The Johhny Heizenger Story

Hashasheen · May 29, 2011

Unfortunately, Emma Bitch retired, and I failed to see her potential as a manager at the time I released her. As for Miss Emily and Steve Flash, they both wanted 2000 per show at their last negotiation, plus a downside, which I just couldn't afford. I've only just reached $225,000 three years in!

Damn.

And Ota's only working for me right now. His last match for another promotion was in September '11 when he lost a CZCW title match to James Prudence, rating a...76.

Hm... Then you should probably still keep him. Not like he can afford to hardball you. I think. I forget his characteristics.

So I just finished reading through the entire story up to this point, and I have to say, it's been a great read. Phenomenal idea to see the world through Ant-Man's eyes. Also realized I need to stop reading in a few shows, due to my not having finished the aforementioned shows first season on DVD.

Culture Shock © vs Trent Schaffer & Rob Wright vs The Heartbreakers for the tag titles

With a rematch with the Generals looming, I don't see CS giving up the belts just yet.

Josh Jones vs John Sanders vs Lenny Brown

Sanders seems to be the anointed out of this trio, and if I'm not mistaken, the only one to win a match thus far.

New York Doll vs Ant-Man

The former lackey of anarchy seems to have stalled, while Ant-Man spent weeks underground, turning into a cold blooded ki ... well, wrestler.

Kinuye & SMY vs Gorgon & Grinn

SMY's injury plays a factor here, giving Giggles and Grouchy the victory.

Eddie Cornell & Lee Rivera vs Citizen X & Jade Dragon

While possible that Felix and Oscar pick up the win here, I don't see it ending so quickly. Gonna take the draw, leading to something more down the road.

Eddie Howard vs Casey Valentine

Because he's amazing, darn it! That, and he's not weighed down by that 17 pound hat anymore.

May 29, 2011

Always glad to have a new reader, and I hope I don't ruin the show for you. Take solace in the fact that I'm not going to follow it exactly from here on out!

I had the same issue with El Mitico in my MAW game. Extremely talented but found nothing for him to do and just let him walk at the end of his contract. Ota is a decent worker but I'd tend to keep him and give him some decisive wins over lower card workers and get his morale back up.

© vs.

vs. The Heartbreakers

Culture Shock had their hands full tonight, fending off the assaults of the gold-hungry challengers. Both teams forged an early alliance, but it soon dissolved as their differences became clear. Seeing this, Culture Shock fought their way back into contention, and after a quick scuffle resulted in Trent Schaffer, Apollo, and both Heartbreakers heading to the outside, Fire Fly took the opportunity to fly off the top rope and hit a soaring tornado DDT on Rob Wright to retain his title.

Culture Shock retain, 69.

Josh Jones vs.

vs. Lenny Brown

Next up we got to see a nice little exhibition featuring some of MAW’s youngest up-and-coming stars. The three of them didn’t disappoint, the fans, either, giving everything they had to try and come out on top and increase their stock. There were no alliances formed in this triple threat. Unlike the previous one, the match descended into chaos as quickly as it began, and saw each man targeting the others with reckless abandonment. The match finish came as Jones approached the downed Lenny Brown, only to have Brown kip up and twist him around with a nifty little hurricanrana that sent him tumbling through the ropes. Before Brown could get to his feet, Sanders sprinted forward, slapping on a tight ankle lock that forced the flashy young star to tap out.

Sanders wins, 54.

The Carolina Kid, uncharacteristically upset...

Jared Johnson came out next, a frown replacing his usual smile.

JJ:

A couple of months ago, I found out that some COWARD is putting me through the ringer. He can’t beat me straight up, so he’s sending everyone and their mother after me. Trent Schaffer, Eddie Howard, Behemoth, the list goes on and on! But here’s the thing, buddy, it isn’t gonna work! Just like everything from the Carolinas, Jared Johnson is unstoppable! You’re paying guys to soften me up? That’s not gonna cut it. Last week, Trent Schaffer went rogue and tried to really beat me, and he couldn’t even put a dent in me when he was really trying. So why don’t you come out here and --

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/TheGrandAvatar.jpg

The mystery man...

The shadowy figure appeared on the big screen. The silhouette revealed a shaking head.

??:

Jared, do you think I’m an idiot? I knew that Trent Schaffer couldn’t best you. I paid him for a job, and he accomplished it. You claim that he failed to put to put a dent in you. That, Jared, is only partially true. Physically, you’re fine. You may be a little roughed up, but you don’t have a match tonight, and you should be fine. But take a step back and look at yourself. Look, Jared, and listen. You’re a physical specimen, but your mind has been broken. Months of tough match ups, attacks, and looking over your shoulder have left you paranoid. You’re mentally broken, Jared. You fear me, a man you’ve never even met before. You fear the power I possess, and you know it.

JJ:

You’ve broken me? Why don’t you show your face for once, and in turn I’ll show you just how broken I am! You can’t snap my mind, and you know it.

??:

[Chuckles]

We’ll see, we’ll see… But have no fear Jared.

[Chuckles again]

My mind games are over. Now, I will physically break you. I will destroy you, Jared, and I will take that precious gold away from you. Well, not me personally. That honor lies with this man…

With that, two men stepped out onto the stage, revealing themselves to be…

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/FordGumble_alt1.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/AdrianGarcia.jpg

A dangerous duo, indeed...

Ford Gumble and Adrian Garcia!

??:

Yes, Jared, at the next event, so appropriately named Proving Ground, you get your chance to prove yourself to me against this man, Ford Gumble. And, for your sake, I truly hope that you were right about the whole steel trap mind thing. That said, what I hope and what I know are two separate things. At Proving Ground, Jared Johnson, you will lose.

A tense trio...

Backstage, Ford Gumble and Adrian Garcia are seen passing through the curtain. Waiting for them is Ant-Man, who’s hopping excitedly from foot to foot, his classic ring gear restored, it’s tatters mended and stains washed out. As he passes him, Ford looks contemptuously at Ant-Man before Adrian beckons him to continue on.

AG:

You know why you’re here?

AM:

Of course I do. I’m a champion, and this is where I belong.

AG:

No, you are not a champion, and this is not where you belong. Win, and you can prove to me that you are, that it is. You’re only here because you protected me. I’m in debt to you, and, believe me, I always pay my debts. You’ve come back from the pits of hell. Go out there and make me believe that I didn’t make a mistake, and someday, I may repay you by making you a god. Lose, and I return you to the pits that you bubbled out of. I’m sure The Gremlin misses you plenty.

New York Doll vs.

Ant-Man

Ant-Man took control early on, powering himself out of a side headlock and coming back with a big shoulder block. Not giving Doll any chance to recover, Ant continued to lay on the pressure, hitting a couple of scoop slams followed up with a delayed suplex that caused Doll to roll away and out of the ring. When Ant went out to follow him, Doll retreated further, running back into the ring, laying some stomps into Ant as soon as he followed him in. Doll, never resting, hit an elbow drop before slapping on a sleeper that very nearly put Ant away. Ant was able to gain his feet, though, and twisted Doll off of him. Doll came back with some punches and kicks, not wanting to relinquish his hold on the match, before grabbing Ant-Man, steadying him. He spun around, looking for a discuss clothesline, but when he came back aroud, Ant caught his arm before tossing him the air and hitting the Ant-Slam (Flapjack Powerslam) for the win!

Ant wins, 50

The champ and his adversaries

Cameron Vessey was filling up a cup of water at a water cooler backstage when he was approached from behind by none other than The Succession.

Jay Chord:

Nice match last week, Cam. You guys actually reminded me of a movie I watched the other day. Brett, what was the name of it?

Brett Starr:

Kick-Ass?

Jay grew red as Cam happily shook his head.

Jay Chord:

No, you moron, it was The Losers!

We rehearsed this earlier, dude, come on…

Cameron Vessey:

You know, Jay, that’s a funny joke and all, and I really do mean that, but I’ve got places to be right now. And if you don’t get out of my way, I’m gonna take this glass and smash it right upside your head.

Jay, suddenly worried, pushed Brett aside. Vessey smirked as he passed them by, lightly smacking Brett on the cheek.

CV:

Atta boy.

As soon as he was gone, Jay blew up.

JC:

What the hell was that, Brett!? We went over that joke like 10 times! You completely threw me off…

Casey Valentine just chuckled to himself as Brett cowed down, Jay verbally berating him until his face was a bright red.

MAW's resident bully

We cut next to American Patriot, who’s stomping through the backstage area until he notices a small kid wearing an old school red, white and blue Patriot shirt. Patriot smiles, a sight not too often seen.

American Patriot:

Hey, kid, that’s a nice shirt you got there.

The kid looks around, hoping the big man isn’t speaking to him, but, seeing no one else around, realizes he is. He points to himself in a, “Who, me?” kind of way.

AP:

Yeah, you. Come here, kid. Let’s talk.

The kid walks toward Patriot, his head hanging a little low.

AP:

Ya know, I remember when we first made those shirts. Had to be three years ago or something like that. Proudest day of my life at that point. Let me tell ya, ya get your own shirt, that’s when you know you’ve made it. That’s the day I knew I was the baddest dude around. So, kid, you a fan of Black Flag?

Kid:

Not really..

Patriot’s smile suddenly twisted on his face.

Kid:

…My mom got me this shirt. She said they were out Cameron Vessey ones, but I told her that I guessed it was okay…

AP:

Yeah, yeah, whatever, small fry. Now scram, kid, get out my face. Run along back to mommy.

The kid did so, walking off, but just before he did, he turned around and shot the finger at Patriot.

AP:

You little bastard!

Patriot took a step toward the kid, but he had already taken off around the corner.

??:

[Laughs]

Ahh, come on, Patriot, you’re used to it.

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/OzzieGolden.jpg

You know he composed his own entrance music, right?

Patriot turned around to see Oscar Golden leaning up against a wall. He had watched the whole thing.

OG:

From what I’ve seen, no one around here respects you anymore.

AP:

I’ll show you respect, you Canadian *****!

Patriot lunged at Golden, but before he could reach the Canadian Blonde, he was intercepted by a number of backstage, much like last week at BotMA. Golden waved goodbye to him as Patriot struggled to get free and at his rival.

OG:

See ya later, “Black Flag…”

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/MAW4.jpg

Seriously, why do they let people with serious mental problems wrestle?

Grinn and Gorgon came out next, and the crazed woman had a microphone in hand.

Grinn:

A terrible thing has happened! Something so vile, dastardly, downright…downright…amazing!

[laughs]

For all of you fans of the beautiful Sara, I’m so, so, so very sorry. She won’t be here tonight. She…she won’t be here for a while! You see, poor, poor Sara took a climb up and she took a tumble down, and she cracked! Right down the middle! So she can’t fight. Oh, no, no, no, nooooooo. She can’t even walk. It’s so sad…sad! Me, though, I like to be glad! So the show goes on without her. You see, to be in MAW, you have to fight, and if you can’t fight, you can’t be in MAW, and if you can’t be in MAW, you can’t hold a MAW title! So, as it happens, poor, poor Sara has had to vacate that shiny, oh so shinyyyyyyyyy belt of hers.

[Grinn bursts into another fit of laughter]

Kinuye vs.

It seems Grinn wasn’t kidding around when she said the show goes on, as G&G’s scheduled match against SMY and Kinuye did take place. Unfortunately for Kinuye, she had a distinct lack of a partner in her corner, and that greatly influenced the outcome of the match. Grinn and Gorgon brutalized her throughout, until they finally finished it up with a Hydra Bomb from Grinn, leaving Kinuye down and out.

G&G win, 47

Taking the high road...

La Alianza del Honor was walking backstage when they passed by Lisa Bowen & Behemoth. As they did so, Lisa Bowen called out to them.

LB:

Hey, boys, nice wins last week. Oh, that’s right, only two of you managed to do that. Ouch!

Bowen giggled at her joke, leaning up against Behemoth. Apollo stopped and turned, about to say something when Mitico grabbed him by the arm.

EM:

No, amigo, it is not worth it. She speaks out of jealousy, that is all. Come, we must go.

The trio turned and left, and Lisa turned and slapped Behemoth out on the chest, frustrated at not being able to get a rise out of Mitico or Culture Shock.

Team EC+LR. Oh, and The Great Ota, too.

We cut now to Eddie Cornell and Lee Rivera, who are standing at the gorilla curtain, waiting for their match to start. The Great Ota is sitting on a table next to them, Indian style. He holds a burning candle balanced on his palm.

EC:

I still don’t understand why he’s here.

LR:

Dude, he’s our mentor. He’s been teaching us all sorts of sweet tricks and stuff for our match.

Ota nodded.

LR:

I mean, check it out.

Lee takes a step back and jumps into the air, executing a pretty nice spinning kick. Unfortunately, he isn’t able to land the move, and falls down in a heap.

LR:

[standing up, dusting himself off]

Yeah, I haven’t got the hang of it yet…

EC:

As impressive as that is, I still don’t understand how he’s my mentor. He’s been teaching you a bunch of useless ninja stuff, but I’ve been off teaching myself. You know, studying tape on our opponents? Practicing stuff that’ll work against them.

LR:

Look, man, he’s super accomplished in the biz. You just need to accept that you can learn from him. Right Ota?

Ota, still balancing the candle on his palm produced a piece of paper from his gi, followed by a quill. Using his free hand, he scrawled something down on the paper before handing it to Lee.

LR:

[Reading the note]

‘Though the student is unwilling, it is his fate to learn and be great. It is written, and so prophesized.’ See, it’s written!

EC:

Give me that. And it’s written because he just wrote it down! [Eddie snatched the paper from Lee] When did you learn to read Kanji anyway!?

LR:

Master Ota taught me.

Ota nodded.

vs.

Citizen X & Jade Dragon

Even when Cornell got in the ring, this was a high flying match from the get go. Cornell seemed confused and struggled to keep pace with the speed at which his opponents were attacking, but Rivera was the solution to that problem. All Cornell had to do when he got overwhelmed was get to his corner and tag out, putting the speedy Thrill Seeker in the ring. Rivera couldn’t be stopped as he used his secret ninja training techniques to great advantage. Even when he seemed to be losing, he was actually just lulling X and Dragon into a false sense of security. Indeed, when Citizen X went up top looking for a high risk maneuver, Rivera met him mid air with the very same spinning kick he demonstrated backstage, eliciting an excruciatingly loud shriek as he did so. The pin afterwards was academic, and he earned his team the win.

The C&R Connection take the W, 60

Eddie Howard

vs. Casey Valentine

The main event of the night was a very entertaining slugfest between a pair of big personalities. Eddie Howard recently lost the 17 pound on his head, but don’t be fooled, he’s still Mr. Amazing, just a more focused, dangerous one. Therefore, the trash talk flew through the air almost as much as the punches did, which, for some reason, seemed to get Valentine a tad bit upset. The two took the match all over the ring, and the fighting spilled to the outside on more than one occasion, where Casey, using a bit of underhanded technique (namely, camera wire around Howard’s neck when the ref couldn’t see), took control. With the match firmly in his control, Casey returned to the ring, where he began to ****ily slap at Howard’s head. He began to laugh at him, even--until Howard responded with a big right hand, that is. Mr. Amazing was getting fired up as he took the fight to Valentine, hitting a nice series that ended with a big flying shoulder block. When Casey got back to his feet, he found a boot planted in his gut, and Howard lifted him in the air for the Jackhammer. As he held him upside down, Howard yelled out, “I’m Amazing, baby!” before drilling Valentine in the canvas for the win.

Eddie Howard wins, 68.

Valentine watched on, stunned, as Howard celebrated his way up the ramp. He was even more stunned when Rip Chord got up from the announce table and got in the ring.

RC:

Jay, Brett, I want you two to get out here. Now.

After a moment, Jay Chord and Brett Starr walked out to the ring and got in.

RC:

A few months ago, I told you three to prove to me that you were worth my time, that you really were the successors you claim to be. Tonight, Casey, you proved that to me.

[Rip put his arm around Casey’s shoulder]

Casey, I’ve known your uncle Peter for a long time. Peter’s a mans man, ya know. Tough, tenacious, and he’s got the ego to go places. But Casey, the thing about Peter is, well… Peter’s just about the worst damn wrestler I’ve ever worked with. Casey, I want to offer you my congratulations. Tonight, you proved to me that you’re as useless as your uncle.

Casey looked confused for a moment before he found yet another boot in his gut. This time it was Rip’s, and before he knew it, Rip had hit him with the classic Rip Chord DDT.

RC:

Have at him, boys.

Jay and Brett looked back and forth to one another.

RC:

I said get him, dammit!

They didn’t hesitate this time. First, Jay hoisted the near unconscious Casey up, allowing Brett to come running in, hitting a brutal Hollywood Hammer on his former partner. They lifted him again, and this time Jay took the initiative. He pulled Casey into a tight front facelock, looking for another DDT. But before he could execute, Cameron Vessey came sprinting down the aisle. He slid into the ring, and Jay dropped Casey as he slid out of the ring with Brett and Rip. The closing moment of the show saw Cameron checking on Casey as Rip, Jay, and Brett backed up the aisle, talking trash the whole way.

Total: 60

I see a tag team reunion coming...

Jaded · June 2, 2011

I FINALLY caught up with this, and that knocking sound you can hear is me hitting myself on the head for not reading it for so long.

Awesome, amazing stuff - definitely in my top 5 or so dynasties of all time - your characterisation is stunning. Favourite guys (to read, not in terms of cheering/booing) would have to be Ant-Man, Jay, Rip, Vessey, Citizen X, Steve Flash - did you HAVE to let him go?! - Ford Gumble, New York Doll, Cornell, Rivera, and Remmy Skye (see Steve Flash!!)

Edit: Dammit, and Black Flag! How could I forget the best heel turn of them all?!

June 3, 2011

I'm going to be honest, I know I say that I write this for fun, and I really do, but it's a great feeling to have people comment after shows and leave their thoughts. For a while there, I only got comments when the predictions went up, and, I admit, that was a little bit discouraging. But having people post their thoughts on the direction of the diary, the booking, their favorite characters, or even just to say that they enjoy what I'm writing, it really is a great feeling. Thanks guys

Every November since 2005, Rip’s hosted a big potluck Thanksgiving meal for MAW. The whole roster comes out to a big pavilion he rents out and we have ourselves a good ol’ time, as they say down South. Or so I’ve been told. I’ve never actually heard anyone say that in real life. They used to get together on the 15th of November, plan who brings what, and have the actual feast on the 24th. Now, since we run two shows a month, we all just get together after Showcase and patch everything out then and there, giving us a little bit more time to get everything ready. Except Rip, though.

You see, he handles the turkey, and he has it all down to a science. Five turkeys is what he uses to feed all of us. He roasts two of em, and he deep fries the other three. Now, I’m from New York, and up there, we don’t do the whole fried turkey thing. Something about the possibility of an explosion scares us a little bit or something, I don’t know. In 2010, my first MAW Thanksgiving, I avoided the fried stuff and stuck with the more traditional fare. Last year, though, I decided to dip into the deep fried beast sitting across from me, and, I gotta say, I don’t think I’m ever going back.

That’s one of the amazing things I’ve found about being a wrestler. Not only do you (hopefully) get to travel away from home, but you’re gonna meet up with all sorts of people. The sort of people you would have never met before, and probably never even struck up a friendship with. But you work with this people, put your safety in their hands, and a sort of bond forms. Looking around the table, this was made all the more obvious. Ford Gumble and Jean Cattley, two real life, rough and tumble blue collar dudes were happily chatting with the pierced, Mohawk-sporting punk New York Doll. Behemoth, the Canadian wildman did his best to put the finer points of biochemistry into layman’s terms for Jared Johnson, who just nodded his head, laughing every now and then. And Alison and I sat across from Fire Fly and El Mitico (sans masks) who were excitedly describing to us the meals their families prepared for them at various Mexican holidays.

The official title of the days was The MAW Thanksgiving Bash, which sounds like a PPV show I should talk to Rip about someday. The unofficial title, though, was much better, I felt. “Come and Get Drunk, Rip’s Paying! Oh, and There’s Food!” rolls off of the tongue so much better, don’t you think? And that’s what we all did. There was beer, vodka, rum, wine, anything you could want, and, unless you were under 21 or someone’s DD (which usually coincided), you were pretty tanked by the end. Unless you were Rip. Though he bought and paid for it all, he didn’t partake in any of it. Instead, he sat happily sipping on his Coke, joing in on conversations and yucking it up with all of his kids.

Towards the end of the meal, Rip stood up, ringing his glass with his fork. We all turned our attention to our fearless leader and started to laugh. Rip was about to blow up on us when Jean leaned in, pointing out the gravy spots splashed on his cheek. Embarrassed, he took his napkin to his face before beginning.

“Well, that’s a good way to start this little speech, I guess. I guess I just want to start out by thanking everyone for coming out today, and for bringing some food while you were at it. Lisa, Sara, the stuffing was damn near perfect, by the way. You all may not feel the same way, but I consider you family. For a while that was kind of weird, because I had two families. You guys, well, not all of you, but you understand what I’m saying, and I had Jay. And then around 4, 5 years back, Jay came into the family business, and he joined the families. Joined em by marriage. But nor really.

“I want you to know how proud I am to call you family. I wouldn’t give any of you up in a heartbeat. This past year, the family business grew more than it ever has before. Where we’re at now, I never would have expected it back in ‘05. I didn’t even want it. I wanted MAW to be a place where I could take a bunch of green little bastards and see if I could turn ‘em into something resembling a wrestler. Isn’t that right, Vessey?”

“You know it, Rip!” Cameron shouted from across the table, holding his beer up.

“That kid couldn’t work a match if his life depended on it. Thank God I saved him from that crazy uncle Brian of his,” Rip joked. “Now, I know it mind sound like a pansy thing to say, but I don’t really care. Seeing this company grow, seeing all you little bastards grow with it, that changed my mind. MAW’s always gonna be a place for the green ass hell kids to learn, excluding ol’ Larry back there…”

“Watch it, old man,” Larry (Behemoth) joked.

“…but it can be so much more. We sold out the Biker Museum for damn near a year. 2,000 people, twice a month. And now that we moved over to Centerpiece, we’re getting near 1,000 more a show. People want to see MAW. They want to see Cameron, Jay, Jean, and Patriot. Ya’ll aren’t unknowns anymore. You’re stars out here. You’ve made it as wrestlers, but you decided to stick around this dump. You see something in MAW, and so do I. So I want to end this dinner with the announcement of MAW’s ten year plan. Now, I may not be around for the next ten years, but I sure as hell know a bunch of you will. And if you ain’t, I’ll come up to house and kick your ass personally. I don’t care if I’ll be 62...

“You’re 63 now!” Casey Valentine called out.

“Watch it, Casey, I know your dad, too, not just your uncle. Now, I have a vision. One I hope that I share with more than a few of you. In ten years, I can see MAW selling out the biggest arenas in America, in Mexico, in Canada, in Japan. I see us selling out in Europe, in England. Hell, in Australia of all places. Why the hell not? In ten years, MAW is going to be the biggest wrestling company in the world!”

Rip sat, ending the speech on that note, to a chorus of cheers and hollers as we all stood, giving our ‘dad’ a round of applause.

Friday Week 4, November 2012

In front of 2,494 fans in Centerpiece Bridge

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/OzzieGolden.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/MeanJeanCattley.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/vs.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/BulldozerBrandon_alt14.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/LarryWood.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/LisaBowen.jpg

Oscar Golden

&

vs.

“Black Flag” American Patriot

& Behemoth w/ Lisa Bowen

Styles clashed as the technicians Cattley and Golden were forced to contend with the plodding brutes, Patriot and Behemoth. They did what they could to hold their own, though, and after a bit of feeling out, took control of the match by taking advantage of Behemoth’s wild attacks. Using quick tags, Golden and Cattley did what they could to neutralize the big man, but Cattley soon found himself being tossed through the air after attempting to lock an arm bar on him. Behemoth tagged out, and Patriot ran in quickly, keeping the pressure on Cattley, and, as a result, keeping him away from Golden. Patriot hit Cattley with chops and high velocity suplexes, and very nearly finished him with a lariat. Growing frustrated, he tagged out to Behemoth, but not before hitting a few stomps on the prone Cattley. Behemoth came in, stalking Cattley, but when he charged in, looking for his trademark big boot, Cattley rolled under and literally dove to his corner, tagging in Golden. Golden climbed to the top rope quickly and leapt off with a missile dropkick, catching Behemoth flush on the jaw. He stood up in a hurry, hyped up, and began to pace the ring, calling for the fans support. What he didn’t call for, though, was an American Suplex from Patriot, but that’s what he got as Black Flag snuck in behind and absolutely leveled the Canadian. He rolled out the ring immediately after, allowing Behemoth to cover his nemesis for the win.

Patriot and Behemoth win, 65.

C-V-2 reunited

Cameron Vessey:

You ready for this?

Vessey had approached Casey Valentine in his locker room. Valentine didn’t look up from wrapping his wrist as he replied.

Casey Valentine:

…You know I’m ready.

Valentine stood up now, punching each of his palms, testing the wrap.

Casey:

Tonight, they don’t get pretty boy Casey. They don’t get the sidekick, Jay Chord’s ‘lackey.’ Tonight, they get Casey the fighter. They get the Casey that’s gonna get in there and deliver an ass whipping like they’ve never felt before. But not only that, tonight they get C-V-2.

Cam smiled before grabbing his partner’s hand and pulling him in close.

Cam:

That’s what I wanted to hear, brother!

Tracy Brendon vs. Eve Grunge vs.

for the vacant Women’s Championship

With SMY out with injury for the month, she’s been forced to vacate her title, and this match was made to determine her successor. All four women stated their cases over the course, with some very nice, innovative offense coming from each of them. Unfortunately for Eve Grunge, the other women felt she made the weakest one, and dumped her unceremoniously to the outside toward the end. This left Tracy Brendon, Gorgon, and Grinn to finish the match up, and it turned out to be an explosive finish indeed. Gorgon and Grinn, as always, worked together to beat down Brendon, finally finishing her off with a big over the shoulder backbreaker from Grinn. Immediately after she stood, though, Gorgon spun Grinn around and planted her with a huge Hydra Bomb (Powerbomb)! Following the move, Gorgon pinned her partner 1, 2, 3 to become the new Women’s Champion!

Gorgon wins the belt, 41.

Keeping him close at hand...

Prior to the next match, the camera cuts to a balcony in the arena where Adrian Garcia sits comfortably, Ant-Man standing sentry behind him.

AG:

Do you know why you’re here? Why you’re guarding me?

AM:

[His tone flat]

Because you’ve got enemies, and you need a guard, sir.

Garcia frowns.

AG:

No, that’s not why you’re here. If that were the case, I could get Sayeed, or Frost, or Powell. Hell, Harris would do it if I wanted him to. No, Ant-Man, you’re here because I want you to see what’s about to happen. I want you to be witness to Ford Gumble bringing honor to my stable of gods. I want you to see what you could have been. Maybe, and this a massive maybe, witnessing this will help turn you around. You won your match last week, but that’s not enough. Ford is about to show you what is enough, so I want you to pay close attention. I may just get my money’s worth out of you yet.

vs.

Ford Gumble

for the Traditional Title

The match kicked off with some basic chain wrestling that saw Johnson gain the upper hand. He then proceeded to quickly go for a leg lock on Gumble, but Ford squirmed out as soon as he attempted to latch it on. Johnson continued to attack, hitting a snap suplex on Gumble before once again attacking his leg. He hit a number of moves attempting to damage to the right leg of Gumble, including stomps, a knee bar, and a knee breaker. But when Johnson attempting to slap on a Texas cloverleaf, Gumble pushed him off, sending Johnson into the ropes. When Johnson came back, Ford used his good leg to dropkick him in the leg, taking him down. Ford then took the opportunity to put on the pressure, and for several minutes he battered Johnson with kicks, and hit a tornado DDT that nearly earned him the win. Gumble continued to attack after that, but Johnson came back with a series of stiff forearm shots, followed by a discuss forearm that almost got him the win. From here, the two men exchanged a series of near falls, (Ford with a lifting inverted DDT, Johnson with a single leg crab), but Ford made a fatal mistake as he shot off the QUICK DRAW KICK a little too high, allowing Double J to duck under and take him down before locking on a Texas cloverleaf! Johnson had it locked in tight, and Ford was on the verge of tapping out when…

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/TheGrandAvatar.jpg

The dastardly figure appears!

…the mystery man appeared on the big screen.

??:

What are you doing, Jared? Stop trying to win and just lose. It may be an unfamiliar role for you, but it’s the one you play tonight. Accept it.

Hearing him, Jared released the hold, stood up, and walked to the edge of the ring in a fury, cursing at the mystery man.

??:

That’s it Jared, that’s all I wanted…

And with that, the video feed cut away and returned to the match. Still fuming, Jared turned around, turning his focus back -- QUICK DRAW KICK! Ford Gumble used the distraction to recover and absolutely blasted Johnson, who appears to be unconscious! He covers him, 1...2...3! Ford Gumble is the new Traditional champ!

Ford Gumble wins, 58.

Gumble held his championship high in the air as he marched to the back, somehow still willing the smile from appearing on his face. Meanwhile, in the ring, Johnson was just beginning to stir. “What happened?” he mouthed to the ref, but when he turned his head to the entrance, he already knew. A look of anguish appeared on his face. Not one of physical pain, but one born from inner an turmoil. For several minutes, Jared remained in the ring, gripping at his hair, until finally he dropped down, rolled from the ring, and walked to the back, defeated.

MAW's resident business woman...

Next out was Lisa Bowen, who sauntered out onto the stage, a microphone held delicately in one hand.

LB:

I think my reputation speaks for itself. Any wrestler in the back knows that all they have to do is sign on the dotted line, and I will take them straight to the top. I mean, really, I was the at the helm of the greatest tag title reign this company’s ever seen. And if I could take those two losers to the top, then who can’t I?

[Lisa smirks]

I said as much to the next two gentlemen that are about to grace you hicks with their presence, at least. Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce to you my newest clients…

Assassins of the ring...

LB:

…The Ring Generals!

Statler and Waldorf walked out onto the stage next, the crowd booing their decision to join Lisa Bowen vehemently. Lisa just smirked as she led the stone faced wrestlers to the ring.

Team America vs.

w/ Lisa Bowen

While Team America were once rising stars and constant challengers for the tag titles, they stood little chance against The Ring Generals. Waldorf and Statler put the pressure on early and never let up as they picked Hocking and Cool apart. The duo had a short resurgence toward the end, but it was cut short swiftly by Statler, who hit Cool with a back suplex backbreaker to end this mauling.

The Ring Generals win, 53

“Mr. Amazing” Eddie Howard

vs.

ht

In his attempt to show people just how amazing he is, Howard requested this match to show everyone that he could beat the man he once called “boss.” The match kicked off moving at a high octane pace, and never really slowed down. Schaffer controlled the early going, using his quickness to overcome Howard’s strength. That didn’t last long, however, as Howard reversed an attempted arm drag into a clothesline that knocked Trent right out of his boots. With Schaffer reeling, Howard came in and took control with a series of power moves, including a high angle t-bone suplex that nearly ended the match then and there. That’s when Rob Wright decided to get involved. The lackey of Schaffer and former partner of Howard jumped up on the ropes, screaming at Howard. Howard, in turn, approached Wright, listening to him rant for a bit before pie facing him to the floor!

Despite his small victory there, Schaffer was able to capitalize on the distraction, hitting a Thunder Roll (rolling Liger kick) on Howard as he turned his attention back to the mat. Still a bit groggy, Schaffer nonetheless saw his chance to win the match, and he slowly began his ascent to the top rope. Wobbly, he stood up tall before leaping out, aiming his head right at Howard’s…only to find nothing but canvas! Howard rolled away just before Schaffer made contact with the ground, his head bouncing sickly against the canvas. There’s a reason moves like that are called high risk, and Schaffer just discovered the reason as Howard rolled him over and covered him for the win.

Howard wins, 64.

Backstage, Rip Chord stood speaking to his son and Brett Starr.

RC:

Tonight, I will not accept failure from either of you. You have the chance to go out there and prove to everyone that you are generation X, that you’ve inherited that special something that makes you better than those bums. Cameron Vessey doesn’t have, and Casey Valentine sure as hell doesn’t. I always suspected as much out of that little bastard, but he proved it at Showcase, and you both know what happened to him. After tonight, you’re going to put him behind you once and for all, and focus on the real goal: ruling this company. You have all the tools in the world and more, and I’ll be damned if you don’t take advantage of ‘em. You got it?

JC:

Yeah, dad, we got it.

BS:

Relax, Rip, me and Jay don’t have anything to worry about. Even if he was half as good as either of us, we beat on him bad enough that he isn’t gonna be a problem.

JC:

Exactly. We’ve got this match in the bag. And after we win it, we can put all eyes on my championship match. I can already feel that gold around my waist.

RC:

Focus, dammit. Tonight’s important, not a match a month from now. You’ve waited long enough already, I think you can keep it up.

JC:

Yeah, yeah, whatever you say dad…

And with that, Jay and Brett both stood and left the room, leaving Rip shaking his head.

El Mitico was out next, and he waited eagerly in the ring for the reveal of his opponent. Always ready for a fight, Mitico took this match on short notice despite not knowing the identity of his foe. As he waited, a theme well known to TCW fans all over the world erupted through the speakers, and none other than…

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/ChanceFortune.jpg

Former TCW International Champion Chance Fortune!

Chance Fortune sauntered out onto the stage! As the crowd cheered wildly for the newly debuted star, he raised a microphone to his lips.

CF:

Yes, ladies and gentleman, the great Chance Fortune has decided to grace you with his presence and lend an air of legitimacy to this bull**** little company. So, as I always say, consider yourselves…lucky. Yes, consider yourselves lucky that the planets aligned in such a perfect way that Mr. Tommy Cornell himself was so impaired that he allowed the contract of one of the biggest stars in the world to simply run out. Consider yourselves lucky that I’m taking a break from my Manhattan bookings to come down to this backwoods, hick infested, cesspool known as South Carolina. Me? I just consider it to be my smoldering point, preparing me for the day that I inevitably burst out of the ashes and rise to heights unknown. But, as I said, you all can consider yourselves…lucky.

El Mitico

vs.

Chance Fortune

Fortune looked to overwhelm Mitico using his speed to open this one. And, had he been facing anyone else on the MAW roster, he might have succeeded. But Mitico works regularly south of the border and trains with one of the speediest wrestlers in the world, and he was able to keep pace with the TCW standout. Frustrated with his lack of early success, Fortune bailed to the outside, baiting Mitico into following him. When he did, Fortune was able to ram Mitico into the guardrail before quickly hopping up on the apron and hitting an Asai moonsault on the luchadore. Grinning now, Fortune forced him into the ring where he got a quick 2-count. For several minutes, the debutant worked over Mitico with a variety of flashy moves, offering little breathing room. He made a mistake as he attempted a second moonsault, though. Mitico had not been hurt enough to stay down, and he leapt into the ropes, crotching Fortune on the top turnbuckle.

Seeing him hurt set Mitico into action. He pulled Fortune down, forcing him to hang upside down, and then charged in, hitting a brutal looking baseball slide the crumpled Fortune. Alas, it was not enough to put him away. Fortune kicked out after a close two, and Mitico responded by attempting his trademark La Magistral Cradle. Fortune slipped out of it, though, and the two began to trade moves and near falls alike (Fortune hit a nice hurricanrana and brain buster, whereas Mitico came at him with a springboard cross body and tornado arm breaker). The entire sequence came to end, however, with Mitico. The luchadore tripped Fortune and immediately attempted to slap on an arm bar. Fortune fought to escape, but eventually Mitico cranked back and locked in the hold. That said, he was unable to do so before Fortune effectively stacked him on his shoulders, and the ref counted Mitico down 1-2-3 a split second before Fortune tapped out.

Chance Fortune wins, 66.

Chance Fortune laughed and smiled as he held his arm and Mistico looked on in disbelief. He barely had time to ask the ref what had happened, though, before he was blindsided by none other than…

…Behemoth, with Lisa Bowen in trail. Behemoth beat him mercilessly, before finally finishing him off with a sick running boot. With Chance Fortune still in the ring, Lisa turned to him and extended her hand. He looked around a moment before taking her’s in his own, grimacing a little bit, and shaking. Smiling, Lisa Bowen grabbed a microphone.

LB:

I think that ought to teach him to snub me, don’t you boys?

CF:

Oh, most definitely Lisa. I mean, if you have to hide your hideous face behind a mask, you have no business ignoring a specimen such as yourself.

Bowen ****ed her head and smiled.

LB:

You’re such sweet talker Chance. But you, Mitico, are most certainly not. And that’s exactly why I wanted you to be the first to fall to the newly minted Bowen Enterprises. And with Chance Fortune, Behemoth, and The Ring Generals, there’s no way I can be stopped.

C-V-2

vs.

Tag teams reunite tonight, as four former friends all do battle. C-V-2 found success early on, using their experience edge together to work over both members of Generation X equally. Classic spots such as the backbreaker/slingshot leg drop combo were on display as Vessey and Valentine did all they could to finish them off early. Their eagerness came back to bite them, however, as Valentine soon found himself targeted by both Chord and Starr, who effectively cut him off from his corner. This portion of the match saw them stop at nothing in order to try and put away Valentine. In fact, at one point, Valentine downed Starr with a big dropkick, and nearly made it back to his corner, but Chord had climbed into the ring, sprinted across the ring, and delivered a running forearm shot to Vessey, dropping him to the floor.

The match carried on much like this for several minutes until finally, Chord set Valentine up for a superplex. He was able to execute the move, but Valentine was able to turn in midair, landing across Chord’s body, taking both Chord and himself out. Slowly, ever so slowly, both men crawled to their corners, and tagged out at the same time. Both Starr and Vessey came in on fire, but Vessey burned that much brighter and dropped Starr multiple times. As Chord stirred, he set his sights on Vessey, but out of nowhere, Valentine came flying and clotheslined him right out of the ring. Seeing his partner recovered, Vessey slapped his back, calling for the V-Split (Neckbreaker/power bomb combo). Valentine obliged, and the duo hit the move on Starr, leading to Vessey pinning him for the win.

C-V-2 win, 67

As C-V-2 celebrated their way up the ramp, Rip climbed up into the ring, a scowl on his face. Jay climbed in after him, and the two surrounded the now stirring Brett Starr.

RC:

Brett, you disappoint me. I expected this from Valentine, but you? Never. You have the blood of a champion. That, Brett, is the one thing that’s saving you from me putting my boot up your ass. But Brett, there are consequences for losing. I told you this would happen, and I never make empty threats. The punishment is severe, but you deserve every single bit of it. Brett Starr, you’re fired!

The crowd was silent as Brett stared up wide eyed, going back and forth from Rip to Jay.

RC:

Brett, get the hell out of the ring.

JC:

Get the hell out my ring, you loser!

That seemed to be the kick Brett needed, and he lashed out at Rip. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Jay, who locked his head up before delivering a viscous DDT. Rip and Jay then left the ring, heads held high. The camera then panned back to the unmoving body of Brett Starr, and the show closed on that note.

Total: 60

Emark · June 9, 2011

Ooooh, I had an off night picking your card. Jay's on an island to himself with Rip pulling the strings which could mean that Brett has signed with one of the big boys. Plus I can see the build up of Eddie Howard possibly cluminating in a title run maybe the Traditional strap as I see Gumble as a bridge. A good card I felt deserved a better score than it got.

June 9, 2011

I wouldn't say you did too bad. You're kind of right about Brett signing with someone else. PSW. No, he didn't leave us in favor of them, but he did drop out of negotiations after two attempts, so I had to scramble and figure out how to make this work. I was planning on running Valentine/Starr at Night of Champions, but that's been scrapped now.

That said, two stars of mine did just sign with USPW. I won't say who, but I will say I'm disappointed. Disappointed in myself, mostly. I want to make the game a little more challenging, and I happen to have a working agreement with this company. Rip won't let me terminate it, so I'm going to be letting the both of them go soon. I did the same with Remmy Skye, and contemplated doing it with Cattley (They're both signed with TCW) but he's such an important part of MAW that I couldn't let myself get rid of him.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. Simmed forward a few says, and Brett Starr did indeed sign a written with USPW.

Friday Week 1, December 2012

In front of 3,034 fans in Centerpiece Bridge

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/JayChord.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/RipChord_ager.jpg

Like father, like son...

This cold December night kicked off with Jay Chord making his way to the ring. Once he got there, papa Chord stood up from the announce table and joined his son.

JC:

It’s been one year. One year since I won the Rip Chord Invitational. Since then, I’ve had to prove myself over and over again. That’s bull ****. It should have been enough, but it wasn’t. Not for you so-called “fans.” I’ve had to jump hurdle after hurdle to get to this point, and why? Because you don’t appreciate true talent? Because the world would rather have some hack like Cameron Vessey as champ? Well guess what, you don’t always get what you want. And in three weeks time, you’re going to get me as World. Heavyweight. Champion.

RC:

That’s right, ladies and gentleman. It’s been almost 13 years since a Chord was World Heavyweight Champion. Thirteen years. Do you believe that? That’s thirteen years that the wrestling community has had to deal with mediocrity representing it. That’s a sad state if I ever saw one. But that ****’s about to be over. Once again, a Chord’s gonna be on top. You’re going to have a Chord to look up again. Just like you should. Because honestly, we’re just that much damn better than you.

As the crowd booed the pair in the ring, the Vessey Family Fight Song blared through the speakers, and Cameron Vessey and Casey Valentine stepped out on the stage.

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/CameronVessey_alt1.jpghttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/CaseyValentine_alt1.jpg

The champ and Valentine...

CamV:

Celebrating a little early, ain’t ya?

JC:

What’s it matter, if it’s a little early? Me winning at Night of Champions is inevitable. I could have grabbed the belt way back at the Invitational and it would have been fine.

CamV:

Confident, huh? I like it, Jay. But no matter what you say, you aren’t going to win, just like all the other times we tangled in that ring.

JC:

That’s where you’re wrong. But I’m not here to argue. I’m here for two things: One, to beat on that weakling standing next to--

CasV:

Watch it, Jay.

JC:

--and two, to make a little announcement. You see, Cam, being the bosses son has it’s perks. One of them happens to be that I decided what type of match we’re gonna be having.

CamV:

I’ve gotta be honest with you, Jay. It don’t matter a lick what type of match we fight in. I’m gonna beat you no matter what. I know it, these people here know it, hell, the whole world knows it! You’re the only that’s somehow convinced himself that it ain’t true.

JC:

[Jay smirks]

Be that as it may, I couldn’t help setting this match up. I don’t know if you know it or not, but I have a bit of a flair for the dramatic. Which is why, Cam, that I want you in a ladder match. To represent all of the struggles that I’ve dealt with to get to this point, the mountain I’ve had to climb. A near career ending injury in only my third match ever, fighting under the banner of a half crazed woman, being saddled with the likes of him

[Jay points out Valentine]

and Brett Starr. I’ve had so much holding me back, but now, it’s just me, and that’s the way it was meant to be.

CamV:

I’m glad you have taste for drama, Jay, because you probably know a little about irony, too. That’s the feeling you’re gonna get when you watch me climb that ladder and take that belt when you think back on all your words about the world looking up to you!

vs. Cruel Intentions

This was a fairly quick match to kick off the wrestling portion of the show. Even though it was a non title match, Culture Shock retained the high energy that they’re known for, and pumped the crowd up as they refused to relax for this match. In the end, Apollo was able to pin El Rudo after an Island Driver (Pumphandle driver), getting the champs another win as they head into Night of Champions. All champions must defend their title belts, but it’s unknown at this point who the champs will be facing. Will they be able to retain their belts?

Culture Shock win, 56

Josh Jones vs.

Ant-Man

Ant-Man’s in ring resurgence continued tonight as he took on the always game, always dangerous Josh Jones. Jones, a veteran of the Canadian scene, is able to work any style, and he showed off that ability against the power worker, using a combination of speed and technique to keep the former Traditional champ on his toes. That said, Ant-Man showed a new side to himself as he veered away from his usual power wrestling style and more into the territory of traditional, mat based work. In the end, this variance of style paid off as he locked Jones in an Ant-Trap (Dragon clutch) and nearly put him to sleep before Jones eventually tapped.

Ant-Man wins, 47.

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/JaredJohnson.jpg

The Carolina Kid, a tad bit upset...

Jared Johnson came out next, looking highly upset. He stepped into the ring, looked around a bit before deciding to bail to the outside and grab a microphone.

JJ:

Get the hell out here!

Clearly, he was talking to the mystery man that had been making Johnson’s life so rough as of late.

JJ:

Come on, you son of a bitch, I want to see your face! Get your sorry ass--

Just then, the man’s silhouette appeared on the big screen.

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/TheGrandAvatar.jpg

Staring into the unknown...

??:

Uh, uh, uh, Jared. Not tonight. That would be against the plan.

JJ:

Screw the plan! Get out here so I can kick your ass!

??:

This is so unlike you, Jared. Where’s the calm, cool, collected, and oh so dashing Traditional of yesterday? Can it be? No, surely not! Surely, he hasn’t allowed an outside force to drive him to such a point that he acts so unlike himself.

Jared stared at the screen with visible rage. His chest heaved up and down.

??:

And yet, here we are. You stand in the ring, championship-less, and I sit here, proven right. You doubted me, Jared. I said that I would make my name off of you, and I have. I have beaten you, battered you, and stole your championship away, and I’ve yet to even step in the ring with you. I used my mind to defeat you. I laid out a plan, and you fell into each and every trap I set. I hate to say it, but you disappoint. But alas, the plan is not yet complete. Once it’s been set into motion, there’s no stopping it. It must be finished. It’s taken the two of us down a long road, Jared, and that road ends at one place: Night of Champions.

And with that, the video feed died, having presumably announced a match between the two men at Night of Champions.

Kinuye vs.

for the Women’s championship

The newly crowned Women’s champion came out with one purpose tonight: to punish. This singular goal made it an unfortunate night for young challenger Kinuye, who found herself on the wrong end of a one-sided beating from Gorgon. After a period of offense in which Kinuye managed to get in a couple of measly, desperate strikes, Gorgon finished her foe off with a massive Hydra Bomb (Sitout power bomb) to successfully complete her first title defense.

Gorgon retains, 49

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/Randomf7.jpg

Mentally unhinged...

As soon as the match ended, Grinn’s music hit, and the sinister smiler popped out of the curtain and made her way to the ring, erratically approaching her (former) partner. The entire time, she kept her eyes locked on Gorgon, despite the constant twitches her head made. Before she could quite make it into the ring, however, another star’s music hit, and none other than…

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/SaraMarieYork.jpg

Understandably upset...

SMY herself, the former Women’s champ stepped out on the stage! As the fans cheered her return, she raised a microphone to her lips.

SMY:

Whoah, whoah, whoah! You keep your butt where it is, Grinn. I’ve got something to say. The two of you put me on the shelf for a month, taking my title in the process, and I want it back. Not only that, but in the short time I was gone, I come back to find the two of you have already turned on each other! So try and imagine how disappointed I was when I found out that I wouldn’t get to get revenge on the both of you at once. But you see, I found a solution to that problem. Seeing as how none of us can stand any of the others, I propose a nice little triple threat match, with one tiny little stipulation: losers leave town!

The crowd roared at the announcement.

SMY:

Three women enter, and only one leaves. With a job, I guess I should say. So whaddya say? Oh, wait, it doesn’t really matter. I already got Rip to book the match. See ya at Night of Champions, ladies!

As SMY’s music played once again and she walked to the back, Gorgon stood as emotionless in the ring as ever, while Grinn took the news somewhat harder. She dropped to her knees outside the ring and began rocking back and forth, grasping at her mask while letting loose a series of howls/shrieks.

Ant-Man and Powell walked backstage, speaking in hushed voices to one another.

P:

You know how stupid an idea this is? We’re under contract. We’re stuck with him no matter what!

AM:

We can work around that. If we show Rip that we’re good enough to keep around afterward, I’m sure he’ll buy the contracts. Garcia’s a businessman, he won’t keep around a couple of bad employees just so they can make his life a living a hell. Besides, we need to do this. We’ve got to get out of this ****.

P:

It’s **** to you, not me. Garcia pays me well for what I do, and I don’t do much. All I do is beat up on some losers twice a month and I get a great paycheck. Why are you so intent on ruining a good thing?

Ant-Man stopped and turned to Powell.

AM:

Because Garcia ruined a good thing in me, damn it. I’m going to pay him back and everyone that’s with him. I don’t want that to be you, too.

Powell sighed.

P:

Jesus, man, alright, I’ll help. What do we gotta do?

AM:

Well…

The two of them continued walking and rounded the corner, out of sight.

The Southern Drawl and the Canadian Blonde

DH:

Howdy ya’ll, I’m Duke Hazard, and I’m standin’ by here with the Canadian Blonde hisself, Oscar Golden. Oscar, word on the street is that you’ve got yourself an announcement to make here tonight.

Golden smiled.

OG:

That’s right, Duke. I’m here to talk about one “Black Flag,” or The Artist Formerly Known as American Patriot. You see, last time I was in MAW, our roles were reversed. I played the villainous foreigner, and he was the heroic local boy fighting me off. But people change, and if you’ve been paying attention for the past year and a half, you’d see that he’s nothing more than a bully, a brute that picks on anyone and everyone smaller or weaker than him. Me though, well, I think I’ve proved that I’m a pretty decent guy that just so happens to have a little bit of sophistication, and despite my love of all things fine, I’m not afraid to get down in the dirt and put in work. That, my good friend, is why I’m issuing a formal challenge to Patriot.

Golden’s straightened his mouth and he stared right at the camera.

OG:

Patriot, at Night of Champions, I’m going to go out to the ring. I’m going to wrap my wrists, throw on my pads, and I’m going to get ready for a street fight. Now, I’ve already said that I’m going to be out there. Will you? I really hope you don’t turn out to be a coward. Oh, but does me calling you that offend you?

Golden shrugged.

OG:

Oh well. It’s not like it’s the first time someone’s called you that this year.

Miller Fforde w/ Cam Jones vs.

The Great Ota

Fforde and Ota put on a pretty good little match here. Despite having the odds stacked heavily against him, Fforde performed well against the viscous and seasoned veteran. Ota may have come in a little overconfident, but that doesn’t take away from the early success the high flying youngster had. Eventually, though, the relentless effort that Ota always puts forth proved to be too much, and Fforde succumbed to a Ninja Strike (Shining Wizard) set up with a Tarantula Lock.

Ota wins, 62.

Bowen Enterprises, freshly formed

Next up, the Lisa Bowen-led Bowen Enterprises made their way to the ring. Once in the ring, Lisa grabbed a microphone and smiled as she looked at the talent surrounding. The Monster Behemoth, The Ring Generals, and “Lucky” Chance Fortune all made for dangerous foes alone, but together, they were to made to be feared.

LB:

Ladies and gentleman, what you see before you are the greatest stars this promotion has ever seen, all gathered under one great banner: Bowen Enterprises. Together, they form the greatest stable this company has ever seen, and they all answer to one person…ME!

She paused for effect as the chorus of boos rained down on her.

LB:

Boo all you want, but it’s true. And to prove it to you, I’ve arranged a little series of matches for themat Night of Champions, against the jokes that call themselves “The Alliance of Honor.” Hmmph. Losers. First up, the 7 foot, 325 pound monster Behemoth goes chest-to-face with the masked midget, El Mitico. Shouldn’t have blown me off, loser. Then, The Ring Generals are going to bring the first bit of gold to our little outfit as they beat down Fire Fly and Apollo. People, if you want to see greatness in action, please, give us your money and pa for this show. The beating will certainly be worth it.

She smiled, but that was soon cut off as Pride echoed through the arena, and none other than…

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/coco_beans08/Johnny%20Heizenger/MeanJeanCattley.jpg

"Firm" Jean Cattley

Jean Cattley stepped out on the stage.

JC:

Lisa, didn’t Daddy Bowen ever teach you not to say anything if you can’t back up whatever it is that comes out of your mouth. The greatest stable this company’s ever seen?

Cattley smiled. Or, the closest thing to a smile formed itself on his face. He might have been grimacing.

JC:

I think we all know what stable really deserves that honor.

LB:

Look here, old man--

Chance Fortune gently grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

CF:

Lisa, baby, I got this. [He turns to face Cattley] Jean Cattley! MAW’s very own crotchety old man! I’ve been told every promotion has their version of the old guy who doesn’t know when to call it quits, and I guess you fall under that category. So Jean, I’m gonna do you and everyone else a favor. I’m gonna speed up your impending retirement. So whaddya say, old man? Feel like stepping in the ring with a young buck such as myself.

JC:

Kid, I’d be happy to make you tap. Let’s do this.

CF:

That’s good, Jean. I guess I can put you on my list as the first of many wrestler’s I’m gonna retire, then. Oh, and one more thing. You’re going to be stepping in the ring with a future hall of famer, so, consider yourself…lucky.

Frenetic action took place in this match, announced to be Lee Rivera’s last with the company. Everyone was able to get their trademark spots and big moves in, but it was Rivera who truly shined. Though the match as relatively even, every time the flyer took the ring he electrified. Perhaps the motivation of wanting to leave one lasting impression on the fans was what did it; who really knows, though. What we do know, is that Rivera was absolutely dominant, and finished the match with a spectacular Daredevil Drop on Citizen X after his partner Eddie Cornell hit him with a German suplex.

The London Seeker Connection and Mr. Amazing win, 61.

After the bell rang, Rivera remained in the ring to celebrate, and his partner Eddie Cornell embraced him before raising his hand in victory in an emotional moment. The fans, eager to see him again, chanted “Please come back,” as he had become a part of one of the most popular duos in the company.

w/ Cameron Vessey vs.

w/ Rip Chord

Watching these two fight, you’d never guess that they were at one time good friends. Completely bypassing the wrestling portion of the product, these two simply fought for the better of 20 minutes. More than once the action spilled to the outside, and each time, Rip did his best to get involved in the action. Unfortunately for him, so did Cam Vessey, who cut him off each time he came at Valentine. As the match wore on, Valentine began to gain the upper hand on Chord, and as the brawled on the outside, was able to pull a Valentine’s Kiss (Standing leg drop to the back of the head) out of nowhere! He rolled Jay in the ring, covered him, and the ref counted 1...2...no, Jay kicked out! Frustrated, Valentine got up and began to ascend the turnbuckles, looking for a top rope Valentine’s Kiss. Jay had it scouted, though, and was able to throw himself at the ring ropes, knocking Valentine off balance and crotching him. Grabbing him by the head, Jay then dragged him out and nailed him with a Super DDT to score the win and earn him some momentum heading into Night of Champions.

Jay wins, 64

Cameron immediately entered the ring to check on Valentine. As he did so, Jay obnoxiously celebrated all the way to the back, doing his best to berate each and every fan that dare boo him.

Total: 58

TEW.com presents …

The 2012 Mid Atlantic Wrestling Night of Champions

On December 26, MAW will put on a three hour epic broadcast for all of the world to see on TEW.com.

The first attraction will see Lisa Bowen’s newly christened stable, Bowen Enterprises, put to the test against La Alianza del Honor and MAW veteran “Mean” Jean Cattley. El Mitico finds himself taking on the hulking Behemoth, Cattley will do battle with newcomer Chance Fortune, the TCW star himself, whereas Tag Team champions Culture Shock defend their belts against The Ring Generals. Will Bowen Enterprises make their mark in MAW at the expense of the heroes, or will the good guys take this series?

Sara Marie York makes her return to in ring action as she competes against both Gorgon and Grinn in an attempt to once again capture the Women’s Championship from the women that stole it from her. But, as an added stipulation, since the former cohorts Grinn and Gorgon are now on the outs, the match has been turned into a losers leave MAW match. None of this women can seem to coexist with the others, so the last woman standing will be the last one left in MAW!

The last time Oscar Golden and American Patriot faced off, the fans were booing Golden and cheering wildly for Patriot. Since returning to MAW, Golden’s turned over a new leaf while Patriot’s shown himself to be a sour apple. To put down this bullying threat, Golden has put forth a challenge to Patriot, naming the match a street fight. Will Patriot show up? If he does, will Golden be able to fight him off?

The Traditional Championship will be put on the line in a somewhat untraditional match. Newly crowned champ Ford Gumble makes his first defense in a 6-man scramble match, competing against fellow Adrian Garcia hires Frost and Powell as well as Eddie Cornell, Eddie Howard, and The Great Ota. Will the Loaded Gun be able to return his title belt, or will he fail to match his opponents in pins/submissions?

For the past several months, Jared Johnson tore his way through the midcard of MAW, and looked excellent doing so. It wasn’t until recently that we learned that all of his success (and recent failings) are the direct result of careful planning on the part of a shadowy mystery man. The once calm, confident Johnson has since become somewhat unhinged since learning this, which, if you believe the mystery man, was his intent all along. Now, at Night of Champions, he finally reveals himself and attempts to defeat Jared Johnson himself in an attempt to make a name for himself and reach the culmination of his plans.

Finally, the main event of the night. Jay Chord and Cameron Vessey have feuded throughout the year, but it seems like this meeting might be the one that the rivalry hinges on. Currently, Vessey holds the edge when it comes to wins in the rivalry, but Jay Chord has always shown himself to be a dangerous foe. And this is no ordinary match. No, this will be MAW’s first ladder match since The Awesomeness defeated Team America in April of 2010. The hate is there, the risk is there, and the stakes are there, meaning this match has all the makings to possibly become the greatest in MAW’s 7 year history.
