Guest Booker Legacy: The Pro Wrestling Integrity of Shane Allman

Phantom Stranger · October 23, 2012

For a second, I felt like I had been caught. But, I checked it out and it's all good. It will only ruin a little part of the story. If it were a spoiler, it might make the Mean Gene 900 number hotline, but I bet you'd be upset if you paid for it and then saw the show play out.

I will admit that I'm also not 100% confident events will unfold as I expect. But it did give me some idea what was going on.

And really, the story you lay out there is only just beginning, n'est-ce pas?

Isn't that the truth.

It only took me twenty shows to get to my jump off point.

I've never been one for brevity.

Well, I can't talk.

And I feel like the build at this pace has been necessary.

Shutout28 · October 30, 2012

I cannot wait for how this turns out. I'm pumped for this event

Hashasheen · October 30, 2012

I foresee PWSUX winning, shutting down PWI (though how this works in game I don't know. Perhaps NoNeck's bought PWSUX in-game and is merging the two ala his USPW/PWC story?) and resulting in absolute chaos, an area which NoNeck's booking has traditionally thrived.

Midnightnick · October 30, 2012

I am so amped. So amped for this, it's blowing my mind.

sebsplex · November 15, 2012

Anybody still reading? Getting tumbleweed lonely in here lately.

I've been wrapped up in other things and fallen behind, but I'm still here and reading away. I'm yet to get through all the build, but my anticipation for Gorebrawl is already picking up.

Hoping the lull i posts means epicness is on the way.

That's precisely what it means, Sebsplex.

I'm just trying to get it exactly right. Lots of post show stuff that ties in, as well.

I'd expect it over the weekend or Monday at the latest, if I were a betting man.

Show #20

GOREBRAWL

Live on PPV from the Shatnerstein Ballroom in NYC

Week 4, April 2012

The air is heavy inside the sold out Shatnerstein Ballroom with two company's fates hanging in the balance.

The fan sections are split right down the middle. With each company handling the promotion and sales for their side of the building, there is no home field advantage for either side. And yet, the rabid volume from the PWI fans is evenly matched by the audacity and fist pumping chants of the PWSUX faithful at every turn.

The camera’s pan shows how distinct the lines have been drawn: there are separate entrances on opposite sides on the building, with both sides done up as each promotion would do it. On the PWI side, the standard red and black curtains and the bigger than the norm steel rigging outlined entranceway give way to a raised ramp that leads, fans’ head level, to the ring.

In stark contrast, the PWSuX set is a shabby brick background with several lights that would be better suited for an eighties hair band’s touring kit, yet the camera work when it is shown makes it look like a million bucks.

“It is the most important night in the history of two promotions. Tonight, PWI and PWSUX will battle for their very survival inside of the massive weapons filled dome that is GOREBRAWL.”

<a href="

http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/?action=view&current=DaveCarrasco.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/DaveCarrasco.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/?action=view&current=JanuaryKyle.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/JanuaryKyle.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Dave Carrasco and January Kyle sit in a box in the corner on the second level, between the PWI balcony sections. Both have eschewed their typical pay-per-view attire (tux and little black dress, accordingly)and are wearing PWI garb, Carrsaco-a t-shirt under his black suit jacket and Kyle- a large t-shirt slit up the side and tied off like a short skirt.

Before they can get any further…..

The Brooklyn Bully comes down the PWSuX aisle with a microphone in hand. His hat is turned backward and his expression stern; you can almost see the steam coming out of his ears as he starts speaking, stopping to yell at a PWI ringside fan on his way into focus.

“LOOK HERE!”

His catchphrase. It draws a pop from the still standing PWSUX fans.

“I don’t think we should have to wait to get this thing between PWI…..”

Half the crowd boos. Half the crowd cheers.

“….and PWSuX…..”

The other half, and the other half, you get the picture.

“I think we should get it started….”

“Right.

“F*cking.”

“Now.”

“Who is back there that wants to fight me? Who wants to be the first PWI casualty of the evening?”

Brooklyn Bully vs. Jay Paro

When Jay Paro’s music hits and he comes flying down the ramp, the PWI fans are not sure what to think. But when he shoots himself over the top rope and tackles Brooklyn Bully to the canvas, letting punches rain down on him as a referee calls for the bell, the ringside fans get behind him in their usual chant-heavy fashion.

DC: “You know, this is not the guy I thought that would come running out of the back to defend PWI’s honor.”

JK: “He’s not even the one I would choose if we were picking between Paro’s, Dave. Never saw him coming.”

Paro keeps his run going with a steady flow of punches and kicks, but when the angry Bully manages to get back to his feet, he gets a taste of his own medicine. The PWSUX menace reverses a whip into the buckles and flings Paro in so hard, he goes head over heels over the post and onto the floor.

Bully yells at the PWI side again and lets Paro climb back into the ring, eating a forearm in the face for his mistake. Paro uses the window to reignite his offense and never turns back, rana-ing Bully over onto his head twice before letting him wobble around and fall into place for his magnificent late swanton.

DC: “How about this? Jay Paro’s on the verge….”

He lifts Bully off of the mat and turns him over, setting him up for a second before spiking him onto his crown with his new spinning tombstone piledriver. The count is slow and could go on forever.

DC: “Since he’s quit hanging his head and put his thing with his brother way, way behind him, Jay Paro has put his name among the top wrestlers in PWI. What a story.”

JK: “I’d have to agree. He’s doing everything right and coming to PWI’s aid tonight only adds to the things he’s got going in his favor.”

Backstage, Vance Cole stands by an open set of double doors, smoking a cigarette and holding his phone, obviously waiting for something….or someone.

Cameras shoot backstage where a parking valet stands over Crazy Jack who is laying on the pavement twisted awkwardly and bleeding everywhere. The valet is going nuts, yelling to the arriving security with two handfuls of his hair.

“A CAR! It JUST…..DROVE UP AND……”

“HIT HIM!”

Crazy Jack is still not moving and, as paramedics are called to the scene…..

Ram Diablo and The BlackHarts make their way out of the back and survey the scene, shaking their heads. Diablo grabs the still flipping out valet by the lapel and tries to gets some information about the make of the car, but police eventually convince Diablo to release the man to them.

Shay Kinsella vs. Christian Alexander

We finally get around to our scheduled opening contest, a fast paced, kept-in-ring PPV rematch between the up and down veteran Shay Kinsella and the longtime SWA stalwart, the snarky old school heel, Christian Alexander. Kinsella does his best to stay off if his back, as Alexander seems determined to bring keep the contest on the mat, drawing catcalls and jeers from the PWSUX fans. But the blonde ponytailed Alexander is persistent and finally slows Kinsella long enough to work his legs over with a pair of spinning toe hold like moves. The tweak of his left knee is obvious; Kinsella can no longer defend himself and becomes a punching bag for Alexander who takes great joy in slowly breaking him into pieces. But as he is prone to do, Alexander gets cocky, talking to the ringside fans as he walks in to whip the heaving Kinsella across the ring into the turnbuckles.

“URBANA NATIVE!!!”

It is lightning quick and, even though he’s wobbling on a bad wheel, Kinsella drills the overconfident jackass square in the jaw with his famed superkick, rolling on top of him and hooking his leg on the way by before getting the three count.

DC: “Kinsella is back on track! I’m certain he has the TV Title in his sights!”

JK: “He’s going to need a much better effort than that one, though, to be in Silva Dolla’s league.”

<a href="

Ram Diablo paces in front of a parked van outside of the arena. JGH and Jarid Hart sit on the curb in front of him and Cross leans, disinterested, against the side of the building’s concrete stairs. No one talks, but Diablo punches number after number into his phone without anyone picking up.

He sighs.

RD: “We need a fifth. They all talked about being soldiers in this war against PWI, but where are they now?”

He punches another number in.

Suddenly.

<a href="

http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/?action=view&current=13TEEN.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/13TEEN.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

13TEEN comes sailing down the stairs behind Cross with a steel chair that he deftly tucks underneath his legs before crazily back-flipping himself toward his hated rival. It destroys Cross, who is knocked completely over and lays flat on his face beside the chair.

The BlackHarts fly over and grab hold of 13TEEN, but he is nothing but insane and pulls a spike from his boot, warding them off before he runs away, leaving Diablo, JGH, and Jarid standing over the moaning and downed Cross as he labors to get onto his knees.

Jarid, ever the dirtbag, laughs at Cross before turning to Diablo.

JH: “Might want to try to find two guys, Ram.”

But Diablo just follows 13TEEN’s shape as it cuts across the street and moves into highway traffic.

<a href="

Just up the way, Scott Hart arrives in his SUV. He pulls is up super close to one of the side talent entrances of the arena, letting someone out of the passenger side before parking. The cameras can’t quite get a decent shot of who it is before the person gets behind the covered tunnel and gets into the building.

JK: “I wonder if that was PWI’s fifth man? I couldn’t make out who Scott let out of his truck, could you?”

DC: “And I have a feeling that’s exactly how the Heavyweight Champion wanted it.”

<a href="

NFU vs. BTTITW vs. Bollywood Knights vs. Bryce Christensen/Ryan Doherty

It only takes a few minutes after the short video that precedes the introductions for this one to turn into an out of control barnburner. Four teams, including an exciting but just formed duo in Christensen and Doherty, make a hard life for an official, let alone the one youngster hired to do the job in this one.

It is chaotic from the jump.

DC: “I’m watching it on a monitor and I can’t keep track of it all. Imagine if you were standing in the middle of rush hour traffic; that’s what it’s got to feel like for that referee in there.”

The Bollywood Knights eliminate the NFU by ko-ing the still seemingly injured Anderson Peters with a double running yakuza kick, but walk headlong into a three team battle that erupts all over the ringside area. Bryce Christensen puts his stamp on things by catching Rajin Vidur blind with his huge-air flying legdrop and getting the three count, but the argument that ensues between he and Doherty leads to their downfall.

Zeke Martin somehow sneaks in behind Doherty and drops him with a sleeper driver. Bryce Christensen, instead of leveling Martin, just throws up his hands and bails out of the ring, leaving Doherty behind to get pinned by Clayton Bennett.

DC: "What was that about?"

JK: "I don't quite get it either, Dave, but man, Bryce looks great out there. Is he tanning more?"

The Van Holt Brotherhood are standing backstage, swilling back a beer each and going over their plan for GoreBrawl, when two men jump out of the shadows and level both Jesse and Martin with a ball-bat shot apiece; slipping back down the adjacent hallway afterward.

Cameras try to follow them, but they are out a side door in a flash.

Jimmy South comes frantically running up, dropping the PWI tag team title belts as he hollers for the ever busy paramedics to come help him with his fallen team.

DC: “Now look, I couldn’t see who those two were, but I’d bet money that somehow, PWSUX is involved. One of theirs went down so they put out a hit on the VHB; plain and simple.”

Seven Brandt vs. ????

Seven Brandt bounces from side to side on the balls of his feet in the ring, getting quite the nasty reception from the PWSUX fans as he waits to see who his opponent will be.

Riding in on the shoulders of the monstrous Paddy Ahearn, Rory O’Connor, the leader of the FBI (Full Blooded Irishmen) yells into a microphone, pointing toward the ring and Seven.

ROC: “Left us bar brawlers and psychos behind in the bingo hall; is that what you thought? Want to step into the wayback machine and get your ass kicked, traitor?”

Seven motions for him to climb between the ropes, not intimidated in the least. O’Conner gets dropped off on the apron and, after playing to the PWSUX side, catapults himself over the top rope, dropkicking Brandt and going on the attack.

It would prove to be the wrong move.

From the second Seven picks himself up off of the canvas, he is in control, absolutely rolling over the tough little Irishman and emptying his offensive bag. After combining a spinning over the knee backbreaker with two running elbow drops, Seven stomps the back of Rory’s head, looking to set up the cattle mutilation. But big Paddy at ringside begins trying to amble up the ring steps in an attempt to get involved. Brandt sees him in plenty of time and shoots himself through the buckles headlong into the whisky infused elephant that is Ahern and sends him careening backward onto the concrete.

O’Conner tries to grab Seven as he climbs back into the ring, but Brandt won’t have it, ramming his shoulder into the irishman’s belly and coming over the top rope with a sunset flip style roll-up that nets him a two and three quarters count. With O’Conner already in position, putting him in the cattle mutilation is very easy and within seconds the brains of the FBI is flailing about and giving up.

.

Dave Carrasco and January Kyle quickly announce the VHB will still be competing in tonight’s GoreBrawl; Vance Cole, regrettably, hasn’t heard anything at all concerning Prophecy or the missing PWI contract, and will be going with Scott Hart’s Plan B as PWI’s fifth man before....

....they are joined by Colby Felder, the beloved play-by-play guy from PWSUX. Felder bows to the PWSUX fans who bow back at him. It is nearly a whole minute before Felder can quiet them enough to put his headset on.

Suddenly.

Ethan Paro’s music hits.

And the heavyweight title contender, arrives…….

........with his leg in a brace, getting helped to ringside by an attendant, before finding a seat in the front row on the PWI side. He grimaces several times as he sort of pulls the leg into place, taking up a lot more than just his spot behind the barricade. But the fans around him are more than happy to accommodate him, cheering and high fiving each other after shaking his hand.

Meanwhile.

As they huddle together just outside a backstage door, Ram Diablo takes a huge haul off of a cigarette before flicking it into the wind and addressing the PWSUX troops.

RD: “I know this is going to be unpopular.”

The natives get restless.

RD: ‘"But f*ck being popular; I want to win. I want PWSUX to survive.”

He puts his arm around Cross.

RD: “I’d say I’m sorry…..but I’m not. You’d do the same thing in my place.”

Just then 13TEEN comes bursting through an adjacent door and charges at Cross, spike in hand. But Ram Diablo gets in his way and stops him dead in his tracks, yelling at both he and Cross.

RD: “SAVE IT FOR PWI!”

<a href="

VS.

<a href="

Scott Hart,???, VHB, and Silva Dolla vs. Cross, Diablo, JGH, Jarid Hart, and 13TEEN

-GOREBRAWL-

“It all comes down to this. One match. One chance to keep your company’s lifeblood flowing.”

The thing that is the GoreBrawl dome is lowered over the ringside area by cables and chains and hits the arena’s concrete floor with a thud that the fans can feel in their feet. The timekeeper’s table, the camera people and their equipment, and all of the photographers are moved back about twenty feet to accommodate its girth.

A pair of referees trot down to the dome and climb inside, bringing various implements of pain with them to set in and about the beast. They quickly exit though after doing what they came to do, leaving behind every last weapon the brought, with one referee climbing high up onto the arched part of the dome with a ladder to hang two medium sized bags.

And before Dave Carrasco can even begin layering more hype on top of the huge pile he’s already dropped, the PWI theme music begins to fill the arena and the team begins to assemble on the stage. The first to appear is Silva Dolla. He comes out, steely eyed, barking up a storm and getting into the faces of a few PWI fans on the far side of the aisle. Next are the VHB, wearing their confederate flag do-rags, PWI t-shirts, jeans, and combat boots combo, each man cracking his neck after high fiving Dolla, obviously still trying to shake off the effects of the earlier attack.

When Scott Hart walks out behind them, wearing his usual pink and black unitard, his wrestling gear, instead of jeans and boots, it doesn’t give it away.

DC: “Who will it be? Who’s coming out behind Scott? Who’s the fifth man?”

The PWI fans begin a chant for Prophecy. The light never flickers once.

DC: “HOW ABOUT THIS?”

<a href="

http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/?action=view&current=NickHart.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/NickHart.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Also clad in his pink and black unitard, Nick Hart comes out and joins the team, his face focused on the GoreBrawl structure as the five men walk, united, down the aisle and walk into the dome through the door, the PWI fans going wild.

DC: “Nick Hart has been out of action for exactly a month with a litany of injuries after being tossed through a table by the turncoat James Gilmour-Hart during the PWI vs. PWSUX Streetfight.”

JK: “It’s great to see him.”

CF: “But…..let me ask you this; is he one hundred percent? This isn’t going to be the circa 1988 sixty minute broadway booking the Harts like to get. This is going to be a fight for their lives, a fight for their reputation, and a fight for the very being of the promotion they call home.”

DC: “PPV fans might not recognize that voice since PWSUX lost their pay-per-view carrier nine months ago….but that was the smarter-than-you commentary of Colby Felder. I’m glad he’ll only be here for this last match.”

CF: “There’s a good chance it’ll be YOUR last match, too, Carrasco, so run your mouth while you can.”

The PWSUX team walks in through their fans, who freak out and pump their fists, many dropping the smarky signs they penned up at home to try to high five one of their heroes…or pour a beer down one of their throats.

CF: “Get a good look PWI fans; these are the men who will be responsible for your favorite wrestling company’s demise.”

JK: “Good god, who is this guy?”

CF: “I’m not surprised you don’t know who I am, January. I’m not sure how you could possibly manage to know the wrestling industry while at the same time managing to schedule all of the plastic surgery consultations that it must take to keep a woman your age onscreen in the entertainment biz. It’s either that or what I’ve heard about you having no gag reflex isn’t just bar room chatter among the boys.”

DC: “…..”

The PWSUX guys wander into the beast and barely wait for the door to clang shut behind them before they go on the attack, the PWI team eager to do the same. When they meet in the middle, it might as well be a gang fight. And as things unfold, the fans don’t know which way to look. The action is everywhere.

Jarid Hart is one of the first to attempt to scale the dome to get one of the bags, forgoing just grabbing one of the steel chairs, baseball bats, crowbars, or two by fours that are just floating around for the taking. But the higher he climbs toward the tiny exit at the crown, the harder it is to maintain his grip while reaching out for one of the precariously placed sacks.

DC: “How high up is he? Thirty- five feet? Forty feet above the ring?”

Nick Hart, fresh from braining Cross with a steel chair and building a two wide, three high stack of tables beside the ring, does a ridiculous cable walk turned sprint and attempts to latch himself onto Jarid as he climbs higher. But he only gets a piece of the Hart family’s black sheep, leaving the red haired cousin dangling from the roof of the thing by his fingertips.

Silva Dolla gets a chair thrown at him below by 13TEEN, but instead of taking it in the face, the PWI TV Champion snatches it out of the air, wheels sideways, and surprisingly sends it flying up in the direction of Jarid Hart. It hits him with a huge smack and causes him to lose his grip. He splatters on the canvas.

DC: “Brutality!”

Ram Diablo bashes Scott Hart’s shoulder into the ring steps twice before kicking the steps free and bracing them against the side of the GoreBrawl dome, propping Scott’s wobbling body up against it.

CF: “Watch this, Carrasco; watch what he does to your heavyweight champion.”

Diablo gets a running start and throws himself, cannonball style, into Hart, crushing him between his shoulder and the steps before popping back up and diving onto Nick Hart who is helping double team JGH with Jesse Van Holt.

Martin meanwhile, has decided to try for one of the hanging bags, scurrying up the side at twice the speed that Jarid attempted earlier

No one seems to notice as he makes his way toward one of the bags, pulling it off of its latch and hooking it around one of his wrists as he tries to get back down. Ram Diablo steps over toward the side where he is climbing down and snatches him off of the steel, choke-slamming him back into it and letting him slide down onto the concrete into a heap.

Diablo empties the bag on the floor next to the downed Martin and smiles when he sees what is at his feet.

DC: “That’s duct tape! And lighter fluid! And a zippo!”

CF: “A bountiful hardcore harvest!!”

Diablo reaches down and grabs the roll of duct tape, heading toward Martin Van Holt before he is tackled from behind by Jesse.

Cross and 13TEEN are somehow working together, going head to head with Nick Hart and Silva Dolla when Cross spots the lighter fluid and zippo laying on the floor and heads for it. 13TEEN sends Nick over the turnbuckles to the floor and into the grasp of James Gilmour-Hart and the still recovering Jarid Hart.

When Cross returns to the ring, he drags a table in behind him, dousing it with the lighter fluid before he stands it up in the corner.

Diablo looks over his shoulder when he smells the lighter fluid, taking a second from duct taping both Van Holt brothers to the side of the GoreBrawl structure.

Cross flicks the lighter and sends the table up, grabbing Silva Dolla’s free arm and turning to help 13TEEN whip him into the burning table. But at the last possible second, Dolla boots Cross in the stomach and reverses the irish whip, railroading 13TEEN directly into the fire and wood explosion, sending him straight through the inferno to the floor, smoldering.

JGH and Jarid Hart begin to pull both Nick Hart and Scott Hart together toward the middle of the ring, getting some help in pulling an enormous ladder into the ring by Ram Diablo before he is blown up by a surprising through the ropes dive by Silva Dolla that puts them both into the steel.

Jarid pulls Scott onto Nick and then goes about helping JGH set up the ladder in the corner. But after they judge the situation, they stop for a second to confer.

DC: “I don’t like this. Not one bit.”

CF: “These are two smart guys; I bet they’re plotting their escape.’

But they are doing more than that.

Jarid gets on the top rope and helps JGH push the ladder up onto the top turnbuckle, opening it and the bracing it between the turnbuckle post and the side of the structure.

When he hops down, Jarid stomps Nick and Scott a few more times each for good measure before climbing up onto the farside top rope to watch what’s coming next.

JGH stands upright for a moment upon the ladder before leaping into history, attempting an unreal looking shooting star press that sucks the air out of the building in one giant gasp.

But while he is in the air, both Harts roll aside, letting JGH hurdle through the air toward the mat knowing his fate. And when he hits, his one and only destination is the emergency room; it is not pretty.

Jarid Hart looks astonished, but only has a few seconds to do so as Nick Hart comes flying across the ring and spears him off of the top turnbuckle he was sitting on, sending both of them all the way to the floor.

Scott Hart gets to his feet and sees that everyone is down. He is still hurt, but decides to use the braced ladder to his advantage, climbing it, slowly but steadily, until he gets to the top of the cage, having only a few feet to scale before he gets to the escape hatch.

Ram Diablo sees what is happening and pulls himself up and tries to get through the ropes but Scott, with the ladder still within his range, shoots it toward Diablo with his feet, destroying the PWSUX leader and leaving Scott dangling from the top of the cage.

He goes hand over hand and pushes open the hatch. Only a few PWSUX fans boo; many have a newfound respect for the toughness of the PWI group.

DC: “Could it be?”

CF: “NO!”

DC: “Could he?”

CF: “NO!!”

He slides through the hatch and pulls himself together, sitting atop the structure with his head in his hands for a moment as one of the ring attendants tosses the PWI Heavyweight Title belt up to him.

DC: “YES! YES! YESSSSS! PWI LIVES!!!!”

The bell rings wildly and Scott, sensing the enormity of the situation, begins to stand, raising his hands and the belt high- victorious.

Suddenly the lights flash.

Once.

Then they go out totally.

It is only for about five seconds.

When they come back on……

<a href="

Prophecy is standing atop the cage beside Scott Hart.

DC: "HE'S HERE!!"

He grabs his arm and raises it in celebration of his victory, drawing a monster pop from the fans below…..

<a href="

http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/?action=view&current=Prophecy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/NoNeck_photo/Prophecy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Until he waffles Scott with a short clothesline and pushes him back through the hatch, sending him all the way from the top of the cage through the huge stack of tables that Nick built in the first moments of the match.

DC: “OH MY GOD!!!”

Prophecy looks down at the form of the bleeding and motionless Scott Hart laying amongst the pieces of the table structure below and snarls, grabbing the PWI Heavyweight Title belt and raising it above his head.

DC: “WHAT IS HAPPENING!??! WHY??”

The lights flash off again, only for a couple of seconds before they come back.

Prophecy is gone.

And so is the PWI Heavyweight Championship.
