It's standing room only, as the fans file in for what promises to be a night that won’t soon be forgotten. The camera cuts to ringside, and a two-person announce team. Bob Sinclair: Hello once again, everyone, and welcome to the final night of Season Five! I'm Bob Sinclair, joined at ringside by Frankie Garnett. Tori Montgomery will not be joining us tonight, as she is preparing for the League Championship match that is our main event of the evening. Frankie, I don't think tonight's going to be as chaotic as last night was! Frankie Garnett: You can say that again, Bob. Last night was certainly one of the most ridiculous and, to be perfectly honest, frightening nights I've experienced in all my years covering this sport. I've seen barbed wire matches, I've seen hardcore matches, and I've seen deathmatches...but I never thought that last one would be taken as seriously as it was last night! Bob Sinclair: For those of you who missed last night's show, Maxx Skabb's contract has been terminated with cause, as he was threatening to stab—yes, folks, stab—the man who beat him last night, Ben Stanton after nearly crushing his skull once the match was over. I've been told that Stanton has ignored the advice of his medical team, and is in the arena tonight, ready to compete. Frankie Garnett: After what he went through last night? His brains must be worse off than we thought, Bob. There's no way he should even be walking right now, much less able to compete! Bob Sinclair: Nonetheless, Frankie, Stanton is here and is ready to go, as we kick off the tournament semifinals! SEMIFINAL 1: Benjamin T. Stanton, Jr. (9-9, 35%) vs. Diamond (12-6, 29%) "Here Comes the Money" hits the speakers, as one of this season's surprises emerges from the back, with a beautiful woman hanging off his left arm. He pays no attention to the jeering fans, his attitude simply screaming "I'm better than you." Amelia Williams: Our opening contest of the evening is a tournament semifinal bout scheduled for the best two out of three falls! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Missy Callistra, from Providence, Rhode Island, weighing 224 pounds...Benjamin T. Stanton, Jr.! Bob Sinclair: You can clearly see the bandaged head of Stanton, where he took a hellacious beating last night. I'm not sure he's fit to compete; he's having a hard enough time getting into the ring. Frankie Garnett: Isn't that what I've been saying? I might not think too highly of his skills, Bob, but the kid has a career—a freaking life—to look forward to! Why throw it away on a match that has no championship implications?! "Don't Cha" hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client. Amelia Williams: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond! Bob Sinclair: Diamond with an excellent chance to quiet the naysayers here with a win in this bout, Frankie. Frankie Garnett: I don't think so, Bob. If she wins this, it'll be "she took advantage of a criminally weakened opponent." Hell, that's the first thing most people would think of! Diamond blocked the Punch.

He's proven himself able to win in tough situations; can he do it again tonight? Frankie Garnett: If he doesn't lose his head, quite possibly. Though since this isn't for the League Championship, it's not like he's going to choke the title away here.... "You're the Best" blasts from the arena speakers as The League's lone Samoan emerges from the back, staring a hole through the ring as if by doing so, he can change it to his preferred medium of a martial arts mat. As he gets to ringside, he quickly lashes out and kicks the top half of the steel steps off the bottom half, snarling as he slides into the ring and stands motionless, waiting for the bell to sound.

Being too stupid to stay out of the ring and recover after the beating he took last night? Hell, no! Kid's got a lot to learn if he wants to stay an active wrestler! LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH The Phoenix (13-5, 39%) vs. Johnny Triumph (15-3, 42%) The lights in the arena go out, bringing the live crowd to their feet as the darkness continues to stretch on for a few seconds. A spotlight illuminates part of the stage, showing a man standing in front of a keyboard. Some of the live feeds start cheering, recognizing the figure of Martjin Spierenburg. Reaching to the keyboard, he plays the opening notes to drawing a cheer from the live audience. As the lone instrumental proceeds into full band participation, one side of the stage lights up, showing that the majority of Within Temptation is onstage. From the main entryway, the Alpha Division champion emerges with Tori Montgomery on one arm and the lead singer of the band, Sharon den Adel, on the other. Ms. den Adel walks up to the microphone to begin the vocal part of the song as The Phoenix turns towards the ring, the determined look on his face saying everything. As he gets to the ring, he slides under the bottom rope, coming to his feet with a war cry as the refrain of the song hits. He stalks to his corner, shadowboxing against the turnbuckles as he prepares for this chance at glory. Frankie Garnett: Now how the hell is that fair to his opponent? He's making his opponent wait for this stupid musical interlude to be done! Bob Sinclair: No rule saying Triumph can't do the same, Frankie. Besides, this is the biggest match of the season; you don't see the same old thing at the Super Bowl, do you? Frankie Garnett: I suppose not.... As Within Temptation finishes their piece, the opposite side of the stage lights up, revealing another band waiting to perform. This band is recognizable almost on sight (as fans are quick to erupt in ovation), as Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, and Lars Ulrich lay down the opening to to a thunderous ovation. In the front of the band are James Hetfield and the Omega Division champion, and as the song kicks into full gear, Johnny Triumph leaves Metallica to do their thing, taking a slow walk to the ring in order to make his opponent wait as long as possible. To the live crowd's delight, a shower of golden glitter falls from the arena roof as Triumph enters the ring, looking at ease as a former League Champion should be. Metallica's performance comes to an end amidst a roaring ovation as Triumph stares across the ring at his opponent. Frankie Garnett: How much money did he have to pay to get freaking Metallica here?! Bob Sinclair: Triumph showing that he's not going to be intimidated, Frankie. He's been here before, after all; he knows the pressure of this match. Frankie Garnett: Which is why he'll become a two-time champion, Bob. Calling it right now! DING! DING! DING! Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our main event of the evening. This bout is sanctioned by The League under authority of Commissioner Colt Marshall, and by the South African Board of Sporting Events. When the bell sounds to start this match, the third man in the ring will be referee Jacob Smalls. And now, ladies and gentlemen... IT'S TIME! This bout is scheduled for the best two out of three falls, and is for the Season Five League Championship! Amelia can certainly do a passable Bruce Buffer imitation, as the fans erupt in cheers. Amelia Williams: And now, the participants...introducing first, fighting out of the corner to my left, wearing the red trunks with gold trim. He is a submission specialist, a League Original, and one of only four men to have held the honor of being a League Champion. He comes in tonight with a career League record of forty-nine wins and only twenty-five losses, and weighs in tonight at 228 pounds. Fighting out of Des Moines, Iowa, ladies and gentlemen, the reigning Omega Division champion...JOHNNY TRIUMPH! The US Tri-State feed, airing from Madison Square Garden, erupts the loudest as Triumph smirks at his opponent across the ring, making no attempt to hide that he feels this is his night to prevail once again. DING! DING! DING! Amelia Williams: His opponent, fighting out of the corner to my right, wearing black jean shorts and the black shirt with flame trim, and joined at ringside by his manager, Tori Montgomery...he is a League Original, a technical wrestler despite his size, and currently the only person in League history to have won Tag Team Turmoil on two separate occasions. He enters the ring tonight with a career League record of forty-four wins and thirty losses, and weighs in at 336 and ½ pounds. Fighting out of the End of Nowhere by way of Baltimore, Maryland, presenting the reigning Alpha Division champion, and one-half of the reigning Tag Team Turmoil champions...he is THE PHOENIX! The Mid Atlantic US feed erupts, as a capacity crowd has filled the 1st Mariner Arena to watch their hometown hero square off. The beginnings of White Stripe's "Seven Nation Army" can be heard from that feed, bringing a brief smile to Phoenix's face. The referee calls both men to the center of the ring, going over last-second instructions and reminders of the rules of this match. The crowd starts to get louder, the anticipation building...and finally the bell sounds to get this championship match underway! Bob Sinclair: And here we go! Frankie Garnett: Get him, Johnny!

Bob Sinclair tries to respond, but the arena is too loud for him to be heard, as the MSG crowd tries to drown the Seven Nation Army chant out with jeers. Johnny Triumph slipped out of the Slingshot Suplex. The Forearm Strike Flurry was countered into a Punch. Sweet mother of mercy! The Phoenix delivers Lacrymosa to Johnny Triumph!

The Phoenix is finally atop the mountain! Frankie Garnett: This has to be a nightmare. It has to be...! It is to Frankie Garnett's despairing plea for sanity, and Phoenix standing in the center of the ring holding two belts aloft in the air, that the camera fades to black on this, the fifth season in the history of The League. <hr> Season Five is now over.

I appreciate it buddy. @Survive_The_Sting! @III You have no one to blame but yourself. I told you not to provoke me but you did just that. @Survive_The_Sting! @III You think I was going to take your little pizza gag lying down? Hell no! I am the world champion and I will not be disrespected like that. Like I said you brought what happened upon yourself. #ScorpionIsGod #Champ @Survive_The_Sting! @III You don't want The League offices to punish me. They weren't going to anyways. They have sided with me. I warned you and you didn't heed the warning so you are at fault. Besides my chaos creates ratings and The League loves it. @Survive_The_Sting! @III More things change more they stay the same. A new mask won't give you the ability to beat me. @Survive_The_Sting! @III So instead of Pizza Mask you will be calling yourself Owl Man and claim to be from The Court of Owls???? Man, expect a lawsuit from DC soon. @Survive_The_Sting! @Tori_Montgomery Something should be done to prevent me from affecting the playoffs? I did nothing wrong, I was attacked by @III first. @Survive_The_Sting! @Tori_Montgomery Besides if I had started it what is the Commish going to do??? That's right, not a damn thing. @Survive_The_Sting! @GloriousRequiem I'm not even going to congratulate you on your win. You're "League Championship" is nothing but a paper championship because you only beat one person to win it. Unlike your tag team partner, who carried you to that championship by the way, fought his way through a tournament of people to claim the real "League Championship!"

Derek B Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Ah Nuclear... he's so good at not quite being good enough. Expect a promo from him over the weekend to explain the rumours going around about him filing paperwork for a new manager. Should be interesting to see how it works out. Also, I'm the most awesome at predicting things! SF, I'll fire you a message about divisions and stuff later if I remember... I've got an idea that might be interesting but it would require very specific numbers and I'm not sure it would work out. Might be fun though, so I guess we'll see how it goes.

ShadowedFlames Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Pages for everyone have been updated to add in prediction winnings, free points for those who qualify (everyone but Psycho Sam, as he's a new entrant), and Wrestling Spirit points for those who wrestled in the playoffs. For those who sent in training PM's before this update was done, I have not taken them into account due to the added cash and (in some cases) more than expected free points. You may wish to adjust your plans accordingly. I will post this in the discussion thread as well to cover all bases. Psycho Sam, the link to your character's sheet has been PM'd to you; check your inbox for details. NOTE FOR ALL RETURNING VETERANS: As I have resumed full backstage duties (page editing), please send all training PM's only to me.

OctoberRaven Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I was going to post a promo similar to this later, but I go inspired so... III's twitter account links to a YouTube video... III is sitting in the locker room of a gym. "I have not addressed what I said when I remarked that The Bird may need to protect The Clown from me. This is because I had to do so in a way that made the typical one-hundred-forty characters too cumbersome." III holds up a picture to the screen. "This is a leg with a staph infection. There are multiple ways to contract one, but one of the most insidious ways is when bacteria from food, harmless to ingest, comes into contact with exposed blood vessels. While it usually appens with raw meat, it has been known to happen even with well prepared meat. And, rarely, in cheeses." "If you had attacked me any other way, Clown, I would just make you pay later and that would be the end of it. But you had to shove food, food with meat in it, food with cheeses in it, into an open and bleeding cut." "Staph infections, not treated immediately, can be lethal. Even when just on a leg as illustrated in this photograph. When close to a vital organ, like the heart, or the brain, that chance of lethality becomes exponentially more serious. Even to athletes. A few years ago, a wrestler, "No Gimmicks" Chris Escondido, in the prime of his life, died due to complications from an improperly treated staph infection." "In words that even the Clown can understand... he could have killed me." "And that is why I have to end him. Because his immorality has gone too far. Probably farther than even he wants. Due to his petty inferiority complex, he has become a rabid beast, a threat to the lives of all around him. He must be put down." "So when the time comes, and I put the Owl's Death Grip on The Clown... no matter what happens, I cannot let go. If he grabs the ropes. If he taps out. If I am disqualified. I will not let go. If he finally shows a shred of human decency, and apologizes for potentially killing me? I will not let go. When I feel his tibia disconnecting from his patella, beyond the point of repair, I will not let go. While he is screaming from an agony so painful he can't pass out from it, I will not let go." "The only way I will be removed is from people forcing me off him. Maybe the Viking. Maybe the Scottish Lady. Maybe even the Bird." "The Clown. Scott Stevens. Must be ended."

Jman2k3 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Twitternet. @Survive_The_Sting! Woohoo!!! Tonight football season starts. The Texans better not draft stupid. @Survive_The_Sting! @III You caught a staph infection from your own pizza??? You need to call the health inspector about that. @Survive_The_Sting! @III Good thing you didn't catch the staph infection in Cleveland. Athletes are known to catch serious staph infections there. Isn't that right Browns fans. Lol. :-p @Survive_The_Sting! @III You catching a staph infection from your own pizza is your own fault. It's not my problem your pizza oven is crawling with disease. Also if you hadn't delivered that special pizza for me as a joke I more than likely wouldn't have attacked you. You ever think of that? You brought all these woes onto yourself. @Survive_The_Sting! @III Oh the wrestler you mentioned, "No Gimmicks" Chris Escondido, died from a blood clot and not a staph infection. Two different things. Thought I would educate you a bit. @Survive_The_Sting! @III You think I wanted to kill you??? Heavens no. Why would I want to kill you when I can get great joy and satisfaction by making you suffer. @Survive_The_Sting! @III Good luck with trying to destroy my knee. I've had so many surgeries on them you won't do no damage. @Survive_The_Sting! @III All I can say is frak Thor, frak @Diamond_rocks.....oh wait I have. Lol. And frak @GloriousRequiem they cannot save your ass from me. @Survive_The_Sting! @III You keep pushing and pushing and you will soon come face to face with my more violent side that I haven't brought out in a long time. I can only describe it as a combustible mixture of Joseph Kerr and Cletus Kassidy. @Survive_The_Sting! @III Since you fear staph infections you will really fear the Toxic Shock Syndrome that awaits you.

OctoberRaven Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 @III Survive_The_Sting! The bacteria family that causes staph infections include species that are harmless when ingested. And also cause blood clots. @III And your knee was surgically repaired? Good to know, that'll actually make it easier to break. @III I knew school standards in Texas were bad, but I didn't know they completely cut ninth grade biology.

Psycho Sam Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Very old reply Lastly... predictions! Don't let me win again or I'll set up a new schedule that will see Nuclear go against whoever finishes last this season in every week whlie everyone else will be forced to fight in first blood matches all season. I'm sure that's within my power. I presume you are now talking bout Scott Stevens? Dante's left the League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman2k3 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Twitternet. @Survive_The_Sting! @CoachRobertGreene Well when you are the megastar of The League people love to hate you and wait in line to try and beat you up. @Survive_The_Sting! @CoachRobertGreene I'm already a rich man and I keep getting richer everyday. You see people pay to see me wrestle whether they love me or hate me. It happens when you are the best in the world like I am. Hell, I just celebrated 20 years in the business this past January when I turned 36. #BestInWorld @Survive_The_Sting! @CoachRobertGreene I need to correct you on one thing. There are only two recognized world champions in this company, myself and the real champion Nuclear. @GloriousRequiem "supposed" reign and title isn't worth two shits. #RealChamp #Champ #ScorpionIsGod @Survive_The_Sting! @CoachRobertGreene I must thank this Derek B kid because he just secured my guaranteed playoff spot. @Survive_The_Sting! @CoachRobertGreene In terms I'm sure you are familiar with, I'm batting a 1,000 against @III. He cannot beat me and he never will. Not only will I sweep him but I will go on and become the undisputed world champion of The League. @Survive_The_Sting! @CoachRobertGreene I'll give you the same warning I give every manager. You get in my way when I face Templeton I will hurt you. @Survive_The_Sting! @The1AndOnlyFlogg Where you be homie?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OctoberRaven Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 @III- The Season Three Champion didn't think he could lose to me. The Viking didn't think I'd be able to knock him out with a kick. I have a track record of crushing hubris. @III- I'm the only one in the League who didn't have a pro career before joining the League. But the Clown will be the only person who won't have a career after Season Six. @III- Before joining the League, I had gotten in a car accident. I spent following two months in a wheel chair. I played soccer in high school, and that year the team made it to the state finals. And I had to watch from the stands. @III- I should have been happy for my friends, but I had never been more miserable in my entire life. I felt absolutely helpless. @III- My advice to you, Clown, is to take a lot of walks. Go swimming, or whatever other excersizes you do. Because by the end of this season, you will never get to do those things again. @III- Your undending misery will be my legacy. And, like all things, your career will end in III #RuleOfIII #OwlsDeathGrip Twits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman2k3 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Twitternet. @Survive_The_Sting! @Psycho_Sam_BBW This world champion is going to enjoy making you bleed and scream for mercy. #IBringThePain #Champ @Survive_The_Sting! @III The Season Three Champion is a has been and The Viking is a never was. @Survive_The_Sting! @III And your point is? A lot of people weren't pro wrestlers before joining The League. Sounds like your using that as an excuse for all the ass kickings I've put on you. @Survive_The_Sting! @III Awwww. Your story almost brings me to tear....almost. That car accident was probably the best thing that could have happened to your soccer team. You see they let go of the "dead-weight" with you on the sidelines not holding them back anymore. @Survive_The_Sting! @III You're going to feel helpless again if you keep pushing me. @Survive_The_Sting! @III Meaningless threats from a joke who can't even get a victory over the greatest wrestler alive and of all time. #ScorpionIsGod @Survive_The_Sting! @III The only thing in life that has a #RuleOfIII is Death, Taxes, and Not ****ing With The Scorpion!!!!

Psycho Sam Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Psycho Sam's Youtube League vLOG Tweets for Glory @Psycho_Sam_BBW: Started a Youtube vLOG. Check out Episode 1. I get to debut 'The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment' as my manager, put in my predictions for who's going to win AND debut my theme song @Psycho_Sam_BBW: And also talk trash about @Survive_The_Sting! Psycho Sam’s League Vlog Psycho Sam walks in front of the video camera, situated in a training room full of weights and dummies and weapons Psycho Sam: Good afternoon, everyone and welcome to my Vlog of The League, covering my thoughts and predictions. Psycho Sam: Today, I’ve finalized a contract to bring one of the BEST managers around, who we’ll see later tonight. But first, I will cover two other things: My theme song and my predictions on who’s going to win their pairings. Psycho Sam: First, my theme song is found here -> Psycho Sam: This would be from a game about a company who was in their prime at that time the game (WWF Smackdown! 2) was made. It will loop as it is short and I am NOT going to break a world record for the shortest time to get to the ring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psycho Sam: Now, on to predictions. I choose who will win the pairing, which Derek B has set up. I would say it is very good. The only downside is that I’m not facing Scott Stevens. The Phoenix vs. Benjamin T. Stanton Jr: Despite what some people (Scott Stevens) may think, The Phoenix isn’t the League champion for nothing. Beating Triumph in the finals, I can almost assure you that he will win this pairing. However, Stanton is known as an ‘Upset Specialist’, going into the tournament finals after a few brutal chair shots by Maxx Skabb, who he beat in the quarter finals. Close match, but the champion will win, and go into the playoffs.Without furder ado, my pick is.... Psycho Sam’s pick: The Phoenix (2-1) Psycho Sam (me) vs. Tarik Nolan: Tarik Nolan was very inconsistent, with him being around nearly .500 or at .500. The only time he broke that was in Season 2, as a part of the Gamma Division’s ‘Big Three’. But, I am unknown. Evenly matched, but why would I not pick myself? Psycho Sam’s pick: Psycho Sam(2-1) Jack Lightning vs. Ian Carlisle: Both aren’t known for their wins. They are more known for their entertainment. Carlisle fared better... Psycho Sam’s pick: Ian Carlisle (2-1) Johnny Triumph vs. Eidenhoek Gaiuspade: Triumph was the Season 2 League champion, as well as the champion in the Omega division, losing to The Phoenix in the championship finals. I can see Triumph winning. Eidenhoek Gaiuspade (please god I get that right) hasn’t achieved the same type of record as Triumph. SQUASH (Psycho Sam’s pick: Johnny Triumph (3-0) Thor Hammerskald vs. Master Imoka: With Frankie being a ****ty manager, Thor may do better. But with Imoka winning the consolation finals, Thor will have a tough competition. I will choose Thor, as without Frankie, he will do at least twice as better. Psycho Sam’s pick: Thor Hammerskald (2-1) Ly Quang Bao vs. Diamond: Diamond is the League veteran, but Bao has been in PGHW, one of the top puro companies of Japan. Bao has more experience, but Diamond is fresher. Going with Diamond here. Psycho Sam’s pick: Diamond (2-1) Scott Stevens vs. Pizza Mask III: Scott Stevens finished at the bottom of his division. Pizza Mask III will win here. I would put it at 2-1, but since Stevens *****ed on BBW about the finish to a Flaming Table match... Psycho Sam’s pick: Pizza Mask III (3-0) Nuclear Templeton vs. Sebastian Moore: Templeton won the tournament. Moore hasn’t done anything spectacular. Going with Templeton: Psycho Sam’s pick: Nuclear Templeton (3-0) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psycho Sam: So that does it for the pairings. My final thing is to introduce my manager... ‘The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment’... THE ROCK!!! The Rock: FINALLY! THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO... *batteries die down* Psycho Sam: WHAT THE HELL! WHY THE **** IS THIS NOT ****ING WORKING! Cameraman: The batteries have died down. Psycho Sam: WHAT! GET NEW BATTERIES FOR THE CASSETTE RECORDER THAT I STOLE FROM A HOMELESS Man.... ****! I’ve said too much. Cameraman: Your problem, then. Psycho Sam: Can I start over? Cameraman: No... Psycho Sam: WHY THE **** CAN’T I START OVER!!! IT’S A ****ING YOUTUBE VIDEO! IT’S NOT LIKE WE’RE RECORDING IT LIVE! Cameraman: We ARE live... Psycho Sam: WHY THE **** DIDN’T YOU TELL ME THIS!!! TAKE THIS, *****! *smashes cameraman with cassette recorder and takes the camera* Psycho Sam: So, due to some ****ty cameraman not telling me that this was going to be live... *stomps on the cameraman*, I shall show you my manager... The Rock! The Rock comes in. He is not ‘The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment’, he is a tall guy with rocks covering himself. He is deaf. Psycho Sam: The Rock is my manager. He will kill you if you anger me, talk **** about my promotion, Big Battle Wrestling, or anger my friends, as I shall demonstrate... Psycho Sam grabs a few rocks from The Rock and shoves it down the cameraman’s mouth. Psycho Sam: And that’s all the time we have for. So, until next time... see you later... NEXT TIME: The debut of our new cameraman Predictions for week 1 Unusual weapons in a match Superstar Review: Tarik Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
