SWF: Sunday Nights Counting Lights - The Continuing Saga of KP Avatar

3rdStringPG · August 19, 2013

OOC - Rest assured I didn't mail this bad boy in, but I think I've recaptured most of that magic despite finishing everything sooner than expected.

Oh, and I just realized I mislabeled the four-way elimination as a "North American" title match instead of "Supreme Heavyweight" in the prediction key. Botchaman-i-ah! Finally, something to smile about after the epic fail from a couple hours back.

UNDER CONTROL (PART 2):

ANGLE - Stone Vignette (56/D+)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EddStone_alt1_zps7116239c.jpg

It would appear as if the SWF really wants to make a lot out of Edd Stone, youngest son of Dan Stone Sr. and the so-called "black sheep" of Canadian wrestling's first family. In this second Edd Stone vignette, we see the "Master of Edd-Fu" (probably not "The 24-Hour Party Animal" as he was called in TCW - too close, perhaps to "24/7 Partay Dudez") entering a trendy nightclub, dressed in a black mesh shirt and tight black jeans that underscore what could be a reprise of his "clubber" (not Klubber) gimmick...

Stone - You want to know my definition of "boring"? Family Night with the Stones. Back when I was a kid, it was always board games with Dan Junior, Duane, Jeremy and Victoria. Or sometimes, my oldest brother Jeremy and his girlfriend at that time, or Jeremy and Dan Junior, they'd take me to an Ernest or a Three Ninjas movie. When I grew older, they'd invite me to go bond as a family, go watch a Bryan Adams concert. They'd be all, "Come on, Edd! Everyone's gonna be there. Dad's gonna let his hair down and party with the kids!" Thanks, guys...but NO THANKS. (enters the nightclub) This is where Edd-Fu thrives...the Maritimes' rich nightclub scene. Lemme show you how Edd-Fu works.

Stone, fixing his hair a bit and lighting up a cigarette (like the Eisen brothers, Edd's a real-life cigarette smoker), is then approached by a big, beefy bouncer played by...RIPW worker Avalanche.

Bouncer - No, not in here, sir, can't you read the sign? (points to a No Smoking sign inside the club)

Stone (making a martial arts pose) - EDD-FU!!!!!

Bouncer - Sir, I don't want to have to ask you twice...

Stone (doing a few breakdance moves on the floor, then returning to a martial arts pose) - EDD-FU!!!!!

Bouncer - Fine, fine, I recognize you now...Mr. Stone. Go on, Edd, enjoy your cancer sticks, everyone's lighting up anyway now that the boss ain't here.

Stone (putting out his cigarette) - Girls don't like that, man! Well, most girls don't. I just wanted to prove a point to anyone who doubts the power of Edd-Fu. (notices a group of pretty college girls at a nearby table) Let's try something out with these fine-looking ladies. (winking his eyes) Well, hello there! You girls come here often?

Girl #1 - Get away from me, you loser!

Girl #2 (actually Venus Angeletti, also from RIPW) - You try too hard, mister! Especially with that shirt of yours.

Stone (making the same martial arts pose from earlier) - EDD-FU!!!!!!

Girl #3 - I knew you looked familiar! You're the SWF's newest and most exciting star, Edd Stone! Son of that boring old coot Dan and brother to those dorks Jeremy, Dan Junior, Duane and Victoria! Brother-in-law to that SWF turncoat...what's his name...Marty?

Stone - Sean McFly. And yeah, he's a dork alright.

Girl #2 - Forget what I said about your clothes, Edd. You are so going places in Supreme!

Stone - Indeed I am, girls, and if I may buy you a drink...EDD-FU!!!!!

Girl #1 - Why don't WE all buy you a drink instead, Edd?

Girl #2 - Now that's what you call Romancing the Stone.

Stone - The Power of Edd-Fu...always greater than the power of being a Stone. Never underestimate it.

Edd.

EDD.

EDD!!!!

Edd Stone.

Vengeance vs Steve Frehley (76/B-)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SkullDeBones_alt_zpsd44c86f8.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/SteveFrehley_alt4_zps4c333206.jpg

- The last times these two men met, they were both on opposite sides of the fence - Vengeance the Chase SinCorporated heel and Frehley an edgy tweener with little tolerance for B.S. And their matches were Worst-Worked Match of the Year candidates, largely due to their utter lack of selling. Tonight's match isn't that different, as several early Frehley attacks, including a particularly nasty-looking uppercut, are all no-sold by the Unhinged Vigilante. Vengeance retaliates with a sidewalk slam on Frehley, but the Dark Destroyer stands up right away from it, appearing unaffected by his opponent's attacks.
- The no-selling continues at 3:10 as a Discus Clothesline from Frehley to Vengeance results in the latter getting up, but once Vengeance responds with a double-handed choke bomb, then a big leg drop, Frehley has no choice but to sell, and lie down as Ric Young counts ONE...KICKOUT! That was quick...
- The earlier sequence, however, sets up a more even and better-sold set of offense from both men, and Frehley even gets to cover Vengeance after a Dark Destroyer Spear at around 6:40. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!
- After a Six Feet Under chokeslam from Vengeance nearly results in a pin at 8:00, Frehley starts gaining momentum after countering an over-shoulder backbreaker and flooring Vengeance with a Launch Pad Suplex. Following this move, Vengeance appears to be hurt, and while he really isn't hurt enough to take time off, he makes it appear as he is, looking helpless as Frehley proceeds to work the back area.
- At 10:00, Frehley is still working Vengeance's back, when Christian Faith heads to the ring to tell his former best friend to cut it out. Here we see the first sign that Faith is genuinely concerned about a man whom he had feuded with countless times over the past six years, and after Faith and Frehley briefly argue, Young cottons on to what's going on and asks the Supreme Legend to leave. "Christian should learn to mind his own business more," says Peter Michaels. "That way, he could focus on what's important, and win that World Heavyweight belt a fifth time."
- The brief distraction had allowed Vengeance to make a brief comeback, looking hobbled by his back as he did so, and after dazing Frehley with a stiff short-arm clothesline, he tries to pick him up for the Skull Krusher. Vengeance, unfortunately, appears unable to do so, and that allows Frehley to break away and set him up instead for the Frehley's Comet! Vengeance is down, looking to be in severe pain, as Young starts counting. ONE...TWO...THREE! Frehley wins the match, and as he exits the ring, he yells abuse at the fans and raises his fist in the air with a Black Power salute, still trying to underpin his controversial heel gimmick.

WINNER - Frehley in 12:19

ANGLE - Jessie Hypes Four-Way Title Match (74/B-)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Jessie.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AngryGilmore_zpsdb22196d.jpg

We've got more backstage interviews as we prepare for the evening's final three matches, and Jason Azaria is now interviewing Jessie Gilmore, wife and manager of Tom "Angry" Gilmore, as they prepare for what should be a very tough, yet interesting four-way battle for the Supreme Heavyweight title.

Azaria - Jessie, considering that your husband Tom has several individuals to be on the lookout for tonight, that should be a very big concern.

Jessie - Yes indeed, Jason. There's Rich Money and Remo, of course, and while they may have had their differences, those are two men who wouldn't pass up a chance to work together to eliminate Tom and cost him the belt. And there's Marat Khoklov, who's still on Money's side. There simply isn't anyone out there with his size and power.

Azaria - But is your husband ready for those three?

Jessie - He already said he is a number of times, and I don't see that changing tonight. There's no doubt in my mind that Tom will be holding on to that title and proving that last month's title win was no fluke at all.

Azaria - I noticed you didn't mention Nicky Champion among the men Tom should be wary of tonight. What do you think Nicky's chances are tonight, and how will his presence play a part in tonight's match?

Jessie (laughing) - Tom and Nicky, they certainly don't like each other, but as you saw in their contender match last July, they respect each other. Nicky's a nice guy for me, personally, though I can understand why Tom believes he runs his mouth too much for his own good. That could indeed be his downfall if he's not careful.

Azaria - What about Nicky's finishing move, the Hawkeye Hammer?

Jessie - I personally believe it shouldn't be banned. Yes, it's deadly alright, but there's nothing that could put the fear of Gilmore into Tom's opponents than the Anger Manage...

Gilmore (grabbing the mic from his wife) - Let me tell you something, Jason. Unlike that conservative redneck Peter Michaels, I don't hate you. In fact, I think you're one of the better announcers out there, and you're just doin' your job. But the questions you're asking my wife...are bordering on silly...so go on, Jason. Get the hell out of the locker room and call this interview over...don't make me change my mind on you and unleash the Wrath of Sanity on you for askin' all those questions...are we cool on that?

Azaria - Uh, Tom, I was simply...

Gilmore - I SAID ARE WE COOL ON THAT, JASON?!?!?

Azaria - Yes, Tom, absolutely. (pauses as he appears scared by Gilmore's trademark outbursts of, well...anger) There you have it...Tom "Angry" Gilmore, living up to his name and essentially guaranteeing that he's dead-set on keeping that Supreme Heavyweight title and putting the Fear of Gilmore in anyone who crosses his path and tries to take the belt away, may it be Rich Money, Remo, Nicky Champion, or, should he try anything funny, Marat Khoklov. We've got three more matches to go tonight, and I now turn you back to Peter, Duane and Ana, and our next match...Valiant defending his North American title against a man who has done a pretty good job getting in the heads of many an SWF Superstar, John Anderson.

(w/Hannah) vs John Anderson - SWF North American title match (83/B)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Valiantalt_zps2d1f1d31.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/HumanArsenal_alt1_zps7506d11f.jpg

- "That man gives me the creeps. Weirdest SWF Superstar I've ever encountered, and that includes Vengeance," says Ana Garcia in reference to John Anderson. Contrary to his usual tendencies, Peter Michaels actually praises Valiant, but makes sure to put over Anderson as a former college All-American in both wrestling and football, and a man to be reckoned with as Valiant's challenger for his North American title.
- Weirdo or not, Anderson is arguably one of the SWF's most talented workers in the ring, a veritable suplex machine with a fair share of submission holds. He starts off strong with an Explosion Suplex on Valiant, followed by an Indian Deathlock that he somehow breaks by grabbing onto the ropes.
- Valiant has yet to mount any semblance of strong offense at 4:30, as Anderson taunts him relentlessly about "paying up" after he helped make him a "better man." Just as Valiant seems to be showing some signs of life, Anderson grabs his woozy foe from behind for a Tiger Suplex, and goes for the cover. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT! Valiant just won't stay down, as his girlfriend/manager Hannah pounds on the mat for encouragement.
- At around 5:40, Anderson goes for a running fireman's slam on Valiant, but that move backfires as the North American champ slips behind Anderson and pushes him hard against the turnbuckle! That's followed up by repeated shoulderblocks against the turnbuckle, as Valiant wills himself to get back in control. He appears to be favoring his knee at this point on account of the earlier Indian Deathlock...
- Still hobbling, Valiant makes his first significant attempt at a finisher, going for a Patriot Missile on Anderson. The former Human Arsenal, however, ducks out of the way, and uses his momentum to set up a reverse DDT neckbreaker! Valiant's out again at 8:00, and Anderson regains control of the match.
- The next few minutes have Anderson trying to wear Valiant down, as he applies a camel clutch on the champ after repeatedly working his knees. After Valiant again breaks that submission, Anderson goes for what should be the move to end the match - a Clear Conscience (ex-Ammo Dump) at 10:30. BOOM! There's no way Valiant will be keeping the belt after that move. Shane Stones counts ONE...TWO...KICKOUT AT THE LAST TENTH OF A SECOND!
- At the 12-minute mark, Valiant has found himself repeatedly stretched, contorted and sent down to the mat by Anderson, but he's STILL not giving up. With that in mind, he musters what he's got left to counter a tornado DDT attempt, and slowly chip away as he hopes to find a second wind!
- Valiant does so by blocking Anderson's basic attacks and his attempts at impact moves, while landing most of his own and eventually stunning Anderson at some points. The crowd's cheering him on and so is Hannah, and at this point she's been joined in Valiant's corner by fellow Pep Rally members Dawn the Cheerleader, Jack Giedroyc and Randy Bumfhole. "SEND 'EM BACK TO THE LOCKER ROOM!", yells Anderson to Stones, but that falls on deaf ears as they aren't doing anything but offering moral support to their stablemate. Frustrated, Anderson tries for another Clear Conscience, but Valiant is able to block the kick-to-the-gut setup move, and instead floor Anderson with the V-Split! Stones counts ONE...TWO...THREE! A loud "WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!" can be heard from both Hannah and Dawn as the triumphant Pep Rally stable leaves Anderson in the ring, and in shock at having lost after controlling most of the match.

WINNER - Valiant in 15:11. Valiant is STILL the SWF North American Champion.

(89/B+)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JackBruce_zps8d6ec515.jpg

The steel cage has been set up for the Jack Bruce vs Christian Faith World Heavyweight title match, and the reigning champ, Jack Bruce, makes his way to the ring with one of his signature "spectacular" entrances! That means pyro, a Supreme-Tron entrance video with more Jack Bruce Band performance scenes than in-ring footage, and a bevy of hot young "groupies" who dress the part. As Bruce, who has a microphone in hand, sings along to his ring music and reaches the same high notes Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford could, Peter Michaels wonders what kind of a band would want to take the name of the traitorous Apostle and add the name "Priest" to the end. Fry replies by explaining the greatness of Judas Priest, and what follows is a heated argument between both announcers, with Michaels accusing Fry of being a "serial groupie" - first, to Rich Money, then to Jack Bruce.

Michaels - See, therein lies your problem, Duane. You're always there where the going is good. If Rich Money's makin' the most noise, you're always there to sing his praises and call him the best damn worker in Supreme. If a messenger of immorality like Jack Bruce is holdin' the World title, you make it appear as if you never dissed him back when you were Rich Money's head cheerleader. You're a serial groupie, Duane, and you know it.

Fry - .....

Michaels - You have nothing to say because you know I'm right!

Fry - What was that, Pete? Sorry. I was looking at the redhead playing air guitar next to Jack. Quite a looker, isn't she?

Michaels - I'm married, Duane, and as I was saying earlier, you're a serial groupie who'd probably cheer on somebody like the Parts Freakin' Unknown if they suddenly up and won those tag titles and scored the upset of the year.

Fry - C'mon, Peter, you know I always liked a lot of Jack's songs even when I was Rich Money's favorite announcer. But right now I want to talk about this match...Jack Bruce defending the World Heavyweight title against Christian Faith. Man, this cage match is going to be one helluva BARNSTORMER!

Michaels - There you go again, changing the topic when you know you're beaten.

A. Garcia - Guys, you've been at each other's throats since the first minute of Under Control, so how about the two of you settle down as we enjoy this match which, as Duane hinted at, is guaranteed to be a classic?

Michaels (sarcastically, in a childish-sounding voice) - Yes, mother, Peter's been a bad, bad boy, just like that long-haired yay-hoo polluting the minds of young'uns like mah'self.

A. Garcia (ignoring Michaels) - We've got two SWF Superstars with indelible legacies, one man hoping to remain the only five-time World champion in SWF history, the other man aiming to be the second, but more importantly hoping for one last hurrah in what has been a magnificent career spanning nearly three decades.

Fry - And that, Ana, is how you describe a BARNSTORMER. Right, Pete?

Michaels - .....

Fry - I guess he's holding it in until his hero, Christian Faith, who doesn't deserve such obsequious GROUPIE-ING, arrives in his Harley.

Jack Bruce © vs
- Cage Match for the SWF World Heavyweight title (75/B-)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ChristianFaith.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JackBruce_zps8d6ec515.jpg

- There are three ways in which one can win this match, and those are pinfall, submission and cage escape, either by climbing out of it or by exiting through the front door. There are no disqualifications in this match, which means anything goes, but then again, the cage essentially prevents anyone from jumping in and interfering, though stranger things have happened in the SWF's long history of cage matches...
- Early on in the match, Jack Bruce makes use of the cage's steel bars, bashing Christian Faith against them when he could, but mostly trying to run rings around the larger, slower and yes, older Supreme Legend. He engages Faith in some Muhammad Ali-esque taunting before going for his trademark Jack Bruce Flurry - punch, punch, dance, punch!
- Bruce's early bursts of offense are short-lived, as Faith parries a second Jack Bruce Flurry attempt, instead going for a Big Boot to the midsection, followed by a shoulderbreaker. They're building this one up slow and steady as Faith goes for a splash on Bruce, then a quick cover. ONE...KICKOUT!
- After Bruce takes over again from the fifth to seventh minutes, Faith rolls away from a flying bodypress from Bruce, and comes back with a legdrop on the fallen Cream of the Crop, then sets him up for the Test of Faith. Used as a primary finisher back when he was younger, Faith normally uses this now to tenderize his foes, and Bruce eventually breaks free from this submission.
- Still, Faith is undeterred by another Bruce onslaught at around 9:30 as he shakes off what would have been a Long Island Trio by selling the first rolling vertical suplex, then breaking the second and setting Bruce up for a gutwrench powerbomb. That's the setup for the Leap of Faith, and with Bruce out cold, Faith teases his main finisher. Instead, he goes for another gutwrench powerbomb, splashes Bruce to be sure he remains down, and signals to outside official Darren Smith to open the front door! Unfortunately, Bruce, groggily crawling towards Faith, pulls him away from the cage door, leaving Faith to try another way out...
-That would entail climbing out of there, and after dodging a Bruce clothesline, Faith responds with a short-arm to knock Bruce down, and follows up with the Machine Gun Faith Hammers, popping the crowd as they chant along with each bionic elbow! Bruce is, once again, out cold, and Faith starts his climb out of the cage at around 11:30. "Let's go, Christian!," yells Peter Michaels. "Show the SWF Galaxy what a true champion is made of!"
- Unfortunately, a Steve Frehley distraction stops Faith in the middle of his climb, and allows Bruce to recover and try to thwart Faith's attempt to escape! Both men duke it out while hanging on precariously, but a hard elbow to Faith's face sends him crashing down to the mat with a loud thud! Crazy bump from Faith as Bruce hangs on, gingerly makes his way to the top rope for an elbow drop, and lands the elbow on Faith. In-ring official Jez McArthuer counts ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!
- It's all Bruce from 12:00 to 17:30, as he tries to knock the fight out of the Supreme Legend with a variety of moves, including a stump piledriver at 14:50 that gets kicked out of. Finally, Peter Michaels has had enough of watching his hero get clobbered, and he bullies his way past a surprised Smith to open the cage door! Michaels rushes in with a steel chair in hand, and uses it to bash a surprised Jack Bruce! Fully enjoying his heel turn, Michaels hits Bruce a second time with the steel chair, but what he doesn't expect is Faith, now finding his second wind with a Faith-Up, grabbing the chair from him and threatening to attack him with it! Michaels exits the cage with his tail between his legs and heads back to the announce table to an angry and upset Duane Fry and Ana Garcia.
- Faith is now fully-charged at 18:30, turning into a no-sell machine as Bruce's attempts to floor him are all unsuccessful! The crowd, now fully behind him and cheering "WE HAVE FAITH!" watches with bated breath a few minutes later as Faith finally lands the Gutwrench Powerbomb/Leap of Faith combo on Bruce, and goes for the cover. ONE...TWO...shall we have a new champion?...NO!!!! BRUCE KICKS OUT AT WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE LAST SPLIT-SECOND!
- The Leap of Faith, however, appears to have resulted in Faith tweaking his knee, the same one he (kayfabe) injured earlier in the year at the hands of Vengeance and his pre-Chase SinCorporated Sons of Sin. Faith appears to be in a lot of pain, and that weighs on him as he heads to the front door to exit the cage...
- Bruce is right behind Faith as he struggles to stay on his feet and prepare to exit through the front door. And, with no advance warning, the slightly dizzy Bruce pulls the proverbial rabbit from the hat as he knocks Faith out with the New York Minute! Bruce is now inches away from exiting the cage, and with Darren Smith preventing Michaels from another interference attempt, the champ steps out and retains the World Heavyweight title against what has been quite a formidable foe indeed!

WINNER - Bruce in 22:13 via cage escape. Jack Bruce is STILL the SWF World Heavyweight Champion.

ANGLE - Bruce and Faith Shake Hands (80/B)

The match is over and boy, what a barnstormer it was indeed. Jack Bruce looks like he's been through hell and back, and as he celebrates outside the ring, hoisting his World Heavyweight title high in the air, Christian Faith finally exits the cage and puts his arm around the champ. The two men exchange handshakes and hug each other after a match well-fought, and celebrate for a crowd now cheering out call-and-response chants of "WE HAVE FAITH!" and "SHOWTIME ROCKS!" Duane Fry and Ana Garcia both applaud Faith for being a class act, while Michaels says something about Faith having defeated himself by going for the Leap of Faith and injuring his knee, instead of having taken the easy way out by just exiting the cage after the gutwrench powerbomb setup. Michaels sounds bitter and petulant about Faith's loss, and while he hasn't outright declared war on Faith, it stands to reason that he may have some other people in mind if he really wants a return to old-fashioned wrestling and good, clean and wholesome role models.

ANGLE - Remo, Money and RPJ Argue About Strategy Against Gilmore and Champion (80/B)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Remo_alt5-1_zps533b9069.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_zps8b6695dd.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Heych-Gee-Cee/CoachDickPangrazzio_zps41445743.jpg

And we're back to where the pre-show started from, but while Remo and Rich Money were both in street clothes earlier, they're now in their wrestling gear as they plot what they hope would be a foolproof plan to ensure a quick defeat for the babyface entrants in the four-way elimination match for the Supreme Heavyweight title. However, as we find out here, 21st Century All-Star stable manager Richie Pangrazzio Jr. has some plans of his own...

Remo - I said it before, Rich. I'm not runnin' no interference for you for the entirety of the match.

Money - I know, Remo. We're gonna do things Almighty Dollar-style just like we agreed. Now if Nicky Champion unloads with the Hawkeye Hammer, I've got that covered...I'll take care of him...

Pangrazzio (stepping in and interrupting Money) - Hold it right there, Rich. Whaddaya mean Almighty Dollah-style? You disbanded the Almighty Dollah when Jack Bruce beat yer ass at Supreme TV @ 20. Remo and I, we've been talkin', and we feel it's best if it's every man for himself, and that means you too, Rich.

Money - Coach Richie, Coach Richie, Coach Richie. Remo here is a long-time friend of mine. You, my friend, didn't even know who Remo was when you decided to unretire and take over as Spencer Spade and what's-his-name's manager.

Pangrazzio - Spensah has nothin' to do with this, Rich. When you disbanded the Dollah, I took over as manajah for Remo, Spensah and Squeeky. You had bettah realize that I run the 21st Century All-Stars, which counts Remo as a membah, while you're back to where you were a couple years ago. A lone wolf. An independent contractah. So if I were you, I'd take that strategy and stick it up where the sun don't shine, because Remo works for me now. Capisce?

Money (waiting for Pangrazzio to walk away before speaking) - You're sticking to the plan, aren't you? My plan, that is, not that washed-up Guido's?

Remo - I don't appreciate your talkin' like that about Coach Richie, but I think yours is better. We take care of Gilmore and Champion, then we take it from there.

Rich Money and Remo exchange handshakes and head to the ring for tonight's main event, though it will definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out for their long-running friendship if they would really have to face off against each other as the last two men standing...

Tom "Angry" Gilmore © (w/Jessie) vs
vs
(w/Richie Pangrazzio Jr.) vs Rich Money (w/Lisa Bowen) - Four-Way Elimination Match for SWF Supreme Heavyweight title (92/A)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AngryGilmore_zpsdb22196d.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_jhd3_zps6393cde3.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Remo_alt5-1_zps533b9069.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_zps8b6695dd.jpg

- Still fuming from Christian Faith's earlier loss, as well as Faith foiling what should have been a vicious announcer-to-Superstar attack on Jack Bruce, Peter Michaels refuses to cooperate in announcing this match, as Duane Fry and Ana Garcia do most of the talking. Former Almighty booster Fry is solidly in Nicky Champion's corner, while Garcia thinks Tom Gilmore will retain in his first PPV defense of his Supreme Heavyweight belt.
- The match is another example of a slow build, as Rich Money calls the flow of the match like a conductor would preside over a classical symphony. He also makes the first cover attempt in the match at around 1:50, following an S.T.O. on Champion. ONE...of course that's a kickout. Rare goof, but for the next few minutes, everything is mostly low-impact blows and rest holds.
- As discussed earlier between Money and Remo, the two good friends and former Almighty Dollar tag teammates/stablemates are using that to their advantage, focusing on Gilmore for the most part at the 6:10 mark. Here we see the next cover here, as a Bank Roll on Gilmore is followed up by Remo leg-dropping the defending champ. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!
- Also worth mentioning is the presence of referee Sam Sparrow - indeed, Money did make sure he pulled out all the stops to ensure him of a win. At 7:30, Gilmore dodges a not-the-Hawkeye-Hammer elbow smash from Champion, and pushes forward to surprise Remo with a German Suplex. As Champion clotheslines Money out of the ring in the background, Sparrow counts a leisurely ONE....as Remo kicks out. Close to eight minutes is too soon to end a match like this, so we can say Sparrow was just "rehearsing" for the real potential match-ending covers.
- Early in the match, Nicky Champion had probably done the least, but as Sparrow was practicing his screwy referee act, he had thrown Money against the steel steps while outside the ring, effectively slowing the Moneyman down. At 10:50, he's on a roll, feeding off the crowd's "LET'S GO NICKY! (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)" cheers and going for a Papoose Piledriver on Gilmore! He then saves the elbow pad-free Hawkeye Hammer for Remo, then Money, as both men crumple to the ground, the wind definitely knocked out of 'em! But just as Champion covers Money, Sparrow can be seen talking to the ring announcer and the timekeeper...

Announcer - Due to orders from the Commissioner, Mr. Barry Bowen, Nicky Champion has been ELIMINATED from the match for use of the banned move, the Hawkeye Hammer!

- Champion is beside himself with anger as he protests to Sparrow and insists Bowen had promised him that the move will remain in his repertoire! Lisa Bowen, the Commish's daughter and assistant, Rich Money's fiancee and the Uprising GM, asks Sparrow to stop the match and has a stage hand play footage of the Champion vs Remo match from the last Supreme TV, where Champion had "nearly killed" Remo with the Hawkeye Hammer. Champion finds this unacceptable, and tells Lisa that "your dad's gonna hear from Nicky Champion alright" as he returns to the locker room and the match resumes.

Elimination #1 - Nicky Champion, DQ at 11:06

- With Champion out, Money and Remo are now free to double-team Gilmore, and as he observes the action, Remo's manager Richie Pangrazzio Jr. keeps telling him to "focus on Rich" and that it's "every man for himself." Say this about RPJ - he's definitely a heel, but he's more principled than the amoral Moneyman. At 14:20, Remo and Money combine for a nasty double-team move - Remo's Destroyer, followed by Money's Dollars from Heaven. Money covers Gilmore as Sam Sparrow counts ONE..TWO..KICKOUT! Gilmore does look quite used to Sparrow's biased fast counts by now...
- At 15:50, Remo finally decides to take Pangrazzio's advice, and as Gilmore continues to recover from their attacks, he surprises Money with a lariat, then after pulling him up brusquely with the Rise and Shine, Remo nails Money with an overhead fallaway slam! Sparrow, looking confused, counts ONE....TWO....and as Money kicks out, one can see where his loyalty lies - Rich Money, and not any ex-Almighty Dollar guy, not even someone who's still an outright heel.
- But Remo's attack on Money prompts the arrival of one man considered more of a threat to Gilmore or Champion than to either one of the heel competitors...

- "I still have Marat." Those words, uttered by Money back when Remo had decided to join Richie Pangrazzio's rather midcard-y stable rather than stick it out with him, reverberate as the Russian monster (and two-time Pro Wrestling Hits "Mr. Star Quality") storms towards the ring to defend his boss! Sparrow turns a blind eye as Khoklov angrily picks up Remo and knocks him out with a Russian Legend Powerbomb! Gilmore is now on his feet, while Money yells "I WON'T DO IT!" repeatedly, insisting that he didn't have anything to do with Khoklov running in and taking Remo out. Gilmore doesn't dilly-dally much, covering Remo as Sparrow has no choice but to count ONE...TWO...THREE, a straight three-count. Strangely, Money didn't make any effort to break up the cover...

Elimination #2 - Remo at 17:23 following interference from Marat Khoklov

- Now we're down to Tom Gilmore and Rich Money, and following the surreal incident, the two men who have feuded the longest over the Supreme Heavyweight title remain in the ring, trading offense and not making any cover attempts for about two minutes. That ends at around 20:00, when Money decides to take Gilmore out with the Bank Roll, having stunned him earlier with a DDT. Alas, the Bank Roll accidentally lands on Sam Sparrow, taking the crooked ref out as Money is, this time without a doubt, genuinely contrite! Gilmore, still a bit dizzy, snap suplexes Money, as replacement referee Darren Smith runs in to relieve Sparrow. Once Smith enters, Money kicks out of a Sky High Elbow at the two-count...
- At this point, Money is almost all out of sneaky tactics to guarantee his retaking Supreme Heavyweight, so he relies on his fiancee to distract Smith as he exits the ring to pick up a steel chair. That floors Gilmore and helps set up a Dollars from Heaven, but he rolls away from that as both men struggle to get back on their feet at the 22:30 mark!
- Money's first on his feet, but Gilmore follows a few seconds thereafter, both men looking spent and wanting to get this match over with. A faint "Let's go home" from Money to Gilmore is the signal...Money goes for the Money in the Bank, but Gilmore deftly counters the move by slipping out of it, instead using his momentum to put the fear of Gilmore into his foe with the Anger Management! The crowd lets out a huge roar as Smith counts ONE...TWO...THREE! Tom "Angry" Gilmore is still Supreme Heavyweight champ, despite all of Money's efforts to take the belt back through dishonest means!

WINNER - Gilmore in 25:51. Tom "Angry" Gilmore is STILL the SWF Supreme Heavyweight Champion.

"I dunno, Eve, I guess I've always been raised by my ma and pa to always give my 100 percent, may it be in the classroom, or on the football field." "I suppose you also give your 100 percent...in here?" "What are you talkin' about, Eve?" Having said that, Eve shed her Catholic schoolgirl uniform as I watched her transfixed, grooving to the sounds of that new band she introduced me to - Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. This music was different. I knew the song they were singing - "Goin' Out of My Head" - but it sounded so different. So relaxing. So...sexy. "Goin' out of my head...over you. Out of my head...over you. Out of my head, day and night, night and day..." Yes indeed, Eve, that's exactly how I feel about you. So this is how it feels. This is what my older brothers were telling me about. And it felt...good. Black on white, white on black, screw the whole segregation thing our elders want to keep sacred. This was true love between me and Eve, the cheerleader. This was... <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/FrederiqueGarcia_bullalt_zps4577a862.jpg</div> "Eve, I...WHAT THE HELL DOES A N----- LIKE YOU THINK HE'S DOIN' WITH MAH DAUGHTER?!!?

No, better yet, Ah think Ah have a good mind to blast your brains out, you f---in' coon." Having said that, Eve's dad turned to her and told her to put her clothes back on. "You and Ah are gonna have a li'l talk later on, missy..." "Daddy, Lamar isn't what you think he is. He's a sweet young man, a lineman for the football team, a candidate for honors..." As I put my pants, then my shirt back on, I feared for my life. "Ah don't wanna hear another word, Eve! That n-----'s gonna dah!" The sound of an angry segregationist, Eve's father Fred. I beat a hasty retreat as I dashed out of the house, hoping that Eve's irate father wouldn't catch up with me. He had a rifle in his hands and I could see him, firing up his beat-up pickup truck and taking aim. Unfortunately, he did. And it was a bullet that got me in the back as I crumpled to the ground, wondering what would become of me, my bands...my teammates...my...

It looks like we may have found ourselves the next Sidney Poitier. The next Denzel Washington. This movie can be what St. Elmo's Fire was to the '80s and Dazed and Confused was to the '90s. John Hughes. Richard Linklater. And now ADAM SMITHERS! I don't care if all you so-called high school kids are in their 20s. You are the young Hollywood stars of tomorrow, and I don't see any of you shining brighter than KP!" Having said that about my awful, nervous acting, Adam turned to his assistant, asking him something I rather would not remember, but nonetheless did. "You made sure to shoot the rump, didn't you?" "Yes I did, Adam." Our [sarcasm]genius[/sarcasm] director and producer Adam Smithers lit up a cigarette, took a few seconds to view the playback of that last scene, and returned with a smile on his face. Not a good sign. "F---ing AMAZING! Now all the girls, meaning Lisa, her cheerleader friends and the other girl extras, can take five for this movie. Freddy too, thank you for that small, but meaningful part. The rest of you boys will have the coming week to shoot the rest of the football scenes, and next Saturday we'll add a couple school scenes in Chapel Hill. Even if we're wrapping up a couple of weeks after The S.E.A.L., we're still on track to finish AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, and because of that, we're painting the town tonight, and it's all on ME!" "Uh, Adam, I heard the SWF hired that Edd Stone kid from TCW. His dad's a real big deal in Canada. He ain't bad lookin', I'll tell you that, and his promos are engaging. Maybe you wanna ring him up and invite him to next week's shooting." "Scott, that is a MARVELOUS idea!" Thanks a lot, Scott. Now I have to face the prospect of probably extending the shooting for another week or two just because of that Big Smack Brain Fart giving Adam more ideas. "We'll probably give Edd a small part, but as long as we can sneak him in the movie, that should be FANTASTIC!" Hey, at least this was Lisa's last week on the set of Idealistic Teacher. Her scenes were done. Now I could get this night over with and concentrate on repairing my fractured relationship with Dawn... A sports bar in this podunk town where we're shooting our Z-movie 11:00 p.m. No such luck. Tried calling Dawn to tell her I missed her and that she did great in her Awesomeness interview at Under Control, but she wasn't picking up. It had been a couple weeks since that unfortunate incident at Flaming Meaux and she still wasn't talking to me. And as I reentered the bar to order another beer, I bumped into two of Lisa's former MAW flames, the men once known as C-V-2, Cam Vessey and Casey Valentine. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/CameronVesseyalt_zpsccca34c0.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/CaseyValentine_zpsca408bd5.jpg</div> "You might as well make the most out of it," said Cam. "Just don't expect her to be a serious replacement for Dawn." "ME AND DAWN HAVEN'T BROKEN UP YET!!!", I screamed, not meaning to vent out on Cam, but he was being too presumptive. "I'm sorry, Cam...hope you're not offended or anything, man. Just going through major stress." "None, man, none taken," Cam replied, turning the conversation over to the High Stakes rookie. "What Cam wanted to say was," said Casey, "you'll want to enjoy Lisa's company while it lasts, you know, while The Architect isn't around, and while you and Dawn are still not talking to each other. "As I said last time, she had daddy issues for the longest time. She resented Barry for being out on the road so often, for never being a father figure to her while she was growing up. And to get back at him, she started foolin' around the moment she graduated from junior high! I should know, man, we went to the same high school, me a year ahead of her." "And in a lot of the same classes," teased Cam. "Shut up, Vessey!" Turning back to me, Casey continued giving me the lowdown on the young lady he'd apparently known for about a decade or so. "Don't get us wrong. We want you and Dawn to patch things up. We just think Lisa may be, you know, a temporary contingency plan." With finality, I strolled over to the bar and ordered myself another cold one. "I don't need a contingency plan, guys." Saturday, September 21, 2013 12:35 a.m. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KPAvatar1_zps5b3cfe33.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/LisaBowen_zps563b5c1c.jpg</div> "Daddy was always like, 'I promise you, honey. We'll bond together when I get back.' But he'd always be out on the road for days on end. He'd be doing Supreme TV, house shows, Be Supreme talks at schools, comic conventions, bit parts in movies. I tried so hard to have Barry Bowen, but instead I got Runaway Train." Way to go, Lisa. You're making me your literal shoulder to cry on, and you still have it in you to paraphrase Nirvana. "I actually think Barry's cool, even if he's tight with the Eisens," I replied, lighting Lisa's cigarette...and lighting up one of my own. "I don't normally do this, by the way." That didn't seem to matter to Lisa, who appeared more turned on by my decision to have Marlboro instead of THC (which Ash Campbell had a lot of, in case you're wondering). "What about me, KP? You know I can be f---ed-up at times. I can party too much. I haven't had the best of luck with relationships..." "You have Nick." "The Architect?", Lisa said, mockingly. "The guy's a trying-hard dork! He may look bad-ass, with all those tattoos and stuff, with his metalcore band, but he's a dork. He's a one-minute wonder." Okay, sounds like too much information to me. "Do you think I'm cool, KP?" Surveying the SWF cast table, where Jeff, Huey, Cam, Casey, Ash, Matt, Greg and Freddy were all a bit too wasted for conversation, I decided to say the words I never thought I'd say when I first met this legendary locker room Lolita. "Yes, Lisa. I think you're cool." <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BigSmackScott.jpg</div> Leave it to the Smacker to make a big deal out of it all. "DID YOU HEAR THAT, GUYS?!?!? KP Avatar, my good friend and running dog, he just told Lisa Bowen he thinks she's cool! Shall we drink to that, people?" "Ah, shut up, Scott, you've had more than enough." The Smacker was drunker than anyone else in the cast table, bleeding Adam Smithers dry with all the booze and food he was ordering, but he was never too drunk to stir up a storm. "Yeah, Scott. KP's right. You've had enough alcohol to float a battleship!" His face turning beet-red in embarrassment, Scott skulked away from our table, and miraculously, he didn't go 'roid raging and cause some serious property damage. Maybe he did mellow a bit after the SWF fired him. But in any case, he was still an asshole. Some things never change... Saturday, September 21, 2013 Holy shit, where the f--- am I? 9:10 a.m. "I must have been through about a million girls I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone" Holy shit, where the f--- am I? And why is that damned Elvin Bishop song playing in the background? "I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love" <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/LisaBowen_zps563b5c1c.jpg</div> And why is this second-generation worker next to bed with me, snoring like a trucker and naked as the day she was born? The last thing I remembered, I was doing a Ralph Wiggum impersonation and quoting his lines from The Simpsons. Lisa said I reminded her of The Architect, who'd pull such stuff - funny, she had earlier called Architect a dork and a one-minute wonder. Then we started making out big-time. And after that, we headed out of the bar, leaving the rest of the Idealistic Teacher cast to talk about what we were planning to do. Dammit...is my phone still with me? Yes, and it's in my pants pocket. "Case and me, we nearly beat the shit outa Awesomeness. For realz, not work." - Cameron Vessey "Dude, how was it?" - Senor Ginsbergo "Now dats showin that Holywood bitch!" - Scott Sinclair "Hello everyone. Casting call is at 8:00 a.m. Sat at the football field. All men in the cast must be there or get fined $100. Thanks!" - Adam Smithers. Oh shit. "KP, I'm sorry. So sorry I chose not to listen. U still mad at me? Let's talk this over @ Uprising shoot. Love you." - Dawn Avatar :-)

EIGHT FACES OF EMMA - $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_alt2_zps68f444bd.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_zpscf039f73.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_alt3_zps88a28ce7.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_zps2641875a.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_alt2jt_zps69155453.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChasealt4_zpsa8cf7967.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_alt10_zps81877673.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Dollar%20Signs/EmmaChase_alt3jt_zpse1ffa62b.jpg

If there's a true catalyst that helped drive the SWF's push for a more risque product in 2013 (though they're not quite there yet, IMHO), it's been the sensual stripteasing of Emma Chase, head of the New Chase Agency stable and a woman of many an identity over the past 15 years she's been working as a pro wrestling manager. From her early years as Darkness Warriors manager Emma Darkness (a very short-lived gimmick), the original "Easy Emma", a promiscuous, and less formal precursor to her sensual businesswoman/sports agent gimmick, "Sk8r GuRL" Emma Extreme in NYCW, to the Chase Agency CEO we know from today's SWF, Chase has worked a variety of diverse gimmicks, and has done a great job in each and every one of them.

Still, none have been more popular than her role as Chief Executive of the Agency...one where she slowly, and seductively unbuttons her top to reveal her bra, with the dollar signs on them. This usually results in her charges' opponent(s) getting distracted, often leading to a flash roll-up, a powerful impact move or finisher, or some sort of heel shenanigans sealing the victory for the Chase Agency worker(s) in question. By popular demand, we've got Ms. Chase herself, queen of the "dollar signs", on the pages of Pro Wrestling Hits, and while I wasn't able to interview her in person (boo!), I did get to talk to her via phone patch yesterday, as she rested in her hotel, all tuckered out after a grueling schedule and the successful PPV that was Under Control.

Pro Wrestling Hits - Really glad to have you join us tonight, Emma, even if it's through phone patch. It's been a while since I've had to interview someone long-distance...

Emma Chase - So sorry about this, Dennis, it's just that I've been all over the place this week. Supreme TV live on Tuesday, High Stakes shooting on Wednesday, Under Control on Thursday, and today, some much-needed rest and relaxation.

PWH - Not a problem at all, Emma, so how shall we start this interview? Lemme see...probably best for me to ask the standard question. How did you get started in the business?

Chase - As a kid, I hated pro wrestling. My brothers, of course, they loved that stuff, but until I was in college and dating this uber-mark, I couldn't care less. Even as a young girl, I knew wrestling was pre-determined, and that faces and heels didn't necessarily hate each other in real life. I'd say that to my brothers, and they'd be like, "What do you know, Emma? You don't watch the shows, so you can't feel the hatred. I mean, look at SAM STRONG! Look at the HATRED he has for Rip Chord!" (laughs) Of course, they smartened up eventually, but that didn't stop 'em from watching. Especially when I started out in DaVE.

PWH - So what was this uber-mark like?

Chase - No, make that a smark, because it was something like 1997, and he'd be going, "No, Emma, Peter Valentine can't properly execute a German suplex. He botched that elbow drop big-time." Or "Giant Redwood, he's even worse than Valentine, but like Peter, those two are getting a MAJOR push in that new Hollyweird promotion. They're part of Sam Strong's posse." We did break up eventually, but by then, it was too late. I'd become interested in pro wrestling, and in my last year of college, I decided to try my luck in the indies, working as a valet under a number of gimmicks.

PWH - Which were?

Chase - Pretty much the same ones you've seen since 1999. Marilyn Manson was really huge in those days, so I had a Manson groupie gimmick. I also tried the sports agent thing, but that lasted only a couple of shows since the promoter, a shady guy named Trenton Evenrud (the notorious owner of the defunct Awesome Max Wrestling - ed.), thought I was too young for it. Evenrud didn't know shit, pardon my language, and the promotion soon faded, but luckily Phil Vibert liked what I did in the indies, so after working a few odd jobs post-graduation, I signed with DaVE and the rest is history.

PWH - Maybe it is, though maybe it isn't, because we've got lots of questions from Pro Wrestling Hits' Facebook and Twitter fans! But first, I think people would like to know how it was like back in the DaVE days. You did work with USPW and NYCW before SWF, but aside from Supreme, you're arguably most recognizable as a DaVE valet. What are your best memories of the promotion?

Chase - I'd say without a doubt that it was the feeling of camaraderie backstage. Whether you were a jobber like Matt Sparrow, a prospect for the future like Teddy Powell and, ugh, Sammy Bach, a veteran main eventer like Eric Tyler or Nemesis, or a non-wrestler like "Extreme Ref" Ryan Holland or myself, or (Kurt Laramee's ex-girlfriend) Cat Jemson, we were all like brothers and sisters backstage. Nemesis would be getting all of us drunk after the show, sometimes indulging his then-high school age son Ash (now Asher Ginsberg in the SWF) and letting him have a couple beers on a non-school day, and in the locker room, guys like Brandon James and the Peak brothers, Doug and Eddie, would be making anyone fair victim for pranks.

PWH - That's a rather unique perspective, I'd say, because from what I've heard, things could get really toxic at the DaVE locker room.

Chase - Who told you, Chris (Caulfield)? You'll have to bear with Chris, he always was the straight man back in the day. Probably will be now that he's in Supreme. We had a lot of fun with Chris, like the time when the Peaks made him a rosary made out of chocolate. We called that incident "The First Delicious Mystery", and Chris got real mad at us for a while, but he got used to it. Or the time we used to pick on Shawn Gonzales, God rest his soul, because his brother Carlos was spending time in jail. Yes, a lot of the boys would go crazy backstage or be real tasteless with their ribs and their jokes, but it was all in good fun.

PWH - How would you compare the SWF locker room to that in DaVE?

Chase - If not for people like the Eisen brothers, Brandon and Jason (Azaria), it'd sure be boring. I guess it's just me. I've always been a "one of the boys" type and back when I was a high school cheerleader, I'd join the jocks in their juvenile antics at times. Sometimes, there's something too Pleasantville, Leave it to Beaver wholesome about the SWF locker room, it's suspicious. But not when those guys are around. They always make sure to lift workers' spirits with their humorous antics, but they also have each other's backs and have a very low tolerance for BS.

PWH - Any comment on some of those workers' reputations as backstage politicians?

Chase (sounding a bit testy) - I don't, because it's just not true.

PWH - I guess it might be best to move on to the fan questions, in that case?

Chase - Absolutely. You know, I'm expecting a lot of "dollar sign" questions, but why not? Bring it on, Pro Wrestling Hits!

PWH - Let's start with one Horatio Dangerous from England, enjoying quiet retirement watching the Big Two promotions and checking out Pro Wrestling Hits for the hottest sports entertainment news and rumors. Horatio's question goes as follows: You're well known for having a passion for the business. Have you ever directed your own storylines? Which ones?

Chase - No, not in the SWF I haven't. Since I joined Supreme, it's always been Sam Keith, and then Peter Michaels directing the storylines, having the SWF's writers take care of the rest and other members of the creative team adding stuff here and there. It's kinda sad, actually. People like Eric and Jerry (Eisen) have such brilliant ideas that get passed on in favor of shitty gimmicks for the underneath guys. I know I have, but I'm not part of the creative team.

PWH - But what about in NYCW? DaVE? USPW? Any ideas you had there that were your actual brainchild, ideas you saw through from the start to the end of the storyline?

Chase - I wrote some of Rich Money's storylines when he was in USPW. We kinda had a thing back then, but that was BS (laughs) No, I didn't say the storylines were a load of bullshit...I meant Before Sammy. Anyway, back when Rich and I worked together for (Danny) Jillefski, I had come up with the idea of a super-stable led by the two of us, both rich and arrogant types who could buy anyone's loyalty. Jillefski approved of it, but added a lot of comedy elements because back then, Rich wasn't getting much of a push. Heck, at least Danny gave the storyline some thought - stuff like that wouldn't have passed muster had we been there when Sam Strong took over.

PWH - Now there's someone who couldn't quite enjoy a quiet retirement - Sam Strong. (laughs) The man's out of the business and yet countless people shoot on him like the things he did happened mere weeks or months ago.

Chase - Good thing I quit USPW by the time the Strongtatorship took effect over there...

PWH - Guess that answers Mr. Dangerous' question, and we're now on to Kilmarnock, Scotland's very own MichiganHero of Team Puwowesu. He's keeping it short and sweet with his questions - first question is, Emma, will you marry me?

Chase (laughing) - You don't know how often I get asked that question...

PWH - I guess he knows the answer to the first question, because his second is this - Why won't you marry me?

Chase - Ah, MichiganHero, one of the prominent members of Team Puroresu, or should I say, Team Puwowesu. No, I won't marry you, and why? Because you're the guys rooting for Alan Parent, the official runt of High Stakes Season 2. But if you rooted for Masked Cougar instead, perhaps I'd reconsider. Voting for Masked Cougar on Week 4 of High Stakes...is good business.

PWH - Love it how you stayed in character when answering Mr. Hero's questions. Now we've got Kieran from Wales, who has a couple of questions, including one that involves one of the IWC's cult favorites among SWF jobbers, KP Avatar. This is a good one, Emma. Would you repopulate the world with KP Avatar if he was the last man on earth?

Chase - Answer to Question #1 - Oh, hell yes. I mean, the guy's like a cute, cuddly teddy bear, if only teddy bears graduated with honors from Michigan State, could sing like a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Luther Vandross, and could drink and party without being a drunkard or an irresponsible party animal. But he's dating Dawn the Cheerleader, and I don't wanna mess with a good thing. KP, if you're reading this, you don't know how lucky you are.

PWH - And indeed he is, because one does not simply become Dawn the Cheerleader's boyfriend! Kieran's second question has something to do with High Stakes, where you and The Zim are mentoring Masked Cougar. Who out of the season 2 High Stakes Rookies or remaining Season 1 High Stakes Rookies, do you think has the most potential to possibly join The New Chase Agency?

Chase - God, anybody but Alan Parent. (laughs) We all know about Alan's shortcomings in the ring, but he's also a major tool backstage. I wonder what Eric and Jerry see in the guy, but he's like your typical annoying poser kid in high school who always wants to hang out with the jocks and tries to look like a guy who knows the rules of the sport when he can't tell a touchdown from a first down. But if I had to choose one, I won't go with Masked Cougar as far as storylines go. In terms of his gimmick matching ours, probably Erick Leigh, the former Masked Patriot.

PWH - Erick Leigh? The guy who tosses out all those old-school wrestling moves like airplane spins, and thinks he can win a match with a full nelson? Doesn't look like much of a Brandon James, John Greed-style greedy businessman to me. Or a pretentious hipster like Asher Ginsberg. Or a sex addict like The Zim.

Chase - Just watch, Dennis. (winks her eye) You'll see why Erick will make such a good fit for the Chase Agency.

PWH - Next on the list of fan questions are two from Canadian PWH reader Eddie Lau. First, does it bother you that despite your years of experience and knowledge of the industry, the SWF can't find anything more interesting for you to do than take off your top and make out with losers?

Chase - I don't wanna give away too much about future storylines, but I know I can't keep showing them dollar signs forever. (laughs) But hey, I'm far from being a prude, and I'm willing to do anything as long as (the gimmick) gets good heat. By unbuttoning my blazer or my blouse and teasing opponents with the "dollar signs", I get the men in the audience chanting for 'em. And they love seeing me fooling around with guys like The Zim even when I'm supposedly in a "personal and professional" relationship with Brandon. Yes, I feel it's getting a bit old, but who am I to complain? At least I'm not being asked to play a country bumpkin like (AAA jobberette) Ellie Mae Walton or a Star Wars reject like (former BSC jobberette) Amy Galaxy.

PWH - Have you ever refused a storyline or angle, either with SWF or earlier in your career? That question's also from Eddie...

Chase - To be honest with you, I haven't. The bookers I've worked with, they all know their stuff, though I admit I had my reservations going braless on that Supreme TV where Peter tried to censor me. But only because I was afraid something would, you know, happen, and that the REAL censors would notice it and give Supreme the third degree and stuff.

PWH - Does that mean you're not above posing on publications such as Playdude?

Chase - Hey, I did a racy spread for SWF Magazine in 2010 back when Brandon and I were feuding with Joe Sexy, so why not? My name's not Hannah Potter. (laughs)

PWH - Now that we're on the topic of dollar signs, we might as well answer this question from Manila, Philippines' Thirdy, the Third-String Point Guard. Emma, when did you start showing the dollar signs, and when do you plan to stop? My girlfriend wants to know because we always fight after Chase Agency matches.

Chase - Back in 2010, during the Brandon James-Joe Sexy feud. It was simply a ploy to throw Joe off his guard, supposedly a one-time deal, but when it started getting so over with the fans, Eric and Jerry had to beg Peter and Christian (Faith), two conservative old dudes, no disrespect meant, to make it a weekly part of my act. And so it was. Over three years and counting, and...ah, what the hell, Dennis. You probably saw hints of it at Under Control. There aren't gonna be any more dollar signs for the immediate foreseeable future! There! I said it. (laughs) Sorry, boys.

PWH - Do I detect a gimmick change?

Chase - Beyond that, my lips are sealed.

PWH - We've got more questions here, and Pteroid's got a couple interesting ones. First, how do you think you stack up to other famous valets in wrestling history?

Chase - Me, against other famous valets? Nah, I'm far from Hall of Immortals in that regard. As I said, I only started watching wrestling in college, when I had a boyfriend who was a huge SWF and HGC (the current TCW) fan, so I'm not sure anyway who those other famous valets are. For me, the original SWF temptress will always be the best, and that's Beautiful Babette. I heard she's turned to religion after years of drinking and drugging it up with the boys backstage, and that's good for her. Still, it would've been nice if the SWF brought her back for nostalgia, you know, during SWF @ 20, or the last Old School Supreme TV. I've got a long way before I match her achievements, and it's too early for me to think of being one of wrestling history's most famous valets.

PWH - And do you ever check up with other DAVE alumni?

Chase - Absolutely. Not too long ago, I got together with Dil (The Wolverine, b. Dilbert Smithson) and his old teammate and friend, The Idaho Punisher.

PWH - Ha! The Idaho Punisher! Man, I remember that tag team he and Wolverine had in PSW, The Deadly Alliance. So why exactly is he punishing Idaho?

Chase - You'll just have to pick up a copy of his book, Dennis.

PWH - Okay, already, let's get back to your catching up with the DaVE guys...

Chase - Wolverine's planning to retire soon, and as you may know, he and Mitch (Naess, PSW owner) had a really nasty falling out in April. The whole thing with Mitch made him suddenly turn around and go, "I'm too old for this shit" Lethal Weapon-style, but if he and Mitch hadn't had all those problems, I'm wagering he would've stuck around till he was 60. Then there's Vin Tanner, who's been in CGC since '09. He's getting the whole pure jobber treatment, no ring music, no fanfare, exclusively used to put over the younger guys. He can't complain, since he's a couple years away from retirement, but it's sad to see how CGC has turned him into a total jobber on account of his age.

PWH - Right. And (Tanner's House of Old School teammate) Brett Fraser too. I mean, Fraser was never the best worker, but he's always been solid, and he was the first man Phil Vibert signed to CGC when he took over in 2009.

Chase - Phil had better give those two a good sendoff. Still, I'm confident he knows what he's doing up north. We remain in touch, him having been the man who discovered me back when I was working indie shows, and I think he's doing a wonderful job with CGC.

PWH - Great to hear, Emma, and I'm sure you're also in good terms with the rest of the DaVE alumni, or at least most of them?

Chase - Most definitely. Everyone except Sammy Bach, actually. (Emma Chase and Sammy Bach dated from 2005 to 2012 and had been engaged from 2009-12, but Bach called off the engagement last year for reasons neither party has disclosed thus far. But if you read on... - Ed.)

PWH - What's the deal with Sammy, if I may ask? I mean, I don't want to turn PWH into TMZ or OMG, but many were shocked when he decided to call off your engagement last year.

Chase - I fooled around once, and he dropped me like a hot potato. But then again, he fooled around HUNDREDS of times, and I forgave him. Time. And. Again. Shall we move on to the next question?

PWH - Indeed we will, and it's from Ricky of Mexico. Who do you see as the most promising youngster in the SWF?

Chase - Nobody gives KC Glenn the respect he deserves. For most of the year, he wrestled as a colorless jobber. No ring music, no chance to get offense in, much less a chance to showcase that nifty finisher of his, Tune Up the Sunshine Band. Unfortunately, it's Tune Up the Moonshine Band now that he's Arkansas hillbilly Glenn Casey, square-dancing around with his kayfabe cousin Ben (veteran jobber Bob Casey, IRL) and still losing night after night after night. Guy was trained by THE Joey Minnesota, another proud DaVE alum. So why can't he get a break? Thick Southern drawl, lack of confidence when cutting test promos, none of which have seen the light of day on TV. But in the ring, he's got the poise of a veteran and the mature in-ring skills and psychology of a man ten years his senior. But he's gonna have to wait his turn, for there's a truckload of young rookies ahead of him in the card.

PWH - And once again, Team Puwowesu's got a question, and it's from Psycho Sam, from Australia. Have you ever thought about reviving DAVE?

Chase - Of course, that thought's crossed my mind several times. I know a couple investors who would have been interested, and, given my years in the business, I know people who could work for the promotion and do a darn good job of giving DaVE a new lease on life. But the sad thing is...somebody else owns the name.

PWH - The SWF?

Chase nods her head as she acknowledges the SWF's 2012 purchase of the DaVE brand name.

PWH - I'm thinking that may have something to do with their rumored plans of splitting into two, or maybe three brands. They bought the name last year, yet haven't done anything with it...

Chase - It certainly does, Dennis, though I can't say when they'll be pushing forward with the brand split, or if they'll even do so.

PWH - Whatever those plans are, we'll just have to wait and see. Lastly, Flavio from Hasselt, Belgium has three, count 'em, three questions, and that's because he had been ardently asking us to interview Emma Chase at some point in the future. Question number one...You've hooked up with several wrestlers storylinewise. Have you ever hooked up with any of them in real-life?

Chase - Only one, and that's Sammy Bach. Probably a reminder why I shouldn't date people from the wrestling business anymore.

PWH - But what about Raul Darkness? Back when you were managing him and Jay (now known as Danny Fonzarelli in TCW), there were rumors that you and Raul...

Chase - Rumors, and nothing more. Rich Money was a co-worker in storyline, but not my storyline boyfriend. We dated for a while, and though there was tension for some time, we're pretty good friends as of now. Brandon James is presently my storyline boyfriend, and though we're best friends in real life, we've never dated. Sammy Bach? Pfffft. Let those two dirty words not get repeated again in this interview! (laughs)

PWH - I'm assuming those two dirty words aren't "dollar signs", for Flavio has brought them up again in his next question. Do you feel comfortable showing the "dollar signs", or is it pushed by the creative team to do it?

Chase - As I said earlier, I have, or should I say HAD no issues flashing the dollar signs, as long as it doesn't upset anyone in the television networks.

PWH - And last, but not the least, which SWF superstar do you find most attractive? Boy, this should be a good one...

Chase - Probably Eric Eisen. People say he's too nerdy for his frat boy gimmick, but take a look at the guy. He's 35, but he looks at least a decade younger. He's a really smart man, very intelligent, a great mind for the business, may it be SWF's dollars-and-cents (aspect) or SWF's storylines. And he's got the wildest, craziest sense of humor. Of course, I'm aware that he's enjoying single life, living it up as a bachelor and dating anyone he damn pleases to date, but many of the women reading this interview will probably agree with me when I say Eric's a dreamboat on so many levels. (takes a deep breath) But as a boyfriend, probably not my type. I'm seeing someone outside the business, and even if I was single, Eric's lack of maturity would probably turn me off big-time. He looks like a kid, but unfortunately, he also acts like a kid. Despite his looks, his smarts and his sense of humor, that lack of maturity is a deal-breaker to me. That's all well and good as a buddy, but not as a potential long-term partner.

PWH - Well, that concludes it for our interview with Emma Chase, arguably the SWF's most popular and visible manager of recent years, and a future Hall of Immortals valet in my book.

Chase - You're too kind, Pro Wrestling Hits! But thanks for the interview as well, and hope you keep supporting good business from the Chase Agency, dollar signs or no dollar signs!

Big Roguey · August 20, 2013

Ah, MichiganHero, one of the prominent members of Team Puroresu, or should I say, Team Puwowesu. No, I won't marry you, and why? Because you're the guys rooting for Alan Parent, the official runt of High Stakes Season 2. But if you rooted for Masked Cougar instead, perhaps I'd reconsider. Voting for Masked Cougar on Week 4 of High Stakes...is good business.

We'll just have to wait to find out just who that new friend is... <div style="text-align:center;"> <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/CuFHjP5H0hw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="The Queers - Surfin' Bird"></iframe></div></div> (w/BJ O'Neill) vs The Make 'em Better Euros (39/D-)</div> Jobbers with a gimmick? You betcha! And that gimmick is...that of being jobbers. The Make 'em Better Euros, or the MBEs for short, are Enhancement Eddie and Giancarlo Giabroni, and while we all know who's going over here, the MBEs have absolutely zero chemistry as tag partners - must be the fact that Signor Giabroni doesn't speak a word of English...yet. Indeed, as he's tapping out from a Prudential Pain Plan, we can hear Giabroni cursing in Italian and begging referee Shane Stones to call for the bell... WINNERS - The Fly Boys in 3:43 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - 24/7 Partay Dudez Interview Taylor (62/C-)</div> Joshua Taylor is tonight's Bubblegum Factory guest, and being the heels that they are, hosts Mainstream and Stevie roundly criticize Taylor's performance in the match, saying that he didn't just fail to bring the U.S. title back to the United States, he also failed to bring it back to North America, which justifies the Canadian boy band members' disappointment. Taylor emphasizes that it was Ino's weasel tactics, having deliberately bumped into the referee, that had allowed him to keep the title, and that tonight, he wants to invoke that rematch clause on Uprising's main event. Taylor, however, is interrupted by The Zim, who says that he has more of a right than he does to fight for that U.S. title - not only is he an American, but also an exciting American. And, as he adds, a "sexual American." After concluding his promo with his signature "BOO-YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!" and pelvic thrusts, Uprising GM Lisa Bowen's entrance music - the Who's "Man with Money" (lyrics - "She wants a man with lots of money, and not a poor boy") plays in the background, signaling the booking of a match... <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Lisa Bowen Books Four-Way Match (53/D-)</div> It's actually Lisa Bowen and her new assistant, BJ O'Neill, stepping out to book the match, and after Bowen stumbles on her lines, O'Neill takes over, announcing that tonight's main event will involve Joshua Taylor and Koshiro Ino reprising their battle from Under Control...and Uprising reprising Under Control's main event as the U.S. title match will be a four-way elimination. But unlike the Under Control main event, "where Nicky Champion was robbed and a certain referee ignored the obvious presence of a 7'6" Russian working for a man with lots of money", O'Neill says this four-way will be a no- disqualification match, with the other competitors being the estranged Bumfhole brothers, Randy and The Zim. Neither Taylor nor The Zim has much to say about the match, as the announcers call for a commercial... <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35955" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - The Undawater Union Vignette (47/D-)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/FrankiePerez.jpg</div> The commercial turns out to be a vignette for the new lower midcard stable The Undawater Union, starting with clips of Frankie Perez leaving a smoky rock club with a couple of girls, then hearing what sounds like a late '90s/early '00s Nokia phone ringtone version of The Undawater Union's music. "Is that the theme to Charlie's Angels?", asks one of the girls. "Nice ringtone, Frankie!" The other girl asks if that sound came from the "rocket in your pocket", to which Perez replies that he has some important business to take care of. "I've got your numbers, I'll call you maybe," says Perez, gratuitously referencing Carly Rae Jepsen. "What a spaz!", says the second girl. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/MikeyJames.jpg</div> Then we cut to a scene inside a martial arts dojo, where Mikey James is training with a Mr. Miyagi-style sensei (RIPW trainer Fumihiro Ota, sans ninja outfit, made up to look like a 60-year-old man) and practicing his karate moves. Then the same ringtone from earlier plays while James and other students are meditating. Much to the sensei's chagrin, James stands up and attends to the emergency call, which appears to come from an orb-like device, rather than a cell phone. "It's urgent, sensei," says James, rather apologetically. "I'll give you fifty push-ups on the knuckles next session." "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ME, MICHAEL, AN ROTC COMMANDANT?", asks the sensei. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KirkJameson_zps4c517e77.jpg</div> Next, we have Kirk Jameson, who looks like the token brainiac of this Underwater Union revival, hard at work in his study, wearing a hitherto unseen pair of glasses (OOC - Will work on a bespectacled Jameson alt soon, or request for one!) and seemingly trying to figure out some sort of equation. The same orb-like device starts playing the Undawater Union theme, which prompts Jameson to say "May God have mercy on us all" in mock disgust. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Jessie.jpg</div> Finally, Jessie is at the grocery, pushing a cart around and talking on the phone with her husband, Tom "Angry" Gilmore. She runs off a list of items her husband wants her to buy at the grocery, and promises she'd meet him that night for dinner. As the Undawater Union theme starts playing, she apologizes to Tom, telling him that they'll eat out tomorrow, because she "has to put the fear of Gilmore in somebody...or some people...in secret." "No, Tom! You can't help! This is not the time for Anger Management," Jessie adds, before scooting to the counter and hurriedly paying for the groceries. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/FrankiePerezalt_zpsddc62ace.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/MikeyJamesalt_zpsa6bcddb2.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KirkJamesonalt_zps412a4c50.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Jessiealt_zpsad093e98.jpg</div> The four Undawater Union members assemble at what looks to be their secret headquarters, where they're briefed by their unseen, automated leader, the Rapidly Automated Undawater Leader, or R.A.U.L. (Yes, that's Raul Darkness' voice, though not his likeness - he prefers indie bookings to SWF bookings!) He identifies each Union member by their superhero names - Red Snapper, The Amazing Urchin, Krustacean Kirk and Angel Fish - and talks about their duty to defend the Supreme Wrestling Federation against the forces of evil. "Oh, and by the way," says R.A.U.L., "that cheesy '70s-style music...won't be your entrance theme. <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_9MJZGWmt7A?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="The Toadies Music Video"></iframe></div></div>." Upon hearing their actual entrance music - the Toadies' "I Come from the Water" - the Undawater Union members jump up and down, psyching each other up, and as Krustacean Kirk yells out "LET'S MAKE IT SNAPPEH!!!" like his High Stakes mentor Lobster Warrior used to, they charge out of the headquarters, on their way to stake out those so-called "forces of evil", may they be The Royal Pains, The Eisen Entourage, or even the new tag team champs, The Awesomeness. Marv Earnest is so annoyed by this video that he immediately calls for an actual commercial once it's over.</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">The Undawater Union (w/Angel Fish) vs The Royal Pains (w/"Signeur" Marc DuBois) (57/D+)</div> Much to Marvelous Marv's chagrin, the Union is in action following the break, up against The Royal Pains and their soon-to-be-released cornerman, "Signeur" Marc DuBois. DuBois doesn't do much except stand there and insult the crowd in French, and for the first half of the match, it looks like his interference isn't needed much - The Royal Pains are firmly in control. Still, they have no answer for the Union's babyface comeback, where Red Snapper and Amazing Urchin fight like the Cali Dragons of old; Amazing Urchin does the clean-up job here, using his Scything Shark Kick to floor both legal man El Duque and an interfering Paul Huntingdon, as Red Snapper takes care of DuBois from outside. With Snapper tagged in, El Duque finds himself submitting to the move formerly known as the P-Clutch, and it looks like we can now close the book on this feud...

"This young man should have won High Stakes," says Marvin - Earnest, that is - as Nelson dominates the overall-wearing Glenn Casey. Still, that doesn't stop Kristen Pearce from distracting Darren Smith and allowing A-Prime to step in and bash Casey with the Foreign Object of Desire - the framed, autographed photo which now includes Nelson with Mainstream and Stevie! Nelson lazily goes for the pin as he wins easy over the kayfabe farmer. WINNER - Nelson in 5:20 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - High Concept Impersonates The Awesomeness (56/D+)</div> A-Prime is up next, facing Elmo Benson in singles competition, and Benson, who is wrestling as "Benson Starship", a parody of Jefferson Stardust, announces that this would be the last impersonation High Concept will be pulling off for the meantime. It's time to get serious and win those titles again, but having said that, "Starship" bangs his head like a madman, goes into some over-the-top air guitar moves that include trying to play it with his teeth, then behind his back. As "Starship" pantomimes burning his guitar Jimi Hendrix-style, "Greggy Grouchobling" does his best Keith Moon impersonation, pretending to do unbelievable drum rolls and wreck his air drum set. This is all presided over by their manager Haley Buck ("Avril Springbreak"), who simply says "You oughta know that THE CONCEPTNESS ROCKS! And dances in the dark", referring to the name Alanis Springsteen being a portmanteau of Alanis Morrisette and Bruce Springsteen. <div style="text-align:center;">"Benson Starship" (w/"Avril Springbreak" and "Greggy Grouchobling") vs A-Prime (w/Kristen Pearce) (57/D+)</div> "I can't believe those High Concept goofs are fighting for the tag titles at Break Like the Wind," laments Marv Earnest, as Jerry Eisen and Eve Runcord both tell him to lighten up, and recognize that they're planning to get serious and make a concerted push for the tag belts, which they last held in 2006. Here, it looks like A-Prime wants revenge for "Benson Starship" (then "Elmo the Plumber") eliminating Mainstream at the Under Control pre-show battle royal and securing High Concept (or, in here, "The Conceptness") a tag team title shot. The Partay Dudez's bouncer is all business here, using basic, yet powerful offensive maneuvers to pulverize "Starship." Still, "Starship" is able to kick out of a Running Powerslam at 4:00, and somehow surprise A-Prime (as he argues with referee Ric Young) with a Shockwave from Next Year at 6:35. With A-Prime looking sure to drop this match to a much smaller man, Kristen Pearce runs in with ANOTHER Foreign Object of Desire framed photo, but Young catches this and disqualifies the Partay Dudez's muscle! WINNER - "Starship" in 6:42 by DQ <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - The Awesomeness Beats Down on High Concept (56/D+)</div> The Awesomeness does not appreciate High Concept's over-the-top impersonation of their air guitar playing and air drumming, which is why they rush out of the locker room and beat down on their tag title challengers! The new tag champs look to be in peak form as heels, emphasizing the controversial elements of rock stardom (Cannonball gets carried away, screaming "LET'S GO F--- SOME GROUPIES!" and doesn't get censored) and making sure High Concept stays down and out. Even Alanis Springsteen is involved in the assault, slapping Haley Buck around and crudely bodyslamming her at ringside! "I thought I knew The Awesomeness. I thought I could appreciate those guys and their desire to make it in the rock scene. I was wrong. Boy, I was wrong," says Jerry Eisen, who had once championed the team by hysterically screaming "SHOCK AND AWE!!! SHOCK AND AWE!!!" whenever they'd win a match with their finisher. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - The Allied Forces Argue with Anderson (70/C+)</div> Backstage, Jack Giedroyc is congratulating Valiant for his win over John Anderson at Under Control, while also celebrating the fact that he's been named one of the competitors in a three-way number one contender match for Supreme Heavyweight. "This could be the big one, Valiant," says Giedroyc, who is interrupted by Anderson, who insincerely congratulates Valiant on his title retention and offers to teach Giedroyc everything about "landing the big one." Giedroyc tells Anderson to "bugger off", and when he refuses, The Allied Forces, specifically Valiant, threaten to give him a beatdown. Anderson backs off, holding up his arms and telling Giedroyc that he'd better follow in Valiant's footsteps and "be a real human being and do what he feels." <div style="text-align:center;">The Psychedelic Soul Brothers (w/Chloe Dean) vs 24/7 Partay Dudez (w/Kristen Pearce, A-Prime and Calum Nelson) (51/D-)</div> What better way to feel good about yourselves than an easy win against a team of jobbers? But The Psychedelic Soul Brothers don't want to make it easy - even KP Avatar is giving Mainstream and Stevie a hard time, but as evidenced by a botched running elbow drop at 2:50, KP's off his game tonight due to what dirt sheets claim are "unspecified personal problems." The Partay Dudez, meanwhile, get a lot of heat for Mainstream's off-key bleats of "FEVER BEAT! FEEL THE FEVER BEAT!" and a few sneaky attempts by A-Prime and Calum Nelson to interfere. Despite Jez McArthuer telling Nelson, A-Prime and Kristen Pearce to leave before he disqualifies the Dudez, the heels pick up the win, as Mainstream's Apparition #14 on Avatar sends the kayfabe old-school soul screamer "down in a ball of confusion" (Marv Earnest referencing the Temptations) as he counts the arena lights as he often does. WINNERS - 24/7 Partay Dudez in 6:49 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - FD3 Gets Ready (51/D-)</div> "It's time to Occupy," says Eisen Entourage member Franklin D. Huggins III. "Time to OCCUPY SWF!" Right. And how have you occupied the SWF lately? <div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkmyZ8juZWw" rel="external nofollow">The Allied Forces</a> (w/Dawn the Cheerleader and Hannah) vs <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GOfe1bX8bII?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="party hard - andrew wk (w/ lyrics)"></iframe></div></div> (67/C+)</div> The Eisen Entourage have been spinning their wheels as of late - again - but they still give the Jack Giedroyc/Valiant tandem a tough, open fight in this match. Of note here is Dozer Smith taunting Giedroyc and Valiant, shouting "NOBODY WANTS TO WATCH YOU, ALLIED FORCES! ALL PEOPLE WANT IS TO WATCH YOUR MANAGERS!" as he repeatedly kicks Valiant in the corner, landing a powerful avalanche at 3:50 and tagging Huggins in for the Huggins Kiss. Despite that, Valiant kicks out, and eventually recovers well enough to tag Giedroyc in as he cleans house on the Entourage...and John Anderson, who joined Jerry, Marv and Eve on commentary and an easier shot at interfering. Dozer ends up getting Crashed On by Giedroyc as the Entourage lose yet another tag team match with Eric Eisen only contracted to physically appear on A-shows and PPVs. WINNERS - The Allied Forces in 9:45 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Stone Vignette (57/D+)</div> Edd Stone Vignette #2 premiered on Under Control, and we once again see Edd Stone at the club, screaming "EDD-FU!!!" and showing off his martial arts and breakdance moves in order to 1) have the bouncer allow him to smoke in a non-smoking club, 2) impress a group of college-age girls who otherwise think he's a loser, and 3) have the girls buy him drinks and "romance the Stone." <div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlzzCSVCqOc" rel="external nofollow">Joshua Taylor</a> vs <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/h0tu6kclScY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Saturday Night"></iframe></div></div> (w/Dawn the Cheerleader) vs Koshiro Ino © vs <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/239vHrwt8Rs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Korn - A.D.I.D.A.S. (Official HD Video)"></iframe></div></div> (w/"Easy" Emma Chase) - Four-Way Elimination Match for SWF United States title (75/B-)</div> Tonight's four-way elimination match has the same rules as the four-way on Under Control, but one key difference - nobody can get disqualified. And it isn't too long into the match when Koshiro Ino eliminates Randy Bumfhole with the Ino-Plex off an Emma Chase ARGUMENT with referee Shane Stones. Chase asks The Zim why he didn't go for the cover, to which he says that Ino had "dibs on the cover" and that there's still a long way to go in the match. Unfortunately for The Zim, he's next to get eliminated, this time due to a count-out! The Zim had done good by ramming Taylor against the steel steps, but he had made the boneheaded decision of questioning Chase's decision not to flash the dollar signs and arguing with her outside the ring. Too bad, we guess, for the so-called "Sexual American." At 7:00, Taylor and Ino are the last two men in the ring, and we get another rematch between the two bitter rivals, Ino hoping to keep the U.S. title in foreign shores and Taylor hoping to bring it back to the States. Taylor tries applying the Butterfly Lock on Ino, but due to The Zim's earlier attack, he isn't able to keep it on as tightly as he normally does! As such, Ino escapes faster than expected, and eventually holds on to the belt by countering another Butterfly Lock attempt with the Kobra's Bite. No Biggins, no problem. WINNER - Ino in 10:32. Koshiro Ino is STILL the SWF United States Champion. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Kirk Challenges Ino (68/C+)</div> Koshiro Ino is celebrating in the ring and holding his U.S. title up in the air, mocking the crowd by sarcastically shouting "USA! USA!" His celebration, however, is interrupted by Krustacean Kirk, who's accompanied by his manager Angel Fish and his Undawater Union allies Red Snapper and The Amazing Urchin. He says he's decided to use the automatic title shot he won on High Stakes, and he wants to challenge Ino for the U.S. belt and pull off a "snappeh" win for "all the little underwater critters of the SWF Galaxy" and, most of all, for America and "American sports entertainment." Kirk gets a loud cheer for this announcement as the announcers call it a wrap for tonight's Uprising and tease an explosive Supreme TV to follow on Tuesday. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35955" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Overall Grade - 70/C+ SWF Uprising Rating - 1.00</div></blockquote>

Thirdy's Thoughts: Post-Shows OOC:

- Well, this is interesting. Rickymex and flaviooooo have pulled away from the rest of the pack, though we've still got another week and it's not inconceivable for MichiganHero, kieranforthewin or Phantom Stranger, for instance, to rally in the fourth week prediction. Still, requirements remain the same to qualify for the prize - six out of nine shows predicted - and as we saw last month, non-qualifiers MIGHT receive a consolation prize if they top the rankings, or if the occasion calls for it. The prize, once again, is naming a worker of your choice to take part in Season 3 of High Stakes, preferably someone 30 or younger.

1. Rickymex - 39.5/46, 86% (+9/11, 6/7, +1)

2. flaviooooo - 44.5/52, 86% (+9/11, 6/7, +1)

3. MichiganHewo - 38.5/52, 74% (+7/11, 4/7, +1)

3. kieranforthewin - 38.5/52, 74% (+7/11, 5/7, +1)

5. Phantom Stranger - 25/34, 74%

6. Croquemitaine - 36.5/52, 70% (+9/11, 4/7, +1)

Pteroid - 12/18, 67% (+6/11, 6/7)

7. Psycho Sam - 32/52, 62% (+4/11, 4/7, +1)

7. Midnightnick - 32/52, 62% (+5/11, 6/7, +1)

Russelrules44 - 9/18, 50% (+4/11, 5/7)

- Good job Croquemitaine for correctly predicting the number one tag contender and the last elimination. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Figured it was about time High Concept got back into the thick of things, since it's been a while since they last held the titles and they're both good workers. And as you saw in Uprising, they'll be dropping the impersonator gimmick for the meantime as they hope to win the belts from the recently-turned Awesomeness.

- Jack Bruce vs Christian Faith in the cage match was a bit of a disappointment grade-wise - in early trial runs, that match would usually score an 80 or 81, which is pretty good for a face vs face match on TEW 2013.

- As for Josh Taylor winning by DQ in the U.S. title match, I wanted to see how a PPV win could help his popularity, and focus on Ino's tendency to use dirty tricks and weasel tactics to ensure that, despite the occasional loss, he has yet to be pinned in the SWF.

- I was actually quite pleased by Frehley vs Vengeance. Their previous matches were unmitigated disasters in the C-range, but being that it was something for the middle of Under Control (and because it led the second round of voting to fill out the card), I was quite happy with the grade. That said, I don't think they'll be facing each other for a while.

- Yeah, Giancarlo Giabroni sucks. But I hired him anyway because his name made a good match for Edward Cornell's temporary "Enhancement Eddie" gimmick (he started complaining about being stuck in developmental). He won't be around long, just like Paradox and Paradigm, whose three-month deals are about to expire in a month or so...

OOC - MOAR SLASH! Don't worry, kiddies, we'll be returning soon to the pranks and the booze sessions and KP's musical adventures and the set of Idealistic Teacher, but for now, here's the latest as far as KP's rocky relationship with Dawn the Cheerleader is concerned...

Also, this could be the last call for predictions! Will likely be out most of the day tomorrow, so best case scenario is Supreme TV up tonight (or Friday morning Eastern time), worst case I'll be posting it on Sunday.

<div style="text-align:center;">"Leaving the Figurative Promotion"</div>

Sunday, September 22, 2013

Hampton Inn, Natchitoches, LA

7:30 p.m.

In each of our individual lives, we all have our own faces and heels. For Dawn's parents, I was always the heel. Too young. Too immature. A smart kid, yes, but smart kids are supposed to be the doctors and lawyers and policymakers of tomorrow, not professional wrestlers, much less those whose job...is to do the job. I had offered to bond with her dad over beer and MMA come "meet the parents" day in California, but she refused - "My dad will use that as a chance to point out the obvious. You know, that wrestling is predetermined and that you guys aren't true fighters." Yet she always saw me as a babyface in her book. Until that fateful night at Flaming Meaux in Chapel Hill, where Lisa Bowen leveled it up and started playing the seduction game in earnest.

Tonight, I decided to leave the figurative promotion.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KPAvatar1_zps5b3cfe33.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DawntheCheerleaderalt.jpg</div>

"I'm sorry, Dawn. You know how much I tried to make things work, right? But I guess everyone was right. My brother Charlie, Christian, Phil, even old Dread back when he'd drop by the locker room. This is a tough business."

"What are you saying, KP?"

"This is a tough business on relationships. And I don't think I'm ready for one right now."

"So what you're saying is..."

"Yes, Dawn," I replied, taking a deep breath. "Yes, SOMETHING happened between me and Lisa. Better find out now from me than find it out from somebody else, probably from that motormouth herself or from one of her male besties, bed buddies or whatever. And I regret everything that happened. I regret having taken that role on that shitty movie, I regret letting the alcohol make me think with my dick, I regret getting swayed by that piece of shit Sinclair. Something did happen, Dawn, and I'd understand it if you want me out of your life and out of the SWF. At least your parents won't be complaining about this college graduate and lifelong honor student wasting his life in the squared circle. At least you won't have to worry about me spending too much time with Remmy and Ash. I love you, Dawn, and you should always remember that, but this isn't the KP Avatar you'd want to love. You don't know how sorry I am that this all had to happen..."

Silence.

Then, a slap on the face as I proceeded to head out of the hotel and join my buddies. I didn't care if Cam and Casey had succeeded in scaring The Awesomeness into not reporting the details of my misadventure with Lisa. So what if there's an old adage which goes, "What she doesn't know won't hurt her"? People would be bound to tell anyway. If not Lisa, then The Awesomeness. If not them, then maybe somebody else in the Klubb whom Lisa had talked to, someone whom she told stories to about KP Avatar being the "best f--- in the world." I couldn't live with such an incident bearing down on my conscience.

It was an enjoyable run while it lasted. But it probably wasn't meant to be. Once again, Dawn, I'm sorry.

Me and Flavioo have different answers this time so the tie should be broken. I have a feeling I'll lose. Probably because I skim the shows and really pay attention to the backstage segments.

Good job KP on being a man and breaking up with the girl before she really got hurt.
