I believe in Harvey....Wrong person

 

I hate Mark Krogan. Something about him annoys me. VIVA The New Age!

 

You're DEAD to me although I am partial to these California Guys and I promise Jason I will never doubt you again unless you're in a title match, you're not winning the title......I don't think.

 

Really though aj great card, you really are committed to the California push and I like that. I want to see whats next in the Nero/Pat feud I think that and the Texas Outlaw drama are my favorite things not named Mark Krogan and Jason Jackson haha

Poor Grandpa Krogan! He's understandably part of the 'old guard' in TWL and, at age 46, is probably about done with wrestling. But he is professional wrestling to many of the fans in the South and has to be treated with some respect. There was no way, for instance, that Krogan was taking the fall in the 6-man match. Archie Judge is a snot-nosed 20 year old - he can job without losing too much momentum or popularity.

You? Partial to the California guys? Nah. And as I've said before, one of the best things that could've happened for me (creatively...NOT in TEW!) was losing Rip Chord. It makes the main event and the TWL Title much more fluid. JJ and Double Disaster would've NEVER main evented a show when Chord had the belt.

 

The Nero/Pat feud is on hiatus for a bit, but count on Nero/Chief to keep heating up. After all, there is a write up in the canon about that feud in Texas in 1978! Will history repeat itself (or write itself a first time...or something...this is becoming like Back to the Future Part II!)?

[Guest cmdrsam]

Here is a thought. You and Stennick do a joint cross promotion show. But with the perspective from your own territory. That would rock I think.

Ha Ha I'm good for two shows a week but I don't see any way to make it from April of 77 to Feb of 78. Maybe if aj ever slows down I might just catch up, I wrote that entire show in one day btw so blah <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Another big event coming from TWL this month, as they present TWL Cold as the Grave. As is befitting the name, there are some real grudge matches scheduled for this month.

 

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

There is bad blood between Johnny Boy and the Reyes clan and tension between Tucker and Bowman. This explosive situation will come to a head in this match!

 

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain

The leader of the Nation against the 17-year old phenom. Will Nero's youngest Disciple overcome the experienced and disciplined Chief?

 

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

Can the makeshift team of Deacon and Trailer Park Kid overcome their inexperience and defeat the psychotic brawlers Machete and Rampage?

 

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider

Krogan requested that Johnny Boy Tucker be his partner, but Tucker is ambivalent. Will the experience of Krogan and Stampy be enough to overcome the power and youth of the Night Rider and Jason Jackson?

 

Professor Nero v. Cobra

Nero had a real battle to defeat Cobra's partner, Viper. Can Nero go two for two against the Crimson Serpent Cult?

 

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

For weeks, Jones has rubbed the symbols of the Texas Outlaws in the face of Green. Will his determination be enough to unseat the enforcer of the fabled Outlaws?

 

 

Quick Picks:

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider

Professor Nero v. Cobra

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

[Stennick]

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon - I don't see Floyd and Tucker losing the championships but some sort of controversy is brewing in one form or another.

 

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain - Giving it to two birds

 

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage) - Its my life's work to never bet against Perfect Pat, he's perfect you know, you don't lose when your perfect.

 

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider - This one has kept me up for weeks (or atleast the few minutes its been posted) - Jason got the win last week but I truly think that Krogan will get the win here. However Jason Jackson pays the bills (well not really) and I'm not going to betray my Jackson clan now.

 

Professor Nero v. Cobra - Much like seven birds I'm not going against the monster.

 

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones - I almost thought Green was going to win but you don't have a lot of time with Blackheart and he needs to be doing big things with (bigger) people.

[Big Roguey]

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

Ain't no emo in my boy JB TUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Plus the F-Bomb is there too.

 

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain

He is an eagle. Warlord is suckiness times ten.

 

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

I have caught the Paranoia. PPD must be beaten!!!

 

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider

VIVA The New Age! Krogan is old, useless and stupid. I predict a JB Tucker turn soon. Then The New Age will be complete!

 

Professor Nero v. Cobra

Next!

 

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

MMG is outta here!

[1PWfan]

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads...

 

Or to put in if Bowman's language- "Roads? What the f*** do we need f*****' roads for? Where we're f*****' going we don't need f*****' roads you stupid f****!"

 

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

Because the Outlaws are awesome

 

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain

The Lords of War are a useful team, but they're not built for singles competition

 

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

A trifle illogical as these two are easily outclassed, but if Deacon loses a few there's more chance of him sticking around

 

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider

Because a) Krogan's awesome, b) Stampeder sounds little like Stomper, and c) Krogan's awesome (I know I repeated that one, but he's so awesome it counts twice

 

Professor Nero v. Cobra

That's like booking Bret Hart to lose to Ricky Morton in Calgary. You just don't do it, no matter how good the tag guy is

 

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

By DQ or something- I've found if a guy loses a bit at first the big leagues pass over him, and then you can build him back up without losing him for a few years

[Boltinho]

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

Shenanigans to set up Outlaws vs Tucker

 

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain

Big star vs 17-year-old?

 

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

Paranoia won the singles so...

 

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider

I want to go the other way but Krogan is too big

 

Professor Nero v. Cobra

Nero does the double

 

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

A (very belated) thank you to everyone who voted for this diary as Rookie DOTM. I just realized earlier today that I'd won. Certainly unexpected, but thank you all the same!

[falling_star]

WL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman/Johnny Boy Tucker © v. Border Runners (Don Juan/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

Seems like the perfect time and set-up to put the belts on The Border Runners

 

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain

Somehow, I don't see Pain putting a chink in the Chief's armor

 

'Perfect' Pat Deacon/Trailer Park Kid v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

Was on the fence with this one. . . if it'd been someone other than Deacon teaming with TPK, even if it was him and Green, I'd choose Paranoia without question, but Deacon makes me wonder. . .

 

Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan/Lone Star Stampeder v. 'New School' Jason Jackson/Night Rider

How else is Jackson supposed to get a title shot?

 

Professor Nero v. Cobra

I mean, its Professor Nero.

 

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

TWL Tag Team Title Match: Floyd ‘F-Bomb’ Bowman/‘American Made’ Johnny Boy Tucker v. The Border Runners (Don Juan Reyes/Luis Reyes) w/Shannon

Billy’s Take: This was a hot match to start off the show as both Bowman and Tucker have long-standing issues with the Reyes brothers. As is becoming routine, Shannon and Don Juan spent the match trying, rather unsuccessfully, to distract Johnny Boy Tucker with extracurricular shenanigans outside the ring. And as is also becoming routine, Luis Reyes stole the show inside it. The match was back and forth, with both sides getting multiple near-falls. In the end, the Reyes’ surprised us all when they hit the Double Fence Hop Legdrop on a downed Floyd Bowman to pick up the win and to gain the TWL Titles.

Johnny Boy Tucker slammed his fists into the mat, obviously frustrated at having lost the match. Floyd Bowman looked equally pissed, but also a little shocked (particularly since he had been the one pinned). The duo stormed to the back, Bowman hurling a string of profanities as no one in particular and Tucker hurling a wooden folding chair – also at no one in particular. The crowd didn’t know what to make of the childish tantrums and I heard a few boos mixed in the fan’s reaction. D

Chief Two Eagles v. Warlord Pain w/Professor Nero

Billy’s Take: Perhaps someday this will be a competitive singles match. As it stands now, Pain is a 17-year old powerful, but green, tag team specialist while Chief Two Eagles is perennially among the top wrestlers in the world and is just entering his prime. So while this was a hard-fought, competitive match, the ending was never really in doubt.

Blackheart Jones strode out to the ring and, for the first time in his TWL tenure, grabbed a microphone.

“I’ve come out here for the last three months to get the attention of the Texas Outlaws. And what’ve I got? A couple o’ throwaway matches against the resident gutter trash, that’s what. I want in the Texas Outlaws, and I want in right now!” Floyd ‘F-Bomb’ Bowman, Mean Mark Green, and the Trailer Park Kid came out to the ring. Bowman took the microphone first. “Who the **** do you think you are? Think you’re a ****in’ tough guy? A ****in’ cowboy? Well **** you and then **** your *****-*** ****in’ Momma.” Jones looked ready to pounce on Bowman before Mean Mark grabbed the microphone from the spitting mad Floyd Bowman. “What my colleague is tryin’ to point out,” Mark began in his cool twang, “is that you ain’t done nothin’ to convince us that you’re Outlaw material. But I admire your guts, I really do. So I’ll tell you what. You think you’re so damn tough? Fine. Let’s see how you stack up against the baddest of all the Texas Outlaws. Tonight, you get…me. And our match ain’t for a spot in the Outlaws. Its for the spot in the Outlaws. My spot, the enforcer of the Texas Outlaws. You win, you’re in. You lose…well, let’s just say you’ll see what it means to get taken out…Outlaw style.” D+

Trailer Park Kid/‘Perfect’ Pat Deacon w/Major W.G. Reginald III v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

Billy’s Take: Painted Paranoia came out first, both men causing fans near ringside to cringe at their oddly painted visages. When their non-painted counterparts strode to the ring, the crowd erupted. Inside the ring, Machete and Rampage had the upper hand for short amounts of time, but were repeatedly forced to break chokeholds and other illegal maneuvers (clearly demonstrating that No Holds Barred matches are truly their strongest suit). In the end, it was this inability to work a match with actual rules that cost the painted duo as Machete ate a Deacon Driver to give the makeshift tandem of Deacon and the Trailer Park Kid the win.

Apparently unsatisfied with the outcome of the match, Rampage jumped Trailer Park Kid from behind, pummeling the Texas Outlaw into the ground. Pat Deacon turned around and Rampage locked him in the Silent Death, nearly choking out ‘Perfect Pat’ as Major Reginald III could do little but try unsuccessfully to pry the monster off of his client and best friend. As Rampage and Machete left the ring, there was little reason to think that, despite Deacon and the Kid winning the match, the hatred between these four men had subsided. C-

‘New School’ Jason Jackson and The Night Rider came out to the ring. Jackson took a microphone. “Ladies, ladies, ladies. I have a question for you. Have you been screamin’?” The ladies, and most of the men in the audience, booed loudly, “have you been beamin’,” he paused, “have you been,” a long drawn out pause, “California’ dreamin’? ‘Cuz the California Dreamboat, the Sacramento Sensation, the Los Angeles Love Machine, New School Jason Jackson is definitely worth dreaming about!” The crowd booed lustily until Mark ‘The Lariat’ Krogan strode out to the ring, looking around as if expecting someone. He took the house microphone. “Johnny Boy Tucker, where are ya’ at kid? Ya’ told me that you’d partner me tonight ‘gainst Jackson and the Night Rider.” Krogan waited, and waited, and waited some more, but Tucker did not emerge from the back. Krogan’s shoulders slumped. “Well, it looks like he ain’t comin’. Looks like I gotta improvise!” He charged like a raging bull into Jackson, knocking him to the mat and sending the wind out of his lungs. Unfortunately for Krogan, the Night Rider quickly intervened and evened the odds. C+

The Lone Star Stampeder/Mark ‘The Lariat’ Krogan v. ‘New School’ Jason Jackson/The Night Rider

Billy’s Take: Right as I rang the bell, The Lone Star Stampeder ran to the ring and hopped up on the apron, apparently serving as Krogan’s replacement partner. The match went back and forth, with the babyfaces gaining ground every time Krogan was in the ring, but barely staving off defeat when Stampy matched up against the younger, quicker Jason Jackson or the more powerful Night Rider. In the end, Stampy took a powerful bodyslam from the Night Rider that clearly would’ve secured the victory but the opportunistic Jason Jackson tagged himself in and superfluously locked in the California Dream clawhold to pin Stampy and pick up the win while the Night Rider and Krogan battled on the far side of the ring.

Cobra v. Professor Nero

Billy’s Take: Like last time, Nero’s opponent is a tag-team specialist and unaccustomed to singles matches. And just like last time, this miniscule advantage was all Nero needed to prevail, locking Cobra in the Descent into Madness after about 12 minutes of back and forth to pick up the win.

After the match, Professor Nero took a microphone. “My dear Chiefie, it appears that another member of your so-called Nation failed to defeat me. You live in a fantasy world, don’t you? One where good guys wearing white hats always win the day and where the bad guys dressed in black slink away, tails between their legs. Is that how you think this will end Chiefie? With you riding off into the sunset? ” he giggled maniacally. “Hardly. Here’s how its going to end Chiefie. With everyone around you writhing in pain,” Nero took his trusty cane and bashed Cobra with it, “and in sorrow,” he continued the assault, “and in misery!” Unsurprisingly, this brought out Viper, Prophet, and Chief Two Eagles to back Nero away from Cobra. Nero’s backups arrived soon thereafter with TimberWolf leading the Lords of War, Warlord Agony and Warlord Pain, out to the ring to stand behind their demented leader. “Just remember Chiefie,” the confident Professor began, “that every time you fight back, every time you even think about revenge you get one step closer to taking off that white hat and accepting the black. You get one step closer….to being….ME!” Nero cackled and leapt at Chief Two Eagles’ elaborate Comanche headdress. This time Chief did not simply turn aside the attack, but instead retaliated, throttling Nero until his Lords of War pulled the Professor to safety. Nero laughed and wheezed at the same time, a guttural sound passing his lips. “One…step…closer…” he whispered into the microphone before leaving the ring. C-

Mean Mark Green v. Blackheart Jones

Billy’s Take: Green and Jones circled one another ominously to begin the match and then attacked. The two brutalized one another from pillar to post, all around the ring and even spilling outside to the floor. Both were nearly counted out, but managed to slide in just before the ten count. Jones looked to have the match won after connecting with a vicious elbow to Green’s temple. But Mean Mark kicked out at two. This seemed to rejuvenate the enforcer of the Outlaws as he pummeled Jones until Blackheart’s head began to seep blood from a wound near his eyebrow line. As the crimson mask grew and blood colored the canvas, Mean Mark punched even harder, sending Jones sprawling to the mat. Apparently satisfied with the carnage, Green picked Jones up and delivered a crushing Outlaw Driver, pinning Jones’ shoulders for the 1…2…3.

Floyd ‘F-Bomb’ Bowman, and, somewhat surprisingly, Johnny Boy Tucker came out to the ring, standing beside Mean Mark Green. “Looks like you ain’t Outlaw material,” Green spoke concisely to the near unconscious form of Blackheart Jones. Floyd Bowman blew his nose on Jones and kicked him hard in the ribs before stepping over him to take the microphone from Green. “So this pig-****er ain’t in. But what about you Johnny Boy? We offered you a ****in’ spot and gave you a ***-damned month to ****in’ decide. What’s your ****in’ decision Johnny?” Tucker took the microphone, his eyes still blazing from the earlier loss to the Reyes’. “I lost my tag team titles today. And what I decide right now may cost me one of my best friends. So you want my answer?” Green nodded and Bowman seemed even more on edge than normal. “My answer is hell yes. I’ll be a Texas Outlaw! Anything to get those belts back around my waist!” The crowd cheered the decision even as Mark ‘The Lariat’ Krogan came out of the dressing room and took one look at Johnny Boy before shaking his head in disgust and returning backstage.

Stennick: 4/6. When I first planned this event, you would have had a 6/6. But certain...situations...forced me to rewrite the first and last matches.

 

MichiganHero: 3/6. Just like Stennick, but with Painted Paranoia going over. I like Rampage and Machete, but the Deacon/TPK pairing has some life left in it first.

 

1PWfan: I LOVED your Bowman quote. Can't believe I didn't think of that myself! (I do find myself thinking in Bowman-speak sometimes. So far I haven't asked my wife what the **** she's ****in' makin' for ****in' dinner...so far...) Oh, and 3/6.

 

Bolt: 4/6. Your reasoning was great. And like I said, certain events forced a hasty change in plans...

 

Toeachtheirown: Thanks for predicting! First time, right? 3/6.

 

Falling_Star: 4/6. Your reasoning for the title change was spot-on. Nice work!

[Boltinho]

Nice show sir

 

Without wishing to be too gushing this is one of the most conistently enjoyabl diaries on the boards.

 

Im guessing someone came in for Blackheart earlier than you thought? No matter - it just means a proper push for Nero to the top of the card!

March 1978

 

I stood patiently outside the door to the office of The Lone Star Stampeder, picking idly at my fingernails. "You what?" I heard Stampy's voice shoot up two octaves. "You're leaving now?" The response was muffled. "Get the hell out. Right now!" Stampy's voice boomed. The office door opened and Samuel Stravagelli shuffled out, hanging his head in shame. "Nice to have met you Mr. Barrowman. When Stampy calms down, tell him I'm sorry. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse..." his voice drifted away but he still refused to meet my eyes. "Whaddya want Billy?" Stampy sneered. "Got more bad news for me?" "Ummm..." I gulped. "No sir. You wanted to see me..." "Oh, yeah, right. Sorry kid, its been a bad day. First a retirement and then, well, I guess you heard that Stravagelli's heading to SWF too. I hope he and Rip both burn in hell." He motioned toward the door. "Come on in," he began, "Billy, have you ever thought about helpin' to book..." he pulled me into his office and shut the door tightly behind him.

 

OOC: Bolt, you hit the nail on the head! As if I needed another reason to hate SWF...

That's what's always driven me away from the '77 mod- the SWF are absolute pigs when it comes to stealing all the talent, and you're left with virtually nobody who's interesting. At least the TWL can usually keep hold of Prof Nero and the Outlaws.

Oh, there are plenty of interesting guys still left, at least in my opinion, after the SWF begins their raid. The problem is that many of the interesting leftovers are talentless, over-the-hill, or so green that it will be years until they can put on decent matches!

On the heels of a Texas Outlaw-style beatdown on Blackheart Jones (and his subsequent departure from the company), TWL proudly presents an exciting night Deep in the Heart of Texas. The announced card is as follows:

 

Crimson Serpent Cult v. The Sadistic Duo (Professor Nero/TimberWolf)

Another battle in the on-going war between Chief Two Eagles' Nation and Professor Nero's Disciples of Evilness. Will the tag team specialists finally prevail against Nero and his canine protege or will the Sadistic Duo prove victorious?

 

Texas Streetfight: 'American Made' Johnny Boy Tucker v. Don Juan Reyes w/Shannon

This feud has reached a boiling point and Tucker has asked for a Texas Streetfight. Will 'American Made' be able to overcome the slick combo of Don Juan and Johnny Boy's ex Shannon?

 

No Holds Barred: Trailer Park Kid/'Perfect' Pat Deacon v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

In a straight-up tag team match, Deacon and Trailer Park Kid prevailed. Will the odds swing in favor of the demented Rampage and Machete in a more hardcore environment?

 

Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman v. Luis Reyes

There is bad blood between the Texas Outlaws and the Border Runners. Will the talented Luis Reyes continue to climb up the card or will F-Bomb send him the **** back down to the midcard?

 

Non-Title: Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan v. 'New School' Jason Jackson

After months of tormenting Krogan, Jason Jackson finally gets his shot against the Lariat. Can California's finest overcome the Southern Legend?

 

Quick Picks:

Crimson Serpent Cult v. The Sadistic Duo (Professor Nero/TimberWolf)

Texas Streetfight: 'American Made' Johnny Boy Tucker v. Don Juan Reyes w/Shannon

No Holds Barred: Trailer Park Kid/'Perfect' Pat Deacon v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman v. Luis Reyes

Non-Title: Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan v. 'New School' Jason Jackson

[Boltinho]

Crimson Serpent Cult v. The Sadistic Duo (Professor Nero/TimberWolf)

Serpents need a win. 'Wolf tends to get whipped in these situations

 

Texas Streetfight: 'American Made' Johnny Boy Tucker v. Don Juan Reyes w/Shannon

JB seals his new, meaner image with a shocking use of a weapon (brass knuckles?). Shannon has to get a slap some time soon too...

 

No Holds Barred: Trailer Park Kid/'Perfect' Pat Deacon v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

In a NHB match? The masked monsters come ALIVE

 

Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman v. Luis Reyes

What the **** does Luis ****-****Reyes think is going to ***-ing happen?

 

Non-Title: Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan v. 'New School' Jason Jackson

Californian nightmare

[Stennick]

I knew Strong was leaving when you had Bowman blow his nose on him lol. That just REAKED of a Vince McMahon thing to do Great show though and I think Tucker/Krogan is the best story going.

 

 

Crimson Serpent Cult v. The Sadistic Duo (Professor Nero/TimberWolf) - Going with the "real" team here.

 

Texas Streetfight: 'American Made' Johnny Boy Tucker v. Don Juan Reyes w/Shannon - I just don't ever vote for the Reyes clan even when I know I should.

 

No Holds Barred: Trailer Park Kid/'Perfect' Pat Deacon v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

They lost the last match up their not losing two in a row.

 

Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman v. Luis Reyes

Again I don't vote for guys with the last name Reyes in TWL even when I should ha ha

 

Non-Title: Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan v. 'New School' Jason Jackson

Call it a hunch

[Beeker]

A confession.

I didn't like this dynasty at the start. It was Stennick's California Dreaming that made me reread about Texas. I'm glad I did. It's a lot of fun. It actually works in conjunction with Stennick to really make both dynasties pop. It's a rare occurrence and one I've enjoyed.

 

Enough of my rambling, time for some of my assuredly shoddy predictioning!

 

***

 

Crimson Serpent Cult v. The Sadistic Duo (Professor Nero/TimberWolf)

- I'm guessing this is Cobra and Viper. Who Nero has defeated solo, easily. As a lethal 2 headed snake though, they should be able to overcome the pet wolf while Nero plays a fiddle.

 

Texas Streetfight: 'American Made' Johnny Boy Tucker v. Don Juan Reyes w/Shannon

- If this were a Mexican Street fight, AMJBT (that rolls off the tongue) would have a chance. But since 'they ain't got no mutha f***in streets in that s***hole of a country!' Go away F-Bomb! I'm going to pick the Texan Outlaw Tucker.

 

No Holds Barred: Trailer Park Kid/'Perfect' Pat Deacon v. Painted Paranoia (Machete/Rampage)

- A coin flip of a match. For the face painted freaks to look legitimate I think they beat up the pretty boy... and the kid.

 

Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman v. Luis Reyes

- Luis is too good to lose the F-Bomb. "Like **** he is!" Quiet Bowman! And when F-Bomb loses, the fans win as he gets to spout profanity.

 

Non-Title: Mark 'The Lariat' Krogan v. 'New School' Jason Jackson

- Even non-title the Lariat shouldn't be losing to that West Coast Diva Jackson. I think this will be by DQ when New School brings in some extra 'students' to beat up the old old olde school Krogan.
