North Of The Border Championship Wrestling

tobin834 · January 11, 2012

This is the place where I will eventually put up all of the title histories, etc. I started with the card before describing who everyone is. This is part of the C-Verse. I'm also not sure if I'm missing a huge story or way of doing things, but I just made the characters into who I think they are based on bio and looks.

All comments appreciated.

Notbpw Week 1

INTRODUCTION

After repeated attempts at working on wrestling dynasty's (including one who's name is the same as this one), I have decided that it wasn't the lack of trying, or the lack of time spent on the project that had me continuously being late on deadlines. As stupid as it sounds, it was the added challenge for me to use their gimmicks in ways that other people would be able to relate to them. I had to keep some sense of realism and where that is good, I don't watch professional wrestling anymore on the national level. I just watch indies – which makes it hard to really relate to anyone on a national or global level with the talent. I don't know the catchphrases of the national talent anymore and have grown tired trying.

That being said, I am starting one here. I know, I've tried several times and I know I am getting annoying. I don't expect anyone to follow along, but for those who do – these wrestlers will be what I see them as. It's why I picked the C-verse to do this in and why I now understand why many other people do as well. I hope you enjoy.

NORTH OF THE BORDER PRO WRESTLING

HISTORY

North of the Border Pro Wrestling (NOTBPW) was created by Dan Stone back in 1985 and almost instantly became the biggest promotion in Canada. Operating out of the Maritimes of Canada, the company had been very successful in their home country which led many Canadian's to feel like Stone should go for the juggular and attempt to be the dominant company in North America.

He didn't.

A move that had many people believing that Dan Stone was content with the direction of NOTBPW and would never allow the promotion to rise to the height of what many hardcore fans of the company thought it could be. A move that made some fans jump to the SWF programming out of spite of the promotion apparently not believing in themselves as much as they asked their fans to.

Enter Travis Thomas, a business investor from the United States who was more then happy to jump at the opportunity to move to Canada and purchase NOTBPW when issued the chance. With Thomas' arrival, the promotion got a little jolt of excitement with the plans of all new everything. The storylines had ended in December for the calendar year, and it was a fresh start for Thomas.

This journal follows the Dynasty of North of the Border Pro Wrestling, a company that Travis Thomas who claims to bring a new day to a promotion with a lot of talent in it's ring and a newly found sense of inspiration and swagger in it's walk.

This is the journal of NOTBPW, apart of the C-Verse.

Live on CBN, Wednesday's at 8pm

Caribou Arena – Maritimes Canada

Attendance: 4.601

Preview

What a night this is bound to be for North of the Border Pro Wrestling. EVERYTHING gets started again. After months of haitus, vacant champions and the rumor (and eventual confirmation) of an impending sale, NOTBPW gets off the ground again in a rather strong way. This show is set to crown new NOTBPW World Tag Team Champions, and let us know who will be vying for the coveted Canadian Championship, the top championship in NOTBPW. This and so much more, so without any further ado.. welcome to your new North of the Border Pro Wrestling!

Steve DeColt is Tired

The show starts off with Dan Stone Jr's music hitting over the PA system at Caribou Arena and we are off to a brand new NOTBPW. The son of legendary wrestler Dan Stone walks down as Junior is a spitting image of his father at his age. Since Dan Stone Sr's retirement from the business he has let a few fellow un-named investors take over the daily operations, and left his son Dan Stone Jr to work with his brothers and the rest of the family.

Stone Jr. walks down with a microphone and hops in the ring.

Alright, so I don't want to take a lot of time right now but I just wanted to say thank you to my father Dan Stone Sr. As I'm sure you've all heard by now via the Internet websites, NOTBPW was sold and my father Dan Stone Sr. has decided to retire from this business and go on to the next challenges in his life. I just wanted to come out and thank him for everything he has done for me, this business, and North of the Border Professional Wres-

Just then the sound of Steve DeColt plays and out walks the former CGC Icon and currently one of the most debated and hated men in NOTBPW. As he walks out cockily he enters the ring where Dan Stone is just waiting patiently to what he might end up saying.

You know Danny boy, I think we've all heard enough of you thanking your father and kissing his ass. We all know your father is one of the most overrated professional wrestlers of all time, and this company he built is half-rate. The only reason I am even in this building and allowing this company to pay me is because the powers that be at CGC decided they couldn't handle my apparent “attitude”. Then I come here and get hated on for the exact reasons I was loved at CGC and beyond all of that Danny – beyond all of that – the thing I still hate the most is the sound of your voice. Your out here thanking a man who passed you over. Don't you think if he thought anything of you at all he would have given you control of the company?

The crowd begins to boo DeColt as he walks cockily around the ring. Dan Stone Jr then decided to speak.

You finished? The reason I am out here is to pay respect to someone who earns it in this business there Steve. A custom to your not used to seeing because your not a professional. I know why you're out here and it's not going to work. I know there is a legit hatred there, so if you want a piece of me then I suggest you make a move.

Just then DeColt and Stone Jr are brawling as referee's rush into the ring to break up the may lay. The two brawl to the back until they are not see and the camera pans to the ring.

Erik Strong vs. Flash

Erik Strong has been heralded as the future of this company on more then on occasion by more then a few people. He went along ways tonight by defeating one of our enhancement wrestlers Flash in very convincing fashion. Strong moved faster, had better in-ring psychology, and generally looked more comfortable then the rookie Flash. Flash on the other hand had a very tough time with Strong and isn't completely lost in the shuffle just yet. He's a new talent to the NOTBPW roster and someone who could improve. Tonight though, wasn't his night and Erik Strong looked particularly impressive.

|

Decision: Erik Strong in 9:54 with a Strong Sault.

A Little Love for Lauren

The camera takes us backstage to the dressing room of Diva Lauren Easter who is currently in the middle of searching for her hair brush. As she grows increasingly frustrated with the fact that she can't find it, she ends up giving up and pouting. She sits on the couch that is provided in her room and sits there with her elbows on her knees and her hands on her cheeks. She is wearing an incredibly sexy skirt with a halter top.

Just then a knock on the door makes Easter lift her head and tell whoever is on the other side to come in. As the door enters we see Owen Love, one half of the Can-Am Blondes walk into the room.

Hey Lauren, how are things going?

Lauren looks up with a pouty looking face and folds her arms like a little brat.

I can't find my brush and I need to go out there tonight in front of all them people and look disgusting.

Owen Love looks at Lauren who by now is obviously searching for a compliment. He looks around the room a moment to find her brush immediately, sitting on the television stand.

I found your brush Lauren. It's on the television stand. And by the way, you never look disgusting to me. You're the best looking diva we have in this promotion and it's time more people see what I see in front of me.

Lauren looks up at Owen and is gracious he has found the brush. She runs up, hugs him and kisses him on the lips which made for an awkward exchange.

Thank you hun.

Owen looks at Lauren as she turns around and rushes to the mirror like nothing happened to brush her hair. The scene fades out with a confused, and apparently lustful Owen Love shaking his head and turning around to leave.

Canadian Dragon vs. Jason O'Conner

In a fairly competitive match on the Lower-Midcard level, Jason O'Conner and the Canadian Dragon came to blows. Dragon's cruiserweight style against Jason O'Conner's technical style. In the end it was the Dragon who ended up scoring a cheap victory to maintain his stance of “by any means necessary” and O'Conner was left in the ring pounding the canvas as the result of being the latest victim of the Dragon's dubious ways.

| Decision: Canadian Dragon with a handfull of tights at 11:51

Omar Brown and Harlem Hayes vs. The Can-Am Blondes

(for the NOTBPW Tag Team Championship)

The match featured a veteran tag team in the Can-Am Blondes and a newly formed team in Omar Brown and Harlem Hayes, who just last week decided to get out of singles competition and team up together to create some noice in the tag-team division. A smart career move for both, although the Can-Am Blondes have The Natural, and Owen Love – two well respected wrestlers in their own right. Towards the end of the match Brown had Owen Love just where he wanted him and was ready to finish him off as The Natural and Harlem Hayes were brawling in the crowd after the match got quite out of hand. As Brown is holding Love in a facelock setting up for his finisher, Lauren Easter came running out to throw sand in the face of Brown who immediately held his eyes. A distracted referee on the outside had his back turned to the entire thing, and in usual fashion came to notice there was action going on in the ring right in time for Owen Love to score a rollup victory over Harlem Hayes and crown the Can-Am Blondes the new NOTBPW Tag Team Champions as they celebrated with Lauren Easter in the middle of the ring. Only time will tell if there is something between Owen Love and Lauren Easter, and is she their new manager? The Natural looks confused at the entire situation.

| Decision: Owen Love pinfall on Omar Brown after Lauren Easter threw sand in Brown's face. 16:40 to win the NOTBPW Tag Team Championship!

Kristabel Plum vs. Melody

Former Women's Champion Melody started this match with a short promo telling the fans after she was introduced and in the ring that this shouldn't even be a scheduled match since she was the last champion and the title was stripped from her with no regard for her not having lost a match. As she was cutting the promo she was cut off by Kristabel Plum's music. As Plum ran down to the ring, dove under the bottom rope, the bell ringer was on key and rang the bell and an immediate slug fest begin which isn't usually seen in women's wrestling. As the match went on it provided a lot of athletic moves and good spots. In the end it was Kristabel Plum who would go on to win the match and win the Women's Championship marking her first time as champion.

| Decision: Kristabel Plum scored a clean pinfall after a Plum Tucker at 12:44 to become the new NOTBPW Women's Champion

Victoria Stone's Ruling

As the match ends the cameras cut back to the office of Victoria Stone. Stone is sitting there making sure everyone is doing what they need to be on the production team and everything is generally running smooth. All of a sudden Steve DeColt walks into the picture. Victoria sees him walk up on her, looks at him and says..

Can I help you Steve?

Steve DeColt looks very angry at what had happened earlier between him and Dan Stone Jr. Decolt then smirks, looks up and says:

You know Victoria, coming to you is probably a waste of my time. I've got a problem with your brother and I need it solved immediately because I'll be damned if he comes off as the good guy when he is someone who..

Victoria begins shaking her head and cuts off Steve:

Steve, you hate it here. Let's admit that. You don't like working for North of the Border Pro Wrestling because you'd rather be in the SWF and in America. We understand your position – although it makes no sense – we do our best to understand it. Professionally I have no problem with you Steve so here is what I'm going to do. You want to take out my family so bad. Why don't I send Dan Jr and my brother Jeremy out there to tag against you tonight and hmm, let me see who should your opponent be?...

Victoria begins tapping her chin with her index finger:

Johnny Bloodstone.

Steve DeColt looks at Victoria and thanks her. He is going to get both of the Stone brothers AND a legit tag partner in Johnny Bloodstone tonight in an epic Main Event to start the new regime of NOTBPW. DeColt is very happy as he leaves the room and Victoria shakes her head and continues handling the production like nothing happened.

Dan Stone Jr Responds

The camera's cut to Dan Stone Jr who is with colour commentator Tom Townsend. Townsend tells Stone Jr of the news as he was originally just going to talk about what happened earlier. The segment wasn't much of a Q and A as it was Dan Stone yelling wildly into the camera:

Steve DeColt. Steven effen DeColt. You know you come into this promotion and you talk your game like we're supposed to somehow care you've been in the SWF. I've gotten multiple offers from those guys and turned down everyone of them and you know why? Because I don't put money and greed over family Steve DeColt. HOW you're an icon ANYWHERE is beyond me after the crap you just displayed out there in that ring. My Father built Canadian Pro Wrestling, and the least you can do is give me a few minutes to go out there and honor his legacy. Honor what he has done and sacraficed for so many. But you'd never know anything about that Steve DeColt. You'd know nothing of being there for someone, or the trust or loyalty it takes to have an amazing family. All you know is lonliness. All you know is greed. All you know is how to look out for yourself. It's a cold and lonely world Steve DeColt, and you're about to find out in a matter of a few short seconds.

Dan Stone Jr & Jeremy Stone vs. Johnny Bloodstone and Steve DeColt

Hardcore Tag Team Match

As the bell sounds we hear the announcer let everyone know that this match has been changed to a Hardcore Tag Team Title Match. No DQ and no count outs. As the fans screamed the Stone Brothers came to the ring more excited and amped up then before. Jeremy obviously feeding off of Dan Jr's excitement. As Bloodstone and DeColt came out everyone threw garbage at them. Canadian fans are really sensitive to ball busting from someone who used to work with another promotion. As the match went through everyone was getting beat with senseless objects that many people wondered how they even got there. Garbage cans, surfboards, everything that NOTBPW fans were not expected to see and quite honestly very shocked both surprised and horrified. In the end Dan Stone got the pin on Johnny Bloodstone which prompted the place to go insane, Steve DeColt to kick the bottom rope and throw a temper tantrum on more then one occasion, and point at Dan Jr as if to remind him that there will be another day.

|Decision: Dan Stone Jr pinned Johnny Blodstone at 40:14 to win a marathon of a Hardcore match.

The Show Goes Off The Air

NOTBPW WEEKLY WRAP-UP

Your official NOTBPW Source

What a debut show at the Caribou Arena last Wednesday in Maritimes, Canada. I knew there was tension between Steve DeColt and Dan Stone Jr. Quite frankly everyone at NOTBPW knew that there was tension but I didn't think any of us predicted what we seen from Steve DeColt Wednesday. DeColt's actions insulted everyone in the back who has been with this promotion, and who was hired by the ever so humble Dan Stone Sr. DeColt decided to run his mouth and it ended up costing him later on that night in an epic Hardcore battle that lasted over forty minutes!

* In other news, I am not quite sure what is up with Owen Love and Lauren Easter. My sources have told me that they've been sneaking off with one another in the back, but I have yet to see this happen. I caught up with Love's partner The Natural, who told me that he was happy to be a Tag Team Champion but he had no idea where Owen Love had went since winning them, or better yet what Lauren Easter was doing there to help them win the titles. He assumed he was with her, didn't seem angry or irritated, and just was generally puzzled as to where they were.

* The Women's Division is also heating up and oh boy how mad was Melody after losing her chance to reclaim her title. Look, on one hand I totally get why Melody was so angry, but why did she let that trip her up. Everytime she would have defended that title, her status as champion would be in limbo until a winner was decided. Why she let that trip her up is beyond me, but it tells us that Kristabel Plum was as ready as the hype said she was. I think Plum will be a good champion if she can fend off the oncoming challenges of Melody, who still thinks she deserves another shot at what she is calling “rightfully her's.”

* North of the Border Pro Wrestling is under new ownership and we knew this news would shake it up. Why did Victoria Stone put her brothers in a Hardcore Tag Team match out of all of the matches she could have selected. She didn't seem to flinch when she made the match either. She couldn't be bothered with her father's retirement praise by her brother, and seemed generally put off by the whole fiasco. Maybe it was her way of putting a quick fix on a problem she didn't want to have.

* North of the Border Pro Wrestling drew a .97 rating which means that it was seen in over 970,000 households across Canada.

* SWF announced that they have struck a deal with Canada 1-Choice PPV to carry the PPV's in Canada from now on. This means their popularity is going to increase throughout the country. It's also the first sign that SWF is interested in the country of Canada and promoting shows there on a bigger scale.
