appears they will take up their feud. Unable to distract the ref so his partner can interfere, Hill instead uses Hawkins distraction to hit his opponent with a nice baseball slide, putting both feet hard into Minnesota's shoulder and sending him into the security barrier. Hill gets him back in the ring in a hurry and goes for a pin, but Minnesota kicks out. There is a sequence of dominance from the tag team specialist as he works over the young star, looking like he has Minnesota in real danger. After kicking out of repeated pin attempts, Minnesota rolls out of the way of a King of the Hill elevated legdrop, beginning his comeback that has the fans screaming. He battles back and ends up locking Hill into his Minnesota Vacation rear choke sleeper that puts Hill down and out.

 

Joey Minnesota Wins at 17:28 via Submission

Kyle Rhodes: Big win for Minnesota.

Jason Azaria: That match had the quality to be the main event.

Kyle Rhodes: It did.... but we have an even bigger match for the main event!

Sam Keith, Rick Law & Troy Tornado vs Rocky Golden, Bryan Vessey & Ricky Dale Johnson

777 lbs total combined weight vs 877 lbs total combined weight

 

The heel emerges first, coming out one at a team. Each gets notably heat from the fans, but it is extra fierce for Rick Law. The man known as “The Guardian Devil” is hated by the fans, and the feeling seems to be mutual. All three of the fan favorites get big receptions as they come out one at a time. TCW World Heavyweight champion Rocky Golden is gifted the biggest reception of the night as he comes down last, with Miss Sara at this side. The lovely girlfriend of “The Tank” is joined at ringside by some unwelcome company, the twin sons of Sam Keith.

 

There is a rising crescendo of anticipation from the fans as the bell rings and the two men two start are Sam Keith and Bryan Vessey. The two legends circle warily, two proud cats who have seen many battles. The lockup never happens, as Keith smirks and tags out instead. Rick Law climbs into the ring. Vessey nods and locks up with the big man. Its a slow start as they test each other's power repeatedly. Its clear Rocky Golden wants in, and after close to five minutes of just testing each other out, Vessey obliges. The crowd erupts as the champion charges at his nemesis. There is no technique or tactics here – just two men who dislike each other brawling wildly. Golden tries to use his power to overwhelm Law, but the precise striking of the number one contender puts Golden in some trouble. Tornado is tagged in, but he finds himself overpowered by Golden and RDJ makes his way into the match via tag. Things go back and forth for a time, neither team really holding any extended advantage, until Law unleashes a big series of lefts and rights on “The Lone Star Hero”, followed by Keith putting a boot into RDJ's back from the ring apron. The heels manage to isolate the former champion, working him over. They come close win pins several times. He comes close to the hot tag several times before he finally gets to his partners, tagging in “Shogun” as the crowd erupts. Vessey goes after Keith, leveling “The Living Legend” with a series of short-arm lariats. The rampage by Vessey doesn't last long, as Tornado comes off the top turnbuckle with a missile drop kick that levels the veteran. The heels control the match for a bit longer, but as things head toward the half hour, everyone seems to wear down. The heel trio go for pin after pin, but they can't keep any of the fan favorites down long enough. Things start to break down as the Keith twins begin hollering at Vessey. Referee Ray Johnson tries to keep things under control, but it becomes apparent its a losing battle. The proceedings fall apart completely when Law steps off the apron and goes around the side of the ring where Miss Sara stands and watches “Hollywood” work over her boyfriend. Law takes several menacing steps towards the pretty young lady, and Golden responds. He literally tosses Tornado aside and does what no one expects, taking several rapid steps across the ring and executing a jaw-dropping suicide dive over the top rope onto Law. The crowd pops as the champion lands squarely onto his nemesis. The Keith twins take the opportunity to pull Vessey off the ring apron and begin to pummel “Shogun”. Before Ricky Dale Johnson can join his partner and try to help him, Tornado hits him with a drop kick that sends RDJ off the ring apron. Looking around at the chaos, referee Johnson calls for the bell and disqualifies everyone!

 

Match Ends Via Double Disqualification at 26:19

Sam Keith, Greg Keith, Matthew Keith, Rick Law, Troy Tornado, Rocky Golden, Bryan Vessey, Ricky Dale Johnson & Miss Sara

Post-Match Showdown

 

Although the bell rings, the action doesn't stop. Sam Keith joins his sons in battering Bryan Vessey. On the opposite side of the ring, Miss Sara helps her huge boyfriend to his feet, only to see him felled again by a big right hook by Rick Law, who begins to stomp on the champion as the pretty woman screams for him to stop. Ricky Dale Johnson slowly picks himself up off the floor as well, leaping to the aid of Bryan Vessey to make it three-versus-two. Troy Tornado stands in the ring, watching both battles taking place on the floor. He seems at a loss of who to help, so he helps no one. He gives a smirk and “the guns” to Miss Sara, then begins to pose and flex in the middle of the ring by himself. He continues this while TCW staffers stream to ringside and try to settle everything down.

Post Show Thoughts

 

Fairly standard go-home show heading into the pay per view. Most people did very well on predictions, and not surprising to me. The four-way could have gone in any direction - literally. As for the 3v3 main event, the non-finish just seemed to fit heading into the PPV. Its not something I use very often with TCW, but other than the heels taking a really cheap win, it just seemed the right way to head into the big matches at the PPV.

 

The "Final Reckoning" cell match is the TCW equivalent of Hell in a Cell. Its one of several TCW signature matches that PhantomStranger and I hashed out awhile back.

 

The PPV is all booked and came out better than I expected. I will have the preview up sometime tomorrow and would like to get the show up by the end of the weekend... but no promises...

[NathanielKern]

Great show BP, can't wait for the PPV.

[Guest cmdrsam]

I enjoyed the show. The opening left me hinging a bit, I was like dont you dare retire him Bigpapa, I WILL RIOT! Seriously however, a fine show. Four team ladder match??? OMG what car wreck that will be, but in a good way right?

[Bigpapa42]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed.

Thanks cmdrsam. The "maybe he's announcing his retirement" feel wasn't intended at first, but it kinda came across when I wrote it out and I liked it. RDJ isn't that young anymore, so you never know...

 

Yeah, the tag team title match is gonna be messy fun. Two ladder matches on one PPV is a bit ov overkill, but I figured it fights the pay per view, so what the hell....

L.A. Connection Promo

The duo of Chance Fortune and Aaron Andrews cut a promo, talking about their future as one of the elite tag teams in TCW. Fairly standard stuff, but effective.

Grade: B-

______________________________

 

Acid vs American Elemental

Acid proves himself to be a nice addition to the All action division as he puts on a fairly solid match with his fellow masked high flier. They do a nice job of together together some interesting spots but keeping the match moving.

Acid Wins at 8:12 via Pinfall

Grade: C+

______________________________

 

 

Triple Double vs Burning Pride

 

This one belongs to Ino and Taylor all the way, though Sara Silver's duo certainly try. A surprisingly solid match.

Burning Pride Win at 10:17 via Pinfall

Grade: B-

______________________________

 

Sammy Bach Promo

"The Fallen" cuts another solid promo, saying some final words about his match against Joshua Taylor at the pay per view. He also talks up Acid and his All Action championship match.

Grade: B

______________________________

 

Clark Alexander & Giant Tana vs Samoan Violence Unlimited

 

One might think the duo of Bali and Umaga would take some mercy on Tana, given their shared heritage. One might think wrong. Tana takes a nasty beating and Alexander doesn't fare much better.

 

 

Samoan Violence Unlimited Win at 10:19 via Pinfall

Grade: C+

______________________________

 

Joey Minnesota Promo

A very solid backstage promo from Joey Minnesota, talking about his rivalry with Wolf Hawkins and their coming match.

Grade: A

______________________________

 

The Cali Dragons & Harry Allen vs Sam Keith, Rick Law & Troy Tornado

 

A solid six-man where the heels control much of the action. The Dragons and Allen don't stop trying and keep things entertaining.

Keith, Law & Tornado Win at 15:17 via Pinfall

Grade: B

The wrestlers of Total Championship Wrestling are men who live without fear... for they will tread even where angels fear to tread...

 

TCW invades Wyoming with a big night of action that fan won't want to miss. The show includes two ladder matches and several grudge matches that are certain to have plenty of venom.

 

Troy Tornado is determined to earn himself a shot at the TCW World Heavyweight championship, and he feels a win over "The Kobra" Koshiro Ino will do that. Ino surprised "Hollywood" with a win at Just Another Day.

 

The first ladder match of the night is for the TCW All-Action championship. Edd Stone will be putting his belt up against a trio of challengers - James Prudence, Benny Benson, and Acid. "The Bad Boy" will have a tough time keeping hold of the belt he covets.

 

The New Wave have held the TCW World Tag Team championships since August of last year. Widely considered the greatest tag team in the world, the experienced duo are also smart. So when faced with the daunting task of facing three teams, they asked the Home Office to make the four-way into a ladder match, where they hold an advantage. They will need it... Not only will Guide and Scout face their long-time rivals The Machines, but powerful newcomers Bali So' and Rav Umaga, as well as the wild brawling duo of Eddie Peak and Genghis Rahn. This one is going to be messy!

 

The feud between "The Fallen" Sammy Bach and "American Samurai" Joshua Taylor continues, with Taylor's TCW International championship belt up for grabs.

 

Three legends step into the ring with two of the most promising young talents in the wrestling world. Yet the situation is more complicated than it sounds. The twin sons of Sam Keith, Greg and Matthew, will step into the TCW ring for the first time with their father, taking on Bryan Vessey and Ricky Dale Johnson. Should Vessey and RDJ triumph in the handicap tag match, Vessey will face Sam Keith at Total Mayhem in a month.

 

Joey Minnesota and Wolf Hawkins have built up a long-running and bitter feud, one that could carry TCW through the next decade. These two rarely disappoint when facing each other.

 

Rick Law is not the first man to challenge Rocky Golden for the TCW World Heavyweight championship. He is the first one who has managed to make it intensely personal, however. Not that the likes of Tommy Cornell and Sam Keith didn't try, but "The Guardian Devil" ratcheted things up a notch when he threatened Golden's girlfriend, Miss Sara. More than just the world title is being contested.

 

The show is sold out. The pay per view is available throughout the United States only on USA Free Choice. Don't miss out!

even though I actually think benson or Stone will win, my man crush on Acid doesn't allow me to vote for anyone else. Not to mention it was a feud with Acid that established David Mack in my '07 diary

I still think the New Wave are the best, but its time to shake this up a little

far more unity on the Keith side

Law is a stiff challenge, but not the one to unseat Rocky

[NathanielKern]

Koshiro Ino vs Troy Tornado

Ino's been getting a good push, but Troy's just too awesome to be out of the spotlight for long.

 

James Prudence vs Acid vs Benny Benson vs Edd Stone

I was going to give it to Benson but he seems to have decent screentime without any help. Prudence could use the push a title gives.

 

The Machines vs Total Violence Connection vs Samoan Violence Unlimited vs The New Wave

It does feel a little rushed but you've been giving them a solid push and I can believe them taking the belts.

 

Sammy Bach vs Joshua Taylor

Let the age of The Fall begin. (see what I did there?)

 

Sam Keith, Greg Keith & Matthew Keith vs Bryan Vessey & Ricky Dale Johnson

In what is effectively a showcase of the Keith family, Vessey and RDJ put up a decent fight but the numbers and communication between Sam and his boys are enough to defeat the two faces.

 

Joey Minnesota vs Wolf Hawkins

Wolf takes the win here but through nefarious means so the battle continues.

 

Rick Law vs Rocky Golden

Rocky hangs on to the gold but Law takes Sara.

[TakerNGN74]

Thanks for the predictions so far, folks. Forgot to mention and thought I'd better throw it out there.... Going to do the prediction contest for the pay per view the same as before. So whoever gets the most picks correct will have the opportunity to make a request for the diary - a specific match, angle, interview, etc. We had multiple winners last time around and no one came up with anything specific, but we shall see what this time bears out.

[jesseewiak]

Koshiro Ino vs Troy Tornado

 

James Prudence vs Acid vs Benny Benson vs Edd Stone - Flip of a four-sided coin.

Ladder Match for the TCW All-Action Championship

 

The Machines vs Total Violence Connection vs Samoan Violence Unlimited vs The New Wave - I'm going to say the New Wave hold on to the belts.

Ladder Match for the TCW World Tag Team Championships

 

Sammy Bach vs Joshua Taylor - Bach's push continues.

TCW International Championship Match

 

Sam Keith, Greg Keith & Matthew Keith vs Bryan Vessey & Ricky Dale Johnson - I'll take 'ways to make the Keith boys over quickly for 200, Alex'

 

Joey Minnesota vs Wolf Hawkins - Nefarious means

 

Rick Law vs Rocky Golden - Law's not the guy to take the title off Golden.
