CGC: All Is Not As It Seems

CGC: All Is Not As It Seems

{White text fades in and out across a black screen.}

All is not as it seems...

{The CGC Logo follows.}

{Faces fade in and out. First is Alex DeColt's, bold and handsome as ever. Jack's. Ricky's. Dan Dalay. Eddie Chandler. And now the faces that flash across the still dark screen come faster, more furiously – Shooter Sean Deeley, Adrian Garcia, Hotstuff Marie, Gargantuan, Stevie Grayson, Zues Maximillion, Whippy the Clown, Trent Shaffer, Nate Johnson, Bobby Thomas, Fate Destiny Ryan Powell Philippe LaGrenier Joey Poison...}

{A sudden cut to blackness.}

{Phil Vibert's smirking visage, slowly and deliberately, slides across the screen.}

{The text returns, this time read out by every voice on the CGC roster.}

All is not as it seems...

{A url.}

{Nothing.}

Shortly after the mysterious viral video pitches up on the TV, an ad for CGC's Title Bout Wrestling gets some airtime. The inaugural card for 2010 is as follows:

CGC Title Bout Wrestling

Joey Poison © vs. Philippe LaGrenier

Stevie Grayson and Zeus Maxmillion © vs. Destiny and Fate, the Soldiers of Fortune - non title match

BREAKING KAYFABE!

So it's been a while since I've tried a proper diary. This is the first project I've properly prepared for/planned out and pre run so hopefully it should be a fun one for you all. There will be no behind the scenes action, because I lack the talent to make such narratives intruiging. As such, this diary will be good old fashioned Sports Entertainment.

The format has been shamelessly ripped from a selection of my favourite authors, notably Self (who also inspired a good chunk of the characters) and James Casey. The first show will be up tomorrow, with each show being posted on the day it's actually meant to be held - so every Sunday there'll be some Title Bout Wrestling for ya'll and once a month there'll be a PPV. Anyways, this will hopefully be an enjoyable experience for us all, and I hope to see you aboard.

There will be a prediction prize following the second day of the DeColt Wrestlefestival. Cos that's where the save's at now.

I will be following along. CGC is one of my favorite promotions after NYCW and I had a lot of fun doing a dynasty for them back in the '08 version.

20LEgend · December 4, 2010

Just to note you've put GCG in your post, but I knew what you meant and everyone else will...

I'll be reading this liked how you set the tone. I'm a big fan of CGC since my epic game with them so this should be fun

The showing of the workers and then speeding up and then Phil Vibert coming on was brilliant, I could imagine it in my head, really cool

Lolfail. I edited it for the diary preview thread but then used the unedited version for the real start...

Good to have you aboard. Please continue to point out my failings as we go along

TakerNGN74 · December 5, 2010

Will be following as I am currently doing a CGC dynasty and like to see others with them to see what the differences are and how you do things as opposed to how I do them.

*** CGC Title Bout Wrestling Episode 1/48 of 2010 We get an opening video set to Airborne's Rock You Like A Hurricane cover, and neatly into the pyro as CGC's 2010 gets under way! We are welcomed to the show by our announcers for this evening... Marty PAPIN: Hello and good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and we are coming at you LIVE from the heart of DeColt country for CGC Title Bout Wrestling. Adrian GARCIA: Man, why do you always bring up those dang DeColts? Everyone knows people only tune in to this show for my Elite boys... PAPIN: You keep telling yourself that Adrian. I'm Marty Papin, and we are about to get underway from a Victoria Royal Athletic Park that is packed to the rafters. GARCIA: The atmosphere in here is buzzing, and let me tell you guys, we already have two HUGE matches coming up for later tonight! PAPIN: You got that right partner! Joey Poison will put his Canadian title on the line against Philippe LaGrenier and the tag champs Zeus Maxmillion and Stevie Grayson are going to be in action. Thousand Foot Krutch's Fire It Up rips through the sound system to a collosal pop as the crowd spring out of their seats for the first time that evening. PAPIN: And we all know what that means... GARCIA: Unfortunately... Here come ALEX and RICKY DeColt down from the curtain, microphones in hand, and popping the crowd with raised hands and huge smiles. ALEX makes his way into the ring directly, while RICKY high fives the fans all the way around the ring. The music starts to dip as the commentary team bicker. PAPIN: What do you mean 'unfortunately'? These men are legitimate Canadian heroes! GARCIA: I have some problems with this statement, but it looks like A-LAME is about to start talking so I'm going to be quiet. PAPIN: Good call. Hey, wait... ALEX: Welcome to... DECOLT COUNTRY! The crowd shout along and cheer themselves hoarse as ALEX poses. RICKY slides into the ring and throws a winning smile to ringside before speaking himself. RICKY: That's right, gents, and especially the ladies... (OOOH from the female members of the crowd) RICKY: We are here tonight, boys and girls, to remind you all just how great it is to be in your home town, in front of your fans and atop of your universe, which is JUST where we DeColts are! ALEX: You got that right bro! Now, I'm sure you have all seen that mysterious TV commercial – hell, I think they ran it right before this show – and I'm sure you're all wondering what that means. Well, I wish I could tell you... RICKY: But we had jack all to do with that. ALEX: Yep. Unfortunately, we're only here tonight because we've been informed that those irritating egomaniacs Elite are somewhere in the building tonight. You guys seen 'em? ALEX directs this question to one portion of the crowd, who, of course, answer no. ALEX: No? RICKY: Well how about you lot? Another chorus of 'NO' from a section of the audience. ALEX: Well you boys at the back MUST have seen them then! Both DeColt boys turn their backs to the entrance way, and get their no from the back section of the audience. But as they turn around, they are clotheslined out of their boots! Dan DALAY and Shooter Sean DEELEY stand proud and tall, having made a sneaky entrance, minus their music and any usual trappings. GARCIA: BOOM! And the score in this year of CGC is certainly 1-0 Elite! PAPIN: Don't speak too soon, Adrian. DEELEY and DALAY turn and play to the crowd, but in doing so, they give ALEX and RICKY time to gather their feet! RICKY with the Thesz Press and he rains blows down on DEELEY! ALEX exchanges thunderous right hands with DALAY! DEELEY has swept RICKY over and is now dropping his own bombs! Adrian GARCIA has blind sided ALEX with a steel chair and is helping DALAY to drop the boots on the DeColt boy... ACDC's Back in Black hits and Phil VIBERT appears on the ramp to thunderous boos. The CGC commisioner is besuited and bespectacled – though the glasses are obviously trendy dark ones. He's got a microphone, and a group of backstage workers rush past him to break up the battling competitors in ring. GARCIA sees them coming and makes his getaway back to the announce table. PAPIN: Proud of yourself? GARCIA: Yep. Meanwhile, in ring, the brawling group had been separated. The backstagers quit the ring, with the DeColts and Elite staring down. Vibert speaks from the ramp, catching their attention for the first time. VIBERT: Boys, boys, boys, this is NOT how we go about conducting business here anymore! The days when you Elite idiots and you primped up DeColt know it alls could wander round and clobber each other for no reason are gone! Because I'm in charge now, and you'll all do what I say. RICKY and ALEX both raise mics to their mouths, but VIBERT cuts them off. VIBERT: And don't give me that sickening 'but my Daddy built this company' schtick – he ain't here anymore! He's gone, and guess who he left in charge! That's right, boys, that's me. And don't you just know it. But still, since you boys are so DESPERATE to fight, I suppose you should get your opportunity. So hows about this? Tonight – Ricky and Alex DeColt vs. Shooter Sean Deeley and Dan DaLay? What do you boys think? All four men being to speak, but again VIBERT's having none of it. VIBERT: You know what? No-one cares what you think! Both the DeColts and Elite look sad. VIBERT: Cheer up boys, it'll be good practice for Elimination, right? Back In Black hits as we go to commercial. Rating: B- *** We come back to Whippy the Clown in ring, blowing up balloon animals for the kids at ringside. He poses for photographs and slaps hands all the way round. GARCIA: And why, exactly, is this taking place at a wrestling show? PAPIN: It's called crowd pleasing, Adrian. Not that you'd know what that is... The commentary team argue as Whippy goes in ring and capers about, making some suitably clown like poses for the cameras at ringside when Crush Em' by Megadeth hits and out from the back steams Gargantuan! The monster flies into the ring and takes Whippy's head off with a huge lariat, stomping away with vicious abandon! He hoists the clown up to his feet and then into the air, looking for the Ultimate Backbreaker and getting it with authority. Whippy is left out in the ring as Gargantuan prowls to the back and we cut to commercial. Rating: C *** We return with the Tag Champs Stevie GRAYSON and Zeus MAXMILLION making their entrances, and the challengers the Soldiers of Fortune FATE and DESTINY in ring. GARCIA: Welcome back to CGC Title Bout Wrestling, and for those of you who've just joined us, our main event this evening will see Ricky and Alex DeColt going up against Shooter Sean Deeley and Dan DaLay. PAPIN: That'll be quite the match, and it'll give us an idea of what to expect come that big elimination tag match at CGC between the DeColts and Elite. GARCIA: I've been thinking, Pappy, Elite's got four members, and since Steve got thrown out there are only three DeColts left at CGC? I think Elite may have a numerical advantage at Elimination... PAPIN: I'm sure someone will step up to help the DeColt boys. And never call me Pappy again. GARCIA: Sure thing. Pappy. GRAYSON and MAXMILLION make it in ring and Francis Long rings the bell to get the match underway. GARCIA: Oh, it's these insufferably happy twits again. I hate these guys. PAPIN: Why am I not surprised? A reminder folks, this is a non title match. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="29645" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Stevie Grayson and Zeus Maxmillion © vs. Soldiers of Fortune (FATE and DESTINY) – non title match Maxmillion and Destiny start. They both charge in for shoulder blocks but Destiny bounces off and flops his way across the ring. Maxmillion makes his adonis like figure ripple before tagging out to Grayson. Grayson picks Destiny back up to his feet, whips him into the ropes and levels him with a drop kick, both men are back to their feet quickly and they exchange hockey fight-esque right hands, before Destiny ducks one right hand and hits a cheeky Northern Lights suplex for the two count. Grayson staggers to his feet, and is whipped into the corner. Destiny with the corner clothesline and the tag to Fate who drops the elbow off the top rope. Cover and a two count. Grayson is slow to his feet so Fate runs the ropes. Grayson sees him coming and drops him with the drop toe hold. Grayson runs the ropes and nails an elbow to the kidney, posing big time before crouching down and looking for the Super Kick. Grayson whiffs and a back drop from a recovering Fate, who makes it to the ropes and tags back to Destiny. Destiny levels Grayson, and stomps away, before going for the chinlock as CGC goes to commercial. Back from commercial and Grayson is still stuck in the chinlock. He fights to his feet and elbows his way to freedom, diving to the corner for the tag only for Maxmillion to apparently deliberately step out of the way! Grayson looks up in horror as Destiny grabs him by the ankle and pulls him centre ring, locking in the Camel Clutch! Fate hops the ropes and hits the running facewash, carrying on to clothesline Maxmillion to the floor on the far side of the ring as Destiny covers for the victory! Winners: Soldiers of Fortune Rating: D</div></blockquote> PAPIN: A huge victory for the Soldiers of Fortune here as they defeat the reining tag Champs – and is their dissension in the Grayson-Maxmillion ranks? GARCIA: It certainly looks that way, Pappy. We cut to commercial as Grayson and Maxmillion argue while the Soldiers of Fortune celebrate in the ring. *** We're back from commercial and Philippe LAGRENIER is already in ring. Alice Cooper's Poison hits and Joey POISON makes his way down from the back, title round his waist to a big pop. GARCIA: Ugh. What a weirdo. He must spend more time on his hair than he does in the ring. PAPIN: Looking good is important to Joey Poison, admittedly, but even you can't deny that he's a very talented young man. POISON makes it to the ring, plays to the fans, and hands the title to Farrah Hesketh. PAPIN: A reminder that this match is for the CGC Canadian title ladies and gents. GARCIA: Yep. Though why that damn Frenchie's in a match for such a great belt is beyond me. Hesketh hands the title to ringside. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="29645" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Joey Poison © vs. Philippe LaGrenier for the CGC Canadian Title Lock up and a side headlock from LaGrenier to get us underway. Hiplock takedown now from LaGrenier and he manoeuvres Poison's shoulders to the mat for a quick one count. LaGrenier drops a couple of punches but Poison scoots out and back to his feet. LaGrenier rises slowly, and Poison hooks him up for the atomic drop, stunning the French Canadian further. Poison runs the ropes and LaGrenier turns around into a crossbody into the cover for a two count. Poison looks a little exasperated as he regains his vertical base, pulling LaGrenier to his feet and whipping him into the corner. Poison charges in with the spear, but LaGrenier rolls out of the way and the Champ smashes into the steel ring post. Poison staggers out of the corner into a trio of armdrags, before LaGrenier drops the elbow and covers for the near fall. Poison regains his feet and sidesteps a bullrushing LaGrenier, who flies over the ropes and to the floor. Poison leaps over the top ropes with a no hands frog splash, getting big air and big impact as Title Bout wrestling goes to commercial. Back from commercial and LaGrenier has Poison in an armbar at centre ring. Poison struggles clear, gets back to his feet and uses a hiptoss to throw LaGrenier to the mat. LaGrenier bounces up and runs the ropes, coming back with a clothesline, but Poison leapfrogs him. LaGrenier comes back off the ropes into a boot to the gut, Poison with the Antidote Web cradle and that is all. Winner: Joey Poison Rating: C-</div></blockquote> PAPIN: And Poison makes another defence of his Canadian Title here tonight. GARCIA: Good thing too. I may not like that weirdo with five colours in his hair, but he's still a damn sight better than any Frenchman I've ever met... Title Bout Wrestling goes to Commercial again, with LaGrenier freaking out in ring and Poison celebrating his victory with his fans. *** We're back from commercial with JACK DeColt in ring, title on his shoulder, Hotstuff MARIE on his arm and microphone in hand. JACK: Hello DeColt Country! Cheap pop ahoy. JACK: We are live across our great nation here tonight for some fantastic wrestling action, and yet I find it very hard to feel... happy. You see, whenever I turn my back on anything round here, it seems to wrong. Turn my back on my brothers? They get beaten down. Turn my back on my title? It gets stolen. Turn my back on Marie? She gets kidnapped. And I for one have had enough. I'm sick of Elite, and I'm sick of all those other posers who haven't quite figured out... who rules? 'DECOLT RULES!' 'I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt' hits and out swans Eddie CHANDLER, open neck frilly shirt on over some rather tight trousers. He grins at the crowd who boo him vociferously before he raises the mic to his lips. CHANDLER: Hold on there Jacky boy! You're blaming us because you DeColts are so ridiculously accident prone that things always go horribly wrong? Your brothers are wusses, your title shouldn't be yours and your woman BLATANTLY wants Eddie far more than she wants you, if you know what I mean. CHANDLER winks at MARIE, who goes a little red. JACK looks angry. JACK: No, Chandler, I do not. The fact that you're wrong on every count imaginable is probably why, but that's a tale for another day. Tonight I have bigger fish to fry. In three weeks time at Elimination, the DeColt boys are facing Elite in an elimination tag match. But there are four of them and three of us. So I'm asking you to get rid of one of your members to make it a fair fight. CHANDLER: No, no, NO Jacky darling! It's GOING to be an eight man elimination tag match whatever happens. And if you can't find a fourth man to replace your long lost brother, that's your loss. Loser. 'I'm Too Sexy' hits and Eddie saunters to the back, with Jack left in ring looking bemused. Rating: B *** 'Fire It Up' hits the speakers and two thirds of the CGC based DeColt clan emerge from the back, complete with 'DeColt Country' jackets, movie star smiles and kisses for any babies that happen to be in the front row. They enter the ring and face the back, waiting for the inevitable... NO! DALAY and DEELEY duck from under the announce table, levelling the DeColt boys! GARCIA: BWAHAHA! Didn't see that one coming, did you now? PAPIN: *sigh* Referee Francis Long rings the bell as DALAY rolls ALEX out of the ring. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="29645" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Alex and Ricky DeColt vs. Dan DaLay and Shooter Sean Deeley (Elite) Deeley covers Ricky right at the bell, but the youngest DeColt forces his shoulder up at two and a half! Deeley gives the ref the eye, complaining angrily, and turning his back to Ricky – which is clearly a mistake. He returns to facing Ricky, and is knocked off his feet by a dropkick! Deeley recovers quickly, but again is grounded by the dropkick, and once more for the third time. He stays down after that one, and Ricky spings off the ropes with a springboard splash, making his own cover, but DaLay makes his way in ring to break it up at two. Long remonstrates with DaLay, who takes his time getting out of the ring, and Deeley seizes upon the opportunity, poking Ricky in the eyes and following up with a flurry of stiff martial arts kicks. The ref turns round in time to see DeColt being laid out by a release belly to belly, and Deeley scrambles towards him for the cover, but Ricky's fired up now and has his shoulder up at just two. Leg lariat to Deeley and Ricky makes the tag to Alex to a thunderous pop. Across the ring comes Alex, a whirlwind of fury and violence, taking Deeley of his feet with an avalanche of chops, punches and a big clothesline to finish. Alex turns his back to celebrate, and Deeley takes his chance to tag out to DaLay. Alex finishes his circular celebration by being hoisted into the air, before being body slammed to the mat. The giant poses over the fallen DeColt as we go to commercial. We're back and Ricky has DaLay between the top two ropes, jumping on the giant's back in an attempt to do some damage. DaLay stands up midway through one such attempt, and Ricky uses this as an opportunity to pull off a picture perfect back flip, landing without a stagger and burying a nasty thrust kick into DaLay's ribs. The big guy doubles over, and Ricky drops him to the canvas with a swinging neckbreaker into the cover, but before the ref can count three, he's pulled out of the ring by Adrian Garcia! And right into a clothesline by Eddie Chandler, who'd made his way sneakily to ringside in the commercial break. With the ref down, all hell breaks lose in ring, with DaLay and Deeley laying the smack down on Ricky, before Alex charges in and clotheslines Sean clear, engaging in a fist fight with the Shooter while Ricky struggles against Dan! Chandler jumps into the ring and surprises Ricky, locking him in the Fabulous Stretch while DaLay stomps on the downed DeColt. Alex turns to help but his brawl with Deeley is too intense to allow the older DeColt to rush to his brother's rescue. Things are looking pretty dire for Ricky when down from the back come Jack DeColt! Jack cleans house, clotheslining DaLay over the top rope and putting Chandler in the End of Days, causing the Fabulous One to release the hold on Ricky. Ricky roles clear and kicks the struggling Chandler quickly in the googlies, while Jack hauls the now moaning Eddie from the ring. Meanwhile, Deeley has gained the upper hand in his battle with Alex, and capitalizes, launching the struggling man over the ropes with a HUGE release German suplex! Ricky spots this an angrily leaps over, grabbing a headlock and knocking Deeley into unconsciousness with his Leaping Reverse DDT the DeColt 45. Ricky's face is intense as he gathers his feet and turns around right into Dan DaLay! DaLay Down! DaLay with the cover, and Garcia brings Long round and rolls him into the ring to make the count. One, two DING DING DING! DaLay looks shocked as Long stops the count at two, before regaining his still shaky base and speaking into a rapidly lowered house mic. LONG: Under the new regulations imposed by CGC Commissioner Phil Vibert, this contest has been declared a time limit draw as the 15 minute period has been completed. Winners: No-one Rating: C+</div></blockquote> The crowd are unsure whether to cheer or boo this announcement. A fuming DALAY deals with the news by planting the ref with another DaLay Down, and covering the downed Ricky for his manager GARCIA to make the three count. The crowd boo loudly, as PAPIN sends us off for the week... PAPIN: It may be a new year here in CGC, but some things never change – it looks like Elite are their dastardly selves, and they came very close to winning that matchup against Alex and Ricky here tonight. The question is, what will the DeColts have to say for themselves? What malevolent machinations does Adrian Garcia have up his sleeve? Will I get a commentary partner who's slightly less biased? All this and more, next week on CGC Title Bout wrestling... © CGC 2010 *** Show Rating: C Attendance: 8,641 Viewership: 1.20 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="29645" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>OOC: So, a question: I wrote the matches out in detail this week because, well, I felt like it.

Just a suggestion, but for your dialogue angles, perhaps using different colors for either the sentences or at least the names of the different people speaking will make it a little easier to follow along with.

CGC like all entertainment companies, is more about the angles and the storylines than the matches themselves. The matches are more to further storylines. I would keep the match descriptions themselves brief, except for storyline stuff like run ins,turns, etc.

Really good show, like the draw ending.

TBH I do find myself for the mostr part just reading the end on the match write ups.

want to say draw but I think Jack would bitch about it

Gargantuan vs. Whippy the Clown

In my CGC WtC took the canadian belt of Garg, and whilst maybe Garg should win Whippy is my favourite guy in the c-vers

Destiny and Chance, the Soldiers of Fate vs. Grimm Quibble and Christian Price

These guys will get a tag title shot soon, so build 'em up

Dragonmack · December 5, 2010

Jack DeColt © vs. Eddie Chandler - non title match

non title means Chandler can win and build momentum for a title challenge.

Gargantuan vs. Whippy the Clown

Gargantuan has great potential, and a lousy attitude. Whippy pulls the surprise win, but pays for it with a vicious assault afterwards

Destiny and Chance, the Soldiers of Fate vs. Grimm Quibble and Christian Price

Quibble and Price are part of the CGC job squad

CGC Title Bout Wrestling Episode 2/48

Rock You Like a Hurricane and the intro video package gets the evening underway, followed by a pyro and a panning shot of the auditorium as the fans wave signs and cheer themselves hoarse. The show gets it's weekly introduction, but all is not as it seems...

Marty PAPIN: Hello once again everybody and welcome to CGC Title Bout Wrestling, live from the sold out Varsity Arena in Varsity, Ontario, Canada. Now, after the terrible behaviour of my ex-broadcast partner Adrian GARCIA last week, Phil Vibert has ordered him to be replaced – and it is my great pleasure to announce his replacement to be CGC legend Eric Tyler!

Eric TYLER: Thank you for the introduction, Marty, it's a pleasure to be here to witness some top notch wrestling action.

PAPIN: And we've got some fantastic matches lined up for you all this evening – after Eddie Chandler's heinous interference in the main event last week, Jack DeColt has decided to put him in his place – that's our main event this evening, a non title match between CGC World Champion Jack DeColt and the Elite co-leader Eddie Chandler!

TYLER: I'm looking forward to that match a lot, Marty, but our co-main event looks set to explode too, with Whippy the Clown trying to get some payback after that brutal beating Gargantuan put on him last week.

PAPIN: I wouldn't hold out too much hope on that count, Eric.

'Fire It Up' hits the speakers and all three members of the DeColt clan emerge from behind the curtains to send the crowd into a fit of ecstasy. Hotstuff Marie is in tow and JACK has the World title on his shoulder. The mood is sombre however as the three poster boys of CGC make their way to the ring. RICKY's the first to use his mic.

RICKY: Welcome to the Varsity arena ladies and gentleman! Welcome to DeColt Country!

There is a cheap pop for the enthusiastic youngster. JACK moves to speak as the cheers die down.

JACK: Indeed we are in DeColt Country tonight, as we were last week. However, it turns out that even being in your home town is no protection from the machinations of Elite.

A video plays on the big screen, showing the build up to the finish to last week's main event:

... Meanwhile, Deeley has gained the upper hand in his battle with Alex, and capitalizes, launching the struggling man over the ropes with a HUGE release German suplex! Ricky spots this an angrily leaps over, grabbing a headlock and knocking Deeley into unconsciousness with his Leaping Reverse DDT the DeColt 45. Ricky's face is intense as he gathers his feet and turns around right into Dan DaLay! DaLay Down! DaLay with the cover, and Garcia brings Long round and rolls him into the ring to make the count. One, two DING DING DING! DaLay looks shocked as Long stops the count at two, before regaining his still shaky base and speaking into a rapidly lowered house mic.

LONG: Under the new regulations imposed by CGC Commissioner Phil Vibert, this contest has been declared a time limit draw as the 15 minute period has been completed.

With that done, JACK continues his speech.

JACK: The fact that we were one second from a loss, but were saved from that humiliation from a man who I know nothing but loathing for is irritating. But the fact that I had to be at ringside at all was more so.

ALEX: We went into that match believing that the fact that the members of Elite we were facing had enough advantages – more height, more weight, a manager at the announce table - to not need any more.

RICKY: But we were wrong. Mark my words, Adrian Garcia, we will never be wrong again.

ALEX: Soon, even you will have to acknowledge who rules.

'DECOLT RULES!'

The crowd have a little cheer but Jack holds his hand up for silence.

JACK: But we still have a pressing problem. We are without a fourth member. Usually, I'd know exactly who to ask... but tonight I'm not so sure. See, after last week's shenanigans, Phil Vibert...

JACK is cut off by booing. He holds his hand up for quiet again.

JACK: ...has banned the rest of Elite and my brothers from the venue tonight.

ALEX: We had to beg and plead to even be allowed to come out and talk to you folks!

JACK: So as a result, we do not have a chance to democratically discuss who's going to be the last member of out team at Elimination.

RICKY: Say, do you folks have any suggestions?

The DeColt boys work the crowd, asking each section whether they have any suggestions as to who might join their heroes in the eight man tag match at CGC Elimination.

RICKY: I think I heard Joey Poison's name mentioned in there, bro.

ALEX: No, I think they were cheering loudest for Ed Monton.

JACK: Both are good suggestions. I'll ask them both whether they're available tonight.

'Fire It Up' hits again and the DeColt boys make their way to the back, high fiving the fans lucky enough to have seats next to the entranceway. Title Bout Wrestling takes a break.

We come back from commercial with Christian PRICE and Grimm QUIBBLE in the ring.

PAPIN: Welcome back to CGC Title Bout Wrestling, and we're just about to get underway with our opening contest!

TYLER: Indeed we are. A couple of my contemporaries should be out shortly to put these whipper-snappers in their place.

A metal-y instrumental cover of Deep Purple's 'Soldier of Fortune' hits the speakers and FATE and DESTINY breeze down to the ring to loud booing.

PAPIN: A reminder that these two men hold a victory over the reigning tag champs, Stevie Grayson and Zeus Maxmillion.

TYLER: Indeed. A win here would definitely make a strong case for them getting a tag title shot in two weeks time at Elimination.

The duo make it to the ring, their music cuts, and referee Francis Longs sounds the bell.

Soldiers of Fortune (Fate and Destiny) vs. Grimm Quibble and Christian Price

It's a squash, and not a partiularly impressive one at that. Fate and Destiny get equal time via some slick quick tags, administering beatdowns to both Quibble and Price. It's everyone's favourite ginger jobber who eats the Soldier's trademarked Camel Clutch-Facewash combo - dubbed the Payload - for the three.

Winners: Soldiers of Fortune
Rating: D-

PAPIN: A fine performance from these two veterans.

TYLER: There is definitely some life in this particular dog yet. They could be on their way to yet ANOTHER Tag Team title reign.

PAPIN: We shall see, Eric. We shall see.

The Soldiers celebrate in ring as we go to the next segment.

The cameras come up on Ed MONTON untaping his wrists backstage to a small pop. The crowd go bananas as JACK DeColt approaches and claps a hand on the veteran's shoulder.

JACK: What's up, Ed?

MONTON: Not much, my friend. Can I do anything for yeh?

JACK: It may not have escaped your attention that I'm a DeColt short for the big tag match at Elimination. My brothers and I were wondering if you would be interested in filling Steve's boots.

MONTON looks thoughtful.

MONTON: It's an intriguing offer, Jack. But anyone who sides with you will have to deal with Adrian and his goons for the rest of their lives. I'm an old man, now, friend. I'm not sure I can take that kind of pressure week in, week out...

JACK: Don't let me force you into it, Ed. You make your choice, and get back to me next week.

MONTON: Sure thing, buddy.

JACK claps MONTON on the shoulder one last time at quits the scene, the camera focusing in on Ed's perturbed face, before going to a commercial.

Back from commercial and an irritated looking Adrian GARCIA is backstage with a grumpy looking WHIPPY the Clown – he's got his sad painted face on today.

GARCIA: Hello, welcome back, good to see you all *mumbles* ungrateful...

WHIPPY: Ahem.

GARCIA: Ah, yes, sorry, Whippy. I'm here with former CGC Tag Team titlist Whippy the Clown, who has something to say ahead of his match tonight.

WHIPPY: Indeed I do, Adrian. Last week, I was out there, doing my bit, like I do every week, to bring smiles to a few little faces. Their smiles, in turn, make me one happy clown...

GARCIA: Excuse me while I throw up.

WHIPPY shoots GARCIA a black look.

WHIPPY: As I was saying, their smiles make me happy. But the looks on their faces after that hideous monster Gargantuan attacked me last week made me very, very unhappy. As you can plainly see. So I talked to the boss, I talked to Phil Vibert, and I got him to make a match tonight. This time, Gargantuan, I'll be ready. This time, you won't surprise me, and this time, I will be victorious.

GARCIA: And therefore a happy clown?

WHIPPY: You got fired. Punk.

GARCIA's mouth flops open and shut soundlessly to the crowd's delight as WHIPPY strides off into the proverbial sunset. The cameras go to the next segment.

We come back from commercial with a raved up 'Send in the Clowns' pulsing out of the speakers and WHIPPY the Clown making his predictably zany entrance, complete with cream pies, balloon animals and comedy cartwheel fails. He reaches the ring and his jaunty theme is replaced by the angry 'Crush 'Em', and down comes GARGANTUAN, his hulking muscles rippling as he reaches the ring.

PAPIN: Welcome back to Title Bout Wrestling, and this one could get ugly.

TYLER: That's for certain. You might want to look away, boys and girls, because our beloved Whippy could be in for a beating here.

GARGANTUAN enters the ring and stares down at the relatively diminutive WHIPPY. Farrah Hesketh rings the bell and we are under way.

Whippy the Clown vs. Gargantuan

The announcer's foreshadowing is for naught. Whippy bounces round the ring with some unpredictable offence - working the legs of his huge opponents, hitting the body and head with dropkicks when the opportunity presents itself and even decking the monster with a top rope lariat. Gargantuan gets increasingly frustrated as again and again Whippy slips away from his power moves, but gives up playing fair and hooks a hand into Whippy's tights as he races past once more, clocking him one between the legs to make sure. He proceeds to hoist him onto his shoulders for the military press backbreaker that he dubs the Ultimate Backbreaker. The pin's academic.

Winner: Gargantuan
Rating: D

TYLER: Well, well, well...

PAPIN: It turns out size isn't everything. Whippy's unorthodox offensive style had Gargantuan worried for a while there.

TYLER: And he had to cheat to get the victory for himself.

PAPIN: I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this...

Gargantuan celebrates by rushing up the ramp. Whippy looks frustrated in ring, but finds time to make one last balloon elephant for a kid in the front row as we go to commercial.

Back from commercial and the cameras come up on a besuited Joey POISON, who is watching the highlights from his match last week with Philippe LaGrenier in his locker room. JACK DeColt emerges from a side door and greets the Canadian Champ.

JACK: Hey there, Joey. How's your belt keeping?

POISON: As well as yours, for sure, Jack.

JACK: Listen, I've been thinking.

POISON: No need to ask, buddy. I was watching earlier. And I'm still thinking about it. But why d'you even bother asking Ed Monton? Everyone knows that guy's past it.

JACK: Show some respect, Joey. Ed's a legend of the business and a close family friend...

POISON: Family friend, eh? Some things never change round here.

POISON gets to his feet and shoulders past JACK. The crowd boo and JACK looks worried until...

POISON: I'll think about it, Jack. As much as I resent some of the things that you and your boys do, I'd give anything to put a whooping on Adrian Garcia's whingy ass.

That gets a pop and a half smile from JACK, who also makes his exit as we go to the next segment.

The cameras enter another locker room, where ZEUS Maxmillion, is sipping on a cup. A bottle of Fine Greek Wine is visible in the background. Stevie GRAYSON bursts through a side door in a temper, and throws his kitbag down on the floor.

GRAYSON: You see that out there?

ZEUS: What?

GRAYSON gives the cool as ice Greek a sideways glance.

GRAYSON: Don't play dumb with me, Maxmillion. You know, the Soldiers of Fortune winning their match. And they beat us last week. Now people are expecting us to give them a match at Elimination.

ZEUS: They're old.

GRAYSON looks exasperated.

GRAYSON: It doesn't matter if they're old, they beat us last week! We need to practice!

ZEUS: The Golden One is practising. He is increasing his resistance to liver related illnesses.

GRAYSON gives ZEUS an angry look.

GRAYSON: Christ, is this just some sort of game to you? This is the first time I've held a title for five years. FIVE YEARS. That's a long time without gold, and I sure as hell don't want it to end now.

ZEUS: The Golden One's name is Zeus, not Christ. But close, they are both gods, yes?

GRAYSON: Are you even listening to me?

ZEUS: Hush now. The Golden One is appreciating fine art.

GRAYSON gives an exasperated moan and quits the scene as Title Bout Wrestling goes to a commercial.

We come back from commercial with Eddie CHANDLER in ring and the first chords of 'Fire It Up' booming out over the sound system. The crowd go schiz again as JACK DeColt makes yet another appearance, Hotstuff Marie on his arm and CGC World title over his shoulder.

TYLER: Welcome back once again to CGC Title Bout Wrestling where we are getting set for our Main Event of the evening!

PAPIN: That's right! CGC World Champion Jack DeColt is heading into the ring for a non title match with 'The Fabulous' Eddie Chandler.

TYLER: More like the Qu...

DeColt hits the ring, as there is a scuffle behind the announce table.

PAPIN: What the hell are you doing here?

GARCIA: Making a guest appearance. You got a problem with that, Pappy?

PAPIN: Oh, no...

TYLER: This guy giving you trouble, Adrian?

PAPIN: I'm pretty sure that's his job, Eric.

DeColt hands his title to ringside and Francis Long gets the main event underway.

Jack DeColt © vs. Eddie Chandler – non title match

The match is even. Too even. For every move that Jack tries, Eddie has some sort of way to weasel clear, and for every attempt Eddie makes to gain the upper hand is answered by something equally crunching from the eldest DeColt. Both men come close to locking in their finishers, but it's a tight, even affair that never truly gets going, and it looks like, for the second week running, the main event will be decided by a time limit draw. That is, until Adrian Garcia hurdles the announce table, grabs a steel chair and knocks DeColt to the floor, just seconds before the time limit expires. Long calls for the bell as Chandler and Garcia cackle evily.

Winner: Jack DeColt (DQ)
Rating: C+

PAPIN: Oh, no. I knew that scoundrel was planning something...

TYLER: I should've clobbered him, right, Marty?

PAPIN: Right.

In ring, GARCIA eggs CHANDLER on as he locks in the Fabulous Stretch, causing JACK to scream in pain. The CGC World Champ fights and fights but can't get free – then the crowd pop huge as Joey POISON hurdles the barricades from the audience and drop-kicks CHANDLER off JACK. GARCIA gives a high pitched squeal and quits the ring, backing away from POISON, who's more interested in checking on the apparently injured World Champ. GARCIA makes his way up the entranceway with his back to the curtain, and backs straight into Ed MONTON. MONTON leaves Elite's 'Official Consultant' out for the count with a monster clothesline. In ring, JACK is stirring, so POISON leaves him and makes his way to the ropes, where he engages in a stare down with MONTON.

TYLER: It looks like Jack may have got two for one here!

PAPIN: How will the CGC Champ deal with this dilemma? I definitely can't wait for next week to find out!

CGC Title Bout Wrestling 2010 3/48

Rock You Like A Hurricane! Video! Pyro! Papin and Tyler welcome us as the camera shows a packed out arena full of screaming fans!

Marty PAPIN: Hello ladies and gents, and welcome once again to another live edition of CGC Title Bout Wrestling! I'm Marty Papin...

Eric TYLER: And I'm Eric Tyler, and we welcome you to the sold out Quebec City Arena, where we are just five days away from the first PPV of 2010, CGC Elimination.

PAPIN: And the first match tonight promises to be a knuckle biting encounter with serious implications for this Friday – following the events of last week's show, both Ed Monton and Joey Poison want in on that last place of the DeColt's team for Elimination, and they'll be facing off very soon for the honour of striding out with Team DeColt in just a couple of minutes.

TYLER: This is going to be a great match, Marty – in Poison, our Canadian Champion, we have one of the most exciting young rising stars in the industry, and in Monton, a veritable legend of CGC – I don't think I can pick a winner!

PAPIN: And on top of that razor close match, we will have representatives from Team DeColt and Team Elite taking on opponents of Commissioner Phil Vibert's choosing later tonight.

TYLER: Hang on, Adrian. It looks like something's about to go down backstage...

The cameras zoom up the big screen where some backstage drama looks set to unfold...

The camera comes up on Bobby THOMAS. The former Specialist gets a little bit of heat as he strides up to a locker room door. He knocks on it, and it opens suddenly, revealing the hulking form of Dan DALAY. DALAY grunts. THOMAS clears his throat.

THOMAS: Erm... I was wondering if I could speak to Nate, please?

DALAY grunts. Nate JOHNSON steps round the towering giant and smiles at his former tag partner.

JOHNSON: Bobby. 'sup?

THOMAS: Not much, Nate. Can I have a word?

JOHNSON: Sure.

JOHNSON folds his arms and leans on the door frame. DALAY looms behind him.

THOMAS: I meant... er... alone?

JOHNSON: Sure...

JOHNSON sighs melodramatically, but follows THOMAS away from the Elite locker room.

JOHNSON: We run far enough away get?

THOMAS: Yes. Look, Nate...

JOHNSON: I know what you're going to say Bobby. You're going to ask if I can get you into Elite. But I can't. It's up to Adrian, and he chooses without asking any of our opinions. Besides, we were a team for years, and I had great fun working with you. But that chapter's closed now. You should move on.

THOMAS: I... I tried, Nate. I really did. But... I can't do it. I can't work the same on my own. I'm no longer a mainstay – hell, I've not been booked for a match at the pay-per-view yet. This is the first week they even asked me to be at the arena this year, for crying out loud! I need something to make me stand out – and working with Elite is that something, I'm sure of it.

JOHNSON looks thoughtful. THOMAS, hopeful at his silence.

JOHNSON: Well. I can't get you into the group easily, buddy, but I can give you some pointers that might make Adrian take notice. Tonight's first match – between Joey Poison and Ed Monton – the winner's going to join Team DeColt at Elimination. Adrian's been going on about making Monton win – I guess he thinks he's the weaker competitor - but Elite have been barred from ringside – even Adrian!

THOMAS nods, catching on.

THOMAS: But I'm not part of Elite.

JOHNSON: Exactly.

The former tag champions share an evil smile as the cameras go to commercial.

Ed MONTON is already in ring as we return, and Joey POISON, Canadian Title in hand, is making his way down to his namesake song by Alice Cooper.

PAPIN: Welcome back to Title Bout Wrestling, and it looks like those dastardly Elite boys have got this match all planned out already!

TYLER: I wouldn't say that. Ed is a veteran of the game and a great fighter – he may not even need their help to beat Poison.

POISON makes it to the ring and hands his belt to ringside.

PAPIN: Remember folks, this is a non-title match.

Francis Long sounds the bell and we are under way.

Joey Poison © vs. Ed Monton – non title match

The two fan favourites engage in an enjoyable affair, with Poison looking to use his speed while Monton tries to force the Canadian champion into a brawl. Joey steadily gains the upper hand as the match wears on, and Monton narrowly avoids being caught in the Antidote Web cradle twice. It comes to an end when Bobby Thomas stalks down the ramp and lays out the Canadian legend with a steel chair. Long throws the match out as chaos descends upon ringside.

Winner: Ed Monton (DQ)
Rating: D+

Joey POISON looks incensed as Bobby THOMAS, cracks the downed MONTON with a chair again. POISON grabs the former Specialist by the arm and spins him around, but THOMAS just smacks him over the head with the chair for good measure. THOMAS poses over his downed opponents and gets some decent heat for it.

PAPIN: I knew it! That scoundrel Bobby Thomas ruined a perfectly good match and robbed Joey Poison of a victory.

TYLER: And it looks like he could've hurt our Canadian Champion to boot...

MONTON has recovered and clotheslines the still posing THOMAS over the ropes. The former tag champ takes this opportunity to makes good his escape, while MONTON kneels by the still downed POISON, a look of intense worry on his face as Title Bout Wrestling goes to commercial.

The camera comes up on WHIPPY the Clown, who is once again backstage with a very sour looking Adrian GARCIA.

GARCIA: Hello, and welcome once again to Adrian's freaking Interviews. Unfortunately joining me this week for the second week running is Whippy the Freaking Clown, who got tooled by that ugly monster Gargantuan last week. What have you got to say this week, Whipster?

WHIPPY raises a bemused eyebrow in GARCIA's direction.

WHIPPY: You sound a little bitter, Adrian. Usually I'd offer to talk it out, but I've got more important things to do with my mic time today.

GARCIA bites his tongue. WHIPPY smiles waspishly.

WHIPPY: Anyway, last week I came close to defeating the monster Gargantuan. He couldn't deal with my speed and my innovative offence, and if it were not for some heinous cheating that the referee somehow missed, I would've got my revenge. As it was, I got nothing – just another painful ride down from Gargantuan's shoulders and across his knee. That's why I want another match – at Elimination. And not just any match. I want a traditional Elimination Tag Match! With two partners there's no way the cheater will be able to get away with pulling a fast one. Fight me, Gargantuan!

GARCIA: Fighting words from our fighting clown there. I wonder how Gargantuan will respond?

We fade out on Garcia's sour features.

The cameras go to the announce desk where PAPIN and TYLER welcome us back.

PAPIN: Indeed they were fighting words, and we've just heard from the Commissioner's office with some exciting news.

TYLER: You got that right Marty. Phil Vibert has confirmed that it will be Whippy's Team vs. Gargantuan's Team in a 3 vs. 3 Traditional Elimination Tag Match this Friday.

PAPIN: I wonder who the competitors will get to be on their teams?

The cameras leave the announcers discussing this very question.

They pan out onto a wide shot of the arena, where the instrumental cover of Deep Purple's 'Soldier of Fortune' hits the speakers and DESTINY emerges from the back, CHANCE at his shoulder. The dastardly duo make their way to the ring, DESTINY leering into the crowd and CHANCE psyching his partner up. They reach the ring and pose for the crowd as their music cuts, and the jaunty 'Who's Sandy Jenkins' hits and Stevie GRAYSON steps through the curtain, alone.

TYLER: It looks like Grayson's Greek friend has chosen not to accompany him here tonight.

PAPIN: That can't bode well for the Tag Champ, can it? Find out when Title Bout Wrestling returns...

We're back from commercial and the match is already underway.

Stevie Grayson vs. Destiny w/Chance

In a match against one half of his now confirmed opponents for Elimination, Grayson always looks a little out of his depth. Destiny works over the cruiserweight with his power game, keeping the flyer grounded, and relying on a little help from his tag partner at ringside to distract the ref and allow him to use some questionable tactics to his advantage. However, the tag champ refused to stay down and started to make the typical comeback expected of good guys, but just as he builds up ahead of steam, 'Who's Sandy Jenkins' hits again and Zeus Maxmillion emerges from backstage. Grayson whips round and his tag partner gives him the big thumbs up. Destiny, ever the opportunist, takes this opportunity to level the champion with a Release Tiger Suplex and get the three.

Winner: Destiny
Rating: D

ZEUS looks a little shocked at the carnage he's caused, but shakes it off quickly, shrugs his shoulders, and exits backstage. DESTINY and CHANCE celebrate as GRAYSON groans on the mat.

PAPIN: There's a real lack of unity between Zeus and Grayson at the moment.

TYLER: And if they don't sort that out by Friday, they may not walk out of Elimination as Tag Team Champions.

***

The cameras head backstage and to the door of the Commissioner's office, which is where Ed MONTON waits, a little like a naughty child. From the other side of the door comes a voice.

VIBERT: Come in.

MONTON pushes the door open and takes a seat in Phil VIBERT's office. It's ultra modern – polycarbonate chairs, glass desk and polished laminate floor. VIBERT is seated behind the desk and motions MONTON to the seat opposite his.

MONTON: You wanted to see me, boss?

VIBERT: I did, Ed. You see, ever since I have taken over, I have tried to stomp out the corruption that the DeColt boys brought to this promotion.

MONTON goes to interject, but VIBERT cuts him off.

VIBERT: Don't give me that 'but they're all Canadian heroes' twaddle. I was considered an American hero by some in the business, and look where I am now. I'm stuck running some backwater Canadian federation that relies on three stale and boring brothers. But that's not the point of this meeting. I'm here to offer you a Canadian title match at Elimination.

MONTON: Why the sudden charity, Vibert? This is most unlike you.

VIBERT: Earlier tonight, no matter quite how you managed it, you defeated the reigning Canadian champ Joey Poison in a non-title match. In any promotion I run, that means you get a rematch down the line with the title at stake. Now, I know you have a spot promised in the main event, but I think this match could be good for your career – you don't have long left, Ed. Why don't you go out in a blaze of glory with gold around your waist?

MONTON: Can't I compete in both?

VIBERT shrugs regretfully.

VIBERT: I wish I could let you, Ed, but the doctors won't allow it. Tell you what, I'll not ask for your response for tonight. I'll have a replacement lined up to face Joey at Elimination if you decide to help those DeColt fools, but you're first in line. You know what I would do.

MONTON looks very conflicted as we go to commercial.

We return with Adrian GARCIA at his interview station, this time accompanied by all of Elite – Eddie CHANDLER, Dan DALAY, Nate JOHNSON and Shooter Sean DEELEY.

GARCIA: Hello and welcome back to Adrian's Interviews. I'm here with my boys Elite, and we are busy preparing for the big Traditional Elimination tag match at Elimination on Friday. We are doing this for several reasons. Firstly and most simply, we all like to stick it to those DeColt losers. Secondly, the money and support that will come in for Elite if we win will be huge! Heck, if we can keep the momentum up we may be calling this show Elite Golden Combat! And thirdly, if the World Champion gets pinned, the man who does the pinning gets a World title shot at Luck of the Draw next month. And we, as a group, would quite like the shiny gold belt to be ours again. Whoever controls that belt, controls the company, no matter what Phil Vibert says. So tune in this Friday, Elitists, to see the first stage in the passing of the torch – soon, the DeColt monopoly will be no more, and it will be Elite that rule the roost!

The stable laugh evilly as we go to commercial.

We're back and Shooter Sean DEELEY is in ring, with the rest of Elite at ringside, awaiting the arrival of his mystery opponent. 'Our Generation' by the Who hits and Shane NELSON makes his way to ringside, with the beautiful Jenny PLAYMATE at his side.

TYLER: Hot damn! I haven't seen Jenny for a while and I can safely say that she's only improved with time.

PAPIN: … thanks for that, Eric. Anyway, the former four time Tag Champ Shane Nelson should prove quite the test for the Elite young gun Sean Deeley.

NELSON makes the ring, and Francis LONG gets us underway.

Shane Nelson w/Jenny Playmate vs. Shooter Sean Deeley w/Elite

The winner is never in doubt as we get underway. Garcia sidles up to Playmate on the outside while the rest of Elite grab Nelson's ankles whenever he passes near the ropes and generally irritate the former Youth Energy member. Deeley bosses things in ring, working him over with bone crunching suplexes and anatomy rearranging joint locks. He finishes things with a monster of a Release German Suplex, followed straight into his 'Real Deel' Seated Stretch Armbar to elicit the tap and earn him the victory.

Winner: Shooter Sean Deeley
Rating: C+

PAPIN: An impressive performance by Deeley. If the whole of Elite fights like that come Friday, the DeColt boys could be in trouble.

TYLER: Not to mention the unity we're seeing here – look at this celebration!

The whole of Elite is carrying DEELEY on their shoulders, while GARCIA cheers and makes the 'L' sign to a battered NELSON, who is being helped to his feet by PLAYMATE. We go to commercial as the crowd shower ELITE with their disapproval.

We're back, and we're backstage as Ed MONTON sits, brooding in his locker room. JACK DeColt storms in, and the CGC World Champ does not look happy.

JACK: You can't tell me you're seriously thinking of accepting Vibert's offer, are you?!

MONTON: You heard, then.

JACK: Of course I heard! If you accept we'll be a man down on Friday!

MONTON: Can't you get someone else to fill in? This is a great opportunity...

JACK: You are thinking of accepting?!

MONTON: Yes, I am Jack. And can you blame me? It's a great opportunity – a shot at the Canadian Title, and a chance for me to wear some gold for the first time in ten years! I'm 48 years old, Jack. How many more chances am I going to get?

JACK looks upset, and shakes his head, disappointed.

JACK: I thought better of you, Ed. I can't believe you'd be so selfish.

JACK strides away, angry. MONTON looks even more conflicted.

We're back at ringside after a commercial break and Trent SHAFFER is in the ring. 'Fire It Up' hits the speakers and out trot the DeColts, with ALEX dressed to wrestle. Hotstuff MARIE is on one of JACK's arms, the World Title on the other, and RICKY works the crowd as they make it into the ring.

PAPIN: That dastardly Phil Vibert has been mucking around with the team dynamics, but it looks like the DeColt boys are at least as together as Elite are, if not more.

TYLER: Pity there's only three of them...

PAPIN: This match isn't a gimme either. Shaffer is one of the hottest up and comers in the industry!

TYLER: But Alex is a fantastic wrestler with years of experience on his side. I can only see this going one way.

ALEX slides into the ring and the ref rings the bell.

Alex DeColt w/Team DeColt vs. Trent Shaffer

Alex and Trent burn the house down. After the despicable ringside tactics of Elite, the DeColt boy's approach of sitting on a row of steel chairs and roaring encouragement is a refreshing change. In ring, Alex and Trent go hold for hold, Trent matching Alex technically and then running rings round him with his speed game. As the match wears on Alex successfully corners Trent and starts to work over his legs with big power moves. Trent breaks free and runs the ropes and tries to set up for his finisher the Heart Burn, but Alex levels him with a DeColt Throat Thrust and then lays him out with the DeColt Driver for the victory.

Winner: Alex DeColt
Rating: B

PAPIN: Well, it wasn't easy, but Alex DeColt has rolled to victory over exciting young superstar Trent Shaffer here tonight.

TYLER: Shaffer put up a great fight, but the DeColt boys look more than ready for Elite this Friday.

PAPIN: But will the DeColts even have four team members? Will Ed Monton choose to wrestle the injured Joey Poison for his Canadian title instead? All this and so much more, this Friday at CGC Elimination, LIVE on Pay-per-view.

The DeColts celebrate as SHAFFER looks frustrated. We go to black as the boys pose on the ramp while their theme tune is cranked up to eleven.

*********BREAKING KAYFABE***************

A couple of notes - I'm feeling pretty ill right now so apologies if the formating/grammar on this show is a little worse than usual. Looking ahead, the card for Elimination will be up tomorrow and the show will follow on Friday, which is also Christmas Eve. Because it's Christmas (and because I'm away for New Year weekend), you'll then get two episodes of Title Bout Wrestling over the week following Christmas. I can't promise that one will be on Boxing Day, but we'll see, eh?

Feedback welcomed!

TheKenwyne · December 19, 2010

Commercials air furiously over the next few days, aiming to promote CGC's first PPV of 2010. The full card is advertised, including several matches which have had no build on TV, earning the ire of parts of the internet...

CGC Elimination VIII

Main Event: Team DeColt (Jack, Alex, Ricky and Ed Monton?) vs. Team Elite (Eddie Chandler, Dan DaLay, Shooter Sean Deeley, Nate Johnson)

Team Whippy (Whippy the Clown, ??? and ???) vs. Team Gargantuan (Gargantuan, ??? and ???)

Trent Shaffer vs. Ryan Powell vs. Thrill Seeker vs. Bobby Thomas

***

Predictions welcomed! There are bonus points for identifying which match Ed Monton takes part in and the other members of Whippy and Gargantuan's teams (all wrestlers featured on the show are part of the original CGC roster).

Dragonmack · December 22, 2010

Main Event: Team DeColt (Jack, Alex, Ricky and Ed Monton?) vs. Team Elite (Eddie Chandler, Dan DaLay, Shooter Sean Deeley, Nate Johnson)

It's DeColt country

Joey Poison (c) vs. Ed Monton?/An Opponent of Phil Vibert's Choosing

Poison is a serviceable midcard champion

SoF are a gatekeeper team

Team Whippy (Whippy the Clown, ??? and ???) vs. Team Gargantuan (Gargantuan, ??? and ???)

Gargantuan is a royal pain, but he can get over quickly

Trent Shaffer vs. Ryan Powell vs. Thrill Seeker vs. Bobby Thomas

I've seen all these guys rise to the top ( most with NOTBPW) but Shaffer can be a big player in CGC as well.

juggaloninjalee · December 22, 2010

Team DeColt (Jack, Alex, Ricky and Ed Monton?) vs. Team Elite (Eddie Chandler, Dan DaLay, Shooter Sean Deeley, Nate Johnson)

The Decolts are over enough and good enough in angles to regain the heat lost by losing this match. As for Monton I think he will take the title shot.

Poinson will go over Monton.

Grayson and Zeus will go on to feud after this match I think.

Team Whippy (Whippy the Clown, ??? and ???) vs. Team Gargantuan (Gargantuan, ??? and ???)

No idea who would team with these guys but I think Whippys Team will win with a pinfall over someone other than Gargantuan.

Trent Shaffer vs. Ryan Powell vs. Thrill Seeker vs. Bobby Thomas

Bobby Thomas is on his way to building some momentum trying to join Elite.

TheKenwyne · December 23, 2010

The marketing department goes into overdrive with just 24 hours to showdown, with TV and the Internet flooded with ads so that everyone knows the card for CGC Elimination.

CGC Elimination VIII

Main Event Traditional Elimination Tag Match: Team DeColt (Jack, Alex, Ricky and Ed Monton?) vs. Team Elite (Eddie Chandler, Dan DaLay, Shooter Sean Deeley, Nate Johnson)

Traditional Elimination Tag Match:Team Whippy (Whippy the Clown, ??? and ???) vs. Team Gargantuan (Gargantuan, ??? and ???)

Trent Shaffer vs. Ryan Powell vs. Thrill Seeker vs. Bobby Thomas

Last call on predictions. Also, welcome to juggaloninjalee!

CGC Elimination VIII

Because cheesy and CGC go together like jam and toast, the opening video to Elimination is set to Europe's 'The Final Countdown', which continues to blast through the arena as a collosal pyro goes off and the sold out Kamloops Royal Athletic Park goes barmy. Our announcers welcome us to the show...

Marty PAPIN: Welcome CGC fans to the first pay-per-view of 2010, CGC Elimination VIII! I'm Marty Papin...

Eric TYLER: And I'm Eric Tyler, and we're coming at you live from the sold out Kamloops Royal Athletic Park in Ontario Canada!

PAPIN: And what a show we have for you all tonight! In the main event this evening, Team DeColt faces Team Elite in a Traditional Elimination Tag match.

TYLER: But first up we have a four way dance, with some competitors who have taken their time getting 2010 underway.

PAPIN: You got that right Eric. We have some of the hottest up and comers on the singles circuit here in CGC facing off in this match made by Phil Vibert earlier this week.

The competitors had made their entrances before the PPV went on air, and so we get underway with referee Francis Long ringing the bell.

Trent Shaffer vs. Ryan Powell vs. Thrill Seeker vs. Bobby Thomas

An open, even entertaining affair here that gets the evening underway. Shaffer is particularly impressive, but Thomas stands out due to his contrasting style – a mat based technician to the trio of high flyers. The finish arrives while Powell and Thrill Seeker are brawling on the outside – Thomas crotches Shaffer and blasts him with the Specialist Touch for the three count.

Winner: Bobby Thomas
Rating: C-

PAPIN: What a barn burner to open our evening here!

TYLER: It wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but it was OK I guess.

THOMAS gets very excited with his celebration, going completely over the top as he rubs it in his opponent's faces. SEEKER and POWELL trudge to the back grumbling while SHAFFER hugs his knees centre ring and shakes his head disconsolately. Nate JOHNSON emerges on the ramp and flashes a smile to his former partner, who just gets even more excited as the PPV cuts away to the next segment.

***

We head to the back where Adrian GARCIA waits with three quarters of Elite in his company. Nate JOHNSON joins them at the gallop, muttering an apology and getting a 'tch' from the executive consultant, who turns to face the camera, flashes it his winning smile and starts talking.

GARCIA: Good evening, Elitists. You have tuned in to Canadian Elite Combat's Elimination pay per view. Your main event? It is set to see four of the company's – nay, the country's – best athletes go toe to toe with some schmucks in an Elimination tag match. When they win, and that's a when, not an if, I will not only manage the most dominant wrestlers in CEC history, but also the whole promotion – I will be such a success that the board won't be able to deny me. What has that muppet Phil Vibert achieved? Nothing. Then look what I've achieved – near domination of the company, with every title held by our group at one point. And tonight we take a step towards getting one of those straps back – when one of my lads pins Jack DeColt in the match tonight, they guarentee themselves a title shot at Luck of the Draw. Tune in later, folks, to find out which lucky member of Elite will get lucky – get it? - and secure themselves the honour of winning back the World title for our team. Because you know it's matter of who, not if.

Garcia breaks out the greasy smile as the PPV cuts away to the next segment.

Send In the Clowns hits and WHIPPY the Clown emerges, with his team made up of Grimm QUIBBLE and Shane NELSON, both in clown make up and carrying balloon animals.

PAPIN: Haha! This is brilliant!

TYLER: They look like clowns if you ask me...

They reach the ring and instantly the angry sounds of Crush 'Em hits the speakers and GARGANTUAN stalks out, Philippe LAGRENIER and Nathan BLACK in tow. They all grin with sick satisfaction as they enter the ring and wait for the ref to ring the bell. Which Francis Long does.

Team Whippy (Whippy the Clown, Grimm Quibble and Shane Nelson) vs. Team Gargantuan (Gargantuan, Philippe LaGrenier and Nathan Black)

The early goings are full of the standard quick tags that mark the start of such matches, with everyone getting a chance to go with everyone else. However, it's quickly established that the heels have the other hand – Gargantuan is unstoppable whenever he's in ring, and only Whippy has a clear upper hand over Black and LaGrenier. It's Gargantuan who gets the first elimination, nearly paralysingly Grimm Quibble with the Ultimate Backbreaker. Nelson and Whippy combine to get back into the game, a drop toe hold/basement drop kick combo knocking Black out of the running. Whippy then deals with LaGrenier all by himself, giving him the Clowning Around and making it a two on one in his team's favour. But Gargantuan is still unstoppable. A monster lariat does for Nelson, before Whippy makes a valiant effort at stopping the goliath with his speed, but his legs had been worked over all match by the entire evil team, and Gargantuan reaps the reward, catching the nippy clown and downing him with the Ultimate Backbreaker for the three.

Winner: Team Gargantuan
Rating: D+

GARGANTUAN stands centre ring, his huge shoulders heaving from the effort he'd exerted. He looks down on the battered and broken forms of NELSON and WHIPPY. He laughs. Evilly. And leaves up the ramp.

TYLER: Not much scares me, Marty, but that... thing... he's too much for me. Even for me.

PAPIN: He is truly terrifying. I'm not sure I'll sleep well tonight at all.

The faces stagger up the ramp after the monster, and the camera zooms out, preparing for the next segment.

FIRE IT UP! The crowd, who had been brooding following the destruction of their fan favourites, go nuts as the DeColts stride out of the entranceway, complete with all their usual paraphanlia. JACK has his title and Hotstuff MARIE, and ALEX and RICKY have hats. Yeah, they're not as important at the moment. The younger DeColts discard their hats into the crowd as JACK fetches a mic.

JACK: Hello DeColt Country!

A cheap pop follows.

JACK: We stand here tonight on the brink of greatness...

RICKY: Wait a sec, what? Who are you kidding, bro?

JACK and RICKY exchange glances, and burst into laughter. ALEX cuts across their peals of ecstasy.

ALEX: Yeah, we're kidding. What sort of greatness could we possibly get from beating these 'Elite' tools again?

RICKY: Same old, same old, dude...

JACK: It's just another day at the office. The fou...

JACK pauses. A pained look passes across his features.

JACK: The three of us beating up the same fools for years, and every time we've come out on top. Why should that change now?

ALEX: I'll answer that: it shouldn't. With or without Ed Monton, and no, we do not know his decision, we'll trash those Elite posers like we did at last year's Elimination, and like we did the year before that...

RICKY: And the year before that, and the year before that...

JACK: We get the drift, boys.

ALEX: The point is, Elite stand no chance tonight. They never have, and they never will. Tonight we simple confirm a foregone conclusion, we simply restate who rules?

'DECOLT RULES!'

Fire It Up hits again and the DeColts make their way to the back to tumultuous applause.

The Garcia-approved hype video plays bigging up Elite – it's a slightly longer version of the one that played on Title Bout Wrestling a couple of weeks back. It concludes with the words 'The True Champions of CGC' and a © Adrian Garcia 2010.

Rating: C+

Who's Sandy Jenkins hits and Tag Champs Zeus MAXMILLION and Stevie GRAYSON emerge from behing the curtain, belts held high and slightly forced smiles plastered over their faces.

TYLER: This is the first time I've seen these two enter together in ages.

PAPIN: Not something that bodes well for the current CGC World Tag Team Champions, eh?

The duo make it to the ring and the instrumental cover of Soldier of Fortune cuts across their jaunty theme. FATE and DESTINY stalk out from the back, all brooding and all business.

TYLER: My fellow veterans look scary intense tonight.

PAPIN: I'm glad I'm not stepping in the ring opposite them tonight, that's for sure.

MAXMILLION and GRAYSON hand their belts to the ref, who hoists them up to the rafters, confirming the following as a sanctioned Tag Title match. Long proceeds to ring the bell to get the match underway!

Zues Maxmillion and Stevie Grayson © vs. The Soldiers of Fortune – CGC World Tag Team Championship

To start with it looks like Maxmillion and Grayson have rediscovered their mojo. Maxmillion overpowers the brawlers, with scoop slams and big legitimate-tinged suplexes leaving both challengers in trouble. Grayson is like an angry terrier whenever he's in ring, bouncing off ropes and hitting lightning fast attacks that leave the Soldiers reeling. Destiny's in ring with Grayson as the Champ sets him up for Shades of Grayson, but Maxmillion blind tags himself in, and grins at Grayson as the American remonstrates with him. Destiny takes advantage to tag out to Fate, who levels both champs with a double clothesline. Maxmillion powers out of the resulting cover and goes to work, tossing Fate around the ring like nobody's business, before tagging himself out again. Once again Grayson sets up his finisher, and once again Maxmillion tags himself back in. This time the argument develops into shouting pitch, and the crowd boo voraciously as Maxmillion snaps, hoisting Grayson up and destroying him with the Thunder Bolt (Argentine DDT). Maxmillion tags out to his now unconscious partner and leaves the ring, apparently without remorse. A battered Fate scampers across the ring and makes the cover to crown NEW champions.

Winners and NEW CHAMPIONS: The Soldiers of Fortune
Rating: D+

FATE and DESTINY celebrate wildly with the straps, real emotion showing through on their faces for the first time in, well, ever.

TYLER: Well they didn't do much to deserve it, but we have new World Tag Team Champions.

PAPIN: Indeed we do. This marks the 7th time the Soldiers of Fortune have held these belts.

TYLER: And they haven't changed a... wait a second...

As the smarks chortle at Tyler's in joke, GRAYSON gets to his feet, apparently close to tears. MAXMILLION turns at the top of the ramp. They staredown. MAXMILLION shrugs. GRAYSON beats the mat in frustration and storms towards his partner in a cloud of fury, but MAXMILLION disappears behind the curtain. GRAYSON bursts into a run after him as the Soldiers make their way up the ramp to a lack of reaction – but between themselves they are obviously thrilled with their victory.

Alice Cooper's Poison blasts across the arena and the fans get up to their feet as Canadian Champion Joey POISON makes his enigmatic entrance – multi coloured flashing lights and extravagant pyros lighting his way as he cruises down to the ring.

TYLER: Here comes the Canadian Champ.

PAPIN: And we're just seconds away from discovering who he'll defend against. Come on, Ed, I hope you made the right decision.

He didn't. Heart Wrenching Man by Thrush Helmet hits and a very subdued Ed MONTON strides out of the entranceway. The crowd pop for him but he doesn't seem to notice, instead striding blearily to the ring. Long checks he's OK, takes the belt from POISON and rings the bell.

Joey Poison © vs. Ed Monton – CGC Canadian Championship

Monton seems a little distracted to start with, and Poison looks a little reluctant to take advantage. He offers Monton a handshake, but the veteran pushes him away and gets down to business. And to start with business is good – he overpowers the Champ and cuts him off whenever he looks to make things more speed based or technically so. Poison looks battered and out of it after six minutes of methodical offence, and so Monton heads to the top rope with the idea of finishing it with an elbow drop. Poison has it scouted and evades, and Monton smashes his arm into the ring. From there the match becomes the injured arm of Monton getting steadily worked over by the champ with armbars, arm wringers and arm drags. When it comes to hit the Antidote Cradle, Poison wrenches extra hard on the arm, and the battered veteran stays down for the three.

Winner and still champion: Joey Poison
Rating: C-

POISON helps MONTON to his feet and the older man raises the Champ's arm, while nursing his own injured one. POISON claps him on his good shoulder and leaves the ring. MONTON looks defeated and a little shell shocked as he follows the man who defeated him to the back.

TYLER: I've never seen Ed look so battered and beaten.

PAPIN: Could this be the beginning of the end for the Canadian Legend?

A hype video plays recapping the most recent instalments in the DeColt-Elite saga, and bigging up the main event.

Fire It Up hits and the DeColts make their trademark entrance for the second time that night – just the three of them. JACK looks angry. ALEX and RICKY play to the crowd while their brother strides to the ring in a haze of anger.

PAPIN: Well, we know now this is as full strength as Team DeColt is ever going to be tonight.

TYLER: And Jack looks P-I-Double-Sed about it.

The generic 'evil' theme – some nu metal, obviously – hits and Elite stalk out, looking mean. Adrian GARCIA is at the lead of the column, followed by Dan DALAY, Eddie CHANDLER, Nate JOHNSON and Shooter Sean DEELEY. They hit the ring. CHANDLER makes obscene gestures at Hotstuff MARIE. GARCIA gloats about the match being four on three. The manager bails from the ring and Francis Long signals for the bell to be rung.

Team DeColt (Alex, Ricky and Jack DeColt) vs. Team Elite (Eddie Chandler, Dan DaLay, Nate Johnson and Shooter Sean Deeley)

After the obligatory quick tag based match opening period, the competitors get down to work each other over. Alex traps Johnson away from his partners and beats him down, only for the former Specialist to weasel his way out of it and tag in Sean Deeley, who corners Alex and brings the pain on him. Rinse and repeat until Nate's back in ring facing Jack, who suprises him with a snap-mare and secures the first fall for the good guys by causing Johnson to tap out to the End of Days.

Teams are tied at 3-3

Deeley replaces Johnson and gives the world champion a hard time, smacking him round the ring with some bone jarring suplexes and painful joint locks, until Jack tags out to Ricky. Deeley looks to continue his rampage but he runs right onto a DeColt Throat Thrust. Ricky slips behind the doubled up Shooter and hooks him for the DeColt 45, but Deeley fights free of the headlock and drops Ricky on his head with a German suplex. He bridges is out and eliminates the youngest DeColt in short order.

Team Elite lead 3-2

Alex is in to replace his brother and he simply overpowers Deeley. Monster clotheslines, big stomps and a sit out powerbomb leave the Shooter wobbly, but he escapes from a rear chinlock attempt and tags in big Dan DaLay. DaLay and Alex go tit for tat with right hands at centre ring, before Alex is knocked sprawling into his corner. He tags out to Jack who manages to take DaLay off his feet with a drop kick, causing the big man to bring Deeley back in. Deeley lands a German Suplex on Jack, but he lands near enough Alex to make the tag to safety. Deeley doesn't notice and bridges out the pin regardless. Francis Long pulls him off and remonstrates with the youngster, but Deeley looks clueless as to what he's done wrong. He turns around with a shrug of his shoulders and gets planted by Alex's DeColt Driver for the three.

Teams are tied at 2-2

There is another long, drawn out 'even' section, with both teams getting plenty of offence. DaLay mainly battles Alex and Chandler mainly fights Jack, but everyone faces off with everyone else at some point. Alex is the next to go though, planted with a DaLay Driver while Chandler distracts him from across the ring.

Team Elite lead 2-1

The giant celebrates and turns right into a snapmare, and then the End of Days. The tap is a formality.

Teams are tied at 1-1

So it all comes down to a fight between two of the best competitors in the company. It's like their fight on Title Bout Wrestling a few weeks back, but more intense, more compeitive and much, much longer. Both men hit moves on each other, and both fight clear of the other's signature hold. But Jack's the more worn down competitor – he's seen more time in ring and his team has never had the advantage, while Chandler has spent more of the match lounging on the apron and making eyes at random girls in the crowd. He tries to force Jack to tap to the Fabulous Stretch, but the World Champ is having none of it. However, he can't muster the energy to kick out of the Elitist Plex, and Eddie Chandler secures victory for Elite and a title shot at Luck of the Draw.

Winners: Team Elite
Rating: B-

PAPIN: Oh no. This is horrible.

TYLER: I should be in there protecting this company's honour Marty. I'm a failure!

The defeated members of Elite make their way out from the back and join CHANDLER and GARCIA in celebrating. Streamers and confetti are dropped from on high as Elite go nuts. JACK DeColt rolls out of the ring looking angry and defeated. Hotstuff MARIE tries to comfort him but he pushes her away. He strides to the back grumpily as the commentators hype the upcoming edition of Title Bout Wrestling in sombre terms as the PPV goes off air.
