Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/1826/finocchietogym2.jpg A well-equipped, private gym. The machines are sparkling and modern and the room spacious. The windows are dark and it’s clearly the middle of the night. All is quiet apart from the one man working out alone. As he bench-presses a huge weight the large, bald man is ferociously urging himself on… “I am the best. “I am the strongest. “No-one can defeat me. “No one can derail my vision. “I am 21st Century Wrestling “I am… JEFF NOVA.” http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1756/jeffnovaalt1.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/9682/sandybeach2.jpg A perfect, sandy beach next to crashing, sparkling waves that glitter in the bright sunshine. The camera pans out a bit and we see that instead of being in Malibu, Hawaii or Trinidad we’re next to a short pier. This is Bournemouth. The camera continues panning and we see a volleyball court with two pairs of men playing on it. Three men are typical pasty-white Englishmen struggling to play effectively but the last man is bronzed, muscled and confident. He’s wearing a pair of shiny aviators and shouting enthusiastically in a broad American accent: “NICE job! “Take it to the MAX bro! “110%! “We’re OWNING you dudes! “You can’t beat this ANIMAL! “I’m The TOTAL package! “I’m Joss THOMPSON!” With the last triumphant spike Joss pulls on his tight white t-shirt over his sweaty abs, climbs onto his motorbike and speeds off to the sounds of classic 80s soft rock. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7231/jossthompson.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 A dimly-lit bar in what looks like a cellar. No natural light comes in but we can see modern, trendy furniture and lights. In a booth in a corner three men sit with drinks in martini glasses in front of them. All three men wear dark suits and sunglasses. The man in the centre has a dark face and a cruel smile. He’s not a guy you’d trust. “In this town you can get anything you want. All you have to do is know who to talk to and what it’s going to cost you. “I’ve got lots of fingers in lots of pies and I always get what I want. “My name is Jonathan Faust. And I’ve got a deal I want to offer you…” http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5295/jonathanfaust.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hurray, 21CW need a good diary and there is no one better to do it. The word English drew me in..... Love it! Awesome start i'm in. Thanks guys. 21CW has a strong face/heel divide so its totally different to my beloved HIW. I know 21CW has been quite popular over the years but hopefully I can bring a fresh spin to it. As in my last diary I'll be running merchandise competitions but if anyone wants anything else included just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5434/108356031.jpg A polished, shiny, luxurious office. The window looks out across the soaring skyline of the City of London. The desk is huge and made of polished mahogany. The large, blonde man behind the desk is wearing the bottom half of a beautifully-tailored, pinstriped business suit and a handmade, Egyptian cotton shirt. He looks like a captain of industry crossed with a bodybuilder. “Some of you may recognise me. “Some of you think you may know me. “Some of you may have seen me fight before. “None of you understand me at all. “I’ve realised that all those years of playing the fool and joking around were wasted. I could have been honing my craft rather than going after cheap laughs. “That time has gone now. From here on it’s all about business. It’s all about being serious and being the best. "I’m no longer Shane Hannigans. Now I’m Kevin Jones. Business Jones.” Jones turns to survey the City lying before him and we see the back of his shirt. Dead centre is the outline of an iron burnt into his shirt. http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7778/businessjones2.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parliament looms in the background looking spectral and eerie in the moonlight. Two men wearing dark clothes and sunglasses stand quietly looking tough and serious. An attractive lady in her 30s with purple hair in a very tight black dress stands with them. “Westminster is the centre of power in England. And we should be the central power in English wrestling. “Leo price should by rights be a champion. Steve Stoat should be feared as the most dangerous man alive.

Thanks very much guys. I needed a new project. Joss Thompson is a face. He's goofy and cheesy and as an American in a predominantly English (note its not British!) company he's going to get some stick, but he's a well-meaning guy.

Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2027/imagemagicd.jpg A dirty gym in the East End of London. A sign hangs above a makeshift boxing ring saying “Brown’s”. Inside the ring three men all cling on to a muscled, shaven-headed fighter in a dirty vest. His attackers are all clearly trying to cinch in different holds. One has his arm bent back. One has his head in a chokehold. One has his ankle bent at an obscene angle. The bald man somehow summons an amazing surge of strength and throws his attackers away from him. He turns to the camera and rasps three short words. “NEVER. GIVE. UP.” http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5860/pitbullbrownalt3.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a grey and rainy day and seems thoroughly miserable. From the camera angle we can see Nelson’s Column but not what is on the plinth. A crowd of tourists are gathered around snapping pictures furiously of whatever is on top. Flashbulbs pop and an audible buzz of amazement murmurs. The camera pans up and reveals two young men wearing next to nothing. They’re both fit, muscled and sculpted but are clad online in what can only be described as shiny hot pants and carrying a pair of gold championship belts. The younger poser turns to the other: “I told you the crowds would come out to see us.” “I’m not sure they’re all here for us actually.” “Of course they are. Why else would a load of tourists come to central London?” “Fair point. We are Too Hot. We are the biggest tourist attraction in England. Now – time for some extreme posing!” The two men somehow flex even more as the drizzle drips from their noses. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/5762/buffmartinez.jpghttp://img692.imageshack.us/img692/4156/jaybr.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3264/grassyhill2byabuseofsto.jpg A grassy, tranquil hillside in what appears to be the Home Counties. Suddenly, out of nowhere a giant inflatable ball zooms past. The film pauses and you can just about make out the face of a guy inside the ball wearing a Union Flag bandana. He’s wide-eyed, screaming but happy looking. The film rolls again and a few seconds later another ball flies past – this one also freezes. Inside this one is a beautiful girl looking similarly exhilarated but a bit more terrified. Film rolls again and five seconds later another bunch of balls roll past. They’re full of children who can’t be more than ten years old and are all wearing school uniform. It’s clear that the adults have been racing the children with full commitment and no easing off. A legend is displayed on screen: Adam and Phoebe. The First Couple of extreme. http://a.imageshack.us/img96/9586/adammatravers.jpghttp://img28.imageshack.us/img28/8207/phoebeplumridgealt.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltinho Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/8075/imagesca7lby15.jpg Views of Blackpool in Northern England. We see the bleak, desolate shoreline. An abandoned amusement arcade. A dilapidated old casino. A forlorn, grizzled fisherman. The faded but still majestic tower. Sad-looking donkeys. A voiceover comes in: “This is where Rough Justice grew up. Tommy Cornell is the finest wrestler of his generation. A multiple World Champion. One of the biggest stars this sport has ever seen. Instantly recognisable to millions.” We switch to a brightly-lit ballroom with one young man wearing casual clothes and a hood in the centre of the floor. The young man throws back his hood. “He’s not the only Cornell.” http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4997/edwardcornellalt3jt.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the lights flash, there’s a huge crowd straining at barricades with police holding people back from rioting. Fans surge forward trying to get a glimpse. A voice sings out over the noise: “Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy ‘Cause summers here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy” The camera pans around and we see the singer is in a leather jacket with an extravagant blonde mop of hair. He struts and preens as the crowd only scream even louder. Unfortunately the camera pans further and we see that the crowd are actually staring in the opposite direction at another celebrity heading to the film premiere. Rolling Johnny Stones doesn’t care. He just carries on singing. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6046/rollingjohnnystones.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltinho Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Next time on 21CW: Best of British Wrestling http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8373/21cw.jpg The first show of the new 21CW era sees the World title on the line. Jeff Nova has promised that 21CW will show everyone exactly why they’re the most exciting up-and-coming company in wrestling. Dare you miss out? All matches are listed in alphabetical order except where titleholders are involved. In which case they come first. http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg Joss Thompson vs Leo Price for the 21CW World title http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7231/jossthompson.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8251/leoprice.jpg An American as our World Champion shows how global the all-new 21CW is. Joss is now a fan-favourite after his less-than friendly past but he won’t be happy about coming face-to-face with his biggest rival and ex-best friend in the first show of the year. Adam Matravers vs. Business Jones http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7778/businessjones2.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://a.imageshack.us/img96/9586/adammatravers.jpg Two of 21CW’s hottest properties go head to head in a dramatic clash of styles. Jones is a tough-brawling old-schooler whilst ‘Mile-high’ has been accused in the past of style over substance with his high-flying flair. Both men will be looking to establish a foothold in the new order. Eddie Cornell vs. Cyberpunk http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4997/edwardcornellalt3jt.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://img21.imageshack.us/img21/8536/misterking.jpg The younger Cornell cousin is getting a lot of talk on the internet but hasn’t really achieved much in his home country. Certainly not enough to wear that surname with any pride. Cyberpunk meanwhile has been very confidently predicting a change of fortune for himself and with his own hacking abilities could well be able to manipulate public opinion to back himself up. Too Hot (Buff Martinez & Jay B) vs. The Anglo-Scots Connection (Davey Celtic & London) [non-title match] http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/5762/buffmartinez.jpghttp://img692.imageshack.us/img692/4156/jaybr.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3222/daveylondonjhd.jpghttp://img225.imageshack.us/img225/962/daveyceltic2.jpg The 21CW tag champs are another pair not short of confidence. They wear the belts with pride but it has to be said they haven’t defended them with the same panache. The Anglo-Scots Connection are clearly talented enough to wear those same belts but they’ll have to prove themselves worthy first. K’Lee Hawkins vs Nate Manchester vs Phillip Cooper vs. Rolling Johnny Stones – UK title no. 1 contenders match http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/3004/leehawkins.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6541/natemanchester.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7203/thphillipcooperjhd.jpghttp://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4112/21cwversus.jpghttp://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6046/rollingjohnnystones.jpg Four men come together with very different backgrounds. Only one can establish himself as the challenger to grey Angel. Rolling Johnny Stones is the biggest name but whispers say he’s past it and that younger, more energetic men will be stealing his thunder this year in 21CW… http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8373/21cw.jpg All opinions are welcome. The best predictor will receive their choice of bespoke items from the famed 21CW Merchandise House: based in Coventry the manufactory has a reputation for inspiration and shoddiness in equal measure. Please bear in mind that 21CW is a sports entertainment promotion. Draws are to be expected! QUICK PICKS Joss Thompson vs Leo Price for the 21CW World title Adam Matravers vs. Business Jones Eddie Cornell vs. Cyberpunk Too Hot vs. The Anglo-Scots Connection K’Lee Hawkins vs Nate Manchester vs Phillip Cooper vs. Rolling Johnny Stones – UK title no. 1 contenders match Bonus question: Who gets attacked backstage?
