Eisen-verse Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Out of curiosity, what are you using to write your dynasty? What program? I'm trying to work something out but i only have Google Documents to work with. It's making copy/paste into the forums not look right or follow my format. I could use something that gives a better look, but if not i'll wing it. I use Microsoft Word. It may not be ideal but I write the whole show, code and all, and then copy & paste onto the board. From there, I post the pictures while on the board (versus Word as it makes for an annoying hyperlink situation). It may be time consuming but it's the best way I've found so far. I've heard that you can push some sort of button in which to simply copy and paste what you have in Word onto the board, having it show up as such, but I haven't had much practice with that. I tried google documents at one point; however, wasn't too happy with the look and feel of it's writing space. I've also worked in works, wordpad, and the Google Chrome notepad program; however, have never really found a writing space that feels as comfortable as Word. From what it seems, you may not have Word; so, I would either go the route of a generic writing pad or something along those lines. That said, google docs does give you the ability to write from anywhere (which I can definitely see as a plus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Logos/PPV.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Logos/Battleground2.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Logos/Bsyn.jpg To those about to wage in WAR, the battleground is the ultimate place for which LEGENDS are born. Putting everything on the line, a warrior has very little room for error. For, if one is to slip, even momentarily, mass destruction is almost an absolute certainty. WAR is no place for the weak. When stepping onto the hallowed battleground, only one thing remains… Will you, or will you not, rise to the occasion? Will you rise for your country? Will you rise for your family? Will you rise for greatness? Will you rise for your brothers? Will you rise… for the banner of WAR? This and this alone is what measures a man… … What turns an ordinary person into that of a LEGEND … Who will dominate the Battleground? WHO will become the LEGENDS of WAR? http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Logos/BCard.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/DAMiaN.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/LeperMessiah.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/DonnieJ.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/AshCampbell.jpg A week removed from becoming the FIRST-EVER WAR Tag Team Champions, Demonic Intervention comes into “Battleground” in which to defend their titles against a known adversary on the other-side of the ring. Defeating Cali-Air in which to step into the finals, the pairing of DAMiaN and Leper Messiah must, once again, overcome the youthful energy of the West Coast fliers in hope of retaining the silver-plated tag straps. That said, in reality, maybe we should be questioning whether or not the lightweight tandem, Cali-Air, can stand above the immense power of the violent champions? In the end, what will prevail? Youthful speed or overpowering strength? http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/AlexBraun.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Hopkirk.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/BrutusOLeary.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JaysonWright.jpg In a weird pairing no doubt, this week’s pay-per-view broadcast of “Battleground” will pit two different rivalries all within one tag team match. A week after being controversially KO’ed by the devious hand of the Tri-State King Alex Braun, Brutus O’Leary must find a sense of union with the up-and-coming hero in Jayson “Mr.” Wright in hopes of gaining revenge. Meanwhile, hoping to capitalize on his polarizing victory last week, the greasy and grungy Hopkirk will hope to come away with ANOTHER victory over the brother to the WAR Pin-up Girl Dharma, “Mr.” Wright, in which to prove his own egocentric point. In the end, WHICH awkward pairing will come away with the win? More or less, WHICH rival, on either side, will have the MOST to brag about going forward? http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/AmericanElemental.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/SnapDragon.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/SteveFlash-1.jpg It was only a week ago that a 4-on-4 tables match practically tore the roof off of the Empire Coliseum. This week, riding the wave of momentum, three high-flying competitors will clash, once again, in which to bring ANOTHER stint of high-octane wrestling BACK to “Battleground”! American Elemental, Snap Dragon, and the Tri-State Kings Steve Flash, will attempt to bottle-lightning as WAR’s newfound cruiserweight action steamrolls ahead full-force. Who will prevail as three aerial standouts clash in the ultimate display of jaw-dropping action? http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Ares.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Who.jpg Clouded in mystery, the polarizing “GOD of WAR” will have to compete with the unknown as his competitor set for this week’s “Battleground” is still standing in the dark. With a decision straight from the WAR General’s executive desk, the recently devious Ares will bring his punk-rock rebelliousness BACK to pay-per-view as he takes on, as it appears, someone of Nemesis’ choosing. Is it someone on the roster already? Is it someone making their WAR debut? Either way, with Nemesis’ newfound call for evolution under HIS reign, one has to expect that the unknown wrestler will be an explosive choice. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/TroyTornado.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/BuddyGarner.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/EricTyler.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JamesPrudence.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JohnnyMartin.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Who.jpg This week’s main event for “Battleground” was ultimately wrapped within a back-handed comment. Only a week removed from being arrested within the office of the WAR General, Nemesis was documented in saying that the arrestee, Troy Tornado, will go from “One steel cell to another”. With this in mind, in one of THE most deadly matches in Wrestling Action in Revolt history, six of the top competitors will clash within the unforgiving confines of a Steel Cell; all with the hope of coming away with THE WAR Championship only two-weeks before heading to the POP! network. In the end, who will prevail? Troy Tornado, Buddy Garner, Eric Tyler, James Prudence, Johnny Martin, or the mysterious unknown competitor left in the darkness? Also, who may pay the ultimate price in hoping for said victory; losing their own health in the process?

Troy Tornado © vs. Buddy Garner vs. Eric Tyler vs. James Prudence vs. Johnny Martin vs. Art Reed While I believe Art's contract usually ends after pghw's first tour meaning he can be a big signing for you.

As for Prudence's chances at becoming WAR Champion, it's entirely possible. I mean, with wins over Shawn Gonzalez and Buddy Garner (Both wins without a run-in), his stock is certainly soaring right now. That said, I guess we'll have to see what the Reign member, and WAR General's 'personal choice', has in store for the future. Plus, you're 100%. I love Prudence like he was my own son. haha.

Timber Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 After reading that post, I do think that James Prudence has won most of his matches without help. Hmm. You've booked him a little bit like the the early Miz. Annoying guy that seems to improve every match. Learns to use his charisma and in ring skills to become champion. I could see JP turn face one day. You have him heel now, but having Nemesis help JP win the gold could be a way of turning him face, sure he's a conceited guy who thinks he's the best that ever laced up his boots and sure he's happy to have guys to party with. He's done it all in the ring on his own. He might be unhappy if someone interferes with his actual matches. Pre-match stuff is fine, even post match shenanigans. In the ring it's all JP, don't stick your nose in unless you want it broke. Can't believe i typed that for JP. Can't wait for the card before you head to POP! It's really gonna be good.

See... my plan is working. Slowly, very slowly, your love for James Prudence is starting to seep in like a virus. jk. I thought about booking him as the consummate heel weasel, relying on others all the way through his rise, but, in the end, I felt he needed more credibility. I mean, he beat Gonzalez fair and square. From there, he beat an injured Buddy Garner in a sling; which is STILL a win regardless. With my vision for Nemesis as the brutish, self-serving, WAR General, I couldn't see his persona swinging in and bailing someone out every single week. In a way, he's looking for men who can compete above all rest; not forcing them into that position with constant run-ins. It's kind of a 'sink or swim' mentality. Will he give them better chances and options? Most certainly. That said though, he's not going to stack the deck for them to succeed UNLESS it serves him MORE (if that makes sense.. ie: He not wanting Tornado as the champ leading into POP!). Thus far, Prudence is the kind of wrestler that Nemesis was looking for. He's hungry, focused, determined, and willing to do WHATEVER it takes to succeed. In the end, his relationship with Nemesis will go as far as his success does (especially as it pertains to the things that that WAR General WANTS him to succeed as well)...

Eisen-verse Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Show Update: Just as a simple note of 'where I've been'. This week is insanely busy for me (as I have a deadline to meet); so, I don't believe the final pay-per-view episode of "Battleground" will be up until this weekend. I hit a snag LAST WEEKEND as my wife didn't work on Saturday (the day I get all of my writing in). That said, I was unable to get a lot of work done on the show. I'll try to get some work done over the next few days, after my deadline is met; however, I'm just letting you all know that you probably won't see the episode hit the board until Saturday or Sunday.

Eisen-verse Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just as a friendly heads up, episode #10, and the FINAL pay-per-view episode of "Battleground", will be up later tonight! All I have left to do is the formatting part of it; so, I'm guessing it will find it's way onto the board before the end of Saturday. It took me a little longer to get this one out as my schedule was insanely hectic this week. That said, I'm really happy with how it came out and I really feel as though A) it adds further depth to the storylines going into POP! and B) brings some closure to the pay-per-view aspect of the show. Moving on from the show, I'll post the grades and then will take a few other posts to re-frame the company heading into POP! These posts will be introducing the new division on the horizon (to be touched upon during episode #10), the overall roster going into the POP! version of the show, and any changes I may make in which to center the brand a little more. In a sense, I'm using the move to POP! as a great way to re-cement the brand of WAR. Even 12 shows in (counting the show due up today), there are bound to be a lot of changes as (at least from a storyline perspective) the WAR General Nemesis tightens his iron-clad grip upon the company moving forward!

Stepping through the cheering masses, smirking devilishly like the down-and-dirty rocker that he is, Tornado eventually staggers through the Empire Hotel & Casino’s grandiose doors; however, not before raising his arms in the air in a lazy, yet entirely arrogant, ‘look at me’ kind of fashion.} {Continuing to shuffle through the cheering masses WITHIN the Casino, Tornado forges through his regional celebrity as the strap that gives him such a right, the WAR Championship itself, gleams in the bright lights from above. However, just as it seems like this opening sequence is a glorified hype for Tornado, everything takes a turn for the dramatic…} {Lazily reaching into his faded and torn blue jeans, the down-and-dirty rocker eventually pulls a sleek cell-phone from his tattered clothing. Smirking devilishly, as he always does, he goes to answer said phone call, amongst the craziness of the roaring Casino-goers around him, as said call is patched in as if we were able to hear both ends. In a way, it feels much like realism-based, as one wouldn’t be able to hear the call being made, but none the less, the cinematic feel of the opening segment gives us the feeling of a movie script versus a basic wrestling angle.} [Troy Tornado]: Greatest of ALL-TIME speaking… {Tornado laughs wildly as he looks over upon the obviously inebriated fans to his side. Projecting a sense of extreme arrogance, the kind that comes with the rock-star credo, Tornado continues to toy with the roaring crowd around him; laughing, smirking devilishly, and winking at nearby females in the process.} {Shockingly though, the voice on the other end brings a stark contrast to Tornado’s wild ways.} [WAR General Nemesis]: How does it feel to be a jail-rat, Tornado? {The stern projection of Nemesis’ voice tears through the phone as Tornado simply laughs in it’s arrival.} [Troy Tornado]: It’s not the first time… won’t be the last. {Tornado laughs wildly once again as he continues to shuffle in a lazy fashion through the roaring crowd around him.} [Troy Tornado]: … I DO have a message for you though. I ran into your mom while I was there and she said that the herpes are clearing up pretty well… {Tornado laughs with his mouth-wide-open as he struts in a dramatic fashion for a brief second. Meanwhile, the WAR General is heard responding in his typical brutish fashion; ignoring Tornado’s last comment as he steamrolls ahead with his agenda} [WAR General Nemesis]: From one cell into another… Tonight is the night you FINALLY drop the gold… {Pauses} … and I’ll be there to watch you crash… and… burn… {Pauses} I’m taking WAR to POP!... and after tonight… you WON’T be coming with me… {Tornado scoffs as he continues to lazily shuffle through the Casino; in route to the Empire Coliseum in the process.} [Troy Tornado]: I’ll go wherever the hell I please, General… {Pauses} Plus, I don’t mind a cell… if anything… I love it… the carnage it brings… the violence it inspires… Believe me, I’m ready to shove all of this bull-sh*t square down your throat… {Tornado finally moves on through the Casino floor and eventually steps through an ‘employee only’ door that leads him into a backstage hallway of the Empire Coliseum. In doing so, the roaring crowd now stands behind him, behind a wall at that; however, the sound of their collective inebriated cheering continues on in the distance. Meanwhile, as he lazily shuffles down an undisclosed hallway of the coliseum, the WAR Champion trades out the sight of fans with the collection of unnamed company officials talking business as they walk.} [WAR General Nemesis]: I wouldn’t be so sure of that… {His tone changes slightly to hint that a vile grin has formed upon the General’s face.} [WAR General Nemesis]: You’ve got a warm-up title match on your plate… {Pauses} … and that starts… now… {Almost as if on perfect cue, upon the General’s declaration of ‘now’, TITUS is shown exploding out of a nearby doorway; shoulder-blocking the WAR Champion up against a nearby cement wall with brute force. The WAR Championship itself falls to the cement floor below, as Tornado gasps for air, most likely having the wind knocked from him with such a momentous blow; however, none of this stops the towering TITUS from continuing his assault.} http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Titus.jpg Attacking on cue! [steve Smith]: Come on!! This isn’t fair!! He JUST got here… [slick Rick]: Fair? Who gives a damn about fair? KICK…HIS…A$$...TITUS!! {Picking up the staggered champion off the cement floor, TITUS is then shown throwing Tornado every which way in a brutish fashion. Slamming into walls, production boxes, swung open doors, and EVEN unnamed business officials, Tornado eventually looks NOTHING like the arrogant punk we just witnessed before in the Casino. Now, walking into a trap it seems, he must fight for his life, overcoming the immense power of TITUS, if he hopes to simply MAKE IT to the Main Event…} Steve Smith: If Troy Tornado wants to MAKE IT to the Main Event, he’ll have to overcome the overpowering hand of TITUS it seems. Slick Rick: This is BRILLIANT on the part of the WAR General!! Don’t want the belt on Tornado? Feed him to TITUS beforehand!! Steve Smith: If TITUS is successful here, he would take Tornado’s place in the main event steel cell match! Can you imagine? {Shakes his head in fear of that idea} A man like TITUS would destroy the CELL… let alone the men in it! Slick Rick: Let’s sit back and ENJOY… the DOWNFALL… of Troy Tornado!! Steve Smith: GOD, I hope not… http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3370/warcre.png http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/TroyTornado.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Versus/VS.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/Titus.jpg Troy Tornado © vs. TITUS Backstage Singles Match WAR Championship Match “Crashing from on high!” Slamming his club-like fists upon the weakened frame of the WAR Champion, TITUS quickly takes absolute control of the situation at hand. In what can only be described as a one-sided sense of domination, the WAR General’s muscle-bound hitman brings forth a sense of brutish violence that has Troy Tornado staggering his way through the backstage area. Eventually, the champ would regain his composure, fighting back in a wild fashion no doubt, but, as expected, the reckless rebel would ultimately have trouble keeping his wave of momentum at a high-level. In the end though, as the two spill into a previously unseen loading dock area, the final point of their one-sided altercation would come to a chaotic halt as one falls mercilessly from on high. Grabbing a nearby steel chair, TITUS looks to plow-over his reeling opponent; however, as he swings with a brutish sense of might, the scrappy WAR Champion is able to subdue the powerhouse before him. Stealing said chair, Tornado ultimately lands a number of baseball-like swings square over the big man’s skull. Finally, landing one final blow, leaping in the process in which to add further strength to said shot, TITUS is shown falling straight over the edge of a steep loading platform. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Titus.jpg TITUS falls 15-feet (Crazy Bump)!! Falling a good 15-feet, TITUS finally crashes into a giant dumpster lying below; a fact that creates a thunderous BOOM as his gigantic frame collides with the trash below. In the end, sensing that NO man could rebound from such a ‘crazy bump’, Jez McArthuer is shown calling for the bell in a frantic fashion as he calls for medical assistance as well. Winner: Troy Tornado via stoppage Ending Maneuver: ‘Crazy Bump’ fall for TITUS, into a dumpster below, thanks to a round of steel chair shots Ending Time: 5:25 Note: This marks Troy Tornado’s 7th successful WAR Championship defense! Note: TITUS takes a crazy bump! Steve Smith: GOOD GOD… TITUS MAY BE DEAD!! Slick Rick: Holy sh*t!! Steve Smith: Did you SEE that fall? Troy Tornado MAY have just ended TITUS’ career right there! Slick Rick: … Again… Holy… Sh*t… Steve Smith: I can’t imagine the WAR General will be very happy about this… http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/TroyTornado.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Titus.jpg Post-Match Celebration Involved: Troy Tornado © and TITUS “Cheers...to the fallen!” {Standing far above the fallen TITUS, just moments ago being forced into a gigantic fall square into a waiting dumpster below, the WAR Champion cracks an arrogant smirk as he looks down upon his self-made carnage. Then, pulling a bottled beer from the hands of an unsuspecting man backstage, Tornado is then shown taking a quick swig shortly before pouring the rest of it’s contents downward. Like a beer waterfall, Tornado’s stolen drink ultimately trickles upon the fallen frame of TITUS below. As expected, while done in a disrespectful manner, the WAR Champion continues to smirk in a devilish fashion as he truly degrades his recent challenger.} Steve Smith: Well… I hope TITUS is thirsty after his fall. {Slight chuckle to himself} Slick Rick: Go on, laugh away, Steve-o! I’m sure this is ALL a joke to you! TITUS just fell a good 20-feet into a dumpster and you think it’s funny, right? The man could be seriously injured… IF NOT dead!! Steve Smith: I’m sorry, Slick. You’re right. The man just suffered a sickening fall and something like this is well… just plain disrespectful. That said, do you really expect ANTYHING else from Tornado? Slick Rick: No. He’s a punk! Steve Smith: He most certainly is… but… that’s what makes him who he is. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/TroyTornado.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Nemesis-1.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JamesPrudence.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Guru.jpg Backstage Scheming Involved: Troy Tornado © + Reign “I will NOT accept... Almost!” {Shortly after witnessing the sight of Troy Tornado spilling a small waterfall of beer upon the fallen TITUS from on high, we NOW transition to the sight of the WAR General watching said action upon a large flat-screen TV. Seated behind his desk, in his self-promoting office, the General is ultimately shown slamming his weathered fists upon his desk-top in an enraged fashion. Snarling aggressively, peering in an angered fashion upon the screen before him, Nemesis looks to be fixated in an intense state of rage. Meanwhile, as his fellow Reign members, Guru and James Prudence, are shown scattered around the room (Prudence seated on a leather couch as the Guru paces before Nemesis’ desk), it’s obvious to see that they too share the same frustrations.} {Attempting to subdue the beast of sorts, the Guru attempts to ‘talk-down’ the WAR General. That said, given Nemesis’ intense rage, it’s quickly met with a brutish sense of defiance to the ‘silver-lining’.} [The Guru]: He almost had him… {Nemesis looks upon the Guru with a look that could most certainly kill. Full of beaming rage, the General seems to take his aggression out on the Guru in the process.} [WAR General Nemesis]: ALMOST? … ALMOST?... YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT ‘ALMOST’ GETTING SOMEONE? {Nemesis, in a burst of rage, slams his fist downward upon his desk-top once again as a number of papers go flying off said desk in the process. Huffing like an alpha-male enraged, Nemesis’ entire body rises-and-falls with every explosive breath.} [WAR General Nemesis]: I WILL NOT ACCEPT… ALMOST!! {A tense moment follows as Nemesis continues to stare upon the Guru with intense anger. Meanwhile, the Guru simply stands his ground with confidence; however, still showing signs that he has fallen in line.} [The Guru]: I understand, General… I just… [WAR General Nemesis]: You just what? Huh? You just thought? {Shakes his head angrily} I don’t… want… to HEAR… what you… just… thought! {Again, a tense scenario continues as Nemesis stares upon the Guru with exploding anger.} [WAR General Nemesis]: TITUS has failed… {Grows EVEN more angered as he clenches his fists.} … I DON’T have TIME… for failures… {With that, the WAR General snaps his head feverishly toward James Prudence who sits upon a leather couch. Beaming his eyes straight into Prudence’s skull, still fuming, Nemesis sends HIM a message in an enraged fashion.} [WAR General Nemesis]: You, Prudence, will NOT fail me tonight… Do you… understand… me? [James Prudence]: Yes, my general… {The WAR General interjects brutishly} [WAR General Nemesis]: I don’t WANT to hear it… I WANT to SEE It… {Stern stare follows} … Get the job done tonight… or else… {Prudence, remembering Nemesis’ last statement, simply nods his head in an agreeing fashion. Meanwhile, the rage of Nemesis continues to roar outward as if it were a powerful capsizing wave overtaking the mainland.} [WAR General Nemesis]: I will NOT take WAR to POP! with Troy Tornado as it’s champion! Do you hear me? Do what NEEDS to be done… I don’t really give a sh*t WHAT that is… but DO what NEEDS to be done… to take the belt off of him! {With that, Nemesis spins back around in which to look upon the TV screen to his side.} {Seated in his chair, his fists clenched in an intense fashion, his eyes sternly focused, and his forehead fixated in a sense of crushing rage, the WAR General relays one last statement as he watches the raw-footage of the WAR Champion lazily shuffling away with a beer in hand; seconds after defeating Nemesis’ big-man in TITUS.} [WAR General Nemesis]: You will NOT survive, Tornado… {Pauses; grows more intense in his tone} Hell hath NO fury… like… MEEE! {With that, the segment comes to a close with the intensely angered WAR General staring upon the TV screen as he watches Troy Tornado walk onward. Meanwhile, as he slams his fists down upon the desk-top one last time, a strike that practically shakes the very core of the heavy executive desk, there appears to an extra sense of hatred radiating within for Nemesis. At this point, it almost seems as though he’s lost any sense of decency as it pertains to Troy Tornado as he aggressively WANTS the belt off of Tornado… and… as we know… Nemesis ALWAYS gets what he wants…} Steve Smith: I’d hate to be Troy Tornado right now… I don’t think I’ve EVER seen Nemesis this enraged before! In all of his years, after ALL that he did, this is a side of Nemesis that we’ve NEVER seen before… Slick Rick: Tornado’s going to WISH he was never the champ… Steve Smith: For Prudence’s sake, he better HOPE he’s successful tonight… if not… I shudder to think what may come of him…{Pauses} I mean, if TITUS survived that fall of his… I can’t imagine that Nemesis will welcome him back in with open arms… Slick Rick: I don’t think the General welcomes ANYONE with open arms… especially those who he sees as… as he said… failures… http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Who.jpg Hype Video Involved: ???? “The coming...” {Cutting into the feed as if it were forced upon our broadcast, a mysterious video is interjected with a tone that can only be described as unsettling. With hellfire and brimstone images (ie: weathered angel statues crying blood, towering gargoyles withstanding hurricane-like rain, gritty footage of cult-like prayer services, and snapshot images of religious relics shown in a darkened fashion), all wrapped within the uncomfortable sound of a fading children’s choir singing a church hymn in the background, the short video ultimately flashes past these creepy images before coming to a midnight black background. The church hymn has surged to it’s loudest point right before the black-out before finally coming to a rest as well. For a matter of a few seconds, there is nothing… nothing at all. Then, slowly fading onto the screen, accompanied by a sense of hazy smoke, the words… ‘The coming…’ is shown being unveiled across the screen. Holding this sight for a few more seconds, it eventually disappears in an ominous fashion as one final, snap-shot, image is shown of a man’s back before a darkened alter. However, for the viewer, the snapshot is SO short that the only thing that can be made out is that the figure is most certainly African American and bald for that matter.} Steve Smith: What in the good LORD was that… Slick Rick: I think we just saw an insert from the church of what the f*ck!!! {Slick laughs in a raspy fashion.} Steve Smith: I don’t like the look of what we just saw… What is ‘The coming…’ all about? While we may not know WHO it is… It’s pretty obvious that SOMEONE… is… well… coming to WAR. Someone who brings with him something purely… well… evil… Slick Rick: What? Did the angel statues crying blood give that away? {Again, Slick laughs in a raspy fashion.} http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2247/warttre.pnghttp://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2247/warttre.png http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/DAMiaN.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/LeperMessiah.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Versus/VS.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/DonnieJ.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/AshCampbell.jpg Demonic Intervention © vs. Cali-Air Tag Team Match WAR Tag Team Championship Match “Strength crushes speed!” It should come as NO shock that Cali-Air has a tall task ahead of them. That said, you wouldn’t know of this if you looked at their faces alone. Speeding around the ring with a youthful bounce, the West Coast fliers are shown attempting to incessantly overrun their much larger opponents with a string of lightning-quick aerial strikes. At first, their approach works rather well; however, sadly enough, at least for them, no such sense of luck would persist for very long. In the end, it’s only a matter of time before the overpowering hands of DAMiaN and Leper Messiah finally clasp around the throats of their descending challengers. Before you know it, after physically crushing the youthful fliers before them, stringing along a number of power moves that would eventually leave small shambles of life left in the collective body of Cali-Air, Demonic Intervention is shown securing the victory following a “Prophecy” from Leper Messiah upon motionless frame of the beaten & bruised Ash Campbell. From there, all that’s left is a standard three count as the towering Leper Messiah is shown simply slamming his foot upon his fallen opponent’s face; utilizing said step as his pinfall attempt. Winner: Demonic Intervention via pinfall Ending Maneuver: “The Prophecy” (Crucifix Powerbomb) from Leper Messiah upon Ash Campbell Ending Time: 5:06 Note: This marks Demonic Intervention’s 1st successful WAR Tag Team Championship defense! Steve Smith: Well… they tried. These young fliers in Cali-Air really gave it their all, and had the champs staggering due to their incessant speed early on, but, in the end, the powerful hand of Demonic Intervention was just TOO much to overcome. Truthfully, knowing our WAR General is looking to evolve the company going forward, I hope Nemesis reaches out to NEW Tag Teams in which to compete under the banner of WAR. I HONESTLY don’t think we have very many teams on our roster who can actually COMPETE with these guys. In the end, we’ll need strength in numbers if we EVER want to see these straps on another team! Slick Rick: Nemesis could hire the whole f*cking U.S. Arm y and I STILL don’t think Demonic Intervention would be in trouble of losing their belts. Steve Smith: They’re the FIRST-EVER WAR Tag Team Champions and there’s a good chance, ladies and gentlemen, that NO ONE will ever come along to dethrone them. We may be witnessing our one and only Tag Team Champs… http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/BuddyGarner.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/EricTyler.jpg Backstage tension Involved: Buddy Garner and Eric Tyler “Well... I didn't clear him nor would I!” {A short hype video is shown in which to depict the weathered “Machine” as potentially at his breaking point. Documenting the injury suffered by Garner at the hands of his rival, Eric Tyler, the actual display of such a heinous assault is ultimately framed in a chaotic fashion. With the lens shaking and the music roaring, the overall depiction shows the attack to be truly barbaric in nature.} {In the end though, stepping away from the attack at hand, the lingering footage centers more around the professional view of a nearby doctor within his practice as he speaks about Buddy Garner’s current physical state. Analyzing Garner’s elbow injury with a number of x-rays, the 40-something, silver-haired, doc appears to believe that Buddy is simply not ‘ready’ for action tonight. That said, his fear for Garner’s health becomes that much more of a plea of sorts as he discovers tonight’s match is actually within a steel cell. In connection, it’s obvious that his doctor doesn’t feel comfortable with Buddy competing within such vicious confines when being limited as he is.} Steve Smith: I’m afraid I have to agree with the doc. Buddy Garner’s “Machine”-like go-go-go style is truly admirable; however, going into that cell tonight is another form of suicide if you ask me. The sling is off for now but one has to wonder whether or not his body will hold up given his injuries. All it takes is another arm-bar from Tyler tonight and we may have a retirement on our hands. Slick Rick: I hope Tyler finishes the job tonight. Garner shouldn’t be in that ring tonight; that’s obvious. If he wants to be an idiot then I hope he feels the pain of being one. Steve Smith: Sadly, there’s a good chance that he will. Surviving in a steel cell, with 5-other competitors, is hard enough to do at 100%. With Garner, there’s a good chance he’ll break down before the match is done. I just wish someone could talk some sense into him. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JaysonWright.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/BrutusOLeary.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Blondie.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Dharma.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Misty.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Mandy.jpg Backstage Skit Involved: Jayson Wright, Brutus O'Leary, + The WAR Pin-up Girls (Blondie, Dharma, Misty, and Mandy) “It's not safe...” {We transition backstage in which to see the heroic youngster, Jayson “Mr.” Wright, standing amongst the beautiful bombshells of the WAR Pin-up Girls. With their arms around the man who once saved them, all be it to only get beat up himself, “Mr.” Wright appears to remain focused despite having so much lovely attention. That said, as he wrenches upon his fists, obviously focused in his demeanor for tonight’s match, Jayson looks to be held in high regard as it pertains to the Pin-up Girls before him. One lady for sure, his sister Dharma, stands slightly off to the right of her brother; smiling as she seems proud of what she’s seen from him.} [blondie]: Thank you, Jayson, for being there when we needed you. [Misty]: Yea, we owe you everything! [Mandy]: If it wasn’t for you, we may have been just another victim to Demonic Intervention. {Dharma places her hand on her brother’s shoulder in which to embrace him in a sincere fashion.} [Dharma]: No matter where I go, I know that I’m safe as long as I have you around. {Jayson nods his head and smiles at his little sister as the two embrace in a hug. With that in mind, the rest of the WAR Pin-up Girls are heard relaying a heartfelt ‘awww’ as the touching moment pulls them all in.} [Jayson “Mr.” Wright]: I told pops that I wouldn’t let you out of my sight. I’m not breaking that promise, Dharma. {The two embrace in a hug once again.} [Jayson “Mr.” Wright]: Don’t worry about Hopkirk either. He’ll pay for what he said about you last week. There ‘aint no way that he’s getting another one over me! [Dharma]: Kick that greasy-butt loser! {Jayson laughs slightly, moved by Dharma’s folksy nature, as the two break from their hug. With that in mind though, as he does, Jayson’s eyes travel off camera to the right. His whole sense of body language changes as he slowly shuffles away from the WAR Pin-up Girls to stand before whoever we can’t see. That said, as the camera man finally pans out, we see that the person is none other than his tag team partner for tonight… Brutus O’Leary.} {Staring at one another, eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, in a silent fashion, these two fan favorites appear to analyze the other in real-time. Slowly though, with a hand extended out by “Mr.” Wright, the two finally embrace in a hardened handshake; showing a sense of unity. In the end, as the scene comes to a close, we witness the final moments of their silent stare-down as both appear ready for action tonight.} Steve Smith: Two of the hottest young talents in WAR are set to team with one another here tonight! Jayson “Mr.” Wright… “The Hand of Stone” Brutus O’Leary… man-o-man what a combination! Slick Rick: Doesn’t really matter WHO they are, or what you think they’ll become, because tonight they’ve got a f*cking mountain before them. Hopkirk… and the Tri-State King… Alex Braun… There ‘aint no coming away with a win there! Steve Smith: It will certainly be a tall task but we’ve seen these kind of upsets before! Sometimes youthful energy, and sheer will, can trump the veteran craftiness of a group like Hopkirk and Braun. Slick Rick: Not tonight. I promise you that! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/AlexBraun.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/RandallHopkirk.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Versus/VS.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/BrutusOLeary.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/JaysonWright.jpg Alex Braun and Hopkirk vs. Brutus O'Leary and Jayson Wright Tag Team Match “Squashing their X-Factor” Their pairings feel rather forced, as if no one really trusts the other; however, the action itself still rages forward as it’s fueled by their individual hatreds of one another. That said, given their independent pasts with one another, the actual functional part of their teams feel rather rigid; missed tags, botched double maneuvers, etc. Regardless of the glaring awkwardness, sheer hatred is what fuels the competitive action throughout. In the end, despite their youthful eagerness, the devious intentions of the Tri-State Kings is what ultimately swings the match in the heel’s favor. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/SteveFlash-1.jpg Flash removes the turnbuckle pad! Removing a nearby turnbuckle pad, exposing the steel bolt in the process, an unseen Steve Flash makes his presence known without tipping off the referee of his arrival. Seconds later, as he tips off his own partner to such, whistling from outside of the ring to Alex Braun, the brutish bully in the “Ice Man” is shown Irish whipping his boxer rival, chest-first, square into the steel bolt. As you can expect, the strike expels of the wind from O’Leary’s stomach as he staggers away in pain. This opens JUST enough room for Braun to sweep in and drop his recent rival with a heavy boot to the stomach followed by his signature “Braun Damage” seconds later. Without Jayson Wright being able to stop the count, struggling to regain his own composure outside of the ring as the greasy Hopkirk stands over him with a devious smirk upon his face, the match ultimately comes to an end with a standard three-count in favor of the awkward pairing of Hopkirk and Braun. In the end, while heavily contested on both ends, it’s the interfering hand of the Tri-State King, Steve Flash; however, that brings about the course of actions in which to end the match. Winner: Alex Braun and Hopkirk via pinfall Ending Maneuver: “Braun Damage” (Spiked Cradle-Piledriver) following an exposed turnbuckle collision (put forth by an unseen interfering Steve Flash) Ending Time: 5:53 Steve Smith: They wanted this win, it’s pretty obvious, but the veteran craftiness is what put them over… Well, that and Steve Flash. Slick Rick: Just goes to show you, O’Leary is a boxer; not a wrestler. Jayson Wright is NOT “Mr.” Wright but a little snot-nosed punk with sister issues. {Raspy laugh follows} You two aren’t ready for the ring… go back from where you came. Steve Smith: It’s a little early to write them off, Slick. I mean, if it wasn’t for Flash, there’s a good chance that they COULD have won tonight’s matchup. Do they still seem somewhat green in the ring? Oh good GOD yes… but… We’ve seen both of these men really put down A LOT that shows they CAN be something great in the future. Their time will come… I have NO doubt of it. Slick Rick: Their time is never, Steve-o! It’s pretty obvious to see… http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/EricTyler.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JohnnyMartin.jpg Backstage Scheming Involved: Eric Tyler and Johnny Martin “Bringing the belt to the Tri-State area!” {Transitioning backstage, we witness the sight of fellow Tri-State King members, Eric Tyler and Johnny Martin, standing within their own personal locker room. With a small TV before them, one that has just relayed the fact that their stable-mate, Alex Braun, was just victorious in tag action, the long-time veterans of East Coast fame are shown turning toward one another with a collective grin of high-arrogance upon their face; the kind that comes with a lofty sense of self-awareness after much success.} [Johnny Martin]: Notch another one up for the Tri-State Kings… {Their collective smirk grows larger.} [Eric Tyler]: Even with that greasy simpleton at his side, there’s no stopping Braun. Just like, tonight, there will be no stopping US from walking away with the WAR Championship. {Again, their collective smirk grows larger as a slight nod is utilized as well.} [Eric Tyler]: We’ve been up and down this road many of times... There’s no damn way we won’t walk out with the gold… [Johnny Martin]: Whether it’s you, or it’s me, we’re bringing the belt to the Tri-State Kings. There’s no doubt about it. And when we do, we’re going to use our leverage to push WAR out of this god-forsaken seas-pool. {Both nod in an agreeing fashion as it’s expected they know what’s being implied without originally being said.} [Eric Tyler]: … We’ll take this place, remove it from the cancer that is Las Vegas, and bring some credibility to WAR… {Pauses as he smirks} … To the hallowed ground of the Tri-State area! [Johnny Martin]: With the gold, Nemesis won’t have the chance to say no… {A collective laugh is heard as the two believe to be on the verge of a company-altering moment.} [Eric Tyler]: They want a revolution? I mean, we’re called… Wrestling Action in… Revolt… right? {Nods his head as he appears more focused than ever} … We’ll too damn bad! We’ve been on top of this industry for decades now and I, for one, aren’t moving over anytime soon! [Johnny Martin]: Amen… [Eric Tyler]: Tonight, the WAR Championship comes… to the Tri…State…Kings! [Johnny Martin]: Let the revolution… {Pauses as everyone believes he will say ‘begin’…} … die… {The two laugh wildly with one another as they slowly walk off camera patting each other’s back in the process. None the less, as the scene comes to a close, the lingering thought appears to be… Will the Tri-State Kings, two men who have the best odds at victory given their numbers game, potentially change WAR forever with a championship win tonight?} Steve Smith: You would fancy that wouldn’t you, Slick; moving WAR to the Tri-State area? Slick Rick: I love Vegas but b*tches are everywhere… {Raspy laughter follows} They’re easy in Vegas… they’re easy in New York… Hell, they’re EXTREMELY easy in Jersey… Don’t matter where we are! Steve Smith: Of course that would be your response. Slick Rick: Hey… I think with my head… Steve Smith: … So says the man ‘this’ close to imprisonment… {Slick Rick laughs in a raspy fashion as he wears such a comment with pride it seems.} http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Cletus.jpg Taped Video on Location Involved: Cletus © “Come and get it!” {At this point, a guerilla-like-shot video is shown wrapped within the shaky-camera view of an unsteady hand behind the lens. At first, it’s almost impossible to make out what’s being shown, as the lens is to frantic to rest upon anything; however, with time, it becomes more apparent that we are currently within a dark and dingy wood shack. With the camera still bouncing around frantically, it’s unknown what’s entirely there; however, small snippets of newspaper clippings on the wall, sprawled about in a psychotic-like manner, begin to shape the scenario at hand is entirely twisted.} {Slowly, the camera lens peers through the darkness of the shack before us, until a small light above the camera finds a resting place upon the silver plate of something in the distance. With time, as the camera lens gets closer, zooming in and out in an undisciplined manner, it becomes known that the gleaming silver-plate before us, cast in the darkness, is none other than the WAR Sin City Championship.} {From there, as the lens becomes slightly more focused, never reaching a max though as it darts around in a motion-sickness-driving fashion, it eventually unveils the sight of the towering grizzly bear himself, Cletus, standing within said darkened wooden shack.} {Standing in silence, a fact that portrays him in a menacing fashion that much more, the hairy behemoth grips onto the WAR Sin City Championship as if he were a hungry wolf clinging to it’s food. Then, out of nowhere, the voice of the amateur camera-man, currently behind the lens, is heard projected above the scene at hand.} [unknown Camera Man]: If yuh wahnt yuh strap… Yous gunna half-duh come into the mountins and gedd-it… {A wild sense of laughter is heard behind the lens as Cletus continues to stand in a silent fashion before. Then, as the camera continues to bounce around in an uneasy fashion, jolting every which way in the process, a door off-camera is heard being violently opened in a thunderous fashion. Seconds later, a small-framed man, one dressed in business attire which most certainly depicts him as ‘not from here’, is shown being kicked into the shack in a brutish fashion. Wild laughter can be heard in the background as the camera man ultimately captures said business-man absolutely pleading for his life.} [Kidnapped Business Man]: Please, I have a wife and kids… Tomorrow is my son’s birthday… I won’t press any charges… just let me go… {The wild laughter continues in the background as the kidnapped business man attempts to pull out his wallet and throw everything he has in the direction of the lens.} [unknown Camera Man]: Hey dare Cletus… fancy-man wants yur strap… {The business man’s eyes widen as it’s obvious to see he’s fearful for his life. Instantly, he spins around to plead with the hairy behemoth standing behind him in a stoic fashion.} [Kidnapped Business Man]: No… No… No… I didn’t come here for anything… Your boys here kidnapped me… I don’t want anything of… {With that, following a bear-like roar, Cletus is shown throwing the Sin City Championship to the darkened floor below. Meanwhile, charging aggressively, the back-home champion is ultimately shown viciously assaulting the small-framed man in a matter of a few seconds. Following a string of powerful throws, Cletus eventually brings his consciousness to a halt with a raging big boot square across the jaw. As expected, given the brute, primal, strength of Cletus, and the smaller frame of his victim, the kidnapped business man is ultimately shown cast into the air as he finds his resting place against the nearby wall.} {Huffing in an alpha-like fashion, the hairy behemoth eventually turns to the camera lens and roars like a angered grizzly; slamming his tree-trunk-like fists upon his chest at one point. In the end, the footage comes to a close as Cletus grabs the lens before him and swiftly throws it across the room; a fact that, at first, gives us an even more jostled vision before coming to a dead-air scenario upon impact.} {Silence is heard as both Steve Smith and Slick Rick are shocked as to what they just saw.} Steve Smith: Ladies and gentlemen… {Shakes his head as he can’t mentally shake anything he just witnessed.} … I… I honestly don’t know what to say at this time. This goes above the WAR Sin City Championship, or wrestling for that matter, as it appears something VERY wrong has just taken place. I could count the amount of illegal things that just happened on both of my hands… I’m speechless… Slick Rick: Laws don’t mean anything to those in Appalachia. Honestly, you send some cops in there and I’m sure the very same thing would happen. Steve Smith: I hope he’s okay; that man in the suit. Slick Rick: Something tells me… He’s not. {Steve Smith attempts to move on; however, is still obviously influenced by what he just saw.} Steve Smith: Well, whether Cletus is ON the roster or not… He DOES have the WAR Sin City Championship in his grasp. I don’t know what it’s going to take, or WHO for that matter, but SOMEONE… or SOMETHING… needs to get it back. Slick Rick: You saw what happened when someone ‘treds on him and his boys’… It’s going to take someone with a death-wish to EVER attempt to get the belt back… Steve Smith: I’m afraid you’re right… http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/AmericanElemental-1.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Versus/VS.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/SnapDragon.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Versus/VS.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/SteveFlash-1.jpg American Elemental vs. Snap Dragon vs. Steve Flash Three-way Singles Match First Elimination Rules “Flash Dragon!” Speeding within the blackened ropes of the WAR wrestling ring, the trio of American Elemental, Snap Dragon, and Steve Flash, roar as a collective whirlwind of action. Providing a stark contrast to your typical WAR in-ring approach, the brutal aspects of their altercation rely less upon hard-headed power and relies more effectively upon high-speed seamless exchanges. Utilizing the air-above as their playground, no man seems all that interested in employing a safe approach. Instead, as they slam into one another like a cyclone, the smaller-framed WAR fliers use every inch of their frames to ultimately wear-down the other with reckless abandon. For close to 10-minutes, the action never seizes as each man executes one jaw-dropping maneuver after the next. In the end though, after their all-out affair, it is shocking split-second reversal that brings about the close of their highly contested back-and-forth. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/AlexBraun.jpg Attempting to return the favor! With Alex Braun attempting to ‘return the favor’ in helping his fellow Tri-State King, Steve Flash, the matchup ultimately looks like it may go in the direction of the cheater. That said, with Jez firmly holding control over the match, Braun is simply unable to actually become physical. Instead, acting as a distractor, the “Ice Man” does all he can to get into the mind of the others before Flash. Despite all of this though, as Flash attempts his signature “Flash Bang” (Side belly-to-back suplex), Snap Dragon, the man stuck in such a maneuver, is ultimately able to free himself in mid-air. Flipping over and returning to his feet BEHIND Flash, Dragon is ultimately shown rolling the veteran Flash up with a modified roll-up. Putting all of his weight downward, the masked Snap Dragon is ultimately able to score a shocking 3-count as if from nowhere; a fact made more evident by no one having even the slightest chance to break said pinfall. Winner: Snap Dragon via flash pinfall Ending Maneuver: Reversing a “Flash Bang” into a flash modified roll-up Ending Time: 8:52 Steve Smith: WHOA! That came from nowhere! One second it looks like Steve Flash is on the verge of victory and then, seconds later, we have an entirely different outcome. Snap Dragon MAY have won by the skin of his teeth but it’s a win none the less! Slick Rick: I’m calling Bull-sh*t! There ‘aint no damn way that Dragon does that again… No damn way! Re-start the match Jez, do something RIGHT for once, re-start the match and see to it that this doesn’t end in such a bull-sh*t manner! Steve Smith: You know that’s not happening, Slick. Snap Dragon, while winning out of nowhere, still… won! If Flash wants revenge then he’ll have to get it at a later date. Tonight, Dragon is on-top of things! Slick Rick: I’m STILL calling bull-sh*t! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Nemesis-1.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Ares.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Who.jpg Announcement Involved: WAR General Nemesis, Ares, and ???? “Blitzkrieg!” {As the match comes to a close, and the rabid WAR fan-base is heard showering the victorious Snap Dragon with a response fit for an explosive winner, the mood ultimately turns as Dragon’s mysterious theme comes to a halt.} {Slowly shuffling through the “Gates of WAR”, the weathered WAR General is shown coming to a stop at the very top of the ramp-way. Standing in a way that shows the obvious rigidity of his body, a symbol of his years of torture in DaVE, Nemesis looks down upon the ring with a sense of intense authority permeating from his very stance. Protruding his stern chin outward, snarling in a smug-like fashion in the process, the competitors in the ring appear to be confused about his presence there. In a way, it looks like this briefing was NOT planned in any sense of the word.} [WAR General Nemesis]: Now THAT… is the kind of action I’m bringing to POP! {Everyone, fans and competitors included, appear confused as to what that means. That said, as Nemesis pauses for a brief second, theoretically patting his OWN back already, the WAR General eventually moves on to speak once again; standing in a stern, statuesque, kind of fashion atop the ramp-way.} [WAR General Nemesis]: As many of you know by now, with the recent heinous attack upon the WAR Owner, J.K. Stallings Jr… {Nemesis pauses as a slight smirk forms upon his face; possibly hinting at something.} … I, and I alone, have stepped to the forefront as the remaining hand of authority here in Wrestling Action in Revolt. {The crowd boos at the sound of such a truth.} [WAR General Nemesis]: It was ME who brought us to POP! and it will be ME who eventually molds this company in MY own image. You see, as I touched upon last week, there’s a hurricane-like wind of change coming to WAR. I’ve grown tired of the mediocrity in this company and I intend on lighting the FIRE under it’s a$$ once again. That’s why, days ago, I broke ground on THE most explosive division this industry has EVER seen… {The WAR General pauses once again as the competitors within the ring seem EVEN more confused than before.} [WAR General Nemesis]: In 2-weeks time, when I personally bring WAR to POP!, you will ALL witness my greatest creation. High-speed, never-ending, death-defying, daredeviling, life-on-the-line wrestling that will not only change this company but will also forcibly rattle the industry as a whole. While other company’s are focused on the same bull-sh*t we’ve seen for years, WAR will lead the way for a NEW generation… A generation of suicidal action… a generation… of… Blitzkrieg wrestling. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Nemesis-1.jpg The General brings the Blitzkrieg Division to WAR! {The crowd pops at the sound of such. That said, despite being cheered for a second, the WAR General eventually re-cements his heel presence with one small phrase before the details.} [WAR General Nemesis]: Now, I know that you all are too stupid to realize it… {Crowd boos like crazy} … But no need to worry, I’ve done your thinking for you. Soon enough, you’ll be embracing my greatest creation, the Blitzkrieg division, and the world will NEVER be the same again. I’ll search far-and-wide for THE greatest talent imaginable, THE most suicidal, THE… most… incessant, in hopes of cementing the legacy of WAR… {Pauses} Starting with Ares’ opponent set for here tonight… {The crowd seems intrigued about WHO will be Ares’ opponent; however, their lingering boo still overtakes the sound at hand.} [WAR General Nemesis]: You see, I could have unveiled this truth to all of you idiots leading INTO the show tonight but, knowing your stupidity, you probably would have f*cked it all up. So without further ado, my newest signing, and an original member of the Blitzkrieg roster, I give to you… {Everyone waits on the edge of their seats for Nemesis’ statement; however, the WAR General utilizes this moment to STILL float his own ego; pissing off the fans in the process.} [WAR General Nemesis]: … the symbol of my greatness… {Nemesis continues to pause for a second as the crowd boos him like crazy. Meanwhile, protruding his trademark stern chin, the WAR General doesn’t seem to show any interest to their response.} [WAR General Nemesis]: … MASKED… COUGAR!! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/MaskedCougar.jpg Masked Cougar joins WAR under the Blitzkrieg Division! {With that, a cougar-like growl is overheard kicking-off the raging theme music of the newfound WAR wrestler. Within seconds, Masked Cougar is shown exploding out of the back with a sense of high-energy; throwing his arms around to entice the fans in a purely explosive fashion. Meanwhile, as he storms toward the ring at speeds unknown, the WAR General is ultimately shown clapping his hands in approval; smirking in a smug fashion that says MORE about Nemesis’ own personal confidence than that of the division he has just created.} Steve Smith: WHOA! The Blitzkrieg division? I’m not ALWAYS a fan of the WAR General’s decision making process, as it seems EVERYTHING is ultimately about HIM and HIM alone, but this? Wow! This is going to absolutely revolutionize WAR as we know it! Slick Rick: You bag on the man, calling him a self-absorbed a$$hole, but look what he brought to us! The Blitzkrieg division WILL turn this company upside down as we transition to POP! And it’s ALL thanks to… Nemesis… our WAR General… Steve Smith: I guess I can’t disagree with you there. I mean, while controversial, Nemesis has certainly created a unique tone with WAR. Now, adding the wrestlers of Blitzkrieg, there’s no denying that the WAR General has TRULY taken control of the company. He says he’s going to shape WAR in ‘his own image’... Well, there’s no better way than adding a division that he would have truly embraced in his youth! Slick Rick: This is going to be f*cking awesome! Steve Smith: I’ve just heard word from backstage that the WAR website will highlight this new division in the next coming days. Keep your eyes glued to the screen because a full run-down of the Blitzkrieg division will be unveiled before we actually step onto POP! Slick Rick: Can’t wait, Steve-o… can’t wait! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/Ares.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Versus/VS.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/MaskedCougar.jpg Ares vs. Masked Cougar Singles Match “The eye of the...Cougar!” Despite being the one levied with the shock of a debuting opponent, it’s the rebellious “GOD of WAR” that, at least initially, does the ‘shocking’ as he recklessly overruns the masked man before him. Bouncing off nearby ropes with an explosive sense of energy, Ares speeds within the ring ropes as he physically depicts his punk-rock persona to a “T”. More or less, it’s this unorthodox, highly destructive, even to himself, approach to life that ultimately leaves the debuting Masked Cougar reeling straight away. That said, as he begins to regain his footing, becoming comfortable with the pace of a Blitzkrieg altercation, the ferocious Cougar ultimately pushes his own brand of high-flying action to the forefront. Matching his reckless opponent with a seamless display of aerial prowess, Cougar eventually brings the match to a point of being even as neither seems to be able to separate from the other. Diving from on high, even descending upon one another as they stand outside of the ring, the twisting, and turning, fliers do all they can to physically crush the other. At one point, it seemed as though they would, as said, crush one another in a collective fashion, both slamming onto the canvas violently after colliding in mid-air, but, with time, the unthinkable would come to pass… It’s no shock that many would expect Ares to come away with the win. I mean, he IS the “GOD of WAR” and the debuting Masked Cougar doesn’t seem all that imposing at first. That said, as Ares’ recklessness bites him in the a$$, missing a senton splash that ultimately drives his head into the canvas, Cougar is able to capitalize in executing a swift drop-kick square to the lying head of the “GOD of WAR”. Semi-motionless, Ares is ultimately unable to pick himself up right before Masked Cougar is shown executing his signature “Cougar Pounce” from on high; landing his feet square across the upper chest of the fallen Ares in the process. In the end, seconds later, as everyone watches on in a state of shock, the newfound flier in Masked Cougar is ultimately declared the victor of the match; a fact that many were NOT expecting to see happen. Winner: Masked Cougar via pinfall Ending Maneuver: “Cougar Pounce” (Top-rope double foot stomp) Ending Time: 7:34 Steve Smith: What a first impression for Masked Cougar!! He comes in as one of the FIRST signings to the WAR Blitzkrieg division and ultimately walks out with a victory that… well… to be honest… not many thought was possible! Slick Rick: Ares has been on a roll as of late… This is just f*cking crazy to see! I mean, that p*ssy ‘aint going to go far here in WAR but, at least tonight, he made some waves! Steve Smith: How can you say he won’t go far? He just defeated a man that many see as THE hottest talent the Blitzkrieg division will most likely have! If anything, this shows that Masked Cougar may have a VERY bright future ahead of him! Slick Rick: He’s too soft. He may have got the win tonight but that’s only cause Ares f*cked himself over with that botched senton splash. In 2-weeks, when the Blitzkrieg title is settled on POP!, I have NO doubt that he’ll be one of the first punks on their back. Steve Smith: He DOES have to prove he has the endurance to keep up with the brutality of Blitzkrieg wrestling but, to be honest, I think he’ll be able to do it. I guess we’ll see though when “Battleground” goes to POP! WHO will be the FIRST-EVER WAR Blitzkrieg champion? That, and who will actually BE in the division, are bound to be found out very soon! I can’t WAIT to see who ELSE the WAR General has brought along! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/TroyTornado.jpg Backstage Promo Involved: Troy Tornado © “F*ck-off!” {Standing before a collection of hazed hanger-ons, lying around the room like the strung-up ‘sucker-fishes’ they are, the rebellious WAR Champion, Troy Tornado, looks upon the camera lens with a dirty grin running across his scruffy face. With his midnight black sunglasses beaming masking his eyes, Tornado lazily stands in a true down-and-dirty rocker style; equip with all the craziness that often coincides with such. None the less, as a layer of heavy smoke circulates around the scene at hand, Tornado ultimately begins to speak with a tone that can only be described as snarky in nature.} [Troy Tornado]: They’re calling me a ‘loose-cannon’ these days… {Laughs to himself, under his breath, as he smirks devilishly} … They say that I’m irrational… reckless… a determent to my own health… {Tornado laughs again while smirking} … Well, f*ck, I guess I am. {Pauses as he smirks} I’ve never stepped into THAT ring with any care for what others thought; if I did then I probably would have fizzled out LONG AGO. To me, it’s all just a bunch of bull-sh*t chatter… So, when Nemesis added his voice to the crowd of haters, I found myself unfazed. {Pauses} I keep on hearing from everyone, “How can you stand for this?”… “How can you work for a company where the sole authority wants your head on a platter?”… {Shakes his head; smirking} To some that might all be valid but to me… {Scoffs} … I don’t really give a sh*t. {The WAR Champion pauses for a brief second as he flashes that ultra-arrogant, yet lazy, smirk in the process. Meanwhile, his championship gold, lying over his right shoulder, gleams from the lights above.} [Troy Tornado]: So what If I’m reckless? So what if I’m some a$$hole punk? Some Loose-cannon rebel? {Pauses} Nemesis says I remind him of himself and I guess I’m supposed to take that as some sense of a compliment but… to be honest… who the f*ck cares? I don’t. I came to WAR not because I wanted to stand aside LEGENDS… Hell, I didn’t even come here to build my OWN legacy… {Pauses} I came here… simply enough… to say F*CK YOU to the world who pushed me aside. {Pauses} I came to Wrestling Action in Revolt to raise my middle-finger in the air… to say F*CK-OFF to those who said I couldn’t do this… or couldn’t do that… {Pauses} For years, I was Cornell’s lacky boy, some little flier to tout as a ‘home-grown-guy’, but what did that get me? Bull-sh*t… {Pauses} If Nemesis wants to crush me for reminding him of himself then so-f*cking-be-it… {Pauses} I’ve been through worst in my life… {Pauses} but if he plans on succeeding… He’ll have to get his sh*t in gear because… {Devilish grin forms} … I ‘aint f*cking going anywhere! I’m on top… and I plan on STAYING… on… top… So bring it, Nemesis… bring ALL you have… {Pauses; smirks} ... I’ll be the one raising the middle-finger at you every… step… of… the…way… {With that, a spirited Tornado steps past the camera lens with a sense of rebellious energy unseen thus far. While still lazy in his stance, for the first time it appears that the WAR Champion is gearing up for an absolute war. None the less, as he exits the scene, leaving his strung-up hanger-ons to lie in their own drug-induced coma, the down-and-dirty rocker shuffles his way through the backstage hallways in route to the ringside area; focused and determined to stay on top.} Steve Smith: After tension for months turned to intense hatred, the heated rivalry between the WAR General and his champion just took a new turn for the worst. I can’t imagine what Nemesis will have in store for Tornado if he survives here tonight in our steel cell main event. I mean, the General became physical with the champ far before any of this hatred became known. Now, without Stallings as a check-and-balance, there’s no telling what Nemesis may do to Tornado. Then again, as it seems, Tornado doesn’t really give a… well… you know… Slick Rick: He BETTER start! Then again, I doubt Tornado leaves tonight with the belt. The General put him in a rough position with this steel cell match. There’s no TELLING what the other 5-competitors will DO to walk out with the gold. Not to mention, we don’t even KNOW who the 6th competitor could be? For all we know, it could be the general himself… Steve Smith: I don’t know about that… Nemesis’ days in the ring are long past him. Slick Rick: Bull-sh*t! He practically ripped Tornado’s head off a few weeks back with ONE punch. He’s STILL got it in him! Steve Smith: But he can barely walk without grimacing in pain. His body is NOT competition ready… He would get himself killed. Slick Rick: That’s never stopped Nemesis in the past. Mark it down, bet on it now, I’m calling the WAR General to put HIMSELF in tonight’s main event as the mystery opponent. He’ll take the strap RIGHT off Tornado himself! Steve Smith: Good GOD… that’d be one hell of a scenario… http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Who.jpg Mystery Entrant Involved: ???? “Howling at the moon!” {As the competitors for tonight’s main event stand within the unforgiving confines of a WAR wrestling ring, awaiting the ominous cell to drop upon them, everyone in attendance looks toward the “Gates of WAR” in anticipation of WHO the mystery opponent would be. Slowly, a chant of “Nemesis” can be heard circulating amongst the rabid grouping, even if he IS currently a heel, as the ‘dirt-sheets’ have tipped off many of it’s readers too such a scenario potentially coming to pass.} {That said, as everyone’s eyes are locked on the entrance way… a curve-ball is ultimately thrown in their direction.} {The sound of snarling wolf can be heard aggressively overtaking the ringside area as a hype video is shown upon the Stallings Tron above the “Gates of WAR”. In said hype video, the view from the focused eyes of what appears to be a wolf, shows said figure to be running through a wooded area in a feverish fashion. Darting in and out of bushes, fallen trees, and leaping over larger rocks, the intensely-wound wolf eventually comes to a large rock overlooking what appears to be the Vegas strip from on high.} {Projecting a loud howl, one directed upon the moon positioned slightly above the gleaming strip, the video ultimately comes to a climax with the sound of Shawn Gonzalez’ theme music overtaking the ringside area in an unadulterated fashion.} http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/ShawnGonzalez.jpg The "Lone Wolf" returns! [steve Smith]: IT’S GONZALEZ!! [slick Rick]: I thought he was ‘on the shelf’ after Prudence got ahold of him a few weeks back… [steve Smith]: I guess not!! Shawn Gonzalez is the mystery entrant into tonight’s main event! [slick Rick]: He should have just stayed down when he had the chance… {As expected, given the love the fans have for him, the rabid WAR fan-base is heard roaring with excitement as the man once thought to be ‘out injured’ returns to WAR in a matter of weeks.} {Slowly shuffling through the “Gates of WAR”, the “Lone Wolf” is eventually shown standing at the top of the rampway as he looks down upon one man in particular… James Prudence.} Steve Smith: I can’t believe my eyes! It was reported that Gonzalez had suffered a terrible concussion following his “Last Man Standing” match with James Prudence a week or so ago. There were even some whispers that, if he didn’t recover fast enough, we may NEVER see him in a WAR ring again!! Unluckily for Prudence, that’s not the case!! The “Lone Wolf” has returned with a chance for gold; however, more importantly, a chance for REVENGE upon the man who put him on the shelf to start with! Slick Rick: He did it once before and he’ll do it again! Gonzalez should have just stayed down… but… now that he’s here… Prudence will put him BACK on the shelf in no time! Steve Smith: Folks, we’ve got ourselves one HELL of a match lined up right now… I can’t wait… 6-men… Steel Cell… WAR Championship… Who will walk out of “Battleground” tonight with the gold in hand? http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3370/warcre.png http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/TroyTornado.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/BuddyGarner.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/EricTyler.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/JamesPrudence.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/JohnnyMartin.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Wrestlers/ShawnGonzalez.jpg Troy Tornado © vs. Buddy Garner vs. Eric Tyler vs. James Prudence vs. Johnny Martin vs. Shawn Gonzalez Six-way Steel Cell Match WAR Championship Match “Surviving Steel!” The brutality of the match is intensely obvious as the nightmarish steel cell is lowered from the ceiling. In turn, whether by sheer want to be ‘the guy’, or inspired by such vile confines, the action immediately explodes in an abrupt manner; entirely gripping with hardened violence. Sure, with time, things would settle down to a more tempered pace, taking on more of a traditional affair; however, as time grew upon, there was no hiding the viciousness of their altercation. Slamming one another into the sides of steel, each man does their very best to utilize the bone-crushing confines around them. At one point, it was anticipated that the match was on the verge of it’s end as Johnny Martin, known for his years in DaVE, practically crushed the skull of Buddy Garner with a speeding dart-like throw into the cell wall. Without being able to brace the crash, still unable to really USE his right arm after being injured by Eric Tyler a few weeks back, the impact was THAT much more dangerous in nature. None the less, as expected, Garner would trail in and out of the action; however, always looked to have had his bell-rung. That said, despite being obviously injured, the “Machine” never gives up; eventually getting BACK at Martin with a back-body-drop into the steel cell wall a good 5 minutes later. At one point, everything turns EVEN more ugly as the Tri-State Kings members, Eric Tyler and Johnny Martin, are shown cutting into the canvas below. In doing so, seconds later, a slew of weapons are shown to be introduced into the match. With such a notion coming to pass, it’s entirely apparent that this was part of their plan all along. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/EricTyler.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/JohnnyMartin.jpg The Tri-State Kings introduce weapons into the match! Troy Tornado most certainly wore the biggest target upon his back, a fact made known by taking ‘the best’ from everyone in the cell; however, in sheer Tornado-fashion, the down-and-dirty rocker is consistently seen rising to the occasion. Leaping off of the cell wall with a modified Moonsault of sorts, at one point even turning the very same dive into a tornado DDT upon Eric Tyler, the borderline reckless loose-cannon appears to be entirely comfortable within such heinous enclosures. More or less, despite being THE targeted guy, there’s little to no fear in his eyes… only a rebellious streak that extends into a wild in-ring approach. Being targeted eventually did push Tornado into the point of potential loss. Rising into his OWN, James Prudence is later shown sweeping in for the kill following the WAR Champion being leveled by an across-the-ring-thrown belly-to-belly-suplex. Due to his injuries, Garner, the man who used such a move, is obviously unable to capitalize; instead lying upon the canvas grimacing in intense pain. That said, seeing his shot, the scrappy youngster goes full-blown vulture as he picks away at the fallen Tornado. In the end, after weakening the champion some more, Prudence eventually goes on for the kill… Executing his signature “Better than Gold” (Stroke) maneuver following a strong irish whip into the cage, a fact that had Tornado striking the cell wall with his head, staggering him in the process, the rabid WAR fanbase watches on in horror as Prudence rolls Tornado over for a potential three count… 1… 2… He almost had the win. Almost had the WAR Championship by defeating a depleted Troy Tornado; however, no such scenario would come to pass… thanks to Shawn Gonzalez. The man who Prudence had tried so greatly to ‘end’, citing that he would ultimately receive the respect he deserves in doing so, is the man who went on to break his potentially victorious three-count; utilizing a punt to the head as his strike of choice. As time grew on, there was a sense of desperation, a sense of intense anger, growing with Prudence; however, no such chance to return to the potential lead was found. Instead, as time grew on, the WAR Champion eventually regained his composure; even with blood trickling down his head. In the end, Troy Tornado is able to do the unthinkable in outlasting 5 other competitors. With weapons inside, brought in by the Tri-State Kings, and a number of challengers ALL wanting to be THE guy, Troy Tornado ultimately retains the WAR Championship with a dramatic “F*ck-off” upon a fallen James Prudence (put there by a heated brawl with Gonzalez that eventually left both men lying on the canvas in a motionless fashion). Diving from on high, his body limp upon impact, Tornado, in the end, gains a three count in his favor as the WAR fanbase chants along with each slam of Jez McArthuer’s hand upon the canvas below. Winner: Troy Tornado via pinfall Ending Maneuver: “F*ck-off!” (Top-rope elbow drop) Ending Time: 30:07 Note: This marks Troy Tornado’s 8th successful WAR Championship defense! Steve Smith: TORNADO!!! TORNADO!! TORNADO!!! Slick Rick: You’ve GOT to be kidding me! Steve Smith: It looks like the WAR General won’t have EVERYTHING his way going into our deal with POP! Nemesis wanted the gold OFF of Troy Tornado; however, here tonight, after 30-minutes of action, blood being spilled, and a REALLY close call, Tornado has retained the strap! I don’t know about you, Slick, but… WOW… I’m exhausted! Slick Rick: … more like nauseous. So you mean to tell me that, in 2 weeks, when WAR comes to POP… Troy Tornado will STILL be the WAR Champion. {Shakes his head in disgust} This is the WORST f*cking thing that could happen to this company. We may as well start looking for new jobs… Steve Smith: That’s right, Slick. In 2 weeks, when we debut on the POP network, Troy Tornado will STILL be the WAR Champion… {Commotion is heard off camera} Wait a minute… and here’s the man himself, the WAR General, the ‘suit’ that wanted the gold off of him in the worst way… Slick Rick: Maybe the General will stomp his way down there and get the gold himself? Wouldn’t THAT be a great way to transition to POP; with the WAR General, Nemesis, as the TRUE WAR Champion!! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/TroyTornado.jpghttp://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Angles/Nemesis-1.jpg Post-match Stare-down Involved: Troy Tornado © and the WAR General Nemesis “And the rivalry continues...to POP!” {Slowly shuffling through the “Gates of WAR” with an angered look upon his face, the WAR General holds no emotion back as it’s rather obvious that he’s pissed about the outcome of tonight’s main event. Wrenching his fists, snarling viciously, and protruding his authoritative chin outward in a display of absolute sternness, Nemesis stares upon the squared circle with a look that, if possible, could certainly kill. Meanwhile, standing within the ring, barely upright as he appears to have gone through a car-accident of sorts, the bloodied WAR Champion rests his weakened frame up against a nearby ring-rope; obviously run-over by what just happened within that life-altering steel cell. With that said though, as the two share in a heated stare-down with one another, Tornado is actually able to project a devilish smirk upon his face.} {With blood rolling down the bridge of his nose, the smirking champion defies his own depleted physical state with a true ‘sh*t-eating-grin’ upon his face. Meanwhile, the WAR General burns a hefty hole square through the head of his unwanted champion; entirely fuming as he huffs in an alpha fashion from afar.} Steve Smith: He may hate him but the WAR General cannot get past the truth… Troy Tornado is THE WAR Champion and there isn’t ANYTHING… Nemesis… can do… about it! Slick Rick: I think I’m going to puke… Steve Smith: The down-and-dirty rocker MAY have broken a bone-or-two… Hell, he may have shortened his career with tonight’s match… BUT, without a shadow of a doubt, there is NO denying that Tornado is THE… MAN… in Wrestling Action in Revolt! Others may claim to be at the top but no one knows the view that our champion REALLY has. He’s on top of the world, on top of the industry, and there ‘aint NO ONE who can stop him! Slick Rick: … Honestly… I need a f*cking trash can… I’m going to hurl… Steve Smith: Join us in two weeks as Wrestling Action in Revolt comes to POP! Monday night, 9 PM, LIVE… 1st week of June… “Battleground”… takes over… YOUR TV!! Till then… NEVER forget… WE…ARE…WAR!!!! http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/PPV/WAR.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/WAR_Vegas/Logos/Closing.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timber Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Great show and solid way to keep the dynasty going. I was shocked to see Troy walk out with the belt, but it was good to see Gonzales back. I missed on Masked Cougar winning but in hindsight it should have been obvious. Things are gonna get even more fun with POP!. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterofnone Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Great show. And not a good night for Reign, as TITUS ends up in the hospital and Prudence takes the pin in the cell.

Eisen-verse Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Great show, didn't expect Tornado to walk away as champion. Also really looking forward to the Blitzkrieg division. roll on WAR on the Pop! Network. I entertained the idea of someone else walking out with the strap; however, for storyline reasons, and for the sheer fact that Tornado is really THE guy on the roster, it seemed best to keep the gold around the down-and-dirty rocker's waist. Now, going into POP!, there's an extra level of depth to the Nemesis/Tornado feud. At this point, it's gone from a sense of tension to a full-blown sense of warfare as it's pretty obvious to see that the WAR General is starting to lose his cool.... (as we saw on the 10th PPV Episode of "Battleground). As for the Blitzkrieg division, I'm crazy excited to get this off the ground. Right now, along with the rest of the roster, I'm trying to formulate my best range of talent for the division. That said, while most of them lie on a low-level sense of popularity, the search continues on for THE best representation of the brand I have in mind. Also, that said, I'm working on creating the website post officially introducing the division before it comes to a head on the 1st show on POP! That in mind, I'm trying to formulate it's own given brand (for Blitzkrieg) that stands as a small cultural pocket within WAR. It still carries all the same feel that the whole company does; however, with more of a charged-up feel (both visually and in practice). With that said, I'm taking my time to 'get it right'. Great show and solid way to keep the dynasty going. I was shocked to see Troy walk out with the belt, but it was good to see Gonzales back. I missed on Masked Cougar winning but in hindsight it should have been obvious. Things are gonna get even more fun with POP!. I can't wait. Ares is on a roll since he turned; however, to really SELL the fact that the Blitzkrieg division is to turn the company on it's head, I KNEW it was essential to have the newest debut member give the "GOD of WAR" a run of his money. Did he dominate him? GOD no. That said, it shows A) That anyone can win in such a high-paced, high-octane, style of wrestling and B) that Masked Cougar will be a force to be reckoned with. In the end, with the Blitzkrieg Division, all I can say is... ... take THAT CZCW... Great show. And not a good night for Reign, as TITUS ends up in the hospital and Prudence takes the pin in the cell. I imagine they'll be looking at a different lineup once the show switches to Pop. Reign certainly is at an unstable point. While they've looked entirely strong thus far, episode #10 had them appearing as if they 'can't get the job done'; a fact that, as we saw, feverishness enraged the WAR General to no-end. In the end, moving into POP!, the age-old Michael Jordan as a coach scenario will be employed with Nemesis. What does that mean? Jordan was THE man, if not THE greatest of all-time, and when he was on the court he could control EVERYTHING. He demanded the best out of himself, and others, and it made for a VERY successful run (where he became a LEGEND for that matter). Now, no longer active in competition, he's struggling to find out HOW to keep the very success going when he NO LONGER has a definite hand on what takes place. He explodes with anger when 'greatness' is not achieved. He throws tirades when he feels others aren't living up to HIS standards. Also, he's quick to dismiss anyone who DOESN'T keep up with his lofty, almost impossible, standards. With that in mind, coming off of a show like episode #10, the WAR General is absolutely fuming and finding out, first hand, the struggles of being on the OTHER side of the ring ropes. aka... The Michael Jordan becoming a coach scenario... Will they regain their footing? Well, I look at it this way... Either A) they will LIVE UP to Nemesis' impossible standards and become THE best of their generation (if not all-time) or else B) they will eventually prove to be 'less than' what Nemesis wants and will be dealt with accordingly. I guess we'll see where Prudence, TITUS, and the Guru really lie on the spectrum of greatness going forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emark Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 E-V, completely agree with you the Tornado is THE guy and I'm not seeing anyone at this point that would be as entertaining. Not to say that it won't happen but Tornado is definitely the top man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
