Hype Video for tonight’s show using highlights from last week. including:

 

 

-Tyson Baine destroys Enygma for a second straight time and shockingly unmasks him; ending last week show by leaving the arena with Phil Vibert, presumably joining Team Vibert.

 

 

-Eddie Peak is not wanted in USPW, says Phil Vibert; has him arrested and banned from USPW events.

 

 

-Daryl Devine is being recruited by both sides, Sam Strong’s and Vibert’s. The clock is ticking on his decision.

When the opening video fades, the theme music plays and the cameras cruise around the arena in Panama City Beach; the fans are excited and ready for action. Shawn Doakes, Mickey Starr, and Sarah Silver are at a special broadcast location halfway up the aisle.

 

 

SD: “USPW American Wrestling is LIVE on Sports America tonight and we come to you from right along the Gulf of Mexico in one of the hottest vacation spots on the planet earth.”

 

 

MS: “And everywhere I look…..it’s bikinis, bikinis, bikinis. I like it, I can’t lie.”

 

 

SS: “Even I’m in a bikini, guys. What do you think?

 

 

Starr looks her up and down as Doakes averts his eyes totally. It’s silver.

 

 

MS: “I think it’s a good thing I’m on heart pills.”

Suddenly, “Legitimate Patriot” comes railing through the speakers. Sam Strong comes out to a massive welcome alongside his usual throng: daughter Alicia, best friend Peter Valentine, and his protégé Nicky Champion. He is deep in USPW country and soaks in the ovation, really playing things up even on his wobbly knees and generally having a good time. When he gets to the ring he points to each of the three with him and gets the crowd behind them as well before taking a microphone from the tuxedoed ring announcer.

 

 

SS: “You know something brothers, in two weeks the USPW is going to war with Phil Vibert and our life as the company that you love is at stake.”

 

 

Big pop; Sam is a master.

 

 

SS: “And when I set out to put together my team, to put together the guys that I’m going to send into the biggest battle of my career, I knew I didn’t need to look any further than the two dudes that are as close to me as my family, Peter Valentine and Nicky Champion.”

 

 

Everybody in the ring nods, except for Valentine who wears the same sour look he’s worn the past few weeks. And as Sam begins again, Peter looks as if he’s about to say something to Strong, but Sam holds up his hand and goes into his announcement.

 

 

SS: “But that means that I’m going to need two more warriors to join me. And with Vibert starting his team with the two mammoths Charlie Thatcher and Des Davids…..”

 

 

He pauses for effect.

 

 

SS: “I knew I had to go BIG.”

 

 

People begin to stand.

 

 

SS: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the USPW…….”

 

 

Now everybody is standing, craning their heads to look up the aisle.

 

 

SS: “The eighth wonder of the world………”

 

 

Lights. Music.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SS: “BRUCE THE GIANT!!!!”

 

 

Panama City Beach comes unglued when the seven foot four and nearly five hundred pound legend ducks under the stage setting and walks out. People fumble with their camera phones, trying to capture the moment.

 

 

SS: “That’s right Phil Vibert, you might’ve added a monster to your stable in Tyson Baine……but I’ve got the biggest man in the world on my side, dude.”

 

 

Bruce finally gets into the ring and riles the crowd once again, taking microphone from Sam after a long embrace between the two hall of famers.

 

 

BTG: “Phil Vibert, I’m going to squash your little men and boot you back to the big city for my friend Sam Strong and for the great fans of the USPW.”

 

 

They love him.

 

 

BTG: “Sam, I must ask that I get put in a match; to shake off some of the rust.”

 

 

Sam turns to the fans and cranks them up even more in a ‘do-you want-it’ manner before grabbing the mike and pointing right at Champion.

 

 

SS: “How about it Nicky? You want to get into the ring with Bruce and show him how far you’ve come?”

 

 

Champion looks stunned, but with the swell behind him, he slowly begins nodding and reaches out to shake The Giant’s hand with Sam and Alicia applauding.

 

 

 

 

Nicky and Bruce climb out of the ring and head backstage, presumably to dress for their match, leaving Sam and Alicia standing with Peter Valentine. The segment seems to be over; Strong’s music even begins playing.

 

 

SS: “Sorry about that Peter, man, what were you saying?”

 

 

Valentine just squints at him, past him even before walking past him.

 

 

PV: “Never mind.”

Aaron Andrews vs. Darryl Devine

 

Result: Coming off of a big win in his debut last week, Aaron Andrews is noticeably pumped up for his bout tonight. And he rides that momentum from bell to bell, looking more and more like a superstar with every passing minute, and wrestling Darryl Devine even-steven to a ten minute draw. Devine understandably heels out and flips about needing another minute or two to finish the job, really getting into it with referee Robbie Sanchez. Andrews watches him skeptically while he almost comes to blows with the smallish official before offering his hand as a sign of respect.

 

 

SD: “He obviously doesn’t know who he’s in there with, does he?”

 

 

Devine shakes his head and laughs, walking in the other direction before jumping out of the ring, collecting a barely interested Seduction, and heading back up the aisle.

 

 

MS: “I wonder if all of this back and forth between Sam Strong wanting him to join Team USPW and Phil Vibert wanting him to join his team is getting into his head somewhat; maybe altering his focus a bit. I’d have thought he’d have made quick work of the new guy.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Beating Jumbo last week was one thing, but running out to a ten minute draw with Devine means you’re on the fast track with me, because I don’t think I’ve made a secret about my respect for Darryl, have I? Well, I like Andrews almost that much already.

 

Aaron Andrews and Darryl Devine draw @ 10:00

 

 

 

 

 

 

**********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A pre-produced vignette rolls; Ford Memphis is standing, hand over mouth, as Al and Pete Hillbilly wander wide eyed through a very high end men’s clothing store. Even more wide eyed is the unfortunate salesman who attempts to help them, as the small wiry man needing a stool to measure the two smelly rednecks borders on a being human slapstick comedy sketch. But as Ford is at his wits end, thoroughly embarrassed with the whole situation and ready to walk out…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A woman wearing a short black dress and little bit too much eye make-up holds her hand up, getting Memphis’ attention from across the store.

 

 

“If you’re lookin’ to make them boys look, well…… hot like you, I think I might be able to service you….”

 

 

She giggles, covering her mouth as she does so.

 

 

“I mean….I could be OF service to you.”

 

 

Memphis has pulled his sunglasses down and is triple blatantly looking at her expanse of cleavage.

 

 

VM: “And what’d you say your name was darlin’?”

 

 

She leans forward, even as Al and Pete un-smoothly lean in to get a look.

 

 

K: “Kitten.”

 

 

Memphis blinks.

 

 

FM: “Kitten?”

 

 

She snaps her gum.

 

 

K: “Yep.”

 

 

He nods slowly before pushing his gold rimmed sunglasses back into place.

 

 

FM: “Perfect.”

 

 

 

 

**********

 

 

 

 

 

T-Rex vs. Keith Vegas

 

Result: Another week, another local wrestler lined up across the ring from T-Rex looking every part the victim he is supposed to. Vegas lasts a little bit longer than Rex’s last two opponents, as he tries the as yet unseen ‘grab-the-ropes-and-hang-on-for-dear-life’ strategy. It works for about thirty five seconds longer than the ‘run-right-into-it’ attack that most use, but it still ends with him locked in the “Jurassic Crush” (Full Nelson) and tapping like a maniac.

 

 

SD: “Chalk up another for T-Rex. That’s seventy-two straight.”

 

 

MS: “And, in this case, what happens in Vegas…….is now a matter for the paramedics. The poor kid has got to be hurt after that.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Re-spect it!

 

 

T-Rex wins via submission @ 3:04

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cameras rush outside to the reserved parking area where Chris Caulfield is hanging half in and half out of his grey rental sedan, having apparently been thrown through the driver’s side window. As backstage staffers give way to medical personnel and the process of slowly extracting him from the glassless frame begins, an agent comes away from the scene with a wadded up black t-shirt.

 

 

Agent: “It says DaVE on it; it was shoved in the hole with him, with Caulfield.”

 

 

The shot stays on the now frantic action as Caulfield is pushed hurriedly via stretcher to a nearby ambulance. Phil Vibert runs up on the scene and puts two and two together quickly, fuming as Doakes and Starr tie up the segment and lead it into the next one.

 

 

SD: “I’ll give you three guesses who was behind that. And the first two don’t count.”

 

 

MS: “I know exactly who did it, Doakes, but I’m not even going to say his name on our TV show. Phil’s orders.”

 

 

SD: “In any event, this is tragic. Caulfield’s return to action after a few months on the shelf was supposed to be a big deal for the company, but since he’s come back, he’s gotten beaten around so brutally, I wouldn’t be surprised if he just decided to hang ‘em up for good.”

 

 

MS: “Maybe somebody else, but not Chris Caulfield. I just don’t see him walking away from a fight without punching back.”

 

 

 

 

*********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andre Jones vs. Jumbo Jackson

 

Result: Over the last month or so, Andre Jones has been one of the most intense competitors in the USPW. And on this occasion, he puts everything together for one of the bigger wins of his career, stopping a thoroughly overmatched Jumbo Jackson with a surprising springboard blockbuster.

 

 

SD: “I haven’t seen Andre Jones pull that move out before; it must be something new.”

 

 

MS: “And he looked as good as he ever has tonight, Doakes. Ford Memphis better take some time out of his busy ‘clothes-buying’ schedule to get ready for his inevitable showdown with Jones.”

 

 

SD: “Ironically enough, Mickey, that match was just announced on our website earlier this hour. It’ll be happening at the PPV, a TV Title match between Ford Memphis and Andre Jones. And you know, that show is shaping up to be a must see event.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: We’re obviously gearing up Andre Jones for a push at Ford Memphis’ TV Title; Jumbo Jackson has been falling for weeks. You do the math. To his credit, Jumbo hasn’t squawked once about the number of jobs I have had him doing of late, which is both great and unexpected.

 

 

Andre Jones wins via pinfall @ 5:14

Phil Vibert, already in a foul mood, has descended on Darryl Devine’s dressing room backstage. As usual, he is shadowed by all three massive members of his team, Charlie Thatcher, Des Davids, and USPW World Champion Tyson Baine. Devine tries to duck out the other door, but Baine blocks his way, redirecting him into Vibert before cornering Seduction and leering down at her.

 

 

DD: "Now you all want to know whose side I'm on? I've got an important life-altering decision to be made. Vibert or Strong. Wow, this is gonna be a tougher decision than Team Edward or Team Jacob. Well, let me tell you a little something about both sides that everyone seems to be forgetting in all this hubbub. Sam Strong; Wrestling legend. Phil Vibert; Brilliant mind. Sam Strong; had his company wrestled away from him by Phil Vibert. Phil Vibert; Drove his previous company straight into the ground. DaVE went down like the Titanic, like the Hindenburg, like BP's stock. Great mind though, great mind. Do I feel confident in our new owners business skill? Well hell, does a turkey feel confident in it's flying ability? Now don't get me wrong Phil, I don't hate you. Yet. I just don't feel any sense of job security with you. If you were president the Canadians would laugh at how worthless our dollar is instead."

 

 

PV: "Then I take it your mind's made up."

 

 

DD: "Oh, my mind was made up a long time ago."

 

 

PV: "I hope you're happy with Sam Strong then."

 

 

DD: "To Hell with Sam Strong! Do you know how long I've been with this company? I've been here for 7 goddamn years! I've been here longer than almost everyone here and do you know what I have to show for it? Jack sh*t, that's what! For the last 7 miserable years of my life I've been relegated to curtain jerking with a loser with a backwards cap, a moron with spots in his hair and any geriatric Sam Strong can throw his money at like a millionaire in a whore-house! That has been my life in The Land of Strong for these past 7 years, so I say to Hell with Sam Strong. I say to Hell with him and his supporters who all look down on me with a condescending look in their beady little eyes. They don't care about this company; they don't care about wrestling anymore. They've all been rejected from Eisen-Land and they're here for the payday. They support him because he can pay them. Me? I still have a hunger in me. I hunger to be the best, to be champion and not to glide by on my past. Sam Strong can kiss my ass if he thinks I'm joining."

 

 

PV: "You heard him Strong! He's not yours."

 

 

DD: "Get your grubby, little hand off me Vibert before you find it shoved somewhere very unpleasant."

 

 

PV: "But, you're not with Strong."

 

 

DD: "And I'm sure as hell not with you either. You really think I believe a damn thing you say? All these people you have brainwashed would believe you if you told them Xenu was hanging out with a three-headed Monkey in their mom's basement they'd believe you and rush off to see it for themselves. When you tried to recruit me you forgot one crucial little detail; I have a brain, and I know how to use it. You make yourself out like some kind of wrestling messiah, yet I see right through you. You have no divinity over me Vibert."

 

 

PV: "You have to choose a side."

 

 

DD: "Really? So I have a choice that comes down to 'where do your loyalties lie? To the hound that would eat you or to the one who would feed you to the hounds?' I say screw you both, leave me out of your petty little dick measuring contest. I am my own person; I belong to neither of you. That's my answer. Don't forget it."

Alicia Strong/Joanne Rodriguez/Alexis Lee vs. Belle Bryden/Raven Robinson/Cherry Bomb

 

Result: A very spirited and sometimes hard hitting match between six of the best women’s wrestlers in the world (ok, four or five) is not without its problems for the official, Robbie Sanchez. Belle and Raven Robinson function like a well oiled machine, but Cherry Bomb is an obvious third wheel throughout and is the reason Alicia catches Raven blind with a “Strong Arm Tactic” at just past the six minute mark. However, after the bell, Bryden and Robinson jump Alicia and Rodriguez and beat them down soundly.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: The Women’s Division is going to be important going forward. I said that already? Well…..I guess I said it again because it’s the truth. Just about half of our end of the month signings are women.

 

 

Strong/J-Ro/Alexis Lee win via pinfall @ 6:14

Charlie Thatcher/Des Davids vs. Savage Fury

 

Result: Four big, bad men square off in a very slow, very methodically paced tag team wrestling match that threatens to go off the rails several times. Baby Jamie slowly begins losing his patience separating the legal man from the illegal one, returning the match’s action to the ring, and trying to keep foreign objects out of everyone’s hands. The finish comes when Thatcher sneaks a chair into the ring and starts to swing it at Java before tossing it to him instead, seconds before Baby Jamie turns around, catching Java with it instead of Thatcher, and calling for the bell instantly before diving out of the ring.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Everyone gets something out of this match and no one really has to come out looking bad. I was curious to see if these four guys could make anything happen as opponents, too, so we’ll get to that when we see the grades.

 

 

Thatcher/Davids win via DQ @ 5:21

 

 

 

 

 

 

***********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nicky Champion is in his gear and is getting loose right behind the curtain as Sam and Alicia Strong stand just behind him. In the seconds before his music is set to rip, and the crowd begins to swell, Nicky turns around.

 

 

NC: “I can’t believe you’re putting me out there against Bruce, Sam. I…..”

 

 

Sam interrupts him, putting his hand on his protégé’s shoulder.

 

 

SS: “Brother before it’s all said and done, you’re going to go down as one of the legends of this business. That is something I believe in my heart. I’m sure of it. But on your way up, you’re going to have to rumble with some of the big dogs.”

 

 

Nicky nods.

 

 

SS: “And that seven foot plus Aussie oak is one of ‘em, dude. No doubt about it, he’s one of the best of all time.”

 

 

Nicky is serious, stone faced, hands clenched. His music hits. The crowd rises. History awaits.

 

 

SS: “And you can beat him.”

 

 

 

 

 

***********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nicky Champion vs. Bruce the Giant

 

Result: A surprisingly intense match following Sam and Nicky’s promo keeps the fans into the show until the very last second, where the finish turns everything into one big mess. At the point that it happens, Nicky Champion has staged a comeback against the Australian legend, blocking a series of Bruce’s mallet-like overhand punches and responding with a series of his own before stepping back and looking like he is about to load up for the “XXX”.

 

 

But, right on cue……

 

 

 

 

 

 

…..Tyson Baine stalks down the ramp, drawing the attention of both Nicky and Bruce as well as referee Baby Jamie who yells at the top of his lungs, warning Baine about coming any closer to the ring. As Baine gets up onto the apron, and Jamie calls for the bell……

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

….. the unmasked Enygma comes sprinting down and makes straight for Baine. Bruce and Nicky just look on as a plethora of USPW security and local police fill the ring and ringside area, separating Enygma from the demonic World Champion immediately.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Nicky Champion is headed to the top, and there’s no going back now. Is he the guy to carry the banner of the company going forward? We’ll see. But right now I’m pretty confident in his ability to grow into a solid top four or five type guy and be in that that spot comfortably for the next ten years.

 

 

Stoppage/Thrown Out @ 11:35

Sam Strong’s music hits as Tyson Baine is escorted out of the building through the crowd by the security team and he heads straight for the ring, grabbing the ring announcer’s microphone and slowly ambling his way up the ring stairs.

 

 

SS: “Brother, I can’t tell you how good it made me feel to see you come out and get into Baine’s face just then.”

 

 

Enygma nods as Nicky Champion, Alicia Strong, and Bruce the Giant fall in behind Sam. Notably absent from Team USPW is Peter Valentine.

 

 

SS: “It proved to me that you have the same fire in your heart that I do, that Nicky Champion does. That Bruce the Giant does. That Alicia Strong does, man.”

 

 

Enygma nods, while reaching through the ropes for a mike of his own.

 

 

E: “I do Sam. Tyson Baine taking my mask was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to me. I’m reborn and refocused; I’m everything I’ve always supposed to have been. All the hype, all the build up I got from promoters, and I’ve never had a real reason to be focused on anything in this business. Now, for the first time…..I have a reason to be focused.”

 

 

A close up.

 

 

E: “I’m going to take the USPW World Title from Tyson Baine, that’s true, but this isn’t just about titles anymore. This is personal. I’m going to put him out of wrestling. Permanently.”

 

 

Enygma looks like he’s going to turn to climb out of the ring, but Sam stops him before quickly turning back to Nicky and Bruce.

 

 

SS: “Captain?”

 

 

The fans begin to cheer. Sam turns to them quickly and riles them up as only he can before extending his hand to Enygma.

 

 

 

SS: “Listen, I want you for Team USPW, dude. THE USPW fans want you for Team USPW. What do you think? Will you be the captain of my team?”

 

 

Enygma doesn’t even hesitate before accepting Sam’s handshake and falling into a big group hug with the rest of Team USPW. And as the logo flashes across the bottom of the screen, Shawn Doakes takes us home.

 

 

SD: “Take that Phil Vibert! Sam Strong has added both Bruce the Giant and Enygma to Team USPW to fill out the squad. Good luck topping that.”

“Another good show this week; a ‘C+’, which makes it two in a row.”

 

“I know.”

 

 

“That was a compliment you know.”

 

 

“I guess I expected a bigger response from the return of Bruce the Giant.”

 

 

“It was big, but…..”

 

 

“It was big, but…..what?”

 

 

“I felt like I had seen it before. With Sam Strong turning to his lifelong nemesis turned respected friend....”

 

 

“I get that, I really do, but sometimes, there can’t be a swerve; there has to be a point where the people see things the same way as creative does.”

 

 

“Go on.”

 

 

“One of the ways that you can make your ‘wow’ moments shine a little bit more is by giving the fans the obvious more often than not. Set your own status quo. Almost always, the fans want the easiest story. Whether they’ll admit it or not.”

 

 

“…..”

 

 

 

“Bruce the Giant was such an obvious choice, the armchair booker down to the newest twelve year old mark could’ve predicted it. And that makes everyone comfortable.”

 

 

“Which is exactly how you want them, isn’t it?”

 

 

"Which makes your other surprises that much more surprising."

 

 

"Smart."

 

 

“You’re coming along nicely. What’s your name again?”

Another good show, NN, and I'm really enjoying the Guest Booker segments. Some real fun insight into Vibert's personality and approach. Plus it helps that I agree with a lot of his booking ideals, such as this one...

 

Thanks Bigpapa. The Guest Booker stuff is super fun to write, especially given the fact that it serves as a review of the ratings and the game mechanic side of things. I love getting the chance to explain the booking things, too, in the moment.

 

 

Last call for predictions, too, folks. The DVD pack this time is going to be a good one. :)

Bruce the Giant/Nicky Champion vs. Tyson Baine/Charlie Thatcher

Draw Cant see a winner being decided in this match. Maybe "He who must not be named" interferes.

 

Enygma vs. Jumbo Jackson

Jumbo Jackson win? Not a chance in hell.

 

T-Rex vs. Bob Casey

The streak re-spect it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Andre Jones vs. Freddie Datsun

Tough call betewwn AA and AJ, but im guessing Andrews is a bigger name.

 

Darryl Devine vs. Ben Williams

DD FTW.

Bruce the Giant/Nicky Champion vs. Tyson Baine/Charlie Thatcher See Nicky. See Nicky job. Job, Nicky, job.

 

Enygma vs. Jumbo Jackson The man needs a win to get his kayfabe momentum back up and running

 

T-Rex vs. Bob Casey How odd we're supporting a T-Rex streak...

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Andre Jones vs. Freddie Datsun Hmm, tough one and my first instinct was to back AA. Still, Jones is homegrown and Datsun seems to be there to take the fall, so Andrews will look good but not be involved in the finish

 

Darryl Devine vs. Ben Williams The lone wolf against the Bump Machine? Yeah.

Bruce the Giant/Nicky Champion vs. Tyson Baine/Charlie Thatcher

 

As D-Mack said Thatcher's the weak link here

 

Enygma vs. Jumbo Jackson

 

Phil's made no secret that he's practically abusing Jumbo in a glorified jobber role :D

 

T-Rex vs. Bob Casey

 

The streak....RESPECT....the streak

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Andre Jones vs. Freddie Datsun

 

In Phil Vibert's mind Double A's a step above the other two.

 

Darryl Devine vs. Ben Williams

 

I think Ben Williams would spontaneously combust if he actually won a match.

Bruce pins Thatcher and looks like the monster he is

 

Enygma vs. Jumbo Jackson

 

Jumbo's a JTTS right now and Enygma needs all the momentum he can get.

 

T-Rex vs. Bob Casey

 

Yeah....Casey's not winning this one, Casey's never winning this one

 

Aaron Andrews vs. Andre Jones vs. Freddie Datsun

 

A Double's been on form since he debuted and it continues here

USPW American Wrestling

Live on Sports America

Week 3 October

Buffalo, NY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the show goes live, Peter Valentine is already climbing into the ring with a microphone in hand. Backstage, a few agents alert Sam Strong, as apparently Valentine in the ring to start the show was not in the format.

 

 

PV: “News flash.”

 

 

A years gone old Valentine catchphrase; one of the worst ever.

 

 

PV: “This back and forth between Team USPW and Team Vibert is over as of right now.”

 

 

He pauses.

 

 

PV: “Because I have an announcement to make.”

 

 

A ringside security guy tries to climb into the ring, but Valentine is on him like a shot, booting him to the floor before straightening his shirt and continuing.

 

 

PV: “Now I’m sure most of you know me as Sam Strong’s best friend, in fact most of you probably believe that I’ve needed Sam to have most of the jobs I’ve had in this business.”

 

 

PV: “And, while I resent it, I know that it’s something that I made possible.”

 

 

PV: “See, I always acted like I was depending on you Sam, like I needed you.”

 

 

PV: “And it worked. You bought it hook, line, and sinker.”

 

 

Sam Strong walks out and Valentine turns to face him, pointing angrily.

 

 

PV: “All those years, Sam? I used you.”

 

 

He smiles.

 

 

PV: “And you never knew it.”

 

 

Sam hangs his head.

 

 

PV: “I got rich off of you, did you know that?”

 

 

PV: “I got so rich in fact, Sam, that I was able to start a couple of businesses on the side.”

 

 

He wipes his face with a towel.

 

 

PV: “Nothing big, nothing important sounding. At least to start.”

 

 

PV: “But I’ve made millions, Sam, tens of millions, and it all started with the money that I made because of you.”

 

 

PV: “Started doing some investing, too. And I started putting my money into things. Assets, they’re called.”

 

 

PV: “A little bit in oil. Some more in real estate. And when it became available in 2006……”

 

 

PV: “I purchased some shares in a little wrestling company called USPW.”

 

 

PV: “I did it all under the cover of some overseas bank; one that would make the entire transaction for me, represented only by a number.”

 

 

PV: “Sound familiar?”

 

 

PV: “I own the missing shares and I’m going to sell them to the Phil Vibert Group at the beginning of the business day tomorrow.”

 

 

PV: “And before you ask yourself why I would do something like this…..the answer is simple. I always planned to pass you, Sam; to climb over you on my way to the top.”

 

 

PV: “It might’ve taken a decade longer than I planned, but this is me doing that.”

 

 

PV: “See you around.”

 

 

Valentine hops out the backside of the ring and pushes his way over a barrier, stepping through fans until he gets to the side exit. Sam Strong just stands slackjawed in the same spot as cameras follow Valentine to a waiting limo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

********

 

 

 

 

 

Darryl Devine vs. Ben Williams

 

Result: Darryl Devine is all business tonight and destroys Ben Williams in just under four minutes, stretching him good before letting him stagger out of the corner and into a “DDD”.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Just moving Darryl along here, letting his talent do the talking, and it speaks loudly don’t you think? After his promo last week and a squash win, I’m getting the feeling that his momentum is going to climb too.

 

 

Darryl Devine wins via pinfall @ 3:45

 

 

 

 

 

 

*******

 

 

 

 

 

A pre-produced vignette rolls. The camera bobs its way through a sea of people at some wild beach house party. There is no shortage of beautiful women, drink flows like water and the lights pulse along with the ever present bass line that throbs in the background.

 

 

When the shot stops, it settles on a pair of young men on a bench in the sand surrounded by eight or nine smoking hot party girls. The dark haired one in the reflective sunglasses stands up and begins pointing to the girls, counting off one….two….three….four…..

 

 

He smiles at his friend; one of the other girls twirls his multi colored hair.

 

 

“If one is good, ten is better, right?”

 

 

“Dude, you know it.”

 

 

They bump fists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-EXCESS-

 

 

 

 

 

*******

Aaron Andrews vs. Andre Jones vs. Freddie Datsun

 

Result: The fans have already gotten behind Aaron Andrews following his debut win over Jumbo Jackson two weeks ago and his ten minute draw with Darryl Devine last week. Tonight, he handles a game Freddie Datsun and an unfocused and bland Andre Jones, dropping Datsun on his head with a piledriver to get the win at about half past the sixth minute.

 

 

MS: “Aaron Andrews continues to impress.”

 

 

SD: “And Andre Jones does not. He needs to get focused…or else. His chance at the TV title is just around the corner.”

 

 

MS: “And take it from me, Doakes, chances don’t just grow on trees in this business. You’ve got to take advantage of every one you’re lucky enough to get. You just can't be up one week and then down the next.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: This came together perfectly. Having Jones not win the match is something that I was looking to do too, storywise, and having Andrews thing with Devine take a week off made this an easy match to put together.

 

 

Aaron Andrews wins via pinfall @ 6:22

Sam Strong is backstage in Team USPW’s specially outfitted locker room. Everyone is there: Enygma, Bruce the Giant, Nicky Champion, and Alicia Strong all pace around, but it is Nicky Champion that fumes the most, sulking and stalking near Sam as the legend calmly thumbs through an old style rolodex on the corner of his desk. The incident earlier with Peter Valentine has got his so cranked, he finally bursts.

 

 

NC: “How can you be so laid back, Sam?! Are we even going to have the match? And if so, who’s going to be our fourth partner?”

 

 

Everyone sighs at Nicky; they can understand where he is coming from. Except Sam, that is, who coolly pulls a card out of the vintage directory and begins dialing his phone, smiling even.

 

 

SS: “Phil is a man of his word; we’ll still have the match regardless of what Valentine just said. I know he’d rather have the chance to embarrass us on pay-per-view than to have things go down like this…..”

 

 

Someone picks up on the other end and Sam trails off, pushing out his chair and walking to the opposite side of the room for some privacy.

 

 

SS: “I need you. Can you be here tonight?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

T-Rex vs. Bob Casey

 

Result: In the seconds before he is introduced, the fans all stand up, many with streak related signs, to try to get a glimpse of T-Rex on his way to the ring. In many ways, it is more than half of the show: Rex flexes before clotheslining jobber du jour Bob Casey and whips him into the turnbuckles. Less than a minute later, Casey is unconscious and hanging from the “Jurassic Crush”.

 

 

SD: “This man is unstoppable. End of story.”

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: Things have been coming along so well with T-Rex in this storyline that there is no reason to stop any time soon. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

 

 

T-Rex wins via submission @ 2:17

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another vignette rolls, as the match ends, this time featuring Ford Memphis. He and Kitten sit side by side in his pink Cadillac as they roll down the highway; the date of his TV title defense against Andre Jones is written in the back window in heavy white grease paint.

 

Just to their right, beside them on the highway, are Al and Pete front to back on a motorcycle. As the camera focuses in to get a glimpse of their new look, Ford revs the Caddy’s engine and kicks up a huge cloud of dust, obscuring any view until they are out of sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

********

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enygma vs. Jumbo Jackson

 

Result: Jumbo Jackson brings his “A” game and pushes the newly unmasked Enygma to his absolute limit. That said, Enygma’s refocused effort is simply too much for the floundering muscle-head, who falls victim to

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: This is purely about stabilizing Enygma’s momentum after his two losses to Tyson Baine. It hadn’t gotten too low, but I know this will help.

 

 

Enygma wins via submission @ 6:04

Phil Vibert is backstage in his office, and with his group behind him. They wait while Sara Silver puts a microphone “press conference” style on Vibert’s desk.

 

\

Vibert takes his time and addresses the camera directly.

 

 

PV: “You’re right, Sam. We CAN still have the match next Sunday, don’t worry. I’m so sure that my team will destroy your bunch of losers that I’ll even put the missing ownership shares up as part of the winnings. Isn’t that nice of me? That’s basically what it boils down to anyway, isn’t it? Control? Control of USPW?”

 

 

PV: “But in exchange for that understanding, in exchange for not just taking over and taking control of your company…. outright…. whenever I want…..”

 

 

PV: “I’m going to need something from you.”

 

 

PV: “Since this is going to be MY company after Sunday, I’m going to need to start thinking about things like TV Ratings and PPV Buyrates, aren’t I?”

 

 

PV: “After what has transpired tonight, with Peter Valentine essentially wiping his ass with you, Sam, I get the feeling that there might be a little bit of money to be squeezed out of having the two of you step foot in a USPW ring……”

 

 

PV: “And next Sunday, you’ll do just that, am I clear?”

 

 

PV: “Not only do I forget that I own controlling interest in the USPW until Sunday, but I make those very shares part of the deal.”

 

 

PV: “And all I want is to watch Valentine put the boots to your old leathery hide like he should have……like a lot of people should have……years ago.”

 

 

PV: “Get dressed up in the red, white, and blue one more time and have Alicia point you toward the ring.”

 

 

PV: “I’m going to enjoy watching.”

Bruce the Giant/Nicky Champion vs. Tyson Baine/Charlie Thatcher

 

Result: From the start, this has the makings of being an out of control brawl between four big men and it doesn’t disappoint the Florida fans, going in and out of the ring on numerous occasions. Bruce and Tyson Baine engage in a classic staredown and test of strength (which Baine wins). Nicky Champion flashes some signs of old-school greatness, rallying from an excessive beatdown at the hands of Thatcher to put Vibert’s bodyguard on the brink of defeat, lining him up for a “XXX” (superkick) before Baine clubs him from behind, initiating the finish.

 

All four men battle in the ring and do so, without one team getting a noticeable advantage. Baby Jamie cannot keep control, grabbing two handfuls of his own hair before beginning to count as the fight goes to the floor once again. Nicky Champion makes an effort, but all four men are so focused on the fight that they don’t stop even upon hearing the announcer say they have been counted out.

 

 

Phil’s Story Notes: This sort of booked itself after last week, didn’t it? And I’ll admit to taking the easy way out finish-wise, but I’ve got a pay-per-view to sell; what would you do?

“Legitimate Patriot” hits and the place goes up in an instant. Sam Strong walks out with Enygma and the pair hit the ring like gangbusters, helping Nicky and Bruce clear the battleground in no time flat. From the floor, Tyson Baine dangerously swings his chain at the group in the ring, but Enygma reaches out and snatches it, surprisingly tugging it out of Baine’s hands and flinging it to the mat to a huge round of applause from the fans.

 

 

As Enygma points at Baine and the two factions jaw at each other, Sam secures a microphone and proceeds to blow the house up.

 

 

SS: “I knew something like this would happen, dudes.”

 

 

SS: “I know Peter Valentine as well as Peter Valentine knows Peter Valentine. I knew something wasn’t right long before he snapped at me last week.”

 

 

SS: “And long before whatever that was earlier tonight.”

 

 

SS: “So YES Phil Vibert, I’ll gladly get into the ring next Sunday and slap some sense into that snake. Consider it a deal.”

 

 

Vibert and his boys find Strong’s return to the ring humorous.

 

 

SS: “Now, concerning Peter’s replacement on Team USPW…..”

 

 

SS: “I went back to this company’s roots; to someone I knew that if I asked him where his heart was, he’d tell me it was in the USPW, dudes.”

 

 

SS: “Strong-a-maniacs, make some noise…..”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“…..for RICK LAW!!!!!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

Rick Law walks down the aisle spinning his baton and the place melts. Phil Vibert’s face is still. Sam Strong high fives the homegrown USPW superstar when he climbs into the ring before the whole group descends into one big mutual respect love fest. Sam loads up and goes to deliver the proverbial goods to end the show.

 

 

SS: “So watcha’ gonna do…..”

 

 

But Rick Law cuts him off, taking the mike before smiling and striking his best Sam Strong-like pose right beside the man himself. The scene drives the fans into a final frenzy and proves to be the end of the show .

 

 

RL: “So whatcha’ gonna do, Phil Vibert, when Team USPW runs wild on youuuuuuuuuuu?”

 

 

There is bedlam; the shot goes to Vibert’s face which remains indescribable as Shawn Doakes takes us home.

 

 

SD: “Vibert will have to go HUGE next week when he announces his teams’ fourth man to have an impact like the one we just saw. RICK LAW IS BACK IN USPW!”

The sirens are literally going off in USPW!!!

 

Vibert! What sorcery is this? How have you managed to get Rick Law just before PPV!?

 

In fairness though, that is a great lead-into a PPV, classic mark-out stuff.

 

Also; Eddie Peak...there's more to that story.

 

Edit: Also; this show, with the hype for EXCESS and the big mark out finale, really had that "modern" feel that Vibert been talking about...you can definitely feel a shift in how the promotion is presented now.

Rick Law, Bruce The Giant, Enygma, Champion...Who can Vibert get to to pull his team up to that standard. Baine is PAIN, but Thatcher & Davids dont match up to the standards of the other team.

 

Im excited to see who will be member 4 for Vibert. Maybe its some we should "RE-SPECT". :cool:

Saying it right now, 4th member will be Tommy Cornell.

 

Now that is both awesome and hilarious. :)

 

 

While I'll explain it in much more detail in the next Guest Booker segment, Law is/was the other (Hidden) signing Phil made last month. I was surprised he didn't reject negotiations totally, but TCW had let him slip, overness-wise, to a mix of C+ 's and B-'s which put him in a position to be available to USPW.

 

Now I have two shows before the PPV (and then the PPV itself) to try bring those numbers back up a bit.

 

 

And no, there were no shenanigans on Phil's or my part. :D

Either that or Eric Eisen, really.

Written contract? ;)

Have him end the streak.

 

...

 

Just kidding.

 

Actually, question: Wouldn't T-rex's Streak seem more real if you feed him more than just jobbers? I'm talking one-show appearances by big names from smaller feds.

I'm certainly going to up the ante for Rex coming up soon, but I'm also trying to recreate the Goldberg streak to some extent, which included a dumpload of jobbers. I guess the experiment is finding the right balance between having the streak go on and ending it at the right time, to the right person, for the right reason.

 

You know, the opposite of how WCW handled it.

 

And I think you'd be surprised how cost effective it is to have him squash chumps though, as far as his overness and momentum goes. :)
