Guest Booker: The Phoenix Also Rises: Phil Vibert and PWC

A vignette rolls; we are outside on a street corner in an obviously dangerous part of the city. The dark haired punk from last week’s vignette leans against a storefront, hassling people as they come out before noticing the camera and hopping over a bench to address it.

 

 

JC: “I hate PWC.”

 

 

A person spots him and crosses the street rather than walk by.

 

 

JC: “I’ve watched it some; last week and the week before.”

 

 

He sneers.

 

 

JC: “It sucks. And if you watch it, you’re a mark.”

 

 

JC: “Do you even know what it means, to call you a mark?”

 

 

JC: “It means you’re one of the most gullible fans around and that the business owns you; owns your mind”

 

 

A few of his friends walk up. They bash their forearms against each other; it’s some form of greeting it would seem.

 

 

JC: “No one owns me.”

 

 

He grabs his studded leather jacket from near the store as they all begin to walk away.

 

 

JC: “My mind is my own.”

Eric Tyler sits in his living room, watching the latest PWC TV.

 

 

JC: “Do you even know what it means, to call you a mark?”

 

 

JC: “It means you’re one of the most gullible fans around and that the business owns you; owns your mind”

 

Eric Tyler suddenly stands straight up and clutches at his chest

 

ET: NNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

 

Tyler collapses to the ground in stark, steering pain. He begins foaming at he mouth before quietly yelling to himself

 

ET: Must...shoot...run...in!

Good stuff, Celt.

 

 

I've taken the liberty of commissioning a medical life alert bracelet for Eric Tyler with some PWC funds. Hopefully, if this happens again, he won't have to wait to be found until the minibar guy comes in the morning.

With this momentum, I predict a PPV buy-rate increase of a full point.

 

I was psyched to see the straight B rated show, too. The main event was one of the highest rated I've ever had in this save game and all of the promos graded out really highly, too. I think that speaks of the time spent bleeding overness from people that can replenish themselves (Vibert and Strong in particular) and giving it to others (Peter Valentine, T-Rex, and Nicky Champion) who then spread it to even more folks.

 

I'll be posting the PPV preview in the morning. The show itself is about 3/4 done so it'll be a pretty quick turnaround. I think it's the best show since the Team Vibert vs. Team USPW PPV; or at least better than last night's Wrestlemania. ;)

 

And thanks to those who voted for Guest Booker in this month's DOTM. I always appreciate the support.

I have to say, I'm hugely impressed with the way you've managed to get the ratings up - both critical and TV. It really speaks to your way of playing that you've not really brought any key new figures in - just Law, I think, is new in the main event.

 

Speaking for myself, I can bleed downwards easily enough, but making new overness up top is a bit of a problem. Might have to start jobbing out some midcarders for the easy A's...

Thanks for the compliment, JC. Glad to see you're still onboard.

 

And I totally understand where you're coming from about the upper end overness. I think for me, the luckiest part has been Sam Strong's influence on everything. I think if you trace it back, his overness is how everyone that's up at the B+/A level got where they are. Somehow, as I think I've said before, no matter what happens, he doesn't seem to be able to fall below the B+ mark, even when I was doing the stuff early on with Nicky Champion, whose overness could've easily dragged him down some. The same for the amount of segments he did with the not so very over Alicia and his entire feud with Peter Valentine, who is terrible in every way. The only good things about him are his overness and JHD's alt renders.

 

I'm still on the road, away from my homebase, so the PPV preview is going to be delayed until tomorrow. However, the more I think about it, the more I think I might forgo the preview and predictions entirely and just get to the show.

Insane Machine vs. Lee Rivera vs. Remmy Skye

 

 

Result: This match is nearly a blur with the speed of all three men involved and is chock full of spots even though it is just a shade longer than five minutes.

 

 

Remmy Skye, working on his own after his EXCESS tag team partner Matt Hocking was injured in their match against the MLE, lands a suicide dive to the floor that sends both Rivera and Machine sprawling at the base of the ramp and gives him a chance to set-up a monstrous ladder.

 

 

SD: “And this is on the free show!”

 

 

Shenanigans ensue and everything culminates a few minutes later when Skye uses a closed ladder against the ring ropes to slingshot himself over everything and come crashing down with a huge frog splash on his longtime indy rival, Insane Machine, getting the three count seconds later .

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Love the opportunity to have a best-of-the-indies match without worrying about needing to commit TV time to build it up. It stands alone well, I’d imagine.

 

 

Remmy Skye wins via pinfall @ 5:24

Eric Tyler follows Remmy Skye into the back after his match as he meets Sara Silver in the door of their locker room. He shouts obscenities at them before Skye turns around and sprints toward Tyler, tackling him in the doorway of the catering area and raining a torrent of punches down upon him.

 

 

Security is on them in a flash, pulling Skye off of Tyler and keeping them well apart before getting them both going in their respective directions away from each other.

 

 

SD: “I don’t think that Remmy Skye has taken too kindly to the things Eric Tyler as said about Sara Silver of late.”

 

 

MS: “Would you? He’s essentially been calling her a whore for two weeks straight.”

Waldorf & Statler vs. American Optimus/Roger Cage

 

 

Result: Waldorf & Statler are accompanied to the ring by a familiar face, longtime SWF manager The Guru, and his presence quickly pays dividends. With Cage and AO slowly beginning to put their timing together and flying around the ring at speed’s the tandem from NY have never seen, Guru reaches under the bottom rope and yanks Optimus’ feet out from under him, stopping their momentum. Statler quickly snatches him up and throws him on his shoulder, getting a three step running start before spiking him into the mat with a powerslam that nets his team the win.

 

 

SD: “An impressive win for Waldorf and Statler, you guys.”

 

 

MS: “Actually, it was a better debut for The Guru. He made the difference for them.”

 

 

ER: “I’d like to say it was good to see him, but it’s not. I hoped he’d been deported.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: The online pre-show is also a spot for me to audition some folks for roles on the roster and the casting call has officially gone out for a jobber/lower tier team to start immediately. I’ll be anxious to see the match grade and the dirt sheet.

 

 

Waldorf & Statler win via pinfall @ 3:43

The cameras shoot outside to the sound of air brakes. What pulls up is a sight to behold. It is a hundred foot red-white-and-blue monstrosity of a tour bus, painted up with both the old HGC logo on one side and a profile shot of Liberty on the other.

 

 

SD: “My god, is that what I think it is? The Liberty Crusier?”

 

 

MS: “From the All-American tour of 1994?”

 

 

SD: “I think it was ‘96.”

 

When the door opens up, James Justice walks down the steps looking like he did back in the day and launches right into the gimmick when Tommy Townsend runs up and sticks a microphone in his face.

 

 

JJ: “You’re just in time, man.”

 

 

He pats Tommy on the back.

 

 

JJ: “The dude was just about to twist one up….”

 

 

Tommy looks perplexed for a second.

 

 

JJ: “But before I do, I’m bringing the Cruiser……and the millions of bro’s, the great American fans I met on my weeks long tour around this great country’s heartland…..”

 

 

He pulls off his bandana and looks to be on the verge of tears. But quickly he snaps out of it, staring intensely at the camera, his purple sunglasses reflecting.

 

 

JJ: “On behalf of all of them…… tonight, December 26th, 1996……”

 

 

Tommy just looks at him.

 

 

JJ: “I’m taking that HGC title from you BLZ BUBB…….”

 

 

He throws up double peace signs as fans pour in from all sides.

 

 

JJ: “……and the dude is through giving peace a chance, man. Winner takes all tonight.”

 

 

Justice goes about signing autographs and glad-handing all the fans as they fill in even more. Tommy moves out of their way and just shrugs at the camera. Shawn Doakes and company fill in the last few seconds before the PPV open begins.

 

 

SD: “Are my eyes deceiving me? What year is it?”

 

 

ER: “I told you he was crazy! Didn’t I? Didn’t I?”

 

 

MS: “I have no words…..”

Eddie Peak vs. Chris Caulfield

-Final Battle Scaffold Match-

 

 

Result: Opening the show with this match has cast a certain buzz over the crowd, which is at max capacity. And as we fire off the pyro, a plethora of flashing spotlights begin framing the scaffold, which dangles from the ceiling with a series of chains and cables.

 

 

ER: “I was up walking on those things earlier tonight, shooting a spot for PWC.com, and I can tell you guys, it’s terrifying up there. It’s so high up, everything looks so small…….”

 

 

A camera mounted just above the point where the “x” shaped scaffolding meets in the middle a looks down onto the action and the fans below.

 

 

ER: “Except for your head, Doakes. I bet you could see that giant bastard from the moon.”

 

 

MS: “Sorry bro, but don’t look to me on that one. She’s speaking the truth. You have the biggest head I’ve ever seen in person.”

 

 

There is no shortage of nail biting action either as, after the men are introduced and they both scale the structure, it is a straight up streetfight mentality. But things are so tense every time one of them wobbles a bit too much after a punch that it makes for great theater.

 

 

As things start ratcheting up and begin heading for a conclusion, Eddie Peak pulls a fork from the pocket of his military style cargo pants and goes to work on Caulfield, drilling it into he veteran’s hide over and over again, trying to get him to “escape” the pain by letting himself fall over the edge.

 

 

SD: “This is a guy who has super glued his own wounds shut rather than go to the ER, Mickey. He’s not going to be scared off by a little bit of his own blood.”

 

 

Suddenly there is a flash of light.

 

 

MS: “What was that? Was that a bolt of lightening?”

 

 

Another flash. It is lightening and strikes a spot on the floor behind the ring.

 

 

SD: “And look……what’s that rising amongst the smoke?”

 

 

MS: “It’s that casket that keeps popping up everywhere these two guys go, Doakes.”

 

 

ER: “This is about to get interesting.”

 

 

MS: “Interesting? It’s terrifying!”

 

 

When the smoke clears, the flat black casket has risen to just about the same level as the ring. Both Peak and Caulfield just stare down at it, seemingly frozen in mid brawl, Caulfield just barely squirreling his way back onto the ledge he’s on.

 

 

It proves to be just a distraction; all of a sudden he is right behind them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He is densely muscled. Shirtless, tattooed, and wearing flared bottom black pants, the easily six foot seven freak wears a most twisted look on his wildly painted face.

 

 

Caulfield is the first to his feet on the shaking but stable plank walk that the mysterious thing stands on. Peak remains frozen in time. And when the hardcore icon goes to throw a punch at him, it is caught, Caulfield’s arm getting twisted in such a way that it drops him onto his knees before the monster uses the leverage to push him off, sending Caulfield falling down to the ring below.

 

 

SD: “GOOD GOD! A HUMAN BEING CAN’T SURVIVE A FALL LIKE THAT!”

 

 

But it is not over.

 

 

The monster takes a step toward Eddie Peak before stopping and smiling. Peak’s white-blue eyes stay focused on the man who just tossed Caulfield, but he doesn’t move a muscle as the face painted beast pulls a smallish bottle out of his pocket and begins squirting it all over the lush maroon interior of the casket below.

 

 

“WE WANT FIRE! WE WANT FIRE! WE WANT FIRE!”

 

 

The New York crowd knows exactly what is happening and becomes immediately insatiable when he flicks a match and lets it drop, sending the casket into blazing orbit. The monster seems possessed by them and their intoxicating energies; he tips his head back and sticks out his tongue before extending his arm, turning it from a thumbs up to a thumbs down, causing Peak to finally blink.

 

 

He blinks once more before straightening up and slowly letting himself fall backward off the scaffold and into the fire below, the impact triggering a small pyro explosion.

 

 

SD: “I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED! HE LET HIMSELF FALL! MY GOD HE LET HIMSELF FALL!”

 

 

The bell rings wildly as the cameras focus upward, staying put on the grinning madman whose name no one knows.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: A great envelope pusher here. I’m glad I booked it like this, as it’s going to push the limits of what is acceptable to the staunch USPW fan. Hopefully, this will pull along the stragglers from the flock; I think it was a good choice.

 

 

Eddie Peak wins via stipulation @ 11:41

 

 

 

 

 

********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sam Strong is backstage with Nicky Champion as the youngster fumes about the way Enygma treated him at the end of the last PWC TV.

 

 

NC: “I don’t know what Enygma’s problem is, Sam.”

 

 

Sam nods.

 

 

NC: “I came out to give him a hand? And he put had the nerve to just drop me with that baton?”

 

 

Sam keeps nodding as Nicky gets more and more fired up thinking it.

 

 

NC: “I’m going to go find him and see what he’s got to say for himself; I don’t care if I have to go up onto the ‘Tron to root him out.”

 

 

Sam slaps him on the back, revving him up even more before Champion storms out looking for Enygma.

 

 

 

 

 

Charlie Thatcher pushes the door of the locker room open and stands there, casting an imposing shadow.

 

 

CT: “Shouldn’t have interfered in my match with your boy last week, legend.”

 

 

Thatcher grins.

 

 

CT: “Mr. Vibert runs a tight ship and rules this place with an iron fist.”

 

 

Sam sighs and turns toward his own locker, shaking his head, and pulls out a small duffle bag.

 

 

CT: “Nope, no need to get into your gear or anything, old man. That way you won’t have to change again before you go to the hospital.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

T-Rex vs. Sam Strong

-Vibert’s Challenge Match-

 

 

Result: Nothing to see here, fans, as this one goes off exactly like you might have expected. Sam is tentative and Rex is a monster. These two things do not mix. It is over after a limited trade of punches back and forth that Rex wins, sidestepping Strong’s off balance haymaker and locking him in the “Jurassic Crush” before Strong even has a chance to power up.

 

 

SD: “This is hard to watch, you guys.”

 

 

ER: “Strong helped Nicky Champion beat Thatcher last week; this is his punishment. Don’t cross the office; how many times do I have to say it.”

 

 

Baby Jamie raises Strong’s arm and drops it in sequence three times before calling for the bell.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Can’t complain about the overness trade that this is going to lead to. I’ll save my complaints for when I see the match grade. It might not be pretty.

Peter Valentine/Jumbo Jackson/Casey Valentine vs. Aaron Andrews

 

 

Result: Aaron Andrews pushes Valentine’s group to the limit, somehow wearing out both Casey Valentine and the even heartier Jumbo Jackson and polishing both off with his vaunted piledriver.

 

 

But trying to outlast Peter Valentine, after wrestling what equates to two separate matches becomes a very tall task. Peter is not above cutting any corner and goes through the heel’s dictionary liberally, slowing the already worn down Andrews with a host of pokes, gouges, and stomps.

 

 

SD: “That’s the best he’s got? He could never actually out-wrestle Andrews could he? God forbid he tries.”

 

 

ER: “Does he have to? Andrews is on his back and not looking long for this world as we speak.”

 

 

Just when all looks lost for Andrews, the youngster begins to rally. But Valentine still has the recovering Jumbo and Casey rooting him on from the floor, and they have access to his ever present equalizer: the silver knobbed cane. They wait for the perfect opportunity, and when Ryan Holland turns to kick Jumbo off of the apron, a quick lob of the implement puts it into Peter’s hands. But in an interesting turn of events, Andrews rips it out of his hands and raises it above his head, looking to level Valentine with his own weapon. But, as luck would have it, Holland turns around just in time to see him swing it at the millionaire heel, and he calls for the bell instantly, ending the match.

 

 

The shot barely grazes Valentine, who smirks while holding his head as Holland explains the decision to Andrews. And when neither of them is looking, with the decision already rendered, Valentine sneaks up, snatches the cane, and drills Andrews upside the head with it, laying him out.

 

 

SD: “Absolutely disgusting, you guys. Peter Valentine is a snake.”

 

 

ER: “A multi-millionaire snake with another big win under his belt, Doakes. Show a little bit of impartiality.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: I’ve enjoyed this feud and see maybe one more match between the two at some point in the coming weeks. And it has more than served its purpose, as I’m sure the increased recognition of being in the ring with someone as over as Peter Valentine will help Andrews, even in defeat.

 

 

Peter Valentine wins via DQ @ 8:33

A very straight forward video rolls, going through the highlights of the World Tag Team Title Tournament, chronicling the roads of both of the teams in tonight’s final. Thatcher and Law have moved through to this match with a run of dominance, not finding a single team that could match their power. The Maple Leaf Express however, is in the final after winning what many consider to be a series of upsets over some quality tandems.

Maple Leaf Express vs. Rick Law/Charlie Thatcher

-World Tag Team Tournament Finals-

 

 

Result: The final match of the tag team tournament has a distinctly serious tone as the ring announcer introduces both squads. And the brand new PWC World Tag Team Titles sit in a lit glass case on the stage, forcing both Law and Thatcher and the Maple Leaf Express to pass it on their way to the ring. Both teams look down at the belts confidently before turning their eyes to the squared circle.

 

 

It is quite an intense match that the DeColt brothers start out strong, with Alex and Ricky working seamlessly in and out and wearing down Charlie Thatcher. Alex’s vicious over the knee backbreaker that bends Thatcher’s body gruesomely looks like it might propel them to the early win but only nets them a two count.

 

 

Ricky follows up with a top turnbuckle flying elbow and gets huge air before attempting to cover Thatcher himself; it is a good move by DeColt, but Law is just too aware and he makes the save at two and a half, stomping Ricky on the back of the head and turning the momentum the other way.

 

 

Thatcher makes the tag and Law goes to work, burying both DeColts with his power based offense, leading into the attack with two huge running shoulderblocks.

 

 

And after a pair of monstrous “LAotL’s” Alex gets knocked to the floor and Ricky is out on his feet. But instead of going for the pin, Law looks very devious and leans in, whispering something to his now recovered partner on the apron.

 

 

Now down on one knee, Ricky DeColt is turned away from the referee as Law deftly pulls his belt off and hooks it around Ricky’s neck. All the while, Baby Jaime tries to get Thatcher out of the ring; obviously his part in the plan. Precious seconds elapse as the youngest DeColt is strangled, falling to one knee.

 

 

The front row fans are all over him, yelling obscenities and tossing trash. But it doesn’t matter, as Ricky slowly fades into a blackout. Law releases the belt and tosses it to the floor just as Jamie finally gets Thatcher back onto the apron to stay.

 

 

SD: “This is not right! This is for the World Tag Team Titles! How shameful!”

 

 

Three slaps of the mat later, it is official. Law and Thatcher quickly bail out of the ring, walking backward back up the ramp with their arms raised until the get to the case that’s holding the brand new tag title straps.

 

 

SD: “And they’re going to get to wear those belts whether we like it or not, you guys.”

 

 

ER: “What are you talking about, Doakes, I love it! More gold in the control of the front office!”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: I expected this match to cement Law and Thatcher as a unit in the fan’s minds as well as making sure they were still the hated heels, as sometimes badass power tag teams get over with the fans just for being badasses. Also, Alex and Ricky were only on talent trade, so their time here is up. So….you know, they couldn’t win. They did provide a great underdog story though, maybe about as pure as you can get in the modern era because no one knew whether they had signed and were getting pushed to the top right out of the gate or whether they were on trade and could lose to anyone at any time.

Jay Fair catches up with Baby Jamie backstage as the young official makes his way back to his locker room and tells him he needs to get a look at a replay of the finish of the World Tag Team Title match.

 

 

JF: “Law pulled his belt off and choked that kid out, Jamie. It was plain as day.”

 

 

Fair sighs before putting his hand on the obviously dejected referee’s shoulder. His face is hardened and so is his voice.

 

 

JF: “I’m tired of all of this; the lawlessness around here.”

 

 

He straightens his striped referee shirt and brushes of lapel coolly.

 

 

JF: “I’m going to get tough on the wrestlers of PWC from here on out……whether they’re affiliated with Phil Vibert or not.”

 

 

He pats Jamie on the shoulder again before heading toward the ring. Just around the corner, where no one can see him but the camera’s eye, the “Hardcore Ref” Ryan Holland stands with his hands in his pockets, having listened to Fair’s whole rant.

Nicky Champion finds Enygma squatting in the rafters and they brawl their way around the building until Phil Vibert pops up on the video board and orders them to the ring.

 

 

Enygma is crouching on some back part of the huge XxX set, watching the show, when Nicky Champion, riled up to ten, finally spots him. Enygma doesn’t see him coming and gets blown off of his feet by a huge running boot. Nicky grabs him by his close cropped dyed hair and runs him off the ledge and down a short few steps on his face.

 

 

The action vanishes for a second before they appear again, with Champion leading the now bleeding Enygma out onto the stage. As Enygma blocks an overhand right from Champion and lands a pair of his own, staggering the young bull……

 

 

 

 

 

……Phil Vibert pops up on the video board. He is backstage, popping open a few cans of beer with the new World Tag Team Champions, Rick Law and Charlie Thatcher. He looks to be in a jovial mood.

 

 

PV: “Since I feel like being entertained…….”

 

 

He smiles.

 

 

PV: “Get me a referee. Let’s get these guys to the ring!”

Nicky Champion vs. Enygma

 

 

Result: The fans still have not come down from the World Tag Team Title match and Nicky and Enygma ratchet it up yet another notch. They play this one close; everything is as stiff as it comes and there are only a few spots in the early going that stray from the punches and kicks playbook. They battle all the way down the ramp and onto the floor and, after a quick foray into the crowd before Ryan Holland runs down the ramp and slides into the ring, they finally dump the action into the ring.

 

 

The battle is fierce.

 

 

SD: “I don’t quite get it, what’s happened between these two to get it to this point so quickly….”

 

 

MS: “But what a fight, Doakes!”

 

 

The pivotal point comes when the action works its way back onto the edge of the ring. Enygma gets out of Nicky’s grasp and backs up a few feet, charging Champion, who is standing on the apron and coming in strong with a running lariat.

 

 

Nicky ducks his shoulder and nearly flips the mysterious one to the floor. But Enygma somehow grabs hold of Champion on his way down and reverses the whole thing into a wicked power bomb that splatters Sam Strong’s protégé onto the exposed concrete.

 

 

Enygma quickly gets the noodle legged Champion back into the ring and hooks him in the “Enygma Variation”. But as Holland looms over him, Nicky squirms and yells out, but he does not tap. He finally gets to the ring ropes and the crowd swells behind him.

 

 

Enygma begins unloading on the youngster, letting the punches and kicks fly from all angles.

 

 

But Champion rises, standing in his face, puffing his cheeks and powering up, absorbing every single shot and inviting more.

 

 

The crowd loves it, eating it up.

 

 

“This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome!”

 

 

But Nicky’s comeback is done. In seconds he gets sucked under the torrent of blows; he cannot even bring his hands up to block the punches as they come in.

 

 

SD: “This could be over at any second.”

 

 

MS: “And look at the violent side of Enygma come out! He hasn’t been right since that last match with Baine! Something’s changed with him!”

 

 

When Nicky finally drops this time, Enygma doesn’t waste any time, grabbing hold of his ankle again and twisting it both ways violently until Ryan Holland calls for the bell, saving the nearly unconscious Champion permanent damage.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Everything happens for a reason. I’m hopeful that this doesn’t affect Nicky’s momentum too much. But he’ll see plenty of action going forward regardless. Enygma’s newfound ‘focus’ was really what I wanted to get over with this match. He is so over, there’s no way I can keep him too far away from the main event.

 

 

Enygma wins via submission/stoppage @ 13:55

Belle Bryden and Raven Robinson are backstage, fulfilling some of their last contractual agreements with the company by appearing on Tommy Townsend’s live podcast. As they answer some questions, dressed in street clothes but looking super hot……..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

……Scott “Smack” Sinclair struts up and plops himself into the open seat beside Tommy.

 

 

Scott Sinclair: “Wait, hold on, didn't see you down there, baby.”

 

 

He slides the chair over next to Bryden and Raven.

 

 

SS: “Someone must have called the Big Smack and ordered me a little room service, Tommy. Talking about two very fine ladies walking up; I might have to listen to this. Sit down sweet-cheeks, let's talk a little business.”

 

 

Bryden can’t believe she is looking at the man who has as many names as the devil; the most widely formerly known as Big Smack Scott.

 

 

SS: “I know you heard talk about the ladies leaving the PWC. Let me say that whoever said that probably just wanted to see if you're really a chick. How I see it is this: The Big Smack is in PWC. Therefore, and I'm educated at Harvard, Yale, and Oxtown universities, so this is fact, where the Big Smack goes, he's going to be followed by plenty of fine, fine ladies. And guess what? It looks like the front of the line backed up into my office. So how about I give you my number, come back to the hotel room, and we discuss a little one-on-one freakshow for your job?”

 

 

Bryden throws up her hands and motions for Raven to follow as she storms off.

 

 

SS: “Just remember that the Big Smack Hotel is always open; just give a little knock-knock. I'm always willing to negotiate a deal that benefits the Smack Daddy.”

One last promo video rolls, this time hyping the main event. It goes over the battles between James Justice and Nicky Champion that gained Justice the opportunity at Tyson Baine’s World Title. It then chronicles the uber-weird behavior he has been exhibiting of late before blowing through a mish-mash of highlights from Baine’s months long title reign. It ends with a replay of Baine “Hades Bomb”-ing Justice off of the stage, the move that led to Justice’s long layoff and Shawn Doakes’ screaming emphatic call.

 

 

SD: “My god, James Justice might never be the same!”

Tyson Baine vs. James Justice

-PWC World Heavyweight Title Match-

 

 

Result: The response from the capacity crowd when Tyson Baine is introduced is expected; it’s the jeer-filled one he always receives. But James Justice, coming out onto the stage in a very familiar PPV outfit from fifteen years ago, complete with tie-dyed tassels and light-up rainbow suspenders, gets a totally mixed bag.

 

 

SD: “And you know something, guys, I’d tend to agree with the fans in this case. I have no idea what to make of James Justice and the way he’s acted since his return to the ring.”

 

 

MS: “I’m with you Doakes; I’ve got a lot of unanswered questions about him.”

 

 

ER: “I don’t. He’s crazy, end of story. You heard it here first.”

 

 

SD: “You know, you might be right. What was that earlier with the bus? He doesn’t even know what year it is.”

 

 

This is a straight up old school wrasslin’ brawl between two very seasoned combatants; it progresses exactly as you might expect with the level of their performances matching the magnitude of the situation.

 

 

Everything turns in the favor of Tyson Baine when he buries the looking-to-dance babyface Justice in the corner with a running splash and then disgustingly rakes him across the face with the laces of his boot.

 

 

Justice is still flashing the peace sign a second or two later when Baine whips him into the ropes and drives him into the mat, getting monster rotation on a powerslam that nets him a 2 and 2/3 count from head referee Jay Fair.

 

 

Baine looks to be on the road to “Hades Bomb”-ing Justice sooner rather than later, dropping him with a running boot before he begins stalking around the ringside area, looking for something, giving Justice some critical time to pull himself together.

 

 

SD: “I’ll bet he’s looking for that chain, but he can’t seem to find it.”

 

 

MS: “Well, you know he brought it out here. It’s here somewhere.”

 

 

When Baine returns to the ring, Justice mounts his rally, hitting three discus punches in a row, his tassels spinning and making him look like a multi-colored tornado.

 

 

SD: “And you can hear the impact of those shots as they land!”

 

 

Justice rushes the staggering World Champion and drives him into the turnbuckles, sitting him on the top turnbuckle and, after a pair of punches straight to the jaw, climbs up and hooks him for a superplex.

 

 

But as they jockey for position…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phil Vibert comes running down the ramp, ditching a beer can from his celebration with Law and Thatcher as he does so, his dark eyes fixed on the timekeeper’s table. When he gets there, he leans behind it and emerges with Baine’s long length of chain.

 

 

SD: “There it is. Vibert’s found the chain and he’s only a few feet away from Baine.”

 

 

The owner of PWC gets up onto the apron and tries to hand the chain to Baine, but he is intercepted by Jay Fair who grabs hold of it and nearly pulls it out of his hands.

 

 

They struggle. Fair yells out at Vibert. Vibert yells back. They argue and pull, argue and pull.

 

 

Baine gouges Justice’s eyes and shoves him backward off of the top turnbuckle and stands up, showing surprising agility when he jumps off and drops a leg across Justice’s chest.

 

 

Jay Fair finally wins the chain from Vibert but turns backward into Baine who grabs it and tries to turn back toward Justice. But Fair doesn’t let go, holding onto one end and engaging in a momentary tug-of-war with the monstrous world champion.

 

 

When Fair won’t relent and hangs on even when Baine reels him all the way in, staring down at him with his eyes wide and sweat dripping from his brow, the big man just grabs Fair by the throat and shoves him across the ring.

 

 

There is a second of weird silence as Baine wraps the chain around his fist and turns toward the cobwebbed and down on one knee Justice. It turns into a huge roar when Jay Fair pops up, holding his head, waving his other arm, calling for the bell.

 

 

SD: “I think he’s disqualified Baine!”

 

 

ER: “He doesn’t have the nerve.”

 

 

He does, apparently. The bell rings like crazy as Baine seethes looking equal parts stunned and deranged, still wrapping the length of chain around his fist. Fair helps the trying to groove but punch drunk Justice to the floor before marching back up the ramp, Phil Vibert a few steps behind him, yelling to the veteran official to no avail as he moves a bit faster, trying to leave him behind.

 

 

Baine rages, swinging some of the chain over his head and generally just freaking out, kicking at the turnbuckles before tearing the stuffing out of a couple of them as the logo rolls across the bottom of the screen.

 

 

SD: “Jay Fair has taken a stand and it cost Tyson Baine the match.”

 

 

MS: “And may God have mercy on his soul.”

 

 

ER: “Actually, he’d better hope Phil Vibert and Tyson Baine have mercy on his soul. Or there won’t be anything left for God to have to deal with.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Up until this point, there hasn’t even been a knick in the tree trunk of Tyson Baine’s dominance. Tonight, James Justice took the first swing of the proverbial axe but it wasn’t enough. His story will be fine to tell with or without the World Title and Baine being so dominant isn’t something I want to waste. I loved the way that the Jay Fair story built its way up until it made sense to me to use it in this match, which being a pay-per-view main event, is a pretty big deal.

 

 

James Justice wins via DQ @ 14:22

Er, you're worried about Scott? This is the dynasty that employs Peter Valentine as one of its top heels. And, might I add, makes him awesome.

 

This is the dynasty that, until fairly recently, employed not one but two Hillbillies. (Are the Hillbillies still around?)

 

This is the dynasty that...

 

...well, I'm pretty sure this is the dynasty that got rid of Giant Redwood swiftly and quietly. But hey, there are limits to everything.

 

Scott has overness, charisma, star quality, and an established character. Granted, that character is "big dumb jerk who everyone hates", but hey, that's a character. Compared to Valentine, he might as well be Christian Faith.

I'm glad you're enjoying Peter Valentine. I'm glad that the chips fell the way they did with him getting really over from that feud with Sam Strong. He has it to give and give it he shall. I have no reservations about it.

 

 

To answer your question, The Hillbillies are still around, but I'm just waiting for them to expire in the next few weeks. Their contracts, not them, although I wouldn't send flowers, if you know what I mean. Sweet renders, but they're such terrible, terrible workers. How could Glenn and Spade develop dumping those two idiots on their sequined overalls for another year plus? Plus, adding Harry Allen and dumping them saves money and improves the roster in one move.

 

 

As you may expect, the Big Smack Scott signing is the focal point of the next Guest Booker segment, moreso even than the pay-per-view, so any and all questions about him will probably be answered there. I'll have XxX grades posted tonight and the GB segment sometime afterward. Maybe tomorrow?

Can't what for the debut of THE SMACKER on PWC TV; his interactions with any female should be HILIRIOUS (Huh!?)

 

I'm sure Vibert will say that while he'd never hire Scott in real life in a game context that he can manipulate he'd have to be insane not to hire him.

Great show NN. The Big Smack Daddy will fit PWC like a glove I'm sure.

 

I don't use a whole bunch of re-renders, but I think I've a fair idea of who crashed Peak/Caulfield in such spectacular fashion.

 

Loved the Justice segment with the The Liberty Crusier. I had a similar vision of him back in my old HGC days. Great minds and all that, except he didn't have a tour bus, it was an old VW van called 'The Funk Shuttle' and was pretty much fuelled by weed. :rolleyes:

 

And yeah, agree with your booking logic after Justice/Baine.

Great show, but i'm going to nitpick over one tiny tiny thing, and that is because that is what i do best ;)

 

“From the All-American tour of 1994?”

 

HGC didn't open until really really late 1996...

 

 

“On behalf of all of them…… tonight, December 26th, 1996……”

 

... and didn't crown their first champion until 1997...

 

“I’m taking that HGC title from you BLZ BUBB…….”

 

... where they crowned Sam Strong.

 

 

I smell a Justice versus Strong feud for the title!

 

 

(also, Jay Fair is like, your number one face for sure :p)

There's another line right after the All America Tour of 94 line, where it is corrected to 96. I checked to see when HGC opened to have an idea of when to say it was from, but I didn't check the HGC title lineage to stay completely true to the canon. Apologies, as I usually try to.

 

Although the Justice story coming up supports that mistake to some extent. ;)

 

Feel free to nitpick away though, Waghlon. I appreciate you paying such close attention. :)

Of course he would've had the bus. Can't you imagine him painting it, bit by bit, in his smoke filled garage over the course of a few months leading up to its unveiling?

 

 

And the clown guy looks like Leper Messiah because it is Leper Messiah. Nice work. He'll be filling everyone in on his PWC name, story motivations and that kind of stuff on the next PWC TV.

I found the fact that the picture was named Leper Messiah.jpg a give away :p

 

I'm a bit dissapointed by Leper Messiah, I guess its kind of like the Sting speculation in real life, the promo's lead to my expectations being higher than they should be.

 

Anyway, the show was great, and I'm rooting for you to make Leper Messiah a character I can take seriously.

Sorry to let you down with the casket payoff. If it could've been Vengeance or Steve Frehley, believe me, I would've made it so. But I think that with his skill set and the immediate insert into a hot storyline is going to get him over quickly and allow me to do almost anything I would have with the afforementioned.

 

 

I'm in love with the re-render, too, by the way.

 

 

Thanks for keeping up with things, 1234.

 

 

 

I'm rooting for his arm to fall off.

A funny story. Before moving on to my current job, I did play-by-play and color analysis on the radio on a university's flasghip station for both hockey and football for about eight years. One time this visiting goalie took a skateblade to the exposed part of his wrist and was immediately rushed off of the ice. While they cleaned up the obvious mess it made, he rememerged from the locker room a few minutes later and went back into the game. We got a report that said he had cut a good portion of the way into his wrist but that he couldn't damage it any further by playing. So, essentially, he taped it up and went back in.

 

The guy I was working with passed me a note that said essentially what you wrote about Leper Messiah while we were on the air. I thought it was going to get ripped off every time he made a glove save to that side.

 

:D

 

 

I dropped the Leper, by the way. He'll be going by Messiah in PWC.

Awesome show from start to finish NoNeck, really kept me entertained throughout. The scaffold match was just...just phenomenal, and the debut of Leper Messiah was pretty much the best part of the show. The psychotic act of him falling from the scaffold into the burning coffin played through my head whilst reading. One thing however, how would one pull this off in real life?

 

Anyway, next match, it was clear that T-Rex was going to win. The dude is a monster. Handicap match next, and one thing that I love about your dynasty is the character development. You've turned Peter Valentine from boring old ************ to kick-ass evil millionaire-esque ************. That's one big transition. The heelish way he acted with the eye-pokes and such really gave me a sense that the character is some sort of dirty player. Almost Ric Flair like. Loved the ending of the match, real nice and pretty much keeps the feud going.

 

Now you see, I wanted the Maple Leaf Express to pick up the victory here and I'm sad they did not but as explained, they were on a talent trade so could not win. Now, the way that Thatcher and Law won was excellent. Cheap, dirty, extreme heel-like, it's pretty much the way that would encourage fans to throw rubbish into the ring after the result. Jamie not seeing the whole thing lead to the Jay Fair angle which pretty much reminded me of the referee strikes in September of 1999 in WWF (when I was a lil' kid).

 

Nicky vs Enygma was a great read along with the debut of B.S.S. Finally, the main event was just...wow...Pretty much ended the show on a high-note. Another cheap/dirty finish, but it was the right decision.

 

All in all, nice show man :)
