The first show will be up tonight.

[Slagaholic]

Due to Cliff Lee signing with the Phillies and the various blogging and such that came with it, I have to post pone the first show until tomorrow night. I don't mean to toot my own horn or anything but I think that so far it's the best show I've written for a diary yet (not saying much I know).

Full Throttle Wrestling - Carnage In The Coliseum 1

1,800 screaming fans pack into the West Texas Coliseum. The massive advertising campaign has clearly paid off. There is an atmosphere of anticipation through the building...

 

Bargain basement pyrotechnics go off, multi-colored lights duct-taped to the ceiling flash around the room, and the crowd stands on their feet.

 

Full Throttle Wrestling's fearless leader Robbie Fire walks into the ring to a standing ovation.

Robbie Fire: Welcome everyone. I've probably met a good many of you throughout my travels throughout this great state of Texas, I want to say thank you for being here and giving us the joy to entertain you each and everyone one of you. When I dug into my own pocket, sold items, and mortgaged my home to start this company, I did it with one thing in mind: you fans. We in FTW are focused on achieving greatness and making you feel like you got your money's worth. I want you all to realize that tonight you are present at a historical event. Tonight you will all witness a new era of pro wrestling. The future of pro wrestling. This is the true alternative. No count-outs. No disqualifications. This is Full Throttle Wrestling.

Dazzling Dave Diamond w/Jemma vs Bob

 

It's the first match in FTW's history and the crowd is hot behind the Texas native Dazzling Dave Diamond. His opponent known only as Bob was nothing but a sacrificial lamb to Triple D. Before the match began they showed a sign of respect shaking hands, but that was where the pleasantries would come to an end.

 

Bob is not in the same class as Dazzling Dave Diamond, not even the same school by the looks of this match. Triple D feeds off of the crowd and channels the energy they had into a dominating performance. After toying around with his opponent for a few minutes Triple D points to the bleachers who respond with a deafening cry, and nails the Dazzle Driver for the pinfall.

 

Winner: Dazzling Dave Diamond

Barely sweating from his match Dave Diamond grabs the mic.

Dazzling Dave Diamond: Thank you! Thank you! Ain’t it nice to get some wrestling down here again? Not just some big ol’ company riding through and don’t even stay for breakfast? *cheers* Now I was born just down the road in Clint, Texas. *cheap pop* I remember begging my pa to drive for 3 hours to The Friedman Building to see the likes of Pat Deacon, Floyd Bowman, Chief Two Eagles, and hell even Rip Chord. It’s a real honor to wrestle in front of you folks, and I promise this won’t be the last time. We’re gonna have ourselves some good fun together. Tonight’s just the beginning. *cheers*

The Canadian Gunners vs "Ant-Man" Johnny Heizenger and "Island Boy" Apollo w/Persephone

 

However loud the cheers were for Dazzling Dave Diamond is just how loud the boos were when The Canadian Gunners, Davis Newton and Thomas Morgan made their way through the curtain, Canadian flag in hand. They are a long way from home, and there isn’t a friend in sight.

 

From the jump the Gunners utilize underhanded tactics to cut the ring in half on Apollo, trading tags and pulling the wool over the eyes of the gullible ref. The crowd and Persephone urge Apollo to dig deep and try to make the tag but he is thwarted at every pass. Mogan uses his superior technical skills to keep Apollo grounded, while Davis Newton would land a few cheap shots whenever the ref’s back was turned. Finally, having enough of the Gunners’ rule bending Heizenger gets into the ring and tosses Morgan from the ring with incredible ease. This allows Apollo time to recover and finally tag Ant-Man in, making him legal. Heizenger delivers a monstrous axe-handle smash to each of the Canadian Gunners and sends the crowd into raptures with a double STO.

 

The Gunners still put up a fight but Heizenger and a recovered Apollo were just too much for them to handle. Apollo pinned Thomas after an Island Driver to pick up the win.

 

Winners: “Island Boy” Apollo and “Ant-Man” Johnny Heizenger

“Bulldozer” Brandon Smith stands in the ring awaiting his two opponents, what he gets is an attractive woman.

 

Katie C: I am the one who requested a match with you…or rather, requested a match my on behalf of my representees. They figured they'd get a nice little handicap match to get their feet wet and you looked like a tough enough guy. They hail from the land of awesome where amazing flows from the fountains of bad assness. They are: Excellent Enterprises.

Brandon Smith struggles to hold back his laughter when his opponents show themselves.

“Bulldozer ” Brandon Smith vs Excellent Enterprises w/Katie C

Excellent Enterprises aren’t very excellent. At all. In fact they’re pretty bad. And come to think of it, they aren’t really enterprising either. Brandon Smith controlled the action from the jump, even though he allowed the two to tag freely when they got tired. Eventually Mark Snark and Keith Vegas gave up altogether and they both stood on the apron. Smith grabbed them both and flung them into the ring pinning them easily.

Winner: “Bulldozer” Brandon Smith

Roderick Remus vs Philippe LaGrenier w/ Juliet DuBois

 

From the minute the competitors were announced it was clear who the crowd would be behind, Carolina’s own Roderick Remus. Philippe LaGrenier couldn’t possibly care less; he has a sexy lady in his corner. Rod Remus hugged his twin brother at the announcing table before entering the ring . *aww!*

 

The two go back and forth throughout the bout. Philippe using his size advantage and club-like fists to beat down Roderick who does his best to keep his wits about him before attempting high risk maneuvers to keep LaGrenier off-guard. The tides turned in Remus’ favor after LaGrenier missed a corner splash, opening the door for Remus to connect with a slingshot dropkick on his dazed opponent. Remus follows up with the Remus Rush, a quick succession of snap elbow drops and a standing moonsault for a near fall.

 

Roderick is well on his way to victory within as he heads to the top rope to put the nail in the coffin so-to-speak. Before he was able to leap from the top, he is rudely pushed off by Julie DuBois. Philippe slowly makes his way to his feet and nails the Quebecer Cutter to get the pin and the win.

 

Winner: Philippe LaGrenier

FTW Tag Team Championship Ladder Match

http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/CaptainSlag/FTW/NathanielCaino.jpghttp://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/CaptainSlag/FTW/SammyTheShark.jpghttp://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/CaptainSlag/FTW/VS-1.jpghttp://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/CaptainSlag/FTW/ThimblebyLangton.jpghttp://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/CaptainSlag/FTW/WootonFitzpaine.jpg

The Bookmakers vs The Good Ol' Boys

 

The Good Ol’ Boys, Wooton Fitzpaine and Thimbleby Langton, immediately endeared themselves with the fans with their huge size and the down-home manner in which they carried themselves. On the other hand…The Bookmakers, Dino Ca$ino and Sammy The Shark, have a decidedly slimy city slicker look about them, something the crowd not only picked up upon but made it very vocal that these guys don’t belong. The Bookmakers responded with PG obscene gestures.

 

The Bookmakers looked like they wouldn’t even bet on themselves in this one as they spent the first few minutes tasting canvas. Thimbleby was the first to bring the ladder into the ring, but he also brought with him a change of fortune. Sammy The Shark got his hands on the ladder and used it to his advantage. It wasn’t long before the ladder had been used in a variety of ways: a battering ram, a silver steel road to Wooton’s face, suplexed onto both of the Good Ol’ Boys, and last but not least a really long and painful necklace. The former caused Wooton and Thimbleby to be knocked from the ring. Sammy went after Wooten and placed him on the announcers table while Dino Ca$ino scurried atop the ladder. Dino leaps…and goes smashing through the announcers table! Wooten had slid out of the way!

 

After the table mishap Dino is left in la-la land. The Good Ol’ Boys give Sammy The Shark the beat down the crowd feels he deserves. Fitzpaine nails Sammy with the Woot Boot and Langton slammed him to the canvas with an Ol’ Country Flapjack. Wooten and Thimbleby climb to the top of the ladder and are officially the first ever FTW Tag Team Champions!

 

Winners: The Good Ol’ Boys

FTW Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semi-Finals

Paul Steadyfast vs Jack Griffith

Both men are well known in these parts and the crowd wasn’t quite sure just who they should cheer for. I’ll tell you one thing; they weren’t doing much cheering during the start of this one.

 

Paul Steadyfast detained Griffith to the mat throughout most of the match. The West Texas Coliseum pled both men on to make something happen, as nothing much had happened at the moment. Jack Griffith “executes” a series of business-exposing kicks, followed by digging the abdominal stretch back out of the 1980s.

 

The match quickly headed to the floor from there, and it began to pick up as Griffith and Steadyfast took full advantage of the no count-out rule turning the match into a brawl. This gets the fans back into the match. By the time action returns to the ring Steadyfast is a bloody mess and Griffith is sucking wind. Griffith continues to bash Steadyfast’s head into the turnbuckle again and again. The crimson-masked-one digs deep and turns the tides, slamming Griffith into the turnbuckle multiple times, splitting him open. Hard elbows by Griffith, Steadyfast responds with a few elbows of his own. Irish whip by Griffith…Steadyfast rolls him up! Steadyfast wins the match!

 

Winner: Paul Steadyfast

The crowd murmurs in confusion, what’s going on!?

 

Lights return.

 

Paul Steadyfast is no longer in the ring…in fact he’s not even at ring side…in fact we don’t know where he is. Jack Griffith comes to his senses and looks just as confused as the fans are.

Robbie Fire vs “Super Ninja” Ota

 

Robbie Fire non-surprisingly got the biggest entrance pop of the night. His elaborate, gymnastic entrance garnered a few oohs and ahhs from the crowd. Ota received a very chilly welcome and his traditional martial arts exhibition in the middle of the ring was not enjoyed. By anyone.

 

Early on in this one, it’s by far the fastest paced match of the night. Fire and Ota give the fans more than a few heart-stopping moments. The tempo changed after a Robbie Fire flying cross body is met with a hellacious spin kick from Ota. The Super Ninja peppers Fire with a series of hard kicks to the chest and finally a spinning heel kick to the side of Fire’s face. Ota followed up with a pin but it was a near fall. The Coliseum urges Robbie Fire on and he is first to his feet but he is quickly sent to his back due to a leg sweep from Ota. A frustrated Ota races against the ropes and attempts a Ninja Strike (Shining Wizard) but Robbie catches Ota’s knee and delivers a flick to the gonads. Both men lay prone on the mat, Fire slowly regaining their energy, Ota trying to deal with the shock waves of pain emanating from between his legs.

 

The Heavyweight Title is on the line and these two competitors know it. They trade blows in the center of the ring, Ota nails Robbie with a leaping knee to the chest sending both men crashing to the ground. Ota once again goes for the Ninja Strike, but once again Robbie Fire dodges it. Fire and Ota clothesline attempt by Robbie is reversed into a german suplex, but Robbie lands on his feet! Robbie races at Ota and attempts Fire Damage (Code Breaker) but Ota holds on and reverses it into a slingshot into the corner, but Fire lands on the second rope! Before Ota can get back to his feet he gets a strong case of Heart Burn (flying knee drop to the chest)! Robbie covers him. It’s over. Robbie Fire is headed to the finals!

 

Winner: Robbie Fire

An exhausted Robbie Fire drops to one knee and awaits his opponent. But no one knows where Paul Steadyfast is. A man comes to the entrance way but it’s not his opponent, it’s Carl Batch.

Carl Batch: As you all saw, Paul Steadyfast unfortunately had to leave after his match. Sorry fellas, there won’t be a title match tonight. *boos* I’m sorry, oh really I am.

 

Carl enters the ring.

Robbie Fire: What’s your angle?

 

Carl Batch: I have a proposition for you. My client heard about this little shindig you were having down here tonight and he decided to drop by. Thing is, he wants a title shot. I told him “you can’t get a title shot, you’re not in the tournament,” but he was so determined that he went ahead and well…took care of that himself.

 

Robbie Fire: This is bullcrap! You can’t just beat somebody up and get a title shot.

 

Carl Batch: Hey, that’s what I told him. But he wouldn’t listen. He said that he especially wanted a shot at you, Robbie Fire. Now you have two choices, you can put that FTW title on the line and get it on in this ring. Or you can just…leave.

 

Robbie Fire: I’ll take option B, this is bullcrap.

 

Robbie Fire begins to head out of the ring.

 

Carl Batch: What are you…chicken?

 

Robbie stops in his tracks and gets in Carl Batch’s face.

 

Robbie Fire: Nobody. Calls. Me. Chicken. NOBODY! You tell your lil client to get his no good light flicking butt in this ring right now!

 

Carl Batch: He’s already here.

 

Robbie looks around the ring and around ring side. Behind him a figure appears from under the ring.

Acid vs Robbie Fire

 

The crowd was still in shock as the bell rang and the match began.

 

Visibly exhausted after his match with Ota, Robbie Fire is no match for Acid. Robbie gives it his all but is unable to cope with a fresh Acid. Finally a spark of hope from Robbie, he begins to gain a bit of momentum. 1,800 fans rise and cheer him on. Acid can feel the title slipping from his grasp, so he resorts to an eye gouge to slow Robbie’s charge.

 

Acid resumes his beat down. Oh boy…Acid has got Robbie Fire caught up in the ropes! Lefts and rights and kicks rain down on Robbie while the near-capacity crowd looks on in horror. Acid runs at Robbie, who frees himself in the nick of time! Acid flies out of the ring and off of the guardrail. But Robbie is too spent to follow up, he can only lay on the mat and search for his second wind. Carl Batch tosses his client back into the ring. Robbie rolls over and pins him! Carl Batch yanks his client back out of the ring. Robbie decides to head out after them.

 

Bad idea. Acid delivers a few kicks to the gut and then suplexes Robbie onto the exposed Coliseum floor, but Acid isn’t done. He drags Robbie back to his feet and nails the Acid Rain Bomb onto the floor; the sickening crack of Robbie’s spine meeting concrete resonates throughout the arena. Acid heaves Robbie back into the ring and pins him. We have a new and inaugural FTW Heavyweight Champion. Excuse me if I don’t do a happy dance.

 

Carl Batch and Acid stand over Robbie Fire, laughing at him, taunting him, all the while the West Texas Coliseum is literally shaking thanks to the volume at which the fans are booing.

 

Winner: Acid

Steadyfast is shiny o_O

 

What's your proomotion's stats? Like Mainstream, Traditional, blah blah blah. I keep expecting this to be more risque (or daredevil, maybe) than it seems to be. I assume Hardcore has to be at least...shoot, medium maybe?

 

I'm amused by tag teams doing things "behind the ref's back." What's he going to do, stuff that they don't have to care about? He's there for the pinfalls, you fools. Double team. DOUBLE TEAM!

 

As it stands, I don't find anyone to cheer. Robbie's an ass, so screw him. Acid's a heel (though I like him; not as much as I used to, though). Good Ol' Boys suck. HARD. I hate Ant-Man like other people hate Hell Monkey (who I adore, of course).

 

So...yeah. Don't like the Remuses either. So there's no one for me to cheer.

 

That said, this is essentially a heel diary for me, I guess. So the more annoyed I am, the better. It's like...I dunno, the Miz. More I want to punch him, more he's doing his job.
