EPW Intercontinental Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Frankie Perez

If either Ring General interferres, they will be stripped of the US Tag Titles

- I'm sticking with Dozer to keep the title, but he don't need to help to get DQ'ed. Perez with a moral victory but doesn't claim the belt.

 

Matthew and Greg Keith vs Kirk Jameson and Hugh de Aske

- Make the new signings look strong in their debut.

 

Darryl Devine vs Citizen X

Winner will be No.1 Contender to the EPW Intercontinental Title

- Citizen X underwhelms me in this run. Bring in E.M.M. Moe... now THERE was a worke.r

 

Ford Gumble vs Rhino Umaga w/ Carl Batch

- Angry Umaga vents his frustration upon a derelict ford.

 

EPW US Tag Team Titles Ring Generals © vs Western Alliance w/ Katie Cameron

- Z as much said the Generals were looking to have a lengthy reign.

- To (mis)quote Eric Tyler, "Pay your dues young man, pay 'em!"

- Next in line to face the Generals.

 

American Cobras vs Canadian Lumberjacks

- Axes... good fer chopping wood n' fer chopping cobras.

[3rdStringPG]

EPW Intercontinental Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Frankie Perez

- P-Dawg/Kill Switch will put up a good fight, but won't win the title.

 

Matthew and Greg Keith vs Kirk Jameson and Hugh de Aske

- They're not wearing ant masks or Parts Unknown masks as they are in other diaries. Therefore, they'll be kept strong in their debut.

 

Darryl Devine vs Citizen X

Winner will be No.1 Contender to the EPW Intercontinental Title

- Not too impressed with Citizen X either.

 

Ford Gumble vs Rhino Umaga w/ Carl Batch

- Never been impressed with Ford Gumble. From the name, the wrestling style to the usual gimmick...I'd rather watch paint dry.

 

EPW US Tag Team Titles Ring Generals © vs Western Alliance w/ Katie Cameron

- Ditto. The Ring Generals' reign continues with this defense.

EPW Intercontinental Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Frankie Perez

If either Ring General interferres, they will be stripped of the US Tag Titles

Bad experiences with Perez ( not in the ring, just that he never stays)

 

Matthew and Greg Keith vs Kirk Jameson and Hugh de Aske

They are the most overused and overhyped new duo in Cverse for a reason

 

Darryl Devine vs Citizen X

Winner will be No.1 Contender to the EPW Intercontinental Title

Devine should give better matches

 

Ford Gumble vs Rhino Umaga w/ Carl Batch

The 'Gumble as a singles wrestler' experiment continues to fail

 

EPW US Tag Team Titles Ring Generals © vs Western Alliance w/ Katie Cameron

Since apparently they aren't on loan, they should have a decent tag title run

This kills me inside, but you haven't built Youngman up enough to win this yet.

Friday Week 2 February 2014

Don's Basement, Seattle

 

What do you mean, they’re not coming?"

 

"FCW moved their show to the same night as ours….I can see their logic-"

 

"-I know, I know...so Carl, Ernest and Kirk are out?"

 

"Fraid so Darryl."

 

"Damn them…I’m gonna need to rewrite it…get every one backstage in half an hour, I’ll brief them on the new plan…"

 

OOC - Some scheduling problems I'm afraid...sure I picked a day with no other US shows on, can CPU companies move their shows?

 

Show is written should hopefully be posted over the weekend...

American Cobras vs Canadian Lumberjacks

 

Like any team on a losing streak, the Cobras seem very unsure of them selves…and aren’t helped by the absence of Carl Batch. The Lumberjacks, on the other hand, have nothing to lose. Sensing the Cobras' lack of confidence, they isolate Spillane. Mallroy races into the ring to help his partner…only to clatter into him! Sanders hurls Mallroy to the floor, then he and Josh Jones hit Timber! on a confused Spillane

 

Winner – The Canadian Lumberjacks @5:45 (D-)

 

Backstage, Alanis is in her office, dealing with some paperwork when The Architect barges in, Pacific Title held over his head.

 

Alanis: “What do you want?”

 

Architect: “Answers. Why is THE ARCHITECT not on the card?”

 

Alanis: (irritated) “You’re not on the card because Ernest Youngman is in Puerto Rico. He rang me earlier-“

 

Architect: (cutting Alanis off with a wave of his hand) “Oh, oh so Ernie can’t fight because he’s in Puerto Rico. That’s not a made up place is it? How did he ring you? On an imaginary phone? From his imaginary castle in imaginary Puerto Rico?”

 

Alanis: “I’m going to regret asking, but was there a point to this?”

 

Architect: “Yes – as THE ARCHITECT has no match tonight because my original opponent is scared of me. So THE ARCHITECT demands an Intercontinental Title match!

 

Alanis: “No.”

 

Architect: (outraged)”Why not? THE ARCHITECT is already the champion of the Pacific and THE ARCHITECT! THE ARCHITECT should be the champion of the beautiful land of Intercontinental!”

 

Alanis: “It’s actually America- (sigh) Look there are two reasons why. 1 – you haven’t earned it (Architect raises his hand to object) 2 – Bulldozer will murder you .”

 

Architect: (realisation sinking in)”Defending the Pacific and THE ARCHITECT takes a lot of THE ARCHITECT's time…I will have to decline your offer to face Bulldozer for the Intercontinental Title.”

 

Alanis: “It’s a real shame.”

 

Architect: “Yes. Now I must leave. So long Alanis.”

 

With that, The Architect leaves, Pacific Title still held over his head…(C-)

Old School Reasons vs Rough Diamonds

The Diamonds are simply too much for Old School Reasons. Fuelled by Citizen X’s dogma and a renewed vigour, DDD and Wolfe storm through Morgan and Glenn, finishing Glenn off with a Glistening Bomb.

 

Winner – Rough Diamonds @ 8:28 (D)

 

Backstage, in the trainer’s room Storm Spillane is being checked over by a doctor, Marvel Mallroy bursts into the room.

 

Malloy: “I’m sorry. I’m so so sorr-“

 

Spillane: (groggy) “You should be.”

 

Malloy: “I messed up-“

 

Spillane: “You think? I can’t stand that sleazeball Batch but he’s right – you ain’t taking this seriously.”

 

Malloy: “Carl’s ok…he’s ok. Look, next time I’ll-“

 

Spillane: (waving Malloy away) “Sure, sure next time.” (F+)

 

 

From there we go to EPW catering, where we see a forlorn Alvin Starr slumped over a table

 

Starr: (to himself) “I’ve lost my girl, my band mate…how can life get worse? I don’t know…(looks at jumpsuit to see a huge ketchup stain) Darn it, might have to pawn Betsy to pay the dry cleaning bill for this.”

 

Kaite Cameron comes over, looking for a seat to sit at

 

Katie: “Is this seat taken?”

 

Starr: (perking up) “No, mam.”

 

Katie sits down next to Starr looking at his ruined jumpsuit

 

Katie: “You’ll need something to get that out”

 

Starr: “Maybe those beautiful brown eyes could make…the stain….go away (to self) dammit, Alvin!”

 

Katie: “Yeah, thanks…but my eyes are blue (smiles) I guess that was a compliment?”

 

Starr: “Yes, it was little lady…say, you don’t fancy grabbing a coffee do ya? I was meant to be fighting Devine tonight, but he’s being a coward, made an excuse, something about a no.1 contender’s match-“

 

Katie: “I’d love to, why not? Meet you back here in ten?"

 

Starr: (autopilot) “Not a problem little lady, I can take…you said yes! I’m all shook up! (struts)”

 

Katie backs away, wondering if this was such a good idea….. (E+)

 

 

Main Show

 

Matthew Keith makes his way to the ring, to a shower of boos. Keith mocks the crowd by bowing, then takes a mic

 

Keith: “I’m a Keith…show me some damn respect (crowd boo) save it, peons. I came back to this promotion to show that I was the best, that Kirk Jameson was just a fad, a flash in the pan. I beat him a few months ago…he gets his chance at revenge and where is he? In that godforsaken island hiding from me and my brother. I didn’t come to this dump for no reason-“

 

Keith is cut off by “C’mon C’mon” by The Von Bondies…the theme music of Hugh de Aske!

 

De Aske: “It seems you came to Seattle to cry like a girl! (crowd roars) Last time I saw the Keith sisters, they were jumping me in the back.”

 

Keith: “You show me respect de Aske-“

 

De Aske: “Try earning it! You think you’re owed something because of your name? Well I’m the #5 most famous Belgian, the last house on the left…Hugh de Aske –my ability in the ring is what earns me respect!”

 

Keith: (slow clapping) “Very good. Very good. You keep telling yourself that de Aske.”

 

De Aske: “Why don’t I show you it? Kirk ain’t here tonight so we’re both at a loose end. How bout me vs you one on one?”

 

Keith: (smirks) “Ok de Aske…you can be my warm up for Jameson…"

 

Keith slips out the ring and walks to the back, glaring at de Aske all the way… (D)

EPW US Tag Team Titles Ring Generals vs Western Alliance w/ Katie Cameron

Western Alliance are fired up for their rematch – Wardorf and Staler are overpowered and outwrestled by Heizenger and Svensson respectively. Staler is dragged into the Western Spike, however Wardorf saves him and hurls Heizenger to the floor. The Ring Generals then blast Svensson with General Punishment to retain the gold.

 

Winners – Ring Generals @7:50 (D-)

 

Alanis Devine comes down to the ring to talk about next month’s show, Jet City Rumble 2

 

Alanis: “Thank you for your support over the past year. EPW could not have been a success without you, the fans-“

 

Alanis stops in mid sentence – The Revolution are on their way to the ring! Citizen X, mic in hand, climbs on to the ring apron.

 

X: “Alanis, Alanis, Alanis. All this ‘we love the fans’ stuff is b******t. You know who you should thank? Him.”

 

X grabs Alanis and pulls her onto the ring apron. Before he can attack her, Darryl Devine races down the aisle! Bypassing Wolfe and DDD, Devine trips X on the apron, sending the anarchist to the concrete and allowing Alanis to get away. Unfortuntely, there is no time for Devine to get away – Wolfe and DDD catch up to him and beat him down. A recovered Citizen X stands over the fallen Devine;

 

X: “We meet later Devine. His work will be done…and you will kneel before him!” (E)

Rhino Umaga vs Ford Gumble

Rhino seems lost without Carl Batch at ringside – the devious Batch tends to direct traffic for the Samoan Monster. Gumble is on to this instantly, working on Rhino, never giving him a minute, looking for the quick win. Too quick – his impatience sees him airball a Savate Kick. Rhino recovers and hits his violent lariat, then a Rhino Charge for the win.

 

Winner - Rhino Umaga @ 12:47 (D-)

 

Frankie Perez is backstage at EPW interview point

 

Perez: “I knew it! Knew you couldn’t do it without your insurance policy! Well, tonight your insurance has ran out! It’s one on one now! No shortcuts, no help…just you and the best in the business Frankie Perez for the EPW Intercontinental Title…best of luck…you’ll need it!" (D+)

Darryl Devine vs Citizen X

Hurting from the earlier ambush, Devine has taped ribs, ribs that X targets and works on. Devine manages a brief flurry of offence, which is halted by a lungblower from X. X scales to the top and looks to hit Flaming Anarchy on to the sore ribs – Devine moves! A surprised X hauls himself to his feet, only to get taken out with a Devine Dream Drop! Devine covers, 1 – 2 - 3!

 

Winner – Darryl Devine @12:55 (D)

 

We see a Frankie Perez training montage on screen. Perez sprints on the beach, practises kicks on some sparring partners and chases a chicken around his living room…kicking it through a window upon capture (no chickens were harmed during the filming of this vignette) (D)

 

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/EPW/MatthewKeith_zps5e2f72eb.jpg VS http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/EPW/HughdeAske_zps8757ac55.jpg

 

Matthew Keith vs Hugh de Aske

Keith sees de Aske as a stepping stone to Jameson; his irrational hatred of ‘The Marksman’ blinds him to de Aske’s talents. The Belgian Rebel is a good all rounder and has no regard for his own safety, something Keith learns early on in the match, courtesy of a de Aske plancha.

 

Keith eventually takes control with a dragon screw and begins to focus on de Aske’s legs – in aid of the Proton Lock (Scorpion Deathlock with bridged neck lock) de Aske fades…then catches Keith with a huge enziguri! Keith is out! De Aske goes to the top rope to capitalise…only for Greg Keith to run down and distract him! Arguing with Greg, de Aske doesn’t see Matthew scale the ropes – top rope Neutron Plex! (Head and Arm Suplex) Keith wearily hooks in the Proton Lock for the submission…

 

Winner – Matthew Keith @19:10 ©

 

At the EPW Promo Point, Bulldozer Brandon Smith has some words for Frankie Perez

 

Smith: “So you think my insurance policy is the only reason I’m champ? I won the belt before I hired them, so that disproves your little theory. No, the insurance policy is to stop undeserving contenders, such as yourself, fluking the title. Tonight though, I’m just gonna have to make sure that there are no flukes…” (C-)

EPW Intercontinental Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Frankie Perez

With a level playing field, Perez abandons caution – he doesn’t have to watch his back. A spin kick knocks Bulldozer loopy and a senton splash gets a quick two count. Bulldozer manages to recover on the floor, only to be sent into the guard rail by a Perez baseball slide. Perez goes for the suicide dive – Bulldozer dives out of the way!

 

This leaves Perez a broken mess on the floor…and gives Bulldozer a distinct advantage. Perez is thrown back into the ring and suplexed straight onto his neck. Backbreaker gets two as Bulldozer goes to holds to wear Perez down. However, a backbreaker submission sees Perez kick Bulldozer in the head…With Bulldozer wobbled, Perez attempts a top rope crossbody…Bulldozer catches him! Quickly switching Perez’s weight, Bulldozer executes an inverted piledriver! 1 – 2 – 3!!!

 

Winner - Bulldozer Brandon Smith @28:27 (C+)

Overall – C

Predictions

 

(As they didn't happen, I've not counted The Architect's match or the Keiths vs De Aske/Jameson tag match)

 

1 = 3rdStringPG - 11/14 (6/6)

Dragonmack - 11/14 (5/6)

 

2 = Rickymex - 10/14 (6/6)

 

3 = smwilliams - 9/14 (5/6)

 

4 =Beeker - 8/14 (4/6)

Midnightnick - 8/14 (5/6)

 

5 = Tiberious4 - 4/6 (4/6)

 

6 = Arwink - 3/6 (3/6)

 

So, 3rdStringPG and Dragonmack are leading at this early stage. BTW, Frankie Perez and Bulldozer Brandon Smith have poor chemistry....not a bad couple of matches considering!

Wednesday Week 1 March 2014

Darryl and Alanis' house, Seattle

 

"...so, it's true then?"

 

"Yup, got flown up to CGC, wined and dined, the works. Peak and Huggins were there too, nice guys. Was telling them about the time Jon Jetson stole a mountie's horse so he could ride to Ottawa to pick up a girl...I ever tell you that one?"

 

Several times. Never gets old though. Especially the bit where Jetson gets captured and accuses the horse of betraying him to the mounties....

 

"...so yeah kid, just though I should tell you I won't be at Jet City Rumble. CGC want me starting in a week or so...sorry Darr."

 

I smiled at my new nickname

 

"Don't worry about it, tell J I said hi."

 

"Will do...as I said, sorry I couldn't do this in person-"

 

"Don't worry about it...besides, you need to be near a phone, in case Jetson's lawyer calls?"

 

"That's right...pain in the ass that guy, but he's an old friend, what can ya do?"

 

And, with that, Ed Monton, road agent and story teller supreme, was out of EPW. They had taken my best friend, my road agent....hell, they even got Peak and Huggins from TCW. Who would be next?

Frankie Perez vs Steven Parker (PSW)

- I suspect Perez will be sticking around, but it makes sense to improve the stock of someone from PSW... who isn't part of a rival's nearby promotion. Once EPW can 'stick it to the Coast' Perez might get a better push.

 

ARCHITECT SUPERCHAMPION OF THE ARCHITECT Title The Architect vs Ernest Youngman

- I feel dirty doing this but honestly, already, THE Architect doesn't need THE ASotA Title. Youngman is loads better in the ring, and people want to see the Architect in skits, not the ring. (As much.)

[Tiberious]

EPW Intercontinental Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith © vs Darryl Devine

Bulldozer has looked dominant so far, but I just don't know who's left to challenge him if he loses here. I think Devine winning would set up a number of fresher matchups.

The Keith Brothers sem to be fueding with Jameson, so I don't think either of them will win. If Devine is regaining the title than Rhino Umaga makes sense as a #1 contender. I don't really expect Glenn to be the runner up, but I don't want to have an exact copy of someone else's predictions so I'll take a gamble.

 

Frankie Perez vs Steven Parker (PSW)

Perez lost his title shot, but can rebound from it by beating the visiting Parker.

Jet City Rumble 2

Don's Basement, Seattle - Att 1,661

 

Pre Show

 

Matthew Keith and Greg Keith are at the EPW promo point

 

Matthew: “Jameson! I came back to put you in your place. I wasn’t surprised you had another commitment last month– had you shown up, it would have been your last commitment.”

 

Greg: “Tell him, Matty!”

 

Matthew: “And de Aske? Don’t get involved in my business. I got my reasons to hate Jameson and they’re nothing to do with you!”

 

Greg: “You’re the man, Matty!” (D-)

 

 

We see some footage of Alvin Starr and Katie Cameron’s date from last month…it’s from a cheap burger joint in downtown Seattle. Katie seems happy enough with her tofu burger, while Alvin has the triple cheeseburger…the footage ends when the boom mic falls on the happy couple’s table, spilling drinks all over Katie… (E+)

 

 

Alanis is backstage getting a coffee from catering when The Architect bounds over to her

 

Architect: “THE ARCHITECT has thought about your offer from last month and THE ARCHITECT has accepted it.”

 

Alanis: “Sorry?”

 

Architect: “THE ARCHITECT will face Bulldozer for the Intercontinental Title tonight!”

 

Alanis: “It wasn’t an offer…I was trying to put you off…though Bulldozer would kill you.”

 

Architect: “THE ARCHITECT can handle himself…THE ARCHITECT-“

 

Alanis: “THE ARCHITECT…(to self) now you’ve got me doing it…Look, you already have a match tonight, as does Bulldozer…tell you what, if you win, I’ll think about it.”

 

Architect: “THE ARCHITECT expects his title shot next month.”

 

With that, The Architect grabs a plate of chicken legs and storms off (D+)

ARCHITECT SUPERCHAMPION OF THE ARCHITECT Title The Architect © vs Ernest Youngman

The Architect is still thinking about his potential title shot next month – he starts slowly, allowing Youngman to boss him and dictate the pace. Architect regains control with a knee lift, but as always he’s too focused on applying the Blueprint. Youngman realises this and takes advantage, countering a single leg takedown into a guillotine choke…Architect taps, new champion!

 

Winner – Ernest Youngman @8:01 (C-)

 

Darryl Devine is at the EPW Promo Point

 

Darryl: “I’ve fought to get back to the top. I beat a savage monster in a war, then pinned Citizen X last month, despite his idiot cult attacking me. I’ve come too far for you to stop me Bulldozer. If I can pin you, then I can get back my Intercontinental Title…the title that you stole from me thanks to that stupid Elvis wannabe. Now it’s time I took my title back Bulldozer…now it’s my time.” (D)

 

Bulldozer Brandon Smith is walking to the EPW Promo Point to record his interview about the title match. As he gets to the Promo Point’s door, he freezes.

 

Cameraman: “What’s up?”

 

Bulldozer: “We can’t go in there, there’s someone in there.”

 

Cameraman: “I’ll just ask him to move to another room-“

 

Bulldozer: “He ain’t gonna listen to a geek like you…let’s find another room.”

 

Cameraman: “Why don’t you tell him…Champ?”

 

Smith: (grabbing Cameraman by throat) “Because, he ain’t friggin’ right in the head. You understand? (tightens grip)”

 

Cameraman: (choking) “We’ll…try….Gorilla….”

 

Smith drags the hapless cameraman by his neck around the corner, away from the Promo Point door… (D+)

Frankie Perez vs Steven Parker

Parker is out in a TCW t-shirt – this is his last ‘indie’ appearance before starting with them tomorrow. Perez decides to send him off with some hard chops, but an enziguri is avoided. Parker hits a dropkick, then a DDT for a close fall. A sleeper is applied, as Parker tries to slow the pace…

 

…Perez fights out from underneath, breaking a Parker sleeper with some violent elbows. Parker catches a kick, but Perez spins around…Enziguri!!! Parker slumps to the canvas, allowing Perez to hook in the P-Clutch (Camel Clutch with knee driven into lower back). Parker taps, giving Frankie the win!

 

Winner – Frankie Perez @17:50 (C-)

 

Bulldozer is in the Gorilla position…the camera seems a little shaky, due to Smith’s earlier ‘discussion’ with the cameraman…

 

Smith: “So, Darryl you got another title shot…what a shock. Sure , it’s been a while, but you didn’t beat anyone in my league. That Samoan is as dumb as he is large and X? Please…from what I just saw, he’s just a puppet. If you survive me, then you got some big problems boy…” ©

Jet City Rumble 2

The Jet City Rumble begins in chaos, with everyone brawling! Alvin Starr is first to go (1), hurled over the top by the usually mild mannered Nigel Svensson. Rhino Umaga takes care of the Canadian Lumberjacks (2+3) with a double clothesline. The American Cobras try to gang up on Kirk Jameson, but a miscommunication sees Malloy dropkick Spillane to the floor! (4) Jameson quickly takes care of the shocked Malloy with his own dropkick (5). Other side of the ring, KC Glenn hits Citizen X with Tune Up The Sunshine Band, sending him through the ropes. Glenn looks to capitalise, but DDD comes to his leader’s aid, eliminating Glenn as he looks to pull X back into the ring (6).

 

With a little more space in the ring, the brawling spreads to centre ring. The Ring Generals isolate Ford Gumble, Rhino Umaga hammers away at de Aske and Rough Diamonds beat down Jameson. The eight come together as Wardorf misses a clothesline on Gumble, sending DDD over the top rope by accident! (7) Furious, DDD grabs Wardorf from the floor, which allows Jameson to eliminate him. (8) Gumble cuts off Staler’s attempts to avenge his partner with a Thrust Kick and Jameson dumps him (9). The Keiths jump Jameson , but Heizenger and Svensson makes the save.

 

George Wolfe is next out, courtesy of a Gumble clothesline (10). Thomas Morgan follows, via a Greg Keith backdrop (11) De Aske escapes from Rhino, but is cut down by a Rhino Charge. Rhino Umaga celebrates…then gets hit by The Bullseye! Rhino doesn’t go down, but grabs at the ropes. As he tries to stand up, Jameson and Gumble team up to eliminate him! (12) Meanwhile, Western Alliance beat down the Keiths, but Heizenger airballs a charge and crashes to the floor (13) Svensson fights back, but is distracted by Alvin Starr serenading Katie Cameron on the outside and gets eliminated by a revived Citizen X (14).

 

The final six pair off, with Matthew Keith attacking Jameson, Greg Keith exchanging shots with de Aske and Ford Gumble desperately slugging away at a dazed Citizen X. Gumble and X stagger into the ropes and the Keiths quickly break away to eliminate both men (15 + 16). De Aske and Jameson get the jump on the brothers and battle away, de Aske goes for a cross body on Greg…and misses! Quick suplex to the floor, de Aske is gone! (17). The Keiths double team Jameson and go for the side suplex/knee drop combo…but Jameson elbows out of the suplex! Greg charges and Jameson sidesteps, sending Greg to the floor !(18). Down to two, and a slugfest breaks out, a tired slugfest. Keith is able to counter The Bullseye with a Neutron Plex, but Jameson ducks his clothesline attempt...backdropping the charging Keith out of the ring!

 

Winner – Kirk Jameson @25:29 (D+)

As Jameson celebrates his win, Matthew Keith dives back into the ring and blindsides him with a clothesline! Keith quickly applies the Proton Lock, causing Ref Graveson and EPW crew members to climb into the ring and pull him away… (E+)

EPW Intercontinental Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith © vs Darryl Devine

 

Both men know eacj other well; Devine tries to hit and run, whiile Bulldozer attempts to corner Devine. Devine has Bulldozer backtracking until a missed dropkick leaves him wide open for a big elbow drop.

 

Bulldozer takes control, slamming the smaller Devine to the mat repeatedly. However, an attemped power slam is countered into a reverse DDT by Devine. Devine tries to quickly capitalise with Devine Intervention, but Bulldozer pulls Ref Graveson in the way! Graveson is down, Bulldozer with a clothesline...no, Devine with a kick to the ribs!

 

As Devine looks to finish the match with the Devine Dream Drop, someone charges from the back to the ring...

 

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/EPW/GhenghisRahn_zpsb51151ef.jpg

 

Genghis Rahn? Devine is confused...until Rahn hits him with a huge big boot! Rahn growls, then hauls Devine to his feet and plants him with Rahn To The Hills (Spinning Death Valley Driver). Rahn exits the ring and walks to the back, never looking back.

 

Bulldozer stands...seeing Rahn leaving and Devine flat on his back, he puts 2 and 2 together...shouting instructions at the winded Graveson, Bulldozer executes a vile Backdrop Driver on the stricken Devine, 1-2-3....

 

Winner – Bulldozer Brandon Smith @29:38 (B-)

 

At the Gorilla position, it's chaos. Crew members are running around, Alanis is shouting in the background, Only one man is calm...

 

Rahn: "The Revolution is complete. Now, my Church of Anarchy founds itself on the doubt of the unworthy. Devine....Devine...consider yourself our first sin...the sin of entitlement..." (C-)

 

Overall - C

[Occasional_Z]

Predictions

 

1 = 3rdStringPG - 12/22 (1/8)

smwilliams - 12/22 (2/8)

 

2 = Dragonmack - 11/22 (0/8)

Rickymex - 11/22 (1/8)

 

3 = Midnightnick - 10/22 (2/8)

 

4 = Beeker - 9/22 (1/8)

 

5 = Tiberious4 - 5/14 (1/8)

 

6 = Arwink - 3/6 (3/6)

 

A tough month...no one got the Jet City Rumble winner/runner up (though there were some close guesses). So smwilliams leapfrogs over Dragonmack into joint first place with 3rdStringPG!

Friday Week 3 March 2014

Hattie Hat's Resturant, Seattle

 

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/EPW/Breakfast_zps40879dc0.jpg

 

Brunch. Well, breakfast for the hungover. Damn was I hung over. Rahn had kindly offered to take us drinking. I’d vowed to avoid the post show drinking, but Rahn had a legendary reputation for drinking, I had to experience it at least once…Ford told me that Robert Oxford tried to have a drinking contest with Rahn. ‘Tried’ being the word…Oxford was found in a hotel lobby wearing just a TCW Tag Team belt….

 

“Devine…what ya ordering?”

 

Enough aspirin to kill an elephant.

 

“Waffles, Geng, just the waffles.”

 

I looked around at the rest of our proud crew. Spot the odd one out;

 

Devine, Darryl – Head spinning. Eyes bloodshot. Sounds like Marge Simpson.

 

Architect, The – Really quiet. Like,’ about to be sick’ quiet. Avoiding eye contact.

 

Sanders, Cal – Looks traumatised. Far away look in his eyes, probably trying to mentally bring his flight to Canada forward.

 

Diamond, Dazzling Dave – Baseball cap pulled down to his chin. Can only communicate in grunts.

 

Turner, Ernie – Shaking like a dog s**tting razor blades.

 

Rahn, Genghis – Cheerful. Wondering if he can get blueberry syrup with his pancakes.

 

I’m gonna quit drinking. For a month. Nah, a week. Hell, does this place serve whisky?

 

“Seriously bro, last night was great. We’re gonna have some fun going forward.”

 

“Hell, yeah, I got great plans for the next few months-“

 

The waitress put our order on the table. Pancakes with Blueberry syrup for Genghis, waffles for me, dry bread for DDD and a paper bag for The Architect.

 

“Well, bring it on Devine! Now, pancake time…”

 

As Genghis tucked into his pancakes, a foul smell greeted my nostrils.

 

“Darryl, THE ARCHITECT might have…disgraced your waffles…"

 

“…”

Wafflebot 9000 approves your choice of breakfast food. THE ARCHITECT is clearly more of a french toast guy.
