The Fearsome Bunsen in the UK - HIW

Boltinho · May 4, 2011

wow that was a long time between posts. Sorry for the delay everyone and thanks for your patience.

Results:

Zergon 4/6

20Legend 2/6

MJStark 2/6

Some tricky ones there. Noone saw Sharky losing to Darren and thats probably my fault for not building him enough.

The idea of HIW is that its supposed to be tight. Anyone can lose on a given day and with no face/heel split it can be ANYONE. Still - I suck for not being a good storyteller. Still Dazza did provide the two best segments of the night with his promo and match both into B-. The match was actually our 8th best ever which came out of the blue!

Also - my medium-term plan is to weed out (most) of the non c-verse canon characters so Sharky cant stay dominant forever.

Zergon wins any HIW merchandise he can dream up. Congratulations.

Also a massive thanks to my loyal predictors for my DOTM nomination. Clearly there is some great work with storylines, and logic and good descriptions and stuff but its nice for a crappy homemade promo who sell ironing-board covers and dog t-shirts to get a look in.

Thanks for reading everyone!

Next time from HIW:

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

http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/933/hiwspark.jpg</div>

As per normal these days Spark will close out the month and give all the big names a chance to reflect on what they've done... This will be a pretty short turnaround and writeup (hopefully) so we can all concentrate on the important things.

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg

Danny Appleseed vs. Einar Karlsen vs. Jerome Lane vs. Francis O'Brien

Three men who have tasted some success in HIW but not stayed at the top of the pile and Danny Applseed who hasnt done much yet but is clearly talented. Very different styles here so it could be interesting.

De Oranje Dieren vs. Emerald Angel vs. Glen Ward

Two masked foregners with swandives on their mind take on a debutant - "The Angry Man" Glen Ward. Dieren is the biggest name here but Angel is chock full of talent.

Jay B vs Tom Foolery

A current Shortcut (who just defeated Sharky geiorge remember) takes on another debutant. Tom is a big man but he's out of shape. Can HIW help him get it back again? Maybe they should both stay in bed.

The Evil Henchmen vs. Heavy Metal (Beast & Menace)

How Evil are the henchmen really? And who do they belong to? Are they as evil as the two unstoppable monsters? I'll give you all a sneaky, shock tip - they wont win here!

The Nadir (Ony Svoboda vs. Ioakim Nikolic) vs. Red & Jed (Red Dragon & Jed High)

Red Dragon is popular but hasn't really achieved much in HIW. Could a win catapult them on to bigger things or are the mysterious Nadir going to embark on a climb to the top?

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg

Thanks for reading everyone and even more so for the votes for c-verse diary of the month. The written-word equivalent of backyard wrestling strikes a blow for freedom!

Jay B vs Tom Foolery

The Evil Henchmen vs. Heavy Metal

The Nadir vs. Red & Jed

BONUS POINT for telling me which 90s indie band was referenced in the match previews

Zergon · May 5, 2011

I would like to have some Evil Henchman merchandise this time.

Danny Appleseed vs. Einar Karlsen vs. Jerome Lane vs. Francis O'Brien

As far as I know Lane is above rest of these guys

De Oranje Dieren vs. Emerald Angel vs. Glen Ward

Just a guess, I don´t know what to expect here.

Jay B vs Tom Foolery

Maybe Jay B gets a push too, I actually hope so as I have liked him ever since I hired him on one of my TEW08 games.

The Evil Henchmen vs. Heavy Metal

I know, it´s a wild guess but I can as well back up the underdogs:p

The Nadir vs. Red & Jed

I really like this team too bad that they can only beat jobbers, luckily though Nadir qualifies as one.

Boltinho · May 9, 2011

Well that was a long wait for a decidedly average show. My favourite part was messing up and having my dull road agent do an interview instead of the scintillatingly awesome Fearsome Bunsen.

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg

There were a couple of odd results in here so I'll explain:

Jerome Lane was clearly the biggest name in the ME and probably the most skilled too but one of my objectives is reduce the number of non-database people in HIW. Danny Appleseed is going to be a huge star one day so i dont feel too bad.

Noone had De oranje Dieren winning the 3way. As talented as Emerald Angel is I dont want to push him too hard as a big company in Japan is clearly going to notice soon. Dieren is outrageously talented and even though he is an autogen I want him to be a star one day.

Results:

Zergon 3/6

MJStark 2/6

Zergon - you're the lucky winner of any HIW merch your fevered mind can demand. (Evil henchmen? Really? It must be the great alts. They really should be reserved for a team with talent)

Next show's matches to be announced soon. I'm going to try to get back to 2 shows a week.

Pitbull Brown & Rolling Johnny Stones vs. The Foundation (Leo Price & Stevie Stoat) - steel cage match

These two teams have been at each others throats all year. Johnny returned from being kidnapped last month and wants to end this feud once and for all.

UK Dragon vs. Sharky George

Ex-champ Dragon is recapturing his form. Can he overcome the tough Australian? Sharky is another ex-champ. Can he manage to recover his form after surprisingly losing his Death-Proof title to Darren White?

And introducing the HIW Eurovison tribute tournament!

Round one sees tag teams face off in straight elimination fixtures.

Great Britain vs. Portugal

Ireland vs. Netherlands

Russia vs. Spain

Belarus vs. Norway

Zergon · May 10, 2011

Pitbull Brown & Rolling Johnny Stones vs. The Foundation

Just going with the team I like more

UK Dragon vs. Sharky George

Well you said you want to eventually phase Sharky out so I can´t see him getting over your former champ.

Great Britain vs. Portugal

With you being based in UK it´s pretty safe to guess that Britain goes to the finals.

Ireland vs. Netherlands

I like Double Dutch

Russia vs. Spain

Only russians I can think of are The Nadir and I doubt they will get anywhere

Belarus vs. Norway

Karlsen is the only norwegian I can think of and I don´t see him winning no matter who he´s opponent might be

Great Britain = Youth Explosion

Portugal = Dark and Super Falcon

Ireland = Francis O’Brien and ???? (Jay B?)

Netherlands = Double Dutch

Russia = The Nadir

Spain = Victor Hugo

Belarus = Eastern Block even though Dolf isn´t from Belarus

Norway = Einar Karlsen & ???

Ok I´m not even sure if all these guys are from where I think they are, but lets go with these.

The four men involved don’t disappoint and take some brutal liberties with each other. Kathleen seems desperate to help and tries to distract through the cage but is pretty much ignored in favour of brawling. Leo and Stevie are the older men here and tire first but that leads to increased desperation. Leo actually wrenches a steel bar loose and nails RJS and Pitbull with it. Unfortunately it’s not easy to escape a ring when you’re tired and getting on a bit and Pitbull manages to recover and haul Leo back down where the tide turns. After a renewed beatdown Pitbull and Johnny manage to climb out together to win the match.

After I proved against British Samurai that I’ve lost none of my skill and bravery I’m left waiting another month for the chance to take the belt back for all you fans. “I’m only hoping that Belarus are knocked out soon but in the meantime there are plenty of other scores to be settled around here. Like Sharky George.” C- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="28478" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Sharky George vs. UK Dragon http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6013/sharkygeorge.jpghttp://img545.imageshack.us/img545/894/58339651.jpghttp://img694.imageshack.us/img694/48/ukdragonalt1jt.jpg These two men have some serious history but haven’t fought for several months. Sharky is still smarting from his surprise defeat last month and UK Dragon is definitely not a happy man. None of that stops this being enthralling stuff though as the small and agile Dragon tries to stay clear of the tough but slower Australian. Needless to say it’s toe to toe stuff but after a good 15 minutes brawling the fan’s favourite UK Dragon hits a surprise Dragon Drop out of nothing to seal the win.

MJStark 3/6 Zergon 4/6 (although admittedly a 6pt bonus!) http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg I had a fun time with this show. I love Eurovision for the stupid camp cheesiness anyway and I knew there was a reason I had all these obscure Europeans on the roster. http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg Not a great rating but Im sanguine. Basically I emply the most over people in my region that I could do but because noone is that over at all (no big UK companies or heritage) they just arent that high. Thats why I'm chipping awat at other regions. I figure a TV deal can be a game-changer but I cant get one yet as Im only a decent size in 1/5 regions

Almost forgot to mention...

Zergon - of course you're the winner of this week's merch. please feel free to select away

As an Irishman Fred is heavily favoured in Eurovision but Adam has been building momentum recently. Joey Beauchamp vs. Petey Barnes Joey is the more accomplished but in many ways Petey is a younger version of him [Belarus vs. Spain] Dolf Kernen vs. Victor Rodriguez Victor has been spinning his wheels. Dolf has been hitting the big time but on the back of his association with Sergei Hugo Lopes vs. Sergei Kalashnov The champ takes on another man who hasnt had the success of his tag partner. Can Sergei keeo away from the many men who want to see him lose? Youth Explosion (Leigh Burton & Ricky Storm) vs. Mystery (Scottish Elemental & English Avenger) for the HIW tag titles Y.E have just come out well from their feud with The Hustlers. Can they stay at such a high level of performance? UK Dragon vs. Jerome Lane The Dragon is facing some big names whilst he waits to get a chance at winning his title back. Can he keep the wins up or will the Australian nation get involved? http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7529/hiwf.jpg Adam Matravers vs. Fred Murray Joey Beauchamp vs. Petey Barnes Dolf Kernen vs. Victor Rodriguez Hugo Lopes vs. Sergei Kalashnov Youth Explosion vs. Mystery UK Dragon vs. Jerome Lane As always winner gets their choice of HIW merch Thanks for reading everyone

Zergon · May 14, 2011

I´d like to have some Os Falcoes stuff this time.

Adam Matravers vs. Fred Murray

Joey Beauchamp vs. Petey Barnes

I go 1-1 with these two matches

Dolf Kernen vs. Victor Rodriguez

Hugo Lopes vs. Sergei Kalashnov

Ditto here

Youth Explosion vs. Mystery

Mystery isn´t going to get the titles here.

UK Dragon vs. Jerome Lane

Lane has been going downhill lately and I don´t see it changing here.

I love the Falcons. Cool renders, decent high fliers, they're best friends... My sort of workers.

Anyway, this isnt exactly exclusive merch but HIW have an announcement to make.

From now on all event catering will be handled by:

The two masked men are clearly in their element in a match like this and have a great stab at snatching the tag titles. Y.E seem a little distracted by their dressing-room problem and as a result aren’t as polished as usual.

Many expected Jerome to be a stiff test. He’s one of the most talented men in HIW after all but the Aussie ex-commando really never stood a chance here of doing anything apart from defending furious attacks. Jerome is too skilled to get steamrollered but this is a desperate attempt to stay in the match rather than win it and it can only last so long.

Fred has won the tag titles before. Adam is a past Velocity champ but neither have won on the big stage so there’s a lot to fight for. The British/Irish rivalry is in full effect and really drives the fans watching this but ultimately there can only be one winner. And it’s Adam.

That seemed like a very straight-forward and orthodox show didnt it? 5 singles matches where the big names win and a tag match thrown in for variety. Who am I booking? TCW?

Time will tell if this continues...

Results:

MJStark 6/6

Zergon 6/6

Every single entrant got 100%!

Congrats both of you. lets hope next week is a bit less straight-forward. Who am I booking? USPW?

MJStark wins the prize this week on the tiebreaker (Zergon won last time). please feel free to select away.

I feel the HIW clothing line could do with a new addition so I'd like a double sided Heavy Metal Tshirt <img alt="
