<p>I just wanted to say that you write some of the best diaries on here. I don't post much as far as praise/comments, but I've followed every one you've written since PSW, and have always loved the depth you give characters.</p><p> </p><p>

I admire your ability to give so much to long term projects. Me, I can create characters and backstories, but I struggle with the long view. Everytime I read your work though, I consider trying something of my own.</p><p> </p><p>

I've always wondered two things though...</p><p> </p><p>

-First, do you take inspiration from real life (music, movies, books, etc) or does it all come from within?</p><p> </p><p>

-Second, do you consider all your diaries to be in the same universe? For example: in this current diary continuum, does Doc Messing still run PSW? Is Nemesis in charge of DOA? That sort of thing.</p><p> </p><p>

(I should also mention that I've stolen several ideas of yours for my own private games, most especially your vision of Jay Chord from DOA and from this diary.)</p>

That said, It always holds a special place for me as it was the one that 'kickstarted everything'. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> It really can be tough to develop a project long-term. God knows that I failed to really do so for awhile there. I'd jump at a new idea, get all excited and then leave it by the wayside when it felt like I had booked myself into a corner. Luckily, with my 2 last projects (WAR and now SWF), that writers block/bookers block scenario has subsided. I can now enjoy this whole process much like I've never done before. Dare to say, I've aged and calmed down a bit. </div><img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> If you feel you have the time you SHOULD jump at a project of your own. It can be a lot of work; however, if you feel that creative bug gnawing at you, it's a great way to develop something organic to yourself. </div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="alphadraighon" data-cite="alphadraighon" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34928" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>-First, do you take inspiration from real life (music, movies, books, etc) or does it all come from within?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">It's really a combination of all. There are some characters that I create entirely on my own; however, that's few and far between. In most cases, I take bits and pieces from previous characters I've seen in all forms of entertainment. It doesn't matter if it's a TV show, wrestling program, movie, documentary, the news, or just through conversation about someone's experience; it's all there to create help you create something.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> There's certainly a level that comes from within; however, in my case, outward influences help craft the idea I have within. Then, when I have a general framework, I dig down deeper and try to understand them on a 360 degree level. It may not be perfect right away but it'll grow with time.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Then, when I write a segment, I sit back and visualize everything as I write. I look at the mannerisms of my characters, what they're thinking internally, how they are carrying themselves, and what that all means. In most cases, it's less about WHAT is said and more about what is implied with their body language & overall demeanor. That tells a story in itself. It's how someone like Eric Eisen can be a pseudo tough guy, thinking that he's really a 'bad ass' wrestler, when in reality his mannerisms tell of a weasly arrogant punk. There's contradiction there but it's on purpose. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> I'll even go as far as to create their voice in my head. This was totally true with JK Stallings Jr. in WAR. I had him down pat. That said, it was this crazy, high-pitched, almost mental-hospital patient idea that I had in mind. If anyone was around when I was reading those out-loud, I'd probably sound like a psycho myself. </div><img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> So, long story short, I take inspirations from everything and anything.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="alphadraighon" data-cite="alphadraighon" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34928" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>-Second, do you consider all your diaries to be in the same universe?

That sort of thing.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">Yes and no. Up until USPW, most of my projects happened in the same universe that I entitled "Greed-Verse" (very creative, huh? ha). That said, USPW was the first time I broke from that (but while also paying homage to my roots by having Erik Vincent (or E-V) be my user character who wrote a famous comic book called "Greed"). From there on, everything has been in it's own vacuum of sorts. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> WAR happened in it's own world. SWF now exists in the same Cornellverse everyone else is playing. It freshens things up and makes it more 'new' in a sense. I need that; quite a bit actually.

Plus, it's hard NOT to book Jay Chord as the "I am not a role model" gimmick. I tried to kick around new ideas when I hired him but that's that idea I have in mind when I see him. I couldn't go with anything else; at least not right off the bat. </div><p></p>

“THE GOLDEN BOY” Rocky Idol vs. ????

[standard Singles Match]

[Debut Match]

Question: WHO will Rocky Idol face in his highly anticipated debut under the bright lights of the SWF?

Rocky has to win this. Main Eventer and Its the opener for the Pay Per View, I bet somebody interferes though to give him a feud straight off the bat, or post match attack.

The Truth© w/ Jungle Lord & Zim-ME vs. The Underwater Union

[sWF World Tag Team Championship Match]

[standard Tag Team Match]

Question: We’ve seen the Truth attack as a vile pack since their inception. Can the Underwater Union defy the odds and ultimately walk out of “Times of Trouble” as the NEW World Tag Team Champoins?

Mainstream/Dolphin takes the loss here, Lobster's the only one with overness on his team and this can only help Mainstream even if he loses.

“THE HONORABLE” Valiant w/ Hannah vs. Zim-ME w/ Jungle Lord

[standard Singles Match]

Question: Zim-ME agrees that Valiant with the current, but polarizing, perspective that Valiant is ‘too soft’ to EVER make it to the top. Will he prove this notion to be right as he steps into the ring with the “Honorable” wrestler?

Valiant is close to Main Event status, Zim-ME could be, but I think Valiant wins, mostly because Valiant is one of my favorite characters

Team Establishment vs. Fearless Four

[Warzone Cell Match]

Question(s): THE most destructive match in wrestling history makes its infamous return at “Times of Trouble”; The “Warzone Cell”. Can the rag-tag alliance of the “Fearless Four” overcome the oppressive hand of Money’s Establishment? Will Vengeance accept the ‘Supreme Dictator’s’ offer as the 4th competitor of said match? Will Christian Faith have enough left in the tank to not only survive, but THRIVE, in such a violent match?

Theres gotta be a swerve here, the 4th man won't be Vengeance, but I assume he'll get involved in the match somehow. I wanna say it'll be Rogue, but since he's been **** in your game, I bet its a swerve for a babyface to turn heel.

“THE DARK DESTROYER” Steve Frehley© vs. “PRIME TIME” Des Davids

[sWF World Heavyweight Championship Match]

[standard Singles Match]

Question(s): Since Des Davids forcibly interjected himself as the NEW #1 contender to Frehley’s championship, “Prime Time” has had the “Dark Destroyer’s” number. Week-in-and-week-out, the genetic freak has found every avenue possible to beat the champion down & ultimately prove himself to be a formidable foe. Now, for the first time in SWF History, these two will FINALLY clash with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Can Des Davids continue his impressive streak and walk out of “Times of Trouble” with the World Title? Also, how will Peter Michaels play into this heated affair?

Des Davids can't win yet, but this will help him.

Eisen-verse · July 28, 2013

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">"Times of Trouble" Release Schedule</span></strong></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> SWF "Times of Trouble" is 21 segments long. Truly, this isn't too large due to most SWF SupremeTV episodes being around 18 segments on average. The thing is though, the "Warzone Cell" match is extremely long and detailed. For such an important match, filled with 8 people all together, I didn't want to just rush over it. With that in mind though, it turned into several pages on Word (all by itself). Actually, the whole show, with formatting, is sitting at 54 pages on Microsoft Word. This is, hands down, the longest show I've ever written. Knowing this, I've decided to go with a different approach to release this PPV than I have before (due to it's size).</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> I will release the PPV in two separate posts. This way, it's slightly less daunting for those interested in reading it. Here is the schedule of its release:</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Tuesday:</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> "Times of Trouble" Part 1</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Thursday: </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">"Times of Trouble" Part 2</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The first segment will take us 10 segments in and provide somewhat of a cliffhanger of what's to happen next (The final segment that is). From there, the opening segment of part 2 (on Thursday) will bring that cliffhanger to life. It seems like the best spot to create this split as it will, maybe, create some further interest.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> All in all, thank you ALL for your predictions/feedback/comments. I'm actually looking forward to the two day post. This PPV took A LOT out of me and I don't want to burn out before my semester starts.

The Lloyd · July 29, 2013

Thank you, Lloyd!

First and foremost, I've been poking my head into your WWE project a lot lately. I haven't always been a real-world reader but I've been enjoying what you're doing there. You've given me a lot of reading when I haven't had much to do at work (slow period).

I 100% understand not being able to read every show. It's tough. Especially this summer as I've had more time to add in some major depth. That'll change come the fall. Maybe the stripped back option will be easier to follow?

I, myself, (a future school worker as well) am looking forward to those summers off.
Enjoy your time!

Overall, thank you for the nod, Lloyd. I put a lot of work into the characters, storylines, images, internet stories, etc. because I really love writing these sort of projects. In a perfect world, I'd love to work as a wrestler writer/headbooker. I just don't see that happening for MANY reasons though. This gives me that avenue to pretend though.

I think a lot of people share your sentiment in the last paragraph... i'd LOVE to work in the wrestling business somehow... I live on a small Island on the south coast of England, so we're nowhere near any wrestling companies unfortunately... but who knows... one day

Thank you for taking the time to have a look at my diary, i also love writing it, and its always nice to hear people like you (who have AMAZING diaries) are enjoying aspects of mine... I think my shows are pretty long too, so i totally get why people don't/can't read them cover to cover. If you do ever feel like predicting, I have some pretty awesome (pretty average) prediction prizes... I come up with them last minute usually, and then everyone says how much they loved the prize so i must be doing something right there...

Thanks again, and i'm also looking forward to Times of Trouble... a show that I will take the time to read through word for word as it'll no doubt warrant

Eisen-verse · July 29, 2013

<p>"Times of Trouble" is coming along REALLY well thus far. I should have no problem hitting the "Part 1" release on Tuesday night. I just have some pictures to add into the mix and it'll be ready to go. At first, I was weary of going into two parts, as I've never really done that; however, I'm liking the idea now. So much so that I plan on doing the same approach with "Supreme Challenge 33". With SO much show to write for, I'll probably have to release the epic PPV in 3 if not 4 segments. This will help me in the writing process as well as, once I get to that point, I'll most likely be back in class by then. </p><p> </p><p>

Just a thought I had earlier today. I feel as though I've hurt the North American Championship in a way by putting it on Eric Eisen. That was never my intent; however, I failed to realize that I was going to push Eric into the main event scene while holding the belt. His feud with Christian Faith really started the whole landslide as it pertains to Eisen really being seen as the NA Champion & defending it as such. Right now, it feels like a prop more than a title. In reality though, that could happen if Eric Eisen was a real person as, given his backstage clout, he may push his weight around to be a 'champion' (but not wanting to put the World title on him at that time). This is how I try to book Eisen realistically. I can job him out non-stop, have to keep him rather strong, because I just don't see the man really allowing anything otherwise. He's a chicken-sh-heel who thinks he's a tough guy but finds ways to get the job done. </p><p> </p><p>

Sadly, having him feuding in the main event scene, he's continually neglected defending the NA title. Honestly, the only real match that sticks out during his reign is the night that he and Atomic swapped the belt back and forth. Other than that, he hasn't done anything with the title; rather becoming "Mr. SWF" in a short, abusive, feud by Eisen over Faith.</p><p> </p><p>

Meh, enough with the rambling. Onto some responses!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>@Timber:</strong> Truthfully, I wouldn't mind it. err... not in a creepy way that is. While being a real booker/writer would be exciting, I would take getting paid to write a GDS Dynasty as a great option #2. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Since that's not possible, I don't see the tied to a chair scenario working out too well. haha. </p><p> </p><p>

Either way, awesome to know that you're excited for "ToT" to be released! It kicked my butt a little; so, It's great to know that there's considerable interest to read it (as, if there wasn't, then all of this work would feel rather flat).</p><p> </p><p>

It's coming... very soon... Part 1 is a good 34 hours away! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>@THELloyd:</strong> You never know what could happen. That small island of yours could boom into the next great underground wrestling location. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Well, probably not but... You can dream, right? If you take your vitamins... say your prayers... Yea... You know the rest.</p><p> </p><p>

Your WWE dynasty really IS one of my favorite real world developments. It's true, the length of shows can be difficult (as I know it can be the same with my projects) but I still find the time to dive into most of it. More times than not, much like I am right now, I tend to read it on my phone when I have some downtime at work. I'll try to stop in and start predicting in the next few shows. It may take me a bit as my time gets pretty limited starting at the end of August here but I'm all for showing my support for great writers around here.</p>

As a worker, he's average at best, and I see him (and so do a few of my diary's readers) as a Miz-type character in terms of the heat he gets from fans. They don't hate him because he's a heel per se, they hate him because he's Eric Eisen, and his on- and offscreen persona is absolutely annoying. Right now I have him teetering between the main event and upper midcard, occasionally fighting for a title but mainly being his annoying frat boy self and putting someone over in the PPVs. </p><p> </p><p> Creative control can be a bitch with Eisen, so what I usually did was keep him strong. Eventually, his contract came up, and unlike in previous TEW iterations where he'd ask for the moon and the stars, he actually settled for slightly less. Sure, he asked not to be booked on B-shows on account of his "declining physical ability" (yes, even at "only" 34-35), but at least he didn't ask for creative control when I was renegotiating with him.</p>

As a worker, he's average at best, and I see him (and so do a few of my diary's readers) as a Miz-type character in terms of the heat he gets from fans. They don't hate him because he's a heel per se, they hate him because he's Eric Eisen, and his on- and offscreen persona is absolutely annoying. Right now I have him teetering between the main event and upper midcard, occasionally fighting for a title but mainly being his annoying frat boy self and putting someone over in the PPVs. <p> </p><p> Creative control can be a bitch with Eisen, so what I usually did was keep him strong. Eventually, his contract came up, and unlike in previous TEW iterations where he'd ask for the moon and the stars, he actually settled for slightly less. Sure, he asked not to be booked on B-shows on account of his "declining physical ability" (yes, even at "only" 34-35), but at least he didn't ask for creative control when I was renegotiating with him.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> He certainly is no Angry Gilmore in the ring; however, the heat on Eisen is actually the reason I love to book him. The SWF Nation can't stand the guy (as you said) on two levels really. He's widely known as an arrogant prick you wants things 'his way' and uses his Father's unquestioned influence as a powerful tool in creating his own legacy. From there, his in-ring persona (at least in my rendition) screams of chicken-sh-heel hypocrisy. He wants to be a tough guy, pretends to be one, but deep down he will do WHATEVER it takes (cheating in several ways) to make sure he stays on top; almost like a desperation thing. I would guess that the real knowledge of his backstage persona is what's making his in-ring persona 'work'; as you can't stand the guy (and have a real reason not to do so). </p><p> </p><p> In a sense, unlike Triple H (who rose to power), Eisen doesn't really have the kind of skills to warrant his top spot. </p><p> </p><p> Now, with that said, he's not a throw away either. I have him up to a "B+" in popularity with Ms. Chase as his mouthpiece and a strong storyline at his back (taking shape right now). It wouldn't shock me if he jumped to an "A" in little time. </p><p> </p><p> There in lies my conundrum though. I don't want an "A" over North American Champion. That said, knowing Eisen, he wouldn't allow himself to get steamrolled and drop the belt for a stupid reason. He'd do whatever it took to keep the belt unless he A) knew a big storyline was on the horizon to supplement the title or B) he was going to be thrown into the World Title mix. Well, I don't really want to do the latter, at least not right now, but I wouldn't completely shy away from the notion (as he's gaining overness). That said, I've only been able to pull "C" and "C+'s" at best out of the guy (against people like Faith & Gilmore).</p><p> </p><p> Creative control on any guy can be really tough. I mean, it's the reason why I had to jump in with a quick re-write when Eric decided that the "Warzone Cell" was too dangerous for him. While it sucked, it stood as more realistic to me. I actually quite enjoyed it. </p><p> </p><p> As funny as it sounds, I LOVE that Eric is a prick. Also, that he's so high on the card with so little REAL main event talent. It's a great challenge and one that makes it more interesting than if I was just able to book everyone I wanted in whatever position. He challenges me; in a lot of ways.</p>

You know, depending how you handled the situation on-screen that might also give a nice on-screen reason to strip Eisen for his North American title without having him losing it. Money have already shown that he´s willing to blackmail even his closest allies as was shown with Chase lately so maybe you could have Money strip Eisen for his title as a way of a punisment from chickening out and to remind who´s in charge. That might well lead into some big storyline too so that you could justify why Eric would be willing to drop the title.</p>

I can absolutely see Eric Eisen pull out of a match like that. Truthfully, he probably wouldn't see much upside to the matter. He's guaranteed his push so why risk a major injury in a match like this? He's already been shelved for a long period of time with a knee injury a few years back. He would probably be fearful that such a match re-injure that knee if not add a wealth of others in the process. He's looking at long-term health, his ability to make money well into his 40's, and his overall legacy (which is how both would tie in).</p><p> </p><p> The HBK stripping the title scenario is one that could really work here. Rich Money has shown, as you've pointed out, a considerable mean-streak even when it comes to his own allies. Even WITH <em>The</em> Establishment, he's not scratching the back of anyone else really. The group itself was formed to blatantly give him further advantage. They're expendable to him; as, if one leaves, he can find a replacement in a drop of a hat. Would he outright strip Eisen? Possibly. I do have an idea that I've been cooking up on how to have him drop the belt; however, wanted to keep him strong around the scenario as well. In reality, at this point, I have 2 different wrestlers that I'm willing to put the belt on when that time comes. I feel that they would be better served with it. That said, finding the 'right time' to pull the trigger, and how, is the challenge I'm sorting through currently.</p>

<p>Been reading this for a long while now and you do an excellent job with it so two thumbs up from me, That said.....</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I hate your Jack Bruce, if that's your intention then kudos, because something about him makes me hate him and not in the 'boo hiss' way but in the 'someone beat the crap outta him and get him off my screen' way. This is just my opinion but even if she was the 'bad guy' in the SWF world his interactions with Emma came across as kinda skeevy. Maybe it's just me, but yeah. Hate your Bruce, will groan and grit my teeth when/if he comes back. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Still, keep up the good work.....unless it's Bruce, then feel free to keep him off screen for a good looooooooooong time. I won't complain. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

So, he is insanely unique in that his character doesn't change much from face to heel; he IS Jack Bruce. We decide what he is, disposition, in a way.</p><p> </p><p> He got to a level where he is an entity who transcends simple wrestling logic of good vs. evil. </p><p> </p><p> Plus, given the SWF's product, attitude-esque, it was Jack's douchbagery that built the current product. This means that some will love him, others, like yourself, will despise him but that's essentially what I was gunning for.</p><p> </p><p> He's like a Tommy Lee. I can't stand the guy. He's arrogant, entitled, self serving and a degenerate to say the least. That said, some absolutely love him. He's the definition of 'Bad Boy Cool'. Guys wanna live like him; ladies wanna be with him. This is my version of Jack Bruce in all of his blatantly polarizing glory. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Ladron Del Alma · July 30, 2013

<p>I'll say that I'm in the camp of loving Jack Bruce. He's very Attitude Era style anti-hero babyface and makes for a unique fun throwback character in comparison to to Faith and Valiant who are a lot more clean cut babyfaces. I'll pop big when he comes back. Besides, Emma's a bitch who deserves much of what she gets.</p><p> </p><p>

On the Eisen thing, I'm torn because it's great for you to be able to just strip him of the belt but on the other hand, I couldn't wait to see him get beat for it. Eisen's tough to deal with here. Sucks in the ring but he's over. On one hand, you have to use him, on the other you don't wanna cause he's got average on his best day skills. I feel your pain on that one.</p>

As I said above, he's the reason, in my mind, that the SWF product is the way it is. It's much like how HBK/DX ushered in the early Attitude-era & Austin took the ball and ran it another 80 yards for the touchdown. They defined the era much like how Bruce defines it now. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Faith and Valiant are, as you said, the 'clean cut' guys. Faith is a little more rough around the edges that Val but they are essentially the same figure (just 20 some odd years apart). Bruce is the perfect anti-hero while standing along side these guys. Plus, in reality, to 'make it' as a babyface, Bruce WOULD have to be different than those guys or run the risk of what the WWE is seeing now (all being the same and nothing really setting them apart from a different pair of trunks).</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Ladron Del Alma" data-cite="Ladron Del Alma" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34928" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>On the Eisen thing, I'm torn because it's great for you to be able to just strip him of the belt but on the other hand, I couldn't wait to see him get beat for it.

Hopefully, if I can get him into the 'A' region his match grades will rise a little. I guess we'll have to see?

<p>In my SWF game, Eric Eisen has surprised me. He's hovered from a B+, down to a C+ then back up to a B, then B+ again, but some of his match ratings have been awesome. Eisen vs Valiant (no chemistry) got me 84 twice (on Supreme TV, no less), while Eisen was at B and Valiant was at B-, Eisen vs Gilmore got me a 90 (once again, no chemistry) and Eisen vs Faith (still no chemistry) got me 85.</p><p> </p><p>

So he has the potential for good matches with the right opponents...hell, even a match against Akima Brave, who only has like C- pop got me a 70.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm sure you'll find the right way to drop the title when you are ready...and Eisen has always been a favourite of mine...he's under rated (like The Miz). <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

It's a really tricky one... Where on one hand, he can't be champion because he's too high up the roster, and doesn't ever defend it... on the other hand, He won't drop it to someone who isn't on his level (too high up)... It might just be worth having him lose it to someone who is his level, like Gilmore, and then have Gilmore drop it to someone lower... a transitional champion, but make it into a storyline...</p>

SWF ANNOUNCING TEAM

Peter Michaels, Duane Fry and Jerry Eisen

Peter Michaels:

Their ‘aint no name more fittin’ than “Times of Trouble” as the SWF is currently lockin’ horns with one of THE biggest dictators in wrestling history. While that’s true, it can ALL end here tonight.

Duane Fry:

That’s right, Peter. THE deadliest match in our sports history returns tonight as the “Warzone Cell” looks to claim the careers and livelihoods of all of those who dare step into it. There MAY not be an actual shift-of-power waiting as a stipulation but one wrong move, what violent impact, and the WHOLE SWF Landscape could change forever!

Jerry Eisen:

you KNOW their gunning for Money. They HAVE to be. If they can do more than just beat the man, there’s a chance that the SWF could return to normalcy. Under his reign, there’s no chance of it.

Peter Michaels:

We’ve also got a rivalry that’s bout to come to a head here tonight. I know, first hand, as I’ve been somehow stuck in the middle of it all. I’ll say it now, and I’ll say it again, I ‘aint got nothin’ to do with Davids. Tonight, I hope he gets kicked ALL over the ring by Frehley.

Duane Fry:

We’re ALL looking for that, Peter! The “Dark Destroyer” goes up against one of THE toughest opponents we’ve seen as of late. He’s put him on his back, dropped him with a few “Highlight Reels”, over the last few weeks and now… It all comes to this point. Can “Prime Time” continue his ascent into superstardom; walking away with the belt a MONTH before “Supreme Challenge 33”OR will the “Dark Destroyer” do what he does best… Kick the livin’ HELL out of another challenger!

Jerry Eisen:

If he can win here tonight then he’s only a few weeks removed from hitting the year mark as World Heavyweight Champion. You KNOW that that’s in the back of his mind here tonight.

Duane Fry:

BACK of his mind? Frehley wears EVERYTHING on his sleeves. He’ll let you know EXACTLY how he’s thinkin’ at all times. Tonight is no different. He WANTS that year mark. It shoves it right BACK in the critics faces for saying he couldn’t cut it as the champ. He’ll give EVERYTHING he has tonight to get to that point; I’m sure of that.

Peter Michaels:

Before we get to all of that, I’ve got word that there’s somethin’ we gotta see in the back… Let’s go there now…

Instead, the highly anticipated PPV event begins with the simple sight of four men standing as one in a backstage locker room. As Big Cat Brandon, Angry Gilmore and Captain Atomic reside around the room, some in seated positions, others standing on high, their central focus is directly squarely upon their fearless leader as he stands before them.]

[The “Iron Man” looks as stern as ever. His bullish mannerisms tell of a man who’s not interesting in any nonsense at this point. He projects a sense of purity in a way. Not in the ‘holier than thou’ fashion but in a blue-collar, All-American, sort of fashion. He’s an everyday with a not-so-everyday ability to repeatedly overcome the odds.]

[Dressed in a pair of faded blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt, his damaged hair dangling down in a flowing fashion, Faith looks to be in the middle of a one-man conversation. A psyche-up if you will.]

[Christian Faith]:
We’ve stepped into hell, boys…

[Faith pauses; staring at each guy around the room. His tone is quite matter-of-fact; not kicking the can around a bit. He’s getting straight the point and, in doing so, making sure that ‘his guys’ are ready for the challenge.]

[Christian Faith]:
I know you’ve heard stories… but it ‘aint nothin’ like the real thing.
[Pauses]
I’ve been in that ‘Cell. I’ve broken bones in that “Warzone”. It ‘aint pretty. It ‘aint easy.
[Pauses]
It’ll chew you up and spit you out without even a damn. That’s the truth. ‘Aint no way around it.
[Pauses]
I chose you three with this in mind. I knew I needed warriors… not men… not wrestlers…
[Pauses]
I needed modern-day gladiators; fighters with little regard for anything but violence itself.
[Pauses]
Others pushed for your spots but they never stood a chance. Not in this match… not this time.
[Pauses]
Winnin’ this match means everythin’.
[Pauses]
Money’s single-handedly drove us down a rabbit hole; one that we may never get out of. That is… unless we stop him here tonight.
[Pauses]
If we can put them on their backs, give ‘em hell, there’s no tellin’ what it’ll do to Money & his boys. It could cut it all down…
[Pauses]
Us four… we can do exactly that. We can save the SWF from Money’s bull-sh*t…

[The remaining three members of Team Faith begin to nod their heads at varying speeds; depending upon their persona.]

[Christian Faith]:
The thing is… not all of us will walk out of there intact. Hell, everyone who walks into the ‘Cell has a better chance of being carried out on a stretcher than walkin’ out on their own accord.
[Pauses]
You need to know that; make peace with yourself… your family… your career…
[Pauses]
Because it can all be taken away from you in a blink-of-an-eye. The “Warzone Cell”… She’s a b*tch… That’s the god-honest true…

[The room remains quiet as it seems as though Faith’s battle-cry is working. You can almost feel the energy of the room, despite being silent, growing with intensity. Said silence only adds to this notion; the epic nature of it all.]

[Christian Faith]:
Tonight… You walk into that ‘Cell as warriors…
[Pauses]
if you’re lucky enough to walk out on your own two feet…
[slight Pause]
You walk out…
[slight Pause]
LEGENDS…

[A vocal outburst comes from all three members of Faith’s team; all roaring in their own manner. In doing so, a few are shown tossing their arm into the air in a warrior-esque kind of fashion. Meanwhile, Faith stands proud before them; chest puffed out, gaze as stern as ever. That said, underneath it all, there is most likely a level of heaviness on his heart… as he’s potentially walking 3 allies straight into HELL itself.]

GRADE:
B-

Duane Fry:

Hell… Yea…

[Fry proclaims in a slow, yet intensely excited, fashion.]

Jerry Eisen:

Money’s reign of oppression comes to an end, tonight! All along, the man we’ve been waiting for was always here. The “Iron Man” Christian Faith has saved the SWF time-and-time again. Here tonight, in that ominous ‘Cell hanging above the ring, he’ll do it once again.

Peter Michaels:

Damn right he will.

Duane Fry:

After that, I want to step into the “Warzone Cell”.

[Laughs]

I mean, not really, I love my wife and kids and want to be able to see 35, but that speech… wow… There are some who are just born to lead. Faith has ALWAYS had that tone to him.

Peter Michaels:

It’s cause you respect the man. Ultimate respect is the greatest motivator.

Duane Fry:

I can’t wait for this one tonight! Can’t wait at all!

IN-RING CHALLENGE

INVOLVED:
Kris Cage and ????

“I’m the ONLY Idol…”

[After such a hot opening, you would expect something rather grandiose to take place in its wake. In reality, that’s not what we are presented. Instead, shortly after we return to the ringside area, we’re met with the annoying tone of Kris Cage’s theme music.]

[As the self-proclaimed “Untouchable” shuffling through the “Supreme Gate”, smirking largely as he arrogantly gazes over the top of his slouching sunglasses, the SWF Nation quickly showers the youngster with a wave of disdain. Whether it’s because they don’t care for the man OR they expected more out of this slot, it doesn’t entirely matter. What does is that he’s able to generate at least a blip of heat from it.]

Duane Fry:
Do we HAVE TO listen to this guy? I mean… Seriously?

Peter Michaels:
He sure does get under ya skin, don’t he?

Jerry Eisen:
BIG time…

[stepping into the ring, Cage arrogantly rips the microphone form the nearby ring announcer. Seconds later, he shoves him backward, lightly, and begins to laugh like a pint-sized bully of sorts. As expected, this generates a little more heat for the youngster.]

[Once his music subsides, and the dwindling heat starts to fade, Cage quickly does what he does best… Get on the mic and insult anyone and everyone.]

[Kris Cage]:
ALL week… All I’ve heard out of you idiots is that the “Golden Boy” is coming to the SWF. ‘When’s he getting here? What does this mean for the SWF? Ohhh… He’s SOOO dreamy…’

[Cage pauses for a second. The last 3 statements/questions were all done in a sarcastic tone.]

[Kris Cage]:
Whatever…
[Laughs; shakes his head as he rolls his eyes]
Really?!?! THIS is how you spend your time? Fantasy-booking some overgrown ken doll in a black Speedo?
[Laughs]
It’s pretty sad. Even for you idiots…
[Crowd boos; Cage smirks]
There are MUCH better things to focus your time on like… WHY… isn’t Kris Cage competing at “Times of Trouble”?
[Pauses; slight anger to his tone]
Yea… That’s the MUCH bigger question. Why someone of MY caliber, my ability, MY… Star power, has been left off such an IMPORTANT show.
[Pauses]
I mean, if you’re going to pay the $60 to watch SOMEBODY in this ring… There ‘aint a better investment than ME… “The Untouchable”… Kris Cage…

[Cage smirks as the crowd boos once again. It’s not a heavy amount of heat really. I mean, at this point, Cage is somewhat of a low-impact guy. That said, he carries himself as if he’s someone of Money or Bruce’s stature.]

[Kris Cage]:
So, out of the kindness of my heart, and the greatness… of my giving ways, I stand before you with peerless humility…
[Pauses]
… As I call out this so-called “Golden Boy”…
[Crowd pops]
One-on-one…
[Crowd grows a little larger]
Thank you… I agree; I really AM a wonderful individual…

[The crowd slightly boos once again; however, more amped about the idea of Idol coming out.]

[Kris Cage]:
… Rocky… I KNOW you’re back there. Come on down and prepare the BIGGEST beating of your life!!

[The crowd boos at first, responding to Cage’s last statement; however, said boos would quickly subside moments later as a new theme begins to blare throughout the arena.]

[Leaping to their feet, the SWF Nation in attendance all stands and gawks toward the “Supreme Gate”; waiting… anticipating.]

[Then it happens…]

[stomping confidently through the “Supreme Gate”, the towering Rocky Idol is shown entering an SWF event for the first time in history. His hair dangles playfully in front of his face as a gradual smirk forms upon his face. You can tell he wanted to play the debut straight; however, the momentous response forces him to crack.]

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Idol_zps08802aae.jpg

The “Golden Boy” comes to the SWF!

Duane Fry:
ROCKY… IDOL…

Jerry Eisen:
The “Golden Boy” has come… to the SWF!!

Peter Michaels:
He’s a lot taller than I thought he’d be. Good to see ‘em here; where the REAL action takes place.

Duane Fry:
He’s NEVER stood under BRIGHTER lights before… BUT… From what I know of the man, that won’t slow him down. He’s a force to be reckoned with and, right now, it looks like Kris Cage may be the FIRST to find that out here in the SWF.

[Flinging his hair back with a minor head throw, Rocky starts his descent down the steel rampway leading toward the ring. All the while, his focus is mostly centered upon the SWF Nation roaring around him. A single arm raised to the sky, smirking as he nods his head, tells of a man who’s feeling the energy of the moment.]

[As he enters the ring, still connecting with the ruckus crowd, his muscular physique becomes more evident. He’s not overly developed. Instead, it’s more of a muscular frame in a slender, compact, manner. That said, his sheer height, standing close to 6’9, makes him look ALL that much more powerful.]

[Eventually, Idol’s music would subside into the background; however, it’s ultimately replaced by a strong wave of excitement from the SWF Nation. As you would expect, this forces Cage to react; rolling his eyes as he laughs it off.]

[idol, quite charismatic in his natural mannerisms, crosses his arms, c*cks his head slightly to the side, and smirks, as he towers HIGH above the man who called him out.]

[Kris Cage]:
That was quaint…
[He proclaims sarcastically]
I’ve had BIGGER pops in my career…

[The crowd boos slightly as Idol simply laughs him off.]

[Kris Cage]:
So… YOU’RE this supposed “Golden Boy” who’s come to the BIG leagues, huh? Well, Rock-o… If you want to be on MY level then you’re…

[before Kris can even finish his last statement, Rocky is shown exploding into action. All it takes is one strong big-boot, square to Cage’s jaw, to send the much smaller loud-mouth square to the canvas.]

Duane Fry:
THAT’LL shut ya’ up…
[Laughs]

Jerry Eisen:
I’d say so!

[The SWF Nation pops like crazy as Rocky looks to be MORE than ready for action here tonight. That said, he stands back for a second; smirking in a charismatic fashion as he allows Cage to return to his feet.]

[Cage does exactly that, yelling out “I wasn’t ready” several times, quite comical to say the least; however, as he spins around to face Idol, not necessarily knowing where he is at that moment, he’s eventually dropped once again by a thunderous closeline from the “Golden Boy”.]

[As Cage hits the canvas again, he slowly rolls to the apron in which to regain his composure; all the while mouthing to himself, in between his heavy breathing, that that “wasn’t fair”.]

[Darren Smith quickly speeds down to the ring and calls for the bell at an equal pace. The match is set and ready to go with, what’s to be expected, the debuting Rocky Idol firmly in control.]

GRADE:
B-

Duane Fry:

We got ourselves a match, folks. The “Golden Boy” Rocky Idol makes his debut here, tonight, at “Times of Trouble” against the resident loud-mouth himself, Kris Cage. To say that Cage has an uphill battle before him MAY be one of the BIGGER understatements of the night…

Jerry Eisen:

The mic can’t save you now, Kris. He’s ALL yours!

Duane Fry:

We’ve got ourselves a good ole’ Barnstomer… and it’s happening NOW!

Rocky Idol

“Impressive Debut”

MATCH TYPE:
Standard Singles Match; First Pinfall/Submission

TIME LIMIT:

REFEREE:
Darren Smith

AT RINGSIDE:
N/A

Kris Cage jaw-jacks with the smirking “Golden Boy” in the center of the ring. The size difference is laughable; however, that doesn’t seem to stop Kris from doing a little trash talking.

Shortly after said trash talk, Cage lands a stiff slap across Idol’s jaw. As expected, this doesn’t sit well with the debuting powerhouse. Within seconds, Idol has exploded into action; placing his opponent on his heels and square on his back continually.

Cage may have a few moments, here and there, where he looks relatively strong in nature; however, it’s few-and-far between. Plus, in most of those instances, it’s more about Cage gaining said momentary advantage via underhanded means.

A string of power moves later and Cage is starting to look overwhelmed. He continues to fight but it doesn’t mean very much.

As Cage staggers around the ring, Rocky finally puts an end to their match with his newfound signature move – “Be-All-End-All”.

There’s no kicking out from Cage as he lays motionless upon his back. Meanwhile, Rocky looks overtly strong; even as he pins his opponent by slamming his elbow across his jaw.

WINNER:
Rocky Idol via pinfall

ENDING MANEUVER:
“Be-All-End-All” (Pump-handle Slam)

ENDING TIME:
9:26

GRADE:
B

Duane Fry:

I don’t think Cage is as confident coming OUT of the match as he was going IN.

[Laughs]

You’ve got to give the man credit. He doesn’t back down from anyone. That said, he couldn’t off-set his limited size with an amped up pace within the ropes. Knowing this, he didn’t stand a chance.

Jerry Eisen:

Rocky Idol is a true physical specimen. He’s a modern-day Adonis. As you said, someone like Cage NEEDS to change his style in which to potentially topple someone as long and strong as the “Golden Boy”. He didn’t do that and that’s why he’s looking up at the lights right now.

Peter Michaels:

Strong debut from the “Golden Boy”; that’s for sure. Good to see him in the BIG leagues now.

Duane Fry:

It certainly is. Now, we have to see if his prior experience will help in his transition here under the bright lights of the SWF. If tonight is any example, I don’t think he’s going to have ANY problems ahead.

POST-MATCH PROMO

INVOLVED:
Rocky Idol and ????

“I’ve come for you…”

[Rocky Idol stands dominant in the ring as Darren Smith raises his hand for the 1st time in his SWF career. Beads of light sweat roll down the Adonis-like figure of the 6’9 powerhouse as his chin-length blonde hair dangles before his face in a cool fashion. A charismatic smirk forms upon his face, soaking in the moment, as he looks to be happy with the newfound stage he’s come to compete on.]

[Eventually, as he drops his arm from Darren, the “Golden Boy” is shown further hyping the crowd by throwing his right arm, once again, into the air; holding down the top rope with his left arm in a strong fashion.]

[seconds later, the love-fest would come to a close though as the sound of an unfamiliar theme overtakes Alabama Field Row.]

[idol slowly looks over toward the “Supreme Gate”, still smirking in a charismatic fashion, resting his arms on the top rope facing said entrance-way, as he awaits the arrival of a potential new rival.]

[When said rival appears, the arena descends into a mixed reaction as the polarizing 2nd generation wrestler, Jay Chord, is shown shuffling out of the back and onto the steel stage before the “Gate”.]

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Chord_zps28f36c77.jpg

Jay Chord debuts in the SWF!

Duane Fry:
WHOA!

Jerry Eisen:
Is that?!

Duane Fry:
Yes it is! Jay Chord!

Jerry Eisen:
After weeks of taped promos, the 2nd generation wrestler has finally stepped into a LIVE SWF event.

Peter Michaels:
He’s a spittin’ image of his Father.

Duane Fry:
Oh… Touchy subject there…

[With a microphone already in hand, Chord takes a second to stare-down his former TCW counterpart; sending a message of disdain through his angry-looking stare.]

[After his lengthy stare, his music fading in the background during this process, Chord is ultimately shown raising said microphone up to his mouth; never breaking his angry stare.]

[Jay Chord]:
No matter where I go… what I do… There you are.
[Pauses; frustrated]
The “Golden Boy”, right? That’s what you’re going by here?
[Pauses]
Well, “Golden Boy”… This easy road of yours; it ends now.
[Pauses]
You may have been protected down South but Tommy [Cornell] ‘aint here anymore, now is he?
[Pauses]
There’s nobody here that can keep me from you… Nobody here to SAVE you anymore…
[Pauses]
Nobody…

[Jay continues to stare upon Rocky with an air of overt frustration coursing throughout his body. Meanwhile, the “Golden Boy” continues to lean on the nearby rope; charismatic as he appears unafraid of Chord’s ranting.]

[Jay Chord]:
Let’s take a little trip BACK into history, shall we?
[Pauses]
October 1st… 2012 … I walked into Tommy’s office with a new contract on the table. There I was, on the cusp of making a career for myself… Stepping out of my Father’s shadow and cementing the start of my OWN legacy.
[Pauses]
They said ‘Don’t worry kid, you’re going to the top’… even had an idea for my first night on the job. What was that idea? Stepping into the ring with YOU…
[Pauses]
It was supposed to be my breakout moment and then… what happened, Rocky?
[Pauses]
Tell these fans what YOU did…
[Pauses; growing MORE frustrated]
You marched into Tommy’s office, through a little hissy fit, and pulled yourself OUT of the match. You didn’t want to work with me… You kicked my name all over that room… and because Tommy had his lips firmly pressed to your a$$... I was forced to wallow in some second-rate opening match. Where were you? Oh yea, main eventing once again; playing the ‘good guy’ and pretending to be this holier-than-thou a$$hole with a GOD complex…

[Jay pauses for a second; fuming with frustration.]

[Jay Chord]:
These fans are too STUPID to see the truth…
[Crowd boos like crazy]
They’ll digest any bull you throw their way. Why? Because you have the look… you’ve got ‘it’, right? That’s what Tommy called it. ‘It’… and ‘it’ is what kept me away from you for months on end.
[Pauses]
Match with Rocky? Oh no… That CAN’T happen… He’s too ‘special’ to step into the ring with someone like Jay…
[Pauses; shakes his head]
Screw that… and screw YOU!

[The crowd boos like crazy as Chord looks out upon them; shaking his head in an angry fashion]

[Jay Chord]:
Oh, Shutup…

[Chord’s face contorts with anger as he relays his last statement. Meanwhile, the crowd boos even louder at this point.]

[Jay Chord]:
There’s no one to protect you here, Rocky… No one to hide behind…
[Pauses]
I signed with the SWF because I wanted to get the HELL out of that Total piss-hole…
[Pauses]
… Away from the politics… the bull… The British idiot who runs the place…
[Pauses]
… I came here to cement my OWN legacy; to be my OWN man… and to start my ascent toward the “Hall of Immortals”; where I belong.
[Pauses]
And that legacy is going to start with a little payback…
[Pauses]
It starts with me kicking your a$$ from pillar-to-post… from city-to-city… continent-to-continent…
[Pauses]
and when I’m done… It’ll be ME standing at the top; refusing to work with your sorry a$$... once and for all…

[Chord throws the microphone down upon the steel stage below. In doing so, a god awful sound resonates from the feedback generated by the crash.]

[Meanwhile, the crowd is heard booing like crazy.]

[Even as they do, Chord doesn’t break his focus. He’s intensely gazing upon the “Golden Boy” in the ring. Fuming, the 2nd generation wrestler looks to be hellbent on the absolute destruction of his long-time, backstage, rival.]

[Due to the backstage nature, plus the added shock of Chord talking about TCW and Tommy Cornell, this feels very ‘real’. This extends past wrestling and really seems to be a one-sided feud projected by the young Jay Chord. He’s bent, pissed, and has been held-down before; held-away from Idol. With that in mind, he’s brought his internal rage to the forefront, and from another company, in the SWF.]

[Meanwhile, as Chord’s music begins to blare once again, we witness the sight of Rocky Idol still leaning on the top rope facing the angered youngster. He doesn’t appear to be threatened in the slightest. If anything, as he steps back, raising his right arm high into the air once again, pushing down on the top rope with his free hand, all in the direction of Chord, the “Golden Boy” appears to be sending a message of his own; “Come get me”.]

GRADE:
C+

Duane Fry:

It sounds like Jay Chord has brought a long-standing hatred of Rocky Idol from down South to the SWF. He’s sick of the politics. Claims that Idol was protected by their former employer and is hell-bent on sticking it TO the “Golden Boy”. Something tells me that Chord won’t back down until he gets what he wants here…

Jerry Eisen:

He’ll either sink-or-swim by going after Idol.

Peter Michaels:

It’s easy to see that these two are no strangers to one another. This ‘aint goin’ away anytime soon.

Duane Fry:

It most certainly is not. Chord is nipping at Idol’s heels, folks. He’s a man possessed. Will that translate into what he’s looking for; to prove that he’s BETTER than Rocky Idol? I guess we’ll have to see.

Jerry Eisen:

You KNOW their kicking themselves down south right now. We’ve got ourselves one HELL of a match on our horizon and, for whatever reason, they failed to deliver it.

Duane Fry:

Their loss is the SWF’s gain!

Jerry Eisen:

Absolutely!

The Truth© vs. The Underwater Union

“Savage Muscle”

MATCH TYPE:
Standard Tag Team Match; First Pinfall/Submission

TITLE(S) ON THE LINE:
SWF World Tag Team Championships

TIME LIMIT:
N/A

REFEREE:
Darren Smith

AT RINGSIDE:
Jungle Lord and Zim-ME w/ Squeeky McClean and John Greed
Ninja Turtle and Angel Fish w/ Lobster Warrior and Dolphin Boy

The Underwater Union tries their best to rile up the crowd early on. Their lovable, charismatic, if not over-the-top, demeanor tends to excite the kiddos & bring a slight snicker to the adult population. Sadly, even with all the joy in the world, the villainous Truth aren’t preoccupied with connecting with the SWF Nation. This helps them considerably early on.

Adopting Lobbie’s approach, Dolphin Boy has moments where he shines; however, often relies too heavily on crowd interaction. A post-move celebration is one thing but it seems almost to come after almost every sequence. This is a constant unraveling scenario for the Underwater Union as the veteran combo of Greed & McClean swing into momentum by taking advantage of this lack of focus.

There ARE several 2-count falls throughout the match. It feels overtly open from the very start; both teams appearing as equals. At one point, it looks like we MAY have new champions as Lobbie and Dolphin land a dual top-rope splash upon Squeeky. Sadly, to the dismay of the SWF Nation, the pinfall is broken by a last second dive from John Greed.

The openness of the match seems to dig at the Truth. They grow frustrated.

With that frustration, the World Tag Team Champions resort to the same underhanded tactics that have made them infamous in their short tenure atop the tag ranks.

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Jungle_zpsf90a5194.jpg

Muscling on behalf of the Truth

Pulling Dolphin Boy off the apron, a fact that slams his colorfully masked head square upon said apron, Jungle Lord begins to inflict a level of intense damage upon the lovable flier through the use of a ringside power-attack.

Lobbie tries to make the save; however, before he can, he’s jumped from behind by John Greed. In this scenario, he drops the “Oceanic One” with a snap reverse DDT.

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Ninja_zpsba7665a2.jpghttp://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Angel_zps9c564ba8.jpg

Boom! Pow! Zoom!

Ninja Turtle and Angel Fish spring into action; however, their impact is only minor. If anything, it DOES allow Dolphin Boy to get away, but the damage is already done to the young flier.

Ultimately, as Dolphin Boy is thrown into the match as the new legal man, forced to do so by John Greed (grabbing Lobbie’s lifeless hand and tagging the shoulder of the Dolphin Boy as he lays on the apron), the ringside area becomes Truth-dominated. Ninja Turtle is KO’ed by a running closeline from Jungle Lord. Meanwhile, Angel Fish, despite acting tough at points, is backed-off from the action by a smirking Zim-ME.

Back in the ring, Dolphin Boy attempts to fight back despite being overrun. That said, it doesn’t do very much. Before you know it, John Greed and Squeeky McClean work as one to drop the comical Boy with their newfound tag team finisher – “The Word…”.

There’s no kicking out at this point. Dolphin Boy is motionless on the canvas. Meanwhile, the Truth looks overtly strong; devious, villainous, and underhanded… but strong none the less.

The Truth via pinfall

“The Word…” (Double Rock Bottom)

GRADE:

Duane Fry:

That turned into a mess rather quickly.

Jerry Eisen:

That’s EXACTLY the kind of match that bodes well for McClean & Greed.

Peter Michaels:

HELL, that’s their game-plan; turn every match into a damn cluster.

Duane Fry:

As we’ve seen many times before, the Truth fights like a pack of hyenas. You NEVER get just one or two of them. In this case, as always really, Jungle Lord and Zim-ME really make the difference here. Jungle Lord more so. Dolphin Boy was thrown around the ringside area like a rag doll!

Jerry Eisen:

I’m shocked that Darren Smith didn’t call for the bell there…

Duane Fry:

He didn’t catch it for a bit and, when he did, I think he was looking to let the action go a little. It’s a championship match. No one wants to see a big time match end in a DQ; especially on PPV. There’s a little leeway when it comes to a PPV and the Truth abused that here tonight.

Peter Michaels:

Rules are rules; dammit. ‘Bout time we get BACK to that.

Duane Fry:

Take it up with the boss; good luck with that…

[snickers]

Peter Michaels:

Yea, I don’t see that happenin’…

CONTRACT SIGNING

INVOLVED:
Ms. Chase, Bruce the Giant, Marat Khoklov and ????

“Stab heard round the world…”

[We return from a short promotional break, hyping the impending arrival of “Supreme Challenge 33” set for next month, in which to see Establishment member and high-powered, ice-cold, sports agent, Ms. Chase standing within the ring. Upon the canvas of the squared circle is a black rug of sorts; encompassing the whole area. Meanwhile, a large folding table rests in the center of the ring. On either side of said table stands two oversized chairs; specifically purchased for this event in which to withstand the immense weight of who will eventually sit on them.]

[Furthermore, on said cloaked table, there appears to be a document of sorts positioned upon a black clipboard. Two pens are located at its side.]

[With a microphone already in hand, Ms. Chase looks out upon the booing crowd with a sense of stoic resolve. The emotionless stare of hers tells of a lady who is truly devoid of relating with others on a personal level. She’s more machine-like than human being in a way.]

[Ms. Chase]:
I have been instructed to oversee the contract signing between Marat Khoklov and Bruce the Giant.
[Pauses]
At “Supreme Challenge 33” the wrestling world will witness a true ‘Dream Match’ scenario as these gigantic competitors will square off for the first time in their careers. It’s long been hyped; however, ONLY our great leader, Rich Money, was powerful enough to make it a reality.
[Crowd boos]
Due to the iconic nature of this match, and the obvious revenue that it will inspire, Mr. Money has put forth a plan to safeguard his investment. This contract…
[Ms. Chase holds it up to the crowd]
Will legally lock the two competitors into the match and make it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to back out.
[Pauses]
With that in mind, let’s proceed as it pertains to securing that this dream becomes a Rich-Money-made reality…

[Ms. Chase drops the microphone at her side as the sound of Bruce the Giant’s classic theme is heard radiating throughout Alabama Field Row. In doing so, the SWF Nation in attendance leaps to their feet with excitement. While certainly in the twilight of his career, his sheer size and laundry-list of accomplishments truly projects the towering giant as a spectacle to be seen.]

[barely making it through the “Supreme Gate”, ducking his head downward in which to do so, the “Immortal” Giant steps out onto the steel stage. His face is weathered, his body is stiff and lethargic, but his presence is the epitome of grandiose.]

The Giant overtakes Alabama!

Duane Fry:
He hast to actually DUCK as he walks through the “Supreme Gate”. Only HE and Kohklov can claim to have to do that.

Jerry Eisen:
I’ll NEVER get used to that sight…

[slowly stomping toward the squared circle, almost limping as he shuffles his feet in an awkward fashion, the big man has certainly seen better days. That said, it doesn’t stop him from continuing forth. In his generation, wrestlers competed until they couldn’t get out of a wheelchair and/or hospital bed. While Bruce looks closer to that image than the antithesis, there’s no sign of the big man slowing down entirely; at least not professionally.]

[stepping over the top rope in a painfully slow fashion, Bruce comes to a halt on one side of the table. As is customary, there’s no real sign of celebration from the giant. He’s all business; no nonsense to say the least.]

[As his music fades into the background, it’s ultimately overtaken by the dominating theme of one Marat Khoklov.]

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Khoklov_zpsef4d2d10.jpg

(RMD) Russian of Mass Destruction!

Duane Fry:
Here comes the “Russian of Mass Destruction”…

Jerry Eisen:
I never thought I’d say this but… I think he makes Bruce the Giant look small!!

Peter Michaels:
It’s the muscle mass. Khoklov is a bowling ball; standin’ over 7 feet tall.

Duane Fry:
Seriously… He’s a FREAK. I don’t know WHERE he came from but it wasn’t from a human being. He HAD to have come from a LAB or something…

[Much like his gigantic counterpart, Khoklov has to duck his head underneath the top of the “Supreme Gate” as he stomps his way onto the steel stage. Their sheer size dictates that it’s needed. That said, this is where their comparisons end.]

[While both giants by definition, Khoklov’s body type is MUCH different. Whereas Bruce possesses more of a thick-body frame, no longer withholding the same kind of muscle mass as before, Khoklov is a spitting image of roided out glory. While never officially stated, or discovered for that matter, Marat looks like genetic testing gone right as it pertains to muscle mass. He’s tall, intensely muscular, and appears like a true reality-based representation of the Hulk.]

[Plus, due to the relative younger age, in comparison to Bruce, Khoklov shows little to no sign of physical decline. His aggressive stomp shows no signs of a limp; no stagger whatsoever. He’s a theoretical tank in a way; powerful, slow but strong moving.]

[As he steps over the top rope as well, projecting a monstrous snarl upon his face, the “Russian of Mass Destruction” comes to a halt on the opposite side of the table as Bruce.]

[The two stare one another down; neither moving an inch. It’s a classic ‘alpha-stare-d0wn’ situation as Ms. Chase returns to the microphone once again.]

[Ms. Chase]:
Gentlemen… I expect that we can facilitate this contract signing in a civil manner?

[Neither man responds to Ms. Chase. Instead, they continue to stare upon one another.]

[While there are oversized chairs present, neither look interested in sitting either.]

[Ms. Chase]:
It’s an absolute rarity that two men of YOUR size will compete in ONE wrestling ring. Truthfully, this marks the 1st time in history that such a match has ever taken place.
[Pauses]
Knowing this, Mr. Money’s lawyers has drafted up an official contract in which to ensure that this match WILL take place at “Supreme Challenge 33”.
[Pauses]
As the contract states, IF one of you is UNABLE to fulfill your contractual duties, a hefty lawsuit WILL be filled… and termination from the SWF a given.
[Pauses]
Do you understand these details?

[Again, neither Bruce nor Marat responds to Ms. Chase. Instead, they remain locked in a tense stare-down; some 6-feet apart and a table in between.]

[Ms. Chase]:
In fear of backing out, Mr. Money has ALSO informed me that you, Bruce the Giant, must be the 1st participant to SIGN the contract.
[Pauses]
Mr. Money believes that you could generate ‘cold feet’ and ultimately ruin the situation at hand. There is a pen… and the contract ahead of you on the table… Please sign…

[bruce the Giant looks over at Ms. Chase for a second as she states the ‘cold feet’ statement. His stern gaze would send anyone reeling; however, Ms. Chase, powerful in her own manner, does not seem to flinch.]

[slowly, Bruce looks back over to Marat as the “Russian of Mass Destruction” begins to chuckle to himself; snarling at the same time. It looks as though he’s laughing directly at the LEGENDARY Bruce.]

[Once again, slowly, due to a repeatedly injured back, Bruce slowly bends over and grabs the pen in his hand. It looks tiny compared to the club that he calls his hand.]

[He begins to scribble away and, within seconds, it appears that he’s done. T he crowd pops at this notion.]

[Ms. Chase]:
Excellent. Marat… It’s your turn…

[bruce slowly straightens his back once again. The act is most likely painful; however, the Giant doesn’t show it upon his face. He remains stern in his gaze.]

[Marat slowly bends down and grabs the pen as well; however, instead of singing, he’s shown lunging forward and stabbing the end of the pen square on Bruce’s forehead.]

Duane Fry:
OHHHH!!!!

Jerry Eisen:
HOLY!!

Duane Fry:
Khoklov just stabbed that pen straight between Bruce’s eyes!!

Jerry Eisen:
The FORCE of that blow… There could be something VERY wrong with Bruce here! What a SICKENING sight!

[The crowd boos like crazy as Bruce slowly staggers away for a second; grabbing onto the nearby ring rope to keep himself upright as he covers his head. Seconds later, Marat is shown tossing the table over the side of the ring, almost taking out Ms. Chase in the process, as he stomps toward Bruce.]

[A heavy handed strike to the back and then an elbow to the back of Bruce’s head sends the giant tumbling to the canvas. Marat’s sheer power, along with the unexpected strike with the pen, is enough to catch the LEGENDARY Bruce off the guard.]

[Khoklov starts to stomp his gigantic feet square upon the equally gigantic frame of the Giant as he lay upon the canvas. Each stomp shakes Bruce’s body in the process. Meanwhile, as the camera man zooms in to capture the action, we now see that Bruce is actually bleeding from his forehead. The pen strike from Marat had so much force behind it that it’s cut the big man open.]

Duane Fry:
No shock here… Bruce the Giant is bleeding!

Peter Michaels:
‘Aint no way he wouldn’t be. He was damn-near shanked…

[As the crowd boos like crazy, Khoklov continues his stomping spree. Each and every strike is so powerful that Bruce has NO chance of returning to his feet so long as such an attack is taking place.]

[That said, seconds later, the cavalry comes to potentially save the day…]

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Faith_zps4f65db89.jpghttp://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Gilmore_zps8fcc427d.jpghttp://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Atomic_zps730c27da.jpghttp://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/BigCat_zps8f8af805.jpg

Fearless Four making good on their word!

[speeding out of the back, the ‘Fearless Four’ overtake the ringside area at different times. More or less, it looks as though they’ve come from separate areas backstage to work as one. Not to mention, someone like Atomic can run MUCH faster than Faith can.]

Duane Fry:
THE FOUR… THE FOUR… THE FEARLESS FOUR!!!

Jerry Eisen:
FAITH… ATOMIC… GILMORE… BIG CAT… THEY’RE COMING!!

Peter Michaels:
The Russian’s got a fight on his hands now!

[As they hit the ring, Khoklov spins around to engage them.]

[At first, Khoklov looks absolutely powerful. He’s sending EVERYONE flying with body-crushing strikes. A punch here, elbow there, head-butt after, and the ‘Fearless Four’ are sent around the ring like a bunch or ragdolls. Even Big Cat Brandon, the biggest of the four, struggles to put Khoklov anywhere NEAR his heels.]

[That said, overtime, that’s exactly what happens. Behind the power of Big Cat Brandon, the ‘Fearless Four’ gain an upper-hand on Khoklov; all attacking him at the SAME time now. Kicking, punching, and doing whatever it takes, the ‘Fearless Four’ eventually knock the “Russian of Mass Destruction” from the ring with a collective closeline of sorts.]

[Khoklov crashes to the lightly padded ringside floor in a thunderous heap.]

Duane Fry:
BOOM!!! Down…Goes… Khoklov!!

Peter Michaels:
We’re lucky he didn’t snap the top rope on his way over…

Jerry Eisen:
The ‘Fearless Four’ just closelined Khoklov from the ring!

[Ms. Chase, sensing the situation at hand, slowly exits the ring and is eventually shown pleading with Marat to ‘stay out of the ring’.]
[/i]

Duane Fry:
It looks like Ms. Chase has orders to keep Khoklov out of the ring in this case. I’m sure it’s Money trying to protect his asset.

Peter Michaels:
I don’t know if that pint-sized lady’s goin’ to be able to keep Khoklov from the ring. She better have somethin’ pretty crazy to say to keep him away.

[As Khoklov back-peddles up the rampway, barking, roaring, pissed off as HELL, with Ms. Chase in front of him, attempting to talk some ‘sense into him’ in a monotone fashion, we witness the sight of the ‘Fearless Four’ now standing united with the bloodied Bruce the Giant.]

[staring through the blood, roaring with anger, Bruce the Giant looks to be ready for the fight of a lifetime. He’s angry; Khoklov MAY have just awoken a sleeping giant of sorts.]

[The segment ultimately ends with the ‘Fearless Four’ standing alongside Bruce as he and Khoklov stare at one another from afar.]

GRADE:
B

Duane Fry:

You know… I don’t think Khoklov signed the contract. Actually, no… No he didn’t. He struck Bruce with the pen and then flipped the table over the ropes. Marat Khoklov DID NOT sign the “Supreme Challenge 33” contract to face Bruce the Giant.

Jerry Eisen:

I wonder what that means?

Peter Michaels:

They’ll get ‘em to sign it some other time. That wasn’t the plan here. It was a trap all along, boys. Plain and simple.

Duane Fry:

You think Rich Money put this together to give Khoklov the chance to attack?

Peter Michaels:

Nothing happens around here without Money’s influence. This is another example of it.

Jerry Eisen:

Bruce is losing a good amount of blood here. Someone should get him sown up quick.

Duane Fry:

Good luck trying to get THAT to happen.

BACKSTAGE PROMO W/ ATTACK

INVOLVED:
Jack Bruce and ????

“Carrying out orders”

[We transition to the parking lot area in which to see the rebellious rocker himself, and former SWF employee, Jack Bruce walking up to the arena. Sporting a sly smirk, walking with a lazy but cool presentation, the SWF ICON doesn’t appear to be all that fearful of the never-ending restraining order against him. This order dictates that he cannot be within 100 feet of any SWF event. Well, he’s breaking it again.]

Duane Fry:
You can’t keep a crazy man down, I guess.
[Laughs]
Jack has a vendetta against Money and how could you blame him? Even WITH the fact that he no longer works here, that hasn’t stopped the rebellious rocker from crashing the party once again!

Jerry Eisen:
There’s no security team either… It looks like Jack MAY actually have a chance to get INTO the arena tonight. Could you imagine? It’s been over a month since we LAST saw him within an SWF event.

Duane Fry:
Pretty weird given the fact that he doesn’t even work here anymore… So says Money.

[shockingly enough, there’s no security staff, as there has been, standing outside. Whether they’re on a break or no longer employed due to the threat of Bruce likely being ‘over’, there doesn’t appear to be any sort of resistance present. In that case, there’s no one stopping Bruce from lazily walking up to the large garage door of the loading dock.]

[slamming the side of his fist against said door, still in a lazy fashion, it’s apparent that Bruce is looking for a way in.]

[Jack Bruce]:
Oh, Yoo-Hooooo…
[slams his fist again; a few times]
Is there ANYONE in there?!?!

[bruce snickers to himself as he takes a step back for a second. C*cking his head to the side, his long 80’s metal hair dangling on one side in the process, Jack looks to be in the mood to cause some chaos.]

[Jack Bruce]:
Ya already changed the locks?
[Laughs]
Plus… Where’s that ugly-mug security team?
[snickers; turns his tone to sound comically sad]
… And I was lookin’ for a good ole’ fashion fight.
[Pauses]
What the HELL!!?!?!

[bruce snickers again as he steps forward and slams the side of his fist on the garage door again. This time though, the door actually ascends…]

[slowly, the door opens upward; showing a muscular freak to be standing on the other side. As it gradually ascends, we go from witnessing tree-trunk sized quads all the way up to a stiffly built upper-body.]

[Jack Bruce]:
Well SOMEONE’S been in the gym…

[As the door finally ascends high enough, we see that this figure is none other than the equally smirking Hammer.]

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o702/Supreme_Epic/ToT/Angles/Hammer_zpsd286382b.jpg

Stop… Wait for it… HAMMER time!

Duane Fry:
Oh… THIS is why there isn’t a security team…

Jerry Eisen:
Money KNEW he was coming. He’s placed Hammer on his trail!

Peter Michaels:
It was Hammer who beat the livin’ snot out of him 2 weeks back when he tried to walk into an SWF event. Bruce didn’t make it past the loadin’ dock there. It looks like this is the plan again tonight.

Duane Fry:
It WAS a good plan, as you said, last time. I mean, Hammer beat Jack like a sack of potatoes…

Jerry Eisen:
Jack BETTER be ready for a fight… because THAT’S what he’s getting here.

[bruce snickers to himself once again; nodding his head as he runs his right hand lazily through his hair. Meanwhile, Hammer stands overtly confident with his arms crossed before him.]

[Jack Bruce]:
Well… I was hoping for Money but…
[shrugs; smirks]
You’ll HAVE to do!

[Jack goes from his lazy stance into full-on action; lunging forward and landing a leaping strike square across Hammer’s jaw. It sends the big-man reeling for a second; however, not for very long. Before you know it, Eisen’s “Insurance Policy” proves his overwhelming strength with a heavy-knee strike to Bruce’s stomach; holding his upper-body to add further damage.]

[Jack drops to his knees in pain; however, still smirking. That said, that smirk would go away seconds later as Hammer lands a double-axe-handle-strike square upon his head while standing over him.]

Duane Fry:
OH!

Jerry Eisen:
The POWER of Hammer is INSANE!

[Jack crashes to the cement floor below as Hammer kicks him once in the stomach… then another time… then another time… Each strike sending Jack flying back in the process. Before you know it, he’s done it enough in which to remove him from the arena. Seconds later, as Jack rolls over onto his stomach, lying on the blazing concrete of the parking lot, coughing violently, Hammer is shown spinning back around and shutting the garage door behind him.]

[in doing so, he locks Jack Bruce and himself out of the arena. That said, this appears to be the plan. There’s no security team because Hammer was expected to ‘deal with Bruce’ if he were to appear. Thus far, he’s done exactly that as the rebellious rocker is practically coughing up a lung from the repeated heavy-footed kicks to his stomach.]

[Coming out of a nearby door, it looks as though an unnamed referee has entered the scene as well. Seeing this, it appears as though, even WITH Bruce no longer on the roster, that Jack is being set-up for an unsanctioned match against the likes of the POWERFUL… Hammer!]

GRADE:
C+

Jerry Eisen:

Jack’s looking pretty bad right now. I think he just coughed up a little blood…

Peter Michaels:

That could be the alcohol comin’ back up…

Duane Fry:

True…

[Laughs]

He’s got a fight on his hands it seems though. Hammer has been a man possessed since shaking up with Eisen. He really IS proving himself to be a real threat around here in the SWF.

Jerry Eisen:

I don’t see this ending well…

Duane Fry:

It never really does…

Peter Michaels:

Well boys, we’ve got ourselves an unsanctioned match with Jack Bruce and Hammer. I mean, ya can’t sanction somethin’ where one of the fighters is NO longer with the company.

Duane Fry:

It won’t go down in the record books but that’s not what this is about. Jack Bruce is back with revenge in mind. Money wants to send him away, publically humiliate him, fire him on national television. Well, Jack’s here to make sure that HE gets the last laugh. He may not even WANT to come back… I don’t know? What we DO know is that, regardless of his intentions that way, his TRUE intent is to get EVEN with his long-time rival.

Jerry Eisen:

He’ll have to get through Hammer first…

Peter Michaels:

That’s a TALL task… but Jack can do it. Just so long he stays focused; that was always his downfall.

Duane Fry:

He looks pretty damn focused to me!

Hammer vs. Jack Bruce

MATCH TYPE:
Unsanctioned Parking Lot Match; Pinfall/Submission

TIME LIMIT:
N/A

REFEREE:
Ric Young

AT RINGSIDE:
N/A

Jack Bruce lands a few quick strikes; however, his momentum is thwarted seconds later as the powerful Hammer regains his composure. A few heavy-handed strikes from the bruising heavyweight sends the rebellious rocker reeling.

Bruce really relies on a scrappy-fighting style. Springing back, diving when he has to, and really ‘getting off his feet’ to add further impact and hopefully abusing said explosiveness to keep the bigger Hammer at bay.

This works pretty well until Hammer catches Bruce in the air at one point; driving his back square into the cement wall of the arena in the process.

This sort of action is entirely what we see throughout. This is NOT a wrestling match but a body-breaking brawl. With this in mind, while Bruce delivers quite a few impactful moments, it’s Hammer who comes out looking ‘really strong’ throughout. His sheer power, and ability to take a punch, bodes rather well for this sort of match.

Hammer would, once again, focus on Bruce’s back as he slams it square into the side of a silver parked car. Slamming his back several times into the passenger side door area of said car, Bruce looks to be in rough shape at the close of this sequence.

Eventually, using the car as a prop, Hammer beats Bruce to the top of it. Climbing up himself, the big man lifts his opponent up onto his shoulders and appears to be within seconds of dropping Bruce with his signature Samoan Drop SQUARE upon the car-top.

Fortunately, for Bruce, the rebellious rocker is able to break-free after a few heavy elbow strikes to the side of Eisen’s “Insurance Policy”.

Seconds later, Bruce swings into desperate action; grabbing a hold of Hammer’s head and dropping downward. In doing so, he hits his signature “New York Minute” square upon the TOP of the parked silver car.

Hammer goes limp; face-down on the car.

Bruce is able to muster up enough energy to roll the big-man over; pinning his opponent atop the dented car.

As expected, Hammer doesn’t kick out of that one. The added stiffness of the car-top proves to be enough to transform the impactful “New York Minute” into an absolute KO-maneuver.

Despite picking up the win though, Bruce looks to be in rough shape. That said, he’s smirking the entire time as each pinfall count is administered; his sweaty hair dangling all over his face during the process.

Jack Bruce via pinfall

Duane Fry:

HOLY!!

Jerry Eisen:

Hammer may have just been knocked into NEXT WEEK!!

Duane Fry:

All in a “New York Minute”, Jack Bruce drops Eisen’s “Insurance Policy” square upon the top of a parked car! Good GOD… What an impact!

Peter Michaels:

Hammer may be seein’ stars right now…

Duane Fry:

While this certainly was an exciting fight, I wonder what this will mean for Jack Bruce legally. I mean, he’s been arrested twice after breaking the restraining order placed upon him by Rich Money; keeping him 100 feet from ANY SWF event. Now, tonight, he breaks it ONCE again. Not to mention, he’s not even part of the SWF roster anymore. Money made that blatantly obvious this past Tuesday night. You know this is going to send shockwaves throughout the SWF and there’s NO WAY that Money lets this stand as it did.

Jerry Eisen:

Maybe… but there’s nothing he can do about it right now. Bruce stormed onto the scene, dropped Eisen’s bodyguard on the top of a car, and looked BETTER than EVER in doing so.

Peter Michaels:

He ‘aint woryin’ about any other company. Jack knows the SWF is the ONLY place he wants to be. Tonight, he proved that by comin’ by once again and, in this go-around, he showed us ALL why he is who he is; a true ICON of the sport.

Duane Fry:

I think I hear sirens…

Jerry Eisen:

Get out of there Jack!!

Duane Fry:

He better or else this could be what ultimately puts him in jail for QUITE some time!

Jerry Eisen:

GO!! Run!! Get out of there!!

BACKSTAGE SKIT

INVOLVED:
Jack Bruce

“Out JUST in time…”

[Jack Bruce slowly slides off of the heavily dented car top; leaving a motionless Hammer to lie alone. That said, as he hits the pavement below, he’s shown arrogantly dusting himself off in a show of comical defiance. A hair toss comes next as the rebellious rocker smirks toward the nearby camera and says…]

[Jack Bruce]:
Now THAT’S rock-n-roll….

[An arrogant stint of laughter follows as Bruce quickly spins away from the lens; lightly strutting away in an overtly confident fashion.]

[The sound of sirens can be heard radiating in the background. As they grow closer, Bruce doesn’t seem to fret all that much. His strut still remains rather slow in nature.]

[That said, as he turns a corner, stepping around a dumpster in the process, a sleek black limo is shown speeding to his side. It eventually comes to a drastic halt and Bruce flings the door open at a relaxed pace. Slowly sliding in, the rebellious rocker turns back to look at the camera lens one last time before shutting the door. As he does so, smirking from ear-to-ear, Bruce relays one last message…]

[Jack Bruce]:
‘Aint nobody holdin’ ME down… I’m Jack… Motha-[CENSOR]… Bruce! YEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!

[With a rebel yell, Bruce flings his hair back and slams the back passenger door of the limo shut. Seconds later, the limo speeds off and eventually exits the parking lot by taking a drastic left turn. From the right, the opposite side, 3 squad cars come speeding onto the scene; however, it’s too late. Jack’s already gone.]

JACK… MOTHA…

Jerry Eisen:

Hey… Hey…

[Laughs]

There ARE kiddos watching…

Duane Fry:

Ohh…

[Pretends to pout in a way]

Jack gets to have ALL the fun…

Jerry Eisen:

It looks like Jack Bruce isn’t willing to walk away quietly, folks.

Duane Fry:

IF at all!!

Peter Michaels:

Police on his trail… knockin’ out bodyguards… attacking security guards…

[Chuckles]

What the HELL is this; ‘rasslin or some tailor park theatre?

Duane Fry:

It’s Jack Bruce; that’s what it is!

Jerry Eisen:

Yea, I’m afraid Duane’s right there.

[Laughs]

Jack has ALWAYS walked at the beat of his own drum. This couldn’t be ANY more evident of that.

Duane Fry:

Rich Money can only keep him away SO long. Sooner or later, Jack’s going to FORCE his way back into an SWF arena…. And when he does…

[Laughs]

Fireworks are SURE to follow!

Jerry Eisen:

That is if he doesn’t get arrested before hand…

Duane Fry:

Meh… Doesn’t seem to faze the man.

Jerry Eisen:

Another restraining order break and he COULD end up in jail for QUITE some time. As it is, he’s got a court date ahead of him. It MAY be all written for him. If he’s behind bars, it’s certainly going to faze him!

Duane Fry:

Meh… He’ll find a way out. He always does… He’s Jack…. MOtha…

Jerry Eisen:

Duane!

Duane Fry:

BACKSTAGE SKIT W/ ARGUMENT

INVOLVED:
The Establishment

“You who walks alone”

[We transition backstage once again in which to witness an apparent Establishment meeting high above the action in a Money-personalized suite. Decorated in a modern fashion, the room feels regal yet contemporary. More or less, it feels and looks like a space occupied by the social and intellectual elite.]

[Positioned around the room, the members of the Establishment, sans Hammer, are shown locked in their own personal state. While they are combined as one, the group truly feels like individuals all residing underneath the immense weight of Rich Money’s influence and power. With that in mind, there’s never truly an air of comfort with this faction. It’s more of, as we’ve touched upon before, a barnacle/boat scenario.]

[As Money sits on the edge of his desk facing outward, his hands residing in his neatly tailored grey dress pants, the ‘Supreme Dictator’ looks around the room with a an air of superiority radiating hard. The smug smirk upon his face, the typical expression of the powerful businessman, only strengthens this notion.]

[Rich Money]:
The ‘Fearless Four’…
[Pauses; smirking]
Who came up with THAT stroke of genius?
[sarcastic in his tone]
Truly… Have we waltzed into some sort of child’s comic book? Should I be afraid that Atomic is going to shoot lasers out of his eyes… Gilmore turn into the Hulk?

[Money puts for a dismissive laugh, as any elite person would in this case, as Eric Eisen shares in the same response; seated on a black leather couch to his left.]

[Eric Eisen©]:
Good one…

[Money basks in his moment of ‘hilarity’ as the other remaining members stay rather stoic in their presence. Remo, standing in the opposite corner of the room, away from Eisen, has his arms crossed as he leans his muscular frame up against a nearby wall. Meanwhile, Ms. Chase is shown standing directly in front of Money, some 10-feet away, with her arms crossed in her typical cold, emotionless, fashion.]

[Rich Money]:
It’s just another example of the unintelligent nature of our foes.
[Pauses]
Luckily, after tonight, most of them won’t even reside on the roster anymore.

[Ms. Chase]:
Another firing on the horizon? Potentially one of a mass variety?

[Rich Money]:
Oh no…
[Laughs]
Well, at least nothing in the works right now. That could change given the right circumstances.
[Pauses; smirking]
After we demolish the so-called ‘Fearless Four’, again… such an idiotic name, many of them will find permanent residence in a hospital bed. Without the ability to work, I’ll be ‘forced’…
[sarcastic in tone]
to eventually cut costs and relieve them of their duties as a Supreme Superstar.
[Evil smirk forms]
No need in the SWF paying hospital bills for those who aren’t of a benefit to me anymore.

[The room grows somewhat quiet at first. It’s as if the mood within the Establishment is already starting to turn. Rich Money’s abusive ways, even to his own faction-mates, may be starting to create a ‘hostile environment’. That said, no one speaks up. If anything, Eisen actually responds in which to add further praise to the ‘Supreme Dictator’; kissing up to keep his spot.]

[Eric Eisen©]:
They’d be a drain on the system. Who needs ‘em?

[Rich Money]:
Exactly.
[Pauses]
To get to that point though, I need to ensure that we not only WIN this match but that it ends with every one of them beaten beyond repair.
[Pauses]
That’s where Vengeance comes in…

[The room, once again, grows rather awkward for a second. That said, Money still stands defiantly proud; smirking.]

[Ms. Chase]:
So we are progressing with Vengeance as the primary option as #4?

[Rich Money]:
Of course we are. Nothing has changed.

[Ms. Chase]:
At risk of sounding like a broken record, did he not leave us with a disadvantage on Tuesday night? He had the invitation and did nothing with it.

[Money sighs for a second; looking up at the ceiling and then back down in which to lock eyes with Ms. Chase. Slowly, he returns to his feet, away from the light perch he had on the front of his desk, and shuffles toward the ice-cold businesswoman in the process. That trademark smug smirk never subsides as he walks.]

[As he comes to Ms. Chase, he ultimately places his right hand on her shoulder. In doing so, while smirking, he looks her straight in the eyes and delivers an equally ice-cold message from behind the smoke-screen that is said smirk.]

[Rich Money]:
What have we already talked about, Emma?

[He runs his hand across the side of her face to ultimately put a strand of her hair back behind her ear; falling out moments before. He continues to smirk during this process; however, it all feels rather uncomfortable. Even Ms. Chase, the consummate ice-cold figure, looks to be somewhat uneasy about the closeness of their stance.]

[Rich Money]:
That’s nothing for you to worry about.
[Pauses]
Do you understand me?

[Ms. Chase]:
Yes sir…

[she relays in a monotone fashion; looking past Money, directed at the wall in front of her, the entire time.]

[Rich Money]:
Besides… Vengeance WILL listen to me.
[smirks]
He always does…

[Money returns his hand to his pocket; spinning back around in which to walk back to his desk. In doing so, it looks as though Ms. Chase exhales slightly; trying to regain a sense of ease after what just happened.]

[Eric Eisen©]:
Then WHY did he practically choke the LIFE out of me…

[From his seated position, sprawled out in a lazy fashion, Eisen relays this last statement. It’s done so in a manner that is supposed to be ‘under his breath’ but loud enough for others to hear. It’s a passive-aggressive approach to getting your point across. All the while, as he says this, he doesn’t even make eye contact with anyone; looking off to a nearby wall.]

[The statement seems to ring a chord with Money.]

[stopping in his tracks, Money turns and slowly looks over to Eisen. That smug smirk is no longer present. It’s slowly faded into that of a stern gaze. His body language tells of a man who has been caught off guard and is ultimately pissed about it. Meanwhile, Eric continues to look away from Money; adding to the passive-aggressive nature of the statement.]

[Rich Money]:
I’m sorry… Do YOU have something to say?

[Eric Eisen©]:
No, nevermind. It was just a joke…

[Money slowly smirks; as does Eisen. That said, this smirk was only temporary on Money’s part. He quickly returns to a more stern gaze.]

[Rich Money]:
‘So funny’…
[sarcastic tone]
Any OTHER jokes in that little head of yours?

[Eric contorts his face, pulling his nose up and parsing his lips in an angry fashion. That said, he doesn’t say a word. He continues to look away.]

[Rich Money]:
I don’t have a joke for you but how about a riddle?

[Money pauses; staring down Eisen. That said, Eric has only now turned his eyes to look at the ‘Supreme Dictator’. The seated to standing scenario makes Money appear as strong as ever. That said, Eric projects an air much like a snotty brat of sorts.]

[Rich Money]:
What’s loud, obnoxious and no longer in the “Warzone Cell” match?

[Eisen’s eyes grow larger; seeming like he knows what’s coming next. He attempts to reason with the ‘Supreme Dictator’ but it’s too late.]

[Eric Eisen©]:
Rich…

[Rich Money]:
Nope. It’s YOU, Eric.
[Pauses]
You’re out…

[Ms. Chase]:
Rich…

[Rich Money]:
I don’t want to hear it…

[Money snaps his head to look at Ms. Chase. In doing so, it’s like he’s their authoritative father or something. Knowing this, neither really step out of line. They KNOW what that would mean for them…]

[Rich Money]:
We’re better served to find someone who WON’T second guess my decisions.
[Pauses]
Someone who I don’t have to wonder if their priorities are out of whack…

[Eric Eisen©]:
Rich… I was just saying that I don’t know if he can be trusted. His hand was literally around my neck; I thought I was going to pass out.

[Rich Money]:
I don’t care. My decisions are final. Vengeance WILL be at our side. I’m confident in that. You, on the other hand, won’t be anywhere NEAR the ‘Cell. Instead, I’ve got an idea…
[smirks]
There’s someone who’s creeping up on us; causing a little trouble as of late. Now, I know that my hitman of sorts will get the job done in the end but, here tonight, the ‘hit’ needs a little roughing up.
[Pauses]
You’re OUT of the ‘Cell but that doesn’t mean you’re NOT in the ring tonight.

[Ms. Chase]:
May I inquire WHO he’ll be wrestling against?

[Eric Eisen©]:
Yea… That’d be good to know…

[Rich Money]:
No. You’ll find out soon enough.
[Pauses; smirks]
Let’s just hope that you can prove your worth to me tonight. I’d hate to see you follow up this little blunder with an even BIGGER one in the ring.

[Eric Eisen©]:
What are you saying?

[Rich Money]:
Exactly what I want to say…
[Pauses]
YOU know what I’m saying…

[Rich and Eric exchange in a tense stare-down for a second. That said, Eisen looks weak the entire time as he remains seated in his lazy, sprawled out, fashion. Meanwhile, Money hovers over the top of him, a few feet away, with his chest puffed out in an alpha fashion.]

[All the while, the true alpha, Remo, is shown unmoved in the corner. He’s still standing with his arms crossed, leaning against the nearby wall, as his gaze remains locked and emotionless.]

[Rich Money]:
Don’t let me down a 2nd time tonight, Eric.
[Pauses]
I don’t take kindly to failure…

[With that, the segment at hand comes to a close. That said, before doing so, we witness the sight of Rich Money putting forth a lingering stare; adding a sense of intimidation to Eric. Meanwhile, Eisen has turned his gaze away from Money; obviously the submissive one in this scenario.]

GRADE:
B+

Duane Fry:

Trouble in the Establishment…

Jerry Eisen:

I’ve NEVER seen someone cut Eric in half like that. ‘Pops couldn’t even do that.

Duane Fry:

That’s because your Dad loves Eric as he does you as well. Slip ups, attitude, all of that stuff, Eric has a longer leash with Richard [Eisen] than he has with Money. In the modern day, Money-led, SWF, the Eisen name doesn’t carry the same kind of weight that it once did. It doesn’t give you the same kind of privileges that Eric’s accustomed to.

Peter Michaels:

It’s ya brother’s mouth that always gets him in trouble.

Jerry Eisen:

Don’t I know about it.

Duane Fry:

Well, Eric is, I guess, OUT of the “Warzone Cell” match. Who will go up in his place? As of right now, we ONLY know that Money & Remo will be walking into the ‘Cell as members of Team Establishment. Who will the other two be? Will Vengeance be one of them? SO many questions…

Jerry Eisen:

SO many questions is right!

Duane Fry:

Also, who has Rich Money booked Eric Eisen against as a replacement match tonight?

[Commotion can be heard off-microphone from the commentary team]

Duane Fry:

Ladies and gentlemen, my production manager has just announced to me that this impromptu match HAS been officially put in place by Rich Money. The other competitor has been notified of the addition and it’s coming to you… NEXT!

Jerry Eisen:

Talk about fast acting!

Duane Fry:

I wonder WHO it will be?

Part II:

Coming Thursday Night

Ladron Del Alma · July 31, 2013

Awesome stuff EV! I don't care what the game says, that Chord promo was AWE... wait for it... SOME!

Big Roguey · July 31, 2013

Hot damn, that grade for Kris Cage and Rocky Idol was a surprise. Any chemistry notes there?

Rickymex · July 31, 2013

It's always fun to see the interactions between a villain and an even bigger villain. The fact that even Emma Chase is a little afraid of Rich Money really puts Money as a totally evil man.
