Brown & Haynes vs. Nakazawa & Yoshikawa

Hirokichi Yoshikawa gets a nostalgic pop from those fans with longer memories than most. It’s been nearly five years since the Japanese star last wrestled in a NOTBPW ring, and a Young Lion title win is perhaps not the most esteemed of accomplishments. The rest of the crowd don’t get much time to warm up to him and his flame-haired partner either; Brown and Haynes waste no time in tearing into their opponents, allowing them only token offence. A missed avalanche gives them an opportunity to do their thing, showing good teamwork as they work Haynes over in the corner, but Haynes retaliates to a dual Irish whip with a brutal double clothesline, turning Yoshikawa and Nakazawa inside out. Brown is tagged in, and an Anaconda Vice makes quick work of a dazed Nakazawa.

The women’s locker room is full backstage, the various members of the division warming up, chatting, or just catching a little bit of rest. In the case of Melody, she is staring a hole in the head of her rival, Kristabel Plum. The atmosphere is a little sombre, and on commentary, Tommy London reminds us of last week, when the wrestlers were insulted after what had been a very competitive match.

There is a knock at the door.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/VictoriaStone.jpg

Melody: What do you want? If you want to apologise for your brother, then spare me. He meant every word of what he said.

Victoria frowns and folds her arms.

Victoria Stone: I wasn’t planning on apologising for him. I was going to call him an idiot. Edd is so obsessed with figuring out how many times he can backflip in a match that he wouldn’t know good wrestling if it punched him in the face – and right now, that’s exactly what I feel like doing to him.

A despondent looking Sara Marie York speaks up in a quiet voice.

SMY: That was like my boss saying that I was terrible at my job on my first day of work…

Victoria Stone: Well… whoever’s in charge of the signings certainly has a better eye for talent than those two jokers. I don’t know who they paid off or blackmailed to get this ridiculous ‘Executive’ position, but they are NOT in control around here. Edd and Freddy can make matches and that’s it. I heard that straight from the board. Anything they say about you is pure trash talking.

Lauren Easter: Damn right it is…

Victoria Stone: The point is, you are all phenomenal wrestlers. You all worked hard at learning your craft, and every single time you step between those ropes, you show that to everyone in Canada. Just because a couple of idiots who would be more at home sitting around playing video games than wrestling tried to insult you, doesn’t mean it’s true. I bet anyone in this room could make either one of Edd or Freddy tap out. If they can’t appreciate what you girls can do in a match… well it’s their loss. They could learn something.

As per usual, Maverick is looking less than impressed with his personal hype parade as he appears on the stage, his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R65UAUjG9ng" rel="external nofollow">slow and sombre theme</a> at great odds to the constant jabbering of the Can-Am Blondes.

The Natural: You’ve hoped for it!

Owen Love: You’ve prayed for it!

The Natural: You’ve made illicit deals behind the arena for it!

Owen Love: Your fix of John Maverick is here!

John Maverick vs. Erik Strong

A thoughtful expression appears on the face of Maverick as Strong comes bounding out from backstage, offering high fives all the way down the ramp. Once the youngster reaches the ring, he rolls inside and offers Maverick a very focused stare down. Tommy London notes that Erik’s tag team partner Davis Wayne Newton came as close as anyone has to outwrestling Maverick and beating him at his own game, and that Newton would surely have been coaching Erik ahead of this. That statement is rapidly proven correct as Strong uses his agility to stay one step ahead of Maverick, occasionally testing the technician with a few holds of his own. Victoria opines that Strong is being a bit too tentative – whilst Maverick knows the counters for most of the tricks in the book, if Erik isn’t clamping them on properly, then they’re not going to do Maverick significant damage. Indeed, Strong’s cautious approach seems to irritate Maverick more than really hurt him, the real impacts coming when Erik picks up the pace.

It’s a combination of the two factors that costs Strong – dropping Maverick with a tidy neckbreaker, he follows up with an anklelock… then pops up, bounces off the ropes and goes for a senton. Maverick recovers quickly enough to move out of the way, and he quickly capitalises, sinking in a nasty looking triangle hold. Townsend crows that Maverick is showing Strong how submission wrestling works, and it’s difficult to argue otherwise as the Silent Threat puts on a real clinic, working Strong over from head to toe. Erik manages to get to the ropes after a particularly vicious single-leg crab, and as Maverick tries to haul him back again, the younger wrestler does the unexpected – he lets go, using the momentum from Maverick to blast him with a kick to the gut. The technician doubles over, and Strong regains his feet to emphatically drop a leg across the back of Maverick’s head, dropping him. Strong hits the ropes and just as Maverick is getting to his knees, nails a basement dropkick, sending him snapping straight back to the mat. Sensing the crowd are behind him now, Erik stalks Maverick, allowing him to regain his feet… hurricanrana- No! Maverick grabs the ropes and Strong whiplashes himself straight to the floor! He’s groggy! Maverick takes advantage! Inverted facelock! Body scissors! Deadly Silence! Maverick puts his body in the way of Strong’s route to the ropes, and after a few seconds, Erik is forced to tap out!

Maverick def. Erik Strong via submission in 14:51 w/Deadly Silence. 71/C+

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/OwenLove_alt2.jpgw/http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/TheNatural_alt1.jpghttp://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Events/vs7.jpghttp://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/HarrisonHash_alt.jpg

Owen Love vs. Harrison Hash

The Can-Am Blondes are very enthusiastic about celebrating Maverick’s victory, but ‘the Silent Threat’ is less than interested, and immediately heads backstage, leaving the Blondes to blow kisses to the audience by themselves. They’re quickly cut off by the music of Harrison Hash, who is looking very intense as he heads down the ramp. Love makes a great show of limbering up as Natural exits the ring, and he begs off starting the match three times in a row to official Matthew White, claiming that he’s not ready yet. Growing sick of the stalling, Hash has a word with the referee, which gives Love a chance to jump him from behind! The bell is rung and Love quickly lays the boots into Hash, looking to press home the advantage gained from the cheap shot. The Blonde has the advantage in the early going, but this is turned on its head as he whips Hash into the ropes and the former Panda Mask demonstrates his high-flying credentials by using the momentum to launch himself into the air and take Love out with a flying forearm.

Love is rattled, and it gives Hash a chance to shake off the cobwebs, locking on a series of holds, focusing his assault on Love’s right arm, wearing down one of the main elements of the Love Gun. It’s as Hash cranks up a particularly high-angle chickenwing that Natural distracts the referee, protesting about the sign of a fan at ringside. As White investigates, Love uses the window of opportunity to lash backwards with a boot, catching Hash square in the crotch! Hash goes rolling away in pain, and suddenly Natural has ‘lost sight of the miscreant’ as Love makes the pin. 1… 2… kick out at the last second! Love can’t believe it, but he doesn’t waste time complaining , hauling Hash to his feet and lifting him onto his shoulders, thinking Love Gun… and Hash twists, gripping hold of the injured arm – Love’s too hurt to keep his grip, he lets go! Hash drops from the Blonde’s shoulders and sends him flying with an arm drag! Hash presses home the advantage, makes for a front kick – caught! Enzuigiri! Love drops bonelessly to the mat! 1… 2… kick out! Hash lifts Love to his feet, front face lock – broken! Love with a jab to the face, then a clothesline- ducked! Hash slips in behind Love! MONTREAL DEEP SLEEPER! It’s locked in! Love goes berserk flailing and jerking to try and escape the hold, but Hash’s grip is too strong, Love’s tapping!

SEGMENT #3

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/HarrisonHash_alt.jpg

The victorious Hash releases the hold, leaving Love moaning and clutching his throat and arm. Natural enters the ring to console his partner and Hash exits, both hands held high in the air and a big grin on his face at a hard fought victory. Hash takes his time going up the ramp, spending a little quality time with the fans on both sides, before walking up to the stage, where he faces the crowd one last time and raises his hands in the air, nodding in appreciation.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/RKHayes.jpg

Hayes SLAMS into Hash with such force that the smaller man is knocked halfway back down the ramp. Hayes stalks after his prey, and Hash painfully gets to his feet, firing off a couple of weak shots to Hayes’ torso before the bruiser grips him by the throat and hurls him further back down the ramp. The Blondes quickly get the hell out of dodge as Hayes continues the assault, slamming Hash’s head into the ring, then whipping him at speed into the ring steps, leaving the outside of the ring looking like a car wreck. Satisfied that Hash is motionless amidst the destruction, Hayes heads into the back once again.

Obviously, after what was sprung on him at Big City Brawl, Dan Jr. wants to be ready for any more ‘impromptu’ matches.

Reaching the ring, Dan Jr. calls for a microphone from ringside and quickly receives one.

Dan Stone Jr.: Edd. Freddy. I know you’re both watching this. Get out here.

There are a few moments of silence, and then The Executives’ theme hits.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/EddStone_alt4.jpghttp://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/FreddyHuggins_alt1.jpg

Neither man looks particularly worried as they come out, smiling to each other, Freddy cracking a joke to his buddy and both laughing. Dan Jr., conversely, remains implacable, waiting for the pair to finish messing around.

Dan Stone Jr.: I don’t know how you two managed to get into the position that you did, but being general manager is no laughing matter, and you’re treating it like a damn spitting match!

Edd Stone: Someone’s bitter about their kid brother having more authority than them!

Dan Stone Jr.: There are bigger things to worry about tha-

Edd Stone: That’s what she said!

Freddy and Edd fist bump. Dan Jr. takes a deep, deep breath.

Dan Stone Jr.: There are more important things to worry about than some kind of ridiculous… sibling rivalry!

Edd Stone: Well since you’re the centre of your own universe, Danny, it might shock you to hear that this, for once, isn’t anything to do with you, so how about you butt out? NOTBPW doesn’t revolve around you, no matter how much you want to believe that.

Dan Stone Jr.: Stop playing games and answer me dammit! This is-

Freddy Huggins: Can I just stop you there? Badass. We aren’t playing games, Dan. In fact, we’re so efficient, we already arranged a match for you tonight! Your opponent is- oh wait, there he is.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/JohnnyBloodstone.jpg

Johnny Bloodstone attacks Dan Jr. from behind, having snuck into the ring from the crowd! The match is on!

Dan Stone Jr. vs. Johnny Bloodstone

This one starts off with Dan Jr. already in a world of trouble. Bloodstone is not the type of person you want to get jumped by, more so when you’re about to be forced to fight him. Bloodstone goes after Dan with malicious glee, practically tearing his top right from his back in his eagerness to inflict damage on his opponent. Official Greig eventually pulls Bloodstone away, but by that point, Dan Jr. is dazed and hurt, a stream of blood trickling from his lip. The combatants lock up, and Bloodstone executes a perfect side headlock takedown before demonstrating his vaunted technical skills. Victoria, evidently upset at the beating her brother is taking but trying to remain professional, observes that in their clashes over the years, it had always been Dan’s speed that had given him the edge over Bloodstone, as their technical abilities had practically cancelled one another out.

And Dan never does get the necessary momentum going, a desperation jawbreaker giving him some breathing room to fire off a series of precise shots to Bloodstone’s head and body; but his opponent has just started too far ahead of the game. A wayward lariat is deftly snagged into an armbar, and Bloodstone transitions the hold, hooks the other arm… Bloodstone Mutilation! Weakened and in the centre of the ring, Dan Stone Jr. is forced to submit.

Jacob Jett vs. Steve DeColt

If Jett has any nerves at the idea of facing down the world champion, then he certainly isn’t showing it, opening up this one by charging at DeColt and nailing him straight in the head with a flying enzuigiri! Jett dives on top of DeColt and starts hitting him with shots driven more by enthusiasm than calculation, allowing the champion to shove the rookie away after a couple of seconds. Jett leaps back in with a flying forearm, but DeColt has measured for it, and drops Jett HARD with a flapjack. That’s followed up by slinging Jett straight into the ring post, and the tone is set from there. Jett isn’t best known for his brawling, but he throws himself at DeColt with innovative striking – DeColt catches a gut kick, ducks the attempt enzuigiri follow up, then eats the rolling mule kick that Jett pulls out next.

Still, Jett’s sheer guts actually play against him here – his desire to stand toe-to-toe with DeColt perhaps showing up his inexperience. Jett’s star is bright, but the power brawling game is DeColt’s realm, and he shows that very well as he decks Jett with a distinctly European uppercut and smashes a knee into his face as he tries to scramble back to his feet. DeColt waits a moment… then hits the rope and plants Jett with the DeColt Stampede as he rises.

Steve DeColt: That match was just another example of why I’m DeGreat. DeMaster. DeColt. But right now, I have bigger fish to fry. No less pathetic, but bigger, I suppose. Jeremy Stone. May I call you Jezza? I’ve heard your friends call you Jezza, I take it that you don’t mind if your betters call you that too. In any case, I have news about the contendership situation. That’s right, Jezza, you might be getting two sniffs of gold this decade! Don’t get too excited though, even if you make it to me, there isn’t a chance in hell you’ll win. Still… I do so enjoy giving an old man one last shot at glory.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/JeremyStone_Self3.jpg

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyggY_R3jU8" rel="external nofollow">Jeremy’s theme hits and the man himself steps out from backstage</a>. His hands bunch into fists as he marches down the ramp, but DeColt holds up a hand.

Steve DeColt: Whoa whoa, now hold up a second. Like I said; if you make it to me. The Executives lined up an opponent for you to face for the number one contendership. He’s lost a couple times lately but uh… as I think you might know, he’s a … pretty persuasive guy.

Jeremy Stone vs. R.K. Hayes

DeColt moves to ringside for this one, studying both men intently, but not being much more than a distraction, overall. Hayes sets out with something to prove, and goes at Jeremy hammer and tongs, his clubbing blows having even more vehemence than normal. The eldest Stone does his best to ride the impacts, slipping as much of each strike as he can, not quick enough to dodge, so deflecting some of each attack with his body. In time, he seizes a chance – as an uncommon Hayes kick no more than glances him, Jeremy sweeps the leg and pounces, rolling Hayes over to cinch in an inverted STF, neutralising the big man’s strength. It’s a long while before Hayes can manage to turn the hold over and elbow his way out, and his aggression is much more tempered from then on.

Hayes headbutts his way out of a surfboard, irish whipping Jeremy and then dropping him with a nasty big boot. Hitting the mat hard, Jeremy looks groggy, and R.K. thinks big, goes big… and misses with the leg drop as Jeremy rolls out of the way! Jeremy kicks a seated Hayes right in the chest with a thunderous smack, dropping a knee to the sternum as he moves in for the cover. 1… 2… Hayes POWERS out! Jeremy’s thrown across the ring! Both men stand, and Hayes clocks Jeremy with a huge clothesline before hauling him right back up, sets Jeremy up in the gutwrench position- no! Jeremy catches Hayes’ leg with his own and arrests the lift! But knee to the gut from Hayes, he pushes Jeremy back, shoulder blocks him to the mat with authority! Pin! 1… 2… no! Hayes tries to stand, but wait – Jeremy has the arm! Hayes stands up regardless, but he’s off balance! He tries a short arm clothesline- drop toe hold! Jeremy adjusts his grip, snagging Hayes’ arm between his knees now… and secures the crossface! STONE HOLD! Hayes taps! DeColt looks on with interest… yet… doesn’t seem too put out by the result.

Jeremy Stone def. R.K Hayes in 18:29 via submission w/Stone Hold. 80/B.

Overall Rating: 76/B-

Nice card! Will try to catch next round of predictions. Marked out little bit seeing Torch & Stone like the idea a lot, hope to see them again or any of the other three Stone trained boys.

Blake Trask · March 21, 2012

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Looking back at my booking, there's some stuff that I'm not really happy with how I executed, but I guess it's a learning experience.

I brought in Torch and Stone because I wanted to broaden the tag team division, and they had existing experience. I mean, I probably could have picked better guys (Torch isn't a particularly good worker, to be honest), but Stone has potential and pre-existing history, so I figured, why not? It's not a bad punt.

The other former NOTBPW Japanese guys... I'm not 100% positive. Kenko Takemitsu and Yoshii Shiomi I can't see myself signing - they're both 30 or approaching it, and I already have a lot of undercard guys who need more popularity/exposure who are younger and of comparable ability.

Shingen Miyazaki I'm going backwards and forwards on. He's a cut above the others (even Stone) and would fit in great in the undercard, I'm just not sure I want to flood the roster with new guys. I have a problem with bloated rosters already, and I want to keep tabs on that, considering this is a diary.

* More varied card here... honestly in retrospect R.K. Hayes wasn't the most logical guy to have in the main event match, especially off the back of a loss. I guess being big and scary gets you some extra leeway now and then...

* I don't tend to be an even-stevens booker, but Bloodstone looks like a chump if can never get the job done IN the ring.

* Love has featured a lot, but isn't as over as you'd think, considering he's largely only been in decently-grading angles. Hash has been in good matches (and importantly, beat Hayes way back when), so was actually more over already.

* Am I overpushing Jett? It doesn't feel like it, considering he's lost all but one match so far. He's getting the 'jobbing upwards' treatment for sure, but I see him as a worthwhile investment. Once his psychology improves.

<div style="text-align:center;">Stone Family Residence.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/EddStone_alt4.jpg

Edd sits in what passes for his office; his old bedroom, which during his exile from Canada, had apparently been used as storage for a ridiculous array of NOTBPW memorabilia. The youngest Stone supposes that not ALL of the merchandise ideas could be winners - like the R.K. Hayes plush doll that growled when you pushed on its stomach. Or the Mammoth shirts. Because, well. Mammoth.

In any case, the young 'Executive' is attempting to do paperwork whilst sitting cross-legged on his bed (the duvet is covered with a likeness of Mighty Cavanagh), a task that is going about as well as expected considering the surroundings and Edd's complete lack of anything approaching a professional attitude towards work. As such, Edd has found a pair of action figures and is having them wrestle, though it would be odd circumstances indeed that would see Tamara McFly facing off with Panda Mask.

Edd is narrating the 'action' as it happens.

"But Tamara catches the leg! Enzuigiri! No, she ducks and Panda splats on the canvas! She's still got hold of him- steps in - she's got the other leg! Here it comes... SCORPION DEATHLOCK! The Panda's tapping! The Panda's tapping! The crowd boos the house down! How could you possibly make a Panda submit? They're an endangered species for crying out loud!"

There's a knock at the door, and Edd hides the action figures under the pillow as it opens.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/DanStoneJr_Self2.jpg

"I have no idea what I just heard, Edd, and I'm not sure I want to know."

Unsurprisingly, Edd is glowering. "I thought Dad told us to leave each other alone. I'm working here."

Dan Jr. can't keep the sardonic edge from his voice. "Planning to get the next big heel over by beating up wildlife?"

"Well, you have to admit, they'd get massive heat for it..."

Dan Jr. sighs. "Look Edd, I didn't come here to pick a fight with you."

"Could've fooled me."

"For the love of-" Dan Jr. stops, then takes a deep breath to compose himself. "I came to thank you, Edd."

There's a long pause. Eventually, Edd raises an eyebrow. "I think you're gonna have to run that one by me again, Danny. I could've sworn you just said you wanted to-"

"Thank you. Yes."

"...This isn't a trick, is it? This is totally a trick."

"It's not a damn trick! I'm being one hundred percent genuine!"

"That's what you said that one time you told me you wanted to teach me a 'cool new hold' you'd thought of!"

"I did teach you it."

"By putting me in it. So tightly that I couldn't walk straight for three weeks."

The brothers glare at each other.

"Will you just hear me out, Edd? I promise there are no holds involved. I won't even come near you."

"...Alright, fine."

"I wanted to thank you for hiring Hirokichi. It means a lot to me."

Edd sits up, surprised. "Yoshikawa? I wasn't doing ya'll a favour, I w-"

"I know, but that doesn't mean it wasn't appreciated. Hiro was... very upset when he was released from PHGW, and I think coming back here has given him a real boost."

Edd shrugs. "They were dumb to let him go. He's only gonna get better."

"Well... let's just leave it at that I'm happy to have him back. I taught him, and I'm glad of the opportunity to work with him again," Dan gives an awkward nod. "So uh. I'll see you later, Steve and Johnny wanted to go over a few things about our match next week."

Dan Jr. ducks out, closing the door behind him, and leaving Edd looking thoughtful. After a moment, he pulls out his cell phone and dials a number.

"Hey Freddy! Listen, is it like, opposite day today or something? Danny was just nice to me..." </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Events/NOTBPWChampionshipWrestling.jpg</div> Wednesday, Week 2, February 2010 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="31868" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>We're rapidly approaching Clash Classic, and with Steve DeColt's challenger for the Canadian title now confirmed, both the champion and number one contender Jeremy Stone will have opportunities to build valuable momentum going into the PPV with matches this week. Another match and another win last week for The Business duo of Omar Brown and Harlem Haynes makes their case for another shot at the tag team titles of Wild West. The feisty pair of brawlers will take on the up-and-coming Tri Force, with the winners going on to challenge for the belts at Clash Classic! Brown & Haynes will be looking to regain what they lost at the beginning of the year, whilst Erik Strong and Davis Wayne Newton could really establish their credentials as a team with a victory here. Speaking of Wild West, Westybrook and Cavanagh may not even be champions come Clash Classic, as General Managers Edd Stone and Freddy Huggins have seen fit to give them a surprise title defence this week. The Executives claim it's just because they like 'keeping people on their toes', but regardless of the reasoning, the unlikely duo of Canadian Dragon and Derek Frost are sure to make for a pair of very hungry challengers. And... speaking of 'keeping people on their toes', Freddy Huggins has also announced, after being 'impressed by the attributes' of Lauren Easter, that the rookie will clash with Kristabel Plum with the women's title on the line! Easter lost to Plum in their last encounter in singles competition, but the challenger earned that match back in a recent tag team match - who will come out on top this time? With admirable persistence, Jacob Jett has once again called out the veteran Dark Angel, announcing that he's getting better every time he steps foot in the ring, and he wants a chance to prove that to Angel. The former Canadian champion has responded only by accepting this challenge, though this writer can't help but wonder if Jett is getting in over his head once again... Tag team action next, as Jeremy Stone picks a partner of his choice to take on The Executives! Edd and Freddy have made it perfectly clear that they're entering this match 'under protest', but it appears that the Board of Directors can go above the head of the dual General Managers on occasion, leading to this contest. Regardless of who Jeremy picks, sparks are sure to fly in this one. Our main event of the evening sees Steve DeColt between a rock and a hard place as he steps into the ring with both Dan Stone Jr. and Johnny Bloodstone. DSJ and Bloodstone's rivalry has reignited since the turn of the year, and we have to imagine that DeColt would much rather be anywhere but in the same ring as these two men! With a tough defence ahead of him, the wily champion is sure to have his hands full in this contest.</div></blockquote> PREDICTION KEY Brown & Haynes vs The Tri-Force NOTBPW Tag Team Titles Wild West © vs Canadian Dragon and Derek Frost NOTBPW Women's Title Kristabel Plum © vs Lauren Easter Jacob Jett vs Dark Angel The Executives vs Jeremy Stone & ???

This is just a little note to say that I still have plenty of interest in the diary, it's just tough to find time to write up the shows sometimes, and I have a little bit of 'disconnect' from the material right now, as I played it in game literally months ago. In any case... it's probably not going to be unusual for me to take between 7 and 10 days to post a show, as a heads up.

Brown & Haynes vs. The Tri-Force

With the promise of a title shot as motivation, both teams present a cast-iron determination to win this one. The early-going is very even, with Haynes once again showing the influence of Brown by not getting carried away, keeping himself fresh with frequent tags, whilst Strong and Newton combine for some excellent double teams, tagging Brown with a double dropkick, and later perfectly timing a high-low strike to bring down the bruiser Harlem Haynes. As time goes on, the newer duo actually shows more and more that they’re better at the wrestling game, neutralising the flying fists of their adversaries with tight holds and swift strikes. Brown twice has to rescue Haynes from attempted STFs from Newton, Haynes returning the favour by crotching Strong on the top rope to save Brown from a Strong Sault. This proves decisive as Brown rallies to hurl Strong from the turnbuckle to break out his underrated mat wrestling game, working over the dazed Strong and locking in the rarely-seen Anaconda Vice! Newton comes out of the corner, but is practically folded in half by a Haynes clothesline! Out of options and out of luck, Strong is forced to tap.

If this was a trial for a new team up, then it failed in spectacular fashion. Can-Drag and Frost just never make it out of the starting blocks, getting only a handful of opportunities to showcase their own abilities (Frost more so than Dragon), before the big brawlers shut them down. Westybrook and Cavanagh look to be having a lot of fun out there, showing off their ever-increasing grasp of teamwork with a series of huge power moves, throwing their opponents around like rag dolls with double suplexes, a sidewalk slam/leg drop combination, a scoop slam/splash, the list goes on and on, and it isn’t long before Westybrook hefts a limp Frost and plants him with a TNT Whirlwind for a very decisive retention.

As Wild West celebrate, their challengers at the PPV come charging down the ramp, and as they come sliding into the ring, Westybrook and Cavanagh are there to meet them. Brown and Haynes seem evenly matched with the champions as they frantically exchange blows, but marching down to the ring is their back up.

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/RKHayes.jpg

And quite the back up R.K. Hayes is. He climbs into the ring, and as a trio, The Business simply overwhelm the champions. Westybrook and Cavanagh could stand toe-to-toe with Brown and Haynes all day long if they chose to, but three on two is too much for them, especially when the third man is someone like Hayes. The challengers tee off on Westybrook, whilst R.K. Hayes manhandles Mighty Cavanagh, his experience giving him the edge over the rookie. It’s looking bleak for Wild West when…

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/LarryWood.jpghttp://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/KatieCameron.jpg

Larry Wood comes hurtling down the ramp, a blonde-haired woman riding on his shoulders! The Business don’t see the bizarre tandem until Wood has already entered the ring, and the Wildman goes nuts, laying all three men out with big shots, clotheslining Haynes and then R.K. Hayes over the top rope, then hurling Brown bodily from the ring, the woman struggling to keep her balance all the while, holding onto Wood’s beard for stability. With the threat dealt with, the duo check on Wild West, who fortunately aren’t too badly hurt.

The Can-Am Blondes are standing in a hallway backstage, outside what seems to be a locker room. Both men seem concerned, and as the camera pans around, the plain sign on the door reveals who it belongs to: John Maverick.

Natural: Maverick?

Love: Mavmeister?

Natural: Maverino?

The Blondes exchange glances.

Natural: He’s not answering.

Love: To his bestest friends!

Natural: I hope he isn’t sick.

A pause.

Natural: Are you sick, Maverick? We have cough medicine!

There is no answer.

Love: This is terrible.

Both Blondes look very morose.

Natural: No leglocks…

Love: No armbars.

Natural: No tap outs.

Both: No submission challenge…

The two heave massive sighs and stand there, dejected.

Kristabel Plum vs. Lauren Easter

A somewhat shaky record of late leads to the champion opening this match cagily, not giving too much away to her young, but wily opponent. This approach clearly frustrates Easter, who is perhaps guilty of being a little over-eager, excited by the chance of winning the title. This gives Plum the openings she needs to stay one step ahead, and Easter costs herself by going for the Belly-to-Belly whilst Plum still has plenty about her, the champion snagging a hold of the top rope to cause Easter to practically hurl herself to the floor. Disoriented, she’s easy prey for the Plum Tucker that ensues.

“Hold it.”

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/EddStoneNOTBPW/Characters/Melody.jpg

Melody appears at the top of the ramp, microphone in hand. Kristabel Plum lays her title on the canvas and beckons the other woman to come and get some. Melody shakes her head.

Melody: Unlike some, I don’t stoop to getting my hands dirty outside of matches. I’m not here to fight you, Plum. I’m here to tell you that I’m coming for your title at Clash Classic. I beat you once already on my own. I beat you a second time in the six-woman match. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that it’ll be any different the third time we meet. You took that belt from me, and it’s high time that I corrected that mistake.

Kristabel shouts back ‘bring it on!’, and the two women stare one another down. At least, until…

Edd Stone: Shush Melody! The adults are talking!

Freddy Huggins: As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted… We could maybe arrange something.

Freddy Huggins: Don’t hold your breath though. You guys are really boring to watch and we have to keep an eye on our viewing figures.

Edd Stone: Speaking of figures. Have you gained weight? You’ve kind’ve got some junk in the trunk there, Melody.

Freddy Huggins: Not that there’s anything wrong with th-

Melody lets out an enraged yell and hurls her microphone at Freddy’s head. He ducks, but The Executives are quick to beat a retreat backstage after that outburst, leaving a perplexed Kristabel standing alone in the ring.

Jacob Jett vs. Dark Angel

The composure of Dark Angel’s painted mask has cracked here, the veteran showing just the slightest hint of irritation at facing off against Jett yet again. For his part, Jett seems to be picking up new tricks every single time he steps into the ring – even showboating a little, which seems to get Angel even more riled. He goes for a back body drop – Jett rolls straight over his shoulders and rolls him up. A second attempt, Jett slides through the legs! Another roll up! Both pins are kicked out of emphatically, but it’s clear the younger man has the edge in speed. Ironically enough, that’s where he proves vulnerable as, with a burst of energy, Angel scales the turnbuckles as he’s whipped into them, flinging himself back at Jett to level him with a leaping lariat. Knocked for six, Jett is hauled up and unceremoniously dropped on his face with a Descent Into Hell.

Angel looks down at Jett with disdain for a couple of seconds before rolling out of the ring and heading back up the ramp. However, sparing a glance back, he sees that Jett has already, albeit using the ropes, made it up to his knees. Angel turns away, but hasn’t taken three steps before he looks back again, watching as Jett gets his hands on a microphone. Sagging heavily against the ropes, but most definitely standing.

Jett: You got me pretty good, Angel. Beat me fair and square, but…

Grimacing and holding his neck, Jett moves into the centre of the ring.

Jett: I’m still standing. You can put me down, lay me out, beat me up as much as you like, but… I never give up. Never. Each and every week, I’m only getting better, and the gap between me and everyone else gets more and more narrow. I refuse to let you – or heck, anyone, keep me down. You won tonight Angel, but what about next time, or the time after that? Can you say the same?

Angel tips his head back dismissively and turns away for a final time.

Jett: No, you can’t. Because I’m unbreakable.

The Executives vs. Jeremy Stone and Harrison Hash

Already less than happy about facing off against Jeremy, The Executives are even less enthused as the eldest Stone’s partner is revealed as Harrison Hash, Victoria observing on commentary that Hash has looked very dangerous lately. In the early going, the in-ring action is overshadowed by shenanigans, as neither Edd nor Freddy want anything to do with Jezza, and repeatedly tag out to one another no sooner have they thrown a jab or a feinted kick in his direction. Thoroughly tired of this, Matthew White remonstrates with Edd, and as the prodigal Stone argues his case, Jeremy simple seizes him from behind and plants him with a suplex, kick-starting the match into life.

What quickly becomes clear is that Jeremy and Hash just have… an understanding. They haven’t teamed before, but to see their timing, the way they interact with and play off one another… it’s like watching a unit that’s been together for years. Whatever the reason, the two of them click perfectly, and take the advantage with a flurry of offence. The especially astute amongst the audience might notice that Freddy, during his exchanges with Jeremy, is white as a sheet, but the action doesn’t suffer too much for all that.

Eventually the Executives resort to the tried and true tactic of blatantly cheating to get a hold of the match. Freddy feigns a knee injury, and as he attracts the referee’s attention, Edd slingshots himself over the ropes to nail Hash in the face with a flying kick. To add insult to injury, Edd kicks Hash in the ribs en route back to his corner, and a miraculously recovered Freddy follows up with a crisp knee drop to Hash’s head. A swift tag, and for once, Edd gets to show off his underrated technical skills, though this doesn’t stop such eccentricities as applying a rear chinlock with his back against Hash’s, performing a headstand as he chicken-wings an arm. Townsend at the announce desk loves it, London points out that Edd could do a lot more damage if he bothered concentrating on applying the moves properly rather than showboating.

But the Executives stay in control, Freddy a lot more willing to get his hands dirty now that Hash is away from his corner. A cocky pin with a boot to the chest gets two, and Freddy arrogantly slaps Hash around the back of the head as he struggles to his feet. He measures him… HUGGINS KI- NO! Ducked! Huggins stumbles! Hash is in behind him – Northern Lights – CENTURY SUPLEX! Cover!

1…

2…

No!

Shoulder up by Freddy and he retreats to his corner! Hash hauls himself up… both men tag out! Jeremy’s in, Edd’s in! The younger brother tags Jeremy with a dropkick, then another, then goes for a hurricanrana, sling-shotting Jeremy into the ropes! Edd runs the ropes… then charges at Jeremy, swinging around to nail him in the face with what he calls ‘Edd Special #16’ (Tiger Feint Kick/619). Jeremy’s knocked loopy, and Edd leaps over the top rope, gets his brother in capture position and-

STONE’S THR- NO! Jeremy’s canny enough to escape his own move, rolling over Edd’s shoulder, seizing the arm- AND LOCKING IN THE STONE HOLD! Edd wriggles and writhes, but rapidly … taps out.

Dan Stone Jr. vs. Steve DeColt vs. Johnny Bloodstone

No chance of any alliances in this one. Bloodstone is so single minded in his pursuit of Dan Jr. that he’s willing to ride roughshod over DeColt to get at him. And well, a DeColt and a Stone working together? Not likely. The champion is dumped unceremoniously over the top rope within thirty seconds of the opening bell, having made the unwise decision to try and meet Bloodstone head on and paying for it. The distraction, though, does give Dan the opportunity to measure for his own attack, tagging Bloodstone with a beautiful running dropkick. The technician springs back up to his feet, but is met by a strong style roaring elbow straight to the jaw, dropping him again. The rivals brawl for a while, DeColt returning to the ring for brief cameos before getting thrown over the top rope, something that he seems to be deliberately angling for, considering the number of times he ‘conveniently’ rolls underneath the bottom rope after a big power move. The brawl gives Dan Jr. the edge for the most part, fist-fighting being more his game than Bloodstone’s… all up until DeColt slides back into the ring, wraps his arms around Stone’s shoulders, and slams him harshly to the mat. The champion immediately backs off as Bloodstone glares murder at him, gesturing at Dan Jr. as if to say ‘be my guest’. The technician rolls Dan Jr. over, hooks one arm, then the other… DeColt smashes his knee into Bloodstone’s face and makes the cover!

1…

2…

No! Bloodstone rolls the shoulder up!

DeColt pounds away on Bloodstone for a while, keeping an eye on Dan Jr., making sure to put him back down on the mat with a suplex or powerslam every time he regains his feet, before going to work. This system functions for a while, but eventually is proven unsustainable as Dan Jr. shakes off the cobwebs, and DeColt turns straight into a flying enzuigiri from Dan! The champion goes reeling, stumbles away in the other direction – straight into a brutally spiked DDT from Bloodstone! Stone and Bloodstone’s eyes meet as DeColt painstakingly rolls underneath the bottom rope and to the floor.

They’re straight in at each other! Capture hold- STONE’S THR- No! Second failure of the night as Bloodstone headbutts his way out of the move! Gutwrench suplex for Stone!

1…

Kick out! Bloodstone hooks Dan’s arm again, trying for the Bloodstone Mutilation- Dan Jr. scrambles his way out of it, drop toe hold to the onrushing Bloodstone- ANKLE CAUGHT! STONE ANKL- NO! Bloodstone scrambles desperately to the ropes, kicking Dan Jr. wildly in the stomach with his free leg!

BLOODSTONE M- NO! DeColt punts Bloodstone square in the skull! He’s knocked silly! DeColt hauls Stone to his feet… brainbuster! The champion stalks the dazed Bloodstone… hits the ropes… DECOLT STAMPEDE!

Breathing hard, the Canadian champion collects his title belt and a microphone from ringside.

Steve DeColt: You see that? That’s how we do things in the Power House, that’s how you tear down the walls of the House of Stone. I just beat two of the biggest names in the business without breaking a sweat, and do you know why? Because there’s no name that’s bigger than mine. DeColt.

DeColt gestures to the two men still in the ring, who are both barely moving.

Steve DeColt: And that’s what happens when you cross the biggest name. You lose. No, you don’t just lose, you get torn apart. Jeremy… I know you’re watching this. I know you don’t want to, but that I’m just so compelling that you can’t help but watch me, watch me and despair that you’ll never match up to what I can do in the ring. It’s almost time Jeremy, and take note of what I just did to Bloodstone, or what I just did to your brother. See what I did tonight is just a taste of what I’ll do to you at Clash Classic. This Saturday, Jeremy, I’ll demonstrate – again – exactly why I’m DeGreat. DeMaster. DeColt.

Overall Rating: 77/B-

Good show dude keep up the great work, I really like how your developing things but it makes me wonder did you change the match ratio to 80% because it seems like you are doing a lot of angles, more than NOTBPW would tipically allow you to get away with.
