Mikey James vs Vengeance

- Go Mikey! Okay, maybe not...

 

Christian Faith vs The Zim

Steve Frehley vs Asher Ginsberg

- That, Mr. Anderson, is the sound of inevitibility

 

Hero Squad vs The Eisen Entourage

- things will get worse for our Heroes before they get better

 

????? vs Eric Eisen © - non-title match???

- I've been defying the almighty ????? for too long, although I expect a DQ win or schmozz of some kind

 

Nicky Champion vs Brandon James

- First real test for Nicky. I could see Brandon winning, but he seems to be in a bit of stasis for now while Vengeance and Money run with the heel ball

 

Tom "Angry" Gilmore and Chris Morrisette vs The Almighty Dollar

- I'm calling the upset here, possibly by DQ

 

 

SWF Uprising

 

Cameron Vessey vs ????? - possible match for third Shooting Star title competitor on MoP

- just guessing here

 

James Prudence vs ?????

- It would be a little harsh to go directly from main-eventing Supreme to jobbing on Uprising, plus the Blondes are in a storyline and probably need a little push

 

The Psychedelic Soul Brothers vs The Can't Miss Prospects

- Somebody's getting buried on Uprising!

 

Frankie Perez © vs Roger Cage - non-title match

- Frankie is still the Uprising top dog

 

High Concept vs Biggz in Japan

- could go either way, but High Concept are a little ahead and have more upside

 

Joshua Taylor vs Koshiro Ino

- This should be an awesome match, if the SWF fans decide to care :p

 

The Allied Forces vs 24/7 Partay Dudez

- Allied Forces are in the title picture, the Dudez currently aren't

 

 

Bonus Question #1 - Who among these four will NOT be a "pro" mentor on High Stakes?

 

A) Eric Eisen

B) James Prudence

C) Frederique Garcia

D) Steve Frehley

 

Bonus Question #2 - The Almighty Dollar expands ahead of Master of Puppets - YES/NO

- tough one. I'm sure they'll add one more member, but not at all sure it will happen before MOP

Pumping up the stars before the PPV.

 

Hero Squad vs The Eisen Entourage

 

Close one here, which probably comes down to who'll take the loss: Jungle Lord, to further his losing streak, or Huggins, who's the least over guy here? I'm going with Huggins -- Jungle Lord's real quarrel is with the real Eisen, and he should be able to help his tag partner take out some lackeys. Or maybe just win by DQ.

 

????? vs Eric Eisen © - non-title match???

 

Sometimes you need the midcard title holder to lose a non-title match, just to make it clear that he's still a midcarder.

 

Nicky Champion vs Brandon James

 

James is spinning his wheels at the moment. Champion is looking like the real thing.

 

Tom "Angry" Gilmore and Chris Morrisette vs The Almighty Dollar

 

I try not to bet against Rich Money. I REALLY try not to bet against Remo. I don't like to bet against Gilmore. Betting against Morrisette is... well, I love the guy, but it's just good business.

Cameron Vessey vs ????? - possible match for third Shooting Star title competitor on MoP

You pushed Vessey last time, got to keep that ball rolling.

James Prudence vs ?????

 

Not going to bet against an established guy like Jimmy on the undercard of the B-show.

The Psychedelic Soul Brothers vs The Can't Miss Prospects

 

Oh, KP -- will you ever win?

 

Frankie Perez © vs Roger Cage - non-title match

 

Haven't seen anything from Cage that suggests he's getting a push.

 

High Concept vs Biggz in Japan

 

They may be in Japan, but they're still Biggz. Meanwhile, High Concept have the skills, the overness, the pedigree and the crowd-pleasing gimmick... they have no reason not to be contenders.

 

Joshua Taylor vs Koshiro Ino

 

Is this that upcoming Taylor feud that's rumored? Maybe, maybe not. But Ino is definitely the more established worker here, and if it is the start of a feud, I don't think it begins with the face winning.

 

The Allied Forces vs 24/7 Partay Dudez

 

 

 

Bonus Question #1 - Who among these four will NOT be a "pro" mentor on High Stakes?

 

A) Eric Eisen

B) James Prudence

C) Frederique Garcia

D) Steve Frehley

 

Prudence and Garcia are the kind of solid veterans that make sense for High Stakes -- the idea of both members of a tag team as mentors gives me pause, but there are plenty of potential tag teams in High Stakes too. Frehley seems like a weird fit for the show -- way too big, way too ornery -- but he makes a lot of sense as a mentor for Fro Sure, who's also from South LA. Which leaves Eisen, who I just can't see acting like a mentor to anyone, even in-story.

 

Bonus Question #2 - The Almighty Dollar expands ahead of Master of Puppets - YES/NO

 

Don't see why they need to -- but it seems like a weird question to even ask if they don't.

OOC - Well, isn't this great! Just got back home after close to two days on the road. And look at all those predictions! :D Thanks for submitting them in, and I'll let everyone know about the June prediction contest prize within the next few days. Supreme TV goes up in 1-2 days, but before that, a BSS-less backstage segment...

 

Also, I've just realized Compton (Steve Frehley's "real life" hometown) is indeed south of L.A. - thanks, Oregano Jensen! Since I've been writing him in promos as being someone from East L.A., I've had him "billed" accordingly in the worker bios. We shall see, though, if he ends up becoming Fro Sure/Nate Lee's mentor on High Stakes...

 

 

"Money (That's What They Want)"

 

 

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

Utah Park Reservation

6:30 p.m.

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_alt1.jpg

 

 

Rich Money was on a roll. Never the most friendly guy when it came to youngsters and/or rookies, he had seemingly turned the corner in 2013, ever since legally changing his name to Rich Money Parsons. Not too long ago, he was mentoring Spencer Spade on how to become a more effective heel. And now, he had Part One and Part Two - Greg and Matt Gauge - listening intently and hearing the master talk about how to use heel psychology to their advantage, about how to cut effective heel promos. Part of The Parts Unknown's shtick was that they didn't talk. But since chances were they'd do so in a couple of months as themselves and not as two masked jobbers, Rich Money's tutelage meant a lot to them.

 

"That stuff's gold, Rich," observed Tom Gilmore, who'd spent most of his SWF career as a heel before breaking out as a face. The two men would be meeting each other at Master of Puppets, and the stipulations were to be announced later on. Money vs Gilmore for Supreme Heavyweight promised to be a classic. But going back to Rich backstage, everyone seemed impressed at how he was reaching out to the younger heel workers and getting them up to speed on how to become more effective as the bad guys.

 

Well, almost everyone.

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EricEisen_alt2_zps23d12aee.jpg

 

 

"So that's the secret of your push," snarled the Supremacist Champion, Eric Eisen. "Teach a few unproven rookies the tricks of the trade and remain relevant as the most important heel in Supreme." A couple months back, Eric tried to get the Gauges and Spencer to join the Klubb, but he had failed. Now he was sour-graping because as a former World Heavyweight champ, he was no longer the most hated heel, and his attempt to turn face through an edgy gimmick still had him hated by the SWF Galaxy.

 

"I don't know what you're talking about, Eric," replied Rich. "We've got all these young kids coming in for 2013, so why not teach them what I know? I can't be the most hated heel forever."

 

"Yeah? That's because I am the most hated heel," said Eric. "And it isn't even supposed to be that way."

 

"Maybe you should have thought of a better way to turn face than to be an immature frat boy."

 

Rich's comments, while a bit uncalled for, were true. And they got Eric mad enough to have him standing up and going toe-to-toe with Rich in the locker room.

 

"Look, Rich, I'm in creative and you're not. Backstage, I'm the one who's money. I've worked long and hard to prove I'm more than just Richard Eisen's son who grew big and strong enough to compete in the ring. You don't call the shots around here. And if it were up to me..."

 

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" It wasn't Rich who said that, but rather Peter Michaels, who had overheard both men arguing and decided to step in and keep things peaceful ahead of the show. "Eric, we have to talk."

 

Later on, I would find out that Eric got a fatherly talk from Peter, one that didn't seem to affect him in any way. The smarks of the SWF Galaxy hated Eric because his party-hearty gimmick hit way too close to home - after all, Eric did flunk out of Syracuse in real life, and it was his misadventures in the frat scene that he ended up most remembered for. Less "smart" fans hated him because The Eisen Entourage picked on fan favorites like Hero Squad. And backstage, almost everyone saw the Entourage storyline as an ill-conceived attempt to bring back the attitude. I didn't think a fatherly chat would do the trick. He needed more stern warnings and more of Peter letting him know that the Klubb had no chance in hell of getting over backstage.

 

Meanwhile, Peter also wanted to have a word with me, and it was regarding yet another young jobber the SWF wanted to hire for Uprising. To hire...or not to hire?

Rich Money is never a guy that gets that much attention as a backstage character. I simply see him as too high in the card for anyone to mess with. I would love to see Eric Eisen try to intimidate Rich. It wouldn't do anything since Rich is too badass for anyone to break but it would be fun.

<p>Yeah -- as a transplant living in LA, I tend to associate both Compton and Inglewood with '90s gangsta rap. (Though I'm not sure any actual rappers were from there -- it's more the line about "Inglewood always up to no good" in "California Love" than anything else.) </p><p> </p><p>

But yeah -- according to the 2010 census, 97.1% of the population of East LA is Hispanic. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Los_Angeles,_California" rel="external nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Los_Angeles,_California</a> So while it's not <em>completely</em> out of the question that Frehley is from East LA, most people would hear "East LA" and assume that the wrestler in question was Mexican-American. </p><p> </p><p>

Just a small note! </p><p> </p><p>

(And yes, it's great to see Rich Money backstage... it certainly makes sense that a lot of the non-creative team people we've seen Avatar associating with are jobbers and midcarders, but it's interesting to see the main eventers operate.)</p>

Keeping Frehley's "real life" and "kayfabe" hometowns, though, but will make a few changes to the Doing it for Charlie promos. (EDIT - Just did. In retrospect, keeping Frehley's hometown as East L.A. gives his character a bit more edge, as a black guy mainly getting picked on by the area's Hispanic gangs when he was growing up.)</p><p> </p><p> Regarding Rich Money, I've always wanted to use him more in the backstage stories, and the timing was perfect - he's been showing up in a few positive backstage incidents (taking on Spencer Spade and Part One as proteges), and he also had a backstage argument with Eric Eisen. He started out as a neutral influence, and he's now positive. I've got him written out as a previously aloof type offscreen who's recently started being friendly with the underneath guys...mellowing with age, so to say.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, do expect the Week 1 shows up within the next 12-24 hours! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

3rdStringPG, You could make Rich Money into a sort of Ted Dibiase figure...hated on-screen character, but Ted DiBiase is one of the better guys outside the ring. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Sounds like a good idea...but Rich Money will probably be less religious offscreen. ;)

 

Anyway, here's the Week 1 June Supreme TV! :D

 

 

SWF Supreme TV

Utah Park Reservation (Southwest)

Tuesday, June 4, 2013 (Week 1)

 

 

DARK MATCHES:

 

 

Randy Bumfhole d. Acid via Bumfhole Buster in 7:26 (62/C-)

Darryl Devine d. Lenny Brown (w/Richie Pangrazzio Jr.) via Devine Dream Drop in 6:15 (43/D-)

 

 

SUPREME TV:

 

 

ANGLE - Bowen Announces PPV Lineup, Stipulations (72/B-)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RunawayTrain_alt_zps056edac4.jpg

 

 

A hail of boos rains down in the Utah Park Reservation as the Commissioner, Barry Bowen, hits the ring. He's here to announce the stipulations and some of the matches for Master of Puppets, which is actually most of the matches and stipulations. Several fan signs can be seen upon Bowen's entrance, including "BARRY SOLD OUT" and a very smarky "HEY COMMISH, IS MONEY DATING UR DAUGHTER?"

 

Bowen - It is my pleasure to be speaking in front of you today, dear members of the SWF Galaxy, as I announce the lineup for this June's big pay-per-view event, Master of Puppets. As you all know, Master of Puppets is all about one thing - EXTREME RULES. It's all about special matches and stipulations, and some of the most intense action you'll ever see in an SWF ring. And that's exactly why we mostly did away with contender matches...so intense is the action at Master of Puppets that a lot of the matches have to be decided by yours truly, the Commissioner, a man who's no stranger to the rough-and-tumble Master of Puppets environment as Runaway...

 

Bowen stops in the middle of his shpiel, distracted by the fan's boos and jeers.

 

Bowen - HEY!!! Do you want me to ring Mr. Eisen right now and tell him to call off the event? I'm the Commissioner of the SWF, and it is my job to enforce justice and equality, so I believe you owe me more than just a little respect! (pauses) Okay. Here's how we stand so far, as there are some matches that have yet to be accepted. Randy Bumfhole vs The Zim in a Tables Match is still pending. Christian Faith vs Vengeance in a Steel Cage Match and Brandon James vs Steve Frehley in a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the third spot at the World Heavyweight title match at Supreme Challenge XXXIII, both are pending, though if both men win their matches against their respective opponents from Chase SinCorporated, the matches shall go on. Jack Bruce, who upset the giant Marat Khoklov at Times of Trouble, will be having a rematch with the Russian Bear...in an Ambulance Match. That will take place IF the latter two matches push forward...but if they don't, I'm sure the SWF Galaxy doesn't mind Bruce vs Frehley going Falls Count Anywhere...or Faith vs Khoklov in the Steel Cage.

 

Now where were we...ah, yes. The title matches. Rich Money vs Tom "Angry" Gilmore for the SWF Supreme Heavyweight title will be a Last Man Standing Match. Nothing like seeing two of the toughest and most talented SWF Superstars get it on for the title I introduced, YOUR Supreme TV flagship title. Chris Morrisette will be facing Eric Eisen for the North American title in a Lumberjack Match... (takes a long pause) ...PROVIDED my predecessor as Commissioner wins TONIGHT'S title defense against a mystery opponent.

 

Eric Eisen is shown backstage watching Bowen's announcement, and is beside himself with anger. He can be seen on the Supreme-Tron screaming "YOU CAN'T DO THIS, MR. BOWEN!!!" and being restrained by fellow Entourage members Franklin Huggins and "Bulldozer" Bryan Smith...

 

Bowen - Hey...I'm the Commissioner, man! Save for last week's rematch against Jungle Lord, you've been known to avoid title defenses on Supreme TV, may it be for your North American title or the World Heavyweight title you once held. About time you got what's coming to you. The Tag Team title match will feature the defending champions, The Can't Miss Prospects, choosing their opponents no later than next week. And it will be a Hardcore Match. No count-outs, no disqualifications, all manner of weapons allowed in the ring.

 

The Supreme-Tron now shows Valiant and Jack Giedroyc equally angry about Mr. Bowen's refusal to grant them another shot against The Can't Miss Prospects.

 

Bowen - By the way, Valiant, I like your new hairdo. And finally, SWF Galaxy, I have footage from today's press conference held right before tonight's show. You're probably wondering whom Remo will be facing at Master of Puppets for World Heavyweight in a Ladder Match. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, your Number One Contender for the World Heavyweight title.

 

 

ANGLE - Champion Accepts Remo Challenge (80/B)

Having said that, the Supreme-Tron now plays footage from the earlier press conference where Nicky Champion, looking dapper in a business suit, agrees to take Remo on at Master of Puppets for the World Heavyweight title.

 

Champion (while looking around and guarding against another attack) - This is an honor for Nicky Champion. I'm really thankful to Mr. Barry Bowen, Commissioner of the SWF, for giving me this chance to fight for the SWF's most prestigious and longest-running title.

 

Interviewer #1 - Nicky, you have been subject to a number of attacks on previous Supreme TV shows, and the identities of the attackers remain a mystery. Do you have an idea who's behind all this?

 

Champion - That's a good question. (pauses) You see, Nicky Champion was very skeptical at first. Very skeptical that a man of his stature and reputation would do such a thing to Nicky Champion. But right now, I have no shadow of a doubt in my mind...that Christian Faith is behind this. It all makes sense now, you know? The guy's getting up in age and he sees the emergence of a younger, very similar athlete in myself, Nicky Champion. He gets insecure. So what does he do? He wears a mask so as not to alienate his faithful and hires two thugs to help him out in the beatings. Now Nicky Champion doesn't care if he has to fight twice on Master of Puppets - once in a Steel Cage match against Faith, if he loses one or more of his matches against Chase SinCorporated, then against Remo in the Ladder Match. Nicky Champion would LOVE to see Faith in the ring and teach him a couple of things.

 

Interviewer #2 - And what are those things, Nicky?

 

Champion - Number one...God is watching, Christian. You can't hide behind a mask forever. And number two. (pauses for effect) NICKY CHAMPION...IS MORE!!! THAN JUST!!! A NAME!!!

 

 

ANGLE - Champion Rants About Faith (80/B)

 

 

Barry Bowen continues his announcements and stresses that he is not going to approve Faith vs Champion if Faith loses one of his qualifying matches for the Cage Match...

 

 

Bowen - As you may have guessed, Nicky, that's not going to happen, even if Christian loses tonight, or maybe next Tuesday. I cannot risk giving Remo a tired and weary Nicky Champion as his World Heavyweight challenger! Where's the challenge in that? So sorry, Nicky, you'll have to wait your chance against Faith if you really believe...

 

Bowen's speech is interrupted by the sounds of Nicky Champion's ring music, as he strolls to the ring at a leisurely pace...a trademark of Champion entrances since his USPW days.

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_alt.jpg

 

 

Champion - If you can give me one good reason why you believe Christian Faith did not attack Nicky Champion, then I'll accept your terms.

 

Bowen - Maybe you're forgetting again, Nicholas. I call the shots. I'm the Commissioner, man!

 

Champion - Fair enough, but let me tell you something. Nicky Champion does not accept cowardly attacks by masked individuals in an attempt to slow him down for what I now accept as a title match against Remo! Is YOUR Almighty Dollar behind this? Maybe they are, but for now, Nicky Champion is more inclined to believe Faith, possibly Frehley, possibly The Allied Forces, are behind these attacks. Nicky Champion doesn't need any more corroborating evidence, because the proof...is in the papoose pudding. When I was up against Vengeance last week, Brandon James was in his corner. And those three unwise men beat down on Nicky Champion. Then on Vengeance. Then on James. Who's got beef with SinCorporated more than Faith and Frehley? One or both of 'em is behind this, Mr. Bowen, most probably Christian, and it's YOUR JOB to get Faith in the ring with me. And if Christian and Steve see it fit, it's THEIR JOB to prove to Nicky Champion that they didn't do it. And if they didn't...

 

 

ANGLE - Faith Booked Against The Zim, Frehley Booked Against Ginsberg, Champion Booked Against James (70/C+)

Now it's Christian Faith and Steve Frehley's turn to explain, and they enter the ring to the latter's ring music of "Will They Die 4 U" by Mase, Puffy, Li'l Kim and System of a Down. Frehley looks especially unhappy about Faith getting blamed for the attacks...

 

Frehley - You talkin' s--- about Christian? You tryin' to blame him for somethin' he has too much class to do? Listen here, Nicky. I used to think Christian was behind this. But I soon realized...that my man Christian would rather eat Vengeance's stinkin' s--- rather than beat down on a person whom he RESPECTS, a person whom he feels has nowhere to go but up! He's been buildin' you up, man, been hypin' you whenever he could. So don't you go around pointin' fingers without getting your facts straight first.

 

Faith - Steve's right, Nicky. I see huge things for you, and the last thing I would do is to disappoint the SWF Galaxy by acting like a man with no Faith. There's someone else behind this, and while we cannot say for sure whom he is, I can assure you, with God and my Faithful as my witnesses...that it's not me. And neither is it Steve.

 

Champion - Let me tell you something, Christian...Nicky Champion isn't saying he's in league with Vengeance and his tribe of crazy, sinful people. But they DO...MAKE...SENSE! You hate Vengeance. You hate James. Who else would kick their asses but you, and do so with your thugs in short order, while takin' me out in the process? You...are jealous of me, and I'm disappointed you had to act this way.

 

Faith - Hate is a powerful word, and a powerful emotion. And so is distrust. Think before you speak and act, Nicky. Words of wisdom from a Supreme Legend, one who has, and always will have faith.

 

Champion still refuses to believe Faith and is about to exit the ring and charge at him when Bowen restores order with his one-word catchphrase...

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_alt.jpg

 

 

Bowen - HEY!!! Try as you may, Nicky Champion, to make Champion vs Faith take place, it WILL NOT TAKE PLACE! At least not yet it won't, because for tonight, I have coordinated with Ms. Chase, and I've approved the following matches. Christian, you shall be facing The Zim. Steve, be prepared to take on the grand-nephew of one of America's great beat poets...Asher Ginsberg. And you, Nicky, shall be having a match with Brandon James. And you won't have to face The Can't Miss Prospects, according to Ms. Chase. Win all three matches tonight and I'll make it happen - Christian's cage match against Vengeance, and Steve's Falls Count Anywhere match against Brandon James.

 

Frehley - Now wait a minute there, Barry.

 

Bowen - MISTER Bowen.

 

Frehley - I'mma call you what I wanna, because y'all ain't...you know what I'm gonna say and it ain't gonna be pretty. (pauses) Are you telling us that we have to rely on this ingrate's help in order to get the matches we want for Master of Puppets?

 

Bowen - Ms. Chase submitted them. And I approved them. Now if you three would please return to the locker room and give the other SWF Superstars a chance to entertain the paying customers here at Utah Park Reservation?

 

Frehley and Faith reluctantly head back to the locker room and Champion does the same as the announcers hype the night's first match - Vengeance against Mikey James, after the break.

 

 

Mikey James (w/Frankie Perez) vs Vengeance (w/Ms. Emma Chase) (58/D+)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/MikeyJames.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SkullDeBones_alt.jpg

 

 

- This is the first time we're seeing Mikey James on the A-show in quite a while, so it's a fair guess he'll be getting walked all over on by Vengeance.

- Vengeance no-sells James' karate attacks as Jason Azaria talks about a "little fact you may not know" about the SFO Dragon - his dad's Irish-American, his mom's Japanese, and he's a black belter in karate and a former California state kickboxing champion. For smarks, those are a lot of facts that they already know!

- James puts up a valiant effort but with Vengeance no-selling from the opening bell to Ric Young's three-count, he's an easy victim via Skull Krusher.

 

WINNER - Mikey James,er...Vengeance in 4:17

The Allied Forces are backstage, looking desperately for the Commissioner, with Jack Giedroyc looking especially livid. Valiant tries to restrain him and act reasonably as the Forces finally spot Bowen having just finished talking with Ms. Emma Chase.

 

Giedroyc - What gives, Mr. Bowen? You booked almost everything, announced the stipulations, announced contingency matches...but NOT the tag team title match!

 

Bowen - Hey, Giedroyc, no need to get your panties in a bunch! (chuckles sarcastically) It's not up to me whether The Can't Miss Prospects face you next Saturday on Master of Puppets.

 

Valiant - We know, Mr. Bowen. It's Ms. Chase's call.

 

Bowen (chuckling again) - Neither is it Emma's, er...Ms. Chase's.

 

Giedroyc - Really now? Do you mean we have to go out there and challenge The Can't Miss Prospects ourselves?

 

Bowen - Do that if you wish, but I don't think that's going to get anywhere.

 

Giedroyc (under his breath) - I'm gettin' sick of this tool...

 

Valiant - Jack! Take it easy, man, we've got this one in the bag. We just have to wait...

 

Bowen - I heard EVERYTHING you said, Giedroyc, but since I've got bigger problems to deal with than two impatient tag team contenders asking me to draw blood from a turnip, I'll ignore it. (pauses) Just be patient, okay? I'm sure you'll get the answers you want if you wait it out a bit.

 

The Allied Forces turn their backs on Bowen and immediately vent out their anger at the man.

 

Giedroyc - That wanker isn't only in with Money...he's in with Ms. Chase! MY former employer!

 

Valiant - He most probably is, Jack, but you've got to take it easy and let me handle the talking next time.

 

Giedroyc - Alright, Val, because the next time Bowen tries givin' us the runaround, he just might get Crashed On...the right way.

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Jimi Adams (29/E)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/HighFlyinHawaiian_zps7ae43974.jpg

 

 

The announcers get everyone pumped for Thursday's premiere episode of High Stakes, and talk about eight rookies and their eight SWF Superstar mentors, and how only one of these rookies would get a guaranteed SWF contract with "all the bells and whistles." One of the eight rookies vying for that guaranteed slot is Honolulu's own Jimi Adams, who's decked out in a suit as he briefly describes who he is and what he's about, as we also see a brief video of Adams surfing and several photos from his younger days.

 

Adams - My name is Jimi Adams, and I'm the High Flyin' Hawaiian. I grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii, and as far as I can remember, I always wanted to be an SWF Superstar. My idol right now? Jungle Lord, brah. (imitates Jungle Lord's catchphrase) JUNGLE LORD WIN! (back to normal voice) But I'm gonna be workin' with Jimmy Prudence, my namesake, my fellow high-flyer and surf aficionado, and that's good enough for me. (pauses) One thing you gotta know about me - six percent body fat. I may look short and stumpy, but this physique? Lord knows the number of girls I had to turn down because I was, and I am, already taken. (pauses) I'm really honored to be part of the inaugural season of SWF High Stakes. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that you're part of something really big. And I know I'm going to be big in the SWF.

 

The hype vignette ends with a graphic with Adams' face on the bottom right and James Prudence on the left corner of the screen - "JIMI ADAMS - 21, Honolulu, HI. Mentor - JAMES PRUDENCE."

 

 

Christian Faith vs The Zim (w/Ms. Emma Chase and John Greed) (70/C+)

- This is probably the first time in ages we're seeing Christian Faith and The Zim tangle up, on account of the latter's heel turn. And chances are we'll be seeing Faith end The Zim's undefeated run since turning heel.

- Like Mikey James earlier, we see The Zim showing off by giving Faith some karate-esque moves. Faith is unfazed until The Zim goes for a Russian legsweep/flying elbowdrop combo. Shane Stones counts ONE...KICKOUT!

- It doesn't take long for Faith to recover, and when Emma Chase tries interfering by showing The Supreme Legend the "dollar signs", he ignores her. A powerful clothesline at 4:30 ends The Zim's premature celebrations.

- Not even John Greed with chair in hand could get in the way of a Faith win; Stones warns Greed about the chair, and returns to the action right in time for Faith to gutwrench piledrive The Zim and take him out with the Leap of Faith. ONE...TWO...THREE! Two squashes down, one to go!

 

WINNER - Faith in 6:09

 

 

ANGLE - Randy B. Accepts The Zim Challenge (65/C)

 

 

Faith is about to mount his Harley and ride it backstage when Randy Bumfhole appears at Aegalaeus Position with a few words for his fallen brother...

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RandyBumfholealt.jpg

 

 

R. Bumfhole - Well, will you give it up for The Supreme Legend, Christian Faith! You and Steve have two more steps to Master of Puppets and as for me and my brother, that's exactly why I'm here. (pauses) I'm gonna let you all in on a few secrets about my brother Zimmy. The reason why he's actin' so hung up and stuff about this change in image and alliance with Chase SinCorporated? There are actually two. Are you ready?

 

The crowd cheers Randy on as he starts spilling the dirt on Zimmerman Walpole "The Zim" Bumfhole...

 

R. Bumfhole - You know the first reason why he's acting like a trying-hard lothario? Well, it was HIS idea that we speak like doofuses on national TV and PPV. And the second, and MOST important reason? (takes an especially long pause) Zimmy is the jealous OLDER brother.

 

This gets the crowd even more popped, even if a lot of the smarks in the audience have long known that Zimmy is actually a year and several months older than Randy, and not the other way around. Meanwhile, Zimmy is up, somewhat alert, and angry, though still groggy enough to remain in the ring.

 

R. Bumfhole - Don't believe me? Google. Oh, and another thing, Zimmy. Regarding that tables match you want at Master of Puppets? You got it...BROTHER. (to the fans) I'm gonna show all of you Bumfhoholics of the SWF Galaxy that I didn't just teach that uber-late bloomer Zimmy a thing or two about the opposite sex. I also taught him everything there is to know about tables.

 

 

ANGLE - The Eisen Entourage Rants About Hero Squad (68/C+)

The announcers continue their High Stakes hype by introducing tonight's guest backstage interviewer, Eve Runcord, who will be working on the new reality-style B-show starting on Thursday. Runcord's first interview subjects are Franklin D. Huggins III and Squeeky McClean, the tag team "specialists" of The Eisen Entourage.

 

Runcord - Good evening, SWF Galaxy! I'm Eve Runcord, and I'll be seeing YOU on USA Sports 1's new sports entertainment program High Stakes, where eight rookies are going to be vying for one groundbreaking, lucrative and GUARANTEED contract with the SWF! I'm here backstage right now for Supreme TV, and...what can I say? Finally, a chance to meet and greet my favorite SWF Superstars! Men like Christian Faith, the hyper-talented Jack Bruce, Steve Frehley and...

 

Huggins (interrupting Runcord's hype) - ...Franklin D. Huggins III and Squeeky McClean of The Eisen Entourage. You free tonight, baby?

 

McClean - We've got beer, all sorts of bar chow, loud rock 'n' roll music, and even more beer! Though personally, I don't care for beer. (to Runcord) I hope you're straight-edge. I have little interest in the ways the Entourage chooses to corrupt their bodies, but because they're fun and edgy...

 

Interestingly, Squeeky is on crutches, which is the first thing Runcord notices...

 

Runcord - What happened to you, Squeeky?

 

Huggins (ignoring the question) - What happened to Squeeky isn't important. What's important, baby...is whether you're doin' anything after the show.

 

McClean - If you really must know, Captain Atomic and Jungle Lord beat us up yesterday on Uprising and I'm in no shape to compete. But fear not, Entourage fans...the Dozer will be taking my place.

 

Huggins (still trying to put the moves on Runcord) - Hey, you're almost as tall as that girl Rich Money's dating! You're going to LOVE the Dozer. Bryan Smith, former All-American offensive tackle for both the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Syracuse Orange.

 

Runcord (looking disgusted) - I can tell this interview's going nowhere fast, so do you two have anything to say about Hero Squad, whom you'll be facing tonight? Oops, I mean whom Franklin and Dozer will be facing...

 

Huggins (making game show buzzer sound) - WRONG!!!! You've got a LONG way to go before becoming the next Ana Garcia. But that's cool, baby, because...

 

Runcord - My name is Eve. Eve Runcord.

 

Huggins - And I'm Frank Drunkard! (laughs at his own corny joke) Hero Squad? Three words, Eve...JUNGLE LORD LOSE. And Captain Atomic? We're the Kryptonite or whatever of that wannabe kid-friendly superhero.

 

McClean - Hero Squad won't get as lucky as those Cali Dragons did yesterday.

 

Huggins - What are you talking about, Squeek? It was YOUR refusal to help that did us in!

 

Runcord - Well, there you have it! Things are still looking contentious between Franklin Huggins and Squeeky McClean, though I understand he won't be able to see action tonight. Still, we've got ourselves a barnstormer coming up in a bit...The Eisen Entourage, meaning Huggins and Dozer Smith, versus Captain Atomic and Jungle Lord, a.k.a. Hero Squad. Back to you, Peter, Duane and Jason!

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/PeterMichaels.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DuaneFry_alt1_zps74306767.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JasonAzaria_zpsdb70ab90.jpg

 

 

Fry (from announce table) - Hey! What does she get out of stealing MY line?

 

Michaels - Relax, Duane! You hardly use it anymore!

 

Azaria - Except maybe if he's calling an Almighty Dollar match! Do stick around, SWF Galaxy, because later on tonight, we'll be seeing Angry Gilmore and Chris Morrisette of the Men Unda Pressure take on Remo and Rich Money of The Almighty Dollar. We've got, just as what Eve was saying, Hero Squad vs a slightly different Eisen Entourage tag lineup. But up next after the break, it's going to be Steve Frehley vs Asher Ginsberg...only here on Supreme TV, on C.A.N.N.!

 

 

Steve Frehley vs Asher Ginsberg (w/Eddie Envy) (69/C+)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SteveFrehley.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AshCampbellalt_zpsada67e04.jpg

 

 

- Frehley doesn't waste a second...the moment his ring music plays, he charges the ring and attacks Ginsberg before the bell with all the punches, elbows and chops he can muster! The bell rings, and Frehley quickly goes for a gourdbuster on Ginsberg. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!

- Ginsberg is hardly able to get any offensive moves in, as Frehley no-sells an early clothesline. Frehley tries going for a piledriver, but Ginsberg slips out and catches the Dark Destroyer with a low blow. Frehley barely sells it and after a few more token strikes from the Hungry, Hungry Hipster, he's back in business.

- The match ends when Eddie Envy tries to interfere by attacking Frehley with a chair...Envy goes for the chairshot, but it lands smack dab on Ginsberg's face in what's undoubtedly shades of Paul Huntingdon's incompetence from the Chase Agency days! Frehley goes for the pin after a swinging DDT on Ginsberg. ONE...TWO...THREE! No Comet, no problem! If Barry Bowen is to be believed, all we need now is a Nicky Champion win against Brandon James to get Faith vs Vengeance in a Steel Cage Match and Frehley vs James in a Falls Count Anywhere Match at Master of Puppets.

 

WINNER - Frehley in 5:08

 

 

ANGLE - Money Promo (89/B+)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_alt1.jpg

 

 

The arena is up in arms once again as Rich Money takes to the ring with "It's All About the Benjamins" playing in the background. He hoists his Supreme Heavyweight belt high in the air and gets booed even louder. After giving the audience a condescending look, he gets his mic from the stage hand and starts doing one of those things he does best - ranting about Jack Bruce and the Men Unda Pressure and addressing other issues. Meanwhile, the crowd is clamoring for Bruce and cheering "SHOWTIME! SHOWTIME! SHOWTIME!", much to the Moneyman's chagrin.

 

Money - You MARKS want Showtime? Well, boo-hoo, Salt Lake City, because there isn't gonna be any Showtime tonight...unless you're thinking about Remo and myself dominating Jack Bruce's miserable failures of associates, Tom Gilmore and Chris Morrisette. (pauses) Where's Jack? Go play Where's Waldo all you want, because, in case you chose to ignore what I said earlier, Jack isn't here. He's touring the Western states, hyping his upcoming album, singing that awful excuse for a future number one rock single, "Rich with Nothing." You know what? I actually did a bit of research into that song. It's a cover. And it sounded much better in two minutes than Jack made it sound in six minutes. But who am I to critique the music that paupers listen to? The stuff they're too cheap to buy, hence the proliferation of file-sharing services that allow people to gain the proverbial "something for nothing?" So tonight, marks of the SWF Galaxy, shall be the Almighty Dollar Show. Now that's Money.

 

You know what else is Money? Commissioner Bowen's stipulations. Next Saturday, June the 15th, Remo will exact REVENGE on that loud-mouthed Native American nobody Nicky Champion for refusing the Money opportunity of a lifetime...to join The Almighty Dollar. Are there any Ladder Matches in Miami? Betcha there aren't, because old man Stragavelli can't afford them ladders. As for Gilmore vs Money? Yeah, go on about how Tom Gilmore nearly beat me at Times of Trouble. He got the blood flowing alright, but at the end of the day, he couldn't hack it. He couldn't put me away. So a Last Man Standing Match would only work to my advantage. Because you can make me bleed, break some bones and have me crashing against Spanish announce tables, English announce tables and barricades. But you can't put Money away just like that, not even with Tommy Boy's so-called Fear of Gilmore, Wrath of Sanity, Anger Management or whatever he wants to call that move of his. There's only one man who can possibly beat me in a Last Man Standing Match, and he's on my team - he's the World Heavyweight Champion, Remo. And wouldn't it be nice to see Marat driving Bruce to the hospital if and when that Ambulance Match happens? And since anything goes in those types of matches...that's actually what we'll be talking about next, because it's not just Chase SinCorporated who recognizes that there is strength in numbers.

 

Since The Almighty Dollar reunited three months ago, we've been doing pretty well for a three-man organization, four if you count Duane Fry, two if you consider that Fry doesn't wrestle and Marat Khoklov, the Russian Bear, is our Once-a-Month Special. But don't you marks go around thinking that we're going low profile and not rushing out to get ourselves more gold. Just because we didn't mention it last week doesn't mean we're not going to do it! And we just might do it when you don't expect it. That's Money - the element of surprise, the feeling of outsmarting the Men Unda Pressure and the out-of-shape, dead-end-job common men and women who root for them. So with that having been said, expect nothing less than the destruction of Gilmore and Morrisette, especially with their leader cavorting around with the metal scene's leftover groupies. And expect more money to change hands...and more Money representing The Almighty Dollar. Just remember, SWF Galaxy MARKS...we're Money. And neither you nor your "showtime"-centric heroes the Men Unda Pressure will never be.

KP Avatar is backstage, dressed in a sequined jacket and trunks despite the fact he's not scheduled for any match tonight. He's singing the Temptations' "Cloud Nine" in tenor, bass and falsetto parts, though his singing is interrupted by the sight of a pumped-up Captain Atomic and morose Jungle Lord.

 

Avatar - Hey, Jungle Lord! Hope you're feelin' better already...

 

Jungle Lord - Mmmpfff.

 

Avatar - Aw, come on, Jungle Lord! Whatever happened to "Jungle Lord Win"?

 

Jungle Lord - Jungle Lord no care.

WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT AGAINST THE TREACHEROUS TAG TEAM OF FRANKLIN HUGGINS AND BULLDOZER BRYAN SMIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!!!!

Hero Squad vs The Eisen Entourage (Huggins and Dozer, w/Squeeky McClean) (63/C)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AtomSmasher.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JungleJack.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/FreddyHuggins_zpsdafa29d9.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BulldozerBrandon_alt6_zps0941735d.jpg

 

 

- As we found out earlier, Squeeky McClean was injured severely in the recent Uprising beatdown at the hands of Hero Squad, and he's acting as cornerman, wearing crutches. Eric Eisen is just a few feet away at the announce table, joining Peter Michaels and Duane Fry for this match on commentary.

- It's an odd choice considering his lack of push, but Dozer's kicking the match off against Captain Atomic. Atomic no-sells the first few of Dozer's attacks, but is taken out by a powerful drop suplex. Darren Smith counts ONE...KICKOUT!

- Atomic quickly tags Jungle Lord in and he looks disinterested all throughout. That's why from the first to fourth minutes of this match, it's all Eisen Entourage double-teaming. After several false finishes, Huggins goes for the Huggins Kiss on Jungle Lord. ONE...TWO...VERY CLOSE CALL, AS JUNGLE LORD KICKS OUT!

- Jungle Lord's finally showing some bite as he counters a Backdrop Piledriver from Dozer, and in 30 seconds, he gets the hot tag in to Captain Atomic, and he's cleaning house! He clotheslines Dozer, forearms an interfering Huggins and steps out of the ring to scare Eisen back to the announce table! Atomic gets back in right in time and barely misses a crutch swing from McClean...who doesn't look too hurt after all.

- Atomic tags Jungle Lord in for a double-team move on Huggins - Mushroom Cloud plus Jungle Jack-Jammer. Jungle Lord still looks dejected, but he looks determined nonetheless as he prepares to splash the fallen FD3...but McClean once again tries to swing his crutch at the Wildman! Darren Smith calls for the DQ and it's over. HERO SQUAD WIN!

 

WINNERS - Hero Squad in 7:04 via DQ

 

 

ANGLE - Hero Squad Argue, Gets High Stakes Mentoring Job (64/C)

Backstage after the win, Captain Atomic still doesn't understand why Jungle Lord is still upset.

 

Atomic - JUNGLE LOOOOOOOORDDDDDDDD!!!!! WE DID THE UNTHINKABLE AND EMERGED WITH AN UPROARIOUS UPSET OVER THE OVERWHELMING ORANGE OBLONGATA CALLED THE EISEN ENTOURAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!

 

Jungle Lord (clapping unenthusiastically) - Jungle Lord no care.

 

Atomic - WHAT DO YOU MEAN JUNGLE LORD NO CAAAAAAAAARE!!!!!! WE WON THE MAAAAAAAATCH!!!!!! (lowering his voice) We won, Jungle Lord. We did it. We showed them. (screaming again) SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T CAAAAAAAARE?!?!?!?!? (stops his screaming and notices his cell phone beeping from his bag) It's the Atomic Apparatus sending me signals.

 

Captain Atomic pauses to read the text message on the "Atomic Apparatus" and relays the good news to Jungle Lord.

 

Atomic - "Congratulations, Capt Atomic and J. Lord. C-Mo chose diff rookie. U two will mentor Calum Nelson at High Stakes on Thurs." (once again, screaming) WE'RE HIGH STAKES MENTOOOOOOOOOOORS!!!!!!! THIS IS OUR BIG CHANCE, JUNGLE LORD!!!!!! TIME TO SPREAD THE GENIAL GOSPEL OF HERO SQUAD'S CHILD-FRIENDLY CRUSADE TO FIGHT OFF THE EVILDOERS OF SUPER SUPREME TELE-TELE-TELEVISIOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Jungle Lord (sotto voce, still unenthusiastic) - Calum Nelson bad man.

 

The announcers wonder what's so bad about Calum Nelson, one of the High Stakes rookies, and tease his hype vignette, which will now have to be updated now that Chris Morrisette, his fellow Pittsburgh native, is no longer mentoring him.

 

 

ANGLE - Money Signs McClean (72/B-)

Eric Eisen looks like he'd rather be somewhere else as he sullenly hands his North American belt to Franklin Huggins. He doesn't seem too interested either in who his opponent will be tonight...but soon enough he gets the answer, as Rich Money's ring music plays and the Moneyman stands a few steps from Aegalaeus Position.

 

Money - Well, hello there, Son of the Boss. Been a while since I last ruined your championship dreams, hasn't it? Well, let me tell you right off the bat that as SWF North American Champion...you aren't money. Sure, your dad has a lot of it, but all you care about is getting drunk...getting fat...and getting laid. This man over here cares not for booze or cancer sticks or any sort of illegal drugs or unprotected you-know-what-but-can't-get-any. Eric, you may know him as your sycophant, but I see him as someone who's more than just that. He is one of the most technically-skilled individuals ever to step into an SWF ring, and the master of one of the deadliest submission maneuvers since Sam Keith left us high and dry and took his Proton Lock with him. With that, Eric, I present to you the opponent Mr. Bowen has booked for you tonight...

 

Money reveals Squeeky McClean as the latest member of The Almighty Dollar, and Eisen cannot believe it - his most loyal companion since he had Marat Khoklov working for him in the World Heavyweight Champion days, now working for the Moneyman. And as suspected earlier, he was just faking his injury.

 

E. Eisen - This...this is an outrage. How could you, Squeeky? I kept you in the loop even if you weren't a Tau Alpha Epsilon brother. (pauses for effect) JUDAS!

 

McClean - I think Mr. Money over here would be able to explain things better than I can...you beer-swilling, junk food-eating party boy. Can somebody roll the footage from yesterday's Uprising? You know, the little talk I had with Rich before the Entourage tag match.

 

The Supreme-Tron now shows a blurry video of Squeeky and Rich Money talking backstage and consummating a deal that would have McClean moving from one heel faction to another.

 

Money - Money well-spent indeed. (pulls out his wallet to count his money, then proceeds to paraphrase the Mastercard slogan) There are some things being the Son of the Boss can't buy, Eric Eisen. For everything else...there's Rich Money. (to referee Ric Young) Hey, Baldy! Mind if you get those two spoiled frat brats out of there?

 

Ric Young tells Franklin Huggins and Dozer Smith to head back to the locker room, and the remaining Eisen Entourage twosome comply. Both men merely stare angrily at Money and McClean as they trudge reluctantly to the locker room.

 

 

Eric Eisen © vs Squeeky McClean - SWF North American title match (60/C-)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EricEisen_alt2_zps23d12aee.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SqueekyMcCleanalt.jpg

 

- As this is a heel vs heel encounter, the fans are divided on whom to cheer for. Some fans take advantage of the odd pairing by going on bathroom breaks, but those still glued to the match seem to favor Eisen more than they do the weasely McClean.

- McClean goes to work right away by confounding his former boss with an array of submissions and rest holds, but Eisen elbows his way out of a headlock and sets McClean up for a DDT. Eisen manages to let out a hyena laugh before pinning Squeeky. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!

- Rich Money, who's commentating with Peter, Duane and Jason, talks about how Squeeky is the most underrated SWF Superstar out there, as the sneaky ex-Entourage member has Eisen trapped in the Clean Out at around 4:30. Eisen manages to grab on to a rope and break free.

- The crowd remains apathetic at around 6:00, when Eisen returns to the offensive, clotheslining McClean out of the ring so he can smash him against the steel steps. Money, however, leaves the announce table and helps McClean back into the ring.

- Eisen looks all ready to set up The Supremacy when once again, Rich Money steps away from the announce table to distract the Supremacist Champ. Eisen is thrown off long enough for McClean to jump him from behind and set up the Stain Removal. Ric Young doesn't lift a finger against Money but pounds the mat eagerly as McClean goes for the cover. ONE...TWO...THREE! We have a NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION just a week and a half before Master of Puppets, and it's another heel - two-time champ Squeeky McClean.

 

WINNER - McClean in 9:07. Squeeky McClean is the NEW SWF North American Champion.

 

 

ANGLE - Morrisette Beats Down on McClean (74/B-)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/LobsterWarrior_alt.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SqueekyMcCleanalt.jpg

 

 

McClean is enjoying his new champion moment and holding the North American belt up high when he is jumped from behind, not by the Entourage, but by Chris Morrisette of the Men Unda Pressure! As we now know, Chris Morrisette was named number one contender for North American by Commissioner Bowen, and as a result of Eric Eisen's title loss, it will now be McClean vs Morrisette at Master of Puppets in a Lumberjack Match for North American. Morrisette is able to get just a few punches in when McClean hightails it out of the ring with Rich Money, every bit the coward he's always been in his SWF heel runs.

 

 

ANGLE - Champion Gets Ready (76/B-)

 

The announcers remind the fans at home that if Nicky Champion wins his match against Brandon James, Christian Faith vs Vengeance and Steve Frehley vs James at Master of Puppets are all good to go. Champion, as he often would, psyches himself up by dancing in his Native American headdress ahead of his match.

 

 

Nicky Champion vs Brandon James (w/Ms. Emma Chase) (78/B)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_alt.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BigCatBrandon_alt2.jpg

 

 

- This is, as the announcers note, a rematch of Champion's first-ever SWF televised encounter, and Brandon James looks intent on dashing Christian Faith and Steve Frehley's hopes of being part of the ultra-aggressive and intense "extreme rules" spectacle known as Master of Puppets. He starts off strong with a swinging neckbreaker on Champion, followed up by a legdrop from the second rope. ONE...KICKOUT!

- James, ever the epitome of Pride on Chase SinCorporated, celebrates a few seconds too long after a simple sidewalk slam on Champion. This allows the Hawkeye to capitalize in the third minute and take control with an elbow from behind and some stiff chops to the chest of the SinCorporated EVP.

- The fifth minute sees Champion go for his Papoose Piledriver on the bigger James, which thankfully ends a sequence of rest holds that may have been too long for comfort. Champion covers, and Jez McArthuer starts counting. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!

- James, however, is able to regain the upper hand a few minutes later, as he clotheslines Champion over the top rope and joins him for the ride; this gives Big Money a chance to give Champion a big boot and powerbomb him onto the floor! We're now at around 9:40 and Champion looks out of it...until he crawls back into the ring at McArthuer's eight-count.

- This is the cue for Champion's second wind, as he starts whooping, hollering and feeding off the energy of the Utah Park Reservation crowd! Much to James' chagrin, Champion dodges a clothesline and comes back with a running shoulderblock that knocks the big guy down! He's really feeling it now, as he goes for the dreaded Hawkeye Hammer, a simple elbow smash accented with some theatrics.

- James is down, but before Champion could cover his foe, Ms. Chase uncovers herself and flashes them dollar signs! Champion appears to be coming on to the Chase SinCorporated CEO, but is quick enough to notice James recovering and going for a Brandon Bomb Drop from behind...

- The Bomb Drop misses, and after a couple open minutes, Champion is all set for another Papoose Piledriver, which puts James to sleep after its execution. Looks like we've got a winner, and he's more than just a name! McArthuer counts ONE...TWO...what's this?

- Once again, it's the three mystery men from the last few Champion beatdowns, still wearing masks and using generic attacks so as not to get found out! McArthuer frantically calls for the bell and disqualifies James, giving Champion the win and effectively scheduling both the Faith-Vengeance Steel Cage Match and Frehley-James Falls Count Anywhere Match. Meanwhile, James staggers out and leaves the ring, assisted by Ms. Chase...

 

WINNER - Champion in 14:21 via DQ

 

 

ANGLE - Faith Saves Champion from 3-on-1 (77/B-)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ChristianFaith.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_alt.jpg

 

 

The arrival of Christian Faith for the cavalry save sees Faith cleaning house on the three beatdown artists. The attackers are out of there in an instant after Faith totally mows them down with a few basic shoulderblocks and clotheslines. With the ring now clear, Faith aids Champion to his feet and both men stare at each other for a few seconds. Champion finally realizes that Faith wasn't responsible for the attack, and both men shake each other's hands as the mystery of Who's Been Attacking Nicky Champion remains unsolved. This is something the announcers debate about as Faith and Champion reconcile after their brief row.

 

Michaels - This has got to be the work of The Almighty Dollar. Clear as day, guys, Rich Money is behind this, and the big guy doing his dirty work could be none other than the SWF World Champion himself, Remo.

 

Fry - Peter, you are jumping into conclusions again. How many times do I have to tell you that The Almighty Dollar doesn't have a need to wear masks?

 

Michaels - Who knows how many people are running with the Moneyman right now? Well, we now know that Squeeky McClean has joined the group, but who knows...Money may have quietly expanded his faction without telling anybody in the SWF Galaxy.

 

Azaria - Not surprising if he would have done that. And not surprising if those three masked men are new recruits we don't know about yet. The Almighty Dollar may have quietly become larger than Chase SinCorporated, with none of us the wiser!

 

Michaels - Well, the important thing is that Christian Faith is innocent, and that Nicky Champion understands that. Still, you have to wonder...Rich Money's still mad at Champion for refusing his offer to join The Almighty Dollar, and you heard him say as much earlier. Could he have paid off these three thugs to do his bidding and take out Nicky Champion?

 

Fry - If he did, then that's his decision and his money to spend, Peter. Now you better take back what you said. Rich Money and Remo, and now Squeeky McClean, they do not need masks to conceal their identities. They do what they want to do, when they want to do it, and that's because they're Money.

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Calum Nelson (45/D-)

 

 

And now we have our second High Stakes hype vignette for the night, though the announcers immediately advise the fans watching at home that Chris Morrisette will no longer be mentoring Calum Nelson on the show - he'll now be mentored by Hero Squad, Captain Atomic and Jungle Lord.

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NelsonCallum_zpsa092a595.jpg

 

 

Nelson - I'm Calum Nelson, from Pittsburgh, PA, and I am YOUR inaugural SWF High Stakes Champion. I'm also a male model who's posed on the pages of GQ. With Chris Morrisette, my fellow Steeltown native on my side, there's no way in hell I'm gonna lose this. My man Chris, he's had to deal with a lot of adversity in his career. For years, man, he was Lobster Warrior, a character for kids. Where's the fun in that? You're a grown man, an entertainer, someone who's part of the largest, most popular sports entertainment promotion, not just in America but in the WORLD, and you have to wear...a LOBSTER SUIT? Come on, dude! That's not what Calum Nelson is about. Growin' up in Pittsburgh, while the dorks in school were playin' their video games and, I dunno, playin' with themselves, I was trainin' for this moment. People said I had no life. People said I was no fun. But they sure stopped bitchin' the moment the GIRLS started droolin' and swoonin' over me. You don't get to be a successful male model and FUTURE SWF Super-Duperstar with your Xbox, your PlayStation, by sittin' on your ass all day and dreamin' of what you want to do. You've got to take ACTION, and that's just what I did. Me and Chris, we're gonna take the Supreme Wrestling Federation by storm. And when that happens, the SWF Galaxy's never gonna forget the name Calum Nelson.

 

We don't see any hype graphic in this vignette due to the change in mentors, but we do see a lot of modeling pics and a lot more from Nelson's younger days as a popular high school hunk.

 

 

Tom "Angry" Gilmore (w/Jessie) and Chris Morrisette vs The Almighty Dollar (w/Squeeky McClean) (88/B+)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AngryGilmore.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/LobsterWarrior_alt.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Remo.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_alt1.jpg

 

 

- Tonight's main event promises to be a barnstormer, comments Duane Fry, as Tom Gilmore and Rich Money start things off in the ring, without a doubt a preview of what we'll be seeing at Master of Puppets. Money tries to take control immediately by Irish whipping Gilmore to The Almighty Dollar's corner - Squeeky McClean is cheering Money and Remo on as they illegally double-team Gilmore this early on in the match.

- Gilmore, fortunately, is able to tag Morrisette in, as the two Men Unda Pressure show off some interesting double-team maneuvers of their own. The open nature of this match, however, ends at around 5:20, as Morrisette is unable to get Remo trapped in the C-Mo Clutch; the Alpha Dog breaks free of the hold attempt and executes a painful spinebuster on Morrisette! Jez McArthuer counts ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!

- Morrisette is still able to survive this power move, and gets to tag Gilmore back in at 6:00. Gilmore pops the crowd by ducking from a Remo clothesline attempt and using his momentum to execute a spike piledriver on the Alpha Dog. ONE...TWO...Remo kicks out!

- Unfortunately, the Men Unda Pressure's strong run is interrupted with Morrisette again looking like the stable's weak link. C-Mo is hoping for an impact move at around 8:15, but gets the move reversed by Remo, who goes for the belly-to-back suplex and nails it! ONE...TWO...KICKOUT and the double-teaming continues.

- All throughout this match we see McArthuer calling everything down the line - no bias, and no fear in reprimanding The Almighty Dollar for their cheating. With Morrisette tossed outside the ring at 11:00, Money, Remo and McClean all take turns on C-Mo before McArthuer tells all three of them to cut it out lest he disqualify them.

- Money and Remo continue their double-team action inside the ring, though the Moneyman is getting increasingly frustrated with McArthuer's honest officiating. He lets Jez have it after a Bank Roll on Morrisette results in a two-count.

- As Money continues arguing with McArthuer, Morrisette starts going for the hot tag...it comes right on time as Gilmore starts unloading on Money, firing away recklessly and preventing Remo from stepping in! McClean tries to help but he is angrily pushed off the apron - no pun intended - as the rally continues.

- Money is the legal man in the ring and is trying to tag Remo when Gilmore goes for his finisher, the Anger Management...and gets another big pop from the audience! He's got Money where he wants him, and McArthuer is about to count, when another distraction appears in the form of...THE BALD REFEREE, RIC YOUNG!

- Now it's Gilmore's turn to get frustrated, as Young keeps arguing with McArthuer. He threatens Young from inside the ring, looking back every now and then to see if Remo's trying to jump him from behind...but it's not Remo who interferes on the Almighty Dollar's behalf! It's Des Davids, who has just Quarterback Sacked Gilmore as his Can't Miss Prospect tag partner Marc DuBois watched from outside. McArthuer is torn, but he reluctantly does what he has to do as legal man Money hooks Gilmore's leg. He counts ONE...TWO...THREE and gives Rich Money and The Almighty Dollar yet another dirty win. Hey...at least he did try to be honest.

 

WINNERS - The Almighty Dollar in 17:04

 

 

ANGLE - Pull-Apart Brawl (70/C+)

 

 

It's utter chaos in the ring as Money and Remo, joined by Squeeky McClean and The Can't Miss Prospects, do what they could to tear apart the struggling tag team ahead of Master of Puppets. Yes, that's right - it looks like Money has, in effect, bought all the additional gold for The Almighty Dollar, as the faction now has all the belts in the SWF, except Shooting Star. That said, Uprising could see yet another stable member getting introduced...or purchased from somewhere or someone.

 

The cavalry save comes in the form of another unexpected worker - head Man Unda Pressure Jack Bruce! Apparently, his concert has just wrapped up, as he's hitting the ring in a leather jacket, leather pants, a bandanna and a Painful Procedure t-shirt underneath the jacket. Bruce, Gilmore and Morrisette continue duking it out with Money, Remo, McClean, Davids and DuBois as the announcers hype one final High Stakes vignette before calling it a night...

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Nate Lee (45/D-)

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/FroSure_zpsacac4019.jpg

 

 

Lee - To my parents and my homies, I'm just plain old Nathaniel "Nate" Lee, but if you've been checkin' out the up-and-coming hip-hop artists from the SoCal scene, you probably know me as Fro Sure. (pauses) I grew up in Inglewood, California, down in the South Bay of L.A., home of The Great Western Forum, a place immortalized back in '99 in a li'l coming of age film called The Wood. (pauses) My mentor is gonna be none other than Steve Frehley, my homie from the East Side. What I like about Steve is how he rose above all that adversity. As one of the few African-Americans in East L.A., he had it hard back in his youth. Good thing he had skill in the squared circle. I had music to help me rise above...as well as a fair amount of in-ring skill. (pauses) I see myself as an entertainer, having cut records on Brother Grimm's label and played in hip-hop clubs, I'm used to performin' in front of crowds. I've got a basic, yet effective brawling attack, and while I might not be as big and strong as Steve, I make up for it with hard work...and a lot of guts. Those traits are gonna help me become the first-ever SWF High Stakes winner...and win that guaranteed contract as Supreme's next blue-chip superstar. You can call me Nate...you can call me Fro...but you can also call me a winner.

 

The vignette, which also features videos of Lee in the recording studio and images of his independent hip-hop albums, closes with the following graphic - "NATE LEE, 22, Inglewood, CA. Mentor - STEVE FREHLEY."

"This is Not Our Day Job - First Psychedelic Garage Jobbers Rehearsal/Recording"

 

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Plan B Multimedia SLC (band recording studio)

6:00 p.m.

 

 

As June started, we were seeing in full the ramifications of one drunken escapade on a flight from New York to Hawaii. Of course, Big Smack Scott had just gotten sacked, and even for someone who once saw him as a friend, he was no big loss. As Eddie Cornell said a few days before, the locker room was better for Scott getting fired. Kurt Laramee, who had ably assisted the Smacker on the Flight to Disaster, was busted down to Rhode Island, and word from the RIPW guys was that his manager, Venus Angeletti, couldn't stand him. Acid was reduced to the role of Roger Cage's interference guy, instead of a potential upper midcard fixture. As for The Platinum Blondes, I figured they'd keep getting pushed into the background, but then again, Freddy and Jimmy weren't really troublemakers. And they didn't flash any stewardesses or play music not fitting for the occasion or pee in the aisle or bully smaller wrestlers in the name of play-wrestling.

 

Now you may be wondering - Squeeky McClean, self-righteous ass-kisser onscreen and aging "gatekeeper" type, now the North American champion. Has creative gone insane? Here's the thing - creative wanted a heel North American champion, preferably someone whom Rich Money can buy out in storyline. But the Flight to Disaster changed things...a bit - it seemed that Eric Eisen was getting punished for his involvement in the Flight to Disaster by being asked to drop the strap to another heel, namely his own stooge Squeeky McClean. Now it was Squeeky in The Almighty Dollar and Eric without any gold on his waist, still too obnoxious in storylines to get over as a face. Jerry Eisen was also set to be punished - Marv Earnest didn't fly on the Flight to Disaster because his wife gave birth. Now that Marv was back, it would be Jerry getting taken off air (though not actually suspended) in favor of Rich Money, who was still hoping to acquire himself a Shooting Star champion or title contender.

 

No wonder the Eisens suddenly started hating on Rich. The real-life turn of events somehow led to the Almighty Power Trip storyline moving forward, as Rich boosted his ranks faster than planned. Instead of Rich buying The Can't Miss Prospects on TV and Eric Eisen on Master of Puppets, he ended up buying BOTH Squeeky and the Prospects on TV, as a major belt changed hands on free television, a rarity these days in pro wrestling.

 

By comparison, we jobbers, no, make that Psychedelic Garage Jobbers, had it good. We had much less to worry about, and for once, we had enough time and money to book a few hours at a local recording studio in Salt Lake City. Not to mention, Tracy Brendon was able to skip an AAA show by telling Anne Stardust and Catherine Quine she had "transport issues." Somehow, Ash had the bright idea of recording the entire rehearsal, since we could afford it anyway. If you ask me, the stuff we recorded wasn't going into any box set of rarities four to five decades down the line...

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RemmySkye.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/TracyBrendon_alt_zpsbbdc940b.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KPAvatar.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AshCampbellalt_zpsada67e04.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/CameronVesseyalt_zpsccca34c0.jpg

 

 

"God, Ash, you're terrible," lamented Cameron Vessey. "But at least you'll be wearing a mask so people can't tell who you are."

 

"Come on, Cam, cut me a little slack here! I just bought my bass two weeks ago and you know I don't have time to practice..."

 

Tracy tried to break things up between Ash and Cam, though they weren't actually fighting. "Relax, guys, KP said this is gonna be a fun band. Now Ash, let me see if I can teach you some chords. What song are we doing next?"

 

"I dunno, Trace," replied Remmy, who looked stoned out of his mind though mellow as always. "Anything, I guess."

 

"Well, we can't arbitrarily play anything and expect it to sound like gold," I reasoned. "Let's try some of the songs on Remmy's list and see how it goes. Yeah, I know Ash over here said we record the whole session, and I know some of you may be conscious and stuff, but let's ignore the red recording light and just let 'er rip. We've got a free day. Let's have fun with this and..."

 

"Win one for the Kipper?", quipped Remmy.

 

Damn you, Roger Cage. But then again, thank you. Now I've got myself another catchphrase and who knows, maybe a larger role coming up as the guy who helped Jungle Lord get his mojo back. We shall see...

 

 

9:00 p.m.

 

 

Finally, our three hours were up, and we were somehow able to get three songs down pat - "Dirty Water" by the Standells, "Good Day Sunshine" by the Beatles and, in a spur of the moment thing, a crude version of the Guess Who's "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" with me on vocals and Remmy just sitting back and wishing it was 4:20 somewhere. To Remmy's credit, he always had his music collection loaded up in his phone. And he was more than happy to share it with us and give us suggestions.

 

We were packing up and thinking of where to have a few post-recording beers, when the engineer beckoned to me from outside. There I also saw my girlfriend, Dawn the Cheerleader, looking bored, and Tracy's husband, Josh Taylor, looking like he liked what he heard. The engineer looked to be in his late 40s or 50s, and kinda reminded me of this veteran wrestler who did occasional jobs in the big promotions, Larry Wood. He was big, burly and bearded, yet spoke in a high, nasal voice made husky by what I assumed was a two-pack-a-day cigarette habit.

 

"You the leader of the band?", Mr. Larry Wood lookalike asked.

 

"Yeah, sorta. We're actually a democracy here, just five wrestlers..."

 

"Wrestlers? No wonder you look familiar. You're that guy psyching up Hero Squad, aren't 'ya?"

 

"Yup, that's me."

 

"And...sufferin' succotash, isn't that Dawn the Cheerleader in the lobby? And that guy, that...that...that boring guy!"

 

"Yes, Sir."

 

The engineer confirmed my suspicions about his bad habits by lighting up a cigarette. "You know what, kid, you're probably the only one who's got real talent in the studio. But I've been around the business since the '70s, seen some real s---ty bands stink it up, includin' some bands that I played in, but you guys...God forgive me and I hope you wrestlers don't go loco on me...you guys are the worst!"

 

I didn't know whether I should laugh or bash the engineer's face in. As I stood there in silence, he continued dismissing our lack of potential.

 

"But I'm also gonna give you credit for havin' a great look. Got a vocalist with purple and green shoulder-length hair, then there's you, a brother who plays rock music and wears his hair in short dreads..."

 

A brother? Man, this guy was really living in the hippie era.

 

"...your bassist looks like one of those pretentious hipsters from the East Coast and can't play for s---, you've got this really hot lead guitarist with the tattoos and the piercings and..."

 

"...that's her husband," I said, pointing to Josh's direction. "That really boring guy you were talking about. He wrestles in the SWF too."

 

Briefly, the engineer's face turned white as a sheet, but he continued on. "And your drummer looks like an average Joe, though I bet he can kick my ass if I called him out on his drumming. Though yeah, he ain't that bad. You got a great look...Psychedelic Garage Jobbers. That, plus your jobs in the wrestling circus industry, that could get you somewhere. A lot of bands with s---loads of talent, like Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple or Who-caliber talent, they don't make it 'cause they look like f---in' accountants."

 

That seemed a bit presumptuous on his part, because for me, looking the part of a rock musician apart from playing the part was overrated. And as expected, the Larry Wood doppelganger engineer left us with these closing words of advice.

 

"Now all you need to do...is work on that talent."

 

Will do, Utah version of Larry Wood. Then again, this is a for-fun band, and we have no intentions of quitting our day jobs anytime soon. For a lot of us, it's Sunday nights on Uprising counting lights. But it sure beats working the usual 9-to-5 office job.

HIGH STAKES:

 

 

ANGLE - Michaels Psyches Up Nelson (54/D)

 

 

The show starts with all eight rookies standing in the locker room as Peter Michaels briefs them ahead of High Stakes' inaugural episode. He looks at one of the rookies, Calum Nelson, who was originally supposed to be mentored by Chris Morrisette. Michaels asks Nelson to head to the ring and cut a promo against the nefarious Rich Money of The Almighty Dollar, as Money's rookie Dave Newton can be seen cringing in the background. Michaels and Nelson then leave the locker room, with Michaels joining Katie Cameron at the announce table and Nelson entering the ring with a mic in hand.

 

 

ANGLE - Nelson Rants About Hero Squad (60/C)

 

 

Instead of ranting about Rich Money as Michaels had asked him to, Nelson uses his five-minute promo time to launch a diatribe against his would-have-been mentor, Chris Morrisette, but mainly against the cartoonish members of Hero Squad, whom he totally despises as mentors. Nelson is especially critical of the now-mopey Jungle Lord, whom he compares to those "ugly kids in school who can't even get the English teacher to go out with them to the prom", and Captain Atomic, who reminds him of "those comic book nerds who save their virginity for Black Widow or Jean Grey." Nelson also takes some time to talk about himself and his modeling career, and how he's going to bring back the legacy of Joe Sexy to the SWF.

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Kirk Jameson (49/D-)

 

 

Kirk Jameson's hype vignette has been edited accordingly to have him talking about Chris Morrisette as his mentor, and in here, we also hear him talking about being "Boston bare knuckles champion" before learning the art of submission wrestling. He says he's glad to finally have a mentor on hand, and one of the best in the SWF at that, and offers some apologies to Calum Nelson, who was originally supposed to be mentored by Morrisette. Just like everyone else whom we've seen so far in the hype vignettes, Jameson expresses confidence that he can win it all in the inaugural season of High Stakes.

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Dave Newton (30/E)

 

 

Next in our collection of hype videos is Davis Wayne (Dave) Newton, a 25-year-old from Ontario who was drafted by both the NHL as a defenseman and the CFL as a strong safety, while winning several provincial titles as an amateur wrestler. He says he loves hitting people, and back when he was playing minor league hockey, he earned the nickname "Mr. Penalty Box." Newton talks about how Rich Money is the best mentor a young wrestler can ask for, and with Money's guidance, he's got a better chance than anyone else of winning the first-ever SWF High Stakes season.

 

 

Kirk Jameson (w/Chris Morrisette) vs Dave Newton (w/Rich Money) (30/E)

 

 

An awful opener for such a highly-touted "wrestling reality" show, to say the least. Rich Money, who's guesting on the announce table, doesn't seem to have any rapport with Katie Cameron. Jameson and Newton, on the other hand, are also failing to click in the ring. It's a mercifully quick match that ends with Jameson ignoring a Rich Money distraction and defeating Newton with his finisher, the Bulls-Eye.

 

WINNER - Jameson in 6:28

 

 

ANGLE - Captain Atomic Rants About Nelson (48/D-)

 

 

Eve Runcord is backstage interviewing Hero Squad, and Jungle Lord is still looking down in the dumps, refusing to utter anything except a few unintelligible grunts. Captain Atomic, however, is all pumped up and screaming at the top of his voice about how "MALE MODEL CALUM NELSON IS A MAJOR MAJOR MALFUNCTIONING MODEL OF MALEFICENCE" and how Hero Squad is still determined to teach the youngster about the SWF way and how to reach out to the "little protons and neutrons and their large hadron parents."

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Ryan Turner (32/E)

 

 

Next on the list of hype vignettes is "Rockin'" Ryan Turner, who starts out with an unmistakably Canadian "How's it goin', eh?" and talks mainly about his background in the indie wrestling scene and his "side project", a speed metal band called Bad Idea. He says that he may be the oldest of the eight High Stakes rookies, but with his active, busy lifestyle and "lust for life", he's the youngest in spirit. Turner is apparently "stoked" to be mentored by The Awesomeness, Huey Cannonball and Jefferson Stardust, though he adds that if he wins High Stakes, and he knows he can win it, he could be better than the two of them at some point in the future.

 

 

Ryan Turner (w/The Awesomeness) vs Tommy Alexander (w/Brandon James) (11/F)

 

 

Brandon James watches coldly from outside the ring as his rookie, Tommy "Scythe" Alexander attacks Ryan Turner while in full costume - that's what makes Alexander unique among this group of rookies. Alexander, unfortunately, is caught unawares when Turner leaps into the air, lands a neckbreaker on him, and takes to the ropes for the Six String Shooter. James looks very upset as Darren Smith makes the three-count and awards the win to Turner.

 

WINNER - Turner in 4:40

 

 

ANGLE - James and Alexander Beat Down on Turner (31/E)

 

 

James enters the ring, gives Alexander a good dressing down, and asks him to prove his worth to the SWF and Chase SinCorporated by attacking Turner as he celebrates. Alexander complies, and is joined by James as rookie and mentor beat down on Turner and threaten to do the same to The Awesomeness, who step in and try to break things up. More referees run in to break things up before the 6'5"-315 James and the 6'10"-328 Alexander can make The Awesomeness their next victims.

 

 

ANGLE - Eisen Hypes McKenzie vs Lee (45/D-)

 

 

Eric Eisen is being interviewed backstage by Eve Runcord, as he talks about how his rookie, Laz McKenzie from Jamaica (actually Lassana Makutsi from Kenya), is THE next big thing in the SWF, and how he's going to destroy Steve Frehley and his rookie Nate "Fro Sure" Lee. Eisen, however, is less willing to talk about his recent North American title loss to Squeeky McClean, as he avoids Runcord's question and stalks off with McKenzie to prepare for the match.

 

 

Steve Frehley and Nate Lee vs Eric Eisen and Lazarus McKenzie (52/D)

 

 

In another example of bad in-ring chemistry between rookie and mentor, Frehley and Lee don't appear to be meshing, but that should actually fuel the storylines going forward, as you'll see in a bit. Eisen seems to be teaching McKenzie quite well in the art of cheating, as both men illegally double-team Frehley and look primed for an upset. Frehley, however, tags Lee in, and after a brief run of offense from the rookie, Lee pays the price for showing off for too long. Lee finds himself taken out with a Buffalo Souljah from McKenzie - a move known as Out of Africa when McKenzie was working under his real name, Lassana Makutsi.

 

WINNERS - Eisen and McKenzie in 6:05

 

 

ANGLE - Frehley and Lee Argue (55/D+)

 

 

Frehley is now in the ring and looks extremely upset with Lee's performance. The two men are arguing loudly about style vs substance, and Frehley is overheard shouting "That's the problem with you South L.A. types!", which upsets Lee. Still, the rookie remains respectful as he walks backstage and acknowledges the cheers of the Grissom Auditorium fans. Frehley remains in the ring, still seething, and is interviewed right away by Peter Michaels.

 

 

ANGLE - Frehley Rants About Lee (51/D)

 

 

In an extremely charged interview, Frehley complains about his rookie Nate Lee, and how his showboating cost the team a win against a man who had just lost his North American title belt. He openly questions the wisdom of having accepted a mentoring job, when he knows he should be preparing for Master of Puppets and helping Christian Faith train for his cage match against Vengeance. Frehley closes the promo by saying these following words to Lee - "Nate Lee, you ain't s---, you ain't proven nothin', may it be as a hip-hop artist or as an SWF Superstar. I ain't gonna be so patient the next time you f--- up out there in the ring."

 

 

ANGLE - High Stakes Hype Vignette - Jimi Adams (27/E)

 

 

The main event features Jimi Adams taking on Calum Nelson in one-on-one rookie vs rookie action, but before that, a replay of Adams' hype vignette from Tuesday's Supreme TV is shown - you know, the one with the 6 percent body fat reference and all.

 

 

Jimi Adams (w/James Prudence) vs Calum Nelson (w/Hero Squad) (34/E)

 

 

The crowd seems restless at this point, even if this is just an hour-long show, and they generally don't seem to care for the High Flyin' Hawaiian, Jimi Adams, and the egocentric male model Calum Nelson in High Stakes' inaugural main event. Atomic, despite all that he said earlier about Nelson, is cheering his rookie on as Jungle Lord paces around with his head down. In the end, it's Calum who makes Adams submit by imitating James Prudence's finisher, the Prudential Pain Plan.

 

WINNER - Nelson in 8:09

 

 

ANGLE - Nelson Post-Match Dance (45/D-)

 

 

Captain Atomic hits the ring to do the Dance of Joy with Jungle Lord, but before Atomic can do the dance in an attempt to boost Jungle Lord's spirits, Calum asks the PA guy to play something else and not the Wildman's ring music "Tarzan Boy." With a generic, contemporary bubblegum pop track playing in the background, Nelson starts gyrating in the ring and, much to Atomic and Jungle Lord's horror, grabbing his crotch just like Joe Sexy would've done back when he was in the SWF. Peter Michaels and Katie Cameron at the announce table talk about Nelson's disgraceful display of arrogance in just the first week of High Stakes as the show draws to a close...

 

 

WEEK ONE STANDINGS:

 

Ryan Turner - 1-0

Calum Nelson - 1-0

Kirk Jameson - 1-0

Lazarus McKenzie - 1-0

Tommy Alexander - 0-1

Dave Newton - 0-1

Nate Lee - 0-1

Jimi Adams - 0-1

 

 

Overall Grade - 46/D-

SWF High Stakes Rating - 0.74

OOC - This just in...Big Smack Scott has just found gainful employment! Unfortunately, it's not with Tommy Cornell or Sam Strong. :( (Would've been cool if BSS ended up in TCW! Still, he's free to join the bigger promotions as he's on a PPA deal.)

 

Goofed again and failed to change the venue from Grissom to Gorski. Oh well...

 

 

"Kick 'Em When They're Up, Kick 'Em When They're Down"

 

 

Sunday, June 9, 2013

Grissom Auditorium

6:00 p.m.

 

 

It was a quiet early evening in the Grissom Auditorium locker room, which we had to bear with as the Gorski Ballroom unexpectedly closed for renovation following a rock concert that had turned ugly a few nights back. Most of us hated the Grissom, but for Captain Atomic, a Nevada native, it was all well and good - he was close to home, and could drive over to his parents' place to visit before and after shows.

 

Meanwhile, as I strolled around the locker room, I found myself overhearing some...interesting discussions, as Eddie Cornell and Josh Taylor bonded over pigeons. Pigeons? Really now, Eddie and Josh?

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EdwardCornell_zps798f6aa1.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JoshuaTaylor_zpsaa243071.jpg

 

 

"Wouldn't it be smashing if Kristen let those pigeons loose sometime?"

 

"I dunno, Eddie. I mean, she's real hot and all, but I'm a married man now. The only pigeons for me...are Tracy's pigeons."

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/MarcusMcKing_zps65999f75.jpg

 

Right...pigeons. And in another corner, Marcus McKing was getting the midcarders cracking up over his caricatures of Big Smack Scott (yelling "WEMME TELLJAH SUMPIN', I GOTS NO SYMPY!", with his biceps larger than his head) and Kurt Laramee ("I'M THE TASTELESS KING OF THE STREETS!") and beating the proverbial dead horse. The caricatures were quite funny, though - Marcus had some real talent as an artist, as he'd been drawing editorial cartoons for his high school paper in Oklahoma not long before he became a wrestler. All was peaceful, all was quiet. The Pain Alliance was now a memory, and confined to the funny drawings of Marcus McKing. Until...

 

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JohnGreedalt.jpg

 

"Hey, KP."

 

John Greed? He's a nice guy, but not someone who'd go "Hey, KP" in the locker room unless I had a particularly good...or goofy match.

 

"You're not gonna believe this, man," said Greed. "Pro Wrestling Hits just interviewed Big Smack Scott, and they're gonna be publishing the interview on next week's Straight Shooters."

 

"Oh, I bet he's going to slam the SWF in every way possible," I predicted. "And probably have some choice words for me too. Who'd Kletsky interview this week?"

 

"Paul Steadyfast." John was laughing at the mention of the former TCW midcarder's name. "I dunno, man, June must be open season on the 'roid freaks."

 

"But seriously, KP," continued John, "you might want to prepare for the worst. Kletsky's teasing a number of different topics in the BSS interview. Said they talked about, you know, the usual suspects...Peter Michaels, Richard Eisen, Kurt Laramee. They talked about the Flight to Disaster. And they talked about you, KP."

 

This made me apprehensive. Really did. Scott's words held little credibility in the dirt sheet world, but what if he tried to rewrite history the Scott Sinclair way? What if he tried to make me look like a secret member of the Klubb? What if he tried to make me look like a bad boyfriend to Dawn the Cheerleader? That guy could say or do anything to make someone look bad. In that sense, he was no better than Eric or Jerry Eisen, both of whom had missed tonight's show, and it worried me.

 

"Whatever he says, man, we'll take it with a grain of salt. A huge one," said John, trying to reassure me.

 

Valiant had overheard the conversation and chimed in with one of his '80s references. "Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down. Dirty laundry, KP. We know Scott's full of BS, so don't worry about getting heat, man."

 

I could only hope and pray the rookies felt the same way. Perhaps it would be a good idea to warn them in advance...

Ooh, where's the Smacker working?
