Davis Ditterich “Ladies and gentlemen, we are just about at the half way point of the Ultimate Showdown Series. 20 matches fought. 25 matches to go. Tonight I’m joined at ringside by the two hosts of the series, Missy Masterson and Jenny Playmate.”

Jenny Playmate “Thanks, Davis. It’s good to be ba-”

Missy Masterson “Shut up, Jenny. This is my job. What makes you think you can waltz in and steal it?”

Jenny Playmate “You stole it first! I know it was you who pushed the set down on me.”

6pts - ALEX DECOLT VS STEVIE GRAYSON - 2pts

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/AlexDeColt_zpsb86889da.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/VS2_zpsf88031f9.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/StevieGrayson_zps673dbffd.jpg

Missy Masterson “Those DeColts are all the same. Alex played with my heart and threw me away. Just like Ricky. I hope Stevie destroys him”

 

Alex is content to let Stevie pepper him with hit and run tactics, calmly puzzling out the rhythm before unleashing pinpoint counter-punches, targeting pressure points for maximum stopping power. Powerslam! Snap Driving Elbow! The Thinking Man’s DeColt is in control until Stevie ducks, dips, dives, dodges and hits a Tornado DDT! 1... 2.. Alex kicks out but Stevie’s on a roll, giving it all he’s got! He goes for Shades of Grayson (Moonsault Press) but Alex telegraphs it and moves! DeColt Driver (Straightjacket Drop) 1... 2... 3.

 

ALEX DECOLT WINS 2 POINTS (5:48)

BACKSTAGE

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/BobbyThomasSt01S.jpg

 

Black shirt. Black pants. Black mood. BOBBY THOMAS heads for the Communal Locker Room, and he’s not happy about it. He can already hear the ruckus inside. Worse, he can already smell it. He can also smell... muffins? He’s right. There’s a basket of muffins, sitting on a table, with a note saying “For The Brotherhood”.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Finally. Some respect.

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/AlexDeColt_S_zps33bed42d.jpg

 

Bobby takes a muffin, and ALEX DECOLT slaps it out of his hands!

 

ALEX DECOLT

Are you crazy? You see food laying around and your first instinct is

to eat it? What if Samael Bach left those to poison you? You saw

what happened to Sean Deeley on Friday.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Yeah, it was hilarious, but I’m not Sean Deeley, am I? I’m not some

robot who needs “The Great Alex DeColt” to tell him how to fight. I’ve

been watching Bach as long as you have. Just use someone else’s

moves. It’s not exactly rocket science.

 

ALEX DECOLT

There’s more to it than that. Come to my locker room. We need to talk

about...

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Your locker room? It’s not YOUR locker room. It’s Jack’s. You’re

just squatting.

 

ALEX DECOLT

Hey, I’m trying to help you here! We can’t let Samael get any more

points. You need to listen to me.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

No. I really don’t.

IN-RING

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/EddieChandler_S_zpsfd65527c.jpg

 

EDDIE CHANDLER

Reeeecky DeColt. You have become even more of a monster zan I

ever imagined. Zere is only one man equipped to put ze pieces

together, and he is FAAAAAAAAABULOS! I shall attack ze foot.

I shall play with ze mind. I will reveal ze third weakness. Moi.

Reeecky and I have always had a special bond. In his heart he

burns for me. Zat will be his downfall.

 

5pts - EDDIE CHANDLER VS RICKY DECOLT - 7pts

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/EddieChandler_zps1b1432f1.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/VS2_zpsf88031f9.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/ricky5.jpg

Missy Masterson “Eddie Chandler seems like the only nice guy in this entire place, so I hope he’s right and can beat Ricky here.”

Jenny Playmate “Are you kidding? You know he was using you to try to beat Alex, right?”

 

With the utmost confidence that he won’t be harmed, Chandler blatantly hits on Ricky, leaning in for a- POISON MIST! Chandler is blind, and Ricky takes him apart with right hands. Unthinking. Unblinking. Merciless. Chandler changes strategy. He goads Ricky into hitting a Running Bulldog, confusing the monster long enough to rake the back, eyes and inner thighs. He goads Ricky into hitting an Epic Dropkick, allowing him attack the weak spot on the foot with fabulous technique. The damage has been done, however. Eddie’s too beat up to lift the monster for the Elitist Plex (Delayed Front Suplex). Press Slam! Spear! Ripcord Lariat! 1... 2... 3.

 

RICKY DECOLT WINS 2 POINTS (7:03)

 

Jenny Playmate “Eddie had the skills, but he banked on-”

Missy Masterson “-banked on a completely understandable strategy. Ricky must be gay to have turned me down.”

CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP LOCKER ROOM

CHRISTIAN PRICE and EDD STONE are playing chess in the Canadian Championship Locker Room. It’s about half the size of the World Championship locker room, but still pretty nice. Christian has hung up a few posters of his favorite superheroes. After careful deliberation, Price moves a piece.

 

EDD STONE

Cunning move.

 

CHRISTIAN PRICE

... Is it?

 

EDD STONE

... I don’t know.

 

CHRISTIAN PRICE

Maybe we should ask someone to teach us the rules.

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/BobbyThomasSt01S.jpg

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Edd. What the hell are you doing?

 

EDD STONE

Matching wits with my opponent. Getting inside his head. Trying to

psyche him out.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Gee. That sounds swell, but you know what could do instead?

 

Bobby nails Price with a SUPER KICK! Edd’s stunned.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Time to take this seriously. The Brotherhood don’t play games!

Jenny Playmate “Alex can’t be happy that Bobby Thomas has ignored his advice on how to beat Bach.”

Missy Masterson “Good. I hope he’s miserable.”

 

Awkwardly attempting to cackle like a madman, Bobby artistically attacks the ankle with ‘surprising’ discipline, but Bach easily telegraphs it and picks him apart, stopping any and old comebacks with a seemingly supernatural ability to predict the future. He blocks the knee strikes.... but not the leg lariat! Bobby takes control with some Nate Johnson-y showmanship, but Bach telegraphs the Double Underhook Powerbomb and Ranas him right into referee Dace Lavoie! Overhead Kick! Bobby’s in trouble and Bach gets a chair.

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/AlexDeColt_S_zps33bed42d.jpg

 

As Samael rears back to finish his opponent off, ALEX DECOLT sprints to ringside and snatches the chair from his hands. Alex swings for the fences... but Bach ducks and he accidentally hits Bobby! Security flood in to pull Alex away as the referee comes to. 1... 2... 3.

 

SAMAEL BACH WINS 2 POINTS (6:49)

 

Samael Bach flees the ring, absolutely thrilled, leaving a distraught Alex DeColt and a furious Bobby Thomas!

 

Jenny Playmate “This is.... Hold on a second, I’m being given an important Series bulletin over my headset.”

Missy Masterson “What? I’m not getting any message? Damn it I’m the host of this thing!”

 

JENNY PLAYMATE

Ladies and Gentlemen. Ultimate Showdown Series officials have

declared that since Alex DeColt has illegally interfered in this match,

he will be penalized 3 points, effective immediately.

 

Alex isn’t happy, but accepts the ruling. Bobby Thomas is still furious. What about him??? He glares at Alex with pure hatred.

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/Banner_zpsac259299.jpg

 

Missy Masterson “Some matches are too boring to have on the main-”

Jenny Playmate “Here’s what happened before we came on the air.”

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/Gargantuan_S_zps3ae0b581.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/VS2S_zps2960baea.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/SeanDeeleyS_zpsb4e76d0e.jpg

SEAN DEELEY counters a Chokeslam with a Front Choke Lock! It’s in tight! GARGANTUAN struggles and fades and struggles and... Can’t get free. He’s out cold! The referee calls it! (Sean Deeley wins 3 points)

 

Missy Masterson “Has anyone ever told you that your voice is super annoying?”

GOLDEN PROFILE

“Black Trunks. Black Boots. Black Heart”

EDD STONE

Age... 27 Height... 5’9 Weight... 199lbs

Halifax, Nova Scotia

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/EddStone_zpsd866b72a.jpg

 

Specialty Moves: Super Kick, ST.01 Ankle Stretch, Party’s Over (Seated Faceplant)

Combat Connections: Art Reed, Benny Benson, Bobby Thomas (Allies)

 

“Once upon a time, some old Canadian ‘legend’ trained his children to

become weird clones of himself. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.”

 

Much like the DeColt boys, the sons and daughter of wrestling legend Dan Stone have all followed in their father’s illustrious footsteps, becoming acclaimed technicians, celebrated champions, and respected pillars of their communities. All, that is, except for Edd. Originally heralded as the future of the Stone legacy, young Edd has for the most part been a crushing disappointment to his family, spending his entire career trying everything in his power to NOT be like his father.

 

“In my defense, he wasn’t exactly father of the year. You know what

he got me for my 15th birthday? Workout advice for developing

functional strength. Ooh. Fun for all ages..”

 

As the youngest, high flying-est Stone, Edd has often been compared to Ricky DeColt, but an argument can be made that he actually has more in common with Jack. Both underwent wild rebellious phases in their early careers. Both hit headlines with their excessive partying. While Edd has never displayed Jack’s temper or anger issues, he’s actually been arrested more times, usually for public intoxication, public urination, and (in perhaps the most high-profile story) for being found sleeping in a fountain at Disney World.

 

“I don’t know why everyone makes a fuss about that. A normal father

would have thought it was funny. Not flip out and fire me.”

 

After being fired from NOTBPW, Edd found himself in Hollywood, California, and Total Championship Wrestling. While he achieved some success in the Cruiserweight division, he was undoubtedly held back by his excessive lifestyle, and some wondered if a day would come where Edd would get his act together, return to Canada, and show his father that he could live up to the Stone name. He never got the chance. Dan Stone passed away in April 2013.

 

“Sure, I would have liked him to have seen me come back, get to

the top, maybe become Champion. You know, to spite him. Not to

make him proud or anything. Like I’d care about that.”

 

After rebelling against the ‘Stone Family Way’ for his entire career, the Edd Stone that has arrived in CGC finally seems to be embracing it. Instead of gaudy pleather shorts, he’s wearing traditional black trunks. Instead of excessive flips and “Edd-Fu”, he has utilized the disciplined, technical style his family is known for. He’s even managed to not be drunk on camera (except for that one time, but it was an official CGC drinking contest). Is merely the influence of his Brotherhood teammates? Or is it a concerted effort to finally become his father’s son?

CANADIAN TITLE MATCH

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/CGC_Canadian_zpsc3edfdbb.jpg

 

8pts - CHRISTIAN PRICE VS EDD STONE - 3pts

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/ChristianPrice_zps345eba1c.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/VS2_zpsf88031f9.jpghttp://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCminor/EddStone_zpsd866b72a.jpg

Missy Masterson “Christian Price has been avoiding me ever since I became the one true Ultimate Showdown Series host. What a loser.”

Jenny Playmate “He’s been undefeated so far in the series. How is he a loser?”

Missy Masterson “Shut up.”

 

Edd tries to use his superior intellect to outsmart his naïve opponent, but “Look over here” and “My shoelaces are untied” don’t seem to do the trick. Price unleashes thunderous European uppercuts. Simple. Effective. Only stoppable when Edd goes for the leg and assaults it with a surprisingly disciplined barrage of stomps. Price proves too dumb to quit from the ST.01 Ankle Stretch, and powers free, but struggles to finish the Brotherhood member. Edd’s ‘Stone Instinct’ counters the Price Check (TKO) into a Crucifix, and when he’s launched into the air, he defies gravity to avoid the uppercut and get a victory roll.

 

Jenny Playmate “So you stalked Ricky DeColt, led on Christian Price, threw yourself at Alex… how on earth did anyone think you’d be an impartial host?”

Missy Masterson “I’ll show you impartial!”

 

Jenny and Missy start fighting, and Christian and Edd pause their own battle to watch. Price moves to separate the USS hosts, and Edd begrudgingly helps, copping a feel of Jenny as he does so. In her rage, Jenny swings for him, but accidentally clouts Referee Francis Long! Seeing an opportunity, Edd gives Christian a Low Blow, throws him in the ring, and- SUPER KICK! 1... 2... 3!

 

NEW CHAMPION

EDD STONE WINS 2 POINTS (9:48)

 

Davis Ditterich “Given Christian Price’s recent form, that could be considered a massive upset, and Edd may have the USS hosts to thank. Somewhere backstage Samael Bach must be thrilled. His spellbound monster Ricky DeColt takes the lead.”

Fun fact, I have 10 guys with morale issues right now. Huzzah!

 

These shows are getting harder to write. The problem with the Ultimate Showdown Series is that it’s two months with the same cast. While that’s fun at first, when I’m looking at the home stretch my eye tends to wander towards the next chapter. The post-USS chapter. Where everyone who’s on the bench comes back and the grass looks greener on every side other than the one with a bunch more Sean Deeley matches left to write. Actually, this show could use another going over, but... You know... World Cup and stuff.

 

Dug the ideas for the 3 Wishes. I’ll bet the USS combatants will all consider them should they win. Not that I'm out of ideas of anything. How dare you. Okay, maybe a little.

 

The Rapscallions' hand grenade spot was fantastic.

 

I use WreSpi to get ideas for movesets, and was stunned to see the invisible hand grenade’s in there. I was on the fence about debuting the Rapscallions at this point (roster’s too big for my TV time) but that spot sold it for me. Instant call up.

Edd Stone is off on his world travels again, so only a 4 match card next week.

Okay, so there's been a few people ragging on Sean Deeley, deriding him for lacking character and calling for him to be fired. This isn't a big deal - a fictional wrestler in a just-for-fun creative project isn't something that anyone's going to lose any sleep over - but I thought that I'd provide an alternative viewpoint. So, here we go...

 

In Defence Of Sean Deeley

 

In many ways, a lot of the criticisms of Sean are legitimate. As someone who's young and talented, he has often been an obvious choice for diarists to push. He's especially associated with projects where people 'modernise' sports entertainment companies, pushing people based purely on the numbers with the cut-and-paste 'legitimate athlete' gimmick. That can be a bit dull, and wouldn't fit the ethos of CGC at all.

 

However.

 

Sean Deeley is good. He really does have the stats to get you the results you need, and while playing purely for the ratings would be dull, bear in mind that from an in-universe perspective, those numbers indicate how much people are enjoying your show. Whatever Deeley's mic skills and character mean to the forum readers, he's still a guy who can come in, put on some good matches and leave the crowd happy with what they've seen. Don't knock talent. When push comes to shove, you'll need it.

 

As for his character and his promo skills, well, those can be developed. Anyone can get a character if they're given it. Mic skills are harder, they take time and effort to improve, but that's what managers are for, to speak for guys who can't speak for themselves.

 

In fact, writing this, I've come to the conclusion that losing the USS and getting six months to teach people in FCK might not be a bad thing for him. Other people, such as the Brotherhood, get to step into his 'midcard success story' spot, and he can come back with a new, improved character when the fans are less burned out. But that's the thing: I'd like to see something done to improve him, not to see him fired. Deeley could be the perfect storm of talent and character if he's done right. And I think that if anyone can, Self, it's you.

 

By the way, loving the shows! Don't get downhearted about keeping the same cast for too long. Your writing retains the same high standard.

Alex DeColt (5) vs Bobby Thomas (3)

- Hereby proving he DOESN'T need Alex's tainted assistance!

 

Christian Price (8) vs Samael Bach (6)

- Because how can you have precognition against someone who is too simple to think in advance?

 

Gargantuan (6) vs Ricky DeColt (9)

- Just to tighten things at the top.

 

Sean Deeley (6) vs Stevie Grayson (2)

-And to tighten things at the bottom. I really don't want Stevie to be banished... again. And I think a six month stint in FCK could do wonders for Deeley. Giving him a new character and voice, while teaching the recruits technique.

I think the best version of Sean Deeley in this diary existed during last year’s Ultimate Showdown Series. Adrian Garcia’s Elite submission specialist who called his shots. “stevie grayson. arm bar. 7 minutes”. Boring was still part of the gimmick, but there were enough interesting elements in there (Garcia, Elite politics) for him to be a worthy part of the rogue’s gallery.

 

It’s different for a baby face. He’s not a puzzle for someone to solve. He’s the solver. Instead of the animosity he had with Nate Johnson, he’s friends with John McClean. Instead of Adrian Garcia thinking he owns him, he’s got Faith legitimately trying to help him. His life’s become better, and it‘s stripped away the drama. Plus, he’s undeniably stale. Unlike a lot of characters who cycle out for chapters, Deeley’s stuck around for the entirety. Sometimes in more of a background role, but always somewhere.

 

“How can we miss you when you won’t go away?” - Jim Cornette (constantly)

 

In terms of the mathematics of TEW, yeah, Sean Deeley is super talented and super young and super legitimate. All of which are a turn off for me. In private games, I always felt he was being crammed down my throat. You know how some fans don’t like John Cena (or DeColts) because they feel they’re ‘supposed to’? That’s Sean Deeley to me. Also, all the talk about bringing “realistic wrestling back to the mainstream”? Does this diary read like I'm someone interested in realism?. This isn’t to say I won’t develop Sean further. I have actually tried. It’s just that the ideas haven’t succeeded. I didn’t like Trent Shaffer in private games either (“overwhelming potential”? we’ll see about that…) but the Sparkling Vampire idea worked. Straight Shooters didn’t.

 

I will note that while Deeley gets stick for poor promo skills, but he’s actually pretty good now. Equal to Almighty Zeus and Stevie Grayson. Much better than Bobby Thomas. The boring-ness is more of a gimmick than how he could actually talk, and does actually perform in the ring. In my head, his pouncing comeback is among the fieriest in the whole of CGC.

 

Wow. I wrote a lot. So, in summary; Sean Deeley is terrible. Too young. Too small. No charisma. Keeps upstaging the main events by doing too much stuff. The living embodiment of NOTBPW. May he burn in midcard hell.

Being a slave to the numbers is one of the few problems I have with TEW. Were we booking real wrestling promotions, then we'd be able to make our own decisions about what is and isn't a good match, who is and isn't a good wrestler. There's things to bring that feeling of uncertainty back - fog of war etc. - but the fact remains that a wrestler with Bs across the board is better than a wrestler with Cs across the board, no matter how much the other guy gets pushed. So yeah, Sean Deeley, like a lot of good wrestlers in the game, kind of is pushed on you. If you want the right results, you need the guys with the big numbers. And I agree, that gets kind of dull.

 

Also, are you sure you weren't on the booking team for WCW in the late 90s? That last sentence sounded disturbingly familiar. :p

Scary part is, I'm not entirely joking. For starters, it's how I reckon Alex DeColt would think (measuring everyone against the DeColt mold), but also... I've been to a lot of indy wrestling shows, and bigger guys get reactions. Vocal guys get reactions. The Cruiserweight performers that I love watching, for the moves and the sequences and the skill? They have to work a whole lot harder to get the same reaction as a 6'5 bodybuilder who looks like a superhero. Size matters (age too, to a certain extent). It's an unpopular view in certain corners of the internet, but there's a lot of truth to it.

 

Size isn't a problem for Sean Deeley (unlike some midgets on the roster) Middleweight is fine. Works for his skillset.

A good look will get you a long way because you don't need to work hard to demonstrate it. The 6'5" superhero just has to walk to the ring with his shirt off to show you his upside*, while the superstar technical wrestler needs ten or fifteen minutes to put on a clinic before they've really showed the audience what they can do. It's the same with the guy who cuts a good promo before the match - if they do their job well, the audience is already into it before the bell rings. Older guys? Older guys got you into their match years ago, so the audience will pop for them already.

 

And the thing is, none of these methods of getting the crowd into your match is better or worse than any of the others. That 6'5" superhero can get a big pop in their entrance, but if they stink the house out with their sloppy ringwork then they've wasted their potential. Your genius technical wrestler can work a masterclass every night you run a show, but if nobody remembers their name afterwards then they're not exactly going to sell many tickets for you. This is where the booker comes in - it's the booker's job to play up the positives and minimise the negatives, rather than throwing their talent out to sink or swim. And you're right, Deeley as the Elite's in-ring warrior covered for his downsides in the way that his face run hasn't.

 

*If you know what I mean.

Further regarding size, it’s also down to realism. I know the whole “a skilled small guy can beat an untrained big guy” adage, but if wrestling is real then everyone on the roster would be trained to an extremely high level, and therefore bigger guys will generally have the advantage over smaller guys. Despite my above talk of “do I look like I care about realism?”, that’s a reality that I believe should be reflected.

 

Yes, I realise that 199lbs Edd Stone just beat 280lbs Christian Price.

 

Older guys? Older guys got you into their match years ago, so the audience will pop for them already.

 

Sure, but if I was at a show and I was presented two total newcomers I‘d never seen before. Same size, same visible skills, but one was 20 and the other was 35. I’d bet on the older one to win. Experienced grizzled veteran. Who looks like he’s been fighting and surviving for years. Man vs. Boy. Obviously there are exceptions to this. Not everyone looks their age, you get believable rookie sensations, magic potions, etc.

I always think of Sean Deeley at best of a mix of ECW's Taz and Chris Benoit, both heel or face. An intense, no frills fighter, always ready to break bones and snapping joints. Not a smooth talker, but a dangerous man who mainly speaks by his actions. It would take longer to be recognized, especially in Sports Entertainment product, but in the end I think fans will appreciate your work and they will root for you. At worst the actual Jack Swagger, in a real need of a good manager and a good enemy to get over.

 

I don't think he's a John Maverick 2.0. Proving the differences from the Silent Assassin could be a good starting point. There's a lot similarities between him and Rocky Golden in TCW. A good to great wrestler in main event, potentially in the wrong promotion. A big challenge for bookers.

 

By the way, I liked how you moved him away from Elite; usually he tends to be the stable fall guy.

CHRISTIAN PRICE plays chess with a disheveled and bleary eyed ALEX DECOLT.

 

ALEX DECOLT

No, that... That’s a bishop! It’s goes diagonally. How can you...? Let’s

just concentrate on your match tonight.

 

CHRISTIAN PRICE

I don’t know if I can beat him, Alex. I didn’t even know I was doing so

well in the Ultimate Showdown Series, but ever since Bach told me I’m

going to screw up, that’s all I can think about. And after last week...

 

ALEX DECOLT

Honestly, Christian, I don’t care if you win the Ultimate Showdown Series.

All I care about is stopping Samael Bach from getting any more points. You

don’t want to make mistakes? All you have to do is follow my instructions

precisely.

Eddie Chandler “Ze Reeecky DeColt has become an unstoppable monster in ze Series. I am hoping zat ze Gargantuan beats him, if I am to catch up to him and win ze Three Wishes.”

 

Gargantuan circles the significantly smaller monster, who merely stare at him with cold, dead eyes. Gargantuan smirks, picks Ricky up, and lawn darts him into the corner!

 

Davis Ditterich “We can talk about weaknesses all we want, but that’ll do damage to any… Oh my word, Ricky‘s getting back up.”

 

Indeed. Ricky rises as if he didn’t feel a thing. So Gargantuan hurls him across the ring again. And again. And again. Ricky just keeps rising, none the worse for wear, staring with cold, dead eyes. Gargantuan goes for a choke slam, but the spellbound monster slowly peels the mighty hand from his throat and- Poison Mist! Gargantuan’s blind. Ricky absolutely takes him apart with right hands. A beating the likes Gargantuan has never felt before. The genetically engineered fighting machine eventually regains his sight and decapitates Ricky with an unreal clothesline, but it’s like Ricky didn’t even feel it. Ripcord Lariat! SPEAR! 1... 2... 3

No, Stevie, I don’t think I am. All I’m trying to do is save my brother.

Save the whole of CGC, really. Samael Bach needs to be banished,

but that can’t happen unless people cooperate with me.

 

STEVIE GRAYSON

SEAN DEELEY is warming up for his match with a quick 300 squats... or he has OCD and believes if he doesn’t do the entire 300 his whole family with die. I don’t know. Strange Chimes alert him to the presence of SAMAEL BACH. Deeley stops his workout, ready to fight!

 

SAMAEL BACH

Settle down, Sean. No need for that.

 

SEAN DEELEY

you used your potion on me. you poisoned me.

 

SAMAEL BACH

Yes. That’s why I’m here. I’d like to do it again. With a different potion,

of course. A potion to make you strong. Strong enough to defeat Stevie

Grayson tonight. Alex DeColt wants me banished, and the future

demands that not happen. As long as Stevie Grayson doesn’t get

any more points, that’s not going to be a problem.

 

SEAN DEELEY

why should i care?

 

SAMAEL BACH

Because you’re a soldier, Sean. A soldier without an army. You were

with The Elite, then you were with McClean, now you’re alone and

you’re lost. Rudderless. Desperately clawing for scraps in a Series

you could be dominating. If you had something to follow.

 

Bach takes a vial of glowing green potion from his robes, places it on the table besides Deeley, and walks away.

 

SAMAEL BACH

The relics of the past are conspiring against you. Alex and Stevie are

plotting away. Will you let them push you aside? Or will you rise

and embrace the future?

Eddie Chandler “I find myself agreeing with ze Samael Bach. I mean, zere is no chance I am going to lose any more matches, but I would sleep better to know zat ze Stevie Grayson was stuck behind me in last place.”

 

Stevie stays out of the Shooter’s grasp for as long as he can with hit and run tactics, but eventually gets caught and stretched. Refusing to quit, Stevie breaks free, ducks, dips, dives, gets caught, breaks free again, ducks, dips, dives, ducks, and... Both men wipe each other out with clotheslines!

 

Deeley finds himself in a corner, where Bach’s vial of potion is waiting. He looks at it, almost reaches out for it... but then notices that Stevie is limping. Weakness! Deeley pounces... right into a knee to the face. Stevie suckered him in! Shades of Grayson (Moonsault Press)! 1... 2... 3!

 

STEVIE GRAYSON WINS 2 POINTS (6:27)

 

Davis Ditterich “Stevie lured the Shooter in with a fake injury, and you can bet it was Alex DeColt who gave him the idea.”

Eddie Chandler “Once again, ze Sean Deeley has disappointed me.”

Before the bell rings, BOBBY THOMAS grabs a microphone.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Last week you messed up, Alex. I was going to beat Samael Bach. I

had him right where I wanted him... but you decided to interfere. Why?

Because I didn’t want to take your advice? Because I didn’t want to

play a stupid game of chess?

 

ALEX DECOLT

You were going to lose, Bobby. I couldn’t let that happen.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Well it did. It did because of you. You interfered, you cost me points,

and now I want them back! I want you to lay down for me, Alex.

Better yet, I want you to submit to me. I want you to get down, let

me put you in the St.01 Ankle Stretch, and then I want to hear

you quit.

 

ALEX DECOLT

I’m sorry I cost you points, Bobby, but that’s not going to happen.

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Oh really? I know you’ve looked at the leaderboard. I know you’ve seen

how many points Samael Bach has. He’s got 6. I’ve only got 3. What

if I don’t get any more, Alex? What if I get banished, and Samael Bach

stays? You’ll never get your brother back then. He’ll be Bach’s puppet

forever. Is that what you want? You helped Stevie, but you won’t help

me? Lay down!

 

Alex has done the math. He’s actually considering it.... but not fast enough for an irate Bobby Thomas, who slaps Alex in the face! The Thinking Man’s DeColt responds with a big right hand!

 

5pts - ALEX DECOLT VS BOBBY THOMAS - 3pts

Eddie Chandler “As much as I want zose behind me to stay behind me, zere is nothing I would enjoy more zan a Bobby Thomas victory tonight.”

 

Alex rocks him with precision strikes, until Thomas rakes the eyes and hits a high knee. There’s nothing methodical about this beat down, just angry, random, violence. At first. Slowly but surely, Thomas settles into his usual rhythm, delivering a methodical barrage of stomps to the ankle… and that’s a puzzle Alex knows how to solve. He sweeps the leg before unleashing pinpoint counter punches, targeting pressure points for maximum stopping power. Powerslam! Snap Driving Elbow! Tower Collapse Superplex! 1... 2... Thomas kicks out, but Alex is on a-

 

Strange Chimes sound. Alex immediately whirls around to the ramp, eagerly awaiting Samael Bach, forgetting about his opponent- SUPER KICK! Another SUPER KICK! 1... 2... 3!

 

BOBBY THOMAS WINS 2 POINTS (9:40)

 

Eddie Chandler “Finally I get what I want.”

Davis Ditterich “I think… I think that’s the first time Bobby Thomas has ever beaten Alex one on one. He had some help from those mysterious chimes, but what an upset!”

Eddie Chandler “Ze Christian Price has been on an amazing run, but ze loss he suffered last week has shaken his confidence, no? ”

 

Christian Price hasn’t looked this unsure of himself in years. He rocks Bach with forearms and attempts an airplane spin, but trips over his own feet. He tries to hunt Bach down and gets himself trapped in the corner. He goes berserk with right tackles and shoulder hands… wait… that’s not right. Bach picks him apart. He doesn’t even need to rely on his supernatural precognition.

 

Totally outwrestled, but too dumb to die, Price goes back to what he knows. Thunderous European uppercuts. Bach sees them coming, but that doesn’t mean he can stop them. Simple. Effective. Unstoppable. It only takes a couple getting through before Bach is in serious pain. Price launches him into the air, but Bach telegraphs it with a dropkick, and goes for the Harbinger (Flying Flip Neckbreaker) but Price UPPERCUTS HIM IN MID AIR! 1... 2... 3.

 

CHRISTIAN PRICE WINS 2 POINTS (8:01)

 

[Davis Ditterich “Huge confidence booster for Christian Price! He’s back on track in the Ultimate Showdown Series, and after tonight it looks like it’s a two horse race.”

We made a 90k loss last month, which initially bummed me out, what with rising to National and all. Then I remembered I spent 252k on George DeColt arena. All in all, we’re still in a bright financial future. I kinda want to get back up to $5million (CGC’s original finances) but at the same time, spending money is cool.

 

Lots of stale gimmicks on the pre-shows.

 

Looking at stat increases, Eddie Chandler has a great career as a road agent ahead of him once he retires. A lot of guys have developed awesome psychology, but he’s reached the point where he’s outpacing them.

 

- Because how can you have precognition against someone who is too simple to think in advance?

 

I think I explored the psychology behind Price/Bach when they battled several months ago. Price only does one thing. He’s easy to predict. Everyone can predict him, not just Bach. The problem is that what he does is so brutal it doesn’t matter if you can predict him. One uppercut is like being in a car crash.

 

I gotta say, figuring out the Bach and Ricky matches have been the most fun I’ve had doing the Series this year. Everyone takes on the puzzles slightly differently.

 

I always think of Sean Deeley at best of a mix of ECW's Taz and Chris Benoit, both heel or face. An intense, no frills fighter, always ready to break bones and snapping joints. Not a smooth talker, but a dangerous man who mainly speaks by his actions. It would take longer to be recognized, especially in Sports Entertainment product, but in the end I think fans will appreciate your work and they will root for you. At worst the actual Jack Swagger, in a real need of a good manager and a good enemy to get over.

 

I think early on, I took for granted that wrestling fans would root for a serious wrestler. If you guys were actually watching this show, you’d probably be more into the skill of Deeley, than the one dimensional uppercuttery of Christian Price. Also... Yeah, it’s cool to portray him as a ‘dangerous man’, but we’ve reached the point where he’s lost so many times and been slotted into a certain place on the ladder, that any kind of aura has been worn away. Still, he’s young. Not even in his prime yet.

 

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/Banner_zpsac259299.jpg

 

So many matches, so little time. Edd Stone’s ridiculous schedule (lots of news reports about people worried for him) has made a mockery of the fixtures again. It’s going to be a packed pre-show with lots of highlights next week.

 

Alex DeColt vs Christian Price

Bobby Thomas vs Eddie Chandler

Edd Stone vs Eddie Chandler

Edd Stone vs Stevie Grayson

Gargantuan vs Samael Bach

Ricky DeColt vs Sean Deeley

 

I’m way behind writing this one, so it’ll likely be up a few days later than normal.
