SWF '97: Destroying the Runt

<div style="text-align:center;">OVERVIEW</div>

This is my first attempt at a TEW Diary, so please keep that in mind if you see the format change or something. I might just decide that some other way of doing things might be better. I'm also new to the Cornellverse, so if you see any historical inaccuracies or anything, that's why. feel free to bring up any such mistakes. I'm trying my best, but it almost certainly won't be up to par with some of the other great diaries here. A few notes:

1. My main concern with this project is the diary story and the storylines in my promotion, not the results in the game. I'm writing to attempt to entertain the reader (and to try to entertain myself), and I'm not all that worried about the ratings that the shows get in this particular game. For that reason, I've made a handful of adjustments to the game settings that allow for more of a "sandbox" type atmosphere, as that allows me to tell the story I want to tell without worrying quite as much about things like money and whatnot. I'm including some of the behind the scenes intrigue, but for the most part the focus of this particular story is on the shows and storylines of the promotion.

2. That being said, I'm not going to be running a prediction contest. While I know that people seem to like participating in them, I think that the element of surprise in wrestling is important, and you can't surprise someone with a special match if you list the entire cards beforehand. I'll be doing brief previews of my shows which might reveal a few matches, but as in real life, you'll have to "tune in" to the shows to see all of the matches. The one exception is before PPVs, when I'll list the entire card since the whole card will be set. It still won't be a contest, per se, but I'd be more than happy to have people predict those cards.

3. Reader comments are more than welcome and are much appreciated, and I will respond to any comments "out of character," so to speak. I'd appreciate any feedback, positive or negative, though I would appreciate if you give me reasons if you give negative feedback so that I know what to work on.

<div style="text-align:center;">STORY SUMMARY</div>

The story starts in January of 1997 in the Cornellverse. It uses the terrific 1997 Cornellverse mod made by derek_b, which I highly recommend if you have not downloaded it. Tommy Cornell is still an 18 year old relative unknown, the Hollyweird Grappling Company has just opened its doors, and the SWF has its first challenge to its supremacy in years.

I will be playing as the SWF, the most prominent wrestling company in the world. My goal, in essence, is to put the HGC (and the runt, J.K Stallings Jr.) out of business by any means necessary, and the main means to do that is putting on great shows. That's my goal, at least. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Well, that's all that I have to say for now. Again, any comments, positive or negative, are greatly appreciated. I truly hope that you enjoy the story.

Ruthian23 · March 27, 2010

January 6th, 1997

I walked through the door of SWF Headquarters at quarter past seven on my first day on the job. I was the head booker of the number one wrestling company in the world, and I knew that there was much work to be done to keep us in that spot. A new promotion funded by billionaire J.K. Stallings Jr. had recently cropped up, representing the first challenge that SWF had experienced in quite a while. While they weren’t nearly as big as us, they had two of the biggest stars in wrestling in Sam Strong and Rip Chord, plus Stalling’s bankroll was going to be awfully useful for them.

I approached the front desk.

“Can I help you?” a middle aged woman behind the desk asked.

“Yes. I’m Gregory Hunt; I believe I have an appointment with Mr. Eisen.”

“Oh, Mr. Hunt,” she said, recognition spreading across her face. “It’s nice to meet you. Congratulations on the new job. Mr. Eisen is expecting you. Just take the elevator to the top floor and you’ll reach his suite of offices.”

I thanked her and walked confidently toward the elevators, though I didn’t exactly feel confident. I felt intimidated, in fact. Here I was, about to report for the first time to the man who was responsible for making wrestling what it was today. I’d met him while interviewing for the job, but I hadn’t been working for him then. I was quickly ushered into Eisen’s office after I reached the top floor.

“Gregory,” he said.

“Mr. Eisen,” I replied, nodding.

“I’d like to be the first to officially welcome you to the SWF. I’ve arranged for a meeting of the creative team today. I expect you to oversee that and bring up any questions or concerns you might have. As I said during your interviews, we’re very confident that we can stay ahead of the HGC, but to do that we need to make sure that our product isn’t getting stale, and I fear that’s what was happening under the old regime. We need to get our momentum back and stop the HGC buzz. Of course, it helps that the top of their main event scene is older than me.”

Straight to business. “Yes, sir. Is there anything in particular you’d like me to address at this meeting, or that you’d like me to focus on when I work?”

“One thing. Putting HGC out of business. I want to show that little runt who’s boss,” he replied.

By that little runt I knew he was referring to Stallings Jr., who was only sixteen and did, indeed, appear to be a little runt.

“We’ll do our best, sir.”

“Yeah, well your best had better be good enough, Gregory. You should know based on the fact that you’re here that I’m not afraid to make changes, even when things are going well, if I think they could be going better.”

I just nodded at this. I’d been in the building fifteen minutes and he was already reading me the riot act. Or trying to motivate me. I wasn’t sure which. Maybe both.

“So, Gregory, I’ll see you in a half hour in Conference Room A?”

“I’ll be there,” I replied.

Ruthian23 · March 27, 2010

“As you all know, my name is Gregory Hunt, and I’m the new booker here in the SWF. As you also all know, my predecessor was let go by Mr. Eisen. Mr. Eisen has informed me that that was because he felt the product was getting stale, and that the company was losing its momentum. We have a show to book for tomorrow, but first I’d like to quickly run through the roster and get thoughts on each of the superstars. I’ve watched enough to have an idea of how these guys were being booked, but I’d like to hear some honest opinions about what these guys can do and what they should be doing in the future.”

I glanced down at a page in my notebook where I had neatly written the names of each person under contract with the company. “Let’s go in alphabetical order. We’ll start with Adonis.”

Ruthian23 · March 27, 2010

ROSTER OVERVIEW, A-E

Red: Heel

Blue: Face

Adonis - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: Adonis is decently over, though the fan reception to him has been a disappointment given his camera friendly muscular physique. People don’t like him (which is good, since he’s a heel), but they certainly don’t hate him.

Wrestling Skills: Adonis is a pretty good brawler, but he has no technical or high flying skills at all. His in-ring psychology is also limited and his mic skills are non-existent, though he has some natural charisma and looks great on camera. He currently has a manager in Maria to try to cover up his lack of mic skills, though they’re so bad that it’s likely he’ll never move past where he is now.

Alex Pierce - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: Bordering on being a main eventer, Pierce is very over despite a lack of star power.

Wrestling Skills: A solid all around worker who can work any kind of match, Pierce won’t stun you by any means, but he is very serviceable and quite consistent.

Barry Kingman - Opener

Popularity: A 22 year old who is the son of Ray “The Crippler” Kingman. Despite who his father is, he’s virtually unknown around the world.

Wrestling Skills: An okay technical wrestler, Kingman has some decent skills in the ring and looks to get better. That being said, though, he doesn’t exactly look great in front of the camera and it’s unlikely he’ll ever be anywhere near the star his father was.

Black Hat Bailey - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: Known for his black hat (surprise), Black Hat Bailey has very solid popularity across the country, though there are doubts that he’ll be able to make the next step and become a true star.

Wrestling Skills: A very good technical wrestler, Bailey consistently puts on good matches against those whose skills complement his. He can brawl a bit, too, but his strengths definitely lie in the technical area.

Bruce the Giant - Main Eventer

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=BrucetheGiant.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/BrucetheGiant.jpg" border="0" alt="Bruce the Giant"></a>

Popularity: One of the most over stars in the world due to his incredible size (7’4, 600+ pounds), Bruce can draw anywhere in the world.

Wrestling Skills: To be quite frank, he doesn’t have many. Bruce is a pretty terrible wrestler who gets by by using his immense power and his knowledge of how to tell a story in the ring. That being said, though, he has no technical skills whatsoever, obviously isn’t a high flier, and is only okay at brawling. His matches also need to be kept short, as his stamina is mediocre at best.

Bubbles the Clown - Midcarder

Popularity: Over 50 years old, Bubbles is only marginally over with the fans.

Wrestling Skills: He takes care of his opponents in the ring, but he really has no discernible skills at this point. While charismatic, his matches are among the most boring of any SWF superstar, and given the fact that he doesn’t have the star power of a Bruce the Giant to justify his place on the card, he doesn’t really get to work that often.

Captain USA - Lower Midcarder

Popularity: Due to his easy to like (and relatively cheap) gimmick of, well, Captain USA, he usually gets cheered, though the fans don’t really ever connect with him like they do with other stars.

Wrestling Skills: While pretty charismatic, Captain USA doesn’t really have any wrestling skills to speak of. He tries hard and is good at selling moves, but he just isn’t all that talented in the ring.

Cheatin’ Mike Barstow - Upper Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=CheatinMikeBarstow.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/CheatinMikeBarstow.jpg" border="0" alt="Cheatin' Mike Barstow"></a>

Popularity: Cheatin' Mike is relatively over. He’s even more over in Canada than he is in the US, though it’s close.

Wrestling Skills: While he’s 50, he can still wrestle a good match, especially if his opponent is technically savvy. A good storyteller in the ring, Barstow works hard and can still bring the goods despite his advancing age.

Christian Faith - Main Eventer

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=ChristianFaith.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/ChristianFaith.jpg" border="0" alt="Christian Faith"></a>

Popularity: Quite simply the most over worker in America, Faith can seemingly do no wrong. His feuds, especially the one with Rich Eisen, really put butts in seats.

Wrestling Skills: Not tremendously skilled in the ring, but he can brawl, and he knows how to tell a story extremely well out there. His true strength, though, is on the microphone, where he seemingly has the crowd on the palm of his hand every time he speaks a word.

Colin Kennedy - Opener

Popularity: Kennedy is only 18, and hasn’t really had a chance to get much exposure in front of crowds. Therefore, he is not over at all and mostly works dark matches.

Wrestling Skills: Not much of a wrestler, though he can hold his own in a brawl. He has a lot to learn about ring psychology, too, and he’s not the safest guy to work with in the ring.

Danny Bruce - Opener

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=DannyBruce.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/DannyBruce.jpg" border="0" alt="Danny Bruce"></a>

Popularity: Another 18 year old, Bruce is the protégé of Rory McCallum, another SWF superstar. While he hasn’t developed a following yet, he hasn’t really had a chance to.

Wrestling Skills: Bruce is a terrible wrestler at this point, but he has plenty of room to grow since he’s only 18. He has charisma and can work the mic very well already, though his in ring skills are lacking.

Danny Rushmore - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: Rushmore is decently over with the fans, having received a push over the past year.

Wrestling Skills: He can brawl, but he is often criticized for being rather dull in the ring. He’s also often off or on from night to night.

Ethan Philips - Lower Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=EthanPhilips.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/EthanPhilips.jpg" border="0" alt="Ethan Phillips"></a>

Popularity: Only 20, Philips is yet to develop much of a fan base.

Wrestling Skills: A solid technical wrestler who can brawl a bit, too. He probably won’t become a huge star, but he has the chance to have a nice little career if he works hard and improves his consistency.

Everest - Midcarder

Popularity: Everest’s size and look have helped him get over, though his lack of wrestling ability has kept him from becoming too popular. The fans recognize him and like to see him work, but he’s not a big star by any means.

Wrestling Skills: Everest is very powerful, but that, along with his look, is about all he has going for him in the ring. He tries hard, but there’s only so much you can do when you weigh nearly 500 pounds.

Ruthian23 · March 27, 2010

ROSTER OVERVIEW, F-N

Flare - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=Flare.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/Flare.jpg" border="0" alt="Flare"></a>

Popularity: Flare has a bit of a following, but he’s not a big star, at least yet.

Wrestling Skills: One of the better high fliers in the world, Flare has worked hard to get where he is and looks to improve even more as he ages (he’s only 19.) He’s developed a decent technical arsenal to go with his high flying abilities and can even brawl a bit. He doesn’t have much skill on the microphone, but he’s charismatic and has that “it” factor that everyone looks for in a wrestler. One issue, however, is his consistency, as some nights he’s on fire while others he seems a bit off.

Gene Curtis - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=GeneCurtis.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/GeneCurtis.jpg" border="0" alt="Gene Curtis"></a>

Popularity: Curtis has a decent following, though some fear that he’ll never become much more popular than he is right now.

Wrestling Skills: Curtis is a pretty average wrestler. He has an idea of how to tell a story in the ring, but his mic skills, technical abilities, brawling skills, and high flying abilities all grade out at around average. He’s a useful guy to have on the roster because he can have a decent match and is a positive backstage presence, but there are worries that he has peaked.

Jim Force - Main Eventer

Popularity: Force is quite over, straddling the line between Main Eventer and Upper Midcarder on the right side at the time being.

Wrestling Skills: Quite simply, he doesn’t have any. While he has star power oozing out of his pores and is very solid on the mic, the only thing the former bodybuilder has going for him is that he’s strong. He has a very difficult time putting together a good match, even with good or great workers.

Leo Davis

Popularity: Davis is a jobber, and thus has very limited popularity.

Wrestling Skills: A weak wrestler, Davis seems destined for a career as a jobber with SWF.

Mario Heroic

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=MarioHeroic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/MarioHeroic.jpg" border="0" alt="Mario Heroic"></a>

Popularity: Known for his long entrances, Heroic has a mystery man gimmick which has increased his visibility somewhat, but he has yet to truly find a following.

Wrestling Skills: A high flier, Heroic is kind of a spot monkey. He has plenty of charisma to spare, but he’s not much to listen to on the mic.

Masked Patriot - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: The Masked Patriot is a gimmick that has been around for decades, and the visibility and familiarity of the crowd with the gimmick gets the current Masked Patriot, Alexander Kennedy, plenty of attention. He’s not that close to being a main eventer, but the fans like him and cheer for him.

Wrestling Skills: The Patriot is pretty much a straight brawler, and usually needs to be matched with like opponents to have a good match. He does know how to tell a story in the ring, though, and sells moves with the best of them.

Mr. Supreme - Main Eventer

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=AustinSmooth.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/AustinSmooth.jpg" border="0" alt="Mr. Supreme"></a>

Popularity: Supreme is easily in main event territory, as he’s popular all over the country. While he’s no Bruce the Giant or Christian Faith when it comes to popularity, he is hated by the fans, which is good since he’s a heel.

Wrestling Skills: When he’s on, he’s one of the best in the business. He can brawl very well, but his specialty is technical wrestling. He also works the mic extremely well and knows how to tell a story in the ring very well. His main Achilles Heel is his problem with alcohol. He was once fired from the SWF for arriving to a show drunk, and he still battles those demons.

Nemesis - Main Eventer

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=Nemisis.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/Nemisis.jpg" border="0" alt="Nemesis"></a>

Popularity: Nemesis is another main eventer, having one of the most intimidating looks in the business.

Wrestling Skills: Nemesis is one of the best brawlers in the business, though he can’t do much else in the ring. He needs to be paired with people who can brawl in order to have a good match. He’s an excellent performer, as he knows how to tell a story very well. He’s also great on the mic.

No Way Jose - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: The charismatic No Way Jose has won over many fans throughout the years, as he tries to steal belts from champions.

Wrestling Skills: Decent in the three main aspects of wrestling (brawling, technical, and high flying), Jose doesn’t really excel at any of them. In fact, he doesn’t excel at much, though he doesn’t have many major weaknesses, either. If there’s one area that he’s better at than the others it’s in ring psychology and selling.

Ruthian23 · March 28, 2010

ROSTER OVERVIEW, O-R

Outbacker Harris - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=OutbackerHarris.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/OutbackerHarris.jpg" border="0" alt="Outbacker Harris"></a>

Popularity: One half of The Outbackers, a tag team, Harris is mildly over with the fans.

Wrestling Skills: Both Outbackers are brawlers, but Harris can do less in the other areas than his partner. Average in just about every way, Harris will probably be competing in the tag division for a long time.

Outbacker Rolf - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=OutbackerRolf.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/OutbackerRolf.jpg" border="0" alt="Outbacker Rolf"></a>

Popularity: The other half of The Outbackers, Rolf is approximately as over as Harris.

Wrestling Skills: Slightly more talented than his tag partner, Rolf has some rudimentary technical skills, though he’s not as powerful as Harris. He specializes in brawling, just like Harris.

Phillip Roberts - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=EnforcerRoberts.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/EnforcerRoberts.jpg" border="0" alt="Phillip Roberts"></a>

Popularity: Due to his alarming lack of charisma, Roberts has only been able to get somewhat over during his career. Just don’t let him near a microphone!

Wrestling Skills: Roberts is a technical master and consistently brings his A game to the ring. If he only had more charisma he might be a superstar, but it seems like he’s stuck in the midcard for the time being.

Reece Clark - Opener

Popularity: Only 21, Clark doesn’t have much of a following yet. He is relatively charismatic, though, so he could be in for a push at some point.

Wrestling Skills: He can hold how own in a technical match or a brawl, but he excels at neither.

Ric Horn - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=TexasPete.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/TexasPete.jpg" border="0" alt="Rick Horn"></a>

Popularity: A career midcarder, Horn is recognized but not much else.

Wrestling Skills: At 39, Horn’s skills have diminished rather significantly over the years. He still knows how to work a brawl, and his psychology is pretty good, but he’s just not what he used to be.

Rory McCallum - Main Eventer

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=TheScotsman.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/TheScotsman.jpg" border="0" alt="Rory McCallum"></a>

Popularity: With a unique look and plenty of charisma, McCallum is one of our most over stars.

Wrestling Skills: McCallum is decent in a brawl and knows how to tell a story in the ring, but where he really excels is on the microphone, where he is probably the best in the world.

Ruthian23 · March 28, 2010

ROSTER OVERVIEW, S-Z

Sam Keith - Main Eventer

Popularity: Our current world champ, Keith is one of the most over stars in the world, Keith is insanely popular in the United States, very over in Canada and Japan, and pretty over everywhere else.

Wrestling Skills: A two time wrestler of the year and one of the finest wrestlers in the world, Keith can carry almost anyone to a decent match. He can brawl with the best of them, but he is one of the best technical wrestlers in the world, and is known to be a complete genius when it comes to in-ring psychology.

Sean McFly - Main Eventer

Popularity: McFly is extremely popular all over the US, falling easily into the main eventer category. At only 22, he obviously had a bright career ahead of him.

Wrestling Skills: McFly can work any kind of match with complete competence and usually more than that. He’s one of the better brawlers in the world, can fly with the best of them, and can more than hold his own in a technical encounter. He’s also very powerful and his in-ring psychology has developed beyond his years.

Sean Self - Opener

Popularity: Not much, as he’s only 20 and, quite honestly, isn’t very talented. If he keeps his job, it appears that he’ll be a career jobber.

Wrestling Skills: While he isn’t abysmal, Self is weak in almost every important area

Sebastian Krause - Lower Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=IrwinGutmann.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/IrwinGutmann.jpg" border="0" alt="Sebastian Kraus"></a>

Popularity: Krause has languished in the lower-midcard for a while, despite some half decent heat. He’s certainly not very over, but his look is about all he has going for him, as his charisma is lacking and he doesn’t seem to have that “it” factor that will propel him to the next level.

Wrestling Skills: A rock solid technical wrestler, Krause is one of the better technical workers in the company.

Seth Storm - Midcarder

Popularity: One half of the Perfect Storm tag team, Storm is a veteran who is recognized around the world. Not as popular in the US as he is in Canada, he is also arguably more popular in Japan and the UK.

Wrestling Skills: A solid worker, Seth can work any style competently.

Sid Streets - Main Eventer

Popularity: A main eventer, Streets can wow the crowd with his microphone work, which has helped him get over to the point he is.

Wrestling Skills: Streets is a very talented wrestler who cam work any style well. He can carry a match against a weaker opponent.

Stuart Storm - Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=StuartStorm.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/StuartStorm.jpg" border="0" alt="Stuary Storm"></a>

Popularity: New to the SWF, the second member of The Perfect Storm is approximately as over as the first (Seth) around the world. The fans are looking forward to seeing the two brothers, as the SWF has been running an ad campaign trumpeting their arrival.

Wrestling Skills: Arguably more talented than his brother, Stuary is a very solid technical wrestler who can also go to the top rope and work a brawl pretty well. He’s a bit lacking in charisma.

The Magnificent Mark - Lower Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=GenioVerde.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/GenioVerde.jpg" border="0" alt="The Magnificent Mark"></a>

Popularity: Mark doesn’t really have a fan base to speak of, though his appearance and gimmick make sure that he is recognized by the fans.

Wrestling Skills: While he’s known for taking good care of his opponents in the ring, Mark doesn’t have much else going for him. His matches are usually boring, bordering on incompetent.

The Masked Mauler - Lower Midcarder

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=TheMaskedMauler.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/TheMaskedMauler.jpg" border="0" alt="The Masked Mauler"></a>

Popularity: The Masked Mauler is not over at all, which makes sense since he is a jobber.

Wrestling Skills: The Mauler isn’t much of a wrestler, but he’s about all you can ask for from a jobber. He sells extremely well and takes great care of his opponents in the ring and is consistent from night to night despite his role.

Tommy Cornell - Midcarder

Popularity: A hard worker, this kid named Tommy Cornell is pretty over for an 18 year old who has barely started his career. That being said, he still has some work to do before he’s a big star.

Wrestling Skills: A great athlete, Cornell can work any kind of match and definitely has the “it” factor that suggests that he could be a big star in the future. Perhaps. He has already shown signs of brilliance and one creative team member noted that he has “scary” potential.

Warlord Agony - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: One half of the Lords of War, Agony is about as over as his partner, which is pretty over. They are the current tag team champs.

Wrestling Skills: A powerful and tough man, Agony can work a brawl pretty well and not much else.

Warlord Pain - Upper Midcarder

Popularity: See Warlord Agony. They are a tag team and thus have almost identical popularity around the world.

Wrestling Skills: A slightly better brawler than his brother, Pain is probably the more talented of the two.

Wrestlebot 9000 - Lower Midcarder

Popularity: Due to his rather ridiculous gimmick (of a wrestling robot—okay, his completely ridiculous gimmick), Wreslebot 9000 has found it difficult to catch on with the fans.

Wrestling skills: It’s a shame he has such a silly gimmick, because he’s really not a bad worker at all. He’s not great, but he can work any kind of match competently.

Warlord Pain and Warlord Agony: The Lords of War

Ruthian23 · March 28, 2010

“Overall, I really like what I see here,” I announced, folding my hands together. “We have some really good young stars, some extremely promising talent, and our share of veterans who can help the youngsters improve. We need to be able to push them in the right direction, though. Too many careers of promising younger guys have been ruined by bad booking, and we can’t let that happen. That being said, before we discuss too much more about the roster, we have a show tomorrow night to book, and I’d like to get that out of the way, and I’d like to make it a good one. Ideas?”

_________________________________

“So what did you think?” Eisen asked me as we left the room and walked down the hall.

“Like I said, I’m impressed. I wish we had a little more wrestling talent, to be honest, but you need to give the fans what they want.”

“You’ve got that right,” he replied. “How quickly do you think we can put the little runt out of business?” he asked, referring once again to Stallings, who he seemed to have unbridled hatred toward.

“That depends on how dedicated he is. Those pockets are deep, so he can stick around for a while if he really wants to. Hopefully we can make things difficult for him, though.”

“Hopefully there’s no ‘hopefully’ about it,” Eisen replied. “We will make things difficult for him. In fact, I want to make things impossible for him. Anything you can do to undermine HGC, you have the green light from me.”

“Understood.”

Ruthian23 · March 28, 2010

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous before my first show as head booker of SWF. I thought we’d put together a pretty good show, but you never can tell how the audience will react until you actually do it. Also, extra emphasis would no doubt be put on the show since it was the first under my control and a lot of our fans had heard about the change in bookers.

I paced around a good deal before the show started and people seemed to steer clear of me as if they could sense that I didn’t really want to talk much. Soon enough it was time for the show. I had butterflies in my stomach as I sat back to watch from backstage. It was the beginning of a wild ride.

Preview

Live tonight, SWF Supreme TV takes over the airwaves. Rory McCallum will go one on one with Sid “The Kid” Streets in a huge main event. In addition, Christian Faith will be in attendance, and rumor has it that Mr. Eisen has an announcement regarding him, which can’t be good for Faith. All that and more, tonight on Supreme!

The Celt · March 28, 2010

From your introduction there seems almost a tone of fear Ruthian23 about the forums, but trust me people will be able to instantly tell this is going to be a great diary from reading any of these posts.

This looks like a really interesting diary, and I follow support your right not to announce all your matches ahead of time, because while prediction contests are great they can and do take away the surprise that many matches provide, especially in Sports Entertainment company.

I'll be interested if you manage to retain the services of Cornell and Nemisis and also what (if any) workers you bring in.

LIVE FROM ILLINOIS STATE PARK IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

HOSTED BY PETER MICHAELS AND DANNY JILLEFSKI

Fireworks explode and the crowd goes nuts as SWF Supreme TV comes on the air. Peter Michaels speaks over the show’s theme music.

MICHAELS: Good evening, folks, and WELCOME to Tuesday Night Supreme TV. I’m Peter Michaels and with me, as always, is Danny Jillefski.

JILLEFSKI: The pleasure’s all yours, Michaels. What a show we have tonight.

MICHAELS: Indeed it is, Danny. Tonight’s main event will feature Rory McCallum going one on one with Sid “The Kid” Streets.

JILLEFSKI: And don’t forget the fact that that lowlife Christian Faith is scheduled to be here. Mr. Eisen isn’t going to be happy with that.

MICHAELS: Well, I wouldn’t call him a lowlife. He’s a great competitor.

JILLEFSKI: Well that’s where you and I differ, Michaels.

Sam Keith’s music hits and Keith appears in the entryway to boos from the crowd.

MICHAELS: And it looks like our world champion has something to say.

JILLEFSKI: And I’m glad to hear it, Michaels. What a champion he’s been.

Keith walks to the ring with purpose, wasting no time posing or jawing with the fans. He enters the ring and grabs a microphone.

KEITH: Cut the damn music! I’m out here tonight for one reason and one reason only, and that’s to break an unwritten rule. Wrestling’s full of them. One of the biggest unwritten rules in wrestling is that a champion that you pukeheads boo (the crowd dutifully boos)

JILLEFSKI: Listen to these people, Michaels. They love Keith.

MICHAELS: You might want to get your hearing checked, Danny.

KEITH: …a champion that you pukeheads boo never wants to defend his title. He’s afraid or he’s jealous or he’s just trying to avoid getting into the ring with one of your so-called heroes. Well I’m about to break that unwritten rule, because God knows I’m one to break the rules. There’s a superstar in this company who’s been eating at my nerves for some time now. A punk kid who hasn’t paid his dues but is getting big matches and paydays left and right. I paid my dues, dammit. I wrestled in Japan, in Mexico, in Canada, and here in the U.S. I’ve taken more bumps than this kid has seen. I’m talking about Jim Force.

The crowd cheers at the mention of his name.

MICHAELS: Listen to these people!

JILLEFSKI: Well, there’s no accounting for taste.

KEITH: …Jim Force is twenty-two years old. I’ve worked against guys who have pairs of tights that are older than him. I’ve worked against the best of the world to get to where I am today, to hold this (he holds up the SWF World Championship as the crowd boos some more). Jim Force hasn’t done any of that, yet you people cheer him like he’s the second coming. He’s barely out of high school and you act like he’s some kind of legend. Like he’s some kind of champion. So this is what I’m going to do. I’m going to break that unwritten rule. I’m going to offer to put my title on the line at When Hell Freezes Over against Force. I’m going to remind you people what it takes to be a true champion. And if that punk kid thinks he’s going to run all over me like he’s run over some of his other opponents, he has another thing coming.

Suddenly, Force’s music hits and he runs down to the ring to great cheers.

MICHAELS: And here’s Jim Force himself!

JILLEFSKI: Oh, just great.

MICHAELS: These people seem to think so!

KEITH: I challenged you to a match; I don’t remember inviting you down to the same ring as me. (the crowd boos once more).

FORCE: Well, you got me ANYWAY! (the crowd cheers) I wanted to come down to personally respond to your challenge, Sam Keith. I’ve worked hard to get where I am. I’ve beaten some of the biggest stars in this business. Just because I’m twenty-two doesn’t mean I can’t fight with the best of them. And lucky for you, you’re going to get to find that out, because I ACCEPT!

Keith nods, gritting his teeth.

KEITH: Good, because I’m going to beat your punk ass from one end of the ring to another. You’re going to learn that there’s a whole lot you still need to learn about this sport.

FORCE: And you’ll learn that there might be a few things you don’t know yet, Sam Keith. You will FEEL THE FORCE!

Force’s music hits and the two men approach each other, going face to face in the center of the ring, jawing at each other though the microphone doesn’t pick up what they’re saying.

MICHAELS: Wow, Danny! We have our first match for When Hell Freezes Over.

JILLEFSKI: That’s less than two weeks away! I can’t wait to see Keith show Force that you can’t just walk in and dominate a company.

MICHAELS: Or maybe Force will show the champ that you don’t have to know every trick in the book to win the big gold belt.

JILLEFSKI: Fat chance of that, Michaels.

MICHAELS: I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, Danny. When we come back from break, Alex Pierce will be in action against Mario Heroic.

(Commercials)

_______________________________________________________

Alex Pierce vs. Mario Heroic

The two men make their way to their ring to their respective theme songs. Heroic’s entrance is extremely elaborate. Heroic grabs a mic, stares at it for approximately a half minute, nods, and then puts it down without saying a word.

MICHAELS: He’s certainly an odd duck.

JILLEFSKI: Maybe he just decided that these fans aren’t worth having a conversation with.

In a pretty good match, Pierce defeated Heroic at 6:11 with his Piercing Wound finisher.

MICHAELS: I think Heroic’s entrance might have taken longer than it took him to lose that match.

JILLEFSKI: Maybe he should concentrate less on his ring entrance and more on what happens inside the squared circle.

MICHAELS: Well, much as it shocks me to say it, I have to agree with you, Danny.

JILLEFSKI: I knew you had an ounce of sense in you, Michaels.

_______________________________________________________

We cut to backstage where No Way Jose is tiptoeing into a dressing room clearly labeled NEMESIS. The dressing room is empty, but Nemesis’ North American Title belt is sitting in clear view. No Way Jose smiles broadly and tiptoes over to it, picking it up and smiling wider still.

MICHAELS: Is he going to try to steal another belt?!

JILLEFSKI: Usually I commend his behavior, but to try to steal from Nemesis? That’s close to being suicide.

No Way Jose looks both ways, then exits the dressing room. As soon as he hits the hallway he breaks out in a run, racing away from the dressing room. Suddenly, a door opens right into his path and hits him smack in the nose, sending him sprawling on the ground. Sid Streets exits the locker room and walks the other way, not even noticing the unconscious Jose on the floor behind him.

Flare vs. Gene Curtis

In a match with some good action but not much in the way of heat, Flare beat Gene Curtis in 8:14 with a Solar Flare. Flare tried to keep the match high flying while Curtis tried to keep him grounded throughout, knowing that Flare’s main strength was his high flying ability.

MICHAELS: And in the end, Flare’s able to go to the top rope one time too many for Gene Curtis. Good night, Gene.

Backstage, we hear a knock and the camera pans to reveal that we are in Richard Eisen’s office.

<a href="

EISEN: Come in.

The door opens and Christian Faith enters the office, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

EISEN: Ah, Christian, have a seat. Actually, on second thought, don’t. (the grin on Eisen’s face makes it clear that he does not have good intentions.) I wanted to respond to your request to wrestle at When Hell Freezes Over personally. I’ve decided to put you in a match with... Mr. Supreme.

FAITH: I really don’t care who I’m facing, Rich. Mr. Supreme is fine with me.

EISEN: That’s Mr. Eisen to you.

FAITH: Yeah, okay, Rich. (Eisen grits his teeth)

EISEN: Well, it’s good that you don’t care who you’re facing, Christian, because you’re not only facing Mr. Supreme. It’s going to be a handicap match, and you’re also going to face…BRUCE THE GIANT.

MICHAELS: Oh, my! That’s not fair!

JILLEFSKI: Why not, Michaels? Faith’s been acting out of line for weeks!

Faith, to his credit, doesn’t seem all that unnerved by this news. He simply nods.

FAITH: That’s fine, Rich. You throw one guy at me, I’ll beat one guy. You throw two guys at me, I’ll beat two guys— (Eisen cuts him off)

EISEN: Not so fast. I’m a very fair man…

MICHAELS: Oh, yeah.

JILLEFSKI: He is!

EISEN: I’m going to give you a chance tonight to turn that handicap match into a tag team match if you can win. Tonight, in that very ring, you will go head to head with Warlord Pain…AND Warlord Agony in a handicap match! If you win, you get a partner in your match at When Hell Freezes Over.

MICHAELS: Wow. So he has to fight in a handicap match less than two weeks before he’s supposed to fight another handicap match. Talk about stacking the deck.

JILLEFSKI: But it’s fair, Michaels. If he wins tonight he doesn’t have a handicap match in a week and a half.

MICHAELS: But he has to beat two men!

JILLEFSKI: Eisen could have just given him the handicap match without a chance to make it a tag team match.

MICHAELS: But now he has a handi—oh, never mind, Danny.

JILLEFSKI: What?

Before we go to commercials, a video is played promoting Seth and Stuart Storm (The Perfect Storm), a new tag team in the SWF. The video opens with footage of a storm tossing a ship around the ocean like a ragdoll. After fifteen to twenty seconds of this, the words, “A Storm is Coming” flash across the screen and we fade to black.

_______________________________________________________

Everest vs. Tommy Cornell

Cornell wins in 8:22 with the Guilt Trip. After the match, Everest gets up and grabs Cornell before he can leave the ring. He throws him into the corner and follows with a splash, sending Cornell to the ground. He then climbs to the second rope and drops his full body weight on Cornell not once, not twice, but three times, leaving Cornell down and out. After Everest leaves EMTs head down to the ring to check on Cornell, loading him onto a stretcher and taking him out of the building.

_______________________________________________________

Backstage, No Way Jose is still laid out as Sean McFly walks by him.

MCFLY: You okay, dude? Hello? (he notices the belt) When did you win that? (he bends down and sees Nemesis’s name on the belt) Oh. I should have known.

He picks up the belt and walks the short distance to Nemesis’s locker room, entering to return the belt. When he enters, he finds Nemesis looking everywhere in the locker room.

MCFLY: Found your belt, dude.

Nemesis whirls around, glaring at McFly with angry eyes.

<a href="

NEMESIS: Give me that. So you stole my belt? And you thought you could escape my wrath if you just walked up to me and returned it? If you want this belt, there’s only one way you’re going to get it, and that’s in a match.

MCFLY: I didn’t steal your—

NEMESIS: Don’t insult my intelligence, maggot. You just happened across it in the hall I guess.

MCFLY: Well, yeah—

NEMESIS: I may look dumb, but it’s not just brawn that got me that title, McFly. Like I said, give me my belt back.

McFly hands him the belt.

MCFLY: You said something earlier about a match…

NEMESIS: I said that that’s the only way you’re going to get my belt. So what?

MCFLY: So, how about a match? At When Hell Freezes Over?

NEMESIS: Normally I wouldn’t reward you for your behavior, McFly, but you’ve got me spitting mad. You want a match for my title? You’ve GOT it.

MICHAELS: Yet another great match for When Hell Freezes Over! What a misunderstanding that was.

JILLEFSKI: You don’t think McFly was stealing that title from No Way Jose, Michaels?

MICHAELS: I certainly do not.

JILLEFSKI: Well I’d love to live in your naïve little world.

Danny Rushmore vs. Mashed Patriot

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Masked Patriot defeated Danny Rushmore in 12:13 by pinfall after a spinning heel kick. The match was a solid brawl that spent as much time outside the ring as in it, though referee Ric Young never came very close to counting either man out.

MICHAELS: And the Patriot gets the win, much to the delight of the crowd! Next up we’ll see Christian Faith going head to head with BOTH Warlord Pain and Warlord Agony.

_______________________________________________________

MICHAELS: Welcome back, fans. Christian Faith is about to take on the Lords of War, the tag team champions, all alone, and we now understand that if anyone interferes on behalf of Christian Faith, he or she will be fired from the Supreme Wrestling Federation.

JILLEFSKI: And that comes straight from Mr. Eisen himself, Michaels. We all know he has the power to make that threat a reality. Finally, it looks like Christian Faith will get what’s coming to him.

<a href="http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=ChristianFaith.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/ChristianFaith.jpg" border="0" alt="Christian Faith"></a> <a href="http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=WarlordAgony.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/WarlordAgony.jpg" border="0" alt="Warlord Agony"></a> <a href="http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=WarlordPain.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/WarlordPain.jpg" border="0" alt="Warlord Pain"></a>

Christian Faith vs. The Lords of War

The match starts with Faith dominating both men, hitting them with a double clothesline and banging their heads together, but the tag team quickly takes the upper hand by double teaming him. They beat him down for a majority of the match since they simply double team him every time he tries to make a comeback. Near the end of the match, Faith rolls out of the way of a splash attempt by Warlord Pain and hits his finisher on Warlord Agony. That makes the match one on one as Agony is out cold, but then Faith shoves Warlord Pain into the referee, knocking the referee out. Pain and Faith fight for a minute or two longer before Bruce the Giant makes his way slowly down to the ring with a steel chair in hand. He climbs into the ring and nails Faith in the head, but the referee wakes up just in time to see it! He calls for the bell.

The winner by disqualification in 10:11, Christian Faith!

MICHAELS: So it’ll be a tag match after all at When Hell Freezes Over, but look at Bruce the Giant go to work on Faith’s leg with that chair!

JILLEFSKI: Faith might have won the battle, but he’s way behind in the war.

MICHAELS: I wonder who he’ll pick as his tag team partner next week.

Great first show, loved No Way Jose being knocked out.

Great first show, loved No Way Jose being knocked out.

Thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Ruthian23 · March 28, 2010

I was pretty happy with our first show, though Mr. Eisen assured me that it wasn’t on par with what he was used to. I got the feeling that he was just trying to motivate me, but what do I know? Maybe I’m really not that good.

We drew a sellout crowd, won the ratings battle despite the curiosity about HGC’s product, and had a better show than them in my honest opinion. Dark EAGLE became their first Cruiserweight Champ, Demon Spite beat Bryan Vessey for the HGC Hardcore title, and in their main event, BLZ Bubb beat Joey Flame. The bad news was that they sold out the arena they were in, selling 5,000 tickets rather easily. We blew past 15,000 without blinking, though, drawing a sellout ourselves.

I didn’t like the fact that things were so rushed before the pay per view. While we’d set up most of the main matches for When Hell Freezes Over, the fact that I only had two weeks to put a card together made things much more difficult and reduced the buzz about my first pay per view.

“Good show, boss,” Tommy Cornell said to me as he left the arena for the night.

“Thanks,” I replied, not letting on how much it meant to me, even coming from a kid. He was going to be a major piece of our future if I didn’t screw it up, and it was good to see that he didn’t seem to have an attitude. Unless, of course, he was just politicking me, looking for an edge. I need to be on the lookout for things like that now that I’m in the position I’m in.

The days passed and quickly turned into a week. It was Tuesday again before I knew it and we had another show planned.

Preview

The superstars of the SWF will be in action Tuesday from Virginia Park Fields in Richmond, Virginia. Jim Force, who will challenge for the heavyweight title in just two days, will be in action, as will the North American Champion Nemesis. Christian Faith will also pick his partner for Thursday’s big tag team match against Bruce the Giant and Mr. Supreme. All that and more this Tuesday on Supreme TV! Tune in for some great wrestling action later tonight.

Sebastian Krause vs. Flare

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Flare defeated Sebastian Krause in 6:18 by pinfall with a Solar Flare. Flare was able to control the tempo of the match, spending much of it on the top rope. The two men didn’t seem to click very well, so the match was a bit awkward. Not the best way to start a show.

EISEN: No Way Jose, last week you attempted to steal the North American Title Belt from Nemesis—

JOSE: No way. I didn’t try to steal nothing, holmes. No Way Jose deserves a title, championship gold, and I went to take what was rightfully mine: the North American Championship.

EISEN: How about winning a title in the ring?

Jose seems shocked by this suggestion

JOSE: Why would I do that when I can just take what I deserve? I’m the biggest superstar on this roster, and what title belt do you see around my waste? None. It would have been the North American Title, man, if it weren’t for that Sid Streets, holmes.

EISEN: That was an accident!

JOSE: Accident my ass, holmes. He was jealous. Jealous that for a few glorious moments, I was the North American Champion.

EISEN: Well, I don’t know if the record books will agree with that interpretation…

JOSE: Who held the gold, holmes?

EISEN: Well, you did.

JOSE: Then the record book is a liar if it says somethin’ like that, see?

EISEN: Why don’t you challenge Nemesis to a match?

JOSE: No, mang. I’m going to challenge Sid Streets to a match. He’s the one who cost me my title, not Nemesis. I want him at When Hell Freezes Over if he’s not too chicken to accept it. (Jose walks away.)

MICHAELS: Well, I’m quite sure Sid Streets won’t decline a challenge.

JILLEFSKI: But he might want no part of No Way Jose.

MICHAELS: Something makes me doubt that, Danny. I wonder if Nemesis saw that and knows that Sean McFly didn’t steal his title.

JILLEFSKI: I doubt it, Michaels.

MICHAELS: Why’s that, Danny?

JILLEFSKI: Well, I might love Nemesis as a competitor, but he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. I don’t think he’s figured out how to turn his TV on yet. In fact, for my sake I hope he hasn't or he might've heard that.

MICHAELS: I’ll take your word for it. Next up we have Black Hat Bailey taking on Mario Heroic, but first some commercial messages.

Mario Heroic vs. Black Hat Bailey

Heroic takes nearly five minutes to make his way down to the ring, going through an elaborate ritual on his way down. When he reaches the ring he once again picks up the microphone, stares at it, and then places it back on the mat.

JILLEFSKI: What is up with this guy, Michaels?

MICHAELS: I wish I knew, Danny. I wish I knew.

The match is a pretty good short match with Black Hat Bailey’s hat coming off early in the match as always, and the announcers wondering why he tries to keep it on while he wrestles. Heroic keeps trying to go to the top rope in vain, as Black Hat Bailey keeps stopping him and keeping him on the mat, where Bailey excels. Bailey wins in 6:03 by submission with the Bailey Breaker.

MICHAELS: We’d like to quickly give you an update on Tommy Cornell, who was injured during a vicious attack at the hands of Everest last Tuesday night. Cornell is still in the hospital recovering from his wounds, but there are luckily no internal injuries and Cornell is expected to return to be cleared to wrestle again within two months.

JILLEFSKI: Well that’s some good news, Michaels. I might not like Tommy Cornell, but I wouldn’t wish three Everest splashes on my worst enemy. Well, maybe on my worst enemy, but nobody else.

MICHAELS: And who’s your worst enemy, Danny?

JILLEFSKI: I have quite a few of them. I couldn’t narrow it down to just one.

MICHAELS: Well there’s a surprise. Let’s go backstage to Jerry Eisen.

EISEN: You two asked for some air time tonight to make a challenge, so that’s why we’re here. What do you have to say for yourselves?

WARLORD PAIN: We can’t help but notice the videos that have been playing lately. They say a Storm is Coming, and we understand that it’s a new tag team that’s coming right here to the SWF.

WARLORD AGONY: That’s right, Pain, and as everyone knows, WE are the tag team champions. Where are our videos? Where’s our hype?

PAIN: We’d like to show this new team exactly who the kings of the Tag Team Division are. We know they hide behind their videos and don’t ever make appearances, but we’d like to issue a challenge to them for When Hell Freezes Over. If they have the guts to show, we’re gonna make ‘em scream like little girls.

EISEN: As I was saying, I want to give the two of you a tune up match before your tag team encounter Thursday. Tonight, you’ll take on the Outbackers. But that’s not all. I wanted to let you know that I am really, really counting on you this Thursday to take out Christian Faith once and for all. Not just to beat him. To take him out for good. Therefore, I’ve decided to…raise the stakes a bit. If you win, you will BOTH receive World Title shots in the future at a time of your choosing.

MICHAELS: Whoa! Now that’s motivation.

EISEN: And if you lose, neither one of you will be able to challenge for any title for the next six months.

EISEN: Sam Keith, in just two days you will voluntarily put your World Title on the line against the red hot Jim Force. How do you feel about your chances?

KEITH: I feel good. Really good. You say that Jim Force is red hot, I say he’s been beating up on easy opponents left and right. You know who’s red hot, Eisen? The guy with the belt, and that’s me. Force hasn’t paid his dues yet. He doesn’t deserve this title match, but I thought I’d help the kid out, help him pay his dues. Because there’s no better way to pay your dues than to take on Sam Keith. Jim Force is probably feeling that things are pretty easy right now, but I’m going to show him just how difficult life can be. (he walks off)

EISEN: Well, there you have it. Sam Keith will go one on one with Jim Force in just two days at When Hell Freezes Over.

EISEN: Earlier tonight, Sam Keith said that you haven’t even come close to paying your dues in the ring, and that you don’t even deserve a World Title shot.

FORCE: Jerry Eisen, I can’t say whether or not I deserve a title shot, but the bottom line is that I have one. I HAVE a World Title match, no matter how I got it. When he was my age, Sam Keith wasn’t even close to the World Title, but I can taste it, Jerry Eisen, I can feel it in my bones. Come Thursday, I’m going to make Sam Keith pay some dues of his own, and I will walk out of that building the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION because Sam Keith will FEEL THE FORCE. AOWWWW!

North American Title Match: Nemesis © vs. Masked Patriot

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Nemesis defeated Masked Patriot in 13:06 by pinfall after using brass knuckles. Masked Patriot took control of the match early, but Nemesis battled back and took control outside the ring by dropping Masked Patriot throat first on the barricade . He rolled him back into the ring for two, then proceeded to hit a bunch of high impact moves, all of which resulted in two counts. Frustrated, Nemesis took brass knucks out of his tights and nailed Masked Patriot with them when the ref wasn’t looking. He got the pinfall and left to overwhelming boos.

MICHAELS: He used brass knucks!

JILLEFSKI: What knucks? Knucks what, Michaels? You should get your eyes checked. I didn’t see anything.

MICHAELS: Well of course you didn’t.

MICHAELS: Well, it’s time for the moment that we’ve all been waiting for. Christian Faith is making his way down to the ring to announce who his tag partner will be in two days at When Hell Freezes Over.

JILLEFSKI: I still can’t believe he gets to choose a tag partner. Just how fair is Mr. Eisen?

MICHAELS: (sarcastically) Oh, very fair, Danny.

FAITH: I’m out here tonight, as you all know, to choose a partner for When Hell Freezes Over. Since Rich was so generous to give me this opportunity, I just wanted to send a shout out to him. (Faith directs a middle finger at the back.) My partner Sunday will be...

Before he has a chance to announce his partner, Rich Eisen’s music hits and he comes out to the entryway.

EISEN: Oh, I’m sorry. I recall telling you that you could have a partner if you won the match against the Lords of War, which you unfortunately did, but I forget telling you that you could choose the partner. In fact, I don’t think I did tell you that, which leaves the final decision in…my hands. (Eisen smiles). How’s the leg, by the way? (he smiles even more broadly as Faith looks at him with utter hatred from the ring). I’ve put some very significant thought into it, considering every member of the roster as a potential partner for you, since I wanted you to have the best of the best, of course. After much deliberation, I’ve decided that your partner will be…Tommy CORNELL!

MICHAELS: What? Cornell is in the hospital after the beating he took last week from Everest!

JILLEFSKI: I think that’s the point, Michaels!

EISEN: And if Cornell refuses to wrestle, he will be FIRED from the SWF.

MICHAELS: The doctors haven’t even cleared him yet! How can he take on Bruce the Giant and Mr. Supreme?!

FAITH: You might have expected me to react with anger at that, Rich, but you know what? I don’t care who my partner is. Tommy Cornell, Nobody, the Easter Bunny, it really doesn’t matter to me one bit. (he flips the microphone away and walks up the ramp toward Eisen, who bolts backstage. )

MICHAELS: Well, Danny, the deck is definitely stacked against Christian Faith at When Hell Freezes Over. Two extremely injured men against Mr. Supreme and the largest athlete in the world, Bruce the Giant.

JILLEFSKI: I must say, this is a true stroke of genius on the part of Mr. Eisen.

Ruthian23 · March 29, 2010

There were a lot of firsts for me in my early days in the SWF. The first time I met Mr. Eisen as an employee, the first time we ran a TV show, my first main event as booker, and it was soon time for my first Pay Per View extravaganza.

Pay Per View is where the money really comes from in wrestling, so it was huge, and I was even more nervous than I was before the first TV show. It’s different when you ask people to shell out their hard earned cash than when you put something on free TV, asking only for their time. They can always turn it off when it’s on TV, but if you’d paid money to see an event, you weren’t going to turn it off.

Flare vs. Phillip Roberts

Flare takes down Roberts to start, showing him that he can mat wrestle a bit, too. Flare hits no less than three moonsaults during the match (two from the top rope, one a standing moonsault), but Roberts moves out of the way of a fourth and both men are down and out. Despite having moved out of the way of the moonsault, Roberts is beaten to his feet by Flare, who hits a jumping DDP followed by a Solar Flare for the win at 8:46.

Winner: Flare by Pinfall in 8:46.

Masked Patriot vs. Cheatin’ Mark Barstow

Both men start off exchanging punches in the middle of the ring. Masked Patriot tosses Barstow into the turnbuckle and hits a big closeline when he groggily hobbles out of the corner. 1…2 too soon. He hits an atomic drop, then tosses Barstow out of the ring and follows him there, banging his head into the announce table and tossing him into the steel guardrail. He tries to follow with a splash into the guardrail but Barstow moves and gets the upper hand. He hits a suplex out on the floor and rolls Patriot back in to avoid the double countout. He follows him in and hits a pair of elbow drops to Patriot’s midsection, but then he goes for a third and misses. Patriot gets back to a vertical base and starts getting control, but Barstow rakes the eyes and then hits a low blow that puts him back in control.

After a few more minutes of Barstow controlling the match, he argues with the ref after a close two count, not noticing that the Patriot is up behind him. The Patriot comes up behind Barstow and rolls him up. 1…2…3! Barstow is irate as the Patriot celebrates the victory.

WINNER: The Masked Patriot in 14:12.

JILLEFSKI: What a cheap tactic that roll up pin was, when Barstow was distracted, Michaels.

MICHAELS: Well, what about the low blow and eye rake by Barstow earlier in the match, Danny?

JILLEFSKI: At least Cheatin’ Mike has a disclaimer in his name.

A video plays recapping the feud between Sid Streets and No Way Jose. No Way Jose tried to steal Nemesis’s North American Title belt, but as he made his escape with it Sid Streets opened a door in his path accidentally, laying Jose out. Jose was distraught at his unsuccessful robbery and challenged Streets at When Hell Freezes Over.

Sid Streets vs. No Way Jose

Jose angrily pounds away at Streets right after the bell rings, screaming something about his belt in English and going back and forth between English and Spanish as he screams at Streets. Streets blocks a headbutt and hits a swinging neckbreaker on Jose. Streets helps him up and hits a belly to back suplex and goes for a pin. 1…2..no! Streets whips Jose into the ropes, but Jose ducks a clothesline and hits Streets with an elbow to the head, knocking him down. He stomps on his leg over and over, trying to break it, before Streets grabs him and rolls him up. 1…2…no! He almost got three!

Jose is hopping mad at the referee for almost counting three and Streets takes advantage of that by hitting a suplex from behind, then whipping Jose into the ropes again and hitting a back body drop. Streets goes for a piledriver but it’s reversed and Jose tosses Streets back over his head and onto the mat. He tries to go to the top rope but Streets reaches his feet and comes over to toss Jose off the top rope onto the mat. He approaches Jose, who grabs him and pulls him into a surprise pinning combination, grabbing a handful of tights in the process. 1…2…3! No Way Jose scores the upset!

Winner: No Way Jose in 14:53 with a handful of tights.

MICHAELS: So No Way Jose not only tried to steal a belt, this time he steals a damn match.

JILLEFSKI: Oh, don’t be such a goody two-shoes, Michaels. He didn’t do anything you wouldn’t do in his situation.

MICHAELS: He almost pulled Street’s pants straight off!

JILLEFSKI: Like I said…

SWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: The Lords of War © vs. The Perfect Storm

MICHAELS: The Perfect Storm making their SWF debut here, as we’ve been waiting weeks to see them in action.

JILLEFSKI: And it’s quite a bit of action they’ll be seeing Michaels, having to go head to head with The Lords of War.

Warlord Pain and Stuart Storm start, and Pain immediately gets the upper hand on Storm after some back and forth blows. Pain and Agony tag each other in frequently, keeping a fresh man in the ring as they dominate Stuart. They hit their share of double team maneuvers after tags, but they can’t get a three count. After several minutes, Stuart hits his signature move on Agony out of nowhere and both men are down for the count.

Stuart crawls toward the corner, as does Agony. When Stuart is just inches away from being able to tag the fresh man in Pain runs into the ring, leaps across it, and grabs Stuart’s foot, much to the referee and Seth Storm’s chagrin, but there’s nothing the referee can do but count. He begins his five count, but Pain drags Stuart back into the Lords of War’s corner, then exits the ring on a 4 count, forcing Stuart to crawl all the way back across the ring if he wants to make a tag. Seth Storm enters the ring to argue with the referee and while the ref is distracted Pain comes back in, stomping the hell out of Stuart and slamming his head into the mat. Agony finally comes to and the two men hit their finishing maneuver, Pain punches Seth Storm, and the ref turns and counts 1…2…3!

Winners: By pinfall, at 13:26, The Lords of War.

MICHAELS: Who knows what would have happened if Stuart Scott had been allowed to make that tag like he should have been Danny?

JILLEFSKI: Coulda, shoulda, woulda, Michaels. The bottom line is he didn’t, and the Lords of War are still tag team champs. I guess all that hype was for nothing.

MICHAELS: I don’t know about that. I’d be surprised if the Lords of War have heard the last from The Perfect Storm.

A video plays hyping Bruce the Giant and Mr. Supreme vs. Christian Faith and Tommy Cornell. The match came to be when Mr. Eisen booked Christian Faith to face Bruce and Supreme in a handicap match at When Hell Freezes Over. He gave Faith a chance to get a partner, however, if Faith could just beat the Lords of War in a handicap match that night on Supreme TV. Faith won by disqualification when the referee saw Bruce hit Faith with a steel chair.

The next Tuesday, Faith came out to announce his partner, only to be interrupted by Eisen who said that Faith didn’t get to choose his partner, he just GOT a partner. Eisen hand picked Tommy Cornell to be Faith’s partner. Cornell had been seriously injured the previous week by Everest, leaving two battered men to go head to head with Bruce the Giant and Mr. Supreme. Eisen also said that if Cornell refused to fight, he would fire him from the SWF. In addition, if Bruce and Supreme win, they both get title shots at a time of their choosing.

<a href="

Bruce the Giant and Mr. Supreme vs. Christian Faith and Tommy Cornell

Faith and Cornell are both visibly in pain as the match begins, especially Cornell. Mr. Supreme and Christian Faith start, but Supreme tags in Bruce right away and he slowly but easily steps over the top rope and enters the ring, facing his old rival in Faith. He points at Faith, trash talking him, then they lock up, which isn’t a good idea for Faith as he is easily shoved back into the corner like a rag doll. They lock up again and it’s obvious that Faith isn’t even close to being able to move the Giant. Bruce shouts “is that all you’ve got?!” In response, Faith bounces off the ropes and clotheslines the Giant, staggering him. He does it again, and the Giant is wobbly. A third time sends Bruce to his knees.

MICHAELS: He brings the big man down!

JILLEFSKI: Get up, get up!

Faith goes at the legs of Bruce, stomping and dropping elbows on his knees.

MICHAELS: Working on the big man’s legs. It takes away a lot of his advantage when he’s not vertical.

The Giant catches Faith’s foot as he goes for get another boot to the knee and lifts him into a bench press position, then tosses him up in the air and he hits the ground hard. He makes the tag to Mr. Supreme, who comes into the ring and immediately clips Faith’s knee, causing him to scream out in pain.

MICHAELS: That’s the knee that Bruce the Giant attacked two weeks ago on Supreme TV!

Mr. Supreme whips Faith into the corner and exits the ring, banging his knee against the ringpost from the outside, then locking him in a Figure Four around the post. Cornell comes into the ring to try to stop it, but can’t because the referee stops him from entering the ring. While the ref is distracted, Bruce the Giant enters the ring, pulls Faith back in, and walks over his leg, putting over 600 pounds of weight on the knee. It’s clear when they life Faith to his feet that he can barely support his own weight any more, but the ref turns and tosses Bruce Giant out of the ring, making it one on one yet again.

Faith hits a desperation headbutt, knocking Supreme down, and heads for the corner. He’s caught by the leg as he stretches for the tag, but he kicks Supreme off and makes the hot tag to Cornell, who comes in hitting Supreme with punch after punch despite his injuries. After several minutes of domination by Cornell, he gets Supreme into the Guilt Trip, and Supreme submits almost immediately, before Bruce the Giant can even enter the ring to save him.

Winners: Christian Faith and Tommy Cornell by submission in 13:38

A video is shown hyping Nemesis vs. Sean McFly. The match came about when Nemesis mistakenly thought that McFly stole his North American Title belt when in reality he was returning it after finding it on the real thief, No Way Jose.

North American Championship Match: Nemesis vs. Sean McFly

This was an all out brawl, with McFly and Nemesis really going at it. Nemesis started out with some power moves, but McFly used his swiftness to force Nemesis into a few mistakes. The crowd was really into it as McFly chipped away at Nemesis’s defenses before finally hitting a Delorean Driver at 21:15 and winning the SWF North American Title.

Winner: Sean McFly at 21:15 (new SWF North American Champion!)

MICHAELS: And we have a new North American Champ, Danny. What do you think about that?

JILLEFSKI: Are you mocking me, Michaels? You know what I think about that. It’s a joke. Nemesis was a great champ, and now we have to watch that imbecile Sean McFly walk around with the belt like he owns it.

MICHAELS: Well, he kind of does…

JILLEFSKI: Oh, you know what I mean, Michaels.

EISEN: Jim Force, you are just moments away from taking on Sam Keith for the World Heavyweight Championship. What are your thoughts?

FORCE: I don’t have many thoughts right now, Jerry Eisen. The only thought I have is pain. Pain for Sam Keith, and a bit of pity. You see, Keith is so confident. He’s ****y. He thinks that I’m a nobody just because I’m young. But you know what, Jerry Eisen? I’m a somebody, and that somebody is going to kick Sam Keith’s ass. That somebody is going to make him FEEL.THE...FORCE! AOWWW! (he walks off)

EISEN: Well, there you have it. Back to you guys.

Before we return to the ring we cut to a video hyping Keith vs. Force. The match came about when Keith broke one of the “unwritten rules of wrestling,” challenging Jim Force to a World Title Match even though he is the champion and gets booed. Force came out and accepted, and the two traded verbal barbs for the next week and a half before the show.

The two men start with a staredown before locking up. Force throws Keith to the ground and dominates the first few minutes of the match before Keith rakes his eyes and takes control. After a few minutes Force wrestles (literally!) control back from Keith, but he shoves Keith into the referee, who is knocked out cold. Keith hits a low blow, then heads outside the ring and grabs a steel chair, heading back into the ring and hitting Force in the head with it three times. As the ref comes to, Keith locks him in a Proton Lock and the referee quickly signals for the bell as it’s clear that Force is knocked out cold.

Winner: By KO, at 17:58, and STILL SWF World Heavyweight Champion, Sam Keith.

MICHAELS: Well, Keith’s reign isn’t over just yet, but he had to cheat to get it done.

JILLEFSKI: Cheat, Schmeet, Michaels. He won the match.

MICHAELS: That he did, Danny. That’s all we have for you tonight, folks.

We’ll see you on Tuesday for Supreme TV, where there will be sure to be some interesting fallout from tonight!

Ruthian23 · March 30, 2010

Our first PPV was in the books, and it was a pretty good one by all accounts. Maybe it wasn’t the blowaway show I would have liked, but this is a marathon, not a sprint, and you can’t give away every top match you have to offer at one Pay Per View. The buyrate was solid, and that’s what Mr. Eisen cared about, and if he was happy, I was happy, since he was the guy with the power to fire me from my job, and truth be told, I was really starting to enjoy the job.

There’s something about being a wrestling booker that’s special. I suppose the same is true in the movies or when you’re a TV writer, but there’s something surreal about writing something down and then seeing it come to fruition on a television screen. It’s almost like magic.

I was glad that the first PPV was out of the way. As I said earlier, I hated the fact that I only had two shows to set up a whole PPV, and now I would have a full month before the next one, which would seem like even more than double the time since I could really take my time and build the feuds that I wanted to build. Soon it was time for our next TV show, and I was itching to compete with the HGC yet again on Tuesday Night.

Some out of character comments:

Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be. I hope that my shows improve as I move along, because I know they're not of tremendous quality right now. I hope that there are some readers out there who are enjoying this at least somewhat, though, because I'm enjoying writing it. Thanks to Sonfaro for his predictions.

Does anyone have any thoughts so far? Positive comments are great but I'm especially interested in areas for improvement.

Just keep chugging along. That's all I can say. You'll get better as you go at it. And don't be discouraged if there's only a few people at first. It takes time to build a following someone like *James Casey has. It's looking great though, and I like the format.

SWF SUPREME TV

LIVE FROM THE MINNESOTA COLISEUM IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

HOSTED BY PETER MICHAELS AND DANNY JILLEFSKI

1/21/97

Fireworks explode as the sold out Minnesota Coliseum goes nuts in anticipation of a night of wrestling.

MICHAELS: Good evening, everyone, and WELCOME to Tuesday Night Supreme. I’m Peter Michaels and with me, as always, is Danny Jillefski.

JILLEFSKI: You forgot to say Danny Jillefski, the Man Who Knew that Sam Keith Would Still be Champ tonight.

MICHAELS: I have to give credit where credit is due. You were right about that, Danny, as Sam Keith did indeed retain his world heavyweight title last Thursday at When Hell Freezes Over, though he certainly had a bit of help from a steel chair. Tonight Nemesis will get a chance to regain his North

American Title, as he’ll take on Sean McFly in our main event.

JILLEFSKI: I can't wait for that one, Michaels. That's a pay per view caliber match, and I can prove it since it was just on the pay per view last Thursday.

Wrestlebot 9000 vs. Sebastian Krause

In a match without much heat, Wrestlebot and Krause battled for what many in the crowd felt was far too long. Their styles didn’t seem to mesh all that well, so the match was a bit awkward. Krause won in 8:19 with a reverse neckbreaker.

Winner: In 8:19, by pinfall, Sebastian Krause!

We cut backstage to Richard Eisen’s office. He is staring at Mr. Supreme, who is standing in front of his desk.

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=RichardEisen.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/RichardEisen.jpg" border="0" alt="Richard Eisen"></a> <a href="http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=AustinSmooth.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/AustinSmooth.jpg" border="0" alt="Mr. Supreme"></a>

EISEN: I don’t think I need to tell you how disappointed I am in you, but I will anyway. Last night, you faced two badly injured men. You were fresh. And yet you got pinned by Tommy Cornell. Who the hell is Tommy Cornell anyway? I put him in the match to make things easy for you!

SUPREME: What about Bruce? Why aren’t you giving him a hard time?

EISEN: …would you give Bruce a hard time? Besides, it’s not up to you to question my motives. Don’t try to deflect the blame. You blew it, and there will be a price to pay. As I said, you can not challenge for any title for six months.

SUPREME: What if I made it up to you?

EISEN: And how, exactly, would you do that?

SUPREME: By beating Christian Faith. By beating him to within an inch of his life.

EISEN: Well, I certainly like the sound of that, but how do you propose to do it?

SUPREME: I want to double down. At Nothing to Lose, me vs. Faith. No disqualification, falls count anywhere. If I win, I get that title shot we talked about. If I lose, I don’t get a title shot for at least a full year. I can beat the guy one on one, and I WILL beat him.

EISEN: No disqualification, huh? (he visibly ponders this, then smiles) You’ve got it. No disqualification it is.

MICHAELS: Wow, we have our first match for Nothing to Lose and it’s a no disqualification, falls count anywhere match between Mr. Supreme and Christian Faith!

JILLEFSKI: And Mr. Eisen seemed especially interested in that no disqualification clause.

MICHAELS: That he was, Danny. You know he has to be up to no good.

JILLEFSKI: Mr. Eisen? He’s a saint!

Everest’s music hits and he makes his way out to the ring.

MICHAELS: Just a few weeks ago, Everest seriously injured the aforementioned Christian Faith’s tag team partner from Thursday night, Tommy Cornell.

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=Everest.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/Everest.jpg" border="0" alt="Everest"></a> <a href="http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=TexasPete.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/TexasPete.jpg" border="0" alt="Rick Horn"></a>

Everest vs. Rick Horn

In a boring but mercifully short match, Everest defeated Rick Horn in 6:51 by pinfall with a Mountain Mover. Everest more or less dominated the bout, as Horn was never able to bring the big man down during the entire course of the match, while he did get a few moves in. Everest chipped away with power moves, wearing Horn down until he could hit the Mountain Mover.

MICHAELS: That’s the same damn move he used to injure Cornell!

JILLEFSKI: And this time he used it to win a match.

Jerry Eisen is backstage with Sam Keith

<a href="

http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=SamKeith.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/SamKeith.jpg" border="0" alt="Sam Keith"></a>

EISEN: Sam Keith, last night you held onto your SWF World Heavyweight Title in your match against Jim Force. (Keith grabs the mic)

KEITH: You’re damn right I did. Is anyone surprised? If they are, they’re an idiot, because I told all the pukeheads exactly what was going to happen. What did I say, Eisen? I said that Jim Force simply didn’t have the experience to beat the likes of me, and then I went out into the ring and proved it. Not only did Force lose, he didn’t even come close to touching me.

EISEN: Much has been said about a certain steel chair’s involvement in the match last night…

KEITH: Did you see me get disqualified, Eisen? (Eisen shakes his head) Of course you didn’t. I’m not going to deny that I used a steel chair; that would be ridiculous. But I used it when I knew I could, and you know what teaches you when you can and when you can’t use a steel chair? Experience. I have it, he doesn’t. I’m not going to make any apologies for using a chair, either. If you went out there night in and night out, risking your body and life, you’d do the same thing, and so would every single one of the hypocritical pukeheads who are criticizing it. The bottom line is this: I am still the World Heavyweight Champion, and there’s nothing that anyone can do to change that. (he walks off, leaving Eisen holding the microphone).

Adonis vs. Tommy Cornell

Adonis tries to control Cornell with his power, but Cornell slips through his grasp several times, using his quickness to get an advantage. Cornell frustrates Adonis with his superior mat wrestling knowledge, eventually locking on a Guilt Trip which causes the big man to submit.

Winner, at 10:52, by submission, Tommy Cornell!

After the match, Cornell grabs a microphone

CORNELL: Last Thursday night I beat Mr. Supreme. Tonight I beat Adonis. But neither one was the man I really want to beat. I want another crack at the guy who nearly cracked my ribs, at the guy who put me in the hospital for two weeks just because I beat him in a match, at the guy who damn near killed me. I want another shot at Everest. At Nothing to Lose. I’m going to show him what Rough Justice really is.

MICHAELS: Strong words from Cornell. We’ll see if he gets the match he wants.

JILLEFSKI: I defended him when it happened, Michaels, but he should really let it go. It happened weeks ago and he seems to be fine now. Why take the chance of it happening again?

MICHAELS: Because he has pride? Because Everest, as Cornell said, damn near killed him?

JILLEFSKI: Aren’t we being a little overdramatic, Michaels?

MICHAELS: You try having 550 pounds dropped on your ribs three times and then get back to me, Danny.

SWF Tag Team Championship Match: The Lords of War vs. The Outbackers

The Lords of War win pretty easily with a Hostile Takeover.

Winners, at 10:46, by pinfall, the Lords of War!

Backstage, Nemesis is walking around the arena looking extra pissed off.

MICHAELS: There’s Nemesis, who dropped his North American Title last night to Sean McFly, and he doesn’t look the least bit happy about it.

Nemesis growls as he leaves his dressing room and bumps into Jim Force. He growls again, then drops Force with a Nemesis Arrow, leaving him laid out on the floor, letting out a major scream as Force hits the ground.

MICHAELS: Nemesis obviously taking some frustration out on Jim Force, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

JILLEFSKI: I think he would have done that to the first person who looked cross-eyed at him, Michaels.

MICHAELS: And you can bet Jim Force won’t like that. He was just minding his own business and now he’s going to have a hell of a headache. What is Nemesis doing, anyway? He has a title match later and he can just win his belt back then.

JILLEFSKI: Getting warmed up? I don’t know.

Sid Streets vs. Black Hat Bailey

Black Hat Bailey starts off dominating with some mat work, keeping Streets grounded. Streets breaks a headlock that Bailey turns into a choke hold after Street’s hand drops twice and he hits him with two elbows to the gut, breaking the hold. Bailey reverses an Irish whip and sends Streets into the corner, but when he tries to follow, Streets hits him with a boot to the face and then leaps to the top rope, coming down on the dazed Bailey with a double axe handle, sending him to the mat.

He puts Bailey in a Boston Crab, but Bailey is powerful enough to power out of it, sending Streets tumbling…

…Bailey hits a belly to back suplex, but Streets kicks out at two, then hits a legsweep, knocking Bailey’s legs out from under him. As Bailey gets back to his feet, Streets kicks him in the gut and then delivers a Road to Freedom. 1…2…3!

Your winner, by pinfall at 12:12, Sid Streets!

Backstage, Richard Eisen approaches Christian Faith in Faith’s locker room. Tommy Cornell is there as well.

<a href="

EISEN: I’m sure you know by now that I booked you in a match with Mr. Supreme at Nothing to Lose.

Faith doesn’t respond, pretending he doesn’t even heard Eisen.

EISEN: Hey, I’m talking to you!

FAITH: I don’t recall inviting you to my dressing room.

EISEN: I own your dressing room (his face is red).

FAITH: Actually, I think it’s owned by the arena, but whatever you want to think, you just go on thinking it.

Eisen’s face gets redder still.

EISEN: I was coming here to let you know in person that there will be a special stipulation for your match at Nothing to Lose. If you lose the match, you have to do exactly what I say for one month. That includes who you wrestle, who you associate with, hell, you have to clean my bathroom if I tell you to. But I’ll give you a choice. You can either have that stipulation, or I’ll fire you on the spot. Your choice.

FAITH: Well, I guess it’s not much of a choice then, is it?

Eisen finally smiles

EISEN: No, I guess it’s not. And you (he turns toward Cornell). I’ll see you next week. (he walks out of the room).

FAITH: What does he mean he’ll see you next week?

CORNELL: No idea. You know he’s a bit out there

<a href="http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/?action=view&current=SWF_NA.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/Ruthian23/SWF_NA.jpg" border="0" alt="NA Champ"></a>.

The two men lock up and Nemesis shoves McFly off, then chases him into the corner, looking very hungry to regain his title. He pounds McFly in the corner, but McFly ducks under one of his punches and hits a DDT, sending Nemesis to the mat. Nemesis doesn’t stay there for long, though, and gets back up…

…Nemesis hits a superplex and both men are down and out along with the referee, who was knocked out earlier. Suddenly, Jim Force rushes down from the locker room and hits Nemesis with a flying clothesline off the top rope as he gains his footing. He drags Sean McFly on top just in time for the referee to wake up. 1…2…3!

Winner in 18:26, and STILL North American Champion, Sean McFly.

As Nemesis comes to, its obvious that he’s extremely upset.

MICHAELS: And McFly wins it! Nemesis got what was coming for him after he took out Force for no good reason earlier tonight! That’s all we have for tonight, folks. We’ll see you next week on Supreme TV!

LIVE FROM CONNECTICUT SYMPHONY HALL IN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT

HOSTED BY PETER MICHAELS AND DANNY JILLEFSKI

1/28/97</div>

The Show Opens in the Office of Richard Eisen. Tommy Cornell stands in front of the boss, looking apprehensive.

CORNELL: So, you wanted to see me? What do you want?

EISEN: I want to offer you an opportunity, Tommy. A chance to make right. As you know, Christian Faith and I aren’t on the best of terms. I can’t help but notice that you seem to be aligning yourself with him, and I want to warn you that that’s a mistake.

CORNELL: I’ll align myself with who I want to align myself with.

EISEN: You see, that’s exactly the kind of attitude I’d expect to get from him. But I have a proposal…a little game we’re going to play.

Cornell tilts his head, obviously curious despite himself.

EISEN: I’m going to let you see what it’s like to be on my bad side, and then I’m going to let you see what it’s like to be on my good side. Next week, I’m going to put you through utter hell. The week after that, it will be heaven, and you’ll get every perk afforded to someone who is on my side. It’ll allow you to make an informed decision about your future alliances.

CORNELL: And if I refuse to play along?

EISEN: You don’t have a choice. What could it hurt, anyway? It’s two weeks. A new experience each week, and very few people get to see what it’s like to be on my bad side or good side without making a choice. I’m giving you the opportunity of a lifetime.

CORNELL: And at the end of the two weeks, I make my choice?

EISEN: Absolutely. You can even have a little more time if you need it. I’m a patient man. I truly do hope that you make the right choice, though.

We cut to the arena, where fireworks are exploding.

MICHAELS: Hello and WELCOME to Tuesday Night Supreme. I’m Peter Michaels, and with me is my partner, Danny Jillefski.

JILLEFSKI: So it looks like Mr. Eisen wants to add Tommy Cornell to the stable of wrestlers who do his bidding.

MICHAELS: Cornell didn’t exactly seem to reject the idea outright, did he?

JILLEFSKI: He certainly didn’t. Maybe he’s smarter than he looks.

MICHAELS: You have to wonder what Christian Faith thought of that whole

exchange.

JILLEFSKI: I don’t have to wonder that at all, Michaels. Who cares what Faith thinks? This is between Cornell and Mr. Eisen.

MICHAELS: But Cornell has befriended Christian Faith as of late, and Cornell and Eisen hate each other.

JILLEFSKI: That doesn’t make Cornell’s business decisions his business, Michaels.

<div style="text-align:center;">_____________

Everest vs. Leo Davis</div>

Everest grabs Leo in a bear hug to start the match, and it’s all downhill from there, as the two men put on a very mediocre performance. It’s basically a squash match with Everest winning easily with a Mountain Mover.

Winner, in 6:08 by pinfall, Everest!

After the match, Everest grabs a microphone

EVEREST: Last week, Tommy Cornell challenged me to a match at Nothing to Lose. I believe I’ve already shown the world what I’m capable of doing to Tommy Cornell, so I see no need to fight him again. I decline your challenge, Cornell (he tosses the mic away and walks back to the locker room).

EISEN: Sid Streets, just a week and a half ago you were stunned in a match against No Way Jose.

STREETS: I wasn’t stunned, Eisen. If you’d told me that Jose would cheat his way to victory, I would have believed it. He tries to cheat and steal his way to holding titles all the time. Frankly, I don’t understand why the guy isn’t in jail by now. But I guess he got his revenge for me stealing “his” belt, but there’s something he didn’t think of. I want MY revenge for him stealing our match. I want Jose again, and this time I want to make sure that the rules aren’t broken.

I want a steel cage match, where escape is the only way to win. No disqualification, no rules other than whoever gets out of the cage first is the victor. Grabbing tights will be as legal as an armbar, so Jose won’t have any excuse when I beat him

MICHAELS: Fans, we welcome you back to the arena, and I’ve just been handed a note. Tonight’s main event will feature Bruce the Giant going head to head with Jim Force.

JILLEFSKI: Whoa, Michaels. That’s huge!

MICHAELS: Literally and figuratively. Now let’s head to the ring for some more action.

<div style="text-align:center;">_____________

Sebastian Krause vs. Ethan Philips</div>

The two men spend a majoritiy of the match on the mat, wrestling back and forth as they try to capitalize on the small advantages that they accumulate. Neither man can break through until Phillips hits a belly to belly suplex followed by a DDT for the win.

Winner, at 7:10 by pinfall, Ethan Philips!

Backstage, Tommy Cornell is approached by Christian Faith.

FAITH: So, what the hell was that all about?

CORNELL: What was what all about?”

FAITH: You know what. You and Eisen.

CORNELL: Oh, don’t worry about it. Like he said, I didn’t have a choice but to

play his game. I’ve got your back, man.

FAITH: I hope so. Eisen isn’t someone who you can trust, but you know that. You’re eighteen, though, and he’s a manipulative son of a bitch. Don’t let him get to you.

CORNELL: I said don’t worry about it, so don’t worry about it. We’re cool.

FAITH: We’d better be, because I can be just as vindictive as Rich Eisen if you cross me. The only difference is that you know I’ll be fair to you if you don’t, whereas that sumbitch will cross you anyway.

CORNELL: I hear you.

<div style="text-align:center;">Flare and Mario Heroic vs. Danny Bruce and Barry Kingman</div>

</div>

Heroic takes nearly six minutes to get to the ring today, once again following an elaborate (and completely new) ritual on the way to the ring. Once again, he picks up the microphone, but this time he puts it down right away without staring at it. Again, he says nothing.

JILLEFSKI: Is he ever going to actually speak into that thing?

MICHAELS: I don’t know, Danny. It doesn’t look like he knows what to do with it.

The match is a pretty good one, with Flare and Bruce starting. Bruce hits several of the signature moves of his friend, RoryMcCallum, but Flare is able to make a hot tag to Heroic after several two counts. Heroic comes in hitting a spinning punch and a back kick, then pounding on top of Bruce, driving his head into the mat. He helps him up and hits a Hero Attack for the win.

Winners, by pinfall at 6:38, Flare and Mario Heroic!

After the match, Heroic brings a finger to his mouth, shushing the crowd, then slips out of the ring and runs back to the dressing room.

Masked Patriot attempts to lock up with Jose, but Jose keeps bailing out of the ring, smiling out on the floor at the frustration he’s causing the Patriot. Eventually, the Patriot catches him as he tries to bail out yet again and hits a bulldog near the edge of the ring. The Patriot helps Jose up and goes for a backdrop, but it’s blocked and reversed ito a suplex by Jose…

…Jose helps him up and hits a swinging neck breaker followed by a Stand and Deliver. 1…2…3!

EISEN: Rory McCallum, I understand that you have something that you want to tell the world.

MCCALLUM: More like something I DON’T want to tell the world. That’s right, Eisen. I have a secret, secret, secret, and I’m not telling, telling, telling.

EISEN: So you asked for air time to announce that you’re not announcing something?

MCCALLUM: That’s right, Eisen. The thing about secrets is that nobody wants to know them if they don’t know you have them because they don’t know that they want to know. Once you tell them that you have a secret, though, everyone wants to know. BUT I’M NOT TELLING.

EISEN: Well, when will we learn your little secret?

MCCALLUM: Next week, Eisen. Next week the world will know my little secret. Secret, secret, secret!

The Perfect Storm vs. Phillip Roberts and Eric Tyler</div>

MICHAELS: Eric Tyler making his SWF debut here.

Roberts and Tyler are both excellent technicians, so they were able to hold their own, but the Perfect Storm proved too much for them and they won with a Guillotine Leg Drop.

Winners, by pinfall, The Perfect Storm!

Commercials

We Cut Backstage, where Sean McFly is walking around the locker room.

MCFLY: Anyone here drive a blue ’92 Ferrari? Anyone?

Alex Pierce replies.

PIERCE: What’s it to you?

MCFLY: Does that mean you do, dude? Because I accidentally hit it backing out of my space.

PIERCE: What?!

MCFLY: It’s okay, dude. We can exchange insurance information and…

PIERCE: YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S GOING TO NEED INSURANCE!

MCFLY: (blinks) Yeah, that’s what I just said. I have insurance, and I’ll…

PIERCE: I meant health insurance, McFly. I love that car.

MCFLY: Dude, I’m really sorry. I just didn’t see it. How can I make it up to

you?

PIERCE: There’s no way you can…(he eyes the belt on McFly’s shoulder) Well, for starters you could give me a chance at that. At Nothing to Lose.

MCFLY: That’s fine, dude. Do you still want my insurance information, too?

<div style="text-align:center;">Danny Rushmore vs. Tommy Cornell</div>

The two men brawl to start, exchanging blows. Cornell gets the best of it and locks on a front facelock into a side headlock takedown followed by a chinlock. Cornell gets him to a standing position, but Rushmore shoves him off and hits him with a running clothesline, which Cornell pops right back up from, and Cornell hits a high knee when Rushmore tries to hit another...

...Rushmore hits a Front Slam but misses a splash. Cornell gets up and applies a hammerlock, then backs up and kicks Rushmore's legs from under him, sending him to the mat. Cornell locks on the Guilt Trip, but Rushmore is too close to the ropes and he reaches them to break the hold. Cornell helps Rushmore up and whips him into the corner, following it with a Hung Jury but after several blows Rushmore hits a low blow and then flips himself off the ropes, getting Cornell into a bear hug. Cornell breaks it with several elbows to his midsection, then hits a facebuster followed by a Guilt Trip for the victory!

Your winner, by submission, Tommy Cornell!

Backstage, Christian Faith enters Richard Eisen’s office

EISEN: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don’t remember inviting you here. (he stands up and backs up a few feet)

FAITH: Oh, sit your ass down, Rich. I’ll make this short and sweet. Tommy Cornell is a kid, a good kid, and he doesn’t need you screwing with his head. He’s eighteen years old. Give the kid a break.

EISEN: I could say the same thing to you. Like you’re not playing with his head. ‘You can’t trust Eisen,’ ‘Eisen will stab you in the back.’ It’s nonsense. I take care of my people, Faith, and if he chooses to become one of them, that’s up to him.

FAITH: This animosity, he’s between me and you, Rich. Don’t make him a pawn in our game.

EISEN: (grins) I’ll take your advice under consideration, Faith. Will that be all?

(Faith takes a step toward Eisen, but Eisen steps back further and Faith thinks better of it.)

EISEN: If you ever lay a hand on me I’ll have your job, Faith. I swear it.

FAITH: I know that. I just need to determine if it’d be worth it.

(Eisen gulps, as we head back to the ring)

Bruce the Giant vs. Jim Force</div>

In a pretty bad match with some decent heat, Bruce the Giant pins Jim Force after a Giant Chokeslam. Force looked pretty strong throughout the bout, even bringing the big man to his knees once, but in the end the Giant’s size and strength proved to be too much for him.

MICHAELS: And Bruce the Giant taking out some of that frustration after losing to Cornell and Faith at When Hell Freezes over, beats the man who lost to Sam Keith there. We’ll see you next week on Supreme TV!

Sonfaro · April 2, 2010

Gotta question your use of Jim Force in the main event. Regardless of push, he doesn't have the in-ring skills you need to main event the shows. Not yet anyway. It's your diary though, and I'm sticking along for the ride.
