Beeker Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Christian Price (14) vs Ricky DeColt (15) - This is a case of heart over head, because in a black and white fed like CGC, the most obvious storyline would be Ricky winning and Bach being banished. I'd rather see Christian Sharp-as-a-Spoon Price with the 3 wishes because that would be a very fun storyline, and feel fresh. Alex DeColt (7) vs Gargantuan (9) - I don't think Alex gets banished, so let's give the half-DeColt a win over his sorta-brother. Bobby Thomas (7) vs Stevie Grayson (6) - Shock win (not really) for Grayson! Putting Bobby on edge and maybe sending in one of his brothers to interfere in Deeley's match. Edd Stone (7) vs Samael Bach (6) - Unpredictable Edd-Fu makes it to CGC! Eddie Chandler (9) vs Sean Deeley (6) - I am wavering if Deeley gets sent to FCK, but I'm going to stick with it and I think Chandler is the sort of talent that knows Deeley and can tie him in knots. Tag Title Match: Art Reed & Benny Benson vs Dirty White Boys - I see no reason for Arny Reedson win the titles from the DWB, seems a thrown together team, who will be very skilled but will come up short. 4v4 Match to become Interviewer: Team Missy vs Team Jenny - I like Messed-up Missy's gimmick better, but Jenny seems the better interviewer, let Missy back where she belongs... stalking DeColts!

James Casey Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Christian Price (14) vs Ricky DeColt (15) CGC desperately needs a new top face, and Price has come up trumps for you before. Time for him to have the ball and see what he does with it. Alex DeColt (7) vs Gargantuan (9) Bobby Thomas (7) vs Stevie Grayson (6) Edd Stone (7) vs Samael Bach (6) Eddie Chandler (9) vs Sean Deeley (6) All leading into a three-way match where Thomas and Stone double-team DeColt to eliminate one of CGC's biggest names, and give FCK a boost for six months, and queuing up a huge return six months down the line. And, you know, let Deeley move up a step on the roster Tag Title Match: Art Reed & Benny Benson vs Dirty White Boys Clearly needs Greg Black in for one or other of the St.01 guys... 4v4 Match to become Interviewer: Team Missy vs Team Jenny I figure Missy is back on a short term contract, and can come back any time, but she's not necessarily someone to have around all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylocke Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Christian Price (14) vs Ricky DeColt (15) I was starting to form a theory about Bach getting banished, only for Ricky to win the USS and use one of his 3 Wishes to re-instate his master.......but I just had another idea. With Ricky remaining undefeated in the series so far, it would be a more fitting end storyline-wise for somone to finally beat that streak. Plus, Christian Price's 3 wishes would be more fun than Ricky-bot's. Alex DeColt (7) vs Gargantuan (9) I thought this match seemed like the most....inconsequential, neither guys are at the top or the bottom. I'm predicting Gargantuan (via Bach interference) because keeping Alex near the bottom opens up more possibilities. Bobby Thomas (7) vs Stevie Grayson (6) The USS is coming to an end, so it's abot time somebody breaks the curse on the Canadian title! Edd Stone (7) vs Samael Bach (6) DId Bach seriously try to drug Edd with spiked muffins? He doesn't know Edd to well. The 24-hr Party Animal fights better when he's high! Ok,..undecided about this. There are so many ways this can go depending on which guy is going to lose the series. I've predicted that Grayson will win his match, so that would leave Back and Deeley as the last 2. Considering Bach has been trying to recruit Deeley, it would be interesting if the last tiebreaker were between the two of them. Then again, Bach can simply win this match, and then continue to taunt Deeley with the potion now that all the pressure is on him! With Alex only one point above Deeley (which is why I predicted him to lose to Gargantuan, it may be a struggle to see whether Deeley falls to the temptation and use the potion to get the points, leading to Alex being in last place....but then Edd and Bobby will be tied with him too....unless Bach finds a way to get Alex further penalized to lose points?......way too many guys with the same points and I'm getting a headache trying to think of all the scenarios. Bottomline, though, I don't think Bach is going to get banished at the end of the series. Whether it's via winning this match, or beating Deeley in tiebreaker, or getting Ricky to use a wish for him, I think he's staying for the time being. I'll just go with my heart on this and predict an Edd victory, because the spiked muffin foreshadowing makes it way too obvious to work. Eddie Chandler (9) vs Sean Deeley (6) Deeley staying at the bottom for the afore-speculated tiebreaker against Bach. Tag Title Match: Art Reed & Benny Benson vs Dirty White Boys No build-up, no reason for title to change hands....but then again, look at what's happening to the Canadian Title. Sticking to my prediction, but wouldn't be surprised either way by this point. 4v4 Match to become Interviewer: Team Missy vs Team Jenny Trying to think of who's to be on the teams......Prime Energy are the obvious candidates for Team Jenny, but other than that.....I'm struggling to think of credible faces that aren't already occupied in the USS, and I don't think there's anyone left barring Jack DeColt, whom I doubt is going to be involved in this. Missy Masterson on the other hand probably has her friend Chandler supplying her with troops from the Elite, and I can see a team involving DaLay and El Eet taking down anyone Jenny can possibly recruit from what's left of the roster.

He goes for the DeColt Driver (Straightjacket Drop) but Gargantuan’s too big, too sturdy. Unreal Clothesline! Gargantuan dominates Alex, lawn darting him into the turnbuckles. Puzzling out the genetically enginerred fighting machine’s rhythms, Alex battles back with more precision strikes. before charging him face-first into the turnbuckle, tying him up for the DeColt Driver (Straightjacket Drop) and jumping off the middle rope to give him enough momentum to take Gargantuan down. 1... 2... 3!

One of his kneepads is noticeably bigger than the other. Stevie ducks, dips, dives, dodges and- SUPER KICK! 1... 2... Stevie kicks out, but he’s in trouble. Thomas attacks the leg with a methodical barrage of stomps, preventing Stevie from picking up speed. He can’t duck. He can’t dip. He can’t dive. He can dodge, however, as Thomas needs to pull up his over-sized pad before attempting a High Knee. Stevie rolls him up. Once. Twice. Getting closer and closer to the three until the technician counters with the St.01 Ankle Stretch! Stevie screams in pain! He fights and struggles and fades… and notices the knee-pad has slipped down to Thomas’s ankle. With one last grasp, Stevie rolls forward, rolling Thomas up, desperately grabbing the pad for enough leverage to keep him down for 1... 2... 3!

The Gendarmes cut the ring in half with trickery and deceit, while Warren works him over with perfect technique and even Ozzie is happy to pitch in… until Jenny Playmate’s distraction allows Chucky to clout him in the face with a rolling wheel kick. Drake gets the tag and goes bananas with atomic drops, before pulling out an INVISIBLE HAND GRENADE and placing it on Warren. Missy yells for him not to fall for it, but- BOOM! Chucky destroys him with a Senton! Ozzie hits Drake with “Whatever” (Jumping Russian Legsweep Thing) but flees in terror when Akima enters the ring.

A big right hand is enough to rock Deeley, who clearly hasn’t recovered from the beating Ricky gave him two weeks ago. Chandler toys with his former stablemate, until Deeley pounces with brutal takedowns and animalistic suplexes! He latches onto the Fabulous One's fabulous arm and wrenching it at un-fabulous angles! Chandler’s on the verge of tapping, and- Strange chimes sound... ... but Sean Deeley keeps on wrenching. He won’t be distracted.

The other ‘Guardians’ leap to their friend’s defense. Ricky shoves over the tree, punches the girl and kicks the raccoon in the face. The muscular one tries a spear.... but it does nothing to the spelllbound monster, who launches it into the crowd. Ricky DeColt takes Christian Price apart with right hands, throwing him into the guardrails and into the crowd, forcing fans to flee in terror. Price throws some european uppercuts, but they barely seem to have any effect on the monster, who continues the beating, through the crowd and back into the ring. 14pts - CHRISTIAN PRICE VS RICKY DECOLT - 15pts 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/ricky5.jpg Davis Ditterich “Ricky DeColt has delivered an unmerciful beating, but we have no choice but to start the match. We need a winner.” The bell rings and the spellbound Ricky continues to take his opponent apart with right hands, until Price moves himself into position for the Running Bulldog. There’s a flicker of life in Ricky’s cold, dead eyes, and Price takes advantage with stomps to the foot to attack the weak spot, and- POISON MIST! Price is blind. He ducks the Ripcord Lariat, but eats a Spear and continues to take a beating. Price weathers the storm long enough to regain his sight, before clambering to the top rope. Jack DeColt “What the-? Price is going to the top?” Ricky climbs up to meet him, knocks him down, and- Freezes. There’s another flicker of life in his eyes, and he goes for the High Fly Elbow! Price moves! Ricky crashes and burns and Christian battles back, finally doing some damage by alternating between stomps to the foot and bone-rattling uppercuts. Stud Stopper (Twisting Snap Powerslam)! Price Check (TKO)! 1... 2... The monster kicks out. On a roll, Christian goes for Price Check again, but this time Ricky slips free! Ripcord Lariat! 1... 2... Christian’s too dumb to die! “One minute remaining” Ricky drops his foe with a huge Press Slam, but as he launches himself for the spear GETS UPPERCUTTED OUT OF MID AIR! Without a second to lose, Price quickly applies the St.01 Ankle Stretch! Yes, really. Twisting with all his might, he starts kneeing the weak spot, as the monster cries in pain. “Thirty seconds left” Trapped in a world of pain, Ricky DeColt fights and struggles and there’s more than just flashes of life in his cold, dead eyes. No chimes can be heard, only very human screams. With one last supernatural show of strength, Ricky powers up to his feet... but Price uppercuts the weak spot! It’s locked in! Ricky taps!

I want to say it'll be a month, but it all depends on when I get excited by the project again. I’d blame the grind of the Ultimate Showdown Series, but truthfully this is a long time coming. I’m barely meeting deadlines (hell, this show was late) so this is a good time to take a month off. I can think to the future, get a nice stockpile of scripts going, and chill out a bit. I need stories I can look forward to, and if I’m always focussing on next week’s show, I can’t really come up with them without feeling guilty. Overall, I’m pretty happy with this year’s USS. Unlike last year’s, where contract signings and creative control forced me to switch a lot of results late on, this one went mostly as planned. That being said, I don't know if I'm going to keep the same format next year. Maybe I’ll drop it to nine combatants. Maybe increase it to 12/14/16, but split them into two 'blocks' G1 style. Something different. Maybe. This 10 man format is really fun to book, so I’ll probably forget the headache of writing this year’s. I depends on the roster I had available. This year’s suffered from a lack of babyfaces. I didn’t really want to include Deeley and Grayson (more because they were in last year’s Series than their characters) but I didn’t have any other babyfaces strong enough to challenge Ricky/Chandler/Alex. Generally, I’m not too concerned with my lack of babyfaces (I run 60 minute TV’s, after all) but here’s where it got annoying. So many heels I thought about including. Benson. El Eet. Zeus. That TCW guy. http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p366/celdom/CGCmain/Banner_zpsac259299.jpg I’ll announce the card for the next show when I’m ready to post it (or I might just post out of nowhere)so here’s a question. Who would you like to see more of, when CGC continues? If you have any questions, ask away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 How on earth do you uppercut during an ankle lock? As for the question, I want to see more of Warren Technique, the heavy breathing Latin guy. I think it's a pretty fun character and I'd love to see him in a highlighted role even if it is only a month long. Other stuff, more of The Rapscallions, the return of the King of Chop tournament (You mentioned it in Jack's three wishes but I can't remember ever seeing it) Looking forward to seeing how Price uses his wishes as well. Should be immensely fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Stranger Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Gonna sound daft, but a fun thing to do for the USS might just be to make it a tag format, and you get to use more of the roster, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylocke Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Awesome end show to the the USS! Can't wait to find out about Christan's wishes. Who would you like to see more of, when CGC continues? Zeus is sorely missed, especially since I felt he could have done more during his run on top, but if you're talking about guys you haven't given a prominent push at all so far.....Warren Technique. Chandler was right, he's Sean Deeley, but more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Sam Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I liken this to a form of TV show, with lots of stories said. I felt that a story ended when both Bach and Ricky lost their matches, one that it was building up to. You pretty much provided a big swerve. I expected Alex to lose his match and, at the very least, end up in the tie-breaking match against Bach, setting off a big match. Quite a lot of people predicted Alex would lose his match against Gargantuan. Anyway, for your question, I liked Warren Technique. The Survival of the Fittest Contest pretty much showed how athletic he really was. Surprised he didn't join Elite, but eh, it works for storyline purposes. I'd like to see more of him. Suprised that Gargantuan was chosen, over a lot of people I can think of, like Shaffer, Zeus & El Eet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Wow. Okay, I was not expecting Samael to be banished, but it does make sense with hindsight. You've been very good at sending people on hiatus when they're starting to become stale after a prolonged push, and Samael has been on a long come-down after a run of dominance. The talk of Sean Deeley losing and taking time off to get a character distracted me. As for what I'd like to see more of... Hmm. I'd like to see inter-promotional stuff, talent trades and the like, to spice up the odd show here and there. I know it would mean giving screen time to outsiders when your roster is already over-stuffed, but the odd one-off character gives interesting match-ups. Give Sean Deeley more angle time. He's got a character - the Lance Storm super-serious thing, the thing where he has no emotions - but he's a tailor-made straight man for when you need one. Give him some time. He might even win the support of the diary fans. More Hotstuff Marie! Her drawings are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakerNGN74 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Who would you like to see more of, when CGC continues? I'll echo what Greylocke said, more Zeus Maxmillion I feel like he really didn't get a prolonged run at the top like maybe he should have. Maybe that was your goal but I feel he can be utilized a bit better going forward because now he's more of an afterthought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitarzu Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would like to see more of Almighty Zeus. The King of Gods, without the others and Samael Bach. I'm curious about the effect of the electrified cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 How on earth do you uppercut during an ankle lock? To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum, Price finds a way. the return of the King of Chop tournament (You mentioned it in Jack's three wishes but I can't remember ever seeing it) After the carnage that occurred the first time, the King of Chop tournament hasn't been repeated… Yet. Gonna sound daft, but a fun thing to do for the USS might just be to make it a tag format, and you get to use more of the roster, too. Maybe. I really like that idea, although “get to use more of the roster” isn’t necessarily a good thing. More isn’t always better, and it certainly isn’t easier. Sure, I could have more guys wrestling, but I wouldn’t want a bunch of interchangeable names just having matches. The USS is about angles and character arcs as much as fightin’ and points. A tag team version would be a fun change of pace though. There are good stories to be told. I liken this to a form of TV show, with lots of stories said. I felt that a story ended when both Bach and Ricky lost their matches, one that it was building up to. You pretty much provided a big swerve. I expected Alex to lose his match and, at the very least, end up in the tie-breaking match against Bach, setting off a big match.

You've been very good at sending people on hiatus when they're starting to become stale after a prolonged push, and Samael has been on a long come-down after a run of dominance. The talk of Sean Deeley losing and taking time off to get a character distracted me. Personally, I thought the last two months were entirely about Alex getting Bach banished. That was the 'A' story, and after some hardships, the main hero won in the end. Is that a swerve? Or was it so obvious a conclusion that you expected a swerve (such as Alex being banished) and the lack of swerve was in itself a swerve? I like Samael Bach, but he’s an overpowering character who takes over the main plot whenever he’s around. Unlike an Eddie Chandler, who can naturally transition into midcard feuds, Bach got a whole ‘World Domination’ thing going. Anything less than the main event feels wrong. Ultimately, if I want to write different stories with different antagonists, Bach has to step aside. It helps that he’s not a CGC original, so I feel more comfortable cycling him in and out. Suprised that Gargantuan was chosen, over a lot of people I can think of, like Shaffer, Zeus & El Eet. If you look at the roster for last year’s USS, it was pretty much all Workratey Light-Middleweights (Trent, Bobby, Stevie, Johnson, Ricky, Whippy, Zeus, Deeley, Powell, McClean) so I really wanted a big ‘un in there for variety this year. Plus, it’s always tricky finding Gargantuan something to do which isn’t “Monster Unleashed” angles. This was something different. El Eet didn’t really have the popularity to compete with this year’s field. Trent Shaffer’s feud with Price had come a natural end, so a vacation made sense. Almighty Zeus is… Man, I struggle with Zeus. Given that all three were in last year’s USS, and the amount of heels I already had ready to go, it wasn’t a hard choice to leave any of them out.

Derek B Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I loved the conclusion to the series... Bach doing everything possible to stay in, Alex pushing everyone as much as possible to end Bach, Edd inventing some mind boggling moves to win... all awesome. What I also love, and commented on at the time, was how important the Bach/Ricky draw was at the start... by splitting the points they were both screwed in the long run, with Bach being dropped off the bottom as a result and Ricky narrowly missing out on winning because of it too. Suck on that precognizant powers! Missy Masterson continues to be awesome, it worries me how much I love her. Also, Christian Price with 3 wishes... I can see them being hilarious. Not sure what he would wish for though... I can't see him wishing for a title match, he seems like the sort who would only take one if he could earn it. But I can see EVERYONE trying to manipulate him into using his wishes badly. Maybe he accidentally wishes Edd Stone to be sober within earshot of Edd, who is still confused enough about magic for it to work... or Price being told something doesn't work in some way and wishing that it did... or Price wishing for something really bad, like a huge amount of hamburgers, and getting them... so much silliness could be had, but I can almost see someone stepping up to protect him from being manipulated, someone who makes it their job to stop him rom accidentally wishing for things. Also, Price deserves a girlfriend. A nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it so obvious a conclusion that you expected a swerve (such as Alex being banished) and the lack of swerve was in itself a swerve? Really? I didn't see it like that. I was always more interested in who was going to win than who was going to get banished. I was assuming that the story was 'Alex fails to banish Samael Bach and goes to some dark and crazy places in the process'. Admittedly, that's because... I like Samael Bach, but he’s an overpowering character who takes over the main plot whenever he’s around. Unlike an Eddie Chandler, who can naturally transition into midcard feuds, Bach got a whole ‘World Domination’ thing going. Anything less than the main event feels wrong.

It helps that he’s not a CGC original, so I feel more comfortable cycling him in and out. ...Sammy is so important that clearly he can't get banished. I'm interested in how he's going to return and what's going to happen with Ricky without his patron being around. I'm wondering who's going to shift into the top Heel spot next.

This is why I said Christian Price's 3 wishes would be more fun than Ricky-bot's. A Ricky win would simply be a repeat of what happened last year (Bach controlling the wishes of his "soldier" and using them against the DeColts). With Christian the possibilities are endless. Actually, now I have the sudden urge to see Edd Stone buddying up to Price and suggest all kinds of outrageous things for Price to try his wishes on. Not out of malice, but more out of a desire to see "magic" work. While Price would reject them, not because he doesn't believe they'll work, but because Edd's ideas of fun wouldn't sound "right" or "decent" to him. Or Price can, out of genuine good will and altruism, wish that a certain dastardly heel will change his ways and become a good guy. And that heel will then be pressurized by CGC management to "turn good or get fired/suspended", forcing him to have to constantly restrain himself from doing "bad" deeds week after week. I can just see someone like Chandler, Shaffer or even Gargantuan going crazy from it. Or even Edd (even though he isn't really malicious by nature, but he'll go absolutely nuts if Price's idea of being "good" equates to being prim, proper and respectable like the rest of his family). Sooooo many ways this can go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
