Still getting back into the swing of things after a few month hiatus. NYCW is back and was considering a side project that wouldn't be as heavy on show write-ups. Mostly an idea I might use the 2014 C-verse for. Thinking of a start up Lucha company created by Hexx and Decimalo that is something of a MAW for luchadors. A few veterans among a roster of mostly guys that have 5 or less years of experience with the goal of training the rookies until a bigger company signs them. Once signed by someone else I would look at releasing them and signing a new rookie to work on with the goal to eventually build up a dojo that will produce prospects as well.

</div></div></div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Casey Skym & Dax Deekins</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After coming back from break following a fantastic main event match, the entire ring and ringside area has been transformed. The ring has been outfitted with AWF blue carpeting atop the ring mat, and blue streamers hanging from the ropes. A red carpet has been laid out all down the ramp. The ring is full of people – notably Casey Skym and Dex Deekins, but also several faceless suits. Other are wearing shirts or golf knits with logos that identity them as belonging to the Adrenaline network or Blue Rhino Energy drink. The mass of humanity in the ring has a palpable excitement to it.</div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Skym has the microphone, and simply introduces a video that is shown to the live audience on the TrillTron. Its a beautifully produced highlight montage of Silva Dolla's career, set to "We are the Champions" by Queen. It runs about five minutes and shows Silva's entire AWF career, from his debut back in 2005 and culminating in him winning the AWF World Heavyweight championship at Where Champions Clash 2013, just days before. Notably, the video does not show the interference of the SUX crew that resulted in the victory. </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div><div style="text-align:right;"><span>http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k235/Bigpapa42_2006/ThunderVerse/Workers/AWF/Champ%20Small/SilvaDolla_AWFWHTSmall_zps818f8deb.jpg</span><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Silva Dolla</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After the video, a live feed is shown of the front of the arena. It has been blocked off with security barriers, with a horde of fans waiting. A sleek black limousine pulls up and stops. Out steps the new AWF World Heavyweight champion. Silva Dolla is not dressed up for the occasion, instead wearing his standard gear – loose athletic pants, an oversized Dolla jersey-style top (available at the merchandise booth for only $44.99!), and his cockeyed ballcap. Any outfit would be overshadowed by the huge gold belt he carries over his shoulder. The gathered fans lose their minds at the new champion, an unlikely reaction that feels forced. </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The camera follows Silva as he walks up the front steps of the arena, then follows the red carpet into the arena. Uniformed AWF security officials line the way, to keep any fans away. The camera follows as he saunters, in no hurry to reach the contingent waiting for him in the ring. His entrance music hits. When he appears through the Zeke Gate, the reaction of the fans in attendance is undeniably negative. They roar hated at him. Merely a week before, he had still been one of the most beloved wrestlers in the promotion. Now, the heat he gets as negative of a reaction as any heel in AWF history. </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The smirk never leaves Dolla's face and he simply ignores the reaction. He makes his way to ringside, very notably ignoring the SUX crew in their seats along the rampway, despite their prominent role in him being AWF World champion. He climbs into the ring, with the ropes being held open by a lovely young woman clad in Blue Rhino gear. </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After some glad-handing, Skym takes the microphone again. He introduces the new champion as an “AWF Original” who has been there from day one, who has fought his way from the very bottom to the very top. Who has earned nothing but respect from his peers, from the fans (who boo this lustily), and from Awesome management. The microphone is then snatched away by Dax Deekins, who awkwardly notes that the Awesome Wrestling Federation now has a champion they can be proud of. Finally the microphone is handed to Dolla. </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The charismatic big man is blasted by a roar of boos from the crowd, which breaks down into a deafening chant of “you sold out”. He waits out the chant, the smirk still on his face. When it finally quiets down, he holds up the AW-lablled microphone... and says nothing. His smirk turns into a sardonic grin as he very emphatically holds the microphone out and drops it. There is a loud thud over the audio system as it hits the mat. Patting the gold belt over his shoulder, he then departs the ring. The gathered retinue look confused, with Skym actually seeming angry. </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The message from the new AWF World Heavyweight champion to the fans, however, is clearly stated.</div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<span style="color:#FF0000;">“Make the tag bro…MAKE THE FREAKING TAG!”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">You’ve got to will a bro on right, there was no way we were losing this one, there was too many babes at ringside we could let down. Kal was doing his usual shtick, getting pounded on like a $5 chick at a frat party, leaving me and Darius to pick up the pieces, all he had to do was make the tag. </span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“REACH! REACH! TAKE IT LIKE A HIT FROM THE BONG!”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">He grasped over and BOOM! Hot tag, in like a house on fire. Right hand, left hand, Darius using his head like a battering ram, Kal just falling over people to make road blocks. Feel the fire bro! PUMP IT UP! Darius picked up Kal and BAM! Beer Pong. He threw Kal on those clowns. This was our time baby! This is it, line ‘em up. Three on three. Running clothesline…Duck under.</span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“Oh shi…”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

TRIPLE SUPERKICK!...</p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">Darkness. Headache. More Darkness. This had better be one bad hangover. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:8px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:8px;">

I opened my eyes, Darius was out next to me, trying to get up, Kal’s clothes had been turned literally inside out. We were in some room, some lab, those freaking science geeks had done something.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:8px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:8px;">

Black hole? Anal probe? </span></p><p><span style="font-size:8px;">

</span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“Dude, where the hell are we?”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">Trying to tell Darius I didn’t have a clue would be difficult, that boy’s anger knew no bounds. Let’s just shrug my shoulders...</span></p><p> </p><p>

*SHRUG*</p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">Then this voice, these glasses walking towards us.</span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/rzPB4Db.jpg</span><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF0000;">“My friends, you’ve arrived in KANZEN!”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">Kal looked a mixture of bemused, worried and like he crapped his inside out pants.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:8px;">

</span></p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“Kansas?”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">This weird looking dude laughed some crazy ass laugh.</span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“KANZEN!”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">At this stage, there’s only one question.</span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“Is there beer?”</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:8px;">He just continued to laugh</span></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">“Follow me…”</span></p><p> </p><p>

This can’t be a bad thing surely. What's the worst that could happen?</p><p> </p><p>

It's a cold world out there.

It's my money, my choice. Don't presume so much Burt, you work for me remember.

 

They say it's a dog eat dog world. But the reality is far more brutal.

 

http://i.cubeupload.com/KUUZKK.jpg

 

I work for you, but I know what I'm doing, you don't. You can't expect for this to succeed unless you shut up, listen, and learn a few things about the business.

 

To succeed, you have to be the baddest, the toughest, and the smartest around.

 

This is the entertainment business. Now which of us is the award winning actor, and which of us is the washed up has-been?

 

Has-been? I was kicking ass up and down this industry before you were even born. Kid, I'm out of here.

 

Second place is nothing. You have to thrive, or you die.

 

You might be a tough guy, but don't pretend you ever got off the bottom rung. We both know why that is, you can fight, but that doesn't bring in the crowds. Millions around the globe have watched me on the big screen, I know what it is to succeed.

 

And yet you still came to me?

 

And what better place to thrive than in conflict? The strongest men and women manipulate the world to their will, and leave all others in their wake.

 

I came to you. sigh. You're right, I know little enough the ins and outs of the wrestling industry. I've always been a fan, nothing more. I came to you because you're respected, but outspoken and honest too. I've grown sick of having yes men around me.

 

And yet you ignore everything I say Darren. You've grown too used to getting your own way, those hangers on, those fancy parties, that Hollywood lifestyle.

 

It's time.

 

Maybe you're right. But so am I, a bunch of past-it brawlers is no basis for success. How many other federations have come and go, simply because they couldn't get the people through the door?

 

But we can't compete for the biggest names out there, which leaves us with past-it brawlers, a bunch of journeymen, and young guys who no-one has ever heard of.

 

I've got the money...

 

But you're not the only one. Some rich spoiled kid, bankrolling his own promotion, it's been done before, and failed countless times.

 

Time for action.

 

I'm no kid, I've earned everything I've got because I'm damn good at what I do, and that is entertain people. You know the business, I know how to catch peoples attention. Maybe there will be some sort of middle ground between the two.

 

Time for combat to erupt.

 

Maybe there will be kid. If nothing else, you're determined. That counts for a lot here. Look, we'll try to compromise, bring in some older guys, and some younger guys, and give them all a chance in the ring.

 

So be it. But don't forget who is in charge.

 

It's a cold world out there.

 

And it just got a little bit colder.

I am for this for several reasons. I always enjoy your diary and MAW is probably one of my favorite promotions to play as. I never did a diary of them myself for certain reasons, but I would be interested in seeing it in the way you are thinking of presenting it.

MAW is my go to fed, so a backstage take would be a fun read.

Quick question - I'm thinking of doing a diary based around the idea of CHIKARA opening right after WCW closes, mostly because there's a fairly big gap in wrestling at that time as it's right before RoH came along but also after WCW and ECW closed. My main question is how would people feel about a diary in which most recognisable wrestlers are completely repackaged and different to how they are in reality? From when the database starts to within about 18 months there's Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Low-Ki, The Great Khali, Christopher Daniels, Claudio Castagnoli, Homicide and many other amazing in-ring technicians still fairly unknown and right there, but at the same time I feel like it's pretty boring signing Punk and giving him the same "straight edge means I'm better than you" gimmick he used, or making Joe the Samoan Submission machine. Would people be interested in that, or would it be a turn-off?

I think giving them all the same gimmicks as in real life would be the thing that puts me off. Whilst it's riskier in a way, for example readers might just not like a new gimmick you give to say Punk or Bryan, it makes a more interesting scenario where perhaps someone like Low-Ki or someone who didn't make it at all in real life are the ones who make it big instead. Also I'd say plenty of those real life gimmicks wouldn't be a perfect fit for Chikara.</p>

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>XDW 2014 - Fearless Blue says screw it!</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

December 2013</p><p>

Los Angeles California</p><p>

Apartment of Kris Turkleton</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Kris walks inside and tosses his keys on to the nearby coffee table. The sound of flies buzzing around can be heard as Kris shuffles the pile of pizza boxes in front of him. After a few minutes Kris finds what he was looking for, his phone. Kris dials a number and begins to speak after the party on the other end picks up.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Kris: Hey Xavier, what's up bro? You think you can talk to Mitch and get me a spot on the next PSW show? Hello? X...you there X? ****!</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Kris slams the phone down before picking it up and dialing another number.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Kris: Extreme how is it going? No, I don't have your money...Dude, let me explain...I need a job...well, screw you too!</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Again Kris slams and picks the phone back up and dials a number.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Kris: Hola, donde esta Daredevil? {Hello, where is Daredevil} Que? Hola...hola? {What? Hello...hello}</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Kris hangs the phone up in defeat. Before he lifts it up and dials he makes the sign of the cross.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Kris: Sonic, how's the weather in Puerto Rico? Awesome, maybe I should come visit...Oh come on. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't even joined XDW. What do you mean that is the only reason you don't hang up on me? I thought we were boys, but you obviously don't know what that means. I hope you stay on that damn island!</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Kris takes the phone and tosses it across the room. He then slumps down on his couch with his head in his hands. When he looks up he spots a letter on his coffee table that has the XDW logo on it. Curious he opens it up and discovers it contains a check for $2500 and a note saying it and the complete rights to XDW now belong to him. The note also says he needs to reopen XDW in 2014 or else he forfeits the cash and the XDW rights.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Kris: No name...Well, whoever wrote me this check and put the XDW rights in my name wasted there ****ing time. I'm no promoter, I mean I was the reason XDW failed the first time...wasn't I? Screw it, how many times do you get a second chance in life? Those other guys are going to be sorry they blew me off because XDW is going to be the biggest wrestling company on the planet!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I would love some feedback on this concept, thanks for reading.</p>

I wish someone would make a Dog Pound project for TEW2013. It's a lot of work but a lot of fun also! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />
