"The League"--A Multiplayer Wrestling Spirit II Experience

Lol. The tap part was aimed at Wrestling Century since he's facing me, but Diamond will be tapping soon enough as well.

Sorry sweety, Diamond doesn't tap.

It's less "picking on" and more "I like flying body presses from women".

I'mma tell your wife.

I'mma tell your wife.

Well played.

moon_lit_tears · October 10, 2010

Well played.

Diamonds, roses, or Tacos will keep me quiet though.

Specially Tacos.

Ranson · October 10, 2010

Tacos, I can do. I'm a gemhound, so there are a lot of stones I prefer to diamonds. Gimme sapphires any day.

I prefer the Blue Topaz over any other to be quiet honest, close second are diamonds, but not just any old diamond will do. I was never a diamond fan unless they are pink.

ShadowedFlames · October 10, 2010

OK, you two. Unless you want me to start writing vignettes of your two characters falling in love backstage, you might wanna give it a break at least until I get the pre-show written. Else I'mma sending Maxx to steal more of your M&M's.

Jman2k3 · October 11, 2010

Sorry sweety, Diamond doesn't tap.

Then I'll just have to break her bones then. Since she doesn't tap out.

Season Two, Week Two

October 11, 2010

http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg

Welcome back, fans and participants alike! Tori Montgomery, here as always to break down what happened during the first week of this young season. And I think I can speak for those of us who watched the League last season when I say "it's about bloody time you used your finisher, Shawn Arrows!"

Another card will be upon us all too soon, so without further ado, let's get to business, shall we?

PREDICTION CENTRAL

Only three picks went against the majority of voters this week, which is not too bad for a first week. Messrs. I effin rule, Jman2k3, and masterded tie for top honors this week with 6 points apiece, with three others and myself just a single point behind. Fourteen people were in the picks this week, which is the highest turnout so far in the League's brief history.

1 (tie). I effin rule, Jman2k3, masterded: 6 points

4 (tie). Derek_b, moon_lit_tears, TheKenwyne, Tori Montgomery: 5 points

8 (tie). Jaded, Prophet, Toasty: 4 points

11 (tie). Arrows, Wrestling Century: 3 points

13 (tie). Dangrel, Ranson: 2 points

We stay in the UK this week, this time visiting Exeter in the southern part of the country. All the rules that applied last week will do so here, as well. All matches this week are divisional matches, so I expect to see some heated showdowns this time out.

WEEK TWO: EXETER, ENGLAND (UK: SOUTH)

(Regular match, match can be stopped for blood loss, ref bumps are not allowed)

DELTA DIVISION: Super Century (0-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (1-0, 11%)

Stevens dominated his first match, while Century put up a good showing. Stevens is the fresher of the two, though not by much, and I see him pulling out a squeaker here.

Tori's Pick: Scott Stevens, via pinfall (Z"ha"dum), 11:10, C+

ALPHA DIVISION: Ly Quang Bao (0-1, 13%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 16%)

Bao did not look comfortable at all in his debut match. I don't see him getting settled in here. Nuclear in a walk.

Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton, via pinfall (Armageddon Lariat), 5:10, F

BETA DIVISION: Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 14%)

This is a surprisingly close match to pick. I have Maxx winning it on the strength of his power game.

Tori's Pick: Maxx Skabb, via pinfall (Lethal Injection), 11:40, C

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (1-0, 12%) vs. Tarik Nolan (1-0, 19%)

Nolan comes in the worse for wear following his epic match with Johnny Triumph last week; Sean isn't faring much better. Last season, Sean won their lone encounter; I think Tarik gets his revenge this time.

Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan, via pinfall (Regulator), 10:30, C-

GAMMA DIVISION: El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 18%) vs. The Phoenix (1-0, 13%)

I daresay that Phoenix winning was the second biggest shock last week. I may surprise people with this pick, but against an opponent similar to Diamond, I think he'll manage to get his second win of the season.

Tori's Pick: The Phoenix, via pinfall (missed Fuego Infernal), 14:50, C+

ALPHA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (1-0, 21%) vs. SGRaaize (0-1, 11%)

Both men have beaten the other. This could be close, but I think Maynard wins the rubber match despite both men being in similar physical condition.

Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard, via submission (Merseyside Maul), 11:20, C

DELTA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (0-1, 14%) vs. Diamond (0-1, 22%)

Round three of this series is also the rubber match, as the two split last season's series. Diamond will likely have learned from her mistake last week, and will win her second against Triumph. Both previous encounters have been Matches of the Night. I think this may follow suit.

Tori's Pick: Diamond, via pinfall (Diamond in the Sky), 19:50, A

BETA DIVISION: Shawn Arrows (1-0, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-1, 21%)

Arrows comes in on a wave of momentum, and is in better condition that Sebastian after the first week. I don't see a finisher coming, but Arrows has won in other methods.

Tori's Pick: Shawn Arrows, via pinfall (Slingshot Legdrop), 14:20, B

We return to the US next week, heading to the former capital of the Confederacy—Richmond, Virginia. One match promises to be the most popular match we'll see this season, so that will be a treat to enjoy.

But until next time, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

WEEK TWO: EXETER, ENGLAND (UK: South)

DELTA DIVISION: Super Century (0-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (1-0, 11%)

ALPHA DIVISION: Ly Quang Bao (0-1, 13%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 16%)

BETA DIVISION: Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 14%)

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (1-0, 12%) vs. Tarik Nolan (1-0, 19%)

GAMMA DIVISION: El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 18%) vs. The Phoenix (1-0, 13%)

ALPHA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (1-0, 21%) vs. SGRaaize (0-1, 11%)

DELTA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (0-1, 14%) vs. Diamond (0-1, 22%)

Two things:

1) Jman, it looks like you skipped a match in your predictions (El Demonio v Phoenix). May want to check that.

2) Pages for all people who have sent me training PM's have been updated. 75% of you have turned them in already; I like this pace as it lets me run matches earlier if possible and gives me more time to work on commentary instead of being rushed. So keep it up, guys and gal!

Sure Triumph has less energy and his head is in such bad shape no ethical Doctor would let him wrestle. That being said his name is Triumph and his Doctor isn't ethical. So I am sticking with my guy.

*golf clap* well played, sir. Especially the line about the doctor. I may have to borrow that one this week....

ShadowedFlames · October 15, 2010

Training deadline has passed. All pages have been updated to reflect training done this week.

Still have a day to get your predictions in, for those of you who haven't yet.

EDIT: As a teaser, this week's Match of the Night runs for 43 minutes and change. All I'm gonna say.

Let me guess something else Triumph ends up with negative head health something most doctors didn't think possible, but Triumph shows them.

Good lord man, don't taunt us like that! We must know the important details of the show! Such as "Do I look great in these tights, or what?"
