Supreme Wrestling Federation: Dark Days


Recommended Posts

You know I'll be reading; as most of the GDS community. :D You've been one of the most celebrated writers here for a reason. I hope this project brings you joy as you go forward with your latest vision of the SWF.

 

 

Marc DuBois vs Joe Sexy

DuBois is a hot up-and-comer but Joe Sexy is a great person to keep somewhat strong in the midcard (defeating lower carders but losing to the Main Eventers). Honestly, you could go the other way but I really like Sexy in this one. I guess it all depends on if you're looking to develop a youngster straight away or not.

 

Pure Power (Runaway Train & Everest) vs Bombs Away (Captain Atomic & American Machine)

I'll be honest, I'm a Train fan. That said, I would love to see 'Pure Power' stand out as a big-time SWF tag team (as I feel they fit the product really well). Then again, much like above, it all depends on if you're looking to develop a youth movement or not.

 

Remo & Vengeance vs Lobster Warrior & Jungle Lord

Remo + Vengeance = A team from Hell itself.

The Champs retain.

 

Jack Bruce vs Enforcer Roberts

There's no way Bruce drops this one. Roberts has his place on the roster, and does it pretty well, but that place does not having him defeating people like Jack Bruce. That said, I'd love to see Roberts actually 'do something' in this project as he's often left behind simply because of his age.

 

Angry Gilmore vs Rich Money

Personal Choice. Plus, I foresee you trying to stray away from making this project 'Generation Supreme 2.0'. In the first go-around, Money was, arguably, your biggest character. While I'm sure he'll have a great run this time around too, as he's a great wrestler/entertainer/character, I'm sure you'll look to allow others to shine. Overall, it depends on your relationship with the guy. There are characters out there we all push regardless of the project or company (ie: for me it's Teddy Powell); maybe Money is that guy for you? I guess we'll see.

Thanks Eisen-Verse. Its great to be able to start a new project and receive the kind of support I have on here thus far. At the same time, those expectations that come with it can be a bit intimidating, as you well know. I wasn't really sure about "coming home" to the SWF for that reason. But as I wrote the first show, things just felt so natural. Even though the character are all at least a bit different, it just feels right. I just hope this first show end up being as fun to read as it has been to write.

"Going Home" is certainly scary. I tried and I found myself floundering pretty soon thereafter as I felt most of my intro ideas were not all that interesting to me in the end. That said, that 'natural feeling' is a good thing to have (as it's something I didn't feel with PSW sadly enough).

 

If it's been a fun one to write then I'm sure it will bleed out into the actual write-up. Really, the best writers are those who, seemingly, make this a labor of love. You, my friend, will deliver; I'm sure.

 

Intimidating is good; at least I believe. That way, you're 'on-your-toes' going forward.

 

Cheers.

Peter Michaels + Duane Fry + Ana Garcia

 

_____________________________________________

 

The broadcast kicks off with the standard action-packed intro, set to the pounding current hard rock theme song for Supreme TV. The video fades into a wide shot of the Manhattan Sports Garden, the self-proclaimed “world's premier sporting arena”. Considered the home of the Supreme Wrestling Federation, the famous arena is not quite filled to capacity but the infamous New York City fans are in full voice. MSG is an intimate setting for such a big arena, with the fans in the upper levels right in over the action. Like an arena rock show, a series of pyrotechnics go off about the arena while the lights put on a show.

 

The boom camera pans across the crowd, then swings quickly back again. Combined with the constant movement of the crow and the pounding music, it makes for a slightly disorienting viewing moment.

 

The shot gradually closes in on the three familiar faces seated in the cozy announcer's booth that is tucked into the front of the massive stage and ramp set up that is part of the current SWF Supreme Empire set. In a rather theatrical zoom, the shot closes in on the trio until its a standard close up of Peter Michaels, Duane Fry, and Ana Garcia.

 

Peter Michaels: Welcome to the World's Premier Sporting Arena... Manhattan Sports Garden. I am Peter Michaels and I'm here tonight with Duane Fry and the lovely Ana Garcia.

Duane Fry: Evening all. We're in for a big night tonight. A big night!

Ana Garcia: Every night is a big night in the Supreme Empire.

Duane Fry: Big indeed...

 

Before any of the trio can say more, the theme music fades.

Eric Eisen

In-Ring Promo

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwhBRJStz7w?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width="27"></object>

 

The cheering crowd instantly turns hostile at the first strains of the entrance music. The new music announces the arrival of the SWF World Heavyweight champion Eric Eisen. “The Supremacist” earns a wall of hated before he even appears. When he does emerge through the Empire Gateway, the verbal hatred becomes even more solid and undeniable. There is no hesitation from the 31 year old as he struts confidently down to the ring. He is attired in a perfectly tailored suit and he carries the SWF World Heavyweight championship over his shoulder, holding it tight as one might hold an infant.

 

Before climbing the stairs into the ring, Eisen grabs the microphone from its standard location on the time keepers table. He gives the SWF's long-time time-keeper a disdainful look. Inside the ring, the champion walks a slow circle. The vocal displeasure of the crowd abates slowly and he waits it out so he can actually speak.

 

Eric Eisen: Once again... Welcome to the Supremacist Era...

 

The wave of boos rises again. The champion rides it out by smirking, strutting around the ring, and pointing to his championship belt repeatedly.

 

Eric Eisen: Just like Jack Bruce, you are all going to have to wrap your little minds around that and come to accept it eventually. Because it isn't changing. This is not changing. Before I go any further, I should remind all of you that in two weeks....

 

He says this slowly, then pauses and holds up two fingers, as if the entire crowd is made up of slow-witted children.

 

Eric Eisen: I will defeat Jack Bruce for the fourth time...

 

The champion stops again. He holds up four fingers, taking the time to the fans on each side to make sure they understand the number four.

 

Eric Eisen: Four times. “Show Time” needs to accept that his time in the sun is over. This is no longer his belt and he is not getting it back. He cannot beat me... but I am more than happy to continue to prove that to him. That is just a reminder, as I am not out here to talk about Jack Bruce. No, the reason I'm out here is Rich Money.

 

The fans pop at the mere mention of Money's name, much as they do for the mention of Jack Bruce.

 

Eric Eisen: So Rich Money feels he should be the number one contender. He believes he's being discriminated against. The world isn't fair, Rich, is that it? Of course the world isn't fair. You're just like me – you grew up with every advantage in life. You should know better than most that life isn't fair. The Supreme Empire is just like life – it favors the strong. There was nothing fair about my knee injury – and you know that more than most. I could have wallowed in self-pity, as you seem intent to do. Instead, I recreated myself. I took control of the situation. I proved that I was strong. So prove yourself. Don't whine about it. That's what the weak do.

 

The fans boo this as Eisen stops and nods solemnly. The reinvented “Double E” projects a level of arrogance he simply could not muster prior to his devastating knee injury.

 

Eric Eisen: Last week, I offered you a role in the main event of The World is Watching, Money. I want an answer. You want to be in the main event against me, I know. This is as close as you are going to get. Accept the offer. Take your role. You talk about being a better man than me, Money. A bigger man. So be the bigger man. Accept.

 

The SWF World Heavyweight champion nods, as if agreeing with himself. He drops the microphone and moves to the side of the ring. Instead of climbing out, he leaps to the second turnbuckle and holds the coveted title aloft. The fans boo and Eric Eisen glories in it.

Peter Michaels: First up on the night we will see “The Prodigy” Marc DuBois take on Joe Sexy.

Ana Garcia: I wonder if he'll have his little friend with him?

Duane Fry: If you mean Amor, maybe...

Ana Garcia: What else would I mean.... oh...

Joe Sexy vs Marc DuBois

 

As Fry points out during Sexy's entrance, the popular wrestler still comes to the ring with the same shimmying, hip-thrusting shuffle as he did when the fans hated him. But ever since he was betrayed by his friends in the fall of 2009, the fans love it. And love him. He gets a pretty big reaction. He does come down to the ring without his protege, Antonio Amor. DuBois has Paul Huntingdon with him, so he might need the backup.

 

The bell rings and the pair circle before locking up. They disengage just as quickly. The lock up, then disengage again. Sexy seems to be annoyed at the younger wrestler, assigning DuBois blame for the tentative start to the match. Sexy ends up pleasing the crowd by doing a little shuffle leading into some trademark hip-trusts. Another lockup has the same result, so Sexy dances a bit more for the fans. DuBois counters with dancing of his own. The proceedings become more dance-off than wrestling match, but the fans approve. It switches abruptly back to a wrestling match when DuBois lashes out with a sudden kick to the gut of Sexy. “The Prodigy” tries to capitalize quickly, going for an immediate pin but he gets just a one-count. The younger wrestler is unable to control things for long before the veteran battles back. DuBois goes for his Model Solution sleeper finisher, but Sexy won't allow it to be locked in, rolling out. He takes control of the action moments later after a big shoulder block off the ropes, followed up by an inverted atomic drop. He then gets a huge reaction from the fans when he delivers a Sexy Strut Drop that ends up with him smashing a fist into DuBois' face. Huntingdon chooses this moment to get involved, climbing onto the ring apron and protesting the damage to his tag team partner's model-like visage. DuBois attempts to use the distracted referee to his advantage, kneeling in front of his opponent and lashing out with a shot clearly intended for the Sexy family jewels. The veteran is too wily, blocking it with a twist of his hips. He glares at DuBois, slowly shaking his head and wagging a finger. Realizing he's in trouble, the youngster tries to make an escape, but Sexy grabs a leg before he can slide out. The fans roar their approval as Sexy delivers a series of strikes that seems endlessly. He finally his his One Night Stand twisting neckbreaker, which allows him score the pinfall and secure the win.

 

Joe Sexy Wins at 10:19 via Pinfall

Reaction: Solid Opener

Peter Michaels: Welcome back, fans. We are going to ignore standard Supreme protocol right now and take you backstage, where we are told something is going on...

Duane Fry: Seems like something is always going on back there....

Marat Khoklov, Randy Bumfhole & Zimmy Bumfhole

Backstage Segment

 

The camera moves rapidly down a backstage hallway in the Manhattan Sports Garden. Its painted cinder block walls and bare concrete floors. The camera turns a corner and comes upon The Amazing Bumfholes standing at the edge of some type of backstage lounge area. There is carpet, a couple of sofas, and several vending machines. Marat Khoklov is standing before one of the vending machines, a Pepsi machine, and its clear that the “something going on” is one of his epic rages.

 

The monstrous Russian dwarfs the Pepsi machine as he stands before it. Its not merely his massive size that is unbelievable, but his Titan physique. It very much makes him appear like th villain out of a comic book who has stepped out of the pages into reality. Even in street clothes, his hulking mass of muscles can be seen beneath.

 

The camera hangs back on the opposite side of the lounge area, beside the Bumfhole brothers. Randy watches the proceedings, though Zimmy is talking on his cell phone and barely seems to be paying attention to the scene unfolding before them.

 

Marat Khoklov: Сдуру капиталистическая машина, возвращает мою рублевку немедленно.

Zimmy Bumfhole (into phone): No dude, its wicked! So much better this year. The online is epic! Seriously, if we weren't on the road, we wouldn't leave our house!

Marat Khoklov: MARAT SMASH!

 

The Soviet Science Experiment begins to unleash a series of blows that shake the poor defenseless vending machine. The plastic front cracks and then shatters. Randy Bumfhole, just barely visible in the foreground, slowly pulls his cellular phone out of his pocket and holds it up, recording the event beside the SWF cameraman.

 

The massive Russian continues to assault the machine, the heavy blows getting heavier. He suddenly wraps his huge arms around it, lifting the heavy device and then hurling it across the lounge area. The electrical cord rips out of the outlet. The vending machine lands on a sofa, smashing it and putting a huge hole in the drywall behind the sofa.

 

Randy Bumfhole: Whoa! Dude!

 

Suddenly...

 

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/TEW%202010/Workers/SWF%20Workers%20Small/AngryGilmore2Small.jpg

Angry Gilmore

 

Gilmore appears out of nowhere, racing across the lounge area and leaping onto Khoklov's back. The Canadian tries to lock in some type of martial arts choke.

 

Angry Gilmore: Calm down, Marat. Calm down. No Marat Smash!

 

The Russian is not happy to have Gilmore on his back. He snaps forward, flipping Gilmore forward. The Straight Edge Warrior is flung forward, landing hard across a sofa and rolling over the back of it.

 

Marat Khoklov: Никакое останавливая Marat, мой новый друг.

 

His sudden rage over just as suddenly, the SWF's resident monster stalks off the same direct as Gilmore appeared from. Angry himself picks himself up from behind the coach. He scowls at the tag team and the cameraman.

 

Angry Gilmore: Shows over, you pathetic voyeurs.

 

Gilmore stomps off the same direction as the giant. Randy slowly lowers his cell phone. Zimmy, still rather oblivious to what happened, is still talking on his.

 

Zimmy Bumfhole: No, dude, we totally have hit up that new club when we're in town. It'll be EPIC!

Duane Fry: Remind me never to go backstage without an escort again.

Bombs Away vs Pure Power

 

The veteran duo boast a huge size advantage in this one, even though the patriotic pair are hardly small men themselves. Even adding the weight of manager BJ O'Neill along with the Bombs Away pair still doesn't bring them very close to the total combined weight of Train and Everest. The match starts off with American Machine taking on Runaway Train, and the huge former SWF World champion quickly takes over. They attempt to isolate Machine, which works for just a short bit before Everest proves too slow to keep the tactic going. Atomic and Machine do some good quick work, with the crowd getting behind the young Captain when he goes toe-to-toe with Runaway Train. The former champion finds he can't intimidate or bully the solid and muscular “Wrecking Machine”. Both teams make a few quick tags, although “quick” is relative when it comes to Everest. The fan favorite duo end up double-teaming the huge Everest, working together to get him up for a big slam. Captain Atomic goes for the pin while American Machine ensures that Train doesn't interfere. BJ O'Neill celebrates with her team after they take the win that is something of an upset.

 

Bombs Away Win at 7:22 via Pinfall

Reaction: Bathroom Break but Watchable

Duane Fry: Everest looked like a bit of a turtle on his back there...

Jack Bruce & Sean McFly

Locker Room Segment

 

Jack Bruce is seated on the bench in a small private locker room. Its not a particular luxurious space, but the former champion looks comfortable enough. He is wearing street clothes and reading a folded over magazine. There is a light rap on the door and the former champion looks up.

 

Jack Bruce: Sean. Come in.

 

The camera pivots to catch Sean McFly stepping through the doorway. He doesn't seem to immediately notice the camera.

 

Sean McFly: Hey Jack... I mean Mr. Jack... I mean... uh... ohhh...

 

The 36-year old former champion trails off as he spots the camera in the corner that's pointed directly at him. He freezes, staring into it. He does not seem comfortable at all.

 

Sean McFly: You have... your own... camera...

 

Bruce smiles as he puts down the magazine. It's a smile devoid of humor or happiness, just a reflexive facial expression. He stands up, stretching.

 

Jack Bruce: And cameraman. See, the powers that be in Supreme believe that "Show Time" is going crazy. That the "Long Island Angel" is losing his marbles. Baby, I was never sane in the first place!

 

Bruce grins again, but with genuine humor this time.

 

Jack Bruce: So they have this guy and his camera following me around because what's the point of having one of your superstars lose his mind if you can't at least broadcast it live for the world to see?

Sean McFly: So he... follows you around?

 

The camera bobs up and down, as if giving answer before Jack can.

 

Jack Bruce: Yup. Just at the arena, though.

Sean McFly: What's his name?

 

The camera shakes back and forth, essentially saying no.

 

Jack Bruce: He won't tell me. So I just call him Little Bruce.

 

McFly says nothing, simply staring into the camera.

 

Jack Bruce: So... ignoring Little Jack... Did you drop by for a specific reason.

Sean McFly: Oh, uh... yeah. You aren't actually going crazy, are you?

Jack Bruce: No more than ever.

Sean McFly: Oh... That's good then... I suppose...

Jack Bruce: And your question?

Sean McFly: Tag team.... I uh have a tag match next week and I need a partner...

Jack Bruce: And you're asking me to be your partner.

Sean McFly: Uh... yeah!

Jack Bruce: I'd be glad to.

Sean McFly: Awesome!

 

Bruce offers his hand, and McFly enthusiastically shakes it. And like that, a team is born.

 

Sean McFly: I'll um, leave you and Little Bruce be then. Thanks and see you next week.

 

Bruce nods and watches McFly leave. When the door clothes, he slowly nods to himself. Then he paces back and forth across the small private locker room, muttering under his breath.

 

Jack Bruce: It's Show Time... It's Show Time... It's Show Time... It's Show Time...

 

As this odd bit of self-motivation continues, the cameraman Little Bruce zooms in on the magazine that the former champion was reading and left on the bench. Its the newest issue of Supreme Empire magazine. The article that Bruce was reading can be seen... The headline reads: “Show Time on Decline – Is Jack Bruce Losing It?”

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/TEW%202010/TV/Banners/Small/SupremeTVBannerSmall.jpghttp://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/TEW%202010/TV/Banners/Small/SupremeTVBannerSmall.jpg

 

Duane Fry: I have to say that I'm definitely looking forward to this next tag team match. Two really interesting teams. If either decided to be a team on a regular basis, they would be a clear threat to the SWF World Tag Team championship belts.

Peter Michaels: I would have to agree with that assessment, Duane.

Remo & Vengeance vs Lobster Warrior & Jungle Jack

 

There are few possible teams that would be more physically intimidating than Remo and Vengeance. Standing 6'8” and weighing 315 pounds, he is chiseled muscle. But rather than the unreal body-builder muscles of Khoklov, Remo simply looks like a super-sized version of the modern professional athlete. Yet even he is dwarfed by Vengeance, who is 6'10” and 305 pounds. The big man has recently changed his look again, his half-mask and face paint combination giving way to a full mask that covers his entire visage and looks like a skull. He wears a battered and ripped black trench coat over the black ring gear, which includes a black chest protector over his heavily-tattooed torso. The pair simply ignore the boos from the fans as they come down to the ring. There is a pretty good pop for the babyface pair. They are an odd pair – the well-rounded, technical wrestler who just happens to dress up as a lobster and the quiet big man who turns into a brawling wild man as soon as the match starts.

 

Warrior and Remo start things out, and there is no slow start here. Warrior immediately tries to lock up Remo and take him down. It works, but Remo simply powers his way out. After the big man inflicts some damage, both men tag in their partners. The crowd shows their appreciation when Jungle Lord shows no fear and goes toe-to-toe, blow-for-blow with Vengeance. A headbutt from the metal mask that Vengeance wears puts Jungle Lord down, but he refuses to stay down, managing to tag in Lobster Warrior. The man-lobster does well for a few moments before a shot to the lower back from Remo on the ring apron slows him down. The hated pair then begin to work him over fiercely. They double team him as the referee is inadvertently distracted by Jungle Lord, who has more a bit of difficultly communicating during the match. In addition to the double teams, the heels work some quick tags and hammer on the poor Lobster.

 

On commentary, Fry spends a significant amount of time through the match defending why the “Surf n' Turf” moniker he has saddled the babyface pair with is a valid tag team name. Michaels and Garcia aren't buying it, but Fry is determined.

 

There is a roar from the fans when Warrior is finally able to make the hot tag. Jungle Lord comes in roaring, smashing at Remo and Vengeance in an utterly primeval manner. It puts the big tandem on their heels for a time, but they are too experienced and crafty to be overwhelmed by Lord's approach. Remo's suddenly hits a huge spinebuster on the 288-pound wild-man. Remo and Vengeance combine for a big suplex that rattles the ring. Not the legal man, Vengeance goes for his feared Skull Krusher inverted pile-driver. Remo knocks the still-recovering Warrior off the ring apron, then shows off his athleticism by springboarding over the ropes onto the floor and onto Lobster Warrior. As the crowd is still reacting to that move, Vengeance is delivering his finisher and pinning Jungle Lord for the victory.

 

Remo & Vengeance Win at 12:19 via Pinfall

Reaction: Entertaining Violence

Rich Money & Ana Garcia

Backstage Promo

 

“The Lone Wolf” Rich Money is on the backstage interview set with Ana Garcia. The hard-edged babyface does not look happy at all.

 

Ana Garcia: I'm here with Rich Money, and we...

Rich Money: Let's spare the pleasantries, Ana. Everyone knows why we're here. Eric Eisen wants to mess with Money. He doesn't have balls to face me one-on-one in the ring. So he plays his little games. But you can only play with Money for so long before you get burned.

 

Money stops, glaring at the camera. He hasn't really lost the heelish mannerisms at this point, but the fans love him regardless. He rubs the stubble on his chin. Ana looks as though she wants to ask another question, but she holds her tongue.

 

Rich Money: This game between us started three years ago. Two years... two years ago... You know, I actually felt bad for what happened two years ago. Now I wish I'd finished the job.

 

Ana looks taken aback by the statement.

 

Rich Money: I'll be the bigger man, Eisen. I am the bigger man. The better man. You want me to be the referee for your match with Jack Bruce? Fine, I'll put on the stripes. I'll do my job and call it down the middle. But we both know you can't avoid me for much longer. I am the number one contender for that belt. And when we do step into that ring again. I'm going to make you regret it all. All your games and deceptions and tricks. I'm money, and don't you ever forget it.

 

With that Money stalks off the set. Ana Garcia looks taken aback. She composes herself and gives the camera a seductive smile.

 

Ana Garcia: And there we have our answer. Back to the boys in the booth.

Peter Michaels: Welcome back to the booth, Ana. Money certainly seemed forceful tonight.

Ana Garcia: I was just trying to do my job...

The Amazing Bumfholes vs Team Tenacity

SWF World Tag Team Championship Match

 

These are two teams which have become quite familiar to each other in recent months, as they've faced each other numerous times – both in straight tag team action and in multi-teams matches. When facing each other directly, it always makes for an interesting dynamic as neither team plays the heel. They split the fan support in half.

 

The two teams showcase the best of SWF tag team action. Its fast-paced with continual action. The Bumfholes are the peak of tag team continuity in the Supreme Empire – significantly experienced together and both individually skilled. Valiant and Giedroyc lack that same degree of experience, but they are also quite skilled as well as determined, much as their name suggests. The double eye candy at ringside for the champions, Dawn the Cheerleader and Hannah, are plenty active as their cheer their boys along but they stay uninvolved. As the match approaches the ten minute mark, the action gets intense and all four men are in the ring for an extended period. Referee Shane Stones attempts to regain control of the action, but fails. A big cross-cross sequence off the ropes results in the Bumfholes both hitting big leg lariats, following it up with tandem Bumfhole Buster whiplash slams. They both go to the top rope and attempt Bumfhole in One frog splashes. Giedroyc gets out of the way, rolling through and pinning Randy B. Stones hesitates for a second, as he is unsure who the legal men are by this point, but he begins to count out the three just as Z-Bum rolls back onto Valiant and goes for the pin. The referee ignores the second pin attempt by the challengers and calls for the bell.

 

The champions and the double managers celebrate as the Bumfhole brothers argue with referee Stones. The pair look frustrated, but end up congratulating the champions in a show of good sportsmanship.

 

Team Tenacity Win at 10:02 via Pinfall

Reaction: Solid Tag Team Action

Ana Garcia: Awfully close by the Bumfhole boys there.

Duane Fry: But not close enough.

Brandon James, Emma Chase & Ana Garcia

Backstage Interview[/b]

 

The trio are on standard SWF backstage interview set. Ana Garcia is about to begin the introduction when the microphone is simply snatched out of her hand by the statuesque ice queen, Emma Chase.

 

Emma Chase: This isn't an interview. Its a statement. Your “services” are not needed. Now get off my set, you slut.

 

Looking so shocked she might as well have been slapped, the color commentator slash interview specialist turns and stomps off the set. James, with the SWF North American championship slung over his shoulder, chuckles from behind his dark sunglasses. With Emma wearing a skirt so short it can barely be called a skirt and a shirt beneath her jacket that shows off ample cleavage, there is a definite irony to her condemning another woman for using her sex appeal.

 

Emma Chase: First of all, I want to address this so-called “situation” with Joe Sexy. There is no situation. At all. Sexy, you are a fool if you truly believed you ever had a chance to “woo” me. I am the seducer. Always. You had no more of a chance of winning my heart than you did of winning Brandon's North American championship.

 

She pauses and they both shake their heads, as if simply exasperated at how ridiculous that thought is.

 

Emma Chase: And so now its on to a new “challenger”... a man who walks around dressed as a crustacean. Lobster Boy, it doesn't matter if you got lucky and won this belt from Brandon last year. It will not happen again. I guarantee that.

 

She finishes, then decides she has one more thing to add. Almost as an afterthought.

 

Emma Chase: I will also guarantee this... For those who claim “Big Money” Brandon has hit the glass ceiling here in Supreme... That glass ceiling is about to be shattered... along with everything else. Things are going to be changing around here. For the better.

Brandon James: Damned straight.

Duane Fry: I can't believe Emma called Ana a “slut”.

Peter Michaels: Duane, you aren't supposed to say that on television.

Duane Fry: What? Slut? Don't tell me – tell Emma Chase!

Peter Michaels: Welcome back, fans. And welcome back Ana.

Duane Fry: Don't worry, Ana. We don't think you're a slut. Although I have seen your boobies.

Ana Garcia: Grow up, Duane.

Enforcer Roberts vs Jack Bruce

 

The crowd reaction for “The Long Island Angel” Jack Bruce is huge. He is amongst the most popular wrestlers anywhere on the globe, but in his home town, the support is particularly intense. The opening strains of his familiar entrance music has the Manhattan Sports Garden rocking. Enforcer Roberts is waiting in the ring, looking as stoic and intent as always. Bruce is going through his typical pre-match routine, leaping up onto the turnbuckles and trying to hype up the fans even further. Suddenly tired of waiting, Roberts attacks Bruce. The cheers turn to boos but the Enforcer is oblivious. He is focused on trying to take apart Jack Bruce. Rather than trying to separate the two men, referee Darren Smith calls for the bell to officially start the match that is already underway.

 

As Duane Fry points out on commentary, Roberts has been a frequent opponent of Bruce's since “Show Time” first joined the Supreme Empire. Although The Enforcer has never pinned or submitted “The Long Island Angel”, he always makes a tough opponent. Roberts typically grounds Bruce's fast-paced and diverse offense by trying to lock him to the mat, and he takes the same approach here. It works for a few moments, before Bruce battles out of the holds and starts to launch his trademark offense. Roberts quickly makes his way out of the ring and takes an 8 count outside the ring before returning. The match goes back and forth for a short bit before the former world champion takes control once again. The heel suddenly grabs Bruce in an illegal choke hold, putting his forearm right across the windpipe. Roberts breaks the hold at the four count. An annoyed-looking Bruce catches his breath, then launches a scathing attack. As the fan favorite controls the action, Roberts reverses an Irish whip and follows Bruce in, grabbing him in another illegal choke hold. Roberts refuses to break it this time, taking the 5 count and getting himself disqualified. He refuses to break it after the bell rings and has to be pried off by referee Smith.

 

By the time Bruce has caught his breath and is back on his feet, Roberts is already halfway up the ramp. He doesn't look back. Jack Bruce glares after him, a “what was that about?” look of frustration his face.

 

Jack Bruce Wins at 9:55 via Disqualification

Reaction: Good Action but Disappointing Finish

Christian Faith

In-Ring Promo

 

The crowd reaction to the music of Christian Faith is strong. The veteran legend moves out through the Empire Gateway and the response from the fans gets even louder. Faith stands on the stage for a moment, playing to the fans. He even moves over to the announcer's table on the side of the stage to greet the announcer trio. Then Faith bolts down to the ring at top speed, sliding under the bottom rope and somehow sliding right to his feet in the ring. He the spends a bit more time playing to the adoring fans. While Faith does this, Fry and Michaels discuss the happenings of the prior week, when Jerry Eisen read a “letter of challenge” from Marat Khoklov to Faith, which challenged the veteran to a “Soviet Street Fight”. After hyping up the fans even further, Faith is tossed the microphone by the time-keeper.

 

Christian Faith: Khoklov... Faith ain't going nowhere!

 

The crowd pops huge once again.

 

Christian Faith: There ain't but one truth here in the SWF... and that truth is that Faith will not back down. You wanna make it a Soviet Street Fight. Fine, let's do it. It don't matter what the rules are. Big man, you could've made it a Moscow Death Match. Or a Siberian Strap Match. Maybe the St. Petersburg Cage of Death. Or even a Yekaterinburg Alphabet Soup Match.... It don't matter.

 

Faith has to stop for a moment because the crowd reaction has built to the point that trying to talk over it is useless. He grins for a moment, then turns serious again.

 

Christian Faith: Khoklov, I dunno if you can understand this, so get your translator to help you out. It don't matter where we do this. It don't matter how we do this. The only that does matter is that Faith is gonna kick your ass. And that's something you can understand in any language.

 

Faith doesn't bother posing for the fans further after this. He simply drops the microphone and slides out of the ring.

Peter Michaels: Its been some time since we've seen Christian Faith this worked up about a feud.

Duane Fry: Gotta love that! He should be careful, though. He isn't a young man. Blood pressure and all that.

Ana Garcia: Oh stop it.

Angry Gilmore vs Rich Money

 

Gilmore gets some serious heat from the crowd when he comes out. He scowls and gestures at them, winding them up further. He climbs into the ring and sits on the top turnbuckle, scowling and waiting impatiently for his opponent. Rich Money comes out soon enough, getting a big pop from the crowd. Money pays that screaming fans no attention. His eyes never leave Gilmore from the moment he steps through the Supreme Gateway. All the way down the ring, their eyes are locked as they glare at each other. The straight edge arrogance of Gilmore has a way of getting under people's skin, and its clear that he has pissed off Money with some of his recent comments and his demands for this re-match.

 

Once the bell rings, both men spring to action. There is no gradual engagement and feeling out process - its straight to the back-and-forth shots. The brawling edge goes to Money, so Gilmore quickly tries to change things up and take it to the mat. The battle goes back and forth, with neither combatant maintaining an advantage for long. Gilmore has an edge in the athleticism department, but few wrestlers game-plan better than Money and he is able to effectively nullify that. The quality of the action is most definitely pay per view caliber. As the match passes the ten minute mark, the rugged determination and cerebral efficiency of Money begins to shine through and he gradually takes over the action. A 50-pound weight advantage certainly helps “The Lone Wolf” as he begins to inflict increasing damage to the Canadian middleweight.

 

When Money climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets ready to drop his Dollars from Heaven splash, the fans suddenly begin to boo voraciously. The reason is not immediately apparent, until the camera pans down and picks up the fact that Eric Eisen has climbed over the security barrier from the audience and is now in the ringside area. He quickly leaps up on the apron and delivers a vicious kick square to Money's back. Although Money basically sees it coming, he can't avoid it and it sends him toppling off the turnbuckle onto his face. Somehow, referee Ric Young seems to miss it entirely and for a moment, it appears that Gilmore might be able to take advantage. Instead, the SWF World Heavyweight champion, who just jumped off the ring apron, slides into the ring with his title belt in his hand. Young tries to order Eisen out of the ring, but gets shoved out of the way for his effort to maintain control. Money is on his knees, and when he looks up, and gets smashed in the face with the SWF World Heavyweight championship. Ric Young calls of the bell, signaling the disqualification.

 

Rich Money Wins at 15:11 via Disqualification

Reaction: Very Good Match up to the Finish

Eric Eisen, Rich Money & Angry Gilmore

Post-Match Attack

 

As Rich Money is declared the winner, he is on his hands and knees, with blood dripping onto the white canvas from a wound in his forehead opened by the shot with the title belt. Eisen grins, but he is nowhere near finished. Clearly in control of the situation, "The Supremacist" orders Gilmore to hold up his downed opponent. As Gilmore holds the bloodied Money in place, Eisen delivers another nasty shot with the belt.

 

After the shot is delivered, Gilmore releases Money and he flops face-down on the mat. The blood beneath him begins to pool up. "The Supremacist" grins with self-satisfaction, then examines his beloved title belt. There is apparently a dent in it from the heavy shots he delivered to Money's forehead. The fans are losing their minds through all of this, booing with the passion that New York City crowds are notorious for. The booing gets even louder as Emma Chase and Brandon James appear on the stage and march down the ramp, climbing into the ring.

Emma Chase & Brandon James

 

Before climbing into the ring, James retrieves a fold-up chair from the ringside area. Inside the ring, he hands it to Eric Eisen. Who has it ripped from his grasp by referee Ric Young, who is still in the ring and trying to regain some semblance of order. The world champion shrugs, and then lashes out with a vicious left hook that drops the referee to the mat. The official is unceremoniously rolled out of the ring by Gilmore. Eisen casually stoops down to pick up the chair.

 

This entire sequence, from when Eisen first appears to when he knocks out Young, takes mere moments. The commentators - Peter Michaels and Ana Garcia, at least - are verbally blasting the actions of the champion and his apparent cohorts. By this point, they are literally screaming for someone to come down and help the broken fan favorite, Rich Money.

 

Back in the ring, Eisen orders Gilmore down to the floor. Apparently to stand guard. Eisen lays into the prone Money with several shots from the edge of the chair as Gilmore moves into the ramp-way, where he is joined by Squeeky McClean and Enforcer Roberts.

Enforcer Roberts, Squeeky McClean & Lobster Warrior

 

And as if listening to the commentators, the first attempted calvary arrives. But he arrives alone, as Lobster Warrior - still in costume but wearing street clothes - comes blasting through the Empire Gateway. But he runs into the wall of Gilmore, Roberts, and McClean. Determined or not, the Lobster finds himself beaten down in a hurry. In the ring, Emma quietly encourages the beat-down to continue, with Brandon James now holding Rich Money up for Eric Eisen to deliver some nasty-looking unprotected chair shots to the dome.

Sean McFly, Steve Frehley & Marat Khoklov

 

Sean McFly comes screaming out of the gate next, and his pure speed down the ramp almost gets him past Gilmore and McClean. "The American Tiger" gets a big pop from the fans, just like Lobster Warrior. Unfortunately, just like Lobster Warrior, McFly is no more successful in rescuing Rich Money. After Gilmore and McClean do manage to grab hold of him, Gilmore hangs on while Squeeky and Enforcer delivers a few shots, then Gilmore spins and flings the former champion hard into the security barrier along the ramp.

 

It is Steve Frehley whose attempts is next. Although he has no always seen eye-to-eye with Money, "The Destroyer" has a keen sense of justice and such a beat-down clearly violates it. Frehley doesn't even make it off the stage, as he is blasted from behind by Marat Khoklov. The Russian monster delivers a massive choke-slam on the metal floor of the stage. Then he picks up Frehley, carries the big man over to the announcers booth at the front edge of the stage. The commentator trio scurry away just before Frehley is power bombed through the table as the crowd let's a big "ahhhh". Khoklov then chases the trio of commentators away. They have to abandon their headsets as the cords are only so long. The remainder of the broadcast is without commentary.

 

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/TEW%202010/Workers/SWF%20Workers%20Small/RemoSmall.jpg

Remo

 

In the ring, Eisen, James, and even Chase are taking turns kicking the prone and bleeding Money in the ribs. There is a collective gasp from the crowd and a small, isolated pop when the next person emerges - Remo. For a moment, no one is sure why he is coming out. Long a friend of Money's, they haven't been so close of late. But is he here to rescue his fallen comrade? Halfway across the stage, Remo stops and stares at Khoklov, who is simply standing on the stage. The he moves on. He moves down the ramp in no hurry. Roberts, Gilmore, and McClean allow him through. At ringside, Remo just stands and watches. As if his purpose here is simply to bear witness to the increasing carnage.

 

Brandon James picks up the now-limp Rich Money. Eric Eisen gets right up in his bloodied face, pointing at the dented visage of the SWF World Heavyweight championship and screaming about "payback” and “a reckoning”. The ringside microphones clearly pick up the statement from the champion that Money “had this coming”.

 

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/TEW%202010/Workers/SWF%20Workers%20Small/JackBruce2Small.jpg

Jack Bruce

 

The crowd pops again as Jack Bruce appears. He is out through the stage gateway in a flash. Khoklov has made the simple mistake of turning his back to the gateway and he begins to turn when he hears the fans react, but he is not quick enough. Bruce clips the big man from behind at the knee, dropping the Russian monster hard to the metal stage. “The Long Island Angel” doesn't even really break stride as he continues down the ramp. With a wall of humanity blocking his way at the base of the ramp, Bruce tries something different – he attempts to leap over the grouping. Its an interesting approach, but not really any more successful than the previous attempts by Warrior and McFly. While Bruce gets pretty good elevation on his leap, he is tackled out of the air by Gilmore. McClean and Roberts quickly leap onto “Show Time” and any hope Bruce had of it making it to the ring are dashed.

 

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/Wrestling/TEW%202010/Workers/SWF%20Workers%20Small/ChristianFaithSmall.jpg

Christian Faith

 

Christian Faith, always thinking, takes a different approach. He actually makes it to the ringside area by simply circumventing the blockade of humanity of the stage and ramp. No one spots him until he's over the security barrier, having come through the crowd the same as Eric Eisen. Faith actually makes it into the ring, but as he slides to his feet, he is met by the big boot of Brandon James. The big North American champion literally throws the 295-pound veteran out of the ring. As soon as Faith hits the floor, he is set upon by Gilmore and McClean. James leaves the ring to join the beatdown. For a brief moment, Faith fights back against the superior numbers... but its just too much. He is soon prone on the floor.

 

Chase leaves the ring to supervise the attack on Faith, leaving Eric Eisen in the ring with the broken Rich Money. There is a sickening pool of crimson around Money, smeared with footsteps. When Money, with one final valiant effort, begins to struggle to rise... until another nasty kick to the ribs by Eisen drops him back to the canvas, curling “The Lone Wolf” into the fetal position. Eisen calls for a microphone. As no SWF official are left around ringside, its tossed to him by Gilmore.

 

The crowd is hushed, an eerie calm after the storm of violence. “The Supremacists” flips on the microphone and makes like he is about to speak. But he stops. He stoops down, running a finger through the pool of blood on the canvas. As every eye in the Manhattan Sports Garden arena is on him, Eisen very deliberately runs the bloody finger down the middle of the now-dented SWF World Heavyweight championship. It leaves a bloody 1 on the belt....

 

The lights in the arena have dropped slowly, so that there is just one spotlight and it is centered on Eric Eisen. It follows him as he deliberately steps over the prone form of Rich Money. The world champion makes his way to a corner and seats himself on the top turnbuckle. He lays the SWF World Heavyweight championship belt across his lap. The silence in the arena grows thicker as the seconds tick by... Everyone waits for what “The Supremacist” has to say...

 

Eric Eisen: Look upon the spilled blood and broken bodies of your fallen heroes... and lament. Look upon the scorched earth and the future that awaits... and weep... For you are all witness to the dawn of the darkest days....

 

Eisen looks up toward the lone spotlight the illuminates him, as if basking in the light. The light fades to black. The arena fall dark.

Post Show Thoughts

 

-the format should obviously be pretty familiar to anyone who has read my previous works. If anyone has any suggestions on how it could be easier to read, I'm open.

 

-the match report lengths are about what you can expect going forward, but I got a bit wordy on the angles. Those should end up being a bit more reasonable in length on future shows.

 

-I realize that this is the kind of show that is probably going to raise more questions than provide answers. Those questions should all be answered going forward.

 

-thanks for all the predictions. I don't think anyone got more than a couple wrong. That used to bother me a bit but not so much anymore. This one is more about telling stories than surprising with results.

 

-considered really layout out my perception of the era that the SWF is in, to really get across some of the things that seem to be changing. That seemed a bit heavy-handed. But just to explain a few things.... Severe levels of violence are a rarity in the SWF at this point, especially on television. Backstage angles, outside of the use of the standard backstage interview set, are rare and the backstage area is generally out of bounds. Ana Garcia (who recently posed nude for a magazine) is functioning both as color commentator and primary interviewer.

Great opening show, BP! I especially enjoyed the ending, reading every word with held breath.

 

Thanks angel. Glad someone enjoyed it.

 

I felt like I went overboard on the last segment (in a few ways)... but it also felt like it was necessary. The kind of thing that SWF fans wouldn't be used to seeing at all, which would make it all the more stark and shocking.

 

The recap for the B-show (Warfare) should be done within a day or two. Blatantly lifting the approach that PhantomStranger has used for his B-show (Badge of Honor) in his TCW diary. I've already started work on the next full show, but I'm not really rushing things. Plus, WMMA 3 has me good and hooked so I'm spending some time with that too.

Someone else enjoyed it too, BP.

 

And that boy was ME! :D

 

In all seriousness, this is very good and ultra facinating in that you've already conquered the SWF once before. Wondering what's left for you to do there has me very interested.

 

Keep it up, man.

Thanks NN. The "already conquered" part is why I'm really curious as to what people like and dislike about this version of SWF. As I've said, I almost stayed away from the SWF just because of my previous project. But when I found a story I liked and wanted to tell, I had to hope that would overcome the comparisons to Generation Supreme.

 

Yep, you still got it Bigpappa. Really enjoyed it. Hope the visit home is as enjoyable to you as well.

 

Thanks cmdrsam. Great to have you on board.

 

LIKE OMG THAT WAS SO TOTALLY AWESOME!

 

Seriously. Joe Sexy beat Marc DuBois. The ending was a massive schmozz. Lobster Warrior and Jungle Jack have a team name. This is SO MASSIVELY COOL THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR IT!

 

WOOOOOOOO!

 

...thanks...

No, seriously. I really mean it.

 

Joe Sexy is down as being given a big push in the default data, and you're actually pushing him. I like Joe Sexy; he's not a great wrestler, but he's charismatic and should be able to be made into a star for the SWF. It's nice to see that you're making that work.

 

Considering that you're going for a more Attitude-era style, the massive scmozz ending with constant big pops for the Faces coming out and constant shocks as they get beaten down is massively appropriate. It's nice to see something like that being done well - characterfully, well-written, obviously well-considered.

 

I love the Lobster Warrior character. I don't like it when people go, "I love Chris Morrisette, but I don't like the silly mask, so I'll take it off and make him all like serious and sh*t." Similarly I love the Jungle Lord - I like it when fun, goofy gimmicks are given to good wrestlers so they can be given a chance to shine in the spotlight rather than being relegated to the undercard. The gimmicks, that is. Not the wrestlers. Uniting Marlowe and Lobby is coolness squared.

 

A lot of people book the SWF like it's TCW, pushing LEGITIMATE WRESTLERS over cool characters and going for ultra-realistic storylines to build to dream matches. Other people book it like it's USPW, and push Big Smack Scott or Everest to the moon and job out Angry Gilmore for being too talented. I like the way you're doing it. It feels different, and it fits.

 

So, yeah. I'm on board. Cool dynasty. Keep it up. :)

thanks, now I regret letting TCW have him...

I can just picture Jungle Lord tearing up the set after taking offence to the 'leapord skin was sooooo yesterday' comment.

 

Garcia is a guy who I've misused, or at least underused, in past games. But he has his uses, especially given he has solid Entertainment skills. I thought about using him more as a straight-ahead manager, but a multi-purpose Santino role works really well for him.

 

The Fashion Show segments - some of which will get full write ups - should be fun. A flamboyant man with the initials F.A.G. who is critical of pretty much everything should be pretty offensive fun all the way around.

Thanks Regis. Hard to tell if enthusiasm is genuine in a post sometimes and I just wasn't sure. I've been plenty guilty in the past of looking past certain talents in favor of... more talent. Guys like Joe Sexy, Enforcer Roberts, Runaway Train, etc, didn't get the consideration they probably deserved. Older guys were pushed down in favor of an un-needed youth movement. Some of the "dumb" (or fun, all depends on perspective) gimmicks were removed. I pushed guys based too much on sheer in-ring skill, when that isn't really the SWF style. Its not wrong, but its not what the SWF does. So I'm trying to be more careful with things. That doesn't mean that Sexy is necessarily about to win the world title, but he will certainly play a big role. As will Lobster Warrior (not Chris Morrisette), Frederique Antonio Garcia, and the rest. The idea is to try to evolve the SWF into a new era (and you are correct in the Attitude Era correlation) but I don't want that to necessarily mean dumping off part of what the SWF already is.

Who felt he could have been a lot more if the WWE had gone further with it. Never saw that much of him, to be honest - I watched pretty sporadically during that period and he seemed to be on Raw pretty rarely when I did watch (didn't get SD then). The F.A.G. character won't be based too much on Rico, at least not intentionally. More flamboyant than effeminate. Definitely some toughness there.

I've been tempted to explain exactly why I wanted to bring him in, as its for a lot more than his in-ring skills (that was a minor consideration). Its probably better to let it play out, though. I've always questioned how he became such a major star, given his lack of Entertainment skills, even Charisma. He tends to build up to decent Entertainment skills in a hurry if you use him in angles frequently (found this is multiple games), so I could have just made him "rusty" due to his time in NOTBPW and able to cut a decent promo... but that contradicts the '97 mod and this approach just feels more accurate. </p><p> </p><p> Spot on call with the X-Division tag line...

In fact, it was pushing boundaries that carried wrestling from a legitimate sport (akin to boxing) to a pseudo-sport sideshow which mostly lived in circus tents for many years before becoming a "legitimate" stand-alone business in the 1960s. The Supreme Wrestling Federation pushed the boundaries in the 1970s, changing the perception of what wrestling could be and forever altering the landscape of the business in America.</span></span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> In the mid 1990s, the four Tri-State promotions that would engage in the "East Coast Wars" would push the boundaries once again. In every conceivable way. The East Coast Wars were too bloody, too violent, too shocking, too edgy, too adult, too vulgar, too sexual, too fast-paced, too innovative, and probably even too forward thinking. The influence of the Wars is almost immeasurable and continues to affect the industry today.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> Promoters and wrestlers who were willing (and in some cases needing) to push the boundaries have helped the business of professional wrestling evolve. That said, it is not always a good idea to push the bounds of what is accepted. In some cases, those bounds exist for a reason. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> In the past, I have lauded the Supreme Wrestling Federation for the calculated risks that Richard Eisen has taken over the years. For the boundaries they have chosen to push and those they have chosen to respect. Earlier this week, I was one of nearly thirty thousand in attendance at the legendary Manhattan Sports Garden who were stunned to silence by a lengthy segment at the end of Supreme TV. A segment that pushed the boundaries in all the wrong ways. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> It is no easy thing to silence the notoriously vocal New York City fans. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> I would rather not recount the segment in great detail. Suffice to say that Eric Eisen and friends (Angry Gilmore, Brandon James, and a few others) attacked Rich Money after a match, leaving him a bloody mess, and then fended off rescue attempts by most of the top fan favorites in the promotion. The attack on Money was unbelievably vicious, as he was hit with several unprotected chair shots and left pools of blood on the mat. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> The segment made logical sense from a story standpoint. It would appear that Eric Eisen is assembling some type of heel super-ground stable around himself, and as a manipulative champion, that works. The attack on Rich Money, given his history with Eisen and role in the injury that kept the current champion out of action for eighteen months, was the right choice. It made sense that the "good guys" would try to help out Money, even if he was long one of the "bad guys". So yes, the segment was logical from a booking standpoint. It was also unnecessarily brutal and excessive from a violence standpoint. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> The Supreme Wrestling Federation has long had restrictions on the degrees of violence they will show, especially on television. Its not as though violent moments are lacking - bloody matches occur and so do heinous attacks. Brutality to this extreme is, however, a rarity. It should be. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> The boundaries that the segment in question broke - battered and brutalized, if you prefer - are both self-imposed and external. They are self-imposed to the extent that the SWF has courted wide demographic appeal for many years. The idea is to offer a bit of something for everyone. If you want technical matches between great athletes, the SWF has it. If you want hard-hitting brawls, the SWF has it. If you enjoy fast-paced and high-flying action, the SWF has it. If you are seeking humor and wrestling that doesn't take itself too seriously, the SWF has that, too. The SWF makes some obvious efforts to appeal towards kids, which partly explains why excessive violence is a rarity. There are sponsors to consider, in addition to the willingness of C.A.N.N. to carry overt brutality. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> One aspect of the attack which I found particularly troubling was the unprotected chair shots. They were all delivered to Rich Money by Eric Eisen. Such direct chair shots have always been considered dangerous within the industry. Unlike a standard chair shot, the worker receiving the shot has no opportunity to protect themselves in any manner. Given what we have come to know about the long-term damage that such headshots can do and the concussions they can cause, there is even more reason not to allow them. Yet it was the owner's son delivering them that night, to one of the promotions biggest stars. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> My original intent was to write this column on Tuesday night, directly after the snow. I decided to wait a few days, simply to see if there was any backlash against the Supreme Empire over this. There has been, but nowhere near what I expected. A few critics, both wrestling insiders and outside observers, have lambasted the promotion over the segment for various reasons. Yet there are no rumblings that the network had any issue with the violence, nor that any of the SWF's many sponsors were concerned. Although such issues could come to light later, I must admit that I am surprised by that. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> I have watched the segment numerous times since, and have to say that I my reaction of revulsion has not changed in the slightest. As both a fan and a wrestler industry insider, I hope that this segment is not indicative of what the Jerry Eisen era of the Supreme Wrestling Federation will offer us. This writer had great expectations for Jerry, but those hopes are now somewhat diluted and tainted. If the intent was to shock and disgust, then mission accomplished. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:10px;"> So consider this a plea, going out to the Supreme Empire and Jerry Eisen (or whoever is indeed in charge at this point)... Please, respect the boundaries... No for simply being a boundary, but for what they represent and why they are there. </span></span></span></p></div></blockquote>

I was late in following your previous SWF project. I am following this project and I must say I like what I have read so far. KUTGW.

 

Glad to have you on board, LS. This one is going to be (intended to be, at least) a different ride than Generation Supreme was... but hopefully just as fun and interesting.

Expect fallout.

 

Tensions are likely to be high this week on SWF Supreme TV, after the heinous attack on Rich Money that was orchestrated and perpetrated by SWF World Heavyweight champion Eric Eisen last week. The attack left Rich Money bleeding heavily and the New York City fans in the Manhattan Sports Garden simply stunned.

 

The entire Supreme Wrestling Federation is sure to be on high alert for any similar situation occurring again.

 

One of the best known and notoriously rowdy arenas in America, Boston Station has seen plenty of fantastic Supreme action over the past decade. There is sure to be plenty more action on this week's Supreme TV, headlined by a cannot-miss tag team main event that will feature "Long Island Angel" Jack Bruce teaming up with the legendary "American Tiger" Sean McFly to take on "Straight Edge Warrior" Angry Gilmore and Enforcer Roberts.

 

Also on the card is a unique four-way match to determine the number one contenders for the SWF World Tag Team championships. One member from each of The Biggz Boys, The Amazing Bumfholes, Pure Power, and Bombs Away will be involved in the match.

 

With The World is Watching pay per view just days away, and "The Supremacist" Eric Eisen taking considerable criticism for the attack last week, this week is sure to another forgettable edition of Supreme TV.

 

Tune in Tuesday, prime time on C.A.N.N.
